Changes help keep Oysterfest tradition vibrant New venue, additional entertainment help draw couples to Rotary’s major fundraising event adam BramBurger Staff writer
Even after 50 years of fun memories, any event can still use some fresh ideas to draw a crowd. That’s the way the Rotary Club of Picton approached its 51st Oysterfest this Saturday and if early returns were any indication, it was a wise choice. As the buffet dinner was served that evening, it was hard to find an open seat in the Prince Edward
Curling Club — a venue chosen because it offered a bit more space than community halls did in the past. While the staff from Celebrations Catering was shucking oysters, several couples were on the dance floor moving along to the vocals of Dave Hatch and Swamp College, couples were milling around the blackjack tables, and bids were being upped along the silent auction tables. Rotary vice-president
Rick Jones said with tickets sold in the 250 range at $75 per person, the event was holding its own with past years and it might have attracted a bit of a new following this time around. “We tried to get more couples interested with a new venue and live music and that did help,” he said. Jones added the club also pushed back the date of the event this year, hoping to capitalize on some of the snowbirds returning from
warmer climes to volunteer and to spend their money. The spending, of course, is a key. The OysterFest, and its predecessor, the Oyster Stag, has always been one of the club’s major fundraisers for its many projects. “If you've got a bank account, a Visa card, a cheque, a money order we'll take it all,” said host Mark Davis. Whatever money you leave behind tonight will be used on good causes both here in Picton and around
the world.” Among the major causes Rotary has supported in the past year include a $100,000 pledge to the residential hospice facility, donations toward the digital mammography equipment at the hospital, and building a vocations centre in Atorkor, Ghana, administered by Rotarian Peta Hall.

They were swabbing spit for Sarah Reddick on Thursday afternoon and any of the other estimated 950 Canadians in need of a life saving stem cell transplant. Almost 300 local residents filed into PECI last week to take part in OneMatch Stem Cell and Marrow Drive hosted by Canadian Blood Services (C.B.S.) and organized by students and staff of the local secondary school. The event was held in honour of Reddick, a PECI student battling acute myeloid leukemia.

PECI teacher Greer Koutroulides said in total, 289 people came out and registered to be a potential stem cell/bone marrow donor, about 100 of which were PECI students over the age of 17. “We did really well in hitting the target demographic of young men between the ages of 17 and 35, so we are thrilled with the turnout,” Koutroulides said.

Staff to follow guidelines for Twitter, Facebook Chad Ibbotson Staff writer
A corporate-wide social media policy will soon regulate how the municipality and its employees use social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. The policy was approved by committee of the whole last week and will come before council at their May 14 meeting. A staff report submitted to the committee says “social media is a powerful and dynamic tool that will encourage transparent and proactive communications with Prince Edward County stakeholders, provide an accessible platform to the public about issues relevant to the municipality, and enhance the content and viewership of the municipality's web site.” The report says some County departments have been using social media on an “ad-hoc” basis, but social media initiatives haven't been aligned with one another. The report said this has resulted in an inconsistent corporate-wide approach. “Adopting a social media policy and establishing consistent, corporate-

wide social media guidelines represents an opportunity to enhance and maintain a meaningful and unified web presence for the Municipality,” the report says. “This includes formalizing the importance of consistent monitoring and maintenance to ensure social media tools are being used effectively and appropriately.” Under the new social media guidelines all munic-
ipal employees are expected to understand and comply with all the policies outlined in the policy. All managers will be responsible for ensuring all employees are advised of the guidelines. The municipality's communications officer, along with a social media working group will provide oversight and guidance on the implementations of the policy and its guidelines. The commu-
nications officer also must approve any new social media programs that are managed by the municipality. The report says the municipality's elected officials “are encouraged to express their personal opinions and those of their constituents rather than those of the corporation's administrations” and “social media use by elected officials will not be considered official communications of the municipality.” When using social media for municipal business, employees are required to post only “under the voice of municipally managed pages.” The report acknowledges that municipal employees may uses social media on a personal basis, but encourages employees to “consider indicating that any discussion of municipal affairs or 'work' does not reflect the municipality's position.” The social media policy was identified as a priority in the municipality's corporate communications plan. Also a priority in the municipality's communications plan was the use of advertising. The committee also approved a municipal advertising policy last week, which regulates the size, design, and placement of advertisements in local newspapers and web sites.

Picton Kinsmen reach deal with County to become sole tenants of Benson Hall Service club to work for space Chad Ibbotson

partnershIp The Kinsmen Club of Picton and the County have agreed to a partnership that will give the service club a permanent home at Benson Hall where they currently hold weekly TV Bingo. (Chad Ibbotson/Gazette staff)
$3,000 annually. The municipality will continue to be responsible for insurance and utilities for the building. The Kinsmen will pay for security and communication. The agreement also requires the Kinsmen to obtain $2 million liability and property damage insurance. Under the agreement the hall can only be used by members and can not be used for public events. The Kinsmen also can't sublet any portion of the building. Kinsmen Club incoming president Phil St. Jean thanked municipal staff for their work on the agreement. He said the entire 21-person membership is on board with the partnership. “Our club passed a motion to enter into this agreement. It was supported by the whole club, so we're behind it 100 per cent,� he said. “What this agreement does for us is it guarantees us a long-term venue for our TV Bingo, which is our major revenue (generator) through-
out the year.� St. Jean said currently the Kinsmen hold some meetings at the Picton Legion, while at other times meetings are held in members' homes. “We're looking for some stability as far as the club goes. This will provide that,� he said. Councillor Kevin Gale was among those who spoke in support of the Kinsmen becoming a permanent ten-
town. It's a win-win for everybody all the way around,� Shortt said. Benson Hall was designated a heritage property in 2010. In December last year the Kinsmen Club of Picton contacted the community development department about of using the building as a club headquarters.
In February 2013 the municipality received notification from the Prince Edward Corrections Advisory Board that they would be vacating Benson Hall by the beginning of May due to discontinued funding, leaving the Kinsmen Club as the only community group left using the building.

The Kinsmen Club of Picton will have a permanent home as councillors voted to approve a partnership agreement between the service club and the municipality last week. Although the agreement will still need final approval from council at their next meeting, there was nothing but support for the Kinsmen's request to permanently occupy Benson Hall at last week's committee-of-thewhole meeting. A report presented to the committee at last week's meeting says the partnership agreement will serve as a pilot project and will give the Kinsmen Club use of Benson Hall in exchange for maintenance work on the building. “Previously, the Kinsmen Club gave the county a donation of $1,000 annually for use of the space for the TV Bingo. The Prince Edward Corrections Advisory Board had been contributing approximately $3,600 annually in rent for use of the main floor space,� the report says. “Since this occupancy was year round and at least four days per week, there was a significant amount of energy use as the space is heated by electric baseboard heaters and window air conditioners.� The partnership agreement requires the Kinsmen to complete an annual work plan. The work plan must be agreed to by the municipal facilities manager with the agreed value of work at
ant in the Picton landmark. “This is a good fit and it's a good tenant for an old historic building,â€? he said. Gale encouraged the Kinsmen to work with the municipality in the future to improve or upgrade the building and the surrounding property. “Hopefully we can partner in some way to not only improve, but maybe upgrade (the building). This is good and it's a community group that's well respected,â€? he said. Mayor Peter Mertens was also in favour of leasing the building to the service club. “This will give us at least a modicum of income,â€? he said. â€œâ€ŚThis is a really good opportunity for people who have an interest to look after a facility that they can occupy. It's a benefit for us.â€? Councillor Terry Shortt said council is always looking to get more use out of municipal buildings. He said the lease would present that opportunity for Benson Hall. “This is also a way to defer our maintenance costs as well as give the Kinsmen at least a position in down-

listen in on the event. “I think it was a pretty uplifting day for her. She was really taken aback by all the people that stopped by to get registered,” Koutroulides added. Stergiou said the PECI event was a great day for the OneMatch program. “It was a great outpouring and it was awesome to see so many in the community step up to the plate not just for Sarah but for every family out there that's looking for a stem cell transplant. In Canada we have about 950 patients that are looking to a potential stem cell transplant to save their life,” Stergiou said. If people are looking to enroll in the donor registry program, Stergiou said potential candidates can visit www.onematch.ca and fill out a short and confidential questionnaire. “We will send you a swab kit, you complete it in the comfort of your own home and send it back in a self addressed stamped envelope. After that, we will contact you to let you know you are on the registry,” she said.

