Its name may have been changed a time or two and countless golfers have come and gone, but the Rotary Memorial Golf Tournament is still bringing in money after 25 years. This year, in fact, tournament chair J.J. Johnston anticipates the former Wilf Harrison Memorial matched or exceeded last year’s record totals last Friday. A field of 1200 golfers hit the links at Picton Golf and Country Club for the event’s silver anniversary and luckily, the skies stayed clear just long enough for teams to get a good round in. “The weather was supposed to be quite crappy, but it didn’t break loose until we finished,” said Johnston. “We got a break there.” For the special anniversary this year, the club partnered with Murray and Associates to raise a bit more money than usual by offering a new challenge for golfers, a million dollar shootout. For $10 each, players were able to shoot for a chance to win $1 million with a hole-in-one on the picturesque No. 18. Ultimately, Drew Martin and Mark Hayes were the finalists going for the cash, but both men put their shots out-of-bounds to the left toward the lake. “We did that for the anniversary and we had a lot of fun with it. I’m not sure if we’ll do it again, but we’re always trying to innovate at this tournament,” Johnston said. While a lot of excitement was riding on the one shot, there were two groups of golfers who consistently did well on all 18 holes. Ultimately, they tied with a 14-under score of 58 and the team of Dan David, Chuck Peebles, Kirby Childerhose, and John Stacey got bragging honours via a coin flip. While Johnston said the club really appreciates all the golfers who choose their tournament year after year, he indicated he was really pleased with the level of volunteerism from the club for one of its major fundraising events. “There were — count them — 28 volunteers from Rotary involved,” he said. “We’re talking about 45-50 per cent of the club, that’s tremendous.”

Those fighting Gilead Power's Ostrander Point wind project will have another chance to voice their concerns this winter — this time in Ontario's highest court. The Prince Edward County Field Naturalists (PECFN) received word this week the group's appeal of the Divisional Court decision will be heard by the Court of Appeal for Ontario on Dec. 8–9 at Osgoode Hall in Toronto. In spring 2013, the Environmental Review Tribunal (ERT) panelists agreed with PECFN's assertion the nineturbine development should not move forward at Ostrander Point. The Ministry of the Environment (MOE) and Gilead challenged that decision at the Divisional Court, which overturned the ruling. Subsequently, PECFN was granted permission to appeal the Divisional Court decision. PECFN president Myrna Wood said the group is glad to see the issue coming back to the table. “We've been eagerly awaiting our chance to appeal that awful Divisional Court ruling,” she said. Wood said the group still has a lot of confidence in the evidence that was presented to the tribunal, and she believes the Court of Appeal will agree with that decision. “If you look at the tribunal decision, they definitely agreed with many of the points we made about why there shouldn't be any development on the south shore at Ostrander Point,” said Wood. “We think when the appeal court reevaluates all those opinions, they will agree with the tribunal.” No development can take place at the site until the matter is resolved, as a motion from PECFN to stay construction was granted by the court.

New Hospice Prince Edward service co-ordinator has lengthy history with organization Moved by service to her own family, Dunnett has served as volunteer and staff member AdAm BrAmBurger Staff writer

There’s a new face representing Hospice Prince Edward in the community, however she is no stranger to the organization itself. For many in the county, Rev. Audrey Whitney was the face of Hospice, serving as its service co-ordinator and a source of comfort to many families since 1998. This summer, she decided to retire from that role, though she remains actively involved with the palliative care organization. Melissa Dunnett was one of those people impacted by Whitney’s presence. It seems fitting, then, that she has stepped in as the new service co-ordinator, the link for many families to hospice. “I was sort of initiated to hospice through Audrey,�

she said. “Audrey helped me negotiate some issues I was having to get my aunt in a better situation for her so that she could palliate in a way that she was comfortable.� Experiencing the care provided by Whitney and a network of others associated with Hospice, Dunnett took a volunteer training course in 2010 and gave her own time to help people on their endof-life journeys. She also took time to help Hospice Prince Edward develop its residential care model and researched other hospices across Ontario to see what they were doing in that regard. Dunnett moved away from the county for a time, but she never lost her passion for the organization. When she returned last year, she spoke with executive director

Nancy Parks about opportunities with Hospice and was hired as residential care assistant. When she learned the services co-ordinator position opened up, allowing her to work with volunteers and members of the community Dunnett knew she had found her calling. “I had done some nonprofit work and volunteer co-ordinating in a past life, in fact I started my professional career that way,� she recalled. “Harkening back to what I did enjoy in past jobs, I really enjoyed that aspect of dealing with volunteers and learning what everybody’s skill set was and using that to the best.� One of the major aspects of Dunnett’s job is assessing the needs of clients and matching trained volun-

teers to help them. She said it’s important to find the right match. “It’s all about finding out what the community member needs and pairing them with the appropriate volunteer,� she said. Dunnett explained she receives referrals from doctors or the Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) to serve patients diagnosed with a terminal disease or condition. From there, she’d go to assess the clients and find out which services they require. Hospice Prince Edward provides a range of services from companionship and visiting to more practical outings like taking clients or spouses to appointments. Dunnett noted that initial contact isn’t easy. Some clients are on different levels than others in processing their condition and many have different ideas of what hospice can do. Each client clearly has different needs. “It’s a delicate process,� she said. “Most of it is having good communication and being perceptive to what the person across from you really needs.� Instead of saying “what can we do for you,� Dunnett said sometimes it is important for her to realize that the clients may be exhausted and they might not even realize what can be done for them. Though some clients and families will not want to ask for services early, Dunnett said she believes in matching them with volunteers early to create a bond before the clients’ conditions deteriorate. “Even if it is touching base by phone every couple

of weeks or months to check in, so if things do decline, they will have already developed a relationship,� she said. In total, Hospice serves about 60 families, though some are not receiving direct service on a weekly basis. Dunnett has spent time meeting with a majority of those clients and hospice’s many visiting volunteers with Whitney to get acquainted with them. Asked about the influence of her predecessor, Dunnett joked she will always have Whitney on speed dial, but also added she learned from watching the way she dealt with the families in her care. “Audrey just led with integrity when she went into family homes,� she said. “Her best skill is she was really good with people. She has a great temperament and nature about her that puts families at ease. I sort of took from that.� With regard to making the position her own and

any goals she might have, Dunnett said she’s still observing the families and volunteers she will serve and looking for ways to help meet their needs. She hopes to ensure all families and new referrals are well served and served promptly. She added she has enjoyed working with the other hospice staff and building a collaborative team approach. Given that outlook, Dunnett said she isn’t planning to do volunteer training this fall, but to simply learn more about the volunteers she has. A training session is expected in spring. Dunnett is also going to be working on starting a grief support group that will start Sept. 22 and run for six weeks. Those interested in finding out about that group or other services hospice offers or those interested in volunteering — either for the visiting program or otherwise with hospice are encouraged to contact Dunnett at 613645-4040 or visit www.hospiceprinceedward.ca.

Ameliasburgh businessman Boyd declares intentions for second run for mayor tecting staple industries like farming. “Wine has replaced canning factories and cheese factories as a new agricultural initiative,” he said. He said he would for push for those changes if elected, but in the meantime is encouraging others to get involved. He said the electorate needs to invite more new voices to run in this election. “I want to encourage

Former reeve hopes to restrain spending and reduce debt Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

Paul Boyd is hoping to make some changes to the municipality if elected this fall. The Ameliasburgh resident recently filed his nomination forms, becoming the third candidate for the mayor's position in the Oct. 27 election behind current North Marysburgh councillor Robert Quaiff and Jeff Goddard, also from Ameliasburgh ward. A co-owner of Gilmour's Meat Shop & Deli in Rossmore, Boyd previously held the position of reeve with the former Ameliasburgh Township and served a term on county council prior to amalgamation. He ran for mayor in 2010, garnering 593 votes. Boyd told the Gazette Tuesday he wants to roll back spending and focus on eliminating the municipality's debt. “We're still in debt and they keep spending,” Boyd said. “Everyone I talk to is concerned about the taxes, roads, and the lack of interest we seem to be getting from the administration.” Having lived in the county for 50 years, Boyd said it's clear that not everyone is “pushing in the same direction.” “Amalgamation has cost us dearly,” he said. He likened the municipality's amalgamation to the amalgamation of school boards, saying facilities have been closed and administrations have grown. “The administration keeps on getting bigger and bigger — that's what's happened in schools, hospitals,” he said. He said the municipality has “lost touch” with local

people to run for this office — either mayor or council — that will push for changes,” he said. He said he would especially like to see more women get involved. Boyd said he hopes new voices will submit their names for the ballot prior to the Sept. 12 nomination deadline to, “get us back on the right path again.” “That'll be a hard task,” he said.

Boyd said dealing with municipal infrastructure will be one of the biggest challenges the municipality has to face over the next four years. “Our roads — I don't know why they've been neglected,” he said. “Maybe just money, but we seem to have

lots of it to spend.” He said that problem is made even more difficult by the municipality's $40 million in debt. He said the challenge will be to get that debt under control before it becomes too burdensome to taxpayers. “Everybody uses the roads and we're a retirement community, so we can't live on that,” he said. He said the only way to

tackle the problem is to spur growth in the county's industries, along with pro-

Costs remain concern for PECFN as fight continues

APPEAL, from page 1

PECFN began opposing the project when it was first announced seven years ago. The group contends the south shore of the county is not the right place for turbine projects as the area is important to migrating birds and butterflies, and is home to globally at risk Alvar habitat and provincially significant wetlands. It is also home to the endangered Blanding's turtle — which formed much of the basis for the ERT decision on the project's Renewable Energy Approval (REA). “Mortality due to roads, brought by increased vehicle traffic, poachers and predators, directly in the habitat of Blanding's turtle, a species that is globally endangered and threatened in Ontario, is serious and irreversible harm to Blanding's turtle at Ostrander Point Crown Land Block that will not be effectively mitigated by the conditions in the REA,” the ERT decision said.

Wood said she believes this will be the last opportunity for the group to stop the development, the only other alternative being the Supreme Court of Canada which hears less than three per cent of the decisions of the Court of Appeal. Up to this point the field naturalists have fundraised $186,000 for legal fees associated with the project. “It's mind-blowing when you think of all the money people have given us because they agree with what we're doing,” she said. However, Wood said costs are still a concern. She said the group doesn't know exactly how much will be needed to cover those expenses. “The other side have deep pockets, a lot of big money investors behind the wind corporations and then of course there's the taxpayer behind the MOE,” she said. She said the group still hasn't covered past legal fees and will have to keep up fundraising efforts until the case is finished.

