Hospice supporters want their voices to be heard Nearly 250 people attend meeting, back call for community membership provisions ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

Close to 250 people gathered Monday for a tear-jerking, emotion-charged public meeting called by Hospice Prince Edward volunteers to share their concerns about the future of the service. For two hours, a volunteers, donors, and community members met at the Prince Edward Community Centre to talk through their issues about with association’s accountability and transparency with the public as well as the role volunteers are being asked to play within its Downes Avenue residential centre. In the end, by a unanimous vote, they called for a strong encouragement to have the board restore the community membership provision it had in its bylaws prior to 2013 that would make all active volunteers and donors eligible for membership, including voting rights at general and special meetings of the Hospice corporation and foundation. Pat Dye was one of four volunteers nominated by their peers to address the issues, which came to a head at the start of June with news that executive director Nancy

Parks resigned her post. She said there has been some growing uneasiness in the volunteer ranks since late 2014. “Over the years, there has been great teamwork within the Prince Edward hospice group, right through the venture of creating the residential hospice. It was unique, a pilot project made possible by the

generous spirit of the whole community,” she said. “However, toward the end of 2014, volunteers were given some uneasiness. There had been no annual general meeting, no statements — financial or general reports — no plan for the future, and we barely knew who was on the board.” After years of membership being open to volunteers,

donors, and interested members of the public, Dye said at some point in 2014 “all members except the board were effectively cut adrift from Hospice Prince Edward.” Further troubling, she said, was that at some point in the new year the provision of 24/7 professional care at the residential home by nurses and PSWs was reduced in some

cases to 20-hour days. In some cases, that left volunteers or family members alone in times of medical crisis. She said Parks had hired a PSW using Hospice funds to cover those times, however, that spending was curtailed and Hospice was told that it could not hire additional staff beyond those contracted by the South East Community Care Access Cen-

tre (SE CCAC). Patients weren’t being admitted to the home, rumours abounded, and eventually Parks resigned. Dye said the volunteers sought to meet the Hospice Prince Edward board, but were rebuffed in their requests. After Hospice Prince Edward and the CCAC issued a joint statement about volunteer training and their path forward, they did have a closed-door meeting with volunteers. Dye said the volunteers did not feel their issues were addressed, though representation from the board and the CCAC managed to ask their own questions. Dye said she was hopeful members of the public could find the means to “return Hospice to its sharing culture within the community and maintain those good relations with the CCAC and the LHIN.” Former Hospice president Mark Larratt-Smith spoke about how the separation of the public from Hospice’s membership came to pass. He indicated that in November 2013, the board replaced the bylaws he helped adopt in 2010 with new ones. The membership provision in those bylaws was changed to read “Members of the corporation shall consist only of the persons who are from time to time members of the board.”

Representatives create shortlist of options for restructuring efforts Four plans dealing with council size, ward boundaries selected members to 13, plus a mayor. Bloomfield would be combined with Hallowell and the ward would elect two councillors. The plan would also see Sophiasburgh's representation reduced to one councillor. Thompson said the plan improves representation by population with nominal changes to ward boundaries. Mooney's N.E.W. Plan would see a three-ward system put in place with a North ward consisting of Ameliasburgh and Sophiasburgh, an East ward consisting of Picton, North Marysburgh, South Marysburgh, and

Council has narrowed down the list of potential changes to ward boundaries and council size to four options. John Thompson's Plan 13, a plan from resident Angus Ross titled the Equality Plan, Gary Mooney's N.E.W. Plan and the status quo were selected as the options requiring additional debate following a lengthy discussion at a special committee-of-thewhole meeting last week. Thompson's Plan 13 would see council reduced by two

Athol, and a West ward consisting of Hallowell, Bloomfield, Wellington, and Hillier. Mooney said his plan is flexible and could see the three wards elect five, four, three, or two councillors each plus a mayor. He said the urban centres would be divided among the three wards and representation by population would be improved. Ross's plan may have been the most radical of those presented to council. The Equality Plan would see each current ward represented by one councillor plus the mayor for a council of 11 members. However, the value of each councillor's vote at meetings would be tied to the number of current permanent residents in the ward. The vote would be expressed as a percentage of the total population of the county. Ross said this proposal increases representation by population, reduces council size, and preserves the current ward boundaries. There was no shortage of options as councillors had 18 different submissions to debate at the meeting. Mayor Robert Quaiff said it was good to see council narrow down some options. He said these plans may or may not work, but at least there is some direction moving forward. “We're going to have some open public meetings for consultation, which is what I really wanted to do in the first place and I stressed that during the campaign,” he said. Any process to review or change the size of council must have the have buy-in from the residents of the county, he said.

OPTIONS NARROWED Mayor Robert Quaiff discusses the issue of council size in this April file photo. Councillors voted last week to narrow the list of options to alter the size of council. A meeting for further discussion is slated for July 16. (Chad Ibbotson/Gazette staff)

“We're at the first baby steps of making progress in that way,” he said. Quaiff said this process is important, not just because of the potential changes, but also because of the possibility of another Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) challenge. “The thing that I was a little bit fearful of is remaining at the status quo and doing nothing and then that takes council's ability away to make a decision, and that opens us up to an OMB appeal,” he said. “That is never a good thing because then someone from outside of Prince Edward County makes a decision for all of those who live here.” Quaiff said there will always be a certain amount of fear that an appeal could come forward if nothing changes. However, he said at least the message has been sent that council is reviewing the situation. “Hopefully at the end of the day something will come of it,” he said. The mayor's proposed two-ward system with 10 councillors — five elected in each ward and a mayor elected at large — didn't receive significant support at the

meeting. “There were some plans that met certain criteria that suited me, but obviously that didn't suit the majority of council. This a democratic process and it spoke volumes tonight,” he said. He said he does have some concerns with the plans that have been chosen to move forward. “We'll take what we have and we'll refine it, we'll have some more discussion and then we'll start taking those plans out to the public and see what they have to say,” Quaiff said. A strong contingent of councillors felt the status quo must be an option when presenting the plans to the public. Quaiff said he was frustrated by the level of discussion with the status quo and with options which wouldn't result in significant change. “Eliminating one or two council members doesn't do anything and it's not going to garner support, I can tell you that — just based on past history,” he said. “What's the sense in going through all this exercise to eliminate one or two positions.” Councillor Treat Hull said while it's important to present

the status quo as an option, it's not the best choice. “I believe it has to be on the list, not because it's a good choice — or maybe even a viable choice at the OMB — but in fairness to the population. It resonates with a lot of people,” he said. “It needs to be out there for discussion, not because I support it as the best option.” There were those who continued to speak out against reducing council size or altering representation at all. Councillor Dianne O'Brien said she reviewed all the options, but didn't see any advantage to reducing the size of council. “I believe the taxpayers of the county deserve all the ears, all the eyes, all the feet on the ground working for them,” she said. “I also believe the taxpayers now enjoy knowing their councillor and we're envied by a lot of municipalities.” She said she doesn't believe the OMB would impose a change because the structure that is in place today was approved by the province. She said reducing council size would result in increased workload for each councillor without saving substantial dollars. Councillor Steven Graham concurred. “I don't think (O'Brien) could have said it any better,” he said. The options will be explored in further detail at a special committee-of-thewhole meeting on July 16 at 6 p.m. At the July 16 meeting councillors are expected to review the shortlisted proposals and identify the preferred options before moving on to a public consultation process. This process is expected to take place in September and will involve nine public information sessions as well as an opportunity for the public to participate in a survey to identify their preferred option.

