Mayor, MPP speak against White Pines wind project

Province approves 27-turbine installation

CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

The White Pines Wind Project has received approval to move forward with a 27-turbine project in South Marysburgh, but Prince Edward County Mayor Robert Quaiff said he doesn't expect residents opposed to the project to sit idle. The approximately $195$200 million project received its Renewable Energy Approval (REA) from the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) on Thursday after a nearly threeyear review. The project will be located primarily on private land in South Marysburgh. A release from developer wdp Canada says once constructed the project will feed an estimate 159,212,000 kWh annually into the local grid, equivalent to the annual power usage of 9,097 homes. The release quotes wpd spokesperson Kevin Surette as BUBBLING UP IN WELLINGTON Walter Corsetti of the Toronto Kite Fliers offers some instruction to bubblers at the second annual saying the developer is confident the project has undergone Wellington Bubblefest Saturday afternoon at Wellington Park.

Festival events thrill visitors, but bubble may burst

It appears the bubble may burst on the Wellington Bubble Festival. While there were plenty of smiles around the park and the harbour as events kept scores of kids preoccupied Saturday, the world's record for most people popping bubbles was never in danger of being broken at Essroc Arena as less than 200 people registered and took part in the event. Taking the good and bad from the weekend, organizer Tina Konecny sounded like she might be willing to organize a third annual Bubble Festival under the right circumstances and with some help. “I'd love to keep it going but it's a big undertaking and there are a lot of volunteers needed,” Konecny told the Gazette. “The lack of people stepping up and volunteering was really frustrating.” Despite the low turn out at the world record attempt, it didn't dampen the spirits of those that attended festivities in park area and the harbour. “On Monday I received an e-mail from someone in

The Picton Gazette Mayor’s two-ward restructuring system put back on table after municipality learns Angus Ross’s weighted plan not legally viable

Councillors modify four chosen options to take to public consultation CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

Another lengthy debate has seen council narrow and alter the options that will be taken to the public regarding the size of council. Thursday night council voted to move forward with four options which would alter the composition of council and chose the number of council members for each option. The status quo of 16 council members, John Thompson's Plan 13 of 14 council members, Gary Mooney's N.E.W. Plan with 13 council members, and Mayor Robert Quaiff's two-ward system with 11 council members were chosen to go forward. The options will still have to be approved by council at their July 28 meeting before moving forward.

Previously council had given the nod to resident Angus Ross's Equality Plan — which would have seen one representative per ward with weighted votes based on population figures — but that was deemed illegal for a single-tier municipality. If approved by council at the next meeting the four options will be taken to the public through a series of town hall meetings in each ward this September. There will also be a survey — which would be available online and on hard copy at local public facilities — to gauge public reaction to each plan. Quaiff said he feels the process has made headway. “At least now we have four options that are going to be able to go out there, we decided to do a survey and get our ducks in a row for electronic

survey results,” he said. “We're also going to look at hiring a facilitator to present all of these four options to

members of the public at these town hall meetings and then we'll bring everything back and finalize what we're going to do.” Thompson's Plan 13 would see Bloomfield merge with Hallowell and be represented by two councillors while Sophiasburgh's current two councillors would be reduced to one. Thompson said the plan will reduce council size by two members while improving representation by population. Mooney's N.E.W. Plan would divide the county into three electoral wards — North, East, and West. The

North Ward would consist of Ameliasburgh and Sophiasburgh, the East Ward of Picton, North Marysburgh, South Marysburgh, and Athol, and the West Ward would consist of Hallowell, Bloomfield, Wellington, and Hillier. Council's selected option would see each of the wards elect four representatives with the mayor being elected at large. Quaiff's two-ward system would mimic that of the Hastings and Prince Edward Public School Board's for electing school trustees. The a north ward would consist of Wellington, Amelias-

burgh, Hillier, and Sophiasburgh, while a south ward would consist of Picton, Bloomfield, Athol, Hallowell, North Marysburgh, and South Marysburgh. The plan previously didn't make the short list, but was put back on the table with the Equality Plan no longer a viable option. The proponents of each of the plans said their respective options would see minimal to no impact on current historic wards. Quaiff said he may have heard the most, out of all those sitting on council, that the public wants to see this review of council size happen. “I'm pleased there are four plans that are going out for public consultation and we'll hear back from the public one way or the other and get this thing resolved, get it behind us, and it'll be done,” he said. Quaiff said it's a good idea to bring a facilitator into the process. “If you go to town hall meetings, people become very impassioned about the content and sometimes things can get out of control,” he said. “With a facilitator, at least you gain some control in that capacity.” Councillor Jamie Forrester argued council should seek out a facilitator to pres-

Annual Purdy picnic at A-frame provides inspiration for aspiring writers Organizers turn their attention to restoring writing shed JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER

First, a confession. It had been many a year this corner put pen to paper (or finger to key) without an overarching journalistic initiative. But in the moments after attending last year's Al Purdy A-frame picnic on the quietly lapping shores of Roblin Lake, a handful of inspirations had sprung from the recesses of the mind. That tiny cobbled together building that was once home and office to Canada's greatest poet seems to subsist on something super natural and maybe that's what brings people on a pilgrimage from near and far to Ameliasburgh for one short visit on a Saturday afternoon in July. As some of Canada's best and brightest young poets offered both their works as well as poems penned by Purdy at the third annual A frame Picnic, Anne Preston of the A-Frame Association said the maintenance efforts of a living, breathing Canadian literary museum exhibit was progressing nicely. "The cottage is standing well, the work to preserve it has been completed," Preston told the Gazette Saturday afternoon as a few dozen souls listened on to the poets. "Trenton High School completed the

restoration on the iconic outhouse and now we are turning our attention to the Al's writing shed." The inconspicuous storage building looks like any out building one might find tucked on a property that featured a cottage of this vintage. Dilapidated and stuffed to

the brim with tools to hack weeds, tame grass and keep other outdoor chores and duties at bay. The difference is this building served as the portal where Purdy created masterpieces. "The writing shed, which is in very poor repair, is where Al did all his writing. This

building he shared with the lawnmower had a little room and typewriter where some of his best and iconic work was done," Preston explained. The hope is that sometime soon, restoration efforts can start on the writing shed so that it can be open during the Picnic days and also available

for the writer in residence to try their craft surrounded by the same walls Purdy was. The current writer-in-residence Laurie Graham called the A-Frame the "most storied piece of real estate in Canadian poetry." "It is the place every Canadian writer came to at one

point or another. It's truly an iconic place and the chance to write here uninterrupted is special," Graham said. Old photographs that offer detail to Al and Eurithe Purdy's time and sense of decor confirm that not much has changed since Canada's original poet laureate mentored some prominent upand-comers. "You look at a photo from the 1970s and a plate on the wall is still there or other things have been left just as they were...bowls, Al's book collection and the record collection. It's trippy to say the least. "This place is wallowing in tradition and since poetry in Canada isn’t that old, this place gives you so much heritage all in one spot," she added. Hence the feel of a million conversations, unfinished thoughts, laughs and dreams that seem so thick they could lift one into the sky over the village. "It has a karma," Preston said. "Al had the who's who of today's Canadian literature that came here to be mentored. Margaret Atwood, Michael Ondaatje were all at the A-frame at one point or another so there was this incredible conversation going on all the time," Preston said. That conversation rings off the walls and through the cedar and maple trees and inspire even those that thought a particular course had long changed direction.

A move to route a gas line below the Bay of Quinte near the Skyway Bridge will move ahead as planned. Representatives of Union Gas were at Shire Hall on Thursday requesting a noise bylaw exemption while the company drills and prepares for a new pipeline it is building under the Bay of Quinte. Committee of the whole voted to approve the request. Project manager Ahmed AlAmry and eastern district construction and growth manager Peter Siemonsen of Union Gas, and noise consultant Amir Iravani of Dillon Consulting Ltd. addressed councillors, saying the current six-inch diameter natural gas pipeline currently attached to the underside of the Skyway bridge will be replaced with a 1,350-metre eight-inch diameter pipeline. That section pipeline was constructed in 1971. As reported in the Gazette, May 21, the pipeline has to be moved to comply with the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) which is expected to move forward with the rehabilitation of the Skyway bridge. The line will be installed under the Bay of Quinte using an underground horizontal drill method. “The new line is going to be 40 metres under the water table and 60 metres underground — it's pretty deep,” said Al-Amry. “We're going to be drilling through stone, we don't expect any caving.” The project was approved by the Ontario Energy Board in March following an environmental assessment. With the new pipeline servicing the county, councillor Dianne O'Brien inquired whether there were any plans

