Maybe it was by coincidence.

Or maybe it was by design to have Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation chair Larry Matheson speak last amongst the presenting regional foundation heads at Tuesday night's Quinte Healthcare Corporation (QHC) annual general meeting.

Maybe QHC knew what was coming.

Or perhaps it was a shock.

Either way, Matheson held nothing back as he unleashed on the Board of Directors, stating his group was “blindsided” by the decision to cease the practice of regular obstetrical care at PECMH and donations to the group that oversee medical equipment purchases are down about 50 per cent from where they normally would be at this point of the calendar year.

After rosy reports from the heads of the North Hastings and Belleville General Hospitals as to their foundation's activities in the past year, Trenton Memorial Hospital foundation chair John Smiley checked in with a report that would have hit a three out of 10 on the vitriol meter. This was only a slight shadowing of what was to come.

Matheson came on slow, sharing goals and successes over the past year, high-

lighting recent medical equipment purchases and speaking to the history of the Foundation which reaches back to 1985.

The local hospital foun-

dation has raised over $10 million in its three decades of operation and over half of that amount in the last decade.

“In a community of

25,000, that's an astonishing accomplishment. It demonstrates the commitment of the people of Prince Edward County have to their local hospital

Councillors hope to cut down engine break noise in urban areas New signage would request drivers to not use devices Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

Council looked to limit noise from heavy summer truck traffic this week, voting to post signs at the entrances to the municipality's urban areas urging truck drivers not to use engine brakes.

Engine brakes were also a topic of discussion last year and council voted to post the signs at entrances to the county, but councillor Barry Turpin — who Carol Brough

initially brought the issue to council — said the intent was to post them in urban areas which have the most truck traffic noise cause by the mechanisms. He said posting the signs at entrances to the county would be ineffective.

Council voted strongly in favour of a motion to post “do not use engine brake or avoid using engine brake” signs at entrances to urban areas of the municipality where complaints or requests

and it's a relationship of trust we have enjoyed,” said Matheson.

But the PECMHF has come up against “a significant and very worrisome variable,” one that is hindering the momentum PECMHF has enjoyed in recent years.

And he pointed the blame squarely at the hospital organization.

“Amalgamation has not been kind to our hospital,” Matheson told QHC directors and senior staff.

“Under amalgamation we've seen services at PECMH greatly diminish.

Continued funding cutbacks and patient bed closures, medical services eliminated, nursing and other medical staff laid off — decisions over which we have no control — have left our hospital a shell of its former self.”

Matheson said last week the foundation was blindsided by a recent QHC announcement that maternity services are being eliminated at PECMH. He admitted this wasn't a spur of the moment decision and the plan had been talked about for a few months, but based on QHC's capital equipment requests, the Foundation had already started accumulating funds to support the maternity ward and purchasing of such equipment was being processed.

Matheson said his group was presented with a capital equipment budget request a year ago in which two fetal monitors were required investments to be procured with PECMHF entrusted funds.

have been made to do so.

Engine brakes are common on large vehicles with diesel engines and help slow the vehicle down without putting added wear and tear on traditional wheel braking systems.

“When this was brought forward last year there was a number of people who said there was a need for it because of the use of engine brakes,” Turpin said.

Prinzen honoured as co-valedictorian at University of Guelph’s Kemptville campus PECI alum could land career with organization like Ministry of Agriculture or Farm Credit Canada following graduation JasON PaRks

Staff writer

The extended family that is Prince Edward County agriculture has a valedictorian in its collective midst.

Holly Prinzen of Sophiasburgh was voted as covaledictorian of the 2013 University of Guelph, Kemptville Campus class and was afforded the honour of addressing the 130 or so Ontario Agricultural College graduates last month.

Prinzen, a PECI alum that grew up on her family's dairy and cash crop farm on Bethel Street, said she was honoured and grateful that

the class of 2013 voted her and Enterprise's Scott Brown as co-valedictorians.

“It's a great honour,” Prinzen said “After Scott and I were nominated, no one else put their names forward and the graduating student body voted to affirm us.”

Taking two years off after graduating from the local secondary school in 2009, Prinzen worked at Picton Farm Supply and considered her post-secondary options.

“I love being on the farm and being raised on a farm.

There's always something to do,” she said.

Prinzen decided to study

agriculture in the fall of 2011 at Kemptville after her twin sister Hillary went west a year earlier and studied at the University of Guelph’s Ridgetown College.

“She really liked the program and we talked about it and I decided it was for me, but I wanted to go to a different campus,” Prinzen said.

