It was another uplifting year for Relay For Life in Prince Edward County. In the five years since its inception, Relay events have raised more than $1 million for the Canadian Cancer Society to support those living with the disease as well as going toward critical research initiatives. On Saturday morning organizers of Prince Edward County's Relay revealed the event's initial $172,552 total raised helped the Cancer Society reach a total of $1,012,000 over five years. HastingsPrince Edward Canadian Cancer Society fundraising co-ordinator Matthew Del Grosso said the weather held out and made for a memorable event. “It was an awesome night,” he said. “We're really happy with the results, we raised a lot of money.” Del Grosso said he's proud of the organizing committee who he said worked long and hard to make the event the success it was. He said it was a very fulfilling experience. “To be able to raise $172,000 in a night is something I'm really proud of. The committee, and cancer fighters throughout the country, are going to benefit from their hard work,” he said. Del Grosso said he expects the total to grow as more donations flood in throughout the coming weeks. “We have more coming in, so we're going to continue to fundraise and get corporate matching,” he said. “We want people to look into that at their place of work, if they do have a corporate matching (program) or matching for their volunteer involvement.” A total of 51 teams and 510 people took part in the event, and 79 took part in the survivor lap. Among them was five-year-old Ella Mulder of Bloomfield who rang the Fight Back bell to kick off the relay. Del Grosso said Relay events are a critical for the Canadian Cancer Society. “Locally we have a budget of $1.175 million

and the Relay for Life accounts for $587,000 of that budget, so it is the biggest piece of our pie,” he said. “It's very important to the Canadian Cancer Society as a whole, it's our largest fundraiser and without these kind of funds we can't support the very expensive research that's happening.” Queen's University PhD student Victoria Hoskin is among those conducting such research. Hoskin shared her experiences with Relay For Life participants on Friday evening and spoke of the important role the Canadian Cancer Society plays in it. “Over the past several years cancer research has led to some amazing discoveries — from basic discoveries that help us understand the underlying biology of cancer, to the clinical trials that aid in the development of new and better cancer treatments,” she said. She said her research focuses on identifying which breast cancer

Picton United Church presents

The board and volunteers working to make 99.3 County FM a reality have a vision for how they’ll set up their studios for a fall launch. They also are 65 per cent of the way to achieving their fundraising goal of $150,000 less than six months after the Canadian Radio-television Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) approved their licence to broadcast. Now, they’re ready to reach out to individuals in the community for one very important piece of the puzzle — to raise the antenna. On Tuesday, the station launched a $9,993 campaign on the crowdfunding web site www.indiegogo.com, which offers enticements for donations toward the cause. “People can give small

amounts of money with the goal of achieving something substantial,” said Ryan Aldred, co-chair of the committee with Lyndsay Richmond. “We’re offering unique county experiences to go along with some neat experiences we’ll be offering.” On the low end of the scale, supporters can receive a County FM sticker or request a song for $5. The packages can escalate with an on-air marriage proposal, green fees at Picton, or a lunch for four at the County Cider Company for $100, for example. A stay and meal at Angeline’s, lessons at West Lake Wakeboard School, accommodation at La Vie A La Campaign, Festival Players tickets, and Rosehall Run tastings are also offered. At the high end, one person can flip the switch to turn on the station for the first time for $993, or a host of $500 prizes like co-hosting a show from home, being the first person interviewed on air, having lunch with board member and music industry icon Bernie Finkelstein, a handmade quilt by Deb Simpson, or a five-year tasting for 12 at Exultet Estates. Many local sponsors have already put forward packages in support of the station and Aldred said others are joining daily. The biggest factor, he said, has been the community’s generosity. “These are experiences they’ll get nowhere else and they’ve all been donated. These aren’t items we’ve purchased for a nominal fee and sold, all the money is going right to the campaign.” To see the packages avail-

able for crowdfunding rewards, please visit the web site tinyurl.com/m65hu2w. Richmond said with a summer launch, the station is hoping to reach beyond just county residents in order to sell its viability to share the area’s news and culture. “We’re looking for people who come here as visitors and return ad visitors,” she said. “By launching this time of year, we’re getting people who are just coming to the area.” With the opportunity for bigger donations available, Aldred said he understood that people might be wondering what a $1 or $5 donation might do and if it would really matter. He said they all will help. “When we’re going to the provincial or federal government, for example, and looking for them to get involved, if we can say $3,000 people in the county have donated, that makes it much more likely they’ll look at it and say it has some life to it.” Aldred said he feels the campaign is coming at the right time as the momentum is starting to gain speed toward going on the air . “We’re approaching the tipping point where we’re able to say this is absolutely going to happen,” he said. General manager J.J. Johnston added his support for the crowdfunding campaign noting it’s “very cool and exciting,” and “a whole different concept.” A longtime radio executive, Johnston said he really likes the way the community is wrapped up in the campaign.

Great Canadian Cheese Festival increases its attendance by about 1,000 over 2013 Expanded artisan food and wine offerings give guests more to see Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

An influx of artisan foods and wine helped make the fourth Great Canadian Cheese Festival the biggest yet. The two-day event held in Picton's Crystal Palace boasted dozens of different cheese makers and more than 100 different vendors this year. Event director Georgs Kolesnikovs said initial estimates pegged this year's attendance at approximately 4,000 over Saturday and Sunday. Kolesnikovs said last year the event attracted more than 3,000 to Picton. “This is our fourth year and this has been, in many ways, the best cheese festival we've produced and it certainly is the biggest,” he said. “Our number of exhibitors has grown to 130 from 58 four years ago, that includes 36 cheese producers from Nova Scotia to British Columbia.” Kolesnikovs said the area that saw the most growth in that time is artisan foods with vendors bringing everything from pickles to cookies to the ex-

hibition. The growth prompted the creation of an artisan food-specific booth for this year's festival, he said. “There's a real growth in artisan foods,” he said, rhyming off a list that also includes caviar, salmon, and jams. “(With) the range of artisan foods we have

here, I wish I had three days just to walk around and taste.” He attributed the increase in artisan food exhibitors to the work of exhibitor co-ordinator Peta Shelton. He said Shelton's work helped expand the ar-

tisan food offerings from about 18 booths a few years ago to close to 60 booths this weekend. Kolesnikovs said social media has played an instrumental role in the success of the event. He said in the early days of the festival or-

Facebook and Twitter are becoming the main point of contact with potential visitors. He said the market for the cheese festival isn't just niche, but a narrow niche and he said social media is the perfect medium. “I don't need to be on the radio talking to 100,000 people in Toronto or Ottawa or Belleville,” he said. “I need to be in a couple of places on the web where there are a couple of thousand foodies I can reach.” Kolesnikovs said the municipality came on board as a gold sponsor for the event this year and said improved co-ordination at the County level helped make the event as successful as it was. “Today the whole fairgrounds operation is much more professional than it was in the early years,” he said. “It makes our job a lot easier and a lot more fun.” Kolesnikovs said the success of the festival is a testament to those who work behind the scenes to make it happen.

Festival Players opens box office for eighth season Partners offer chance to bring more shows to local venues adam BramBurger

Staff writer

For a fourth consecutive years, the Festival Players of Prince Edward County has opened its box office at Books & Company. General manager Julianne Snepsts says patrons enjoy the convenience of visiting the book shop to get their tickets while taking in the cuisine at Miss Lilly’s Cafe and picking up a treasured book. Snepsts said those patrons will find a packed schedule with lots of offerings organized by artistic director Sarah Phillips for their indulgence this year. “With great thanks to our sponsors and partner businesses, Festival Players is

able to offer more performance, more variety, new and enhanced experiences for our audiences and more accessibility to theatre all through the county,” she said. The experience starts with Huff Estates, again the presenting sponsor of the company’s season. This year, Huff has also signed on as a venue partner where it will hold the Sunday Series at Huff Estates featuring six different individual perform-

ances in July and August. Rosehall Run will be back as a venue sponsor for a fourth year with its grand tent productions as this time, Dave Carley’s Test Drive will be directed by Phillips and staged there from Aug. 5-24. The popular Mt. Tabor stage will also be incorporated this year with Chris Earle’s Radio :30, directed by Shari Hollett staged between July 22 and Aug. 2 with support from Royal Lepage’s

Libby Crombie. The show’s theme highlights a special partnership with 99.3 County FM also. “Following each production, there will be a live recording with a local storyteller to be aired in the fall,” Snepsts said. “We’re really thrilled to create some of first content that will hits its airwaves in the fall.” The Festival Players Young Company, meanwhile, will bring productions of David S. Craig’s All For Beaver Hats! directed by Eliza-Jane Scott to Campbell’s Orchards, County museums, Sandbanks Summer Village, and Fifth Town Artisan Cheese. Sandbanks Summer Village has stepped up to help with “pay what you can performances” for all three recurring shows, while Essroc will sponsor free tickets to All For Beaver Hats! for families in need. Snepsts added Festival Players has also partnered with several local chefs and beverage companies, as well as the Picnic food truck, which will be on site at all performances, to promote county cuisine this season. Many other sponsors also contribute behind the scenes.