Another class of students fostered by the local secondary school will take flight after culmination activities took place Thursday. Approximately 120 young people took part in the annual PECI graduation ceremonies at the Prince Edward Community Centre. For the graduates, the evening was a chance to reflect on the past four years at PECI and chance to dream about the next stage of their life as they focus on post-secondary pursuits. In his final formal address to graduates, PECI principal Darren McFarlane spoke of taking that next step and never being satisfied with the median. “I urge you to swing for the fence every day and never settle for less than you are capable of. Good enough is never good enough – you are entering a highly competitive world where 50 per cent should never be the goal,” McFarlane said. “Always approach tasks with a growth mindset, grit and perseverance and I promise it will pay off. You will achieve exceedingly beyond that which you can imagine.” McFarlane praised the community leaders and businesses that have supported the school time and again and especially those that willingly put forward monetary gifts for PECI's graduate awards program. “It has been said that it

take for granted the time you have together.” Valedictorian Brett Abram was a familiar voice for the students having announced sports results on during PECI morning announcements. Abram said it seemed just recently that he and his fellow classmates tepidly took their first steps at PECI. “It feels like just yesterday we were entering the hallowed halls of PECI for the first time, standing in circles so big we blocked hallways, and never going anywhere alone because PECI looked like a large scary maze,” Abram said. But students soon figured out the maze and got into a regular routine, supported by the support staff and members of the educational staff who played an integral role in student success. “From helping us to achieve success in the classroom, to supporting our extracurricular activities, to just being people we could

Now, Hillier's emerging wine several business owners along the side road are looking to put themselves in a position to capitalize. Happy Birthday better Last Thursday, a group of 13 businesses celebrated the launch of the web site clossonroad.ca, the first in a series of moves to help with the branding and promotion of their piece of the county. "It has kind of developed over time," said clossonroad.ca chair Ted Pickering. "There were 13 of us who realized we had a have a destination within a great destination area and we Please come and join wanted to promote ourour family to wish our selves. We can give visitors are very diverse experience mom and grandmother right on Closson Road."

operation at Chetwyn Farms, or neighbouring Prince Edward County Lavender. "Until you get on Closson Road, you don't realize what is really here. We know that people are stopping and discovering different offerings, but the trick is to let people know what we're offering before they even get here." Pickering said organizers planted a seed for collective marketing during the winter months and surveyed them to determine interest levels.

A first step was in raising money to put the web site online. It now serves as a portal to link visitors to maps and business web sites. It also offers a chance to search for lodging along the road. In the future, Pickering added the hope is for the associated businesses to operate like a Business Improvement Area and collect regular dues to work for the betterment of those on the road. That will come in the form of event promotion â&#x20AC;&#x201D; bringing collaboration for

individual events like Prince Edward County Lavender's festival this coming weekend or some staple events at the wineries, but also creating new initiatives like a possible street festival for Canada's 150th anniversary in 2017. The association also plans to play an advocacy and liaison role with the county, working on improving road conditions and realizing projects to beautify the area and to improve navigation with a focus on improved signage for wayfaring. A smart phone application is also being planned. "We're working to do things as a group," he said. "Without exception, everyone involved indicated a willingness to work together." Pickering also said he's had some communication with the County's community development director Neil Carbone about working with the municipality on street initiatives and in working toward its objectives in a manner that's complementary to work enhancing the overall visitor experience. He said the talks were positive with Carbone expressing a willingness to support the businesses. He said the collaboration can help the county attract more visitors and a positive impact can also be felt elsewhere, like in neighbouring

Wellington. On clossonroad.ca now, there is a link encouraging visitors to explore the village and its dining options. "Small business, in general, supports small business," Pickering said. Asked if he knew of any other rural road that has done something similar that his group could study, Pickering said in their research, they found a number of areas but no single roads. The founding members of the not-for-profit organization include The Old Third, Buckthorn Studios, SHED-Chetwyn Farms, Broken Stone Vineyard, Gravel Hill Vineyard, Closson Chase, Prince Edward County Lavender, Lacey Estates, Carol's B&B, The Grange, Closson Inn, and a number of associate members. Pickering also said he expects between three to five new businesses to open and possibly join the group within the next year. Asked about the possibility of expanding to include neighbouring businesses from other roads in wine country, Pickering said it could be a consideration. "I wouldn't rule out that as we figure out what we are going to do, that we'll have room for that sort of expansion," he said. "I would never say never, but right now our priority is Closson Road."

COMMENTARY It’s time for Hospice board, public to move ahead together

WHILE Monday’s public meeting about Hospice Prince Edward delved a lot into past occurrences that turned one of the county’s biggest feel-good stories in recent years into one of distrust and exclusion, it also offered a path ahead to the future. It is a path of inclusion and transparency, one that demands the best palliative care services for our neighbours and families. Those nearly 200 people who did attend — and it is indeed regrettable those in the position of authority for the foundation and residential hospice decided not to be present — discovered why this particular issue will not die and why it is bigger than the individual personalities at hand. To be clear, this is an initiative people from all walks of life bought into with their time, their money, and their knowledge. From Day 1, they were sold a vision that everyone was doing this together and that they would have a feeling of ownership in the development of the care centre on Downes Avenue. Given that air of belonging, it appears unfathomable how Hospice Prince Edward could change its bylaws midstream to exclude those individuals from that membership and could make them feel removed from the goings-on of a movement they helped build. It must have felt like a slap in the face. The sad thing is that it doesn’t appear there has been full disclosure as to why those bylaws were changed. Did the board at that time feel there was a threat of some entity taking over those hard-earned community dollars or changing the model agreed upon? If so, whom? And why? Would it not have been more prudent to galvanize the community to fight alongside Hospice? One suspects with confidentiality agreements in place, that murky picture may not become much clearer in the days ahead. The trick, as the volunteer organizers of Monday’s meeting alluded to, is to start from this point in time

Stories From Our Past n The second annual camp for Prince Edward County girls was being planned at the Jones farm in Consecon. For the first time, girls from all over the county were expected to attend the week-long event. n The County’s Women’s Institute held its 17th annual year-end banquet. At the banquet, members of the 12 clubs discussed a project to get a public women’s restroom in Picton and organized to accomplish it. n William Lyon Mackenzie King’s federal government decided to leave the Canadian flag alone after protests were staged encouraging them to leave the flag as it was.

n Two men drowned in Wellington as 17-year-old Ernest Callow made a valiant attempt to rescue 35-year-old Harry Smith, but ultimately Smith pulled his rescuer under and they were both submerged under 15 feet of water amidst the weeds. Resuscitation was attempted for four hours, but it ultimately proved unsuccessful. n Picton town council decided it could not lease out the old power house dock for George Hart’s coal loading operation as it was not certain it had the authority to do so. n Spontaneous combustion started a fire that levelled two large barns on an Ameliasburgh Centre farm.

is to rally supporters and start today to build trust and bring community members back to the fold. The few remaining members of the board would be wise to work with them in creating this clean slate. With a foundation of co-operation, involvement, and transparency the emerging palliative care leadership in this community can move ahead with a clear conscience.

