PEFHT recognizes donor for gifts to help equip its wound care clinic

ADAM BRAMBURGER Staff writer

The Prince Edward Cattlemen’s Association continues to beef up local health-care services with its ongoing generosity. On Tuesday, the Prince Edward Family Health Team (PEFHT) dedicated a plaque at its Sandbanks Medical Centre site in Wellington to recognize a contribution of $13-14,000 to install a stateof-the-art diagnostic tool called a Dopplex Ability monitor and a specialized hydraulic wound-care chair at the centre. Both devices arrived in March and were earmarked for the lower limb

and wound care clinic, operated by registered nurse Sylvia Kempers, a wound care specialist. Kempers said the new monitor has helped her better serve patients with

circulatory concerns. She notes that whether a patient has been diagnosed with diabetes or not, she checks each of their limbs with a blood pressure cuff, then runs a series of calcu-

E S TAT E

lations to diagnose their condition. Kempers said the new monitor will take all four of those readings at once and it will automatically do the calculations. As a result, she has accurate numbers to read and she has served her patient in a fraction of the time. “It’s very effective and its a good preventative tool,” she said, adding that by comparing changes in the readings, she can recommend courses of treatment for her patients. The hydraulic chair has also proven to make life easier for Kempers while she does compresses and foot wraps for patients. Some tests also require patients to be almost lying flat instead of sitting up. She said with the previous chair, she had to put in

S E C T I O N

some real effort to move and position her patients, using a lever system. Sometimes, positioning patients was difficult without receiving help. With the new chair, she can put a patient into the right position with the use of foot pedal controls, which ultimately frees her up to do the work. Among the benefits to the patient, Kempers said the fully-padded chair provides an increased sense of comfort and, for some, it also provides a sense of security. She noted that some larger patients felt constrained and uneasy in the old chair, but this one is designed to accommodate up to 650 pounds safely and the hydraulics offer ease of movement.

Councillors appear open to establishing pollinator-friendly zone along Long Point Road Committee refers issue to staff to determine viability of proposal and to discuss other potential sites on County road system for designation posal and other possible pollinator-friendly zones. White proposed a twoyear pilot with the pollinator-friendly zone running along Long Point Road (County Rd. 13) from Babylon Road eastward to Prince Edward Point. There would be limited grass cutting. She said the move would protect nesting sites of pollinators and also of small animals such as turtles, snakes, and toads. Councillor Barb Proctor

Staff writer

Councillors seemed receptive to a pilot project proposal to limit grass cutting and designate a portion of Long Point Road as a “pollinator-friendly zone.” The proposal was presented by resident and beekeeper Julie White at last week's committee-of-thewhole meeting, where councillors voted to refer the issue to staff for a report on the viability of the pro-

was supportive of the proposal. “The piece of road that Julie is proposing, there are no intersections, there and no sharp corners,” said Proctor. “It's a perfect pilot project at this time to begin with because we're not impeding visibility.” Engineering, development, and works commissioner Robert McAuley said there are no current plans to cut that portion of road. He suggested the roadside could be cut in late September if staff

decide it needs to be. He said the project has the potential to be expanded to more areas in the future. “There is an opportunity to consider this on a more expanded basis as part of our ditch rehabilitation programs and some of these other areas that might work as well,” he said. “I think it's a very worthwhile effort to see just what we're dealing with.” White said up to 80 per cent of the world's plant species are pollinated. She said roadsides play an

important role and provide habitats for many different mammals, insects, and birds. She said the Pilot could be evaluated in four areas at the end of two years. The four areas she proposed were: community acceptance and support, impact on biodiversity of roadside wildflowers and vegetation, effect on quantity of road kill or animal/vehicle collision, and cost or cost savings for the municipality. White said her company — Long Point Honey Company — is only the second honey producer in Ontario to be certified organic. She said a requirement of the certification is that no nonorganic pesticides can be used in a three-kilometre radius (28 square-kilometres).

“It says something about Long Point — the community spirit there, the commitment to the environment, and the unbelievable diversity and activity going on there,” she said. She said the certification speaks to the area's suitability for the pilot. “It's a perfect place to have a project to continue to protect pollinators with a pilot to only mow once a year in late fall when the pollinators aren't nesting,” she said. She said she would be prepared to develop and cover the cost of a public education pamphlet to explain and promote the initiative. She said she would consider creating signs to tell residents why the roadsides aren't being cut.

Guild’s quilt show attracts large crowds to check out artistry in fibre crafts Featured artist shows many her popular free-motion quilting technique AdAm BrAmBurger Staff writer

There weren’t many lulls in the action at Essroc Arena last weekend as 1,300 people passed through the Prince Edward County Quilter’s Guild’s two-day show. The event’s featured artist Elizabeth Dillinger said she believes the steady attendance is proof that there’s a cultural shift taking place about quilter’s place among craftspeople. Finally taking a break after a busy weekend of demonstrating, bartering on prices, and booking fellow quilters into classes in her Pickering store, Dillinger noted that when she first started quilting nearly 25 years ago people primarily looked at quilts as bedding. While their artwork still does lie on a lot of beds, Dillinger said that fibre artists are starting to get more credit for their work on patterns and colour. As a result, more respect is given for them as artists and for their work — be it wall hangings, clothing, or yes, even traditional bedding. Dillinger conceded that if she had to stick to traditional quilting, she likely couldn’t do it as she was never a traditionalist. Though she remembers shopping for fabric to sew dresses for her Barbies with her mom when she was young, Dillinger said she never really got into quilting until years later. It wasn’t only the traditional aspect, it was also a lack of confidence that she could be an artist. An emigrant from Maine, Dillinger studied graphic arts, then noticed she could apply her drawings and artwork to fabric through a technique she calls free motion. She explains while traditionally a sewing machine is used for forward and backward stitches, if she reaches down toward the teeth, she can actually draw shapes with her stitchwork. The result is a series of vibrant art quilts that offer

bright colours and pictures that offer more detail that some traditional styles. Dillinger said she had visited the Prince Edward Guild before and knew how active the group has been. She had high expectations for the weekend and said she was satisfied with the number of people who visited her display, asked questions, and signed up for classes. “I love teaching people and turning their ‘I can’t’ into an “I can,” she said, adding that she typically takes just six students at a time and mentors them in their work. Dillinger has built up a collection of works, including some quilts that have won Canadian and international awards. She said she had some good interest from people looking to buy this weekend as well. “There are some I’m not

ready to part with,” she said. “Often I’ll pick some price that I don’t think they’ll reach, but they’ve been coming back and calling my bluff,” she said. Dillinger indicated she usually takes up to a year to do a piece now, given that she’s managing her store and teaching as well as supplying some of her own patterns for a distributor now. Without distractions, a piece with intricate stitchwork could take four months to complete. Dillinger looked around at the quilts on display and offered her compliments to the local guild for the work they produced with such a small membership.

Mullins delivers captivating coming-of-age story at Huff Estates Monologue performer allows storytelling to stand on its own and delivers believable emotion to start Festival Players’ new Sunday series ADAM BRAMBURgER Staff writer

Those looking for fancy costuming, special effects, lighting, or props might have been disappointed as the Festival Players of Prince Edward County opened its Sunday Series at Huff Estates. Those looking for audience connection and good, well-scripted story telling found a performance worthy of their time in Weaksauce by Sam Mullins. The articulate Mullins opened with a story of personal humiliation he suffered at age 13 when a bunch of

pretty girls were enjoying a birthday party at his home by the lake, when they lost the beach ball they were playing with. Demonstrating the motions he took, Mullins strides across the stage as if running after the ball, when all of a sudden he explained how he slipped and fell on a wet dock, only to have a nail shred his bathing suit and his skin, leaving him to expose his private parts to the entire group of giggling girls, all while crying out for his mommy. If, as he said he planned to do, Mullins attempted to look cool in time for his first year of high school, the test

SAM MULLINS

had backfired and it'd be a few years before he would woo the opposite sex again. Flash forward a couple years and our hero was ready to score as he travelled from British Columbia to Guelph at the ripe age of 16 to work at a summer hockey camp. It was there that he'd find his first true love, then nearly lose it, all while going through the emotional roller coaster of teenage emotion and angst that comes with a

bunch of new experiences. With the use of an accent and staged movement to talk from a different angle, Mullins introduces his audience to his nemesis at the camp, a cock-sure British import named David Oliver, who brags about the money he makes as a professional in Britain — part of a quota system for homegrown talent that already gives him a sense of privilege young Mullins didn’t have — and who shows his carefree attitude toward “birdwatching,” which is of course British slang for scoping out the ladies at the camp. Mullins portrays Oliver as the over egotistical stereotypical hockey player in some respects, one who uses such terms of endearment as “butterface” to describe a girl who was everything he wanted to find, but her face. Oliver’s bravado was a bit

too much for the innocent Mullins to take, and the way women responded to his accent and his British charm was enough to send him into a rage — however, never in front of Oliver at first. Mullins did his own bit of noticing the women around him, ones that turned the Guelph dorms he considered much like a Panamanian prison into a much more attractive place to spend a few weeks. Surely enough, as in most coming of age stories, Mullins had found his own girl to be smitten with, a girlnext-door type brunette named Amanda who seemed to enjoy his jokes and conversations. She even gave him the sign as she offered the first kiss — a sign Mullins tells the audience was when he knew that despite his internal “does she love me” monologue and his fear of mixed messages, he had the green light to proceed. Mullins shared how he didn’t have any trouble with the fact that Amanda had taken the first step in their budding relationship. “I made a move!” he mimicked his younger self doing, complete with a fist pump and a heel click. In an interview with the CBC once, Mullins talked about monologue storytelling borrowing from a simple method of establishing a truth, breaking it, then fixing it again. The break, naturally, came at the hands of the super villain Oliver. Having seen the Brit in action, Mullins proceeded to tell Amanda to be careful about him, which caused strife in their own relationship. Then, while they were spending some time socializing apart, Mullins learned from Oliver that the latter had made out with the girl he thought would be his girlfriend — sending Mullins into a hate-filled rage, one