Staff writer

Prince Edward Hospice supporters let their hair down in support of the organization on Saturday night. Prince Edward Community Theatre presented a Hospice Dance Party at Highline Hall in the Wellington and District Community Centre with special guests Miss Emily (Fennell) and Chris Koster. The event also saw the return of band Messenger featuring John de Vries, Bryson Dockrill, Eric Fry, Steve Wilson, and Lynn Fennell. Prince Edward Community Theatre artistic director and founder Fennell said there was no goal other than to support a worthy community cause. “We wanted to do something for an agency that supports our community because Prince Edward Community Theatre is a community-minded organization,” said Fennell. “We count on the community's support to survive so I

think it behooves us to do something in return.” Fennell said he hopes the organization can do more events to support community groups in the future. He said Messenger would also be playing at an event in support of the Recreation Outreach Centre in December. Before Saturday, the group last played together on New Year's Eve 1984. Fennell said the lineup features four of the original six — Fennell, de Vries, Fry, and Wilson. “We got back together a year ago and rehearsed and thought it might be fun to do a gig or two,” he said. The event also featured a raffle for a gift package including dinner, theatre, and a case of Huff Estates wine. Those in attendance were treated to a showcase of music from Miss Emily's new CD “Rise.” She said it's important to give back to groups like Hospice. “My family are longtime supporters of Hospice and it's obviously an important cause,” she said. “Even

though I don't live in the community anymore I'm still very closely tied to the community because all my family is here.” She said she has received a lot of support from Prince Edward County and her community of followers and believes in paying that forward. “In an industry like music, it's a wonderful cycle of people supporting the artist and the artist supporting the people,” she said. “It should always work in that nice give and take and that's why it's important to me.” Rise was released at a launch party in Kingston on May 30. She said more than 400 people came out to show their support. “People from my community showed up to support me from Prince Edward County, Kingston, people came from Ottawa, Burlington and all over,” she said. “That was a community supporting me and here I am this weekend and I get to do something to support the community.”

PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY

Looking back in the

Picton Gazette 90 years ago — 1924

n Picton resident George L. Hubbs told the local board of education that its plan to purchase the Babbitt property on Mary Street to create a proper Kindergarten would put school property on three sides of his property, thus decreasing its value. He indicated he’d seek $2,000 in redress if the board moved ahead with the annex. n School trustee John A. Maher said he felt it was time that all teaching staff be asked to take a 10-per-cent pay cut if they wished to continue teaching in the town. None of the other board member picked up on his suggestion, so the idea was never taken to a formal vote. n Rev. Malcolm Macgillivray, the past moderator of the Presbyterian General Assembly visited the Bay of Quinte Methodist Conference to talk about a proposed union between the two churches. It was Macgillivray’s position that the union could not be stopped and was in the best interests of advancing the goals of Christianity throughout Canada.

70 years ago — 1944

n The Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment was succeeding in its operations in Italy, according to letters home from an unidentified officer that were supplied to the Gazette. The officer talked of a change in the psychology of the Germans they were fighting to a group that tried to avoid conflict and avoid shellings. He reported many of the Nazi soldiers captured as prisoners of war were pasty and white from having not been out in the sun for a long time. n Town council called on Picton police to enforce its bylaws completely for traffic offences and since the decree, more than 69 people were given $2 tickets, including fine and court costs. Rural residents protested not being able to stop on the streets while securing items from shopping trips into Picton. n Two elderly women lost their lives in a Main Street house fire during the early morning hours. A passenger in a passing taxing smelled smoke at 4:30 a.m. and the driver visited police following his run. The siren was sounded too late to save the women. The cause was unknown.

60 years ago — 1954 n Tenders were put out to build 100 more residential housing units for service and civilian personnel of the Picton artillery station. The rental houses would be owned by the Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation and built on town services. n Two 250-seat chapels, one for Protestants and one for Roman Catholics, were to be built at Picton Heights.

20 years ago — 1994

n Ontario PC leader Mike Harris brought his “Common Sense Revolution” to Picton as he spoke at a party fundraiser. Harris spoke about streamlining the regulatory process, cutting back the number of seats at Queen’s Park, and welfare reform. Harris was expected to arrive at 6:30 p.m. but didn’t make it until after 9 due to a vote on same-sex marriage legislation that day. n Picton native Grant Stewart earned the Governor General’s Medal for highest academic standing at Loyalist College.

Red sky in the morning, sailors take warning

For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by weather. One of the first things I do when I get up every morning is download the weather for the next several days from the Internet. I access two reliable weather sites, and combine the data into one report. This I print off and hang on the refrigerator in the kitchen and above my work station. I have a need to know what the weather is going to be, so I can plan my activities accordingly. Much of this interest in weather comes from my past life on a farm, when the weather for the day played an important role in determining whether we should be drawing in hay, or conversely, sticking close to the barn. If thunderstorms were in the forecast, then we really didn’t want to be in the south forty. We learned to read cloud formations, what they meant and generally concluded that often they were more reliable than the weather report itself. I still check out the clouds, but over the years, I have sort of lost my touch. Several years ago, I was one of the first people in the region to spot a most unusual cloud formation in the sky. I became alarmed and phoned the radio station and the newspapers, but couldn’t seem to generate much concern or

OUTDOOR RAMBLES TERRY SPRAGUE

excitement. But the clouds did excite me, as I remember friends of ours who went through the devastating Barrie tornado in 1985, describing these same clouds. The clouds in question were called mammatus clouds, and I have seen them only a few times since, and then, only in small patches, and always during the presence of volatile weather. For lack of a better description, the sky above resembles a large heavy sheet of dark bubble plastic, symmetrically arranged pouch-like clouds hanging downward, with the joints appearing as light coloured membranes where sunlight has been able to filter through. Why the peculiar shape? Think of it as convec-

tion in reverse. Unstable air is being forced downward, rather than upward, resulting from moisture and heat flowing out from a cumulonimbus anvil over the neighbouring undisturbed air. That’s the huge, towering cauliflower cloud formations we often see during periods of really disturbing weather systems. Two hundred years ago, people seldom paid any attention to clouds, or understood what they meant. Clouds had no names and were nothing more than “essences” floating in the sky. As time went on, some people began paying attention to cloud formations, relating them to weather that these clouds would ultimately bring. Soon, clouds took on names, eventually assuming three basic groups - cumulus, stratus and cirrus. From these three main cloud families developed “sub-species” for lack of a better term. Sometimes though, even the best read skies can generate surprises. On a kayaking trip one early summer day, the sky was a dazzling blue with not a wisp of cloud to be seen anywhere. Even the weather report was promising. The water was as smooth as silk, and one person even commented on my “ability” to pick the weather for these trips. As we ate lunch on a

small island in the middle of this remote lake, a few innocent wisps of grey appeared on the horizon and as we started our hour paddle back to our vehicles, distant thunder signalled what started out as a passing storm that would easily skirt by us. Half-way back, the wind changed and approached gale force, white caps formed and we became surrounded by fierce lightning, torrential rain and even some hail. As we approached the boat ramp some 30 minutes later, the sun came out. The skies fooled even me this time, or I managed to miss something having been out of practice for so many years. So, which is the best method, in this day of computers and Doppler radar? Hints from Nature itself, or a trained meteorologist? Perhaps the kayakers I had with me that day won’t agree, but once attuned to the sky, the air, and animal behaviour, it is possible to predict the weather quite reliably. “Rainbow in the morning, need for a warning.” For more information on today’s topic, please e-mail tsprague@kos.net or phone 613 848-4549.

Police arrest impaired drivers in Picton, Consecon on Saturday

On Saturday, officers with the Prince Edward OPP detachment were called to a single motor vehicle accident on County Rd. 22 south of Picton. Upon arrival, police investigated and noticed the vehicle had left the roadway and hit a tree. The female driver appeared to have been consuming alcohol. Police charged a 49-yearold Oshawa woman with operating her vehicle while impaired and operation with over 80 mg blood/alcohol content contrary to the Section 253 of the Criminal Code of Canada.

The woman was not injured and was later released from police custody on a promise to appear in Picton court June 25.

DRIVER ATTEMPTS TO AVOID RIDE CHECK

Early Saturday morning, police were conducting a RIDE check in the village of Consecon. Officers observed a vehicle attempting to avoid the checkpoint and soon managed to stop the vehicle on Mill Street. A 31-year-old county female was arrested

for operating while impaired and operating with over 80 mg blood/alcohol content contrary to section 253 of the Criminal Code of Canada. The accused was later released from police custody on a promise to appear in Picton court June 25.

AVOID ANIMALS

OPP statistics suggest that more than 10,000 drivers a year become involved in collisions with wildlife per year and in the past five years, some 19 people have died as a result of those collisions.