Sponsors help raise bar for Rotary fundraising

GOLF, from page 1

Johnston noted the club also receives tremendous support from sponsors like Essroc, BMO, and O’Flynn Weese LLP. Rotarian Chris Rogers alone donated thousands of dollars worth of products and services for the silent auction tables. President Rick Jones said the money from the Memorial, which was renamed last year to honour Barney Hepburn and Dusty Graham as well as

Wilf Harrison, has gone to such causes as the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital, the Prince Edward Fitness and Aquatics Centre, and many children’s programs within the community. “We can’t thank our golfers enough for returning year after year and our sponsors enough for their generous support,” he said. Johnston added Rotary also owes a debt of gratitude to the golf club for its unwavering support for the tournament.

believe WARA needs some of the features of those boats, but needs a craft that will be stable in two-metre waves and once that will hold the extensive amounts of equipment the volunteer-staffed company carries. “Right now we’re on the very edge of being overloaded,” he added. Unit leader John McCrae explained WARA would get dispatched through the Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre at 8-Wing Trenton. He noted that now, the most experienced volunteer on a rescue call would serve as captain and decide whether conditions are safe to venture out on the lake to assist. “He will make determination if safe or not. We won't go out and endanger the crew, we're about saving lives and we won't endanger our own lives,” he said. A larger vessel might make those decisions easier. McCrae speculated that such a vessel could come between $60,000 to $100,000, with WARA hoping to find one on the low end of that range. He indicated that WARA hopes to have a boat in mind by Oct. 1. Meanwhile, fundraising continues. WARA has $17,000 put away and it is looking to get to a target of $40,000 before it moves forward. It has been bringing in money through its tradition-

al pancake breakfast and donation boxes and is approaching service clubs, foundations, and other donors. Registered as a charity in 2013, WARA can now also take in-kind donations, like boats that cannot sell. Owners can donate the boats to the association for a charitable tax credit and then WARA can keep the profit. Once the $40,000 mark is reached, WARA plans to approach the Ontario Trillium Foundation for grant money to buy the boat and furnish it with equipment. Previously, Trillium helped WARA upgrade the electronics on its boat and it also recently helped Quinte Rescue outfit a new boat, so there is optimism about the possibilities of a grant. In each of the past two years, WARA has had three calls for service, which took 25.5 hours to complete. Last year, that amounted to 185 volunteer hours. The Coast Guard pays about $165 per hour for those calls, which covers gas, insurance, basic maintenance, life jackets, search and rescue suits and training expenses. WARA provides its own radios and boating equipment, GPS, life rafts, and major boat maintenance. Volunteers supply their own uniforms and are responsible for their own basic boating, radio, and first aid training.

FW 08/2014

Safety is at the heart of the Wellington Auxiliary Rescue Association (WARA) mandate and it appears to be the impetus for the organization to fundraise for a new rescue boat. One of five search-andrescue boats operating along the county shoreline (the others are in Brighton, Picton, Quinte West, and Waupoos), WARA is an auxiliary unit of the Canadian Coast Guard. It is tasked with searchand-rescue operations in an area stretching over 60 km from Nicholson Island to Prince Edward Point and out to the American border. In total, that territory amounts to more than 2,400 square kilometres of water and 125 km of shoreline. In 2008, WARA received a 25-foot Limestone boat, which the OPP donated to Prince Edward County to assist in its operations. According to WARA training co-ordinator Bob Riendeau, the vessel isn’t quite suited for the open waters it serves. “Lake Ontario can be pretty unfriendly. We need a bigger boat for safety reasons,” he said. “We go out there sometimes and you can't see the shoreline, you're down in the trough. You can see the clouds and that's about it. We have a plan for the replacement of the boat, it's under construction at the present time.” In a presentation to the Picton Rotary Club Tuesday, Riendeau said WARA has struck a committee to examine the type of new boat it would need to allow its volunteers a safer environment to offer assistance. “They’re looking at existing available boats in this market area and they’re also considering the possibilty of a new build,” Riendeau said. “The problem is some of these boats designed for search and rescue are incredibly expensive.” Riendeau said he doesn’t

PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY

Looking back in the

Picton Gazette 90 years ago — 1924

n Lieut.-Gov. Colonel Cockshutt was to be in Belleville to unveil a log cabin memorial for the United Empire Loyalists. Students across Prince Edward County were dismissed early in order to be allowed to see the patriotic display. Several troops from local regiments also planned to attend. n The new two-room school at Cherry Valley, S.S. No. 3 Athol, was officially opened. A host of dignitaries were present for the opening, including Judge Evan MacLean, who presided over the ceremony, and MPP Horace Colliver, who likened the new building to the school he attended as a child. n A new factory operated by Boulter and Colliver opened in Cherry Valley, starting with the packaging of about 70 cases of tomatoes. The building was considered modern in every aspect and it could even be altered to switch from tomatoes to other lines of produce.

70 years ago — 1944

n Picton native Sgt. George Wright earned the United States Silver Star award for his gallantry in action. Wright singlehandedly fought 35 German soldiers while defending his regiment and allowing an injured comrade to retreat from the front. The medal is the third highest citation that can be awarded by the United States Armed Forces. n Despite the war effort, there seemed to be no shortage of male labour for tomato picking or canning — in fact, some men were turned away. Many farms and factories were able to find homes to take in help from Hastings County and elsewhere. It was also noted that airmen stationed in Picton were spending leaves from the military helping in local factories. Some canners also installed new technology that allowed them to produce more with fewer staff. n Samuel Wolfe visited the Kinsmen Club and told stories of his time being held as a prisoner of war by the Japanese after years as a merchant in China.

60 years ago — 1954

n A new elementary school was to be opened on the grounds of the old Picton Collegiate Institute at the top of Elizabeth Street. The school was built of a cream yellow brick and boasted an impressive entrance. Page and Steele Architects were responsible for its construction, which was completed on time for school to start. No mention was made of the name of the eventual Queen Elizabeth School. n Ontario Liberal leader Farquhar Oliver gave an address at the county fair. He encouraged residents to contribute to build a new arena with artificial ice.

20 years ago — 1994

n Picton sold two additional spots in its industrial park as the land continued to generate interest. A Chrysler dealership was being built rapidly and council indicated that a retail tire outlet and an accounting firm were also planned. The town also announced that Subway intended to come to town with a retail space in the Stevenson Market building. n The Prince Edward County Plowmen’s Association held its annual plowing match west of Picton before about 250 spectators as farmers competed for the title of King of the Furrow.

Seeing the forest beyond the trees

The bird was upon us before we knew it. There were at least three black-billed cuckoos, droning their repetitive songs from deep within the shrubs and trees. Their presence did not surprise us as they were attracted there by the abundance of fall webworms. Still, not one would show itself for the group of birders I had with me at 7 a.m., so it was time to haul out the iPod. The song it played stirred its interest. Clearly we had its attention. When the recording reached the territorial alarm calls, the bird reacted. Like a torpedo, it flew horizontally in our direction, but its attention was focussed on me. There were six of us, but its keen sense of hearing identified me as the intruder and divebombed my head, missing me by only inches, according to one observer who ducked to allow the bird passage. Around us, there were catbirds, goldfinches and mourning doves. A song sparrow called weakly from a mullein and a red-breasted nuthatch’s nasal song drifted through the foliage of a nearby woodland. Someone else heard a clay-colored sparrow – not surprising since this is deal habitat for them. The previous night, another party counted five whip-poor-wills calling. The alders and dogwoods were buzzing with insects and laden with fruit. For some who rarely venture beyond the living room couch and their own inner circles, it was scrubland – meaningless wasteland. For us, it was a biodiversity moment, of insects feeding on vegetation and a profusion of wildflowers,

and birds eating insects, and passing birds of prey feeding on unwary birds. We were almost ashamed to be interrupting this delicate interaction among the residents who make the Ostrander Point Crown Land Block their home. Along another seldom-travelled road, Dr. Paul Catling, an alvar and insect specialist, had penetrated a wetland with his group. Their efforts paid off, for in it, they found a harvester butterfly, not only the first for this block of land, slated for destruction if developers get their way under the guise of “clean and green”, but the very first record for Prince Edward County. Unlike other butterflies, the caterpillar of this species has no interest in feeding on leaves, but rather, on a specialized group of plant lice, which in turn, feed on a few kinds of wetland specific woody shrubs. It is our only carnivorous butterfly. However, Catling’s keen

sense of ferreting out the unusual didn’t end there; a rare Appalachian butterfly, also an inhabitant of swampy wetlands, was also found there to the delight of his group. As Nature Ontario executive member, Ted Chesky, also along for the experience, aptly stated, “It’s (Ostrander Point) about more than just birds. Those birds are eating things, and those insects are eating things.” It’s a hard sell to the uninformed and the stubborn who refuse to listen, when habitat, as diversified as this, is on the auction block to the highest bidder. At the end of the day, it’s all about money, and wildlife that government agencies are mandated to protect, don’t stand a chance. Meaningless legislation, in place to protect wildlife, is easily altered and re-worked so developers may forge ahead, with nothing to stop them. All of us were on a mission that weekend. There were more than 60 of us present, determined to survey this critical property thoroughly and properly. It has, after all, been designated as an Important Bird Area – the entire peninsula, from Point Petre to renowned Prince Edward Point where radar images and bird banding have documented the millions of birds that descend upon this “wasteland” as they work their way north to the boreal forests to breed, then return again in the fall to rest and feed, before attempting the lake crossing. Ted is right. It is not just about birds. It’s about everything that sustains those birds, the biodiversity that purrs

along, undisturbed and delicately synchronized so that all wildlife there can depend on each other to survive. Animals eating animals may not be a pretty scene in the eyes of sloppy sentimentalists, but it’s life and death in the fast lane – survival of the fittest – that has worked for millennia, when not interfered with by humans. It takes real field naturalists to document this stuff and it cannot be left up to textbook “specialists” who may have an agenda. Field naturalists are the ones on the front lines who see beyond a species’ scientific name, and recognize its importance in biodiversity and how it fits in with the natural scheme of things. How the bergamot, growing and blooming so rampantly this season, was likely responsible for the swallowtails, skippers and sulphurs we found. It is also the favourite flower of the hummingbird clearwing moth, a species that was easily found and photographed. Thomas E. Lovejoy, World Wildlife Fund once said, "Conservation is sometimes perceived as stopping everything cold, as holding whooping cranes in higher esteem than people. It is up to science to spread the understanding that the choice is not between wild places or people. Rather, it is between a rich or an impoverished existence for man."

