Vintage Wings trainers touch down at Picton airport Cadets given chance to ride in classic planes JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER

One could be forgiven if they glanced to the skies over Picton Sunday morning and wondered if they had been

transported back to the roaring days of Camp Picton and the British Commonwealth Air Training Program. Three Second World War trainers from the fleet of Vintage Wings of Canada, a notfor-profit flying museum of significant aircraft based in Gatineau, Que., stopped over at the Prince Edward Flying

Club at Picton Airport Sunday. The Yellow Wings program, an offshoot operating under Vintage Wings, landed at Picton Airport as part of the flying club's regular monthly fly-in breakfast. A vintage Fleet Finch, a de Havilland Chipmunk and a North American Harvard were in Trenton this week as

part a visit with the Central Region Gliding School. The Trenton visit was part of a campaign to bring the trainers to future pilots that included visits to Gliding Schools in St. Hubert, Que. and Borden, ON. Harvard pilot Edward Soye said over 50 Air Cadets in the advanced aviation program at

CRGS got a chance to ride in the aircraft the Royal Canadian Air Force used to train potential pilots in the early days of the Second World War. The stopover on Sunday was special for trainer pilots like Soye because of the history of Camp Picton as a flight school and the fact the airfield is among the last of its kind.

NDP’s Cassidy looks to make most of campaign period ahead of him Health-care transfers, democracy, seniors’ security longtime councillor’s priorities ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

Being the last of the three federal Bay of Quinte candidates to hit the trail doesn’t concern the NDP’s Terry Cassidy. A veteran municipal councillor for more than two decades in Quinte West, Cassidy said he’s used to lengthy campaigns and added the 11-week official audition this time is more than long enough to get a message out. “Voters don’t usually make up their minds a year or a year-and-a-half before they vote,” he said. “They like to see who is running. A number always call themselves undecided and those are the people we’re all looking to reach.” Cassidy said, typically, those people will wait until the final days of the campaign and weigh what they’ve heard. Nominated in June, Cassidy acknowledges that Conservative Jodie Jenkins and Liberal Neil Ellis have had a head start, but adds all three candidates have to work to meet people in different parts of the new riding — himself more so in the county and in Belleville and his opponents outside the Friendly City where both served on council. Cassidy indicated it took some time to bring riding associations together for the NDP, but they’re ready. “We’re ready and we’ll be coming to your door or reaching you by phone,” he said. “We are small budget and we have a small length of time, but we’re like a darkhorse in

this campaign.” Cassidy said he is riding with confidence after recent strong showings for the NDP both locally and across the country with leader Tom Mulcair polling well and the NDP making ground by winning in Alberta in May. “Last federal election (in Prince Edward-Hastings) we came second, not third. Across the country, we came second, not third,” he said. “Those thinking about strategic voting, think carefully. We’re in it to win it. Cassidy said over the years, he’s declined chances to run federally or provincially, choosing to focus municipally where he felt he could help his community most directly. One of the major reasons he wanted to make that step is his vision of the state of democracy in Canada under

the current regime. “I was at a meeting with the Fair Vote Canada people in Picton the other day, discussing the first-past-the-post system,” he said. “In 2011, only 18 per cent of people voted for the Harper Conservatives. That can’t be called democracy.” Cassidy said the incumbents’ method of campaigning has underscored that urgency within himself and some of the constituents he’s already visited. He cited the rally Prime Minister Stephen Harper held in Belleville Friday, which allowed limited access for people wishing to see him speak, including media. “There’s no way you or I would have been able to get in,” he said, adding that same day he was in Peterborough with Mulcair and three other

NDP candidates. Mulcair allowed questions and stayed to answer them. Cassidy said some people have told his campaign staff they’ve been rebuffed for asking questions of the government’s positions. “It’s a strange way to deal with electing people and democracy,” he said. “If somebody wants to challenge an NDP position, I’ll talk. I will not fight with them, but I would not walk away and ignore them either.” He questioned whether a local member could be an effective voice in a party that appears to have a top-down operation. On the hustings, Cassidy said he is looking to highlight some issues that resonate with voters in the Bay of Quinte. One, he said, is the change of Old Age Security from the age of 65 to 67. “That’s not sitting well with people who have worked their whole lives and now they’re going to have less to show for it.” Cuts in federal transfers to the provinces for health care is another key issue, particularly as the Quinte Healthcare Corporation struggles to budget. “The provinces have less money for all types of care. In Trenton, the impact on our hospital is a huge concern. In Prince Edward County, I’m sure it’s the same thing.” Cassidy said the NDP plans to support and incentivize small business, the “biggest creator of jobs in the

country,” and come up with a predictable, reliable infrastructure plan that helps municipal governments deliver items taxpayers expect at the most basic levels. He accused the government of opportunism and cynicism in its most recent

round of infrastructure funds. Another issue Cassidy said he is hearing about often is the treatment of veterans and military personnel. He said they must be afforded more respect than they have been by the current government.

Annual Ameliasburgh Street Meet features more than 250 classic cars Auto club offers entertaining weekend, supports several local causes in process JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER

When you are talking distance at the Prince Edward Automobile Club's 41st annual South Eastern Ontario Street Meet, you should measure in both kilometres and years. Sure, you can measure how many kilometres the 200plus exhibitors have travelled from their home to display their prized possessions at the weekend event on the shores of Roblin Lake. But it's the years that make the show a hit amongst exhibitors and visitors alike. Prince Edward Auto Club president Fred Morton said the show went very well and, without checking the official roster, figures there were over 250 cars on display with some participants coming from as far away as Ohio. “It's the only of its kind of show that we know of with camping and full entertainment for the car enthusiasts all weekend long,” Morton told the Gazette. Hundreds of car enthusiasts flocked to the auto club grounds and proceeds raised from the show will benefit Camp Trillium’s OuR Island, the County fire department, the Ameliasburgh museum and a host of other communi-

ty needs that the auto club supports throughout the year. A vehicle that got a lot of looks perhaps because of recent news was Mike Phinney's 1968 General Lee Dodge Charger from the 1980s hit television program The Dukes of Hazzard. Phinney's restoration, which took nearly 10 years to complete, is an impeccable example of a labour of love and no detail has been overlooked in what is a rolling tribute to the boys who were making their way the only way to they knew how. “A few people ask me if there has been any problems and there hasn't been,” Phin-

ney said of recent concerns about the Confederate flag. “Some of the people who get really excited about it and really want to check it out are African Canadian or African American. A family came up to the car at a show last week and the father explained the Dukes of Hazzard and how he grew up watching the show.” Phinney has driven his General Lee twice to Dukes of Hazzard festivals in Tennessee and the entire cast has signed parts of the car. Andy Durant of Massassauga was pretty young when his 1951 Plymouth Cam-

bridge rolled off the assembly line in Windsor. “It's a survivor car,” Durant explained. “It's all original and it's still got the six volt electrical system.” As is the case with most classic car owners at the show, the entry has a significant personal memory for Durant as he sought a Plymouth Cambridge because his father drove one when he was a kid. “It's kind of rare, being a two-door Cambridge. There were about 840 made in total,” he added. But now, Durant has decided to move on to something different and a for sale sign was hung in the window of

the Cambridge. “I might look at something that might go a little a faster,” he said with a smile. If he wanted an inspiration, he didn't have far to look. Dan Parks had one of the nicest cars on display, a candy apple red 1963 Chevrolet Corvette convertible that was originally sold in California. It was brought to Gatineau, Que. in 2005 by its past owner and now has a prime position in Parks' garage in Belleville. When the sun is not shin-

ing that is. “This, by far, have been my favourite classic car to own so far,” Parks said, adding he owns a 1971 el camino and also had an early ‘70s Camaro. “I drive it around to a few shows and if the weather is nice, I'm out in it.”