The OPP is reminding drivers to take precautions to scan the road ahead from shoulder to shoulder, watch speed at night and avoid driving after dark if possible. Those who do encounter animals standing at or crossing the road are reminded to break firmly or stop if it is safe to do so. Swerving to avoid hitting a wild animal may cause a loss of control and a more dangerous accident. Also, drivers should not direct their full attention to the animal when avoiding it. -Staff

Following today’s ballots, electoral reform should be examined in Ontario

ONTARIO residents were to cast their ballots today to elect a government to lead the province, ideally, for longer than the two-and-a-half years the last Liberal minority managed to stay in power with the help of the NDP or alternatively the Progressive Conservatives. When all is said and done come 9 p.m. it will be interesting to see where the counts will stand with respect to the number of voters who came to the polls and the number who spoiled their ballots because they couldn’t stomach any of the choices they had been presented with on their ballot. A study released by polling firm Abacus Data on Tuesday showed that of the eligible voters surveyed, some 50 per cent said they weren’t satisfied with any choice presented to them. Would those people stay away, lowering the legitimacy of parties and candidates who are elected? Would they hold their noses and vote strategically for an option they believe to be the lesser of unacceptable choices? Would they simply vote for the personality they like best rather than the party? That will no doubt be a popular series of questions for the pundits tonight and hopefully be a sobering dose of reality for those who do find their way to Queen’s Park with a less-than-enthusiastic mandate to govern moving forward. There are certainly some who would take the time to suggest that data should encourage a call for reforming Ontario’s first-past-the-poll electoral system to create something more sophisticated. A number would argue that vote-splitting should not give seats to a party that may be third choice on a majority of ballots. There are others who think it’s foolish that a third-place party overall should hold any position of power or kingmaker in the realm of a minority parliament when it clearly didn’t receive as many votes as were cast for either of the other alternatives in the last election. Neither paints a true picture of the will of the electorate, but indeed, that’s the system in place today. Some proponents for electoral reform would prefer a system of proportional representation, where each party receives seats based on the percentage of the popular vote they receive. That type of ballot would probably represent varied political beliefs of voters better than the current system, but it also has its share of flaws — among the greatest being geography. How would parties divvy up their seats and what guarantee is there for regional representation? What, too, of the strong individual candidate who serves his or her constituents well regardless of party banner and bucks the trend to earn votes, but ultimately loses a seat to someone more apt to toe the party line living in an entirely different region? Perhaps a weighted system would work, offering multiple seats in a geographic district depending on the vote in that area. The trick there would be to keep the districts manageable and to not increase the size of the legislature to become unmanageable, nor spread the salaries out too far to discourage good candidates. There doesn’t seem to be any logical way to move away from partisan politics back toward regional representation — in fact, it’s surprising parties haven’t worked their way into municipal politics more. It’s time to at least look at options, however, to make the system more workable with the state of Canada’s political parties. Finding a way to make representation proportionate to voting percentage, while maintaining local representation would be a positive step. Perhaps radical steps like direct election of all cabinet posts and individual recall would also work. A better system should lead to better governance and increased faith.

Jake Differ kicks off library’s summer reading program

Award-winning children’s entertainer Jake Differ will be kicking off the TD Summer Reading Program for the County of Prince Edward Public Library on Saturday, June 28 at 11 a.m. at the Picton branch library. “We had Jake Differ visit us to perform a few years ago and the children so enjoyed his show, and the parents were so complimentary, that we wanted to bring him back,” says Library chief executive officer Barb Sweet. In addition to receiving accolades from numerous music festivals, and positive reviews for his many school and library performances, Jake Differ has won a Parents’ Choice award and his album Ziggy Zaggy Road was nominated for a Juno. The concert is free. In the following weeks after the summer reading club kick off, there will be fun activities centred around the TD Summer Reading’s Eureka! theme. Held throughout the summer will be creative art, music and science activities. The variety of programs will alternate between library branches in order to serve all communities. Gardening and permaculture expert Michella Kaduk will host “Get Growing with Michella” to inspire young gardeners. Children can also get their creative juices flowing with Duct Tape Creations, Rube Goldberg’s Machine Madness, Cardboard Mania, Strike Up the Band, and Mr. B. and Miss Lee’s Think-AMa-Jink Inventorium. Interspersed will be other special guest performances mid summer and at the ‘end of summer’ wrap up party. On Saturday, July 19 at 2 p.m., mark your calendars for the return of the popular Barefoot Players. This year, the talented Queen’s University Drama Troupe will be performing Dream a Little Dream, an adaptation

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Move away from party politics would be improvement

In many recent letters to the Gazette and other publications, it has been correctly observed that our elected representatives at Queen’s Park and in Ottawa actually represent their party and its politics rather than the needs of the constituents they pretend to represent. This is to be entirely expected considering the structure and objectives of the party system. Let me explain... Political parties are inherently undemocratic institutions designed to circumvent the legitimate right of a community to choose its own accountable representative from its own population base. The nominations process for a political party

demands that the candidate be chosen from the party, behind closed doors, and he or she is totally dependent on the party to succeed. Political parties are topdow structures where money is funneled in from the interest group the party actually represents. The money is distributed to local ridings to ensure the party faithful are presented to the electorate on a silver platter, allegedly sympathetic to the needs of the local community. Wellfunded, dumbed down election campaigns are a strategy to replace our interests with theirs, misinform and lie to the electorate, point fingers to contrived problems, After election, these candidates

become backbenchers, completely subservient to the needs of the party, the policies of its leader, and the real interests that pull his (or her ) puppet strings. In a nutshell, the Conservatives and Liberals are parties of this business, the rich, and the privileged. The NDP to some degree represents the interest of workers and organized labour. The Greens try to protect our environment from the worst effects of unregulated capitalism. Liberal and Conservative contests are only an illusion that some measure of choice is possible. Business funds and controls both parties either way. What to do? Stop settling for inferior party can-

didates and nominate our own. Shire Hall could lead the way by shedding its party loyalties and looking among council for one councillor with the integrity, conviction, knowledge, and accountability to be our future MP or MPP. Our warden used to be selected this way. If we all work together and support this candidate, Prince Edward County could carry a lot of clout in the Prince Edward-Hastings riding. We could finally vote for someone who cares and is accountable only to us. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?

When council developed the winery policy known as OPA 45, classifications of wineries known as “farm winery” and “estate winery” were designed to support a wide variety of winery operations in the county. The classifications provided the mechanism for the municipality to : n Identify winery operations that are considered agricultural in nature and those that are considered commercial. n Permit those wineries that are agricultural in nature as "as-of-right" farm wineries. n Permit those winery operations with ancillary

commercial uses as estate wineries subject to municipal council zoning approval. Prime agricultural areas are those areas of better agricultural land. The provincial and municipal planning policy context in the county and province for some time now has been to protect the land base in prime agricultural areas for agricultural use and that commercial uses such as those proposed here would not be permitted. Because of the commercial uses permitted as part of an estate winery, the winery policy of OPA 45 did not permit estate

wineries in prime agricultural areas. We understand that this restriction is no longer present because of an OMB ruling but this zoning amendment is at the discretion of council. Council can still do the right thing so that this type of operation will establish in other than prime agricultural areas. The potential for part-time seasonal jobs for event hosting does not justify a poor planning decision. Furthermore, the winery policy requires that estate wineries shall be required to locate with direct access and frontage onto an improved public roadway maintained

year round with sufficient capacity to accommodate the anticipated traffic." Stapleton Road clearly does not meet this requirement now and the staff recommendation requires that the applicant would upgrade the road if the application is approved. The agent for Hillier Creek stated that they are unwilling to do this. Our position is that this application be denied as the location is not suitable for commercial development.

Answers, please... This past weekend, I had the privilege of taking part in The Great Canadian Cheese Festival. After two busy, productive days, I came away with tired feet, a hoarse throat and the following insights: Where was our local tourism/community development booth, with representatives talking to our visitors about Prince Edward

County? Why would the town council not support local winery events when each event would provide jobs for local residents? Do councillors not understand the financial spin off for small businesses from events that take place in the county (B&B’s, inns, restaurants, local shops, small businesses such as food trucks, engravers, butchers,

bakers, caterers, photographers, tent rentals et cetera). Why do town planners allow our scenic, unique rural setting to become littered with solar generating stations? We can hide them with berms and fencing but these acres of cement, metal and solar panels do not support what they are trying to sell... a tourist paradise. (The free, glossy magazine, Prince Edward County, fea-

turing the Arts, Taste, and Wine Trails did not have one of our massive solar generating stations featured.) I do not have a lot of answers but perhaps someone, somewhere will have enough common sense to stand up and try to answer some of these queries. Call me, I am available. Kathy Felkar Picton

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Five more reasons not to vote PC

