Women’s Institute craft show still draws thousands Variety of vendors, volume of traffic surprising to newcomers

The Prince Edward District Women's Institute's premier fundraising event may have been going for close to three decades, but the show never seems to stale in the eyes of its loyal visitors and vendors. The show that had humble beginnings in Wellington in 1973 has continued to achieve remarkable loyalty in both customers and sell-

ers. The event celebrated its 29th anniversary on Aug. 2, but the show continues to draw thousands of new and loyal returning customers and raise thousands that goes right back into the community. Kingston resident Elsie Hammond visited the show for the first time last Thursday and, after spending a short time looking at the quality and variety of wares, has already decided she will be back again. “It's really fantastic. It's beautiful. It's overwhelming and it's amazing that everybody has so much talent that they can do all this,” she said while examining some hand
painted glass products. Hammond said she has attended craft sales of similar size in Toronto, but said the little extra customer service in Prince Edward County went a long way toward making it a more enjoyable experience. “This is my first time here and I'll be coming back next year and staying overnight so I can get a good start in the morning,” she said. “This is a lot better than the one in Toronto. People are so friendly and helpful — it's just amazing. I really am enjoying it.” Hammond said the sheer number of customers making their way through the
Prince Edward Community Centre, curling club and Crystal Palace was surprising considering the show had just started. “We had to park way at the back and we've just started. Next year I'm saving up a little more money — it's beautiful,” she said. Vendor Roy Morrison said this was he and artist Pat Fox's first time at the craft show, a steady line of customers looking over their painted glass products reassuring him that they made the right choice to make the trip from the Havelock area. “It's a terrific show. We've had great comments and it's
well organized. We're happy and hope to be back next year,” said Morrison. More than 240 vendors and thousands of people filled Picton fairgrounds throughout the day. Morrison said he was surprised at how busy the show was. “I've heard rumours, but this is good, very good. It was a long trip, but it was well worth it — we've had a good time,” he said. Prince Edward District Women's Institute president Nancy Wood said she believes it's the quality of the show that creates the sort of loyalty the show enjoys.

The Eastern Ontario Photo Show continues to CLIC with local photographers. This was evident Saturday evening as the third annual event which calls for submissions from professional, amateur and student photogs from all over the region opened with a reception and awards presentation. Presented by the Prince Edward County Arts Council and Photo Life Magazine, a total of 335 photos were entered in this year's show, up over 40 per cent from 2011. A total of 123 photos wound up making the first cut and are available to be
viewed until the show closes Sunday afternoon. CLIC Media spokesperson Tara Wilkinson said the breakdown of exhibitors was about 45-per-cent amateurs or hobbyists, 45per-cent professional or semi-professional and about 10-per-cent students. “And the good news is, about 70 per cent of the photographers with works on display here come from outside of the county so, obviously, the word is getting out,” Wilkinson said, adding that this means plenty of visitors to Prince Edward County. “A lot of the photographers are staying over, many have brought their families, are going out for

dinner, are asking for things to do and looking for recommendations so the show has been a great draw for visitors,” she said. CLIC co-organizer Sue Barclay complimented the 78 artist photographers that managed an entry into the the 2012 show, calling their talents “inspiring.” “As you look around, you can see CLIC has become a celebration of the art of photography,” she said, adding that given that over 70 per cent of the exhibitors came from outside of the municipality, Eastern Ontario is “truly and well represented here this evening.”

LAUGH RIOT!
Even though the former Picton Sewage Treatment Plant at Delhi was phased out and shut down over a year ago, the municipality rolled out the red carpet on Tuesday at its new M. Steven Carroll Treatment Facility as new funding for the Wastewater Treatment plant was announced and the plat was formally opened. Prince Edward-Hastings MP Daryl Kramp and past president of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) Berry Vrbanovic were on hand as an investment of $11 million made through the federally endowed FCM was formally announced. The investment, which comes through FCM's Green Municipal Fund, breaks down into a $1 million grant and a $10 million low interest loan and funds announced Tuesday are in addition to the $10 million collected by Prince Edward County under the Canada-OntarioMunicipal Rural Infrastructure Fund. The Green Fund is available to sustainable community development projects in the over 2,000 municipalities the FCM represents in Canada.
‘We’ve got the Ministry of Environment off our back and we have capacity to allow Picton to grow .’
PETER MERTENS MAYOR
In opening the plant, Prince Edward County Mayor Peter Mertens said Tuesday was “a long time coming” and compared the process of getting Picton's new wastewater treatment plant up and running to watching over a child from its birth until the day they went off to university. After an environmental order was issued calling for the eventual closure of Picton's former plant, the council of the day in 2004 began, what was then thought to be a straight forward process in replacing the existing plant. But Mertens said the consultation process was lengthy, intense and difficult and the process was length-

ened again and again, causing bumps in both cost and construction delays. Ultimately, the process led to the M Steven Carroll Wastewater Treatment Plant, a state-of-the-art facility with a tertiary filtration system that will meet stringent effluent requirements and increase daily treatment to 6,000 cubic metres. In addition, the plant has expansion capabilities for when the town of Picton and the adjacent rural area grows over the next half century. Mertens said that the formal opening of the new plant meant two things. “We've got the Ministry of Environment off our back and we have capacity to allow Picton to grow,” Mertens told the Gazette. Also on hand for Tuesday's announcement was FCM past-president and current City of Kitchener Councillor Berry Vrbanovic. Vrbanovic said the funding comes with an opportunity to draft a case study on all information gleaned from the entire process of designing and building a new wastewater treatment facility. This case study will high light lessons learned so that other communities in Canada can benefit from your experience and they can do the right thing in terms of their wastewater projects in their community,” Vrbanovic said. Vrbanovic pointed the fact the federal government has endowed the Green Municipal Fund and spoke to the importance of such partnerships going forward. “The success of this collaboration is a powerful reminder that the issues faced by our communities cannot and will not be solved by any one level of government on their own,” Vrbanovic said. “Partnerships with other levels government must be a key factor in muni long term planning going forward.” Kramp agreed. Has said the former plant that was built in the 1950's has long outlived its usefulness. “It was decrepit, old and outdated and it could not provide for growth for the community,” Kramp said. “If you wish to progress, develop and transform this community into a more receptive place, we had to work together to provide the infrastructure funding necessary for the plant you see before you today.” “And you have not just a plant for today, but you have a plant for tomorrow,” he added.

