A quartet of local business were among those honoured at the 15th annual Quinte Business Achievement Awards Gala held at the Highline Hall in Wellington on Thursday evening. The Quinte business community was clearly booming as a capacity crowd toasted the best in business in the region in 2012. Prince Edward Chamber of Tourism and Commerce general manager and QBAA gala committee chair Micheal McLeod said the gala was a huge success with over 320 people attending. When the opportunity to host came up last year, I

jumped on it,” McLeod said. “It was a great chance to showcase the Highline Hall and the Prince Edward County business community.” It was the first time the event has been hosted in Prince Edward County and it was also the quickest sell out of any QBAA awards gala. “I think having it here in the county and having a great host of nominees from Prince Edward shows how a great event this can be and I've had nothing but positive feed back about it,” McLeod added. And it wasn't just area business people taking in the festivities. “It was really great seeing so many Prince Edward County council members out supporting the event and supporting local business. It doesn't matter if its a one person shop or a big company like Highline, it's all about celebrating business, local successes and entrepreneur-

ship,” McLeod said. As for the awards, a pair of farming operations were heralded as Cherryvale Organic Farms in Athol was the top agribusiness in 2012 and Phil Prinzen of Prinzhaven Diary Farms just north of Wellington was selected as top entrepreneur of 2012. Universal Fan and Blower earned top marks in the manufacturing category while Tom Shiel and his Cherry Valley Springs Restaurant was the winner in the Hospitality/Tourism category. Other winners included Bob Clute (business person), Ontario Soil Recycling-Brighton (environmental leadership), Research Casting International (innovation and technology), Pasta Tavola (new business), National Air Force Museum of Canada (not-for-profit), G Boyd Boutique (retail) and Trenton Pet Hospital (service/Professional).

Although all agreed the age-in-place concept was a worthy initiative, several councillors questioned earmarking money raised through the sale or lease of land at the H.J. McFarland Home property to support further development of the concept. Ultimately, council voted to allocate all proceeds from the sale or lease of land at the property to a development fund — essentially a reserve account that requires a council resolution to draw from. The motion also identified the H.J. McFarland Home property for specific uses such as health care, a medical clinic, seniors housing and assisted care living, and initiated a rezoning of the property to come in line with those uses. The property is roughly 20 acres and has also been identified as a potential site for a new hospital. A report presented to council on Tuesday says the concept “envisions a seniors’ community that will encourage active living and integration into the community, but also facilitate residents’ transition into increasing levels of assisted living if additional support becomes necessary as an individual ages.” “The age-in-place concept embraces the demographic direction of the

municipality and demonstrates commitment and respect for the elderly in a positive, integrated way that includes benefits for the whole community,” the report says. The report says implementation of the initial stage of the concept will require further staff reports to council which will outline any financial implications. Community development director Gerry Murphy said creating a development fund would ease the burden of any future spending needed for the concept. “The idea is that as we move forward with the concept through the sale and lease of property we'll be generating revenues and those revenues will be earmarked for the purposes of supporting further development of the concept,” he said. “As we move forward with the evolution of the concept, there may be required expenditures on behalf of the municipality, I'm not sure exactly what they would be now, but there will be.” Despite being supportive of the concept, councillor Janice Maynard questioned allocating the money to a development fund. “It's such a broad term and that's where I'm having a little bit of difficulty,” she said at Tuesday's meeting.

Ceremony marks completion of second building at Atorkor Education Centre Hall seeks more funding to furnish new classrooms AdAm BrAmBurger

Staff writer

More than 300 guests including Ghana's youth and sport minister and four tribal chiefs in full regalia were on hand for the opening of the second building at the Atorkor Vocational Training Centre.

The building is slated to complement the existing training centre, which opened last fall due to generous support from Prince Edward County donors. The new building will train approximately 250 students in subjects like masonry, welding, electri-

cal installation, and plumbing, offering more potential trades within the coastal fishing village. Those students will join with the 80 already enrolled in the first phase of the school, who are studying computers, business administration and traditional fibre arts and dressmaking. The opening was an occasion for great excitement, reports project co-ordinator Peta Hall, a longtime county resident. She said a cultural group of singers, dancers and drummers entertained and everyone joined in a stirring school anthem with the lyrics: "Our motto stands. Knowledge is power. Power to shine, shine, shine. Power to learn, learn, learn. Power to grow, grow, grow." "It was truly moving," said Hall. The joy was tempered, however, by the fact the new building is not quite ready to attract those students and Hall says she's not sure when the building will become fully functional. "This beautiful building is complete, but empty," she said. "I am now on the funding hunt. We need to purchase the heavy-duty machinery and equipment and we need money for installation and set-up costs. This is all needed before we can start the courses."

For now, Hall said that means long lists of students waiting to enroll will have to wait, though she is encouraged that grant money may become available soon. "We have irons in the fire, but nothing in the bank as of yet, however I am crossing my fingers for some assistance through a grant soon," she said. Hall did receive some

good news at the opening, also, as Ghana's Minister of Youth and Sport, Kofi Humando, offered permanent funding through the National Youth Employment Program. Once again, the support offered by county residents has also been a boon. Recently, bins were placed at the Home Hardware stores in Picton and Wellington and at Evans Lumber to collect hand tools. Hall indicated there has been an overwhelmingly positive response. "We have accumulated such a valuable number of tools for the school — thank you to everyone involved, what generosity!" she said. "The tools are being sorted, cleaned, and oiled, ready for shipment. The crate maker from Bloomfield is asking about the size and weight of the crate (which he is donating) and is trying to get some Canadian brokers interested in shipping them."

Hall indicated the construction project itself is an example of how the Atorkor residents are learning valuable skills. Hall was back in Canada while the construction was completed and she marvelled about the work construction manager Sammy did while she was away. The building, she said, is up to her standards, which are much higher than those practiced in Ghana. "The building looks truly wonderful. He took it from below roof level to completion. He did it so well," Hall said. In addition to completing a functional, aesthetically sound building, Hall said the crews also worked to fill a large open courtyard with trees, which will provide a cool gathering area. "They are, of course, all called Mama Peta's trees, and have survived cement being dropped on them, trucks driving over them, strong sea breezes and a lack of water." Hall also told the Gazette, the students working in the first building are engrossed in their studies and their laughter indicates they enjoy their work. There haven't been many problems through the first year of studies, though occasionally the staff does find soap taken from the washrooms. Most, Hall said, are truly dependent on scholarships or bursaries to make their education possible. Many do not have the time to find part-time work with the hours they spend in the classrooms, though some are starting to use their studies to their own benefit. In dressmaking classes, they are learning to make hats. The Batik students are learning to print Friday wear shirts. In turn, some of the students are making clothing for their friends, or selling their Batik work. "It is truly rewarding for them — and for me to watch it happening," said Hall.

Fate-filled musical Oliver! definitely worth taking a chance on at Mt. Tabor Mummers cast brings Dickensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tale to life AdAm BrAmBurger Staff writer

The Marysburgh Mummers had their audiences begging for more last weekend as the musical Oliver! opened at Mt. Tabor Playhouse. In a flash, they were welcomed into Dickensian London as a chorus of poor working children raised their bowls and their voices in harmony at the chance of receiving just a little bit of gruel to eat from the lord and lady of their workhouse. Under the direction of Al Hazell, they marched down the aisles and left little choice for a viewer to escape the harsh reality of a different time and an age where people of different classes were far apart, yet living close together. Oliver! is the musical adaptation of Charles Dickensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; book Oliver Twist, by Lionel Bart, and the focus is indeed on the twist â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a cruel set of circumstances leaving the title character in a position he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t born into with him completely oblivious that he could, or should, have received a better lot in life. It is a treat to watch young Callum McDonald go through his journey in life as Oliver as the bright young actor manages to come up with the perfect expressions and emotions one might expect from a boy his age trapped in a world he cannot seem to control. He innocently asks the comically mismatched Mr. Bumble (Peter Johnson) and Widow Cornley (Lori Farrington) for some more food,

Staging such a large musical in an intimate setting Mt. Tabor is no easy task, particularly when the majority of the cast are children, but there was no shortage of talent and no time when the action appeared to be forced in order to make something work. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a testament to the way the Marysburgh Mummers operate as theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been www.kokartage.ca making these types productions go off without a hitch for years, involving their community and having fun.

then looks every bit scared and bewildered at the thought of being sold to the the local undertakers to work for them as a coffin boy. The simple and impressionable youth, then, was able to put up little defence when the charismatic, welcoming Dodger (capably played by McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister Isobel) easily led him across the fine line to become a petty criminal, considering himself at home with the creepily supportive Fagin (Don Watson) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who steals the stage with his friendly coaching) and a band of

That turn of fates brought the young lad right into the company of the notorious murderer Bill Sikes (Pat Larkin) who appeared to ooze evil and was so believable while abusing his girlfriend Nancy (Micheline Cox) and intimidating others on stage the audience couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but cringe and cower as moved. Eventually, the truth comes out that young Oliver was destined for something better than workhouses or

County selects Carbone to lead its community development department CAO familiar with successful candidate from Sioux Lookout ChAdâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;IBBOtsON

Staff writer

The municipality announced this week who will lead the new community development department for the foreseeable future. A press release Monday said the County will welcome new community development director Neil Carbone into the fold on Nov. 20 of this year. Carbone will be joining the County after a five-year term working in the Municipality of Sioux Lookout and comes to the County with a diverse background in municipal administration. The release says Carbone brings experience in community development, communications, community services, human resources and airport management. Mayor Peter Mertens said the position was advertised internally as well as within and outside of the municipality. Although he wasn't di-

NEILâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;CARBONE

rectly involved in the hiring process, Mertens said many people were considered for the position. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe there were quite a number of candidates both from within the county and outside (the county),â&#x20AC;? Mertens said. With chief administrative officer Merlin Dewing and Carbone both working in Sioux Lookout before coming to the county, Mertens said there will be a level of familiarity between the two. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They've obviously worked together in the past,â&#x20AC;? Mertens said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Ś What it does, it gives the CAO at least some firsthand knowledge of (Carbone's) capabilities and how his capabilities would work into the requirements of the County. Ultimately, getting the best person for the position has been our objective in this whole exer-

cise.â&#x20AC;? The release says under Carbone's leadership the community development department will â&#x20AC;&#x153;strive to create sustainable jobs hat match the county's employment needs,â&#x20AC;? attracting businesses by promoting the municipality as a good place to do business. The release says Carbone will also ensure the department works on building local assets, resources and heritage. Mertens said the municipality is excited to see the department develop. He said the County has tried the traditional model and will now look to have an inclusive department which looks at all the local factors in business attraction and retention. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now we're looking at all of the players in the county who contribute to economic development and who would contribute to some degree to both the attraction and retention efforts,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I see this as as a whole new opportunity for the county to expand its economic development footprint and probably be more effective at it.â&#x20AC;? Carbone said he is eager to join the department and is already thinking about what can be done with it.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can already see the potential to diversify the economy and create sustainable employment simply by leveraging and maximizing our existing strengths and resources,â&#x20AC;? he said in the release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What is most exciting is that we can do this without compromising that unique quality of life that brings so many people to Prince Edward County.â&#x20AC;? Dewing said Carbone's ability to work positively with residents will be an asset. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Carboneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to customer service and diversity of experience will provide collaborative leadership for our community development department,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His experience

PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY

Looking back in the

Picton Gazette 80 years ago — 1932

■ Four county ladies appeared to be ahead of their time as Alice Lowey,Lenna Hare, Mrs. Brown, and Mrs. White enrolled in night school classes in motor mechanics. The ladies said they enjoyed working on the cars and there was some speculation the ladies could open a garage. ■ At the annual meeting of the Prince Edward County Hospital, president Robert Davison said the hospital served 386 patients in 1931. There were also 62 babies born at the hospital. The average stay for patients at the hospital that year was 9.67 days. There were just 12 deaths occurring at the hospital, compared to 22 the previous year. ■ More than 1,260 barrels of apples were shipped from county producers via rail to Montreal, where they would be shipped overseas in a lucrative export market.

50 years ago — 1962

■ A Holstein cow developed at breeder Duncan Foster’s Bloomfield farm set Canadian records for milk production and fat in her weight class. Inverlea Duchess Jean produced 18,223 lb of milk, and 639 lb of butterfat, 3.50 test, in a 305-day period. Each day, the cow would give between 4070 lb of milk throughout the test period. ■ The Ontario Highways Department and the OPP were planning to host safety seminars across the province, where officers would share their expertise on local issues with the department to help reduce collisions. The first such seminar was held in Belleville. Ronald Thomson, the county engineer was also in attendance. ■ The president of Wellington’s Quinte Milk Products Ltd. John Muncaster Hartwick, 60, was selected president of the National Dairy Council of Canada.

30 years ago — 1982

■ Efforts from Picton reeve Charles Hepburn to bring forward a motion to have fellow County councillors give a portion of their own indemnities to support javelin star Faye Roblin was seen as being in bad taste by several other councillors who didn’t like the idea of legislating charity in open council. ■ Trustees with the Prince Edward County Board of Education voted themselves a five-per-cent pay hike to $210 monthly. The number was the maximum the trustees could give themselves to still fall within their restraint guidelines. The motion also set increases to $300 monthly for 1983-1984 and 1984-1985. A margin of 9-5 carried the vote forward. ■ Despite some misgivings the job did not go to a longtime county resident, the County’s finance and personnel committee hired Veronika Eva Duncan, 58, as the new administrator of McFarland Home. Duncan was residing in Picton, but had been working primarily in Toronto.

10 years ago — 2002

■ The Hastings and Prince Edward Counties Health Unit received its first confirmation that West Nile Virus was in local mosquitoes as a sampling collected in August using traps along Old Highway 2 in Quinte West tested positive. Dead birds in that area had tested positive earlier. ■ Students at Wellington’s C.M.L. Snider School created piggy banks to distribute through the village to raise funds for park improvements. They raised $1,700.

Naturalization is more than flowers and shrubs

For three years, I have had the pleasure of teaching a Backyard Naturalization Course in Belleville. It’s evolvement as a course was in response to the growing interest in backyard naturalization. For most who take the course, it is because they wish to attract wildlife to make their backyard setting complete, much as one would purchase fish to make a home aquarium setup complete. For others, naturalization just seems like the right thing to do. The course runs for six weeks, and during that time we look at native trees and shrubs, and groundcovers, focusing on those that produced berries or seeds that wildlife seek out as a food source. We learn that food is paramount in getting wildlife to your backyard. It is one of four basic components of good wildlife habitat – the other three being water, shelter and space. We learn that by working within these four basic principles, we can either attract wildlife, or by using our knowledge of wildlife needs, alter any of those elements to dissuade those we don’t wish to have, or “manage” the ones we do have when certain species become too much of a good thing. We also learn that in a backyard setting, one doesn’t control wildlife by physical removal; live trapping is an exercise in futility, at best, as wildlife is never sedentary. Wildlife is always moving around and seeking out vacant real estate and it isn’t long before another so-called nuisance animal has arrived to occupy the vacancy. Any neces-

sary wildlife control is done through managing or altering those four basic components of wildlife habitat. It is the very foundation on which sound wildlife management has always been based, and continues to be today. It is not a new concept, for I learned it back in Grade 5 under the guidance of a very forward-thinking teacher who was way ahead of her time. That same concept works equally well in a backyard setting. Attracting wildlife doesn’t stop at providing trees and shrubs and wildflowers. Because shelter is one of the prime components of wildlife habitat, we also discuss nest boxes, bat houses, shelters, perches – basically anything extra we could provide to answer their needs for shelter. We look at bird feeding too as a way to supplement the local food supply, thereby ensuring that the wildlife we have worked so hard to attract, will stay. Perhaps the course’s title, Backyard Naturalization, is a

Cyclist killed in Bloomfield

A well-known Bloomfield man was pronounced dead at Kingston General Hospital after being hit on his bicycle by a vehicle Saturday night. John Fox, 56, who was known for riding his bicycles through the village was struck on its Main Street Saturday night.

Prince Edward County OPP responded to the collision at about 10:48 p.m. At the time, police received reports that Fox had been in the centre of the roadway when he was struck by an eastbound vehicle. The investigation continues. -Staff

misnomer; the course might be better named, “Backyard Responsibility”, for during those six weeks, we often drift into other topics too, like lawn maintenance, and how to maintain a healthy lawn without drowning it annually in herbicides, pesticides and fertilizer. Natural remedies. Nematodes to control grubs, vinegar instead of weed sprays and corn gluten as a natural weed suppressant and fertilizer. Responsibility in the backyard. This leads into the value of compost, and those who register for the course are amazed when I tell them of the things that I routinely compost and how really easy it is to have a backyard composter that will provide you with an enormous quantity of natural fertilizer with virtually no need to rely on expensive commercial fertilizers. It’s all about backyard responsibility and how we can invest a few dollars into a good recycling lawn mower and mulch our leaves instead of burning or hauling them to the curb. My recycling mower reduces all my leaves to dust in the fall. A portable wood chipper takes care of all my broken and trimmed branches. If you create it in your yard, then you should return it to your yard, into some kind of usable product. It is the only responsible thing to do. This is the message from one of our guest speakers, Beatte Heissler from Natural Themes in Frankford. Bea has an incredible knowledge of biodiversity, as a result of her many years as an environmental science teacher at the H.R. Frink Centre near Plainfield.

Now retired, and operating her own native plant nursery near Frankford, her philosophy has always been to kill or remove nothing until she has a clear understanding of why it is there, what it is doing, and mostly, how it ties in with the natural scheme of things in her backyard. You come away with a better understanding of all wildlife, insects included, and how they all interact and are crucial in biodiversity. To complement our course, we also have Jennifer Nash of Prosperity Acres in Thurlow talk to us on organic gardening and the importance of going pesticide free and seeking out healthier alternatives. And, new this year, will be Natachia Bond from Harwood Estates Winery in Hillier who will tell us of her work with beneficial insects. All of these components combine to make us all appreciate that backyard naturalization goes well beyond the planting of a few native shrubs and trees. It involves looking at everything we do in the backyard, and how we can make it healthier and more attractive to not only wildlife, but to us as well. This year’s Backyard Naturalization course will take place at Quinte Conservation, commencing Sunday, November 4th. Still a few spots left. Contact me if you would like to attend.

