Most Canadians feel a closeness to Terry Fox through their participation in runs for cancer research or through stories passed down about his courageous crossCanada tour.

This week, students at three county elementary schools had a chance to learn more about that story from someone who as close to Terry as anyone in life, his brother Fred Fox, who was just 14 months older and did many things with his brother throughout their lives.

Sandwiched between visits to Sophiasburgh Central and C.M.L. Snider, Fox brought banners to AtholSouth Marysburgh Public School, commemorating Terry Fox runs in the county's south end for the past 25 years raising more than $59,000 for cancer research.

Wearing a shirt with bearing his brother's likeness, Fox said some of the charac-

teristics that would serve Terry well in his bout against cancer showed up at a young age.

"We would have been about three or four years old living in Winnipeg," he recalled. "We had these wooden blocks and Terry was trying to make a pyramid. He'd get two rows up and it would fall. He'd build three or four rows and it would tumble again. Not once did Terry think about quitting, being frustrated, or throwing his hands up in the air. He stuck with it until he got that last block on top of the pyramid. He'd be so proud of what he started."

Fox said their parents instilled in them an idea that they follow through to finish anything they'd start, even if it was as simple as a colouring book page. Coupled with that dedication were life lessons like honesty, integrity, and the value of hard work.

Fred Fox said while most people would think his brother was an acclaimed

athlete and student, it was not always so. In Grade 5, young Terry got a steady diet of Cs on his report card and his teacher actually told him he had to work harder.

In athletics, it was more of the same, Fred said, as he told the story of his brother trying out for the junior high basketball team.

"If he wasn't the smallest Grade 8 boy he was the second or third," he said, recalling the coach told his brother he should try cross country or wrestling instead. Undeterred Terry persisted and hit the gymnasium in almost every spare moment he could.

"He never quit. That year, he sat on the bench 90 per cent of the time," Fred said.

"By Grade 10, Terry was one of the starting guards and the captain of the team."

By the time he graduated high school in 1976, Terry Fox had won athlete of the year, not because of his prowess but because he was willing to try all the sports available to him without fear

of failure. Fred said in their teenage years, he and Terry would often compete with each other — kicking long field goals, picking berries, anything that could be a challenge.

"Even though I was a year older, Terry beat me 80 per cent of the time. He was more focused and determined than I was," he said.

Terry walked onto the basketball team at Simon Fraser University, where he played alongside future Toronto Raptors coach Jay Triano. He also played highlevel rugby and soccer at the school, so when he felt a bit of pain on his knee, according to Fred, his brother didn't worry too much, perhaps chalking it up to the wear and tear on it. In March 1977, the lives of all the members of the family changed. Fred detailed an inspiring moment his brother shared with him in the hospital the night before the surgery to amputate his leg.

After hearing some startling testimony from Consecon and area residents last week, committee of the whole directed staff to bring forward a report on potential additional security measures the municipality can enforce on group homes within the county.

In the past two years the OPP have responded to 103 calls to Bayfield Treatment Centres' facilities. Bayfield is a treatment centre specializing in youth with special needs, including children who have experienced psychiatric, psychological, social and/or academic difficulties.

Bayfield's main treatment centre is in Consecon, but there are four in total — two in Carrying Place and one in Rossmore.

Close to 10 residents who spoke last Thursday described a state of fear which they say they have lived in after several incidents including break and enters, thefts and vandalism.

Representatives from Bayfield were on hand and were represented to the committee by their lawyer Richard Wright, who asked that the facility be able to provide a more detailed report to the committee on June 28.

“This is a highly regulated field, this is a field in which there is substantial data that this council should really be aware of before running to a particular conclusion or to try to put a band-aid on a particular issue,” said Wright.

Wright said Bayfield has immediately responded to issues as quickly and reasonably as they could.

“They are a corporate citizen who has dedicated itself to doing the best job in can within the community, helping the children and also responding responsibly to community needs,” he said.

Wind opponents stage information rally on eve of expected ruling on Ostrander Point project

AdAm BrAmBurger

Staff writer

With a government ruling on the controversial nine-turbine Ostrander Point wind project due as early as today, local industrial wind opponents continued to mount a fight Saturday.

About 400 people passed through the shed at the Milford Fairgrounds for an open-house style information session and rally.

The County Coalition for Safe and Appropriate Green

‘Where are the people's rights in all of this.’�

Dumbrille said the organizers tried to give people credible, peer-reviewed information to encourage them to ask questions for themselves.

She said, to her, it appeared at formal information sessions, the information was written by people hired by those with a vested financial interest in the projects — “ I'm not blaming them for doing that, that's a logical business move,� she said — but that doesn’t always give a complete picture.

Some presenters did seem critical of that format, however, going as far wearing

bines in place.

While one exhibitor lamented about the event being more “preaching to the converted,� organizer Anne Dumbrille said more people are starting to take notice and get involved. “People trusted that the government would do the right thing and the policies from the government would make sense and they wouldn't have to do their own homework,� she said. “It's becoming clear it is not working. It's not working in Europe, it's not working in Canada. We don't need something to reduce emissions, the cost of it is way out of sight, and the feeling is

Energy (CCSAGE) brought a host of people ranging from real estate agents, farmers , medical professionals, and naturalists to discuss the impacts of Ostrander Point and the larger White Pines project, which would see 29 turbines across the southern portion of the county in its first phase with plans for additional turbines later.

They shared literature about the economic impact of turbine projects, about human health, and about the migratory bird routes in the proposed area. In one instance, a Google Earth mapping even showed the views from a South Marysburgh home with the proposed tur-

“It took a lot of really good people. We Started organizing about a month ago with a lot of very hard working volunteers,� she said. “We’re very pleased. We haven't done a huge amount of advertising as we’re on a bare bones budget. A lot of people that care have contributed energies toward it and it's great.�

Dumbrille said despite the optimism of the rally energizing people, an air of nervousness overshadowed the event with decisions about Gilead Power’s Ostrander Point proposal on Crown land looming overhead. “We want community to let Dalton McGuinty know how we feel. We want to tell them ‘Don't be afraid to speak out. ‘“

Apparently CCSAGE reached its target audience as lawn signs touting the county as naturally green and turbine free and others contrasting a real white pine with an industrial wind turbine were moving like hot cakes with donations piling up.

In addition to the information session, the were musical performances about the turbine issue from the likes of the Openhearts Society and Emily Fennell and a canteen, courtesy of the Milford Bistro.

Dumbrille said CCSAGE put together the rally in less than a month’s time and was thrilled with the way the community came together for it.

Terroir festival showcases countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s distinct flavour

During Terroir, Rondeau and the wine producers also set up some tasting sessions attempting to explain the uniqueness of local wines in comparison to those from Ontario's other wine regions in the Niagara Peninsula and Essex County near Lake Erie.

In one such session, Lighthall Vineyards' Glenn Symons, Closson Chase's Keith Tyers, and Bergeron Estates' Dave Bergeron tried to explain the difference and in doing so, they all pointed to terroir.

Symons said the county is known for its limestone soils and the transference of minerality from the soil to the grapes. With shallower soil below heavy clay, he said it is much more difficult to grow vines here.

"It makes it a lot more difficult to manage, but from a results standpoint, it stands apart," he said. "It reduces yields and makes it that much more difficult for the vine. The more difficult light is for the vine, the better the resulting juice or wine would be."

Tyers said basically, the fractured limestone absorbs moisture from the soil, then when it warms, the water leaches back into the soil leaving minerals that transfer into the wine.

"The vine picks it up and the fruit is just the vessel for all that stuff under the soil," he said.

Dipchand said that's one thing she noticed and one thing she likes about the offering she tasted Saturday.

"You can taste that. There's a little bit more of a zing to it, a different character," she said.

the corridor from Toronto to Ottawa. Although we love the local support we receive, we want to bring in more people to realize this hidden gem off the 401," said Rondeau.

He added his company Power Juncture partnered with marketing companies and wine groups active in both major cities and brought in a number of people, including some on bus trips.

The county Dipchand and Prekupec seemed to discover is the one he says he's been selling.

"I love talking about the barns and about how nice people here," he said. "I tell people to ignore the closed signs at wineries â&#x20AC;&#x201D; don't just break in, but chances are they are probably in there and will probably open the door. It's nice here and the wines have

a unique flavour."

This year, the festival had a one-ticket policy, allowing guests up to eight hours of tastings on a single ticket and it offered what Rondeau described as an upgrade in the glasses themselves. He explained last year's glasses were so small, people couldn't get a nose into the bouquet and, therefore, had difficulty taking in the aroma of the wines. This year, larger glasses were available.

"World-class wines deserve a world-class glass.

Why stifle the wine?" he asked.

Pourers, like Carolyn Barnes, the retail and sales manager for newcomer Half Moon Bay Winery told the Gazette they were steady throughout the day with many questions and compliments.

www.bellevillevw.com

Elizabeth Dipchand and Greg Prekupec came up from Toronto looking for a different experience at the Terroir Wine Festival Saturday and the seventh staging of the show did not disappoint.

