The municipality could soon be looking at Picton industrial park lands as the future site of a new fire station to replace the current Picton and Heights stations. While the motion will still have to be approved by council at their July 22 meeting, committee of the whole voted last week to recommend council have staff proceed with a site evaluation and detailed design and tender for a new eight-bay fire station on an 8.6-acre lot along MacDonald Drive. In April council voted to defer approval of the ninestation plan, asking municipal staff to come back with a report including additional options and potential locations for a new fire hall to replace the Picton and Heights stations. A previous vote to approve the plan had failed in a tie vote. There was fervent opposition to the nine-station proposal which would have had a new 12-bay station constructed near the Picton traffic circle. However, the discussion last week was much less animated, with more than one councillor remarking the new proposal would be a positive compromise. Councillor Terry Shortt sat on the master fire plan working committee that recommended the ninestation plan. He said the industrial park scenario was brought forward by the committee and was rejected. “Politics tends to be an arena of compromise and it seems to me at this point that if I push the nine-station plan, the odds are we'll sit with the uncomfortable option of doing nothing,” he said. “This plan has its merits, I wouldn't say it has all the benefits of the nine-station plan, but it does have some given opportunities.” He said he'd rather compromise and get a pair of aging buildings replaced. “Rather than sit here

and do nothing I'll go along with this plan so we can at least get some improvement going on,” he said. Councillor Janice Maynard agreed it would be an acceptable compromise. “I'm prepared to support this as a compromise solution, nobody gets exactly what they want,” she said. “…We have an alternate location that will end up with a net savings.” Councillor Keith MacDonald has been outspoken in his opposition to the nine-station proposal. Last week he criticized staff for bringing just one alternative location to the table. “It's very surprising to me that other locations were not brought forward to give council at least the opportunity to debate them,” he said. “We have people we represent who could certainly help with the input as far as the location is concerned.” Corporate services and finance commissioner Susan Turnbull said municipal staff, along with fire staff, did a review of six to eight Picton properties and brought forward the industrial park location as their recommendation. The motion approved last week also calls for a new Picton ambulance base to be integrated into the building and to notify the owner of the current ambulance base at 12 MacSteven Drive in Picton that the municipality will not be renewing its lease for the building. The current lease expires in September 2016.

Horticultural society boasts its largest garden show in memory at Crystal Palace Green thumbs get chance to compete, learn, shop in one place Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

Perfect weather highlighted Sunday's horticultural display at Picton's Crystal Palace. The Prince Edward Horticultural Society's annual County Garden Show featured approximately 50 vendors, a Victorian tea, and the ever-popular flower show. Show manager Anne Reeves said last year the show brought in 500 visitors, but midway through Sunday she said it looked like this year's show would surpass that mark. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's the biggest show we've ever had,â&#x20AC;? she said. The Victorian tea room was sold out early on and it remained so throughout the day, said Reeves. She said the show was a good place to visit for those who want to learn about gardening. The show had three guest speakers throughout

the day. Susan Meisner, owner and designer of Spindle Tree Gardens in Tamworth, spoke about her own experience creating the garden and answered questions about designing or redesigning home gardens. Later, Fuller Native and Rare Plants owner Peter Fuller discussed the local landscape and native plants for sustainable gardens. He spoke of how to maintain a trouble-free and natural environment in one's garden. Following Fuller was Tina Moorey, owner of On the Side in Warkworth. Moorey spoke about cooking with herbs and demonstrated how adding simple herbs to cooking can make a big difference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's a good place to come if you want to learn about gardening â&#x20AC;&#x201D; either ecologically friendly gardening, or small spaces, balconies, patios,â&#x20AC;? said Reeves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We

have a really good calibre of vendor.â&#x20AC;? Reeves said growth is important for the show, but not at the expense of the distinct community garden show feel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The main thing that's keeping this show growing as well as it is, is that it hasn't become a home show,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That's a concern.â&#x20AC;? She said she's talked to people across the province and across the country and there is a growing concern about shows taking on large corporate sponsors, and with that, bringing in furniture, appliances and other bigticket items. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As shows start to become more and more successful, they basically get greedy and go after corporate sponsors,â&#x20AC;? she said. She said that's not the case for the County Garden Show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a county show and all the money goes back into the county to various educational bursaries, for various gardens in the community,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Ś I've actually got letters commending us for staying a county garden show and not another home show â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that's what we're really doing well at.â&#x20AC;? The annual flower show saw 163 entries with 62 displays taking red ribbons for first, 41 blue ribbons for sec-

ond, and 26 white ribbons for third. Sandra Dowds' mix bouquet of clematis, delphiniums, lilies, and allium took home Best Horticultural Specimen, Best in Show Horticultural, Best in Show Design, and judges' choice. In the youth category Logann Herrington took Best in Show for a design using

wayside flowers. Visitor Sue Gary said the flower show was her favourite part of the event. The Rochester, New York native said she appreciated the work that went into each of the displays. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's absolutely beautiful,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just to see how much work people put into it. Just knowing that these are

these peoples' babies â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they should be very proud of what they've accomplished.â&#x20AC;? She said the garden show, and the quality of the items available, were impressive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can tell you that at almost every booth, if I had the money, I would have bought something,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's beautiful, the artists are incredible.â&#x20AC;?

Jurors impressed with calibre of work submitted for Art in the County Submissions reflect the quality of artists working out of studios within the municpality; 10 pieces recognized with awards County, particularly the abundance of fiddleheads growing near her Black River home. “The shape of them just fascinates me,” she said.

Judges, organizers, and artists themselves each remarked of the calibre of works on display at Thursday evening's kickoff to the 21st annual Art in the County juried show. The call for entry saw the show receive 129 submissions from 79 artists with 112 being selected for Thursday's exhibition. Pieces ranged from painting to encaustic techniques, fibre art, sculptures, and even cabinetry. The works are on display in the Lipson Room above Books & Company on Main Street in Picton. This year organizers brought in jurors Terry Koyman of Koyman Galleries in Ottawa, Christensen Fine Art owner and painter Peer Christensen of Peterborough, and Canadian Society of Artists member Heather Grindley to examine the entries.The jurors comments: Prince Edward County has an impressive crop of talented artists. “The first thing jurors look for is originality and integrity. Good technical handling of the chosen medium goes without saying. The calibre of talent from which the jurors had to choose for AITC 2014 made our task both thought-provoking and challenging,” the jurors' overall comments said. Art in the County 2014 chair Terry Culbert is inclined to agree. “I think the calibre of the artists in this county is unbelievable — I really do,” said Culbert. “Some of the best artists in all of Ontario are right here, they really are.” He noted the work of Paul Andrews, whose black wal-

nut cabinet titled “The Maker's Mark” took home one of five jurors awards on the night and elicited comments of “Wow! Wow! Wow! Amazing cabinetry,” from the jurors. “That was his first time entering. It's not painting, it's not photography, but it's just the most beautiful piece of art,” said Culbert. Culbert said he was pleased to see so many people attend Thursday's opening night. Artists and art lovers flocked to see the creations and to hear the announcement of the award winners. “I'm completely knocked out — I didn't think it would be as big as this,” he said. “I'm over the moon.” Culbert said the volunteers who helped make the

show a success were “sensational.” The five jurors awards went to: Andrews; Graham Davies for his photo “10 Seconds #1”; Helen Fujiki for her “Twiddledeedee 2” fibre art; Tom Humphries for his painting “Winter Dreaming”; and Mile Murtanovski for his painting “Furious Blunder.” Honourable mentions went to: Rosemary Brown for her painting “Abstract #1401”; Jeanne Campbell for her painting “Amalfi”; Florence Chik-Lau for her sculpture “Nine to Five”; Sharon Fox Cranston for her painting “Wild IV”; and Claudia Jean McCabe for her painting “A Love Affair.” Fujiki recently received the domestic machine quilting award at the Canadian Quilters' Association's

national juried show. Art in the County marks the first time the artist has entered an “art show” rather than a quilt show. She said winning the award is further validation of her work. “It's very exciting,” she said. “I've had my quilting appraised and found worthy by the quilting community … but the fact that jurors said it had a great original concept and colours, it just reinforces what I'm doing.” She said her art was inspired by Prince Edward