where he comically refused to help Oliver overcome a personal obstacle, to kill a moth holed up in his room. Ultimately, the stress became too much for him to handle, Mullins tells the audience, so he decided to chaperone a trip of campers going to the African Lion Safari. The trip makes for good comic relief and Mullins delves into some physical comedy, delivering a tale of a one-on-one staredown with a baboon that happened to grasp onto an unfortunately stuck window on the school bus. The climax of that story came as a zookeeper tranquilized the animal, leaving the group with a quiet ride back to Guelph to recall their harrowing experience. It wouldn’t be long, either, until Mullins was delivering the climax of the 75-minute main story. He and Amanda made up after she learned Oliver was sleeping with another counsellor and they were free to rediscover one another in one room amongst a sea of empty dorm rooms, spending a night talking and listening to their favourite music. Naturally, that would be Mullins’ second last night at the hockey school. This time, he says, he did make a move, proclaiming they should have sex before he goes home. Amanda agreed that would be the perfect end to a special time they shared. Before confirming that his big moment to cash in his virginity had happened, Mullins took the audience to a couple of comical places. First, he went to buy condoms and decided to settle on the variety pack because he really didn’t know what he was doing. Then, he ran into Oliver, who saw through his lies about how he was going to spend the last night at camp and also saw through the clear plastic bag to read the writing on the variety pack and put the pieces together. His advice, while wellintentioned — as many of his interactions with Mullins were — ended up adding to the nerves of the night and building the suspense. Ultimately, the story ended happily with the couple finding their way through to create a beautiful memory. It ended, though as Mullins tells the audience love comes and goes, bringing excitement each time, until eventually it doesn’t go away — leaving a hopeful and tender conclusion to a hopeful and sweet romantic story told before a captivated overflow audience. It worked because it felt real and believable, because Mullins opened up the vulnerable parts of his story many men may gloss over, and because he let his storytelling stand on its own.

The Recreation Outreach Centre made sure the summer got off to a rocking start last week for almost 125 local and visiting children. Four fun-filled days were had at PECI where over 30 volunteers and several organizations kept children occupied and fed with nutritious lunches. Hilary Fennell, program facilitator at the ROC, said the camp which ran Monday to Thursday last week had 123 campers, an increase of 23 over last year. As was the case last year, the camp had a number of activities in both the athletic and arts disciplines. “Our volunteer coaches Matt Ronan, Rob Garden and Sarah Walker were teaching skills development, leadership and sportsmanship on the athletic side of things and we had both physical and dramatic arts activities as well,” Fennell said.

PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY

Looking back in the

Picton Gazette 90 years ago — 1924

n The committee looking at redistribution of federal ridings unanimously approved a plan that would see Prince Edward and Lennox linked as one electoral district. The plan also split Hastings County in two, with the southern townships together in their own riding and the north connected to the Peterborough area. n Picton’s intermediate baseball team caught a bit of pennant fever following an 8-7 victory over Point Anne, which was the latter’s first loss of the Bay of Quinte season. The Picton side needed to go into the final inning of the game before it could solidify the victory. Croft led off Picton’s offence with a double in the bottom of the ninth, then he scored by beating the throw at home on a Frederick single. n Howard C. McMullen, one of Picton’s most respected seniors, was struck by an automobile and was badly injured. The driver of the car was arrested and sentenced to a mandatory 20 days in jail for being in charge of an automobile drunk.

70 years ago — 1944

n Though it presented no actual numbers to back its proclamation, the Gazette suggested that surely Prince Edward County attracted a record number of tourists that summer. Many resorts had difficulty accommodating tourists that called and it was noted the county’s population had likely risen several thousand people in the span of a month. n Bombing near Pt. Traverse was the cause of several fires. While the Royal Air Force trainees purposely burned over the land and thought the flames were extinguished, some of the fire spread beyond their control. Firefighters from the Picton station were called to the scene to bring the grass fires under control. n Five more county men enlisted in the navy in Kingston, showing an increasing trend of local men choosing that branch of the Armed Forces. Two Bloomfield men, a Picton man, a Demorestville man, and a Northport man joined the register.

60 years ago — 1954

n The Picton Kiwanis Club pea project had a successful growth year with its crop coming in 400 pounds short of 12 tons from seven acres of land. The produce was expected to net about $800, which would be used to support the club’s projects throughout the county. n The Ninth Anti-tank Regiment of the Royal Canadian Army, which had been headquartered in Belleville was to be broken up. The headquarters and two batteries were to be absorbed by the Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment, the other batteries in Napanee and Gananoque would become independent.

20 years ago — 1994

n Voyageurs steered their canoes through the water near Fort Kente for the sixth annual portage festival. A new feature for 1994 that drew favourable reviews from visitors was a pirate ship with onboard cannons that would “attack” other vessels. Re-enactors came from far and wide to be involved in the weekend activities at Wellers Bay. n A group of 15 concerned citizens, including three from Ameliasburgh started the Greater Quinte Action Network to promote economic activity in the region.

Birders enjoy expecting the unexpected

Birders have had good reason to be excited so far this year. May started out with the unexpected appearance of a southern worm-eating warbler as well as a Kentucky warbler, both of them appearing at Prince Edward Point on almost the same day. The observers who discovered the Kentucky Warbler actually made it on Oasis TV as the film crew were documenting a typical early morning walk during the Spring Birding Festival at famed Prince Edward Point. With cameras rolling, we scurried off in search of the bird, but failed in our attempt, our fruitless efforts being filmed as we searched. Fortunately, someone near the far end of the 20 or so with us that morning did see it again as it skulked about in the prickly ash. The wormeating warbler was seen at the banding station and a different one was there 10 days later. Another Kentucky warbler and worm-eating warbler were present at about the same time at Parrott’s Bay Conservation Area near Amherstview. Do these things travel together? Well-known Kingston area birder Mike Runtz has a sense for good habitat and what it might produce. On a hunch, he stopped along a narrow, seldom travelled road near Milford on the night of May 19 to include a whip-poorwill on his list for the Birdathon he was working on in support of the Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory. He had little trouble hearing one as several were calling enthusiastically. But in amongst them, he heard something

Prince Edward OPP and first responders rushed to the scene of a single motor vehicle collision involving two pedestrians on Picton's Main Street Thursday afternoon. A vehicle travelling westbound on Main Street struck

different. This was a Chuckwill’s-widow, the southern version of the Whip-poor-will who also repeats its name, and has been heard in the area only a few times in past years. The bird continued to call through May and June and is probably still there albeit exhausted in its tireless efforts to attract a female. The appearance of these southern birds is simple to interpret. They are what we refer to as “overshoots”. Liken it to a car approaching a Stop sign. The driver misjudges the distance and goes past the sign. Southern birds when migrating north, sometimes go past their sign and end up north of their northernmost breeding range. Most, we suspect, get back on track and migrate south again when the times comes. The worst that can happen is the nesting season will be lost to them as they won’t be able to find a mate. But, what about a western lark bunting from the Prairies that found its way to Amherst Island this year? Like the two

warblers that sang for several weeks without finding a mate, this lark bunting is equally determined to find the lady of his dreams. For more than a month, this love sick vagrant performed his nuptials, first flying to a field that it perceived to be the perfect nesting spot, then alighting on a utility wire and pouring his heart out in song. During that time he “whistled and he sang till the green wood rang, but he could not win (or even find) the heart of a lady”. How do we explain the appearances of these vagrants when only they know the answers? Is it a short circuit in their migration programming that dictates that they should migrate east instead of to where they belong? Is it prolonged winds from one direction? We can only speculate as we raise our binoculars and enjoy what to many birders, may be a life bird, one they have never before seen. The dead bird I held in my hand at Point Petre on Nov. 8, 2003 was the first cave swallow to ever appear in Prince Edward County. Only a decade earlier, the vagrant from Texas, Mexico and Florida was first discovered at Cape May, New Jersey. A few years later, they started appearing along the shores of Lake Erie, in November, of all months, a time when insectivorous birds should be gone from our area. Then it was Oshawa, and finally, this dead bird I held in my hand. And, they have been appearing ever since, in November, in small numbers. What is their purpose in being here as every single one will perish from starvation? The one I held was severely

emaciated. It was sent to the Royal Ontario Museum to be included in their specimen collection. Strong southerlies or southwesterlies in the late October to late November period in advance of long trailing cold fronts are believed to envelope these birds and usher them north The swallows moving north with these warm winds gather along the lake shore, not wanting to get pushed offshore. But, their days are numbered as the birds struggle to find what few flying insects remain above the water’s surface. They will never find their way back home to Texas. Friend Ian Dickinson of Belleville wrote about this very subject in one of his recent Internet blogs. He concludes, “While we all as birders relish the excitement of an errant bird, we rarely reflect on what must be going on in the mind of a bird that has its programmed behaviour turned upside down and without having the luxury of a large pre-frontal cortex, has no way to problem solve its way out of the dilemma. We, as lovers and protectors of cats, dogs and mute swans, never give a second thought to the confusion, discomfort and likely demise of lost warblers, kingbirds, flycatchers and sparrows.”

removed. Both pedestrians went to Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital as a result of non-life threatening injuries sustained from the accident. A 73-year-old Picton man

was charged with failure to yield to a pedestrian of contrary to Section 144, subsection seven of the Highway Traffic Act.

