It is a story with the type of happy ending most people would dream about for their adult children. A girl grows up, graduates from university, and finds steady employment with a multi-billion dollar company. After an exhaustive search, she also finds love, gets married, and starts a family. Ultimately, she returns to her hometown to raise that family, with both herself and her husband giving back the benefit of the skills and education they've gathered to help build a community. Jennifer (Harris) Williams was well on her way to living out that dream by moving back to Prince Edward County. Now, she must play a waiting game to see if Citizenship and Immigration Canada will allow her fantasies to become her reality — and at what financial and emotional toll. Since graduating from York University in 2011, Williams has been working in customer services for the web site Kijiji, an online classifieds provider owned by eBay. With the electronic nature of her job, she found that she could work remotely most of the time and found that she enjoyed visiting friends in the Cayman Islands.

JoyfuL moment Jennifer and Dave Williams prepare their daughter Gwenivere for her Christening. The family faces the prospect of being split up as Dave awaits the processing of his permanent residency visa for Canada. (Submitted photo)

On one of her trips there last February, she met Dave, a Jamaican national whom she hit it off with. By April they were engaged and she left her home in Toronto to live with him there full time. Last December, the couple was married in Jamaica. Sometime during her

time living in the Caribbean, Williams became pregnant and learned that her due date would be March. Since her husband is from Jamaica, he requires a visitor's visa in order to simply come to Canada. In October, Dave Williams filed for his visitor's visa to be able to be

in Canada for the birth of his daughter. Jennifer says the paperwork disappeared and ultimately was never processed. "We heard from the Canadian embassy later that month, sent in additional documentation and had not heard anything from them

again," she said. "When I contacted an MP's office, they called immigration and said the application had never been processed. A few weeks after that, the application fee was refunded to Dave's bank account without any explanation." The wedding took place in Jamaica Dec. 14 as it was the easiest place for Dave's family to attend as they'd all need visas to attend an event held in Cayman or in Canada. Two weeks later Jennifer returned to Canada — left to go through her final stages of maternity with a cousin subbing in as a birthing coach and partner, where she wished her husband would be. Dave returned to Cayman, only to learn he lost his job — the couple speculates that happened because his company feared he'd leave when allowed to go to Canada. Ultimately, Dave moved back to Jamaica, where he found work running a restaurant and bar. The couple had since contacted a visa application centre in Montego Bay, Jamaica in hopes of locating the file for the visitor visa, only to learn they couldn't track it and it appeared to be a dead application. Jennifer said they considered applying for a subsequent visitor's visa, but were discouraged by officials who indicated one might not be granted because it would be hard for the couple to prove that Williams would leave at the end of his visa.

Lavender enthusiasts fete fragrant crop found on Hillier farm Organizers say attendance doubled at 2014 festival Jason Parks

Staff writer

Fans of lavender and those that appreciate all things associated with the flowering mint made their way to Hillier this weekend to take part in the third annual Prince Edward County Lavender festival. From lavender infused foods and products, live music, clowns and magicians and even a massage table in between the rows of the fragrant plant made the entire weekend a popular multi-sensory exposition. Over 3,500 lavender

Whether it was to take pictures amongst the rows or get a first hand demonstration on how the essential oils are procured from raw plants, visitors are clearly interested in lavender and taking part in a full celebration-type event. “That was the idea from the very beginning, it to have a festival to promote the lavender but we also wanted people to enjoy themselves while they are here,” Leblanc said. Popular additions to the festival this year was the lavender cotton candy, live music and a crafting station where people took fresh rods of lavender and created wands.

Parish of Marysburgh looks to donate Milford fairgrounds lands to municipality Former councillor Alyea plans to remind council of many historical uses of rectory lands that could be preserved by potential deal Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

A plot of land in Milford will be up for discussion at this morning's committeeof-the-whole meeting. Resident Monica Alyea will ask councillors to consider the desire of the Anglican diocese and the Parish of Marysburgh to donate a 2.5-acre parcel of land to the municipality. The land is already used for various community events, including the Milford Fair. The property in question is both adjacent to, and behind Mount Tabor.

Alyea says in her submitted comments listed on the committee agenda that she has had several discussions as an interested citizen about the sale of the Anglican Rectory in Milford. Alyea says she was concerned with, “the implications for the various community partners of South Marysburgh who through the years — I count 75 plus — have made use of a substantial portion of the Rectory adjacent land for broader community development of a recreational

and economic development nature - Ball diamond, Milford fair, parking, et cetera.” She says in her submitted comments that the Anglican diocese and the Parish are willing and desire to have the municipality accept the portion of historically used land as a donation. “The diocese would like some indication if the municipality is interested in accepting this 'donation,'” she says. “The municipality have a land use planning process that doesn't easily jump to the answer desired — no doubt by all of us, including the municipality. But it's about more than just a severance.” The land is used throughout the year for

baseball, the annual Milford Easter parade and egg

hunt, and the winter carnival. Alyea will ask councillors to agree to the land donation this morning, and to direct staff to assist with the land severance and transfer. She is also asking

council to, “hustle this along so the diocese can complete their real estate undertakings.” She also asks for the municipality to agree to reimburse the severance costs.

well attended by rock hounds, gem gatherers, amateur geologists and the like. Minerals, sections of petrified wood and rocks that had travelled thousands of miles and thousands of years to be on display created as a diverse an offering as you would see this side of the infamous Bancroft show at the end of the month. Club president John Zandarin was pleased with the attendance at the show which was based around volcanoes. “The crowds were very good and the vendors were exceptionally happy,” Zandarin told the Gazette. “Our new vendors were equally impressed with the show and the club itself.” With over 75 members with ages ranging from 7 to 75, the local collection of rock collectors is as diverse as the offerings on display Saturday and Sunday. “We've gained a reputation of being kid and family friendly and I think the diverse membership helps adds to the enthusiasm,” Zandarin added. Jim Pauls of the Great Canadian Prospecting Company in Camden East agreed. An exhibitor and vendor at all three shows the local club has put on, Pauls said he and his family enjoy coming to the Crystal Palace and being a part of the annual presentation. “We enjoy it here at the Crystal Palace, it's a wonderful show,” Pauls said. With well over 100 items on display, Pauls explained that he dig silvers in Northern Ontario and offers just about every mineral and material imaginable “We have a lot of different minerals, petrified woods and quartzes and you can see some of them have been carved and shaped into various animals and other displays,” he said. Perhaps the most sparkling display this weekend was the one organized by Martine Lavoie of Pierres de Charme. The Montreal-based fine gems dealer who had an immense collection of sapphires, rubies and emeralds, only does two shows a year and incorporates a vacation around the Prince Edward County show. “I absolutely love this

building (Crystal Palace) and coming to the county,” Lavioe said. “Next year, I think I will come back and spend even more time here.” As a certified gemologist, Lavoie was dealing strictly with cut and polished gems. Her clientele are primarily jewellers and range from Vancouver to Halifax but she also sells to regular people looking for that particularly rare and fine gem. “People when they buy something like this sapphire or this ruby are looking to create jewellery and they get inspired like an artist would.

They are only limited by their imagination,” she explained. “A jeweller might see this particular stone and the colour and shape would talk to them and inspire them in creating a beautiful ring or pendant.” The summer is prime rock hounding weather and Zandarin mentioned the club will be taking several field trips later this summer. The club meets monthly every third Friday. For more information, visit them online at www.facebook.com/Prince EdwardCountyRockGemMineralClub.

