Three-year construction project valued at $9,361,920 expected to begin next April CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

County Rd. 3 will be getting an upgrade sooner than expected thanks to significant funding from the federal and provincial governments announced this week. Prince Edward-Hastings MP Daryl Kramp, MPP Todd Smith, and Mayor Robert Quaiff announced on Wednesday morning in Rossmore that the $9,361,920-project would be shared by each level of government with each contributing $3,120,640. The project encompasses about 5.8 kilometres of Coun-

Mayor Robert Quaiff is livid that Prince Edward County will continue to miss the boat until September as the Glenora ferry crossing will remain on 30-minute service. This week, the municipality received word from the Ministry of Transportation that the Wolfe Islander III will remain in dry-dock throughout the summer, meaning one of two boats usually handling the Adolphus Reach crossing will remain at Amherst Island until after Labour Day. “It’s going to have a huge impact, I believe, on visits to Prince Edward County. People won’t come, they’ll bypass us,” Quaiff said. “It’s totally appalling. I’m just furious with this (provincial) government.” Quaiff said the County sent letters to the province in March and in June expressing its concern about the impact on a major tourist route — the second time in three years service at the crossing was reduced — and it didn’t receive a reply in either instance.

ty Rd. 3, from County Rd. 23 to County Rd. 28, which was indicated to be the worst section of the road. Construction is expected to begin in April 2016 and will continue to the end of 2019. “This had to happen, it had to happen, and to do it alone would have been too onerous of a project for the County,” said Kramp. Kramp said the funding announcement was long overdue. He said he's long heard from residents and councillors who were concerned about the safety of the road.

QHC directors learn people support care model, but want services closer to home LHIN’s Health Care Tomorrow survey draws more than 1,000 responses in Quinte region JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER

Nearly 1,000 voices in the Quinte area have made themselves heard during a community engagement exercise concerning the future and direction of local health care. Quinte Healthcare Corporation (QHC) senior director of communications Susan Rowe provided her board of directors an update last week on the first phases of the hospital's community engagement exercise that was part of the Health Care Tomorrow initiative spearheaded by the

South East Local Health Integration Network (SE LHIN). The information was gleaned through eight different engagement activities including open sessions are local community centres and online surveys Rowe said there had been two phases completed since the spring including the general intake that identified healthcare priorities through board engagement and then a series of focus groups that test the initial input. “There will be a third phase that takes place between now and August

where we will be using that input to design the long-term potential opportunities for clinical services across QHC and how that could impact our other healthcare partners that we work with,” Rowe explained. “Once a draft vision is created, we will ask for more public input prior to submitting it to the QHC oard and the SE LHIN.” In terms of general findings, Rowe said “people are supportive of the Ministry of Health and Long-term Care's action plan for health care and the move to have more services in the community

and less services in hospitals.” “This is provided they have the confidence that the services will be in the community or at their home when they are needed and right now, that confidence doesn't always exist,” Rowe added. The survey results showed there is acceptance that the health-care model in Ontario has to change, a definite shift in attitude compared to findings QHC recovered about a decade ago in a similar exercise. When it came to overall priorities, the exercise found that respondents felt the local health-care system should provide: n Family care providers who provide system navigation and equitable access to services. n Local access to 24-hour emergency services, inpatient bed and basic diagnostic services. n Efficient access to specialist services with adequate transportation options. n Effective co-ordination of services and communication between providers. “All of this leads to a system that's sustainable,” Rowe said. “People certainly want the confidence that the public healthcare system is going to be here for the next generation. They want a local system of care.” A review of the draft plan or options crafted from the survey results are expected to be unveiled in September or October.

served in the role of vice chair immediately upon his appointment and then held the role of chair after Brian Smith retired in 2013. In addressing his fellow board members for the final time, Blakely said it was with “mixed emotions” that he says good bye to QHC at this point in time. Calling his time on the board the “greatest experience in my life” the departing Chair said he got involved with the QHC board not knowing much about health care but knew there was a need and thought this was a way of giving back to the community. “And I hope in some small way I've done that,” he said. He added that in his belief, the challenges of sitting on a hospital board are only slightly less than being the CEO of a hospital and “I can't think of a want to do less.” While the comment was tongue in cheek, he did go on to say that QHC was blessed

with the leadership provided under president and chief executive officer Mary Clare Egberts. A past leader that Blakely learned much from was Smith and recalls stating in 2009 that the past Chair was retiring from the board just in the nick of time as QHC was facing another round of cuts to its provincial funding streams, not unlike those that the hospital is nervously eyeing in the coming years. “I told Brian that it felt like he was getting on his white horse and riding out of Dodge in the nick of time,” Blakely said. “Tonight, it feels like I'm doing about the same.” “For those remaining for future terms, thank you for your commitment and to those leaving, I thank you for all you have done,” he said. Also joining Blakely in retirement from the Board were longtime members John Embregts and John Petrie.

Built Heritage Fund provides $8,000 to support heritage restoration efforts Otherwise, Bruce said the chapel is in good shape. Contractors have been in to look at the roof and they’ve given the structure their approval. “They were amazed by the workmanship,” he said. “We were told it could be here for another 200 years. It is very well built.” A raised pulpit with one of a handful of original sounding boards left in Ontario, a functional balcony, a rebuilt furnace and some of the books used during the average three-hour services are some of the features still on site. Bruce said the White Chapel has become

House tours assist White Chapel, St. Mary Magdalene, Picton Library work ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

It started with a former Methodist church and a tour. After five years, The Built Heritage Fund came full circle on Monday morning. The committee behind the County Community Foundation (CCF)-administered fund drove to three historic buildings to hand out some $8,000 in grants. The tour started at the White Chapel just off County Rd. 49. “There’s a certain circularity to it,” said committee member Marilyn Lauer on site at the chapel, which was built between 1809 and 1811. Lauer explained that after the 135-year-old red brick church on Main Street (a deconsecrated Methodist worship house) was torn down in 2010, her group came together to find a way to help raise funds to save built heritage in the county. That year, they staged a Christmas house tour. In each successive year, the tour has become a bit larger. All the funds went into a pot to develop a grant to save structures deemed to be important to the community and its history. Committee members and CCF officials communicated with representatives from more than nine projects for this year’s first intake of awards. The projects had to be classified as bricks-andmortar improvements that would be started within the calendar year. Generally speaking, it had to be a public or charitable organization applying or a group working in partnership with one. Upon review, the committee selected the White Chapel as its first $5,000 “Save-The-Day” grant. The chapel was the first Methodist church in the county and was the site of regular worship until 1836. As Picton outgrew Hallowell Mills, most worshippers moved into town by the mid-1800s. Sunday school classes continued at the chapel until 1898. Since that year, an annual service has been held at the historic site. Roy Bruce is on the committee dedicated to preserving the site. He said his group and the congregation of Picton United Church, which cares for the building, has worked to maintain it in its original shape, however, the cedar shake roof is in need of repairs. The chapel’s heritage designation requires a cedar shake replacement. With a dwindling congregation at Picton United tasked with the restoration of the roof at both the chapel and the church, he indicated it has been difficult to raise the funds needed to proceed. “We’re very happy the committee decided to support us,” Bruce said. “We have been doing fundraising for

a busier place again in recent years, lending to the notion it can raise money to help pay for the costs to maintain it. “It’s beng used again,” he said. “Four years ago we started having weddings again. We had seven, then nine, then eight, and six last year. We already have two looking for next year.” The going rate for a wedding at the chapel is $300. Guests must bring their own officiant and music — and some visitors have had some creative solutions considering the chapel still has no electrical connections. Bruce said he’s also had

contacts from people looking to use the site for musical events and other gatherings. “Any time you can bring someone through the door and raise awareness, that is a good thing,” said committee member Libby Crombie. Following the presentation at the White Chapel, the committee members headed south on Main Street to St. Mary Magdalene Anglican Church. There, they looked up at scaffolds as workers progressed with a tower restoration project that started last month.