WORK AHEAD Union Gas subcontractors are preparing to drill

under the Bay of Quinte to relocate a gas line that presently runs along the Skyway Bridge, The drilling is expected to start in midAugust and last about two months.(Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

to extend natural gas service to County Rd. 3 or the Rossmore area. Siemonsen said the company is very interested in expanding the system. “What we're trying to get out is for people to go to our web site, follow the 'switch to gas' link, get registered in there and that will be fed back to the local district and we'll certainly investigate every one of those,” he said. “More interest in a particular area makes that more feasible.” Construction began July 13 and is expected to take about 25 weeks to complete with final cleanup currently scheduled for November. Drilling is expected to begin the week of Aug. 17 and is expected to last about two months. The 24-hour pipeline pullback and drying operations are expected to generate the most noise. The pullback is currently scheduled to begin on Sept. 15 and will take two to three days, and the drying operation is expected to begin on Sept. 28 and take one to two days. The 24-hour noise bylaw exemption would be in effect on these dates. “These activities need to run for 24 hours for technical reasons,” said Al-Amry. The pullback operation involves pulling the pipe into the pre-drilled hole which must be done continuously in order avoid damage due to

instability with the drilled hole. The drying operation must be completed to avoid future freezing during the winter. This must also be done continuously to avoid condensation. Union Gas modelled noise impacts assuming the worstcase scenario, without any noise mitigation efforts. The models indicate the noise levels during the main stage of the work at all the nearby noise receptors would be less than 50 decibels. That would also be the case for the pullback and hydro-testing stages. The highest noise levels will occur during the drying operation with a maximum noise level of 66.8 decibels. Al-Amry said the operation will, however, use mitigation techniques including ensuring construction equipment has appropriate noise reduction equipment. “This study is completely based on no noise reduction techniques, so we will use silencers for sure on the dryer,” he said. “…We'll be using two techniques, one is the silencer at the drying and we'll also be using sound barriers.” Union Gas will be utilizing MTO and private land adjacent to the bridge during the duration of the work. Al-Amry said there will be no service disruption while the work is being completed.

COMMENTARY No benefit to forced industrial wind development

Barring an inevitable, costly, and time-consuming appeals process, 27 giant towers of concrete and metal will rise into the sky over South Marysburgh over the next few years. They will tower over landmarks like the Mt. Tabor steeple. They may pose a threat to wildlife in the air and on the ground. People will likely complain about medical annoyance associated with them — whether causation can be proven or not. They’ll pit neighbours against one another, just as they’ve been doing for several years now. The question, of course, is “Why?” Ontario is a net exporter of power. In other words, the province does not have a supply problem. Through existing nuclear, hydro, and natural gas plants, the province has more than 30,000 mw of power readily available. It’s peak demand came in August 2006, with the highest number coming in at just over 27,000 mw. Ontario routinely sells excess supply to Quebec at a loss. Quebec then sells that power at a profit into the United States, where jurisdictions like New York State use their cheaper energy supply to lure business from the province. The above-mentioned loss is even more damning when one considers Ontario has heavily subsidized the production of renewables and it pays close to five cents more per megawatt of wind power than it does the other methods of production available to it. For the consumer who is trying to cope with steadily rising bills, the source likely doesn’t matter. When dumping excess power elsewhere, that premium definitely adds to the loss. Some would say the extra cost is reasonable because wind power saves fossil fuels, reduces gas. Those statements have been the subject of much debate. Wind energy is intermittent and the wind does not blow according

to a schedule of when Ontarians draw power. Without suitable battery technology to hold whatever energy is captured by wind turbines, that source of energy isn’t as reliably supplied as other forms of energy. With the province making a priority to bring that wind onto the grid when it is produced, it stands to reason the shutting down and firing up of fossil fuel-driven plants to accommodate the change has a cost and it also likely has an impact on carbon emissions. It simply is not a viable replacement. Taking all of that into the equation, it is hard to fathom the big-picture vision behind Ontario pushing industrial wind as an energy source. Other green sources like solar and small-scale renewables would be more reliable and less controversial. Going one step further and approving a large project near sensitive environments in a municipality that has declared itself an unwilling host is just absurd. It certainly doesn’t follow promises Kathleen Wynne made during the election to offer a more inclusive process either. It appears this government is so intent on pushing this ideology it will do so regardless of the arguments to the contrary. One might even speculate by approving this project while opponents are still fighting the neighbouring Ostrander Point development, it could effectively divide and conquer that fight and ultimately get its way. That would be truly unfortunate. This project is not needed anywhere in Ontario right now and it certainly is not needed in this community with its sensitive ecosystems and its world-renowned tourism industry. It is time the province starts listening to the majority of its rural residents, backs away from this project and its risky green energy scheme, and tries a new approach.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Local accountability important to Hospice palliative care model

The community meeting on June 29 about Hospice Prince Edward (HPE) governance was very encouraging, but, the reality is that this is just the first step toward genuine community accountability. As long as HPE continues to be subject to the kind of maneuvering and cover-ups that have recently come to light, it will be impossible for it to serve the palliative needs of this community. The problem is that neither the regional health authority board (the LHIN) nor the regional home care board (the CCAC) have any local accountability. While board members may have local addresses, they are not selected by, or representatives of, the communities they serve. When the Ontario government introduced the Local Health System Integration Act in 2006, it promised a new era where community health-care needs would be

planned, coordinated and funded within and by local communities. Instead we got expensive new regional bureaucracies applying rigid centralized decisions to local situations. In our area, all of the home-based health and support services were consolidated into a regional agency (the CCAC) that covers an area from Brighton to Cardinal and from Lake Ontario to Maynooth . This is the body with which HPE must deal in order to obtain access to taxpayer funding for the professional medical and personal component of care for palliative patients under a memorandum of understanding which gives extensive authority and control to the CCAC. (The services themselves are not actually delivered by the CCAC, but by a third-party commercial agency.) A recent situation illustrates the difficulties that can arise. In December 2014, all

three rooms at the residential hospice were occupied with palliative patients. In advance, the CCAC bureaucrats based in Belleville or Kingston had decided that there was no need to provide round the clock clinical support. The view from the House was very different. This was a difficult season. Families were overwhelmed and Hospice volunteers are neither trained nor licensed to deliver medical care. Access to professional supervision for pain control and comfort medication care was not available for significant time periods each day. With the CCAC remote and inflexible in its rules, the Hospice board agreed to provide locally fundraised dollars to assist the families of the residents to purchase extra services to cover this gap from the same agency which was already under contract to the CCAC. This supplementary arrangement was pro-

vided for about two weeks. When the CCAC learned what had happened, it asserted that any supplementary medical care beyond what it had authorized was improper and must never be allowed to occur again. This argument is nonsense. There is no limitation on the ability of families to provide supplemental medical care when they find that CCAC funded home care is inadequate. The only difference is that HPE has a standing commitment to provide services free of charge within the residence. (This, of course, was the reason why the Hospice board agreed to underwrite the costs.) What can we to learn from this unfortunate situation: n Palliative care has an important and time sensitive medical component - especially for pain management but end of life care is primarily about the journey of the individual and the family. It

requires sensitive supportive management available on site. n Clearly cost control is not the issue here when the additional service was paid for out of local contributions. n The actions of the CCAC appear to be a textbook example of an insensitive, unaccountable bureaucratic organization enforcing a coercive “shut up, and sing” approach in order to protect its centralized approach to care planning rather than address patient needs. n There is an inherent conflict between the objectives of the CCAC and HPE. Under these circumstances, the top down approach of the current memorandum is a recipe for failure. n Our community has put enormous effort in both time and money into Hospice Prince Edward. We must not let that effort be jeopardized. Mark Larratt-Smith

Congratulations to the County of Prince Edward on the installation of the beautiful and remarkable statue by Ruth Abernethy of Sir John A. Macdonald "Holding Court" now gracing Main Street in Picton. Congratulations, also to all those in the county and elsewhere who conceived this tribute and saw it through to completion. A remarkable accomplishment! While John A. was the star of the day — Canada Day, there was an aspect of deep irony in the event of which most in attendance would not be aware. Sir John A. would not have recognized Canada Day! It was his government in 1867 which gave the new nation its name —

The Dominion of Canada. John A. Macdonald never celebrated "Canada Day". He and all Canadians celebrated "Dominion Day". Sir John A. was a brilliant prime minister. He had a gift for administration and solving complex problems and fiscal arrangements and challenges. He was a charismatic leader both in the country and the House of Commons, where his speeches and debating skills were admired by the nation and respected by the opposition. Despite the positive things which he brought to the office, John A. had one flaw. He was given to drinking to excess and was often inebriated to such an extent that it at times it hampered

the affairs of the nation. Many stories abounded about John A's abuse of alcohol and many today jokingly jest and associate him with lack of sobriety and excess. Although not broadly reported by the media, John A's life took a 180-degree turn in January 1888. That winter on Jan. 8, the nation's capital welcomed to the city of Ottawa and the historic Dominion Methodist Church, the evangelistic team of Hugh Crossley and John Hunter. This was a six-week campaign, an event attended by the prime minister, Sir John A. Macdonald. The services attracted large crowds to hear the dynamic presentation of the Gospel and

superb music. At the end of six weeks of scheduled meetings the pastor of the church went to the pulpit and requested that Crossley and Hunter remain for one more week of services. The prime minister rose and asked for the privilege of seconding the motion! That evening was crucial in the life of the Prime Minister. "That night a remarkable event occurred in the life of the man who often scoffed at religion. When in answer to an appeal by Hunter to all who wished to become Christians and desired the prayers of the audience would stand up; the premier of Canada arose with his wife. When the well-known form of the honourable premier rose in the

centre of the church many strong men wept for joy. The Right Honourable gentleman was deeply affected. Later after dining at Ernscliffe (with Macdonald) Hunter attested, Sir John is a changed man." What had changed? John A. had made the decision to receive Jesus Christ into his life. His was forever changed! The Bible describes such a change as the new birth. St. Paul states, "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation: old things are passed way and all things are become new." Sir John A. became a new man that night, and that should also become part of his legacy. Robert C. Wilson Picton