Perhaps, through such a public needs assessment process, the board and its community partners can explain the funding model for residential hospice in more detail — many at Monday’s meeting couldn’t explain how money flows — and how being linked with the LHIN and CCAC to provide funding and care is of advantage. Also, perhaps independent residential hospices like those in Madoc, Bancroft, and Renfrew can be studied for their benefits and their pitfalls.

Seguin chronicles eastern Lake Ontario lighthouses in new book Local author researched the story behind each lighthouse being built, some a direct result of shipwrecks JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER

For this corner anyway, there's always been something romantic and intriguing about Prince Edward County's lighthouses and their keepers from yesteryear. Those bygone days when shipping on Lake Ontario was a vital industrial pursuit that was profitable and precarious and those manning the big ships entrusted their lives to both the operators and designers of lighthouses that either called ships in for safe harbour or warned them away from deadly shoals and shores. Solitary men or families would spend up to 300 consecutive days living on spits of land and near craggy shores and their daily efforts would save 19th Century mariners from a watery grave in the 70-mile stretch that was so filled with rocky reefs, sandy shoals and frequent storms that it was monikered “The graveyard of Lake Ontario.” For history buffs and people enamoured with early shipping on Lake Ontario, Marc Seguin's For Want of a Lighthouse:Building the Lighthouses of Eastern Lake Ontario 1828-1914 fills in the cracks of with details of all the lighthouses that were built, maintained and ultimately (for most) destroyed in the wake of technological advancements. Nearly 100 people attended Seguin's book launch at

Mariner's Museum Sunday afternoon to kick-off a comprehensive look at this region's lighthouses that was nearly three years in the making. “When I first started, I figured this would be about 150 pages focussed on the lighthouses in this area,” Seguin told the Gazette. “ But as I researched it, I started to find more and more information about what was an integrated network of lighthouses

and those neighbouring ones were difficult to ignore.” Using a plethora of sources including archives in Ottawa, Kingston, Picton as well as online databases that include digitized historical documents, Seguin has crafted a bible of lighthouse information that includes press clippings, pictures, graphics and detailed stories. “As I researched each of these lighthouses I found each have their own unique

Hospice president resigns Tuesday morning

Hospice Prince Edward Foundation president Linda Middleton announced her resignation from the board via an e-mail to members of the local media Tuesday morning. A board member since 2011, Middleton said when she was asked to step in as chair this January for a short period of time, she under-

stood the board was becoming a governance board and the duties would be light. She wrote that “after careful consideration I have decided to step away from Hospice Prince Edward Foundation and Corporation” and stated “At this time in my life I do not feel that I have further time to commit to reorganizing

these current issues.” Middleton said she “does believe some good strong bridges have been built with CCAC over the past few months and that they will continue to be a supportive part of our palliative care organization.”

story, and their own reason for being built, whether it was a direct result of a certain shipwreck or another reason,” Seguin said. Details concerning the contractors and costs and even the keepers and their lot in life are noted in the 500 plus-page work. Like the lighthouses themselves, each of the light keepers have a story. Some of them had families while others were loners and lived a solitary existence. Keeping the lights on to protect and warn mariners was a full time job during the shipping season that generally lasted up to 300 days. “The light keeper would go on duty at 8 p.m., light up the whale oil lamps and watch them all night and this could be up to 15 lamps,” Seguin explained. “Come day break, the light keeper would have all sorts of duties including cleaning the glass and reflectors of smoke and soot as well as other maintenance duties. If it was a nice day, the light keeper could catch a few hours sleep on a dark, stormy days, the lamp would have been lit the whole day long. It was an important job, helping to save lives and make sure ships are guided to safe harbour or away from a shoal.” A job that with technology, satellites and global positioning systems, doesn't exist and led to the dismantling or mothballing of most of the lighthouses. Seguin has a passion to

see the preservation of these structures as a standing testament to the lives they saved and factor they played in the creation of Canada. After detailing construction and operation of these lighthouses, Seguin tackles their demise in the book's final chapter 'The 11th Hour.' Naturally, Seguin has a passion to see those few lighthouses still standing to be preserved and he called the Government of Canada's announcement in May to fund the conservation of the Scotch Bonnet Lighthouse and quarters and the Prince Edward Point (or Point Traverse) Lighthouses “a great start. He has a passion to see the preservation of those structures. “My hope is this just the beginning of a journey to save our remaining lighthouses. The way I think of it is that remembering our past is the only way we can really fully appreciate what it took to build our country” Seguin said. “These lighthouses were a key element. They supported the ships that were essential for transporting goods and people all over the interior of Canada. Without out them, our country would look a lot different.” The book is available at Books & Company and the Mariner's Museum and also online at Chapters.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Macdonald too flawed to celebrate with statue in his honour

LOW A mix of sun and cloud

is anticipated Sunday with no probability of precipitation.

LETTERS POLICY

The Picton Gazette welcomes letters to the editor of 500 words or less. The letters may be edited for clarity, legal ramifications, length or general taste at the editor’s discretion. We also reserve the right to refuse to publish submitted letters for the same reasons. Letters published do not necessarily reflect the views of the Gazette, its publisher, or staff. Submitted items become property of the Gazette.

The Sir John A. Macdonald statue unveiled on Canada Day on Picton’s Main Street is said to be a gift to Prince Edward County. Whether one thinks so or not, we will see it everyday as we walk downtown. My only hope is that it will be a reminder of more than intended. I hope it sheds light on Macdonald’s racism and colonialism, and provides an opportunity to reflect on the tragic truth. I hope it is a reminder of the inhumane treatment of indigenous people under Macdonald and his government, the results of which live on to this day. Many say that John A. was simply a man of his

time, when racism was common (as it tragically remains today), but I’m not willing to allow this excuse to gloss over the atrocities. While it’s important to examine both the good and bad of our past, I reject venerating the man largely responsible for this darkest part of our history. History, in fact, that has been recognized by the recently released Truth and Reconciliation Commission Report as cultural genocide. The report provides horrific evidence that the legacy of residential schools, under Macdonald as Minister of Indian Affairs, was a key element in the government-led genocide. In Clearing the Plains – Disease, Politics of Starva-

tion and the loss of Aboriginal Life, the award-winning and meticulously researched book by Charles Daschuk, we learn that Macdonald was responsible for the systematic starving of indigenous people to advance his vision of Canada. “The strategy was cruel but effective,” writes Daschuk. “The government was unapologetic for its use of starvation to complete the occupation of reserves…” When indigenous people of the Plains dared to resist, punishment by Macdonald’s government was swift. Hangings were made public and John A. “acknowledged the political importance of the executions, which,”

