It was a jazzed up week in Prince Edward County. The 14th annual Prince Edward County Jazz Festival played to packed venues spread throughout the municipality as hundreds of fans enjoyed soulful and relaxing notes whether they audibly emanated from a guitar, piano or horn (or sometimes all three). Festival creative director Brian Barlow said the 14th edition was a hit on a pair of levels. “It was a really big success and I mean that in terms of both attendance and artistically as well,” Barlow told the Gazette Tuesday. “We achieved all we wanted to achieve in the artistic department so that really makes me happy when we can accomplish both those goals.” To see how this festival continues to evolve, grow and remain popular, one doesn't have to look any farther than Friday's marquee concert at the Regent Theatre where Lorne Lofsky, David Occhipinti, Rob Piltch and Reg Schwager were united on stage in a tribute concert to the late Jim Hall. The American jazz guitar legend was honoured as four of Canada's best performed his original offerings. “Aside from the fact those four had never played together on the same stage was remarkable in its own right, but to bring in a string section and play Jim Hall's music was very unique and I don't know of any other festival in Canada that would do that,” Barlow explained. It's outside the box thinking in lineups and arrangements that keep people coming back year after year. Venues play a role in popularity as well as over 30 locations were utilized in the five day festival, a move that ensured no one had to travel too far to hear a rejuvenating wail of a guitar or the brassy blare of a trumpet. “Well it is the Prince Edward County Jazz Festi-

val so it's important that we have events all over the county and we really work to do that. When these people put together a restaurant or winery, it's important we support them,” Barlow explained. And not just your runof-the-mill businesses or wineries. The Glenwood Cemetery chapel was jammed for jazz Saturday morning

as Schwager and violinist Lenny Solomon got together in a unique duo. While unique and inspiring, jazz in a cemetery chapel does serve to stereotype fans of the genre.

involving Hannah Barstow, who haunted the Waring House with her dulcet and velvety tones for much of the week. “We really made a concerted effort to involve young people and there were more young people performing and in attendance. The idea that these concerts are going to have an older audience just isn't the case,” Barlow said.

A staff recommendation to convert the tennis courts in front of Benson Hall in Picton into paved parking was met with much opposition from council and the community at last week's committee-of-the-whole meeting. The recommendation didn't gain any traction among councillors and was lost. The measure came forward in a staff report with recommendations to improve access to parking in Picton's downtown core. Staff had made several recommendations, including converting the south side of Picton Main Street — from Lake Street to the Royal LePage property — to metered parking, which was deferred for more staff consideration and community consultation. Also deferred were recommendations to convert Market Lane to pay and display metered parking and to identify property on York Street for parking expansion. So too were recommendations to investigate further parking management changes, including replacing traditional meters with pay and display meters, weekend parking enforcement, and an increase in parking rates. Councillors did support a pair of the recommendations — endorsing the creation of a cash-in-lieu of parking bylaw, and directing staff to investigate opportunities to purchase land in Picton and Wellington for parking expansion. But it was the Benson Hall proposal that raised the ire of community members — many of whom condemned paving over one of the town's few core recreation spaces. Picton resident Catherine Lyon said she has several problems with the proposal.

Additional recommendations deferred pending consultation PARKING, from page 1

“I'm really concerned about the loss of mature tree canopy. There are seven beautiful, huge, old maple trees that are right against the tennis courts,” she said. “This is particularly important in the context of where the park is — across the street are two huge lots 100 feet deep that are completely paved. We need to protect that green space.” She said she was also concerned about the loss of recreation space, saying the tennis courts are often used by youth for ball hockey. “Recreation should be encouraged and enhanced in that space, we could put up basketball nets,” she said. “I don't want to see the loss of that space for them. The park should be for everybody, not just toddlers.” Picton Kinsmen Club president Phil St. Jean said the club has been seeking to upgrade the tennis courts as one of their community initiatives and doesn't feel it is an appropriate use of the property. “On behalf of the Kinsmen, we're expressing our concern that the removal of recreation space for parking lots is not necessarily a good idea and we certainly don't support that,” he

them. “There are a lot of people like me who would be willing to pay out of our pockets to refurbish this court,” he said. “It's downtown and it's close … I'm not sure why Mr. Benson gave the land to the town, but I'm sure it wasn't for a parking lot.” The staff report says the property could have created 15–20 additional parking spaces and was attractive because it's already owned by the municipality and is in the downtown core. The report says the measure would have cost about $40,000. Councillor Brian Marisett was among those who didn't support the measure. “Here we go again. The first thing we're going to do is attack some of our greenspace again,” he said. “…

It's important that we maintain accessibility to greenspaces and recreation within our different communities throughout the county.” Community members also expressed concern with converting parking on the south side of Main Street to metered parking and locating public parking on York Street, which prompted the committee's decision to defer the item for more community consultation. The additional recommendations were deferred to the Sept. 25 committee meeting, but chief administrative officer Merlin Dewing cautioned that date may have to be pushed back in order for staff to conduct the necessary community consultation.

County will continue to disburse parkland reserve in absence of master parks plan Councillors seek ways to put funds to use to improve recreation areas Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

Councillors weren't receptive last week to a staff recommendation to stop disbursing money from the parkland reserve fund until a county-wide parks master plan is completed. Committee of the whole voted Thursday against the motion to stop disbursing funds from the parkland reserve until a parks master plan is completed. They also voted against including a funding strategy for the parks master plan study in the 2015 budget. The issue will come before council at their Aug. 26 meeting. The recommendation was included in a report on cash-in-lieu of parkland spending that came to the committee at the behest of councillor Jamie Forrester. Forrester has many times inquired about the parkland reserve fund. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a report I've been waiting for for over a year. One of my concerns was that when a report did come forward we wouldn't be able to do anything with it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Here we are now at the end of August and I've got a report now saying we shouldn't take any money out of this fund and we should wait for a master plan.â&#x20AC;? He said several years ago $42,000 from Cottage Advisors was earmarked to be spent in Athol and throughout the term he's been seeking information on what can be done with the money. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I've been asking how I

Fed Up Councillor Jamie Forrester said he has been waiting for a year for a staff report on parkland funding â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in particular a $42,000 chunk that has been earmarked for Athol. He said he's been seeking answers to questions about how and where the money can be used and wants to get those answers before the end of the term. (Chad Ibbotson/Gazette staff)

can do this over and over again and I wanted to do something in this term of council,â&#x20AC;? he said last Thursday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can't tell you how disappointed I am right now.â&#x20AC;? Councillor Janice Maynard also did not support the recommendation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The idea that we will not be able to touch this money just seems ludicrous,â&#x20AC;? she said. Maynard said the report indicates that the fund can be used for equipment repairs, but such repairs would generally be included in the municipality's operating budget. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We couldn't get $30,000 to replace playground equipment in a major park in our neck of the woods,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Ś In Ameliasburgh alone there's been $90,000 raised in parkland funds and not one penny spent. Not one penny. You wonder why people think there's inequity.â&#x20AC;? The report says as of

Dec. 31 2013 there was $95,513 in the reserve with $45,550 of that amount having non-statutory restrictions on spending. The report says secondary plans for Picton and Wellington were recently approved, a

new secondary plan for Rossmore is slated to be completed next year, and the municipality has also scheduled the completion of a new Official Plan for 2015. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of these plans require the completion of a parks master plan,â&#x20AC;? the report says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is recommended that a parks master plan be utilized to identify parks spending priorities, funding and strategy and until this has been completed that no disbursements be made from the parkland reserve fund.â&#x20AC;? Although $45,000 in cash-in-lieu deposits sits in the reserve from Athol, no withdrawals from the fund have been made to upgrade parkland in the ward. Picton, Wellington, South Marysburgh, and Sophiasburgh had significant spending while Bloomfield, Ameliasburgh, North

Marysburgh, Hallowell, and Hillier each had none. The report says while deposits and withdrawals from the parkland reserve were provided by ward, staff don't recommend future spending be based on the geographic area where the development took place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Normally municipalities take a planned approach to the provision of parks and recreation facilities by including policies in their official plans and secondary plans,â&#x20AC;? the report says. The report says those policies are developed using an analysis of community needs with consideration for current facilities, industry standards, existing and projected populations, and provincial policies. Councillor Bev Campbell was among the few

who voted in favour of creating a parks master plan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's pretty clear that there is a need for a master plan study and to identify planning strategies,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It appears it has fallen by the wayside over the years.â&#x20AC;? She said however the money is spent, it's important for the community to have input. While the staff recommendations were not approved by the committee, councillors did support a motion from Forrester to work with staff to release the $42,000 to the Athol recreation committee and Cherry Valley Lions Club. The funds would go toward upgrading Lions Park in Cherry Valley and Glendon Green Boat Launch in the ward, subject to a legal opinion as to whether the funds can be spent on private land.