Stiff hands over leadership of healthy, engaged club to Jones AdAm BrAmBurger

Staff writer

Tradition was front and centre Tuesday night as the Rotary Club of Picton celebrated its annual Past Presidentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Night. Pipers played the guests to their tables and immediate past-president Kirsten Musgrove joined her many predecessors as she raised a glass of Scotch and toasted her successor Matt Stiff as he prepared to join the illustrious roll of leaders who had served their years with gavel in hand. Stiff said it was a real honour to share his place in the history of a service club that has done so much good in his community and around the world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The tickets read â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;To honour Matt Stiff,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the complete truth,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tradition to honour all the presidents who have served and all the members of this club who have worked hard â&#x20AC;&#x201D; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re recognizing everyone in this room and those who have gone before me.â&#x20AC;? Though Stiff said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d only been a member of the club for a handful of years, he said that tradition runs strong in his family and in his own memories. Exactly 20 years ago, his father served as president of the club. He remembers visiting the meetings he ran and he also remembers practicing Rotary credos like the four-way test with Matt Davis, the son of another past-president Mark when he was young. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It means a lot to me to follow in my dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s footsteps and have a successful year,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I looked up to how he ran his club and I tried to do likewise.â&#x20AC;? When he and his board

took their posts a year ago, Stiff was among the youngest presidents to serve in Picton. He noted heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grateful to the membership for trusting him to take on such a large role, one that allowed him to grow himself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a huge honour to be selected from a lot of talented people to be among the youngest presidents of this club,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has helped me grow as a man â&#x20AC;&#x201D; getting up in front of the club weekly, having questions thrown at me, and budgets. You learn it in school, but to actually do this for a charitable club is an amazing experience.â&#x20AC;? As he was about to stand before the club and hand over the leadership to president-elect Rick Jones, Stiff said his biggest sense of accomplishment was knowing he handed over the club in a good financial position. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had hard times fundraising over the past few years. We rose to the challenge this year and left a large surplus that hopefully will carry forward for years to come. We can give back to the community and

be active in the world.â&#x20AC;? The Rotary memorial golf tournament, renamed to honour longtime members like Dusty Graham and Barney Hepburn made record profits in the past year. The club also revamped its oyster fest to create a new Mardi Gras night and added a Lilac Ride that it sees potentially being a big fundraiser. Otherwise, Stiff said he was pleased that in an era when Rotary clubs are shrinking, the Picton club added two members in the past year and reached out to engage with all of its existing members to show their value. Following a Rotary International theme for engagement, the club adopted a fellowship paddle and passed it among members, encouraging them to hang out with new people in the group. Overall, he said it was a good year for Rotary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Rotary club is very healthy,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our members are engaged and I know there will be fellowship, volunteering, and good fundraising ideas to Season Presenting Sponsor

come in the years ahead,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sad to see my year come to an end.â&#x20AC;? Stiff said he felt his successor Jones, a longtime radio sales executive, has done well to use his personality to sell the club and bring about engagement. He said he believes that Jones will do well as the president and reminded him to have fun as there are a lot of fun people taking part in the club. For his part, Jones appeared ready to continue the direction the club has been heading. He said one of his first goals is to continue growth within the club, looking to get over the 71 member mark in its 71st year. Jones said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d also like to focus on community engagement and growing the Rotary brand locally. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would like to see more branding in the community as well as engaging the community so they can help Rotary increase its branding,â&#x20AC;? Jones said, adding he envisions broader donations to health care and youth in the county as well as some other charitable ventures. Overseas, Jones said the club will look at a water project situated in Guatemala, continue to support the Atorkor Vocational Institute in Ghana, and keep working with the Rotary Foundation to eradicate polio throughout the world. Their efforts have limited the disease to a select few countries.

PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY

Looking back in the

Picton Gazette 90 years ago — 1924

n The brick-making operation was back in business at the Sandbanks with an estimated 15,000 bricks turned out daily. The company responsible for making bricks talked about a longterm option of starting a plant in Wellington, pumping out the harbour there, and ferrying sand over from the Sandbanks for the operation. At peak, its management hoped they would be able to produce 40,000 bricks per day. n Picton council increased its budget by two mills to 37 for 1924. The increase was caused by a need for greater operating budgets for the collegiate and library as well as the operating costs for an improved lighting system for Main Street. n Picton’s public utilities commission told council it believed the town would see a reduction in electricity rates by fall after negotiating with the provincial commission. Members touted having the same rates as Toronto, which would mean a 25-per-cent savings for the town and its residential ratepayers.

70 years ago — 1944

n Registered nurse Margaret McNeill resigned her post as superintendent of the Picton hospital so that she could get married.

The calls of darkness not so mysterious

I have never made it a secret that I enjoy starting my mornings by 4 a.m. Those who receive e-mails from me already know that. Most mornings I don my LED headlamp and go for a quick one kilometre walk on a trail that I keep groomed around the perimeter of two hay fields just west of our house. In addition to a milk can, a pitch fork and an old crosscut saw, getting up early was among the only things that I retained when we sold the farm almost 40 years ago. I have no use for hours beyond 9 p.m., so starting my day early is very special to me. It is a very peaceful time of the day, filled with distinct, and sometimes, mysterious sounds that filter in through the darkness. Hints of daylight are on the horizon so I have only about an hour to enjoy it before they disappear and the sounds of the modern world take over. Among the mysterious sounds are the subtle calls and notes from birds. I know who they belong to, but I am more accustomed to hearing them call during daylight hours. What are they doing out there in the darkness and why are they so vocal? Mostly, they are the same birds – robins, song sparrows, towhees, even a white-throated sparrow. The marsh wrens ricocheting from the nearby cattail marsh can be expected

OUTDOOR RAMBLES TERRY SPRAGUE

as they are typically nocturnal birds, it seems. Even the weird squelching noises of the bittern. But why the diurnal birds, that should be sleeping? Male birds sing to call attention to themselves, and the message depends upon to whom the song is directed. Male birds sing to establish and defend a territory from other males of the same species. In this sense, song is a stay clear signal. Other males know that if they violate a territory's boundary, they will be attacked. So they tend to respect territory holders. But, why sing in the dark? We guess that they sing for communication. Territories need to be protected at night as well as during the day. So, their voices must be heard, even at night, to let others

know a chosen nesting and hunting ground is protected and occupied. Enter my turf, and there will be issues. Other males of the same species are well aware if they violate a territory's boundary, they will be attacked. However the delivery of song at night is much different. These songs are not the happy, spirited songs of day, but rather, short snippets of their regular songs, barely recognizable as to species. There is a reason for this. The lengthy calls and songs they normally deliver during the day is a dangerous way to communicate at night because sounds can lead hungry predators to tasty midnight snacks. Instead, they know that brevity creates confusion. Once uttered, these short abbreviated calls vanish into thin air, so predators can't use sound to locate the callers. When danger threatens, birds simply stop talking until the threat passes. Full bird song is stimulated by light. If there is a full moon, birds may sing as though it were day. As dawn breaks though, the increasing light triggers hormonal activity resulting in song. The brighter it becomes, the louder and more enthusiastically birds will sing. We have all had that robin singing persistently and very loudly near our bedroom window at dawn,the song getting less

intense as the morning wears on. Any birds that decline to join the dawn chorus may be seen as weak or inferior by other male and females. So ecological fitness is established with song, and the legendary dawn chorus builds. And birds like to play games with predators. They need to in order to survive. So, rather than a bird choose to sing by itself on an exposed branch where it can be easy pickings for a passing sharpshinned hawk, birds sing as a large stage performance, making it more difficult for a predator to single out individuals. Birds sing to identify their real estate, and birds sing to attract a mate. However, I am also convinced that birds sing for a third reason – because they are happy and are expressing themselves in song. Biologists seldom subscribe to such anthropomorphic references to bird behaviour. So far, I remain convinced that birds are capable of expressing joy in their world, if things are going well for them. They can sing for happy, and I have seen no proof that they can’t.