COMMENTARY Financial literacy smarter investment than ORPP

THE Ontario Registered Pension Plan, or ORPP as the provincial government advertises as the new hip acronym — despite having a majority at Queen’s Park and not needing to advertise the benefits of policy decision it fully plans to implement — seems to be getting a lot of press these days, dominating the headlines in place of new initiatives the federal parties are hoping to sell the voting electorate on. Premier Kathleen Wynne appears determined to put the pressure on Prime Minister Stephen Harper as he has said he would not help administer the system, while Harper, notoriously prickly with the press, had no problem speaking to reporters about his objections to it and his unwillingness to move forward with such a proposal if re-elected. Clearly, it is a political hot potato and that’s before many details have been rolled out. On Tuesday, the province laid out some of its plans for the ORPP. The payments would be rolled out over a four-year window starting Jan. 1, 2017 with those companies employing 500 or more people that do not have a workplace plan are expected to pay in first, companies with 50-499 the next year, and those with under 50 starting in the third year. Those who have comparable company plans will be exempt from the mandatory plan. That roll out in itself appears to suggest the government knows this plan will hurt businesses, which have to match the payment put in by their employees that start at 0.8 per cent and ramp up to 1.9 per cent of that employee’s earnings. Why else would it look to bring online those who are largest first? Nonetheless that represents a significant tax on the payrolls of some employers who would, presumably, already be hit hard by rising energy rates. Could it, therefore, be a

job killer like Harper has suggested? And what of those Ontario residents — particularly those who have been in the workforce several years — who have done what they have to do to take care of themselves, only to be told they have less disposable income in their pockets directly and a chance their employees will feel the bind with taxes they didn’t expect to pay. It will hurt. Also unsettling is the notion that the ORPP will cost public money to implement — likely much more without federal buy in — and despite campaigning on the idea, the Liberals do not know what that cost will be. That despite the sug- Jean Morrison Debbie McCann Publisher Business Manager gestion from several economists that individuals are saving enough privately to retire comfortably all while having some control and some choice about the way in which they put dollars aside. Considering the province has a rising debt load and a penchant for spending money, it doesn’t seem quite right that it should be holding that money or lecturing its residents on saving. Perhaps, a more effective and efficient policy plank would have been to introduce more financial education planning into the curriculum in Ontario schools so that young people can understand the value of saving and the needs they’ll have to provide for in their retirement. The Wynne government is likely correct that many young Ontarians don’t know what their CPP contributions will ultiKaren Gyde Christine DeMille mately give them, how voluntary contribution plans like RRSPs work, and just Classifieds Manager Classifieds what kind of expenses their grandparents or neighbours may be trying to juggle on a fixed budget. Maybe they’ll have more appreciation for budgeting and better core competency to decide for themselves where to invest their hard earned money — that should be their right, and their peril if they choose poorly. The merit, or lack thereof, of the costly ORPP is indeed worth discussing.

Stories From Our Past 1925

n Crown attorney M. R. Allison brought Criminal Code charges against the operators of the Consumer’s Club of Picton for running an illegal lottery. The club had precedent on its side, however, as a Windsor judge ruled those who bought tickets in the lottery were co-owners of the merchandise being split among them. n A new cucumber pickling operation opened on the Hepburn farm in Picton. Operator William Davies expected the firm would grow with more farmers producing the crop. n Ontario’s county councils urged the province to devise a system to number and name roads in its jurisdiction.

1935

n A hot-air balloon carrying five men left Buffalo, N.Y. and sailed over Prince Edward County before landing near Bath. Several local residents asked questions about the balloon and the Gazette received phone calls from newspapers across North America following the flight. n The Wellington arena was poised to receive an electric timing clock from the Whittail Can Company, which decided to donate five such clocks to arenas in the region. n Picton town council voted to set the 1935 tax rate at 34 mills, two mills higher than the 1934 rate. The finance committee recommended the hike.

1955

n Betty Barry, a 23-year-old Oshawa nurse, was planning to attempt to be the first person to swim from Picton to Deseronto. The nearly 26-km swim was planned as part of the Deseronto Legion’s jamboree. The swim was expected to take about nine hours. n The after effects of Hurricane Connie were felt in the county as torrential rains and high winds did considerable damage. Hundreds were hydro and telephone services. n Helen Bradley, 16, the youngest female pilot in Canada completed her first solo flight. She was trained by her father at the Prince Edward Flying Club in Picton.

1975

n A group of boys from the Clifton House in Waupoos were out on a fishing trip when they rescued a family that had been stuck on Timber Island for two days. The family’s boat was swamped by heavy waves. They had little luck attracting the attention of rescuers earlier. n Ontario was headed to a general election that fall as premier William Davis asked for the Queen’s Park legislature to be dissolved. Local PC MPP James Taylor would be challenged by NDP candidate Jan Nicol and a to-benamed Liberal. n A 30-foot yacht ran aground off Gull Point near Pt. Traverse.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Overzealous marine officer ruins couple’s county vacation

On Friday, July 24, my husband Roland and I were on a paddleboat on the Bay of Quinte at 2 p.m. on a beautiful, summer day. It was the third summer that we visited the county and the first time that we rented a cottage from John and Gisela Tomlinson. Roland and I are almost 60 years old and had spent $1,600 that week in cottage rental, meals out, clothing purchases, and Sandbanks admissions. We have both worked many years at good jobs and consider ourselves middle-class, law-

abiding, tax-paying citizens with some disposable income for holidays. Unfortunately, due to an overzealous, arrogant, rude, and condescending member of the OPP on the water, we will not be returning to your fair county. Did we have a “meth” cook operation on the paddleboat? Had we robbed the Picton bank and were making our escape on a speeding paddleboat? Did we have drugs, guns, or underage child slaves on board? No — but we did have personal flotation devices that were

out of date. Total ignorance of a life jacket that would still let you float but were no longer regulation. Officer “My-boat-is-bigger- than-yours” even tied the paddleboat to the back of his $100,000 boat and towed us two minutes down the bay to our dock. I was alternatively embarrassed, humiliated, and uncontrollably laughing at this waste of taxpayers’ money. The officer has a lot of training to do regarding the difference between a cash grab and embarrassing himself, the OPP, and Prince

Edward County. We understand that the law is black-and-white, but give me a break — fishing and taking pictures seemed harmless enough and as much as we appreciated him saving our lives, he has put a black mark on a wonderful vacation area. I have told 200 people who will tell 200 people and on and on. The $240 ticket will be paid but Prince Edward County will be off our “must-return” summer vacation spots. And thanks to John Tomlinson for being equally

appalled and for trying to help us pay the ticket. We didn’t accept his help, but he was a shining star in an otherwise disturbing afternoon. As a side note: The OPP officer angrily referred to the unfortunate story regarding the two young men who drowned in the day at 2:30 a.m. last April. Apparently rumours abound regarding those circumstances, but we think being compared to that is apples and oranges. Cyndi Burger Kitchener

Premier and her government have nothing but contempt for rural residents

WEEKEND WEATHER TODAY High

LOW A mainly sunny day is

forecast today with a call for a 40-per-cent 17chance of rain overnight.