Consecon could begin as early as September following a committee-of-thewhole vote to approve a tender for the building last week. While it will still have to be approved by council at their Aug. 26 meeting, committee voted to award the tender to Dalren Limited of Cobourg in the amount of $1,285,500 excluding the generator and HST. The cost of the construction will be covered through a loan. The committee also voted to authorize the installation of a backup generator subsequent to the construction under a separate contract with costs not to exceed $35,000. The motion says a ground breaking ceremony is being planned at the site for this September. A staff report submitted to the committee says the site has been assigned the civic address of 14 County Rd. 29 and environmental work confirmed the site as a viable option. The report says prime consultant Colbourne & Kimbel Architects Inc. developed a preliminary design for the station which formed the basis for the tender. The new station will be 6,179 square feet or 576 square metres and will be wood frame construction. The exterior walls and roof will be covered with maintenance free steel while interior walls and ceiling in the apparatus floor area will be covered with maintenance free steel siding. The hall will have two offices and a training room. Bids for the new hall ranged from $1,093,000 to $1,632,000. The conceptual plan for the hall pegged costs at $145 per square foot and $45,000 for a generator. The Dalren bid came in at $208 per square foot. “Ultimately the funding source for this project will be debenture financing,” the report says. “Initially the project will be financed by a construction loan offered by Infrastructure Ontario at a current interest rate of 1.62 per cent.” The report says completion of the construction is targeted for the end of February 2015. There wasn't much debate among councillors regarding the project last week. The new four-bay Consecon station was identified in both the nine and 10-station plans debated by the master fire plan working group. Recently council moved toward the 10-station plan, voting to explore building a new station in the Picton industrial park. County chief administrative officer Merlin Dewing said last December there's no doubt an upgrade is required in Consecon. “We know the Consecon station is an obvious need and natural extension of our provision of service,” he said.

ROC prepares to deliver Guy Time pilot to area Grade 7 and 8 boys this fall will be able to receive some informal guidance in the areas where they need it going into high school. The program ends with a field trip of the group’s choosing and Fennell said the hope is to bring all of the Guy Time groups together to allow the participants to make new friends from other schools. The ROC has reached a partnership with the Prince Edward County OPP, also, with regard to the Guy Time project and community services officer Anthony Mann is expected to be heavily involved in the delivery of the program. Many of the students will likely already be familiar with Mann, who teaches

Lunch-hour program mirrors Girls Rock-It to help build healthy self esteem AdAm BrAmBurger Staff writer

After years of watching the girls rock it from the sidelines, Grade 7 and 8 boys will have their own time this school year. This week, the Recreation Outreach Centre (ROC) announced that through the Ontario Trillium Foundation and other funders, it has money available to offer a similar inschool support program to the Girls Rock-It program it has offered in county schools since 2011. The Girls Rock-It program was introduced into classrooms during breaks in the day as a voluntary program that helps girls develop positive self esteem and body image, as well as focusing on healthy choices like physical activity and proper nutrition. Through that program, many of the young girls who have expressed an interest in participating have been teamed up with positive, young female mentors they can relate to. Clearly, the group’s success led several officials to wonder if the program could be duplicated. “We’ve had feedback from parents, principals, and teachers asking for some sort of equivalent for boys in that age group as well,” said ROC program facilitator Hilary Fennell. According to Fennell, the actual roll out of the program, called Guy Time, is not something that has taken place overnight. ROC staff members have met with male teachers, community role models, and academics to find out how a program might be delivered to their audience and how that may differ from those offered to girls. While Fennell acknowledged the idea that boys tend to be more physically active in their bonding

activities, she said they’re have quite similar emotional challenges to those girls face, they just may present themselves differently. “There are actually very similar challenges — things like body image and peer relationships,” she said. “They happen at different stages and we realize there is a bit of a different approach taken.”

Ultimately, as a pilot project this year, the Guy Time program will run for six weeks and the participants will have a hand in choosing the activities the group does regularly. Fennell said that could mean learning new sports, it could mean engaging in the creative arts, and it could mean doing things the participants have never

tried before. She said the importance is not particularly in the activity the boys choose, but in what happens when they become entrenched in that activity. “The activities help them get situated where they can engage in conversations with their role models about the issues being discussed,” she said. That way, the students

the DARE program to Grade 6 classes. Fennell said the ROC is brainstorming with local officials about which schools the program will come to this year, though she said the indication seems to be that like Girls Rock-It, Guy Time would be welcomed with open arms in any setting. She indicated that the first year will be a trial run and in Year 2, the ROC expects that it will be able to deliver the new program to each elementary school within the county. After two years, the ROC will be able to evaluate whether it wishes to continue the program or focus on other initiatives.

Those present managed to put out the flames and save the church, but not before a 15-foot square hole was burned within the roof. n Prince Edward County man Roy Walker Jewell was arrested and brought before the magistrate on the rare charge of bigamy. Jewell was remanded for a week before his case could be heard by a magistrate in Belleville. n Picnics were held throughout the country to celebrate the centennial anniversary of the first Canadian Conference of Methodism, which was held in Hallowell in 1824. About 30 ministers had attended that conference from Upper and Lower Canada. They consolidated their efforts and formed the Methodist Missionary Society.

n Picton men Harold C. Norton and Charles Crossley returned to Canada after five-year terms serving overseas. The men had started out with the Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment, but were now part of the No. 1 Canadian Infantry Brigade. The men came home while escorting German prisoners of war to Canada and would go on a 28-day leave before returning to duty. n A campaign was started to raise money to help rebuild Christ Church in Hillier, which had been destroyed by fire. While a group of wardens was poised to seek subscriptions from the church’s congregation for the rebuild, a general plea was also put out to citizens of the county to give if they could to help the cause. n After a lapse of four years, the cheese makers from across Prince Edward County met in Bloomfield with a shared goal of boosting cheese quality. Ontario’s director of dairying C.E. Lackner also attended to give local producers an overview of the industry throughout the province.

nA large area of land on Smith’s Bay near Waupoos caught fire, yet residents and military volunteers were able to put out the flames before they got to Colin Wright’s long orchard, which likely would have given the fire much fuel. An abandoned, level cottage also served as a barrier to slow the spread of the fire. n The Royal Canadian Legion announced it would be offering a home bingo program, allowing people to buy cards in the community and watch their Gazette for the winning numbers each week. Bingos would be worth $100 cash.

n With warm weather, a slumping Canadian dollar worth a third less than the American dollar, and a recovering economy, county tourism operators reported the industry was on the upswing after a successful summer. Isaiah Tubbs Resort, for example, was seeing full houses on the weekend and over 80-per-cent occupancy rates during the week, while others were also thriving. n Cherry Valley woman Eunice Cole won $10,000 in the Ontario Lottery Corporation’s Instant Bingo game. She bought her lucky ticket at Wendy’s General Store.

Retiring from work, but not from life

Word on the street is that I am retiring at the end of this year. Some are paying little attention as I have made this threat before. After all, it is very difficult to retire from a “job” that has become far more than a profession, but also a way of life. I remember when I worked as a park naturalist at Sandbanks Park, campers would often strike up conversations with me, describing some of the most monotonous jobs one could ever imagine. No wonder they came to the park to camp! Clearly, many did not embrace their jobs, but it paid the mortgage and put food on the table. For me, it has been different. I was not professionally trained for any of this, but rather, sort of fell into nature interpretation gradually. On the farm, I was always curious about the world around me, bringing home specimens of what we were educated by agronomists to refer to as “weeds”. I needed to know their identity, and beyond that, an understanding of why they were in this field, and perhaps, not in another. By what means did they spread? Were they annuals or were they perennials? And how they fit into the natural scheme of things? They must have had some purpose, or they would not have survived as a species. I needed to know everything. At each fence row as I worked a field, I would watch

for bird life and make an effort to identify these too. It wasn’t easy as field guides were not available like they are today. All I had was a 100 year old bird book my father gave me that devoted endless pages on how best to bring them down and add them to the mantle; it didn’t even contain pictures. It was this natural curiosity that led me into nature interpretation, leading guided hikes, aerial tours, boat tours and, eventually, offering courses on bird identification and backyard naturalization. I was on a roll, and eager to become more intimate with nature so I could understand it even better. Fifty years ago, I even discovered that I could express a complete thought and get it into print as a weekly column – 2,600 of

