A week before the event participants had already begun to stream into the Village of Ameliasburgh. By Saturday — Day 4 of the Prince Edward Auto Club's 39th annual South Eastern Ontario Street Meet— more than 200 show cars had flooded the village. Auto club president Fred Morton said organizers were overwhelmed and overjoyed with the turnout, which he said was a substantial increase over last year. “We had 208 as of this morning at 9 and they've been rolling in all day,” Morton said Saturday morning. “It's fabulous. We're very overwhelmed with the support of the community, that's much higher than usual. Usually at the end of the show we have 150 cars.” The show took place from Wednesday to Sunday and featured events ranging from volleyball and karaoke, to a potato race and rod balance. Family events included a kids zone and a family night complete with a drive-in type movie. “We put a lot of effort this year into keeping people here, that are regis-

tered, entertained,” Morton said. “It's more about community.” New this year was the pit stop challenge, he said. “You have to change a set of tires, put a set of plugs in the head, and fill a gas tank. It's going to be a lot of fun this year,” he said.
Aside from having a good time, Morton said the street meet has the additional goal of raising money that will be put into various community projects and charities. “We are a not-for-profit organization, so the money we make here goes back out into the community 100 per
cent,” Morton said. “We're big supporters of Relay for Life and we pick families that need support that would be too proud to ask.” Overall, Morton said he was happy with how all aspects of the show went. “We're very pleased. Our new motto is 'Having a blast reliving the past,'” he said.
“That's all about enjoying the old cars — and not just always old cars — if you have a new car that you've done something to, we have a class for that. We try to include everybody in the community.”

More than 400 bins sold as County starts organics program Number of participants exceeds organizers’ expectations Chad Ibbotson
Staff writer
There was a significant response as the municipality began the distribution of green bins for its new organics collection service on Saturday. A steady stream of traffic flowed into the Picton Home Hardware parking lot on Saturday morning as the municipality held its first day of sales for the new green bin organics receptacles. Sites in Ameliasburgh and Wellington also reported a positive response. For $20 residents could purchase a 79-litre green
bin, a seven-litre kitchen catcher, two free Bag to Earth biodegradable liner bags, coupons for more liner bags and a green bin guide. Prince Edward County corporate communications officer Ashley Stewart said the program actually did better than expected on its first day. “On the Saturday there were more than 400 bins purchased between the three locations that we had,” she said. “That's very good. It's a little bit higher than what people were expecting, but everyone was pleased with the outcome and the level of inter-
P U L L - O U T
R E A L
est.” The organic collection actually began this week for those who receive weekly curbside pickup. Stewart said the service will eventually operate with a single divided regular waste/organic waste truck picking up all the waste. However, she said until the end of September the service will be delivered with two trucks. “At this point the garbage truck will go around as it regularly does and then a second truck will go around to collect organics,” she said.

MORNING TRIM Diversion from landfills stated goal LOCAL The Picton Gazette THURSDAY, AUGUST 15, 2013
BINS, from page 1
Stewart said the expectation is the organics collection will have a positive impact on the municipality's landfills by reducing the overall tonnage of waste going into them. “That's the idea, that's the hope is that it diverts from landfills and is used for organics and composting,” she said. “The hope is that it will reduce
pressure on some of the landfill sites in the area.” A fact sheet provided by the municipality says organic waste accounts for more than 45 per cent of household garbage and using the green bin will save residents money on the cost of bag tags. Picton resident Paul DeRoche said he expects that will indeed be the case. He said he recently
moved to Prince Edward County from Vancouver and a similar program that was introduced there last year made a big difference. “We were probably averaging one bag of garbage maybe every two or three weeks and we used this and we composted and it really cut down on the amount of garbage we had to put out,” he said.

There were mixed emotions as Hospice Prince Edward unveiled new furnishings at the residential hospice; the fruit of a donation from the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Auxiliary. Representatives of Hospice and the Hospital Auxiliary gathered at the residential hospice in Picton on Friday to unveil three new beds, therapeutic mattresses, tables, and sit-tostand recliners — the purchase of which was made possible by an approximately $16,000 donation from the auxiliary. Auxiliary president Peggy Payne said it was both a pleasant and a sad-

situation to be able to come to someplace comfortable.â€? Payne said the residential hospice will be a valuable asset to the community. She said the Mary Catherine suite at PECMH is meant to be a warm and comfortable place for families to stay at the site, but she said in some ways it still feels like a hospital. “The beds are institutional, the showers are institutional ‌ whereas with this place, you really feel that it's comfortable,â€? she said. The beds can be controlled both from a handheld remote or through a control panel at the foot of the bed. They can raise up

as high as several feet and go as low as seven inches to the floor. The sit-to-stand recliners do just as their name suggests, raising from a comfortable sitting position to a nearly-vertical orientation to allow patients with low mobility to get around. From small touches like headboards on the beds and art on the walls to the larger aesthetics of a regular residential kitchen and family living room area, the residential hospice attempts to give patients the most comfortable care possible. Hospice Prince Edward residential project manager Heather Campbell said the residential hospice wouldn't be able to function without the equipment. She said without the donation from the hospital auxiliary, hospice would have had to dedicate more time to fundraising the cost. “It's a very significant contribution,� she said. “They've provided for this equipment furnishing for all three rooms.� Campbell said she is expecting the first patient to move into the residential hospice in the near future.

Payne knows first-hand the difference that home-inspired palliative care can make. She said her brother died from a brain tumour at the age of 50. “I saw what his wife did for him in their home and how they adapted their home for him and all the family. We felt so comfortable going into their home because there are so many things that are uncomfortable about a person dying,� she said. “It really eased the

PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY
Looking back in the
Picton Gazette 80 years ago — 1933
■ The Picton Fair was billing itself to be an event offering patrons double value as instead of spreading its activities over two days or longer, the fair organizers elected to stage a one-day event with all the regular activities happening over just one day. The organizers expected a record crowd of 12,000 people at once due to the changes and a significant savings in expenses from other years. ■ Manley McMaster, a 60-year-old bridge tender on the Murray Canal died after driving his care down a 15-foot embankment on the canal. It was not clear what McMaster had been doing when he drove the car into the water. ■ Tomato canning in the county had started but was not yet occurring on an extensive scale as tomatoes were ripening slowly. Factories in Cherry Valley, Picton, Bethel, Bloomfield, and Consecon had short runs to start the canning season.
60 years ago — 1953
■ The Prince Edward County Hospital Board and its planning committee met with their architects, Dreever & Smith, about plans for the new Memorial Hospital and the number of beds needed for medical, surgical, and maternity services as well as pediatric care, detention rooms, and food services. ■ Returning officer J.A. Clark announced there would be no advance poll in Prince Edward-Lennox during the federal election. Polls were only to be made available if 15 employed people people signified their desire to use them prior to nomination day. Clark said a number of people expected to be on holidays on polling day, but he could not accommodate them due to the specifications. ■ It was reported that airplanes were becoming increasingly valuable in North America for the spraying or dusting of crops with herbicides and pesticides.
40 years ago — 1973
■ Picton mayor H.J. McFarland announced he had sold a piece of land known as McFarland’s Island on West Lake to the Free Methodist Church for use of all its congregations between Montreal and Hamilton. McFarland said he believed the deal would benefit the community by bringing new visitors into the area. He added he believed the religious influence would also be good for the area. ■ A special committee of Picton’s town council was working to draft an agreement with the province to deal with the handling of sewage from the Prince Edward Heights Complex at the town’s wastewater treatment facility.
20 years ago — 1993
■ A lack of business caused by the sluggish economy forced Essroc to shut down its kilns and temporarily lay off 20 workers. Plant manager Leo Finnegan said it had been 11 years since the plant’s last layoffs. The move reduced clinker production and its costs stemming from fuel, power, and labour. ■ The Salvation Army’s territorial commander for Canada and Bermuda, Commissioner Wesley Harris visited Picton for a day where he and his wife led three separate prayer services. ■ The South Bay United Church hosted the annual Mariner’s Memorial Service where Allen Ralley was honoured for meritous service to the marine community.