OPP plans to crack down on distracted driving this long weekend

An additional 10 unmarked OPP cars will be on Ontario roads this Labour Day weekend to look for people talking on phones, texting, or engaging in other forms of distraction while behind the wheel. The extra resources were dedicated to the cause because the police force is noticing a dangerous trend emerging due to distracted driving. Already in 2014, some 35 fatalities on

roads in the province have been attributed to distracted driving. A year ago, some 86 people died in distracted driving-related collisions. “Our officers remain deeply concerned with the number of drivers they see driving distracted, especially those who talk on cell phones or even worse,” said chief superintendent Chuck Cox, the commander of the OPP’s Highway Safety

Division. “Regardless of how safe a driver, passenger, or pedestrian you may be, you should be equally concerned about the number of motorists who risk your life by not paying full attention to safely sharing the road with you.” The OPP also cited the results of a Centre for Addiction and Mental Health survey of 108,000 licenced Grade 12 drivers, in which 50 per cent

said they had texted while driving. As of June 30, the OPP has issued 10,000 charges to Ontario motorists who had been driving distracted. Also, recently, the provincial government introduced a bill that would make fines and penalties harsher for those who do drive distracted. -Staff

There’s room for mix of corporate brands, heritage recognition

WHAT’s in a name? Practically gone are the days when professional sporting teams and musicians played to hallowed halls with simple iconic names that lasted a lifetime — Maple Leaf Gardens, the Forum, or the Garden — and it appears they are soon about to disappear in our communities, too, all because people realized they can make a buck. Prince Edward County is among a number of municipalities that are taking bids to name local parks and facilities as it sold the naming rights to pieces of the Wellington and District Community Centre from Day 1 and now it appears ready to allow the Prince Edward Community Centre to bear the name of any company which decides it might like to advertise, provided the dollars are right and the company isn’t at a loss for too much goodwill to lose face. As much as we would long for a simpler time, it is understandable that municipalities and community organizations need as much money as they can in order to operate — after all, who would turn down a possibility to get more services for less on the tax bill if that seemingly harmless intrusion went forward. Certainly not us. Roll out the red carpet for Coke. Maybe Burger King corporate will chip in a few dollars to help promote the local Tim Hortons franchise. And how about the little county winery that is struggling to get its brand in the limelight, but sees an opportunity by scooping up the names. Certainly they deserve whatever piece of that pie they can get. What disappoints us, however, is that in many communities, this type of practice has taken the place of honouring the people who made the community what it is and, in some cases, actually paved the way for the buildings that are being named for advertising. It would be fitting if the practice of naming aspects of parks and community centres continues, but in such a way that would allow a building to be named for historical figures who meant so much to the community. It appeared London, Ontario had it right when it built its new arena built in 2002 was named after John Labatt, who founded a brewery in that city and provided much for local residents, while still keeping the name and the brand of Labatt brewery. Some 10 years later, however, the council there dropped his name in favour of Budweiser Gardens to reflect the wishes of the parent company of their title sponsor. Perhaps if Essroc Cement wanted to pay homage to H.J. McFarland for his work to bring the plant here, for example, and find some way to name a facility in his honour while still incorporating its corporate branding into the picture, heritage would be recognized for generations to come, while the company’s intended goals of promotion and sponsorship would still be realized in the agreement. While many will be encouraged to use the jazzy, corporate names attached to facilities, there’s something to be said for names like the Prince Edward Community Centre, too, as it instills pride in the community itself which has worked so hard to have and keep such a recreation facility over the years. One hopes that sense of community pride is never lost as we collectively venture further into the world of naming community assets and collecting revenue.

Library welcomes unicyclist on trek for climate change

Joseph Boutilier has embarked on a 5,000-kilometer, five-month unicycle ride across Canada to promote unity for the climate and will be making a stop at the Picton branch of the County of Prince Edward Public Library & Archives. His trip, which will culminate in Ottawa after rallies, events and meetings in dozens of other communities along the route, will be stopping in our community on Wednesday, Sept. 3 at 4 p.m. Boutilier started Unity for the Climate with a commitment to ride from his hometown of Victoria, British Columbia all the way to Ottawa on one wheel, beginning last April. In addition to being an activist, he has worked in youth engagement, film, freelance writing and computer game design. He is passionate about civic engagement, new media and environmental issues, and hopes to continue to inspire political change long after his unicycle journey ends. As Boutilier writes on his web site, “The need for drastic action to address climate change is beyond urgent. The latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report concludes that humans are responsible for 100 percent of global warming over the past 60 years, with 95 per cent certainty. Out of 13,950 peer-reviewed climate papers published between 1991 and 2012, only 24 refute the existence of global warming. The crisis is clear. Without substantial efforts to curb carbon emissions, the average surface temperature is likely to rise by more than 4º C within the century, triggering far more colossal, fatal and frequent hurricanes, heat waves, ice storms, floods, famines and typhoons than those that have already rocked the world with unprecedented violence in the past two decades.

predictions are even more dire. We still have a chance to quell the most devastating effects, but time is rapidly disappearing.” Boutilier sees social justice issues linked to the environmental crisis as well. “I’m calling on the Canadian government to take rapid, strategic and collaborative action to tackle the climate change crisis, breaches to first nations treaties and inherent land rights and the muzzling of publicly-funded scientists,” says Boutilier. “We must demand justice for first nations, a voice for our future and unity for the climate.” Climate Change is not a partisan issue, according to the activist, “and neither is it merely an environmental issue; the impacts span every conceivable field of social and economic endeavour,” he writes on his website. Everyone is invited to come and welcome Joseph Boutilier to the county on Wednesday, Sept. 3, hear him speak about his trip thus far, and to learn more about his project. His extensive web site, which also offers live tracking of his journey, is www.unityfortheclimate.ca

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Council must bring credibility back to planning process

I have a great respect for municipal government when it places the public’s interests first and makes good decisions on their behalf. Unfortunately, I can’t recall the last time I witnessed our council doing either of the above. I know some of our councillors - not well, nor personally, but well enough to know that they are bright people. So it shocks, surprises and disappoints me to see how inept our council is collectively. As a group, I see little thinking taking place, resulting in one bad decision following another. I was surprised to read in our local press about the great upset and emotion shown by councillors Jamie Forrester and Brian Marisett over the sum of $40,000 in parkland reserve payments extracted from the Cottage Advisors development five years ago. This is an example of just how little progress this and past councils have made since amalgamation – 16 years

ago! Where are the policies and procedures governing basic day to day decisionmaking and rules of operation? These should have been established at the time of amalgamation. As councillor Bev Campbell stated, “…it appears to have fallen by the wayside over the years.” If anything can be learned from the Marisett and Forrester proposal is that our system has been left wide open, allowing for anything to happen due to the lack of council protocol. This is wrong and council needs to address it. According to councillor Proctor, this sum of $40,000 was paid by the developer “as an olive branch to the folks who objected to this project.” I didn’t realize developers could pay money to appease residents, and I question council’s acceptance of that money under such circumstances. Neither did I realize residents could be offered financial compensation for what they consid-

ered, at the time, to be poor municipal planning – and then to be promised that money would be spent entirely in their ward. Is this how planning decisions are made? This financial arrangement between the municipality, the developer, and a group of residents is a dangerous president – particularly in the absence of any municipal policy governing such payments. As our CAO unsuccessfully tried to point out to Forrester and Marisett, there could be legalities involved that need to be investigated before the money is released. This situation also brings up a related question. The CAO was hired several years ago to bring order and organization to this municipality – meaning that basic operational rules and policies would be established. Why hasn’t this happened? Like it or not, this issue of money influencing the planning process needs to

be completely investigated and aired in public. For example, who negotiated this $40,000 payment, and how did it affect the final decision to approve The Cottage Advisors development? Council must bring credibility back to the planning process now! This close to the next municipal election, I believe this issue is better left for the next council to deal with in a proper manner. Hopefully our next council will have a few new faces that are not so easily influenced by developers’ money. Personally, until a proper policy has been developed, I believe that all “cash in lieu” monies collected by the municipality should be shared by all, just like the dollars collected from building permits and taxes are. Why should this $40,000 be treated any differently? Dennis Fox Northport

trAining support Prince Edward County deputy fire chief Robert Rutter, left, receives a second $10,000 grant from the Glenn Hall, representing the Enbridge Safe Community Program., to help equip a fire trainin facility shared by 17 fire departments across Hastings and Prince Edward counties.

Enbridge donation aids firefighter training Grant of $10,000 will help equip training centre in Quinte West AdAm BrAmBurger Staff writer

For the second year in a row energy company Enbridge has given $10,000 to help equip the Hastings & Prince Edward Counties Fire Training Complex. Prince Edward deputy fire chief Robert Rutter noted the facility in Quinte West is jointly owned by fire departments in Hastings and Prince Edward County. While the complex is now an official campus of the Ontario Fire College, Rutter said County firefighters also have the opportunity to book it when it’s free and use it for their own training sessions. He indicated the complex is now 30 years old and in need of upgrades as the intent is to build a new threebay garage and classroom on site. That build will be costly, so Rutter said the fire departments appreciate the help

from companies like Enbridge to pay for equipment and training materials. “We can’t use the grant for stones and mortar, but we can use it for equipment and supplies,” he said. “We can buy an air fill station to fill tanks right on site and we may also buy some new textbooks. The funding comes from Enbridge’s Safe Community Program. Ken Hall,

Enbridge’s senior public affairs advisor said the company values the firefighters’ commitment to training. “We are pleased to support the Hastings & Prince Edward Fire Training Complex Because it helps keep our community safe,” he said. “The new equipment is essential to providing the best traniing experience for the communities’ front line of emergency responders.”

The Alzheimer movement was started by caregivers who banded together for information and for support. For many years, helping caregivers cope with progression of the disease was the main thrust of all the Alzheimer Societies. Gradually, however, Society activities expanded to include the person with the disease. It was back in 1985 that the board of directors of Prince Edward Community Care for Seniors established a sub-committee to look into services for people with Alzheimer disease. I was asked to write a proposal to set up some programming and was successful in receiving funds to do so. Not long after, the Alzheimer Society of Prince Edward County was incorporated as an organization separate from Community Care. In the intervening years, the local Alzheimer Society has worked tirelessly to support people and their families that are affected by Alzheimers. Diagnosis is now possible much earlier in the course of Alzheimer disease and while some may deny their condition on hearing the diagnosis, others seek information about the disease and support to help cope with it. Despite the lack of a cure, an early diagnosis provides the opportunity for planning ahead, taking advantage of available medications and making the very best of life. The Alzheimer Society of Prince Edward County operates a support group for the person with Alzheimer disease or a related dementia and their partner in care. The group is called Circle of Friends and is designed to offer a safe place to talk, listen and learn with others. It meets the needs of individuals who have been recently diagnosed to offer education, peer support, coping strategies and information on community services. The participants learn about the disease and discuss its effects. Because of the stigma associated with a diagnosis, persons with dementia often feel deserted by friends and family who are unsure of what to say or do. Circle of Friends is a place where those with the disease can find comfort in knowing they are not alone and that their feelings are understood and accepted. The Alzheimer Society of Prince Edward County also offers caregiver-only support groups on a regular basis in both Picton and Wellington. Call the local Alzheimer Society at 613-476-2085 for more information about Circle of Friends and other services. Visit www.alzheimer.ca/pec for extensive information about the disease and the society. The 27th annual general meeting of the Alzheimer Society of Prince Edward County will be held on Thursday, Sept. 11 at 6 p.m. in the Hallowell House board room. The agenda includes reviewing a 2014 feasibility study on the degree of amalgamation or integration of the society.

