Standing at the side of one inpatient bed at Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital (PECMH) Tuesday, registered nurse Lynda Walcott could instantly check heart rates and rhythms for seven different patients. Using one of the three new stationary telemetry monitors funded by a successful $237,282.39 public campaign, Wycott demonstrated the ease of use the new technology provides. Instead of searching for off-screen buttons, Wycott was easily able to navigate through different fields of data on the touch-screen monitor and pull up patient information that earlier this year required six different screens to view. “You can turn it on by touching and setting any of the parameters and it will monitor the patient closely,” she explained to a tour group from the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation. Before, she explained, nurses had to go back to the main nurses station in order to get an overview of the patients being monitored by telemetry equipment. Now, there’s an extra monitor in the hall of the

inpatient unit, there are three fastened bed-side monitors, and three mobile units. All pieces of the system are fully integrated together. “If you want to see what a patient down the hall is doing on the telemetry, whichever telemetry is on, the rhythm will come up,” Wycott said. “If you hear an alarm and want to know where it is coming from, you can look at the monitor and all the telemetry without leaving this bedside.”

Patients are also able to be monitored on a mobile unit, which would allow them to access a washroom or travel almost anywhere on the second floor without having to be disconnected and reconnected. Those changes amount to two valuable benefits for the patients of the hospital. The first is improved speed, which can save lives. “You can see while in the room what their heart is doing,” said Wycott. “Now

we can see at the bedside. If the patient tells you something doesn’t feel good, we can see what kind of rhythm he’s in without having to run back to the desk.” The second is a practical advantage and that’s reducing burnout among nursing staff members. “It’s a huge savings on our legs having to walk back to the desk,” she said. Foundation president Leo Finnegan noted that he spent a couple of nights in

the very bed Wycott was demonstrating at not long ago and he could appreciate the value in that improvement. “There were three nurses on and 16 patients,” he recalled. “They were run off their feet and constantly running,” Finnegan said. “If asked, they didn’t have time for even a cup of coffee. This will help tremendously.”

Culinary creators escape Toronto for two-day rally in county Jason Parks

Staff writer

If you turned your nose to the westerly winds this weekend, that delightful smell was coming from the hinterlands of Hillier. And count yourself lucky if you let your gastronomic cravings carry you to Hinterland Winery, site of the first annual Toronto food truck rally in Prince Edward County. A dozen food trucks offering a wide ranging spectrum of delicious 'street meat' gathered on the grounds of Hinterland, Prince Edward County's sparkling wine specialists. Well over 1,000 patrons attended the two-day event, checking the trappings from far-off food trucks like The Dirty South, Frankie Fettuc-

cine, and Blue Donkey Streatery as well as local mobile Slow Taco and Urban Herb. Ontario Food Truck Association's Suresh Doss has been leading the effort to bring gourmet food trucks from Toronto to outlying locals for the past three years through his Food Truck Eats events. “The goal has always been to put these gourmet food trucks out in front of different people in different places so people can have a chance to try something they have might never seen before,” Doss told the Gazette Sunday. After a successful string of events in Western Ontario, Doss set his sights east this year and found a willing host in Hinterland Wine Company.

“I've always wanting to bring this event to Prince Edward County and I've been looking for the right space and I've found it in Hinterland,” he explained. There's no denying the exploding popularity of these mobile gourmet food stations that have evolved from the standard french fry wagon from years gone by. With wild themes, exotic offerings and interesting chefs, the collection of food trucks on hand this weekend were a far cry from the chip trucks of days gone by. Doss believes the booming popularity of street eats was borne out of the U.S. recession in 2004 when young chefs and restauranteurs weren't able to finance eateries.

Province’s highest judicial body prepared to listen to arguments about application of law in approvals process for industrial wind project

Ontario Court of Appeal prepared to hear Field Naturalists’ Ostrander Point case chad ibbotson

Staff writer

The Prince Edward County Field Naturalists (PECFN) have received some positive news in what is likely the group's last chance to prevent a nine-turbine Gilead Power wind project on Crown land at Ostrander Point. Last week it was announced the Ontario Court

of Appeal had granted PECFN's request for leave and will hear the case. The field naturalists argue the turbine project will put further risk on endangered species and will cause irreparable harm to animals and habitats — the endangered Blanding's turtle in particular. In July 2013 the Ontario Environmental Review Tribunal revoked Ministry of

the Environment (MOE) approval to the Ostrander Point development. The tribunal cited “serious and irreversible harm” to the turtles. However, in February Divisional Court overturned the ruling saying the tribunal erred in its ruling. On Friday the Court of Appeal said it would hear PECFN's appeal of that decision. “This is an important step forward in the public’s efforts to protect one of the province’s most ecologically sensitive habitats,” PECFN's Myrna Wood said in a release following the decision. PECFN had also requested a stay on construction at the site, which was

granted in March. That stay will remain in place with the granting of leave. Eric Gillespie, legal counsel for PECFN, said in the release it usually takes a few months for an appeal to be heard. “Everyone is looking forward to moving ahead,” he said. In an interview with the Gazette on Monday, PECFN past president Cheryl Anderson said it was great news. “We're really happy. We won the Environmental Review Tribunal, we won the stay, so this is the third thing we've won,” she said. Anderson said there was no other information pro-

vided as to when the case might be heard by the Court of Appeal. She said PECFN's documentation has to be submitted to the court by the end of July and the MOE and Gilead must submit their documentation by September. “It's going to be months,” said Anderson. She said it was getting a stay on construction of the turbines was critical for the field naturalists. “Gilead was threatening to start construction and

now we know that's not going to happen and it won't happen until the matter is resolved,” she said. As the case drags out the organization's legal fees continue to stack up. Anderson said PECFN will be hosting “Turtle Concert” fundraiser at Picton United Church on Sunday, July 13 from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. The concert will feature a variety of local musicians and cover multiple genres including blues, celtic, folk, jazz, and rock.

Design duo hopes to break through with game County company sees app picked up for distribution by major platforms Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

A pair of Prince Edward County residents are looking to break into the massive mobile games market — and they hope to take some of the seriousness out of gaming in the process. Visit the Idea Moose Entertainment website (www.ideamoose.com) and you'll see an anthropomorphic moose sharing a cup of coffee with a half-lightbulb, half-man hybrid. Founder Dustin Crenna said the visual epitomizes the philosophy of the company — fun, wacky, and entertaining. The company just released their first game — called Udder Flap: When Cows Fly — which can be played on iOS and Android devices and is available for free through Apple's App Store and Google Play respectively. Players take control of a cow with a jetpack to avoid rooftops, clouds, bees, and an onslaught of arrowflinging gnomes in an attempt to take the high score. What started as a “Flappy Bird clone” quickly evolved into something more, said Crenna. He along with friend and artist Chris Harvey came up with the concept that became Udder Flap and finished developing the game within a month. A Guelph native, Crenna studied music industry arts at Fanshawe College and for the last

decade has been working in the video game industry creating music and sound effects. After being laid off from the company he'd been working for, Crenna decided to move his family to Picton and create his own company. “I told myself if I ever did get laid off — because I knew it was inevitable — I would just start a company and see what happens,” he said. In 2013 Crenna created Idea Moose Entertainment, the name an inside joke between Crenna and his wife. “We were at a pub and there was a logo for a brand on the wall and my wife was just describing it and said 'it looks like a moose with an idea,'” he said. Harvey, originally from England, said he has no formal training, but created art as a hobby. The pair met in Picton through their children and connected

through a mutual love of gaming. “While we were trying to corral our kids from running all over the place we were talking about games and Chris had a few concepts for games he was working on even before we met,” said Crenna. “We just decided to try out a few ideas working on concept art together for games that didn't happen, but will probably happen at some point.” Crenna said they were inspired to create Udder Flap after reading a Forbes Magazine article about Flappy Bird — a free mobile game which was massively successful, challenging, and addictive. That game was infamously deleted from the app store by its creator, even though it reportedly brought in $50,000 per day in advertising revenue. Crenna said the Forbes article indicated the app

store became flooded with Flappy Bird “clones” and that “it would be foolish” not to try to create one, as the cost to recreate the game's simple code was minimal and had the potential to generate substantial returns. “It's weird how it all came together it was really quick. The game took about a month,” said Crenna, adding it took about eight hours to put together a working prototype. However, the pair said they quickly decided to do away with the clone concept and Udder Flap became something more. “We were stuck on how we would place the clouds at random intervals above the buildings so it would create that gap that you're supposed to fly through in all the flappy games,” said Crenna. “Then we thought why bother, let's just throw that all away. It's not even a clone anymore, it's its own game.” The name Udder Flap itself pokes at the flappy craze, he said. “It's like a way of saying 'utter crap' but with a cow theme,” said Crenna. While they take some good-natured jabs at the game, they said they can only dream of Flappy Birdlike success. For now, Crenna said the only goal for the game is to get it in front of as many people as possible and get some recognition for the Idea Moose name.

