They came, they saw, and they conquered — well, the miserable conditions at the very least. And as for that formidable foe, cancer, the Prince Edward County Relay For Life fighters got their best shot in yet. After 12 hours of trudging through a brown soupy trench where the track should have been, where rubber boots were the height of fashion and a constant mist swirled in the air, they learned they had raised $222,775 and counting — the highest sin-

pleased to see the no-quit attitude of those assembled. “People stayed the night. It was constantly people in
numbers around the track,” she said. “It was amazing to see them pull together and tough through it.” But then, Guernsey noted that most people at the event were touched in some fashion by cancer and they knew quite well that one overnight was a small price to pay in their honour. “Cancer never sleeps, so for one night, we won’t,” she said. “Those who have been through treatment have had to endure really tough nights and days. This is 12 hours. It’s pretty minor.” Seeing the colourful costumes pour out into the track following the Survivor’s victory lap, it was evident that cancer is a disease that does not discriminate based on age.

Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) meet in Oshawa as since early May. The Grade 10 sprinter made his mark amongst the best sprinters his age in Ontario last week, taking third place and the bronze medal in the 100-metre race on Friday before winning a silver medal in the 200metre race Saturday.
While transportation officials are encouraging carpooling and alternate routes to avoid queues, many residents are fuming with the announcement the Glenora ferry will be down to 30-minute service until mid-July. Ministry of Transportation Ontario (MTO) Eastern Region marine manager Stuart Jones confirmed in an e-mail that the 30-minute service is expected to remain in place until midJuly. Jones said the change in service is due to an overhaul of the Frontenac II, which regularly services Amherst Island. “The MV Quinte Loyalist that is normally put into service this time of year at Glenora is presently in service at Amherst Island to replace the Frontenac II which is currently undergoing a major refit at a ship yard in Hamilton,” Jones said in the e-mail. “There was a delay moving the boats in the spring due to the late season ice that was interfering with moving the vessels and some additional work that is needed to the Frontenac II.” Stuart said the Glenora ferry will return to 15minute service as soon as the Frontenac II is returned to Amherst Island and the MV Quinte Loyalist back to Glenora. As far as traffic is concerned, Jones said drivers can expect some line-ups. “Motorists can expect queues during peak times and passengers are encouraged to carpool or find alternative routes to reduce wait times at the ferry,” he said. Jones said there are usually about 40,000 one-way trips for cars per month in July and August while May and June typically range from 25,000–30,000 vehicles one way. He said the ministry is aware of the impacts changes in service have on drivers and thanked them for their patience.

“We do try to schedule work during non-peak times to help reduce the impacts, however, due to unexpected challenges with moving the boats and the additional work needed to the Frontenac II, the return to 15-minute service at Glenora has been slightly delayed,” he said. Steve Manlow, who lives near Lake on the Mountain, doesn't accept that explanation. He said he has voiced that opinion with ministers of transportation, economic development, rural affairs, the attorney general, Prince Edward-Hastings MPP Todd Smith and many others. Manlow said every five years the ferries have to go to dry dock for maintenance. “(Frontenac II) has been down in Hamilton for six weeks already in dry dock. Wouldn't you think, if you knew every five years that that boat had to be somewhere, you'd do it when the other boat isn't in service anyhow?” Manlow said. “… Five years in advance, you'd kind of anticipate

Kingston than to Belleville, it's much more convenient. The other issue is I have a medical problem and I have to go to a specialist in Kingston,” he said. “I'm sure there are quite a few county residents who are having to go to Kingston for additional support services for medical. You can't afford to miss one of those appointments.” Prince Edward County residents aren't the only ones incensed by the service changes. A letter from Charles Milne, representing a group of residents who live along Loyalist Parkway in Bath and Adolphustown, says the ferry service is vital. “Already this spring vehicles have lined up on weekends for more than an hour to wait for the single ferry service,” the letter says. “When summer
arrives, with only one ferry, it is likely there will be twoto three-hour waits on weekdays and much more on weekends.” The letter says frustrated drivers are much more likely to bypass the counties altogether or just stay home. It says there is also an impact of people who commute to work between Kingston and Picton, local shoppers who use the ferry service, and especially tourists. “In a province which celebrates and benefits from having the largest freshwater lake system in the world, it is critical that there be robust contingency planning to insure adequate ferry service for all in such an economic region that is so tourist and seasonally dependent,” the letter says.

Congratulations, and thank you for your contribution to our community as cadets and, one day, as our future leaders.� Mertens also said it was encouraging to see so many young people taking advantage of the opportunity the Royal Canadian Air Cadets presents. “The numbers that I see now are far greater than what I've seen in the past, so

The local air cadet squadron celebrated the completion of its year in familiar fashion this month. It was the 36th annual ceremonial review for 851 Prince Edward Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron on Tuesday and, as usual, there were a plethora of honours bestowed to deserving cadets. Major Mike Campbell was commentator for the event and reflected on the year in his opening remarks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been a busy and rewarding season for the squadron. They were able to participate in many activities and have accomplished a magnitude of training on Tuesday nights and weekends throughout the year,â&#x20AC;? Campbell said. The squadron has increased significantly over last year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; up to 35 cadets â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and Campbell said each of them has put significant effort into their work this term. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As with every training year, the senior cadets have taken on many duties over and beyond what is expected of them, while the younger cadets have met various challenges with enthusiasm and interest,â&#x20AC;? Campbell said. The squadron participated in several local events through the year including both the Picton and Milford fairs, provided flag party and honour guard for both Veteran's Day and Pumpkinfest, and participated in Remembrance Day services in both Picton and Wellington. Additionally, the cadets took on gliding at the Mountainview Airport, participated in the Eastern Ontario Air Rifle Competition in Trenton and were involved in a joint leadership training exercise and mock tower jump with the 2818 Army Cadets in Belleville. Mayor Peter Mertens acted as Reviewing Officer, taking part in a ceremonial uniform inspection of the cadets. Mertens said he was honoured to be participating in the event again and commended the organization for helping sculpt future leaders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today is about the cadets and recognition for what they accomplished over the

LHIN seeks more info on hospital plans Business case for redevelopment may be rejigged Jason Parks
Staff writer
They may not be going all the way back to the drawing board, but plans to redevelop Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital continue to be in a state of flux. The Southeast Local Health Integration Network, (SE LHIN) the controller of local health-care spending, has asked for clarification on some issues and adjustments on others before it approves a business case created by Quinte Healthcare Corporation (QHC) to build a new primary healthcare and community care facility. Once approved by the local LHIN, those plans would be forwarded to the Ministry of Health and Long-term Care's capital projects branch for final approval. But a ministerial seal of approval won't come before the local LHIN provides its final blessing and that passing grade is being held up until QHC modifies its current proposal to be in alignment with the Ministry of Health's new direction in funding that sees health-care dollars clawed away from hospitals and invested into community-based patient care options in order to funnel less-ill patients away from acute care emergency rooms. The SE LHIN has had the business case to build a new PECMH at a greenfield site since last June but it wasn't until late April before CEO Paul Huras explained to the hospital group the LHIN
would not provide the required approval without rejigging the plan. Speaking for QHC president and chief executive officer Mary Clare Egberts who was unavailable, vice-president and chief nursing officer Katherine Stansfield admitted its been a frustrating process thus far but that the LHIN, QHC, the Prince Edward Family Health Team and the Prince Edward County Healthcare Alliance would be meeting throughout the summer to adjust the plan so it can gain approval from both levels. Stansfield said the SE LHIN (who informally spoke to the ministry on QHC's behalf regarding the plan) had questions on how much engagement had taken place with physicians and community stakeholders when drafting the original plan. The LHIN also shared the ministry's concern about the size of the proposed facility. To be fair, QHC submitted the plan almost a year prior to a drastic cut in the number of inpatient beds that will see PECMH go from a 22-bed facility to a 12-14 bed hospital over the next 18 months. This cut in beds came about as the Ministry of Health and Long-term Care altered its funding formula and began to ramp up the HealthcareBased Allocation Model. “The plan was looking at data from a couple of years ago and now, with all the changes in funding with health care and so much of it being offered in the community, the LHIN wants to see that reflected in the plan because it is a hospital and it is also a community care facility,” Stansfield said. “The number of beds was a concern, now we are looking at
a different funding model for the number of inpatient beds in our current hospital and so, that will affect our projections in this current model. I think the networked plan will align more with where the ministry expects health care to be going in the future so rather than more beds, there will be fewer beds.” Some of the care that might have been offered in the hospital would now be managed in the community through the family health team clinics which actually divert people from the emergency room. “Over time, this model has to look like its aligned to move acute care to the community,” she added. Despite the fact the size of the facility will need adjustment, Stansfield believes that plan is sound in most other facets. “It's really not starting from scratch and tossing out this business case, it's really about saying this is where we think the ministry will have some issues, let's get to those before we submit the business case so we can meet them head on,” she explained. Huras told QHC getting a LHIN-approved plan into the hands of the capital branch is a top priority for his group. Stansfield hoped the there would be frequent meetings that involved the LHIN, QHC, the PEFHT and the PECHA and an approved plan could be submitted later this year. It's expected to take between 10 and 15 years to get shovels in the ground once an approved plan to build a new PECMH works its way through the capital branch queue.