Ten new things about your libraries that you might not yet know

New improvements develop regularly at the library and one of the areas of particular focus currently is increasing access to more materials, and specifically, digital offerings online. Added just last week is Flipster. This is a next-generation digital magazine solution that makes it easy for anyone with a County of Prince Edward Public Library card to read magazines on their computer or mobile device. It is an extremely user-friendly site with seamless user authentication. To gauge the potential popularity of Flipster, the library has subscribed to five magazines to start: Dwell, Golf, Mental Floss, Vegetarian Times and Stereophile. More titles will be added if there is interest shown in these introductory titles. We encourage people to check it out on the home page of the library web site at peclibrary.org. Decisions to invest in additional magazines will depend on input from library users. Three additional online

INSIDE THE LIBRARY Christine Renaud

services will also be available soon. Hoopla will let people instantly watch free digital movies, listen to music, and download e-books anytime using their library card. The service offers access to not only popular movies and best selling artists and authors, but also niche and

hard-to-find titles. Simple to access and use, without the hassle of having to return the items you’ve borrowed, all you need is your library card, your smart phone, tablet, or a computer to get started. More details will be provided on Hoopla when it becomes available through the library’s website next month. Novelist Select and Library Aware are two more to be added in August. Novelist Select will integrate the popular Novelist site into the library’s online catalogue so that users will be able to look at the library’s online catalogue and get book recommendations based on their interests and past reads. Part of the Library Aware suite is Next Reads, a subscription based newsletter for book lovers filled with the latest news from the world of books and publishing, including book reviews. Other news at the library to improve service includes the introduction of a shorter loan period on popular films

and series on DVD. The loan period on titles deemed ‘high demand’ is now one week versus three. Those DVDs not in high demand will retain a three-week loan period. It may be news to some in the community that the library now has a 3D printer. Anyone can make an appointment to be shown how it works at the Picton branch, as well as create an item from the online source of templates. Appointments can be booked with Amanda at: aharrison@peclibrary.org or by calling 613-476-5962. In Bloomfield, you will find the library’s new used bookstore. The Bloomfield Booktique is a great place to check out gently used and like-new books at great prices. All proceeds support the library. For those looking to relax and enjoy a read in air-conditioned comfort, stop in and have a look at the reconfigured spaces in the Wellington and Picton branches. The open spaces with comfortable seating are akin to ‘library liv-

ingrooms”. Note that all branches of the library are air conditioned as well. Though this is not new, it recently became apparent that not everyone knows that groups and individuals can reserve the meeting rooms in Picton and Wellington. Both locations have large and small rooms available for public use. Anyone interested in holding a meeting, hosting a workshop, or making a presentation can inquire about reserving the room. Non-profits can use the spaces free of charge while for-profit use can be scheduled as well and the library only asks for a small donation. Lastly, a new library web site is being planned. Any comments regarding the current site are welcome and can be addressed to: liz@peclibrary.org so that they may be taken into account as the new site is developed. To keep up with all the news at the library, visit the library’s web site anytime at: www.peclibrary.org

CCF requests funding to complete community services inventory Proposed directory would link residents to critical, free, and cost-effective resources within the county to boost awareness, access CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

A request from the County Community Foundation could see the creation of a critical service guide for Prince Edward County. Foundation director Brian Beiles gave councillors an

update of the work the organization has done to date to address areas of concern highlighted in the 2013 Vital Signs Report at last week's committee-of-the-whole meeting. The foundation requested $5,500 to complete a community services booklet and requested the municipality

assist with the monthly pickup of Good Food Boxes from the Community Development Council in Belleville to be dropped off at town halls in Prince Edward County. The committee made a motion to refer the items to staff for recommendations. “Essentially we have a municipal request for two particular things — one being a community user guide for critical, free or almost free services,� said Beiles. He said a similar guide has already been produced by Hastings County and was found to be very useful. “We can provide all the people resources to do this work and to put this book together, but we do require funding in order to do that.� Beiles said service providers have indicated that, from a user standpoint, there is no such information available, which makes it very difficult to access the services. Beiles said the foundation is also seeking the municipality's support in distributing food boxes to key points in the county. He said these points could include town halls or other community spaces and would be staffed with volunteers.

BRIAN BEILES

“This would be a once a month initiative on a pilot basis,� he said. Beiles said the foundation has made significant progress since 2013, forming working groups to address priority issue areas such as getting around, food security, and learning. More than 40 organizations have worked collaboratively to address the concerns over the past two years.� “The progress report attests to the incredible work of these working groups and how they've pulled together over the last 18 months, fortyodd organizations working together collaboratively to achieve that,� he said. In terms of getting around, the CCF working group has a vision to establish an integrat-

and the percentage of the population without a degree or diploma is 40 per cent higher than the Ontario average. “That has all sorts of consequences in terms of jobs and employment,� he said. As a result, the CCF has developed a vision to improve high school graduation rates, conducted a youth engagement survey, secured funding to develop a safe places and spaces concept to engage youth at risk of leaving school, and supported Loyalist College's workplace certificate program. In 2014 the municipality contributed $6,000 to the foundation for research and data collection and pledged $10,000 in 2015 to support the ongoing work of the vital signs project co-ordinator with a focus on the implementation of Vital Signs projects and actions. Councillor Bill Roberts supported the CCF's work. “There are many councillors around this table that are beginning to look at vital signs as an essential resource with regard to public policy in the county,� he said. “I applaud the CCF in its continued efforts.� The committee motion will still have to be approved by council at their next meeting. It's expected council will discuss whether to move the requests into the 2016 budget deliberations.

on behalf of the

ed transportation system in the county that is sustainable, affordable and barrier-free. To this point the working group completed a transportation survey of 600 residents and helped facilitate the expansion of service from existing providers. Beiles said the survey indicated there was a lack of knowledge about transportation options in the county, leading to the working group's goal of developing a one-stop directory for transit options. “Over 50 per cent were unaware of the transportation options that do exist,� he said. As for food security, the CCF working group has supported grassroots initiatives such as Food for All — a program that supplies local food banks with fresh fruit and vegetables. The CCF has also supported the children's garden at the Hub Child and Family Centre, and the Good Food Box program. Support has also been given to the Food to Share, Food for Learning school program, community gardens, community kitchens, and the online food access guide. “There's lots of things happening in the food security area,� said Beiles. Beiles said graduation rates in Hastings and Prince Edward were 12 per cent lower than the rest of Ontario

The municipality will be investigating the concept of a learning and entrepreneurship centre following a deputation at last week's committee-of-the-whole meeting. Committee of the whole approved a motion that will see staff compile a report on the concept of a learning and entrepreneurship centre and investigate partnership and financial models supporting community development goals. The motion also directs staff to investigate whether such a service would be most appropriately delivered through the municipality or through the private sector. It will still have to be approved by council at their next meeting. The motion follows a deputation from Prince Edward Learning Centre (PELC) executive director Kathy Kennedy and local marketing consultant and chair of the Bloomfield Area Business Association marketing committee Duncan Moore. The pair asked council to devote some staff resources to formally investigate models for co-locating social and learning services with small enterprises in Prince Edward County. Kennedy said the availability of the County-owned property at 72 King Street, which formerly housed the municipal recreation, parks, and culture department, was the catalyst for the idea as both PELC and Moore were looking for a new space. “Our core funding hasn't increased in 18 years, so we're finding ourselves less and less able to meet requirements for private sector rent,” she said. “We're considering purchasing a building; we don't really know if that's a good idea, so we're looking at all the options.” Kennedy said one thing PELC did know was they wanted to locate with other agencies and community partners. She said they would expect such learning and entrepreneurship centre to be financially self-sustaining and contribute to the local economy. “We're not really asking for financial support at this point,” she said. “We're looking at someone to co-ordinate partners.” Kennedy and Moore said non-profit organizations are often in a fragile financial state and can't afford proper locations. Meanwhile, they cited

Statistics Canada numbers in saying 50 per cent of people in the county are self-employed and have no dedicated coworking hub with access to fibre-connected broadband Internet. “Among those, as of 2011, were 150 knowledge workers, which are part of the strategic segment the county wants to attract,” said Moore. “These people are fragmented, they don't have a hub where they can move and share space, share infrastructure — specifically fibre-connected Internet, which is extremely important.” They said co-locating would create synergies and savings and help provide stability to more vulnerable nonprofits with project-based funding. It would also create opportunities for sharing expertise with independent professionals. “Usually it's an open concept space and people rent desks by the month, year, week, day — there are people who drop in who are visiting for a day,” said Moore. “They share meeting spaces, you can book a meeting, have a video conference … there's a real focus on community, it's not just a shared office space.” Moore added that the concept could present opportunities for peer learning and innovation. Councillor Lenny Epstein supported the concept, saying there are already instances in the county where municipal buildings have been transformed into community

spaces. He noted the Baxter building is a prime example. “By divesting of that for very little money to the cooperative group, that has since become a community amenity that's offering arts programs to people of all ages,” he said. “It has demonstrated a community impact to the point where they just, from the Quinte Arts Council, received an award for the work they've been doing.” Epstein said if council can create such opportunities for the non-profit sector, it can free up some of their funding so more money can be spent on programming and less on office space. “My view of it is we're getting a double-whammy,” he said. “We're making it easier for not-for-profits to operate and be sustainable and reducing the chance that they're going to come here and ask for grants every year.” While he was receptive of the concept, councillor Treat Hull said it was important for the County to avoid competition with private businesses. “I think it's imperative that this council not appear to be endorsing competition with the private sector,” Hull said. “Likewise I think we need to clear every step of the way on our commitment to reducing assets and fiscal prudence.” Councillor David Harrison agreed. “The idea is great, but I would prefer to see it go to the private sector in this report,” he said.