FRIDAY

In the late 1960s, the provincial government and its allies decided to ruin another chunk of the Toronto city centre’s heritage with a new super highway called the Spadina Expressway. It was held to be absolutely essential to the economic development of the city. But that project didn’t happen. Why not? Because the Annex Residents’ Association (A.R.A.) rallied a substantial number of citizens against it. Perhaps most importantly, Queen’s Park and the city

were both immediate neighbours of these people. They were forced to listen. But it was a very ugly fight. It got to the point that locals were publicly prepared to lie down in front of construction equipment. People who live in proposed windmill areas more remotely located from Queen’s Park are infinitely less lucky, because the provincial government is not next door. it does not have to view us as a neighbour, and certainly does not do so.

that, by the way, has utterly ruined the historic Kingston waterscape. The premier advertises her governing party as one that is dedicated to bringing Ontarians together. I will content my reaction to that with a “Bah! Humbug!’ In truth, she and her government clearly have nothing but contempt for those of us living in rural areas. Otherwise she would force the wind developers to think twice: there are thousands of hectares of land in Ontario with very little natu-

The answer to that is clear: they not only are not committed to bringing Ontarians together: so long as they can have power, they just don’t give a ...fig.

Store owner Kathy McAlpineTerpstra reports the seven acre maze just south of Picton on County Road 10 will be supporting a pair of great causes in the coming weeks. “I am an animal lover so I wanted to support the Loyalist Humane Society and K9 Crusaders,” McAlpine-Terpstra said. “We will be donating all proceeds from the corn maze admission to these charities on the following dates: , Aug. 19 for Loyalist Humane Society and Aug. 26 for K9 Crusaders.” While the Loyalist Humane Society has a high profile locally, K9 Crusaders is a national group with a

chapter in the Cobourg area that rescues dogs from highkill shelters in Quebec. Not legal in this province, Quebec has shelters where liberal euthanasia programs often see dogs put down after just a day or two. “They bring a lot of dogs back from Quebec and place them in loving, forever homes,” she explained. The maze takes about 30 minutes to wander through and is about seven acres in size. It's open (weather permitting) seven days a week from 12-7 p.m. Cost is $5 per adult and $4 for children aged 5-15. -Jason Parks, Staff

While the library continually buys a broad selection of new books, there are also many of what might be called older ‘gems’ among the shelves in the library’s six branches. These are books that are repeatedly recommended by staff or library patrons that seem to unfailingly garner favourable reviews. The list is long, but we briefly offer four here for consideration. The Heart is a Lonely Hunter was published when the author, Carson McCullers, was only twentythree. On the top bestseller list when it came out in 1940, the story begins with the relationship between close friends John Singer and Spiros Antonapoulous. Both are deaf-mutes and when one is institutionalized, the story centres on the remaining man’s struggles and his relationships with those in his limited world, including a ‘tomboy’ and music lover, an alcoholic labour agitator, the local diner owner, and a principled black doctor. The novel ranked seventeenth on the list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th Century by Modern Library, and Time included it in its list of “100 Best English-language novels published from 1923 to 2005.” Canadian author Wayne Johnston’s novels, which he calls fictional history, are repeatedly recommended at the library. All are connected in some way to the writer’s beloved Newfoundland, including his eighth work of fiction, A World Elsewhere. Published in 2011, the sweeping tale travels from

INSIDE THE LIBRARY Christine Renaud

St. John’s to Princeton University, and to North Carolina at the end of the nineteenth century. A series of events leaves Landin Druken and his son destitute, but an unexpected friendship with one of the wealthiest families in America offers refuge. The price is great, however, when a deadly crime engulfs the lives of the impoverished Newfoundlanders. Like all of Johnston’s works, the book delivers remarkable writing and characters that linger long after one finishes the story. Author and playwright Timothy Findlay, who died in 2002, wrote numerous award-winning novels, but one of his lesser known ones, You Went Away, is equally deserving of attention. It’s a short read at only 217 pages and is set during World War II in Ontario, a time and place meaningful to many readers. The story of a marriage dangling by a thread, the

story reveals the turmoil between a young wife and her womanizing, alcoholic husband. Alone with her young son, she soon becomes attracted to a handsome RCAF pilot who enters their lives and offers promises of love and goodness in difficult times. The narrative is bare bones, austere, yet rich and evocative of the time of war on the homefront. A delicate balance of relatable story and authentic characters make this a memorable book. Mystery books remain perennial favourites and the Flavia de Luce series by Canadian author Alan Bradley — who now lives on the Isle of Man in the United Kingdom — seems to unfailingly entertain both avid mystery readers and those who never identify as such. Bradley’s acclaimed The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie, the first in the series, introduces Flavia, the avid 11-year-old chemist who solves murder mysteries in the English village of Bishop’s Lacey. Set in 1950, in crumbling Buckshaw manor, all of the eccentric family members bring something to the table in the sleuthing, but it’s the calculating and clever Flavia that wins over readers. These are detective stories with a hint of Agatha Christie and with seven written so far, there are enough to keep fans satisfied for a while.

East Lake stewardship plan up for approval today Site planning for new Proposed official plan amendment features 58 actions to maintain, improve watershed CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

The East Lake and watershed stewardship plan will be coming before councillors at this morning's committeeof-the-whole meeting where the project's steering committee is expected to ask that it be accepted as an official plan amendment. The plan was funded through an Ontario Trillium Foundation grant of $69,100, $40,000 through Cottage Advisors of Canada, and $9,350 through the Prince Edward-Lennox and Addington Community Futures Development Corporation. The steering committee includes French Planning Services, Quinte Conservation, the municipality's planning department, and the

Friends of East Lake (FOEL). Completed in September 2014, the plan's purpose is to outline, maintain, and strengthen the natural environment and social features of East Lake and its watershed into the future. Quinte Conservation general manager Terry Murphy is expected to present the plan to councillors. The East Lake plan kicked off in 2012 with the County, Quinte Conservation and FOEL initiating a collaborative process, hiring French Planning Services to consult on the project. More than two years later and after completing workshops with local stakeholders — residents, business owners, and farmers included — the steering committee will be looking for council to act on the plan's recommendations.

There are 58 recommended actions within the stewardship plan which reflect and build upon background information collected through the 2013 state-ofthe-lake report and information from public consultations. For example, the plan recommends broad-based water quality analyses of the lake and its incoming streams every three to five years and seek no net increase in levels over time. Another recommended action is to seek funding and establish a program to assist landowners in the renaturalization of their shorelines. The plan also suggests that all commercial development along the East Lake shoreline should be appropriate in size, scale and density so that it protects and

enhances the established natural environment. The plan will also give property owners advice on how to best protect and preserve the lake's features. This includes details on land use, development, water quality as well as species in the area. The plan is the first such study for any of the County's inland lakes. The East Lake watershed has a drainage area of about 68 square kilometres including the 12-square kilometre lake. Significant areas within the watershed include Sandbanks Provincial Park, the Beaver Meadow Conservation Area and extensive marsh beds at the eastern and western ends of the lake. Committee of the whole was to meet this morning at 9:30 a.m.