OPP warn boat operators about practices resulting in charges

After a few months patrolling waterways around eastern Ontario, the OPP has indicated many people have faced needless charges related to the operation of pleasure boats. The police force’s East Region Marine and SAVE (Snowmobile, All Terrain Vessel Enforcement) units note one of the most common things they’re seeing is a shortage of life jackets on board. Legally, operators have to have an appropriate-sized life jacket on board for each person

that is riding on the boat. There is a $240 fine for having an insufficient amount of life jackets and an additional $100 fine for each additional life jacket that is missing. Police also note life jackets can only save lives if they’re actually being worn. Often, police say they are seeing that operators are not using adequate lighting at night or during periods of reduced visibility. A third — more serious — issue that police are seeing is that many boats are still being

operated with open alcohol on board without proper vessel requirements under the Liquor Licence Act and related regulations. A final regular occurrence that police are seeing is that boat operators are failing to have their proof of competency — normally a pleasure boat operator’s card — onboard with them when they are approached by patrols. The OPP encourages operators to learn the mandatory equipment for their class of

vessel by looking at the list at www.tc.gc.ca/Publications. “If you are on any type of vessel, please ensure you follow the rules and regulations as outlined in Transport Canada’s Safe Boating Guide,” said Insp. Paul Bedard, the force’s East Region traffic and marine manager. “Knowing is surviving and it could save a life,” Bedard added. -Staff

Province should commit to thorough review of auto insurance system

DURING the last provincial election, one campaign issue that allegedly sent the NDP scurrying to take the province to the polls was the notion that the Liberal party didn’t do enough to cut auto insurance rates. Within its own platform releases, which few seemed to examine in the shadow of the polarizing divide between Grits and Tories, the NDP pledged to cut insurance rates by 15 per cent across the board. While that seems like it would have been a difficult target for the party to hit had it formed government, one can’t help but feel that the governing Liberals should take a look at the insurance industry in this province to see if there are ways to save drivers some hard-earned money and to attempt to provide fairness to each driver that goes behind the wheel and ventures onto Ontario roads. A report in this week’s Globe and Mail suggests that Ontario has the highest auto insurance rates in Canada, some 45 per cent higher than those in Alberta, the province with the next highest average rates. Naturally, those rates are another expense for people living in Ontario and every little bit that pushes the cost of living has an impact on individuals’ ability to be participate in the economy and fuel growth and prosperity. Lower rates may just get more people driving. The Globe report attempted to contrast the rates for clean drivers in the high-risk 16-24 male age group and found that in a province like Manitoba, where auto insurance is handled by a public corporation, rates were actually lower than those in Ontario where one would presume that competition should force the more than 200 companies providing insurance here to find lower rates for the customers they serve. Perhaps, a public system would prove to be easier for the government to be able to regulate and as the sole payer for automobile insurance claims, government could more successfully regulate repairs and towing charges. It would also reduce some overhead costs that are inherent with a competitive marketplace. On the other hand, perhaps having a public system only would drive up the cost of services related to automobile insurance claims across the board through regulation and not encourage service providers to offer their services at better rates. One might wonder if the auto insurance sector became public, if it would see the same increasing rates that have driven up the costs of other sectors in the public service over the years. Maybe, also, the volume of drivers that use Ontario roads really does create more risk and a greater number of claims than in other provinces and reinventing the system would just be a costly nightmare. At present, however, the numbers speak for themselves that Ontario has high rates. It also has a system where young drivers and drivers in higher risk areas like Toronto are paying more money because statistically, similar people have posed a higher risk while driving — though in many cases, that says nothing of the habits of the actual driver asking for coverage in the system. Though it would likely be welcomed, the Liberals should not follow through with an NDP-like promise to reduce auto rates by any given percentage during their next four years in office. They should, however, commit to a review of the province’s insurance system, the pros and cons of public and private administration, and ensure at the end of the day, Ontarians receive the best coverage and economy any one system can give.

Teens welcome to submit entries for art show

The 11th annual Teen Art Show is set to begin at the County of Prince Edward Public Library and Archives and all youth, ages 13 to 19, are invited to enter their artwork. From pencil drawings to sculptures, all mediums and all styles are welcome, including photography. Multiple pieces can be submitted by a single artist. The show, renamed the Liam Garrett Memorial Teen Art Show in honour of the young artist a few years ago, offers youth an opportunity to have their work displayed at the Picton branch of the library all summer long. Prizes, including professional art supplies, can be won by taking part in the show. “This is a chance for artistic youth to show their work to a large audience, and to sell them if they would like as well,” says youth services co-ordinator Whitney Shantz. The art show winners are chosen this year by professional artists and by a “people’s choice” ballot. Judging this year is mixed media artist Ricarda Forbes Loth. Originally from the County, Ricarda is a young artist currently living in Kingston. “The reason I reached out to Ricarda as this year's guest judge for the Liam Garrett Memorial Teen Art Show is that I find her work intriguing,” says Shantz. “She's young, but has managed to accomplish capturing her ideas and philosophies about life in an evocative, gripping, totally off-the-wall manner. She's hip; she's fresh; and I feel that she brings a unique perspective about life in general that fits perfectly with this art show.” The hope, according to Shantz, is that this year's group of teens will feel comfortable knowing that "art" doesn't have to be all still-lifes and water lilies.

SHOWING OFF FOR STOREHOUSE The Picton Gazette

inside the liBrary CHRISTINE RENAUD

“Be creative, be confident and feel free to show us the inner workings of yourselves!” The deadline to enter a piece in time for judging is Saturday, July 26 before 3 p.m. An Art Show reception will take place on Saturday, Aug. 16 at 1 p.m. and everyone is invited to meet the artists and learn who the winners are. There will be a first, second and third place winners as well as a People’s Choice. The Liam Garrett Memorial Teen Art Show will be exhibited in the Picton branch throughout July and most of August and everyone is invited to come and see the exhibit and vote for their favourite piece. Next year, plans are to run a teen fiction writing contest in conjunction with the teen art show. To submit a piece to this year’s art show, simply bring your art to any branch of the library and fill out the submission sheet so we have your contact information.

FiFth time Picton Kinsmen Club life member Larry Craig, right, accepts his fifth Kins-

Staff writer

Over the past 20 years, Larry Craig has been a rock, solid fixture with the Kinsmen Club of Picton. Now a life member with the service organization, Craig has been counted on over the years to be a voice of reason and support to encourage the newest and most tenured members. Craig has also been a tireless worker, organizing the club’s weekly television bingo program, scheduling electronic waste pick-up days, and serving as an executive both locally and as part of the district body of Kin Clubs. Recently, Craig was honoured by his fellow Kinsmen for all he does as he was selected by the club’s membership as its Kinsmen of the Year. It was the fifth time Craig earned the trophy at the club’s annual year-end barbecue. President Phil St. Jean said the award is given to a member who best exemplifies what Kinsmen is all about and he noted that Craig is a fitting choice. “Larry is a tireless volunteer, usually the first to step up, he is an inspirational leader, a mentor to his fellow Kinsmen and a close friend who always seems to have a smile or joke to offer,” St. Jean said. “ I am honoured to be presenting Kin Larry with this year’s award." Hovering around 20 members strong — larger than most Kinsmen clubs in larger centres in eastern Ontario — the club celebrated 70 years in Picton at its clubhouse at Benson Hall, which

the club has entered into an agreement with Prince Edward County to refurbish in exchange for its use. St. Jean said for each of those 70 years, the club has worked hard to raise money to support the community’s greatest needs and this past 12 months was no exception to that. Three weeks before the barbecue, the club brought in $10,000 at its annual golf tournament to support various projects. With that effort included, club members put in well over 3,200 hours of volunteer time to fundraising efforts. The club managed to hand out more than $30,000 since last July and it has managed to offer over $100,000 to local causes in the past four

years. The year-end barbecue is one of the highlights of a year of fellowship that the Kinsmen are able to take back from their efforts to do their part to help. “These guys I call my Kin work hard all year round so as a way to thank them for everything they do, we treat the members to a barbecue dinner,” St. Jean said. The club typically meets twice a month and members volunteer their time for service above and beyond that. To learn more about membership, please contact St. Jean by e-mail at psjinteriorfinishing@sympatico.ca or by phone at 613-393-2495 or contact any current member of the club.