As a freshman, she wasn't really sure what the future held but knew she wanted to get involved in the agricultural sector.

So what did Holly Prinzen learn about agriculture during her two years at Kemptville?

FWIO president Peck celebrates post at afternoon tea in home district

AdAm BrAmBurger Staff writer

Evelyn Peck attributes many great experiences in her life to her involvement in the Women’s Institute and related activities.

WIth that in mind, it is not surprising that Peck decided to celebrate the crowning achievement of being named the president of the Federated Women’s Institutes of Ontario with many close friends during an afternoon tea in Ameliasburgh last week. “It’s touching that so many women I know are here to congratulate me,�

Peck said, adding she was also fortunate to have her three sisters and two brothers as well as several board members from across the province on hand.

Peck said she got her start with the Women’s Institute as a member of several 4-H clubs, including the homemaking clubs often sponsored by Women’s Insititutes. Her sister-in-law actually helped her along that path with an invite to join a 4H gardening club.

It turns out, there was a very active Junior Women’s Institute and a Junior Farmers organization in the county during the time when Peck was a teenager and she was even taking leadership roles then, co-chairing the annual chicken barbecue and dance at 16.

“That was the event where I first danced with my husband,� she said.

Peck continued to be involved locally and she recalls she got to be involved at the district level in the county just be being present and speaking her mind. “I'm opinionated. I’m usually not shy about

expressing my opinion,� she explained. “When you do that, you're noticed. They do ask you, ‘Would you consider taking a job?’ I think that's how I got to district and became a district president, then I worked on a conference.

That conference allowed Peck to network with other

like-minded women from across Ontario and gave her an idea that many shared her passion for socializing and learning through the organization. “It just grows from there,� said Peck, who noted people soon found she was someone who would do the work.

Peck said she receives a lot of satisfaction through her representation on the provincial board, meeting with people across the province to discuss different issues. “It’s a good feeling, you get a lot of satisfaction from doing good for the community,� she said.

Peck indicated that earlier this year she helped realize one goal she’d been working hard for since becoming president-elect and that was seeing the Women’s Institute museum in Stoney Creek reopen in April. She said that took many trips and meetings.

As for other goals for her term at the helm, Peck said the members would like to see her board improve communications, making it more open and timely, and to address the always-challenging issue of finding new, enthusiastic members.

Peck also added that she is excited to work with many of the women she’s met on committees or boards over the years.

Prince Edward District Women’s Institute president Nancy Wood said Peck is a great choice to lead the organization provincially. “She's held many positions, she's been different levels at province leading up to this as well as within the area and the district. She's always

been very willing to take on the leadership responsibilities,� Wood said. “Evelyn has good ideas, she’s willing to

listen and she is a very hard worker. We're very lucky to have her representing us provincially.�

great cross section of styles and classes to see.

Quinte Flywheels vicepresident Frank Sharpe said the show keeps bringing people back because “It's not just a show but it's a social event,” Sharpe said. People like to visit and talk about the history of the tractors.”

While International Harvester might have carried the day in terms of the number of tractors, the show featured plenty of Milwaukee-made muscle in its hard-to-miss orange coat.

“This year we featured Allis-Chalmers and it's the first time we've featured that brand,” Sharpe said.

“We had over 15 Allis Chalmers tractors, dozers and even an Allis-Chalmers lawn tractor. It was a great mix of Allis-Chalmers.”

While most of the vintage engines were encased in tractor frames, Garry Montgomery of North Gower, Ontario brought a few standalone engines that would have been carted from place to place by a team of horses.

A century old Goold, Shapley & Muir “Hit and Miss” gasoline engine was hooked up to a grain grinder and drawing a few glances as it slowly chugged and churned the belt driven apparatus.

The World War I era 10 horsepower engine was used for thrashing, cutting logs and grinding corn silage and was manufactured at the GS&M factory in Brantford.

New, the engine likely cost in the neighbourhood of $300 and is one of three engines that Montgomery takes to over a dozen shows each summer around the province.

“I like going to different shows, it's a bit of holiday for my wife and I. We put the straps on the engines, hook up the trailer and away we go,” Montgomery said, adding he's taken the displays to international shows in the United States.

“I get a kick out of people walking up, looking at the engines and then explaining to them how it work and what it was used for. That's where I get my enjoyment out a show like this,” he added.

County women win $50,000 in lottery

Friends could hardly believe their success in annual Heart & Stroke contest Chad ibbotson

Staff writer

When friends Dorothy (Carol) Bell and Dolores Dorenberg combined their money to purchase tickets for the Heart & Stroke Lottery, they never expected they'd win big.