Appreciation Day

LCBO store continues CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

The site plan for a new LCBO store in Picton was on the docket for this morning's committee-of-the-whole meeting. The main entrance to the new 739-square metre retail building would be on Lake Street with a secondary oneway entrance/delivery entrance on Main Street. Drivers would not be permitted to enter Main Street from the secondary entrance. Signage advising drivers of the restriction would be erected and directional arrows would be painted on the asphalt to indicate the same. Parking would move to the rear of the building. Site plan drawings indicate the property could accommodate about 42 parking spaces. Plans for the new LCBO received much attention in May and early June as council was set to discuss granting a minor variance to allow the building to have no setback from the sidewalk. A significant group of concerned residents opposed that concept. The minor variance approval was required because County bylaws call for a front yard setback of seven and a half metres and a side yard setback of six metres. Ultimately the developer presented a slightly altered plan that would see the build-

ing moved to the south by one metre from Main Street, while maintaining the zero setback from Lake Street and the variance was approved at a special committee of adjustment meeting. The approved new minor variance resulted in increased landscaped open space, up to 24.5 per cent from 21 per cent, and fewer parking spaces. County staff were satisfied the minor variance application met all requirements, but some residents still had concerns. Resident Carol Penhale said many residents felt the variance wasn't a minor change. “The residents do not consider the proposed setback variance to be minor and that the proposed changes are very impactful to the community of west Main Street,” she said at the June 9 special committee of adjustment meeting. Penhale said the residents weren't opposed to the LCBO location, but wanted to make sure the building would be appropriate for the neighbourhood. The response from the community also had council questioning the municipal planning process and subsequently it was decided by council that site plan approval reports would come to committee of the whole rather than directly to council meetings in order to give the public more time to learn about the projects and comment.

HANGING OUT Luc Beaubien has some fun while suspending himself upside down on the aerial hoop at the Circus Academy’s one-week camp in Wellington last week. He knew he was safe with coach Libby Sparks spotting him on the apparatus.(Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

Circus camp allows children to soar Academy makes rare trip outside of city to teach eager youth at Wellington arena ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

The circus came to town last week and it offered a rare and exciting opportunity for some lucky young hopefuls. The Circus Academy runs a series of camps for children from two locations in Toronto throughout the summer, but generally it doesn’t ask its coaches to live the road life that many associate with the artistic endeavour. Following a successful introduction to the county at last year’s Hillier Park Day, however, the academy accepted a rare opportunity to reach a rural audience as a pair of coaches took their equipment to Wellington’s Essroc Arena. One of those coaches, Libby Sparks, said she got the gig because her father and his wife now live in the area. Normally, she and co-coach Lester Green perform together around Ontario’s capital city. During the summer, they share their passion for circus with youth. “I wanted to do circus since I was a little girl. It was similar to dance, but it had almost more depth to it — you’re not limited to the ground. You can travel up and down and you can spin,” Sparks said. “There’s a lot of room to be creative and to be fun.” She said she had a lot of fun being able to teach the group from age 5-12 how to do some tricks on apparatus like the trampoline, trapeze, silks, acrobatic hoop, and rope, as well as some floor

stunts like walking on balls, balancing each other using their weight, juggling, and hula hooping. Seeing her disciples learn the joy of movement themselves and progress over the five-day period was worth the effort she put in. “It’s very rewarding to see them learn not only of the joys of playing on this playground in a sense, but also finding awareness of their body and learning how to control their limbs and find their strength,” she said, adding there’s not a lot of activity to hang upside down or to be active in a structured, creative setting without the pressure of competition like

in gymnastics or team sports. Naturally, some of the acrobatics were scary for some participants at first, but Sparks said it didn’t take long for many to overcome their apprehension. “If you explain it in a way they understand that they’re safe and we’re spotting them (it works),” she said. “There’s a bit of fear, but it gets conquered because they see their friend doing it and think if they can do it, I can do it.” She added if a try was unsuccessful one day, participants could always try again the next day if they chose to do so.

Participants receive chance to show off acrobatic skills in front of audience CIRCUS, from page 7

Typically, each day would start with the participants playing a warm-up game to get them physically active. Then, they’d be able to rotate through the different apparatus to see which ones they might like to try. By the end of the week, the participants would narrow their participation to an activity or two they liked best and did really well on to participate in a live show for their parents Friday afternoon. By the morning before the big show, Sparks said

she felt things were coming along nicely. “They’ve learned the basics,” she said. “Some who were scared on Monday now have more tricks than the rest. They’ve all made friends, they know each other’s names and they help each other.” Luc Beaubien was one of the participants who decided to come to camp after seeing the circus day demonstration in Hillier last August. He said he came to camp with a goal. “I really wanted to do the silks,” he said. “It’s a cloth

you climb up and wrap it around your leg and keep pulling yourself up.” Beaubien said it can be a challenge because sometimes his foot would slip and sometimes his hand would slip and the hold would not stand up. He acknowledged it was a bit scary, but didn’t worry. “There’s a mat at the bottom,” he said. He added he also found the rope a bit trickier than he expected. Beaubien said he felt he likely would return to camp next year and he has already

talked a friend into coming back if it is offered again. He felt lucky to be involved. “It’s a lifetime chance,” he said. Most kids don’t get to do it.” Lacy Munroe said she also enjoyed her week and was excited to share the tricks she learned in any way that she could. “You get to be in a circus and you can teach other people tricks,” she said. Munroe said she felt her coaches made the experience an enjoyable one as “they’re nice and they help us learn.”

Her favourite activity was the trampoline. Sparks said she’s hopeful the camp will continue in Wellington next year to build on its positive start. She also is enthusiastic about the possibility that circus training may reach more young people in more locations in the years to come. She said there’s really no trick to who can be involved in the activities. “Some (participants) have maybe tried it once or twice, but they do not have any formal rigorous training,” she said, adding some

dance, some have done gymnastics and many are just active children who have been involved in any number of sporting activity. That helps, but it isn’t a necessity. “Anyone can try it. It takes a bit of time to grow their strengths,” she said. In the meantime, those interested in learning more about circus are invited to attend the Hillier Circus Festival this Saturday at Jack Taylor Park from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Aerial acrobatics, juggling, and clowns are among the many mini-big top activities planned.

Stag and Doe offers high-energy, twist-filled comedy Two couples share one hall, many mishaps in latest Festival Players’ show

Heron House offers a variety of small classes, private & semi-private sessions in Pilates, Yoga, Rebounder & P.T.

ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

“We have a winner.” Playwright Mark Crawford could have been referencing his own script for Stag and Doe when he wrote those words as the last line to wrap up a wild couple hours on the stage. There was no shortage of laughs under the big tent at Rosehall Run Thursday as a capacity crowd enjoyed Festival Players’ production of the year-old comedy. The performance was among of the best written and executed comedy presented on a county stage in recent memory. It’s wedding season in small-town Ontario and a young couple is embarking on an increasingly popular ritual to throw a party to pay for their big day. Nothing will be left undone — there will be games, food, and plenty of liquor to toast the couple for finally taking the plunge toward marriage. It’s a phenomenon that captured Crawford’s attention in 2004 when his own brother was preparing to get married. One, he noted, was worth examining because of all the couples, their friends and families and, indeed, the broader community has invested. “Stag and does are a rural Ontario phenomenon,” he noted in the show’s playbill. “On one hand, they’re a shining example of communities coming together to support their own. On the other hand, they’ve become part of an expensive and stress-inducing wedding industry.” Bride-to-be Bonnie (Katie Lawson) and her maid of honour Dee (Lisa Norton) are busy in the kitchen of the community hall preparing for the festivities that night, dreamily thinking of what’s to come when life begins throwing wrenches into the best laid plans. First, Bonnie’s fiance Brad (Craig Pike) has trouble getting the liquor for the event because he’s maxed out his credit cards on wedding purchases, only to find out she doesn’t exactly have any disposable cash after blowing the budget on a dress Brad very clearly reminds her she’ll only wear once. Tension ensues but, of course, it’s only the start of the day’s fun. With the couple still ill-atease, the realize how small a town they live in when another couple, Amanda (Ferelith Young) and Rob (Andrew Fleming) burst onto the scene demanding to use the hall for their own wedding that day because a freak storm destroyed their outdoor farm setup in the worst possible way. Irritated — particularly because the other couple has a back story that’s a little too close for comfort — but desperate to make their own budget, Brad and Bonnie are convinced by Dee to accept a compromise to share the venue that night. The action clearly escalates with a wide range of

calamities that strike both couples and new ones that are introduced through the wedding caterer Jay (Iain Stewart) and his own difficulties living up to the pressure of the big day. The script is tightly woven, uproariously funny, and best of all, it still manages to leave audiences hanging about what might lie ahead for the characters as the night progresses and as they have to consider the rest of their lives together. Director Sarah Phillips has selected an outstanding cast and they seem to work nicely as an ensemble. Norton’s Dee character appears to be one audiences can empathize with. She plays a grounded, fun-loving girl next door and shows depth as someone who tries to rise above the shenanigans around her to make the best of the day for her friends and for herself. Lawson shows the energy a bride-to-be can have,

while Pike uses timing and some well-crafted lines to make himself a believable farm boy who seems a bit uneasy about everything unfolding before him. Young deserves a special mention for playing the bridezilla that everyone fears to extreme levels and pulling off a challenging role convincingly. Fleming milks the type of audience reaction it appears Crawford was aiming for with his character, while Stewart shows warmth and humanity in an unexpected way. Though the action is raw and wacky, it eventually leads to a neat resolution Crawford has written that alerts audiences to what is most important amid the craziness. Credit also goes to the company for creating a realistic, simple set that was a constant throughout the show. Real cabinets and appliances and running water add to its effectiveness. Stag and Doe runs until Aug. 23 from Wednesdays

Launch, colouring event set for Aug. 22 at Books & Company ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

Hedy Campbell, a longtime exhibitor at Art in the County and a Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Universitytrained art instructor, recently decided its time to launch an adult colouring book. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I say adult colouring book, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not because of sexy pictures, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because of the skill level required,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are many tiny details to colour.â&#x20AC;? Campbell has toyed with the idea of illustrating a colouring book for adults for several years, but found recent trends made it an ideal time. More adults are turning to colouring as a relaxing pastime and Campbell had some ready subject matter she loves that she felt others would enjoy too. The result is An Artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Garden, a book inspired by the gardens Campbell has maintained at her Rose Cottage Studio on Agnes Street. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to really make people think about the garden and what you can do with the things you grow yourself,â&#x20AC;? Campbell said, noting many people are into the slow food movement right now. In the book, which she assembled herself on heavy paper with illustrations on one side only, Campbell not only ties together the garden theme with highly detailed illustrations of seed packages, plants, and garden implements, there are also some recipes to suggest how people can prepare their own food

from the garden. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of them are mine and some of them are things my mother used to do,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all simple things, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like you would find in a cookbook.â&#x20AC;? Campbell said the drawings she included were years in the making and she took them out for revisions every now and then. All of them, she said, were created right here in the county. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always work at my kitchen table and it looks right out on the garden,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I find things I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t incorporated and add them into my pages.â&#x20AC;? Campbell said she hopes the book will also help to promote the many beautiful gardens in this county. The book will be launched Saturday, Aug. 22 at Books & Company from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Campbell said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll give a talk at 11:30 a.m. and provide pencil crayons to allow adults and older youth to be able to try their hand at colouring throughout the afternoon. Copies of the book will also be on sale. In recent weeks, two adult colouring books have appeared on Amazonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bestseller list, so Campbell might

Chilean exchange offers Conroy a chance to learn valuable life lessons Wellington teen says life in South America wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t easy, but she made the best of her time ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

WORTHWHILE EXPERIENCE Outbound exchange student Grace Conroy, left, thanked the Rotary Club of Picton and its president Rob Leek for sponsoring her trip to Chile where she learned a great deal about herself. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

Grace Conroyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 11-month youth exchange to San Bernardo, Chile might not have gone as she planned, but she wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change it. The 18-year-old Wellington native visited her sponsors at the Rotary Club of Picton Tuesday to report on her time in the South American country. She didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t try to paint a picture that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t true. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t an easy year,â&#x20AC;? Conroy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were fun spots where I got to go on trips and see amazing things I never dreamed Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d ever see. That doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meant the entire year was fantastic or even easy, a lot of it sucked.â&#x20AC;? Conroy explained it was difficult immersing herself in a culture where everyone spoke a different language. She said, at first, the locals found she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t under-

stand them and wrote her off. Then, by the time she did start to understand, they assumed she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. She also reported that some friends were more interested in showing her off as an accessory, rather than being a friend, and others simply werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t good to be around. That said, she tried to take as much as she could from the time and grabbed hold of life lessons along the way. Learning Spanish was a tremendous positive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The most important thing to me is the language I acquired,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had to learn (Spanish) from scratch. I wanted to see how long it would take to learn it. It took three months to understand it fluently, six months to speak it fluently and maybe seven or eight to read and write as well as I do now.â&#x20AC;? A second positive was

Conroyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s host mother, Lilian Bernal Norambuena, whom she said was an inspiration. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC; Conroy explained she was an active feminist and a leading professor. Instead of picking jobs that would pay her more money, she taught students who otherwise could not afford the best teachers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything about her was inspirational. She truly loved me and I loved her,â&#x20AC;? she said. The trips were also exciting. In November, Conroy was able to take a five-day trip to the most southern points of Chile. There, she was able to see an untouched mountain range where Charles Darwin charted on his journey and discovered natural selection. She took a trip to a beach in Brazil with classmates for some relaxation on a beach, allowing her to say sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d visited another country. A most-anticipated trip was to Easter Island (Rapa Nui), well-known for its large stone faces. While Conroy said it was a beautiful island, she found it was not all it was cracked up to be. She did, however, like a rule that prohibits people from buying land if they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already own land there, leaving it for people who lived there and the traditions they kept. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really honourable,â&#x20AC;? she said. A final trip with her family brought Conroy to a region near the Calbuco volcano,

which erupted for the first time in 54 years not long after her return from the trip. There, she had the thrill of jumping off a waterfall. Asked a question by a Rotarian about differences in the economy, Conroy said she found food and clothes were cheaper but any form of entertainment or something frivolous was more expensive. In the end, some of the most important things Conroy saw came from within. The first, she said, was confidence. She now knows she can go to another hemisphere and survive. She can navigate a city by herself, live alone, budget, and stand up for herself. She also learned that sometimes, life can be difficult and sometimes peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actions wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make sense. She said she found one just has to deal with it. Sometimes, she said, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a young person, I decided that was probably the best thing I could learn, that was the best life experience.â&#x20AC;? Conroy also said she found being a Canadian is something to be proud of. Despite some of the difficulties, Conroy reaffirmed she was really glad to be chosen and to participate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Please continue to do this,â&#x20AC;? she urged Rotarians. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have an amazing year, but I learned amazing things. I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take it back for the world.â&#x20AC;?

