Council has agreed to increased costs for a new access road to the municipality's age-in-place lands and the Wellings of Picton development. The tender for the new access road was approved at a cost of $1,426,826.84 plus HST with K. Mulrooney Trucking Ltd. selected to do the work. The municipality had previously arranged for developer Wellings of Picton (Nautical Lands Group) to construct the new access road with the County reimbursing the developer through development charges credits or cash. The tender process was conducted by the developer. The process resulted in bids that were higher than estimated. As a result staff advised council to exclude a provisional item that would have seen traffic lights constructed at the intersection of Hwy 49 and the new access road. The new lowest cost came in at the $1,426,826.84 figure, which exceeded the original budget by about $271,250. Council also approved that

additional project funding to come from the development charges reserve as the work is growth related. Between development charges and connection charges, phases one and two of Wellings development are expected to generate a total of just short of $1.7 million. That total doesn't include any additional development that may occur at the site. The new access road enters the H.J. McFarland Home property on the south side and runs around the home, connecting with the Wellings building site on the other side. The access road will service all of the 41 acres of the age-inplace lands and facilitate the connection of water, wastewater and other services. Councillor Bill Roberts supported the approval of the tender. “We have a contractual obligation, it's the lowest combined bid, we're told it's on a full cost-recovery basis,” he said, adding that delaying the project could put it in jeopardy. “It's a no-brainer, we should proceed.”

According to a media release issued Monday, the incident started at 7:43 p.m. In Bloomfield when a member of the Prince Edward detachment attempted to stop a vehicle for a Highway Traffic Act violation on Main Street. “The vehicle stopped briefly and then took off,” Prince Edward OPP community services officer Const. Anthony Mann told the Gazette. Mann explained the suspect vehicle fled from police

and, after a brief pursuit, the chase was discontinued “in the interest of public safety.” An hour later, officers located the suspect vehicle travelling on County Rd. 14, in Sophiasburgh ward. The OPP followed the fleeing suspect vehicle which entered onto Big Island via County Rd. 21. The police contained the area and with the assistance of the OPP Canine and Emergency Response Team (ERT) officers searched the area.

Smith introduces new Ontario PC leader to Prince Edward-Hastings Patrick Brown talks provincial politics with party supporters at The Grange Monday ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

Prince Edward County representatives are proving vital to Patrick Brown's political career. The last time the Ontario Progressive Conservatives were in power, Brown cut his teeth as a summer student in the office of Prince Edward-Lennox MPP Gary Fox. Now, the Ontario PC leader says if the party is to return to power under his leadership in 2018, current Prince Edward-Hastings MPP Todd Smith will be one of the heavy lifters in building that government. "It's a privilege to have someone like Todd Smith in our caucus as a leader in our party," he said. "I know he drives the Liberals nuts and in my books, that is a good thing… The guy was the only PC MPP that had his vote percentage and share go up last election. That says a lot about your organization and a lot about Todd Smith. I'm going to be leaning on him a lot over the next few years." While Brown's comments Monday at The Grange of Prince Edward say a lot for Smith, one of the staunchest supporters of his leadership rival Christine Elliott, the focus of the evening was to introduce the leader to local Progressive Conservatives in order to rally them behind him over the coming years. Though he was on Elliott's team, Smith said he was impressed by the leader in his short time at the helm and both men agree it's important to get Brown out to ridings to meet the membership.

"It's really important. Three years is going to fly by. The next provincial election will be over three years from now. A lot of people here hadn't met Patrick or knew who he was" Smith said. "He is one of the hardest working people I've ever met. It's incredible the amount of energy this guy has and his commitment to winning and the cause. I liked the appeal (Elliott) would have brought in a general election, but Patrick is a workhorse and he is going to impress a lot of people." Smith said Brown has already committed to visiting every riding in the province several times over the current term and Queen's Park and he's committed to rebuilding riding associations where there is need. "We're very fortunate here we have a good riding association with a strong membership and a committed team in Prince EdwardHastings. Not every riding association in the province is like that." Indeed, in meeting with about 65 people in Hillier, Brown said following the 2014 election, the Ontario PC party was decimated. It has around 10,000 members and was $7.6 million in debt. Following the lengthy campaign, it has over 80,000 members and it raised $2.6 million in the past year. "Our Progressive Conservative family is doing well," he said. "We've made huge inroads in getting our party strong again and the energy in the party, I think, is really good." He trumpeted his party's past history, noting that

advancements like women's suffrage, 20,000 long-term care beds, the community college system, and some top research hospitals came under the guidance of PC premiers in the past. "We're going to go back to building this province and doing what is right," he said. "We're doing the work we didn't do before, we're going to embark on that and get it right. Ontario needs us to get it right. I'm so grateful you've been here for the good days and the bad days, I promise there will be much better days ahead for our party."

er with people like Smith welcoming him to the fold and preparing to share their work and their ideas. He said he hopes to take a different approach than the Progressive Conservatives under Tim Hudak, saying he doesn't plan to oppose every government action. He noted he supported an agreement with Quebec to open interprovincial trade and a bill to introduce financial literacy in schools. He also supported an NDP motion to offer post traumatic stress disorder support to first responders. "There is no monopoly on good idea," he said. "If an ‘BIG CHALLENGES’ aidea originates with the Liberals or the NDP and it WORKING TOGETHER MPPTodd Smith, right, said that new Brown rallied the supporters makes sense for Ontario, I'll around "big challenges" he Ontario Progressive Conservative leader Patrick Brown has support it.

They're not in it for you. This is a Liberal government that's in it for themselves, in it for their friends, in it for special interests. We're going to do whatever we can at Queen's Park to hold them accountable." In an ensuing media scrum, Brown said he has been pleased with the way the party has pulled togeth-

key in getting the fundraiser off the ground. Years ago, Gallo — a cat lover himself — came upon a stray and cared for it for years. As the cat grew older Gallo wanted the feline to live out the rest of his days at a safe, indoor home. He contacted the Loyalist Humane Society. “He liked what he saw here and he's brought a few more strays since,” said Moffatt. “Then he said he'd like to do a concert for us to help with our fundraising.” Ultimately, the Katnip Tea was organized and Moffatt said it wouldn't have been possible without the work of Gallo and his wife, Glady. “They did a huge amount of the work. They did a lot of the advertising and promoting and looking for auction items,” said Moffatt. “They were amazing.” County Traders auctioneer Adam Miller was entertaining and light and was a hit with everyone who attended the event, Moffatt said. She said the humane society is so pleased with the response, they'd consider doing it again so long as all the volunteers and organizers are on board. “It didn't run perfectly smoothly, but with a second time we'd have all the wrinkles out,” she said. Moffatt expressed her gratitude to everyone who helped make the event a success.

The Picton Gazette 22nd edition of fine art exhibition opens to the public tomorrow at Books & Company

Jurors impressed by Art in the County entries ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

About 150 pieces of art rested against walls and on tables at the Lipson Room upstairs at Books & Company Monday as three men spent six hours privately viewing and critiquing the collected creations. Peter Large, Paul Dederer, and Andrew Cheddie Sookrah showed up at about 8 a.m. to begin the rewarding, yet arduous task of jurying the entries to the 22nd annual Art in the County exhibition. For the most part, the jurors came away impressed by the submission from local artists for the Prince Edward County Arts Council event. "I've been here as a juror before two years ago," said Large, an award-winning member of the Society of Canadian Artists. "I expected a high quality and we're getting it." Sookrah agreed, stating the collected works were "remarkable for many reasons." The creative director of Toronto's Engine Room Creative and a part-time art instructor at Loyalist College, noted a high level of skill was evident in the pieces he reviewed and that spread across a number of forms of artistic expression. Dederer, the curator of Quinn's of Tweed Fine Art Gallery, said he was impressed as a first-time juror. "Some of the artists are real gems. I'd hang them in my gallery in a second if I could." That level of quality, however, served to make Monday's task more difficult. The jurors were tasked with cutting the number of paintings to display over the show's 17 days. Judging by past year's exhibition, that selection could dismiss as many as one-third of the pieces submitted, however, the jurors hadn't decided on a final number as of noon Monday. As always, Large said the selection would be "very difficult" but added he and his colleagues were

tasked with curating a show that highlights excellence in local works. When asked their process for evaluating the art, Sookrah joked he and his peers start by trying to bully one another, then resort to wrestling. On a serious tone, however, he some pieces did require a lot of discussion. Dederer said talking it out is a useful way for the three jurors to find consensus. "We all come at it from different backgrounds and approach each painting differently," he said. "Having three people looking at the pieces can change the way you view the art. By hearing the other two jurors talk about a piece, I may look differently upon it." That's to be expected with three people with different technical backgrounds involved in discussions. Given the variety of art, however, Sookrah said one thing jurors have to be careful about is adhering to their own preferences alone, rather than the technical merit of the work in question. "We have to check our own biases at the door," he said. "Now that's not to say

we don't still advocate for the pieces we feel passionately about." Large said the strength of having a panel jury a show is that it would be nearly impossible for the three members to have the same biases as one another. The members suggested if they couldn't agree on the merits of one piece, they wouldn't put it in the show. Adding another layer to the difficulty, however, is the comparative quality of the art. Dederer explained that after viewing works and moving onto others, the jurors came to see them in another light. "There was one we all panned this morning, but we came back to it later," he said. After making their selections about which pieces to hang and where, the jurors also had to select award winners — something Dereder said would likely be the most difficult decision to reach consensus on — and move to another tough task that afternoon. They were asked to critique those artists whose work didn't make it into the show and offering them constructive criticism.