A Picton man pled guilty to depositing material on public lands in Picton's Ontario Court of Justice Friday. Joe Kennedy made his plea to depositing material on public lands, contrary to the Public Lands Act, and was fined $1,000 by Justice Ernie Parsons. Court heard that May 27, Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry Conservation Officers discovered a person had deposited a pile of leaves that was intermixed with paper documents and household garbage on Crown land in

the Point Petre Provincial Wildlife Area on the south shore of Prince Edward County. The investigation led the officers to Kennedy, who admitted that, at some time between March 1, 2015 and May 27, 2015, he had transported the material from his home in Picton and deposited it at Point Petre. To report a natural resources violation, call toll free at 1-877-847-7667.

An investment into small and rural Ontario hospitals by the province will have little to no impact on Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital (PECMH). Minister of Health and Long-term Care Dr. Eric Hoskins, was at the Campbellford Memorial Hospital in Monday to announce nearly a $7-million investment that would improve patient care through measures such as reducing wait times, providing staff with additional clinical education and expand programs in partnership with community organizations.

The new funding will help more than 50 small and rural hospitals in Ontario. However, PECMH is not subject to the investment because it and the other hospitals that comprise the Quinte Healthcare Corporation (QHC) receive funding through the Health Based Allocation Methodology (HBAM) which aims to distribute health dollars more evenly across areas of the province with high growth. “The base funding increase for small hospitals that are not subject to the HBAM funding formula,” QHC Spokesperson Susan

Rowe said. “QHC is subject to the HBAM formula and we are not eligible for a funding increase.” The ministry is expected to send an envelope of money for PECMH sometime this summer as part of another small and rural facility improvement plan. “We do expect to receive the Small & Rural Hospital Funding for PECMH again in 2015-2016 and we are just awaiting the final figure from the ministry.” Last year, it took an intervention by Prince EdwardHastings MPP Todd Smith during Question Period where

he grilled Hoskins as to why PECMH would not qualify for small and rural funding. Originally the Ministry measured the distance to the closest large hospital (Belleville General Hospital) from the geographic centre of Prince Edward County and not the town of Picton, meaning PECMH fell just inside the threshold of the definitions of a non small and rural facility. The Ministry eventually relented and PECMH did earn the designation. -Jason Parks, Staff

BE A GIFT TO THE WORLD Rotary District 7070 governor Michael Bell tells the Picton club his priorities. He’d like to see an increase in membership, funds raised through the Rotary Foundation, and fellowship this year. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

have been know what I am talking about,� he said. “It’s an experience you will remember or cherish the rest of your life.� Bell also challenged individual Rotarians to do more for their club and community. He indicated he challenged Picton president Rob Leek and his cohorts across the province to practice wearing Rotary pins every day, to attract a new member to the organization, and to make a donation to the foundation. He said he is extending that invitation to all Rotarians in the district, noting he’s had a special pin commissioned to present to those who do so. Membership was one area he believes can be improved. “Currently, only 14 per cent of Rotarians ask another individual to join Rotary. I think we can do better. I know we can,� he said. Lastly, Bell encouraged Rotarians to be ready to handle inquiries about an exciting news on the campaign to eradicate polio from the world. Tomorrow, Nigeria will be declared a polio-free for a full year. On Aug. 11, the entire continent of Africa is expected to carry the same designation. Rotarians in District 7070 alone have raised over $2.8 million to help make that reality. Only Pakistan and Afghanistan will remain after Aug. 11 and Bell said he’s learned the worldwide end of the disease may be “not years, but months� away. “Are you and your club ready for that announcement. Are we ready when the media comes calling. When a neighbour says I saw something about polio and Rotary in the newspaper. Can you tell me what that is about? Are we ready to tell that story?� The Picton club is, past-president Robert Bird indicated as he handed Bell a cheque for $1,000 to kick

start polio fundraising for the year. Bird said the club also realizes inoculations must continue to ensure those countries are free of polio for three full years, so fundraising must continue. The club also gave the Rotary Foundation fundraising a push as it named Hillary Latimer a Paul Harris Fellow for her dedication and active volunteerism. A Paul Harris Fellow is one who has raised or had raised in their name $1,000 U.S. to help the foundation.

The Rotary Club of Picton welcomed district governor Michael Bell to town Tuesday to discuss the organization’s new theme for the year. Michael Bell, a two-time former Etobicoke Rotary president spoke about how he hopes the clubs in his District 7070, which spans from Picton to Alliston, would react to Rotary International president K.R. Ravindran, who challenged members to “Be a gift to the world�this year. Bell indicated he is challenging each of those groups to help in bringing a net 100 members to the district, raising $800,000 to support projects locally and around the world, and to add one more fellowship event this year. He indicated Rotary could make a difference if its club members stick to two guiding principles this year. “I believe Rotary is about being relevant and having fun,� he said. “If we are relevant in what we do in our community, we can attract like-minded individuals to be a part of who we are and what we do.� He challenged clubs like the Picton one, which has about 70 members — many with a long tenure of service — to look for ways to refresh themselves in the process. “It is important, I believe, from time to time to have a look at our clubs through fresh eyes,� he said. “When the real estate agent comes into your home and gives you suggestions on things you might consider doing to make your home sell — to make it more attractive to buyers — we have to look at our clubs the same way to see if they are welcoming to new members.� That means enjoyable meetings and speakers, different ways to fundraise, and some time just for fellowship and making friends. Bell said in surveys of clubs across the district, one of the main things Rotary discovered is that its members want more fellowship. “Get together and enjoy each other’s company doing whatever you want to do as a Rotary event,� he told members at the club’s regular lunch meeting. During his presentation, Bell spoke about several different planning tools available to help Rotarians and their club executive shape the year ahead. He also talked about a number of district, national, and international conventions that could help members grow in the service organization. “You get to learn about Rotary at a whole different level.

Consider obtaining an accessible parking permit through Service Ontario

Many seniors with health or mobility issues might wish to consider applying for an accessible parking permit. You can print the application from the web site and then take it to your physician for a signature. Send it in and that’s that. Take it with you in your car, or when you’re in someone else’s car and you can park in the accessible parking spots without risking the $350 fine. You can go to the local Service Ontario Centre to apply for the accessible parking permit. The local office is at 1 Pitt Street in Picton, on the corner of Pitt Street and Portland Streets and you’ll find lots of free parking. It’s in the Courthouse. The Centre is open from Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and closed on public holidays. There is a fully accessible entrance located at the Pitt Street entrance. There are lots of other services available at the Service Ontario office. This is where you go to renew your drivers licence. There’s

West Nile Virus found in Bloomfield GLENWOOD’S WATERING WIZARDS Pool of mosquitos first in region to return positive test

Dan Hansen and Wayne Potter have spent countless hours watering live flowers to help beautify Glenwood Cemetery this year. Here, cemetery manager Helma Oonk congratulates the two volunteers for their efforts to ensure the geraniums stay beautiful during the summer months, making the cemetery a more inviting place for people to visit. The cemetery will be busy in August with a jazz performance and an appreciation day. (Peggy de Witt/ For The Gazette)

ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

The first positive test for West Nile virus in the Hastings-Prince Edward Public Health footprint this year was found in a pool of mosquitos near Bloomfield. The health unit regularly uses carbon-dioxide-bated traps in 18 locations throughout the two counties to test adult mosquito populations to determine if they are carrying the virus. On Sunday, it announced a pool of mosquitos trapped in Bloomfield has tested positive after being sent to a laboratory in Quebec. The virus, which was first identified in North America in New York State in 1999, is a viral infection found in wild birds and carried by mosquitos feeding on the infected birds. It can be transferred to humans through mosquito bites. It cannot be transmitted by person-to-person contact. According to the health unit, the majority of people infected by West Nile will have mild symptoms or no symptoms at all. Those typically include fever, muscle weakness, a stiff neck, confusion, severe headache, sensitivity to light, tremors, numbness, and vision loss. The elderly and those with chronic medical conditions, typically involving their immune systems are considered most at-risk. In about one in every 150 cases, exposure to West Nile can cause inflammation of the brain. There is no known treatment or vaccine for the virus. Supportive therapy is

available. Health Canada reports that over the past 12 years, there have been 5,235 cases of human contact with the virus, which resulted in 53 deaths. Last year, there were just 21 cases and no reported deaths. Hastings and Prince Edward Public Health notes the mosquitos that usually carry West Nile are most active in the evening and in the morning. Officials recommend wearing longsleeved shirts, long pants, socks and shoes when outdoors during the evening or early morning hours. Those using insect repellent should use one that contains DEET. The health unit cautions those with children to limit the exposure to DEET however. For children under six months, it should not be used. Those six months to two years of age are able to

have one application of a product with less than 10 per cent DEET, while those between two and 12 years should have a maximum of three applications a day. It should not be applied to the face or the hands. Another proven method of prevention is reducing breeding sites for the mosquito population. Often, the insects breed in standing water. Residents are encouraged to turn over wheelbarrows and barrels, empty water collected in garbage or household items, and drain eavestroughs, bird baths, and storm drains regularly. Those encountering dead birds or other animals are also reminded not to handle them with their bare hands or expose bare skin. There were no positive test for the virus in Hastings and Prince Edward last year.