COMING FRIDAY SEPT. 12 - RICH ROBINSON OF THE BLACK CROWES

For Rob Holmes, Saturday's Wellington Elks Kids Fishing Derby was all about fun with no expectations. An avid fisherman himself, Holmes was enjoying a sunny Saturday morning of fishing with stepdaughter Molly Williams, 6. “It's awesome. It's a good event for kids to get out and fish and for parents to spend time with their kids,” said Holmes. “There's no expectations. It's fishing, it not catching, that's why it's called fishing.” Holmes said the event was all about having a good time and getting outside. However, he said the event could mean more to kids than just a fun time. “(It can give them) self esteem, new skills. This is her first time on a bigger reel,” he said. “She had a closed-faced Barbie one. She's learning about nature too.” He said the Wellington Elks did a great job of putting the event together. “It's spectacular. They're gearing it for the kids and it's great,” he said. “It's a great community-based organization.” About 22 kids signed up to participate in the derby, which took place at Wellington Harbour's Main Dock. The derby was free to enter and included a free barbecue lunch. Organizer and Elks mem-

ber Ken Rushlow said the Elks wanted to bring a kids derby back to Wellington. Saturday marked the third annual event. “It's just our way of giving back to the kids in the community,” said Rushlow. “They learn a little bit about fishing and derbies, and learn a little bit about the Elks and what we do.” He said the organization likes to have the event coincide with Canada Day and likes to promote getting outdoors — especially fishing. “Kids are stuck inside playing video games all day,” he said. “It's a fun derby and the parents, grandparents, and kids all enjoy it.” Supplies for the event were donated by Belleville Nissan and The Reel Thing Fishing Pro Shop in Wellington donated prizes. Prizes for first, second, and third were awarded for most fish caught in two age groups. There was also a prize for largest bass. Not only had the fish been biting, the kids were bringing in some good sized fish, Rushlow said. “They brought in some large-mouth bass coming in at around the one pound mark, which is big for a bass,” he said. “This year they even caught a little walleye off the dock. There's a little bit of everything this year.” Rushlow said he hoped to see a few more kids out next year.

PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY

Looking back in the

Picton Gazette 90 years ago — 1924

n Promotion reports from various county schools showed a disturbing trend. In some schools, there were only a handful of student registered and in at least one instance, all of the scholars came from the same family. The story questioned whether all of the schools should be kept open to receive government funding when enrollment numbers were so low. n Mail began to flow to the county from Toronto after workers in the province’s biggest city stopped an ongoing strike with promises to be able to keep their jobs and to receive salary increases within two months. Some of the first letters being received were more than 10 days old. n William Kusman, a prisoner in the county jail, scaled a high wall and managed to elude police who were chasing him. Kusman was reportedly seen in Cobourg, where he traveled in a stolen car from Trenton. Rumours abounded about whether he had moved on to Toronto and some suggested he even returned to the county from Cobourg.

70 years ago — 1944

n The frigate H.M.C.S. Hallowell was about to be commissioned and people from Hallowell and Prince Edward County were to contribute comfort items for members of the crew. The Gazette offered its office as a drop-off location for items to go on the ship until a formal committee was formed to oversee the collection and distribution of the items. n Canadian fighter planes had a busy but successful day operating over the Normandy front June 28. Between dawn and dusk, they shot down 26 of 34 enemy aircrafts spotted that day. n James Kerr, a Trenton man who grew up in Picton, made a bit of money while he was flying fighter planes. Before he left England, his father promised him to pay $50 for each German plane that he was able to shoot down. He took down eightand-a-half planes and was able to command $425 upon his safe return to Wales.

60 years ago — 1954 n Kenny Hagen, 5, disappeared after hopping on his tricycle to look for his mother who was picking strawberries at Black Creek. When he went missing, workers of Sun-Joy Foods, McFarland Construction, and the OPP started a search for him. The young boy was found two miles from his Talbot Street home on the way to Black Creek. One wheel was off his tricycle. He indicated he was feeling hot but otherwise fine. nThe Prince Edward Chamber of Commerce planned to produce stickers to place on tourists’ cars for locals to show them courtesy and to advertise the area.

20 years ago — 1994

n PECI produced a then-record 28 Ontario scholars among the 160 graduates who received diplomas at graduation. Those receiving the designation maintained an average of 80 per cent or higher spread over a minimum of six OAC (Grade 13) subject credits. n A mystery donor came through with the $300,000 needed to pay off the mortgage on the Regent Theatre. A cashier’s cheque was given to the Regent Theatre Foundation’s lawyer on the conditions of paying off the mortgage and anonymity.

Forest walking for good health

I had a bath last month. My wife and friends were pleased. However, the bath I took was in the Northumberland County Forest, south of Rice Lake. And, it was done fully clothed. Mosquitoes and other biting insects, you know. It was a type of wash known as “forest bathing”. Anyone who has enjoyed a walk through a wooded area is familiar with that feeling of exhilaration that follows a walk in the woods. The unique fragrances, the sounds and sight of woodland creatures, the heady fragrance of decomposing leaves. It produces a calming effect, far more than walking out in blistering sun. Plants give off volatile organic compounds that serve to protect them from bacteria, fungi and insects. Research into “forest bathing” suggests that we benefit from breathing in these phytoncides. Just a simple stroll in the woods can decrease blood glucose levels in diabetic patients, reduce heart rate, blood pressure, depression, anger, fatigue, and decrease stress hormones. Psychological vigour increases. Our simple stroll was only six kilometres or more, but we emerged totally refreshed and invigorated, so much so, that we walked another kilometre or so in another natural area nearby called Peter`s Woods. The effect was the same. The ethereal sounds of

OUTDOOR RAMBLES TERRY SPRAGUE

the veery and wood thrush as their flute-like notes filtered unseen through the conifers and deciduous trees. They were good sounds for we do not hear hermit thrushes in the Bay of Quinte area, except during spring migration. Then they move on, for slightly more northern forests. Likewise the blue-headed vireo we also heard singing its endless notes, much like a red-eyed vireo, but delivered more slowly. Likely I need more bathing as I could barely detect the lispy notes of a black-throated green warbler, although my friend who accompanied me on this experience had heard it several times before I could pick up the dry, thin calls. Others were enjoying the Northumberland Forest experience – dog walkers, joggers and mountain bikers. Horseback riders had also been

present, judging from hoof prints we saw. All benefiting from forest bathing, whether they were aware of the phenomenon, or not. One of the chief glories of this forest is its open arms approach to everyone – hikers, ATVers, even hunters. However, each interest is relegated to its own particular area, and territories are respected, it would appear. We never heard one motorized vehicle while we were there and there was no evidence that they had ever been on the trail we walked. Yet, I am sure they were present somewhere on the property. The forest is able to accommodate shared use as the property is in excess of 5,000 acres. We walked for almost two hours and never emerged from a canopy of mixed forest. If we had been inclined, we could have walked until nightfall and into the next day without stepping out into sunshine, as there are 45 km of trails on this property. The trail we were on was undulating and we came upon numerous intersections, but all trails and destinations were admirably labelled and marked. ‘You are Here’ maps posted at intersections took the guess work out of determining when we would stumble out into the parking lot again. Our trail took us to the ‘Hogsback’, a seemingly endless ascension to a long homoclinal ridge that offered a phantasmagoria of wooded