Despite the hard work, the three jurors agreed they learned much from one another through the process and they enjoyed the way the Art in the County committee treated them during their stay, making them comfortable. Large said it is a credit to Prince Edward County that it has supported the exhibit for 22 years and that it continues to draw quality artists and sponsors. "The sponsors really should be acknowledged. If they decided the show wasn't good enough, they wouldn't put their names behind it." Sookrah also credited the volunteers for making the show work. Over the 17 days the exhibition is open, between 140-150 people are helping keep the event open. The exhibition opens with an invite-only reception tonight. It will formally open tomorrow. The hours are from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays until July 12. On Sunday, June 28 and July 5 it will open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Sunday, June 12 it will be open 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Visitors are reminded all pieces are on sale and may be purchased.

COMMENTARY Baseline concussion testing a must for young athletes

WITH more former professional athletes deciding to sue the sporting organizations they competed in over the lasting impact of concussions and with more research coming out regularly about lingering symptoms and longterm impacts of blows to the head, those involved in amateur sport should have every reason to be cautious about exposing young athletes to this type of injury in competition. It may not just be a headache and it isn’t necessarily something that someone can play through. This month Ottawa school trustees have written to Premier Kathleen Wynne encouraging her to enact Rowan’s Law, a bill that came forward following the coroner’s inquest into the death of Rowan Stringer, a 17year-old student from Barrhaven, Ont. who died in hospital of secondimpact syndrome, the effects of sustaining a second concussion before the first one had adequately healed. The law would require more education about concussions in Ontario and introduce more stringent regulations to protect young athletes from concussion damage. That school board also went further, attempting to get staff to compile a report in the occurrence of concussions in school sporting activities and a breakdown by gender and age. The board should be saluted for recognizing that concussions can take place in school sports and trying to do something to stress to students that they are susceptible and that research has shown that teens may be more at-risk to longterm effects because they are at an age where their brains are still in a developmental stage.

While moves to increase concussion awareness in any amateur sporting organization are applauded and increased use of helmets and protectors for the head in contact sports should be a necessity, we’d call on schools and amateur sporting associations to mandate use of science to help protect athletes and gather more information. Prior to starting any sport or recreational activity where there is reasonable expectation of contact, the province and its governing bodies for sport should require young athletes to complete baseline testing for concussions with a trained doctor of physiotherapist. For a reasonable amount of money, these professionals can test an athlete when he or she is at peak performance to measure performance indicators like reaction time, balance, memory capacity and mental processing ability. Those results are kept on file and if an injury is suspected during the season, the athlete can again undergo testing to compare the impact of the injury to the ideal setting. If the factors studied are not comparable to the baseline, an athlete would be kept out of competition. Some suggest baseline testing could also be used over time to determine if concussions and successive concussions have done lasting damage, which could help coaches and athletes in risk assessment. The benefit of athletes playing these sports — the development of character, teamwork, fitness, time management, and dedication — is a worthwhile endeavour, but those entrusted with nurturing youth through sport should use every tool available to keep athletes safe.

Stories From Our Past 1925

n A hail storm passing through Prince Edward County did considerable damage to crops along a line from Rednersville south to East Lake and West Lake. The Bloomfield area was hardest hit and many farmers lost on damage to their tomatoes, cherries, apples and strawberries. n County council resolved that a juvenile court be established to serve the entire county in Picton, provided town council there agree to provide for half the costs of the venture. n County council also decided it would give a reward of $1 to the first student in each school section discovering the presence of the corn borer.

1935

n Picton freight handlers took part in a one-day strike and refused to assist a visiting Canada Steamship Lines boat. The strikers asked for a wage of 40 cents per hour, the use of only union men for loading and unloading, and other provisions. Local agents did not accept their demands, but sent them on to Canada Steamship Lines. n Canada Steamship Lines freighter Beaverton ran aground on a sand bar coming into Picton harbour. Water was pumped from the holds and the ship made it to harbour 10 hours late. n Ontario highway minister T. B. McQuesten visited Picton to celebrate the creation of the new Hwy 33.

1955

n The Town of Picton reached an outof-court settlement of $70,000 from Cornish Construction Co. Ltd. and associated trades after the town’s enlarged water plant required costly repairs to cracked walls and broken pipes. The town had been seeking about $95,000. n Doug Strong resigned from the Picton post office after 16 years of service, some as deputy postmaster. n Prince Edward-Lennox re-elected Norris Whitney to the provincial legislature. The Conservative defeated Liberal challenger Percy Mellott by 2,394 votes, about 1,200 votes larger than previous plurality.

1975

n Two Prince Edward County men died in a plane crash at Prince Edward Point. Neil Molyneux, 29, and Ronald Duetta, 17, were flying a light plane when their engine failed. The craft crashed into a cow pasture. Molyneux was considered a good pilot, having completed more than 100 hours before the crash. n A six-year-old girl from Kingston was discovered drowning at Outlet Provincial Park in shallow water. Members of the beach patrol performed artificial respiration and a doctor gave her an external heart massage as they waited for an ambulance to take the girl to the hospital.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Address economic inequality to improve food security

For the most part it was good to read about the progress of the Vital Signs working group in the county. In the areas of transportation and learning significant strides have been made. Sadly though, their work on "food security", which really comes down to income security, would seem to be about maintaining the status quo. Their approach of expanding food handouts to people, making sure people can connect with freeand low-cost-food programs, and even teaching people to eat more nutritiously with less money, helps keep the growing number of people in a state of dependence quiet, while the real causes of "food insecurity" and poverty go unmentioned and unad-

dressed. The Canadian economy generates enough wealth to adequately support, including feed, all Canadians for their whole lives. Far more than enough, actually. The inability of so many people to buy food, and poverty in general, is a problem of where most of this wealth is going. For example, most lowincome seniors who can't afford to feed themselves have worked hard all their working lives. Their state of poverty is a good indicator of where most of the wealth they generated with their work was going--not to them but to the heads of the corporations and businesses that they worked for. Today corporate profitability and power continues to rise, as workers' real

wages are remaining stagnant if not falling, and as the number of workers with pension plans in this province is abysmally low and dropping. Around half of all workers in Ontario today don't even have secure, full time employment, but are working in part-time, temporary, or otherwise precarious positions. And workers who do have pension plans must constantly fight to defend them. It is far cheaper for corporations to staff their operations with parttimers, temps, and even foreign workers who do not qualify for benefits or pensions, and these workers do not have any power to object. All this makes it easier for corporations to capture most of the wealth

I was adopted soon after by a couple named Cochrane and moved to Belleville. I have never seen my birth family since then. I have been told that I am of Iroquois descent.

Landscaper Scott Wentworth, of Wentworth Landscapes submitted this photo showing a maple tree that has been removed from in front of The Armoury as part of preparations for the John A. Macdonald statue installation, Wentworth said the tree has suffered an eight-inch at the base of the trunk on the right side. Mushrooms are feeding on the decomposing wood and as a result, the tree has just had the nutrients to grow a few inches in recent seasons. The three will be replaced with three Capital ornamental pear trees in the new landscape.(Submitted photo)

-policies like disallowing the practice breaking up full-time permanent positions into part-time or temporary jobs, policies like raising minimum wage to something people can afford to raise their families on et cetera. Food banks and food sharing programs may fill bellies, but they demean the victims of corporate theft by forcing them to rely on charity to survive, and food banks enable the perpetrators of this theft by taking on corporate responsibility to adequately provide for the people who work for them. Enhancing this situation should not be viewed as providing food security.

the working class creates, often leaving workers with less than enough to even feed themselves on a dayto-day basis, let alone for their whole lives. It also means the number of seniors living in poverty today is only the tip of an evergrowing iceberg. Key to addressing poverty and the problems with access to food it creates is identifying economic inequality for what it is — theft, basically — -and addressing it through policies which limit (rather than expand, which is the norm) the abilities of the rich and powerful to divert wealth away from the people who create it, and policies which force the rich and powerful to share the wealth in our economy at least somewhat more fairly-

I am searching for my birth family and hope that some of your readers may be able to help. I was born in the Picton area on July 7, 1959. My birth name was Diane Dainard. I had a younger sister named Jacqueline who was likely born in 1960. I have few memories of my early years but I remember living in a large house in Picton with my mother, sister, grandparents and other family members.

It was another successful outing for the Prince Edward County Field Naturalists as more than 50 people took part in the group's second annual BioBlitz this weekend. BioBlitz co-ordinator Sheila Kuja declared the event a success, with more than 200 species of plants and animals being catalogued in the 24-hour blitz. “It was an excellent BioBlitz,” she said. “It was a resounding success in terms of gathering the information and everyone who was there had a very good time.” She said a total of 54 people participated in the event, identifying more than 200 species of plants, 20–25 butterflies, five species of fish, several blanding's turtles, 40 moth species, 18 different invertebrates, and a variety of frogs and toads. Kuja said participants were also able to identify some new species of plants. “We found an orchid down there that we hadn't (seen before),” she said. Kuja said some studies of the flora and fauna have been done around the federally owned lands at Point Petre and Point Traverse,

but she said the field naturalists saw an opportunity to provide a more complete picture of what can be found on the county's south shore. “To our knowledge there hasn't been a survey of the provincial wildlife area, so we're filling in a gap,” she said. The information will be collected and arranged in a report that will be distributed the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ontario Reptile and Amphibian Atlas, and Ontario Nature. Information on some of the rarer species identified will be forwarded to the Natural Heritage Information Centre. She said the information would also help establish

the importance of the county's south shore as a wildlife refuge. There was no shortage of professionals on hand to provide information and act as guides. Dale Kristensen of Queen's University, Mike Burrell of Bird Studies Canada, and Wally Rendell of Loyalist College, were just a few of the experts who attended the blitz. Local favourite Terry Sprague was also on hand for an earlymorning bird walk. Kuja said two PECI students participated in the event and she's hoping that trend will continue. “I'm kind of hoping we get more involvement from the high school,” she said. “We'd like to draw the public in and invite everyone to enjoy it. Part of the reason for having the BioBlitz is to engage the public in what's around them and enjoy nature a little bit more.” The whole year is being treated as a “bio-thon” with weekly trips to examine the south shore, said Kuja. On July 18 Presqu'ile Provincial Park natural heritage education leader David Bree will be leading a dragonfly walk at Lighthall Road as a part of the bio-thon. Kuja said everyone is welcome to participate.