THIS YEAR THE PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY HOSPITAL AUXILIARY IS CELEBRATING ITS 80TH ANNIVERSARY You would have a hard time finding anyone who is more complimentary about the work of the Hospital Auxiliary volunteers than its president Peggy Payne. She thinks the world of the nearly 300 volunteers who each week put their care and enthusiasm on display. And she has been especially thrilled to discover that so many of the people who share her admiration for the volunteers are from the younger generation.

Hearts of Gold always amazed at ‘theI amamount of work done by our volunteers. Patients in the hospital, customers in our Second Time Around shop and the folks who use the coffee cart in the hospital or at medical centre are always pleased when our volunteers are present with their cheerful and friendly natures. I think their secret is that they all have hearts of gold. I have to say that I am truly privileged to be a part of this organization.

Picton's Gail Debney posed this reporter last week after she was sent a letter seemingly from Portugal offering an inheritance of $7.5 million. While the earmarks make the letter look official, almost immediately upon reading it, the letter starts to sound phoney. 'Barrister Roman Perez Lucena' from 'Portugal Law Firm' writes that he found Gail Debney through the Canadian Consulate while searching for a last name similar to his late client Kim Debney, an engineer who deposited a large sum of money into the bank prior to being killed in the 2004 tsunami. The letter goes on to state that Gail Debney could stand as the next-of-kin and that she and the lawyer would split the holdings 50/50. The correspondence then asks her to email or fax her information to process the transaction. “As soon as I opened it, I thought this was a little funny but I know people my age and older that might not be as aware,” Debney said.

What makes this letter more disturbing than most is the fact Kim Debney is Gail Debney's daughter-in-law. “As soon as I saw her name, I realized they had been doing some digging,” Debney said. But apparently not deep enough as the letter refers to Kim Debney as a male and having lived in Portugal for the last 13 years and not Kingston as is the case. The letter came in a standard window envelope with no other markings other than a faint international postage stamp. Inside the envelope, non-

English markings detail the security features which might indicate the letter did indeed come from overseas. In the letter, Gail Debney's name appears as GM Debney, the same as is listed in the phone book. “Somebody has put some thought into this,” she said. While Prince Edward OPP community services officer Anthony Mann couldn't speak directly to this instance, he implored residents to remain vigilant when approached by strangers through mail, phone, email and any other type of communication. “First of all, report any of these instances to the OPP office and second, never divulge your personal information to any unknown persons,” Mann told the Gazette. He also asked the public to ask questions if the internal alarm bells start going off. “In this case it's a letter but if you are approached through the phone or social media, get the info to verify who your are being contacted by and always remember the adage It it's too good to be true, it probably is,” he added. Gail Debney does not own a computer and therefore, she does not have a social media profile. But that doesn't mean a relative or friend doesn't and a public profile could provide a conduit into your life. “It's easier to find more out about people because of a resource like social media so people need to be cautious what they are putting out there for the world to see,” Mann said. As for Debney, she hopes none of her friends or neighbours get an unwanted letter like the one she received. And if she's approached again, it's highly unlikely a scammer would succeed in a second attempt.“I guess I'm to hard crusted. I don't fall for anything,” she said.

It promised to attract a large number of tourists. n Organizers of Wellington’s Canada Day celebrations were noting that for 50 cents, the bearer of a ticket could get into all activities including a ball game advertised as being worth more than the price of admission itself, races, and concerts, including a show by the famous Argyll Light Infantry Silver Band. n The annual report of the Ontario Hydro Electic Power Commission noted that most towns on the Trenton system reported surpluses in 1923. Picton reported a net surplus of $12,650. 46, while Wellington reported a net surplus of $2,284.27. Bloomfield also reported being $1,054.52 to the good in the operation of its power system in 1923.

but they must do well here as there are several such mounds. They have solved the wet conditions by building upwards, rather than chancing questionable conditions below the surface for their living chambers. The lake at the trail‘s end is deceiving as its kidney shape quickly swings out of sight, revealing only part of its true 150-acre size. It is shallow and filled with muck, and was incredibly warm, even in early May when I made my first of several visits there this year. I chatted with the property’s namesake some years ago, and it was through his generosity that acquisition of the property was made possible. A 400metre boardwalk has taken shape, and numerous other enhancements. Yet, the property has not lost its natural appeal. Except for the boardwalk and some trail maintenance, the property remains undisturbed, as Dieter (Bill) Menzel says it should be. "The property is for the plants and animals that live here, but the trail is for the people," he said at that time. The story behind the acquisition is a touching one. His late wife, Oivi, passed away at an early age, only a decade or so into their marriage. She was an avid naturalist, who during that short time, peaked her husband’s interest in her pastime as she led him to parks and wilderness, helping him to get away from his work with Shell Canada. After her untimely death, he wanted to do something special

in her memory, and the memorial plaque standing alone a short distance in beyond the noise of any passing cars, symbolizes the quietude she came to appreciate in similar natural areas she always enjoyed visiting. Seeing it standing there surrounded by wildflowers, you can’t help but be moved by the love she had for nature, and the generous lasting memorial that her husband has made possible for those who share her love of quiet, secluded spaces. You will not find this natural area advertised much, for its remoteness and its mystery are what make it special. It is a place to seek solitude, as she no doubt enjoyed doing in the special places she visited when she was alive. I conduct guided hikes here often, but I also go here when I want to be alone in my thoughts, and sit on the shore of the lake where there are no cottages, no cell phones, no cars, no voices - only those of a passing loon or an osprey. I want to enjoy the sight of a rose pogonia, or marvel at a hairstreak butterfly feeding on a yarrow plant, or listen to the flute-like notes of a wood thrush as it filters through the forest as we did last week. We need special places like this and we need more people like Dieter Menzel to make it happen.

70 years ago — 1944 A rare ecosystem only minutes away from here n The Kinsmen Club of Picton was reportedly working on a project to bring a swimming pool to the town. A committee was formed to look into the construction of the facility and potential costs. It was thought any campaign would produce a year-round swimming venue. n There wasn’t an empty seat in the house to be found at the Salmon Point fire halls as the community paid tribute to Spr. H, Cowan, a member of the Canadian Engineers who was killed on the beach in Normandy, France. There was nearly a tribute for each age of the 26year-old’s life found along either side of his grave during the event. n County council was seeking a greater amount of the profit from the annual fall fair. By resolution, it asked for 10 per cent of gate receipts up to $1,500 and 25 per cent of gate receipts if the total earned by the fair board exceeded $1,500.

60 years ago — 1954 nAthol’s reeve, H.S. Colliver, offered his resignation after his council criticized him for not pushing harder at County council for redistribution of equalized assessment they felt was unfair to the township. Ultimately, council did not accept his resignation, but Colliver retired to a chair at the back of town hall to watch the debate continue. Ultimately, a bylaw to appeal tax levels was drafted, but did not pass third reading as there was a tie vote with Colliver not voting. n Picton was proposing a three-mill increase in its own tax rate, mostly due to paying debentures for a new school.

20 years ago — 1994

n The Prince Edward County Board of Education gave its approval for a partnership between Quinte Cablevision and PECI that would see the local school become one of the only such institutions in Canada to have its own broadcast cable channel. Journalism and media studies students would be responsible for creating content using real production skills in order to earn academic credits. n Ontario attorney general Marion Boyd opened the $1.1-million King Street courthouse in a former Canadian Tire store.