two years, but it had not been going well.” Bruce indicated a heritage dinner staged last year was well received by those who attended, but being on Thanksgiving weekend, it didn’t draw the crowd organ-

izers had hoped for. With the $5,000 grant, however, he is confident the job can be done this fall. “We’re a little shy on our fundraising but we’re going to go ahead with it in September,” he said.

It was a perfect day to cast a line, and many were cast. The Sophiasburgh recreation committee invited residents to Sophiasburgh Centennial Park for the annual kids fishing tournament on Saturday and were not disappointed with the turnout. The Sophiasburgh recreation committee used to hold the tournament every year, but it hasn't been held in several years following the disbanding of the former recreation committee. “For a first year back, I'm very happy with the tournament,” said recreation committee member Todd Foster, noting the great fishing

nament too.” Additionally, Foster said the recreation committee wants to draw attention to, and promote the use of, Sophiasburgh Centennial Park. He said the committee wants to make sure residents know the park is there to be used. “A lot of the money we're fundraising for is going to go into Northport park improvements, among other things in the community as well,” he said. “One of our focuses is to bring this park up a notch and get it used more.” Samantha Stock was among the parent spectators at the tournament. She said her son, 10-year-old Austin, is already an outdoorsy type, but it's nice to have more outdoor events for kids. “We travel to all the different fishing tournaments in the summer,” she said. “We've gone to Belleville, we went to Wellington and he won the Wellington derby — he looks forward to it every year. He fishes daily.” Foster thanked everyone who volunteered to help organize and set up the event, saying the Sophiasburgh recreation committee members are second-tonone. “I can't say enough about them. These events take a lot of people to plan — especially when you're dealing with a lot of kids around a water area,” he said. “We just have a tremendous group of volunteers.” The event was also sponsored by Werner Angling Adventures and by County Shores, who each provided prizes for the winners.

weather. Many kids lined the Northport park's docks on Saturday morning, hoping to hook the biggest catch of the day. However, for Foster, the event was all about getting people active in the community once again. “We want to promote, first of all, youth activity in the community, getting kids outside and active and introducing them to the sport of fishing,” he said. The event coincided with Ontario Family Fishing Days, a province-wide initiative to allow Canadian residents to fish Ontario waters without the mandatory fishing outdoors card. The days extended from July 4–12. Foster said that tie-in helps the event be inclusive and promotes family participation. He said the event was registered with the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters and received sponsorship through the organization. “They've given us a lot of things to hand out to the kids — guides on how to fish, techniques, and different species charts,” said Foster. Each participant left the event with a loot bag of lures, literature, and candy. Foster said it was important for the recreation committee to make sure that no young angler felt left out. “Our whole goal is to make sure every kid is a winner with this tournament and we've come up with some unique categories here to be sure that it isn't the kid who catches the biggest fish here,” he said. “The kid who tries hard, he succeeds in this tour-

Beanie Babies among finds at Legion’s giant yard sale

“What the Legion stands for means a lot to all of us — to be here for the vets — and if it wasn't for them we wouldn't have the life we lead today, that's for sure,” said Kennedy. “We do whatever we can to support the legion because they do a lot of good work in the community.” Kennedy thanked all the volunteers for helping organize and set up the sale and said it wouldn't have been possible without their help.

Ladies auxiliary, branch work together to raise money to put back into community CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

A portion of Monique White's 1,500-strong Beanie Baby collection was splayed across a display table in the Picton Legion Saturday morning. After 15 years of trading and gathering, it was time for White to say goodbye to the collectibles, even though she admits it was tough. “When we take them out I'll take them and give them kisses,” she laughed. “It is hard to part with, but I have nowhere to put it.” With Branch 78 and the Picton Legion Ladies Auxiliary joining forces on Saturday to host a yard sale, White said it was a good opportunity to sell while supporting the Legion. “This is our fourth sale. I've had over 1,500 — this isn't all of my collection, I have more at home,” she said. “I have them from Japan, Germany, Portugal, from all over the country, I used to trade beanies with people from other countries through eBay.” White said she works at a thrift store in Deseronto operated by Community Care for South Hastings.

Ladies Auxiliary president Rose Cole said the auxiliary hosts the yard sale every year in support of the legion. This year, she said, the Legion itself also organized a car boot sale. “We're raising money and it goes back into the county,” she said. “We sponsor sports and other things when we can.” All the items at the front of the Legion were donated

for the cause with buyers paying a donation for their finds. Legion first vice-president Diane Kennedy said the boot sale had about a half dozen vendors early on Saturday morning. She said anyone who was interested could rent spaces and tables for a fee and sell what they like. “We're doing okay, it's a beautiful day,” she said. Kennedy said her late husband was a big supporter of the legion and it's a cause that is close to the hearts of all those who volunteer for the organization.

COMMENTARY Restrictions of expression must be carefully considered

SEVERAL music festivals across Canada have made headlines recently with their decisions to ban certain articles of clothing deemed to be offensive to particular segments of the population. Included among these items are headdresses mimicking those worn in Native ceremonies and the Confederate flag, which many have argued is a banner of hatred. Both of those bans are justifiable in the spirit intended, though one wonders whether the people who are wearing these articles of clothing are intending to stir hatred or divisiveness or if they’re simply just following a trend. In some cases, they might even be purchasing and wearing these articles of clothing for the right reasons. One could note that articles like headdresses and feathers are popular sale items for tourists visiting native areas, as are teepees and traditional articles of clothing, even though those articles are not common in day-to-day life in those communities. How, then, are people without a knowledge that such articles are meant for sacred ceremonies able to decipher they’re doing something offensive? Objections to the Confederate flag have been well documented over the years as it has had associations with racism, slavery, and white supremacy. That said, some have used the flag as a symbol of the south and do not see that history. They only see the portrayal of the flag on the Dukes of Hazzard car, as the backdrop when Lynyrd Skynrd plays music — as they will this weekend at Ottawa’s BluesFest. Should they have to give up their association with the banner because of others’ misuse of it?

