Overwhelming. That was the only way Prince Edward Auto Club president Fred Morton could describe the excitement and enthusiasm shown for the club's 40th annual street meet which took place Friday through Sunday in Ameliasburgh. “I'm overwhelmed with the way people and volunteers are coming in, people are donating door prizes to no end,” said Morton. “The community is behind us 100 per cent. If it wasn't for the community being behind us we wouldn't have been here for 40 years. That's really important.” Close to 200 cars and more than 400 people packed onto the property for this year's show and Morton struggled to find the words to say what that enthusiasm meant to he and everyone who works diligently each year to put on one of Ontario's longest-running shows. “We're overwhelmed. It's insane,” said Morton on Friday afternoon. “It's our 40th anniversary and we actually had 50 100year-old cars come through here this morning.” Officially dubbed the South Eastern Ontario Street Meet, the show debuted in 1975 at the Hayloft on Salmon Point Road following the forma-

tion of the Prince Edward Auto Club in 1972. “We are very overwhelmed with what's going on. We have cars here that people have dug out of the woodwork – cars that have been sitting back in barns or under tarps for

15, 16, some 20 years,” Morton said. “Because it's our 40th anniversary they've pulled them out, got them going, and they're here.” Morton attributes the show's longevity to the work of those who put it

on each year and who volunteer their time to make sure things run smoothly. “It's not just a job, we make it fun,” he said. “It's a lot of work.” With it being the show's 40th anniversary, Morton said the club had some

special events planned. While the club always tries to bring additional entertainment in for the weekend, he said this year all the special events had a “wow factor.” “The stuff that we do, we want people to say, 'Wow,'” he said. “It's our anniversary, it has to be special.” A special fireworks display, a street dance, and plenty of events for kids were just some of the extras the club added for the anniversary year. “Mystical Distributing donated eight cartons of fireworks,” said Morton. “Everybody has just been, 'oh it's your 40th anniversary, we'll do this, we'll do that.'” One thing Morton said most people don't know about the show is that it's not-for-profit and proceeds go right back into the community for a number of causes. Morton said a lot of what the car club does isn't highly publicized, so many people don't know about the club's philanthropic efforts. “We are a huge promoter of the food bank, the fire department,” he said. “... We know people who are too proud to ask for help and we zero in on those families and make sure they don't need help.”

Dozens flocked to Ostrander Point to catalogue the south shore's animal and plant life over the weekend. The Prince Edward County Field Naturalists (PECFN) hosted their 24hour BioBlitz at the site on Saturday and Sunday. PECFN president Myrna Wood said while the county's south shore is a globally recognized Important Bird Area, much of the area's biodiversity hasn't been identified. She said during PECFN's battle to prevent a proposed nine-turbine development for Ostrander Point, that fact became apparent. “We want to start getting a base of information on all the habitats across

the south shore,” said Wood. “During our appeal of the Gilead wind project at Ostrander Point, it became clear in the evidence that was given at the tribunal that very little information had ever been collected on all the different habitats on the south shore.” The BioBlitz has participants gather information on flora and fauna identified during treks along Ostrander Point. “This is a first step,” said Wood. Wood said the event also helped gather information to be submitted to the municipality for the County's ongoing official plan review. “We are hoping to get the south shore declared a

core area of conservation in the new official plan,” she said. “This is an ongoing process which will go into next year, but we're working on that. So this is a step of beginning to get the kind of information on the environment of the south shore that we need.” Among the weekend's attractions were talks from wildlife professional Dr. Paul Catling, who gave a tour devoted to butterflies, Nature Canada's Ted Cheskey who spoke on insectivore birds, and Ontario Reptile and Amphibian Atlas co-ordinator Tanya Pulfer, who helped participants spot and identify various turtles and frogs.

The Rotary Club of Wellington's Prince Edward County Wine Celebration kicked off at the Wellington and District Community Centre Saturday evening with the goal of aiding in the revitalization of the Millennium Trail. Early into the evening guests filed in the building, eager to sample some Prince Edward County wines and cheeses, as well as hors d'oeuvres and a four-course meal catered by award-winning chef Michael Hoy. Among those enjoying the evening was local bed and breakfast owner Suzanne Lafrance. Lafrance said she had sampled gravlax — a nordic dish of raw salmon cured in salt, sugar, and dill — which paired well with a riesling. Lafrance said she has a small vineyard on her property and loves wine, but said the celebration is also for a good cause. “It's a good cause for the Millennium Trail,� she said. “I have a B&B and tourism is important. They come here and they can use the trail for bicycling, the trail also con-

nects some wineries like Karlo Estates, and the golf course. It's a great walking trail too.â€? She said the trail provides a safer way for cyclists to travel. “No matter how careful you are, a car is a lot bigger than you,â€? she said. All in all, she said it was a great event and was eager to taste some more wines. “I had Three Dog Winery riesling and Karlo Estates riesling and now I'm going to try a rosĂŠ,â€? she said. “I'm happy to be here and any time Michael Hoy is hosting a dinner and being the chef I OPEN 11AM-5PM SEVEN DAYS A WEEK 613-373-1133

I cook a lot at home and to be fed and served – give me Michael Hoy any time.� Wellington Rotary president Brian McGowan said the club worked with the Prince Edward County Winegrowers Association to put together the evening. About 10 wineries took part in the event as well as some county cheese companies. The event also featured a door prize, silent auction, and live entertainment from county band Little Bluff. “We have an auction for things like a kayak and a week in France at a chateau, 9261 LOYALIST PARKWAY, ADOLPHUSTOWN, ONTARIO

so we're quite excited about that,� said McGowan Saturday evening. The rotary club adopted a seven-kilometre section of the Millennium Trail to upgrade within the village of Wellington and McGowan said all the proceeds from Saturday would go toward that upgrade. He said the section is nearing completion. “We're actually fairly close. We're waiting on doing a couple of information kiosks that we'd like to get built so we're going to use some money toward that as well,� he said. McGowan said the club chose a wine fundraiser because wine has become an important part of Prince Edward County. “It's such an integral part of what the county is and is becoming and is going,� he said. “(Wine) is something that certainly seems to draw a lot of tourists to the area.� He said he felt the event would complement other events taking place on Saturday and help reveal the county wine region to fresh eyes in addition to local wine enthusiasts. “We're trying to get both local people, but also act as a draw for a lot of people from Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa that are just discovering the wine region,� said McGowan. “We thought this would be a good activity for them.� McGowan said expectations were uncertain, but said if the event is a success the club would consider making it an annual event. “We just weren't sure what the uptake would be,� he said. “We do ribs in the park and that's a $10 ticket, we have a barn dance and that's a $20 ticket — this is a $100 ticket.� He said although there's great value, he said $100 is expensive. “Once we're finished we're going to do a complete debrief on the evening, see what comes out of it in terms of the return, and then make a decision on whether we try to do this at least another year or potentially even annually,� he said. McGowan said he was pleased with the attendance on Saturday and was excited to see what the results of the evening would be.

Central Region Gliding School continues to train potential pilots in county skies