■ Cherry Valley native J. Milton Cork was selected as he new head of Loblaw Groceterias replacing the late T.P. Loblaw. Prior to assuming presidency of the national chain, Cork had been its vice-president in charge of purchasing and was recognized as an innovator who would travel anywhere to learn about new ways to merchandise goods. ■ The purveyors of meat in the Town of Picton petitioned council for a bylaw calling for higher taxes to be imposed on those selling meat within Market Square. They noted the merchants of Picton pay a business tax to keep their stores running, while travelling vendors do not have to pay such a tax. Therefore, the vendors were considered to have an unfair advantage over them. ■ Two Bloomfield residents and two Athol residents were fined for illegal net fishing operations on West Lake and East Lake respectfully. The men were each fined $10 for their transgressions and charged $3.50 for court costs after they admitted knowingly breaking the law.
60 years ago — 1953
■ The Toronto Maple Leafs’ top scoring winger Sid Smith was the featured speaker at a meeting hosted by the Elks, Kinsmen, and Rotary clubs for the midget and bantam hockey teams they sponsored. Smith told the players many NHL teams were actively watching for players as young as 13 whom they might consider as future stars in their organizations. ■ Several municipal officials were surprised to learn the provincial highways department endorsed a smaller amount for roads appropriations than in previous years. Instead of the usual $200,000 the County normally received, only $178,000 got the go ahead. Picton was also down to $67,500 from $75,000. ■ The Milford Farm Forum project provided 169 flowering crab trees to be planted throughout South Marysburgh Township as part of beautification efforts.
40 years ago — 1973
■ Ontario Federation of Agriculture president Gordon Hill told the Picton Rotary Club consumers had been led to believe for too long that they should pay cheaply for food. He said while people expected food prices to stay the same, inflation has dictated that taxes and costs have also risen over the years, forcing higher prices. ■ Samples of fish captured in gill nets in the Quinte region showed an increase in the number of splake taken from area waters. Splake are a cross between speckled trout and lake trout and they may have replaced declining lake trout. ■ A new book entitled Some Canadian Ghosts featured the story of a 1939 haunting episode on Queen Street.
20 years ago — 1993
■ The Prince Edward Region Conservation Authority indicated considerable damage had been done to the county’s shorelines due to high water. General manager Keith Taylor said much of the damage came in areas where existing shoreline protection failed and large portions of the shoreline washed away. ■ Warden Cindy Conder promised the Prince Edward District Women’s Institute and other accessible transit backers would receive an audience with council.

Monarch butterflies may be on their way out
One of the best experiences I ever had with monarch butterflies was at the farm of naturalists and film makers, John and Janet Foster, near Tweed. In the woods behind their house, they have a huge pond and it was in the milkweeds around this pond where we found seemingly dozens of Monarch chrysalises and larvae. The milkweeds, however, were not the common milkweed that we have grown up believing Monarchs prefer. This was swamp milkweed, purported to be even more craved by the Monarch than the common species. And these larvae were having a feast. It was late in the season and these lingering monarchs needed to mature quickly, if they were to get to Mexico before cold weather set in. Of all the insects that undertake migrations, the monarch is probably the most remarkable. Some travel thousands of kilometres during their short lifespan. However, individual butterflies do not complete the whole round-trip migration from the regions of northern Mexico to southern Canada. Instead, the cycle takes place over four gen erations. The offspring of the overwintering generation begin their lives in northern Mexico and the southern United States, migrating northward in the late spring and laying their eggs along the way. The second and third
OUTDOOR RAMBLES TERRY SPRAGUE
generations of monarchs continue to reproduce, but only monarchs born in late summer join the fourth generation in migrating to central Mexico, where they will then spend the winter. That they do this is well documented; that an insect weighing only half a gram with a correspondingly small brain, is just short of amazing. The reason monarchs are able to fly such great distances is because they know how to save energy. During migration, monarchs conserve their energy by riding columns of rising warm air and taking advantage of strong winds to help speed up their flight. However, the insect we have come to love and enjoy for generations is in trouble. There is no single reason; rather, it is a combination of reasons. It seems that illegal
logging in their Mexican wintering grounds, once thought to be the primary reason for their dwindling numbers, is no longer the concern it once was. Much of the illegal logging of their wintering grounds has been halted, although portions of their habitat continue to be whittled away each year. New research has shown there are several contributing factors to the monarch’s decline, not the least of which is loss of milkweed in their summering areas due to the widespread use of agricultural pesticides that have killed their main food source, milkweed. Of course, the population of any animal in the wild is always governed by the amount of food that is readily available, and populations adjust in response to feast or famine. The overall population wintering in Mexico has declined by 59 per cent this past year, falling to the lowest level since comparable record keeping began 20 years ago. Lack of water may be another reason. Monarchs do not drink any water at all during their long migration, until they reach Mexico. The mountain streams there have been affected by drought and human use. Climate change, weather events, migration hazards, a dwindling food supply, loss of habitat – all are contributing to a precipitous decline of an insect species that all of us have come to enjoy and expect to see every spring as each
fourth generation of those we saw in the fall, one by one, begin to appear in our area. Will the monarch butterfly become extinct? Probably not, but they will constitute only incidental sightings, and no longer the enormous migrations we have witnessed in places like Prince Edward County and Presqu’ile Park. This is why we need legislation that means something, and is not sold to the highest bidder who prefers development to protecting critical migration areas like Prince Edward County’s South Shore. Beyond that, there is much we can do in our own backyard by planting milkweed species like swamp milkweed and butterfly milkweed to serve as a food source, and providing backyard breeding areas with sources of water. It’s almost an Alice in Wonderland story of the Red Queen's race though. You have to run as fast as you possibly can to stay in one place, and if you want to get any place, you have to run twice as fast. We won’t stop the declining numbers, but at least we can say we are doing something in our own backyard. For more information on today’s topic, please e-mail tsprague@kos.net or phone 613-476-5072.

Spring Serenade to raise money for the Loyalist Humane Society
The animals in care of the Loyalist Humane Society will be the beneficiaries of an upcoming concert at St. Mary Magdalene Anglican Church. With its fundraising drive for a new piano nearly finished, the church has decided to start using its space to help organizations in the community through concerts, choir director Michael Goodwin explained. Those concerts will start
with a performance next Friday by Goodwin, Josie Farrar, and Belleville native Linda Minty who felt they wanted to give back to the County Rd. 4 facility, which houses more than 200 cats in a no-kill shelter. The concert, entitled Spring Serenade, gentle music to awaken the senses will feature an array of familiar and unfamiliar music for the cello, soprano, and piano. Works include The
Swan, Salut d’amour by Elgar, and some American folk songs and spirituals with two sets of contemporary songs composed by Kingston musicians. The show begins at 7:30 p.m. and tickets are available at the door for $15 or $5 for students. Goodwin plays piano, organ, and French horn. He studied at the Guildhall School in London and performed in the London Symphony and other orchestras.
Farrar sings in many choral groups and has performed across eastern Ontario. She studies voice with Holly Gwynne-Timothy and with Jane McGall. Minty teaches cello, is the principal cellist at the Quinte Symphony, and has performed with groups across Ontario. She was educated at the University of Western Ontario. -Staff

NBA player’s choice shouldn’t warrant major coverage
IT was impossible to watch a sports highlight show earlier this week without seeing Jason Collins make his move in front of the cameras. Those who may not be familiar with the story, however, would be surprised to hear it wasn’t a dunk, a steal, a foul, or even a pretty pass that made Collins the talk of the professional sports arena and beyond it. The 34-year-old centre with the Washington Wizards, his sixth team, announced this week that he’d talk openly about being a gay athlete in a Sports Illustrated cover story. The applause comes because it is believed Collins is the first North American professional athlete who had the nerve to make that play and announce his sexual preference in a world that’s largely “Don’t ask, don’t tell.” We admire Collins for his decision to come forward now and make this declaration, particularly in a world where youth are bullied every day for being themselves and choosing to share that expression before a world that may not necessarily be friendly or receptive to that decision. Perhaps having a professional athlete, no matter how many people knew of him before his announcement , having the same courage will help them on their journey. As far as Collins himself or other athletes who may find themselves in similar shoes, however, one must wonder if this move is really as significant as it has been played in the media. We suspect that other athletes have shared such information with their own teammates and, rather than something that has divided locker rooms, it more likely has been met with indifference, just as most of the other players may know their teammates preferences in women, but don’t talk about them on camera. While there are always exceptions to the rule, particularly among those partaking in activities that are doused in testosterone, one can bet that most of Collins’ teammates in the NBA were more concerned about his ability to rebound, to score, and to box out than they were about what he might do behind closed doors. The fact that nothing has happened over the course of his career to date and the social media comments about Collins being a good teammate before and after the announcement should probably also quiet any player who decides to express concern after the fact. After all, it’s one’s actions, not one’s preferences that speak loudest about the type of person they are. In this day and age, particularly with the oftenquoted statistic that one in 10 people are gay, it should come as no surprise the possibility could exist among any group of people and thus, it is hard to believe that Collins’ announcement is the shocking news it is in 2013. The fact it was, however, shows the public’s perception probably isn’t as in tune with reality of the world people live in. To be sure, Collins’ announcement shouldn’t be big news, but rather just a part of his life. If his effort, however, makes it easier for the next athlete and stops it from being big news, it was well played.

