PECI, community celebrate the class of 2012 Generous support for graduates leads to another lengthy ceremony Jason parks

Staff writer

It's easily the longest and probably the hottest graduation ceremony amongst all of the secondary schools in the Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board.

While one can't control the heat, the length of the 2012 PECI graduation ceremonies is due to the fact that this community cares so deeply about those graduates making the transition to post secondary activities and wishes to commemorate the culmination of four years of studies at the local high school.

Over 70 major monetary awards, scholarships and bursaries were handed out to several of the 150 graduates taking part in PECI's annual culmination ceremony on Thursday evening and when combined with the students' council awards and Grade 12 subject awards, PECI's graduation ceremony becomes a marathon where others are sprints.

Graduate Quinn Abram came away with four major awards including the Governor General s Academic Medal (for highest academic standing.

Fellow graduate Katie Norris was also honoured more than once, winning a total of five major awards.

In addition to handing out hardware, PECI also took time to recognize the fact 34 students were Ontario Scholars, having earned a graduating average of 80 per cent or higher in six Grade 12 courses.

Those honoured included Abram, Norris, Cassidy Allison, Aaron Bowlby, Cassandra Buckley, Marianne Cameron, Emily Clapp, Jacob Clark, Jasper DaleyLeavitt, Jeff Finnegan, Leila Forsyth, Carling Nicole Fraser, Brady Greer, Melissa Heffernan, Ricky Holland, Brandon Hope, Jessica Jones, Kari Kozmanuk, Scott Kuipers, Brandon Lacey, Natalie Lockyer, Kali May, Geoff Middleton, Adam Miller, Colt Mitchell, Kris-

tine Ostrander, Brittany Powers, Kaitlin Shannon, Sarah Stanton, Alison Stenhouse, Brianna Storms, Robyn Thompson, Graeme Woodall and Kelsey Young.

Even if was by an inch or by a country mile, those 150 graduates sitting on the Picton arena floor Thursday had met the rigorous requirements laid out by the Ministry of Education and PECI's outgoing principal Shelley MacKenzie-Coates asked those leaving PECI for other endeavours to thank those supports they had surrounding them over their secondary school career.

“I sincerely hope you take a moment to thank them because they are party to your celebrations.

“It does indeed take a county- Prince Edward County- to raise a child and all of us here are very very proud of you,” MacKenzie Coates said.

As learners in the 21st Century, MacKenzie-Coates said PECI graduates embraced changes in learning with passion and vigour “Sometimes it was staff leading the way and other times, it was you students leading us, she said.

This fall, a crop of fresh young faces will take the graduates place at PECI and, in the ever turning circle of life, the assembled graduates will take places in post secondary schools or enter the workforce.

“Tonight we are passing the torch to you to lead the future and this torch comes with responsibility to protect what has come before you as well as ensuring the security of your future and the future of those coming behind you,” the principal said. “This is not a task for the weak, you will have to be bold and courageous, you will have to assume the burdens and rewards and when you stumble, you will have to come with perseverance in pursuit of your goal that you demonstrated so many times during your time at PECI.”

Bayfield responds to community concerns about runaway youth Chief operating officer apologizes, but says statistics about incidents circulating were blown out of proportion StAFF wrItEr

The many outraged residents living close to Bayfield Treatment Centres in Ameliasburgh finally heard the words they have been waiting for since runaways from the facility went on a spree of destruction earlier this year.

“Bayfield apologizes to those community members affected by the events,” said Sharlene Weitzman, Bayfield's chief operating officer. “We express regret in not having taken the initiative.”

Weitzman was responding to comments made by many area residents that Bayfield didn't reach out

those who were affected by the incidents and did not offer any apologies for them.

Bayfield is a treatment centre specializing in youth with special needs, including children who have experienced psychiatric, psychological, social and/or academic difficulties. Bayfield's main treatment centre is in Consecon, but there are four in total — two in Carrying Place and one in Rossmore.

Earlier this year three teens ran away from one of Bayfield's facilities breaking into and vandalizing 11 homes in the Consecon area.

The teens stole a car and weapons before being apprehended in Kingston. The damages were reported to be between $25,000 and $50,000. Similar incidents, including thefts, break-ins and vandalism, took place in 2010.

In the past two years the OPP have responded to 103 calls to Bayfield Treatment Centres' facilities.

“We've heard our community and clearly recognize the importance of future proactive communication and education,” she said.

Weitzman said Bayfield

Treatment Centres carry “a 39-year tradition of remarkable credentials as a leader in our industry.”

She said Bayfield has tried to work co-operatively with area residents since 2010, saying that as a result of public input the facility has developed protocols with police services, children's aid and probation services.

“Bayfield has enhanced our admission and placement process and provided financial remuneration to all community residents who have come forward for any damages,” Weitzman said.

“Bayfield has also implemented an unprecedented, and I repeat that, unprecedented community alert system. We have offered

Bayfield's response comes after no less than 10 residents took their complaints to a May 24 committee-of-the-whole meeting.

The residents asked for council to consider regulating such treatment facilities including minimum setback distances from homes.

Many residents like Mike Batty and Gary Rutt still weren't happy with Bayfield's response to the issue.

“This is not a choice between the kids or the community or the business, it's about community safety and the kids,” said Batty.

“Our recent history demonstrates the obvious, it's our view that regulation within the jurisdiction of the county is essential to return the quality of our county life.”

Rutt said the incidents have affected many residents' sense of safety.

“It's not getting any better. I've lived in the same place for 40 years and believe me, I don't feel safe anymore,” Rutt said. “A lot of us don't feel safe and the experience I've had no doubt pales in comparison to what happened here just recently. It's just deplorable, it's unacceptable and we shouldn't be putting up with it.”

Council will await a report from planning staff regarding potential additional security measures the municipality can enforce on group homes within the county before discussing the issue further.

participation in this system to any community resident who is a member of the Consecon and Area Ratepayers Association.”

She said it's Bayfield's goal to continue to work with the community and to accurately educate them about the facility. She began that process last week by reinforcing the fact that Bayfield's residents aren't incarcerated, aren't detained and don't “escape”— they run away “like any other child.”

“Bayfield does its best to maintain eye contact with its children at all times, to alert police and the community and to assist in returning our children to our direct care as quickly as possible,” she said.

Weitzman also disputed the validity of the OPP statistics regarding calls for service to Bayfield's county facilities.

“We have an enormous system in place of balances and checks and in no way do I want to minimize what happened, but I think it's also equally important not to blow up the proportion and context of the frequency at which it happens,” she said. “You can't just repeat those numbers out without comparisons to what else goes on in the province whether that's a group home or whether that's communities. I'm aware council received a list of calls that the OPP received — it's inaccurate and it's out of context.”

Hallowell House proudly flies Canadian flag from Parliament Hill McBride.

Rasell, who is the third oldest resident at Hallowell House and the oldest to take part in the ceremony said she was part of the residents’ council which decided it would like to have a flag on the property at the corner of the Loyalist Parkway and County Rd. 1.

She said she was excited when the flag arrived and even more thrilled by the prospect that she’d be able to hoist it up the flag pole in front of her fellow residents.

Staff writer

Many flags were raised and waved in the county last week, but few have a back story like the one flying above Hallowell House.

Last fall, the residents’ council at the long-term care home decided they’d like to see a flag pole bought to fly the Canadian flag, with the support of the management team.

That wasn’t quite good enough for food services manager Ventura Schimicci, however, as he decided he’d try to go a step farther for the home’s residents — some who had experienced war and others who had witnessed the flag debates before Lester B. Pearson was able to unveil the new national symbol in February 1965.

Schimicci contacted the federal government and requested a flag flown from the Peace Tower in Ottawa. He was pleased to hear back three weeks later that Hallowell House had indeed been approved to receive a flag from Parliament Hill, but it would likely come from the East Block or West Block since there is a lengthy waiting list of people waiting to receive a flag from the tower.

On a warm Thursday afternoon, in front of a crowd of residents, executive director Leanne Weir recalled that

“I was just thinking of how proud I was to be a Canadian citizen,� she said.

The residents — many who were decked out in their own red and white attire — celebrated the occasion with music at the gazebo as well as a cake decorated in a maple leaf theme.

Any Canadian resident can request a flag from Public Works and Government Services Canada by e-mailing minister@pwgsctpsgc.gc.ca. Flags are limited to one per household.

