While Cherry Valley may not have an abundance of its historic namesake, the little village is not short on history. The Athol recreation committee presented the second annual Cherry Valley Jubilee on Saturday with focus on the history of the area and strengthening community ties to the past. The event began Friday night with a concert at Cherry Valley United Church where 100 people gathered to listen to a concert from Jennifer Castle and duo Andrew Whiteman and Ariel Engle of AroarA. Things continued Saturday afternoon with old-time games, historic walks, a historical family scavenger hunt, woodfired pizza, and free cake. Live music was provided by E.Z. Country South with special guest Lorraine Sine. In the evening local band Little Bluff took over with a free dance for adults. Athol recreation committee chair Kato Wake said the committee's goal is to put Cherry Valley on the map in terms of community events in Prince Edward County. She said the committee also wanted to raise awareness of local history. “We're all dressed up as characters who actually lived in Cherry Valley,” she said. “It's just to bring the little town alive because it used to be quite a bustling little community full of canneries and it's just a nice way to remember history.” One of the ways the recreation committee is trying to revive local history is to preserve a ledger used by Alva Stephens — a prominent citizen who is said to have given Cherry Valley its name. Stephens was an early United Empire Loyalist who came to Prince Edward County between 1812 and 1815. The ledger will be 200 years old in 2014 and was put on display to the public for the first time on Saturday. Recreation committee vice-chair Susan Wallis said the committee is attempting to raise money

Visitors have chance to meet with poetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s widow Chad Ibbotson Staff writer

It was a celebration of an iconic Canadian writer and poet, of a place that became his muse, and of the future that place could have in Canadian literature. The Al Purdy A-frame Association's first annual Purdy Picnic was held Saturday at Purdy's A-frame cottage on Roblin Lake. Visitors were invited into the cottage to explore improvements being done to support a new writer-in-residency program, to share some of their favourite Purdy poems, and to present some of their own inspired by what they experienced Saturday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's been a wonderful day, people are sitting by the trees exactly how they would have done (in the past) and poets reading poems at Al Purdy's place with Eurithe Purdy,â&#x20AC;? said event organizer Michele Lintern-Mole. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just don't think we could ask for anything better.â&#x20AC;? Lintern-Mole said she was very pleased with the outcome, saying many people came early and stayed until late in the day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's been a fabulous day â&#x20AC;Ś it's been non-stop from people going to the hall to find picnics, going to the library and coming here (to the A-frame),â&#x20AC;? she said. She said extra readers, who actually knew Al and Eurithe Purdy, showed up

and added extra substance to the day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were able to talk to Eurithe who's here and share some memories with her. That was something we hadn't anticipated,â&#x20AC;? Lintern-Mole said. Local musicians played on the cottage deck overlooking the lake, picnics were for sale at Ameliasburgh and could be enjoyed at the Grove cemetery, Harry Smith Conservation Area, the Al Purdy Library,

or at the cottage. Visitors were also encouraged to explore the village of Ameliasburgh with writer Conrad Beaubien guiding a literary tour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a great set of musicians, the poems were well received and people have been able to tour the house,â&#x20AC;? Lintern-Mole said. She said the writer-inresidency program will begin in spring of 2014, but in September and October of this year two poets will

be spending a short time at the A-frame. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's not going to be the full program, but it means we're committed now to creating this space for these people,â&#x20AC;? she said. Lintern-Mole offered her thanks to all the volunteers who helped make the event successful. With that success, Lintern-Mole said the event will continue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There's no doubt about it, it will happen again,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's kind of solidified with the success of this event.â&#x20AC;? She said the association's next event will be Happy Hour with Al, which will take place in September. Purdy's works include two volumes of memoirs, four books of correspondence, a novel and 39 books of poetry spread over his 60year career. He came to Prince Edward County with wife Eurithe in 1957 where the couple built the A-frame cottage. Purdy died at age 81 in 2000. Picton resident and poet Colette Peters said she wanted to attend because she believes the A-frame is a special place in the county. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Al Purdy lived here and I'd like to learn more about his poetry,â&#x20AC;? she said, adding that she has read some of Purdy's work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I did really enjoy what I have read. It seemed very immediate; he captures the images really powerfully and the sound of the words is really beautiful.â&#x20AC;? In her own work Peters said she tries to capture experiences, feelings and nature. She said she believes in the idea that a place can retain some of the energy of the past and it can be meaningful to visit those places. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For me, as a poet, its a kind of pilgrimage,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Cobourg photographer wins Boult Award for excellence in Clic show sponsors,” Johnston said. In the future Johnston said she would like to see the show take on an educational component for students. “Photography can quite easily become about money and it shouldn't be a limitation to that,” she said. In the adult colour category the winners from first to third were: “HensSwitzerland” by Susi Walters of Napanee; “Glade at Midday” by Geoff Noxon of Ottawa; and “Window on the Lake” by Gabrielle Holowacz of Carrying Place.

Jurors select 92 pieces from 64 entrants across eastern Ontario Chad Ibbotson

Surprise was the first word that came to mind for Cobourg photographer Jeff Gardner after having his photo judged the best in a field of 92. In its fourth year the Clic Eastern Ontario Photo Show and Sale continued to feature stunning images from some of the area's most talented photographers. Jurors reviewed more than 300 image entries, ultimately selecting 92 from 64 photographers from across eastern Ontario. Gardner's “Farming Chocolate” — which depicts rolling fields that seem to cascade like liquid chocolate — took home the Doug Boult Award for Photographic Excellence and best in show. “I was totally surprised and shocked. I had no idea and I'm just humbled to be honoured because there's just so much great talent in this show,” Gardner said. The panoramic shot combined two images. Gardner said the shot was taken with a 560 mm lens while on an organized photography trip to Palouse, Washington in August 2012. “To me the landscape, the earth is like flowing chocolate — that's what it really looks like,” he said of the photo. Gardner owns a fine art printing business where he honed the skills which he said helped him make a compelling photo. “My technical skills came through on this image and I rely on that to get my craftsmanship done properly before you can really see my artwork,” he said. The photos were judged by a panel of three accomplished photographers — Toronto-based Marilyn Lightstone, Kingston's Richard Martin, and Prince Edward County-based photographer Graham Davies. The jurors called Gard-

In the adult black and white category the winners from first to third were: “Life” by Lola Reid Allin of Belleville; “Farmer” by Bob Perks of Colborne; and “Darken Foss” by Allan Short of Grafton. In the student division the winners from first to third were: “Birds in Snow” by Britney Pasion of Frankford; “Child Portrait” by Heather Beach of Picton; and “Freedom to Love” by Arionna Scaletta of Belleville. The show is open until Aug. 10 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily.

As far as rural Ontario goes, Picton is a hub for music and for theatre. For those who like to mix them and take part in musical theatre, however, the opportunities don’t come along all that often. With that in mind, a group of six performers decided they’d create their own opportunity to sing by forming their own group called Take Six Plus One. Carlotta Rutledge is one of those performers. She’s

starred in musical theatre with the Marysburgh Mummers and the County Theatre Group, but she was looking for more opportunity to show off her talents. “A lot of us like to sing and not enough groups are doing musicals,” she said. “There are choirs, but we’re all such individuals, we’d prefer to do something that allows us a chance to do some solo work.” Rutledge pulled together a bunch of characters familiar to stages in the county — Micheline Cox, Greg Lambert, Kevin McGall, Phil

“Still smiling after 25 years... and will be for the next 25” Love, Michael

Hobbs, and Anne Ritchie — and invited them to bring Broadway numbers they wanted to sing to the group. Working with pianist Tom Dietzel weekly over the past six weeks, they arranged a revue of the songs, offering each actor solos and ensemble work in a show that runs about 1:15. “It’s fast-moving and there’s a little bit of dancing in it,” said Rutledge. “We’re also planning a singalong to The Sound of Music. Other shows included in the revue include Fiddler On The Roof, A Funny Thing Happened On The Way to the Forum, South Pacific, Guys and Dolls, and many more. The group will have its first performance Sunday at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church at 2 p.m. Admission is $10 and the show will benefit the Reaching For Rainbows after-school program for girls in the Picton area. Rutledge said the group is also open to doing shows for other good causes. McGall said he believes audiences will warm to the show quickly, particularly with the performers really enjoying what they’re doing. “It’s going to be a great time,” he said. “It’s an opportunity for us all to come out, sing, enjoy each other, and have a lot of fun.”

