If you were to personify cancer as a boxer, you would see it coming to the ring faceless, wearing a black robe with black trunks and black shoes. A veteran pugilist that is quick and crafty, a bully, uncaring about an opponent, bent on winning at all costs and holds an impressive won-loss record with brave-yet-vanquished foes lying in its wake. But in spite of cancer constantly picking fights with the people around us, it is being stood up to time and time again. And that won-loss record, through a combination of technology & research, bravery & support, is starting to even out. The former champ is staggering and let it be said on Friday evening at the third annual Prince Edward County Relay for Life, over 70 teams (including 21 from PECI) put on their gloves, popped in a mouthguard and went toe-

very special people. You are living proof that cancer can be beaten. Watching you walk around the track in a sea yellow shirts gives us hope that was are getting close to living in a world where no Canadian will fear cancer,” she said. Among those teams taking part in the 12-hour event that runs the gamut in emotions, offering moments of irreverent hilarity, uplifting inspiration and sombre reflection, was an entry out of Brighton entitled Brooke's Donkeys. Named in honour of Brooke Ramsey, a teenager that succumbed to a rare form of brain cancer in August, 2011, the group was the top fundraising team in Canada last year, raising over $80,000. Her mother Rhonda, a County native, said the island community was one of Brooke's favourite places to visit and the team, who raised over $60,000 for the Prince Edward County version of the event this year, was excited to take part. “I know everyone is walking here tonight for someone they love or lost or hope to save from cancer,” Ramsey said.

For an athlete with goldmedal dreams, PECI's Cole Norton is taking his third= place finish in the midget boys long jump at the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) track and field meet in Brockville last weekend with ease. After obliterating the competition at the Bay of Quinte and Central Ontario meets in May, hopes ran high — perhaps too high — that Norton could be PECI's next Ontario champion, the first track athlete to complete the task for the local the high school in this Century. Those hopes were tempered by a pair of silvers (long jump, triple jump) and a bronze (100 m sprint) at the East Regionals two weeks ago in soggy conditions at the Thousand Islands track complex in Brockville but they remained. However, those hopes were ultimately extinguished (for this season, anyway) this past weekend as the grade nine athlete found out exactly where he stood amongst the best the province of Ontario has to offer. “It was totally 100 times better then I ever could have imagined,” Norton said of his first OFSAA experience. “It was larger then any other provincial meet I've ever been to and my results confirm my standing in Ontario.”

The complete cost of restoring Shire Hall is unknown after an unexpected overnight leak in the municipal building's tax department caused significant damage. The leak occurred overnight on June 7 causing the front entrance to be closed temporarily last Thursday and Friday. Although the final cost of the damage is unknown as crews are still working to dry out the floor, public works commissioner Robert McAuley, who was acting chief administrative officer at the time of the flooding, said the entire floor in the mayor’s office will need to be replaced. McAuley said the leak flowed down to the tax

Since February, a select group of Queen Elizabeth primary students have really looked forward to Tuesdays and Wednesdays. On those days, principal Bill Launderville explains, the students meet with their reading buddies from PECI’s Grade 11 working with children class. “It has been fantastic for our students,” he said. “They’re always smiling and asking me, ‘Is my reading buddy coming today?’’ Launderville said that early in the year, he sat down with teachers to select students who might benefit from some extra time spent with helpers to develop their reading and comprehension skills. Meanwhile, just down the street at PECI, teacher Suzanne White and teacher-librarian Susan Markle were prepping their students to recognize the strengths and weaknesses their young partners would be showing and how to work with them one-onone to be better readers. In February, they started to meet. Between then and now, the buddies have worked together on word cards, games, books, and even poetry. Markle explains it is a program she adapted 12 years ago from something she saw when she taught at an elementary school. In the model, parent volunteers came in to work with the students. This time, however, it represents a win-win learning experience for all involved. “It is a fantastic match, our students get real experience working with children,” she said. “It’s a bit of a contest, I know from talking to our reading coaches, they have benefitted hugely too. Their smiles when they come back, that

says it all.” One of those students is Bree Kerr, who has partnered with Grade 2 student Haley Conlin. She said she learned how to work with her young partner. “It’s been really enjoyable but different than I expected,” she said. “I learned a lot about Haley and that helped make her more comfortable. I learned encouraging her and being patient helps and she really likes horse books.” Kerr said those skills she used will help her to what she hopes will be a career working with children or teens, and in fact, are life skills that could help anyone with a family situation. Her buddy also says she benefitted a lot. “It was awesome. She makes me read,” she said. Kerr’s classmate, Morgan Webb, said she

enjoyed being able to make lesson plans and picking out reading material based on her partner Katelyn Austin’s needs. She’s looking to become a teacher, but noted it’s a bit different working one-on-one and building a rapport with just one buddy. Webb said she also saw Austin make some great improvements. “Before we started, she didn’t know her alphabet. Now, she knows it by heart and we’re reading books with small words.” Austin nodded her head with confidence when asked if she felt Webb helped her to read better. On Tuesday, the young buddies welcomed their parents to meet their reading partners and to see some of the word cards, books, and poems they’d been reading. Both Launderville and

Markle said they received feedback from parents that indicates their goals for the program are being achieved and the students are developing confidence. “We've seen improvements not only in their reading abilities, but their social interaction and confidence,” said Launderville. “They love to read. Right now, It has they're eager to read, been a great partnership we've had with the high school, it's been huge.” He said he was really high pleased to see the school students have a prac tical, real-world application to their studies that has to made a lasting difference his own students.

The rains have swept through, the sun is shining and things are growing in Prince Edward County. You can add the annual Gardner's Gala in with those items in bloom as the show hosted by the Prince Edward County Horticultural Society featured a swell in attendance this year. Taking place at the Crystal Palace on Saturday, all things green and growing were addressed at the show which took its inspiration for the 2012 edition from history. Entitled 'From County to Country' the show took a historical slant, offering an official opening procession led by a bagpiper that featured a town crier, God save the Queen and a toast to the Queen's 60-year

Looking back in the

Picton Gazette 80 years ago — 1932

■ Garnet Tayler’s white leghorns led the way in the 31st week of the 13th Canadian Egg Laying Contest in Ottawa with 56 eggs. Overall, his pen was sitting in third place having laid 1,208 eggs overall, leading among the white leghorn entries in the contest. ■ Local agricultural representative F. J. Webster told cheesemakers that more farmers should begin more active cowtesting programs, like those he described from industry-leading Denmark. ■ A car carrying three men spun off the road in Bloomfield and caused an unusual amount of damage, breaking a metal sign post , smashing a telephone post, and eventually hitting a house, which it moved more than a foot off its foundation. The driver faced charges of negligent driving and intoxication.

50 years ago — 1962

■ An early morning fire destroyed the home of Bruce Thompson and his family of six people in Cherry Valley. Thompson smelled the smoke and woke up, clearing his family from the blaze to the home of a neighbour. The Camp Picton fire department and nearly 100 villagers responded to their call for help, but it was too late as the home and all of their possessions were consumed. The cause wasn’t known. ■ About 55 people were in attendance as Prince Edward County teachers hosted an all-candidates’ rally at Queen Elizabeth School. It was reported the teachers had some tough questions for the men running in the federal election campaign. ■ At a Progressive Conservative strawberry social in Napanee, Ontario’s highways minister W.