Inevitably, it all comes down to education. The more people can learn about concerns others have with the symbols they choose to portray, the more likely they can make an informed decision about whether they want to be associated with the baggage the symbol brings and the commentary that follows. Media outlets, festivals, parents, and schools have a duty to continue to talk about the proposed bans of such symbols and the reasons people are raising concerns. Ignorance of history should not be an excuse. Dialogue and community debate is crucial. All that said, we are ever concerned about who gets to set the standard for what is considered offensive. One festival organizer told the Toronto Star this week that “we will be banning any symbols that can create divisiveness, project hate or judgment on to other groups or take away from the unity that our fans enjoy on-site.” That’s a pretty swooping generalization, particularly because something one person finds offensive might not be offensive to another. Sporting symbols can cause divisiveness, so can most any kind of political statement. Perhaps some of the music itself could be offensive in some way to the right ear. It’s a slippery slope. Freedom of expression in a delicate right that must not be taken away. The trick is in finding appropriate standards to curtail inappropriate hate speech, while not removing the ability to express one’s self. One hopes education can set sensible standards most can voluntarily adhere to.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR New association for Consecon Lake residents could be a good thing

Over 25 years ago, I bought a farmhouse on Consecon Lake. One of the first neighbors I met was the late Bernice Hardy. She had a concern about a proposed waterfront commercial development, and we agreed it would be a good idea if there was an organization of property owners to speak for its members on issues, and also to promote friendship and neighborliness on the lake.

So was born the Consecon Lake Property Owners Association. It was a good thing for me personally because by running it I met people on the lake, which was nice. But we also had interesting programs. One featured two older people who had lived in farms on the lake their whole lives, and who reminisced about how life used to be. That night 42 people all somehow fit into my parlour and

enjoyed ourselves. We learned that before electricity came this way, a farm tractor could be made to power a clothes washer (inside the house) with the use of a long belt. Some years later we had a similar program. A lady spoke that night who had been a schoolteacher to a teenaged Leonard Root (since deceased), who was then in his 80s and in the audience--he also spoke. She

remembered how Leonard and the other boys used to have a big bonfire out on the lake in the winter, and would leap over the flames with their ice skates on. (One thing that never changes is that boys love to do crazy, risky things.) We also had meetings featuring speakers from provincial ministries who spoke about such things as the health of the lake and its fish populations. After my years at the

helm I was ably followed by Keith Edgett and Ken How, but the association has now been dormant for a few years. I think it could again be a good thing for Consecon Lake and its residents. We need new blood. There is some cash in the bank that could be useful to get things started. If you have some interest, please call me at 399-2982. Bill Burt

Volunteers pleased with new direction CORRECTION

The volunteers of Hospice Prince Edward wish to thank all those in the community who have shown support for our efforts to engage the Hospice board in discussion of serious issues that arose over the past year. As you know now, the Hospice Prince Edward Foundation president, secretary, and interim executive director have resigned. The two remaining directors, Birgit Langwisch and Mary Camp, have indicated their willingness to

work with us to ensure that Hospice maintains its supportive role in our community. Indeed, Langwisch and Camp have spent many hours at the residential hospice assisting staff and working with our interim executive director Stephanie MacLaren to keep all our programmes running smoothly. We are, of course, grateful to the Prince Edward Family Health Team for their generosity is sharing MacLaren with us during this crucial time. Langwisch and Camp

are also actively seeking candidates to achieve a quorum for the board and hope to have new members in the near future. These are the first steps to ensure that the board returns to an open and transparent process, which would include the participation of interested community members. On behalf of the volunteers, we thank you all. Jean Algar, Pat Dye, Annette Gaskin, Marianne Malachowski

Some incorrect information appeared in the front-page story in the July 9 Gazette. Sir John A. Macdonald was not born in the county, nor the Quinte region. He was born in Glasgow, Scotland Jan. 11, 1815 and moved to Upper Canada at age 5 with his family. After four years in Kingston, the Macdonalds moved to Hay Bay. John Macdonald considered the Quinte region his home for the next 11 years. His father, Hugh, rented the stone mills at Glenora from 1830-1835. The Gazette regrets the error.

I was interested in the letter published in the July 2 issue of your paper, “Macdonald too flawed to celebrate with statue in his honour”. I learned facts for the first time about Sir John A’s career that I was not aware of, for instance his removal of Chinese citizens’ vote which he considered his “finest achievement”. The July 1 celebration of Macdonald’s statue seems to have been based on his connection with the county and in ignorance of his racist policies which are, of course, not taught in school. Hopefully it will be taught in the future given the revelations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission released one month before the Macdonald fete. The least we owe our First Peoples is this – the recognition of what the Canadian government did to their communities. Let us erect an edifice of Truth and Reconciliation in our society.

Kellough to speak at Picton branch about her latest mystery

The Burying Ground is Janet Kellough’s fourth book in the Thaddeus Lewis series and, once again, the author delivers a skilfully crafted murder mystery that’s a must-read. Kellough will be speaking about her latest work at two events at the public library on Tuesday, July 21. She will be at the Consecon branch at 1 p.m. and in the evening at the Picton branch at 7 p.m. One feature of Kellough’s writing that makes her novels distinctively engaging is her ability to weave history into stories in such a way that events and characters transcend the historical period in which they are set. The story grips you and the historical backdrop sweetens the deal or, more precisely, the crime. Beginning with On the Head of a Pin and followed by Sowing Poison, 47 Sorrows,

INSIDE THE LIBRARY Christine Renaud

and now The Burying Ground, the series focuses on the investigative adventures of itinerant preacher Thaddeus Lewis and, in this latest, his son Luke as well. The settings include Prince Edward County,

Kingston, and Toronto, all in the mid 1800s. "As soon as I read about The Toronto Strangers' Burying Ground,” says Kellough, “I knew I wanted to set a story there. When it was first established, it was way out in 'the woods' - the back of beyond, and no one anticipated that Toronto would ever grow so large that it would be in the way. And yet, by 1851, the village of Yorkville (yes, that's the once-hippy, now trendy Yorkville) wanted it moved, because it was right on the corner of Yonge and what later became Bloor Streets, and the village wanted the land." Many readers will recognize and appreciate the Toronto connections in this book. “People don't realize how much the geography of Toronto has changed,” Kellough says. “In 1851, Front Street ran right along the har-

bour, the Don River was serpentine, and separate villages were strung out along Yonge Street as it headed north. Now the waterfront has been filled in, the Don has been straightened, and all the little villages have been swallowed up by the city. I spent a lot of time poring over old maps looking at how it used to be." Kellough’s research pays off and The Burying Ground comes out the winner as we are reacquainted with the affable Lewis and his son. "Thaddeus Lewis's son, Luke, really developed as a character in my previous book, 47 Sorrows,” explains Kellough. “I grew very fond of Luke as I was writing him, and I wanted to continue his story as well as Thaddeus's.” Kellough realized when talking with readers that Luke was a very popular addition.

“But there were times during The Burying Ground when,” she reveals, “he just broke my heart.” In the end, the author says she feels she accomplished what she set out to do, “write a character that you love so much you just want him to be happy. And at the end, he is - sort of but one of the saddest things about Luke's story is that in spite of the deepening respect between he and Thaddeus, there is always a certain constraint between them, because Luke can't be totally honest with his father." Perhaps this part of the mystery will be resolved at the presentation by Kellough on July 21. In addition to the readings and Q&A, copies of The Burying Ground will be available for sale and signing by the author at both the afternoon and evening events.