Seth Duchene

The NapaNee Beaver

‘The sky is the limit’ is a phrase often used to describe teens’ opportunities and ambitions. For some teenagers, however — namely the ones taking part in the Air Cadet Gliding Program — the phrase is particularly accurate. Every summer, 90-100 members of the Royal Canadian Air Cadets from across the province get the opportunity to learn how to fly, without an engine, at the Central Region Gliding School, which operates at CFD Mountain View and the historic Picton Airport. The cadets, who must be between the ages of 16 and 18, spend six weeks learning how to pilot a Schweizer 233 glider At the end of the program, successful cadets will earn their gilder pilot’s licence. Last Thursday, the program gave some visitors a chance to fly, including Picton Gazette and Napanee Beaver publisher Jean Morrison. The air cadets are no strangers to the Picton airfield. According to the cadets’ public affairs officer Lt. Andrew Smith, they’ve been using the facility to train for “50-plus� years. “We’re here from the middle of June to the middle of August every year,� he said, adding that the air cadets

thrilling riDe Picton Gazette and Napanee Beaver publisher Jean Morrison is helped from a Schweizer 2-33 glider by instructor Eric Faucher after having an opportunity to fly Thursday. (Seth DuChene/The Napanee Beaver)

also use one of the former barracks at the airfield as a classroom year-round. Although all air cadets have an opportunity to apply to participate in the summer glider training program, only a handful of the 26,000 air cadets in the country — who train with their individual squadrons during the school year — actually take part. After a two-week ‘general training’ program in Trenton, the cadets head off to try out various other activities and disciplines. “Kind of like high school, they have

streams that you go into. The air cadet program is very similarly designed. Not every air cadet loves to fly, and not every air cadet becomes a pilot, but they all find something to do,� said Smith. Regardless of the program they choose to pursue, the training is free. “The air cadet program is a federally-funded program, it’s funded through the Department of National Defence, and our flying side is also partnered with the Air Cadet League of Canada,� said Lt. Smith. “Between the

two of them, they fund our flying program between our aircraft and fuel and everything else.� In terms of the glider program, Smith said that many of the cadets use it as a launching pad to other things, including a program that trains the cadets in flying powered aircraft. That program allows the participants to earn their power pilot’s licence. Smith — who has both his power licence and his glider licence — says the glider training does come in handy for those looking to graduate to a propeller, particularly when it comes to landing. “We often joke and say, ‘You only get one chance at landing in a glider,’� he said. “You don’t get the goaround that a tow plane or a powered aircraft (gets). If you don’t like the approach or you don’t like the runway or something, you put the full power back on and you go back around. In the glider, you make the right choice the first time. As both a glider pilot and a power pilot myself, I’ve found that when I went to the power side, (glider training) made my landings a lot better.� The progression doesn’t take long. One of the program’s instructors, Cameron Wales, was a cadet only two years earlier. Now, he’s not only teaching new cadets, but taking visitors

up for flights. “It’s nice because the cadet program teaches more than just the flying, it about responsibility and general knowledge as well,� Wales says, who adds that he hopes to keep teaching cadets how to fly moving forward. “I’m very interested in the instructional aspect, passing along the knowledge.� Cadets also learn how to put safety first. If they’re not learning to fly a glider,

they’re acting as ground crew, helping the airplanes and gliders land and take off safely. “That’s one of the things we’re pretty big on, especially in the flying program. It is a flying activity. There are risks; however, we manage those risks very well. One of those things is definitely training, and taking every precaution to be safe,� said Smith.

Howe Island photographer earns CLIC’s people’s choice award for her marine scene Thorpe captures special moment amid fog on northeastern seaboard Jason Parks Staff writer

After two weeks and hundreds of visitors, the people's choice has been ren-

dered. CLIC (Capturing Life In Camera) committee cochairs Sam Serrano and Margeret Liddon presented Howe Island-based photograper Andree Thorpe with the 2014 Sutton Group-Prince Edward County Reality People's Choice award as the final act of the fifth annual Eastern Ontario Photo Show. Thorpe's “Out of the Fog” was judged by CLIC jurors to be the second best entry in the Adult Visible World category but her photo a man piloting a rowboat out of a thick vapour in a harbour near Camden, Maine struck a chord with show goers and her submission was the crowd's favourite in 2014. Thorpe said she was very flattered when she heard her submission was the people's favourite. “I was pretty excited...I would say I was pretty pumped,” Thorpe told the Gazette Monday, a day after the show had closed. “This show really exceeded my expectations, it was very well done and organized

South Bay Foodgrains Project raises over $4,000

Staff writer

Friday was harvest day for the South Bay Foodgrains Project and it turned out to be the best day, too. Co-chairman George Emlaw explained that when the Brummell family took the 11 acres of winter wheat off the fields to the elevator, they were paid the highest market price of the season for the grain. “We were there the right tday, that’s for sure,� Emlaw said. “They were paying $199, which was the highest market price.� Emlaw said the project yielded an above-average 71 bushels per acre for a total of 781 bushels, worth about $4,230 given the market price that day. The proceeds from that wheat go to support food aid to people in third world countries. Instead of shipping Canadian grain to foreign countries, the Canada Foodgrains Bank now works with trusted agencies overseas to ensure food is bought from ethical sources and distributed directly to those in need. While Emlaw said that he, co-chair Doug Murphy

project is one of more than 200 across the country that is producing crops this year to help with the cause. This year, the soft-red wheat was grown on the Williams Farm at South Bay and once again, it was harvested by the Brummell family. The project was supported by Pioneer Seed and Gary Parks, the County Farm Centre, Anderson Elevators, Steve and Kevin Parks of Parksdale Farms, and by the cash donations of many congregants and members of the community. A year ago, Emlaw and Murphy figured that with their soybean yield that year, the local project had directly raised more than $60,000 in its history before matching.

PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY

Looking back in the

Picton Gazette 90 years ago — 1924

n Some 50 citizens backed a loan obtained by W.C. Hunt of Toronto to open a brass factory in Picton. Hunt was expected to begin the process of shipping his equipment here and making final alterations to the building he bought before hiring his staff. n Picton council voted to have the latest in technology to spread the word about fires within the community. At a special meeting, councillors voted in favour of removing the fire bell from its tower and replacing it with a new electric siren. Councillors also granted the Odd Fellows permission to erect fire escapes on their building in case of emergency. n Unless it was to encounter serious losses by October, the Ontario government’s farm loan plan looked to sustain itself within its first year of operations. Before operating changes, the government loaned around $4 million a year, which was deemed too small to prove profitable. The new program offered lending of over $6.5 million.

70 years ago — 1944

n Sgt. Arthur Reed, of Waupoos, earned the Military Medal for his acts of bravery on the beaches at Normandy during the D-day invasion. A member of the Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa, Reed and three others set a number of halftracks on fire and captured 25 German men during the invasion. n Amid much anticipation, the HMCS Hallowell was commissioned at the Vickers’ shipyards in Montreal. A large delegation from the county was present at the ceremonies, including Warden Earl Onderdonk and Picton mayor Newbitt McKibbon. Many of the comfort items requested for the ship had been purchased by county residents and the Town of Picton would present two washing machines for the ship at the christening. n Just two years shy of 100, the Christ Church in Hillier was destroyed by fire after being hit by lightning. All the interior furniture was saved, except the pipe organ.

60 years ago — 1954

n Fishermen were asked to reveal to the New York State Conservation Department and the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests the location of tagged fish they caught in eastern Lake Ontario. The project would help the government agencies learn about the survival of planted fish and their movements, which could lead to better fishery management. n Major Everett S. Fairman was named the new commanding officer of the Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment, succeeding Col. R.H. Widdifield after two years of the latter’s command.

20 years ago — 1994

n Sophiasburgh reeve Gary Fox indicated he would seek the Progressive Conservative provincial nomination for the riding of Prince Edward-Lennox-South Hastings. Fox had served the public for over 30 years, serving on economic and agricultural boards, as a firefighter, and on local roads, recreation, and planning committees within the county. n The Glenora ferry service would remain free until at least Dec. 12, the date the province would go to court to try to have a May ruling that declared ferry fees illegal overturned in order to charge users.

Odd birds with odd names in the area

The dowitcher is an odd name for any bird. But, then, the dowitcher is a rather odd bird. Its name is believed to be of Iroquoian origin. Repeatedly jabbing its long bill up and down along the shoreline, it more closely resembles a sewing machine than it does a species of shorebird. Their search is for aquatic invertebrates. I found six one day in May a few years ago, feeding in the debris on the rubber tire breakwater in the Moira River near the Travelodge Hotel. Now heading south for the winter, dowitchers have been showing up again in suitable habitat for the past month. Unlike many shorebirds who trot up and down the beach, darting in and out of the incoming waves, never quite sure which way to go, or where exactly to feed, dowitchers seldom do more than just shuffle their legs. The individuals I saw on the breakwater simply turned their bodies rhythmically, jabbing first left, then right. The dowitcher is not an uncommon bird in this area by any means. I have often encountered them at Sandbanks, and at other suitable areas around the county. But it is a tick on the day’s check list that can be displayed with some pride. And sometimes they show up in places one would not expect to see them. One spring, I was walking around the bird banding sta-