Daschuk writes, quoting Macdonald, “ought to convince the Red Man that the White Man governs.” Residential school students were brought to witness the hangings to drive the point home. Macdonald’s white supremacist stance extended to his exploitation of the over 17,000 Chinese people whose labour built the railways. Macdonald justified taking their right to vote from them or anyone "of Mongolian or Chinese race" in the Electoral Franchise Act, a move he later called "my greatest achievement." Prize winning historian and University of Ottawa professor Timothy J. Stanley wrote that Macdonald believed, “Chinese exclusion

was necessary…” and that if they could vote, “they might enforce those Asiatic principles, those immoralities . . . the eccentricities which are abhorrent to the Aryan race and Aryan principles, on this House.” For all the political successes credited to him, Macdonald remains far too flawed to be celebrated, much less honoured with another statue. Power and money rule, however, and a statue we have. My hope is that we can at least use it to present and learn from historical realities as we strive to build a better world.

that they are happy with the service and selection, but there were lessons to be learned as well. In smaller branches, some respondents commented that the offerings are sometimes stale. It helps to understand that the library uses a floating collection â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that is, items remain where they are returned and not â&#x20AC;&#x153;routed homeâ&#x20AC;? where they were originally checked out. This is a way to stretch library budgets,

Other suggestions that have been made to improve the library include the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;warehouse modelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;living room in the libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; model. These two concepts are connected in that, by warehousing parts of the collection that rarely circulate but need to remain available, such as some literary classics and many non-fiction titles, the library creates much needed space for people to sit and enjoy spending time in the library. The warehouse titles are still available in the online catalogue and can be ordered and delivered to any branch. This concept has been implemented in both the Picton and Wellington branches of the library and is being well received. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The more we can do to encourage use of the library and increasing circulation, the more robust our communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public library will be and the community will be better served,â&#x20AC;? says Sweet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I welcome all suggestions to work toward that goal.â&#x20AC;?

as books do not need to be shipped from branch to branch unnecessarily. Ideally, it will also keep a collection fresher because people will be able to borrow and return to different branches. That being the case, however, the collection is only as good as the amount it is being used. To address this concern, the library is experimenting with supplementally shuffling titles, and moving the collection around among some of the smaller branches. There were also questionnaire responses that asked for more world history books, biographies and more DVDs, specifically, documentary films. These suggestions are being incorporated into purchases. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Working to stretch the libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book budget, it is often a question of whether we should buy more of the popular titles so that multiple copies are available of a current bestseller, or whether we instead use the funds to create greater diversity within the collection,â&#x20AC;? says Library chief executive officer Barbara Sweet.

The library recently undertook a short informal survey in each branch asking library users if they are finding what they are looking for at the library and, if not, what would they like to see on the shelves. The questionnaire also invited suggestions as to how the library might serve them better. The point of the exercise was to help understand why circulation numbers are on the decline and what might be done to address this. Of course, many factors have been impacting library book circulation numbers across the country for a number of years now, including the ease of obtaining e-books online at little cost. However, a strong library collection, with books of interest to all with a wide breadth of subjects and genres represented, is the backbone of a public library. This is why the library endeavours to create and maintain a collection that well serves the entire population of the county, while at the same time promoting literacy among children and youth. Results of the questionnaire were overwhelmingly positive with most replying

Karlo Estates launches Gilmour wines Former Leafs captain takes active role in selecting varietals for new line

WHATTAM’S COMMUNITY CALENDAR The Community Calendar is donated as a public service to our community by The Whattam Funeral Home, 33 Main St., West, Picton (613-476-2450)

JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER

There's a Killer line of wines being offered at Karlo Estates. The Gilmour line was unveiled at the winery north of Wellington Saturday afternoon with NHL Hockey Hall of Famer Doug Gilmour meeting and greeting wine aficionados and fans as a part of large launch party that featured Kingston-based rock band The Glorious Sons. A bordeaux, a rosé and and a white are all available at the winery and were big hits among the hundreds of revellers that took part in the event. The red Bordeaux entitled Corazon (Spanish for heart) is expected to be on LCBO shelves across Ontario later this fall. Karlo Estate's Sherry Karlo agreed that there are new wines released in Prince Edward County every season. None of them have been developed or carry the name of a living hockey legend. “It's been a wonderful partnership since the very beginning and Doug and the partners really know how to do business,” Karlo said. A Longtime friend of Gilmour's, Scott Sutherland was entrusted with finding the right winery and the right winemaker when the former pro and Stanley Cup champion decided he wanted to get involved with vintages. “Doug's talked about get-

ting into the wine industry for many years and asked me to find a really good winemaker and great winery,” Sutherland explained. In the Spring of 2014, we fell in love with the facility and Richard Karlo and Sherry Martin.” Sutherland stressed Gilmour's involvement went way beyond an endorsement and lending his name to a product. This is a business venture, not some sort of celebrity slapping his name on a bottle,” Sutherland said “Doug has been involved right from the beginning from the choosing the varietals and the percentages all the way to the finished product.” Karlo explained Corazon is the first to launch provincially because Gilmour and her late partner Richard were Bordeaux lovers. “It gets its name because Doug was the heart and soul

of every team he played on,” Martin added. The effort is a classic meritage of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The white vintage is called Orus which means captain and is a combination of Chardonnay, Riesling and Pinot Grigio. Finally, Maddison, named after Gilmour's first daughter, is a rosé that blends Pinot grigio and Pinot noir and is very light and dry. These releases mark the first large scale launches since Karlo passed away in the fall of 2014. When asked what she thought the celebrated winemaker would think about the finished product that already has the wine world buzzing, an emotional Martin said “I think he'd be very proud of what we have done here.”

New barrier curbs, boulevards, sidewalks approved for Roger and Henry streets Councillors debate inclusion of sidewalk repairs CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

New sidewalks are coming to Roger and Henry streets in Picton. Council approved a motion Tuesday to increase the scope of work at the site to include the construction of new barrier curbs, boulevards, and sidewalks on Roger and Henry streets. The additional work comes in at

an estimated price of $183,060 (including HST) with the funds being allocated from the municipality's reserve for roads construction. Councillor Bill Roberts supported the move. “It's an opportunity, we've done the analysis in the 2014 needs study, it's in poor condition, it's a connectivity gap, it's a long-term cost saving — it just makes sense,” he said. Councillor Jim Dunlop also supported the motion, saying he thought the sidewalks would have been included from the begin-

ning. “We're doing construction there on the road, we have a deteriorating sidewalk on Roger Street, it just makes sense,” he said. There were those who weren't supportive of the extra cost. Councillor Janice Maynard said she wouldn't support the sidewalk work without knowing if it is a priority through the sidewalk needs study. “I'm not going to support it just on the fact that, although we have a listing of the condition of our side-

walks, we do not have yet the listing of how we're going to prioritize them,” she said. “…Seems to me it's somewhat unfair to the other sidewalks that may be on an equal footing.” Councillor Jamie Forrester also shared concern about taking more money from reserves and said a disproportionate amount of money has been spent in urban areas of the municipality recently. “In the last three weeks we've spent probably over half a million dollars in the urban areas and maybe

some of this money has to start going to the rural areas,” he said. A report presented to council at the meeting says since the underground service replacement work began, the municipality has received increasing requests from residents to replace the entire Roger Street sidewalk and install curbs and sidewalk on Henry Street. The report says Roger Street has an old narrow sidewalk that was given a condition rating of poor in the County's 2014 sidewalk needs study, while Henry

Street currently has no sidewalk and was identified as a connectivity gap in the sidewalk network. Engineering, development, and works commissioner Robert McAuley said the sidewalk needs study identifies the Roger Street sidewalk as a priority. “We have a study now that clearly identifies this as a priority need and we're working in the same area,” he said. With the construction of the sidewalks the current on-street shoulder parking will be eliminated.