Pollinators will be back on the desk of committee of the whole this morning. In May council voted to request upper levels of government to impose a moratorium on the use of neonicotinoids because of their impact on bees and other pollinators. This morning resident Julie White will appear before councillors, asking the committee to consider her proposal for a “pollinator friendly roadside zone” along Babylon Road eastward to Prince Edward Point. White is the first listed deputation for the meeting and a recommendation is listed on the agenda to refer the request to staff for a report on the viability of this and other pollinator friendly zones. The issue was first raised in the county earlier this year when a group calling themselves Bee-Active requested council put in place a moratorium on neonicotinoid use because of their implication in bee and other pollinator deaths. This ultimately resulted in council passing a motion to ask upper levels of government to impose a moratorium until further studies can be done. The motion acknowledges there is growing evidence that neonicotinoid use poses a threat to pollinators. The motion also called for council to investigate the use of the insecticides on County property and to discontinue their use immediately. White, in a deputation

included on the committee agenda, says bees and other insect pollinators are facing more threats than ever to their wellbeing due to pesticides and habitat loss. “This is happening all across the province, but it has particular significance to the county, both as an agricultural community requiring pollination and a place where valuing wildlife and nature are not just a part of the fabric of who we are, but also an economic driver for tourism,” the deputation says. White proposes a pilot pollinator roadside management strategy, “that would support and promote valuable habitat pollinators and other animals in the Prince Edward Point (Long Point) area along County Rd. 13.” White says in her submitted comments that roadsides serve as a habitat for birds, ants, beetles, amphibians, and reptiles. She says the roadsides support numerous wildflowers that provide nectar and pollen, and grasses that serve as homes for caterpillars and other insects. “In some cases, roadsides support plant communities that can be no longer be found elsewhere,” she says. “Roadsides offer nesting sites for bees, particularly groundnesting bees because the soil is undisturbed compared to agricultural fields. Additionally, roadsides promote connectivity between habitat fragments providing protective nectar corridors for insects such a monarch butterflies.”

Volunteer drivers can help seniors travel for their medical appointments

Community Care operates a transportation service that helps seniors go to medical appointments and shopping. Rides to destinations such as a local doctor’s office, Prince Edward Memorial Hospital or to points in Belleville, Kingston, Trenton and Toronto for medical appointments can be arranged. The first step is for a senior to call and arrange to talk to one of our Coordinators. Community Care is funded by the Ontario Ministry of Health & Long-Term Care through the Local Health Integration Network and we must comply with the Home Care and Community Services Act. This means that when you first apply for service from Community Care that you have to meet with a co-ordinator to discuss your needs. Once admitted to the transportation program, we encourage people to apply for an “accessible parking permit” if they meet the eligibility to have such a permit. Then, when a client goes with one of our volunteer drivers, they can take this portable permit with them and the driver can park closer to the hospital entrance. Once you have been accepted as a client of Community Care this is how you schedule a ride. You must call the office at 613-476-7493 at least two to three days prior to the time of your appointment. We can’t provide same-day rides. When you call the office, just tell the friendly staff member your appointment time and place, the number of stops you need to make, and any other necessary information. When a volunteer driver has been scheduled for your ride we’ll call you to say who the driver is and when they’ll pick you up. The volunteer will pick you up, take you to your appointment, wait for you and then take you home. There is a small fee that clients must pay to cover part of the cost of the volunteer’s expenses. Clients also pay any parking expenses. If you want to have a confidential conversation with a Community Care co-ordinator about the transportation program, please call the office at 613-476-7493. Our staff people make home visits or you can make an ap-

Barn quilt trail now features 17 installations between Bloomfield, Wellington Organizers continue to seek interested property owners looking to have artwork installed on buildings or post to be enjoyed from road Jason Parks

Staff writer

A form of rural folk art that has risen to prominence in Western Ontario started making an appearance in Prince Edward County this past weekend. Barn quilts have been installed in various traditional and other locations along Hwy 33 from Wellington to Picton, forming the Prince Edward County Barn Quilt Trail. The single block designs that are painted on exterior panels feature both traditional family quilt designs and non-traditional patterns,

some of which have been painted by local students at C.M.L. Snider, Pinecrest Memorial, and PECI. Lead organizer Pat Dubyk oversaw one of the first installations Thursday evening, a set of traditional panels installed at Hagerman's Farms just west of the roundabout. By the end of the weekend, a total of 17 barn quilts had been hung in locations between Picton and Wellington. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was so awesome and awe inspiring, I'm hoping that's the feeling people get when they see them for the

first time,â&#x20AC;? the trail organizer said. Because the trail will be evolving over the coming years with several more barn quilts in the works, there is no definitive map (as of yet). â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are working on a Google map to detail all of the current locations but we still have a fair way to go,â&#x20AC;? Dubyk said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There's been four more that have been just ordered and now that people are seeing the first batch, the interest is growing daily.â&#x20AC;? This was the case this weekend as customers lined

up to buy produce at Hagerman's. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In speaking with them, so many people stopped this weekend and took pictures,â&#x20AC;? Dubyk said. The initial trail starts from the roundabout heading west and turns left onto County Rd. 32 (Mallory Road). Upon the end of County Rd. 32, the trail turns left onto County Rd. 12 _Stanley Street) and rejoins Hwy 33.If you have a barn or suitable building along the Hwy 33 corridor, contact Dubyk at 613-813-1972 or patron1793@gmail.com.

Whose Line star part of improv cast for Sunday series performance

Colin Mochrie to hit Festival Players stage Chad ibbotson

Staff writer

For the kickoff of their eighth season, the Festival Players of Prince Edward County will feature improv comic legend Colin Mochrie. Festival Players artistic director Sarah Phillips said visitors can expect a lot of variety in the company's eighth season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We've got everything from improvised comedy to music of different kinds, a French-English program of music, shows for children, a dark comedy at Mount Tabor and a crazy ride of a comedy over at Rosehall Run,â&#x20AC;? she said. New this year is the company's Sunday Series @ Huff Estates, which will be a run of one-night-only shows from July 13â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Aug. 24. Phillips said the company jumped at the chance to partner with Huff Estates â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who has been a sponsor and was a founding benefactor of the company. She said it was a an opportunity to partner with the winery as a venue in way that benefits both and a way to try something different. The first Sunday Series performance will be Weaksauce â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a solo coming-ofage comedy show from Sam Mullins described as a tale â&#x20AC;&#x153;of first times, second chances, and third wheels.â&#x20AC;? The following Sunday, July 20 will see an evening of improvisational comedy with the National Theatre of the World. Visitors will be treated with a fully improvised play by Naomi Sniekus and Matt Baram along with Mochrie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;National Theatre of the World is a company that's been doing long-form improv â&#x20AC;&#x201D; whole improvised plays and all kinds of stuff â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for quite some time, they're a great talent,â&#x20AC;? said Phillips. Born in Kilmarnock, Scotland and raised in Canada, Mochrie is perhaps best known for his performances on improv series Whose Line is it Anyway? and This Hour Has 22 Minutes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This time they're bringing Colin and, obviously, he's got the skills, the exposure â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he's got the fun,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's going to be a great night.â&#x20AC;? The following Sunday, July 27 will feature John Millard's Polka Dogs, described as â&#x20AC;&#x153;an indescribale music experience: a raucous, joyful soundscape of tuba, accordion, banjo, trombone, and drums. On Sunday, Aug. 10 award-winning husband and wife comedy team Parsons & Morel Make Magic will perform, followed on Aug. 17 by bilingual cabaret show DU COQ Ă&#x20AC; Lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Ă&#x201A;ME Or Tales of Everyday Lifeâ&#x20AC;Ś with chanteuse Nathalie Nadon and Michael Barber on piano. The Sunday series will wrap up on Aug. 24 with ann autobiographical music-storytelling show by multi-instrumentalist George Meanwell. The show will also feature Eric St-Laurent. After a successful first run Festival Players will be bringing back the Young Company â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an immersive, professional theatre experi-

bringing laughs Comedian Sam Mullins brings his solo coming-of-age show Weaksauce to the festival players stage this month. The companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s summer program will also feature comedian Colin Mochrie. (Submitted photo)

ence for six county youth. This year's Festival Players for Families show will be All for Beaver Hats! by David S. Craig who comedically tells three hundred years of Canadian History in 45 minutes. The show will tour from Aug. 1â&#x20AC;&#x201C;24 at locations in five different towns. From July 22â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Aug. 3 at Mount Tabor Playhouse in Milford, Festival Players will feature Radio :30. Directed by Shari Hollett, the multi-award-winning dark comedy centres around a radio actor who falls apart in the recording studio. Chris Earle will star as the discouraged radio personality, Ron, along with Sam Earle

