New direction aims to give municipal officials a broader view of the issues

County eyes new approach to engage public Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

A new approach to citizen engagement that will look to draw more heavily on the experience and knowledge of residents and, ultimately, lead to a more informed decision-making process appears to be on its way. Committee of the whole approved the new program, titled “Resident Resources, A New Approach to Citizen Engagement,” which will allow citizens the opportunity to participate in a variety of discussions and has been designed to raise the level of residents actively involved in the democratic process. The implementation and maintenance of the new program will be managed by the clerk's department. The approach will still have to be approved by council at their July 24 meeting. Mayor Peter Mertens said the new approach will give the municipality an opportunity to get a broader view on issues. “Often there are many people who want to contribute to a specific thing or to a specific area that we're looking at, but they're really not able to or want to commit to being on a committee

that has regular meetings and has that type of responsibilities,” he said. “Having a specific item and having a meeting to discuss that specific item and get input into that item is attractive to many people.” Mertens said the municipality would welcome residents with specific knowledge bases as well as those who have a general interest in contributing. He said the overall goal would be for the municipality to have a large pool of citizen resources that it can draw from when there is a need for public input. “People that are interested as individuals in giving us their name and giving us a bit of a bio or a little of their background or just expressing their interest, we would keep that in a database,” he said. “If a particular issue or, for that matter, even a general topic came up we would put out a call for a select number of people and go from there.” That pool would be a resource for the municipality to draw on for participation in working groups, focus groups, surveys, specific advice or recommendations, or for gathering information or research on topics.

While it may not effect any change, the results of the recent vote on industrial wind turbines held in South Marysburgh certainly made a point. That point was a resounding 'no' to wind turbines on the south shore among those who voted. Saturday's vote, hosted by the South Marysburgh Mirror posed the question: “Do you want industrial wind turbines installed in South Marysburgh like the ones proposed by wpd Canada and Gilead Power

for their projects near Milford and on the south shore?” A remarkable turnout of 62.4 per cent — 542 out of 868 South Marysburgh residents and landowners — voted, with 489 voting 'no' and just 51 voting 'yes.' The vote, which was open only to residents and property owners in South Marysburgh, was held from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Milford Town Hall and saw hundreds of residents cast their votes within two hours of the polls opening. One of those eager to have his opinion heard was

South Bay resident Warren Trimble. “I have an opinion and I think it better be heard,” he said. “I don't think (turbines) have a place in any locale where people don't want them.” Trimble said he was very interested to see what the results of the vote would be, but was strongly against bringing them to South Marysburgh. “Basically I think they're a bad idea,” he said. “They're hugely subsidized, they cost us a fortune to install and keep running.”

Low water conditions have Quinte Conservation calling for restraints on use County streams running at less than 70 per cent of lowest summer average AdAm BrAmBurger

Staff writer

Low fLow Most streams in the county, including this one near the intersection of County Rd. 5 and Fry Road are far below normal water levels as Quinte Conservation has declared a Level 1 low water condition and called for greater conservation efforts. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

While low water levels themselves may not be a cause for panic, the timing of Quinte Conservationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Level 1 low water advisory Tuesday has local officials concerned about supply. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have had low conditions before,â&#x20AC;? said Quinte Conservation general manager Terry Murphy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year, we declared a Level 1 in August. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a whole month earlier, and the way itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going now, we could be reaching Level 2 much earlier this year too.â&#x20AC;? Murphy explained the Level 1 condition is a result of a measure of the amount of rainfall received in the area and the level of streamflows throughout the Prince

Edward County watershed. He said over the last month, streamflow has been at less than 70 per cent of the lowest summer average, and that some streams may be running as low as 50 per cent of the normal summer flows. Murphy said the low water levels have also caused Quinte Conservation to put logs on dams to maintain levels in area lakes. To combat the water shortages, Quinte Conservation is calling on people to reduce their own water consumption by 10 per cent during the Level 1 advisory and should it get to Level 2, to increase that a 20-percent savings in water usage. Murphy said the low volume may affect wells in

rural areas and he called upon all water users to be aware of non-essential uses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had someone call me and I said people should consider not watering their lawns,â&#x20AC;? he recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really like the idea of a brown lawn,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and I said there are a lot of things worse than that â&#x20AC;&#x201D; like not having water to drink.â&#x20AC;? Watering plants and the washing of driveways, sidewalks, and siding are other areas Quinte Conservation is asking residents to consider limiting. Murphy indicated the low water levels could also have an impact on habitats for wildlife that relies on wetlands and various aquatic species. He added the drier it gets in the area, a greater potential exists for grass fires, which also take their toll on habitat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It can have a widereaching impact,â&#x20AC;? he said. While forecasts this

week have suggested the county could receive severe thunderstorms, Murphy said the water shortage isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t one that is going to be alleviated in short order. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need a lot of long, steady periods of gentle rain,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding runof is a concern during shorter bursts of rain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we get a huge downpour, that will do very little.â&#x20AC;? Quinte Conservation plans to continue to monitor the levels throughout the summer, according to water resources engineer Bryon Keene, who noted the county isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t alone in experiencing a water shortage this month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Conditions on the Moira River and in the Napanee Region watersheds are also dry. All of the river systems are at less than 30 per cent of normal for this time of year. Over the past three weeks, there has been less than 10 millimetres of rain over most of the watershed.â&#x20AC;?

Prince Edward families facing financial hardship will again be able to count on their child having essential school items thanks to the local Good Backpack Program. The program assists families who need extra help with their back to school budget by providing children with backpacks filled with grade appropriate school supplies. The backpacks are available to children entering J.K. to Grade 8. The program is a partnership project of the United Way of Quinte, the Community Development Council of Quinte, and Volunteer & Information Quinte and is delivered in Prince Edward County but the Prince Edward Learning Centre and Prince Edward-Lennox & Addington Social Services (PELASS). For the fourth year in a row the Prince Edward District Women's Institute contributed $500 to the project along with $500 from the Kinsmen Club of Picton and an additional contribution of $500 from an anonymous donor. The contributions allowed PELASS and the Prince Edward Learning Centre to purchase 150 backpacks for county families. PELASS supervisor Joanne Munro-Cape it's really fulfilling for everyone involved watching the kids come to pick out their

PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY

Looking back in the

Picton Gazette 80 years ago — 1932

■ A study published by the Motor Vehicle Branch of the Ontario Department of Highways indicated that in August 1931, there was an accident every 40 minutes somewhere on Ontario roads. It was noted that more than a quarter of the accidents came as drivers were on the wrong side of the road and nearly as many were the result of excessive speed. ■ Ontario cheese makers put together a five-year plan to capture the market in Great Britain. The plan included amalgamation of factories from 774 to 150 to reduce production costs, encouraging more milk production per cow, establishing cold storage, establishing a sales staff in Britain, and labelling products with a brand mark much like it did with apples. ■ Prime Minister R.B. Bennett hosted Commonwealth leaders for an important economic conference in Ottawa.

50 years ago — 1962

■ Insurance companies reported many damage claims from lightning in electrical storms that week. Rain and wind storms also rolled through the county , tearing down tents at the Girl Guides camp near Waupoos, damaging cherry trees in the south end of the county, and felling several tree limbs near Cressy. ■ A Pierce Arrow, believed to be built in 1926, was among the featured cars in Picton as part of a motorcade of classic and antique cars rolling through town. The Arrow, owned by Peter Stokes of Ottawa, was being thoroughly restored to its original condition at Picton Motors. ■ The Outlet Provincial Park had a banner day Sunday as approximately 7,000 people used beach facilities with 1,734 cars rolling through the gates and 250 camp sites occupied. Helicopter and plane rides and various exhibitions also boosted attendance at the park.