Fall webworm now showing up on trees
We hear much these days about European invasive plants and how they have affected native habitats. That is the very nature of introduced plants from other countries that arrive with no natural predators. They explode in numbers, eventually levelling off as native species adjust themselves to the new intruder as best as they can, some doing okay, and others, not so well. What we don’t hear, or think too much about, is whether any of our own plants, or animals, ever make it across the ocean somehow and become invasive over there. At least one of them has, and we are seeing it right now in the branches of trees here in the Quinte region. No, it’s not tent caterpillar as some believe, but rather, fall webworm. It is native to North America, but was introduced to what was formerly Yugoslavia in the 1940s – sources don’t say whether accidentally or intentionally – and has since spread across Europe from France to the Caspian Sea as it penetrates central Asia. It is also in Japan, China and Korea. Turns out it is actually one of the few insect pests that we have exported. Oops! Another success story for an invasive species that is impacting those countries, much the same as their native species like purple loosestrife, garlic mustard, phragmites, zebra mussels, starlings, and others have gained a foothold here. Here, fall webworm is not
really considered an invasive species, for the simple reason that many biologists in the field of invasive plants feel that the term is reserved only for non-native plants. I have always had a problem with that philosophy, especially when we see our native red cedar populate once arable and fertile agricultural fields. To me, that is invasive. In fact, I even spoke up about it once on a guided tour, led by a biologist, who claimed that a particular plant we were looking at which dominated the scene that day, wasn’t an invasive plant since it was native to this area. Anything native can be invasive in the wrong place. Grass from our lawns becomes invasive if it successfully reaches our flower beds. The fall webworm caterpillar that we are seeing right now, does not develop into something as glamorous and profound like the lowly
While dropping into a restaurant or performance venue — or even walking down Main Street — this week, one will likely notice jazz music on display in the county. The Prince Edward County Jazz Festival kicked off Tuesday night at Books & Company with an informal lecture by Andy Sparling and Brian Barlow on Benny Goodman’s 1938 Carnegie Hall concert. Yester-

tomato hornworm that becomes a gorgeous sphinx moth. The fall webworm caterpillar evolves into a drab fall webworm moth, a rather nondescript white moth – almost pure white in northern parts of the province, but assuming a more mottled look the farther south we go. No doubt, you have seen them, and not realized the connection between them and the caterpillar we are seeing now. Like so many other of our local insects, they overwinter here in the pupal stage behind bark or under leaf litter. Pry back a piece of loose bark sometime and you may find the thin brownish cocoon, made of silk and interwoven with the detritus of dead insect parts, leaves and organic material. One sure way of distinguishing fall webworm nests from those of tent caterpillars, other than the time of the year, is their placement in the trees. Look at the webbed nests we are seeing right now; they are placed near the very ends of branches, the leaves webbed together with silk. Tent caterpillars in the spring place their webbed nests farther back in the branches. Using modified salivary glands along the sides of their mouth, caterpillars can produce silk as needed. It is within this webbing where the caterpillars eat, relatively safe from any bird predators looking for a quick meal, expanding the webbing as needed to cover fresh crops of leaves. Still, there are many predators and parasites that are out looking for them, like
the social wasps, predatory stink bugs and parasitic flies and wasps. These natural enemies help maintain webworm populations and although their numbers do periodically crest into outbreaks, any so-called damage they do is mainly aesthetic. Agronomists and arborists will offer many helpful suggestions on what to do if fall webworms appear on our trees. In general, the defoliation won’t hurt the tree because the damage is usually localized to just a few branches and since it occurs later in the season, the tree has already had time to store food. Also, because webworms are among the most polyphagous of insects, feeding on just about any kind of tree, the damage they do is not as serious as it might be from tent caterpillars which are a bit more fastidious in their menu choices. We always seem to have this annoying obsession on wanting to fix things – have order in our lives and to “manage” nature. Nature did very well by itself before we came along. The webs will eventually weather away over the winter. In short, fall webworms really are not a big deal. For more information on today’s topic, please e-mail tsprague@kos.net or phone 613-476-5072.

Conservation must not be forgotten as blackout fades away

YESTERDAY marked the 10th anniversary of the day the northeastern portion of North America went black as an outage in Ohio caused a cascading blackout that crossed borders putting large parts of both Canada and the United States in darkness. Some areas had power back that night and other areas had to wait several days for it. In the wake of that catastrophe, many raised concerns about the way people in developed parts of the world rely on the power grid for so much of our day-to-day lives. Indeed, many would be left in chaos if they could not use power for cooking, for entertainment, and for heating and cooling. In those days following the great blackout, many people made legitimate efforts to conserve energy and to get back to doing things more simply. Though that day served as a catalyst for both government and industry on both sides of the border to work to ensure there is a more stable grid, many experts say there are still concerns that increasing severe weather and cyber threats could cause just as much destruction in a matter of minutes. One wonders, then, whether the majority of the population has really continued on with the vows they made after that threat or if, simply, the blackout of all blackouts was forgotten and our society has largely continued forward in consuming all the energy it can with no end in sight. That said, Ontario often sells off extra energy to other connected jurisdictions now, yet the costs it is passing on to energy users continue to climb. Some of that comes from legitimate upgrades to the system, some comes from vastly overpaying for renewable energy that isn’t solving a problem, and some of it is coming from the fact that fewer businesses are surviving in Ontario and paying into the grid because they’ve found some place where doing business and paying for electricity makes more sense. Essentially, though this province doesn’t have a problem with producing energy, the cost is going up and up. For that reason as well, it would behoove people to think back to that black afternoon 10 years ago and to think about their own energy uses and how they could use that money elsewhere and likely benefit the economy. It’s also time for governments to look back at that time and realize that one of the best ways to keep the grid in good shape is to not push it to the brink every time there is a hot day or each night when the clock hits a certain peak time. They, then, should be the people who are stepping forward first to encourage residents to conserve energy. Instead of looking at supply in terms of production, it is time everyone takes a look at conservation instead. Rather than spending money this province doesn’t have — money many of its citizens also don’t have — programs should be designed to encourage conservation measures and reward those people who find ways to take pressure off the grid by creating innovative solutions at home or at work.

Gisèle’s Big Backyard and kite carnival to visit Picton branch
Gisèle, one of the most well known names in children’s television, wears more than one hat, both literally and figuratively. The host of the Gemini Award winning Gisèle’s Big Backyard on TVO, Gisèle Corinthios, also writes, produces and develops shows as well as creating the characters that she embodies. The talented mother of two began her career on TVOKids in 1998 as the star of network’s first weekday preschool show called The Nook. In 2004, The Nook evolved into Gisèle’s Big Backyard. According to Pat Ellingston, creative head of TVOKids, there are two icons in the station’s programming; one is Polkaroo and the other is Gisèle. TVOkids enjoys a popular online presence as well with a web site dedicated to helping children learn. With the Big Backyard Book Club, Gisèle shares her love of books with children through her book of the month readings. That is what she will be doing in person at the Picton branch of The County of Prince Edward Public Library & Archives on Saturday, Aug. 24 at 2 p.m. Come hear Gisèle read from her selection for book of the month, ask her questions and get a favourite book signed. Children will receive a free book bag as well. Space is limited, as are the number of book bags, so please arrive on time to secure a space and help ensure you receive a book bag. The “Read with Gisèle” event will mark the end of an extremely successful summer of programming at the County’s public

library branches with hundreds of children enjoying both programs presented by staff and special performances. When Gisèle visits, we will also announce the draw winner for the TD Reading Club grand prize of a Mad Science Party for 10. Children may still enter their names in the draw by registering in the Reading Club and placing their names in the ballot box with one chance for each book read. The end of the reading club party and kite carnival takes place this Friday, Aug. 16 at 11 a.m. Bring the whole family for facepainting, refreshments and kite flying, either with a kite you may have crafted at one of the library’s kite workshops or any other kite. For more information on these or any other programs at the library, visit us online on our web site at www.peclibrary.org or call 613-476-5962.
The first Food Not Bombs community meal saw more than 70 people arrive to eat fresh local corn, donated bread, quinoa, swiss chard salad, cucumber salad, peaches and watermelon. Many visitors also shared surplus food from their own gardens for others to take home. Food Not Bombs thanks all those who came out. The organization is working to counter the recent report card by the Children’s and Youth Services Network which places Hastings and Prince Edward Counties atop others in Ontario for food insecurity — the inability to get nutritious, sufficient, acceptable food.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Council takes misguided approach to rural rentals
A recent planning public council meeting was a pure example of democracy gone wrong. Going against the planning department’s report to deny the application, council voted to approve an application to rezone a rural property to approve two illegally built rental units on land that is classified prime agricultural area. Council voted to approve this application totally ignoring the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS). This was an emotional and misguided decision based on how nice the units are and a sob story not facts, policy and totally dismissing any concerns brought forward by the planning department and concerned citizens. They had obviously made their decision to approve before that July 17 meeting. Where was the democratic process? A question we would also like to ask council “would you be so quick to vote for this
if it was in your own backyard?” What struck us at the meeting of July 17, were the comments made by councilors such as: “These units are so nice I would like to live there. Well this is not different than a bed and breakfast with six rooms (six rooms fall under an inn by the way). This is the hardest decision I have had to make. How many of these illegal units do we already have in the county?” “The “PPS” includes policies that promote efficient development patterns, long term economic prosperity, the wise use of resources such as water, agriculture, natural heritage and cultural heritage, as well as policies that protect public health and safety in regard to natural hazards like flooding and human-made hazards like contaminated sites.” As many of us who live in prime agricultural areas of Ontario we elect our local government to
responsibly develop the land around us according to the PPS. If our local council thinks that going against the PSS is for them to decide and break the rules based on a sob story, they have truly forgotten why we elected them, what their job is and that they work for us the voters. We are opposing this rezoning not only as neighbours but because it goes against PPS policy, creates density development, affects property rights, sets precedent for further rezoning of Rural residential and fails to retain the historical and agricultural heritage. If this is approved this will indeed open up a whole can of worms as they say. The owner built two illegal units already and has a lot more space to build more and I ask what will stop that from happening if the current ones are approved? Council is sending the message “come here build what you want not only
illegally but even if your property is not zoned for what you build and no matter what you will get our blessing” even if Council itself has to break the rules to make you happy. We imagine that this issue is the topic of conversation around the county! If you share our concerns, and don’t like the direction council is taking the County, this might be just the time for you to step up to the plate, stand up for what you believe in and tell them so. And don’t forget to remind them they work for us. We don’t think a politician can be reminded of that too often. Register now to make your deputation at the Aug. 27 meeting. If you can’t make the meeting, at least speak to your councilor as word on the street is some are digging their heels in about their misguided decision. Linda and David Mather, Bloomfield
Community support makes Relay For Life a success
As president of the Hastings-Prince Edward County and Brighton community office of the Canadian Cancer Society, I want to express my sincere appreciation to you for the support you showed to the Prince Edward County Relay For Life committee for the event they organized at the Picton fairgrounds June 7- 8. With your support, the Relay For Life committee
was able to provide the survivors and participants with an opportunity to Celebrate, Remember and Fight Back. This Relay For Life steering committee is second to none.Each and every member displays commitment to their area of focus and willingness to provide support to other members of the committee — a shared commitment which
ensured success. On their behalf I want to thank you, the citizens of the county for supporting this opportunity to help the Canadian Cancer Society raise funds to support their mission to eradicate cancer and enhance the quality of life for those diagnosed with cancer and their families. The community support this event was given is a
testament to the respect the clubs, merchants and citizens of Prince Edward County have for this hard working committee and the work they do to raise funds, deliver the message of prevention and share information about the services provided by the Canadian Cancer Society.