Going somewhere else to see new things

Readers are well aware of my opinion on the wind turbine issue. I have written about it several times. However, it is an issue that I don’t get too involved in as I tend to stay away from issues that involve mudslinging and schoolyard name-calling. Why can’t opposing parties have an informed exchange of opinions without being referred to as “windies” or “anti-winds”. It’s disrespectful of differing opinions and suggests that we are so illiterate that we must resort to childish name calling. This is why, on a recent bus tour I had the pleasure of leading, I backed out of what started as a reasonable dialogue about dandelions. As we stood outside gazing over a dandelion-free lawn, and I extolled the virtues of the dandelion as a tasty ingredient in salads, the perpetrator suddenly went off on his own tirade about dandelions spreading from lawns where weed sprays are no longer permitted and being allowed to spread onto agricultural fields. When I used to farm, we never gave dandelions a second thought; we had more serious invasive weeds to worry about. The conversation was going quite well actually, more of a friendly jousting than anything else. Then he used the term “treehuggers”, and that’s when I backed away and boarded the bus. This person had used up his limited vocabulary, and now it was time for name calling. The incident was forgotten as I re-immersed myself in the light-hearted banter that was already underway in the bus. I enjoy my work as a step on guide for bus tours that come into our area, and I do quite a few through the year. Despite all the guided hikes

that I also do as a professional naturalist, I tend to put on weight, as each bus tour involves a hearty meal at either the Waring House Inn in Picton or the Restaurant on the Knoll near Sandbanks for this is where many of the tours begin, or take a break midway through the day. Two weeks ago, it was a luxurious coach from Toronto with almost 50 on board, some of whom had never been to our area. I have a regular route that I take them on, visiting wineries, Sandbanks, Lake on the Mountain and Black River Cheese. That day, we bumped into another tour bus from the same Torontobased tour company, aptly being led by Picton resident Gilles Miramontes. Gilles is an excellent choice and knows the local history well. It seemed we had the same route planned, but were going in opposite directions. Lake on the Mountain had never seen so many people before, all at one time. There are probably 40 to 50 tour buses that come into our area every year. And with over 30 wineries in the area and a plethora of other attractions, that number is sure to

increase. It was during my tenure as a park naturalist at Sandbanks many years ago, when I suddenly realized that, until then, I had taken our local attractions for granted. It probably took 30 or more queries from campers about Lake on the Mountain for me to realize that, but it did happen eventually. We are all guilty of that, and no matter where one lives, there are features and landscapes that most of us have grown up with, but other visitors want to see. I never tire of talking about the Napanee River’s famous “tides”, or Presqu’ile’s tombolo, or the Holleford Crater, or Frankford’s two-billion-yearold, seven-metre-high glacial erratic. These are all special places and visitors to our area want to see these things, the same as we want to see attractions when we visit new areas. We are losing many of these special places to development and now is the time to see them before it is too late. We tend to think these special places are protected, and some do manage through legislation or special designation. But at the end of the day, few places are really safe, for legislation can be bought, if the price is right. Never before has there been so much interest in learning and seeing our natural and cultural attractions and this is reflected in tour companies being fully booked during the entire operating season. Check out some of the birding specialty tours, bus tours, and others online. With many of these, one needs to move quickly if they want a spot. Friend Joel Coutu from Montreal always has a full group and they travel to the Quinte area frequently. At least a couple birding tour

companies from Ottawa offer specialty tours to this area, and all are always quite full. Two years ago, I was hired to provide four private tours of Prince Edward County for couples from Los Angeles, Edmonton, Colorado and Pickering. In each case it was a filler, to fill in a day, between visits to Niagara Falls and the Montreal area. The Internet is filled with tour companies and leaders vying for attention, and by just using the “click and pick” method, can establish an itinerary within minutes. Another retired friend of mine from the Toronto area started his business through a query from Australia. “Have you ever been to Antarctica?” the caller asked. “No, but I’ve seen it on the map,” my friend retorted. He has since done several trips to Antarctica, has written a resource guide about the continent, and has since moved on to tours to Brazil, Borneo, Norway, Galapagos, and Venezuela through his business Avocet Nature Services. People are on the move, visiting new places, and seeing new things. They are riding bicycles, mules, horses, buses, kayaks, canoes, white water rafts, cars, trains, and are hiking, like never before. How I got caught up in all this, is but a blurred memory now, but in my “retirement”, I am glad to be aboard. And I will even talk about dandelions, provided we can keep the discussion on a level playing field. For more information on today’s topic, please e-mail tsprague@kos.net or phone 613-476-5072.

Council needs better way to deal with exotic animal bylaw

IT is good that Prince Edward County is being proactive in ensuring that exotic animals are not mishandled and abused within its borders, but one must wonder if they are taking their bylaws too far in the name of consistency. In the past, such groups as Quinte Conservation have brought in traveling shows to expose young summer campers to animals like snakes, including those that are native to Ontario and beyond. Through their shows, trained herpetologists have shown their young pupils useful information about how to approach snakes and other reptiles and how to handle them safely. The presentations appear to convey useful information about how youth can become interested in the environment around them and how to properly respect, rather than kill species they are not too sure about — and firsthand information is always more valuable than watching on television or reading out of a book. It stands to reason that if an organization such as a conservation authority, dedicated to preserving species and leaving them unharmed is in favour of such shows that the potential for harm to the animals has been thoroughly investigated and considered not an issue. It would seem reasonable that public libraries would truly have the interest of education in mind, rather than trying to produce some kind of spectacle which serves no benefit except to amaze or impress those in the audience. Perhaps instead of trying to rule on an area they likely aren’t experts in and shutting down all avenues for showing exotic animals to eliminate the possibility of one undesirable application being approved, County councillors could look to the resources they have in their own backyard to examine the requests for exemption and either accept them or reject them out of hand based on the recommendations of people directly responsible for the care, protection, and treatment of animals. Council could look to Quinte Conservation and Conservation Ontario as well as the Ontario Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, all public organizations operating in the province to provide advice on scoring the requests and, perhaps, to come up with a list of reputable exhibitors who would be allowed to bring a demonstration into the county that meets an acceptable standard of care for the animals affected. Perhaps, also, municipal officials can look to neighbouring municipalities to see what they have experienced and how they have tackled this issue to balance the need for education with the very real concerns of residents that no animals be harmed in the way they’re transported and handled or in the way that they’re exhibited. It is important that youth have an understanding of what animals exist in the world around them and have a real-world appreciation of those animals. It behooves council to find a way to ensure they receive opportunities whenever they can be reasonably provided without causing undue harm.

Week-long yard sale one of many library fundraisers

A week-long yard sale being billed as the “Upstairs upscale thrift shop” is being held upstairs at Books and Company in Picton from Saturday, June 16 to Saturday June 23. The sale is a fundraiser for the County of Prince Edward Public Library & Archives. Featuring nearly new, some new, and gently used items, it will include everything from small furnishings to vintage pieces, and all at great prices. “We have received some wonderful donations,” says CEO Barbara Sweet, “and we are so fortunate to have had the space to hold the sale generously donated by Books & Company.” The library continues to gratefully accept donations of nearly new and unique items stressing that it is looking for quality versus quantity. Items will be added daily during the sale so that shoppers will find new treasures throughout the week. Donations can be dropped off upstairs at the bookstore. The sale is one of a number of planned library fundraisers. There have been and continue to be library book sales throughout the County, including ongoing ones at the old Emporium building in Milford across from the Milford branch, in Picton’s Armoury Mall, and downstairs at the Picton branch. As well a special one-day gift quality book sale is scheduled at the Bloomfield Town Hall on July 7. Another major upcoming fundraiser is a presentation by gardening expert, author, and Globe and Mail columnist Marjorie Harris who will be speaking at the Regent Theatre on garden design July 21. Tickets are $10 and available at the theatre box office. The new “Party at the Library” program is a fundraiser where the library hosts themed birthday parties for children making the event both unique for children and less work for parents. Contact Liz at 613-476-5962 or youth@peclibrary.org for details. Monthly movies are offered in Wellington and most recently added at the