CANADA’S OLDEST COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER

We had just passed by a cluster of royal ferns. Their widely spaced oblong leaflets caused us to think we were not looking at a fern, but rather, a locust. It grows in several isolated spots along this trail, where we had also admired several patches of wild calla. With them were a few remaining pitcher-plants, their globular red flowers bent and not as radiant as they were last week. One had to really peer into the wetland to even see the pitcher-like leaves, still poised to entrap any unwary insect. We continued on and came upon an open wet area, much like one would see in the boreal areas of the province, scraggly and stunted tamaracks dominating the scene with a few tired fluffs of cottongrass remaining here and there. We were in a fen. It is not a term we hear frequently in this area, for this type of wetland is rare so far south. Think of it as a bog, also rare here, but unlike the huge peatmoss basins with no inflow or outflow such as we would find in Algonquin Park, fens do allow for some entry of water and imperceptible outflow. It is not as acidic as a bog so the make-up of plants is different. The term is actually derived from old English fenne, and the story is that it has proto German origins. This is the Menzel Centennial Provincial Nature Reserve, north of Deseronto, and one of its chief glories, is that it is within relatively easy driving distance.

acres - and that the fen itself is but one of many habitats. An alvar at its beginning offers little hint as to what lies beyond, but curiosity soon leads our exploration into a treed swamp before breaking out into a dry moraine like setting where in a month we will find bright orange butterfly weeds. Certainly not a weed in anyone’s eye, although it is a milkweed, and as the name suggests, is often recommended for backyard settings to attract a variety of butterflies. Crossing the fen, it is difficult to imagine with the cottongrass, orchids, and scrub tamarack, that we are not in some far northern setting instead of just a half hour’s drive north of the Bay of Quinte. The trail takes us through a deciduous woods comprising white birch, and amazing anthill domes. To find ants in such a moist setting is unusual,

Police break up boat theft at Picton Marina, one suspect escapes scene

In the wee hours last Thursday morning, the OPP managed to thwart the efforts of two men to steal a boat from the Picton Marina. One suspect was found hiding under a pier, while the other fled the scene. The OPP activated its emergency response team and a K-9 unit, however they were unable to locate the second man. The first man, a 36-year-old Picton resident, was charged with theft and trespass by night, both contrary to the

Criminal Code of Canada. The accused was later released from police custody on a promise to appear in Picton court July 23. Police are still searching for the second suspect. Anyone with information regarding his identity is asked to contact the OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

OPERATION FREEZE

Local OPP officers are reminding youth that doing the right thing can be cool — literally.

This summer, the OPP has again teamed up with Mac’s Convenience Stores to offer a positive reinforcement campaign for good behaviour. If an OPP officer sees a young person wearing a bicycle helmet, doing a good deed like picking up trash, skateboarding in designated areas, observing crosswalks, or helping an elderly neighbour, that officer can hand out tickets for free Froster beverages. Police can also use the coupons as a way to establish a

rapport with the young people on the route they patrol and to start dialogue. “When police officers work with local businesses to recognize youth, positive things can happen,” said OPP deputy commissioner Brad Blair in a news release. “Partnerships like the ones made during Operation Freeze can leave a lasting impression on our youth and make our communities better places to live. -Staff

C.M.L. Snider School in Wellington painted a 25-panel barn quilt installation to be added to their school as part of the new Prince Edward County Barn Quilt Trail. With the help of the Wellington-on-the-lake woodworkers who helped put together the brightly coloured squares into one larger quilt, the school’s custodian fastened the piece into the brick for visitors to see. Pat Dubyk, one of the founders of the trail, said that the past few weeks have been busy with various groups painting their own quilt installations to go on barns, properties or buildings, primarily in the areas between Bloomfield and Wellington. She indicated she expected as many as 10 installations could go up this week. The students at C.M.L. Snider were joined by colleagues at Pinecrest Memorial Public School in creating art work for their schools. The Pinecrest installation has not yet occurred. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

North Korea should worry about its own stance on expression

WHO ultimately is responsible for the actions of the entertainment industry in Hollywood when it produces blockbuster films that ultimately have the potential to reach audiences around the world? That was the question raised this week when a North Korean foreign ministry spokesperson said that it would consider the release of an upcoming movie as an “act of war” put forward by the United States of America that it would be grounds for future retaliation by the totalitarian country. The movie is slated to feature two American journalists who find a way to interview North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and ultimately find themselves recruited by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to use their access and cover to assassinate the leader. One can see North Korea’s point that it is beyond the pale to make a film about a fictional attempt on a living leader such as Kim Jong-un. If a similar film was created somewhere else in the world showing Barack Obama specifically being killed, Americans would likely grit their teeth and they might even question the motives of whomever shot it. Perhaps, instead of using the current leader, the producers of the upcoming film could have created a character that would have shared some of the same characteristics as the current leader without actually portraying him. Hollywood, doubtless, has told several stories about American presidents in danger using the same tactics with little buzz created. That detail aside, however, it isn’t as if the United States government has given the script writers any inside information, nor would it advocate for a bunch of amateur film goers to muddle in its foreign affairs when the CIA’s own operatives can surely manage. North Korea simply appears as a believable foe — and with overreactions like this one, one can see why — and an independent company wanted to tell a story that would attract an audience. A disturbing factor in this turn of events that North Korea believes that government should the free expression of its citizens. It believes governments in the United States and Canada should have their fingers in any form of communication going on within their borders and they should take action to eliminate those voices that dissent. This, after all, is the same country that reportedly detained an American traveler earlier this month for leaving his Bible behind after staying at hotel in North Korea. Some have gone to war for lesser injustices in the past. The Hollywood movie obviously is not an act of war, but it says something about a country that would view it as such. Perhaps the North Koreans’ greatest fear is that their own citizens will realize the freedoms the citizens of the west have and, internally, they will take down a regime that has offered them little more than hardship while it has tried to strong arm the west with its own ideologies. Indeed, that would be a dastardly scenario. As for the threats of war, it’s disheartening to think that one day, North Korea’s world view might be just out of whack enough that they’ll actually pull the trigger and do something regrettable. Sadly, the offending film might seem tame by comparison.

Author Terry Fallis visits, butterfly guide to launch at library

Two anticipated author events occur the first week of July at the Picton branch of the County of Prince Edward Public Library & Archives. On Thursday, July 3 at 7 p.m., the Picton branch is pleased to present awardwinning author Terry Fallis, author of The Best Laid Plans, and The High Road, satirical novels of Canadian politics. His debut novel, The Best Laid Plans was originally selfpublished in 2007 and won the 2008 Stephen Leacock Medal for Humour. The book was then picked up by McClelland & Stewart and released again in September 2008. Fallis won the gold medal in the Independent Publisher Book Awards in the Regional Fiction – Canada East category and, in 2010, the Waterloo Region chose The Best Laid Plans as its One Book, One Community selection. It was also chosen as the winner of CBC radio’s Canada Reads competition and deemed the “essential Canadian novel of the decade” in February 2011. Later in the year, CBC Television announced that The Best Laid Plans would become a six-part TV miniseries, and it aired in early 2014. The novel is also in development as a stage musical by Touchstone Theatre in Vancouver. McClelland & Stewart published the sequel to The Best Laid Plans, called The High Road, in September 2010. It was a finalist for the 2011 Stephen Leacock Medal for Humour and the publisher has since taken on the author’s third novel, Up and Down, released in September 2012. It debuted on the Globe and Mail bestsellers list, was a finalist for the 2013 Leacock Medal, and won the 2013 Ontario Library Association Evergreen Award. Fallis’s latest novel is No Relation. In June 2013, the Canadian Booksellers Association presented Fallis with the Libris Award for Author of the Year. All of the Fallis’s books

are available for loan from the library, but copies will also be available for purchase at the reading on July 3, following the Q & A. Two days later, on Saturday, July 5 at 1 p.m., the Prince Edward County Field Naturalists, in partnership with the library, is pleased to host the launch of A Field Guide to the Butterflies of Prince Edward County. Distinguished plant taxonomist and biologist Dr. Paul Catling created the book for the benefit of the Prince Edward County Field Naturalists. “We are honoured to have this beautiful and useful guide to add to the County’s knowledge of our natural heritage,” says Myrna Wood of the Prince Edward County Field Naturalists. Come hear what inspired Dr. Catling to take on this project, and bring your questions about butterflies and related plants. An excellent gift as well as a staple for all County bookshelves, the book will be for sale at the launch. For a full line up of all activities this summer, visit the library’s online calendar at www.peclibrary.org or call 613-476-5962 Please note that all branches of the public library will be closed on Monday, June 30 and Tuesday, July 1 for Canada Day.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Post-secondary schools doing students disservice

Today, my son faced paying his tuition fees for his Algonquin College courses starting in Sept or losing his place in the program. He doesn't have the money even though the money will be there eventually through RESP and OSAP. The college does "kindly" offer him the choice to defer his payment to September but at an extra expense of $20, more money he doesn't have. Doesn't anyone else see the problem with this? First off, how do education facilities have the right to ask for tuition in full 60plus days before the start of a semester? That would be like a car dealership asking for full payment of a vehicle two months in advance of the buyer taking possession. I could understand a down payment to secure the position but not the full amount. The college knows the money is coming, whether

through OSAP or other means — it is part of the condition on deferring the payment. And already, they have kindly advised him that the next semester's tuition starting in January is due Nov 15. But again, for $20 he can defer that payment as well. This is the third different educational institution that I have run across this practice so I assume it is common throughout most facilities. When I first ran across it, I contacted the minister of education, the opposition critics and our local MPPs. Only one returned my email with more than an acknowledgement (most didn't even do that). He expressed that he remembered this practice already being in place when he went to university and he did not like it then — Then , do something about it! After all, you are the government.

