Count a Prince Edward photographer among those honoured at the 5th annual CLIC (Capturing Life in Camera) Photography Show and Sale. Eastern Ontario's premier photography event formally got underway Friday evening at Books & Company with the handing out of hardware to recognize this year's best and brightest behind the lens. Former Prince Edward County journalist Mihal Zada's entry Brand New was recognized as the Doug Boult Memorial/Best in Show winner. Zada's effort is a striking image of a newborn being cradled on a love one's chest and uses tone and diffusion to capture the human warmth in the moment. The partially-obscured face of the adult adds an element of mystery to the award-winning presentation. A two stage juried process evaluated all the offerings from the 50 exhibitors (18 of which were Prince Edward County resi-

“It's a very good indication on how strong the field is this year,” he told the Gazette after the latest CLIC winners had been announced. While the Boult award has been handed out for the past five years, the CLIC committee joined in with the family and loved ones of

creative work at this show captured the attention and imagination and admiration of our judges.' Doug McMahon, MacArthur's partner, said Mac would have been very touched and honoured by having an award in named in his honour. Frankford's Britney Pasion took a snare drum, loaded it with blue power and carefully photographed as the musical instrument was struck, creating her piece called snare drum (and ruining her mother's bathroom in the process). Other top award winners included Picton's Daphne Creasy who wowed judges with her Gingko Tree Leaves, a close up of the foliage of the female Ginko Tree at Glennwood Cemetery. “I was totally shocked and stunned,” Creasy told the Gazette after her win in the Adult Visible World Colour category. “I have all these emotions are going through me. I'm just really happy.”

Purdy picnic a celebration with writer-in-residence in place at A-frame Roblin Lake cottage has become a destination for people to find inspiration and pay tribute to Canada’s unofficial poet laureate Jason Parks
Staff writer
It wasn't hard to cast a gaze across the tranquil waters of Roblin Lake Saturday afternoon and understand why Canada's unofficial poet laureate so loved penning his missives in such a locale. Despite the fact Al Purdy passed some 14 years ago, there's can be no question he was at the second annual picnic held in his name at his A-frame cottage halfway down Gibson Road this past weekend. His spirit was in the cool summer breeze and rays of sunshine that poked through trees and on the lips to those that admired and were inspired by the free verse poet whose career spanned five decades. In some sense, the second annual Al Purdy Picnic was a celebration. The association that bought the property in 2012 and sought to restore the Aframe to provide a haven for emerging writers has done just that. Saturday marked the first picnic in which a writer-in-residence would be present and offer some their literary works for lovers of all things Al. “This is really significant because we now have a writer-in-residence, the house has been restored and the dream has come true,” Picnic organizer Michelle Lintern-Mole said. “The proof of all the hard work and the money donated and raised is here in front of us today.” A slate of local and
nationally renowned poets and authors reciting their work as well as some known and obscure Purdy penned poetry. Several dozen fans sat on lawn chairs or blankets, absorbing the entire scene and It was not hard to sense the captivating nature of the man who canonized drinking beer at the Quinte Hotel “made up of half farts and half horse piss.” “He was a man who was a high school dropout at Trenton High School but He's a genius. He writes like Keats, he writes like Lawrence, he writes like Purdy. His versatility as a poet is phenomenal, he's a true canadian poet that writes about the land and its people and uses poetry to express so many modules,” She explained. The first poet to live at the A-Frame as part of the Association's writer-in-residence program is 31-yearold Katherine Leyton. The native Torontonian is a McGill grad and has worked as a journalist, bartender and library assistant all while keeping her dream of writing poetry alive. Leyton said she was thrilled to be selected as the first Writer-in-residence on Roblin Lake. “It's an incredible honour, I don't have a collection of poetry yet so it's big recognition for me,” Leyton said of the selection process. “A lot of the judges are poets of whom I am a big fan of so to be given this beautiful spot and the financial assistance and time to just work on my writing is incredibly

exciting.” Leyton moved into the
A-frame on July 1 and has been exploring it, the cot-
tage grounds and the closeknit neighbourhood of Gib-
son Road. In describing her short solitary existence in the home where Al Purdy did most of his poignant work, Leyton said she did not feel alone. “The a frame is awesome, it's super quirky and I feel like Al and Eurithe are still living there and have just gone into the store for a minute. I can feel the history here,” Leyton said. “The community has been great, neighbours have introduced themselves and willing to share their life story and want to know my life story.” Just prior to reading a selection of poems to the crowd including one entitled “The County,” Leyton looked about the backyard and remarked that one could “definitely feel why this area was so special to Al.”

Consecon full of pride for Saturday Fourth annual Community Day offers fun from dawn to dusk
Birthdays, Anniversaries, Graduations, Retirements,Weddings

StAff Writer
A full day of shop, rock, and roll awaits as Consecon celebrates its fourth annual Community Day this Saturday. The event — delivered through a partnership of the Ameliasburgh recreation committee and the Consecon and Area Ratepayers Association (CARA) — will feature a car boot sale, a street dance with music from Prince Edward County band Little Bluff, and the fourth annual Consecon soap box derby. Organizer Bill McMahon said the event is all about heightening the profile of Consecon and building community spirit. “It's just building up pride for Consecon,” he said. McMahon said he joined CARA about six years ago and, at that time, there wasn't much happening in Consecon in terms of community events. Since then the group, along with the recreation committee, has tried to build up a sense of community in the village. Community Day has been a boost in that department, he said. “Consecon is kind of on the map and I don't think it was before,” he said. McMahon said Community Day really is a daylong event with something for everyone. Things kick off Saturday at 8 a.m. with a car boot sale in the Emm's Restaurant parking lot along Loyalist Parkway. There will also be area-wide garage and yard sales taking place at the same time. Free wagon rides will take visitors around the village and youth can take advantage of a kids zone and check out an OPP car and a fire truck. The Masonic Lodge will be hosting a pancake breakfast, and a charity car

wash will see funds donated to Muscular Dystrophy Canada. The Consecon Library will be hosting its annual used book sale and kids crafts. One of the day's biggest events will be the soap box derby. In its first year the derby brought in about 20 kids, but last year saw over 40 entrants. “It's been a lot of word of mouth,” McMahon said of the event's success. McMahon said he and others have been working to attract lots of visitors, doing radio and other media interviews and even visiting other events to encourage people to check out Consecon. He said once they try it, there's a good chance they'll be back. “It's about having fun and once the kids have tried it once they come back and they tell other kids,” he said. Registration is free and will take place at the intersection of Main Street and County Rd. 29 beginning at noon. The derby kicks off at 1 p.m. on Mill Street hill. The derby is open to both girls and boys and competitors are grouped into three age categories — ages 5–6, 7–9, and 10–12. The racers will make
individual runs down the hill for best times with the fastest in each age group being declared the winner. Helmets are mandatory and all cars must have a braking mechanism. McMahon said the event attracts kids from Prince Edward County, Trenton, Belleville, Brighton, and beyond. “It's become kind of our main event,” said McMahon. Following the children's run, anyone ages 13 and up can take a run down the hill. St John Ambulance will be on hand. McMahon said it's always fun to see the older folks take a run down the hill, and it's a popular aspect of the derby. “They all think they can handle these little cars, but they're not always as good at it as they think they are,” he laughed. From 5–7:30 p.m. visitors are invited to a barbecue pig roast dinner at Consecon Legion for $12 followed at 8 p.m. by Little Bluff to close out the day with a street dance in front of the Legion and Masonic Hall. McMahon invited residents from all parts of the county to come and participate.

PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY
Looking back in the
Picton Gazette 90 years ago — 1924
n Druggist Ralph Pulver was killed in Detroit, Michigan, presumably shot by desperadoes. The former Picton man had learned his trade in the Allison drug store in Picton before setting up his own shops in Toronto and ultimately Detroit. Pulver’s remains were brought back to Rednersville, where his funeral was to be held. n Two Hastings County men were observed to be racing back to the bridge while driving truckloads full of Sunday school children from a picnic at Sandbanks Provincial Park. The men were charged $25 each, plus court costs. A police officer saw the incident and reminded the men how dangerous it was to be racing trucks such as theirs. n Some 400 men were to be in Picton for inspections as the Hastings and Prince Edward regiments were continuing a week of camping and exercises. It was expected that for a field day in Picton, it would cost in excess of $2,000 to feed all of the soldiers involved in the activities.
70 years ago — 1944
n Kenneth Johnson and his wife, residing near Outlet, had plenty to watch for in the news from Europe as they had five sons serving in the Canadian Forces. Arthur, Ivan, Carman, Floyd, and Murray were all overseas as part of the army at the same time. Three of the brothers were fighting with the Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment in Italy, while two were involved in the Normandy raids for D-Day earlier that year. n Shipping continued at a steady pace at the Picton harbour, where operators were convinced it would be a record year. The eastbound Beaverton was the latest ship to leave the docks, carrying a large shipment of canned goods out of town. n Residents of Prince Edward County would be welcomed to attend the Aug. 16 commissioning party and information session for the frigate HMCS Hallowell, which would be launched at the Vickers shipyards in Montreal.
60 years ago — 1954
n Crops in Prince Edward County were being affected by a pest called the armyworm. The striped green caterpillars were known to strip grains of their leaves and nip their stems, leaving few nutrients to reach the head. In one instance, the bugs destroyed an entire six acres of corn. The province’s department of etymology was said to be developing a poison bait to try to help farmers rectify the problem. n After three weeks with scattered and light rain, local farmers were describing several hours of precipitation as “milliondollar” rain as it helped restore crops that had been suffering during the dry spell.
20 years ago — 1994
n The Prince Edward Region Conservation Authority hosted the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters to share a workshop about the invasive purple loostrife, which was taking over area wetlands. It was suggested that several varieties of beetles could be imported from Europe to control spreading the weed. n Laurentian Bank assistant branch manager Doreen Poitras was planning on representing Picton in the Cycle For Kids tour around Lake Simcoe, which would raise money for Rwandan refugee children.

Backyard declines — do we worry?
Often I get phone calls about vanishing birds - not as many orioles as last year in my yard, or that my goldfinches have suddenly left my feeder. My barn swallows aren’t here this year. What am I doing wrong? Probably nothing. Birds tend to be very nomadic and fluctuations in local populations can occur from one year to the next for no particular reason. If declines, or conversely increases, are gradual, over a period of many years, then it becomes easier to assign a cause. You may have seen, as have I, the decline in those huge flocks of tree swallows that used to arrive in the morning in July and August, and cover the trees and utility wires, so great were their numbers. Numbers were particularly high in areas of cattail marshes, as it is here where congregating tree swallows like to roost at night, after the nesting season is over for the year. Then it’s off to the daytime perches at the first break of light. Or, at least, that’s the way it used to be, when I remember enormous clouds of tree swallows filling the eastern sky at twilight in the fall of the year as they’d gather in our weeping willows and on the hydro wires that passed by our house on the farm, just a kilometre from where we now live. It just doesn’t happen anymore, and with few exceptions, tree swallows simply quietly disappear from the scene in the fall, with little fanfare. Experts say the population
OUTDOOR RAMBLES TERRY SPRAGUE
has declined to almost half the population it was 25 years ago. Barn swallows, wood pewees, nighthawks and chimney swifts have also been in decline, interestingly, all insect eaters. Is it just a local thing, or is it more widespread, suggesting something more complex? For other species, change in their numbers can be related to habitat change. The vesper sparrows that once nested on our old farm in large numbers, have all disappeared. Many of the fields in which they once nested have been abandoned, and have succumbed to natural plant and tree succession. They simply have moved on to more hospitable abodes. In a field where killdeers and meadowlarks once cohabited, encroaching red cedars have welcomed another species, that hadn’t been on the farm checklist prior to the 1980s the clay-colored sparrow. It is a specialist, and seeks
out meadows that contain a few invading cedars, but not too many, for once the field becomes thick, it will move elsewhere where conditions are more favourable. Backyards can offer a similar scenario. When my wife and I moved to our lot in 1976, the two acres had only remnants of an oat field and a hay field. Not a single bush or tree existed. In fact, the first species to be recorded when we staked out our fence border was, strangely enough, a rare sedge wren, who wheezed out his determined song for several weeks in the tall grasses. The lot was, in fact, so barren, that even killdeers exhibited some reluctance to chance the wide open spaces. Today, killdeers have totally disappeared from our two acres, and in recent years we have had both catbirds and brown thrashers nest in our hedgerows and bushes, and warbling vireos nest in our silver maples. There was even a pair of cedar waxwings whose nest I never did track down. The habitat has changed, and we deliberately chose native bushes and trees that produced the seeds and berries that would attract what we wanted. Today, it is a treat to sit under our spreading maple tree and watch the variety of wildlife that we now have - birds, snakes, turtles, moths and butterflies things we never had before. We are now at a point where we are not sure what is attracting who, and are at a loss to explain the behaviour of some of our guests, like the wild
turkey that followed me around as I was using the weed trimmer one day a few years ago. There is no question that as our human population explodes by 80 million people every year, the world will continue to see declines of many wildlife species. Disappearing habitat, migration hazards - all are sounding the death knell for many. Creating wildlife habitat as we have done will not save the world, but it does allow us to enjoy what we have left for a bit longer, in our own backyards. This is something we need to work at ourselves in our own backyard as socalled legislation to protect declining species and Species at Risk has proven totally useless and no longer exists, if it ever did. Many species are not as common as they once were. That much we know. However, the temporary disappearance of backyard orioles, hummingbirds, swallows or goldfinches through the seasons is nothing to worry about, unless it continues to take place over many decades. It could be little more than some favourite bushes or trees being removed from the setting, a change in available food, or just the whims of the bird in question to roam.