InsIde the lIbrary CHRISTINE RENAUD

Ameliasburgh Town Hall for families and while these are free, the sale of snacks at the movies helps the library as well. While most events and programs continue to be free so as to be accessible to everyone, donation jars will be found at some events to provide an opportunity for those who wish to make a donation to do so. “A wide range of programs is offered for free at the library, including adult learning opportunities such as computer training, French language groups, and ‘Tea & Talk for seniors,’” says Sweet. “Children’s programs such as the current “Baby Bounces and Books” classes and our upcoming summer program filled with things for children to do each week in July and August continue to serve families free of charge as well.” Donations help make more of these types of programs possible. “While we continue our commitment to the mandate of public libraries in supporting literacy and access to lifelong learning for everyone,” says Sweet, “we acknowledge the ongoing need to raise funds whenever possible to help us in providing quality programs. The library seeks to work in partnership with others in the community to help raise funds, too, and anyone with ideas for fundraising projects is invited to contact Barbara Sweet at 613-476-5962 or by e-mail: bsweet@peclibrary.org

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Change must come through democratic process

Brian Flack is correct that democracy is being assaulted but he is incorrect in believing that the perpetrators of this assault are politicians. The assault on democracy is coming from the students and their supporters in Quebec encouraged, it would seem, by .Flack. A vast majority of the Quebec population were in sympathy with the proposal to raise university fees, the lowest of any in the country, coupled with increases in loans and bursaries to maintain accessibility for students unable to pay. Flack may recall that in negotiations the government offered to spread the increase over seven years from the original five. The students rejected that offer and demanded that there never be an increase in fees and that all post-secondary education be free. Since then the

30 per cent of students supporting the demonstrations, have resorted to the politics of the mob and have been joined by others demanding an unrealistic utopia of free services with no regard for the financial position of the province. Such actions were major contributors to the collapse of the Greek and other European economies. As part of their tactics the 30 per cent of the students and the supporting mob have prevented students who wish to continue with their studies from doing so by blocking colleges and universities: entering lecture halls to physically threaten students: ignored court injunctions to continue such harassment. The subway has been disrupted by the use of smoke bombs, vehicles shops and other businesses have been set on fire and vandalized and police have been assaulted.

The jobs of Montreal workers are threatened by warnings of actions during the Grand Prix and other summer festivals leading to a significant reduction in tourist bookings for events which have taken years to popularize and will take years to recover. Most disturbing, death threats were made to Jacques Villeneuve, who had the temerity to suggest that the protests at The Grand Prix were counterproductive and damaged the image of the City of Montreal. Flack is also correct that the protests are no longer only about tuition increases. One protestor was quoted as saying “The Grand Prix is a capitalist enterprise and I don’t like capitalism”. There are a number of things in our system that need to be changed but change must come through the political process and not

by violent means. The Canadian Constitution allows for peaceful protest. It does not allow for mob rule. If you want to make changes join the political part and if you want changes to thy platform work within that party to make the change.Vote and encourage others to do so. Elections with very low turnouts are a real threat to our democracy. The law introduced in Quebec setting rules for demonstrations is certainly very heavy handed but society is entitled to protect itself from violent mob rule. Change must come through the democratic system and not through the barrel of a gun: that way quickly leads to anarchy and the breakdown of civil society. Peter Hilton Demorestville

OHIP physiotherapy program earns high marks

It is not often that government receives kudos for its efforts on behalf of the public, however the “Physio Fit Stretch & Strength & Balance” program offered by OHIP merits high praise, indeed. As the title implies, the program’s purpose is to keep seniors fit and in our own homes for as long as possible. Trained physiotherapists assess each participant’s fitness level at the outset and follow up with reassessment after a few months to measure progress. The instructors are very knowl-

edgeable and excellent at their jobs, vigilant of our individual limitations and take time to advise and assist when necessary. We are advised to partake only in exercise that is within our comfort level and to ignore the old adage “no pain, no gain”! Impressive attendance by participants, aged mid60s to mid-90s, gives testimony to the popularity of the program and there is no shortage of determination or enthusiasm based on the canes and walkers parked outside the meeting room

door! In addition to the physical benefits to body and brain, we enjoy the added bonuses of fellowship and humour. While performing our workouts together, we see (and hear!) that our infirmities and limitations are shared by others, thereby lightening the burden and allowing us to laugh at our inadequacies – a psychological plus! The program, introduced to Picton’s Westwind condominium complex a couple of months ago, runs several onsite classes per

week providing us the flexibility to attend as many classes as we are inclined or able, and the price is right: there is no charge for participants aged sixty-five and older and only a small fee for those younger. I am taking the liberty of speaking for others, several of whom I have contacted for input, in expressing heartfelt appreciation to the Ministry of Health and Long-term Care under the OHIP umbrella. Bravo.

I notice the County has run an ad in several local newspapers advising us that "Signs that are not in compliance with the sign bylaw will be removed." Is this a thinly veiled program to rid the county of all the "Naturally Green" anti-wind-factory signs that have sprouted up all over the place? It seems many want to announce their position against wind factories by placing these signs at the front of their

property. I went to the web site where the official rules governing placement of these signs is supposed to be located (www.pecounty.on.ca), but the information was not accessible. I have heard that if the sign is not one metre back from the green house number sign on the property, it will be removed. I wonder if the Canadian flag that I have placed on top of the green house number sign on my property will be removed by

this group because it is "attached to County -owned road signs," despite the longstanding tradition here of placing a Canadian flag in this position during the weeks leading up to Canada Day. This program seems like it may be motivated by the several wind energy companies operating here that are unhappy with local residents expressing their desire to prevent wind factories from being built in

thecounty. It's ironic that an official department of the County could be forced into compliance in supporting this when, as far as I can tell, County government has officially expressed that it is not in support of wind factories. I suggest that if the Naturally Green signs are removed by the County, there should be some citizen backlash.

MacKenzie hopes to use familiarity to county strategically

New Taste CEO looks to build brand Chad Ibbotson Staff writer

The new face of Taste the County is hoping to build on partnerships and reinforce brands. New Taste the County chief executive officer Jeremiah MacKenzie gave a deputation to council Tuesday night where he spoke of his excitement in coming home and taking on the top job with the marketing organization. MacKenzie is familiar with the county. He grew up here and attended C.M.L. Snider School in Wellington before heading to Albert College in Belleville. “For as long as I can remember there's always been a sense of excitement at the thought of coming home,” MacKenzie told councillors. “Today is no different. I'm excited to return to the county and assume this position at Taste the County.” The position was left unfilled with the departure of Kathy Kennedy in February. MacKenzie said he has always focused his career on finding “interesting and innovative ways to deliver a meaningful message.” “I've done it as a policy advisor, a business development officer, a company president and now as a representative for my childhood home in Prince Edward County,” he said. “I'm here to leverage my experience, success, and genuine desire to let everyone know how wonderful it is to discover one of the most beautiful destinations in this entire country.” Taste the County was founded by a group of entrepreneurs in 1998 who identified the need for an organization to assist with marketing and economic growth in the county. Today the organization markets partner products and services, offers management and marketing for county events, advocates for the regional initiatives and offers consulting services related to event and project management, fundraising and marketing. MacKenzie comes with a background that varies from marketing health and wellness products to building brands through events, and managing large events across North America. “I've been fortunate throughout my career to have worked on the international stage at times with some of the brightest minds and most distinguished friends,” he said. “Public and private sector opportunities have been instrumen-

tal in my professional development. I truly look forward to getting to know all the partners and learn how to work best together, most effectively.” He said open and clear communication would be instrumental in the organization's success moving forward and said he hopes to continue to collaborate with partners to celebrate the county's charms. MacKenzie said he hopes to strengthen the county's brand and would like to build on solid initiatives like the Arts and Taste Trails. In order to achieve those goals MacKenzie said he will be surrounding himself with the best people possible.

“We're in something incredibly special here. After meeting with the board of Taste the County and after learning about the hard work and determination of our partners, I believe I'm following the advice of my grandfather who lived in Wellington and I'm surrounding myself with talented and passionate people,” he said. He said a position at Taste the County offers him the chance to be part of a talented and diverse team. “I'm grateful and honoured to take on this role and I truly believe that together we can achieve the most ambitious goals,” he said.