County begins developing strategic direction for community development Residents encouraged to complete 10-minute online survey to help department streamline its priorities for service Chad Ibbotson
Staff writer
The municipality has begun collecting public input which will help form the new strategic plan for community development. Consulting firm Millier Dickinson Blais and the Prince Edward County Community Development Commission (CDC) is asking for public input which will help shape the CDC's community development strategic plan. The goal of the community consultation is to gather public input on the current strengths and weaknesses of services and the county as a whole, and challenges that must be addressed as the county
moves forward. A release from the municipality says the completed plan will outline the agenda of community development and will guide the municipality for the next several years. CDC chair Terry Shortt said the consultation is vital in ensuring the effectiveness of the plan. “Public opinion is essential to developing an effective strategic plan,” he said in the release. “This is the time for residents and businesses to ensure that their voice is heard.” Mayor Peter Mertens said there is a significant opportunity for the community development strategic plan to work in
concert with the municipality's other strategic documents. “With the official plan also underway, the timing is right to ensure that the planning framework supports the community development objectives and vice versa,” Mertens said in the release. “I am pleased to see this important work beginning to take shape.” The online survey take approximately 10 minutes to complete and will be available until mid-July. All responses are private and results will be published in compiled set of data, much like the results of the serv-
ice delivery review the municipality recently undertook. Residents can respond as a business owner or manager of a county business, executive for a nonprofit or municipal organization, or simply as a resident. Among the questions are, “How do you generally feel about Prince Edward County as a place to live?” and “What are the three most important community development issues you would like Prince Edward County to address in the next five years?” The survey also gauges

public satisfaction with products and services in the county, such as community festivals and events, education, and transportation infrastructure. Additionally, the survey looks to weigh the importance of the various factors affecting the future growth of Prince Edward County, such as rising property vales, marina investment, and en-
hanced tourism and amenities. There are 12 questions in total. Along with the survey the consulting firm has planned focus groups who will provide additional input in July. Further information on the community development strategic plan can be found on the County’s web site, www.pecounty.on.ca.

PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY
Looking back in the
Picton Gazette 80 years ago — 1933
■ The Picton Collegiate Vocational Institute announced its plans to offer a one-year general commercial course for students preparing for the workforce but not able to carry on with the work of the regular course work at the secondary level. ■ After an absence of eight years, Marjorie Bird returned to her Lowe Street home to find that large quantities of Crown Derby china and other valuables had been taken. Bird discovered her curtains hanging on the walls at another home and notified police. Most of the goods were later returned to her. ■ Provincial secretary G.H. Challis spoke in Picton about Canada’s status in the world. He noted Canada sat fifth on a list of the largest exporting countries in the world and had built up a credit system admired by officials from other countries.
60 years ago — 1953
■ With the Belleville club as its sponsor, the Picton Kiwanis Club held an organizational meeting at the Royal Hotel. Carl Reid was named the first president of the club. Rounding out the inaugural executive were Chris Lockyer, G.S. Duncan, Frank Dunning, Jack Ward, Jesse Mason, Neil Love, Clelan Blakely, H.E. McKenzie, and W.D. MacArthur. ■ The Ontario Department of Highways formally announced its intention to add a second ferry and new docks at Glenora. The estimated costs were $100,000 for the vessel, which was designed for 70 passengers and 12 car, and $250,000 for extensive dock renovations on both sides of the Adolphus Reach passage. ■ The Pearsoll Sales Arena on the Glenora Road was destroyed by fire. Fortunately, no livestock nor people were in the building at the time of the blaze. Sparks from the fire caught the Pearsoll home several kilometres away but that building did not catch fire by the time firefighters responded to the blaze.
40 years ago — 1973
■ The Picton Arena Commission voted to increase ice rates for the upcoming season. It was decided the rates would increase by $1 per hour. Minor hockey, figure skating and girls hockey would pay $11 per hour and men’s hockey $16 per hour. The commission also voted to increase the price of hot dogs and popcorn by five cents each. ■ Hundreds of past and present students and families from Wellington turned out to celebrate the retirement of C. Milton Snider after an unprecedented 41 years as a teacher and a principal.
20 years ago — 1993
■ The Prince Edward County Board of Education approved a $145,000 bid for an R-2000 home built by students across from PECI on Johnson Street. The property and construction cost the board $132,000 and the small profit was to be put to use to help the school’s technical department finance further projects. ■ The Village of Wellington planned to kick off its 130th birthday celebrations July 1 with a special old-fashioned town council meeting with period costumes as well as traditional Canada Day activities. ■ Picton town council vowed to review its policy on crossing guards following questions about the absence of a guard at the corner of Bridge and Union streets.

Forest bathing, today’s green medicine
I have mentioned Frontenac Provincial Park in past columns, and I will surely do so again. It is one of my favourite provincial parks, primarily because of its remoteness. I have been on 15 km trails where I’ve walked all day and not seen a soul, have not heard a cell phone, received a text message or heard the distinctive beep of a computer when an e-mail message has come in. No motor boats, no cars, and rarely an airplane. I am alone with only the sound of nature around me – the diagnostic clucking of a chipmunk, or the explosion of wings as a ruffed grouse takes off, or a wood thrush with his flute like melodies echoing through the trees. Sometimes there is nothing. Absolute quiet. The air is fresh and invigorating, punctuated with the fragrance of the forest – of leaves, mosses, and dank wood. I close my eyes and a feeling of absolute peace washes over me, as invoices, deadlines, and unanswered e-mails fade away and become lost in the morning haze over a distant wetland. The Japanese refer to this experience as “shinrin-yoku” or “forest bathing”. They firmly believe that the scent of trees, the sound of brooks, and the feel of sunshine have a calming effect. Beyond the obvious soothing result, it also has been found that essential wood oils, known as phytoncides (natural preservatives), as well as fungicides emitted by many plants, can actually increase natural Formal testimony wrapped up in the Environmental Review Tribunal hearings on Ostrander Point during a marathon session at the Sophaisburgh Town Hall. On behalf of the Alliance to Protect Prince Edward County, the appellant on the grounds of human health, lawyer Eric Gillespie hurried to get two witnesses, Dr. John Harrison and Dr. Robert McMurtry, on the stand to provide reply testimony to evidence supplied by expert witnesses for Gilead Power and the Ministry of Environment approvals branch. McMurtry’s testimony
killer cells in humans, thus enhancing our immune systems. The chemical compounds emitted by trees, released from pockets between the leaf cells, produce fragrances that have been shown to prevent, and even cure, cancer. Biologist Joan Maloof says, “When we breath them in (these fragrances), they become part of our bodies, the forest becomes part of us…..we are increasingly cutting ourselves off from Nature’s drugs, which are free, and handing our health care over to the drug companies, which are not.” Research into “forest bathing” suggests that we benefit from breathing in ‘phytoncides’, the volatile organic compounds plants emit to protect themselves from bacteria, fungi and insects. There have been 120 airborne volatile chemicals
discovered in these beneficial emissions, of which only 70 have actually been identified. Results compiled from several related studies show a wide range of positive benefits from just a mere stroll in the woods. These benefits include decreased blood glucose levels in diabetic patients, a decrease in stress hormones, heart rate, blood pressure, depression, anger, fatigue, and depression, while psychological vigour increases. Japan, who we can thank for opening our eyes, has many conditions that favour the practice of forest bathing. Forests occupy 67 per cent of the land in Japan and are easily accessible. Japanese tree species including Japanese cypress, Japanese cedar, Japanese beech and Japanese oak are all proven to be effective in raising natural killer cells activity. The Japanese government now officially recognizes certain forests by granting them designations of Forest Therapy Base and Forest Therapy Road. While forest bathing, it’s not important to power walk, but rather, to simply absorb the forest through the five senses: the murmuring of a stream, birds singing, the colours and fragrance of the forest, even taste in some cases. Given the evidence, it seems that there is something to all this, that our exposure to the woods makes us more healthy. Those who have suffered no illnesses will invariably admit to having spent time in the woods, whether working there,
or just enjoying a leisurely walk. If I can be considered any kind of an example, I can’t recall the last time I have suffered a case of the flu. And I can’t remember the last time I actually had a cold. The only time I was in a hospital overnight in almost 70 years was for appendicitis at the age of 5 and a tonsillectomy when I was 12. Is this coincidental, or has a lifetime exposure to trees actually benefited me in some way? I have talked in past columns about how walking keeps us fit. As we get older, it keeps us limber and it keeps us active so we don`t fall victim to learned helplessness. We need to keep moving. Now with new evidence pointing to forests being able to neutralize toxins in our environment, thereby benefitting us in still other ways, it would behoove us to concentrate our hiking efforts to wooded trails so we can glean even more benefits from the effort. According to the experts, the concept makes sense. We have spent much of our evolutionary history in natural environments, so returning to Nature is almost like a physiological homecoming of sorts.
revolved around six areas where he felt there was partial agreement with what the other witnesses presented and others he felt a lack of agreement was evident. He conceded symptoms found around wind turbines like sleep disturbance, tinnitus, nausea, dizziness , and mood disturbance are commonplace in the general population; hosts are less likely to complain, there is a lack of a direct linear relationship between dBA exposure and complaints — though dBA doesn’t capture all the qualities of turbine noise; bias exists
among critics of the industry, while adverse health effects secondary to living in the environs of wind turbines are not recognized in mainstream medicine; noise itself is, and there is insufficient evidence about the precise mechanism causing harm to humans but not that adverse conditions are occurring. McMurtry disagreed with the experts, noting the unique elements of adverse health effects near wind turbines should be weighed in diagnosis as there are few alternate explanations, symptom counts are not useful in making a diagnosis
or ruling one out; the findings seem to indicate there is a plausible biological mechanism for complaints of high annoyance causing symptoms, there is no useful monitoring for turbine noise exposure, nor measures of health evaluation; and symptoms don’t appear to be related to aging The tribunal’s co-chairs have asked all the parties for final submissions in writing by today. Oral reply is scheduled for Toronto June 21 at 9:30 p.m. Teleconferencing will be open.