A few more reasons why a vote for Todd Smith/Tim Hudak in the election this week is a very unhealthy idea... 1. Conservative insiders are making money from the industrial wind turbine industry the PCs claim they will kill. While the Conservatives have been telling rural Ontarians they are going to stand up for their rights, their “people” have been worming their way inside the wind business. For example, Frank Klees, one-time cabinet minister in Mike Harris’ shameful government, was on the board of Tribute Resources, Universal Energy, and Just Energy, resigning just before the 2011 election only because of how it might look as he ran for office. His replacement on the Tribute Board was, and remains, Larry Smith, the chief financial officer of the Newmarket Aurora Progressive Conservative Riding Association...but he’s staying put, I guess, because he’s not running

for anything. Also, Mike Harris himself is neck deep in it with his work at Magna. When it comes to money and power, principles take a back seat with these guys. 2 Lisa MacLeod, current PC MPP for Nepean-Carleton and one of Hudak’s main acolytes, claimed, in a recent speech, that a PC government would restore locally based decision-making for wind and solar projects. But then she dropped the other shoe: a moratorium would be placed on any future wind developments until there are proper environmental and health effects studies. This should be read to mean that projects will not necessarily be killed, just delayed until they can be justified to suit a PC! 3. What is more, and supporting the notion that the PCs will simply be delaying projects, Tim Hudak has said it would be very difficult to reverse wind energy projects in rural Ontario that have already been approved...like those

in the county. 4. However, if we do, by some miracle, actually regain local municipal control over decision-making regarding turbines, try to imagine how the “deep thinkers” on our council might respond to the opportunity. Think only of council’s shoddy record to date re opposing wind projects in the County or its fall-overitself but come-to-nothing support of a turbine components manufacturing business here in the County and be careful what you wish for! 5. Just scrapping the Green Energy Act—the PC’s “Plan”—would likely lead to a worse disaster than we already have. Without a completely new act governing local acceptance of renewable energy projects, the PC initiative could well lead to a multitude of infinitely more unacceptable problems than we already live with. Brian Flack Athol

Cases suggest attack on religious freedom

Several years ago the Quebec government ordered that all public schools, private schools and home schools must follow the provincial curriculum on ethics and religious culture. A Catholic private school, Loyola, asked permission to teach the course from a Catholic perspective, and a lower court judge agreed, but in March the Quebec Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the government; so, now the case is going to the Supreme Court of Canada. In British Columbia, Trinity Western University is planning to start a college for teaching law. As in its other colleges, prospective students will be asked to agree with a long-standing code of student behavior that includes abstention from sexual relations outside of marriage. Some B.C. citizens questioned whether students

graduating from the future law school could be trusted to provide fair representation in "gay rights" litigation. The B.C. Law Society and several other provincial law societies have said, "Yes," but in April, by a vote of 28 to 21, leaders of the Upper Canada Law Society said they would not want Trinity Western law graduates to practice in Ontario. Both the Loyola case and the Trinity Western case look like the beginning of efforts to give a secular education philosophy more weight than the freedom of religion clause in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. 80 years ago German citizens allowed Nazis to deprive Jews of their religious freedom, and before that Russians were allowing Communists to kill both Jews and Christians. For 65 years Chinese

governments have allowed only state-approved churches to remain open. Are we going to allow secular-minded lawyers and judges to decide what our parents and schools may teach? To have your say, please contact the Ontario Fairness Commissioner, 595 Bay Street, Suite 1201, Toronto ON M7A 2B4. The above statement approved by Prince Edward County Ministerial Association at its regular meeting on May 29, 2014 On behalf of our chairperson, the Rev. Kirby Breithaupt, who is the United Church minister in the Prince Edward North pastoral charge, I am submitting this statement respectfully. Al Reimers Wellington

Frizzell publishes his parents’ love letters on day that would’ve been their 50th anniversary Author’s latest project tells of real-life tale of blossoming love in Prince Edward County in a time before electronic communications Jason Parks

Staff writer

Internationally published author Colin Frizzell appreciates the juxtaposition of his latest project. Correspondence between his father and mother prior to their marriage over 50 years ago would take weeks to travel from his father Art in Prince Edward County to Peggy in her native Ireland and vice versa.

Today, this compilation of love letters travels in the speed of seconds as an ebook available through Amazon.ca for kindle reading applications. Frizzell, an accomplished author that has written several young adult novels, has complied Such Little Time: A collection of love letters. The effort was released electronically June 6 which would have been the couple's 50th wedding

anniversary. Frizzell authored a foreword and afterward and edited the collection but insists his late father and mother are the authors of the book which is over 200 pages in length. His foreword details how his parents got engaged after just four days of knowing one another. They met in a very county way, he explains. His mother was visiting family in North America

THANK YOU!

Thanks to the generous support of County residents and visitors, the Auxiliary’s May 30th Tag Day was a great success!

Our volunteers raised just over $4,000. The Auxiliary will top up the amount to $4,800, to purchase equipment recently requested by the hospital, including a sleeper chair and three stretcher mattresses for our Picton Hospital Emergency Department. YOUR GENEROSITY IS MUCH APPRECIATED

Thank you also to organizers Judy Anderson, Beth McConnell, Sue Law and Art Hewer, and to all the Auxiliary members who took time to sell tags, make food and help our Treasurer, and to St. Andrew’s Church, Picton, for their generous offer of the church as our headquarters for the day.

and paid a visit to Prince Edward County where her cousin had married Art's sister. “It was arranged they were going to meet at the dance hall near Lake-onthe-Mountain which, at that time, was commonly referred to as the Bucket of Blood,” Frizzell said. “Dad ended up skipping the date and going to town but did stop by the hall later. Dad got learn what an Irish temper really was but I think that drew his attention.” Four days later and Peggy about to depart for the Emerald Isle, Art Frizzell popped the question while looking down from Chuckery Hill. “Dad was concerned that if she left without any commitment, she wouldn't return,” said Frizzell. The series of letters are a unique opportunity to see two hearts open up to one another and offer prose from a different time when words were painstakingly strung together to paint pictures of detail and emotion. They start in the summer of 1963 and encapsulate both feelings and world events during that time.

submissions. The fact the letters made it this far is nothing short of extraordinary. In the correspondence, the couple agree to destroy the letters, however, Peggy saved seven of the missives and brought them over from Ireland with her. Art saved every one of his future bride's love notes. “I guess mom tucked seven away before she came over from Ireland and dad just decided to keep all of them,” Frizzell said. “I didn't find out about them until after dad died and as soon as I got my hands on them, I just started reading

through all of them and I found them so interesting.” A view into a blossoming love that had to built through patience. “It's fascinating,” Frizzell said. “Today we are so used to being able to touch base with anyone instantaneously. Mom didn't have a phone at the time and the only way for them to keep in touch were letters.” As mentioned, the compilation is available for purchase and download at Amazon.ca. Frizzell said a hard copy version may be available at a later date.

Three Dog Winery allows its owners to pursue their passion

Sippin’ in the county JOE HACHE

John Squair was one of the first people I met in the wine industry when I moved to the county five years ago. He was working at Sandbanks at the time and I saw that he had a definite passion for the industry. John and Sacha Squair had a vision and started planting their vineyard in 2000 with 500 Pinot gris and this was followed by 1,500 Pinot noir in 2002. In recent years they have been slowly adding more Pinot clones and some French hybrids along with a little Baco, a little Foch and a little Vidal. Three Dog Winery’s estate covers 100 acres (the back 15 acres is a sugar bush) in beautiful Prince Edward County. Their vineyard property has three different soil types: Darlington, Gerow, and Ameliasburgh. Initially, only about 30 acres will be planted to vines which gives them room to grow. Fast forward to 2014 and their tasting room is finally open. In this amazing journey, they've been lucky to have the support of family and friends. Evidence of this was in 2013 when they had a planting party with over 100 volunteers. They found that trying to start a vineyard/winery and only working it on the weekends, while living in the GTA, was crazy so in 2003 they made the big leap to the county. They quit their jobs with the 50-plus hour work weeks to live in paradise. They didn’t realize that paradise would include one of the coldest winters on record in 2003 and they lost a chunk of their Pinot noir. But they didn’t lose their passion for vineyard work and wine. They re-planted more Pinot in 2004 and then founded Grapevale Vineyard Management. Through Grapevale John managed a number of different vineyards and assisted newcomers in selecting properties appropriate for vineyards. Meanwhile Sacha started the same routine they had left in the GTA and she took a job in Kingston with long hours and commuting once again. Sacha has now quit the crazy hours and one-andone-half hour commute and has opened Indigo Yoga Centre. She is now pursuing both of her passions – yoga and wine. The only way for them to make their dream of Three Dog Winery a reality was to jump in with both feet and pursue their dream even if it was to be held together with

bubble gum, lint, a shoestring and a bit of duct tape. They wanted Three Dog to become a gathering place for the community near and far. Not just a winery where you buy a bottle of wine and leave. Their idea was to create a place where you not only want to stop and enjoy a glass of wine, but also a place where artists, artisanal food producers, farmers and craftsman could come and set up their wares to share the “Bounty of the County”. The idea is to eventually build a stage on the far south facing slope to offer concerts and small local theatre productions. Their vision is that Three Dog is not just a place but more of a "sense of place”. Three Dog Winery got its name from their three golden retrievers. They have always had three golden retrievers. The original three (Angus, Sienna and Chevy) are all buried at the vineyard as it was always their favourite place to be. The current three (Jersey, Rieki, and Bakkus) are there every chance they can get. All of their dogs are rescues from Golden Rescue Canada. Three Dog will always be dog friendly. You won’t have to leave your dog at home or ship them off to a kennel to go on a wine tour. Bring them along and let them play in the dog park. Grab a bottle of wine and take them for a walk down the many trails through the property. Grab a spot in the shade with “Spot” and have a picnic. Relax… Party on the Patio is their theme for their grand opening on Saturday, June 14 (11 a.m. to 6 p.m.). Live music by Dog House Rose and food by the county’s newest food truck PicNic, Seed to Sausage, Taco Girl, Pyramid Ferments and Moon Light on the Lake! I'll be sipping in the county on Saturday and I know where I'll be! I hope to see you on their fabulous new patio with a glass of wine (I'll be sipping their Dog House White - an

ber sharing some of his insights and stories from the business as part of the programming lineup. County FM has agreed with the Festival Players of Prince Edward County to do create some content that corresponds with the festival’s upcoming season, while it also promises to be a place where local musical talent can be heard and discovered. Among the 75 active volunteers already working at the station, Johnston noted the programming committee has been pouring over suggestions from the public for programming as well as applications from people interested in being on-air hosts and studio personnel. Johnston said the team is working toward creating a schedule that will serve the community 24 hours a day and an atmosphere that will make the station a go-to source for local residents and tourists to learn about events that are happening in the county as they happen. Those with programming suggestions can visit the station’s office at the County Farm Centre or visit its Facebook page to share them.