This week I entered the Picton post office to buy a stamp and mail a letter. I took my wallet out to pay for the stamp and inadvertently lost a credit card. I had no idea I had lost the card until I met a postal worker named Nancy on Main Street. Nancy told me
that she had found a card she believed belonged to me. As there was no identification on the card, I was amazed at her remembering me as a customer and linking my past visit to the post office to the lost card. I immediately went to the post office and found the
card was mine and hard been carefully kept to return to me. The honesty, care, and concern demonstrated by Nancy deserves praise. The actions of all the staff in keeping the card safe until I could retrieve it enhances the image of Canada Post and
instills trust and confidence in the customer. Thanks to Nancy and all the staff at our Picton post office. The community deserves to know what a great staff we have there. Rod Holloway Picton

Clerk helped municipality develop Leskie retires from County, White succeeds her mentor ChAd IbbOTSOn
Staff writer
From amalgamation to communications, Victoria Leskie's span as County clerk coincided with a time of change for Prince Edward County. After serving the municipality for longer than decade Leskie retired at the end of June. She said she's spent her first weeks of retirement taking it easy. “I've basically just been enjoying the summer, relaxing and recuperating,” Leskie said. While she couldn't say exactly what her future plans are, Leskie said she doesn't see herself completely withdrawing from municipal work. “It's been my life, I'm just too committed to it,” she said. Leskie was hired as clerk in 2002, four years after the county's 10 townships became one municipality. She described her time with the corporation as a period of growth. “It was still very, very young when I started. They were still recovering from amalgamation, so there was a lot of work to be done,” she said. It was difficult for Leskie to narrow down what she will remember most from her time with the municipality, but she said she looks back with pride on some of the things she accomplished as clerk. “One of the things I'm most proud of is the work that I did in helping develop the communications strategies and plans and customer service improvements with the County,” she said. “That's always been kind of a focus of mine all throughout the time I was there so I was pleased to be able to contribute in that way.” She said if she has any regrets from her time with the municipality it's that she
VICTORIA LESKIE
wasn't able to complete the residents resources program. The program was envisioned as a pool of community volunteers whose expertise could be tapped when community input was required for a decision. “That's something I've been trying to work away at for a few years now. However, it's in good hands,” she said. In addition to that period of change, Leskie has seen her share of contentious issues crop up at council. She said the size of council was one of the first things she heard about when she was hired and is still fresh in her mind. She said she's interested to see how the citizens' assembly approach works. “The size of council topic has been with me for the whole 11 1/2 years that I worked at the county and it just kept reoccurring and coming back,” she said. “… The fact that the work is being done by randomly chosen citizens I think is really going to give it added credibility. It's a pretty interesting process and it will be fascinating to see what they actually come up with in the end.” Leskie said she has worked for three different mayors and at least that many councils since coming to Prince Edward County. “I've always had a great deal of respect for the members of council and the mayors we've had and the hard
work they've put in,” she said. “The poor folks rarely get the credit they deserve.” Leskie's retirement opened up a position within the corporation, one that has been filled by former deputy clerk Kim White. Leskie said White is a committed person and is more than capable of handling the position. “I'm so proud of the organization for recognizing her commitment and her contribution to the municipality,” she said. “I completely agree with promoting from within and I think Kim is going to be excellent in the job and she just brings a wealth of institutional knowledge to that position that is rapidly disappearing. She's hugely valuable to the municipality.” White — who worked with Leskie for her entire duration as clerk — described Leskie as a patient and thorough mentor. “She was very accommodating to both residents who may walk through the office or council members — she always had time,” White said. White's municipal career began in her home Village of Bloomfield in 1992 when she was hired as deputy clerk. She then served as clerk for Bloomfield before taking on the role of deputy clerk for the amalgamated municipality. White said she's looking forward to taking on the new challenges that come with her new position, noting Leskie's mentoring and guidance played a part in shaping her abilities. “Moving from a two-tier system into a single tier system was challenging for all of us when we first amalgamated,” White said. “Working with Victoria, she gave me a lot of knowledge, but she would also challenge me with tasks … I do believe you learn by doing, so you have to take hold and go.”

Like the mixture of milk and culture in its awardwinning cheddars, Black River Cheese is hopeful it has landed upon the right recipe for its next challenge. The historic cheese factory recently announced that it has hired cheese master Doug Peters to be its new general manager — and it has set the bar high in its expectations for him. “They actually came looking for me. They were looking for someone with the managerial and cheesemaking experience to help with the growth they’re considering now,” Peters said. Most recently the plant manager at Burnbrae Farms in Brockville, an egg distributing company, Peters also spent some time with

Sealtest in Ottawa, and previously he worked for more than 20 years for the renowned Balderson Cheese, the famed cheddar producer in Lanark County. Peters said he was interested in coming to Black River to get back to his roots making cheese and working with the product he is preparing to market. “I like the hands-on approach to the smaller companies. It’s a good team that I’m working with here and an excellent operation,” he said. “Some of the bigger companies there’s not much handson work, it’s really pretty automated.” Ironically, Peters’ task with Black River will include adding in new machinery and methodology that would change the way its factory operates.

Peters said he has no plans to see the production process cheesemaker Brad Reid has used to produce Grand Prix winning cheddar in recent years. Instead, he’s going to focus on the after-production processing. “What we’re looking at is more automation in our cutting process,” said Peters. He added through the proposed changes, Black River is hopeful to add more efficiency to its process, which could allow it to roll out some new product lines and possibly move more product to the market, creating more work. One of the innovations he’s already worked on during his short time with the South Marysburgh co-operative is the creation of a new lab, which is already being used to analyze cheese.
Peters declined to talk about some of the new ideas the crew at Black River is working on, but he did say staff was closing in on testing for one of the products. Peters said he is hopeful his tenure with Black River will be a productive one. “Black River Cheese has an impressive history of making quality, award-winning cheeses. We have a great team here and are looking forward to exciting possibilities for the company, including new products, and expanded production, lab operations, and social media outreach,” he said. “As always, we will continue our commitment to the highest quality cheese for our customers.” Thus far, Peters said he has found the collective’s board and its employees to be a tight-knit and receptive group to work with and he can feel a real connection to the community around the cheese factory. “They’re pretty loyal to the plant here,” he said.