30 years ago — 1982

■ Picton businessman Guy Bongard was threatening to close his United Auto Glass shop as he said many insurance agents in the Picton area were sending their clients to Belleville and Stirling for repairs. Bongard said he quoted cheaper rates than some of his competitors but said Stanton Insurance was the only agency to send him work. ■ Mayor Don King announced he would seek another term in office after heading Picton council since 1975. King said if he was re-elected, he’d like to see Main Street reconstruction continued. If successful, he’d also serve the first threeyear term of a municipal mayor after serving two-year terms previously. ■ Picton’s Tom Huff of the Reptile Breeding Foundation said snapping turtles were being caught and slaughtered in Prince Edward County to satisfy the American demand for turtle soup. Huff was examining the trend to see the level of threat posed to the species in Ontario.

10 years ago — 2002

■ Plans for a new administrative building for the County were being studied, but CAO Richard Shannon said the plans were on the back burner during the summer months due to vacations. ■ Biologists with the Great Lakes Fishery Commission expressed great concern about the impact the invasive Asian carp may have on local ecosystems.

Evolution of social behaviour in parasitic birds

After a bit of silence, a passenger who was riding in the front seat of my car one day suddenly asked why cowbirds act and sound like cowbirds, and not like the foster parents who raised them. We are always warned about raising baby birds and the dangers of imprinting, a strong bond between the young and their “parent”. Imprinting can cause a young animal to recognize itself as human when raised inappropriately. Once that damage has been done, the likelihood of being able to release such an animal back to the wild is low and its future uncertain. Birds that are raised as babies by humans in captivity have no mentor birds to teach them so they naturally imprint on whoever has raised it. This was the basis of the movie, Fly Away Home, part of which was filmed at Sandbanks Provincial Park, in 1996. The film stars Anna Paquin, who adopts a brood of baby Canada geese. When the birds are imprinted with her as their Mother Goose, she realizes that unless she and her father (Jeff Daniels) can teach the birds to fly a migration route from Ontario to North Carolina, the birds will not be able to survive the winter. The solution comes in the form of ultralight aircraft that is used to guide the birds to sanctuary. The story was based on the actual experiences of Bill Lishman, who, 10 years earlier, started training geese to follow his ultralight and succeeded in leading their

migration in 1993. So if imprinting is such a concern, why is it that cowbirds, who are notorious for their habit of laying their eggs in the nests of other birds, don’t end up sounding and acting like yellow warblers, or song sparrows, or a host of other birds that are parasitized by these well know freeloading birds? Good question. Why don’t they? After all, the young birds have never had a parent cowbird teach them to sing like a cowbird, or behave like one. How do they grow up knowing they are cowbirds, given their atypical upbringing? Unlike other species of birds, it turns out that juvenile cowbirds have a very, very strong affinity and instinct for other juvenile cowbirds. Doubtless, it has evolved over thousands of years. Soon after fledging, they get together in huge flocks, forage together, roost

together and migrate together. They learn their identity not from their adoptive parents, but rather, from their peers in these large groups. Cowbirds cleverly have learned to ignore the rules of nature, and simply do not subscribe to the idea of imprinting. As these young birds grow older, the female cowbirds, amazingly, without any parental training, are able to recognize and identify male cowbirds by their song and possess the ability to respond to the song of the male bird. Upon hearing the song of the male, the female adopts the full posture of acceptance to the male’s advances, prior to mating. However, researchers have found something else out too and it is somewhat baffling, not only to casual observers, but to biologists as well. They found in an experiment, that by isolating the males from the females, and hence lowering their threshold for song, that even after six months, the females would still respond to the male’s song. It was even found that songs from isolate males in a laboratory were measurably more effective, not less, in releasing a copulatory response from the females. Why would it be more effective? Researchers scratched their heads and commented that it violated Darwinian principles. It was puzzling. Made no sense. At the end of the day, researchers concluded that it might make developmental

or evolutionary sense if isolate song was equivalent to normal song in its effectiveness to elicit response from a female. The finding did not seem to fit existing schemata of song development. Perhaps though it could be explained if we were able to show that cowbirds make use of this mechanism in nature by being solitary or nomadic, but we know that cowbirds live in large flocks during winter and spring, the presumed period of song learning. One explanation is that male cowbirds might develop a more effective song because of different auditory environments, such as by being in isolation during an experiment. This, in turn, may produce a more powerful or purer courtship message. However, every time researchers hypothesized, more experiments proved them wrong. That cowbirds, says the report, can afford to depend upon its environment for so critical a function is elegant, if unlikely, testimony to the powerful role of learning in development and evolution. And people wonder why we find birds so fascinating; we just never stop trying to understand how they function.

Hearing date set in murder case Woman assaulted at Sandbanks

The Bloomfield man accused of murdering his roommate has been provided a fall court date for a preliminary hearing. Lawrence Markwell, 53, was in Picton Provincial Court on Wednesday where it was determined the hearing will be held on Oct. 16 in the same court room. A preliminary hearing or evidentiary hearing is a proceeding, after a criminal complaint has been filed, to determine whether there is enough

evidence to require a trial. Details of preliminary hearings are protected by a publication ban in Ontario. Markwell is facing a charge of second degree murder after Thomas McCormick, 46, was found dead inside the home the two shared at 51 Stanley Street in Bloomfield in the early morning hours of May 1. -Jason Parks, Staff

The Ontario Provincial Police is looking for a male suspect following the assault of a 20-yearold woman at Sandbanks Provincial Park Friday. At about 11:30 p.m. that day police say they launched an investigation after receiving a report the woman was grabbed by a man at Richardson’s Point Beach. The man reportedly fled the scene as the woman’s friends came looking for her. The man is described as

being white, approximately six feet tall with a thin build and very thin fingers. He had a scruffy beard and salt-and-pepper hair and was wearing a worn green golf shirt at the time of the incident. Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the Prince Edward detachment at 613-476-2151 or Crime Stoppers at 613-969-8477. -Staff

CLEARLY, people bother to cast their ballots when there is an issue that is close to home and of direct importance to their quality of life. That seems to be one inference to be drawn from the reported results of the South Marysburgh Mirror’s referendum Saturday on the presence of industrial wind turbines like the two currently proposed to be built within that ward. After all, the reported voter turnout of 62.4 per cent surpasses the overall voter turnout reported in the Canadian general election (61.1 per cent), and the Ontario provincial election (42.9 per cent), and the last municipal election in Prince Edward County in 2010 (47.38 per cent). Those saying those trends aren’t apples-to-apples should note only 53.44 per cent of eligible South Marysburgh voters cast ballots in that municipal election — and that vote counted. On top of that, consider that more than 90 per cent of the people who bothered to show up at the polls on a warm summer Saturday voted against the turbines, there can be little doubt that an engaged, active group of residents have decided industrial wind power just isn’t for them. The respondents weren’t asked to give their reasoning behind not wanting the developments in their community — it could be any range of issues from health concerns, to the environment, to property values, to pure aesthetics — but it appears one of the few areas in Prince Edward County that can still host industrial wind turbines thanks to DND restrictions has decided it doesn’t wish to particularly wish to have them. That should be enough. While this vote is not binding and the municipal council of Prince Edward County may not have had standing when it came out to request a moratorium on industrial wind development, there should be no mistaking that a majority of people believe it is not the right kind of development for this area. Surely, the provincial government should be able to take that message, which echoes through louder and clearer as statistically, it appears to be a more significant portion of the host community than the portion of Ontario’s electorate which voted and handed Dalton McGuinty more time in the premier’s chair, despite key losses in rural Ontario. Last week in this space, we called for the some closure on this file and a collective effort to move forward. Inevitably, some in the minority will question the methodology and the motive behind the result provided, but it’s hard to convince us the sentiment is against industrial wind, whether that proves the right idea or the wrong one. Over time, with more research and study, maybe there will be new technologies that emerge or better practices for locating turbines that will allow the issue to be reconsidered and for more county residents to throw their support behind some form of renewables. As it stands, however, in the present form, the message was delivered soundly. It’s time to move on from the proposals being considered.

