she said, adding some think of characters as superheroes then become even more excited to learn they can do some of the tricks. Indeed, she said, in most cases the audiences make the show more rewarding.
“We’re really lucky. We get to go around doing what we love before people who really appreciate it.” Even Georgopoulos said she sort of stumbled upon circus after she retired from competitive gymnastics. She had
planned on going into kinesiology, but a friend approached her to take a trapeze class. Once she tried circus and got a chance to perform she never went back.

A special council meeting to finalize the council size consultation procedure featured an ironic twist as five councillors left the meeting in protest to comments from a fellow councillor, leaving nine councillors and the mayor to complete the agenda. Ameliasburgh councillors Dianne O'Brien, Janice Maynard, and Roy Pennell, along with Athol councillor Jamie Forrester and North Marysburgh councillor David Harrison marched out of the meeting promptly following comments from Wellington councillor Jim Dunlop. The comments followed multiple failed amendments from Maynard. Maynard said she wasn't happy with the order of the proposals laid out in the public surveys. Staff had listed the options in an ascending order, beginning with the fewest councillors and working up to the status quo. Maynard proposed these be randomized instead, but a amendment to do as much lost by a significant margin. Maynard then proposed an amendment to alter the
JIM DUNLOP
wording of the status quo option which said “no change.” Maynard said she'd like to see the “no change” wording removed from the status quo option as it could have a negative connotation. This amendment also lost by a significant margin. Later, Maynard indicated a background of the council size issue going back to 2008 to be included on the public consultation meeting agenda was misleading and suggested altering the wording. The recap says “an OMB hearing was held and subsequently led” to the question being included on the 2010 municipal election ballot.

Tricks order of the day at Jack Taylor Park Those putting their heads down for even a minute at Jack Taylor Park in Hillier Saturday afternoon missed seeing something unusual and spectacular. For the second consecutive Park Day, the circus rolled into the tiny hamlet and brought with it a host of crazy characters adept at a host of creative talents. Those watching carefully might have observed a man juggling fire while balancing on a unicycle, another chap dunking basketballs on stilts, or a woman hanging high in the blue sky, suspended by her feet tied together by flimsy silk. When it comes to the circus, “there’s something for every child,” said Jen Georgopoulos, that woman who held herself up by the silks and spun her body around in unimaginable ways. Georgopoulos, a performer with the Zero Gravity Circus, says she and her colleagues love the idea of travelling to present their shows as many people of all ages really haven’t had a chance to experience circus and find the wonder in their performances. “It’s awesome to see the kids’ faces as they watch,”

Step one of insulating the local community radio station from power failure is complete. Technicians were busy this week installing a propanefired generator at the 99.3 County FM studio on Cold Storage Road. The move is the first step in making the radio station immune to power outages and keeping it online and broadcasting during emergencies such as the ice storm of 2013 or the blackout of 2004. “The generator can run for up to three days on one large tank of propane according to 99.3 County FM general manager Deb Simpson. “Hopefully we would never need more than three days but we are very close to a filling station,� Simpson said with a laugh. The propane is supplied by the neighbouring County Farm Centre. The funds for the studio generator purchase and installation was raised though a radiothon held in May where volunteers accepted over $20,000, surpassing the station's goal of $15,000. Step two of the process to keep the station on air in the event of a power outage will include a second generator at

Glenwood Cemetery honours original Kate’s memory with lasting tribute Donated stone monument to slain swan goose unveiled as part of historic site’s Appreciation Day recognition ceremony Sunday afternoon ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER
With more than 15,000 people buried within its gates, the Glenwood Cemetery has hosted many memorial services over the years. One staged Sunday was both similar and different. There was both joy and sadness that afternoon as 75 people gathered near Shadow Pond just down from the Ferguson Street entrance. They joined together not to remember a person, but to mark the life and death of an animal that had come to personify the refuge that is Glenwood. At the unveiling of a stone monument to immortalize Asiatic swan goose Kate, cemetarian Helma Oonk spoke about the tragic day in March, when gunshots were heard at Glenwood, and the events that occurred in the days following the incident. "We were all very shocked, all of Picton was shocked. We made the newspaper big," said Oonk. "Those kids made a mistake, they didn't know what they were doing — so let's not talk about the past, let's carry on with what we have now‌ a new Kate, and William is very thrilled with her. I think they are madly in love. I hope it will last a few years." While Kate's death ulti-
mately led to a feel-good story as officials at Napanee's Sandy Pines Wildlife Refuge helped connect Glenwood officials with Carol Ladouceur, the owner of a female goose who had recently also lost its mate, the shooting left a profound sadness for many. Alana Carpenter happened to be in the cemetery moments after the shooting. She knew something wasn't right almost immediately. "I was here about 15-20 minutes after. I saw William in hysterics, flapping his wings in the water," she said. "It was very sad and I just wanted to do something. I felt helpless." The next day, Carpenter called Oonk and talked about her experience. She suggested she wanted to raise money to build a monument to the slain goose. Carpenter created a GoFundMe web site to solicit donations and she held yard sales, levying some of her belongings and those of her children Kivic and Ava to bring in money. Thus far, her efforts have brought in $100. The idea, however, was one that took hold and it garnered support from others. "I got in touch with Campbell's (Monuments) and we said, 'let's do something,'" recalled Oonk. Soon, Campbell Monu-
ETCHED IN STONE Campbell Monuments president Gary Foster (second from right) speaks about
the monument his company donated to Glenwood for Asiatic swan goose Kate who was tragically killed this spring as, from left, Alana Carpenter, Kivc Carpenter, Glenwood chair Sandy Latchford, and cemetery manager Helma Oonk listen during Sunday’s unveiling. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)
ments manager Gary Foster was able to donate a stone and the cemetery was able to put aside man hours to help with its installation and a foundation to root it upon. Foster said the media and social media coverage of the event struck him. "When I took a phone call about a goose that had gone down in action, I didn't know quite how to respond but the depth of feeling in the community is quite a delight," he said. "I came to think why there is such a
powerful feeling evoked by a goose killed in an innocent position. It's about unity and perpetual marital harmony. They mate for life, they're there forever. We're here to record that." Campbell Monuments artist Mark Bannister took a photograph supplied by Glenwood volunteers and stencil carved a likeness of William and Kate — who were named after the British royal couple — into the light stone. The words "Thanks for the memories Kate" were

also engraved. Carpenter was thrilled with the display, stating "It's gorgeous, better than I expected." Alice and David Braidford, volunteers from Adolphustown who have been crossing the Glenora ferry almost daily for several years to care for the geese were also touched by the ceremony. Alice indicated the shooting had bee hard to deal with, but the response was moving. "It's a wonderful
moment. When they did the unveiling today, all the memories came flooding back," she said. "It wasn't just a goose that was shot, it was a huge outpouring of love that followed." William and the new Kate also seemed to show their approval, honking loudly as the presentation started, then swimming around the pond together as the stone was unveiled. At the ceremony, Glenwood chair Sandy Latchford also offered gratitude to the OPP for the job they did in investigating the incident and for the work that followed. Latchford noted Glenwood now has an alarm system to protect its 63 acres and police response is almost immediate. A uniformed OPP officer was on hand to celebrate, alongside volunteers who now patrol the grounds regularly. Latchford also noted Glenwood will be doing some work on Shadow Pond in the near future to restore its shoreline, which has been collapsing in recent years. The ceremony was part of Appreciation Day at the cemetery, which also featured historical lectures and walking tours with Peter Lockyer, a photographic tour with Phil Norton, music by Luke Norton, and a chance for guests to view historic burial records.

With the oldest community per capita in Ontario, it's a piece of good news for Prince Edward County that there will be more senior spaces coming next spring. An official groundbreaking for a $3-million, 25,000 square-foot expansion was held Wednesday at the Manor on Loyalist Parkway (MLP) just west of Picton. With residents, family members, staff and municipal officials on hand, MLP owner Anik Jivanjee said this very special day was weeks, months and years in the making. The expansion will more than double the footprint of

the full-service facility to 47,000 square feet. The expansion is designed to add 30 rooms to the current complement as well as other amenities and services. “It's a product that's going to be very different,” Jivanjee told the crowd of about 30 just prior to officially breaking ground. The owner explained the expansion was 'state-of-theart' and it was hoped the amenitites would not only help those living at MLP but those in the commnity as well. “There will be a hydrotherapy pool for physiotherapy, a fitness centre, a home theatre, a bistro and a

With the closure of Picton Manor back in 2012, local old aged homes and retirement residences have been operating at or near capacity and Quaiff said it was great to see the gap between those in need and available spaces start to be bridged. “It's people like Anik who are building the future of Prince Edward County,” Quaiff said. “The shortfall of senior spaces in Prince Edward County is being addressed and Anik, you and whoever else is connected with this expansion should be commended.”