(son of Earle and Hollett) will play Mike, the faithful recording engineer. The season will end with Test Drive under the grand tent at Rosehall Run Vineyards in Wellington from Aug. 5â&#x20AC;&#x201C;24. The play tells the story of car man Earl, who every decade sets out on a test drive that â&#x20AC;&#x153;rocks his world.â&#x20AC;? Phillips said the company has more options for variety this season than ever and hopes to see plenty of patrons take advantage.

Trail Estate owners share culinary business experience and love for Ontario wines

What a great weekend it was for going out and sippin' in the county. First on my list this weekend was visiting Trail Estate Winery, the newest winery in the county. It is a small family owned business and I had my first tasting there with two very nice people; the owners Anton and Hildegard Sproll. Anton has always had an entrepreneurial spirit. He graduated as an architect and was partner in a firm in Bad Waldsee, Germany. This is where he met Hildegard and where they raised their daughter Sylvia and son Alex. If you come from Europe, it is likely that you have an enjoyment for travelling. They both shared this joy, which led them to

large German population. They fell in love with Canada and so they moved here permanently. Together they started a new Canadian business venture in 1978 – Sproll’s Fine German Bakery – which they operated successfully in Kitchener for almost 30 years. As well as loving Canada, they both love Ontario wines! Anton savours structured reds, and Hildegard prefers the crisp, dry and well-balanced whites. So for them, this next step was borne out of that love. They are situated in Hillier where Benway Road intersects the Millennium Trail. Their plan is to focus solely on small batch wines which they believe will allow them to craft wines which showcase the characteristics of each varietal. On site they have one acre of Baco noir under vine and have planted an additional six acres which will start to bear fruit in two years. In the meantime, they augment their grapes with those from top-quality growers who manage their vineyards with sustainable practices and crop their vines for low yields and greater fruit intensity. The wines I tasted were made by winemaker Matthias Luck. He came to Trail Estate with international experience in wineries of both the new world and old world. From Germany originally, he has travelled extensively to gather skills and experience. There were fourwines available for tasting but two caught my eye. The first was a Sauvignon blanc which historically has

been my favourite grape, and unfortunately is very rare here in the county. It was a classic Sauvignon with aromas of elderberry and grasses with citrus flavours coming through on the tongue. My second favourite wine is Pinot noir (quite famous here in the county) and they had a rosé made from 100 per cent Pinot noir. This dry rosé had a nose of strawberry and rhubarb with a dry lingering strawberry finish; perfect for those hot days out on the deck. You have to

drop by and try them. Unfortunately (I say that as I really enjoyed his wines) Luck will not be back as Trail Estate has a new winemaker coming on board in Dan Tweyman.

(Tawse, Road 13) and Australia's Hunter Valley. Trail Estate is probably one of the smaller wineries Tweyman has worked at, but his experience should prove beneficial to them as they grow. He's looking forward to crafting exceptional wines reflecting poise and nuance and I can't wait to taste the results! Daughter Sylvia is a partner and takes care of the sales and administration. A designated CGA, Sylvia has been working as a financial accountant for various manufacturing companies for the past 15 years. Growing up and during her university years she was actively involved in the family bakery business. During her undergraduate studies she had the opportunity to study abroad in Germany. It was while harvesting grapes along the Neckar River in southern Germany that her romanticized notion of the grape vine took root and now here she is as a partner in a new wine venture. She enjoys a nicely aged Chardonnay or Pinot noir with one of her mom’s many great home-cooked meals, or a Riesling or Gewürztraminer on its own. Son Alex is also a partner and concentrates on sales and marketing. Alex loves things well made and well thought through and while starting a winery was not on the horizon for him it was too good an offer and too much fun to turn down! While not busy with Trail Estate, he runs his own design consultancy, The Design Collaborative, and looks forward to running in the Cape Breton Relay each spring! There are events going on at many wineries this summer. I try to list as many as I can on my web site and look forward to meeting even more of you as I'm out and about. And for those of you who complained about my picture in the paper not looking like me, I just did an updated one so you will now recognize me. Hopefully I'll see you on a patio somewhere this weekend enjoying some great county wine.

Hundreds of varieties of clematis can be broken into three varietal groups

Clematis is a very diverse group of ornamental vines. There are dozens of varieties of clematis from hearty climbers to those who don’t climb at all. Hearty climbers need the support of a trellis or a building while the nonclimbers can ramble up easily through shrubs, and look particularly stunning when grown through a shrub rose. Think of blue flowering clematis growing through a yellow shrub rose. It can be dramatic indeed. While there are hundreds of varieties of clematis there are only three groups of this species and each group has different requirements when it comes to pruning so it pays to know which variety you are buying so you can match it to its group. Group 1 (spring bloomers) bloom on old wood (that which was produced the previous year) and require no pruning other than what is needed to control size and provide more light and air through the plant. When pruning this group, do so lightly just after flowering, taking the vine down to a pair of healthy buds. Group 2 (repeat bloomers) bloom first on old wood and then again sporadically on new wood. Disentangle stems in very early spring to shape and lightly pruning out weak growth. After the first blooms fade, lightly prune back those stems that have bloomed, leaving all other

stems intact. These remaining stems will produce blooms later in the season. Group 3 (late summer and fall bloomers) bloom later in the season included into fall on new growth put on in spring and mid-summer. You can cut this group back in early spring to strong buds to within 12 inches from the ground. There are many sources for identifying your clematis by varietal and hence by group on the internet. If you have just moved into a property with clematis that you cannot identify, just leave it alone from a pruning perspective for a year and see when it blooms. It’s helpful to keep a garden diary to record each plant’s blooming behavior and then you will know what to do with it for

the next season. Clematis enjoys a welldrained rich, slightly acidic to slightly alkaline soil (pH 6.5 – 7.5) and six hours of sunlight each day although some varieties are adapted to semishade. Dig a hole 18 inches (45 centimetres) deep and wide and place a three-inch (eight centimetres) layer of composted manure in the bottom. Amend the removed soil with peat moss and shredded leaves and mix in one cup of bone meal to stimulate root growth and one cup of Epsom salts to encourage additional stem growth. Keep the small support stake in place. Set the root ball in the hole so that the crown (the point from which the stems emerge) is two-to-three inches (five-to-eight centimetres) inches below the soil surface. Add back the amended soil. Clematis prefers its roots to remain cool, so after planting, lay down flat stones at its base or garden compost topped with mulch. Regular watering is desirable and because Clematis is deep rooted it should be watered thoroughly. If allowed to dry out, the plant will go dormant. Clematis can be transplanted if the vines are young and they are moved taking plenty of soil around the roots and watered judiciously. Cut back lightly or severely depending on the variety and move them in early spring. To train the vine on a trellis or a fence or into the branches of a woody shrub, tilt the