find a parking place several blocks from the facility. Whether the people flocked to the courthouse because of their intrigue about the Thomset and Lowder hangings or because they wanted to experience the room where Sir John A. Macdonald started his legal career, there’s no denying that people came out to view the re-enactment held in the courthouse that afternoon at a princely some of $125 each, which included a dinner and reception at the Waring House afterward. Friday’s event alone should offer conclusive evidence that there is money to be made by sharing the county’s storied past. It simply must be cultivated and presented to the public in an entertaining way that provides an experience that people can’t seem to find elsewhere. Some members of the gallery couldn’t help but get into character themselves during Justice Robert Sharpe’s re-enactment as they hissed and booed the defence and offered the convicted murderers a rude send-off, just as many people did in 1884. Outside, touring the grounds afterward also seemed to capture visitors’ interest as they were asking all the right questions about how the doors were set up to let the prisoners out of their cells for the hanging, about who might have been kept in the local jails, and about the people who came to see the spectacle of the hanging. Some even asked how they could get to the Glenwood Cemetery to see Lowder’s monument and learn more of the story than they were able to take from a quick presentation. Indeed, Picton is fortunate that its courthouse still remains standing so that historians can share the past — the good, the bad, and the indifferent — with new generations so that those stories may live on and teach lessons so that future generations strive to do better than those before and to celebrate the milestones that did occur at the hands of those who roamed the grounds in the days of yesteryear. It turns out this community is also fortunate to have one of the last remaining air bases from the Second World War era as Camp Picton not only brings people to the community looking to find out about the air training exercises held there and the regiments that moved in after the war, but it also attracts those looking for a nostalgic backdrop from that period to sell history like the documentary about Whitby’s Camp X that was shot here and will be shown on the History Channel again this weekend. Those are just two examples of a rich history that Prince Edward County has. Other aspects of its United Empire Loyalist tradition, the agricultural exploits of the land, the tails of the county’s marine history and fishing villages, and many other stories are present here waiting to be unearthed. In many cases, graveyards, buildings, and stories passed down through generations have also survived making it an easier task to share our history. As historian Peter Lockyer and others have said, it’s high time the county works to use its local history to its advantage and not leave its storytellers, museum staff, and curators of historic properties begging for handouts. Ultimately, Friday’s re-enactment shows it can be done. With an election coming up this fall, it’s time for a fresh slate of ideas that will hopefully lead to a comprehensive plan that ensures events like the trial become more common and also ensures this community benefits.

Social Justice Group selects best teen essays

The Social Justice Group at the County of Prince Edward Public Library & Archives sponsored a Teen Essay Contest, which ran from March to May and invited teens to write or use any creative means to explore issues of social justice. The contest, open to all teens in the County, ages 13 to 19, offered prizes of $100 for first place, $75 for second place, and $50 for third place. Thirteen entries were received. A special thanks goes to Prince Edward Collegiate teacher Jennifer Travers for her support of this initiative through her Grade 12 challenge and change class. Three members of the library’s Social Justice Group served as judges for the contest. Ursula Cattelan, Robin Lunn and Sharon Morch found it extremely interesting to read the entries. “It was a difficult task to choose a winner,” says Robin Lunn. “There were some very good submissions and a wide variety of topics covered, so there was lively discussion in making our decision.” Included among the entries were creative formats such as a video essay by Rose Boomhower on ageism and a zine on issues relating to public education by Sarah Crouse. In the end, the winner of first prize of $100 was Jessica Foster for her essay entitled “Wrongful Convictions and Restitution”. Second place prize of $75 went to Sinclair Dacombe for “Policing Requirements and Inequality”, and the third prize of $50 went to Kimberly Kennedy for her essay, “Education is the New Buffalo” on aboriginal education. The County of Prince Edward Public Library and the Social Justice Group want to thank Gudrun Gallo, owner of Frugal & Company, Realtor Eliza-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

United Church was rocking for a good cause Sunday

Picton United Church rocked on Sunday afternoon. A stellar list of County musicians played and sang to raise funds for the fight to keep Prince Edward County’s south shore turbine free. The concert was led off by the Reasons. They had the audience clapping and singing along to their vintage 1960s music. Master of

ceremonies Mark Davies joined in and kept the music coming with his Ed Sullivan style introductions. We heard from George Burns, also known as. Bud Gregory, the Reasonettes, the Frere Brothers, Suzanne Pasternak, John, Penny, and Roanna Kitchen, Tom Leighton, Little Bluff, Mark McGreevy, Lenni Stewart, Rita

DiGhent, and Jeanette Arsenault. What a line up and what an afternoon! The church resonated with good feelings and good wishes for the Prince Edward County Field Naturalists (PECFN) as they progress to the Appeal Court of Ontario. The audience sang along, clapped and stood to acknowledge many per-

formances. PECFN sends our sincere gratitude to all the entertainers and organizers of the concert. This fantastic support by the community is what will enable us to be successful again at the Appeal Court and save the South Shore. Cheryl Anderson PECFN past president

Bill allowing ombudsman greater powers welcomed

What a breath of fresh air to see that Bill 179, which would empower the Ombudsman to investigate complaints against municipalities. Having spent the past year or so watching the local power that be shirk their duties, by failing to uphold bylaws, failing to enforce provincial statues,

failing to return phone calls, failing to respond to letters of concern and failing to operate in a open and even handed manner. We all understand that no one is perfect and no society is universally fair, however as a society, we strive to level the playing field for all. There are those, howev-

er, who do not strive for inclusiveness but strive to control such as the large chemical companies and large Agri-Corps and are driven by monetary gain. There are those too who are driven by ego which is massaged by self importance and the control factor. With the advent of a new council in the fall, hopeful-

ly I can count on a timely response to the Fenceless Pool in my Neighbours yard, however, barring this, I can at least hope to have my concerns looked at by a impartial, dedicated, professional public servant. Stan Grizzle East Lake

Picton Home Hardware owner Adam Busscher has taken on a leadership role among his industry peers in North America. Busscher was elected the vice-chairman of the board of directors of the North American Retail Hardware Association (NRHA) at the industry association’s annual meeting in May in

Las Vegas. The not-for-profit trade association seeks to help hardware stores and lumberyards across the United States and Canada become better and more profitable through training, communications sharing, and networking throughout the industry. Busscher bought his

father’s store in 1994 and has been operating it since. Under his watch, the Picton Home Hardware Building tripled in size and opened its current location by the traffic circle. According to a release by the NARHA, Busscher has earned the respect of his peers for his forwardthinking attitude, ability to

change to meet customer’s needs, and his investment in training staff to better serve customers using NRHA materials. He was named the NRhA young retailer of the year in 2007 and is the lone Canadian serving on its board of directors this year. -Staff

CRGS welcomes new class of cadets Aspiring pilots hope to earn their wings flying above the county Jason Parks

Staff writer

Locals are rolling out the welcome mat and the welcome runway at Loch Sloy. Members of the Picton Flying Club hosted a pair of barbecues for Central Region Gliding School (CRGS) Air Cadets this week, introducing themselves and offering a look at the civilian air activities that take place at Picton's airport. Hungry fresh-faced youngsters from all over Ontario trying to secure a their gliding wings or obtain a power wings licence poured into the Flying Club's hanger Monday to have a hot dog and a heaping helping of Prince Edward County hospitality. Flying Club member Mary Rae Main said the barbecue lunches started last summer as a way to introduce the cadets to other users of the airport and the people who live the houses below as they soar high above the town of Picton. “While they are out there flying the planes and training, they'll see some of the members coming and going, introduce the pilots and tell them a little bit about civil aviation, both in a general sense and what takes place here,” Main told the Gazette as the young fliers filed in. With most of the club's 90-plus members being former commercial pilots or people with a life-long affinity for flying, the meetand-greet over grilled meat was a prime opportunity for the discussion of all things aviation. Major Robert Burns is the new commanding offi-

cer of CRGS and was posted to the helm of the only two-site gliding school (Mountain View and Picton) in Canada last month. Major Burns offered his sincere thanks to the Flying Club for feeding his cadets and welcoming them to the Picton airfield. Burns told the Gazette he's been impressed with skills and character of the young students as they learn to take to the sky. “There's a lot of responsibility entrusted to the cadets in this program and it's amazing to see them take to it.They are out there learning about the interaction between the power tow planes and gliders it's quite a feather in their cap to participate in this program,” Burns said. The goal of the program are many fold. Originally designed to encourage young people to join Canada's forces, CRGS still does that however, it also fosters a foundation and provides a training ground for young people that will move on to be involved in civil aviation for the space program as was the case with CRGS graduate Commander Chris Hadfield. When he wasn't lauding his staff or their young charges Monday, Burns was remarking about the CRGS set up. At Mountain View, cadets were being instructed in new class rooms and the renovated facilities were top notch. And the Picton airport, while showing its age, provided a great runway where there is nary a bad wind day for Cadets eager to get up for training flights. “It's a Second World War

airfield and it's still the best way to have three runways in a small area. The (British Commonwealth Air Training Plan setup) drastically reduces the cross winds,” he added. Air Cadet Jake Lee was among those taking a break Monday afternoon in the Club hanger. The four-year Cadet from Newmarket was a member of the 140 Aurora squadron and has was impressed with the Mountain View site where he completed several training flights last week. “The new hangers and buildings are amazing, I'm really enjoying them — that and the air conditioning,” Lee said with a laugh. Lee knew when he was six years old that he wanted to fly and was eager to join the Air Cadet program. “I have always wanted to be involved with military aviation that is still my goal,” Lee said, adding he hopes to attend RMC in Kingston and study aerospace engineering. Flight Sergeant Christian Maclean of London's 614 Squadron is also hopeful to attend Canada's only military university one day. He's been impressed with the CRGS facilities as well and said it has provided a great environment to learn. Maclean has his hopes set having a successful summer on the stick of the Schweizer SGS 2-33 glider. Getting my glider wings is a huge stepping stone to getting my power licence which I hope to attain next summer. After that I hope to go to RMC,” he said. Cadets will be honoured at culmination ceremonies Aug. 14 on the parade grounds at CFD Mountain View.