Ferry inconveniences likely should have been avoided
WHILE it may not completely deter tourists from coming to Prince Edward County — the Hwy 49 route is just as quick, if not as scenic for those coming from Kingston and points east — and it may only inconvenience a small number of Lennox and Addington County residents who choose to commute by ferry to work and shopping here in Prince Edward and those residents in the county’s southeast for whom the ferry is the fastest link to Kingston, downgrade of ferry service at the Glenora crossing seems to be a catastrophe that should have been avoided with a bit of foresight. One can appreciate the notion that the Ministry of Transportation felt it could have the Frontenac II back in local waters before peak season hit — it managed that in 2008 following a similar exercise — but the possibility of late season ice isn’t exactly new to this part of Ontario, thus it seems puzzling the ministry would decide that it should wait to send the boat to dry dock in Hamilton when it could have done so in the fall. Normally, the demand at the Glenora crossing dies out after Thanksgiving to the point where one vessel can do the job. Regularly, then, only one is operational. Perhaps the ministry did not want to leave itself without the larger vessel to cross the stretch between Millhaven and Amherst Island during the winter months, particularly since the crossing is the only means of transportation on and off that island, but one must consider that any mechanical issue with that ferry over the winter months would have required either a vessel from Glenora or some alternate and costly means of transportation to be put into place around the clock. It would seem plausible that these ferries would be the answer in that instance, and thus, it would also seem logical the ministry should have done everything in its power to ensure the Frontenac II was in for its service then and taken care of well before it put a pressure on a system that so many commuters rely on during peak seasons. For years, the residents of Amherst Island have been asking for some further review into ferry systems in this part of the province as they have often had to give up the Frontenac II, which they pay to use and for many years paid to staff, if it was needed at Wolfe Island or even at Glenora. While a major component of their questioning was in the fairness of paying for a boat they feel is every bit of as much a part of the highway system as those serving Glenora or Wolfe Island, some Amherst Island residents also wanted to know more about the maintenance of the vessels, the reasoning behind the system in place, and back-up plans if the system broke down as it has this year. Perhaps it is time the Ministry of Transportation has such a review with public consultation. In the process, perhaps it can chart a course to ensure the three area ferry routes always have access to the vessels necessary to meet the public’s expectations.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR June events include author readings and Community plays big role in success of Kids of Steel triathlon theatre workship
The last two weeks of June offer a number of interesting events and workshops at the library, including herb walks, drama and activist workshops for youth, and two author events. Herbalist Sherri Bergman is presenting the herb walks with the first to be held at the Picton branch. Others may follow at different branches, depending on interest. Bergman will lead a walk in the neighbourhood of the library and help participants identify local plants, explaining their uses and benefits. The walks will end with tea and more information back at the library. Cost is $20 payable to Sherri and registration is required at 613242-2096 or by e-mail: herbsetc2002@yahoo.ca. The first herb walk happens this Saturday in Picton, June 15 from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. On the same day, at 2 p.m., at the Ameliasburgh Town Hall, the library invites families to a free movie. Showing will be Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and snacks will be available for purchase. Note that this film is rated PG-13. Monday, June 17 at 3 p.m., all teens are invited to a free workshop on activism at the Picton branch. Ideas will be presented and discussed for getting involved in actions to help create positive change in the community and around the world. The recent showing of the environmental documentary Revolution, which was brought to over 700 students by the library in partnership with the Regent Theatre, sparked this initiative. Moving to adult events, on Thursday, June 20 at 7p.m. at the Wellington branch library, Ann McLurg will be reading from her first novel, No Angel, published by Pedlar Press. Set in South Bay in Prince Edward County, it is the story of the author’s purchase and renovation of an old house and her special relationship with a helpful neighbour. On Saturday, June 22 from 1p.m. to 4 p.m., youth is the focus again as the library brings professional actor and workshop wizard Rick Zimmerman to

Council seeks staff report on Lakeside Drive traffic usage Proposed change to one-way designation now on hold Chad Ibbotson
Staff writer
Lakeside Drive, and a narrow 600-metre one-way section, has been a contentious issue with residents in the area since 2008 when the speed was reduced and the small section changed to a one-way road. While council voted in favour of increasing the speed limit on Lakeside Drive to 60 km/h from 40 km/h from County Rd. 33 to Carnrike Road, councillors elected to get more information before deciding on whether to make any changes to the one-way designation. The decision to refer the report was followed by a groan of displeasure from many of the residents in attendance. Councillor Jamie Forrester made the motion to refer the issue to staff for a report. Forrester said he wanted to report to look into GPS mapping systems and whether they direct people to travel the wrong way down the one-way section of Lakeside Drive. The report will also look into the cost of widening the surface and redesignating Lakeside Drive a two-way road. “It's really important that we find out what the GPS settings are on this road,” he said. “We have to make sure they're accurate because this is just going to get worse.” Forrester said if the majority of GPS devices show that section as a one-way road he
would elect to leave it alone. If it's still a two-way on many GPS maps it should be changed back, he said Staff had recommended on May 30 that the section be left as one way. Engineering, development, and works commissioner Robert McAuley cautioned that it could be difficult to get any answers out of GPS manufacturers. He said the County still hasn't received any response to calls made three years ago to correct mapping information. McAuley also noted early in Tuesday's discussion that signage trumps GPS directions. “The Highway Traffic Act does not recognize GPS, it does recognize the posted signs,” he said at the meeting. “The report would say something along the line of 'a GPS is a tool to assist, it's not the controlling factor in the way a driver reacts, he's guided by the signs in front of him.'” Councillor Dianne O'Brien was in favour of changing the one-way portion back to a two-way road. She reiterated comments made at the May 30 committee-of-the-whole meeting that the real danger lies in people travelling down the road in the wrong direction. “If we look at the Richie (Traffic Services) report of 2009 it speaks to the people travelling the wrong way down that street, that's where the danger lies,” she said. O'Brien said it is a very emotional topic that has created a lot of debate between neighbours, but she said before 2008 she doesn't believe there was ever a concern of danger. “There was no concern with safety, there was no
issue, there was never an accident,” she said. Councillor Terry Shortt said drivers don't expect to come across a one-way road in rural areas. “We're causing more problems by making this a one-way road. It was supposed to be a temporary thing to begin with,” he said. Shortt said instead of looking at whether to designate the road one way, councillors should be looking into widening the road so that it is the same width all the way along. He said the one-way should be removed. “At least when it's two way traffic, you expect to see someone coming the other way,” he said. Councillor Barry Turpin disagreed. He said when approaching the one-way section from the east, it's clearly marked with “Do not enter” signs. “It's well-marked. If people are coming on Lakeside (from the east) they can see those stop signs,” Turpin said. “… We can not — whether it's the speed limit, or the signs, or GPS — we can't legislate stupidity.” Councillor Kevin Gale noted the staff recommendation, which said to leave the section as one way. Gale responded to comments that the road is safe for two-way travel. “If the speed limit of a road is a certain amount, you shouldn't have to slow down at one point because the road is too narrow and it's not safe. The speed limit is set on a roadway to make it safe to travel for the entire length of that road — that's why we set speed limits,” he said. “Since committee of the whole I've had seven emails
in favour of the one way and no emails in support of the two way.” There was no shortage of opinions on all sides on Tuesday evening. Over 20 residents filed into Shire Hall to speak and listen to the discussion. It appeared there was nearly a 50/50 split between residents fighting to keep the one-way designation and those seeking to get rid of it. Beverley Marr was among those residents in favour of a two-way designation. Marr said she has met tourists coming the wrong way down the street following their GPS. She said while safety is supposed to be the major concern in making the road one way along that section, there isn't a history of accidents on the road. “An OPP officer I spoke to said that in the 15 years he had been with the Ameliasburgh section there had been no accidents in that Lakeside configuration,” she said. “That was in 2008. If there have been in the five years since then, obviously it's the fault of that one-way street.” Lakeside Drive resident David Calnan again reiterated his concern with safety. About 13 residents stood when Calnan asked who was in attendance to support the one-way designation. “The original reason for the creation of the one way was to increase public safety based on the narrowness of the road, the location of the culverts, the proximity of Bell poles and the poor intersection alignment at the west end with Carnrike Road,” Calnan said. The staff report is expected to come to a future committee-of-the-whole meeting.