Junk food tax, graphic warnings not likely to work

ASK most smokers about the graphic images that many states and provinces have legislated onto their packages of cigarettes and most will just laugh off the warning as they light up another package. Follow that inquiry up by asking if higher taxes on beer and liquor have hurt LCBO or Beer Store sales in the province, or whether convenience stores are selling fewer cigarettes because of either taxes or those graphic images. Business doesn’t seem to be much less brisk, even in an economic crisis. This week, the Ontario Medical Association decided it would advocate for both higher taxes and such warnings to come on the packages of sugary or fatty foods to warn people about the epidemic of obesity. Colour us skeptical of the idea that either strategy is going to effectively work as most people seem to have their vices and they stick to them. Essentially, this type of move would be no more than an added tax for most Ontario families as well as a burden to the companies who produce this food who would be tasked with coming up with new processes to deliver these messages and new costs to retailers who may have to readjust their point-ofsale systems to implement this tax. Perhaps, there would be benefit if that makes healthier choices more reasonable in comparison with junk food, but it is hard to guarantee that such an outcome would take place and that people would take advantage of the difference. With regard to the labeling, food producers in this province are already required to put nutrition information on packaging for the items they sell in retail locations, so it doesn’t seem like a reasonable solution to be putting more money into scare tactics when education is clearly more important. When the Dalton McGuinty Liberals first came to power in Ontario, they talked a lot about changing the health care system by leaning toward prevention rather than treatment and that’s likely where the solution here lies. Teach people to read that nutrition information and know what it means at an early age. Instead of spending on adding bureaucracy in the health care field, this province should continue spending the dollars it does have on front-line people who can convince Ontario residents about the value of a healthy diet. Spending on nutrition education programs in schools, like the Hastings and Prince Edward Learning Foundation’s Food For Learning initiative, and ensuring more Ontario residents have access to trained dietitians would have a lasting impact on the nutritional choices that young people make, and in turn, that will ease the burden on the health care system the doctors say takes on costs of up to $2.5 billion each year in this province due to obesity. A focus should also be placed on keeping youth active and a tax increase on food items their families are going to buy anyway seems counterproductive when it comes time to divvy up the budget and decide which activities families are able to afford.

Author’s lecture at Consecon library is ‘All about spooks’

A fundraising lecture is being presented on Sunday, Oct. 28 at 2 p.m. at the Consecon branch of the County of Prince Edward Public Library with funds raised to be allocated to preserving the over 150 year old historically significant church that houses the library branch. Dealing with spiritualism, the talk entitled “All about Spooks” will be given by retired professor and author Stan McMullin and will focus on research he has collected and presented in Canada and abroad. This will include highlights of his adventures with those who commune with the dead, of people’s strange encounters with the occult, and of his own experiences with strange happenings. McMullin became interested in how Canadians used the séance to communicate with the dead following his research on Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King. The author will also touch on how the media received his book, Anatomy of a Séance: A History of Spirit Communication in Central Canada and there will also be ample opportunity for members of the audience to trade their stories and ask questions. A professor of Canadian studies, Stan McMullin spent his teaching years at the University of Waterloo and Carleton University. He has lived in Hillier with his wife Chris for the last 18 years and is presenting this lecture on behalf of the library. This is the first in a series of fundraising events to help preserve the building. A major focus of the restorative work is the unique Crown of Thorns style of steeple that graces the stone church. “We have already received a significant donation toward the restoration efforts from Phil Parkin for which we are extremely grateful,” says Library CEO Barbara Sweet. “It is not often that a problem is solved so readily,” adds Sweet. “When Phil approached me at the Consecon Area Ratepayers AGM last spring and offered to pay for the tower repairs I was struck not only by his generosity, but his belief in the vibrancy of the Consecon community and the library branch within it.“ Parkin’s contribution has been put towards the immediate repairs that were needed so that the steeple structure is not compromised down the road. “I am not the volunteering type,” says Parkin, “but I

saw that I could help in another way and am happy to do so because the library is so important to the community.” Many in the area count on the library for their access to the Internet and, as Parkin points out motioning to the computers in the branch, “these are indispensible, especially for the young people.” Sweet agrees, adding, “In these tough economic times it is easy to become discouraged but Phil, in a huge leap of faith, demonstrated that he believes in the role that the library plays in the community and, by extension, in the county.” The work has just begun, however, and the library still needs to raise additional funds to complete the work. “We will present a number of fundraisers that are in keeping with the library’s mandate to inform, educated and provide enjoyment in the community,” says Sweet. “We also welcome fundraising ideas that will further this project.” The Consecon branch acts as a hub in the village, providing valuable services and also offering enriching activities such as class visits, book clubs and the recently formed Beginners Conversational French class now on Tuesday mornings. “We count this lecture by McMullin as an excellent beginning to our formal fundraising efforts and look forward to what will be, without a doubt, a very entertaining and enlightening afternoon lecture.” Refreshments will be served. Tickets for the lecture are $10 and available at all branches of the library or can be reserved by e-mail at: crenaud@peclibrary.org or bsweet@peclibrary.org or by calling Sweet at 613-4765962.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Fox’s death marked with sadness in Bloomfield

We have had the news confirmed from KGH. John Fox, known far and wide as "Johnny the Fox" was struck by a car while riding his bike (Saturday) night at about 11 p.m. near the post office. He survived the crash but passed away this afternoon. What a sad loss for Bloomfield. No more will we hear his cheerful cries, and happy singing voice travelling through the town at all hours. No more will he be carefully redistribut-

ing good quality trash items to worthy and needy neighbours. No more his smiling face helping folks with their groceries, mowing lawns, cleaning up yards, sorting recycling, keeping Bloomfield beautiful. Johnny knew everyone in town. We liked to call him the mayor of Bloomfield. Johnny was also, in our opinion, the most active cyclist in PEC. He rode his bike every day; day in, day out. He used bikes to deliv-

er papers for more than two decades (until he crossed fifty, and he said "the papers got too big"). He hooked kids up with bikes when he could: claiming hand-me-downs and bikes discovered in ditches as his own. Over the years we had convinced Johnny to put reflectors and lights on what he liked to call his "speed" bikes: a silver hybrid (the silverado) and his mountain bike. He didn't have a driver's license

and he rode his bike everywhere he went. He rode to the bar; to bingo in Picton, to West Lake Terrace to play cards with Max. He rode in the snow. But he was hit while riding his workhorse singlespeed coaster bike. Black and PeeWee Herman-style big. Reflectors but no lights. And Johnny never, ever wore a helmet.

Project would forever alter lives of county residents The summer long drone of machinery day in and day out on property owned by Bob Hunter was reported in The Times revealing intentions of a “solar plant” and “waste digester plant”. The general location of these proposed industrial scale plants are between Swamp College Road and Wellington, bordered to the East by County Rd. 2 and Baitley Road to the West. Erecting solar panels on this land may be an eyesore, but

introducing an Anaerobic Digester industrial facility is an environmental nightmare in waiting for Prince Edward County. Council would be prudent to undertake a full environmental assessment. Industrial projects can forever change the landscape of the county. Keeping the citizens of the county fully informed each step of the way so there are no surprises should be mandatory. The impact to tourism

and existing businesses, including the quality of life if the Anaerobic Digester project were to go a head would forever alter the lives of County citizens. ■ Air quality throughout the county would suffer. ■ Smell of methane gas would affect people’s health and kill tourism. ■ Delivering organics to feed the digesters would see elevated emissions. ■ Road repair and maintenance costs would increase.

■ Traffic and noise on all major routes in and out of the county would skyrocket. What I don’t understand is how a savy businessman like Mr. Hunter would spend money on clearing his land before his project receives a stamp of approval. Even more puzzling are purportedly councillors ready and willing to green light Hunter’s project before doing any due diligence. Daniel LaFrance

Project would forever alter lives of county residents

My letter of Oct. 12 contained a mathematical error for which I appologise. The county has a population of 25,258 with 15 councilors which gives 1683 citi-

zens for each councilor not 2350 as previously stated. Coming to our neighbouring municipalities, Belleville has a population of 49454 with 8 councilors

for a ratio of 6182 citizens percouncillor. Quinte West has a population 42,697 with 12 councilors for a ratio of 3558 citizens per councillor.

Why does the County need so many councillors? Peter Hilton Demorestville

Building on a successful workshop in Belleville last spring, the not-for-profit organization KAIROS Canada will be holding a workshop at St. Philip’s Anglican Church in Milford this Saturday. The organization, which is supported by 11 mainstream Canadian churches seeks to promote ecological justice and human rights. The day’s activities will

include a presentation by Tyendinaga Mohawk elder Greg Loft on traditional Mohawk values and the deeply spiritual relationship indigenous people have with the land and their Creator. Ed Bianchi, KAIROS’ manager for dignity and rights will lead a blanket session, which allows participants to walk in the shoes of indigenous peoples who have lost land.

The afternoon session will be led by Bishop Mark MacDonald, the national indigenous bishop of the Anglican Church. It will focus on the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People and speak directly to Canada’s first nations. Fran Larkin, a Picton resident involved in the event, said it is worthwhile to help build understanding of neighbours, like those in

Tyendinaga or farther afield in places like Attawapiskat and the problems that are at the root of some of their concerns. The event begins at 9:30 a.m.and registration costs $10, which includes morning coffee or lunch. To register, please contact Paula Walker at 613-476-6063 or at pbwalker@xplornet.ca. -Staff

Operations committee identifies cost-saving opportunities

QHC ‘close’ to balancing its books Jason Parks

Staff writer

The Quinte Healthcare Corporation (QHC) is creeping closer to eliminating a $975,000 budget gap but did not release any financial details at its monthly board of directors meeting at Trenton Memorial Hospital Tuesday evening. President and chief executive officer Mary Clare Egberts said financial reports on the operation of the hospital would now be released quarterly as to not take away from the good things happening at QHC. She added that numbers would be forthcoming in November and that QHC is “close” to getting back to a balanced position. While the hospital expected to be in the red after the summer by about $500,000 due to seasonal variances, September’s financial report showed the 2012 budget gap to be almost $1 million. The extra cost was blamed on higher-than-expected utility costs as well as labour costs. In her report to directors, Egberts said the hospital's operations committee has identified a number of expense reduction options including further work to reduce medical/surgical supply waste, reducing overtime, a freeze on purchasing new minor equipment, reducing the rollout of new computers, eliminating paper reports for diagnostic services and eliminating a vacant management position. “The net is wide,” Egberts said when discussing how far QHC senior staff will look to find cost savings.