Kramp promises streamlined resources regulations MP says $500-million investment in development could pump trillions into economy Jason Parks
Staff writer
While he was visiting Picton for the formal opening of the M. Steven Carroll Wastewater Treatment Facility, Prince Edward-Hastings MP Daryl Kramp made formal comment on the federal government's endeavour to further develop Canada's natural resources. Kramp, who was representing Minister of Natural Resources Joe Oliver at Tuesday's opening, said his colleague's announcement this past spring where by Canada would invest $500 million over the next decade in responsible resources development in a move that would pump trillions of dollars into the nation's economy. Kramp said it's well recognized that Canada is rich in resources and has a great history in the timber, energy, hydro-electricity and mining fields, however, more could be done in harnessing the great economic drivers that, in his mind, have been left idle when compared to potential capacity. “We have a lot of potential but we haven't been aggressive and, as a government, we have stated that natural resources have to be used effectively-with the right stewardship,” Kramp told the Gazette. “To be left unused is a disservice to the Canadian taxpayer.” The local MP added that this initiative of Economic Action Plan 2012 wasn't a case of trying to burn out
all of Canada's resources in the next two decades. “It's not a case of okay, let's use it all up in the next 20 years and there is nothing left for the next generation,” Kramp said. “In most cases, we have an inexhaustible supply of natural resources and we are going to use them to our benefit.” The MP, who has represented Canada in multiple trade tours in Asia since assuming office in 2004, said few countries in the world are creating mining and energy projects on the scale Canada is. “We are truly creating a once in a lifetime opportunity for investors both private and public and certainly for
the investors of Canada pension plan,” he said. Under the new initiative that calls for a “one-project, one-review” process, those looking to develop resources will see a streamlined modernized process that Kramp said would replace the outdated regulatory process. “Bottom line: There will be less red tape and more timely and efficient project reviews that will result in continued economic growth and long term prosperity,” Kramp said. “We all want proper environmental stewardship and we don't need five agencies doing the same thing. It has be done right, it has to be

terms, Hawkins said it’s likely too early to know how the plan will be accepted, though he feels the dedications will be quickly sought after. “We did gather the feeling that if this was made available, people would be very interested,” he said. In addition to finding the funding that would help the BIA maintain the flower arrangements and furnishings downtown, Hawkins said an additional benefit to the program is that the plaques will be provided by a local entrepreneur. To learn more about the opportunities available through the program, interested parties are asked to contact Hawkins by phone at 613-476-9780 or by e-mail at streets@experiencepicton.co m.

There is also a possibility of supporting the existence of flowers and flags for $300 per year. The BIA’s streetscape enhancement committee chair Paul Hawkins said the program was borne out of the BIA’s realization it had to find new revenue streams to continue to provide the enhancements people now expect. “One of the items the BIA has been facing now for a few years has been the decreasing amount of funding available to do the things we want to do that the public can see — benches, flowers, et cetera,” he said. “We want to maintain what we have and if we're finally in a position where we have the means, we'd like to add to it.” Hawkins said the BIA looked to see what other business organizations had done and tried to follow in

Consecon residents brave heat for day of community fun Mid-day weather small blip in 14 hours of family-friendly activities AdAm BrAmBurger
Staff writer
Sometimes, you have to be careful what you wish for. Organizers of the second annual Consecon Community Day were hoping for sunny, dry weather for their annual soap box derby and celebrations Sunday, but in hindsight, a little cooler would have been just fine with them. “Arguably, it was the hottest and most humid day of the year,” said Bill McMahon, the president of the Consecon Area Ratepayers Association. “Shade was at a premium and I’m sure the heat cut into attendance at some of our mid-day events.” Though the 32 derby racers were two more than last year, McMahon said the extra five or six degrees may have scared off what he hoped was going to be an even larger crowd. As it was, he said most participants in the carboot sale that started at 8 a.m. left early, while many parents in the derby left before the awards presentation. “It’s a learning process,” said McMahon. “We were giving out water like it was going out of style.” Still, McMahon said he’s had e-mails from plenty of parents saying their families had great times and offering to volunteer in future years. Among them was one from Andy McNulty, who promised to promote future events, to assist with the derby, and to bring a contender to challenge for first place in 2013. “I couldn’t have had a better time,” wrote McNulty. “There wasn't a sad face on the hill.” The cool of the evening also brought on some good times as more th an 150 people attended a pig roast and pot luck supper at the Legion and many stayed for a street dance with the band Whiskey Overdrive. “We started at the crack of dawn and the band played its last number at quarter-to10,” said McMahon. “For a little community, that’s amazing. They hadn’t had a street dance in Consecon in 14 or 15 years. The old residents were really happy to see that again.” McMahon said one of his
favourite memories of the day was seeing a group of Sri Lankan visitors join in the party wearing their traditional sarongs and seeing them react to the locals and fit right in during the dance. “It was an interesting welcome to Consecon,” he said, adding one of the local men even put on a sarong and learned some of the visitors’ dances and customs. McMahon said that’s the type of thing he likes to see, when Consecon can welcome visitors to see the community people are building there. In fact, one thing he said he’d really like to see during future community events is greater attendance from the Wellington-Bloomfield-Picton corridor. “It would be nice to bring them out so they can experience our part of the county,” he said. Otherwise, McMahon said he was pleased with the increasing number of volunteers helping out with the events and the number of businesses who joined in — some like Emm’s Restaurant and Red Tail Winery running events in concert with the day, and others by simply sponsoring a car in the soapbox derby. “That really is the feature event of the day,” said McMahon. “It truly is all about the kids .” In that feature event, Madison Rowbotham had the best overall time for girls and Brock Sallans had the best overall time for boys. The respective top three group winners by division were... ■ Junior (Ages 5-6) Avery Kelleher, Jake Hamisra, and Sam Toth. ■ Bantam (Age 7-9) Sallans, Nick Kirby, Kaleb Cook ■ Senior (Ages 10-12) Rowbotham, Todd Baldwin, Levi Baldwin. ■ Open age (Ages 13 and over ) Margaret Moore, Shasa Boshoff, Matt Robinson. McMahon said Rowbotham’s family came back home from Toronto just so she could race, while the Boshoff family traveled from North Gower (near Ottawa) and incorporated the soap box derby into plans for a Sandbanks vacation.

Looking back in the
Picton Gazette 80 years ago — 1932
■ Picton council was left scrambling to pay for a $1,000 move of the town fire alarm system after Bell Telephone announced it would be removing its old poles from Main Street. The fire alarm system would have to be moved to hydro poles within the town. ■ A petition before Picton council asked the town to curtail the length of religious meetings being held Saturday nights in front of the Royal Hotel. Business people signing the petition suggested the meetings congested foot traffic on Main Street. Ultimately council limited the Salvation Army and Pentecostal church to threequarters of an hour each. ■ The flagship of the Canadian Steamship Lines’ fleet, S.S. Lemoyne, was spotted off Pt. Traverse. The world’s largest grain carrier, it held all of the records for freight on the Great Lakes.
50 years ago — 1962
■ It was a busy weekend at Outlet Provincial Park as 33,500 people spent their long weekend on beaches and at camp sites. Those turned away from the provincial park filled all of the neighbouring private camp sites toward West Lake. Picton businesses also reported extra business as the tourist season reached its peak weekend. ■ A 48-vehicle convoy left Camp Picton for Shilo, Manitoba. The departure would leave the local base at half strength, however it was expected the First Canadian Guards coming back from Germany could be located in Picton. Major W.P. Newton, the commanding officer said three static units would remain at camp. ■ Outlet Provincial Park wasn’t the only place in the region boasting record traffic on the long weekend. The Glenora ferries set a single-day record for cars and passengers Sunday with 1,996, beating the previous mark by “just a few.”