Consecon Community Day Saturday offers a range of fun activities for all ages Soap box derby, car boot sale, art, yoga, pig roast, street dance among events to be staged during village’s celebration Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

Organizers of the Consecon Community Day festivities are hoping to build on the past success of the event and grow participation not only in the village, but across the county. The event is co-sponsored each year by the Ameliasburgh recreation committee and the Consecon and Area Ratepayers Association (CARA). CARA president Bill McMahon said he's excited to help bring the event to the village for another year. “Absolutely. This is what it's all about; trying to get the community involved and trying to get everybody to work together,” he said. McMahon said there's a hunger for community-oriented activities in Consecon that Community Day helps sate. “Last year was apparently the first time we had a street dance in 15 years and people were happy to see that come back and people are looking forward to that type of thing again,” he

said. The daylong event kicks off on Saturday, Aug. 3 at 8 a.m. with a car boot sale in the Emm's Restaurant parking lot on Loyalist Parkway. The sale will feature sellers from across eastern Ontario. Additional yard and garage sales will be taking place across the village at the same time. Visitors can take advantage of free wagon rides, a kids zone, charity car wash and kids can get an upclose look at fire and police vehicles at Emm's. Elsewhere, Janet B's Gallery will be hosting art, yoga, and chi kung demonstrations right next to Cascades Pub & Grill, and the Consecon Library will hold their third annual used book sale and kids craft area. At noon, free registration begins for the third annual Consecon Soap Box Derby with things getting rolling at 1 p.m. on the Mill Street hill. The derby is open to boys and girls ages five through 12 and there are no registration fees. Competi-

tors are grouped into categories based on age — fiveand six-year-olds, seven through nine, and 10 through 12. The racers will make individual runs down the hill with the fastest overall time in each category determining the age group winner. Helmets are mandatory and all cars must have a braking

mechanism. If a child doesn't have their own car there will be extra cars available. “Once the kids are done we're going to let the adults take a run at the hill like they did last year,” McMahon said. “That seemed to be the most fun part of the day.” The day will also feature wine tastings at Redtail Vineyards and an evening pig roast with hot dogs and hamburgers available for kids at the Consecon Legion. The day culminates with the street dance on Mill Street in front of the legion and the Masonic Hall. Local band “Not Yet” will provide the music and visitors are encouraged to bring lawn chairs. McMahon said the event is slowly building, but it

can be difficult to get more people involved without an organization like the Picton BIA or the Bloomfield Area Business Association (BABA) available in Consecon. “It's a process year by year,” he said. “We have the local businesses sponsoring the soap box derby and we have seven of our own cars we built last year and we had the local businesses put their ad on the back of a car and that helps pay for the trophies and that helps get them involved.” One way organizers have tried to get more citizens involved is through

some banner making. “They're home-grown banners done by the community and we'll have them going up this weekend for Community Day and we hope to have 25 by the time the summer is over,” he said. While McMahon said organizers hope the event will create stronger community ties withing the village, he said they're also hoping people from across the county come and discover Consecon. “Yes it's Consecon Community Day, but we'd like people from other parts of the county to come up and give us a try,” he said.

Picton Gazette 80 years ago — 1933

■ Rossmore was the sight of a terrible grass fire that nearly threatened homes, burning land from the Bay Bridge almost halfway to Massassauga Road. The blaze was noticed around 5 p.m. and firefighters fought it for three hours before gaining control. It was believed a discarded cigarette]that started the fire. ■ Wellington was planning a large event for the Civic Holiday filled with acrobatic stunts by the Selvy Troupe of Hamilton, sporting events of all kids, hydroplane and boat races, and other activities. Tickets for the event, valued at 25 cent, also offered patrons a chance to win a Ford car or an electric washer. ■ Oakdale Champion Echo, a five-year-old Holstein cow bred in Frankford and owned by Carrying Place farmers completed an expected record over the course of a year producing 15,148 lb of milk with an average test of 3.72 per cent fat.

60 years ago — 1953

■ The Prince Edward Yacht Club was preparing to hold its annual Gold Cup regatta, named after the $600 gold trophy the club donated for competition amongst the best powerboaters on its five-mile track. Drivers from across Canada and the United States were expected. It was believed to be the 20th anniversary of the regatta after local powerboat enthusiasts revived the club in 1933 and held a small regatta. ■ Clinton Rose told local Rotarians that Prince Edward County canners were packing one-third to one-half of Canada’s tomatoes, tomato juice, peas, corn, and pumpkin. In one year, Rose said county canners processed enough pumpkin to make seven pies for every Canadian resident — man, woman, or child. ■ The St. Louis Cardinals baseball team advertised for players looking to take part in a “Red Bird” tryout camp in Kingston.

40 years ago — 1973

■ The Gazette paid tribute to Claude (Pete) Cole who had worked for 50 years in the newspaper’s print shop, eventually rising to foreman. It was noted that Cole met more than 5,000 deadlines in a career that was till going strong. ■ The three-day shopping and civic gettogether promoted as Wellington Old Home Days, scheduled for the long weekend was receiving much attention. The new opening of the Wellington-Hillier fire hall was to be one of the major attractions during the celebration. ■ A car crash north of Mountain View claimed the life of Mildred Ilene Neelands, 59, a prominent clergyman’s wife.

20 years ago — 1993

■ The Hastings and Prince Edward Counties District Health Council was finalizing its hospital rationalization study to present to the public. The study suggested the hospitals in Trenton and Belleville be given “lead hospital” responsibilities for specific services for the entire district. It also indicated each of the district’s four hospitals were performing above the provincial average in finances and in productivity when compared to the provincial average. ■ Belleville’s Lons Memorials donated a stone valued at about $1,800 to mark the over 2,000 unmarked graves existing within Glenwood Cemetery. It also donated a sundial worth about $1,100.

Marsh musical draws scores of rave reviews

A week ago, my wife and I walked about a kilometre to attend a stage performance. Admission was free; however, we were the only ones present for this complementary concert. We sat down and waited for the concert to begin. The theatre was a largely unknown wetland along a stretch of the Millennium Trail, off Danforth Road, just west of Wellington. The musicians were assembled and some were still tuning up. The oboe in this case was a male red-winged blackbird, and much like the oboe in an orchestra tune up, seemed unaffected by the mid-morning humidity. In contrast was the muddy, loose banjo-like sound of two or three green frogs as they waited in the wings for their inclusion in the concert. At stage right a gallinule appeared, unsure of his role today in the concert that was to begin shortly, and back paddled into an opening in the cattails to await his call. More sure of themselves were close to a dozen Virginia rails, reluctant to approach centre stage, instead skulking in the protective corridors of aquatic vegetation. Safely hidden from the audience, they were not at all reluctant to try out their skills, the descending bass “oink” notes in contrast to the red-winged blackbirds’ soprano whistles. The mood of the orchestra was getting more restless as others from deep within the marsh voiced their interest in joining in the practice. One –