Some 20 members of the Prince Edward County Wine Growers Association (PECWGA) showed off the fruits of their labour at the Crystal Palace and their dedication was evident to the out-of-town visitors.

"The fact of the matter is that you get the feeling a lot of these people are in it for the passion of the wine. They obviously love the county and there's a huge amount of loyalty," said Dipchand. "In large part, a lot of larger wine events are commercial. You'll run across the occasional sommelier who really cares but they're not the people growing, the people selling, the people wholly invested."

Dipchand said she was pleased about how unpretentious the event is, noting that she and Prekupec enjoy drinking wine but don't have a lot of technical knowledge.

In some environments, they might be shunned. Here, they were welcomed to sample and share opinions.

Prekupec pointed out that not only are many of the concrete-and-glass shows in Toronto staffed by reps, the tastings are often too big and the nuance and subtleties of the wines are lost.

That's pretty much the desired outcome PECGWA was trying to promote with this festival according to Scott Rondeau, an event organizer it hired to operate the show this year for the first time. He said the organization was looking to showcase the county to a wider number of people.

■ Wellington merchants agreed that for the months of June, July, August, and September, they would close their doors at 12:30 p.m. each Wednesday to observe a mid-week half holiday.

■ At the annual meeting of the Prince Edward County Conservative Association, members spoke about the high costs of social welfare benefits and the efforts their prime minister, R.B. Bennett, was taking to reduce spending.

■ Clear conditions made for a special night at Pt. Traverse when the city lights of Oswego, N.Y. work visible to the naked eye. The city is located more than 40 miles across Lake Ontario, yet observers say the lights looked only a few miles away.

■ Residents were being told of a chance to buy a wife from South Africa for a rate of one cow up front and one per year. Marriages there slumped as many suitors could not offer the cows. Heavier girls brought higher prices than thin ones.

■ An official plan for Ameliasburgh Township was to be discussed by the public in a general meeting. The plan placed a priority on agriculture, limiting industry to the west along Hwy 33 and commercial areas to the “urban” sites of Carrying Place, Albury, Rednersville, and Rossmore. It also called for the creation of a large park or other designated public area near Lake Consecon to be shared by Ameliasburgh and Hillier Townships ■ The Terminal of Argosy Carriers on Lake Street saw its workers head to the picket lines as part of a Teamsters’ Union strike across Ontario. The transportation workers were looking for a three-year contract with a 30-per-cent wage increase and other fringe benefits. Some employees disagreed with the decision to strike.

30 years ago — 1982

■ The board of the Glenwood Cemetery was discussing embarking on a fundraiser to save the historic stone chapel on the property. Picton councillor Don Ward, one of the members of the board said it could take as much as $10,000 to restore the 80-year-old building and fix cracks in its stone walls.

Tennessee warblers rarely visit Tennessee It was in the early 1960s when local birders got an inkling that Prince Edward County might have some potential as a getaway for birders.

Members of the Kingston Field Naturalists had just made an exploratory trip to Prince Edward County and found its southeastern tip, Prince Edward Point, alive with spring migrants. Until then, only a few local birders, mainly members of the Quinte Field Naturalists, had really taken much notice of this long, largely uninhabited peninsula, jutting out into Lake Ontario.

Somewhat surprising is that this diminutive point of land hadn’t been recognized much earlier. It had long been known that Point Pelee’s legendary popularity came as a result of its unique position in Lake Erie, serving as a catch basin for spring migrants having just migrated across the open waters of the lake.

The rich habitat provided the exhausted migrants with plenty of insect larvae to build up their reserves so they could continue their migration. While they rested and fed, others came in behind them, resulting in a piling up effect - a fallout, in bird-speak, that would attract birders from far and wide. And, up the Lake Erie shoreline these points of land in Lake Erie became known to birders searching for places to enjoy their hobby — Rondeau Provincial Park, and Long Point Provincial Park. In Lake Ontario, Presqu’ile Provincial Park’s 800 hectares at Brighton with its concentration of varied habitat, was similarly recognized.

But, there it ended. Prince Edward County, due to its much larger size, went largely unrecognized for many years, until

that memorable visit to the county’s southeastern tip in the 1960s. Today, Prince Edward Point has become renowned for its concentrations of migratory birds, with over 300 of the county’s 351 documented species of birds having been recorded here. So spectacular is its spring migration, that densities and numbers of species often surpass those at Lake Erie’s Point Pelee.

Thousands of songbirds have been banded through the auspices of the Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory, representing hundreds of species.

Northern Saw-whet owls, whose migratory habits and destinations are not well understood, are banded at night at Prince Edward Point from September through October. Because of the Point’s importance to migratory birds in eastern Ontario, approximately 560 hectares were purchased and set aside by the Canadian Wildlife Service, in 1976, to become the Prince Edward Point National Wildlife Area.

While the presence of the observatory, trails and other facilities tend to lure avid birders to

the Point proper, truth is the entire south shoreline all the way to Point Petre is a magnet. During last week’s successful Spring Birding Festival, I had the pleasure of accompanying Ted Chesky and 22 others on a guided hike at Ostrander Point.

He is in charge of Important Bird Areas (IBA) in Canada, and we weren’t long in finding out why the entire south shore has been designated an IBA. Both clay-colored and grasshopper sparrows, two species seldom seen anymore, provided song throughout our walk, accented by the flute-like calls of wood thrushes, warbling vireos, catbirds, and brown thrashers.

The cumulative list grew exponentially the farther we walked. While some uninformed residents of this area would have us believe there is nothing along the south shore except “crud, mud and scrub”, it took only the probing eyes of our group to unveil the plethora of biodiversity that sprang forth as we walked along beside carpets of delicately hued Houstonia and other wildflowers.

The festival which drew hundreds of people from at least four U.S. states, Quebec and across Ontario, regrettably, still remains largely unacknowledged by many local residents.

Point Pelee continues to be a mindset among many faithful birders who travel there each spring, but visitation to the festival would indicate that more non-residents are rethinking their destination plans.

We still have a long way to go in convincing birders that there is stuff to see in the southeastern reaches of Prince Edward County – well over 30 species of migrant warblers, some days literally hanging off the trees, flycatchers, thrushes –

close to 350 species in total.

One morning I tallied 12 species of warblers in just four minutes as I stood in one spot just off the road, and by midmorning, 22 species of warblers had been seen. All of them flashing their colours against a spectacular backdrop of scarlet tanagers and Baltimore orioles.

It doesn’t get any better than this.

It’s a hard sell but the Prince Edward Field Naturalists and the Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory have done a praiseworthy job of getting the word out and providing guided hikes, displays, workshops and other events during the 10 day event each year.

If visitors to Point Pelee can drop $4 million tourist dollars into its local economy from shoulder season birding, then surely we can do it here, as our migrant numbers often surpass those at Pelee. But, we need to convince local media, local government, accommodations, and local birders, that their presence and support are needed too. To date, that has been sadly lacking ever since 1997 when the birding festival idea was conceived as a way to bring tourist dollars into this area and promote local birding.

We’re sitting on a gold mine here, while tourist dollars migrate to the traditional birding locations, and many local birders blissfully unaware of what lies beyond their backyard bird bath a short drive away.

anonymity, Ministry of Health and Long-term Care officials along with officials from the multi-national long-term care conglomerate Extendicare visited the aging facility on Tuesday and informed senior staff the longterm care licence held by owner Stephen Bordo of SeniorsCare was being revoked and residents would soon start being relocated

to other facilities.

The source indicated it’s believed Extendicare will, on behalf of the Ministry, facilitate the shuttling of residents and taking over the payroll of Picton Manor as it is ramped down.

The move by the ministry comes as the facility was attempting to bring its electrical system up to code.

The 78-bed facility (57 of which are occupied currently) incorporates part of what was Picton's original hospital and was issued an “immediate threat to life” order by the Prince Edward County fire department in early February due to electrical system issues.

Diversion, prevention best medicine for aging population

CENSUS data released by Statistics Canada this week says that 14.8 per cent of Canadians are now 65 and older and projections indicate that number will steadily rise within the foreseeable future as the country’s median age is now above 40.

Those numbers are frightening, particularly when one considers that Ontario’s Ministry of Health and Long-term Care estimates that 25,000 people in this province are waiting for long-term care beds now and the Ontario Home Care Association stated in 2010 that more than 150,000 people in the province are purchasing home care above that which is funded in this province.

With those statistics in mind, the provincial budget crunch making it harder for new investment to happen, and ominous news of the rumoured closure of existing facilities like Picton Manor, one must wonder how our society is ever going to be able to treat its aging population to ensure people get the care they need without digging a much larger hole in the public purse. The answer must be one of diversion and one of prevention.

While home care and long-term care facilities represent necessities for a growing portion of the population, efforts must be continued to ensure that Canadians can live at home longer with the ability to take care of themselves outside the system.