Kramp supports new amnesty legislation for firearms owners
In a news release this week, Prince Edward-Hastings MP Daryl Kramp was pleased to declare an amnesty period for law-abiding owners of the CZ 858 and Swiss Army rifles. The federal government recently passed an amnesty order that will allow the owners of those rifles to keep the firearms on their property without red tape until 2016.
Kramp indicated he is pleased the government is planning to introduce the Common Sense Firearms Licencing Act, which would change firearms control by merging the Possession Only Licence with the Possession and Acquisition Licence, restrict the ability of Chief Firearms Officers to make arbitrary decisions, create a grace
period at the end of the fiveyear licence to avoid people being criminalized for paperwork errors, and streamline paperwork involved in the licencing process. While many of those points seem like an easing of the law surrounding firearm ownership, Kramp said the proposed law will also require mandatory firearms safety training
courses for first-time gun owners and strengthen prohibitions for those who are convicted of domestic violence to the point where they can be banned from ownership. Kramp indicated he believes there is room for common-sense policies that still keep communities safe. -Staff

seen as a negative factor. There’s also no doubt that some of the municipalities competing with Prince Edward County have touted their proximity to North America’s busiest roadway as a major asset. Over the past year, however, some people in those communities, particularly those in eastern Ontario, might ask if being so close to the highway is a curse, rather than a blessing. The number of dangerous collisions on Hwy 401 appears to have risen dramatically over the past year with many of those collisions involving highway transports. Fatalities appear to be all too common — which, of course, is the worst part of this trend — but the accidents also seem to be taking their toll on municipal policing, firefighters, ambulance, and hospitals called to respond. Many of the accidents have also had a snarling effect on business and commuter traffic as transports and commuters have been forced off the highway onto roads that simply aren’t meant to handle the volume, creating considerable gridlock and having a negative impact on accessibility to businesses and to people trying to commute locally to their own workplaces. This winter, commentators in the media loudly questioned whether the brutal weather was responsible for more crashes or perhaps whether there had been differences in the way the roads had been cleared leaving drivers with less traction on the highway. As the weather has improved, however, the volume of severe accidents does not seem to have decreased and in just the past few weeks, the Napanee area alone has had a pair of transport collisions involving deaths. One can speculate a number of different reasons for the amount of crashes that have taken place on Hwy 401. It could be the level of experience of the drivers’ involved, it could be laws that limit the speed that transport drivers can travel, or it could simply be that drivers these days are more fatigued than they were in the past as Canadians continue to lead busier lifestyles. It is unlikely a single cause could be pinpointed, though it appears with the amount of carnage that has occurred any study into the growing trend would be greatly welcomed by all. Perhaps it is time for Ontario to pull together a group of academics to see what is happening on its highway and to suggest ways of mitigating the risk factors and keeping more drivers safe. Maybe their suggestions would include some radical advice, like having lanes just for transports, like requiring drivers to prove they have a certain skill level to travel on some roads, or even creating vehicles with such advanced driver-recognition features that they the engine will not start if the driver has been behind the wheel for too many hours. Perhaps, the solutions would be more simple, like posting higher speed limits, taking the governors off trucks, or physically changing areas in the highway that have proven to be difficult to drive upon due for one reason or another based on past accident reports. The trick is for someone to realize these crashes are still too frequent and for them to take action to study why that is and how it may be fixed in the future.

Libraries to host many fun events in August
The library has a new series of activities for families this month as well as free movies for both young and old. For children, starting Aug. 1 and running on different dates and at various branches of the library, we have Strike Up the Band! This is a chance to make some noise with a story and songs, and to build a musical craft to take home. Strike Up the Band is being held at all branches of the library on different days at either 11 a.m. or 4p.m. in the first two weeks of August. Check the library’s online calendar for exact dates and locations. Also, Aug. 1, at 3 p.m. at the Milford branch library, join Brianna Logan, the senior museum assistant from the Mariners’ Park Museum, for a fun and informative program about shipwrecks. On Saturday, Aug. 2, Mr. B. & Miss Lee's Think-AMa-Jink Inventorium takes over the Picton branch library from 11 a.m. to noon. The program happens at the Wellington branch the next Saturday, on Aug. 9 at the same time. Join Mr. B. and Miss Lee and bring your crazy and creative ideas to life. Supplies and some tools will be provided, but the inspiration must come straight from your own brain. “Be prepared to shout Eureka!” says Miss Lee. Registration is required for this program. E-mail Whitney at wlee@peclibrary.org or call 613-476-5962. On Aug. 5, Rube Goldberg Machine Madness happens at the Consecon branch library at 11 a.m. and at the Ameliasburgh branch at 4 p.m. Come learn all about Rube Goldberg machines, try some tricky tongue twisters, listen to a story and make a ball run. Other programs in August include Kids Cook Junior and Kids Cook for school-aged children, as well as Grocery games. Highlights of the month include a visit from Mad Science Ottawa, and the TD Summer Reading end-ofsummer celebration with children’s author Holly Sedwick. Mad Science Ottawa will be at both the Picton and Wellington branch libraries on Friday, August 8. The pre-school aged workshop titled Slime Time happens at 11 a.m. at the Picton branch library, and the school-aged workshop titled Lab Works is at the

Come hear their ‘good news’ stories and about projects around the world. The showing is on Tuesday, August 5 at 6 p.m. For a full list of all events at the six branches of the library, visit online at www.peclibrary.org