That's why, when Bell received a phone call that the pair had won $50,000, she thought it was a scam.

“I got a phone call first thing in the morning and I thought it was a hoax. I phoned back and it definitely was (real) and it was all excitement,” Bell said.

The Picton residents picked up the cheque at the Heart & Stroke area office in Belleville on Monday. Bell said the aftermath of winning was a bit hectic.

“It was a lot of excitement.

Some people didn't believe

us, it was unbelievable until we picked (the cheque) up,” Bell said. “They couriered it to Belleville from Toronto for us.”

Dorenberg was equally skeptical of the win.

“I thought it was a hoax too,” she laughed. “But it wasn't I guess.”

It was only the second time the pair had entered the lottery. After some debate they decided on paying $250 for three tickets. They each put in $100 for a ticket, and another $25 for a $50 third ticket. It turned out to be a fruitful investment for both.

“We were going to buy one (ticket) and then we decided we'd both buy one.

Then we got talking and Dolores suggested getting a third one because we could get that for $50 — that's the

one that won,” Bell said.

Neither thought they'd be among the $50,000 winners of the foundation's daily cash lottery. The pair had limited plans for any big purchases.

“I'm thinking about buying a car, but after that I'm not quite sure yet,” Bell said.

“Mines just going to go in the bank for now,” added Dorenberg.

The lottery has 8,049 cash prizes totalling $4,725,000. There is a grand prize of $1 million, an early bonus prize of $25,000, an early bird prize of 200,000

and 30 daily prizes of $50,000. In addition there are four extra draws of $50,000 each Tuesday in June, eight extra draws of $50,000 — two each Wednesday this month — and one extra prize of $150,000 drawn this month.

There are also 8,000 prizes of $100 — 2,000 drawn each Thursday.

Bell and Dorenberg weren't the only lucky locals. Paul Hennessy of Demorestville won a $50,000 draw on June 12 and on June 18 Hughie Channell of Wellington also won $50,000.

PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY

Looking back in the

Picton Gazette 80 years ago — 1933

■ The Prince Edward County Hospital board agreed to table a motion for 30 days which would have seen the facility close as soon as all patients were discharged after July 1 after County council declined to approve its customary $1,500 annual grant. Warden T.G. Bowerman assured the board that a grant would be forthcoming if he was given that much time to raise the money.

■ Frank Hogan had an odd discovery on his Pt. Travese farm as a five-legged duck hatched. The duck was described as normal size with two legs attached to its back, one near its wing, and two where they were supposed to be.

■ A grass fire threatened several homes near Rossmore and had firefighters reminding citizen that they needed to take extra care in throwing away matches and cigarette butts to ensure they were not igniting the dry grass again.

60 years ago — 1953

■ The Prince Edward County Hospital Board and its committees unanimously approved t he site of the new Memorial Hospital, the George Miller property on Main Street East in Picton. The board resolved to acquire the site, contingent on the approval of the Ontario Department of Health of the site for a hospital facility.

■ The Picton Kinsmen Club provided a cheque for $550 to see a new cottage at the Salvation Army camp on Roblin Lake dedicated the “Good-Will” cottage on their behalf. The club also pledged to regularly help children attend the camp for future summer sessions.

■ The public school board lost a lot of experience in one night as two veteran teachers retired. Clara Hill moved on after 50 years of teaching in local schools, while Fred Vancott finished a 30-year career. The board presented engraved trays and bonds to mark the occasion.

40 years ago — 1973

■ Facing pressures from Queen’s Park to close or improve sub-standard dump sites and hearing dissatisfaction from residents about site selection, County council hired consultants to help it improve the quality of its waste disposal sites. A central site south of Scoharie Road and east of County Rd. 14 was being considered.

■ With talk of increasing industrial development here, the County’s economic development committee told it a housing shortage might be an ensuing problem.

■ Picton reeve James Bird questioned the necessity of the County sending all its roads committee members to convention in Halifax considering funds were scarce.

20 years ago — 1993

■ The CBC began filming its mini-series Dieppe at the Quinte’s Isle Campark.

A big win for the birds of Montreal

I would dare say that very few of us give much thought when clearing overgrown backyards and fencerows that our wellmeaning efforts could be destroying the nests of many birds.

Certainly this appeared to be low on the priority list when an industrial boom mower performed a fence to fence clearance along a portion of the Millennium Trail in the Hillier area several years ago during the peak breeding season.