'The format will be like CBC Radio five or six years ago,” he said. “Fairly accessible during the day. A lot of opportunity for service groups, arts groups, whomever to drop in and talk about stuff going on in community.” Johnston said the station is looking to offer some specialty programming and it already has a jazz show lined up and it is also looking at programs dedicated to blues, hip hop, and heavy metal, with board member David Wheatley already lined up to host the metal show. On the weekend, the station is also looking into taking on some sports programming with the potential of a local round-up show on Sunday nights as a starting point for that coverage. One of several experienced broadcasters on the board, producer Lynn Pickering is working on concepts for a few shows that are likely to take the air, while Johnston said he’s also talking with Bernie Finkelstein about the possibility of the Order of Canada mem-

Stark Family Fund celebrates a decade by giving $52,589 to 12 projects Throughout the past 10 years, endowment has provided 131 grants adam bramburger Staff writer

A full decade after its first gift was handed out, the Stark Family Fund continues to provide for the people of Prince Edward County. Bloomfield’s Stark sisters talked about ways they could help their community after they passed away and eventually, on their behalf, Ruth Stark bequested $1.3 million to the Community Foundation of Kingston and Area in 2003 as at that time, there was no County Community Foundation to administer the endowment fund. Ultimately, the fund saw its first grants given in 2004 and last Thursday, it handed

out its 10th series of annual gifts, giving $52, 589 to 12 worthy causes. Those 12 projects brought the total amount of grants to 131 to 59 different organizations with

a total monetary value to date of $574,374. While the Community Foundation of Kingston and Area manages investments to grow the fund, a grant

grants in any given year. By order of monetary amount, here are the projects they selected for the 2014 disbursement... n Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation, $20,000 for Telemetry Unit Upgrade. The foundation is raising money for a much-needed upgrade in cardiac monitoring equipment for its inpatient unit. The hospital currently has three beds attached to stationary cardiac monitors and four mobile units. All of those devices are heavily used. The equipment is used for patients with not just heart disease, but also those admitted for heart attacks, angina, and congestive heart failure, as well as those prepping for or recovering from heart surgery. n Rotary Club of Picton, $5,750 for Picton Scholarships. This regular donation from the fund will be used to support five annual scholarships handed out by Picton Rotarians to individuals attending post-secondary institutions this fall. n Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation, $5,000 for Operation: Cutting Edge Technology. Medical technology at Trenton Memorial Hospital’s ambulatory clinics and operating rooms has not been upgraded since 1996. This project would bring in a new information technology system to enhance services for patients, their families, and health-care professionals. Annually, the Quinte Healthcare Corporation (QHC) hospital services 11,200 surgical cases, does over 7,200 minor surgical procedures, completes 11,900 endoscopies, and 370 Caesarian births. The new system will help improve quality monitoring, planning, health-record integration, access and wait time targets, workflow, and patient navigation through the system. n The Prince Edward Community Care For Seniors Association, $4,899 for Helping Seniors Get Around. Community Care has offered escorted transportation to seniors for medical appointments and essential shopping for more than 25 years, yet many still don’t know the service is available. The grant will pay for promotion to seniors and their caregivers and it will also help with volunteer recruitment initiatives. n The Canadian Diabetes Association, $3,200 for Camp for Children with Type 1 Diabetes. For nearly 60 years, a special medical camp oper-

ated by the Canadian Diabetes Association called Camp Banting has taken children from the county who are living with Type 1 diabetes. The camp teaches chronically ill children how to avoid diabetes complications that could lead to premature and painful death. It is the only camp of its kind in Canada for children 7-15 with the disease. The children learn how to balance proper nutrition, physical activity, and insulin in a supervised, fun envisionment to help prevent further complications like cardiovascular diseases, kidney disease, blindness, or amputations. The grant will subsidize four local children to attend Camp Banting. n Festival Players of Prince Edward County Inc., $3,000 for Festival Players Young Company 2014. The Young Company program allows young people to get hands-on experience with theatre professionals throughout the summer months. Now in its second year, the program would allow six youth ages 15-24 from the local community to create a show for a youth audience through a rehearsal and performance process, then tour it around the county, and it would provide other mentorship and workship opportunities for the company. n Hospice Prince Edward, $2,800 for Complementary Therapy Program. Hospice is planning to introduce a complementary therapy program for clients in its community visiting program and residents at the residential hospice centre at 40 Downes Avenue. The grant could include funds to research established complementary therapy programs at other hospices and industry conferences, as well as bringing established specialists in the field to the county. As a result of the research and planning, a pilot project cold be established to offer these therapies locally and to evaluate the possibility of an ongoing complementary therapy program in the county. n Prince Edward County Skating Club, $2,800 for PECSC Skating Program Improvement Project. The club is considering using Perpetual Dartfish, Suite, a state-of-the-art video software that coaches can use as a tool to improve skaters’ performance. Dartfish can also reinforce effectiveness of lessons by allowing coaches to show skaters immediately what they’re doing on the ice and they can also share the information through an online platform. The grant costs will cover the purchase of the program. n County of Prince Edward Public Library, $1,890 for Creating change. With grant funding, the libraries in Consecon, Ameliasburgh, Wellington, and Bloomfield would receive installations of horizontal baby changing stations, similar to those installed in the other library branches already. The additions would help foster a safe, comforting environment to meet the needs of families.

Wear something purple this Sunday to advocate for an end to elder abuse

The International Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse (INPEA) recently announced the 9th Annual World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) on Sunday, June 15, 2014. INPEA asks that people show the world you care about ending elder abuse and neglect by wearing something purple on this day. Communities and municipalities will make proclamations declaring June 15 as World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) and in some communities there will be events designed to raise awareness of elder abuse. The first Awareness Day was held in 2006 and involved several hundred organizations and governmental bodies at international, national, regional, local, community and neighbourhood level, in every continent in the world. The day is in support of the United Nations International Plan of Action which recognizes the significance of elder abuse as

a public health and human rights issue. Governments, non-governmental organizations, educational institutions, religious groups, professionals in the field of aging, interested individuals as well as older persons themselves focus on this Awareness Day to promote a better under-

standing of abuse and neglect of older persons. Activities are organized around the world to raise awareness of the cultural, social, economic and demographic processes affecting elder abuse and neglect. Throughout the world, abuse and neglect of older persons is largely under-recognized or treated as an unspoken problem. Unfortunately, no community or country in the world is immune from this costly, public health and human rights crisis. INPEA states that research indicates that public education campaigns like World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) are vital for informing people in a growing number of countries about elder abuse.

Fairy gardens can attract attention on their own or be included in bigger plans

What is a “fairy garden”? It’s a miniature garden with a theme to tickle the imagination. This hobby developed in the USA around 2004 and has gained popularity throughout North America and beyond since then. The idea is to construct a little garden with “fairy-sized” components, tiny plants, paths, even buildings. Of what use are they? Basically, they provide an entertaining hobby for gardeners. They are often set up in containers of various shapes or even terrariums, so they can be placed indoors, or on a balcony or patio. They can also be part of an outdoor garden in a sheltered, out-of-the-way spot. It can be an excellent way to introduce children to gardening, while stimulating their imagination. What materials are required? Besides the container, which does not need to be very deep, like a large shallow bowl or an oblong pan, you would need some potting soil, pebbles, tiny

plants, moss, baby trees or tree-like plants. You should keep baby trees in their pots buried in the soil to slow their natural growth.

touch of colour. In fact, the whole garden could be made more permanent by using only dried and artificial plant materials, but that does reduce the gardening aspect somewhat. On the other hand, an outdoors fairy garden is serious gardening, perhaps involving the base of a large tree dressed up with a small door and windows and more regular sized plants and flowers for the fairies to hide amongst. Oh, where are the fairies? Some say they’re shy, they’re hiding; perhaps they only come out at night. Others provide fairy figurines, animals and birds. In this case the garden should be scaled to the size of the fairy if possible, for a more realistic effect. The best thing is to make up your own story and try to make your own accessories from natural materials, but of course there are lots of these things available to buy at garden centres, craft stores and so on. Some garden centres also have fairy

Staff wrIter

Students at Pinecrest Memorial School in Bloomfield watched patiently this week as the circle of life was slowly revealed. A pair of primary classes at the school took part in a Hastings & Prince Edward School Board initiative that saw classes get a hands-on approach to the Understanding life systems strand of The Ontario Curriculum. In total, students from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 3 at 28 elementary schools (representing 68 classes) viewed and documented the entire life cycle of painted lady caterpillarsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;from the larvae stage through to emerging as a butterfly. Grade 1/2 instructor Marybeth Strauss said her class has been patiently waiting to see the butter-

flies emerge and the 25 or so lepidopterans released into the wilds of central Hallowell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They started out the size of your thumbnail and we've been watching them, caring for them and monitoring them ever since,â&#x20AC;? Strauss said. Student Lilly Anderson said she was amazed by the chrysalis formation while her fellow classmate Libby Hudson said she enjoyed placing cut up fruit including orange slices into the butterfly house. Hudson added the release of the butterflies will be a bittersweet moment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I'm kind of in the middle. I will like to see them fly away but it's been fun watching them grow,â&#x20AC;? she said. Teacher Erin Prinzen's Junior and Senior Kindergarten class was also part of the project.

