Planning for new hospital restarted Partners working on proposal for new $40-million facility in Picton ChadIbbotson

Staff writer

Following months of uncertainty prompted by budget cuts within Quinte Health Care, supporters of the local hospital received some good news during an announcement at Picton Town Hall on Friday. Six organizations came together to announce renewed efforts to build a new hospital in Prince Edward County. The municipality, the South East Local Health Integration Network (SE LHIN), Quinte Health Care (QHC), the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation (PECMHF), the Prince Edward Family Health Team (PEFHT), and

the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Auxiliary will be working together to submit a proposal to the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care to replace the current 55-year-old facility. The facility is expected to cost approximately $40 million to build, plus another $10 million for equipment, and would be located on the same property as the family health team. QHC board chair Steve Blakely said the board and everyone at QHC is committed to bringing a new hospital to Prince Edward County. He said the announcement comes after a lot of work from a lot of people.

“The tenacity and passion that people in this county have for their hospital is overwhelming,” he said. He said the current hospital can't meet emerging health care needs. He said retrofitting the current facility would cost approximately 90 per cent of the cost of a new facility. “Then we wouldn't reap the same benefits as we would with a new hospital,” he said. “… We know and we believe strongly that building a new hospital in Picton will secure the long-term future of Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital.”

After months of propping up minority Liberal governments, Ontario NDP leader Andrea Horwath decided she'd had enough in the wake of Thursday's budget and she triggered an election. Without taking her time for debates at Queen's Park, nor accepting an opportunity for dialogue with Premier Kathleen Wynne, Horwath announced Friday morning she wouldn't support the budget. "The Liberal budget is a mad dash to escape scandal by promising the moon and the stars," Horwath said in a statement. "This government has no plan to get the basics right, like creating jobs, lowering hydro rates, and making life more affordable." Though the budget was looked upon by most pundits as one that played to NDP interests, Horwath wondered if the Liberals could keep the more than 70 promises they'd made and questioned "How can Kathleen Wynne build a ship, when she hasn't managed to build a raft?" With that announcement, Wynne formally asked Lieut.-Gov David Onley to dissolve the provincial legislature and drop the writ of election, which will be held June 12 — a week longer than a normal election campaign would have been, because June 5 is a day of religious significance. Prince Edward-Hastings MPP Todd Smith was busy making the rounds in Prince Edward County Friday morning as the news spread, first attending a celebration about a commitment to plan for a new hospital in Picton, then attending a press conference to support his Raise a Glass to Ontario Act, which was stalled by the election. Smith indicated he was ready to hit the campaign trail. "I'm excited about it actually," Smith said. "To be honest, I all along thought perhaps we would last until the end of the term. I'm not sure what straw was that broke

the camel's back this morning for the NDP and Andrea Horwath but I'm glad they finally realized that it's time to bring this government down that's doing nothing to create jobs in the province of Ontario and making it more unaffordable." Smith said he'd take basically the same message to the voters in his riding, which stretches from the county in the south, north to the Bancroft area. That message is simply that he'll be here for the voters and attempt to bring their issues to the legislature in Toronto. Smith said he feels confident that since defeating sitting Liberal cabinet minister Leona Dombrowsky in 2011, he's done that. "I want to be a strong voice for Prince Edward County. I brought their issues to Queen's Park over the last term whether it was the rising cost of electricity, wind turbines in the county, the concerns of the wine growers and cideries association, or dealing with red tape in the manufacturing sector.

Wineries have first chance to make direct sales to consumers at Terroir Annual tasting event expanded to include marketplace in accordance with new laws

win-win scenario for both visitors and wineries. “It was really great for customers to be able to sample wines and purchase them on the spot. This made it convenient and immediate for them,” she said. “For wineries, it meant that their customers could be served right away. Anytime wineries can sell wine is welcome.” She said she spoke with plenty of visitors, farmers, and wineries and all agreed the event was a success. She said it was great to have so many producers join the farmers market in its first year. “We had a short amount of time to accomplish setting up the market and the wineries and farmers came together to put put on a really great event,” said Greenaway. “Having the farmers market made the whole experience of visiting Terroir and Prince Edward County that much more satisfying for our customers.” Three Dog Winery owner John Squair said this is the first year his business has been a part of Terroir. “It's absolutely fantastic. The farmers market component is amazing,” he said.

It was a year of firsts for Terroir. It was the first year the event featured a farmers market and the first year wineries were able to sell their products directly to customers at the venue. The government altered regulations in December to allow the sale of Ontario wines at the markets. Despite the less-thanideal weather, Picton's Crystal Palace was packed with visitors and by all accounts Terroir 2014 was another success. Prince Edward County Winegrowers Association (PECWA) Chair Kathleen Greenaway said the weather was a challenge, but 800 people still came out to enjoy wine and a variety of offerings at the farmers market. “We were really happy with the results of our expanding the event into a farmers’ market,” said Greenaway. “Our guests were able to experience both the fine wine and food available in the county.” She said allowing wineries to sell their products at the market presented a

He said he'd spoken to people from across Ontario on Saturday — many of them coming from the Greater Toronto Area and Ottawa. “It's great. It brings people into the county and the more people we have the better it is for all of us,” he said. Richard Karlo of Karlo Estates Winery said the addition of the farmers market made it an especially exciting year for Terroir. He said adding wine sales to the farmers market had been discussed, but really came together in the last few weeks leading up to this year's event. He said the new regulations came into effect on May 1. “Once we found out we could do something that would fit the AGCO (Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario) require-

because it would allow us to sell wine, but more because it would help us engage the whole community,” he said. Sherry Martin, also of Karlo Estates, said there was a lot of anticipation and excitement leading up to Terroir. “Even at 6 a.m. this morning people were starting to tweet about how excited they were that they were going to be able to come and buy wine for the first time at a farmers market,” she said. Among those in attendance Saturday were first time Terroir visitors Erika Sorensen and Cory Sherboneau. Sorensen said the pair started visiting Prince Edward County last summer and thought Terroir would be a good opportunity to taste the offerings of many different wineries in one stop. “It's really good. There's really good food and good wine,” she said. Added Sherboneau: “It's a good place to come if you want to enjoy wine or anything food wise in the county.”

Third Hike For Hospice raises more than $22,000 Wet weather doesn’t dampen spirits of those who came out to walk course Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

It was Hospice Prince Edward's third annual Hike for Hospice Sunday, and some cool weather didn't seem to hamper those who came out to show their support. Hospice executive director Nancy Parks said the hard work of volunteers paid off as the event ran smoothly Sunday. “We have a great committee and, with this being our third one, we had lots of experience and it ran very well, very smoothly,” she said. “It was a good day for Hospice.” While the final tally is still pending, the event raised more than $22,000 which will go toward dayto-day operations at the residential hospice at 40 Downes Avenue in Picton. “It's wonderful, 100 per cent of the proceeds go toward the operational expense for our residential hospice and we're very grateful and appreciative of the community who continue to support the community residential hospice,” said Parks. Parks thanked everyone who came out to support the cause once again. “We can't thank everyone enough. We've had hikers now for three years in a row. We had new hikers this year, we had invited our families who had been part of our service and support at Hospice,” she said. “We had many families who came out.” The Scott Wentworth Landscape Group donated and constructed a memorial pond, a new feature for 2014 that allowed participants to reflect on their loved ones and hike in their memory. “It was beautiful. It was very meaningful for the families to have that option this year,” Parks said. She said the residential hospice project is right on

think about her journey, she received such amazing care.” Preston said you have to be able to trust those who are in charge of caring for a loved one. She said the care her mother received at Hospice Prince Edward was trustworthy and kind. “The work they do here in the community is amazing and they're evolving into this fabulous, fabulous centre for care,” she said. “You're so vulnerable and fragile, not just the patient, but the family needs all that support too because the journey is really, really tough.” Preston said the residential hospice project is critical for the community. She said it's crucial both on a one-onone patient basis, but it's also important in a greater sense. “It's critical because how we care for our elderly and dying in society reflects our values and citizenship,” Preston said. “This community supporting hospice like they do shows the strong sense of community and values.”

Local author Roger Litwiller is hoping to catch the attention of local history lovers with his latest offering White Ensign Flying, which details the exploits of the corvette HMCS Trentonian during the Second World War. Litwiller held a launch for his new book in Picton at the Naval Marine Archive — The Canadian Collection. Released by Dundurn of Toronto, the book details the 15-month lifespan of the corvette from its construction in Kingston to its ultimate destruction by torpedoes on Feb. 22 1945. “She was actually the senior officer of the first convoy to move on the DDay timetable,” he said. “All the planning that went into the invasion, there had to be step one — step one was the Trentonian.” Litwiller said the ship was named after the town of Trenton and he first became interested in the ship when doing some research for a lecture to a brand new cadet corps in

Trenton in 1993. “I wanted to teach the cadets something about their namesake ship. I started digging through the published books and found one, maybe two, paragraphs,” he said. Ultimately Litwiller said he found a surviving crew member and invited him to talk to the cadets. “Over the course of the afternoon he told stories that weren't in any history book,” he said. “I made arrangements to meet him later. We sat for four hours

and he talked non-stop and the stuff he was telling me was unbelievable.” Realizing there was more to the story than what had been published, Litwiller began to research the national archives and came away with 100 cases of documentation. Armed with the information he tracked down other living former crew members who provided him with a wealth of experiential knowledge and a host of photos. “If you give me a date and a time from the 15

months she was built until the time she was sunk, it's in the book exactly where she was and what she was doing,” he said. He said the book gives detail into the Normandy invasion, including the exact time of arrival. The Trentonian escorted a convoy of 60 ships to the beaches off Normandy, the ships were to be sunk off the five beaches to form an artificial breakwater to protect the troops coming ashore. “I tracked down another 30 of the crew, so when that report says they arrived off Normandy with 60 ships at seven in the morning, I have the reports saying exactly what they did with those ships, where they were, how they were disposed,” he said. “Then I have 30 guys telling me what they saw, what they smelled, what they experienced — that's where the real story is, what these men went through.” He said the sick bay attendant was an avid photographer and documented everything that happened aboard the ship. He said he collected over 300 photos. “They're not your typical Royal Canadian Navy photos of the broad side of the ship. These are photos of the guys on shore leave, in France, and England, and Bermuda, these are photos of the convoys in the Atlantic, a busy harbour in Halifax,” he said. He said the book has a strong narrative, but also is filled with factual accounts and figures. “You're reading a storybook, but you're also learning history,” he said. The book is available through Kobo and Amazon Kindle as well as paperback.