The Ontario Provincial Police are reminding drivers that soon students will be back in classes and that mean buses will be on local roads regularly within the next few weeks. “The OPP asks you to be attentive as the youth of our communities return to school,” said chief superintendent Daniel Redmond, commander of the OPP’s East Region. “Safety is the No. 1 priority.” Every driver encountering a stopped school bus that has its overhead signal lights flashing are reminded to stop before reaching the bus and not proceed until the lights have stopped flashing, or be subject

to fines of up to $400 under the Highway Traffic Act. The OPP also cautions that many students walk to school and create increased pedestrian traffic that motorists should be aware of. Those children may be excited and distracted by the events of the first days of school and may not be paying attention to other users of the road. Motorists are asked to slow down in school zones and show extra caution. Police are also talking about having an increased presence in Community Safety Zones near schools where speeding fines are increased. The zones are clearly marked with road signs.

them in total by the end of this year. With the job came stress. Would someone on one of our hikes of over 30 people experience a medical emergency? Forty years of leading hikes, and no one ever did. Our Main Duck Island tours. Would we cross the famed “Graveyard of Lake Ontario”, also dubbed the “Marysburgh Vortex” safely on our 19 km journey? Once there, could we successfully negotiate for space on the busy dock? And on aerial tours, would this be the day we would experience what pilots like to call an “unscheduled landing” We never did. Weather was always a concern with everything we did, but no one ever complained. With the stress and concerns though, there was happiness. Doing what I enjoyed most in life and sharing information with those in attendance. Happy smiles on those faces and the satisfaction of seeing so many seniors among us, some of them in their early ‘80s, able to enjoy a hike safely in the company of others, and all of them far more fit than those half their age, and able to hike over 15 kilometres without breaking a sweat. My career has been both exciting and rewarding. Now, it is time for much of it to come to an end in mid-December. At 70 years of age, I want to hike those 160 km of trails at Fron-

tenac Park and bask in the very things that I have been teaching and writing about for so many years. My new book, “Naked in the Sand” will be a recap of my career as a nature interpreter, and a humorous collection of some of our misadventures along the way, especially those at Sandbanks; hence, the title. I could not have accomplished all these things without the support of those who attended our events, and have supported this column over the years. There will be no rocking chair for me, and I will remain more active than ever before, writing at least two or three more books, and expanding my website. I also have a few nature related volunteer projects that I am pursuing. And the column in this newspaper will continue until mid-December. Some friends are organizing a retirement party for me on April 18, in Wellington. They are telling me little and I am not sure if I should be pleased or frightened! If interested in being contacted as this event unfolds, just send me an e-mail and I will forward it to the organizers.

MANY people in this county probably have never stepped foot inside the basement of the Armoury Mall and a lot probably don’t realize the type of work that is being done by the Prince Edward Learning Centre (PELC) within a few cozy classrooms to help some of the overall challenges facing this county. The PELC has long offered vital programming to help adults in this community finish high school and learn basic literacy skills that help them read with their children and ensure that families can have a brighter future than present. In some cases, the organization has also prepared those adults to go back to school and gain college credits to help them find employability after a long road of studies. This week, news came that the PELC received funding from the Ontario government that will allow it to continue to offer those basic skills, but also frame them in the context of a program that will train people to go directly into the hospitality field to fill muchneeded jobs in the local economy. The program appears the result of a steady amount of studying the local jobs climate and understanding the needs and abilities of both employers and potential job seekers. PELC did the math and it discovered there is a gap in trained individuals available for service jobs here that could be filled by individuals who don’t need to go back to college or university — they just need an understanding of customer service and training that would apply to the specific jobs they’re hoping to fill in a tourism-driven economy. This funding should help to ensure that people who live in Prince Edward County and its surrounding areas who are looking for work can find jobs to keep them employed and they can be coached to a level where local companies will want to keep them and will expend less time and energy in training and searching for a workforce that previously didn’t seem to be available for them here. With that in mind, those chefs, producers, artisans, and hosts can stick to the type of work they do best and ensure they are innovating to stay ahead of the curve in order to bring business to the table here in the county. One hopes that many local businesses will take advantage of the Hospitality Plus students and that, if successful, the government will continue to offer funds for the PELC to inexpensively train people to support this growing and important sector of the local economy here and in our neighbouring communities. Beyond that, it would be nice to see reforms so that all levels of post-secondary education are meeting their targets in such a way that we expect this new program will deliver results.. Colleges and universities should also receive a portion of their own funding as incentives for delivering their own graduates into employment in their chosen field or in a sector where Ontario needs an educated, trained professional shortly after they complete their required courses. While we applaud the quest for lifelong learning, there is something to be said for a public education system that rewards taxpayers for their contributions by servicing a robust economy. PELC’s new program should be a model of one that does just that and those like it should be celebrated.

The County Writes... The County Reads on the radio The library is pleased to be part of The County’s new community radio station, 99.3 County fm. We will be contributing to a program all about the world of books and the stories behind them. The show, The County Writes…The County Reads, will air on Sundays from 12 noon to 1 p.m. The library had proposed an idea for this type of show, but it was when Lynn Pickering pulled it together into a cohesive proposal that the idea became a reality. I will be co-hosting The County Writes…The County Reads with Lynn, who is an experienced radio and television producer. After a long career as a writer/producer in radio and television in Toronto, Pickering moved to a log house in Prince Edward County with her husband and painter, Ron. Since coming to the County, Lynn has written and produced videos for www.historyliveshere.ca, and currently works as a member of a media training team for the Canadian Armed Forces. “Aside from my career producing, I also enjoyed interviewing authors such as Ruth Rendell, Timothy Findley, and John Grisham,” says Pickering of her past projects. “When I heard that 99.3 County FM was going on the air I thought it would be an excellent opportunity to showcase not only the wonderful writers we have here, but also to tell stories of The County – its people, heritage and history. Of course, we’ll also welcome visiting writers to the show so it will be varied, eclectic and, above all, entertaining.” The county is rich with writers. Andrew Binks, J.D. Carpenter, Vicki Delany, Bernie Finklestein, Joanne Fralick, Colin Frizzell, Tanya Huff, Janet Kellough, Shani Mootoo, Fiona Patton, Michael Riordon, and Robin Timmerman are a few that come to mind, so there will

be no shortage of interesting interviews and books to discuss. Some segments for the program have already been recorded including “Tell me a story” which features local residents sharing their personal tales. Also included will be the latest library news, indepth author interviews, short readings, and book reviews. Most important, however, will be soliciting contributions from listeners and reading letters on air. We welcome input for the show and encourage those with ideas to contact me at the Picton branch library. Lynn and I can also be reached by e-mail at: countywritescountyreads@993countyfm.ca The first show is slated for early fall and radio personality and interim general manager for 99.3 County FM JJ Johnson says everything is on track. “The antennas are going up, studios are about to be built, the programming schedule is coming together and you will be hearing lots more about all of this soon including our kickoff celebration,” says Johnson. “Don't hesitate to go to our Facebook page or 993countyfm.ca for updates. Thank you for your support and please keep it coming."

As I returned from my trip to Israel about a month ago, I had felt that my world had become much larger. This opportunity was presented to me by my distant family who live in Israel, namely my second cousins. I had the pleasant opportunity to meet them a year ago when they came to Toronto on some business. During that time I spent much time conversing with them as I knew nothing about their part of the world. Then the question I had hoped for came up “Would you like to stay with us in Israel?” Naturally, I said ‘Yes’, and eagerly awaited the time when I would graduate from high school and take the trip of a life time. It was at that point that I realized that I would be living with a Jewish family for two weeks, so I would get a full-on experience about what it would mean to live in Israel from the perspective of a Jewish family. It is safe to say that my voyage to Israel was nothing short of amazing. Although

the flight was about 14 hours, that was not enough to stop me from having the best time in a foreign country. Over the span of two weeks I had covered most of central Israel, including, the City of David, the Dead Sea, and Masada. Being a person who enjoys world history I could not help but get sucked into the rich culture and traditions that Israel had to offer. One of my favourites in this case was bartering prices at the Arab market in the Old City which is located in Jerusalem. One of the most fascinating places for any historian to visit is Masada. To sum it up, it is an ancient Roman fort that was constructed on a mountain in the middle of a desert. It was a fantastic sight to see and it truly adds to the experience. After that excursion, I had the fortunate opportunity to visit the popular Dead Sea. Out of all the places I visited in Israel, this was probably my favourite. The Dead Sea is popular for mainly three things, the massive amount

of salt production, the mud covers, which people use for cosmetic purposes, and the incredible buoyancy of the water. If you don’t pay attention where you walk in the Dead Sea, your feet will shoot out from under you and you will just float on the surface. Since the Dead Sea is so popular, Israel has built a resort on the beach next to it, which makes it perfect for people of any age. One of the other highlights was going to a natural pool of water. In

Israel they are referred to as “Watis”. The best way to describe them is as small oases in the desert. They can range from water falls, pools, or streams. Whenever I would go to one there would at least be a dozen other people. These are excellent ways to cool down on a hot summer’s day. Among the major hot spots in Israel for tourists is Tel Aviv, one of the major cities in Israel. I found it to have more tourists than Jerusalem but the city is

amazing all the same. One of the biggest attractions to Tel Aviv is the massive beach. As I live close to Sandbanks I am quite familiar to the beach setting, but the beach in Tel Aviv is absolutely marvelous. It is very active all the time, even at night it would be common for people to still be at the beach having a good time. One of the last events I went to before I left Israel, was the massive water gun fight. This event happens every year in Tel Aviv in the central square where thousands of people gather and start shooting each other with water guns. I could not go through this review without mentioning the food I had the pleasure of eating. Luckily in Canada, there is such a diverse population filled with people from different backgrounds. This means that Canadians do have the opportunity to eat Jewish food on a regular basis if they so choose, but getting to eat Jewish food in Israel really adds to the experience.

