District Women’s Institute draws 4,000 to Picton to take part in annual summer tradition
Election campaign Craft show offers chance to find special items officially begins in Bay of Quinte JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER
You can chalk up another successful Prince Edward County District Women's Institute Arts and Crafts Show and Sale. Around 4,000 people were expected to file into the Picton Fairgrounds Thursday in search of the special trinket, that unique item or that hardto-find piece in what is becoming a must for vendors and show attendees alike. Becky de Wolde, the 2015 show registrar said there were 244 individuals and businesses setting up shop Thursday from all over Ontario and parts of Quebec. Ladies from all the branches of the Prince Edward District were hard at work, staffing the kitchen in the curling club, selling baked goods or handing out helpful information to those attending the 32nd annual edition. “Everybody is involved in one way or another,” de Wolde told the Gazette Thursday afternoon. Most of them are here but others have prepared meals or made goods for the bake sale...it's a real team effort.” In what has become a trend over the past few years, the arts and crafts show has become more than just arts and crafts. Gourmet goods, sauces, spreads, preserves, dried and

cured meats and pretzels were available to sample and buy. For example, if you absolutely had to have Kangaroo pepperettes (spicy or mild) on Thursday, you could find them at the show. “My favourite, I absolutely love them,” de Wolde said
with a laugh. “It's not just arts and crafts, there is such a wide range of lots of things for everyone.We've really branched out and expanded the vendors and that keeps it popular year after year. There are the old favourites but there is usually
something new for everyone.” Among those tasty delectables available for sample and purchase came from Lina Spencer and Nayla Zalzal's Cottage Gourmet which is based in Courtice, Ont.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper visited Rideau Hall on Sunday to request David Johnston dissolve Parliament and draw up the writ for a federal election. With candidates long in place for the three major parties and an Oct. 19 date firmly established by legislation, the event appears to be more of a signpost than a starting gate for the candidates in the new Bay of Quinte riding. Indeed, with nominations in May 2014, October 2014, and June 2015 respectively, Liberal Neil Ellis, Conservative Jodie Jenkins, and the NDP’s Terry Cassidy have had a high profile at public events for some time. “We have been going full force since Day 1,” Jenkins said when asked if the formal campaign start changed anything in his approach. Ellis agreed. “Not to any great extent does the early and costly election call effect us,” he said. “We’ve been working very, very hard over the past several months with a large corps of volunteers and have knocked on more than 22,000

doors in the riding to date.” Ellis did say the 11-week campaign will ramp up the cost of office expenses, but his campaign has been ready for some time and it expected the longer term from Harper. Going into the home stretch with confidence, Ellis said he’d continue to pound the streets selling constituents on his experience dealing with all levels of government during his eight-year term as the mayor of Belleville. Experience is also a vital message for Jenkins, who is running with a message that his party has shown the value of its experience in governance. “In this election, Canadians will make a critical decision about the direction of our country,” he said. “A decision with real consequences about who has the proven experience today to keep our economy strong and our country safe both locally and nationally — and we are prepared to deliver that. “I’m meeting voters every day at their doors and presenting them with this clear choice.”

Murray declines mayor’s request for meeting Prominent businessman, Quaiff frustrated by environment minister’s suggestion to appeal White Pines wind approval ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER
Mayor Robert Quaiff will not be receiving an audience with the province's premier or its environment minister to discuss the Green Energy Act and the White Pines Wind Project. On Friday, environment minister Glen Murray replied to Quaiff's letter and formally rejected the request. "As you know, an appeal of the director's decision can be made to the Environmental Review Tribunal. I hope you tool the opportunity to file an appeal, as is your right," Murray wrote. "I cannot take meetings with concerned parties during the appeal process." In his letter, Murray stressed the importance of moving away from greenhouse gas as an energy source. "The move to renewable greenhouse-gas-free energy
sources is critical and at the time we have to achieve our (greenhouse-gas) pollution targets is short," he wrote. Murray invited Quaiff to talk with him about the policy choices the province has to meet those concerns at the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) annual meeting, which takes place Aug. 16-19 in Niagara Falls. The minister also addressed changes in the Independent Electricity System Operator's large renewable procurement program to ensure municipalities are engaged early in project planning. He stated the changes do not apply to existing projects with feed-in tariff contracts like the White Pines Wind Project. Murray said he was aware the County and some of its local citizens offered comments relating to the project's
potential impact on cultural heritage, tourism, visual landscape, property value, human health, and the natural environment. He noted as a result of those comments two turbines were removed from the initial 29-turbine proposal. Conditions were also put in place relating to Blanding's turtles, birds, and bats based on information provided by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry. Reached by the Gazette Tuesday, Quaiff indicated he wasn't pleased with the response. "I don't think too much of it. I spent a good part of the weekend preparing a letter in response," Quaiff said. The mayor indicated he was "infuriated" by the suggestion that Murray hoped the host municipality filed an appeal, coming on the last day to file an appeal at the 11th
The K insmen Club of Picton Presents
hour. He said councillors were advised that option would be overly tasking on its legal counsel as it had to have all its evidence ready in 15 days. Quaiff acknowledged there were three appeals filed against the project's approval — one from the Alliance to Protect Prince Edward County, one from the South Shore Conservancy, and another from Bloomfield resident John Hirsch, who is a board member with Quinte Conservation. He added a fourth appeal was filed by the project's proponent wpd Canada. He speculated that appeal could be regarding the two turbines removed from the project in the approvals process due to cultural heritage concerns. Murray's invitation to meet at AMO also came across to Quaiff as less than productive. "At this point, I'm thinking 'What's the point?'" he said. Quaiff added he found ironic the headlines in Toronto papers over the weekend where Premier Kathleen Wynne called Prime Minister Stephen Harper a bad choice because he was being disrespectful to the province by not coming to the table to discuss a supplemental pension plan. "I was tempted to write in and say 'Now you know how the mayor of Prince Edward County feels.'"
recent mayoral candidate succumbs to cancer
Goddard was a gregarious, fun-loving man involved in sports and Rotary JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER
A Picton businessman and past mayoral candidate for Prince Edward County has died. Jeff Goddard, 56, succumbed to cancer Tuesday after a valiant, year-long battle with the disease. The county native was in the financial services business for 35 years. He ran his own brokerage, Kingfisher Financial since 1988. Recently, he had worked out of the office of McDougall Insurance in Picton, a company he has been allied with since 2004. A gregarious and funloving character that was a member of the Picton Rotary Club and stayed active playing goal in a number of local recreational hockey leagues including the Gentleman’s Friday Night Hockey League and with the Bloomfield Blues oldtimers team, Goddard touched many lives in the local community. A friend and colleague was turned into a political adversary in 2014 when Goddard and Robert Quaiff

vied for the County's top political post. A fellow Rotarian, the news of Goddard's passing hit Quaiff hard. “It's pretty sad and my thought's and prayers are with Cathy and his boys Henry and George,” Quaiff told the Gazette Tuesday afternoon. “I was hoping Jeff would have longer but you never know. I know this news saddened my office and it saddened County staff who had the occasion to meet with him when he filed his papers.” A first-time candidate, Goddard wanted to see an increase in development in the tourism, agriculture and wine industries while improving the County’s infrastructure.

