Eight months into the operation of its residential palliative care facility on Downes Avenue, Hospice Prince Edward is celebrating a number of successes associated with the project. On Wednesday, the organization held a public celebration event at Picton Town Hall to share with the community some of the results of many hours of fundraising planning and investment. "We've had an outpouring of notes, cards, and letters from families expressing their gratitude," said executive director Nancy Parks. "Even though those messages are directed at us, they're really directed at you, the members of the community who supported this project with your time, donations, expertise commitment, belief, and faith." Over the past eight months, the residential hospice centre has welcomed 26 individuals and their families through its doors. Some 24 of those people complet-

ed their end-of-life journey at the home one person was transferred to long-term care and another was in the home as of Wednesday night. There were 15 females and 11 males staying an average of 9.65 days each, with ages ranging from people who hadn't yet reached 60 years of age to one person older than 90. Parks said staff were able to see the value of their care through the impact the facility has had on the individuals and their families and she added there has been every range of emotion displayed from the tears of relief and sadness one might expect to some celebratory moments as well. "It's the laughter, the quiet conversations, the reflections of a life lived a wedding, a baptism, a birthday party — triple-layered chocolate cake, nine-inch round with fudge icing, pink flowers and champagne on the side, thank you very much. That was a very good day in the hospice." She added some people coming through the doors

added that has been a really rewarding part of the experience. " I think that for me one of the things I really noticed and took to heart was we were doing this for the resident, the person coming at end of life, but I think it has been so rewarding to see how entire families have benefitted from our space and the T.L.C. that can happen there," she said. "It's a privilege for them to share the journey with a loved one. It has been really heartwarming and a great opportunity to watch that." Campbell said she has also found it really interesting to see the facility with more than one family at time and see how families who have been with a loved one for some time help and support new ones coming in. Parks also added that the hospice is meeting its expectations as a pilot project for the South East Local Health Integration Network (SE LHIN) area.

County decides not to join coalition working on noise bylaw just yet Amendment allows municipality to take wait-and-see approach to wind turbine regulation Staff writer

Prince Edward County will not be joining with municipalities looking to craft a blanket noise control bylaw that would regulate industrial wind installations — at least, not at this time. North Marysburgh councillor Robert Quaiff amended a staff recommendation before committee of the whole last Thursday that called for council to decline the invitation to join the coalition to create a noise nuisance bylaw by adding the words "at this time." The executive summary of the report prepared for the committee by community development co-ordinator Todd Davis suggests that staff was recommending a wait-and-see approach about the development of any type of noise regulatory bylaw. In particular, staff didn't favour joining the coalition.

"Staff reviewed the concept and after careful consideration of the costs and enforceability, has recommended against accepting the invitation to join this coalition. Currently, there are too many unknown factors and a potential exposure to additional costs and liability." The report questioned the up-front cost, which it pegged at $30,000 to join the coalition, and noted the membership of the coalition has grown to just six members. It also noted that given the ballooning legal costs associated with the Ostrander Point appeal, that its estimate of between $280,000 to $300,000 in legal costs may be underestimated. It also questioned the possibility of turbine companies simply paying fines to get around the bylaw. Quaiff said he wished to speak to those issues in opening up the possibility of joining the coalition.

First, he noted that while coalition spokesman Warren Howard mentioned an investment of $30,000, he left the amount open for council to decide. Quaiff said an investment of $10,000 would be closer in proportion to Kincardine, where there is a large number of turbines being installed. He also noted that while Warren asked for a support for a financial pledge, the County could decline to adopt the bylaw. With respect to the fines, Quaiff said his sense was that the fines would be set at hundreds of thousands per incident if companies didn't respond to lower sets of fine and make it unlikely that there would be an ongoing need for enforcement. Ultimately, Quaiff said council's first step is to decide if it wants such a motion in place, then it can decide whether the coalition would be the appropriate means to bring it forward. "If we do (want a bylaw) a coalition would be a way to go, but after the preliminaries are done. That's why I did this with three simple words to keep the door open," he said. Barb Proctor, whose South

DAN CLAXTON ELECTRIC LTD

Marysburgh ward is the proposed site for the nine-turbine Ostrander project and the 29-turbine White Pines project, said the wait-and-see approach isn't very comforting to her constituents at this time. Coalition or not, she said council should push the issue. "The fact remains, possibly by the end of the year, the residents of South Marysburgh could have industrial wind operations integrated into their community," she said. "My question is in the meantime, should council be looking at some sort of bylaw or regulation for industrial noise. We have a bylaw that addresses community noise, but we have nothing that addresses industrial noise." For that reason, Ameliasburgh's Dianne O'Brien questioned whether it would be more useful for the County to step into the coalition immediately and be on the leading edge of the discussion. "I think the more people who are in this coalition, the less it is going to cost," she said. "I think we should get out in front of this. The turbines are going to be here and we have no policies in place and no control at all." Other members of council, however, questioned the methodology used by the coalition. Wellington rep Jim Dunlop noted that it hasn't grown very much for all the

municipalities that have been approached. "I don't know if others are sitting on the fence," he said. "After six months, only three more municipalities have joined on. I don't know if they did their homework." Mayor Peter Mertens shared that concern and said it troubles him why those looking to start the bylaw didn't start with the 83-member coalition, which backed a motion from Wainfleet Township to be declared unwilling hosts. He worried too many different groups were moving in different directions. "Wouldn't that have been the shorter option, to go to the group that already has 83 municipalities, rather than start a new one with four or five?" asked Mertens. Bev Campbell and Terry Shortt said it was appropriate not to move forward at this time as council doesn't know

the potential liabilities that might be in the offing. "We're opening ourselves up to unknown liability. It seems open ended," said Campbell. "There are lots of costs to developing it and we'd be a party to that. We have no clue in the world how much that is going to be. We don't know nearly enough about it to move forward at this time." Shortt stated he was leery about the intentions of the bylaw and liability. "This is a bylaw that is going to interfere with the operations of an industry that is quite likely going to be in place. What are the downsides of that bylaw? Is there a financial liability in trying to obstruct that industry from operating?" Quaiff said those liability unknowns would be reasons to support the coalition as no municipality would go forward with the bylaw until there is $300,000 in a fund to defend it. He noted, however, he'd also be more comfortable with the support of more unwilling hosts before going forward. Ultimately, committee of the whole voted unanimously to accept Quaiff's amendment to wait-and-see on the coalition. Meanwhile, Proctor said she finds it "very hard not to be frustrated" with the situation and with the potential disturbance for residents in South Marysburgh. "If noise does occur in our communities as a result of these regulations, how do we deal with it? I don't know," she said, adding the Ministry of Environment has published regulations that may apply. Still, she suggested a proactive approach may be more comforting. "What we need to do is keep the door open to the coalition approach, but maybe we should be looking at our own bylaw to see if there's a way to regulate that noise that seems it will be inevitable."

Committee-of-the-whole times to remain unchanged Bev Campbell’s bid to schedule night meetings to educate potential councillors denied adam bramburger Staff WritEr

Prince Edward County councillors will be following their current schedule for the rest of this term, despite a motion from Bev Campbell to change the committee-of-the-whole meeting time. By a 10-4 vote, councillors rejected a motion put forward by the Picton councillor Thursday that would have seen the last 10 committee-of-the-whole sessions of the term pushed back to a 7 p.m. start time as part pilot project that the newly elected council could evaluate early in their term. The Picton councillor reasoned that while attending workshops for people thinking about running for council or wanting to learn about municipal governance, she learned that some saw the current 1 p.m. meeting time as a barrier to gaining the information they were seeking. "Committee of the whole is where council conducts most of its discussion and debate around issues, it's the meat of what we do," Campbell said. "Many are unable to attend and learn what is going on because it falls right in he middle of the work day." She felt the change would help people become more educated about a municipal politician's job. A majority of councillors speaking to her motion spoke against, with their concerns ranging from the impact the change would have on staff, to the impact it would have on council-

lors' schedules now, to giving people a false impression of the time commitments involved in service. Ameliasburgh's Nick Nowitski was one of the candidates leading the charge against. He noted that early in the term, when some councillors who work asked about night meetings, they were told the 1p.m. time was better as it allowed for longer meetings and more discussion. With that in mind, they adjusted their own schedules to make it work. "We arranged our schedules and arranged our lives to do this because we knew this is how council ran. If you're not willing to change somewhat, I feel you're not a good candidate to be a councillor. We have to be flexible," Nowitski argued. He added he was taken aback by the notion the issue would even come up without someone asking those councillors who are full-time workers their opinion on how they are coping. Janice Maynard, also of Ameliasburgh, said she feels the present schedule is more conducive to a family life with councillors able to spend nights with their children and get proper rest. She added that nighttime driving, particularly in winter months, is not appealing. "Later in the evening, people are not as mentally sharp, especially in the winter. That trip across County Rd. 1 can be harrowing at least. The plows are off the road, making a

half-hour drive into an hour's drive or more. You don't get a good night's sleep." Maynard argued instead of night meetings, perhaps council should be speeding up its effort to provide live streaming of meetings online and it should also consider meetings in different locations. She also brought up the difficulty of piling onto an already heavy burden for staff, many of whom might have to take on overtime or schedule time in lieu to attend another evening meeting. Sophiasburgh's Terry Shortt agreed. "There's a cost for having staff there. One is the actual dollar cost and the other is that staff have to come at night and stay until 10 or 11. The next day they aren't as sharp as they should be because they've already attended that late at night. It's unfair to put that burden on staff." Councillor Kevin Gale said he did the pros and cons when hearing Campbell's motion, but ultimately felt there were more cons. He didn't said he felt it may be "sending the wrong message to potential members of council," noting that the job is a 24-houra-day commitment. Gale said he thought the current times allowed people some variety to come when they need to attend and said with three newspapers, County Live, and coffee shops, word gets around quickly about what council is doing.

