A cacophony of popping bubbles kicked off Wellington's Bubble Festival on Saturday morning. A total of 452 people gathered in the Wellington and District Community Centre to attempt to break the Guinness World Record for most people popping bubble wrap. While they weren't able to beat the current record of 942 — which was set May 22 — organizers were pleased to beat the previous record of 366 and said it was good to see the participants having fun. Among those enjoying the attempt were Jessika Ivanic and her son Ryker. “I'm enjoying how much fun it is for him,” Ivanic said. “I haven't seen him have this much fun in a while. It's great to just see him run around and enjoy — it's a crazy, crazy, morning.” Following the record attempt visitors enjoyed a bubble parade down Main Street and then a plethora of bubble-themed events, including bubble wrap fashion shows and bubble bath races. Bubble Festival chair Tina Konecny said it was a bit disappointing to not break the record, but said it provided invaluable experience that will be critical if organizers make another attempt at the record. “We would have broken the original record when we started planning it, which was 366,” she said. “We would have broken that record if it hadn't been broken twice in May — at least we achieved that.” Otherwise, Konecny said the event went off with few bumps and organizers and volunteers were thrilled with the response. “Overall, everybody was very pleased. It went over very well for our first time,” she said. “… Everybody had a great time, it was so magical in the park that day, it was just beautiful to watch.” She said there was an encouraging turnout for a first-year event and the festival has already been receiving some very positive feedback.

She said it's just the kind of reaction she was looking for when she came up with the idea. “We wanted to promote Wellington and the county and I feel like we achieved what we were trying to do — have a fun festival and get the community working together,” said Konecny. She said County FM volunteers were a great help and the event — especially the record attempt — wouldn't have been as successful without their participation. “I couldn't have done that without them,” she said. She said with Guinness regulations and the logistics involved, the record attempt was one of the most difficult aspects of the event to organize.

Council approved tenders for several construction projects across the municipality on Tuesday, including a $1.6 million rehabilitation of County Rd. 8. Council voted 11–4 in a recorded vote to move forward with the County Rd. 8 rehabilitation project. Councillors Janice Maynard, Alec Lunn, Keith MacDonald, and Brian Marisett didn't support the motion. Staff had budgeted $1.3 million for the project, but the lowest tender came from Cruickshank Construction Ltd. at approximately $1.43 million plus HST. Staff suggested the budget be increased by $240,000 to ensure the entire planned work can be completed, bringing the total cost to over $1.6 million. Ultimately the project was approved with $35,750 of the additional $240,000 coming from a North Marysburgh roads capital reserve and the remainder of the additional cost coming from Federal Gas Tax funding. The work will cover a 5.4-km stretch from County Rd. 17 to County Rd. 25. Councillor Janice Maynard argued the road wouldn't be finished with this work, suggesting it would be an ongoing project. She suggested reducing the amount of work to four kilometres to fit within the former budget, but her amending motion failed. “It's not that I have anything against this particular road as opposed to another road — we have plenty of roads that are in poor condition,” she said. She said her motion wasn't political, saying it was a budgetary concern. Councillor Alec Lunn, however, said attempts to remove politics from the equation are futile. He didn't support the motion, saying a similar amount for Danforth Road was removed earlier this year because of budget concerns.

Great weather and a solid turnout were the highlights of this year's annual Bloomfield soap box derby. The event, organized by the Bloomfield Hallowell Recreation Committee, saw close to 20 competitors race down Bloomfield's Mill Street on Saturday morning. Racers ages 5â&#x20AC;&#x201C;12 took part in the event. Bloomfield councillor and organizer Barry Turpin said it was a great day on the hill. Racers got two runs down the hill with their best time used to determine the winners. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It went very well. We had a good turnout, things went well,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The cars we fixed up really worked well for the kids, it was a lot safer for them.â&#x20AC;? Turpin said it was especially gratifying to see how much fun the younger kids had piloting the cars. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Especially the 5, 6, 7 (year olds) where it was their first race,â&#x20AC;? said Turpin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of them it was their first medal, first trophy or anything and they were just so appreciative and so excited to get into a car

and drive it.â&#x20AC;? Each of the racers received a participation medal and everyone enjoyed ice cream from Slickers. Turpin said it was encouraging to see so many racers out on Saturday, considering it was a busy weekend filled with family events. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Things went extremely well, we had lots of spectators there from the village and any people who were shopping came down and had a look,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was really good.â&#x20AC;? While the recreation committee had carts available for all to use â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thanks to Chris DeMille Excavating, Picton Home Hardware, the Prince Edward County Fire Department, and Alex Goodfellow who each built new carts last year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; some participants brought their own rides. Prizes were also given to the most original cart and best decorated cart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was very successful, we were really pleased with everything,â&#x20AC;? said Turpin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The weather was great and everything went along very smoothly.â&#x20AC;? Following the race the kids were offered a free pizza lunch at Mill Street Park.

Regent hosts Winter tribute

Legendary guitarist Johnny Winter was to play on the Regent Theatre stage last night, however the 70-yearold star passed away after a show in Europe July 16. Taking the stage in honour, a whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s who of musicians came to the Regent to do a tribute show for Winter. Among the scheduled

performers were slide guitarist Pat Rush, one of Winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original band members and international award winning artists like Jimmy Bowskill and the Barnburners, Paul Deslauriers, Rick Fines, David Gogo, and the 24th Street Wailers. -Staff

summer at working with ideAs Improv performers Colin Mochrie, Naomi Snieckus, and Matt Baram listen to the audience at Huff Estates to get ideas for a full-length play they were about to create on the spot.

Trio improvises full-length play at Huff Estates Mochrie joins National Theatre of the World to create comedy featuring turtles, turbines Staff writer

Those in the audience at Huff Estates Sunday night had an opportunity to see a show that will likely never be duplicated again for as long as they live. It's not just that it was a rare opportunity for improv star Colin Mochrie of Whose Line is it Anyway? fame to visit the county, or the fact that the Toronto-based National Theatre Of The World made its way out of its big-city surroundings, but rather their performance will not easily be repeated. Upon coming to stage in front of an overflow crowd in an oversized tent, guest artist Mochrie and co-improvisors Naomi Snieckus and Matt Baram gathered suggestions from the crowd that ultimately led them to produce a steady track of laughter in When the Cat's Away, The Wind Will Blow. Borrowing from the style of several Canadian playwrights, the one-act, fulllength story was set in a cottage â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a setting typical of the most-produced Canadian playwright Norm Foster â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as the main characters tried to bring a resolution to a major life crisis as chosen by the audience. The performers got a few laughs out of a story suggestion by one patron, who

indicated he was missing someone special in his life. While the person made it sound like his friend was away on a trip or faithfully departed, he revealed that wasn't the case, she simply couldn't attend the show. With that in mind, Baram created a jobless character named Mike, who had gone to the cottage to discover how to be real man and how to show his girlfriend Darla that he was his own man. He was joined there by his goofy uncle Rodney, played by Mochrie â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a macho type, who stood up for himself and his beliefs in contrast to Mike. Upon entering the cottage, for example, Rodney was on the phone with Tim Hortons to lodge his complaints about them selling Timbits, consid-

ering the chain's founder, a hockey player with the Buffalo Sabres was killed in an automobile accident. The very idea, he noted comically, was tasteless and off-putting. Rodney also indicated, much to the delight of his audience, that he was crusading against the wind turbines that were killing turtles in his community, often coming back to the question about how exactly turtles are endangered by the towers, saying "Do they just fling themselves up there?" The laughs continued to flow throughout the episode as Rodney helps Mike work through his issues by working in as many one-liner about turtles, turbines, and Canadiana as three well-

The audience also got a kick out of suggestions the performers managed to work into the script in order to get one another to pull off challenging gags.