tion at Prince Edward Point when one flew in and joined a killdeer on the lawn. They remained together for about 30 minutes, then flew off, side by side, as though mated for life! Now is the time to look for dowitchers and some 30 other species of shorebirds that migrate through this area every spring and fall. Almost any mudflat, sewage lagoon or shoreline will produce something in the family, but if it’s concentrations you’re after then Presqu’ile Park has the edge on most local sites. Presqu’ile has 41 species of shorebirds on its list, compared to Prince Edward County’s 35 — not that far ahead of us, but on a good day you can see close to 20 of those in one day at Presqu’ile which is a remarkable feat. Some of the more unusual

species on the Presqu’ile list include American Oystercatcher, Mongolian plover, snowy plover, and curlew sandpiper. Amherst Island is another good area to go. In more recent years, other little nooks and crannies have been discovered by fall birders. The creek on Jackson’s Falls Road east of Milford often harbours a few shorebirds as they feed along the exposed limestone shelves in the riverbed. In the Napanee area, the Gray’s Wetland on Wilton Creek, just south of Morven, has proven to be a prolific spot to find shorebirds. Another birder located a small, flooded depression just off Aitken’s Road in the east end of Belleville this year. His sightings have been posted on eBird, an online real time checklist program that has revolutionized how bird sightings are archived and displayed. Shorebirds are noted for their amazing migratory flights from their breeding grounds in the Arctic to the wintering grounds as far south as Tierra del Fuego at the southern tip of South America. Studies have shown that the adults of most species begin their migration before the young, sometime this month. The young, however, move from the tundra to the Arctic coastal regions first, presumably to gain the necessary fat reserves which the adults have already accumulated. It is not known yet how many juveniles

The Regent Theatre is planning a membership drive leading up to its new season Oct. 1 and those who sign up early could reap the benefits. The theatre is holding an early bird draw for those who sign up for membership or renew by Sept. 15. Each of those people will be entered into a draw to win either a $100 gift certificate from Portabella Bistro, six tickets for the HD satellite presentation of the bearer’s choice, or four movie passes plus four Cinefest Tickets and eight large popcorn vouchers.

The Regent offers five different levels of membership for its supporters. The first, most basic, level is the “supporter” level. For $50 a member receives a tax receipt for $40, a member card and voting rights at the annual meeting, online newsletters, return ticket privileges, two discounted tickets when applicable, and one Cinefest ticket. The next level, the “player” level for $125,entitles the member to a tax receipt for $105, one or two member cards, voting rights at the annual meeting, online newsletters, four dis-

counted tickets when applicable, and two Cinefest tickets. The third level “headliner” costs $250 and offers a $220 tax receipt. It offers all the benefits of the “player” level plus an additional two movie passes. The “star” package is worth $500 and offers a tax receipt of $450. It offers all the benefits described in the other packages with a total of four Cinefest tickets and four movie passes. Finally, the “standing ovation” level is at $1,000, with a tax receipt for $900. Members in that category can receive six discounted tickets when appli-

are turning up this year. It had been a poor breeding year for these Arctic breeders one year, with ice and snow and water remaining well into the nesting season, spelling disaster for this popular family of birds. This translated into fewer juveniles being seen in the Bay of Quinte region during the southward passage. While some embark on a remarkable flight over water to the coast of South America, a non-stop journey of about 4,100 km, others take a more leisurely jaunt through the interior, crossing the Great Lakes where they find suitable staging areas. The southwestern shores of Prince Edward County and Presqu’ile Park have provided an abundance of suitable staging areas for many years. Sandbanks offers a wide variety of shorebird habitat, from sand to shingle beaches, to wavewashed rock; the beaches of West Lake and the shallow pools and mudflats of the pannes add further to the diversity. As water levels change, exposing mudflats, new areas keep turning up annually. Keep your eyes open for them, and the numerous long distance waders that are attracted to them.

Parking at premium, but are proposals an improvement?

THIS afternoon, councillors are going to consider reports put before them to help deal with the parking crunch within the Town of Picton. While one need only drive down Main Street in the busy summer months to see the crunch created by the fact Picton only has 750 public parking spaces, it is hard to say whether people in the town would be too pleased with some of the suggestions that council is considering to alleviate the congestion. One suggestion would have the County remove the tennis courts in front of Benson Hall and replace them with some 25 parking spaces as early as next year, with the costs of that surface makeover to be absorbed by the 2015 budget. While those tennis courts appear worn and a bit of an eyesore, it cannot be lost that a number of community groups now use Benson Park for functions and that space is among precious few areas in the downtown that are dedicated solely to recreation purposes. There might be merit in studying whether that space would be adequately restored as tennis courts, turned into an outdoor basketball court, or left as a multi-purpose area that would give youth some place to stage their impromptu sporting events instead of the dangerous option of having them staged in the streets. Certainly, there are options. Other recent suggestions of developing the park around Benson Hall to provide a grander area for concerts, a public washroom, or even a community garden also seem like ideas that should be explored before moving on with this plan. Municipal land on York Street would also be considered as part of any parking expansion and one would have to weigh the benefit of those areas with their value as greenspaces. Today’s agenda also includes suggestions that council look at extending the pay-to-park areas in the downtown to include the Market Square area to the north of Main Street and to meter a number of spaces that aren’t metered now outside of the downtown core shopping area where tourists usually congregate. Councillors are also being asked to endorse the investigation of pay parking on the weekends with greater enforcement efforts and the possibility of a further increase in parking meter rates above and beyond an increase that took place in 2012. The reports council will consider indicated a desire to take those steps while working to create more free parking also. One would have to weigh the location and convenience of the new free parking spaces to see if this is, ultimately, an acceptable model. While we applaud the County for looking into ways to boost its coffers with money flowing in from tourists, one has to wonder if the inconvenience will be worthwhile to those who live in this area. Will more public spaces be a benefit, or will people be turned off by the higher rates and greater enforcement and look to do more of their shopping, dining, and entertaining out of town? If many people respond that way, more will be lost than gained by any action taken. By any standards, the parking issue is a large one requiring great investment. It should not be taken lightly... and given this late stage in council’s term, perhaps it is an issue that is best left to be solved on the election trail where a clear mandate can be given.

Book giveaways mark sponsorship of Purdy A-frame

McClelland and Stewart/Random House Canada, longtime publisher of Al Purdy’s works, recently became a major sponsor of the Al Purdy Aframe writers-in-residence program. “Mentoring emerging writers was a second vocation for Al,” said Jean Baird, president of the Al Purdy A-frame Association. “The door to the Aframe was always open,” said Jean Baird of Purdy’s home. “I’m pleased that McClelland and Stewart have joined the lengthy list of donors to the Association. The sponsorship keeps that door open.” The Library’s chief executive officer Barbara Sweet, Books & Company coowner David Sweet, and Lindi Pierce, who has been exceptionally active with the writer-in-residence program, are local representatives on the A-frame Association’s Board of Directors. In support of the Aframe and M&S, the library is giving away five book collections of brand new titles donated by McClelland and Stewart while recognizing the Canadian publisher with book displays in each branch of the library. Included in the donated books to be won are the writings and poetry of a number of award winning and well-known authors including Margaret Atwood, Leonard Cohen, Michael Ondaatje, Lynn Crosbie, Anne Carson, Roo Borson and, of course, Al Purdy, to name a few. In order to be eligible to win, simply visit any branch of the County of Prince Edward Public Library by Saturday, Aug. 30 and check out a McClelland and Stewart imprint to enter a ballot in the contest. Winners will be drawn from all ballots cast by the end of August. Winners will be announced announced on Sept. 5, 2014. There are hundreds of authors published by M&S for library patrons to choose from, including the well known names listed above, but also Russell Banks, Michael Crummey, Timothy Findley, Heather O’Neill and Carol Shields and many others. Each branch will have a display of McClelland and Stewart/Random House titles to choose from, and there will undoubtedly be many more to be found

from within the fiction shelves in each branch. The connection with the iconic Al Purdy, the Aframe project, the writer-inresidence program and the County of Prince Edward Public Library & Archives is a natural one. Aside from the obvious connection to books, Al Purdy was a regular visitor to the Ameliasburgh branch and a great scavenger of used book sales held there. The branch was named the Ameliasburgh Library – The Al Purdy Branch, in his memory, and a collection of Purdy memorabilia is on display in the branch along with a bust of the poet by sculptor James Walke. Further support of the Al Purdy writer-in-residence program is happening at the Active Arts Studio on Aug. 30 at 3 p.m. at 116 Barely Road in Rednersville. The fundraising event will feature Richard Turtle performing David Carley’s play, “Al at the Quinte Hotel”. Katherine Leyton, first writer-in-residence at the A-frame, will be showing the video of her summer’s work, “How Pedestrian”, and the Gerry Shatford Trio will be performing an original jazz suite “When I sat down to play the piano” based on Purdy’s poetry. The Picnic PEC gourmet food truck will be on hand for the day and there will be complimentary servings of the Barley Days new “Sensitive Man” beer, so named in honour of Al Purdy. Space is limited and tickets are $50 in advance. For more information on the Active Arts Studio event and to obtain tickets, visit www.activeartsstudio.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Music at Port Milford needs foreign instructors