JENICA HAMMETT
Rum Runners musical opens Saturday
County audiences will have a chance to see a young woman who is making some noise on in Toronto acting circles these days in a new local musical. Jenica Hammett, whose recent on-screen credits include Degrassi, Carrie, and Pompei with Keifer Sutherland, jumped at the opportunity to take the lead role in Suzanne Pasternak’ and Mark Despault’s musical The County Rum Runners, a role originally envisioned for Emily Fennell. “Jenica is a fantastic addition to the cast,” said Pasternak. “As well as being a terrific actor and singer, she is a gifted dancer as well. We will have some wild Charleston dances in the show.” The show is set in the heyday of rum running around South Bay and Main Duck Island and Pasternak describes it as a comedy. She said it is dedicated to writer and researcher Bill Hunt, a man who had written extensively on the industry. “Just like Willis Metcalf, he collected these important stories right on the cusp of when all the oldtimers who carried this knowledge were very old and we would have lost the history once they were gone.” The show takes place this Saturday at 2 and 8 p.m. at the Waupoos Marina. Tickets are available for $20 at Books & Company and at the door and the show is in support of the Bellwood Foundation , a charity engaged in promoting addiction prevention and healthy choices. -Staff

NEWS FROM THE
The Victoria Schoolhouse in Ameliasburgh has been teeming with energy as summer has brought lots of excitement to the fairgrounds. The annual Flywheel Show brought in families whose children received a special lesson in cursive writing and schoolyard games. Day camps have also brought in lots of young faces. Partnering with the adjacent Ameliasburgh Historical Museum,I regaled campers with stories of paleontology and how scientists are trying to create

dinosaurs out of chickens! QEMA’s own first Friday day camp was a huge success, with families reporting that their children could not stop talking about everything they did during the day. Campers started their day dipping handmade wicks into melted wax to create candles. Using different scents, food colouring and crayons at different times during the process, the candles came out with beautiful layers of colours and smelling of cinnamon! The day got louder as everyone hammered holes into tin cans to make lanterns for their candles. There was never a dull moment during the day as the Schoolhouse is a great setting for playing pretend. Campers took turns being the teacher and giving out homework to their students. A definite highlight of the day was picking lettuce, beans and peas from the school garden and making a fresh salad for lunch. The second camp promises many more adventures as campers, under supervision of museum staff, learn to use carving tools on clay, soap, wood and even fruit! Our drop-in embroidery classes have also been well received with students finding that the day flies by while they practice their stitches and eventually get to embroider a wall decoration using patterns ranging from unicorns to monsters and pirates! The summer still holds lots of excitement as we continue with drop in embroidery classes and day camps that will focus on letter writing, gardening, and pioneer weaponry (including how one might use them to defend on a zombie invasion). -Gabriele Cole
The QEMA archives keeps our volunteers busy and fascinated. We get many requests for information on former teachers and students in the county, and continue to receive copies of old school photos. These are always welcome. Please don’t throw them out. Bring them to us for the future generations to enjoy. We have received a marvelous donation of hundreds of old school books from Glanmore House. Many of these are wonderful school texts and educational reference books date back into the early 1800s. Our rare book collection has received a huge input from this amazing donation. Did you know that there were teaching manuals in the 1800s on how to use a globe? This may seem obvious, but these teaching manuals are several hundred pages of close type. Plain globes made of slate were available as teaching aids, for the students to use to practice drawing the continents, lines of latitude and longitude, et cetera. Can anyone turn a slate ball to add to our collection? We have had several interesting new donations including a collection of inkwells and student scrapbooks.

We have also unearthed some interesting finds from our collection, including a collection of weed seeds in small bottles collected for a teachers’ college assignment, and an original set of Cuisenaire Rods for arithmetic studies. These are the old wooden rods in lovely clear stains of colour, now replaced in modern classrooms by plastic rods. Our new volunteer, Margaret, is very busy sorting through decades of previously un-catalogued newspaper clippings, and is finding some interesting facts. For example, one day a teacher in Hillier was tied to her desk and left there when the pupils went home for the day. Some giggling children eventually told their parents and she was finally rescued. Our local history is a fascinating study, and our wonderful documents and other treasures play a huge role in supporting the information and activities presented in our Victoria Schoolhouse. Please Come and visit us. -Peggy Ritchie, archivist

Passion will drive success for young winegrowers at TerraCello Winery
Last year I was driving down County Rd. 1 on my way to visit some wineries and I noticed once again there was work happening just down the road from Huff Estates. I had noticed some vines in front of a drive shed right on the highway and a large field of vines behind the buildings but now there was work actually happening at the drive shed. I said to myself there must be a new winery opening and so I stopped in and that's when I first met Tony and Daniela Auciello. Theirs is an amazing story and today I want to introduce someone whom I believe is the youngest and most passionate owner and winemaker in the county. There are a lot of passionate winemakers and owners in the county (and I've written about a lot of them) but what I saw and heard that day will stay with me. I asked him if he was opening soon and he said he would like to but it would take another year as he wanted to stay within his means ... do it as he could afford it! Tony passionately told me of the families "pezza di Terra" in Italy. He visited there in 2004 and was saddened to see that instead of the fruit trees and vineyard

that were once prominent, there was only overgrown bush now. But a seed was planted in his mind. A year later in 2005 his mother Franka was on a group tour to Prince Edward County and when she returned home to Toronto she excitedly told young Tony (then just 25) that there was this whole wine region just two hours from Toronto. Tony told me he then "kidnapped" his soon to be wife, Daniela, and together they spent a year looking for that magical piece of "Terra" here in the county that they could call their own.
In 2006 they found their dream: the Fox farm, formally the home of John Fox, County warden in the 1960s. Prior to moving to the county, Tony was working seven days a week as a teacher (Daniela now teaches here in the county) and also for the City of Toronto works department and he brought that work ethic here to pursue his dream. The old 4,000 square foot drive shed was slowly renovated over the years to resemble an old Italian wine "fattoria" (factory). It was renovated using 65-per-cent salvaged county material and he even utilized material such as brick from the historic Picton church to pay homage to the county as well as his late father, a master stonemason. He told me his father used to tell him: “you can build something from nothing, but you’ll have to sacrifice” and “always go through the back door when the front door is closed”. Being so young I had to ask him what he knew about wine! He smiled, looked me right in the eye and said he was Italian, he's been drinking wine since he was four years old! He then reminded me of the family vines home in Italy and his family has been making wine for some

time. He also tells me about his mentor here in the county and it so happens Pat Delgatto is a good friend of mine as well! I guess there really is something that binds Italians and wine! They are very passionate when you talk to them! Their vineyard comprises 5.5 acres planted to both Vitis Vinifera and French hybrids.

timeline. Their rustic, Italian style patio offers a tranquil area nestled among their vineyard. Panoramic views of the countryside in an unspoiled rural setting set the stage for their wood fired authentic Italian style pizza oven where families can sit, relax and enjoy a glass of wine under the pergola, reminiscent of a Tuscan countryside. This past weekend when I stopped by Tony was adamant that I taste some lasagna his mother had made ... and of course enjoy some great wine to go with it. Daniela joined us on the patio between customers and then a group of Italian heritage stopped by and couldn't stop talking about how they thought they just stepped in a small winery in Italy. Tony and Daniela opened "quietly" a couple weeks ago (and I encourage you to stop by and enjoy their great hospitality) and plan their grand opening for Saturday, Oct. 19. Tony has promised me that it will be the biggest Italian party the county has ever seen and I certainly plan on being there! Hope you are as well! Salute!
FOOD WASTE
TerraCello’s vines such as their Riesling and Cabernet Franc have been imported from Germany and France respectively. Their soil consists of heavy “hillier clay loam” over fragmented limestone bedrock with a high residual ph which makes it absolutely vital. Their vines are grafted onto lime tolerant rootstocks and their soil depths range from 28 inches at the front of their estate to 36 inches in their “Vento” plot. All TerraCello’s vines have been hand planted by their friends and family who volunteer their time every few years to break a sweat and enjoy being together with one another, and of course good food. Tony explains that they spread vine roots evenly, water each plant immediately, tamp each vine to ensure no air pockets are released, and add various fertilizers to ensure optimal plant nutrition. Over time he believes their vines will be greener, healthier and happier with increased resistance to disease and insect damage because of their eco friendly vineyard strategies. He explains that all plants are custom pruned according to the vine age and to their growth habits. As well, weed management, tying, tucking, de leafing, de clustering and hedging are all done by hand with great effort to maximize varietal character on a regimented

Come Alive Outside to introduce book of games ChAd IbbotSon
StAff wRitER
Come Alive Outside Prince Edward County is spearheading an international project which will look to create a book of outdoor games that can be referenced by groups looking to get their community active. Local Come Alive Outside program co-ordinator Sarah Walker said the book of games is one of the most important projects the organization has been working over the summer and was inspired by a community cookbook. “I was helping clean out more grandmother's house and I came across an old recipe book that was from her church back in the '40s,” she said. “It had a whole bunch of recipes with people's names and the town they were from. It was just this collection of things and I got the idea that Come Alive Outside could do a book of games with a similar format.” Walker shared the idea with other groups in June while at a conference in Atlanta. She said the idea has since caught fire, saying she has already collected games sourced from communities
across North America. “I'm getting submissions from at least 22 different states down in the U.S., a couple of different provinces here and I'm also collecting a lot of games from right here in Prince Edward County,” Walker said. The book of games is designed to be used as a tool for families, communities, and businesses to pitch in and get kids playing outside. The games will be applicable for backyards, neighbourhood parks and conservation areas. Walker said so far communities have submitted everything from nature scavenger hunts to capture the flag. “There's a real variety of things,” she said. She said the concept of Come Alive Outside is starting to take off in the United States and the book of games could provide a valuable resource for those communities looking to start their own Come Alive Outside-type organization. “I just had a webinar last week with similar communities and their city councillors that are looking to do the same thing we've done here,” Walker said. “… Everybody is kind of model-
‘The idea is simple, everyone gets it and people get excited about it.’