That said, what limited resources are available must be put into programs that promote healthy living and education. Funding services like dietitians, therapists, and rehab and fitness instructors would help to keep people healthy longer. Allowing paramedics to do more work on preventative medicine, rather than just emergency response might also be a way to keep people out of hospitals.

In this shifting culture, it is also important to support the efforts of groups like Community Care For Seniors, who try to provide support mechanisms in the community for those who may be struggling to stay at home and to pay the bills. By offering a bit of support and direction, these organizations often can be the difference between adding to those ominous waiting lists or diverting strain from the medical system, freeing up professionals to provide quicker, more thorough care for those who most need it.

The solution to coping with Canada’s aging population is not one that any single generation can tackle, nor is it one that should be left to government, long-term care operators, or any specific sector of the health care field. It requires a holistic approach from all sectors of the community working in unison to improve quality of life.

Fortunately, here in the county, the Prince Edward Family Health Team realized this early and began making preparations with various agencies in the community to come up with such an approach. By working together, the stakeholders in this community can make a difference here and that will help alleviate the crunch on a broader level.

Thankfully, the work has already begun.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Wolfe Island studies don’t offer complete picture

In his letter, Rob Williams (May 24, 2012) argued that herons are in no danger from industrial wind turbines because they don't appear on the bird kill lists from Wolfe Island.

Various industrial wind turbine proponents would love us to take those birdkill statistics at face value, but the methodology behind the lists reminds us that there are lies, damned lies and statistics.

The bird kill lists are, in fact, as much hypothetical as factual.

Firstly, the only dead birds counted are the ones on the concrete pad around an industrial wind turbine and the ones on its access road. There's a problem right there, since a blade spinning at high velocity won't necessarily dump dead birds in those two areas.

Secondly, there are predators. To a raccoon or a coyote, a wind turbine access road can seem like a superhighway — and look, freshly killed dinner, too. Redtailed hawks, golden eagles

and other birds check out this 'cafeteria' as well.

So the numbers of dead birds still present when the census is taken is also going to under-represent the birds actually killed.

Thirdly, the total is "extrapolated" from the numbers of dead birds still remaining when the censustakers made their rounds.

Lots of room for error there.

The absence of a bird species from a bird kill list doesn't mean none were killed. It may only mean that predators got there first, or

that dead birds of that species were flung far away from the concrete pad or the access road.

Before environmental protection was gutted in the recent Ontario budget bill, heronries were recognized as a wildlife habitat that needed special protection -an implicit acknowledgement by the government that herons could be threatened by industrial wind turbines.

Pamela Stagg North Marysburgh

Cost and source of energy production the real issue

The current opponents in the wind turbine debate are barking up the wrong tree..

There may be some problems associated with them and some gains for farmers with arid soil, but the real issue is about money, not production of electric power.

The McGuinty government must somehow satisfy the high cost of maintaining Ontario Hydro, the most expensive employee workforce in Canada. It is said

that a tree cutter earns in excess of $70,000 annually.

Electric power purchased from our neighbouring province is considerably cheaper that the price from Ontario Hydro.

Residences who have excess power generated by several ways are unable to sell it to the grid. They are told we have excess power.

Why are we building wind turbines? Is the Liberal government in the pockets of

Korean and German manufacturers? Where are Canadian manufacturers of wind turbines in this mix?

Apart from the introduction of smart meters, the Liberal government has done nothing to cut down the use of electricity. We can cut down the use by at least 2030 per cent with a little encouragement. The money spent on wind turbines can be easily redirected to aid many of us to install solar

panels and other power generating devices.

The price we pay for hydro in Ontario is the highest in the Country. Wind turbines will not even begin to reduce this high cost.

I urge the protesters to redirect their drive and force the government to address the real issue — production, cost and source of electricity.

There are only a few days left until the May 31 deadline by which the Ontario government could announce a decision to reject Gilead Power’s bid to construct a nine-turbine wind energy factory on Ostrander Point.

This Crown land, managed by the Ministry of Natural Resources, is in a globally significant Important Bird Area as well as important habitat for the threat-

ened Blandings turtle. Is the government delaying its decision until passage of Bill 55 that is now before the legislature?

Bill 55 contains, in its Section 19, an amendment to the Endangered Species Act whereby it is currently illegal for developers to “kill, harm and harass” the endangered species that inhabit Ostrander Point.

If no decision is

announced by May 31, and Bill 55 passes, Gilead may be free to begin construction of the roads and industrial wind turbines in this, Ontario’s highest bird migration corridor — reputedly traveled by more migrating birds than Point Pelee!

This project is fraught with blatant conflicts of interest on the part of MNR whose behaviour in this project’s approval process

already clashes with its mandate and custodial responsibilities. It now appears that our Endangered Species Legislation must also be amended to enable “green energy” developers to legally wreak their carnage on the very creatures that MNR was created to protect.

Outrageous!

Spending a day in someone else’s seat Gazette editor uses wheelchair in Quinte Access-a-thon

There's a downhill grade on the sidewalk, a pile of dust accumulated to push through, and an unsteady feeling, knowing the wheels are starting to turn into oncoming traffic.

It's a position most people never find themselves in, but nonetheless one that was making my heart beat much quicker Saturday morning as the light turned green and the cars started approaching from the east and west on Hwy 2 in the east end shopping district of Quinte West.

Trying to compensate for the wheelchair's momentum, I desperately pulled and wheeled myself back toward the curb in front of the A+W restaurant and nearly flipped over on my side.

That was the first big wake-up call of the Quinte Access-a-thon, an awareness activity organized by Quinte Access, the provider of transportation for physically disabled people in Prince Edward County, Brighton, and Quinte West. It was the first such event in three years after Quinte Access had staged it the previous eight years since 2000. Prior to descending on the city, 11 teams of two participants had to take turns participating in an obstacle course in their chairs, getting a good arm workout while manoeuvring forward and backward through pylons, up onto the grass, and through sand, which was also supposed to simulate winter snow and slush.

Organizer Bill Vandervoort told us there was a simple goal for the day.

"The one thing we all have to remember is this event is to make you, the participants, aware of what people that spend their lives in wheelchairs have to do and what they work with every day," he said. "This is for awareness to be in the chair — just like them — so stay in the chair."

Each of the teams was given a set of rhyming clues, which would take them on a route toward city businesses.

One partner was to stay in the chair and his cohort —in my case Quinte West public works engineer Chris Ellerton — wasn't to offer a push or help unless there was dire need to do so. Most teams had a volunteer travelling with them documenting their observations about accessibility and ensuring they stayed on the route planned for them and on time. For us, that was former Quinte West chief executive officer Ken Love.

IN THE CHAIR

Initially, while leaving the waterfront market, a lesson hit home that from time-totime, I'd have to rely on the assistance of others. To get to Zellers, I had to take an access bus and it was a very difficult feeling to to have to wait for driver Debbie Shaw to instruct me where to position the chair to be lifted onto the vehicle, and to have to wait for her to strap me into place before moving.

For the most part, Zellers was a breeze. Wide aisles made it very easy, and the sunscreen we needed to find was within reach. Some of the little things one takes for granted like not having to

wait to exit through the checkouts without purchase didn't exactly apply.

Crossing the parking lot and the street was the next challenge, specifically in the heat. Instead of looking for the quickest route, our team had to be aware of slopes in the parking lot itself, as well as areas where we could reach the curb via a suitable ramp. Finally using nearly all of my breath to cross the road on a hot day, I hit that downward rut and had the harrowing experience.

The A+W parking lot was again a maze, trying to find the right curb to enter upon.

Once there, we spotted a door with a wheelchair sign upon it and tried to enter. It didn't have push buttons and it was quite a narrow door. I tried opening it from the side, but couldn't swing around to enter. I tried opening it head-on, only to bang my shins. Finally, I was able to stick my foot out and prop it open — something that many people in chairs without full leg function may not be able to do on their own.

One patron, who didn't know what we were doing, congratulated me on my efforts and that brought a smile to my face as I rolled up to the counter for a Double Teen burger — no, a clue.

It was off to First Choice Haircutters then and another stretch of wheeling around traffic, spotting sidewalks, and trying to enter. Again, it was a difficult narrow door to enter. Much to my delight, one of the young stylists was at the door immediately to open it and offer assistance. I tried backing in as I had seen some people do, but not being able to judge the right angle, I had to spin around and move forward.Wheeling ahead, I smacked my right hand on the door frame, cutting it open.

My next — and final — task at Canadian Tire was an easy one with automatic doors, wide aisles, and friendly patrons getting out of my way. Ellerton had a similar easy time at his first stop at Smylie's Independent Grocer, grabbing his item off the shelves and checking out with ease.

Travel to his next stop Dairy Queen (and yes, the trend of appetizing fast food was feeling like cruel punishment) would be his toughest challenge. There was no sidewalk up to the eastern traffic light, leaving him to face turning traffic blindly.