You are there to make sure our citizens are treated fairly including our students. There are things the government could do beginning with stopping this practice outright. First off, make tuition due the day classes are to start or maybe two weeks before so that any one who elects not to attend can still be replaced by others. Second, OSAP is a government program. Make the funds available for tuition payments when it is required, not in September as it is now. The funds could go directly to the facility and not to the student. If the student opts out, the funds would be returned to OSAP. And third, make institutions who hold RESP pay the funds to the students in a more timely manner. Last year, my daughter received her payments well into her school year, too late

for the tuition due before school started. But instead of taking action, our MPP sit on their hands doing nothing except collecting their fat paychecks. Meanwhile our students who try to scrape together enough money to get a higher education and enhance their job opportunities, are faced with additional charges from greedy institutions. And the only reaction we get from one MPP is that "we don't like it." Of course, that is more than I got from my own local MPP Todd Smith, who could not even have his staff reply with a simple acknowledgement of my concern. Thanks Todd; don't lose sleep over this. I paid my son's tuition on my overextended credit line. Bruno Paulhus Ameliasburgh

Allowing intolerance can open doors to terrible acts

The so-called " Christian Brotherhood" or PEC Ministerial Association stand on "religious freedom" cannot pass without comment. In my experience, their position taken is normal with those on the "right" or sometime described as Fundamentalist. Their intolerance of anything or anyone who shifts from their position must be eliminated has been found in

the deep south of the United States as well now in the county. Elimination is a word that best describes the action of Nazi Germany when millions of Jewish people were subjected to unthinkable horrors. The acts of the Nazis were without question criminal but we must take account of the position and actions of the western world.

Almost without exception, from Canada, United States , Great Britain and Europe itself , discrimination against the Jewish people was overt and expressed in so many ways. Even as late as the 1950s Jewish people in Toronto were not permitted to own property in Hogs Hollow or join several elite clubs . The actions of Hitler merely carried the repression

to a new level. In my view, Al Reimers and his gang's point is to allow institutions to teach and spread intolerance . Suppression of such direction must be the order of the day. If we allow this is take place , someone like Hitler will take it to a new level. Ken Koyama Picton

Turtle crossing signs alert drivers to vulnerable creatures

Whoever was responsible for the new turtle crossing signs on West Lake Road at Kleinsteuber Parks Road and Mallory Road, thank you. For the few weeks each spring when turtles of all

sizes are on the move laying their eggs, motorists need to be especially vigilant. It’s heart-breaking to come across a life smashed to pieces through carelessness or, worse still, deliberately.

It’s difficult to believe these slow-moving creatures are invisible to the average driver. Slowdown and look out for turtles in the areas they cross — such as the causeway to Sheba’s Island and West Lake Road.

From there to the Mallory Road turnoff, that’s the least motorists can do. Hopefully, the new signs will alert locals and visitors both. Carolyn Allen West Lake

Illustrators team up on Quinte map Keelan-Bishop, Snyder release whimsical look at regional attractions AdAm BrAmBurger

Staff writer

A pair of county illustrators put their talents together to help the Bay of Quinte Tourist Council sell the region to new residents. Tim Snyder and Marc Keelan-Bishop put together the new Living in Quinte map, which will be revealed to the public as a pull-out in the summer edition of County and Quinte Living Magazine. Snyder explained he had been working with the council for several years in creating maps that would help people find tourist attractions in the area. He realized, however, the most recent concept was focused more on selling the Quinte area lifestyle and inviting families to move to the area. He had previously spent time talking with KeelanBishop about their desire to produce a children’s map of the county and thought the regional collaboration might lend room for their styles to blend well. Snyder said sometimes he gets caught up in the detail and precision side of his artwork, whereas KeelanBishop specializes in children’s art and cartoon-style illustration. His contrasting style brought elements of freedom and fun to the project. The two men started their collaboration from scratch with Snyder working to fit the triangular Quinte region on one document, allowing the map to showcase communities ranging from the Campbellford area in the west to Napanee in the east. While he said someone theoretically could use the map as a driving aid, it was distorted to show some of the features available in different communities. “We exaggerated selected areas and features, just like

you would if you were doing a caricature of a person,” he said. For example, Picton would normally be a small dot in Prince Edward County, but on the map, it took up a lot of space. Within its boundaries are huge graphics featuring some of the activities people can take part in at that spot — a film reel, giant vegetables for produce stands, a golfer, and an ice cream cone, for example. Some landmarks like the Picton United Church clocktower or the Fields at West Lake barn are also depicted. “It’s selling the lifestyle. It’s all the things you want to see in the region,” Keelan-Bishop added. “It’s aspirational, it makes people want to live here.” The illustrators found their work styles fit well and they said they had few creative differences during the process. “It was never an issue, we jelled together well from the beginning,” said Snyder. Added Keelan-Bishop: “We both use Illustrator a lot and we both do a lot of work in the middle of the night. We’re also professional enough to look at each other’s styles and see what we can do to complement each other.” The creative process included a shared online hard drive that Keelan-Bishop

could access to work, then file his art for Snyder to apply to the map itself. One area Keelan-Bishop said he had to adjust was in his use of colour. As a children’s artist, he noted he often uses some vibrant tones. “I was a bit pallet-challenged. I’m used to doing bright, bright colours,” he said. “It’s not quite muted, but I’d say desaturated. If it was as fluorescent as some of my usual stuff, it’d make your eyes bleed.” Time wise,, KeelanBishop said his contributions alone likely took about eight regular working days. The men say the cartoon aerial map style has great potential as it can be a practical tool for an adult mind, while it also captures the vivid imagination of children. The maps are also well suited to be blown up in larger formats. With both illustrators bringing their extensive experience to the table and now a successful joint effort behind them, Synder and Keelan-Bishop say they’d like to promote their skills to regions and resorts in hopes of getting more work they can complete together. They’ve already come up with a web site acartoonmap.com to sell their creative abilities. The Living in Quinte map is available online at bayofquinte.ca

After a discussion about the potential liability issues it could create, council voted against waiving a stipulation to have a police presence at road closures for this year's Canada Day celebrations. Councillor Kevin Gale brought forward the motion to have council waive the police presence stipulation for the detour route at the intersection of Paul Street and Main Street in Picton and for 2014 Canada Day celebrations in the county and allow volunteers or service groups to supervise the detour routes. The motion also asked for a staff report to come forward a report on the potential liability issues of using volunteers or service groups at future community events that require road closures. Gale said the motion evolved from discussion with the Picton BIA who said the cost of the police presence represented about 50 per cent of the overall budget for the Canada Day celebration. While the OPP mitigated that somewhat by reducing the cost — down to about $550 from about $781 — Gale said the cost can take away from the events. “I have concern of the burden we're putting on community groups who are putting these events forward on their own time and, quite often, their own money,” he said. Councillor Terry Shortt also voted in favour of the motion. “I see a lot of merit to this change in policy. Adding extra cost of police presence to an event — especially one that's put on by volunteers — puts an undue cost,” he said. “…We're simply blocking off a street, I'm sure any of our volunteers could handle this.”