■ The Wellington Lions Club turned over the keys of a $25,000 canteen building at the village ballpark to the Village of Wellington. They money was raised through the club’s Super Fun Run, 200 Club, and beer fest, and through the sale of more than 1,000 cement blocks. ■ Picton council was considering taking legal action against the owner of a waterfront property in town as boaters left 16 partial oil drums filled with paper and trash scattered on the grounds of the Picton harbour. Councillor Bob King calmed that talk when he arranged to have a garbage truck remove the items from the area quietly. ■ Lake Ontario Cement plant manager Leo Finnegan went on record to clarify that rumours of plant closure were untrue. While he confirmed news of heavy layoffs and a near shutdown between August and November, Finnegan said one of four kilns and all seven cement mills would operate.

The other side of Sandbanks through Sandscapes
Like so many others, I am guilty of taking what we have on our doorstep for granted. I had to begin work as a park naturalist in 1984, before it finally sank in that Sandbanks Provincial Park is a natural gem, unmatched by any other park that I have ever visited in Ontario. I grew up in Prince Edward County and, as a child, played on the same sand dunes that today provides enjoyment for over 600,000 visitors annually. My parents and I enjoyed many a family picnic there and would return home with sand in our shoes, picnic box and clothing. It was the same sand that we found at adjacent Martin’s Outlet (not part of the park) where we danced to Danny and the Juniors, Johnny Cash, and The Diamonds, and watched the daring jump off the diving tower along the Outlet River. That was before the word “litigation”, and we all took responsibility for our own actions. The tower, of course, is no longer there. Good days, good memories of a place and a park that is synonymous with summer fun. But there is another, far more reaching side of Sandbanks Provincial Park. One that speaks of natural processes at work, and habitats for flora and fauna that have incredibly evolved to survive the hot, arid conditions. There is the story of moving sand dunes, some of them 20 metres in height, that covered up farmland. And a story of the St. Lawrence Iroquois who used Sandbanks as a seasonal fishing station. Let’s not forget the geomorphology – how all this sand got here in the first place. All these stories have
merged together in a praiseworthy book, called “Sandscapes”. It is another in the long line of ambitious projects that have been taken on by The Friends of Sandbanks, described on their web site as a voluntary organization that works to supplement and enhance the existing Natural Heritage Education Program, recreation facilities, and services for visitors. The Friends of Sandbanks were founded in 1993. In its 80 pages and over 140 colour photographs and illustrations, Sandscapes takes the reader on a chronological journey, from the retreat of the Wisconsin Glacier 12,500 years ago to present day. Authors Jason Childs, Phil Ainsworth and Joanne Dewey do an admirable job of opening readers’ eyes to the changes that have occurred since the Outlet and Sandbanks sand bars rose above the water and sealed off the bays, forming West Lake and East Lake. A caption above a full page aerial view of the West Lake dunes reminds readers that the 8-km long West Lake bar that stretches from West Point to Welling-
The Prince Edward OPP detachment is reminding residents and visitors to lock their vehicles after a rash of break-ins near Rossmore. Police say several vehicles were entered to the west of Rossmore along County Rd. 3 Saturday night. The items reported stolen include loose change, a GPS
unit, and a watch. Police are also warning people to protect themselves by locking their homes and keeping recreational vehicles secured. Anyone with information into the break-ins is asked to call the detachment at 613476-2151 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

ton, is the largest freshwater baymouth barrier dune system in the world. The smaller sand bar which is still fondly referred to as Outlet Beach, although not as long at only three kilometres, is no less important for it is here where much of the camping takes place and, of course, provides space for the throngs of beach goers. However, despite there being over 80 photos in the book, not one of them has captured the thousands of sunbathers, or swimmers, or parasailers. In fact, except for some historical photos, there are no recent photos of the human element, and for good reason. The book is, instead, about the other side of Sandbanks – the story of geomorphology and flora and fauna. The park story that staff naturalists have been trying to teach park visitors through evening programs, guided hikes, campfire programs and special events since the early 1970s when the interpretive program first began. Childs takes us back to the very beginning and tells us how the popular destination formed. Ainsworth continues the story, telling us about the pre-history through to the days of early tourism, before it even became a park. Even after living in this county all my life, and having worked at Sandbanks for eight summers, I learned new things from reading this book. For example, I did not know, or had forgotten, about Ontario House, Shore Acres or Bayview Lodge, although I was certainly up to speed on Lakeshore Lodge (the park had me do guided hikes there since I was the oldest employee in the park and could remember when it
operated!), and to a lesser degree, Lakeland Lodge, Lakeview Lodge, and Evergreen House. The story of the moving dunes in the early 1900s is depicted in great detail in both text and black and white photos. The crowning glory of the book, I think, is Dewey’s contribution on the flora and fauna, and who better to write about it than someone who spent several years as a dedicated park naturalist, sharing her passion about the park. The chapter is replete with colour photos of hoary puccoon, antlions, wolf spiders, birds and special plants that have adapted to life on the dunes. The book is a good read, on this, the Park’s 50th anniversary, and anyone who is not informed about the Park beyond its recreational attributes, should have a copy. Oh, a little bit of trivia from my files which is not contained in the book – Sandbanks Park contains 27.2 million cubic yards of sand. Just in case someone should ask, like they did me on one of my hikes there back in the 1980s! Sandscapes was edited by the Park’s natural heritage education co-ordinator, Yvette Bree, who has been with the Park since 1987. Copies of Sandscapes are available for $14.95 at Books and Company in Picton, Sandbanks Park and at various local wineries. I also have a limited number on hand.

Don’t forget about the efforts of the local humane society
MESSAGES around the Internet yesterday touted Aug. 8 as World Cat Day, a celebration said to have been launched 10 years ago in celebration of felines. Through the campaign, many have been encouraged to donate to pet-friendly charities or go one step further and take a cat into their homes. For the Loyalist Humane Society, the latter step would be a welcomed initiative. The society has more than 250 cats in its buildings at present and it has seen more than 150 kittens go through its doors this year alone. As a no-kill shelter, the Loyalist Humane Society tasks is volunteers with raising funds and putting in the effort to feed and house all of these cats and keep them healthy — all without steady streams of funding coming forward. Moreover, people from neighbouring communities choose to bring their animals to the County Rd. 4 location knowing that they will be treated with respect and dignity. By choosing to care for one or two of these felines, members of the public can ease the pressure on the shelter to make it more manageable for those volunteers to do their jobs and offer the care that these animals need. Adoptions can also help the shelter with medical bills incurred, including spay and neuter programs that help keep the population in check going forward. Certainly, taking on a pet comes with the responsibility of feeding and loving the animal, but most people who have opened their home to cats, dogs, or other pets will say that effort was repaid in the companionship offered by their personable, furry friends through thick and thin. If pet adoption isn’t an option, however, the Loyalist Humane Society is always looking for volunteers, both those who are good with the cats and those who have other transferrable skills that could help these members of the community — woodworkers are needed, marketers wouldn’t hurt, and there are probably enough administrative jobs to go around. There are many ways the community can care for these animals entrusted to us. Direct donations of cash, food, or cleaning supplies could also make a difference. This county rallied to offer exceptional support in the Aviva Community Fund drive last year by voting for the humane society, but the shelter continues doing its work whether there’s a campaign on or not. On this World Cat Day, do consider helping those animals who cannot help themselves right here in this community. It is possible, however, that some members of the community aren’t charmed by cats or dogs and choose to make a difference elsewhere in the county when it comes time to be involved — and that’s fine. May they take this anniversary as a reminder that they can be of service to some cause for good in the community and make an appropriate gesture in that regard. It will make a difference to someone.