OUTDOOR RAMBLES TERRY SPRAGUE

no, two – marsh wrens volunteered their talents to punctuate the performance, their dry rattle becoming the needed castanets. A distant bittern was the tubist, a passing kingfisher the maraca. In the background, a yellowthroat and a yellow warbler offered their notes, but failed to disclose what instruments they were playing. We left the orchestra members to continue their practice and made our way to another wetland, this time, a flooded swamp at Hillier where trees over time have died, providing nesting habitat for a variety of cavity nesters. A family of great crested flycatchers practised their loud “wheep” calls, like high pitched whistles, not members of any symphony but there to get the attention of its players. The two red-headed woodpeckers, seen earlier in the year, and likely nesting

here, had taken this weekend off, leaving a single male redbellied woodpecker as the lone percussionist. Green frogs were here too, hoping to add their talents to the orchestra that was forming. Regrettably, there were not enough members, and the sounds quieted as we continued our walk. The lighting director was Old Sol himself who has divided his responsibilities between both wetlands for hundreds of years. He handles the job well, despite his age, and shines the spotlight on the performers on centre stage, but can gel the spotlight to multiple shades of grey if a more sombre mood is required. This orchestra has no conductor for the ensemble. The musicians know their parts well, and are few enough in number that they can reproduce the written score admirably in aural form. Today the maestro can have a well-deserved break. The concerts given daily in any wetland are free, and encores are numerous; they are especially fine at the cattail marsh we came upon earlier. We need only to attend. The matinees are spectacular, but the evening performances are best when the moon casts subtle shadows upon the musicians. They continue well into the night for the benefit of those who wish to attend. One night at this same wetland, an amazing four least bitterns called faintly from different areas of the marsh, almost like soft snippets from

a trombone, barely audible above the light breeze that swayed the cattails almost imperceptibly. Somewhere in the patches of moon lit cattail mats were the musicians themselves, but reluctant, as least bitterns are, to make an appearance. To fully appreciate the musicians in any wetland orchestra, we need to learn their instruments as many performers are shy, only appearing momentarily from stage left, then retreating as though frightened by the audience. Only the swamp sparrows and the pied-billed grebes are bold enough to remain on stage and often that is enough to hold the performance together. We can always close our eyes in the stillness of the marsh and imagine their presence from the field guides as they assume their positions on stage. The performance ends, and wings are held high in the air, and then slowly lowered over several seconds, in the hope of allowing the audience to stay joined with the artistic creation even for just a brief moments after the music has ceased. Then, wild applause from those who took time to listen. Bravo. For more information on today’s topic, please e-mail tsprague@kos.net or phone 613-476-5072.

Man charged with assault, uttering threats, forcible confinement in vehicle A 25-year-old Scarborough man was arrested and held for a bail hearing after an incident police describe as a roadside domestic Thursday. At about 8:10 p.m. police received word of a domestic assault they say happened in a vehicle that was parked at the side of the road in the area of County Rd. 1 and Melville Road in Hillier ward. Upon investigation, police charged the man with three counts of assault, one count of

uttering threats, and one count of forcible confinement, all contrary to the Criminal Code of Canada. The police report did not indicate the condition of man’s victim or the manner of the accused when dealing with the responding police officers.

IMPAIRED DRIVER

Another suspected impaired driver was taken off the road Thursday evening.

At about 5:33 p.m. the Prince Edward detachment received a call from a Consecon business on the Loyalist Parkway reporting the impaired man. Upon their arrival, police stopped the man in a motor vehicle and determined that he had been drinking alcohol. The 47-year-old Belleville man was taken into custody and charged with impaired operation of a motor vehicle and exceeding the legal limit of .08 blood/alcohol content.

The man was eventually released from custody on a promise to appear in Picton court Aug. 14.

IN less than a year, the attention of the whole world will be focused in on Sochi, Russia as it stages the 22nd Olympic Winter Games, a spectacle of the human spirit, of dedication, and of achievement. Since being tagged as the host, the country has allocated more than $10.85 billion to show that it is ready to host the world. Despite that, however, the Russians have made it quite clear that they aren’t about to roll out the welcome mat to just anyone. New laws recently signed into effect by President Vladimir Putin would give the country the right to round up and detain any foreigner or tourist it suspects as homosexual or promoting a homosexual agenda for up to 14 days — and one would suspect it has a very liberal view of what a homosexual agenda is, considering Putin also signed into law another bill that would make it illegal for a Russian-born child to be adopted by any couple — same-sex or not — or individual from a country that allows same-sex marriage to occur within its borders. One could imagine that simply being an athlete from or the waving the flag of a country that allows its citizens such a basic right to live their own lives as they see fit would be cause for detention. That in itself is scary, but what is worse is that the leadership of any educated society would have such a phobia for a group of people based on their sexual preference and seek to oppress their freedoms to live peacefully and enjoy their lives on earth without being seen as a threat to others within society. Throughout history there have been some awful, terrible regimes who have persecuted their own people simple because they happened to belong to a visible minority group and, surely, the history books should tell of their atrocities and offer lessons as to why they should never be repeated. Now, that’s not to say Putin or any world leader even has to personally change his or her own views on homosexuality. Take Pope Francis. He recently showed that while his church still believes procreation between heterosexuals is at the heart of marriage, he doesn’t feel it is anyone’s place to judge or marginalize those who are differently inclined. It’s not his place, nor is it Putin’s place, nor anyone’s. That, like any orientation and activity — so long as it doesn’t directly harm an unwilling individual — is something each human should have freedom to choose and freedom to examine according to their own conscience and belief set. The question that remains, however, is what to do with the Russians and how to approach a Games where it is clear the host state isn’t welcoming the world to join with it in celebration. Those countries who believe in basic human rights, liberties, and freedom should step forward and threaten to boycott the event if Russia doesn’t back away from its overaggressive policies. Economically, the notion of spending all of that money and not reaping benefit should hit home for those in Russia that this is not the way to operate. The International Olympic Committee should also stand firm behind the objectors. This type of law is unacceptable andit should not be tolerated.

Kellough, Delany launch new mystery titles at library

Mystery authors Vicki Delany and Janet Kellough, friends and fellow mystery writers, coincidentally have new novels being released within weeks of each other, and the library is privileged to be their choice of location for a dual book launch. Kellough and Delany will be at the Picton branch of the library on Thursday, Aug. 15 at 7p.m. reading from their new works, taking questions form the audience, and signing copies of their books. Kellough’s latest mystery is entitled 47 Sorrows. Published by Dundurn Press, this is the writer’s fifth work of fiction and the third in the popular Thaddeus Lewis series. The tale begins with the bloated corpse of a man dressed in women’s clothing washing up on the shore of Lake Ontario near Lewis’s home. Nothing is found on the body except a small scrap of green ribbon. It’s 1847 — “Black ’47”and 100,000 Irish immigrants are fleeing to Canada to escape starvation. The emigrants bring with them the dreaded “ship’s fever”, and soon Canadian ports are overflowing with the sick and dying. Lewis’s youngest son, Luke, volunteers in the dreaded fever sheds. He finds a green ribbon in the lifeless hand of a patient named John Porter. Luke uncovers a tale of enmity that began in Ireland, and enlists Thaddeus’s aid in trying to discover what happened. Their search leads them to the heart of the criminal underworld of Toronto, where the final acts of vengeance play out against the tragedy occurring in the fever sheds. In reviewing the book, Publishers Weekly writes, “Kellough embraces the history of her native Ontario, accepting the ugly facts along with the laudable ambitions of a few to improve a society divided by superstition, class and religion, a society that punished victims and rewarded exploiters. “While Kellough takes some liberties with the actual history of Thaddeus Lewis to facilitate her tale, in grander matters she paints an accurately unsentimental picture of Victorian-era Ontario in a time of plague and disaster, eschewing narrative convenience for historical

verisimilitude.” Delany’s latest book is entitled A Cold White Sun and is the sixth in her acclaimed Constable Molly Smith series. It has been two years since Constable Molly Smith and Sergeant John Winters were last re-united on the page to work on a case, and this one is as inexplicable as snow in summer. Cathy Lindsay, a high school English teacher and married mother of two, is shot by a sniper while walking her dog in the snowy woods and there are no clues, no suspects, and no motive. Is it possible this was a case of mistaken identity? And if so, who in the small, close-knit community might be next? Meanwhile, on the double black diamond runs of the Blue Sky resort, Molly Smith meets a handsome, charming man, as good as skier as she is, which turns her to realizing that it’s time to make some serious decisions about the direction of her life – both personal and professional. New York Times bestselling author, Julia Spencer-Fleming says of this latest from the author, “Delany’s formidable Canadian sleuth, Molly Smith, pits her skills against an ice-cold killer, just as her personal life heats up. I love this series!” Library CEO Barbara Sweet points out that all titles by Delany and Kellough are popular at the library and many people are anticipating these new titles in the collection. “Copies of both titles are on order and we expect that, like their other books, these will be favourites on the Library’s new books list and will generate many requests.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Plan could address change, maintain boundaries

Council has responded to voters who answered Yes to the 2010 municipal referendum question regarding interest in a review of council size. Saturday, July 27 was the first all-day session of the Citizens Assembly (C.A.), commissioned by council to consider the question: “How many municipal councillors should represent the citizens of Prince Edward County?” Twenty-four people, diverse as to demographics and background, make up the C.A. They were selected from 350 people who applied, out of 5,000 county residents who were invited. Dr. Jonathan Rose and two

colleagues, all from Queen’s, are the organizers and facilitators. I attended Saturday’s morning session as an observer, and was impressed with the process and the people. There are two more all-day sessions, open to the public, to be held at the Picton Town Hall on Aug. 10 and Aug. 24, starting at 9 a.m each day. If the C.A. recommends fewer councillors than the current 15, and if council agrees, the challenge will be: How to adjust to a smaller number, given the current structure of 10 Wards, with one, two or three councillors per ward?