AFTERMATH FOR ALZHEIMER SOCIETY The Picton Gazette THURSDAY, MAY 2, 2013
Social justice book club focuses on variety of titles
A new book club is being formed at the library that is unique in a number of ways. The social justice book cub (SJBC) will offer a drop-in format where we will “talk books” dealing with domestic and international social justice topics such as food security, sustainability, the environment, exploitation, democracy and politics. Books can be non-fiction, memoirs and even novels that deal with these issues. Rather than everyone reading the same book – though there may be times when we do this – we will share short reviews of books, suggest books we might read, and discuss the issues brought to light by those titles. The drop-in aspect makes this an easily accessible club, welcoming new people on an ongoing basis and with no pressure to have read a particular book. People can attend just to listen as well. The first meeting of the SJBC is on Thursday, May 9 at 6 p.m. at the Picton branch. The time and date may be changed depending on the input of those at the first meeting, so please come out even if this may not be a time that will work for you in the future. As a starting point, below is a sampling of the titles available from the library that could be discussed, and requests for purchase of new titles are also welcomed. Recently released is The Stop: How the Fight for Good Food Transformed a Community and Inspired a Movement by Nick Saul and Andrea Curtis. Saul is an antipoverty activist and founder of The Stop Food Community Centre, an organization that began as a food bank in a poor Toronto neighbourhood and evolved over the past 15 years into a pioneering movement providing good meals alongside longterm solutions for people in need. A much smaller book, Time for Outrage! is the English translation of the bestselling book Indignez-vous ! by the French diplomat, member of the French Resistance and concentration camp survivor, Stéphane Hessel. Published in France in 2010, the book has sold nearly 1.5 million copies in France alone and has been translated into numerous other languages. It is an inspiring call to action and a history lesson wrapped in just 42 pages. The Original Green – Unlocking the Mystery of True Sustainability by Steve Mouzon is a book that gathers and shares the wisdom of sustainability through the operating system of living traditions presented in plain language. Mouzon is part of a group of architects, designers, and other new urbanists dedicated to the study and design of true traditional buildings and places native to, and inspired by, the regions in which they are built. The Inconvenient Indian; a
InsIde the lIbrary CHRISTINE RENAUD
curious account of Native People in North America by Thomas King is another book that may be of interest. It is a history lesson not to be missed as the remarkable King writes a critical and personal account of his findings over the past 50 years about what it means to be “Indian” in North America. Looking to international affairs, the library has Beyond Occupation: apartheid, colonialism and international law in the occupied Palestinian territories written by Virginia Tilley. Published in 2012, this would be a good book to read with Our Way to Fight: peace-work under siege in Israel-Palestine by local author Michael Riordon. There are many other titles, including one recently ordered from a library member request entitled Harvesting Justice: Transforming the Global Food Supply Chain by Tory Field and Beverly Bell. Traditional book clubs are alive and well at the library, too, and anyone who would like to join one is invited to drop in to their local branch and speak to a staff member for contact information. Also upcoming in May are special events for families. On the same day as the new book club, a new after school fun club begins. Each Thursday from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. during the month of May, students in Grades 3 to 6 are invited to drop in to the Picton branch for Lego building, science fun, crafts and snacks. We welcome ideas for the Fun Club program as well. To register, and to offer suggestions for activities, please contact Liz at liz@peclibrary.org or 613476-5962. On Saturday, May 11, all families are invited to touch a tow truck from 11 a.m to 12 noon. Listen to a story, make a craft, and watch expert tow truck operators demonstrate their skills. All ages are welcome. Special thanks to Shantz Motors and Towing for making this program possible. For information on children’s programs, please contact Liz Zylstra at: l i z @ p e c l i b r a r y. o r g @peclibrary.org or call the same phone number. Visit us online as well at: www.peclibrary.org

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR How Napanee managed to keep its own hospital
At a time when Prince Edward County Memorial and Trenton Memorial Hospitals are being decimated the question is often asked "how did Napanee hospital escape amalgamation." I spoke with a friend of mine, Mike Dollack to ask him exactly how his community was able to keep their hospital as a Stand Alone Hospital. Mike was a principal of the Napanee High School and a long time Board member of his local hospital. When it was very obvious that the Napanee Hospital would be forced into amalgamation the community immediately went to work. A physician that worked for the Kingston,.Frontenac and Lennox and Addington Health unit along with Tom Jindra, manager of the Goodyear plant and Mike became co chairs of the committee to save their hospital from amalgamation. Goodyear was very influential stating that they would not have considered locating
in Napanee if there was not a full service hospital there. The committee asked stakeholders from the outlying areas such as Tamworth, Flinton and Cloyne to write testimonials to Dr. Duncan Sinclair and his restructuring committee. Many said that they would have to travel very long distances to Belleviie or Kingston for healthcare. The committee then pointed out to the government that their hospital was not started with Ministry of Health funds when it was built in the 1950s but rather with donations and weekly pay deductions of workers in businesses. They went on to say that the ministry of health could not arbitrarily make a decision without involving the community. I might point out that PECMH was started almost 100 years ago with donations from the residents and continues to purchase medical equipment due to the generosity of the community. .As far as the QHC board and ad-
ministration consulting the stakeholders and medical community many feel that the consultation process was less than optimal. Dollack told me that he and his colleagues went on cable TV and spoke to numerous service clubs to get their help. He said that one thing that they had in their favour was that Kingston General Hospital supported them. The reason being that many medical residents come to Napanee hospital from KGH. These are all medical residents who hope to go into family practice and find that they have invaluable training with the local physicians. This same program applies to PECMH and our local doctors who have been involved with the residency program from KGH for over 50 years. Dollack could not emphasize enough to me that you must have unusually strong community support and sell to the community the rationale for keeping our hospital
strong and in fact adding services and not taking them away. I believe that we do have the expertise in the county to develop a business plan. However it is essential that this committee involve the medical community. It is also essential that the mayor, council, businesses and service clubs are "on board". For the last 15 years that we have been fighting to keep our hospital vibrant, the majority that have led the fight have been seniors. There are two other younger generations that perhaps would like to help. You only need to to read Al Capon's epilogue in "This House Of Healing PECMH" to realize that that the community of Pr. Ed.County put up a valiant fight in 1998 to keep PECMH as a "Stand Alone " hospital. Perhaps now 15 years later and many service cuts later the community will be even more determined .
County council heard a nice presentation by Dr. Williams and his statement that the present system really defines the county as 10 places. ( what is wrong with that ?) then would like to remind us that since amalgamation the County is supposed to be one place. we (taxpayers) have always referred to this place as "the county" and since amalgamation, that definitely has not worked, it has gone down hill since The members of council from 1999 to 2010 have
spent tax dollars so fast that we are over 50 million dollars in debt. We got rid of a few of them, but nothing has changed. Are 15 councillors too many? I don't think so and it worked well before 1999, so why are we wasting more money and time on something that was not high on the list to all who voted in the last election? The biggest thing to change from 1999 is the administration layers of it private sector workers wages are constrained through competition not
the case for public sector workers who enjoy greater job security and more generous non wage benefits. We got rid of a few employees, but hired almost as many and I am sure that the savings reported are going to be used up on the new salaries. The CAO get 200,000 dollars plus in wages and benefits. he might think he is worth that, but the position is not. Lets try and get "the county," our county, back to basics and don’t worry if a councillor asks how much money is being spent
in a certain area, just answer the question. Don’t threaten to throw him out. It is time to tell the new comers on council to hear our voice and tell administration, “This is the way we will do things.” Reducing the size of council will only let the administration get bigger and the taxpayer will have less say. Steve Campbell is right. We need voices. Load voices. Angry voices.
I am a 77-year-old retired registered nurse living in Prince Edward County. Before moving here from Toronto eight years ago, I assured myself there was a good hospital in Picton. Since then, I have attended numerous meetings over cuts to our hospital services to cover Belleville General Hospital’s budget
shortfalls, where we were assured these would be the last cuts. I no longer believe either the LHIN people or Mary Clare Egberts. Our hospital, Prince Edward County Memorial, had always operated in the black prior to amalgamation. We here are fed up with being “eaten for lunch” by Belleville General whose spending has
been consistently out of control. We want Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital detached and de-amalgamated from Quinte Healthcare Corporation and from Belleville General. It seems to me that it is a strange brand of democracy when there are elected officials who receive their titles
and their salaries from we, the people, yet fail to consult with us on the most basic of rights — our health care — and instead make arbitrary decisions in Queen’s Park which are detrimental to our well being. I would like a reply to this letter.

