CANADA’S OLDEST COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER

A number of inpatient beds and human healthcare resources at Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital could be on their way to Belleville General Hospital. Quinte Health Care’s Emergency Primary Care and Medicine & Critical Care programs are in the process of developing, based on data collected by the hospital corporation, a plan to move a number of beds from the 24 bed facility in Picton to the BGH site. The move comes a year after Prince Edward County physicians pledged, as part of QHC’s financial recovery plan, to provide inpatient care to Quinte’s orphan or unattached patients at PECMH. But a score of family physicians recruited and retained by the Friendly City over the past year coupled with an average 98

per cent occupancy rate at BGH has healthcare organizers are looking at rejigging QHC’s offering of general medicine beds at PECMH. A potential movement of beds comes as QHC is currently negotiating with the Ministry of Health and Long-term Care to add more beds to BGH as part of phase two of that hospitals redevelopment. QHC CEO and president Mary Clare Egberts maintains the moving of inpatient beds would not impact the type or quality of services available at PECMH and there would continue to be surge capacity for the high demand months. She also added the move may not be permanent. While PECMH currently has an occupancy rate of 88 per cent, Egberts said QHC will continue to constantly assess needs across all four sites. “In healthcare, there’s

ever-vigilant healthcare observers in Prince Edward County, local physicians and the Prince Edward Family Health Team are attempting to be diplomatic in the face of a possible bed exodus. According to a press release issued by the PEFHT, QHC is examining moving eight beds from

PECMH, a number Egberts wouldn’t confirm. County doctors have proposed to QHC senior management that four acute beds be relocated to BGH while some lower acuity beds move back to PECMH during a six month trial period. Dr. Josh Colby, Division Chief at PECMH said the County physicians are willing to try and help QHC and their over capacity issues at BGH in a reasonable way that won’t harm PECMH. “We’ve tried to table a reasonable solution that will allows everyone to look at the impact of moving the four beds,” Colby told the Gazette. “We know its in our best interest to make sure BGH is working well.” What concerns the County doctors is the potential loss of nursing manpower at PECMH. Ultimately the doctors believe, despite QHC’s insistence to the contrary, nursing hours will be cut back at PECMH.

■ Picton town council put out tenders for sewers and laterals on eight streets north of King Street not previously connected to the waste disposal system. Plans for the additions were already approved by the Ministry of Health. Bidders were to have until Jan. 29 to put in their proposals. ■A Jane Street resident was recovering slowly after she was rescued from her home, having been overcome with coal gas fumes. Her 14-year-old great nephew contacted police and his father when she didn’t answer at the door. The three men broke down the locked door and summoned medical help for her.

■ Prince Edward County Board of Education co-ordinator of special services J. Russell Williams told the Quinte United Empire Loyalists about a trip he took to the Soviet Union and its education system. He said schools there were open six days a week, year round, with teachers getting 42-day vacations at different points of the year. ■ Outlet Provincial Park was added to a list of places in this region where senior citizens would be able to obtain their free Ontario fishing permits. ■Gazette columnist Terry Sprague won a free year’s membership with Federation of Ontario Naturalists for signing up more new members (43) than anyone else in the province that year.

■ A projection from planner Malcolm Boyd suggested that Picton would need another 65 nursing home beds by 1990 to keep up with the expected aging population and the fact most of the existing homes were already operating at or near capacity on a regular basis. In studies undertaken for Picton’s town redevelopment plan, it was learned that the town’s male population is outnumbered by the female population with nearly 300 more females, about half of that coming in the over-65 age bracket. A spontaneous blaze at a Hillier welding shop caused about $5,000 in damages — the majority caused by water damage.

10 years ago — 2001

■ The County announced it had hired Dan Taylor as its economic development officer, hoping he could bring job opportunities to the county and help enhance the municipal tax base. ■Council’s corporate services committee discussed hiring an outside firm to study ways to restructure and downsize the amalgamated County council.

Awesome possums moving into the area Ken Ashton admits that he is fairly good at knowing what animal makes tracks in his backyard north of Trenton, but those that appeared one recent night had him scratching his head. Then, one afternoon, he spotted a Virginia opossum strolling from the edge of the woods to his bird feeder where it proceeded to forage on the spilled seeds on the ground beneath the feeder. It even allowed Ashton to take a photo which he forwarded to me in an e-mail. This is the second report of an opossum that has come to my attention this past year. Earlier last year, wildlife rehabilitator Sue Meech of the Sandy Pines Wildlife Centre in Napanee showed me an opossum that she had in her care. The animal she carried in her arms came from Peterborough, considerably north of southwestern Ontario where one usually expects to find these solitary and nomadic animals. Past sightings from anywhere east of Toronto have most always been shrugged off as simply unlucky opossums that had curled up on the framework of transports and woke up someplace else. Not necessary so, says Sue Meech. She knows of two opossum groups in Frankford, and one in Roblin. On top of which, the individual in her care is a juvenile, suggesting that it was born in Peterborough and not on a Kenworth hauling produce. She believes they are migrat-

ing to the rest of Ontario from the Southwest where they are common. Numerous road killed opossums can be seen along Highway 400, she says, and she has never really subscribed to the hitch hiker theory, although the 1994 Atlas of the Mammals of Ontario strongly suggests that this may have been the case with sightings as far north as Massey. Several sightings in the Bloomfield area in 1997, one of which was a rare albino, were thought to have arrived on one of the many Georgia and area transports that came occasionally to the old Cobie Foods Plant in that village. That they never really became established in Prince Edward County, and there have been no further sightings, suggest that these particular individuals did not arrive on their own volition. But is it just a matter of time as our winters are now much milder than they were

several decades ago, allowing these shy little creatures to survive despite the occasional individual coming through the winter with frost bitten ears and tails. The individual that I saw being cared for in Napanee certainly did not display the growling, hissing traits that popular legend purports them to show when approached by humans. And at no time did it hang by its tail from Sue's arm! Another myth that remains popular, although opossum young will occasionally do this. Their semi-prehensile tails are not strong enough to support a mature adult's weight. Instead, the opossum uses its tail as a brace and a fifth limb when climbing. The tail is occasionally used as a grip to carry bunches of leaves or bedding materials to the nest. That opossums are able to play dead is also a bit of a myth. At least, it is believed that opossums don't play dead intentionally. Rather, it is an involuntary physiological response, brought on by fear. The lips will be drawn back, teeth bared, saliva foams around the mouth, and a foul-smelling fluid is secreted from the anal glands. Their stiff, curled form can be prodded, turned over, and even carried away. The animal will regain consciousness after a period of minutes or hours and escape. As many predators will only eat live prey, it is a successful escape maneuver that has served the opossum well.

They are actually shy, gentle animals who rely on stealth and nocturnal lifestyles to minimize human encounters. There are more than 60 different species of opossum in the world, which are often called just plain possums. The most notable is the Virginia opossum — the only marsupial (pouched mammal) found in the United States and Canada. A female opossum gives birth to helpless young as tiny as honeybees. Babies immediately crawl into the mother's pouch, where they continue to develop. As they get larger, they will go in and out of the pouch and sometimes ride on the mother's back as she hunts for food. Opossums may give birth to as many as 20 babies in a litter, but fewer than half of them survive. So, keep your eyes open from now on at your bird feeders for these nocturnal creatures. They certainly seem to be increasing across Ontario and will provide an interesting addition to the nocturnal brigade to our feeders which now includes cottontail rabbits, flying squirrels, and a host of others that allow us to enjoy our feeders 24-7, instead of just in the daylight hours.