Councillors discussed the potential for changing Bloomfield's Mill Street to one way at last week's committee-of-the-whole meeting. Ultimately, committee voted to have staff come back with a report on the implications of changing the road's two-way designation to one way and any recommendations. There was no indication in the motion which direction — either toward Stanley Street or toward Main Street — the one-way would go. The motion was brought forward by councillor Keith MacDonald, who said a resident requested that he to speak to the issue following discussions at a recent traffic committee meeting. “This has come up many times before, I mean this street is very narrow. There is a problem with snowplowing, the street is very hard to widen with hydro lines,” he said. “I'm only acting on the requests I've had from people in the community.” He said many local businesses use the road, and that has to be taken into consideration. “I'd like to see something discussed. I'd like to see it go to staff, particularly public works, and see what they can come up with,” he said. “That's the only reason I'm having any part of this.”

MacDonald said he didn't want to say whether the road should go one way or the other, but leave it for staff to recommend based on their own research. “That will have to be decided on in the report which way it's going to go,” he said. “… This traffic study under Mr. McAuley will iron a lot of those issues out.” Councillor Barry Turpin agreed the issue has been raised numerous times. He said a lot of things have to be weighed before making any changes. “It has to be considered on a number of things. There are two or three businesses that use it and some of the problem may be solved by having no left turns when you're coming up to it at the post office,” said Turpin. “There are some businesses that use it that want to use it both ways.” He agreed staff should consider how it will affect the businesses that use it for transporting products. Engineering, development, and works commissioner Robert McAuley said it would be at least fall before staff would be able to bring something back to council. “I would certainly want to engage the local public in that area as well so that there is some kind of communication with them to see what their thoughts are and take a look at all the options,” said McAuley.

Thompson earns people’s choice award Art in the County patrons pick Bloomfield man’s painted work Chad Ibbotson Staff writer

Art patrons have crowned local artist J. Douglas Thompson the winner of the 2014 Art in the County people's choice award. The juried exhibition and sale began on June 27 and featured 112 works of art, including Thompson's acrylic painting titled “Character.” The organizing committee for Art in the County announced Sunday Thompson would be this year's recipient of the award, which is present to the artist whose work receives the most votes from visitors attending the show. On hand to present the award certificate and cheque were Prince Edward County Arts Council chair Sue Barclay, and prize donor Bev Skidmore of Bev Skidmore Real Estate. The painting is described as a “atmospheric skyscape” and depicts ominous-looking clouds and rolling green hills. The Bloomfield resident ran an advertising agency and design studio in Toronto for 25 years before he and wife Pat moved to Prince Edward County just last year. “My paintings are poignantly attempting to show the light of hope juxtaposed against realities of life’s challenges,” Thompson said in a release from Art in the County. “Light always defeats the darkness, no matter how little of it there is.” Art in the County chair

Terry Culbert recently spoke of the talent of artists in Prince Edward County. “I think the calibre of the artists in this county is unbelievable — I really do,” said Culbert as the show opened. “Some of the best artists in all of Ontario are right here, they really are.” He said Thompson's work was no different. “Gathering the voting ballots, counting and cataloguing the results four times during the run of the show had Mr. Thompson’s painting way out in front from day one,” Culbert said in the release. The five jurors awards went to: Andrews; Graham Davies for his photo “10 Seconds #1”; Helen Fujiki for her “Twiddledeedee 2” fibre art; Tom Humphries for his painting “Winter Dreaming”; and Mile Murtanovski for his painting “Furious Blunder.” Honourable mentions went to: Rosemary Brown for

her painting “Abstract #1401”; Jeanne Campbell for her painting “Amalfi”; Florence Chik-Lau for her sculpture “Nine to Five”; Sharon Fox Cranston for her painting “Wild IV”; and Claudia Jean McCabe for her painting “A Love Affair.” The show received 129 submissions from 79 artists with 112 being selected for the exhibition. The show ended on Sun-

day, July 13 after a 17-day run in the Lipson Room above Books & Company with 25 per cent of the 112 works of art selling. Since its beginning in 1993, Art in the County has grown in both stature and scope and is now seen as a premier art show in Eastern Ontario, featuring the finest Prince Edward County artists and artisans.

From spring to fall the county is overrun with wild flowering plants, and if you walk the woodlands, the roadsides and the shoreline, it is hard to miss their profusion. The lilacs, flowering old apple trees and the lilies remaining beside old homesteads by the United Empire Loyalists are also eye catching but are, of course, not native plants. A number of the other flowering plants in the wild are not native either. Some native Canadian plants like echinacea, or coneflowers are now such a part of nursery displays with their many cultivars it is easy to forget that the original species began in this part of the world. Monarda or bergamot is another example. Chicory which is often viewed as a native plant as it grows along our roadsides is originally native to Europe but grows wild in Canada. Many local gardens, even when the intent is not to focus on plants from specific areas, may contain native plants or their cultivars. One advantage of either a fully native or partially native plant type of garden is their attraction for native fauna - be they as spectacular as butterflies, or lesser contributors to the beauty of the garden such as dragonflies, damsel flies and other bene-

ficial insects. They all are far less interested in plants that originated in other parts of the world than they are in native species. Native plants are also less likely to be significantly invasive which perhaps matters less if you have an in-town garden, but for those of us who border woodlands or wetlands invasiveness is a more serious consideration. Given that we are part of the migration corridor for monarch butterflies, more people are now considering planting milkweed. If there is already milkweed growing in your area, Joe Pye Weed

(Eupatorium purpureum) is another striking native plant to grow that also attracts butterflies. It can grow into a tall wide plant of up to four and a half meters in height and width but there is also a smaller cultivar. The plant develops spectacular scented soft pink flat flower heads that last from late summer until the first heavy frosts. It does well in full sun but can also tolerate light shade and it prefers a moist soil. Other native plants that transfer well to the garden are: n Canada anemone (Anemone canadensis), which can be seen along the edges of the county fields and roads. It blooms from midspring through early summer and likes full sun. The leaves are large and deeply incised. The flowers are strikingly white with five petals. The size ranges from 30 to 60 centimetres in height and about 30 centimetres in width. n Wild geranium (Geranium maculata), which grows in the shade. It has bright pink flowers with four petals in the spring. The plant is about the same height as a Canada anemone. n Beardtongue (Penstemon digitalis ‘Husker Red) - 45 to 60 centimetres high. It has white tubular flowers

stretched along a stem. The ‘Husker Red’ variety is a cultivar with bronze red leaves. This plant attracts humming birds. Some consider it a native version of foxglove even though it is a different genus. n Sneezeweed (Helenium autumnale), which is seen frequently in gardens and growers are often unaware of its native plant status. It is a tall, up to 120 centimetres. The flowers are daisy-like and a deep russet red. The flowers appear in midsummer and last until early fall. Sneezeweed likes full sun. n Black snakeroot (Cimifuga ramosa), which is a tall dramatic plant for a shady (partial to full shade) garden. It prefers moist soil. It can grow up to 180 centimetres high and 150 centimetres. wide. It has long white flower stalks from mid-summer to fall. It is said to repel bugs and will certainly repel people if used as a cut flower in the house. n All species of coreopsis, which originated in North and Central America but can be difficult to determine from the literature exactly where some of the species began. To make it even more confusing many of the common names are applied to more than one species depending on who is doing the labeling. The unsurprising aspect is the extent to which they are extolled by various writers with everyone praising one or more species. The common names are tickseed, lance leaved coreopsis, threadleaf tickseed, butter daisy and so on. The Latin names are Coreopsis lanceolota, C. verticillate and C. tripteris. I am not going into the details of each of them. They all bloom for a good part of the summer with no one species covering the whole summer. The yellow daisy like flowers vary from a soft yellow to clear gold to bright yellow depending on the cultivar. They all prefer full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. As to size, they vary from being one of the tallest perennials listed to one of the shortest. Flower sizes are not quite as dramatic varying from one-and-ahalf centimetres to six centimetres. So it would appear that most gardens already contain more than a single Canadian native plant and most likely more than one that originated in Ontario. Without sacrificing overall design plans, it would also be easy to increase the content by another plants or two that can be similarly designated. Given that the local fauna might do better with such a change it may be worth giving it a try. Certainly some County gardens contain nothing but native plants. As Marie Rodale stated “Native plants tend to shelter native birds and animals” and are thus an important adjunct to any garden. She adds that all plants are native to this earth.

New Del-Gatto Riesling pairs nicely with Fifth Town cheeses

What a beautiful day it was for a drive in the county last Saturday. For the first time I didn't have a plan on what winery to go to so i just put down the top and went for a drive. I haven't been in the eastern part of the county for awhile and remember getting an email from DelGatto Estates that their new Riesling was being released and everyone knows I do enjoy a good Riesling! So I headed down to Cape Vessey for a sip. When I arrived at the winery I was told that the owners (Pat and Heidi DelGatto) were just down the road doing a wine and cheese tasting at Fifth Town Cheese. Naturally I headed over. The Fifth Town Artisan Cheese Company is privately owned, environmentally and socially responsible enterprise producing fine hand made cheeses using fresh, locally produced goat and sheep milk. The wine and cheese tasting was being held in their (Re)Source Pavilion located just outside the main building. When I arrived Heidi was just finishing pouring the last wine they were pairing while Pat described the wine and Fifth Town owner Patricia Bertozzi was explaining why her cheese paired so well with it. The pavilion was packed and talking to people afterwards it was evident that they thoroughly enjoyed the experience. How could they not? It's wine and cheese. Although I got there as the tasting was just finishing Pat found some Riesling for me and Bertozzi was kind enough to get me some of the cheese she was pairing with that particular wine. The Riesling was produced using locally grown grapes and had a great bouquet of lemon and there were hints of peach and apricot. It was a dry Riesling (which I prefer) and it was paired with a dill weed and lemon chevre. This is a fresh, creamy, lactic goat milk cheese with fresh lemon zest and dried dill weed. And let me tell you it was an awesome pairing! I would recommend everyone to check their website to see when the next pairing will be; it's a great experience to learn a little bit and who doesn't like wine and cheese? As I was leaving Fifth Town, Pat Del-Gatto mentioned that there was a new winery that just opened that day. In fact, the winery shares a border with Fifth Town, so I had to stop by. Cape Vineyards had just opened their doors for the first time just a few hours previously and owner/winemaker Michael Lewis proudly showed off his wines to me ... but more on him and his story next week. I then headed to Lacey Estates Winery as I received an e-mail a couple weeks ago that their new GewĂźrztraminer was being released. It may not be a household name, but GewĂźrztraminer is a grape that once tasted isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t easily

Sippinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in the county

JOE HACHE forgotten. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tremendously fragrant, with an intense aroma that reminds me of roses, lychee nuts and spices like clove and allspice. The reason I like this wine is that I love Thai food

and this particular varietal is an absolute perfect match for that spicy dish I enjoy. This release did not disappoint and I look forward to trying it with one of my favourite Thai dishes! I finished the day at TerraCello sipping some wine on the patio as I enjoyed live music, pizza and meeting people from both Ottawa and Toronto. That's one of the nice things about getting out on a nice sunny day and seeing the county. There are lots of wineries now serving food and providing entertainment while you taste their wines. And you get to meet some very interesting people who love visiting the county and they keep reminding you how lucky we are to live here.