MV Quinte Loyalist, MV Glenora scheduled for mandatory dry-dock in 2016 Quaiff said after receiving no real answers about their concerns, the municipality asked MPP Todd Smith to become involved. Under legislation, the government has 30 days to respond to questions from

members, but Quaiff indicated even his request for answers was met with a generic reply at the last minute. Quiff said it’s unsettling to think the ferry service carries between 25,000-30,000 people a month in May and June and 40,000 a month in

July and August and with the vessel’s scheduled return delayed three times, travellers may be getting frustrated and turned off from visiting. MTO spokesperson Reeva Hampson told the Gazette the delays have been due to unanticipated work to maintain the

safety standards of the Wolfe Islander III. “Delays at dry-dock prior to this point have included repairs not anticipated until the ferry was out of water at the dry-dock and the hull and interior steel could be fully exposed,” she said. “This included repairs to the steel

protecting the propulsion unit, repairs to fuel tanks, and significant steel repairs throughout the vessel.” The latest delay, she said, relates to the construction of a new wheelhouse, which will include significant work on the electrical, control, and navigation system. The

timeline includes repairs, sea trials, inspection, and certification. “Ultimately, safety is our top priority and the people of Wolfe Island and the entire brader community deserve a ferry service that meets the highest of standards,” Hampson said. “As we do our due diligence to make sure a safe and wellmaintained vessel returns to the water as soon as possible, we appreciate the patience and understanding from the community and local businesses who share in our desire to provide a safe, reliable transportation service.” Hampson said the MTO believes the timeline for the vessel’s return is firm. Looking ahead to the future, she said the MTO does not foresee a time when fleet reductions due to maintenance will affect service. “Once the Wolfe Islander III returns from dry-dock in September, there will be no more large upgrades planned for the remainder of the MTO ferry fleet and five-year mandatory dry-dock periods will be kept to a minimum, restricted to off-peak times of the year,” she said. According to Hampson, the two vessels that regularly serve the Glenora crossing, the MV Quinte Loyalist, which is operating at Amherst Island now, and the MV Glenora are slated to undergo mandatory drydock in 2016. She said the MTO is working to ensure the impact of that work is as minimal as possible. “The mandatory drydocking of these vessels will be planned in advance to take place in the off-peak periods of the year and will not impact the level of service,” she said. On busy days, staff at the crossing have been working to operate the ferries on a load-and-go basis, offering speedier trips than the regularly scheduled times. Meanwhile, Quaiff said the County is encouraging visitors and residents to plan ahead, follow the crossing’s Twitter feed for information,, and to spread the word about alternate routes. Prince Edward County Chamber of Tourism and Commerce general manager Mike McLeod he’s heard anecdotal stories about the inconvenience, but he has also seen a positive arising from the situation. “It slows people down and we have heard some won’t come back that way. On the other hand, some visitors have taken the time to get out, read our map and figure out where they really want to go.” McLeod said ferry service staff members have been to the Chamber office more regularly than ever this season to pick up boxes of their red tourism maps to distribute to waiting motorists. Quaiff indicated he is not aware of any work being done to quantify how much traffic is being turned away from the county.

McLeod encourages energy discussion Chamber manager looks for proactive approach to rising hydro rates ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

Mike McLeod is hoping to keep the current flowing in the county after an Ontario Chamber of Commerce effort to spark discussion about high energy rates. The Prince Edward County Chamber of Tourism and Commerce (PECCTAC) general manager was part the committee that worked on a report called Empowering Ontario: Constraining Costs and Staying Competitive in the Energy Market released last week. The report is the result of more than a year of research and consultation with more than 100 businesses, energy experts, and government insiders. Among the most startling numbers in the report, some five per cent of Ontario businesses consulted reported they would close their doors in five years if energy prices continue to rise, while another 38 per cent expect their bottom lines to shrink. Also, an accompanying Leger public opinion poll found that 82 per cent of residents in eastern Ontario found that rising electrical prices would impact the Ontario economy and 86 per cent felt it would negatively affect their disposable income. “Summer is heating up and so is the price of electricity,” McLeod said. “The price of electricity in Ontario is set to rise over the next two decades, adding to the cost of doing business in the province. If something is not done now to mitigate these increases, businesses will leave the province, jobs will be lost, and our economy will suffer.” Though manufacturing isn’t the driving force in the county economy it is in some Ontario jurisdictions, McLeod said he feels this community is not immune to the concerns. “I would think there are companies (impacted). With medium- and small-sized businesses, it would be

someone who uses power a lot,” he said. “Think supermarkets, the cement plant, farms, and anyone using heavy equipment.” McLeod said he was planning on attending a meeting with other chambers of commerce this week to brainstorm ways to help businesses in the region. “Ask me later in the week for a sense of how we’re going to do this,” he said. “We’ve received great press in the last week and we want to keep this going and keep the government’s attention.” In the meantime, McLeod said he’s encouraging both business people and residents to talk about energy bills and to share stories about how they’re being impacted by rising rates. The message, he said, is that rural Ontario — which is driven primarily by smalland medium-sized business — doesn’t want to be left out of a solution. “When we get that dialogue going, a lot of times large companies have the government’s ear,” he said. “Our concern is that we don’t want everyone else forgotten. In rural Ontario, it’s about keeping jobs here. If there’s a way to control high energy costs, we want to be part of the discussion in figuring out how to do it.”

RECOMMENDATIONS

McLeod also stated that in the 23-page report, he and his colleagues proposed some solutions they believe will be beneficial in pointing Ontario toward lower rates. First, he said, is moving toward transparency in electricity pricing. He said it’s generally a dry topic and many people’s eyes glaze over when they’re reading their monthly bills. The chamber representatives feel more could be communicated to all consumers. “In your bill, there’s all the information about where the costs are, but on what’s

forcing those costs, not everybody knows,” he said. “It’s incumbent on government to know what is driving these costs.” Another recommendation is that the debt retirement charge presently on all Ontario hydro bills remain on residential bills in the future. McLeod said the charge started in 2002 as a way to repay stranded debt from the split of the old Ontario Hydro in 1999. Last year, the Wynne government indicated it would remove the charge from residential bills in 2016 as a way of softening the burden on residential customers. He indicated that doesn’t add up to a lot of savings, especially given then impact it is having on businesses. “It’s pennies a day, about $70 a year of savings (on average),” he said. “Our view is keep it the way it is and pay it off faster. Sure, we’d all like to see that $70 disappear, but that’s shifted onto manufacturers and the industrial sector.” As those businesses see an increased burden of the bill, McLeod said they’d likely have to increase prices on units of productions, which are ultimately passed on. If some close their doors, that further increases the burden. “It’s not fixing the problem,” he said. Other recommendations include removing barriers and encouraging consolidation of local delivery options, sharing Smart Meter data with the public, and economizing the purchase of power from generating sources. “It’s a hugely complex issue, the generation and distribution of electricity,” McLeod said. “We want to make sure the procurement model our public utilities use to purchase power is done in the most cost-efficient and cost-effective way.” That, the report said, would include cancelling costly feed-in tariff contracts for renewable power and not importing hydroelectric power from Quebec.