The Picton Gazette

What is a medical scooter? What are the laws regarding its use on local roads?

You see them out and about. People on scooters seem to be everywhere and with so many seniors in the county it follows that many have these units. Lots of seniors have mobility issues and a scooter makes it easier to get around. The Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) calls a personal mobility device, also including a motorized wheelchair or a medical scooter. According to the web site of the MTO these devices do not require registration, licence plates, driver's licence or vehicle insurance. Anybody operating such devices are treated in the same way as pedestrians. The web site goes on to say that wheelchairs (including medical scooters) can be driven by muscular power or other types of power, and are designed for and used by people whose mobility is limited by one or more conditions or functional impairments. In general, municipalities can establish bylaws for where wheelchairs (and medical scooters) can or cannot be used. I had a look at the website for the Corporation of the County of Prince Edward and I did-

INFO FOR SENIORS Debbie MacDonald Moynes

n’t find any information on the operation of wheelchairs or medical scooters. The other day I saw a person on a medical scooter driving it on the road right beside a perfectly good sidewalk. A sidewalk should be the first choice for someone using one of these devices and if there’s no curb access to the sidewalk, the operator should get themselves onto the sidewalk as soon as possible.

If there is no sidewalk available, people using personal mobility devices should travel, like pedestrians, along the left shoulder of the roadway facing oncoming traffic, according to the MTO website. If these devices were considered a vehicle then they would travel in the same lane as a car but they are not a vehicle so they should travel as a pedestrian would. There aren’t any Canadian rules or regulations covering motorized wheelchairs or medical scooters. Some of these devices can reach speeds of 15km/hour and there have been issues in some communities with seniors having accidents, and even running into other pedestrians. Some vendors provide training while others apparently do not. Some provinces are giving consideration to regulating scooters because of accidents and deaths of users. In the absence of training courses for those who use medical scooters it seems reasonable that people should get training from their vendor if possible. And then, when using the

scooter, remember that you are considered to be a pedestrian. Use the sidewalk and go slow enough that you don’t run into or over other people. Make sure you can be seen. Think about wearing a reflective vest and putting a flag on your scooter. When crossing the road, use the sidewalk just like a pedestrian would, and be sure that the traffic stops before venturing out into the crosswalk. Use common sense and be careful so that you can maintain your mobility in a way that is safe for both you and those around you. Give us a call at the Community Care office if you need information on financial help to purchase a medical scooter.

Quaiff writes second letter to provincial ministers Mayor accuses Wynne government of discrimination against rural Ontarians CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

Mayor Robert Quaiff continued to voice his displeasure with the White Pines wind turbine project's approval last week, sending a followup letter to provincial officials criticizing their response to Prince Edward County's complaints. As reported last week, Quaiff received responses from the offices of Premier Kathleen Wynne and environment minister Glen Murray indicating they would not be meeting with the mayor to discuss the project as the project is under appeal. Quaiff had previously expressed concern that a

response wouldn't come forward until it was too late to meet and indicated he wasn't surprised with that result in his most recent letter, dated Aug. 5. “It is with great regret, but no surprise, I acknowledge the receipt of a telephone call on July 30, 2015 from an aide in the Premier’s office, and the July 31, 2015 letter from Minister Murray, in response to my plea to meet with you directly to discuss the issue of the wpd White Pines Wind Incorporated industrial turbine development,” Quaiff says in the opening line of the letter. Quaiff says his past letters were clear and direct and Wynne and Murray's refusal to speak with him has made it “clearer than ever that neither of you understand nor care about the irreparable damage” that could happen to the county as a result of the development. Quaiff says

the White Pines and Gilead installations would cause harm to the county's tourism and hospitality industry, the county economy, and would impact numerous animals and habitats. “I await your explanation as to why protection is permanently afforded to Point Pelee National Park and its migration path, but not to the greater migration volume which visits the sites now threatened by your latest demonstration of irresponsible and ideologically-driven destruction,” Quaiff says. Quaiff said shortly after receiving negative responses from Wynne and Murray, Sandbanks Provincial Park was filled to capacity. He suggested that wouldn't be the case if the turbine projects move forward. “I assure you that it will not, for those tourists will be driven away by the industrialization of Ontario’s former

crown jewel with the disappearance of these vistas,” he says. He says its starting to look as if “the legacy of this term of government will be the destruction of and discrimination against rural Ontario.” “The waste of literally billions of dollars of taxpayers’ money, both occasioned by the Green Energy Act and the complete lack of cost analysis and informed technical advice which should have preceded its introduction,” says Quaiff. In closing, Quaiff says he's discouraged by the apparent lack of concern and calls on the province once again to impose a moratorium on all new wind facilities including White Pines. Four appeals — one by the developer — have been filed against the project's renewable energy approval.

Milkweed, Russian sage attract butterflies and bees

Last week’s article on bees has lead to more questions, and here are some possible answers. Bees, like birds, need water but are not looking to have a bath at the same time, so they clearly cannot use the same source. A shallow dish, like those put under pots, is the right size and depth. Cover the bottom with pebbles, making sure that many are large enough to rise above the water level and provide a dry base for the bees. Clean and refill regularly as you would a birdbath. I will not provide a list of “bee-friendly” plants as the library or the Internet can do the job better as they generally have numerous pictures as well as times of blooming which can help you to make a choice. Your favourite nursery can generally provide help as well. Instead I will provide a description of a two of my favourites for spring, early summer and late summer fall. Perhaps unsurprisingly, a number of plants grown to attract butterflies also attract bees. And to my surprise a number of blossoming plants attract more that one species of bees. In the spring, favourite bee magnets are members of the cat mint family, Nepeta faassenii or grandiflora as they begin to bloom before the end of May but will continue to bloom, though less vigorously, during the summer. They produce small tubular irregularly two lipped flowers along their branches, in shades of violet or lavender blue. The plants are generally less than 25 cm in height and can spread. Keep them cut back to a width that works in your garden. Another plant that begins

