riding that hosts Canada's largest and busiest air base and plenty of symbolic reminders about the price veterans have paid. "Coming here on the Highway of Heroes and over the Veterans' Bridge, I thought
about the men and women who have travelled that road. I thought about their service to Canada, what it means to stand up for the values we believe in deeply," he said. I thought about their sacrifice and how that sacrifice should
never be taken for granted. Yet for the last 10 years it has been. Mr. Harper's government has failed our veterans. "Harper likes to wrap himself in the flag, but he has betrayed the brave men and women who have laid down
their lives for it." Trudeau noted that 158 Canadian Forces members lost their lives in Afghanistan and, tragically, 170 have committed suicide since 2004.

Prince Edward County officials came away from this year's Association of Municipalities Ontario (AMO) conference feeling positive. Mayor Robert Quaiff said the County brought forward concerns in several areas and provincial officials appeared to be listening. “I'm pretty impressed,” said Quaiff. “I had that opportunity to meet one-onone and they seemed to be open and receptive.” Quaiff said he had an opportunity to meet with transportation minister Steven Del Duca to speak regarding the Glenora ferry service and the condition of County Rd. 49. The ferry service has been down to one vessel for the summer because of mandatory repairs being conducted on the Wolfe Islander III, which forced the ministry to reallocate its fleet in the area.

The hotly contested Bay of Quinte riding welcomed its second federal party leader in just over a week Monday as Justin Trudeau made a major policy announcement at the Quinte Sports and Wellness Centre. In an upper-level conference room jammed with about 200 supporters and media the Liberal leader introduced a $300-millionper- year plan to support Canada's veterans he'd implement immediately if elected. As he welcomed Trudeau to Belleville, local candidate Neil Ellis spoke about the importance of Canadian military personnel and veterans to his riding. "The Quinte region has a rich and proud military history as home to CFB Trenton and 8-Wing. It's a region where tens of thousands of military men and women have been posted, trained, and have served. It's also a region where thousands have returned to retire," Ellis said, adding he and Trudeau had met with veterans' representatives earlier that morning. Early in an address that lasted about 20 minutes, Trudeau recalled his trip into a

Province considers acquiring contingency ferry to ease burden of repairs MEETINGS, from page 1
The Glenora ferry crossing usually switches to a two-vessel 15-minute service in the summer months to accommodate the significant increase in tourist traffic, however, the MV Quinte Loyalist is acting as a relief vessel for Wolfe Island. Quaiff sent a letter to Del Duca when the maintenance was announced in March saying the reduction in service would have a significant negative impact on Prince
Edward County. He said he joined Del Duca and 20–25 of his staff members last week and told the minister about the lack of service and concerns shared with Prince Edward County by Amherst Island and Wolfe Island. Quaiff said those communities suffer in some of the same ways as the county. “From that conversation it looks as though the minister is going to look into what they call a contingency ferry,” he said. “That means that they'll be purchasing another one, if
they possibly can, so that if a ferry goes down for service or maintenance then they'll have a ferry that's able to come in and take its place.” Quaiff said he also presented the minister with a video of County Rd. 49 illustrating the state of the road coming into Prince Edward County from Deseronto. “The minister said it was precedent-setting — he'd never seen a video played at one of the delegations before.” Quaiff said the threeminute video was played for the minister and he indicated the minister's office would be in contact with the County with information about any funding that could offset the cost of reconstructing the road. “His office is going to get in touch with us hopefully this week or next to introduce us to a funding area and we'll have a look at that and see
what's going on once he does that,” said Quaiff. “He even spoke about taking another look at the connecting link funds that they used to have in place, so that meeting went pretty good.” Whenever and however reconstruction of County Rd. 49 takes place, Quaiff said it's going to be costly. He said generally funding for such projects is provided based on each level of government committing a third of the cost. “So at the end of the day the municipality has to continue borrowing money in order to get that third from the province and the third from the federal government,” he said. “We have to certainly be cognizant and a little bid concerned about how much of that third we continue to pile onto the taxpayer.” He said he's hoping an alternative funding source
will present itself. “There might be some new funding found where we don't have to match any dollars and we can just start to get some of the work done because it's in the millions that Hwy 49 needs,” he said. Representatives from the County spoke with Environment and Climate Change Minister Glen Murray as well. Quaiff — who recently criticized the provincial government's reaction to the County's concerns with the wpd White Pines Wind Project — said the minister has agreed to sit down to discuss the issue. “I reached out to him on Friday and we're trying to set up a time where I can go up and meet with him and have an open and frank conversation about what's been going on here locally,” said Quaiff. He said he left the minister with a copy of The Settler's
Dream which details the county numerous heritage structures in hopes that it would highlight what the municipality is seeking to protect. “I told him that, if he had the opportunity to look at that book, it would explain to him most importantly the culture and heritage values of Prince Edward County and perhaps why we're so adamant that we don't want industrial wind turbines here,” he said. Quaiff said he also had an opportunity to sit down with Community Safety and Correctional Services Minister Yasir Naqvi. “They're making some pretty good strides in changing the costing formula and changing the way they do policing business, so his report should be coming out a little later on in the year and we'll see what kind of information that report produces.”
Council approves site plan to allow LCBO build to proceed CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER
The site plan for the new Picton LCBO store has been approved. While plans for the new store initially raised the ire of nearby residents, the site plan was approved at Tuesday evening's council without any additional discussion. Mayor Robert Quaiff said he believes the changes made to the plan in the early stages helped mitigate some of the concerns raised by residents.