Rotarians celebrate an eventful year Jones honoured at Past Presidents’ Night, Clarke presented Hepburn Trophy ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

The Waring Hall was decked out in the traditional royal blue and gold of the Picton Rotary Club Tuesday night as it marked the passing from one year to the next at its Past Presidents’ Night. Current past-president Matt Stiff was in charge of motivating the annual event and he said it really has become an anticipated event in recent years to celebrate all the club has accomplished. “It’s a tradition to honour our outgoing president. We’re going to honour Rick (Jones) and all the great things we’ve done this year,” he said. “It’s also about honouring the members. Our members have put a lot of sweat into this club and money… It kicks off into (president-elect Rob Leek’s) year and we hope to get the membership motivated and behind Rob and all the things we’re going to do.” Aside from hearing from the two leaders involved in the ceremonial hand over of the presidency and toasting a long line of past presidents in attendance, the Rotarians also gathered to see the club hand out some hardware. Chief among it was the Hepburn Memorial Trophy which is presented annually to the Rotarian of the year at the club. This year, the directors voted John Clarke as their recipient. “The board voted in favour of John because John has been at most of our fundraising functions and when we talk about Rotary International’s motto ‘service above self,’ that’s one of the reasons we elected John,” Jones said of the member of over 25 years. Leek added “he’s under the radar all the time, he just comes. He’s thoughtful, he’s creative, he gives good advice and counsel and if he’s not happy, he’ll let you

know.” Stiff said there would also be some long-service awards handed out with John Cameron leading that group, having served the club for 31 years. Stiff himself would also be recognized as a Paul Harris Fellow, having raised more than $1,000 for the Rotary Foundation. He’d be among the youngest members in the Picton club to have earned that honour. Jones indicated that he’d be reflecting back on a successful year. The club moved forward on his two main priorities — membership and promotions. Though the club lost six members this year, it recruited nine, bringing the club’s membership up to 68. “I think that’s a job well done by our club,” he said. Secondly, Jones said the club’s board passed a resolution to acquire naming rights for the Prince Edward Community Centre hall and an electronic sign proposed in front of it. It also created signage on the Picton Golf and Country Club, both tying in with the Light Up Rotary theme. “Having been in the broadcast business for some 40-odd years, I feel branding is a very important part of Rotary. Here in Picton, Rotary signage is nowhere to be seen. I thought this was a great opportunity to get our name out there,” he said. “At the fairgrounds, there are thousands that go by on a weekly basis.” More awareness should help drive membership and sustainability. Jones said he was also pleased with some internal work the club has tackled this past year, updating some of the forms it uses regularly, training members on the Club Runner software and initiating reviews of its constitution and bylaws. It’s weighs and means committee is looking at the value of starting a youth initiative to address the community’s socio-economic shortfalls.

The club also continued its student exchange program, sent a student to a youth leadership event, and sent four of its own members for leadership training. On the public front, Picton Rotary had a successful 25th Memorial Golf Tournament, took part in the Firelight Lantern Festival, and brought the Rotary Flame to town for its second Lilac Ride. Jones said a team effort helped accomplish much this year. “I think I had probably one of the best boards going. They did their jobs very effectively and I couldn’t ask for more. It’s great to have a team like that. It makes a president’s job easier,” he said. On a personal level, Jones said he learned a lot from past presidents, club members, and other leaders in the district. It was a highlight for him to follow in his father’s footstep as president, the elder Jones having served in 1971. “It’s a form of giving back to the community and service above self. As far as I’m concerned, I can’t do enough for the Rotary Club of Picton and our community,” he said. “You meet great people and when you learn what they have done for Rotary it’s mind boggling. It is one of the best organizations in the world as far as I’m concerned.” Though he’s passing on the presidency, Jones said he feels his job isn’t done yet and he’s looking forward to working with Leek’s team next year and continuing to do the club’s public relations. Leek first joined Rotary in Hamilton in 1979. He was starting a new business and realized the club had 300 contacts he could network with. Once involved, he fell in love with the service side of the club as it worked with when he was able to help with an activity program for disabled children.

The Picton Gazette

Leek hopes to address Rotarians’ engagement during upcoming year ROTARY, from page 10

He later had youth exchange students from Brazil and New Zealand at his house. He was the president of the Hamilton club in 1998-1999 and was eventually a district governor. Setting up a bedand-breakfast with his wife in Bloomfield, he knew he’d join Rotary here and felt the Picton club’s schedule fit best with his own. Leek indicated he didn’t seek out the presidency, but it was offered to him. “I was asked. I thought about it seriously and if

you’re asked somebody thinks you can serve. I said ‘OK, let’s go.’ I enjoyed getting involved. I’ve been on the board the past four years. I learned a lot and had a chance to share my ideas.” When given the chance to address the club that night, Leek said his primary theme would be engagement, which goes along with the international theme “Be a gift to the world.” “How do we engage our Rotarians so they have an opportunity to give their gift? We’ve all got so many talents and I’m going to be

asking each Rotarian to just go up one more notch in their giving back to the community so that we can share those gifts,” he said. Leek unveiled a banner of the four-way test that night and said he believes that’s a big part of what Rotary stands for. Looking forward, he said he’s interested in finding out if Rotary can start a youth centre or initiative to allow it to be more relative to youth and looking at ways it might help to combat some of the challenges identified in the County Community Foun-

dation’s Vital Signs report. Internally, he’s hoping to see police check and abuse and harassment policies completed and hoping to find ways to help Rotarians know each other better as he said with a large group, it’s sometimes possible for members to not interact over the course of the year. Fun will also be important. “Rotary is too important to be taken seriously. If you ain’t having fun, they’re not paying us enough to not have fun. It was good under Rick. We want to continue that spirit of Rotary fellow-

ship and fun.” Leek said the club is in a fortunate position that six of its new members are retired imports to the county with Rotary experience who are ready to hit the ground running. He added, however, he’d like to see the club look into attracting younger members who may not be Rotarians because of time, cost, or other reasons. “How do we take their desire and fold it somehow into the Rotary structure?” he asked. He indicated the club is also looking forward to a

new venture, an All Canadian Wine Championships, tasting event at the Crystal Palace July 25. The event will be a partnership with the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation and will feature 750 wines from across Canada. Tickets for the event will be $35 for 15 pours for those buying in advance or $40 that day. Instant Rivalry is slated to perform. Earlier that week, the club will welcome Rotary District 7070 governor Michael Bell to a luncheon to outline goals for the year.

Work began this week on a restoration project at St. Mary Magdalene Church that's expected to take approximately three to four months. Scaffolding has been erected in order complete major repair work on the church's crumbling bell tower. Belleville company Eastern Restoration has been tapped to complete the work. The cost of the project is expected to exceed $300,000, which is being fundraised. Minor work has been conducted regularly to remove loose masonry and plug large cracks that have formed after 100 years of dealing with the elements. However, the last few winters of freezing and thawing have been particularly hard on the structure, to the point where there are fears it could become a safety hazard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's the outside core of that's deteriorating,â&#x20AC;? said fundraising campaign chair Herb Stone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The freezethaw incidents over the past three winters has accelerated it.

Stone said. He said Eastern Restoration has been great and the Church Wardens have built a positive relationship with the company over the last six or seven years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They're just absolutely great,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We're confident it will come out the way we expect and would like to have it.â&#x20AC;?

The Picton Gazette pragmatic energy policy." On education, Brown said "ultimately, the premier is responsible for the chaos in education" that saw some of the longest strikes in 25 years this year and has parents and students concerned about further work stoppages come the fall. He called on the govern-

ment to take responsibility. "Everyone knows decisions are made at Queen's Park. Stop playing games with students' education. We need kids in the classroom, parents deserve kids in the classroom and the Liberal government needs to take responsibility and get it done," he said, adding the current financial climate is no excuse because the government has been spending freely for 12 years. "I'm not going to justify the fact they can't make their promises because of the financial mess we're in. That's something they have to wear. My question to the Liberals is why did they lie to the teachers? Why did they create expectations they can't meet?" Smith said he feels the party is doing well pointing out what it perceives are shortcomings in the Liberal approach to governance. He said the party has to build on that by creating its own policy and approach. "I don't think we have to say 'I told you so,' those dealing with changes in various sectors like health care, education, or energy know they were double-crossed. They know they were duped at election time," he said. "Since they were duped they're more aware. What we have to do is put out a presentable, legitimate government-in-waiting. We have to let people know there's nothing scary about (Brown). He's a middle-ofthe-road individual and he'll earn the struts of people who weren't necessarily supports of the PC party in the past — specifically, the recent past." Smith said policy development with Brown will start at the party's annual meeting in March.

Meanwhile, Smith said he is still considering which riding he will contest in 2018 when the province adds 15 new seats to mirror the federal ridings in southern Ontario. He said he has yet to speak to Brown about whether to run in Bay of Quinte or in Hastings-Lennox, but said the party feels it is important to ensure it has solid organization and good people in place in both potential ridings moving forward. “What we want is to ensure we have a strong PC candidate in both ridings in 2018,” he said. “People are interested. A couple of people have said depending on where you run, I’d run in the other.”