Heritage district OMB hearing to start next week

Another Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) hearing is set to begin in Picton next week. A challenge of Picton's Heritage Conservation District is expected to begin with a preliminary hearing scheduled for Tuesday, June 17 at 10:30 a.m. at Shire Hall in Picton. Picton's Naval Marine Archive is listed under the case description for the hearing. The heritage district was approved last July in a

recorded vote of 8â&#x20AC;&#x201C;6. The vote initially lost in a 7â&#x20AC;&#x201C;7 tie, but a recorded vote called minutes later appeared to change the decision. At the time, Mayor Peter Mertens said council did not contravene the municipality's procedure bylaw as a member of council may call for a recorded vote after the declaration if the result is contested. -Chad Ibbotson, Staff

McKee-Arlidge brings home OFSAA silver in 800-metre Grade 9 athlete has two top-four finishes among open events for blind in Misssissauga JAson PArks

Staff writer

While the PECI track and field team might have fallen short in the expected results department, they certainly didn't lack in the inspiration folder in 2014. Veteran sprinter Cole Norton and newcomer Keneil Warren were, at the outset of the season, expected to blaze a trail to the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) track and field festival and help turn in one of the school's best showings at the provincial stage. But Norton, a double OFSAA medalist last year, was hampered by a hamstring injury in the early going and was forced to sit out the season just as it was starting to get underway. Warren lived up to his end, putting in some amazing performances until a case of shin splints this weekend derailed his first crack at an OFSAA medal. Enter stage right Trista McKee-Arlidge. The sprite sprinter was perhaps an afterthought when the season began but her stride just kept getting stronger and stronger in the open 100metre (26.20) and 800-metre (5:37.78) blind events. Finally, at North America's largest Track and Field festival in Mississauga Saturday, Mckee-Arlidge put PECI back on the Track and Field map, winning a silver medal in the 800 m event and earning a fourth place finish in the 100 m event. Track and feld coach Bob Bell was thrilled with McKee-Arlidge's results. “The categories are open (Grade 9-12) as this is the first season for the visually impaired runners, but Trista had a great experience and she just kept getting better and better all season,” Bell said. “She met some very

nice people and the girls she ran against were very supportive of one another. You couldn't ask for a more supportive group of athletes.” And the support came from all corners this season as being a part of the PECI Panthers has helped McKeeArlidge in other ways. “It's really helped her ex-

pand socially. When we started, she was very quiet and going to and coming from the meets, she just sat on the bus and didn't say anything. Now she's chatting with her teammates and her support runner Lyndsey Corbin and she's made some life long friends in the process,” said Bell.

When asked about her results and taking home a silver medal, Mckee-Arlidge was all smiles. “I was like ‘Wow, it was amazing,’” she told the Gazette Monday. “(Medaling) was one of my goals and I also wanted to beat my personal best time but to go from 5:51 to 5:37 was amaz-

ing.” And all the while, Panthers hooted and hollered their support of their teammate. “That's what I can't believe. They all believe in me and support me and it's nice to know that they aren't thinking 'She can't run, she's blind.'

the provincial tournament. Following their 4-1 win, the Panthers took on the second-seeded Bishop Allen Cardinals Wednesday afternoon. The Panthers immediately got ahead as leadoff batter Phil Seguin walked and teammates Gavin Ronan and Matt Gallo advanced him to third base

before Bob Wilson drove him in with a sacrifice fly. The pickings were slim for both teams at the plate as Bishop Allen’s Julian Tymochko settled and stayed in the game all seven innings, striking out four batters and allowing just five Panthers hits. PECI starter Pat Macpherson was also stingy, striking out four

batters and allowing just three walks and two hits in three-and-two-thirds innings. The Cardinals evened it in the fifth inning as the Panthers had a tough stanza behind Kyle Gould the leadoff hitter reached base on an error and was moved to score with a bunt and another error.

In the seventh, Bishop Allen would add two more runs. Gould allowed batters on with a walk and hit batsman early and the Cardinals managed to get a single and double off reliever Matt Gallo before he could retire the side. PECI wold have last bats in the game and Riley McConnell would reach first

Mckee-Arlidge thanked the PECI coaching staff for their dedication to her improvement over the season, adding “It's nice to know people care and will put in the effort to help you train and learn about the sport.” And to her guide runner Corbin who was with her every step of the way. “All I can say is that she's honourable for doing this, she is a very nice person and I said to her “I can't thank you enough,” Mckee-Arlidge said. The sprinter was one of three first year Panthers participating and the spectacle and magnitude of the OFSAA track and field meet might have caught up with the aforementioned Warren and discus thrower Cody Woodward. Bell said the 100-metre heats had a number of blocks violations that went uncharged and that might have been part of some head games being played by inner-city sprinters. At that stage, guys like to mess around and instead of officials charging one false start to the field, guys were allowed to stand up and reset,” Bell said. “It was certainly disconcerting and a distraction to (Warren). I'm sure he was very tentative coming out of the block and then shin splints reared its ugly head... had he ran his regular race, would have made the final. Warren was scratched for the 200-metre dash to ensure he didn't risk further injury. Woodward made the fatal mistake of clanking his first OFSAA discus throw off the fence that surrounds the throwing circle and could never fully recover. “You could tell the throw was going to be out of this world and it just slipped off the fingers,” Bell said. “Of course, once you do that in front of the field and the stands, you're rattled and that's what happened. (Woodward) faulted on his next throw and he couldn't get anything behind his last attempt.”

The Panthers started the game by taking an early 2-0 lead over the Jaguars as hard-throwing right hander Bob Wilson got the start for his club. St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s would rally to bring the game to a 2-2 tie as Kevin Wilson came into the game to pitch for the Panthers. He also got the offence going in the fourth inning with a triple and Jordan Strachan contributed an RBI to lift the Panthers into the lead. That would be short lived, however, as the Jaguars managed to use the long ball to get back ahead in the game 5-3. The Panthers would bring in Matt Gallo to pitch. Gavin Ronan would drive in a run later to bring the Panthers within one, but that was as close as theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d get as the Jaguars were just a little bit stronger on Thursday to win and move on to the playoff competition. St. Joseph ended up going on to capture third place in the tournament, just missing the OFSAA provincial semi-finals, which pits the top two teams from the east against those from the west. Bishop Allen secured a spot in that event by beating St. Joseph 8-2. Top-seeded Sinclair lived up to its advance billing by capturing the other berth with an unbeaten two days and a 7-0 trouncing of the Cardinals in the battle of the unbeaten teams. Though disappointed by the finish, the Panthers have much to look forward to as they prepare for the 2015 campaign. The team undoubtedly loses a heart and soul leader as third baseman and pitcher Gallo ages out after five years with the program and it also figures to lose Macpherson and outfielder Riley McConnell. Throughout the year, however, coach Matt Ronan said his team was 18 players deep and he felt all of the Panthers he selected could take the field at any time. PECI will return a lineup of experienced starters to a Bay of Quinte Conference it dominated with a 12-0 mark this year. Its players will also go into the off-season motivated by knowing that they held leads on two of the top three teams in eastern Ontario and with a bit of good fortune, they might have been playing for a chance to reach the final four in the province.