On Aug. 7 a rival publication contained story “Port Milford Summer Music Camp wrapping up 28th year”. Author Jack Evans pointed out the economic and tourism benefits and the musical reputation this internationally known program has brought to Prince Edward County. Its balance of high-level Canadian and American artists has brought students (and their families) from Canada, the U.S. and Europe for 28 years. Its concerts have delighted audiences from the county and away. Evans concluded “All hope it will continue for

many years into the future” Yet a glitch in the operation of Canada’s Border Services Agency now threatens the future of Music at Port Milford. Rohan Gregory is an award-winning violinist from Boston who has taught and performed with Music at Port Milford for the past 25 years. On Sunday August 3 he drove here to begin his week of teaching and performing. His permits had already been applied for and paid for (over $400.) Yet Canada’s border staff refused to allow him into Canada. The apparent reason: confusion over the

tightening of the Temporary Foreign workers policy. Music at Port Milford director Meg Hill was left with less than 24 hours to attempt to replace a key member of her faculty. One might say: “ Serves her right. She should have only Canadians on staff.” The truth is most of the faculty artists are Canadian (and many of them regularly cross international borders to teach and perform.) To attract international students you need some teachers from other countries. Frantic efforts produced a last minute replacement. But Hill said “How can

Music at Port Milford continue if key staff are at the last minute refused entry to Canada, despite our completing all the paperwork and paying all the fees?” So an institution of huge benefit to the county (and serious Canadian music students) is now threatened. Please ask our MP Daryl Kramp to look into this. The more requests he gets on this subject, the more likely that the glitch in Canadian Border Services will be cleared up, and Music at Port Milford can continue. Brian Conway Athol

Remain vigilant over use of neonicotinoid insecticides

In June 2012 the Canadian Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) announced its decision to reevaluate three bee-killing neonicotinoid insecticides – all banned in Europe – to assess the risk to pollinators. However, we now find out that in just the past two weeks, this Canadian government agency charged with protecting our public health and safety,has actually

granted registration to two new insecticides that contain clothianidin, one of the neonicotinoids that the agency is supposedly re-evaluating. (Sierra Club Canada Foundation Media Release August 8, 2014). It is difficult to retain any faith or trust in any statements issuing from this agency or the government that directs it. They obviously have no

intention of banning these deadly products by 2015 or any other year, but are only committed to stalling and deceiving the public. Our Prince Edward County council has already written urging the PMRA to enact a moratorium on the use of these products.until further re-evaluation. We must continue to hold the federal and provincial governments accountable, by

writing, e-mailing, and calling our MPs and MPPs and supporting an immediate moratorium. Because when the bees and other pollinators are gone, it will be too late -- we will all be facing a future with a drastically reduced food supply. Robin Lunn Bee-Active Picton

Cyclists make way along waterfront County among Ontario communities CAA targets for drive-cycle vacations AdAm BrAmBurger Staff writer

It was a soggy start to Tuesday morning as 150 cyclists scrambled to get out of wet tents at the Prince Edward Community Centre and get on the road. The visitors were part of a special five-day tour from Brighton to Cornwall staged by the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) and Ontario’s Great Waterfront Trail to show the value of drive and cycle tourism along the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River Waterfront. Anna Halkidis, the CAA’s South Central Ontario operations manager said the tour was comprised of municipal officials and their families, CAA representatives, and avid cyclists between the ages of 8 and 74 from across Canada and the United States. “It’s a ride building education and awareness around the Waterfront Trail route in order to get people to come and ride,” she said. The Waterfront Trail features some 70 communities, including Prince Edward County, spanning some 1,400 kilometres. Halkidis said the CAA has learned that cycling has become quite a popular vacation activity for families in this province as statistics show 1 in 4 families do cycle and spend time on trips ranging anywhere from one day to seven days or longer. Quebec also has a strong cycling culture, and Halkidis said there is potential for Ontario communities to attract tourism from their neighbours to the east. Given that interest, the CAA has introduced some 30 drive/ride vacations around the world to sell to its membership and there happens to be eight of those route on the Waterfront Trail, including the pathway that took cyclists from Picton across the Glenora Ferry to Kingston. “If it wasn’t raining and we weren’t facing the high

support on the roAd The CAA loaded sever-

winds, it would have been beautiful today,” she said. Halkidis noted that research has also shown that cycling tourists tend to spend more time in communities than those families who are just passing through while driving and, thus, she said they are also hoping to promote economic development in towns along the route. Even on Tuesday’s wet trek, for example, tour members were encouraged to stop at farmers’ markets in the Bath and Kingston areas to get some fresh fruit to enjoy. Halkidis said her organization is also looking to promote bicycle safety and the fact that it does offer roadside support for cyclists if they are members. She said the roads through Prince Edward County and the motorists that use them would get a passing grade as far as awareness and courtesy. “This route, in particular, has a lot of paved bicycle lanes, so it was fine to ride,” she said. “The sharing-theroad piece is something we also advocate for, and with local drivers, it appeared that worked quite well.” CAA actually had its work cut out for it with Tuesday’s weather conditions as it ended up providing service to transport between 40-50 bicycles somewhere along the route that ended at the Queen’s

University residences as not all cyclists were up for the day’s challenges. CAA actually has a Bike Assist app that cyclists can download, allowing them help to plan their routes, stay connected with other cyclists, and book roadside assistance appointments to repair or adjust bicycles as needed. Marlaine Koehler, the executive director of the Waterfront Regeneration Trust, a charity that co-ordinates development of the Waterfront Trail, was also among those riding Tuesday. She said in a release her organization was pleased that the CAA chose to promote the trail in this manner. “We are so pleased that almost half of the drive-ride vacations chosen by CAA are on Ontario’s Waterfront Trail,” she said. “This speaks volumes to the quality experience that we offer in our own backyard and the growing opportunity for local communities to tap into the international cycle tourism market.” Prince Edward County, itself, was welcoming to the initiative as Mayor Peter Mertens took the opportunity to speak to representatives from the CAA and Waterfront Regeneration Trust during their visit. The county also opened its facilities at the fairgrounds to the visiting cyclists for breakfast Tuesday.

Early reports suggest the municipality's new early resolution court is meeting its cost-saving expectations. The early resolution court (ERC) was initiated on April 4 of this year and so far seems to be succeeding as a cost-saving measure. An information report circulated to councillors last week indicates the court has saved approximately $7,400 from April–June this year over the same time period last year. Councillor and police services board chair Robert Quaiff said the early dividends are encouraging. “It's very satisfying. It just shows that if this trend continues we're going to have some real cost savings to pass along to the taxpayers,” he said. The court deals with provincial offences and allows those charged to meet with prosecutors in court on a set date to seek a resolution without requiring the presence of an officer. Provincial Offences Court (POC) was identified last year as an area to trim policing costs as officers are paid overtime when they are required to appear before the court on their days off. Offences such as parking infractions and speeding are generally among those considered by the ERC. From April to September 2013 Prince Edward OPP spent about 349.5 overtime hours in POC, approximately $14,329 in overtime costs. The report says from April 4 to July 4 this year 81 matters were taken to the ERC. Out of those 81, 48 — or 59.3 per cent — were resolved while 40.7 per cent were given trial dates at the request of the defendant. The report indicates in takes about 8–10 minutes to discuss an early resolution matter, compared to trials which can take half an our or longer depending on the case. The report says the ERC has decreased the amount of court time needed to deal with cases and has allowed the time to be spent to reduce the backlog of cases. The report says for April, May, and June 2013 there were seven court dates with 217 matters heard and for the

