Panthers ace Bay of Quinte tennis competition PECI players earn medals in five categories to secure school’s first overall championship ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

Natural athleticism and dedication to practice resulted in the net gains the PECI Panthers were looking for as they captured the school’s first Bay of Quinte Confer-

ence tennis title last week. At Loyalist College last Thursday the Panthers claimed medals in each of the five categories they competed in. Sam Ward and Taylor Snider took gold in senior girls’ doubles. James

Pero and Blaine Swackhammer took silver in senior boys doubles, Brittany Payne and Isaac Cairns took silver in senior mixed doubles, and Tyler Allison was second in senior singles. Juniors Chloe MacDonald

and Livvy Rideout claimed bronze in doubles. Coach David Inch said he was really pleased with the improvement of all his athletes this season.

It looks like councillors are ready to take out the trash. Last week committee of the whole supported a motion that would see Prince Edward County become a community partner with Quinte Trash Bash. The motion says a county staff member and a community volunteer will represent the County on the organizing committee for Quinte Trash Bash 2017. The motion directs staff to include the municipal funding required to participate in next year's Quinte Trash Bash in the draft 2017 County budget for consideration. A staff report presented to the committee last week estimates a total budget of about $7,500. Additionally, the municipality could be hosting its own trash collection event this year. Committee of the whole included a clause in the motion directing staff to undertake a 2016 trash bash event initiated by the municipality and to provide a cost estimate for the initiative as soon as possible. The intent is to have the municipality announce the event and call

for volunteers to undertake the collection on a weekend. The motion will come before council for approval on May 24. This year's Quinte Trash Bash featured 1,500 participants in three communities. A total of eight large dumpsters and 14 recycling carts were collected. Business and school participation drew more than 600 volunteers and 500 bags of collected trash. Councillor Roy Pennell supported the initiative. “If we're talking $7,500 that is dirt cheap to bring a municipality back that depends on all the tourists — it looks like crap out there today,” he said. He said council shouldn't forget the efforts of residents in past trash bashes and the new event should be seen as a rejuvenation. Councillor Steve Ferguson said he too is disappointed with the state of county roadsides and ditches. “There are portions of South Marysburgh, North Marysburgh, and Athol that I've gone through that are just a disgrace,” he said.

Smith blasts leaked report suggesting phase out of natural gas heating in Ontario Prince Edward-Hastings MPP says Liberal plan is ‘10 times worse’ than Green Energy Act JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER

Prince Edward-Hastings MPP Todd Smith speaks at the Ontario Legislature for voters in this region but he may as well have been speaking for all the Ontarians who heat their home with natural gas when he called a proposed plan to phase out the natural resource as a home heating method as “asinine.” Smith blasted the Ontario government Tuesday, a day after the Globe and Mail reported that the Liberals were considering a $7-billion climate change action plan that would affect every aspect of life of the province's residents from what they commute with to ST R 1 OO T TD EN U O EV

how their homes and workplaces are heated. Among the plan's highlights, according to the report, are a phasing out of the natural gas heating system that more than 70 per cent of Ontarians currently utilize, incentives to retrofit buildings, rebates for drivers that buy electric cars and new building codes that require newly built homes to be heated by electricity or geothermal systems. The rebates, tax incentives, grants, subsidies, retrofit programs that will power the plan and reduce the province's carbon footprint over the coming decade are expected to be collected through a cap-andtrade system that would eventually be passed on to

rank-and-file Ontarians in the form of taxes and increased consumer costs. “It sounds absolutely crazy,” Smith told the Gazette Tuesday. Smith believes the document was leaked to the media by an Ontario cabinet minister who thinks some of his colleagues might have gone off the deep end and he didn't attempt to sugar coat the plan. “This plan is going to kill and devastate Ontario as bad as the Green Energy Act is — and it's done incredible damage to Ontario. This is 10 times worse. Hopefully someone comes to their senses before legislation is introduced.” Figures and assumptions were still being bandied

about this week as the full scope of the plan has yet to be figured but Smith could only imagine what this plan would mean to businesses, manufacturers and plants that were using natural gas to heat their facilities to stay competitive when compared to other jurisdictions. Competing jurisdictions continue to embrace low input costs as way to retain and attract businesses. “It's asinine. Big businesses are already leaving Ontario because of the Green Energy Act and the excessive red tape that exists. 350,000 manufacturing jobs are gone and now hundreds of thousands more are going to be gone. People are going to leave the province because its asinine the thing these guys are doing.” In terms of Ontario families, some experts in various media reports figured the increased cost to heat a home that was formerly heated with the most abundant and cleanest burning fossil fuel with electricity instead could reach $5,000 annually. “People every day are losing their homes and they can't pay their hydro bills and these aren't destitute people. Energy poverty is a real thing and people are

having to chose between heating and eating. Who would've thought we would reach this state in Ontario?” Combined, the cap-andtrade system and the 57page action plan are the crux of Ontario's strategy to cut emissions to 15 per cent below 1990 levels by 2020, 37 per cent by 2030 and 80 per cent by 2050. For Smith, the methods in which those targets are achieved come from idealogical decision makers

how have no grasp on the realities of living outside the City of Toronto. He said the Ontario PC plan is one that is revenue neutral for taxpayers and goes after the largest polluting businesses in the province. The plan likely to be tabled by the province exempts those big polluting businesses for the first five years. “But if you heat with natural gas, shame on you,” Smith said.

County Cider shares in benefit of selling bottles at Terroir marketplace Vendors appreciate chance to market their products to new clientele ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

For the past 11 years, the county's culinary community has looked forward to the Terroir festival and market to show off their creations and kick off a busy tourist season. On Saturday, Grant Howes and Jenifer Dean had reason to be a bit more excited than most as they set up their County Cider Company display to greet visitors — they were possibly making history. Two years ago, when their colleagues in the county beverage industry celebrated the province's decision to let Ontario VQA wineries sell their wares at farmers’ markets with Terroir the first such event to offer that freedom, the Waupoos-based company was absent. At that time, fruit wineries and cideries were not included. They couldn't benefit equally from off-site sales. "We haven't been here since they allowed VQA wines to be sold and not ciders, we just didn't think it was fair," Howes said. "As of May 1, we're allowed to do this as well. This is our first chance at selling cider in farmers’ markets and we're probably the first in Ontario to do it." Howes said it took a dedi-

cated effort to convince the government to allow the sale craft cider and fruit wine. Finally, the province relented in February. "In all honesty we really lobbied hard with the government to get a level playing field started. We're on our way to that. There's a long way to go still." Dean said County Cider filed its notice to sell bottles 10 days before Terroir and it received notice just two days before that it could proceed. Officials with the Prince Edward County Winegrowers Association checked the paperwork and gave their blessing

for the sales to take place. A pioneer and supporter in the local beverage industry, Howes said he was delighted to be able to join his peers in promoting Prince Edward County to visitors from across Ontario. "We're always happy to be back. We always like to spread the word about not only County Cider, but also about county wineries as well. It's going to be a great day even with the rain," he said. Howes indicated his company plans to attend markets in Wellington and Kingston this summer and it is also looking forward to placing

products in 19 Loblaws stores under the legislation. He said the global growth in demand for cider also appears to be very good for business. "Cider is one of the fastest growing categories globally and there's more competition," he said, adding that he's not concerned about the flood of big-name companies entering the sector. "I think it has pushed the tide up. Like everything, the good ones will rise to the top." The festival attracted more than 60 vendors, many of whom were returning from previous years. They, too, relished the opportunity to promote their wares to customers who may not know exactly what the county and their businesses have to offer. Tim Keupfer, of Broken Stone Winery, set up his tent with four samples including a special Reserve he was introducing. He said the variety featured the grapes he started growing in the county. He said the product spent more time aging in oak than most products he works on and he didn't intervene much or filter the product. His others, he said, were more conventional. People lined up tickets in hand to taste his bottles. He was optimistic about having a good day. "There's a lot of people around. This year there's been a bit more marketing done

with social media, so we'll see what happens," he said. "It's good for them to get a good sampling of a lot of wines very quickly and it's always a good day having a place to sell your wine. People taste it and they want to buy it." Keupfer said he likes to use the festival to draw people out to his winery in Hillier. Inside the Crystal Palace,

Rebecca Hunt of the catering company Picnic PEC was busy plating a tray of appetizing sandwiches, including her staple po' boy and a new fried chicken recipe. She said the very first event she did in the county was Terroir and three years later, she still enjoys coming back.