“They've been a pretty good corporate citizen moving forward and they listened to some of the concerns and they complied with some of those concerns,” said Quaiff. “At the end of the day I think we'll see a really nice building on that corner.” Quaiff said he believes some foundation work has already begun and he expects construction to ramp up any time. “They're going,” he said. Located at 2 and 4 Lake Street in Picton, the building will be 739 square metres (7,954 square feet) with room for about 42 parking spaces. The building will have a

Foundation’s new executive director has long history with hospital Rolinski brings extensive fundraising background to help hometown facility ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER
Penny Rolinski believes in Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital. That's why the head of several multimillion-dollar fundraisers in southwestern Ontario has decided she can make a difference as the executive director of the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation. Rolinski reasons she was born there — as Penny Taylor, most of her family has received care there, and having moved back to the area in 2011 with her husband and daughter, she has a vested interest in its future. 'I do well because I care about what I'm fundraising for. Stronger communities make stronger people," she said. "Friends, neighbours, everybody in this small, isolated community has benefitted from this really good community hospital being located here. I fiercely believe this hospital needs to be located here, it needs the best equipment for available for its nurses and doctors to do the good job that they do." The foundation recently announced it had selected Rolinski for the posting from a field of 12 applicants, marking the first time it has had an executive director since Nov. 2013 when Anna Marie Ferguson left the organization. Hazel Lloyst guided the fundraising and advocacy organization since Jan. 2014 as interim director of development, with her final day on the job coming today. President Leo Finnegan said the foundation's board is thrilled with the hire and optimistic about its direction moving forward. "We interviewed five people and we picked (Rolinski)," he said. "She's had very good experience in fundraising, she's a bright young lady, and a county girl. She's worked for the United Way and the hospitals foundation in Kingston… I'm excited, I think she'll do a good job." After graduating from PECI, Rolinski studied music at Wilfred Laurier University. She spent time fundraising for the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony Orchestra and had a job running the membership

call centre at the Stratford Festival, raising more than $1.25 million annually. She then moved onto the United Way there and was campaign director for three years. Her largest campaign raised more than $5.1 million. The county lifestyle ultimately brought Rolinski back to her family farm in 2011. She explained her husband is from a small town in Northern Ontario and neither really liked the suburban life they were living where they could see into five or six other homes from the kitchen window. "We very much enjoy the lifestyle and having space," she said. "I have acres of space for my daughter to run around on, we are able to go for walks and we're able to be much more active and physically fit, while at the same time living a relaxed and down-to-earth lifestyle." Initially upon her return, Rolinski did some fundraising work with the hospitals in Kingston but found the commute wasn't for her. In recent years, she's served as a consultant for others using the Raiser's Edge fundraising software. She found, however, that she wanted something more. "I'm really looking forward to reconnecting with my community. Although I've been back for a few years, I haven't had much opportunity to be involved." Rolinski has been follow-
ing the stories about the funding crunch the Quinte Healthcare Corporation (QHC) has had in recent years and threats to the local hospital. While they pose challenges to attempts to raise a facility
many believe could be in jeopardy, she indicated the talk has brought people together. "What gives me hope is that people here care so much about the hospital. The reason people get upset is because it matters to them. The minute people stop caring is the minute the hospital or foundation is in trouble," she said. "There always has to be a hospital in Prince Edward County. We're too isolated from anywhere else." Because Rolinski believes that, she believes she can craft a message people understand that will help the community rebuild trust in the hospital organization and invest in PECMH's future. Underscored by this hire is the possibility that Rolinski soon might be leading the way with the foundation team on another multimillion campaign, that of raising funds for a redevelopment project in the near future. The prospect excites her. "I'm really looking forward to the possibility of redevelopment. If that goes forward, I think it will be really galvanizing for the community as a whole," she said, adding it will be a "monumental undertaking" for the whole county as well as the foundation
board, her new colleague Briar Boyce, and the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Auxiliary, who have been strong supporters. Finnegan acknowledged the foundation was thinking about the process while hiring an experienced fundraising hand. "They keep telling us they won't know the answer to the end of the year. If it happens, we'll have to move into high gear," he said. Rolinski said she is also intrigued about the nonfundraising side of her new position, working with doctors, nurses, and QHC hospital administrators to chart the course of the foundation’s work. "It will be new and it will be fascinating. I'm sure I have a great deal to learn and I'm looking forward to that. I
think this position is a great mix of the fundraising side of things, which I'm very familiar with, and an opportunity to learn more about how health care in Canada and, more specifically, in Ontario works." Rolinski spent two days in the foundation's office this week, taking part in orientation with Lloyst, Boyce, and board members. She'll formally start her new position Sept. 8. Finnegan thanked Lloyst for her guidance and energy in her position and wished her success in her creative writing ventures. He indicated she pushed the foundation forward with several new ideas. "Hazel has met a lot of people and got us involved in a number of things we weren't involved with before," he said. "We wish her the best."

Recreation committee, library branch work together to entertain 25-30 children with their stuffed animals, hope to stage event again
Teddy bears have their picnic Saturday outside Ameliasburgh Town Hall CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER
Picnic time for teddy bears was this weekend in Ameliasburgh. Beneath the trees where everyone could see there were lots of marvelous things to eat and some wonderful games to play. Some combined both — namely bobbing for doughnuts.
On Saturday the Ameliasburgh recreation committee and the County of Prince Edward Public Library and Archives joined forces to sponsor a Teddies and Friends Picnic outside Ameliasburgh Town Hall. The strictly B.Y.O.S. (Bring Your Own Stuffy) event featured some snacks, face painting, crafts and games, and
even a stuffy hospital. One of the organizers of the event was Ameliasburgh Town Hall working group member Nancy Wood. She said the event was the result of some reflection. “I was thinking about what I would enjoy as a child and what would be fun,” she said. “When we were thinking about something else to do
here in the park to bring in the neighbourhood, I thought a teddy bear picnic would be perfect.” Wood said Roblin Lake Park provided a great scenic location. “This is the perfect spot, every time I drive by I think 'wouldn't that be fun in there,'” she said. “So we did something about it.”
For their first year Wood said she believed the event went well, bringing in between 25–30 children and many more stuffed animals. Wood said she'd like to see the event continue in the future. “Today was a success and it's something I would like to see happen again,” she said. Teddy bear picnics aren't

