Jeph Bailey-Brown still recalls his first invitation to attend the Prince Edward District Women’s Institute craft show and sale clearly. At the time, the Roslinbased potter was traveling around Ontario with another artist doing mall shows and looking for chances to build clientele. His partner, he recalled, shared a tip he’d received. “We were doing a show at the Quinte Mall at Christmas time. He said, ‘You know there's a little show happening in Picton next summer. Why don't we do it?’” he recalled. Bailey-Brown said both he and his late friend came to Picton for that little show with hopes of just a “one-day thing.” Some 30 shows later, the 70-year-old is still going strong as t hey show has become anything but little. Then, when BaileyBrown started, the entire

field of exhibitors fit on the arena floor at the Prince Edward Community Centre. Now, their booths stretch through the arena floor, the community hall, the curling club, the Crystal Palace and even outside at the Fairgrounds. Bailey-Brown said he

could also recall when it cost exhibitors just $5 to take part in the show — a great time for an artist in that one sale would more than pay for entry, yet he still keeps seeing the benefit in returning. “I've established a lot of customers or clientele. They vacation on the Sandbanks,

and it's the only time they get to see me. I can come back for my sake and their sake,” he said. Bailey-Brown said one of his biggest thrills is hearing from people whose families have his unique pieces in their homes and who are looking to find matches or additions to a set. “As usual, it’s been good. Those same customers come back to look for th is or that,” he said. “Overall, it just gets bigger and bigger too.” Now, the Prince Edward show is one of just six that Bailey-Brown decides to do each year. He said part of it is the volume of business, part of it is the proximity to his home north of Belleville, and part of it is simply the way he’s been treated. “It’s easy to do and the ladies are just great. They’re really nice people,” BaileyBrown concluded. Once again, he brought back familiar wares to show off to potential customers.

The future of an industrial turbine installation near Ostrander Point is again blowing in the wind. Prior to Friday’s deadline for participants to appeal the July 3 decision of Ontario’s Environmental Review Tribunal (ERT), three appeals were filed in Ontario divisional court. The appeals came from lawyers representing the site’s proponent, Ostrander Point GP Inc., the Ministry of Environment (MOE), and one of the appellants, the Alliance to Protect Prince Edward County (APPEC). Ultimately, the ERT ruled the project should not move forward because of its potential impact on the endangered Blanding’s turtle population at the site, allowing the appeal put forward by the Prince Edward County Field Naturalists (PECFN). The ERT also denied APPEC’s appeal, basically on the grounds that the appellants did not do enough to establish a causal link between the turbines and the medical symptoms their witnesses described since they lived near projects in Ontario. All three appealing parties now have 30 days to supply the courts with additional information supporting their appeals. Speaking for APPEC, Ian Hanna said there is no question the organization believes the ERT erred in the way it applied law to the human health question. “We were concerned with the interpretation of how the law was applied to the human health evidence,” Hanna said, adding the appellant believed following an ERT decision in Chatham-Kent that it did not have to prove a causal link between turbines and symptoms such as sleep deprivation, headaches, and an increased heart rate. He said neither the government, nor proponents have answered the question.

Cherry Valley resident still outspoken and sharp on her 100th birthday Former CIBC banker Attersley celebrates a century with friends JASON PARKS
Staff writer
As any grizzled small town newspaper reporter will tell you, interviewing a person that has just turned 100 can be a communal affair.
A loving family member or two often steps in and offers details for the greater good of the posterity of the occasion. But make no mistake, Stella Attersley doesn't need an intermediary when she speaks with a member of the fifth estate or anyone else for that matter. Prince Edward County's latest addition to the century set held court at the Attersley home just outside Cherry Valley on Sunday afternoon, greeting over 75 well wishers and sharing a smile, an embrace, and a story or two. Sharp as a tack and still going strong, the former Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce teller can recall Cherry Valley when she and her late husband Russ settled here just prior to the start of the Second World War. Employed by Newman's Wholesale, Russ and Stella came here in 1939 from his Toronto firm to perform an audit and instantly fell in love with the area. “He wound up getting offered a job locally and we decided at the time that we didn't really want to go back to Toronto,” Stella said. The Attersleys would start their family here and but employment opportunities led them back to the city in 1952. Maintaining a property near East Lake while the family moved to Toronto and later Winnipeg kept the Attersley's in touch with the
It's very natural for dates, locations and events to temporarily escape a person that has cracked the century mark, especially when a running tape recorded is thrust towards them.

community they loved. Russ would pass away in 1975 while Mary was employed with the CIBC in her native Oshawa. She would come to visit her county home time and again to meet with tenants but the island kept calling her back. “I decided it was kind of foolish keeping an apartment in Oshawa and keeping the property here, so I got a trans-
fer and came back in 1978,” Attersley said. Finally retiring in 1982, Attersley has kept up with her former CIBC colleagues through their monthly luncheon get-togethers. “I really really enjoy those lunches and the chance to see everyone,” she said. When asked if there was a secret to staying this vibrant at an advanced age,

Attersley said she really didn't feel that old. “I'm flabbergasted by the amount of people showing up but it's nice because I'm seeing people I haven't seen in many years,” Attersley said, taking in the steady line of people waiting to spend some time and greet Prince Edward County's newest centenarian “There's a friendliness that we encountered (when moving to Prince Edward County) that kept calling me back here and that's why I came back,” she said. Attersley added it's her family that keeps her greeting each day with a smile. Son Ed and her daughters Diane and Mary were there Sunday, smiling brightly as were the collective Attersley offspring. “Getting to see my family and friends. They have kept me busy,” she said. “But there's no secret to getting to be my age other than that.”

how to sAve A life From left, OPP community services officer Anthony Mann,
Canadian Blood Services community development co-ordinator Linda Mather, and Prince Edward County firefighter JIm Young have heard the call for blood and plan to donate to restore supply after a challenging summer . (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff) supply after a challenging start to the summer and are calling on donors from the Picton area to donate.� The next blood donor clinic in Picton is at the community centre on Aug. 12 between 2 and 8 p.m. Those interested in donating can visit www.blood.ca or call 1-888-23606283 to book their appointments in advance. Canada Blood Services officials can also direct people to alternate clinics in the region. Among those donating in the coming weeks will be local emergency services personnel taking part in the annual Sirens For Life campaign to raise awareness for the need to donate. In fact, the Prince Edward OPP and the Prince Edward County Fire Department have issued a challenge between the two organizations to see which one will ultimately give
more blood for the cause. “Bring it on,� said OPP community services officer Anthony Mann when his counterpart Jim Young broached the idea. Mann said that for years he was reluctant to give blood, even though he knew firsthand the need. Last year, he finally relented and donated and he says he wished he would have done so earlier in his life. “It’s such an easy process and it’s really relaxing,� he said. “You’re in and out, the staff is great, and there’s no discomfort. There’s really no reason we can’t all do our part.� Mann said that many of the officers at the detachment have given during the Sirens For Life campaign in the past and many donate on their own as well. “It really speaks to itself,� said Mann. “It’s es-
cial police reported. Commissioner Chris Lewis was pleased with the results achieved. ““I believe the public did an excellent job cooperating with our officers to keep the long weekend safe for everyone,� said Lewis.
Police did lay several charges over the long weekend, however, including96 citations for impaired operation of vehicles and 91 roadside suspensions for warn-range operation.

Blood donors needed to replenish supply after summer According to Canadian Blood Services, one person seriously injured in a car accident could need at least 50 blood donations to help save his or her life. Depending on the time of the year that accident occurs, an individual could be more at risk because of the level of blood available to the health-care system. Canadian Blood Services community development co-ordinator Linda Mather says the summer month often put more stress on that system because more people are on roadways and waterways and during those months, people are also less likely to keep up the routine of giving blood. “As a result of nearly 12,000 unfilled appointments so far this summer, coupled with constant hospital demand, Canadian Blood Services is forecasting the need for 51,000 appointments to be filled between now and Labour Day to replenish stocks,� Mather said. She indicated across Canada, there are enough reserves right now to supply emergency need, but noted other countries including the United States and United Kingdom have issued emergency appeals for blood recently. “No one is currently going without blood and we can draw on reserves so that people who need blood continue to get it,� she said. ‘We do, however, need to replenish our blood

sential. They need to have that blood. We see the circumstances too often in our line of work.� Young said often the firefighters and police officers see the victims of tragic events at a time when they’re at their worst, but it’s also important to realize that for many victims, the healing doesn’t occur overnight or even in the days after an accident. “The reality is that it is the beginning of the journey for them,� he said. “There’s a lot more they do on a medical level that we don’t see and the use of that blood is important throughout that journey.�

Love Amanda, Andrew, Ethan and Ben
All roads led to Consecon this weekend as the village by the shore of Weller's Bay put on the shine for its annual Community Day. The event was fun for all ages as a car boot sale, wagon rides through the town and Chi Kung demonstrations kept visitors busy. In the evening, a pork roast and street dance served as a fine way to wind up the day. But the furious action and the highlight of the Consecon Community Day took place mid afternoon on the Mill Street hill as 44 young soap box derby racers competed for the titles of the king and queen of the third annual Consecon Soap Box Derby.
Derby organizer Bill McMahon was pleased with the turnout of young Andrettis and Tracys as the number of registrants was an all time high for the event. And judging by the litany of spectators lining the streets to watch the amateur racers speed down the incline, the Derby is becoming a popular part of the Consecon Community Day. “We are really happy with the turnout and the crowd here to watch the kids,” McMahon told the Gazette. “The event is drawing attendance and the people are saying 'lets go see this thing'.” And it's not just local racers or participants from nearby Trenton or Belleville. “We have a family from Ottawa that travels here, they camp locally and participate in the race and they've done it for the past few years,” McMahon added. Jaden Komac of Bayfield
Home had an outstanding run in his first turn behind the wheel of a nicely decorated racer. “It was pretty good,” Komac said of his first trek down Mill Street. “I was a little bit nervous but I got the hang of it pretty quickly.” Nick Kirby and his grandfather spent the week leading up to the derby perfecting his racer and the young Consecon native was happy after his first time trial. “I like (the derby) because you get to got really fast,” he added. The overall fastest racers Saturday were Madison Rowbotham and Brock Sallans. Age division leaders were: Junior (6 through 7 years)- Noel Peeling, Sam Toth and Walker Valatelo, Bantam ( 7 through 9 years)Serasa Walter, Dustin Young andTyler Gauvin, Senior- Rowbotham, Amber Peeling and Sallans.

Eleven charged following Project Griswold searches Police follow up on month-long investigation into prescription drug trade
The OPP is hoping it has eliminated a significant amount of prescription drug trafficking in Prince Edward County following a series of raids Thursday. Acting in response to concerns from the community about the trade of prescription narcotics, the local OPP detachment worked with the force’s organized crime enforcement bureau and its drug enforcement unit in a 30-day investigation in and around Picton. Last Thursday, police were seen at several residences within the town as they executed search warrants as part of a campaign
they called Project Griswold. The investigating OPP units were assisted by an additional canine unit as well as police from the Belleville, Gananoque, and Brockville forces. OPP community services officer Anthony Mann took part in the operation and he told the Gazette that all the searches went according to plan. Following the search of four residences, police confiscated cannabis marijuana, psilocybin, oxycodone, and hydromorphine contin carrying an estimated street value of more than $80,000 as well as an undisclosed
amount of money. All of the accused were released on a promise to appear to attend Picton court on Oct. 2. The following facing charges of either Criminal Code or Controlled Drugs and Substances Act offences as a result of the operation... Levon Thomas Wilkinson, 22 (trafficking cocaine, production cannabis marijuana, possession of psilocybin for purposes of trafficking); Perry Wayne Reddick, 51 (trafficking marijuana, possession of cannabis marijuana for purposes of trafficking, possession of psilocybin for the purposes
of trafficking); Robbie Robitaille, 49 (trafficking oxycodone); Paul King, 46 (trafficking hydro-morphin contin), Charles Wayne Armstrong, 46 (trafficking hydromorphine contin, breach of probation); Sarah Heaslip, 22 (trafficking cocaine); Christopher William Bronson, 29 (trafficking psilocybin); John ChaneyAdams, 32 (trafficking psilocybin); Thomas Wilkinson, 49 (production of cannabis marijuana); Ron Charles Hill, 51 (trafficking hydromorphine contin). -Adam Bramburger, Staff
The Power of Three John Squair of Three Dog Winery in Sophiasburgh shows off some of what’s been growing on the vines at the former township’s first winery as it prepares for production this fall. (Jason Parks/Gazette staff)
Three Dog Winery aims to be first open in Sophiasburgh StAff writer
Every dog has its day. And, maybe some day soon, every former township in Prince Edward County will have its winery. While a stockpile of vineyards and wine producing concerns have been building in Hillier, North Marysburgh and South Marysburgh for some time, the eastern gateway to the Island will soon boast it's own member of Prince Edward County wine family. Three Dog Winery, the brainchild of John and Sacha Squair, will be the first winery in Sophiasburgh. Located on Fish Lake Road on the former Grapevale Cheese Factory lands, the winery is named after the couples three rescued golden retrievers. John Squair has been involved in the County wine industry for a number of years and was formerly with Sandbanks Estate Winery where he was vineyard manager, assistant wine maker and marketed the trappings of one of Prince Edward County's elite wineries around the Ontario. Deciding to branch apart from the traditional county winery areas, Squair is hoping the Sophiasburgh clay and an inland growing season will translate into success. Terroir and timing aside, Squair said the location allows visitors to whet their palate almost instantaneously upon entering Prince Edward County. “Hwy 49 is the second busiest road into the county and there's no one here at
the eastern gateway,� Squair told the Gazette during a tour of the Three Dog grounds. “Plus the growing season starts earlier here because we aren't so close to the lake and allows us to harvest earlier.� Squair said is carefully cultivating about three acres of vines that will produce Pinot noir, Pinot gris and Chardonnay later this fall. That's in addition to about two-and-half acres of hybrid Vitis vinifera planted this spring that will produce in three years time. In addition to selling wine, Squair has plans to transform a building on the vineyard grounds into a produce and meat stand called 'The Dog's Dish' where visitors coming to camp or stay at a bed and breakfast can stock up on local produced fruits, vegetables and meats. That's in addition to the tasting room planned for next year. “This is a gateway to the county and I believe people want to start to enjoy the county exp right away and be part of it,� Squair said. “Three Dog will be the first stop.� With a large footprint, part of the lands will be offered for community use and Squair is already dreaming about partnering with local community groups and agencies for fundraising opportunities.

PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY
Looking back in the
Picton Gazette 80 years ago — 1933
■ Picton council voted in favour of renting an apartment house to provide housing for unemployed residents. Among the residents the town sought to house were a family that was living in a tent in the fairgrounds, while others were facing eviction. The town was able to rent a large three-storey building formerly belonging to the Adams estate for $20 per month. It could house four families. ■ Chicken thieves struck Will La Tour’s poultry houses in the Carrying Place area. The prowlers disturbed the chicken and made their escape with a small number of chickens before La Tour could chase them off his property. ■ Picton expected to receive a $6,785 rebate from Ontario Hydro, allowing municipal services to be offered as close to at cost as possible. A rate rollback for residents was not likely, given Picton already had lower rates than many other towns.
60 years ago — 1953
■ Bill Garrah, a 29-year-old Kingston man drowned just off the Picton dock. An oiler with the Canada Dredge and Dock Co. Garrah was believed to be swimming out to a barge where he and other workers were living. It was not clear what had caused him to drown. ■ In perfect weather before large crowds, boaters set three new records for the measured mile at the Gold Cup Regatta on Picton Bay. Bernard Daoust won the Gold Cup with a Canadian record of 103.175 miles per hour in the 266 class. George Carnegie set a world record for the Canadian One Design class with an average speed of 47.216 miles per hour, and George Reynolds drove his 135 Canadian class hydroplane at 73.7 miles, the fastest time in eastern Canada. ■ Cheese production in the county in the first six months of 1953 was down 45, 242 pounds, largely due to milk diversion.
40 years ago — 1973
■ Picton council heard complaints from residents over the post office’s decision to reduce hours for its lock box due to vandalism in its lobby. Council voted to send a formal letter to the postmaster asking the hours be extended again. Some members of council used the delegation to share their own concerns about poorer service at the post office in recent weeks. ■ Council also considered a complaint from Spring and Albert Street residents about noise, odour, and dust coming from neighbouring Power Concrete Ltd. ■ Wellington and Hillier celebrated together as the two municipalities jointly opened a new three-truck fire hall.
20 years ago — 1993
■ After a hot, dry July, local producers were hoping to see a wet August to carry their crops through. In particular, local corn was impacted by the dry weather and a poor yield was expected if not for adequate rainfall. The drought did not have as serious an effect on soybeans. Fresh crops like tomatoes, strawberries, and apples were also expected to be in short supply pending August rain. ■ Belleville businessman Rick Moorcroft announced his attention to run for the federal Progressive Conservative nomination in Prince Edward-Hastings. ■ Tourism centres across Ontario were about to receive a county brochure tagged “Come for a day, stay for a lifetime.”