The focus was on community building Saturday as the village of Consecon celebrated its sixth annual Community Day. From yard sales, pig roast and kids games, to the fifth annual Consecon Soap Box Derby, there was no shortage of things to do. Volunteer Terry Greer said he's been taking part in the day for about five years. Greer was grilling up some hot dogs and hamburgers for hungry visitors throughout Saturday. He said there's a lot to like about community day. “People coming together and enjoying the day, it's fun for the kids,� he said. “That's what it's all about — the kids. They have the (Prince Edward County fire department) smoke house and the police, they're chief for a day and they have helmets — it's really good.� Ameliasburgh councillor Roy Pennell was enjoying some of the festivities early Saturday afternoon. “Everything so far has been a total success,� he said. He said he even took part in a yard sale himself and sold everything. He said the village of Consecon attracted a large number of visitors. “If you go through the village there's people all over — everybody in the village pretty much had yard sales,� he said. He said events like Consecon Community Day give all communities a chance to come together. “It's a chance for all communities to pull together, it's neighbours meeting neighbours that normally don't get a chance to do that,� he said. “Further to that, there's a lot of people from the surrounding Quinte area that come over every year. I know the soap
but everything seemed to be a hit with visitors and locals. “I'm really pleased with the turnout, Emm's had a super turnout,â€? said McMahon. “It was just yard sales all over, the church had their bake sale — everybody seemed to be happy.â€? Once the clock neared noon the focus of the event shifted to Consecon's Mill Street (County Rd. 29) hill where organizers were preparing for the fifth annual Consecon Soap Box Derby's 1 p.m. start time. Just prior to start time 31 racers had already signed up. McMahon said there looked to be a great turnout for the derby. Just before things got underway racers were getting some last minute tips and car inspections done and, for some, a battle with last-minute jitters. The skies were blue and sunny as the event got underway. “The weather is fabulous,â€? McMahon said. â€œâ€ŚThe sun is ON THE HILL Nick Nowitsky drops the gate as Lexxy Palliser hot, but the breeze is there.â€? The top finishers in the jungets ready to speed down Consecon's Mill Street.

Sandbanks reaches capacity around noon Sunday as many flock to beaches Park staff take to social media to inform visitors of delays, police reroute traffic as vehicles backed up on County roads leading to gates ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER
At the tail end of a week filled with heat advisories in the middle of a long weekend, the beaches of Sandbanks Provincial Park provided an opportunity for cool respite. That seemed to be the idea many people had from across Ontario and Quebec Sunday. The result was a jam-packed park, long lines, and ultimately closed gates that afternoon. “It can happen if the weather is good,” said park superintendent Robin Reilly. “Looking at the weather forecast, Saturday was okay and Monday was poor. For those planning to come, they all surmised Sunday was best.” Reilly added the August
long weekend is often the craziest time of the year because the water has warmed up in the lakes and it poses the best conditions for swimming. The park’s assistant superintendent Agnese Bortolussi was working that morning and she remembered the Civic Holiday weekend has always been busy in the past. She made the unprecedented step of posting Twitter messages to warn people the park would be busy. At 7:03 a.m. she warned visitors to anticipate long line ups and she asked those with permits to bypass the gate gates by using County Rd. 12. By noon, she advised followers of the park’s official Twitter feed that Sandbanks had reached capacity and

that visitors should wait until like CBC Toronto. after 4 p.m. to attempt to Bortolussi said she wantenter. The Tweets were ed to alert drivers travelling picked up by news agencies from areas like Toronto or Montreal there could be delays before they left. Still many came with some reports indicating traffic was backed up 10 kilometres from the park. The Prince Edward OPP also set up checkpoints in Bloomfield and Cherry Valley to share news of delays. Reilly said all of the park’s 2,000 parking spaces were filled by noon and he didn’t
guess how many potential day users were turned away. “We don’t totally know as the OPP gets involved and starts closing roads and turning people away before they get to the gate,” he said. At the gate, Reilly said park staff try to redirect people as best they can to other facilities in the area, whether it is restaurants, other attractions, or the North Beach Provincial Park, which is operated in conjunction with Sandbanks. He said, ideally, the park

would warn people about being full to capacity before they leave Hwy 401. He indicated the use of social media and help from traditional media did get the word to some, but it doesn’t catch everyone coming to the park. Bortolussi said for many coming from Toronto at 9 a.m. there’s little way of knowing the park will be at capacity as that typically happens between 1-3 p.m. when people normally congregate. She added the Civic Holiday weekend also routinely poses another problem in that regard because people don’t move on like on other days. “Other days, they may stay 10-3 and then leave. On the Civic weekend, they are coming packed with everything determined to make a day of it.” Those guests typically bring their own food, tents or canopies, and different forms of entertainment. Reilly anticipated most of those visitors this past weekend were from outside the county — many locals wisely pick different days to attend — and said traffic from Quebec has been on the rise the last few weeks due to an annual construction holiday in the province. Despite the high volume, Reilly said the weekend was “fairly uneventful” save for one expected exception. “There was a lot of litter left behind, but that is going to happen when you have a lot of people in one place,” he said. With warm temperatures the past two weeks, Reilly said day use at the park has picked up and it may have helped catch up from a slow start due to wet, cool weather earlier this summer. Meanwhile, the park continues to be busy for camping with a reported 100 per cent occupancy rate through July and August. Reilly is hopeful the planned creation of 75 additional sites will start in the fall to allow even more people to visit next year. The weekend was also a busy one for North Beach. Reilly said the park was “full or virtually full,” adding many patrons park outside the gates and walk in. He said others driving by in their cars might have presumed the beach was at capacity, but that’s not always the case.

The food for Saturday's meal was also elvis inspired — Memphis style chicken and ribs. Baldwin said the fish fry generally brings in about 240 people while as many as 400 will come to Saturday's events. All the performances are free to attend with preferred seating with the pur-
chase of a meal. Baldwin said the winery has been trying to focus on the community and draw more locals to the event. “We're really trying to focus on the community and the area and draw people more for the Picton area — that's why we call it the Picton Elvis Fest,� said Baldwin. “It's not the Waupoos Winery music festival, it's the Picton Elvis Festival and we're trying to bring more people into the downtown Picton area because we're just 10 minutes from Picton.�

Whether you believe the King still lives or not, it sure felt like he was alive during Waupoos Estates Winery's fourth annual Picton Elvis Festival this weekend. Elvis tribute artists Roy Leblanc and Brycen Katolinsky rocked the festival's opening Friday night fish fry, with both artists invoking the familiar dulcet tones of Presley's earlier and later years. Ruth Findlater, who travelled from Ireland to visit family in Prince Edward County, said she grew up listening to Presley's music and is a fan. “I love it,� she said. “To our generation he was outrageously forward and nobody had heard singing like that. We were all brought up on opera or church music. Elvis and the Beatles were our introduction to a whole new era of music.� She said both performers were great and the festival was a fun concept. “It's wonderful, it's a great idea,� she said. “I'm amazed (at the crowds) because it's early on a Friday.� The festival continued Saturday with lunch and dinner performances from Leblanc, Kastolinsky, and Matt Cage. Waupoos Estates Winery general manager Kyle Baldwin said things were looking good on Friday. “This is probably one of our better years,� he said. “It's a great turnout, everybody seems to be enjoying the fish and the music.� Baldwin said he wasn't sure why Elvis still commands so much interest after all these years, but he said the Elvis Festival continues to grow in popularity since its inception five years ago. “The first year I wasn't prepared for how many people came and every year it has just grown and grown,� he said. Backup music for all the performances was provided by the Casino Brothers Band and Baldwin couldn't say enough good things about their work. “Marco (Spadafora), he's the organizer of the band, and he brings some great performers every year and they're all