Nine of top 10 pike and top walleye brought into county weigh stations Registrations up in annual Kiwanis Walleye World fishing derby Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

Another Kiwanis Walleye World Fishing Derby came and went over the weekend and it was an especially fruitful one for those fishing in Prince Edward County's waters. Kiwanis volunteer Frank Wilson said eight of the top 10 pike caught over the weekend were weighed in at Picton Harbour. He said another of the top 10 was weighed in at County Shores, on the Bay of Quinte. Further, the top walleye was weighed in at County Shores. Wilson said there were many more registrations this year than last year and on Saturday morning he said there were plenty of fish coming in to the Picton weigh station. “They've been coming in steady,” he said. “The big fish was weighed in here and the big fish last

Harbour, County Shores, West Lake, and East Lake. Wilson said Kiwanis focuses on children and this

year every senior ticket included a free junior ticket. “There were a lot more juniors fishing this year

than ever before. This is part of the Kiwanis mandate — children are priority one,” said Wilson. Wilson said the derby helps Kiwanis complete a number of community projects every year. “Pretty well all of the money that comes from the derby is spent in this area. Our club is all about kids, air cadets,” he said. “It's our biggest fundraiser, this derby. We get a lot of help from the local people, the Friends of Kiwanis that help us.” Mark Kulken took first place in the senior pike category with a 17.12pounder, while Don McLean took top spot in the senior walleye category with his 12.8-pound fish. In the junior category Ethan Caley took top spot for his 10.78-pound pike, while Jeremy VanGrunseen took the top walleye spot with his 9.43-pound fish. McLean has travelled from the Ottawa area for the past four years to participate. For the last two

years he's stayed at County Shores. He said it was nice to get the win. “You kind of don't believe it. It takes a while to sink in, it's pretty nice to win though,” he said. McLean took home the top prize of a 2014 Legend 16 CX fishing boat with a 2014 Mercury 50 elpt fourstroke outboard motor, a fish finder, and other accessories at an approximate value of $22,000. McLean said he's caught big fish before, but when he first snagged the winner he thought he'd got hung up on a log. “It felt just like a log until it got to the boat. It ran and took three or four runs,” he said. He said it was the biggest walleye he's ever caught. He said once it was in the boat he knew he had a shot to take the top prize. “Twice I've come close. I've never been in the top 10, but I was close to the top 10,” he said. “Once I had it I knew I'd at least be in the top 10.”

PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY

Looking back in the

Picton Gazette 90 years ago — 1924

n The Village of Wellington decided that all of its banks and shops would receive a half holiday on Wednesday afternoons throughout the summer season. It had been customary in Wellington to take Thursday afternoons off, however many other towns were taking Wednesday and by picking the same day, Wellington residents could take part in a greater allotment of sporting events and other activities planned on those days. n Local cheesemakers had mixed feelings about a government regulation requiring No. 2 grade cheese to be branded as such when sent to market. The unbranded No. 2 cheese had been selling at prices close to No. 1 grade cheese, but some farmers felt that buyers were reselling the cheese as top-grade cheese and pocketing the difference. n The Ontario Motor League contacted Picton town council in search of some camping facilities within the town limits for visiting tourists. Council invited its mayor and reeve to convene a committee with the Prince Edward Agricultural Society to seek sites on its grounds.

70 years ago — 1944

n The Town of Picton lost another prominent citizen unexpectedly as former mayor Everett P. Cox passed away at his home at age 71. Cox farmed near Consecon and later became a roads superintendent for the county. In addition to his public service, Cox was a Mason and an avid curler and bowler. n The Laymen’s Association of the St. Mary Magdalene Anglican Church held a debate about limiting the length of sermons in the church to 10 minutes. The affirmative side was judged the winner of the debate, though there was no word whether the pastor would follow suit. n A group of 20 members of the Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment made it home from combat around Italy, some after four-and-a-half years of service in Europe. The men earned well-deserved leave time to spend with their families.

60 years ago — 1954

n Ontario’s premier Leslie Frost was expected to be in Picton to open the new Prince Edward Collegiate Institute Wednesday, May 12. Though the classrooms had been in operation since March, work crews were just putting the finishing touches on the school’s interior. nEvery person in Prince Edward County would be entitled to a free chest X-ray as part of a campaign sponsored by the Ontario Department of Health and the Ontario Tuberculosis Society. The weeklong event was one of just four to be held across the province that year.

‘Coyote’ is now the new four-letter word

In his letter to the editor in last week’s Picton Gazette, writer Tony Beaumont, offered an excellent rebuttal to a letter written in a previous issue where that person had attempted to reinstate the fear factor back into the subject of coyotes. Certainly coyotes are an issue with some livestock farmers, and they are working at resolving those issues, responsibly, either by improved fencing and housing and, if that fails, removing rogue individuals by lethal means. I have no problem with that. What I have a problem with are those who are obsessed with old wives’ tales about coyotes carrying off small children and doing the unspeakable to them. Incredibly, there are those who still thrive on Peter and the Wolf and The Three Little Pigs. I have biologist friends who regularly work with wolves in northern Ontario. I have a video of Canadian nature film makers, John and Janet Foster as they filmed a wolf that fed on some moose remains in Algonquin Park. The wolf was not sure how to treat the presence of the filmmakers as they filmed it from a short distance away. The wolf eventually approached the pair and sniffed at the camera tripod. At no time did the duo feel threatened but continued filming the behaviour of this individual. For many years I walked a five-kilometre stretch of our rural road every morning before light. Numerous times a coyote would cross the road in front of me, barely giving

OUTDOOR RAMBLES

TERRY SPRAGUE me a second glance. The only time I was ever threatened, as I walked this same road wearing my LED headlamp and fluorescent reflective vest, was not by a coyote, but by an aggressive motorist who threatened me with his vehicle because the road was “his” that morning. That’s when I gave up road walking and started walking in the fields where I knew I would be safer. Beaumont brings up a good point in his letter when he offers a suggestion on how to discourage coyotes from coming to your backyard. Stop feeding them with food items and garbage left out overnight. As I teach in my backyard naturalization courses, to attract wildlife to your back yard or conversely, dissuade them, you need to work within their four basic habitat needs – food, water, shelter and space. Take one or more away from a nuisance animal, and

they will no longer be attracted. Raccoons will not nest (shelter requirement) on your property if you ensure there are no cavities for them to do so, and coyotes will not be attracted to your backyard if you keep it tidy and free from food items. Unwanted animals will not be attracted to backyards if you don’t give them a reason to be there in the first place. It’s called responsibility, an almost four-letter word these days. At what point did we begin to embrace the term “irresponsibility” anyway? Being irresponsible is something we would never do with our pets on a dare and likely explains why our pet dogs for more than six decades have lived to a minimum of 15 years, one of them, a chihuahua, reaching 17 years. Yet, pet owners continue to do act irresponsibly with their pets, knowing full well that we have coyotes, coyote/wolf hybrids, fishers, foxes and all manner of dangers lurking. Dogs and cats are let out at night to do their final toilet, unsupervised, and then their owners go into a conniption fit when their pets fail to return. And they always will have a fit, because they have adopted a mindset. Coyotes will not walk off with your children (and why are babies and toddlers being left alone unsupervised anyway?). That myth is right up there with bats getting into your hair, fishers pounding down cabin doors, and mother birds abandoning their chicks if you touch them!

I have done flora and fauna inventories in habitat where bears were present and we both stared at each other, and I have had many close encounters with coyotes. But, that is not to say that we should adopt a careless attitude. There are rogue individuals among all species that don’t necessarily follow the rule books, and we must always be on high alert. The rare attack on a hiker five years ago in Cape Breton is an example. Officials don’t know what perpetuated the isolated attack as it had never happened before; hence, the reason for always being alert. However, letting myths, legends and folklore dictate or lives is irresponsible. One can moan and groan, shoot and trap, maim and frighten, and it will change absolutely nothing. Coyotes will always be around. Demanding that “they” do something is not the answer. The answer is with responsibility. I welcome all wildlife on our property. However, not everyone is comfortable with wildlife on their premises, and I can respect that. If wildlife is not on your backyard agenda, then be responsible, and don’t give them a reason for being there.

OPP reminds boaters to operate vessels safely this season

The OPP marine unit and SAVE team are advising boaters to be prepared before going out onto the water this boating season. Boaters are encouraged to check all life-saving, distress, and safety equipment to make sure that it is in working condition. They note that an empty fire extinguisher won’t help put out flames, nor will a flashlight with dead batteries provide a

signal for help. The OPP recommends that boaters wear their personal flotation devices at all times when they’re on the water as once someone falls overboard, it can often be a struggle to put a life jacket on. Boaters are also reminded that any motorized boat being operated after sunset or before sunrise requires navigation lights.

