picton gazette may 9 2013

In one night, what was amemorable season for thePicton Pirates became anunforgettable one.

Wednesday, May 1 2013will forever be remem-bered as the date the localJunior C hockey team de-fied the odds to win twogames in one night andcapture the ClarenceSchmalz Cup as Ontariochampions for the first timein the club's 24-year his-tory.

A week later Piratescoach and general managerRyan Woodward said thewin was just starting tosink in.

“It still feels like it justhappened yesterday. I'mjust happy for all the play-ers, sponsors, everyonewho's been involved,” hesaid. “We just couldn't behappier.”

Woodward said the se-ries win came under un-usual circumstances, butcouldn't have played outany better for his team.

“To be able to win notone, but two tightly con-tested games on home iceto clinch the series and thetrophy is just very, veryunique,” he said. “It'ssomething that may neverhappen again and it's

something that people arealways going to remem-ber.”

It was a long road. Itwas bumpy at times. Itbegan with a regular sea-son in which the club went34-4-0-2 before sweeping

the Amherstview Jets in theEmpire league semi-finaland the Port Hope Pan-thers in five games to winthe league championship.

When the Piratesreached the Schmalz Cupplayoffs, the team quickly

realized they'd need to stepup their game. After beingdown 3–1 in their quarter-final series against theLakefield Chiefs, the Pi-rates won the series inseven games and swept theAlliston Hornets in thesemi-final en route to aSchmalz Cup final match-up versus the Essex 73's.

Woodward noted justhow much it took to get tothe final.

“It's difficult and any-one who's gone through along playoff run will un-derstand. There are a lot ofobstacles along the waythat you have to deal withinternally — injuries, ad-versity,” he said. “The guysreally seemed to getstronger the further theywent and you could start tosee they realized they hadan opportunity and theywanted to make the mostof it.”

The Pirates won the firstgame against Essex, but itwas later contested andruled to be replayed. Theylost the second game athome. But the team didn'tlet up.

They won both games inEssex setting up lastWednesday's thrilling se-ries conclusion.

Prince Edward-Hastings MPPTodd Smith is furious withlast Thursday’s $127.6 -billionOntario budget, but this timehe isn’t seeing only red.

Instead of lashing out atthe governing Liberals alone,Smith charged that many ofthe new spending projectswere authored by the NDPand, ultimately, they are proj-ects he says the provincecan’t afford.

“Instead of getting thespending under control andeliminating the deficit, Pre-mier Wynne has decided itwould be much easier to goleft. She’ll continue spendingto appease the NDP ratherthan do the heavy lifting,” hesaid.

Smith said the budgetincludes $13.6 billion in newspending, which will pushOntario’s deficit to about $12billion next year and requireit to pay over $11 billion justto service the interest on itsdebt.

“That’s money that couldgo into services at Prince

Edward County MemorialHospital, into home care, andinto other services,” he said.

Smith pointed to a fewspending planks the NDPasked for directly, including aone-per-cent top up onOntarioWorks benefits, a tar-get 15-per-cent reduction inauto insurance payments,and $260 million towardhome care services.

He charged the govern-ment has to have a plan inorder to lower insurancerates, yet right now it is asubject of contention in com-mittees. A five-day guaranteefor home-care access also

requires more definition.Smith added he felt the

NDP might be “naive” insupporting the Liberal budgetwithout concrete plans notingthat the Liberals couldn’t betrusted on their recent gasplant scandal, nor their prom-ises not to raise taxes headingback to Dalton McGuinty’sfirst election. In short order,the government brought inthe health-care premium,then the province’s largestincome tax increase.

Other spending prioritiesinclude an increase inemployer health tax exemp-tions, which will cost $265million over three years anda youth jobs creation pro-gram — also an NDP-sup-ported program — that willcost $295 million over a two-year period.

Smith said he didn’t feelthe budget provided muchfor rural Ontario or PrinceEdward-Hastings itself.

He mentioned a $100-mil-lion spending commitmentfor rural roads and bridges,but noted the Rednersville

Road reconstruction itselfwould cost $10 million andBelleville is spending $91million itself on infrastruc-ture this year.

Smith added a $20 millionfund for innovation amongsmall and rural hospitalsintroduced in 2012 and madepermanent this year would-n’t stretch too far for capitalprojects and does nothing toincrease base operatingfunds for those facilities.

“It’s less than a drop inthe bucket for rural Ontario,”he said. “There were no realPrince Edward-Hastingsprojects or anything in thisregion mentioned.”

Smith added that for all ofWynne’s talk about a newprocess for green energyapprovals, there was also nomention of changes intro-duced at budget time.

Smith’s Progressive Con-servatives have already stat-ed they will not support thebudget and attempt to forcean election. The NDP has yetto indicate whether it willoffer its support or not.

Hospice Prince Edward'sresidential hospice projectofficially received provincialbacking on Tuesday.

Representatives of theSouth East Local Health Inte-gration Network (LHIN)announced early this weekin Picton that the project hasbeen approved for fundingas a pilot site.

The LHIN announced theapproval of $190,000 towardthe operation of clinical serv-ices at the site. The newthree-bed Downes Avenuefacility, which is set to openits doors this June, will pro-vide end of life care in ahome setting.

A release from the LHINsays the site will offer nurs-ing and personal support bythe South East CommunityCare Access Centre (CCAC)contracted providers in part-nership with Hospice PrinceEdward.

“The various aspects ofthis partnership will be for-malized through a memo-randum of understandingbetween the two organiza-tions,” the release says.

The release says buildinga sustainable hospice systemis part of the South EastLHIN's third IntegratedHealth Services Plan.

South East LHIN chiefoperating officer SherryKennedy said on Tuesdaythat the $190,000 is expectedto be annual, but will beevaluated as a one-year pilotto assess the need.

“We'll be working withHospice Prince Edward and

the CCAC to evaluate theprogram over the first yearand identify the need goingforward and determinewhat's the right amount togo forward with to supportthe number of patients andtheir families that you'll beseeing,” Kennedy said. “Weanticipate, based on experi-ence elsewhere in theprovince, this is a very val-ued and valuable compo-nent of care … that this willbe the amount going for-ward.”

Kennedy said hospiceservices are growing increas-ingly important as the gener-al population ages.

“Those of us at the LHINare keenly aware of thechanging attitudes, changingneeds, and the changingexpectations of patients andtheir families when it comesto end of life care,” she said.“We understand that pallia-tive care is one of the mostcomplex areas of health carethat we face today.”

Kennedy said HospicePrince Edward has been adriving factor as the LHIN

attempts to introduce similarpilot residential hospice sitesacross the region.

“What we've done,through the IntegratedHealth Services Plan, istaken a look at our popula-tion and the needs as theymove forward in age andlooked at the provision ofcommunity hospice servicesthat are available or notavailable today,” she said.“We worked with our part-ners to help support thedevelopment of three, hope-fully, residential hospice sitesacross the region. I'mpleased to work with Hos-pice Prince Edward as thefirst.”

Hospice Prince Edwardexecutive director NancyParks said the fundingannounced will allow theresidential hospice to pro-vide advanced clinical serv-

ices for palliative clients.“Hospice Prince Edward

will also co-ordinate andpartner with Quinte HealthLink, the Prince EdwardFamily Health Team, andother community healthservices, hospital providersand HPE volunteers to pro-vide excellent residentialhospice care for the first timein this area,” she said.

Parks said the generosityof donors allowed the organ-ization to purchase the site ofthe home at 40 Downes Ave.in Picton. She said the homewill have three patientrooms, a family room, akitchen for family use and

barrier-free access. Thedownstairs area of the homewill provide an agency homefor Hospice Prince Edward.

“This home is owned byour community for use byour community,” she said.“Hospice Prince Edward'scommunity campaign has agoal of raising a total of$875,000 to support the cre-ation of the community resi-dential hospice, its program-ming and its ongoing pres-ence in the community. Morethan half — $450,000 — hasbeen raised to date.”

Hospice Prince Edwardboard president Birgit Lang-wisch said the organization

is grateful the LHINapproved funding for theresidential hospice. She saidshe's proud of the volunteersand local community fortheir generosity in support-ing the project through theorganization's fundraisingcampaign.

“In many ways I hadn'tthought, before I gotinvolved with hospice, howevery single person thatdeals with us brings animportant piece to it. It does-n't matter which part of thatyou do, what matters is thatyou do it. It means a greatdeal to us,” she said.

There's clearly support forhospice in Prince EdwardCounty.

All the evidence oneneeds was on display onSunday as more than 300participants took part in thesecond annual Hike for Hos-pice in support of HospicePrince Edward. The charityevent raised more than$41,000 toward the operationof the new residential hos-pice which is set to open itsdoors this June.

It was a beautiful, sunnySunday afternoon for thewalk, which took partici-pants on two-kilometre, five-kilometre, and 10-kilometreroutes through Picton. It alsotook participants past theDownes Avenue facilitywhich will provide end of lifecare for up to three patientsat a time.

Hospice Prince Edwardexecutive director NancyParks said it was a wonderfulweekend for the organization.