Colloquially known as “the roadside terminator” the term is well founded as nests and large daggers of wood for 700 metres were flung in every direction on both sides. I am sure when we used to farm, that we cleaned out fencerows many a time without giving it a second thought.

Fellow nature tour leader Joel Coutu of Montreal, did give it some thought – in fact, very serious thought – when a project in his city threatened to destroy the nests of numerous bird species. He believed that a well-meaning and important project scheduled to take place during the peak nesting season, was in contravention of the Migratory Birds Convention Act, enacted almost a hundred years ago which protects most species of migratory birds and their nests and eggs across Canada.

The project that was to take place? European buckthorn removal in the city of Montreal.

Buckthorn is an invasive species and its planned eradication to protect native vegetation was laudable. However, Joel

OUTDOOR RAMBLES TERRY SPRAGUE

felt that the timing could not have been worse. So, he decided to carry out a census of nesting birds in the target areas to see just what the potential damage to nesting songbirds could be. On June 9, his team of volunteers spotted more than 40 species, 27 species of which were either found nesting, or suggested they might be nesting in the target zone.

Armed with his data and photographs of some of the nests, he approached the City and recommended that the project be delayed until after the nesting season. Furthermore, he proposed that the City adopt a policy that would prevent this kind of work in their city parks during the critical nesting period, from mid-April to the end of July.

Banking on the backing of the oldest pioneer law in the world of conservation, he sent out a mass e-mail to his cohorts

in the birding community as well as to various conservation organizations. Nearly 100 people e-mailed the City with their concerns, among them Dr. David Bird, Professor of Wildlife Biology at McGill University, who is no stranger to birders in the Bay of Quinte area, who agreed with Joel on the bad timing of the proposed cull.

Also commenting was Bird Protection Quebec who stressed that under various federal environmental laws, actions which harm nesting birds such as cutting trees and shrubs containing nests during breeding season are specifically outlawed and to conduct such “incidental take” would be an illegal act.

Another professor of wildlife biology added that individuals and companies in the past have been prosecuted for removing Barn Swallow and Cliff Swallow nests from the eaves of buildings, and that cutting shrubs containing nests is an even more blatant contravention of the act.

Despite contractors having already been lined up to commence the eradication project, the City of Montreal politely listened to the concerns of everyone and agreed that the timing of the project was wrong, and decided to hold off cutting the buckthorn until much later in the summer. One person who commented said, even later in the season, buckthorn would be unmistakably recognizable and their goal to remove this invasive shrub can be more effectively achieved.

Needless to say, Joel Coutu was overwhelmed by the response to his plea, and was very quick to thank all those who supported his concerns as well as the City of Montreal who changed their decision and postponed the culling of the buckthorn. Joel is to be congratulated for his initiative in undertaking the necessary surveys to support his concerns, and ensuring that he was well armed with lots of evidence that ultimately convinced the powers that be to hold off on the buckthorn cull.

“I think this victory will help many other towns or cities” said Joel Coutu in a recent e-mail. “I was surprised how many people were not aware the birds had these laws protecting them...I hope this event will enlighten the public.”

It is commendable that the province of Quebec uses common sense and has the ability to recognize the importance of protecting wildlife and biodiversity in general, vital to our own survival. In Ontario, wildlife is too often viewed as a nuisance, and environmental agencies here ticker tape “kill, harm and harass” permits with reckless abandon as though they were party favours.

Female driver arrested at RIDE check in Hallowell

A 47-year-old Belleville woman was arrested after police determined she had been drinking prior to visiting a RIDE check at the intersection of County Roads 34 and 5 in Hallowell ward.

Police administered a roadside breath test at around 9:11 p.m. last Wednesday and charged the woman with operation of a motor vehicle with more than 80 mg blood/alcohol, contrary to the Criminal

Code of Canada. The woman was scheduled to appear in Picton court July 10.

DOMESTIC

Late Wednesday at about 11:15 a.m. Prince Edward OPP officers responded to complaints of domestic disturbance at a Picton residence. The officers learned that a verbal argument between a boyfriend and a girlfriend had turned physically

violent. The male party, 23, was arrested and charged with assault and mischief under $5,000 contrary to the Criminal Code of Canada. His girlfriend was not injured in the dispute.

The accused was released on a promise to appear in Picton court July 10.

SUSPICIOUS FIRE

In March, police and Prince Edward County firefighters

responded to a call about a vehicle fire occurring on Fish Lake Road in Sophiasburgh.