CRTC denies county radio application

Call the Gazette, 613-476-3201

Decision says proposed station would negatively effect others in area ADAMBRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

Radio listeners in Prince Edward County will not be able to tune their radio dials to a station focused on this market primarily. Much to the chagrin of the applicants behind a bid to start the station on the band 89.5 FM, the Canadian Radiotelevision, and Te l e c o m m u n i c a t i o n s Commission (CRTC) turned down the application Friday. In a two-page document issued by CRTC secretary general Robert. A Morin, the commission detailed its findings. Primarily, it appears the station’s potential impact on existing stations in the Belleville and Napanee markets were cause for the denial. The report states “The Commission notes that even though the applicant stated that it was proposing a first service for Prince Edward County, its technical parameters are such that it would serve a market already served by several stations located in Napanee and Belleville.” It continued that there is a “significant overlap”in the primary contours — basically the geographic area where a signal is at its strongest — and that the existing stations already have contours that cover large portions of the county geographically. Given that overlap, the decision also indicated that “the Commission considers that the introduction of a new station in Prince Edward County could have a considerable negative financial impact on stations already serving the market.” The decision baffled Debra McLaughlin, a Mississauga communications executive who is one of three principal partners in the group that had applied. “We’re disappointed and surprised,” she said Monday. “In order to deny, they had to ignore recent precedent and their existing policies.” McLaughlin said there have been several cases in recent years where there has been an overlap like the one in this market where the CRTC has sided in favour of setting up a first service in a community as a precedent. One example she cited was the granting of a licence to My FM in Napanee in 2006 when there were already stations in both the Belleville and Kingston market closer to that town than most of the stations in question are to parts of Prince Edward County. “It was the same configuration as Napanee,” she said, adding there’s really only one tower and one way of setting the station up technically under the category that was proposed. In making its decision, the CRTC received interventions both in support and against the application. The opposing interventions came from My Broadcasting Corporation (the owners of the Napanee station), and Starboard Communications Ltd. and Quinte Broadcasting Company, the operators of five stations in the Quinte market. Also , the Concerned Citizens of Prince Edward County opposed, citing concerns about a lack of local ownership, the location of

that broadcasting contour, and the format of programming being proposed — instead of the proposed commercial Adult Album Alternative format, they favoured more talk and local content. McLaughlin said her company’s research showed there were people in the county interested in both formats, and she also contested the concerns the ownership was not local. “Service is more indicative of station management than ownership,” she said, adding “I know the county, I’ve traveled there, I’ve shopped there, and I have friends there. People invited us to apply. We didn’t just show up...”

McLaughlin said her group had the support of several local organizations, the economic development office, MP Daryl Kramp, and MPP Leona Dombrowsky. She added she felt the company was open and accommodating in trying to answer the Concerned Citizens’ questions. McLaughlin added she was surprised that the more than 1,500 people who signed petitions and sent letters in support weren’t acknowledged more in the decision. She also said that sometimes with contentious applications, the CRTC provides a chance for a hearing into the interventions and in this case, they did not. Citing the decision as “still

very new,” McLaughlin said her partners have yet to decide if they will appeal or apply again, though several people have called and encouraged that in the past several days. She indicated the process leading up to October’s hearing and Friday’s ruling left her to believe one thing. “If nothing else comes out of this, I believe it has shown me that Prince Edward County could support — and would benefit from — its own radio station.” McLaughlin added she was appreciative of how generous county residents have been sharing their ideas, time, and support for the proposed station. In an e-mail informing supporters of the decision, Gary Mooney, the author of the Concerned Citizens’ intervention indicated he also thinks there’s potential for a radio station in Prince Edward County, but he’s hoping it will be a different kind of station than the one that was turned down. “This decision leaves the door open for county residents to propose a community radio station at some future date, along the lines of the station on Amherst Island,” he said. That station has existed as a non-for-profit, volunteer driven effort for the past three years. It broadcasts out of a converted milk barn and focuses on community information as well as promoting Canadian musical talent from no major recording labels.

OUR OPINION County physicians compromise more than reasonable

NEWS this week that Quinte Health Care may have plans to move hospital beds from Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital to Belleville General Hospital has rightly caused concern, especially given the notion that QHC is operating a hospital that values its four sites working together. Among the concerns cited for the possible move, QHC noted there has been a push from patients and physicians in Belleville that care should be received closer to home, particularly since Belleville now has more physicians than it did previously when the beds were left at the Picton site following proposals put forward by county physicians to deal with primary care needs of the broader community. When that shuffle was happening and people were basing their objections to the plan on geographic barriers, QHC talked a bout how people should be looking at the hospital on a regional basis with each of Trenton, Belleville, and Picton having its unique functions that could serve the broader catchment area. At that time, it was convenient since Picton had the extra physician capacity to use those services, but now it appears that since those beds could help with the demand for services closer to home in Belleville and its sky-high occupancy rate, the model may be rejigged for that specific purpose. That’s all fine if it helps take some pressure off of Belleville General to do the things it does best, but in the meantime, if it reduces the capacity of the Prince Edward Memorial Hospital to offer the services it offers and increases waiting times here, then one must wonder if the broader picture would be better served by moving the beds. Perhaps, as Dr. Josh Colby suggests, there are some services offered at Belleville General that could be altered to open up more beds if people could have their care finish within Picton or Trenton instead. The Prince Edward Family Health Team seems to be making a wise suggestion to QHC that the local hospital allow some beds to go to Belleville and taken on some other services to see what impact those moves have on the statistics without having a drastic impact on services. Indeed, it’s a risk given that there’s a chance those beds will leave the county and never come back — and that’s certainly a fear that has been expressed by councillors and others. The last time the Prince Edward County physicians were faced with the prospect of losing beds, they came up with a wonderful proposal that talked about the integrated primary services model they want to see here in the county. Since, the model has been championed by people like MP Leona Dombrowsky for being at the cutting edge of rural health care. Perhaps QHC and the general public should listen to themto see if there’s a chance to adopt a better model, rather than one that appears in demand.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