Across the road, his option was to roll his chair up onto the grass or roll onto the four-lane highway to reach the parking lot. The curb of the restaurant was hard for him to roll onto as he had to

search several times for a thin spot to struggle up. Getting into the restaurant proved no easier as there was a lip into the door that was almost impossible.

From there, we rolled back to Zellers, boarded a bus and headed downtown.

Crossing a street without a crosswalk and heading up a waterfront path with uneven pavers proved to be challenges Ellerton could beat as we arrived back at our starting point.

For Ellerton, the day was a chance to connect some of the engineering concepts discussed as part of roads projects to his own experiences.

As someone who is already primarily concerned with safety, he said he has a new appreciation for grading and conditions of city- and privately-owned sidewalks and curbs as well as accessible entrances for buildings.

"It gave us a greater awareness of the challenges," he's aid. "I know our sidewalk access needs to be a bit more approachable. Now this will help get proposals on the books."

While Love said some accessibility improvements will take time, he was encouraged by the awareness merchants and others showed participants.

"People were aware.

There were three or four occasions there where they came over and were willing to help you," he said.

PICTON PLANS

Quinte Access will be taking the information collected and sharing it with Quinte West's accessibility advisory committee, an event co-sponsor. The organization's executive director Nadyne Mattis also said it hopes to extend this type of awareness event to all the areas it serves, including Picton. It picked up the Prince Edward County contract after the previous Access-a-thons took place.

"We'd like to do something like this down in Picton," she said. "We're just back doing accessible transit in Prince Edward County and we'd like to do some more activities down there."

Mattis said whether it from was Quinte West Mayor John Williams, Quinte West-Northumberland MPP Lou Rinaldi or the many media and community representatives participating, the responses were similar.

"We always hear 'What an eye opener that was,'" she said. "There are cracks in the sidewalks, things you don't even thing would be an obstacle for anybody. It's a whole different perspective."

Councillors dialed into community radio venture County backs CRTC application Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

Councillors have shown their support for Prince Edward County Community Radio.

Committee of the whole voted to provide a letter of support on behalf of the municipality for the Prince Edward County Community Radio Station's application to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC).

PEC Community Radio board or directors chair Treat Hull spoke to the committee last Thursday, where he provided a brief overview of the project and its current status.

Hull said the station is expecting to submit its license application in June. He said there are currently about 160

members of the corporation and, by the time the application is submitted, anticipates a membership of about 250.

“Should we achieve our goal of 250 members that would be approximately one per cent of the total population of Prince Edward County and I believe it will be an unprecedented level of support for an application put forward to the CRTC,” Hull said.

Hull said when the CRTC considers an application it bases a strong emphasis on community support. He said the corporation already had 15 letters of support before getting the municipality's support including letters from Prince Edward-Hastings MP Daryl Kramp, MPP Todd Smith, Starboard Communications, Quinte Broadcasting and numerous county organizations.

county has significant financial challenges and so we're not asking for money,” Hull said.

The station will broadcast on the FM band from a tower that will enable it to reach the entire county. Hull said programming will be diverse and will represent the composition of the communities in the county.

“Many communities similar in size to our own are already served by community radio stations similar to the one we propose,” he said.

He noted similar community stations on Amherst Island, in Fergus and in Haliburton.

Hull said there has already been some intense debate about the frequency at which the station will broadcast. He said the frequencies have to be secured by a broadcast engineer. He said a frequency which left significant portions of the county without coverage has already

“You have to make sure you don't mess with any adjacent stations, but also cover your area,” he said. “If we can't reach all of the county, it's not a county radio station.”

He said there's no guarantee every citizen will get a clear signal, but he said the goal is to reach virtually all of Prince Edward County.

A report provided to councillors last week said staff have reviewed the station's business plan and researched other community radio stations.

“It was agreed that the business plan is reasonable and that the proposal will have a positive impact on the community and local businesses,” the report said. “Furthermore it will provide another outlet for municipal information to be disseminated and for public input to be obtained.”

Those looking for a fine evening of classical music need look no further than the Church of St. Mary Magdalene in Picton this weekend.

On Saturday three young area musicians will be using their craft to make sure music always has a presence at the church.

Naomi Garrett, Luke Bell, and Duncan McDonald will be playing to raise money for the St. Mary Magdalene’s piano fund.

The church has long been the principal concert venue for the Prince Edward County Music Festival,but for some time has gone without one of classical music's most important instruments — a piano. Recently, the church was able to purchase a C7 Yamaha grand piano which now sits in the sanctuary. In order to pay for the purchase the church has planned a number of fundraising events, including the upcoming concert.

All three performers are first-year bachelor of music students from the Quinte area who have taken part in many concerts and festivals around the region.

Garrett is a violinist and music education student at McGill University in Montreal. She began to play the violin when she was age four under Gisele Dalbec in Kingston. Since then she has participated many times in the Rotary Music Festival in Belleville, winning the Silver Strings competition and the Rose Bowl competition simultaneously in 2010. She has also played in the violin sections of the Kingston and Quinte symphonies. She has also become a familiar face in the county as the leading lady in several local theatre productions.

A pianist, Bell began his musical studies at the age of 16 under Cynthia Tormann in Kingston.

In 2007, 2009 and 2011, he won the Silver Tray at the Rotary Music Festival. From there, Luke has been sent to provincial competition level three times, placing third in 2009, and second in 2011.

He has just completed his first year of a bachelor’s in music performance at the University of Ottawa under the tutelage of Stéphane Lemelin, who is also the artistic director of the Prince Edward County Music Festival. Bell will perform in the 2012 edition of the festival.

Making use of the church’s Casavant organ will be Duncan McDonald.

This past school year he studiedorgan performance under John Grew at McGill University. He began to play the instrument when he was 14, and took lessons from Canadian organist and county native William Maddox throughout high school.

Prior to this, Duncan was a piano student under Heather Ross of Milford. He has collaborated many times as an organist with the Prince Edward County Ecumenical Choir.

This won't be the three musicians' first performance together. They took part in the first two student concerts organized by the music festival.

Jennifer Bell said the young musicians have been rehearsing for weeks, with parents helping out here and there with the organization of the concert.

“They've been getting together on their own at the church and putting a lot of hours into it,” she said.

Bell said until now the church has had to rent a piano for any performances.

The concert will feature works by Bach, Beethoven, Duruflé, Mendelssohn, Mozart, and Schubert. It begins at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday June 2, at St Mary Magdalene. Tickets are $15 adults, $5 for students, available at the door.

Reaching For Rainbows girls’ program making progress as first year winds down Participants learning valuable, transferrable social skills AdAm BrAmBurger Staff writer

As the first year of the Reaching For Rainbows after-school girls program draws to a close, St. Andrew’s Presbyterian minister Lynne Donovan believes it is working.

While Donovan has seen the changes in the 12 Grade 1 girls participating in the program three days a week firsthand, she bolsters her optimism with reports from people who have an even closer rapport with them.

“I talked to a few of the parents and in listening to them, learned they are deeply grateful,” she said, adding that seeing their children happier and gaining extra opportunities has also taken a weight off their own shoulders.

The program also seems to be getting thumbs up from local school teachers and administrators. Earlier this week, Donovan met with principals and elementary school teachers from the Picton area to discuss the progress made.

Queen Elizabeth Public School principal Bill Launderville said the effects of the program were evident in the way the students acted at school this year.

“We have seen the benefits for the Reaching For Rain-

bows program as the students involved have started to show more confidence in their interactions with their peers,” he said. “They have learned to be a good peer and even more importantly, they are gaining the skills to work through conflict to build relationships for success.”

Donovan said that development has been made possible by putting the girls in an environment where the pressure is off and where they can feel their own way along.

“We’re building an environment of trust, it’s a safe place where they can open up on their own terms.”

While energetic and eager volunteers participate actively with the girls’ one-on-one and in small groups on skills like art, reading, or mathematics, it has also been stressed that the girls take ownership in theproject

with the challenges presented and that is in the works for next year.

Then, a second group of up to 12 Grade 1 students will enter the program for two nights a week, while the students moving to Grade 2 will also attend on two alternate nights.

Already volunteers are lined up for a third year where Grade 3 students could have a program tailored to their interests with activities such as yoga, drama, or fine arts.

“We’re looking for a time when those girls can come back and provide mentorship,” she said. “It’s like a family, we don’t want this to be a program you graduate from.”

To keep that going, however, Reaching For Rainbows requires sustainable funding.

The St. Andrew’s congrega-

through making choices for themselves.

“In a lot of situations, we spent time telling them what to do and then expect them to make decisions,” said Donovan. “Here, they have opportunities to make their own decisions. They thrive on that.”

In a program designed by a leading child development expert, Donovan said the girls are given chances to be leaders in the group and take on roles, such as the director of clean-up efforts.

“We’re using a lot of different tools to help with the bigger goal of life skills and good decision-making skills,” she said.

That’s not to say the program has been completely without hiccups. Donovan said they realized volunteers could receive more training on an ongoing basis to deal

said Donovan.