COMMENTARY Citizens tasked with finding better governance model
THE kerfuffle at Shire Hall earlier this month over the way councillors addressed the issue of council size reform simply serves as a further illustration that the system this municipality uses to elect its representatives is far from perfect. It is divisive and it likely always will be so. In looking at Jim Dunlop’s comment about Ameliasburgh councillors not voting for the good of the municipality instead of their own ward, one must realize the idea of what is good for the whole comes very much in the eyes of the beholder. The Ameliasburgh representatives on the last council consistently voted against restructuring efforts. Come last fall’s municipal election, there didn’t appear to be a groundswell of people looking to vote Janice Maynard or Dianne O’Brien out of office. Mayoral candidate Paul Boyd, also an Ameliasburgh native, also campaigned on maintaining the current system. One would think if interested voters in that ward really thought changes were in their best interest, they’d have voted in someone carrying that banner. The trouble with the County’s current political system — besides the fact that 16 people around the table can get cumbersome — is that councillors are selected by their own constituents in a ward directly, so it stands to reason their obligation would be to protect the interests of those people who enabled them to be their representatives at the municipal level. With the wide range of geography represented at Shire Hall, it wouldn’t be too much of a stretch to conclude there are going to be issues arising that will impact upon each of the separate wards from time-to-time where a councillor might have to step up and take a stand contrary to the prevailing opinion. While some may feel their best interests are represented by people who are
living in the same geographic area and are concerned with similar issues, the idea of de-amalgamating is simply too costly to be effective — if it would even be allowed. The concept of deferring decisions to the councillors closest to an issue contained in one ward is a good one in theory, but it becomes difficult when those decisions impact the finances of the whole and the ability to effectively address needs in other parts of the municipality. If one believes that councillors voting in favour of items that benefit their own wards is a detriment to moving forward as a single municipality, it would appear the best course of action is to move toward a redistribution that sets aside traditional ward boundaries and populations. Some might feel uneasy about that move, but it can be done with history still respected. One only has to look at Greater Napanee where signage marks the historic settlements it has replaced with numbered wards. Communities there have not disappeared because ward names and boundaries were altered. An at-large system would certainly alter the landscape, but one worries what that might do to smaller wards like North or South Marysburgh when they’re voting for candidates with their interests in mind and having to come up with numbers to beat candidates who might favour urban spending in Picton, for example. It, too, has its drawbacks as practically any system does. What county residents are left with is the task of recognizing a hybrid system that encourages unity, but still allows a diversity of voices. Gary Mooney’s N.E.W. Plan and Mayor Robert Quaiff’s two-ward system are intriguing as they attempt that sort of change. The public consultation process starts Sept. 1. Nothing will be perfect but perhaps, something will be better.

In response to Brandon Rorabeck’s letter in last week’s Gazette: I understand your concerns, and I also understand, as a county boy, your perspective.

There are way better ways for the green dream to be realized in Ontario. As for jobs, yes we all want jobs for young people like you. But this is also just a cloud in the sky. Have you, or any of your friends,

Seniors’ programming part of range of activities offered this fall at libraries September is a time for new starts and the library is busy with fresh fall programs as well as renewal of programs that may take a break over the summer months. Specifically for seniors, the popular functional fitness classes taught by Jennifer Cobb resume on Tuesday, Sept. 8, from 11 a.m. to 11:45 at the Picton branch. Functional Fitness involves exercises generally done while seated that help improve strength, flexibility and balance. The session is for 12 weeks and classes are $3 each, payable at the class. Registration is required with the library’s seniors programs co-ordinator Kate Konkin at 613476-5962 or by e-mail at kkonkin@peclibrary.org. The Tea and Talk series, which shares information and introduce new ideas
INSIDE THE LIBRARY Christine Renaud
and people in a relaxed social format, begins again as well this month. Author Vicki Delany kicks off the series on
Wednesday, Sept. 30 at 2 p.m. at the Picton branch. Well known for her popular mystery novels, she will be speaking about her brand new Lighthouse Library series written under the pen name Eva Gates. Her first title, By Book or by Crook, was released early this summer and her latest, Booked For Trouble, will be out Sept. . Everyone is invited to meet Delany, hear her speak and read from her newest book. Light refreshments will be served. For many, September remains synonymous with school and learning and the library is pleased to be a community hub continually providing opportunities to learn at any age. Those interested in taking up bridge can learn at the free beginner bridge
lessons being taught by library board member Ursula Cattelan. The series of four classes starts Wednesday, September 30 with sessions running from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Picton branch. Space is limited and those interested in reserving a spot are asked to contact Christine at: crenaud@peclibrary.org or 613-476-5962. Experienced bridge players may want to take part in the annual benefit bridge being organized by the Friends of the Wellington Library. The fundraiser takes place at Wellingtonon-the-Lake on Tuesday, Sept. 15 at 1 p.m. Admission is $8 and includes play and refreshments. To reserve a table, contact Dianne Cranshaw at dcranshaw@ peclibrary.org or call 613-399-2468.
Many library programs that are open to adults are, of course, open to seniors as well at the library. The popular computer and tech related courses resume in October, with one event, the “New Windows 10 Information Session”, being held on Tuesday, Sept. 1 at 5 p.m. This is a drop in session at the Picton branch. A full list of courses is posted on the library’s online event calendar at www.peclibrary.org. The library welcomes suggestions of ideas for classes or events and we welcome opportunities to hold these in other branches of the library as well.