Huff builds a destination based on his passion for producing fine wine

We moved to the county three years ago just for the wine but were named the area representatives for the Opimian Society of Canada (Canada's largest private wine buying group) just a couple months later! Now,instead of just enjoying county wines, we were going to introduce Opimian members from Kingston to Port Hope (including the county) wines from all over the world that are not available in the LCBO. Well, we decided to introduce Opimian Members to wines in the county! For the past three years we have done exactly that. Every year we hold a wine tasting in the county and visit six local wineries. For the past couple years we have rented the Inn at

Sippin’ in tHe county JOE HACHE

Huff Estates and that's where we're going to visit this week. Lanny Huff is the owner

and president of Huff Estates and was born and raised in Prince Edward County and has called it home ever since. A chemical engineer by trade, Huff has spent a great deal of his life in the plastics industry. He has also always had a passion for travel and, of course, fine wine and once Prince Edward County was recognized as a grape growing region Lanny did not hesitate to combine these passions of his and create Huff Estates. Huff Estates’ grand opening was in June of 2004 and the modern facility was constructed with one thing in mind, producing high quality wines. Huff’s state-of-theart facility has the grape processing area and fermentation tanks sitting on top of a hill allowing for a natural

gravity flow into a temperature controlled barrel cellar below which sits just behind the tasting room. Huff Estates has two different vineyards. The first is a 15-acre plot that is located at the estate and surrounds the winery, inn and Oeno Gallery. The soil at this site is composed of Ameliasburg clay loam and limestone, a unique terroir which lends to a nice acidity and minerality in the wines which is common character found in county grown wines. Pinot gris, Pinot noir as well as hybrids such as Vidal and Frontenac gris are grown at this site. The north-south vine alignment and slope allows for a good sun exposure and optimal ripening. The second vineyard is located on a small peninsula in the southeastern corner of the county surrounded by Lake Ontario, South Bay, and is the ideal site for growing grapes. The soil is composed of clay loam, shale loam and limestone. Oak trees line the vineyard forming a natural wind break and that coupled with the temperate climate generated by the two large bodies of watermake this location ideal for various styles of wines such as Cabernet franc, Merlot, Pinot noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot gris. Huff is very forward thinking. Not content with just having a winery he has also added an inn and a gallery and has thus created a destination, within the destination of Prince Edward County. In 2006, he expanded the

estate and constructed the 21-suite Inn at Huff Estates. This luxurious accommodation is again very contemporary in design but has a country feel as the rooms either overlook the vineyard or the garden feature. Our Opimian group has rented all 21 rooms each of the last two years and have rented it for next year already. Oeno Gallery has had a long term of success in Prince Edward County and the Huff Estates team was ecstatic to add it to the property in 2009. The gallery offers fine contemporary art and sculptures from local, national and international artists. Frédéric Picard was born in Burgundy and was destined to be a winemaker. He originally received his MBA from Concordia University and decided to follow his calling into winemaking and went on to complete his winemaking/oenology degree from the famed Lycee

Corrections Advisory Board making a difference during a time of change

AdAmâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;BRAmBuRgER

Staff writer

It has been a year of change for the Prince Edward Corrections Advisory Board, yet it has had no problem maintaining and increasing its efforts to reduce the likelihood of repeat offences. At its annual meeting, chairman Bill Edwards shared the board had hired its first executive director, Kerry Cole, who had been acting manager previously. It also hired Stacey Scott to fill a new contract position as youth justice co-ordinator, creating a strong staff partnership. â&#x20AC;&#x153; Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a dynamic duo,â&#x20AC;? said Edwards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re complementing each other and working together very nicely accomplishing things.â&#x20AC;? With the two staff members, the board was able to revamp some of its programming. Cole noted the board actually saw an increase in the numbers it serves this year. The board handled 11 adult community service orders, surpassing its targets and six youth community service clients. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Through placement, our clients are able to give back to the community and repair the harm caused by their offending behaviour,â&#x20AC;? she said. The board continued to offer its adult diversion program for those convicted of

KERRYâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;COLE

minor offences to repair the harm they did. Upon completion of the program, their charges are either withdrawn or stayed. Cole said the program isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t funded, but continues to be valued, so it is offered. The bulk of the programming is youth-related, and Cole said the board dealt with five times the referrals it dealt with last year. That may not seem like much, given that there were only three referrals a year ago, but Cole said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a positive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting back on track, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re growing and helping more youth over the past year and we will continue in the years to come,â&#x20AC;? said Cole. With the co-operation of probation services and the Ministry of Child and Youth Services, the board also developed a new conflict resolution program for medium- and low-risk young offenders, and Cole said the 10 young men involved thus far seemed to be benefitting. In fact, one probation officer at the

boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s AGM last Thursday told the story of one participant who used the skills he learned to avoid a fight and more charges. In 2011-2012, the board received four referrals for a youth justice committee which connect youth charged with minor crimes with their victims and facilitate a plan to make right for the harms caused. Also this year, Scott overhauled the substance abuse program so the youth could relate to it better. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of several initiatives the board supported in drug prevention over the past year, including work with the local narcotics committee and partners from the Prince Edward Family Health Team and the OPP. The committee had a narcotics disposal campaign and also brought in Rick Osborne to talk to local high school students about the dangers of drugs and gangs. At the board level, the organization also saw changes. Former OPP detachment commander Bernie Gaw came on board as vice-chairman and Ken Campbell also joined the board. Members Judge John Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Flynn, Bruce Ferguson, and George Kingsley moved on. This year, under the direction of Robert Ord, the board revised its bylaws. At the meeting, defence lawyer Joanne Hurley told the board of the high esteem the legal community holds its actions in. Hurley said a lot of the people she works with are ordinary people who have

Edwards said the upcoming years may present challenges for the board if it is displaced from Benson Hall by the residential hospice project as affordable rent there helps to stretch government and court-ordered funding as much as possible. With few affordable locations in Picton and the likelihood of a higher rent location, he worries the board may have to spend more money on its operating costs in the future.

Hurley shared the story of one woman she defended who was charged with a myriad of offences. A judge reluctantly sentenced her to many hours of community service and with the help of board staff, she completed her hours enthusiastically and willingly. She stayed friends with her supervisor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bottom line is these women and their organization have made a difference in the lives of people in this community,â&#x20AC;? she said.

made a mistake, while others are â&#x20AC;&#x153;lost soulsâ&#x20AC;? who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to stay out of trouble. Often, that latter group is troubled, hostile, and does not expect to be treated with kindness, respect, or empathy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They trust no oneâ&#x20AC;Ś .until a judge orders them into â&#x20AC;&#x153;diversionâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;community serviceâ&#x20AC;? and straight into the grasp of Maureen Finnegan, Betty Lee, Penny Cole, or Kerry Cole,â&#x20AC;? she said. Hurley said in her experience she has yet to defend anyone who hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t benefitted from their involvement with the board and its programming. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have never acted for any PECAB â&#x20AC;&#x153;graduatesâ&#x20AC;? who have not benefited enormously from their association, albeit not entirely voluntary, with these four women,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They tell me that whilst firm, these women have treated them with dignity, respect and kindness. Hurley said in her experience many of the people who have been referred to work with the board end up staying in touch with its employees after the fact. She said thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a testament to the transformative nature of the work that it does. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because they know they can count on these ladies to help and support them like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never been able to count on anyone before,â&#x20AC;? she concluded.