Due to Israel’s usage of globalization, they have been able to westernize, without destroying their traditional food. These range from shawarma, falafel and, of course, hummus. There was one big difference for myself however as I come from a Christian home, I had to eat Kosher the entire time. Before I went, I had no idea what it would taste like or how different it would be. I was pleased to find out the food was very similar (minus a few things). I had the pleasure to eat traditional Jewish food, and it was nothing short of delicious. Eating this kind of different food adds to the experience of going to a foreign country. Despite the current issues in Israel, it is a fantastic country. The people were generally welcoming, hardworking and honest. I couldn’t have asked for a more enjoyable experience. I highly recommend this kind of trip to people of all ages. -Nathan Schubert

PELC to focus on hospitality training New year-long course prepares students for work in service sector

The Prince Edward Learning Centre (PELC) is attempting to cater its programming to serve the needs of the job market its students are entering to look for work. This fall, the PELC will start with the first of two intakes in the Hospitality Plus training program along with its partners with Community Learning Alternatives in Hastings County. PELC executive director Kathy Kennedy said the numbers dictated there was a need not being met. “Our experience at the February job fair hosted by the municipality and Career Edge showed strong job availability in hospitality sector,” she said, adding that statistic provided from the East Central Ontario Training Board also backed up the conclusion. “If you want a job in the county, hospitality is key,” Kennedy said. “We want youth to know there are permanent, year-round jobs in hospitality.” Through funding from the Ministry of Economic Development, Trade and Employment, some 40 positions are available for Hospitality Plus training in lower Hastings County — areas like Quinte West, Belleville, and Deseronto — as well as here in Prince Edward. Kennedy said locally, that will mean 12-20 students aged 18-29 will be able to subscribe for the year-long program in two intakes in September and in January. The students will have a chance to complete their high school education, but they will also be trained for jobs in the hotel or culinary industry. The candidates will be expected to attend training regularly for eight hours a day. For their first four weeks, the students will receive training that includes literacy upgrading and workplace essentials. Then, over the next 12 weeks, those students will take individualized programming to learn a skill set, be it a room attendant, a line or prep cook, a front-line clerk, or a server. Some nine months will be spent in the field with job

coaches on hand to help both the student and the employer adapt successfully to the work placement. “It’s a difficult, fast-paced sector, Kennedy said. “Our goal is to support retention and to help people stay in the workplace longer.” Kennedy said often Career Edge comes to the PELC looking for candidates to place in the county as the tourism industry has a constant shortage of help. Wineries, accommodation providers, and kitchens are often looking for help. Though ideally the program would help students find long-term employment right in this community, Kennedy said the benefits of hospitality training are many. “The important skills learned are transferable” she said. “Strong customer service skills will bode well, wherever they go.” Also, the Canadian Tourism Commission has reported that starting in 2015, there will be a similar shortage of trained people to work in the service industry across the entire country, which means the graduates should have skills that could be used in any part of Canada. While Kennedy said the job placement is an important piece of the training package, there will also be plenty of experiential learning along the lines of “being a tourist,” where students will be able to visit communities and establishments where they can observe good and bad examples of customer service directly. In order to deliver the program, PELC has hired Trish Waplak as a youth employment facilitator to

work with those entering the program. Waplak was cofounder and principal of Applewood Academy, an independent school for highrisk youth. Kennedy said Waplak also has a background in adult education and brings a passion for teaching that makes her an easy person to relate to. Thus far, Kennedy said the PELC has received great interest from students looking to be part of the first intake — staff are in the process of evaluating applicants now — and it has also received interest from local employers in taking on placements. Those interested in the training are invited to visit the PELC in the basement of the Armoury Mall or call 613-476-1811. Kennedy said another exciting aspect of the new Hospitality Plus training is that it provides another avenue to the job force for those students who don’t see themselves on the path to community college. Right now, she said there’s the PSW program offered by Loyola School of Adult and Continuing Education, a truck driving school in Belleville, and few other options for students outside of Loyalist College. “There are few opportunities for young people in their 20s to attend skillsbased training if they are not going to college,” she said. “There are even fewer opportunities if you live in a rural community such as Prince Edward County. That’s about to change.” Kennedy said the PELC is already looking to secure funding for Hospitality Plus beyond the first two intakes.

Learn about the symptoms and signs of thyroid disease

This following is taken from the web site of the Thyroid Foundation of Canada at thyroid.ca About 200 million people in the world have some form of thyroid disease. The Thyroid Foundation of Canada was founded in 1980 to promote public education about thyroid disease and to promote public support of thyroid research. Thyroid disorders for the most part are treatable; however, untreated thyroid disease can produce serious results in other parts of the body. Improved public awareness and understanding of thyroid disorders will enable patients and their families to cope more effectively with the sometimes disturbing course of thyroid illness. In this way individuals will also be better equipped to play a role in alerting their physicians to a suspected thyroid condition that may otherwise be difficult to diagnose in the sometimes slowly developing initial phases. The thyroid gland is a small butterfly-shaped gland at the base of the neck. It weighs only about 20 grams. However, the hormones it secretes are essential to all growth and metabolism. The gland is a regulator of all body functions. Thyroid disorders are found in 0.8-5 per cent of the population and are four to seven times more common in women. There are many types of thyroid disease. However, the main conditions present in most thyroid illnesses are hypothyroidism (thyroid under activity) and hyperthyroidism (thyroid over activity). Thyroid nodules are common and treatable but should always be investigated since a small proportion of them are cancerous. The majority of thyroid cancers have a favourable prognostic and require a multidisciplinary approach (endocrinologist, surgeon, nuclear medicine specialist and sometimes oncologist). In the past years there has been a rise in the number of thyroid cancers being identified. There has been no change however, in the mortality rate. Signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism include: weak slow heart beat; muscular weakness and constant fatigue; sensitivity to cold; thick puffy skin and/or dry skin; slowed mental processes and poor memory; constipation; goitre (increased size of the thyroid). Signs and symptoms of hyperthyroidism include: rapid forceful heartbeat; tremor; muscular weakness; weight loss in spite of increased appetite; restlessness, anxiety and sleeplessness; profuse sweating and heat intolerance; diarrhea; eye changes; goitre (increased size of the thyroid). Each person’s experience of thyroid illness differs depending on a number of factors and a patient will not necessarily have all the above symptoms. Also, some patients have the symptoms in the absence of thyroid disease. A physician should be consulted if thy-

Favourite pickle recipes to enjoy during the late-summer harvest season

Hello everyone! Hope you are enjoying this glorious summer! Isn't it amazing? No drought, the lawns stayed green and things are growing very well. We just enjoyed the first ripe Brandywine tomato from the garden today and it was the best tomato ever! Well, I think so. I always seem to plant them later than I should, but this year I took extra care to keep the plants clean and protected and up off the ground. I made some tipis to grow them up with bamboo poles and it has worked very well. I just kept tying them to the poles as they grew. And I cut off the lowest stems sticking out to deter any blight or bugs. So far, so good. I haven't even seen a hornworm yet and that is fine with me. With gardening some things usually work better than others and some things grow one year and not so great the next. It's always a surprise for me out there. I thought I would save time this year and plant my zinnia seeds right in the ground. I looked forward to borders on all my flower beds of small pink and orange zinnias. Well it would have been fine if I had watered them more. even with a good amount of rain, the sandy soil here drains and dries out quickly, not so good for seedlings to make it on their own. so I then started some indoors and planted them out where I wanted them. The earwigs thought they were wonderful snacks and most totally disappeared. Good thing this was all seed I had saved or it would have been costly! Right now I am still putting out some larger

MOM'S PICKLED BEETS

n Two cups of cider vinegar n Two cups of water n One tespoon of salt n Two cups of sugar n One tablespoon mustard seed n One teaspoon allspice n One teaspoon cloves n One tablespoon of cinnamon n Cooked beets

Kate’s Corner

KATHERINE MINAKER zinnias I had started. So all is not lost. My beets didn't seem to grow well, but the grass around them did, so i took out the whole row. Beans are okay. I did a row of half-green and halfpurple beans and am picking them now. Started a row of yellow just a couple weeks ago and they all sprouted fine, so will look forward to those. The large Russian paste tomatoes look great, with many long fat fruits just starting to colour. they are the best paste tomatoes i have ever seen, thanks to Joan, so this year I thought I would grow some. I didn't tie them to anything just made them a nice straw bed to rest on. When I do get around to finding some beets I will be making my mom's recipe. I have shared her recipe with friends as they are the best. They taste the way pickled beets ought to, if you know what I mean. I will share with you here now. You will really like this.