PEDIATRIC OVERHAUL

Already a precious commodity in Ontario, QHC is grappling with rebuilding its pediatric department after a pair of pediatricians have vacated their positions with the hospital. QHC chief of staff Dr. Dick Zoutman told board members Tuesday evening Dr. Keith Gregoire recently left the hospital to join the Queen's University medical team and that Dr. Kelly Vanier will soon change her practice to community and ambulatory based pediatrics. “Because of the this, we are actively rebuilding the department,” Zoutman said. While pediatricians are in short supply, QHC has been successful as of late attracting several locum-tenens pediatricians to assist with the hospital care of children. While the department is being rebuilt, QHC will look to Dr. Michael de la Roche to serve as the interim chief of pediatrics. In the past, de la Roche has served as QHC interim chief of staff and is currently the chief of infection prevention and control. While not a pediatrician, Zoutman said he highly recommended the appointment of de la Roche as a shortterm solution. He added the hospital has received applications from prospective pediatricians and will continue to actively recruit them as part of the efforts to rebuild the department.

PHYSIOTHERAPY RESTRICTIONS

In an effort to save approximately $315,000 annually, QHC is altering its outpatient physiotherapy services at all four of its hospitals in-

cluding Prince Edward County Memorial. Starting Nov. 1, outpatient physiotherapy delivered at QHC will be restricted to a certain subset of patients and patients requiring additional physiotherapy will need to access services from providers in the community. The initiative has been derived through extensive consultation with QHC medical staff and senior management will meet with orthopaedic surgeons next week to finalize implementation details. Egberts said it was the hospital’s original hope to reduce rather then eliminate outpatient physiotherapy services. Some hospitals in Ontario have done away with the service all together as there is no provincial standard for hospitals to follow. “We're confident this move will not have a significant impact on care,” Egberts said. “This is a tough move, but the right move.” The outpatient physiotherapy services at QHC are used by patients referred from specialists, such as orthopaedic surgeons or physiatrists; patients with new fractures; or patients continuing their physiotherapy following an inpatient stay. Patients with hip and knee replacements would continue to receive physiotherapy services from the Community Care Access Centre. Currently, patients receive an average of nine physiotherapy sessions at QHC and changes will not impact any inpatient physiotherapy services, the Children’s Treatment Centre or the Rehabilitation Day Hospital.

province have scaled back or eliminated all together their involvement in extra curricular activities including after school athletics and clubs. Trustee David Patterson, the chair of the subcommittee in charge of drafting the Bill 115 response letter, said the message comes amid a very interesting political climate. “The letter speaks to the importance of engaging school boards in a discussion on how to resolve issues that relate to the labour relations framework and the province,” Patterson said. While at first blush the letter may look out of date considering the recent ac-

In this detailed audit of financial services and human resources, the Ministry praised the local board and sent along a specific recommendation that the effective board hiring practices be put into board policy. With this in mind, the board is struggling with the reasoning behind the ,ministry adding significant weight to the seniority component in the hiring of longterm occasional and permanent educating staff. In its letter, the board calls on the province to rescind the regulation or, failing that, recommends a broad based consultation be carried out by the Ministry with representatives from interested school boards as soon as possible. “Our school board has a sound, fair and transparent hiring practice in place,” McGall said. “The regulation introduces an element of seniority as a component in hiring in school boards that's not a practice that we've been involved in.” “Every hire is an important hire and, as a school board, trustees believe they should have the maximum freedom to have the broadest candidates apply without restriction. The regulation brings in restrictions,” he added.

National reorganization could mean that Prince Edward County is swallowed up in consolidation with larger regions

Local MS Society members express concern their chapter could face merger Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

As the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada continues its organization-wide review and reorganization of operations, members of the Prince Edward County chapter are concerned about what it could mean for the charity locally. While the national MS Society says stakeholder input during the third phase will help shape the final recommendations, some members of the Prince Edward County MS chapter aren't holding out much hope that things will be able to continue as they were. Prince Edward County MS chapter chair Dorothy Benbow said the plan involves consolidating chapters into larger regional hubs, which she says could hurt the society's ability to provide services and raise funds locally. “We're not impressed. We go into something big and then we're the little guys who get left behind,” she said. “It doesn't work.” The process began last year and has been carried out in phases. Phases 1 and 2 involved consultation with hundreds of individuals and groups. The first

phase solicited views on the core issues facing the organization and ideal ways to deal with them. Phase 2 generated potential solutions to those issues. The third phase — which outlines a specific vision — was presented in June of this year. A report disseminated to MS Society members at a meeting in June details the proposed vision for the future of the society. The report says approximately 120 local chapters that exist across the country will be re-organized into 40–60 regional hubs, which will be governed by regional councils. These councils will provide direction on activities such as fundraising, research, education and advocacy. The structure includes a provision where written agreements will be signed with regional councils articulating their decision-making authority with respect to activities, and the agreement will include the ability to receive donations restricted for a specific purpose or geography. The MS Society will continue to have a network of officers around the country, but the network will be reduced in number and will

use less office space. Overall, there will be fewer senior management positions with a fewer number of staff taking on more responsibilities. Volunteers in cities and towns across the country will be supported by MS Society of Canada staff and leadership volunteers “to foster their active participation in advancing the MS cause,” the report says. Implementation of the plan is already slated for December. In response to the plan, Benbow said members of the local society have set up

a meeting to ask questions about the scenario and the impact it might have. The meeting is slated for Nov. 6 at 1:30 p.m. in Bloomfield United Church. Benbow said the local chapter has been performing well, despite being a small operation. “We're just a small chapter, but we do our share of what we have to do. When we come to give our money for research we give more than they require … then they tell us our fundraising isn't good enough,” she said. She said when the MS Society of Canada Bike Tour rolled through Prince Edward County, the local chapter was left in the dark, pointing to the situation as an example of bigger not always being better. “People are asking and we don't know a thing about it — it makes us like idiots,” she said. “We're just not happy about it at all.” Benbow said if the Prince Edward County chapter became part of a

larger hub, she doesn't believe the local society's clients would be taken care of the same. Local chapter treasurer Gail Ellsworth said she has been with the organization in excess of 25 years. She said the MS Society of Canada already holds the majority of the chapter's funds, but the local volunteers are allowed to control where the funds are spent. She said under the proposed structure the money would go into a larger pot where it won't necessarily be spent in the area. “This is the way we fund raise. Most people want to give, but they want to give knowing that the money is staying in the community … at the moment it is,” she said. “We think it's going to hurt our contributions in a small community like this. What they're telling us is

that what we're contributing isn't significant anyway.” She said although the contributions may not seem significant when compared to the national numbers, the local chapter runs through volunteers and doesn't incur any costs. “What they're proposing is they're paying staff. We don't want to contribute to staff when we have such a hard time to raise a little bit,” she said. “…They want to amalgamate now and we feel that our dollars are going to go toward paying staff in somebody else's chapter when people are giving us money to look after our own clients here.” The volunteers are hoping to get some of their concerns addressed at the November meeting. The meeting is open to the public.

A massive installation of an anticipated 45,000 solar panels along Black Road in Sophiasburgh has received approval from Ontario's Ministry of the Environment to proceed within the next three years. SunEdison can now begin work on the Class 3 solar facility, which will supply 10 MW of power directly to the Hydro One grid as part of the province's feed-in tariff program. Issued under the authority of Environmental Approvals Branch director Vic Shroter, the decision lays out conditions for the construction, operation, and decommissioning of the project. Among the conditions, SunEdison must comply with the ministry's noise emissions limits at all times and conduct an acoustic audit to determine the sound levels produced by the operation of the equipment to be installed on site.

It also must prepare a traffic management plan for Prince Edward County and enter into a roads users agreement with the municipality. The decision also requires the company to monitor groundwater impacts for a minimum of two years, manage storm water and erosion, not take on more than 50,000 litres of water on any day during or after construction, and operate a spill containment facility for the transformer. Some aesthetic buffers will also be required and SunEdison will be responsible for rehabilitating the land after construction, removing the equipment should the project cease to exist, and restoring the land to its previous condition. A public consultation period took place from May 15 to June 14 this year and in its posting on the Environmental Registry, the ministry addressed concerns raised at that time. With respect to wildlife and habitat impacts, the ministry did note the location of the equipment will result in some lost habitat for two threatened species: Bobolink and Eastern Meadowlark. It noted SunEdison did conduct a

natural heritage assessment and it had applied for a permit under the Endangered Species Act to operate with conditions to benefit the species. Some concerns were expressed about locating such a facility on prime agricultural land, but the ministry indicated the Ontario Power Authority considered this land eligible. The report clearly detailed some of the work to be completed on the site to preserve the land. "Following construction, the site will be restored. The main objective will be to stabilize and reinstate vegetation within all areas disturbed by the project construction. Topsoil will be redistributed where required, followed by finished grading and landscaping to achieve proper drainage. Revegetation will include planting of native plants and hydroseeding where required. "Following the life of the project, the facility must be decommissioned and the site restored to its previous condition." With regard to visual impacts, SunEdison is committed to planting a native hedge or shrub, possibly red fear around the southern and western edges of the property to hide the chain link fence and blend the facility in with the rural environment. The ministry also noted the company would work with directly affected neighbours to offer a consultative landscaping service to install mutually agreeable features that would mitigate visual concerns. More information about the approval is located at www.ebr.gov.on.ca under the EBR registry number 011-6358.