One-man show Stringman explores musician’s journey of loss and healing Playwright draws on experiences to develop character AdAm BrAmBurger Staff writer

Often, life can’t be planned for. It’s a journey that veers and wanders and people are often left to discover how to deal with it. Loss can often be one of the most profound changes, one that is among the toughest to come to grips with. Conrad Beaubien’s one-man play Stringman brings the audience right into the struggle through the actions of musician Oscar James, ably played by Rick Zimmerman. As he takes the stage, the audience sees a very troubled man as James poured his whole life into his music, yet he finally found someone he loved more than his craft. In a matter of minutes she was gone. “In many ways, it’s the simplest of stories: Guy has girl, guy loses girl,” said Zimmerman. “We’re dealing with how complex it can be and how troubled we can be. We all do this shit, we go back and forth trying to figure things out, not being able to explain ourselves.” At that moment to start the show at the Tall Poppy Café, James was fairly troubled. His thoughts were scattered, his mind racing, and Zimmerman said he really didn’t know where he was in his life. He buried himself in routine. “When we meet him at the start, he’s been doing a lot of work. Ask anybody, in a therapeutic sense, we have to do the work to get to a therapeutic stage,” he said. “Oscar’s done a big piece of work. He’s not there yet, he doesn’t

understand what he knows.” Zimmerman said, hopefully, by the end of the show, through a number of reflections on his life, the hope is that the audience sees a man who found his centre and figured it out — and indeed it does. Through his songs and storytelling, Zimmerman show ed a story of courage and perseverance to ultimately stick with it and find what makes his life work. Beaubien said he initially developed the story about a year-and-a-half ago, waking up at 5 a.m. daily to write and journey with his character James, who told him the story as it happened.

Just over a year ago, with Zimmerman’s efforts on stage and John Burns’ direction, Beaubien was able to see that character personified, yet he felt there was still more to discover. That discovery came from Beaubien walking a similar path as his character James did over the past year, after he suddenly and unexpectedly lost his daughter Anna. “I have gone through a very personal and profound journey of the loss of another child, 26 years old, very special to me, and lost very suddenly,” he said. “This draft is what I’d already set out on, but I

understood some elements in a more profound way and understood the journey,” he said. “ What do we reach for when moments like this happen in our lives? How do we find ourselves? That’s what I hope to present in the character of Oliver Jones.” Beaubien said that reflection resulted in some interesting evolutions and a walk he had under the starry sky near his home actually helped him to develop the conclusion of James’ journey. Zimmerman admitted it’s a bit difficult to get on stage himself and share that inner struggle without the help of other actors to play off of. “It’s a nice tough,” he said. “It is tough because you have to compartmentalize the fear of completely just falling off a cliff and not knowing what's going to happen or how it's going to react. You have to take that, it's a normal thing.” He said the trick is being able to keep the different scenes in his life in order. Zimmerman is helped along in this performance with the music of John Kitchen on a second stage, carrying along the songs of James’ life that Zimmerman starts on the guitar. It is also helped by a neat multimedia display featuring the photography of Graham Davies and animation by Iven Simonetti. Penny Kitchen offers a special singing appearance. Director Burns said he felt it was very important to restage the play in memory of Anna and to support Conrad as he moves on to tell James’ tale. The show drew

Healthy living was the focus of a 4-H club in Milford, which recently took on a new project. For six weeks, a group of 13 members took part on the Body Works group led by leaders Barb Insley and Angela Miller. According to the club’s youth leader and reporter Megan Insley, the group was able to fit a number of activities in over that time frame. “We got to try a lot of new things — healthy eating, physical activity, karate, yoga, and how to care for your skin and hair,” she said. One week, Insley said the club touched on self esteem by doing a group exercise where they sat in a circle and said good things about themselves and their fellow members. “That was one of my

For some, it was a new experience to try the granola. Another night, Insley said guests came into teach a new

style of yoga — laughing yoga — which was almost as silly as it sounds s well as traditional yoga. Another, Cheryl and Alexi Moggridge led a karate workout. During the hair and skin care meeting, the club invited a guest speaker from Pharma Plus to talk about skin care and sunscreen, offering a few interesting tips. For example, Insley said she learned that SPF 30 sunscreen lowers to about SPF 15 when it is spread on the skin. One of the other members remembered learning that

Codie Goodman said she liked the message behind the program. “We learned to work on our self confidence by saying good things about ourselves, or friends, and our fellow club members.” The group wrapped up its activities with an achievement night, which was spent playing Just Dance on the Wii and eating healthy snacks. -Staff

Leading Panthers love to play for their school Wood, Williams, Philip named PECI’s top senior athletes AdAm BrAmBurger

Staff writer

The pulse of a school athletic year is easily tracked in wins and losses, in triumphs and misses, in lessons learned after classes at practice, and in memorable road trips. Behind all the statistics and clippings, however, there's something more intangible than the latest trip to OFSAA, COSSA medal, or playoff appearance and that's the contributions and development of the people who made it happen. On Tuesday, PECI recognized that at its annual athletic awards, where individual contributors received their due as Panthers. Rob Garden, a basketball coach at the school, said when teachers sit down to determine team and major award winners, even they can't help being impressed by students' dedication. "When we sit down as coaches, Mrs. Reynolds is gracious enough to provide a list of athletes who have participated in two or three or more sports and we're always amazed by the number of you who end up on those lists," he said. This year's co-winners of the female athlete of the year, Stacy Williams and Chelsie Wood, award know all too well what it means to be involved in highschool sport, after all, each has played five during her time at PECI. They said there's a lot to be gained being involved. "It's developing leadership and friendship," said Williams, who started out in Grade 9 playing hockey and rugby and throwing for the track and field team. "You learn a lot of new skills." A hard hitter on the pitch and a strong skater on the ice, Williams led her chosen teams throughout her career at PECI and was most valuable player for both rugby and hockey. She also picked up a number of medals at the track. Just to add to her enjoyment, Williams gave volleyball a try last year and took up badminton in this, her final year. Wood said being involved in a sports opened the door to more experiences for her.

(Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

"You work with a lot of different coaches and a lot of the people in sports are really diverse — you meet a whole new group of people on every team," she said. "The coaches are really helpful, they want to help you if you show an interest." Wood started slowly in

Grade 9 by just playing soccer, she added hockey in Grade 10 and then cross country in Grade 11. This year, she added track and field and badminton as well. "I just wanted to keep trying different things," she said, adding many of her teams may not have been

the best ones in the area, but they had dedicated groups of athletes who wanted to play and who had fun being involved together. Laurie Spencer, who coached both girls in hockey, said both girls earned a lot of respect in the school for their apti-

tude in combining athletics and academics. She said Wood's fitness was incredible and Williams' natural skill seemed to transfer to any sport. Their peers seemed to recognize the impact both had as athletes. "Both of these athletes, even in a Grade 12 boys

phys ed class were picked first for teams a lot of the time. That speaks to the type of athletes they are." Next fall, Wood will be going to Ghana with a group from Brock University to work with young children, then she will continue her interest in athletics by studying kinesiology at the St. Catharines school. She said she plans to continue playing hockey. After following a busy sporting career, highlighted by a trip to Europe to play hockey last summer than many at the school supported, Williams said she'll slow down her athletic career while focusing on nursing studies at Loyalist College, though she'll still play some hockey. The girls, who said it felt rewarding to be recognized for all the under-the-radar work they put into their chosen sports had one piece of advice for younger students interested in sport. "Don't be shy. Go play,' said Williams. Adds Wood: "Just go out and try it and have fun. We have pretty good coaches here and they'll help a lot." The senior male athlete of the year agreed as he said in just three years at PECI, he's been able to take a lot from competing in hockey, basketball, track and field, and soccer. "You meet so many people in sports, I don't know how to describe it. All my friends are athletes too — the people you play with are the people you get to know the best," said Tyler Philip. "It means a lot to me. I've always lived in the county. I've never played for any team other than in the county. I just love playing sports." The multi-talented Philip was one of the leaders on the soccer team that just returned from OFSAA in North Bay and a vocal role player on the basketball team. On the hockey rink, he was looked upon by his peers inside and outside the school as he captained the Prince Edward County Kings midget team and is presently trying out for the Picton Pirates. He said he's eager to return to PECI next year and contribute more in those sports. "In basketball and soccer, we will have a lot of the same guys. We have good teams in both sports," he said. "There's a lot of talent in Grade 11 and 12. “