Staff writer
From now on, visitors to the Barley Days Brewery won’t just be tickling their own taste buds when ordering up tastings of its many craft brews. Owner Chris Rogers said he and his staff were discussing what they should charge for tastings of their product, when they came up with the idea of asking for voluntary donations for their brew. “Instead of charging, we thought we’d ask for donations to local charities if they
wish,” said Rogers. Rogers said his staff thought they might be able to raise nearly $100 per month, but were surprised to see how well received the first installment of the promotion went. “We raised $650 months in the first month alone,” he said. That money will go to the Prince Edward OPP to support the DARE program for Grade 6 students in local schools. “We’ve wrapped up this school year, so we’re looking forward to 2013-2014,” said OPP community services officer Anthony Mann
‘The money raised will help provide workbooks, graduation ceremonies, and culmination awards,” Mann added. He noted the program relies entirely on the donations of community members to operate. Rogers said Alternatives For Woman is this month’s charity and the brewery will be looking for proposals from other worthwhile organizations to consider their causes in future months. He said the staff is pleased to know they’ll be able to help 12 causes each year with patrons’ help.

Koutroulides earns Great Place Award for her contributions to PECI Teacher offers same energy and enthusiasm as she did as student Jason Parks

For the second time in two years, a staff member at Prince Edward Collegiate Institute has been recognized with a “Great Place to Learn” award.

history teacher at the secondary school she attended in the late 1990s, Koutroulides was nominated for the award by colleagues Etmanski and Heather Munroe. In addition to her usual classroom activities and leading PECI's venture/enrichment program, Koutroulides has been the lead organizer in the school wide effort to support Sarah Reddick and her family. Reddick is a PECI student diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia and is currently awaiting a life-saving bone marrow transplant. Through efforts spearheaded by Koutroulides, the school has played host to events like the OneMatch Bone Marrow swab drive and the OPP's Pedal for Hope fundraiser for pediatric cancer. In addition to awareness, students under Koutroulides

place as a teacher,” McFarlane said. “Her work has been exemplary both as a teacher in the classroom as well as her efforts to support Sarah Reddick and her family.” He added Koutroulides' success at getting students to buy into being communityminded individuals have helped propel the efforts to support a fellow student battling cancer to great heights. For her part, the award winner was caught totally off guard at Wednesday's presentation and felt ambushed. But in a good way. “It's amazing that (Munroe and Etmanski) put my name forward but the fact is half the stuff I've undertaken this year (OneMatch, Pedal for Hope) I couldn't have completed without them,” Koutroulides said. She added it's been easy to find the strength and energy to forge ahead on initiatives simply because of the special bond she shares with PECI having been both a student and a staff member. “There's a special bond and I think all of the staff that went here as students feel it,” she said. “PECI's a special place where special things can happen and we want to see it remain that way.” Koutroulides and her fellow Great Places award winners will be recognized formally at the June 17 HPEDSB meeting at the Education Centre in Belleville.

guidance have raised over $7,000 for the Reddick family who face the daunting task of taking Sarah to cancer treatments in Kingston, often for extended periods of time. “We were very excited when we learned she had won the award, she is very deserving of it,” Munroe said. “She always works hard but this year she especially went above and beyond with all the stuff she's organized for Sarah this year.” A former award winner, Etmanski called Koutroulides' work at the school this year 'phenomenal.' “I wish they had 20 awards to give out because there are 20 deserving staff members in this school but Greer was amazing in all the things she has accomplished this year and completely deserves this award. We are really fortunate to have the compliment of young motivated people like Greer working here,” Etmanski added. PECI principal Darren McFarlane said he had the privilege of knowing Koutroulides both as a student when he was an educational staff member at PECI and as a fellow HPEDSB employee. “What strikes me about Greer is that she invests the same amount of energy and enthusiasm both as a student and as a staff member. She is a county girl and has her county pride but it's neat to see how she brings her Panther pride back to the work-

The Wellington Rescue Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary continues to face steady bills in order to keep its boat on the water servicing emergency calls across the county's shoreline. After spending $3,500 last winter to replace the 24-foot Limestone vessel's lower unit, Wellington Rescue is working to improve its communications capacity this year as it is looking to purchase a new radio communications unit at a cost of about $4,000. "The next big need is a communications system on the boat," said unit director Scott Johnston. "Once you get up to any decent speed, the radio operator can't hear the radio and the crew members can't hear each other talking." Johnston says the system, which is available for purchase in the United States, ties in the vessel's radio with an intercom system, allowing all the crew members better means to talk with one another onboard as well as their dispatchers during a rescue call. "It's like a system they use for a car-racing team to link the driver and all the

pit crew members over the road of engines," Johnston described. He said the crew noticed their cohorts from Brighton had a similar system on their boat during joint search and rescue training exercises off Waupoos last year and found it quite helpful. Thus far, Wellington Rescue has not responded to any calls for service in 2013, though the crew had already been through four hours of training before heading out for a schedule session Monday night with Brighton to work on search patterns off Nicholson Island. Johnston said that exercise would help the crew from the two boats to co-ordinate their efforts so that
their search patterns weren't about to intersect, costing valuable time to find survivors. He said the boats would go onto the water armed with a realistic scenario in hopes they would have the urgency to complete their tasks as they would in a crisis situation. "We set it up with as much realism as possible," Johnston added. This year, the crew has added two eager new members following training last fall and it expects to have another membership drive late in the year. In addition to the new radio equipment, the volunteer organization is also responsible for the majority of its general maintenance, fuel, and training costs, while it does receive some

produce further flowers on that stem. At this point the only possibility is to wait for the plant to produce a new flowering stem. Another problem raised was a problem discussed in this column last year. The concern was that the cones of echinacea (cone flowers) had blackened at the end of the summer. The Master Gardener responding to this question suggested that she carefully dispose of any plant remains from last year and watch the plant carefully for signs of this same problem this year. There was a pest problem in southern Ontario last year that did affect echinacea and also rudbeckia (black eyed susans). This caused blackening of the cone or disk. The pest
problem was caused by two different moths, each with different coloured worms in the cone or disk. Drought can also cause blackening of the echinacea cones as it did in the county last fall. A copy of last year’s article on this topic can be obtained by making an email request using the address at the end of this article. Another gardener raised the question of what to do with her masses of healthy daffodil foliage now the flowering season is over. They are preventing the growth of her other perennials. They appeared to be choking themselves as well, as there were far fewer blooms this year. Information on tulips and daffodils certainly suggests that leaving flowering bulbs’ foliage until the leaves die back, feeds the bulb for next year’s extravaganza. If they must be moved, bulbs and roots can be carefully hilled into unused earth elsewhere and left there until the leave die back. The bulbs can then

be stored and replanted in the fall. This gardener had decided that she had no room for more daffodils anywhere in her garden. She was prepared to keep small patches but otherwise wanted more space for her other perennials. Her daffodils had been spreading and now consumed most of the flowerbed. She was not inter-

ested in trying to plant any of the remainder under her deciduous trees, where they might bloom in the spring sunshine due to the smallness of leaves on the trees. They could remain there as the leaves die back and then the grass could be cut or weed whacked. The friend with her was interested in trying this. She offered to take some of the bulbs but wanted help from the original gardener in planting them. Finally, someone else had concerns about an indoor woody plant that was now outgrowing the space available. No one was able to find out what the plant was so only general suggestions can be offered. Given that this is an indoor plant, timing is not likely to be an issue, unless it blooms at a certain set period or periods. Things to be taken into consideration are the long-term desired shape and the desired size. Pruning cuts should always be made just beyond an outside node — a node is a place where a leaf or a branch is attached. The cut will heal well in that location. Any new growth will initiate from this area, which is why a node on the outside of a branch or stem is best. The most difficult question was what to do with an overly enthusiastic weed whacker who frequently removed prize plants, as there is generally a least one per family. The questioner was able to supply the best reply, which was to shrug her shoulders and let it go. The Master Gardener was unable to improve on this response!