ShAred Spirit With the assistance of (from left) Fred McBride, Mike Richards, and

Ventura Schimicci, Margaret Rasell (seated) had the honour of raising a flag flown Nov. 11, 2011 on Parliament Hill at Hallowell House last week. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff) Schimicci told her not to hold her breath to receive the flag. “Ventura informed me he wasn’t expecting to see anything any time son,� she said. “There was a 23-year wait for a flag from either the East or West Block and a 35year wait for the Peace Tower. “ Weir said a couple weeks later, she received a red box with a parliamentary insignia embossed on it. She opened it to receive a flag and a note about its previous service.

The flag enclosed had flown on the West Block of Parliament Hill on Nov. 11, 2011.

“Not only did they manage to send a flag much quicker than expected, we received the flag that flew at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11 month of 2011,�

Weir exclaimed.

Instead of simply raising the flag, the staff of Hallowell House realized the significance of the Remembrance Day flag and decided they’d host a special ceremony leading up to Canada Day to properly dedicate their treasured gift. “We’re dedicating this flag to day to all the people who are proud to be Canadian,� she said.

Weir spoke of the discus-

sion in 1965 to create a national symbol and the fact the flag Canadians eventually adopted had neither the symbols of the English or the French in it, but rather a maple leaf, taken from the country’s Coat of Arms.

After unfurling the flag to applause, Weir invited Rev. Dorothy Lancaster to offer a special blessing over the flag before handing it over to Schimicci to co-ordinate the ceremonial flag raising.

Schimicci got the flag into position so that resident Margaret Rasell could raise it high with the assistance of environmental manager Mike Richards and Fred

series. The tour is a pledgebased fundraising event that provides an opportunity to ride through scenic parts of Canada and over 10,000 cyclists are expected to participate in 22 oneand two-day tours taking place across the country between June and September.

The tour has been a crucial part of the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada's fundraising efforts for over 20 years.

The Prince Edward tour will weave participants past checkpoints in Picton, Demorestville and Mt. Carmel comprising a route of 75km.

Keefe Valladares an engineer with Bombardier Kingston said it's important to contribute to causes that will both take place locally and help local people.

“The 2012 MS Ride in Prince Edward County is the inaugural ride for the MS Society and it was only fitting that we put together a Bombardier Kingston team for the first time,” he said. “We are a group of enthusiastic, beginner cyclists who are keen to contribute to the local community, while doing something we enjoy. It is especially rewarding raising money for the MS Society as it is the only one of its kind in Canada and they do a lot for those living with MS.” Valladares said he has nine people signed up for his team. He said the team has a fundraising goal of $4,000.

“To meet our goals, we set up fundraising events such as 50/50 draws and ‘Jean-Day’ donations for the month of June,” he said.

“We are well on our way to surpassing our goal and look forward to riding together for the event.”

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, often disabling disease of the brain and spinal cord that affects between 55,000 and 75,000 Canadians. It is the most common neurological disease of young adults in Canada and three Canadians are diagnosed with the illness every day. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 15 and 40, and the unpredictable effects of MS last for the rest of their lives.

The event brings awareness to the thousands living with multiple sclerosis in Canada, but is also a vital component in the fight against the disease with an estimated $3 million in pledges being raised across Ontario. The money funds vital services for those with the disease, research into the cause and treatment.

MS Society of Canada chief executive officer Yves Savoie said the tour is one of the organizations most significant fundraising initiatives.

“We are so grateful to everyone who cycles rain or shine in support of those living with MS,” he said.

“The commitment that is shown each year by the cyclists, volunteers, donors and sponsors across Ontario is truly inspirational. I know this year will be no exception.”

Under Quaiff’s hand, Rotary revamped operations and kept promises Second female president, Musgrove, assumes leadership role AdAM BRAMBURGER

Staff writer

Robert Quaiff raised a glass of Scotch with his fellow past presidents of the Picton Rotary Club last Tuesday, celebrating a steady year at the helm of the club.

Quaiff said over the past 12 months, he’s seen plenty about the good work Rotary does — be it through ongoing projects supported by the local club, like the building of a vocational centre in Atorkor, Ghana, or progress in building a residential hospice in the county, or in the works of the Rotary Foundation elsewhere. “I've witnessed Rotary change lives not just ,� he said. “Rotary means hope, it means health and literacy,it means honesty and fellowship. It means having courage to make things better. “ Perhaps the moment he found most endearing in the past year, however, was when he wasn’t able to guide the ship as smoothly. “I had an 18-month-old grandson who was headed for a four-and-a-half-hour kidney surgery at Sick Kids Hospital,� he said.

Quaiff told a story about asking immediate past-president Jim Wait to fill in for him with some of his duties with the club. Wait’s response really struck a chord. “Past-president Jim said ‘What can Rotary do for you and for your family?’� he recalled. “That’s when I knew I was in the right organization. Everyone in this club pitches in to assist.�

Through his address,

K. MUSGROVE

Quaiff acknowledged the support of his board and the finance committee in particular for their hard work in revamping the club’s bylaws and its finances.

Also, he said he felt confident Rotary had worked toward seeing the realization of the projects it holds dear. “The Atorkor project fits in here and has to be considered one of the most successful international projects Picton Rotary has ever been involved with,� he said.

Quaiff added the hospice project is one that is very worthy of the club’s support and he stressed the value of the club keeping its promise to see that realized as he read a quotation that stressed the importance of choosing projects carefully and following through with them.

Though the past year has been a balancing act with his other duties as a municipal councillor, police services board chair, yacht club member, businessman, husband, father, and grandfather Quaiff said he felt the presidency really helped him grow as a person.

“Last year I stood on stool to address all of you, and yes, it is not the same podium but I find myself not needing that stool now,� he said.�

Being your president the past year has made me grow, it has made me more confident in myself and truly opened my eyes to what being a Rotarian really is.�

Assuming the mantle of leadership is Kirsten Musgrove, who will be just the second female president in the club’s 69-year history, following Debbie MacDonald Moynes in 1996-1997.

With a new baby at home and a law career she’s trying to build upon, Musgrove said there “probably couldn’t be worse timing� but ultimately, it was an opportunity she couldn’t pass up. “It’s going to be far busier than I anticipated, but it’s also going to be very rewarding,� she said.

Musgrove said the club is strong with 65 active, engaged members and, together, they can stay the course to make a difference. “We have a strong history of giving in this community, giving to the Rotary Foundation and other international projects. We have a healthy student exchange program,� she said. “Of course, there are always things that can be improved on. In the coming year, I feel there's no need to reinvent the wheel, maybe we just need some more grease on some of the cogs.

Musgrove said the club would continue to work on Atorkor and expressed excitement that the hospice could become a reality dur-

ing her term.

The new president indicated the strength of the club is built on the passion and dedication of many members, board members, and past presidents over the years, including the past five: Quaiff, Wait, John Clarke, David Burn, and Scott Lavender who have served during her time in the club.

In an attempt to keep the focus of the night on them, Musgrove indicated they have all shaped the way she will lead moving forward. “They all brought a different style and their own strengths and accomplishments to the club,� she said. “ I learned so much from

them. I’m borrowing from their legacy and the legacy of

all the presidents before them.�

The Picton Gazette THURSDAY, JULY 5, 2012

PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY

Looking back in the

Picton Gazette 80 years ago — 1932

■ Picton’s mayor, George Welch, expressed his hope the town’s tax rate would decrease by two mills in the upcoming year. He said the County asked for less and he aso asked town staff to keep expenditures to a minimum.

■ The People’s Mutual Telphone Company met in Demorestville for its annual meeting and for the 26th year since the line was built Arnold D. Way was elected secretary — even though he asked to be relieved of the position. The company operated throughout Sophiasbugh Township and had connections to Bell.

■ Lyle Ketchum, of Rochester, New York, caught a 20-lb muskie on West Lake. The fish, which was 45.5 inches in length was brought in after 10 minutes of fighting.

■ The Canadian tourism industry was valued at $250 million for the 1931 year.

50 years ago — 1962

■ The Picton Rotary Club was set to embark on an international project to collect library books for Tanganyika (now part of Tanzania). The English fiction books will be delivered to schools and it will help combat illiteracy among youth.

■ The H. J. McFarland Construction Company’s portable asphalt plant was busy at the Ridge Road gravel pit turning out hot mix for that year’s roads paving program. Provincial Hwy 14 (now 62) was one of the roads resurfaced.

■ The Army Central Fund provided a $1,500 grant for recreational opportunities around the Picton Heights community.

The money would be used to help build playgrounds and recreational facilities.