CRYSTALS IN THE PALACE

The Picton Gazette THURSDAY, JULY 12, 2012

Dance, gardening talk and free children’s theatre ahead Partnerships help build a strong community and the County of Prince Edward Public Library and Archives is pleased to work with others who also enrich the quality of life in the County. This Saturday at 11 a.m., the library with The Regent Theatre is presenting Canada’s leading gardening writer, Marjorie Harris. Marjorie Harris is the gardening columnist for the Globe and Mail newspaper, has written 15 gardening books and is a regular contributor on CBC radio’s Fresh Air. She will be speaking on simple ways to create beautiful gardens, solving gardening dilemmas, answering questions from the audience and signing books. Additionally, four names will be drawn from the audience and the lucky winners will enjoy lunch with the author following the talk. Tickets for this library fundraiser are $10 and available at the Regent Theatre box office. The event is the perfect way to begin an enjoyable Saturday in the county and we suggest following the talk with taking in the Quinte Educational Museum and Archives Treats, Treasures & Crafts sale at the Bloomfield Town Hall. Always much anticipated, the show offers shoppers unique handmade items and gifts at the sale, and proceeds will benefit the Quinte Educational Museum & Archives and The Victoria Schoolhouse museum. The library is also partnering with QEMA and the County Museums for a fundraising dance this month. The Fade Kings, featuring Eric Fry, John de Vries, Leigh Moore and David Impey, will be Rockin' at the Essroc on Friday, July 27 at 8p.m. The popular group is celebrating its 20th anniversary and the band members chose to show their support of County libraries and museums by playing for this fundraiser. The dance is in the Highline Hall at The Wellington District Community Centre. Tickets are $15 or two for $25 and available at all County

libraries. "The people of Prince Edward County want their libraries and museums, however small and remote, to thrive and be supported", says Kathy Reed, fundraiser for Quinte Educational Museum & Archives. "This is the time to show your support.“ Library CEO Barbara Sweet agrees, adding, “Fundraising events are increasingly important in these times of tight budgets and we continually strive to hold events that will engage the community and help us raise funds so that we can provide the services that residents need and want.” One of the frequent requests from families at the library is programming for children, and that has been a very successful story so far this summer with a rise in the number of participants over past years. “Families are looking for events that are fun, educational and free for their children,” says Sweet. One such upcoming event is a live theatre performance by the highly regarded Queen’s University children’s troupe The Barefoot Players. They will be staging Tempest in a Teapot, a wonderful play for the whole family, at the Picton branch of the library on Saturday, July 28 at 1p.m. For more information of programs and events, visit us online at www.peclibrary.org.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Turbine issue bringing people together in opposition

Last week’s Picton Gazette editorial (“A decade later, industrial wind still divides communities”) suggested that the ongoing debate over wind development in South Marysburgh is divisive. However, the vote conducted by the South Marysburgh Mirror on July 14 demonstrates the opposite. The community showed an amazing solidarity in its opposition to the proposed wind energy projects. Over 90 per cent voted No to the question “Do you want industrial wind turbines installed in South

Marysburgh like the ones proposed by wpd Canada and Gilead Power for their projects near Milford and on the south shore?” The ballot provided a clear question and the voting a clear answer. Achieving a plurality of 90 per cent is rare in any community on any given topic. Much like the rally at the Milford Fairgrounds this past May, the vote indicates the deep and broad consensus that these projects are proposed in the wrong place.

Wind energy projects along the south shore have been strongly condemned by many, including Ontario Nature and the Audubon Society, because of their impact on the natural environment. The limited local support appears to be primarily among those few who stand to profit, and a few more who advocate industrial wind energy at any cost. Thanks to the South Marysburgh Mirror, we have a true measure of how the vast majority of those living

in the area view these projects. Rather than causing residents to drift apart, the issue has brought us closer together in our opposition. But the Gazette is right: This issue has persisted for too long. Now is not the time for arbitration or compromise. What is most appropriate is withdrawal of the projects by both Gilead Power Corporation and wpd Canada Inc. Orville Walsh Milford

Opposition to industrial wind based on factual arguments

In a letter to The Picton Gazette last week, Don Chisholm claimed that previous letter-writers had "jumped on" Mike Platt for supporting wind energy because the South Marysburgh poll on industrial wind turbines was coming up. I can't speak for the others who wrote in, but I chose to write because Platt made a number of assertions about

industrial wind turbines and those who oppose them, which he failed to back up with a single statistic or fact. The debate about industrial wind turbines is bound to be heated and emotional. That doesn't mean that logic should be abandoned. Nor does Chisholm contribute logic to the argument when he casts aspersions on those who have thoroughly researched the damage

caused by industrial wind turbines and have therefore chosen to oppose them. Chisholm's aspersions are faulty logic (an argument ad hominem, according to formal logic) since they attack people rather than advancing the debate. As the Gazette's editorial last week states, "There appears to be enough evidence mounting that industrial wind may not be all it's

hailed to be -- the Ontario Auditor General's report, the European countries that have stepped back from their commitments to the technology, and voices of the people living close to turbines ..." Thank you to The Picton Gazette for bringing the debate back to the facts.

Hands up, who can visualize 1 billion dollars? Consider that a $100 bill is onetenth of a millimeter thick. If you start stacking $100 bills, the size of a $10,000 pile would be 10 millimeter high (about four inches). An American $1 billion (as opposed UK) would be 1 kilometer high. Lay the pile on its side, one kilometre is about from the Picton No

Frills to the LCBO corner. Why do I ask you to visualize a billion? The Province of Ontario debt is $262 billion and growing. If that pile of $100 bills were laid down, it would reach 262 kilometres (Belleville to Cambridge). Simplification? Of course! Government debt is very complicated. However, $262 billion is very real

money and unsustainable without effective reductions. Yet the new provincial budget projects additional debt of $16 billion even if all things go per forecast. For example: the government itself estimates that electricity rates in Ontario will increase by 46 per cent by 2015. That’s an extra $1,100 a year, after

taxes, for the average family just to get the same power out of a wall socket. I know that I cannot afford this level of spending, can you. These politicians are out of control. As the bumper sticker says “ IF You Are Not Outraged, You Are Not Paying Attention.”

Just a few thoughts on the wind turbine issue... On the ballot I cast on Saturday in Milford, there were no choices! If it had read “Do you prefer wind or coal power” that would

have meant something. Also, I was thinking that the people up in Toronto gasping for air this week would have appreciated our thoughtfulness. Looking farther than our own

selfish interests might benefit the human race sometimes. No, I am not a land owner who would reap any benefit from having a turbine on my property (though our prop-

erty is in the minimum distance away from a proposed site. The benefit for me would be “hope.” Alison Hicks South Marysburgh