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
County Rd. 8 project an unnecessary cost
Once again, our local council has left me wondering how they arrive at decisions. This most recent example involves a large sum of tax dollars. If we are to believe what our councillors tell us, money is tight and hard to come by – so one would hope that they would take good care of the public purse. They have been telling the public for a long time that the poor condition of our roads is a major issue – one so costly to us, we can’t keep up to the yearly demand for repairs. They blame the lack of funding by our provincial government as the main reason for our failing infrastructure and in many ways this is quite correct. However, it doesn’t explain our council’s most recent decision to reconstruct a five-kilometer portion of County Rd. 8, between
County Rds. 17 and 25 – at a cost of $1.6 million! We need to remember that an additional $1 million was added to our taxes at the very end of the budget process this year – without any discussion or idea why. It was an amount proposed by councillor Brian Marisett, and soon after, council decided, with the support of councillor Robert Quaiff, to spend it all in his ward on County Rd. 8. I question the need and the wisdom of this decision, particularly when it inflated our tax increase to 5 per cent. Go ahead and drive that portion of the road – sure it has its bumps and cracks, and a few pot holes, but there are roads in our community in far more need. I’m not complaining about a road being done that isn’t in my neighbourhood – that’s not my point. My point is, how
does a road that wasn’t slated for reconstruction suddenly get pushed to the front of the queue – regardless of cost? Despite council’s claims, this road was not scheduled to be done this year, nor was it on their immediate “to do” list. So what gives? If council had truly investigated ways of prolonging the life of this road by properly patching holes and applying tar caulking to the many cracks (like other communities do), they could have saved more than a million dollars, prolonged the life of County Rd. 8 for another five years and repaired many other roads this year. If the problems of road repairs and the lack of cash flow are as real as council claims them to be, then why don’t their actions reflect
this? Sometimes buying time in the hope that upper level government policies change or by demanding more from wind and solar developers, might just save the taxpayers of the county a ton of money. Has anyone on council taken the time to consider the idea that a different approach to our money problems might be in order and that maybe we can’t do things like we always have? It appears to me that this decision to repair County Rd. 8 has less to do with the poor condition of the road and more to do with the poor state of our council and the growing desire of many to get elected this fall — maybe even for mayor! Obviously none are making decisions with the taxpayers in mind. Dennis Fox Northport
Neighbour concerned with noise levels at church
It’s before 8 on a Sunday morning , a quiet time for most. The industrial-sounding thumping and banging across the street starts up again. Sometimes the noise has gone on after 1 in the morning. Neighbours subjected to this aural assault include members of an old county family who suffer from various health problems and go to bed early, a B&B, and an academic who works from home. Despite concerns and complaints conveyed both to those who make the noise and the management, little has been done. Most requests for consideration are met with a smug variant on “We know we’re doing the right thing.” If the guilty party was a factory or night club, you can bet council would have been all over
this one, revising the current, rather liberal bylaw that allows certain institutions to crank it up except between 2 and 7 a.m. The problem is that the miscreant is Bloomfield’s Baptist church, and few want to criticize proponents of the mainstream faith here. The church seems to be moderating its observance of the Bible’s key messages: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself” and “In everything, do to others what you would have them do to you.” To put this issue in context — when we moved here over a decade ago, the church was unobtrusive, emitting only the traditional, pleasant sounds of children playing outside and hymns being sung. Since then. It has grown, dou-
bling its building (which caused a year of noisy and dusty construction), and adding a new PA system and in-house rock band. The musicians practice at odd hours, playing more loudly than during services. Neighbours have so far observed the Biblical injunction to “be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger.” The church has been approached politely via phone, letter and in person. Responses have ranged from sympathetic to dismissive, but the results have been negligible. Sometimes the volume goes down for a few days, but it always creeps up again. Of course, the Bible encourages believers to make a joyful noise unto the Lord, but nowhere does it specify
that amplifiers and a rock band have to be the vehicles. For the record, I am not against good rock music, having heard Jimi Hendrix and the Rolling Stones live. I am, however, for choice about when to hear it. The church could undertake several palliative measures, including installing more sound insulation, moving the bandstand to another part of the church, or simply agreeing to keep the volume at reasonable levels. Can it not aim for a better balance between marketing to a youthful demographic and compassion for its others? Isn’t it possible to celebrate one’s faith without acoustically bullying neighbours?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Sometimes struggles are what we need
This past week, a report appeared in various newpapers regarding a child in a public park in Saskatchewan. The child had been climbing a tree, fell and broke a leg. Some provincial bureaucrat, in their infinite wisdom, has ordered the tree be cut down. A satirical editorial was published in the National Post July 25. Numerous TV, radio and other news- papers, have also reported on this. Below is an old parable, offering a lesson to those who would keep us all in government bubble-wrap... A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared, he sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to
force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no farther. Then the man decided to help the butterfly, so he took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings. The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time. Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling
around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It never was able to fly. What the man in his kindness and haste did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were God’s way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon. Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If God allowed us to go through our life without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been. And we could never fly. Richard Murray Picton
A fond farewell to the county after 15 years
We moved to the county over fifteen years ago and lived in Milford, South Bay and now in Picton. During this time we were met by kind and generous neighbours who made living here a place of wonder and joy. Sadly, we are leaving in a few short months for parts beyond. The county during our stay, for us, has come to life. To name just a few - Vi at French Country, the Bake family businesses, the owners of The Zest, David at Books and Co , our public library at Picton, Christine
at Country Sunshine, Michele at John's Barber Shop, the kind and helpful people at TD Bank, the many folks who play bridge on Wednesday and all those kinds people who remain unknown to me but thank me for my letters to this Newspaper. All these and many more have been the life-blood of our short stay here: may they grow, prosper and remain vibrant. A special thank you to the editor of the Picton Gazette who has consistently published some inflam-
matory comments made by me on the events of the day. We are living in a tumultuous time with opportunities knocking at our door to change the way we live . With the approaching elections — locally and federally — my wish and hope are that a shift takes place to help the people in need in Prince Edward County and beyond and whose life deserves a new dawn of happy beginnings.

Some high school students probably wish they could have seen the Festival Players Young Company’s latest offering last month. All For Beaver Hats!, a 1981 work, written by David S. Craig with Jerome Ackhurst and Richard Greenblatt is reputed to cover more than 300 years of Canadian history in 45 minutes in a light and comical fashion. It likely wouldn’t have been a bad study break for those looking to cram for final exams. The show, which opens tomorrow at Fifth Town Artisan Cheese in Cressy at 11 a.m. It continues with the mandates the company set out last year for the Young Company project, namely educating families about Canadian history and theatre. The show runs from the days when Samuel de Champlain voyaged through the county to the fall of the French at Quebec and touches on the attitudes of the English, French, and Natives. For those who attended last year’s production of

PHOTOS, from page 1
Primarily a photographer of nature and wildlife, Creasy said the art form is something that she's loved to do her whole life. “I've done more of it in the past few years because I've had time to do it,� she added. A member of the Prince Edward County Photography Club and Phil Norton's County Outings and Workshops group, Creasy said the mentorship of those groups helped her reach those heights Friday evening. While it was Creasy's first trip to the top of the podium, Allan Short won his second category title in the Adult Altered Reality class with his effort “Grounded.� The category is new to CLIC and is for entries altered via photo enhancement software. Short took a photo of an Mk IV Spitfire at the RCAF Museum in Trenton on a particularly cloudy and dreary day last summer. Using computer software, Short eliminated other planes in the background as well as hangers and walkways then 'dropped' the sky as a background. “Nothing has been added to the photo,� Short explained. “Some things have been eliminated but nothing has been added. What you see is what was part of the original photo.� What has been created looks straight out of a scene in England in the early 1940s. When asked about his reaction to his win, Short was his namesake. “Yeah!� Tops in the Adult Visible World Mono was Ottawabased Photographer Roy Whiddon who primarily photographs the nude figure.

Finally, the student category was won by Kingston’s Erik Koning who masterfully captured the wild beauty of the Cedar Sands Trail at Sandbanks Provincial Park. With several local photographers earning podium finishes and honourable mentions, 2014 CLIC committee chair Sam Serrano was pleased to see some familiar faces making inroads at the exhibition. “The work speaks for itself and it's a credit some of the mentors we have here. It's a very photographic place we live in and that relates itself to the art of photography,� Serrano said. In terms of the operation of the show, Serrano thanked the jurors and the committee. “I'm thrilled the production of the show,� he added. “It's probably the best show we've had in terms of quali-

Anthony and Lesli Brooks of Alota tile in Prince Edward County have opened a new retail outlet at 2188 County Road 1, Unit 3, at the intersection of Highway 62 in Prince Edward County to better serve their customers.