Mayor Robert Quaiff was pleased to see another large scale commercial project underway and mentioned 2015 has been a very busy year locally. “Out most recent stats from the planning department show 438 permits issued for about $48 million worth of construction.

COMMENTARY Province, municipality need to solve infrastructure issue
MAYOR Robert Quaiff took his case about the condition of County roads on the road this week as he met with Ontario’s transportation minister Steven Del Duca about the detriment of service reductions at the Glenora ferry crossing and about the impact tourist traffic is having on local roads. His technique — showing a video of the cement passage on County Rd. 49 from the Skyway Bridge to Picton produced by local videographer Michael Brethour, which he shared on the web site www.countylive.ca — should prove to be an effective approach as there is no making up the litany of bumps and pot holes shown on film and there’s no way for provincial representatives to state they aren’t familiar with the road when presented with that evidence. That said, it would be surprising to see Quaiff actually receive the results he is working toward because there’s simply not enough money for roadwork, many municipalities have long lists of projects to do, and perhaps paramount at this time, mass transit woes in the Greater Toronto Area appear higher on the agenda. Though the material construction of County Rd. 49 make it an extreme case — just as the recently-funded Rednersville Road was an urgent project because of the base beneath it — it isn’t the only road in this municipality that is in need of work and the County itself only has the budget to do so much. It is also worth noting that the redirected traffic from the ferry crossing on County Rd. 49 this summer is not the only development causing more wear and tear on local highways. Sandbanks Provincial Park welcomes more than 600,000 people per year and there’s a good bet that number has risen recently as other tourism industries here have grown — the wine sector is emerging, new arts trails and tours are becoming more prevalent, and more trendy restaurants have opened their doors — attracting more publicity from the likes of Time magazine and other national and international media. It’s no surprise the beach and the county figure prominently in provincial tourism advertising. Also, the beach re-
mains a cost-effective option for a family looking for summer fun in a sluggish economy where many communities in eastern Ontario no longer have community pools for cooling. The question that Quaiff, Del Duca, and other representatives must consider is how to allow the county to benefit from that increased traffic to continue to provide an experience and desired economic spin-offs. Some have suggested a tourism tax, much like those in place in Ottawa and Niagara Falls — neither of which has suffered from an additional percentage added to goods and services. In those communities, those fees are optional and can be removed upon request. That’s a good thing for local residents, but we feel careful consideration must be taken to ensure such a plan would not burden businesses as we suspect the nature of business in the county is much more of the mom-and-pop or cottage variety than the big cities who have such a tax. If it becomes a costly headache to collect and transfer the money — and it would likely cost the County or province to process these payments, too — and to refund it, it may put a damper on it. Toll systems have also been suggested, but they also may pose problems because they can be perceived as unwelcoming to visitors and offensive to local residents. There’s also the question of logistics — how, how much, and what does it cost to implement. The best solution along those lines might be to charge a direct $1 or $2 on park entry. While its said the people pay admission to their own provincial parks, the cost is expected and it is unlikely the nominal amount is going to turn visitors away. The calculation would be simple and the transfer would be easy with just the province and the municipality involved. Whatever the system, it is clear that Ontario recognizes Prince Edward County as a tourist destination. It’s now time for the province to come to the table with municipal officials and find creative ways to sustain the infrastructure.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR County not responsible for misfortune Wind turbines would have
In response to the writer of last week’s letter (Overzealous marine officer ruins couple’s county vacation)... Being a lifelong county resident, I took great offence to your misdirected frustration with your recent misadventures on your vacation in this beautiful county. First of all, if you have had a negative encounter with our county’s finest, the OPP, then you should be taking up your concerns with the OPP or the Ontario Police Commission. If you feel you have experienced an injustice, Prince Edward County has nothing to do with your situation. Having lived here all my life, I have never had a bad experience with local law enforcement. I attribute that to being a law-abiding citizen and treating everyone with respect and expecting the same in return. Have I had a brush with local law enforcement? Yes. Did I ever get a fine? Yes (speeding). Was I upset at the time? Yes, but I didn’t strike out at everyone including this fine county that I live in. I took my lumps. If you want to lay blame on anyone, look at yourself. I
am assuming you didn’t tow the boat down here from your home; it probably came with the cottage rental. If so, the renter should have made sure the life jackets weren’t outdated, and bottom line: maybe you should have checked the expiry date yourself. In regard to this “overzealous, rude, arrogant, and condescending” OPP officer — in my experience, usually if you are co-operative and polite, they do the same in return. Judging by your attitude in your letter to the editor, I can only imagine what took place between you and the officer when you realized you were being fined for an outdated PFD. The law is the law — take your lumps and move on. As for you and your husband feeling your vacation has been ruined by Prince Edward County and you will never return and have told 200 people and so on and so on — well, I guess that’s it! You have completely ruined Prince Edward County’s reputation as a wonderful place to vacation. I suppose because of your misdirected frustration, we might as well
roll up the sidewalks and shut down the bridges because we are done. I don’t think so. People will read your letter and see it for what it was: two disgruntled vacationers who had the unfortunate experience of receiving a fine from our fine local law enforcement who keep this county safe for residents and vacationers alike. Prince Edward County is a beautiful place to live and to visit. There is plenty to offer for everyone. I am quite sure the recommendation to the 200 people you told not to come here will fall on deaf ears. The bottom line is if you want to lay blame on anyone, take a look in the mirror. Perhaps when calmer heads prevail and you realize Prince Edward County had nothing to do with your unfortunate situation, you will return to this beautiful place. If you decide not to return, it will be your loss. You and your 200 friends will be replaced by 200-plus other people who will be more than happy to enjoy the county for all it has to offer.
positive impact on the county
I am 21 years old and was born and raised in Prince Edward County. My plans are to live in the county for the rest of my life. My county is where I want my future to be. I am 100 per cent in favour of wind turbines and these are my reasons why. I want green energy to be part of my future. I know that wind turbines bring money to farmers, local people and therefore to all the business people that we do business with. It will bring jobs into the county when they are built and when they need maintaining. I think wind turbines are less intrusive than the 600,000 people who visit my county. I think the county should return to an agricultural-based economy and wind turbines and green energy fit into that. I’m tired of hearing all the negativity toward the wind turbines. They are the way of the future and it is my future that we are talking about. The wind mills may not be the complete solution to the world’s energy/power problems, but I feel they are a good start. I hear people say that real estate values will drop. Well if
that happens, I am all in favour of it! I think it would be a good thing as then young people will be able to afford to buy homes here and be able to afford living here. I think it’s what the county needs and it is what I want, after all, it is my future I am thinking about. (Very selfish of me isn’t it!) I want young people like me to be able to stay and live in my county. My generation and those coming after me are the county’s future. These opinions may offend some people, but I felt someone should voice these concerns. My young friends and I talk about these issues, but few have bothered to put their thoughts into print. People like me who work hard every day don’t always have the time to write letters like this so that’s why I am finally sending in my two cents worth. Let’s leave our county rural and listen to the people who have lived here their entire lives. They are the ones who have made the county such a wonderful place to grow up and live in.
Having read the letter to the editor regarding the couple fined for having expired PFDs, I refer you to the Small Vessel Regulations (SOR 2010-91 Subpart 5, paddleboats, watercycles, sealed hull sit on top kayaks. Paragraph 220: Every person must wear a PFD of the appropriate size. It is required to carry: A. sound signally device (whistle), B. a flashlight if Valerie Massey operated after dark and
before sunrise. PFDs and lifejackets have no expiry date. My Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary-issued PFD has no expiry date. What was the OPP constable doing issuing a ticket for $240 for which there was no infraction. Am I missing something here?