Two local men are hoping their idea will showcase the best things Prince Edward County has to offer this fall. It will showcase the famous Sandbanks beach, it will offer local produce and food, and it will provide a broad stage for the arts. Ryan J. Noth, a Cherry Valley based filmmaker was talking with Dave Ullrich, a Milford musician and curator of online music store www.zunior.com and they hatched out a vision for a show they wanted to stage. “We were talking about the idea and in Year 2, we want to make it a weekendlong event, including a film festival concept to bring the music and film together,” Noth explained. This year, however, to start, the organizers have collaborated to get five Ontario indie acts to play the Sandbanks Provincial Park amphitheatre from 3-9 p.m.

Confirmed acts include Cuff the Duke, from Oshawa; Bry Webb, of Guelph; Diana; Evening Hymns, of Sharbot Lake; and the Hylozoists, originally formed in Halifax. Noth said the music ranges from country-rock sounds to instrumental and electronic sounds. He indicated the idea of a community sitting down to eat together — in a similar fashion to the Harvestin’ dinners Chris Currah described to him — really appealed, particularly at harvest time. With that in mind, Currah will be offering food alongside some of the leading local food truck operations like Picnic, Slow Taco, and Ullrich’s own County Cupboard Lemonade. Linked to the culinary aspect, there will also be a local market featuring the likes of Vicki’s Veggies, Honey Pie Hives, the Portland Bridge Pickling Society, Humble Bread, and the Pink Lunch Pail. Noth says children are also included in the plans as

there will be ongoing programming and ultimately, young artists will be encouraged to decorate the set the musicians will play on. One of the aspects he’s most excited about is reanimating the seldom-used amphitheatre and filling it with music, art, and a sense of community. Noth added Sandbanks superintendent Robin Reilly expressed support for the idea. “September is when their visitorship starts to dwindle. Hopefully we can bring some campers in, or even day-pass visitors. The park is only supported by those charges,” he said. Tickets for the inaugural not-for-profit festival are $40 in advance (Books & Company, www.zunior.com. Proceeds will help the Friends of Sandbanks. Noth is still seeking sponsors and volunteers.

Rotary gives $1,000 to help make PEFAC accessible for those who can’t pay full fees AdAm BrAmBurger Staff writer

With the help of Picton Rotarians, the Prince Edward Fitness and Aquatics Centre (PEFAC) will be able to improve access to fitness within the county. The Picton athletics facility has long had a fund where potential members who were unable, not unwilling, to pay the full price of membership were able to have their membership fees subsidized by the club to allow them a chance to participate there. Last August, PEFAC came to the Rotary club to ask if it might consider sponsoring the program, which sees rising costs and demand regularly. The club’s community services director Marion Hughes said the request found favour with

the club’s membership. “It’s so important, exercise is part of developing a healthy community and there are people who just can’t afford it,” she said. At that time, the club gave $250 with a promise to do more if the funds were available at the end of the fiscal year. On Tuesday at Rotary’s regular meeting, club members presented a cheque for an additional $1,000 to PEFAC general manager Meloni Crandall and fundraising director Brian Mellor. Mellor noted the donation was likely a lifeline that helped PEFAC continue to offer the wide range of programs the community demands from it. He said facility operating costs continue to be a high burden for PEFAC.

“Our assisted membership program represents about 10 per cent of our membership and the costs to run it are extremely high,” he said. “We can safely presume 10 per cent of our operating costs can be attributed to those members.” Mellor said that translates into heating an extra 20,000 gallons of shower water a year, buying 200 extra pounds of soap, accounting for 10 per cent of wear and tear on treadmills and cycle machines, and adding to the amount of cold air or hot air that goes out the door each time it opens. “The costs of this program put a large strain on our operating budget,” he said. “This cheque you have given so generously will go a long way.”

PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY

Looking back in the

Picton Gazette 90 years ago — 1924

n William Kusman, the man who escaped from Picton’s jail was apprehended and sentenced on four charges including burglary and jail-breaking. He was sentenced to a two-year sentence (considered long at the time) in the Kingston Penitentiary. Kusman, only 17 at the time, had a long history of theft-related crimes dating back to his youth in the Windsor area. n Delegates from Prince Edward, Hastings, Lennox and Addington, and Frontenac Counties told the province it should be paying the whole cost of provincial highways running through the regions. The representatives were generally in favour of a proposal to add a one-cent tax per gallon of gas sold in the province to help with infrastructure costs. n Premier Howard Ferguson made it known that in October, Ontario residents would have a plebiscite vote on easing liquor laws within the province. He said the language would be clear about any proposed changes to temperance laws.

70 years ago — 1944

n The second battalion of the Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment returned from the Connaught Reserve Camp having received valuable new training with respect to handling rfiles, protecting themselves against gas attacks, reading maps, recognizing aircraft and field craft, and camouflage. The troops also had a highlight while at the base, being visited by the Earl of Athlone, Canada’s Governor General. The regimental band was also invited to play in his honour. n A pair of accidents claimed the lives of two children in the county the previous weekend. Ronald Maracle, 6, drowned in Picton Harbour, while Gerald Gorsline, 16, was run over by a car backing up. n The tomato growers and processors of the county met at Shire Hall to discuss the creation of a uniform price for picking tomatoes that fall. Ultimately, those gathered suggested a maximum price of 10 cents per bushel should be established.

60 years ago — 1954

n Highways minister George Doucett said if Ontario planned to build a bridge at the Glenora ferry crossing, it would cost about $7 million. Doucett was in Glenora to christen the new Quinte Loyalist ferry, which itself cost $190,000. The piers on both sides of the Adolphus Reach cost $219,000 and it was estimated it would cost $75,000 a year to operate the service with a crew of six men. n The Picton Public Utilities announced that people could only water their laws between 5-8 a.m. and 5-8 p.m. to save costs. It warned it would prosecute those who didn’t follow the set watering times.

20 years ago — 1994

n Pinecrest Memorial School was officially designated as a “green school,” having completed 110 environmental projects during the 1993-1994 school year. Pinecrest was the first school in the county to earn the special distinction and just one of 145 schools in the province so titled. Among its projects were cleaning Waring Creek and school-wide recycling. n For the second time in less than a week, a young boy was struck by a vehicle travelling on Loyalist Parkway. Both boys sustained only minor injuries.

Protecting shorelines the natural way

A few years ago I was invited as a guest aboard a Canadian Wildlife Service research boat on a visit to Scotch Bonnet Island in Lake Ontario to survey gull mortality. Returning to the mainland later that day, we entered a sheltered bay that narrowed as we approached the boat launch. In these placid waters, we noted the usual mindset of lawns mowed to the water’s edge, but one property stood out in particular. This one was a prime example of a hardened shoreline, complete with a concrete seawall and grass trimmed to the edge of the concrete. Certainly overkill in a bay so small as to offer minimal risk of shoreline damage of any description from storms. But, there it was. Had storms been an issue, this relatively thin wall of concrete would have succumbed to wave action long ago, but it hadn’t. It had been there awhile, as it was quite weathered and grey in colour. It actually didn’t look that bad. It just looked unnecessary, hard, unfriendly and out of place. Through the years, we seem to have merged from an attitude of concrete seawalls and gabion baskets in our thinking, to rip rap rock, log cribbing, then to bio-engineering using brush bundles and facines, and finally to 100 per cent naturalization. It has been almost as if some unseen force had been whispering to us all along, gently taking us by the hand, step by step, along a more sensitive route. Instead of working against nature, we were now working with nature. That is not to say there still isn’t a mania present with a few who stubbornly believe that concrete is the only way to go. One only needs to see