While initially several councillors seemed receptive to the idea, the tone changed after chief administrative officer Merlin Dewing and Mayor Peter Mertens brought up the subject of liability. Dewing said the police present at the road closure would be off duty. They would not be paid by the OPP, but by the Picton BIA. He said last year the BIA benefitted from having an off-duty officer provide his time free of charge, but wasn't available for this year which created the extra cost. He said have having police involvement is to “circumvent liability exposure.” “That's why on certain closures we ask for police presence because of the nature of the closure, instead of having volunteers and letting some traffic through and other traffic not through and getting into a fight in the street and not being trained in traffic control,” Dewing said. “We don't even allow our staff to get on the streets in traffic control situations without the proper training.” He cautioned council not to rush into any changes. Mertens said he too had concerns with the liability issues. He said insurance costs for municipalities in Ontario have risen by $35 million this year. He said if a municipality is found even one per cent at fault in an incident, they can be on the hook for up to 100 per cent of any damages awarded. “This is a topic that, at the (Eastern Ontario Wardens' Caucus), we've had a lot of discussion on this and we've lobbied the province for a long time to get this changed,” he said. “Until we can get a better sense of what the liabilities and impacts are on us, we have to be very cautious.” The motion failed in a recorded vote of 9–7.

More than 100 people took a step back in time Saturday at Rose House Museum to relive the days when making your own fabric was a regular chore. The first annual Rose House Museum Fibre-fest featured spinning, weaving, tours of one of the first Loyalist homes in Prince Edward County and a petting zoo. County Museums Curator Diane Denyes-Wenn said the event served to showcase the fibre aspect of life at Rose House with the County Spinners undertaking the task of demonstrating the art of turning raw wool into weavable strands. “That would have been one of the many activities that would have taken

place at Rose House during the time of the Loyalists — dying, spinning, quilting and weaving,” she said. The next major event for the Museums of Prince Edward County is the annual fish fry at Mariner's Park Museum in South Bay. Denyes said the event will be by a reunion of Camp Louise, an 'Old Boys'

camp that was operated by local group in the early part of the last century. “I just happened to stumble upon Camp Louise while researching something else,” Denyes said. A dinning lodge with a kitchen on the shores of Green Point, the day camp was owned by four gentlemen and served as a base

County allows Deseronto Transit to expand operations on existing bus routes Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

Deseronto Transit has been granted permission to expand its operations within Prince Edward County, bringing some much needed alternative transportation to residents. While some concern was shared at Tuesday's council meeting, a strong majority of council supported the move. The expansion means Deseronto Transit will be able to pick up riders and drop them off within the county. Previously the serv-

ice could only pick riders up in the county, drop them off at a location outside of the county, and then bring them back again. The service operates on a fixed route and is open to anyone along the pre-determined route. The bus route will not change following Tuesday's decision, but will offer extra pickups and drop-offs at its current stops — the Crystal Palace, Macaulay Village, Picton Metro, and the Bloomfield Post Office. The motion also called for staff to bring forward a

The motion passed in a recorded vote of 14–2 with councillors Kevin Gale and Nick Nowitski voting in opposition. Gale said after having some discussion with the municipality's bylaw enforcement officials and with cab company owners, he felt approving the transit expansion would be in contravention of the municipality's taxi bylaw.

purpose of providing transportation to the public or for delivery of goods to the public, for financial gain, reward or compensation unless a license has been issued for the vehicle pursuant to the provisions of this bylaw.” “We're offending our own bylaw,” said Gale. He said the bylaw is in need of a review. Wayne Cronk, owner of Cronkie's Cab Company in Picton, expressed concern with the move and requested changes to the municipality's taxi regulations. “I'm not against the transit system by no means, unless they're doing taxi business. I have 22 employees that are all taxpayers in this county and they'd like to keep their jobs,” said Cronk. “We're just a little concerned we're going to lose out. We've lost probably 20 per cent of business already just from the work they're doing now.” Mayor Peter Mertens said the municipality is within its rights to allow the transit service to move forward as outlined in the Municipal Act 69 (2) subsection (b). Chief administrative officer Merlin Dewing said he doesn't believe the move would be in contravention of the bylaw. “In past experience trying to get some bus service into municipalities, it simply can't be in contravention because they are intended for two different reasons,” he said. “The bus service is not a taxi service and the bylaws are there for the taxis, not to regulate buses.” Councillor Alec Lunn supported the expansion. “There used to be two buses in the county, one of them went to Kingston on Hwy 33, the other was from Belleville to Picton several times a day,” he said. “I used them both a lot.” He said he understands the concern of the cab companies, but said he believes the move can work in favour of both the cab companies and the transit service. “I can easily see why the cab companies are concerned. They've been picking up a lot of extra business since we lost these buses and they're going to lose some business, so that's tough to take,” he said. Councillor Terry Shortt said there's a need for the service expansion. “I understand the situation the cab companies are in but, at the same time, we are a retirement community,” he said. “More and more or our residents are on a fixed income. The difference between taking a cab and a bus is you can take the cab when you need it and you can take the bus when it comes … there's a need for both.” A release from the municipality issued following Tuesday's decision says the expansion will add to the quality of life in the county. “The benefits of expanding are not limited to residents alone, and will also benefit a number of government agencies and organizations who work with residents to secure jobs, attend appointments, participate in support groups, and enrol in various school programs,” the release says.

Seniors’ Secretariat hosts quiz on aging

The end of June brings to a close the 30th year of Seniors Month in Ontario. Believe it or not, I’ve been working at Community Care for all of those years (and more) having taken a position here when very, very young. It’s the Ontario Seniors Secretariat that promotes June as Seniors’ Month and I was poking around their website. You can do so too at www.seniors.gov.on.ca. According to the web site, the Ontario Seniors' Secretariat develops a wide variety of programs and services to meet the needs of seniors and help them live safe, active and healthy lives. It also builds partnerships with seniors’ organizations across Ontario, and guides the development of policies and programs across government, on behalf of seniors.” You can go to the web site to learn about: age friendly communities; diversity in action for seniors living in residential settings; Ontario’s strategy to combat elder abuse; income security and other benefit programs for seniors offered by federal and provincial governments; a guide to advance care planning; how to get a copy of the comprehensive guide to programs and services for seniors in Ontario (or you can look at it online); and information on the Retirement Home Regulatory Authority which maintains a hotline for reporting harm or risk of harm to a resident living in a retirement home. The Secretariat also has information on their web site about services that inform and protect seniors; honour seniors; programs for veterans; and a listing of the various partnerships with organizations across Ontario that partner with the Ontario Seniors’ Secretariat. Another interesting part of the web site was a quiz on aging. The introduction states that “this quiz is designed to give you information to help you become

aware of the needs of an aging population.” I thought I’d take the quiz just for fun. There are 30 questions and it took me less than 10 minutes to finish it. Read the rest of this column to find out my score! The quiz is worth doing. I invite you to go to the Seniors’ Secretariat and try it for yourself. Better yet, have your kids and grandkids do the quiz. It reveals the myths of aging that are prevalent in our society. As an example – question No. 1 is “intellectual functioning decreases as we age” and the answer is false of course. It’s simply now true and once you complete the quiz you get all the answers and a link to more information on any of the questions. Here’s another good question that I’ll bet many people under 40 would answer incorrectly. “Most older people do not experience a loss of interest in, or capacity for sexual relations”. The answer of course is “true.” The answer sheet states that “research suggests that the normal aging process does not directly impact sexuality”. Out of the 30 questions I got two of them wrong. Question 20 is “participation in volunteer activities tends to increase as people age”. I answered “true” because

that’s my experience here at Community Care. The answer is “false”, though. Apparently Statistics Canada reports that the proportion of people who volunteer their time tends to decline with age. So, I didn’t feel too badly about getting this question wrong. The very next question was “older adults are less likely to be victims of crime than younger people” and the answer was “true” but I answered “false.” Apparently Statistics Canada found that seniors were three times less likely than non-seniors to experience victimization. So, I got 28 out of 30 correct. The one that stood out for me was “in general, most older people are alike”!!! What do you think the answer is? I got it right. After all, seniors are just 40 year olds that got older, eh. Let me know your score and your thoughts at info@communitycareforseniors.org