While he signs his missives as the “Hopeless Wanderer,” Kaleb Prinzen is anything but hopeless. The Bloomfield native continues to rack up the miles motorcycling across the world in an effort to see every part of the planet on two wheels. Having already travelled solo across on the United States in 2014, Prinzen currently finds himself in Tompolabampo, Mexico, (a Pacific Ocean seaport town) in a quest to travel from Alberta to Ushuaia, Argentina (the southern most tip of the continent of South America). He inspires his friends and family members be contributing regularly to a Facebook blog called Nomad Moto. Entertaining and frank entries on the travails one will find travelling alone in a foreign country as well as some stunning photography of the natural and man-made streetscapes have made for popular postings.

advantage.” After his friend backed out just prior to departing, Prinzen went on a 30-day solo motorcycle trip through the western United States in 2014 with absolutely no knowledge and no plan. Learning from his mistakes and successes, the trek gave him some confidence in his riding ability, skills and expectations of what might come on a longer journey. “I prefer to embark with little planning, while being prepared for all possible situations,” he said. This time around Prinzen purchased a proper motorcy-

with the Gazette recently, the young man explained he is unsure of what is to come in his travels through Central and South America or even the presentation of his experiences through blogs, videos and news articles. “It is so hard to imagine myself completing such a new, advantageous goal. I never imagined I’d come this far,” Prinzen said. The PECI alum purchased his first motorcycle in the spring of 2013 when Alberta legislation make getting a motorcycle licence extremely simple. “It was a no brainer to take

cle and luggage setup for a trip of more than an estimated 17,000 km. The proper motorcycle increases safety on the road and reduces potential mechanical problems while the luggage setup allows room for all necessary equipment. “I brought a lot of equipment so that I can be comfortable and prepared for most situations and opportunities, as I enjoy a large variety of activities and many circumstances arise that cannot be predicted,” he added. Prior to his departure, Prinzen sold nearly all his possessions including his mobile home along with everything inside, his truck and anything that wasn’t worth much value was donated. He began his trip with approximately $14,000 Canadian although proper budgeting is not really possible as he doesn’t know what to expect and many fees cannot be avoided. Just this week when ferrying from La Paz on the Baja Peninsula, Prinzen was hit with a $460 registration fee which is supposed to be refunded when he leaves Mexico and travels into Guatemala. “I rarely know where I’ll be staying, I don’t know cost of goods, as many places vary, and there is a myriad of unpredictable expenditures,” Prinzen explained. “I write my blog hoping to create something worth value to readers and potential sponsors who will potentially support this trip, and the continuation of my bigger goal.” The ultimate goal is an around the world motorcycle trip that's documented through his writing, video and photography. “I tell the truth and I find readers respond to this authenticity and passion. I will not ask anybody for donations or sponsorship until I feel that I have put forward a deserving effort and created something worth donating to. I may work somewhere along the way in Central and South America if I need to but those wages will not provide much of an adequate income,” he said.

TRANSITIONING BUSINESS Cathy Goddard , second from

For Picton's Brent Timm, it was about maintaining a legacy and carrying on a tradition. For the Goddard family, it was about placing a valued business in the right hands at the right time. Timm and Cathy Goddard gathered at MacDougall Insurance last week to announce the sale and transfer of the late Jeff Goddard's Kingfisher Financial. Timm will be taking over Kingfisher Financial after the Goddard's decided to sell ear-
lier this summer before Jeff succumbed to cancer. “When Jeff got sick we started to look at the possibility of him selling the business and retiring and that process started in earnest in early June,” Cathy Goddard said. “Our biggest concern was the person who was going to take over this business. We wanted somebody local, that we knew and would do a good job, and Brent has stepped up and will keep everybody happy. It was really comforting for Jeff to know that.” With 26 years experience and 18 of it servicing local
financial and insurance needs, Timm was a dually licenced colleague of Goddards and said he shared a lot of the core values Goddard operated under. Timm said it felt like a good fit taking on Kingfisher's 350 or so financial clients and approximately 1,400 insurance clients. “I feel carrying on Jeff's legacy was really important. He's taken a number of years to build a business and I take those efforts very seriously,” Timm said. Timm will be retaining the space at the MacDougall office
in Picton as well as staff. Marketing associate Lisa Reddick and advisor Nick Koopmans will also stay on and help Timm through the transition. “Lisa has been here 15 years and that type of experience is invaluable and Nick, who was hired by Jeff in December, has already shown a knack in serving the needs of our valued clients in the life insurance and disability insurance side of things,” Timm added. Timm will host an open house on August 28 from 2-4 p.m. And invites old and new clients to stop by.

Unstructured fun is effective tool for building social skills CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER
Free, low-tech fun was the primary objective of Saturday's play day at Athol Town Hall. The event was presented for a second year by the Athol recreation committee and featured live music from the Camp Fire Crew, a story walk, a scavenger hunt and more. John Cheung of Toronto was visiting Sandbanks with his family when they came across the event. With children on the verge of heading back to school — including Cheung's six-year-old son, also named John — Cheung said it was a good time to get away. “When you're coming out to Sandbanks, it's mostly for the kids,” he said. “It's nice to have things for them to do.” He said there was no shortage of activities for kids at Saturday's event, and it all seemed to be things that captivate children. “They've got balls, toys, bubbles — it's all the types of stuff that kids love,” he said. “You get to take away all the computers and games and do something a little bit different.” Organizer Donna Kaye said that's what the play day is all about. She said handson fun outdoors is one of the best ways for children to build interpersonal relationships. “We're trying to get families to realize that low-tech play can be really, really beneficial — it builds social skills, it builds language,” she said. “We want kids to get outside, we want to show families that good, old-fashioned play with chalk and Play-doh and balls is beneficial.” Not only were activities like the story walk geared toward building language skills, but also were designed to get kids moving and having fun, she said.

Sharing information with region’s stroke survivors
If you, or someone you care about, has had a stroke, you probably want to know where you can get more information and help. Many services are available to help people who have survived a stroke, their family members and their caregivers but finding them can be a challenge. The Stroke Network of Southeastern Ontario, in partnership with the South East Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) and the SouthEasthealthline.ca, has produced an online database of services available to people with stroke. Debbie “During discussions with MacDonald Moynes stroke survivors and their families, we repeatedly heard that they wanted to learn what services were available to people with

Rather than create something entirely new, we worked with the SouthEasthealthline.ca team to pull information from the existing Healthline site into a ‘microsite’ of information specific to stroke. “It is important to provide information about resources that will help individuals and families affected by stroke to work through this tremendous life change,” says Brown. “We often hear about the need for information related to reha-