OUTDOOR RAMBLES TERRY SPRAGUE

the devastation that I witnessed along one Lake Erie shoreline 25 years ago where a storm lifted cottages, rocks and even concrete and carried much of it across the road. Water is a commanding force, and a vertical concrete wall is no match against the relentless beating of large waves. Wave persistence over time undermines the wall, eventually causing it to slump and ultimately fail. We learn from our mistakes, and we now realize that such merciless assaults on our shorelines and the resulting backwash actually destroys fish habitat. In our misguided efforts in the past to protect, we were, in effect, destroying the very habitat we cherished. We since have learned that gentler ways exist to stabilize a shoreline, and it involves little more than sitting back and letting Nature do the work for you. The extensive roots of shrubs and ground covers will bind the soil together and provide a natural network of protective components to allow the incoming waves to dissipate naturally. This method doesn’t mean you just sit back and let

nature go rampant; you do need to guide it along, choosing plants that are appropriate for the location and watching for invasive species. If done properly, waterfront property owners can still have an unobstructed view of the lake, while providing a buffer zone to prevent runoff and protecting their shoreline from erosion, all at the same time. As an added bonus to naturalizing the shoreline, there is less problem with Canada geese. Geese love lawns mowed to the water’s edge and view it as a convenient grassed runway, free from any obstructions. Even a few bushes and some groundcover are often all that is needed to dissuade Canada geese from leaving the water and making their way to the grass to feed. They much prefer open areas where they keep a wary eye open for approaching dangers and tend to be suspicious of obstructions. I seem to be among the few who suggests fragrant sumac as one option for stabilizing a shoreline. It is low growing, spreads quickly and is a ground cover that is common in the Quinte area. While preferring drier soils than what might be found on the shoreline proper, it is however suitable for the higher and drier areas of the shoreline where efforts to stabilize could begin. Mostly, it is a case of paying attention to what species are already doing well, and supplementing them with a few other select species of shrubs. Red osier dogwood, highbush cranberry, elderberry and pussy willow are just a few of the species suggested for shoreline remediation, along with fragrant sumac (my favourite), Virginia

creeper and bittersweet as ground covers, and turtleheads, swamp milkweed, cardinal flower and touch-menots for additional splashes of colour. All native species, and all easy to acquire. The “ribbon of life” – that narrow band which includes the shallow water and drier shoreline, is a dynamic area, where over 90 per cent of wildlife species live, including birds, amphibians, fish and other aquatic life. It has been a long haul, but shoreline property owners are starting to come around to a more natural approach to managing our shorelines. Four years ago, I was asked to do a presentation on shoreline management to the Skootamatta District Ratepayers Association AGM, in Cloyne. If I had been a church minister, I surely would have been delivering a sermon to the converted. Not only was every person in attendance – and there were close to 100 - pretty much already turned on by the concept of naturalizing their shorelines with native shrubs and trees, but many were already actively protecting their shorelines in this manner. When I started working for the conservation authority back in the 1980s, I created a brochure on shoreline protective works, where I even included concrete seawalls as an option. Those brochures are now out of print, and I am pleased to confess that even a master copy no longer exists in my files!

Canadian basketball on upswing in recent years for several reasons

WHILE Dr. James Naismith may have been living in the United States when he created the rules to basketball, he was born in Canada and received much of his education in sport north of the border. Through genealogy alone, Canadians could surely claim that basketball has been at least partially their game from the very beginning. It’s somewhat puzzling, then, how it has taken so long for Canadians to take ownership of the sport and, until recently, how few Canadian players managed to break into the big-time and play in the National Basketball Association for any length of time. An American analyst with ESPN, Jason Whitlock, put forward a theory that among basketball people, Canadian players were generally seen as laid back and they perhaps didn’t want it as bad as others, including those from just south of the border and even those from Europe, who seem to receive similar criticisms from some regular hockey contributors in these parts. A more accurate theory, however, might be to look at the population of Canada compared to the population of the United States or any other athletic superpower and consider just how many young people are coming through the system at any time who have the physical and mental makeup to compete in sporting events at the collegiate or even at the professional level. Canada has a much smaller pool of talented athletes to draw from and, for many years, this country simply wasn’t as basketball driven as others. Children would grow up watching Hockey Night in Canada and reading about the exploits of the Toronto Maple Leafs on the front pages of the newspaper. Surely then, particularly before hockey became so ridiculously expensive, many of the stronger athletes were more concerned with becoming the next Darryl Sittler or Doug Gilmour than the next Larry Bird or Magic Johnson. With years of top athletes being pushed toward this country’s puck dreams, it also only made sense that more coaching and development infrastructure was built for that sport. Likewise, before Canada was allowed to put its top hockey players on the ice in the Olympics, its Olympic heroes more often than not competed in sports like skiing or swimming. Those events were the source of more dreams than the hard court proved to be. Today, however, basketball is starting to emerge in this country and it’s doing so for several reasons. The first is the notion that the NBA marketing machine managed to develop stars like Michael Jordan that found their way into pop culture and into Canadian markets in the past generation. Then, with the NBA at its height in popularity, the Toronto Raptors came on board and invested a lot of money in developing the game at a grassroots level. They took a share of the sporting media, also, and showed Canadians they could take a share of the spotlight. A scrappy Steve Nash also changed perceptions by choosing basketball over hockey and finding a way to become the best player in its best league. Fast forward to today and some of the children who learned from the Raptors and learned from Nash are knocking on the door. For two year in a row, a Canadian has gone first in the NBA draft. Coach Dave Smart’s Carleton Ravens routinely beat American schools with hard work and talent. That’s just a start, too. When one considers basketball is affordable and it is the fastest growing youth sport in this country with programs such as Rob Garden’s County Clippers and Panther Hoops flourishing right here, the sky’s the limit. Soon, basketball, too, may be considered our game.

What are book clubs reading this summer?

The Public Library in Prince Edward County provides book club titles for nineteen different book clubs, eleven of which meet at the various branches of the library. Regardless of the meeting place, many book clubs have come to rely on the library to obtain multiple copies of the titles they are readings, and the service is much appreciated according to book club members. Recently, a library patron asked what the library’s clubs were reading, which prompted this column and our amassing a list of the books recently requested by book clubs. The list is now posted on our library blog. As well, a list of the many book club sets the library has available can be found there as well. Visit www.peclibrary.org online or ask a staff member to print a copy for you at any branch. One of the titles recently requested is Dear Life by Alice Munro. Always a popular author, Munro’s books have become increasingly so since her winning the Nobel Prize in literature. A master of the short story, Dear Life is a 2012 collection, reissued in celebration of her award, that ends with autobiographical pieces. Munro is quoted as saying, "I believe they are the first and last – and the closest – things I have to say about my own life." Another popular title with book clubs has been Annabel by Kathleen Winter. One of the titles on this year’s Canada Reads on CBC Radio, Annabel deals with the birth of an intersex baby in 1968 in rural Newfoundland. “The baby's parents make the difficult decision to raise the child as a boy named Wayne,” explains the CBC web site, “keeping his feminine side a lifelong secret in the rigidly defined masculine culture. But as Wayne grows up, he can't entirely ignore the feminine presence in his identity. Annabel is an unforgettable novel about one person's struggle to discover the truth in a culture that shuns contradiction.” Annabel was shortlisted for the Scotiabank Giller Prize, the Rogers Writers' Trust Fiction Prize, the Governor General's Literary Award and the Orange Prize. In non-fiction, one book club read Hot Art: chasing