Ambulance contract tabbed for extension through 2019 Allocation of costs would not change under new deal with Hastings-Quinte CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

CALL FOR NOMINEES

The Sophiasburgh Recreation Committee is currently accepting nominations to join our very active and vibrant Recreation Committee as a voting member. All nominees must be residents of Sophiasburgh and/or own property or businesses in Sophiasburgh.

Most importantly, you must be eager and full of ideas that can come to fruition as we plan and execute events that bring our community closer together, and the County closer to our community. Please submit your nominations to Jo-anne Lewis (Secretary â&#x20AC;&#x201C; SRC) at joanne.lewis69@yahoo.ca by May 26, 2016. Voting will take place at the upcoming SRC Meeting of the Whole on May 27, 2016 (7pm at Sophiasburgh Town Hall in Demorestville).

The County could extend its contract with HastingsQuinte Paramedic Services next week. The municipality's current contract with the service expired on Dec. 31 last year, but had no impact on services. An extension that would take the contract from Jan.1 of this year to Dec. 31, 2019 was supported by committee of the whole at their meeting last week. A report presented to councillors at the meeting says Hastings County has provided land ambulance services within Prince Edward County since 2004. Hastings-Quinte Paramedic Services provides advanced care paramedic and primary

The municipality budgeted $2,458,758 for land ambulance services in 2016. The process for allocating costs will not change with the agreement. The report says costs related to vehicle maintenance and repair for ambulances dedicated to Prince Edward County are charged at actual cost. Shared costs would be charged to the municipality proportionally based on the item. For example, Prince Edward County would be responsible for about 19.5 per cent of administration costs based on headcount and telephone and communications costs are based on the number of bases, meaning the county would pay about 16.7 per cent of the total cost. Hastings-Quinte Paramedic Services chief John

O'Donnell outlined the service's calls and response times to councillors at the meeting. O'Donnell said as much as the service wants to improve response times, the county's geography makes it challenging. He said each year the service must submit to the province a prediction of response times in various categories on the Canadian Triage and Acuity Scale (CTAS). CTAS is a tool that allows emergency services to prioritize patient needs. For this calendar year, O'Donnell said the service predicted it will be able to respond to sudden cardiac arrest calls within six minutes 35 per cent of the time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When this format changed several years ago we started up around 50 per cent of the time. We felt we could get that because it was a new system,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We weren't very long figuring out that it was kind of unrealistic in a rural area like we have.â&#x20AC;? O'Donnell said last year the service was able to be on scene for sudden cardiac arrest calls 43 per cent of the time within six minutes and 55 per cent of the time within seven minutes in Hastings County. Last year in Prince Edward County the service was able to be on scene within six minutes 24 per cent of the time, and within eight minutes 47 per cent of the time for sudden cardiac arrest calls.

Fresh For All attracts more growers as it enters second year helping food banks Program supplies nutritious produce clients couldn’t access previously ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

Across Prince Edward and Hastings counties the number of people growing produce to help shrink the number of people living with food insecurity is on the rise. On Monday, growers and supporters gathered at Lakeshore Farms west of Wellington to kick off the second growing season for Fresh For All. The initiative encourages people to plant extra fruit and vegetables in their gardens to give to area food banks and meal programs. 'It really was the best thing to hit our food bank," said Linda Downey, the president of Wellington's Storehouse Foodbank. "We've had pounds of food come in." Downey said the number of growers in the western part of the county has swelled with 33 people she knows about committed to producing food for Storehouse, though she noted some people have left their donations anonymously with little fanfare, so that number might actually be higher. According to Downey, the donations of fresh produce allow food bank clients to eat healthier because that type of food would generally be more expensive and it is perishable. Now, they may have better access to raw food at Storehouse, the Picton United Church Food Bank (PUC-

nutritious meals for foodbank clientele. Donations from Fresh For All also support the Food Not Bombs meal program. PUCCFB volunteer Ellen Brownbill agreed the program helps supply nutritious food. "We have a lot of clients who wouldn't have had access to this kind of food if not for this," she said, adding initiatives like Fresh For All also raise awareness of the need within the community.

Fresh For All co-chair Steve Van de Hoef said credit for the resulting program doesn't lie with any particular organization, but with the entire community.

COMMENTARY

Possible transition from natural gas doesn’t make sense for Ontario

WHETHER one calls it a ban, a phasing out, or some other terminology the Ontario government may yet produce, the likelihood remains the province appears to be considering a climate-change plan that will not necessarily produce positive outcomes for the environment or for the economy. The discussion paper leaked to the Globe and Mail this week suggests the province is considering ways to shift new construction and eventually all homes and buildings in the province away from heating with natural gas — a source reportedly used to heat close to three-quarters of the province’s homes. To do so, the province must be relying on its residents and businesses to look at alternative forms of heating. Advancement in geothermal technology may help to drive installation prices down and make it a attractive solution for more people — those who have installed systems have found they’ve driven down costs over time. The promotion of energy conservation and the idea of providing incentives for property owners to better insulate their buildings could also provide an environmental benefit and a potential for savings, but those residents would still have to use some form of heating. Ultimately, there would be an impact on the environment. Is there enough benefit there for the government to invest heavily in this type of solution? It’s something to consider. Then, of course, there’s the talk from the Ontario PCs and other commentators that many people would be forced to switch to electric heating. That’s where the problem would arise. One could see the argument that by switching to electricity for heating, the province would have more demand for the energy it produces and it wouldn’t have to sell off millions of dollars worth of

power to the United States at a loss. Without overproduction, excess might be eliminated and the system might run more efficiently. It would also mean a number of homes wouldn’t be burning fossil fuels. Unfortunately, that theory is foiled by the province’s failure to realize that it’s green energy policy is badly flawed. Despite the province’s best hopes to convince everyone otherwise, industrial wind and solar power isn’t reliable year-round. While it would be nice to think renewable energy could pick up the slack and allow enough power for people to heat with and to run their appliances and electronics, it is intermittent. When it needs to be supported, backup generation is required. A good portion of that generation comes from nuclear power, but also some 28 per cent of Ontario’s current generating capacity is from natural gas. The province is also building two costly natural gasfired plants it relocated from the Greater Toronto Area to Napanee and to Sarnia. If renewables can’t do the job (not to mention they’re costlier when they do access the grid to begin with) and if people continue to balk at nuclear, then what’s left? More natural gas generation would power the electricity system and it’s debateable if it would be any greener or cheaper. That’s not even factoring in the high cost of recent investments to strengthen infrastructure related to natural gas distribution within the province. An increasing number of Ontario residents are already dealing with energy poverty following years of bad-handed policy. We wonder if it’s worth putting them at further peril to chase an ideology that won’t necessarily make it any better, while all the while big polluters continue to do so. It’s clear the province needs more discussion before it decides to take further action.