Smith urges delay for Ostrander ruling ‘We’re an unwilling host. We’ve made it very clear to this government that we don’t want anything to do with industrial wind turbines.’

WIND, from page 1

“We're pleased the ministry has approved White Pines,” says Surette. “We're hopeful we can begin construction this fall or next spring using competitively-price local labour and services as much as possible.” There is a 15-day window during which the public can view and comment on the approval or give notice of intent to take the decision to the Environmental Review Tribunal (ERT). Quaiff said the announcement is frustrating considering the position the municipality has taken on turbine projects and the Green Energy Act. “I am furious with the decision from this Liberal government,” said Quaiff. “We've been dealing with this for years. We're an unwilling host. We've made it very clear to this government that we don't want anything to do with industrial wind turbines in Prince Edward County.” He said Prince Edward County has been ignored. “It's just my opinion only, but this Liberal government couldn't care less if it com-

municates with the rural municipalities,” he said. “Stop focusing all their time on the GTA and the larger urban centres and start paying attention to people in rural Ontario — that would be a great place to start.” Quaiff said Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne, before taking office, indicated the government hadn't done a good enough job consulting with municipalities about green energy projects and said her Liberal government would look to fix that. Quaiff said it hasn't happened. “She has not delivered on that promise,” he said. Quaiff said the developer is “hiding behind the Green Dwayne Inch Chair of the Board Mandy Savery-Whiteway Director of Education

Energy Act.” “It's appalling and it's offensive,” he said. Quaiff said he doesn't expect those opposed to the project to accept defeat. He said he has contacted members of the Wainfleet working group that has been speaking out against the Green Energy Act and letters of support are already flooding in. “They're all upset — they're appalled — and they're all offering advice,” he said. “I'll start spreading that advice forward to the proper residents so at least they have some options to look at, but this is just beginning.” Aside from the turbines themselves, residents who live along Maypul Layn Road and others have expressed concern about the 28-kilometre underground high-voltage transmission line that will deliver energy from the project. The line will be installed nearly completely on County right of ways and will run from Royal Road to Maypul Layn Road to Crowes Road and to the Elmbrook transformer station north of Picton. Quaiff said there's no recourse for the municipality in terms of the transmission line. “There's no recourse for the municipality simply because of the Green Energy Act that supersedes anything the municipality puts in place,” he said. “That, again to me, is offensive.” On Friday, HastingsPrince Edward MPP Todd Smith responded to the news with a letter addressed to environment minister Glen Murray. In the letter, Smith says Murray had indicated an interest in protecting the biodiversity of the county. He notes that the MOECC approved the White Pines project without waiting for word on the ongoing appeal of the Gilead project proposed for Ostrander Point. “Therefore, I find it hypocritical that the Ministry of Environment would grant approval to this project with one hand while, through another branch of the Ministry, convening an ERT to determine whether there is a potential remedy available to the serious and irreversible harm that it has already been acknowledged to be caused by these projects,” the letter says. He says the ERT could set a precedent ruling that there is no way to mitigate environmental harm and requests the ministry rescind its approval of White Pines until a decision is made.

There is one piece of art in the Arts on Main Gallery that visitors are encouraged to touch. Collective Ann Wood cut down and painted a tree from her yard that didn’t survive the harsh winter last year. She brought it to the gallery and starting on Canada Day, artists encouraged visitors to write their wishes for the country on cutout maple leaves to be put on the tree branches. “This was our idea to develop an interactive art piece for Canada Day,� Wood said. “We wanted to engage people and it worked really well. A huge number stopped and participated.� While the tree does catch the eye in a space filled with brightly coloured, creative works, Wood said it has been even more com-

pelling reading the messages people of all ages left on the tree. Some wished for things like good food for everyone, happiness for all, cures for cancer, and even a little bit of luck for their favourite hockey teams to win the Stanley Cup. One asked for equipment for the Canadian military. One girl, named Gillian, wished that she could live in Canada for her entire life. Some responses contained jokes. Another set were obviously written by parents for their children whose ages were too young to correspond to the handwriting. Others were written in French. Wood said a number of responses, particularly from those respondents over age 60 related to a desire to see a change from the current government, while a few called for the NDP to take over.

“We have a healthy bit of political discussion,� she said. Wood said the artists are planning to keep the tree in the gallery throughout the summer this year. She stated the work isn’t quite finished. “I would like to encourage people to come see the tree, read the messages and also write their

own messages as well,� she said. Jesse Kelly and Sara Hamilton, of Kingston, stopped to enjoy the tree last week, indicating it was an interesting idea. Hamilton added her wish for sustainability for Canada, while Kelly took a simpler route, asking simply for a long, warm summer.

Don’t miss a chance to taste some elusive Canadian wines while supporting health care in the county. That’s the message the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation and the Rotary Club of Picton are spreading as time winds down toward their Passport to Canada tasting event this Saturday. “This is an inaugural event that can become an annual event,” said the foundation’s interim director of development Hazel Lloyst. “We have a tremendous opportunity before us. This will be a building year and ticket sales are incredibly important.” Those tickets will allow patrons entry into the Crystal Palace between 2-5 p.m. this Saturday and it will include 15 pours from among 750 of the best wines across Canada. They cost $35 in advance and $40 at the gate. A four-pack of tickets is also available in advance for $125. The wines were sourced from the recent judging of the All Canadian Wine Championships and the organization’s director Bev Carnahan said Saturday’s promotion “offers the perfect opportunity for avid winer lovers to sample wines not normally accessible.” Several county wineries are among the participants. There are also wines produced in Ontario’s other wine regions, British Columbia, Quebec, the Maritmes,

and the Prairies. Lloyst said receiving the opportunity was a coup for the organizations involved. “We were thrilled to have been selected as the recipient of these Canadian wines. Knowing we would need extra help and experience for this event, we are really pleased to partner with the Rotary Club of Picton,” Lloyst said. She called the event a “win-win” situation for the two organizations. The foundation is looking at the event as a major fundraiser for its current $350,000 Life Saver campaign to purchase vital equipment like chemical analyzer, blood analyzer, defibrillators, an electrocardiogram (ECG) machine, scopes and vital signs monitors. The hospital also requires an additional $205,000 is needed to purchase colonoscopes and gastroscopes for the detection of colorectal cancer and other life-threatening gastrointestinal conditions. Rotarian Rod De CourcyIreland told members of his club Tuesday the event would be one they wouldn’t want to miss. “It’s going to be a wonderful occasion,” he said. “There’s a barbecue afterward featuring Instant Rivalry and there will be a barrel toasting demonstration that is quite dramatic.” That outdoor barbecue will come with a cost of $15 per meal and it will run between 5:30 and 8:30 p.m. Guests can also purchase wine from Black Prince, cider from the County Cider Company, and beer from Barley Days Brewery. Instant Rivalry, the brother-sister duo of Caleb and Megan Hutton, has been receiving critical acclaim of late as it works toward the release of a new album. The duo won a chance to perform at the Havelock Jamboree next month and made some valuable music industry connections on a recent trip to Nashville. Meanwhile, local cooper Peter Bradfod will show how he uses fire to toast the inside of a wine barrel prior to using it for wine production. Tickets are available online at www.winepassporttocanada.com or in person at the foundation’s office inside the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital and at the Black Prince Winery. They can also be reserved by calling 613-4761008 ext. 4503.

County plans public consultation process for future of Wellington’s downtown Municipal officials ask for input about what should be done with Main Street property it purchased to facilitate Lane Creek diversion efforts STAFF WRITER

The municipality is preparing to ask for the public's opinion on what should be done with the property that was purchased in order to facilitate the Lane Creek diversion project.