Panthers teams name their most valuable, dedicated, and improved athletes of past year Coming from a small town, we all know each other and everyone plays everything with each other. There's some of the best team bonding there, we all bond." Vice-principal Paul Pickard, who coached Philip in soccer this summer, said he exemplifies dedication, desire, determination, and discipline every time he puts on the uniform. Cailey Jones and Bob Wilson earned the honours as top junior athletes this year. Soccer coach Jennifer Lyons said sport has also been a big part of Jones' life, demonstrated by her winning the most dedicated player award for the soccer and basketball teams. "Not only does she bring her athletic ability to every sport she plays, she also brings her huge heart and great sense of humour to the track, to the field, or to the basketball court," Lyons said. "It says a lot about the kind of young woman Cailey Jones is." Wilson was a two-sport athlete, but his baseball coach Matt Ronan noted he did both at a very high level this season. "He's probably one of the strongest basketball players in the Bay of Quinte and was MVP on the Panthers team, "said Ronan. "As a baseball player, he was a No. 3 hitter on the team, he came through in countless occasions in the clutch and pitched very well. We look forward to having him for the next two to three years here at the school." The Grade 9 female athlete of the year was Danielle Willis, whom Garden said in basketball, soccer, and track and field (as well as softball outside of the school) is a fierce competitor who never shies away from challenges, is coachable, and always works to improve. The freshman male athlete of the year was Grayson St. Pierre, who played volleyball and was described as a natural with the javelin by track coach Beth Nicholls, who noted a late season injury likely prevented him from some impressive results. This year's Jeremy Vincent Award winner as the most valuable track and field athlete also went to a Grade 9 student with OFSAA long

jump bronze medalist Cole Norton capturing the hardware. Norton also competed provincially in the 100-metre dash and triple jump. The Joe Scott Award, presented annually to a proficient student athlete in his or her chosen sport was narrowed down to soccer scorer Joel Porritt, basketball sharpshooter Taylor Reddick, Norton, and Erin O'Brien, whom Garden said captured the award due to her prowess in not just one but two sports at a high level.

"Not only does she compete provincially on an under-17 provincial soccer team out of Belleville, she also plays in the Ontario Basketball Association for the Belleville Spirits," he said. "She has caught the attention of scouts in both sports and

will have a tough time deciding which sport to pursue at the post-secondary level." Finally, the Opie Award, which is given to athletes selflessly contributing to sport, both inside the school and in inter-school programming was given to Adam

Jumper surpasses six-metre mark for first time at outdoor facility in Brockville

NORTON,

from page 1

After making Central Ontario his own personal playground in the long jump, 100 m sprint and triple jump disciplines, Norton admitted he was hoping for a golden result when he lined up to participate in one of the largest track and field meets in North America. “I like to bring home the gold and if I don't, I'm disappointed but I understand that I made a few mistakes and I know where I need to make the adjustments,” he added. After qualifying for the 100 m finals, his 11.41 in Brockville on Friday put him

seventh fastest in the province, under half a second behind Paul Shermar of St. Paul Catholic High School of Ottawa who won the event with a time of 11.05. In the triple jump, Norton was unable to get comfortable and wound up posting a 11.67 metre, about a metre behind the eventual winner, Treshaun Abrahams-Webster of Pickering who took gold with a jump of 12.78 m. In his best event, Norton was at his best and he did save his best jump for his final attempt. Qualifying for the long jump finals, Norton shattered the six-metre mark, posting a 6.05 m and coming within a single centimetre

he said with a smile. PECI track coach Bob Bell said the coaching staff and the school were proud of Norton's efforts this season. “It was a phenomenal season for him, he has to be the first athlete from PECI to

Norton credited his performance to PECI Sprint and Jumping coach Pat Bentley who's watched Norton develop since he was an elementary student athlete attending Sonrise Christian Academy. “(Bentley's) taken me so far,” Norton said. “Last year, I was fed up with track a bit but she got me going again and now I'm motivated to go as far as I can.” By the sounds of it, Norton is chomping at the bit for the 2013 Track season to get underway. “I think it's going to be a long year of hard training and hard work but the season can't come fast enough,”

Panthers go 1-2-1 at OFSAA

The PECI Panthers were unable to advance out of their pool competition at the Ontario ‘AA” senior boys championship last week in North Bay. In a tight pool, the Panthers found themselves on the wrong side of a pair of close losses, 2-1 to Cardinal Carter, and 2-0 to St. Thomas Aquinas. They managed to beat Fort Frances 2-1 and draw with St. Mary’s 1-1. Coach Paul Pickard said rivals commented that the Panthers played hard, competitive soccer in all their games despite their fourthplace mark in the pool.

(6.06 m) of second place finisher Woodbine’s Kadre Grey. First place was taken with a leap of 6.11 m by Chad Elliott of Birchmount Park Collegiate in Toronto. The six-metre leap was just Norton's second of his budding career — the first at an outdoor facility. “Going into the long jump, I was aiming for top eight,” Norton said, adding he was dealing with nagging injuries the entire season. “I had back trouble that was related to tendonitis in my hip and I lost some training time because of it but I battled through and I was pretty satisfied with my result,” he said.

MEMORIAMS

MOSSEY- In loving memory of dear mother and grandmother Melrose Mossey, who went to be with the Lord, June 14, 2011. We thought of you today But that is nothing new We thought of you yesterday And will tomorrow too. We think of you in silence And make no outward show For what it meant to lose you Only those who love you know. Remembering you is easy We do it everyday It's the heartache of losing you that will never go away. Forever loved, forever missed Doug, Kim, Madison, Shylin, Gradein and Trindin.

DEVER, Ida Marguerite. Memories of our dear Aunt Mim, her birthday peacefully remembered. All to myself I think of you Think of the things We used to do Think of the things We used to say Think of each happy yesterday. Sometimes I sigh, And sometimes I smile But I keep each olden, golden while All to myself. Fondly remembered by her family

In Memoriam

Eleanor “EJ” Hart

In loving memory of a dear wife and mother, who passed away June 14, 2006. A few more steps along life’s road, Perhaps a few more years, Then by God’s grace we’ll meet again, Beyond the vale of tears. Harold, Pat, Ray, Tom & Laurie

HOAG, Glen. In loving memory of a dear dad, grandfather and great grandfather who passed away June 19, 2011. A year has passed Dad, We miss you each and everyday, Beautiful memories silently kept, In our own special way, Always and forever in our hearts Dad. Lovingly remembered and sadly missed your family and grandkids. HOOK- Robert William Thomas, October 26, 1916-Apr. 2, 2010. There is no friendship, no love, Like that of a parent for a child. Remembered always by your family. HOTSTON- Rick. In loving memory of my son, who left us quietly June 12, 1997. Please God, forgive a silent tear, A fervent wish my son was here There are others, yes I know But he was mine, I loved him so. Dear God, take a message, To my son in heaven above Tell him how much I miss him And give him all my love. Love always, Mom. KELLAR- Lewis. In loving memory of a dear husband, father and grandfather who passed away June 15, 2009. Time has a way of slipping by But love and memories never die, Silent thoughts of time together, Hold memories that will last forever. Always loved and in our thoughts; from wife Fran and family. MARSHALL-Doug. In loving memory of our father and grandfather (Pa) who left us on June 18, 2002. Memory drifts to scenes long past, Time rolls on, but our memories last; Sunshine passes, shadows fall, Love and rememberance outlast all. May you continue to watch over us, and bless us everyday. Your are sadly missed and will never be forgotten. Love Stephen, Alexander, Darren, Jennifer, Austin, Nicholas and Chloe.