It's supposed to nice again this coming weekend (although most wineries are open week long now during the summer) and again there are many events happening. A couple I will be attending are the ones taking place at Sandbanks Winery (a food fair with local food trucks and vendors) and Keint-He Winery (where there will be live pop, folk and blue's music). Check my web site for timings and even more events! -Joe Hache maintains an independent guide to local wineries at www.princeedwardcountywineries.com.

Friendly visits offer a sense of security

Sometimes we call the program â&#x20AC;&#x153;friendly visitingâ&#x20AC;? but what it really is â&#x20AC;&#x201C; friends helping friends. This program is for seniors and the purpose is to reduce the risk of depression and loneliness. Participation also provides a sense of security for seniors so they may be able to live in a home environment in reasonable independence. The services offered through the friendly visiting program are tailored to meet the needs of the person. After talking to one of our staff members, the client and volunteer are carefully matched so that their interests fit together and there is a good chance that a positive relationship will develop.Â Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a listing of the kinds of things that the volunteer and client might decide to do: Visiting - The volunteer will visit a minimum of once each week to offer some social interaction.Â The volunteer and client may choose to play a game such as chess, go for a walk, share a hobby or simply share in conversation.Â Telephone contact - The volunteer can make weekly calls to check on the individual and share in some conversation.Â Community Care also offers a â&#x20AC;&#x153;telephone reassuranceâ&#x20AC;? program where a volunteer makes a daily 5 minute phone call. Errands - If the client is unable to, or finds it difficult to do their own personal shopping, etc. a volunteer may do these errands for them if desired. This service can include delivery of library books. Out and about - If the client enjoys social excursions such as movies, leisurely drives or walks, sports and hobby events; is somewhat isolated; has just moved to the area; or finds transportation a problem; they may be interested in this service.Â â&#x20AC;&#x2DC; If desired, a volunteer

There is also an elderly world traveller who is waiting for just the right volunteer to share his stories with. We need more volunteers to do this important work.Â If you think you might be interested please call our office and talk to a co-ordinator about the friendly visiting program.Â If you have some time you can give to volunteering but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not sure whether visiting is an activity that is for you, call us anyway.Â We have many oppor-

Camp Picton doubles for secret spy training centre in new documentary The History Channel shines spotlight on Whitby-based Second World War intelligence camp that helped lead to development of CIA AdAm BrAmBurger Staff writer

Prince Edward County viewers flipping onto The History Channel this week may have recognized the scenery in a feature twohour documentary showing one of Canada's best-kept secrets from the Second World War. On Monday, the network showed the premiere of Yap Films' presentation Camp X: Secret Agent School, a piece

that examined a secret complex British Intelligence officials built near Whitby to train Canadian and American spies with espionage secrets they felt would win the war. It also would provide one of the few direct links between the British and Americans at a time in the war when the United States was officially on the sidelines due to the Neutrality Act. Supervising producer

tary itself noting the Allied forces were looking for "PhDs who also had the ability to win a bar fight." Bicknell said a catalyst for the documentary was the declassification of the 500page archives, which is now available to read at The National Archives in the United Kingdom. David O'Keefe, a historian connected with the production company went to the archives and upon reading the manual, convinced his cohorts the story was something that needed to be told. According to Bicknell, the producers decided that they wanted to have the stories of Camp X told in the first person. Given that many veterans of the Second World War

Robin Bicknell said the camp had far-reaching impacts. "Most people don't realize that Camp X, on Canadian soil, was the birthplace of the CIA," she said. "Without this camp, the Office of Strategic Services wouldn't have build the specialized training camps it didâ&#x20AC;Ś those people who built the CIA, they all started here at Camp X." The camp opened within days of the bombing of Pearl Harbour and the majority of its training was found within a top-secret manual written specifically for the attendees at the camp â&#x20AC;&#x201D; people that had to pass lofty expectations to attend, with the documen-

Terry Culbert, Chair of Art in the County, wishes to thank everyone for making the 21st year a very successful show.

The largest juried art show and sale in Eastern Ontario would not be possible without the support of the Prince Edward County Arts Council. It would not be possible without the hard work and dedication of its committee members, the dozens and dozens of volunteers, the sponsors, patrons and donors, the artists and the nearly 2000 visitors that attended the 2014 Art in the County show held on the second floor of Books & Co. in Picton.

were passing away, it made the impetus to get a documentary to the screen much more pressing. "The stories are endless. Stories about war, about spies, and about Camp X itself could go on and on, but we wanted to speak with the veterans who are still with us," Bicknell said. "We wanted to have people still with us tell their own stories. That automatically limits what we can do as so many of them are no longer with us." The presentation airing on The History Channel mixed in those stirring firsthand anecdotes from agents who attended the camp, with an archaeological excavation of the site led by Dr. Ron Williamson. All of Camp X, including a specialized communications centre dubbed Hydra that could pick up code from Europe, was bulldozed and destroyed in the late 1960s. The site is now dubbed Intrepid Park and includes a monument with the flags of the nations involved â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Canada, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Bermuda, where Camp X's founder, Sir William Stephenson, died. That is where Picton's tiein to this story starts. Bicknell directed dramatic recreations of the stories the veterans were telling to add an element of action and suspense to the movie. When she realized that Camp X wasn't standing, she began looking for military installations from the Second World War where similar barracks and camps stood. She noticed Loch Sloy Holdings, formerly Camp Picton, was one of the few bases from that era that is still in tact and in working order.

"So many of them have been torn down or are in the process of being torn down," Bicknell said. "With a period piece, we really hoped we could find buildings identical to those at Camp X." Not only did Loch Sloy agree to have its buildings used in another television project, but Bicknell said they went beyond the call of duty, providing equipment like cherry pickers and scissor lifts that helped make set up for shooting much easier. Ultimately, Bickell said the company spent about a week filming at Loch Sloy and around the Picton Heights area in October last year. It also signed up a good number of extras from Prince Edward County and found the community to be quite helpful in attempts to share a piece of Canada's history. "I would come back to film in a heartbeat," she said. "The people are very helpful. There's great food, wine, and accommodations. I hope to come back again soon." Bickell says she hopes people will tune in to see an edge-of-your-seat spy story, adding that in some respects, "the truth always makes the best story." She noted there were some close calls and international intrigue in the tale she helped tell and it even had a love story. Camp X also is intertwined with the James Bond stories as its author, Ian Fleming, was said to have trained there, while some of the most famous real-world spies â&#x20AC;&#x201D; double agent Kim Philby and Soviet defector Igor Gouzenko â&#x20AC;&#x201D; also share in the story of Camp X. Given the importance of the Cold War and the CIA in the modern world, Bickell indicated she hopes the film will shed some light on a piece of Canadiana that more people should know about. "This is one of the most important pieces of Canadian history that so little is known about. It had a great impact on why the world is as it is today," she said. "I would love to see it taught in schools and become part of modern conversation of the history of Canada." Camp X: Secret Agent School will air again on The History Channel Saturday, July 19 at 7 p.m.

Murtanovski to paint 100 images to commemorate First World War Local artist aims to contrast valour and brutality of war Chad Ibbotson Staff writer

Local artist Milé Murtanovski will again tackle a daunting task for an upcoming exhibition. Having completed marathon painting sessions and other large projects in the past, this time he will focus on the First World War — specifically on the contrast between soldiers' valour and the brutality of the war. Murtanovski will be creating 100 paintings for his upcoming exhibition To the Sound of Trumpets which will open on Remembrance Day this year to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the First World War. The artist has spent more than a year immersing himself in research with particu-

lar regard to how the war impacted residents of Prince Edward County — where Murtanovski has lived for the past five years. Murtanovski said in a release he was, “struck time and again by the contrasts between the commonly held idea of valour and the brutal reality the soldiers faced,” while conducting his research. “I was drawn to investigate what the war was really like, particularly for the men in the trenches,” he said in the release. He said he wanted to treat the subject as honestly and unsentimentally as possible without being disparaging. “I’d like the viewer to get an idea of the true conditions experienced by these men and have them be seen not simply as names on a cenotaph, but as young boys whose lives were cut short or changed forever,” he said. “Even in 100 paintings I can’t come close to conveying the

magnitude of this horrific war.” The exhibition is being presented in partnership with the Museums of Prince Edward County, and will be

grouped into five sections. The first section, Dance Partners, will be a series of oil paintings featuring men's and women's footwear of the time, with all the men's

footwear depicted as army boots. The second — and largest part of the series — is called Calamity. It will consist of oil paintings representing the brutality of the war. The War at Home — the third section in the series — looks at what was happening back in Canada and in Prince Edward County. The section will feature aspects such as half-empty classrooms and women taking the lead in the country's farms and factories. The Devil's Harvest will focus on ink portraits of fallen soldiers from Prince Edward County, while the fifth section, Remembrance, reflects on the “true cost of the war.” Murtanovski will do five residencies at County museums through the duration of the project, with one painting being created at each site. The artist is encouraging the public to come out and watch his progress. Murtanovski will also be

The exhibition is slated to be open Nov. 11–30 daily from 12–4 p.m. at Macaulay Heritage Park.