Alota tile now has the installation team in place to service not only their existing customers, but also those new clients generated through their new retail location.

the pizza category and it won first place. And we shared that pizza and wine match on a national Internet podcast. This summer season is again in full swing at the winery and when I stopped by Saturday it was a full house. Hardie’s team is offering some fantastic new pies to be paired with a glass of their latest wine releases on the patio. Their wood-fired oven is once again this year directed by pizzaiolo David Mattachioni and is firing every Thursday through Monday 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Everything is made from scratch and all toppings are either grown on the property or locally sourced. When I visited this weekend Mattachioni was

The second winery I visited on Saturday was Hillier Creek Estates who also have an outdoor pizza oven and again I found a crowded patio! There were pizza's everywhere and talking to the staff I found that the wine of choice here was the Chardonnay with pizza. Heather Harris has been the pizza chef there for three years and she explained that the toppings and dough are all prepared at the winery and she uses fresh ingredients such as basil that is grown right there. An interesting fact that Harris explained to me was that the pizza oven was built from stones actually removed from the vineyard. I also found out that the most popular pizza is named the "Woody" after Estate Manager Woody Cassell who picked all his favourite top-

My third stop of the day was Terracello Winery and for the third time in a row I found a packed patio ... this time with Italian music in the background. The winemake and owner, Tony Auciello, is also the pizza maker here. Auciello’s brother-in-law, Mike Ferraro (who owns one of Toronto's best pizza restaurants) travelled to the county quite a bit to train him

You will also find wineries that offer cheese pairings, picnic lunches and lots more! For me, it's all about the wine and I love telling the stories behind the wineries and the winemakers but for me personally there is that special pairing, a "match ,ade in heaven". After all, it was the big guy upstairs that turned water into wine and served it with bread. Pizza is just a better bread with all the food groups included and county wine is that little secret that the rest of the world is just starting to find out about! Next time you're out "sippin in the county" plan on having a bite as well. There are lots of choices out there but you will only discover them if you go for a drive! As usual, I try to keep an up to date list of winery events on my web site.

in this new aspect of his business. Auciello uses both Italian and local ingredients with his Nonna's recipes to create authentic Italian pizzas. TerraCello's rustic, Italian style patio offers a tranquil area nestled in their vineyard and families can sit, relax and enjoy a glass of wine under the pergola, reminiscent of a Tuscan countryside. As a matter of fact I was talking to an Air Canada pilot there this week who had just returned from a trip to Tuscany with his wife and he couldn't believe that he found a little piece of Italy just a couple hours from his home in Toronto. Auciello says that his traditional Neapolitan pizza (tomato sauce, buffalo mozzarella, basil, Tuscan olive oil) is a crowd favourite and the wine of choice to match is Boca nera (although at the time of this writing was sold out so enjoyed some of his awesome Riesling ... which paired just great!) I know I just talked about pizza and wine this week but there are many other patios throughout wine country as you visit the local wineries. OPEN 11AM-5PM SEVEN DAYS A WEEK 613-373-1133

People who know me know that I love wine (that's why I initially moved to the county) but those that really know me know that I also love pizza! And that was my quest this past weekend as I travelled the county ... to check out those amazing outdoor pizza ovens located at several wineries here in the county. The first stop was Norm Hardie Winery. I am certainly no stranger there as I brought a group of Opimian wine members there a few years ago when Hardie first started offering pizza's and it was their first trial by fire and no one was disappointed. Last year I entered Hardie’s Pinot noir in a national wine competition in

Friends For Life Bike Rally rolls through for 16th year Six-day trek helps HIV/AIDS survivors
The roadway from Toronto to Montreal once again passed through Prince Edward County on Monday for the annual Friends For Life Bike Rally. Though the more than 300 cyclists on the circuit got off to a slow and rainy start in Port Hope where they were camping that morning, they braved the wind and rain of the longest day of the six-day trek to roll through downtown Picton at about dinner time on their way to rest for the night in Adolphustown. Crew member LouisPhilippe Deslauriers said it would likely be the longest day of this year’s rally, though the cyclists were motivated to ride through the cold for an important cause. The bicycle rally has been taking place for 16 years as a fundraiser for the Toronto People With AIDS Foundation and, to date, it has raised more than $11 million for people fighting the deadly disease.
The Toronto People With AIDS Foundation provides that direct support through services such as food programs, treatment, and financial assistance. While each of the riders had their own reason for riding — some are battling the disease, some are riding for others they know whom they’ve lost or who are still fighting, and some just took
to the roads for fellowship and exercise — they were greeted warmly by people throughout the route, including members of the Picton United Church congregation who lined the corner of Talbot Street, waving flags and umbrellas and shouting out encouragement as the riders continued onward. The weather broke Tuesday as the riders continued

It’s still not too late to submit tax information to qualify for income supplement
According to the Service Canada web site, the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) provides a monthly non-taxable benefit to Old Age Security (OAS) recipients who have a low income and are living in Canada. You qualify for the Guaranteed Income Supplement if you meet all of the following conditions: you are a legal resident of Canada; you are receiving an Old Age Security pension; your annual income (or in the case of a couple, your combined income) is lower than the maximum annual income. You can check the maximum annual income levels at the Service Canada web site www. servicecanada.gc.ca Using your income information from your federal income tax and benefit return, Service Canada reviews your eligibility for the GIS every year. If you still qualify, your benefit will be automatically renewed. In July, you will receive a letter telling you either: that your benefit will be renewed; that your benefit will be stopped, or that your income information is required. You’ll get a letter saying your income information is required if you didn’t do your income tax return for the previous calendar year. In this case, if you didn’t do your tax return for 2013.

Belleville woman suffers non-life threatening injuries in ATV collision Tuesday night
A 23-year-old Belleville woman was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries following an ATV collision on Young Road in Athol Tuesday. Police report the ATV operator was travelling north when she lost control, left the roadway, and struck a tree. She was not wearing a helmet. The OPP indicated alcohol was not a factor in the collision, which the police responded to at about 9:12 p.m.
The investigation into the collision is continuing.
VIOLENT PARTY
Just after 4 a.m. Saturday, police received a complaint from a woman who reported that she had been assaulted. A police investigation revealed the woman had attended a house party on Lake street in Picton earlier that morning and had been assaulted by a man and a
woman. No weapons were involved in the assaults and, ultimately, the woman had been treated at hospital for minor injuries. The next night, the OPP arrested a 24-year-old Picton woman, whom they charged with assault and breach of probation, and a 20-year-old Picton man, whom they charged with assault. Both accused parties were later released from police custody on a promise to appear in Picton court Aug. 20.

age facility in Picton shortly before 11 p.m. Friday. Upon investigation, the responding officers noted that a number of units had been entered and a large sum of money had been removed from one. Police believe the incident occurred sometime within the past two weeks. Anyone with information is asked to contact the OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or Quinte Crime stoppers at 1-800222-8477.
IMPAIRED
Just after 3 a.m. Thursday, the OPP was called to a County Rd. 10 residence near Milford after the
home’s occupants reported a suspicious vehicle parked on the front lawn of a residence. Police arrived on the scene, then spoke to the driver who appeared to have been consuming alcohol that night. A 53-year-old Milford man was charged with impaired driving and driving with over 80 mg blood/alcohol content, both offences under Section 253 of the Criminal Code of Canada. The accused was taken into police custody and later released on a promise to appear in Picton court Aug. 13 to face the two charges.