The Picton Gazette

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Citizens made mistake in allowing company to set up on harbour

Over the past two years Picton Terminals, the organization asking for $10 million in taxpayer dollars (Gazette May 5) has devastated Picton harbour. To build the port they call the “gateway to the world economy” they have dumped tons of rock into the harbour claiming they own 300 feet of the water. They have built a road over environmentally sensitive land in Hallowell Mills Cove. They have contaminated neighbouring property with salt run off. Every day salt leaches into the harbour from the mountains of uncovered salt on their property. They pollute the air with cement dust unloaded from rusted-out tankers from Greece. They admit in their publications

they have a problem with noise pollution and have asked for bylaw variances. They plan to bring a least a hundred ships a year into the harbour from which the residents of Picton drink their water. One would expect that a business that causes so much damage would be shuttered as an archaic, polluting concept in a planet looking to reduce such activity. So why has it allowed to operate? First off, our politicians, desperate to create employment in order to increase the tax base have supported the idea. Here is the reality. Ben Doornekamp has bragged that his company can unload a tanker with one operator when the terminal is fully functional. No

employment there. There is a hope that there will spin off employment in the agricultural industry. But unless there are huge terminals built to store grain, this will never happen. Here is another reality check. If cement can be brought in by tanker from Greece (two have arrived to date), cheaper than we can make it here how long before the cement plants in Picton and Bath are shuttered. That is the reality of the world economy. Look to the rusted out factories throughout the U.S. that have been destroyed by world trade. The second reason that this unfortunate business has flourished is that the owners have seized an opportunity to exploit the resources of

this area. The Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Natural Resources have turned a deaf ear to complaints using the catchy phrase, “we are not in the business of putting business out of business.” Picton Terminals, in their publications, like to talk about how much truck traffic they will take off Ontario roads. Unfortunately what they don’t tell us is that all that traffic will now go up County Rd. 49. Already thousands of trucks are leaving the terminals, punishing our highway and polluting our air. However, if blame must be applied for this disaster, don’t blame Doornekamp. He is a businessman who has

found his opportunity. Don’t blame the politicians. They are only trying to find ways to keep taxes down. If blame is to meted out — and it should be — look in the mirror. Beautiful Picton harbour is being destroyed because we, the citizens, have allowed it to happen. Maybe our attention was being distracted by the threat to the Blanding's turtle and we somehow missed the monster that has invaded our harbour. What was once the showpiece of our county is gone and we have no one to blame but ourselves. The ultimate irony is that Doornekamp wants us to pay $10 million for our mistake. Dave Mackay Picton

Family of Fort McMurray evacuees attend fundraiser in Picton Smith attempts

Members of the Yuill family who safely escaped the fires in Fort McMuray were in Picton Sunday taking part in a car wash, barbecue and bake sale family and friends organized to raise money. “It’s so overwhelming and so wonderful, it’s good to be here with friends and family,” said Shelley Yuill. “The outpouring has been amazing.” Shelley and her husband Kevin, their adult son Adam and his wife Aimy were able to come back to Ontario along with Adam and Aimy’s children. They also managed to bring four pets out safely. Their daughter Becca was safe in St. Albert, Alberta. She indicated they lived in Beacon Hill and though many homes were damaged or destroyed, theirs appeared to be in good condition. “We were lucky that way, but it was so devastatingly sad for everyone else,” she said. She indicated Kevin was planning to return to Fort McMurray this week as he works in the oil industry and attempts are being made to

to fill transport for fire relief

Despite cold winds, rain, and hail, the fundraiser at the Picton fire hall was busy throughout the afternoon and

visitors were quite generous.

Prince Edward-Hastings MPP Todd Smith has partnered with Max Haggerty of International Truckload Services to try to fill a transport with supplies for the Alberta fire relief effort. Smith’s constituency office staff is co-ordinating with Belleville firefighters to load the trailer, which is located at the Electrolab Building at 335 University Avenue in Belleville. Operation Pack 4 Fort Mac is seeking baby items (food, formula, diapers, and wipes), blankets, pillows and towels, toiletries (new toothpaste, tooth brushes, feminine hygiene products, shampoo, conditioner, and hair brushes), thick work socks for firefighters, new clothing and shoes, garbage bags, cleaning supplies, nonprescription medicine, nonperishable pet food and pet supplies. The trailer will be open from noon to six each weekday until it is full. -Staff

From Internet safety, to Wi-Fi access, to 3D printing, library has tech covered

As technology evolves, technology is more embedded in our daily lives. The PEC Library recognizes the importance of the technology and the need for internet access, computer access, digital literacy, and internet safety. These needs are growing and we are here to help make sure that everyone can access the technology they need. In recent weeks, I’ve visited each of our six branches to update all our public computers to keep them working smoothly for your use. In addition to our computer updates and maintenance, we also offer 24/7 Wi-Fi access at all library branches. This service is not restricted by any passwords, and you don’t need to have a library card (though we would love you to join us). So even though we are not open 24/7, you can still surf the web outside any branch with a

INSIDE THE LIBRARY Julie Lane

phone, tablet, or laptop computer. With the access we provide to high-speed Internet and technological resources, we will be offering internet safety workshops. The next session is scheduled for Tuesday May 31, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the Wellington library branch. The session will

discuss how to identify email scams, telephone scams, and how you can protect yourself while still using the internet and your computer. The sessions are drop in and there will be a question-and-answer session after the discussion. In addition to Internet safety, patrons can be surprised by some of the things they can learn at the library. Something we are asked in the technology resource centre is “What is that noise?” as our MakerBot 3D printer is running. The next most common question is “What is its purpose?” We have had many people in doing 3D printing, and not just printing knick-knacks. Loyalist College students come to print prototypes of tools for the manufacturing programs, some print birthday gifts for their friends, and we even printed a tape dispenser holder because ours

broke! Library staff are here to help you explore web sites for downloading public domain 3D printing designs and to help you set up a time to print your project. Prints must be less than six hours and cost $1 plus three cents per minute of the print. We hope to see you in to either the Picton or the Wellington library branches to check it out. Speaking of 3D printing, we have some amazing summer programs in the works for the coming months. The technology resource centre will be contributing to the range of activities by including programs in 3D design and printing, stop motion animation, green screen filmmaking, and computer trouble shooting. So stay tuned to this column for the tech-mazing news coming your way. We are also pleased to announce that thanks to

overwhelming demand we are have purchased a laminator. Once it is up and running at the Picton Branch, patrons will be able to use it to laminate signs, images, and documents in addition to the copying, scanning, printing, and faxing services we already offer at our library branches. Do you have questions or want to know more about our many tech services? Please feel free to call me at 613-476-5962 or send an email to jlane@peclibrary.org. And don’t forget to join us on Saturday, May 21 from noon to 6 p.m. Together with 99.3 County FM, we’ll be rocking out at the much-anticipated Jam with Sir John, Eh! event on Main Street. Come blow bubbles with contraptions made using the library’s 3D printer and celebrate the Victoria Day long weekend with us!

The Picton Gazette Picton Rotarians plan to keep proceeds of May 29 event in community

Lilac Ride to support literacy development ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

Cyclists riding in the third annual Rotary Lilac Ride May 29 will be raising money for literacy. Picton Rotarians are working toward a strategy to support literacy development and ride organizer James Barkman noted the ride will help to promote that goal. "Our proceeds are going to literacy in Prince Edward County," he said. Barkman added that since the start and finish site for the ride has moved from the Prince Edward Curling Club to the Rotary Hall at the Prince Edward Community Centre, the ride will also provide an opportunity for literacy-focused organizations to raise awareness. "Since we have some more space, we're going to have displays from groups that work with literacy like the (Recreation Outreach Centre), the Hub, and the Prince Edward Learning Centre," he said. Beyond the beneficiary and the location, Barkman said few things have changed leading up to this year's events. There have been minor alterations to

some of the routes — riders can select a 27-kilometre, 57kilometre, or 100-kilometre course — which primarily run north of Picton toward Big Island and Green Point, but riders can expect the same experience. Barkman said the club has contacted all of last year's riders by e-mail and it has also sent messages to cycling clubs from Toronto through to Ottawa in hopes of getting people out to see the county.