Tree swallows experience a 40-year decline
As in the film industry, there were snippets destined for my book, “Up Before Five – the Family Farm” that landed on the cutting room floor. However, it was my decision to omit them from the book, rather than the editors’ as including them would have dragged the book out too long. One of those scraps was my daily morning stroll with the flashlight out to the pasture field to bring in the cows for the morning milking. In the darkness there were mysterious sounds I could not, or preferred not, to identify. For the most part though, it was quiet out there in the pasture field as I fanned the flashlight back and forth, hoping to catch sight of the herd. Once on our way back to the barn, I paid more attention to the daybreak just beginning to faintly illuminate the distant horizon. That’s when I would see them. Tree swallows. Many thousands of them coming in my direction. As a fledgling birder, it would be several years before I understood where these swallows were coming from. I knew only that their journey seemed to end at the hydro wires that ran past our house. It was here where they eventually settled, their dark forms jostling for space, almost making the wires sag beneath their combined weight. The numbers continued to build up, extending far beyond what the eyes could detect. Surplus swallows fought for perches in one of our weeping willow trees near the lines and the tracery of branches would wave about propelled by the wind from their wings. Thousands, perhaps mil-
OUTDOOR RAMBLES TERRY SPRAGUE
lions of swallows, would gather like this every morning, thinning out gradually through the autumn months as flocks no longer could contain their urge to migrate. The 620 I counted last week on the hydro wires that run past our house where we now live, only a kilometre from the old homestead, paled by comparison, but it did remind me of the vast flocks we once had back in the 1960s. I learned from what few books on birds that I had back then that the swallows had likely just lifted from the Big Island Marsh where they had spent the night. It took a while to accept this explanation as tree swallows during the nesting season have little to do with cattail marshes. However, come autumn, tree swallows view extensive marshlands as a safe haven in which to spend the night. Huff’s Island Marsh was apparently another wetland where tree swallows would also bed down at night in the fall. In an e-mail received from a Belleville friend this week, he related an experi-
ence he had many years ago. “My neighbour for a while was 95-year-old John Mitchell, the saxophonist of the Commodores Orchestra. We used to go to Picton for fish and chips and every time we passed the marsh on Hwy 62 he would tell about the tree swallows. His comment was the sky was black with birds and they would block out the sun for minutes at a time. He would always remark with sadness about the loss of birds which was pretty dramatic in his long lifetime.” So, what has happened since the 1960s to knock their numbers down like that? Like most declines, likely it has been a combination of several factors, including habitat loss, loss of wetlands where they roost, changing agricultural practices, competition with other species for nest cavities and intense agricultural pesticide use which reduces their food source. I am sure most of us are inclined to believe that tree swallows occur only where there are nest boxes provided for them. However, the majority of tree swallows still use natural cavities, and these have been disappearing for the past 200 years as people cleared the land, managed woodlands, cut down older trees, and removed dead trees. Also, late spring snow storms. Remember the tragic sleet storm of April 11, 2003 that persisted for several days, resulting in 100 per cent mortality of thousands of early tree swallow migrants? The ground throughout the Quinte region was carpeted with dead swallows, and next boxes were jammed with 30 or more dead swallows as
they tried to seek shelter, and then suffocated. Tree swallows have been declining at about one percent per year since 1966, according to the North American Breeding Bird Survey. They thrive on a high-insect diet, which through bioaccumulation can expose them to high levels of pesticides and other contaminants such as PCBs and mercury. Amazingly, their numbers are still fairly stable, simply because their numbers were very high to start with historically. Tree swallows are a bit more forgiving when it comes to territorial requirements, although that is difficult to believe when you see tree swallows separated on a hydro wire by a polite eight inches, as though measured with extended wing tips. On our own two-acre lot in the 1970s, we routinely had up to 20 pairs occupying nest boxes annually. Today that number is down to three pair, although part of the reason can be attributed to less open space as our trees and shrubs have multiplied and matured. Tree swallows are likely safe for a little while. However, the day will come eventually when we will lose the tree swallow. That will be a sad day indeed, given their importance in insect control. To not have tree swallows in our backyard will be like losing the loons on our lakes and bays. For more information on today’s topic, please e-mail tsprague@kos.net or phone 613-476-5072.

Government should take precautionary approach to wind
OPPONENTS to the proposed industrial wind installations at Ostrander Point and elsewhere on Prince Edward County’s south shore were quick to stand up and say that regardless of the decisions of the Environmental Review Tribunal or the appeals to those decisions, they’re set to continue fighting. With costs mounting, the Prince Edward County Field Naturalists will continue to see their argument through that turbines will do irreversible harm to native species including the Blading’s turtle — ones they say the Ministry of Natural Resources should have an understanding of around a site it offered a permit allowing the proponents of the Ostrander Point project to kill, destroy, and maim — and the Alliance to Protect Prince Edward County will still push on in its efforts to convince the government that people are suffering from adverse health effects near wind turbine projects in this province already and it isn’t merely a coincidence. One wonders, however, how successful these groups can be, particularly when the filings from the government agencies one would presume exist to protect our environment are arguing that the process they followed in their appeals was applied incorrectly — at least in the case of the Field Naturalists — because a tribunal decided the onus was on the proponents to prove their project does not cause harm, rather than requiring the appellants to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that it will. Most of the arguments put forward by the two citizens organizations appealing the Ostrander project make common sense. One could reasonably presume that an access road would provide sufficient risk to an endangered species of turtle and if one was proposing that road, they should know the number of those turtles living in proximity to the site, they should have an idea of the impact a road would cause, and they should be prepared to justify the degree of risk their development would create on the site. One may presume mitigation efforts can help — and that should be taken into account — but there is no guarantee that they will work and time cannot be turned back. The same goes, one would presume, with such large structures being built in the flight path of migratory birds, but that argument didn’t meet the test. One would think a Crown department responsible for the preservation of the environment would be eager to look at the precautionary principle in its findings and err on the side of caution. Here, the Ministry of Environment is not only abandoning that, it’s fighting to say that a private group of individuals should take the place of the regulator to provide information about an endangered species and it should also provide conclusive proof that harm will occur. That’s unrealistic. It’s time this government stopped fighting tooth and nail for its precious green energy dreams and returned to its job as a regulator. It would save its citizens and itself a lot of money and effort.