‘MOVE-OVER’ LAW CHARGES ON RISE
This upcoming long weekend, the OPP will make a special effort to enforce Ontario’s “move-over” law. The law suggests that drivers slow down and proceed with caution if they are passing an emergency vehicle at the side of the road with its lights activated. If the highway has more than one lane and if it can be done safely, drivers are asked to move over and leave a lane free between themselves and the parked emergency vehicle. Should a police officer feel a driver did not take the necessary precautions, the fine can range from $400 to $2,000 plus three demerit points. There have been more than 11,000 charges under the law since it came on the books, though the OPP says it’s particularly concerned with an upward spike since 2010. There were 1,067 charges in 2010 alone and 1,502 charges over the past year. Since 1989 five OPP officers have been killed while being struck by a motor vehicle in the line of duty. Many others were injured and other law enforcement agencies report similar news about the cause roadside collisions. Also this weekend, the OPP is asking motorists to ensure they buckle their seatbelts, refrain from using hand-held communications devices, and follow all rules of the road.

Studio tour artists team up with writers from across Atlantic Ocean for collaboration For example, Wellington painted Stewart Jones did an oil work “Definitely Not The Suburbs,” featuring an urban streetscape in what looks like late afternoon light. Sharpe received his name and penned a poem about a man venturing into that world, in desperate need of finding a job to sustain his family...
English, Irish writers base short literary works on county art AdAm BrAmBurger Staff writer
The Prince Edward County Studio Tour is broadening its horizons this year. That said, visitors won’t have more sites to see, nor will the standard be impacted. That’s because the artists already on the local studio tour are pushing the envelope by teaming up with a group of writers in the United Kingdom and Ireland for a value-added endeavour. The result of the collaboration is an international project that pairs 26 works from county artists with short stories, poems, or other written word creations by the writers across the Atlantic Ocean to produce an exhibition (26 Atlantic Crossings) which will be on display on both sides of the pond in the near future. Studio Tour executive Wendy Matthews explained that the artists on the tour reached out to the literary group 26 with the intention of bringing their crafts together, even across a great distance, to explore what links their two cultures and what separates them. “We brainstormed boundaries, borders, frontiers, freedom, pushing, crossings and crossings out. We asked ourselves, ‘What is between us that unites us?’ We hummed and hawed,” she recalled. “Then we asked, ‘What is between us that separates us?’ The answer came immediately: the Atlantic, an ocean which generations of people have crossed to search for inspiration and opportunity, to find places, people and things, new and old.” The idea was to provide the writers an image created by a visual artist here in the county, then allow them to create a sestude — that’s a piece of creative writing totaling exactly 62 words about what they saw and shared in the art. Why 62? Matthews said that number was created by John Simmons, a co-founder of 26. He indicated it’s a reflection of 26, a name chosen to represent the

number of letters in the alphabet, which is the writer’s palette. Simmons wrote his own sestude to a J. Douglas Thompson painting called Highland Descent while on a plane to Chicago, just north of the Great Lakes, an area he felt was above Prince Edward County. With a small print out of the piece and some words from Thompson about struggling against depression and getting hope from his paintings, he was able to find the words he needed to use. The creative process for each artist and each writer was, undoubtedly, unique, though each pairing came from a similar beginning. Matthews and fellow artist Joanna McFarland went online via Skype and met with Faye Sharpe, one of the writers from 26. In each location, there was a bowl with participating mem-

A selection of shrubs that will grow successfully within parts of a shady garden
There are any numbers of shrubs that can be grown successfully in a shady garden, ranging from deep shade to a mix of sun and shade but where the shade predominates. There are both flowering shrubs as well as evergreens. Some may do a little better or grow a little faster with some additional sunlight even if filtered through the leaves of overhanging trees. Other aspects of a shady garden must also be taken into consideration. Trees’ root systems may take up so much space, as well as water and other nutrients,
that they may provide less habitation for shrubs and would be better surrounded by hostas, ferns and other shade loving perennials. The shrubs mentioned here good at least to zone five. Japanese Pieris (Pieris japonica) is a flowering shrub that can grow in full shade. While some pieris grow to three meters, I prefer a smaller hybrid such as ‘Karenoma’ that is about half the height when fully grown. It produces scented white flowers in the early spring. The new foliage is also a colourful bronzy red.
Another spring bloomer is Japanese Keirra, also called Japanese rose (Keirra japonica). Like the Pieris, it also grows in full shade. It has bright yellow double flowers growing along the branches in the spring. The leaves are bright green with attractive bright green to yellowish green stems in the winter. Both of these plants grow slowly, at least in the first year or so as they are getting established. Both should be deadheaded after flowering but the Keirra requires more ongoing maintenance because of its suckering habit

as well as its eventual height of about two meters. Shrubby St John’s wort (Hyperium kalmianum) is a native in North America. It has bright yellow flowers from early to mid-summer. The shrub is relatively disease free and can cope with a variety of soils. It can grow as tall as a meter, but generally does not grow beyond one third of that height. The evergreen shrub that is the most available in nurseries of those that tolerate dense shade is Densiformis yew (Taxus X Media ‘Densiformis’). This shrub will grow to not quite a meter in height and up to a meter and a half in width. It grows low to the ground so it does not require any plantings in front. It takes well to being pruned at any time which in not surprising given its fine textured foliage. The new foliage comes in as a bright green that shows up well against the dark green of the older foliage. If your local nursery

does not carry it they will likely be able to order it for you. It does well in average to moist soil but will not survive in consistently wet soil. It will also thrive in full sun. Two other evergreen shrubs which can be grown in this area are both more difficult to locate and more finicky in getting established: n Emerald Spreader Japanese Yew (Texus cupidata ‘mono’) has small dense dark green needles and a low mounding growth pattern. While it does well in dense shade, it does not like to compete with other roots so it should only be planted under trees with a deep root system. It is similar to the ‘Densiformis’ yew but will eventually cover almost twice the area. n ‘Joe Kozey’ Japanese Umbrella Pine (Sciadopitys verticullata) has a pyramidal growth pattern that makes it a good focal point in the garden. When grown in the shade the needles turn an intense yellow. It does best in well-drained soil and partial shade. It grows slowly and will eventually reach almost two meters in height and a meter in width as the bottom.
I have tried to avoid those shade-loving shrubs that do best with a more acidic soil. However, if you are in one of the places that do have acidic soil in the County or just cannot resist these plants despite the labour involved, there are some good options. There are of course the rhododendrons and azaleas and their striking flowers are familiar. Mountain Laurel (Kalmia latifolia), a North American native shrub, is less well known. They also have quite spectacular flowers particularly on some of the cultivars. So if you have a largely shady or partially shady garden perhaps one or more of these shrubs might be suitable additions to your garden. Generally the common name will help locate the correct plant but the botanically assigned name can help insure this. If you have a gardening question, send it to askamastergardener@xplornet.c om.