Combine vinegar, water, salt, sugar in large pot. Tie spices in a paper coffee filter or a bit of cheesecloth, tightly. Boil for five minutes. Add beets and simmer for 15 minutes. Seal in hot sterilized jars. Note: Do not worry if spices aren't accurate as long as you come close it will be fine. Also I add 1 teaspoon of celery seed if I have it. You can put in as many beets as you want, so long as there is enough hot liquid to cover in jars. If not, cook up some more liquid.

FREEZER LEMON PICKLES

n Four cups of thin sliced cucumbers n One small onion, sliced n One and one-half teaspoons of pickling salt n One-half lemon, thinly sliced n One cup white vinegar n One-half cup sugar

Combine cucumbers, onions and pickling salt. Let stand 3 - 5 hours. Drain, but do not rinse. Add lemon slices. Combine vinegar and sugar and pour over top. Pack into freezer containers and leave one inch of head space. Freeze.

Defrost in fridge at least eihthours before using. Note: these have a fresh light lemon flavour.

FREEZER DILLS

n Three-and-one-half cups thin sliced cucumbers n Two garlic cloves, sliced thin n One tablespoon of pickling salt water n One cup of white vinegar n On-quarter cup of sugar

n One sprig (or more) fresh dill n One teaspoon of dill seeds n One bay leaf (if you have, I did not) Combine cucumbers, garlic and pickling salt. Cover with water. Let set three hours. Drain, rinse and drain again. Combine vinegar and sugar. mix well to dissolve sugar.Add cucumbers and toss well. Place dill sprig, dill seeds

and bay leaf in a freezer container. mAdd cucumbers and pickling liquid. Leave 1 inch head space. Cover and freeze. Defrost in fridge eight hours before using.

Hope you enjoy these and your garden gives you lots of produce and pleasure. If you have questions or recipes to share, please e-mail me at kminaker53@yahoo.ca. Enjoy the rest of summer.

Domaine Darius offers a garden oasis with a promising array of craft wines

This past Saturday I was out sippin' in county and stopped by a very interesting new venture. Domaine Darius had opened just the previous Saturday and is the newest winery in the county offering their special vision! Joni and Dave Gillingham purchased this particular property in 2008 and I have actually watched them transform it over the past few years. Domaine Darius is a 50-acre property with just over five acres of grapes planted. Much of their property is environmentally protected and falls under the governance of Quinte Conservation. The property had been neglected for many years and the driveway had become overgrown. There were remnants of an 1800s barn and house foundations and rusted farm machinery could be found in every corner of the property. They explained to me how they lived in a plastic 10 x 20 car garage for a year while they cleared the drive and cleared the property. Showers were buckets of water hung in a tree and heat at night was sometimes socks, wool hats and lots of blankets. They then planted grapes and prepared for a permanent house to be constructed. The winery is fully off grid with the sun and the wind supplying all of their electrical needs. Dave explained that the decision to go off grid wasn't merely a monetary decision. Since

sippin’ in the county

JOE HACHE they were located quite a ways from the road it would have meant cutting down a lot of trees and that wasn't just an option for him. When you visit you will see the setting these trees provide! The winery itself is underground taking advantage of the natural heating and cooling effects of the ground. Dave has been making wine for about 35 years and graduated to senior master wine vintner in the Amateur Winemakers of Ontario. He is also a trained member of the Wine Judges of Canada. His plan is to focus on making wine that best expresses the grape and the terroir. He says he is a small craft winery and will be making small batches. As such he expects his wines to have his personal character and reflect the terroir of Prince Edward County and the growing season. For this reason he doesn’t expect his wines to be the same every year.

The vineyard is mainly planted with Pinot noir, Chardonnay, Marquette, Frontenac Blanc and Gewurztraminer, with a small test plot of Zinfandel. They currently are offering their 2011 Gewurztraminer, 2012 un-oaked Chardonnay and a 2011 Pinot noir. Soon to be released will be their signature Gewurztraminer, barrel fermented Chardonnay, Marquette and a Frontenac blanc. Of course I sipped some of the wine and although I liked everything I tasted, I was particularly impressed with the Gewurztraminer! Just as impressive as the winery is the large garden in front. Joni is an avid gardener with many "Ontario Communities in Bloom" awards for her gardens in Pickering to her credit. She is turning Domaine Darius into a garden oasis. We spent quite a bit of time wandering the garden and just experiencing the tran-

impressive start Dave Gillingham shared some of his first wines at Domaine Darius with Joe Hache, who noted he was most impressed with the 2011 Gewurztraminer. Several other varieties are scheduled to be released soon. (Submitted photo)

Existing Compressor Station (additional compression to be added)

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

and Quebec with a safe and reliable source of natural gas. TransCanada has considered a number of routing options as part of the consultation process with interested landowners and stakeholders. An initial proposed route was shared in project materials that were provided at Open Houses held between May and June 2014 and during other outreach activities this year. During the Open Houses and as part of ongoing conversations with landowners and stakeholders, we received important feedback and have refined the route for the pipeline. We are continuing our engagement efforts and welcome any additional feedback as we refine route deviations.

and furniture so they may be ready for families in need; and Crumbs in the Food Basket: Solving Rural Poverty, a film documentary exploring the issues of food security and rural poverty and those who are doing something about it. Epstein said some other groups were looking to put together projects requiring wider collaboration and some the clearly required municipal backing in order to proceed. He said each applicant that did not reach the final five received detailed feedback that would go beyond the scope of a letter saying they were not chosen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In some cases it was â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;get those logistics in place, then come back to us when the money is going to make a real difference,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Epstein said of the projects. On Thursday night, all five groups will have an opportunity to make a public presentation which will last about three-to-five minutes. The presenters are encouraged to get their point across in the most creative way possible. Following all five presentations, the trustees will be able to ask questions. They will then withdraw to a private location and decide which project they will support with the grant. Epstein said during that time, refreshments will be served and members of the public will have a chance to mingle with the presenters. He said that networking time alone was enough

reason for the event to be held in public. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will give people a chance to interact,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a project that moved them, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a chance for them to be able to offer to support it with money or with time.â&#x20AC;? If that happens, there will be more than just one organization that considers itself a winner at the pitch party and there will be more groups enabled to do awesome things within Prince Edward County. The party will begin at 7 p.m. All are welcome. Epstein, who learned of the Awesome concept in Kingston, said the initial 10 trustees have committed to invest $100 four times, with another intake every three months. He said $100 isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a lot to give, but when several people put their money in at the same time, it can make a big difference. Following a launch at a Creative Rural Minds event earlier this year at Small Pond Arts, Epstein said the Awesome Foundation signed up several donors who could step in for future campaigns, allowing either more granting or more diversified granting to take place. The next round of applications for Awesome PEC grant funding is already open. Groups can visit the Awesome PEC web site at www.awesomepec.com, follow the movement on Twitter or on Facebook. The deadline to apply for Round 2 is Nov. 1.