She added she’d still like to see a time where 200 families can support the program at $100 a year, making it sustainable. Once that happens, other ideas, like developing a matching boys’ program could be considered.

Following a successful open house last weekend, St. Andrew’s will be holding a celebration event for Reaching For Rainbows and its many partners Sunday at 10:30. Soul singer Tabby Johnson will play with Tom Leighton at that event.

Speaker Jeff Young to be focal point of CLIC photo show this August Toronto-based photographer and educator to speak about digital photography project telling story of African villagers Chad Ibbotson Staff writer

This year's CLIC Eastern Ontario Photo Show and Sale will have an added dimension.

Organizer announced this week that the show would feature a guest speaker for the first time in the event's three-year history.

Taking centre stage will

be Toronto-based educator, photographer and digital storyteller Jeff Young.

Young will be speaking on Saturday, Aug. 11 at 7 p.m. in the gallery above Books & Company at 289 Main Street in Picton.

Young will be speaking about the origins and development of a digital photography project he has co-ordinated over the past five years.

CLIC co-chair Susanne Barclay said guests to the show have mentioned their interest in a guest speaker in the past and having an expert talk about photography seemed like a natural progression for the show.

“This is the first time we've had an event like this, so we're very excited about that prospect,” she said. “This project that Jeff is involved in I think will be of interest to all kinds of photographers because it

dIgItal storyteller Photographer and teacher Jeff Young will be the inaugural guest speaker at the annual CLIC Eastern Ontario Photo Show. (Submitted photo)

focuses specifically on photography.”

She said in the shows third year the organizers were looking to try some new things and expand the possibilities of the show.

“It's just a natural evolution of the show. As we get more organized and know more about what people are asking … this seemed like the logical thing to do,” she said.

The show is aimed at all skill levels, regularly featuring students, amateurs and professionals alike. Barclay said the show has consistently had a positive balance between the three. She said she's hoping all three groups as well as visitors take an interest in the show.

“The reality is the word is getting out there. Every year more and more people are hearing about us, so we

have more people entering, which is great,” she said.

In 2007 Young combined his love of photography and commitment to teaching by creating the African not-for-profit project Village Galleries. In response to a call for help from Maasai elders who feared the erosion of their culture because their language as no written component, Young and a team of educators and photographers travelled to Tanzania to teach digital storytelling to 500 Maasai villagers.

That journey was featured on an edition of CBC News Sunday.

Young continued his work in Africa in 2008 in Benin with the Big Books Project, which distributed 8,000 indigenous prekindergarten textbooks.

Last year, Young was proj-

ect manager for In My Own Eyes, which taught digital storytelling to seven First Nations communities in Ontario, resulting in over 50 young people telling their photo stories on the internet in a travelling photography display.

Young's will speak about all of the projects in his presentation titled From Tanzania to Moose Factory: A Digital Storytelling Journey.

Barclay said the presentation is exciting for CLIC organizers and adds an educational component to the event, sharing the power of photography and how it can enrich lives.

“He's got this incredible experience with these shows he's been involved in. He also is a very accomplished photographer himself,” she said. “It's not just being a photographer, but being somebody who uses that art to benefit other people, which I think is brilliant.”

Tickets to the show are $10 and can be purchased at the door or at any time from the show desk during the CLIC Eastern Ontario Photo Show and Sale which takes place from Aug. 4 to 12 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. Proceeds from ticket sales will support the Community Health Africa Trust mobile health clinic in Laikipia, Kenya.

For those that want to enter the photo show, entries must be received by June 15. For more information visit www.easternontariophotoshow.com.

Solar powers production as Harwood Estates Vineyards is off the grid

Last week we visited Pat and Heidi Del-Gatto at their winery in the eastern part of the county.

This week we travel to the other end of the county and explore another unique winery located in our backyard; Harwood Estates Vineyards.

The first thing you'll notice when you arrive is the large solar panels just outside the main buildings.

Then you might notice that there are no wires carrying electricity to the winery.

That's right! Harwood Estates is completely off the grid. They are solar powered. In fact they like to say that: "both our vines and our winery are powered by the sun".

Owners John Rode and Kerry Wicks came up with this unique concept because they felt strongly that it makes the most sense to generate electricity at the location where it will be used rather than to truck it down miles and miles of wires with their mammoth associated losses. They think the sun could power Ontario at a fraction of the cost of other (such as wind) technologies. And I couldn't agree more.

Rode is the engineer behind their collection of solar electricity generating mechanisms, keeping a large amount of energy flowing from a relatively modest panel array at the winery, and supplying power all over the property via smaller panels. In fact, two university engineering departments have studied Harwood's installation with keen interest.

And contrary to what some people may think, they don't suffer from using this free (and safe/quiet) energy. They have customer WI-FI, lights, music, computers, printers, refrigeration, fans, extensive lab equipment, a dishwasher, pumps, bottling equipment, hot water, humidi-

Estates in both summer and winter and it was always enjoyable. I must admit though that the winter visit was very nice as they heat the winery and tasting room with a wood fire. As we entered out of the cold of winter and into the cosy tasting room, the smells of the fire coupled with the aroma

fiers, air conditioners, and endless other gadgets all powered by the sun.

Another thing I really enjoyed (aside from the wine of course) was the food at Harwood.

As well as being owner, Wicks is also the house chef. You'll find some of her most recent wine and food pairings and personal favourite recipes on the Wine with Food Pairings page of their website — a page that gets a lot of visits every day. You'll usually meet Wicks in Harwood's tasting room on the weekends. She takes care of all their special events, organized tours, parties, and weddings.

Wicks is scouting-out the finest cheeses of Ontario and Québec, and, as she finds them, she's making them available, prepackaged in the Tasting Room.

Lauren Horlock is the winemaker at Harwood Estate Vineyards. She joined Harwood as winemaker and vineyard manager on May 10, 2011, bringing a strong professional reputation and winemaking talent honed across a path from Prince Edward County to New Zealand.

She has a formal education in the arts and sciences of

of the food only heightened our anticipation to taste some great wine. Again, we were not disappointed.

Her finest Harwood Estates winemaker Lauren Horlock pours some of her product, which she oversees from start to finish. (Joe Hache/For The Gazette) viniculture and viticulture, earned at the same school in Niagara where so many well-known winemakers have launched. But, more important than the training is her natural feeling for the vines and the thousands of mysterious, seemingly mystical steps that will turn them into wine.

Again we see a twist at Harwood. Not every winemaker is also the vineyard boss. They're two extremely complex disciplines that often seem to pull in opposite directions.

The wine industry is definitely a male dominated industry. Horlock told me that: "the most unique part of my title is vineyard manager. There are a handful of women winemakers but very few women vineyard managers. Its funny to go to the grape growers meetings. I am almost always the only female there!" In the few wineries where the winemaker calls the shots from start to finish, the results are generally outstanding.

And I have experienced some of these results firsthand, and I wasn't disappointed.

“Donna’s Ride For The Girls”

And Horlock is adventurous. They are already talking about inventing new winery experiences ... growing grapes that have never been tried in The County ... making more wines that everybody says are "impossible".

Harwood's three vineyards are all tended by hand throughout the year.

Their wines are made entirely from grapes grown in the soils of their three Estate Vineyards in Hillier.

The similarity of the soils of Hillier, Ontario and the soils of France's Burgundywine region are partly what has drawn so many notable winemakers to the Hiller sub-appellation of Prince Edward County.

WORKING WITH ONTARIO'S APPLE & TENDER FRUIT FARMERS

Ontario is working with producers to assess the damage, determine the implications and develop strategies to help farmers cope. Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, Ted McMeekin, toured a Beamsville orchard today to see firsthand the weather damage affecting Ontario's apple and tender fruit crops. Ontario’s Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, Ted McMeekin discussed frost damage to apple and tender fruit orchards while touring Mountainview Orchards near Beamsville.

(LtoR) Rich Feenstra, orchard owner and Ted McMeekin.

Early estimates suggest widespread damage to the Ontario apple crop as a result of frost hitting trees already in blossom. Other crops that are reporting significant damage include pears, cherries, peaches, nectarines, apricots and plums. Apple orchards in Georgian Bay and Southwestern Ontario are expected to suffer the greatest damage. The full extent of the province-wide impact will be known in coming weeks. Ontario offers a number of business support programs available to producers to help offset any losses. Supporting our farmers and agricultural industry is part of the McGuinty government's plan to create jobs, grow the economy and provide Ontario families with healthy, local food.

QUICK FACTS · Ontario accounts for 40 per cent of all the apples grown in Canada. · Ontario's apple crop has an annual farm gate value of $63 million. · Ontario's tender fruit crops have an annual farm gate value of $40 million.

Panthers send 17 from COSSA to East Regionals Jason Parks

Staff writer

It was another banner day for the PECI Panthers both as a team and individually at the Central Ontario Track and Field Championships in Belleville on Thursday as 17 members of the squad ran, jumped and threw their way to a birth into the East Regional Track and Field Meet in Brockville today and tomorrow.