■ The Prince Edward County Health Unit tested 4,029 pupils for tuberculin during the school year. There were 32 positive tests and more than 80 per cent were from families moving to the county

30 years ago — 1982

■ The County was being asked to pay $5,000 toward a new $300,000 municipal airport at CFB Trenton. The project, which appeared to have support from all levels of government would use existing military runways and allow carrier Torontair to fly to Brockville, Ottawa, Syracuse, Kingston, Montreal, Toronto, and Elliott Lake. Studies showed the airport could yield between 6,000 to 10,000 passengers a year.

■ Local farmers welcomed Alan Campbell, a Junior Farmers exchange visitor from Northern Ireland on his first visit to Canada. Campbell said the poor weather was a disappointment. He said Canada’s milk quota system was one difference for him and he also wondered how the fast food industry here could find enough customers to sustain itself..

10 years ago — 2002

■ While Premier Ernie Eves was touting a $9-billion investment in health care, Quinte Health Care president and chief executive officer Bruce Laughton was saying his hospital would only see a two-percent increase in base funding, leaving it with a projected $4.7 million shortfall.

■ A 56-year-old Picton man was charged with indecent assault and gross indecency for acts which allegedly took place in the 1970s. The incidents involved inappropriate touching of the genital areas of three males aged 6 to 19. The man was to appear in Picton court to face charges.

Main Duck Island — a place apart

After over five hours of grooming six kilometres of trails on Main Duck Island, four volunteers lifted the heavy walk behind rotary brush mower from the dock and back into the boat for the trip back to the mainland.

As the boat and our 12 volunteers left the harbour and entered Lake Ontario, I unconsciously grabbed hold of both handlebars of the mower as my mind wandered away for a moment to something else – maybe a future project, or perhaps if my wife and dog were waiting for me at home.

Suddenly, I became aware of some light-hearted laughter from the volunteers.

“Look at Terry. He’s been behind the mower so long, he can’t let go of it!”

Why do senior volunteers work like they do, on what was the hottest day so far this year? And most of us there that day were seniors. Is it because we don’t know any better, or we are simply used to long hours and focussing on the job at hand? Whatever it is, I was so pleased to be part of a team that just wouldn’t stop as pruners clacked and another smaller mower tackled a single one kilometre trail, not once, but four times, to achieve the desired width. It’s operator from Ameliasburgh was soaked with perspiration, but he soldiered on until I waved my arms as a signal to break for lunch.

Chainsaws hummed as trees fallen over winter were cleared from the trails, and my big rotary mower challenged a length of trail near the lighthouse, overgrown with locusts, wild grapes and wild raspberries, opening it up so visitors to this historic island could make it the very

OUTDOOR RAMBLES TERRY SPRAGUE

tip where it overlooks a long ago boiler from the shipwreck, the Navajo.

From the wavy drifts of empty zebra mussel shells on shore that adjust their direction according to the whims of the waves, it is 19 km back to the mainland at Prince Edward Point, but ironically, only a kilometre from the U.S. border. It is this proximity to the United States that made this island so popular for rumrunners in the 1920s.

They would wait in the harbour where we docked, for night to fall so they could smuggle illegal booze across to the U.S. under the veil of darkness.

It is the island’s colourful history that is the magnet today. This almost 900-acre island within a good stone’s throw of the American border has seen it all – rumrunners, its ownership in the 1940s by Claude (King) Cole, and in later years, John Foster Dulles, the Secretary of State under Eisenhower. We spent some time on our visit removing branches and cutting brush that have threatened to swallow up what remains of the Dulles cabin

site. Then, we mowed some grass around the foundation.

John would have been pleased.

I pointed out the beach where Queen Elizabeth enjoyed a private picnic in 1984, and recounted the days when lighthouse keepers maintained the lighthouse before automation in 1985.

The lightkeeper’s house is still there, a stack of firewood in the porch and a bar of soap on the sink where it has been, untouched, for the past two and a half decades.

The sidewalk that stretched from the residence to the lighthouse is still there, now encroached at one end by tangles of wild raspberries and red osier dogwood. Our 12 volunteers, pruners and brush mowers working in harmony, cleared much of that away in an effort to provide better access to the lighthouse site for visitors.

Earlier photos show this area in 1983 well groomed, the house occupied, utility poles standing proudly that once carried electricity from the generators to the house, and beyond. To hope one day to return this overgrown jungle to its former pre-1985 glory, is an impossible dream, but we will, at least, do the best we can in the time we have each year during our volunteer day.

For the most part, the land is shallow here and the oaks and ironwoods are gnarled, after years of trying to eke out a meagre living. Although now owned by Parks Canada, the land mass is considered part of Prince Edward County. In fact, the island resembles the county so closely, it is as though someone had taken a giant piece of it and dropped it into Lake Ontario.

Like Prince Edward County,

the north shore is accented by high cliff edges, scarred by the relentless pounding of waves, its south shore sloping to the lake edge, the water dotted by numerous erratics, and beach gravel piled high with drifts of zebra mussel shells. The roadway/trail skirts around several wetlands and ponds as it makes its way to the west end of the island.

Once again, I have the pleasure of partnering with Sandbanks Vacations of Bloomfield and Ducks Dive Charters in offering weekly interpretive tours to this amazing island.

Our tours run every Wednesday through July and August, commencing at the Ducks Dive Charters Harbour at 8:00 a.m., and returning by 4:30 p.m. It is a fun filled day as I tell the story of Main Duck Island through stories and humorous misadventures and lead you on the now well groomed trails to the Dulles cabin site, before heading to the lighthouse for lunch.

Learn more about these tours on our dedicated web site www.mainduckisland.com .

Read the stories and see the photos on this website, then plan to join us. You can register directly with Sandbanks Vacations, or just send me an e-mail with your contact information, and I will forward it on.

Plan to join us this summer as we once again regale you with tales of rumrunners Gentleman Charlie Mills, Ben Kerr and Wild Bill Sheldon, and stories about Main Duck owners Claude Cole and John Foster Dulles.

Canadian residents can fish without a licence in Ontario from July 7-15

Starting Saturday, Canadian residents will be able to fish without a licence throughout Ontario for one week.

The promotion is part of family fishing week in Ontario and is a tourism ini-

tiative of the provincial government and a number of outdoors organizations.

“Ontario has beautiful lakes, streams, and rivers.

Whether you’ve never fished before or have been doing it

for years, fishing is a wonderful way to spend time together as a family,” said Minister of Natural Resources Michael Gravelle in a press release.

Those fishing without licences over the next week

must still comply with conservation licence limits as set out in the province’s 2012 Recreational Fishing Regulations Summary.

Parents, youth need to be aware of gravity of text messaging

A study released by the University of Texas this week suggests that more than 30 per cent of American teenagers are using their communications devices to request naked photographs, while more than 57 per cent say the same was requested of them.

Some, including the study’s authors are pointing to the results and saying that teenagers today take more liberal views about sex — which is likely true to an extent — but one must also consider the increase has come because of the development of a medium that allows most youth to carry a camera and a device that offers them the ability to pass on any images or writing they choose within seconds.

The study also indicated that more than half of the people (of both sexes) who received requests for erotic messages were bothered by the requests.

The research is just the latest of a number of studies on the subject. The New York Daily News reports another study showed that one in five teens had sent sexually explicit photos on their phone, and another that suggests more than one-third of British youth under age 18 had come across “sexting.”

The trouble with these statistics is that many youth, despite those admitting to being bothered, don’t see these texts as anything too serious. Some bothersome requests are shrugged off, while many teens have also welcomed the idea with a person they wanted to send photos too, only to turn around later and regret sending those photos when a relationship turned sour or when they surfaced elsewhere because of another person’s actions.

As society has become more progressive over the years, parents have had to open up to the notion that youth are learning about sex sooner and have had to grapple with the idea of teaching them about it ahead of the curve in society. Sheltering young people isn’t an answer in that situation, and it isn’t in this one either. The numbers prove that youth do engage in such conversations, so parents should be aware and should be having the talk with their children about the real-world consequences of what their actions in the cyber realm mean.

A few years back, there was plenty of discussion about the idea of online safety and how parents should try to be in the room with their children to treat their computers like their own homes, guarding against the idea young people might wander down the wrong road or might inadvertently invite the wrong people in. With today’s technology, it is getting quicker for people to be engaged and it is becoming so all-encompassing that it is hard to keep tabs on devices so small they can be used anywhere at almost any time.

One option is to resist the urge to allow smartphones, but it doesn’t seem like a realistic one for most youth these days as society is more and more geared to their use. Instead, parents and teens should have a good talk about usage and the public nature of communications devices, then set some ground rules that will help maintain safety.