Redtail owners operate winery off-grid using solar and geothermal energy
Pauline Joicey and Gilbert Provost were always passionate about wine and dreamt one day of turning that passion into something greater; owning a vineyard and a winery. They began their journey in 2002 by purchasing 11 acres in the county, just south of the village of Consecon. Their dream had begun a few years earlier when they had rented a summer cottage in PEC and realized the potential for growing grapes. Redtail Vineyard opened May 9th, 2009 to the public and was Prince Edward County’s 14th winery. They are both retired from the federal civil service. Provost from airport management (Transport Canada) and Pauline, a Civil Engineer - several years with Transport Canada and later Parks Canada and Canadian Heritage in High Technology. Provost was born in Joicey, Quebec and lived in the Montreal suburbs. Pauline was born in England but spent her public school years in Trenton, when she became familiar with the Sandbanks. After they were married they lived in the Gatineau Hills north of Ottawa and during that time they vacationed in the county (isn’t that how most of us newcomers first came here?). Winemaker Provost was always partial to the wines of Burgundy and realized that the “terroir” of Prince Edward County is similar in nature to that of Burgundy with its lime stone bedrock and clay loam soil. Ideal for Pinot noir, Provost knew that he could make a Pinot Noir that would express the classic
Sippin’ in the county JOE HACHE
characteristics while at the same time, make a wine he could be proud of and call his own. Redtail Vineyard is a totally “green” operation. During the early planning stages for the winery they decided to go “off-grid” and use a combination of solar energy and geothermal. This gave them the opportunity to reduce their carbon footprint – Redtail Vineyard’s winery is able to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by over 55 kilograms per year. For full autonomy, their winery is powered by a custom-designed solar system with no connection to the hydro network. Once the decision to go solar was made, Ernie Margetson, their planner and engineer, adapted the plans for the building to include greater insulation (6” walls full of spray-foam insulation), and argon filled windows. The barrel vault is
heated and cooled by a geothermal temperature control (a system similar to those used 100 years ago for root cellars) and to keep their white wines cool, they use a restored ice box that dates from the early 1900s. Hot water for the winery is provided by an on-demand propane water heater and the heat portion of the furnace is also propane. The electrical requirements of these two appliances as well as all pumps, motors and lighting are satisfied by the solar system. In the vineyard, they grow their grapes using organic products only. This requires a large amount of hard handwork and the use of tools and equipment instead of systemic chemicals. They only use natural substances like the Bordeaux Mix (copper sulfate and hydrated lime) and sulfur as fungicide, home-made soap and nettle tea as pesticide. Weed control, for example, is done by hand. Their approach in the vineyard is traditional and very attentive to nature. To care for their grapes, harvest is done by hand only. The fruit is transported to the winery in closed bins for protection. Lots of people (including myself) have asked where they got the name for their winery. In the summer of 2003, during one of their many trips from Luskville to Consecon to inspect the construction of their new house, they saw a red-tailed hawk perched at the top of a telephone pole across the street from the future vineyard. The same hawk appeared on their
next two trips and they knew it was a sign to name the winery Redtail. And believe it or not the hawk appeared again on the day they celebrated their first planting. Provost and Joicey really enjoy what they are doing and now realize it is a lot of work but it has turned into a real labour of love. They admit they are in their infancy, but say their feet are firmly planted, and they are sure to grow. They invite everyone to come and share in their journey.

New interlocking OJHL schedule could mean higher travel bills for Dukes JASONâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;PARKS
Staff writer
The Wellington Dukes will be shuffling off to Buffalo this season as well as other points in Western Ontario. The Ontario Junior Hockey League announced this weekend after the group's annual general meeting the approval of a new 53-game schedule that will bring inter conference play back to the Tier II circuit. As such, clubs will now play a home and home se-
ries against the other conference as well as a home and home series against teams in adjoining division. For example, Wellington will play a home and home series with teams like the Buffalo Junior Sabres, Hamilton Red Wings and Milton Icehawks in the Southwestern Conference as well as home and home series against Northern Division squads such as Aurora, Newmarket and Lindsay. All other games would be inter division match ups against common foes like
Kingston, Trenton and Cobourg. Last season featured balanced inter conference play where the Dukes matched up with Newmarket and Aurora as much as they did with the Golden Hawks and Vees. The extra travel costs will undoubtedly hurt the club's bottom line however general manager and head coach Marty Abrams was unavailable for comment. Also coming out of the AGM was a plan that might lead to the end of the
shootout as a method of deciding an extra point. A pilot project to be tested during the 2013-14 pre-season will see the OJHL eliminate the use of a shootout following the fouron-four, five minute, sudden death overtime. Instead, following the initial overtime period, the teams will play another five minute threeon-three overtime session. Upon completion of the preseason, further discussions will be held regarding the direction of the initiative and potential use in future

Garden show flower contest attracts bright blooms Entries span 60 of 75 categories in horticulture and in design AdAm BrAmBurger
Staff writer
A rainy Saturday co-operated with the County Garden Show as the Crystal Palace was packed with people enjoying tea, buying plants for their own gardens, and looking at arrangements. "It's a full house, this is probably the beset turnout we've had in years," said Prince Edward County Horticultural Society flower show convener Walter McGee. "You can't get out without getting wet, but you can enjoy yourselves in here." McGee also noted that save for the lack of available roses this spring, the weather also co-operated nicely for the flower show itself as there was a healthy number of entries brought into the building to be judged within the first hour of the doors being open. "We usually have a lot of roses, but they're late this year," he said. "We have a great show of peonies and irises. Of the 75 categories this year, we've got entries in at least 60." A nice trend among those entries this year was the higher number of youth entries, which McGee said spiked due to the participation of 23 4-H members who took part in a horticulture club in Sopiasburgh. They had four growing competition — fruit or vegetable, best flower, potted plant from seed, and and best drawing of fruit as well as three arrangement competitions, one photography entry, and one of a drawing of their dream garden. The show was divided into two categories — horticultural and design — with McGee and his fellow judges looking for the most impressive growth in each category of the horticulture exhibit, following by directions. In the design competition, they

arrangement that entitled her to win a best-in-show ribbon in the design category of the County Garden Show flower competition Saturday. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)
were looking for a range of creativity in arrangement as well as the plants used. The theme this year was provincial flowers. McGee noted in many cases, entrants weren't asked to find the official article — for example, Newfoundland's pitcher plant grows in marshes and isn't suitable for arranging — but instead asked to create something that conforms to a theme based on those plants. For Newfoundland, the arrangement had to come in a cream or milk pitcher. Or for Ontario, instead of pulling up the protected trillium plants, entries were to include an arrangement of three blooms. Judith Young claimed best in show in the design category for her take on Quebec,
which was to be a large arrangement of irises. Turns out, it wasn't Young's favourite of the nearly 25 entries she took to the show this year, but she wasn't about to downplay the award. "I wasn't as happy with it as some of my other ones, but it's up to the judges what they like," she said. Young indicated she's been taking part in the flower show for about 15 years ago and she has found it a labour of love to keep entering her flowers in the event. "I find it really fun, challenging, and exciting," she said. "I love flowers and I love the sense of competition that it provides." Young says she spends time reading up on the latest secrets for arranging and
growing and she also tries to take pictures of winning entries to emulate what others have done to succeed. She offered a few secrets for success. One, she said, is to hope the necessary flowers are blooming, the weather is co-operating, and they're in plentiful supply in the garden. Another, she said, is to make sure to read the rules before submitting entries. "They'll give you the sizes and guidelines," she said. "Of course, some judges look at things a little differently and some will be more lenient than others." Young said she can spend weeks preparing her entries for a flower show, yet come the day before the show, she's putting in several hours of steady work to finish them off. "It's a lot of work, but a lot of fun." It appears that's a sentiment that is shared by her 10year-old son Nicholas, who also entered all of the categories that he could Saturday. It seems he also likes the competition and creativity. "He enters all he can too," said Young. "We just love gardening together." Plenty of expertise was also on hand at the show for those who wanted it outside of the auspices of the flower show. The Prince Edward County Master Gardeners were on hand throughout the day to answer questions, while guest speaker Paul Zammit, the director of the Toronto Botanical Garden gave information about container gardening at 2 p.m. That night, the show ended with the flourish many were looking for as a host of local musicians offered a benefit from the Prince Edward County Green Trust and its beautification efforts. The concert, which also featured a silent auction,included the rising stars from the St. Gregory talent show as well as the likes of local entertainers the Frere Bros, Jerry Foster, Amy Sedore, and Dave Bongard.

PECI recognizes top Panther athletes of 2012-2013 Gallo, Paradis earn honours as leading senior participants AdAm BrAmBurger
Staff writer
In a year where labour strife meant PECI couldn't offer its normal slate of athletic activities, the school turned to a group of athletes who still managed to be very busy for its yearend awards. Before a small, informal collection of athletes in the main gym, principal Darren McFarland acknowledged it was a very different year for Panthers sports, yet he paid tribute to all of the athletes who still managed to represent their school proudly. "You're all so very, very talented as each and every one of you brings so much to the court, the field, or wherever you play," he said. "The reports we heard back from other schools were about what outstanding students we have and what athletic prowess you

have shown." At the senior boys level, the athlete of the year award went to a player who was instrumental in bringing two Panthers squads to Bay of Quinte medals. During the fall season, Matt Gallo backstopped the Panthers to silver in soccer after playing goal for back-to-back COSSA champions the pre-
vious two seasons. He also took on a starring role with the gold-medal winning Panthers baseball team this spring, serving as a pitching ace and hitting out of the third spot, where he contributed some clutch RBI at key times during the season. "We know his leadership, his personality — he keeps things really loose at

all times, and most of all, for his desire," said baseball coach Matt Ronan while presenting the award. Early in a basketball season that was ultimately wiped away, Gallo also was developing into a strong low-court presence who could take away some of the scoring burden from the likes of Taylor Reddick and Morgan Johnson,

which would have been a big asset for the Panthers. While Melissa Paradis may not have enjoyed the presence the affable Gallo has in the spotlight, the senior female athlete of the year paid her dues and earned the respect of teammates and coaches alike while competing in five different sports for PECI this year.
"She's a quiet leader and she's very coachable. She does whatever you ask her to do and she doesn't question anything," said Paradis' basketball coach Rob Garden, who added the Grade 11 student was a very tenacious defensive player for his COSSA finalist last fall. Paradis also played soccer, badminton, and volleyball, while grabbing a pair of top-10 finishes in both Bay of Quinte and COSSA action as in long jump and triple jump. She indicated she felt honoured to be chosen for the award. "It feels pretty amazing," she said. "Just because there's so many other people that are also deserving of this, to have a chance to win it is really nice." Paradis said she enjoys being involved in sports to stay busy instead of being bored at home and she also uses her games and practices as a sort of stress relief from her classes. She said her team sports have become favourites over the years.