ROBERT QUAIFF

same months this year there were six court dates and 214 matters heard. In 2013 247.5 hours of overtime wee claimed by the OPP while 69 hours of overtime were claimed in 2014. With the average hourly wage for a constable at $41.35 per hour (depending on classification) the cost for 2013 was estimated at about $10,200 while it cost an estimated $2,800 in 2014 — a savings of $7,400. He said so far the court has worked well in the municipality's favour and helps keep officers out of court and out on patrol. “If an officer is on their day off and they have to attend court then we have to call them in on overtime and pay them to be present in the courtroom,” said Quaiff. “If they choose to go to early resolution the officer doesn't have to be there.” With policing costs under increasing scrutiny, Quaiff said it's a good feeling to see the costs coming down. “We do pay a lot for policing in Prince Edward County,” he said. “Anything we can do to have cost-saving measures that are successful, and have proof that they work, is a great thing,” he said. Quaiff said he believes as word gets out that the ERC is an option, he believes the costs will continue to trend downward. “That's your last opportunity to plea bargain sort of thing, because once you go to court the charge stays as it is,” he said. “At early resolution you get an opportunity to plead your case and (possibly) get a reduction.” The Prince Edward OPP detachment averages 3,500 to 4,100 provincial offences charges per year with the summer months being the busiest.

Turning wine into vinegar — not water into wine

Back in June I stopped by Black Prince Winery to toast the opening of the new Barrel House and local Oak Barrel Works. While I were there Pete Bradford and Geoff Webb let me know that the barn was also being prepped for a unique new venture to be opening soon ...well,soon is now. I usually go out weekends to sip wine in the county and did so on Saturday but stopped in at Black Prince for a different sip on Sunday. When I got there I asked Webb how he could be thinking of improving the wine experience in the county and with a sidelong glance and a twinkle in his eye he responded with: "by turning some of our wine into vinegar"! Canadian Vinegar Cellars now offers local barrel-aged wine vinegars crafted right here in the county by Pete and Marla Bradford along with Webb. The Bradfords have already established a cult following for this exciting wine byproduct — quietly making wine vinegars for the last five years on a small scale and aging them in the local oak barrels that Pete makes or re-coopers. Marla explained that it was time to expand. She explained that they have worked with Geoff and Black Prince Winery on a number of projects over the years and have a great respect for what they are doing with local wine so it was a natural for them to expand their production right there on Loyalist Parkway in Picton. These special vinegars are ideal for marinating and cooking meats and make great salad dressings and dips and are highly sought after by chefs and foodies alike. We tasted some of the vinegars being made from these wines while admiring the oak casks they are resting in. Pete let me in on a secret - the key to making great wine vinegar actually starts with good wine (many

many ways it is the opposite to making wine. “We are embracing ideas and practices that keep most winemakers up all night worrying. Adding oxygen and raising the acidity in the wine as much as possible in a half empty wooden barrel would scare the crap out of any normal winemaker”! Canadian Vinegar Cellars has 10 different wine varieties in production and Pete remembers the first wine vinegar they ever made. “Geoff had 1,000 litres of Marachel Foch wine from the Black Prince Estate vineyard back in 2008. It was good wine but a little high in acidity so they were not going to bottle it that year. I knew it would make the perfect base for our first vinegar so we took the plunge. We sold it all out a year later – over 2,500 bottles !” “The barrel-aging of these wine vinegars makes them truly unique - all local, all Canadian products”, says Marla, “We do not know of any other production like it

people believe that only bad wine is turned into vinegar, but not so – if the wine is bad then the vinegar will be bad). So he start's with a good wine and adds a very crucial secret ingredient to the process – a good “mother”. Pete explains that the vinegar “mother” is like a sour-dough bread starter and must be cultured and lovingly nurtured over time and his "mother" is carefully locked away in a safe room at Black Prince! Once a wine is chosen to be made into vinegar it is inoculated with the “mother” and placed in a suitable oak barrel leaving a lot a head space (not full). The wine/vinegar is then “bubbled” in the barrel – using air forced through the liquid to evaporate the residual alcohol. This process can take weeks or even months depending on the level of alcohol in the wine that must be eliminated before bottling (by law wine vinegars must contain less that 1.2 per cent alcohol per volume to be sold legally). Pete strives for zero per cent! While alcohol is being eliminated the natural volatile acidity (VA) in the wine increases and takes over from the fruit while it turning it to vinegar – all in oak barrels which are at the same time imparting wood flavours and letting the wine vinegar breath and develop over time. Webb explains that in

hours to weeks after eating contaminated food; symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, stomach cramps and in serious cases, can lead to hospitalization; infected people may not exhibit any symptoms but may still be able to pass on the illness to others, so make sure to wash your hands well before and after preparing meals; contact your doctor if you have any signs or symptoms of food poisoning; young children, the elderly, pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems are most at risk of suffering from serious and/or long-term health complications, and even death, from food poisoning. The Government of Canada published a great booklet on safe food handling for adults 60-plus. This is an excerpt from it... Food safety is important to everyone. However, as people age, it becomes harder for the immune system to ward off harmful bacteria. Chronic diseases, such as diabetes and kidney disease, can make fighting off infections even more difficult. While most people affected by foodborne illness can recover completely, serious longer-term health effects, including conditions such as kidney failure and anemia, are more common in older adults. This is why it is extremely important for older adults to take extra precautions when it comes to food.

Hospice, Alzheimer Society join together to share coffee fundraisers in September Jason Parks

Staff writer

A pair of important local community agencies are joining forces next month for a major fundraiser. Hospice Prince Edward and Alzheimer Society Prince Edward County are teaming up to co-present their popular coffee-based fundraisers as a week-long, collaborative event September 18-27. The highly successful ‘World’s Largest Coffee Party’ is a Hospice Prince Edward initiative presented for the past two years and sponsored by County Roasters. Shops, businesses, social clubs, churches and individuals invite neighbours, family, friends, customers and colleagues to coffee parties in their homes or businesses, and encourage donations to support the community residential hospice. Meanwhile, Coffee Break is an annual national fundraiser presented by the Alzheimer Society. In the county this year, Krispy Kreme donuts will be a unique component, with

hundreds of dozens of the honey coated, decadent donuts being sold at various high traffic locations. In addition, local businesses will encourage customers to donate a dollar or two to the Alzheimer Society through the purchase of Coffee Break cut-outs for display at the business location. In the past, Hospice typically ran their coffee parties in the summer while Coffee Break has been a fall event. When Hospice looked to move the timing of their fundraiser to September, they reached out to the local chapter of the Alzheimer Society to see if there was a chance to combine efforts and not encroach on one another's activity. “With both events being so centered on the coffee culture, it occurred to me that it might make sense to work together, share resources and volunteers and to cross promote each other’s events,” said Nancy Parks, executive director of Hospice Prince Edward. “The Alzheimer Society

and Hospice Prince Edward serve the same community and already share volunteer resources. It makes good sense to take advantage of that strength.” Laura Hare, the executive director at the Alzheimer Society agrees. “We are very excited about the opportunities this partnership presents. The Alzheimer Society and Hospice have always been mutually supportive, and this unique collaboration is the first formal, jointly presented illustration of how community organizations can work together to maximize resources and ensure fund development successes.” The inaugural combined coffee party is being organized with the memory of former Prince Edward County Alzheimer Society executive director Linda Jackson in mind. In addition to working with many on the current local Alzheimer's Society Board and the Hospice Prince Edward Board, she utilized Hospice services at the end of her life and Hare

said the collaboration was fitting. “Linda had a foot in both camps so we are pleased to work together with her in mind,” Hare added. Funds raised from the September event will go to augment the operation of both agencies. “We are only partially funded through South East Local Health Integration Network, so in order to keep the office open, the lights and heat on and resources available to fami-

lies with those suffering Alzheimer’s and dementiarelated illness, we need extra funding,” Hare explained. “The SE LHIN provides funding for clinical services at Hospice Prince Edward but all the operational costs that go along with the home and extra supplies that are needed for the families we support comes through fundraising,” said Parks. Hospice Prince Edward is a non-profit, non-denominational charitable organi-

zation that provides physical, psychological, social, spiritual and practical support to people living with life-limiting illness and to their loved ones and caregivers in Prince Edward. The Alzheimer Society is the leading not-for-profit health organization working nationwide to improve the quality of life for Canadians affected by Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, and advance the search for the cause and cure.