Leading gardening expert and author to visit Regent Theatre

The County of Prince Edward Public Library & Archives is pleased to present a very special appearance by leading Canadian gardening expert and author Marjorie Harris on Saturday, July 21 at 11 a.m. at the Regent Theatre in Picton.

Marjorie Harris is the gardening columnist for The Globe and Mail and has been since 1990. She delivers speeches to inspire gardeners and would-be gardeners across the country and was editor-at-large of Gardening Life magazine prior to its folding in 2008. She has been an editor at Chatelaine and Maclean’s, is a frequent gardening contributor on CBC Radio and has written fifteen gardening books.

“Her books are likely the most popular gardening books at the library,” says Llibrary CEO Barbara Sweet, “They run the gamut from the straightforward advice found in How to Make a Garden to the larger format of Seasons of my Garden which tells the story of Marjorie Harris’s own garden and features outstanding photography by Andreas Trauttmansdorff. The result is a beautiful coffee table book.”

Marjorie Harris’s most recent book The Thrifty Gardener for House of Anansi was published in March 2012, and in addition to her continuing work as garden columnist at the Globe the busy writer also contributes feature articles to Canadian Gardening, Zoomer magazine and Garden Design magazine.

Popular appearances in Port Hope at the home and garden tour, John Szczepaniak’s garden tour in Ottawa, her garden tours in

InsIde the lIbrary CHRISTINE RENAUD

Italy and her Garden Design Services round out a full schedule.

The event at the Regent Theatre July 21 is a fundraiser for the library and tickets are $10, available at the theatre box office.

An expert with a sense of humour, Marjorie Harris’s talk at the Regent will be “Let’s stop making ugly gardens”, a lively presentation of what to do and, more importantly, not do, to create beautiful, sustainable gardens. The presentation will include personally selected images. There will be an opportunity to purchase Ms. Harris’s books and have copies signed.

The morning event will also provide an opportunity for four lucky audience members, chosen at random through a draw, to enjoy lunch with Harris following the presentation.

Reader doesn’t consider letter to offer credible information on turbines

Your correspondent Mike Platt of South Bay (Gazette, June 28) appears to be one and the same person as Michael Francis Platt of County Rd. 13 in South Marysburgh, one of the owners of the land proposed to host turbine 25 in wpd Canada’s White Pines project , all as identified on the “Notice of Final Meeting” published by wpd in the same edition and in the relevant accompanying documents recently published on its web site.

His letter would thus lack any credibility and be suspect in its entirety in the absence of an up-front decla-

WELLINGTON ROTARIANS HELP HOSPITAL The Picton Gazette

ration of his conflict of interest, it being a well-known fact that lessors to turbine developers receive significant annual amounts of taxpayer- sourced money per turbine for the life of the lease.

That apart, his unsubstantiated nonsense lacks any reference to any source — let alone any reliable source.

I have no financial interest one way or the other, just a conviction based on credible, world wide, evidence that wind power is not for the county.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Wind energy doesn’t live up to government hype

Mike Platt asserts (letter, June 28th) that people who oppose industrial wind turbines are "obfuscating" the truth about the turbines.

And he does so without advancing a single fact about the turbines -- just the assertion that governments think they're safe.

Ah, those fine governments who also assured us of the safety of tobacco, asbestos, bisphenol A, phthalates and many drugs now pulled from the market.

So is wind energy green, as Platt asserts?

Mike, check the amount of energy that goes into producing the concrete in the footpads vs. the amount of

energy produced by a turbine. You'll be shocked.

Is it affordable? Wind energy will help double the cost of hydro in the near future. Wind producers are paid 13.5 cents per kilowatt hour while hydro from Niagara Falls costs four cents.

And guess what? The system is rigged so that when wind energy is being produced, the province is forced to buy it in favour of cheaper energy from Niagara.

I don't know about you, but if I had a choice of a commodity at 13.5 cents and one at four cents -and both were equal -- I'd go for the affordable one.

So why isn't the government?

Does wind energy create jobs? In Scotland, 3.7 jobs were lost per green energy job created, despite transfers of $521 million from the rest of the United Kingdom for renewable energy.

In Spain, 2.2 private sector jobs were lost per green energy job created -- and each green energy job cost over a $1 million. In the United Kingdom, four jobs were lost for every wind energy job created -- and each of those wind energy jobs was subsidized. In Germany, each wind energy job cost up to $250,000 per year.

Does it create economic

diversity? Not really. Sure, it puts money into the hands of a small number of landowners, but the rest of the economy takes a huge hit. An economic report shows that the cost to the county's economy could be as high as $40 million.

The government is, no doubt, delighted that people like Platt accept their propaganda without question. But when you look below the surface, wind energy simply doesn't live up to government hype.

You could say, it turns out to be nothing more than hot air.

Pamela Stagg

Unreliable, inefficient, expensive energy is anti-green

When it comes to industrial wind turbines there are many opinions pro vs. con.

Which side do you believe and are you actively supportive? Make no mistake, everyone is affected!

High electricity prices are painful for every household monthly bill plus devalued property values directly affect net worth plus high rates drive away manufacturing plants/jobs.

Most of us tend to believe or wish to believe that big government would have good reasons related to the betterment of society as a whole to impose industrial turbines on us. Everyone is

welcome to their own opinions, but not their own facts.

These are facts...

■ The Auditor General’s most recent report shows Ontario lost $1.8 billion selling our surplus power to Quebec and the United States over the past six years.

■ Having the second-highest energy prices in North America continues taking its toll in Ontario. Several weeks ago, General Motors announced it was moving production of the Equinox and Impala from Oshawa to the United States, impacting 2,000 Ontario jobs. High energy costs were cited as one

of the factors for the decision

by G.M. ■ Unpredictable and undispatchable, wind can provide for neither base load nor peak load situations. Wind can only be an occasional supplement that itself requires much supplementation.

■ It is bald-faced lying when Premier Dalton McGuinty repeatedly says that the turbine setback requirements in Ontario are “some of the toughest in the world” and “the best in North America.”

Given all the facts not just those above, I believe that wind energy is the opposite

of green technology.

Conservation -- reduce, re-use, recycle -- is green, a frugal approach that makes sense.

Wind energy -- unreliable, inefficient, expensive is anti-green, a bad approach that makes no sense.

Please review all the industrial wind turbine facts, as I am confident you will then feel as I do. Then let your voice be heard. Politicians got us into this mess and politicians should correct this unsustainable policy.

Ray Hobson South Marysburgh

Landowners’ rights being expropriated under Green Energy Act

Expropriation is common practice when government locates power plants on private property.

Landowners are compensated for their property’s fair market value plus relocation expenses. Fair deal?

Not so when it is a nearby wind energy factory!

Under its feed-in tariff program, the Ontario government contracts with developers to locate electricity-generating wind factories too close to

neighbouring landowners, blatantly expropriating implicit property rights. It does not pay compensation. The Green Energy Act makes it possible.

For Ontario’s thousands of rural landowners near an industrial wind turbine, these expropriated rights include: ■ Their common law right to quiet use and healthy enjoyment of their property.

■ Their right to their life

savings, devastated by their property’s reduced market value.

■ Their right to participate in local municipal planning.

■ Their right to build a residence anywhere on their property, with municipal approval.

■ Their right to a “Naturally Green” environment for wildlife and for their grandchildren.

■ Their right to a touristfriendly, employment-en-

abling local economy.

■ Their right to a neighbourly neighbourhood.

These implicit democratic rights come with the deeds to the properties that Ontarians purchase. They are expropriated when a wind energy factory comes anywhere near. There is no compensation.

Who says Ontario is a democracy?

Finnegan selected as PECI valedictorian Speaker likens secondary school career to receiving a driver’s licence

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

Those taking in Thursday's PECI graduation ceremony had to imagine that, as a man of many talents, valedictorian Jeff Finnegan had a trick up his sleeve.

On his way to Kingston and Queen's University to pursue a law degree, Finnegan was, as educator Rob Garden put it, a valedictorian that embodied a number of traits of his fellow classmates.

According to Garden, Finnegan was (to name a few traits of 2012 grads) smart like Quinn Abram, caring like Cassandra Buckley, stylish like Kayla Paradis and friendly like Sarah Stanton.

The PECI teacher charged with introducing Finnegan to the assembled crowd of onlookers Thursday said the choice of Finnegan as representative of the class of 2012 was apt.

“You chose him to be your valedictorian today because he represents a piece of each and everyone of you and I Commend you on a excellent choice,” Garden said. “Jeff is a great ambassador for PECI and Prince Edward County and we all wish him much success in the next chapter of his life as we do all the graduates.”

In his address to his fellow classmates, Finnegan likened graduating secondary school to getting one’s driver’s licence.