Pirates look for future stars at summer prospects camp Coaches find overall level of play encouraging at two-day event Chad Ibbotson
Staff writer
The Picton Pirates held their summer prospects camp over the weekend with about 40 players taking part. The players filed into the Quinte Sports and Wellness Centre on Saturday and Sunday, with a mix of veterans looking to get some skates in and young hopefuls vying to make this year's team. Picton coach and general manager Ryan Woodward said both the turnout and the compete level at the camp were encouraging. “I was really happy with the pace and intensity on both days,” said Woodward. “We had a nice group of veteran players supplemented with some players from Junior A and some really high end, hard-working young players.” He said approximately 10-15 additional players who couldn't take part in this camp will take part will take part in the club's main camp later this fall. Woodward said the camp was a success and the talent level was very evident. However, he said it's tough to say at this point in the summer how many spots the Pirates will be looking to fill. “We've got a lot of internal competition going on, we've got quite a few

returning,” said Woodward. “However we need to continue to get younger
and we've got to look for players who can step in and give us a push within our
lineup. It may make for some difficult decisions moving forward.”
A pair of local players — James Pero and Tye Eaton — had a good showing at
the camp, Woodward said. Pero is a 16-year-old defenceman who played last year with the Quinte Red Devils Minor Midget AAA team and Eaton, also a defenceman, played six games last season for the Pirates as an affiliate player. “Both players show all sorts of promise,” said Woodward. “They're working hard and are motivated, and we're hopeful they have really strong main camps.” The camp also featured a pair of young Wellington Dukes prospects in Shaw Boomhower and Austin Labelle who Woodward said have worked hard to try to crack the Dukes roster this season. “We're just here to try to support them. They were just out to get extra ice — they've put in a lot of hard work this summer and that's just part of it,” said Woodward. “We wish them all the best and look forward to seeing them have big years.” One thing is for sure, the Pirates will head into this season without four of their most dynamic players over the last four seasons — Brandon Peever, Ryan Sizer, Jack Davison, and Evan Greer. In the past four seasons the Pirates have taken home three Empire B Jr. C championships and a provincial Schmalz Cup title. They finished the last regular season with a 36-21-1 record and 74 points in 40 games.

After another memorable Empire league season, the Picton Pirates took on the unenviable task of handing out individual awards this weekend. The Pirates collected their third Empire league title in four years last season, before falling in seven games in the Schmalz Cup quarterfinals to the eventual 2014 Schmalz Cup champion Lakefield Chiefs. Picton also sported five of the top 10 scorers in the 2013-2014 Empire season with Brian Bunnett, Ryan Sizer, Evan Greer, Jack Davison, and Steve Clarke each surpassing 40 points.

Pirates coach and general manager Ryan Woodward said it was a tough task to select the winners. “With a great group, a talented bunch that made it all the way to the provincial quarterfinals and were within a goal of potentially reaching the Schmalz Cup again, it's tough to hand out individual awards,” he said. “It's tough to hand out individual awards — there are so many deserving recipients.” Brian Bunnett was among those who had standout seasons last year,
scoring 85 points in 40 games. He took home the Bobby Hull award for top scorer, and the Lionel Hicks Memorial Award for most valuable player. “Brian Bunnett had an outstanding season,” said Woodward. “Every time he touched the ice he made an impact. His impact was felt not just on the ice, but in the dressing room.” Woodward also spoke highly of Chris Jones, who took home the Wayne Lindsay Memorial Award for most improved player. “He was a player who came over (in a trade with Port Hope) who I think a lot of people didn't realize his potential,” he said.

Reaching foR goals Reaching for Rainbows representative Nancy Finora accepts (top) $3,000 from Andrew Januszkiewicz of Andrew & Emilyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No Frills and Loblaws and (bottom) $1,000 from Order of the Eastern Star Associate Matron Shelia Thomas for the female youth empowerment program. (Jason Parks/Gazette staff)
Donors give $4,000 for Reaching For Rainbows Staff writer
The female youth empowerment program Reaching For Rainbows received a healthy helping hand this week by way of a pair of donations. The Picton Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star donated $1,000 to the program while Andrew and Emily's NoFrills (through President's Choice Children's Charity) donated $3,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are wonderful signs of support for the Reaching for Rainbows program,â&#x20AC;? said program representative Nancy Finora. Reaching for Rainbows is an after school play program licensed by the Ministry of Education and supported by local elementary schools and social agencies which runs from the hall of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Picton. Up to 15 junior girls, ages 4 to 5, attend the program on Mondays and Tuesdays, while the same number of senior girls, ages 5 to 8, attend on Wednesdays and Thursdays. The program's mission statement is 'To create a nurturing environment where girls are celebrated and encouraged to develop life skills, academic skills and a vision for their own success. Finora said the ultimate
goal is to help the girls be socially aware and instill confidence and self esteem as they grow into young women. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We've had marvellous feedback from parents and educators,â&#x20AC;? she added. Heading into its fourth year, the program has exploded in popularity to the point there is a waiting list to be enrolled in the program that runs parallel to the school year. In order to operate, the program counts on support from community service groups, corporate and private donations and fundraising. The donation by the Eastern Star is part of that groups efforts to support a number of local charities and programs through the year as wells scholarships to graduating secondary school students. Among the fundraising efforts the Eastern Star chapter undertakes is their annual Down East Lobster Supper and proceeds from the event fund these causes. The donation by Loblaws comes by way of the regular Toonie campaigns that take place at the Picton grocery store. Store manager Andrew Januszkiewicz said the funds raised by the store stay in the community and the PC Children's Charity branch takes no administrative costs out of the money donated.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;That means when someone donates a toonie at Andrew & Emily's No Frills, the money stays right here in the Prince Edward County community and it goes right to the program we support,â&#x20AC;? he explained.

Quinte Conservation plans guided nature hike for families Aug. 20
Families looking for a little bit of outdoor adventure this summer need not look any further than right here in the Quinte Region. Quinte Conservation has announced it will stage a free family-friendly hike at the Quinte Conservation Area on Old Highway 2 just near the boundary of Belleville and Quinte West Aug. 20 between 6:30 and 7:30 p.m.
While on the hike, families will be able to learn about natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mysteries and the many habitats that are present in the public green space. Education coordinator Maya Navrot will be on hand to usher families through the area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This hike will introduce families and people of all ages to the wonders of nature at Quinte Conservation Area,â&#x20AC;? Navrot said.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;This area offers an abundance of recreational opportunities. Trails wind through the former farm, past fragrant orchards, open meadows and scenic woodlands. Anyone planning on coming should wear close-toed shoes and bring bug spray and their curiosity.â&#x20AC;? The hike is not just a stand-alone event either. It is part of the Conservation
Ontario Healthy Hikes program, which promotes healthy activities at conservation areas across the province. At the end of the tour, hikers can ask Navrot for a participation code. They can then register online at www.healthyhikes.ca for a chance to win gift cards from Mountain Equipment Co-op of values f$1,200, $800, or $500, based on levels of participation,
which could pay for a wide range of outdoor equipment or clothing. That web site also provides a calendar of activities taking place at various sites across the province. Meanwhile, Quinte Conservation is still offering its Monarch Madness educational program at no charge in two communities next month, thanks to Union Gas. The program features
nature games, scavenger hunts, hike,s netting for bugs, and taking milkweed plants home to help benefit monarchs. There may also be a live Ontario species-atrisk demonstration The event is slated for Madoc, Monday, Aug. 4 and at Conservation Park in Napanee, Friday, Aug. 8 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. -Staff
Barbecue to support local air cadets