The Picton Gazette Motion seen as municipality’s only move to be able to limit renewables developments

Council will not offer support for FIT 4 projects CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

Renewable energy developers seeking municipal support under the FIT 4 program may not find any in Prince Edward County. Committee of the whole voted in a favour of a motion last week to eliminate the application for municipal support resolutions and not entertain any projects seeking municipal support resolutions for the FIT 4 program. The motion will still have to be approved by council at their July 28 meeting. The FIT 4 application window is expected to open in late September. Under the program renewable energy developers can apply to the municipality for a support resolution which gives the project priority points, increasing the chances of being selected to receive a FIT contract through the Ontario Power Authority (OPA). The FIT program is open to projects with electricity generating capacity greater than 10 kW and up to 500 kW. Larger projects are now approved through a competitive bidding process called Large Renewable Procurement (LRP).

‘I’m willing to take my chances with it because nothing else — absolutely nothing else — has taken place in favour of the municipalities.’ ROBERT QUAIFF MAYOR

The discussion was prompted when staff brought forward a recommendation to hold a special council meeting in July to accommodate all developers seeking council support resolutions for the FIT 4 process. Much of the concern revolved around solar projects. Resident Carol PageHeyding spoke to councillors at the meeting, saying the solar projects have proliferated through the county. She asked council to oppose large-scale solar projects that are planned for sites close to her home in Sophiasburgh. “This project will have negative impacts on our neighbourhood and we want to protect it from further industrialization to pre-

serve its rural nature,” she said. Councillor Steve Ferguson put forward the amendment not to consider giving any support resolutions for renewable projects. “I don't think I exaggerate when I say people are fed up and fit to be tied,” he said. While the motion would only deal with relatively smaller projects between 10kW and 500 kW, Ferguson said council has to come to a resolution. “If we don't come to some resolution, these companies will just make oneacre projects and spot them all over the place,” he said. “They will do that because the money is so good for their organizations.” Mayor Robert Quaiff agreed. He said while he's not sure the priority points system works, it's the only option the municipality has to limit renewables development. “I'm willing to take my chances with it because nothing else — absolutely nothing else — has taken place in favour of municipalities,” he said. He said often it seems staff time is wasted when dealing with renewable

developers as they often aren't required to comply with municipal requests. In terms of solar projects, Quaiff said there is a feeling among the public that the county is saturated. This was a concern shared by councillor Kevin Gale, who said Sophiasburgh has had enough with the solar developments. “It's the old saying: Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me,” he said. “We've been fooled too many times by this industry.” There were some who didn't want to close the door completely to the projects. Councillor Bill Roberts said he'd rather strengthen the County's position. “My preference would be a case-by-case basis that's very tough-minded and to continue to send a toughminded message to the solar and wind producers,” he said. Councillor Jamie Forrester said he's not ready to rule out every renewable development. “I don't want to be the community that says we're just willing to use up conventional (energy sources),” he said.

Summer at St. Andrew’s Features Concert Series and Art by pARTnership For the third summer in a row, St. Andrew’s is hosting a summer art show in tandem with its concert series. This year’s show features the work of pARTnership, a group of artists who meet once a week in Picton to paint.

If you have a few hours to spare, consider getting involved with Community Care in our efforts to help seniors live at home. Your contribution of time (large or small) will be greatly

appreciated by the seniors that live in this county. While all our services are important, our current focus is on Meals on Wheels throughout the county. Community Care

believes in “the freedom and dignity of choice; the comfort of home; and we have a passion for volunteers.” The programs we offer are called Community Support Services and these services augment the informal family and neighbourhood support many seniors have. We serve the entire County of Prince Edward. Volunteers deliver Meals on Wheels, serve at Seniors Luncheon Socials, visit, walk, drive, shop, help at the reception desk, fundraise, help in the Thrift Shop, fill out forms for seniors, type, telephone, et cetera. We desperately need volunteers to deliver Meals on Wheels in Picton. From pick up of the insulated bags with the meals to when you drop the empty bags back to the meal provider will take you about 1.5 hours. You will have the privilege of taking a hot meal to a senior in their home, handing it to them, and by doing so you will make their life just a little bit easier. Delivering these meals might even change your life. Our volunteers tell us of the satis-

faction they take from seeing the faces of these seniors during the brief encounter they have when they deliver. This program is confidential and dignified. Seniors know that the volunteers keep confidential where they go and who they see. Volunteers know they made a difference each and every time. If you have a few hours to spare call the office and

make an appointment to come in and start the conversation. Our caring staff members all have background and experience in volunteer management and better yet, they all love working with volunteers. Our staff will find a volunteer placement that works with your interests and your schedule. Don’t worry if you travel or have regular commitments, we work around that! Students who need to do their “community service hours” are also encouraged to come into the Community Care office and find out the opportunities that we have available for students. Maybe you need to get your hours done before the end of June so that you can graduate. Why not get your hours done this summer? Please encourage your children or grandchildren to contribute to their community in this way. Bring them in to see us. Stop in at the Community Care office at The Armoury, 206 Main Street, Suite 3A in Picton and start the conversation. We are waiting for your visit.

PECC naming rights deal approved Picton Rotary pays $20,000 to put its mark on hall, electronic sign CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

Council has given its approval to a motion that would see the naming rights of the Prince Edward Community Centre hall sold and the current roadside sign at the community centre removed. The motion was approved in a recorded vote of 10â&#x20AC;&#x201C;3 last Tuesday with councillors Jamie Forrester, David Harrison, and Janice Maynard voting against. The motion accepts a $20,000-sponsorship proposal for the naming rights of the community centre hall from the Rotary Club of Picton and directs staff to include in the 2016 budget an electronic sign for the site. The motion also authorizes staff to continue to market the naming rights of the Prince Edward Community Centre arena. The revenue from the naming rights would go toward the purchase cost of the new sign, which has been estimated at $101,000 including installation, computer software, and the removal of the current sign.