Delhi celebration taking place this afternoon Mystery authors share writing secrets to benefit library
Join celebrated authors Ian Hamilton, Barbara Fradkin, Janet Kellough and Vicki Delany at Books and Company on Thursday, Aug. 16 at 7pm for “A Tangled Web”, a panel discussion unveiling the art of writing in what is arguably the red hot genre of fiction – the mystery novel. Hamilton has been a journalist, a senior executive, a diplomat, and a businessman. He has written for several magazines and newspapers and his nonfiction book, The Children's Crusade, was a Canadian Book of the Month Club selection. It was a life-threatening health scare, however, that moved Hamilton to write his first in the series of popular Ava Lee novels. Recovering from surgery and only two days out of hospital, he sat down at his computer and after a few short weeks, the first novel in the series was written. Entitled The Water Rat of Wanchai, it won an Arthur Ellis Award for Best First Crime Novel. He has since penned The Disciple of Las Vegas (2011), The Wild Beasts of Wuhan (2012) and The Red Pole of Macau (2012). Fradkin was a child psychologist for more than 25 years before recently retiring in order to devote more time to what she has called her first passion, writing. Many know Fradkin for her popular novels in the Inspector Green series, two of which, Fifth Son and Honour Among Men, won the Arthur Ellis Award for Best Novel. She is currently working on the next book in that series, The Whisper of Legends, anticipated for the spring of 2013. Her two books in the more recently developed Cedric O’Toole series are The Fall Guy and Evil Behind that Door, which is due out this fall. Kellough’s name is nearly synonymous with Prince Edward County. A novelist, storyteller, playwright and performer, she has written an impressive collection of local lore over the years owing to her deep roots in, and affection for, the County. She was also a respected local reporter for a number of years before devoting all of her energy to fiction. Kellough further focused her talent on mystery writing with the Thaddeus Lewis series published by Dundurn. On the Head of a Pin, the first book, was featured in The National Post’s New and Notable Fiction. “Kellough does a fine job of bringing life to the times,” wrote The Post, “and to her ministerial hero on horseback.” Sowing Poison, the second novel in the series, was released last month with her hero returns as authentically as Kellough once again crafts a gripping tale that weaves cunning char-
The celebration of the birth of the founder of Picton will also serve as old home week for those growing up in the community of Delhi. Today marks the 218th birthday of Reverend William Macaulay and Friends of Macaulay Heritage Park are combining the annual celebration with a chance to celebrate the community of Delhi. Delhi was a bustling
community onto itself inside the town of Picton that was bounded by Marsh Creek, Brisbin's Hill (near Macaulay Mountain), the town limits on the Glenora road and the quarry to the south where the new Picton transfer site is. In addition to the celebration of Macaulay, there will be a corn roast, treasure hunt/paper chase, stories by Janet Kellough, log saw-
ing, a handwriting contest using a quill and children's activities. Former Delhi residents are asked to point out on a neighbourhood map where they lived and share their Delhi stories with old and new friends. In addition, there will be short walking tours of the former community. The event runs from 17:00 p.m. At Macaulay Her-

acters, mysticism and murder set against the rich historical background of the County. Delany, also a resident of Prince Edward County, began her writing career as a single mother of three young daughters with a full-time job as a computer programmer and only late nights and Sundays available to dedicate to her craft. Once her daughters grew up and left home, Delany soon wrote three novels of suspense set in Ontario, two of which, Scare the Light Away and Burden of Memory were published to critical acclaim by Poisoned Pen Press of Scottsdale, Arizona. Delany took early retirement from her job as a systems analyst in 2007 and sold her house in Oakville, Ontario. At that time, In the Shadow of the Glacier, her first book in a police procedural series set in the British Columbia Interior, was published. She has since written five more books in the Constable Molly Smith series and three in the Klondike Gold Rush series, published by Dundurn Press, with the forthcoming Gold Web to be released in 2014. Her standalone novels of suspense, published by Poisoned Pen Press, include Scare the Light Away, Burden of Memory and More Than Sorrow. She has also written a book for reluctant readers entitled A Winter Kill. Vicki Delany is a member of Crime Writers of Canada and Capital Crime Writers, and is on the board of Wolfe Island’s Scene of the Crime Mystery Festival. “Having four such wonderful authors together to discuss their work and for the audience to be able to interact and ask questions is a unique opportunity,” says County of Prince Edward Public Library and Archives CEO Barbara Sweet. “We feel fortunate indeed to have them come together and donate their time to help fundraise for the library.” Tickets for this event are $5 and available at the library, at Books and Company, and at the door.
The parent council of Queen Elizabeth school in Picton recently organized a fundraising barbecue in which money was raised for computer equipment that will be used by students. In total, over $630 was raised during the event which took place at the Metro parking lot on Main Street.. (Jason Parks/Gazette Photo)
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Results of federal study on turbines will be predictable Anyone following Stephen Harper and his government will have come to understand he operates under several clear rules: 1. Protect the oil and gas industry at all costs. 2. Extract the federal government from any area of provincial jurisdiction. 3. Reduce or eliminate the voice of science in any decision-making process. Given rules two and three, it came as a great surprise when he announced Health Canada would be conducting a study on the health effects of wind turbines. It clearly flies in the face of treading into an area of provincial jurisdiction when he is trying avoid such activity. Health care
is a provincial responsibility. Why would he now want to enter a provincial fray? More amazing is that he would choose to use a scientific study to do so. The answer to those questions lie in rule one. In Canada and the U.S. big oil is deathly afraid of wind energy. It is the one energy source that in the near term can seriously hurt their business and they know it. They see that there are times Ontario is burning no fossil fuels to generate electricity. They see Germany with a clear path to 100 per cent renewable energy for electricity. They see grid-sized electrical storage not years but months away. They see
pumped storage happening near Marmora, Ontario. They see hybrid and plugin electric cars and rail electrification. Big oil pays for antiwind studies with predictable results. Their days of polluting are numbered as their markets dry up. Harper is their only ally in an increasingly climate-conscious world. What an alliance it is! Harper neuters environmental regulations, cuts science budgets, lowers corporate taxes, guts clean energy support, but leaves oil and gas subsidies intact. When the NDP bring up Dutch Disease caused by our overpriced dollar, oil and gas comes to the res-
cue. Right on cue, the television ads start popping up about all the wonderful benefits of the oil sands to Canada. The message: the NDP is wrong; Harper is right. Now, right on cue, it’s Harper’s turn. Wind threatening your business big oil? No problem. Harper to the rescue. There may not be a scientist left at Health Canada able to design the study, let alone carry it out, but that really doesn’t matter, does it? We know the health study will say whatever big oil and Harper want it to say. John Legate RR1 Picton

The concert, organized by Suzanne Pasternak, was to thank the hospital staff for their efforts in caring for the likes of Mazurek, opera singer Janis Orenstein, colleague Mark Despault’s family, herself, and many in the community.. Mazurek’s widow, Daneyne asked the Auxiliary use the funds according to staff’s wishes.