Municipality to buy two new fire trucks $505,400 winning tender to go before council May 13 Chad Ibbotson

Staff WritEr

It looks like a pair of new vehicles will join the County's fire fleet within the next year. Councillors recommended council approve a contract to supply and deliver the trucks at last week's committee-of-thewhole meeting. The motion will go to council on May 13. Funding for one new pumper/tanker and one tanker was included in the 2014 fire department capital budget. The trucks will replace one 26-year-old pumper in Ameliasburgh and one 25-year-old tanker for South Marysburgh. Dependable Emergency Vehicles of Brampton was

selected to supply and deliver the vehicles with costs totalling $505,400. The company was selected out of six qualifying request for proposal submissions. The fire department reviewed each of the six submissions while evaluating each of their cost, design, warranty, service, and delivery. “Dependable Emergency Vehicles received the highest score for their submission,” a report submitted to the committee meeting says. The report says the department has purchased from Dependable Emergency Vehicles previously, and the company was found to be reliable and provided exceptional service. “Other considerations factored into the recommendation to proceed with Dependable Emergency

Vehicles is that by standardizing the vehicles within the Fire Department, we are able to realize better cost savings for routine maintenance inventory as all vehicles will use the same parts,” the report says. “As of this date, the fire department has four other vehicles purchased from Dependable Emergency Vehicles.” It is estimated the vehicles could be delivered 270–300 days from the date of the purchase order. The price of the Dependable Emergency Vehicles submission is $5,400 over the $500,000 budget, however, the report says the apparatus replaced by the two new vehicles can be sold once the new vehicles are in service and could be worth up to $10,000. The report also notes that there was a $600,000 contribution to the vehicle reserve fund again this year.

Gale turned to those who have decided to run this fall. "Look at the board downstairs. I don't think I've seen an election year with as many on the board in March and April. It's typically late summer or early fall," he said. "I think the system is working and I don't want to send any false messages." Heather Campbell joined with Bev Campbell, Mayor Peter Mertens, and Jim Dunlop in supporting the motion. She called the bid a basic promotion of democracy. "The purpose is to promote public education and public opportunity. I just can't help but support that," she said.

The Picton Gazette THURSDAY, MAY 1, 2014

Looking back in the

Picton Gazette

90 years ago — 1924

n Charles Wallace and J.M. Jarvis were arrested in Toronto and brought to Picton to face fraud charges after selling stock in the fictional American Gas Improvement Company for $10 each. Some local residents invested heavily in the company, including George Ostrander, who invested $9,812. n Picton was selected as the host of a national conference for the Methodist Church. The town was selected because it was the 125th anniversary of the first Methodist conference, which was also held in Picton in 1799. The first Methodist church in the country also wasn’t far from Picton, located on the shore of Hay Bay. n C.A. Publow was elected as the new president of the Picton Board of Trade, which was entering its third year of operations. At its annual luncheon, the board’s members heard stories about the Salvation Army from guest spaker Col. Martin, a divisional commander. n A body washed ashore at Pt. Petre was identified as that of William Price, 18, who fell overboard from the Steamer City of Kingston a few miles offshore.

70 years ago — 1944

n Prince Edward County was moving along toward its pledge of $1.1 million for the Victory Loans campaign as residents had raised $421,100. Community leaders challenged residents to continue to donate in hopes that their contributions might pay for the full value of the locally supported frigate H.M.C.S. Hallowell, which was worth $1.4 million. nCounty soldiers Pte. Thomas Bellwood and Pte. Harry McKenzie gave their lives in action in Italy. McKenzie and his wife Olive had a three-week-old baby at the time of his death. n Though the fishery at Pt. Traverse was not as busy as it had been in recent years, fishermen reported some of the highest prices for whitefish in memory. The prices were as high as 60 cents per pound and were attributed to the Jewish high holiday.

60 years ago — 1954

nA new one-room school was to be built at Warings Corners at a cost of about $10,000 as the existing school was not able to house the number of students attending. The new school was to be made of brick veneer and interior gyproc and was said to be popular elsewhere in the province because it cost less to build than traditional construction. n Representatives from the Prince Edward Yacht Club discussed the rising costs of hosting the annual power boating regatta. Without public financial support, the event was in jeopardy.

20 years ago — 1994

n Despite being turned down by County council for a second consecutive year in its attempts to bring accessible transit to the county, the Prince Edward District Women’s Institute vowed to keep advocating for the implementation of the system before lower-tier municipal councils. n Rednersville Road contractor George Crowe was charged under the Criminal Code for common nuisance, a seldom cited offence, for burying 185 barrels of liquid industrial waste, believed taken from a Bowmanville factory in the 1970s.

Our dependence on technology

It seems difficult to imagine, that only 20 years ago, I refused to have anything to do with computers. Although our son and I played challenging games on his Vic-20, and later, a Commodore 64 (anybody remember Cosmic Cruncher?), the computer was an advance in technology that I found unnecessary, given that my Smith Corona electric typewriter did everything that I wanted. When asked by a former supervisor to input some data into the office’s one and only computer, I rebelled, but found myself pressing a few buttons on the machine one day at noon when the staff had left for lunch. Next thing I knew I had pulled up a chair and the rest is pretty much history. Today, I have several computers and a website, perform routine maintenance and upgrades on both, and cannot imagine functioning day to day without a computer screen in my face. I do most of my business now in this manner, everything from purchases and bank transactions to ordering dehydrated chicken treats for the dog. More than 40 e-mails a day come in with nature related questions and requests for information and I am beginning to think that the only people I actually talk to are those who attend my guided hikes, and possibly the cashier at the supermarket! I read all the local newspapers online, before they even arrive in our mailbox. In my earlier years, there were some amusing incidents as I forged bravely ahead into cyber world. All of us, I am certain, have sent e-mail messages to the wrong person, by incor-

OUTDOOR RAMBLES

TERRY SPRAGUE rectly entering an e-mail address, and watching helplessly as the message sped off into cyberspace. Back when the Internet was in its infancy, I was with a service known as CompuServe. Its e-mail program was configured in such a way that only numbers appeared as the e-mail address, and unless the sender indicated their name, recipients were often at a loss to know from whom the letter came. One day I received one such e-mail from a person who signed herself, simply, as "Trish." In it, she apologized for her lack in communicating with me over the years and asked enthusiastically about the "kids." Not able to remember this person, I responded by saying that the kids were fine. Although our "kids" back then consisted of one son, a dog and a few goldfish, I thought her reply might give me some small clue as to who this mystery person might be. The exchange went on for several e-mails, when finally, I bluntly asked her to reveal her

identity, as my wife was starting to get a little suspicious of all these chatty e-mails from "Trish" Turns out she was a Sprague from Indiana and was trying to reach her brother, "Terry Sprague" in Virginia, had typed in his name in an e-mail Search, and came up with my address. We both had a good cyber laugh over that one, but further correspondence revealed that we might even be related. For the most part though, my computers, as well as the Internet, have been a positive experience, providing opportunities not available previously. It is through this instant access to people and places that the outdoor program I have operated for 19 years has enjoyed so much success and so much pleasure. It is a way to keep instantly connected and streamlines the opportunity to keep the programs operating and educate people on the fascinating world of natural history. On another memorable occasion, someone sent an email with an attached photo of a deer carcass, completely cleaned out except for the rib cage, and beside the eviscerated remains, a healthy pile of scats. The sender wanted to know what animal may have done this. I responded, by asking where he lived as this would help in determining what predators occurred in his area. When he replied that he lived in New Jersey, naturally I was somewhat curious as to how he got on track of me as someone who might have an answer for him. Using the popular "Google" Internet search

engine, he had typed in "animal dung" and the Search immediately flashed my name on his computer screen. High praise indeed! In an effort to redeem myself, all my columns I do for three different newspapers are carried on my website, and his search had simply responded to one I had done on animal scats. So, the Internet and e-mail can combine to be very educational as a research tool. Our dependence on the Internet has resulted in changes in our lifestyles. Some, like texting our way into automobile traffic, not so good, but most, very positive. Many, including ourselves, have cancelled our landline phone in favour of the more versatile cell phone since all communication is by e-mail now, and the phone seldom rings. The only numbers that appeared on our call display screen were from telemarketers anyway, and I was tired of paying a monthly fee for touch tone, a feature that has been standard on phones for almost 40 years. Even mail is becoming obsolete in favour of electronic delivery. The world is changing, becoming more streamlined and electronic. And we must change with it, if we are to stay on top of things. In a world that revolves around routers, NetFlix, Skype, iPods, iPhones and iPads, it is mandatory that we do, lest we get left behind.