As expected, Grade 9 superstar Cole Norton led the way for the Panthers, winning gold in the long jump (5.77 m) and triple jump (11.95 m) competitions in addition to winning the 100 m dash and setting a new meet record in the process with a time of

11.10.

First-year senior Courtney Wilson made it four gold medals on the day for PECI as she took the shotput competition with a toss of 10.07 m.

With those top finishes in addition to several qualifying (top five) efforts, it was a great outing for the club, no matter which way you slice it.

“I don't think we've ever had 17 athletes make it through COSSA and qualify for East Regionals,” PECI track coach Beth Nicholls said. “Usually seven to nine is par for us, so to have this many make it is truly fantastic.”

While the volume of PECI athletes competing today and tomorrow in Brockville is surprising, the fact Norton will lead the charge isn't.

One could be forgiven if they surveyed the scene at Fox Field Farm in Hillier ward on Monday afternoon and started to hum the Olympic theme music.

After all, one of Canada's best hopes at this summer's games in London was front and centre, putting about a dozen local equestrians and their steeds through their paces in a unique training session aimed at fostering the grass roots level of the sport.

Pan American Games gold medalist Jessica Phoenix took to the centre of the Fox Field Farm training ring as the Uxbridge native that specializes in the eventing discipline offered instruction, advice and tips to a bevy of enthused riders.

Fox Field Farm owner Nicole DeAraujo said the training session was won by the facility in a recent charity auction and a portion ($450) of the riders fees have been donated to the Red Cross.

She added the session filled up with in a day after being posted.

“It filled up pretty quickly and this is a great opportunity for them to take instruction from one of Canada's best equestrians,” she added.

Ashley Fincham, 17, of Wellington was one of the lucky equestrians taking part on Monday afternoon.

The PECI student who has been riding her whole life and took up the sport just two years ago said there was many things about equestrian that she loved including the adrenaline of riding over big jumps, getting dressed up and competing in the dressage event and the feeling she gets when it is just her and her horse in the ring.

Fincham took temporary leave of her studies on Monday but said there was no place she would rather be then in the ring, taking instruction from one of Cana-

da's best.

“It's amazing to be here with (Phoenix) and have the privilege of having her here and giving a lesson, my horse and I appreciated it a lot, we've learned so much today,” Fincham said.

For her part, Phoenix said she spent most of the day focusing on key components such as communication between horse and rider as well as rider balance.

She added grass roots events like Monday's session are important to develop both riders and the sport of equestrian.

“Equine Canada and the

Canadian Eventing Committee have done a fantastic job putting together an excellent training program under the direction of (US-Based) technical advisor and coach David O'Connor,” Phoenix said. “Being able to bring it to Canada and and share it with everyone in Canada from the grass roots level all the way up to the international level is important for our country and the sport.”

With the London games just under two months away, Phoenix said she should know in the very near future if she will be part of the Canadian contingent taking

part in the 30th Olympiad.

A virtual lock for the team, her excitement on Monday was palpable.

“Competing for your country is the biggest honour,” Phoenix said. “To stand on the podium, be surrounded by your teammates, hold a medal in your hand and hear your anthem being played, and share it with Canada is incredible and one of the best feelings in the world.”

“I hope to be doing that with my teammates in London later this summer,” she added.

Pirates ink forwards Doherty, Shields following strong rookie camps Duo fits into Woodward’s plan to get younger and tougher to play against in 2012-2013 campaign Chad ibboTson

Staff writer

J. doherTY

The Picton Pirates have begun to fill some holes in their lineup.

The club announced the signing of two 17 year old forwards for the upcoming season earlier this week.

Doherty and Derek Shields of Belleville will suit up for the Pirates this year.

“I am thrilled that both the Doherty and Shields families have chosen to send their sons to Picton for the upcoming season,” said Pirates coach and general manager Ryan Woodward.

“They are outstanding

players with tremendous character.”

A six-foot tall forward, Doherty brings high-end skill with some edge. He is a former Quinte Red Devil product and was a key member of the Stirling midget team last season.

Doherty is expected to provide some added grit,

Shields is a tenacious and gritty forward who is reliable defensively in all three zones is yet another product of the Quinte Red Devil AAA program to join the Pirates organization.

Woodward said last sea-

son, Shields primarily hit the ice a defenceman for the major midget because of injuries, but he is expected to bring energy to the Picton line-up, upgrade the penalty kill and be hard to play against.

Late outburst secures Panthers berth in final PECI never trails during semifinal win over Quinte

TRACK, from page 26

adam bramburger Staff writer

one giant leap Morgan Reynolds put forward his best head-first slide in an attempt to score during Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third inning, but the ball was there and Quinte Saints pitcher Kyle Oliver was able to apply the tag for an out.. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

showed its composure in pulling together that finish.

"You noticed when a lot of the runs were scored, they were late in the innings and late in the game. We didn't give them up," he said. "We stayed engaged each pitch, we knew what our responsibilities are when the pitch was being thrown. it was a well-played game."

The contest looked to be a pitchers' duel early on as PECI's Matt Gallo and Quinte's Kyle Oliver collectively allowed just two runners to reach scoring position by the midpoint of the third inning. That's when the Panthers bats would come alive.

Josh Arnold started his team's first rally with a bunt single and advanced past third base on a Kyle Gould single. He got caught in a rundown at home plate, however, and was out.

Instead of deflating, the Panthers picked up their game.

Wilson beat out a grounder on a controversial no-tag call at first, then Gallo belted a hard single up the middle for two runs. Morgan Reynolds drove him home, but was called out at home, unable to add to a three-run inning.

Arnold said his team's focus was a key attribute in that inning and beyond.

"If you let (mistakes) get to you, it throws you off. You just have to shake it off," he said. "We did it with a lot of energy and focus."

Quinte clawed back for two runs in the fifth and the Panthers answered for one with Andrew Dayton finding a hole near third base and giving way to pitch runner McConnell, who advanced to third on a McQuaid single, then stole home. Bateman replied for Quinte in the sixth

One of the province's top long jumpers for his age, the first year PECI student has been slowly increasing his jumps and shaving milliseconds of his sprint and only seems to be getting stronger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think he surprised himself on his 100-metre time,â&#x20AC;?

Nicholls said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From the start of the season till now, he's shaved a second off his time and this week will be interesting. He's being pushed more as the meets go on and he's responding.â&#x20AC;?

Wilson has been consistent performer for the school, qualifying for the Ontario championships for the past two years in the shot put .

Today, she will be trying to make it three straight seasons of competing at the highest level. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As long as she keeps putting up 10-metre throws, she will move on. She's also not that far off from qualifying for the discus event,â&#x20AC;?

Nicholls added.

Wilson picked up a silver in her secondary discipline with a throw of 28.77 m, although had she thrown her

seeded distance of 32.71, she would have come very close to winning a second gold medal.

PECI junior Mitch Reid also had a great day, placing second in the 200-metre dash event (24.20 s) and showing third in the high jump (1.65 m) and the long jump (5.60 m).

Other podium finishers included Senior Mitch Spencer who took second in javelin (45.31 m), Amanda Ostrander who came third in the 200 m dash (28.30 m) and Brad Reid who picked up a bronze in the Senior Long Jump (5.81 m).

Other qualifiers included Cailey Jones (junior 400metre run), Amber Miller (midget triple jump), Melissa Paradis (junior long jump), Hannah Smith (junior 800metre run and 1,500-metre run), Shane Smith (junior high jump), Graysen St. Pierre (midget 400-metre run), Wes Stakes (3,000 metre run), Amanda Whalen (junior high jump) and Ben Wilson (mdget discus).

to bring the score within one.

Ronan had plenty of praise for Gallo following a game where his starting pitcher went five innings, allowing just five hits with no walks and five strikeouts.

He also drove in two runs and executed on the turningpoint steal in the sixth.

"He's a third-year veteran and he's on his third pair of pants. He always puts a bit hole through them making plays like that," said Ronan.

"He was a stud today, there's no other way to put it. Matt comes to play every day and he has those characteristics that just relax the other guys."

In a repeat of last year's final, the Panthers will face the Centennial Chargers, the team that last beat them in the playoffs in 2010. Goddard said PECI can't get

caught up in the rivalry.

"We feel we have the strongest team and the guys who can come through in the clutch moments. We're not going to really think of that, we're just going to go out and play our game. That's all that really matters."

Ronan said the Panthers don't worry too much about having not seen Centennial this season, noting that both teams know one another. He said the Chargers are well coached and they have some key veterans and a deep pitching staff, but then so do the Panthers.

"If we play mentally tough, we'll be all right," he said.

The game was slated to be played last night, after presstime.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both players will make an impact on our line-up this year and are not afraid to play the game in the dirty areas of the ice,â&#x20AC;? said Woodward.