small stake toward the structure. If the existing stake is not long enough to reach the structure, insert a thin bamboo stake next to it that will reach the structure. If training on an obelisk, carefully place it over the plant and press the anchoring legs firmly into the soil. Because the leaf stems are the part of the plant that winds itself around the support, anything thicker than three-quarters of an inch (two centimetres) in diameter will be too large for the petioles to grasp. Clematis should be fed twice in the growing season; before it blooms and after the blooms are finished. Never fertilize vines carrying flower buds larger than the size of a pea as it will shorten the bloom period. Clematis likes

composted manure, garden compost and a balanced perennial fertilizer such as 1010-10. Some growers provide a low nitrogen fertilizer such as a 5-10-10 for the spring feeding. Clematis is generally pest free but can be susceptible to fungi that cause the vine to wilt suddenly. If you see wilt, prune it out and destroy the diseased material immediately. Do not compost it. Wash your clippers in a bleach solution. If the clematis is planted correctly, it will send up new vines from its crown to replace those that were removed. The varieties of clematis are far too numerous to list here. The Internet has exhaustive lists of the varieties by groups. Two excellent In-

ternet sources that I used in the research on this subject are www.finegardening.com a n d www.whiteflowerfarm.com. An additional outstanding source is the summer 2011 issue of Gardenmaking magazine. There are dozens of opportunities to use clematis in your garden. I predict once you begin to introduce it, you will fall in love with the vertical aspects of gardening and the splendid colors and textures that you can find in clematis.

Bicycle tour through county raises $135,000 to fight MS 180 people ride on loop between Picton and Big Island Sunday Jason Parks

Staff writer

The rubber was hitting the road this weekend as flocks of cyclists hit local highways and byways to fight multiple sclerosis (MS). The MS Bike Tour, the largest cycling tour in North America, stopped off in pastoral Prince Edward County Sunday. In total, 180 cyclists rode 75 km through Hallowell to Big Island and around Green Point on their way back to Picton to put an end to multiple sclerosis. “Through generous donations, people are directly investing in the research and career development of a new generation of scientists studying MS,” said Dr. Jeffrey Haines, an MS Society Postdoctoral Fellowship recipient. “Creating momentum in research and encouraging researchers to push the boundaries of science will ultimately create a world free of MS.” Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, often disabling disease of the brain and spinal cord that affects 100,000 Canadians – the highest rate of MS in the worldand is the most common

CyCling for a Cure A cyclist heads out on the third portion of the Prince Edward County leg of the MS Bike Tour on Sunday morning.

neurological disease of young adults in Canada with three Canadians diagnosed with the illness every day.

Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 15 and 40, and the unpredictable effects of MS last for the rest of their

lives. MS Bike is a pledgebased fundraising event that provides Canadians with the opportunity to

ride through scenic and often spectacular parts of the country. Over 10,000 cyclists are expected to participate in

the 27 one- and two-day tours taking place across Canada between June and September. Individuals and teams, made up of friends, family and coworkers, raised funds to support groundbreaking, Canadian-led research into the cause, treatment and cure of this unpredictable disease as well as programs and services for those affected. Among the clubs cycling Sunday was the D'Ornella's Cycling Club out of Toronto. The club, which has existed for over 25 years and boasts over two dozen road riders. A large contingent made the MS Bike Tour a weekend event in the County and took part to honour long time member Mac McClellan who succumbed to MS earlier this past year. “This ride is for Mac and he's here with us today,” one of the members said as they pulled out of a rest station at Sophiasburgh Central School Sunday morning. With four more events scheduled this summer Grand Bend to London (July 26-27), Ottawa to Cornwall (Aug. 9-10), Niagara (Aug. 24) and Toronto (Sept. 7) — an estimated $2.8 million in pledges is set to be raised in Ontario in 2014.

Unsettled weather continues to be the common enemy of teams in the Prince Edward County Fastball league as rain has wreaked havoc with the 2014 schedule. Games in hand are starting to swell with some squads while other teams are hitting the diamond unencumbered by the pitter-patter of precipitation. As of press time Wednesday, the Roblin's Family Plumbing Copperheads had managed to play eight games so far this season while the Ameliasburgh A's have only completed four contests. There was action at the Picton diamond Thursday night as the Terra Vista Rockies rocked and rolled the Beatty Seeds Huskers 70 in a five inning game. Big Brad Lynd hit a moon shot grand slam in the third

inning and that was more than enough for Rox hurler Dale Dowdell who fanned a dozen while toeing the rubber for Terra Vista. The win moved the Rockies to 4-3 on the season and kept them within shouting distance of the league-leading Whitepine Watershed crew in Deseronto who lead the loop with a 5-2 mark. Danford Contracting maintains third with a 2-2-1 record while Roblin's is at 2-6-1. The A's are even at 2-2 while the defending playoff champion Huskers are taking on water at 1-6. It should be a great evening of ball in Napanee tonight as the Napanee Midgets take on Terra Vista at 7 p.m. and the Napanee Juniors play Whitepine Watershed at 8:30 p.m. In Ameilasburgh, the A's host Danford Contracting at 7:30 p.m.

CARDS OF THANKS

I wish to express my gratitude to all that helped and who are helping me through this trying time. A special thank you to the Masonic members who did a wonderful Masonic Funeral Service for their brother Frank Powers. To my son, James, who is also a Mason, for his participation in the Funeral Service. James drove 6 hours to be with his mother and the Masonic members for the Funeral Service. Thank you to Whattam’s Funeral Home for their help and extra chairs as the chapel was over flowing with those who wished to say farewell. Thank you to this aunts, cousins and friends for bringing food to the Celebration of Life for Frank. And to the Masonic Temple for opening its doors so his friends and relations could be together at that time. I wish to thank the Eastern Star sisters Erika Campbell and Val MacDonald for their help in setting up the food, and making sure all had plenty to eat. Flowers were sent to Frank’s service from his cousins and these and other flowers were donated to the Hospice Prince Edward. An extra thank you to all of those who gave to their charity of choice. As my darling Frank would say and do, he would snap his fingers and say “Just like that...tickety boo”. He was taken from us too soon. I miss you so much. His loving wife Hilary Hurry. There are many people and organizations I would like to thank for their assistance and support both before and after the death of my husband, Russ Burrows. First I would like to thank the staff of Whattam’s Funeral Home for their help and kindness. I would also like to thank Dr. Koval, Dr. Haig, the nurses and staff of Hospital Home Care and CCAC Home Care. Russ and I appreciated all of you. A special thank you to Brad for your care and honesty. You were very special to Russ. Thank you to Lloyd Bannister for keeping the business running while Russ was ill and for being there for Russ whenever he needed you. A very special thank you to son, Pat Burrows, President of Royal Canadian Legion Branch #78 for going above and beyond to make Russ’ funeral service exactly as he would have wished. And, thank you for your patience and guidance in accommodating the family’s requests. Again, I would like to thank both Pat Burrows and Mike Slatter for their support and kindness towards me when it was needed. Thank you to Padres Stan Whitehouse and Bill Kidnew for their wonderful stories and prayers. Thank you to our Picton Legion friends, the Ladies Auxiliary and Katy Cole for helping with all the preparations. And, finally, to all of our children and their families, thank you for your unlimited love and support. God bless you all, Shirley SheadyBurrows