Also, boaters are reminded that Criminal Code offences for drinking and driving also apply to the operation of boats and an operator’s automobile driver’s licence can actually be suspended for an infraction while on the water. All of those people operating boats are also expected to have their pleasure boat operators’ card, proving they’ve learned how to operate a vessel

safely. Those boaters who are not sure what safety standards and equipments they need to have their boats up to code are reminded that they can find information in the Safe Boating Guide, a free Transport Canada publication, they can call the boating safety hotline at 1-800267-6687 or visit boatingsafety.ca online. -Staff

NDP finally reaches only logical answer: It’s time for change

LAST week, Ontario NDP leader Andrew Horwath decided that enough was enough. She decided she would not suppor any more promises from Kathleen Wynne’s minority Liberal government and she decided to let the people pass their verdict. Though one can see how Horwath likely enjoyed holding the balance of power, one has to wonder why she held out so long and enabled this province to go further down a road of reckless spending and foolish decisions, all while the public was essentially lied to about tax hikes and about the costly decision to move two new power plants that the province didn’t even need to supply it with energy. As Ontario’s per capita debt load soared past the levels that once created alarms for California and the provincial government moved closer toward negative credit scores, it should have become obvious that the government was headed down the wrong road on the economic file. There’s no reason for politicians to keep running that debt higher and to promise more spending to address the problem. Clearly that hasn’t worked and on top of it, more scandal and mismanagement has followed. The public service has become far too bloated and too many of our provincial employees are making big money, while those responsible for creating private jobs are struggling just to hold on in the face of rising costs. Something is clearly wrong and it needs to be addressed. Just imagine a government suing its own environmental watchdog because it wants to put in a form of energy that has been acknowledged to impact human health and the habitat of endangered species in order to produce power that it doesn’t need at a premium it cannot afford. That little glimpse from Prince Edward County alone should be enough to show people that it is time for change in this province. It may have taken Horwath years to come to the conclusion that this past government had outstayed its welcome and had not been coming up with new ideas, but one would hope the bulk of Ontario residents have seen just enough that in the next month, they’ll have no problem making the decision themselves when the balance of power is in their hands. Besides those people who have benefitted greatly from the Liberals not being able to say no to the public service and those companies who have benefitted from their renewables at all cost policies, it is hard to find anyone who gives this government’s policies a thumbs up outside of those who live in major metropolitan areas — and even those they catered to to win votes in those areas have to realize there was a cost to seeing those power plants move. They should also see that more and more of their health-care dollars are moving away from the front lines to the bureaucracy of the LHINS and many of the dollars invested in education have still left good, Ontario-raised students without meaningful employment in this province. It’s hard to ignore that it is time for a change. One can only hope that voters don’t have their head in the sand June 12 like the NDP did and they realize it’s time for change.

GROUNDS FOR TRIAL

Examples of coyote predation are well documented

Before I composed and sent my letter to your newspaper, I researched the situation with the Ministry of Natural Resources; Livestock Evaluator, Roger Redner’s Eastern Ontario Farmers Forum’; Wikipedia; and the CBC . In response to Tony Beaumont’s hysterical tirade, I thought it necessary to forward a precis of that research. Prince Edward County has a crisis on its hands and I believe that the public deserves to know a number of salient facts. 1) It was the recommendation of the Ministry of Natural Resources who recommended that hunters be brought in to address the coyote problem. 2) A precis of Redner’s report is as follows: “Coyotes used to travel in packs of four; now they travel in packs up to 20. One farmer lost 15 sheep in one night; two nights later, seven more. The first night the coyotes

consumed four sheep, about 300 pounds of meat. He said that there had to be 12 to 20 coyotes to clean up that amount.” “If a barn is full of sheep, the coyotes will run around the barn continuously. The sheep know that they are there and become so stressed out, they run up against a door in the barn, bust out and they are dead.” “Farmers have to get their cows who are about to give birth into the barn or they will lose their calves due to the coyotes.” Redner who keeps tracks of predator attacks, has said that they have more than doubled in five years. Over the entire year, the County kill was 374 animals. 3) On Sept. 25, 2013, in St. Catherines Ontario, a coyote attacked an eight- year-old girl who was walking on a sidewalk beside her stepfather. When the coyote leaped up at the girl, biting her

ribcage, the stepfather looked back and saw it biting her foot and then her torso. The girl was treated and released for coyote bite The animal was not found and so she underwent a course of rabies treatment as a precaution. Source – Wikipedia 4) “A 14-year-old-boy is recovering from coyote bites to his leg and buttock after he was attacked by a coyote on a Cape Breton trail.” The Department of Natural Resources said the teen was riding a dirt bike and had dismounted. The coyote grabbed his foot, knocked him off balance and began to climb on top of him. The teen managed to kick the coyote away. This attack was on a trail near Sydport Industrial Park in the Westmount area of Cape Breton. Source – CBC May 16, 2012 I care about the sheep, cattle, piglets, chickens and pets who are savagely torn apart

by animals that have been proven to become more numerous and aggressive. I care about the Prince Edward County farmers who cannot afford the substantial stock and financial losses. I care about the possibility of other children being attacked by coyotes because I, myself, have sighted coyotes in the town of Picton during daylight hours. I care about unsuspecting tourists at the Sandbanks Park in an area similar to that of the Westmount area of Cape Breton. Do I apologize for supporting the aforementioned and wanting to take steps to protect it? Not for a minute. If Beaumont can come up with a solution to stop the present and possible carnage and maintain the proliferation of coyotes in our area, more power to him. It will be a win/win situation and who wouldn’t support it? Janet Bingham

Moratorium on neonictinoids would be best practice

Regarding “Industry rep says neonicotinoids safe, valuable tool” April 24, 2014, Pierre Petelle of CropLife Canada is correct to suggest that “pollinator health is a complex issue.” He lists many stresses, “varroa mites, disease, and weather.” That list is partial. Human activity completes it. Habitat loss has been critical for wild bees and butterflies but researchers around the globe are finding more and more that the lynch pin for bee deaths and the decimation of the butterflies is environmental toxicity. This is not a fringe viewpoint. This is science. We can’t control the weather. We can’t eliminate diseases and parasites that plague bees anymore than we can eliminate our own. Beekeepers can follow best practice, municipalities can plant milkweed but these are

drops in the bucket. What remains is reducing agricultural toxicity including bees’ chronic exposure to neonic dust and toxic pollen due to bulk seed treatment. A moratorium would not be arbitrary. Europe’s ban aside, Health Canada and our own Pest Management Regulatory Agency both acknowledge that neonics are “unsustainable“ and have contributed to pollinator deaths in most farming regions of Canada. The mission here is to request guidelines for best practice and, based on the research available, best practice would be a moratorium for Canada to give pollinators a chance to rebound, give soil and watersheds time to break down toxicity and give a leg-up to farmers to follow new guidelines that mirror Europe’s before the crisis moves from critical to

catastrophic. Ironically, neonic seedcoatings were developed as a targeted alternative to other insecticides to protect non-target species like bees and butterflies. It has been a real-time, real-world global experiment that seems to be failing. Neonics might play a more limited role for existing infestations in our future but right now, bees are in crisis. Delaying action could be catastrophic for bees and for farmers. I appreciate Petelle’s position. This, of course, is a matter of great concern to companies like CropLife; however, they are not farming stakeholders in a true sense – they are not farmers, bees, beekeepers, they’re not even vendors - they are agri-business manufacturers and sales companies with a vested interest in prophylactic seed treatment. It is their bread and butter. They lobbied stri-

dently in Europe, they are lobbying stridently in the UK and the States right now and they are active players in Ottawa. Their vigorous lobbying efforts should be viewed in this light and always with a grain of salt. If there is a North American moratorium, it will be painful for agrochemicals and that is regrettable but if there isn’t, it could be catastrophic for bees, butterflies and people: people like beekeepers, like farmers and like those of us who eat fruit and vegetables. There is no need to use neurotoxins on all corn and soy that is planted. Bulk treatment is unnecessary, and, as has be born out by research, dangerous for already struggling pollinators. It’s time to give the bees a break. Kate MacNaughton Picton

A plea for turbine support

I visited Prince Edward County for the first time last May to watch the birds arrive in spring, to take in your beautiful parks, beaches, birding, food and wine. I was shocked at the number of signs against wind and vowed not to return until county citizens embrace renewable energy. The damage to our planet of fossil fuels and climate change, which thecounty is not exempt from, demand action from all of us. But the poisoned rivers and land and air I saw in Ft McMurray compared to your residents’ concern about damaging property values was astounding. Now that there's

research proving wind turbines don't damage your property values perhaps you will reconsider and do your fair share, as all of us must, to help us transition into the new renewable energy economy. County residents should be proud to lead the charge, not dinosaurs sticking heads in the sand. I will take my tourist dollars to communities near Kingston, for example, proud to invest — but hope for change and a return to your lovely County — improved not harmed by ushering in the new energy era.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the village of Wellington and the entire Prince Edward County community for their incredible support last week at the Dudley Hewitt Cup. It is always difficult to list people to thank for fear of missing someone. This event involved dozens of sponsors, volunteers and tournament organizers. I do however want to acknowledge the Dukes booster club for their efforts year in and year out. Betty Masterson for her end-

less hours and continued support. I would be lost day to day without Betty. Also Doug Robinson and Don Cotton for their leadership and vision in respect to this tournament which has set a new standard in which future Dudley Hewitts will be measured. Lisa Lindsay and her entire staff for incredible patience and cooperation. To our billet families who are the best in junior hockey. Nancy Baldwin for her efforts coordinating our fam-

ilies that host our players. Thank you to our hockey operations department who are a pleasure to work with, Randy Rowe, Kevin Dolson, Brian Kuipers, Kevin Montgomery, David Brown, Bob and Joey Lavender. To our game night staff, tops in the OJHL, our club executive who work year round so there remains a junior hockey team in Wellington. You are all appreciated and needed to operate this team. To Michael Mulvihill for

following through on his commitment to bring the Dudley Hewitt Cup to Wellington and assuming all the risk that are associated with it. Finally thank you to our players who made this season special. A lot will move on to higher levels but you will always be Dukes. If I missed anyone please accept my apologies.

We want to acknowledge and thank the women who participated in the series of "Elect More Women" workshops held in March and April, as well as the many who expressed support for the concept either through Facebook or in person. This initiative was developed to move towards a council that more closely reflects the demographic (age and gender) of the citizens it serves. The goals of the work-

shops were to: n Provide information, advice and encouragement to potential candidates n Identify challenges to women candidates and potential solutions n Raise awareness of the importance of gender balance in positions of political power n Elect more women to Prince Edward County council in the 2014 election Municipal governments make far-reaching decisions

which affect our lives, every day and into the future. Effective decision-making is a product of input from across all sectors of society. Women bring a unique perspective, attitude, and experience to municipal decisionmaking. While we are over 50 per cent of the electorate we represent very much less than 50 per cent of the elected politicians. We encourage women to join the discussion because all voices need to be heard.