Kingston, Port Hope, Whitby, Belleville, and Prince Edward. They're all over the place," he said. "We're trying really hard to promote it." While Barkman said actual registrations are a bit down this year, he knows a number of people planning to ride who have not yet registered. He also said in years past the ride has been dependent on weather and last-minute entries are not uncommon. "We went from 74 riders in the first year to 144 last year. On the event day last year, we had 40 people show up the day of. It was a lot. The year before, the morning of, 43 registered," he said. "You don’t know. We'll see what the weather is going to be like." Barkman said he was hopeful that with the May 24 holiday weekend falling later this year, there would be time for lilacs to be in bloom before the race date, traditionally one week after the long weekend. Registration is $50 and it is available online at www.pictonrotary.ca. Those registering in advance can pay through PayPal, while registration the day of will be cash only. Refreshments will be available along the route and a post-ride barbecue will be provided. Riders are eligible for a charitable tax receipt for half the price of registration.

Wellington Alzheimer walk raises $6,000

Wet weather didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deter walkers from showing up at the Wellington Park in support of the Alzheimer Society of Hastings-Prince Edward Saturday afternoon. About 70 people turned up for the second walk in the village to raise over $6,000, which will be used to offer support services to families in the county living with dementia. The walk was also the second Walk For Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Prince Edward County this year as an earlier fundraiser was held at PECI at the end of January. Fund development coordinator Nicola Crenna stressed the importance of having strong supports available due to the demographics of the county. She indicated that in the 2011 Census, a quarter of the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population was over age 65 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a 15-per-cent increase over the 2006 Census data, with the average age expected to rise. Statistic suggest that one in every 10 people over 65 will be diagnosed with some form of dementia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That puts local numbers at approximately 600 individuals in our community,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The number of people we serve in Prince Edward County continues to increase, and as an area where a large portion of the population is over 65, this number will continue to grow.â&#x20AC;? In the past year, the amalgamated society directly served over 1,100 clients and offered workshops, training, and education sessions that reached more than 3,500 people through Prince

Edward County, Hastings County, and Brighton. Less than 40 per cent of the societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual budget is provided by government funds, forcing staff members and volunteers to raise funds to provide service to families, professionals, and caregivers. Crenna noted students from C.M.L. Snider School were helpful in making the event a success, with Susan Rossâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Grade 5-6 class and Lisa Kulcher-Heaneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Grade 3 class acting as student ambassadors. The band The Fiddleheads entertained with their energetic Celtic music, while Gina Peers helped to warm up participants before they headed out for their walk. The Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Drumming Circle from Picton was also on hand to start the walkers on their way. The Cherry Valley Lions Club provided food in the park. -Staff

Fire dispatch to switch July 12

County fire chief Scott Manlow said the department will switch its dispatch operations to the new Picton station on McDonald Drive July 12. At a Picton Rotary meeting last week, Manlow said Bell Canada recently told him that’s the date it would flip the switch for 911 calls to be sent to the new station. The station has a substantial completion date of June 1 for 97 per cent of work to be done. Occupancy is expected by June 30. Hastings-Quinte Paramedic Services are expected to move in Aug. 15.

Paramedics service receives 30,352 calls in 2015, up 5.5 per cent DEAL, from page 4

For CTAS 1 calls — which are the most serious on the CTAS scale — O'Donnell predicted a response time within eight minutes 50 per cent of the time. For CTAS 2 O'Donnell predicted a response time of 10 minutes 65 per cent of the time, for CTAS 3 15 minutes 65 per cent of the time, for CTAS 4 20 minutes 65 per cent of the time and for CTAS 5 calls 25 minutes 65 per cent of the time. He said the service received 30,352 total calls in -Staff 2015, about 20,735 of which

were serious or life-threatening. “Our call volumes are going up,” O'Donnell said. “Last year we were up an average of about 5.5 per cent. On 30,000 calls that's a pretty significant number.” O'Donnell said the Ontario Ambulance Act legislates that the closest vehicle must respond to emergencies. As a result, sometimes Hastings Countybased ambulances serve Prince Edward and vice versa. “If there is a call in the north end of the county and it's faster for a Hastings

vehicle to get there, that's the vehicle that goes there,” he said. He said in some counties that would result in a billing situation between borders, but those calls are covered under the municipal contract. Prince Edward Countystationed paramedic vehicles responded to a total of 3,259 calls in 2015 with about 2,335 being serious. County-stationed vehicles responded to about 2,013 calls in Prince Edward County with about 1,951 being serious or life-threatening.

“There's very low volume of low priorities done (in Prince Edward County),” O'Donnell said. O'Donnell plotted about a third of the total calls on the service's mapping system to illustrate the distribution of calls across Prince Edward County. Calls originating from the western portion of Prince Edward County (including Wellington) were estimated at about 27 per cent, while calls originating from the north amounted to approximately 24 per cent. About 46 per cent of calls came from the Picton area in 2015.

“Because the hospital is (in Picton) we do a large volume of transfers out of this hospital to tertiary centres like Belleville and Trenton sometimes and to Kingston and Ottawa,” O'Donnell said. Hastings County-stationed vehicles responded to a total of 1,837 calls in Prince Edward County in 2015. Hastings vehicles responded to about 632 or about 24 per cent of emergency calls in Prince Edward County. O'Donnell said county-stationed vehicles respond to 300-400 calls outside of the municipality per year.

Maybe these meals are for you. A senior once said to me “I used to deliver Meals on Wheels to other people, but I didn’t think to ask for them for myself when I got older”. Think about this carefully. It would be quite unfortunate if just a little bit of help was needed but wasn’t asked for. Seniors who fall into that “tea and toast” routine can become

10-20 meals each month. We are committed to providing hot meals to seniors living anywhere in the county. Community Care has wonderful volunteers who deliver meals rain or shine, through sleet and snow, 365 days of the year. These caring volunteers will not be stopped in their goal to get the meals delivered. Did you know that volunteers live longer, healthier, happier lives? Studies prove this. Helping others helps you. You may refer someone who needs meals delivered to their home or you can call to receive the meals yourself. Call Community Care at 613476-7493.

Why not just call and arrange to try the hot or frozen meals? Call today. Community Care’s friendly and highly trained staff will talk to you about this and the many other services available to provide that bit of help that can mean the difference to whether you can live at home. You can choose your favourites from a menu of over 50 frozen entrees. These frozen meals are low in sodium and prepared especially for seniors. Special diets such as diabetic or gluten free are available. The meals are delivered every three weeks. There’s no limit to the number of meals, desserts, soups and even breakfasts that a person can order. Most people order

Imagine a carefully screened volunteer walking up to the door of your home carrying a wicker basket and inside the basket is a hot meal for you to enjoy. Community Care can arrange to have hot meals delivered right to the door of seniors. The brief visit from our volunteer is also a security check because if the senior doesn’t come to the door a follow up is always undertaken by office staff. We also have frozen meals that can be ordered in advance and kept on hand to have just in case you’re having a down day, or a day when arthritis has flared up and meal preparation is out of the question. It doesn’t matter why you’re having a problem preparing your own meals. Perhaps you don’t feel like it, or there’s arthritis in your hands that creates issues when preparing food. Maybe a chronic disease requires a special diet and preparing that meal is just too difficult. This is where Community Care comes in. We want you to know that these meals aren’t just for other seniors.