Dukes alums take the ice at NHL development camps Murphy, McEachen, Gardiner, Marchment look to impress brass of world’s top hockey league to earn future opportunities JASON PARKS

Staff writer

The hockey training grounds of Wellington have helped pave the way for four alums to make appearances at NHL prospects camps last week, this week and next week. Former 52-goal man and 2011 Dudley Hewitt Cup champion Darcy Murphy headlines the quartet Dukes grads skating for National Hockey League coaching and front office staff. The other three skaters are blueliners Pat McEachen and Donovan Gardiner and power forward Jake Marchment. Wellington Dukes coach and general manager Marty Abrams was thrilled with the news that four former players that proudly wore the Wellington Duke crest would take another step towards their professional hockey dreams. “Any time you have any of your players go on to bigger and better things it makes you feel good about what you are doing and it's a feather in the cap of the organization,” Abrams told the Gazette. “These are feel good stories and reaffirms what we are here for.” Marchment came byway of his appearance at the 2014 Los Angeles Kings prospect camp in El Segundo, California last week the traditional way — by getting drafted by the NHL Stanley Cup champion franchise last month. Hopes are high in Los Angeles that the sixth rounder can one day blossom into a responsible and physical force in the Kings lineup. Kings vice-president of hockey operations and director of player personnel Michael Futa told LAK-

The current Colgate University Raider was invited as a non-drafted free agent. (albanydevils.com)

ingsinsider.com that Marchment's “compete level is at the highest level you can possible get. He plays hard. He’s in the right position all the time....There’s not one thing this kid won’t do to give himself a chance to be a player. He’s got the Marchment blood in him.” In his time in a Dukes lineup, Marchment was not required to doff the gloves that often but in 2013-2014 with the Belleville Bulls of the Ontario Hockey League, Mush scrapped eight times, impressing the Kings scouting staff. But not just a prized pugilist able to set the tone for his teammates, Marchment was one of the Eastern Conference’s best face-

off men and was counted by Bulls bench boss George Burnett to take key draws last season. “In the season he was here (2012-2013) You could see his progress and in January, he just took off,” Abrams said. He took a leap of faith by walking away from an NCAA scholarship and we are glad to see it start to pay off,” Abrams said. “With his dad Wayne a former Dukes coach, we look as this as a Dukes family accomplishment and we're thrilled.” Murphy has always had a nose for the net and showed his scoring prowess with a breakthrough season in 2011-12, potting a team record 52 goals in 48 games.

The Marysville native is attending the New Jersey Devils prospect camp in Newark, New Jersey attempting to impress Devils coach Pete Deboer and general manager Lou Lamoriello as a collegiate free agent invitee. Murphy started his junior hockey career in Trenton with the Golden Hawks in the 2009-10 season but a rift developed between he and Trenton staff. A January 2010 deadline deal that sent Murphy to the Junior C Picton Pirates helped pave the way for his eventual landing with Wellington where his career took off. “He came out of nowhere to develop into a great player and he's one of

those players stays in regular contact with the franchise,” Abrams said. . In two seasons at Colgate University in Hamilton, New York, Murphy has tallied 29 times 75 NCAA games. McEachen wasn't in the Wellington Dukes lineup beyond a single season but he made his final campaign in Junior A hockey a great one, potting 21 points in 35 games and earning a scholarship to Queen's University where he's played an integral role in that program's resurgence into the upper echelon of CIS hockey for the past four seasons. Abrams picked up McEachen through a deal with the defenceman's hometown Stouffville Spir-

Shawn Williams crushed a home run in the top of the first off Danford Contracting starter Brendan Smith and Chad Camp and Jim Blakely knocked in runs to stake the visitors to a 3-0 lead, Smith was lifted in favour of Adam Danford. Adam Danford quelled the Husker bats and allowed the Contractors to chip away at the Husker lead, which they did on Josh Danford and Shawn Young homers. The hosts would eventually move into the driver's seat at 4-3 but a Nathan

Banfield run in the top of the sixth got the game back to square. But it wouldn't stay knotted for long as venerable veteran Barry Danford had the key hit in a three run outburst in the home half of the inning. The Huskers went quietly in the top of the seventh, taking the loss and dropping their cellar dwelling record to 1-8. A tough 3-2 loss to the Napanee Jr. Express Thursday night dropped the Whitepine Watershed crew to 5-3.

A 3-1 win by the Terra Vista Rockies over the Napanee Midget Express means the Rox and Whitepine are tied for the PECMFL lead with a identical records. Danford Contracting remains hot on their heels with a 4-2-1 mark while the Ameliasburgh A's are at 23. Roblin's Family Plumbing is at 2-7-1. In action in Picton tonight, the A's take on Terra Vista at 7 p.m.while the Beatty Seeds and Roblin's battle at 8:30 p.m.

Terra Vista, Whitepine tied atop fastball league Beatty Seeds can’t capitalize on early lead in Frankford

JASON PARKS

Staff writer

The Beatty Seeds Huskers got the start they wanted Tuesday night in Frankford but a great start didn't equate into the Prince Edward County Men's Fastball League defending champion's second win of the season. After leadoff batter

it, a signature deal. “Stouffville was looking at a rebuild and Pat wanted to come to Wellington and play for a contender,” Abrams said. “He was great well he was here-a perfect gentleman and he and his parents have stayed in contact with us.” McEachen will be in Raleigh, North Carolina next week skating for the Carolina Hurricanes. “Have skates, will travel” is the hockey credo by which Gardiner seems to live his life. The Sterling Heights, Michigan native started his Junior Hockey career in 2009-10 in Carlton Place, playing with the Canadians of the Central Canada Junior A loop. Gardiner would then start his way back home, splitting the next seasons with the Canadians and the Kemptville 73's. He would start the 201112 season in Wellington and suit up for 19 games before a mid-season deal would see him off to Hamilton to finish off the season with the Red Wings. From there, Gardiner has racked up frequent flier miles, playing for Kalamazoo, Janesville (NY) and the Fort Worth Brahmas in the North American Hockey League and, most recently, the Tri-City Storm of the United States Hockey League. All of this led to Gardiner being invited to the New York Islanders Minicamp last weekend on Long Island, New York. “Donovan is of those guys that just wants to be a hockey player. He's travelled a ton to make his dream happen and to attain one of these invites, they are not easy to come by,” Abrams said.

hopeful Information suppled by Citizenship and

Immigration Canada to the Gazette has Dave and Jennifer Williams cautiously optimistic they and baby Gwenivere may be together on Canadian soil. (Submitted photo)

Canada working to make family reunification easier through visa changes Williams family cautiously optimistic with direction AdAm BrAmBurger Staff writer

After sharing their frustrations with Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) in last week’s Gazette, Jennifer and David Williams are hopeful their family may be able to stay together on Canadian soil soon. While the couple still is unsure about the potential for David to either a visitor’s visa or a permanent residency visa here, they were encouraged by comments sent to the Gazette by CIC communications advisor Johanne Nadeau. While she would not speak to specific cases, Nadeau indicated that situations like Dave Williams’ application for a visitor visa going unprocessed are not common occurrences. Nadeau said Canada is actually looking to make it easier to facilitate visitors’ travel to this country. “CIC strives to issue visas as quickly as possible to facilitate travel for genuine visitors, business people, tourists, international students and families — and benefit from the economic spinoff they bring to Canada.” She indicated that in recent years, CIC has been working on several changes that make it easier for qualified applicants to secure access to the country. One of those changes is the acceptance of online applications for temporary residents through the web site www.cic.gc.ca. Another convenience is the issueing of multipleentry visa which would allow qualified visitors to come and go for six months at a time for up to 10 years without having to reapply. She noted online or not visa applications must be competed fully with all the necessary questions on the application form filled out and all the necessary documents submitted in order for the application to be processed. Nadeau also indicated that foreign nationals are able to apply more than once for a visitor’s visa. With regard to the long wait for permanent residen-

cy — up to 25 months for an immigrant coming from Williams’ native Jamaica — Nadeau noted that Canada has welcomed its highest sustained levels of immigration since 2006 with an average of 257,000 newcomers a year. With that many people coming through having credentials to be checked, it can surely be a timely process. Nadeau indicated, however, that family reunification as the Williams are seeking is a prime consideration the CIC considers. “Family reunification is an integral part of our immigration program,” she said. “Canada has one of the most generous family reunification programs in the world. We admit more family members than most developed countries.” Two years after it launched some reforms called the Action Plan For Faster Family Reunification, Nadeau says the backlog of people waiting has been reduced by about 50 per cent. Without action, the backlog would grow to 250,000 people with wait times of 15 years by 2015. She said in 2012 and 2013 alone, more than 50,000 parents and grandparents were welcomed to Canada as permanent residents with an additional 20,000 expected to come this year. Nadeau said processing times for spouse-supported applications vary over time depending on where the spouse is living, the number of applications received, complexity of the case, and applicants’ responses to questions. Those applying for permanent residence can also apply for visitor’s visas at the same time, provided they can demonstrate ability to support themselves, sufficient ties to their home country, and reason to believe they will leave when their visa expires if they have not received permanent residency. Williams said she is hopeful after reading Nadeau’s emailed text. “Thats great information and makes us feel hopeful that we will get approved! we dont want to get our hopes again though,” she said. “We plan to go to the visa application centre to ask for their advice and ask them what all we need to include in the application.”