The property — located at 282/284 Wellington Main Street — was approved for purchase at a cost of $620,000 in mid June. Specific dates have not yet been set, but the municipality plans to hold public consulta-

tion sessions after taking possession of the property at the end of August. Feedback during the consultation period will be considered in staff recommendations regarding the use of the property which will ultimately be brought to coun-

cil for discussion. The purchase was anticipated to reduce the cost of the Lane Creek project by $200,000 from $1,605,000 to $1,403,000. Purchasing the property allowed the County to avoid diverting the creek

and reduce the road work required on Wharf street, minimizing traffic problems at Wellington's busiest intersection. There were no official plans for the property at the time other than to alleviate

some of the construction concerns. The municipality announced on Tuesday that while the rehabilitation of the creek culvert will take place underground, council and staff are considering uses for the property once the rehabilitation is complete. “The County is committed to working with the public to identify appropriate uses for 282/284 Main Street that will recognize the importance of conserving the heritage of downtown Wellington, as well as meet the needs of ongoing infrastructure maintenance,” says community development director Neil Carbone in the release. The release says any potential uses would aim to enhance the downtown streetscape of Wellington and support revitalization efforts while considering engineering requirements and liability exposure. “The County intends to exercise a charrette consultation process to gather feedback from the public. This facilitated, interactive consultation process will allow members of the public to brainstorm with both staff and one another while reviewing drawings and concepts of potential property uses,” the release says. “The consultation process aims to work with the public to identify realistic and suitable uses of the property that will support the requirements of the Lane Creek diversion project.” The Lane Creek project has been part of the municipality's capital plan since 2011.

Eldridge learns about leadership styles, teamwork as part of RYLA training Trent graduate shares her experiences at week-long conference with other young contributors in central Ontario with sponsoring Picton club ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

With the support of the Rotary Club of Picton, Julie Eldridge gained some valuable insight into leadership styles and personalities. Last week, the 22-year-old Trent University politics and sociology graduate spoke to the club about her experiences in the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) program. Eldridge attended a weeklong leadership conference at Loyalist College with other leaders aged 19-25 from across central Ontario in early May. She said the theme of the conference was in finding the “growth zone� where one can develop and realize potential opportunities. “It refers to when you take a step outside your comfort zone. Your comfort zone is where you are playing not to lose, not taking any risks,� she said, adding that’d be like turning off her headphones and making conversation on the bus. The program facilitators also spoke about going too far

into the danger zone or the panic zone, where participants simply withdraw. One of the first experiences Eldridge and her cohorts had in pushing their limits was introducing a fellow participant whom they’d never met at the start of the course. The week was broken down into classroom time — an adjustment for Eldridge who said she hasn’t had to be in class for a set amount in a long time — and miscellaneous activities later in the day. Those activities ranged from doing improv with people she didn’t know, building straw bridges with teammates, and showing off performing skills.

ance one another out. Eldridge said some of the activities pushed people to their panic zone, namely one where they couldn’t talk to one another and they had to complete a maze that changed each time one person came through. “It was a nightmare, people were breaking down and walking out of the room. They were saying to the facilitators,’Why are you doing this to us?’ They said it’s to teach you to thrive on change.� Another tough activity saw the participants blindfolded holding a rope. They had to form a square.

Leadership styles, communication skills, and change readiness were some of the topics addressed. Eldridge explained the participants took a quiz and discovered their DISC leadership styles — dominant, inspirational, steadfast, or conscientious. She said she was about even in all areas. Groups were formed with a range of people with each different style. Some styles resulted in the butting of heads. She said it was sometimes hard to work together with people taking on different styles, but added sometimes the influences can bal-

“It was interesting to see who you could hear. The dominants were shouting instructions. One of the steadfast leaders figured out if we numbered ourselves and divided by four, we could make a pretty good square.� Eldridge said those who worked together instead of within themselves tended to have success in those types of activities. She said the highlight of the week was time spent at the Gleaners Food Bank where she was able to help with a

32nd annual!

community garden project. It was interesting, Eldridge said, because she worked with other youth who lived in condos their whole lives and had no experience with gardens. The RYLA program was officially adopted in 1971 and its objective is to train and encourage young leaders, to encourage strong leadership of youth by youth, and to recognize young people serving their communities. The Picton and Wellington clubs are able to sponsor eligible candidates to attend every year. presented by Prince Edward District

Walking in bubble on water proves challenging for most BUBBLES, from page 1

R0013371752

The president of the Toronto Kite Fliers was having just as good a time as the young ones around him. “It's not a business, it's just fun, this is just fun,” the Bolton, ON resident said. He explained the Kite Fliers pack the bubble solution, sticks and rope to occupy their time when there is no wind at a meet or event. BOUNCING BUBBLE A young person prepares to walk on “This is the most unique thing I can ever imagine,” water at the Wellington Harbour Saturday afternoon as part of the Corestti said. “We've scaled annual Bubble Festival event. Young and old took turns trying to it up a little bit for this event navigate the water in a bubble.(Jason Parks/Gazette staff) and we are all having a great lineup of the young and the time. I hope this goes on and have fun.” Down at the Wellington young at heart ready to enter again, we never go to a place where we just blow bubbles Harbour, there was a steady an inflatable plastic ball and

walk (Or at least try to walk) on water. Sabrina Wall, of Toronto, was part of a friend's birthday party and simply had to try to walk on water in a giant bubble. “I've seen my hamster do it so I thought why not,” Wall said. “You don't realize how hard it is once the ball is completely on the water.” Unable to stand for more than a second, Wall made a few controlled tumbles while having what appeared to be a great time. “I'm 35 but I'm still 15 at heart,” she said with a laugh.

Norton to blaze trail with Cowboys PECI sprinter signs to compete in NCAA track and field with Oklahoma State JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER

MARVELOUS MURPH Wearing 75, Former Wellington Duke and Picton Pirate Darcy Murphy prepares to lead a goal train after notching a marker in the New Jersey Devils Red vs. White scrimmage last week in Newark, NJ. (New Jersey Devils)

Murphy has strong showing at Devils’ prospects camp Former Pirates and Dukes star hoping for a big senior year with Colgate Red Raiders JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER

Darcy Murphy had himself a devil of time in Newark, New Jersey last week. The former Picton Pirate and Wellington Duke attended his second New Jersey Devils prospect camp in as many years and was a big hit amongst the amateur and drafted Devils prospects. Murphy scored a nice goal in the red versus white scrimmage game at the close of camp and was also part of team black which won the three-on-three mini tournament. Not a bad way for the Marysville product to spend the summer prior to his final season at Colgate University where he will serve as alternateSp captain for a Red Raiders team looking for a break through in the Eastern

Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC) final. Contacted by the Gazette Tuesday, Murphy said he was satisfied with his week at the camp which featured a number of Devils first round draft picks including Pavel Zacha (2105) and John Quenneville (2014). “I thought I played really well,” Murphy said. “Overall I was happy with the week. In the final game I had missed some chances earlier so I wanted to make sure I got one.” The goal was vintage Murphy as he faked pass on an abbreviated two-on-one and snapped home a laser beam on the right side. After the game, the Devils were brief but complimentary in their assessment.

See MURPHY, page 29

Cole Norton is sprinting his way to the American midwest. Norton made it official last week and, starting this fall, the 100-metre specialist will be an Oklahoma State University Cowboy. Despite an injury-plagued close to his secondary school athletic career, the NCAA Division I track and field program thought enough of Norton and his potential to offer him a partial scholarship for the upcoming year. Norton will attend the coeducational public research university in Stillwater, which is halfway between Oklahoma City and Tulsa and study finance. The PECI alumnus will compete in the vaunted Big 12 Conference against athletes from other schools such as the University of Texas, Iowa State and the University of Kansas. It's been a dream for Norton to attend an NCAA program and starting this fall, the dream will become a reality. “It's like 'Here's the finish line,’” Norton said of what he felt when he signed his acceptance letter and registered with OSU last week. “It's been an up-and-down couple of years for me and while my secondary school career didn't end the wayI wanted it to, I'm motivated to take that next step and compete against the best in North America.” Norton was a three-time OFSAA provincial championship medalist in his midget and junior years (Grade 9 and 10) at PECI and rewrote the Bay of Quinte and Central Ontario championship record book in the 100-metre and 200 -metre dash events along the way. But Norton struggled with hamstring and hip injuries in his Grade 11 and 12 years and wasn't healthy enough to qualify for the Central Ontario

championships in 2014 and 2015. The Picton resident has been working and training to overcome his medical maladies and feels ready to hit the track in the heart of BoomerSooner country later this summer. “I'm in tremendous shape right now,” Norton said. “My core is balanced and my strength is really good.

I've worked hard on my gluteus maximus muscles and their underdevelopment was causing my hamstrings to work overtime and cause these minor strains that knocked me out of action. I've addressed that through training and I'm ready to go.” Part of that training has been with one time Olympian Tony Sharpe and his popular Speed Academy outside of

Oshawa. Sharpe has been in the public eye recently as one of his students, Andre De Grasse, has rocketed up the ranks in the sprinting world and become an NCAA champion in both the 100-metre and 200-metre races while attending the University of South California.