County hires Moyer for new director of development services position Engineer leaves post with Sioux Falls CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

A new face will be overseeing development services in Prince Edward County. The municipality announced via press release on Tuesday that engineer Peter Moyer would join the County complement as director of development services. Moyer comes to the county after last serving with the municipality of Sioux Look-

out as director of infrastructure and development. He had worked in the northern Ontario municipality since 2006. The release highlights Moyer's expertise, saying he brings significant experience and leadership, listing areas such as engineering, development, planning, building, public works, facilities management, and information technology. “With a practical and creative approach to municipal business, Peter will apply a customer service perspective and a long-term strategic

approach to the development process,” the release says. The release says the hiring is another step toward the municipality's ongoing goal to improve the efficacy and efficiency of municipal services. “The 2012 corporate realignment resulted in the creation of a development services group in order to offer an integrated 'one-window' department to assist developers and builders investing in the County,” the release says. “The new director position is integral to this approach, and one of the first steps to implement the new

approach will be the completion of a service delivery review of the County’s development approval processes.” Moyer says in the release he's excited to join the municipality. “I look forward to working collaboratively to achieve the goals and objectives established by council,” says Moyer. “While I expect there will be challenges, there are also opportunities to further secure and grow Prince Edward County as a world class home and destination. My family and I look forward to establishing ourselves in

the community and learning about the county’s history and culture.” Mayor Robert Quaiff says in the release Moyer's arrival means the municipality can take steps to improve the development process. “With Peter’s arrival, we are ready to move forward with our commitment to meet with developers and builders to explore ways to improve service delivery,” Quaiff says. “Ultimately, our objective is to encourage growth and development in a way that meets the growing and changing needs of the community. I am

pleased to see this important initiative moving forward.” Moyer is the third County executive to join the municipality’s staff after serving in Sioux Falls. Community development director Neil Carbone and former chief administrative officer Merlin Dewing previously worked there. Moyer appeared on the “sunshine list” in 2014 as Sioux Lookout’s second highest-paid employee, with a reported salary of $111,778.95. -With files from Adam Bramburger

The people have spoken. Over the 17 day run of the 22nd Art in the County exhibit, patrons voted for the People’s Choice Award. Most cast their ballots for Pamela Carter’s painting “Boardwalk Beauty.” That said, there was support from the varied audience for most pieces in the juried art show. “One of the great things, which became very evident with each day passing, was that people really enjoyed this years’ exhibition with almost every piece of work receiving votes,” said

award committee member Peni Patrick, who was involved in the vote counting. Carter said the inspiration for her painting came during a walk along the boardwalk near her Wellington home. She saw a woman who came to the county to visit her boyfriend, loaned her a hat and shawl and convinced her to pose for a photo. Carter paints her vivid scenes with warm, rich colour at her studio at 52 West Street. -Staff

County wineries take 30 per cent of Great Canadian Wine & Cheese Match honours

Canadians from coast to coast voted for their favourite Canadian wines to pair with Canadian cheeses in the Great Canadian Wine & Cheese Match presented online by Natalie MacLean. MacLean is the editor of Canada's largest wine review web site, publishing hundreds of wine reviews every week for more than 167,360 members. There were six cheese categories and out of a possible 18 medals (one gold, silver and bronze in each category) to be won from wine regions right across Canada we won three gold and two silver medals! In the mozzarella cheese

and wine matching category the gold went to Rosehall Run's Righteous Dude Riesling. In the creamy cheese category gold went to Huff Estates Cuvée Peter F. Huff Sparkling. The county’s third gold went to Harwood Estates Winery Marquesa 2011. Casa-Dea Estates Pinot noir picked up a silver in the cheddar, while Long Dog Vineyard's Pinot Noir picked up silver in the goat cheese category. The only category we were shut out of was the feta cheese match. This competition will be nothing but good news for area wineries as winners were announced on CTV News, Global TV and CBC

TV and thus provided lots of publicity for the area. And remember, this competition involved hundreds of wines from across Canada and we won almost 30 per cent of the medals so a big congratulations goes out to all. Now to current goings on in the county. This past weekend I was invited to Del-Gatto Estates as winemaker Pat Del-Gatto emailed saying he was releasing his rosé wine and he happened to mention that Fratelli Pete’s Za would be cooking and serving wood fired pizza from their mobile oven, As we sat there listening to live music by Vintage Soul I saw what is most cer-

as a matter of fact I tell people that it's actually a "match made in heaven"! Why? Because the big guy upstairs turned water into wine and served it with bread. And I happen to think that pizza is just a more refined piece of bread. This coming weekend there's lots more events happening around the county but the one I will be sure to attend is the third annual food fair at Sandbanks winery. I'll have to diet all week in anticipation of strolling around the vineyard with a glass of county wine listening to live local music from Instant Rivalry while checking out the various food trucks and booths. The wineries are in full swing now and I have a list of all of them on my website. I also have a new section called Sip & Savor as many wineries are now offering a bite to eat to go along with their fine wine. From picnic lunches to enjoy in the vineyard; to funky food trucks; to fine dining and yes, my wood fired pizza, there truly

tainly the darkest rosé I have ever seen — almost like a Pinot noir. I was anticipating a heavier taste due to this colour but was very surprised when I took my first sip. I found an explosion of mouth-watering raspberry flavour that was intense and very satisfying. And yes, it matched very good with the pizza we had. People are always asking me why I like pizza and wine so much and I tell them my theory and I want to share that now with you.Not withstanding the wine and cheese pairing I talked about earlier in this article I personally find that wine and pizza is the perfect pairing ...

Second attempt at world record for bubble-wrap popping Saturday morning Festival offers full day of family fun in Wellington, but organizer says this is likely last year ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

tion at www.eventbrite.ca. Those visiting the site can search â&#x20AC;&#x153;bubble festival.â&#x20AC;? Konecny said participants age 7 and up will be able to be registered on the site, either at home or online on mobile devices so they can get out to the arena floor immediately. There will be volunteers registering those who cannot register in advance. The popping will take place for two minutes straight. After that, there will still be plenty to do. A bubble bath race â&#x20AC;&#x201D; soap box derby with teams making bath tubs on wheels will run from 11 a.m. to noon. Festival goers can also go to the Wellington harbour for a chance to walk on the water in a giant bubble for just $10. Activities shift to the park beside Lake Ontario at 11 a.m., where one can make soap bubbles to fill the sky. Konecny said a participant from Bolton, Ont. is bringing 25 large wands for children to make giant bubbles.