COMMENTARY
Lengthy campaign not strategic slam dunk
THE dissolution of Parliament on Sunday started the third longest federal election campaign in Canadian history — at least, on paper. With an Oct. 19 election date set by legislation, the country’s political parties have been buzzing with activity for at least the past two years getting ready. Many candidates have been ensuring their faces have been visible at public events for months and weighing in on the announcements, decisions, and credibility of the sitting government in the House of Commons. That government has also made it no secret that it’s in election mode the way it presented its taxable universal child-care benefit payments this summer and with many stimulus announcements in recent weeks. With all that in mind, one wonders why an 11-week campaign period was really necessary particularly since many pundits have stated Canadians won’t really dial into the political debate until after Labour Day when their holidays have ended and their children have returned to school. A quick drive around the southern part of Prince Edward County would support that theory as nary a political sign could be found Wednesday morning at a time parties would normally race to be seen. It appears the Conservatives are banking on the idea that a longer campaign will be to their benefit as they have a larger war chest built up than their rivals and, now that the writ has been dropped, there are more limitations on how third parties can contribute and communicate. Some outspoken critics of the current government could be quieted by the rules. Ultimately, however, one must wonder if the strategy will end up back-
firing on a Conservative machine that likes its candidates to stay so closely on message that speeches are nearly identical word-for-word. The longer the campaign, the more opportunities there are for individual candidates to veer from that message, particularly after a long grind. That, and the fear the reported rigidity of the campaign may serve to isolate Stephen Harper and his disciples from the very people they are polling to serve might be enough to raise question marks about the gambit. There is also time in a longer campaign for NDP and Liberal challengers to keep floating new material to try to shift that message and to reach out to more Canadians and spread alternatives they might not have had time to hit upon during a relatively short campaign — and again, this was no snap election, so it is unlikely that either Tom Mulcair’s camp or Justin Trudeau’s would be caught off guard by the demand for policy options and alternatives to the Conservatives’s stay-the-course doctrine. With all that in mind, the lengthy campaign can be a beneficial period for voters, albeit at a greater cost. There is time to really question all of the politicians to a greater extend and to determine what they and their bosses will do if they’re entrusted with the controls of the public purse. Where do they stand on the economy, security, veterans affairs, social programs, and democratic institutions? Can they think on the fly to either justify their positions or think of new solutions? The public has a role to engage the politicians and make the time they’ve been given useful. If we, collectively, aren’t engaged, the lengthy campaign will truly be little more than a political tactic.

Stories From Our Past 1925
n Hillier man Alex McLeod was killed instantly when one of the horses on his farm kicked him. McLeod was widely respected in his community and had just been married three months before the tragic accident. n A coroner’s jury found that Hattie Clark died due to shock after coming into contact with a downed live wire in July. The jury recommended that in future, Picton Public Utilities either shut off the power substation when a downed wire is reported or cap the wire until it can be fixed. n Fred Hubbs and George Ward opened a new state-of-the-art automobile fuel and service station in Picton.
1935
n Two men were blown 20-30 feet after one threw a lit match into a well that had been filled with gas. Flames and smoke wafted high into the air above the well, which had been drilled an additional 20 feet. The well was located on Reeve E.D. Greer’s property. n Picton town council could not meet as it did not have a quorum by 7:45 p.m. as its bylaws dictate. The mayor and several councillors had dinner at the officer’s mess and they returned later than anticipated. n An 11-year-old girl who went missing from a cottage at Outlet was found sleeping in a Bloomfield barn.
1955
n The Waupoos district was threatened by fire. It was believed a passing motorist threw a lit cigarette from his car and sparked a grass blaze that proved very difficult to contain. Local farmers used an orchard sprayer to help keep flames from cottages . n The Prince Edward Poultry Co-Op reported sales of about 6,000 dozen A1 grade eggs a week in its peak season and announced its annual volume of business had risen above $375,000. Some 95 per cent of the eggs were sold in the Montreal market. n Point Petre hosted 4,000 Royal Canadian Army men for its last training camp of the summer season.
1975
n The Prince Edward Yacht Club opposed a proposition by the Prince Edward Cruising Club to add 18 mooring spaces to the Picton harbour as it would make navigation extremely difficult. Reeve Larry Richardson suggested council do a study on how to use the harbour, particularly with extra traffic expected for the 1976 Olympic Games. n With activity increasing, Picton’s property and supply committee was examining the availability of office space to accommodate town staff. n The nuns of the Anglican Community of the Sisters of the Church decided to vacation at Huyck’s Point.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Farmland ownership and usage is of grave importance
As yet another severance enabling the transfer of farmland to a large corporation has been approved in the south shore area of the county, the significance of this is worth considering. We are facing many crises today in agriculture: Our population is expanding and our need for food is increasing. Growing climate instability is reducing our ability to produce food. We are reaching the end of our ability to burn fossil fuels, yet almost everything we do in farming requires fossil fuels. We are also near the end of our ability to use nitrogen fertilizer, yet most food crops being produced today cannot be grown without it So who owns our farmland and what they are doing with it is of grave importance. There are basically two
"options". Farmland can be owned by family farmers, whose goals are to sustainably produce food for people, and to provide well-being for their families and communities. Or farmland can be owned by farmland acquisition corporations whose goal is to generate profit in one or more of three ways: 1) using farmland as part of a market domination strategy employing economies of scale, 2) converting farmland to nonagricultural developments, and 3) buying farmland for investment purposes. None of these strategies is about sustainably producing food, and all exacerbate the crises we face. The first strategy increases the carbon footprint of agriculture.Through the buyups of small family farm
operations, corporations create vast areas of monoculture production. This mode of farming adds huge amounts of fossil-fueled mechanization. It also necessitates the use of larger amounts of fertilizer. And large-scale corporate farming requires exponentially more fossilfueled food transportation miles than small-scale mixed farming to provide people with a balanced diet. The impact of the second strategy, building factories, shopping malls, and subdivisions on our food-growing land, needs no further discussion. The third strategy, using farmland as an investment tool, is the most commonly employed corporate tactic. Because looming food insecurity is pushing the value of farmland higher, there is