Are you on the Library’s new books notifications list?
The County of Prince Edward Public library & Archives adds new books and DVDs to its collection of over 80,000 titles each week. These include fiction and non-fiction books, new releases, graphic novels, young adult novels, and children’s books as well as e-books. Often added as well are DVDs which include popular films, season series of television shows, documentaries and children’s films. Many people keep up with what is added to the collection each week by subscribing to the library’s “new books list” notification. This is also a good way to keep up with what new events and programs are being added as a few lines are reserved to announce these. Subscribing to the list can be done simply online by going to the library’s website at www.peclibrary.org and clicking on the new books and DVDs link. Once subscribed, each week or so, you will receive a message in your e-mail inbox with a list of all additions as well as the brief reminder of any special events happening in the upcoming week or two. You may also request to be added to the new books list by asking any library staff, in person or by phone. The library also offers a wide variety of e-books that can be borrowed free of charge. E-books are becoming increasingly popular at the library as they are in public libraries around the world. A recent online article from CNNMoney entitled Amazon versus your public library suggests that this trend will continue, and according to Anthony DiClemente, an analyst from Barclays, “Consumers will likely avoid buying e-books if they can borrow them from the library for free.” The obstacle, the article contends, “hinges on whether libraries and publishers can iron out differences that have limited the selection of e-books available for lending.” This is a part of the challenge that we are addressing. One of the solutions we have found for high demand titles is to purchase additional of especially popular e-books specifically for our library patrons when possible,” says Library CEO Barbara Sweet. “These copies are not
InsIde the lIbrary CHRISTINE RENAUD
part of the overall e-book collection shared by the consortium, but reserved for our library members.” If there is an e-book you would like for which there is a long wait time, you may make a request for the possible purchase of an additional copy by contacting Liz Zylstra at 613-4765962 or by e-mailing liz@peclibrary.org The CNN article continues to state, with regards to challenges with e-books, “Having said that, libraries have coexisted just fine with physical bookstores over the years. People who wanted to read the latest bestsellers tended to buy them rather than checking them out. Libraries served more as a supplement, particularly for people who couldn't afford paying for new books. Why should the dynamics in the digital era be any different?” Though e-books are popular, many people still want paper books and these continue to make up the majority of new titles added each week. Copies can be ordered online when one receives the new books list, or by coming in or calling the library, and these can be delivered to any of the six branches for convenient pick up at your closest branch. Courier service runs twice weekly between all the branches. While this has been happening for years, it may become apparent with the recent addition of new magnetic signs, which will now be used on the delivery vehicles. There is delivery both to send books between branches and to deliver books to seniors and homebound readers. Keep an eye out for the marked vehicles. Your next great read might be on board.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
ERT appeals expected, but troubling in nature
Right at the Aug. 2 deadline, three appeals were launched against the recent decisions of the Environmental Review Tribunal relating to Ostrander Point. The first two were by Ostrander Point Wind Energy LP (alias Gilead Power) and the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) respectively against the Tribunal’s decision, sought by Prince Edward County Field Naturalists (PECFN), to disallow nine wind turbines on the grounds of serious and irreversible harm to Blanding’s Turtles, an endangered species. The third, by the Alliance to Protect Prince Edward County (APPEC) appeals the Tribunal’s decision dismissing APPEC’s claim that the turbines would cause serious harm to human health. Dealing with them in reverse order, the APPEC appeal was to be expected, given the evidence provided by several witnesses, described as “credible” by the Tribunal, of serious health problems suffered in close
proximity to existing Ontario wind factories and the linking of those problems to the operation of turbines by outstanding medical experts. The appeal by Gilead Power was also to be expected; it has invested considerable time and resources on its own behalf and for its major investor to secure an above average, Ontario government (read taxpayer) guaranteed, return over a minimum 20 year period and can afford to retain one of the largest and most expensive of Canadian law firms. If its appeal is successful, it is claiming costs from PECFN, a small not-for-profit which totally depends on the generosity mostly of individual County residents. The appeal by MOE could not likely have occurred without approval from the Ontario government of which it is a part, specifically of the cabinet which includes the premier. It is unlikely that any ministry or minister would act on its or his/her own initiative without such approval
on a matter of major delicacy and importance. The only implications to be drawn seem to be that the premier’s efforts to distance herself from her predecessor and her assurances of more cordial relations and cooperation with rural municipalities on Green Energy Act matters are spent. And let us not forget that the salaries of the MOE lawyers are paid by many of those very taxpayers in opposition to MOE’s position. There are other troubling aspects about Ostrander Point. The Tribunal was not allowed to hear evidence about the devastating cumulative effects on one of Canada’s major flyways which has existed for millennia from turbines existing or planned on Wolfe Island, Amherst Island, Prince Edward County and the mainland to the east, and offshore when the moratorium is lifted. Nor has the Ministry of Natural Resources, the owner of Ostrander Point in trust for Ontario residents,
disclosed exactly how much payment it will receive each year from Gilead for each of the nine turbines. And is there not a conflict of interest in one Ministry issuing a permit to Gilead to erect turbines which would facilitate the receipt by a sister Ministry of such payments? And then exacerbating the initial conflict by appealing? In the world of the Green Energy Act, democracy is paid but lip service. The only prospective ray of light at the moment is that the appeals are to the Divisional Court of the Superior Court of Ontario on alleged “points of law”. Superior Court judges are of a high calibre, federally appointed and completely independent. If ever PECFN and APPEC needed our help, it is now. Go to their websites to see how we can all step up to the plate. Their websites are www.saveostranderpoint.or g and www.appec.ca
the community at large in the process. It is called democracy and it hasn’t happened yet. After a number of failed attempts by our council to deal with the referendum matter (without public input), they commissioned people from Queen’s University to lead and to establish a citizens assembly to investigate and to report back their findings. Apparently 5,000 county residents were asked to take part, of which approximately 300 ( six per cent) responded, and then 24 were selected. I have no idea how the 5,000 were chosen, nor do I have any insight into process as to how the final 24 were selected. But for me, neither the 5,000, nor the 300 and definitely not the 24 selected represent anything. How can they?
My concerns are not with those who serve on the Assembly (because I don’t know them); instead my concerns deal with the real issues of democracy. If the 16 people this community pays for can’t seem to deal with an issue they were elected to deal with, then why should I feel confident with the opinions made by 24 people who I don’t know and didn’t vote for? Another question needing to be asked is – why can’t our council deal with this question with the public, are they not up to doing their job? If this last point is indeed correct, then involving a group of volunteers doesn’t help the sad state of democracy in our community – it only disguises it! Even the name
“citizens assembly” really isn’t accurate, is it? Since the creation of such quasi democratic bodies as MPAC, and LIHNs, I have no trust in any level of government who willingly gives away their mandate to another “selected” group to deal with issues they were elected to deal with. It usually means the public are S.O.L.! In my opinion, council has done this community no favour by passing the buck onto a volunteer citizens assembly, established by them to do what? It is time that our councillors step up to the plate for all of us to see where they stand on this issue! Isn’t that what real democracy is about?
Garth Manning CCSAGE chair Wellington
Council does public no favour by passing the buck
Since the overwhelming vote of support shown in the 2010 referendum to review the size of our municipal council, taxpayers have witnessed a number of reluctant efforts by our council to address this question. I am uncertain how to react to this latest effort – that being the establishment of a citizens assembly, commissioned by council to deal with the question of how many councillors should there be? While I appreciate the efforts of those volunteering to serve, I’m still not sure how democratic this latest effort is. The public voted on the referendum with the understanding that this matter would be dealt with by the people who they were electing to make such decisions and in turn would include

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Citizens’ assembly does not have useful mandate
Gary Mooney's letter, (Aug. 1)although on the correct content, misses the point altogether. The citizens’ assembly , as far as I can see, does not have a useful mandate. Several years ago I proposed the idea of using retired or willing County citizens to help and improve the services provided. The areas included study and review of County departments, training of staff on management and improving customer service. I spent time with the thenCounty clerk on my idea as well as indicating this toe mayor and several council members. Earlier this year I met with the retiring clerk
about my idea and she informed me that council was reviewing the proposal . It apparently passed and 24 were selected. I am not upset that my name was not selected but I am disturbed at the mandate for this committee. As I understand Mooney's letter, the committee was asked to recommend the size of council. This initiative had nothing to do with my proposal . In fact , why would council ask another body to examine the size . This issue was a subject of a group of citizens who spent considerable amount of money to recommend changes without success.
Council does not need another input on this subject the people have already spoken. The majority of councillors have voted against changing . Why would they ask another group to tell them what we, the voters, want ? I sincerely hope that the citizen's assembly will look at the work of the staff, not Council. We need improvement in the way we are served and bring about an improved divisional performance as there have been instances where members of staff have not been the best possible.
The premise of your editorial Aug. 1, “Russia should be held accountable for homophobic law” is off the mark. Russia virtually unanimously passed through both houses and president Putin signed legislation making homosexual propaganda especially directed toward children illegal and attached harsh penalties for such deviant behavior. Unlike Canada, Russia’s priority is protecting children who are unable to protect themselves from such vile
propaganda not mollycoddling perverts and making it a priority to help deviants feel better about who they are. Case in point: the Toronto school board that inexplicably reinstated a teacher (Wade Vroom) who had posted a number of graphic homosexual sex pamphlets in his senior public school classroom. Pedophiliac sex tourism has become epidemic in certain regions of the world one would hope that perverts who abuse and attempt to
propagandize children will stay away from the Sochi Winter Olympics on account of these new laws. The “radical homosexual agenda” has been embraced by Canada and much of the West. I applaud Russia for bravely protecting its children from propagandizing homosexual predators. Canada has much to learn from our northern neighbours.
The Food not Bombs coverage in the Aug. 3 Gazette was a very interesting story. In a time when people tend to be rather self-focused, it is good to hear about "giving freely" for the good of others. Others have been doing the same sort of thing as well. For example, Salvation Army
hosts "Loaves and Fishes", a free full course meal monthly, for anyone. Other churches take turns making and serving this free meal. First Baptist Church provides a free lunch to students monthly. Regarding comfort quilts, the Quilters Guild does a
wonderful job providing free quilts for various causes. Kudos to all. Thanks for printing positive news! How wonderful that compassion and caring is alive and well in the county.

A quick lesson in e-mail etiquette for those who may not have used it in the workplace
Many, many seniors are now using email to be in contact with friends and family. What a great way to stay in touch. This is the first of two columns on the topic of email etiquette. There’s e-mail etiquette that just isn’t known by everyone and especially not by seniors who often didn’t use e-mail when they were still in the work setting. Looking on the Microsoft web site I found the following tips for better email etiquette. These tips are directed at those who use e-mail at work but are important to those who use e-mail for pleasure, too. Check out the whole article, written by Laura Stack, at www.office.microsoft.com. 1.Be informal, not sloppy. Use abbreviations with friends but remember that your email will be easier to

When using e-mail for work or volunteer work (maybe you’re on a committee or board of directors) it’s suggested that you concentrate on one subject per message whenever possible. 3. Use sentence case. USING ALL CAPITAL LETTERS LOOKS AS IF YOU'RE SHOUTING. Using all lowercase letters looks lazy. For emphasis, use asterisks or bold formatting to emphasize important words. Do not, however, use a lot of colours or graphics embedded in your message, because not everyone uses an e-mail program that can display them. 4. Use the blind copy (BCC) and courtesy copy (CC) appropriately. Don't use blind copy to keep others from seeing who you copied; it shows confidence when you di-
rectly copy anyone receiving a copy. Do use BCC, however, when sending to a large distribution list, so recipients won't have to see a huge list of names. Copy only people who are directly involved. 5. Don't use e-mail as an excuse to avoid personal contact. Don't forget the value of face-to-face or even voiceto-voice communication. Email communication isn't appropriate when sending confusing or emotional messages. 6.Remember that e-mail isn't private. Unless you are using an encryption device (hardware or software), you should assume that e-mail over the Internet is not secure. Never put in an e-mail message anything that you wouldn't put on a postcard. Remember that e-mail

can be forwarded, so unintended audiences may see what you've written. You might also inadvertently send something to the wrong party, so be careful with what you write. 7. Use the subject field to indicate content and purpose. Don't just say, "Hi!" or "From Laura." The subject line needs to give an indication of what the e-mail is about. 8. Remember that your tone can't be heard in email. E-mail communication can't convey the nuances of verbal communication. In an attempt to infer tone of voice, some people use “emoticons”, but use them sparingly. Don't assume that using a smiley face will diffuse a difficult message. E-mail can be a great way to stay in touch. Sometimes, though, there are people who send out a constant stream of e-mails that contain jokes and other “forwards”. Next week’s
column will cover “forwarding” e-mails. There at least two issues with forwards: what to do if you receive one of those “forwards” and you wonder if the claim is true or false; and how to get a friend to stop sending you jokes and sayings.