SummerAid raises $4,400 for hospital East Lake resort helps campaign

WHATTAM’S COMMUNITY CALENDAR

Jason Parks

Staff writer

It might not have had the deep impact organizers were originally hoping for but the first SummerAid event held at Sandbanks Village last month raised that $4,400 for the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation (PECMHF) is being toasted as a success. Organized and staged in just a two-week time frame, the event competed with the Canada Day long weekend and there were hopes, given the number of large scale prizes being raffled off, the event might raise upwards of $10,000. Held at the Sandbanks Summer Village cottage development on East Lake, those that did attend took part in poolside competitions, horse drawn carriage and helicopter rides while having the opportunity to buy raffle tickets on fabulous, local prizes including a new barbecue, lawn mower and gift certificates. Presenting the PECMHF with funding that will be directed to the $750,000 digital mammography campaign, Sandbanks general manager John DaGloria admitted the event fell somewhat short of expectations. “We had hoped for a more funds but we were late planning the event. It will be an annual event going forward and with more planning and more time to stage, it will be more dynamic and feature more community involvement next year.” Dagloria added this cause

was easy for his company and the residents of Sandbanks Summer Village to get behind. “It's very important to the residents of Sandbanks Summer Village to have a well serviced hospital close to the cottages. With 237 units and thousands of people visiting, medical emergencies are bound to happen at some point or another and, for the owners, supporting this hospital is very important.” PECMHF Executive Director Anna Marie Ferguson said it's always nice to new businesses and organizations understand the need to support the funding of medical equipment at Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital. “It sets a precedent when a new business and new people come into the community and support the foundation in this way. It speaks volumes,” she said. Currently, the campaign has eclipsed the $500,000 mark, allowing for the ultra-

sound portion to be purchased. Ferguson mentioned the new unit was replacing a 14year-old model that had been termed 'obsolete' and replacement parts were becoming scarce. The purchase and installation of the new digital mammography unit will ensure breast screening services will remain at PECMH. Up next for the foundation will be the annual On-air-forHealthcare Radioathon event organized by the Trenton, Belleville and Prince Edward Hospital Foundations. On August 30, local radio stations will be broadcasting stories of exceptional health care and taking pledges for equipment needs at the three hospitals. Equipment for hospitals in Ontario is not funded through the Ministry of Health and Longterm Care and funding is required to be raised by the community to equip local health facilities.

You know, now and then you receive a forwarded email with interesting information in it. Who knows if it’s accurate but this one is certainly gripping. It tells the tale of what you can accomplish with a cucumber. This time of year you can find the cucumber at almost every roadside vegetable stand. 1. Cucumbers contain most of the vitamins you need every day, just one cucumber contains Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Folic Acid, Vitamin C, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium and Zinc. 2. Feeling tired in the afternoon, put down the caffeinated soda and pick up a cucumber. Cucumbers are a good source of B vitamins and carbohydrates that can provide that quick pick me up that can last for hours. 3. Tired of your bathroom mirror fogging up after a shower? Try rubbing a cucumber slice along the mirror, it will eliminate the fog and provide a soothing, spa like fragrance. 4. Are grubs and slugs ruining your planting beds? Place a few slices in a small pie tin and your garden will be free of pests all season long. The chemicals in the cucumber react with the aluminum to give off a scent undetectable to humans but drive garden pests crazy and make them

Tribute to Billy Joel, Elton John to benefit Music at Port Milford August show at Regent Theatre will support camp for talented young musicians ChaD IBBOTSON

Staff writer

A concert collaboration will bring rock hits with an orchestral twist to Picton next month. The concert, titled Piano Men — The music of Elton and Billy, will consist of a rock band performing with a symphony orchestra and will feature some of the greatest hits from Elton John and Billy Joel. The Music at Port Milford Students will serve as the orchestra for the evening with proceeds going to benefit the camp. Christopher Eastburn, who plays bass in the band and wrote the orchestrations has been an instructor at Music at Port Milford for many years and, after having an initial collaboration with students a couple of summers ago, decided to put together a benefit concert the students could take part in. The New England-based act premiered last year in Portland, Maine (with a different orchestra) with vocalist and pianist Joe Boucher at the helm. “In order for an orchestrator to hear what their music sounds like you need to get a

group of musicians together to do a rehearsal called a reading where everybody sits down and looks at it for the first time,” Boucher said of Music at Port Milford's initial involvement with the show. “We were able to do a reading with the students which was phenomenal. For us it was the first time to hear the orchestrations.” Music at Port Milford regularly has world renowned classical musicians sit in with them for benefit concerts, but Boucher said he believed this would be the first time the camp with do a pops-type collaboration. “This is definitely the first of its kind (for Music at Port Milford) because it's a rock show, a rock band with the orchestra,” he said. He said music education is something that is continually being cut from public school budgets and it's important to him on a personal level to keep the arts alive. “The students at Music at Port Milford are very motivated. These are kids that are on track, many of them, to being professional musicians and just making the community aware that these endeav-

ours are happening right under their noses is really important,” Boucher said. “I've always been a very big advocate.” He said the music students are already fired up for the show. Word of the show went out to them just as they were signing up for summer workshops. Boucher said he expects some of the students who attended the initial reading of the orchestrations two years ago will also be participating in the show. Although he said a lot of the kids weren't familiar with the material, he said it seems to have caught on. “They're in their teens or early 20s and that music is 30 years old, but they took to it, which is great,” he said. Boucher likened the show to similar performances aimed at bringing classical music to new audiences. “Symphony orchestras around the U.S. and Canada have been working to reach out beyond regular classical audiences and they've traditionally done what they call pops programming,” Boucher said. “A lot of the time pops programming is music from broadway or

movie music.” He said one of the demographics that orchestras have begun to target is baby boomers. “People who came of age when rock and roll was playing on their eight-track players in their car, now those people are a potential orchestra audience,” he said. Boucher said growing up as a piano player Elton John and Billy Joel were big influences. Songs in the first set include “Your Song,” “My Life,” and “Tiny Dancer.” He said he would love to see a full house when the show kicks off on Saturday, August 4 at 8 p.m. in the Regent Theatre in Picton.

Grass fire keeps Hwy 62 closed for five hours while crews neutralize flames Spark ignited dry cedar mulch, smoke led to visibility hazard on major roadway adam BramBurger

Staff writer

An accidental grass fire kept Hwy 62 between Jericho Road and Burr Road closed for five hours Monday evening as Prince Edward County fire crews worked to contain the blaze. Deputy chief Robert Rutter said the department re-

ceived several 911 calls about the fire from passing motorists just after 2:30 p.m. as winds carried plumes of smoke across the provincial roadway making visibility difficult. According to Rutter, workers at a solar panel installation to the west of the highway had been finishing a project to fence in the installation and were in the

process of cutting the fence posts. An errant spark ignited long grass nearby. The heat spread as it caught a pile of cedar mulch measuring 50 feet by 60 feet, piled 12 feet high. "This was 100 feet off the road and the wind took it," Rutter said. "We put the grass fire out right away, but the problem was that large pile of cedar." He said the contractor was very helpful on the site after it had failed to stamp out the fire initially. The workers brought in two excavators to try to break down the pile before the flames spread, while fire-

fighters worked at extinguishing the pile. Water was pumped in from a pond across the road. Rutter said that about 40 firefighters helped on the call. Two stations responded with men and equipment, while firefighters from two other districts within the county offered support. "We were concerned about safety, especially in this heat," Rutter said. "We had lots of drinking water and a lot of crew available. We were able to rotate them through to prevent heat exhaustion." He also thanked the OPP

for their work in closing off the road, given its proximity. That allowed the firefighters room to pump water and reduced the risk of accidents due to the poor visibility. The fire also tells the tale

why the entire county remains under a burn ban. "It's a perfect example, that was just a simple spark that quickly became a blaze," he said. "It's so dry and so tender everywhere… it's really bad."