“The proceeds we raisedwere astonishing and, what'smore amazing, we actuallyhad more hikers hiking thisyear,” she said.

Parks said so far thisyear's Hike for Hospice hasraised $41,000, but donationscontinue to trickle in.

“It's huge,” she said. “Wehave large community sup-port for this residential hos-pice. Our community reallywants this hospice andthey're showing it throughtheir support.”

Parks said that support is

coming from across the coun-ty — from individuals, busi-nesses, and service clubs.

“Everyone is supportingthis initiative and it's won-derful,” she said.

She said the Hike for Hos-pice is something peoplewant to volunteer forbecause they see the need forthe services that a residentialhospice can provide.

“They see it as a need thatthey might possibly have,but also for their loved ones;for their families and theirfriends in this community,”she said.

This year the family ofBob Willard — a hospice vol-unteer who passed away thisyear — lead the Hike forHospice.

There is no shortage ofstories which exemplify thevalue hospice has to families.Those stories are far-reachingand are a driving factorbehind many hikers' desire to

give back to the organization,Parks said.

“Last year we had one ofour donors, who donated inmemory of his wife, lead theparade. Everybody that is inthis hike is there for a rea-son,” Parks said. “It could bebecause they support hos-pice, it could be becausethey're hiking in memory ofsomeone that hospice sup-ported. Everyone has a storyof why they're hiking.”

Parks thanked the com-munity for all of their sup-port, the volunteers whomade it happen, and all theother groups who donatedtheir time to make the eventa success.

“It takes a lot of time toput this type of event togeth-er,” she said. “We really wantto thank everyone who wasinvolved.”

Linda Middleton — whoalong with Anne Wait co-chaired the organizing com-

mittee for the hike — saideveryone was pleased withthe level of participation.

“The community has beenbehind this venture 100 percent,” she said. “What a won-derful community we live in.It's just so great to see every-one so enthusiastic to contin-ue to support this project.”

She said organizationslike Come Alive Outside, theRotary Club of Picton, andmassages from Trillium Col-lege therapists, as well asmusical performances fromFraser Hardman, JeanetteArsenault, Mark McGreevy,and Sam Hirst helped makethe event special.

“We had lots of thingsthat made it a family event,”she said.

Middleton said eventswhich engage residents serveas inspiration to donate orget involved.

“When people participatelike that they have some senseof ownership in the commu-nity hospice,” she said.

The Family Health Teamwas the largest team contrib-utor, bringing in close to$6,000 for the cause, whileindividual fundraisersAudrey Whitney and DeniseRichmond each brought inover $1,500.

Mayor Peter Mertens —in a proclamation read byPicton councillor Bev Camp-bell — declared May 5–11National Hospice PalliativeCare Week in Prince EdwardCounty.

It was in 1997 when three ofus met somewhere – can’tremember where – and dis-cussed the possibility of cre-ating a birding festival as away to draw birders andtourist dollars into PrinceEdward County. Few of uscan even remember if theBirding Festival came first orwas it the Prince EdwardCounty Field Naturalists, ordid it all happen at the sametime. I do remember over 90

interested people crowdedinto a town hall when welaunched the idea.Both entities have done

exceptionally well since1997. The Prince EdwardCounty Field Naturalists, ofcourse, a driving force rightnow in their effort to recog-nize the County’s SouthShore and its rare alvar habi-tat and staging area for mil-lions of spring and fallmigrants, and protecting itfrom development. The Spring Birding Festi-

val also has accomplishedmuch in its 16 years of exis-tence in drawing attention toa migration point that isrivaled only by Point Pelee.Routinely we see birdershere now from acrossOntario and Quebec, andfrom Michigan, New Yorkand Ohio.So, the Birding Festival

has been a positive thing forthe County as it has broughtin tourism dollars and haspromoted Prince EdwardPoint as a number one bird-ing area in eastern Ontario.

Also, it has increasedexposure for the PrinceEdward Point Bird Observa-tory which is now instru-mental in organizing theannual event. In terms of vis-itors, it will never become aPoint Pelee, and perhaps wedon’t want shuttle buses,and throngs of people insuch numbers there isscarcely a spot for a brownthrasher to perch. Right now,it seems just right. Promot-ing this incredible birdingarea without abusing it.This year ’s festival

features the same high quali-ty roster of events as in pastyears with a few new twists.As in the past, knowledge-able birders will be on handto lead visitors along a num-ber of groomed trailsthrough the Point TraverseWoods, bordered by carpetsof blue phlox, Dutchman’s-breeches and columbines.

Above this maize of wild-flowers will be this almostphantasmagoria in thebranches – up to 25 speciesof warblers, thrushes, fly-catchers, tanagers and ori-oles, just arrived from acrossthe waters of Lake Ontario. Here the birds will rest for

a few days, gorge on midgesand emerging larvae, beforeheading to nesting groundsfarther north. These walkstake place every morningduring the Festival, May 11-20, at 8 a.m. Both Saturdays,there will be evening hikesfrom the Observatory to thelighthouse at 4 p.m.Two workshops will help

birders improve their identi-fication skills.

of feathers to show where abird has travelled. “It’s easy to think of

migrants like wood warblersas ‘our birds’,” Pamelaexplains. “But they may onlybe in our area for a fewweeks each year.

2020 years ago — 1993

Tribunal to shift focus toward human health starting this morningThis morning, Ontario’sEnvironmental Review Tribu-nal will continue its hearinginto Ostrander Point by mov-ing onto the questions of theproject’s potential impact onhuman health.Filed by the Alliance to Pro-

tect Prince Edward County(APPEC) and argued by EricGillespie, the appellant’s casewill be the first to call actualvictims of turbine-relatedhealth illness from Ontario.

It is expected that follow-ing opening statements thismorning (beginning around930 p.m. at the SophiasburghTown Hall in Demorestville),the appellants will call on upto 17 victims and complementthat testimony with evidencefrom medical doctors andacousticians who can explainthe symptoms those individ-uals have suffered.Among APPEC’s chief wit-

nesses to be qualified as an

expert is Dr. RobertMcMurtry, the former chair ofmedicine at the University ofWestern Ontario.APPEC chairman Henri

Garand said the case will alsoinclude testimony from sever-al Prince Edward County res-idents who believe they willsuffer adverse health effectsfrom the turbines.The proponent of the

Ostrander Point site, GileadPower is also expected to call

witnesses it believes willdeny the causal relationshipbetween the victim’s symp-toms and the turbines.Garand indicated the hear-

COMMUNITY SNAPSHOT

Early risErs Members of the POOCH (Patron Of Our County Hospital) group were out in front of the WellingtonLegion prior to 7 a.m. Tuesday to demonstrate as Quinte Healthcare Corporation chief executive officer Mary Clare Egbertsand board chair Brian Smith addressed the Wellington Rotary Club. Smith vowed Prince Edward County Memorial Hospitalwould remain vibrant and said his board had no intention of seeing de-amalgamation on its watch. Many of the protestersfelt they didn’t receive the answers they hoped for from the visiting delegates. (Submitted photo)

FOR many once-promising young hockey players inOntario, it represents the end of the line. Dreams ofhoisting a Stanley Cup have clouded for many Junior Chockey players and the carrot of receiving a scholarshipbased on their skill or climbing the ladder enough tohave a competitive career beyond age 21 becomes far-ther out of reach with every game.

Even now, the reality is that most members of the Pic-ton Pirates Schmalz Cup championship team woke upafter their celebrations last Thursday knowing they’dhave to be in class, at work, or on the farm to catch upon their livelihoods after juggling their schedules to ac-commodate a miracle run. Their reality isn’t bonuses norfame, and in a season, the notoriety of their accomplish-ments may be lost on all but the most dedicated fanswho fill the arenas all year. And they’re the lucky oneswho have moved on past merely stepping off coldschool buses to play before half-filled matchbox arenas.Given those realities, it isn’t always easy for the coachesand managers of Junior C hockey teams to motivatetheir players and keep them on task and united to com-pete for greater glories. It takes a rare kind of teamgroup to rise above adversity and come together for achance to have a winning season.

Beyond that, they play in a level of hockey that isn’talways fair. It isn’t bound by a salary cap and there aremore than 60 organizations across Ontario battling forsupremacy. Some play out of much larger towns withcloser proximity to major cities, which means a deeperplayer base and better access to funds are almost agiven. To many who know the game, it comes as no sur-prise that teams east of Hwy 400 seldom find them-selves mentioned among those competing for — orwinning — the trophy affectionately called Tubby's Mugthrough Ontario hockey circles.

All of that makes the accomplishments of these Pi-rates worthy of celebration across the county.

Over the past few years, the Pirates executive havestepped up their fundraising and marketing efforts, ap-pearing in community events throughout the year.They’ve also regularly brought the players into the com-munity to relate to the people of Prince Edward Countyand to gain pride in the uniform they wear.