Victoria Schoolhouse museum saw many changes during 2012 season

The summer of 2012 has been extremely successful for the Quinte Educational Museum and Archives on several fronts. We have been able this year, to employ Gabriele Cole as our Project Manager who worked with our summer student Camille Gray teaching visitors and elementary classes visiting about education in Pioneer Days. She incorporated many new and exciting activities into our programmes which allowed students to experience a wide facet of Pioneer Life. Cole also worked in partnership with the Ameliasburgh Museum and the County of Prince Edward Museums, in providing activities for summer day camp students. We are continuing to partner with the County museums to provide programming for students in Picton in November with curriculum based lessons presented in an historical context. Gray worked in the schoolhouse creating displays, meeting visitors and working with children who visited with their parents. Partnerships have played a huge role in our summer experience. We hope to continue to work with the museums of the county to provide interesting, fun and educational experiences for students and visitors in the area. Membership in the Quinte Educational Museum and Archives is slowly growing. We hope to make our goal of 102 members by the gala, Nov. 3. We currently boast a membership of 79 with 10 life members. If you are interested in supporting our museum, please contact Louise Sallans.

tured events, crafts, displays and music from different decades during which the schoolhouse was active. In August, with the research of Gray, the schoolhouse featured displays from the 1940s, including photos and awards from QEMA's Archives. The schoolhouse pushed the creativity and inquisitive nature of our young visitors, offering mini classes that involved punishments from the 1800s. Kids of all ages were mesmerized by the strap and took turns sitting in the dunce cap after purposefully answering questions wrong. The museum engaged these young minds further by giving embroidery lessons. The interest and demand was so positive that the schoolhouse will now be offering drop-in classes every Thursday and Saturday during our 2013 season. Keep an eye out for the launch of our new day camps and drop in classes to be announced on our website and Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ qema1978. The museum is offering amazing and inventive full day camps that include dinosaurs, zombies, storytelling and Pioneer crafts.

Over the 2012 season at QEMA's Victoria Schoolhouse, the museum saw many new changes. Our new headmistress and project manager, Gabriele Cole, introduced “Golden rule days,” a program that fea-

It’s Victorian Gala time. Saturday, Nov. 3 at 5:30 p.m. is the date for our sixth annual major fundraising event at the Restaurant On The Knoll at West Lake. More than 100 guests are expected to enjoy the

evening partaking in a delicious buffet, bidding on unique silent auction items and giving the nod to Manson and Lori Slik in a highly entertaining live auction. Throughout the evening Penny, Roanna and John Kitchen will delight us with their talents. The winner of $1,000 will be contacted at 9 p.m. when the lucky raffle ticket is drawn. What a grand night it will be! Get your Victorian Gala tickets now by phoning Kathy Reed at 613-3933115 to reserve your spot. QEMA experienced a most ambitious summer calendar of events which included four Saturday Treats, Treasures & Crafts shows held at The Bloomfield Town Hall. We wish to thank those wonderful crafters who displayed and sold their creations to a bustling crowd of shoppers on some hot, steamy days. This busy venue provided us the opportunity to speak about QEMA?s mission with visitors and showcase our prints of Drop The Hankie and distribute brochures of The Victoria Schoolhouse, Educational Museum and Archives in Ameliasburgh. Five music nights at the Wellington Town Hall with local musicians and visiting groups proved to be most popular and highly entertaining. QEMA thanks Gord Sirot and Terry Spilchen for partnering with us to provide an exciting roster of talent over the summer which benefitted programming for children at The Victoria Schoolhouse. To those who attended, we extend to you our heartfelt thanks for donating so generously, buying raffle tickets for $1,000. to be drawn on Nov. 3 and buying our prints and cards. QEMA was most pleased to be asked to assist the Prince Edward Historical Society in the planning and organization of The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebration in June.

Sandy Latchford, the head of the committee, along with partners from our libraries and museums created an absolutely brilliant day with a host of dignitaries, musical guests, royal memorabilia displays and an evening dance with Drew Ackerman and Little Bluff. Look forward to future

events sponsored by QEMA and other local groups. Rockin’ at The Essroc Arena with The Fade Kings was just another example of great partnering in support of local Prince Edward County museums and libraries. We extend congratulations to The Fade Kings

who celebrated their 20th anniversary and thank them for a wonderful night of dancing with fantastic music and superb vocals. Many thanks to those who attended participated in the silent auction and recognized the importance of supporting local culture.

Following his cross Canada tour with Tommy Hunter this past year, Piticco is constantly in demand on the music circuit and we feel most fortunate to land him for a concert right here in Picton.

Seating is limited, so people are encouraged to come early.

Including Saturday’s fatal accident that killed cyclist John Fox in Bloomfield, there have been six fatal vehicular accidents on eastern Ontario roads and trails since Oct. 12. The OPP says that statistic highlights a disturbing trend in this part of the province as the number of fatal crashes in 2012 is eight higher than it was in 2011, increasing from 40 to 48 and the number of deceased from those traffic collisions has risen from 44 last year to 59 this year. Police are cautioning the general public that many of those collisions and the ensuing deaths were preventable and are calling on drivers, ATV and marine operators to be more alert when traveling. “Needless death and serious injuries affect everyone,” said Inspector Dave Springer, the East Region traffic and marine manager. “Paying attention and driving within the boundaries of the law are good ways to stay safe.” Earlier this month, two vehicular accidents in Leeds Township resulted in the deaths of two women, aged 70 and 28 respectively; a head-on collision on roads patrolled by the Stormont-Dundas and Glengarry OPP left a 22-year-old driver dead; and on Hwy 17 in the upper Ottawa Valley a tractor trailer hit a pick-up truck stopped at a stop sign leaving the driver of the pick-up dead; and in Central Hastings the driver of an ATV was thrown from his mount. He succumbed to his injuries at the scene. -Staff

Fall landscaping tips for the home seller

Much like the start of a new year, the fall season ushers in the promise of new experiences and fresh starts. Students head back to school, adults resume regular working hours and the real estate market tends to experience an upswing in activity. “Autumn is a special time with its wonderful colours and warm days, and it’s also a great time for both buying and selling a home,” says Ron Abraham, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association. “Home sellers can increase the saleability of their home by simply sprucing up their landscaping, while buyers can get a good glimpse into the exterior of their future home. It’s not uncommon for a homebuyer to fall in love

with a home simply because of its beautiful garden.” Homeowners planning to sell in the spring, should still be thinking about their landscaping in the fall, says Abraham. “By taking the time now to prepare your yard for the winter, you’ll be giving it what it needs to come back strong and save yourself a great deal of time in the spring. You’ll also be that much more prepared when the time to sell comes.” To help create curb appeal this fall and beyond, Abraham recommends these simple landscaping tips to homeowners: Rake up the leaves: you want your home, inside and out, to appear as clean and de-cluttered as possible when presenting it for

sale. Start by raking up the leaves in your front and back yards, and cleaning up any debris, weeds and dead vegetation from your summer garden. Plant away: this is a great time to plant trees and shrubs, but if you’d like to see daffodils and tulips in your garden next spring, now is also the time to plant spring bulbs. Add a boost of colour: fall bloomers like mums and pansies add a wonderful colour boost to gardens and give open house visitors a warm welcome. Protect your garden: help keep certain trees and shrubs protected from the winter elements by wrapping them with burlap. This will ensure they look as beautiful next

Pirates blow out Napanee before falling in Campbellford Sizer leads ninegoal outburst with hat trick Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

The Picton Pirates suffered their first regulation loss this week at the hands of the Campbellford Rebels in the second game of a backto-back set on Friday. The team was riding high after a blowout 9–2 victory over the Napanee Raiders on Thursday, but were unable to carry the momentum over in a 4–2 loss to Campbellford Friday night. Overall, Pirates coach and general manager Ryan Woodward said he was happy with the team's play this week. “The group is confident and it's a positive dressing room. I know we have a long way to go, we have a lot of players in their first year of Junior hockey — they're learning every single day,” he said. “We feel this group has a lot to work on, but a lot to be proud of so far.” The Pirates were hungry right out of the gate on Thursday, forechecking hard and forcing turnovers. Woodward attributed the start to some solid practice this week. “We wanted to get off to a good start, we wanted to establish ourselves early in the game,” he said. “The guys had a good week of practice, they were sharp

and executing and it carried over into the first period.” The first goal of the game came on a turnover at the Raiders blue line. With Napanee on the power play Devin McCann forced the defence to give up the puck before sending a flukey shot past goalie Kyle Copeland that appeared to dip past the puckstopper's glove before finding the top corner. It was McCann's

first Junior marker. The shorthanded goal came just 1:13 into the period and seemed to ignite the Pirates bench. Just over two minutes later Ryan Sizer fired a nice wrist shot past Copeland to put Picton up by two. Sizer added another after receiving a beautiful feed from Jack Davison in the goalmouth for a tap in. Just under a minute later Mitchell Smith made it 4–0

when he stole the puck at the Raiders blue line before rushing in on Copeland and sliding one through the wickets. It was the Pirates' second shorthanded marker of the period. That was all for Copeland as goaltender Mike Brogee came in in relief. However, the Pirates continued to take advantage of some lacklustre play on behalf of the Raiders.

Just two minutes after Copeland was pulled, Kyle Dekeyser finished a check before gliding out into the slot and receiving a Geoff Cleminson pass from the corner. Dekeyser picked up the pass and fired it by Brogee to make it 5–0. Sizer made it 6–0 and completed his hat trick on a rocket slap shot past the Raiders goaltender. Davison had his third assist of the night on the goal.