851 Prince Edward Air Cadets Squadron members Jessie and Colby Swackhammer help sell some burgers and more outside of Picton Sobeys on Saturday morning. The charity barbecue is organized by the 415 Wing RCAF Association in support of Prince Edward County's 851 Air Cadet Squadron. All the food for the annual barbecue is donated by Sobey's. This year’s event brought in a record $650 to help with cadet activities. (Chad Ibbotson/Gazette staff)
profit to be made simply through repeatedly buying and selling farmland without doing much with it at all. In fact, taking farmland out of production and exacerbating food insecurity can generate profit for corporations, since it makes their investment worth even more. Not surprisingly almost all Canadians want and expect our food-growing land to be owned by family farmers. What is surprising, given what is at stake, is that we have no say in who controls our farmland at all. As a chilling example, in the area of the recently-granted severance and consolidation, family farming has been almost completely eclipsed by a single corporation, without any requirement for the corporation to provide any
information about what they are doing, to the public or any level of government, without any public consultation, without so much as a word in any local media, and without any formal recognition by our municipality that this is even going on. But there is reason for optimism. Our mayor and council have now committed to recognition and action on this issue as far as their powers go, but their powers are very limited in this area. Change cannot happen without grassroots support. If you care about the future of family farming, let County council, your provincial and federal members of parliament, and your local newspapers know. If you eat, this is your issue. Rosalind Adams
Mayor to be commended for his stance on turbines
John Legate’s Aug. 30 letter (“Time for Mayor to accept wind turbines”) presents a warped political analysis. In 2012, South Marysburgh residents (those who must actually endure county wind projects) participated in a vote in which 90.2 percent opposed development. In 2014, they elected a new councilor who shares their antipathy. Yet Legate dismisses the significance of these actions because SM is “one of our least populated wards.” Instead, he touts the results of two online polls conducted in the Quinte region and in Prince Edward Hastings riding. Both these polls are skewed by the opinions of those living outside the county and very distant from South Marysburgh. Legate obfuscates boundaries in order to justify tyran-
ny of the majority as well as fault our mayor for representing his real constituents. Mayor Quaiff, like his predecessor, was elected in part because of his opposition to wind development, especially for leading the County to declare itself “not a willing host.” Along with the mayors and councils of 80 other rural Ontario municipalities, he recognizes that wind projects bring more disadvantages than benefits. Now is not the time to grovel to wpd just because the White Pines project has been approved under the despotic Green Energy Act. Mayor Quaiff is to be commended for continuing to stand on his electoral platform and principles. Henri Garand Big Island
The Puppet Tamer and Jungle Jack to visit local libraries this month
Summer is still in full swing at the library with many programs for children and their families, including live performances and special events. On Saturday, August 8 at 2 p.m. at the Wellington branch, the library teams up with St. John Ambulance to bring the Bite Free program to the community. The presentation discusses dog behaviour, what signs to look for in an aggressive dog, and what to do if you encounter one. This is a free, fun filled and interactive event designed to nurture a sense of responsibility when dealing with not only our own pets, but also when encountering dogs in public places. “There will be friendly dogs to meet during the presentation, too,” says the library’s youth programs coordinator Whitney Shantz. Also at the Wellington branch, on Aug. 12 at 10:30
INSIDE THE LIBRARY Christine Renaud
a.m. the library is pleased to present, by popular demand, the return of The Puppet Tamer with his allnew show. The Puppet Tamer first performed at the 2015 March Break kickoff where he thrilled a
packed house. For more information about the Puppet Tamer, visit his website at: puppettamer.com On Friday, August 21 at 11 a.m. at the Picton branch, the TD Summer Reading Program wraps up with a special celebration featuring Jungle Jack and his extreme balloon creations. Jungle Jack, a.k.a. Mark Verge, is a champion balloon artist who for six years took first place at the International Balloon Sculpting Competition held in the United States for his large creations. His guessing game style show will entertain young and old as he make his unique balloon sculptures and engages the audience to guess, as he’s making his masterpieces, what they might turn out to be. Whoever guesses correctly first wins the sculpture. Visit his website to see the amazing creations he has sculpted from balloons
at www.junglejack. The fun at the library doesn’t stop with the end of the TD Reading program, however. On Saturday, August 22 at 1 p.m., in partnership with Ameliasburgh Recreation Committee, the library hosts a good, oldfashioned Teddy Bear Picnic at the Ameliasburgh Town Hall. Children are encouraged to bring your own stuffed animal and enjoy games, crafts, face painting, a "stuffy hospital" and, of course, a picnic. Food and blankets will be provided. Lastly, the library is pleased to present as part of the Country Comedy Festival – Big laughs in rural places – an improv comedy workshop for children 8-14 years of age. Improv is a form of live theatre in which the plot, characters and dialogue of a game, scene or story are made up in the moment.
Often improvisers will take a suggestion from the audience, or draw on some other source of inspiration to get started, often with hilarious results! The workshop will be at the Wellington branch library from noon to 2 p.m. and taught by professional improvisational comedic actors. It is free to participate, but space is limited and registration is required. You can register by e-mailing me at crenaud@peclibrary.org . Throughout the month of August, programs such as children’s story time in the park, Let’s Play, Popups and others continue Tuesday through Saturday at various branches. For a full list of programs, visit the library website’s Events calendar, drop in to your local community branch or call the main branch at 613-476-5962.

Oughton sets new mystery novel Death By Triangulation in Prince Edward County ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER
John Oughton took the old adage “write what you know� to heart when he was piecing together his first novel, Death By Triangulation. The accomplished poet and English professor at Centennial College set several scenes in Prince Edward County — an area he’s been visiting for the past 26 years and living in part time for well over a decade. “It does have a lot of local
stuff. I’ve spent a lot of time on county roads,� he said. “I used the county to appeal to local people, but also because it is becoming like an exotic place featured in publications like the Star, and the New York Times. Oughton also admits the protagonist, a motorcycle-riding poet and investigator named Aaron Miles — is based somewhat on himself. Miles, he says, is naturally curious, but he likes neatly wrapped cases with an element of art or literature. In this tale, however, he stumbles
upon a big controversy that keeps drawing him in more. Oughton explains Miles has been hired by a rich family of Toronto business people. The family has a black-sheep uncle who lived in the county and hinted about being involved in something serious that he would one day expose. The family naturally doesn’t want news of a scandal to break upon his death, so they hire Miles to put together the clues their uncle left to keep a decades-long mystery under wraps. Along the way, there are several unsavoury characters — ones Oughton surmises

Miles travels to Toronto, New York, and the Dominican Republic in search of answers. “He wants to do a good job for his employers and there are a lot of twists,� Oughton promised of the works. Oughton said like many writers he had the dream of writing a novel. Besides, he said, poets don’t typically sell a lot of copies of their work unless they’re already famous. He tried drafting several different stories over the years, but found this one with Miles was the first that kept his attention through to completion. “I worked on it for probably six years on and off. I’d write a chapter or two, leave it and come back to it,� he said. Oughton indicated most of the plot developments came from his own ideas, though he did share the first few chapters with others at a writer’s retreat in Toronto. He said wellknown mystery writer Gail Bowen offered some good suggestions in the process. He believes the target audience will be “people who love a mystery —particularly those a bit more offbeat,� adding it’s a diversion that people can read at the beach or while waiting to board a plane. Readers can also expect a fair dash of culture mixed into the book and Oughton hopes they will also see wit and humour in the writing. The story was published by Neopoiesis Press, a small publishing company based in Victoria, B.C. that does most of its business in the United
States. Oughton’s editor there, Dale Winslow, also shares a county connection. The writer and editor first met using the social media site MySpace, where they shared poetry. Their friendship evolved to the point where Winslow asked Oughton to edit her first poetry collection Tinderbox. It wasn’t until later he realized she shared a Bloomfield connection as she lived in the county and attended PECI as a teenager. ““It was great working with her on my manuscript because we both knew many of the settings for the novel: Lake on the Mountain, the Picton airport, Waupoos‌ “ Oughton said if the book goes over well and sells a few hundred copies, he will consider a series featuring Miles. He noted there’s a fair amount of skullduggery that a private eye could get into. For now though, he’ll happily share his fifth published book — the past four were poetry — with a county launch at the Picton library branch Sept. 18 at 7 p.m. He’s excited to meet local readership that has been spoiled by a great cadre of mystery writers including the likes of J.D. Carpenter, Janet Kellough, and Vicki Delany. Books & Company is partnering with the library for that release event and it has ordered copies of Death By Triangulation. Oughton said the book is also available online through sites like Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