H O R O S C O P E S

ARIES (Mar 21/Apr 20) Be honest with yourself, Aries. Sometimes change can be a good thing, so take a few days to sort through all of your options. You will be glad you did. TAURUS (Apr 21/May 21) Taurus, you may have to be clever to solve a particular problem this week. It will be challenging, but you are up to the task and your efforts will be their own reward. GEMINI (May 22/Jun 21) Gemini, spend some time thinking about what you want rather than what others want for you. You may discover significant differences between the two, but do what makes you happy. CANCER (Jun 22/Jul 22) Cancer, it may take some time to get back on your feet after a stumble, but you will get there much faster if you ask a few friends for support. You know the people who have your back. LEO (Jul 23/Aug 23) Leo, very little can disappoint you or affect your mood. Enjoy the responsibility-free week with a free spirit. This is a great time for a vacation. VIRGO (Aug 24/Sept 22) Think through all of your options before you act, Virgo. While something may seem like a good idea at first, careful thought may reveal some bumps in the road.

LIBRA (Sept 23/Oct 23) Work hard to earn a promotion at work, Libra. While you may need to take on more responsibility and work longer hours, the payoff will be well worth it. SCORPIO (Oct 24/Nov 22) Scorpio, if you feel you are at a crossroads, take your time to make the best possible decision. This is a significant moment for you, and it requires focus and forethought. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23/Dec 21) Sagittarius, supporting a family member who deserves it has you riding high this week. This support may be emotional in nature or even financial support if you can manage. CAPRICORN (Dec 22/Jan 20) Capricorn, family activities are getting in the way of business prospects, and vice versa. You may need to make a difficult decision in the near future. AQUARIUS (Jan 21/Feb 18) Aquarius, think through the pros and cons of speaking your mind at work. Your opinions are valid, but you run the risk of alienating certain people, and that should not be taken lightly. PISCES (Feb 19/Mar 20) Approach a problem that's been puzzling you from a different perspective, Pisces. This new way of looking at things makes all the difference.

LAST WEEK’S ANSWER

BELIEVE IT? How do Canadians know if it’s true (or not)? They turn to the trusted source: Newspapers in print, online, tablet and phone. And, research finds that they trust the ads there too – more than those in any other medium. Be where Canadians look.

County’s last hanging trial in balance again

THURSDAY, JULY 17, 2014

Re-enactment encourages public to consider facts of ill-fated 1883 murder convictions AdAm BrAmBurger Staff writer

It was much as it was in May of 1884, albeit there wasn’t quite as much vitriol in the air Friday afternoon. Nary a seat was available in the Picton courthouse as those who filed in were seeking justice in the murder trial of Joseph Thomset and George Lowder, the men accused of the murder of Peter Lazier Dec. 21, 1883. Now, in 2014 as part of a fundraiser for the John A Macdonald project, the crowd was looking to see if the jury of the day got it right based on the information provided. Justice Richard Sharpe, who wrote a case study on the trial wrote a dramatic recreation for them to experience the event for themselves. Back in 1883, as Justice Richard Byers noted while playing the character of thenmayor Edwards Merrill Prince Edward County had been a “peaceful community” and the citizens were stirred into a frenzy at the idea of a murder happening here. They wanted vengeance and were not afraid to share their opinions that the two men were guilty. The basic facts in the case suggest that Bloomfield Quaker and farmer Gilbert Jones went to the train station earlier in the day to sell some hops and he returned home with a substantial $555 payment. That night, his nephew Peter Lazier was staying over at his house and he spent time talking with Jones’s wife Margaret and one of their workers Wallace until about 10 p.m. when they retired to their bedrooms. Upon going to bed, Margaret Jones heard a loud rap at the door and went to answer it, only to find two men — one, a taller man, was wearing a mask and carrying a pistol. The other had a mask over his face, had a thick beard, and carried a shotgun. Lazier confronted the men and later Gilbert Jones joined in the skirmish with an unloaded shotgun. During the altercation, the masked man was said to have shot Lazier dead. Merrill explained the case was a question of the identity of the killers. There was no evidence of a weapon left behind and the case was built primarily on trails in the snow made by the soles of boots. Presiding Judge Christopher Patterson (played by Sharpe) told the 12-person jury as well as the audience that the prosecution had to satisfy them beyond a reasonable doubt about who committed the crimes. Cheered by the audience, Belleville area prosecutor Roger Clute (Patrick Hurley) called Gilbert Jones (Philip Knox) and Margaret Jones (Elizabeth McIntyre) as witnesses. Jones noted that he did

not notice suspect Thomset at the station that afternoon, despite the word of another witness he saw the amount paid for the hops, establishing motive. Defence counsel Dalton McCarthy (William McDowell), a Conservative MP at the time, was met with a hostile response to his courtroom tactics. With Margaret Jones on the stand, McCarthy made some of his keenest observations, noting that she had changed her thoughts on the identity of the men. In December, she thought the men who robbed her were bigger than the accused. Then, she felt Lowder had a dark, thick beard and by trial, she noted that his beard was likely a fake. “I hadn’t had a chance to think things through clearly at the time,” she said. “I think I miscalculated their size and weight.” McCarthy suggested that Belleville police chief Hugh McKinnon likely helped her “remember” the details she swore in court. He also managed to raise questions about McKinnon’s actions, namely about the tracks in the snow. McKinnon admitted that no man was able to trace the tracks all the way from the Jones home to the homes of the accused, five miles away in West Lake. Instead of using a calliper or ruler to measure the books, McKinnon (played by James Hurst) indicated he used his keen eye and his 19 years of policing experience to determine the boots were a match with those taken from Thomset at the time of his arrest and those patchwork boots taken from George Lowder’s home. Despite knowing instructions not to, McKinnon placed the boots in the actual tracks to confirm the match. “I know a few things not written in the books, “ he said. McKinnon also testified to bringing a forged letter to the Thomset house to try to secure evidence, such as the murder weapon, yet coming away empty handed. Other evidence, shared by Merrill, suggested that only a man who feuded with Thomset was able to link the tracks to his home. The two suspects also had alibi evidence that placed them elsewhere at 10 p.m. however some of the times from Mrs. Lowder didn’t seem to add up before the court. In his closing McCarthy said it would be criminal to judge the men hastily and send them to their death. He noted there was enough doubt about the size and identity of the man and the notion that Lowder was clean shaven that night and at his committal. “This mob wants these men to die because someone must die. I say not these men,” he concluded, noting there was no identity proven and no trail linking the footprints in the snow.

not guilty Accused murders Joseph Thomset (Julian Warrick), left, and George Lowder (Matt Mercer) take turns reading letters at the tail end of Friday’s dramatization. Both men indicated they weren’t guilty of the murder of Peter Lazier, which they were sentenced to hang for in the summer of 1884. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

Philip Knox took the stand in place of the Bloomfield couple that was robbed Dec. 21, 1883. Their house guest Peter Lazier was ultimately murdered. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

For his part, Clute said the jury must consider circumstantial evidence as well as the direct evidence from witnesses on the stands. Without it, he said few cases would prove fruitful and anarchy would prevail. He said that alibis are the “last refuge of the scoundrel” and felt the tracks and Thomset’s motive were enough to demonstrate his guilt. He also noted the men went to Jones’s house with the specific intent to do harm. Patterson instructed the jury they must use all the evidence available to them and weigh it with their common sense. He also noted that if two people go together with the intent to commit a crime, they are both guilty of one under the law of the day. Ultimately, the jury unan-

imously decided to convict the men to hang, despite their dying words. The words were delivered by letter as the men were not put on the stand as the right to silence and presumption of innocence were key judicial concepts at the time, according to materials Sharpe studied in preparing the drama. Thomset wrote to his mother, wife, and young daughter noting “I’m ready to die, but I die for something I never did. I never was in Jones’s house and never saw him getting money at the station,” he said. “Mrs. Jones swore the man was larger than me, then at trial I looked just like the man... Thank God I was never there to fire any shot, I cannot confess to that crime and never will. I die an innocent man.”

concerned oBserver Then-mayor and experienced lawyer Edwards Merrill (Justice Richard Byers) expressed his concern that mob rule overtook the proper application of justice. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

not forgotten These two trees are said to have been planted in the yard at the Picton courthouse to commemorate the hanging deaths of Thomset and Lowder on June 10, 1884. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

Lowder wrote to the inhabitants of the county, also declaring innocence. “God as my witness, I am innocent. I die willing to strike no malice against anyone. I do not die a murder nor with a murderer’s heart. I was not in Mr. Gilbert Jones’ house nor on his premises in my life to my knowledge.” The visitors to Friday’s trial received a ballot about whether they’d agree with the verdict presented and many indicated to the Gazette they’d be turning in “not guilty” verdicts when arriving at the Waring House for a reception that night. Merrill wrote to prime minister John A. Macdonald , the governor general, and others, noting he felt mob rule overwhelmed the facts in the case and there was reasonable doubt as to the men’s

guilt. Word ultimately came from Ottawa, ordering “the law should be allowed to take its course.” The men were hanged June 10, 1884 in a yard behind the courthouse. The execution was bungled and the prisoners suffered greatly. Their necks weren’t broken and they dangled alive until they died. Their masks came off and their blue faces could be seen. Lowder lived for five minutes, Thomset for 14. Both men were buried face down below the gallows. Lowder was later moved to Glenwood Cemetery, where a monument proclaims he was hanged unjustly. They were the last men hanged in Prince Edward County and years later, there still remains doubt whether they should have been.