valleys below. We caught up with two cyclists who had passed us earlier, the woman charged and ready to continue, the man melted on a bench inhaling water. “She lied – she said this would be fun!” We found them later, in the parking lot, completely recovered, a look of contentment and accomplishment. Perhaps not realizing it, but they had just bathed in the forest, more so than just in perspiration from the ride. It had a calming effect that one could see. We call it forest bathing, but the Japanese who came upon this experience refer to it as “shinrin-yoku”. They believe that breathing in the forest fragrances and natural preservatives as all of us out there did that day, we benefit and become healthier. Even if some of us don`t totally subscribe to the notion that phytoncides can benefit us, one thing can`t be denied. The scent of trees, the sound of rippling brooks, and the feel of sunshine filtering through a dense forest have a calming effect, and we emerge from a forest feeling better, psychologically, than when we went in. That much is a given. For more information on today’s topic, please e-mail tsprague@kos.net or phone 613 848-4549.

Partners issue first update on new hospital planning process The partners involved with the planning process for a new hospital in Picton released their first in a series of bi-monthly updates on the project this week. In a newsletter, the Quinte Healthcare Corporation (QHC), Prince Edward Family Health Team (PEFHT), the South East Local Health Integration Network (SE LHIN), the PECMH Foundation and Auxiliary, and Prince Edward County detailed some of the progress being made in terms of planning.

The first report indicates that since the May announcement that planning was restarted, two planning organizations have been formed from the partners. The first ins a working group, which will meet weekly to do detailed design work. The working group features the capital, program, and medical project directors from QHC, physician leads from the PEFHT, and a manager and team leader from the local hospital. Members of the allied

health and support services teams will also attend as necessary. A second group, the steering team, is made up of representatives from the SE LHIN, QHC, PEFHT, and presidents of the Foundation and the Auxiliary. It is slated to meet monthly to monitor the overall progress of the planning and assist the working group with support and decisions. The working group is presently working on completing the clinical services plan. To

date, the group says it has reviewed all the clinical data and community demographics presented to it. Once the clinical services planning work is completed, the partners will be able to move toward submitting full pre-capital submission documents for approval by the SE LHIN board of directors by fall approval. The next progress report comes in September. -Adam Bramburger, Staff

Education system hasn’t come up with answer for loss of OAC

FOR a vast majority of the students graduating from PECI Thursday night, the teachers tasked with reading their information cards as they stepped onto the stage read “is entering the world of work.” While the Gazette doesn’t have significant raw data to support its inference, it appears the number of students choosing to go from the local high school directly into work without heading to post-secondary education looks to be on the rise. In some respects, with Prince Edward County being an agricultural community, that trend can be understood as farms and wineries require labourers during the summer months. Tourism operations also would provide seasonal employment at least through the shoulder seasons. That said, however, it seems unlikely the county is bucking the trend across Ontario and in many rural areas where there simply aren’t jobs — much less jobs that pay — to support those looking for permanent employment. Some PECI students have taken part in the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program to give themselves jobready skills off the bat, and it is also likely that students placed by co-op education programs at the school have a high likelihood of maintaining jobs given the familiarity they get to have with employers right here in the community. It is hopeful that is driving some of the thrust to the workforce. Our guess, however, is that students are coming out of Grade 12 unprepared to move on to post-secondary education and their solution is to take some time to work before making decisions that are going to impact them for the rest of their lives. Don’t take that wrong, teachers and parents have done all they can to educate the students coming through the system today and Ontario high schools are still turning out some great scholars, it’s just that students are discovering that it makes little sense for them to put down a lot of money to go into a program they’re not sure they’ll, when in most cases they’ll amass more debt while they try to put themselves in a position for a job that may or may not be there. The grads likely won’t find sustainable, longterm work and many will be back at PECI come the fall. It’s been 11 years since Ontario has eliminated the Ontario Academic Credit, or Grade 13 year — particularly to match other jurisdictions who graduate youth earlier and likely to reduce the overall expenses paid into education — but one has to ask if the change in the system has produced the desired results. Studies show that at least a third of the graduates on a province-wide basis are going back to high school to complete a “victory lap” instead of going to post-secondary schooling immediately. Some do it just so they can take part in extracurricular activities for an extra year, some look to mature, and others look to work to get all the money they can saved up before they move on to their next challenge. Evidentially, some students are now deciding they don’t want to be in school that year when they can, presumably, find employment. The trouble is that neither the school system nor the workforce really has the room and resources to accommodate it. Ontario should be looking at ways to help bridge the gap, be it through increased trades apprenticeships or some in-between programming that will help students continue with their development and help the province create new well-paying jobs that will last.

Library welcomes A-frame’s writer in residence

The Al Purdy branch of the County of Prince Edward Public Library & Archives in Ameliasburgh invites the community to a welcoming reception for Katherine Leyton on Saturday, July 5 from 1:30 to 3 p.m. Katherine Leyton will be the first writer-in-residence at the Al and Eurithe Purdy A-frame, the restored home of Al Purdy, one of Canada’s most celebrated poets and Ameliasburgh resident. Al Purdy died on April 21, 2000. It is through the generous support of his wife, Eurithe Purdy, and the dedication of many people in the Al Purdy A-frame Association and its supporters that the cottage has been restored and made available as a writer’s residency. The seed of the idea began approximately ten years ago when local volunteers were helping Eurithe maintain the Aframe. Then, in 2007, Al's publisher Howard White, and Jean Baird – a Purdy friend and a 'literary activist' – decided to set up the A-frame Trust to raise money to purchase the house from Eurithe. This took place in 2012. The Al Purdy A-frame Association was then formed to continue to raise funds for ongoing repairs, and to endow the writer-in-residence program. Katherine Leyton is one of seven writers chosen who will eventually hone their craft within the walls, or on the deck, of the Aframe. The others include Sue Sinclair, Nick Thran, Kath MacLean, Laurie Graham, Rob Taylor and Helen Guri. Leyton, however, will be the first. She moved in on July 1. Katherine Leyton’s poetry and non-fiction have appeared in The Edinburgh Review, The Malahat Review and The Globe and Mail, among other publications. She is also the creator of the unique video poetry blog, HowPedestrian.ca. Its aim is to make poetry more accessible to the general public. The work accomplished by her project is explained on its web site. “From 2010 to 2011 we went out on the street regularly to bribe and beg people to read poems on video. We used poems by famous and not-so-famous poets alike. We used absurd poems and funny poems and sometimes even sexy poems. We hope this project does its little bit to help move poetry out of bourgeois sitting rooms (do those even exist anymore?) and back into the pubs and taxis where it belongs.” In creating How Pedestrian, Leyton hoped to establish key points she feels important in expanding poetry’s reach. These include that no one should be afraid of poetry, that there’s a poet for everyone,

InsIde the lIbrary CHRISTINE RENAUD

and that poetry doesn’t have to be serious. These ideas and her video project helped Leyton in getting selected as the first writer-in-residence. As she explained when interviewed on the Descant blog back in January 2014, “In my proposal, I pitched the idea of filming my howpedestrian videos, where I take to the streets and hand people poems to read aloud on camera. I will focus particularly on poems by Al Purdy and other poets from the area. The committee thought this was a great way to introduce the writer-in-residence project to the community there.” Architect Duncan Patterson and contractor Matti Kopamees have guided the A-frame's restoration. Teams of volunteers have assisted with yard work, cleaning and construction work this spring and summer, readying the cottage and property for the WIR program. Members of Katherine's family joined one very busy workday, and have been an ongoing support. All involved are looking forward to having the community see the improved cottage and meeting Katherine. In addition to the opportunity to welcome and chat with her at the Al Purdy branch in Ameliasburgh on the afternoon of Saturday, July 5, the community is also invited to the second Purdy Picnic on Saturday, July 26, from 11a.m. to 4p.m. Katherine Leyton will be headlining a program of guest writers, and local writers and musicians on the A-frame deck. The inaugural Purdy Picnic held last year was a great success and the expectation is that it will be even more popular this year. Fans of Purdy's work are invited to explore the village that inspired the poet: the Gothic church, the millpond, Grove cemetery, and the A-frame property. For more information on Katherine Leyton’s project, visit howpedestrian.ca online and the AFrame project at www.harbourpublishing.com/PurdyAFrame.