Council plans to seek party status in ERT hearing on White Pines project STAFF WRITER
Council will be seeking party status in an upcoming preliminary hearing regarding the appeal of the wpd Canada White Pines Wind Project. Following a closed session discussion council voted to
have the County solicitor forward a letter to the Environmental Review Tribunal (ERT) advising that the municipality intends to attend the preliminary hearing and requests party status. The preliminary hearing is set for Wednesday, Sept. 9 at 10 a.m. at the Wellington and
District Community Centre. The main hearing is to be held there Oct. 5 at 10 a.m. The White Pines project received approval in July to move forward with 27 of the proposed 29 turbines to be located primarily on private land in South Marysburgh. The project as originally pro-
posed was expected to feed an estimated 159,212,000 kWh annually into the local grid — equal to powering 9,097 homes for a year. However, four appeals to the ERT were launched within the 15-day comment window — including one put forth by the developer, who has sug-

gested the rationale for removing two of the proposed turbines is not clear.

becoming a party in the appeals to the ERT decision on behalf of wpd,” he said. Quaiff said with wpd filing an appeal with respect to the two turbines the ministry removed in their approval of the white pines project, it was critical for the municipality to have a say. “It's important that the municipality represent its heritage and cultural values to the maximum that we possibly can,” he said. “Had we not filed an appeal as a party, that would surely show we aren't interested in our culture and our heritage. This should solidify our position.” With the potentially high cost of ERT appeals — as seen throughout the Prince Edward County Field Naturalists' appeal of the nearby Ostrander Point project — Quaiff said council will be able to make a decision on how to move forward when cost estimates come forward. “We'll be made aware of what the cost is going to be and council will make a decision at that time on how we proceed,” he said. Quaiff said party status grants the municipality a number of rights including site visits, and the right to call witnesses and to be called as a witness. He said once the municipality applies for party status it can always step back if council chooses.
Prinzen remains focused on goal RIDE, from page 8
When dealing with the unknown that comes with travelling through lands where he doesn't speak the common language, doesn't know the customs and doesn't know what exists around the next corner or at the next rest stop, Prinzen said remaining positive is the first step. “Everyday, no matter how well planned, holds a reality of the unknown. There are 1,000 possible outcomes. Many good and many bad. I find I focus on the good, and when something bad develops I must look at the bright side or else I will find myself conflicting with my goal. A positive attitude is the most important attribute I posses. I have been through many tough situations in life and travel. No matter how bad things may get, how tough it may be, how loud the idea of quitting maybe present, I push those thoughts away and focus on the fact that tomorrow will be different and the next days will hopefully be easier.” Prinzen admitted it would be hard to gauge how he would feel when he finally reaches the end of Heroes de Melvinas highway near the Argentina/Chile boarder. “It’s such a big goal and an important one in many ways. It's very hard to say how I will feel. Being so far from the goal at this time, it's hard to imagine,” Prinzen wrote. “I imagine it will be a feeling that doesn’t come many times in a lifetime. I imagine I will have the feelings of such joy that I will have no choice but to cry. Real, unwavering happiness.”

Damaged, dangerous, and diseased trees are all candidates for removal
Our trees are precious to us. They clean our air, provide shade, block out unwanted views and are simply beautiful to look at. So, how do you know when it is time to take a tree down? Trees that are damaged, dangerous or diseased are all candidates for removal no matter how hard it will be to part with them. Dangerous trees are those who are leaning dangerously toward a building or an area where people frequent. Those trees simply must be removed. Trees that are damaged are more difficult to make a decision about. How damaged is the tree? Is the damage sufficient to eventually kill the tree? Wind damage comes to mind but also damage from construction — in essence, bark scraped off a tree by heavy equipment or trees that have been buried up their trunks from soil piled around them during construction. Pruning trees is dangerous business and best left to professionals. For damaged trees, I consult an arborist. They can tell you if the tree will recover or if it is likely not to. They can also make the appropriate pruning cuts to a damaged tree to help it recover and give it the best chance at a good shape. Diseased trees are very difficult to deal with. Is the disease eventually going to kill the tree? How would

you know that and how long would that take? How bad does the tree look now and will it continue to deteriorate until it is an eyesore? Is the disease one that will spread to other trees in the area? Is it a one specific to one species or can it spread to other trees of differing species? Bacterial leaf scorch, also called marginal leaf burn is the death of tissue along the edge of the leaf. This condition occurs when sufficient water does not reach the leaf margin cells. The causes can be several; roots have been killed by plant pathogens or damaged by excavation or compaction. Perhaps drought conditions where there is insufficient moisture in the soil to support
the tree has occurred or water is lost too quickly through the leaves to be replaced. Most deadly, the tree has a fungi or bacteria that plugs the water conducting vessels in the plant. Xyella fastidiosa is a bacterium that attacks the xylem (water conducting vessels) in the tree which results in bacterial leaf scorch. Xyella has been found primarily in oak trees but has also been present in elms, sycamores, mulberry, red maple and sweetgum. It is carried from plant to plant by nymph and adult spittlebugs, leafhoppers and treehoppers. If you suspect that you have a tree with bacterial leaf scorch, you can get it tested by an arborist to see if it is diseased and will need to be removed. Tetracycline will temporarily alleviate the symptoms of Xyella but nothing will save the tree. On the other hand, drought induced leaf scorch may remedy itself over time so it’s best to be certain with a professional diagnosis. Anthracnose is a name for a group of diseases caused by several closely related fungi that attack many of our finest shade trees. It occurs most commonly and severely on sycamore, white oak, elm, dogwood, and maple. Other host plants that are usually only slightly affected include linden (basswood), tulip tree, hickory,

birch, and walnut. Each species of anthracnose fungus attacks only a limited number of tree species. The fungus that causes sycamore anthracnose, for example, infects only sycamore and no other tree species. Other anthracnose-causing fungi have similar life cycles, but require slightly different moisture and temperature conditions for infection. Control for anthracnose diseased trees includes the use of fungicides and cleaning of the debris around the tree. The American chestnut tree has become nearly extinct because of chestnut blight. Chestnut blight is
not really blight but a canker disease that is caused by the pathogen Cryphonectria parasitica. Perhaps it is called blight because infected branches and stems die quickly. The pathogens grow rapidly and in most cases continue to develop until the stem is girdled and killed; then they continue to colonize the dead tree. There is no cure for chestnut blight and if you have a tree with blight, it is important to take it down as this disease spreads rapidly. There is considerable work being done on breeding this magnificent and useful tree for resistant qualities. On the other hand, if
you have some spots on your maple leaves, don’t worry. That is just maple tar spot and while it’s not so pretty, it won’t damage the tree. It is important to take care of our trees. Be sure to consult an arborist in the event that your tree is exhibiting any signs of stress. Send your gardening questions to askamastergardener@bell.net.