Proceeds from Lockyer-Ward charity art auction climb to $70,731 County Community Foundation founder says family sets example for giving ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

With all the calculations complete, the Lockyer-Ward estate charity art auction raised about $10,000 more than initial estimates as Steven Ward presented the County Community Foundation (CCF) a novelty cheque for $70,731.34 Monday morning. Ward indicated he won't have to go too far to see some of his parents' beloved pieces of art within the community. He said a family who bought his great-grandfather's former home on the Lockyer farm bought six or seven pieces. Many of his friends also turned up to place bids June 13. "If I ever want to see them, I can visit a friend. I just need to secure an invitation," he said. Moulton said there was some hot competition for a

few pieces during the live auction, including the cover art for the sale, a painting by Tom Mathews. A Sheba's Island resident who holds a sister piece to the painting, painted at a slightly different angle wasn't about to let it go. In total, about 150 pieces were auctioned off in live

and silent auctions. Only one piece didn't go, though Oeno Gallery owner Carlyn Moulton said she's sure she'll get a call about it one day. Though the art may not have sold for full value, Moulton was pleased with the return. "I don't know how many

fundraisers in the county have raised this much, but it is a goodly sum. I think it's one of the largest ones I can

remember and a great gift from the Ward family." In the immediate future, the CCF will hand over about $17,500 to each of the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation and Hospice Prince Edward. That will leave an average of $3,500 a year to be given out over the next 10 years as part of the dedicated Ward family fund. Though Ward said the fund will help charities in the county, he indicated the fund's aims and parameters for granting hadn't been fully established to date. "I'll be meeting with (CCF president) Joan (Pennefather) and the other member of the CCF fund to determine how those funds will be released annually," he said. Ward congratulated Moulton and her staff at Oeno Gallery for driving interest in the sale. One for-

mer staff member, Hri Neil, even came back to the gallery to lend his time and his experience having worked at an auction house previously. "It's safe to say if Carlyn and her staff hadn't been involved from the beginning, this would be a much smaller gift," said Ward. The family also thanked auctioneer Jim Nelson who generously gave his time and waived any compensation for the auction. He spent more than two hours straight auctioning off art. Moulton, who was the founding president of the CCF said the Ward family's gift not only brought forward money from the direct sale of art, it also showed other families they have a vehicle in the CCF to reach a broad spectrum with their legacy gifts through customized funds.

New programs help economic stimulus agency to banner year in 2014-2015 ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

The Prince Edward-Lennox and Addington Community Futures Development Corporation (PELA CFDC) celebrated one of its best years on record in 2014-2015, boasting a $10-million economic impact in the two counties. At the economic development organization’s annual general meeting Monday at the Isaiah Tubbs Resort on West Lake, PELA CFDC executive director Craig Desjardins said $5.2 million flowed through the not-forprofit company. “That money will flow through our coffers and it goes to our customers in the form of equity, investment, loans, grants, and the operation of our organization. When you look at the leverage, it’s probably twice that. That’s very significant and we’re very proud of that impact,” he said. Prince Edward-Hastings MP Daryl Kramp said the federal government is taking note of the work being done. “Every time I talk about PELA, the results speak for themselves. The results have been literally nothing short of tremendous,” Kramp said. “You’re one of the leading

CFDC in the country, if not the leading one.” Kramp said he believes the organization works because it has informed local people making decisions locally. With PELA CFDC’s track record, he said he’s willing to ask for the community, knowing it did its homework. One of the big reasons for PELA CFDC’s growth is a one-time pilot project it struck with First Stone Venture Partners to provide between $400,000 to $500,000 of investment to help early-stage technology companies locating in Prince Edward or Lennox and Addington as part of the Upper Canada Equity Fund. The federal government and First Stone each put forward $5 million. “Dealing with the various levels of bureaucracy can be

mind-boggling and frustrating. To do a one-off program just doesn’t happen. Bureaucracy likes the silos,” Kramp said. “To step outside those boundaries of comfort can be exceedingly difficult. When we took a look at the venture capital program, right off the bat it was ‘you’ve got to be kidding me,’ but you did the sell job as a pilot.” With that work, Kramp said the region attracted venture capital dollars that usually go to major urban centres, not rural areas. He added that decisions will likely be made after the fall election about additional access-to-capital programs in rural areas, so PELA CFDC has some weight on its shoulders to make that a success. Kramp said he’s looking for the organization to be able to provide even more

opportunities for the area. “Every CFDC in the country doesn’t operate with this effectiveness. A lot of my colleagues say how do they do it. I say its people, people, people. If I’m looking for data or materials or contacts to make things happen, you folks are in the business of making things happen,” he said. “You’re doing a great job. I want more. I want you to do an even better job. I’m going to look at ways to provide more opportunities for you. You’re a proven factor.” Desjardins said the Upper Canada Equity Fund is already in the investment stage with announcements pending. While that fund’s $5-million boost is a major reason for a 278-per-cent growth in PELA CFDC’s revenue to serve its clients, another is a provincial program called EYE (Empowering Young Entrepreneurs). EYE brought in $200,000 in 2014 and another $100,000 in 2014. Thus far, PELA CFDC has served 23 entrepreneurs between the ages of 18-29. Through the funding, those participants received a collective 150-plus hours of in-class training, $3,000 each in startup funding, wrap-around support such as day care or transportation money, and mentorship support. The first intake saw 11 part-time and nine full-time jobs created. Another 15 people are expected to be trained this year.

JUNE 25, 2015

Grilling season has arrived, and amateur grillmasters everywhere are gearing up for another summer of backyard barbecues and family dinners outside under the summer sun. But once you fire up that grill and cook your first hot dog of the season, your work is not quite done. Cleaning the grill after you have eaten makes it easier to prolong the life of your grill and ensure the foods you eat are safe to consume. â&#x20AC;˘ Turn the grill off. Unless you own a charcoal grill, chances are your grill has dials that govern how hot the grill gets when cooking. Make sure these dials are turned to the off position before you start cleaning. If yourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is a gas grill, disconnect the gas while wearing gloves to reduce your risk of accident or injury. â&#x20AC;˘ Use the residual heat to make cleaning easier. The sooner you start cleaning the grill after you cook, the easier it might be to make the cooking surfaces sparkle. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because the residual heat can make it easier to remove any leftover buildup from barbecue sauce or seasoning that stuck to the grill after you removed your food. â&#x20AC;˘ Use a wire brush to clean the cooking grates. Wire brushes are ideal for cleaning cooking grates. Such brushes can quickly remove grease and food particles, saving grill owners the trouble of scrubbing away with traditional sponges. Once the wire brushâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work is done, you can then clean the grill with a soapy sponge. â&#x20AC;˘ Remove food that fell into the well. Food inevitably falls into the well of a grill no matter how skilled a grillmaster might be. If left to fester in the well, such foods can pose a safety risk and promote the growth of bacteria. â&#x20AC;˘ Clean the remaining areas of the grill. Marinade, sauce or condiments may find their way onto areas of your grill, and if left unattended, such substances can make a grill very dirty over time. Remove these substances after each barbecue to keep your grill looking new through the summer.

Loss of OSEB funding after 23 years ‘terrible blow’ to rural communities CFDC, from page 14

“The 18-29 demographic is a much younger segment than we usually serve,” Desjardins said. Some other impressive

financials for PELA CFDC overall include a 70-per-cent growth in funds balance and a one-per-cent decrease in operating funds. PELA CFDC fund outlays brought a 1.7per-cent return on investment.

For every public dollar it invested, the private sector invested $1.85. Desjardins noted that PELA CFDC offers several services to help encourage economic development and entrepreneurship. Among them are business advisory services, community economic development initiatives, loans, granting, and strategic planning exercises with local municipalities. He said the organization exceeded its targets in many of those areas. This year, the PELA team advised 165 businesses, which Desjardins said is almost one a day, excluding weekends and holidays. It held 12 workshops, made 60 referrals, and had in-depth interviews with 203 businesses. It estimates that 772 jobs were created or maintained as the result of that advisory service. With respect to community development, PELA CFDC worked with 20 partners on six projects last year. It invested $4,685 and managed to leverage $1,078,377 with that money. PELA CFDC offers a loan program of up-to-$250,000 to help businesses with start-up costs, building purchase or

renovation, leasehold improvements, equipment upgrades, inventory and working capital. This year, 39 businesses were assisted with a total outlay of $1.73 million, 85 per cent of the organization’s loan portfolio. Some 174 jobs were created or maintained and the loans helped leverage $3.2 million. Loan officer Carla Vincent indicated the offices fielded 1,042 inquiries and received 44 applications for loan funding. The organization also administered the Ontario SelfEmployment Benefit (OSEB) in 2014-2015, leading up to the province’s abrupt cancellation of the program in May. Desjardins said the OSEB program experienced a slow start locally last year, but picked up late in the year following an aggressive Facebook marketing campaign featuring success stories. Some 111 people attended OSEB orientation through PELA CFDC with 24 business concepts assessed and recommended to the Ministry of Training, Colleges, and Universities. All 24 completed the program. Eight clients transitioned from the first phase of the program since April 1 and

some 10 new clients started since. Desjardins said demand remained strong. “Even though the program has been identified as being closed, we received six people in the last month who would have been eligible. Regardless of the numbers the province has stated, demand locally has been very strong.” Through the Eastern Ontario Development Program (EODP), PELA CDFC hands out non-refundable grants for up to 50 per cent of eligible costs for the categories of product and market development, adaptation to technology, skills development, investment attraction, job creation, and business infrastructure support. This past year, 41 projects were supported as PELA CFDC handed out its entire $450,000 fund allocation. An additional $1,582,386 were leveraged. Some 37 jobs were created and 364 were impacted. EODP co-ordinator Katie Gould-Creasy said the program is in its second year of a five-year commitment and PELA CFDC is focusing on creating jobs and products, reaching new markets, and growing applicants’ revenues.

Target industries this year include value-added agriculture, media and technology, manufacturing and trades and services. Desjardins said another highlight for PELA CFDC this past year was business incubation as it launched the Napanee Innovation Academy and partnered with Javelin Technologies, a 3D printing leader. He said one of the first tenants at the site is Fire X Protection and he added CUPE has also taken up residence and is discussing skills training partnerships. Moving into the new fiscal year, Desjardins said PELA CFDC will look to recruit volunteers and work on its new strategic plan, which will be due within the year. He added with the cancellation of OSEB after 23 years, a move he called a “terrible blow to rural communities” they’ll also be on the lookout for new programs to help clients. “We don’t just take on programs because they have money, we take on programs because they have a strategic fit in what we do and have a fit in our communities,” he said. “We’ll be looking at other programs we can offer.”