What happens if it is decided to reduce to (say) nine councillors in total? I believe that most county residents don’t want any changes to the County’s 10 historic wards, an important part of the county’s heritage. I have developed a proposal, refined over several months, I call “The N.E.W. Plan” for restructuring County council. The plan can accommodate as few as six councillors in total or as many as 15, while preserving the County’s 10 historic wards unchanged, and improving councillor representation. It sounds like magic, but it’s actually simple – just a matter of thinking

outside (the box) ward boundaries. The N.E.W. Plan is complementary to the work of the C.A., because it offers a simple and inexpensive means of implementing whatever is recommended by the C.A. and agreed by council. I plan on proposing it to council after the C.A makes its recommendations. For an explanation of the N.E.W. Plan (including map), see the C.A.’s size of council discussion forum at http://tinyurl.com/n4fotg p . You may post comments there, or feel free to contact meat gary.mooney@actel.ca .

Public discussion key to health system accountability

n an age of decline, one has to ask himself or herself, “What are people thinking?” New medical buildings at a time our hospital is being downsized? Added groups costing precious money to tell us what council wants us to hear — that is when they want us to hear it. Billions being spent when in all likelihood, they will soon sit empty? Years back, the Bata building was overhauled and a clinic was created close to the hospital, having its own lab and pharmacy Since our hospital has lost beds and services. The Tip

of the Bay was the next to see a major change with a "Family Health Team" relocating to the new digs. Our hospital again loses beds and services. Now a new hospital that will house doctors and a pharmacy are in the works as well as a new health clinic to replace the King Street site. Much has been said about this new site, but it is what is not being said. Council needs to know that they are elected by us but can't speak for us if we don't know what they are saying in meetings. In an interesting side

note, here is a web site from the Canadian Health Coalition showing where health care in Canada is heading, it is a terrifying read into 2014: http://healthcoalition.ca/harper-planwould-kill-medicare/ Here is a small tidbit: “Harper’s recent unilateral, non-negotiable decision on the future of federal health financing stunned provinces. “It seems the federal government intends to limit its role to signing blank cheques with no strings attached and no accountability. If rumours

on the Hill are true, once the current arrangement expires Harper may replace cash transfers entirely with tax credits. “The Harper government has set in motion a strategy that will lead to the unravelling of Canada’s national health system. All Harper has to do is nothing. By abdicating the essential federal responsibilities in health care, the system will fragment on its own into 14 separate pieces"

I had to check the calendar to ensure it wasn't April 1. Once again Council has made us all look like foolsthemselves for ignoring their own and provincial legislation and you and me for electing them — or at least 10 of them, since six were away. Why is it that someone's "personal circumstances" can over rule all the legislation ? Who in the county hasn't had a change to their

personal circumstances? We all deal with it and move on — so should Ms Lambert. She knew what she was buying and where she would be living, so don't come crying to council and the taxpayers now. After the fact, she claims "mea culpa" and wants an OK on the apartment she has already created — this should be a simple "No, you can't do this. Nor can you create another one. It's

against the rules and legislation." Council, you are setting a terrible precedent -every Tom, Dick and Harry (apologies to those so named ) will be converting their outbuildings to questionable housing —this does not/will not resolve the issue of affordable housing, as suggested. And what about planning department ? We may not always agree with them, but we pay them to provide research & advice around

the rules and guidelines so that, hopefully, everyone gets the same treatment and plays under the same rules. And yet Council, who apparantly can't resist a good story, once again defied all logic and advice and tossed their decision aside. Council, you need to show some backbone and reverse this decision.

Exchange student bound for Norway Climate and mythology selling points for Boultbee

WHATTAM’S COMMUNITY CALENDAR

Staff writer

In a week, Miranda Boultbee will board a plane bound for Europe ready to start her adventure as a Rotary exchange student. After a two-hour stopover at London’s Heathrow Airport, the 17-year-old PECI student will continue her venture to one of the rarely chosen countries in the program — Norway — one she had two distinct reasons for choosing to explore. “Mostly, it is because I read a lot and I’m a big fan of the Lord of the Rings series. Many of its characters are based on Norwegian mythology,” Boultbee explained. “Also, I don’t do well in the hot weather and Norway doesn’t get a lot of it. That’s sort of a Canadian thing too.” Boultbee said she’s always had a desire to see the world. Last year, after befriending French exchange student Helene Taverniere, who was at PECI for a semester, she was convinced the program was the right way to do it. “She was telling me all about the wonderful things she was able to learn and do on her exchange,” Boultbee said. Preparing for the upcoming trip hasn’t been particularly easy for Boultbee, particularly because of the language barrier associated with her chosen destination. “Norwegian is one of the least used languages in the world. There’s no Rosetta Stone program for Norwegian and even NorwegianEnglish dictionaries are pretty rare,” she said. With that in mind, Boultbee has resorted to learning the language by watching clips on YouTube and talking to another exchange student from Port Perry who had spent a year in Norway. Through those conversations, Boultbee said she learned a lot of little things about Norway. She will be heading to Nesbeyn, a town of 3,500 people about two hours northeast of the capital Oslo.

to leave her home behind for a year to learn more about life abroad as part of a Rotary exchange program that will take her to Nesbeyn, Norway.. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

Boultbee has learned that dog sledding is a very popular activity in the area and she also discovered that there is top-notch skiing there too. I’m a bit of a thrill seeker, so any extreme sports that are there while I’m there, I’d like to try,” she said. Otherwise, Boultbee said that she is more interested in the arts, like singing and acting and she’s hoping that she’ll be able to take an arts course in school and perhaps explore that side of Norwegian culture in her own time as well. “The first family I’m staying with has a daughter who is like me — she is going on exchange to St. Thomas — and they have said they’ll help get me through the right doors,” she said. About the only drawback Boultbee said she found from her research on Norway is that it appears to be a richer country and as a result, the cost of living appears to be really expensive. She added, however, the state does provide free health care and public education. This will be Boultbee’s second trip abroad, but her first trip alone after heading to Italy and France previously on a school trip. As one would expect, she doesn’t

quite know what to expect from her adventure. “I’m incredibly nervous, scared, and excited... even a bit stressed, but mostly excited,” she said. In Norway, Boultbee will attend full days of school, but she will have to return to PECI another year to get her Grade 12 credits. Boultbee added her family has started to react to her impending departure. Her dad is excited for her adventure, her mom is “starting to freak out,” and her brother, well, he’s already trying to figure out what to do with her room and his status as the only child in the house. “The farthest he wants to travel is New York City, and I want to travel anywhere,” Boultbee said, adding she’s excited that with one of her host families, she’ll take on the role of big sister to a younger sister instead of a brother. She’s also looking forward to meeting a bunch of people who will be enthusiastic about meeting her and adding to an experience she already treasures. “Anyone thinking about an exchange should totally do it,” she said. “It’s one of the best experiences I’ve ever had and I haven’t even gone yet!”