The volunteer staff of Demorestville’s Friendship United Church are inviting youth to their God’s Backyard Bible Camp. Open to ages 4–12, the camp runs July 14–18 from 9 a.m. to noon at the church. The camp will feature activities, games, story time, food, crafts, and a mission. There will be a barbecue for all families on July 18. All are welcome. (Chad Ibbotson/Gazette Staff)

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Health-care advisory committee hive of activity

What an incredible achievement and testimony to the strength of community in the county. A hugely successful public campaign led by the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation to raise $237,282.39 in cash for our new, integrated telemetry heart equipment. This is the county in action saving lives through better healthcare and better tools for our dedicated healthcare providers. Indeed, when it comes to health care in the county, councillor Barb Proctor has been adamant about the need for a dedicated healthcare advisory committee (HAC) at Shire Hall. And kudos to her -- along with overall community development, health

advances in the county, like this modern telemetry gear, may be our most important concern. In fact, as we know, when the County Community Foundation "Vital Signs" report came out last year, the first area of concern was "accessible, affordable health care"! That report went on to assert that "health matters to learning, employment, community involvement, the ability to care for a family and much more." And it asserted that the county was facing some unique challenges with a high rate of teen pregnancy, the demands of an aging population, unhealthy lifestyles, lower life expectancy than most of Ontario, and a rising obesity rate. Surprisingly, councillor

Proctor's committee is probably the only venue with a specific focus for overall health-care concerns in the county. However, at the last open meeting of HAC for this council term (June 25), the public could have heard i) a clear and candid report by Hazel Lloyst, interim director of development for the foundation and how Bancroft's municipal council assists their hospital by reducing mailing costs, ii) an impressive account of the new age-in-place development by Mayor Peter Mertens that seems to be doing the impossible of doing more for less $, iii) a lucid update from the Prince Edward Family Health Team as a model for Ontario, and, iv) an overall review of

plans by QHC for our new state-of-the-art county hospital. Not bad for an hour and half I'd say, given the critical nature of the subject matter. Of course there was a little disappointment too. Not many council members were on hand and neither was The Picton Gazette. That said, let's hope that the incoming council, following our Oct. 27 municipal election, has the good sense to keep this health advisory committee going strong -- and perhaps with more awareness and elected political support. In the meantime, thank you Barb Proctor. You're a councillor with true heart! Bill Roberts Sophiasburgh

Rulings limited Adamthwaite’s chance for fair hearing

Regarding “Picton heritage district now in hands of OMB” June 19, 2014. As a concerned resident of the county who observed the entire OMB hearing regarding the so-called heritage conservation district on June 17, I would like to thank reporter Chad Ibbotson for his detailed description of the proceedings. However, as a lawyer, I wish to make some additional observations about the proceedings that might not have been apparent to a nonlawyer. After ruling that Dr. Paul Adamthwaite could not have an adjournment so that his lawyer could attend, OMB member Mary-Anne Sills then instructed Adamthwaite that he would have to choose between giving evi-

dence as a witness and acting as his own counsel. Adamthwaite said he had planned to give approximately two hours’ worth of evidence. However, he also wished to do what counsel is normally entitled to do: namely, cross-examine witnesses called by the municipality, and make argument. Sills forbade him to take on both roles. Consequently, Adamthwaite was forced to jettison a significant part of the evidence in favour of his case. The County’s lawyer acknowledged that there was no urgency to the matter; nevertheless, the County would not consent to an adjournment. It therefore forced Adamthwaite into abandoning either his evidence, or his right to cross-

examine and submit argument. The unfairness I observed at this hearing has cemented the decision of my employer, the Canadian Constitution Foundation (CCF), to support Adamthwaite’s appeal to further stages of the legal process. We will assist him in retaining a lawyer experienced in municipal law (which, regrettably, I am not) to fight the unfair aspects of this bylaw. The CCF considers it bizarre that a “heritage conservation district” should include modern supermarkets, gas stations, fast food chain restaurants and empty lots. Furthermore, most of the property owners affected had no knowledge that the bylaw was even being considered.

Notice could have been given very simply in their property tax bills, but it wasn’t. Everybody, including the CCF, agrees that there are many elements of the county's architectural, historical and social heritage that fully deserve conservation. But real heritage also includes the right of citizens to transparent government, and the right to a full and fair hearing of appeals. (The Canadian Constitution Foundation is a registered charity that supports the rights and freedoms of Canadians through education and litigation.)

plentiful pAtterns Two years ago, the Prince Edward County Quilters’ Guild moved their quilt show to the Essroc Arena. After a successful event, the guild plans to return to the Wellington facility this July 12-13. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

Guild preparing for quilt show Essroc Arena to host members’ exhibition, vendors July 12-13 AdAm BrAmBurger

Staff writer

The members of the Prince Edward County Quilters’ Guild are busy putting together the final stitches for their show July 12-13. Every two years, the membership of the local guild puts its work on display and teams up with a series of vendors to attract quilters and enthusiasts from near and far to embrace the craft. After a great success in a new venue in 2012, the show’s organizers have decided to keep the event at Wellington’s Essroc Arena. President Maggie Goode says again the show should be well worth the $6 admission price. “People tell us our admission is the lowest around, especially for a show of this calibre,” Goode said, adding she has seen people pay double the price to see a fraction of the quilts available. A primary attraction to the show is the work of the guild members. At present, Goode said there are 72 people involved with the guild and they all have a chance to submit their wall hangings and quilts to be shown every two years. Included in that experience is a chance to have their pieces critiqued by a certified judge before the show opens to the public. “Any member of the guild can have their work judged,” explained co-organzer Deelia Evans, who added this year’s judge will be Bethany Garner of Kingston. Evans said in some cases the public will be able to buy quilts members have on display, though some of the artists will wish to keep their own works. Visitors to the show will also have their chance to vote on their favourite quilt and wall hanging for the viewers’ choice awards. Those looking for a handmade item from a member of the guild can also rest assured knowing that they don’t have to purchase a fullsized quilt. Each year, the show has a members’ marketplace, which allows the quilters to sell a wide variety of the items they produce. This year, the marketplace will have three distinct sections — Christmas, children’s, and general mercantile.