She said in addition to games that will get kids physically active, there will be games geared toward connecting kids to nature. “It's organized like that so literally if you're taking your kid to the park and you see you have two or three kids, you could look for those specifics in the book and find a list of games or activities that would work,” she said. Walker said Come Alive Outside is hoping to have businesses in interested com-
munities sponsor the printing of the book. She said the book will also be available as a free download. “The end goal is to make it available to everybody,” she said. She said communities across the United States and Canada seem eager to contribute to the book. “The idea is simple, everyone gets it and people get excited about it. Everybody has something to add, everybody has a game their played as a kid,” she said. Walker said she is hoping to have all the game ideas compiled within a couple of weeks. “Most of the work has been done, I'm just putting the games in and I hope to have a file within the next couple of weeks and then we'll go from there,” she said. Come Alive Outside is calling on community members of all ages to submit their ideas whether they are games residents played as kids or games they play with their grandchildren. Ideas can be submitted through e-mail at s.walker@ comealivepec.ca, online at www.comealivepec.ca, or by phone 613-476-1181.

More e-mail etiquette tips, including suggestions about forwarding messages Stack suggests that you use group e-mail sparingly. This is when you send something to lots of people, all of whom you put their email address in the “to” line. Send group email only when it's useful to every recipient and in the case of jokes, only when the recipients have agreed to receive such emails. If a constant stream of jokes from a friend annoys you, be honest and ask to be removed from their list. Don't send chain letters, virus warnings, or junk mail. Always check a reputable antivirus Website before sending out an alarm.
There’s e-mail etiquette that just isn’t known by everyone and especially not by seniors who often didn’t use e-mail when they were still in the work setting. Last week’s column covered several tips. The Microsoft web site includes these additional tips for better email etiquette. Check out the whole article, written by Laura Stack, at www.office.microsoft.com This week’s column covers “forwarding” emails and what to do if you receive one of those “forwards” and you wonder if the claim is true or false; also how to ask a friend to stop sending you jokes.

Make sure that when you email someone that you direct personal email to their home email account. If you don’t know which email address is home and which is work, then ask them. When forwarding a message from someone you should not change the wording in the original email. If you do forward a joke by e-mail you should remove the name of the person who sent it to you before sending it on. Stack suggests checking on forwards before sending them on. I recently received an e-mail on Benzine emissions from cars when you turn on the air conditioning. Upon checking www.snopes.com this claim turned out to be “false”.

apart to get as many plants as you want. You may need to use a sharp knife to divide the plant if it will not be easily torn apart. In each case, leave the roots on each division and keep them moist while out of the ground. Loosen the new planting area to a depth of 20 cm and add organic matter to the soil to improve water and oxygen retention. Do not plant hostas in a poorly drained location as they are prone to root and crown rot in wet conditions. Dig a hole as deep as the root ball and one and a half times as wide. Place the hosta into the hole with the crown at soil level and add soil around it. Do not bury

the crown. Add a layer of mulch about one inch deep but not touching the plant itself. Thicker layers of mulch encourage slugs. If you have a lot of earwigs in the area, you can sprinkle a layer of diatomaceous earth around the plant to discourage them. Hostas perform best in a well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Once established, they are drought tolerant but require regular moisture for the best appearance and size. Most hostas are native to a habitat with 1270 mm (50 inches) or more of rain per year. The average annual rainfall for Prince Edward County is 965 mm per year. For best results, supplemental irrigation may be necessary. Drip, soaker hose or a similar system is preferred to avoid wetting the foliage, reduce foliar disease problems
and maintain color intensity of blue foliaged cultivars. Most hostas grow best in shade although some cultivars such as “Honeybells�’, “Lancifolia,� “Sum and Substance� and “Green Wedge� will tolerate partial sun. While there are some exceptions, blue-foliaged cultivars prefer shade and yellow-foliaged cultivars tolerate partial sun. Hostas are generally grown for their lush foliage; however, some gardeners appreciate their flowers as well. Sun tolerant cultivars will flower more profusely if they receive morning sun each day. Your planting site should have some wind protection to prevent leaf browning or desiccation. Excess nitrogen causes hosta leaves to soften, readily wilt and become subject to foliar diseases. High
nitrogen can also diminish the intensity of variegated patterns so it is probably best to keep hostas back from turf areas where high nitrogen fertilizers are used routinely. No more than one eighth pound of actual nitrogen is needed for a 38 sq. metre bed. If you use compost as your soil amendment, you should not need to fertilize your hostas at all.
The cooler air and less intense sun that late summer brings makes gardening very enjoyable. Take some time to plan the work that you will be doing when that time comes which is only a few weeks away.

It is time to plan for the late summer and fall gardening season which begins right after the heat of summer dissipates. Chores like cleaning up garden debris, dividing and moving perennials and planting new perennials are in order. I have always recommended that gardeners keep a journal including a map of the plants in their gardens so that they can note which plants need to be moved, taken out, seriously pruned, et cetera when the time is right. I recently got a great tip from a friend who knows a gardener who simply places different coloured Popsicle sticks near the plant that either needs dividing, pruning, moving, throughout the gardening season. Each colour indicates an activity. Then when the time is right for each activity, she can move through her garden performing the tasks that are needed. I thought that was brilliant and wanted to pass the idea along. I was asked by a friend if she could divide hostas in the fall or wait until spring. Late summer and fall are the best time to divide and or transplant perennials, including hostas. There are two ways to divide hostas. You can use a sharp knife to slice through the plant where it is now and take out a portion, leaving the rest in the ground.or you can lift the entire plant and break it

Waupoos Estates launches Rose Haus Riesling
AdAm BrAmBurger
Staff writer
While purchasing a bottle at Waupoos Estates Winery, patrons now have a chance to directly support another historic North Marysburgh operation. On Friday, the winery rolled out its Rose Haus Riesling, a wine produced with grapes originating from the Rhine region in Germany, which borders on the Hesse state where many of North Marysburgh’s earlier settlers came from. In selling the reserve wine from grapes grown right in Waupoos, the winery will give 10 per cent of the proceeds from every bottle to the Rose House Museum to support ongoing preservation efforts and operations at the Countyowned facility. The County’s head museum curator Jennifer Lyons said she was pleased to see the partnership develop as its a new way to bring in money and exposure for the museum. “We in museums tend to be kind of focused on museumy things, so it’s always a great idea to stretch beyond our traditional boundaries and come up with new ways
to make money for the museums— that’s also important — but also to work with our neighbours and to give a good profile for heritage in Prince Edward County.” Lyons said the people at Waupoos Estates made it very easy to showcase Rose House and she added their generosity has “opened our eyes” to new possibilities for other local museums. Waupoos general manager Kyle Baldwin said when the County’s community development department, he was immediately intrigued because he knew how fond the winery’s late founder Ed Neuser was of the museum and of the surrounding community. “Ed loved Rose House and the people around
there,” he said. “It’s our way of showing a little bit of appreciation for Ed.” Baldwin added Neuser was actually buried in the Rose Cemetery, not far from the museum grounds. Winemaker Amy Dickinson described the product as a “really nice, refreshing, fruit-forward wine” that also has some minerality to it. She indicated it has the aromas of apricot, golden pear, citrus, and soft floral notes. The label on the wine comes from a print made by county artists Raymond Croft Woods of the 1820s homestead museum. Lyons said Wood is the brother-in-law of a regular museums volunteer and through that connection, museums staff were able to
secure the image to use. “It’s a nice rendering of the house and the message we want to portray,” said Lyons.. In other Rose House news, the Friends of Rose House have produced a cookbook filled with apple recipes that will be sold at various locations including Waupoos Estates to help with their fundraising efforts. The book discusses Waupoos apples and includes some traditional recipes from the Rose family and other early settlers to the North Marysburgh area. The cost of the books is $5 each.