STOMPING PARTY Participants in the world record challenge at the inaugural Bubble Festival, last July attempt to pop bubble wrap at Essroc Arena. This Saturday, the festival will host another attempt at the record. (Chad Ibbotson/Gazette staff)

At 1 p.m. the bubble gum blowing contest will commence and at 2 p.m. there will be a bubble wrap fashion show. Prizes are available. Also in the park, one can play soccer while running around in a huge inflatable bubble suit for % between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. Throughout the event, there will be vendors in the park and the event will be held in concert with the Wellington farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market, which allows wineries to bring their bubbly wines to sell. A host of food vendors are expected. Konecny said those looking to sponsor the festival or to volunteer are still welcomed. In particular, volunteers are needed for the record attempt as Guinness requires there to be one volunteer overseeing every 50 people popping bubbles during the event. Sign up online at www.bubblefestival.ca. Again this year, Sealed Air has graciously provided bubble wrap for the event.

the

If Prince Edward County is to go into the Guinness Book of World Records for bubble wrap popping Saturday will have to be the day. Wellington Bubble Festival organizer Tina Konecny told the Gazette it has been a struggle to continue the event in its second year as she hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had the help from volunteers she anticipated to start. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to do it next year, so get out this year,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is our last chance to break the world record. We need 1,120 people to come to the arena this Saturday.â&#x20AC;? Leading up to last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inaugural event, organizers thought theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have to beat 366 people popping bubbles. They did that, with 452 showing up, but another community had already beaten the mark with 942 taking part. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The record was broken six times last year and twice since then. The Guinness people said thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very unusual,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would have broken it last year, had no one else broken it.â&#x20AC;? That bit of bad luck

was unfortunate, however Konecny said the festival did what it set out to do. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We estimated that 1,200 people came last year,â&#x20AC;? she said, adding business people in the village told her they had their best day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It brought in a lot of people who had never been to the county. It was a good family event.â&#x20AC;? Still, Konecny said it has been a challenge to get sponsors to sign on â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the festival still needs to raise $1,200 to cover costs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and several businesses suggested theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just too busy to take part in a summer attraction. Still, Konecny said she wants to go out with a bang â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or several, with the popping of bubble wrap (whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a record or not, people will still get to stomp on bubbles), or smack of gum in a biggest bubble contest, which was also a big hit last year. The world record attempt will take place at the Essroc Arena at 10 a.m. though Konecny said organizers are hoping people will start showing up to register at 9. This year, organizers are hoping to speed up that process with online registra-

The machine will be used in numerous 4-H fundraisers. The association also announced $4,000 had already gone to Wellington's Storehouse Food Bank to purchase protein for food boxes. PEFHT executive director Stephanie MacLaren said the Cattleman's donation will help ensure that critical cardiac rehab equipment is in good working order. “Two years ago the Cattlemen raised $70,000 for our cardiac rehab program and we have a very robust cardiac rehab facility with cardio machines — treadmills, elliptical machines, stationary bikes — and this donation goes toward the maintenance of that equipment,” she said. LAST WEEK’S ANSWER She said the 16-week cardiac rehab program is wellused and ensures that Prince Edward County residents don't have to travel as far as Kingston to receive treatment. “It's very intense and there's only 20 people that go through it at a time so we get 100–120 people that go through the program per year,” she said. “It has a great success rate.”

She said the donation would a be a huge help in continuing to provide that service. “We're grateful for their ongoing support,” she said. “Cardiac rehab wouldn't be possible without them, it's a huge service to the community, otherwise people would have to travel to Kingston to do cardiac rehab.” In terms of the dollars raised on Saturday, Hancock said the association has a number of worthy causes they could fund, and those are being debated currently. He said the association has been considering the logistics of helping the Wellington food bank procure fresh local beef to help feed its clients. “We're working towards the idea of facilitating the acquisition of local beef and supplying ground beef to their food bank,” he said. “That's in the works.” The association has earned a solid reputation as a fundraising organization over the past few years, donating to various community and health-care causes. Hancock

said the fundraising really took off after the club decided to fund PEFHT's cardiac rehab program for the association's 10th anniversary. “It was an obvious fit and we jumped from generating a little bit of money into major fundraising,” he said. “Since then we've had a bigger focus in the community.” He said the association is always looking for ways to give back to the community that will have the biggest impact. He said the association envisions itself not as the givers, but as facilitators. “It's not like we're giving, we're facilitating the community to be involved and especially the agricultural community,” he said. Hancock thanked all those who attended and supported the event. “We're only successful when the people come out and have that community spirit to take part in the auction,” he said. “I mean, selling a pie for $700 — it's great community spirit for those things to occur.”

Ontario to introduce ombudsman for patients

The Government of Ontario is inviting people across the province to share their ideas on what skills, experience and personality traits they would like to see in the province's first patient ombudsman. Until Aug. 31, people can go online to help recruit Ontario's first patient ombudsman by identifying which qualities they think are most important for the role. The province will use this information to guide its selection of the Ombudsman. The patient ombudsman will assist patients and their caregivers who have not had their concerns resolved through existing processes at hospitals, long-term care homes or community care access centres. According to the government news release, the key functions of the patient ombudsman will include: addressing unresolved complaints from current and former hospital patients, longterm care home residents, community care access centre clients and their caregivers; investigating healthsector organizations in response to unresolved complaints, as necessary; and making recommendations to health-sector organizations following investigations. To further strengthen the voice of patients in Ontario's health care system, the province says that they are also improving the patient relations process in hospitals. While many public hospitals already have patient relations departments and processes, as of Sept. 1, all public hospitals will be required to have a staff

Now that everything is in full bloom, you might have noticed that there is an area or areas in your landscape where the view isn’t so delightful. Maybe it’s the neighbor’s old car that he has been restoring for the last few years; maybe it’s just a weedy field next door. You could erect a fence to hide what you don’t want to look at but why not do something that you are going to love to look at; plant a living screen. You can select one type of plant and make a screen using several of them. Ontario Eastern White Cedar, Thuja occidentalis, is one choice for a thick lush hedge. A member of cypress family and also known as arborvitae, it will grow at a rate of one to one-and-a-half feet per year. They require trimming every second year to keep them thick and healthy.

It also grows six to 10 feet tall and six to 10 feet wide. Mock orange is an upright, deciduous shrub grown for its very fragrant, creamy white flowers that bloom in early summer. 'Aureus' has golden yellow leaves in spring that turn yellowgreen in summer. These are just a few examples of shrubs that can be used for screening. When planting a screen made up of different shrubs, be sure to pay attention to height and keep them relatively the same or at least plant taller shrubs in the back and the shorter ones in the front. It is also pleasing to see a combination of leaf colours, complimentary flower colours if they bloom at the same time and fall colour. Take your time to research shrubs that you might use in your screen and talk to some experts at the garden centres. Fall is a good time for planting shrubs.

All yews are slow growers so be sure to put in mature plants if you want a screening hedge in a reasonable time. You can also select several types of shrubs to build a screen. Ninebark, Physocarpus opulifolius, ‘Monlo’, has beautiful bronze leaves and grows six-10 feet. It is attractive to bees, butterflies and birds and grows relatively rapidly. It is also drought resistant. There is not much that is not really good about this plant. Another choice for inclusion in a multi shrub screen is double file viburnum, Viburnum plicatum f tomentosum. This is a show-stopping shrub that grows six to 10 feet tall and 10 by 15 feet wide. It is a dark green shrub with double rows of white lace cap flowers in the spring along horizontal branches. It needs moderate moisture and well-drained soil. This shrub is a moderate grower. Mock Orange, Philadelphus coronarius ‘aureus’ is another candidate for inclusion in a multi-shrub screen.