Ask A MAstER GARDENER JOYCE YOUNG

instead of relaxing in the hammock there are some tasks that can be tackled: 1. Bearded irises are those whose rhizomes do best when exposed to the sun. They would like to be divided before mid-August. Cut the leaves in a fan shape to prevent the divisions from falling over. Cut off the withered rhizomes and roots. See those nobs on the underside. Those are the new roots. Just place the divisions where you would like new plants leaving the rhizomes again exposed. Do not place mulch on top of the rhizomes as that is likely to cause rot. If they are in an exposed area where snow does not cover the rhizomes with any regularity, sand can be place on top of the rhizomes to a depth of 2½ cm. Some of the newer bearded iris hybrids bloom more than once a summer. 2. This is also a good time to split your hostas and day lilies once they have finished blooming. Dig the clump up making sure to get the majority of the roots. Swish them in a pail of water to straighten and separate the roots. Make lots of new holes but use the old holes as well unless the intent was to move the plants somewhere else. Divide them into groups and plant them at the same depth as before. Water them well now and if there is an extended period without

spoils follow toils After all the time Master Gardener Joyce Young spends on her garden, above, she likes to show it off by inviting neighbours and friends to enjoy it with a barbecue or party to celebrate the summer. (Submitted photo)

rain until they are reestablished. This is also the time to share any excesses of day lilies, hostas or irises with any gardeners who have been admiring your plants. 3. Plan for lawn care at the end of August. A high nitrogen fertilizer is best for lawns when added at the end of the season. If you prefer an organic approach bone meal will also provide nitrogen. You can use compost instead or mixed with bone meal for extra nitrogen. Lime can be helpful for weeds but only if your soil is quite acidic which is relatively unusual in the county. Knowing the pH level of your soil is best known before you add anything that might change it. Lawns do best if they if the soil is slightly acidic, between 7 and 5.8. Grasses obtain the most nutrients

from the soil at this level and is therefore best able to prevent weeds from taking over their space. This time of year is also the best time to add additional lawn seed with spring being the second best time. At least four hours of sun and preferably six is best for most grass seed mixes. Look for mixes containing fescues, Kentucky blue grass and perennial rye grass. Areas with less sun do better with a lawn seed mix for shadier locations. If you don’t mind white clover in your lawn it can compete successfully with many weeds. Evening fogs are perfect for sprouting seeds. 4. If your annuals are leggy and the blooms are sparse trim the stems in half. It is time to remove dead flowers from any and all flowering

plants. This includes flowering shrubs but if you missed your lilacs it is better to leave them until next year as next years blooms are already in progress. 5. And then have a party just to celebrate the summer and your lovely rejuvenated garden. Invite the neighbours and friends for a barbecue. Enjoy the fireflies instead of the mosquitoes. Even Master Gardeners appreciate the fact that their favourite plants do their best without any help from them.

FreedomFest to raise money for Liberia

Despite the fact its borders are closed due to the recent Ebola virus outbreak, fundraising efforts to support the building of an elementary school and job training facility for waraffected youth in Monrovia, Liberia are still taking place. The latest effort is FreedomFest —A Concert for Liberia and will be held at the Hayloft 344 Salmon Point road Friday evening starting at 9 p.m. The licensed event features local and regional artists and bands all performing to support the efforts of a team from the area that were originally scheduled to travel to Liberia this fall for year two of a six-year project. Working with YFC Quinte in partnership with YFC Liberia, the goal of the trip was the continuation of building an elementary school for Liberian children and a trade school for waraffected youth. Due to the large scale Ebola outbreak in Western Africa, Liberia has closed its borders and shuttered all schools, churches, and public gatherings. The Peace Corps aiding the peace of the country has been removed and all nonessential government personnel have been sent home. The local team is unable to travel there in October but will be going as soon as the World Health Organization allows. Among those scheduled to perform Friday are hiphop artist Jswag, international award winning reggae artist Jah Pickney, electroindiepop duo Darklark, DJ Ombudsman, Vintage Soul and local duo Instant Rivalry. Tickets are $10 at the door and all proceeds support the build project. -Staff

QEMA embraces new technology

Summer is always a busy time for the Quinte Educational Museum and Archives and this year sees QEMA continuing to grow and change. In the spring we were awarded a grant from the Stark Foundation. The grant provides QEMA with the funds to incorporate technology in the museum. Look for our new technological applications to emerge in the near future! At the annual general meeting, Shane Higgins and Kornelis DeJong were awarded lifetime memberships for their dedication to QEMA. Budgets, membership and the archives were also discussed in length. If you wish to obtain further information about the AGM please contact us at info@qema.com. We’ve had a number of visitors to the schoolhouse and greatly enjoyed the numerous school visits in June. If you haven’t been to the Victoria Schoolhouse lately you should stop by for a visit! QEMA has added a new project manager and summer student who have made a number of positive changes to the schoolhouse and archives. We’ve also implemented a social media presence.

Existing Compressor Station (additional compression to be added)

TransCanada would like to take this opportunity to update you on the Eastern Mainline Project. The proposed project is needed to meet firm service commitments following the proposed transfer of a portion of the Canadian Mainline capacity to crude oil service from natural gas services as a part of the Energy East Project. The project is also required to meet growing market demand for new supplies of natural gas from the U.S. Northeast. TransCanada is proposing to add new natural gas pipeline facilities to the existing Canadian Mainline system in Ontario. These new facilities would be added in sections between Markham and the Township of South Dundas, on the southern arm of the Eastern Triangle. The preliminary scope of the project included the construction of approximately 370 km of pipeline. TransCanada has now finalized contracts with commercial shippers and determined a refined scope in order to ensure the appropriate amount of capacity is constructed to meet TransCanada’s existing and new firm contractual commitments. The proposed project scope now includes approximately 250 km of 36 inch pipeline with the addition of nine new 11 MW compressor units to be installed at five existing compressor stations. This project is a vital addition to the Canadian Mainline system and will provide homes, businesses, schools and hospitals in Ontario

and Quebec with a safe and reliable source of natural gas. TransCanada has considered a number of routing options as part of the consultation process with interested landowners and stakeholders. An initial proposed route was shared in project materials that were provided at Open Houses held between May and June 2014 and during other outreach activities this year. During the Open Houses and as part of ongoing conversations with landowners and stakeholders, we received important feedback and have refined the route for the pipeline. We are continuing our engagement efforts and welcome any additional feedback as we refine route deviations. We welcome any questions or comments you may have. TransCanada anticipates submitting our application to the National Energy Board in the third quarter of 2014. Engagement will be ongoing throughout the NEB review process and the construction and operation phases of the project.

you can put a little amount of money into it or a huge amount.” Doug Forbes of nearby Plainville was enjoying the beginning of his 28th year attending the street meet on Friday afternoon. “My oldest boy is 26 and he's never missed one and none of my kids have missed one of these shows,” he said. He said he recently purchased his 1968 Plymouth Barracuda and was working on finishing its restoration. “It's not quite finished, we're just about done with it,” he said. “It has a 500 cubic inch big block in it.” He said he used to drag race in the past and will be getting back into it. He said he's loved cars since he was a kid and attended his first street meet at the Hayloft in 1976 when he was 18. “I build engines for a living so I've been around it a lot,” he said. He said the show is always a good time and a chance to meet up with friends.

Dwayne Inch Chair of the Board Mandy Savery-Whiteway Director of Education

“You're around lots of family and friends you've known for years,” said Forbes. “Some of them it's the only time of the year you see them when you're over here at the show –— it's a good weekend.” Car enthusiasts Shawn Cowan and Lisa Van Meer recently launched their book Cruzin' the County: 40 Years and Still Cruzin', A History of the Southeastern Ontario Street Meet. The couple spent two years researching and writing the book. Cowan said a lot of people don't know the club and the show were started at different times, and many don't know how the work of Dennis Howard helped the show get off the ground in its fledgling first year. Cowan said after a deal fell through on a site to locate the first show, Howard went to the owners of the Hayloft and asked permission to hold the event there. The rest is history. “He was the guy who took it upon himself,” said Cowan. “... If it wasn't for Dennis Howard back in the day (the show may not have got off the ground.)” Those interested in learning more about the show's history can contact Cowan and Van Meer at stillcruzin@gmx.com to pick up a copy of the book.