Lasagna gardening method allows people to plant without digging in ground

As a Master Gardener in Ontario, I am privileged to be a member in a blog that is for Master Gardeners and by Master Gardeners only. Recently there has been a big dialog on genetically modified crops, a very complex discussion that I will not lay upon you. However, in the last week, there has been a rather lively discussion about lasagna gardening. The question came up when one Master Gardener asked the group to comment on a question she had received from a person who wanted to rejuvenate a tired and worn out lawn by turning it into a shade garden. Lasagna gardening is a method of putting in a garden without having to dig out grass or dig up the soil. The process is to lay down a serious layer of newspaper (ten sheets

This is a very earth friendly and back friendly method for installing a new garden and it has been characterized as “gardening without the work” but I find it to be labor intensive all the same. One very experienced Master Gardener explained the process she uses which I wanted to share with you. You can purchase a biodegradable sheet mulching from Lee Valley which eliminates laying down the paper or cardboard. She begins by taking out the turf or weeds around the edge of the new garden space so it will have a well-defined edge. She then puts down the paper or the sheet mulch or, if she can find them, she will use partially decomposed leaves that are at the stage where they will suppress weeds and grass. If installing large trees or shrubs, she pre-digs the

holes and removes the turf from around those areas. If you don’t, you are likely to have grass growing up through the holes around the shrubs or trees. Grass in the garden is a nightmare to control, so remember to do everything you can to suppress grass growth. She makes slits in the paper or sheet mulch for plants and then puts down a blend of compost and manure at a depth of three to four inches. She finishes the garden with an inch or two of coarse mulch after planting to suppress weeds and grass and retain moisture. The question posed by the person indicates that the garden is in the shade. Shade could be from a building or it could be from trees. If you are lasagna gardening under trees, you should be very careful about adding a layer of soil

minimized. If the roots are damaged, there will be a canopy loss and cutting roots can allow pathogens to enter the root system leading to tree decline over subsequent years. You could take a look at a slide show from the University of Minnesota, Planting under Trees by Kelsey Sparks and Mary Meyer. You can find it on the web at www.extension.umn.edu. There are also other sources for horticultural information on the web but keep in mind that not all sources are well qualified and blogs are often the worst places to go to for guidance as many times the contributors are not sufficiently informed to offer advice. When I research a gardening question, I generally use university sites or government sites that are in roughly the same geography as southern Ontario.

over the tree roots because 90 per cent to 99 per cent of tree roots are in the top meter of soil, depending upon the species. It is critical for these roots to exchange gases and when covered with paper and soil or compost, they can suffocate and the tree could eventually die. There are trees that are fill tolerant such as Colorado spruce, catalpa, silver maple, black willow, green ash, Eastern cottonwood, swamp white oak, river birch, and red maple. Those trees can tolerate a small amount of top fill of up to six inches of light soil or compost. Other trees such as white fir, red oak, white pine, linden, white oak, Scotch pine, sugar maple and serviceberry are not as fill tolerant so you should add no more than three inches of light soil or compost over their root systems. In all cases, keep the mulch or soil away from the tree trunk. In addition to fill intolerance, damage to tree roots by digging around them should be

Walking tours provide keen insight into life and figures of county’s past

The history of the county comes alive again on its streets each summer due to the efforts of a small partnership of heritage-minded businesses. Glenwood Cemetery, the Regent Theatre, the Museums of Prince Edward County and History Lives Here Inc. have created and sustained a series of walking tours that are offered weekly

plore Friday night, moving from Macaulay Heritage Park, the former Anglican church that was once home to prominent Rev. William Macaulay, who was instrumental in naming this town Picton. The tour also covered the land Macaulay donated in old Picton for the courthouse building still in use today which was the site of a grisly double hanging in

and as demand requires. The tours reach their objective of showcasing and celebrating local history, but they also do much more as they offer valuable funds to help sustain and preserve several heritage properties within the county. Likely the most popular of the tours is the Graveyards & Gallows offering, which had 18 people ready to ex-

Also, on Saturdays at 10 a.m.there’s a special loop of Wellington starting at the museum, a former Quaker meeting house. Tours can be booked in advance through the Regent Theatre box office at 613-4768416, www.theregenttheatre.org, or in person at 224 Main Street Picton.

1884 of two men some suggest were innocent. That tour typically takes place Fridays at 6:30 p.m. Other available tours include a trip backstage at The Regent Theatre Thursdays at 10 a.m. ; a Victorian Gala walk through Glenwood past some famous and not-so-famous people who influenced the county starting at 6:30 p.m. Saturdays.

Council has adopted a policy for granting financial relief on water bills where there has been an unexplained consumption increase, but also voted to grant some relief to a water user whose consumption increase was created by an undiscovered leak. The policy will grant financial relief on water bills for owner-occupied residential properties on a case-by-case basis limited to one billing period where an “unexplained consumption increase” has occurred. Any request for relief has to be made in writing from the payment address on the utility bill within 30 days with a description of the alleged unexplained increase. In addition council voted to provide relief in one of the cases that prompted the creation of the policy, but would not have received any compensation under it. Merland Park Cottages owners Kevin and Jennifer Lavers received a water bill that exceeded $10,000 over two months after an underground water line ruptured and wasn't discovered for an extended period of time. Last Tuesday council voted to have staff come back with a report with recommendations regarding water bill financial relief for the Lavers' property related to the property being both owner-occupied residential and commercial. Council also voted to provide relief in the amount of $5,000 which will be pro-

vided as a credit on future water bills. The motion for the report passed in a recorded vote of 9–6 while the motion to approve the $5,000 passed in a recorded vote by a margin of 10–5 with councillors Kevin Gale, Nick Nowitski, Terry Shortt, Bev Campbell, and mayor Peter Mertens voting against. Councillor Jamie Forrester voted in favour of both motions, saying the Lavers' case was one of extenuating circumstances. “This may happen to everybody out there at any given time. There could be a catastrophic water break in their home, but there has to be a way this can be absorbed,” he said. “… This is a resident of Prince Edward County that's had a catastrophic loss and we have a responsibility as council to say we will do something here.” Councillor Bev Campbell voted in opposition to both motions. She said the Lavers' case was already examined by staff who concluded that no relief should be given as the break occurred on the resident's property. “We've already had a very comprehensive that we requested earlier and, as sad as it is for the Lavers, they were part of the review,” she said. Council also voted to have staff come back with a report on the benefits and cost of having water meters read every month as opposed to the current every other month.

The Picton Gazette THURSDAY, AUGUST 1, 2013

Rotary district governor shares ideas about engaging perspective members Clubs encouraged to sell the idea of engagement to young hopefuls eager to make a difference somewhere in world adam BramBurger

Staff writer

The Rotary Club of Picton has had a healthy base of members for many years. On Tuesday, however, its members received a gentle nudge that times are changing and clubs must also change to stay current and stay relevant. That message came from Valarie Wafer, a Whitby Rotarians and Tim Hortons franchisee who is the new governor of District 7070 this year. Wafer was talking to the club about Rotary International president Ron Burton’s theme “Engage Rotary, Change Lives.” Wafer spoke about how engagement is becoming a popular buzzword in social media and networking circles. To discuss it, she went back to one of its traditional definitions and that is the “get-to-know-you” period before marriage. “We know that if we do

a bad job of our engagement, there won’t be a marriage,” she said, adding that while a prospective groom

wouldn’t pop the question after only a few weeks, clubs also need to engage prospective members be-

fore asking them to be part of Rotary. “Invite them to a fellowship meeting or a hands-on project,” she said. Wafer spoke about her father who spent 40 years working for the same company who was motivated by loyalty and structure. She said just as business has changed to a faster pace where young people seem inspired by their own selfgratification, people likely have the same goals for their service involvement. “They don’t look to Rotary for the structure or fellowship the way we do,” she said. “They want to be a part of an amazing organization that offers opportunities to travel the world, immunize against disease, bring fresh water to people, and educate children.” Most people, today, she said are engaged in social media and have a global conscience, what they’re seeking is someone to allow them to connect and engage

that world. “Young people don’t get up at 35 and decide they want to give back,” she said.”They want to be engaged today.” In that engagement, Wafer said Rotarians can inspire change in others and also find change and enthusiasm in themselves. Wafer challenged Rotarians to be visionaries and look at ways that clubs can succeed and to look to

young clubs and young members for leadership in finding new ways to recruit and fundraise. The Picton club appears to be embracing that challenge with its youngest president in history this year, Matt Stiff, who trained with Wafer. She concluded that members’ engagement is infectious and it can change the cultures of both clubs and their communities.