PECT director attends Theatre Ontario’s intensive summer workshop AdAm BrAmBurger Staff writer

Over the course of a mere week, Georgia Papanicolaou was able to benefit from years of theatre experience gathered in one place. Prince Edward Community Theatre (PECT) sponsored her to attend an intensive workshop for beginning directors presented by Theatre Ontario at Wilfred Laurier University earlier this month. “You get immersed from the get-go. In five days we learned what directors would in five months of schooling. You can’t get that anywhere else,� she said. Papanicolaou was part of a group of seven people taking the directing course, each with different experience. There were drama teachers, community theatre actors, professionals looking for a fresh start, and even people who hadn’t been involved in the theatre. Her instructor Thom Currie had been involved in professional theatre for 25 years, spending some time at Stratford and now serving as the artistic director of his own company. Papanicolaou said he pushed his students to get more out of their actors. Papanicolaou said Currie spoke about how to work with actors with different styles and with different visions than the directors themselves had. He taught them how to communicate more effectively to reach a broader group. “We talked about how to get the best out of them — not just merely learning lines,and blocking but fleshing out the characters and using professional techniques.� Papanicolaou said Currie asked them to bring several scene studies and the students took their turns workshopping those studies, sometimes for three or four hours a day. “It was an interesting exercise. I quickly learned

ing in God of Carnage in March, Georgia Papanicolaou learned more about directing at an intensive Theatre Ontario workshop in Waterloo. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

what would work for some people and what would work for others.� One technique Papanicolaou said she picked up is “table work� which involves the director and cast sitting down and not just reading lines, but discussing mood shifts, and the playwright’s intentions for each scene. “It’s a very thorough process that some theatre groups unfortunately don’t do or know how to do it. They don’t take the time to do it,� she said. The instructor followed up that by encouraging the budding directors to pick plays that they feel a connection to and then to stay true to a playwright’s script. That was something Papanicolaou said she already felt strongly about. “Every word is chosen for a reason, whether there’s a subtext or beat underneath it,� she said. Another exercise saw Currie tell the students to read Man of La Mancha before visiting Stratford to see a production. Instead of just watching, the group was encouraged to consider how they might stage the show differently. Beyond working the close-knit group in the classroom, Papanicolaou said she

was also fortunate enough to meet with people taking other courses like acting or musical revue and share what they had learned, effectively allowing her much more learning that just one course could offer.

Following the experience, Papanicolaou indicated she was energized for a return to her company. “It’s made me even more excited about theatre,� she said. “It has been eyeopening for me. Things can be done in a different way to get us to a higher level than we are now. It has fueled me with passion and energy.� As a director, she said she’s learned to let the actors create with her. “You have a product you’re going to put together, actors are the process. You’re getting actors to breathe life into the story,� she said. “So many people think the director is god, but the actors are the ones telling the story and it is important to let them develop the characters.� A regular on local stages in recent years performing in Prince Edward Community Theatre productions of Leading Ladies, Moon Over Buffalo, and God of Carnage, Papanicolaou said her studies as a director have also changed the way she approaches acting. “It makes me stronger, being able to better understand where the director is coming from and that there are different directing styles

company. Also, she said, the move has earned applause from members of other community theatre groups who have been around much longer than PECT because it shows they’re eager to improve. Papanicolaou says she hopes to stage workshops for others involved in theatre locally to share what she’s learned, however, she’ll also showcase those skills with some real-world directing experience. She will be directing PECT’s second show of its seventh season, Michael Healey’s awardwinning The Drawer Boy next February. “It’s a wonderful mix of comedy, drama, and mystery. It’s gut-wrenching,� said Papanicolaou. Auditions start Sunday, Sept. 7 at 1 p.m. at the Athol Town Hall. The characters are a male in his 20s and two men in their 50s.

and different acting styles,� she said. She added the week served as a boost of confidence and also reassured here that it is okay to take risks in theatre. “We’re allowed to take risks and challenge ourselves, there’s nothing wrong with doing that,� she said. “That’s where creativity sparks. When you’re able to do something as an actor, then the director can say “That works� or “Try it this way.� Papanicolaou represents the second delegation from the PECT at the Theatre Ontario workshops after founder Lynn Fennell sent John McCarthy and Hilary Fennell there to study as actors before they starred in Trying.

Learn about the pests that can affect you while you are working in your garden

Gardeners are constantly on the lookout for pests that may adversely affect the health of their gardens. After dealing with some wasps called yellow jackets that had made a nest in a

corner of a garden and attacked two gardeners engaged in weeding the area, I decided to look a little more closely at insects that threaten humans, gardening or otherwise.

Wasps and hornets can, in a serious attack on a human, actually kill their victim but this is very unusual and I am very unaware of any such occurrences in the county. In

most cases being stung simply makes people moderately to very uncomfortable. Some people develop an allergic reaction to the stings after one or more occurrences. Depending on the severity of the allergy, medical intervention may be required for further stings. Not all wasps sting humans. The three kinds of mud wasps that build or use nests, either the cylindrical kind or those that resemble pipe organs, do not. If they are being built in an area that makes them an eyesore, removal is simple. Similarly, those wasps that are clearing out ant nests for food may fly around you if you walk over a site where they are working, but they don’t sting people and will leave the area once they have emptied the ant colony. All wasps and hornets are carnivores and eat any number of insects that gardeners and homeowners can happily live without. Only those that sting humans and live in an area adjacent to human activity may need to be removed. Remember that they are predators and not pollinators like bees. As well, once a bee has stung a person or an animal it will die while wasps and hornets can sting multiple times with no ill effects to the stinger. There are in our area

three types of wasps, including hornets, that may sting humans. The hornet is black with white stripes, the yellow jacket mentioned above is bright yellow with black stripes and the third is the paper wasp which can be brown, red or yellow and is responsible for the very visible oval nests that are paper like in appearance and often found under eaves or porch roofs. Because wasps like sheltered, dry and warm spaces, they may often choose to live around dwellings, garages and even garden sheds. They are, as was mentioned, largely carnivorous but are attracted to sweeter diets in the late summer and fall when the queen has ceased laying eggs, so they are not responsible for maintaining the nest. This is when they are most likely to be found eating berries, for example. In the garden the best precautions are to avoid bright colours and scented body or hair products. Avoid swatting at them to make them leave. If barbecuing, keep meat products covered at all times. Similarly take care with what you compost and ensure that garbage is not accessible. Leave the area quietly if one or more wasps or hornets are circling around you. If you ever disturb a nest accidentally leave immediately and find shelter as quickly as possible. In some areas you can find firms that will relocate nests. Generally you can more easily locate firms that will eradicate nests. There are also products that will eradicate nests if you use them at night when all of the residents have returned. Generally these are most effective with paper wasp nests. Nests of other hornets and wasps may have a locatable entrances but the actual nest are often too far away for the treatment to be effective. Given the cost of professional assistance it may be worth trying yourself, at least once. Nests that pose no serious threats to humans can be left as wasps and hornets also have their role to play in protecting our natural environment. Chiggers and ticks are the total subclass acarina of the spider family. There are no effective pesticides to control either chiggers, a larval stage of certain mites, or ticks so it is up to us to look at how to best protect ourselves. Using DEET can

deter them from biting humans. Vets can provide protective products for pets. Black legged dear ticks that can carry Lyme disease are of major concern. This tick, and the disease they might possibly carry, has been the subject of a number of excellent articles that have been printed in this paper. Since the best practices on diagnosing and managing this disease continue to evolve, it is important to check with the local public health unit or use the Ministry of Health and Long-term Care’s web site dealing with Lyme bearing ticks. The only general information that has not changed is the one suggesting that wearing light coloured clothing and tucking your pants into your socks helps prevent the acquisition of ticks. Chiggers are less well known as the short term affects of their bites while very uncomfortable do not last and there are no apparent long-term affects. Avoid tight clothing, as chiggers prefer places where clothes adhere closely to the body. Do not sit or lounge in areas where chiggers are know to locate. A hot bath or shower with lots of soap on one’s return home generally gets rid of any chiggers on the body. The chigger bites and clings on until it has had enough to eat. It releases a digestive enzyme into body tissue and feeds on the broken down tissue. The results on humans can look different but the common concern is intense itching. The other symptoms vary from a reddish rash to red welts to blister or pimple like markings. Most chiggers prefer moist, shady areas with lush vegetation. In a garden they can hide out in leaf litter, heavy growth of weeds or any garden vegetation and even a very unkempt lawn. To get rid of them in a yard clear out leaf litter, weeds and thin out over grown vegetation. Keep the lawn short. Pesticides do not appear to be of any use. Given that I have fond a few ticks attached to me in my many years in the County but only once by one carrying Lyme disease and once by chiggers I personally support acquiring knowledge before the fact. My dog kindly taught me all I need to know about safe tick removal and how to keep the sample safely in a dry container for testing when the need arose. My husband taught me about allergic responses to wasp stings. My intent is not to frighten anyone but simply to inform and normalize the possibility of bites or stings when gardening or simply enjoying exploring the many beauties of our County.

County plans to sell naming rights to Picton arena, hall Advertising partnership expected to bring in revenue to advance municipal projects Chad ibbotsoN

Staff writer

The Prince Edward Community Centre's hall and arena may soon be sporting new monikers. The municipality announced Wednesday that the County will be accepting applications from potential sponsors interested in purchasing the naming rights for the arena and hall. The applications for naming rights can be submitted to the clerk's office at Shire Hall in Picton until Sept. 30 at 4:30 p.m. County manager of community centres and events marketing Lisa Lindsay says in a release from the municipality the measure is part of a strategy to make progress on some projects. “We are relying on naming rights sponsorship to move some of our projects forward over the coming year,� she says. “These facilities have always been community focused, and sponsorship opportunities help community-minded organizations support our initiatives in a visible way.� The release says the naming rights will give the successful sponsor exclusive long-term advertising at the community facility. “This multi-faceted property is a social hub which hosts many local, national, and international community groups and events,� the release says. “Special events at this property can be visited by more than 5,000 attendees per day.� It says the exposure won't be just to event participants, noting that 600,000 tourists visit Prince Edward County every year and the arena is in a prime location for passing traffic.