a very special & personal workshop of guided movement & writing for all levels... taught by professionals info & pre-registeration 476.9963
May 15, 1929 - July 4, 2014 At Picton Memorial Hospital in her 86th year (and still holding at an ageless 29). Happily remembered, dearly loved and sadly missed by her “angelic” children, Kirk and his wife Beth of Uxbridge, Lisa and her husband Rob Hedger of Wellington, and Kent and his wife Karen of Brooklin, Ontario. Amazing Gramma to Ashley, Keldon, Shannyn, Kelsey, and Chase. Pre-deceased by beloved husband Doug and sister Verna (Fred Wagg). Loving sister to Bill Jones (Pat) and Ruth (Bill Andrews). Gladys always spread bright rays of sunshine (along with many business cards) around the county and the globe during regular travels and while pursuing a multitude of interests. Scuba diving, kayak tripping, tai chi, auction sales, life guarding, hiking, camping, elephant and camel jockeying. Gladys is especially fondly remembered for her “lion hunts” with the grandchildren, her black belt in shopping, skits with the Quinte Travel Trailer Club, charity work (CNIB, UCW, Rotary Club, Meals-on-Wheels), real estate, teaching, and being a “Hockey Mom”. Always up for an adventure, Gladys has now embarked on her next most fulfilling journey of all…to be with her Lord and Saviour on Holy Ground. Special thanks and sincere appreciation to Pastor Peter Spragg, Rev. Phil Hobbs, Dr. Russell, all her many faithful friends, and the wonderful caregivers at Fraser House, McFarland Home, and most recently Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital. A remembrance celebration for “a life well lived and loved” to be held at Picton United Church on July 31 at 7pm. All welcome! A gathering at Picton Royal Canadian Legion for family and friends will follow the service. If desired, donations to Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation or the Rotary Club of Picton would be appreciated. www.whattamfuneralhome.com for online donations and condolences.

CARD OF THANKS
There are not enough words to express our sincere thanks to our many family, friends and neighbours who were there for us and helped us during Anthony (Tony) MacPherson’s illness and passing. Thanks for the many visits, prayers and drives to and from doctor appointments and treatments. Thanks to everyone who made sure I got a ride to St. Mary’s Hospital every day so I could spend my days with Tony where he received the best care possible and thanks to family and friends who spent as much time as possible with us. Thanks to all who brought food to our house, for all the visits, phone calls and cards. Special thanks for the beautiful and sincere Memorial Service at The Salvation Army Church and for the donations there and for Bath United Church, also for the floral tributes. Thanks Charlie for playing his favourite tune and to the ladies for a wonderful lunch afterwards. Thanks again and God Bless everyone. All this helps ease my sorrow, but he will always be with us. We love you Tony. Flora (Flo) Pomeroy and families. BLOEDORN- Rudi. In loving memory of a dear husband and stepfather, who passed away July 31, 2013. Loving memories we will never forget, Sadly missed along life’s way, With silent thoughts and deep regret, We think of you every day, No longer in our life to share, But in our hearts he’s always there. Helen Bloedorn and family.

Dukes defender Paat commits to Alberta college for 2014-2015
Kyle Paat was rock solid on the blue line the Wellington Dukes for the past three seasons. Now, he’ll get his chance to ply his trade for a post-secondary club. The team announced this week that Paat will join Keyano College in Alberta this fall. “"Kyle is a player who we will really miss." said Dukes head coach and general manager Marty Abrams. "For the past three seasons we have relied on him to play huge minutes game in and game
out. He amazingly only missed one game in that time which speaks volumes about his dedication. I wish Kyle all the best.” With news that the Echo Bay, Ontario native is moving on, the Dukes have moved all six of their 20year-old players into situations where they can further their academic and athletic careers and have seen 11 2013-2014 Dukes commit to university or major junior. -Staff

AWARDS, from page 20
“By the end of the season we were starting to see some great things and we're hopeful he steps into this season and picks up where he left off. I see big things for him.” It was an especially tough year for the Pirates' annual awards banquet as the club said goodbye to some of its best players ever, said Woodward. “It's a celebration of a season gone by and a celebration of four overage players — Brandon Peever,
Evan Greer, Ryan Sizer, and Jack Davison — who will go down as four of the best Pirates of all time,” he said. “They're definitely the four winningest Pirates of all time. The four of them won three Empire championships and a provincial championship.” Woodward said the four players have given a major contribution to the club — one the would be difficult to ever repay. “We could never thank them enough,” said Woodward. “They've created a legacy that will last forever and they're going to be
players that every future Pirate is going to want to look up to, and to be at one point.” The 2013-2014 Picton Pirates individual awards winners were: Griffin McCarty, Walter E. Norton Memorial rookie of year award; Nolan Powers and Steve Clarke, Bill Ogden Memorial best defenceman award; Ryan Sizer and Jack Davison, Bill Strachan Memorial Award for sportsmanship; Chris Jones, Wayne Lindsey Memorial Award for most improved player; Adam Wood and Andrew Pear-

The site of a potential industrial wind turbine installation on Crown land in the county is set to be blitzed Aug. 9-10. Despite the intrusive terminology, the influx of people to the Ostrander Point area next month is not expected to be harmful to turtles or other wildlife,
but rather to help scientists get a better understanding of what is there to save. “It’s an inventory of all the flora and fauna on the site,” said Field Naturalist Myrna Wood. “We were looking at it and decided to do it at Ostrander Point.” Wood said that during the appeals process regarding the renewable energy approval Gilead Power sought for a nine-turbine
project at Ostrander Point, it became apparent that such an inventory had never been taken and did not exist for the site. In fact, she said, researchers seem to discover new species each time they visit the site. The term BioBlitz stems from a U.S. National Parks Service study of the Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens near Washington, D.C. in 1996, which helped

researchers identify 1,000 species with the assistance of government scientists. The trend came north with the Canadian Biodiversity Institute in the early 2000s and in 2010 Parks Canada held a series of BioBlitz events itself. Wood said the site has been available to researchers and she encouraged interested people to come out, whether they have experience identifying species or not. She said there will be experts present to help the public learn how to spot species of plants, birds, insects, amphibians, and reptiles. She added that some individuals will be looking at specific areas of study during their time at Ostrander Point. In particular, Wood hopes to learn more about the monarch butterflies and caterpillars that might be at the site. When the inventory is complete, Wood said the intention is for the Field Naturalists to publish their findings so that information might be kept on file. “We suspect the public will find it worthwhile to have additional information available,” she said, adding that as there will continue to be energy proposals situated along the south shore, that data will be valuable in providing a picture of exactly which species are present. “Much of the biodiversity of the South Shore Important Bird Area has not been identified,” Wood noted. “We hope this BioBlitz will help us to uncover the mysteries of who is living here as well as introduce the public to this unique site. Ostrander Point is really a gem that we have in the county and it needs to be better understood.” Nature Canada and the Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory will also be lending their support and expertise to the endeavour. Wood said the Field Naturalists are working on a schedule of the leaders who will take volunteers on hikes through the site as part of the blitz. That information and more can be found on the web site www.saveostranderpoint.org. Those interested in helping are invited to the base camp at Helmer Road and Babylon Road via the meeting place at 2763 County Rd. 13 Saturday, Aug. 9 beginning at noon. The event will run for 24 hours until noon Aug. 10. Meanwhile, the Field Naturalists are awaiting their next court date with regard to an appeal of the Gilead’s renewable energy approval for the site. The Ontario Court of Appeal granted leave of approval to hear the case last month.