Rosehall Run boasts an astounding number of accolades for its wine

This week we are visiting Rosehall Run Vineyards (named for the nearby hamlet of Rosehall) located on Greer Road in the heart of the Hillier wine district. The founders of Rosehall Run, winemaker Dan Sullivan and his partner, Lynn Sullivan, together with their brother-in-law, Cam Reston, purchased the 150acre farm in 2000. The site was selected due to its proximity to Lake Ontario and remarkable Hillier clay soil scattered with numerous rock and shale fragments on a limestone base. They planted the vineyard in 2001, had their first harvest in 2004 and then opened their winery doors in 2006. Their 7,200-square-foot winery facility and barrel cellar was constructed 2008. It's a very impressive facility and on one of my visits there Dan was quite excited to explain and show me how the gravity system all worked. Prior to founding Rosehall Run, Dan spent 15 years honing his craft as a home winemaker and was awarded a Grand Master Winemaker at the Amateur Winemakers of Ontario. As the vineyard manager and winemaker, Dan Sullivan manages every

facet of Rosehall Run’s operation. The wines he produces are a reflection of his dedication to the vineyard. He maintains a hands-on approach to managing the vineyard staff, monitoring the weather and its effects, and using gentle, environmentally sound grape farming techniques that extract the optimum from the unique Prince Edward County terroir. As a result, Dan has been acknowledged as being one of the best grape growers in Ontario. Rosehall Run offers a selection of distinct wines

meticulously crafted from Prince Edward County and Ontario fruit. The soils and microclimates of the county coupled with the all-pervading limestone base provide an ideal growing environment for cool- climate grapes such as Pinot noir and Chardonnay. Highlights include Rosehall Run’s estate-grown Pinot noir and Chardonnay, the unique Sullyzwicker red, white and rose blends and a duo of wines produced in association with acclaimed Chef Jamie Kennedy. Dan works with both local and international chefs, restaurateurs and fellow winemakers to raise the profile of Ontario’s thriving local food and wine community. He is a member of the Wine Council of Ontario board of directors and secretary/ treasurer of i4C (International Cool Climate Celebration). He is also a member of the advisory committee for the Algonquin College sommelier certificate program in Ottawa (where Delores obtained her sommelier training) and a certified judge with the Wine Judges of Canada. It is because of his training and status as a certified wine judge that we asked

members thoroughly enjoyed all the wines and were very impressed with the local selection and Dan's vast knowledge of this varietal. Since opening Dan has received consistently positive press and critical acclaim and a number of local and international awards.

THE PICTON GAZETTE

Upgrading homes: How to make a smooth sale When most people buy their first home, they usually consider it a “starter home” and dream of purchasing a bigger and better home one day. Using the equity you’ve built up in your current home, and depending on your financial situation, a move to an upgraded home may be quite possible, especially given today’s low interest rates. If you’re curious to find out if you qualify for your dream home, ask a Realtor to help you calculate carrying costs on a “move up” home. There are many reasons why you may wish to have a larger home - a growing family, more rooms to accommodate older children, an elderly parent has moved in. Or maybe you want a larger yard, a garage, or a home with a private driveway. Whatever your reasons, moving up to a new home can be very satisfying. It can also prove to be financially beneficial. The equity in your home will continue to grow and the value of a bigger and better home will be greater over time. There is also a sense of pride that comes with up-

grading your home.

BUY FIRST OR SELL FIRST?

This is one of the trickiest questions to answer when you are selling one home to buy another. If you purchase your new home before you reach an agreement to sell your current property – and the deal falls through – you could find yourself owning two homes at the same time. On the other hand, if you wait until you receive an acceptable offer on your present home, you may suffer the inconvenience and expense of having to rent a place and store your furniture while you await possession of a new home. A Realtor may be able to help you time your sale and purchase to happen on the same closing date – the date that ownership is legally transferred from the seller to the buyer. When you decide that moving up is the way to go, be sure to enlist the services of a Realtor. He or she has the qualifications and expertise required for a smooth sale and is committed to spending the time it takes to help you successfully sell your home and move up to another. Your options can be

confusing at times, but a Realtor can help you make the right choices. He or she will help you determine the market value of your current home and therefore the price range you should be considering in a move up home. You’ll need to determine where you want to move. Do you want to stay in the same neighbourhood or move on? There are almost as many considerations on location as there are homes, but a Realtor is skilled and knowledgeable in all aspects of a real estate transaction and can ensure you make a smooth move. Moving up to meet your changing lifestyle and needs can be an exhilarating experience. It may also be the biggest and best investment you’ll ever make. If you decide to take advantage of current market conditions and enhance your investment today, be sure to enlist the knowledge and expertise of a Realtor who will be able to help you choose the best option for you.

Dukes are shipping off to Boston this week Wellington brass lines up two teams of 2012-2013 hopefuls to compete in annual Chowder Cup tournament Jason Parks

Staff writer

The Wellington Dukes will be looking for a little chowdah in Bahston this weekend. The local Junior A hockey club is fielding two entries in the annual John Cunniff Chowder Cup showcase tournament in Walpole, Foxboro, and Canton, Massachusetts starting today and running until Sunday. While the club is no stranger to showcase events, annually participating in the Woodchuck Classic showcase event in South Burlington, Vermont for the better part of the last decade, this marks the first time the team will try out a summer venture. “The appeal for us was the time of year,” Wellington Dukes coach and general manager Marty Abrams said. “It gives us another look at some of our prospects and some of our returning players to see what kind of progress they've made over the summer to date.” The tournament will provide Abrams and assistant coach Todd Reid a look at number of prospects at both the forward and defence positions but, more importantly, it will provide a look at where the Wellington goaltending situation stands. With Tyler Marble having flown the Dukes coop for the Soo (Michigan) Eagles (who themselves have defected from the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League and have linked up with the independent North American Hockey League), Wellington will be looking for two goaltenders for the upcoming season. Andrew Pearson will take most of the shots for the

oPen audition Defenceman Riley McGuire, a Stirling product who skated for the Quinte Major Midget Red Devils last season is one of the prospects the Wellington Dukes are taking to Boston this weekend as two teams of players look to catch the eye of coach and general manager Marty Abrams for this year’s roster. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

White entry while Haydon Lavinge and Braydon Banitsiotis will spilt time in the Red team's cage. In limited spot duty last season (four games), Pearson had three wins and posted a 1.64 goals against average for the Dukes while Banitsiotis (2011) and Lavigne (2012) are Belleville Bulls draft picks and played minor hockey in 2011-2012.

A 1996-born player, Lavinge is already being mentioned by Abrams among some other top freshmen netminders the club has employed in the past such as NHL draftees Dan Lacosta and Eddie Pasquale. “We are very comfortable with him and believe he can carry on the tradition of some of the elite 16-year-old netminders we've had in the

past,” Abrams said. “The other spot is up in the air and it's going to make for a tremendous competition in August.” Abrams is envisioning a small training camp of about 30 or so players and leaves no doubt that the selection process for both prospects and veterans starts from the drop of the puck on Thursday.

“Some players will weed themselves out of the process while others will elevate their standing with us,” Abrams said. A look at the Red squad shows just a handful of veterans dotting the lineup including Craig Campbell and Jackson Howe while blue chippers Jake Marchment, Jacob Hetherington and Zach Bishop make up the majority

of the lineup. Abrams has tapped Picton Pirates coach and former Dukes assistant Ryan Woodward to coach the entry. Abrams will call the line changes for the white club who has veterans Austin Broadhurst, Josh Gervais, Adam Ritchie and Erick Delaurentis suiting up alongside rookies Abbot Girduckis, Wyatt Cota, Tim Pandachuk and Jordan Brown. Both squads were put through a workout in preparation for the showcase and Abrams liked what he has seen so far. “It was a high-tempo, high-pace practice from start from finish,” Abrams said. “There is an eagerness, a want to play at our level and want to play for the Dukes. There is a passion to wear that jersey, a passion to play hockey in Wellington, and a want to be a part of the community.” Chowder Notes: The event is named after the late John Cunniff, a Massachusetts native who coached in the New Jersey Devils system and, ironically, coached Duke alumnus Bryan Helmer from 1996 to 1998 during his time with the Albany River Rats of the American Hockey League...A number of OJHL teams and players are involved in the tournament including Aurora and Trenton.