Good Backpack Program to reach 80 children in county schools this fall United Way, partners rely on community support to offer bags, supplies for $10 each ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER
HELPING OUT Rotary Club of Picton president Rob Leek, left, and community services director Barb Proctor, right, present a $500 donation for the Good Backpack Program to United Way of Quinte executive director Judi Gilbert.(Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)
When they return to school next month, 80 children from the county will benefit from the Good Backpack Program. The United Way of Quinte administers the program with the Community Development Council of Quinte and Volunteer and Information Quinte. United Way executive director Judi Gilbert shared that statistic Tuesday at the Rotary Club of Picton’s meeting as she collected a $500 donation. Gilbert said the United
Way is pleased to work with a network of community partners in both Hastings and Prince Edward counties to be able to keep the backpacks affordable for families in need. “They’re filled with ageappropriate products on a list we get from the schools,” Gilbert said. “The contents can be purchased for $10 by any family.” She said the club is thankful partners like Rotary have kept the backpacks affordable. “Anyone who has children or grandchildren know the
costs to send them back to school. We’ve been able to maintain that $10 cost because of the partnerships we have in the community.” Gilbert said the program held a registration day in Picton last month that had been advertised in school newsletters and through partnering agencies in June. She added some county residents also made it to registration days in other communities. Now in its 15th year, the Good Backpack Program will reach 1,200 elementary stu-
dents across the region this fall, adding to the thousands it has served in the past. Rotarian Elizabeth Crombie was pleased to see the club add its name to the list of supporters for the program and said she hoped the club could offer even more help. “I’m hoping we could do more and make the numbers grow,” she said. Club member Bob Bird said he’d seen other Rotary clubs successfully support similar programs and felt optimistic the Picton club would continue supporting it.

Community Care can offer a volunteer opportunity matching your interests
Community Care has many varied volunteer positions that people can become involved with. We like to have a conversation to determine a person’s interests, skills, and available time and then discuss what they might like to do. At the present time we’re looking for certain things to be done, however, and so we ask you to consider these opportunities and to call us right away if you think you can help. n Visiting with seniors in Picton - we’d really like to talk to a male who is willing to visit an older man. The time commitment is one hour a week. n Delivering Meals on Wheels in Ameliasburgh with promotion of the hot meal program in that area there is now more demand meaning that we need more drivers. What a great problem to have. If you can deliver Meals on Wheels in Ameliasburgh once or twice a week (time commitment one hour each delivery) then give us a call. n Reception for our programs - we need two people, one to
INFO FOR SENIORS Debbie MacDonald Moynes
do reception in Wellington once or twice a month (time commitment 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.) and another person to do reception work in our office in Picton (time commitment varies depending upon the person’s interests). n Walking program – if you like to walk indoors in a controlled environment then Community Care’s walking program might be just the
thing. We’re looking for walkers in both Picton and Wellington who can oversee the participants, in essence check them in and out. The time commitment is one hour a day from one to five days a week. n If you like shopping in our Thrift Shop at 153 Main Street in Picton you might love working there with the other volunteers. It’s a pleasant surprise when the donated boxes and bags are opened. Sorting, cleaning, pricing and displaying the goods is all done by our wonderful volunteers. Join the team and have a great time. The time commitment is three hours a week, or more if you’re interested. Don’t worry if you go to Florida or Texas for the winter! We’ll work around that. And don’t worry if the above positions don’t strike your fancy, we have lots of other opportunities you will surely be interested in.

Jenkins said Canada continues to perform well compared to other G7 countries, but it cannot forget its focus. “Now is the time to stay on track and stick to our plan. That’s how the economy will grow,� he said. Jenkins added he hears “daily encouragement� for the federal government’s stance against ISIS and its unwavering support for the military and in particular, CFB Trenton. Ellis agrees the economy is a focal point but says the Liberals would do a better job than the Conservatives have been doing in creating sustainable employment. “The economy is important, firstly, and good-paying jobs are topmost among working-age people we’ve spoken with,� he said as he criticized the Conservatives for the government’s recent round of stimulus funding. “Despite what you might see from government MPs in the area, sprinkling election goodie cheques around, they haven’t been there for us in helping create a strong environment for long-term stable jobs.� Another campaign point for Ellis is health care and he said his team is reminding people the Conservative government is in the process of cutting $36 billion in funding to the provinces by letting the Canada Health Accord die. “We are stressing we would revive a strong, equitable funding program for the provinces on health care. We have an aging population and health care is at the top of mind for many,� he said. Ellis also said he is hearing veterans in the area are “mightily peeved� with the lack of support veterans have received over the years. “That’s a strong, strong sentiment and one that’s not going away, despite what the other guys tell you about how much they are doing now for vets.� The Gazette asked each of the candidates what makes themselves and their parties the best choice to be the first
He said he has “experience and proven leadership in the municipal arena� and added he’s gleaned some terrific ideas from voters thus far that he’d like to bring to Ottawa. The Gazette’s attempts to reach Cassidy by phone, email, and social media were not successful by press time. Upon his nomination in June, the longtime Quinte West council member stated “it is clearly time for real change,� and vowed that a government led by Tom Mulcair would focus on hope and not fear and respect its seniors, veterans, and working families. Today marks the first major event of the campaign nationally as the major party leaders square off in the first debate, hosted by MacLean’s Magazine.
“One of the most striking and headline-grabbing events of that time was how helpless the federal MP was in helping keep Prince Edward County fishermen continuing to ply their trade in their traditional ports,� he said. “We saw under the Conservatives that longtime county tradition all but wiped out with nothing but a whimper from the sitting member. “Should we expect any better representation with a new member in the riding under the Conservatives? No.� Ellis said the Liberal party had strong, effective representation in the county under former agriculture minister Lyle Vanclief, adding “I believe the region can and does prosper under Liberal representation.�

the process. “We try to partner with local groups when we come to the various towns and the Festival Players have been great partners,� she said. Swift mentioned Krista Dalby of the Small Pond Arts Collective has also lent a hand in the process. The trailer itself is one of two that are touring Canada, the other currently staffed and collecting stories in Banff, Alberta. Last year, Swift collected stories in the Maritimes and earlier this year the pair were in Northern Ontario. The Tale of a Town project is a three-year project leading up to Canada’s 150th in 2017 and there will be a national performance that will include stories from all over the country. The final plans on what the performance will look like and whether it includes stories about Prince Edward County remains to be seen.

and Katie Swift in their teardrop trailer, telling tales of days gone in all three communities. This is in addition to story gathering at local businesses that took place late last month. Swift said in spite of the communities being overrun by tourists in the height of summer, the pair have been able to intrigue a good supply of locals to enter their mobile podcast studio and spill their memories. She added that once they start, stopping can be a tough task. “That seems to be the way especially when you are asking someone something so personal, like memories of their hometown,� Swift told the Gazette Friday morning. “People tend to want to share those stories, to go back in time and reminisce. You can see it in their eyes as they remember something funny or pleasant.� The Festival Players Young Company will offer the on-stage staff and Swift said the local theatre group has been a “huge help� in

The millpond will double as the state of Denmark that evening as the Driftwood Theatre Company rolls in on its Bardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bus Tour for an outdoor production of Shakespeareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tragedy Hamlet. The company has made Bloomfield a regular venue in its travels for several years as artistic director D. Jeremy Smith has deep family roots in the area. General manager Julianne Snepsts is also a county resident. Driftwood is billing Satur-
dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most famous play, like youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never seen it before: a thrilling adaptation by dramaturg Toby Malone that is unpredictable, unsettling, an downright dangerous â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Hamlet with the brakes off.â&#x20AC;? Show time is 7:30 p.m. Unlike other theatrical performances, however, there is no need to reserve seats. The play is presented in a paywhat-you-can format, with a $20 recommended donation and seating is available on the lawn. Visitors are encouraged to bring a blanket or chair and bug spray is recommended. In the event of rain, the perform-