County would ensure volunteers are trained and protected during clean-up TRASH, from page 1

The amending motion to undertake a trash collection event this year in the county was put forward by councillor Jamie Forrester and seconded by Ferguson. “We need to clean our roads, so let's do it,” Forrester

said. Councillor Janice Maynard agreed. “There is a huge issue on the roads and it's not getting any better,” she said. “It's a job that needs to be done.” The report says as a community partner in the 2017 Quinte Trash Bash, the munic-

ipality would be responsible for the cost of collection bins and the cost to drop them off and pick them up. The municipality would also cover staff time and truck costs for the pickup of large or hazardous items, the cost for banners, the cost for staff at drop-off sites, and costs for recognition for

volunteers at drop-off sites. Quinte West volunteer representative Eldon Burchart and City of Belleville green coordinator Becky MacWhirter gave councillors an overview of the responsibilities of a community partner in Quinte Trash Bash. Each partner is responsible

for organizing the event within their community and for co-ordinating with other participating communities. Each community helps to find sponsors for the region-wide event who will contribute to advertising costs and collection kits. Every participating community is also responsible

for registering participants to help collect statistics on the number of volunteers and locations for the clean-up. The report says registration also helps ensure the volunteers receive health and safety information. The report says a trash bash was offered in Prince Edward County for two decades through volunteers with the Prince Edward Round Table on the Economy and the Environment (PERTEE). That group, with assistance from sponsors — including the municipality — provided registration for groups and roads, plastic bags, gloves, signage, and organized a barbecue following the event. The report says the group's efforts were lauded in 2008 by Pitch-In Canada and PERTEE was given the Clean World Award for Organizations. By that time the event had grown to around 900 volunteers who cleaned about 636 kilometres of road. In 2010 the event became Pitch-In Prince Edward County and was organized to combine with the County Sustainability Group to fundraise for the PECI environmental bursary fund. The report says in 2014 the volunteers were advised the municipality had no funding to assist with the collection and disposal of the trash. “The volunteers would be personally responsible to cover the costs of the bins for collection and for any staff time to assist with the event,” the report says. “The volunteers did not want to commit to personally paying these costs and so the event was cancelled.” Subsequently there were no trash collection events in Prince Edward County in 2014 or 2015. Engineering, development and works Commissioner Robert McAuley said he wasn't aware of any specific issues with funding, saying the issue that led to the discontinuation of the county trash bash was related to liability. “The issue that caused the stumble was the whole process of liability, training, management — that kind of thing was not in place and the volunteer group was not prepared to put it in place,” he said. “Until there was some kind of overarching roadside occupancy network, we said we couldn't support doing it.” He said the situation with Quinte Trash Bash would be different as that group already has such training and management in place. As for the municipality's own trash bash in 2016, McAuley said the municipality would ensure volunteers are trained and protected. The report says the next steps include having staff attend the Quinte Trash Bash 2016 debrief meeting to learn about the successes and challenges of this year's event before planning for 2017. Staff will then recruit a volunteer representative to attend meetings and assist with organization and begin a process of sourcing sponsors to assist with costs for advertising and collection equipment. Staff would also begin working on logistics, collection locations, and registration locations with volunteer representatives.

Vendors receive follow-up business from festival displays TERROIR, from page 3

"It's really nice because it's sort of one-stop shopping for people from out of town," she said. "You have a representation of wineries and local restaurants. It really showcase the best of what is happening here." Hunt said at events throughout the summer, she often hears from people who saw her at Terroir. In some cases, she's even been able to alert people to those events because of her time there. While those spin-offs are nice, she said she measures success by the amount of people trying her food. "I'll tell you how successful it was by how many tickets I have at the end of the day," she said, adding with the extra marketing this year, she was hoping for numbers to double. Local MPP Todd Smith also took in the event. Offering a toast early in the day,

Tender for new street sweeper comes in under allocated budget

The municipality may soon have a new tool to clean county streets. A motion awarding the tender for a new street sweeper to Superior Roads Solutions in the amount of $205,735 plus applicable taxes was supported by councillors at last week's committee of the whole meeting. The motion will go before council on May 24 for approval. The purchase of the sixwheeled mechanical street sweeper was included in the 2016 capital budget at an

estimated price of $237,000. A report presented to the committee last week says after rebates the purchase price for the street sweeper is $209,356 — a savings of $27,644 in the budget. The cost was tabbed to come from the municipality's reserve for roads equipment. The report says the municipality received three tenders for the machine with Superior Roads Solutions being the lowest bidder. -Chad Ibbotson, Staff

Foley, Bellehumeur to return to Ride to Conquer Cancer Paramedic, OPP constable raising money for Princess Margaret by cycling June 11-12 JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER

Two members of a team participating in Canada's largest cycling fundraising ride will be looking for the community's support Saturday. Local paramedic Mike Foley and Prince Edward OPP constable Troy Bellehumeur are longstanding members of the 40-man 'Paramedics for a Cure,” a team that has participated in The Ride To Conquer Cancer which is a 200-km trek from Toronto to Niagara and back on June 11 and 12. In its nine years, the Ride to Conquer Cancer has raised $138 million in support of the Princess Margaret Hospital, one of the top five cancer research centres in the world. In order to participate, each cyclist is required to raise a minimum of $2500 and to assist with their fundraising efforts, the local cyclists are having a fundraising event Saturday at the Picton Esso between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. involving an outdoor cycling spin, barbecue, and raffle. In addition to those efforts, The Acoustic Grill will be serving up a special steak meal all day for $25 with all proceeds going to assist with The Ride To Conquer Cancer. Foley, who is taking part for the eighth time, said cancer touches home and that's what keeps him taking part year after year. “I've lost my father and my aunt to cancer and I deal with this disease a lot through my work so it's something that's very important to me,” he said. Bellehumeur will be receiving a 'golden helmet' next month as the mark of a five year participant. Like Foley, cancer has touched him also. “I've lost my sister-in-law to cancer and my mother-inlaw and my father-in-law are cancer survivors,” Belle-

humeur explained. “Cancer touches us all and while we personally will never find a cure, we can take this on to help those that will find a cure.” Acoustic Grill owner Steve Purtelle said he was eager to help Foley and

Bellehumeur in their drive to raise cancer fighting dollars locally. “These guys have done a great job and they've raised a lot of money to fight cancer in this community and they deserve our support. We will have steaks on all

day for $25,” he added. Picton Esso owner Surat Atwaul added that cancer touches everyone and pointed to long-time employee Gary Davidson who lost his daughter Brenda to cancer . “It certainly hits home,” he said.

There's an exciting plan for 2016 when it comes to County museums and it starts this weekend. That was the message delivered by members of the municipality's museum advisory committee at last week's committee-of-the-whole meeting. Advisory committee members Nancy Woods and Suzanne O'Connor gave councillors an overview of the 2015 season, as well as a look ahead to what's planned for county heritage sites this year. Woods and O'Connor said May is Museum Month and the County Museums are planning a “Welcome Weekend” this Saturday, May 21 and Sunday, May 22. “We have a new passport program. We'd like people to know that's going to be available,” Woods said. “You will pay one fee and as you move from site to site you will get a stamp in your passport. When

you get all five stamps we'll have a special gift for you.” Woods said the passport events will roll out this weekend and others are expected to follow this summer. She said the advisory committee is feeling positive about what's in store this year. “We're very excited about the 2016 season coming up,”

said Woods. She said the museums will be using their new logo and branding this year. The museums will also benefit from additional staffing for collections software and records, and maintenance and custodial support this summer, along with the new assistant curator pilot project.