ASK A MASTER GARDENER Sandra Goranson

to bloom at the same time is the true geranium also known as geranium cranesbill and is a perennial. There is also a variety of annual plants in our climate that are sold as geraniums but whose botanical name is Pelargonium and which do not appear to attract bees. The best bee magnets in my garden are a species known as G. phaeum that has small slightly reflexed dark purplish blue flowers on cymes or branches and large lobed leaves often with purplish brown markings. These two plants are followed by a number of flowering food plants, both vegetable and fruit, that begin to bloom in late spring and will often continue to bloom through the summer as was mentioned in last weeks article. Flower gardens, both wild and cultivated, contain a number of plants of various species of the genus Asclepias. Perhaps one of the best known of the wild

plants is the common milkweed, A. syriaca, that supports the monarch butterfly caterpillar. Our county is listed in the international treaty between Canada, the U.S. and Mexico for protecting their migration route. There are now numerous varieties of milkweed developed for the home garden. The wild variety has large clusters of greenish pink purple small flowers. The ones adapted for the home garden can be those colours as well as white. The clusters are smaller being about 10 cm across. There is also the butterfly weed, A. tuberosa. They have small clusters about 5 cm across of smaller orange, yellow or pink flowers or some variation of these colours. They bloom later than the common milkweed variety. In late summer and early fall my Russian sage, Pervoskia atriplicifolia, attracts more that one species of bee and is literally humming with its live visitors. I did not buy these plants with that expectation but have enjoyed them nonetheless. The plant stalks of this shrubby plant are covered with 12 cm plus branches lined with small tubular two lipped flowers. The other plant that is blooming now and will continue to bloom well into fall is primarily grown for but-

terflies. This plant is known as the butterfly bush, Buddlei davidii. The blossoms form on branches ranging from 5 to 10 cm densely covered with small tubular flowers and the overall shape is like a narrow cone. The variety I grow has dark blue purple flowers but they are also available in white and various shades of pink. They do best if they are deadheaded at least weekly. Given their height, mine are about 1.5 m this is not difficult. There are many more such plants that will all give your gardens an extra buzz! For those that are fearful, bees are not likely to easily give their lives away as, unlike wasps, they will die if they sting you. To reduce their response to you avoid light coloured clothing and scents of all kinds. Most of the plants listed above are scented, which adds to their attraction for bees. Do not provoke them by swatting at them. Just leave the area of the plants that are attracting bees. Send your gardening questions to askamastergardener@bell.net.

PECSA wraps up house league season at Parks tournament More than 650 young athletes spent time on county soccer pitches this summer JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER

It was another great season for the Prince Edward County Soccer Association (PECSA) as the house league wrapped up with the annual year-end Gary Parks Soccer Tournament. Under blue skies and bright sun, local players aged 4-17 tried their best, utilizing the skills they developed all season long. PECSA president Pam McRae surveyed the finals action on Sunday afternoon and told the Gazette another great season was about to go into the books. She thanked sponsors — both new and returning — for outfitting about 650 local youth this season. As has been the case in years past, the Association got into the spirit of the FIFA Women's World Cup and most PECSA teams wore kits whose colours were inspired by national teams

competing at this summer's event held in Canada. The total number of local kickers this season didn't come close to the high water mark PECSA enjoyed about 10-12 years ago when nearly 1,000 players would sign up annually. While dwindling numbers of children in this community is partly to blame, McRae said losing the Under-9 age division is also a factor. “We are down in registered players overall but part of that is due to the fact we couldn't run an Under 19 age group this past season,” McRae said, adding that if there is enough interest, she and PECSA “would be happy to get that age group up and running again.” On Saturday morning, PECSA executive memberat-large and founder Scott Wentworth presented the 2015 coach-of-the-year award that bears his name.

Clippers’ camp develops skills, ethic Coaches give time to help participants find competitive edge ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

The halls at PECI were eerily quiet Tuesday morning as they are most summer days — that is, until one came within earshot of the gymnasiums and heard the unmistakable thumping of basketballs pounding against the court. The County Clippers filled practically all of the 60 spots for this year's Elite Summer Camp, enough that the boys and girls each had their own full court to be put through their paces by coaches who have paid their own dues in the game. With the shriek of a whistle, the sound of dribbling stops in Gym B and there is almost silence, save that of a last second shot clunking off the backboard and down. Coach Taylor Reddick, a St. Lawrence College Viking who had an illustrious high school career at PECI, starts barking instructions and the host of young boys who had been scattered about in play hang on his every word. Reddick said later that as a coach, he wants to give the players an insight of what he has experienced in the game and to ensure they keep a

competitive edge and the right attitude as they approach skills development. "We want to bring a bit more drive to these camps and keep a little competition in the back of their heads," he said. "A lot of them are going into high school and we want to get a good sense

into their heads now that it's a different game going to play OBA or high school basketball. They'll be playing kids from across the province and that can be intimidating. "We don't want to scare them or intimidate them, but we do want to make them

better players. We keep it light and fun, but also convey that when it's time to work, you be serious and you've got to work." Every day, the participants at the Clippers camp go through a series of drills that help to develop the core skills they need to be successful — dribbling, form shooting, layups, and positioning. Players are encouraged those drills will pay off later in the day and, indeed, when they get back into the gymnasium next months to help their rep and school programs. "It's simple stuff on paper, but it's really the stuff that helps you perform in games and win along the way. It's the tedious, little drills that make them go the distance," said Reddick. Coach Paige Smith, who also played college ball at Seneca, said there's a chance to build on the drills. "At the end of the day, we like to incorporate everything into one-on-ones, two-ontwos, and scrimmages," she said, adding there's also a shooting competition every day for prizes. With that extra incentive, it ensures the players are focused on improving and doing their drills properly. There are also awards for each day's most-improved and hardest-working players.

Minor hockey planning registration, equipment swap prior to season Parents can save money by swapping, selling donated gear with other families Aug. 23-24 JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER

While there are still a few precious days left in the summer of 2015, attention is already starting to spread to the great frozen game. Locally, the Prince Edward County Minor Hockey Association (PECMHA) has started its intake process for the 201516 season with both an online option and in-person registration sessions. But that's not the only news coming from the local minor hockey group. President Darren Marshall reports PECMHA is starting an initiative to make it easier on parents who are tasked with outfitting their children for the upcoming season by organizing an equipment swap, CLOSE QUARTERS Ronnie B’s Connor Cruickshank shields Yee- trade and sale. boo Digital midfielder Isaac Cairns from the ball in Under 16 “It's a concept we've been action at the Gary Parks Soccer Tournament this weekend.

PECSA was blessed with a great compliment of volunteer coaches. This season's recipient of the coach-of-the-year award was Peter Hymus who skippered both the Under 7 West Lake Watersports squad and the Under-9 Picton Home Hardware club. “In watching Peter, he really epitomizes the things PECSA stands for and believes in,” Wentworth said. “He is positively influencing these young kids, building their self esteem, and teaching the lessons while having a whole lot of fun doing it.” In terms of top finishers in the various age brackets, the Timbit teams wearing yellow, navy and royal bblue were all winners of their respective division.

MEMORIAM

MEMORIAMS

GORSLINE- Anna Marie. In loving memory of a dear wife, who passed away August 15, 2014. We often think of bygone days, When we were all together, The family chain is broken now, But memories will live forever. To us, she has not gone away, Nor has she traveled far, Just entered God’s eternal home, And left the gate ajar. Love Lionel.

GORSLINE, In memory of Bonnie Gorsline, April 15, 1950 - August 15, 2014 “Mom” I look up to the sky and talk to you What I wouldn’t give to hear you talk back.

In loving memory of a daughter, Mom and grandma, who left us August 16, 1988.

We shall meet in a better land Never to part again. Sadly missed by son Arnold & Sue. MOWBRAY, In loving memory of a dear wife, mother and grandmother, Leona Mowbray, who passed away August 10, 2005. Remember her with a smile today She was not one for tears. Reflect instead on memories, Of all the happy years. Recall to mind the way she spoke And all the things she said Her strength, her stance, the way she walked, Remember these instead. The good advice she’d give us Her eyes that shone with laughter So much of her will never die But live on ever after. As we loved you, so we miss you In our memory you are near. Loved and remembered by Patrick, her children and grandchildren.