New rule allows Wellington to acquire two additional 16-year-old cards from Aurora Abrams plans to ice young team when OJHL season rolls around in September, projecting 12 players born in 1995 and 1996 Jason Parks

Staff writer

In one of its best seasons, the Wellington Dukes were built around a youth movement. In 2002-2003, the club employed several 16 and 17 year olds including future NHLers Derek Smith and Liam Reddox as well as Tony Rizzi, Brodie Beard, Trevor Kell, Warren Cooper, Dayne Davis and others that would go on to play in the Ontario Hockey League as the Dukes battled their way to the Royal Bank Cup in Charlottetown. It seemed like a great for-

mula at the time and worked very well for Wellington but abuses by other Junior hockey clubs at all levels soon prompted Hockey Canada to limit the number of 16 year olds a junior team could sign. Since 2005, Wellington and other Ontario Junior Hockey League clubs have been able to only sign two 16-year-old players per season but that number is about to change thanks to some maneuvering by the Ontario Hockey Association. For past few seasons, the OHA has presented the Ontario Hockey Federation with a concept that averag-

ing could be done amongst its clubs and it would not affect the midget level of minor hockey, meaning, if the 23-team league is allowed two 16 year olds per team (equalling 46 players) it shouldn't matter how those 46 players are distributed amongst its members. The OHF agreed and now Wellington and other teams have the power to seek out fellow OJHL squads that won't be utilizing their compliment of 16year-old players and may sign up to an additional two 16 year olds for a maximum of four per team. Wellington Dukes gen-

eral manager and Coach Marty Abrams said his club, in the wake of the recent agreement, has sought out an additional two cards and has an agreement with the Aurora Tigers in principle for their two 1996 birth year cards for the 2012-2013 season. By his projections, Wellington will have four 1996 birth year players this season as well as eight 1995 birth year players. If this holds true and Abrams resists the urge to acquire an OHL castoff or two, this years edition of the Wellington Dukes will quite likely be the youngest

squad to take the ice in Abrams' dozen or so years with the franchise. “We have a very knowledgeable fan base and the fans have spoken that they want players that want to be here,” Abrams said. “They like the younger teams that go out and put an effort in every single night, they want kids that are going to school and kids that want to go out and play hockey. The Wellington Dukes are trying to deliver what the community wants.” Abrams admitted the organization being selected as finalists to host the 2013 Dudley Hewitt Cup and

turing this season into a building block for a run at the Royal Bank Cup championship birth next season is in the back of his mind, however, he would like to get an additional two 1997 birth year slots next season. With a youth movement afoot, its likely that some veterans will be moved and Abrams made mention of this when talking about this weekend's John Cuniff Chowder Cup in Boston, stating some players would weed themselves out of the 2012-13 training camp selection process with a poor performance at the tournament.

Use of cash security authorized for subdivsion work County looks to see outstanding Macaulay Village work addressed Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

A motion from committee of the whole has declared the owner of Macaulay Village subdivision to be in default and has authorized the use of a cash security to complete unfinished work within the development. A report from the public works department presented to committee of the whole last week says the owner of the development — Davin Corporation — has not completed several aspects of the development required through the subdivision agreement. The outstanding work relates to water mains, sanitary sewers, street lighting, survey bar replacement and as-built subdivision plans. The estimated cost to

completed the outstanding deficiencies is $70,000. The maintenance guarantee includes a letter of credit which entitles the municipality to $55,000 plus five building lots within the subdivision. Mayor Peter Mertens said the municipality has sufficiently covered itself so it will not incur any costs associated with completing the outstanding work. “If there are things we need to complete we've made sure we've protected ourselves that we have sufficient funds to complete whatever is left,” he said. “That's standard practice and it's (public works commissioner Robert McAuley's) belief that even realizing on one of those building lots out of the five would in all likelihood be sufficient to cover our downside.” Mertens said despite being entitled to up to five building lots, it's not likely the municipality would need assume ownership of all of them.

“If all we really needed was the one, we would only really exercise the one. We wouldn't take property from someone in excess of what was owed to us or what we needed to cover our costs,” he said. The report presented last Thursday says the first stage of the development was approved in May 2007 and in accordance with the subdivision agreement all of the required works and utilities were to be completed within six months of the date of the execution of the agreement. However, the report says many requirements were still outstanding at the end of that time period. “In spite of repeated written requests by public works to Davin to correct the deficiencies including a meeting between staff and the owners, many deficiencies remain outstanding at this time,” the report says. It says public works has tried to contact the owners more recently in October 2011, April 2012 and June

Copperheads slither into top spot in men’s fastball league

There is a new first place team in the Prince Edward County Fastball League. The Roblin's Family Plumbing Copperheads moved past Whitepine Watershed Tuesday evening by virtue of their 2-0 whitewash of the cellar dwelling Beatty Seeds Huskers. Roblin's (9-3-1, 19 points) got seven scoreless innings from starter Wil Claus who fanned 14 Husker batters while the The Huskers' (2-9-1, five points) Dennis Smith had seven punch outs in taking the loss. Tuesday night's win by the Plumbers came on the heels of a big 3-2 win over Whitepine (9-4-0, 18 points) on Tyendinaga Thursday. Kreg Roblin hit an inside

the park home run in the first inning and Barkley Van Hecke drove in a pair for the Copperheads who again utilized Claus in picking up the win over the then-league leaders. In other action on Tuesday, Terra Vista (5-5-2, 12 points) got a great outing from starter Mike Stever as the Rockies blanked the Warren's Excavating Ameliasburgh A's (4-62, 10 points) 5-0. On Thursday night Ameliasburgh, Terra Vista topped Beatty's 4-0 as Dale Dowdell struck out 12. In the late game at Roblin Lake, the host A's shaded Danford Contracting (5-7-0, 10 points) 6-5. Chris Wells drove in three while Jamie Caughill was the

Sold-out beef dinner delivers dollars for cardiac rehab initiative Cattlemen work toward fulfilling $50,000 pledge for program Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

Dinner, dancing and a lesson in cardiovascular science. These were just a few of the interesting things visitors to the sold out Prince Edward Cattlemen's Association's (PECA) beef dinner fundraiser on Saturday. The association set a lofty fundraising goal of $50,000 this year and have decided to raise that money in support of the Prince Edward Family Health Team's (PEFHT) much needed cardiac rehab program exercise equipment. All proceeds from the dinner, which also included a live auction, gift baskets and a prize steer banner auction, went straight to PEFHT for the exercise equipment. Co-chair of PECA's steer show committee John Hancock said this will be the 10th year for the steer show and its fundraising efforts. “In the past we've raised money in conjunction with (accounting firm) Wilkinson for young people going off to a post-secondary education in agriculture,” said Hancock. “This year being the 10th anniversary, we wanted to do something a little bigger.” He said after looking locally for a worthy cause, the association decided to do-

nate to the Family Health Team's cardiac rehab program. “They said they needed about $50,000 for that, so we've taken on that role this summer of trying to raise that — this is the first of several events,” he said. “We didn't go looking specifically for a cardiac venue, it was just something in the local community that would have an impact. It was the first thing we found and we thought it was a great idea.” Hancock said it was encouraging to sell all of the 250 tickets that were available. A steady stream of visitors crowded the doors at the Prince Edward Community Centre Hall, many comment-

ing on the succulent smell of corn fed beef sizzling outside in a smoker. The meat may have brought the visitors in, but Hancock said he was hoping they would leave with more than just a full stomach. “The idea tonight was to have the opportunity to present the cardiac rehab program to these people,” he said. “We're going to have the doctors give an outline of what actually the family health team are doing within the cardiac program. We're hoping 250 people will go home more knowledgeable about what's happening here in Picton — if that's a success it will be a great night.” PEFHT executive director Duff Sprague said everyone