To the current and pending women candidates, congratulations. To all those who came out to learn and support, you are an inspiration. To all the candidates, men or women, in the upcoming election, thank you for stepping forward and good luck to you all.

corked Hastings-Prince Edward MPP Todd Smith discusses his bill that would help wineries, cideries, and craft brewers with access to the Ontario market. The private member’s bill was put on hold due to the provincial election. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

Smith’s alcohol bill hits bottleneck Election call stifles Raise a Glass to Ontario Act for immediate future AdAm BrAmBurger Staff writer

Wine growers, cider makers, and craft brewers in the county and elsewhere will have to wait to see the benefits of Todd Smith’s Raise a Glass to Ontario Act. The Prince EdwardHastings MPP was at the Grange of Prince Edward Winery to discuss the bill Friday morning, but few wanted to talk to Smith about his efforts to help the beverage alcohol industry. News that the NDP had decided to trigger an election dominated the discourse. “The Raise a Glass to Ontario Act is now going to end up in the vacuum,” Smith told industry representatives and media. “It is still a very important piece of legislation because it signifies that there needs to be some serious change in the way we sell beverage alcohol in the province of Ontario.” Smith indicated that while the bill is a dead issue for now, should be win the June 12 election, he will be pleased to bring the act back to Queen’s Park. “Depending on what seat I hold in the legislature when I get back, hopefully, I’ll be able to reintroduce it or make it part of a government bill. That obviously would be my top choice.” Smith explained that after two years of steady meetings with various players in the industry, he decided to put forward a three-pronged approach to improve market access for smaller wineries, cideries, and craft brewers. The first prong, he said, is to allow wineries to co-ship their products, so that one truck could be hired to take wines or beverages from a number of county businesses to one destination. The second piece of the legislation would have allowed those wineries to establish a warehousing operation closer to a target market, like Toronto or Ottawa, to store larger quantities of product to avoid additional shipping. A third prong would allow co-sales, which is something Smith noted could be beneficial for tourism in this region. “With the growing num-

ber of wineries in Prince Edward County, the average person visiting can only see three, four or even five during a visit,” he said. This would give an opportunity for them to buy a taste of the county without having to visit all of the wineries. That is what people want.” Dan Sullivan of Rosehall Run said he hopes the idea of market access will become a major election issue that each party will have to take a position on. He said a recent bid by the Liberals to open up farmers’ markets was like a half-step because it didn’t consider the logistics involved. In fact, he said he was baffled by the amount of regulation the previous government had on his industry. “This will be far more green. This past government talks about being green, but they have such a stranglehold on things like this, it defies logics and logistics.” Sullivan said to his knowledge practically every other jurisdiction in Canada has similar rules that allow their own beverage producers flexible access to markets. “Ontario is the outlier here, we are not the normal,” he said. “We want to be the normal. When you look at what wineries and valueadded agriculture bring, these are the kind of jobs that we want to have.” Sullivan cited his colleague Grant Howes with the County Cider Company as someone who contributes to the economy at many levels. He noted Howes grows his own apples, presses his own cider, does his own distribution, employs people to market his product, and even offers a tasting room and patio where someone can enjoy a pizza and a cider. “It’s the same for Caroline (Granger) and it’s the same for us,” he said. “We offer a full package to people. We’re rooted in the ground and my farm isn’t going anywhere. It has taken us 15 years to grow and we’re hoping to be here for 150 or more years.” Howes said he feels that Smith is the first politician who has come around in his two decades of producing cider who gets the challenges he faces in growing business. “It’s so refreshing after 20 years of myself banging my

head against the wall trying to get a level playing field for cideries that someone like you comes along and you get it,” he said. Howes explained that cider producers and nonVQA wineries have to pay a 40-per-cent tariff to access the LCBO market — the equivalent of a foreign product — and many can’t afford that for the exposure. He said this bill won’t change that, but it will give freedom to try new distribution channels that go beyond just the farm gate. “It will allow us to expand, globally you've seen the cider market take off and the local cider producers are not benefitting from that even though we're recognized globally as some of the top ciders in the world. “ Granger does produce VQA wines that go into the LCBO, though she notes its a challenge as a smaller winery. She said she really likes the provisions in Smith’s bill, particularly those dealing with warehousing. “The challenge of constantly delivering small amounts, it's very expensive. It makes my sales very expensive. Being able to deliver larger amount to a warehouse that would service the market would be a benefit to me,” she said. She added the changes will particularly benefit smaller start-up wineries and those are the ones right now that are really driving economic growth locally. She points to how the Napa Valley changed the face of California and suggested more freedom may help local wineries do likewise. For his part, Smith said he felt it would be much easier to get market access for the producers. He said he felt the need to get something on the table after two years of consultation to show he was listening to his constituents and that he understands their concerns. He said the bill is a first step in that regard. With Ontario PC leader Tim Hudak also coming from a wine region in Niagara and being a former economic development minister, Hudak indicated he is well aware of the industries need and has offered support for the creation of the bill.

Remember to do exercises before heading to garden

The sun is out and the ground is warming. Time to get out the garden tools and work up the flowerbeds and the vegetable garden. The Canadian Physiotherapy Association (CPA) suggests that gardeners should warm up before they start working. Those muscles might not have been working over the winter the way you’ll be calling upon them when you pick up a rake or hoe. There’s a great resource on the CPA web site www.opa.on.ca that has instructions and diagrams of stretches to get your neck, shoulders, wrists, lower back and legs ready. Check it out. Remember that if you don’t have a computer at home you can go to any public library in the county and use their computer to access the Internet. They even have staff on site who can help you. The web site goes on to cover how to hold your tools and other tips to protect yourself when raking or hoeing, weeding or planting, digging or shovelling, pruning or trimming, and of course, when lifting or carrying. The resource concludes with the statement that you should always use the right tool for the job. There’s also a link to help you find a physiotherapist if you do hurt yourself and you need help. If you don’t have space for a vegetable garden you can turn to the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food to find all kinds of information on container gardening. This is an excerpt from the web site: “Using containers, people can grow food just about anywhere there is enough sunlight: on balconies, windowsills, decks and paved spaces. Containers or raised beds also provide more accessibility for elderly or physically challenged gardeners, and they can be used when the underlying soil is too contaminated to be used to grow edible crops. Many vegetables and herbs are suitable for container gardening. The bigger the container, the longer the list of plants that can be grown. Keep in mind that plants grown in containers are grown in soilless media that drains quickly and must be watered more frequently than their soilgrown counterparts.” The Ministry of Agriculture has a map to show planting dates for vegetables in Ontario. Prince Edward County is split into two zones. Zone B is South of Picton and shows a frost free period (average in days) of 160 to 170. The average date of last spring frost is April 30 and the average date of first fall frost is Oct. 13. Zone C is North of Picton and shows a frost free period (average in days) of 150 to 170. The average date of last spring frost is May 3 and the average date of first fall frost is October 8th. These dates are approximate of course but give a guide for planting and growing seasons. Community Care has a home maintenance program that sees screened workers provide yardwork, garden-

Rotarians welcome cyclists to experience Lilac Ride Smittyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Warehouse Operation BEST ST

Three road courses available to visitors in May 25 fundraising event

BEST PRICE

AdAm BrAmBurger Staff writer

Natural beauty and varied terrain have enticed many cycling tours to roll through Prince Edward County over the years. This year, the Rotary Club of Picton is hoping that staging a new tour during a particular time of the year will be enough to attract a few more visitors to local roads in support of their many charitable efforts. On May 25, the club will stage its inaugural Lilac Ride, which will feature the landforms of Prince Edward County with the familiar purple of lilac plants just bursting into full bloom. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will be plenty of good sights and smells on the course,â&#x20AC;? said Rotary president Matt Stiff. According to Rotarian James Barkman, the club had two main objectives in declaring the ride its latest fundraising event. The first, he said, is to give people an opportunity to support projects to benefit the county. The other is to promote healthy lifestyles and fitness, which the club believes will have a positive long-term impact on society. Registrants for the ride can pick from three separate courses that will allow them to see the beauty of the county. The shortest of the routes is 25 kilometres and the next longest trek would be 50 kilometres. The complete 100 kilometre loop will take riders around Big Island and along the Green Point Road in a circular route from the Prince Edward Curling Club. Avid riders like local paramedic Mike Foley helped set up the courses and the logistics for the upcoming ride. Barkman said the club has been eagerly spreading word of the ride. It started by sending over 300 eblasts to contacts around

the county and it has also sent its poster to every cycle shop through Ontario as part of an Ontario Cycling Association network. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have 15 people signed up right now, but the riders have told us not to worry,â&#x20AC;? Barkman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With good weather like weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had this week, the cyclists will come out.â&#x20AC;? Among the initial registrants are participants from the Barrie, Toronto, and London, Ontario areas. Barkman indicated the club is hopeful it will attract 100 riders in its first year offering the ride and it is fully intending on letting the event grow and develop over time. Along each of the routes, the club will have a water station set up courtesy of Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Water Haulage, while Rotarians will also be manning the barbecues to provide lunch for all participants out on the routes. All visitors will also receive a gift bag courtesy of Rotary members and supporters. Those who wish to register for the Lilac Ride can visit the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s web site at w w w. p i c t o n r o t a r y. c a . There, they will be able to

pay for their involvement in the run with a $50 entrance fee payable through the PayPal web application. Riders can also register on the day of the race at the Prince Edward Curling Club. Barkman said the promotional poster for the event that is hanging in many store windows in the county has been designed as an interactive tool to help people discover what

they can participate in. The poster has QR codes that link to the maps for the different courses, links to the registration site, to the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s web site and Twitter account, and directly to Barkman, who will answer questions about the ride. The 100-km ride will start at 9 a.m., the 25-km and 50-km rides will start at 10 a.m. The barbecue will start at noon.