Elaine Small to accompany Quinte Symphony in concert at Regent May 11

The soothing sounds of the Quinte Symphony and accompanying local chanteuse Elaine Small will be heard for the first time in Picton later this month. The Quinte Symphony is presenting 'Musical Memories for Mothers and Others' Sunday, May 11 at the Regent. The special Mother's Day concert marks the first time in the Symphony's five decade

history they will present a full concert outside of Belleville. Small, the former proprietor of Tara Hall in Wellington, said it's exciting to be a part of this effort to bring the Quinte region's resident orchestra outside the friendly city. “It's very exciting for me to preform in the County but this is an important step by the Quinte Symphony to branch

out and reach out into the Quinte community,” Small said. “They are hopeful to head north and east and west but that's only going to happen if it's supported.” Local jazz legend Brian Barlow, who produced Small's latest effort 'I'll be seeing you” has arranged vocal favourites including the title track, 'Almost Like Being in Love' and

'You Make Me Feel So Young'. Concert goers will also be treated to well-known selections such as Bizet's 'Carmen Suite, 'Debussy's 'A L'ApresMidi d'un Faune', andBrahms' 'Hungarian Dance #5' Tickets are available at Books & Company and the Regent box office. -Staff

NBA sends strong message about equality with ruling

AN owner in the world of professional sport committed a grave fragrant foul this week that would suggest the world hasn’t come as far as many would like in terms of inclusivity and acceptance. Despite the fact that he makes hefty profits off a mostly black basketball team in the National Basketball Association (NBA) that is heavily dominated by black players and even owns one of the teams in that league coached by a black coach, Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling chastised a girlfriend for appearing in public with basketball star Magic Johnson because of the colour of his skin. A wealthy southern business magnate who is also a former attorney and the longest tenured owner in his sport, Sterling has probably been used to living in a world where he can say and think whatever he wants without worrying about the consequences, however, this time the repercussions were quick and nearly immediate. Sterling’s players refused to don the logo of their own team, basketball legends refused to be in his building, and ultimately, the league’s commissioner Adam Silver did the only thing he could do in finding Sterling $2.5 million and suspending him for life from the league. The money certainly won’t break Sterling of his beliefs, his basketball team alone is valued at over $500 million, and it is unlikely that he won’t recoup his value out of the inevitable move to make him sell the franchise. It’s not the first time that Sterling has been accused of discrimination, either, as he was once sued for using race as a factor in rental agreements for housing he owned. Where this turn of events is bound to hurt Sterling, however, is in his legacy in the public eye and the value he brings in while still owning his team and having to put up with fans who outright refuse to watch a team owned by such a person. The reaction in the sporting world and the fact that almost all newscasts and sports shows were talking about Sterling in the midst of both the NBA and NHL playoffs this week, however, show that progress is being made to ensure that equality is being taken seriously and that people cannot just say whatever they feel like because they have the money to do so. Ultimately, in this age of mass media spread through Twitter, Facebook, and other entities, anyone can have an opinion. Previously this year, when college football player Michael Sam attempted to break another barrier as the first potential pro football draft pick who was about to openly declare himself homosexual at the start of his career, those who spoke out of hate were similarly shunned by their leagues. One would hope that the example being set by the traditionally cold professional sporting climate in these cases is one that will spread awareness and change, not one that will allow such ignorance to be pushed under the rug and quietly condoned. On the face, it appears the NBA dealt with Sterling appropriately and sent an effective message to the masses.

Favourite movie picks from the library’s shelves

In March alone, DVDs were lent out 2295 times from the County’s six public library branches. The library’s collection of films, which includes a selection for all ages and virtually all tastes, continues to grow and its popularity in tandem. Here are a few recommendations readers might want to check out – literally. A trio of family movies staff recommend include The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Saving Mr. Banks and Night at the Museum. “If you like superheroes, villains, oh and can't forget Sean Connery, then you'll enjoy this one,” says Gisa of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. The movie is a 2003 superhero film loosely based on the first volume of the comic book series The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen by Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill. Set in the late 19th century, it features an assortment of fictional literary characters that act as period era superheroes working through the works of Bram Stoker, Jules Verne, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and others. Saving Mr. Banks is the recommendation from Tracy. A recent hit at the box office starring Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson, it is the story of author P.L. Travers’s reluctant agreement to meet with Walt Disney to have her book made into a film. Walt Disney wants to adapt the writer’s Mary Poppins for the big screen and Travers becomes increasingly involved in making sure her books are depicted in the manner she feels they deserve. My recommendation for an entertaining movie for families is an older one starring Ben Stiller supported by a large cast of well-known actors including Robin Williams and Mickey Rooney. Night at the Museum is the story of a kind-hearted dreamer who works at the Museum of Natural History and discovers that the characters in the exhibits come to life during his graveyard shift. Action, comedy and history lessons blend nicely in this fun film. For adults, three recommendations that share inspiring stories that triumph over adversity are The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, and The King’s Speech. A review by Stephen Holden for the New York Times says of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, “With a cast that includes Judi Dench,

InsIde the lIbrary CHRISTINE RENAUD

Maggie Smith, Tom Wilkinson and Bill Nighy, this leisurely paced two-hour movie is a reasonably tasty banquet for the Anglophiles who embrace Downton Abbey.” While this may not sound like resounding praise, considering the popularity of Downton Abbey, many will undoubtedly enjoy this film. It follows a group of British retirees who decide to "outsource" their retirement to less expensive and seemingly exotic India. Enticed by advertisements for the newly restored Marigold Hotel, they arrive to find the palace a shell of its former self. The new environment is less luxurious than they imagined, but the experience and friendships transform their shared experiences. Colin Firth is brilliant as Bertie in The King’s Speech. After the death of his father King George V, and the scandalous abdication of King Edward VIII, Bertie, who has suffered from a debilitating speech impediment all his life, is suddenly crowned King George VI of England. The story follows his struggle to overcome his paralyzing barrier to speaking in public, including his time with an eccentric speech therapist with whom he eventually forms an unbreakable bond. If you have viewed a DVD from the library and would like to share a recommendation, we encourage you to either drop off a note with your recommendation to any branch or send an email to: crenaud@peclibrary.org or bsweet@peclibrary.org We will share your recommendations in the library and may include them in a future column.

Traffic had to be rerouted and the street was closed while crews worked to mend the problem. The hole was filled and traffic was moving again the next day, but the road has yet to be repaved.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Coyotes have an important role to play in nature

In the April 17, 2014 issue of the Gazette, a letter to the editor from Janet Bingham calls for a "Common sense solution required for coyote issue". I wasn't aware that coyote were an issue, only people. In the article Bingham vilifies the coyote by falsely saying that our children are in grave danger of being attacked and eaten by these vicious coyotes. Further Bingham made a great discovery that the Ministry of Natural Resources does not have an extermination program in

force. Even more Bingham is suggesting to bring in hired killers from a foreign country under the "out sourcing" program and do what Bingham feels needs to be done, before all the children are devoured by these menacing creatures from the dark side. Bingham. does not offer to use her own money for these paid assassin's but rather we use taxpayer money. If the coyotes are invading urban areas as suggested in the article, then the

urban dwellers should stop attracting them with exposed household waste. The coyote's place in nature is ultra important. I have attached two addresses here of just what happens when the balance of nature in significantly upset. In mans world the term "Cull" is a polite term for genocide and butchery, slaughter against a specific creature in this case the coyote. A.www.nps.gov/yell/natu rescience/wolfrest.htm B.www.jyi.org/issue/resto ration-or-destruction-the-

reincarnation This was one of many American catastrophes brought on by immigrants from foreign countries since the year 1492. If Bingham is worried then perhaps the safest place would be in downtown Toronto possibly even as far as Detroit in the U.S . The only thing that worries me are the poachers, some are local many are from the big cities. They don't care about anything. Tony Beaumont

Restored section of Millennium Trail chewed up in winter

When Dick MacArthur from the Rotary Club of Wellington did an inspection of the Millennium Trail yesterday, to see how the parts that we had upgraded had stood up over the winter, he was pleased to see that the surface is generally in good shape. However, he was disappointed to see

Bees, other insects not pests

Regarding Pierre Petelle’s notes on the safe and wonderful uses of neonicotinoids, could we possibly start the discussion by eliminating the word “pesticides”when speaking about this issue. Bees and other insects are not pests. We are in the process of killing insects and, therefore, the word used should be “insecticides”. Ursula Cattelan

that heavy equipment that was used to put field drainage tiles on farmland and dig a deep ditch alongside the trail had chewed up the trail west of the golf course. We will see if we can get the farm owner to fix the surface and return it to our improved state. Elsewhere along the

trail, some other residents along the trail have been cutting brush and planting trees behind their house. The Rotary Club has not resumed their upgrade work yet, awaiting approval to get back on the trail. New liability insurance concerns about volunteer safety, particularly for

those using chain saws, are resulting in additional regulations that the County has not published, yet. When we know what standards we have to follow, we will resume upgrading the trail. I will keep you informed. Barry Davidson

GILEAD ROAD HOME CATCHES FIRE

This Wellington home was ravaged by fire for hours last Thursday April 24. The blaze began at the home around 2:45 pm and raged at the home until firefighters won out by 9:30 pm. Throughout the afternoon 27 firefighters worked at the scene. No one was home. The home was destroyed with an estimated $150, 000 in damage. The cause of the fire has been determined as electrical.

PECT’s Deathtrap full of deceit

Violent thriller leaves audiences guessing about characters’ fates AdAm BrAmBurger

Staff writer

"No one is safe." That's how Prince Edward Community Theatre director Lynn Fennell describes the scene for Deathtrap, the Ira Levin thriller the company is staging at Mt. Tabor starting this Friday. Among Levin's most popular works, Deathtrap features a somewhatwashed up playwright, Sidney Bruhl (Bill McMahon), who has a particular mind for crime. Bruhl is contacted by one of his students, Clifford Anderson (Hugh Cameron), who is looking to have him provide feedback on a play. From there, Bruhl starts to put his evil genius to work and suggests — jokingly, he says — to his wife Myra (Lindsey Payne) that he would kill Anderson to steal the scrip and make money. According to Fennell, the Myra character embodies the reactions of the audience and she is innocently drawn into something very dark. Suspicion, it turns out, would serve her wisely. "The audience is being drawn into a very devious scheme. What you think you here, suspect what you hear," Fennell said. "This is a play of deceit. You can't trust the speakers. You wonder who is lying, why are they lying, and how do I know what is true and what isn't?"

Naturally, there are twists and turns and they all work around Bruhl's character. Fennell said the veteran actor McMahon really makes the evil plot twists come to life in his portrayal. "He pulls it off beautifully," he said. "He's worked very, very hard coming right out of God of Carnage into rehearsals for this and he has a ton of work here. He's well cast and very capable. He's the pivot here, everything revolves around Sidney." Regular audiences at local theatres will also notice this show presents a bit of a departure from the roles Payne is usually cast in. Having often taken on comedic leads, she plays the strong dramatic role of the uneasy, fret-filled Myra well. Fennell said throughout the rehearsal process, she has shown strong growth as an actor. Cameron plays the role of Bruhl's eager student quite believably also. Later in the production, two new characters are introduced. Helga (Paulina McMahon), a psychic, comes in and starts to cast suspicion on the Bruhl household with visions of painful events that don't quite match up with the scenes the audience knows about. Then, there's Bruhl's lawyer and business manager, Porter Milgrim (John McCarthy) whom one discovers also has a bit of a shady side to hide.