Local police officers deserve a standing ovation Something’s missing in story I read a letter to the editor in at fundraising events in communities and wateryour Aug. 13 publication from a visiting couple that due to an unfortunate event experienced on a recent visit have vowed to never return. Although the sarcastic nature in which it was written does not warrant a response, the mere attempt to place any shade upon the fine individuals that make up our local OPP certainly does. I have had the honour to meet several OPP officers
which they shaved their heads to raise funds for cancer research, ride their bikes through the county to raise funds for children with cancer, or on a more personal level, assist us in raising funds to send local deserving children to a camp experience of a lifetime. Not to mention that they risk their lives to ensure our safety every time they put on their uniforms, protecting our
ways. I have witnessed search, rescue and recovery missions conducted by the brave men and women of our local OPP, Wellington Search and Rescue, and CFB Trenton. Their dedication was remarkable. I applaud your efforts, and thank you for your service. On second thought, make that a standing ovation.

Partnership brings improv comedy classes to County’s libraries
The County Public Library in partnership with Comedy Country is pleased to offer improv workshops at three library branches on August 27, 29 and 29, 2015. What is improv? Improv is a comedy performance style where the actors make it up on the spot. It’s great fun to watch and perform, but improv is also a life skill. The basics of improvisational comedy – listening, team work, acceptance and heightening – have been used around the world as tools for building confidence, creating community, fostering creativity, teaching literacy, and training people in the world of business. “Improv truly is for everyone!” says Julianne Snepsts, producer with the Toronto Comedy Sketch Festival. She and the Toronto based festival’s executive director and producer, Paul Snepsts, are the brains behind Comedy Country: “big laughs in rural places”. This is a special project of the Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival, a non-profit, charitable organization dedicated to promoting and supporting
INSIDE THE LIBRARY Christine Renaud
Canadian comedic talent. Join performers from Comedy Country at one of the two-hour improvisation workshops being offered and get ready to learn the basics of improv from some of Canada’s finest teachers. Have fun, laugh lots, and try something new in a supportive environment. These workshops are perfect for people with little to no improv experience, with one
workshop designated specifically for youth ages 8-15. The first workshop, on Thursday, Aug. 27 at 11 a.m. at the Picton branch library, is aimed at adults but suitable for anyone 15 years or older. The instructor will be Connor Thompson, alumni of the Second City Toronto main stage, where he wrote and performed in three shows, including the Dora-nominated Sixteen Scandals, the Canadian Comedy Award-nominated We Can Be Heroes, and the recent hit Rebel Without A Cosmos. As the male half of sketch-duo Lusty Mannequins, he has performed in comedy festivals from Montreal to Milwaukee. Connor is a faculty member at the Second City Training Centre in Toronto, and in June he traveled to England for the first time to teach and perform at the Slapdash Improv festival. Last September, he was named one of NOW Magazine’s top 10 artists to watch. On Friday, Aug. 28 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., join instructor Diana Francis at the Consecon branch library. Diana Frances is relatively new to Ontario and is excited to see
any area outside of Toronto. She has been nominated for seven Canadian Comedy Awards for ‘Best Female Improviser’ and has entertained Canadian soldiers in Bosnia, Egypt, Israel and Afghanistan. Francis has written for The Hour (CBC TV), This Hour Has 22 Minutes (CBC TV) The Irrelevant Show (CBC Radio) The Debaters (CBC Radio) and teaches sketch comedy writing at The Second City. She is also an alumni of The Vancouver TheatreSports League and tours with Rock Paper Scissors and the all-female improv group, Leave it to Cleavage. She will be instructing an adult class suitable for anyone 15 years of age or older. Lastly, on Saturday, Aug. 29 from noon until 2 p.m. youth 8-15 can take part in the improv workshop at the Wellington branch library taught by Nug Nahrgang. Nug Nahrgang has been seen in many commercials and films such as Men With Brooms, The Tuxedo, and Owning Mahowney. He’s also been on TV with roles on Dark Rising: Warrior of Worlds, The
Ron James Show, and as Coach Schneider on Life With Boys (YTV). He has worked with Second City in the Canadian National Touring Company, at corporate events, and on Norwegian Cruise Lines. He appeared in two successful runs as Harry in Night of the Living Dead Live, and most recently in a hit run of Cannibal! The Musical. Winner of three Canadian Comedy Awards, he also produces the improvised comedy podcast Illusionoid (FREE on iTunes!) which was named as one of the top 10 live comedy shows in Toronto in 2012 by NOW Magazine. He currently improvises with Bad Dog Theatre, Illusionoid, and with Nigel Downer as “N2N”. The Comedy Classes, Aug. 27 at the Picton branch, Augt 28 in Consecon and Aug. 29 at the Wellington library, are being offered on a pay-what-youcan basis in support of the festival. Preregistration for the workshops is required as space is limited. E-mail crenaud@peclibrary.org or call 613-476-5962 to register.

East Lake appears to be in good shape. That's one of the important facts conveyed by Quinte Conservation general manager Terry Murphy as he presented the East Lake and Watershed Stewardship Plan to committee of the whole last week. Councillors ultimately
voted to refer the plan to the municipality's official plan process. Funded through an Ontario Trillium Foundation grant of $69,100, $40,000 through Cottage Advisors of Canada, and $9,350 through the Prince Edward/Lennox and Addington Community Futures Development Corporation, the plan's purpose is to maintain and strength-

en the natural features of East Lake and its watershed. The steering committee that guided the plan was comprised of French Planning Services, Quinte Conservation, the municipality's planning department, and the Friends of East Lake (FOEL). “The purpose of the study wasn't to stop development, it wasn't to come up with any miracle solutions, it was to — first of all — look at the lake and say what is the state of the lake,” said Murphy. The result was both a state-of-the-lake report and the stewardship plan. Murphy said the findings were positive. “The key thing you should know about this is the end conclusion was that East Lake is in really good shape,” said Murphy. “Environmentally it's got everything you'd expect to see in a lake that size and that depth.” He said the stewardship plan focuses on keeping the lake in that shape. “The one recommendation in our report is that we continue to monitor annually to make sure we aren't going backwards,” he said. “Quinte Conservation will try to do our best to get out to the lake at least once a year to do sampling.” Murphy said extensive public consultation was conducted including all major

stakeholders around the lake including farmers, residents, and business owners. He said their comments guided the report. Murphy said the stewardship report is mostly about encouraging people to do what they can to protect the lake. “The recommendations are everything from naturalizing shorelines — there are still people who have lawns that are manicured right to the water and that's not good for any lake,” he said. “Naturalizing doesn't have to be wild and trees so you can't see the water, but establishing root systems to protect the water.” He said it's also recommended people who live in the watershed inspect their septic systems to ensure they're in good shape. Murphy said the plan can be an important tool for the municipality that can be used as a reference guide for future development around East Lake. He said it can also serve as a model for other water bodies. “We're hoping this document will be used as a base for other lakes, not only in the county, but throughout our watershed,” he said. Councillor Jamie Forrester thanked all who helped create the plan, saying it's a valuable resource for today and for the future. “I know, as a resort operator, we spend now a lot more time educating our boaters and people who come in, just how we like them to behave when they're on the lake,” he said. Overall, the plan includes 58 recommended actions to be used by residents, the municipality, and Quinte Conservation to protect the watershed moving forward. The East Lake watershed has a drainage area of about 68 square kilometres including the 12-square-kilometre lake.

County prepares to break ground on new Picton fire and ambulance station TaskForce receives tender with lowest of 13 bids entered CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER
Ground-breaking for a new fire and paramedic services facility in Picton could happen soon. At last week's committeeof-the-whole meeting councillors voted to award the tender for the construction of the new facility at 8 McDonald Drive to TaskForce Engineering in the amount of $3,554,470 plus HST. The esti-
mated total cost of the 1,609square-metre (17,319-squarefoot) building is $4,446,534 including the cost of project management, consultants, and building permits. The majority of the cost would be financed through long-term debt. If approved by council at their Aug. 25 meeting a ground-breaking ceremony will be held at the site on Sept. 9. The new building would replace the current Picton and Heights stations. Councillor Barry Turpin said he was happy to see the project moving on.
“It's great to see this moving forward,” he said. “After seeing the Consecon fire station and what was done up there, I think this is going to be a welcome addition.” Councillor Bill Roberts agreed. “I'm very, very supportive of moving forward,” he said. “It'll be great to have a fire station where the fire trucks fit and where the fire station is up to fire code.” Mayor Robert Quaiff said the project has been in the works since 2010 and he acknowledged the hard work of the master fire committee, county staff, and the
fire chief. “Hopefully we'll get this thing up and going and it'll be something we're proud of,” he said. Corporate services and finance commissioner Susan Turnbull said staff didn't anticipate the significant response the project received during the tender process, saying the municipality received 13 bids ranging from TaskForce's lowest bid of $3,554,470 to the highest bid of $4,534,000. She the result is a very competitive price. “The cost of construction for this facility is coming in
at $3 per square foot less than the Consecon hall despite the fact that it is a much more complex building,” she said. The total project cost appears even more favourable. The Consecon station was completed with a total cost of $1,755,103 or $284 per square foot while the new Picton station is projecting to be completed for about $257 per square foot. The new facility could also see a decrease in operating costs. A report presented to councillors at last week's meeting says a comprehensive review of the fire fleet
was undertaken concurrently with the station location study. It says the new facility will allow for a consolidation and redistribution of fire equipment resulting in a reduction of one pumper truck that the municipality will no longer have to plan to replace. “Preparing for this replacement will no longer be needed reducing the annual contribution to the fire equipment reserve by $26,000,” the report says. If approved the project would have a tentative completion date of summer 2016.