The fire caused $6,000 in damages and was ruled suspicious at the time. Police have since learned about the presence of a white truck with two males in it in the area at that time. Anyone with information is asked to call the OPP or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Community in tough spot with regard to hospital

IF there was anyone in Prince Edward County that could put on a brave face amid the proposed and rumoured cutbacks at our local hospital, it was always the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation. For years, they’ve kept working away to find ways to rally this community to provide for a facility that doesn’t seem to be at the centre of the current funding model.

Over three decades, the foundation has used its optimism and energy to drum up $10 million in this small community and in recent years, it has helped purchase equipment that would likely be the envy of many smaller and larger hospitals, like the new digital mammography gear that was purchased as the result of the last major public funding drive.

Now, with plans for a new hospital kicking back and forth between the LHIN and the Quinte Healthcare Corporation (QHC) and with a series of recent announcements regarding beds and maternity casting a gloomy shadow on the current facility, let alone what that future hospital could look like — if it does get built — chair Larry Matheson came out swinging, noting that amalgamation has greatly hurt the local hospital and that the perception QHC has done little to douse the flames has all but stifled the enthusiasm that this community has had to better its hospital. It’s a tough risk for him to take, but likely one that was carefully calculated.

It almost appears Matheson and the foundation have taken the position that they’re not afraid of ruffling feathers at QHC by stating the opinion that they aren’t comfortable with the way things are progressing, and by sending a doom-and-gloom message about fundraising, they’re probably acknowledging things weren’t going to get better.

Perhaps, with the foundation on board alongside the POOCH group and other local advocates, support can be galvanized to create some kind of alternative plan that would give both QHC and the administrative bodies above it pause to consider the direction they’re going in and to find some news of their own that will be a positive to residents who clearly want to support their local health-care providers to ensure the best care in a time of need.

On the contrary, however, if the public decides the despair is too great and the challenge too large, there may be an easy argument to be made — though not an accurate representation of support — that people support centralization.

The one thing that’s certain is that frustration is boiling over and the people of Prince Edward County are clearly becoming frustrated that an integrated local health system and campus model once championed by the likes of Leona Dombrowsky and Dalton McGuinty as the example for Ontario is quickly becoming less viable and harder to achieve.

It’s time the people they put in place in the Ministry of Health, the South East LHIN, and in the QHC administration give the public some answers that reinstill a sense of hope in the system.

Johnson kicks off summer of fun and reading at libraries

The Wellington branch is the place to be Tuesday, July 2 at 2p.m. when Tabby Johnson performs at the Library’s kick off to summer fun. Children and their families are invited to learn about the great lineup of summer activities and events and to join the TD Summer Reading Club.

Johnson, returning to perform by popular demand after her appearance during March break, will tell stories and sing songs from around the world in her inimitable style in keeping with “Go!” which is the theme this year’s TD Reading Club.

Young readers will have a chance to win great prizes, too, by signing up, including a Boredom Buster Backpack, a $25 gift certificate from Books & Company, a Beta fish and starter kit, and the grand prize of a Mad Science Party for the winner and 10 friends.

The Festival Players, which has been enriching the County experience with professional and engaging theatre productions for the past seven years, generously donated the tickets to the library.

The tie between the power of theatre to take us to new places and the “Go!” theme in this year’s reading program is fitting as the library celebrates travel all summer long with a wide variety of activities that explore cultures, music, stories and foods from around the world.

Children can enjoy a Travels to India tea party, an Iranian Tea Party, Kids Cook Around The World workshops and Kids Play Games Around the World.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Centralization of services not cure to what ails

As former executive director of the Prince Edward Family Health Team I was saddened to learn that Drs. Forster and Lett will be leaving the Community – this is a great loss to county residents, the Prince Edward Family Health Team and the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital.

It leaves me longing for the day when centralization of services will not be seen as the panacea for what ails our health-care system.

We all understand there is a level of specialized services that must be centralized- we get it - but this has been taken to the extreme. The mantra from

those who insist that preserving our cherished health-care requires centralization of an increasing number of healthcare services, in my opinion, is based on a principle about as sound as “trickle down economics” – it’s “trickle down healthcare”. And like the first which benefitted the wealthy, the latter mostly benefits urban hospitals.

Where are the savings in spending hundreds of thousands of tax dollars to educate a family physician to be trained to provide comprehensive care throughout all of the stages of life, then yanking away their opportunity to provide those services?

What are the economic benefits in keeping rehabilitation services inaccessible to rural patients only to serve the same patients later by transporting them by ambulance to urban ER departments and hospital beds?

The Family Health Team started running local clinics supported by visiting specialists who traveled to us to provide care. As a result, county residents have much improved access to services and the specialists are happy to see the patients less often knowing that their family physicians have both the skills and the willingness to assume their ongoing care.