County residents encouraged to shape hospital redevelopment AdAm BrAmBurger

Staff writer

A former top provincial bureaucrat and longtime health-care observer say county residents should use their clout to ensure a new hospital serves their needs. Speaking to the Rotary Club of Picton Tuesday in the wake of Friday’s announcement that local stakeholders will continue planning toward a new county hospital, Prince Edward County Health Alliance founding chair Mark Larratt-Smith broke down the announcement. Larratt-Smith said on Friday, the Quinte Heathcare Corporation (QHC), the Prince Edward Family Health Team (PEFHT), and the South East Local Health Integration Network (SE LHIN) committed to relaunch plans for a new hospital in Picton. He noted they said it would take at least 10 years and cost $40 million, with $12 million of that to be raised by the local community through the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation and Auxiliary. Larratt Smith said that commitment by those two agencies was the firmest commitment anyone made to the project on Friday. “What’s not known? We don’t know the size of the facility. We don’t know the location of the facility. We don’t know the nature and extent of the services to be provided locally. We don’t know the number of beds that will be provided in the facility and in what combination — chronic, rehab whatever,” he said. With that in mind, Larratt-Smith said a few things could be inferred from what has been announced. One is that there is no commitment

yet to build. Another is that while the stakeholders hope to build the facility at the same site as the PEFHT clinic offices, there is no integrated proposal on the table. He also concluded that it is likely the time frame and dollar values will increase and that any decision forthcoming will be the result of an incredibly complex approval process with at least three levels of bureaucracy involved. With a project so far off in the future, Larratt-Smith said it would be difficult to vision what kind of facility the county might need. The population is growing older, technology is becoming more decentralized, both for care and diagnostics, and the provincial economy is anything but certain right now. “This is like playing a game of jackstraws,” LarrattSmith said. “If you change one thing, everything shifts.” Larratt-Smith also noted there is a trust issue, both in terms of the way local people view QHC and the way this province views its political machine in a broad sense. “The future looks unpredictable. How much confidence can we have in proposals being made now and

in planning stages? he asked. “The most important question is what can we do about it. There appears to be only one option on the table and I'd go so far as to say there's an implied threat: Go along with what we're proposing whatever it may be or there may not be anything happening.” With those concerns and a lack of community engagement in the system right now, Larratt-Smith raised a practical question that he felt the fundraising agencies might want to consider. “With all of these things, can the money be raised?” he asked, adding people are skeptical right now. Larratt-Smith said he’d be worried that if there’s a crisis or shift in policy, dollars might have to be shifted. He also said with such long lead time to build, some people with discretionary income to donate may never benefit from the new facility. To foster a way to move forward, Larratt-Smith suggested stakeholders use some leverage, noting that he believes that QHC and the SE LHIN would wear failure just as much as the community if the money wouldn’t be raised. To wit, he put for-

ward a list of four conditions the Foundation and Auxiliary should demand. First, Larratt-Smith suggested all funds raised for hospital redevelopment or reintegration be held in trust by the Foundation until the objective meets approval of the community at large. Those monies, he said would be released as progress payments toward clearly identified deliverables and outcomes, cleared by a stakeholder vote of all those contributing $10 or more to the project. Following those objectives, Larratt -Smith said the fundraising organizations should work with County council to create a committee that would meet every two months to receive progress reports from the hospital’s steering committee and to educate stakeholders on the progress they’ve identified. Last, he said, two per cent of the money raised should be put aside for community engagement initiatives to educate the public about its needs and keep it actively involved in the project. “How do we turn this into an opportunity? I want to suggest to the community to take an initiative around community engagement,” said Larratt-Smith. “I believe the Foundation and Auxiliary have done the right thing in stepping up to the plate and accepting this challenge, but I believe they should do so with some very strong conditions.” Larratt-Smith was asked whether, instead of spending $40 million on a new hospital, that money would be better spent bringing in more beds to the current structure. He noted that though he is skeptical about some of the standards that have been retroactively imposed on hospitals, the current Picton hospital does need massive upgrades in its electrical system and in some air handling systems Larratt-Smith said beds will always be important in any context and could probably be funded and used with more flexibility. He said the more important talk is about what hospital services the community needs to receive from those beds and from the service providers in operation. “From a community point of view, we have to look at providing services,” he said. “The difficulty is we haven’t grasped the point of saying, ‘This is what we need.’” Rotarian Treat Hull asked Larratt-Smith which message he was sending with his commentary about Friday’s announcement, as he was trying to decipher if “this is a good thing or whether it is a diversion from the current efforts to maintain our current level of health services.” Larratt-Smith said he was wishing for an integrated proposal, similar to the health hubs concept that brings several partners together to provide a onestop source for emergency care, primary care, long-term care, and other related services like mental health. That said, he indicated he didn’t want to be negative about process, but hoped the community takes an active role in the planning process. “I think it has potential if we really take it seriously,” he said. “It seems to me, given what’s on our plate, rather than walk away and say ‘You can’t do it,’ we ought to take it and change it to ensure it fits our needs.”

(MS) -- Attention, all green thumbs -- and the bodies attached to them: It's nearly time to get down and dirty in the garden. Whether you're transforming your backyard into an award winner or just trimming the lawn, the CSA Group, a leading certification and testing organization, asks that you remember the following safety tips: YARD WORK * Always ensure that products

Recognize safety hazards during yard work

such as electric lawnmowers, barbecues, power tools, ladders, decorative lights, extension cords and safety apparel carry the mark of a recognized certification organization, such as CSA Group. * Read the manufacturer's operating instructions and use products only as intended. * Wear protective eye and footwear (on eyes and feet, respectively). * What's that you say? Wear hearing protection when op-

an obstacle. * Clear the lawn of sticks, stones, wire, toys and other objects (including that screwdriver you lost in the grass last summer), as they could get caught in the machine or flung by the blades. * Wear clothing that provides some protection, including long pants, a shirt with sleeves and firmly-tied shoes with non-slip soles and hard toes. * Never cut the grass when it's

damp or wet, or when there is rain or lightning. Wet conditions greatly increase the risk that you will slip, suffer electric shock or clog the mower. * Always mow in daylight, never at twilight or in the dark. Keep your eyes on the lawn and look ahead (at least three feet) for debris. * Shut off, unplug and engage your mower's safety devices before removing clogged grass clippings. * Shut off the mower immedi-

Three seldom-used plants that are easy to grow

One of the most enjoyable tasks of a Master Gardener is to provide advice on plant selection and placement for the home gardener. This column is about three plants that are underused, easy to grow and make a big splash in the garden. Two years ago, I was an on-site Master Gardener for the Green Trust Garden Tour and I was most fortunate to be assigned to Pat and Dave Stuckey’s magnificent garden on Luck’s Crossroads. That is where I became familiar with the acanthus (acanthus spinosus). Also called bears breeches, it is a large plant of Mediterranean origin, three to four feet in height and spreading two-to-three feet. It has architecturally bold pink and mauve flower spikes that bloom from June to August and deeply cut arching glossy green leaves reminiscent of a thistle.

KATHY MACPHERSON

Acanthus leaves are the source of the Corinthian leaf motif that was used as a decoration in ancient Greek and Roman art and architecture. It prefers full sun or part sun and other than the occasional snail or slug, it has no serious disPicton Legion’s

ease or insect problems. Everyone who came into the Stuckey’s garden came up to the acanthus and said “what’s that?” It seriously captures attention. The second plant I recommend is blooming right now in my garden. It’s called pasque flower (Pulsatilla vulgaris). This little 6” tall fuzzy plant blooms 4 to six weeks in the spring with one-and-one-half-inch purple flowers that dance in the breeze. It self-sows which is a good thing because having a long taproot, it dislikes being transplanted. It needs full sun, medium moisture and virtually no maintenance. When it is finished blooming, it has showy seed heads. This happy little flower is a welcome sight in early spring. Pasque flower is also found in white. The third plant hails from Iran and the Caucasus. It is eryngium or sea holly. There are hundreds

of varieties of this plant which grows 18” to 36” with a 1’ spread. It has gray blue prickly flowers with bracts that come up on the end of the tall stalks. Its blue colour attracts butterflies. Plant this one in full sun with reasonably moist soil. It can tolerate drought because it is deeply rooted. Sea holly will bloom for you from July to September and provide a delicious pop of blue colour in your garden. Benign neglect is the treatment for this plant as deadheading won’t produce any additional blooms and the dried flowers look terrific in the winter landscape. It’s fun and interesting to try new plants in your garden and especially those which are not often used.

OPEN THURSDAY TO SUNDAY

Mom may appreciate chocolate or flowers. But for children who want to offer her something a little more special -- especially for their eco-conscious moms -there are a number of different gift options to make Mom's big day as eco-friendly as it is enjoyable. An eco-friendly gift for Mom is a gift that keeps on giving. When you jot down your gift idea list, think about adding these "green" gifts. * Make a basket of gardening gear. Garden plants and supplies are perhaps the greenest gifts to give Mom. Plants are so plentiful and varied that there are bound to be ideal flowers or greenery for every mother's tastes. Compile different gardening essentials, such as seeds or seedlings, organic soil mix, mulch, all-natural compost, and a few different planting containers. You can also include gardening gloves and ergonomic tools made of recycled materials. Finish the gift with the inclusion of a book that describes different garden designs and gives tips for beginners. * Dine at a local restaurant. Many families take Mom out for a meal on her special day. To make the experience eco-friendly, select among restaurants that are close to home in the area. Explore the possibilities of restaurants that may serve foods made with local, organic ingredients. If you cannot find such a restaurant, do not worry, just choose a local establishment to conserve fuel. * Pay for a car tune-up. Improving the gas mileage on Mom's car

is one gift that can be environmentally friendly. According to the United States Department of Energy, keeping a car in shape can help save money and improve fuel economy. Fixing a serious maintenance problem, such as a faulty oxygen sensor, can improve Mom's gas mileage by as much as 40 percent. Also, be sure to have her car tires properly inflated. She can be losing gas mileage by 0.3 percent for every 1 psi drop in all four tires. Getting an oil change with the recommended grade of motor oil is another gas mileage improvement measure. * Purchase eco-friendly kitchen items. It may be a major faux pas to give Mom an appliance or a new vacuum for Mother's Day. However, if your mother is an avid cook or baker, she may appreciate some new mixing bowls or utensils made from recycled materials. If Mom is the consummate entertainer, get her new glass tumblers and sipping straws made from recycled glass. They are perfect for serving cocktails and outdoor entertaining. * Pamper mom with organic