"It's like a great big family, you get to meet a lot of people," Paradis said. Returning next year, Paradis said she is hoping for big things from PECI athletics, while adding she is appreciative of those who have helped her to achieve thus far. The junior athletes of the year were also ones who have a number of different experiences under their belts. The leading junior female, Kassidie Wood, was involved with volleyball, badminton, and soccer this year and she also played hockey last season. The soft-spoken athlete says she enjoys participating to spend time with other people and she receives a lot of pride out of being a Panther. Wood, who enjoys volleyball the most as she doesn't play it outside of school, said her athletic highlight of the past year was winning a bronze medal at Bay of Quinte in badminton doubles with Blaine Swackhammer and competing at the COSSA tournament. Her male counterpart, Tye Eaton, is an athlete volleyball coach Andrew Holmes says always represents the school with class and sportsmanship Eaton started the year off with golf and also competed in volleyball, badminton, and tennis. Eaton said he liked the individual nature of golf, counting on himself to make big shots, but says he also enjoys the traditional team sports. His clue to succeeding in as many sporting events is to make sure his schooling gets done first, then focusing on the games. He indicated he really didn't expect the award and
Points Pack PECI students receiving more than 120 athletic involvement points are (clockwise from top left) Cailey Jones, Courtney Wilson, Matt Gallo, Morgan Johnson, Scott McQuaid,and Cole Norton. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff) hopes to continue his experiences next year. "I'd like to play more sports, maybe try more sports, and do my best in everything," he said. Rounding out the major winners as leading Grade 9s, Hailey VanRossum used her determination and energy to impress while playing basketball, soccer, and volleyball, while James Pero earned his award with a slate of golf, volleyball, basketball, and badminton. Among those presented major awards for their proficiency in single sports were Grade 11 student Kierstyn Bennett, who won the Joe Scott Trophy for her excellence in rugby — having now competed provincially and nationally in sevens — and Cole Norton, who won his second consecutive Jeremy Vincent Award for leadership in track and field. While Norton took second place in the province in the 200-metre dash and third place in the 100-metre dash, coach Suzanne White indicated she
were Emily Bass, Nathalie White, Holly Tait, and Brad O'Neil. Each individual sporting team was allowed to select any combination of two winners of most improved (MI), most valuable (MV), or most dedicated players (MD). The recipients are as follows... Junior boys soccer -Colton Sills (MV), Matthew Cairns (MD); senior boys soccer Matt Gallo (MV), Ryan Kerr (MI); junior boys volleyball -
Tye Eaton (MV), Gavin Ronan (MI), senior boys volleyball - Pat Macpherson (MV), Austin Walsh (MI), junior girls basketball Danielle WIllis (MV), Hailey Van Rossum (MI), senior girls basketball - Courtney Wilson (MV), Melissa Paradis (MD); golf - Tye Eaton (MV), Kyle Stacey (MD), junior badminton - Jared Hartley (MD), Blaine Swackhammer, Kassidie Wood (MV); senior badminton - Wesley Stakes (MD),
Melissa Paradis (MV); junior girls soccer - Brittany Payne (MI), Megan Foster (MV); senior girls soccer - Montana Lamb (MV), Amanda Ostrander (MV); junior boys rugby - Colton Sills (MV), Tyler Chatterton (MI), Johnathan Goode (MD); baseball - Josh Arnold (MD), Matt Gallo (MV); tennis Brett Abram (MV), Tye Eaton (MV), track and field - Lucas Clarke (MD0, Mallory Lindsay (MD).
was particularly pleased with the leadership the Grade 10 athlete showed toward his teammates and, in particular, those he rounded up to create a successful 4x100-metre relay team that broke the Bay of Quinte junior boys record. Athletic director Laurie Spencer also handed out two classes of special awards. The first one, the points award, was a series of plaques given out to students accumulating points for their participation in athletics at the school through teams and various levels of competition in their school careers. Six students reached the benchmark of 120 points this year, including Gallo, Norton, Johnson, Scott McQuaid, Cailey Jones, and with more than twice the necessary total, Courtney Wilson. The other special group, the Opie Award winners, were those who were counted on to make it easier for an athletics program to exist through their help with management and co-ordination.

DEVER- Ida Marguerite. Memories of our dear Aunt Mim, her birthday peacefully remembered.

Sometimes I sigh, And sometimes I smile But I keep each olden, golden while All to myself. Fondly remembered by her family. HOAG- In loving memory of a dear father, grandfather and great grandfather, Glen, who passed away June 19, 2011. What we would give if we could say Hello Dad in the same old way To hear your voice, see you smile, To sit with you and chat awhile So you who have a father Cherish him with care, For you'll never know the heartache Till you see his empty chair Always and forever in our hearts. Lovingly remembered by your loving family. HOOK. Robert W.T. Hook, October 26, 1916-April 2, 2010; Ruth P (Clapp) Hook, Sept 6, 1923-June 16, 2005; Linden R. Hook, June 17, 1942-March 20, 1948. Dedicated Father and Husband We often think of days gone by when we were all together, A shadow over our lives is cast, our loved ones gone forever. Dad, Mom and Brother, never forgotten. Dianne, Debra, Gloria. KELLAR, Lewis. In loving memory of a dear husband, father and grandfather, who passed away June 15, 2009. The sound of a milk wagon, The whistling of "It's a long way to Tipperary", We miss your smile, your joking ways, We miss the things you used to say, And when old times we do recall, It's then we miss you most of all. Always loved and remembered by wife Fran and family. KIMMERLY- Patricia. In loving memory of a dear wife. Fondly loved and deeply mourned Heart of my heart, I miss you so Often, my darling, my tears will flow Dimming your picture where'er I go Tis sad but true, I will abide Until some day we'll be side by side.

In loving memory of a dear wife and mother, who passed away June 14, 2006.

Harold, Pat, Ray, Tom & Laurie
Remembering Dad
Dad was a man of few words. He gave unconditionally, asking for nothing in return. He was not a man of confrontation. He would simply step aside or walk away and let life take its’ course.
As a father, he provided for his children and step children as best he could. Perhaps not always in the ways anticipated or expected, but he did it in the best way he knew how to.
A lover of nature and animals – he loved them with the same compassion as he loved his fellowman. Love was love for all creation. He took much to heart but voiced little about how life affected him. A man of great inner depth who spoke in silence. Dad possessed the innocence of a child in the body of a man.
A soft spoken gentle man, he wished ill harm to no one.
The world was his oyster – each day birthing a new pearl. Dad was a diamond in the rough, in need of no polishing.
We called him Dad. To others he was son, brother, Paw-Mic, Toad and Studley. Me, I called him Poppy. The flower that seeds and grows wherever it may fall. Travelling, bringing new life, to new places in new breeding grounds. A flower of beauty and fragility. Its delicate petals blowing with the wind. Short lived in their beauty, appearing briefly.
For as the petals wilt and fall away the pod goes to seed. Scattering anew to earth below new seeds of life to reseed. Rebirthing and once more complete in the cycle of growing, living and dying. Dad was a man of simplicity. Content with what he had, giving freely to those in need. Always enough to be shared.
Dad never planned too far ahead. The sun rose and the sun set. It took twenty-four hours to do so. Each day was the same old day, according to Dad – another day.
As the sun once more sets and rises to a new day, Dad, may it be filled with new beginnings as you journey on.
Blow freely with the winds, Dad. Scatter your seeds of love and simplicity beyond. There is no pre-determined direction to the blowing of the wind. It moves forward and never looks back. I called him Poppy. We knew him as Love. “We love you, Dad.” Me too, he says. A new world awaits – one of unknowing and infinity. You were a man of simple needs and wants. You were Dad.
For all those whose lives you touched in your eighty-eight years, we give thanks. We’ve had some good time together. Keep a good recollection of us as shall we you.
Howard McWilliam passed as he lived on May 23, 2013. Simply and peacefully. No greater gift than love was his.
MEMORIAMS
KIMMERLY- Patricia. In loving memory of a dear mother and grandmother. Oft we think of you, dear mother, And our hearts are filled with pain Oh, this earth would be heaven Could we hear your voice again.