Food Not Bombs to celebrate its third anniversary with free meal Sunday to do something about that,” says one of the Food Not Bombs (FNB) organizers Christine Renaud. “But moreover with FNB, which is a movement that works to build community, we also wanted to examine and address inequality that leads to food insecurity, and to find ways to
reduce food waste.” Since the start of the Prince Edward County chapter of Food Not Bombs, the group has served meals regularly in Benson Park, briefly in front of the Armoury Mall in Picton, Fridays at the Picton branch library for seven months, and three times a
month at the Picton Town Hall since last October. In addition to serving meals, the group occasionally holds “The Really Really Free Market”, clothes swaps and community dances. “We’re fortunate to have music at many of our events courtesy of DJ Ombudsman,
Hri Neil,” says Renaud, “and commitment from a core of crew members to get the meals served with others jumping in to help when possible.” Fresh produce in season is also given away at the meals on the first and third Wednesday of each month at 5:30p.m.

and on the second Sunday of each month. “On Sunday, Aug. 9, we’ll be celebrating our third anniversary with a meal as usual plus a big cake, music, and free yoga at 10 a.m. with Carrie Taylor,” says Renaud. In case of rain, the event will be at the Picton Town Hall. Food Not Bombs welcomes help in organizing and especially encourages those with extra in their gardens to bring it to the meals so it can be shared. Everyone is welcome to come and eat and enjoy time in the park. One family that began attending meals regularly back in the winter is now helping as part of the FNB crew and has been inspired to cook healthier meals at home. “FNB has really been a blessing to our family,” says Jessica McLean Low-On. “Being new to the county was kind of hard at first but then we found FNB and we started to feel welcome and like we belong,” she says of her family’s involvement. “Thank you to everyone that makes FNB happen and who goes to the meals and makes our family feel welcome.” To learn of upcoming meal dates e-mail pec.foodnotbombs@gmail.com, visit the FNB Facebook group Food Not Bombs in PEC, check listings in the Whattams event calendar in newspapers, or visit the blog at: foodnotbombspec.wordpress.com to see photos of past events. -Contributed

Whitepine Watershed beats Terra Vista to build on league lead Beatty Seeds falls back with pair of losses JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER
Whitepine Watershed continued to build a lead in the Prince Edward County Men's Fastball League with their win over Terra Vista Tuesday evening. The defending playoff champions got multi-hit games from John Maracle, Matt Humphreys and Ryan Rowe while pitcher Dan Anthony picked up the decision in an 8-3 win at the Picton Fairgrounds. After the visitors scored a pair of runs in the top half of the first, the Rox looked destined to answer back in the home half of the inning as Gary Hennigar laced Anthony's first offering into left
field for a base hit and Rocky Longwell placed a beautiful bunt single up the third base line to put runners at first and second. But Anthony settled down and struck out the side to end the threat. Trevor Jones took the loss for the Rockies who were tasked with playing with eight players. With the win, Whitepine moves to 8-2-1 and stays in front of second place Beatty Seeds who are at 7-4-1 after dropping two straight. Tonight in Ameliasburgh, Danford Contracting takes on Roblin Family Plumbing at 7 p.m. And Beatty Seeds and the Rockies play at 8:30 p.m.
A visiting youngster has a message for those that might have a say in infrastructure projects. “Bike lanes for Prince Edward County.” Micheal Sheehan, 11, has spent a week here with his family visiting his grandmother and the regular sojourn to Prince Edward County has been a fun getaway from his native Toronto. However, his time away from the city almost turned tragic early Friday morning during a bike ride with his grandmother. To hear Sheehan tell the tale, the plan originally called for the two to ride all the way to Bloomfield from her home on Main Street starting at around 7 a.m. “But my legs were tired from being up so early so we went around the roundabout and started heading back into Picton,” Sheehan told the Gazette. It was just east of the traffic circle where an eastbound motorist, travelling into the rising sun, clipped Sheehan on the left forearm. “I was shocked. It hurt a bit but I didn't really feel it,” Sheehan said. The motorist, shaken as well, immediately pulled over and called 911. Paramedics took Sheehan and his grandmother to Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital where he was later released with stitches and bruising. Sheehan paid a visit to the motorist's place of business in Picton to assure them the lad was no worse for wear. “I think they were pretty relieved to see me and to see that I was ok,” he said. Sheehan asked that drivers be aware of cyclists at all times. “The driver was aware but the sun caught his eyes and I think he lost sight of me for a second,” Sheehan said. “I think bike lanes on

the Loyalist Parkway and other places in the county would be a good idea.” Sheehan's mother Suzanne Gordon said cycling along Loyalist Parkway between the roundabout and Picton can be a challenge. “There's no shoulder,”

Gordon said “He was as close to the edge as he could be but there really is no room.” “Plus there are sewer grates every so often and it's hard to give space,” Michael's father Chris Sheehan added. Gordon added the Prince Edward OPP, the para-
medics and even the neighbours near the scene who collected the bikes and delivered them to the Micheal's grandmother's house were wonderful. “The hospital and the staff were very also very helpful and very calming for Micheal,” Gordon said.

Bee-friendly gardens produce healthier environment
The County now has â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bee Friendlyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; signs everywhere but what exactly does that entail. The Bee Active group that created these signs and provided them at a reasonable cost have focused on the most recent major threat to bees â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the use of neonicotinoid pesticides, more commonly referred to as neonics. This usage has been of concern in Europe for a longer period of time and there are restrictions on its use there. Recently our Bee Active group has reported â&#x20AC;&#x153;in response to the concerns of thousands of Ontario residents for the health of our bees and other pollinators, the Ontario government has created new regulations banning the use of treated corn and soy seeds with neonicotinoids.â&#x20AC;? This begins in 2016. Bee Active members had a concern about the plants sold in large multi-stored outlets such as Loweâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Home Depot that sold garden plants where the seed or the plant itself have been treated with neonics. As these stores begin to discontinue selling treated plants based on customer pressure, they are now focusing on specific sources of plants such as those labeled â&#x20AC;&#x153;proven winnersâ&#x20AC;? that are treated. They encourage all buyers to ask local nurseries about the source of their plants and the use of neonics. They encourage people to patronize organic nurseries There are a few hundred species of bees found in Ontario. Bees, both those that are wild and those raised for honey production, are all declining in numbers as well as species due to loss of environment and lack of food. Of the 14 species of bumblebees in Ontario, all wild of course, seven are in decline, some to the point where there have been no sightings at all for some years. Sightings, however, require a knowledgeable observer. Some of the other types of wild bees seen here are solitary bees such as mason bees, leafcutter bees