Woodward said it was important for the players to keep their focus after the big period. “The guys came out flying and some pucks were going to the back of the net. The guys did a good job of putting together a pretty solid 60 minutes,” he said. Riley Main added a goal early in the second to make it 7–0. It was his first Junior goal. Napanee finally got on the board with 40 seconds remaining in the second period with Donny Emmons getting the goal. Evan Brown had the second Napanee goal midway through the third, but Davison would bookend the tally with markers early and late in the period, giving the forward five points on the night. Woodward said it was good to see the club rewarded after generating lots of chances in the last few games. The Pirates scored six goals on 14 shots in the first. Although they started the game aggressively, the team wasn't able to match Thursday's performance on Friday. The teams traded chances and Woodward said Rebels goalie Cole Mahoney made some key stops on a two-man early in the first period. That penalty kill allowed Campbellford to pick up some steam and Seamus McDougall was able to capitalize, scoring 11:28 into the first.

After a tough test from the visiting Moira Trojans, the PECI Senior Boys Soccer club were on to the Bay of Quinte semifinal Wednesday evening. The Panthers got a pair of goals in the second half Monday afternoon, blanking the Trojans 2-0 and coach Paul Pickard agreed the contest was a solid test for the number one seeded Panthers. “Moira has a solid pair of defenders that closed the middle down on us for the entire game,” Pickard said afterwards. “It was good in the sense that we were forced to move the ball to the outside of the field and take advantage of their weaker areas. After a scoreless first half, it was Corey Prince

who gained time in space neat the Trojan area before lifting a perfect cross crease pass to a streaking Scott McQuaid about half way through the second. Up 1-0 and being forced to press, PECI took advantage of a pinching Moira offence and pressed a sustained skirmish in the Trojan area about five minutes after the McQuaid strike Moira was able to kill off the pressure initially, but PECI gained a corner kick. McQuaid booted a high arcing ball to the far post where Panther veteran Damian Wadforth was able to direct the ball past the Moira keeper for an allimportant insurance goal. PECI's defensive corps are led by third year senior Brad Reid and the backline kept Moira at bay for the remainder of the contest in

which Panther keeper Matt Gallo submitted a clean sheet. “The defenders on our team continue to be able to stop attacks from all angles.” Pickard said. “They are relentless in their efforts to control the flow of play in our end.” PECI was due to play tSt. Paul's at PECI yesterday afternoon after press time in the semi finals. IF PECI wins, they would play in the Bay of Quinte final Tuesday. PECI capped off their regular season last week with an 8-0 whitewash of Trenton. Jared Found (two) Bryce Van Grootheest, Reid, Shayne Inch, Dallas Hunter, Wadforth and Gallo all scored in the lopsided affair.

The PECI Senior Basketball Panthers can now cross one of their main objectives off this seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to-do list. With back-to-back wins over Nicholson and Moira early this week, the Panthers guaranteed they would be among the top three finishers in the Bay of Quinte Conferenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top tier, meaning they will host a home playoff game. Should the Panthers manage to upset the unbeaten St. Theresa Titans Tuesday, they could also leapfrog Moira to take second place and a firstround bye. On Tuesday at home, the Panthers came out very determined to beat Moira, who had defeated them in their past six contests dating back to last season. It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go well early as

the Trojans went on an 8-0 run in the first three minutes, however the Panthers would battle back to take a 43-37 triumph. Coach Rob Garden said his team didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let the early deficit faze them at all. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The girls have become very resilient and they know that runs happen in basketball,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They battled back to lead 22-21 at the half.â&#x20AC;? Through a see-saw third, the Panthers didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look back as they worked to gain the last shot and a fragile twopoint lead going into the fourth. Garden said the team ran a quick inbounds play to increase the score to 35-30 and they kept the pressure up throughout the quarter. A win by 10 points or more would have given the Panthers the second-place tiebreaker over Moira, but with a 35-per-cent free throw percentage on 20 attempts , the Panthers settled for the six-point win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nonetheless, it was a great confidence boost for us,â&#x20AC;? said Garden. Courtney Wilson led the Panthers with 22 points, while Alyssa VanRossum contributed eight. Monday proved to be a tight challenge from a Nicholson club the Panthers beat handily earlier in the season. After playing even for the first quarter, PECI pulled ahead in the Providence Gymnasium and never trailed on its way to a 31-20 victory. In addition to simply being a much-improved team, Nicholson threw a defensive structure at the Panthers they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t anticipating. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They did a lot of different things on the defensive end and it gave us fits,â&#x20AC;? said Garden, as he described a triangle-and-two system, where three defenders play a zone and two others play a more aggressive man-toman system. It was designed to limit the chances Wilson and point guard Erin Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien had to create offensive chances. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was the first time Courtney and Erin faced that individual attention. They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how to get free and we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how to free them up,â&#x20AC;? Garden said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to make adjustments on the fly.â&#x20AC;?

He moved to Prince Edward County in 1953 and began barbering at the Globe Bowl-O-Drome. Not long afterwards, Sibthorpe became involved in boat racing. He helped start the Picton Outboard Racing Club, organizing and timing races. But he also had his own boat, and raced from 1958 to 1968 in the county, and also in Upper New York State and Lakeland, Florida.

In 1960, he organized water ski shows in the Picton Harbour, and won a 35mile race from Waupoos to Picton. He is best known for his work with the Gold Cup

races from 1972 to 1992. He worked with Jack Lyons, Al Lytle, Ron Denard, Jack Wells, John B. Cole and others to revive motor boat racing in the county. In 1977, he helped introduce Grand Prix Power Boat Racing to Mexico, along with a strong contingent of helpers from the county. In 1968, he helped clear the land and organize the McCauley Mountain Ski Club in Picton. He maintained his barber shop, the nerve centre of the Gold Cup races, on Main Street for almost 40 years.

As a member of the Belleville McFarlands, Keith won the world championship of hockey in 1959

He won the Eastern Ontario Intermediate C championship with the Bloomfield Silver Ribbons. In 1954, he played third base for the Belleville Batas, winning the Ontario Baseball Championship. Always a fierce competitor, Keith MacDonald was a valued member of every team he played for, and an important member of the community in Prince Edward County.

He played for several other professional teams before retiring in 1952. Mulholland was also an outstanding softball and baseball player, and was invited to attend the Brooklyn Dodger camp in Vero Beach in 1949. He led many Kingston teams-Ponies, Athletics, Locos, Alcans, Optimists, to name a few, to titles at the Cricket Field and at McGaffin Stadium. In 1953 he moved to Prince Edward County, and continued playing and coaching the sports he loved best. He also trained and drove harness racing horses for years at all of the major tracks in Ontario.

record for Class B racing hydroplanes. The boat was owned by Don Channel. Chief mechanic was Bill Wannamaker, assisted by Mark Wannamaker and Jim Smith. Thompson was also

the American national champion for B-Hydro boats in 1972, the only Canadian on the list of 40 categories. He established a “straightaway speed record” over a mile course in 1972 with a speed of 85.709 miles per hour. Thompson won the Canadian National High Point Title in 1962 and 1963, and held the title for five straight years from 1970 to 1974. In 1977, he won the American Power Boat Association Championship in Hinton, West Virginia. With that victory, he established himself as the North American champion.

Douglas J. Thompson

Born in Picton on Sept. 4, 1936, Doug Thompson began racing boats in a serious manner when he was 19 years old. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Thompson powered his 350cc “B-Racing” hydroplane boat to many victories in North America, establishing speed records which have yet to be broken. In 1972 in Valleyfield, Quebec, he set a Canadian record on a five-mile circuit with an average speed of 69.189 miles per hour to win the Schenley Gold Medal Award. Two weeks later in Dupuis, Illinois, he broke the North American

RYCKMAN - In loving memory of Martha Ryckman who passed away October 24, 2010. We cried the day you passed away, and still we cry today. Although we loved you dearly, we couldn't make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove, he only takes the best. Sadly missed by son Michael and wife Christine. RYCKMAN - In loving memory of Martha Ryckman who passed away October 24, 2010. When tomorrow starts without you, I try to understand, That an angel came and called your name, And took you by the hand. When tomorrow starts without you, Don't think we're far apart, For everytime I think of you, You're right here in my heart. Remembering Always, sadly missed by grandson Gage

ISENOR - Evan

In loving memory of Evan, a loving husband, father, papa and a great papa who passed away October 26, 2011. Words can’t explain how much we miss you. I don’t think you ever could imagine how much pain I would be in once you were gone... because if you had you wouldn’t have left me. Words cannot express the amount of emotions that have come with trying to let you go, Every day has been a struggle. It’s been a year and it’s still hard for me to grasp that you are really gone. Sometimes still, I don’t know what to do with myself. There have been days that I haven’t wanted to get out of bed, And days that if I allowed myself, I could cry and cry and cry. A a year later and I still sit and stare at your picture, I miss you so bad and always will. Till we’re together again, Your ever-loving wife, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

David Ronald Taylor

June 9, 1936-Oct 24, 2007 Beloved son of the late Louis & Maud Taylor, lovingly remembered by your family, Patricia Calnan, our sons Michael & James Calnan, grandchildren Reilly and Hannah Calnan.