“Having additional staffing along with our new assistant curator pilot project is just amazing,” Woods said. “It has been a number of years that we have been asking for that kind of support.” Throughout the summer the museums will be undertaking cemetery repairs at Macaulay Heritage Park and at Ameliasburgh Heritage Village the 1830s log cab will be rehabilitated. A number of pop-up exhibits are planned for this summer as well. Clio's Book Club for historical fiction and nonfiction will continue and all museum sites will have new exhibits. The 2015 season was a good one for the museums. The County's five museums and 35 buildings and structures were overseen by one full time staff member, two seasonal staff, and eight student staff members in 2015. The sites also benefitted from about 4,544 volunteer hours last years from approximately 150 volunteers. The sites saw 423 student visits through 106 operating days. “We'd like to let you know that 2015 was a great season,” Woods told councillors. “Thanks to the hard work of staff and volunteers we continue to move forward.” Last year the museums hosted a total of 11,843 visitors, up from 10,736 in 2011. “Over the last five years our visitor trends have been moving up and we're hoping that's a trend that continues,” Woods said. Through 2015 the museum advisory committee developed a new 2015–2018 strategic plan, changed the name of Ameliasburgh Historical Museum and Pioneer Village to Ameliasburgh Heritage Village, and presented a formalized plan for the de Vries taxidermy collection. Councillor Bill Roberts, who is a council representative on the advisory committee along with councillor Steve Ferguson, said it was important for council to recognize how hard the County museums are working to adapt to the changing role of museums. He noted the Ontario Museum Association's Ontario's Museums 2025: Looking Ahead strategic vision and action plan. Woods said the new strategic plan for the County museums is a much more forward looking document than the museums have presented in the past. “We know we need to move forward and use the tools that young people are familiar with,” Woods said. “Your hands-on, your technology, your databases and all the things you can do on websites and through social media these days are ways we can find new audiences and little by little that will benefit the system as a whole.” She said the advisory committee has been taking time in their own meetings to look at the Ontario's Museums 2025 document to get an idea of what museums will look like in the future.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Two things popped out at us very quickly at our first session and that was our strategic plan is more in line with the provincial thinking than we thought it might be,â&#x20AC;? Woods said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And that things we're going to do over the next four or five years are in line with what the province would like museums to be doing. When that's settled we'll be well on our way to being in the right place.â&#x20AC;? Woods said councillors can expect to see the museum advisory committee to be back before committee of the whole throughout this year to present some of those new plans and oppor-

tunities. Ferguson said he's been a member of the museum advisory committee for six years. He said while some topics may not seem exciting, that doesn't mean people aren't excited about them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You may view some of the initiatives as somewhat dry, but the passion of the members of the advisory committee and the museum staff is quite remarkable,â&#x20AC;? he said. The museums regularly host speakers, speakers series, and travelling exhibits throughout the county. Additionally, the sites host music, festivals, plays, weddings, and walking tours. The museums also work with other groups in the county â&#x20AC;&#x201D; such as the

Injured/Orphaned Wildlife?

Prince Edward Historical Society and Archives, Quinte Educational Museum and Archives, History Lives Here, and the PEC Barn Quilt Trail â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to promote history. The museums have events planned throughout the year. In June and July they will host fish fries, September will feature Homesteading and Harvest Fest and tastings and samplings will take place though June, November and December.

He said it is really easy for people to become involved. "It's easy to plant an extra row, or when you harvest, if you've grown more than you need, give some of that to the food bank," he said. He noted farmers have been pleased they don't have to till produce they can't sell back into the soil. While any fresh produce can be accepted, root vegetables or plants that can be easily handled and stored are recommended. That may include

Some had herb gardens and fresh items like dill, basil, or thyme were useful in cooking. She said last year Storehouse received more chard and kale than they had demand for. Those items were used in cooking or taken to other food banks.

Field naturalists to host biodiversity tour on south shore Sunday

The Prince Edward County Field Naturalists are inviting the public to celebrate the International Day for Biological Diversity this Sunday. The annual celebration has been proclaimed by the United Nations in order to increase understanding and awareness of biodiversity issues. This year’s theme is “mainstreaming biodiversity; sustaining people and their livelihoods.” “Biodiversity is the foundation for life and for the

essential services provided by ecosystems,” said Braulio Ferreira de Souza Dias, the executive secretary of the UN Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity in a release. “It therefore underpins peoples’ livelihoods and sustainable development in all areas of activity, including economic sectors such as agriculture, forestry, fisheries and tourism, among others. By halting biodiversity loss, we are investing in

Street parking lot in Picton, then continue to Point Petre. There will be stops at the Miller Family Nature Reserve and the Ostrander Point Crown land block before proceeding to the Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory. There, participants can observe bird banding demonstrations as part of the observatory’s annual Spring Birding Festival and enjoy lunch. -Staff

donors that contribute at various levels monthly to the operation of the station. “Just over 50 per cent of our revenue comes through donations and grants and we need to keep that level of support up if we want to continue to offer the level of programming people expect from us,”

County FM general manager Deb Simpson explained. In honour of this campaign, the station is hosting a 'Jam With Sir John, Eh!' concert starting at 12 p.m. and running until 6 p.m. There will be giveaways as well as orange County FM bracelets that will signify sup-

port of the station and make the wearer eligible for huge savings at participating downtown merchants. “With the downtown construction, we really wanted to make sure we supported our local businesses so we've brought this concert to the heart of Picton,” Simpson said. Ben Vandergaast kicks off the show at noon and the lineup includes the Zeds, Instant Rivalry, the Reasons, and closes out with the Frere Brothers, Andrew Franey and D'ari and Mel from Villas.

Pine cone willow galls provide protection for larva and are best removed from plants and destroyed

I recently got a photograph via a text message from a friend asking about the little growths that looked like pine cones on her sister’s tree. She said they were soft and cottony not like a pine cone which is rigid and that they grew on a deciduous plant. She brought three of them to my house so I could get a close-up view and even dissect one of them. My curiosity was up. I had never seen anything quite like it; this little fuzzy thing that resembles a small pine cone of about 2 cm long. It looked as though it was part of the plant as he had a stem that was twig-like and so I could understand how her sister would think that they would eventually “bloom” into something lovely on her little “tree”. Since she did not know what the shrub or little tree

that these little growths occurred on, I didn’t have the benefit of researching the plant to see what it might be. My friend and fellow Master Gardener, Sandy Goranson, said she thought it might be a gall of some sort and she was right. It was pine cone willow gall which I located after some searching of the Internet. A subject I will come back to later in this article. A gall is an abnormal, localized outgrowth or swelling of plant tissue caused by infection from bacteria, fungi, viruses and nematodes or irritation by insects or mites. Galls are usually

roundish and obvious by looking at them that they are not a part of the plant. The pine cone willow gall is confusing because it looks like a pine cone and is attached by a twig-like stem. This gall is caused by an insect, a small fly called a gall gnat midge (Rabdophaga strobiloides). In the summer this fly deposits an egg on the stem. The new larva secrets a substance on the stem which causes the willow to build a multi-layered chamber that would have been leaves had stem growth not been arrested. This structure provides winter protection for larva which will emerge sometime in the spring time as a gnat when the weather turns warm again. Often wasp-like parasites will invade the chamber, killing the larvae. While this gall will not kill the plant, it

will arrest growth wherever leaves would have been and therefore it is not beneficial. Unless the gardener is interested in observing the process of gall formation and the resulting emergence of gnats it is best removed and destroyed. I often use the Internet as a research resource but I am cautious about when I believe the information to be accurate and when I do not. In this particular case, I first came across a blog. This blog had a photograph of the pine cone willow gall from a gardener wondering what it was. There were no accurate answers, including the one that said she thought it was a spider cocoon. People who contribute to blogs are not necessarily qualified to offer scientifically based information. Well intentioned though bloggers are, be wary of taking anything as fact. There are very good gardening web sites out there, often sponsored by horticultural societies that specialize in one type of plant, i.e. the iris society, the daffodil society, et