and melon bees. Bees kept in hives for honey production are also in decline for different reasons. For example, there are fewer beekeepers and therefore fewer hives that are being maintained. There are the Varraro mites that first came to prominence some 15 years ago and destroyed whole hives. Careful beekeepers say that they now have that problem under control. Also there is colony collapse, where the adult or worker bees go missing and what remains in the hive is the Queen bee, the nurse bees and the immature bees. Colony collapse has occurred in other periods but the most common explanation from beekeepers in Europe as well as Canada is that the current cause is the use of neonics. The makers of these pesticides insist that the causes are other than that such as mites or malnutrition. All bees have lost habitat and safe food sources due to use of pesticides, and of these the most dangerous is neonics due to its longevity in plants and soils. The situation should begin to slowly improve in the following years as no new sources of neonics should be added in areas where treated soy and corn used to be planted. However, given the soil life of that
product, the change can be expected to be slow. Bees are said to pollinate about 70 per cent of our food sources so continued reduction in their populations could affect both what food is available and its cost over time. If you grow some of your own food, for example tomatoes, cucumbers, raspberries and apples, you would have no production without bees. Most of us are aware of the humming of the bees as we wander by these plants as well as by our flower gardens. These food plants support the bee populations but most of them flower early in the season. This leaves bees looking elsewhere for food for much of the growing season. The plants we grow for their decorative appearance, be they shrubs, vines, perennials or annuals, should focus in part on ensuring that the local species of bees are fed as well. Wild bees are attracted to native plants while honeybees are more likely to be attracted to the imports. Wild bees range in size from those the size of a pinhead to the larger bumblebees. There are also variations in beesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tongue lengths that result in an attraction of different bees to different flower heads. Bees also have good colour vision and that is why flowers are so showy in order to attract them. Bees prefer blue, purple, violet white and yellow flowers. Planting larger groupings of the same plant
can assist bees in locating them. Since as gardeners we have a co-dependent relationship with bees, it is up to us to support as many species as possible throughout the growing season. The first step in creating a bee friendly garden is to pay attention to those flowers in your garden that are bee magnets and are always humming with activity. Varieties of bumblebees are the easiest to spot and hear. Others will require more attention in order to see or hear them and others may elude us entirely due to their size. If you have the possibility to allow a wild garden to grow on sections of your property the plants there will also sustain bees. Some of these were imports generations back and may encourage honeybees while other will support the wild bee population. So your wild garden functions in a manner not unlike your cultivated garden. By having both you can sustain a wider range of bees. Any steps you take to widen your range of bee-friendly plants are steps to a healthier environment for all of us.

CARDS OF THANKS
The family of the late Roger Moore would like to thank all the people that helped and visited while Roger was sick and to thank all who sent cards, flowers and food after he passed. We forget how many good friends and neighbours Roger and his family have in our lives. If Roger could have seen how many cards we received and the notes and letters in those cards, he would have been so pleased. We appreciate each and every gesture shown to us in this sad time. Ann, Rhonda, Valerie, Melissa and Nicole.

Picton man still fighting for help a decade after life-altering injuries Former deep sea diver Christofferson is frustrated with process that leaves him waiting for tribunal ruling on CPP disability benefits ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER
“I don’t know when my fight stops.” Mark Christofferson mouths those words, his voice trembling, as he sits at the kitchen table of his Picton home struggling unsuccessfully to fight back the
tears he doesn’t want anyone to see. It has been nearly 10 years since his life changed drastically on a stormy night near Tofino, B.C. off the northern tip of Vancouver Island. Christofferson has been fighting ever since. “I don’t have a lot of

STILL WAITING Mark Christofferson is hoping he will soon hear a ruling on his appeal to receive a CPP disability pension. His appeal hearing was held in March, but he’s been told it could still take up to a year for the judgment.(Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)
fight left in me,” he says, gripping a blue binder as thick as his outstretched hands filled with medical reports and correspondence related to his Canada Pension Plan (CPP) disability application. Thus far, Christofferson hasn’t been able to qualify for the pension to secure his long-term security. A decade ago, Christofferson was in the prime of his life. After two successful years as a deep sea diver
raising salmon on the Bay of Fundy, he was recruited by fishery companies on the West Coast to raise their salmon. Within less than a decade, he had his own crew of men and the prestigious task of raising brood stock in the Pacific Ocean. Life was good for him, his wife, and their son. “The boys all went out together, we all came home together,” he says. “I felt like I never worked a day in my life. We’d have Monday
Night Football at my house — 30 people, all the boys and their wives and their kids. We had a football game Super Bowl Sunday, there had to have been 60 people there, even my bosses and the owners of the company. At Christmas, I was Santa Claus. I had such a phenomenal life… I lost it all in a blink of an eye.” That autumn night, storms were forecast and Christofferson said he remembers arguing with his superior about going out on the ocean. Ultimately, he said he followed orders because that’s the way it is done. The wind was fierce and 20-foot squalls roared on the water that day. Christofferson remembers a large wave slamming into the vessel and rendering it helpless. The rest is hazy. “I don’t know what happened,” he says. “I was injured at 8:20 and they didn’t get me to the hospital until 11:40. I came to with them giving me needles in my ass and in my spine.” Reports from the incident suggest 11 air tanks fell on Christofferson’s head and he also was hit by the boat itself. He was diagnosed with a concussion and sent home. About a week later, he was to go back onto limited duty when doctors asked to see CT scans — none had been done. He was brought into Vancouver for testing and it was discovered there were white lesions on his brain. “They don’t know where
they came from, the side of the boat or the tanks. That’s when one doctor said ‘You can’t dive any more Mark.’” He says the lasting results of the incident include diffuse axonal injury of the brain — a condition 90 per cent of sufferers never regain consciousness from — spinal cord damage, thoracic impingement of the shoulder, chronic pain, and the emergence of limited disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). “For 10 years, I’ve fought medical issues. I have to fight them every day,” he says. “Ever since then, I’ve had good days and bad days. Probably half of my days are like that movie Groundhog Day. My big thing is I hope my meds work enough I can vacuum or maybe straighten out the yard. People say that’s easy, but I wish it was as easy as it used to be.” In the aftermath of his injury, Christofferson lost most of what he held dear. Crew members he knew for years turned their back on him and his community didn’t know quite how to handle the aftermath of the incident. It took its toll emotionally. “Most divers who have been injured on the water die. I’m one of the few who have survived,” he says. “We lost everything I worked for. I went down to a few family members and friends and we had fight to rebuild our lives.” That rebuilding process was placed in the care of WorkSafe BC, the province’s workers’s compensation board. They kept him in Vancouver for the better part of a year working with physiotherapists and psychologists to rehab. In 2008, WorkSafe BC attempted to help Christofferson back to the workplace. He tried a job as a pest control technician, but experienced fatigue and could not perform his tasks regularly. The next year, Christofferson tried to work as a baker as he had done previously in his life. In November 2009, he experienced a medical episode later described as a panic attack. His employer did not keep him on. In May 2010, Chrisofferson tried again, taking on a part-time job as a flag person for a traffic control company. Things were going fairly well until Christofferson was hit by an irate driver in September. That incident brought back memories of the accident on the water and left him emotionally shaken. He became irritable, lost sleep at night, and could not continue the job.