Tenders for Washburn Street reconstruction, Picton Heights pumping station approved chad ibbotson

Staff writer

The tenders for a pair of large projects were approved Tuesday. Council voted to approve the Washburn Street reconstruction tender submitted by Cobourg Development Services Ltd. in the amount of $1,145,237.81 plus HST and approved the tender submission of Xterra Construction Inc. for the Picton Heights Water Booster

Pumping Station in the amount of $1,455,680 plus HST. The 2012 capital budget includes funding for the Washburn Street project. The work includes reconstruction of the existing sanitary sewer main, water main, water and sewer services, construction of a storm sewer, sidewalk and road reconstruction. The tender was advertised starting on May 18 with a closing date of May 30.

Five tenders — half of the number received — were disqualified for various errors. Cobourg Development Services was the lowest bidder among those who weren't disqualified. The high number of tenders that were disqualified concerned at least one councillor. Councillor Jamie Forrester said many of the disqualified bidders made simple errors, such as putting a

decimal in the wrong place. Allowing these companies to fix their error could save the municipality money, he said, with the lowest disqualified bid coming about $60,000 under the Cobourg Development Services bid. “We're talking about $50,000 to $60,000 in some cases,” he said. “When there are these amounts of dollars affecting this, why would we not give these people the opportunity to make the cor-

rections?” Public works commissioner Robert McAuley said the municipality must follow strict tender guidelines that are clearly laid out for the bidders. He said tendering the project again could cost the municipality more, either through higher bids — or worse — through litigation. Council also approved the tender for a new pumping station. The 2011 capital budget

included allocation of $2.97 million for the replacement of an existing pumping station at Picton Heights. A detailed design by consulting engineering firm Ainley Graham and Associates Ltd. commenced in 2011 and was completed in April 2012. Tenders for the project were advertised from April until May 23. Xterra was the lowest bidder, coming in at $122,719 below the next lowest bidder.

Kaminsky to captain Dukes in realigned league this fall Jason parks

celebration Members of the First Picton Brownies capped of their year with an $85 donation to the Prince Edward

County Food Bank The group became aware of the need in the community after a food bank visit last fall.(Jason Parks/Gazette staff)

Picton Brownies give $85 to help local food bank Jason parks

Staff writer

To start their weekly meeting, the First Picton Brownies recite an unprompted good turn each of them has taken in the past week. At the groups final meeting of the year last week, the local group of the seven- and eight-year-old girls (along with their leaders) added a collective good turn to cap off the year. Taking a portion of funds raised from their Girl Guide cookie sales and

their weekly dues collection, the group donated $85 to the Prince Edward County Food Bank. Leader Suzanne Gould said the group visited the Picton United Church County Food Bank just prior to Thanksgiving and the experience stuck with the collection of seven and eight year olds. “We collected food and presented it to them during their visit and I think a lot of them had no idea about how it worked or that it even

existed,” Gould explained. “The visit stuck with them and there was a lot of talk throughout the year on exactly how we could help the food bank again.” The visit was part of a 'Community Counts' badge program that appealed to the virtues of helping those less fortunate and instilling a sense of community pride. Other highlights for the First Picton Brownies this year included a recent camping trip, a visit to the

Network

Picton Animal Hospital and a meeting with Prince Edward OPP Const. Kim Guthrie who explained the hug-a-tree program that young people lost in the woods should always remember. Gould will be heading the First Picton Girl Guides starting next fall. For more information on Guides (For young girls age 9-11) contact her at 613476-4253. For information on Brownies, contact leader Sue Wilton at 613-393-3168.

With one swift move, the level of play in the Eastern Division of the Ontario Junior Hockey League suddenly got better. The OJHL board of directors voted last week to approve a realignment of the 23-team league that will see the east and the north divisions come together and create one conference and the South and West divisions link up and create the other OJHL conference. Wellington Dukes fans would recognize that previous to the upcoming season, the local hockey club would commonly take on clubs in South division like North York, Toronto Lakeshore and Mississauga in inter-conference games. Now the club will renew rivalries with North division clubs such Aurora, Markham, Newmarket, Stouffville and Lindsay in a 55-game schedule that will be based solely on conference alignment with no weight given to divisional opponents. Dukes coach Marty Abrams said there are two ways of looking at the realignment from the prospective of the two-time Dudley Hewitt champions.

“We are going to see some unbelievable hockey. In addition to the great teams in the East, you've got four pretty heavy hitters in Newmarket, Aurora, Markham and Stouffville coming our way,” Abrams said. “I think most fans will remember when we had the Central Division project (2008-2009) with the group of eight great teams and most would agree that was some really great hockey and I think the hockey fans are going to see this season will match or top that.” On the other hand, the league also announced a new playoff format that will see only the top eight teams in the 11 team conference make it to the second season. “There are going to be some pretty big teams not make the playoffs this season and I don't know if we needed any more competitive hockey than we had last season. This realignment will increase our travel budget, our time away from Wellington and time on the road, so there are negative ripple effects...We are trying to look at the positives long term but it's another strike against the hockey club,” he said. Under the new format, there will be no byes in the first round and the preliminary play-in rounds have been eliminated. All series will be a best-ofseven format. In other Dukes news, the club announced overager Jan Kaminsky will take on the role as captain of the 2012-13 hockey club. The Kennesaw, Georgia native had been considering attending McGill University this fall and was hoping to play for the defending CISchampion McGill Redmen. “He's been accepted to McGill and it's his dream to go school and play hockey there,” Abrams said. But, as defending champions, ice time for the slick forward who potted 17 goals in 47 regular season games would come at a premium. “They have such a strong team returning this season and it was decided that Jan's development would be best suited by returning to Wellington,” Abrams said. “We are thankful to McGill coach Kelly Nobes and his staff for making that decision and sending Jan play his final junior season in Wellington.” Kaminsky will be looking to lead in the dressing room and on the ice just as he has in the class room. “He's up to a 94 per cent average in terms of his marks and that's why one of the best universities in Canada is interested. He can perform both academically and athletically for them so he is a high recruit but given the strength of the Redmen this coming season, his development would be better served with a season leading the way in Wellington.”

Council denies another No review of Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well policy in near future exotic animal request Lunnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request to revisit decision defeated in close 9-7 vote Tuesday night Library again seeks permission to host one-hour educational session Chad Ibbotson â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;If you want to Staff writer show them about With several citing the need pet care and for consistency in council decisions, councillors have responsibility, again decided against allowtake them to ing an exemption under the municipality's exotic animal the local bylaw. humane society. On May 10 committee of the whole initially denied an exemption application made by the County of Prince Edward Public Library which would have allowed Reptilia, a zoo and education facility to give a one-hour educational presentation on reptiles to children at the Ameliasburgh branch. At the May 22 council meeting that decision was scrapped in favour of a new motion which requested a report from staff before making a decision. The issue was again up for debate Tuesday evening, but the result remained the same. Although County staff put forward a recommendation to allow the exemption, the motion lost by a margin of 9-7 in a recorded vote. The report brought forward by County staff on Tuesday says the municipality's exotic animal bylaw prohibits the keeping, exhibition and transportation of certain animals within the county, however, exemptions are permitted on a case by case basis. The report says county staff consulted with the library board who said the show is designed for children ages 4-12 and part of the show is to teach responsibility when it comes to pets and knowing through research what responsibilities they are taking on. For the fifth time it was residents Annette McIntosh and Angela Lammes making the case against exotic animal exemptions. McIntosh asked that council deny the library's request for exemption under the bylaw, saying her concern centred around the safety of both the public and the animals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Information provided by the library states these are

a. LaMMEs reSiDeNt

reptiles so heat is not an issue nor is confined space. My concern is for the transportation of the animals,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have to be hauled all the way from Vaughan.â&#x20AC;? Lammes echoed McIntosh's concerns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With programs on television such as National Geographic, Animal Planet et cetera, children can learn about exotic animals from visual presentations without transporting reptiles long distances,â&#x20AC;? she said. Lammes argued that because exotic animals aren't allowed to be kept as pets in Prince Edward County under the bylaw, the library's argument that the show teaches responsibilities when it comes to pets is a moot point. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If your want to show them about pet care and responsibility, take them to the local humane society,â&#x20AC;? Lammes said. Councillor Bev Campbell was among those that argued council's recent decision on an exotic animal exemption â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which denied an exemption to the Picton BIA for a presentation during Canada Day celebrations â&#x20AC;&#x201C; set a precedent that the municipality should uphold. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to be consistent in our application (of the bylaw),â&#x20AC;? she said. Councillor Terry Shortt disagreed, saying the bylaw was created to prevent residents from holding exotic animals as pets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are professional handlers. These are people who bring these animals around for their educational value,â&#x20AC;? he said.