Dukes drop Cougars twice to open preseason play Prospects build on chemistry developed in summer program JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER
Preseason hockey games can be a fickle thing, especially at the Junior A level. Prospects are in and out of the lineup, some are off to OHL camps and veterans might only make a single appearance in a stretch of five games. That's not meant to discount the Wellington Dukes and their two exhibition wins this season because, looking back on their preseason record over the past four seasons, the club's most recent victories give a sense of optimism. Sure, none of these games count for much of anything. But, two wins equals Wellington's highest preseason win total (not counting Chowder Cup games) since 2011 and that should give any Dukes fan a reason to smile after a great weekend of hockey. A day after nipping Cobourg 3-2 in overtime, the Wellington Dukes swept a two-game set with the Cougars by downing the opposing club 4-1 Monday night. Here's what can be gleaned in the wake of those two victories: n Wellington has received
speed. We've been tenacious and there's been no quit in our lineup.” On Monday in Cobourg, Wellington was full credit for the 4-1 victory that saw them limit the hosts to 28 shots. Shaw Boomhower had a great night, staking Wellington to a 1-0 lead in the first with a shorthanded goal and then adding an insurance marker midway through the third. Colin Doyle set up Boomhower on both efforts and that was a common connection during the CDHL season. “The spring team is really paying dividends for our club and the players. The development they've had and the strides they've made have been tremendous and you can really see the difference in the guys that played and guys that didn't,” Abrams added. After Cobourg's Anthony Salemi got the Cougars back on even footing in the second, another CDHL grad in Aidan Girduckis put Wellington ahead for good at the 10:18 mark. That was enough for Wellington who also got a goal from sophomore Jake A BOOMER Duke forward Shaw Boomhower slips a pass through Cobourg defencmen Robert Orlando during the first period of Falcao in the final stanza. Potter was solid in Wellington’s 3-2 overtime win Sunday afternoon.

Under-14 Eagles capture first SOSA regular season crown in PECSA history Rep soccer squad has not tasted defeat in 13 league appearances into their final game of the season Tuesday against Quinte West JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER
There's still one game to go in the regular season but for the first time in Prince Edward County Soccer Association history, an Eagles team has won a Southeastern Ontario Soccer Association title. The Under 14 PRZ Paintball Eagles overcame an early 1-0 deficit in Quinte West Monday night to top the Wolverines 3-1. The win moves the undefeated Eagles record to 11-0-2,
good enough for 35 points and a margin over second place Pegasus of Kingston. Even it the Eagles lose Tuesday to Quinte West at home and Pegasus were to win all its remaining games, the locals hold the tie breaker to secure the SOSA crown. Eagles skipper Andrew Goad said there was some emphatic cheers after the final whistle Monday evening once the team knew the title was firmly in their grasp. “Going into the game, we knew we would need our best
effort against Quinte West” Goad said, referring to a contest earlier this month when the Wolverines shocked the Eagles at PECI and only a heroic comeback in the last half of the contest allowed the locals to escape with a 3-3 draw. “In the last 20 minutes of that game, we had to come back and I told the players we needed to have that level of effort for the entire 90 minutes and it was a full team effort.” Devin Wilton got the Eagles back to square with a goal in the first half and Gabe
Goad scored the eventual winner on a penalty kick before the close of the half. “We had possession in their end 65-70 per cent of the time so that led to a couple of penalty opportunities and we were able to cash in one,” Goad said. In the second half, Callum McDonald scored a nice goal with about 10 minutes left to provide the Eagles with some insurance before the celebration took hold. The locals have gotten close to a title before including

last season when Pegasus was able to shade the Eagles in the 2014 final standings. Their third full season playing together, Goad said the Eagles are starting to get comfortable playing as a unit. “They are starting to mesh and improve their on field communication and passingThose to factors have improved significantly since we started three years ago.” He added the team has also improved its depth. “When we make substitutions or have injuries, there's
no drop off in the skill or tempo of play,” he said. “There's no loss of momentum and that's a big factor in our success.” Quinte West will visit the Eagles for their final game of the regular season Tuesday night at PECI. “We know there's one more game and a chance to finish off the season in a special way, so we will be ready. Quinte West has had a great season themselves and they will come hungry,” Goad said. Kick off is at 6:30 p.m.