cetera. I always trust university or college horticultural sites. I try to use societies and academic organizations that are located in areas that closely resemble our growing seasons and conditions. Using the University of Florida web site (for instance) to identify the hardiness of a plant growing in southern Ontario would not be wise. I find Ohio and Illinois to be close to our growing conditions and often visit those university web sites first. There is a wealth of excellent information in cyberspace but please be cautious about what you accept as valid. The Prince Edward County Master Gardeners chapter

has grown significantly since I joined it 10 plus years ago. A few years after joining and receiving my certification, I approached the Gazette with my idea of writing a column in the spring, summer and fall. I was enthusiastically welcomed and have enjoyed my experience with the Gazette and with the readers of the column immensely. It’s time now to give other Master Gardeners a chance. Goranson will continue to head up the effort so you will see many of her excellent columns in the paper in the future as you get introduced to other highly qualified Master Gardeners in our county. I am retiring from this writing gig on a regular basis, but you may occasionally see a column from me. Send your gardening questions to askamastergardener@bell.net.

PECI sends 22 athletes to COSSA track meet

CDHL squad performs well in spring league

Four Panthers earn Bay of Quinte silver

JASON PARKS

Dukes upbeat about camp this weekend STAFF WRITER

JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER

A total of 22 PECI athletes have qualified for the COSSA track and field meet at Peterborough's Thomas A Stewart Secondary School today. That's the good news coming out of last week's Bay of Quinte Track and Field Championships. The surprising news was, for the first time in recent memory, PECI athletes failed to secure a Bay of Quinte Conference championship in any of the various running, jumping or throwing events. PECI coach Bob Bell admitted that not seeing at least one Panther atop of a podium last week was “a little shocking.” “For whatever reason, we had a terrible day at the throwing events. Whether it was pressure or nerves or whatever, we just didn't execute well,” Bell told the Gazette. PECI athletes still managed a number of podium finishes but those were evenly distributed with no Panther securing more than one. Among male competitors, junior thrower Ben Clarke picked up a silver in the discus (35.94 m) while senior jumper Lucas Clarke was second in the long jump (5.93 m). On the female side, junior thrower Jordyn Fowler was second in the shot put (9.12 m) and Vanessa Willis came second in the senior shot put (8.92 m). In terms of bronze, Devon Wilton had a successful first Bay of Quinte meet, taking third in the midget boys Triple Jump (11.18 m) while Wyatt Gilbert had a third place showing in the midget boys 400 m event (57.67).

Panthers win battle of unbeaten teams PECI shakes off tough first inning to beat St. Theresa 11-2 ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

The PECI Baseball Panthers weren't fazed by the first adversity they faced this season. To start their second game of the day in Melrose, Thursday, the Panthers watched the St. Theresa Titans take a quick 2-0 lead after one inning. First, Titans pitcher Andy Nopper retired the first three Panther batters successively. Then, he played a key role offensively. Gavin Ronan hit lead-off batter Lucas Gilbert with a pitch, then Nopper singled him home. Dylan Gatward cashed him with a flyball double that was just out of reach of centre fielder Dryden Norton. Ronan proceeded to get the third out, but the Panthers appeared shaken. The Bay of Quinte league leaders didn't panic or pout, however. They raised their voices, got up off the bench and rallied around their hitters coming to the plate. The top of the second would change the course of the game with the Panthers responding

immediately for five runs on their way to an 11-2 triumph. "We didn't get pressured or anything. We stayed with our game and knew our team was good enough to get back into it," said veteran Johnny McHugh. "We had a couple good hits there." The rally started with Ryan Rosborough taking a pitch in the back to get on base. Norton advanced him with a single on the ground. Max

Manlow was next to the plate. Working a full count, Manlow connected on Nopper's sixth pitch, sending a hard-hit line drive to right centre field. Both runners scored with Manlow settling on third. Jordan Strachan knocked in Manlow with a grounder to the left side of the infield. Having moved into the lead, the Panthers didn't let up. McHugh singled and stole second base. Bottom-of-the-

order hitter Jimmy Kuipers capitalized on the chance to drive in another run, hitting what looked to be a routine single to centre field. When the Titans defender misjudged the ball, however, Kuipers put his head down and ran hard. Coach Matt Ronan waved him toward home plate. The throw from the outfield was in time, but it was high. Kuipers managed to slide under the tag. A excited sea of burgundy uniforms collapsed on top of him once he crossed the plate. "I thought I was going to stop at third, but Ronan waved me to go home. I was so pumped when he called me safe," Kuipers later recalled. "The boys were fired up." From that point on, the Titan offence didn't threaten. In the six at-bats to follow, they had no hits and just two runners. Both reached with two outs in the seventh inning — one hit by a pitch and one walking — at the tail end of a brilliant four-inning effort by the Grade 11 Norton, who relieved Ronan after three innings. Coach Ronan was impressed with the way the Panthers competed.

For the first season in a while, there was a palpable buzz surrounding the Wellington Dukes in 2015-2016. A blossoming prospect transforming into Ontario's best Junior A player in the person of Luc Brown was certainly catalyst in the aforementioned phenomena. Great goaltending provided by stalwarts Olivier Lafreniere and Sam Tanguay and first-year standout Anthony Popovich played a part in Wellington's success. And a reliable and gritty troika of rookies in Shaw Boomhower, Colin Doyle and Austin Labelle provided fans a look into a very promising future each and every shift. So as the club prepares to look ahead to the 2016-2017 campaign this weekend with their annual spring minicamp, it shouldn't come as any surprise there has been a good response to camp call outs for prospects and the buzz looks ready to roll over into a new season. Dukes coach and general manager Marty Abrams said there has been a great response for this weekend's set that sees players on the ice from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. On Saturday and 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Sunday. All sessions are open to the public. “It's a really important camp for us and we have had such a great response. Probably better than we have had in four or five years. It's going to be a bigger camp and there is a really good mix of players including quite a few local players,” Abrams said. Included in the camp this year will be the members of the Central Development Hockey League (CDHL) Dukes club that plays out of the Wally Dever Arena in Belleville against teams in eastern Ontario and western Quebec.

Bottom of Panthers’ batting order producing runs Pair of young goaltenders BASEBALL, from page 22

"We shut them down. Instead of tightening up, we seemed to loosen up and respond by playing our game. We pounded the strike zone and had very good defence. The bats came around," he said. "It was Dryden Norton, too. If you look at that game when Dryden came in, it became unhittable. He totally dominated. He struck out a lot of guys and he showed a lot of confidence in catcher Dan Seguin. He was able to throw a lot of junk on two-strike pitches to get them chasing." Norton struck out seven of

J. H. Anderson

13 batters faced. The Panthers round out the game offensively with one run in the fourth — Manlow's third RBI of the day and McHugh's second run— two in the fifth, and three in the sixth. Kuipers drove in the final two runs. Ronan said Kuipers' numbers illustrates the strength at the bottom of the order and through the lineup. "We brag about this team being 22 guys deep. The 10th guy in the lineup, Jim Kuipers, had a legitimate base hit and he took advantage on running bases to score. He came back later on with

another big hit. We're 22 deep. The bottom of the order has been producing a lot of runs." Earlier in the day, the Panthers pounded the new entry from Nicholson 19-0. Manlow had another big game at the plate, going two-for-three and driving in four runs. Norton was perfect, batting two-fortwo with a pair of runs and three RBI. Seguin also delivered, scoring three times and driving in a pair. On the mound, Manlow went four innings, allowing two hits, walking two, and striking out seven. Seguin pitched one inning of relief and struck out the side.