Coach and general manager Ryan Woodward andhis staff have spent countless hours increasing theteam’s dedication to practicing and perfecting a sys-tem, while scouting and acquiring proven talent andkey recruits to add to the core his predecessor, our ownJason Parks, put together when the team first tasted suc-cess, knocking off a veteran-laden Napanee team in 2011to win an Empire league championship.

Those players, the ones who have to keep their firefor the game alive amid their many obligations saw theleadership from above and they took it upon themselvesto get results many couldn’t reach.

Their efforts are a special accomplishment andthough the Pirates and their foes are playing better andbetter hockey, there’s no guarantee they or any othereastern Ontario team will win for a long time. We hopethe town, county, and indeed, the region will properlyacknowledge and celebrate visibly in the year ahead.

Consider helping fund APPEC’s legal appealIf hindsight were 20/20, andyou could save somethingthat were valuable to you fora relatively small investment,would you? Of course youwould!

I want you to considerwhat you value about livingin the county. The answerwill be a little different foreach of you but I assumemost of you would valuewhat I call “quality of life”and “quality of place”.

This takes into account awide range of reasons thatpeople choose to live in arural setting but most likelyincludes: peace and quiet,slower pace of life, sense ofcommunity and belonging.Here in the county, we haveall of that and more.Although we are not a "city",we have great restaurants,wineries, theatre, galleries,

festivals, et cetera to rival thelikes of any "city" and we alsohave pastoral landscapes,beautiful viewscapes, thefamous Sandbanks, and somuch more.

The EnvironmentalReview Tribunal is under-way to challenge the Ontariogovernment on the basis ofserious and irreversible harmto the environment and seri-ous harm to human health.

The first, if won, will pro-tect only Ostrander Point.The second, if won, will pro-tect all of the county, and allof Ontario. Legal appeals arecostly but the board ofAPPEC has undertaken, onbehalf of all us of here in theCounty, and on behalf ofeveryone in Ontario, to winthis appeal and it iswinnable. Visit APPEC’s website to find out why.

But take note that previ-ous appeals have not gone asfar as hearing the testimonyof the victims. This appealwill be the first time witnessstatements are heard at a Tri-bunal. What if there is notenough money raised tocover the cost of having thecase heard in its entirety?What if this is our last chanceto save our beloved county?

If you believe that tur-bines do not make sense any-where in Ontario, but least ofall in a tourism area like thecounty, then here is yourchance to help!

Please consider carefullywhat living here is worth toyou. Please include the likelydevaluation of your home orbusiness in that number.How much would youinvest if you knew you hadan excellent chance of being

successful at protecting thosethings you value - both thetangible and the intangible?

Now is the time for action.We are at the 11th hour! It isnot fair for the APPEC boardto shoulder the cost of thelegal appeal that will benefitall of us. So, get out yourcheque book or go onlineand use a credit card andhelp APPEC win this appeal!

If you have already given,thank you, but please do theexercise of determining whatyou would invest and thensee if you can't dig a littledeeper. Please visitwww.appec.wordpress.comor by mail APPEC LegalFund, Box 173, Milford, ONK0K 2P0 Thank you for giv-ing as generously as you can.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

CELEBRATING A CENTURY

The tea was organized by Myrna Martin and was just one ofseveral ways the church has been honouring its century in existence throughout the year. (Chad Ibbotson/Gazette Staff)

A special thank you is inorder to Councillor RobertQuaiff and to most of thecouncillors who supportedhis motion designating PECas an “unwilling host” forindustrial wind turbines(IWTs). I have no doubt thatmaneuvering such a motionthrough this council was notan easy task.

I am still in disbelief bythe arguments, or the deafen-ing silence used by those fivecouncillors (Kevin Gale, BarbProctor, Brian Marisett, KeithMacDonald and Jamie For-rester) for voting againstQuaiff’s motion.

Gale and Proctor seemedto take comfort in their posi-tion that since they didn’tknow what the publicthought on the matter, thenthey felt justified in votingagainst the motion.

What they seem to be say-

ing is – we haven’t paidmuch attention to the issueand since we didn’t surveythe public (like as if they everdid) then we better pleadignorance and vote againstprotecting our community.And they did!

Proctor even refused toprotect her own SouthMarysburgh constituents –who have certainly madetheir opinions known on thismatter! So who was she rep-resenting with her negativevote – herself?

Marisett and MacDonaldwere hoping to get away bysaying nothing. MacDonaldonce had to declare a conflictof interest on all mattersrelating to IWTs and in thelast municipal election hefilled out a questionnaireclaiming to be opposed towind turbines. I guess hehad a change of heart, so

whose interest was he repre-senting? Marisett remainedsilent like many people dowhen they are uncertain ofwhat the best decision maybe. That is his right, but thiswas a time for leadership andwhere was he? Snoring!

Personally, the mostinteresting comments camefrom Jamie Forrester. Fromwhat I can gather he wasstanding up for the peoplewho were afraid to speak upin defense of IWTs, becausethey were being “ganged upon and picked on.” He thendrew a parallel with the timehe grew up in Whitby and“he remembers when theybuilt their nuclear plant andhow people over reacted bymaking claims that no onewould live there.” Heattempted to bring the voiceof personal experience intothe debate – he failed.

I can honestly state that asa past Whitby councillor whosat for a number of years asthe mayor’s representative onthe Durham Nuclear Emer-gency Task Force, there neverwas a nuclear plant built inWhitby! Jamie is obviouslyconfused about where hegrew up.

The job of being a council-lor is often not an easy one.People are elected to expresstheir variety of opinions andexperiences in the hope thatgood decisions are eventual-ly arrived at. They don’t allhave to agree, all of the time.But as of this moment, I haveno idea as to why those fivecouncillors voted no. Theyowe their community at leastthat much, that’s why theywere elected.

What a thrill to follow the“Patch Eyes” on this amaz-ing journey to a hard-earnedprovincial championship.

My work took me to sev-eral countries and manyprovinces over this hockey

season.And as first Wellington’s,

then Belleville's talented jun-ior teams met hard endings,it was more than satisfyingto follow, often at a distance,the peaking courage and skill

of our "Rats".One recent night in a Win-

nipeg pub , a fellow publi-can colourfully and grumpi-ly lamented the collapse ofthe NHL Jets. I was able tocalmly raise my own barley

sandwich to the continuedand serial championships of"my Picton Pirates". And Iactually got a cheer!

May is foot health awarenessmonth and this is when theInternational Federation ofPodiatrists focuses onincreasing the awareness ofthe importance of foot healthamong the general public.Most people take their

feet for granted. But feet arevital to health and mobility,carrying you an average of115,000 miles in a lifetime.No wonder foot problemsare common. As people getolder, these problems can getworse and it is especiallyimportant to care for yourfeet. In older people, footproblems can mean the dif-ference between needing along-term care home andbeing able to live at home.Feet are designed to per-

form two major functions:support and mobility. Theheel of the foot serves as afirm pedestal for standingand the toes and the front ofthe foot are used primarilyfor walking. The flexibilityand strength of your feetaffects how you walk whichin turn affects your postureand how you carry yourweight. Neglected feet whichbecome stiff and weak cancause backache, leg crampsand fatigue. It is important to wear

shoes and socks that fit andthat are comfortable. The foottends to spread in the frontunder the body’s weight aspeople get older. Becausemost shoes are narrower inthe front than the foot itself,

shoes can contribute to avariety of problems. Giveyourself the foot test? Putyour foot down on a piece ofpaper and trace around thebottom to see whether thefront of your foot is widerthan your shoe. If it is, it’stime to go shopping for anew pair of shoes. Basic foot care is also very

important. Soaking andexamining your feet, cuttingyour toe nails regularly etc.Older adults often find thisvery difficult due to otherphysical problems or just theaging process itself. It isimportant to keep your feethappy.Community Care spon-

sors foot care clinics withRegistered Nurses who have

special training in foot careproviding the service. If youneed assistance with yourfoot care contact CommunityCare at 613-476-7493. FootCare clinics are held in Pictonand Wellington.

There were mixed emotionslast week as the PrinceEdward Learning Centresaid goodbye to one if itsmost passionate voices.

Co-workers celebratedPrince Edward LearningCentre (PELC) executivedirector Linda Conley'sretirement on Friday in theLipson Room above Books& Company in Picton;simultaneously saddenedby the depart of colleagueand happy to see her mov-ing on to the next part ofher life. Conley has been adriving force with theorganization for almost twodecades.

PELC instructor LoriFarrington said Conley

built the organization“from the ground up” overher years as executivedirector.

“How the learning cen-tre looks today is due, inlarge part, to her work andher passion. It's not just ajob when you work in liter-acy — you have to believein it,” Farrington said.

Farrington said Conley'spassion for the job wasalways evident; often com-ing to work with big ideasand the drive to accomplishthem.

“We would do it and itwould work,” she said.

While Farrington washappy for Conley, she saidshe's sad to see her leave.

“It's kind of bittersweetbecause of how much she'slooking forward to retire-ment — and fair enough,she's worked really hard —but as an organizationwe're really going to missher and miss the team.We've worked together 15years.”

However, Farringtonsaid change is good.