“You feel a sense of accomplishment and relief, but in reality the driving experience is just beginning. I am sure you all feel this way tonight. You feel proud of your accomplishment, of reaching this point but know

saying goodbye PECI’s 2012 Valedictorian Jeff

deep in your heart that this is really just the beginning.

And the challenge is that while many of us have an idea of where we’re going from here and what we would like to do, the map is not the terrain, it is simply an interpretation of certain aspects of the terrain. I am sure there will be traffic jams and fender benders and road closures along the way but that is all just part of the journey and part of the challenge,” Finnegan said.

In terms of life at PECI during the past four years, Finnegan said it would be likely that the new incoming crop of grade nine students would face some of the same challenges and have some of the same experiences (especially in staff-student interactions) the graduates had.

And some things would remain constant for some of the grads as they vacated their second home at 41 Barker Street.

“But the thing we have to realize is, change is a part of life and all things must come to an eventual end in order to make room for new experi-

ences. There is no use in denying or fighting it, we simply have to learn to embrace change as scary as it may be. The way I like to look at it is; no matter what happens no one can take away from us all the remarkable memories we have made during our time here at PECI. Whether they are memories of playing on sports teams, performing in the talent show or just hanging out with friends on the weekends they will always be ours to cherish. We have so much to be proud of as a school and as a community.

“We have proven time after time that we care, through our schools continued participation in events such as The Terry Fox Run, The 30 Hour Famine, Relay For Life and Hoops For Heart. When contemplating about what I was going to say in this speech, I came to the realization of why our school is truly so awesome,” Finnegan said, adding the school was more then a place of education.

Jurors ‘blown away’ by local talent as Art in the County opens in new space Terry Williams remembered as 19th annual exhibit kicks off AdAm BrAmBurger Staff writer

There was a bit of a bittersweet sentiment as the 19th Art in the County exhibition opened Thursday.

A bright new location in the Lipson Room above Books & Company offered the committee and the jurors more space to creatively display pieces and hundreds of people flocked in to see what local artists had created this time around, a familiar face wasn’t in the crowd.

Folk artist Terry Williams was an active member of the Prince Edward County Arts Council leading up to his death this spring, a regular contributor to the exhibit, and a driving force behind the Arts on Main Gallery where many of the artists also show work collectively.

The show’s chair, Susanne Barclay said Williams was on the committee’s mind as they prepared for the event.

“This year, our community lost a very dear friend with the passing of Terry Williams,” she said. “Terry was a great supporter and participant in Art In The County and we're honoured to dedicate this year's show in his memory.”

The show is quite the spectacle to be associated with. Barclay said this year 124 pieces by 85 different artists made the cut following intense scrutiny from well-known Toronto area artists Anthony J. Batten, Andrew Benyei, and Zora Buchanan.

Barclay said in her communications with them, she learned the jurors were quite impressed with both the quality and quantity of art being produced here.

“I have to tell you that our jurors were quite blown away by the variety and exceptional talent of the arts community here. There is so much talent in such a small area,” she said.

Barclay thanked the jurors as she said they were quite generous with their time, even offering good feedback to those artists who had work rejected for the show.

“I know those of you whose work was declined and returned for juror critique found their input both thoughtful and helpful.”

Through their work, the jurors again managed to select their five favourite pieces of the show and an additional five honourable mentions from the field.

Among the juror’s award winners were...

■ Philip Dandurand for #3, an oil painting on canvas, depicting the back of a nude model.

The jurors wrote:“The placement of the body on the canvas, the sense of it being boxed in, provides an emotional impact. The body looks very strong while the position is one of weakness.

Both the reflective quality of the surface and the use of negative space are strong elements.

■ Robin Everhardus for All the trees of the field, a fibre arts piece depicting four trees of

different seasonal colours on a common background.

The jurors wrote: This work is unique and the allusion to the seasons is depicted beautifully. The approach is most unusual, interesting and beautiful in its simplicity.

The piece knits together traditional and contemporary ways of thinking.”

■ Caroline Shuttle for Colour Splash Series #3, a glass bowl featuring brightly several differently shaped pieces of brightly coloured glass.

The jurors wrote: “The glass has become fluid. There is a great sense of whimsy and wonderful use of vibrant colours. A sense of humour is depicted in the drips underneath the platter.”

“A sense of humour is depicted in the drips underneath the platter.”

■ Vanessa Pandos for Ode #1, to Adam, a colourful glass suncatcher.

The jurors wrote: The use of bright primary colours is a strong element of this piece.

This work melds elements of traditional and abstract art. It is beautifully composed with both vertical and horizontal elements.”

■ Susan Chambers for Flight Path, a colourful acrylic painting with bright colours an abstract foreground and more detail toward the back.

The jurors wrote: The mixture of abstraction and representation works particularly well in this piece.

There is a depth of colour and form. The focal point is extremely well defined and the small scale and blocks of

Among the honourable mentions were...

■ Kenneth Flitton for his oil piece Medicine Lake, Aberta, which features a colourful depiction of a winding road curving around the lake.

The jurors wrote: “This painting is a classical Canadian landscape handled in a masterly manner. The wonderful use of colour unites the whole image.”

■ Tom Humphries for his oil on masonite work Picton Madonna, a piece juxtaposing the county’s Loyalist roots and modern issues such as industrial wind turbines and wineries.

The jurors wrote: This piece is contemporary folk art, both whimsical and serious.”

Administrators offer words of encouragement

GRADS, from page 1

Superintendent Colleen Demille was among those bringing remarks from the HPEDSB and she echoed MacKenzie-Coates' comments about the dedication and support of parents that helped foster the learning process.

We are here today because of dedication and support of those in the audience. They have had an influence on you and they hope you will have the same positive influence on others as you go out in the world, Demille said.

She added all actions have consequences and they make impacts on others just as others take actions that have impacts on the graduates.

“Every action we take or decide not to take. Each and everyone of you will create consequences to those around you.

“It is critical for you to recognize the impact you have on those around you and strive to use this knowledge wisely to bring kindness, compassion, respect, joy, love and hope to everyone you encounter.“ She used the PECI lip dub as an example of an action and a consequence. “ The PECI lip dub started with a decision by a student to create a video, then a decision by a staff mem-

ber to support the idea and then a decision by the entire school community to embrace the idea which led to the creation of an incredible and most inspiring display of school pride and spirit,” Demille said.

“It was a far reaching consequence for you students and those students about to enter the doors of PECI.This video demonstrated the incredible team spirit that exists at PECI which has helped to make your mark in our system and its one that everyone is talking about. “

Prince Edward north school board trustee Jennifer Cobb told the graduates as they walked off the stage this evening diplomas in hand, they would start walking away from PECI. “Every journey begins with a small step and tonight we are celebrating a

Casa Dea Estates Winery exhibiting a passion for all things wine at Hillier location since 2009

This week we are visiting Casa Dea Estates Winery who just celebrated their third anniversary a couple weeks ago (June 16). When you visit Casa Dea you will find a real passion for all things wine. They want everyone to: Enjoy, Escape, Explore and Experience.

From the moment you turn onto the drive and head towards the main building you know that this winery is something special. You find yourself driving through the rows of grape vines knowing that soon you will be sipping some wine made from them.

The impressive tasting room just seems to beckon.

Casa Dea opened in spring 2009 with a passionate new winemaker who's been creating their new wines.

Paul Battilana is an Ontario native who has a passion to produce high quality wines.

He moved to Prince Edward County to take on the position of winemaker at CasaDea Estates Winery after creating several vintages in the Niagara Peninsula.

sippinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in the County JOE HACHE

Battilana was in the first graduating year at Niagara College and has worked as an assistant winemaker at several high profile wineries in the Niagara Peninsula. His vision is to produce fruit that expresses the terroir of our property so as to produce characterful, stylish, elegant

wines.

Battilana works constantly with their vineyard manager and field hands, to finetune unique viticulture practices to perfect the strengths of various blocks from their vineyard sites.

In the cellars, ongoing advancements in yeast selection, specific barrel cooperage, vinification techniques and handling, are creating inspiring results. Their goal is to craft excellent wine, and their team must carefully oversee the vineyard, and learn to implement what is needed. On one of my visits there I actually found Paul trying out different blends and I spent a couple hours with him tasting some of his work in progress!

County soil is famous for producing grapes with excellent fruit concentration due to its good structure, ample drainage, shale and minerals resulting in healthy development of vines and fruit with character. Casa Dea Estates has two vineyards currently under production and both have very similar soil types.