Mooney to bring plan to council today Restructuring would see North, East, West electoral areas council size would require changes to the County’s historic ward structure,” the plan's opening description says. Some want to improve councillor representation which could also affect the 10 historic wards, the plan says. “Due to these interlinked factors, every discussion on council size gets complicated quickly and ends up going nowhere,” the plan says. Mooney's plan purports to achieve three main objectives: The preservation of the historic wards, the improvement of councillor representation, and flexibility in council size. The three electoral wards would overlay the current 10 historic wards with the north electoral ward covering Ameliasburgh and Sophiasburgh, east covering Picton, North Marysburgh, South Marysburgh, and Athol, and west

While council awaits the completion of its citizens' assembly exercise, a county citizen will give his own ideas on the size of council at this morning's committee-of-the-whole meeting. Resident Gary Mooney is slated to give a presentation to the committee this morning which purports to solve some of the most contentious issues surrounding the size of council. Titled the N. E. W. plan — so named because the plan involves creating three electoral wards titled north, east, and west — Mooney's restructuring of county council representation begins with an acknowledgement of some of the complications that have arisen in the past. “Some citizens and councillors want fewer councillors; others favour the status quo. But many people are concerned that reducing GENTLE

covering Hallowell, Bloomfield, Wellington, and Hillier. “Three electoral wards overlay the county’s ten historic wards for purposes of councillor representation,” the plan says. “The 10 historic wards, which have their origins in United Empire Loyalist times, are preserved unchanged — the same names, boundaries, town halls and road signage.” In terms of population, the plan says each would represent roughly the same number of voters at 9,108, 9,070, and 9,272 respectively. “With electoral wards having almost equal numbers of electors and equal numbers of councillors, excellent representation by population is achieved,” the plan says. Under the plan each ward would have the same number of councillors and allows for as many as five or as few as two councillors per ward. Each councillor would represent all electors in the electoral ward. “With an odd number of councillors (e.g. 15 or nine) plus the mayor, there is the potential for a tie vote on a motion when all are present,” the plan says. “In this situation, there must be at least two more yes votes than no votes for the motion to pass (e.g. 9-7 or 6-4), rather than just one more — thereby requiring a greater consensus.”
Starting point The historic stone chapel nestled in the centre of Glenwood Ceme-
tery serves as a starting point for walking tours through the historic burial ground off Ferguson Street on the south side of Picton. (Peggy deWitt/For The Gazette)
Cemetery tour offers glimpse into past
By walking through a cemetery, one can discover a lot about the community that cemetery serves. In the case of a burial ground like Glenwood, which has been in operation since 1883 and is the final resting place for thousands of people, there’s a lot of history to be found.

Wellington duo helps Eastern Ontario to silver in sevens Armstrong joins captain Bennett at Under-18 rugby event adam BramBurgEr
Staff writer
As Eastern Ontario claimed silver medals at the provincial under-18 sevens rugby championship last weekend, it relied heavily on county girls to provide the last line of defence. The team’s captain, Kierstyn Bennett, typically filled the sweeper position, one that allowed her to field kicks and roam freely across the field to make plays. Interestingly, her backup for the position, Victoria Armstrong is someone that Bennett has known for a long time. They both live in Wellington and went to the same school, though Armstrong is a year younger. “It’s amazing how sport can bring you close to someone you’ve known that long,” said Bennett. “We were pretty buddy-buddy at the tournament.” Armstrong and Bennett roomed together during their time in London for the Ontario under-18 championship and they also frequently sat together on bus rides as well. Though Armstrong knew as a younger player, she’d have a tough time playing the same position as Bennett because her team would want its captain on the field in crucial situations, she said she also was able to learn a lot from Bennett — one of four returning players. “She was one of the reasons I felt so comfortable on
COunty COnnECtiOn Kierstyn Bennett, left, and Victoria Armstrong were part of an Eastern Ontario Rugby Union under-18 women’s team that captured silver medals in London among a field of teams from across Ontario.

the team,” Armstrong said. “As captain, she was close to the coach and was able to give us a lot of insight.” The Eastern Ontario effort started in May, much later than last year when Bennett said she initially tried out for the team in January and had fitness evaluations leading up to the spring. As as result of the late start and a ruling that players could choose either sevens or traditional 15s to play at the provincial level, Eastern On-
tario scrambled to pull teams together and did not have th e girls for two teams as it did in the past. At at time, Bennett had already learned from coach Suzanne Chaulk that she would be leading the team, so she diligently went to work trying to foster a comfortable environment for the many first-year sevens players. “I just wanted to make sure the team came before me,” she said. “I wanted to make sure I was a calming influence in
chaotic situations and I wanted to make sure I was there for the girls.” Armstrong admitted that while she had played club rugby for the Belleville Bulldogs and emerged as a leader for her Moira high school team, she was a bit nervous about making the cut to represent the region. She had rugby savvy, however, and she had speed. Those were the key ingredients Chaulk wanted to build Eastern Ontario with, particu-
larly knowing that most other teams in the tournament were months ahead in preparation. “We tried to take what we learned last year and bring it to a new group of girls, “said Bennett. “We had the motto that you had to be fast and you had to have speed. We could teach sevens. They picked up the game fast.” From May to August, the team had several weekend sessions to train and bond together with trust. With nine of 14 players coming from the
Belleville area, most of the team functions were here with players from the Kingston and Ottawa areas joining their teammates for workouts and for exercises like playing the game Cranium designed to speed up the learning process. When camp broke and th e team headed for London’s St. George’s Club, Bennett felt the team had a bit more physical strength than her team last year, which grabbed fifth place at the Ontario Summer Games. They tried to use it in the start of competition, but found it wasn’t quite the strategy the team needed in order to succeed and medal. Bennett explained in Game 1 against Toronto 2, her team tried to play crash rugby instead of looking for space. Ultimately, Eastern Ontario lost that bout 20-15. In four preliminary games that day, the team finished with a 2-2 record and the girls came to a realization. “We felt that we could show people that our team could do something,” said Armstrong. In those four games, she pointed out, Eastern Ontario lost by slim margins — a try here, a convert there — and they really weren’t outclassed by the opposition. Sometimes it would come down to a costly knock-on or forward pass at an inopportune time. “We focused on the fact that we wanted to win,” said Bennett. While that might have meant less playing time for some girls and a bit of a shift in approach, the underdogs agreed they’d play to come home with gold medals.

Wellington qualifies for provincial play in Etobicoke
Rookie Lynx capture regional title JasOn parks
Staff writer
The Wellington Rookie Select Lynx flew into Bowmanville for this past weekend on the wings of an undefeated regular season and left little doubt who the best young baseballers were in Eastern Ontario. The locals chewed up and spit out the competition at the Eastern Ontario Rookie Select tournament, running the table on foes from Kingston, Pickering and the host Bowmanville squad to punch their ticket to the Southern Ontario Baseball Association provincial championships in Etobicoke at the end of
the month. The club clobbered the host Bowmanville-Newcastle entry in the finals 20-3, setting off an emotional celebration that featured the players aged 7-9 mobbing each other on the infield. The game was a microcosm of the club's season in which they out hit and out fielded opposing clubs. “It's really our awesome defence that sets us apart from the other teams,” coach Adam Smith said. “Our hitting got better and better as we progressed but we only committed six errors in four games. The kids are fundamentally sound in the field and that keeps the scores down for
the opposing team.” Rounding out the preliminary games, Wellington topped Kingston 6-2, Bowmanville 14-3 and Pickering 11-5 to gain a birth into the finals. As pitching can tax young arms, Rookie level ball in Ontario uses an automatic pitching machine from 42 feet and is set at 40 miles per hour. In terms of the Ontario championships, Smith has little knowledge of the teams the club will be facing. “We know they'll all be good so we will be prepared but just to make it to this level is quite an accomplishment,” he added.
EastErn OntariO Champs The Wellington Rookie Select Lynx were win-
ners at the EOBA Rookie Select Tournament in Bowmanville on Sunday. The club has qualified for the Southern Ontario Finals later this month in Etobicoke.. (Submitted photo)

Parks Tournament signals end of soccer season Chris Weir named top coach as more than 800 players finish on the pitch Jason Parks
Staff writer
Another season of soccer in Prince Edward County boiled down to the annual Gary Parks Tournament this past weekend with over 800 young soccer players taking part at the Johnson Street field soccer complex. Prince Edward County Soccer Association president Pam McRae said the season came to close nicely as the tournament provided a high note for everyone involved in the organization. “Overall we had another incredible year,” said McRae. “With thanks to our sponsors, and the dedication from all of our coaches, and parents – we could not have done it without them. Our tournament weekend was incredible! Mother Nature kept the sun shining on us both days, with a nice breeze.” In addition to wrapping up the soccer season, the tournament also serves as
the stage to honour PECSA's top coach. Chris Weir, coach of the Under-9 County Club was deemed as the association's top skipper in 2013 and took home the Scott Wentworth Award which is named after the longtime PECSA executive and founding member. “The process for the nominations comes from the parents of all of the coaches,” McRae explained. “They submit a letter to PECSA nominating their coach, and then three PECSA executives and Scott Wentworth observe the coaches in action and Scott then picks the winner with our support.” The overall tournament winners of each age group include:Timbit- Yellow, U7Picton Clinic, U9-West Lake Willows, U11-Pretsell Cavanaugh in shootout, U13Loch Sloy Holdings in a shootout, U16-Ivan B. Wallace, U19-Town & Country video.
Barring a monumental upset of epic proportions, Whitepine Watershed will cruise to their second Prince Edward County Men's Fastball Regular Season Championship next week. While Roblin's Family Plumbing currently leads the circuit with 24 points (10-4-4), the Snakes finished off their portion of the regular season schedule Tuesday night with a victory via forfeit over Tweed. With a record of 10-3-3 and a road game against the Tweed Midgets this Thursday evening, Whitepine should leapfrog the Snakes for good. If the unthinkable should happen, Whitepine still has another opportunity to win the regular season title when they make up a rain out game against the Warren's Excavating Ameliasburgh A's next week although that would be a tougher route. While the Beatty Seeds Huskers won't win the league, they are keeping their eyes on second place. The Huskers picked up a pair of crucial wins this week to put their mark at 11-6-0 (22 points). Dan Wallwork was brilliant in back-to-back starts Monday and Tuesday as the Huskers bested Danford Contracting 5-1 in Frankford and a night later blanked the A's 9-0 in Picton. In his shutout, Wallwork allowed only one base hit through five innings. Chad Camp helped the Beatty Seeds offence explode for six runs in the third inning with a two run