12 S6

The sign will be included in the first draft of the 2016 budget, but will be up for debate again when budget deliberations commence. As proposed the sign would have a net impact on the budget of $26,000 with revenue from the sale of the naming rights offsetting the other $75,000. Councillor Steve Ferguson supported the motion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We're an internationally known community at this point and that sign is an embarrassment,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's been an embarrassment for a long time. We have to get something done.â&#x20AC;? Councillor Kevin Gale again expressed support for the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In any other municipality we'd be fixing it now as opposed to waiting for budget,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tourists coming into town look up and here's this board that's not lit up with holes in it.â&#x20AC;? He noted that while the new sign was left out of last year's budget because the sponsorship requirements weren't met, the existing sign wasn't broken when that decision was made.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The sign wasn't broken, it was still an embarrassment, but it was at least functional,â&#x20AC;? he said. Councillor Janice Maynard brought forward an amendment that would see the project move forward only after the proposed $75,000 in sponsorship is raised. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I'd just hate to spend money that we have no guarantee of getting back,â&#x20AC;? she said. That motion lost in a recorded vote of 7â&#x20AC;&#x201C;6. With the approval of the Rotary sponsorship agreement the service club will pay the municipality $10,000 immediately and $10,000 upon completion of the signage. The club would receive the lifetime naming rights of the hall and would not be charged a fee for use of the hall and kitchen at a maximum of two times per year for the lifetime of the building. The municipality would also pay for signage for the Rotary Club of Picton at the electronic roadside sign, the exterior of the hall's main entrance, and outside the lobby entrance to the hall.

Wellington ships Marco Azzano to Pickering for Austin Washkurak

Dukes acquire veteran goalie JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER

With a young club taking shape in the Wellington for the upcoming season, Dukes coach and general manager Marty Abrams has pulled the trigger on a deal to bring an experienced goalie to the roster of the local Junior A club. The Dukes announced Thursday they had traded forward Marco Azzano to the Pickering Panthers in exchange for goaltender Austin Washkaruk. Both players are 1995-yearbirths and are entering their final season of Jr. A hockey. Azzano was picked up last season from the Whitby Fury and provided an offensive spark for Wellington, notching 19 goals and adding 24 assists for 43 points in 48 regular season games. While those numbers would have likely gone up this coming season, Azzano will be attending post secondary school closer to his home in Courtice and those logistical constraints made his involvement with Wellington this coming season a difficult prospect at best. In return, Wellington picks up Washkaruk, a netminder with with a winning record in every season he has played in the OJHL with exception of last year. Washkaruk started with Cobourg last season as their number one netminder but ended up losing the net to Stefano Durante and wound up being dealt by Cougars to the Panthers who missed the playoffs. In terms of historical goaltending performances on Essroc Centre ice, Washkaruk might have one of the single best so far by a visiting player. His 45-save performance on the final night of the 2013-2014 season as a member of the Mississauga Chargers was otherworldly and punched the Chargers ticket to the postseason. The performance along with a few others stuck out in Abrams' mind as he was making the deal with Pickering. “With Oliver Lafreniere signing in Ottawa, we felt we needed to shore up our goaltending and Austin with

Daniel Potter will be a great tandem for us. There is some great maturity and stability there,” Abrams said. In fact, Oakville native who brings a career .900 save percentage and a goals against average of 3.86 wanted to be a Wellington Duke. “The fact that he wanted to come here and the fact we were looking for some help in net makes the deal a win-win from our standpoint.,” If a deal couldn't be reached, Azzano was prepared to return to Wellington but Abrams said balancing a full college course load with Junior A hockey and living away from home is a tough tightrope to be on. “It's difficult and we've seen it before with guys like (former Dukes) Marc Senecal and Tyler Marble where attending post secondary school and doing it away from home can be so hard, “ Abrams said. “I know Marco definitely enjoyed his time here.” In a separate transaction Sunday, the club announced that Brandon Kosik was leaving the team as part of a threeway deal that saw the forward flipped from Wellington through the Carleton Place Canadians to the Amherst Ramblers of the Maritime Junior Hockey League. In his rookie season, Kosik suited up for 40 games for Wellington, potting three

goals and adding 11 assists. With an eye towards eventually playing Canadian university hockey down east, the move was made to get the slick skating forward playing in front of scouts from those organizations. “He will get better exposure there but this move was also made due to a lack of billets,” Abrams admitted. “We are forced to go with more of a local team and pick players based on where they live and not their skill level.” He added Wellington picked up some billets in Belleville with the OHL Bulls leaving town but there is still a need for billets in the village of Wellington. In other Dukes news, the Belleville Dukes, a Central Development Hockey League team that played all-star clubs from other junior centres in eastern Ontario put the finishing touches on a 26-0-0spring season at a tournament in Ottawa this past weekend. Future Dukes Austin Labelle, Colin Doyle and Shaw Boomhower shouldered the offensive load while blue liners Liam Hunter and Aidan Girduckis were standouts. Goalies Anthony Popovich and Matt Villalta were great in net. “It's a huge stepping stone for those guys,” Abrams said. “They've been the best of the CDHL.”

The Prince Edward Fitness and Aquatics Centre (PEFAC) raising money to help more people access its swimming pool in the future. PEFAC's maintenance director Brian Mellor said the club has received quotations for the installation of a chair lift at the side of the pool that would allow physically challenged swimmers and those unable to navigate ladders to be able to benefit from its swim programs. "We used to have one, the Lester family had a swimming pool chair lift when they had the building," he said. "About 12 years ago it broke and we couldn't afford to either fix it or replace it." Mellor said that lift was secondhand and many of the parts needed to repair it at the time were unavailable. Over the years, as a not-forprofit facility, PEFAC could not find room in its budget for a new lift. The lifts run in excess of $6,000 and they must be imported from the United States. In addition, the design of PEFAC's pool ruled out many models available on the market. "Not all chair lifts will fit. We have to have a large setback of about 20 inches, because we have a large drainage gutter that runs around the pool. That limits the types that will work," he said. PEFAC's general manager Meloni Crandall has sent out a request for quotations. Mellor said the drive this year was precipitated by the generosity shown by the community to some PEFAC endeavours. The Rotary Club of Picton gave $1,000 to help the Swim To Survive program, which teaches the county's Grade 3 students basic swimming skills needed to stay afloat if they happen to fall into the water. The Rotary Club of Wellington offered a $750 donation

to PEFAC's assisted membership program, which offsets costs of accessing the fitness centre for those in financial need. "We're very thankful for the help of the Rotarians and that freed up some of our finances to look at it," he explained, adding it inspired him to approach the Stark Family Fund to seek assistance for the chair lift. He received word in Febuary the legacy fund administered by the Greater Kingston Community Foundation would support the project and earlier this month, PEFAC received a $5,000 donation. Mellor said PEFAC is hoping to raise an additional $3,000 to make the lift a reality. Right now, the only fundraiser going specifically to the project is through a donation jar at the facility's front desk. Those wishing to stage fundraisers or offer larger donations are invited to contact PEFAC. Once the lift is pur-

chased, it will be installed in a permanent location between the life guard stands on the west side of the pool. It's a similar spot to where the original lift was anchored. Mellor said PEFAC hasn't really done a study on how many more people might join the club as a result of the purchase, but indicated he believes some current user groups would benefit. "We partner with the Prince Edward Family Health Team's PEACH program for cardiac health and with Community Living Prince Edward," he said. "We have them in our building every day, but some of their clients haven't been able to swim because they can't get in and out of the pool." He said aquatic aerobics instructors have stated the lift will not negatively impact on their programming and added there might even be an opportunity to create some new aquatic programs in the future.