MP Kramp decides to run in Hastings-Lennox and Addington next election AdAm BrAmBurger

Staff writer

While there remains some doubt whether incumbents will represent county residents provincially and federally after elections this year, there will be a new federal representative after the next election. On Thursday, MP Daryl Kramp made official what many had speculated and that is that he was going with a large base of his voters to the new riding of HastingsLennox and Addington in time for that general election. “In dealing with the reality of the new ridings I have been obliged to make a decision as to where to contend in the next election,” Kramp said in a release. “An announcement now is necessary in order to provide fair and full opportunity for any interested citizens an opportunity to participate.” The Conservative has held the seat locally since 2004, elected four times including in 2011 when his party finally reached a majority status in the House of Commons. Previously, Kramp also ran twice unsuccessfully as a Progressive Conservative in the riding of Hastings-Fron-

would have been my preference,” he said. “It was only after much consideration and discussion with my family that I have decided to seek the nomination where I have lived for 40 years, raised a family, and ran a number of successful businesses.” Kramp indicated that over his years of service, he has made many friends and close connections in south in areas like the county and in urban areas like Belleville and Quinte West, which will be part of the new Bay of Quinte riding. He said he’s tried to serve all residents, regardless of their politics. “While I realize one cannot please everyone, I believe we have helped countless numbers of constituents and respectfully did our very best to provide representation you could be proud of.” The MP added that, should he be re-elected, he will still serve his constituents here as he works on regional projects that he hopes benefit all residents of eastern Ontario. Kramp said he knows some individuals seeking the Bay of Quinte Conservative nomination and feels that the riding will be well represented come the next election.

tenac-Lennox and Addington. During his time in Ottawa, Kramp has served as chair of the standing committee on public safety and national security and a subcommittee looking into its agendas and procedures. He was also vicechair on standing committees on government operations and on estimates and public accounts. A former municipal politician and businessman, Kramp also spent time as the co-chair of the Canada-China Legislative Association and spent time on various trade missions to Asia. While working in Prince Edward-Hastings, Kramp indicated he felt he found success in helping to bring massive investments to CFB Trenton, working with the Eastern Ontario Wardens Caucus to bring high-speed broadband technology to the region, and working to bring investment capital and affordable housing initiatives to the area. Kramp indicated that a redistribution breaking up his riding made for a very difficult decision about where he was going to continue his political career. “Serving the entire riding

Regent Theatre featured in new Phantom film Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

A phantom will invade the Regent Theatre this month. On Monday, May 26 at 7:30 p.m. the Regent will be hosting a gala screening of a new take on an old classic â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Phantom of the Opera. The new film by Canadian director Anthony D.P. Mann of Kingston was shot in part at the Regent with the majority of filming taking place in Kingston. The new Phantom story opens with a paranormal reality TV series which comes to film an episode at the old theatre, awakening past terrors. The film's story is set both in present day and in the 1930s. The film is based on French writer Gaston Leroux's gothic novel about a disfigured musical genius whose obsession over a young opera singer named Christine leads to frightening consequences. Mann, who directed the film and stars as the Phantom, said the film's cast was entirely sourced locally. The movie was also the subject of a TV Cogeco reality series â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Casting Christine: The Phantom Reimagined â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with winner Savannah Kimmerer playing opposite Mann as the Phantom's love interest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are people from Belleville, Kingston, Gananoque â&#x20AC;&#x201D; this whole stretch of highway â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that are involved in this thing,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did a huge gala in Kingston a couple of weeks

ago. It's playing a whole series of festivals, like Fan Expo in Toronto, Montreal Comicon.â&#x20AC;? Mann said the Regent Theatre screening is going to be special because a portion of the film was actually shot there. He said he hopes to sell out the theatre for the gala screening at the end of the month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It looks fantastic in the film itself,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It serves as the exterior for the opera house in the film.â&#x20AC;? Mann said it was decided to set the film in the 1930s and the Regent, built in 1922, provided a great look. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They actually opened their doors to us and welcomed us in. It has the right look, it's a beautiful building that's maintained its period charm, yet I've always felt there's a bit of a sinisterness, or a bit of mystery to it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It looks awesome on film.â&#x20AC;? He said he was amazed by the generosity and enthusiasm of the Regent volunteers. While he said he's come to be known as a horror director, he said the film is more of a dark mystery. Mann described the movie as an independent â&#x20AC;&#x153;micro-budgetâ&#x20AC;? film. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That doesn't mean we're working against the grain quality wise, it just means there's a lot more passion and a lot more blood, sweat, and tears essentially.â&#x20AC;? The Phantom of the Opera will be released on DVD and video on demand later this year.

Dieppe raid veteran Russ Burrows dies at age 92 in his Picton home Prisoner escaped from German camp just before end of the war Jason Parks

Staff writer

Prince Edward County's living link to the disastrous Dieppe raid has died. Russ Burrows passed away peacefully at his Picton home on Washburn Avenue Monday at age 92. After failing twice to enlist during the outbreak of World War II, Burrows finally caught on with the Royal Canadian Engineer Corps and was with that outfit on Aug. 19, 1942 when over half of the 6,000 -plus invading contingent were killed, wounded or captured. The long time Royal Canadian Legion Branch 78 member was among those that were snagged by the Nazi defenders and Burrows spent over two years as an Allied prisoner of war. Burrows was part of an official visit by the Government of Canada to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Dieppe raid and told the Gazette in the fall of 2012 about revisiting northwest France some seven decades after living through the worst Canadian military action in history. Burrows was there Aug. 19, 2012 just as he had been 70 years prior and said the memories came flooding back to him one more time. “Yeah, the memories came back back big time,” Burrows told the Gazette. “It was very sad.” In the town, the mood of the ceremonies honouring the price Canada paid could best be described as solemn celebration. “The people of the towns were very good, they were lined up three deep on either side of the road and applauding and cheering us,” Burrows said. ”They remember over there much better then we do here. In Europe, it's passed on from generation to generation and the kids look after the grave yard and they do that very well. There isn't a blade of grass

out of place.” Burrows was the only member of the Royal Canadian Engineer (RCE) corps taking part in the commemorative ceremony and said, standing on the beach, he could recall his mission objectives, evading enemy fire and surveying the scene afterwards while being taken prisoner. Burrows was part of a six man detachment of the 11 field company RCE that were ordered to blow up a road block. Burrows and his group got tied up on the beach and pinned down by enemy fire. Another detachment with the same objective made it to the site but were unable to to complete the task. “It didn't really matter because there was only one tank that ever got up on the promenade anyway. All the little stones kept the tanks on the beach,” Burrows said. Military historians point to the the chert beach was one of the key factors in the raids failure. Heavy tanks, vehicles and equipment became mired in the tiny pebbles. Pinned down by German

gunfire, Burrows managed to sneak behind a sea wall and waited to make a break for better cover. “I waited there quite a while,” he said. Eventually, Burrows had the nerve and the break in the gunfire to scramble behind a tank that had gotten set in on the beach. A landing craft nearby was nearly loaded with escaping soldiers and Burrows was considering making a run to the boat but the Germans put a mortar right into it and waters ran red with the blood of the Canadians. “It kind of changed my mind on swimming out and getting back on the boats,” Burrows said. Finally captured, Burrows was marched to high ground and gained a different perspective of the battlefield. “I got up on the promenade and looked back over

the beach, holy God what a disaster. So many dead,” Burrows recalled. Burrows would bounce around to and from various P.O.W. camps in France, the Baltic, Poland and Germany until March, 1945. Thanks to the advancing Russian and Allied armies, Burrows and his fellow captives were ordered to leave their camp between Hamburg and Hanover one late winter day and never returned, simply marching about the countryside. Burrows, a Canadian soldier named Pat Ireland from Peace River, Alberta and British soldier known only as Sussex because he was from Sussex, England, stole away from the mass of soldiers one day near the end of March. The trio hid in the wilds of North Central Germany, awaiting the advancing Allies in order to get behind friendly lines. During this time, Burrows and the men became desperate for food. One particularly grim day, Burrows heard a squeaking sound off in the distance and decided to check it out. In a clearing, Burrows came across an older German woman working a water pump. “At the time, I guess I looked pretty rough and in German I said 'Good morning,’” Burrows recalled with a laugh. “ I must have scared her out of her wits... I told her I was a Canadian POW and asked her if I could have something to eat.” Despite her hesitancy, Burrows and the men were lead to a house in the countryside where the woman combined a couple of eggs, flour and potatoes into potato cakes. “She was pretty nervous and you could see that, but I think she was more nervous about what her people were going to do to her if they found out than what

them fight and there won't be any more war.” According to Burrows’ recollection, the women had already lost a son in the war and had another two were fighting for the Vaterland and she didn't know where they were or if they were still alive. “We told her the war was soon going to be over. We could hear the guns at night time as they approached from both sides,” Burrows said. The group set out that morning, travelling up Hitler's Autobahn and, within a few days, met up with some British tanks.

we were going to do,” Burrows said. “We had instant coffee from a Red Cross care package and we said 'If you have hot water we can have coffee' and she couldn't get over that because they didn't have coffee there at that time.” In a surreal scene, Burrows and the two other escaped P.O.W.s sat down with the woman and discussed the war over potato cakes and coffee. “She didn't know that President Theodore Roosevelt had died but we did. But she started talking about Hitler and how he and Roosevelt, Winston Churchill and Josef Stalin should “all be put in this kitchen, lock the doors, let

BURROWS, from page 19

Within two days, Burrows was back in England with his newfound pal Ireland. “We didn't do too much after that,” Burrows recalled. “We were granted a 14 day leave but we had to be in the hospital for a while. During that time, (Victory-Europe) day had

come and Pat Ireland and I got our uniforms cleaned up and went down to Reading. They were burning Hitler in effigy, the whole bit. It was quite a party.” Burrows and Ireland came back to the hospital and were in the process of sleeping off the after effects of what was up until that time, the party of the century

until they were awoken. “The old nurse woke us up and said 'The prodigal sons have returned!' I asked her “You didn't charge us did ya?',” he said. “No, I didn't but you are going to get the hell out of here today!” she shot back. Burrows was back in Canada by July 1945. The funeral service will

Queen Elizabeth School will see a new vice-principal in its halls next year, also, as Tonia Shelmerdine will take the position filled by Tanya Whittaker this year. The board’s communications director Kerry Donnell said a variety of reasons can impact upon changes in administration, including retirements or leaves, individual requests from administrators, and leadership development opportunities.