single. In Frankford on Tuesday, Whitepine got past Danford (11-6-0) 6-5, setting up a crucial match up tonight in Picton where the Frankford club will hook up with Beatty's with a share of second place on the line. Rounding out the rest of the league, the A's (7-8-1, 15 points) have clinched fifth spot while the Terra Vista
Rockies (4-10-3, 11 points) are firmly in sixth. The Tweed Midgets (016-1, 1 point) are league's cellar dwellers. League playoffs start next Thursday in Picton and it will be double barrel action as both diamonds will be in use for double headers. The league will be going with a double elimination tournament style draw
where the first overall team will get a bye into the second round of the winners bracket. The rest of the clubs will face off in a 2 vs 7, 3 vs 6, 4 vs 5 bracket where the winners move on and the losing clubs play in a losers bracket. More details on the seedings and schedule will be available in next week's Picton Gazette.
Eagles nearing final stretch of SOSA campaign
The PECSA Geodynamics U12 Eagles took it on the chin Tuesday evening against powerhouse Kingston United but the local first-year rep club looks in fine shape as the Southeast Ontario Soccer Association regular season winds down. The 10-2 loss at the hand of the Kingston United juggernaut (who has outscored the competition this season 73-9 in 12 games) notwithstanding, the local club has made a fine showing of its self this season compiling a 3-5-3 record with four games remaining including a home game against the Quinte West Wolverines tonight at the Johnson Street field at 6:30 p.m. Another bright note for the club has been the play of striker Joey Monroe who has nine goals this season and is currently fifth in league scoring. Rounding out the scoring Tuesday in the lopsided loss, Gabe Goad and Jack MacCool each responded for the Eagles.

Peewee Lynx take on EOBA competition
The Wellington Peewee Lynx tried something new this year as they competed in the Eastern Ontario Baseball Assocation’s select league for the first time. Against teams from as far away as Pickering, Peterborough, and Kingston, the Lynx club, which consisted of both peewee house league teams put up a record of nine wins and three losses.
Last weekend, the Lynx traveled to Bowmanville to take part in the league playdown competition. On Friday, the Lynx topped Ajax in a tight game 8-7 and then they promptly dismissed the host Bowmanville team the next morning by a 12-2 margin. That afternoon, however, the Lynx tasted defeat at the hands of Oshawa in a quar-
terfinal game and did not make the semifinals due to the defensive runs per inning ration qualifier. The Lynx and their coaches were thankful for the efforts undertaken by their parents and their sponsors for making it possible to compete at a different level this year. -Staff

In loving memory of a dear husband who passed away August 16th, 2011. If I could visit heaven, Even for a moment Maybe for a moment The pain would go away I’d put my arms around you And Whisper words so true, That living life without you Is the hardest thing to do. No matter how I spend my days No matter what I do, No morning dawns or evening falls, When I don’t think of you. No farewell words were spoken, No time to say good bye You were gone before I knew it, And only God knows why. My heart still aches in sadness And secret tears still flow What it meant to lose you No one will ever know. Forever missed and never forgotten. Julie Grace

OBITUARY
Garage/Yard Sale Guide Lyle Byers HAGERMAN Hagerman Farms, Picton
Lyle was born in the heat of tomato-picking season, on August 20, 1928, at the family farm west of Picton. He was the son of Merrill and Jean (nee Wright) Hagerman, both of United Empire Loyalist lineage. He and his older sister, Hilda (Cyril Hillard) and younger brother, Colin (Lois Calnan) were the third generation on the farm purchased in 1905. Lyle attended Waring’s Corners School, adjacent to the farm. He left high school at age 15 to drive a milk delivery truck for Calnan’s Dairy. Later he attended Kemptville Agricultural College, after which he returned to the farm to work with his father, milking Holstein cattle and raising field crops such as tomatoes and pumpkins for the local canning factories. He saw the transition from horses to tractors. At the tender age of 21 he joined the Masonic Lodge; he was initiated into Prince Edward Lodge #18 on December 15, 1949. He joined Prince Edward Chapter #31 on November 19, 1951. In January 1961, he became First Principal (President) and in 1968 he served a one-year term as Grand Superintendent of Prince Edward District, earning the title of Right Excellent Companion. He remained active in the organization throughout his lifetime, and in 2011 he accepted his 60-year member’s pin and his 50-year past First Principal pin. Throughout the 1950’s, he was an active member of Junior Farmers. It was there that he made a number of lifelong friends and met his wife, Irene Walters of Bloomfield. They were married on January 15, 1955 at her parents’ home (now Angeline’s) in Bloomfield. For their honeymoon, they drove to Florida and stopped at every soft ice cream shop on the way there and back. Upon their return, they built the Dari-Dip in front of the farmhouse. It was the first soft ice cream shop in the area, and offered cones, shakes, sundaes and home-made pies. Around 1970, when Highway 33 was rebuilt, the business was relocated to a new building on the south side of the road and expanded to include burgers, fries, chicken and other hot food. Lyle and Irene operated this successful summer business for 35 years until they sold it in 1986. In addition to the farm and the DariDip, in the 1960s Lyle also started an annual seasonal Christmas tree business. He traveled north and cut the trees by hand. During these busy years, Lyle and Irene raised a family: Anne, Peter (Heather Hyatt), Mary (late David Pekary) and Paul (Marlene Hitchon). Lyle always went deer-hunting with his father in the fall. He took winter ice fishing vacations at Aylen Lake and Haliburton, and enjoyed Ski-dooing with the neighbours. He played countless hands of euchre and cribbage. He loved dogs, and almost always had a cocker spaniel or collie. As a young man, Lyle had joined Picton United Church; after he was married, he transferred his membership to Bloomfield United Church. He was a lifelong supporter and generously donated a lot of vegetables to a lot of church suppers and food drives. He sang the hymns in a soft tenor voice. In 1963, Lyle was a charter member of the AOTS men’s club at Bloomfield United Church. He served as president of the club for two years, in 1976 and 1977. The annual August fish fry fundraiser was his idea – he usually donated most of the vegetables and supplied coin change for the event. He was a tireless, hard-working member. In the mid-1970’s, the AOTS men’s club became the sponsor of Bloomfield Scouting Group, and through it Lyle joined Scouts Canada. He served on the Group Committee for over 20 years and worked on countless paper drives before the days of municipal recycling. When the Scouts needed a place to hold a Camporee, he bush-hogged a former cattle pasture to create a beautiful private campsite surrounded by woods, back the lane at the farm. Lyle and Irene volunteered at the 1989 Canadian Jamboree in Charlottetown and at the 1993 Canadian Jamboree in Kananaskis. They also offered their services at the 1995 Newfoundland Provincial Jamboree in Gros Morne. Each time, they drove the truck and slept in the camper on the back. Lyle loved to travel, especially driving holidays. He and Irene traveled to every Canadian province plus the Yukon Territory, and several American states including Montana, Colorado and Arizona. They rode the train across Canada to Prince Rupert BC and cruised through the Rideau Canal and the Panama Canal, to Alaska and to several Caribbean islands. They visited Majorca (Spain), Italy, Australia and Tasmania. In September 1978, Lyle and Irene purchased a cottage on Grindstone Lake near Plevna, and Lyle started the ongoing tradition of an annual cottageowners’ corn roast, for which he generously picked, husked and cooked his own legendary sweet corn. In October 1982, Lyle and Irene “retired” from the farm to Bloomfield, but Lyle continued to drive to the farm every day for milking, driving tractor and other chores. He worked hard all his life and found it very difficult to slow down. In 2005, Lyle celebrated two milestone anniversaries – 50 years of marriage and 100 years on the family farm – with a huge farm open-house and a pig roast back the lane. He had purchased the neighbouring Yarwood farm in 1964, and over the years expanded further to the east with the purchase of the Waring farm and to the west with the purchases of the Latchford, Huff and Chapman farms. He oversaw the steady growth of the vegetable stand business and the eventual sale of the small milking herd in April 2012. He loved to visit with friends and customers at the vegetable stand while peeling onions for sale; he was very outgoing. Although a humble man, he was proud to have his two sons take over the farming operation and happy to see his great-grandchildren as the 6th generation at the farm. Lyle died peacefully at home in the early morning of July 19th, 2013 at the age of 84, during a heat wave. He is survived by his wife of 58 ½ years and their four children, as well as his sister. He is also survived by grand-children Chris Caley (Nicole Godfrey), Sarah Caley, Jody (Pete Lavender), Joe, Jennifer (Darius McCaw), Madeline Pekary, James Pekary and Jennifer Hitchon. His great-grandchildren are: Destiney Godfrey, Ethan Caley, Alex Lavender, Jack Lavender and Lyla Lavender. A long life, truly well-lived.