Yacht club salutes service boats as part of celebrations Members may have interacted with personnel in last 75 years CHad Ibbotson

Staff writer

As the Prince Edward Yacht Club celebrates its 75th year, club members took some time on Saturday to recognize the work of services who keep boating safe around the municipality. Prince Edward Yacht Club (PEYC) house and events director Linda Austin said while Saturday's events were part of the club's 75th anniversary festivities, the day was meant as a thank-you to services like the OPP Marine unit, Wellington Rescue, Picton Search and Rescue, and the Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary. The Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary vessel Avalon and the 65-foot Ontario Explorer, built for fisheries assessment and ecosystem monitoring on Lake Ontario by the Ministry of Natural Resources were on hand, with the latter being open for tours. “Today is all about service vessel groups and the personnel who we might have interacted with in the community over those 75 years,” Austin said. A barbecue was available and there was free cake for all visitors in celebration of the anniversary. “We just wanted to let the community know the contribution these guys have made over those 75 years and to come and talk to them,” Austin said.

one of several events the yacht club has held this year in celebration of 75 years in operation. Earlier this month the PEYC was allowed to host the Eastern Yachting Circuit (EYC) Regatta out of turn in celebration of their landmark year. Austin said the event was very well received. “We had 55 boats register. We got so many kudos,

I was told we raised the golden bar for next year's regatta which I believe is in Oswego (New York),” she said. Austin said the municipality was very accommodating and provided a camping area at the fairgrounds. “That was pretty special,” she said. PEYC commodore David

Dodd said approximately 250 crew members came to the county to participate in the EYC event. “Some of the participants were saying this is the best EYC they've ever attended,” Dodd said. “It was a huge effort, we had more than 40 volunteers involved.” Austin said the year's anniversary festivities kicked off with PECY's sail past

held on June 15. She said that event was also special in that many past members and past commodores participated. “That's the official start of our sailing season when all the boats muster out on the water and they salute our commodore,” she said. “What we did that was different to mark the birthday this year was we tracked

down as many former commodores and board members and had an invitational brunch. We actually had two commodores from the late '60s and early '70s, which we thought was pretty cool.” Dodd said approximately 40 past members were present in total, with 18–20 of them being past commodores.

Pitchers’ battle leads to tie in Tyendinaga Thompson, Claus combine for 33 strikeouts as Copperheads, Whitepine draw Jason Parks

The standings in the Prince Edward County Men's Fastball League remain close as the season draws to a close. The league-leading Roblin's Family Plumbing Copperheads missed out on a glorious chance to extend their margin on the rest of the pack as they had a 1-1 draw with the Whitepine Watershed crew on Tyendinaga Tuesday night. The Snakes had a 1-0 lead going into the sixth inning when Whitepine hurler Jamie Thompson helped out his own cause, doubling home the game’s

tying run. The tie gives Roblin's an 8-2-4 record, good enough for 20 points and a five point lead on Whitepine (63-3, 15 points) who have three games in hand on the first place club. The game on the Territory was a real pitchers battle as Wil Claus fanned 16 for the Copperheads and Thompson struck out 17 for Whitepine. In Tweed, the Beatty Seeds Huskers and 15-yearold hurler Jonathon Lamorre made short work of the Midgets in a 5-2 win. The young pitcher struck out eight Tweed batters and led the offensive

efforts with a pair of runs batted in. With the win, The Huskers have an 8-5-0 record which puts them in second place with 16 points. In Frankford, Danford Contracting (7-3-0, 14 points) sent the visiting Terra Vista Rockies (4-7-3, 11 points) home unhappy, shading the Rox 3-2. Mike McLellan drove in a pair while Adam Danford was the winning pitcher. Brandon Smith came aboard in the bottom of the seventh and picked up a save. In Ameliasburgh on Thursday, the Warren's Ex-

cavating A's (4-6-1, nine points) snapped a winless streak dating back to June 20th as they blanked the Rockies 5-0. In Picton, Claus whiffed 18 as the Snakes blanked Beatty's 4-0. Whitepine dumped Tweed 8-1. As a point of interest for local fastball fans, Frankford will be hosting the Ontario Amateur Softball Association Intermediate B and C championships Aug. 16-18 For more information and draws closer to the tournament, visit w w w. o a s a . c a / t o u r n a ments.htm

Cycling performers list Small Pond Arts as host for festival on Tune Your Ride Tour Jason Parks

Staff Writer

The Tune Your Ride Tour will be hitting the road this August, with three independent musicians gearing up for a string of pedal-poweredoutdoor concerts across eastern Ontario, one of which includes a stop in Prince Edward County. Traveling by bicycle from Toronto to Ottawa with instruments and gear in tow, the 12-day trip will be the first of its kind in Canada. Presented by Tune Your Ride, the arts collective behind Toronto’s annual Bicycle Music Festival (BMF), this summer’s inaugural tour features three Toronto-based indie/folk artists and cycling enthusiasts: Abigail Lapell, Jessica Moore and Dana Sipos. The musicians won’t be the only ones pedaling: all electricity for the performances is produced by audience members using bicycle generators, which power a specialized P.A. speaker system, custom-designed for the Toronto festival. The Prince Edward County BMF, taking place at Small Pond Arts just outside of Picton, will also feature county-based band Nine

Mile, who have toured internationally and shared stages

with Sarah Harmer, Michael Franti and Xavier Rudd.

A cycling tour servings as North America’s largest fundraiser for tree research will be traveling through Prince Edward County today. The STIHL Tour des Trees takes an International Route through U.S. and Canada to raise funds and awareness for tree research. Over 100 cyclists will travel from Kingston to Belleville and continue on their week-long, 585-mile cycling adventure to increase awareness of the need for tree research and raise funds for the Tree Research and Education Endowment Fund or TREE Fund). The TREE fund has sup-

ported research that has led to important developments in: ■ Understanding air pollution reduction and carbon sequestration by trees ■ Determining the costs and benefits of urban trees ■ Improving conditions for tree growth in difficult sites ■ Strategies to manage diseases and pests that affect urban trees The tour will start its day in Amherstview, where 75 children will gather to greet the riders and attend an educational program about trees featuring Professor Elwood Pricklethorn, made possible by the County of Lennox &

Addington and Loyalist Township. From Amherstview, the cyclists will traverse the County, visiting Lake on the Mountain and Sandbanks Provincial Park, and finishing the day in Belleville. Nearly 100 cyclists from around the world committed this year to fundraise for the TREE Fund in the STIHL Tour des Trees. With professional backgrounds and a shared passion for trees and the environment, the Tour’s cyclists have created North America’s largest fundraiser for tree research. The tour started in Niag-

Musical ride The Tune Your Ride Bicycle Tour will

be coming to Prince Edward County later this month and features indie folk artists Abigail Lapell, Jessica Moore and Dana Sipos. (Submitted photo)

“This is such an exciting concept for a festival,” says Nine Mile frontman D’Ari Lisle. “We’re thrilled to be part of it!” The performers, along with tour director and Toronto BMF Founder James Davis, are delighted to be teaming up with like-minded local musicians, arts organizations and businesses to help spread the bike-powered love across the province. “We want to expose emerging and independent local artists to new audiences in a fun, inclusive atmosphere,” notes Davis. “Traveling and powering shows by bike allows us to present independent Canadian music in a unique and exciting way.” The Prince Edward County BMF takes place August 17 from 1 to 5 pm at Small Pond Arts, 337 Clarke Road, Picton. Tickets are available at the gate for $15 ($10 for kids under 13, free for kids under 5). Ride your bike to the festival and get a $5 discount! Refreshments and wood-fired pizza will be available for purchase. For more details visit www.tuneyourride.com/pec bmf.