The Prince Edward County Narcotics Committee is taking part in a province-wide campaign Saturday that would allow people to drop off expired or unused prescription medication. Here in Prince Edward, that safe drop off will take place at the OPP detach-

ment on County Rd. 1 between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. The committee was formed due to rising concerns that people of all ages were misusing narcotic prescription drugs, leading to issues with addiction.

LHIN CEO Huras commits to providing project updates every two months HOSPITAL, from page 1

The partners announced the new hospital plan will be part of a health care “campus” with a new family health team building which they said would allow patients access to an array of primary care services in one location. Family health team president Dr. Elizabeth Christie said it was exciting to talk about a “good news story about our hospital.” She said the community has twice come together to build a hospital and it's time to do it again. Christie touted the campus model as a way to improve collaboration between health services. “The family health team is in the process of developing its own new facility that will be located right next to the new hospital,” she said. “This model of a health care campus will be a fantastic opportunity for the family health team, the hospital, and the various community services to collaborate even more and make access to services even easier for our patients.” SE LHIN CEO Paul Huras said the plan for a modern facility is still being completed.

“The partnership group analyzed past plans, principles, demographics, past projections, and current and past utilization patterns and projected utilization patterns as well as trends in health care,” he said. “We are near finalizing the new plan.” Huras said the new hospital will be consistent with new health care trends and will include a yet-to-bedetermined number of inpatient beds including acute, perhaps rehab, and perhaps palliative care beds. He said the new hospital would feature 24-hour emergency care, an outpatient clinic, and would support non-traditional hospital services such as home care. “The details are being finalized, but we wanted to let (residents) know of our joint commitment to move this forward as fast as possible,” he said. Huras committed to providing residents with updates on the project every two months starting on Friday.

NDP, Green Party reps, independents yet to declare candidacy ELECTION, from page 1

"As a back-bench opposition member, I was able to get a lot of local issues on the floor of the legislature and have some accomplishments, which is not easy working in a minority parliament." Hudak, who has served as a critic for red tape reduction and small business development and for citizenship and immigration under leader Tim Hudak, said his party will run the campaign on the notion of fiscal responsibility and restraint. "The budget was basically a vote-buying exercise, they threw all this stuff against the wall and hoped some of it would actually stick," said Smith. He added that even former premier Dalton McGuinty was taking the government back to smaller deficit territory, but since Wynne took power, he said provincial deficits have ballooned from $9.2 billion to $12.5 billion. With Hudak in Trenton last week, Smith said Ontario has to change its spending habits and it has to address rising costs for electricity if it plans to move forward. "We're a party that has new ideas," he said. "There's no plan from the NDP and the status quo seems fine from the current government. It's not fine." Last August, the Liberals selected Georgina Thompson to run against Smith. A Rotarian and registered nurse with more than 30 years experience in health care, Thompson was the first chair of the South East Local Health Integration Network and she also spent more than a decade as a municipal politician, serving council in Thurlow Township and later in Belleville. Like Smith, Thompson sees the election as one where jobs and economic growth are at stake, yet she believes in her party's plan to invest money into the economy to stimulate growth. "My main message is that we're moving forth building the economy for

the next 10 years. We're investing in people and infrastructure and promoting business. That will spur economic growth." Thompson said the Liberal party recognizes "you have to put money out to earn money" and says the Liberals would invest on infrastructure, agriculture, post-secondary education and health-care. She added that by stimulating the economy, the party is confident it can create jobs and still be on track to balance the budget between 2017 and 2018. She said a difference between her party and the PCs is that the Liberals are "not looking to cut jobs," and indicated she is confident in Wynne's plan and her leadership going forward. Knowing the Green Energy Act and the placement of industrial wind turbines in Prince Edward County was one area that cost Dombrosky votes in the last election, Thompson said she understands there is concern over where turbines are to be located. She indicated it is a "touchy subject," noting Ontario is going to need all forms of energy to move forward. She said the Liberals' industrial wind policies are under review. Thompson said she is looking forward to the campaign that will unfold over the next month and to being able to talk to constituents and learn about their concerns. "I'm looking forward to it. I know it's going to be a challenge and I believe I'm up to the challenge. I hope the people in the county will look at me as a favourable candidate and give me the opportunity to work for them at the provincial level." As of press time, the NDP and the Green Party had not named candidates to run in Prince EdwardHastings. Sherry Hayes carried the NDP banner in 2011. County resident Treat Hull, who ran Green then, gave up his party membership to be the chair of the non-partisan County FM board.

Radio station receives funding boost from CRFC

Throughout its first year of operations, 99.3 County FM will receive a break on paying for a general manager. On Friday, the station announced it had received a grant from the Community Radio Fund of Canada (CRFC), which could be used to help pay for its top employee over the course of the first year of operation. “This is very welcome news,” said the station’s chair Treat Hull. “When taken together with the grant which we received from council, we now have the dedicated funds to cover the cost of our only paid position for a year.” Hull indicated the station has been raising funds for three months since it

received its licencing approval from the Canadian Radio-television Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) and it has already raised close to the total amount it sought as part of its campaign to ensure sustainability. The station is supported by direct membership of more than 300 people in the county and it plans to operate on a non-for-profit basis with the sponsorship of local businesses and individuals in the county. Hull said the station plans to begin broadcasting from its studios at the County Farm Centre this year, preferably by September. -Staff

Patriots edge Dukes to claim Dudley Hewitt Cup Hometown hopefuls fall 2-1 to Lakeshore as OJHL champions earn trip west Jason Parks

Staff writer

By more than one measure, the 2014 Dudley Hewitt Cup Championship tournament was a great success. Cumulative attendance for the event was over 7,000 including over 1,500 that jammed the Essroc Arena for Saturday night's final game between the host Wellington Dukes and the OJHL Toronto Lakeshore Patriots and the tournament drew rave reviews from visiting teams, Hockey Canada officials and other dignitaries. In fact, tournament chairman John Kastner remarked this Dudley Hewitt Cup championship would create a new standard by which others would be judged. Locally, the host Dukes were the best team at the tournament until the final period of competition and their performance got the Wellington fan base energized and talking about the hockey club just like in their halcyon days from 2002 to 2011. Yes, about the only negative part of the tournament was the final result in which the Wellington Dukes fell to the Patriots 21 in the final game and were eliminated in the chase for the Royal Bank Cup tournament which will take place in Vernon, BC next week. Wellington Dukes coach and general manager Marty Abrams had enthused all week about the efforts of tournament co-organizers Doug Robinson and Don Cotton's efforts as well as the volunteers that spent countless hours making sure the production ran smoothly. The effort was evident to those that came to Prince Edward County last week to either participate in or watch the 2014 Central Canada Junior A Hockey Championships. “The feedback has been tremendous and I believe we've elevated the level at which future tournaments will be judged,” Abrams told the Gazette. “The fan support was phenomenal this week, the sponsorship came on board at the last

minute to make the Dudley Hewitt a success and the community involvement is what really separates this tournament from others.” And it was not just the Dukes GM who felt that way. “Everything has been first class off the ice,” Semifinalist Fort Francis Lakers coach Wayne Strachan told the Gazette earlier in the week. “The food, the accommodations, our contact people, the hockey fans, it's all been great. I'm not sure if this is because of the tournament or because this is the way people in Prince Edward County are but it's been really nice to experience.” The play of the Dukes grabbed plenty of attention this week as they ran the table in the round robin and punched their ticket directly to the Cup finals. A ticket that was the hottest thing in the village since the 2011 Buckland Cup finals. “It got everybody talking about this team and junior hockey in the area. The fan support in Prince Edward County and the Quinte area made it the

tournament it was,” Abrams added. With the bye on the line Thursday, the Dukes offered a dramatic comeback to the over 1,200 hun-

dred in attendance on Thursday. Tied 2-2 with under 10 minutes to play, the Patriots edged ahead with a powerplay goal at the 12:48 mark

of the third that only served to set the stage for a memorable comeback. Less than a minute later and the puck inside the Toronto Lakeshore zone,

Andrew Coupland's point blast would be kicked out to captain Erick Delaurentis who banged home his second of the tournament at 13:10. The Essroc faithful roared in support of the hometown squad and the Dukes, spurred on, provided more. Just 73 seconds later, Steven Deeg would storm up the ice and pick the corner on Pats netminder Evan Buitenhuis and it was 4-3 Wellington. With the rink buzzing like seldom before, the local finished off a magical two minutes of hockey at 15:10 as Andrew McCann made a nice cross crease feed to Chad Thibodeau who had a two foot tap in for Wellington's fifth of the game. The goal effectively put the Pats to bed and put Wellington into the final. “In the third, we had something left in the tank,” Abrams explained. “We're able to generate a push and the fans had a lot to do with that no question, they weren't going to let the