High-speed access to improve locally EORN launches Quinte-Loyalist zone for broadband

Prince Edward County residents and thousands more across the region will have improved access to highspeed wireless Internet service thanks to last week's launch of the Quinte-Loyalist zone of the Eastern Ontario Regional Network (EORN). EORN is a project spearheaded by the Eastern Ontario Wardens' Caucus (EOWC) to improve the accessibility of high-speed Internet across eastern Ontario. The project's backbone is a 5,500-km network of new and existing fibre optic cable with 160 new access points. The launch of the Quinte-Loyalist zone was celebrated by officials in Belleville on Friday. A release issued by the EOWC says the launch of the zone will provide improved access to close to 80,000 residents and businesses in eastern Ontario. The zone includes 26 new towers and 36 existing structures to deliver the service. The wireless network covers a 7,000-square-km region that expands as far west as Colborne, east past Odessa, north as far as Frontenac County, and includes all of Prince Edward County. “For businesses especially it's critical,” said mayor Peter Mertens. Mertens said there are more and more opportunities for people to work from home and perform a variety of functions from a distance. He said those who have those opportunities want Internet service that is both fast and reliable and, in the past, it may not have been available here. “People who have the opportunity to work from home, they don't want to take the chance, they don't want to take the risk of going where they don't have adequate connection,” he said. “… This addresses that and I see this as a huge opportunity as an economic driver for people who want to do just that.” The Quinte-Loyalist zone is the largest local access zone

of the EORN. The EOWC release says once the entire EORN is complete it will improve high speed access throughout close to 50,000 square kilometres. This will cover the counties of Prince Edward, Hastings, Lennox and Addington, Northumberland, Frontenac, Peterborough, Renfrew, Haliburton, Lanark, the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry, the United Counties of Prescott and Russell, the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville, as well as the City of Kawartha Lakes. Mertens said not only will the improved service allow more residents to telecommute from those counties, it will also allow those counties to compete with larger urban areas for certain businesses. He said about two years ago a production company was considering moving to the county, but high-speed Internet became an issue. “Ultimately, they chose to expand their offices in Toronto because of the unreliability of the Internet (here).” Mertens said the EOWC — of which Prince Edward County is a member — is a driving force behind the project. The governments of Canada and Ontario have each committed up to $55 million toward the project
while the EOWC is contributing $10 million, and partners in the private sector are also contributing. “(The EOWC) recognized this need many years ago and, with our staff at the various municipalities, they started to work on this and they created a business case to bring high speed to all of us in eastern Ontario because they are all faced with the same problems we are here,” said Mertens. The Quinte-Loyalist zone includes 76,386 households including 5,550 seasonal residences. The zone covers 14 per cent of the EOWC region. Prince Edward-Hastings MP Daryl Kramp said in the release the launch of the service marks a significant stage in the development of the region. “High-speed Internet access enables residents, businesses and institutions to access information, services and opportunities that would otherwise be out of reach. This service launch is truly a significant milestone to be celebrated throughout the region,” Kramp said. “Our government is proud to support this project that will spur innovation, encourage economic development, and improve the quality of life in eastern Ontario.”

Wayne Cooper is not a man prepared to take the value of a good night’s sleep in his own bed for granted. In fact, the Picton man gave up that privilege and even put up a goodly sum of money to ensure he could help offer that privilege to some of the people most in need of that in today’s world. Cooper spent 13 days in Kolkata, India helping with the distribution of bedkits for children as part of the Sleeping Children Around the World (SCAW) project earlier this year.

Cooper said the organization’s mission is to see “a world in which every child sees the benefits of a good night’s sleep,� but he quickly saw that wasn’t the case where he was as his team travelled far into the outskirts of the city. “A lot of these people had nothing,� he said. “They were living and sleeping on dirt floors in one room, a lot of them.

ity, and that’s why he believes it has had success operating now in 33 different countries and providing nearly 1.3 million kits to children in need. It receives no government assistance and all its funds are put back into the product. Cooper said SCAW partners with a group on the ground in a country like a church or service group and it doesn’t try to ship or import materials at a cost. Instead, SCAW will employ people in the host country to make the items needed to create the kits. “We’re using their labour, so the costs are going to be cheaper, but it is also employing the local people,� he said. The kits, which cost an average of $35 Canadian included a mat or mattress, a pillow, sheets and blankets, a mosquito net, a set of clothing, a towel, and books and school supplies. Cooper said in his area of India, there was a real hunger for the youth to receive the school supplies, particularly among those families with females. Many males, he said, were leaving school to join the workforce, but the females wanted to continue on to take in as much post-secondary education as they possibly could. That material could help with transforming parts of the world as well, as right now, many of the people who can receive the bed kits are in extreme poverty. Those eligible must have family incomes of less than $2,000 per annum or live in places where 40 per cent of the population lives on less than $2 per day. The kits are also only given to those

youth aged 6-12 and are offered on a 50/50 split to male and female recipients. Cooper said that sometimes the bedkits are tailored to the country and the region they are in — different materials are suitable for different climates — and in some cases, the host organizations will also provide funding to make the kits more valuable. His host, the Rotary Club of Dum Dum, for example, offered $3 per kit and it also provided some transportation and meals for the visiting volunteers. Volunteers on the ground in the country in question help find the students who would benefit from the gift of bedkits, then North American volunteers oversee the distribution process. Each of the youth who receive bedkits must be accompanied by an adult when they receive their kits to ensure they can safely take it home and the charity ensures that it feeds both parents and children before they return home with their gifts for a good night’s sleep. Cooper encouraged the Rotarians to consider donating to the organization, noting that each child helped is photographed for the sponsors who help them. He pointed out some members who already did donate. Bill Edwards was one and he said it was a worthwhile Christmas gift for some of the youth in his family. “There was no point in just getting them toys. This helped them to appreciate their own beds and gave them a sense of helping other people who were in need,� he explained.

Doors open spotlights local heritage properties with over 2,000 site visits County already looking for more sites to feature in future years AdAm BrAmBurger
Staff writer
When rarely seen county heritage properties open their doors for a limited public engagement, it appears people are willing to walk through them. This weekend’s Doors Open Prince Edward County brought people from around Ontario out in droves to visit 11 hand picked locations between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. last Saturday. “From what we’ve gathered, we had approximately 2,000 site visits in total,” said County museums head curator Jennifer Lyons. “For our first try since 2006, that’s a great turnout.” Lyons said the traffic varied greatly between the sites with Macaulay House in Picton among the most visited with more than 400 visitors. The house staged a special farmers’ market and a lantern display, and served as a starting point for a historical walking tour. The Glenora Fisheries station was actually the next most-visited site as more than 400 people also made the drive past the ferry to learn about the the former mill, which has housed the Ministry of Natural Resources on Lake Ontario since 1922. “There’s not a typical every day reason to visit the fisheries so there’s a sense of mystique,” Lyons surmised of the busy site. “It’s a unique opportunity to get into that building to see what they do.” Many of the smaller sites, even with 100 visitors through seemed busy as several were residential properties not exactly suited for that many guests. Rounding out this year’s tour were the Act Arts Studio (the former Rednersville United Church), the Ameliasburgh Town Hall built by Elijah Sprague in 1874, the barn at Mill Creek — a former grist mill, the former Baxter Canning Company cafeteria, which now serves as the Bloomfield Centre For Creativity; the Grange of Prince Edward Winery, the Hogg and Lytle feed mill in

Wellington, home of two studios and Rotary’s bottle recycling program, and the John DeMille house in Demorestville. It is considered one of the county’s oldest remaining homes, the Maple Heritage Rest House, which is now part of Sandbanks Provincial Park, and Milford’s Mt. Tabor Playhouse, formerly a Wesleyan Methodist Church. Lyons said the event was a partnership between the museums and the County’s community development department, which is working on marketing local history as an economic driver. She added the inclusion of local artists to paint themed doors for all the sites for auction also created interest and even a rare storyline as a member of the Bond family
who once lived at Macaulay House managed to win the door depicting it. Another boon for the relaunch of Doors Open, Lyons said, was the help of Doors Open Ontario, which featured the local exhibit prominently on its web site. Lyons said she believes the County will continue its involvement in the Doors Open program next year. “With the response we’ve had, we believe we can build upon this successful start,” she said, adding new sites will be featured next year. “The theory is to feature a different 11 or 12 properties each year to show off a new taste of local history to the public. There is a multitude of heritage sites here to be explored.”

The Government of Canada has released a booklet on safe food handling for adults 60-plus. This is an excerpt from it. Food safety is important to everyone. However, as people age, it becomes harder for the immune system to ward off harmful bacteria. Chronic diseases, such as diabetes and kidney disease, can make fighting off infections even more difficult. While most people affected by foodborne illness can recover completely, serious longer-term health effects, including conditions such as kidney failure and anaemia, are more common in older adults. This is why it is extremely important for older adults to take extra precautions when it comes to food. To reduce the risk of foodborne illness, it is essential for older adults, and those who prepare food for older adults, to follow safe food-handling and cooking practices. The

Taking the confusion out of the pruning process
Ask A mAster gArdener
KATHY MACPHERSON
and you want to prune for the desired shape as well. The rules for desirable pruning are simple. If you prune a flowering plant right after the blooms fade, you won’t risk cutting off future blooms. If you wait, you could be cutting off the future blooms. Lilacs are a prime example of a plant that sets buds for next year’s growth very soon after the current year’s
blooms fade. Spring blooming plants should never be pruned in the spring. Late summer blooming plants should not be pruned later than early to mid-spring. Non-blooming shrubs and trees can be pruned in the spring for shape and size. Remove all inward reaching branches and cut just above a node. A node is a bud, a branch or astem. Cut on a slight angle so water doesn’t pool in the cut. Fall is not the best time to prune because pruning sets up conditions for growth and you don’t want to stimulate growth which will just be nipped m off by the colder weather, setting up conditions for disease later on. Pruning in late summer is fine but allow the cut sufficient time to harden off before the fall chill sets in. Pruning after a freeze is also just fine. Sometimes you just need to do a major pruning job to rejuvenate a plant or get it down to a manageable size and you may have to sacrifice blooms to do so.
If you have a shrub that needs to be seriously brought under control, you may choose to remove up to 25 per cent of its growth during any one year. Lilacs, for instance can be totally rejuvenated in four years by removing one fourth of the canes each year right down to the ground. If you do that for four years you will have a plant with no growth older than four years. Keep your pruners clean and sharp. Bypass pruners and loppers are much better at making clean cuts than anvil pruners which crush plant material. Keep the blade part of the pruner next to the material you want to keep.