Dukes shaping up as younger team as camp opens Coach looks to veterans as he may have four 16-year-olds in lineup come fall JAson PArks

Staff writer

The sound of a hockey puck being slapped around a cold sheet of ice is one of the harbingers of summer's end in Prince Edward County. It's with much regret we report this sure sign of dwindling summer days is upon us as the Wellington Dukes open their annual late summer training camp this weekend at Essroc Arena. As is the case every year, young prospects getting a taste of their first Junior A camp along with grizzled veterans about to embark on their final season will be mixed together on a handful of teams during this weekend's scrimmages with the cream rising to top for Dukes coach and general manager Marty Abrams to sift through. Coming off a 33-14-0-6 season where they hosted the Dudley Hewitt Cup and came within a goal of winning the Central Canada championship, the Wellington Dukes will have no shortage of leaders in 2014-2015. Veterans like Erick Delaurentis, Joe Mckeown, Abbott Girduckis and Luc Brown will lead the way up front while Andrew Coupland and newcomer Connor Judson will be stalwarts on the back end for Wellington. But the hockey club will be young — possibly the youngest it's been in long time. With three 16-year-old slots locked up and Abrams hinting that there might be a fourth on the way, Wellington might resemble a kiddie corps some nights. “The success of the team is going to depend on our high-end guys and what kind of success they have,” Abrams told the Gazette Monday. “Delaurentis, Mckeown, Girduckis and Brown — those guys have to carry a load because there is not the offensive depth that we've had in years past.” “I expect Coupland to be one of the best defenceman in the league with Jacob Panetta playing an important role and Jacob

Hetherington having a bounce back year. Judson will fill out the top four,” Abrams said. After those players, Wellington will get real young, real fast. “We are going to be extremely young this season with as many as four 16 year olds in the lineup so it will be up to the vets to lead,” Abrams added. News around this weekend's camp will alternate between who's there and who's not there. Confirmed not to be in attendance is veteran defencemen Austin Broadhurst as the veteran saw his rights traded to the Mississauga Chargers which likely had more to do with his enrollment at University of Toronto this fall than anything else. Another no show will be two-year Dukes veteran Mike Soucier. The diminutive centreman has aspirations to play in the United States Hockey League before his commitment to Bemidji State University in 2015-2016 and one could tell Abrams was nonplussed at Soucier's intentions. “When a player makes that decision (to leave to play in the United States), there is no coming back. There's no secret, we made it known to him a couple months back that we aren't playing second fiddle to any junior team or junior league and if he wants to play in the USHL, that's fine,” Abrams said. “Once that decision is made, we have no interest in the player.” Another player highly unlikely to return to Wellington this season is Trevor Cope.

Summer court time develops skills Inaugural County Clippers basketball camp offers chance to improve AdAm BrAmBurger

Staff writer

Chase Lavender wants to make a big impact on the basketball court at PECI this winter. As confident as the C.M.L. Snider graduate is about his abilities, however, he knows he hasn’t reached his ceiling as a player. “You've always got to get better,” he said. “No matter how good you are, how good you think you are, you can always get better.” With that in mind, Lavender and 36 other budding basketball players took to the court four days this week to put in a full day of practice at the inaugural County Clippers summer basketball camp. Coach Rob Garden said the session has been billed as an elite camp, designed to help players focus on the individual skills they don’t always develop in a team setting with limited practice time available to them. “This is more of a skillintensive four days that gives them the opportunity to take what they’ve learned here and go apply it on their own,” he said. Each morning, the campers receive a threehour time block where they are coached on the fundamental skills they’ll need to excel at basketball — shooting, dribbling, passing,

defending, and positioning. “Eighty per cent of what we do here is actually individual skill work,” Garden said of the camp. “The skills are the same ones we teach at the high school and OBA levels.” Following those skill sessions, the coaches have also incorporated skill challenges which allow the players to see how they’re progressing on their own. For example, each day there is a shooting challenge where players

have a set time limit to get as many points as they can, choosing from three set ranges on the court. Each day, the players perform in front of their peers, counting their totals and reporting them. There are daily winners and at the end of the four days, there will be an overall winner for points scored and there will also be an award for the most improved shooter. Another way the participants have been able to

develop their skills is through the gift of a new basketball to each player. Garden says more than a few have told him they went home at night and continued to work on the skills they learned at camp. Chloe MacDonald, also a C.M.L. Snider graduate looking to make her mark at PECI, said she likes the contrast between the camp and the Panther Hoops and County Clippers leagues she’s played in for years. “It’s very different. There’s more one-on-one time and a chance to work with Mr. Garden or Paige (Smith) by yourself on your individual skills when you don’t have thousands of others running around you.” MacDonald said she was able to work on her basic skills like getting to the basket and proper shooting technique, but she has also learned some of the mental game, like what to expect when trying out. She said she was actually a bit nervous when she heard about the camp — particularly the co-ed nature of a camp with girls and boys playing together — but she’s found it much more enjoyable than she thought. Though Garden would love to say the camp for players entering Grades 5-9 this fall will become a catalyst to develop strong OBA rep programs and a stream of talent for his PECI Panthers, he knows ultimately the players’ enjoyment is his biggest measure of success.

Wellington dragon boat festival draws 10 teams Kingston crew wins competitive title, Wellington on the Lake leading locals this year

Conservation officers with Ontario’s Ministry of Natural Resources are reminding people there are limits to the time they can spend camping on Crown land. Legally, Canadian residents can camp for free on Crown land for up to 21 days in a calendar year at any one site, unless posted otherwise. After 21 days, however, the campers must move a minimum of 100 metres to a new site. The law ensure the site will be available to other campers. Campers may use a tent, trailer, tent-trailer, recreational vehicle, or camperback. Any mobile types of accommodation are

A total of 10 teams took part in another successful year for the Wellington District Lions Club's annual Dragon Boat Festival. The festival raises funds for the club's many initiatives throughout the year, with teams paying $600 per crew to take part in the 250metre sprint. Dollars go to groups, individuals, and the many other causes the Lions back. Six club teams and four community teams took part in the festival. The winners of the club division were the Ottawa Blue Dragons with a time of 1:17:59. Second place went to the Kingston Here There Be Dragons team with a time of 1:18:10 — the closest race of the day. The winners of the community division were the Wellington on the Lake Lakers with a time of 1:22:31 and coming in second was the Prince Edward 4-H team with a time of 1:30:95. The winner of the Larry Brundage Spirit Award was the Friends and Family team from Community Living Prince Edward. Club teams from Wellington, Welland, Belleville, and Cobourg also participated Saturday. Organizer Janet Marissen said dragon boating is one of the fastest growing team sports in the world and in Wellington the group of paddlers has grown each year the festival has been held. “It's our major fundraiser — all the money raised goes back into the community,” said Marissen. “We've got fantastic support from local businesses supporting us and that's really helpful.” While awards were handed out on Saturday, Marissen said the festival is more about having fun and building community spirit. “We aren't very serious,” she said. “… We jump in each other's boats, you'll see the same colour shirts in three or four different boats — it's a fun festival.” The festival again featured the carnation ceremony with proceeds from carnation sales donated to support breast cancer research. “We play music and we pay tribute to those who are fighting, surviving, or who have passed away from breast cancer,” said Marissen. Wellington Legion member John Sanders and legion president Roger Riendeau took part in the day's first race, taking on Wellington on the Lake. “The number one thing is supporting the Lions,” Sanders said of participating in the festival. “It's a cooperative effort.” Riendeau concurred. “The Wellington Legion and the Lions have a longstanding partnership in supporting the community

(Chad Ibbotson/Gazette staff) and we work together,” he said. “This is their day.” He said the Lions are an important group in the community and legion wanted to be sure to support them. “It's a fun event. We have a very friendly rivalry

we've built up with our partners in Wellington on the Lake, many of them are members of our legion,” laughed Riendeau.“We pretend we're engaged in intense combat, but we aren't.” He said everyone who

participates does so with fun in mind and with a goal to raise money for important causes. Following the final heat and awards ceremony, racers were invited back to the Wellington Legion for a celebratory barbecue.