In the Wake an epic story unfolding upon a tiny stage Calgary troupe writes, performs creative piece on ecological issues AdAm BrAmBurger
Staff writer
This past week, Calgary's Downstage Creative Ensemble took a group of Festival Players patrons on a fastpaced sea voyage within the comfort of Fields On West Lake. The ensemble cast of four had the challenge of presenting an epic tale about reviving the dead zones in the Pacific Ocean to save British Columbia's fisheries, but they had the challenge of doing so with no props and no extras, confined to a stage limited to six feet by three feet for In the Wake. Initially, it takes the audience some time to find their sea legs as the ensemble of Ellen Close, Col Cseke, Nicola Elson, and Braden Griffiths play multiple characters and twist their bodies to form fish, barnacles, office equipment, vehicles, and even the shoreline. Eventually, however, the quick pacing and thrill of the ride take over and an story evolves with heroes, villains, and a biting social commentary about political will shaping science. The dead zone has decimated the fishery, leaving fisherman Jack Trevail (Griffiths) and his colleagues without much work. Desperate and growing impatient with their union rep's pleas for civil solutions, they take to protests to have their voices heard. Meanwhile, researcher Charlotte Wallace (Elson) has been geoengineering a special breed of barnacles, which looks like it can survive and thrive where no other species could. Wallace tries to find a way to research the controversial science, but ends up butting her head against roadblocks from her own university and, ultimately government. Just as the scenes on the tiny stage meld together, the stories of these two characters become intertwined. Trevail's political activism opens the door for Wallace to garner the interests of the fisheries minister, but ultimately the hard line of questioning about the ethics of her research in Ottawa result in support for the project being pulled from an omnibus bill on economic development — one she questioned its involvement in to begin with. Both Trevail and Wallace become more despondent, until they both decide they're out of hope working in the system. With nothing left to lose, they dump the barnacles in the dead zone and it works. To be sure, this is a story flush with hard times and frustration but much care has been taken to ensure it does-

n't become too overwhelming. From Wallace's geeky lab mates, who somewhat to resemble The Big Bang Theory characters, to children visiting her on field trips, to the overzealous but easily manipulated airline security team she encounters on her way to Ottawa, to Trevail's overzealous union mates, there is a healthy dose of comic relief. The story, which was written by all four performers, their composer and musician Ethan Cole, designer Anton deGroot, and director Simon Mallett in concert over a five-month period is believable and it's current. In fact, the first question an audience member asked in a question-and-answer session following the show was whether it was a real story. Cseke indicated the problem with dead zones is a very real challenge facing Canada and other fishing nations, but that's where the truth ends. "It was not based on a true story," said Close. "There are parts of it that are based on real things that happened in our country — in politics and bureaucracy. The story itself is fictional as is the solution." Close said the Downstage Creation Ensemble, which was founded by Mallett and has been in operation since 2005, aims to create discussion about social issues in all the work it does. After each show, she says, the ensemble aims to have a serious discussion. She said this piece started with talk about geoengineering and about environmental terrorism in the wake of pipeline bombings in Alberta and British Columbia. The story is the result of the creative process and several rewrites. While there was a focus on the specific story the ensemble wanted to tell, some of the creativity came from trying different visuals for effect and physical practicality. "We'd be up on our feet improving dialogue and jamming on ideas on the box," said Cseke. "We'd Specializing in Tree Preservation

sound board off each other and talk about it. Sometimes we'd write a scene first and sometimes it would all kind of happen at the same time." Close adds none of the four performers are dancers — though all have studied movement — so many of the physical contortions are based on things the performers found they could do. "There's not much margin for error, it's all very specific," said Elson, who said this is the first time the ensemble did a show in this format. Previously, they'd thought
outside the box, even performing one show on a bus... but this style, also known as treteau, provided opportunity. "Every play is a brand new way of collaborating with new ways to discover," she said. "This one was based on what we could do on a box and still fit specific content in." According to Close, some have described the piece as "theatre for younger audiences for adults," noting many see a specific style for younger audiences as creative, theatrical and musical. She said her company felt that should apply to all audiences. Adding to that creative style inspired by Mallett, deGroot's subtle lighting tied right into the floor of the box added to the mood, while Cole's music carried from scene to scene and filled out the dialogue in a clever way. "We were all in the room with these guys and we were all creating from scratch," said Cole. "The music is organically involved and picks up the themes we're exploring." The cast said they were pleased to be able to take the show out of Alberta for the first time to be part of the Festival Players' sixth season and indicated they'd be willing to return to the county for a future show. Unfortunately, In the Wake was on stage here for just a week.

Ottawa-based hobbyist photographer Scott Hall and his entry Dragonfly took home the prestigious best in show/ Doug Boult memorial award for excellence in photography. The award is named after Boult, a Wellington resident who was, previous to his retirement, a photographer educator at Sheridan College and editor of Canadian Camera magazine. Hall said he's been dabbling in photography for close to 30 years and picked up the love of the art in high school. A specialist in sport and nature when he is focusing the lens, Hall works in Bytown by day as an engineer. He said the award comes as a surprise. “I'm in shock,” Hall said. “When I dropped off the entry (Saturday morning) and took a look at the rest of the field, I was blown away by the quality. I'm just in shock.” In terms of the category
awards, Peterborough-based photographer Terry Carpenter won both first and second place in the adult colour category with Pontederia Reflection and The Last Tune, respectively. Shannonville's Marlene Gray was third with her entry Majestic. In the black and white adult division, Quinte West's Sean Scally's Iceman won top prize while Jim Vance’s Istanbul Street Music was second and Moira Law's Twixt March & Sky was third. In the student category, Kana Missen's Sea Jewel was selected as the best junior entry. Rossmore's Noah Redka placed second with his Empty Bay Bridge while third place was awarded to Kurtis Chen for his Ice Crystal. Eastern Ontario's largest juried show and sale continues this week as Torontobased educator, photographer and digital story teller Jeff Young will present Saturday evening starting at 7 p.m. He will speak about the origins and development of a

digital photography project he has co-ordinated over the past five years. In 2007, Jeff combined his love of photography and his commitment to teaching by creating the African not-forprofit project Village Galleries (www.villagegalleries.org). Responding to a call for help from Maasai elders who feared their culture was eroding because their language has no written component, Young and a team of educator/photographers travelled to a remote region of Tanzania to teach digital story telling to 500 Maasai villagers. Their journey was shared on an edition of CBC News Sunday with Evan Solomon. Young continued this work in 2008 in Benin, Africa with the “Big Books Project” resulting in the printing and distribution of 8,000 indigenous pre-kindergarten textbooks. In 2011, Young was the project manager for In My Own Eyes (www.inmyowneyes.ca), which taught digital story telling to seven first nations communities in Ontario, resulting in over 50
young peoples telling their photo-stories on the Internet and in a travelling photography display. Young will speak about both of these projects in his presentation: “From Tanzania to Moose Factory: A digital storytelling journey.” “This special presentation is very exciting for the CLIC show,” said Barclay. “It adds an educational component to our growing event, and further shares the power of photography and how it can enrich lives. We really hope photographers and photo enthusiasts alike will come out to hear Jeff speak about the amazing work he is doing in Canada and abroad.” CLIC tickets are $10 and can be purchased at the door or at any time from the show desk during show hours10 AM to 6 PM daily (until 2 PM on Aug 12th). Proceeds from ticket sales will support the Community Health Africa Trust (CHAT) mobile health clinic, in Laikipia, Kenya.