What has McGuinty done to reduce consumption? Dalton McGuinty and Brad Duguid promoted the smart meter as a cost savings to the people of Ontario. We all know this is not true. Our smart meter rates is taking food off our table. First of all, before the McGuinty meter came along we paid 6.4 cents a kilowatt for the first 1,000 kilowatts used during the winter months and if you went over that you paid 7.4 cents a kwh now on the McGuinty Meter we are charged 9.9 cents a kwh for eight hours of the day then 8.1 cents a kwh for six hours a day . Then at 9pm till 7 am when your sleeping we get charged 5.1 cents a kilowatt same with weekends and stat holidays what McGuinty has done here has implemented a way to generate higher revenue by people using hydro as he

knows people must cook, heat there homes ,run hot water, keep there fridge running and use television and lights. At the same time Ontarians are paying $87 billion to upgrade Hydro in which three years earlier McGuinty ripped up a plan that would of cost Ontarian's 60 billion dollars his delay cost the tax payers 27 billion dollars also Ontarians know his hydro experiment will not come in on budget with further costs added on McGuinty announces to Ontario Hydro will increase a further 46 per cent by 2015 a energy expert predicts by 2015 Ontarian's will be paying 21 cents a kwh also. McGuinty announces we will get a 10 per cent discount starting on Jan 1 2011 but he did not tell you starting Jan 1 2011 Distribution rates were

going up on average 3.5 per cent on your total bill and that the OEB recommends raising peak rates by three to five times higher than non peak times with Duguid’s support, which will mean when the OEB updates it new energy rates in the spring you can expect a outrageous price hike at peak price even though it is impossible not to use hydro during peak time ,just another money grab by McGuinty . Then, a week later Duguid tells Ontarians hydro rates will increase by 3.5 per cent annually for the next 20 years even though Duguid supports the OEB report the numbers just don’t add up to what Duguid is telling Ontario.. Just stop and think for a moment if hydro goes up to 21 cents a kwh by 2015 and were only five years

into McGuinty's 20-year plan and with 15 years left to go 27-30 cents a kwh or higher may not be out of the question. Could we not have accomplished conservation under the old infrastructure of hydro by McGuinty offering a clear set target and leadership on reduction — and if you met that goal you would get a discount on your hydro bill and if you failed to reach your goal you would get a small rate increase based on the percentage you missed by instead of Mcguinty signing 20 year contracts at 20 times the cost of nuclear and gas power ? One must ask what has Mcguinty done to reduce hydro consumption in provincial government buildings besides nothing. Ross Ayotte Smiths Falls

County needs strict bylaw regarding animal abuse It was interesting reading the article about the animal control bylaw. I myself was in that same situation just before the holidays. Yes, we can call over to Belleville, but who is to say that they will come to the county and rescue the animal in distress from the abuser? I did call and tried to ask what happened with a situation here in the county. No answer was forth coming from Belleville

ASPC. It is sad to see all these so-called animal lovers of cats and dogs, who when they are small how cute et cetera, but the bottom line is they do grow up. it is just like raising a child. If you are hurt and sick, you would seek help! The same is required if you are a true caring animal lover, to do the same for your cute four -legged pet. It is upsetting to see at this time

of year all the stray cats running at large; then when the wind is blowing harsh, dogs tied out with no shelter from the cold! Myself, I have two cats that are indoors. I still put out food for the strays that come to my door. That is my way of trying to make sure they survive this bitter time of year. For all the hard work of our local services for animals, I would like to

strongly urge our new council to see a way to help with strict laws for abused animals for their safety, from the cruel acts of their abusers. A stiff fine is not enough as to them, they will continue the abuse. Hope there are others that feel this strongly as i do, to write a message to our local council. Kathy Baker Picton

Library receives awards from provincial peers The County of Prince Edward Public Library and Archives will be recognized for three notable accomplishments at the upcoming 2011 Ontario Public Library Association Super Conference in Toronto. Representatives of the library and library board will be on hand to accept the awards. For the second time, the County’s Public Library & Archives has received the distinction of accreditation after having met the conditions necessary set forth by the Ontario Public Library Guidelines Monitoring and Accreditation Council. To earn a certificate of accreditation, a library undergoes an audit by its peers that considers 127 guideline points dealing with subjects ranging from policy to planning, resources and services. A score of 90 per cent is required to obtain accreditation. “We were very pleased to learn that we had met all the criteria required to be accredited,” said Library CEO Barbara Sweet. “As it can often happen that only the main branch of a library system receives accreditation, and our commitment is to have all branches included, it was especially good news to know we had achieved our goal and that all our branches received accreditation.” Sweet has also been recognized this past year as a graduate of the Advancing Public Library Leadership (APLL) Institute certificate program. This certification is designed to expand and advance the leadership capacity of public library CEOs and managers. Launched in the fall of 2008, the APLL program takes approximately two years to complete with participants performing independent course work in twelve key areas, complemented by highly interactive classroom sessions. The program provides extensive work in both organizational and municipal leadership. The third recognition for the library is being shared by Barbara Sweet and Archives manager Krista Richardson. They will receive the OLA Award for Archival and Preservation Achievement. Carolynn BartRiedstra, archives advisor at of the Archives Association of Ontario, put forth the nomination. “There were several years of negotiating with the historical society as well as building the municipal will to fund this project,” wrote Bart-Riedstra, who felt that it might not have happened had there not been strong direction and commitment to the project.

INSIDE THE LIBRARY CHRISTINE RENAUD

“It (archival material) could have been sent somewhere else where it was no longer accessible to the community or ended up inaccessible by being placed in storage. ” The Archives is an excellent example of a library and archives working together according to Bart-Riedstra. “It is an example that I cite to many libraries and institutions undertaking a move or the creation of an institutional archives.” The nomination for Sweet and Richardson was supported by others including David Warrick, chair of the steering committee for the county’s Sir John A.

It is a great boost to our confidence as managers of a community archives.” The new modern facility, adjacent to the Wellington branch library, is ideally suited to the preservation of delicate materials and it is fully accessible. “We are very grateful as well for the support of the Ontario Trillium Foundation and the Stark Family Fund,” adds Sweet. “It was perfect timing that just as we were making the transition we obtained the funding to house all of the materials in acid free boxes and store them on new archival shelving units. It is not often that everything falls into place so neatly.” Richardson fully agrees, and says of winning the OLA achievement award, “I was so pleased to know that we had been nominated to begin with, and when I later learned that we had won, I was absolutely thrilled!” After a busy 2010, the library is already engaged in 2011 some new and demanding projects both for the Archives and the library for 2011. after a busy 2010 we are already in 2011 engaged in some new and demanding projects both for the Archives and the library.

OPP dedicates full-time officer to monitor for traffic-related infractions Drivers in the county ought to be more careful to ensure they follow the laws of the road — after all, they’re being watched more closely this week. The Prince Edward OPP detachment announced that beginning on Monday there has been a full-time traffic management officer dedicated to watching local roads for driving offences. In a release, detachment spokesperson Const. Kim Guthrie said the public raised concerns to police about various issues with speeding being the primary complaint. Coupled with those concerns are the data pointing to speed, failure to wear seat belts, alcohol, and electronic devices as factors contributing to automobile collisions. “A dedicated traffic management officer, assisted by platoon officers in between calls for service, ensures these concerns will be addressed and