Canada Day, once known as Dominion Day, marks the anniversary of July 1, 1867. On this day, Canada was officially born when the British North America Act, 1867 (today called the Constitution Act, 1867) joined the three colonies of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and the province of Canada into one country. The province of Canada later split into Ontario and Quebec. Canada became a kingdom in its own right on July 1, with the British parliament and Cabinet only keeping limited rights of political control over the new Canadian country. By 1982, however, the last vestiges of British control were surrendered. It was also in this year that, after decades of deliberation, Dominion Day was renamed to Canada Day. Canada Day is a day for all Canadians to express their patriotism. Parades and parties are held, and the Canadian flag is proudly displayed on homes and businesses. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police have a special group of 32 officers called the RCMP Musical Ridey, who may perform at Canada Day celebrations. Picnics, festivals and sporting events also are part of the festivities. Fireworks displays dot the night sky, and many residents can be heard singing the Canadian national anthem, “O Canada,” which is based on a poem written by Robert Stanley Weir in 1908.

Happy Birthday CANADA! From

Celebrate Canada Day At The Picton Golf Club

We're going to celebrate Canada Day in style.

CCACs also determine eligibility and make arrangements for admission to some day programs, supportive housing/assisted living programs, and to certain chronic care and rehabilitation beds, and to all long-term care facilities. Whether you are just beginning to explore your needs or are ready to finalize arrangements, the local CCAC can help you: n Identify your care needs; n Explore the options best suited to your needs and personal situation; n Determine your eligibility for government-funded services and settings; n Gather information about providers (home, community support services and residential care) in your area; n Find out how services are delivered; n Determine the availability of financial subsidies for particular service options; n Arrange for delivery of government-funded home and community support services; n Apply for admission to a day program, supportive housing or assisted living program, or certain chronic or rehabilitation beds; n Apply for and arrange admission to a long-term care home; n Get on the appropriate waiting lists.

COMMUNITY SUPPORT SERVICES

Community support services are the kind of service available through Prince Edward Community Care for Seniors. Often called CSS, to access these services people can contact the agency directly to arrange these services for seniors who are living in Prince Edward County. Information can be found on the web site of the Ministry of Health and Longterm Care at www.health.gov.on.ca Community support services help you to maintain your safety and independence while living at home. Services are delivered either in your home or in different locations around your community. Organizations that provide these services are non-profit corporations. There are a wide

variety of community support services which may be available in your area. Community support services are fully or partially funded by the Ministry of Health and Long-term Care and are delivered by community-based, not-for-profit agencies that rely heavily on volunteers. Historically, services were developed locally in response to local needs and vary from community to community. Clients can access services directly through self referral. Services available through Prince Edward Community Care for Seniors

include: security, transportation; meal services, congregate dining, caregiver respite, caregiver support groups, foot care, home help, social and recreational services, and home maintenance and repair. All of these services are available from Prince Edward Community Care for Seniors. Unlike the CCAC services, some of Community Careâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s services have a client fee attached. This is a requirement of our funding agreement with the province. Call 613-476-7493 for information, to make an

appointment to see a coordinator (in the office or in your home), or go to the website at www.communitycareforseniors.org If any questions or comments please send them to info@communitycareforseniors.org.

Sometimes people seem to confuse Community Care for Seniors and the Community Care Access Centre. These are two very different organizations. The Prince Edward County Community Care for Seniors Association was established in 1977 and incorporated in 1979 to support seniors to live at home through volunteer-based programming. When the Ontario Ministry of Health and Longterm Care changed the name of home care programs to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Community Care Access Centreâ&#x20AC;? the existing agencies named â&#x20AC;&#x153;Community Careâ&#x20AC;? requested that a different name be chosen so as not to confuse the public. This was not done and Community Care Access Centres, also referred to as CCACs, were established across Ontario. You can look up the following information on the ministryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s web site at w w w. h e a l t h . g o v. o n . c a . Community Care Access Centres (CCACs) are local agencies that provide information about care options in your area. They help people to: live independently at home; apply for admission to a day program, supportive housing or assisted living program, or certain chronic care or rehabilitation facilities; apply for admission to a long-term care home. CCACs also provide information about local community support service agencies and can link people to these agencies to arrange services. The CCACs were established by the Ministry of Health and Long-term Care in 1996 to help the public access government-funded home and community services, and long-term care homes. CCACs work together, and with physicians, hospital teams and other health care providers to enhance access and co-ordination for people who need care in their own homes in the community, in supportive housing, or in a Long-Term Care Home. CCACs coordinate services for seniors, people with disabilities and people who need health care services to help them live independently in the community. Staff at the centres provide informa-

Dukes add pair of Empire league prospects to their back end Wellington inks young, local talent in Hunter, Girduckis JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER

The Wellington Dukes are looking close to home to fill out their blue line for the upcoming season. The Junior A club announced recently that they have signed Empire B Junior C graduates Aidan Girduckis and Liam Hunter for the 2015-2016 season. Ironically, both defenders played with the Picton Pirates to start the season but were on other Empire clubs when the 2014-2015 campaign was completed. Girduckis played a handful of games in Picton, scoring one goal and adding one assist before the Napanee Raiders singed the former County resident off the Quinte AAA Red Devil roster. Despite breaking his ankle during the season, Girduckis, 16, appeared in 15 games for the Raiders and registered 17 points (three goals, 14 assists). Hunter played 29 games for Picton, picking up three goals and 13 assists before a late season trade saw him moved on to Deseronto where the Norwood native had seven points (two goals, five assists) in eight games for the sad-sack Storm. In addition to his travels in the Empire, Hunter suited up for Wellington for three games last season in an injury call up role. Both are currently playing for the Belleville club in the spring Central Development Hockey League and are welcome additions to Wellington according to Dukes coach and general manager Marty Abrams. “Girduckis is a high-energy, hard-nosed defenceman that has great offensive instincts,” Abrams said. “For a guy his size, he's got great flair for the offensive side of the game which will help us on the power play and in five-on-five situations,” he said. Hunter has been a star for the Belleville team this

spring, notching eight goals and eight assists in 11 games. “He's a puck-moving defenceman and he's shown a lot of confidence in the spring league,” Abrams said. He's one of the best defenceman in the league and he's developed into a confident player.” Both are also considered local players. “Part of our mandate this season is to have a more local feel and have more players from the Quinte area in our lineup,” Abrams added. n In other Ontario Junior Hockey League news, the loop announced that there will be a pair of showcase events this season. In addition to the usual Governor's Showcase taking place this year in Buffalo, New York in mid-September, each Conference will host a showcase event. Abrams said the Dukes

have expressed an interest in hosting the Northeastern Conference showcase in January and will be making a formal bid in the coming days. Meanwhile at the Ontario Hockey Association’s 126th annual general meeting Saturday in Alliston, the Dukes were among a select group of Junior A clubs honoured as part of Club 90 in the OHA’s Tomorrow’s Game initiative. The ongoing process set forth standard operating procedures for every team in the OHA’s jurisdiction. to standardize the experience for players. An OHA evaluator visited the Dukes this season and deemed they exceeded the 90per-cent threshold in both mandatory and recommended activities. As a reward, the team is eligible to receive financial or equipment incentives.

Golfers, sponsors help buy echocardiogram for heart monitoring

The Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation’s most recent drive for priority medical equipment gained some serious yardage last Tuesday. The inaugural Teeing Up Fore Health Care Golf Classic brought 76 players to the links at the Picton Golf and Country Club, raising $22,548. The event was started by Re/Max Quinte realtors in an effort to pass the $250,000 mark in foundation sponsorship and reach the Grand Benefactor sponsor level. Agent Kevin Gale was a member of the organizing committee. He said the inaugural exceeded expectations. “It was awesome for a first attempt. Thankfully the sun came out, we weren’t too sure at first,” he said. “The response has been quite positive and we’re already planning for our second annual next year.” Gale said he was pleased with the amount of community support shown toward the tournament and he anticipates that will grow over time. The corporate sponsorship received a huge boost with Wilkinson and Company coming as the title sponsor. Market High Advertising, Parkside Landscaping, The Wellings of Picton, McDougall Insurance, the Sorbara Group, Sobeys, and Huff Estates were other major sponsors, while 40 local businesses came on board with hole sponsorships. The proceeds from the tournament come within $1,000 of the purchase of a new echocardiogram (ECG)

machine to be used for heart monitoring at the hospital. That piece of equipment was a priority as part of the foundation’s current Life Saver Campaign, which has a goal of raising $350,000. Other equipment sought include scopes, vital sign monitors, a chemical analyzer, and a blood analyzer. Foundation chair Leo Finnegan said he was pleased with the efforts of Re/Max realtors and their partners to buy the machine. “Our goal is to build partnerships in the county with businesses and others who will work with us to meet the needs of our fundraising endeavours,” Finnegan said. “We are proud of Re/Max’s efforts to Tee Up Fore Health Care in support of our hospital. Finnegan noted the hospital treats more than 18,000 patients in its emergency department annually with about 1,000 admitted for further care. On the course, the Market High Advertising team of Kerry McConkey, Braden McConkey, Steve Parks, and Graham Fox fared best, turning in a scramble score of 10 under par. In the longest drive competition, Drew Byford was the leading male golfer and Kristen Nash the top female. Sean McKinney was the closest male to the pin, while Wendy Salt earned that honour among female golfers. A draw was held as another money-raising initiative. Curt Conder won a ride in the Re/Max hot air balloon, an overnight stay and dinner for two at the Waring House.