"You pretty much have to have that to be in this play," Fennell concluded. The bodies continue to pile up in the comedic thriller, though it's anyone's guess who might be standing when the curtain falls and what they'll do with the plays the writers have produced. Fennell said the company has been looking forward to producing Deathtrap for several years and he added it is a bit different from the farce and melodrama featured in several other devious plays they've delivered in their six years. This one, he said, is more challenging to stage. "It's a violent play as you see and there's going to be more violence as we get farther into it. It's a tough thing to do to make the violence convincing," he said. Fennell noted the crew has been working hard on the props, which include fake blood and real weapons. The show opens tomorrow night for the first of two consecutive weekends of Friday-Saturday curtain calls. All four productions begin at 8 p.m. Tickets are $14 in advance from ticket outlets at the Gazette, Imperial Submarine, Kelly's and the SideStreet Gallery, or directly through Fennell at 613-4765925 or lynnfennell@sympatico.ca. Tickets for groups of eight or more can also be reserved in advance for $10 each. Tickets at the door are $16 each, though supply is limited.

Presentation on hospital’s future set for tomorrow

The stakeholder groups involved in the campaign to bring a new hospital to Prince Edward County will give an update on their progress tomorrow morning. Representatives from Quinte Healthcare Corporation (QHC), the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation, the County, the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Auxiliary, the Prince Edward Family Health Team, and the South East Local Health Integration Network (SE LHIN)

have announced they will relaunch the planning efforts to build a new hospital at the Picton Town Hall above the fire hall at 10 a.m. Last June, the SE LHIN sent QHC and its partners back to the table to rework plans for the hospital before sending them forward to the Ministry of Health and Longterm Care for consideration. At that time, QHC chief executive officer and president Mary Clare Egberts said some of the LHIN’s concerns included the size of building

proposed and the changing focus on Ontario’s healthcare system. Some of the services the planning partners had included in their vision for a new hospital are services the province is looking to move to community providers in the future. In June, Egberts cautioned that while plans were underway it still might take between 10-15 years for the shovels to hit the ground on any new facility. -Staff

Parks Canada officials have told three local municipalities that if they want twoway traffic on a swing bridge over Murray Canal, they should be prepared to pay for it. Prince Edward County Mayor Peter Mertens attended a special meeting hosted by NorthumberlandQuinte West MP Rick Norlock in Trenton last week and he outlined the discussions from that meeting to his colleagues at the committee-of-the-whole table Thursday afternoon. The ministry representatives indicated they have a budget of $4.3 million to refurbish the bridge on Northumberland's County Rd. 64, near Brighton. According to federal standards, however, the structure is not wide enough to provide for twolane traffic, despite accommodating that traffic for more than 60 years. A single lane bridge with stop lights would replace the structure, with construction slated for 2015. Officials have said that would be a nightmare for traffic flow with the lights and one-way flow slowing down emergency vehicles and visiting tourists. "There were options introduced that the affected communities — Brighton, ourselves and Quinte West — could pay the other $4.7 million to make it into a two-lane bridge," Mertens said. He added that one suggestion from Parks Canada included a bid for the three counties to access Build Canada funding from the federal government to pay for the bridge. In February, the federal government announced $1 billion would be set aside for projects in small communities. While he said staff from the municipalities are investigating the feasibility of such a move, Mertens said he is uncomfortable with the idea. For one thing, he was concerned that municipalities may only get one shot at money from the fund. The other is that it isn't municipal infrastructure. "If our name goes in the pot and we get some money out, but that's our one and only shot that's a big concern. We're investigating that. If it in any way jeopardizes things we want to do, we have to think, do we want to ask Build Canada for money?" the mayor said. "There will not be a dollar spent from Prince Edward County. We're not prepared to spend taxpayers' money — and the other municipalities agreed. We have enough of a time fixing our own infrastructure, let alone federal infrastructure. We believe that is their own responsibility." Mertens said it didn't appear to him that there was

any movement on behalf of Parks Canada on the file, adding he thinks their end game may have been to give the municipalities a chance to pay for the bridge they want and to move forward, stating those municipalities didn't take up the offer. Ameliasburgh councillor Nick Nowitski also attended the meeting. He said many people were frustrated by the government's policy of replacing items in kind — building the same structure that was left, and not providing extra money to account for changes in regulations. "They're saying we're supposed to be building for the future but they want us to build for 30 years ago." Nowitski said it appeared the Parks staff were in a hurry to get to work on the project. "Everybody felt like there was a gun put to their head," he said. "They were told, if we don't do this now, the bridge is going to fall down or we're going to close it because it's unsafe." He added the over 100 residents in attendance were told that the federal representatives had no problem building the bridge for two-way traffic and leaving traffic signals off the structure, however the catch was that Quinte West would have to take all responsibility for any accidents and deaths on the bridge. "Then, they can say it's Quinte West's fault for saying no because they're not willing to take on that responsibility," he said. Councillors were also dismayed when told that decisions were being made on the bridge without accurate traffic counts. Traffic studies seemed to quote old numbers from Quinte West multiplied by an expected increase in traffic. Also, Mertens said Parks officials were stating the changes would only add 72 seconds onto a commuter's trip in a worst-case scenario. He said that's not realistic given that the bridge also swings open and can take 12 minutes each time it swings for boat traffic, which the Parks staff indicated would be their priority concern with regard to the bridge. Sophiasburgh councillor Kevin Gale put it on the record that he would not support the use of Build Canada funding to support improvements of federal infrastructure.

same type of liquor as that which they produce. The manufacturers can establish a warehouse that is separate from their manufacturing facility for the purpose of storing their own products. The bill would also allow a manufacturers' association to establish a warehouse to store the products for the manufacturers. Smith said the measures are something liquor producers have been calling for and will give them more opportunities to sell their products. “This would really open the door to allow them to work collaboratively to sell their products, not just in Prince Edward County, but elsewhere in the province,� Smith said. He said right now producers have to pay a premium to get into an LCBO warehouse. He said this bill would allow for private warehousing. For example, he said that could mean Prince Edward County wineries could set up warehouses in Toronto and Ottawa and work together to distribute their products to restaurants in those regions. “It's an opportunity for (manufacturers) to sell in other areas and it's an opportunity for the province to really see some job growth in this area as well,� said Smith. “Right now it's extremely dif-

measures will be positive for manufacturers both big and small. He said there's an opportunity for smaller manufacturers to increase sales and exposure. “I can't see a downside really, the potential is only for growth in the industry as a result of this,� he said. Prince Edward County Winegrowers Association chair Kathleen Greenaway too saw no downside to the measures. “We appreciate any effort to help the wine growing industry to more efficiently reach our customers,� she said. “These proposed changes would be very helpful in this direction.� She said the measures would provide opportunities for more efficient distribution and make it easier for the wineries to supply restau-

rants. She said there's also an opportunity for co-operative shipping and combined orders. “As well, individual wineries could choose to cooperate in the retailing of their products. There would also be the opportunity for offsite warehousing that would help us to better participate in Farmers’ Markets,� said Greenaway. “Taken together, there could be a number of benefits for local wineries.� Greenaway said alcohol regulation has historically been very restrictive and any efforts to ease that regulatory burden would be a welcome change. “It is great to see our local MPP supporting one of Prince Edward County's most important industries,� she said.

A new bill introduced by the local member of provincial parliament on Monday could be a boon to local wineries, brewers, and cider makers. Prince Edward-Hastings MPP Todd Smith's Raise a Glass to Ontario Act received its first reading at Queen's Park this week and will move forward for a second reading. The bill seeks to reduce warehouse regulations for wineries and breweries and to allow them to sell the products of other wineries and breweries at their on-site stores. It's something Smith said he's been working on for the last two years, consulting with brewers and vintners across the province and within the riding. “I'm glad we were finally able to table the legislation,� he told the Gazette on Tuesday. With close to 30 wineries, Prince Edward County may be in a unique position to take full advantage of the legislation if passed, Smith said. “It's going to give them some options and that would be a big step forward,� he said. “What I hear from the Winegrowers Association in Prince Edward County is they have limited shelf space — they have limited opportunity to sell their products because of provincial regulations and legislation.� The bill applies to wines, ciders, beers, and spirits. The bill would amend the Liquor Control Act to allow spirits, beer, cider, and wine manufacturers to sell the products of other manufacturers. It also allows them to transport and deliver that liquor to any government store, or to any holder of a license to permit or sell under the Liquor Licence Act. Manufacturers can only sell products that are the

said if the measures come into effect it would open the prospect of wineries working collaboratively to sell products for each other. “It's not creating any new points of sale across the province, but what it's allowing is perhaps every winery in Prince Edward County to become a mini Prince Edward County wine store,� Smith said. Smith said in a lot of cases people visiting the county will only have time to visit a few wineries. He said they never really get to sample the full range of products. “This would allow them to potentially fill up the trunk of their car and head back to Ottawa, or Montreal, or Toronto — wherever they're visiting from — and be able to sample all the wines of Prince Edward County,� he said. “It's a small step forward to helping the wine association and wine industry grow in Prince Edward County.� Smith said he believes the

stand as a party. Shouldn't it be up to taxpayers and voters to decide who the premier is, not Andrea Horwath?" Hudak said his plan features five points. It starts with less debt, continues with lowering taxes and making energy rates more affordable, and hits on the promotion of skilled trades and increased trade. He also mentioned that he would see red tape cut by at least one-third and dock the pay of politicians and himself as premier if targets aren't reached in those areas. Hudak expressed confidence that his plan would produce one million well paying jobs within the next eight years. A pensioner who felt the government is taking too much of his fixed income in taxes asked Hudak what he could do to help those on fixed incomes pay their bills and eat. While Hudak said he felt much of the tax revenues Ontario collects is wasted and suggested some taxes should be lowered, he indicated the best thing he could do for people young and old is to get Ontario's fi-

nances in order. "I'm not going to come here to Trenton and be the type of politician who promises all kinds of spending with money we don't have," he said. "Right now we're in an $11-billion annual hole. We're now on track to not doubling, but tripling our debt. When you get in trouble with debt, the longer you leave it, the longer it takes to get back on your feet." Later in the evening, Hudak said his opponents may criticize him for wanting to pay down the debt, but he said it is costing Ontario residents real money. Statistics from the think tank Fraser Institute suggest that each Ontario resident basically has a $20,000 share of debt when they're born. The province pays 10 cents of every dollar it earns to service that debt and even a small interest boost would be costly. "We have record low interest rates. If interest ticks up one percent, that's $500 million. That's 250,000 MRI scans. Everyone in this room has had someone who has waited too long for an MRI, for an ultrasound or a CT scan. That's gone right off the top, that's what's at stake." Hudak added the impact is even worse on the next generation than simply inheriting our growing debt, which he called "morally wrong" in itself. He added other jurisdictions will get a