Which is more economi-

cal to have one specialist travel to Picton to see 20 patients whose ongoing care will be provided locally or to have 20 patients travel to Kingston or Belleville to see one specialist, usually several times?

Or even worse only have 10 of those patients able to afford to travel to the urban centres for care.

What’s old is always new again —- at the turn of the century “trickle down” was known as the “horse and sparrow” theory – feed the horse enough oats and there will be some left on the road for the sparrows.

Wellington a hub of interesting activities this weekend

Wellington is 150 years old this year. To celebrate this anniversary a group of citizens have joined to put together a night of song, dance and theatrical sketches.

Elizabeth Bygrave who has organized many fashion shows in Toronto told me that there will be fun fashions with costumes dating from the last 150 years. The tickets are available in Wellington at Shops

by the Park, the SideStreet Gallery or by calling Doris at 399-5093.

They are also available at Books & Company in Picton. This event, aptly called Wellington Thru The Ages takes place at the Highline Hall in the Wellington and District Community Centre on Friday, June 28 at 7p.m.

The tickets are reasonably priced at $10 with a

cash bar available. Hopefully you can help support this group of citizens who have been working very diligently to produce this fun filled and historical night in honour of Wellington's 150th birthday.

The proceeds of this event will go towards the beautification of Wellington. Also, the Wellington Legion is having a supper beginning at 4:30 .You may

want to make an evening of it by attending both events.

These two events kick off many that take place in Wellington and run through till Saturday, July 6 including the Canada Day parade on July 1. Hope to see you at the Highline Hall on June 28.

Shuffleboarders enjoyed visit to county and would return

We have just returned back home to Belwood, near Fergus, Ontario, and wanted to express our thanks to everyone in Picton for the wonderful hospitality.

We competed in the Ontario Shuffleboard Association Tournament held in your lovely facility. Bish and Durelle Kowacz, and their helpers, worked so

hard to make this tournament wonderful for all participants. Shuffleboard is a wonderful sport for everyone, but is especially enjoyed by seniors.

Thank you Bish and Durelle, and all your helpers, the mayor, the County recreation department and everyone else involved.

Prince Edward County is amazing and many of us enjoyed your natural beauty, your Loyalist history, as well as your hospitality.

Some shuffleboard players brought their campers, and frequented some of your fine restaurants and shops.

Others stayed in bed and breakfasts, or nearby hotels.

We toured Sandbanks

Provincial Park, museums and enjoyed your fine ferries and Lake on the Mountain.

The Wine tours and Cheese Factory were well visited.

We all came away with the same song: We hope to come back to Picton.

Smith completes term with QHC Chair guided hospitals through period of change

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

The only person to chair a regular meeting of the new Quinte Healthcare Corporation (QHC) board of directors is leaving his post.

QHC board chair Brian Smith bid his adieu Tuesday night as the hospital group hosted its annual general meeting in Belleville.

Smith has been board chair at QHC since the Ministry of Health and Longterm Care’s Graham Scott appointed a brand new board in 2010.

Vice-chair Steve Blakley has sat on the board during Smith's entire tenure and said Tuesday evening as mention was made of Smith's final meeting he would miss Smith's warm sense of humour, his dedication to the organization and his friendly personality.

“I know I speak for all the board members and the senior leadership team when I say there couldn't have been a better person to chair the board. His personal knowledge, back ground and involvement in the healthcare industry and his immense passion and focus on providing exemplary patient care made him the obvious choice.

years,” Blakley said.

Smith said he's enjoyed working with the many people involved with QHC, whether it be staff or volunteers or stakeholders.

“It's been an exciting time, it's been a challenging time,” Smith said. “When we look to the future there are many other opportunities and challenges ahead.

I've been blessed to be involved and have this opportunity and want to thank everyone I've had the opportunity to work with over the past three years.”

County Home and John M Parrott Centre in Napanee, Smith showed a steadying hand and provided leadership to a board that may have had business experience but were still cutting their teeth in the ways of health care.

Under Smith's watch, QHC crafted and installed a new strategic plan, balanced the budget, hired a new chief executive officer and a new chief of staff.

Devil’s Wishbone a little piece of paradise in the making for over a decade Delores and I were out in the county for a sip on Sunday and visited several wineries including The Devil's Wishbone. We've been there several times but the most memorable time was when we brought our Opimian wine club there a couple years ago.