“It’s really worked out that they’ve done it that way. There’s some nice stuff available,” said Evans. Another options for those hoping to take home some of the local flair from the show is to buy a ticket for the raffle quilt. Tickets are $2 or three for $5 and are available from guild members leading up to the show. The top prize is a quilt put together by Geraldine Rorabeck, Carol Harvey, and Anne House. “It’s a beautiful raffle quilt,” said Goode, who described it as machine-pieced applique in floral, basket pattern. She indicated the quilt likely took more than 500 hours to complete. The draw will take place at 3 p.m. Sunday. This year’s show will also pay tribute to three members of the guild who had passed away since the last show and whose influence on the local quilting community was substantial. Connie Sirot, the chair of two of the past quilt shows was active in charitable quilting and she reminded her peers about the importance of labelling quilts. Dorothy Dunn will be remembered for her beautiful hand piecing and quilting. Goode noted she amazed her peers with the volume of her projects and the intricacies of her applique work. Lastly, Betty DeMille, a longtime executive member who will be remembered as the “library lady” will also be remembered as part of an exhibit in the main foyer. For the serious quilters interested in this year’s show, some guest artists and demonstrators will likely be of interest. Textile artist Elizabeth Dillinger, the owner of the Art of Fabric shop in Pickering, familiar to many guild members will be a featured guest artist. Goode said she is a really big draw as she has won first place at the International Quilt Show in Houston, Texas, which is the largest show in the United States. She has also been featured in many magazines including Quilters’ Newsletter. Dillinger has a background in horticulture, which can be seen in some of her projects. “She will do some talks and give examples of her work at the show,” Evans added.

Another special guest this year, Rosalie Tennison is believed to be the first quilt appraiser welcomed to the local exhibition. Goode explains that for $60, Tennison can help quilters protect their investments. “For insurance purposes, she will give a certificate with information about the value and quality of the quilt,” Goode said, adding many quilters leave quilts in their wills and pass them down through family. Tennison started her own career in 2007 when she had difficulty finding a Canadian textile appraiser to deal with her own quilts. She took distance courses with the International Society of Appraisers to learn the craft and she is now an accredited member of the society. The 10-member group, the Quinte Fibre Artists will also have their work on display as they share their work and techiques with the public. Every few years, they stage their own exhibition at the Belleville Library’s Parrott Gallery. Booths will also display some of the charitable causes the guild has worked with including the 4-H Club, Hospice, comfort quilts, and Quilts of Valour. The merchant mall at this year’s show will feature some 12 exhibiting partners. One the organizers are excited about is the Glenray Scissors booth out of Baltimore, which provides costeffective sharpening for scissors, knives, and other sharp materials. Another exhibitor promises to have a long-arm quilting machine, which can complete elaborate stitching in a fraction of the time it would take by hand. Merchants include the #1 Sewing Centre from Campbellford, Cotton Mill Threadworks from Dundas, Kallisti Quilts from Waterloo, Kawartha Quilting Systems from Millbrok, Log Cabin Yardage from Whitevale, Pine Ridge Knit and Sew from Trenton, Quilter’s Cupboard from Uxbridge, Stitch by Stitch from Kingston, the Taylor Sewing Centre from Brockville, Glenray, and of course, the local favourite, Picton Fabric World. The show is open 10-5 on Saturday and 10-4 Sunday. For information, call Goode at 613-393-2864 or Evans at 613-476-7785.

Come join us for a meal to celebrate Christmas in July

Apparently no one really knows how the Christmas in July tradition began. It’s thought that it might have originated in the Northern Hemisphere when the summer is in full swing and people are craving cooler temperatures. According to the web site www. theholidayspot.com “this untimely Christmas festival is also often ascribed to a group of Irish tourists who went for a vacation in Sydney's Blue Mountains in the summer months of July in 1980. Away from the summer temperatures in their country, they were overjoyed at the sight of snow there. It is believed that they convinced the proprietor of a local hotel in the Blue Mountains in New South Wales to hold a party called "Yulefest". The idea was an instant hit and caught on the imagination of everyone present there. The proprietor saw a golden opportunity in this and henceforth held a Christmas Party each year in July. The local businessmen too jumped in to cash in on this unique festival and it continues to this day. Today, the tradition is so well entrenched in Australia that most restaurants, clubs and dining halls, have an official advertised annual catered menu for Christmas in July.” Whatever the origins of this July celebration, Community Care has long provided seniors with a turkey dinner and all the trimmings at a Christmas in July event. This is a great opportunity for people to give one of our noon-time dinners a try. It’s where seniors in The County can enjoy great food prepared by Wheel House and Occasions Catering and meet old friends or make new ones. There’s always a Community Care staff member on site to answer any questions about programs and services available for seniors in the community. We hold these monthly dinners in Consecon, Wellington, Picton, Milford and other County locations from October to May. In the summer months we only hold dinners in the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 78 in Picton and seniors from throughout the county are encouraged to attend. Consider this my personal invitation to you to join Community Care on Wednesday, July 16 at noon for great food at Christmas in July. You will enjoy homemade soup, roast turkey and dressing, with mashed potatoes and gravy, cranberry sauce, baby carrots, along with rolls and butter. To top off this occasion dessert will be Christmas pudding! Coffee & tea is also included in the reasonable price of $10 per person. This event is by reservation only and we need to hear from you by Tuesday prior at noon. Call Com-

Gardeners concerned about evergreens browning or reddening

My article on the response of plants and trees to last winter’s ice storms and cold did not address the increase in browning or reddening (rusting) of foliage on evergreen trees. Recent questions have brought that issue to the fore. Evergreens are always vulnerable to a certain amount of browning during the winter that generally, but not always, improves during the spring and summer. Generally the concern is around the unsightliness, particularly when the browning seriously affects the symmetry of the tree. The two causes that are always prevalent are labeled ‘winter drying’ and ‘winter burn’ in a University of Nebraska online publication. Previous drought can increase the severity of both causes of damage. Winter drying is more damaging to evergreens than deciduous trees because they do not shed their foliage before the onset of winter. According to Nebraska University, winter drying is caused by the warm dry winds that blow in late winter. The still frozen soil prevents the tree from accessing moisture stored in the tree itself and in the surrounding soil. While the browning process starts then, the ac-

tual browning is not visible until spring. Minor damage causes browning of some foliage while major damage consists of the death of branch tips and can go so far as to kill whole branches and even trees. The side exposed to prevailing winds is the most damaged by this type of drying. Winter burn, again more damaging to evergreens than deciduous tree, is described as freeze damage that occurs on days with rapidly changing temperatures, rising during the day and falling sharply at night. Winter burn is more common on the south side of the tree where there is more

where no sun shines. Further the browning will be found largely above the snowline. Snowdrifts that lasted for most of the winter were common this year and many local trees and shrubs show evidence of browning above the snow level and browning on more than just the south side. While labeling and descriptions of causes can be helpful it is remediation and prevention that is most useful to the gardener. Fortunately the solutions to all of the problems are similar. In tackling the problem this year now is the best time to be pruning back the browned tips. The time elapsed since the problem was spotted has allowed time for rejuvenation of those parts of the tree that were still alive under the brown. In cases where pruning off the brown parts would leave the tree badly misshapen or with bald spots it is better to leave it there to see what further parts might rejuvenate or begin to be replaced later. On yews and junipers prune the branches as needed. With white cedars remove the ‘leaves’ and leave the branches in place. You can apply bone meal and compost around the base of the tree once or twice during the summer to

exposure to sun particularly in the winter. Trees usually recover in the spring as healthy growth covers the damaged parts of the tree. Severe cases can cause similar damage to winter drying. ‘Sunscald’ that is also called ‘sun burn’ can also be a cause of browning of evergreens. It has similarities with winter burn in terms of causes and effects but also some differences. It also, from my perspective, provides the best explanation for the browning of many evergreens that became evident this spring. Sunscald is described as occurring on all sides of a tree with the exception of the north side. Cedars are said to be the most susceptible, but most genuine cedars are found in County gardens rather than in the woods as we lost most of our white cedars to early settlers who needed the cedars for a number of uses including rail fences. The significant differences between the causes listed for winter burn and the causes listed for sunscald is the presence of snow and the reflections off the snow that results in the browning. Rather than the south side being the most affected, the only side unaffected is the north side