“Linda would be thefirst one to root for changeand to mix things up,” shesaid.

Added PELC executiveassistant Christine Chap-man, “anyone walkingthrough our door is tryingto change their life.”

Chapman said Conleyknows the communityinside and out and thatknowledge has helped herconnect clients with any-thing they need.

“She's very empathetic,she's not judgmental, andshe really listens to whatthat person who comes toher office really needs andsends them in the rightdirection,” Chapman said.“She is really passionateand always wants to betterthe life of the person whowalks through our thresh-

old. It's really important.”Chapman said when

Conley joined PELC, it wasonly about a year old andwas an offshoot of QuinteLiteracy Group inBelleville. When Conleycame, Chapman said, shebrought with her a differentperspective

“We had a couple ofinterim executive directorsbefore Linda came in. ThenLinda brought a wholeother segment of learningin. She had been doinglabour adjustments inKingston, so she brought inall that talent,” She said.

Chapman said she toowould miss Conley beingpart of the team. Chapmanhas worked with the execu-tive director for all of Con-ley's 18 years with PELC.

“It's been a good team,”she said. “I'm sure it will(still) be a good team.”

Conley said when theorganization started it wasjust a small communityprogram, but has growninto an essential communi-ty service.

“We had maybe 10 stu-dents at the most and nowwe serve up to 100 peoplein a year. We have fourstaff, we have classes, wehave projects — we've real-ly grown over the years,”she said.

After moving threetimes the organizationfound a home in theArmoury in Picton. Conleysaid it's a great space withgreat community partners.

While she's not regularlyin the spotlight, Conley wasvery appreciative of thegesture on Friday.

“I'm thrilled, I really am.I'm not used to being thecentre of attention, but thisis very nice,” she said. “I'mlooking forward to the nextadventure. It will be good.”

While the senior manage-ment of Bayfield TreatmentCentres attempted to reachout to their neighbours Mon-day, it appears people in thecounty’s northwest end areseeking a different type ofcommunication.

At Ameliasburgh TownHall, Bayfield chief operatingofficer Sharlene Weitzmanand director of residentialservices Todd Powellattempted to tell about 50residents how their companyhas responded to incidentsin the past two years of youthrunning away from theirfacilities and striking fear inmembers of the surroundingcommunity in a rash ofproperty crimes.

“The events of the last fewyears in terms of some of ourchildren running away andcausing damage in the com-munity has given us pause tospeak and engage in a moreopen forum with our com-munity,” said Weitzman.

She indicated the public’sconcern reached a boilingpoint with a specific string ofincidents along County Rd.1, where Bayfield claimed itwas unable to learn thespecifics of the activities, norstart dialogue with affectedcommunity members.

Weitzman claimed thatsince Bayfield is not theguardian of the youth, ittook some time for her tolearn the specifics of thecharges against the youthand the damages caused.Even when she did know,she indicated Bayfield wastold not to take action while acriminal investigation wasunder way.

Since, Weitzman said Bay-field has taken a number ofsteps it believes will reducethe risk of runaways causingdamage in the community,adding tools s he believes areunprecedented in theprovince and in Canada.

Bayfield has worked with

its staff to review counsellingprocedures, Weitzman saidshe now personally reviewsevery application for treat-ment at the centre, and it hasmoved some of its olderyouth onto its main campusfrom a community home.

With the help of the pub-lic, Bayfield has also imple-mented the Newsline AlertSystem, an automated callingprogram that alerts interest-ed people about the descrip-tion of an individual believedto be in the public withoutsupervision and the area theperson is believed to be in.

Members of the publicwere critical of Bayfield’s useof that system as somepeople who claimed to havesigned up multiple timesindicated they hadn’t beengetting calls, including onesent out in the Consecon areajust that morning.

Even John Williams, oneof the men who brought thesystem to the area, had hisdoubts about it.

“ It's not the list that's theproblem, the execution is theproblem,” he said. “I didn'tget a call, I'm on the steeringcommittee, on the list.”

Other neighbours, likeTom Livingston, wonderwhy Bayfield wouldn’tdirectly visit neighbours totry to put their minds at ease.

He said there have beentimes when he’s seen heavi-ly-armed police officers onhis farm responding to Bay-field missing persons reportsand viewed Bayfield trucksgoing up and down thestreet, but nobody stopped.

“You should come up tothe door and tell me what ishappening,” he said, addinghe’s also been on the callinglist a long time and has yet toreceive messages.

Another man, whoseproperty was damagedalong County Rd. 1 indicatedhe is still living in fear.

“The environment hasbeen poisoned here. I feelsafer feeling in Toronto thanmy farm. I wonder did I lock

my car, is my wallet in mycar? I don't sleep well. Younever know when somethingis going to happen. Some-body is going to get killed.”

The man requested thatmunicipal officials step for-ward to offer reassurance forresidents that property crimewill not happen before heand a number of othersstormed out of the meetingstating they expect morefrom the company

The question, however, iswhat can be done. Weitzmansaid her staff can counsel res-

idents but due to provincialregulations, they cannotphysically intervene in a situ-ation unless the individualsor others are deemed to be inimminent danger. The staff isalso not expected to followthe youth to private property.

Weitzman also pointedout the facility’s staff-to-client ratios are well aboveprovincial standards, evenduring the night hours.

Residents also asked if themunicipality could protectneighbourhoods throughbylaws tightening restric-

tions on the group homes,but ultimately Mayor PeterMertens denied that, statingthe zoning the homes fallunder is a residential desig-nation, which includes grouphomes of any sort.

“This is an Ontario zoningbylaw, this isn’t a Countybylaw per se,” he said. “Thiscouncil has been looking atthis for two years. We’velooked at every legislativeopportunity to look at set-backs, minimum distancesand controls. Our hands aretied, exactly the same way

theirs are tied under thesocial service requirements.

Mertens said othermunicipalities that tried torestrict saw their decisionsappealed and voted down.

He indicated the only wayto mitigate the homes is towork for a private agreementand in this instance, Bayfieldhas already agreed to notbuild or relocate group homeswithin two kilometres of itsexisting group homes withina half-hour of Consecon.

A Bloomfield man has beensentenced to six years inprison for stabbing hisroommate in the neck andkilling him during an alco-hol-fuelled altercation intheir Stanley Street homelast May.

Justice John Johnstondelivered the sentence toLawrence Markwell at Pic-ton's Superior Court Tues-day morning, citing theremorse shown in a presentence report and duringtrial as part of the reason atarriving at the length ofsentence for the convicted

Markwell was convictedin January, 2013 when ajury of six men and sixwomen found him innocentof second degree murderbut guilty of manslaughter.

The jury felt there wasprovocation when Mark-well plunged a pocket knifeinto Thomas McCormick'sneck, nicking a major arteryand killing his best friendin the home the pair sharedfor close to a decade aroundmidnight on May 1, 2012.

Johnston said he sup-ported the jury's findingsthat both cleared Markwellof the more serious chargeand convicted him of a less-er charge and said it wasvery difficult to develop asentence in such a case.

“His sentence must senda strong message to thecommunity that in a civi-lized society, we will notsanction the use ofweapons in a fight,” John-ston said.

In arriving at his sen-tence, Johnston noted thepair had a close relation-ship that would turntumultuous and toxic whenalcohol was introduced andit was during one of theseinstances where the com-mon physical altercationsbetween the two took atragic turn.

Johnston mentionedthat any sentence must alsoreflect the loss ofMcCormick, although nei-ther a long nor short sen-tence would restore theloss of the slain man to hisfamily.

“Mr. McCormick's deathwas a tragedy,” said John-ston. “Nothing I say todayis meant to minimize Mr.McCormick's death. At thecore of this sentencing hear-ing is the tale of two long-time friends.”

In his view, case lawsubmitted by defence coun-sel Ruth Roberts had somesimilar aspects to the caseat hand but was lackingoverall and this instancewas not a case of batteredspouse syndrome as wassuggested.

“Lawrence Markwellwas not in a trapped posi-tion where he had to residein the home with ThomasMac Cormack,” explainedJohnston.

In granting enhancedcredit for pretrial custody,Johnston pointed to thecontent of the pre sentenc-ing report that paintedMarkwell as a sympatheticfigure full of remorse forhis actions on the morningof May 1, 2012 and believedthat there was no indicationhis actions were part of apattern.

With enhanced one dayfor one and a half day cred-it for his time spent at theQuinte Detention Centreawaiting trial, Markwell'sactual time in federal cus-tody will translate to fourand a half years.

Johnston commendedthe crown and the defence

for their efforts to bring thejudicial process alongquickly.

Outside the courthouseafter Johnston had metedout his sentence, bothcrown and defence counselthought the punishmentwas fair.

“I think it's importantwe express to the publicand Thomas McCormick'sfamily how deeply sorrymy client is for what hap-pened. He wants his condo-lences passed to the familyand if he could have thatmoment back, he would ina second,” Roberts toldreporters. “The mostimportant thing is that theMcCormick family has losta brother, my client has losthis best friend and that'snot going to change.”