WEEKS, Olive. In loving memory of a dear mother, Olive Weeks, who passed away October 28th, 2008. If I could have a life time wish And a dream that could come true, I would pray to God will all my heart, Just to see and speak with you. A thousand words won't bring you back, I know because I've tried, And neither will a million tears, I know because I've cried. You've left behind my broken heart And precious memories too, I cherish all these memories But I'm sure missing you. Your loving daugther, Barb

Small rink in Campbellford requires adjustments

PIRATES, from page 26

Four Prince Edward County figure skaters recently attended the AutumnSkate Invitational in Ottawa and had a successful competition. From left, Trennt Michaud took the Gold in Novice Men. Sydney Vanderveen hit her stride with a bronze-medal finish in Novice women, . Madeline Patenall placed a respectable fifth of 13 in Juvenile B women and Elena Koningstruck gold in Jr. bronze women. All skaters are members of the Prince Edward Skating Club and are coached by Lisa Conley.. (Submitted photo)

The second period proved to be no better for the Pirates, with Chris Klompmaker making it 2–0 at 13:23 and the Rebels took the two-goal lead into the final frame. Although the schedule has the club playing backto-back games frequently this season, Woodward said the team isn't making any excuses. “We came to Campbellford ready to play, we had some opportunities early in the game and we weren't able to capitalize,” he said. “Campbellford is a tough rink to play in, it's much smaller than any other rink we play in and it's something the guys have to get used to.” The Pirates looked to battle back in the third and, briefly, it looked like they would. Cole Bolton converted on a two-on-one with Smith to narrow the gap at 7:14 of the final

frame. But the Rebels responded quickly. Hunter Fargey restored the two-goal lead 39 seconds later and made it 4–1 on a power-play goal at 12:43. With the goalie pulled for an extra attacker Davison added a power-play goal for the Pirates, but with just over three minutes remaining the team was unable to muster a comeback. “The execution wasn't there, the effort was. Their goaltender made some big saves early,” Woodward said. Woodward said the team has to focus on eliminating some of the mental mistakes and undisciplined play that hindered them on Friday The Pirates next face Napanee tonight at 7:30 in Picton before facing Amherstview on the road on Sunday night at 7:30.

With the aging of the population there are more and more seniors with mobility limitations. These people often purchase what the Ontario Ministry of Transportation calls a personal mobility device, also including a motorized wheelchair or a medical scooter. According to the ministryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s web site these devices do not require registration, licence plates, driver's licence or vehicle insurance. Persons operating motorized wheelchairs are treated in the same way as pedestrians. The web site goes on to say that wheelchairs (including medical scooters) can be driven by muscular power or other types of power, and are designed for and used by people whose mobility is limited by one or more conditions or functional impairments. In general, municipalities can establish by-laws for where wheelchairs (and medical scooters) can or cannot be used. A search of the web site for the Corporation of the County of Prince Edward did not bring up any information on the operation of wheelchairs or medical scooters. A sidewalk should be the first choice for someone using a wheelchair or medical scooter. When there is no wheelchair accessible curb, the person should return to the sidewalk at the first available opportunity. If there is no sidewalk

INFOâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;FOR SENIORS

DEBBIE MACDONALD MOYNES

available, people using wheelchairs or personal mobility devices should travel, like pedestrians, along the left shoulder of the roadway facing oncoming traffic, according to the MOT web site. There are no Canadian rules or regulations covering motorized wheelchairs or medical scooters. Some of these devices can reach speeds of 15km/hour and there have been issues in some communities with seniors having accidents, and even running into other pedestrians. Some vendors provide training while others apparently do not. A quick Google search brings up information from several provinces where there is consideration of regulating scooters

because of accidents and deaths of users. In the absence of training courses for those who use medical scooters it seems reasonable that people should get training from their vendor if possible. And then, when using the scooter, remember that you are considered to be a pedestrian. Use the sidewalk and go slow enough that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t run into or over other people. Make sure you can be seen. Think about wearing a reflective vest and putting a flag on your scooter. When crossing the road, use the sidewalk just like a pedestrian would, and be sure that the traffic stops before venturing out into the crosswalk. Use common sense and be careful so that you can maintain your mobility in a way that is safe for both you and those around you. The column next week will be on financial help to purchase a medical scooter.

RURAL ROUTE REASSURANCE PROGRAM

In partnership with Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, Prince Edward Community Care can arrange for your mail courier en route to keep a watchful eye on your home to help keep you safe. This service is free, offering added safety and security to those living in rural

areas. To participate in this service, call Community Care at 613-476-7493.

TAI CHI

Prince Edward Community Care for Seniors offers Tai Chi classes as a way to help seniors stay fit and flexible. Tai Chi is a lowimpact form of exercise, but it is also a weight bearing exercise, which is an important component of managing osteoporosis. Some of the benefits of Tai Chi are: better balance, which lowers the risk for falls, less pain and stiffness, stress relief and increased calmness and sense of well-being. And to top it off, it also helps to improve memory. No experience is necessary and all fitness levels are welcome. If you are a senior who would benefit from Tai Chi and would like to give it a try, please call the Prince Edward Community Care office at 613-476-7493 to register. Space is limited.

FRIENDLY VISITING

Seniors who are isolated and need some encouragement and support, can find it through Prince Edward Community Care. A friendly volunteer will be matched with the senior for visits in the home. To sign up for this program, or refer someone, call Community Care at 613-4767493.

Tigers snap Dukes’ unbeaten streak after four games

overtime loss of the season. For those counting, that's nine times in the last dozen games the Dukes have surrendered a goal inside the final minute of a period and that tally doesn't include empty netters. Dukes coach and general manager Marty Abrams said he's not sure why the club has had trouble playing strong until the buzzer. “We're not really sure,” Abrams said. “We've talked about it as a team and maybe there's a bit of let down, sometimes it can be a bit of inexperience with other factors but we've definitely talked about it and we are aware of it. Maybe we are too aware of it and that's causing us to tighten up, rather than play to the end of the period.” Up until the last second collapse, Abrams was happy with the Wellington

effort. “It was a very disheartening loss. I thought we deserved better in that game,” he said. Newcomer Colman Foisey tapped in Dominic Nitti's feed at the lip of the crease while Wellington was on the power play in the first to give the locals a 1-0 lead. That lead was doubled in the second when Parker Wood streaked across the top of the circle and caught Tiger starter Kevin Entmaa leaning the wrong way and put it glove side at 14:02. But the Wellington lead was carved in half by what else but a goal with 24 seconds left in the middle stanza as Daniel Lisi beat Lavigne from just inside the blueline, going five hole at

19:36. On Sunday, the club never seemed to be able to get on track as the Stouffville Spirit stifled Wellington 7-4. After the teams traded goals in the first to make it 2-2, Stoufville had all the scoring in the second as Dylan Savory had beat Wellington starter Matt LaRose twice to put the host squad up 4-2. Wellington would claw back in the third with Craig Campbell bagging his second of the game at 4:44 and Mike Soucier knotting it up at 11:55 only to watch the Spirit score three unanswered in the final seven minutes of the game to take it 7-4.

Three seconds. It's not even enough time to check your Blackberry for messages. But it was just enough time for the Aurora Tigers to ruin an undefeated streak and take a valuable point away from the Wellington Dukes on Saturday night. After the Dukes (8-1-7) had run their winning streak to four straight an evening prior on home ice with a 2-1 win over Cobourg, the local Jr.A squad was at the Aurora Community Centre Saturday looking to avenge a last minute loss on September 29th when Wellington surrendered a last minute goal en route to a 5-3 setback. The Dukes looked to be in fine form with under 15 seconds left in the, leading 2-1 with a defensive zone draw scrummed to the half boards to the right of Dukes netminder Hayden Lavigne. But the Dukes were unable to match the intense board play of the Tigers and with just a handful of seconds remaining, Aurora's Kory Kennedy was able to feed linemate Robert Angiolella in front of the Wellington net. Angiolella made no mistake, ripping the puck past Lavigne with three seconds left to tie the game 2-2. With Wellington stunned at the last second turn of events, it shouldn't be a shocker that Aurora capped off the comeback as Daniel Clairmount sent a seeing eye shot through Lavigne just 1:15 into overtime to hand Wellington its first

AE, bantam BB/B, and midget BB/B levels and more than 450 players and coaches will be involved.

ATOM AES WIN THREE

The Atom AE Ainsworth Funeral Home Kings managed to sweep their three games this past weekend, utilizing solid goaltending in the process. On Thursday evening, the Kings hosted Stirling in Wellington and beat up on the Blues 8-2. Hayden Evans was solid in the Kings net. One night later, the Kings travelled to Baltimore and handed the netminding duties over to Noah Tripp-

McDonald. Tripp-McDonald and Kings took a big bite out of the Ice Dogs, dumping their hosts 7-2. Jackson Fox tallied a pair for the Kings while Nolan Steen, Wyatt Slade, Cole Lavender and Wyatt Fairman had one goal, one assist games. Brady Lane also scored a goal while Griffin McFaul, Ryan Cunningham and Ford Facette-Grondin had assists. On Sunday, the Kings finished of their weekend in style, blanking the Port Hope Phantoms 3-0. Fox had all three goals for the Kings while Evans posted the first shutout of the season for the Kings. Cunningham had two assists.

ATOMS UNBEATEN

The Greer Excavating Atom Kings are undefeated through three games in their OMHA season. After opening the season with an 18-1 laugher over

Frontenac, the Kings hosted Bancroft Saturday in Picton and downed the Jets 2-0. Dillon Percy and Nick Kirby handled the Kings scoring while Nic McGrayne posted his first shutout of the young season. On Sunday, the locals were in Port Hope and earned a 3-3 draw to the Phantoms. Max Lindsay had two goals and a helper while Connor Verhoog bagged the other Kings goal. Kirby factored in on all three Kings goals. It should be noted the Kings got their hockey season off on the right foot earlier this month, winning the Gananoque preseason warm up tournament Oct. 6. The Kings went undefeated, downing Jefferson, New York 3-0 in game one, Brockville 2-1 in game two and the host Islanders 2-1 in the final. McGrayne only allowed two goals in three games while Kirby had four points to lead the scoring.