Economic development office looks for reconsideration Taylor says grant application not just for cheese industry, but the start of a broader food initiative He said a decision not to accept the grant could affect the way the County receives these sorts of grants in the future. “We're asking council to reconsider the motion on Thursday at the committeeof-the-whole meeting,” Taylor said. “We've brought some new information forward to try and

shed some light on some of the questions and issues that were brought up.” Taylor said one of the things he wants to clear up is that the grant is not just for cheese. He said although the partnership between the municipalities started with Invest in Cheese, this grant would have extended the partnership for two more years and would have allowed the municipalities to focus on a broad range of food, beverage and other agrifood operations. “We did an Invest in Cheese program for two years with our neighbours and we were quite happy with both the lead generation and with the partnership itself, so we decided to join forces on a broader food, beverage and agrifood initiative,” Taylor said. “They're hopeful that council will reconsider this motion at committee of the whole, we're just sort of waiting to find out whether or not that's acceptable to council.” In a Globe and Mail article published on Jan. 4 titled “Top 10 food trends of 2011:From vegetable ash to drinkable snacks” Lynn Crawford, host of the Food Network Show Pitchin' In, says artisanal cheese and other locally made foods are a growing trend. “Artisanal cheese embodies many of the food trends that are happening right now — the interest in local production, in knowing how and where one's food is made, and the quest for new and interesting flavours,” the article says. Taylor said that's why the four municipalities formed Invest in Cheese. “It's a $100-million growth industry over the next decade,” he said. “In fact, that same Globe and Mail article talked about other food and beverage trends and so we're actually trying to capitalize on all of those locally produced and manufactured foods like cheese and beyond.” Taylor said that's where the North American marketplace is heading and there's an opportunity for small-scale food businesses in the county to make products that can be sold all over the province. The grant, Taylor said, is twofold in that it focuses both on Prince Edward County and the entire region and would help to grow the county's reputation has a leader in the agri-food business. “We're really trying to build on our leadership and we're known as a leader because we're successful in building the business,” he said. “We're building on 10 years of success and trying to maintain that momentum so that we can succeed in continuing to attract investment.” Taylor said that investment attraction helps to create jobs and aids in the growth of the tax base.

Renovations continue at Mt. Tabor Volunteers aim to improve fire safety at Milford theatre

ADAMBRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

It’s a good bet the old adage “there’s not a bad seat in the house,” now applies at Milford’s Mt. Tabor Playhouse. Four Marysburgh Mummers volunteers could certainly attest to that, and to the fact that the theatre has about 15 fewer seats and there’s more space for patrons between them. The weekend, the crew was in the empty theatre Sunday measuring rows to ensure they were no closer than 16 inches apart, then renailing all the seating to the floor of the historic former Methodist Church. The new seating plan is just one of many changes that have had to be made at Mt. Tabor to bring it the facility up to fire code. “It’s a big job, but it’s not insurmountable,” said Mummers president Bruce Dowdell. “We’ve done enough work that it won’t affect our ability to do shows here.” Since the County’s fire department reported on the building’s deficiencies, several steps have been made to upgrade Mt. Tabor. The County directed funds that would have been used for the parking lot to install a new fire alarm system. New fire doors have been installed and specially shaped doors that open out have been installed on the front facade of the building. Some of the props and items stored inside have also been moved to a storage crate outside the building. Dowdell said the work done already was enough to allow a fire watch imposed during shows to be lifted. The watch required three firefighters to be present at all shows at a cost of $30 each per hour, which would eat

into revenues severely. Still ahead, all of the seats in the theatre must be sprayed with a fire retardant coating, new fireproof curtains must be made, and railings are required on the stairs to the upper level within the theatre itself. The adjoining Bredin Hall requires a new fireproof ceiling and the basement of the building must be framed. Also, to fit with the new doors that open out, the front steps must be altered to provide a wider landing area. Dowdell said some of those further renovations are contingent on more money becoming available. Initially, he said they’ll look to see

what the department of parks, recreation, and culture can receive in the budget for the upgrades, which could cost up to $5,000, but he said it is reasonable to expect the Mummers will also be doing some fundraising to support the theatre they call home. “Just because the County owns the building, they shouldn’t have to do all of it,” he said. “We use the theatre portion of the building and we should help to take care of that.” Dowdell said the Mummers have already put several thousand dollars into the renovations and countless hours of volunteer labour, during working ses-

Goodman makes directing debut with PECTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Remember Me? CHADIBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

If you can't recall the last time you experienced community theatre, you might want to try Remember Me? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the latest offering from from the Prince Edward Community Theatre opening at the end of the month. The romantic comedy revolves around Manhattanites Brian and Mary Hanson, the former a tax attorney and the latter a decorator who believes she may have found a best-selling idea. Muddying the marriage waters are Peter Lawrence Mary's college flame and Tori Clark, a struggling semi-vegetarian actress. Brian and Mary's union is tested, but can the pair find their way back to love? The production features a small cast of four: Local

actors Fred Lester as Brian, Debra Bullis as Mary, Pat Larkin as Lawrence and Lindsey Payne as Clark. Theatre founder Lynn Fennell said he tries to look for shows with small casts for practical reasons, chiefly the size of the performance space, but also small casts allow something that larger productions sometimes don't. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It allows the director an opportunity to work closely with individuals more often than would otherwise be possible,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With a large cast you're handling groups of people whereas with a small cast, more often than not, you're dealing with individuals or pairings.â&#x20AC;? It may have a small cast, but Fennell said the play isn't small on laughs.

He said Remember Me? contrasts the theatre's two previous productions as the previous plays have dealt with senior citizens facing getting older. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those two plays focused on the trials and tribulations of elderly characters, both were comedies and both had dramatic elements in them, they were similar thematically,â&#x20AC;? he said. That isn't the only thing that's different this time around. For the first time Fennell will be handing the directing reins to someone else: Jennifer Goodman. He said it's a refreshing change of pace and will allow him to take a different view of the production while still staying involved with several aspects including promotion and set construction.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It allows me to see how another director would stage the production, to see how a different pair of eyes and hands look at the script and bring it to life,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It gives me an opportunity to compare and step back a bit and see how this individual is putting it together. It's an eye-opener in many respects for me and it's also very refreshing.â&#x20AC;? Goodman will make her directing debut with the play and said things have been going very well so far. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a phenomenal cast who I know very well and who are great actors and they have a great sense of the script,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's really a collaborative effort, they're giving me their ideas and thoughts on things and we're joining them together to make the

final performance.â&#x20AC;? Goodman said the audience will recognize the actors, but at the same time will be able to see them become someone else, getting into the mind of the characters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They all fit the characters fairly well,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you read a show you sort of start casting in your head who you like or hope would come out and get involved and I've got to admit these people were among the first that went through my mind and I was very lucky to get them involved.â&#x20AC;?