Roberts called the penalterm “fair and balanced.”

“We have no issues, myclient felt he's been treatedvery fair through out theentire trial,” she said.

Crown attorney JodiWhyte called Johnston'ssentence “appropriate.”

“I think it's appropriategiven their friendship and(Markwell's) remorse.There were a number offactors in this case that thejudge rightly took intoaccount,” Whyte said.

NOTICE OF STUDY COMMENCEMENTReplacement of the Pearsall Creek Culvert

Class Environmental Assessment and Initial Design

STUDY OVERVIEW

The Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) retained Dillon Consulting Limited to complete the initial design and Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for the replacement of the Pearsall Creek culvert on Highway 62, north of Huff’s Corners in Prince Edward County. It is anticipated Highway 62 will remain open during construction, however it will likely be reduced to one lane with temporary signals used to allow two directions of travel. If periodic closure of the highway is required, a detour will be in place to direct traffic.

THE PROCESS

The study will be completed following the Class Environmental Assessment for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000) for a Group ‘B’ project. The study will identify the most appropriate method to replace the culvert and will assess the impacts, including traffic management during construction and impacts to the natural environment. A report documenting the study process will be available for review at the end the study. If during the study it is determined there are no significant environmental effects associated with the project, the MTO may decide to step-down the project to a Group ‘C’. If this is the case, a notice will be published in local newspapers advising of the change and a study documentation report will be completed for MTO’s internal use.

PUBLIC AND AGENCY CONSULTATION

Public and agency consultation is an important component of the study. It is anticipated that a Public Information Centre (PIC) will be held once a recommended method for replacing the culvert has been identified and impacts of the project have been assessed. A notice of PIC will be published in local newspapers. If you would like to be contacted directly prior to the PIC, please contact Dillon at the address below and request to be added to the contact list. Additional information on the project is available at www.EastOntarioBridges.ca.

We spent last summer talk-ing and writing about man-aging gardens and lawns indrought conditions. Earlythis spring we focused onhelping our lawns and gar-dens fully recover from lastyear’s drought.

Now after two dry weeksthe long range weather fore-casts provide little hope forsignificant rain in the near fu-ture. When lack of rain sig-nificantly impacts gardeningeither because of the lack ofwater due to the limitation ofavailable wells or the cost ofusing increasingly more ex-pensive municipal water,what are the alternatives?

Thinking back to lastsummer and the amount ofadditional bucket haulage towater remote new shrubs,trees and planters, themulching, and the moving ofhoses, what could be done toreduce the amount of extrawork? The first thing I didwas cancel an order for anew tree. Last summer Ibegan increasing my supplyof soaker hoses trying to de-cide which are best for whatparts of my garden in termsof dispersing and not wast-ing a precious commodity,water. I will now purchasemore. As well, when talkingto a friend, I discovered thathe is seriously consideringputting a tank on a four footplatform near his gardenand having it filled withwater occasionally by thetanker trucks in the countyover the summer so he couldmaintain his vegetable gar-den.

What I remember of thecounty in the late ‘70s is oneparticularly bad droughtyear, but it was also part of aseries of years with less thanoptimal rain. Given the highpossibility of yet anotheryear of drought, are there

other solutions, what couldbe pared back, reduced or in-creased to make coping withdrought easier?

Certainly more soakerhoses would reduce thenumber of moves required towater minimally. Perhaps in-stalling an irrigation systemin the vegetable and smallfruit gardens along withmore intensive planting infewer beds would work aswell. Heavy compostingunder the mulch would pro-vide more water absorbentmaterial thus decreasing theneed for watering frequency.

Plants that droop firstwhen not watered can be re-placed by drought tolerantperennials and annuals.Using less water is such apopular environmentally ac-ceptable approach that boththe Internet and books carrylong lists of possible plant re-placements. A recent articleon a cottage garden alsolisted some excellent choicesof sun loving floweringplants and grasses that aremore tolerant to droughtconditions.

If the plan for a minimalcare garden is successful

even when rain is lacking,the reward for the gardeneris less worry and more freetime. You could just use thetime to sit and look at yourgarden and dream.

If sitting is not your thing,you could use your sparetime to focus on creatingsomething you have alwayswanted in your garden. Forexample, it could be a recy-cling fountain or a minimalwater use pond.

Perhaps you have alwayswanted rock walls or path-ways. If you are really handyyou could do it yourself orfind someone to do it withyou. Perhaps your prefer-ence is a rail fence instead.

It could be a green housethat has filled your dreams,now you have time to look atoptions around use and af-fordability. You could spendthe summer planning a bet-ter garden either with a spe-cific theme or a moredrought-resistant design.

Would you like to take aholiday from your garden?You could spend time look-ing at other gardens andgathering ideas. Alterna-tively, you could do all thethings you never find timefor because you do so muchgardening. You could takeup kayaking or pottery orwalking on the countybeaches.

The threat of yet anotherdrought is also a window tothe possibility of change toundertake a more environ-mentally friendly way of gar-dening and/or to enjoy lifeand gardening more.

A Prince Edward Countyman pled guilty to fraudcharges totalling around$32,000 in Picton's ProvincialCourt on Wednesday.

James Miller was beforeJustice Geoff Griffin and ad-mitted he defrauded a num-ber of businesses both in andoutside of Prince EdwardCounty as well as a formeremployee.

As part of the plea agree-ment and the sentence pro-posal drafted by Crownattorney Mike Lunski anddefence attorney BruceCampbell, Miller washanded a nine-month condi-tional sentence to be served

in the community followedby an 18-month probationterm.

As part of that sentence,Miller paid over $19,000 tobusinesses and individualshe defrauded over the pastfive years on Wednesday andwill start paying the balanceof the funds owed this fall ina quarterly payment planthat will last as long as hisprobation period.

In accepting the co-opera-tively developed sentence,Griffin said Miller's actionsstrike at the heart of a smallcommunity and shake thesense of trust, pride and fam-ily in a small agriculture com-munity like Prince EdwardCounty.

“That a member of the

community would steal hasshaken the faith in the com-munity,” Griffin said.

“This shaking of faith ismore significant because itcame against small busi-nesses and individuals, notlarge corporations.”

Lunski said there was dif-ficulty in developing the sen-tence being offered becausethere is a sense Miller shouldbe going to real jail and serv-ing a penal sentence.

However, such a sentencewould not allow for timelyand full restitution to the vic-tims.

“He could have declaredbankruptcy, possibly spentsome time in jail and thenmoved away to another com-munity, perhaps to Alberta

where he has made goodmoney before as a heavyequipment operator,” Camp-bell said. “He's instead cho-sen to do what's right bystaying and facing the issueand taking the hard road.”

Griffin agreed Millercould have eluded the court,declared bankruptcy and fledthe community and the jus-tice noted his willingness toattend court and pay back thevictims.

He said he also under-stood Lunksi's commentsabout Miller receiving jailtime.

“It's hard not to put JamieMiller in actual jail, he's wor-thy of jail but in some waysthat would be easier on him,”Griffin said. “He could go in

there, hide, serve his time...Itwill be much harder on himto put him in the communityand face some of the peoplehe's victimized. It's also theonly way restitution will bepaid and if he' doesn't meetthose obligations or staywithin the conditions set outtoday, he will be going tojail.”

As part of the sentence,Miller is to remain in theprovince Ontario, maintainemployment, abstain fromalcohol, participate in anycounselling prescribed by thecourt or officer of the court.

He is to reside at an ap-proved residence and not tobe anywhere else other thenfor the purposes of employ-ment, medical emergencies

or other court matters.Griffin said is was difficult

to understand how Millerended up in this situation.

“It's hard to understandhow we got here today. Fromwhat I can tell you are not ad-dicted to any drugs or livingbeyond your means, ad-dicted to some lavish lifestyleas can be the case in these sit-uations,” Griffin said.

Miller's only reply wasthat he got himself into “realfinancial problems.”

The original tab onMiller's fraud charges wasoriginally set at $39,000, how-ever, a bill owing wortharound $6,000 was settled inthe days leading up toWednesday's plea and sen-tencing.