A trio of local swimmers gave their best effort at the eastern Ontario long course championships over the weekend. Held at the Nepean Sportsplex outside of Ottawa on June 6, 7, and 8, the event saw 10-year-old Annika Hudgin, 15-year-old Morgan Clark, and 13-yearold Kelli-Anne Maycock of the Quinte Dolphins Swim team compete. Hudgin, a Grade 4 student at Sonrise Christian Academy, competed in four events at the regional competition and collected a bronze medal in the 10-andunder backstroke event. Additionally, Hudgin broke the Quinte Dolphins club record in the event, smashing the record of Rebecca Craig which stood for 12 years. Clark, a Grade 9 student at PECI, is no stranger to high-level swimming competition. She competed in the Eastern Canadian Championships earlier this year. Clark swam in seven events and qualified for the finals in all but one. In the end she took sixth place in the 5-metre backstroke, sixth in the 50-metre freestyle, and seventh place in the 50-metre butterfly. She achieved a national time in the 50-metre backstroke event, however. Maycock, a Grade 8 student at St. Gregory's school, competed in five events and earned points for the Dolphins, placing fifteenth in

Councillor Dianne O'Brien spoke in favour of the event, urging fellow councillors to look at the positives the event will bring. “We have a group of hardworking, dedicated volunteers that are trying to raise money to support a cause that could help our friends, our family, our neighbours,” she said. “Instead of looking at (negative) possibilities that could happen, let's look at the positive outcome of this and let's give these dedicated volunteers our support.” Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation executive director Wendy Warner asked council to allow the event continue forward on Tuesday evening. She said organizers expect the event to bring 500–1,000 people to Prince Edward County. “We are estimating at least 500 people to take part in the event and at this time we actually have the Cancer Society, who has done the Relay events, telling us that we are trending far better than traditional participation rates,” she said. “Since the media announcement we had last September and since our presentation here at council on March 25, we have 250 people register their participation, we 38 teams that have registered.” She said those who've signed up for the event have already generated $17,250 in fees, $2,500 in funds raised, and thousands more worth of sponsorships. She said the Grapes of Wrath Facebook page has already generated 7,000 hits. She said the event will bring an economic benefit to the county as well as participants will likely see accommodations for the night and most will visit restaurants. “We have teams already from Ottawa and Toronto. What that means is they're going to be looking for overnight accommodation, multiple meals, gas, and who knows what else,” she said. The zoning issue arose a couple of weeks ago when a rezoning request from Hillier Creek Estates — which would have allowed the winery to hold special events like weddings — was deferred by council for the summer. Mayor Peter Mertens said the intent is to have a municipal representative oversee the event to ensure proper safeguards are in place for building and fire codes.

County approves surface treatment increase of $124,310 ChAd IBBotson

Staff writer

Damage to roads throughout the winter is proving costly for many municipalities and Prince Edward County is no different. On Tuesday evening council voted to award a contract to Miller Paving Limited in the amount of $911,930 plus HST for surface treatment. Council also approved a roads surface treatment budget increase of $124,310 that will be funded from the municipality's

roads construction reserve to support the necessary road work, bringing the total cost of 2014 surface treatment to over $1.27 million. Miller was the lowest bidder. A report from the engineering, development, and works department presented to council on Tuesday attributes the budget increase to a tough winter. “Approximately 51km of resurfacing in planned for 2014. As a result of the severe winter more double surface treatment is proposed, increasing the overall budget requirement,” the report says. The work includes a sin-

gle application of surface treatment for 4.8 kilometres of Long Point Road from Gravelly Bay Road to the gravel section, and a 2.5kilometre stretch of Valley Road from Hwy 62 to County Rd. 19. A 1.7-kilometre section of Burr Road from Hwy. 62 to Hillier boundary, a 200metre section of Lakeside Drive, an 8.8-kilometre stretch of County Rd. 24 from Brummell Road to Army Reserve Road, and a 0.6-kilometre section of Valley Road will receive a double application of surface treatment. Staff had also included some provisional work —

including a double surface treatment of Danforth Road — but recommended that work not be included in the contract award as it would add another $465,666 to the budget. Councillor Alec Lunn said Danforth Road has been up for road work since his first year on council and has been continually pushed into later years. He called for an amendment to include the provisional items in the tender for surface treatment this year. “It was on the list, it was bumped. We were told at the time we're not going to be political about any of this stuff and we've had deputa-

I've sat quietly and waited and here it goes again and it's not right.” However, councillor Terry Shortt said council should trust the judgement of staff. “It was a harsh winter and we all know the toll it's taken on our roads, no one particular road, but roads around the county,” he said. “There's a lot of wisdom in what's proposed.” Lunn's amendment lost.

Hospital foundation launches legacy society AdAm BrAmBurger Staff writer

Individuals who have remembered the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital in their estate planning will be eligible for some special recognition. This week, the hospital’s foundation announced that it will be forming the Prince Edward County Cornerstone Legacy Society to honour those who have set aside a bequest, a life insurance gift or another planned gift. The people who qualify for that society will be recognized in a reception at the Waring House today. “When you become a member of the Cornerstone Legacy Society, you ensure that your commitment to advancing health care for the residents of Prince Edward County becomes part of your personal legacy,” said the foundation’s interim director of development Hazel Lloyst. Lloyst also indicated that membership in the society comes with tax benefits for individuals and their families. “We have put this society in place to express our sincere appreciation to our supporters while they are still living,” said Lloyst. “It also provides us with an opportunity to meet our future benefactors.” The charter members of the society are individuals who indicated before today that they have left a bequest for the hospital foundation. Today, those members will be thanked for their efforts and presented with a specially designed lapel pin to show their forethought and generous nature. Each charter member will also be given an opportunity to have his or her name entered onto the foundation’s honour roll on the donor wall at the hospital as an enduring legacy. Marion Smith, a 92-yearold Auxiliary volunteer of over 33 years has agreed to be the first charter member. Smith still volunteers at the Second Time Around Shop and acts as a champion for the local hospital. She made her gift hoping for a bright future for the facility. “Wherever we reside, we have to have a hospital, especially in Prince Edward County,” she said in a release. “I truly believe our entire community benefits when we have a strong hospital... What better way to help your fellow man than to leave a legacy to the foundation. In our lifetime, we will all use the hospital.” To become a member, one must leave a provision for the foundation in their will. Those wishing further information on becoming part of the Prince Edward County Cornerstone Legacy Society are invited to contact Lloyst at the foundation’s office by calling 613-476-1008 ext. 4503. Those who wish to give but remain anonymous will also have those wishes respected by the foundation.

Show organizer Fran Larkin agreed that affordable housing in Prince Edward County was hard to come by-given her experiences on the municipal affordable housing committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think affordable housing is a big issue here,â&#x20AC;? Larkin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And with the increase in tourism, those houses that were affordable are quickly becoming seasonal rentals and that puts a lot of strain on what's available.â&#x20AC;?

Our neighbour and a friend at work just changed their furnace and got an A/C unit installed through an outfit called Access HVAC. We both heard that name before.

CARD OF THANKS

The daughter of the late Peggy Salley would like to take this opportunity to thank the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital and the wonderful staff. The care and compassion that was given to Mom was exceptional. Thank you so much for your kindness to me, when I didn’t know what was happening. I will be forever grateful that Mom’s last few hours were in the care of such compassionate people, Karen, Joe, Zac (in xray) Dr. Blanchard, and especially Jane. Of course I can’t forget Julie Craig, thanks for being there before, during, and after, your friendship has been my rock. I would also like to thank my oldest son Dustin for coming to help me with Gramma and for staying with me all day even though I told you to leave, thank you for not listening to your mother. Thank you to my friends and co-workers for everything from bringing food, to your encouragement and hugs, Roni Smith, Tina Norman, Stacey McGrayne, Sheranda Griffiths. Thank you to Tod Lavender for the hugs, the laughter, and your kind words and of course your expertise in helping give my Mom her final wishes. Thank you to the Wellington Legion who provided the luncheon after the funeral service. Thank you to all the people who came for the visitation, the funeral, who gave flowers, cards, food and condolences. And last but not least to my family Peter, Dustin, Makenzine Claire, AJ, Makenzie Rae, Tanner, Cammy, Caitlyn, Doug, Sarah, Kim, Rick, Jacki, Shawna, Mikayla and Rory, thank you for everything you did to help me during a difficult time in my life, losing not only my Mom but my best friend. Gramma Salley would have been proud. Debbie Mattis.

Robinson, Douglas Bechtel

June 12, 2009 My life goes on without you But nothing is the same, I have to hide my heartache When someone speaks your name. Sad is the heart that loves you Silent are the tears that fall, Living without you is the hardest part of all. You did so many things for me Your heart was kind and true, And when I needed someone I could always count on you. The special years will not return When we were together, But with the love within my heart You will walk with me forever. Love always, Eleanor

ROBINSON, Elmer. In loving memory of my husband Elmer, who passed away June 16, 2013. Beyond my smile there lies a tear, For the husband I lost, and loved so dear. Wherever I am or whatever I do. Always dear Elmer, I’m thinking of you. Though the tears in my eyes may glisten And my face is not always sad. There is never a night or a morning That I do not think of the husband I had. Only those who have loved know how I feel At times it seems like my heart will never heal. When I look at your picture you seem to smile and say “Your broken heart will heal I know When we’re together again someday” Always loved and remembered by wife, Sandy

Festival offers opportunity to network

CHEESE, from page 3

“I like bringing people together who have the same passion I have … the magic of putting kindred spirits in one small space together is just incredible,” he said. Getting a taste of a bit of that magic on Saturday morning were Dan and Vickie Ouellette of nearby Bath. “This is our second time and we love coming here,” said Vickie. “It's great, there are spectacular cheese samples.” Dan said it's a chance for some new experiences for the couple, who've lived in the area for the last couple of years. “It's great to see the local products,” he said. Exhibitor Johwanna Alleyne of Mojo Jojo Pickles and Preserves came all the way from Edmonton, Alberta to attend the show after being contacted by Shelton. Alleyne said she decided to come despite not knowing anything about Prince Edward County. “(Shelton) was very welcoming,” she said. “I've never been to Picton, I didn't know Picton existed before I came here.” Alleyne said aside from spreading awareness of the