Finding shrubs that thrive within a myriad of shady conditions in your garden

A shady or semi-shady garden can be a beckoning oasis in the dog days of summer. Many of us have a good knowledge of which perennials do well in the shade or part-shade but we are stumped about which shrubs, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;bones of the gardenâ&#x20AC;?, will thrive under less than sunny conditions. First, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s define what we mean by the myriad classifications of the term â&#x20AC;&#x153;shadeâ&#x20AC;? that we seem to encounter in garden centres. I dump all shade-loving plants into three basic categories; deep shade, half-shade and part shade. Deep shade is the type of shade found beneath dense-leafed deciduous trees or conifers or the type of shade delivered on the north side of a tall wall where the plant gets almost no sun. The less intense the light, the less likely that a plant will bloom well or even grow at all. Half shade basically tells us that the plant will tolerate sunlight half the day. For plants like hostas, astilbes, ferns, the half of the day that they

ASKâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6; MASTER GARDENER

KATHY MACPHERSON

need shade would be the afternoon as they could not tolerate the burning afternoon sun. For plants like rudbeckia, Echinacea, and coreopsis, the half of the day that shade would be tolerated would be in the morning as they do need the full hot afternoon sun to thrive. What is the difference between part shade, part sun, filtered shade, light

shade and dappled shade? There is no difference, so letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just use the one term, â&#x20AC;&#x153;part shadeâ&#x20AC;? to describe them all. This type of shade means that plants require some modified but not strong sunlight throughout the day. Situations that provide part shade are generally found under tall deciduous trees, shrubs and vine covered arbors and pergolas. There are many shrubs that will do very well in shady areas and I find that most will adapt well to shady conditions even if that is not their preferred situation. For instance, flowering quince prefers full sun for optimal bloom but mine are in half shade (morning sun only) and they flower just fine but probably not as profusely as they would in a full sun situation. Native shrubs tend to do well in shady circumstances as they are often found naturally in the woods and forests. Here are some shrubs that you could consider for your shade garden or shady areas of your property.

Viburnum. This is a genus of over 150 evergreen, semi-evergreen, and deciduous woody plants. There is a viburnum for every garden situation you can imagine. Viburnum is a native North American plant. Many have colorful fruits and beautiful fall foliage. In addition, the fruits are appealing to birds and other wildlife. Bartram Serviceberry, Amelanchier bartramiana. A native North American shrub that grows from 2- 4 feet tall, the Bartram Serviceberry blooms from May to August and fruits from June to September. It is a graceful shrub with delicate blossoms and fruits and is good for naturalistic plantings under tall trees (part-shade). This shrub provides cover and nesting for the thrushes and food for dozens of varieties of birds. Virginia sweetspire, Itea virginica. This is an erect,

(3"%& 4 ,

(3"%& 4

large Native American shrub growing 8-12â&#x20AC;&#x2122; tall with an equal spread so put it where it has a lot of room to grow. Its white panicle type blooms in midsummer can be spectacular. It is known to be one of the best shrubs for part shade and deep shade. Other shrubs for shady situations include yews, nannyberry, black alder, double kerria, rhodendron, dogwood, witchhazel and many others. Specialty nurseries are often the best sources for unusual shrubs, particularly native varieties. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be shy about planting interesting shrubs in the shade and remember that fall is a perfect time to plant.

rounded, deciduous shrub which grows 3-4 feet tall and tolerates heavy shade. It produces tiny white flowers that cover the plant in early summer. Oval, dark green leaves turn garnet red in autumn sometimes persisting on the shrub until December. Hydrangea, Hydrangea quercifolia, Hydrangea macrophylla. This is a genus of shrubs that range from the leathery leafed oakleaf to the delicate lacecaps and the big mopheads. Hydrangeas need well drained soil and half shade or part shade. Ninebark. Physocarpus spp. is a upright, rounded shrub that comes in many varieties, thus many leaf colors. It produces small blossoms in the spring but is known for its unique leaf colors and peeling bark in the winter. It can take part shade. Bottlebrush buckeye, Aesculus parviflora. This is a

Wellington’s new additions shine in scaled-back camp Dukes gearing up to open preseason against Trenton tomorrow night Jason Parks

Staff writer

A scaled-back training camp when compared to years past, only about 55 players darkened the white ice of the Essroc Arena this past weekend as the Wellington Dukes hockey club started preparing for the 2014-2015 OJHL season. Prospects hoping to cement their status with the local junior A club and new acquisitions looking to impress Dukes coach and general manager Marty Abrams were in full flight during a competitive and up tempo session this weekend. In all, there were plenty of positives surrounding the weekend set of skates that will lead to Wellington's first exhibition game when the Dukes welcome the Trenton Golden Hawks Friday night at 7:30 p.m. First, the pick ups Wellington made during the off season looked solid in their training camp debut.

Making the cut Prospective Duke Trent Schutt tries to outskate Joe Deluca during Wellington’s training camp

this weekend. As is the case every year, the camp brings players from all over North America. While Schutt skated for the Quinte Red Devils last season, Deluca is a veteran of the New Jersey Hitmen organization. (Jason Parks/Gazette staff)

Marco Azzano had five goals in two games and seemed to be everywhere on the ice the puck was. The two-year OJHL veteran acquired from the Whitby Fury was a very pleasant surprise for Abrams this past weekend. “He surprised me in a good way. I knew he was a good player or we wouldn't

have made a trade for him but I didn't realize some of the things he brings,” Abrams said of the forward. “I knew about his quickness and intensity but this guy is strong on the puck, great down low, is gritty, and he has a knack around the net.” At first blush, defenceman Connor Judson looks

like the perfect complement to Andrew Coupland. Judson, who was picked up from the Nepean Raiders of the Central Canadian Junior Hockey League, seems to have size, speed and strength in the Wellington end and could be a very tough assignment for opposing offensive lines.

The 6'3”, 220 lbs right handed shooting defender showed plenty of physicality and poise on the weekend, impressing the Wellington braintrust. “We needed someone to play with Andrew and that's where Connor is going to start. That provides balance on our first pairing with a right-left

combination,” Abrams explained. “As a pair of 20year-olds, I fully expect that pairing to log a ton of ice.” Another CCHL pick up that was just announced this weekend by the Dukes was the acquisition of Curtis Colbary formerly of the Hawkesbury Hawks. The 6'2” 205 lbs left winger looked good grinding in the corners with Griffin McCarty and the physical play of the duo was very noticeable. “He brings that sandpaper element to our lineup,” Abrams said of Colbary. “He just needs to continue to physical and work on his conditioning.” In terms of netminding, Abrams figured that element was a strength of this weekend's camp with veteran Taylor Welsh leading the way. But among the more intriguing storylines of the weekend was the play of 16-year-old Oliver Lafrenière. Selected by the Ottawa 67's in the third round of the 2014 OHL entry draft, the young puckstopper was an imposing presence along the goal line.

Huskers take silver in Intermediate B provincial tournament Hot Fenelon Falls team outpaces rested County squad 9-2 in Frankford Sunday Jason Parks

Staff writer

The fruits of the Prince Edward County Men's Fastball League are beginning to ripen and it showed this past weekend as a club of local fastballers made the final game of the Ontario Amateur Softball Association Intermediate B championships. Although the Picton Beatty Seeds Huskers would fall to a Fenelon Falls squad Sunday in Frankford, this OASA championship run is a callback to the times in the ‘60s,’ 70s and early ‘80s when local squads were part of the championship softball scene in Ontario. Locally, the sport was more or less mothballed at the men's level in the early 1990's until a resurgence in 2005 came with the formation of a new PECMFL. “All in all, it was a great weekend for softball in our area,” Huskers Manager Chad Camp said. “Making the Ontario B final is quite an accomplishment and although we would have liked to win the tournament, we left with our heads held high.” The Fenelon Falls Lakes Fastball Club had to come through the losers sides of the bracket on Sunday to face an undefeated Huskers club and the extra games must

have helped the eventual champs as they dropped the local entry 9-2. Paul Norman had a two run homer for the locals to save face but Camp said the Fenlon Falls team were worthy champions. “Their bats really came alive and Kurt Moore was great on the mound for them. He threw every inning of every game on Sunday,” Camp said. Picton actually got off to a great start against Fenlon Falls in their first game Saturday, toppling the Central Ontario squad 7-3. With the game tied at 22 after two, Jamie Blakely jacked a two run bomb to put Picton up pair and gave them a lead they would never relinquish. Will Claus pitched for the Huskers and Camp said the veteran southpaw got locked in as the the game wore on. “We were a little shaky behind him early on and that caused a pair of unearned runs in the first but he was great,” said Camp. In the second game of the tournament, Picton would come up against the Oshawa Rebels and opened the scoring in the second with a three run outburst.