Bert Ginn won dinner for two at the Drake Devonshire Inn and Henry Goddard won a $50 LCBO gift card, donated by Wellings of Picton. -Staff

Community development commission to handle destination marketing Carbone suggests funds previously allocated to Taste The County be reallocated internally to provide services, attractions to cater to visitors CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

The municipality's community development commission will be taking over destination marketing services for Prince Edward County permanently. The municipality would also assist other groups in support of priority destination marketing products and services, co-ordinate media and public relations activities, co-ordinate familiarization tours, collateral product development, production, and distribution — such as lure publications — and destination development, improving visitor services and attractions. The topic was first discussed at the June 11 committee-of-the-whole meeting before receiving approval

from council. At the June 11 meeting, councillor Bill Roberts spoke in favour of the recommendation. “It's pretty clear that destination marketing services are essential for proactive municipalities when it comes to a very visitor-centered approach for cultural and truly economic development,” he said. The municipality has already been delivering the services since the closure of Taste the County in April 2014. The community development department assumed many destination marketing services on an ad hoc basis to ensure they would continue through 2014 and 2015. Roberts said the work is now essentially a core

service. “It comes directly from the community development strategic plan as approved in 2014, it clarifies the mandate of community development, and it's funded through existing budgets,” he said.

Councillor Janice Maynard said at the committee meeting she'd like to see clearer metrics when dealing with such destination marketing services. “I would like to see that there's quantitative results shown from that,” she said. “We need to know what we're getting for our money, and also comparators to other communities that are handling this type of promotion.” Community development director Neil Carbone told councillors at the committee meeting that many municipalities — many of which don't have as large of a tourism sector as Prince Edward County — have entire tourism departments. He said that's not the plan for the county.

“Really all we're suggesting is that funds that were traditionally allocated to Taste the County — in varied amounts over the years, but most recently approximately $50,000 — be reallocated internally in order to provide some of those services,” he said. He said the municipality wouldn't take on all the services Taste the County had traditionally provided. The County wouldn't directly fund some signature products and wouldn't be directly involved in events aside from some sponsorship or in-kind support. Carbone said the department is gradually moving toward providing more metrics. He gave an example of the recent Great Canadian Cheese Festival, which

attracted thousands to the county, primarily from the key markets of Toronto and Ottawa. “Over 5,000 people attended which is a 10 per cent increase from last year,” he said. “We are tracking those numbers when there's any type of sponsorship or any advertising or marketing that's being purchased.” A staff report presented to council says co-ordinating the destination marketing services will enable the county benefit from consistent, strategic, and effective leveraging of local resources and assets while ensuring destination marketing activities and tourism product development continue. The report says these are key to the county's ongoing economic development.

Ontario Releases First Annual Local Food Report

Ontario has launched its first-ever Local Food Report, which measures the province's progress in bringing local food to more tables across the province. In 2013, Ontario passed the Local Food Act, 2013 which aims to increase awareness of local food, nurture local food markets and foster vibrant food-based economies across the province. The Act also commits to an annual report on the province's local food activities, goals and accomplishments. The first ever Local Food Report highlights some of the actions taken by the province and the agri-food sector to promote and celebrate local food this year, including: • Setting food literacy goals to increase the number of Ontarians who know what local foods are available, who know how and where to obtain local foods and who know how to prepare meals made with local food. • Providing a tax credit to farmers for making food donations to food banks and student nutrition programs. • Piloting a fundraising initiative that helps the province's schools to fundraise by selling Ontario-grown fruits and vegetables to families. • Distributing more than 800,000 copies of Foodland Ontario's local food recipe calendar in 2014. The inaugural report will help the province track future progress in meeting its local food goals. Supporting local food and strengthening the province's agri-food sector is part of the government's economic plan for Ontario. The four-part plan is building Ontario up by investing in people's talents and skills, making the largest public infrastructure investment in Ontario's history, creating a dynamic, innovative environment where business thrives, and building a secure retirement savings plan. QUICK FACTS

The Local Food Act, 2013, is part of a broader strategy intended to increase demand for Ontario food, creating more jobs and boosting the agri-food industry’s contributions to the economy. Ontario’s agri-food sector supports farmers, communities and the economy which employs more than 780,000 Ontarians and contributes over $34 billion to the province’s economy. To raise awareness of local food, the Local Food Act proclaims the first week of June each year as Local Food Week. For more than 38 years, Foodland Ontario has connected with families on how to recognize, prepare and love local foods.

Hospital foundation looking forward to eventful 30th anniversary year Finnegan says he’s hopeful a positive announcement is forthcoming on new hospital proposal that would trigger planning for capital campaign JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER

The Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation is celebrating a successful year of fundraising for medical equipment needs at the local institution with an eye on upcoming developments. Or should that be redevelopments? The foundation hosted a public information meeting that the Picton Town Hall Friday afternoon to summarize the past year of operations and provide an overview of what the group has in store for the upcoming year. In existence since 1985, the foundation has raised $6.5 million in the past 15 years to support its mission of outfitting PECMH with the latest in priority medical equipment- a cost that is not covered by the Ministry of Health and Long-term-care.

LEO FINNEGAN

“As they say, we’ve come a long way. But the thing about hospital foundations is that the need never stops. Every year we must strive to raise the same and even more if we are to keep our hospital system and our standard of care high,” chair Leo Finnegan told the public, media and various board members and guests Friday.

For this and many other reasons, 2015 is a milestone year for the foundation. It will celebrate its 30th anniversary and Finnegan promises it will be a memorable year. “Perhaps the most exciting announcement we anticipate toward the end of the year is whether we will be building a new hospital at Picton. The Ministry of Health and Longterm-care is currently considering the development proposal submitted by QHC and the LHIN,” Finnegan said. “If we get the answer we hope for, we will be into the planning process for a capital fundraising campaign by early next year.” Mary Clare Egberts, the president and chief executive officer of the Quinte Healthcare Corporation (QHC), brought greetings from the hospital group and said that the foundation was a valuable partner for all the great work

that had been accomplished in the past year and would be counted on in the coming years when the plans to redevelop PECMH at a new site were finally approved. “I know this group is well prepared for the challenge of fundraising for a new hospital. The ministry and the LHIN seem to be right there with us and we hope to have some news soon. I'd like to say very soon but we know quick isn't in the ministry's vocabulary when it comes to new hospitals but I can see you are on a really great track as we move forward,” Egberts said. In the past year, the foundation succeeded in reaching the campaign goal to raise $237,000 to cover the cost of purchasing new cardiac monitoring equipment. In 2015-2016, the foundation launched its Life Savers Campaign to raise almost $350,000 for replacement

medical equipment including a chemical and blood analyzer, an ECG machine, vital signs monitors, as well as for replacement colonoscopies and gastroscopes for day surgery programs. According to Finnegan, raising the funds required locally takes innovation, imagination, initiative, perseverance and persuasion. Among the interesting and persuasive events already held includes the All You Need is Love concert this past February that netted the Foundation $40,000. More recently, the LockyerWard estate art auction raised over $17,500 and Tuesday, the foundation continued its partnership with RE/MAX to host Teeing Up Fore Health Care at the Picton Golf and Country Club which resulted in more than $22,000 being raised. Last night, a special screening of The Sound of Music was

staged at the Regent Theatre to, celebrate its 50th anniversary this year. Heather Menzies-Urich, who played the third child, Louisa Von Trapp was to appear. She will answer audience questions during the screening. On July 25, the Rotary Club of Picton and the foundation are partnering to host the All Canadian Wine Championships, Passport to Canada, a new county event will take place at the Crystal Palace and include a tasting opportunity for hundreds of Canadian wines, as well as a barbecue and dance and Huff Estates has once again named the Foundation as the beneficiary of its signature Six Barrels for Six Chefs.. “That’s just a taste of what’s coming. As I said, it promises to be a memorable year, Finnegan added.

Lloyst won’t seek permanent role Four-year plan for museums approved CHAD IBBOTSON

Current foundation employee withdraws from competition

STAFF WRITER

JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER

The Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation will be looking for a new, permanent executive director later this summer. And it won't be someone who has served in the role for the past 18 months. Foundation chair Leo Finnegan announced today that interim director of development, Hazel Lloyst, has informed the foundation board that she will not be seeking the permanent staff position of executive director. The board appointed Lloyst to her interim contract position 18 months ago with the intention of launching a competitive process for the permanent position at a later date. In keeping with that plan, the board opened the competition for the executive director position by releasing an employment opportunity announcement in May. “We truly regret losing Hazel in this competition for the permanent position of executive director. For the year-anda-half that she has been with the Foundation, she has brought not only a wealth of knowledge and expertise in the realm of community charitable fund-raising, but also an energy and enthusiasm that has refreshed and reinvigorated the foundation board and

office,” Finnegan said. “Hazel’s positive attitude earned her the respect and gratitude of the board and the members of the community who are closely aligned with the status of our hospital. We wish her every success and happiness in her new pursuits.” Finnegan said Lloyst cited a long-time desire to explore other creative interests as the reason for her decision to withdraw from the competition. Lloyst will remain with the foundation until the end of August and during the next two months will continue to orchestrate a number of community fundraising events. During her comments at the foundation's public infor-

mation meeting Friday afternoon, Lloyst made no mention of her intention not to seek the top position with the group that raises funds for medical equipment at the local hospital but did look back on fondly on the past year. Despite having grown up here, Lloyst has been reintroducing herself during her short time with the foundation and said she could appreciate how vital PECMH is in the day-to-day lives of county residents. “The county has not disappointed me,” Lloyst said. “The support and the passion this community has for their ROAD, from page 1 hospital truly inspires me each and every day.” While the tender was ultimately accepted by council, there were some who called for more information before making a decision. tion as the amount of highway Councillor David Harrison traffic in the county balloons called for the discussion to be with the summer season. “Certainly beware deferred until all the new throughout the year but we councillors elected in October have to appreciate where we could get a full debriefing on live and the influx of traffic the Wellings of Picton develthat comes through our area opment and age-in-place this time of year,” Mann said. plan. “I would ask every motorist to “The whole thing has use extra caution before they never been brought before the depart for their travels.” new councillors as to where