The Picton Gazette THURSDAY, JULY 10, 2014

Health, economics among reasons family hopes to be able to settle in Canada permanently

shared vows Dave Williams and Jennifer Harris were married last December in Jamaica. Since, Jennifer has given birth to a daughter and is hopeful her family can be reunited for good. (Submitted photo)

night," she said. "I believe we underestimate an infant's ability to comprehend complex emotions; I have seen this first hand." The alternative the couple has been seeking now is the possibility of getting Dave a work permit visa to come to Canada. The application and processing of that document generally takes about 60 days, but thus far, it hasn't been an easy task for Dave to find work. If he finds a company willing to hire him, that company must complete a labour market opinion (LMO) to make sure there is no Canadian available to do the job and he must file that information with his application. There are also eight different forms he'd have to fill out in order to apply for the visa. Williams says her husband has plenty to offer an employer in terms of skills, but he must contend with the fact that many companies don't have open LMOs and Ontario, in particular, doesn't have a lot of work. The couple even turned to job-rich Alberta to look for places where Dave could work, but at present, there's plenty of controversy there about temporary foreign workers taking fast food jobs. "Dave has several employable skills. He is trained as a heavy equipment mechanic and operator, as a car mechanic, small engine repair, and as a landscaper," she said. "Dave is willing to take any job available." Jennifer is hopeful there is a farm in the county that needs labour and wishes there may be one that already has an LMO open to hire employees from Jamaica. If not, she'll have to wait for the permanent resident application

to work its way through the system and hope that she can endure being a single mother until that time. When asked what she wished the government could do differently for families like hers in the future, Jennifer said she would like to see an expedited option for visas available to those who demonstrate a true need. "If you have legitimate reasons why you need your application processed faster, you can pay an extra fee to expedite it," she said. "When you look at an application, there are many "red flags" visible in a fraudulent application. I feel there should be separate processing for those

run the risk of him disappearing or him overstaying because it will negatively impact his permanent residency application." Williams said she finds something very wrong in a system that will not allow a Canadian citizen to invite her own husband to come visit for a few months. She's hoping that she'll be able to trust Citizenship and Immigration Canada to process a visitor's visa application to ensure her family doesn't have to spend more time apart. Despite the economic and emotional strain, she says she'll forge on to see her family united in this country. "I am a county girl, born

and raised. It is our intent to move back to the county full time and buy our house there â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and it's so hard for us because we cannot do that until Dave is able to live in Canada full time," she said. "We knew that we were fighting an uphill battle, but for us it's worth it. I never expected to find my soulmate in the Cayman Islands, but I did it and what I am I to do? Turn my back because of immigration Canada? No way, I am a fighter and I will make it." E-mailed inquiries from the Gazette to Citizenship and Immigration Canada Tuesday about Williamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; case and immigration procedures had not been answered by press time.

Meanwhile, the couple's marriage has been recognized in Canada with Jennifer being able to legally change her last name from Harris to Williams. She was also able to apply to sponsor her husband for permanent residency â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the sponsorship has been approved and his medical results have been received. His background is being checked, but processing times are suggested to be 25 months or longer. It leaves Jennifer wondering what she can do and what she can bear to keep her young family together while she waits for news. "I knew when we got married it would be a long time before Dave would be able to live in Canada permanently and we prepared ourselves for that, but I did not and cannot prepare for my husband not even being able to visit his family in Canada," she told the Gazette. While still on maternity leave, Jennifer flew with her newborn daughter Gwenivere to Jamaica in May, allowing the young girl to finally bond with her father. They are able to live rent free in a house there, though she says that would only be a temporary solution for many reasons. The first is health care. It cost more than $200 for Gwenivere's immunizations and four-month check up and Jennifer has constant concerns as a mother that if her daughter's health is at risk, the Jamaican system would not be up to the level she has come to expect in Canada. "I pray that nothing goes wrong health-wise with Gwen or myself because I question the type of care we would receive here," she said. "On top of that, all the items purchased for me at my baby shower could not be transported to Jamaica so many of the items my husband has to re-buy so that Gwen has them available." Although Dave is doing relatively well financially in Jamaica running the bar, his wife is also concerned about the economic prospects of living in that country. Her husband makes less than he made in the Cayman Islands and, right now, she is only taking home maternity benefits. She notes she can't continue her work there either. While Kijiji does provide some flexibility, Jamaica has frequent blackouts and slow Internet making it inadequate for some of the tools she will have to use. She's decided to come home at the end of August. "Canada is my home," she said. "Almost all of my friends and family are located in Canada. I miss the comforts of home so much," she said. "I'm thankful to be reunited with my husband, but Jamaica is not home." Williams also added she only took six months maternity leave in order to save for a down payment for a home, which the couple hopes it can purchase in the county within the next three years. All those comforts notwithstanding, however, Jennifer Williams wonders about the effect the move back would have on Gwenivere to not have her dad close by during her valuable developmental years. "Since we have arrived, I have seen that my daughter has flourished and finally felt content, so much so that she began sleeping through the

with red flags and those without." She noted their permanent residency application was about 100 pages long with wedding photos, ultrasound photos of their daughter, engagement and honeymoon photos. She also noted they had a very public wedding with numerous Canadian guests, which should give some indication it wasn't a fishy wedding to defraud Canada. "This is not what a fake marriage looks like. Fake marriages also do not have children together," she said. "What I am trying to stress is that we want to reunite our family and by granting Dave a visitor's visa, they do not

staged combat A medieval tournament will be staged in Waupoos July 19-20 to benefit St. John’s Anglican Church. The event will feature fighters wearing realistic replicas of ancient armour. (Submitted photo)

Medieval festival to benefit St. John’s Anglican Church

The hosting of a medieval tournament July 19-20 in Waupoos will benefit St. John's Anglican Church. Organizer Judith van Bastelaar explains a group of friends that are medieval enthusiasts requested permission to gather on her Prince Edward Bay property last year has turned into a public exposition of tournament and all things 1385. “Last year, it was great and so entertaining and this year, when they asked again, I said why not involve the church and turn it into a fundraiser and they agreed,”

van Bastelaar said. By donation, attendees can see authentic reenactors speaking and behaving in the way that was common during the reign of King Richard II. The event, entitled The Red Knight's Deed of Arms, will feature archery and sword play, dancing and authentic music from the ensemble Schola Magdalena. The event runs from 10 a.m. To 5 p.m. July 19 and 20 and will be held at 3286 County Rd. 8, North Marysburgh. -Jason Parks, Staff

Smith critic for Pan-Am Games

With a history of playing and coaching hockey, Prince Edward-Hastings MPP Todd Smith knows a thing or two about how sporting events should run. That said, most of Smith’s work in the portfolio of PC critic of the 2015 Pan-Am Games, handed to him by interim leader Jim Wilson, will be done by the time the athletic portion of the event actually takes place. Smith’s primary role will be watching the budget for the 2015 event, which will bring over 5,000 athletes to Toronto to compete in 36 sports. He said he has a challenge ahead of him. “The games are set to

open next July and we’ve seen never-ending cost overruns as the province prepares to play host.” Smith noted the security budget for the games seems to be a moving target and he noted the government has spent millions of dollars on a lighting display in downtown Toronto that isn’t located near an athletic venue. It’s all about the Liberal government’s ability to stick to its budget, he said. “Right now, I think if they held a backyard barbecue they’d end up spending 6 million dollars on hamburgers.” -Staff

Leblanc said the Asian community in Toronto is a big supporter of the Prince Edward County Lavender Farm and its annual festival. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got some publicity in Toronto new magazines and had a video segment done on the first festival and that really put the bug in the Asian communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ear and it's just spread form there,â&#x20AC;? Leblanc said.

World record attempt a central part of Bubble Festival July 19-20 in Wellington Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

A world record attempt will highlight a celebration of spheres that's coming to Prince Edward County. On Saturday, July 19 and Sunday, July 20 Wellington will be the site of the county's first Bubble Festival. Presented by the Welling-

ton & District Business Association and the Wellington recreation committee, the free event is being held to encourage people to explore the community. Bubble Festival chair Tina Konecny said there's a lot for families to get excited about. “There's lots of fun things going on,” she said. Kicking off the festival at

the Wellington and District Community Centre at 10 a.m. on Saturday will be a world record attempt. The first 999 people to show up can help break the Guinness World Record for most people popping bubble wrap. Doors open at 9 a.m. Konecny said the record has been broken twice since organizers decided to go for it. The current record stands at 942. “We're going to aim for

The money will be donated to 99.3 County FM. “County FM is going to help us run it and it's a way to promote the new station,” she said. Following the world record attempt at 10:30 will be

Supporting the journey of living with dying.