County man must pay back $32,000 he gained from frauds committed against businesses and former employeeJason Parks

Don Carr, a representative ofof a citizens’ group in the areaof Redersville Road and OldOrchard Road said he hasfound some peace in work-ing with Bayfield in an at-tempt to address issues.“It was a very heated

start,” he said. “You canimagine us experiencing forthe first time an organizationand a business were behindsome of the experiences ourresidents were having in thearea — but there has beenprogress.”Carr said his group has

been able to reach the agree-ment with Bayfield aboutseparation between grouphomes and it’s also champi-oned the Newsline.He also noted it is impor-

tant to recognize all Bayfieldresidents are not causingproblems and the centres areworking on the issues.“This is not a hundred

kids in running loose in thecounty,” he said. “It is a smallpercentage of troublemakers,just as there is in all aspects of

society.”Carr added typically the

runaways happen during theday before night medicationis given and in most cases,the children can be identifiedby their lack of footwear.He stressed the Newsline

along with its co-founderMike Batty as the most reli-able means of communica-tion on the issue.“Given that runaways are

inevitable and legislative ac-tion in the county is limited,the Newsline it all we have,”Batty said. “It lets us know togird our loins, lockdown ourproperty, look out for ourfamily, and get the childrenrecovered as soon as possible.It’s in everyone’s best inter-est’.”The number to be added

to the Newsline is 613-392-3551 ext. 241.When asked about the

high cost to taxpayers for po-lice response to the incidents,Powell said Bayfield has noinfluence on the police re-sponse, they simply file amissing person’s report.The County’s police serv-

ices board chair, Robert

Quaiff, was in attendancehowever and said the OPPhas just developed a daily ac-tivity report number to coin-cide with Bayfield activity. Italso now has a community li-aison offcier dedicated to thefacility. In the last six months, he

said it appears police spent$20,000 on investigationsconnected to individualsthere, but the liaison officercould help reduce calls.While its evident Bayfield

is dealing with more difficultyouth and is seeing more re-strictions from above abouthandling them, some resi-dents appear to be losing pa-tience with the system.Livingston said he’s livednear the centre for 40 yearsand tension is increasing. Hedidn’t feel Monday’s meet-ing helped matters.“People felt talked down

to and saw this turned backon us,” he said, adding manyare afraid the violence couldstill escalate. “Definitelyfear plays a large part. Weshouldn’t feel the need tolock everything up every dayof our lives.”

Phone system touted as best safety feature

The county's marinas were abustling arena of anglers asthe Kiwanis Walleye WorldLive Release Fishing Derbykicked off open season onwalleye and pike over theweekend.The Quinte region's signa-

ture fishing event regularlyattracts hundreds of anglersfrom across the province toPrince Edward County andsurrounding communities. Taking home the top prize

was Rob Wengel with his11.92-pound walleye. Secondin the senior walleye categorywent to John Grills for his11.3-pound fish, and third toJeff Lupton at 11.06.First place in the senior

pike category went to SeanRobinson for his 13.44-poundfish, second to Colin Wolseyat 13.07, and third to ShawnBrummell at 12.89.In the junior categories

Tynika Williams reeled in an8.84-pound fish to win thejunior walleye category, whileBraeden Palmer took hometop prize for his 10.05-poundpike.None of the tagged fish

were caught.Kiwanis member and Pic-

ton resident Rod Hollowaysaid the weigh station wasfairly busy on Saturdaymorning. He said this is hisfirst year volunteering at thederby and he was enjoying

the sunshine.“It is beautiful. I've heard

people say this is really goodcompared to other years,” hesaid. “I don't mind it at all.”He said early on Saturday

the biggest fish he'd weighedwas close to 11 pounds. Hesaid there were a lot of com-

ments from passersby abouthow big the fish coming intothe weigh station were.Although the prizes, fish,

and fun may draw thecrowds, Holloway under-scored the reason Kiwanishold the event every year.“Kiwanis, we're trying to

raise money for kids projects.I'm a retired teacher, so I'm re-ally interested in the welfareof kids and I'm glad to be partof this,” he said. “It's a real op-portunity to do something forthe community and for chil-dren.”South Porcupine resident

George Bernard made close toa nine-hour drive to Picton totake part in the event. He saidit was his second year enter-ing the derby.“I enjoy it a lot. I'm making

plans to book a cabin everyyear for the next five years,”he said.

He said the fishing is a lit-tle slower here than in SouthPorcupine, which is just out-side of Timmins, but said thelake system is bigger here.“We've got a pretty good

wind blowing through heretoo, so that makes a differ-ence,” he said.Bernard said the water-

ways were jammed withboats as anglers looked totake advantage of the beauti-ful weather throughout Sat-urday and Sunday.“There are about 40 (boats)

just at the dock we're at,” hesaid.Oshawa resident Brandon

Van Asten said he's an avidfisherman who loves fishingfor pike and muskie. This isthe fourth time Van Asten hasentered the Kiwanis derby. “I love it — especially sea-

son opener; get the boat wet,get the lines wet for the firsttime. It's good,” he said. “Weusually launch here and fishout in Picton Bay, up to thelake and Hay Bay. Tomorrowwe'll try some new water nearBelleville.”Early Saturday morning

Van Asten brought two pikein to the Picton weigh station;one weighing 7.65 poundsand the other 8.48. “Hopefully this afternoon

we'll get a few bigger fish andbe in contention. We didn'tthink those ones would winanything, but you neverknow,” he said. “It's a goodday for fishing all around.”He said another fish

caught his eye, however.

Pitching powers Panthers past Titans in battle of unbeaten teams

stingy thrower Matt Gallo allowed just onehit through four innings as he led the PECI Panthers past St.Theresa Monday night. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

PECI manufactures just enough offence to defeat defending champions

With the pitching MattGallo and Bob Wilson pro-vided the PECI PanthersMonday against the St.Theresa Titans, most of theother potential stories inthe game just didn't matter.The duo of veteran

moundsmen compiled afour-hitter over seven in-nings as the Panthersstayed unbeaten by hand-ing the defending Bay ofQuinte champs a 3-1 loss,their first this year."That's the storyline,"

said Panthers coach MattRonan. "We threw twice theamount of strikes as balls. Itallowed our pitchers tokeep their batters off bal-ance and they dominatedthe game. When you re-ceive a four-hitter, you re-ally can't ask for more from

them."After Gallo and his op-

posite number Nick Mc-Taggart kept the gameknotted through an inning-and-a-half, the Panther of-fence would find all theruns it needed in the bot-tom of the second inning.George Goddard startedthings off for the home sidewith a hard-hit, one-outtriple to the rightfieldfence. The Panthers' nextbatter, Scott McQuaid wonan extended dual with Mc-Taggart, finally belting anRBI single down the line inleft field. Ultimately, hewould also score in the in-ning as Riley McConnelldropped a fly ball into leftfield between three Titans.Gallo showed a momen-

tary chink in his armour inthe third inning as he al-lowed the Titans to fill thebases with a Trevor Walsh

single followed by an outand consecutive bases onballs to Dawson Whyte andCorey Farrell. He kept hiscomposure, however, andgot two batters to fly outwithin the infield to pre-serve the lead."A couple of errors got

me flustered, but I eventu-ally got my head back intoit and started throwingstrikes," said Gallo.Added Ronan: "I gave

him the nickname JohnnyDrama back a ways and westarted with the basesloaded and one out. To getthose last two outs is huge.It was great by Matt — agut check and he stayedstrong and finished. He's aguy who has been pitching(in the league) for threeyears, he knows how tohandle those situations."After four innings, Gallo

would give way to Wilson

having given up just onehit and striking out twobatters.The Titans wouldpick up their first run of thegame in the fifth inning asWalsh cashed in a runnerwith a sacrifice fly. The Panthers would an-

swer back in the bottom ofthe inning, however,though they didn't take fulladvantage of St. Theresa'srelief pitching. After PhilSeguin reached base onballs, Kyle Gould doubledinto left field to place himon third base. Gouldwould miss his sign, how-ever, and be called outgoing to third base asSeguin held his spot. Gallohelped his own cause for awin with a well-hit RBI sin-gle to right field, but wascaught stealing ending therally in progress.

But all we have are memories,And his picture in a frame.

It’s been 10 long years without you,For you were someone specialWho was thought so highly of,Who’ll always be rememberedWith affection, warmth and love.So sending thoughts to HeavenOn the day you went away,

And hope you know you’re missedMore than words could say.

Lovingly remembered byyour family.

The clock was reset to 19:47remaining in the third pe-riod of Game 1 with thescore 2–1 for the Pirates.The 73's had some jump

and Chad Hendrick wasable to find the back of thenet to even the score.Six minutes later Cole

Bolton got a head of steamdown the wing and came inalone on Essex goaltenderTrevor Wheaton. Boltonfired a swift wrist shot thatclanged off the post and into give Picton the leadagain.The 73's wouldn't let up

and at 12:29 Kenny Mur-duff took a tripping penaltythat proved to be costly. Onthe ensuing man advantageAaron Thibert was able tobeat Picton goalie AndrewPearson to again eventhings up. The game wentto overtime.As the 73's put some

pressure on the Picton de-fence the puck squirted toan Essex forward sifting infrom the wall. He fired ashot that went under Pear-son's right pad. There wasa roar of cheers from theEssex players both on theice as well as the bench asthey thought they'd tastedvictory. As Pearson liftedhis pad the puck wasclearly wedged under it.You could almost hear thecollective heart of Essexthud to the ground.Woodward said the mo-

ment was a wake-up callfor the Pirates.“We were on our heels

too much and we needed toregain momentum,” hesaid. “The guys responded

the right way.”Minutes later there was

a faceoff in the Essex zone.Mitchell Smith fired thepuck to the net and EricHayes drove it home togive Picton the Game 1win.After the ice was cleared

and the anthem sung, thepuck was dropped forGame 5 with the Piratesleading the series 3–1.Five minutes into the

first period Jordan Ryanbeat Pearson to make it 1–0and an elated crowd fellsilent. The remainder of thefirst period was full of bat-tles, and of stellar perform-ances in goal from bothPearson and Wheaton.