Woodward said both players had strong performances in the rookie training camp a couple of weeks ago when the Pirates hosted both veterans and prospects at Essroc Arena in Wellington. He said each player follows the club's

template and commitment to development, getting younger and harder to play against during this off-season.

Both players were heavily recruited by several teams at the Junior C level. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our organization couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be happier that they have chosen Picton to continue their development,â&#x20AC;? said Woodward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am excited about the details of their game and fans should look forward to seeing them in a Pirates jersey this year.â&#x20AC;?

Patience and composure helped the PECI Panthers punch their ticket to the Bay of Quinte baseball final with a 7-3 victory over the Quinte Saints Monday evening.

After stranding eight runners on base through five innings and losing another two base runners between third base and home plate, the Panthers clung to a narrow 4-3 lead in the bottom of the sixth inning when they finally broke the game open in their favour.

Matt Gallo led off the inning with a single to right field and Morgan Reynolds got on next with a walk.

Then, in a gutsy call, coach Matt Ronan sent both runners ahead, earning a double steal and giving the Panthers some momentum, ratcheting up the pressure on Quinte.

"We have our guys charged up and we want to score runs," said Ronan. "If we're going to make mistakes, we'll make them aggressively. Instead, we're hoping we are going to force them into making mistakes.

When you look at our big innings, they collapsed."

The Panthers looked to be in tough with those two runners in scoring position as Ryan Forrester and Noah McConnell went down trying to advance them. Down in the count and hitting from the eight hole, Scott McQuaid gave the Panthers the play they needed, chopping a hopper into the infield high over pitcher Brett Bateman's head. He beat the throw and the Panthers put two runners across. George Goddard would knock him in with a double.

Goddard said the Panthers knew if they could stay focused long enough, they'd have their chances to win the game given the depth of their rivals' pitching staff.

"They have a really good starting pitcher and we knew their second wasn't as strong, so we tried to battle through and keep the game tight so at the end, we could come through," he said.

In the top of the seventh, reliever Bob Wilson had one strikeout and forced two other Saints into outs to retire the side in succession and save the victory.

Ronan said his team

The Picton Gazette THURSDAY, MAY 31, 2012

Future consolidation of Sophiasburgh, Queen Elizabeth schools still on radar Edward Collegiate Institute.

At its monthly meeting at the education centre in Belleville on Monday evening, the board approved a motion to submit a total of six business cases to the ministry for the second round of a capital priority grant program that started in 2011.

In the first intake of proposals, a total of 650 projects were sent the ministry's way, totalling $4.5 billion.

In all, 78 projects were granted final approval and the total amount of all work allocated by the ministry in round one was just over $635 million.

The local school board wound up with two projects being approved under the initial intake of the grant program-consolidation of a pair of schools in Tweed and Stirling that left both communities with new Junior

Kindergarten- Grade 8 facilities.

Superintendent of business services Dave Rutherford said the board was fortunate to have two projects approved in first intake.

With only $350 million earmarked by the province for round two, it's conceivable the board will not see any of their projects gain Ministry of Education approval.

And it's almost a certainty the proposed Sophiasburgh project will be shelved for at least another year as the Ministry has asked the board to prioritize their business cases.

Currently, the consolidation that could affect almost 400 Prince Edward County school children sits sixth out of six business cases.

“There is less money to go around in round two so the ministry has asked us to set priorities,” Rutherford ex-

plained, adding the ministry has required boards to see projects that address full day Kindergarten, accommodation pressures and those in poor condition in need of renovation or replacement as top priority.

According to the submission, a $2.8 million, six classroom expansion at Harry J. Clarke in Belleville that will allow for an additional 126 pupils and allow the board to consolidate Sir Winston Churchill school is the board’s top priority.

It's followed by a $12.6 million request for a replacement JK-8 facility on the Harmony Public School site and a new $13.3-million Junior Kindergarten to Grade 8 replacement facility for Queen Elizabeth Public School in Trenton.

“These are our highest priority projects,” Rutherford said.

Later that month, the ministry informed Bordo and the company managing the facility, Assured Care Consulting, no new admittance could take place until that issue was resolved.

Work was being completed on the facility by electricians in compliance with the Electrical Safety Authority to the extent that the order was rescinded by fire department In fact, there was belief that the home could soon start admitting new residents as long as work was being completed and stringent contingency plans and guidelines approved by the fire department

and the Ministry were adhered to in the mean time.

However, all work stopped in early May and the source indicated that work stoppage eventually lead to the Ministry's decision to begin the process of shutting Picton Manor down.

As Class D long-term care home, the facility was due to be closed in 2014 and it was believed a new 96- bed facility was being planned by Bordo and Assured Care at a site in Belleville. Those plans are up in the air and it appears both residents and staff may be left in the lurch.

The source said the process of decommissioning the facility could take as little as two

months.

“This is their home and they are being told they can't live here anymore,” said the

source. “It's not just the staff that are worried, there are residents that have lived here for 30 years. This is a shock.”

Project rated lowest priority of six submitted Jason Parks

Staff writer

For the second time in two years, the Ministry of Education has asked Ontario's public school boards for a wish list of capital priority projects.

And, for the second time in as many years, the Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board has made a submission that purposes closure of Sophiasburgh Central School and the creation of a new consolidated Junior Kindergarten to Grade 6 learning space on the Queen Elizabeth site in Picton.

The proposal also calls for Grade 7 and 8 students from Picton and Sophiasburgh wards to be housed at Prince

The board's lowest priority is a proposed $8.8 million project that would see a proposed closure of Sophiasburgh Central School and a new consolidated 380-pupil facility built on the Queen Elizabeth site with a planned opening date of 2015-2016.

The request also includes $800,000 for the demolition of the existing public school in Picton.

The submission calls for a

community accommodation review committee to be established within two years that will involve both the Queen Elizabeth and Sophiasburgh communities.

It goes on to say the addition of Grade 7 and 8 classes at PECI will result in 84 pupil places being utilized at PECI, “improving use of the secondary school building in an environment of declining enrollment.”

Picton businessman uses storefront to send political message about potential turbines Strachan shows concern over provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans ChaD iBBOtsOn

Staff writer

A Picton business owner is using his business to call attention to an issue that has caused raging debate in the county for the last few years.

David Strachan, owner of AV Frame and Photo located on Main Street in Picton, says he cant help but think Liberal Premier Dalton McGuinty's environmental policy is â&#x20AC;&#x153;knowingly destroying sensitive ecosystems and areasâ&#x20AC;? as well as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;democratic procedure this province used to have in place.â&#x20AC;?

Making a stateMent Picton store owner David Strachan used the space in his window last week to voice his opinion on proposed wind turbine developments along the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s south shore. (Chad Ibbotson/Gazette staff)

Strachan used the front window of his store for a few days last week to dis-

play a large sign stating â&#x20AC;&#x153;McGuinty killing birds and democracyâ&#x20AC;? in bold red let-

tering alongside a display for a bird photography contest. As of Tuesday the sign had been removed.

Strachan said he believed the premier has been taking away democratic values with his policies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's wrong and these industrial wind turbines don't make any financial sense and are going to cost the taxpayers millions, perhaps a billion dollars or more,â&#x20AC;?

Strachan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their life expectancy isn't that long and they're only operational maybe 19 per cent of the time â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the numbers just don't crunch.â&#x20AC;?

He said he believes locating the turbines in a internationally significant Important Bird Area is wrong.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The losses versus the gains just don't equate.â&#x20AC;?

Strachan said he wasn't worried about any backlash from those that are in favour of the turbines. He said there hasn't been much conversation about ways to mitigate the impact to birds and other animals living in the area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is Canada. We're supposed to be able to voice

Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jubilee Medal-winning academic in Milford Thursday

Inequalities in the education offered to children in different areas of Canada remains a difficult problem.

Last year, Paula Walker sparked a debate on that issue when she posed the question â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why should my children get a better education than yours?â&#x20AC;? at her home in Cherry Valley last fall as a group of county woman sought a project for the St. Philipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Milford outreach program.

Though the church had previously helped overseas projects in Afghanistan and Ghana, there was a desire to help a Canadian cause to bring results that would extend closer to home, and of course, there was a desire to

answer that question.

In response, the committee is bringing Dr. Marlene Brant Castellano, a professor emeritus at Trent University to the church next Thursday at 7 p.m.

Brant Castellano, a Mohawk woman who lives with her husband and four children on the Tyendinaga territory, was the co-director of research for the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples and brings more than two decades of academic experience studying First Nations communities. She is an officer of the Order of Canada and she was recently awarded the Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jubilee Medal.

On Thursday, Brant Castellano will share a story she calls â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shannenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dream,â&#x20AC;? which centres around a 13year-old girl from Attawapiskat in Northern Ontario who wanted to be a lawyer and hoped for safe, comfortable schools offering culturally-based education for all native children.

That girl, Shannen Koostachin was inspired in 2000 to take action after her school was condemned due to leaking diesel fuel. She would get her education in makeshift facilities.