October 26, 1929-June 15, 2012. In loving memory of a dear Mother, Grandmother, & Great Grandmother. It’s hard to believe you are no longer here with us. Gone are the days we used to share. We think of you, in some small way every day. We miss you more than words can say. But in our hearts, you’ll always be. Never forgotten. Your daughter Lynn, Son-in-Law William. Grandchildren Josh, Jamie, Steven, Tyra & Xavier.
MARSHALL- Doug. In loving memory of our father and grandfather (Pa) who left us June 18, 2002. Memory drifts to scenes long past, Time rolls on, But our memories last. Sunshine passes, shadows fall, Love and remembrance outlast all. May you continue to watch over us, and bless us everyday. You are sadly missed and will never be forgotten.

a memorial gathering will be held on
Thursday, June 27, 2013 at 2.00 p.m.
In loving memory of
Wm “Bill” Wanamaker
1929-June 18, 2012 A dear husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. One precious to our hearts is gone, The voice we loved is still, The place made vacant in our lives, Can never be refilled. We think of him in silence, We often speak his name, But all we have are memories, And his picture in a frame. To some he may forgotten be, To others a part of the past, But to us who love him and lost him, His memory will always last. Lovingly remembered by wife Barbara and sons Garry and Mark and their families.
DEATH
VANGESEN, Margaret Howe
Very suddenly at PECMH on June 5, 2013. Beloved mother of Bob Howe, Pamela Boucher (Vangesen) and Henry Vangesen. Cherished sister of Matt Howe and Moria Parker. Loving partner to Ronald Hineman, and former wife of David H. Vangesen. Marg had 7 grandchildren of whom she was very proud of and loved very much. She was blessed last August with a great grandson whom she adored! Marg was a very important person to so many people not only here but also in her winter home in Florida. She had a heart that was made for helping others whenever she could. She touched so many hearts. This is all so very sudden for all of us. She will be missed so very much.

Fundraiser draws participants of all ages who have somehow been affected by cancer
RELAY, from page 1
Nearly 200 PECI students were among the more than 700 people going around the track, many moved by classmate Sarah Reddickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s courageous battle with leukemia. Though Reddick recently found a bone marrow donor match, her Sarahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ninjas were just one team demonstrating the immediacy of the battle and their hope for a cure. Amid a sea of familiar faces in costume like the Black Crick Chicks, Shire Hall Hobbits, and Allison Army that showed cancerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impact on youth was the strong turnout for Brendaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Beauties, walking in memory of Brenda TrippMcQuaid who lost her battle with lung cancer this February. Several young walkers turned out in tiaras and colourful feather boas in memory of the 34-yearold mother of two boys. Her family also stepped forward on Relay night as her grandfather Richard Kozmanuk, mother Terry Lee Davidson, sister Elisha MacDonald and nieces Destiny and Jayda MacDonald had their ponytails cut off
to make wigs for cancer survivors, prompting many others to join in spontaneously. Survivors also rallied their own teams. One such individual was Charlene Inch, who was diagnosed with breast and cervical cancer in 2008. The cancer had spread through her lymph nodes. She endured six months of chemotherapy and 16 rounds of radiation therapy. In front of her Inch by Inch team, she gave the survivorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s address to start the eveningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festivities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was scared, but I had so much support from my family, my faith in God, my friends, people who had been through it and people I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know who had become friends,â&#x20AC;? she said. Inch said the Canadian Cancer Society was instrumental in helping her with medications she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford and it continues to help survivors with prevention and support programs as well as funding crucial research. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want people to know what we are doing here makes a difference,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a four-year sur-

Inch said at the time of the relay, she was also trying to support someone else in her own life who was fighting the disease. She sounded the bell alongside Reddick to begin the nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s activities. Co-chair Tina Rutgers, who said she does relay to honour her own mother, said she was surprised by the exceptional success of
this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event, but noted the entire community made it happen because they want to make a difference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had an enthusiastic team that wants to make very year a better year and they put a lot of enthusiasm into it,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a great night. It was all very touching, especially the survivor lap, the luminaries, and the end lap. All that mud didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t suppress anybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enthusiasm here.â&#x20AC;?

PECIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s junior 4x100-metre relay team runs to 16th place finish with two midget runners
NORTON, from page 1
A packed Oshawa Civic Recreation Complex was the scene on Thursday when Norton blasted through the 100-metre event in 10.93, just two milliseconds behind silver medalist Aaron Hector of Father Henry Carr from Etobicoke. The race was won by Malik Ugwuala of Toronto Micheal Power with a time of 10.85. On Saturday, the stands were again packed for the 200-metre event in which Norton finished 0.07 seconds behind Hector who posted
the winning time of 22.72. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was crazy,â&#x20AC;? PECI track coach Suzanne White said of the atmosphere. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every time the races would start, everyone would stand up and you couldn't hardly see the runners. It was amazing to be there and watch it happen.â&#x20AC;? White said her main chore was to keep Norton focused and relaxed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He runs better when he's relaxed but inside, my stomach is in knots,â&#x20AC;? White said with a laugh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was intense.â&#x20AC;? Norton continued to dominate the field though to the low qualifiers and his
times got better and better leading up to the ultimate meet of the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was really smart this year. He wasn't wasting energy in the heats if he didn't have to and he was also great at overcoming some very tough conditions. Oshawa was cold but it didn't bother him,â&#x20AC;? White added. After the excitement had worn off somewhat, Norton was asked by the Gazette to put the 2013 track season into words. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's a been a great run, a great season,â&#x20AC;? Norton said Monday after the PECI athletic awards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Reaching the

of the OFSSA podium but did not leave him satiated heading into the next dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 200-metre dash. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew that I could get to the podium and I really wanted to get a different medal,â&#x20AC;? Norton said. The 200-metre final was a comedy of errors before it got underway for real. After the first takeoff, the false start gun went off about 100 m into the sprint as there was a timing issue. Delaying the event about 30 minutes, two more false starts must have jumbled the nerves of the runners. Finally, the race got off to

a clean start. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was in about fifth place part way through and I kept telling myself that I wasn't leaving here without another medal. I found another gear and started to make a push,â&#x20AC;? said Norton. Hector had just enough track to stave off the PECI Panther but a silver was in the local sprinter's grasp as he came across the finish line. Norton works with the vaunted Speed Academy and Olympic medalist Tony Jones in Ajax and said the training helps at large scale events like the OFSAA meet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I've gotten used to being around the fastest runners in my age group in Ontario and they aren't intimidating to me anymore,â&#x20AC;? Norton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I'm friends with them and nice to show up and be in the consideration for the titles.â&#x20AC;? Another key for Norton this weekend was the 4 x100metre relay team he anchors. On Thursday, the contingent took part in Day one of the OFSAA meet, posting a 46.15, good enough for 16th place in the province. Norton, Graysen St. Pierre, Lucas Clarke, Blaine Swackhammer and Josh Stecknicki all took part in the opening day of the meet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;OFSAA is quite a huge event and they got caught up in the celebration of it, especially (Clarke) and (Stechnicki) who are in Grade 9 and running a year ahead of their actual age category,â&#x20AC;? White said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They had eyes as wide as saucers but they kept it light and had a really good experience.â&#x20AC;? For Norton, taking part in the 4x100 relay didn't take away from his individual events but actually helped acclimate to the track and the pressures of a meet of monumental magnitude. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year at OFSAA I was a lone man. This year I came in with my team and we came early, had some fun, enjoyed the experience and that really calmed me and allowed me to get down to business,â&#x20AC;? Norton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was scared and alone in 2012 and if I don't have that team, I don't have the confidence or the willingness to do what I did so I really appreciate the support of Josh, Lucas, Blaine and Graysen throughout the

Heroesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; welcome The PECI Baseball Panthers
enjoyed a surprise greeting upon their return from OFSAA in Oshawa last Tuesday. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)
Unfortunately, the Panthers met their match, losing 11-1 to second-seed Notre Dame from Hamilton. Ronan said he is looking forward to returning next season given the Panthers are only losing five players from the 19 they put on the roster. Granted, those five will be tough to replace. Goddard and catcher Josh Arnold showed great heart and leadership, Scott McQuaid was a jack-of-all trades, Forrester showed his pitching prowess at OFSAA, and Jared Found was a go-to player as a pinch runner throughout his final season after missing the past two years for OFSAA soccer. "The five guys who will be leaving us showed a lot of character and they'll be tough to replace," said Ronan. "We kept a squad of 19, however, and we wanted it to be 1 through 19. We lost five but we still have 14 strong who experienced this tournament. We can only bat nine or 10, but we probably played 13-14 deep at certain points this year. Everybody contributed." The coach said even the five Grade 9 additions who served mainly a practice function on the team didn't pout about their role and many know they'll have the time to lead in the near future.
drew Dayton early, PECI gained its composure as Gavin Ronan pitched a shutout inning in the second and Ryan Forrester came up with five consecutive innings of shut down pitching on the mound. "He maybe got four innings all year and here he was pitching five innings of shutout ball against the top seed," said Ronan. It wasn't like they were putting in subs, they wanted to mercy us." The Panthers third game was a 4-3 win over Orchard Park from Stoney Creek. Ronan said the club had a real ace of a pitcher, but unlike earlier in the season, the Panthers didn't get too wideeyed when he delivered. They just battled away, put some hits together, and prevailed. That first day, first baseman George Goddard showed his worth, playing through tonsillitis to go threefor-seven with a pair of RBI and a few walks. His condition was so rough, he had to be admitted to hospital overnight. He showed up for the club's 8:30 a.m. game Thursday with his IV still in his arm, sporting a hospital bracelet and looking to make his first at-bat.