Grape Gatsby raises thousands for hospital foundation 1920s theme proves popular at Wellington Rotary’s wine party ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER
Those visiting the Highline Hall Saturday could see the pages of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s most famous novel brought to life. Flappers, legitimate businessmen, and other members of the unwashed masses turned up for a lavish party that could only be the work of Gatsby. The Rotary Club of Wellington borrowed from the novel to create The Grape Gatsby, a new twist on a a wine-tasting event it started last year in partnership with the Prince Edward County Winegrowers Association. Unlike the nefarious Jack Gatsby, however, their intentions were honourable — club treasurer Lana Whitteker said althouigh calculations are ongoing, the auctions likely brought in over $8,000 with

explained Lana Whitteker. “Last year, the money went to the Millennium Trail, this year it will go to the hospital.” For $85, visitors had a chance to try varieties from seven participating county wineries paired with local cheeses and enjoy a fourcourse meal prepared by Michael Hoy. They also had a chance to bid on 45 silent auction items and five live auction packages, ranging from tickets to an Ottawa Senators game, a kayak from Clear Water Designs, a two-night stay in San Diego, a one-week stay at the Deerhurst Skyline Resort, or a week for two at Chateau Canet in Languedoc, France. Whitteker said the silent auction, which event co-chair Trudi Brown did “an unbelievable job” getting prizes donated exceeded all expectations and the live auction also
went really well. The latter more than $1,7000 in reserve bids alone. “I don’t think there were any items that didn’t go,” she said. Whitteker added the committee’s idea to introduce the 1920s theme was a hit as more people showed up in costumes than even the organizers anticipated. Classic cars parked outside the hall were also a popular addition. The committee was chaired by Barry Davidson. Sharon Campbell handled decorations, David Smith and Cliff DeLeon were in charge of tickets and promotions, and Art Sinclair arranged the food. Though more than 80 people attended, Whitteker said the club is still searching for ways to push attendance over 100 and make the night an even bigger success in future years.

A performance two years in the making about events that gripped this community 132 years ago opens tonight at Macaulay Heritage Park. Krista Dalby’s creation Unjustly combines shadow puppetry with live performance to tell the story of the shooting death of Peter Lazier, the investigation and trial that followed, and the hanging deaths of George Thomset and Joseph Lowder, men historians still believe could be innocent of the crime. “The play is undeniably dark, but it’s an important story from our community,” Dalby said. “It reveals a turning point in our history as these were the last hangings to take place in the county. It’s more than a sensational crime drama; the play explores the
themes of social accountability and the role we all play in maintaining a fair and just society.” Actors Joan McBride and Guy Doucette offer narration, while Festival Players Young Company performers support with puppetry under the guidance of professional puppeteer Andrew Young. Craig Morrison was the designer for the Shadow of a Doubt Collective performance. The show runs today through Sunday and Aug. 2730. A walking tour to the jail and gallows is offered following the show, thanks to Prince Edward County museums. Tickets are $15 plus HST, available at the Festival Players’ box office, 613-476-1991. -Staff

Jenkins opens Picton campaign office Candidate touts history of Conservative representation and investment in region ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER
Conservative Jodie Jenkins was the first Bay of Quinte candidate to formally open his Picton office for the campaign leading up to the Oct. 19 federal election. Supporters crammed closely together in a room decorated with Jenkins' tshirts, photos, campaign signs, and press clippings at 66 Main Street to hear their candidate speak for about five minutes. Flanked by former provincial Progressive Conservative parliamentarians Gary Fox, James Taylor, and Bud Gregory, Jenkins touted a tradition of Conservative representation in the area. "We have a rich tradition here in Prince Edward County and beyond of having people who advocate for what we need and what we desire. I'm hoping and believing that we're going to continue on with that," he said. "One of the main reasons I'm running is to keep that tradition going." Jenkins lauded the Conservative members Daryl Kramp and Rick Norlock who represented Bay of Quinte's predecessor ridings in the most recent sitting of the House of Commons and reminded supporters of their record in securing investments in the area. "We've seen what Daryl Kramp has done. The Essroc Arena, the Picton wastewater treatment plant, and the recent announcement about Rednersville Road — and many more with investments through the CFDC at PELA," he said. "This area has received more than its fair share of investments." Jenkins added that Norlock has been able to secure funding for work on the Trent-Severyn Waterway that he said have benefitted the entire region. "The economic spinoffs and tourism go far beyond
the Murray Canal or the waterway itself. We feel that in the Bay of Quinte and beyond," he said, adding his belief the Bay of Quinte area could develop into the new Muskoka of the south. The candidate also reiterated his plan is to bring his constituents' wishes to Parliament Hill. "It's not about bringing Ottawa's voice down here, it's about bringing our voices up to Ottawa." Jenkins also celebrated news that Canada was named the sixth freest country in the world in a study compiled by a network of think-tanks, including the Fraser Institute in Vancouver. It topped G7 and G20 countries in the matrix. "I don't think it's any coincidence that is under the leadership of Stephen Harper." As for his own approach, Jenkins happily reminded guests he'd grown up in Ameliasburgh and attended Kente Public School. His mother worked at Community Care also. "I have a very fond memory of the county, we live in Belleville now, and most of my employment has been in Quinte West, so I believe we have the best approach for this new riding." That said, Jenkins reminded supporters there's a long way to go yet and neither he, his wife Shauna, or their dedicated campaign team can win the vote on their own. "I know everyone here is working hard. We need all hands on deck," he said. "If you have a friend or family member who shares our values, believes in what we’re doing, encourage them to come out, encourage them to knock on a door, encourage them to take a sign, a donation or a phone call. We can use it all." Jenkins' Liberal rival Neil Ellis will open his Picton office tonight at 124 Main Street at 6:30 p.m.

Vanclief revives traditional corn roast at behest of Ellis campaign team Former agriculture minister concerned about democracy ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER
After a dozen years, former MP Lyle Vanclief opened his yard to share some ears. Each summer during his time as a federal political, the former agriculture minister from Ameliasburgh welcomed his constituents to his farm for a corn roast. This Sunday, with the urging of current federal Liberal candidate Neil Ellis and his campaign team, he revived the tradition. Loads of Hagerman's corn were piled near the roasters and volunteers eagerly helped Lyle and his wife Sharon dish out the buttery bounty to all comers once again. "We had 15 corn roasts over my term, 13 were here, the first two were down the road at a friend's place. It's

kind of bringing back memories. The last one was 2003. When they asked if we'd host another one, we said sure, "Vanclief said. One of the more memorable corn roasts occurred in 1996 when former prime minister Jean Chretien visited.
More than 3,000 people crammed onto the lawn to hear him speak. In those days, the corn roasts were largely non-partisan. Vanclief said he held the events as a way to engage his constituents and thank them for supporting him.
"I don't know if they came for me, but they came for the free corn," he joked. Though this year's roast was again a no-charge event with an open invitation to all comers, there was a Liberal flavour to the event. Ellis gave a brief speech and there was

some organizing taking place at the Victoria Road gathering that attracted between 150-200 people in blistering heat. "It was basically to thank the volunteers and to thank Lyle," Ellis said of his speech. "Lyle has been a real motivator, not just for myself, but for the volunteers. I thanked everyone for helping and said though it's a long campaign, we're determined to get there. A lot of volunteers signed up and we went through a lot of signs today also."
With a campaign that has been going since February, Ellis said his team felt it necessary to show their backers they are appreciated and that the campaign is picking up steam. Vanclief indicated he'd like to see the riding swing red again with the former Belleville mayor, touting him as an incredible, hardworking candidate, but added there are no guarantees. "There's no such thing as a given going into an election and every candidate works hard," he said. Vanclief said while he hears the talk every time Canadians go to the polls that the coming election is the most important in years, he believes this one is crucially important regardless of political ideology. "I think this election is (important) because of some of the things that have been happening in the leadership of the country," he said. "Even if I could say it in a non-partisan way, I think there's a lot of disappointment in the deterioration in democracy. I don't like to see the way things have been handled."

Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters continues crusade against cormorants Council encouraged to support reintroduction of population controls CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER
Council will be considering the impact of cormorants following a request from the Ontario federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH) and last week. OFAH manager of fish and wildlife services Matt deMille spoke at Thursday's commit-
tee-of-the-whole meeting, asking council to consider supporting a call for better control of cormorants in Ontario. He was speaking on behalf of both the OFAH and the Ontario Commercial Fisheries' Association. The committee voted to refer the request to council's Aug. 25 meeting for consideration.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cormorants are a big issue in Ontario and we're looking for better control of cormorants,â&#x20AC;? said deMille. He proposed reintroducing cormorant population control methods such as culling and egg oiling as well as removing â&#x20AC;&#x153;unnecessaryâ&#x20AC;? protection of the double-crested cormorant under the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act. There are 30 species of cormorants worldwide, the double-crested cormorant being the most common in North America. The fish-eating migratory bird nests in colonies and is native to Ontario, but not to southern Ontario, said deMille. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In their history, they weren't native to this area,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know that there have been cormorants in the Lake of the Woods area in northwestern Ontario for centuries really, but it wasn't until the early 1900s that they started to move towards Lake Superior and then they had a southeasterly movement down to this area.â&#x20AC;? He said that all happened prior to the 1950s. The populations then began to decline â&#x20AC;&#x201D; something deMille attributed to the presence of chemicals like DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane). In the 1980s, however, those numbers began to rise again and cormorant populations have remained near an all-time high, deMille said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The numbers just exploded in Ontario,â&#x20AC;? he said.

He said 13 of the 24 colonies of cormorants on the Canadian side of Lake Ontario are within 100 kilometres of Prince Edward County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's really a hub of activity for cormorants in the eastern part of the central basin and the eastern part of Lake Ontario going into the St. Lawrence,â&#x20AC;? he said.

that come with high populations of the birds, deMille said. One of the major concerns being the birds' ecological impact. He said cormorants break branches and strip foliage to build nests, resulting in a loss of canopy cover. He said their guano also kills trees and other vegetation at breeding and roosting sites. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In a lot of cases it continues to get worse until there's no vegetation left,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It destroys entire ecosystems and some of those ecosystems â&#x20AC;&#x201D; particularly in the great lakes in this area â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they're threatened island ecosystems, they're relatively rare ecosystems.â&#x20AC;? He cited the case of West Brothers Island south of Amherstview where the birds all but stripped the island of vegetation in six years
in CHERRY
VALLEY
between 1998 and 2004. The birds' consumption of fish is also a concern, deMille said. He cited 2007 Environment Canada data from the Kingston basin in saying that each adult bird consumes about 169 pounds of fish per 169-day period. He said the entire cormorant population in that area would consume about 1,147 tons per season based on that data. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is an argument that people use to say we should just let nature take its course,â&#x20AC;? deMille said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But when we look at all these other factors and all these other species involved, this isn't just about one species, it's about entire ecosystems and I don't think we want to stand by as ecosystems are destroyed because we don't want to control the numbers of one species population.â&#x20AC;? Councillor Treat Hull said he's seen the effect of cormorant colonies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's mind-boggling to be honest,â&#x20AC;? he said. He said he doesn't imagine there would be room for almost any other life form after the cormorants move in. However, Hull said he had mixed feelings about population control. Councillor Bill Roberts was also apprehensive about the practice. He cited a CTV News report in saying that of the 30,000 islands around the Great Lakes there are only 260 that are populated by cormorants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That's a pretty small percentage,â&#x20AC;? he said. Environment Canada itself doesn't see a correlation between the rise in cormorant populations and declines in commercial and sport fishing. A summary of the doublecrested cormorant included on the Environment Canada website says â&#x20AC;&#x153;despite their increasing populations, there is little quantitative evidence that cormorants are adversely affecting sport or commercial fisheries.â&#x20AC;?

Highest ticket sales in 15 years, greater inclusion of younger musicians seen as positives
Creative director likes sound of jazz festival feedback ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER
The 15th Prince Edward County Jazz Festival wrapped up over the weekend and several associated numbers are music to creative director Brian Barlow’s ears. “It was fantastic. I’m hearing from so many people by email, phone, and on the street that this was a our best year yet,” Barlow said. “We haven’t finalized all of the numbers but it looks like we sold the most tickets we’ve ever sold to date. There were many events sold out.” Besides the appeal of the week-long showcase of the improvisational genre, Barlow was also encouraged to think about the demographics of the performers making the trek to Prince Edward County. He said the festival is succeeding in providing a venue for young artists to perform. “I think there’s maybe a misconception that this is music for more mature audiences. It wasn’t that way at this festival. The average age of performer here was 41 and that’s pretty good considering we had some elder statesmen of jazz who are into their 80s performing,” Barlow said.
MAKING MUSIC Well-known vibraphone player Frank Wright

He indicated as part of the anniversary this year, the festival made a conscientious effort to bring back Rising Young Stars from past years. Drummer Ian Wright, of Belleville, was the original featured youth at the festival — he first played at the event at age 13 — and tenor saxophonist Eli Bennett, of Vancouver,
was recognized in 2010. They played together in a show on Thursday. Last year’s winner, Marika Galea, headlined a well-received Billie Holiday tribute show Saturday. Those are just three examples of talented artists who started at the festival and are now working as professional musicians as each of the Ris-
ing Young Stars are. That has to be encouraging news for this year’s selection, trumpeter Brad Eaton, who is studying jazz performance at the University of Toronto. “We didn’t want to use them in a way that they were a novelty,” said Barlow. “They’re all professional, working musicians and they did their own shows like any musician.” While providing that stage for emerging talents, Barlow conceded that some of his favourite moments from the 40-plus offerings this year were appearances by a pair of tried-and-true jazz musicians. “It’s always wonderful to have Oliver Jones appearing. His concerts are so well received with so much energy and enthusiasm,” Barlow said. “Frank Wright joined us Sunday and he gets a better reaction than almost anybody who has stepped onto that Regent Theatre stage. He’s one of the all-time great Canadian vibraphone players. Frank comes across as a very classy gentleman, then he stands behind the vibraphone and is just on fire. He excused warmth.”

After-hours jam sessions allow audiences to see musicians in different light JAZZ, from page 15
Though the festival has also grown to the point where Barlow canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get around to all the satellite venues as he once did, he was encouraged by soldout shows throughout the county. He recalled visiting Huff Estates Saturday to see two bands and he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t
find a seat or a parking space there. That exposure to some of the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wineries, restaurants, and attractions is part of the allure of the festival. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have large numbers of people coming just to see the jazz festival.They come from Kingston, Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal to see the jazz, but while theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here, they
experience everything that makes the county great. First, we have to get them here and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing that,â&#x20AC;? he said. Another highlight of this year was increased attendance at the after-hours jam sessions. Barlow said those have proven to be a real treat for musicians and their audiences alike.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so great to see all of the musicians here show up and play,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You see them on the main stage, but then you get to see them a little more up-close-and-personal later.â&#x20AC;? He added the musicians also offer positive reviews for the event. In a retrospective year when many musicians
were returning visitors, he said it was nice to see newcomers like Vancouver-based jazz instructor Jodi Proznick enjoy their experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When they have high praise for the festival, it makes all the hard work worthwhile,â&#x20AC;? he said. Barlow said planning has begun for 2016 and festival
organizers are looking to stick with what works â&#x20AC;&#x201D; remaining true to jazz and ensuring that the jazz presented is worth listening to. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do pride ourselves on quality,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know what is happening at each of those 40-plus venues and we know that it is quality and it is jazz.â&#x20AC;?