Koostachen launched a campaign to build a school by writing non-native children across the country to ask for

their help to provide similar facilities to those they were learning in.

After three cancellations from government to build a promised new school, Brant Castellano will explain, Koostachin reached out using social media and travelled to Parliament Hill to raise awareness in 2008. That year, she was nominated for the Nobel Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Peace Prize.

Brant Castellano will tell the story in more detail next Thursday.

A question-and-answer period will follow and a freewill collection will be taken to support native education.

If a person is diagnosed with a stroke caused by a blood clot, doctors can administer a clot-busting drug available only at a hospital, and only within a few crucial hours after symptoms begin.* That’s why it is very important to be able to recognize the five warning signs of stroke and immediately

call 9-1-1. What are the five signs of stroke?

Weakness - Sudden loss of strength or sudden numbness in the face, arm or leg, even if temporary.

Trouble speaking - Sudden difficulty speaking or understanding or sudden confusion, even if temporary.

Vision problems - sudden trouble with vision, even if temporary.

Headache - Sudden severe and unusual headache.

Dizziness - Sudden loss of balance, especially with any of the above signs.

Stroke can be treated. That's why it is so important to recognize and respond to the warning signs.

If you experience any of these symptoms, call 9-1-1 or your local emergency number immediately.

Bayfield operators scheduled to make deputation to council committee June 28 HOMES, from page 1

Earlier this year three teens ran away from one of Bayfield's facilities breaking into and vandalizing 11 homes in the Consecon area. The teens stole a car and weapons before being apprehended in Kingston. The damages were reported to be between $25,000 and $50,000.

However, residents say what the incidents have cost them most is peace of mind.

Carol Wilson said she hasn't felt completely safe since having an encounter with a couple of runaways from a Bayfield home who trespassed on her property. She said just months prior to the incident she had heard of other runaways causing damage stealing from nearby homes.

“I had no phone with me and no available contact to the outside world. I know these

Brother speaks of Fox’s resolve and determination

FOX, from page 1

"I said, 'Terry, why did this have to happen to you?' Without hesitation, he said 'Fred, why not me? I have been told all my life, I'm not good enough, I'm not big enough, I'm not smart enough. It's just another challenge I have to overcome.' I knew then Terry would be fine."

By early 1979, after going through chemotherapy, Fox said his brother decided to start running and training.

He told his family it was for the Vancouver Marathon in May 1980. With inspiration Rick Hansen and friends present in Prince George that year, Fox placed last in a 17mile race in Prince George.

The finish, Fred said, didn't matter at all.

"He was so proud of the fact he was able to finish what he started."

From there, Fox returned home to Port Coquitlam, B.C. and told his family he was not training for a marathon, but rather a cross-country trip — a voyage that had to go from coast-to-coast because people were suffering across the country and they all needed to be involved.

After dipping his foot in the Atlantic Ocean in Newfoundland in April 1980, Fox ran 3,339 miles before the cancer returned to his lungs forcing him to stop in Thunder Bay that September, 143 days later. Most days saw Terry up by 4:30 and running a full marathon.

Terry's health didn't get better, Fred recalled and by the time of his death in 1981, an annual fundraiser in his honour had been established.

Fred said his brother never intended to be a hero, he just wanted to see that people finished what he started. He said if students saw his brother as a role model, he knew that would be something Terry would have really appreciated.

"If you see Terry as a role model, Terry would be so proud of that, 'he said.

"Terry's not just about cancer and raising money. He had so many characteristics I hope you guys can live by as well: working hard, being honest, living with integrity, and never giving up."

Fred Fox then took to the school yard for a lap with the students to inspire them to keep the dream alive and help with Terry's wish of finding a cure.

boys are disturbed individuals, some with histories of sexual abuse or violence and I was absolutely terrified.”

She said she hid in her garage until she felt it was safe to enter her home.

“I was so badly shaken from this experience that it took me the remainder of the summer to feel comfortable on my own property,” she said.

Brian Barlow described a similar feeling after an incident that took place in August 2010. Arriving home at about 2 a.m. that summer night, Barlow and his two daughters found their home had been not just broken into, but broken. He said it was next to impossible to describe the extent of the damage.

“I didn't even recognize some of the rooms. The kitchen floor was no longer visible, it was covered with sugar, rice, maple syrup, cooking oil, broken glass, papers and clothing,” he said.

He said two baskets full of tomatoes from their garden had been thrown at every surface, the doors had been stabbed repeatedly with knives and a chandelier from the dining room was lying broken on the kitchen floor.

After discovering one of the suspects had visited their Facebook page on the family's computer, police confirmed the boy had run away from a Bayfield home.

“We thought we could at least sleep in our beds for a few hours,” said Barlow, say-

ing police had advised him not to do so. “My youngest daughter went to her room and turned down the covers to find a 10-inch kitchen knife had been placed on the sheet.

A check of all the beds turned up the same thing. I guess they thought this would scare us — they were right.”

Barlow said he was surprised that Bayfield came to the meeting with a lawyer.

“At no point today did they show any empathy or apologize — that to me sheds a whole different light on things,” he said. “Everybody here has been very, very careful to say they're not asking for Bayfield to leave. There are people in our community who would like to deal with this with a baseball bat, but

none of them are here today — these people are very sensible and reasonable.”

Martha Carr and Ruth Still, both Ameliasburgh residents, asked the municipality to require operators of such treatment facilities to notify the municipality with any intention to open, expand or close a facility, hold public meetings to engage the community and receive input, accept straight line minimum distance between defined high-risk facilities of 500 metres in urban areas and two kilometres in any rural areas.

They also asked the municipality to set zoning standards which would direct future facilities to locate where resources are available, recover costs from the business

operator for public costs incurred to return runaways and to help connect the victims with the operator responsible for any damages caused by their clients.

“Our goal is not to impede or shut down such operations, despite our community experience as recent as this past week in Carrying Place,” said Still. “Our goal is to make our communities safer and to function better with balance, awareness and empathy.”

The committee directed staff to bring back a report on opportunities for the municipality to regulate such treatment centres including information on minimum distance separation. Bayfield will make an additional deputation to the committee June 28.

CANADIAN COIN ASSOCIATION BUYING EVENT IN PICTON! PURCHASING ALL GOLD AND SILVER COINS, AND ALL JEWELRY BY: AMANDA GERARD STAFF WRITER

ONLY 3 DAYS REMAINING! SHOW RUNS UNTIL JUNE 2ND

The Canadian Coin Association will be in the great city of Picton for 3 more days! They’re interested in all those coins you’ve kept stored away for the occasion that you would look into them!

Well, that occasion has arrived. Bring your coins to The Canadian Coin Association, and have one of their numismatic professionals assess their current market value in the collectible market, FOR FREE! Canadian and American coins minted before 1968, can fetch significant prices with international collectors based on; condition, collectability, and metal content. Because they represent a large database of collectors on an international level, they are able to make on the spot purchases on their behalf! This week, you could be turning that old jar of coins into a vacation!

While in Vancouver, British Columbia, CCA was able to offer $79,000 for an 1893 Morgan Silver dollar minted in San Francisco. This specific coin is highly sought after in uncirculated condition, mainly because not many were minted in San Francisco that year. Collectors are willing to invest top dollar in order to add this gem, and other coins of its kind, to their collections. Recently, they were able to offer $30,000 for a Canadian twenty cent piece from 1858. Why? Because the collector, from Austria, had everything but that ONE coin for his series of 17th century Canadian coins and was willing to pay top prices to complete his set. Those two stories are just the tip of the iceberg for their coin experts. A silver dollar from 1948 can fetch anywhere from $500 to $13,000 based on it’s condition. Collectors are eagerly looking for pre 1968 proof sets, coins with specific mint marks, coins from specific years and international gold coins. Don’t even get them started on the 1921 Canadian fifty cent piece! Coins are their middle name. For a fee of $0 (that’s right, its free), you can bring that coffee tin full of coins to our educated team of numismatist’s, and find out if you’ve been harbouring a very well kept secret!

bullion assessment in their services. The Canadian Coin Association is able to make offers for your scrap silver. Old tea sets, stamp collections from the Franklin Mint, and silver bars, are all examples of items that could be purchased on the spot! It’s a bullion boom, and everybody’s winning!

CCA’s International collectors are also seeking gold coins from around the world. Maple Leafs, British Sovereigns, Kruggerands, Double Eagle gold coins and Gold Francs, are all examples of gold coins they are looking for on behalf of our collectors.

Because of their success within the numismatic community, they are also able to offer maximum value on all other gold as well. With the gold market at over $1500, all of your broken gold, scrap gold, jewellery, even dental gold, can be turned into quite the fist full of dollars.

WE BUY ALL GOLD AND SILVER COINS, GOLD JEWELRY AND SILVER JEWELRY AS WELL!

What are you waiting for? Bring your coins and bullion into our numismatic professionals to have them evaluated. You just may end up having some fun, and walking out with enough for that vacation.