In some ways, the PECI Panthers had a tough go at the OFSAA East baseball tournament in Oshawa last week, but the learning experience was a worthwhile step for team development. Coach Matt Ronan said the Panthers managed to make some tournament officials take note while going 22 after a tough schedule that saw the eighth seed play four times in less than 24 hours, including a second-game matchup against gold-medal winning Sinclair. "We had a bottom seed because the Bay of Quinte region and COSSA hasn't been there as long and as a result, we had to play games at 9, 12, and 3 at two different fields and again the next day," said Ronan. "The conveners were watching our games closely, however. They saw the Panthers beat ninth-seed Robert Borden 4-2 in the opener, backed by strong pitching from both Bob Wilson and Kyle Gould, then take on Sinclair, a school of 2,600 students from the Whitby area on little rest last Monday. "Baseball is their sport. They don't play baseball in the summer and hockey in the winter. They're well coached and their coach is an associate scout with the Kansas City Royals," he said. "We had some shaky pitching and some suspect D in the first inning and we gave up eight runs, but after that was a 2-0 game. To shut them out like that was pretty significant." After the Celtics knocked around Panthers' starter An-

U-12 Eagles could grab sole possession of second place tonight Staff writer
After a pair of solid road wins, the PECSA Geodynamics Under-12 Eagles could soar into second place in the Southeastern Ontario Soccer Association. The young squad of freshmen rep soccer players shook off an opening night defeat three weeks ago to get past the Cataraqui Clippers on May 30 and the Quinte West Wolverines last week. Thanks to those victories, the Eagles (with a win by six goals or more) could grab sole possession of second place tonight when they face the Belleville Comets at the PECI soccer pitch starting at 6:30. Club skipper Andrew Houston said his club has been showing improvement in a number of areas including speaking to one another during game play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Communication is the key to everything and they've been excelling the last two games in their com-
munication skills, both defensively and offensively and that helps them in making the right decisions under certain time restraints,â&#x20AC;? Houston said. After a shaky start, the club has adapted nicely to the level of play in the SOSA circuit and Houston thinks some of his players are falling back on their experiences at the rink. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They've responded well to the rep level. About a third of the team play rep hockey so I think they are drawing from that but two-thirds have never played rep hockey before and there are certain ways to react in certain situations,â&#x20AC;? he added. Understanding roles and positioning on both sides of the ball have been attributes in the squadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two game winning streak. Midfielder Gabriel Goad showed a nice boot in the club's first win of the season, a 3-2 win over the Clippers at Woodbine Park north of Kingston May 30.

duties. Houston pointed to Cooper Rogers and Colby O'Hara who have been great in the Eagle backfield the last two games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are doing a great job controlling the play and getting the ball out of our zone 90 per cent of the time,â&#x20AC;? Houston said. After tonight's contest, the club will be on the road next Thursday when they travel to Portland for a 6:30 p.m. contest.
Goad booted home a pair of goals while Joey Monroe added a single. Keeper Keegan Makpah had a solid outing for the Eagles, making several nice stops. On June 6, the club shot out to a 4-0 lead through the first half and cruised to a 4-2 win over the Wolverines. Monroe had a pair of goals while Goad and Bruce Reynolds also found the range.

Getting organized by clearing out clutter Getting organized by clearing out clutter When it comes to getting organized, it can be very daunting to walk through each room in your home and look at project after project that needs attention. Instead of approaching getting organized as one enormous task, Phil Dorner, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association suggests breaking up the work into a series of mini-projects. “Mini-projects can be more manageable for busy homeowners and the satisfaction you feel when you complete these tasks can help motivate you to finish the job.” Here are Dorner’s top tricks to cutting clutter and getting your
home looking and feeling organized: • Tackle one mess (and one room) at a time: Prevent getting overwhelmed by attacking one room at a time. Dedicate a few hours each week to getting one room sorted and you’ll surprise yourself with how organized you feel after a few short weeks. • Box it up: Start three piles – store, toss and donate. Go through closets, cabinets and cupboards and start sorting. With the exception of seasonal items (that should be stored in airtight bins when not in use), if you haven’t touched an item in over three months, consider getting rid of it. • Buy organizers: For use within closets and cabinets. For exam-
ple, keep kitchen spices readily available with a spice shelf, or hang a shoe organizer behind a closet door to reduce clutter on closet and bedroom floors. • Organize entryway: Entryways are one of the most cluttered areas of the home due to lack of space, lots of stuff and traffic. Get shoes off the floor and onto a shoe rack or bin. Place a coat rack or hooks to hang outerwear and umbrellas. • Get ruthless: Limit clutter on tables, countertops and flat surfaces by designating spots for things like keys, mail, etc. Keep décor items simple and free of dust. Remember, less is more! • Designate drawers: Assign drawers in cabinets, desks and dressers for a specific purpose. For example, assign a desk
drawer as a “homework only” zone. For many busy parents, it can feel like you are constantly picking up after your kids. Counter this by getting kids in on the action. By teaching children how to be organized, they will learn to treat their belongings with respect. A good rule to institute with your kids is the “in-out rule.” For every new item, get your child to help decide on an old one to discard. “Not only does clearing out clutter help you get organized, but it’s one of the best ways to present your home in a good light. Homes that are cluttered look messy and extra stuff ends up collecting dust,

Now that you’ve bought your house with the intention of having a gainful tenant, or maybe you are thinking of converting your house to have an occupied unit, you need to prepare it for rental. If you are considering renovating or adding another room, the key is to plan carefully. You will want to follow the proper building code guidelines. As well as allowing you to think of the necessities of a possible tenant including separate bathroom and kitchen. Make sure the unit is attractive, so you can attract a high-quality tenant and increase the resale value of your home. Now that your home is ready to rent out, you need to find some tenants. Families tend to be quite stable, although you can expect more wear and tear. A single tenant will be more quiet, but you may take the chance that they will give notice sooner as in example a new job comes up or relocation. Working couples are stable tenants, but may be more demanding about renovations and updates. If you are considering renting to a group or unrelated tenants, there are more chances of personal conflict amongst themselves, which could arise to spending a lot of time trying to fill vacancies. There is also more of a chance of vandalism and wild parties. Be sure to take some time and access your lifestyle and what type of tenant you want. It may have to do where the rental unit is as well. If you live in the city, close to post-secondary schools, your prospective tenant is likely a student. But if you live outside the city in the country, you will unlikely attract a student tenant. No matter who you choose, be sure to set some ground rules in advance regarding rent payment, utilities, pets, parking, garbage /recycling days, decorations and maintenance. You can find potential tenants by word of mouth, housing agencies, social media, posting notices on bulletin boards at neighborhood or-
ganizations, or advertising in your local newspapers classifieds. Make sure you screen any interested parties over the phone; you are looking for tenants with steady employment, and have a reputation for being good tenants. Don’t discriminate on the basis of religion, race, or marital status. Look out for tenants who want to move in immediately (they may have been evicted); and those who argue about rent and security deposit. If you plan to live in the house as well, you should have a good feeling that you are compatible with them. You have the same values and ideas of the household in terms of energy consciousness, and equally concerned about burglaries, cleanliness and maintenance. Being a landlord has its ups and downs, be sure to be prepared for it, such as handling repairs, tenants who vacate the house without notice, and other tenant-owner conflicts. If you plan to live in the house, you will have to adjust to additional noises and somewhat less privacy, such as sharing the backyard. Perhaps you are considering purchasing a single family home with an existing tenant, you should find out in advance whether the present tenant is going to stay. If the tenant is planning to move out, consider how much repairing you will have to do. Most tenants don’t treat a rental unit as their own house and it may be months before you find a new tenant. Having a tenant in your home is an excellent way to source funds for your mortgage payments. Make sure when seeking possible tenants, to check their references thoroughly. Take your time to find the right tenant for your home to minimize your worries and maximize your profits.

— Horoscopes—
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 This is a good time to overhaul your approach to fitness, Aries. If you have been thinking about scheduling a physical or getting a gym membership, do so this week. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, you may have a difficult time taking sides when friends ask for your help in settling a dispute. Let your friends know you prefer to stay out of the squabble. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you are in need of some down time, so plan a weekend jaunt or a brief vacation to relax and recharge your batteries this week. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 It would normally be quite an effort to pull the wool over your eyes, Cancer. However, in the next few days you will be so distracted with other things that fooling you is possible. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, take a few days to act foolish, throw caution to the wind and have a good time. If you don't, there may not be another such opportunity anytime soon. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, the only way to get through a bumpy week is to keep your head down and your focus intense. Concentrate on the tasks at hand, and the week will be over before you know it.
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, sometimes practicality gets in the way of your imagination. Though this can sometimes be stifling, you have to find a balance between whimsy and reality. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 No one can put your plan into action better than you, Scorpio. Stop making excuses and really get started this week. Don't expect immediate results. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you may not feel that something you did is funny, but others are bowled over with laughter. Play along so you don't come across as a spoil sport. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Expect your schedule to become quite hectic in the next few days, Capricorn. You may want to tie up any loose ends now and use any free time to rest. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, a burst of energy has you flying through all of those little projects that you have been putting off. Once you are done, you may have to create a new list. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, though you feel like you have just been going through the motions, others are far more impressed than you think.