Hancock said a portion of the proceeds from the steer show at the Picton Fair will also go toward the cause. “Hopefully it will be a bigger and better steer show than we've had in the past.

involved with the cardiac rehab program is excited about the goal set by PECA. “We didn't know how we were going to get the exercise equipment to run this program, we need about 10 pieces of fairly expensive equipment,” he said. The program is a combination of exercise and education. Physiotherapists and cardiac professionals work with patients to create heartstrengthening exercises and encourage active lifestyles. “This exercise program and dedication to lifelong exercise will keep these people out of hospital,” said Sprague. The first class of the program graduated earlier this year after getting up and running in February, but has been sharing space at a fitness facility. Sprague said the new space for the program has already been set up and is just waiting to be filled. “This is something this community badly needs,” he said. “We went through our electronic medical records and we saw that 1,500 of our patients have had heart incidents and 72 of them at any given time could benefit from this program.” He said right now the closest similar program is in Kingston. Patients are expected to go three times per week and Sprague said for many that's not an option. “That's a lot of money and a lot of time away and a lot of people just can't do it,” he said. He thanked the Cattlemen's Association for their

Festival Playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; latest offering captures a motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love and quirks Playwright Tremblayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homage to his own mother staged in both English and French as sixth season opens Staff writer

Each of us has had parents or other figures who have stepped in to fill a parental role in our lives. Inevitably, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all brought their own quirks to the role. Some lead to smiles and laughter, others lead to nervousness and quarrel, but ultimately they are quite memorable. Playwright Michel Tremblay happened to have a mother with a number of quirks herself â&#x20AC;&#x201D; she had a wild imagination, a knack for stories and exaggerations, a genuine concern for her son, and several other habits developed in life. It was those qualities the renowned Tremblay wanted to capture when he wrote Encore une fois si vous permittez, later translated

into the English For the Pleasure of Seeing Her Again by Linda Gaboriau. Essentially, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d bring her back to life and go through different stages of his youth as an adult, remembering his emotions and showing how his relationship changed with his mother over time, showing her the life heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d made after her worries of him being â&#x20AC;&#x153;unsettled.â&#x20AC;? To start its sixth season, the Festival Players of Prince Edward County put on the show at Mt. Tabor in both English and French. Despite not being a mother herself, Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rachel Robillard seemed to nail a weighty portion of text and give Nana a genuine, believable quality that most could find both humour and real-life paral-

Though there are moments when her son (Paul Rainville) opens his mouth to reply, the performance is almost more monologue as Robillard delivers passage after passage, sharing her profound concern when he got in trouble, her distaste for some members of the family, and her wonder for the lifestyle her son has chosen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a natural-born talker,â&#x20AC;? she joked, adding sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been working on the script in both languages since May, often going three or four hours after rehearsal any given day. While Robillard may steal the show with her delivery and timing, the effort would be lost without

shows her way of caring for her son, based on playwright Michel Tremblay (Paul Rainville) in his play, which centres on the notion that he was able to bring her back after she died and relive her influence at various points in his life.

challenging for him to do the amount of listening he does. It's not passive at all, it's incredibly active. He's very supportive. If I do some play acting and change a few things up every night, he's right back in with me.â&#x20AC;? Rainville, who returns to the festival after playing Mr. Deeds in The Ballad of Weedy Peetstraw last year, says thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of intrigue in the story they portray. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody has a mother. It's a great relationship that he's created between himself and his mother and he gets to say all the things he never got to say to her,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For anyone who has been through a situation where they wanted to go back and reshape the way events unfolded, there's an enormous delight in bringing her back and basking in her storytelling. Knowing Tremblayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own story also adds to the enjoyment of this play Rainville said, noting the

playwright was involved in a change of the way Quebeckers saw themselves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He's part of the vanguard that signalled the great awakening of Quebecois culture,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When Quebec became a distinct people. Up until then, Quebec had looked to France more than its own stories.â&#x20AC;? For much of his life, Tremblay was outspoken about Quebec sovereignty and disagreed with his plays being produced in English in Quebec. He also refused the Order of Canada in 1990. The political questions are handled in a subtle way in this play as his character asks his mother about nobility and tales from France, while she admits she wonders about some of his views and the people he associates with. The dual-language nature of the play is fascinating, given the staging is practically the same, though the actors had to learn two sets of dialogue â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and they go back and forth between the two on a dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s notice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit of a mindsomething, a real challenge,â&#x20AC;? said Robillard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got both texts in your head and it takes a while to get them set so you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mix them up.â&#x20AC;? Rainville agreed, but stated director Craig Holzschuh has been great at challenging the actors to keep in touch with both scripts and the fact the actors have been billeted at the same house made the vigorous rehearsals more easy to manage. He said he believes the idea to stage one play in two languages is a wise one. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Artistic director ) Sarah Phillips has done a great job in adding this element of a bilingual show,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are lots of tourists that are bilingual, taking advantage of that is a shrewd, artistic decision to make.â&#x20AC;? Holzschuh, no stranger to the county with family in the Bath area, said leading up to the show, many of the requests for interviews he and his cast fielded came from French-language sources. Regardless, he agreed it is a show that can be enjoyed regardless of language. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's a nice homage,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Audiences have a quick connection to Nana. Off the bat, she may seem a little gruff to people, but they really dig in and feel bad for her in the end. You can tell in that last scene people are listening really intently, every little joke they react to.â&#x20AC;? The simple story and the straightforward staging on the intimate boards of Mt. Tabor also work in endearing this show to audiences. There is nothing to distract from the pure emotion delivered by the veteran actors and well-crafted text The run continues at Mt. Tabor until July 27. A detailed schedule including English and French dates is available at www.festivalplayers.ca. Tickets are available through www.countytix.ca or by calling 613-471-1991.

Turnout percentage for plebiscite reportedly higher than municipal election

VOTE, from page 1

“There's no benefit to anybody down here except for the people that receive rent for having the turbines on their property — that's it.” Trimble said he wasn't sure if the results of the vote would change anyone's mind with regard to locating the turbines in South Marysburgh, but held hope that it could. “I think the government has its mind made up. (Premier Dalton) McGuinty did say that communities that don't want them will be down lower on the list as far as having to accept them. I'm hoping that

makes a difference,” he said. Prince Edward-Hastings MPP Todd Smith said the result of the vote was a resounding statement of where South Marysburgh residents stand on the industrial wind turbine issue, with over 90 per cent of those who voted voting against placing turbines in the ward. “It was actually a better turnout for the referendum in South Marysburgh than there was for any of the last three federal, provincial or municipal elections, so obviously it's something that has touched a lot of people in Prince Edward County,

particularly in South Marysburgh where these turbines are planned,” Smith said. He said since the results of the referendum have been released he has written a letter to Premier Dalton McGuinty citing the results and residents' view on the topic. Smith also noted an April article in the Belleville Intelligencer where McGuinty said communities which clearly show a majority who don't want turbines will placed behind communities that do when considering projects. “I've written a letter to the premier just reminding

him of his statement that day and also informed him of the results of the referendum on Saturday,” Smith said. “Hopefully he will see fit to encourage his environment minister to turn down the EBR proposal for the Gilead project and the White Pines project as well.” Smith said the reaction across the province to the results of the referendum would be interesting to see. He said he knows there are communities in Ontario who are willing to host the turbines, noting ChathamKent as one, but he said clearly the county is not among them.