Police urge vigilance after morph suit sighting Man with concealed face reportedly knocked on door late Sunday night JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER

Prince Edward OPP are asking the public to be vigilant and secure their property after a bizarre occurrence in Picton over the weekend. Community services officer Anthony Mann confirmed reports made to the social media site Facebook that an individual wearing a blue or dark morph suit and clenching a baton knocked on the door of a home in the evening hours of Sunday around 11:35 p.m. This was followed by an individual pounding on the door of another residence in the vicinity at around 12:30 a.m. Monday morning although complainants did not get a good look at the unwanted door knocker and an identification was not able to be made. A morph suit is a spandexlike suit that covers the entire body including the face and head and comes in an array of colours. Generally worn at parties, sporting events and other social gatherings as a joke, the morph suits have gained in popularity over recent years. But there's nothing humourous about lurking at night, carrying what appeared to be a weapon and banging on doors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We flooded the area and patrolled extensively but we were unable to locate anyone,â&#x20AC;? Mann told the Gazette. According to the original poster of the image on

The Festival Players of Prince Edward County remind patrons they have three days to catch an award-winning show as its mini-festival soloFest wraps up this weekend. Science journalist Alanna Mitchell stars in Sea Sick, an adaptation of her book by the same title she put together with Franco Boni. The story follows Mitchellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s journey that began as a prairie girl who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like boats and was afraid of the water to a journalist specializing in oceans.

That show is at Mt. Tabor Friday and Saturday at 6:30 p.m. and Sunday at 1:30 p.m. Following after at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday is Brooke Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Trudeau Stories, which offers a behind-the-scenes look at famed Canadian prime minister Pierre Trudeau through the eyes of close friend. Tickets are $29.90 per show or $45 for the double bill any night. The box office is at Books & Company or 613-476-1991. -Staff

A good day of riding for Horse and Pony Club About 20 competitors saddle up to ride in various classes in third show of the year

Buffalo showcase a concern for Dukes bench boss

Wellington’s schedule full of extremes

CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

Riding enthusiasts gathered at the Picton Fairgrounds on Sunday for the Prince Edward Horse and Pony Club's third show of the season. Riders competed in classes such as English, western pleasure, games, and showmanship. “We had a good turnout,” said club member Amber Hennessy. “Numbers were down a little bit because of the Tweed Fair going on, but it was still a good turnout.” About 20 riders took part in the daylong event. Hennessy said the show was the third of the club's four events during the year with shows being held in May, June, July, and August. The club has been hosting the shows for over 25 years, she said. Hennessy said the local shows give young riders the chance to acclimate to competitive events. She said riders often attend these types of shows and gain experience and get comfortable with things before pursuing other levels of the sport if they wish. “It's a good day for kids to come out, have fun,” she said. “Once you feel comfortable with it you can go up to a different level of showing. It's just a fun outing.” Riders from Napanee, Belleville, Kingston and beyond often come to take part in the events, said Hennessy. Horse and Pony Club member Lesley Cronk said the club had a good day for riding on Sunday. “Conditions were certainly excellent, no rain,” she said. She said she's noticed an uptake recently in youth participants, which she said is phenomenal to see. “It's great to see our

The 2015-2016 Ontario Junior Hockey League (OJHL) schedule is going to be an exercise of extremes for the Wellington Dukes.

That means with the September showcase (Sept. 22, 23) event and a road game against the Junior Sabres on Dec. 9, the Dukes will play three contests at the new Harbor Centre this season along with stops in Burlington, Orangeville, Milton and Georgetown. If any Wellington fans have hankerings to see any of those clubs this season, they had better organize a car pool. Another fact of life for the Dukes this season is that the club will not participate in the Woodchuck Cup showcase event in South Burlington, Vermont for the first time in over a decade due to the start up date of OJHL play. Wellington Dukes coach and general manager Marty Abrams said this was the first year the general managers didn't get together and craft a schedule, leaving the task up to the OJHL. “The league wanted to start early and the process is a lot different than it has been in years past,” he told the Gazette. Abrams had indicated to the OJHL the club might want a few games on the road to start the season due to the fact there would be no participation in the Woodchuck Cup showcase “This schedule takes it to the extreme,” Abrams said. You look at it and it really is a schedule of extremes for us.” Part of the early start date could be attributed to an extra long shutdown over the Christmas holidays for the World Junior A Challenge but Abrams couldn't see the logic in the move. “I'm not really sure what the motivation is considering that tournament only affects 20 per cent of the teams in our league if history repeats itself,” he added. Another wrinkle in the schedule is that the Governor's Showcase is now a midweek event. Originally slated fro the Sept. 26-27 weekend, Wellington will play a pair of mid week games in Buffalo and to make matters more tedious for the hometown club, they will get an extended stay in the Queen City. Wellington plays the North York Rangers on Tuesday, Sept. 22 at 4:30 p.m. And then gets to wait around for over a day before taking on the Oakville Blades at 7 p.m and it's not ludicrous to assume that Oakville will have been able to sleep in their own beds in between their two contests while it's a lock Wellington will be staying at a motel. “It's not good,” Abrams said. “Playing at 7 p.m. The next evening is not what we would like.” About the only bright spot for Wellington in terms of scheduling has yet to be announced but there is a

good chance Trenton will host the Northeastern Showcase event on the weekend of Jan. 16-17. “Trenton has indicated they would host and certainly that would be a great spot for our fans and our team to play,” Abrams said. “Trenton hasn't hosted anything in a long time and they deserve the opportunity in my opinion.” Wellington starts its training camp Aug. 22 and plays its first exhibition game at home Aug. 23 against Cobourg at 2:30 p.m. Wellington welcomes the Pembroke Lumber Kings on Aug. 28 for a 7:30 p.m. Start.

Project will include drainage improvements, road widening for larger vehicles and bicycle lanes FUNDING, from page 1

“We've been working on this project for quite a while,” he said. “…There's been a lot of temporary fixes, but the fact remains that road can't have a temporary fix, it was put in long ago, it's a challenge, it's a problem, it's not safe.” Kramp said the project will include engineering, design work, and improvements to culverts and ditches to allow for better drainage. The road will also be widened to accommodate larger vehicles and bike lanes on each side. Kramp said many people don't realize just how many bikes travel along the road and said the bike lanes would improve safety. “The last thing we want to have is someone hit by a vehicle because there's just absolutely no room on the road for the vehicle to pass either way,” he said. Smith noted that the original Rednersville Road was constructed in the late 1700s

RECONSTRUCTION The County Rd. 3 reconstruction will widen and improve the road structure from County Rd. 23 to County Rd. 28, a distance of about 5.8 kilometres. (Chad Ibbotson/Gazette staff)

by United Empire Loyalists and served as the main crossing before Hwy 401 and Hwy 2 were constructed. “This is an old piece of road,” he said. He said the project has been identified by a priority for the county since at least 2011 when he took office.

“This is extremely important,” he said. “It takes a while to get these things approved — especially when you're working with various levels of government.” He said he's taken every opportunity to talk about the importance of the road in the legislature.