Loyalist College filmmakers bring another zombie movie to county Comedy flick Resident Dork being filmed near Claramount CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

Zombies are invading Prince Edward County. When it comes to films that's how it would appear. After Sandbanks Provincial Park doubled for a sandy shore in Alaska in 2010's Resident Evil: Afterlife it appears the zombies keep coming. A group of Loyalist College students recently filmed a scene for their zombie comedy entitled Resident Dork in Picton. Making the film is part of the television and new media students' third year curriculum. The plot revolves around high school nerd Chad who is suddenly thrust into a world of flesh-eating zombies with his two friends. The hero must save his friends, his mom and the day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One day the world kind of turns into a whole zombie infestation and they're basically just trying to survive through it and get to their one buddy's house that is a big mansion that they're going to spend the rest of their time in,â&#x20AC;? said director Alex Huard. Huard said despite some rough patches along the way, production on the film is going well and principal photography is nearly complete. He said the production made its way to Picton in

December after the students had some difficulty finding a suitable mansion exterior. Eventually they found what they were looking for in the Claramount Inn and Spa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had been looking around for a long time trying to find a mansion exterior, but there's not too many places around here and when we found somewhere things had fallen through,â&#x20AC;? said Huard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We came across Claramount Spa and called them and asked them if we'd be able to shoot there for one afternoon and they said it was alright.â&#x20AC;? Huard said the students were allowed to film the exterior of the building and grounds free of charge and were treated very respectfully. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The employees were very nice to us about going

â&#x20AC;&#x153;There's a wide variety of guys I like,â&#x20AC;? said Huard. Huard said the movie could be likened to another zombie comedy in Shaun of the Dead in some ways, but offers a different point of view in the event of a zombie takeover. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's more of a story of survival through the eyes of high school students, but at the same time it's find your friends and family, rescue them and find somewhere else to hide,â&#x20AC;? he said. The movie developed over the course of the students' three years of the Television and New Media program and was written by Isaac Miller and is being produced by Paul Duck. Huard

ahead and setting up outside and everyone that came was very respectful to us and we appreciated that very much,â&#x20AC;? Huard said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were there as guests using the property and I hope we left it to their liking, but we were very grateful for the time and space that was given to us there.â&#x20AC;? The film will mark Huard's first as a director. He said he watched a lot of George A. Romero (Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead) movies to get into the zombie mood. He said his style was also influenced by Quentin Tarantino and Stanley Kubrick.

said the students wrote treatments for scripts in their first year which eventually evolved into full-fledged screenplays. Of those seven of the best were chosen by the faculty and the students

worked on pre-production elements, getting the project ready for filming. Eventually two were chosen to be filmed.

Understanding Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Old Age Security program Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Old Age Security Pension is based on age, legal status and years of residence in Canada. There are two types of pension â&#x20AC;&#x201C; full and partial. The pension is taxable. Eligibility is based on age (a person must be 65 years old or more), legal status (a Canadian citizen) and residence requirements (a legal resident of Canada). See the website address below for more information on residence requirements. People must apply for this pension in writing. The OAS pension starts the later of the month after your 65th birthday; the month after the application is approved; or the month after the residence requirements are met. It ends the earliest of the seventh month after the month of departure from Canada, the month after death, or at a clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request. These other benefits of the OAS program are available, to those who qualify: Guaranteed Income Supple-

INFO FOR SENIORS

DEBBIE MACDONALD MOYNES ment (GIS); Allowance; Allowance for the Survivor. The GIS is for lowincome seniors and is added to the OAS pension. It is based on income and marital status. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also based on combined income, if the applicant has a spouse/common law partner and it is not taxable. To be eligible the person must be in receipt of an OAS pension, reside in Canada and apply in writing. The allowance is for low-income seniors who meet the eligibility conditions, is based on combined income from the previous year and is not taxable. Again, people must apply in writing. To be eligible people must be between the ages of 60 and 64, the spouse/common law part-

ner of a GIS recipient, a Canadian citizen or a legal resident (the same as with OAS). The Allowance for the Survivor is also for lowincome seniors who meet the eligibility conditions. It is based on the previous yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s income, is not taxable, and must be applied for in writing. To be eligible, applicants must be between the ages of 60 and 64, be a survivor, and a Canadian citizen or legal resident (same as with OAS). At age 65 the Allowance and the Allowance for the Survivor stop and the person must apply for the OAS pension. They may also be eligible for the GIS. Involuntary separation is when spouses/partners are living apart beyond their control, such as in a longterm care home. In this situation, GIS payments may be increased as the government recognizes that each are paying for shelter costs. Both spouses/partners 65 or over and receiving the GIS may be considered as either single, married or common law, whichever is to their advantage. Again, application must be made in writing.

Difficult weekend as Dukes drop two to rivals Wellington splits by beating Dixie, Cobourg, losing against Kingston and Lindsay JASON PARKS

STAFF WRITER

Wellington Dukes fans are probably asking themselves in the wake of a two win-two loss weekend if the club’s losses were a small blip en route to an Eastern Division title or signs of a crack in the shield of superiority the local Jr. A outfit has exhibited all season long. Losses Friday night to the Kingston Voyageurs (31) and the Lindsay Muskies (6-3) went with wins over Dixie (4-2) on Saturday and Cobourg (2-1 in overtime) on Monday to give Wellington a 29-5-4 record. Despite setbacks to Eastern division rivals, Wellington (62 points) still maintains a comfortable cushion in their first place slot, leading second place Peterborough by five points and maintaining a game in hand over the LiftLock Stars. Wellington head coach and general manager Marty Abrams said he thought his team played well enough to win over the Kingston Voyageurs but didn’t bury the scoring

defenders Alex Pym (20) and Anthony Colizza (9) as he tries to move the puck in front of goaltender Wendell Vye’s goal. The new Kingston stopper turned aside 31 of 32 Wellington shots to earn a win. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

chances the club had when they presented themselves. “We just didn’t capitalize when we had our chances, especially in the second period,” Abrams said. “We were really happy with the effort and we thought we outplayed them.” Kingston shot out to a

3-0 lead over Wellington through the opening 35 minutes. Sean Rudy finally solved Wendell Vye at the 16:15 mark of the second with help from Darcy Murphy and Joe Zarbo to make it 3-1 but that was all the offense the locals could muster as neither team

scored in the final 20 minutes. Wellington got back on the right track Saturday night in Dixie, doubling the Beehives 4-2. Matched up against a weak sister of the Southern Division, Wellington held much of the play and provided an easy night for

newly acquired puckstopper Craig Rylett. Despite owning the puck for most of the game however, the Dukes offence managed just four scores against the OJHL’s worst defensive team. “Certainly, the lack of offensive production is concerning, considering

how much of that game we controlled,” Abrams said. Zach Blake had a pair, including an opening score on a penalty shot while Brian Bunnett and Rudy added singles. Rylett, a journeyman netminder that has had stopovers in Cobourg and Upper Canada (among other places) stopped 20 of 22 shots. On Sunday at home against the Muskies, the Dukes submitted one of the worst opening periods on home ice in years and ended the opening frame down 4-1. “They came out and jumped on us,” Abrams said. “We got better as the game wore on, but they capitalized on their chances early and we didn’t.” Lindsay scored in the opening minute and never looked back. Joe Zarbo got one past Luke Bierworth in the first while Wellington was on the power play to make it 1-1 for a time, but Lindsay blasted three pucks past Ruby in a ten minute span to build a lead they would never relinquish. The Fish scored the only goal of the second and only Wellington goals that bookended another Muskie strike in the third kept the score respectable.

everything they needed to do to win for 17 minutes and lost the game in the final three. “We got that power play and there was some selfish play and some play by some people who are more worried about points than they are preserving a one-goal lead and that's the result,” he said. “(The defence) had been aggressive on the power play all night, so I don't think we necessarily doubted that they could do something, but at the same time if we just went out and played conservatively on the power play odds are we grind out the last two minutes of that game and basically secure ourselves a chance at two points.”