Ontario Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak was in Trenton Thursday night for a town hall presentation that sounded very much like a stump speech for an upcoming provincial election. Speaking before a crowd of about 50 people at the Ramada Inn, Hudak suggested that he's the only leader of the three parties with a plan to jumpstart the province's economy and bring prosperity. The Niagara West-Glanbrook MPP painted a stark difference between what he was hoping to do for the province and the actions of the governing Liberals and the NDP who hold the balance of power. With regard to the Liberal party, Hudak chastised the recent leak of budget promises. "We've heard 39 different spending announcements of $5.7 billion in borrowed money. That's what lazy politicians do, they overspend when they have no idea how to create jobs," he said. He went on to say that he

competitive edge. "When we send that money back to China or Wall Street or wherever, that money plus interest doesn't just disappear. They use it to build their own highways, their own universities, and their own hydro systems," he said. "So when my daughters and our grandkids grow up, they're going to be competing with countries far more advanced. They're going to have a hard time getting a good job because we've paid our competitors to eat our lunch." He said he has plans to reduce that debt by 2017. His plan includes across the board wage freezes for MPPs and the public sector. Hudak also said it was time to end gold-plated government pensions. "If you don't have a government pension, it's wrong your taxes are going to go to bail out government pensions. Fair is fair," he said. Another aspect of Hudak's plan Prince Edward County residents likely would pay attention to is hydro rates. Hudak made it no secret the reason that bills are skyrocketing with more steady increases to come. First, he pointed the finger straight at the Liberal green energy policy. Second, bureaucracy. "The biggest driver of our hydro costs is the subsidies to the wind farms and solar plants. It's simply unaffordable," he said. "It was an expensive experiment they moved away from in Europe and it's time that we move too. We need to rely on the workhorses in our system that are environmentally friendly but also give affordable hydro — nuclear power, hydro electricity, and natural gas." According to Hudak, Quebec just signed a deal to sell power to Vermont for less than half the amount Ontario pays for wind power. He reasoned if it provides cheaper supply, why not make similar deals. When asked a follow-up by county resident Craig McMillan about what he would do with the Green Energy Act if elected, Hudak noted he'd do everything in his power to restore local decision making, stating if people have a say about a Tim Hortons, they should have a say about a 500-foot turbine. Hudak also noted that there are more than 11,000 people working for hydro bureaucracies in the province that make $100,000 despite the fact that they're making less power.

Opimian Society enjoys fifth annual county winery tour

Native seedlings available

The Prince Edward County Stewardship Council is offering local families a chance to improve their properties by planting native tree species. This Sunday, beginning at 9 a.m. and running until supplies are diminished, the council will be selling seedlings of various native trees including white pine, Norway spruce, white cedar, sugar maple, bur oak, highbush, cranberry, red osier, dogwood, white birch, black walnut, and butternut hickory. The seedlings cost $2 each and unlike in past years, there is no limit on the number of trees that a family can purchase. The event will take place at the Picton fairgrounds cattle barn through the exit off Macsteven Drive. -Staff

day was at Rosehall Run where owner/winemaker Dan Sullivan showed off his impressive barrel room and explained the procedures he uses to move wine from his production facilities upstairs to his cellar for developing his wines. We then went to the tasting room where he proudly poured his wines as people eagerly tasted them. Our next stop was Harwood Estates where Kerry Wicks and John Rode showed their operation from the barrel room to the solar panels which power the whole operation! Following this we were treated to several wine tastings by Alison Brant with food pairings that worked really good! Our final stop of the day was TerraCello Winery where owner/winemaker Anthony Auciello wowed members with his new release Boca Nera. While members were lined up buying his wine Tony ran out to his pizza oven and

whipped out a few pizza's for people to try. This little trick worked as people loved his pizza samples and several couples stopped by the next day to get even more! After all of this wine tasting in the county we arrived back at Huff Estates at 5 p.m. to get our assigned rooms and enjoy a quick cleanup before the evening festivities started at 6:30. This part of the evening started with sommelier Delores Woodley leading a tasting of four Opimian wines from around the world not available at the LCBO. This was Woodley’s final tasting for us as she is heading off to Saudi Arabia for a two-year contract in the health field there. Opimian director Lois Anne Brebner (who will be appointed president of the Society in June) presented Delores a "wine necklace' as a me-

mento and thank you for her five years of dedication as Opimian area representative. Following the tasting we enjoyed a fantastic dinner that was prepared by county chef Michael Hoy and following this we were entertained by the whimsical music of Mark McGreevy. Following on the heels of last weekend's Opimian tour is this coming weekend's Terroir event. No driving to taste the pleasures of the county as local wineries will be pouring their wares at the Crystal Palace and of course there will be some great food to pair as well. I'll certainly be there for a sip. Will you?

I moved to the county for the wine (and in the meantime discovered a LOT more in the people, food, music, et cetera) but the wine continues to amaze me. I try to get out to wineries in the winter but am not as successful as I would like: maybe it's because I can't put the top down on my Smart Car and enjoy the whole experience! I look forward to each spring and my annual Opimian wine tour of the county is what really starts the season for me! The Opimian Society is Canada's largest private wine buying group (20,000 members coast to coast and I am the area rep for the Seaway Valley, covering from Cobourg to Gananoque) and they know and like their wine. This year was our fifth annual tour of county wineries. Again we took over Huff Estates and our tour started with a tasting there at 11 a.m. Saturday morning. Sommelier Brian Hanna once again enthralled members with his knowledge of the wine industry here in the county and led the tasting on some great Huff Estates wine. From Huff Estates, our bus then took our 42 members to Sandbanks Estates where owner and winemaker Catherine Langlois told her story of how she got involved in the industry here and led members for a tasting of her wines which was warmly received. Our third stop of the day was The Grange of Prince Edward. Owner/winemaker Caroline Granger (along with daughter Maggie — a future story in the Gazette will feature this mother/daughter winemaking team) brought the tour through their winemaking facilities and then a special tour of their wine cellar. Following this tour we went upstairs for a tasting in their incredible tasting room and one member mentioned he had got gotten back from Napa in California and had not see a tasting room as nice as this. Again the Opimian members were led on tasting of some great county wines and no one was disappointed. Our fourth stop of the

A recent presentation to council expressed the concerns of local beekeepers about the deadly affects pesticides containing neonicotinoids are having on honeybees. In Ontario, and apparently in the county, the current focus is on having farmers work with local beekeepers and informing them when the planting of treated corn and soy seeds is occurring. When these seeds are planted by machine, a lot of particles from the coated seeds become air borne and can thus come in contact with the bees. The Ontario Beekeepers Association is unhappy with the Ontario government’s response to their concerns. They do not believe that ensuring bees are protected during the period that corn and soy seeds are sown is adequate as the neonicotinoid seed coating can be found in ground water in the surrounding area and even in the water expelled by the leaves of the plant. Bees need to consume water as well as nectar. The bee population has been declining in Ontario and elsewhere since the onset of the mites killing bees in their hives in 2004. Reducing amounts of habitat, and death from exposure to earlier pesticides, have also taken their toll. Not surprisingly when one searches the Internet there are some differing points of view on the effect that varieties of pesticides that contain neonicotinoids (commonly referred to as