“The highly visible location of this property sees an average of 4,822 cars pass by each day during tourist season,� the release says. The sponsorship rights include prominent signage within the building above the lobby entrance to the named hall or arena, and above the exterior entrance to the building. “A permanent plaque identifying sponsors will also be part of the new and highly visible roadside sign for the duration of each sponsors contract,� says the release. The municipality already set a precedent with selling naming rights when sponsorships helped build Wellington's Essroc Arena and Highline Hall at the Wellington and District Community Centre. Lindsay is also encouraging those looking for a shorter term commitment to consider other sponsorship and advertising avenues at the county's community centres, such as public skate sponsorship and arena board advertising. Those who want more information on either opportunity are urged to contact Lindsay at 613-3992135 ext. 27 or llindsay@pecounty.on.ca.

The Grange’s mother-daughter winemaking team a force to be reckoned with

One of the first wineries I wrote about when I first started my journey here in the county was The Grange but I just got the urge to revisit their story. When I first visited The Grange of Prince Edward it was basically a one person show. Caroline Granger had her finger on the pulse of every aspect of the winery. She would lead visitors through the vineyards that she loves, regaling them with the loyalist history of her family farm, as well as the complex details of viticulture and winemaking. She looked over the winemaking, the viticulture, the tasting room and sales herself. She was the “chief, cook, and bottle washer”. These days however there is another force to reckon with at The Grange. When I first went to The Grange, Caroline's daughter Maggie Belcastro was home from school for the summer and was helping out but I saw her as a very shy person. That perception was totally removed from my mind when I recently brought an Opimian tour through the county and we stopped by The Grange. As is usually the case when I go there Caroline has the group out front and she tells the history of her operation and explains how and why she got involved in the industry. This time however Maggie started jumping in with her observations and I was completely thrown back. We then proceeded into the winemaking part of the operation and it was now Maggie leading the discussion. It was a motherdaughter team leading the tour and it was not something I had seen there before! I saw a young lady that had stepped out of the background and was standing as an equal beside her mother ... I had to find out more and went back the next day to talk to Maggie. She told me that she had started working with her mom when she was 13. She said that she was the first vineyard crew that her Mother had and that she helped on weekends and summer vacations. She fondly remembered that she liked hanging out with her mom and all of a sudden they were all just hanging out in the vineyard instead of the backyard. She laughs and says she got paid in hours at the beach back then and says it "wasn't a bad gig"! Maggie remembers that one of the first jobs she had was watering the baby vines. In 2001 they had a nine-week drought that started right when they planted the vines and newly planted vines need rain water to survive. So they bought a tank that

could be pulled behind the tractor and she explained how her and Caroline walked behind the tractor with hoses giving each vine a few liters of water. Maggie eventually went away to school thinking that she would never be a “farmer” again. But over the four years of school, she started to focus on cultural studies that in turn brought her attention back to wine. All of a sudden after being away she saw the industry

in a different light and she was really excited to be a part of it. And she's been working with her mom more and more since then. It has just been the last few years that the relationship between mother and daughter has evolved to become full-time in the winemaking and everything that comes with that. Maggie now admits that her interest lies in the vineyard. She believes that great wine is made from great grapes and she wants to cultivate the best possible fruit that they can and hat means continuing to learn and grow all the time. That sounds an awful lot like her mother talking. It is always a joy to visit the Grange when friends visit the county as I know they will be impressed with the ambiance of the winery (from the impressive tasting room overlooking the mill pond to the spectacular barrel cellar) as well as the large selection of great wine that Caroline, and now Maggie, is always on hand

Councillors pass motion to budget for county-wide parks master plan study in 2015 Decision overturns position of committee of the whole and aims to give County a clearer assessment of the recreational needs of its residents Chad Ibbotson Staff writer

Councillors appeared to have a change of heart Tuesday, voting to approve a motion to include a funding strategy for a county-wide parks master plan study in the 2015 budget. The motion had previously failed at committee of the whole, but this time around passed in a recorded

vote of 8–6 with councillors Nick Nowitski, Dianne O'Brien, Barb Proctor, Jamie Forrester, Brian Marisett, and Janice Maynard voting against. While it will be up to the next council whether to proceed with the study, municipal staff told councillors Tuesday evening the plan would be a critical tool in assessing future needs. Engineering, development, and works commissioner Robert McAuley said the plan would give the municipality a better idea of where to locate parkland as the county's urban centres build out in the future. “If you take the new Wellington secondary plan for example, where's the new park going to be located for those expansion areas?” he said. “We have guesses from the developer, but we really need a master plan to tell us where is the best place to put new parks for those

because we don't have the overall, global picture of where capacity needs to be and what those things look like,” she said. “That's why the recommendation came forward — it's needed.” Councillor Jim Dunlop was among those who supported the master plan motion, saying it's important to have defined targets. “We need to have a plan. We can leave it to the new council in the budget to determine what type of plan and how inclusive it should be,” he said. “If we don't have a plan we'll just be butting heads.” While ultimately the motion was approved, Marisett said he feared the master plan would be too prescriptive and would leave behind smaller, community-led initiatives. “I have a concern that, once established, our hands will be tied to that master plan,” he said. “A lot of new

NOTICE OF INFORMATION SESSION Union Gas Limited Highway 49 Pipeline Replacement Project

Union Gas is working on preliminary plans for the replacement of an existing 6-inch diameter natural gas transmission pipeline that runs along Highway 49 with a new 8-inch diameter pipeline. As the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario is reconstructing the Highway 49 Bridge crossing the Bay of Quinte in the near future, they have directed Union Gas to relocate the existing 6 inch pipeline that is currently attached to the bridge. The proposed project will ensure the continued safe and reliable delivery of natural gas. Union Gas has engaged Neegan Burnside Ltd. to undertake an Environmental Report for the proposed pipeline works. The report will detail the location for the replacement and the environmental impact and mitigation measures associated with the construction and operation of the proposed facilities. Neegan Burnside and Union Gas invite you to an information session on September 3, 2014 at the 59ers Hall, 8011 Old Hwy 2 (just east of Hwy 49) from 5 – 8 p.m. The purpose of the Information Session is to present all aspects of the project to affected landowners, the public, members of the Mohawk of the Bay of Quinte community, Métis Nation and government agencies to provide the opportunity for comment on this proposal. Representatives from Neegan Burnside and Union Gas will be present to answer questions. 7KH ¿QDO (QYLURQPHQWDO 5HSRUW ZLOO EH LQFOXGHG LQ DQ DSSOLFDWLRQ WR WKH 2QWDULR Energy Board whose approval is required before this project can proceed.

plans come forward because of a catalyst of some type in the community and I don't like the thought of projects being turned down in the community because they weren't included in the master plan.” Council also approved a motion earmarking $42,000 in the parkland reserve for spending on county-owned property in Athol. The motion reaffirmed a motion of the previous council. Committee of the whole had passed a motion to release the funds to upgrade Lions Park in Cherry Valley and the Glendon Green boat launch subject to a legal opinion. That opinion came back Tuesday, suggesting the municipality could not spend the parkland reserve funds on private land. Forrester, who put forward that motion at committee of the whole, said Tuesday both locations provide access to water in the ward and are popular spots with both locals and tourists. He said that's why he suggested upgrading them. Overall, Forrester said he wanted to ensure the money stayed — as intended — in Athol. “I don't want to see it gobbled by the next council to go to pay debt,” he said. There were those who didn't support Forrester's motion Tuesday. Councillor Kevin Gale suggested council set a negative precedent in earmarking the money for a specific area, and said all the cash-inlieu of parkland money should go into a general county reserve for parkland.

It's a homecoming for PECI's new vice-principal. Doug Callaghan, a former teacher at the local secondary school, is taking over the reins as principal Darren McFarlane's righthand man for the 2014-2015 school year. Callaghan is stepping in for Paul Pickard who is taking a year off with is wife to accept an experiential teaching assignment in the island nation of Trinidad. But as the Belleville native carefully observed the legion of first-year Panthers register Wednesday morning, he was no stranger to the hallowed halls of PECI. Callaghan actually received his first educating assignment at PECI as a business and computers instructor in the mid-1990s. “I'm really happy and excited to be back home at PECI,” Callaghan said as scores of freshmen toured the school and got the hang of opening their lockers. After cutting his educating teeth at 41 Barker St., Callaghan was off to the newly amalgamated Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board office in Belleville where he would take a central curriculum role. That position would lead to an administrative post in the vice principal pool and most recently, Callaghan served the board at Centre Hastings Secondary School in Madoc. But he's happy to fill a role where he first started instructing. “One of the things I remember about the time I was here teaching was that PECI was a community school and it was really well connected to the Prince Edward County

community. I notice that is still the case in coming back,” Callaghan said. “It's so well supported and integrated into Prince Edward County and you can tell that hasn't changed while I've been away.” What has changed at PECI is the infrastructure, facilities and technology. As Callaghan spoke to the Gazette, the finishing touches were being put on the junior cafeteria where a significant face lift almost makes the Grade 9 and 10 lunch room unrecognizable from the last school year. In his role as vice-principal, Callaghan will work with McFarlane to oversee leading learning and work with staff to help students. He will also monitor programming and assist students with attendance and any other issues they might have. “I was really tough to leave PECI but it's great to be back,” he added. “A number of the staff members are still here from when I was a teacher and some are new and I'm excited to meet and work with them all.”

Dukes lineup at a crossroads after three preseason games Abrams faces many difficult decisions as team prepares for Vermont trip Jason Parks Staff writer

After three preseason games, there are still more tough questions than answers for Wellington Dukes coach and general manager Marty Abrams. Wellington won its preseason debut Friday evening, shading the visiting Trenton Golden Hawks 2-1 in an entertaining affair that had moments where the play was intense and unlike a tune up. A night later, a young Wellington squad ran into a more experienced in Trenton and lost 4-0 although that game saw great goaltending on behalf of Dukes netminders Taylor Welsh and Oliver Lafreniere. Finally, the Dukes were in Cobourg Monday night to take on the club many are figuring will take the OJHL's East Division this season and the visitors dropped a 3-2 decision. With just one regular OJHL preseason game left prior to embarking to South Burlington, Vermont and the annual Woodchuck Showcase event, Abrams sees the Wellington roster at somewhat of a crossroads. “I can't remember a training camp where I've had so many different and difficult decisions to make,” Abrams told the Gazette Tuesday. “We've got so many important decisions in front of us especially with the back half of our lineup. We've got some really good, young 16 year olds in Shaw Boomhower, Austin Labelle and Chase St. Aubin and we've got some guys like (free agent) Blake Peavy who is a really good Junior A player right now.” With the additions of players like Dylan Mascarin, Marco Azzano and Curtis Colbary who are established Junior A veterans plus Peavy who is trying to catch on after putting up 27 points in 38 games with the Espanola Rivermen of the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League last season, the pressure is on Abrams to carefully weigh his options with regards to 16-year-old players. “We have some tough decisions where we are going to take the team in terms of direction,” he said. “I can't recall a camp where we had so many players

play so well where it's really difficult.” At the start of camp, Abrams predicted a young squad this season but, as is the rule when it comes to junior hockey, the landscape is forever changing. The only things that seems rock solid at this point is Wellington's offensive core of team captain Erick Delaurentis, Joe McKeown, Abbott Girduckis and Luc Brown. Those four are being pegged with shouldering part of the offensive load and Abrams said the team's success or failure will be determined by what they can accomplish this coming year. “We are asking them to carry a team,” Abrams added. “In years past, we've surrounded them with great players like Mike Robinson and Jan Kaminsky and now, it's up to them.”