Chowder tastes good for young Dukes Wellington prospects finish with winning record at showcase in Massachusetts JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER

MARKSMAN Wellington Duke Austin Labelle, seen here in the Royal Blues tied it in the second with about four minutes left. After the Quebec team won, there were fireworks as Girduckis, Boomhower and Hunter all doffed the gloves for a full-on donnybrook after the final buzzer, a rare occurrence at a showcase event. Wellington announced a pair of signings this weekend, inking Cavanaugh and Marsh Nikitin, a high flying centre from the New Liskeard Cubs of the Great North Midget AAA Hockey League. Cavanaugh,17, played for the Quinte AAA midgets last season and is known as a tough customer in the defensive zone. “He's a stay at home, big bodied defenceman that can play that physical style but we really like his mobility combined with his size,� Abrams

said. Getting into one call-up game with his hometown Cobourg Cougars last year, Cavanaugh believes his best chance to play meaningful minutes at this stage of his career is in Wellington. “We were his first choice,� Abrams added. “He played in exhibition games against us last season and we were impressed then so we are thrilled to add him.� Nikitin,18, was the second leading scorer in the GNML, scoring 33 goals and adding 38 assists in 36 regular season games. He's a high scorer in a highly scouted league,� Abrams said. “His skill level is very high and he can make plays. He was highly sought after and we fortunate he has chosen to come to Wellington.�

R0013320812

The chowder in Boston suited the Wellington Dukes just fine this past weekend. Participating in the John Cunniff Senior Chowder Cup this weekend in Foxboro, Massachusetts, A Dukes squad made up of recent signees and number of prospects put together a very respectable 2-1 record with the teams only loss coming in the final game with nine seconds left against a team of 20 year olds from Quebec. Overall, including their spring season in the Central Development Hockey League, the Dukes went 29-10 and showed that a youth movement can payoff in the standings. It was just a great tournament and a great showcase all around,� Dukes coach and general manager Marty Abrams said. In the opener on Thursday, the Dukes won a laugher against the Boston Little Generals 11-1. Austin Labelle fired home a hat trick for the Dukes while Jordan Muzzillo had a pair of goals from the back end. Chris Gwozdowski also lit the lamp twice while Shaw Boomhower, Liam Hunter and Justynn Steven added singles. The second contest was a far more intense as the Dukes managed to blank Competitive Edge Hockey out of Philadelphia 3-0 on Friday morning. Steven had a pair while Matt Cavanaugh blasted one home from the blue line. Quinte AAA netminder Anthony Popovich had a shutout in the contest. Finally on Friday, the club played the Quebec Junior Hockey Association's Royal Blues and were nipped on a late power-play goal with under 10 seconds remaining. “It's one of the best games I've ever seen at that showcase,� Abrams said of the contest. “They had six 20 yearolds dressed and we played with them the entire game.� Aidan Girduckis got the game’s first goal in the first of the two-period game but the

DEATHS

JULY 23, 2015 25

Ralph Frank Margetson

July 23, 1917 - July 14, 2015 Youngest Child of Ernest Margetson and Jessie Cannons. Husband of Pearl Rosemary ( Dahlhoff), Father of the late Michael (Deborah), Pamela (Terry), Andy (Bridget), Ernest (Dawn) , and John (Debbie). Boy Scout, Gardener, Naturalist, Farmhand, Farmer, Soldier, Township Councilor, Park Superintendent, Church Warden, and someone who loved to visit. Ralph was born in East Titherly, Hampshire, England, and then lived with his family in the nearby village of Lockerly, where he helped his father as an estate gardener and was a boy scout and received his only formal education. He immigrated to Canada in 1929, where he settled on the farm on Melville Road with his parents and three of his four siblings. Soon after arriving, Ralph became a farmhand for the Russell family who had no children, just north of Roblin Mills ( Ameliasburgh Village) where he worked for six years. These formative years were very important in Ralph’s life and he spoke and reminisced about his work and social life during this period very often, and the joy he had living and working on the farm. After Mr. Russell died and the farm was sold, Ralph returned home to work with his parents and brother to assist in the farm development and expansion. Ralph had many lifelong friends and farming neighbors that were an important part of the rest of his life on Melville Road. In 1939, Ralph enlisted in the Canadian Army and was sent to England in 1942 where he trained and lived until the invasion of D-Day in 1944. He was assigned to the Royal Canadian Artillery, 3rd Medium Regiment, and crisscrossed England and Wales training. Ralph enjoyed being back in England and was home stationed not far from his sister Jess, who had stayed behind when the family emigrated, allowing him the

Rest in Peace opportunity to spend time with her. Ralph never forgot the sacrifices, both at home and abroad, that were endured during the war and after, and was very devoted to promoting remembrance. It was during his time in England that Ralph met the love of his life, Pearl, from Croyden, Surrey, whom he married in England, January 12, 1946 after returning from Germany at war’s end and prior to returning to Canada on a troop ship. Pearl soon after joined him on Melville Road where they have lived their lives together for 69 years. Ralph and Pearl were a remarkable team throughout their life and established a very successful farm operation which expanded to other farms on Melville Road. Pearl was the perfect compliment for Ralph, guiding and supporting him throughout his life. They were also loving and devoted parents to their 5 children. In 1966, Ralph was asked to become the superintendent at the new Provincial Park at North Beach, and from that time forward until his retirement in 1982, Ralph was an integral part of the formation and development of this Park. It was at this time that the dairy portion of the farm was removed, but other farm operations that fit with his summer work were developed. After retirement, Ralph enjoyed his time on the farm and working in his garden. He enjoyed keeping abreast of local issues and for many years wrote his letters to the Wellington Times, many of which people still remark about to this day. He assisted Andy in his farm activities with his advice and experience, and he could be drawn on at any time by anyone for his wisdom on many issues. Ralph often remarked about the fortunate and long life he had, saying many times that “I have never been unemployed, hungry, cold, or sick, and I had the best wife and family in the world, and with Pearl, financially prospered.” At the last he said “it is hard for me to believe when so many veterans and people my age that I grew up with are gone, and I am still here.” Ralph was ready to say goodbye and he died peacefully at home on Melville Road, in his bed with his family at his side. Friends called at the Ainsworth Funeral Home, 288 Noxon Avenue, Wellington on Tuesday, July 21st from 1-3 and 6-8 p.m. Funeral Service was held on Wednesday, July 22nd at 1:00 p.m. at the Wellington United Church.

Learn to identify and deal with wild parsnip and cow parsnip

There are times when this column might make you believe our natural world is full of terrible threats to the health of humans and their gardens. Such is not the case. Indeed many of the threats are easily resolved, and information is provided here only to help identify and resolve risks when they do occur. Kathy MacPherson wrote an article in early June about giant hogweed and other noxious plants. This article included a picture of a giant hogweed (Heracleum mantegazzianum) that is said to grow 10 feet or three metres in height. In B.C. they have been reported to grow a third again as tall. The umbels of white flowers can be two-thirds of a metre or about two feet across. While there is a belief in the county that this plant can be found locally, to the best of our knowledge no local plants have been positively identified as such. The plants we have found when contacted were cow parsnip also known as hogweed. Both wild parsnip and cow parsnip are part of the parsley and carrot family (Apicaea) but each have a different genus. If the sap of either if these plants (among others) touches your skin, it could cause Phytophotosynthesis, a chemical reaction that occurs when the skin is later exposed to the sun. The result is a blistery rash that can last for weeks followed by a reddened patch of skin that can remain for years. If the sap comes into contact with your eyes it can cause serious damage, including temporary blindness. If you do not break the

stem or any other part of the plant to expose the sap, neither of these plants have toxic affects. Cow parsnip (Heraculeum maximum) is a native North American plant found throughout Canada. Its most common look-alike plant is Queen Anne’s lace, but the significant difference is the stem and foliage. The stem of the cow parsnip is wooly or hairy and the leaves are large, trifoliate with jagged edges unlike the delicate fernlike fronds of the Queen Anne’s lace. Both have umbels of white flowers but the flower buds of Queen Anne’s lace often are tinged with pink and generally you can locate the telltale red flower in the center of the umbel when in full bloom. The other significant difference is the size, as the cow parsnip can grow to two metres in height and the umbel of small white flowers may reach 30 centimetres in width. The umbel of the cow parsnip can be either flat or curved. It is not considered to be invasive. A little known fact is that the early indigenous North American people ate the root of this plant in its first year but handled it with the care that would indicate they understood the dangers. They also used it in poultices for bruises and the like. Cows appear to be immune to the toxins and eat it with no ill affect. Per-

DECEIVING BEAUTY These yellow flowers are wild parsnip. Children and adults are advised to refrain from picking these flowers. Those who work around them on a regular basis are advised to wear clothing that covers the skin and thoroughly wash boots or glove coming in contact with the plant with soap before removing protective clothing. (Submitted photo)

THREATENING LEAVES This is an example of the first-year leaves of a wild parsnip plant. The

invasive species can cause health risks to humans through exposure to its sap. Chemicals in the sap have been linked to skin and eye irritation when exposed to the sun. (Submitted photo)

After working around the plants, remove your protective clothing carefully to avoid transferring any sap from your clothing onto your skin. Wash your rubber gloves with soap and water, and then take off your spray suit or outer clothing. Wash your rubber gloves again and then take them off. Finally, take off your protective eye wear. Put nondisposable clothing in the laundry and wash yourself immediately with soap and water. Do not dispose of this plant in the compost. It is best to bag it for the garbage.