Wellington welcomes Pembroke tomorrow for final home exhibition game DUKES, from page 18
“We've got five goaltenders that are battling hard in camp and I expected this kind of battle,” Abrams said. On Sunday, there wasn't much difference in the teams until the Dukes opened the scoring late in the first. Enjoying a five-on-three power play, Jacob Panetta snapped home a low shot that trickled through Cobourg starter Tyler Lewis at 15:46. Wellington could have left the period up a pair as they scored another goal but Lewis nudged the net enough to force veteran zebra Rick Finn to waive off a potential Dukes marker. In the second, Cobourg was the more dominant and forceful club, taking the play to Wellington. Just over two minutes in,
Brandon Glover collected Sam Dunn's errant volley off the boards and banked Cobourg's first off Wellington netminder Ben Popovich. Just under halfway through the game, Wellington finally coughed up the lead when Cougar forward Patrick MacDonald pushed home the puck, Popovich and everything else into the Dukes cage on a power play. Despite some solid action in the Cobourg end during the waning moments of the frame including sustained pressure off a Wellington man advantage, it was the visitors who took a 2-1 lead to the dressing room. In the final stanza, it was proven that it was not only the players in preseason mode as the officiating crew which included Finn and
Brad Moore, missed a few obvious calls. Wellington, looking poised to get an equalizer late, wound up with a pair of minors inside the final four minutes — a curious scenario given the felonious actions that were ignored through most of the frame. With Wellington netmin der Dustin Myskiw (splitting time with Popovich) admirably holding the fort, Wellington's Ben Sokay collected an errant Cobourg drive that missed the net wide and funnelled its way to mid ice. Sokay broke in on Lewis alone and made a nice toe drag move to slip the puck under the Cougar netminder and tie the game on a shorthanded marker with 1:27 left. With the game forced into an extra session, Wellington
wasted little time deciding the matter. Off a draw to Lewis' left, Wellington gained controlled and crashed the Cobourg net with rookie Shaw Boomhower finally getting his stick on the puck and poking it past Lewis at the 1:38 mark. Wellington's next preseason game is tomorrow night when the Pembroke Lumber Kings of the Central Canadian Hockey League make their first visit to Essroc Arena. Washkaruk is expected to start in the Wellington net. ‘Round the 'Roc: Abrams expects Brody Morris to attend Hamilton Bulldogs camp starting Monday and believes its 50/50 if the rearguard returns or sticks with the OHL squad...Defender Liam Hunter had a pair of helpers over the weekend.

Masterson says roster is taking shape as Junior C club prepares for Empire season
Pirates coach upbeat on eve of training camp CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER
The Picton Pirates will be hitting the ice this weekend and, although it looks like it will be a year of rebuilding, head coach Chris Masterson said it will be a chance for the new group to build something of their own. The club's main training camp kicks off this Saturday, Aug. 29 at the Wellington and District Community Centre with scrimmages planned for 11–1 p.m. and from 3–5 p.m. The club will also be on the ice for another pair of scrimmages on Sunday, Aug. 30, also from 11-1 p.m. and 3-5 p.m. Masterson said with some players moving on, it looks like the team will be young. “As I did some more research and talked to more of the kids I found out there's a number of kids going off to school and things like that,� said Masterson. “So it is going to be a bit of a rebuild in the sense that we're going to be a young team, but I think that's good in that we can build something together.� However, Masterson said the roster is well on its way with a solid group of returning players including forwards Mitchell Merry, Nolan Van Vlack, and Mitchell Burke, and defencemen Nate Kellar and Devin McCann. Merry tallied 15 points in 18 games last season, while Van Vlack played 35 games scoring six goals and 11 points, and Burke played 29 games last season tallying 10 goals and 23 points. The club has also signed county-born defenceman Tye Eaton who played a handful games for the club last season. Brock Tufts will be back between the pipes this season. The goaltender played 17 games last season, sharing time in the crease with Nick Kazmierczak. The second goaltending spot will be one area Masterson hopes to solidify after this weekend. “There's an opportunity at camp for people there.� Masterson said the experience of the returning players will be a huge asset for the team moving forward. “Because we're going to have a number of 1998-born kids on the team, younger guys, it's really important that we have the four over-agers coming back in Mitchell Merry, Nolan Van Vlack, Nate Kellar, and Devin McCann,� he said. “That goes a long way — particularly having McCann and Kellar on 'D' really solidifies the defence.� The club will also have 6'3 defenceman Chris Ludwinski who was acquired from the Clarington Eagles and have signed 1995 forward Mitchell Thompson who played last season for Deseronto. Also signed are 1998 forward Tristan Nugent who played last year in the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League for the Mattawa Blackhawks, and Trey Maracle, a 1998 forward who played AAA in Kingston last season.
“There are four or five other kids who are basically committed to, we just haven't officially signed the paperwork,� said Masterson. Masterson said the club has yet to make a decision on its 16-year-old card, saying there are a few players gunning for the spot. Speed and energy will be a focus at this weekend's camp with Masterson seeking players who aren't shy of being tenacious on the forecheck and who are willing to move their feet at all times. “For me that's No. 1,� Masterson said. He'll also be looking at each player's character with coaches assessing attitudes throughout the weekend's drills which will inform roster decisions. “They'll report back to me and that will give me a really good idea of how receptive certain guys are to feedback and things like that,� he said. “That's important to me.� The Pirates have their first exhibition game of the season scheduled for Sept. 1 when they will visit the North Kawartha Knights at 8 p.m. at the North Kawartha Community Centre. The club's first exhibition game at home is scheduled for Sept. 5 at 6 p.mhen they'll face the Lakefield Chiefs at Essroc Arena.

One step at a time The Labyrinth on The Green at St. Andrew’s in Picton is complete. We are grateful to those among our Circle of Friends who came alongside to make that possible. This team includes those from near and far: Lauren Artress whose workshop our team attended (veriditas.org), Diane Brown who grew up in the County and found her calling in sharing the Labyrinth experience, a couple from the community who came forward with a generous donation, friends and neighbours like Joan Churchill who helped to embed rock, landscaper Chip Morch, Quinte Home Improvement and student, Blaine Swackhammer. Labyrinths are still a mystery to many. Yet Rev. Lynne Donovan the fact that they are being established in connection to hospitals, schools, prisons and public gardens throughout the world is a testimony to their power. In simple terms, the Labyrinth provides an opportunity to meditate which many of us find difficult to do sitting still. Yet meditation is another ancient tool that is experiencing a renaissance and the medical profession has informed us that it is good for our health: body and mind. But I think the Labyrinth provides an experience that is even beyond medical health. The Labyrinth opens the door to the mystical --having a spiritual meaning or reality that is neither apparent to the senses nor obvious to the intelligence. Don’t let that spook you. Another way of thinking about a mystical experience is in terms of making connections to ourselves and to the Mystery we call God. I’m not suggesting that walking the Labyrinth is a religious experience. But it is a tool for going deeper, for gaining clarity, for retreating from the stress of our lives and the anxiety of our mind, for experiencing a oneness with the earth. Our hope is that the Labyrinth at St. Andrew’s will be a source healing and peace for all who seek it. The community is welcome to walk it at any time. We will be holding a series of public events on the week-end of Sept 11-12-13 in order to further introduce the community to the Labyrinth. Call me if you are curious or if you have questions about other opportunities to walk the Labyrinth.