Of the many questions we get as Master Gardeners, pruning seems to the most recurring and often the topic that we gardeners get the most confused about. This is a good time of year to review the practices of pruning. There are times when pruning simply must be done when you see the need regardless of the time of year or the stage of growth of the plant. Generally called the “4 Ds, these are the situations when one must pick up the secateurs or loppers and get at it right away. The first “D” stands for “dead”. If you see dead tissue – remove it when you see it. The second “D” is “diseased”. Take diseased tissue out right away so the disease does not spread. Destroy the diseased tissue but don’t put it in the compost. Most compost will not heat sufficiently to kill all diseases. The third “D” indicates a “dangerous” situation. A branch that is too low for a child to walk by without getting scratched, a limb that overhangs the neighbour’s driveway, a broken limb about to fall into the yard. Take those off right away. The fourth “D” is for “damaged”. Remove any damaged material when you see it. Damaged tissue sets the plant up for invasions of diseases and insects. There is a fifth “D” which stands for “desirable” and that is the pruning chore that is linked to time of year and time of bloom. When pruning for the desirable, you want to avoid cutting the buds away before they bloom

Dial M For Murder lets audience follow criminal mastermind at work Community theatre takes on 1951 melodramatic thriller AdAm BrAmBurger
Staff writer
The evil mastermind is revealed fairly early on the Mt. Tabor stage in the Prince Edward Community Theatre’s production of Dial M For Murder. The audience learns quite quickly that former tennis pro Tony Wendice (Pat Larkin) has both the motive and intelligence to scheme so that his wife Margot (Cheryl Singer) is out of the picture. The excitement in this 1951 Frederick Knott thriller, which was also made into a famous movie by Alfred Hitchcock, is in the depths Wendice will stoop to carry out his plan and ultimately what lengths he will go to in
his desperation to finish the job. “It’s not a whodunit, but it’s how he does it,” said director Lynn Fennell. “It's well written, it's wonderfully intricate and you have to follow it. It's quite demanding of an audience.” Essentially, Wendice lives in London with his wife, whom he admits to having married for money while he was still a somebody in the world of tennis. Now, with his career faded, he finds she just doesn’t quite love him as much as she did back then, nor is he too fond of her — aside from the cash. Wendice catches Margot exchanging letters with a television writer she met in uni-

versity (Bryan Persaud) and he figures his time is running short to carry out a plot to keep the money before being left with nothing. Wendice astutely remembers a classmate of his own, Captain Lesgate, who had his own problems with the law and blackmails him to become a would-be hitman that would deal with his wife once and for all. That chum is played by Bill McMahon and he and Larkin put together some comedic melodrama as they match wits to see how their pasts had crossed previously and what each man wants out of a fresh acquaintance. McMahon explains the premise of the meeting well. “He's married, his wife has had an affair at some point and the boyfriend is in town,” he explained. “Tony needs some money. He figures one way to get it, if he murders her. Has an old friend at college who is a bit of a crook and he hires him to off the wife but it all goes wrong.” Somehow, Margot manages to foil the plot and it looks for a time like she is poised to stop her husband’s scheme dead in its tracks. That, however, is when the criminal mastermind goes to work with the circumstances that play out before him. “In the meantime the boyfriend gets involved in the game, he goes to the cops and they try to bring it all back around to Tony,” McMahon explained. Barrie Atkinson enters as the London police officer who investigates the whole mess, complete with some overdramatic lines of his own that his cast mates liken to those from any episode of Columbo. Still, they add some comedic irony. Fennell said the police officer is kept guessing about the crimes the audience is able to see unfold in front of it and that adds another bit of

intrigue about how the case will unfold and if justice is done in the end or if Wendice really is smart enough to fool everyone and enjoy the last laugh of the night.. That’s one question best left for the audience as they are given most of the clues pretty easily in this drama, which Fennell said is a departure from any of the plays the
company has done in its five seasons, many of which were more farcical in nature than this one. “It really does come to a wonderful climax,” Fennell said of the show. The veteran cast delivers good timing and believable narrative, even while dealing with British accents. Larkin, of course, is no stranger to

playing the heavy as this appearance brings back memories of his role as the diabolical villain in the Marysburgh Mummers’ 2009 staging of the Canadian melodrama The Mumberly Inheritance by Warren Graves, and his conniving Leo Clark in last year’s Ludwig farce, Leading Ladies. Company newcomers Persaud and Jason Young add life to the drama as well. Off-stage, Fennell has the help of a handy crew, led by stage manager Jennifer Warr and sound and lighting director Kevin McGall. The show takes the Mt.

Simultaneously with Dial M For Murder, the company is also offering a pair of Sunday one-act afternoon matinee shows back-to-back on May 5 and 12. Under the direction of Jennifer Goodman and Georgia Papanicolaou, the company will stage A Little Something For the Ducks and A Scent of Honeysuckle, both written by John Lenox Toddie at 2 p.m. Tickets are $10 for the pair of shows and must be purchased at the door. Fennell said the shows carry a bit of a Mother’s Day theme.John McCarthy, Jean Armstrong, Wilma McCagg, Susan Mitchell, and Paulina McMahon will grace the stage in those shows. Through the run, Fennell said the company will also be promoting its season six subscription series at a special price, $30 for three shows.

Thinking of buying a cottage or recreational property?
The idea of owning a cottage or recreational property is a dream for many Ontarians. Not only do recreational properties promise plenty of relaxation, enjoyment and quality time with family and friends, but they can be an appealing investment opportunity as well. Whether you are looking at purchasing a recreational property for rental purposes only, a combination of personal use and periodic rentals, or for long-term personal use, the due diligence process is very important. “Make sure you work with a local real estate specialist to ensure that you are up to speed on local zoning and building restrictions, municipal taxes and services, land boundaries and property management needs so that your time isn’t spent on costly issues and nagging maintenance concerns,” says Ron
Abraham, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association. When it comes to the nuts and bolts of the actual property it is critical to get a home inspection. Since recreational properties are often left vacant for several months of the year they tend to be susceptible to issues like frozen pipes, infestation, mould and vandalism. Abraham recommends that homebuyers start by looking at the general state of repair of the property as disrepair can indicate bigger problems. He offers homebuyers the following tips to sniff out potential problem areas when viewing a recreational property: • Signs of vermin: Check around the foundation and entryways for signs of infestation (droppings, nests, holes). • Roof and woodwork: Look for loose or missing shingles on the

roof and check decks and stairs for rot, missing nails, warping and peeled paint. If the deck is sagging it may be unsafe. • Dock: Look for signs of rot, missing nails and warping. Check the floats and supports and make sure hardware (like swimming ladders) is securely fastened. • Windows and doors: Check the caulking and weather stripping around doors and windows. • Septic and water supply: Are the water pump, well and pipes in good condition? Is there a sewage system or a septic tank? How old is the system? What is the source of the water? Can you drink the water? • Electrical: Check the fuse box for signs of water damage. Test light switches and outlets. Make sure appliances included in the
sale are in good working order. • Furnace: Check the condition. Turn on the heat and see how well it works. • Water damage: Examine ceilings and walls for stains and bulges. Excessive mildew can be a sign of a leak or venting issues. • Plumbing: Turn on all faucets to test water pressure and hot water. Flush toilets to ensure proper drainage. Examine faucets, bathtubs, and under sinks for signs of water damage. “As with any real estate investment, there are countless factors that go into making a final decision. Work with a local real estate
expert who can guide you through the process of searching for a recreational property and help you keep your eye on the prize,” says Abraham.