Ottawa 67’s draft pick turning heads in Dukes’ crease DUKES, from page 18

In Ottawa where a new coach and general manager have taken over the 67's, no job is safe so Lafrenière could work his way on to the OHL club. But if can't, he could provide Wellington with a solid option. “I think Ottawa has some goalies signed but there's been a change in coaching and management so we are going to wait and see,” Abrams said. “We would love to have him. I think he's an OHL-calibre goaltender right now. He shows that level of ability and maturity.” If Lafrenière does come to Wellington, it might eliminate some of the headaches Abrams is dealing with now in terms of 16 year olds. Austin Labelle, Shaw Boomhower and Chase St. Aubin have had extremely strong camps and are making a name for themselves. “Just like I anticipated, they've created some real problems for us because they've played so well,” Abrams said. “We are going to go into these exhibition games and they've all moved into a position where they could make the hockey club

Back at it Wellington Duke Luc Brown hones his release during a scoring attempt

at Wellington Dukes training camp this weekend. Brown will be one of the veterans counted on to bring scoring punch to the Wellington line up. (Jason Parks/Gazette staff)

I'd have no qualms putting that line together and playing them in a league game based on what I saw this

weekend.” After Friday, Wellington returns the favour and plays in Trenton on Saturday night

at 7:30 p.m. On Monday, Wellington is in Cobourg to play their Cougars at 7 p.m.

unscathed took on water in the top of the seventh when Oshawa loaded the bases with just one out. Dowdell, who had five strikeouts in the game, was lifted in favour of Claus and the lefty had trouble finding the strike zone, walking his first two batters to erase the Picton lead. But a harmless pop fly and a strikeout kept Picton in the driver's seat and in the bottom of the last inning, the Husker made the magic happen. Campbell led off with a base knock and Blakely

moved him to third base with a single of his own. With one out and runners at first and third, Norman was clutch with a gapfinding base hit to walk off the Rebels 4-3. On Sunday, the Huskers had their hitting shoes on early, toppling the host Frankford club 8-1 in a mercy shortened game. Blakely had four strikeouts in five innings and the club batted around in the second inning, chasing Frankford starter Adam Danford and punching his team's ticket to the final

game. Fenelon Falls would win their Sunday morning game, best Frankford later that day and then beat Picton for the championships in the nine-team tournament. Team members of the 2014 OASA Intermediate B finalists are :Shawn Williams, Denis Smith, Jamie Blakely, Kyle Beatty, Brad Lynd, George Campbell, Wil Claus, Dale Dowdell, Dan Wallwork, Greg Wallwork, Chad Camp, Jim Blakely, Mark Norton and Paul Norman.

ory of a dear caring Dad and Grandfather who left us August 25th, 2011. There’s a special place in Heaven That is a part of me Its not where we wanted him But where God wanted him to be If we could only speak to him And hold his loving hand No matter what we said or did We know he’d understand He was someone very special He will never be replaced His memory in our daily lives Can never be erased So rest in Heaven, free of pain Until someday we’ll meet again. Sadly miss you and love you always Randy, Payton & Levi. CARteR- Randall. In loving memory of a dear husband who passed away August 25th, 2011. My life goes on without you But nothing is the same I have to hide my heartache When someone speaks your name Silent are the tears that fall Living without you is the hardest part of all You did so many things for me Your heart was kind and true And when I needed someone I could always count on you Those special years will not return When we were together But with the love within my heart You’ll walk with me forever. Forever loved and sadly missed. Jeanne. CLARk HAGeN, Diane. In memory of a loving mom who passed away August 21, 2012. It’s been two years since you were called away You can’t imagine how much I miss you every day But the pain and suffering I hated to see You were getting tired and no cure to be I know now that you’re in a peaceful place With the passed ones you loved in a beautiful space So when the butterfly I watch catches the air And the first flakes of winter glisten ground fair And the sunset glows with splendorous array I know that it’s you and it brightens my day I miss your humour and how you would dance free But now I see you in the stars above me You are the fresh scent of flowers in May You are in the leaves, changing as fall’s on its way You are part of my senses I feel, touch smell and see I know now Mom you haven’t left me Miss You, Love You, See Ya, Kim sedORe- Samuel.

PELA CFDC secures funding for Napanee Innovation Academy Public-private partnership creates technology incubator, brings state-of-the-art 3D printers to region to aid modeling and design ashley espinoza

The NapaNee Beaver

Napaneeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first Innovation Academy opened Tuesday with state-of-the-art 3D printers and $100,000 in federal and local funding. Prince Edward-Hastings MP Daryl Kramp and the Prince Edward/Lennox and Addington Community Futures Development Corporation (PELA CFDC) announced Tuesday morning that $100,000 in Eastern Ontario Development Program funding would go toward the Napanee Innovation Academy. The academy is located in the former Napanee East Ward schoolhouse, which was initially built in 1874. The building has been renovated and now includes 10 offices, as well as state-of-theart 3D printers and PC workstations for 3D modeling and design. Craig Desjardins, executive director of PELA CFDC said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a collaboration project that will provide innovative technology to young

people, entrepreneurs and professionals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The model weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve developed is really a collaboration of private/public partnership,â&#x20AC;? said Desjardins. Kramp said youth is our future â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and in order to allow youth to grow, they must be exposed to as many opportunities as possible in order to invent, develop and create. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to plant a seed to make something grow. In this particular case, if you spark curiosity, you bring out the inventor in some people. Our young people, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where the ideas of tomorrow will come from. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping this acts as a catalyst, because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s real. You can see a tangible result,â&#x20AC;? he said, stating the opportunity the Napanee Innovation Academy will bring to local students are endless. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some people will try to sell an idea but they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t envision what it would look like but here you can take an idea and with the technology of today you can turn it into something real and once you

start to do that, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no end. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why something like this really excites me and this is where Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see a significant amount of dollars spent, toward innovation, because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tomorrow,â&#x20AC;? Kramp continued. Gord Schermerhorn, Lennox and Addington County Warden and Town of Greater Napanee Mayor, agreed with Kramp reiterating the importance of engaging youth and how the academy will only benefit the youth, and furthermore, our future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The young people today (are) our future and we certainly want to encourage that. We depend on them to be the business people of our communities in future years so this is a great investment by the federal government,

with support by the County and the Town of Greater Napanee,â&#x20AC;? said Schermerhorn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our young people, they are the future. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what tomorrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about. If they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a vehicle by which to get engaged, to start developing and come up with ideas that quite frankly we would never have been able to think of,â&#x20AC;? added Kramp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is our future and that really is what the Innovation Academy is about.â&#x20AC;? Jeff Barlow, vice-chair of the board of directors for the PELA CFDC, said the academy would never have been possible in Napanee without the collaboration of public and private partnership. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of my great pleasures as a member of the

board of PELA is seeing major projects like this come to life. The academy is such a project, which could have been achieved only by the participation of our partners,â&#x20AC;? said Barlow. He said the Napanee Innovation Academy would provide more options for entrepreneurs and hopes the services available to Napanee and L&A youth will be taken advantage off. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was 51 years ago this month when I started my first business. I wish that some area support services for entrepreneurs that are available today would have been available to me then. I hope the young entrepreneurs will use the academy and find that it helps kick start their careers with new jobs and opportunities to L&A and the Town of Greater Napanee,â&#x20AC;? said Barlow. Schermerhorn thanked the building owner, Will Hodgskiss, for his contribution to the community in being a vital partner for the academy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I also want to thank Will Hodgskiss for coming to this municipality and for doing such a great job in this old school house and for his business coming to Napanee,â&#x20AC;? said Schermerhorn. Hodgskiss, who came to Napanee about three years ago and bought the former schoolhouse, said Napanee and the academy have much to offer to those from outside the community, as well as those within it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It made sense to buy this facility downtown - it had decent acreage, the structure

was certainly in need of a fair bit of work but we were up for the battle and we needed the room. Demographically Napanee has everything going for it,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding skilled trades and location close to major cities and major highways only adds to the facility and the town. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to as a group make sure this functions successfully and cooperatively,â&#x20AC;? Hodgskiss added, hoping the academy creates new jobs and ideas every year. Kramp said the innovation and new technologies the academy has to offer would help build a stronger future for everyone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe that yesterdays are important but the most important day is tomorrow because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only thing you can do anything about, the only time you can take advantage of an opportunity, because what is gone is gone. Learn lessons from the past but be prepared for dealing with tomorrow,â&#x20AC;? said Kramp. The $48-million Eastern Ontario Development Program is managed by the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario.) It is being delivered in partnership with the 15 Community Futures Development Corporations in eastern Ontario, as well as the Eastern Ontario Community Futures Development Corporation Network Inc. PELA CFDC is one of 37 CFDCs in southern Ontario and is funded by the Community Futures Program, through the FedDev Ontario.