Owner Paul Gallagher brought them up into the loft of his 150-year- old barn and regaled them with the trials and tribulations he faced starting his venture while at the same time serving wines that just blew away our members In 2002, Gallagher (a retired chartered accountant) had his company, The Cudzo Corporation, acquire the 85acre property which has been lovingly given the name “The Devil’s Wishbone Estate Winery”. It had been used as a cattle farm for the previous 50 years.

Gallagher found this prop-

VISITORS ALWAYS WELCOME

When crossing the ferry he found it was like a load was being lifted off his shoulders and he found this rural picturesque countryside very much a relief from the stresses of Toronto.

He soon acquired the current property and so began his journey. The first couple of years were dedicated to get the property up to building code standards which involved gutting the original farm house and installing those comfort features of new electrical, a new central air and heating, new lighting fixtures, new septic system, new kitchen, two new bathrooms, a laundry room and basically everything new.

The barn was a entirely different proposition requiring extensive repairs as it was in desperate need of help before it fell down!! Once the main farmhouse was livable he moved to the county. He says it was a decision that, as many before him have said, was as quick as he could move.

By the time 2004 came around it was confirmed that they were going to plant Vinifera grape Vines on a modest scale of approximately five acres. Now the prepping of the land started with tile drainage and clearing all the cedars from the dedicated vineyard area.

After clearing and tiling began the lengthy process of plowing the area followed by extensive cultivating.

By 2005 they were ready to plant and incorporated the services of J. Wiens who uses a GPS system to ensure that the vines are spaced exactly one metre apart. Similarly the rows were space at three-metre intervals. In the first planting they put in 3,000 Burgundian Pinot noir; 2,500 French Cabernet Franc and 3,000 German (Wiess) Riesling. At this time they started and completed their excise license (federal) application which basically allows you to put the grapes into containers but you are not allowed to ferment the grapes!!! For that you need a manufacturer’s license (and at this point I can confirm

that Paul is not a lover of paperwork - must be from his years of being an accountant!)

In 2006 they added 1000 French Pinot gris and in 2007 another 2000 Pinot noir and 2000 Pinot gris. Finally in 2012 they planted an additional 1500 Pinot noir.

During the first few years, following their original plantings, they tended to the grapes until they noticed that there was going to be several tonnes available and that they either had to market or use their ability to make their grapes into wine. They decided at that time to sell their grapes to other local wineries which they continued to do until 2010 when they then decided that they were ready to start up the winery.

That involves a myriad of licensing requirements (his beloved paperwork!) plus the expenditures required for a facility: stainless Steel storage tanks, picking bins, 1 tonne totes, oak barrels, and countless other tidbits of winery equipment.

In 2011 they received their licenses to manufacture and sell wine at their winery location and they then opened for business on Friday May 13, 2011 !! Pretty interesting: Devil's Wishbone opening on Friday the 13th!

Gallagher says the decision was one that he wished he had made many years earlier and he has never regretted a day that he has been in the county.

When you're out for a sip in the county you have to make it a point to stop by the Devil's Wishbone. If the sun is shining plan on sitting outside on the patio and tasting some great wine while gazing at the shimmering waters of lake Ontario in the distance. As Delores put it on Sunday: "It's kind of ironic, the Devil’s Wishbone being like a little piece of paradise"!

New book examines geological formation of Prince Edward County Contributors also examine politics, architecture, and economic issues AdAm BrAmBurger Staff writer

Prince Edward County has a rich history, dating back several generations and featuring a number of prominent people.

To Orland French, however, it wasn’t enough to just go back to when Champlain passed through the community or to when Sir John A. Macdonald took his first steps in politics and in law. For his account of the county’s story, French decided to look back a great many years more than that. “I like to tell a story from the beginning,� said French, noting that his new book Wind, Water, Barley, & Wine attempts to share the story of how nature has shaped the local landscape and the way people have used it over time. “I’ve been working on it for the past three years and it’s a full-colour history of the county through the eye of geology,� said the longtime journalist and former Loyalist College professor of the book he’ll launch at Books & Company this Saturday at 1 p.m..

French worked with geologist Dugald Carmichael, a professor emeritus at Queen’s University, who discussed the notion of faults in the rock creating the spectacular landforms tourists come to visit and, in fact, even kept the county from being

reAdy for releAse Orland French’s new book Wind, Water, Barley & Wine will tell the story of Prince Edward County through the lens of geology. It will be released this Saturday. (Submitted photo)

buried beneath the waters of Lake Ontario.

The book notes the county has risen 40-50 centimetres since Champlain 400 years ago and shifted westward about six metres since Macdonald due to shifts in its tectonic plate.