The spined soldier bug and its destructive twin, the brown marmorated stink bug

In a recent conversation with a fellow gardener, we learned that there was a distinct possibility that he had come across the dreaded brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB). This bug was introduced to North America in Allentown Pennsylvania in 1998 as a hitchhiker on packing crates. It is native to Korea, Japan and China where it has natural predators. But, since this bug has

no natural predators in North America it has spread very rapidly and caused significant damage to fruit and vegetable crops such as corn, peppers, apples, peaches, green beans, cherries, raspberries and pears. It is a true bug that uses its proboscis to pierce the host plant to feed primarily in May and June. BMSB damage presents itself as dimpled or dead areas on the outer

surface of fruits, leaf stippling and seed loss. This bug bears a striking resemblance to a beneficial bug, the spined soldier bug who feeds on more than 90 other insects that are not beneficial to your garden such as the Colorado potato beetle, larvae of the Mexican bean beetle, cabbage loopers, fall army worms and flea beetles. I was thinking about the sad possibility that the spined soldier bug could be easily mistaken for the BMSB and entire populations of the good guy could be wiped out so here’s a brief description of the differences should you see what you think might be the bad guy, the BMSB. The spined soldier bug has pointy shoulders to the BMSB’s more rounded ones but the most distinctive difference is the appearance of light colored diamond shapes along the shield of the BMSB and two light rings on the antennae of the BMSB. The web site, www.stopbmsb.org has a great deal of information and comparisons of the BMSB to other stink bugs. Because this bug is so damaging to crops, the government of Ontario is closely tracking its whereabouts. If you find one, the government of Ontario would like for you to trap it,

photograph it and report it to 1-877-424-1300. It is more likely that you would find a BMSB in your home than in your garden as they like to come inside when the weather gets cooler in the evenings. An infestation of the BMSB in your home is not desirable. Now is the time to keep an eye out for not only the BMSB but also other garden pests. Aphids, for instance, can be dealt with by simply using a strong spray from the hose repeatedly on infestations or by applying insecticidal soap. Red lily beetles and Japan-

Six county beverages make finals in MacLean’s Great Canadian Wine Match ing out! The Beach Boys tribute band will be at Waupoos Estates Winery on Saturday and there will be a classic car show at Casa Dea Estates on Sunday afternoon. One other event I would stop by and do a bit of sippin' is the Red, White and Gamay event at Three Dog Winery as they will have lots of food, wine and live music! As usual you can find more info at my website! I just have to add it was a real treat for me to talked to quite a few people at TerraCello on Saturday and get feedback on these articles.

sippin’ in the county JOE HACHE

This past weekend we witnessed a special day ... the first day of summer after an especially brutal winter. It was also a special day for another reason for me ... I got to spend the day with a niece I had not seen in almost 20 years! The previous week I got an e-mail from Laura Haché saying she would be visiting Sandbanks and she wondered if I would like to get together for a glass of wine as she really enjoys it. Well, I was planning on visiting a couple wineries and then dropping by TerraCello to help celebrate the first day of summer at their Sicilian Solstice event so I mentioned that to her and she jumped at the chance! I picked her up at Sandbanks and we spent the afternoon at TerraCello where we really enjoyed the entertainment and getting to know each other. She was blown away when pizza chef and winemaker Tony Auciello brought her his homemade oven pizza that he paired with his newly released Boca nera wine. She said the pizza was the best she's ever tried and it went awesome with the Boca Nera! Dropping her off at her friend's campsite (16 of them) at Sandbanks later in

As we discussed I am not a wine connoisseur but a lover of wine in general, and county wine in particular. I leave the official tasting and comments about wine to the professionals ... I like to talk about the wineries themselves and the people behind those wines ... to me, that's the real story. We live in an amazing part of the world, get out and enjoy it.

-Joe Hache maintains an independent guide to local wineries at www.princeedwardcountywineries.com. Join him in the Gazette for a tour of county wineries.

the day she was already making plans to come back to the county for a wine tour with lots of friends! Speaking of Auciello’s Boca Nera, it was one of six county finalists in Natalie Macleans newest Great Canadian Wine Match competition. This competition was a barbecue match with six categories: chicken, pork, beef, vegetables, seafood and dessert. The competition was open for anyone across Canada to match their favourite wine in any of the categories. There were six wine regions across Canada and over 350 wines were put forward by wine lovers, including dozens of county wines. Voting across Canada was held online and the 36 finalists (one wine in each category from each wine region across Canada) were

announced last Friday. TerraCello's Boca Nera was nominated by myself in the Beef category (I love burgers and this wine with a barbecued burger is amazing ... and goes pretty good with pizza as well as my niece would tell you!). The other five finalists from the county were: Norman Hardie Unfiltered Chardonnay 2012 in the chicken category; Black Prince Winery Merlot 2011 in the pork category; Rosehall Run SZ White 2011 in the vegetable category; Harwood Estates Winery Admiral’s Blend 2011 in the seafood category; and County Cider Company Ice Cider in the dessert category. Congratulations go out to all the nominees from the county with special kudos to the finalists! Winners in each category will be announced

Quinte Flywheels continue to share love for machines borrowed from our agricultural past Jason Parks

Staff writer

The hums, whines and chugs of the fruits of the industrial revolution as it pertains to agriculture were part of the background noise at the 36th Annual Quinte Flywheels Antique and Historical Show at the Ameliasburgh fairgrounds. Vintage tractors of every conceivable class, age and colour were shined up and on display along with some rarely seen implements. Over 200 people attended the event which offered a glimpse of into agriculture's yesteryear.

Quinte Flywheels president Doug Bradshaw was pleased with year's event which, instead of featuring a certain type of tractor (Last year it was AllisChalmers in the centre of the fairgrounds), the implements pulled behind the diesel or gas powered machines were on display. “We've got potato harvesters, potato planters, plows- a lot of interesting things that people don't often see,” Bradshaw said. Counted among the exhibitors was Keene's Jeffery Garbutt who had a pair of Massey Harris engines shined up and chugging

away Sunday afternoon. “The three-horsepower engine was good for pumping water, rolling oats or churning butter while the 12-horsepower engine could cut cord wood,” he explained. Along with the Quinte Flywheels show, Garbutt brings his vintage engines made in the late 1910s to about half a dozen shows in Ontario. “I like to show them off and they usually invoke a memory or two,” he said. “Plus it's nice to catch up with the other exhibitors.”

Curling club welcomes more than 600 visitors to its 50th antique show event. Curling club member and organizer Janet Bryant while attendance was down slightly versus other years, attendees and the 21 dealers were gracious about what is one of Canada's oldest continuing antique shows. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reception we held Friday evening was very well attended by both members and the dealers came and joined in and it was a lovely time,â&#x20AC;? she said. The event is a major fundraiser for the club which boasts about 150 members. Among the bevy of dealers offering items aged and preserved were Ed and Marie Hrelec of Colborne. The couple got into dealing jars, bottles, glasses and

Social aspect brings dealers back for major fundraiser Jason Parks

Staff writer

They were drawing to the house this weekend at the Prince Edward Curling Club. And while the red, white and blue rings were nowhere to be seen, the action was still steady. The local curling conglomerate organized and hosted it's 50th annual Antique Show and sale this past weekend with over 600 customers and onlookers pouring through the club's doors during the three day

containers due to the fact Marie started collecting sealers (canning jars) of different shapes and sizes some years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And it quickly becomes a disease,â&#x20AC;? Marie laughed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And now we have to get rid of them,â&#x20AC;? Ed countered. The couple attend about a half-dozen shows between Toronto and Ottawa in a year and said the camaraderie with fellow dealers and regular show attendees is part of the reason for making a regular stop in Picton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's a social thing,â&#x20AC;? Marie explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People enjoy talking to you about what you have and they drop by the next year and say hello.â&#x20AC;?