Notice of tribunal judgment from March hearing could take another year FIGHT, from page 24
In the years following his accident, Christofferson attempted to register for the CPP but was told he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t qualify while WorkSafe BC continued to try to rehabilitate himself. Christofferson wanted to work and he to fulfill the wishes of his doctors and rehab team. He even moved three times within British Columbia, including treks to Kelowna and Kamloops to fulfill his requirements. He took his file to the office of his provincial parliamentarian, Nicholas Simons, who represents Powell River-Sunshine Coast. Despite telling him they seldom get involved in disability cases, Simonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; staff read his information and took his case to the B.C. legislature. Soon, Jennifer Leyens, the and director of special care services at WorkSafe BC ruled he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;competitively unemployable.â&#x20AC;? With that ruling, WorkSafe BC worked to settle Christoffersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s claims. He was given a disability pension that covers some of his many medications and provides a meagre amount of money to offset his growing debt. The money runs until he turns 65 in 2028. He also was allowed, at his own expense, to return home to Ontario. At that time, Christofferson applied again for the CPP disability benefits as he reasoned if he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fight for them, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have very little money in his retirement via the retirement plan because he was unable to contribute to it. If he received the disability benefits, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d get an annual stipend that will continue past age 65 at a higher rate. He applied in 2012, only to be denied the benefit. Christofferson said the person handling his case told him â&#x20AC;&#x153;he tried too hardâ&#x20AC;? to be rehabilitated and he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t qualify. By legislation, one qualifies
if they have a severe and prolonged disability â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one that regularly stops them from doing gainful work and is either long-term, indefinite, or likely to result in death â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and had contributed to CPP in four of the previous six years (or three for those contributing for 25 years or more). Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a late-application provision if an individual has been continuously disabled from the to the present time. Human Resources and Skills Development Canada did not consider Christofferson to have a severe or prolonged disability by the end of August 2010 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it argued â&#x20AC;&#x153;he developed PTSD worsening of an adjustment disorder followingâ&#x20AC;? the accident as a flag man in Sept. 2010 when he was able to work part time â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and thus, it declined his application. He was instructed to request an appeal, which he did. A report in The Globe and Mail June 12, 2014 suggests the federal government made changes to the way appeals for CPP disability benefits were heard in April 2013. Instead of the previous system, where more than 1,000 part-time referees heard appeals on financial security decisions, the new Social Security Tribunal with less than 70 full-time members was left to hear those cases. It inherited a caseload of 7,224 unresolved cases, including Christoffersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. The wait was agonizing for Christofferson. He tried to get answers or a sympathetic ear from MP Daryl Krampâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office, but says he found neither. He also hired a lawyer to follow up on his case and he did eventually have his day in front of the tribunal March 24. It was a oneand-a-half to two-hour hearing in Belleville. No one showed up on behalf of the government to argue its case, though it submitted a written argument

asking for the case to be dismissed because he did not meet the criteria when his qualifying period ended in 2009. Christofferson said he was told the judgment would come in two to six weeks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we went to the tribunal and I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see a representative there, I was so happy,â&#x20AC;? he recalls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I came home, laid on the floor and cried for an hour. I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe it was going to end. That was four months ago. Now, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m told it is going to be another two-to-six months to another year, depending on the complexity of my case.â&#x20AC;? That uncertainty is maddening for Christofferson. It drives him into fits of rage as
he thinks of the years heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waited for justice â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or at least someone to offer him a fair shake and tell him to his face he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t qualify. His predicament concerns his wife and his son, who moved in next door to be close to him. After seeing 21 doctors, including neurosurgeons and psychologists, and trying to many pills and procedures he simply wants someone to listen and to answer. He wants to know why heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s considered permanently disabled by Revenue Canada, but not CPP. Most of all, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking for the fight to stop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I worked too hard to get where I am today. I did everything WorkSafe asked me to do
and went beyond. For CPP to deny me going on five years, and to tell me I have to wait another year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not right,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know a guy who was in a motorcycle accident. He was the cause of the accident. He had CPP in two months. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not asking for anything more than I believe is my right as a disabled person.â&#x20AC;? If successful, Christofferson will have to pay a large percentage of his back payments to his lawyer and to WorkSafe BC, but he feels the retirement security is worth the fight. Christofferson said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll show anyone the 500-plus pages in that blue binder with medical reports as he places it firmly on the table. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hid-
ing nothing, he says. He just wants to feel like someone is taking him seriously. Even an undesired answer would be better than the waiting game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To be honest with you, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m at the stage where I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care any more. I just want it to end,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wish I could sit here and ask you to give back what I lost, but nobody can. I just want you to bring it to the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention. Where were you 10 years ago, and where are you today? My son is 22 years old, he was 12 then. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting married. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in the same spot I was then, dealing with the same stuff I was then, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just in a different location.â&#x20AC;?

A second-year participant, the duo's candied pecans were usually gone by 2 p.m. And Spencer confirmed the trend would continue. A multi faceted offering, the Cottage Gourmet Cookbook was also popular item with easy recipes and breathtaking pictures of cottage country. “You can make cottage cooking a gourmet experience, and with these easy and simple ingredients and easy to put together items, you don't spend all of your time in the kitchen at the cottage,” she explained. A vendor of various shows including the bi-annual Cottage Life Shows (Spring and fall) at the International Centre in Toronto, Spencer said she couldn't believe the amount of foot traffic that would pass her stall inside the curling club.
“Each year we marvel at how busy this show, It's remarkable that so many people would attend a mid week show,” she added. Near Cottage Gourmet was third-year exhibitor Loretta Moore of Hooked on the Lake, a Westport fabric artist that made traditional rug hookings out of wool, new and recycled fabric. Just after Moore had shown the centuries-old craft to Samantha Karja from Hillier, Moore told the Gazette the WI show was a highlight on her calendar. “This is my third year and I love it,” Moore said. “I've written about it in my blog and told all my friends about it and people have have been coming up and mentioning what a great show this is. Practicing the art for nearly two decades, Moore said she enjoys it. “I'm an old hooker,” she said with a laugh.
In terms of distance traveled to get to the show, the Gazette may have stumbled upon the person attending from furthest away. Vancouver's Bonnie Miller was in town visiting in-laws and said Thursday she was attending her second show. “I came last year and I'm going to start planning my holiday around the show,” Miller said. “It's so neat to come here and see all these crafts and pieces. I really like homemade things, things that are original, different and are high quality and this show has all those things.” Money raised from the show supports the District Women's Institute, one of Prince Edward County's largest service organizations. Among the local initiatives supported by the W.I. are accessible transportation and scholarships for young people attending post-secondary institutions.

Goddard recognized Eagles take control of standings by blanking Portland players have multiple-goal performances potential for innovation Five in 12-0 effort, Makpah turns aside all shots GODDARD, from page 2
Quaiff said Goddard, coming at Shire Hall from the outside as a political neophyte, helped push the campaign into areas the mayor hadn't considered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jeff absolutely did help me in one area that is very significant and important. It was an area I was not that familiar in and that is the innovation centre,â&#x20AC;? Quaiff said. A former civil engineer, Goddard forced Quaiff to examine the bright, young entrepreneurs backed by Conrad Guziewicz and his team of investors at the head of Picton harbour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I'm amazed at what that PEC Innovation Centre has
been able to accomplish so far and for me, Jeff shone a light on that during the campaign. He knew about the potential there,â&#x20AC;? Quaiff added. Quaiff also remarked at Goddard's natural and jovial nature that left those around him feeling relaxed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was a good guy with a quick wit and a quick line or joke,â&#x20AC;? the mayor added. Goddard is survived by his wife Cathy and his sons Henry and George. Arrangements have been entrusted to Ainsworth Funeral Home of Wellington. Details were not available prior to press time but can be found at www.ainsworthfuneralhome.com.

The Prince Edward County Soccer Association Under 14 PRZ Paintball Eagles whitewashed Portland Monday but even better than the 12-0 result was news that Kingston Pegasus and Kingston Browne United played to a 2-2 draw. The results combine to give the Eagles a strangle hold on top spot in the Southeastern Ontario Soccer Association standings. Through 11 games the
Eagles (9-0-2) have 29 points while Pegasus (7-1-2) trail at 23 points with a game in hand. Cooper Rogers booted home a hat trick for the Eagles while Lucas Cadieux, Joey Monroe, Bailey Maracle and Ian Forsyth all had twogoal games. Joshua Cudd also scored. Eagles goaler Keegan Makpah picked up his fifth clean sheet of the campaign. The Eagles next and final home game of the season is Monday, Aug. 17 when they host Quinte West at PECI for a 6:30 kick off.
ON THE MOVE Anthony Lawrence streaks away from the com-
petition in a recent game between the PECSA Eagles and the Trenton Wolverines. With three games remaining, the Eagles are within reach of a SOSA championship.(Jason Parks/Gazette staff)