penalty and the Pirates sent out the highest scoring power play unit in the league. Unfortunately the Pirates suffered a collapse. Napanee's Chris Doyle scored shorthanded to tie the game and just over a minute later Paul Fortin scored another shorthanded tally to give the Raiders the lead. David Cozzi added an empty-net goal and a dejected Pirates squad couldn't believe it. “We've never been so disappointed in a team and a result than we were on Thursday night,” said Pirates general manager Jason Parks. “We had the league leaders there, with a few minutes to go, on the power play and we gave up two shorthanded goals.” Parks said his team did

After dropping Thursday's home game against the Napanee Raiders the Picton Pirates put together two solid outings, coming out of the weekend with four out of six possible points. After losing 5–3 to Napanee on Thursday, Picton blew the doors off the Jets 4–1 and held on to a one-goal lead to fend off the Raiders 4–3 on Tuesday night. As many Pirates-Raiders games do, Thursday's game started with some tight checking sprinkled with some end-to-end chances. Halfway through the first period Napanee's Peter Roy broke the deadlock. The Raiders held onto that lead until early in the

second period when Josh McLeod fired home the tying goal. The momentum began to swing in favour of Picton. Jack Davison added a power-play goal to give the Pirates the lead, but on the power play Roy came back with his second of the night to even the score again. With less than four minutes to play in the second the Pirates again went to the power play. Dylan Mountenay capitalized and the Pirates went into the third protecting a one-goal lead. The following 18 minutes of the third closely resembled the opening half of the first with the teams checking hard and keeping shots to the outside. With two minutes to go in the game Napanee's Luke Emmons took a roughing

Picton rebounds from 2-0 deficit

PIRATES, from page 22

Parks said after the Pirates gave up the first shorthanded marker it looked as if the team felt pressured to take the lead back on the power play and ended up making costly mistakes. He said the coaching staff didn't address the team after the game. “That's something that the players in that dressing room needed to iron out themselves,” he said. He said the coaches can't always yell and scream at a team when they've done something wrong and said sometimes silence is the best option. He said the team showed up in Amherstview on Saturday night ready to play and coach Ryan Woodward fired them up. “He gave them a very enthusiastic speech and made sure not to dismiss the breakdown on Thursday night,” Parks said. “You need to get it behind you, but at the same time you need to remember what happened, how it happened and that you never want to feel like that again.” This time it was the

Pirates jumping on the board first. Evan Greer scored at 12:36 of the first period and the Pirates took the one-goal lead into the second. Under a minute into the second stanza Dylan Mountenay fired in his second goal in as many games to give Picton a 2–0 lead. Just 34 seconds later Amherstview's Travis Rizzi narrowed the gap, but the Pirates didn't take their foot off the gas. Pat Millington scored at 6:23 of the second and Adam Finley made in 4–1 at 7:13. A scoreless third period was just the kind of contrast the Pirates needed to bring into Napanee on Tuesday. Parks said his players took Woodward's words to heart and played a complete game. He said it was one of the best games the Pirates have played against the Jets this season and after having a few moral victories versus the Jets it felt good to take the two points against Amherstview. “We just went out there and wanted those two points bad enough that we took them,” Parks said. “It

was an excellent rebound game.” The Pirates looked to carry the momentum into Tuesday's contest against the Raiders, but it didn't start out the way they wanted it to.Adam Shulist and Roy gave the Raiders an early 2–0 lead, but Ryan Sizer was able to narrow the gap before period's end, capitalizing on momentum gained by a good timeout call by Woodward after Napanee’s second goal. Greer and Davison added second period goals while the Pirates kept the Raiders off the board. Eric Hayes made it 4–2 five minutes into the third period and as the clock ticked down in the third Napanee fired shot after shot at goaltender Matt Kaludis. Despite being outshot 11–4 in the third the Pirates were able to protect the two goal lead long enough. Colin Doelman narrowed the score to 4–3, but with only six seconds remaining the Pirates took the win. Picton will have their only action this week tonight at 7:30 p.m. versus the Campbellford Rebels.

Dukes add three before deadline

DUKES, from page 22

Blake and Zach Jones lit the lamp for Wellington in third in front a sparse Wellington faithful who might have stayed home to avoid the poor weather conditions. A goaltending battle awaited Wellington on Monday night as Ruby and Mathieu Cadieux went save for save for 65 minutes. “The effort was tremendous on the part of both goalie,” Abrams said. Both clubs would score in the second. Zarbo teamed up with Rudy and Murphy at 5:09 but Cobourg got that goal back quickly on the power play at 6:42 thanks to Cougar Derek Foote. Neither squad would score until the shootout and only then did Bunnett provide the sole successful shootout attempt. After a ho-hum game a night earlier, Abrams said he was happy with his clubs effort level. “We showed a lot of intensity and a lot of heart,” he said. “After playing four games in four nights, I think we had legs to spare, which was a good sign.” While the team didn’t hold back Monday evening, Abrams didn’t hold back at the OHA trade deadline. In acquiring a capable back up for Ruby in Rylett, Abrams said losing former Duke Ryan MacDonald prior to Christmas threw him a curve ball. However, Rylett, who played for the Oakville Blades in 2008 in their Dudley-Hewitt Championship year, will be able to spell

Ruby off during the final stretch of the regular season. “He knows his role, he will be a good influence in the dressing room and we’re happy to have him,” Abrams said. Elliott Richardson is a defenceman with good mobility that can make a good first pass out of his zone. “He’s tough, he’s a great puck mover and he’s one of those defencemen that brings a little bit of everything,” Abrams said of the former Muskie. Finally, Abrams was able to land 17-year-old Braden Kavaratzis from the Sarnia Legionaries. Playing for the Sarnia Sting as a 16-year-old last season, Kavaratzis had six points in 13 games before

being dispatched to the Toronto Jr. Canadians. This season, Kavaratzis was unable to stick with the Sting and was playing Jr. B with the Legionaries. “Playing there wasn’t his cup of tea and the deal happened because of a cold call I made to Sarnia just to feel out if they were interested in making a deal. At 17, Kavaratzis could be a foundation piece for the local club or could find his way back to the OHL . “If he make the Sting next season, we’re happy, if he’s back for next season, we’re happy,” Abrams said. Wellington locks horns with Peterborough on Friday night before playing a home and home with the Trenton Golden Hawks on Sunday and Wednesday.

First quarter surge lifts Panthers past Trojans nated the boards. Jake Clark also managed eight points that night. For Moira, Aaron Reid found the hot hand in the second half, scoring 17 points including three from three-point range to close the wide gap somewhat. The win gave the Panthers a sweep on Moira this season and helped them improve to a 2-4 mark in league competition, good for third place in their pool. The Panthers are back at home this weekend against Centennial, where they will be looking for an upset win