County musicians Mark Despault, Lenni Stewart, Suzanne Pasternak, Lori Farington , Steve Mee and Jenifer Legge will launch a new concert series at the South Bay schoolhouse Sunday at 8 p.m. Pasternak said the building, which was restored by the South Bay United Church in 2001, presents a similar venue to the Black River Chapel where she hosted the Kerosene Lamp Concert Series. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This venue lets the audience travel back in time. Many of the folks who will attend the concert went to one-room schoolhouses.â&#x20AC;? Admission is by donation to the South Prince Edward Foodgrains Project. To reserve a seat, please call 613476-6142.

with Quinte Conservation made a deputation to council in which he talked about the fragile nature of the local water table. Boone sat on the committee that created the new well policy that was scrapped last year. He said the natural composition of the area â&#x20AC;&#x201D; shallow soil over fractured rock â&#x20AC;&#x201D; means the water table is very shallow and has a high vulnerability to contamination. He said that shallow water table also means that too many houses in one area on private wells could deplete it. However, councillor Kevin Gale wasn't convinced council should be in the business of regulating wells any more than the current policy already does. He said there are some municipalities in Quinte Conservation's catchment area that have no well policy at all. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I'm not any more convinced now than I ever was that the policy we have in place isn't sufficient,â&#x20AC;? he said. Councillor Terry Shortt

said the scrapped well policy tried to â&#x20AC;&#x153;control a situation that can't be controlled.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are wells. Wells fluctuate with the weather, the temperature, the time of year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they fluctuate with natural occurrences,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Living in the country, you take the chance that you might not have water. The first thing you know, and I've lived there all my life, is that eventually you're going to have to buy some water because your well will go dry.â&#x20AC;? County chief administrative officer Merlin Dewing said several municipalities he has worked in have not had well policies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I've worked in areas where you don't even think about wells. You put in a cistern and you fill it with water, you don't even test it because it's not available,â&#x20AC;? he said. A motion to further review the well policy lost by a margin of 9-7.

Council has decided against delving into a review of the municipality's well policy for the foreseeable future. In recent months councillor Alec Lunn has lead a charge to reexamine the policy after council decided to scrap a newly created well policy in April 2011. At the time many councillors argued that the new policy created more problems than it solved, making it next to impossible to meet the conditions of quality and quantity needed to sever a lot. Council voted to revert to its former policy, which required wells to produce three gallons of water per minute in order for a severance to be granted. Lunn said at the time council should have been looking at making necessary changes, not throwing out the new policy altogether. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just throw out the policy,â&#x20AC;? said Lunn last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to allow for

remedies like testing at the tap, then revisit and revamp the policy.â&#x20AC;? On Tuesday Lunn again asked council to consider revising the well policy, and this time to get a legal opinion on the current policy. He said allowing lots to be severed without ensuring adequate water is available could open the municipality to legal challenge. Lunn asked that council get a legal opinion on the current policy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's an important issue and I think it needs a legal opinion,â&#x20AC;? he said. Councillor Bev Campbell agreed that the scrapped well policy involved conditions too onerous for anyone to meet, but she said council should be looking at a policy that fits somewhere in between the current one and the scrapped version. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We may well need something in between that policy and the one we have right now,â&#x20AC;? she said. The discussion came after Mark Boone, a hydrologist

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Expect to expend a little energy this week to get the job done right, Aries. Leaving it up to others is not the best way to go in this instance. Step up. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, focus on the big picture or nothing will get accomplished. It's too easy to get lost in all of the little details. Follow through on the task at hand. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, someone will catch your ear and it will only serve to confuse you. You won't know what to make of it but don't get worried. It will all begin to make sense once a few pieces fall into place. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Lots of people need your help, Cancer. Focus all of your energy on helping others for the time being. You will feel good about your efforts and the good karma that results from them. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you need to figure out how to turn all of your great ideas into workable projects - especially ones that can make you some money. Get started on a plan. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Change will be all around you, Virgo. While you're not overly excited about it, you realize change is essential to growing in your life and career. New work arrangements need to be made.

YOUR SPACE!

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Don't expect this week to go smoothly, Libra. But that doesn't necessarily mean it will go badly. It's just full of distractions and interruptions. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you may be feeling sensual and romantic for the next few days. It could be because of all of the positive attention you have been receiving lately. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 You may feel happy when a friend or family member comes over to visit today, Sagittarius. You have been waiting for some company for quite a while. Enjoy the visit. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, your mind will be all over the place this week unless you find someone to help you get focused. Think of it as having a babysitter who can call you out if you start to stray. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, you will be amazed at the results when you finally set your mind to something. Stick with what you're doing and enjoy the ride. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, help around the house or at the office this week and the work will benefit you and all of the other people with whom you interact.

Searching for a topic for this column, I opened an envelope from Health Canada. Inside was a brochure entitled “it’s Way Too Hot! Protect Yourself from Extreme Heat”. The document provides older adults and others with advice and recommendations on how to protect your health during hot temperatures. The first page of the brochure encourages seniors to know your risks. Hot temperatures can be dangerous, especially if you have: breathing difficulties; heart problems; hypertension; kidney problems; a mental illness such as depression or dementia; Parkinson’s disease; or if you take medication for any of these conditions. If you are taking medication or have a health condition, ask your doctor or pharmacist if it increases your health risk in the heat and follow their recommendations. Heat illnesses include heat stroke, heat exhaustion, heat fainting, heat edema (swelling of hands, feet and ankles), heat rash and heat cramps (muscle cramps). Heat illnesses can affect you quickly and are mainly caused by overexposure to heat or overexertion in the heat. We have ordered some copies of the pamphlet to have on hand in the office. You can find out more by visiting www.healthcanada.gc.ca/cc or e-mailing Climatinfo@hc-sc.gc.ca.

Consult our website, give us a call, arrange for a free and confidential discussion with one of our professional co-ordinators. Don’t wait too long to reach out.

Top fundraisers special guests at local Relay For Life site RELAY, from page 1

When Brooke was first diagnosed in 2010, her mother said she immediately wanted to get involved in the fight against cancer and raise funds for cancer research. “Her desire to make a difference in the fight against cancer led us to take part in the Relay for Life in Brighton,” she added. Brooke Ramsey wanted to take everything in at the 2011 Brighton Relay for life and participated by cutting the ribbon on the opening event. Later, she participated in the luminary ceremony and took part in the survivor walk. “She realized how many others shared her story. It was a huge comfort for Brooke to be surrounded by so much love and support that night,” Rhonda Ramsey said. The funding raised by Brooke's Donkeys and others will go to cancer research and a unique wrinkle of the Mealy For Life event is that a cancer researcher gets the opportunity to let those in attendance know how the funding is helping the those battle on the front lines in the war against the dreaded disease. Julia Williams was the event's guest researcher and spoke at the opening ceremonies about her work at the Dr. Jeremy Squire Lab at Queen's University in Kingston where she examines cancer genetics.

Williams is currently studying how different changes in chromosomes can help to explain the aggressive nature of some prostate cancers. The research will assist in the diagnosis of the cancers as well as the subsequent treatment path. With both a professional and personal connection to the cancer (Williams' grandfather passed away from prostate cancer when she was 15 years old), she thanked those participating for raising funds that will allow her to continue the fight. “The Canadian Cancer Society funds the work in my laboratory in part through the hard work and generous support of participants and or volunteers like you at this event here today,” she said.