THE COUNTY PULLS AND DRAGS

adam BramBurGer Staff writer

Advocates for use of the halfvisor in junior hockey leagues across Ontario got a reprieve from an unlikely source Saturday afternoon in Niagara Falls. With a motion on the table that would have seen all junior hockey teams in the Ontario Hockey Association (OHA) go back to the full face masks for the 2014-2015 year — a move some organizers like Wellington Dukes coach and general manager Marty Abrams said would stifle OJHL recruiting efforts — St. Michael’s Buzzers president Mike McCarron moved that the OHA table the discussion for another year to allow for a more informed vote. Though McCarron’s Buzzers have traditionally had more players wearing the full face masks than many of their Junior A rivals, he said approving a move last weekend would amount to a “kneejerk reaction” and he suggested the idea of tabling the motion to allow the OHA to collect more information about the pros and cons of each type of facial protection when it comes to the safety of its players and officials. The motion to table passed with a large majority of the more than 80 Junior A, B, and C teams attending the meeting. With that step taken, the issue will be raised again in 2015, though individual teams and leagues — including the OJHL and the Empire B Junior C Hockey League may opt to impose mandatory full face masks if they choose to for the upcoming season. Players themselves have the right to choose to play with either style of mask. Leading up to the annual general meeting, the OHA board of directors passed a resolution that each team would carry extra dental insurance that would cover up to $25,000 per instance still outstanding after OHIP, players’ personal or parents’ dental coverage, and Hockey Canada dental insurance funds are exhausted. The cost of the additional insurance is about $270 per team per season. The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League and Hockey Alberta already have similar insurance coverage in place to prevent participants from extreme out-of-pocket expenses arising.

LaBarge enjoys strong start to 2014 eventing season with first, third finishes

It appears Picton’s Katie LaBarge and her horse Ashton’s Harper have found their groove at the training level on the Ontario eventing equestrian circuit. This past weekend, the duo placed third at Port Perry’s Dreamcrest Horse Trials, a competition known for its difficult cross country courses. That followed a first-place finish at the Caledon Horse Trials the weekend before and together, the results cemented LaBarge a berth in the provincial championships in September. Coach Michelle Harper had plenty of praise for the

17-year-old Nicholson student and her horse following the Dreamcrest outing. “Dreamcrest is a tough course and Katie handled itreally well. Her confident and calm approach to each trial serves her particularly well on these extremely challenging courses that require strategey combined with technical skill. The training level sees fences and jumps as high as 3’3” with brush extending as high as 3’11”. LaBarge says she’s pleased with how the year has started. “I am very proud of how Harper and I managed the

course at Dreamcrest. We trust each other and look forward to working on our skills throughout the summer,” LaBarge said. This is also Harper’s first season in the training level as he advanced with LaBarge after their first year of riding together last summer. The duo started the year with a sixth-place finish at the Grandview Horse Trials in Hawkestone and they continue to learn how to work together better. LaBarge and Harper share a calm, steady temperament.

County offers wide range of celebrations for Canada Day Wellington committee encourages residents to wear red, white, fly flag AdAm BrAmBurger

Staff writer

With three communities preparing to stage their best celebrations yet, it appears Prince Edward County is ready to take on Canada Day in style. As in past years, the patriotic village on the lake in Wellington is the first to ring in as it looks to string five days of celebrations together for the nation. “The celebrations in Wellington are as fast and furious as ever,” said organizer Bob Stock. “Our theme is being proud in red and white and we’ve done a lot to develop that.” The Wellington recreation committee is encouraging residents and business owners to decorate their properties in their finest Canadian colours for a chance to win prizes leading up to the parade. “The contest will be judged and they’ll win bragging rights and a ribbon to show off their patriotism,” Stock said. Using the weekend to lead up to the big day, the Wellington event technically starts with the Legion supper on Friday night from 4:30-6 p.m. Saturday, the Elks Club will host some fun for the whole family with its second annual kids fishing derby at the dock at the foot of Belleville Street near the Sandbanks Bar and Grill between 9 a.m. and 11 p.m. On Sunday, residents can gear up on their own and then Monday night, Wellington is again the place to be on Canada Day eve, continuing some longrunning traditions. The evening’s events start with a chicken barbecue at the Legion from 4:306 p.m. before the ever-popular Eddie & the Stingrays take over for the free street dance between 7:30 and 11 p.m. on Main Street. At dusk, the Wellington firefighters’ pyrotechnics team will light off the year’s first fireworks from the beach. Canada Day itself also starts early in Wellington as the Friends of the Wellington Museum host a pancake breakfast fundraiser at Town Hall at 8 a.m. The parade will muster around the Wellington and District Community Centre on Belleville Road at 10:30 a.m. and it will head west down Main Street. Again, Stock said the committee is encouraging red and white in float design and for those who would like to enter decorated bicycles or walk in the procession. He is also encouraging people to celebrate the Canadian flag in their entries. This year’s grand marshalls will be Wellington and District Lions Club president Art Hewer and past-president Janet Marissen. The club is celebrating its 40th anniversary of service in the area. Official ceremonies will kick off in the park at noon. They’ll be followed by hours of live music featuring the likes of the Craig

Foster Band and Instant Rivalry. Also in the park, there will be a food court featuring the Rotary Ribfest, offering dinners for $10 between 11 and 2. From noon to 2, the popular Kid’z Fun Zone will be open on the front lawn at C.M.L. Snider School. it will feature jumping live entertainment, bouncy castles, face painting, balloons and much, much more.

PICTON

Down the Loyalist Parkway to the east, there will be plenty to do in Picton on July 1, though one of the most popular sites is always in Delhi Park. There, an estimated 4,000 people will pass through the children’s carnival, which is sponsored by a group of local churches led by Bloomfield’s Emmanuel Baptist. Organizer Gillian Chapman said many families look forward to the celebrations in the park. “This is what Canada Day is all about! The community working together to create an opportunity for children and parents to come together with other families to celebrate this great country,” she said. From noon to 6 p.m. those families will have a chance to visit enormous bouncy castles, try their hand at a three-story inflatable slide named Whally the Whale, try to ride a mechanical bull or take part in some smaller rides and games for younger children. There will also be live music. Volunteers make the park events happen, Chapman said. “We want children to remember this day and all the fun they had celebrating Canada and community.” Children 12 and under will receive a free wrist band, good for all the rides they desire as well as four food items, treats, and a gift bag provided by Emmanuel. The will be room for picnics and volunteers will also be manning barbecues, making popcorn, and spinning cotton candy in the park. A free prize draw will also be offered that features a 10’ bouncy castle as a prize. Elsewhere in Picton, Main Street will be closed from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. to allow pedestrians to celebrate and to visit many local merchants who have prepared sidewalk sales and special events. The Picton Pirates will be on hand to play ball hockey with community members and once again this year, the Come Alive Outside playzone will be in effect from noon to 4 p.m. Come Alive Outside spokesperson Sarah Walker said this year sponsors Willowlee Sod Farms and The Scott Wentworth Landscape Group will sod a portion of Main Street where people can take part in unstructured play and physical activity. The Come Alive Outside

mAin AttrAction The large inflatable rides at the children’s carnival in Delhi Park continue to be a favoured activity for young people in Prince Edward County. This year, Emmanuel Baptist has again taken the lead on organizing the event in Picton, with the rides being available between noon and 6 p.m. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

movement was started to combat an increase in sedentary lifestyles and to promote healthier lifestyles outdoors. Downtown Picton will also have a wine, beer, and cider garden open alongside an artisan market that has grown in recent years. Once again, the annual dog parade will take place at 1 p.m. Picton’s evening show will once again take place at the parking lot on Mary Street at the foot of Elizabeth Street overlooking Delhi Park. An official ceremony with cake will take place at 7 p.m. just before the band Meghan & The Minors is set to headline a concert leading up to the evening fireworks show. There will be opportunity for families to visit local restaurants to eat before the concert, however, the Picton Pirates will be running a barbecue that night. The evening show will once again feature buskers and the sale of glow sticks leading into the finale. Branch 78 of the Royal Canadian Legion in Picton will also be getting into the excitement of Canada Day as it hosts its annual lawn party from 1-5 p.m. The Reasons will play hit songs from the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s outdoors in front of a licenced beer garden. There will also be a barbecue available as well as raffles and draws. The Legion will be open to the public on Canada Day.

AMELIASBURGH

Those living in the county’s north end or looking for another local venue to try this year don’t have to cross into Trenton or Belleville. The Ameliasburgh Recreation Committee will host its own celebrations at the Roblin Lake Park. Celebrations will start at 5 p.m. with a barbecue put on by the Ameliasburgh firefighters. There will be fireworks at dusk sponsored by the local recreation committee.