Quaiff attributed the announcement to good communication between the municipality and upper levels of government. He said the funding will help the municipality complete the project much faster than would have been possible had the municipality had to fund it in its

entirety. “The forecast we had for County Rd. 3 needed to be budgeted over several years time, so now what this does is it frees up about $1.5 million of additional funding that we can now put into other prioritized roads construction challenges in Prince Edward County,” he said. He said the municipality's asset management plan for roads indicated the municipality needs about $38 million per year over the next 10 years to bring every county road to a good condition. “This $6 million from both the federal government and the provincial government is a blessing for us and it provides us with a great road on County Rd. 3,” he said. Quaiff thanked community development department and engineering staff for their work in putting together the successful funding application. Ameliasburgh councillor Roy Pennell said it's a big announcement for more than

just the residents who live along the road. “It's certainly a big announcement for the people of Ameliasburgh but, further to that, it's important to all the people of Prince Edward County,” he said. “This road is greatly used, whether it's at harvest time for fruits and vegetables, or just touring the bay.” Pennell said it was back in 1951 that the road was first pegged for reconstruction. “Here we are in 2015 and it's actually going to happen.”. While the construction will likely cause a few traffic headaches over its three-year duration, Pennell asked residents to be patient. “I would hope people can sit back and put up with small pains for long-term gains.” The funding comes as part of the Conservative government's $1-billion Small Communities Fund, of which $272 million has been pledged to support projects in Ontario communities with fewer than 100,000 residents.

THE OTTAWA GARDEN CLUB

would like to thank the following gardeners who welcomed them on their June garden tour: Earlier this month, Picton Pet Valu made a sizeable donation to the Loyalist Humane Society and to Prince Edward Canine Control following a successful Pet Appreciation Weekend (PAW). The store raised $11,577 and encouraged the additional donation of more than $2,800 in products. The totals were second in Canada behind Dartmouth, N.S. improving on Picton’s second-place ﬁnish last year. The store donated proceeds from dog washing and nail clipping during April, sold paw recognition cards, held a cupcake sale, and a cotton candy sale. Here, Loyalist Humane Society president Gail Robinson, left, accepts a cheque from Pet Valu owner Tricia Daley as a pair of adoptable kittens and the store’s resident feline T.J. look on. Daley said her goal is to place ﬁrst in Canada next year. She thanked her customers for their annual support of the fundraising and awareness-building campaign. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

Special council meeting about hospital redevelopment July 22

Quinte Healthcare Corporation (QHC) officials were among those expected to be on hand at Shire Hall last evening to provide a first hand update on the process of building a new hospital in Picton. Prince Edward County Mayor Robert Quaiff called for the special council meeting July 22 at 3 p.m. “for the purpose of council receiving information on the process to construct a new hospital in Picton, and the municipality’s role in that process.” Representatives from QHC, the Prince Edward Family Health Team and the Southeast Local Health Integration Network were expected to provide an overview on their roles in the redevelopment of the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital. QHC spokesperson Susan

Rowe said the meeting would bring councillors up to date on the planning and submission of a business case for a new hospital to the province. Rowe said it was expected Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Brad Harrington would brief council on behalf of QHC and he would be handling the case for a new hospital from this point onward after vice-president Katherine Stansfield announced last week that she would leave the organization. “Katherine has done most of the work from QHC's end on the case for a new PECMH and this will be the opportunity for her to hand it over to Brad as he will be taking on those responsibilities.”

and spoke about concerns that brought them out, among them: the environment, democracy,and energy. Council of Canadians regional director Mark Calatrava facilitated the meeting and offered a presentation about how chapters work. There was a unanimous vote to move forward with the chapter and the first official meeting was held Monday. County resident Lynne Rochon attended and said another meeting will be held in the county soon. She said she believes in the group. “We are a non-partisan group of citizens who are wanting to make positive change in our area. What we do in our own locals reflects on the bigger world picture.

Action

After 30 years, the Council of Canadians has come to the Quinte region. The social action group was started in 1985 by author and activist Mel Hurtig. He wanted to discuss how the federal and provincial governments were becoming increasingly focused on big corporations and resource extractions and to give a real voice to those people who felt there was a better approach. More recently, Maude Barlow was elected chairperson in 1988 and she championed ways the non-partisan council has highlighted social, economic, and environmental injustices. June 29, Richard Hewitt organized a meeting in Belleville at the OPSEU Hall to discuss organizing a Quinte area chapter. About 40 people attended. Prospective members introduced themselves

Additional grants speak to quality of applications to preserve historic sites HERITAGE, from page 3

CCF funds administrator Jefferson Gilbert explained the committee members were there because of a special consideration made for the first intake of grant requests. “During the granting process, the grants committee decided as a result of this being the inaugural grant process and in recognition of the high quality of all the applications they would present two additional grants.” Herb Stone, the co-ordinator of the St. Mary Magdalene tower restoration project was delighted with the news his project received $1,500. He said the committee’s choice shows they value of the church’s involvement in the community as a concert venue as well as the distinct architecture of the significant building which was built in 1913 and last restored about 25 years ago. “They were interested in this building as part of the fabric of Main Street and for the role it plays in this community,” he said. Stone indicated the restoration is moving nicely toward its scheduled completion in October, thanks to the generous support of its congregation who recognized the value in doing the work right and restoring the tower to the original state.

WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY From left,Built Heritage Fund and Christmas house tour committee

members Elizabeth Crombie, Marilyn Lauer, Jackie Soorsma, and Carolyn Clarke join with Carol Penhale of the County Community Foundation to deliver a $1,500 grant to County of Prince Edward Public Library chief executive officer Barbara Sweet (second from right). (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

He indicated his committee receives regular updates from contractor Eastern Restoration & Masonry Contractors. Last week, a few members of the congregation were able to go up in the tower to see the work being done. “They’re doing a beautiful job,” he said. Later in the morning, the committee concluded their tour in front of the Picton library branch, where it handed out anther $1,500. The branch is one of 2,509 libraries philanthropist

Andrew Carnegie donated money to build, with just 125 of them in Canada. County of Prince Edward Public Library chief executive officer Barbara Sweet said the grant would support the final project in a series of planned projects over a five-year period to preserve 1907 Carnegie’s gift and to help it survive the elements of Canadian weather. In particular, the project will focus on the windows lining the front facade of the branch

Classical Treasures of Iberia

“We’re restoring them. They’ll be weather stripped and they’ll be more energy efficient,” Sweet said. “A weight-and-pulley system will be restored and the windows will be cleaned and painted.” The work will also provide increased energy efficiency for the library. Crombie said Picton can feel special to say that it has a Carnegie library. Other community members added they were also impressed with how libraries remain hubs across the county.

TOWER RESTORATION The granting committee visits St. Mary

Magdalene Anglican Church to present a $1,500 grant. Church representatives included Herb Stone, Rev. Carles Morris, Brian Pinkerton, Janet Howes, and John Clarke. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

The Built Heritage Fund had a committee consisting of Stephanie Lynn, Jackie Soorsma, Marilyn Kennedy, Lauer, and Crombie. Carolyn Clarke was also a member of the house tour committee, though she was

absent from the group’s deliberations. For more information about the Built Heritage Fund and other CCF grants, please visit the web site www.countycommuntyfoundation.ca.