The 73's took the slimlead into the second period,but again they came outand put the pressure onPicton. After making three10-bell saves in tight, a re-bound off Pearson squirtedto the side where ScottBromley waited. He firedthe shot high to the shelfover a sprawling Pearsonbefore diving into the glassin front of an incensedcrowd of Picton fans.Just five minutes later,

those incensed fans wouldbe elated.With Essex ahead 2–0

they began to take undisci-plined penalties. The Pi-rates were given a gloriouschance to get back in the

game with a five-on-threepower play due to a check-ing from behind penalty toMarco Canzoneri and atripping penalty to DylanSolecki (both players wereultimately ejected from thegame).Jack Davison found

some open ice at the side ofthe Essex goal. He calledfor the pass and fired arocket past Wheaton to getthe Pirates on the board.“We needed a goal be-

fore the end of the secondperiod and once Jack Davi-son was able to get us onthe board, the guys camealive. We started to pressand we were moving ourfeet well,” Woodward said.The Pirates had momen-

tum on their side to openthe third period, but weredenied on several excellentchances. In the end, it wasa couple of pucks thatWheaten should have hadthat got the Pirates the vic-tory.At 12:22 of the third

Mitchell Smith walked outfrom the wall and fired apuck on net that dribbledslowly through Wheaton'slegs and into the net.Under two minutes later

Levi George rushed in onWheaton fired a shot thatWheaton saved, but Georgepicked up the rebound andfired a back hand short sidethat beat the Essex goal-tender. It was all the scor-ing the Pirates would need

as they played out the re-maining six minutes of thegame to the roar of biggestcrowd at the Prince Ed-ward Community Centre inrecent memory.“The fans did a fantastic

job of creating energy inthat building. It was asloud as I've ever heard it inPicton. They were defi-nitely a part of that gameand the players were ableto feed off that,” Wood-ward said.Woodward said the final

six minutes of the gameseemed to fly by as bothteams continued to pushthe pace. Even as the sec-onds ticked down, Essexcontinued to attack.“The guys were watch-

ing the clock, but they werestill focused until the end,”he said.Pirates forward Evan

Greer seemed to be at theheart of the series. In thefive games of the final hehad 11 points.As the Pirates celebrated

their Schmalz Cup victoryGreer said he couldn't ex-plain the feeling.“I don't even know what

to say. Our whole team bat-tled hard. Andrew Pearsonwas phenomenal; couldn'thave done it without him,”he said.Also, the Game 1 replay

came because Greer contin-ued to play after beingcalled for three stick infrac-tions. Greer said it was agreat feeling to see the teampull out the win in the re-play.“It felt great. I couldn't

even watch the game to behonest,” he said. “To seethem do that for me, I'mjust speechless.”Pirates defenceman and

captain Brandon Peever de-scribed the feeling as sur-real.“I can honestly say it

hasn't hit me yet, but it'sjust a lot of excitement herewith boys and words can'teven explain what's goingon right now,” he said.Peever pointed to the

support of the fans as asource of inspiration for theteam.“I've never seen the Pic-

ton arena as jam packedand as noisy as it is tonight.I can't thank the fansenough for cramming intohere just for us tonight,” hesaid.Pearson said it took a lot

of hard work to get the winand to have the success theteam has seen all seasonlong.“It was an amazing way

to end the season. Weworked for it. We're apretty skilled group of guysand we're lucky to havesome players we do have,”he said. “We came to prac-tice ready to work and ourcoaching staff reallypushed us. This just makesit all worth it.”

"We made three key mis-takes there," he said. "Weneed to be sharp and getmore jump if we want towin against that team in thefuture."

Still, Wilson managed tosave the win as he didn't letanother runner into scoringposition.

In all, Ronan said he waspleased with his team'seffort in an important gameas the Panthers look downthe stretch with games

Jeanne Campbell will use atried and tested processwhen she begins her work asthe artist-in-residence at St.Andrew's PresbyterianChurch this Sunday.

She'll let her creativitytake over, rely on her keen in-stinct of colour, and coura-geously let her work take herwhere it goes — and ulti-mately, she'll be counting onher risks to deliver beauty.

Campbell studied art atRyerson University and fromseveral other artists she ad-mires, but says she is mostlyself taught. Her experiences,she says, come from thechances she's taken in thename of trying somethingdifferent artistically.

After recently moving toPicton from the Napanee areaand joining the St. Andrew'scongregation, Campbellshowed Rev. Lynn Donovanthe spirit she says might helpthe faithful come to a newunderstanding of the mys-tery they seek to share morefully.

"What excites me so muchabout Jeanne is her playfulspirit... the holy spirit in tra-dition is playful and unpre-dictable," Donovan said,explaining that throughCampbell's outlook on art,she can encourage othermembers of the communityto see life in different, colour-ful ways.

In essence, Donovan saidthat while an artist-in-resi-dence might be an unheardof distinction for manychurches, it is really a throw-back to Christianity's earliesttimes.

"Before the Reformation,art and beauty was at theheart of Christianity," shesaid. "The Church was a pa-tron of the arts, and the ma-jority of art waschurch-based. The time cameand that changed. Protestantslimited expressions of beautyto one thing, the ear."

Donovan reasoned thatmany Protestant churcheslimited visual art inside theirholy buildings simply tostained glass, considering re-ligious images as idols. Shesaid many forms of art canshow the beauty of faith, notjust those that might be con-

sidered religious. At St. An-drew's, Donovan said thecommunity is going to try toembrace more sources of in-spiration.

"It's about time we startedusing all the senses," she said,noting the community haslong used her husband PhilNorton's colourful photo-graphs as part of its worshipsessions as well.

With that, she approachedCampbell about being artist -in-residence, knowing fullywell that unlike other churchprojects like the Ten Thou-sand Villages store or Reach-ing For Rainbows, she didn'texactly know where this onewas heading.

That was just fine byCampbell.

"I sort of like to workunder the radar and am notreally the one to step up, butthis is the perfect opportunityto do it," she said. "There areno definitions, I'm just goingfor it."

The one thing for sureabout the position is thatCampbell will oversee theCourage to be Colourful art

show, which will open June 8.The project will include dec-orating the back walls of thechurch sanctuary with worksfrom more than 20 congre-gants, invited communitymembers, and Reaching ForRainbows participants thatshow colour.

The art will stay in thechurch until the jazz festivalweekend, allowing visitors tothe church to contemplate theworks and to be inspired bythem. Over that course oftime, the facility will be opento many visitors for a sum-mer cultural series and a hostof concerts. The show willalso offer a chance for patronsto contact artists about com-missions and private sales.

Beyond the show, Camp-bell's year-long post may in-clude several tasks as shegoes along, such as offeringarts workshops for the com-munity or envisioning newways to bring the beauty ofthe Easter season to the phys-ical church. Donovan saidshe's interested in the impactthose workshops may haveon some of the older mem-bers of the congregation inparticular.

"We're talking about peo-ple who live on this side ofthe lines, now we'll see whatthey can do when they gooutside of them," she said.

Added Campbell: "Itmeans stepping out, taking arisk, and fooling around — it'shaving fun and if it isn't fun,then why are we doing it?"

New Fund to Help Innovative CompaniesGrow - The Ontario government is moving for-ward with its plan to create a new venture capitalfund that will help innovative start-ups and otheremerging companies get the financing they needto build competitive businesses and create to-morrow’s jobs. The Ontario government willcontribute up to $50 million to the new fund,which is part of the government’s plan to fosterthe right climate to attract investment, supportinnovation, create jobs and grow the economy.This new fund will build on the province’s suc-cessful Ontario Venture Capital Fund (OVCF)which invests in Ontario-focused funds that sup-port growing companies. Created in 2008, theOVCF has leveraged $750 million in privatecapital. For further information, visit:http://www.ovcf.com/New Resource for Specialty Crop Growers -Growers in Ontario have a new resource to helpthem choose and grow a wide range of specialtycrops called “SPECIALTY CROPportunities”.The Ministry of Agriculture and Food and theMinistry of Rural Affairs staff along with Uni-versity of Guelph colleagues assembled a teamof researchers from the University of Guelph,Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Erie Inno-vation and Commercialization, and Vineland Re-

search and Innovation Centre to pull together allof the available research on specialty crops andprovide a single resource for growers. Initiallythe resource includes specific information on100 specialty crops, which will be expandedover the next few years. Growers looking for in-formation pertaining to a specific crop can usethe crop category selection or alphabetical croplist to locate a profile on that crop. Each profilesummarizes background information on thecrop, its growth habit, and specific agronomicinformation such as plant spacing, fertility, irri-gation, soil type, harvest, and storage require-ments. It also includes information on pests ofthat crop, such as a listing of existing and poten-tial pests, notes on potential pest impacts, andhow to find more information on pest manage-ment. Finally, the profile lists any research proj-ects conducted on that crop in Ontario and otherreferences used to create the profile. If a groweris unsure of what they want to grow, they can usethe Crop Selection Tool to narrow down the listof specialty crops to those specifically suited totheir preferences and growing conditions. Theresource can be found athttp://www.omafra.gov.on.ca/CropOp/en/index.html. This project was funded by Agri-Food andRural Link, a program of the Ontario govern-ment and University of Guelph Partnership.