Our Mission

Hospice Prince Edward provides physical, psychological, social, spiritual and practical support to people living with life-limiting illness and to their loved ones and caregivers. Hospice Prince Edward is a non-profit, non-denominational charitable organization with a two-fold purpose: • To assist individuals, their families and caregivers facing life-limiting or terminal illness • To help bereaved people of all ages cope with the death of a loved one and to rediscover life Hospice Prince Edward is a community resource for palliative care and bereavement support, serving all of Prince Edward County.

a bubble parade starting from the community centre and travelling down Main Street to Wellington Park, where visitors are encouraged to make bubbles and dance along the route. “We want to encourage as many people as possible to participate in the parade,” she said. From 11-12 p.m. bubble bath races will be held along the sidewalk in front of C.M.L. Snider School. In the fashion of a soap box race, teams will construct a “bathtub” on wheels, fill them with bubble bath, and race to compete for prizes. Participants are challenged to create their own tub entries for the races. At noon visitors can participate in a flash mob, and dance to the song “Happy” Pharrell Williams. At 1 p.m. visitors are encouraged to travel to the park to blow bubbles, followed at 1:30 by a bubble gum blowing contest, and at 2 p.m. by a bubble

wrap fashion show. Additionally, the festival will feature a run in a bubble on water, tethered Remax hot air balloon rides (depending on weather), and bubble soccer. The day's festivities wrap at Wellington Town Hall for a “bubble ball” 8–11 p.m. The event, and rides for the hot air balloon are free. Visitors are asked to bring their own bubbles, but some will be handed out and more will available for purchase. “It's just a fun event to bring the community together,” said Konecny. “We're also encouraging businesses in the Quinte region to do something bubbly and let us know about it and we'll put it on our map on our web site.” On Sunday, visitors are encouraged to follow the bubbles around Prince Edward County and the Bay of Quinte. A map is available at www.bubblefestival.ca/ wp/map.

Jones points to golf tournament anniversary as highlight

ROTARY, from page 5

tireLess worker Doug Snider, right, had a hand in most of the activities the Rotary Club of Picton staged this past year. Here, he shares a few laughs with fellow Rotarians prior to winning the Hepburn Trophy as Picton Rotarian of the year. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

Snider earns Hepburn Trophy as Picton Rotarian of the year

Picton Rotary president Matt Stiff decided he’d best not list the ways Doug Snider helped the club this past year when prompted Tuesday evening. That night, the club honoured the North Marysburgh man as the winner of the Hepburn Trophy as Rotarian of the year for 2013-2014. “I can not think of anything Doug was not involved in,” Stiff said. “He always went the extra mile. He was instrumental running committees, he’d contact the newspapers, he was always at our events..” Stiff said Snider was a tireless worker on the ways and means committee, which took a hard look at the way the club operates this past year. He added whether it was for events or for media ap-

pearances, Snider was a selfless contributor, often setting up what needed to be done, then letting other Rotarians take the limelight. “He’s always there. Among a club of hard workers, he rises to the top. We’re really lucky to have him,” Stiff concluded. President-elect Rick Jones noted Snider hasn’t been in Rotary many years, but he’s accomplished a lot in his time involved, being present for most events and graciously giving of his time. “I wish we had another 50 people like Doug. He does so much for our events and he’s always involved,” Jones said. “He’s a dedicated Rotarian and he’s very deserving as Rotarian of the year.”

Jones said again this year, the club would look to maintain and grow its existing fundraisers. He confirmed the Mardi Gras and Lilac Ride would return for 2014-2015 and added the waterfall tours and cash calendars are still in the works. One milestone Jones said he was excited about is the upcoming 25th anniversary of the memorial golf tournament.

“That will be a sell out and it’ll be a good time for us,” he said. Jones has already been meeting with representatives from the district and Rotary International, getting the training he needs to lead the club for the upcoming year. He said he’s also quite confident with the help available to him within the club. “We've got some key people that have been presidents over the years, and it really is a privilege and

year. This year’s international president will be Gary C.K. Huang from Teipai, Taiwan. Following the teachings of philosopher Confucius, he picked the theme “Light Up Rotary.” Basically, the borrowed message stated that in the face of broad darkness, it’s best to light a single candle than to do nothing. Huang noted in his presidents’ address that if many Rotarians light single candles, it can create a great light.

honour to be selected as president,” he said. “It will be a challenge, but we have a great board and they’re ready to do their part to help out and maintain our successes.” Jones encourages club members to attend a meeting July 22 when the district governor Brian Thompson will be present to give more information about the Rotary International theme and some of the broader organization’s goals for the upcoming

Do you have a strategy for paying off your mortgage sooner? Wouldn’t it be nice to have no mortgage payment years ahead of schedule? If you’re like most people you look for great deals on everything you buy. Search the internet, flyers and newspapers. Talk to friends about where they got a deal. Maybe clip coupons. For whatever reason a reasonable amount of time and effort is not put into a strategy for paying down probably the largest debt we will have; our mortgage. At mortgage renewal time we might grumble a bit but then blindly sign the papers and miss a huge opportunity to get a better deal. Paying off debt has the same impact as saving because both add to our net worth. Money paid against the mortgage gives you a guaranteed return by saving you interest. Here are some ideas you might use to help you be mortgage free sooner. 1. When you first get a mortgage make sure you get a mortgage that allows you to make extra payments. For example, some

lenders allow you to increase your payments 15% - 20%. Some allow lump sum payments and many allow you to do both. 2. Prospective home buyers and those renewing their mortgages often stay with their own financial institutions when applying for mortgages, but it pays to shop around. There are banks, credit unions, trust companies and there are lenders whose only product is mortgages. They don’t have stores or branches so savings are passed to clients. They use Mortgage Brokers and Agents as their sales force and they are guaranteed by Insurers such as Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), Genworth and Canada Guaranty. They also tend to be more flexible when it comes to income requirements or properties. 3. Accelerated weekly payments and accelerated bi-weekly payments enable you to make one extra monthly payment a year – the effect of this alone can reduce your amortization from 25 to less than 21 years. 4. When it comes time to renew your mortgage, it is possible that mortgage rates are lower therefore your payment is lower. However since you already know you can handle current payments, leave them at the higher amount. The difference will come directly off your principal. 5. If your income increases increase your mortgage payment by the same percentage. So for example you monthly mortgage payment is $800. If you receive a 3% increase in income, increase your payments to $824. 6. Pay your mortgage a bonus. If 30 -35% of your income is going to your mortgage payment than the same percentage of any extra income (work bonuses, income

tax return,) should go to your mortgage. If for example you receive $1000 on your income tax return, try to put $300 - $350 on your mortgage. These lump sum payments are deducted from principal. 7. When getting a new mortgage there are a number of other things you need to consider. If your Credit bureau score is off, then it needs to be put in order because Lenders may charge you’re a higher rate otherwise. The various mortgage terms (6 month – 10 years) all have different rates. Amortization 15-30 years. Initial down payments. Which term and amortization is right for you? All of these things can impact how much interest you pay and for how long you have to make mortgage payments. I know it may not be possible to increase your payments and make large lump sum payments every year. Life gets in the way sometimes. But a little bit of pre-planning and some discipline and you can potentially take years off your mortgage. Banks and their shareholders have a financial interest in lending at higher rates and in having you make mortgage payments. This is probably the largest debt you will have in your lifetime so looking for those opportunities to save is critical. I consider it my professional responsibility to help you manage that debt. If you need assistance, please contact me. Compliments of Ralph McKenny, a local Mortgage Agent with Martel Mortgages FSCO License 11963.