Council to consider Anglican diocese’s donation of fairgrounds land Staff to make recommendations consider 2.5-acre Milford plot Chad Ibbotson Staff writer

Council will consider accepting a 2.5-acre land donation from the Anglican diocese and the Parish of Marysburgh at their regular meeting on Tuesday. Resident Monica Alyea spoke to councillors at a July 10 committee-of-thewhole meeting, asking them to consider accepting the donation. The committee voted to have staff come forward with a report and recommendations to the July 22 council meeting. The land consists of a section beside and behind Mount Tabor, and is already used for various community events, including the Milford Fair. The diocese has been looking to sell the existing rectory and would like to preserve the historical uses of the property. “All of this space is taken care of, the grass is currently mowed by the municipality and the taxes on the rectory and of the land is returned by the municipality,” said Alyea. “It's paid, but it's returned.” She said the diocese

wanted to donate the land that is normally used for community events, “to maintain the integrity and community partnership of the long identified South Marysburgh recreation centre space.” She said that partnership goes back at least 75 years because the Milford Fair is that old, but she said she believes the partnership could back close to 100 years. “It's got a long history,” she said. She reiterated the space is used throughout the year for events like the Milford Winter Carnival, annual Easter parade and egg hunt, and for summer activities like baseball. She said many smaller groups also use the space. Alyea said although initially it was believed a severance was needed to gift the property, that's no longer the case. “We don't need a severance so that will speed things along,” she said. She said the diocese is proceeding with their “real estate undertakings.” Alyea said she believes the diocese is being very

kind with the donation and believes the municipality should agree to reimburse all costs. “The diocese is being extremely generous in this land grant and whatever the costs are relative to surveying and legal should be picked up by the taxpayers in return for this piece of land,” she said. “I don't know what that is, but my guess is it's probably under $4,000.” Alyea said the diocese, parish, South Marysburgh recreation committee, Milford Fair Board, and the Marysburgh Mummers each have an interest in seeing the use of the land preserved for the future.

Lloyst tells councillors about five-step approval process for hospital Foundation expects to learn about first step by end of fiscal year Chad Ibbotson

StAff writer

Hospital foundation officials presented the first promised bi-monthly update to County councillors at last week's

committee-of-the-whole meeting. Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation interim director of development Hazel Lloyst gave

the update on the drive for a new hospital, and on the foundation's activities. She said she recently spent a day in Prince Edward County, travelling through various events. She said she was surprised to pass by the hospital just once — illustrating the importance of having a County hospital. “It made me realize how important it is to everyone in the county that we have a hospital here,” she said. She said there is a commitment from six partners — the Quinte Healthcare Corporation, the Prince Edward Family Health Team, the South East Local Health Integration Network, the hospital foundation, the hospital auxiliary, and the municipality. “We're absolutely thrilled about that (but) it's going to take a while,” she said. “First of all, we have to go through the five steps of the approval process. Hopefully we will know by the end of the year — which is April for us — whether or not we've passed the first step.” She said following the five steps the foundation and partners would initiate a capital campaign. Since the six partners announced in May they would make a push for a new hospital, two teams — a working group and a steering team — have been

formed to develop a new hospital plan and to guide the project through the Ministry of Health's capital development process. In the meantime, Lloyst said the County can help the hospital foundation by allowing the foundation to put inserts into the municipal mail-outs. “One of the major costs to the foundation is a mail-out,”

she said. “When we do a mail drop to 12,000 residents in this community, we're looking at a cost of about $5,000 for a newsletter. So it's something that council may want to consider, allowing us to piggyback on things that they're already mailing out.” The next progress update is scheduled for early September.

“You Can Rely On Our Service”

MPP Smith still opposed to budget

Ontario’s Liberal Party may have earned the right to pass its budget by earning a majority June 12, but opposition parties still remain strongly opposed to the document presented. On Monday, Premier Kathleen Wynne and finance minister Charles Sousa introduced the exact same budget that caused the NDP to trigger an election May 2. Prince Edward-Hastings MPP Todd Smith was among those not amused by the move the government made. While earlier this month, Moody’s downgraded Ontario’s credit outlook from stable to negative, the Liberal plan still calls for increased spending to stimulate the economy and it maintains a $12.5 billion deficit forecast. “This isn’t a budget, it is a wish list,” said Smith. “A promise to spend money we don’t have on things we can’t afford and avoid tough choices that responsible governments have to make.” Smith noted, however, that eventually the bill will come due and Ontario’s lenders will collect what they are owed. In the meantime, the province will see record deficit, debt, and interest payments, he said. The former critic for small business and jobs creation also highlighted one particular plank introduced in the budget he saw as a negative and that’s Wynne’s plan to have a mandatory Ontario pension with contributions starting in 2017. Each worker is expected to contribute between $500 and $1,000 a year. Smith called the program a “payroll tax” and he said even the finance ministry’s own staff said the plan will cost up to 150,000 jobs. “It’s an economic gut punch our small businesses don’t need,” he said. -Adam Bramburger, Staff

Cattlemen eye cancer support group to benefit from future fundraisers

SUPPORT, from page 1

Cattlemen member Dr. John Hancock had a conversation with Kempers about her job providing specialized wound care to patients with diabetes and vascular issues and when having that conversation, he felt his organization could help make life easier for her and those patients. “I was unaware of this clinic and the services that were provided by Sylvia and her co-worker,” Hancock said. “I was also intrigued to find out that as with many health-care issues today, access for some patients to services like these are limited by case load, equipment, and facilities.” Kempers attended a meeting of the Cattlemen and once they understood the needs, they were pleased to assist. In a release, the PEFHT noted the clinic is producing successful results for hundreds of county residents. One woman cited was diagnosed with cancer in the 1970s and she had lymph tissues removed. Soon after, her leg began to swell. By the 1990s, she could no longer work due to pain and swelling. Eventually, she could no longer walk, garden, or get out of vehicles without great difficulty. She could not even weawr normal footware and at one point asked to have her leg amputated. Now under the care of the clinic, her leg has reduced in size by as much as five inches. She is walking short distances and taking less medication. There is hope she can one day use a normal compression garment she can manage herself. A second patient was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Three years ago, he got a scratch on his calf that didn’t heal and eventually, several wounds developed. Tests showed he had less than 10 per cent circulation in his leg and he had to undergo successful femoral artery bypass surgery. Despite the success, the wounds did not heal. He experienced pain and fear as he visited a number of specialists trying to control the infection and health the wounds before coming under the care of the PEFHT clinic in Wellington. After months of intenstive care with Kempers, he is free of infection. The man said he’s confident without the diligent care he received, he’d be missing toes, feet, or even his legs through amputation. The partnership follows

on a successful drive by the Cattlemen to help the PEFHT establish a cardiac rehab program in the community, complete with a gym to keep participants active. Last year, the Cattlemen followed up on their original investment in that clinic by purchasing resources for it. In addition to its recent foray into health-care fundraising, the organization has also been busy working with agricultureand youth-related initiatives. Other expenditures in the past year included support for electrical upgrades at the cattle barn, support for the local 4-H beef club to participate in the Royal Winter Fair, money for a generator to help the 4-H milkshake booth travel to more locations, and the financing of a steer for 4H members to raise and learn from leading up to this year’s steer show at the county fair. Hancock indicated the Cattlemen are busy preparing for their next big fundraiser, which is a dinner at the Wellington and District Community Centre July 26. The $35 per plate prime rib feast will allow the Cattlemen to support a number of community initiatives, possibly including another rare health-related initiative. According to Hancock, Ameliasburgh native Teresa Bell has started a chapter of the Fight Back Crew, a support organization that helps adults 18-40 who have been diagnosed with cancer to stay active and find community. He indicated the program helps to fight isolation and fills a void as many support groups are geared to older patients. “I don’t think there’s really anything like this elsewhere in Ontario outside of the big cities,” Hancock said of the group. He indicated Bell would be invited to the dinner. There, she could show a trailer of a documentary about the group and provide more information to the community. The dinner, which is being sponsored by Deerhaven, Aman’s Abattoir, and Picton Farm Supply this year is open to the public. For ticket information, please call Hancock at 613-399-3490 or talk to any member of the Cattlemen.

Guild members show high quality standard in quilt show entries

SHOW, from page 3

Guild president Maggie Goode said she was quite impressed by the work local quilters turned in for judging this time around. Taking a final inventory before volunteers took their displays down Sunday afternoon, she felt the entrants gave guests good value for $6 . “I’m impressed by the number of high-quality quilts on display,” she said. “The standard of work was excellent. It’s one of the best shows in the area and we’re really happy with it.” Goode indicated that while there may not be as many quilters in the county as there are in larger centres, those who do quilt are constantly working to better themselves and their entries. Co-orgainzer Deelia Evans added members staffing the boutique reported brisk sales from their Christmas, children’s and general mercantile displays and every vendor that she talked to expressed satisfaction with the amount of traffic they received. For many, however, the focus was on the work itself and that allowed the guild to hand out some special awards for the weekend. Anne House won the best-in-show award ribbon from the Canadian Quilter’s Association for a red-andwhite stars challenge quilt, which also won the guild’s

in-house challenge. Meanwhile, Vicky LaFleur captured the ribbon for viewer’s choice quilt with A Classy Whig, a beige, green, yellow, and crimson floral pattern that was made with hand-quilted applique. Anne Longston took the viewer’s choice award for wallhangings with Haida Spirit featuring a red sun on a black background with black Haida art animals striking overlapping the red area. The bi-annual show was also the venue for the guild to give away its hand-quilted raffle quilt Flower Box. Betty McLelland had her ticket pulled to win the piece, which is the culmination of hundreds of hours of work on behalf of several members. McLelland said it was a neat experience to win the quilt because she knew many of the quilters who created it and, in fact, when she had a craft shop in Bloomfield, she sold supplies to them. “I had a craft shop in Bloomfield and I did everything but quilting,” she said. “I know a lot of the ladies who made this quilt.” McLelland said she felt the colours in the quilt could go with almost anything and she indicated she felt she was getting a piece that clearly shows it is the product of a lot of creativity and talent. Goode also enthused that the guild also received several expressions of interest in membership last weekend.