Do not burn it. Wild parsnip is a noxious and invasive plant and is eligible for chemical control in Ontario using products containing glyphosate such as Round Up. A large infestation should be handled by a professional. For best results with a chemical control, spray the plant in the early spring and follow-up later in the season. Whilst cow parsnip is a noxious plant, the department of agriculture should be consulted before using Round Up. The best prevention for avoiding the perils of either plant is to learn to identify

them. Make sure your children also recognize them and stay away from them as opposed to bringing you a bouquet of the flowers. While we all enjoy the beauty of summer and its lovely wildflowers, it’s best to know which are noxious. Send your gardening questions to askamastergardener@bell.net.

haps that is how it acquired its name! Cow parsnip like many common names has been applied to more than one species of plant. Some of these plants are alleged to have no dangerous sap problems. Certainly given that it is a native plant found throughout much of Canada and the States, plants in various areas could have modified themselves over time making them a different plant with no toxic sap. We don’t advise experimentation with the plants that grow here except in a laboratory. You may have noticed an abundance of a tall yellowish green plant along roadsides, recreation areas and pastures in the county and beyond. This plant is called wild parsnip or poison parsnip, Pastinaca sativa. Wild parsnip was brought here from Europe many generations ago as a food source, and in fact you can eat the root, but getting to it is a dicey proposition at best. This plant produces leaves the first year and blooms the second spreading its many seeds as far as the wind and other vectors can take them and then it dies. Wild parsnip is very invasive and is found in every province and territory of Canada except Nunavut. Naturalists agree that it is on the increase in southern Ontario because of the wet summers we have had in the last couple of years. You should preferably learn to recognize it when it is in its preflowering state the first year. The leaves of wild parsnip are compound and arranged in pairs with pointy ends. They resemble a mitten. The main stem is clearly corded. When it is in flower in the second year – it resembles the yellow flower head of dill before it goes to seed but the leaves are quite different. Dill leaves are fern-like. If you have a small infestation of either plant, you may elect to remove it depending on the location. Cow parsnip, which is not invasive, does not need to be removed unless in the path or activity areas of people. You can choose to dig them up or even mow them along with the lawn but do so early if you want to mow them. (Regular mowing works over time with poison ivy as well.) If they have gone to seed, try to enclose them in a garbage bag before removing them. It is far too late to mow them then. Wear protective clothing, including waterproof gloves, long-sleeved shirts, pants and eye protection. A disposable spray suit over your normal clothing provides the best protection.

A 29-year-old Picton man was arrested last Wednesday after allegedly using a dog-attack-deterring spray on two people. The man had been

involved in an argument with the other parties that morning at a Spring Street residence when the incident took place. The man was charged with two counts of assault

with a weapon, contrary to the Criminal Code, and causing bodily harm by administering a noxious thing, also a Criminal Code offence.The accused was

released on conditions and will appear in Picton court Aug. 26. Neither victim was injured in the incident. -Staff

Dukes alumnus eager to travel with Colgate teammates to play in Italy, Northern Ireland MURPHY, from page 22

“They know I'm going back to school for my senior year so they told me to keep up the good work, have a great year and we will be watching,” Murphy added. Murphy is coming of a junior season with the Red Raiders where he played on some different lines and was tasked with playing with a number of freshmen in their first season of NCAA hockey. Still able to post 26 points (11 goals and 15 assists) in 34 games, Murphy was huge for the Red Raiders in the ECAC playoffs, leading them to the finals with a two-goal, two-assist performance in the semis against St. Lawrence. Murphy would score a goal a day later against Harvard but the Red Raiders came up short in the ECAC

finals for a second straight year. This year, Murphy and his mates want to leave no doubt who the best team in the league is. “An ECAC title is definitely goal No. 1,” Murphy said. “I don't worry about points and what numbers I have personally, as long I put my best foot forward and give 110 per cent, good things will happen.” The Colgate hockey team will be part of the European jet set this year as they will travel to Italy later this summer and then play in the inaugural Friendship Four Tournament during American Thanksgiving week (Nov. 27-28). The Raiders join Brown, UMass-Lowell and Northeastern in Belfast, Ireland for the two-day event. Naturally, Murphy is

thrilled to play hockey in the land of his forefathers. “I'm really excited to take part in the tournament in Belfast. My parents were over there last summer and they had a bunch of great stories and I'm happy to check out my heritage,” Murphy said. Part of Murphy's hockey heritage includes a brief stopover with the Picton Pirates (2010) and a couple of great seasons with the Wellington Dukes that included a Royal Bank Cup championship appearances

Under-14 Eagles play to draw with Pegasus to remain unbeaten Gabe Goad scores late in first half to tie game JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER

For the first time this season, the PRZ Paintball Under-14 Eagles didn't win a game in which they played in the Southeast Ontario Soccer Association. But the effort was enough to keep the Eagles firmly in the driver's seat as they march towards a championship. The Eagles and Pegasus of Kingston played to a 1-1 draw Monday evening at PECI, a result that keeps the local's undefeated streak in SOSA competition alive and doesn't allow the second place squad to gain any

ground on the PECSA crew. Down 1-0 early, it was a nice, arcing effort by Gabe Goad just prior to the start of halftime that befuddled Kingston keeper Chris Villeneuve and got the Eagles back to square. Neither team had much by way of scoring chances in the second half and the game ended in a 1-1 draw. On Tuesday evening the Eagles whitewashed Portland 8-0 and moved to a league-leading 25 points. Pegasus, which has a game in hand, is at 19 points. The Eagles return to the PECI pitch Monday night for a 6:30 p.m. Game against Quinte West.

More competitors build their own cars for use in Bloomfield’s soap box derby JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER

The early Saturday morning fog cleared, the track was dry and it was a great day for box car racing in Bloomfield. With apologies to Jackie Stewart, nearly two dozen would be Alain Prosts and Nigel Mansells tore down Mill Street with abandon as the village hosted it's annual soap box derby organized by the Bloomfield recreation committee. Bloomfield councillor Barry Turpin was pleased with the turnout which featured both local children and youngsters visiting the county and looking to get in on the adrenaline-pumping fun. “We had a lot more people making their own cars this year plus a few competitors tinkered with their cars over the winter and made some improvements which is nice to see,� Turpin said. “The main thing is everyone had fun and there were lots of people stopping by to watch.�

Turpin mentioned Mike Peeling of Picton Home Hardware and his efforts to make the day a success. “Home Hardware is great in supporting a number of Bloomfield recreation committee events and Mike has been very helpful to the soap box derby. He's worked on the cars to improve them, helps store them and has been integral to the event for a number of years,� Turpin added. In terms of top finishers, the division winners are as follows: n Age 5-7 1) Reese Rowbotham, 2) Rebecca Peeling, 3) Ryan McGinnis n Age 8-10 1) Noah Peeling 2) Jaden Wynen 3) Jonas Wynen n Age 11-12 1) Brock Sallans 2) Tyler Gowan 3) Jack Demille The most original race car design award went to Ezri Cordes, while the prize for best-decorated race car went to McGinnis.

The Picton Gazette

How to prepare your home for prospective buyers Selling a home can be exciting. Homeowners who made considerable financial commitments when buying their homes may be anxious when the time comes to get returns on their investments, but selling a hope need not be so nerve-racking. Buyers’ tastes often dictate their interest in a home. For example, no matter how immaculate homeowners may keep their colonials, such homes won’t appeal much to buyers looking for a traditional Cape Cod cottage-style home. But while you might not be able to change your home’s architecture to appeal to the masses, there are steps you can take to make your home more appealing to buyers whose dream home more closely resembles your own. • Address curb appeal. Curb appeal goes a long way toward creating a lasting first impression, so homeowners can start by driving up to their homes and looking at them through the eyes of prospective buyers. Address the landscape if it needs some TLC, and power wash siding if it’s appearing a little dirty. Examine your driveway for

cracks and consider installing a new surface if the existing one is more of an eyesore than eye-catching. Finally, clear the yard of toys and tools before nailing the “For Sale” sign into the ground, as a cluttered yard will give buyers the impression that you did not prioritize keeping a clean and presentable home. • Clear out the clutter. Some sellers stage their homes when putting them up for sale. But staging might not be an option for sellers who are still living in their homes and intend to do so until they find buyers. If you can’t stage your home, then do your best to remove clutter, including extra pieces of furniture you might have accumulated over the years that can make rooms seem smaller. Box up any books that no longer fit on bookshelves, and try to keep common areas like family rooms, hallways and kids’ playrooms as open and clean as possible so the rooms appear roomy and relaxing. • Let the light shine in. Dark homes are less appealing to prospective buyers, many of whom

have no interest in living in caves that are void of natural sunlight. When showing your home, make sure all of the curtains are drawn and the blinds or shades are up. If trees or shrubs outside windows are blocking natural light from getting inside, consider trimming them so your home appears sunnier and more inviting. Bright homes tend to feel more spacious, so fix any light fixtures that need fixing and even add small lamps in rooms that could use some extra light. • Tackle that to-do list. It’s easy for a home’s residents to grow accustomed to certain minor problems, such as a doorknob that always sticks or a creaky kitchen cabinet door. But buyers might be turned off by too many of these minor problems and wonder if any larger and more expensive issues also went ignored.