MOWBRAY, Leona. In loving memory of our dear sister who passed away August 10, 2005 Sadly missed along life’s way, Quietly remembered everyday, No longer in our life to share, But in our hearts, she’s always there. Love Always, Pat, Anne

LAST WEEK’S SOLVED

Council will be meeting again today to discuss the process to address the composition of council. Mayor Robert Quaiff has called a special council meeting for today at 2 p.m. in Shire Hall in order to approve the process that will be used when taking the issue of electoral ward boundaries and the size of council to the public. That discussion is expected to include the approval of a survey and a facilitator program. The agenda for today's meeting suggests that Ron Broadbridge and Rob Leek are to be considered for the facilitator position and council will also consider a $125 fee per session plus mileage. A draft of the proposed online survey included on the agenda asks residents to rank their preferred option: “How would you like to see council resolve the issue of size of council and electoral boundaries?” The survey is also to be available on hard copy. Nine public consultation dates have already been established — Bloomfield Town Hall Sept. 1; Wellington Town Hall Sept. 3; Athol Town Hall Sept. 9; Ameliasburgh Kente School Sept. 10; Hillier Town Hall Sept. 15; Sophiasburgh Town Hall Sept. 21; North Marysburgh Town Hall Sept. 23; Picton Prince Edward Community Centre Sept. 24; and South Marysburgh Town Hall Sept. 30. Each meeting is slated to run from 7–9 p.m. Council narrowed the options to four — the status quo, John Thompson's plan 13 of 14 council members (13 councillors and a mayor), Gary Mooney's N.E.W. Plan with 13 council members, and Quaiff's two-ward system with 11 council members. Quaiff also said the public meetings would give the public another opportunity to voice their concerns and it will ultimately be up to council to decide which way to go.

Players can take drills they learn and work on them at home CAMP, from page 16

Smith said the camp was designed under the leadership of Clippers founder Rob Garden as a means to keep players focused on their basketball year-round and to inspire them to improve. "Some of them work or have other things to do during the summer, so it's good to have a designated time to work on their skills with some people they can look up to," she said. "Also, all of the stuff they're learning here, they can do at home. We have small drills that they can take and work on in the driveway." While it may be a bit of a handful for coaches to be

working with players across a five-year age window — participants can be going into Grade 5 all the way to Grade 10 — that's also part of the design. It allows the young players to feel pushed and it also forces the older ones to consider the mantle of leadership and mentorship. Smith said she always tries to put players in a position where they are competitive. "When we're doing partner drills or group drills, I like to say 'Get someone of the same size, skill, and intensity.’” Reddick added he picks and chooses how hard to push players. He'll give some of the older guys a harder time if they miss layups, but he'll take a younger player under his wing and teach him something based on that player's strengths. Jack MacCool is back for his second year at camp. He returned because he believes it is working. "It's a great program. It helps everybody improve.

older and this is a great program to get started in that," he said. "The camp made me feel more confident in my game. It taught me a few things I didn't know very well." This year, MacCool said he set his goals to work on finishing in contact and improving his jump shot. He's been able to do both and still find time to help other players progress and learn techniques that will help their own games. He said campers are fortunate to have role models coaching like Reddick, Smith, and PECI Panther Blaine Swackhammer, who led the boys and rep coachesVeronica Barber-Pin and Kelsey McKibbon, and Panther Hailey Van Rossum, who worked with the girls. "It's really cool. You can see they've played at a high level and are really good players." Generally, the coaches say they're out at camp because of a strong love of the game and a way to give back to their community and those who helped them succeed at basketball. Smith and Reddick

each said they firmly believe in the idea and wish that there were similar camps when they were younger. "It's so important. Basketball is an all-around season, just as any sport is these days," Reddick said. "The off-season is when things pick up a lot. You want to be ready and you want to have that edge on guys and this is the time to do it. You work hard here, you work on something you're not used to working on, and when you go back to your team, that'll make you a better player." He said the players have bought into that example and worked hard, making it a pleasure to be a coach. The Clippers will allow many of those players to put their teachings to work right here in the county this fall. The organization is running teams at the Under-12 and Under-14 girls levels and the Under-14 boys level. There will also be an Under-16 boys team in the spring. Parents are encouraged to visit www.countyclippers.ca for tryout dates.

Yellow Wings’ visit the first since 2011 WINGS, from page 1 When initially tasked with fighting the Axis aggressor, The RCAF started with just six training airfield but quickly erected over 100 from 1939 to 1941. Of those airfields which were designed to maximize operational space and runway efficiency, just a handful are left in Canada and Picton is in the best condition. “It was really important to make a stop here and offer the community a chance to come flying with us,” Soye added. For purchase of a Vintage Wings membership and a one time fee, locals could take off from Picton just like so many young men did during the 1940s. Prince Edward Flying Club president Dave Main said the day was special in that the club was able to welcome the Yellow Wings for the first time since their cross Canada tour back in 2011. “Anytime you connect these planes back to the place where they were part of training so many pilots is nice,” he added. With the 75th anniversary of the BCATP taking place in 2016, Main is hopeful that Vintage Wings can fit time in their schedule to make a stop next summer. The Vintage Wings collection includes over 15 different aircraft including an F86 Sabre. “Many people don't realize that this airport well utilized and well maintained by Loch Sloy Holdings and the club. It's in great shape and it would be tremendous to have Vintage Wings back for a visit,” Main said.

Glenwood plans Appreciation Day

Those who were saddened by the needless and shocking shooting death of swan goose Kate this spring will have their chance to remember her this Sunday. At 2 p.m. officials at her home, Glenwood Cemetery, will host a special ceremony to unveil a monument in memory of Kate near the pond where she lived with her mate William. “Campbell Monuments has produced a beautiful monument,” said Glenwood chair Sandra Latchford of the memorial that will be unveiled to celebrate the memory of the swan goose. The ceremony is part of a new initiative at Glenwood called Appreciation Day, where the cemetery board and staffers look to give back to the community that supports the historic burial grounds at the south end of Picton off Ferguson Street. Activities for the whole family will start at 1:15 p.m. Phil Norton will take youth on a nature photography outing within the cemetery’s gates. On the 45-minute tour, he’ll teach them how to use basic DSLR, cellphone, and pocket cameras as they explore the rich floral, forest, and wetland habitats at the cemetery and along Marsh

Finished basements save energy and deliver more living space By finishing your basement, you can gain more living space while reducing the amount of energy loss from downstairs. Basements that are not fully finished typically do not have insulated walls or covered flooring. This can result in heat loss and cause your furnace to work overtime. A remodeled basement offers more than additional storage space. It can provide a lot of extra room for a growing family, such as space for a gym, home theatre, office, guest suite, or a playroom for the kids. To ensure a comfortable and inviting basement, there are a few project components to consider: • Insulation will make sure your space warm and comfortable. For the best results, install a stone wool insulation product, a measure that can be done easily with the ROXUL Comfort-

Board IS. This product is mechanically fastened or adhered to the concrete foundation wall, offering you a higher R-value and better acoustics. • Drywall will help define the space and make it feel like a part of your home. If you haven’t tackled drywall before, consider hiring a pro to ensure your walls are seamless. • Flooring should be water sealed and covered

with an insulated material. There are many products on the market, but consider laying padding before carpet or in-floor heating before tiles. • Personalize it with finishing touches. Select furniture that can fit down a typically steep staircase and choose items that complement the rest of your home’s décor. - MCC