Milford to host jamboree next week Health unit could move Picton office
Local talent featured at inaugural country event Aug. 28-30

An event tabbed as the first country music festival of its kind to take place in Prince Edward County will take place in Milford next weekend. Millpond Music and Entertainment are presenting the inaugural Prince Edward County Country Jamboree at the Milford Fairgrounds Aug. 28-30 with several locally renowned artists including Jamie Stever, Jamie Pounder, Dean Austin, Becky Elliot and Instant Rivalry. The jamboree features rough camping on the fairgrounds and all three days are packed with some of the best local talent that has appeared on national and international stages. Organizer Greg Verner explained Millpond has been hosting similar jamborees in nearby Napanee but it was time to try and provide a venue and event to showcase the local country artists and acts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's been a long time organizing and getting all the pieces in place but the weekend is almost here and we are really excited to bring this event to the County,â&#x20AC;? he explained. A Nashville recording artist, Stever is a county native who loves to preform locally when he's not in Music City. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A huge thanks to him because when we started this festival, we wanted to attract the best local artists and one phone call to him and he said 'Absolutely. I'm in' so it's wonderful to have him in the lineup,â&#x20AC;? Verner added. While he would like to see the event grow, Verner is careful to aspire to become a nationally known festival with scores of international acts like the Havelock Jamboree. With regards to the Napanee Country Jamboree, it's about as big as we

Verner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will be a ceremony involving the families as well as a tribute session.â&#x20AC;? With the camping portion almost sold out, weekend passes and single day passes will be for sale at the gate.

want it,â&#x20AC;? He said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With big scale events, there comes a lot of problems that come with that.â&#x20AC;? Verner said there are regular Jamboree goers who attend shows like this every weekend across Ontario and come for the fun, community feel and the love of the music. The event kicks off Friday Aug. 28 when the gates open at 11 a.m. Later that day at 2 p.m., four local artists will be inducted into the Prince Edward County Country Music Hall of Fame. Willie Walker, Billy Ostrander, John Bongard and George 'Yogi' Whattam
The Picton office of Hastings Prince Edward Public Health (HPEPH) could be on the move. Rumours abound that the office on King street could be relocated to a smaller office unit at the Prince Edward Family Health Team (PEFHT) medical clinic at the PEC Innovation Centre. Monday, HPEPH communications officer Jennifer Shea confirmed the organization was looking at leaving the current space at the foot of the King and Centre streets because the location didn't suit the current needs of the organization. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are looking at relocating, our current lease at the King Street office is expiring at the end of the year (Dec. 31, 2015),â&#x20AC;? Shea told the Gazette. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are finding the space is too large and expensive for our needs today so we are looking at a space that's more appropriate.â&#x20AC;? Currently, the satellite office in Picton is part of the regional public health organization that's mostly housed at its new head office facility at North Park Street in Belleville. The Picton office, which has housed the Health Unit since 1986 and is just under 5,600 square feet in size, is open Monday to Friday and staffs a pair of public health inspectors as well as various nurses and clerical staff.
Water testing, immunization updates, travel clinics, sexual health clinics, needle exchanges and tick collection are some of the many services offered at the King Street site. Shea said the line up of services currently offered will not change if or when the office is relocated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;None of the services that we offer are going to change, we are still going to offer the clinics and services that we have been offering, but we are looking at a different space,â&#x20AC;? Shea said.
Shea did mention, however, the staffing level at a relocated office may change although it's is too early in the process to make those determinations. Among the list of potential landing spaces that would fit the desires of HPEPH is a space where the PEFHT is located. Shea also confirmed that there has been some discussion between the two organizations about the idea of co-location.

Junior A team opens camp at Essroc Arena
Dukes start exhibition play Sunday JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER
It's likely the shortest training camp in recent memory for the Wellington Dukes. Prospective Dukes will have just one day to impress team brass in intersquad scrimmages as the club will host its first tune up game Sunday when the Cobourg Cougars visit for a 2 p.m. tilt at the Essroc Arena. It's a departure from the standard modus operandi for the local Junior A hockey club as in years past the team has held a full, two-day scrimmage session before paring down in numbers. Then, Dukes coach and general manager Marty Abrams and his staff would examine players through the week at practice, making further cuts before hosting a rookie game against a nearby rival. The team will also be starting its regular season with the rest of the Ontario Junior Hockey League. In years past, Wellington and a handful of other teams were allowed to take part in the Woodchuck Cup showcase event in South Burlington Vermont, playing a number of U.S.-based Junior A clubs in front of a number of NCAA and pro scouts. The league did away with that opportunity this season and all teams will have played a regular season game by the second weekend of September. Sunday’s game marks the first of five preseason contests for the Dukes. On Monday, the club will head to Cobourg for the second half of the home-and-home series, a 7 p.m. start. On Friday, Dukes fans will get a rare glimpse at the Pembroke Lumber Kings when they visit Essroc Arena for a 7:30 p.m. game. The Dukes then travel to Trenton Saturday for a 7:30 p.m. tilt with the rival Golden Hawks before closing the exhibition portion of their season Aug. 30 in Pembroke. The regular season begins Sept. 4 in Trenton.

Pickleball proving to be a smash hit in Waupoos Smaller courts, lower range of movement part of the appeal of racquet sport ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER
With paddles in hand and smiles on their faces, the members of one of North Marysburgh's hottest social organizations stand their ground in the morning sun and prepare to initiate a new recruit. In recent weeks, there's been some chatter in the county's easternmost ward about the strange activities taking place on the tennis courts outside the North Marysburgh Hall and how the activities have been drawing curious onlookers in increasing numbers Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Visitors step into the court not really knowing what to expect and quickly find themselves in a pickle ball game with instructors who are more than willing to let them in on the secret. "We have a sign out that everyone is welcome," said Doug Snider, one of the people responsible for bringing the fast-growing sport to his community. "When you're playing, you realize you can play it. Young, old, male,
female, it doesn't matter. It's really catching on." Snider and his wife Ellen visited Florida with their friends last winter. He said he regularly heard the clunking of whiffle balls hitting paddles and decided to see what all the fuss was about. "They're very active down there. They had three or four courts going almost every day all day." Initially, he saw a bunch of seniors hitting the balls around and he didn't think it'd be much of a challenge. Once he stepped on the court, he realized he could have a lot of fun and others could too. One of the players he faced even had a prosthetic limb — and he was excellent. Snider thought it would be a great idea to bring the sport back to the county. "These tennis courts hardly ever get used, so we thought why not make it available for pickleball? We got ahold of the County and with a little discussion, they arranged to paint the lines," he said. Two courts with blue lines were overlaid on top of the white lines of the tennis court and the ward's recreation

department bought a supply of paddles, which look like oversized ping pong implements and a net. A second net has been ordered to keep up with the demand. Among the couples who regularly turn up to play are Heather and Doug Mottram, who had played pickleball regularly in Florida. They take pleasure in teaching the rules and history of the sport with others. While leading a "dinking" exercise with another player — essentially volleying short

shots back and forth quickly — Doug Mottram explained pickle-ball was invented in 1965 in Washington State by U.S. Congressman Joel Pritchard and a couple friends to entertain their bored children when they couldn't find a shuttlecock to play badminton. He added they used a badminton court and lowered the net to the ground. They handed the children a whiffle ball. Over the years, the game has taken on aspects of badminton, tennis, volleyball, and
table tennis. Mottram said there are several theories about where the game got its peculiar name. One suggests it was named after the inventor's dog, but Joan Pritchard was quoted in a West Virginia newspaper stating the dog was actually named later after the game. She said it came from a rowing term, referring to a boat made of leftover rowers. The recreational variety of the game played most often in Waupoos is similar to doubles tennis with players lining up in teams of two and playing games to 11 points. Only the serving team can gain points. There's also an area in the forecourt called the kitchen where players must allow a ball to bounce before they can enter and return it. On some days, there have been 15 or 16 people waiting to use a single court. With the quick games and the boundaries that don't require a huge range of motion to play successfully, most have come back again. Snider said he understands pickleball leagues have also started in Wellington and Bath, with an indoor league operating in the winter in Picton. The sport is also in the physical education curriculum at PECI.