“It only makes sense that if there are willing host communities out there … if they want to put (turbines) up that they go there,” Smith said. “Prince Edward County has made it very clear, both the municipal council and now the residents of South Marysburgh, that they don't want these there. I'm not exactly sure why a government would want to force these things on a community that doesn't want them.” Smith said the recent announcement that Health Canada and Statistics Canada will jointly investigate health effects associated with turbines presents a perfect opportunity for the province to step back and put a moratorium on wind projects until the study is complete. South Marysburgh Mirror publisher and editor Steve Ferguson said through all the talk about wind turbines, the one question that he kept mulling was how many residents actually wanted the turbines and how many didn't. He said the vote was a way to answer that question and get a good understanding of what exactly the community wants. “My role was to quantify the feelings of the com-

munity and turn those results over to the community and people in the community can do as they wish,” Ferguson said. Ferguson said he believes the vote to be the first of its kind in the province. Upon announcing the vote he said he wasn't sure what the reaction would be, but as time went on it became evident the vote was going to attract a lot of attention. “It became evident that this was top of mind with a lot of people and I was very impressed on Saturday with how prepared people were,” he said. “They arrived with their drivers license, they arrived with other documentation that they were tied to the community, they were genuinely thankful to be given an opportunity to have a say — that was really quite gratifying.” Ferguson said even though there were 542 ballots cast, there were actually more than 600 people looking to vote. “A bunch had to be disqualified because they either weren't in South Marysburgh or their identification didn't check out,” he said.

Proposed process hinges on final approval from council this month

While some people may be chosen to contribute to more than one item, Mertens said the random selection process will ensure balanced input from a variety of sources. “If you have something that's related to agriculture and you're looking for a specific level of expertise, then you would look for people who could fulfill that level of expertise,” he said. “But in general just to get general comment and general ideas, it would be from the larger body and it would be random selection.” A report prepared by County clerk Victoria Leskie submitted to committee of the whole last week says there is added benefit for both residents and the municipality under the new program. The municipality will have a new way of gathering public input and participation and will provide individuals with a greater understanding of local government, the report says. “The community will benefit by allowing more citizens to become informed about issues, strategies and/or plans and in general become more knowledgeable about local government,” the report says. In exchange for their participation participants will be provided with “a comprehensive orientation and ongoing information and education” about the municipality. The report says the program is unique among municipalities because of the unlimited and unrestricted nature of the citizen participation involved and because of the random selection process for specific projects and issues. “Initially the idea was

presented as an alternative to the sub-committee system (advisory and ad hoc committees). Council and public comment identified reluctance to take this step, at least until the new approach proved successful,” the report says. “As a result it has been created as an enhancement to the subcommittee system.” Mertens said any time there is access to a broader base of experience and broader input, it leads to better decisions. He said that goes both for committees and for council. “That's really what the objective is — information that's coming to council for council to make a decision and the more thorough that is, the more complete that is, and the more balanced that is from every direction, the better able is council to make those decisions,” Mertens said. Council will have the option of referring matters or seeking resident participation if it is determined to be a benefit to the topic at hand. If council approves the program, a project plan would be developed and would include the development of intake process and timing, monitoring and evaluation methods, identification of budget and other methods. The goal would be to launch the program in 2013. As for financial implications, the report says existing citizen engagement initiatives are incorporated into specific project budgets and that would be expected to continue. Where it can't it would be included in the departmental operating budget. Initial and additional annual advertising, promotion and orientation costs are estimated at approximately $3,000.

Selecting plants that can tolerate and resist drought

This has certainly been a challenging year for gardeners. First the long warm spells in very early spring followed by the blast of cold that set gardens back and now extreme heat with no rain in sight. This is a very good time to take out our gardening journals and make some notes of plants to put in this fall and next spring that can tolerate or even resist drought. Drought-resistant and drought-tolerant plants are often referred to as the same thing, but they’re not. A drought tolerant plant can tolerate a period of time without water. A droughtresistant plant has mechanisms that allow it to live for very long periods without water – think plants that live in the desert. So, all drought resistant plants are drought tolerant but not all drought tolerant plants are drought resistant. Drought-resistant plants have characteristic such as aromatic foliage which is the essential oil of the plan which acts like a suntan lotion for the plant. Thyme, sage and lavender are examples. They may have hairy foliage such as lamb’s

ear or very small leaves such as potentilla and baby’s breath or they may have a waxy coating on their leaves such as sedum. Some plants have silvery or gray foliage caused by layers of white hairs on the leaf surface which reduce water loss by reflecting the sun’s rays and holding moisture. Examples would include salvia and artemesia. They may have fleshy leaves that store water such as cactus and sedum. Drought tolerant plants share many characteristics

columbine, spurge, ajuga, lamb’s ear, artemisia. pasque flower, and ornamental grasses just to name a few. Eventually all plants need water. When you see a wilted plant, give it a drink but do be sure to water it deeply and infrequently to discourage the roots from turning up to the surface. If you are looking for something garden related but are trying to keep away from heavy gardening chores in the heat, you should come by the newly renovated gardens at Macaulay House and admire the work of some Master Gardeners and other volunteers who have spent many busy hours there getting the gardens into shape. They are harvesting fruit now and making it into jam. Renowned gardener, Marjorie Harris will be making an appearance at the Regent on Saturday, July 21 at 11 a.m.. Marjorie is the gardening columnist for the Globe and Mail and the editor of Gardening Life magazine. She is not only an expert gardener but an entertaining and interesting speaker as well. Tickets are $10 and benefit the County of Prince Edward Public Library and Archives. I hope to see you there.

with drought resistant plants and additionally generally have large fleshy fibrous roots or long tap roots that reach deep into the soil to collect water and store moisture that, when established, enable them to withstand periods of prolonged drought. When establishing drought-tolerant plants, you should be sure that the planting site has the proper soil conditions to allow for deep root development. The first year requires consistent watering so the plant can send its roots deep into the soil. Perennials that grow in drought conditions do not need a lot of fertilizer and do best when they receive nutrients from natural sources such as manure or compost. Perennials should be planted away from trees and shrubs so they do not compete for water. Drought tolerant and drought resistant perennials include purple coneflower, marguerite daisy, yarrow, butterflyweed, sage, lavender, sedum, coreopsis, false indigo, red valerian, gaillardia, hardy gazania, flax, penstemon, poppy, evening primrose,

Music and the smell of sizzling burgers on the grill permeated the air outside of Picton Sobeys on Saturday — it was a barbecue with a social conscience. The barbecue was being held by Picton Sobeys with proceeds going to support the County of Prince Edward Public Library. Picton Sobeys owner Jamie Yeo said he jumped at the chance to help out after being approached by the library. “Any time we can help out the community, we try to do something,” said Yeo. Aside from selling hamburgers and hot dogs outside, cashiers were also asking customers for cash contributions inside. Customers who contributed $2 to support the library had their names written on a leaflet with the statement “I support literacy and lifelong learning in my community” and posted in the window. Yeo said he is always willing to use the resources at his disposal to help out a good cause, noting the store is also a regular contributor to Hospice and the Air Cadets. “It's a privilege to operate a business in this community so I like to help

She said the money would got toward marking necessary improvements to the libraries and increasing the collection of books. She said the money would es-

Renaud said the library has more fundraising events coming up including a presentation from Marjorie Harris on July 21 at 11 a.m. at the Regent Theatre. Renaud said the library is also looking for opportunities to partner with other organizations wherever it can. “We know it is a tight time and we're doing everything we can to be able to offer programs to the community,” she said.

She said the support from the community and from Yeo was greatly appreciated. “Really we couldn't have hoped for more,” she said. Renaud said the library printed 500 leaflets and within an hour more than 200 had been purchased and placed in the window. She said in a time when budgets are getting tighter, it's more important than ever to support the libraries. “We're all very conscious of how much the li-