“We have very good reasons for hope toward finding a cure or at least trying to control the disease,” she said. “It is through the efforts and contributions of organizations such as the Canadian Cancer Society that help teams of basic scientists and clinicians alike to continue the endeavour to better understand cancer, to detect it earlier, and even to prevent it.” She said cancer researchers can't do all that without the help of organizations like the Canadian Cancer Society and the people who support them and fundraise each year. Relay for Life teams and the support of schools has helped the event expand its reach each year. The top five fundraising teams this year were Brooke's Donkeys with $56,710, Cancer Clippers with $4,300, Mutual Crusaders with $3,360, Black Crick Chicks and Friends with $3,108, and Brenda's Beauties with $3,000. Rhonda Ramsay said Brooke's Donkeys continue to walk in support of her daughter, Brooke, who succumbed to cancer in 2011. Brooke took part in Brighton's Relay for Life in

2011 with 35 team members raising over $80,000 and becoming the top fundraising team in Canada in 2011. Since then the team — consisting of family and friends — has continued to earn impressive support and for the last three years has walked in Prince Edward County. “We just have incredible friends and we treat it like a job,” said Ramsay. “We've had three fundraisers alone in May.” The team will be hosting another fundraising event July 25 at Sandbanks Summer Village.

humbling that people give so generously to the group in their efforts for Relay for Life. “We're humbled that, when we put the word out, everybody just gives,” she said. She said the event also helps the team members keep Brooke fresh in their minds and they look forward to participating in the Relay each year. While many marvelled at the way Brooke and others lived with cancer, events like Relay for Life bring with them hope that future generations won't have to.

STORYTELLER Suzanne Pasternak will be one of the performers sharing songs and stories about the history of South Marysburgh as part of the Alliance to Protect Prince Edward County’s heritage homes and wine tour May 22. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

APPEC to offer heritage homes and wine tour June 22 fundraiser to offer insights into South Marysburgh’s past

South Marysburgh has a varied and vibrant history and the Alliance to Protect Prince Edward County is hoping to showcase that Sunday, May 22. That day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. the group campaigning against industrial wind turbines in the area will be holding a heritage house and winery tour in the South Marysburgh ward. The tour will touch on the days of the United Empire Loyalist landing after the American Revolution and a naval history that featured schooners shipping barley abroad. The tour will also touch on South Marysburgh’s dairy farming history as well as some of the proud tradi-

tions that continue like the Mt. Tabour Playhouse, the Milford Fall Fair and other recreation events like the tree lighting, winter carnival, and Easter celebrations in Milford. The houses to be featured on the tour tell stories of families who lived in them and give visitors a suggestion of how life might have been in this county in the 19th Century. One of the houses is event set to be featured in the summer edition of County and Quinte Living magazine and, of course, tour visitors get a sneak preview of the house. Another was started in 1824 and not finished until 1886, illustrating the boom and bust cycles of local life. Another spot on Long

Point is an old house where new owners are working to restore the historic features of the house while trying to add some modern touches. The three wineries in South Marysburgh will be participating. At Long Dog, James Lahti will take guests on a tour of the historic buildings on the grounds and offer a special wine selection, exclusively for the tour. At Exultet on Royal Road, the Spinosa family will show how their building that was once a cheese factory is now used to produce wine and they’ll give a taste of some of their medal-winning beverages. Also, at Half Moon Bay, ticket holders can receive a sample red and white wine pairing with cheeses. At each of the homes and sites there may also be a sample of historic cuisine, such as fruit pie, peanut brittle, fresh fruit, or lemonade. A Loyalist tea prepared by the Friends of Macaulay House will be served at the historic Milford Town Hall from 2-5 p.m. Suzanne Pasternak and friends will sing songs and tell the history of the South Marysburgh community and its hall during the tea, which is included in the admission price. Tickets are $50 each and are available online at www.appec.ca or at Books & Company. Young adults between the ages of 12 and 18 who wish to accompany their parents will also be admitted free of charge. Passports with the information for the sites on th e tour and the various addresses will be available for pick up by the ticket holders at the Milford Town Hall at 9:30 a.m. on the day of the tour.

Real estate market

The real estate market can be a seller's friend or foe. Many sellers have a sale price in mind when they decide to sell their home, but the real estate market can be fickle, so homeowners should do their research before putting their home up for sale. Will the current market make it easier for you to get the most for your home, or will you have to settle for less than you prefer? How fast are similar homes in your area selling? When studying the real estate market, it's also a good idea to study the market for smaller homes. If you plan on moving into a condominium but the market is not flush with properties, you might end up paying more than you want to for your new home, which might negate the savings you can expect from downsizing.

Furniture

When downsizing to a smaller home, many couples realize their current furniture is unlikely to fit into a smaller home. That means couples will have to sell or donate their current furniture and then buy all new items for their new home. If it's been a while since you purchased new furniture, you might be in for some sticker shock on your first visit to the furniture store. Another thing to consider regarding your furniture is which items you simply can't live without. An antique dinner table might have been the centerpiece for your family holidays over the last several decades, but there's no guarantee it will fit into your smaller home. You may want to pass this down to your son or daughter, but that's only possible if he or she has the room for it. Before deciding to downsize, consider your attachment to certain items that you may or may not be able to take with you to your new home and the emotional toll that selling such items might take if you're left with no other options.

Older couples must consider a host of factors before deciding to downsize their homes.

Proximity to family

When downsizing to a smaller home, many couples move out of the suburbs and into cities or towns with more ready access to culture and restaurants. While that accessibility is great, grandparents may find that it comes at the cost of less time with their grandchildren. That's a steep price to pay for doting grandparents, and it may also impact your children if they frequently rely on grandma and grandpa for babysitting. Before downsizing, consider if you're willing to move further away from your family. If not, you likely can still find a smaller home in close proximity to your current home and any nearby family members.

Medical care

Many older men and women must also consider the effect that moving may have on their medical care. Downsizing to a home in the country may make it harder to maintain contact with your current physician, and rural areas typically have less medical practitioners than more densely populated towns and cities. In addition, if you have been visiting the same physician for years, you may not want to move and have to start all over again with a physician who is unfamiliar with your medical history. Consider how much maintaining your existing relationship with your physician means to you, and if your next home will provide the kind of access to medical care you're likely to need. Downsizing a home is not just about moving into a smaller property. To ensure you're making the right decision, many factors must be considered before downsizing. - MCC

The decision to downsize a home is often bittersweet. Many couples who downsize their homes do so after raising a family. A home might be filled with memories, but downsizing a home helps couples save more money, and that financial flexibility often allows men and women to more fully enjoy their retirement. But in spite of the financial impact of downsizing a home, there's more than just money at stake for homeowners thinking of downsizing their homes. The following are a handful of factors homeowners should consider before downsizing to a smaller home.

ARIES (Mar 21/Apr 20) Focus your energies in a positive way, Aries. You can accomplish anything you set your mind to, and now is the time to put your attitude to work. TAURUS (Apr 21/May 21) Taurus, you are ready for something or someone new. Right now is a good time to reach out and connect with a new passion. Things will get more interesting rather quickly. GEMINI (May 22/Jun 21) You need to focus and get back to work this week, Gemini. Things have slipped out of your fingers, and it could take a little while before you get back on a schedule. CANCER (Jun 22/Jul 22) Shop around for the best deals before making a big purchase, Cancer. A little extra work can lead to substantial savings. There are deals to be had, so be patient. LEO (Jul 23/Aug 23) Expect to reach a milestone in your life, Leo. This may have something to do with your family or career. Either way, the praise you will receive is warranted. VIRGO (Aug 24/Sept 22) Sometimes it can be easy for you to get fixated on a certain way of doing things, Virgo. There are really many different paths to the same outcome when you are open to ideas.

LIBRA (Sept 23/Oct 23) Libra, do not panic when a glitch arises in your plans. Just approach the situation from a different angle, and you will find a solution in no time. SCORPIO (Oct 24/Nov 22) Try not to push yourself too hard this week, Scorpio. This is a good time to maintain a low profile. Drawing too much attention to yourself might ruffle the wrong feathers this week. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23/Dec 21) Sagittarius, something will bring a smile to your face early in the week, and there's pretty much nothing that can put you in a bad mood. This is an ideal time to get things accomplished. CAPRICORN (Dec 22/Jan 20) You are never one to walk away from a challenge, Capricorn. This week you will be presented with a big obstacle, and you will have to step up to tackle the hard stuff. AQUARIUS (Jan 21/Feb 18) Keep your eyes open and you just may stumble on something new and fascinating this week, Aquarius. This is a good time to explore new ideas and apply them to your daily life. PISCES (Feb 19/Mar 20) Someone gets bent out of shape over something that seems laughable to you, Pisces. You may need to adjust your view.

LAST WEEK’S ANSWER

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