thieves and detectives through the secret world of stolen art by Joshua Knelman. Thieves stole three paintings worth $73,000 in Toronto a few years ago and the amount is not a surprising one in the world of art thieves, according to Knelman’s book. The network of thieves is flourishing in a society where the fine art business rakes in billions annually. A captivating and indepth study of a side of the art world that few are privy to, including a look into galleries, museums, auction houses, as well as private and public collections, the book is said to be a fascinating read. Other titles read by book clubs include The Inconvenient Indian by Thomas King, The Light of the Evening by Edna O’Brien and The nine lives of Charlotte Taylor by Sally Armstrong, to name a few. For a full list of titles, visit the library web site blog at peclibrary.org We also welcome requests for book club sets of popular titles. If a club wishes to meet at any branch of the library, we are happy to have the books delivered to members at any branch. “We look forward to making your book club experience a comfortable and enjoyable one,” says Library chief executive officer Barbara Sweet. “If there is any way we can improve the service, we look forward to hearing from you as well.” If you do not belong to a book club and would like to join one, speak to the circulation desk staff at any time to see if one is accepting new members. We are also happy to help you start a book club by providing a poster and promotion to attract members.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Talented performers give back to community

On July 13 I had the pleasure of attending a fundraising concert at the beautiful historic Picton United Church. The concert was held by local musicians and entertainers in order to help defray the legal costs of the Prince Edward County Field Naturalists as they proceed to the Appeal Court of Ontario. Their very worthwhile goal is to keep Prince Edward County's south shore turbine free. I have one word for the calibre of music at this concert- Outstanding. This was a very fast paced show with Ed Sullivan, aka Mark Davis introducing the performers. Even though the concert was over three hours long you

did not want it to end The fact that these entertainers enjoyed performing with each other was not lost on the audience. You could tell that they were having a "swell time'' harmonizing or supporting each other as backup singers. I think that Jeanette Arsenault said it best when she stated that she had performed many times with these entertainers and performers but that afternoon was magical. These were all local county musicians who volunteered their time to perform for this very worthwhile cause. They included the Reasons, the Reasonettes, Mark Davis, Suzanne Pasternak,

the Frere Brothers, Mark McGreevy, John, Penny and Roanna Kitchen, Lenni Stewart, Jeanette Arsenault, Tom Leighton, Rita de Ghent, Little Bluff, Judy Fraser and her father Bud Gregory. The amazing fact about Gregory is that he not only sings ,plays the harmonica, does a great George Burns impression but whenever he is asked to perform in a fundraiser he does so without hesitation. By the way, Gregory is 88 years young. I believe that there is a message here for many of us. It is never too late to help your community. I have mentioned the musicians that appeared at this concert but there are

many, many other county entertainers who also willingly give of their time to help local causes. The next time you see an entertainer or musician think about thanking them for "giving back" to their community. If you have an opportunity to attend a concert (fundraising or otherwise) where any of these musicians are performing consider doing so. I don't believe that you will be disappointed as you will experience outstanding music from the ‘30s to today. It might even prove to be a magical time for you. Fran Renoy Picton

Neonics are harming bees, butterflies, worms, birds

The County Weekly News carried an article on Thursday June 26, 2014 on the multiple benefits advanced by insecticides, written by Henry Van Arkum, chair of the Grain Farmers of Ontario. Van Arkum acknowledges that “As pollinators, bees are vital to our food chain”. He also mentions that “Bees are vitally important to the sustainability of our agriculture by contributing nearly $2 billion to crop pollination in this country alone.” So, why are we on a path of destroying bees and other pollinators? Whereas the Van Arkum insists that “bee

colonies have increased by 24 per cent since 2008”, your local bee keepers will tell you the real facts regarding their drastic hive losses. Here is a quote from The Task Force on Systemic Pesticides, a group of 50 independent scientists from around the world: “Far from protecting food production, the use of neonics is threatening the very infrastructure which enables it, imperiling the pollinators, habitat engineers and natural pest controllers at the heart of the functioning ecosystem”. There are too many references to be cited here telling of the annihilation of bees

and other pollinators caused by neonicotinoids (neonics). Neonicotinoids are a family of chemicals with names like thiacloprid and imidacloprid. The European Union has placed a moratorium on the use of these insecticides. In Prince Edward County, we are fortunate enough to have a forward-looking Council who has advocated a similar restriction on the use of neonicotinoids pending further studies. Pollinators are at risk. Their death rates are alarming. Neinicotinoids pose a serious risk to honey bees and other pollinators. Neon-

ics also harm butterflies, earthworms and birds, because these insecticides are now found in soils, sediment, groundwater, and waterways. One step forward may be to encourage our farmers to revert to farming with heritage seeds — without insecticides, whether seed encoded or sprayed on their fields. And, yes, in order to compensate farmers adequately, we may have to pay more for our food if it is grown naturally. Ursula Cattelan Picton

Cutting of vacant lots also destroying wildlife habitat

It has been good to see the concern lately over the plight of our bees and butterflies, and also encouraging to see the “bee friendly” signs popping up all over the county. Something that bothers

me a lot, though, is when I see large vacant lots being routinely cut. Is it for “neatness?” These areas could be providing much-needed habitat for the small creatures. Where I live, on Bond

Road in Milford, I was so saddened when I saw a property close to us that had been brimming with beautiful wild flowers last week (they don’t cut it until it grows up a bit) cropped to the ground today.

Please, please consider saving your time, your gas, your money, and a little bit of space for others on this planet. Alison Hicks Milford

fessional, and courteous. This service is going to be missed by me and many others. I wish Mike and Evan

Pet Valu promo raises over $10,000 for animals Local store ranks second nationally in Paws fundraising campaign AdAm BrAmBurger Staff writer

It appears Picton pet owners have a soft spot in their hearts much bigger than one to accommodate own four-legged friends. This April, the local Pet Valu store joined with other stores in its chain as well as Paulmac’s and Bosley’s to invite customers to purchase special paws to support animals without forever homes within their communities. When the tallies were completed, the Picton location fundraised the second largest total of any store in Canada, raising $9,043 in cash donations and also collected more than $1,000 worth of products that it

would donate to the Loyalist Humane Society and Prince Edward County canine control. “It’s quite a big thing. We really have to thank our customers because they are the ones who are doing the donating,” said Picton Pet Valu owner Tricia Daley. Daley noted that a lot of people bought the paws to display in the store window, donating cash from as little as $1 each to totals that exceeded $10 at a time. “Families bought paws, donated food and supplies, and a lot of people participated in our special events,” Daley said. “It’s so inspiring to see people rallying around these deserving pets and we’re hon-

oured to be able to help.” Both Loyalist Humane Society president Gail Robinson and canine control officer Susan Mitchell said the donations were much appreciated. They’ll go to providing food, litter, bedding, and toys for animals in the agencies’ care. Across Canada, more than $1 million was raised. The campaign was also staged to help raise awareness to pet adoptions. The Loyalist Humane Society at 1297 County Rd. 4 has more than 250 cats available for adoption or sponsorship. At press time, Mitchell indicated there were no dogs available at canine control for adoption. Its office is at 35 County Rd. 14.