Take it outside:
Outdoor kitchens becoming a popular home improvement A kitchen is often referred to as the ‘heart of the home.’ Perhaps that explains why outdoor kitchens have been gaining popularity with homeowners. An extra kitchen outdoors expands your living space and allows you to spend more time outside during the warmer months, while adding value to your home. If you’re thinking about adding an outdoor kitchen to your backyard, consider the following tips and suggestions care of the Ontario Real Estate Association and your local Realtor. Start with a plan. Your out-
door kitchen plan should take into account location, layout, size and style just like an indoor kitchen plan. Many of the same principles of functional design will also apply. Depending on the extent of your project, it’s probably best to check your local building and fire regulations before you begin. In order to select the most suitable location, think about how you will use your kitchen. Also consider the weather and prevailing wind patterns in your area. When it comes to the size of your kitchen, ask yourself if you will be cooking by yourself most of the time or if you need space for others to help out. Next, consider your outdoor
kitchen’s proximity to your indoor kitchen. One of the easiest ways to tie your outdoor kitchen into the rest of the house is to build onto an existing deck or patio. Just ensure that your grill is far enough away from the house to avoid smoke or heat damage. If you plan on using your kitchen year-round, an overhang to shelter the area from rain and good lighting are worthwhile investments.
Features and furniture
A simple outdoor kitchen can consist of a grill, work surface, and dining area, but there are many additional features available. An outdoor refrigerator will allow you to keep food
and beverages close by and a side burner is another handy option for boiling corn without having to heat up the house. A functional sink and faucet are an added bonus but your plan will need to accommodate plumbing hook-ups. More elaborate outdoor kitchens can include pizza ovens, specialty grills, smokers and fireplaces. Many outdoor kitchens incorporate a living area complete with sofas, weatherproof televisions and speakers. When choosing outdoor furniture, look for durable, low-maintenance and weatherresistant materials. If an outdoor kitchen is in your home improvement plans,

Wellington inks pair of 16-year-old players Forward Brown, goalie Lavigne commit to Dukes
Dragon boaters eager to hit water Wellington Lions host sixth festival this Saturday
LuC BroWn
Nothing was handed to him, he earned his opportunity by being the best he could be every time he stepped on the ice. I couldn't ask for anything more,” Abrams said. Lavinge backstopped the Toronto Young Nationals this season and was selected to take part in the AAA top prospect all-star game. The 6'3” netminder, who is a student of the prestigious John Elkin goalie school and a 2012 draft pick of the Belleville Bulls, is reminder of the many big-bodied goaltenders Abrams has employed and found success with in the past, NHL draftees Dan Dunn, Daniel Lacosta and Dan Turple being the most obvious comparisons. “For his age, he is a very mature goaltender that has very good rebound control,” Abrams said. “He has good confidence and is a calming influence in the net. He plays beyond his years and doesn't get rattled after giving up a bad goal.”
There will be fewer boats on the Wellington Channel for the sixth annual Wellington Lions Dragon Boat Festival Saturday, but that isn’t a sign of a dip in the sport’s popularity. “We have eight teams this year and we’ve had up to 12 before,” said Lions dragon boat club member Janet Marissen. “It’s mainly economics.” While teams from out of town might not be able to get their boats on the road this year and the defending champion Rotary team had to take a year off, Marissen said over the course of the year, more people have been dipping paddles in the water to try the sport. “Our club has been way bigger — we’re in urgent need of a second boat,” she said. Marissen explained that a typical dragon boat seats 20 paddlers and the club also has a secondary boat with 12 seats. Members are on the water most nights a week and on many nights, they’ve had to leave paddlers on shore. Marissen said the club actively promoted itself this year and it may also be benefitting from the hot summer weather and people’s desire to be on water. “It’s a full body exercise. You’re tired after, but you feel really good,” she said.
Dukes send three to Canada East camp Vet Deslaurentis, newcomers Marchment, Soucier get call Staff writer
While their main training camp is still a week away, three Wellington Dukes will hit the ice this weekend as part of the 83 player field at the World Jr. A Challenge Team Canada East summer evaluation camp. Rookie forwards Jake Marchment and Mike Soucier will join second year veteran winger Erick Delaurentis this weekend at the Mastercard Centre for Excellence in Etobicoke as players look to make an early impression on Team Canada East staff. In all, 61 Ontario Junior Hockey League players will be suiting up alongside 22 players from the Central Canadian Hockey League. Wellington Dukes coach and general manager Marty

It didn't take long for Wellington Dukes coach and general manager Marty Abrams to find and sign a pair of 1996 birth year hockey players. Armed with four 16-yearold cards instead of his usual compliment of two, Abrams has locked up right winger Luc Brown along with goaltender Hayden Lavigne. Playing for the Quinte Red Devils Minor Midget squad last season, Brown had 59 points in 61 games and added 54 penalty minutes. Aside from a strong 201112 regular minor hockey season, the 5'11” 170 lb Napanee product had great showings at the Ontario U17 camp, the prestigious Global Sports Camp in Las Vegas, Nevada and the Chowder Cup in Boston last month. “Once in a while you come across a player who makes a team the old fashioned way-by going out on the ice time after time and proving he deserves a spot on your roster. That is what Luc has done over the past three months. He was outstanding at the Under 17 Camps, at the Global Showcase in Las Vegas, at our May Training Camp and at the Chowder Cup in Boston.

Abrams said Delaurentis came into his own at the end of the season last year, playing a regular role with the club. “He had a great final six weeks of the regular season and was coming up big for us in a number of roles,” he said. “This invite is because of his play down the stretch.”
EXCITING ADDITIONS
As for the rookies, Abrams is excited to see them get into the Dukes lineup. “We're really excited about them getting an invite and we are excited to see them in our lineup. They are the only two players coming out of minor hockey that have NCAA Division I scholarships and the fact we were able to get

them speaks volumes about our recruiting,” he added. Marchment has committed to Canisuis College in Buffalo while Soucier is expected to attend Bemidji State in Minnesota at the end of his junior hockey career. The 2012 World Jr. A Challenge is being held Nov. 5-11 in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia and since the tournament's inception in 2006, Wellington has had a strong history of staffing Team Canada East with players. In addition to Abrams being a staff member of several clubs, players Glenn Belmore, Jeremy Franklin, Brendan Bureau, Marty O'Grady, David Pratt and Jordan Ruby have all wore the red and white of Team Canada East.