Organizer envisions inviting trucks from other cities for second event in 2015 TRUCKS, from page 1

“They wanted to make really good food without comprising restaurant quality or look, all with a lower investment,” he said. Starting from Los Angeles and spreading throughout the US, themed food trucks took off in Canada about four years ago in Vancouver and the tidal wave to mobile much stands continues to grow. “What we've notice lately is there seems to be a real push towards ethnic food and different types. Tacos have always been popular but now we see a lot of Indian trucks, West Indian Trucks, Churros, et cetera.” With the event's popularity, Doss already has his sites set on the 2015 edition where he hopes to bring trucks from Eastern Ontario

Brown was thrilled to be a part of the event that drew a wide swath of mobile food producers. “I think it's awesome and it involves a lot of people from both local people and people from all over,” Brown said, adding she was happy to see some of her regulars stop by and dine on a taco or two. “When I started, my mis-

sion was to be part of the community and when the locals come back often, I know I'm doing something right.” Co-owners of Hinterland, Vicki Samaras and Jonas Newman added they would be thrilled to host the 2015 event after seeing the scores of foodies flock to their winery this weekend. “I grew up in toronto and I know the value and the taste of really great street food and there is some unbelievable things here today,” Samaras said. “There's a lot of local traffic which is good for the winery, but it's nice to have great weather and see the people having fun, enjoying the day. We've had people kicking the soccer ball around and families just making a day of it,” Newman added.

Owner Brent Liersch said the food truck operates year round in the Steel City and he also does some catering in the winter when business slows down. Outfitted in a orange General Lee motif from the hit show The Dukes of Hazzard, the Dirty South was impossible to miss. Liersch said he enjoys bringing 'The Genny' to places outside of Hamilton and notices the quality of food truck offerings continues to climb. “It's a big change from

St. Andrew’s summer arts program to start Sunday The second annual Summer at St. Andrew’s season will launch on Sunday June 29 at 10:30 a.m. with a community art show entitled, “Let There Be Light”. The show, organized by artist-in-residence Jeanne Campbell will feature local artists, esteemed and emerging.

On Tuesday evening council voted to approve a 0.028 hectare (280 square metres) land purchase to allow for road widening at the construction site. The cost of the acquisition was $300. A report presented to councillors Tuesday says the minor property purchase was required to accommodate the existing and proposed road along the north side of County Rd. 14 west of the existing bridge. “The Archeological Heritage Assessment completed for the County Road 14 bridge indicated that the existing bridge abutments

were part of the former mill in this area and are of heritage significance. They should be retained,” the report says. “By repositioning the road approaches to the new bridge on the north side and west of the bridge this can be accommodated. A small parcel of road widening property is required.” Work to replace the bridge will begin on Wednesday, July 2 and will be undertaken by Bonnecherre Excavating Inc. Beginning Monday, July 7 County Rd. 14 will be completely closed to traffic at the Demorestville Creek bridge until construction of

the new bridge is complete. The construction is expected to wrap near the end of August. Detour routes will be in place for the duration of the closure with traffic on County Rd. 14 being redirected via Doxsee Road, Black Road, and Gomorrah Road. The municipality is advising residents to expect delays in the area and nearby residents are being warned that construction noise may occur between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.

opment will dwarf Udder Flap in scope. There are even plans in the works for a Prince Edward Countythemed adventure game that would feature County landmarks. “You're a character in Prince Edward County and you're tied into this story with Lakeshore Lodge which I know is very familiar with a lot of locals,” said Harvey. “It's sort of a time travel adventure game and so we're bringing in a local artist, hopefully, and it really comes down to writing a good story and tht takes a long time.” Harvey said there's there's a lot to be inspired by in Prince Edward County. “It has great history, it has great landmarks. So if we can incorporate that into a fun, wacky adventure game it would be fantastic,” he said. One thing they said they want to make sure of is that each of the games have the wacky tone and “random humour” of Udder Flap. Crenna said he's spent a lot of years working on games that try to take themselves too seriously. He said, to him, that's not what gaming is about. “Gaming is more to have fun. There are so many adult topics covered in games now, why not just have fun with it and go back to the games I grew up with when things weren't so serious all the time,” he

“In something as massive as the App Store, it's really difficult to get in front of people. Even Flappy Bird didn't explode until six months later,” he said. “… You start slow and just hope it gets there.” Crenna and Harvey said Udder Flap is just the beginning. Updates for the game are planned and Harvey said the pair have at least a half dozen ideas for future games, a few or which are already in development. “There's a cow and gnome theme throughout our first batch of games — cows fighting gnomes basically,” said Harvey.

since including the leadership of Campbell over a year ago. “The theme for the past year has been ‘The Courage to be Colourful’ says Rev. Lynne Donovan. “We

believe that music and art serve to connect us both to ourselves and to the Mystery. In many ways this direction takes us back to our roots when artists played a central role within the Christian community.” Also part of the summer season is the Sunday at 2 p.m. concert series kicking off on July 6 with Shout Sister directed by Juno-award winner Georgette Fry. The series will include Take 6 (Broadway), a duo of Tom Leighton and Mark Despault, Lenni Stewart and Julian Gallao, The Kitchen family and conclude with Medieval music directed by Holly GwynneTimothy. Tickets are $10 at the door and the sanctuary features comfortable chairs and air conditioning.

Our neighbour and a friend at work just changed their furnace and got an A/C unit installed through an outfit called Access HVAC. We both heard that name before. My husband and I decided that it was time...time for a NEW Heating System and if the price is right, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s get an A/C unit in our home as well. We called Access HVAC out of Belleville. Boy! Did we get a deal; not only did we get an efficient Furnace, we also arranged to get the A/C unit at half price and they offered us a choice of a :L), 7KHUPRVWDW +XPLGLĂ&#x20AC; HU RU D 0HGLD $LU )LOWHU IRU )5(( )LOWHU IRU )5 )LLOWHU IRU ) HU I R )5 ) YES, WE SAID FREE.

While Llosyt says the hospital repurposes equipment where it can, she said she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if that will be possible with the antiquated telemetry equipment as parts are hard to find. She indicated the equipment could ultimately be recycled.

Janice Heard, also a registered nurse working with the inpatient unit indicated the nurses didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to adapt much from the previous telemetry equipment which was bought in 1999. The nurses had one afternoon training session and discovered it was very similar to what they had, but with the benefits of the touch screen monitor, the notion that the actual telemetry monitors are powered by rechargeable batteries, not the nine-volts Heard said the hospital was â&#x20AC;&#x153;running through like water,â&#x20AC;? and the end of constant calls to other departments to try to borrow replacement parts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Make sure that you tell (the public) that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very grateful,â&#x20AC;? Heard said. Each year, PECMH admits 1,060 inpatients. Statistics provided by the foundation indicate that at any given time, two to four patients are receiving the telemetry monitoring â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a constant reading of heart rate and rhythm â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and at times, all seven monitors have been in use. The new equipment will also make it easier for doctors to manage care for patients they previously might have had to transfer to other facilities. The campaign to purchase the telemetry equipment was launched in November and it formally wrapped up yesterday as Finnegan and Quinte Healthcare Corporation president and chief executive officer Mary-Clare Egberts cut a celebratory cake to celebrate contributions made by

individuals, businesses, and organizations in the county. Some of the largest contributors included the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Auxiliary, the Stark Family Fund, and a generous bequest from the estate of T. Dawson McWilliam. In total, almost 500 different donors gave to ensure the equipment could be installed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very, very appreciative of the support of the public,â&#x20AC;? said Finnegan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This equipment makes care much more efficient. The doctors brought this project forward as their top-priority need and we did it. The public has been very generous.â&#x20AC;? Foundation director Fran Donaldson added it took just six months to achieve the desired funds to bring the telemetry unit up to state-ofthe-art conditions. She added that sends an important message as the community looks to answer questions about the future of health-care delivery in this community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about the future hospital, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also working very hard to keep this one well serviced, well supplied, and up to date. To see the future, we have to live through the present,â&#x20AC;? she said. The foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interim director of development Hazel Lloyst said it is important the public realize that hospital equipment always needs renewal. She noted in this digital age, it is not uncommon that all equipment has a shelf life of just five to 10 years. Also, all of that equipment is funded by the community, not the province. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In five years, if you can imagine everything here will

It offers the best climate in which to tackle those mandatory maintenance projects that all home owners must tend to at least once annually. “Maintaining your home’s integrity helps foster the sense of pride that comes with home ownership,” says Costa Poulopoulos, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association. “If you recently became a new home owner, now’s the time to turn your attention to a few big projects that will keep your