Sarah Kaesmacher had her final chance to address the Rotary Club of Picton Tuesday as their current exchange student. The former PECI student told the club she was to board a plane Wednesday and leave for her hometown of Embourg in the Liege province of Belgium. She said, however, she’d always remember her time in the county and in Canada and would encourage anyone, including her own potential children to follow in the exchange program. “I had a really good year,” she said, telling Rotarians she had three goals this year: to meet new people, to absorb and fit into a new culture, and to learn English. Kaesmacher had very little difficulty with her learned language in her farewell address and she thanked Arlene Wright, the wife of Rotary counsellor Frank Wright for spending extra time to help teach her and to let her practice. At PECI, Kaesmacher became quite involved in student life and took part in sports like cross country and

tennis. In the latter, she excelled, winning gold in COSSA tennis. She said she really enjoyed her school. “It was a really nice school and all the students were nice to me,” she said. Other highlights included visiting the United States and skiing and a cross-Canada trip she embarked on with other visiting exchange students in recent weeks. Kaesmacher said she enjoyed the big cities and hiking in Banff and added Canada Day on Parliament Hill was another highlight, even in the rain. “It was the best trip ever,” she said, adding she made lifelong friends that she hopes to see again. She added that anywhere the group mentioned Rotary, they were welcomed and treated with respect. Returning to Picton last Sunday night, Kaesmacher said it has been a sad time saying goodbye to host families and friends who have become like family, though she’s excited to get back to her own family at home. She noted it likely wasn’t a final good-bye, however as Kaesmacher is planning to return to Picton, maybe even within the next two years.

Pioneer Days drum up support for Alzheimer Society Families visit Picton’s Red Barns to learn about traditional crafts Chad Ibbotson

Free Shuttle Service

Staff writer

The sights and sounds of the past were alive in Picton this weekend. Once again the proprietors of Picton's Red Barns welcomed the public into the artisan's playground with their Pioneer Days event in support of the Alzheimer Society of Prince Edward County. Owners Heather Watson and Peter Josic gave visitors a tour of their studios, including woodcarving, glass blowing, and blacksmith demonstrations. It's the eighth year they've held the event. “It's a good chance for all the people in the area to see what we do and experience the place,” said Watson. While the event has always been held in support of the Multiple Sclerosis Society, this is the first year Pioneer Days has supported the Alzheimer Society. Watson said the cause was chosen because of the need in Prince Edward County. “Prince Edward County, especially the Picton area, has an aging population,” she said. Last year the event brought in approximately 400 people and as of Saturday afternoon Watson said the event was attracting a steady stream of visitors. She said people are drawn to the past and the day provides a connection with crafts that haven't changed in hundreds of years. “All of the things we do are hundred-year-old crafts

— all of these things are the done the same way they've always been done,” said Watson. “There's a connection there. If you're a blacksmith you pound iron, if you blow glass your get glass hot and turn it, if you do pottery you play with clay — none of those things have changed.” She said visitors get excited to see the demonstrations and many haven't seen how the crafts are made up close. She said Red Barns offers a unique experience in itself because of the variety of crafts. “There's nothing like this in all of Canada that has this many things on one piece of property,” said Watson. “You can often go to towns where you can tour different studios and see different things, but here it's one stop and see everything.” Josic, who regularly

He said the goal of Pioneer Days is to gain some exposure while contributing to an important cause. “The rest is for the kids — kids come and have a ball,” he said. “It's just kind of being part of the community.” While visitors may not be able to recreate crafts like stained glass and blacksmithing at home, he said he believes the atmosphere can encourage aspiring artists. “We like to think we can inspire people to carry on the art form,” he said.

Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest winery established in Cressy

Last weekend I traveled to the eastern part of the county and had a great wine and cheese tasting but I also stumbled across the newest winery in the county; Michael Lewis opened Cape Vineyards just that day! Cape Vineyards is named after Cape Vessey which is a large rock cliff face that looks over Lake Ontario and is located close to the vineyard. The Cape was used by sailors as a positioning beacon to aide in navigating the Lake Ontario. The property is a 120-acre farm with six acres of vines planted and was originally planted as a vineyard in the mid-1990s by the previous owner. The vineyard has some of the oldest vines in Prince Edward County and the grape varieties that are currently planted include Cabernet franc, Pinot noir, Vidal, Pinotage and Petite pearl. Lewis was searching for a suitable location for a vineyard in 2007 and spent hours driving the county roads looking for a great location. He was working as a police officer with Durham Regional Police Service and would drive down with a fellow officer who knew the area well as he grew up in Deseronto. He also attended many of the local wineries and restaurants to taste what the county had to offer in the way of food and wine. Lewis had toured Canadian wine regions like Niagara for many years. He also made several trips to Napa Valley as his brother was living in California and also had visited wineries in Italy and Greece on a trip to Europe. He finally found what he thought the perfect location for a vineyard would be. It had deep soils with a limestone base, the moderating effects of Lake Ontario, and a 100 meter high escarpment around the property. He purchased the property for his 40th birthday in 2010. Lewis started in the spring of 2010 by crawling on his hands and knees trying to locate Pinot noir vines that were buried up to his chest in weeds. With a shovel and a whipper snipper he finally

DOLE FRUIT COCKTAIL 2.84L Reg 9.99

cleared a large enough section of the vineyard to get a count on how many vines had survived several years without being cared for. He would then spend his days off and holidays cleaning the vineyard, planting new vines, and running a new trellis system. It was a large scale rehabilitation project that included re using and re proposing many of the materials already on site. At night he would stay in a tent or his pickup truck and cook his food on an old camp stove. In the spring of 2010 he introduced himself to Pat DelGatto and told him that he just bought the vineyard down the road. Since then they have made wine together, fixed tractors, and assisted each other at harvest. They became good friends and are currently working on their plans to introduce Pinotage wine, with the grapes grown in otheir vineyards. Lewis started building the winery and tasting room in January 2013, with a period of warm weather right in the middle of winter. He asked seven of his police officer friends that he worked with in the Whitby station with Durham Regional Police to lend a hand. They arrived early in the morning and they started to frame up the structure. After two long days of hammering nails and lifting walls into the foundation, the structure was up and taking shape. It took 18 months of hard work and building was completed. Everyone he knew helped him get the building completed and assisted him

with work in the vineyard. Michaels' partner Kristen Rogers is the vineyard manager and they work in a close partnership planning and preparing the vineyard and winery grounds. She has planted all of the beautiful gardens around the building including the raised vegetable gardens located next to the vineyard. Kristen has finished most of the interior work of the tasting room including painting the artwork that hangs on the walls. Lewis still works full time with the police force and brings his boys Mason (8) and Matthew (11) to the vineyard as often as possible to help in the vineyard and the

gardens during the day and to enjoy camp fires at night. Cape Vineyards is currently offering 2012 Cabernet franc, 2012 Pinot noir, 2012 Chardonnay, and a 2013 Vidal.

Plan ahead for future garden changes while your plants are still at their mid-summer peak

ASK A MASTER GARDENER

KATHY MACPHERSON

to achieve a better balance.