County prepares to roll out green box pilot project for organics
Chad Ibbotson
Staff writer
Green boxes will be a prominent curbside sight across the municipality starting this month as the County begins collecting organic waste. A release from the municipality says the green bin program will be open to any county resident with regularly scheduled curbside garbage collection and options may be available in some apartment buildings. The program was approved in January at a cost of $168,000 per year for collection and a one-time start-up cost of $132,010 for green bins, kitchen catcher and information guides. One Waste Management garbage truck with two compartments will collect tagged garbage and green bin organic waste. “Though participating in the green bin program is voluntary, residents are encouraged to take advantage of the opportunity,� the release says. Prince Edward County director of operations Preston Parkinson said, among
new program The county will begin collecting or-
ganic waste this month and will be selling green bins to county residents who want to take part in the service. The bins go on sale Saturday, Aug. 10. (Chad Ibbotson/Gazette staff)
other things, the program would save residents money by cutting the volume of waste going into regular garbage bags. “Using a green bin saves residents money on bag tags, reduces the pressure on the County’s landfill sites and helps the environment,� said Parkinson. “It’s a win-win-win situation.� Green bins for the organic waste recycling service will be available for purchase starting on Aug.
10. Anyone who purchases one of the 1,500 available bins can enter their name
into a draw to win a supply of liner bags. The 79-litre green bins will cost $20 and come with a seven-litre kitchen catcher, two free liner bags, coupons for liner bags and a green bin guide. On Saturday, Aug. 10 the bins will be available for purchase from 8 a.m. to noon at Picton Home Hardware, the Wellington and District Community Centre, and the Ameliasburgh garage at 15 Coleman St. The same locations and times apply to a second sale date on Saturday, Aug. 24. Starting on Aug. 12 the bins will be available for purchase Monday to Friday at Shire Hall in Picton from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The municipality will be offering residents more information on the green bin organic waste collection service at two separate information sessions. The first will take place Wednesday, Aug. 14 from
6:30–7:30 p.m. at the Wellington and District Community Centre. The second will take place on Tuesday, Sept. 17 from 6:30–7:30 at night at Shire Hall. More information on the service also can be found on the www.pecounty.on.ca/gree nbin. A fact sheet provided by the municipality says organic waste accounts for more than 45 per cent of
household garbage and that every half tonne of organic waste diverted from landfills to organic recycling saves the planet from a tonne of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas. Aside from the obvious organics — like yard waste, meat, fruit and vegetables — organic waste can also include bones, waxed cardboard products, refrigerated food boxes, napkins and paper towels.

a novel that takes place in The County in 1975 written by Karen I. Smith, is now on Kobo and Amazon’s Kindle e-books for the public’s enjoyment. Starting Over from Scratch is dedicated to Des Marcille, and is inspired by him as well, so that it’s filled with good humour and funny events, yet serious content.
If you like to laugh while you’re absorbed in a very interesting story, this piece of literature is for you. May I thank Sherree Felstead of Wellington for the expertise needed, and given, to put it on Kindle.

All the latest information available about mulching gardens
To return to recent topics on the Master Gardeners’ blog, there were discussions on mulching which explored new ground. This included: what is the safe to use, how to access it, the depth of the mulch and where it should go. The most disturbing information came from a Master Gardener (MG) who had worked in a very large gardening centre that made and dyed their own mulch. She suggested that the type of materials used such as wood from old buildings might be suitable in an already polluted urban area, such as boulevards on crowded roadways, but not in gardens. Another MG who had toured such a site corroborated her information on the types of wood being used. She believed that the workers who dyed this mulch were at risk from

handling the noxious chemicals involved. She described them as coughing and covered with dye when they left the dyeing area. There were no suggestions
that these dyes would hurt plants, just humans. The humans that dyed the mulch were clearly more at risk than those using it. That just makes it harder to rationalize using dyed mulch. If you consult the web and look for dyed mulch you can find as many different answers as you could want. There is even an ad for dyed mulches where the dye used will supposedly enrich your garden. The concerns on these sites around using dyed mulch appear to be around the risk to plants and the aesthetics involved. Both issues are genuine gardener concerns. Suggestions for ensuring safe mulches on the MG site were to purchase them from a reputable source in your area and ask questions about what you are purchasing. If they say it is made

from a specific source such as pine, they are not likely to be providing chips of dubious origins. A “wood chips only� label is not a safe choice. For those that like a darker mulch, bark mulch can provide a browner appearance that could be satisfactory if you want to avoid dyes. Again if bark is specified it would not be coming from a painted, stained or otherwise treated source. If you are worried about dyes but love their appearance you may want to ask your supplier for precise information on the dyes used. Given that one web site had said they use environmentally helpful dyes, they may actually exist. If the local source has no useful information, try the web for the information available. Unfortunately a non-local source for a product as profusely used as mulch is not a real solution. One MG commented that his municipality provided wood chips made from newly removed limbs and trees. They did not dye
these chips. Municipalities that provide compost or wood chips are not in this business for profit, but redirection from land fill sites. This can be an inexpensive safe source if such is available. Unfortunately this does not appear to be happening locally. Other sources of mulch are compost, but coarse mulch compost is best used under some other forms of mulch on ornamental beds. The MG mentioned above, who had worked in a nursery, used only organic straw as mulch. Given the untidy appearance of my vegetable gardens on which I always use straw as mulch, I cannot say that I would try it on my ornamental beds. This does not mean that more orderly gardeners would not be successful. Further, the MG site provided new advice on mulching trees or large shrubs. Instead of the standard 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 cm) they are currently suggesting that up to 2 feet (60 cm) can be used. This must

be very course material, at least a half an inch (1.25 cm) in size to allow both moisture and air to still circulate. The mulch must be well away from the base of the tree. The space between the mulch and the tree can also be used to get water to the tree when there is little rain. This might be particularly useful if new trees are well away from a water source or the gardener is away from home for extended periods. While mulching remains an excellent practice for prevention of weed growth and retention of water, what to use and where and how has become a more complex issue. All that is clear at this time is that the standard ‘caveat emptor’ becomes very important in choosing mulches. As for the gardener, aesthetics are always an important part of the prevention/retention mix. Have a gardening question? Send it to askamastergardener@xplornet.com and we’ll get an answer for you.

Get your kids to help you get organized this summer With summer in full swing and kids and teens out of school, finding fun and rewarding activities that keep children occupied and engaged without breaking the bank, tops every busy parent’s list. While wondering what to do with the kids, you probably have a pretty lengthy to-do list of summer projects around the house, including getting organized (and getting rid of extra stuff) before the chaos of back-to-school hits in September. If you are planning on holding a yard sale this summer, get your kids involved
by having them help collect and sort items around the house for disposal, recycling and sale. Children can also lend a hand by getting crafty and making posters and signs to advertise the sale in the community. “Get your family to start collecting items for your yard sale several weeks in advance and ask friends and neighbours if they have anything to contribute,” says Phil Dorner, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association. “When the day of your yard sale arrives, encourage children to help lay out the goods and put price stickers on the
items – remember that people love to haggle so set your prices with room to negotiate! Get your children to keep a log of all the items sold and help count and collect the money.” Yard Sale Checklist: • Set a date: Choose a date and time for your sale and check local regulations to see if you need a permit. Weekends are usually best for yard sales, and most run from seven or eight in the morning until four or five in the afternoon. You'll also need to set a rain date – usually the next day if your sale is on a Saturday.
• Advertise: In addition to signs, you can also mention your sale information on Facebook and Twitter, and post it on websites like Kijiji or craigslist. Many community newspapers offer free or inexpensive ad space – just be sure to plan well in advance to meet their deadlines. • Get organized: Organize your sale items by category and pack them into clearly marked boxes. Keep in mind that yard sale enthusiasts like to start early so it’s helpful to get everything set up the night before if possible. • Stock up on change: As most of your

transactions will involve small amounts, it’s a good idea to have $100 or more in small bills and coins on hand. Buyers will often stop at a bank machine before they come, so expect to get a lot of twenties early in the day. “The objective of your yard sale should be to rid your home of clutter and put a little money in your pocket,” says Dorner. If you are clearing your home of unwanted items in preparation for sale, be sure to speak to a Realtor about other ways to make your home more attractive to potential buyers.