Local MNR offices can provide information about Crown land in the area residents wish to visit. Campers are responsible for cleaning up campsites and those caught leaving or illegally disposing garbage on Crown lands could be fined up to $10,000 under the Public Lands Act and required to pay to clean up. -Staff

ARIES (Mar 21/Apr 20) Aries, you may have to make a few minor changes to your original plan, but other than those minor adjustments there is nothing standing in your way this week. TAURUS (Apr 21/May 21) Home improvement projects continue to pile up, Taurus. Use this week as an opportunity to get everything in motion and on the path to completion. GEMINI (May 22/Jun 21) A few more tweaks and your master plan will be complete, Gemini. Now you just need a few able-bodied volunteers to work with you through some of the hard labor. CANCER (Jun 22/Jul 22) Cancer, a latesummer trip makes the perfect finale to a few good weeks of recreation. A little adventure is in your future, so make the most of this opportunity. LEO (Jul 23/Aug 23) Leo, once you have your mind made up, it is extremely difficult to sway your opinion. Others will try this week to get you onto their side. But you're just not feeling it. VIRGO (Aug 24/Sept 22) Virgo, whether you have been lucky or unlucky in love as of late, this is the week for some romantic surprises. Your entire perspective could be turned on its head.

LIBRA (Sept 23/Oct 23) A small disappointment has you out of whack, Libra. Don't let it get to you for too long. Family members will help pull you out of a brief funk and get you on your feet. SCORPIO (Oct 24/Nov 22) Scorpio, you may be ready to make some really big changes. Forge ahead with the plans you have created, and you will be glad for having done so. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23/Dec 21) Financial issues come to the forefront of a relationship, Sagittarius. Keep arguments from escalating by being open and honest about all purchases. Things can be worked out together. CAPRICORN (Dec 22/Jan 20) Few things can wipe away the smile on your face this week, Capricorn. You are in an eternally good mood, and your positivity is intoxicating to others around you. AQUARIUS (Jan 21/Feb 18) Aquarius, you will have an enormous sense of accomplishment when you finish a task you thought above your skill level. Always believe in yourself. PISCES (Feb 19/Mar 20) There is little room for things other than work this week, Pisces. Now is not the time to take on new chores. Save them for later.

“The biggest factor is whether the kids have fun. You can do all the skill work you want, but if they aren't having fun, they aren't going to go back and play. That's what play is about, it's about fun,”he said. Garden indicated he tries to get feedback from the players directly after each day’s session and also looks to parents to see if they might have some further insight into the program. A third measure of success would be to see more players stepping up to play for the County Clippers or carrying their basketball careers into high school. That’s one measure of growing the sport in a rural community, where gym time can be at a premium. While the house league sessions throughout the year have more of a group focus, Garden said there was a bit of a challenge moving toward a camp that focuses on individual pursuits, particularly with the spread of ages on the court. Ideally, he said the idea was to push players beyond their comfort zones to prepare them for higher levels of basketball.That’s where qualified help comes in and makes it easier to coach. Throughout the week, Garden has had Smith, a star PECI alum who walked onto the Seneca Sting college team last season and through hard work took its MVP honours this year, by his side. Particularly with the female athletes, having Smith around has been an uplifting experience. “It’s exciting being able to see what she’s learned and you hope you can play like her,” MacDonald said. Also, for several days,

well-known Panther Hoops coach Steve O’Brien has been lending his expertise, while graduating PECI all-star guard Taylor Reddick s — surely a role model among the young boys on the court — and PECI coach Andrew Wentworth also spent time assisting. The staff is rounded out by a couple members of the current PECI Panthers who are able to share their knowledge and excitement. With that many qualified coaches, the camp has been split into three groups that focus where individuals are at with their basketball at the present time. Though this is the first camp under the County Clippers banner, it isn’t a foreign concept locally. About seven years ago, former Carleton Raven Matt Ross came home and staged a camp that excited players like Reddick and Morgan Johnson, who were both in Grade 7 at the time. Garden said he was excited to learn this year that demand was high enough to start a similar program. He said he hopes to continue the elite camp in the summer only and start another camp in March break, one that will focus more on games. Both Lavender and MacDonald were encouraged to hear the camp would continue on and, ideally, at some point, they might even be the coaches that young players look up to in the future. “Subtract the heat and it has been a great experience,” said Lavender, who said he really improved his dribbling and shooting. “I hope it goes on and on and on,” said MacDonald, who has ambitions to build on the fundamentals she’s learned this week to one day earn a scholarship.

The winger had 46 points in 39 games last year and was expected to suit up for Michigan Tech in 2014-2015 but a late season leg injury has reportedly caused a deferral in his NCAA debut by a year. Whatever the case, it doesn't seem likely the Oakland Park, Michigan native is returning to Wellington for a second and final year. “At this point we just aren't interested in bring Trevor back,” Abrams said. “We can get younger at that position.” In other Dukes news, the club is looking for billets for the upcoming season. An integral part of Dukes success over the past two decades has been their ability to house players from all over North America in the Prince Edward County community. “It's probably our biggest challenge on a yearly basis,” Abrams said of finding enough suitable homes. “If you look around the league, it's a problem everywhere and that's really unfortunate because it can be a very rewarding experience.” Although it isn't widely reported, a number of former Dukes from far away

often make a summer pilgrimage back to the village and kibitz with their former land parents. “It happens all the time,” Abrams said. “Elliot Richardson dropped by the house a few weeks ago and Zach Blake, Sean Rudy, Warren Cooper, Peter Magagna are all in regular contact with their billet parents. It's usually a very rewarding experience and it can be for a young family that want's an older player as a big brother to their children or a retired couple that wants interaction with a Wellington Dukes player.” n The Dukes are hosting their annual hockey school starting Monday with a few slots still open. New this year to the week long camp for young hockey players is a daily power skating session with Mary Giacalone, one of canada's best powerskating instructors. “There's fundamental skills sessions and lots of ice time, over three hours a day,” Abrams said. “We have off ice training, fitness training, and video breakdowns and there's a good number of Dukes on the ice with the players.” For more information on the upcoming hockey school, visit www.wellingtondukes.com.

The defending champion Beatty Seeds Huskers showed some signs of life Monday night, finally climbing out of the Prince Edward County Men's Fastball League basement with a dramatic 10-8 win over the North Fred Kings. Down by seven runs in the early going, the Huskers mounted a comeback to make young hurler Jonathan Lamorre a winner. Chris McKeown took the tough luck loss in relief for the Loughborough Fast-

On Thursday evening in Picton, the league leading Danford Contracting club from Frankford beat up on the Terra Vista Rockies in a shortened 10-0 affair.

Wood said approximately 60 people took part in the BioBlitz, including eight or nine wildlife specialists who turned up to take part. “We were quite pleased with the turnout because we organized all this in a rather short time limit,” she said. “It was a very successful weekend — everybody wants to do it again.” Wood said the experts who were invited and who simply showed up to participate were a great resource for the BioBlitz. “They were able to educate the rest of us and find species that we would never have recognized — it was quite successful that way,” she said. Each participant took notes and filled out sheets detailing what they saw over the 24-hour period. Wood said the information is being collated and within three or four weeks the complete report will be sent out to everyone who participated. Cheskey and Catling gave a introductory talk prior to the start of the blitz. Cheskey said the south shore, and Prince Edward

those insects are eating things.” He said BioBlitz is all about getting people involved and contributing to the knowledge of the area. Catling said the BioBlitz is a combination of education, enjoyment, and gathering information that can be used for conservation. He too noted the significance of the county's habitats. “Prince Edward County is a special place in many respects,” he said. “… Shallow soil over limestone rock is not common in Ontario, it's kind of restricted and leads to special kinds of environments.” He said Prince Edward County is also special in that it is subject to the moderating effect of Lake Ontario and is almost an extension of Ontario's Carolinian zone and shares attributes with the habitats of the north shore of Lake Erie. “This region of eastern Ontario is very, very special in terms of many species of flora and fauna,” said Catling.