The Picton Gazette THURSDAY, AUGUST 1, 2013

Two drastically different options for McFarland Home site presented Tuesday

PLAN, from page 1

Leeming said it's important for the plan to have a lot of flexibility in the way it is phased in over time. “There's a very big shopping list of potential uses for this site,” Leeming said. “Some of them we know for sure, some of them are probably, and some of them are going to be off into the future.” After hearing comments from the last meeting, Leeming said an interconnected open space is fundamental to the site. He said there was also a strong desire to keep natural environment features and keep green space in front of McFarland Home. Leeming said there was a desire for parking that won't create barriers to green space and accessible walkways. Small building footprints were also noted as an important feature. The comments resulted in two presented concepts which were radically different. The first concept, labelled Option 4, featured a main access point to the rest of the property stemming from the current entrance off County Rd 49. The road snakes up around the side of McFarland Home — which remains in its current location — before coming to a roundabout which manages traffic stemming from a large circular road at the west end of the property. The concept features pods of green space connected through green paths which follow roadways, but limit road crossings. To the north of McFarland Home space has been set aside for seniors housing and a retirement home. The middle section of the property would be set aside for medical, institutional, and commercial uses such as a small medical practice or pharmacy. The west end of the property would be set aside

giving inPut More than 30 people gathered in H.J. McFarland Home on Tuesday evening to give their input on two new concept Age in Place Master Plan concepts. At left, McFarland Home family council chair Jan Welbanks and vice chair Lee Ramsbottom look over the concepts along with another group of concerned citizens. (Chad Ibbotson/Gazette staff)

concePt Plan This illustration of Option 5 presented

on Tuesday by The Planning Partnership shows a roadway running on the south side of the property and a concept site of a potential future hospital. (Chad Ibbotson/Gazette staff)

for residential seniors housing that could have an affordable component. The southeast corner was shown as a potential site for a stormwater management pond. The second concept pre-

sented Tuesday, Option 5, featured a main access point which almost mirrors that of Option 4, putting the road on the south side of the property running behind the current site of McFarland Home. The road

skirts the south edge of the property before curving more to the middle and connecting with the Millennium Trail, which was marked in Option 5 as a potential site for a Picton bypass road. In Option 5 McFarland Home would be pushed back from its current location more to the middle of the property and would be flanked on the east and west by residential seniors housing that could have an affordable component. The concept also featured an area in the northwest corner of the property set aside for a potential new hospital roughly the same size as the current hospital. Again the southeast corner was shown as a potential stormwater management pond. Di Giorgio said the firm took a different approach with Option 5. She said the concept includes elements that the firm has less knowledge about currently and less control over.

“It does consider the fact that there may be a potential bypass along the Millennium Trail and that really opens up access on the western edge,” she said. “It also looks at a large medical institutional facility in this location and looks at the fact that McFarland Home could potentially be rebuilt entirely to provincial standards.” McFarland Home family council chair Jan Welbanks

and vice-chair Lee Ramsbottom said they were happy to see the new plans incorporate residents' comments. Ramsbottom said she liked Option 4 much better than Option 5. “We hope that the home can stay in the same place and be totally connected with the front yard,” she said. Ramsbottom said she felt there should be another open house before anything goes to councillors. “I'm concerned this will be our final input,” she said. Welbanks said she was happy to see the planners incorporate many of the comments brought forward last time around, “They've considered what we've said which is very nice. It eases our concerns over the past few months,” she said. “I'm very pleased with the turnout tonight, there are a lot of new faces and that's what we needed to see. This concerns everybody in the county.” However, Welbanks remains cautious saying there is still a lot of work to be done on the plan. She said construction noise and traffic, and the access road are still concerns. Leeming said the firm is looking to wrap up the study by the end of this month.

Efforts ongoing to return cherry trees to Athol properties JUBILEE, from page 1

These days the cherries aren't as plentiful as they once were but, if Athol recreation committee volunteers have their way, that may change in the coming years. Wallis said the committee is dedicated to bringing more cherry trees to the area. “Unfortunately today there aren't too many cherry orchards left in the area because they're prone to disease over time, but one of the things we're trying to do is put the cherry back in Cherry Valley,” she said. This year there weren't any cherry trees available for sale, but Wallis said the recreation committee will look each year to having more planted. While history was a major theme, Wake said the event also looked to celebrate the present with an eye toward the area's artisan offerings. “We thought we'd like to celebrate the people in the county who are making unique artisan food products,” she said.

Picton Artisan Market takes root with weekend customers Vendors report steady Sundays in first five weeks of operation Jason Parks

Staff writer

Like a plant that needs its own time to germinate and flower, the Picton Artisan Market is on the cusp of exploding into unique bloom of hand-crafted goodness. Despite some early rain showers Sunday, the foot traffic checking out the 13 vendors and their wares by mid afternoon was steady and it's clear â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Picton's artisan market, located between the historic cenotaph and the Prince Edward Chamber of Tourism and Commerce office has taken root and the buzz surrounding it is genuine. Louise McFaul, the organizer of the Picton Artisan and its sister market ,The Wellington Farmer's Market, said the Picton version is doing well for its fifth week in operation. The Chamber has given us the use of this awesome space and this location has so much going for it, it just

Market value The Nyman Farms stall at the Picton Artisan Market was a great place to visit Sunday as maple specialities including maple sausages were in high demand. The Market is open every Sunday from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.. (Jason Parks/Gazette staff)

needs its chance to grow and mature,â&#x20AC;? McFaul told the Gazette. While both operate

under the 'County Markets' moniker, the Picton Artisan Market (PAM) is a brand apart from the Wellington Farmer's Market in its offerings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didn't want visitors to either market to feel like if they went to one they've seen everything so Picton is specializing in the artisan objects. In order for a vendor to participate, items have to be hand crafted, be small batch and be made with local or close to local ingredients and/or materials,â&#x20AC;? McFaul explained. According to McFaul,

The PAM entrepreneurs are provided with a space to grow their existing businesses, customers are able to spend their disposable income locally, existing establishmentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; experience an increased flow of traffic and tourists are encouraged to return after being provided with a memorable and unique county experience.

market in Picton,â&#x20AC;? McFaul said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People want to see activity and progress in Picton. There have been so many people and organizations like PECCTAC, The Picton BIA and Taste the County that have been supportive of the market...It's a wonderful response.â&#x20AC;? Rebecca Brown and her Pink Lunch Pail Specialties offer gourmet sweets and baking, Belgian chocolate bars and truffles , gluten free specialities and plated dessert creations all made from scratch using Stirling Creamery Butter and as much local produce as possible. Brown, who also operates vending stalls at the Wellington, Bath and Kingston markets agrees the pot of potential at the PAM could soon boil over. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of the locals want this and there is potential with this space,â&#x20AC;? she said. Brown shares a stall at PAM with Carol Ann Ross of the Portland Bridge Pickling Society & Handcrafted Bread. Ross and her business partner David Conner started Portland Bridge over a love of making bread and having adjoined properties on Picton's Portland and Bridge Streets. Offering pickled delicacies of all variety, fresh bread crafted with local ingredients and vegan dips and dressings, Ross said market continues to grow week after week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think our biggest challenge is to get the word out and let people know we are here with great, unique things available,â&#x20AC;? she added. John Nyman of Nyman Farms offers his maple specialties every Sunday and the enticing grilled maple sausages make sure visitors don't go home hungry. Nyman said the market just needs time to gain recognition and the visitors would come. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The location is key. It's a great spot, it's busy and the word will spread soon enough,â&#x20AC;? he added. The PAM is open every Sunday from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. For more information on either market visit www.CountyMarkets.ca.