They both have a clay limestone soil that is unique to Prince Edward County. Their first vineyard is planted on the site of the winery and was planted in 2001 with Cabernet Franc, Riesling, Pinot noir, Pinot gris and Chardonnay. Their other vineyard is located on Cold Creek Road and was planted in 2002 and has Cabernet Franc, Gamay, Zwiegelt,

Cheers! Casa Dea vice president of operations and

general manager Paul Marconi raises a glass with his wife Nicole at Terroir 2012 (Joe Hache/For The Gazette)

Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and Melon de Bourgougnon.

There's lots to see and do at Casa Dea besides just tasting a glass (or three!) of wine.

Aside from meandering through their vineyard and sampling their wines you can also learn all about pairing wines and food with a "Taste and Tour".

During tourist season, lunch at their Cucina Italiana is a must! Delores and I have been there several times. We found out that their chef's creations (a special, farmfresh experience every day along side a regular menu) pair perfectly with their wine. There's nothing like

dining "al fresco" looking out over the vineyard.

Know anyone having a special day approaching?

Casa-Dea offers a charming venue for both indoor and outdoor wedding ceremonies and wedding receptions. Imagine an intimate outdoor ceremony under the pergola in the tranquility surrounded by their stunning vineyard. Casa-Dea's Banquet Hall is wrapped with a large porch that leads directly into the vineyards.

Indoors you can choose an informal stand-up affair or a more formal seated service. It's a superb setting to dance the night away with

vaulted ceilings adding grandeur and fabulous acoustics for live entertainment or a disc jockey. They can accommodate up to 200 people indoors and 1,400 outdoors so any size party is welcome.

Located just west of the Village of Wellington, the winery visit is a most enjoyable trip to experience the county. Here you can relax, unwind, enjoy the grounds, vineyard and take in that fresh-air feeling, surrounded by greenery, open space and the vineyards. You can feel free to browse the shelves in their huge wine boutique for gift ideas like wine-themed home dĂŠcor accessories, wine accessories, gift baskets, Casa-Dea t-shirts and art by local artists. There's always something new at the La Pergola Tasting Villa.

It's always a pleasure when we go "Sippin in the County" with friends and stop by Casa Dea. We always get a warm welcome and while they get a chance to leave with some great wine they are also able to get some fun souvenirs to remind them of their visit to the county.

Students kick off summer with party at County Youth Park on final day of school tionally the profile of the party in the park. She said Come Alive Outside program co-ordinator Sarah Walker brought a great deal of ideas to the table.

“Her knowledge of bringing a variety of games for different types of players is really good because not everybody is into the same things,” she said.

Walker said Come Alive Outside approached the ROC about partnerships and the party in the park

Organizations collaborate to offer fun event Chad Ibbotson

A fitting collaboration gave students the chance to celebrate the end of the school year with a free party, barbecue and games at Picton's skate park last week.

This year's party in the park — first provided for teens last year by the Recreation Outreach Centre (ROC) — was the beneficiary of some extra help this time around from the Come Alive Outside committee.

Organizers said both organization's have a strong mandate to give kids opportunities to get active, so the collaboration was a perfect fit.

ROC program co-ordinator Katy McIntyre said the event was such a hit last year that the organization wanted to expand the event.

“It's nice, it's the end of the school year so we can just celebrate. At the ROC our mandate is to give kids great opportunities to be outside and be active and have fun in their community,” she said.

Even before the event's official start at 4:30 last Thursday, the skate park was bustling with youth both using the skate park and enjoying music from local bands.

“It's pretty good. We intended to start only at

With PECI's graduation happening just next door at the Prince Edward Community Centre, the event was well-positioned.

“Getting through a year of high school is a big deal and we're proud as a community and this is also their space,” she said. “Anything we can do to make sure kids know that this is here at the beginning of summer is exactly what we want to do to get the community aware.”

Hall of Fame committee announces inaugural selections Eight local sporting legends make grade for fall inductions JaSon parkS

Staff writer

The Prince Edward County Sports Hall of Fame announced its inaugural induction class on Friday and what a class it is!

A total of eight sporting Prince Edward County men and women have created lasting legacies on the national or even international stage and will see their efforts enshrined at the soon to be created hall just outside the Taskforce Lounge at the Essroc Arena.

Faye Roblin, Sam Mulholland Sr., Douglas Thompson, Keith MacDonald, Earle Marvin, the late Garry Lavender, John Sibthorpe and Paul Rosebush make up the first class for the hall of fame and the hall’s president Hugh Parliament said the committee that selected these athletes and builders of sport are pleased with the initial selections.

“As we started this process, our goal was to recognize sports and sportsmen and women from the past and keep the history of sports in the county alive,” Parliament said. “In our inaugural induction class, we have athletes and people that been involved in all different sports at the highest possible level. This is a very elite group of people and we feel we have exceeded our goal.”

The first class is as diverse as it is special.

Naturally, hockey is represented as four of

inductees made significant marks in the great frozen game. But softball is represented too. So is Prince Edward County's long lost and loved sport of power boat racing.

And the sport of javelin is represented as Faye Roblin takes her rightful place in the Hall.

A provincial champion at the high school level in the mid-1980s, Roblin took her prowess from the PECI throwing pits to California State University Fresno (Commonly known as Fresno State) where she won multiple NCAA Division I meets and still holds the school record for distance.

Internationally, Roblin represented Canada at the Commonwealth Games and was an Olympic hopeful until an injury derailed her career.

Just a short drive down California Highway 99 from Fresno is Bakersfield, California where Wellington native Paul Rosebush is a beloved figure thanks to his career with the Bakersfield Condors.

Called 'Mr. Condor' by a local newspaper upon his retirement from minor league professional hockey in 2005, the former Wellington Duke is the Condors’ leader in career games played (418) and penalty minutes (900).

But with Rosebush, hockey is only half the story.

Considered by many softball watchers to be the greatest lead-off hitters of

BuilDing the hall Prince Edward County Sports Hall of Fame president Hugh Parliament stands outside the TaskForce Lounge at the Essroc Arena, the future location of the displays for leading athletes and builders.

his time, Rosebush represented Canada at the Pan Am games in 1999 where he won a gold medal and won several International Softball Congress titles with the Farm Tavern (Wisconsin) softball club along with making ISC All World Teams in man of those title runs.

To boot, Rosebush was a member of three Ontario Amateur Softball Association title winning clubs while playing minor softball in Wellington.

“I often wonder what might have happened had he grown up during a time when we had baseball here

in Wellington,” Parliament said of Rosebush.

If there was a precursor to two-sport athlete Rosebush, it's Keith MacDonald.

As hardnosed a competitor that has ever picked up a bat or a hockey stick in Prince Edward County, the longtime Hallowell councillor was a member of the 1958 Allan Cup Champion Belleville McFarlands hockey club and toured with the club the next year as they successfully represented Canada at the 1959 World Hockey Championships.

Like Rosebush, the action didn't stop for MacDonald when the ice left

the rink.

A fierce competitor on the diamond, MacDonald played both baseball and softball for provincial championship teams and later officiated hockey games when his playing days were behind him.

A contemporary of MacDonald is Mulholland.

A native of Kingston, Mulholland came to Prince Edward County after he had played minor pro hockey all over the United States in the 1950s including a stint in Indianapolis where the left winger was a teammate of the late Hockey Hall of Fame goaltender

Terry Sawchuk.

Settling in Picton after his professional hockey career, Mulholland played for the local senior club and coached junior and intermediate clubs.

About the time Mulholland was suiting up for the Picton McFarlands, Doug Thompson was on his way to becoming a bright shining star in the world of powerboat racing.

Thompson collaborated with the late Bill Wanamaker, racing B-Alky (350cc) class outboards internationally from the late 1950's to the early 1970s and was, at one time, the record holder in the 350 cc class.

Another inductee with deep roots in powerboat racing is John Sibthorpe.

Sibthorpe was racer of outboard utility class boats all over North America but truly made his mark through the organization of powerboat races locally.

A 'mover and shaker' in every sense of the term when it came to organizing power boat racing events, Sibthorpe was the main force behind Picton's Gold Cup races for decades.

The origin of those infamous races date back to a time when Prince Edward County needed just a handful of policemen to serve and protect its citizens and one of those men as County constable Earle Marvin.

Serving in Wellington, Marvin was a crack shot and wound up winning a Canadian senior trap shooting championship along with several provincial titles in the mid 1960s.

Copperheads close gap at top of County Men’s Fastball League with road win Whitepine still atop standings JaSonparkS

YOUR SPACE!