County may assist with hospital mailings Forsyth wins Governor Generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s medal CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

The Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation may be getting a boost from the municipality over the next three years. Committee of the whole supported a motion last week to consider a special dedicated annual mailing in support of the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation (PECMHF) for 2016â&#x20AC;&#x201C;2018. The motion will still have to be approved by council at their next meeting on July 28 and will be debated further during the 2016 budget process. The motion was put forward by councillor Bill Roberts who said the next three years are critical to the hospital foundation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the early days of this new council we identified healthcare and the hospital as a key priority,â&#x20AC;? he said. While a staff report submitted to the committee last week says past practice has been to resist mailings in utility or tax bills unless directly related to county business, Roberts argued there's nothing more related

to county business than the hospital. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can't think of something more related to the future of the county and to county business than proper healthcare in an aging community,â&#x20AC;? he said. Councillor David Harrison said he understands there will be a cost involved, but reiterated the hospital is crucial. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a critical issue to the people of the county,â&#x20AC;? he said. He said the mailings are one place the municipality can help the foundation and the critical nature of the issue justifies the cost. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need all the help we can get to keep good medical services in the county,â&#x20AC;? he said. The motion came following a staff recommendation not to include any thirdparty information in municipal mailings. That recommendation came in response to a 2014 deputation requesting council to consider including foundation mailings as part of municipal utility and tax bills. The report says the addition of third-party informa-

tion would increase the weight of each municipal mailing, resulting increased costs. The 2015 budget includes $70,000 for postage alone. The report says if third-part mailings are included, it could cost an additional $20,000 just in postage. Corporate services and finance commissioner Susan Turnbull said the municipality doesn't have the money to accommodate extra mailings and the cost would have to come through the tax levy. She said the results of municipal mailings are often disappointing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have proven to be, in our unofficial survey, fairly ineffective,â&#x20AC;? said Turnbull. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People don't read the things we do send them. Three quarters of our phone calls relate to things that just went out in utility bills.â&#x20AC;? She said there are lots of other opportunities to disseminate information including social media and the municipal website. However, the majority of councillors agreed to move the discussion on to the budget process.

Doug Gilmour, known as "Killer" during his illustrious NHL Hall of Fame career, was in the county Saturday to launch his new brand of wine with Karlo Estates owner Sherry Karlo. The weather could do nothing to dampen the spirits of hundreds of people who flocked to Karlo Estates Winery to witness this historic launch. Gilmour spent hours having his picture taken with fans and signing hundreds of bottles (and other memorabilia) of his newly released wine. He explained why he pursued this partnership. “When I first met Richard and his partner Sherry in early 2014, I was so impressed by the calibre of their wines and their bold approach to shaking up the industry. In our own ways, we both defied expectations by putting everything we have into our work, and I was saddened by Richard’s untimely passing late last year. There was no question I would partner with Karlo Estates as they understood the

importance of working together as a team to create something special.” The vineyard rocked to the incredible music of The Glorious Sons from Kingston and there was lots of food provided by food trucks Picnic, Back Sheep and Herb on the Curb. Yes, the wine was a huge hit and I had the pleasure of trying all three releases. The white wine is called "Orus" which means "leader". This is a very fitting name as Gilmour is considered one of the greatest leaders the Toronto Maple Leafs ever had during his play there and he made an impact everywhere he played in the NHL. This 2012 white is a blend of Chardonnay, Riesling and Pinot grigio and is very refreshing. A blend of vanilla and spice on the nose it is very fruit forward and the initial crisp sweetness gives way to a lingering clean key lime finish that is very satisfying. The Gilmour rosé is a tribute to his kids. Although he was well known as an NHL star he was first and foremost a father to 4 children and he named this wine after his first born daughter "Maddison".

I'm a fan of county rosés and this did not disappoint. It is pale salmon in colour and has aromas of red current and rhubarb. It is very well balanced and like most county Rosé's I enjoy it has a very nice dry finish. There's just something special about a wine that starts a bit fresh and alive and then dries out as you enjoy the lingering finish! The red wine was very aptly named as well. This garnet (blood?) coloured wine is called "Corazon" which translated means "Heart" and everyone knows that Gilmour was the Heart & Soul of every team he played on! This 2012 is a blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot and cabernet franc. There were definite aromas of tobacco and dark fruit with a hint of dark chocolate. The taste was ripe fruit with spicy notes with balanced acidity and smooth tannins leading to a nice long protracted finish. These wines are available now at Karlo Estates and will be in the LCBO by November. When you're out and about sippin’ wine in the county I would certainly suggest you stop by and try some true "Heart & Soul" Gilmour wine. Although I am not a Toronto Maple Leaf fan (gasp!), I am now a fan of Gilmour Wine.

memoRiams

bRYant, Rhoda Marshall. You left too soon and gone too long, but Mom you are always in my heart, and on my mind everyday since July 05, 1970. Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped away to the next room. I am I and you are you. Whatever we were to each other, That, we still are. Call me by my old familiar name. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference into your tone. Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me. Pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without effect. Without the trace of a shadow on it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same that it ever was. There is absolute unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am but waiting for you. For an interval. Somewhere. Very near. Just around the corner. All is well. Nothing is past; nothing is lost. One brief moment and all will be as it was before only better, infinitely happier and forever we will all be one together with Christ. Henry Scott Holland Love you forever and Like you for always Patti.

baveRstocK, Hazel. In loving memory of a loving mother and grandmother, who passed away July 8, 2001. I am sending a dove to Heaven With a parcel on it’s wings Be careful when you open it It’s full of beautiful things. Inside are a million kisses Wrapped up in a million hugs.

Sadly missed and always loved Your daughter Katherine and sonin-law Archie and grandchildren Patty Bissonette and Bill McGregor.

In memory of my dear son Stephen, who passed away July 4, 2009. The moment that you died, My heart was torn in two, One side filled with heartache, The other died with you. I often wake at night when the world is fast asleep, And walk down memory lane with tears upon my cheeks. Remembering you is easy, I do it every day, Missing you is a heartache that never goes away. Love never dies and you are ever in my heart Love Mom & Gerry xoxo

In Memory of

I see your smiling eyes, Each morning when I wake, I talk to you, and place a kiss, Upon your lovely face.

How much I miss you being here, I really cannot say, The ache is deep inside my heart, And never goes away. I hope you’re watching from above, At the daily tasks I do, And let there be no doubt at all, That I miss and love you. Love, Mom & Dad * * * * * * Those we love don’t go away, They walk beside us every day, Unseen, unheard but always near Still loved, still missed and very dear. Loved & missed Lionel & Family

The Picton Gazette

Larratt-Smith says bylaw changes effectively removed accountability to the community HOSPICE, from page 1

That change was brought to the membership at a general membership meeting Jan. 6, 2014, Larratt-Smith believes. He said as far as he can gather through public documents, there were just 11 people at the meeting — six were board members, one was Parks, and the other four were membersat-large. It had only one agenda item, the ratification of that change to the bylaws. LarrattSmith questioned the notice given in advance of that meeting and whether membership was canvassed to explain their eligibility rights. He said the issue wasn’t even whether the meeting was legitimate by the bylaws, but rather the intent. “How can a 10-minute, 11person meeting have possibly been legitimate when it disenfranchised all of the volunteers and builders?” he asked. “The process implemented by the board has had the effect of removing all the accountability to the community through active volunteers and donors. The board has become sort of a free-floating, self-perpetuating balloon with no accountability to anyone.” Volunteer Marianne Malachowski was one of the people in attendance at that meeting. She said those attending

A PROBLEM? Kevin Gale was among community members seeking answers to his questions about the governance of Hospice Prince Edward, including the loss of five of its board members since January .(Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

understood they were creating a "firewall" that would protect foundation money. Larratt-Smith acknowledged there seems to be a struggle in visions for rural hospices — the intent to provide comfortable communitybased care to those terminally ill patients in need, contrasted with an idea to provide cheap institutional care for palliative patients, "cut-rate hospital beds without hospital care or funding." He said it is difficult to negotiate with funders for issues like more quality of care

when a membership has been alienated from the organization it supports. “The tragedy is the membership issue has had the effect of cutting the board off from the support it would have received, making it an easy target for bullying tactics on a regional level,” he said. “We have to solve this within our community before we can support the hospice board in achieving an open and effective relationship with the province’s regional funding agencies.”