classics Clockwise from top left, Kyle Cornall and Shawn Cowan kick up some mud during the annual potato race on Saturday. Troy Irvine of Picton had visitors green with envy with his clean and shiny 1957 Chevrolet Belair. The lineup of more than 200 classic cars gave visitors a lot to view including these two Chevrolet Impalas. Waupoos resident Carl Markland showed off his 1949 Ford half ton while this modified Ford Model A turned some heads. (Chad Ibbotson/Gazette staff)
Big plans for 40th meet next season
CLASSICS, from page 1
He said the show wouldn't have been such a success without the support of all the businesses who pitched in this year and continue to pitch in every year. Stephen Wilson was displaying his 1940 Dodge twodoor coupe which he purchased three years ago and said it was his first time participating in the show. Wilson's ride was for sale, but he said he was initially attracted to the car because of the craftsmanship that went into building it. “The originality and the beautiful shape of the body. I just liked that vintage look,� he said. Waupoos resident Carl Markland said when he first got his hands on his 1949 Ford half ton, it was “a piece of junk.� The vehicle was far from it as it sat of display Saturday afternoon. Markland said he put close to $20,000 into restoring the truck. “It's all original, the old flathead and everything is still in her,� he said. He said the truck caught his eyes because it reminded him of his youth. “When I was young I used to buy them for $50 and drive them for two or three years,� Markland laughed. He said he has participated in the event for the past five or six years and enjoys both the cars and the personalities. “I love it,� he said. While there were some new events and a great turnout this year, Morton said the auto club has big plans for the 40th annual street meet next year.

As they look ahead to a counter-appeal hearing in divisional court, the Prince Edward County Field Naturalists will be in Shire Hall this morning to update councillors on the group's status following a successful appeal of the Ostrander Point wind project. A letter from Prince Edward County Field Naturalists (PECFN) vice-president Myrna Wood to be circulated at today's committeeof-the-whole meeting says it's been six months since the group last spoke to council. The last discussion took place in the weeks leading up to the group's successful appeal to the Environmental Review Tribunal (ERT). “Our reason for taking the difficult stand to appeal a Ministry of Environment (MOE) approval was our conviction that destruction of the important habitat at Ostrander Point would adversely affect the environment and ecology of the south shore of Prince Edward County,” the letter says. The letter says that while the tribunal decision mainly focuses on Blanding's turtles, “the overall picture that was conveyed was that Ostrander Point is not an appropriate location for an industrial wind project.” “We believe this is the first time in Canada that an approved permit has been revoked on environmental grounds,” the letter says. “The outcome of the hearing protects one of Ontario’s truly special places and opens the door for the
importance of environmental protection to be recognized at sites across the country.” Wood goes on to say in her letter that an informal poll of accommodation businesses points to the importance of the south shore in bringing tourists to Prince Edward County. “Prince Edward Point is becoming known to birders around North America as the place to see warblers in the spring and northern saw whet owls in the fall,” the letter says. With both the MOE and Gilead Power counter-appealing, Wood says in the letter that PECFN remains dedicated to keeping turbines away from the site. The appeals must be based on errors in the application of law. While PECFN continues to face the challenge of covering the legal costs of their appeal, Gilead is seeking to recoup their costs from the field natural with their counter-appeal, the letter says. “(PECFN) are grateful for council’s support in principle, however, we are a small group and we are naturalists — not fundraisers,” the letter says. “Raising the funds for the appeal has been a challenge. We are, however, humbled by the generosity of our almost 500 donors. The Ostrander Point Appeal Fund has reached nearly $84,000.” The letter says as much as 60 per cent of donations come from county residents and as much as 15 per cent has come from repeat donors.
Eastern Ontario squad picks up play in playoff competition
SEVENS, from page 21
On Day 2, Eastern Ontario would face the second-place Toronto 1 team given their own third-place finish. They didn’t play the game like an underdog, however. Toronto pushed early, but Eastern Ontario held its own and refused to break down in the first half. Ultimately, they came on later and took advantage of breaks during the second half to win 10-0. “It took a while, in the first half we were down in our end and had to fight to get it back,” said Bennett. Armstrong added the Toronto team seemed to lose their morale as the game wore on, allowing her team to steam ahead to victory. The next day, however, Toronto 2 seemed to be on a mission to win and the Eastern Ontario squad also had some problems with the clock in their final outing. On the last day, the halves were longer than in previous games and the players reported their team couldn’t manage to get its substitutions in sync to get maximum benefit from fresh legs. While they had energy early, Eastern Ontario managed to battle back their foes and trail just 5-0 at the half. Later in the game, the score opened up and Toronto ultimately took home the title with a 17-0 score. The finish was surprising for Eastern Ontario as Bennett noted they’d played the Toronto team in their first
game and felt they could have won a 20-15 setback. “Something changed in their game,” she said. “They definitely wanted it, they played their game and they set the tempo. We spent more time playing their game than we spent playing ours.” Bennett finished with three tries in the tournament and Armstrong nearly had one, but unselfishly passed off to a teammate at the goal line Ultimately, both said they were pleased they were able to help lift their team into a medal position. Now, each of the girls will return to their respective club and high school teams to continue with 15s play. Still, they say their future is likely in the speedy sevens game. Armstrong is eligible to return for another year at the under-18 level where she hopes to take on a leadership role with the team as Bennett did this year. There is also the possibility of an Ontario sevens team spot for the first time next season. As for Barrett, she plans to continue working with Chaulk in the high-performance program with an eye toward future national and Olympic berths. Fifteens definitely appears to be the afterthought for both girls. “With the Olympics, sevens is going places,” said Armstrong. Added Bennett: “Sevens is the future. It’s more evasive running, the scores are usually higher, and a game can change in just 15 seconds.”

— Horoscopes—
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Now is a great time to explore new culinary horizons, Aries. You just may find a new type of cuisine that you never would have anticipated liking. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, if you feel like there haven't been too many opportunities to socialize with friends, host your own gathering of friends and family. Start planning now. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, sometimes forgetting responsibilities and acting like a child for a day can be good for the spirit. Take a mental health day and don't let worries get you down for a few hours. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, make travel plans before the summer passes you by. There has never been a better time to get out for a road trip or book a weekend jaunt to somewhere special. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, it can be difficult to upstage you, but someone else steps into the spotlight at work and it has you reeling for a little while. Be the bigger person and offer congrats. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you might be ultra careful when choosing friends, but keep in mind those closest to you have been there through thick and thin. Remember that this week.
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, despite the many changes you have made, you still don't feel completely satisfied. You can't put your finger on what is off, but you will get to it eventually. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you have heard the saying that you catch more flies with honey. Be prepared to lay the honey on especially thick this week. Have fun with it. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, it's hard to smile when you are feeling upset. This is not the week to let your true feelings show, though. Get through your obligations first. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Carpricorn, if you have been thinking about getting active to shed a few pounds, then try something fun like playing a sport. Exercise doesn't have to mean time in the gym. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Certain aspects of your life are a work in progress, Aquarius. Other things you have under control. This week, focus on the things that may be holding you back. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, while creative pursuits tickle your fancy this week, some more mundane tasks require your immediate attention.

Can you prepare your home for a flood? Many Ontarians live on floodplains or close to lakes, rivers and creeks. Despite the obvious benefits of living close to bodies of water the risk of being impacted by flooding can be a serious concern. In Canada, flood insurance isn’t available to home owners. Certain water damage may be covered by homeowner policies, including sewer backup and burst pipes but overland flooding is not covered. According to Phil Dorner, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association, while a flood can happen anywhere it rains, home
buyers should assess flood risks in the area they plan to buy – including reviewing floodplain maps and speaking to the municipality about the risk and history of flooding in the area. To Dorner, “Home buyers need to carry out due diligence before purchasing a home and part of this is looking at the whole picture. Speak to your Realtor about your concerns and carefully review any and all risk factors – including flooding.” The Ontario Real Estate Association offers the following tips to reduce the chances of flood damage to your home, courtesy of
the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver: • Access material about flood reduction from your local municipality; contact your municipality to find out where sand and bags are available should a flood occur. • Walk around your home after a heavy rainfall to see where water is pooling. If water flows toward the home, seek professional advice about directing water away from the home. • Clean gutters and downspouts. • Make sure your home’s drain tiles work. The basement may flood if tiles are old or

plugged and need replacing. • Flood proof the basement or ground floor, which involves sealing the foundation. • Install backflow valves on basement floor drains, washing machine drains, toilets and sink drains. • Locate the storm sewer on the road. If it’s plugged with leaves, phone the local municipal public works department and they will clean it. • Buy a sump pump and make sure it’s ready to be used if needed during heavy rain storms. “Whether you are a home buyer or a
homeowner, understanding the risks associated with a prospective or current home is the first step in protecting yourself from any number of risk factors,” says Dorner. “When considering purchasing a home, speak to your Realtor about the area and any potential risks that you need to know about. From there, do your due diligence and use your municipality’s resources to help you along.” The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources keeps an up-to-date information page regarding local and provincial flooding, www.mnr.gov.on.ca