ASK A  MASTER GARDENER SANDRA GORANSON

neonics) have on bees. There are those who totally deny any such effects, and are from sources that appear to have links to the producers of such pesticides. Then there are a large number of studies, the earliest of which appear to come from Europe, that support the theory that these types of pesticides are destructive in terms of their impact on bees. Those European studies explore how bees apparently come in contact with the pesticides; which forms of neonics appear to be the most deadly; and the affects on bees, which lead initially to the loss of bees and eventually to the loss of whole hives. Some studies state that neonics “impairs olfactory memory learning in bees” and “decreases foraging success and survival”. Unfortunately most of these studies are laboratory based

and the bees are exposed to far higher levels of the pesticide than is ever likely to occur in farmers’ fields. Europe currently has a twoyear ban on these types of pesticides. Finally, in both Europe and at the Federal level in Canada, governments are looking at the possible effects these nicotine based pesticide could have on human health. The more one reads of both sides of the argument the more confusing it can become, raising more questions than there are answers. Fortunately given the strict regulations in Ontario governing the use of pesticides and herbicides in home gardens, local gardeners do not have to be concerned about accidentally using these products. Therefore as home gardeners we are not part of the problem. Nonetheless anything that affects our major pollinators affects everyone who maintains or simply loves gardens that require such pollinators. Whether you support either the European approach regarding a ban while further studies occur, or the current approach in Ontario and here in the County which is encouraging farmers growing corn and soy using neonic coated seeds to work with local beekeepers and keep them informed as to planting schedules as a first step in resolving this problem, is your choice. In our gardens, given our dependence on bees for pollination and given their de-

creasing populations, we need to make our practices bee supportive. In this regard I am going to make use of an article I wrote a few years ago which begun as follows and remains true today: While not all gardeners want to be beekeepers, we all need to be the conscious of the need to keep our bees. The Ontario government has helped home gardeners reduce significantly the use of pesticides on lawns and gardens. If you do need to use a pesticide apply it in late evening and very early morning when bees are unlikely to fly, and try to avoid those plants that bees find most attractive in your garden. Bees are most attracted to blue, purple and yellow flowers. As well, they prefer single flowers rather than those with double blooms and multiple petals. They require nectar from spring to fall so gardeners can plan accordingly. No list of plants or rules around colours are all inclusive, so you may find bees attracted to flowers in your garden that are different than those described here. In my gardens, for example, I find bees attracted to and hovering around the white flowers in my raspberry patch. Gardens and weed patches alike contribute to healthy bees. Daisy-type flowers can include dahlias, cosmos and zinnias as well as the perennials. Not just nepetas but other mints such as sage and lavender have bees hovering close by. Other groupings include buttercups as well as goldenrods, asters, yarrows and Queen Ann’s lace. bergamot, delphiniums, larkspur, snapdragons and false dragonhead also work. Clover attracts certain bees and can be part of your lawn or even a weed patch. For other suggestions just keep your eyes on the bees. Bees also like some water access, perhaps a birdbath and a patch of bare earth. The latter can be hard to locate as much of our gardens are covered with mulch in order to reduce weeding. If you are particularly nervous around bees, or believe you attract bees and even wasps, here are some suggestions. Avoid scents and as much as possible use unscented or very lightly scented shampoos, deodorants, lotions and creams. Some state that avoiding the colour red can be useful too. If none of these work follow the directions for avoiding bees by gardening very early in the morning or very late in the day as long as there is enough light to carry out the necessary tasks. Together we can make a difference. Whether we are gardeners, beekeepers or farmers we all need our bees. If you have a gardening question, send it to askamastergardener@xplornet.c om or better yet, come see us at our annual Master Gardener’s plant sale on Saturday, May 24 beginning at 8:30 a.m. in the Picton Metro parking lot and share your gardening experiences and questions with us.

Centre may help Hospice Prince Edward offer more complementary services for clients

HOSPICE, from page 1

"Twenty-six families in eight months have passed through our doors, we have already shown value and will continue to all while making recommendations on government can save health care dollars which is the ultimate goal of our funder," she said. "The LHIN constantly reminds us the province is also watching closely." Financially, the facility and its fundraising drive are on target. Parks indicated the organization is debt free and has a balanced budget. The community is also within $75,000 of reaching its $850,000 community campaign goal and it expects that will come to completion in the near future. Additional funds will be used to complete landscaping efforts and restore reserve funds Hospice borrowed from for the project. As part of the celebration, Parks and Hospice board

chair Birgit Langwisch answered a series of questions about the project and about the direction of their organization. One of the questions Langwisch said board members are often asked is why Hospice didn't elect to renovate a wing of the hospital for palliative care. She said regulations set out by the Ministry of Health and Long-term Care and Hospice and Palliative Care Ontario meant renovations would have been extensive and costly to bring washrooms, wall-coverings, flooring, and doors up to code. They decided a standalone project was a better bet. "We thought Benson Hall might be a location we could renovate, but when we found Downes, we thought, 'Oh my gosh, this is something we can renovate," Langwisch said. "It didn't have four beds like we envisioned at Benson, but it did have three beds and in the end, the LHIN did fund us for the three beds." Parks also added that it

was appealing to have a building Hospice could own and call its own home. Another question they fielded was in how the residential facility related to Hospice's home visiting program which has been at the heart of the service for several years. Parks indicated that program is still robust with more than 50 families supported, but added the residential facility can serve as a catalyst for programming. "We look at 40 Downes as being a palliative care centre for our community," she said. "We're looking at expanding many of our programs or creating new programs. One of the things we are working on diligently is a complementary care program with things like music therapy or touch therapy — that would be not only for residents in hospice,

but also families in our community. We have the space and infrastructure. Another program we would love to implement is a day program. Caregivers could come with loved ones and get relief." Parks indicated a spiritual care committee is also in the plans and many ideas are being considered. Langwisch noted the facility has also become an extension of the home-care support as 10 of the 26 people who have passed through the hospice have come from their own homes. The other 16 have been referred from hospital settings. She said that shows it has a real place in the community. "We have a choice now in Prince Edward, if someone wants to make their end-oflife journey at home, if at all possible that's done. The

Hospital@Home program is an additional way to help keep people at home who require more care," she said. "Not every journey can end that way. Those 10 residents must have needed care that couldn't be given at home. Until last August, their only choice was the hospital." Asked if there were any challenges or unexpected aspects to running the home, Parks indicated things have even more smoothly than imagined though, like many, Hospice didn't plan on the

harsh winter. Policies were challenged as staff couldn't leave and others couldn't come in. Double and triple shifts occurred and some staff members had to do laundry and eat dinner at the facility, but somehow the facility ran. "That's a subscript of hospice. However you need to get it done, it just gets done so the comfort is there," Langwisch said. Hospice Prince Edward will look to support the residential centre with the Hike For Hospice this Sunday.

Outstanding employers recognized at breakfast Agencies recognize contributions made to grow business, create employment locally JaSonParkS

Morning gLory Several county employers were recognized Tuesday for their contributions to foster a positive business environment for people to work within the municipality. (Jason Parks/Gazette staff)

Some of the movers and shakers that make Prince Edward County work were honoured Tuesday morning with an appreciation breakfast. About two dozen local employers, community organizations, schools and businesses gathered at the Prince Edward Community Centre for the inaugural Prince Edward County employer recognition breakfast. Organized by Career Edge, Community Living Prince Edward, Prince Edward Learning Centre,

the Prince Edward County Chamber of Tourism & Commerce (PECCTAC) and the East Central Ontario Training Board, the event recognized those that made a significant or special contribution to the workforce in the past year and celebrated their efforts. PECCTAC general manager Mike McLeod said the event came by way of a meeting with stakeholders this past winter. “We really thought we should do something for ourselves here in the county because we have such great employers and such great support for those employers,” McLeod said.

Employers, businesses and organizations were handed celebratory recognition certificates. Prince Edward County Mayor Peter Mertens thanked those gathered Tuesday for their efforts over the past year. “As a politician I get to to go to a number of ribbon cuttings, grand opening and expansions and County council would like to take credit for that. But there's somebody there's who's making the investment, who's growing the business and creating employment,” Mertens said. “The County doesn't create employment, it tries

Learn more about preventing tick bites and recognizing symptoms of Lyme disease

There are many web sites where you can find out about ticks, how to prevent being bitten, and what to do if you are bitten. This information is from the Health Canada web site. If you are going to spend time outdoors in wooded areas or tall grass that may be tick-infested: Find out from the local public health office if there are ticks, especially blacklegged ticks, in the area. When walking in tick-infested areas, wear clothing that will keep ticks from getting to bare skin. Wear closed shoes, long-sleeved shirts that fit tightly around the wrist, and tuck into pants.

Protect your legs by tucking pants into socks or boots. Ticks are easier to see and remove on light-coloured clothing. Insect repellents containing DEET can effectively repel ticks. Repellents can be applied to clothing as well as exposed skin but should not be applied to skin underneath clothing (note: DEET may damage some materials). Always read and follow label directions. Check for ticks on clothing and skin after being in tick-infested areas. A daily total-body inspection and prompt removal of attached ticks (within 18 to 24 hours)

can reduce the risk of infection. Blacklegged ticks are very small, particularly the younger ones, so look carefully. Do not forget to check children and pets as well. Carefully remove attached ticks using tweezers. Grasp the tick's head and mouth parts as close to the skin as possible and pull slowly until the tick is removed. Do not twist or rotate the tick and try not to squash or crush the tick during removal. After removing ticks, wash the bite site with soap and water or disinfect it with alcohol or household antiseptic. Note the day of the tick bite and try to save the tick in an empty pill vial or doubled zip-lock bag. Contact a doctor immediately if you develop symptoms of Lyme disease, especially when you have been in an area where blacklegged ticks are found. If you have saved the tick, take it with you to the doctor's of-

INFO FOR SENIORS

DEBBIE MACDONALD MOYNES

fice. The Hastings and Prince Edward Public Health Unit website has this to say about ticks and the symptoms to look out for. Fever, headache, muscle or joint pains, fatigue and a skin rash, especially one that looks like a red bull's eye are com-

mon signs and symptoms of Lyme disease. Not all patients with Lyme disease will develop the bull's eye rash. It occurs in approximately 70-80 per cent of patients. The incubation period of the disease can be 7-10 days but can be within 3-32 days after an infected tick bite. It is important that the tick is carefully removed and secured. The health unit strongly encourages people to contact the Health Unit as they are interested in having the tick identified and tested for the bacterium that causes Lyme disease. Promptly seek medical consultation and if you’ve given the tick to the health unit, ensure that the medical doctor understands that the Health Unit has the tick and will have it identified and tested. Find out more at the Health Canada web site at www.hc-sc.gc.ca or the health unit web site at www.hpechu.on.ca

helped raise $533 to go toward the cause by having a hamburger and hot dog barbecue. She said outside of that, donations were made simply because the cause is one that everyone can relate to. “All of us have been affected by cancer in one way or another. I know a student who has had cancer in one of our Catholic schools. It's one of the many important causes we deal with,” she said. Guay said this is the second year the school has taken part and the kids are always ecstatic to participate. Additionally, she said it's important to show the kids that outside of their uniforms, police officers are ordinary people.