I will plan to remove all perennials from those beds, raise the soil up early next spring and vow only to use annuals in those beds from now on. I’ll get some popsicle sticks at the dollar store and a few colored magic markers. I’ll mark the location of those plants that I want to move in early spring with a colored popsicle stick so that I can recognize them when they just peek their heads out of the ground at transplant time. I’ll make another sketch of where the new transplants will go. While I am at this chore, I’ll probably pull out a few weeds and do some serious deadheading so I can get more summer blooms. I’m

While I am at it, I’ll make a note of plants that need thinning out to get more air flow. I’ll also decide which plants are underperforming and make some judgments on why they may not be doing so well. Some reasons could be lack of sufficient sunlight or too much sunlight. There could be issues with the soil, they could be too crowded or as in my case in the walnut grove that is my back yard, they could be affected by the toxin, juglone, created by black walnuts. Those plants may be moved in the spring or may be relegated to the compost pile. In the case of the juglone tainted gardens,

even thinking about putting in some zinnia seeds that I didn’t get in earlier in the season. Maybe they will have time to mature sufficiently to give me some late August or early September blooms. After all, what have I got to lose? On the idea that good trees make good neighbors; I recently had a request for advice to a county resident who is in the unfortunate situation of having a neighbor build a tall addition on their house, effectively destroying the previous privacy between the houses. Her question is about what kinds of trees to plant that will obscure the addition and her interest is in having rapid growth. The

This has been a marvelous year for gardening so far. We’ve had sufficient rain to keep the soil moist and some cool weather along with some warm weather so that the plants are thriving. The gardens in the county look spectacular. The time for planning changes is right now while our gardens are at their peak. Here’s what I plan to do this week. I will take out my garden journal and walk around the gardens making sketches of what is there right now. I’ll take a really critical eye to the balance of height and color in the gardens and make decisions on which plants need moving in the early spring

Available in most new Ford vehicles with 6-month pre-paid subscription

plan is to put in some Norway spruce trees for all season coverage with a couple of maples interspersed to provide a leafy coverage in the summer time. Neither the spruce nor the maples are particularly fast growing but both are very sturdy and will resist wind damage that many faster growing trees are susceptible to. Another idea is to build a berm along the lot line so that the trees will be given a height boost right away. If you are thinking of changes for next year that include adding some trees that would give you additional privacy and shelter for the local bird population, resist the temptation to go for fast growing at the expense of longevity. Also look out for evergreens that are not field grown in Ontario as they may not be hardy enough to survive a winter like we had last year. Fall is the perfect time to plant trees.

County accepts Anglican donation Deal subject to agreement on fence

Council accepted the proposed 2.5-acre land donation from the Anglican diocese and Parish of Marysburgh at Tuesday's meeting. The parcel is located next to Mount Tabor Playhouse along County Rd. 17 in Milford and is currently maintained by the municipality and is used for a variety of activities including the Milford Fair. The diocese was looking to donated the historically used potion of the land to the municipality before going through with a planned sale of a rectory building adjacent to the property. Council accepted the donation Tuesday, subject to signing a transfer deed and an agreement by the diocese to include as a condition of the sale the future purchaser's acknowledgement that the municipality “shall not be requested to erect a fence along the new property line separating the public and private lands.” The motion also says the municipality will cover the cost of surveying the new property. South Marysburgh councillor Barb Proctor applauded the church's kindness. “We've had decades of memorable events on this land,” she said. “The generosity of the Anglican Diocese of Ontario, we're extremely grateful for it.” -Chad Ibbotson, Staff

Dukes acquire veteran defender from Nepean

Judson expected to play shutdown role with Wellington in final junior campaign Jason Parks

Staff writer

The left side might not be the easiest route to the Wellington Dukes net next season for opposing OJHL forwards. The local Junior A hockey club has beefed up its blue line with the acquisition of Connor Judson, a righthanded shooting defenceman from the hockey hotbed of Shaker Heights, Ohio. Judson comes to Wellington through a deal developed by Dukes coach and general manager Marty Abrams and his Nepean Raiders counterpart Peter Goulet. Judson, 20, suited up in 59 games last season for the Central Canada Hockey League club and while he didn't land on the score sheet often (two goals, four assists), he was an imposing physical presence at 6'3”, 220 lbs. Abrams said he expects the right-handed shooting Judson to bring certain elements to the Wellington lineup. “We expect him to come in at 20 years old and provide some leadership but also be a great fit to play with Andrew Coupland and make a great pairing,” Abrams said. “He's got tremendous size and strength and he's a great skater.” Judson skated for one of Goulet's Chowder Cup teams this past weekend in Boston but the hulking defender caught Abrams’ eye last season when he was

connor JuDson

playing for the Raiders. “I watched him play last season in Nepean and Peter and I have been working on this for a number of weeks,” Abrams said. With the pick up of Judson, the number of 1994-born players the Dukes have on their roster is seven. In addition to the aforementioned Coupland, team captain Erick Delaurentis and Joe Mckeown are locks for the opening night roster. Trevor Cope was expected to go away to school to NCAA Division I Michigan Tech although a late season leg injury that cost the winger 14 games might have stunted his development just enough for the Huskies to put him off for another season. Forward Spencer Turcotte and blueliner Austin Broadhurst are question marks for this coming season but would have to establish themselves as front line players in training camp this fall in order to make the team as

Danford blanks Beatty Seeds 5-0 to move into first Copperheads pull out victory to spoil Terra Vista’s bid for top spot in local fastball loop Jason Parks

Staff writer

A new leader in the Prince Edward County Men's Fastball loop has emerged. After weeks of being within a point or two of first place, Danford Contracting of Frankford climbed into top spot Tuesday night on the strength of a 5-0 blanking of Beatty Seeds in Picton. Brendan Smith (who was chased in the first inning when the same to clubs met last week in Frankford) was masterful

in a curfew shortened six inning affair, striking out 10. Rob Black blasted a three-run bomb to help pace the Contractor offence. With the win, the Danford group moves their record to 5-3-1 to lead the league. In the early game at the Fairgrounds, the Terra Vista Rockies could have moved into first place all alone but were upended by the Roblin's Family Plumbing Copperheads 6-2. Wil Claus was the win-

ner for the Snakes. Chris Roblin opened the game with a single and was driven home by Josh Carney's opposite field double. Carney would score on Claus's single later in the frame. With the loss, the second- place Rockies' record fell to 5-4-1. Whitepine Watershed hold down third in the league with a 5-4 record while the Copperheads are making haste, improving to 3-7-1 with their win. Warren's Excavating Ameliasburgh A's are at 2-

3-1 while the basement is being firmly occupied by Beatty Seeds who are at 1-9. All the action is across the Skyway Bridge this evening as the Copperheads play the Napanee Midgets (as part of the interlocking schedule with the Loughborough League) in Napanee tonight at 7:30 p.m. On Tyendinaga, Ameliasburgh plays Whitepine at 7:30 p.m. On the main diamond while Frankford takes on Sydenham at 8:30 p.m. on the back diamond.

Wellington entries have disappointing time in Boston Chowder Cup squads fail to score as Abrams had hoped heading into tournament Jason Parks

In years past, the chowder in Boston has been very much to the Wellington Dukes liking. Players from Wellington have made splashes and wound up in the all-tournament team and the club has been a contending outfit on the final day of competition. But this year at the John Cunniff Senior Chowder Cup, the ingredients (such as offence) were off and it made for a less-thanimpressive showing by Wellington at the annual

mid-summer showcase event. A pair of hockey clubs wearing Dukes uniforms took to the ice in New England this past weekend. One club, the Junior A Dukes, was comprised of everyday players with the local organization including Abbott Girduckis, Joe McKeown, Josh Supryka plus prospects and backstopped by mid-season acquisition and likely 20142015 starting netminder Taylor Welsh. The other squad was a club built from the Central Development Hockey

League Dukes and staffed with 16- and 17-year-old players that will be trying to crack the Wellington lineup at the Dukes training camp next month. Overall, Wellington Dukes Coach and General Manager Marty Abrams was underwhelmed with both club's performances this past weekend and was alarmed with the lack of scoring by the Junior A Dukes. In three games, the big squad managed just two goals. “I was a little disappointed with our veterans and prospects team, really

disappointed in the results, we really struggled to score goals,” Abrams told the Gazette Tuesday. “I know it's July and some of them haven't been on the ice a whole lot but I thought we were capable of scoring more goals.” Not that Wellington was blown out of the water by stretch. The defensive corps led by Jacob Panetta, Jacob Hetherington and new comer Jake Falcao gave the Dukes solid minutes and helped Welsh shine as he only gave up five goals.