A win by the visiting Roblin's Family Plumbing Copperheads (6-3-1, 13 points) over Danford Contracting (4-5, eight points) in Frankford Tuesday night helped keep the plumbers within a point of league leading Whitepine Watershed (7-2, 14 points) in County Men's Fastball League play.

Making their only stop in Frankford this season, the Copperheads got seven shutout innings from lefty Wil Claus who kept the opposition guessing with his repertoire of drop balls, up shoots and curves.

Claus notched 17 punch outs in his seven innings of work.

Copperhead second baseman Adam Smith played a big part in the win, driving in the game winning run with a single and then coming around to score an insurance run in the same inning.

The damage could have been worse for the Danford crew as Chris Roblin and Chris Norman both socked triples but were stranded on third base as subsequent batters were unable to knock them in.

It should be noted Roblin made a game saving throw late, gunning down a potential Danford run at the plate with a pair of runners on base behind the exterminated Frankford

base runner.

The other game on the league slate had the Ameliasburgh A's (2-4-2, six points) hosting Beatty Seeds (2-6-1, five points) in a battle for the league basement, however the rains washed out the action at the Ameliasburgh Fairgrounds.

Last week, it was the A's and Copperheads hooking up in Picton for a dandy that was too close to call and went into the books as a 3-3 draw.

Fireballer Ian Wallwork, who will pitch later this summer in the ISC World Championships in Midland, Michigan for the Niagara Snappers, was cruising with a 3-1 in the last of the seventh inning when Barkley Van Hecke

and Paul Norman sparked a rally that was aided by a controversial play at third base.

Both would come around to score and that allowed the Copperheads to bag a single but valuable point.

In the early game, Adam Danford was using his drop ball to perfection to fool the Terra Vista Rockies (3-4-2, eight points) as the Frankford club picked up a 5-1 decision over the Rox. Elsewhere, Nick Brooks was the pitcher of record for Whitepine as they outlasted Beatty Seeds 8-6.

Tonight, Ameliasburgh hosts Danford at 8:30 while Whitepine Watershed hosts Terra Vista (7 p.m.) and Roblin's (8:30 p.m.) on the Tyendinaga Territory.

Hospital foundation stages inaugural information meeting

Jason Parks

Staff writer

A view into the operations of the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation (PECMHF) was offered Thursday as the local group which fundraises for equipment for the local hospital held its inaugural public information meeting.

Designed as a mechanism to update the public on the activities of the past year of PECMHF (in essence, the new donor wall and the digital mammography campaign), reports concerning the foundation's investments and financial statement were presented.

But perhaps most importantly, updates by Quinte Health Care senior administration were a part of meeting and provided a look into how the heads of the local hospital see its progression as the landscape of healthcare in Ontario begins to shift and transform.

Quinte Health Care

(QHC) president and chief executive officer Mary Clare Egberts thanked the Foundation members and staff for all their hard work over the years and wished them much success in the years to come.

Egberts said her team is excited about the potential for the new hospital that will be created in partnership with the Prince Edward Family Health Team and other community care partners.

“We have achieved a really great model that we are very proud to present to the capital branch department of the Ministry and the South East Local Hospital Integration Network,” Egberts said.

“I've been keeping (health minister Deb Matthews) up to date on how we are moving forward with this business case because this is a really unique way of developing healthcare in our province and I still believe (PECMH) has the opportunity to be that wonderful show site and that model for the province on how it can work when primary care works closely with the hospital.”

Currently the plan is waiting approval at the LHIN

level but Egberts hopes the process will be moved along quickly.

“We've got tough economic times ahead and how long will it be until we can actually get past the planning phase and get building approval is hard to tell but I think we have something unique and its piqued the ministry's interest so we hope that will pull us ahead of many other projects that are on a very long list,” she said. “QHC will have to convince the ministry that the community can come up with the local share and its a sizable share, but going after the digital mammography unit, I think that will stead you very well for raising funds for the new hospital.”

PECMHF executive director Anna Marie Ferguson said the campaign to raise the $750,000 for the digital mammography unit currently sat at just over $500,000 and the ultrasound component had already been purchased.

We are still short of our goal but we have a number of initiatives planned that will push us over the top very

soon,” Ferguson said, adding thanks were in order to QHC to allow the foundation to pursue procurement of the new equipment that will replace obsolete machinery that's almost two decades old.

“Thanks for recognizing the importance of this machine to PECMH,” “It was very good, good news for our hospital.”

While details on this weekend's Summeraid fundraiser at Sandbanks Villages near Cherry Valley haven't been announced, it was hoped the event would raise close to $10,000 for the digital mammography campaign.

Upcoming PECMHF events include the third annual on air for healthcare radioathon to be held on Aug. 30 on various Quinte radio stations.

As, the foundation will be hosting the Toronto Welsh Male Voice Choir at the Regent Theatre on Saturday, Sept. 22.

Tickets are $40 and come with a charitable receipt. As well, county songstress Jeanette Arsenault will preform as will the fiddling Dr. Josh Colby.

comes as close to a slam dunk as their can be in this process, although Parliament agrees that if the big man with the bigger heart was still watching hockey games from his perch at the new DukeDome, he would likely defer or decline any such recognition.

“Garry would be honoured but he himself would probably think he hadn't done enough to deserve it,” Parliament said of his late friend. “But if you've lived in this county long enough, you know he is as deserving as anyone.”

Aside from starting and operating what has been called the Green Bay Packers of Canadian Junior A

hockey, Lavender was the driving force behind the first part of the Wellington Ball Diamond.

“If you were involved in OASA, he was the guy you went to. He was a minor hockey convener. He was behind refereeing and umpiring here and he also refereed lacrosse in the area. He was behind it all... and I don't think people know the number of kids he helped through minor hockey. He had used skates at the store and he would offer them to the kid and say “Why don't you try these skates?” and the skates would go out the door and they wouldn't come back and that was

fine with Garry.”

Lavender and the rest of the 2012 Sports Hall of Fame inductees will be honoured on Oct. 27 with a gala reception at the Highline Hall at the Wellington and District Community Centre.

Small business services strengthened Cameron named honourary member

Business planning, training and mentoring may be more accessible to small businesses in the future as the municipality has announced its community development department will partner with the Ontario Ministry of Economic Development and Innovation and the City of Belleville to improve services locally through the Small Business Centre.

In order to increase access to the services and increase services available locally, Sandy Abbott will provide free business counselling services one day per week in the county. The service has been offered since June 18.

Abbott will provide business planning and business plan development, training, seminars and information sessions, market research and funding resources and regulatory guidance on taxes, permits and licensing.

There will also be internet and computer access and networking opportunities.

The Small Business Centre (SBC) is designed to help entrepreneurs and small businesses in Belleville, Quinte West, Hastings and Prince Edward Counties start and grow their business. The centre is part of a network of 57 Small Business Enterprise Centres across the province

and is funded by the economic development ministry in partnership with municipalities.

The Prince Edward County Chamber of Tourism and Commerce recently estimated that about 2,500 small businesses are operating in the municipality.

Mayor Peter Mertens said small business play an essential part of the municipality's economy and as such they need to be assisted in any way possible.

“In light of the tremendous impact small businesses have on our economy, and the support they may need to assist in their attraction, retention, and expansion, it is important for the range of services provided by the SBC to be more readily available in the county,” Mertens said.

“This regional partnership demonstrates successful collaboration between Prince Edward County, the City of Belleville and the Province of Ontario.”

Business services at the SBC office in Belleville are available Monday to Friday, but Abbott will be made available to meet with businesses in the county every Tuesday. Consultations can be scheduled by calling 613476-4240, 1-877-722-2238, or by email sandy@smallbusinessctr.com.

The move also helps the Community Development Department achieve one of its initial objectives set by council, which called for a focus on sustainable jobs that are well matched to employment needs and opportunities, and supporting the

John Cameron might not have known what he was getting into when he came to Picton for work in 1974 and had a conversation with Barney Hepburn about Rotary.

Over the next 38 years, however, he was all in, and for that the Rotary Club of Picton saluted him with an honourary membership at its past presidents’ night last Tuesday at Waring Hall.

Cameron joined Rotary that first year and despite traveling back and forth to Kingston was an active member even before he settled permanently here.

In 1982 and 1983, he served as president of the club and for many years was secretary, a position he served with great honour and expertise according to presenter Mark Davis.

“When John Clarke said you were going to do something, you damned well did it too,” he said.

Cameron is also very active in his church, St. Andrew’s Presbyterian and was instrumental in starting Picton’s pipe and drum band.

Looking back, he told his fellow Rotarians that he’s happy he came to the county and got involved.