In taking on the Cougars, Wellington had a chance to see 80 per cent of the squad that might just win the division this season. With Cobourg captain Connor Armour returning for an unexpected final season of junior hockey and taskmaster Curtis Hodgins running the Cougar bench, that club was already down to about 25 players prior to playing their first exhibition game Monday evening. Wellington got great goaltending and were just one shot away for most of the evening. Down 1-0 after one, Mascarin was setup by Nick Devito and Girduckis about five minutes into the second and the score stayed at 1-1 after 40 minutes. Cobourg would crawl ahead early in the third and then super sophomore Liam Grande doubled the

Cougar lead at 13:24. But Wellington answered just a minuteand-a-half later when Mascarin set up Mckeown for Wellington's second of the night. The Dukes couldn't find a way to squeeze an equalizer past Austin Washkaruk and dropped a 3-2 decision. Abrams liked the work out of Mascarin Monday night and early returns indicate the slick forward they picked up off the Junior A scrap heap could pay off. “We knew when we made the trade (with Trail of the British Columbia Hockey League), it was a gamble,” Abrams said. “This year he is healthy and we are hoping he can continue and gets back to that form he once had when he was one of the best midget-aged players in Ontario.” Taylor Welsh was

impressive as well, playing half of back-to-back games. On Monday he stopped 20 of 22 Cobourg shots while on Saturday in Trenton, he made 20 saves while surrendering just one goal. “Taylor was great, he really stood on his head after we got off to a real slow start and he was equally good in Cobourg,” Abrams figured. “He's ready to take that No. 1 spot. He showed up to camp in great shape.” Lafreniere was also great in the Dukes nets this weekend, earning the win Friday night and hanging tough against a more experienced Golden Hawks team the next night in Trenton. We put him in a high pressure spot in playing back to back against Trenton and he's been outstanding,” Abrams commented. “He's off to Ottawa 67's camp and we will wait and

see what happens.” With new head coach and former NHLer Jeff Brown now calling the line changes in Ottawa, it's anyone's guess as to how the 67's netminding situation plays out, however, veteran Liam Herbst and 17-yearold Leo Lazarev appear to have the inside track on the pair of netminding positions. Down 1-0 after the first half of the contest, Lafreniere was thrown to the wolves after tagging out with Welsh, surrendering a tough powerplay goal to Trenton almost immediately. Trenton would add another power-play goal halfway through the third and another in the late going to give them a four spot. Against a well-seasoned Trenton lineup, the baby Dukes could only manage 23 shots. A night earlier, Wellington took an entertaining 2-1 game thanks to Devito and his efforts around the Trenton cage. The mighty mite opened the scoring in the first when he took the puck off netminder Cole Mahoney's stick and deposited it into the yawning cage at 12:56. Towards the end of the frame, Trenton's Zach Kercz would beat Lefrenire with a seeing eye shot for the Golden Hawks only marker of the contest. In the second, Devito put Wellington ahead to stay when he made some slick moves in tight and deked Mahoney out of his pads for a powerplay goal at 4:40. Devito was explosive through the neutral zone and controlled the play during Wellington's man advantages. “He's an exciting player that creates offence by speed, using energy and great acceleration,” Abrams said. “He can make plays and has these great offensive instincts and he's one of those players that are fun to watch.” Brock Tufts came in to relieve Lafreniere and stopped all 14 shots sent his way. Wellington wraps up its preseason schedule with a home game against the Kingston Voyageurs Friday evening. 'Round the 'Roc: Griffin McCarty, Jacob Panetta and Josh Supryka will all get looks at Belleville Bulls camp this week...Wellington will play the Aurora Tigers in its first game at the Woodchuck.

Pirates expect competition for jobs in main camp DISCOVER CURLING

Picton awaits word from Junior A camps as it shapes its roster

WHY CURLING? Low Cost Great Exercise Fun for the whole family New “Learn to Curl� Program

Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

The Picton Pirates main camp is in full swing as the club looks to pin down its roster for the coming season. The team got in a pair of skates last week in Wellington and were back on the ice Tuesday. More ice time is scheduled for tonight and a pair of skates are scheduled for next week as well. “It's going well,� said Pirates coach and general manager Ryan Woodward. “We've got a good idea of who we're looking at and who we'd like to see in Picton.� He said there are still several players attending Junior A camps and the club can get a better idea of its assets as camp moves on. “First we want to see guys play at the highest level possible, we have a lot of players still at Junior A camps and they're waiting for word on how they're going to do,� he said. “If they're released we're hopeful they'll fill out our camp soon and be ready to go for exhibition games.� Although it's early, Woodward said so far there have been a few local standouts. He noted the progress of Tye Eaton, William Harrison, and James Pero. He said the club's returning veterans also look strong. “That's what happens when they play in the league for a while, they're become dominant players, they're

playing with confidence,� he said. “There are some young players who are opening eyes.� He said there is a lot of competition for jobs at this point. “We're expecting a competitive camp right up until the final roster is decided,� he said. The club announced last week they'd reacquired Devin McCann from the Deseronto Storm for cash considerations. McCann had been included in the deal that brought over goaltender Brock Tufts and a 16-year-old card. McCann had six goals and 11 assists in 39 games last year for Picton. “Devin never wanted to leave in the first place and we

never would have moved him if we didn't feel we had to to make the initial trade,� said Woodward. “We're really excited to have him back. He took big strides last year, he's an underrated player. He skates well, he plays with an edge.� Woodward said the club will need McCann to step into a bigger role this year and the player is motivated to prove himself. The club also announced earlier this month they had signed 1997-born 6'1 180pound power forward Jeff Hoey. The club will have a total of six preseason contests this year. The first preseason game is scheduled for this Sunday, Aug. 31 at 6:30 p.m.

in Wellington. Woodward said he'll be looking for players to be focused and ready to go following the Labour Day holiday on Sept. 1. “We're going to be on the ice a lot and there are a lot of exhibition games scheduled,� he said. “We're putting together a strong staff and we've got a lot of good hockey people around the organization that are looking forward to the upcoming season.�

Ice will be ready by mid October For more information:

ARIES (Mar 21/Apr 20) Aries, exercise caution when expressing your needs. It can be difficult to stop when you are drumming up so much excitement. Now is not the time to take a risk. TAURUS (Apr 21/May 21) Taurus, you may have overextended yourself this week. You didn't realize you had taken on so much until it was too late, but there is still time to backtrack. GEMINI (May 22/Jun 21) Gemini, committing to a daily routine can have a strong impact on your overall health. Consider tailoring a new routine for yourself, and you'll reap the healthy rewards. CANCER (Jun 22/Jul 22) Take things slow with a budding relationship this week, Cancer. You don't want to go too fast and find yourself in over your head. Let things develop gradually. LEO (Jul 23/Aug 23) Leo, carefully consider any offer that seems too good to be true this week. While the person making the offer is not ill-intentioned, you still must exercise caution. VIRGO (Aug 24/Sept 22) Big ideas sweep in this week and leave you with a lot of inspiration, Virgo. Don't get too lost in fantastical ideas, though. Wait a little bit before finalizing plans.

LIBRA (Sept 23/Oct 23) Err on the side of caution with regard to spending this week, Libra. You have to save up for a bigger purchase that's on the horizon, so try to save as much as you can now. SCORPIO (Oct 24/Nov 22) Scorpio, only now do you realize how much you have on your plate. Think about postponing a getaway until your schedule is less packed and you can enjoy the trip even more. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23/Dec 21) Sagittarius, turn work into play and things will move along that much more quickly. Split up the tasks at hand with a friend or colleague, and the week will fly by. CAPRICORN (Dec 22/Jan 20) Capricorn, even though you don't have much time for yourself, you feel compelled to spend more time with others. Make some time for yourself as well. AQUARIUS (Jan 21/Feb 18) Aquarius, you secretly enjoy when others come to you for advice. Think carefully before making any suggestions, and your friends will be more appreciative because of it. PISCES (Feb 19/Mar 20) Now is the time to further your studies, Pisces. Figure out how to finance a return to school and make the most of the opportunity.

honoured helmsman Wellington Dukes head coach and general manager Marty Abrams said he was pleased to accept Hockey Canada’s call to coach Team Canada East this December. (Gazette file photo)

Dukes bench boss named to lead Team Canada East Hockey Canada selects Abrams for fourth year at World Junior A Challenge Jason Parks

Staff writer

Team Canada East is going back to the well in Wellington to try and find success at the World Junior A Challenge. Hockey Canada announced Monday that Wellington Dukes coach Marty Abrams would be the bench boss of Team Canada East at the international showcase tournament later this winter in Kindersley, Saskatchewan. Abrams will make his fourth appearance with Canada East at the World Junior A Challenge, having served as an assistant coach in 2006, and general manager in 2007, 2008 and 2009. Abrams won silver in 2006 and 2007, and bronze in 2008. Having never won the gold medal, Team East has managed five medals in the eight-year history of the event. But after a pair of finals appearances in 2010 (when the club was backstopped by then Dukes netminder Jordan Ruby) and 2011 the allstar team that selects players from Junior A leagues in Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes have not performed well and have been unable to medal. Abrams will be joined by assistant coaches Mark

Grady (head coach, Smith Falls Bears, Central Canada Hockey League), Marc Lafleur (head coach, Kirkland Lake Gold Miners, Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League) and Troy Ryan (head coach and general manager, Campbellton Tigers, Maritime Hockey League). It's a huge honour any time where you are asked to be involved in a Hockey Canada operation,” Abrams said. “When Hockey Canada and the Canadian Junior Hockey League come calling, it's significant.” A notch below the annual Christmas-time World Junior Hockey Championship tournament, the World Junior A Challenge is growing in leaps and bounds in terms of producing an impressive alumni list. Kyle Turris, Alex Burmistrov, Nail Yakupov, Nikita Filatov, Joe Colborne and Dmitri Kulikov are among regular NHL players that have played in the tournament. In the 2014 NHL entry draft, a total of 23 WJAC alumni were selected by NHL clubs. The event will be played at Kindersley's West Central Events Centre and runs Dec. 14-20.