Council gave approval on Tuesday to a new four-year strategic plan for the Museums of Prince Edward County. The Museums of Prince Edward County comprises five seasonal museums which act as caretakers for 35 buildings, an estimated 50,000 artifacts, and many gardens, parklands, orchards, and an early 19th century cemetery. The strategic plan process began in November 2014 and will take the museums from 2015 to 2018. The process gave the museums a chance to evaluate its offerings and revisit its mission and mandate, and to determine multi-year priorities. The plan follows previous plans adopted in 2006 and 2010. The Museum Advisory Committee gave their approval to the plan before it was presented to council. The strategic plan was completed in-house through consultation with various stakeholder groups and outlines four strategic goals which will inform an action plan and operations at the museums for the next four years. The four identified goals were museum visibility, audience engagement, preserving assets, and promot-

ing one entity at five sites. In terms of museum visibility, the goal is immersion in the county's contemporary, social and political culture. Some of the strategic objectives associated with this goal involved aligning with the County brand, rebranding the Museums of Prince Edward County as “The County Museums,” and cultivating partnerships around themes like food, wine, arts, and nature. For audience engagement the goal is responsiveness to needs and relationship building. Strategic objectives include creating opportunities for repeat visits with things like “community day” events, prioritizing interactivity with technology and in other ways with participatory experiences in new exhibitions and tours. Establishing a First Nations exhibit in consultation with the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte is also identified as a strategic objective. For preserving assets, the goal is sustaining museum collections and buildings for the long term. Identified strategic objectives include; identifying short and longterm opportunities to improve cleaning, curb appeal and day-to-day maintenance at the museum, upgrading collections management software, and undertaking a qual-

itative analysis of the collections. Lastly, the one entity, five sites strategic goal calls for renewed commitment to the concept of the museum system. Offering a collective training program once annually to all summer staff and museum volunteers with consistent messaging and information about the museum system, working toward one “friends of the museum” organization with localized working groups if desired, and co-ordinating advertising, are each identified as strategic objectives. The action plan is slated to come forward in September of this year, which will identify lead staff, potential partnerships and timelines of the proposed initiatives. A staff report presented to councillors says it's important to keep the plans current in order to address challenges directly, take advantage of opportunities and respond to community needs. While there will be financial implications for some of what's proposed, the report says those required resources “will be evaluated on an annual basis and introduced through the budget process.” Short-term priorities, completed in 2015, will be based on available operating funds.

Harrison’s motion of deferral for further briefing defeated the beginning, where the end of this is,” he said. Councillor Roy Pennell agreed. “I'd like a full explanation of what is entitled for this payment,” he said. “We're elected to look after the taxpayers' money.” The motion was ultimately defeated. Engineering, development, and works commissioner Robert McAuley said while the traffic lights will be needed in order to develop the full 41-acre age-in-place site, they aren't necessary for the first phase of the Wellings project

and can be constructed at a later date. He said this tender is the first of two key pieces to service the site, saying next year's budget includes significant dollars to connect the land to municipal services. “In next year's budget the servicing to connect the road to the rest of the system is in there and that's a couple of million on top,” he said. “The county is now undertaking an environmental assessment and we'll be constructing further works through 2016 in order to actually make these services live.”

Volunteers and community backers of Hospice Prince Edward continue to seek information about the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s direction in the wake of executive director Nancy Parksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; departure this month. This week, some answers began to emerge from players involved in the residential hospice pilot project. In an open letter distributed to media Sunday, volunteers Jean Algar, Pat Dye, Annette Gaskin, and Marianne Malachowski indicated they were â&#x20AC;&#x153;deeply disappointedâ&#x20AC;? by the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inability to meet with them. They noted rumours regarding changes to services are rife in the community and asked if new policies were being proposed and if those would affect volunteersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; duties. The volunteer also asked about the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans for transparency and communications from volunteers and asked why there hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been an annual general meeting in 2014 to share business. The next day, Hospice Prince Edward Foundation president Linda Middleton sent a communication to the volunteers and staff from her personal e-mail, expressing regret a previous correspondence from the board did not reach its intended targets. In her correspondence, which was presented on Hospice letterhead, Middleton told the volunteers there had been ongoing discussions between Hospice, the South East Community Care Access Centre (SE CCAC), which the South East Local Health Integration Network (SE LHIN) funds to provide nursing care at the residential hospice centre about the operations of that centre. Middleton said â&#x20AC;&#x153;the LHIN instructed HPEF in April that in order to continue to receive our funding, we were required to adhere to their conditions and abide to the memorandum of understanding with CCAC.â&#x20AC;? At that time, designated board and staff members worked with the CCAC to develop a path forward to provide care for future residents. Middleton said some discussion and concerns arose from that path â&#x20AC;&#x201D; though she did not elaborate on the nature of those concerns in her e-mail â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the board decided to move forward. A member of the board and staff started roundtable discussions with the CCAC and, Middleton said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it was shortly thereafter that (Parks) submitted her resignation as executive director.â&#x20AC;? Reached about those discussions, SE LHIN chief executive officer Paul Huras said the LHIN never threatened to remove funding from the residential hospice program. Huras said Hospice wanted the funding to go directly

to it, but he stated the LHIN had already set out the model to provide funding for nursing and PSWs through the CCAC for the centre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They needed to accept the model provided,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding the LHIN has to abide by legislation as to which organizations are eligible to be funded for nursing care and there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a need to create a new service provider. Huras said both Hospice and the CCAC spoke with the LHIN individually and it stressed the need for them to work with one another. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They worked very well together. The (Hospice) board said it was comfortable with the discussions and did what we asked them to do,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was quite pleased with the outcome.â&#x20AC;? Huras ensured the LHIN remains committed to the pilot project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want that program to be successful. Those who do want their family members to end-of-life care services in a hospice setting should be able to receive them,â&#x20AC;? he told the Gazette. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re committed to ensuring end-of-life care in that community and elsewhere in the South East. Asked what the path forward entails, CCAC communications manager Gary Buffett said the organizations have agreed â&#x20AC;&#x153;a strong collaborative approach will guide our way forward;â&#x20AC;? to incorporate the role of hospice volunteers to ensure a maximum amount of support for patients and families; and to have joint visits with patients and families during the application and assessment process where both Hospice and CCAC representatives will explain what to expect, what services would be available, and from whom.â&#x20AC;? Buffett explained that services in the residential centre would be available 24 hours a day and seven days a week with the greatest focus being in assuring effective symptom management. For example, he said if a patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assessment says that a patient needs 20 hours of nursing care, that would be complemented by staff, volunteers, or therapy providers to ensure they are cared for around the clock. Those patients who require 24-hour nursing care will receive it. Buffett indicated the model still holds volunteers to be an

integral part of the operations of the centre, but would not put them in the position of offering care that had been provided by a nurse or PSW. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many volunteers have requested to be more handson than they have in the past and are welcoming the opportunity to sit and read a book to a resident, share life stories, listen to music with them, et cetera.â&#x20AC;? Buffett also added there were no issues with the use of volunteers in the care model. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hospice Prince Edward is fortunate to have a great team of dedicated volunteers. There have been no issues with volunteers other than they may have previously been underutilized in providing support to patients and families.â&#x20AC;? There have been nine patients admitted at the centre thus far this year. Middleton

said there is one resident there now and two passed away there last week. Hospice and the CCAC issued a joint press release yesterday stating they look forward to working together to continue providing muchneeded compassionate and supportive care in the community. The release stated that Hospice volunteers will soon have access to additional palliative care training with a palliative pain and symptom management consultant from the CCAC. Middleton stated the board feels it has a capable interim administrator in Angela Jodoin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Angelaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership skills and breadth of experience will serve the organization and community well as we look forward to providing residential hospice palliative care in the community,â&#x20AC;? she said. Middleton also offered appreciation for the efforts Parks put forward and the advancement she offered while at the helm of the organization. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We appreciate Nancyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts over the last six years and Hospice Prince Edward is proud of our record in the community under her leadership,â&#x20AC;? she said. Huras also noted Parks had â&#x20AC;&#x153;done a lot of good workâ&#x20AC;? with Hospice and indicated it was sad she felt she had to resign. Keep reading the Gazette in coming weeks for emerging details about this story.

Hospice, CCAC hold closed meeting with volunteers Public meeting set for June 29 at Picton arena ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

Officials from Hospice Prince Edward and the South East Community Care Access Centre (SE CCAC) met with volunteers and staff in a standing-room only closeddoor meeting Tuesday. According to a media release issued following the event, the meeting was called by Hospice Prince Edward Foundation board chair Linda Middleton to share plans moving forward and to answer volunteersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; questions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We feel it is important to come together to share what is happening in this transitional period and share accurate information with our valued team of staff and volunteers,â&#x20AC;? Middleton said. Part of the meeting focused on the original memorandum of understanding between Hospice and the SE CCAC and outlines the services provided at the residential hospice centre. SE CCAC senior director of client services Joan Billing spoke about how services will be provided. She indicated there has been confusion around 24-hour care versus 24-hour service. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hospice must provide 24hour care by using a mix of contracted professional serv-

ices through the CCAC and working with families and hospice volunteers,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, this doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean that 24-hour professional service is automatic.â&#x20AC;? Billing indicated a care coordinator assesses patients who would be admitted at the home and if 24-hour professional service is deemed necessary it would be provided. One care co-ordinator has been assigned to the centre to provide consistency with assessments. Interim administrator Angela Jodoin is a registered nurse with experience in acute care, ICU, and as a CCAC care co-ordinator. She said her primary interest is patient care. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I agreed to take this role on an interim basis to get things moving. My primary concern is to work with families to make sure they receive exemplary care,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every patient and their families are different and we have to manage the services they receive according to their individual need.â&#x20AC;? Jodoin said through working as a team with the CCAC, Hospice can strive to improve and make its service the best it can be for the people of the county. The release stated there was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;robust question-and-answer session,â&#x20AC;? which Middleton said was appreciated.