Dukes don’t show much rust in 4-1 win over Miners Wellington opens Dudley Hewitt Cup on home ice with complete effort

JASON PARKS

Staff writer

If the Wellington Dukes had any rink rust from not having played a meaningful hockey game since the first week of March, it took them exactly 21 seconds to shed it. The host Dudley Hewitt Cup club looked sharp in its tournament debut Tuesday night, beating the Kirkland Lake Gold Miners 4-1 in a spirited contest in front of over 900 fans. In what was the Dukes most complete game this calendar year, the locals came out hard and fast, setting an uptempo and physical tone right from the start. “That big first shift certainly got the momentum going, it got the building hoping and that's the loudest we've heard the building in quite some time. You couldn’t ask for a better start,” Wellington Dukes coach and general manager Marty Abrams said. Just 21 seconds into the contest, captain Erick Delaurentis tipped a Kyle Paat shot through Gold Miner netminder Jeremy Pominville for the games first goal and sending the largest Essroc Arena crowd this season into a frenzy. The Copeland Cup champs from the north had a tough time matching Wellington's speed and got into penalty trouble early, taking four minors in the first 15 minutes of the game. Provided with ample power-play opportunities, the Dukes couldn't get their shooting sights straight as they tried to beat Pominville high and airmailed a few grade A opportunities over the Kirkland Lake net. Finally, Wellington cashed in on a man advantage. when Mike Soucier collected a Braydon Blight feed, gained a step on a defender and roofed it at 16:45. For a skill player like Soucier who's had a tough time around the opposing net this season, the nice effort might have just been what the doctor ordered. “We hope it is,” said

Abrams. “We've wanted him to use that speed to the outside and that's what he did, taking the puck wide to the outside. That speed and his quick release really caught Pominville in the back of the net and I think it surprised him. If he can use that speed and his quick release, he's going to score a lot of goals for us.” In the second, after Matt Lippa got his first as a Duke when he converted a Luc Brown feed on a 2-on-1 rush three minutes in, the Dukes took their foot off the pedal ever so slightly. “I think there was a bit of lull and that might be due to conditioning,” Abrams said. After getting an early glut of power-play chances, the Dukes were naturally tasked with killing minors in the second and the Gold

Miners would strike at the half way mark of the frame when Damon MacEachern's cross crease pass bounced off Andrew Coupland's skate and past Tyson Teichmann for Kirkland Lake's first of the tournament. Up 3-1 after 40 minutes, Wellington got back into a groove in the final stanza, sending 18 shots Pominville's way. Brian Bunnett, who had an assist on the first Wellington goal, would factor into the scoring in the third when his smart pass found Steven Deeg and the pair of overagers combined for a power-play goal at the 7:51 mark of the third. Bunnett looked great in his first Dudley Hewitt Cup game since the 2011 tournament which Wellington captured in Huntsville,

winning board battles and staying smart with the puck when faced with pressure from the Gold Miners. “I'd like to say that I'm surprised but I'm not surprised. He was outstanding in training camp and his body's healthier now than it's been in some time. We all know that he should have been playing at a higher level than Junior C and, quite possibly, he could have been playing at a higher level than Junior A but that's not the cards that were dealt to him. “He's making the best of it and we thrilled for him, I hope he soaks it all in this week because he deserves it after coming back from that career threatening injury,” said Abrams. In the Wellington net, Teichmann was solid if not spectacular, making a

handful of acrobatic saves on 24 Kirkland Lake volleys but not leaned upon heavily in the host's opening game. “That was the perfect first game of a tournament for a goaltender, he had enough shots to get into a rhythm but I though he was calm in the net. Last night was a real positive start,” said the coach. Wellington played the Superior International Junior Hockey League's Fort Frances Lakers last night and will finish off the round robin tonight when they play the Toronto Lakeshore Patriots. In the early game Tuesday, the Patriots downed a plucky Lakers club that came close to tying it late in the third period. Down 2-1, Laker captain Cody Wickstrom fed a nice

pass to a streaking Brent Aiken but the winger couldn't find a way to beat Pats goalie Evan Buitenhuis. With the Lakers buzzing, Pats bench boss Jason Fortier took a well advised time out as Toronto Lakeshore controlled the ensuing defensive zone faceoff allowing Kevin Shier to march down the ice and score his second of the contest en route to a 4-1 win. The Patriots and the Gold Miners hooked up Wednesday afternoon. ‘Round the ‘Roc: Duke Mike Robinson and MacEachren were most valuable players of the Tuesday night game. Lakers goalie Jordan Cartney made 35 saves in the loss was chosen as Fort Frances’s star player. Shier was named the Pats’ most valuable player.

Seven-run inning lifts Panthers over Chargers in Bay of Quinte opener PECI takes aggressive approach on the base paths to beat rebuilding rival AdAm BrAmBurger

Staff writer

The PECI Panthers put in some old fashioned hustle on the base paths when it mattered most, breaking open their Bay of Quinte opener with a seven-run sixth inning in a 10-7 triumph over rival Centennial Monday afternoon. With his team tied 3-3 going into what would be the final inning of the timeshortened affair in Wellington, Bob Wilson belted an Owen Juby offering to the left-field fence for a double. After Kyle Gould was a victim of a strikeout, Pat Macpherson came to the plate for the Panthers and hit a routine ground ball to second base. Wilson was running on the play, however, and was already rounding third when the Chargers' fielder made the play, scoring as Centennial took the easier out. With two down, it looked like Centennial would get out of the inning with just one blemish, but the Panthers refused to be complacent. Andrew Dayton walked and was replaced by Dan Seguin, who took two bases of his own before scoring on a Kevin Wilson single. John McHugh pinch ran for Kevin Wilson and, again, it looked as if the inning would come to an end without further damage. Juby struck out Jordan Strachan, but McHugh kept running hard and the Centennial catcher fumbled on the delivery. McHugh scored and Strachan was safe. Yet another speedy pinch runner, Dryden Norton, came on, then Riley McConnell got on base on an error. Phil Seguin did his part with a double to right field that cashed two more runners in. Gavin Ronan

and Matt Gallo also tacked on RBI singles before the Chargers could get out of the frame. Panthers relief pitcher Kyle Gould made short work of the bottom half of the inning, getting the leadoff batter to ground out to short stop, walking the second Charger, and striking out two. Coach Matt Ronan noted that Centennial is rebuilding this year after several seasons of contending and the Panthers knew they might get opportunities if they kept up the pressure. "The wheels came off for them and we just kept running it out and going hard," he said. "That's a young team there. They have a good pitcher in Ben Popovich and most of them are first or second year guys. We knew that and we just took advantage of our opportunities." The game was a bit of a see-saw earlier with two strong pitchers starting off. PECI got the early lead in the first as Phil Seguin led off with a single, moved over on a stolen base and Ronan single, then scored when Gallo hit into a fielder's choice. The Panthers wouldn't get one more hit on Popovich, who threw four innings for the Chargers, but added a run in the fourth as Gallo walked and scored on an fielding error. Bob Wilson pitched three innings of no-hit ball for the Panthers, but the Chargers got to him in the fourth. He allowed singles to Aidan Compeau and Anthony Popovich before Ben Popovich drove them both in with a hard hit ball up the gap in right field that also managed to skip past the Panthers' fielder, allowing the Chargers some extra bases. "We had one hiccup

Lakefield captures Schmalz

The Picton Pirates were definitely the closest team to the Ontario champions in this year’s Schmalz Cup playoff competition. The Lakefield Chiefs captured their third Junior C title last weekend by completing a sweep of the Great Lakes champion Essex 73’s on the road, winning Games 3 and 4 by scores of 4-3 and 6-2 respectively. The Pirates managed to take the Chiefs to a deciding

seventh game in their quarterfinal series and were without captain Evan Greer, who did not play the final game due to illness, and defender Nolan Powers, who was ejected within the first minute of the deciding game on a hitfrom-behind call. The Chiefs’ only three losses once they got out of their own league came at the hands of Picton. -Staff

WAiting for the verdict Panthers base runner Phil Seguin and the Centennial Chargers catcher both turn to look at the home-plate umpire after Seguin slid feet-first into the plate in the third inning. He was called out on the play as the catcher managed to get a tag down during action in Wellington on Monday. (Adan Branburger/Gazette staff)

there," Ronan said. "The ball got past our right-fielder and we didn't realize the man on first base was more critical than the one on second base. We allowed both to score." The right-handed Wilson left the game with 11 strikeouts and just one earned run against. "He's a bulldog, he'll ask for the ball and he has high expectations for himself," said Ronan. The teams traded runs in the fifth inning. McConnell walked and scored for the Panthers, while Gould had some early struggles on the mound. He walked one Charger and hit two others, allowing Compeau to sacrifice one run home.