Disciplined approach will be key to play with Trenton

DUKES, from page 25

Wellington had their chances but only managed one goal in a dozen powerplay opportunities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wasn't as bad as the score indicated,â&#x20AC;? Abrams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We held much of the play, but Stouffville got a couple of goal that were kind of flukey and when give up goals that shouldn't go in, it's a lot harder to battle back especially when you are a .500 team.â&#x20AC;? Rounding out the Dukes scoring, Wood got his second goal in as many games. Wellington's only win on the weekend came Friday when they shaded the floundering Cobourg Cougars 2-1. Scoreless through two periods of play, Wellington made sure the Cougars would leave Essroc Arena still search of their first regulation win of the season thanks to goals by Campbell at 7:54 and Jan Kaminsky at 12:06 of the third. Dylan Goddard cut into the Wellington lead at 15:18 but the lone Cougar marker was the only blemish on an outstanding effort from LaRose. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a well played game,â&#x20AC;? Abrams said of the win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The goaltending was good on both sides, I just think was capitalized on a couple of turnovers in third period and that was enough.â&#x20AC;? LaRose made 33 saves

overall and gave Wellington good goaltending until they could get the offence in gear in the third period. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was great and that's the type of goaltending you need in this league to be successful,â&#x20AC;? he said. Wellington will get their first taste of the Duncan MacDonald Memorial Gardens on Friday night as they take on the first place Trenton Golden Hawks. Abrams said the local club can't compete with Trenton's depth and firepower head-to-head so the game plan will be to maintain discipline, utilize the power play and stay with the Hawks as long as they can. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Trenton rink has a great atmosphere and we've had success there before. Hopefully we can rise to the occasion,â&#x20AC;? Abrams said. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Round the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Roc: Injuries are starting to hamper the squad. Cam Nicholl broke his finger blocking a shot this weekend and will be out two-to-four weeks. Zach Bishop will be out the next two weeks as he recovers from a hip flexor injury...Mike Soucier was the lone Wellington Duke selected to attend the Team Canada East selection camp at the end of the month in Toronto.

Last-minute shot ties bronze-medal game

PANTHERS, from page 26

One of the most logical adjustments to contend with such a strategy would be finding offence from other contributors. Alyssa VanRossum and Emily Clark each managed to post seven points, while Wilson still managed nine. “We talked at the half. If they are putting that much pressure on two girls, that does leave three available to score,” said Garden, who added the Panthers are still trying to get all of 10 of their players to be confident in their ability to attack, score, and carry some of the load. Coming into this week’s league play, the Panthers had a successful tournament in Belleville, posting a 2-1-1 record as they fell to Moira 4228, beat Nicholson 33-22, and St. Mike’s 46-22, and tied the bronze medal game with their nemesis the Rideau Lions. During the bronze-medal game, the Panthers battled back against Rideau’s stingy zone, trailing most of the game. With 25 seconds to go, the Panthers were behind by five

points. Brittany Snider scored on a set play off the inbound to bring the team within three, then with five seconds left O’Brien stole the ball from a Lions guard, dribbled up court and pulled up short of the three point line, finding the basket as the buzzer sounded. “It was one of the biggest shots I’ve witnessed in high school basketball,” said Garden, adding both teams

agreed to leave the game tied. “I told the girls when you work hard and do the right things, you get rewarded.” Garden said O’Brien spends two hours in the gym each week shooting and the clutch shot is an example her efforts are paying off. The Panthers travel to Lindsay this weekend to play a tournament at I.E. Weldon, home of a perennial OFSAA challenger.

ary School Blue Dragons in Brighton 3-2. PECI got goals from Blaine Swackhammer and Braden Bennett and even managed a shot from in close in the dying moments that beat the ENSS keeper but not the post. Although the junior club didn't post a winning record in the regular season for the first time in recent

memory, PECI coach Paul Pickard said he was happy with the club's efforts in the elimination game. He also mentioned Panther keeper Keith Petrasek was outstanding. “Although it was a disappointing season on the score board, we played all of our games with heart and look forward to next year,” Pickard said.

Invader The brown marmorated stink bug entered

the United States about 15 years ago and Ontario’s agriculture ministry is worried that it may spread to various crops with disastrous effects. (Submitted photo)

SANDY GORANSON

OMAFRA has put out an alert on the brown marmorated stink bugs or BMSB. This bug entered the USA about 15 years ago and is now resident in more than 33 states. One was found in Southern Ontario in 2010. From OMAFRA’s perspective the most serious threat BMSB pose are to crops. They damage a wide variety of crops and can move from crop to crop during the season. They threaten everything from nut and fruit bearing trees to small fruit, including grapes, as well as many vegetables including corn, tomatoes, cucumbers and beans. From the home owners point of view these bugs can be a problem because they prefer to winter over in large numbers in buildings, including homes, as opposed to the occasional presence of the Canadian varieties of stink bugs. Because of their large numbers and unpleasant smell, when disturbed they can be a serious problem for retail establishments that house or feed people.

I was shocked to read in an e-mail that one was advised against vacuuming these bugs up as the smell could force one to discard the vacuum cleaner. Further research indicated that this smell went away over time and that vacuuming, preferably with a shop vacuum, was the preferred way of handling large infestations indoors. Using pesticides are contraindicated for indoor use for three reasons. In the first place no pesticide appears to work with the BMSB indoors beyond killing a few in the short term. In the second place dead and dying stink beetles in the cracks and crevices of houses encourage further infestations of other destructive bugs that like to eat stink bugs, and these bugs can cause serious problems such as the damaging of clothing. Finally and most importantly, regular use of pesticides indoors can damage the health of the inhabitants. Scientists are looking for effective pesticides to use with crops and have not been successful as yet with the

Winter is coming but appears to be in no hurry so we have some time to continue garden clean up this fall. Prepare to protect your more vulnerable perennials, shrubs and young trees by setting aside mulch to mound around them once the ground is frozen. The intent is to help the soil remain more consistently in a frozen state which protects the plant during the various winter thaws. In the particularly warm spell in March last year, when the soil thawed early and quickly, many plants reacted as if it was spring. As a result some were quite depleted when spring slowly arrived in April and May. Mulching would have at least slowed down the thawing process. Compost may be used as mulch for this purpose. OMAFRA (Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food, and Rural Affairs) wants your help in locating brown marmorated stink bugs.

swift development of resistance by the BMSB. Canada has now joined with the USA in trying to find adequate controls to keep BMSB out of both crops and homes preferably on a permanent basis. BMSB, Halyomorpha halys, came originally from Korea, Japan, China and Taiwan. While they may reproduce up to four times a year in Asia, they reproduce once a year in the colder states and are unlikely to reproduce more frequently in Canada. They are about 17 cm long as adults. They are a grayish brown in colour with a shield shaped back like the local stink bugs but they are larger. They have two white marks on their antenna and white markings on their legs. They lay their pale green eggs on the underside of leaves. Ontario’s first such stink bug was identified in an urban area in southern Ontario in June 2010. This bug was found in a home and could have come in on a shipment from somewhere else. BMSB, singly or in groups, are great hitch-hikers. Currently BMSB have been located in a number of homes in the Hamilton area in 2011 and 2012 but none as yet have been located in crops in Ontario. These bugs do not breed indoors but rather breed when they leave their winter quarters to look for food sources. Therefore these bugs are expected to be found in crops or gardens shortly. If they have been located in crops in your area or in your garden, to keep them from getting into your house you need to block up cracks with caulking, to repair screens and to remove window mounted air conditioners in the early fall. To prevent them from getting in as hitch-hikers may require extreme vigilance.

PUBLIC CAN HELP

Master Gardeners have been asked to pass on the OMAFRA alert to gardeners and others in their areas. If you do think you are seeing one or a number of BMSB please place them in a leak proof container and either add rubbing alcohol or freeze them to preserve them. Contact OMAFRA as soon as possible either by calling 1877-424-1300 or e-mail them at ag.info.omafra@ontario.ca. “Tracking distribution and spread is essential” in managing these bugs. Further information and pictures are easy to locate on the web. -To have your gardening questions answered, send an email to askamastergardener@xplornet.com Questions will be answered directly by e-mail and your question may appear in our weekly column..

The wins have yet to come on the scoreboard, but the PECI Junior Basketball Panthers have found plenty of moral victories of late. After working on their craft at a tournament in Belleville all weekend, the Panthers came out this week with two improved efforts, losing to the Nicholson Crusaders 29-19 on the road Monday, then the top-seeded Moira Trojans 48-34 at home Tuesday. That might not seem like much to cheer about, expect when one considers that most times the Panthers have faced the Crusaders this year, the margin of loss has been by 20 points or more. In their first meeting with Moira, the Panthers lost 64-16. At Nicholson, the Panthers had the game within four points several times, including at the end of the first quarter and actually outscored the Crusaders 7-4 during the third. Against Moira, PECI built a n early 7-6 lead before Moiraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pressure defence took over. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To hold a team like this to within four points at any point in the game, it shows our season has been successful in our development,â&#x20AC;? coach Andrew Wentworth said Monday. That night, it was Daniele Willis and Hannah Smith who led the way in the scoring department with eight and six points respectively. On Tuesday, Smith continued her strong pace from the previous dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second

Wentworth, who has decided to use his whole bench often this year to stress development of the entire team, said even some of his depth players are starting to show attributes that can help dictate future games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have three girls who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get as much playing time, but when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on the floor, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re grabbing loose balls, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re diving and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re proving they want to earn playing time with those aggressive habits.â&#x20AC;? That goes right along with the attitude the Panthers have been developing, which is to compete hard and to get excited about coming to practice and learning. Wentworth said that even as the team has struggled to compete, it has been a joy to coach the girls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We go into the change room and nobody is happy after a loss, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re able to sit down and realize what they have to do better for the next game.â&#x20AC;?