Had it been a fight, the senior basketball game Monday between PECI and Moira likely would have been stopped. Early. But it wasn’t, it was basketball and the host Panthers did everything in their power to put on a clinic for the guest Trojans in the first quarter, then cruised to a 64-44 triumph. Though that’s the score that goes into the books, the critical number comes with the score after the first stanza, where PECI put up a 27-1 lead, led by a 21 point run before the Trojans managed a free throw. It took Moira until the final 1:36 of the quarter to get a good look at the offensive basket beyond the stifling PECI full-court pressure. Turnovers and fast breaks were the name of the game. “We took the pressure off after the first,” said Panthers coach Rob Garden. “We’re trying to

win with it and we saw the impact that it can have, but nobody likes a blowout.” From there, the Trojans did rebound and trade

scoring with the Panthers, but the damage had already been done. If one takes away the first quarter, Moira actually outscored

the Panthers 43-37. Though Garden did acknowledge PECI backed off from its trademark press and it certainly used its full bench, the coach was a tad critical of the Panthers’ effort to finish t he game. He said the team has to learn to show the same killer instinct and intensity in its half-court defence as the full-court press, and also expressed concern about the offence. “We did a really good job in the first half not turing the basketball over. We had two turnovers,” he said. “In the second half, we turned it over 12 times. That’s 12 less chances for us to score.” Garden conceded however that having a large lead so early in the game is often one of the toughest situations for a young basketball team to play with. Offensively, Taylor Reddick continued his strong performance this year by posting 30 points with seven coming from the free throw line. Ryan Vader also contributed 11 points in the win. The Panthers also got strong post play out of Morgan Johnson, who tallied eight points and domi-

in an attempt to move up in the standings. Garden said the Panthers’ goal is to move into a top-two spot in their pool. “Ideally, we’d like to be in that second place to home-court advantage in the playoffs,” he said. The Panthers will be getting some extra time on the hard court this weekend to prepare for a final home date against St. Theresa next Thursday prior to the exam break. PECI will travel to Odessa, where they’ll compete at the Ernestown tournament.

MEMORIAMS LEWIS- Wendy. January 15, 2007. Four years have gone since you were taken from me. It seems like only yesterday you were here with me. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a day that goes by That youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not in my thoughts. The memories are always there to comfort me and make me smile. I will always love you. Garry. LEWIS- Wendy. In loving memory of a loving mother and nana, who passed away on January 15, 2007. No one knows how much we miss you No one knows the bitter pain We have suffered since we lost you; Life has never been the same. In our hearts, your memory lingers, Sweetly tender, fond and true, There is not a day, dear mother, That we do not think of you. You are greatly loved and never will be forgotten.

MADDERN, to my dearest husband Fred, of 68 years, 1918-2010 The moment that you died My heart split in two, The one side filled with memories, The other died with you, I think of you in silence, I always speak your name, For all I have are memories And your picture in a frame. I often lay awake at night, When the world is fast asleep, I take a walk down memory lane, With tears upon my cheeks. The years I had with you Are worth their weight in gold, The joy and laughter that you gave me, are mine to have and hold Remembering you is easy to do, And I do it every day, But missing you is the heartache, That never goes away. I hold you close within my heart, And there you will remain, For all throughout my life, Until we meet again. Yours always, Joyce MAINPRIZE-Isabel. In loving memory of a dear grandmother, who passed away January 19, 2010. What Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d give if I could say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hello, Gramâ&#x20AC;? in the same old way. To hear your voice, and see your smile To sit with you and chat awhile. Loving you always, Forgetting you never. Christine. MAINPRIZE-Isabel. In loving memory of a dear mother,who passed away January 19,2010. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a year since youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been gone, But in our hearts you still live on, Our family chain is broken, And nothing is the same We mention your name, And speak of you often, God bless you, You are not forgotten. Forever in our hearts Your family. MAINPRIZE-Isabel, who passed away January 19, 2010. You can only have one mother Patient, kind and true No other friend in all the world Will be so true to you To those who have a mother Treasure her with care For you never know her value Til you see her vacant chair. Always loved by son Ron (Rose) grandson Mike (Carrie) great grandchildren Brandon, Krista, Angel and Bubba. RANKIN, William Stanley July 4, 1913-January 14, 2009 Gone are the days we used to share, In our hearts youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always there; The gates of memory will never close, We miss you more than anyone knows; With tender love and deep regret, We who love you will never forget. Deeply missed by your family. ROSENBLATH-James. Nov.23,1978Jan.16, 2010. Beloved son, brother and friend. Everyday, in some small way Memories of you come our way Though absent, you are ever near, Still missed, still loved and ever dear. Remembered alway, Mom & Dad, brother Wil, family and friends.

Clockwise, from top left, Carrie Longhurst waves as she and her friends descend for a ride down the hill toward the creek at the bottom; Ford Facette-Grondin, Abby Ramsbottom, and Terra Cobb have a thrilling passage down the hill; Ana Blum enjoys a slower place on her saucer; and Ruth Laliberte enjoys being pulled forward by a faster sled.

Mayer York’s athlete of the week A serious commitment to training this year has paid off for York University senior David Mayer. In his first indoor track meet of the season, the Picton native won gold medals in the 300 m and 600 m races at the University of Toronto, topping 30 competitors in the 300 m race with a time of 36.50 s and leading the 600 m field with a 1:25.26 time,

reaching the OUA automatic qualifying standard. The results helped the fourth year kinesiology and health sciences student and Nicholson grad to win the university’s male athlete of the week honours. Mayer will be on the track again this weekend as his Lions head to Windsor . -Staff

Junior Panthers put out best effort PECI rewarded for two-way play with win

ADAM BRAMBURGER

STAFF WRITER

Fittingly, the PECI Junior Panthers were rewarded for their best effort of the Bay of Quinte season with a victory Monday. The Panthers jumped out to an early game lead, but saw the Trojans battle back. Unshaken, PECI came back to the court in the second half ready to work and they saw their lead grow before registering a 52-33 triumph. “This was the best game of our year, hands down,” said coach Joe Chapman. “I’ve never seen a team this young work this hard.” While an aggressive fullcourt press Chapman described as “right in their face “ helped the Panthers prevail, the biggest story of Monday’s contest might have been the explosion of the team’s offence.

In the contest, eight different Panthers managed to find the basket. Robert Wilson led the way with 16 points. Matt Gallo had seven and Dallas Hunter, Shane Smith, and Donny Tait each put up six. Bryce Timm and Scott McQuaid chipped in a couple baskets each and George Goddard rounded out the balanced home-floor attack. Chapman said the boost came as his players were prepared to take their time and set up the plays they wanted to run. That patience led to improved execution. In particular, one play that gave the Panthers much of their success was one Chapman described as curl where two players set up at the top of the key, then peel off, giving the team more options with the basketball. He added the team also got a lot of value out of its post plays down low. With the first win of the new year, Chapman said the Panthers now have set a standard for what they need to do to succeed.