Dukes edged 1-0 with playoff berth on line

CHOWDER, from page 26

Abrams liked what he saw out of the OJHL veteran puck stopper and it's clear the Orangeville native has a chance to be Wellington's number one netminder this coming season. “I thought he was outstanding,” Abrams said. “People don't realize, he's played a lot (65 games) of games in our league and he's an OJHL vet. He's in great shape, we're excited about it.” On Thursday, Wellington tied a showcase team from the Hockey Essentials group 1-1. Abbott Girduckis scored Wellington's marker. On Friday, Wellington lost 3-1 to a Toronto-area showcase team called Arsenal Hockey, however, the player getting all three goals for the winners was Jimmy Soper of the OHL's Kitchener Rangers. Finally on Saturday with a berth to Sunday's championship round on the line, the club lost a tough 1-0 game to the Eastern Eskimos. In the College Open bracket for players born in 1997 and 1998, Wellington did manage to get a win on the second day of the tournament. The collection of players that have been suiting up for the Wellington Dukes Central Development Hockey League team

impressed Abrams over the past few months. “They've had a tremendous couple of months. We're pleased with the CDHL program and it's something that will continue and expand next season. Players like Austin Labelle, Shaw Boomhower, Aidan Girduckis and Justynn Stevens have played very well for us,” Abrams said. Boomhower and Derek Boudreault had goals in an opening game loss to the Bears Hockey, a team made up (mostly) of players from the vaunted Selects Academy. On Friday, Wellington righted the ship with a 5-3 win over the Niagara Whalers. Labelle, Boomhower, Brandon Martin, Wyley Veinot and Dorian Overland all lit the lamp for Wellington while Jack Moore picked up the win in net. But on Saturday, the scoring troubles that had been plaguing their Junior A counterparts reared its ugly head at an inopportune time. Wellington was blanked 5-0 in a do-or-die game against the Wild Cats Elite outfit, an offseason showcase organization that boasts Calgary Flames super prospect Johnny Gaudreau and ex-Cobourg Cougar sniper Patrick Jobb as alums.

County to move forward New district governor visits Rotary Club of Picton to see the Picton club, one of with plans for fire station Thompson looks for the strong clubs in his district, help lead the way to membership growth in Picton industrial park increased Rotary attendance chAd iBBotson Staff writer

Council has voted to move forward with a plan to construct a new fire station along McDonald Drive in Picton that would replace the current Picton and Heights stations. On Tuesday council voted to have staff proceed with a site evaluation of the 8.6-acre McDonald Drive parcel and give detailed design and tender preparation for a new eight-bay fire station at the location. The motion also calls for a new Picton ambulance base to be integrated into the new fire station. It was approved by a margin of 13–2 in a recorded vote Tuesday with councillors Alec Lunn and Dianne O'Brien voting against. Councillor Jamie Forrester was absent. Lunn pulled the motion from committee of the whole minutes Tuesday, questioning whether building a new hall should even be on the table. “Quite frankly, spending $5 million beefing up our fire halls when our roads are falling apart — how are we going to get our fire trucks down these roads — no matter how new they are, no matter how nice our fire halls are,” he said. “I'm not prepared to support this.” A committee-of-thewhole report from June 26 gave low cost, medium cost, and high cost scenarios for the new station at $3,583,000, $4,136,000, and $4,479,000

respectively. The estimated project cost for the industrial park location is based on 12,153 square feet for the fire station and 4,200 square feet for the EMS base. The report says the new hall would result in a 20-year savings of $189,000. Councillor Terry Shortt said it has been, “a long, hard battle” to get to this point. “We have an aging fire system. Our buildings are in poor shape, for the most part they can no longer do the functions they were meant to do in the first place,” he said. “The size of equipment has outgrown them.” He said the money that goes to the municipality's fire department is minimal, especially when compared with other emergency services like policing. While the initial motion Tuesday called for a tender for the new hall to be brought forward to council, an amendment was made to alter the wording to say “tender preparation” giving council an opportunity to see a rough estimate of the cost before going forward with a tender process. Corporate services and finance commissioner Susan Turnbull said the municipality can require the design architect to give an estimate on the cost of constructing the building, but Shortt cautioned, based on his own construction experience, that such estimates are generally not close the accuracy of a tender.

Brian Thompson seemed to be enjoying his first visit to Picton Tuesday afternoon. The new governor of Rotary District 7070, overseeing 54 clubs and over 2,000 members from Picton to Alliston visited the district’s easternmost club to meet with executives and address members at a regular lunch meeting. Thompson shared a history of the club, drawing parallels between early efforts of a group of Chicago businessmen to get comfort stations (outhouses) built near the city’s townhall, to works it does now globally to enhance clean water systems

and eradicate diseases, such as polio. That’s a global aim, though he noted Rotarians offer community services in thousands of communities in over 200 different countries. Thompson played a video of international president

Gary Huang sharing his theme “Light Up Rotary” and challenging each club to share the organization with its own community to help make a difference, keying on its own strengths to help. Thompson said he’d like

by 10 per cent this year. This district is one of few in North America that is seeing rising attendance, while many are on the decline. Thompson said statistics show Rotary loses members in their first three years and its overall membership tends to stay around 1.2 million. “It’s a challenge for every club and we have work to do,” he said. He also told the local club members that “fun” is a blueprint for a successful club and encouraged them to enjoy themselves. Following his address, Picton president Rick Jones presented Thompson with a cheque for $1,000, which the club donated to Rotary’s Polio Plus eradication campaign in his honour.

CARDS OF THANKS

POWERS- Frank. We wish to thank all of those who offered their condolensces, visited or called during this difficult time. Frank was a true “county boy”. He loved the land and the lake and could never stay away from it long. He spent the majority of his life in Cressy, or “God’s Country” as he so lovingly called it. He farmed, was a tinsmith, started his own construction business and was a jack of all trades, which he passed along to his sons Steven and Frank Jr. Frank was a proud member of the Elks, Masons, Shriners and Volunteer Firefighter. He was a devoted Poppy who always had time for backhoe or seadoo rides and an endless pocket full of candies. His loving mother, Gena dearly misses his morning visits. I miss his bright smile, mischievous laugh and endless wisecracks. Special thanks to Audrey Whitney, Michael Humphrey (Whattam’s Funeral Home) and the Masonic Lodge. There ‘s a bright new star in the sky tonight...as Dad would say “thousands and thousands”, there must be five hundred”. Lovingly remembered by his mother Gena, children Christine(Shawn), Steven, Frankie(Tootie) and his grandchildren Rachel, Ty, Nicole and Taylor. Thank you to everyone that acknowledged the passing of Keith Fraser, either through phone calls, cards or flowers, your concern meant a lot to us. A special thank you to Al and Julie VanSoelen from Subway, your generosity and thoughtfulness of your wonderful and much appreciated platter for Keith’s celebration of life with never be forgotten, you both are truly an inspiration for all business owners with all you do in our community. Heather, Joe, Alyssa and Ashley Fraser.

To hear your voice and see your smile, To get a hug and chat awhile. So, for those of you who have a father, Cherish him with care. You will never know the heartache, till you see his vacant chair. Always and forever in our hearts. Lovingly remembered by your daugthers: Bev, Brenda (Robert), Debbie (Morris), and granddaugther Angie (Anthony), and great granddaughter Katelyn Mae. STEVENSON, John Edward, our Dad who passed away July 24, 2007. When someone you love dies you never quite get over it. You just slowly learn how to go on without them. But always keeping them tucked safely in your heart. Loving you always and forever, your family.