Wellington residents hope to save Main Street building Deputation asks committee to delay possible demolition CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER
There appears to be an appetite to save a Wellington Main Street mainstay. At last week's committeeof-the-whole meeting, Wellington residents Pamela Carter and Bill Hurst asked councillors to consider delaying demolition of the recently purchased property at 282/284 Wellington Main Street. The committee voted to refer the deputations to staff for their inclusion in a report to a future meeting following any public consultation sessions held regarding the use of the property. The municipality purchased the property in order to facilitate the Lane Creek diversion project and in July announced plans to hold a charrette-style public consultation process to gather feedback from the public on what to do with the property once the work is complete. No date for the meeting has been set. Carter said she and Hurst
â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This is a centre of Wellington â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no question about it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where people meet and socialize and do business...itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been like that for a very long time.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; BILL HURST RESIDENT
were speaking on behalf of a group of Wellington residents who would like an opportunity to save all or a portion of the building that's been on the corner of Main and Wharf for more than 100 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We've chosen to speak here with the strong belief that a collaborative effort between council and the citizens of Wellington could lead to a win-win scenario for all of us,â&#x20AC;? she said. Last month Carter and other Wellington residents held a town hall meeting attended by over 100 residents where there appeared to be majority support to do something to save the building.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a very healthy pile of signatures on our petition asking that the building be restored or be replaced,â&#x20AC;? she said. Hurst, an architect, said the community understands the remediation of the creek culvert running under the building has to be done. He said the question is how it can be done economically, and without disrupting businesses, while maintaining the current building. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a centre of Wellington â&#x20AC;&#x201D; there's no question about it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's where people meet and socialize and do business and it's been like that for a very long time.â&#x20AC;? He said it may not be necessary to remove the whole building in order to do the work and it could be possible to remove the rear portion of the building while preserving the front facade. Hurst said there's no question money will be an issue, but he said residents would like the opportunity to explore the options. Engineering, development
and works commissioner Robert McAuley said the original staff recommendation was to have the building demolished before the end of September. He said, given the public's comments, staff are willing to push the work into next year to allow for more consultation. However, he said that comes with risks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The risk is both to my permits, my approvals, and whether or not the building will actually be standing in another year overtop of that creek,â&#x20AC;? he told councillors last week. McAuley said in order to get any work done next year, the issue has to be dealt with before this time next year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have to put closure to this issue before the end of July next year,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I do not have closure then I cannot work next year and, again, we throw this whole project farther forward, thereby continuing to incur the risk we currently have â&#x20AC;&#x201D; both to our permits and to the structure itself.â&#x20AC;?

For those who knew Dex, & even for those who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, we have lost a gentleman dog, a dog with charisma and charm. He was always forgiving. Like so many dogs, a dog who loved to please, & pleased to be loved...simply. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all he ever asked of us. He loved his biscuits, but all he really looked for was a pat on the head or a warm hug. Dex has blessed my world, and has such a huge part of my heart, no wonder my heart hurts so much. I will miss him being under foot... in the office, in the van, our walks & squirrel hunts, everything we did together. Funny how a simple creature can be such an amazing influence in your life. When my heart stops hurting so much, I want to remember the amazing dog Dexter was... from the â&#x20AC;&#x153;sad sackâ&#x20AC;? little puppy that came home in the front seat of Dorisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; little Volkswagen, so scared that he threw up 3 times from the IGA parking lot â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;til we got home... how he so humbly introduced himself to the family with then that sad little face of his, never quite knowing how he would win over all of our hearts... how he carried his plastic bucket full of dog biscuits around, offering you the opportunity to give him one out of it, or even to share one with Digby (if he had to)... he even carried it into multiple Santa Claus parades over the years, sharing with all of the canine onlookers there too. He was a proud Hot Diggity Dog, and Dex & I put on thousands of miles travelling Ontario on the flyball circuit, making hundreds of friends, both of us... Dexter was a very social canine, with people & dogs & cats alike. Our walks & jogs, in a vigilant exercise routine that we shared with Debber & Sadie... And letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not forget his unparalleled level of success at the Picton Fair ~ 9 out of 10 years attending, winning â&#x20AC;&#x153;Best Trickâ&#x20AC;?... his first year in 2005, & his last year, 2014, honoured with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Best Dogâ&#x20AC;?, and his name on the BIG TROPHY! But, we already knew what a great dog he was. I had already been asked what he was going to do at the fair this year, & now, how his attendance and performance will be missed. He really did have a following! He was becoming a familiar face at Hallowelll House, entertaining Gramps & so many of the residents. Oh, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;know Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not the only one who will miss Dex. Digby & Beau, Opy &â&#x20AC;&#x2C6;Hugo will always be looking for his lead. And Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure, Dexter, in some amazing way, you will continue to influence & brighten our way. Sleep peacefully me dear friend, you have earned only the best. xox

CARDS OF THANKS
The youth group from Picton United Pentecostal Church would like to thank all those who supported us through our Showered with Flowers, Yard Sale and Bake Sale fundraisers. We raised this money so we could attend North American Youth Congress. This year it was held in in Oklahoma City. Without your help, we wouldn't have been able to make the trip possible. Thank you and God Bless! Picton United Pentecostal Church Youth Department. The family of the late Ralph Margetson would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all of our friends and family who sent us their kind thoughts and prayers, food and flowers at this sad time. Ralph would have appreciated all of your efforts so much and we feel so fortunate to have such good friends and neighbours around us. Thank you from Pearl, Pam, Andy, Ernie, John and the Margetson family.

GALE, Graham
In loving memory of a dear husband and best friend, who left me one year ago, August 19, 2014. When evening shadows are falling And I'm sitting here alone, To my heart there comes a longing Wishing you were here at home. In life I loved you dearly, In death I love you still, For in my heart you hold a place, That no one else can fill. You walk with me down quiet paths, And speak through winds and rain, For the wonderful gift of memory, Gives you back to me again. I hold you close within my heart, And there you will remain, To walk with me through out my life, Until we meet again. Sadly missed and always loved. Nancy.

Graham Gale
In loving memory of a dear father, Papa and GG Papa who passed away August 19, 2014. It never really crossed our minds That one day our paths would part, Over the past year we've found ourselves Dealing with a broken heart. As our father, Papa and GG Papa You never failed to give, And in your firm and steadfast way You taught us how to live. A part of us you took with you But your love you left us to keep, So we will never really be apart The bond between us is too deep.
We never really ask for miracles But today just one would do, To have the front door open wide And see your smiling face walk through.
Sadly missed and always remembered by Kevin, Penny, Amanda, Allen, Kaley, Darren, Natasha, Terry, Braeden, Jack, Avery and Vayda.

God saw him getting tired, a cure was not to be He wrapped him in his loving arms and whispered â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Come with meâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; He suffered much in silence, his spirit did not bend He faced his pain with courage, until the very end He tried so hard to stay with us, but his fight was not in vain God took him to His loving home and freed him from the pain Thinking of you Dad/Papa but that is nothing new we thought about you yesterday and the day before that too weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll think about you tomorrow and as the years come and go weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll think about you forever because we loved you so
Love you forever and ever, Lisa, Terry, Jordan, Devin and Brittany
VanVLACK, Keith. In loving memory of a dear husband, who passed away August 16, 2011. I placed a rose at your grave today, Its been 4 years since you went away, Time goes by fast, but yet so slow, If thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one thing that I know, Your forever missed and never forgotten. Julie

CHANGES IN STORE? Hastings Prince Edward Public Health is considering moving from its King Street site. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)
HPEPH plans to announce any changes HEALTH, from page 17 “There have been discussions with the PEFHT but there's been nothing formalized,” she said. “It would be a good fit considering they are in the business of serving community health care needs as well.” Shea said a relocation of office space in the town of Picton would not be a move that that would need board of health approval and that HPEPH would be making a formal announcement later this year if a relocation at the end of 2015 does take place.

Council appoints Leek, Broadbridge to share council size facilitation duties DISPUTE, from page 1
She said the wording is misleading because it makes it seem as though the question on the ballot was the result of that OMB hearing when council had already decided to put a question on the ballot prior to the hearing. Maynard had indicated more amendments were on the way when Dunlop raised his hand to speak.
Dunlop accused some councillors opposed to changing council structure of â&#x20AC;&#x153;hanging onto their wards.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The people who don't want to have a change in the size of council are tearing apart the proposal that staff have brought to us,â&#x20AC;? said Dunlop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At least one time I'd like to see a councillor from Ameliasburgh vote for something for the benefit of

the municipality as opposed to just their ward.â&#x20AC;? The meeting wrapped up shortly following the commotion and, as councillors reconvened an adjourned committee-of-the-whole meeting from the morning, councillor Bill Roberts asked Dunlop to consider apologizing for the statement. Dunlop admitted his comments came in the heat of the moment and were out of place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I agree, it should have been done in a different forum,â&#x20AC;? he said. O'Brien told the Gazette she believed the mayor should have reprimanded Dunlop immediately and adjourned the meeting until emotions settled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought that was uncalled for,â&#x20AC;? said O'Brien. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We're there to represent the entire county, not just our ward and I believe council should work together to that end.â&#x20AC;?