Overall, Ronan said he was pleased with the outing, particularly with the notion that he could actively engage some of his bench players in the contest. "It shows we're 17 deep and our goal is to keep getting these guys some opportunities," he said. "Our older players know that nothing is set in stone right now." Ronan added he'd still like to see his players pick it up at the plate, particularly in the middle of the order as hitters in holes five through seven had six strikeouts between them. The Panthers are at home today to the Quinte Saints with Gallo and Macpherson expected to see pitching duty. On Monday, PECI will

LocaL boosters Ontario Culinary Tourism Alliance Executive Director Rebecca LeHeup and Ontario Foodservice Designation Program Coordinator Trevor Benson gave an information session about a new program called FeastON, in Wellington at Pomodoro Trattoria and Wine Bar. (April Lawrence/For The Gazette)

New initiative to promote local food and drink FeastON to feature culinary businesses who source at least 25 per cent of their ingredients from area suppliers apriL Lawrence

For The GazeTTe

A new Ontario Culinary Tourism Alliance program called FeastON was presented to Prince Edward County food service providers. Around 25 County food service professionals and producers, gathered at Pomodoro in Wellington for the presentation. Neighboring restaurant East and Main is the first restaurant in Prince Edward County to sign up for FeastON. FeastON is a provincial program that celebrates food service providers with a commitment to serving local products like food and drink. The definition of local for the FeastON program is anything that is grown or raised in Ontario. “From food trucks to fine dining and everything in between,” said Rebecca LeHeup, the executive director of the Ontario Culinary Tourism Alliance, of the food services providers that will be able to apply to the program. To qualify to be part of the FeastON program the food service provider must use a minimum of 25 percent locally produced food and drink. To insure that all of the businesses that apply are required to provide receipts to prove that they have in fact bought locally for their business. Trevor Benson, the Ontario food service designation program co-ordinator is the one that approves or denies a business entrance to the program based on the authenticity of their use of local products. The entire application process is done online and takes only a few minutes. Once a business becomes a member they have an online profile posted, access to the FeastON logo, and other benefits to help highlight their business. The program is putting a large emphasis on using social media to connect to consumers. One of the main social media platforms FeastON is using is Instagram, a photo sharing application. They will share photos and information

about their member businesses and hope that people will use FeastON to share consumer experiences at the businesses as well. The program is unique to Ontario and encourages the procurement of Ontario food and drink. FeastON will spotlight not only the foodservice providers but, their suppliers. “We’re trying as much as possible to maximize these partnerships,” said Benson. Benson and LeHeup said the goal is to grow the program to the point that they can increase the 25per-cent minimum. FeastON will work with businesses to help them continually improve the amount of local products that they use. Each member of the program has an online profile which not only highlights their business but the producers that they buy products from to circulate consumers to as many local businesses as possible. “We want to make sure we keep this nice circle running,” said Brenson. In each community there is a community connector. This person is a go-between for the businesses and the program. They help to collect photos and information about each of the businesses in the community that become part of the FeastON program. Since the program began in February there are 50 restaurants that have applied and either been accepted to or are awaiting approval to be part of the program. There are currently 20 community connectors in Ontario working in their communities to find businesses that may qualify for the program and helping businesses that are part of the program. There was passionate discussion about the issues the program is touching on. Prince Edward County food service providers and producers showed dedication to promote and to use local food and drink. To learn more about the FeastON program visit feastON.ontarioculinary.com.

MeMORIAMS

In memory of Margaret Haight, who passed away on May 4, 2012, we would like to share this message she kept posted on her refrigerator. Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet. To make all your friends feel that there is something in them. To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. To think only of the best, to work only for the best and expect only the best. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile. To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear and too happy to permit the presence of trouble. by Christian D. Larson Dearly remembered, Scott, Janet, Mallory and Lee SLAveN, Harry. 1965-1988. In loving memory of a dear son and brother. God hath not promised Skies always blue Flower-strewn pathways All our lives through God hath not promised Sun without rain Joy without sorrow, Peace without pain, But God hath promised Strength for the day Rest for the labour Light for the way Grace for the trials help from above Unfailing sympathy Undying love. Remembered always, Mom and family

KINGS CROWN ACHIEVERS Nurse Practitioner

The Prince Edward Family Health Team is seeking a full-time Nurse Practitioner (NP) to join our team serving the residents of Prince Edward County.

HUDAK, from page 12

"Shrink that, cut out the fat, reduce it, and pass the savings on to the taxpayer." That commitment to cut the fat will continue through government if the PCs are elected, Hudak said. He'd trim cabinet to 16 ministries and review programs. If they're redundant, they'd be shut down. Hudak said he'd also look to increase competition for government contracts in an attempt to get the greatest value for the taxpayer. He said the only ministry where spending would increase would be health care with more money going to front-line care and new drugs for cancer and neurological diseases. Hudak also said he had some ideas for the education sector to help supplement his job creating plans. He said he'd attempt to create 200,000 new skilled trades apprenticeships, knowing those are drivers for middle class jobs and entrepreneurship. He also indicated he has an idea to tie funding for colleges and universities to their success rate of placing grads into jobs in their field of studies and to promote entrepreneurship through post-secondary institutions. Before students graduate from high school, Hudak also indicated he'd like to see a return to basic mathematics skills and an emphasis on teaching students financial literacy so they can make better life choices. Hudak was also asked about what his government can do to help municipalities who are struggling to keep up infrastructure despite their own financial hardships. One solution the PC leader thought about was a change in the way gas tax is spread between the municipalities. Hudak said at present, gas tax goes to municipalities who have transit systems or subways. He noted that residents in rural Ontario are paying the same rate at the pumps for services that they rarely use. He promised that he would institute a system where all municipalities get a fair share of that revenue. “Under our plan, every municipality will get a share,” he said. “ I will let your local council decide if you put it into transit, roads or bridges. That is fair.” Local MPPs Rob Milligan (NorthumberlandQuinte West) and Todd Smith (Prince EdwardHastings) also attended and took part in the discussion. Ultimately, Smith had the last word in support of his leader. "We have a plan, you heard it loud and clear, we're the only ones who have a plan. No plan from the NDP, status quo seems fine from the current government. It's not fine," he said. "I don't know for sure when that next election is coming up. The one thing you can count on is that when Tim Hudak makes a promise, it's a promise that's going to be kept."

A Prince Edward County man has been found not criminally responsible (NCR) in the 2011 stabbing death of his mother. Justice Robert Scott handed down his verdict in Picton's Superior Court of Justice on Wednesday morning, finding that Beau Jeffery did not know he what he was doing was morally wrong when he stabbed Elaine Jeffery 13 times in the family home Aug. 24, 2011. Scott told the court Wednesday that based on the balance of probabilities, Jeffery was incapable of knowing what he was doing was wrong. “Having considered all of the evidence, exhibits, and expert testimony, I find the applicant suffered from a severe mental disorder that limited his abilities to judge his actions were wrong in a moral sense,” Scott said.

According to the facts of the case admitted as evidence, Jeffery stabbed his mother 13 times at around 2:50 p.m. on Aug. 24, 2011 in the kitchen of the Jeffery family home on County Road 5. After the stabbing that was precipitated by Elaine Jeffery's denial to surrender keys to a rented car and resulted in Beau Jeffery's command hallucination that he must obtain them, the son wrapped his mother in a carpet, placed her in the trunk of the vehicle and drove to a secluded boggy area of Old Milford Road in North Marysburgh ward where he disposed of the body. Beau Jeffery would then return to the scene and clean the scene with a water-bleach solution and held investigators searching for Elaine Jeffery off for days until he finally admitted he stabbed her to OPP Det-Insp Jim Smyth on Sept. 2. That Jeffery stabbed his mother to death was never in question during the trial but the case hinged on the 30 year old’s mental state up to, during and after the tragedy. Beau Jeffery was twice diagnosed with schizophrenia prior to 2011 and just one month before the murder, he made a pair of 911 calls that detailed chanting and raving natives outside his window and a lesbian ghost organization that was in the process of

stashing guns and cocaine inside the house. Defence expert Dr. Jonathon Rootenberg told the court in February that, upon his examination of the young man and the facts of the case provided, Jeffery was in a state of psychosis when he stabbed his mother, believing she was a random person and was unaware of the moral wrongfulness of his actions. After Rootenberg's expert testimony, Crown expert Dr. Derek Pallandi surprised

some court observers and sided with Rootenberg's assessment. Pallandi said he was persuaded by the command auditory hallucinations the young man told him he heard just prior to the stabbing and that he also believes Jeffery was in a psychotic state at the instance of the stabbing. Pallandi explained Jeffery's cleaning of the crime scene as actions of someone that knew what they did was legally wrong but legal and moral wrongfulness are two different elements when determining criminal responsibility. Scott said the expert testimony provided by both Pallandi and Rootenberg to be reliable and persuasive. “Both psychiatrists opined that at the time of the offence, Beau Jeffery was suffering from hallucinations that drove him to cary out the offence,” Scott stated.

The justice added he did have concern with some of the evidence in the case including Jeffery's cleaning of the crime scene and the fact the young man mentioned a path that would declare him NCR in his mother's death to Pallandi. But other evidence led him to his finding including the fact Jeffery suffered a major mental disorder for a number of years, that he was resistant to take medication that could severely subdue his symptoms and that Jeffery's schizophrenia has manifested itself through delusions, hallucinations and disorganized thought Scott remanded Jeffery into the care of Providence Care, a secure mental health facility in Kingston until the Ontario Review Board is able asses him and plan a course of care. The Ontario Review Board will assess Jeffery on a regular basis until he is

deemed fit. The process generally takes several years and involves halfway housing prior to being fully discharged. Outside the court, defence attorney Chris Murphy said he was pleased with Scott's verdict, but wondered if the process of the ongoing trial didn't have residual effects. Murphy confirmed Beau Jeffery's actions had created a split in the Jeffery family to the point where father James Jeffery and daughters Sarah and Rachel are “barely speaking or not at all.” “And I wonder if this would be the case if we could have arrived at this NCR finding two years ago,” Murphy said. Murphy mentioned it was important to point out that while he committed the physical act that resulted in his mother's death, Beau Jeffery is not responsible for his mother's murder. He added finally that Jeffery was still an ill individual and would get the ongoing treatment he requires while under the care and direction of the Ontario Review Board. For his part, James Jeffery declined comment and referred reporters’ queries to his legal representative Joe Falconeri of Falconeri, Munro & Tucci. Falconeri told reporters Jeffery was launching a medical practice action suit against the hospitals and physicians that saw the young man in 2008 and 2010. “If Beau Jeffery would have been properly diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia when he first went to the Belleville Hospital, he would have been formed. If he would have been formed, he would have been treated. If he would have been treated, we wouldn't be here today,” Falconeri said.