Prince Edward County ishome to three new firetrucks.

The trucks — twopumpers and one tanker —have been added to thePrince Edward County FireDepartment’s fleet of fire-fighting vehicles with thepurpose of improvingemergency response times,increasing safety measuresfor firefighters and enhanc-ing overall operations ofthe fire department.

The trucks were formal-ly unveiled by the PrinceEdward County firedepartment at the MutualAid meeting in Wellingtonon Thursday evening withmembers of County counciland both local and neigh-bouring firefighters onhand.

“Public safety is theCounty’s top priority,” saidPrince Edward CountyMayor Peter Mertens. “Weare committed to ensuringour firefighters areequipped with the latestequipment, designed tokeep our residents safe.”

In 2012, councilapproved a 10-year capitalplan, designed to retire andreplace the department’svehicles. A bidding processwas held in 2012 andDependable EmergencyVehicles of Brampton,Ontario was contracted toprovide the two pumpertrucks and one 1,800-gallon

tanker. The trucks weredelivered in early 2013 for atotal cost of $662,550. Thepumpers are located inAmeliasburgh (Rossmorestation) and Bloomfield(Mallory station), and the

tanker is servicing the Hal-lowell region (Heights sta-tion). Cost, design, warran-ty, service and deliverywere key considerations inselecting the manufacturer.

The new trucks will

replace two 27-year oldpumpers and one 30-yearold tanker. In addition toproviding increased safetymeasures, the new truckswill reduce the fire depart-ment’s vehicle maintenancecosts, positively impact theCounty’s insurance under-writer’s rating, and sup-port the County’s strategic

plan objective of providingan efficient, effective andresponsive municipal gov-ernment.

With the 10-year plancurrently underway, newtrucks will be added on ayearly basis at a costalready accommodated inthe annual budget.

“On behalf of the fire

department, I would like tothank County Council fortheir support by approvingthe 10-year plan for thereplacement of the firedepartment’s vehicles,”said County fire chief ScottManlow. “These new vehi-cles will serve the commu-nity for a number of yearsto come.”

Spring Birding Festival celebrates migrating birds at Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory, May 11th – 20th

What better place to see spring birds than at Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory – more birds migrate through Prince Edward County than anywhere else on the north shore of Lake Ontario. For many visitors, the highlight of the season is seeing wood warblers, the brilliantly-coloured birds often described as the butterflies of the bird world. The Observatory has them in abundance.

The Spring Birding Festival makes it easy to see the many migrants of Prince Edward County. Knowledgeable volunteers will lead bird hikes through Traverse Woods (Prince Edward Point) daily from the 11th to the 20th, starting at 8:00 a.m. On Saturday May 11th and Saturday May 18th, there will also be birding hikes from the Bird Observatory to the Lighthouse at 4:00 p.m. On Sunday, May 19 at 8 am meet at the Mariners’ Museum for a guided driving tour of some of the birding hotspots in the County. This event is sponsored on by the Prince Edward County Field Naturalists. The fee for each event is $5 and pre-registration is not required.

The Spring Birding Festival is a wonderful way for families to participate in the world’s fastest -growing pastime. Children are always fascinated by the banding demonstrations (daily at the banding lab, 10:00 a.m. – noon). There will be children’s activities, bird-friendly coffee, soup and light refreshments at the hospitality tent daily from 9:30 – 12:30 a.m., as well as a selection of merchandise to purchase.

Bird photographers can enter their work in the photography competition. The deadline for entries is May 25th and work will be displayed at AV Frame and Photo on Main Street in Picton.

Two workshops will help birders improve their identification skills. On Saturday, May 11th, Terry Sprague will present Warblers I Have Known and Loved, 11 am – 1 pm. On Saturday, May 18th, Pamela Stagg will lead a workshop called Look Way Up – Raptor Identification, 2 – 4 pm. The workshops will be presented at Jackson’s Falls Schoolhouse B&B. The fee for each program is $25 and pre-registration is recommended.

On Wednesday, May 15 at 7:30, there will be free presentation at Bloomfield Town Hall called Techno-birding. Presented by Pamela Stagg, the program will show how our understanding of birds is increasing dramatically through the use of technologies such as bird banding networks, radar and radio-tracking – even radio-isotope analysis of feathers to show where a bird has travelled.

Let Mom relax and get pamperedIt's not easy for Mom to look

genuinely delighted when Dad andthe kids, full of smiles and secrets,hand her -- for the fourth year in arow -- the infamous Mother's Daybox of chocolates, along with lots ofpromises ("Mom, you'll be queen forthe day! By the way, what's forbreakfast?"). Though she tries hard,her best efforts at saying "It's justwhat I wanted" are getting lessemphatic as the years go by.

But it's true: Moms can be veryhard to buy for. So what's a dad orkid supposed to do? We have a fewideas on what Mom really wants,and how to give her a day she willnot soon forget!

Plan AheadThis is an occasion that should

focus on Mom and make her feelreally special -- like the sun risesand sets on her! Try to think of whatshe has mentioned throughout theyear. You should be making notes ofthese subtle comments monthsahead, so keep a running list.

If you hear her mention herlove of tulips, don't bring homecarnations.

Pamper HerIf there is any special time in

Mom's life to show her yourappreciation, this is it. A manicure,pedicure, facial or any other activityin which she can relax without acare in the world would be perfectfor this day.

Let Her RelaxIf Mom's not into a spa treatment

(or if she's already treated herself),give her some time alone. Pick up acouple of her favourite DVDs, a stackof magazines she loves or a new bookrelease -- and let her have a few hoursof real me time. If you really want togive her a break, pack up the kids andvisit the grandparents or friends for afew hours and let her have the houseto herself.

Give what she wantsMother's Day is the time to

show your mom you understand andappreciate her. So tailor your giftaround what she likes -- or dislikes.

If she likes to shop, buy her a giftcertificate for her favourite store. Ifshe hates weeding the garden,surprise her by doing the chore forher.

Think outside the familyDon't forget all the other moms

you know, especially those withoutpartners. Send those moms you lovecards or call them and wish them ahappy Mother's Day.

A girl's gotta eatMom doesn't need to be chef

and dishwasher on her special day.Make reservations, order herfavourite takeout meal or pick upgroceries and cook a nice dinner forher at home.

The bottom lineJust let her know how much you

love her and how much youappreciate everything she does foryou all year long -- it's the best giftof all.

Joyous arrIval A member of the Quinte Pedal for Hope team rides into PECIMonday morning for a visit at the local secondary school. The team has raised over $100,000for pediatric cancer research in the past two years. (Jason Parks/Gazette staff)

The Pedal for Hope teampedaled around Prince Ed-ward County this pastweek, bring their messageof awareness and fundrais-ing for pediatric cancer re-search to local elementaryand secondary schools.

The high energy presen-tation that features local andregional police officersstopped by all seven publicelementary schools, St.Greg’s Catholic school andPECI over a three day span.

Students and staff partic-ipate in a number of eventsincluding an ice cream eat-ing contest and head shav-ing contest.

Those activities helplighten the mood becausepediatric cancer is a toughtopic to talk about.

“It's a message that ispretty sombre but we alsowant to make the kids real-ize the power that they haveto help the kids with can-cer,” Belleville Police Sgt.Julie Forestell told theGazette after the group hadjust visited PECI.

The local secondaryschool not only raised$1,000 for the 2013 Pedal forHope campaign but alsoover $2,700 for the family ofSarah Reddick.

A PECI student, Reddickis currently battling acutemyeloid leukaemia andnine students includinggraduating student KristenPiper doffed their locks insupport of Sarah.

“It's absolutely incredi-ble for them to offer to havetheir heads shaved to raisemoney for the Reddick fam-ily,” PECI educator GreerKoutroulides said. “ForKristen, this is a huge com-mitment. She has prom andgrad photos coming up butshe was going to supportSarah no matter what.”

Reddick received a daypass from the hospitalwhere she is recoveringfrom her latest treatmentand couldn't say enoughabout the Pedal for Hopeteam and her fellow stu-dents.

“To me Pedal for Hope isa reflection of the lovingand caring environmentthat PECI and the County is.

It shows the strength,power and determinationbehind our school and theriders. Being able to raise$1000 for pediatric cancerresearch is fantastic. Thesupport my family and Ihave received from theschool and community hasbeen incredible,” Reddicksaid.

In two years, Pedal for

Hope locally has raised over$100,000 for pediatric Can-cer research and membersof the Quinte team willtravel over 400 km, visiting26 schools.

Originating in the Peter-borough area in 2005, thePedal for Hope campaignhas raised $1.3 million inCentral Ontario to find anend to childhood cancers.