With the wins, the Panthers finished the season at 70 to grab the first seed in the Bay of Quinte Conference playoffs, which were to be played yesterday after press time. The top four teams were to make the playoffs with the winners advancing to the final and a chance at a COSSA berth. McHugh said the Panthers simply had to stay the course to have a shot. "We've just got to keep playing the same as we have all season," he said. "Our pitchers have to throw strikes and our hitting has to be a good as it has been."

New OFA partnership brings ag stories to Ontario consumers

By Mark Reusser, Executive Member, Ontario Federation of Agriculture Telling the story of agriculture and food production has never been more important. With increasing misconceptions and concerns about agricultural practices, we all know the need to share the story of our industry. The Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) is teaming up with Bell Media in a program call Fields to Forks that showcases positive stories about modern agriculture that produces safe, nutritious food, grows our economy as an innovative industry and cares for our environment. Fields to Forks is a new initiative to show modern agriculture to rural and urban audiences in southwestern Ontario. OFA is partnering with Middlesex Federation of Agriculture, Western Fair District and the County of Middlesex Economic Development on Fields to Forks to provide sources and background for agricultural stories that will be featured on Bell Media TV, radio and online channels in May and June. This partnership is a new opportunity to show Ontario households what modern farming looks like and work to improve consumer perceptions about the agriculture and agri-food industry. OFA believes the Fields to Forks campaign is an opportunity to show consumers that today’s modern farms are innovative, dynamic and technically savvy. The Fields to Forks campaign will provide consumers with interesting, informative and entertaining stories aimed at positively influencing the public perceptions of agriculture. We’ll also be able to track attitudes, awareness and knowledge of Ontario agriculture and modern farming practices through the campaign. Digital communications has given everyone the ability to share their stories and opinions. Many farmers and agricultural organizations are also using these technology tools to engage with consumers. OFA is looking forward to adding another positive angle to the stories about modern agriculture and our family farms through the Fields to Forks campaign.

DUKES, from page 22 That club has opened up its spring season having won five straight games and features extremely strong netminding in the forms of Pierce Nelson and Matt Villalta. Nelson has three shutouts in four starts while Villalta backstopped the Dukes to a 10 win in Brockville earlier this month. “Nelson has been carrying more of the workload because Villalta was away at Sault Ste. Marie camp but we've been very happy with both of them,” Abrams commented. “Overall, the team play has been improving greatly.” Brendan Rylott and Devin Morrison lead the scoring on the CDHL Dukes with eight points a piece and will be on the ice both days. The action on the ice Saturday will give way to social time in the evening as the club will host its annual awards night at the Highline Hall and it's probably a good bet Brown will walk away with yet more

Earlier this week, the Ontario Hockey Association announced the Napanee native was its Junior A Player of the Year, making it a clean sweep of OHA and OJHL MVP awards. “It's been a phenomenal year for him and it will be a very special evening for him and the other players graduating,” Abrams added. “To see them in a social and relaxed setting, saying goodbye and thank them for everything they've done for the organization is always a very special moment.”

“I’m very, very proud of these guys. They’re a great bunch of students and very dedicated. They’ll come out without us on their own and practice on lunch hours or stay late,” he said. “We weren’t expecting that outcome because of how many kids have just picked up the game, but there are some natural athletes and VANESSA WILLIS they pick it up very quickly.” Ward and Snider have the penultimate track and starred for several years as field event of the season. The Ontario champi- high-scoring forward and goaltender respectively on the onships are scheduled for Panthers’ hockey team. Last Windsor on June 2-4. year, the close friends decided to take up the racquet sports tennis and badminton together. Their game has come a long way this year. “What’s really incredible is last year they only won one match and this year they turned around and won gold at Bay of Quinte,” Inch said. “They’re also very fun to coach, they have a blast.” The duo came from behind in each of their three games to win. The first game was close for a time, until they won 7-4. st The second was against a better team and they grabbed a similar margin of victory.

“Overall, to get 22 of 27 athletes on to COSSA is good anytime but we are hopeful for better results on Thursday,” Bell added. “If they can perform, we can probably see seven to 10 of them qualify for East Regionals next week.” With the Bay of Quinte hosting the East Regionals meet May 26 and 27 at Bruce Faulds Park in Belleville, PECI athletes will need to finish in the top six in their event today to qualify for

misses a shot. They cover the court well.” Ward explained she likes to play the back court, while Snider stays near the net. “She has some great reflexes,” she said. “I’m all backhand and she has some wicked maneuvres keeping it in. It works well.” She added they rile each other up on the court and support one another. Snider said there were two differences that helped in their on-court success. The first is extra work with Inch on serving the ball and working on placement instead of power. “Really, we both can serve. We could rally, but we couldn’t serve before this year. Dave showed us how to serve and we actually won,” she said. “We also practice a lot more.” Ward and Snider will play at COSSA tomorrow for a

chance to advance to OFSAA. They’ve already seen half of the teams in their field, so they’re confident in their chances to finish in the top three. Allison captured silver for the second consecutive year this year after joining the team last year as a Grade 11. He said he didn’t run into much competition until he faced Trenton’s Charlie Rafausse in the final. The Grade 9 student is provincially ranked in club tennis. He said he enjoys the competition of sanctioned tennis as opposed to just playing with his friends. “I’m not sure why I didn’t play in Grade 9 and 10. I always loved it,” he said. “Playing actual tennis has made me love it more.” This year, Allison says he strengthened his forehand shot. He’s struggled to get

repetition on the court being the only singles player on the senior side, but he got his games in with Inch and teacher coach Rob Garden. Inch said Allison has earned his success through dedication. “Tyler is our most dedicated player. He came to me last year and I worked with him. I leave around 4 and he’s out there until 5 or 5:30. He has such a desire to do well, not necessarily just to win but to play well. He’s always out here trying to improve his strokes.” In COSSA play, club players are separated into another division, so Allison will have improved odds at winning. “I’m hoping to get top three of the unranked players so I can go to OFSAA. I haven’t been since I’ve been in high school, so that’s my No. 1 goal,” he said. “I have to work on committing to my forehand and not playing so timidly. The competition wasn’t as stiff, so I could get away with it. I have to hit harder shots, challenge more, and get more serves over.” Pero and Swackhammer have picked up the game quickly. Pero plays junior hockey and is an avid golfer. Swackhammer has played a number of sports at PECI, but he had never played tennis before this year. Inch credits their competitive nature and athleticism for their successes. “The two of them are so competitive together, they have a great chemistry and a such a desire to win.” Brittany Payne, the longest tenured tennis player on the team with three years to her credit, had the difficult task of adjusting to a new partner this year. Inch said the pairing with Isaac Cairns, a Grade 12 player with experience in other racquet sports, was a good fit for her. “Isaac is very competitive and he helps her a lot covering the court and helping her to make her shots,” he said. “When it comes to doubles, it’s a team effort with both players carrying each other. That’s what they do.” The COSSA competition was to take place yesterday in Cobourg and Port Hope with a rain date for today. Regardless of how the players fare, team members are optimistic about the direction PECI is taking on the courts. “We’ve had a lot of team success, said Allison. Inch added the players have come a long way in such a short season as the players were really only together three or four weeks. He also admired the team’s dedication for working on courts that clearly need upgrades. The facility at the school features cracked flooring with grass coming up through it. Some of the nets are also tattered and in disrepair. “The kids would benefit from some better conditions,” he said. “When I drive by, they’re being used by other people. I see moms and dads with their kids here and the high school uses them for gym classes. They’re out here quite a bit. It’s not just the tennis team, this is a community court. It’s chasing a lot of really good tennis players away.”