“The county’s been very good to me and to our family and I’m darn happy to have

this honourary membership.

The past presidents’ night also featured a number of other award highlights, including the prestigious Hepburn Trophy for the Rotarian of the year.

This time around, president Robert Quaiff indicated the trophy, which was donated by Barney Hepburn in 1977 in memory of his father James, a former speaker of the Ontario legislature and presented annually, went to a Rotarian who “has probably spent more time in meetings than any other board member” and “spent countless

hours trying to right the ship of our finances” in Susan Ladoucer.

The club also handed out several awards on behalf of the Rotary Foundation, which the club’s liaison Scott Lavender said is doing well in its fight against polio, limiting the disease to 78 cases around the world in comparison to 650 a year ago.

Lavender presented club members Marion Hughes and Robert Bird with Paul Harris Fellowships for contributing in excess of US$1,000 to the foundation in their lifetime. Jim Wait was also honoured with his second Paul Harris Fellowship for his giving.

Another foundation award came as Lavender recognized a pair of benefactors to the Rotary Permanent Fund, which uses its interest to help those in need. Benefactors are those who have given US$1,000 directly to that fund. Andy and Pronica Janikowksi were presented with special pins to mark their donation efforts.

county profile as an attractive economic climate with business opportunities.

Community development co-ordinator Debra Williams said with so many small business in the county it was important to have a dedicated person working here. “[Having] 2,500 employed in small business has a huge impact on our economy and we felt because of council's objectives that they set for community development that this would be something that was very approachable and very worthwhile to do,” she said.

Williams said there is no financial commitment from the municipality to provide the service with the ministry providing the funding for Abbott's wages.

She said the improved service could encourage entrepreneurs to start new businesses, but she the focus will be to improve existing small businesses.

“They need to have supports in place to continue to be in business. That's part of what [Abbott's] job is going to be, is to look at what needs those people have,” Williams said.

She said Abbot will also look to bring together organizations like the chamber of tourism and commerce and business improvement associations to address the needs of local businesses.

“In this way with [Abbott], we're going to have all those groups together being able to support those small businesses,” Williams said.

Problems with Norway maples with variegated leaves

Recently I met a couple who had a problem with the leaves dying back near the top of their Norway maples. They had purchased two of these trees because of their lovely variegated leaves.

The trees were relatively new to their property and my first thought, given the dryness of the spring, was that they were not receiving enough water. Alternatively, there was the possibility that the warm period in March could have triggered some premature leaf development that would have been shocked by the frosts and cool weather in April.

On checking into reliable sources on the Internet, these possibilities appeared to be some of the most likely causes. These trees do best with regular irrigation and do not do well with late frosts. While we did not have the latter, we did have an early warm spring in March followed by intermittent frosts.

Drowning is another

possibility. This occurs in areas with poor drainage which can be caused by compacted soils, heavy clay soils or underground water in the area. The visible results occur in the leaves which turn brown and then die.

Drainage can be improved by using trenching to allow run off or loos-

ening the soil for the same purpose. If these do not work, or are not possible to use for other reasons, the tree can be saved if it can be moved to a dryer location.

These trees do require water but are not suitable for wet locations.

Our geographical area is considered sub-optimal for these trees due to high winds and lack of consistent rainfall as neither condition is optimal for regular Norway maples, the well known red leafed varieties (â&#x20AC;&#x153;crimson kingâ&#x20AC;?) or the gradually increasing varieties with variegated leaves. The advantage of being a sub-optimal area is that these trees are unlikely to become invasive and damaging as they have become in natural wooded areas in the U.S. where they are forcing out natural species.

To thrive, these trees would be best planted in an area that is sheltered from our high winds and close to a reliable source of water so

that they can be regularly irrigated when the county experiences dry periods.

They can tolerate a wide variety of soils and both sun and part shade conditions although they will grow more slowly in part shade. The trees themselves provide dense shade when fully grown and it is difficult to grow anything under them.

These maples, that are bred to have variegated or red leaves, need to be monitored to prevent a reversion to green leaves. Green leaves are better processors of chlorophyll which is why these trees may revert.

Twigs and branches with green leaves should be removed.

Variegated trees may begin with green leaves in the early spring which become variegated as the warm weather continues.

In this case, removal of green leaves should begin only once all of the leaves have had sufficient time to change colour.

Health & Wellness

Norway maples are generally resistant to insects and diseases. Those that are most likely to affect them are generally not be serious. For example, most are prone to tar spot which appears as black spots on leaves and are at their worst in extremely wet weather but this does not create problems for the tree.

The leaves can also get scald if the tree is over pruned.

Overall Norway maples can provide a pleasing shade tree in all its varieties if carefully located and watered during dry periods.

THURSDAY, JULY 5, 2012 f RE/7

THE PICTON GAZETTE

The value of a backyard deck Avid A popular springtime project for homeowners is building a new deck. If a backyard deck is on your “to do” list, be prepared to choose from a seemingly endless list of designs, materials and methods for construction.

To help you with your deck project, the Ontario Real Estate Association and your local Realtor offer the following tips.

One of your first choices will be to determine if you are going to build it yourself or hire a contractor to do the work.

This will depend on how elaborate your plans are and how comfortable you are with the

work. Whether you tackle it yourself or bring in the professionals, take time to plan out your project and be sure to check local building regulations to see if you will need a permit.

Ask yourself what you want to get out of this new deck and then try to coordinate your wish list with your budget. For example, your new deck could be as simple as building a platform for your lawn chairs or as complicated as a multi-level, multifunctional outdoor entertainment area.

Next, think about where your deck will be situated. Do

you need to have some built-in protection from wind or excessive sunshine? For example, south-facing decks tend to get the most sun. If you don’t have a lot of shade trees, this may limit your outdoor activity during very hot days. You can counter this by having a retractable canopy or some overhead lattice installed to block or filter sunlight.

A visit to your local building supply store will give you plenty of design ideas as well as a number of options for building materials. The most common material for deck building is pressure-treated lumber because of its durability and resistance to rot. Pressure-treated is also the more economical choice. Cedar is attractive and desirable, but costs quite a bit

more. There are also new composite materials that, although very pricey, are guaranteed to last a lifetime. Your material selection will depend on your needs and your budget.

Hiring a contractor

If you plan to hire a contractor, start by looking for those that specialize in deck building.

A good source of referrals may be a family member, friend, or neighbour who has had similar work done. Other sources are your local home builders and renovators associations; local building supply stores; your local building department and contractors’ web sites.

Also, be sure to get a detailed written contract between you and the contractor you hire no matter how big or small the

JimWait Sales Rep.

Q u i n t e L t d . B r o k e ra g e

project. A contract spells out the responsibilities and rights of both parties and ensures there is a clear record of the agreement between you and the contractor.

Adding value to your home

The benefit of adding a beautiful deck to your backyard is two-fold: you and your family get to enjoy it, and it also increases the value of your home.

By creating an oasis in your own backyard, your house will be more appealing to prospective buyers when the time comes to sell. For more home buying and selling tips, visit www.howrealtorshelp.ca.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Once the excitement of an event wears off, Libra, you may be left floundering for a little while. Don't wallow in boredom. Get started on a new project.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Sometimes much more can be said by remaining quiet that actually speaking, Scorpio. Keep this in mind when you are socializing with new people.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 It can sometimes feel lonely at the top, Sagittarius. Now that you've acquired many of the things you wanted, the resulting feelings may not be what you thought.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Now may be the time to get serious about your efforts to find a new job, Capricorn.

Start doing the legwork and get your name out to new people as much as you can.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Although you're a do-it-yourself person by nature, Aquarius, sometimes letting someone get the job done frees you up for more important projects. You also get a needed break.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, you can't seem to keep your mind on the thing at hand. Your wandering thoughts may put you in tune with a better idea.

— Horoscopes —

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, the week may begin a little off-kilter, but you'll find that by Wednesday or Thursday, things turn around significantly. A couple of opportunities for socialization arise.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Take inventory of your life this week, Taurus, and make the necessary tweaks to align you with your primary goals. Take a cue from someone organized.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you're inspired to do something creative. Narrow down the possibilities. Maybe you want to paint indoors or take on a new craft hobby. Either way you'll find success.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Even the most organized people can get tripped up once in a while, Cancer. This week you may be unable to keep track of things. Keep your cool, and you will get it under control.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Take control of a situation that arises, Leo, because right now it seems no one else is capable of handling the situation. You may prove to be an excellent leader.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Influential people will be moving in your social circles, Virgo. Failure to introduce yourself and network could lead to setbacks in your employment goals.