Schmalz Cup title now within Pirates’ reach Picton rebounds from protest with two wins in Essex, chance to win at home CHad ibbotson
Staff writer
Once again the Picton Pirates have displayed their ability to meet adversity head on. That ability left them with a chance to win an Ontario title on home ice last night (after the Gazette’s press time). Since overcoming a 3–1 deficit in their Schmalz Cup quarter-final series against the Lakefield Chiefs, the team has proven time and again that it takes a lot to rattle them. The club's latest challenge came in the form of an Ontario Hockey Association (OHA) ruling regarding the outcome of Game 1 of the Pirates' Schmalz Cup final series against the Essex 73's. The 73's filed a protest with the OHA following Game 1, saying that Picton forward Evan Greer should have been ejected from the game following three or more stick infractions as per Hockey Canada rule 4.2 (e). The OHA upheld the protest and ruled that the result be removed and the game be restarted at the point the third stick infraction would have expired. Greer had added a goal and an assist in the contest after his third stick infraction. The series, which had been a 1–1 split, was now 1– 0 in favour of the 73's with Games 3 and 4 to be played in Essex. Pirates coach and general manager Ryan Woodward admitted the ruling gave the Pirates a little more fire as they hit the road. Picton picked up a 3–1 victory in Game 3 on Saturday, then took a blowout 6–3 win in Game 4 on Sunday to take a 2–1 advantage in the series. “Our guys handled (the ruling) as well as they could. They just wanted to use it as motivation and said they're going to go down there and focus on hockey,” Woodward said. “They did that and worked hard for two wins.” Woodward said the team is resilient and has relied on its leaders to help guide the young group. “You really have to lean on your leaders during these challenging times and the players all responded positively,” he said. “Nobody hung their heads. The guys were upset, but they thought they did a good job in the opening weekend and they
ClutCH goal Pirates forward Mitchell Smith celebrates his third period power-play goal during Game 3 of the Schmalz Cup final in Essex Saturday as teammate Ryan Sizer, left, also celebrates.. The goal gave the Pirates a 3-1 lead in the game, which was enough to hold off the 73’s attack and even the series. The Pirates had two tallies with the extra man that day, including captain Brandon Peever’s winner. (Photo courtesy of Heather Johns)
thought if they focused on the games they could have success.” The Pirates had an opportunity to get on the board early in Game 3, but Jack Davison was denied on a penalty shot by Essex goaltender Trevor Wheaton. The shots were even through the first period, but neither team was able to get on the board. The deadlock was broken just 1:08 into the second period when Greer found Cole Bolton who buried it to make it 1–0. The Pirates got a lot of chances following the goal, but were stymied by Wheaton. Brandon Peever made it 2–0 with a power-play marker from Ryan Sizer and Greer at 19:38. Essex cut into the Picton lead under a minute into the third with a goal from Jordan Ryan, but Mitchell Smith's power-play goal at 7:52 sealed the 3–1 win. Greer and Peever had the assists. “The guys put together a solid performance. It was as tight a game that we've played defensively. The guys played well away from the puck, won a lot of one-onone battles and we got great goaltending from Andrew Pearson,” Woodward said. Woodward said there are key moments in every game and after the early third-period Essex goal, the team was able to regroup with a timeout. He said the power play presented an opportunity
that the team made count with Smith's goal. “We have players that can make you pay on the power play and right now they're coming through and they're going to need to continue to make a difference,” he said. The Pirates followed up the crucial Game 3 win with sparkling performance in Game 4. Greer netted the go-ahead goal at 11:16 of the first and Eric Hayes added another at 18:49. Geoff Cleminson and Greer had the assists. The 73's responded with a Corey Beaulieu power-play marker at 5:42 of the second to make it 2–1. Greer scored a powerplay goal of his own at 10:48 to restore the two-goal lead and Smith connected with Davison and Levi George to make it 4–1 with less than two minutes to play in the period. Again Essex came out strong to start the third. Daniel Slipchuck found the back of the net at 7:54 of the third with his team on the power play. Bolton answered for Picton with a power-play goal five minutes later as the back-and-forth play continued. Beaulieu scored at 14:37 of the final frame to make it 5–3, but the 73's were unable to gain any ground. Smith added a goal with seconds remaining to make it 6–3. Greer recorded an assist on the tally.
Holding down tHe fort The Pirates played stingy defence in Game 4 Sunday to give the Pirates a series lead. Here, from left Brandon Peever, goaltender Andrew Pearson, and Steve Csanyi work together to stop Essex’s attack . (Photo courtesy of Heather Johns) Woodward said the team was able to be successful on the score sheet by keeping the game simple and working hard. “We're just focusing on putting a lot of pucks on net and getting to the dirty areas,” he said. Greer has been a huge factor in the series. Aside from the controversy surrounding Game 1, Greer tallied a combined seven points in Games 3 and 4. “Evan has been a lightening rod at both ends of the ice for us all season long,”
Woodward said. With much of the attention around Game 1 surrounding him, Greer had something to prove over the weekend, Woodward said. “He just wanted to go out there and prove a point and to throw the guys on his back and lead the charge,” he said. “A lot of guys followed his lead, we had terrific performances from the net out.” The remainder of Game 1 and Game 5 were played on Wednesday evening after the Gazette's press time.

The score was to be displayed as 2–1 in favour of Picton.

Panthers put wins together early on PECI blanks Centennial, beats Moira in Melrose tournament AdAm BrAmBurger
Staff writer
PECI baseball coach Matt Ronan described his team’s early success succinctly after a 2-0 start in Melrose last Friday. “Pitching wins ball games. Defence wins ball games. We had plenty of both today.” In an early morning match, the Panthers found themselves facing their traditional playoff foes the Centennial Chargers and it didn’t take long for the Panthers to get going. Josh Arnold reached base on an error to lead off the game and two batters later, Matt Gallo would score him with a triple. The Panthers couldn’t move their slugger home, but it turns out they wouldn’t need the run because he also brought his top game to the pitching mound. Gallo sat down the first three Chargers batters in succession and continued to pitch one-hit ball through five innings of a 4-0 shutout win. His final tally showed seven strikeouts and just three bases on balls. “Matt pitched a gem of a game and he ended up having two RBI too including the game-winning run. Matt is a strong leader on this team and we expect a lot from him. He endlessly delivers for us,” said Ronan. The Panthers got the rest of their offence that morning in the fourth inning. Kyle Gould started the inning reaching on an error, Gallo knocked him in with a double, then waited as Bob Wilson reached base on a walk. Two batters later, Ryan Forrester cashed them both in with a single. George Goddard came onto the mound to mop up
the game in relief, where he also managed to strikeout two Chargers and allowed just one hit himself. Facing Moira that afternoon, the Panthers had hoped to get an early jump like they did against Centennial, but it would take some time for them to get going. After Forrester shut down the Trojan side in the first, the Panthers looked to cause a bit of damage in the bottom half of the inning. Arnold and Gould both reached base with walks, though Arnold was thrown out trying to score. Wilson hit a liner to reach base before Goddard knocked an RBI single through the infield to score Gould. The Panthers loaded up the bases with Forrester taking a walk, but ultimately left three stranded. The second inning saw Moira challenge early as they manufactured a run and had a pair of players in scoring position when it was first baseman Goddard’s turn to add defensive flourish. He dove to catch a foul ball down the line, then reached over to tag his bag for a double play. Forrester managed to strike out the third Moira out to leave two stranded. Bob Wilson came on in relief for the third inning and after walking the first batter he faced, he delivered three consecutive strikeouts. That looked to be a turning point for the Panthers as they managed to put their first four batters on base in the bottom of the inning, but Arnold was thrown out after taking two small a lead on a short fly ball, then Gould, Gallo, and Wilson all found themselves stranded on base as the lower batters in the order failed to cash them. Ronan said he felt the lack
of performance might have been mental on behalf of the Panthers’ batters. “We need to go back and adjust and recognize it is onbase percentage that wins games more than a three-run homer at the high school level,” he said. “Guys have expectations of themselves. They were pressing with the bases loaded. We just need to put the ball in play and we’ll move those runners.” After Wilson pitched another inning without allowing a runner on base, the Panthers finally put some distance behind themselves in the bottom of the fourth. Pat McPherson walked to start the inning and Ronan instinctively brought in Jared Found to run. Pinch hitter Kevin Wilson also walked. Found courageously beat out a throw to home from left field for the winning run. WIlson would later score on a Riley McConnell base hit and, in turn, Arnold knocked him home for a three-run inning. Wilson shut dow n the Trojans in the fifth with a ground out and two strikeouts, allowing just one hit in three innings — though twice Gould bailed out the pitcher with throws showing his incredible range at shortstop to get outs at first — leading to curfew. Ronan was pleased the Panthers collectively allowed just four walks in the two games. He said the team would have to work on its strikeouts offensively, but all in all, the team showed promise to start the year. On Tuesday, the Panthers went to 3-0 by beating Centre Hastings 6-3 at home in Wellington. Andrew Dayton picked up the win on the mound, while McPherson grabbed the save in relief.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you may feel like you need to move faster to get ahead, but the opposite is true this week. Slow down and focus on the details and you will benefit. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, though the first few days of the week may seem disastrous, hang in there and you will find things will turn around quite quickly. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, sometimes you have to make some noise to be heard, which may seem out of character for you. If the cause is that important, you will do what is necessary. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, you can't get enough of a certain thing, but you may need to pace yourself. Otherwise your interest may start to wane. A surprise situation arises on Thursday. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, there are things you need to say to a particular person in your life. But you do not know how to express your opinions in a way that's easy to understand. Speak from the heart. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 You may be feeling a bit under the weather this week, Virgo. It's likely due to you pushing your schedule to the limits. Schedule some recovery time for yourself.
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you need to rely on someone this week for a big project, but you don't know who to choose. Make a list of your best prospects, and then you can narrow it down from there. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 You can use a break from the daily grind, Scorpio. It might be time to plan a getaway. You may want to make this a solo trip so you can fully recharge. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 The truth can sometimes hurt a bit, Sagittarius. But a dose of honesty this week provides the reality check you have been needing. Make some changes. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, an event this week gets you fired up and excited. It could be the news you have been waiting to hear from work or from a significant other. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, knowing when to keep quiet can be difficult, especially when you suspect something is off-kilter. This week you will be put to the test. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, the week may begin somewhat aimlessly, but things will all come together by the middle of the week.