SHOW, from page 1
After working on earth tones early in his career, BaileyBrown and his wife developed a special glaze in 1986 and have been working in porcelain ever since. They also picked a signature colour set as they now use blues, pinks, browns, and whites that were inspired by neapolitan ice cream. ‘A lot of people say they’re happy colours.” Bailey-Brown said generally people really have to love the larger pieces to buy them, but some really look for his artful pieces like a rhubarb leaf serving plate or a one-ofa-kind vase. Oreste Papageorgiou also comes to the Picton show because he has clients who are looking for a hand- crafted product they can’t get anywhere else. The London-based chef deals primarily in garlic spreads and hummus products. He said three years ago, he added the show onto his tour after doing an event in Brighton and felt it was a nice place to find new clients, particularly due given the number of people who vacation in the county. He said a lot of people are looking for originality and they’re looking for health products — things he’s catered his menu to offer. “We started out selling (Greek dessert) baklava, but people wanted healthy foods,” he said. “No vegetable has more protein than the chick pea. It helps fight heart disease. Hummus is primarily chick peas.” Papageorgiou offers some rare flavours, however, including a chocolate hum-

mus and about 10 other varieties. Papageorgiou said shows like the Picton craft show help build repeat clientele and indeed, just as he was speaking to a Gazette reporter, a patron asked for a favourite to restock her fridge and vouched for the quality of the product. Indeed, diversification appeared to be the name of the game at the 30th show as it didn’t just feature the handicrafts one might expect, but food, clothing, floral arrangements, and even theatre companies. Paulina McMahon was this year’s show convener. She said the organizers used traditional advertising and new methods like Kijiji to reach a wider group of potential exhibitors. “We had a few more vendors than last year. We had 246 vendors booked but unfortunately due to the weather there were several no shows,” McMahon said. “As to the variety, we had more variety this year than in others due to the increased
advertising.” As far as traffic through the gates, McMahon said the show was actually a bit down this year, with more than 3,500 people attending last Thursday. Considering the morning rains, McMahon said the District Women’s Institute was pleased with the turnout. While she still said there are bills to be paid, McMahon confirmed that with $3 gate fees alone, the show brought in more than $10,000 to help community projects such as accessible transit and scholarship programs for local students. While some, like BaileyBrown say they’ll return to the show until they can;t any more, McMahon said her major goal for Year 31 and beyond is to continue to promote the show to a broader range of vendors and visitors. “We need to promote the hell out of the show to bring more visitors...which means aggressivley promoting our show in print, radio and the social networks.”

Ontario champions dole out hardware, hand wear Pirates presented Schmalz Cup rings alongside individual awards Chad ibbotson
Staff writer
Following the most successful season in team history, Picton Pirates management had the unenviable task of picking the standout performers from last season for this year's awards banquet. The banquet was held on Aug. 2 at the Prince Edward Community Centre where the club honoured a team filled with crafty veterans and emerging rookies among an audience of team staff, family and friends. Pirates coach and general manager Ryan Woodward said there was a great turnout for the event. “We were very happy with the evening and there was a fantastic turnout from players, parents, fans, sponsors and volunteers,” he said. “It was a terrific night and I think everyone was excited to get their championship rings and see everyone once again.” It was a special year for the provincial Junior C champion pirates; one in which club records were broken and new heights achieved. Woodward said it was exciting to have everyone together for the night. “It's a special group of young men and people involved in the organization. Any time you can get back together and rekindle some memories and celebrate one more time made for a great evening,” he said. “We were all happy to see familiar faces and talk about all the things we went through and share a few laughs.” When a team has a season like the Pirates had, Woodward said it's tough to pick the best. He said so many players were deserving as each filled their respective roles exceptionally. “It wasn't a team of individuals, that's for sure,” Woodward said. Woodward noted that team captain Brandon Peever had a great year, as did fellow veterans Ryan Sizer, Jack Davison, and Evan Greer. Newcomers like Mitchell Smith, Kenny Murduff, Levi George and Cole Bolton, and returning players like Erik Hayes, Brian Bunnett, Braeden Walsh and

Wil Healey all added an important depth to the roster. “It goes on and on. You don't want to leave anybody out,” Woodward said. “Everybody played an important role.” Whether it was Geoff Cleminson and his play against the Lakefield Chiefs or Andrew Pearson and Adam Wood standing tall in net, Woodward said throughout the playoffs different players stepped up every night. There were many positive stories out of this season and many players to acknowledge, Woodward said. “Ultimately it's a team that we'll remember for a long time,” he said. Woodward thanked those who helped make the banquet a success. The awards went to: Best defenceman, Brandon Peever and Nolan Powers; William “Bill” Strachan most sportsmanlike player, Mitchell Smith; Walter E. Norton rookie of the year,

Pirates acquire winger Jones from Port Hope www.pictongazette.com THURSDAY, AUGUST 8, 2013

Staff writer
Thanks to a long and successful playoff run, Picton Pirates staff haven't had as much time this off season to plan for next year, but — with the club's main training camp set to open in a couple of weeks — things are picking up steam. With the shorter off season Picton coach and general manager Ryan Woodward said time has seemed to fly by. He said there were a lot of things the championship team deserved to experience this summer. “We've all enjoyed that, so trying to prepare for next year just makes your summer a little bit busier than normal, but I wouldn't have it any other way,” he said. “In a couple of weeks we're getting back to the rink. After seeing everybody (at the awards banquet) on Friday we're starting to get that itch to get back into playing some real hockey games.” He said it will take some work, but he will be looking to build off of last season's success going into this season's first game. On Sunday the club announced the acquisition of 20-year-old Chris Jones from the Port Hope Panthers. Woodward said Jones is a versatile veteran who can play both forward and defence. “He's big and he's a twoway guy who plays the game hard,” Woodward said. “… We think he'll fit into the mold we're trying to build here.” While the addition will add size and depth, Woodward said there are a lot of unknowns coming into training camp. Woodward said there are a number of

players moving on so — although the club is happy to play a positive role in their development — there will be a lot of free spots when the main camp opens on Aug. 18. “Any time you can help a player with their development and move them on to the next level, we're happy to be a part of that,” he said. “Our main camp is coming up here in a couple weeks and there are a lot of open spots and we're expecting it to be a competitive camp.” He said both team staff
and the players will be returning to the ice with the same motivation they had last season. “It's been a short summer, but we're all coming back here motivated and hungry and understanding that we have to start from square one again,” he said. “The sooner we get our mind set on that and starting fresh, the better.” While there will be spots available, Woodward said it's too early to tell how many will be open or just who will and won't be back
in the white, black, and red. “We've got some good older players that are going to be returning, we have a good solid core. We're going to have a lot of leadership coming back and experience,” he said. “… The big thing is getting back to camp fresh and putting last year behind us as soon as we can.” There are plenty of good, young hockey players up for grabs, Woodward said. He said he expects them to come to camp looking to earn a spot. “Nothing is going to be handed to anybody — that's just the way we do things in Picton. These guys are going to have to come back in shape and hungry and ready to go,” he said. The Pirates main camp will open on Sunday, Aug. 18 at Essroc Arena in Wellington and will continue Tuesday, Aug. 20. The club will get into exhibition action right away in a clash with the Campbellford Rebels Thursday, Aug. 22. The camp will be smaller than the club has seen in previous seasons, but Woodward said he doesn't expect the competitiveness to decrease. With a lot of players from the team's prospects camp in July and some veterans expected to participate, Woodward said there will be a solid mix. “We're looking forward to it, its going to be here before we know it, and I'm excited to get back to the rink,” he said.