Back 40 Bash new Taste attraction

For more than a decade, visitors to the fall Taste celebration at the Crystal Palace have experienced an overload of flavourful foods to tempt their tongues. This year, the festival is also hoping to satisfy the ear as Taste the County announced this week it will add a country music concert , the Back 40 Bash, to the festival with the help of presenting sponsor Cool 100 and a Celebrate Ontario grant. The show will feature the rising Alberta country group High Valley, which has seen songs like â&#x20AC;&#x153;On The Combineâ&#x20AC;?, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Let It Be Meâ&#x20AC;?, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Love You For A Long Timeâ&#x20AC;? rise up the charts recently. The band, consisting of three brothers, has also built a reputation as a highquality live act playing shows with country superstars such as Reba McEntire, Brad Paisley, and Keith Urban. High Valley will share its stage Sept. 28 with more rising talent: Lindsay Broughton of Brooklin, Ontario and duo Autumn Hill. That whole program is being offered for just $25 a ticket, with sales taking place online at w w w. t a s t e c o m m u n i t y grown.com. Taste The County CEO Jeremiah MacKenzie was pleased to be able to announce the partnership and show details. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Back 40 Bash is such a fantastic addition to our flagship food and wine event, Taste! Community grown. High Valley are destined for stardom and we are so proud to be bringing musicians of this calibre to our community.â&#x20AC;? MacKenzie said his organization tries to show visitors to the county an authentic picture of what people here do in their own backyards and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just growing food. For many, he said, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s listening to good music too. -Staff

The Picton Gazette THURSDAY, AUGUST 1, 2013

Food Not Bombs movements starting new chapter in Prince Edward County with meal Aug. 11 harvest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is such a great help, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so thankful to have the people at P.E.L.C. involved.â&#x20AC;? The group has already received vegetables from Vickiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Veggies and worked to preserve some of it. The Food Not Bombs movement is also about building inclusive community by creating opportunities for people with diverse backgrounds to share a free meal. A new report by researchers at the University of Toronto shows that almost four million Canadians are struggling to put the food they need on the table because of food insecurity (http://www.news.utoronto.ca /almost-4-million-canadiansstruggle-find-food). This is not due to scarcity, but rather due to societal and political structures. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of us know that in our own community, many families struggle to put healthy food on the table,â&#x20AC;? says Renaud. This is a topic that has been discussed at the County of Prince Edward Public Libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Social Justice Group meetings and where the thought of starting a FNB group emerged. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Community meals shared together by both those with access to healthy food and those with limited access can connect people and encourage dialogue, which are essential in creating positive social change.â&#x20AC;? All FNB groups are autonomous, but there are three principles that the groups adhere to: 1) Food is always vegan/vegetarian and free to everyone without restriction 2) Food Not Bombs has no formal leaders or headquarters, and every group makes decisions using the consensus process 3) Food Not Bombs is dedicated to nonviolent direct action and

RAWS MORE D

works for social change. Some may wonder why the FNB meals are vegan. Aside from supporting the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dedication to non-violence toward all living things, the potential for problems with food spoilage are greatly reduced when dealing strictly with plant based foods. The first FNB free community meal will be in Benson Park on Sunday, Aug. 11 from noon to 2p.m. in Picton, weather permitting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone is invited, and if you can bring your own plate, cup and cutlery, that would be helpful,â&#x20AC;? says Renaud. Disc jockey Hri Neil will be spinning the tunes in the park for the day, and there are plans to hold a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Really, Really Free

Marketâ&#x20AC;? as well. If you are interested in learning more about the movement, or contributing in any way to FNB or the dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s activi-

Food Not Bombs is a group of independent collectives around the world that serves free, healthy vegan food to anyone who would like it. It is not a charity, but a social movement. The sharing can be in the form of distribution of free food to take away, or in community meals served in public spaces. The Food Not Bombs ideology is that many corporate and government priorities are skewed to allow hunger to persist in the midst of abundance. To demonstrate and counter this (and to reduce costs), a large amount of the food served by the group is surplus from grocery stores, bakeries, and markets that would otherwise go to waste. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many people have too many of certain vegetables or fruits in their backyard gardens as well,â&#x20AC;? says Christine Renaud, one of the organizers, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and we would be happy to pick up anything that people would like to donate to the community meals.â&#x20AC;?

ROOFTOP SOLAR PANELS

Wayne Fulton is a local home inspector and can be reached at 613-354-9547

wfulton@fultonhomeinspections.com

A rooftop photovoltaic power station is a system which uses one or more photovoltaic panels installed on rooftops of residential or commercial buildings. They are designed to convert sunlight into electricity and contain various components including, mounting systems, cables, inverters and other electrical accessories. Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems unquestionably reduce your carbon footprint and can extend the life of a furnace, lower hydro bills and offer security in the face of the aging electrical grid. Solar PV systems are highly engineered and are well proven worldwide, but other considerations should be factored into any decision to install the equipment on your roof. Many solar energy advocates promote the benefits of rooftop installations, but homeowners should also be aware of the risks. Walking on any roof cover has the potential of causing damage to the roof covering. Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels transform a roof into a worksite that must support both the equipment and a retinue of personnel who operate and maintain it. If the roof is not in a condition to support this, building owners could end up losing a lot of money. Prospective participants in programs like Ontario’s feed-in tariff (FIT) shouldn’t simply focus on the returns from a 20-year contract to sell electricity without considering other possible long-term repercussions. Roofing experts may estimate the roof could last another seven to nine years under normal conditions, but added traffic from housing the solar PV system is likely to speed up that timetable. The prospect of an earlier and costly roof replacement for a high-quality roof capable of supporting the solar PV systems configuration, weight and associated traffic should be factored in. Marketers are promising paybacks of seven to nine years on solar PV installations, but adding the cost of a new roof in the package will obviously change that schedule for return on invest-

ment. Promises of an even speedier payback should be viewed skeptically, and owners are advised to take bids from more than one vendor before making a decision. Homeowners should think about and contractually stipulate which party holds responsibility for issues such as added stress on the roof system, possible additional costs and/or risks of performing maintenance in close proximity to electrical equipment, and liability if roofing work causes damage to the solar installation. Homeowners should be sure to address any proposed modifications and deviations from the roof cover manufacturer’s standards prior to the installation to avoid nullifying warranties. They should also be aware that roof warranties typically exclude third party damage. Consider, too, the potential cost and logistics of decommissioning systems after the FIT contract has expired. Will the system be taken down with the same care with which it was installed? What happens to the roof should damage occur? How much pedestrian traffic can a roof that has supported a PV solar system for 20 years handle? If an existing roof is less than five years old and properly installed with good craftsmanship, upfront replacement may not be necessary, but owners should still be proactive in protecting themselves. They should always obtain an inspection and roof assessment report before and after the PV system has been installed. Do Your Homework: Start at the Canadian Solar Industries Association to find a certified installer to properly assess your energy needs and design a system. “Find one with experience in your local area who can give realistic expectations about how much power you can generate, If you’re into math, use this formula to calculate a panel’s cost-effectiveness: PV panel cost ÷ STC rating (watts) = $/watt. (STC stands for “standard test conditions,” which represent the power ratings of PV panels. For example, if a 100W panel has a power tolerance of ±5 per cent, then it’ll produce at least 95W in electricity.) However other parts of the system can influence the amount of electricity generated, so choose a reputable certified installer and ask for referrals. Buyer beware; as with any major purchase, be wary of deals that sound too good to be true. You might save cash up front, but spend more fixing an improperly installed system or replacing unsuitable parts.

Considering taking in renters? Read this first Considering taking in renters? Read this first For homeowners, renting out a room in your home, a basement apartment or purchasing an investment property can be an appealing way to help with the mortgage, utilize extra space or make a real estate investment. According to Phil Dorner, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association, beyond the additional income, a rental property can be a valuable asset to your investment portfolio, as well as useful for family needs (including housing an

aging relative or perhaps as a home for college-aged children close to campus). “While there are clear benefits, before you consider becoming a landlord, make sure that you have a good grasp of what getting into the rental property business really entails,” says Dorner. Here are a few tips for prospective landlords to get started: • Read the Residential Tenancies Act: Know your rights and responsibilities as a landlord. Understanding the Act will help protect you as a landlord and also provide clarity on the roles of landlord and tenant. • Screen tenants: Choose your tenants carefully. Make sure

that you have prospective tenants fill out an application, check their references and finally, carry out a credit check through a credit bureau. • Talk to your insurance company: Make sure to notify your home insurance company to avoid liability. • Ensure your rental suite is legal: Make sure your suite complies with municipal bylaws. If the suite is not up to standards, you will not be able to get insurance. • Learn from other landlords: Do your research and talk to successful landlords who know the lay of the land. Tapping into the expertise of successful and

experienced landlords is invaluable for first timers. Understand the responsibility and time commitment necessary in being a landlord and, if you are considering renting out a room in your home, make sure that you are comfortable making concessions in terms of your personal space and privacy. Adds Dorner, “It is also important to keep in mind that whether your rental suite is in your home or another property, the onus is on you to be available for dealing with anything that goes wrong – from a flooded basement to a broken toilet, you will need to be on call to deal with these situations if and when they should arise.”

If you are planning on purchasing an investment property, speak to your Realtor about your goals so that you can be sure that the property you choose is appropriately situated, outfitted and conducive to attracting high quality tenants.