The Million Dollar Man brings story of faith to Picton this weekend Wrestler Dibiase says he found something better than fame Jason Parks
Staff writer
When I was 10 years old, I loathed “The Million Dollar Man� Ted Dibiase. When I was 20 years old, I admired “The Million Dollar Man'� Ted Dibiase. The epiphany that professional wrestling is more entertainment than sport helped me arrive at the conclusion that the pumped up bully from my childhood that would try to buy championships belts, throw his 'wealth' around in menacing ways and laugh maniacally at everything was a master at his craft -a cerebral artist-, that could be appreciated for this performance post realization. The House of Blessing and Gilead Fellowship are bringing Dibiase to Prince Edward County but its not to slap his famous Million Dollar Dream chokehold on some unknown jobber. It's to talk about the price of sin can put on a marriage, a family, and your soul. Dibiase has gone from being the top heel in the wrestling game to a renowned speaker and evangelist that draws crowds of over 4,000 people. Speaking with the Gazette from his home in Clinton, Mississippi by phone Tuesday afternoon Dibiase explained how fame and the vices that come with being a superstar brought him tumbling down at the the height of his professional career. Originally a football player with an NCAA Scholarship at West Texas State University, Dibiase got married during his college days and eventually left school to become a professional wrestler like his late step father, Iron Mike Dibiase who died when his adopted son was just 15. It was during his 20s when Dibiase said “the ego started to take over� and his first marriage failed.
Pedal For Hope rides into county
This morning, the second annual Pedal For Hope Quinte bike tour will roll into Prince Edward County to raise awareness for cancer in children. The local stretch was slated to start at Massassauga-Rednersville Public School at 9:30 this morning, where OPP community services officer Anthony Mann would shave his head in support of those suffering from the disease. The tour was to hit Kente at 11:45 and C.M.L. Snider at 2:45 today. Tomorrow, it goes to Pinecrest Memorial at 9:30 a.m. Athol-South Marysburgh at noon, and St. Gregory Catholic at 1:45 p.m. Following the weekend, the tour will start at PECI and Queen Elizabeth with an 8:15 presentation, then finish with Sophiasburgh Central at 11:45 a.m. -Staff
redeemed Former professional wrestler Ted Dibiase will speak about his reconciliation with God and the changes in his life since making that decision in two appearances in the county this weekend. (www.teddibiase.com)
“I started to become consumed by things that consumed me for the next 20 years,� Dibiase said. In spite of the ups and downs in his personal life, Diastase’s professional career as a grappler took off like a rocket. After honing his abilities in small circuits in the southern United States and Japan, Dibiase landed on the World Wrestling Foundation (WWF) stage in 1987 and almost instantly became one of the top draws in the best wrestling company in the world. “I became the big star, travelling the world, first class flights, lear jets, limos, the whole nine yards,� Dibiase recalls. I appeared on the Tonight Show, there was a Million Dollar Man action figure, I appeared in video games, you name it.�
And Dibiase said he succumbed to that fame. “I had made a couple of attempts to reconcile with God but to no avail and then in March 1992, just after Wrestlemania 8, through God's perfect timing, I called home to check in with my wife and I was confronted with adultery.� “It's funny how we rationalize sin until it's revealed. And then you see it and yourself for what they truly are.I had been willing to put into jeopardy the love and devotion of a committed wife and the future stability of my own children to stroke my ego,� Dibiase said. As it almost always does, hitting rock bottom provided the wrestler a chance to redeem himself to his family and God. “That was the turning
point. I took a long hard long look at how selfish I'd been in spite of how much I had been blessed. I realized my career and fame wasn't as important as my family. I began to redirect my life on God first and then my family and when those things became priorities, my whole life changed,� he said. Dibiase began a spiritual journey and when he finally stepped out of the ring for good in 1999, he stepped into evangelism. The man who once offered $500 to a young boy to bounce a basketball 15 times in a row, only to cruelly kick it away at the last second and not pay him during a WWF worked promo became an ordained minister through his local church. “God keeps blowing doors open for me to go out and spread the good news,� Dibiase said. And now, the Million Dollar Man has become the Million Mile Man, flying all

make a commitment to God. “It's hard to put into words but that's what it's all about. I've wrestled in some of the big venues and it was a thrill. But to see one young man come forward in tears and surrender his will and heart to God and say 'I want to be what God called me to be, I want to be a good dad.'

Dibiase has been involved with Promise Keepers Canada for some time and makes frequent trips to this country. In the next three month I'll be in Cranbrook, British Columbia, I'll be in Picton, I'll be in Thunder Bay and I'm also going to Newfoundland. I tell my Canadian friends that I see more of their country than they do,� Dibiase chuckled with a hint of his famous laugh. Instead of offering insults as he did with his professional persona, Dibiase inspires and brings people closer to Christ. A man that has been at the pinnacle of his sport and has wrestled in front of 50,000-plus screaming fans at Wembley Stadium and the SkyDome said that nothing can match seeing a young man walk up and

Yuillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Colts move on to OHL final against London Knights JAsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;PArks
Staff writer
Much to the chagrin of local OHL fans, Alex Yuill and his Barrie Colts are through to the Ontario Major Junior A Hockey Championships. Yuill's Colts defeated the Belleville Bulls in the 2013 Eastern Conference finals in seven hard fought games, taking the finale Monday night 3-1 at the Yardmen Arena and claiming the Bobby Orr Trophy in the process. The series win means the Wellington product will move on to the J. Ross Robertson Cup finals against the London Knights in a seven game series that will start this weekend. For Yuill, the win was extra special as he accomplished the feat on ice that he played on during his years with the Quinte Red Devils AAA Organization. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's pretty awesome to win it at the Yardmen,â&#x20AC;? Yuill told the Gazette Tuesday night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the first time I've ever won something this big and to do it in Belleville at a rink that I'm pretty familiar with was pretty special.â&#x20AC;? A number of county hockey fans put aside their Belleville Bulls bias this round and cheered on Prince Edward's only current OHL player. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's pretty cool to get cheered on in an opposing rink. I wasn't expecting to have so many fans in the stands but it was nice to hear them in Game 1 when I was introduced,â&#x20AC;? he added. With a pair of flagship organizations going headto-head with a birth to the Memorial Cup on the line,
ALEXâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;YUILL
the spotlight on the upcoming series will be intense. Yuill said the Colts are ready. â&#x20AC;&#x153;London has a lot of hype around them and they are one of the best teams year after year,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have a lot of skill up front and a solid defensive corps but we also have a lot skill as well and it's going to be an interesting match up.â&#x20AC;? The current playoff run is providing Yuill a shot in the arm as far as this season. In a limited role, the second-year blueliner managed six assists in 49 regular season games. However, injuries and suspensions to the Barrie lineup have allowed the puck moving defenceman a chance to shine in the post season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a tough year and your mind starts to drift toward thinking about the off-season, summer training and making a difference in 2013-2014 but then playoffs came and I started playing more and we keep winning and you want to keep that going,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We've got that taste of winning and we want more.â&#x20AC;?

St. Mary Magdalene celebrates a century on Main Street Anglican church stages open house, concert Saturday, welcomes Bishop Sunday
In May 1913, the parishioners of St. Mary Magdalene Church moved with excitement and wonder from their sacred home to a new cavernous building. The Anglican congregation left the quaint church building which now houses the Macaulay Museum to take up residence in a lofty, new cement-stone structure on Main Street. This weekend, the present-day church community will be concluding a year of activities marking the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s centennial anniversary. They are inviting the broader community to join with them in celebrating that milestone.
This Saturday, the church will open its doors between 2-4 p.m. for an open house in the church and the parish hall. Visitors can come to see the lovely stained-glass windows of the church, many which date back to 1913. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also have the opportunity to review colourful stories, photographs, and historical artifacts around the church, telling the story of those people who gave time and money to help furnish the church with items like the magnificent Casavant organ, the intricately carved wooden rood screen, the choir stalls, and the windows.
Also Saturday, the church will showcase its brilliant acoustics as it presents the Choral Anthems Through the Ages Concert at 7:30 p.m. The show is being presented as a gift from the church to the county, thus only a free will offering will be collected. The concert will feature church anthems sung by cathedral choirs of England over the past 100 years, presented by the Prince Edward County Ecumenical Choir under the direction of Michael Goodwin, the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choir director and organist. The choir will be joined by Ian Bevell, who is a master organist
from Kingston. The special activities will conclude with the anniversary service Sunday morning at 10:30 a.m. which will be presided over by the Anglican Bishop of Ontario Michael Oulton. A birthday luncheon will follow in the parish hall. Yesterday, the parish started the celebration with a Victorian tea as the ladies of the church dressed up in period costumes to share tea, sandwiches, and baked goods. Displays depicting the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life and history were also on display. -Contributed

With Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day quickly approaching, the PECMH Foundation is providing a unique opportunity for individuals to honour mothers, grandmothers and other influential women through our Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day tribute program. In lieu of flowers and candy, we hope people consider giving a Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day gift with a donation to our Hospital Foundation to assist in the purchase of priority medical equipment.