Alzheimer Society to study amalgamation Former foster parent to spend 30 months in jail

At its annual general meeting Sept. 11, the Alzheimer Scciety of Prince Edward County is asking its members to review a 2014 feasibility study on the degree of amalgamation or integration to be undertaken by the agency. According to a release distributed by the society, several of Ontario’s 39 Alzheimer Societies have already proceeeded with amalgamation efforts including those in Barrie and Orillia, Peterborough and Lindsay; Cambridge. Waterloo, and Guelph; and Sudbury and North Bay. The study examines the five societies present within the realm of the South East Local Health Integration

Network, namely Prince Edward, Belleville, Kingston, Perth and Brockville. Already, the Prince Edward Society is working with its Belleville counterpart in one fashion as executive director Laura Hare holds the same title with both organzations. Copes of the executive summary of the report can be picked up or e-mailed from the society’s office at the corner of King and Paul streets in Picton. Two full copies of the report are also available for viewing at the office. Members on good standing will be asked to vote on the recommendations contained within the

report. Memberships can be purchased directly through the office or online at the web site www.alzheimer.ca/pec. Click on the “donate now” button and choose membership as a donation type. Interested parties can call 613-476-2085 for further information. The meeting, the local society’s 27th, will start at 6 p.m. at the Hallowell House boardroom (upstairs). -Staff

Fildey sentenced for sex crimes committed against child in his care

A former Bloomfield-area Children's Aid foster parent has been sentenced to to spend the next 30 months in jail for sex crimes he committed against a child in his care. Richard Fildey, 46, was sentenced by Justice Wolf Tausendfreund Tuesday in Belleville. Now living in Cameron, Ontario, Fildey was found guilty of sexual assault, touching a child under the age of 16 for sexual purpose

and sexual exploitation by Tausendfreund in Picton court June 26. The conviction stems from incidents occurring between June 6, 2003 and August 20 2004 and involve a then-eight year old girl. At that time, Fildey was in the service of the former Prince Edward Children's Aid Society which has subsequently amalgamated with the Highland Shores Children's Aid. In addition to the custo-

dial sentence, Fildey faces a ten-year weapons prohibition, his name will be put on the national sex offender registry for life and a sample of his DNA will be on file. During trial earlier this year, defence attorney David Hobson said his client was innocent and the conviction caused his termination by his Belleville employer. -Staff

Pirates reacquire McCann

The Picton Pirates announced this week they had reacquired forward Devin McCann from the Deseronto Storm for cash considerations. McCann, whom coach and general manager Ryan Woodward sent to the Storm along with Nolan Van Vlack in a deal that netted Picton goaltender Brock Tufts and a 16-year-old card is going into his third campaign with the Empire B team. The Belleville native had six goals and 11 assists in 39 games last year, while serving 27 minutes in penalties. He also played in 18 playoff games for the Pirates, helping the team capture a second consecutive league title. He had a goal and an assist

in playoff action. The previous season, McCann had two goals and two assists for the Pirates before dropping down to the Quinte West Juvenile Hawks, whom he helped to an OMHA championship. The Pirates opened up their 2014-2015 traniing camp last Sunday at the Essroc Arena in Wellington. They are slated to be on the ice again tonight, then next Tuesday and Thursday before starting the preseason against an unknown opponent Aug. 31 at 6:30 p.m. Picton also looks to play Gananoque and Clarington in home-and-home series. -Staff

Equifax Canada Inc. is one of 2 agencies (the other being TransUnion Canada) that provide credit bureau and information reports for businesses, large and small including banks, trust companies, credit unions, mortgage lenders, credit card companies and so on. As part of a recent survey about protection of personal data, Equifax included a few questions around whether or not people are honest when completing mortgage and other applications for credit.

Results indicate that, “ten per cent of Canadians surveyed say it’s okay to inflate your income when applying for a mortgage. And 9 per cent say they have lied on credit card or mortgage applications.” There should have been a final question that asked “did you get caught?” According to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation “mortgage fraud occurs when someone deliberately misrepresents information to obtain mortgage financing that would not have been granted if the truth had been known. This can include: • Misstating your employment position or inflating your income or length of service at your job. • Stating you are a salaried/full time employee when you are a contract, part time, hourly or commissionbased employee or are self-employed • Misrepresenting the amount and/or source of your down payment • Purchasing a rental property and misrepresenting it as owner-occupied • Not disclosing existing mortgage and/or debt obligations • Misrepresenting property details or omitting information in order to inflate the property value • Adding co-borrowers who will not be residing in the home and do not intend to take responsibility for the mortgage It’s just not a good idea to be less

than honest on the application. Part of being financially responsible is living within the means of what you can afford. If your application information indicates you can handle mortgage payments of $1500/ month but the reality is you can only handle $800 then it wouldn’t take long for you to run into serious problems; such as not being able to pay bills or worst case scenario, lose your house. Since the United States housing meltdown of 2008, caused in part by lending to unqualified applicants who weren’t in many cases even required to show proof of income, things have changed. We have much tougher rules in Canada and they have gotten tougher since 2012 when the Minister of Finance (the late Jim Flaherty) clamped down and implemented some new rules. There are so many checks and balances, it’s near impossible for wrong income & employment information to get through. Notice of Assessments are often requested. Also not uncommon to be asked for account statements to show proof of employment deposits. The Equifax survey also found only 23 per cent of Canadians know their credit score and when applying for a mortgage only 26 per cent knew their credit rating. You might ask “So what?” Having a good credit score gives you a great deal of negotiating

power when applying for credit. Over time, even small fraction-of-a-percent discounts can save you thousands of interest dollars. If you are surprised by your credit score at the time of application when you’re trying to buy a house it can be very difficult indeed. People are often surprised – embarrassed – hurt. And not always their fault. Not uncommon for people to find something on their bureau that doesn’t belong to them. Cell Phone bills are now reported on bureaus so if you have one phone bill but there are two reporting on your bureau and one is unpaid, that is a problem. Or you believe that a problem in the past was paid off/resolved but still not reported to bureau. Again that’s an issue and it takes time to fix it. You can order your bureau online for a fee or request via mail. Before you apply for credit, it’s a good idea to know what it says. And when you do apply, honesty is the best policy. As always if you need help when applying for a mortgage or have questions don’t hesitate to contact me. Compliments of Ralph McKenny, a local Mortgage Agent with Martel Mortgages FSCO License 11963.

HOROSCOPES

ARIES (Mar 21/Apr 20) Aries, sometimes you just need to put a different spin on things to get your way. Instead of being too pushy with things, relax a bit and let others come to you. TAURUS (Apr 21/May 21) Taurus, ask for further clarification if there is something you don't understand. Do not make important decisions until you understand all of the pertinent details. GEMINI (May 22/Jun 21) Gemini, now is a good time to plan an outing with family members. It's been awhile since you've made some memories together, and your schedule affords you this opportunity. CANCER (Jun 22/Jul 22) How do you know how others will react to your requests if you never drum up the courage to ask, Cancer? Let your feelings be known this week and take a risk. LEO (Jul 23/Aug 23) Leo, enjoy an upcoming reunion with a friend you haven't seen in some time. Make the most of this opportunity to catch up and recall old times. VIRGO (Aug 24/Sept 22) Virgo, you have much-needed rest and relaxation coming your way. Let loose this week and enjoy the freedom. Enlist others to join in the fun.

LIBRA (Sept 23/Oct 23) Libra, an opportunity to jump on the career path you always had in mind for yourself is about to present itself. Do everything in your power to make the job yours. SCORPIO (Oct 24/Nov 22) Scorpio, distractions are all around you and you find it difficult to stay focused on one thing at a time. Try separating yourself from all external stimulation for a few days. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23/Dec 21) Something inspires you to give a relationship another chance, Sagittarius. Maybe it was the lyrics to a song or a segment on a television show, but you are moved to action. CAPRICORN (Dec 22/Jan 20) Obligations at home could temporarily stall work plans, Capricorn. Fortunately, you have understanding bosses who are willing to give you the time you need. AQUARIUS (Jan 21/Feb 18) Aquarius, your friends are great sources of unconditional support. Lean on them for advice as you make an important decision in the coming weeks. PISCES (Feb 19/Mar 20) Pisces, try some things that fall outside of your comfort zone. The adventure will recharge your batteries and may prove inspiring.

“Cottage goers are attracted to the year-round activities, including access to lakes, restaurants, spas, festivals, and the more than 35 wineries in the region.”

Prince Edward County in southeastern Ontario is located between Toronto and Ottawa, making it a popular spot for buyers in both cities and other small centres in between. Prices for recreational properties in Prince Edward County start at about $275,000 and can increase to more than $1 million.The most expensive recreational property sold recently in the region was a five-bedroom home on a seven-acre lot with a gorgeous view of Lake Ontario that went for $1.5 million. About six properties sold in the $1 million to $2 million range in 2013. It’s shaping up to be another strong year in 2014. There were 30 recreational property sales during the first five months of 2014, two more than were sold over the same period last year. Prices overall have been flat and there’s a good supply of homes on the market. It’s a great opportunity for buyers seeking a home away from home. Cottage goers are attracted to the year-