“It’s marginally cooler on the water and with this windy weather, you’re going to get wet.” Marissen also said part of the appeal to dragon boating, at least with a club like the Lions, is that each person can go at their own pace so long as they stay in stroke with teammates. Illustrating that point that everyone can be involved, the Wellington club has members ranging from 17 to 75. Also a group involved with Community Living Prince Edward has been on the water weekly for the past two years. Marissen said even if some participants don’t paddle, they’re still welcome to go for a ride with the Friends and Family team, which won the spirit award last festival.
Marilyn Wilson, an experienced dragon boater who is part of the team with her daughter Lesley Elliott, said it’s been a great environment for the girls to be around. “The original girls have all come back out from last year,” she said. “It’s a social environment and they learn about teamwork. They remember exactly what they need to do.” While some of the 10 Community Living participants will not attend the festival due to camp commitments, the Friends and Family team will be on the water competing with three others for the Larry Brundige County Cup for local teams this weekend. The Wellington Lions fit in the other division competing for the Club Cup with teams from Brighton and
Belleville, as well as a breast cancer survivors team from the Peterborough area. Marissen said Saturday’s event will start with an 8:30 a.m. captains’ meeting and races starting at 9 a.m. and be staged every 20 minutes from that point. A special carnation ceremony with the breast cancer survivors and a team from Hallowell House which raised money for breast cancer will take place at 1 p.m. Four timed finals will conclude the day. Marissen said there will also be some excitement on the shore as the Cherry Valley Lions will bring their new food truck and there will likely be a Dog Guides presentation. To learn more about dragon boating and trying the sport, visit the festival, or call Marissen at 613-961-0990.
Bench boss has good handle on roster following Boston trip
Abrams shortens main camp for Junior A squad JAson pArks
Staff writer
It's been tradition in these parts for almost a decade that when the ice was formed in the Wellington arena in early August, the local Jr. A hockey club would start its annual late summer training camp in advance of its regular season. And yes, the ice will be in the Essroc Arena this weekend, but the Wellington Dukes will be no where to be found. That's because Dukes coach and general manager Marty Abrams is doing away with the usual two week long training camp and going with an abbreviated three-day tryout session starting Aug. 18. Wellington prospects and veterans will have to ramp up quickly as the club will hosts its first exhibition game
just four days later as the Cobourg Cougars visit on Aug. 21 at 7:30 p.m.. Abrams said the reason for a shortened training camp is multi-fold but the single biggest reason is the raise in ice rental rates the County of Prince Edward has saddled with the Dukes this season. “There's lots of reasons but first and foremost, with the County increasing our ice rental fees 70 per cent contrary to our five-year contract we just signed, it's cost prohibitive (to run a long camp). And when user groups can't afford the ice rates, they rent less ice. And that's us,” Abrams said. He added the club does have a pretty good handle on its roster thanks to a May mini camp and last month's Chowder Cup Showcase
Tournament in Boston. “The only question we have is the players that leave us on August 28 for OHL camps and if and when they will return to us,” Abrams said. Abrams hopes his roster will be at 25 or 26 after Sunday. After playing host to the Cougars, Wellington will play an unprecedented double home and home with the Kingston Voyageurs. Wellington will host games Aug. 24 and 31 at 7:30 p.m. And visit the Invista Centre on August 26 and Sept. 2 for 7 p.m. puck drops. Wellington finally repays Cobourg's earlier visit with with a road game on Sept. 4. The club then heads to South Burlington, Vermont to play in the annual Woodchuck Classic Showcase tournament.

The Rockies crushed the Beatty Seeds Huskers 13-1 in Game 1 of their best-ofthree quarterfinal. Mike Stever had little trouble keeping the Huskers off balance and his only trouble came in the second when a Shawn Williams sac fly scored Nathan Banfield. Every player in the Rockies lineup had at least one base hit as the game was called after the fifth inning on the mercy rule In the late game, Danford Contracting dumped the Warren's Excavating Ameliasburgh A's 4-1. Round 1 of the HuskersRockies series continues this evening at Roblin Lake with the first pitch to be delivered shortly after 7 p.m. At the same time in Frankford, The Danford Crew will be looking to take out the A's in Game 2 of their series. Should the Huskers or the A's find a way to win,
Game 3 of those series would go Tuesday evening in Picton. The winners will move on to take on either the Roblin's Family Plumbing Copperheads (in Picton) or Whitepine Watershed (in Tyendinaga) in game one of the semi finals slated to

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, for one reason or another, some issues will go unresolved this week. They can wait, so don't worry.

Hardie sets up shop in Hillier to grow wine influenced by mix of terroir and grape variety
This week's article counts our third time venturing down Greer Road in Hillier visiting the county wineries. Previously we have visited Casa Dea and Rosehall Run, but this time we will be visiting a winery named after it's owner, Norman Hardie! We decided to take a run out there this past weekend as I wanted a special picture and the trip turned into one of the reasons we moved here. It was getting close to dinner time so Delores suggested we have a slice of pizza while we were there. Well, as it turned out that slice of pizza turned into two pizzas and a bottle of Pinot noir. What an excellent time out on the patio! Norm Hardie was born in South Africa and moved to Toronto when he was 14. He is one of a select few winemakers who has mastered the art of tasting, growing and making wine in both hemispheres, in six wine regions around the world. After receiving his sommelier certification from the University of Dijon in Burgundy in his early 20s, he worked as a sommelier for Four Seasons Hotel group for six years. His desire to pursue the art of winemaking then led him to hone his wine skills around the globe working one vintage in Oregon, three in Burgundy, four at Bouchard Finlayson in South Africa, 2 in Central Otago (New Zealand), two in Santa Barbara and four in Prince Edward County. In 2003 Hardie put roots down in Prince Edward County by planting 12,000 Pinot noir, 3,000 Chardonnay and 2,000 Pinot gris vines and his first vintage was in
sippin’ in The counTy JOE HACHE
2005. Today he applies his global expertise to crafting wines that reflect the incredible terroir and cool climate of Ontario. His 10-hectare vineyard is all about low-yield Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, along with some surprisingly good aromatic varietals. Hardie’s winery building is comprised of cement, metal and wood and was designed to reflect a 19th Century red barn on a neighbouring farm. He shares his home (and newly completed accommodations) in the winery with a group of returning seasonal vineyard workers from Thailand. Anyone visiting the winery has to ask to see his barrel cave as it is very interesting. It is cut and embedded right into the grey Prince Edward County limestone and is designed to "leak" each spring as the snow melts. Over the past seven years, his winery has established itself as one of Canada’s pre-
ToasT My partner, sommelier Delores Woodley, shares a glass with Norm Hardie in front of the stone pizza oven at his Hillier winery . (Joe Hache/For The Gazette) mier wineries. He produces old-world style wines, designed to be both approachable now and to age gracefully. His winery is one of five Canadian wineries featured in The World Wine Atlas of Wine. Deeply passionate about what he does, he is a hyperattentive yet naturalist winemaker, striving for taut, complex, mineral-driven wines. He is gregarious by nature with a unique character and his wine knowledge is incredible. This really impressed a group of Opimian Members when we brought them to his winery for a tour. Rather than just talk about the wine he marched the whole group out into his vineyard, reached down and grabbed a handful of dirt and went on to impress these very knowledgeable wine people with how he did things at his winery. He told them that "he wasn't there to make wine, he was there to grow wine"! He believes that every wine has a unique
Wellington on the Lake & Wellington on the Lake Residents Association
ents from their garden, which includes three varieties of basil and over 28 varieties of heirloom tomatoes. When we brought our Opimian members there I heard comments that it was the best pizza they had ever tasted. Delores made that same comment again this past weekend! Hardie’s wines are now presently selling in Japan, the U.S. (New York and Connecticut and shortly in California), Alberta, Maritimes and Quebec (and of course all over Ontario!). They are looking at
character and it’s not only the grape variety or “terroir� – the mix of climate, location and soil – that comes into play. He says that the subtle nuances that distinguish the soul of his wines comes from his decade-long journey from wine lover to winemaker. Hardie is now making approximately 7000 cases a year. He has focussed his production on cool climate varietals, only those that grow in Burgundy North. He believes that the vineyard is the starting point on potential quality. He primarily uses indigenous yeasts to ferment and prides himself in achieving great flavour in his wine without the high alcohols that are common elsewhere in the new world. He likes to say that his wines speak of a place where they come from. A new addition last year was his artisanal wood-fired thin crust pizza. From the start, his idea was to serve Italian style, naturally fer- mented pizza, using ingredi-
expanding their US market to Illinois and the Washington DC area which should be in place by Christmas. Those of us living and sipping in the county (or close by) however can drop by the winery anytime we chose to and enjoy one of the best pairings ever .... pizza and pinot noir! -Joe Hache maintains an independent guide to local wineries at www.princeedwardcountywineries.com.