Following a tribute to Parks from volunteer Stuart Brown, who called her a “perfect fit” for the build of the hospice with a “leadership style of shared passion and purpose” that led to a standing ovation, the floor was turned over to members of the audience to provide commentary. Rev. Audrey Whitney, a retired service co-ordinator at Hospice, said the volunteers are highly trained and their training is a requirement of Hospice’s accreditation through the Canadian Hospice and Palliative Care Association. Each receives 30 hours of instruction about pain and symptom management, but they are not professional health-care practitioners, she warned. “Volunteers don’t give nursing care. It sounds like that is what they’re being asked to do,” she said, adding they can not give medication, lift, or move clients. Whitney added the memorandum of understanding between Hospice Prince Edward and the SE CCAC calls for clients to offer “comfort measures.” As her own sister is entering the residence this week, Whitney said she doesn’t plan to give medicine or nursing duties, but she simply wants to hold her hand — which is

what any volunteer want to do and should do. Kevin Gale was standing in Whitney’s place last August when his dad, Graham, went into the home for a four-day stay. Making it clear he was speaking as a supporter and not a councillor, Gale said many people were aware of his family’s connection to the home and of the $5,000 it raised at Hike For Hospice. He gave more detail, however. Before admittance, his father told him he didn’t want to go to the hospital and he didn’t want to pass away in a home his wife would come home to. He said the days his father stayed were the worst four days of his family’s life, but they got through it with the generous support of the staff and volunteers. That atmosphere, to him, however, had vanished recently. “I dare say what from what I have heard, what I read, and what I hear the warmth and compassion, in my opinion, has been replaced by secrecy, conflict, hidden agendas, and bullying,” Gale charged. He was openly critical of the board, wondering if its choice of an interim replacement director had been advertised or simply selected. He asked why five members of the board of directors have moved on since January. He

also wondered why a lawyer was present at recent volunteer meetings and whether the community members donating to the cause have had to pay for those legal fees. "I'm hearing of volunteer meetings with a lawyer present. This is a bullying tactic in my world… And who is paying for that lawyer? If it's from the money raised to the tune of over $800,000 over the past couple years, that is just plain wrong." Gale said he was making his stand to ensure other families have the same opportunity to have family members die with dignity. Mark Davis, the chair of the community campaign to build the facility said it seemed like all the people in the room could feel like each own a part of the building as they helped put it together brick-by-brick. “It is important to this community,” he said. Davis said to him, it seems like there should be two options. The first is for the board to ratify the request to change the bylaws and make transparency its top priority, or if they fail to do that, they should be officially asked to step aside in favour of a new board.

The Picton Gazette

Some raise concerns about financial support for hospice care dwindling MEETING, from page 24

Tim Ernst, who identified himself as the husband of a former staff member, cautioned however the board isn't the only body that controls what happens in the hospice facility. "The board can change and they can have all the ideas they want, but the LHIN controls the money and the CCAC dictates the level of care." Lyle Vanclief, who was the honorary chair of that campaign characterized the situation as “a mess” and said without pointing fingers, it is something that must be fixed. After hearing some donors indicate they’re uncomfortable and threaten to pull their support, he said was concerned about the impact this will have on palliative care locally. “My fear is support will be down for Hospice Prince

Edward during this process. That cannot happen.” His words echoed the sentiment of Prince EdwardHastings MPP Todd Smith who spoke earlier in the night. “It’s extremely important that we work together as a community. The horse is out of the barn when it comes to this particular controversy. It’s hard to put the horse back in the barn, we can’t do it,” he said. “The most important thing is the families that are using the hospice are at the centre of all our concerns and thoughts. It is the patients that really matter in all of this… we have to deliver the appropriate care to those who are undergoing one of the most trying experiences of their lives and that is watching a loved one die.” One attendee, Mary Grimley encouraged those at the meeting to stand up and put their names behind their concerns to show they are

interested and ready to take a keen interest in Hospice Prince Edward. “We should collect names. It’s proof that we are the membership for hospice in Prince

Edward County,” she said. Emcee Bev Campbell said there may be room for those participants in the overall focus the volunteers had. Part of their mandate was to form

has been spending a tremendous amount of time to ensure the transition in leadership is as seamless as possible and that services provided by Hospice Prince Edward continue uninterrupted. “We are committed to providing exemplary hospice palliative care in Prince Edward County and to working collaboratively with our partners in the coming weeks, months, and years,” she said. “From the board’s perspective, the recruitment of board members and the uninterrupted and continued services of Hospice are, and must be, the immediate and current focus of the board of directors. Based on all of the above, the board respectfully declines the invitation, as we do not believe the board’s attendance at this meeting will benefit or assist Hospice Prince Edward as an organization, which must remain the board’s focus.”

an organized community group charged with bringing the board and community together. Those people would, ideally, understand Prince Edward County and be familiar with hospice care. It was hoped that group would meet by the end of this month to work on a way forward to heal the wounds. Members of the Hospice board declined to attend the meeting, though participants were informed their comments would be recorded and directed to board members. Prior to the meeting, Hospice president Linda Middleton issued a statement about that decision. She said since Hospice met with its volunteers June 23 board members were “unsure of the purpose of this community meeting” and said no specific details had been provided about the meeting’s agenda. Middleton said the board

Inexpensive ways to boost a home’s curb appeal Curb appeal can go a long way toward making a home more attractive to its inhabitants as well as prospective buyers once the house is put on the market. Improving curb appeal is a goal for many homeowners, and while many projects aimed at making homes more aesthetically appealing can be costly, there are ways for cost-conscious homeowners to improve their properties without breaking the bank. • Put your green thumb to use. A well-maintained landscape can dramatically improve a home’s curb appeal. Pay at-

tention to the plants, shrubs and trees throughout your property, watering them during periods of little rainfall and trimming them when necessary so your lawn does not look like an overgrown, neglected suburban jungle. Professional landscaping services can help you maintain your property, but even if your budget does not allow for such an expense, you can still make sure your landscape adds to your home’s appeal by keeping a watchful eye on the property and addressing any issues that arise. Maintain your lawn through the colder months