There has been a shakeup in the Prince Edward County Men's Fastball League standings with just a few weeks left in the regular season schedule. Defending playoff champion Whitepine Watershed broke through Tuesday night, stomping the Beatty Seeds Huskers 11-2 en route to their ninth win of the season. Nick Brooks smacked a two-run double in the first inning and was the winning pitcher. With three straight wins, the Deseronto club has compiled a 9-3-3 record and jumped to the head of the PECMFL pack with 21 points. While Whitepine was was putting it to the Huskers, Roblin's Family Plumbing was getting waxed in Frankford at the hands of Danford Contracting to the tune of 13-0. The Copperheads (8-4-4) now sit in second place with 20 points and have played
two more contests than first-place Whitepine. The Danford crew (9-3-0) has made a nice move up the PECMF standings and with 18 points plus four games in hand on Roblin's, the Frankford contingent could soon be sitting in second place. With an 8-6-0 mark and 16 points, Beatty's look like a firm bet to hold down fourth in the league. The Terra Vista Rockies (4-9-3) and the Warren Excavating Ameliasburgh A's (56-1) are tied for fifth with 11 points. In action Thursday, Whitepine took a double dip from the Rox, edging them 2-0 in the opener and blasting them 10-1 in the nightcap. The A's beat up on the Copperhead's 8-1. Ian Wallwork batted in three runners while Jamie Caughill and Eric Wells each had two RBIs for the Green Machine. In Frankford, Danford bested the Tweed Midgets by a 6-1 margin

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you have a firm grasp on what you need to accomplish in the week ahead. Stay focused on your tasks and that focus will pay off by the end of the week. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, your financial burden is a little easier this week. Perhaps you have caught up on bills or have received a little extra money you didn't expect. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, whether you are in a relationship or are looking for a new romantic partner, the next few days are the moments for putting on the charm. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, many things need to get done this week before you can set work aside and take a much-needed vacation. Once you get through the bulk of things, you can relax. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Save some of your good fortune for others, Leo. When you share the wealth, not only will you feel better about yourself, but also you will certainly have more friends around you. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Without you the well-oiled wheels of the work machine just won't spin correctly, Virgo. That can put a lot of pressure on you in your career, so weigh the options of a day off.
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, sometimes you have to be the voice of reason, and this won't always make you popular with others. Though some may not rally around you this week, they'll relent. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Something that seemed like a good idea at first glance may not seem like the best thing to do right now, Scorpio. Switch gears while you can still take another path. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, although you may rather spend your time doing something else for the next few days, handle your upcoming obligations without complaint. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Surround yourself with close friends, Capricorn. They will serve as your anchor in difficult situations that may come to pass this week. It's good to have a support system. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 There is more to you than others see, Aquarius. Sometimes you relish in being mysterious, and this is one of those times. Others' interest will be piqued. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Don't take any sniffles or sneezes for granted, Pisces. Make sure this week you pay attention to your health to ensure good days ahead.

Hepburn, Graham, Harrison honoured as cumulative total passes $250,000 adam BramBurger
Staff writer
When the Rotary Club of Picton tees off Aug. 23 for its 24th annual charity golf tournament, it will do so without two of its best known characters. For years, longtime Rotarians Dusty Graham and Barney Hepburn would have been right in the middle of the crowd, sharing their jokes and enjoying the day. Sadly, the club lost both members in the past year, Hepburn in October and Graham in December. Their presence, both at the tournament and in so many things the club does, was so strong, Rotary decided it would make sure the two men would always be remembered at its largest fundraising event. Starting this year, the club will be changing the name of its tournament from the Wilf Harrison Memorial Golf Classic to include recognition for both Hepburn and Graham. “They were very instrumental in making the tournament a success,” said Leo Finnegan, one of the tournament’s organizers for many years alongside all three men. Finnegan said the tournament started in the late 1980s to help benefit the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital. He recalled the Ministry of Health telling community organizers that if they raised $3 million, the government would match that contribution and bring 15 chronic care beds to the local facility. He said Rotary made a commitment and contributed to a successful campaign, but the government later changed its position. Still, Rotary was able to help bring in funds for medical equipment, something it

has continued to work on in the years to come at the tournament. In those early years, Graham had a lot of contacts through business and sports — he had been an investment banker on Bay Street and was also an wellknown linesman in junior hockey circles — and he often worked to sell a lot of sponsorship for the event. Hepburn, a past County warden, Picton reeve, and club president also had a lot of contacts and encouraged people to come out. Tournament chair Chris Skinner said at dinner this year, there will be a time set aside to remember and honour both men as well as Harrison, who was also a

key driver of the tournament. “We had a lot of support for Barney and Dusty and people wanted to do something to recognize them,” said Skinner. “We’re going to have a component that talks to each of them and really recognizes them.” Finnegan added that alongside the two members, Harrison also will not be forgotten. A similar tribute is also being planned for the man Graham suggested the tournament be named for back in the 1990s. Harrison was one of the founders of the event and he, too, was a committed fundraiser and organizer. He also was a past president of the Picton club. According to Finnegan, in its early days, the tournament was played on a ninehole course where the current Picton Golf and Country Club is today. He said the Rotarians used to play in the morning and their guests in the afternoon
— and they never had trouble selling out the event. Skinner said this year’s draw is well on its way to a sell out. Those looking to participate can contact him at 613-476-3455 ext. 4000. The price is $185 which includes 18 holes with a cart, lunch, dinner, grab bags, a gift certificate, a raffle, a live auction and a tax receipt. With several community sponsors this year and with the likes of Hepburn, Graham, and Harrison smiling on the event, Skinner said the tournament is about to pass a major milestone. “This year we’re going to be topping the quarter-million dollar mark in terms of proceeds from the event.” Skinner said some of the proceeds from Rotary’s largest annual fundraiser will go to support the local hospital, but it also helps pay for a number of the charitable projects the club takes on each year.

Dukes forward Marchment heading north to Belleville this fall
Jason Parks
Staff writer
Jake Marchment is forgoing Buffalo and going to Belleville. The hulking centre has agreed to join the Belleville Bulls of the Ontario Hockey League after the Major Junior squad acquired his rights earlier this week from the North Bay Battalion for a sixth round draft pick in the 2014 midget priority draft. The Courtice native suited up for the Duke in 49 regular season games last season, picking up seven goals and 13 assists for 20 points while providing the local Junior A squad significant muscle in the corners and in front of the net. Originally drafted by the Battalion in 2011, Marchment had accepted an offer to play NCAA Division I hockey at Canisius College in Buffalo in 2015 prior to joining Wellington but will give up that path to jump into the major junior ranks as an 18-year-old rookie. Marchment was complimentary to the Wellington Dukes and head coach and general manager Marty Abrams when news of the trade was announced on Bellevillebulls.com "Being a part of the Wellington Dukes program last season was a great experience," Marchment told the website. "I think I developed my game significantly under head coach Marty Abrams and was able to familiarize myself with the Quinte region. We went a little young as a team but I think we all gained from

For more information or to register your child, call 613-399-2292. â&#x2013; Dukes seasons tickets and Dudley Hewitt Cup packages are also on sale through the Dukes office or by calling Betty Masterson at 613-399-1573. The teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preseason starts with a benefit in Napanee for former Duke B.J. Ketcheson Aug. 27. Tickets are available at the Dukes' box office and at Lavender Furniture.
Abrams said. When looking to replace the minutes that would have gone to a Marchment, Abrams thinks he already has picked up a player that can fill that role in Steven Deeg. Deeg was acquired from the Whitby Fury this spring and the veteran, while not as physical as Marchment, brings a wealth of experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is looking like a very significant trade as we say goodbye to Jake,â&#x20AC;? Abrams said. In other Dukes news... â&#x2013; The club is hosting its annual hockey school starting

the approach the club took and gradually improved." For his part, even though he is losing what could have been a key cog in a club that will host the Dudley Hewitt Cup next spring, Abrams was thrilled Marchment was making the jump to the best development league in the world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a natural progression for Jake and his style of play suits the OHL. He had a ton of options open to him, but we a happy he made this choice and we are thrilled it's worked out so he can go to Belleville,â&#x20AC;? Abrams said. Marchment will suit up for the Bulls this coming season and, with his physical play, will likely remind

The show will include presentations of The History of Shadows — which was first presented in 2010 — and new production Almost. Small Pond Arts co-owner, artist, and playwright Krista Dalby said this will be the first time Almost — written and directed by Dalby — has been performed in shadow puppetry. Described as “funny and heartbreaking,” it is a love story set in a post 9/11 world. The production has been performed dozens of times nationally and internationally and in 2007 won best script and best production at the world's largest short play festival — Short and Sweet — in Sydney, Australia.

“I'm really excited to be exhibiting that one for the first time in puppetry. It's a love story, it's about an office romance,” she said. “It's actually quite funny, but it has its darker moments as well.” The History of Shadows, Dalby said, will feature local actor Rick Zimmerman as narrator Professor Von Luminous Van Murk leading the audience on a trip through time for a dark look at humanity. “The concept is that he's on a book tour for his book The History of Shadows. He's an older gentleman so it's been his lifelong passion exploring this theme of lightness and dark,” Dalby said. “Intermixed with this true history, we learn a lot about his own story and his personal path. Those two narra-
Dalby encouraged everyone to come and check out the performances. She said shadow puppetry is something a lot of people might not be familiar with, but could enjoy if they attend. “The collaborators I work with are really skilled puppeteers and designers and it's a really strong example of the art form,” she said. “People might not know what it is, but I think it would really speak to people on an emotional level.” The performances take place on Aug. 22, 23, and 24 at 8 p.m. Small Pond Arts is located on an 87-acre farm at 337 Clarke Road in Picton. Admission is $10 and visitors are encouraged to bring their own blankets, chairs, and bug spray. The performances will take place rain or shine.

tives are intertwined throughout the play.” While Dalby said the show is geared toward adults for the first time, Dalby said she doesn't expect much to change. “In the past we were trying to make our shows really family friendly, but it turns out most of our audience is adults anyway,” Dalby said. She said she believes much of that stems from the late setting of the show. She said she had a desire to present something adults could sink their imaginations into. “As a playwright, the types of stories I'm interested in telling are perhaps more complex or more mature,” Dalby said. “They're certainly not x-rated or anything like that, but they really are adult stories.”