Wind: A Real Deal Comparing true energy costs is like comparing apples and oranges. They are the same but different.
WI remains committed to specialized transit
CRAFTS, from page 1
“The diversity of the work that's here and the quality of it. It's the middle of the week and it's just a good time for everybody to come,� she said. “We're starting to get it organized enough that everybody knows what their job is and knows what to do. The vendors like that it's one day and the volunteers like that it's one day and it's gratifying to see how happy people are to come.� Wood said the show is a lot of work, but continues to be a fun experience for the organization. She said one of the best things is seeing the familiar faces of yearly visitors and getting to meet a lot of new people.
“We have a lot from Quebec ‌ we're starting to recognize the faces, they come every year,â€? she said. “I'm surprised at the distance people will travel to come to this show.â€? Twenty-nine years of arts and craft sales have assured the continuation of the county's specialized transit service. Getting the service up and running was a task that took until 2007 but, thanks to the fundraising efforts of the Women's Institute, the service is flourishing and will continue to be provided. “When we started this craft show it was for the sole purpose of raising money to support accessible transportation in the county,â€? Wood said. “We've only had

accessible transportation since about 2007, so we had a lot of years to build up some equity and get ready for it.� She said the institute has signed on to donate $5,000 each year for the next five years toward the operation of the specialized transit service. Last year, Wood said, the service made 5,800 trips and had over 800 people signed up. “The money we make today we hope will go toward furthering that,� she said. “We'd like to see it running five days per week, right now it's four days per week, but there's definitely a need for it.� Wood said the Women's Institute has big plans for next year's 30th anniversary. “Next year is going to be a really big, special year for us,� she said.
OPP aids disabled boat The Prince Edward OPP marine unit came to the assistance of a vessel in distress in the Bay of Quinte Tuesday morning. The 44-foot power vessel struck rock west of the Norris Whitney Bay Bridge while navigating the waters outside the channel at the narrows south of Bay Marine in Quinte West. Police say the vessel had become lodged on the rock, it’s prop was destroyed and it had lost all power stranding a couple on board. Just after 10 a.m. the marine unit braved the high winds and waves to rescue the vessel by towing it to safety with its occupants from Burlington on board. -Staff

Finding plants that will grow and thrive under black walnut trees despite toxin juglone
Recently, I was asked about plants that grow well under black walnut trees. The person who asked me was well aware that some plants will not grow near black walnuts because the tree roots excrete a toxin called juglone. This toxin can stunt the growth of some plants and kill some species outright. Juglone is also found in pecan, hickory and other members of the Juglandaceae family but black walnut and butternut carry the heaviest concentration. Through observation and experience, many plant species are classified as either ‘tolerant’ or ‘susceptible’ to juglone. Among the most susceptible plants to juglone is the peony. Unfortunately, I had a sad experience this year in losing two prized peonies to juglone carried in the ground water. These peonies went from healthy to dead in a matter of a couple of days. It would be easy to assume that a fungus was the culprit, but I’m sure it was juglone that did them in. The

peonies had been in the ground for about three years and were planted in separate planting areas both of which were further away from the walnuts than the 60’ long tree roots would reach. The peonies had developed deeper roots each year and the depth of the roots combined with the high ground water level in this

area in mid-spring is my clue that fungus wasn’t the issue; poison was. The peonies went from healthy to dead in a matter of a couple of days. Once wilting of a plant begins as a result of juglone, it cannot be reversed. Well-drained soil is very helpful in locating plants near walnut trees and shallow rooted plants do much better than deep rooted ones. While my peonies were in a well-drained bed, the ground between the trees and the bed resembles the Canadian Shield – all rock and little soil making it a perfect conduit for toxic water to reach the planting bed. There are many plants that are tolerant of juglone
including ajuga, anemone, beans (lima and snap), beets, burning bush, ferns including lady fern, ostrich fern and Christmas fern, forsythia, iris, cyclamen, daffodil, daylily, dogtooth violet, honeysuckle, mock orange, southern catalpa, sour cherry, sweet corn, oak, nightshade, trillium, viburnum, wild hydrangea, wild rose, zinnia, quince, redbud, shasta daisy, Solomon’s seal, phlox, hosta, most maples, Kentucky blue grass and fescue (fortunately) and poison ivy (unfortunately). Plants that are susceptible to juglone include asparagus, Amur honeysuckle, blueberry, blackberry, azalea, chrysanthemum, cinquefoil,
cotoneaster, Eastern white pine, eggplant, rhodendron, apple and crab apple, Norway spruce, peony, pepper, potato, cabbage, potentilla, silver maple, tomato, Scotch pine and white birch. There are other plants in each category and there are several sites on the internet with extensive listings. I live in a virtual black walnut grove and I love the gracefulness of the trees and the dappled shade they provide. And while I am all for experimenting in the garden I recognize that juglone is a
serious threat to some plants. If you are tempted to try some different plants near your walnut trees, you might want to be sure they aren’t of the prized variety. - Kathy MacPherson is a member of the Prince Edward County Master Gardeners.