Chappy’s slo-pitch team goes undefeated at provincial tournament Squad wins five straight games to capture Co-ed ‘E’ title JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER
A Prince Edward County mixed slo-pitch team is among the best in the province after going undefeated at the Slo-Pitch Ontario championships earlier this month in London. Chappy's, an all-star collection of local players won five straight games to secure an SPO Co-ed 'E' division title. Team organizer and pitcher Joe Chapman said the key to success for the squad was staying on an even keel and not getting too low when the breaks went against the club. “I think the most important thing was we stayed in high spirits. No matter who
CHAMPS Members of Chappy’s include (bottom row, from left)

was struggling, we didn't let each other get down and just kept plugging away,� Chapman said. “It was a real special moment when we won that last game.�
In the opening draw, Chappy's faced off against a local team, DT Roofing of London and hit their way to a 12-2 win. In the second game,
Breaking Bats of Ottawa had their hearts broken by Chappys as the locals got past the opposition 7-5. The competition got stiffer for Chappy’s in Game 3 as they hooked up with the Toronto Angels for a spot in the finals and it was the County-based team coming through in a slug fest 14-9. In the finals, Chappy's would face their toughest task, hooking up with North Bay-based 'The O.C.' and shading them in the first game 8-7. On the verge of a championship, the local co-ed squad left no doubt in Game 2, outslugging O.C. 16-9. “We were really happy to say on the winner's side because we would have had to play 20 games to get to the finals through the loser's bracket,� Chapman added. Slugging first baseman Mike Lane had a great finals,
driving in eight runs from the left side of the dish. “He was probably our biggest contributor in the finals,� Chapman added. The team wished to thank
jersey and equipment sponsor Wellington Pharmacy as well as the travelling cheering section of Les and Mary Chapman and scorekeeper Shelly Brown.

The Picton Gazette
Liberal leader says his party will continue to invest in Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s military TRUDEAU, from page 1
He said thousands more were wounded and many still suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder. Their families have also suffered under stressful circumstances, he added. "We owe a sacred trust to our veterans and their families," all of them," he said. "It's an obligation that we must meet, respect, and gravitate to." He accused Harper's government of walking away from that commitment over the past 10 years, leaving over $1 billion allocated to veterans unspent, closing nine Veterans Affairs offices, cutting back front-line staff dealing with veterans, and making it harder to get the benefits they deserve. He vowed major change. "If I earn the right to serve this country as your prime minister, no veteran will be forced to fight their own government for the support and compensation they have earned." Flanked by a field of decorated veterans running as Liberal candidates, Trudeau announced his government would re-establish lifelong pensions for veterans and invest $25 million into the permanent impairment
allowance fund. It would also make that fund easier to access. An additional $40 million would go into increasing the earnings-lost benefit. A new $80-million annual investment would allow any veteran that wishes to have a post-secondary education to receive four years of university, college, or technical training to receive without cost. "In honour of their past services, we'll help ensure them a brighter future," he said. The plan also calls for an additional $100 million per year to family support services as Trudeau acknowledged military families make sacrifices "most of us cannot even dream of." He explained the services would include education, counselling, and training for families caring for veterans living with physical and mental health issues.The Last Post Fund would also receive double the funding it currently has to allow all veterans to allow families to give veterans dignified burials. Some $20 million would also be invested to establish two centres of excellence in veterans' care. The nine closed Veterans Affairs offices would be reopened, shortly after the
election, and a Liberal government would hire 400 new service delivery staff, including case managers. "We need to end the unnecessary hardships we allow our veterans to endure," Trudeau said. "We need to replace this cynical, tired old government â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not just with a different government, but a better one. Nobody deserves that better government more than the people who put their lives at risk to serve this country." When asked how he would pay for the ambitious plan, Trudeau stated the Liberals would release a fullycosted platform in the coming weeks and nearly scoffed at the notion of affordability for the plank. "This is about doing right by the people who have offered everything in service of our country." He stated the current Conservative government is already in a deficit situation and indicated that though he is committed to balancing the budget if elected, it may not be something that happens overnight. "We will balance the budget and how long that takes will depend on the size of the mess Stephen Harper has left behind," he said. In response to follow-up
questions relating to the economy, Trudeau indicated his plans for growth will focus on increasing diversity and investing in Canadian people and infrastructure. "The real risk is not making a change to the failing status quo," he said. The Papineau, Que. MP was also asked whether he would continue to support the ongoing expansion to CFB Trenton the current government has supported, which has been an economic boon to the Bay of Quinte riding and the region as a whole. While Trudeau didn't specifically commit to the project, he indicated his party plans to give current members of the Canadian military all the support they need to succeed. "The Liberal party is committed to giving men and women who serve our country in uniform all the support and equipment they need to do their job," he said. "We will continue to invest in the military, we will fix the broken procurement policy and ensure our military has resources they need to continue to operate, not just around world but communities embedded in." Trudeau also took some time to endorse Ellis. "One of the things I
learned from my father is you gather around you extraordinary people to bring forward solutions and be strong voices for their communities in Ottawa," he said. "I have to highlight just how happy we are to have Neil Ellis. He was an extraordinary mayor who served this community extremely well for many years; and he's stepping up to continue to serve this community." Following the announcement, security allowed Trudeau to mingle with the crowd as he exited the room
with Ellis and other regional candidates by his side. He stopped to greet supporters and dignitaries and gladly posed for selfies during a drawn-out walk to his bus past an overflow crowd watching on television monitors in the lobby. The supporters gave offered a loud, warm ovation as Trudeau and Ellis parade side-byside through the lobby. The visit comes on the heels of Harper's own appearance in Bay of Quinte at a rally with candidate Jodie Jenkins in Belleville Aug. 14.