For example, Baram would challenge Snieckus to speak her lines in rhyme and later, they would suggest to one another they were trained tap dancers while recreating a scene from their first real date. Fresh from their Honeymoon in the Galapagos Islands where they stopped one guy from trying to build turbines, Rodney and Sarah set out to provide the perfect example of what a relationship should be for their younger friends. Side plots emerged in Sunday night's show as Mike (or Darrell) as Darla had referred to him for years revealed Rodney was going to die at the cottage. He had contracted the fictional Stairs SARS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which offered Mochrie a chance for comedic genius as he flopped about, falling over at a whim â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and was too far away from medical facilities to get help, a suggestion prompted by audience concerns about cutbacks at the Picton hospital. As one versed in improv would come to expect things just continued to get nuttier on stage with very little rhyme or reason. Rodney started espousing the conspiracy theory that the turtles actually were the ones running the turbines and they were actually capturing missing cats and using them for fuel. Meanwhile, a bombshell

was dropped that Darla was pregnant and just about due for a baby. Somehow, by some stroke of magic, which all the performers said they understood without needing to explain to the audience, if she had a baby, somehow it would be like giving birth to a new baby-man version of Mike and that would ultimately save Rodney, who had gone off to investigate his theories. He would also be reborn a better man. Whether it was the birth stunt or the actions of a talking soothsaying turtle that ultimately saved Rodneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life is a matter for debate, but everything ended well with a delightful dash of physical comedy, off-the-wall references, and just pure zaniness â&#x20AC;&#x201D; yet it was enough to earn a standing ovation. It was a show that would not be forgotten, which is great because it would be impossible to stage When the Catâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Away, The Wind Will Blow again. Those looking for a similar show from the National Theatre of the World would be wise to look for a show called Impromptu Splendor, which is the concept of improvising a full-length show in the particular style of a playwright or a writer, using suggestions from the audience of the day. Baram and Snieckus often perform the show with different guest artists, like Mochrie.

“Money was set aside for Danforth Road 17 years ago, before amalgamation,” he said. “You're never going to take politics out of this, it will never come out of this, it will always be political.” North Marysburgh councillor Robert Quaiff said the road work is badly needed. “It came to council for a certain reason and that reason is the condition of the road — it was one of the worst rated roads in Prince Edward County,” he said. “… We've got the opportunity to finish this road instead of piecemealing it.” Councillor Kevin Gale agreed, saying the already planned work should be finished. “We should stop playing the shell game here,” he said. “This is a road that needed to be done years and years ago. It's been shuffled and put back on the list.” Engineering, development, and works commissioner Robert McAuley said if the additional funding is not needed, it will stay in the reserve. Discussions on the rest of tender awards appeared to be much less contentious. Council voted to approve a tender for rehabilitation of Crowes Road to Fidelity Engineering & Construction Inc. in the amount of $118,989.80 plus HST. The work will upgrade Crowes Road from the intersection of Scotts Mill Road to 150 metres north. The tender was the only one received for the project and was within the budgeted project cost of $130,000. Council also approved the tender for the replacement of a culvert on County Rd. 17, awarding the contract to Cooney Excavating Ltd. in the amount of $215,485 plus HST. Council also voted to increase that budget by $30,000 that will be funded through federal gas tax dollars. The project was budgeted at $220,000, but engineering and contract administration costs brought the final estimated total to $250,000. Additionally, council voted on Tuesday to award the contract for a Picton water main replacement to Cooney Excavating Ltd. in the amount of $175,415 plus HST. Only one tender for the project was received. The municipality budgeted $263,000 for the repair and replacement of sections of the existing water main on Bridge Street and Union Street in Picton.

evening of fantastic local music. July’s event was no exception. John, Penny, and Roanna Kitchen were joined by Bill McBurney, playing an eclectic variety of songs that spanned genres and decades. Listeners were treated to jazz standards, pieces from broadway musicals, folk classics, country flair, and contemporary ballads. Roanna Kitchen, who is going into her senior year of high school in the fall, said that she enjoys a wide

variety of music: “In my music lessons I definitely focus on opera, so that’s the

technical background, but when I’m with my parents we do a whole bunch of dif-

ferent variety… it depends on the song.” The young singer is

in a university. A wide variety of musical selections, led by the beautiful voices of Roanna and Penny Kitchen – and paired with the guitar playing of John Kitchen and Bill McBurney, led to sing-alongs, standing ovations, and hearty applause. QEMA’s music night was a great success that left people excited to see what was in store for QEMA’s Aug. 20 Music Night. -Jennifer Sommer, QEMA

Municipal policing costs down $291,316 Quaiff says multiple factors contributed to decrease in 2013 billing from OPP Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

While OPP costs are down in Prince Edward County over last year, the municipality's police services board said those numbers could be further diminished if residents take care to avoid 911 hangups and pocket dials. Prince Edward County police services board chair Robert Quaiff provided council with a verbal report on the 2013 review of police services at Tuesday evening's council meeting. “It's an extensive review,” said Quaiff. The review found the municipality had 8,091 calls for service in 2013. Total costs for 2013 were pegged at $4,663,301 — down from $4,954,617 in 2012. “Many factors are noted for the decrease, that includes overtime reduction, staggered shifts … our auxiliary policing program is working very well, we have part-time prison escort, and most recently the early resolution court should reflect further savings for the 2014

review,” said Quaiff. Quaiff said in 2013 Prince Edward OPP spent 630 hours dealing with 911 hang-ups and pocket dials from cellular phones. “This represents 10 per cent of the total calls for service and puts further strain on the costs for the municipality,” he said. “Each hang-up requires two officers who must attend to follow up on every 911 call — whether it's a hang-up or pocket dial.” He said the board wants to make sure the public is aware of the problem so they can help scale back on the calls. The current OPP contract requires payment for 47,633 hours of service plus a percentage of predictable overtime. In 2013 the municipality received 69,202.75 hours of service, the remaining 21,569.75 being provided at no cost to the municipality, Quaiff said. In 2013 he detachment spent about 17,792 hours on patrol, 20,584 hours on administration, and about 15,040 hours dealing with Criminal Code of Canada offences. The detachment spent 4,871 hours dealing with traffic duties. The review makes specific note of the 20,584 administration hours spent in 2013 and says the hours represent many activities that overlap with other categories. The number includes the detachment commander's time, officers' time in preparation for or finishing off their shifts, and supervisory time that isn't related to operations. Picton had the most calls for service in 2013 with 2,435 or 31 per cent of the total and Hallowell had the next most with 2,276 or 28 per cent. South Marysburgh had the fewest calls for service in 2013 with just 142 or two per cent. Bloomfield had the second fewest number of calls with 157. August was the busiest month for officers with 849 calls, while February was the slowest month with 414 calls.

Joan Thissen has organized Community Care’s tag days for 30 years, but the volunteer says this year’s event was the best. Volunteers raised $4,143.75 for the organization’s programming while selling tags in Picton, Wellington, Bloomfield, and in Rossmore. This year, one volunteer covered a whole day at the LCBO near the Bay Bridge to Belleville. Joining Thissen on the committee were telephone recruiters Liz Hickey and Grace Dixon, who scheduled the roster of 56 volunteers for 19 different stations and Jackie Dorland, Barb Lyons, and Christine Davies who helped to count the money. Executive director Debbie MacDonald Moynes added Community Care For Seniors owes a debt of gratitude to the businesses who allowed canvassers in front of their stores during the day. -Staff