support the new growth. Water these trees unless there is an adequate rain fall (10mm) once a week. If you think in terms of this amount of rain, multiplied by the area covered by the branches of the tree, you are thinking in terms of buckets and not a quick spray of water for larger shrubs and trees. Watering these trees heavily in the late fall before the soil freezes is particularly important in protecting them from future damage, but keeping the tree watered adequately during the growing season is a necessary step as well. During a winter with significant snow, low shrubs can be gently covered with snow. Taller shrubs and trees can be protected by burlap either by wrapping or through construction of a burlap fence on the vulnerable side or sides. When planting new evergreens choose species that are hardy in the area. Plant trees in a spot that is protected from winter sun and wind. Where possible choose areas with deep, well drained soils. While evergreens can develop browning as a result of winter exposure, there are other causes of browning of evergreens that cannot be addressed

now but they are unlikely to have turned up this spring for the first time. Rather the browning is part of an ongoing process. Winter sunscald can also affect deciduous trees but in these cases it is the bark that is affected. It may darken and become sunken and can split leaving the tree open to insects and diseases. Apple trees and maples are among the vulnerable trees. The splits occur on the south and west sides of the trees. Loose bark along the ages can be removed with a sharp knife. The trunk can be wrapped in tree paper in the fall to protect the trunk. If the split is particularly large a tree arborist should be consulted. Unfortunately the damage from last winter continues to manifest itself in different ways. Fall preparations of gardens before winter commences will require new tasks this year.

Report offers three cost scenarios HALL, from page 1

While the 8.6 acres is more than is needed for the combined station, staff said last week it would allow for greater flexibility in design and could allow for lots to be severed in the future. A report presented to the committee last week provides three cost scenarios for the new station â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a low estimated cost of $3,583,000, a medium estimated cost of $4,136,000, and high cost of $4,479,000. 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 industrial park alternative would have lower land costs, lower site preparation costs, and lower construction costs than the traffic circle location. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These reduced capital costs have resulted in lower debt servicing costs. Other savings result because the operating costs for the new facility are expected to be less than the operating costs

On the positive side the land is already municipally owned, provides alternate access routes, and is away from residential areas. Cons cited in the report are the loss of employment lands, slower volunteer firefighter assembly time coming through Picton, and annual costs of operating 10 stations rather than nine. Additionally, the report weighs the pros and cons of retaining the Mallory Station, which would remain open under the new scenario. It says while keeping Mallory reduces the size â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from 12 bays to eight â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and cost of the new station, capital repairs and improvements for the building are forecasted at about $591,200 in 2017.

PECI graduates encouraged to bring positive mindset to future tasks 141 students given OSSDs Thursday as they prepare for future challenges AdAm BrAmBurger Staff writer

attitude that would serve the graduates well in their stead from high school. Pickard noted the students had each spent about 3,200 hours in classes and even he acknowledged much of the wisdom they learned they’d forget, if they hadn’t already forgotten it after the tests. He said some students may feel after those 3,200 hours that they’re ready to take on the world. He said others may see that as a scary concept, but it really need not be. Students have learned

about valuation, about responsibility, and grit. Pickard noted they need a growth mindset and explained the concept has been tested repeatedly. “The message can be summed up very simply,” he said. “What you think about yourself is really, really important.... You will do better if you think you can do better. You will do more if you think you can do more. “ The vice-principal told his subjects that making mistakes is good, if they

can learn from them, and that they should be willing to act on advice they’re given. Besides mindset, Pickard said his advice was to set goals for future adventures and not be afraid to try new things. He left them with a quote from author Mark Twain. “Twenty years from now you’ll be more upset by the things you didn’t do than the things you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” The graduates also heard from Prince Edward north trustee Jennifer Cobb, who advised them to look at their fellow graduates and the teachers, support staff, administrators, family and community members that gave them support. She said no matter where they go, they can always take the lessons those people offered and relate them to the live they are leading at any time. “Take Prince Edward County with you wherever

you go. Be county proud and be Panther proud.... Take a look at the people here supporting you. Know wherever you go, they are behind you.” PECI graduate Tina Jones brought congratulations from the Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board’s senior administration. She noted it is important for the grads to take some time to recognize what they’ve been able to accomplish. “It’s a time of transition and a time to pause and take stock,” she said. “Graduates, tonight is less about stepping out into the world and more about celebrating your place in the world, a wonderful school career, and an optimism for what is yet to come.” Brewster thanked the faculty and staff members that helped nudge the stu-

Last Thursday, some 141 PECI students crossed a milestone off their life lists as they walked across the stage as graduates from the local high school. A vast majority of the graduates appear to be headed for the world of work — at least initially — while some are bound for new learning adventures at post-secondary schools or in apprenticeships and another group will return to PECI to add a bit more knowledge before leaving. Thursday, however, as class valedictorian Kurtis Brewster told his fellow classmates, was a time to celebrate a bond that all 141 are a part of. “We share in common the fact that we entered as complete strangers and are leaving as a whole — we are leaving together,” Brewster said during his evening address in front of a packed Prince Edward Community Centre. At about the same time the graduates were taking their first classes at PECI, vice-principal Paul Pickard came to the school as an administrator. Thursday marked his last official function as he is bound to teach in Trinidad. Subbing in for principal Darren McFarlane to advise the graduating class, Pickard spoke about a mindset and

dents in the right direction to realize their goals. He said the night is mostly about the grads, however. He noted it’s about the hockey players who will eventually skate in men’s league, then meet their foes over Tim Hortons as they take their children to the rink for early morning skates. It’s about musicians who will have instruments he couldn’t name hanging in their houses and about the county folks who admittedly would rather be fishin’ or huntin’ than sitting through a three-hour ceremony in the heat. He said it’s also about the comedians who lived for the smile or cry from laughter, the lovely ladies who will take the extra time to get ready for school or work, and those who write computer codes that seem like another language, but in reality are the video games and web sites everyone will remember. Of course, it’s also about the klutzes hoping nobody would notice them tripping or falling into things — “We noticed,” Brewster said; it’s about those who couldn’t break through their shells early on, about those who hung out in the parking lot, and those who ultimately struggled at times to find their place.

As a whole, they’ve scripted a similar collective journey and now, Brewster said, it is their time to decide what happens next. “Tonight is about tomorrow, the day after, and the day after that. I'm going to leave the speech to be a tobe-continued saga. You can make up your own endings,” he said. “Any ending you come up with works great, because from this night forward. we will each write our own life story. “Some will be funny, exciting, challenging and unfortunately, sad at times too. But, we share in common the fact that we entered as complete strangers and are leaving as a whole, we are leaving together.” Some 29 students, including one returning 2013 graduate were recognized during the ceremony for achieving Ontario Scholar status, which means they achieved an average grade of 80 per cent or higher over six Grade 12 courses. Another 15 students informed the school they had been offered and accepted entrance scholarships to post-secondary institutions. Carleton University appears to be a popular destination among that group as it has six students preparing to attend on entrance scholarships. Arts, business, and technology certificates were handed out to students who successfully completed five courses in any of those disciplines. This year, 16 students earned arts certificates, nine students earned business certificates, and 29 students earned technology certificates. Another nine graduating Panthers received Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program certificates — five automotive technicians, two hairstylists, a brick and stone mason, and a general carpenter. More than 50 academic awards were handed out for students with the top marks in each of their Grade 12 subjects. Heather Beach, who also claimed the Governor General’s Award for Academic Proficiency this year, claimed six including the Essroc awards for physics and chemistry, the French award, the Hiles Carter award for biology, and the Mac’s bursaries for advanced functions and nutrition and health. Alex Larkin earned the Kingfisher business award and Mac’s bursaries for Canadian and world issues and English. Cynara Lewis captured three awards including the Mac’s bursaries for commuications technology and Indigenous peoples and

years to help them to take part in the school’s “premier event of the year.” He also commended the parents who invested time and resources into their children’s education, noting that in most cases those who put in that investment are rewarded with results. McFarlane said the Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board is one of the few that believes in wrapping up its year to have a spring graduation because it can serve as a fitting time to wrap things up with the whole class of students together in one place. “We honour you and your achievement of this milestone,” he said. “As a true community school, it is the collective effort of everyone in this room tonight who has been able to support you in getting to this moment in time.”