She said any intimation that Ameliasburgh councillors don't represent and support the entire county is false. O'Brien said Dunlop later reached out by phone to apologize for the comment, which she accepted. Mayor Robert Quaiff spoke with media following the meeting, saying the councillors obviously took exception to comments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We still had a quorum with those that were left and decisions were made and we'll go forward,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unfortunately the comment was made and in the heat of the moment they took exception to the comment and they left the chambers.â&#x20AC;? Quaiff said he has a lot of concern moving forward, considering the discussions seem to be intensifying. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a lot of concerns in taking this to the public and I just hope we're not wasting their time,â&#x20AC;? he said.
He said there are lots of opinions around the issue, but council will ultimately have to make a decision. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are some councillors who are very opinionated on the reduction, they are not in support of it, they don't favour it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the end of the day, after all of our public meetings, when they come back to the horseshoe to vote on it, I'm afraid of what will happen.â&#x20AC;? In the end council approved the online and hard-copy surveys that will be available for residents throughout the month of September. Council also approved Ron Broadbridge and Rob Leek as the mediators who will take turns presenting the approved plans throughout nine public consultation meetings next month. Quaiff said Broadbridge and Leek each have an extensive background in mediation.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;They came highly recommended to us,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding that staff interviewed both. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were impressed with the results and selected the two of them.â&#x20AC;? Also approved was a meeting structure for each of the public consultation sessions along with current and proposed ward structure maps with pros and cons of each plan put forward by the authors of each plan. Public consultation meetings are planned for: Bloomfield Town Hall Sept. 1; Wellington Town Hall Sept. 3; Athol Town Hall Sept. 9; Ameliasburgh Kente School Sept. 10; Hillier Town Hall Sept. 15; Sophiasburgh Town Hall Sept. 21; North Marysburgh Town Hall Sept. 23; Picton Prince Edward Community Centre Sept. 24; and South Marysburgh Town Hall Sept. 30.

Park Day enjoys positive partnership with Zero Gravity Circus CIRCUS, from page 1
BALANCING ACT Ben Burland attempts to juggle fire while balancing on a unicycle Saturday. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)
She’s trained in Montreal with coaches that work with the famed Cirque de Soleil. Ben Burland was that fire juggler who entertained with a series of stunts before succumbing to the chants from some of the younger members to pull out the uniquely. After training with the Circus Academy, which Georgopoulous runs, he’s been touring regularly with his comedic show. “It started as a hobby, something fun,” he said. “Later, it just kind of came to me that it was kind of this or a real job. I leaned toward something more fun and exciting. It’s all about having
fun with the audience.” The circus artists made their connection with Hillier through Zero Gravity owner Eli Chornecki, who has a summer home in the county. He started to meet neighbours, including Cynthia Riordon of the Hillier Recreation Committee and he decided last year that his acts would be a good fit for the Park Day. Riordon said the partnership has been a great one with Chornecki able to cater his shows to fit the needs of the audience and to change them enough to be fresh two years in a row. That prepackaged entertainment also fit the bill for a small committee of six or seven organizers.
“What we were really trying to do is a turn-key thing,” Riordon said. “Hillier Park Day has been going on for a long time. What we aim to do is find things that make it fun, free, and memorable.” She said the hope was to offer exposure to all sorts of forms of creative energy, but the circus connection seemed to really go over well once people realized what it was — hard-working people with interesting and creative talents — and what it was not — a bunch of captive animals. Building on last year’s day, the Circus Academy was able to hold a recent school in Wellington and many of the young stars of that academy
were out to see their role models, including their coaches who also performed in the Alice in Wonderland circus that fit the fairy tale mashup theme nicely. Riordon said in all, there were probably more than 500 people attending, with more than 300 there to watch the first of two circus shows. Throughout the day there was also children’s games, a petting zoo, face painting, balloon animals, circus workshops, and food options provided by the Cherry Valley Lions Club and Black Sheep Cannery. The Storehouse Foodbank and Hope First Baptist Church also provided snacks.
Choosing bulbs for fall planting, spring blooms
Strange to think that our after a relatively cool summer, our hottest period so far is in the second last week in August. My tomatoes appear overjoyed as they ripen at a speed I have not yet seen this summer. Meanwhile, since I do not do as well in the heat as they do, I will move a little more slowly so I can enjoy it without doing myself harm. Hopefully most of you are able to do the same or at least be more active where there is air conditioning. Weeding will just need to wait. Leisurely deadheading is all my garden is going to receive in the cooler early mornings or late afternoons. The garden will look tidier, and those plants that keep flowering when deadheaded will continue to produce new blooms. A question from a novice gardener about bulbs for fall planting and spring blooming increased my interest in looking at not only good recommendations for him, but also in thinking about the areas in my garden are still falling short in that department. There are just so many choices, even for that limited period, when we most need a hit of colourful blooms to compensate for the long winters. The heat provides us with a great excuse to sit quietly looking at bulb catalogues or perusing them on line. A little thought now will make it much easier to choose when bulbs do come into our local nurseries. Some of the earliest blooms range from crocuses to tulips, daffodils and irises. Some of the less well-known spring bulbs are hyacinths, alliums and fritillarias. We all have our favourites among them and certainly my biases will be evident here. My bottom line however has always been to grow what I most enjoy. All choices have their pluses and their drawbacks. Among the bulbs, there are those that keep developing new bulbs and those that decrease or barely hold their own year after year. There are also the squirrel magnets, and squirrels can definitely cause a decrease in bulb numbers over time. They can also redesign the garden, as they like to dig up and rebury bulbs intending to snack on them at a later date. Since they do not appear to have reliable memories, their re-plantings may permanently change the colour scheme in the garden.
ASK A MASTER GARDENER Sandra Goranson
The favourite squirrel spring and fall garden snacks are tulips and crocuses. If you really want these, you can try various ways of protecting them. Bulbs should be buried so that the tops are two-and-ahalf times the length of the bulb below the surface of the soil. Squirrels tend to dig shallow holes. As well squirrels can be deterred by not seeing any recently disturbed soil on the surface, so covering the area with crumbled leaves and/ or mulch can conceal the recent garden work. Finally planting them amongst perennials that are slow to appear in the spring can also protect them from squirrel attention in the fall. The spring growth of the perennials can then obscure the dying leaves of these early spring bloomers. While squirrels actually prefer nuts and other edibles to bulbs, I am not sure whether providing these delicacies would protect your bulbs or just attract more squirrels. Hybrid tulips are some of the more striking spring garden plants with their wide range of colours, bloom and petal shapes, and height. Their only drawback are that the bulbs do not replicate themselves but rather disappear entirely over time unlike Daffodils, for example. This is important in developing plans to replace them. Botanical or species tulips will increase over time so it helps to pay attention to labels so you know which you are purchasing. While they are not invasive they will need to be restrained to the number you want by removing the extras to give away or compost. There are any numbers of bulbs that range from not being appealing to squirrels to poisonous for squirrels. Daffodils and narcissus fall into the latter category and are rarely removed by squirrels. These bulbs do increase in number over time, so they pose a disposal problem. Hybridizations have increased the colour range and shape of the blossoms but certainly not to the extent that hybridized tulips have. I personally love the masses of vivid yellow
daffodils that fill my spring gardens. They survive our windy weather more easily than tulips do. But then I am biased. The bulb irises that bloom in the early spring are also restricted as to colour range but add their own bit of colour, generally purples, blues and whites. Other bulbs, also unappealing to squirrels, to plant for spring are fritiilarias with their striking dangling bell shaped flowers in a variety of colours and even some with a unique checkered pattern. Also there are hyacinths with their vibrant range of colours and lovely scent. Their bloom is cone shaped, about 25 cm tall and covered with tiny tubular blossoms. Finally there are the alliums, ranging from about 25 cm tall to a meter or more. Colours and bloom size and shape are equally diverse. Members of the onion family, they are clearly not of interest to members of the rodent family such as squirrels. Whether you are looking to fill a small area, or for a showstopper of vividly coloured balls atop long stems, there is likely an allium to suit your garden.