Clippers draw record numbers for basketball house leagues

Interest in basketball is growing locally and the County Clippers have the numbers to prove it. The organization has maxed out registration for its senior (Grades 6-8) and junior (Grades 3-5) leagues and has limited space available for the novice (Kindergarten to Grade 2) league

for this fall session, which runs Wednesday nights at PECI. To sign up a player for the novice league or to get on a waiting list for the other categories, please email countyclippers@hotmail.com. -Staff

Data shows employment declining in rural Ontario since mid-2012 Agriculture, construction up, other sectors down Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

A recent comparison in employment rates between urban and rural Ontario seems to point to some congruence between the two. The Rural Ontario Institute recently released their second set of 2014 Focus on Rural Ontario fact sheets, which shed some light on employment trends across the province. The sheets look at employment rates and trends in rural Ontario, the province as a whole,

and the urban centres. Rural Ontario Institute director of policy and stakeholder engagement Norman Ragetlie says in a release from the organization the proportions of employment between urban and rural are similar throughout Ontario. “The proportion of people with a job is about the same in both urban and rural areas, and that's different than other provinces, where non-metro employment rates are almost always lower," says Ragetlie. “The data also shows that numbers of people employed in the agriculture and construction sectors have been growing

Sealed tenders on forms supplied will be received in plainly marked envelopes, by the County Clerk at Shire Hall, 332 Picton Main Street, Picton Ontario K0K 2T0 until:

recently while wholesale/retail trade and accommodation and food service sectors have been shrinking.” In other provinces, typically rural employment rates are lower than urban employment rates. For both rural and urban males ages 25–54, the fact sheets says employment rates are four percentage points lower than in the early 2000s. The Focus on Rural Ontario fact sheets use Statistics Canada data and are the second of a six-part series, the release says. The series profiles key facts and figures on population change, immigration and

migration patters, youth employment, and economic trends. Ragetlie says much of rural Ontario saw a decline in employment insurance claims, pointing to less unemployment over the last year and a downward trend since the economic downturn of 2009-2010. “The majority of nonmetro census divisions saw a decline in the number of people collecting EI between May of this year and May of last year, but not all areas experienced this positive trend,” he says. The sheets say that in rural census divisions from

while, long-term patterns indicate total employment in rural Ontario has been generally flat since 2004. The release says the nonprofit organization is analyzing the statistics in an effort to help the province's organizations build a better understanding of key demographic and economic trends affecting rural Ontario.

Special thanks to everyone in the community who made her last few months with us so special (Picton United Church, the UCW, her fellow golfers, nurses, bridge club and her many friends who were so dear to her). Gone but never forgotten will be her quick wit, sound advice and sense of humour.

How do you thank someone for giving you back your life? To our fine firemen who performed CPR and rushed so quickly to my assistance after my heart attack. Thanks to the bystanders who called for help and stayed with my wife. thanks to the paramedics, staff of Picton Hospital for their care, the ambulance staff and doctor who rode with me to Kingston. The medical treatment I received at KGH was the finest. As a result of all this help I am back home with my family. Carl Stacey

ARNOLD HENNESSY

Passed away peacefully on August 20, 2014 at the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital in his 88th year, predeceased by his wife, Grace Mae Lindensmith (2003). Arnold was the last surviving child of the fourteen children of Jasper and Martha (White) Hennessy of Picton Ontario. He was the beloved father of Ruth Bailey Dorland (John Dorland) of Kingston and Gordon Hennessy (Nancy Piller) of Panama. He greatly loved and was tremendously proud of his four grandchildren, April Hennessy (Chris Gillies) Kingston, Kate Dorland (Philip Troop) Ottawa, Alexandra Dorland, Ottawa and Taylor Hennessy, Houston Texas. Arnold was delighted at the birth of two great-grandchildren in 2013; Gavin Dorland (Kate & Phil) and Ava Gilles (April & Chris). He will be remembered and sadly missed by his numerous nieces and nephews as well as his friends, especially his loyal and caring friend and companion Lucy Joyce. Born in the family home on Schoharie Road he worked on the family farm and later for his older brother Findlay on his farm. At the age of 16 he moved to Toronto with his brother Peter and sisters Blanch and Effie. He joined the Canadian Army and for a brief time was stationed at Petawawa. He returned to Toronto where he worked in a number of factories including Acme Farmers Dairy. With a strong will and love of learning Arnold strove to improve himself by taking night courses and eventually completed studies to earn a Second Class Stationary Engineer’s Certificate. With his wife and two children he moved to Napanee in 1957 to take up the position of head

engineer at the then Acme Farmers Dairy plant, later Pet Milk and eventually became the Plant Manager. He continued there until 1966 when the family moved back to Toronto where Arnold work for Jenny Lynn Chocolate and later Laura Secord Chocolates. In 1969 Arnold, with his wife and son, moved to Wellington Ontario where he established a home building business with his brother Findlay. With his son, Gordon, he later founded Neighbourhood Homes and built houses and apartments in Prince Edward County. During his time as a builder he became very interested, some would say obsessed, with developing a more energy efficient, and trouble free toilet. With much perseverance he developed several patented toilet models, the most revolutionary being the flapperless tip-bucket model. Working with his nephew Philip Hennessy he continued to improve the toilet and in 2008, along with Philip was recognized with the Ernest C. Manning Innovation Award. The toilet and subsequent improved models are sold in Canada, the USA, Mexico, China, Thailand and Spain. One of Arnold’s most enjoyed pastime was fishing and hunting especially at the hunting camp near Lake Mazinaw. He enjoyed the quiet of the woods, the beauty of nature and the camaraderie of family and good friends. Arnold has been a resident of the Manor on Loyalist Parkway Residence in Picton for the past three years where he continued to enjoy visits from relatives, friends and make new acquaintances. Arnold strove to make a positive difference in world. With the many home building projects and the innovative toilets he has left his mark on the landscape. With his love and support of his immediate family and many nephews, nieces and friends, he has left his mark on the lives of all who knew him. Funeral Service was held at the Ainsworth Funeral Home, 288 Noxon Ave Wellington, on August 23rd at 2:30 p.m. Friends visited with the family prior to the funeral, starting at 1:00 p.m. Interment at the Wellington Cemetery Donations in his honour may be made to Dalit Freedom Network Canada (for the work of Paul Willoughby), San Damiano Foundation, the Alzheimer Society, or a charity of your choice.

Mayoral candidates debate merits of considering smaller council size Quaiff, Goddard express interest in bringing issue back to the table for consideration by new council, Boyd prefers current system Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

Council size is shaping up to be an issue again in this fall's election. In the 2010 municipal election voters were asked via a question on the ballot whether they would be in favour of council conducting a public consultation process to review the size of council. Of the 10,614 ballots cast, 9,381 voted on the question. Of that 9,381, 7,578 voted yes to the question — a total of over 80 per cent. The 47.37 per cent voter turnout fell short of

the necessary 50 per cent to make the question binding. Since then the issue has been a divisive one on council, one that culminated with the recommendation of the Citizens' Assembly to reduce council from 15 members to 10 plus the mayor and the subsequent defeat of a proposal to alter ward boundaries to achieve that goal. Current North Marysburgh councillor and mayoral candidate Robert Quaiff stated his position on the topic in a recent media release. Quaiff said in the release

if elected he will ensure the issue of council size is dealt with by council within the first year of the new term. Quaiff explained his March 2014 decision to vote against a four-ward proposal to reduce council, saying he had continually supported downsizing efforts throughout the last term but believed the plan to be hastily prepared. “Earlier this year I attended town forum sessions about this issue in three wards. I learned that there is great public support for having a smaller council,” he said. “Howev-

er, Jonathan Rose and our citizens' forum did not have a mandate to advise council how we could achieve that, and there is widespread public opposition to changing our historic ward boundaries.” Quaiff said the fourward proposal would have moved Lake-on-the-Mountain from his ward, which prompted his vote against even though he supported the council reduction. “There are better ways of reducing council size and getting equitable representation, without changing ward boundaries,” he said. He said he regrets not pushing the issue earlier in the current term and hoped the Citizens' Assembly could resolve it. “Unfortunately that scenario did not unfold as some of us had expected,” said Quaiff. Fellow mayoral candidate Jeff Goddard said “without question” he too would push for a smaller council if elected. “I'm very much interested in reducing council,” he said. “Like most county residents I was upset last year when they paid to have a specialist and then they

totally disregarded it.” Goddard said he'd like to see a size of about seven or eight councillors, but said it would have to be done in a way so that it doesn't affect the 10 traditional ward boundaries of Prince Edward County. “I'd like to reduce council, but I'm not so certain about the ward boundaries at this point in time,” he said. “We could amalgamate wards for councillor purposes maybe without changing the ward boundaries.” Goddard said he agrees with the 7,578 ballots cast in favour of looking at the size of council. He said he doesn't believe it's appropriate for council to, “vote on their own jobs.” “Council voted against reducing council size, it means half of us aren't going to have a job here,” he said. “… I don't know how else to do it, but it didn't sit right with me that they ordered the survey and disregarded it.” Paul Boyd, also running for the mayor's position in 2014, said he doesn't believe council size is a pressing issue. “I don't think the size has changed in the last 50

years and it seems to work pretty well,” he said. “I don't know what the problem is as to why they think it's too big and I don't know how you'd cut it up.” Boyd said he'd support a smaller council if it would save taxpayers money, but he said he doesn't believe that would be the case as fewer councillors doing more work would likely be paid more. “It's certainly not high on my list at this time and there's nothing we can do about it for four years,” he said. “If it would save money, yes, but I don't think it will.” Boyd said only 47 per cent of the population voted on the ballot question, meaning only about 34 per cent of eligible voters were in favour of starting a review process. “I don't think there was an overwhelming urge that council needed to be changed — council did the right thing,” he said. He said he wouldn't be in favour of any plan that would change ward boundaries and said it was a contentious issue among residents. “They'd have to stay the

County transportation survey planned

The County Community Foundation (CCF) and its partners are interested in learning how people get around in this municipality. Following up on its 2013 Vital Signs report, which listed transportation as an area of concern and a potential barrier to prosperity, the CCF is proposing a survey to examine the potential need for improved transit services. Board member Lenny Epstein is the co-chair of a working group looking at the issue. He said that the survey could be used to gauge where the community is at and where it may need to head. “The survey is about

making sure that we have concrete and accurate information that can be shared openly. We hope this data will help our community by giving us knowledge that can lead us toward the next steps.” The CCF plans to distribute the survey over the next two months on paper and online with a launch scheduled for the Picton Fair Sept. 5-7. Following the fair, the survey will be available online at the address www.surveymonkey.com/s/SPR3SSK. Epstein indicated the survey should take between 510 minutes to complete, but should have an impact for years to come. The working gruop does not just include CCF members, but actually takes in a wide range of professionals from the community, includ-

ing representatives from Career Edge, the County, Community Care For Seniors, Community living, Loyalist College, Deseronto Transit, PELA CFDC, PELA Social Services, the Prince Edward District Women’s Institute, the United Way, ROC, Youth Unlimited and more partners. Brian Beiles, the board member who spearheaded the Vital Sign report said the survey is one step in the process to find solid data that identifies community needs. Of the key issues identified in Vital Signs, the working group identified transportation along with food insecurity and learning as its priorities at this time. Council has provided some financial support to help the work progress.