Berries make for a great summer treat: eat them alone, with ice cream, or in baking There is a bottle of chocolate syrup in the fridge! So guess what I had? Oh, it was so good! Berries and ice cream are always the best summer treat. I found some berry recipes to share with you here, so you can enjoy your summer treats also! Always a favourite, a nice pie is welcome when company drops in. It is even nicer with ice cream.

for all. Plus I am getting much appreciation for what I do and how I handle business. That makes all the difference in the world you know. I thought I would sit and make time to catch up with you all mid-summer. You know what happens to me when I get to busy: I just get so tired. But I have had a couple days off here to restore myself…and my messy house, so wanted to say hi to all and hope you are having a happy summer. I know you work hard also and try to keep things going with home and family. Hopefully you are all having some summer fun. I was happy to see my raspberries doing awesome this summer. I love raspberries best I think. I had one row of them and they were very prolific. I have been picking and freezing them. Jam can be made in cooler weather. Bob just brought home a tub of Chapman’s French vanilla ice cream so I mashed up some berries with a little sugar and,oh, guess what?

RASPBERRY PIE
■ Three or four cups of raspberries ■ Three-quarters of a cup sugar ■ Two tablespoons cornstarch ■ A pinch of salt ■ Two tablespoons butter
Mix sugar, cornstarch and salt and spread one-quarter of this over bottom crust. ( I would also sprinkle minute tapioca here as well. Helps keep pie from being too runny) Fill your pie shell with raspberries, sprinkle rest of sugar mixture over berries, dot with butter and cover with top crust.
Bake at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes, then turn down to 350 degrees for 30 minutes, until crust is lightly browned. This is a basic Mennonite pie that is recipe simple and good. I haven’t made a berry pie in years. It is time to do so! Okay this sounds like a special dish worth making. It recommends you do not try to increase measurements as it won’t set right. So maybe just for two to enjoy?

I think this year I will make regular raspberry jam and a batch of the light jam as well. The lighter jam is a softer set, making it work well as a topping for pancakes, and what-
ever you want it on…..like ice cream. You know how there are ice cubes made with mint leaves in them? Why not a couple of berries in each? Wouldn’t that be pretty in cool summer drinks? I would try that, but my ice cube trays are in my dresser drawer keeping all my earrings organized. Which is a good thing in itself! Okay I’ve go work for the next five days, so stop in the store and say hi when your heading to the beach or out for a drive. And hey stop tossing the coffee cups et cetera from the car please! There are far too many of them out there now. It’s time to take a little pride in our home. We could all use a container in our vehicles to keep our waste in. It’s not hard. Have a safe, good summer.

“Strawberries, cherries and an angels kiss in spring, My summer wine is really made from all these things…” Do you remember that song? Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazelwood sang it sometime in the 1960s and it’s been going through my head all day. It’s interesting how a song will pop into your mind like that. It happens all the time. When I work in the garden it seems to be Elvis. Really. Not any song, but one in particular.: “Are You Lonesome Tonight?” I hum it sometimes and sing it because I remember all the words, you know. Music is a good thing. Especially the music I know. Good old rock and roll. Well it is summer now with a capital S. We were having a heat wave at the time of writing and I do have trouble with so much humidity. It just wears me out. But overall it is a good summer with everything growing well — not like in the the drought of last year. That was bad. This year I did mulch good and hoped for the best. Right now, we could use a rain here at West Lake, it is that dry. There were a couple of days when Bob came home from Black River and told me it had poured rain there, but we didn’t have it here at home. Hopefully we will get a good day of it very soon. I just don’t have the energy this year to lug much water around. What with working a lot this summer, that takes about all I have. But summer is short so I am doing my very best. Customers are happy with the upgrades and new products at the Tambo and we have a decent friendly atmosphere going which makes it better

Proponent, MOE cite lack of evidence concerning Blandingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turtle population and risk
APPEALS, from page 1
â&#x20AC;&#x153;All we know is that every time one of these projects goes ahead, more people are complaining of the same symptoms,â&#x20AC;? he said. Hanna indicated he still doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe the precautionary principle is being considered with humans being used as guinea pigs. About four years ago, the Big Island man led the first legal challenge of wind turbines in Ontario and he says even now theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; re still fighting the same battle.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Consider the money that has been spent legally on both sides. Our side has spent close to half a million dollars â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all after tax dollars â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the developers and government have likely spent considerably more,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re four years into this and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; s still as up in the air, misunderstood, and hot now.â&#x20AC;? Hanna still charges if time and money had been spent up front to have proper epidemiological studies done on the impacts of turbines on health, the government could have calmed fears or ad-

dressed shortcomings. Instead, plenty of money has been spent and nothing has really happened. One thing Hanna did say is that despite all the money and frustration, APPEC isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in a position where it is about to quit fighting for residents in the county or elsewhere in Ontario on the health question because the impacts of the development are â&#x20AC;&#x153;still completely unknownâ&#x20AC;? and people across the province have reported discomfort since turbines were erected. The filing submitted by lawyer Eric Gillespie indicates that APPEC believes the ERT erred in law or acted unreasonably in: not finding the application would cause serious harm to human health, not establishing a causal link between turbines and direct or indirect harm to human health at the 550- metre setback required under the Renewable Energy Approval, or the 40 -decibel limit also prescribed by that same approval. APPEC also asked for consideration regarding costs for the appeal and any other relief the courts could offer and has requested the hearing be in Toronto. Hanna said it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t surprise him to hear the proponent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a group theat includes Gilead Power and a number of investors â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was appealing, but he was taken aback by the fact the MOE had also filed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very surprised by that. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s their own tribunal and it clearly told them the
governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position was wrong,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is our tax dollars fighting against our tax dollars.â&#x20AC;? PECFN received copies of the appeals filed by counsel representing the proponent and the MOE and it forwarded those documents to the Gazette. The MOEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s counsel, led by Sylvia Davis, made a sixpoint submission in which it asked for the decision to be overturned at the Renewable Energy Approval reinstated and any relief the court may permit it. At its core the appeal centres around the courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interpretation of the Environmental Protection Act (EPA) and the Endangered Species Act (ESA) with respect to the Blandingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turtle. The appeal suggests the ERTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s findings contradict basic principles of statutory interpretation that the EPA and ESA were drafted with one another in mind and should have been dealt with in that fashion. It also suggested the ERT erred in finding the addition of access roads would cause serious and irreversible harm to the Blandingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turtle population despite the fact no evidence was given regarding the size of the species population on the site or adjacent to it, nor were there reports on current or expected traffic patterns or evidence related to poaching in the area. It also suggested the tribunal erred in its ruling on the Blandingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turtle popula-

failed to consider gaps in the evidence presented with regard to the potential risk to Blandingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turtles. The proponentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s submission also addressed the issue of natural justice and fairness by failing to invite submissions with respect to its remedial powers under the EPA and failing to consider alternatives to the revocation of the REA. PECFN president Cheryl Anderson said her organization wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fazed by the two appeals of the ruling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very disappointing, but we were expecting it,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just part of what was available for them to do and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bullying tactic as far as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m concerned.â&#x20AC;? Anderson said PECFN will not be bullied into giving up its fight for the south shore and she said it feels the Ministry of Natural Resources should have done the required studies on Blandingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turtles before issuing a permit to kill, harm, and destroy them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make logical sense to me,â&#x20AC;? she said, adding she finds it ironic a small community group would be fighting two ministries of the Crown to protect important habitat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely David and Goliath, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure the divisional court will agree with the ERT that this project should not go ahead. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty sure it will come out exactly the way it should.â&#x20AC;?

tion on the site as there was â&#x20AC;&#x153;no evidence the turtle within this area was genetically unique or somehow different or separate from the Blandingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turtle population in the province as a whole.â&#x20AC;? Lastly, it charged the ERT violated the principles of natural justice and the rules of procedural fairness by revoking the REA without calling for submissions or alternatives to quashing it. It called that particularly egregious since there is no right of reconsideration of a decision under the ERTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own rules. The submission on behalf of Ostrander Point GP Inc. was prepared by the law firm of McCarthy Tetrault LLP and it contained 20 bullet points. Much like the appeal put forward by the MOE, the proponentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s argument stated that the ERT misapplied or misinterpreted the criteria in section 145.2.1(2)(b) of the EPA. It argued the ERT unreasonably focused solely on the Blandingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turtles on or near the project site, rather than on a province-wide basis and unreasonably placed the onus on the proponent and MOE to prove the project would not cause serious or irreversible harm based on the mitigation set out by the Ministry of Natural Resourcesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; endangered species permit. Instead, it argued the onus should have been placed on PECFN to prove the mitigation plan would not be effective. It also charged the ERT