QHC says patients, physicians prefer to remain closer to home

BEDS, from page 1

Moving more than four beds could lead to a serious reduction in nursing hours and may wind up forcing some young nurses to leave the area in search of more hours at another facility. Colby said the physicians have consulted nursing management as well as PECMH’s charge nurse and have concluded the hospital can manage with the loss of four beds and that potential relocation won’t lead to significant decrease in nursing hours. Moving more than four could significantly alter what most would agree is a smoothly running hospital. “What you may be doing (when moving more than four beds) is taking one of the best E.R.s in Ontario in terms of wait

times and lowering the standard of care,” Colby said. “We could have serious critical mass issues.” In addition, fewer beds would lessen the ability for physicians to practice complete inpatient care and the recruitment program that has attracted so many doctors to Prince Edward County could suffer serious damage, the doctor added. With statistics likely ruling the day on this issue, both camps appear willing to haggle over numbers. While the occupancy rates are a given, the number of Prince Edward County residents in beds at both sites is up for debate, with QHC pointing out most local residents in a QHC bed are actually, on average, most likely to spend their time at BGH. According to numbers

provided by QHC, of the Prince Edward County patients requiring in-hospital care, on average 39 per cent access the services at PECMH, 59 per cent need specialized services (inpatient surgery, births including cesarean sections, CT scans, et cetera.) at BGH and two per cent are in Trenton. These numbers don’t include residents from the northern edge of the county (for example., Carrying Place, Rossmore, et cetera) who are closer to Trenton and Belleville. Colby says he and his fellow doctors don’t buy that argument. While he admits there is specialized and necessary care at BGH, there is some pretty intense medicine being practiced at PECMH. “Although, that’s getting harder to accomplish

‘Belleville is in a different situation now as there are enough family physicians...’

as we get smaller,” he said. In his experience, Colby says county residents are often at BGH for maladies that could be managed at PECMH . “The argument has been the work up started in Belleville, so they should finish their care in Belleville but in some cases they could be back here,” he said.

VIDEO PICK

Some concerned about letting any beds be moved STAFF WRITER

County council has unanimously thrown its support behind a proposal put together by physicians concerned about a possible reduction in acute care beds at Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital. On Jan. 7 Quinte Health Care issued a news release which announced the possibility of eight acute care beds being transferred from Picton to Belleville General Hospital. In response the 24 family physicians in Prince Edward County submitted a press release which said while not enthusiastic about losing any beds, the physicians proposed to QHC management that no more than four beds be moved to Belleville. They asked for a six month trial for their proposal. The physicians said losing more than than four acute care beds would put PECMH at risk of losing skilled nurses and other staff and could lead to overflow inpatients in the hospital's emergency department which would increase wait times. The release said the loss of eight of the hospital's 24 beds would force more local residents to seek care in Belleville. South Marysburgh councillor Barb Proctor said specialized services are being consolidated at

BARB PROCTOR the Belleville site which in some cases is a good thing, but she said Belleville's expansion shouldn't compromise the quality of care at PECMH. “Removing eight beds from Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital would create a huge service gap which would prevent our health care professionals from practicing comprehensive medicine to deliver optimum primary care,” she said. Proctor said moving the beds could also affect the county's ability to recruit new doctors. Proctor put forward a motion supporting the position of the physicians and their proposal to request QHC to move no more than four beds. The motion passed unanimously. When the motion was tabled councillor Kevin Gale said he would support it, but expressed con-

that have been shuttled to PECMH during times of overcapacity that they prefer to be at a site closer to their home and nearer to family members. Colby makes it clear the PEFHT team and the physicians are interested in keeping PECMH a fully functional site with the right amount of services offered. “We’ve been working very hard to keep what we have at this hospital, but we want to make sure the community understands that are working hard to keep PECMH as much as a full-service hospital as we can,” Colby said. “We will make due with whatever is thrown at us but the community needs to know the situation we are faced with and the possible consequences.”

Council backs doctors’ position CHADIBBOTSON

Care close to home is an argument both sides will employ should this bed tug-of-war go over the four bed line the County physicians have drawn in the sand. “The reason those eight beds were left in the county to begin with was because we didn’t have enough family doctors in Belleville and Trenton,” Egberts said of the decision to remove PECMH beds from the chopping block during QHC’s financial crisis in 2009. “Belleville is in a different situation now as there are enough family physicians to be able to look after Belleville-based patients.” Egberts said QHC is now a getting a fair amount of push back from both patients and physicians

cern about including a number. He said including a number of beds that could be taking away would be the equivalent of saying it's okay for QHC to move them. “I don't want to give anything,” he said. “I'm not going against our doctors at all, I just don't like being bullied by big brother.” Hallowell councillor Keith MacDonald agreed. “About every two years somebody has wanted to take something away from our hospital,” he said. “I don't want to give up any beds because they're nipping away at us, they're going to take four and in a couple of years they're going to want four more.”

“We're not too sure when the screening date is, we haven't been given that, but usually sometime in March,” Huard said. He said post production has been ongoing over the course of filming and will finish up close the the end of the school semester.

“We'll pretty much take that up to whenever we need because we do have quite a few special effects that we have to add in as well,” he said. “It's going to be a lot of graphics that have to be done with regard to blood splatters and stuff so there's going to be a lot of time issued toward that.”

Donors making a difference through Food For Life contributions JASON PARKS

STAFF WRITER

Elementary and secondary school students in Prince Edward County who utilize programs administered by the Food for Learning branch of the Hastings and Prince Edward Learning Foundation received good news this week as several organizations presented funds to bolster healthy eating initiative at local schools. The Municipality of Prince Edward County, the Prince Edward Federation of Agriculture and the Quinte Gold Wing Riders Associa-

tion all made significant donations to the Food for Learning program, an initiative that provides healthy snacks, breakfasts or lunches at various local schools. “It’s absolutely incredible and we are thrilled with the response to the Food for Learning program by the community, but the real winners here are the children,” Learning Foundation executive Director Maribeth deSnoo told the Gazette. “There are a rich variety of students that are accessing these programs on a regular basis.”

According to the foundation, over 150 student nutrition programs are being offered throughout Hastings and Prince Edward counties. This school year, these programs will serve more than 600,000 meals and snacks to over 10,000 students “We are well aware that at certain times of the month or year, food is as accessible for some as it needs to be due to family economics and these programs are there to help bridge that gap,” she added. Prince Edward County’s

contribution that totals almost $1,800 comes as part of the second annual Feed The Meter campaign. The cities of Belleville and Trenton as well as the town of Picton all maintained their tradition of free parking for the month of December but left their parking meters uncovered for shoppers to be able to contribute to the Food for Learning program. The campaign netted over $24,000 in total, eclipsing the $15,000 were hoping for. Given the success of the campaign deSnoo said the Foundation will be making the same pitch to local municipalities in the coming year. At PECI, the Prince Edward Federation of agriculture stepped up with a $1,000 contribution to ensure the ‘Snack Shack,’ a healthy breakfast snack program offered twice a week was able to operate until the end of semester one. Between 200 and 400 PECI students are using the program each time it’s offered. According to its website, the Learning Foundation says many students in Hastings & Prince Edward counties arrive at schools with little or no nutritious food to sustain them throughout the day. “Food for Learning strives to ensure that all local children are attending school with the nourishment they need to reach their full potential in the classroom,”

After investigating our various options for making our contribution, my wife and I decided on making a gift of stock rather than cash. This way the PECMH Foundation would receive the full value of the stock on the day of transfer, we get a charitable receipt for that amount and because it is a gift to a registered charity, the transfer of shares is not subject to capital gains tax. This has been a rewarding experience for Trudy and me. We shared this decision as we journey through life together. Our donation provides a return on investment that is very rewarding.â&#x20AC;?

On arriving in Picton in 2009, we spent time with our family doctor and the former mayor, inquiring about the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital. Both men were supportive of our hospital and underscored the need for continued community support. The refurbishing of the Emergency Room and the Radiology Suite is a great example of Foundation donors together with Quinte Health Care and the Ministry of Health making a real difference in our community.