Wilhome Farms to celebrate 200th anniversary by hosting family fun night Holstein Club elects to return southeast of Bloomfield for celebratory meeting July 31 Jason Parks

Staff writer

It's a farming celebration two centuries in the making. The Prince Edward County Holstein Club announced the annual Farm Family Fun Night (formerly the twilight meeting) will be held at Wilhome Farms July 31. The event will not only allow members of the public to get an up close look at a working dairy farm but it will also serve to celebrate the 200year anniversary of the family farm which has remained in the Williams family for eight generations. Justin Williams is the host farmer and he said it's an honour for the Williams family to host the event.

“In Canada, it's pretty rare for a farm to reach 200 years old and have it stay within the same family so we are excited about this opportunity to roll out the red carpet and celebrate two centuries of farming, Williams said. Since Caleb Williams started farming lands southeast of Bloomfield in 1814, Wilhome Farms has gone under several transformations and variations in terms of size and scope. Currently a dairy operation with 50-plus milking head and 130 head of cattle supported by just under 500 acres of grain and feed lands, the farm once raised horses and a pork business was also part of the overall

enterprise. “The whole farm will be open,” Williams said. “People can tour through the milk house, the dairy barn, the heifer barn and the new

nursery and we will be there to answer questions about our operation and the dairy industry in Canada.” In addition to the farm tour, the local 4-H dairy

club will put on a calf show and host a loonie raffle with part of the proceeds from the raffle going towards their annual trip to the Royal Winter Fair in No-

vember. As always, the calf show will be preceded by a barbecue beef and pork meal catered by Taylor Meats of Roseneath with food service slated to start at 6:30 p.m. 2014 marks the first time since 1992 that Wilhome Farms has hosted the event and at that time, there were upwards 200 dairy operations in Prince Edward County. At last count, only 36 milking farms remain in operation. “It's a real great opportunity to reconnect with dairy industry in Prince Edward County and meet those farmers who are still carrying on this important aspect of agriculture,” Williams added. Tickets for the event will be available at the door.

U-12 Eagles sitting in first place with 4-1-0 record

The PRZ Paintball Under 12 PECSA Eagles continue to fly in the Southeast Ontario Soccer Association, holding down top spot in their division with a 4-1-0 record and a goal differential of plus-27.

The Eagles latest triumph came last week as they blasted the visiting Catarqui Clippers 13-1. Bailey Maracle (three), Joey Monroe (three), Devon Wilton (two), Cooper Rogers (two), TJ Nelson,

Colby O'Hara and Anthony Lawrence all found the range for the Eagles. The locals were in action last night after press time when they hosted Portland FC at the PECI field.

The Wellington Dukes continue to bolster their lineup for the 2014-2015 OJHL season. The club announced last week they had acquired the rights to veteran Whitby Fury forward Marco Azzano as well as a 16-year-old players card from the Georgetown Raiders. The Courtice, Ontario native has played the last two seasons with the Whitby Fury and had 24 points in 52 games last season. Last summer, the Dukes hit pay dirt in acquiring Steven Deeg, a forward that had been used primarily in a checking role throughout his OJHL career. Dukes coach and general manager Marty Abrams said he was quick to contact the Fury once Azzano's availability became known. “Marco brings experience and a high compete level to our lineup. We believe he has more to offer offensively and hope to duplicate what Steven Deeg did last year after a few years in a primarily defensive role. We are excited to bring him to Wellington,” Abrams said. The deal to bring add a third 1998 birth year player card to his existing collection of two indicates Abrams sees something in the upcoming crop of freshmen players.

The deal completes a previous move between the clubs last season. “The Raiders will have one of the top teams in the OJHL this season and have a great group of experienced players in their fold. We were able to pry this 1998 slot from them and we intend to dress all three 1998s this season. It should make for a great camp when the ‘98s know there are three spots up for grabs,” Abrams said. In other Dukes news, Former Wellington centreman Jake Marchment was drafted in the sixth round of the NHL entry draft by the Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings. Marchment played his first full season of junior hockey with the Dukes in 2012-2013, potting seven goals and 13 assists for the locals before graduating this past season to the OHL's Belleville Bulls. In Belleville this past season, Marchment continued his strong defensive play and was among the Eastern Conference’s best face-off men. In addition to his workman like effort around the faceoff dot and in his own zone, Marchment added 32 points in 57 games. Abrams offered a hearty congratulations to Marchment and said “Our entire organization is thrilled for him and the Marchment family.”

The Eagles next home game is Monday, July 7 when they host Quinte West at 6:30 p.m. -Jason Parks, Staff

Yacht club seeks participants for youth sailing school

The Prince Edward Yacht Club is calling for children and teenagers to get on board with the club's summer sailing camp. The camp runs in July and August and is open to ages 10–18. The camp has been in operation for the last 40 years and is an ideal training location with protection from wind and gentle waves. The camp will make use of the club's upgraded fleet

of 420 dinghies and all instructors are certified by the Canadian Yachting Association (CYA) and have safety and first aid training. The program presents an opportunity for students to build on what they learn throughout their life and potentially advance to owning their own sailboats, crewing in sailing races, or even instructing others. The Prince Edward Yacht Club has a racing program that

has been proud to support the project in various ways since its genesis and this jointly developed initiative will help support this culturally significant enterprise. Plus, it will honour a trailblazing pioneer in a manner

he would likely find fitting. “He had a very fine taste in wine and he was known to be particularly fond of chablis, burgundies and champagnes which is why we are labelling the finest sparkling wine we offer,”

Another member of the current Belleville council is poised to try his hand in federal politics. Mayor Neil Ellis has successfully earned the Liberal nomination for the new Bay of Quinte riding and if councillor Jodie Jenkins has his way, he’ll be running against him in the next election as the candidate for the Conservatives. Last Wednesday, Jenkins officially threw his hat into the ring via a press release to represent the area combining Belleville south of Hwy 401, Quinte West, and Prince

Edward County. “After much deliberation, I am excited to announce my intention to seek the nomination for the new Bay of Quinte riding,” Jenkins said in the release. Conservative MPs Daryl Kramp and Rick Norlock each had some of their current constituencies in the riding, though both have announced they’d be running in neighbouring ridings in 2015. Jenkins said the timing of his announcement was based on fairness to those who might be considering

running for positions within Belleville in the fall municipal elections. By declaring himself out of the running there, he hopes that people will come forward to serve. Jenkins said he had fond memories of his time in municipal politics, but hoped to be able to serve at a different level. “I sincerely thank all those who voted for me in the last municipal election and all of those people who shared their vision of Belleville with me over the past three-and-a-half years,’ he said. “It has been an honour to serve my community. This is not a stepping away from my

A known aficionado of refreshing libations, you can assume Canada's first prime minister would approve with an initiative to honour him and support a project that will see his likeness installed at Picton's Armoury. Huff Estates Winery announced this week the local winery is releasing a new sparkling wine celebrating Sir John A. Macdonald with a portion of the proceeds to benefit the Macdonald Project, a venture that will see a life-sized bronze sculpture of the former Picton lawyer, a prisoner's dock and chair entitled “Holding Court” placed in front of the historic Armoury building. The 2010 vintage will be adorned with a special Carl Wiens designed label which will feature a photo of the bronze bust already created on the front of the bottle and Macdonald's own words about his affinity for Picton when he was practicing law here in 1834. A sum of $5 from the sale of each bottle will support the complete creation of the Ruth Abernethy bronze sculpture that will be installed in Macdonald's beloved Picton July 1, 2015. Macdonald Project chair David Warrick was thrilled with Monday's announcement. “(Huff Estates owner) Lanny Huff and the staff including winemaker Frédéric Picard and manager Jason Sharpe have been extraordinary in their efforts.