Thank You is not enough for all the offers of help that we have received in the past 6 months. Many thanks for all the lovely meals that neighbours and family have delivered to our door.

The family of the late Barbara Eleanor McConnell would like to thank Hick’s Funeral Home for the special care they gave our mother. It was much appreciated. We would also like to thank Flowers ‘n Such for the beautiful arrangements of flowers in memory of our mom from her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. We would like to thank all those who attended our Mom’s visitation and funeral and those people who sent cards, flowers, emails, phone calls, and brought food. Also, thank you to those who donated in our mom’s memory to the P.E.C. Women’s Auxiliary and the Salvation Army. Your thoughtfulness will always be remembered. A special thank you to the doctors who looked after our mom, Dr. Koval, Dr. Haigh, Dr. Levesque, Dr. Demetz, and all their staff. Their care was amazing. A special thank you goes out to Heather Campbell: your kindness will always be remembered as will that of Maureen James, our main VON nurse, and all the other nurses from VON. Thank you to Amanda Friel Brown from C.C.A.C. who coordinated all of the care mom received at home, and to Mary Lou Timpson, the O.T., to Medi Gas and staff, Ontario Medical Supply for meeting our Mom’s equipment needs, and the Quinte Access bus for taking our mom to see her home for one last time. We couldn’t have gotten her there without their support. What a good thing to have in our community. A special thank you goes out to Rev. Sue Fleming for her beautiful service and also to Dr. Philip Baldwin, Mom’s grandson, for the eulogy. It was such a special tribute to his grandmother. She would have been proud. A special thank you to the pallbearers, our mom’s grandsons, Kyle, Nicholas, Philip and Joshua Baldwin, Shane McConnell and Daniel Cole. Their grandmother, we’re sure, was smiling down on them with great pride. If our Mom were still with us she would want to say to everyone “I appreciate everything you’ve done for me. Thank you ever so much.” That is how her family feels also. Thanks again, Yvonne, Sandra & Bruce Baldwin, Gordon, Kevin & Andrea, Debbie, Cathy & Danny Cole and all mom’s grandchildren and great grandchildren.

In loving memory of Les, who passed away June 27, 2010 Gone is the face we loved so dear, Silent is the voice we loved to hear. Too far away for sight or speech, But not too far for thought to reach.

Howard E. Carr

In loving memory of my darling husband, Howard E. Carr, who left us on June 27, 2014. A million times I needed you A million times I’ve cried, If love alone could have saved you You never would have died. In life I loved you dearly, In death I love you still. In my heart you hold a place No one else can fill. It broke my heart to lose you But you didn’t go alone Part of me went with you The day God took you Home. So rest in Heaven free of pain Until someday we’ll meet again. Sadly missed and love you always, your loving wife, Elsie. In loving memory of our dad and grandpa, Howard E. Carr, September 12, 1934-June 27, 2014.

To us you were very special What more is there to say Except to wish with all our hearts That you were here today The tears in our eyes We can wipe away But the pain in our hearts Will forever stay. Always loved and missed, Nellie, Debbie, Doreen, Joanne, Gloria, Roger, Bobby and your loving grandchildren especially Jeff.

dEAtHS

February 23, 1942 - June 28, 2010 On the approaching 5th Anniversary of your sudden passing our family and friends are remembering you with fond memories and prayers. You’ll always remain in our hearts. We miss your smile and hope that you have found “lakes and sailboats in Heaven’s glow”. Always loved and remembered by wife Katarina, Betty, Trent and Chloe, Kathy and Mark. A Boater’s Prayer I wandered, lonely as a cloud, beside the boats, moored row on row, when all at once, I heard a voice, it murmured soft, it murmered low. There was pathos in that lonely sound, and pleading in each word. I could not help but bend an ear, and this is what I overheard; “Lord”, it said, “don’t ask much; not wealth, or glory, fame or such. All I ask are simple things, that carefree boating always brings. Give me days forever fair; an engine that will run on air. Give me brass that just won’t tarnish, let my hull be free from stains, with no leaks dripping when it rains. And if by chance, I hit the quay, let there be no one there to see. And lastly, Lord, when it’s time to go, let there be boats, and lakes, in Heaven’s glow.

Today, June 14, 2015, my best friend and love of my life has passed away. He leaves behind his long-time partner, and wife of 6 weeks. Rose Schmid, his father Ted Green & stepmom Eleanor, his son Robert & wife Dana and three grandchildren Corbin, Mason & Sebastian, his new Pt. Petre family, Matthew, Lisa (Clay), Shelly (Clinton), grandsons and backhoe buddies, Isaac, Hayden & Calvin, and his newest granddaughter and sweetest treasure, Sylvia Rose. Bob was born in England March 3, 1949 to Patricia (Day) and Ted Green. He came to Canada as a child in 1957 and eventually settled in Prince Edward County. For 16 years, Bob and Rose have operated their landscaping business, Dooryard Gardens, and more recently put their agricultural knowledge to use on their organic Tansy Lane Farm. Bob was also actively involved in the local music scene for 40 years as the “Green Machine” DJ, he kept many County folk up on the dance floor at special events and celebrations. He enjoyed playing the organ and singing – participating in local theatre, most recently playing the role of a sailor in the County Theatre Group production of HMS Pinafore in 2014. In accordance with Bob’s wishes, cremation has taken place. There will be a Celebration of his Life on Saturday, July 4th, at the Cherry Valley Hall, where his family and friends can share many happy memories of this wonderful man. If desired, donations to honour Bob’s memory may be made to Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital foundation, or a charity of your choice.

Volunteers invite MPP, Plenty to see and do for Canada Day in county councillors Monday night CHAD IBBOTSON At 2 p.m. the focus will parade and vendors and food be closed to traffic from the HOSPICE, from page 27 “I appreciate the feedback of our volunteers. They are the ones who are directly involved in care and we rely on them to share their concerns with the board.” Middleton said issues such as ongoing communication with volunteers and reporting to the community are open for discussion. “The community has put its heart and soul into this hospice and we are most willing to hear what people have to say,” said Middleton. “Contrary to rumours, there will be very few changes as to how we operate other than how volunteers are utilized. “When we are further along in this transition, we know there is some work to

do in terms of improving communication with our volunteers and out community who are stakeholders in this vital community service.” Meanwhile, a group of volunteers have organized a public information sharing meeting about Hospice Prince Edward Monday at 7 p.m. at the Prince Edward Community Centre hall. Advertising from the group urges county residents to express deep appreciation for the work of Nancy Parks, Hospice’s former executive director who recently resigned and to address the future of Hospice Prince Edward as an essential component of the community. Invitations were sent to Hospice board members, MPP Todd Smith, and members of council.

Tidy your garden by deadheading, removing weeds, and watching for pests

I’ve been thinking about what needs to get done in our gardens this month and the first thing that came to mind was to just sit back and enjoy it. Your garden is probably at its prettiest this time of year and often we gardeners just toil away and miss the overall enjoyment of our efforts. Yes, the lilacs are gone; the blush of peonies is a memory. Iris has also come and mostly left the scene but my poppies are still in flower (kind of) and the coreopsis and gaillardia is blooming vibrantly with Rose Campion and daisies just coming on. If you must do something in your garden other than just look at it, then I recommend deadheading, tidying up and pulling out those weeds and taking a look around for garden pests. I did mention a couple of articles back that cleavers would be a problem this year. It is a vining weed with leaves that look like helicopter rotors. This vine is like Velcro – it sticks to everything and while they are very easy to pull, it is hard to get the roots out because the stem at the root is so very tiny that it just breaks off at the ground – leaving the plant to push up more vines. I pulled a lot of it out along my back fence today. It is very important to get this plant out before its tiny blooms turn to seed. It is actually important to get all your weeds out before they turn to seed if you want to avoid seeing them again this year or next. So, weeding is a really

ASK A MASTER GARDENER

important chore this time of year. I use a garden bench because I can work longer if I sit down than if I kneel or just bend over. Deadheading is a tidying up chore right now because most of what needs deadheading won’t re-bloom this year anyway. I cut the spent blooms of all my plants right down to the main plant rather than just snip off the blooms at their end. My garden looks a lot nice that way. The next round of flowering will come from perennials and annuals that will actually re-bloom if kept deadheaded. Those plants include zinnias, marigolds, purple coneflower, black-eyed Susan, gaillardia, coreopsis and others. These plants will produce blooms for most of the summer if kept from going to seed. Plants live to produce seed and if left to do that, they will have fulfilled their mission and then

die back and your garden will not have more blooms from them this year. Fertilizing your pots is a good idea now as well as making sure that they have sufficient water as the weather gets progressively warmer and drier. I use half strength soluble fertilizer about every two weeks from now to the end of summer. Remember that potting soil only has enough fertilizer to last for two weeks. So, if you have not fertilized since you initially planted your containers, it is definitely time to do that right now. If you have insect damage in your garden, be on the look-out for the invaders. Remember that there are insects that are beneficial and some who are not beneficial in our garden. I always plant marigolds in my herb garden but this year I have not put them in yet. Guess what? There are tiny holes in my basil leaves. I flipped over a leaf and found the culprit – whiteflies. I’m getting out the insecticidal soap and heading to the nursery for marigolds! By the way, you can cut the blooms off of your chives now. The chive plant will be healthier for it. Earwigs can be easily trapped and removed by placing corrugated cardboard under your plants.