A neighbouring community is sounding the alarm about its 911 service being bogged down with dropped calls. The Quinte West OPP issued a release this week saying that since January, it has responded to 621 dropped 911 calls, many it chalks up to pocket dials from cell phones or from children playing. The calls become time consuming as each time, the location of the call is traced. The calls take priority over other business and two police offi-

cers are required to attend. Police are reminding people that if they accidentally call 911, they should stay on the line and provide information so that dispatchers can clear the call and be available for emergency calls. They suggest that 911 should not be programmed into cell phones as it is easily dialed and that charged cell phones should not be given to children to play with.

Increased enforcement planned for Hwy 401

Drivers looking to travel this weekend are advised there will be extra OPP enforcement on Hwy 401 between Belleville and Kingston. While the OPP always has a heightened presence on holiday weekends, the Napanee detachment is advising motorists that it will be focusing in and around construction areas on the highway within its

jurisdiction. Staff Sgt. Scott Semple explains that over the past month, those areas have proven dangerous as there have been eight serious crashes, five involving commercial vehicles. ““The speed limit leading into and in most construction zones has been reduced to 80 kilometres per hour to ensure the safety of the motoring public

The Prince Edward County Studio Tour can boast that its collaborative project 26 Atlantic Crossings was a hit on this side of the pond. Teaming up with the United Kingdom-based literary society 26, the studio tour members were asked to submit a piece of work, then have a member of the society write a 62-word composition ( a reflection of 26) known as a sestude based on what they saw. This weekend, they opened the Canadian exhibit of the work at Books & Company and welcomed a steady stream of visitors curious to see the work. Several of the artists involved indicated they were thrilled to see their work used as inspiration. David Drown of Wellington Pottery didn’t even have one of his own pieces in the show — his partner Maggie Murdoch entered a whimsical sculpture entitled “Inspiration” that featured a collection of colourful toadstools and plants — but said he felt the excitement in the activity. “I love working with other artists, being inspired

by and drawing inspiration from other artists. This time it was the other way around and we got to provide the inspiration for someone else,” he said. “It was a wonderful opportunity and we got on it right away.” Drown said having work delivered to someone working in an entirely different medium gives a chance to see back through someone else’s eyes and their interpretation of the colour, texture, and form of the piece in question. While saying he really enjoyed the piece author Jill Hopper wrote about Murdoch’s sculpture — a piece that was quite descriptive in nature and featured a series of juxtapositions about the nature of

the toadstools —but added it would be something to actually have the author there to read her composition and put in the pacing and emphasis she envisioned while writing. “The way things are written are not always the way I would read them,” Drown said, adding obviously geography is a limiting factor. Drown added he found the compositions mixed in that some authors focused more on the piece, like they did with Murdoch’s, while others focused on the title. Also, he said, in many cases the style of writing seemed to match the type of art. “When the piece is abstract, the writing is abstract. When it is more defined by the title, the author seems to be more defined in their writing.” Drown said he and Murdoch elected to save communcating with Hopper about the pieces until after the show so they had a chance to see reactions. He indicated Saturday night they’d likely sit at the laptop and type out a message. Asked if he’d participate again, he said “In a heartbeat:” adding he hoped that the studio tour’s first foray into such a project wouldn’t be its last. Iris Casey knew when she heard about the idea of such a project that she wanted to have a part of it. Her art is working with her hands using wire and mosaics to create sculptures. Many are of living things like birds, or even people, and most are 3D. She felt her medium would translate well as an author could give one of her birds life through an interesting story. “As soon as I got the email, I responded right away. I thought what a fabulous idea, just being connected across the ocean for one thing with an author who is going to put something together. I thought

they were doing a written piece, but I didn’t know it was limited to 62 words. I don’t know that I could do something like that. It’s really interesting.” Casey picked a sculpture of a raptor, one of her biggest birds of prey because she felt it would lend well to the project. “I wanted something that had emotion and any kind of raptor always has that,” she said. “I wanted a big bird as most of the birds are fairly small. It was something that would have a bit of an impact.” Author Tom Collins took that sculpture and was able to write a piece full of emotion in a bit of a choppy staccato style. “Mercy killer without mercy. Hunter. Dropping silent. Fast. Faster. Talons Primed. Raptor, sweet bird of death,” was the language he used to start his sestude titled Raptor. The composition talks about the brutal reality of the animal world, how the hunter simply goes about getting the job done to ensure it can eat. Casey said she had no idea what to expect, but felt Collins nailed it with his concept. “The raw imagery is just wonderful,” Casey said. “He drew on a feel of the raptor, death, eating to survive, that killing blood sort of thing. It’s a little gory, but that’s what a raptor does — it spirals down and it attacks.” While Casey said she felt the show would have drawn interest no matter where the artists and authors were from, she felt it had a little more allure given the fact that there’s an ocean between the two groups. “There’s more of an impact when the authors are from away and they don’t know the artists. There’s no preconceived notion about what they intended with their work.” Casey noted that she has communicated a bit with Collins, though not as much as some of the other authors she learned about. She was also planning to write something in the wake of the show. “I intend to write him back and tell him how wonderful the opening was and what kind of response we’ve had,” she said. In communication with Collins, Casey said she noticed that 26 is involved in a number of other sestude writing activities and it looks like it is becoming a popular activity there. She speculated that it might catch on in Canada and hopefully will, particularly around the county. “It may be a big thing over there and I hope it will be here too,” she said. Most of the pieces in the show were for sale and the sales included copies of the sestudes that added another dimension to the art. Casey said she felt the show was also a nice way to remind the public about all the talented artists that are in the county in advance of the actual studio tour, which will take place Sept. 19-21. A future exhibition of the work is also planned for the United Kingdom.

Fully-furnished dollhouse to be raffled for hospital Wellington-on-theLake club adds several unique features to home

A stately Prince Edward County home is about to go on the market and it may be had for as little as $5. That’s a pretty good price, even when one considers the home is a fully-furnished Lilliput dollhouse. In July, the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation found itself with the deed to such a home, courtesy of Picton resident Louise Conley. They decided that it could fetch some good money in a raffle draw, provided they did some necessary maintenance before listing the property. The Wellington-on-theLake Woodcrafters quickly set to the task as they added extensive upgrades, new furnishings, and an elegant gazebo complete with gingerbread trim, a walkway and gardens. They even managed to craft a family pet. The model is a 1”-1’ scale three-storey home with five rooms on three floors and a walkout balcony. It has a newly shingled roof, more gingerbread trim, eight shuttered

Visitors can start anywhere along the self-guided tour and drop into studios between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Saturday through Monday.

windows, working lights, and fresh paint throughout. The foundation’s interim director of development Hazel Lloyst said she believes the home will draw attention from a number of different parties.

“This beautiful dollhouse would make a wonderful heirloom gift for a child, grindchild, favourite relative, or collector.” Lloyst thanked Conley and the woodcrafters for their work on the project

and noted their contributions show the community cares for one another. The raffle will not be drawn until Dec. 12, so there is plenty of time for people to buy tickets and consider the dollhouse as a potential Christmas gift. Tickets will be sold for $5 each or five for $20. They can be purchased at the foundation’s office at the hospital, or by calling 613476-1008 ext. 4503. The dollhouse will also be on display at the Picton Fair the weekend of Sept. 5-7 and elsewhere in the county leading up to the end of the campaign. Conley will be asked to draw the winning ticket come December. The money raised by the raffle will help the foundation with one of its primary objectives and that is raising funds to keep the hospital’s equipment current with new purchases and upgrades. Lloyst said it’s important for people to remember the province does not provide funding for hospital equipment, it leaves it to each community to do that on its own. -Staff

Are you considering purchasing a home described as a “Fixer Upper” or “Handyman Special” or “As is”? If you’re considering this for the first time, it might benefit you to know and understand the mortgage financing process beforehand. It can be a bit nerve racking especially for first time home buyers but being prepared and understanding the process can make things go much smoother. Banks will definitely do their due diligence when it comes to properties in some degree of disrepair. You should also know there are programs some lenders have that may benefit you as they allow you to borrow against the future value of the property and get money for renovations at the time the funds are advanced to you. The process will look something like this: 1. Give yourself time when making an offer to purchase When you submit your offer to purchase it will be conditional on a number of things including obtaining financing. Lenders like to have

WATERFRONT

at least 10 days which gives them and you time to get an appraisal, home inspection, income documents etc. submitted and approved. If for some reason you can’t get 10 days, bring a licensed contractor with you to inspect the home and ask if they can quickly put together a summary of work to be done and their estimate of materials, labour and time. 2. Get your documents ready Regardless of the property and its condition, before approving the property the lender will assess your credit worthiness beginning with your credit bureau. Assuming everything is OK, they will likely ask for proof of income and an employment verification letter from your employer. Depending on the lender they may ask for all or some combination of recent paystubs, proof of down payment, proof of investments, bank account statements, proof of other assets or copies of one or two years Notice of Assessments. If you are house shopping, having these easily accessible can save you some scrambling. 3. The appraisal The lender will undoubtedly require an appraisal. If you are going to participate in a program where you are also advanced funds to cover the cost of renovations, then you will need to learn, through an appraiser the current value of the property and the estimated value once renovations are complete. If you already have estimates of the cost of renovations the appraiser and/or the lender will need copies in order to help in the assessment of the future value. 4. Other inspections may be required Depending on the outcome of the appraisal and home inspection, other independent reports may be requested by the lender. As I write

this, I have clients who are interested in purchasing a “handyman special”. After the home inspection report was submitted the lender asked for an inspection from a licensed plumber and another inspection of the furnace ventilation and yet another inspection of the foundation. If you notice any issues, mechanical, structural or otherwise when you inspect the home, might be a good idea to consider which experts you may need standing by. Your mortgage agent or real estate agent usually have a good list of various experts and can help you with this. 5. You are approved So all documentation has been submitted, everything is approved and the lender can’t wait to lend you some mortgage money and have you start making payments. You’ll visit your lawyer’s office and funds will be advanced. Money for renovations will be held by your lawyer and given to you once repairs are completed, inspected and receipts submitted. If you do not have all the money up front to complete the renovations, one option is to apply for a line of credit which you can pay off when receipts submitted and the money is refunded to you by your lawyer. A line of credit will have a much lower interest rate than credit cards. There you have it. A fairly straight forward process right? No doubt there will be some twists and turns but that is what your mortgage agent is for; to help guide and support you. Please contact me with questions or if you require assistance. Compliments of Ralph McKenny, a local Mortgage Agent with Martel Mortgages FSCO License 11963. Questions can be addressed to rmckenny@martelmortgages.ca or see contact information top of column.