Dukes goaltender Teichmann claims tournament MVP honours

CUP, from page 24

The game had a strange start as Jacob Hayhurst was left alone in front 19 seconds in and beat Tyson Teichmann on the first shot of the game. But under a minute later, Mike Robinson shovelled a loose puck to the Toronto Lakeshore net that Buitenhuis played like a bag of toys and got the locals back on even footing. In the second, the teams traded goals again. Micheal Prapaveesis scored on a five-on-three power play at 4:50 to again put the Pats in the driver seat 2-1. But Trevor Abbott, playing his first game of the tournament, snapped home a seeing-eye shot from the blue line at 17:21 to get the game back to even. After the Pats were forced win a semi-final contest against Fort Frances Friday, the finals were set with the Dukes office getting busy selling tickets at 2 p.m. The day of the game and steady stream of hockey fans filtering in to purchase passes until puck drop. The final was a tight checking affair that was scoreless after the first. Toronto got the first goal when Andreas Tsogkas picked the top shelf on Teichmann at 13:14 of the second while the Patriots were on a powerplay. Late in the frame with Wellington on the man advantage, Thibodeau would jam home a loose puck at in the crease to tie the game 1-1 with 23 seconds left. Wellington would get a couple of chances early in the third when Jacob Panetta had an open net and only a quick thinking Pats defender flinging his body in harms way kept the puck out. Minutes later, Ken Mur-

duff almost converted a 2on-1 rush but Buitenhuis was sharp on the play. Toronto would push ahead at 10:50 when Rory Bell snapped home a Hayhurst feed to make it 2-1. Wellington would get a powerplay in the late going and later lifted Teichmann in the final minute but to no avail. “Both teams played well and I really thought there wasn't much difference between the two in the two games,” Abrams said. Top blue liner Andrew Coupland was lost to Wellington in the second minute thanks to a marginal check from behind penalty. “When we lost Coupland, that really hurt our depth, to give up only two goals to that team playing 58 minutes with five defencemen, that's a testament to the dedication and perseverance and physical ability of those players,” Abrams said. In the four games, Teichmann shone in the Wellington net and gave the Dukes every bit of top notch net minding they could have asked for. Surrendering just six goals, Teichmann was named the tournament MVP after the final game. “He was the calming influence on the team. He didn't bat an eye, he's been in those situations before and he gave us the goaltending good enough to win, just as I figured he would,” said Abrams. A number of veterans in their final year of junior hockey stepped up for Dukes in the tournament. Thibodeau looked great playing left wing after an up and down season on the backend and Abrams called the Sault St. Marie native a great and versatile leader. Andrew McCann had three points in four games and looked every part the

the village of wellington, the fans and give back to the community. they were here for the right reasons and the hats go off to those guys,” the coach added.

MEMORIAMS

MONROE- Tom. March 6, 1933May 7, 2013. Dad, God saw you getting tired And a cure was not to be So he put his arms around you And whispered “come with me” With tearful eyes we watched you, Slowly fade away Although we loved you dearly We would not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating Hard working hands at rest God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. Love your children, Teresa, Susan, Daniel, Kathryn, Angela & Derrick and all your grandchildren. MONROE- Tom. March 6, 1933May 7, 2013. One year has passed since that sad day When the one I loved was called away God took him home It was His will But in my heart He liveth still. Your loving wife Willy.

Seguin, Gallo each score twice as PECI improves its Bay of Quinte record to 3-0 behind steady pitching efforts by Wilson, Gould

Panthers strike early, rely on quality pitching to stay ahead to beat St. Theresa Monday Following Wilson in the order, Kyle Gould singled to shortstop to drive in Matt Gallo, who earned a walk from the third spot in the batting order. Seguin again sparked the Panthers in the third inning as he walked with one out, stole two bases, then scored on a Gallo double to left field. The Panthers continued to pad their lead in the fourth and fifths inning. Gould led off the fourth with a single, Andrew Dayton added another single and

The PECI Panthers got some needed energy from the top of the order, which helped them to never trail in a 6-2 decision over the St. Theresa Titans in Wellington Monday. Leadoff hitter Phil Seguin got on base with a line-drive single to the right side of the infield, then was able to move across to third base on a Gavin Ronan sacrifice. Two batters later, Bob Wilson would cash him in with a ground out to second base.

Pat McPherson managed to drive in a pair of runs with a single up the middle. In the fifth, Gallo doubled, advanced to third on a wild pitch, then scored when Gould knocked a hard-hit grounder to the left side of the field. “We managed some timely hitting there and Wilson and Gould closed things out for us,” said PECI assistant coach Rob Garden. Defensively, Wilson allowed just one hit through three innings before the Titans put together a bit of muscle at the plate in the fourth inning. St. Theresa managed to put five consec-

utive batters on base with a pair of doubles, a pair of walks, and a fielder’s choice out. They would drive in two runs as part of that minisurge before Wilson would get two batters at the bottom of the order to strike out and fly out in order to end the threat. During his four innings, Wilson managed six strikeouts and allowed just three hits against. Over the course of the next two, Gould didn’t give up a single hit and he struck out two additional batters. The Panthers keep track of their pitch counts throughout the game and

track ball-strike ratio. Assistant coach Hugh Cameron noted the Panthers threw a majority of strikes with 55 per cent of the 106 pitches they threw combined making it into the strike zone. Statistically at the plate, Gould was a key contributor, going three-for-three with a pair of RBI and a run scored. Gallo also finished th e day with a pair of doubles and an RBI. He reached base three times and scored twice. The win lifts the Panthers to a 3-0 mark in Bay of Quinte Conference regular season action as the Panthers also easily handled the Quinte Saints in the last

week with a 9-3 decision. “They’re a younger team this year too,” Garden said, indicating much of the league is going through a rebuilding season. That said, he indicated the Panthers have most of their players eligible to return next year and they’re winning with one of their youngest teams in recent memory this year. Today, PECI welcomes the Holy Cross Hurricanes from Peterborough to Wellington for an exhibition contest. Garden said he didn’t know anything about the visiting team, but hoped they would give the Panthers a decent challenge.

Panthers learning valuable lessons on rugby pitch PECI players gain experience in return to senior Bay of Quinte Conference action adam bramburger Staff writer

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of learning on the rugby pitch taking place for the PECI Panthers this season, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost to be expected. Having employed just a junior team in the past couple years, the Panthers are active at the senior level now and that means some of their players had to take last year off before returning to the sport this year. That, coupled with the usual time needed to train Grade 9 athletes has meant coach Paul Pickard has had to be patient with his troops. So far, he likes what he is seeing develop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing alright as a team,â&#x20AC;? Pickard explained after the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second game, a 20-7 loss to the East Northumberland Blue Dragons Tuesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was impressed with their position out there. I just wish we had a little more experience. They sometimes get stuck and are looking and thinking where to go. By then, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s usually too late.â&#x20AC;? Pickard said the Panthers have been very good about showing up to their practices this season, even in less than favourable weather, and they are really trying to support one another through the learning curves presented. The coach said he expects to see even more learning ahead this week as the fields improved. The Panthers had two varsity games scheduled this week and their Grade 9s will also be taking part in an exhibition tournament with Trenton and Bayside. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We should see some real improvement this week, everyone wants to do well,â&#x20AC;? Pickard concluded. On Tuesday, PECI went down a try almost immediately in the game, but they fought back to within feet of the Dragons goal line and almost tied the game when it was 5-0. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a couple of times where we could have

(Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff) more try later, though Pickard said he was impressed with the sportsmanship and respect shown by the team from Brighton. Players from both sides cheered good hits and helped one another up. The second outing was an improvement on the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opener, a 34-0 decision at the hands of the St. Paul Falcons earlier in the year. The Panthers held with the Trenton-based team well during the first half, but as the game wore on, inexperience and conditioning caught up with the PECI side and the Falcons grabbed easy points.

put it in, but just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t finish it off,â&#x20AC;? said Pickard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a few guys who arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t used to their role yet. They could push instead of picking the ball up. On a ruck, you need to be able to get there and push rather than pick the ball up and try to move forward.â&#x20AC;? East Northumberland built up a 15-0 lead before the Panthers could spring a runner free from the pack to convert their lone try of the game. Mason Norlock put the kick through the uprights after that try to score the only convert of the game. The Dragons scored one

Thus far in the season, Pickard said he believes his forward corps have been the leaders of the Panthers team, partially because they are bringing some experience to the table. Meanwhile, the hope is that an inexperienced line of backs will start catching up as they get more exposure to the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our backs, four or five kids there are brand new, they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played any sports. They are enjoying the physical nature of the game, even if not all the most gifted athletes, they can be involved and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what rugby is all about.â&#x20AC;?

New management for Maples home Sandy Young purchases retirement residence north of Picton To hear health-care experts tell it, the sustainability of Ontario's healthcare system will depend on getting the right person the right level of care at the right time. Too much care drains the system and to little care does nothing to assist the individual. With that in mind, it's positive news for the local health system that The Maples Retirement Home will remain in operation under new management and ownership. Providing assisted living for up to eight residents that are independent but could use the benefits of someone preparing meals and undertaking laundry services, the Maples has been purchased and will be operated by Sandy Young. A realtor by trade, Sandy said it was a life long dream to have a business with her older sister Judy (Boudreau), who will manage the day-to-day operations of the Retirement

Homes Regulatory Authority licensed home north of Picton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's something Judy and I have always wanted to do and the time was right,â&#x20AC;? Sandy Young said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our mom had dementia and we had the experience of trying to finding homes that could suit her as she progressed. So this idea was always in the back of our minds. We are looking at this as a family business and we are in for the long term.â&#x20AC;? Boudreau spent the better part of two decades working for Northstar Frontier, a CN Rail contracted company that provided remote work camp and catering solutions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Judy managed The Bunkhouse in Foleyet and basically cared for the workers,â&#x20AC;? Young said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She would be cooking for up to 150 workers, so cooking for eight is something she can handle.â&#x20AC;? Cooking and caring. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the main thing is to help the residents comfortable and happy,â&#x20AC;?

Boudreau said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We've been engaging them and they've really started to open up.â&#x20AC;? Offering the same homey feeling with commitment and compassion to people that previous owner and operator Jean Dorenberg did, Young said this family business was about people first. Regular activities and games and a vegetable and fruit garden that will â&#x20AC;&#x153;They need to feel needed and we want to include them because this is their home,â&#x20AC;? Young said.

On Saturday June 7 at 8:00pm, the music of The Eagles will be celebrated at the Regent Theatre in Picton with a new Canadian touring show called “New Kid In Town: The Ultimate Eagles Tribute”.

After an intermission, the band will return with more classic hits from the latter portion of The Eagles career including “Life in the Fast Lane” “The Long Run” “Heartache Tonight” and their signature song “Hotel California”. As a bonus, the multi-talented “New Kid In Town” cast will also perform solo hits made famous by Eagles band members Don Henley, Glenn Frey and Joe Walsh. Rob Killian, who plays keyboards and is one of three lead vocalists in the show, notes “New Kid In Town is a family oriented, audience-interactive performance where the crowd will know and love every song.”