Sharpe said.. The first two bottles will be presented to sculptor Abernethy and author Richard Gwyn, Macdonald biographer, during their visit to the historic Picton courthouse for the Lazier trial reenactment on July 11. The Superior Courthouse is the place where Macdonald "came of age” and began his professional career in law in 1834. The full sculpture will be unveiled at a gala on the occasion of Macdonald's 200th birthday, Jan. 10, 2015 at the Royal York hotel in front of 500 guests. Renowned stage actor R.H. Thomson will recite the eulogy offered by Sir Wilfred Laurier in the House of Commons just days after Macdonald's passing on June 6, 1891 “We still have to raise funds but what this represents is a well-known, well respected brand in Quinte supporting the project and it's fitting because, although Kingston tries to claim him, Sir John A. Macdonald has always looked at himself as a Quinte boy and it's wonderful one of the best wineries in Prince Edward County is on board,” Warrick added. For further information and to inquire about how to purchase Sir John A.

constituents, but hopefully continuing to serve them at a different level.” Jenkins, who is currently the vice-president of the Bay of Quinte Conservative riding association, said he feels a nomination meeting will be held this fall or next spring. He adds both Kramp and Norlock served the riding well in securing federal funding, which was useful in projects such as the Wellington and District Recreation Centre, the Picton Wastewater Treatment plant, expansion to CFB Trenton, and the Quinte Sports and Wellness Centre in Belleville. -Staff

PRAyER tO the Blessed Virgin (never known to fail). Oh most beautiful flower of Mount Carmel, fruitful vine, splendour of heaven. Blessed Mother of the Son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh, Star of the Sea, help me and show me, herein you are my mother. Oh Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth!. I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this necessity. There are none that can withstand your power. Show me herein you are my Mother. Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3X). Holy Mother, I place this cause in your hands (3X). Holy Spirit, You who solve all problems, light all the roads so that I may attain my goal. You who must give me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances in my life You are with me. I want in this short prayer to thank You for all things, as You confirm once again, that I never want to be separated from You in eternal glory. Thank You for Your mercy toward me and mine. The person must say this prayer 3 consecutive days. After 3 days the request will be granted; this prayer must be published after the favour is granted.

Wellington was the place to go this Canada Day if you were showing off your colours. At top left, Jemma Sharpe, Aubree Ypma and Mason Lloyd got their groove on at the Eddie & the Stingrays concert Monday night. At top right, Betty Cronk was a fitting choice for the annual Wellington Canada Day parade marshall while Dawson Beaudrie, middle left, and Canada Bob, middle right, were riding two wheeled machines. No matter your age, everyone looks good in red and white on Canada Day and Wellington had plenty of ways for people to show off their red and white with a street dance, fireworks, a parade, and a host of activities in the village.

Life changes equal lifestyle changes

Major life changes often become the catalyst for selling a home. Whether for employment, financial or family changes, selling a home and deciding on the next move can be an overwhelming experience. If you’re thinking about replacing one home for another, be sure to prepare for the process by doing as much up-front research as possible. If you are retiring – You may want to sell in order to access the equity in your home to travel. But what do you come back to? A Realtor who specializes in the seniors’ real estate market can show

you the many options available including downsizing to a smaller home or condominium, or moving to a retirement community. You’ve lost your job – Unfortunately, in such a situation, you may feel you have no choice but to sell your home. In this case, talk to your Realtor – he or she will help you set a realistic price to move the property as quickly as possible, and provide options for your next move. Separation or divorce – Sparks can fly when each spouse has a different agenda for how the sale of a home should be handled. Be sure to include a lawyer in your discussions – a lawyer can provide valuable information to help you

and your spouse reach an agreement. You’re looking to upgrade, or downgrade – During a strong sellers’ market a Realtor can show you how you could potentially gain financially by selling and moving up to a larger home. Or, if you are having financial difficulties, your mortgage lender, lawyer and Realtor will be able to provide options that fit your situation. For example, you may be able to decrease your monthly mortgage payments, increase your amortization period or sell your home and buy a smaller, more affordable one. Your family is growing – Growing families tend to set their sights on larger homes, or homes

in family friendly neighbourhoods. Empty nesters, on the other hand may be looking to trade in their single family home for a maintenance-free condominium. A Realtor can help you sell your current home and find a new one that fits your lifestyle. Whatever your reasons for deciding to sell your home, a Realtor can help you identify your objectives early in the process and help you make the right choices along the way. To learn more about sell-

ing your home, visit www.wedothehomework.ca. This article is provided by local REALTORS® and the Ontario Real Estate Association for the benefit of consumers in the real estate market.

H O R O S C O P E S

ARIES (Mar 21/Apr 20) Your impulsive nature is apparent this week, Aries. While this nature has often served you well, it's still a smart move to carefully consider all angles before making any big decisions. TAURUS (Apr 21/May 21) Taurus, the goal this week is to find a happy medium where you can help others but remain true to yourself. It may take a little juggling, but you can handle it. GEMINI (May 22/Jun 21) Gemini, although you are initially willing to go along with the group's plans, in the long run you want to set off in your own direction. A few stragglers may join you. CANCER (Jun 22/Jul 22) Cancer, professional obligations may prevent you from spending time with loved ones, but only if you let them. Let higher-ups know where your priorities lie. LEO (Jul 23/Aug 23) Leo, share your emotions with a friend, especially if the friendship does not seem to be going in the direction you had hoped. Keep the lines of communication open at all times. VIRGO (Aug 24/Sept 22) Virgo, you may think your intentions are obvious to others, but sometimes you send mixed signals. You may have to be more concise to achieve your desired results.

LIBRA (Sept 23/Oct 23) Take the high road, Libra. Leading by example has always been your forte, and taking the high road now is a great example to set for those around you. SCORPIO (Oct 24/Nov 22) It can be quite difficult to keep your cool when you are feeling emotional, Scorpio. Channel any nervous energy you have into a productive project this week. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23/Dec 21) Sagittarius, you are on a quest for a deep connection. You will not be content with mere friendship, but desire something that is more intimate and meaningful. CAPRICORN (Dec 22/Jan 20) You are in high demand this week, Capricorn. You have the ability to get things done when others struggle with similar tasks. Keep up the good work. AQUARIUS (Jan 21/Feb 18) Aquarius, you just may find yourself on shaky ground while juggling multiple responsibilities this week. Don't let the stress of this juggling act get the better of you. PISCES (Feb 19/Mar 20) Pisces, you find yourself face-to-face with your biggest fears this week. Draw on your inner strength and you will conquer any obstacle.

LAST WEEK’S ANSWER

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