The Foundation has always enjoyed the trust, support and generosity of the community. We recognize the spirit of giving and are most grateful. Continued support is paramount to the updating of medical equipment and building enhancements in our Hospital. Gifts can be made in honour or in loving memory. A recognition card will be sent to your loved one informing them of the gift in their honour. All donations are tax deductible and will be receipted promptly.

New take-out restaurant brings Mexican flavour to downtown Picton Gringoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owner brings extensive experience managing major chain eateries in Toronto to her new business venture Jason Parks
Staff writer
Just in time for celebration of Cinco de Mayo (which commemorates the victory of the Mexican militia over the French army at The Battle Of Puebla in 1862),
Gringo's on Main Street in Picton is offering fresh authentic Mexican cuisine. Paula Weir has 25 years in the food service industry, managing major chain restaurants such as Kelsey's, Quizno's and East Side Mario's in Toronto and
now she's decided the timing was right to bring a Mexican take out restaurant in Prince Edward County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was helping people run their restaurants so when I came to Prince Edward County, I decided it was time for me to have my
own restaurant. After surveying the local offerings, Weir decided the eats south of the border needed to be tried on the Island. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are a lot more health conscious these days and this food really is
PUBLIC MEETING: HERITAGE CONSERVATION DISTRICT Meeting Date/Time: Thursday, May 23, 2013, 7:00 pm²9:00 pm Meeting Location: Macaulay Museum, 35 Church St., Picton In accordance with the Ontario Heritage Act, a public meeting is being held to discuss the proposed Picton Main St. Heritage Conservation District Plan. The Plan is being considered for an area of Picton that includes properties fronting on, or near sections of:
x
Main Street, extending from Shire Hall and Paul Street to the East side of Talbot Street and Lake Street; and
x
Bridge Street, including properties 1 to 36.
healthy. We offer corn tortillas and there's fresh vegetables in all our meals. We are buying local meats and local vegetables when they are in season,â&#x20AC;? Weir said. Given the amount of foot traffic and return customers, the Mexican offerings combined with the quick service seem to be a hit with the hungry citizenry On the menu currently is a 12' inch burrito combo, a 3 soft taco combo or a salad combo that come with guacamole, sour cream and salsa. "I've had a lot of people in this week that are return-
ing to Prince Edward County after spending the winter in the south and they are telling me the food here at Gringo's is as good as the Mexican food in Florida or South Carolina, so I take that as a good sign and they keep coming back,â&#x20AC;? she added. Gringo's is located at 66 Main Street next to Mark's Barbershop and is open Tuesday through Saturday 11 a.m. To 7 p.m. After the Victoria Day long weekend, Gringo's will be open on Sundays as well and orders can be made by calling 613-4711000.
A presentation of the Draft Plan will begin at 7 pm, followed by discussion and a question/answer period. Have your say: Anyone may attend public meetings and make verbal or written remarks either in support of or in opposition to the proposed Plan. Appeals: The Ontario Municipal Board may dismiss appeals (in part or in whole) put forward by a person or public body who has not made a verbal submission at a public meeting, or made a written submission to the Corporation of the County of Prince Edward, before the by-law adopting this plan is made. More information: The proposed Picton Main Street Heritage Conservation District Plan will be publicly available on May 15, 2013, online at www.pecounty.on.ca; hard copies may be obtained by visiting the Edward Building, 2nd Floor Reception, 280 Main St., Picton from Monday-Friday, 8:30am²4:30pm.

OYSTER, from page 1
As the evening wore on, Rotarians continued to hustle to raise money as they collected bets for the horses at Rotary Downs and worked their casino booths, backed by the distinct voice of blues singer Danny Marks. A live auction, hosted once again by Manson and Lori Slik with the help of several Rotarians brought in big bids on items like a Guy Lafleur signed Montreal Canadiens sweater, an origi-
nal Aidan Haley painting, motorcycle jackets, and several prizes featuring county wines and culinary items. The silent auction also did quite well, though Jones said the club had not yet totalled the money raised from the evening. While all that entertainment occurred, a small group of Rotarians worked away at whittling down a big board featuring all the guests present that evening until Rosalie Starkey was the last one standing to win the $1,000

Flowers by Marvin SERVING PICTON AND QUINTE AREA FOR 34 YEARS Sobeys Plaza, Picton
It appears for now the municipality won't pursue any changes to the county's official plan or zoning bylaws as they relate to the location of group homes. A motion on last week's committee-of-the-whole agenda called for staff to initiate changes to the official plan and comprehensive zoning bylaw that would implement separation distances between group homes and a density target which would limit the number of group homes per population. The motion came out of a request made by council last year that staff report on the opportunities available to the municipality to regulate group homes and the potential for such minimum distance separation between the facilities. However, councillor Dianne O'Brien withdrew the motion. She said council had requested a report back in June 2012 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which councillors received last week â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but since that time discussions between the community and the group home have improved.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I put this motion on the agenda to make sure the public are aware of the options available to the municipality to regulate group homes,â&#x20AC;? she said. The issue stemmed from an incident involving runaways from Bayfield Treatment Centre in Consecon which resulted in thousands worth of property damage and vandalism to homes in the area. A memo dated March 6 from manager of planning Jo-Anne Egan to the mayor and councillors says municipalities across Ontario approach group homes in various ways â&#x20AC;&#x201D; most through policies of their official plan and zoning bylaws. These include requirements like a minimum setbacks from other residences, minimum setbacks from other group homes, and limited number of facilities per 1,000 population. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's clear that any action taken through the planning act will not apply to existing group homes,â&#x20AC;? O'Brien said. Since the time council requested a report on the op-
portunities to regulate the homes, O'Brien said local group homes have been working diligently with the community to resolve the issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The existing group homes are working very, very well with people in the community. I understand that the concerns of the community are being addressed,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I applaud Bayfield and the community for working together so hard â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and they have.â&#x20AC;? O'Brien said some of the agreements already reached revolve around improved communication between residents and the group home. A town hall meeting will be held at Ameliasburgh Town Hall on May 6 at 6:30 p.m. to â&#x20AC;&#x153;roll out their plan for better communication and the community has other retribution concerns which Bayfield has addressed,â&#x20AC;? O'Brien said. She said she was withdrawing the motion to give the community and the group home a chance to complete their discussion, but said if the talks fall through she'll consider bringing the motion back.

NC)—Mothers are so busy taking care of everyone else, they often put themselves last on the list. If you are a busy mom, here are some simple ideas to nurture and pamper yourself and keep that inner spark glowing: Diet and Exercise: Women who eat right and get enough sleep usually experience greater levels of energy, lower levels of stress, and increased self-esteem. In fact, some forms of exercise can be fun to do with children too, so everyone can benefit. Home Spa: A woman deserves to be pampered, but she doesn't always have the time or budget to get away for some spa time. Why not turn your bathroom into a home spa to help you enjoy the relaxation and beauty benefits of a sublime soak. Pursue Hobbies: A few hours of pure creative engagement apart from the family (think art class, photography, or a pottery workshop) can recharge your batteries.
Volunteer: Volunteering is another way to nurture your interests and connect with other people. This is especially important for stay-at-home moms. Find a cause you're passionate about, or get involved with a local organization like Christian Children's Fund of Canada (www.ccfcanada.ca) and help improve the lives of children and mothers living in poverty around the world. Build Your Support Network: Who's on your speed dial? Develop a set of close connections you can depend on in a pinch, and vice versa. Most professionals agree that it's important for mothers to aim for balance in their lives.

Canadian C Canad anadian dian Green Green C Car ar Award! Award! w Sleek and aerodynamic design, wind-tunnel tested for optimum travel through air slipstreams, the 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid is well deserving of the inaugral Canadian Green Car Award, awarded in a joint initiative by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada and Green Living Enterprises. Our turbocharged, direct-injection EcoBoost® gasoline engines, featuring instantaneous low-end torque responsiveness and virtually no turbo lag, squeeze maximum power and efficiency from each drop of fuel. On Fu-sion, we’ve paired our EcoBoost with Auto Start-Stop. This new feature shuts off engine power when Fusion comes to a complete stop and seamlessly restarts it as you release the brake pedal, helping to reduce fuel consumption. Further features make the 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid a leader environmentally conscious, luxury vehicle. Seating that uses 100% recycled materials, voice-activated technology, lane-keeping systems, adaptive cruise control and forward collision warning, and active park assist. Finally, the Re-generative Braking System captures over 90% of brake energy, and uses it to help recharge the battery and maximize your distance. Even when you’re stopping, you’re moving forward in Fusion Hybrid. Very smart. Just like the 2013 Ford Fusion.
Ford Fusion Hybrid - Your Ally on the Road