French explains there is a large fault line running from Picton Bay up the Hayward Long Reach toward the Deseronto area, causing the uneven elevation of shorelines there.

Another interesting fact offered is that the county was located south of the equator 450 million years ago.

Using geological theories, the book also explains the rare occurrence of the Sand-

banks, which it says were laid down by glacial icecaps 18,000 years ago and Lake on the Mountain, which French described as a “giant sinkhole� contrary to the mythology surrounding it. He noted Fish Lake and Roblin Lake are likely similar and other areas may also be candidates to sink in the future.

Besides just describing the landforms, however, French and his contributors go a step beyond to discuss what has transpired on that land.

Naturalist Terry Sprague has contributed lengthy passages of the book on the changes in flora and fauna since the arrival of Europeans in this region.

Well-known broadcaster and writer Peter C. Newman wrote the introduction for the book and also provided information about the influence of the Loyalists here.

Lindi Pierce, who has written extensively about architecture, has also contributed to the project with information about the changing types of building the county has seen from primitive refugee tents to the use of stone, lumber,

proposals and how they might impact the land and the way of life for those who are living here.

The substance is brought to life through the vivid colour photography of Darko Zelkovich, who has photographed this area by air extensively for this project. The Prince Edward Stewardship Council also contributed images.

The book, which was published by Wallbridge House Publishing in Belleville will be available at Books & Company and in selected wineries and retail outlets. It will sell at the recommended price of $40, plus applicable taxes.

and brick.

Having been the lead author on similar books about Lennox and Addington and Hastings County, French ties together all the information with the political and social history of the county and its evolution through barley production, to canning, to the presentday wine region.

He said the book touches on wine through its examination of the terroir of the soil and landforms and the way that it can impact the taste of beverages produced here.

The book also takes its look at the future, weighing in on the controversial industrial wind turbine

Drought appears to have disappeared as a current threat to the extent that the sun worshippers among us are lamenting the rain. So far our neighbouring farmers have not verbally joined their ranks.

For gardeners, particularly those with trees still recovering from last year’s weather pattern, the rain is still an asset. As well the time that it takes wet soil to dry out enough to be workable can always be used for other tasks such as dead heading flowers or planning future garden alterations.

Some concerns, that arose this past week at Canadian Tire and in the community, are with pests on plants. As few pesticides are now available to anyone growing plants for pleasure rather than profit the solutions remaining are often similar for very different pests: to use what is still available at nurseries or to follow practices such as hand picking, shaking or spraying.

You can, of course, use both methods.

The Ministry of the Environment does not allow the use of home made pesticides and herbicides because of the risks and has not since Earth Day, 2009.

To put it more strongly it is now illegal. For example some of the products that have been in home use require boiling which produces poisonous fumes. It is easier and safer for the

government to forbid all usage of these products than to make a list of what can be used and what cannot because of damage that may be caused to the user or to the environment. At the same time they restricted the use of most commercial pesticides and herbicides to trained commercial growers.

Two of the pest problems, brought to our attention, involved plum trees.

A tree is often the hardest to treat for the home gardener due to its size. The first of the problems involved aphids which are generally associated with roses but they also use as hosts vegetables, fruits and other ornamentals. Aphids reproduce almost continuously in the summer by

laying live young. In the fall they lay eggs which remain on the plants through the winter. These hatch in the spring as females who do not need to mate to once more start reproducing live young. Aphids suck the juices/sap from leaves and buds causing leaves, flowers and fruit to distort and fall off.

Generally a host of insect predators keep the population down. Using a broad range pesticide on aphids would also kill aphid predators that range from lady bugs to various kinds of wasps.

Since aphids generally begin on the undersides of leave that are often only noticed when there is a large increase in the population on a plant and the aphids are everywhere.

Simply spraying water everywhere to dislodge the pests paying particular attention to the harder to access bottom of the leaf is recommended.

Spraying should be repeated once or twice after the first round. You can also use products sold in nurseries but the directions must be followed. One of the plum tree owners had chickens which happily ate the dislodged aphids.

Those lacking chickens may want to catch those washed off the tree on a sheet.

All plant debris should be removed from the base of the plant in the fall and safely disposed of. The plant should be carefully watched the next spring to avoid future infestations.

Aphids are easier to stop before they start laying live young.

The second concern raised in regard to plum trees was the appearance of a jelly like substance at the tip of the fruit which later fell off the tree. Weevils which attack fruit trees are the likely culprit though there are two slightly different explanations for

what happens. Either one source is mistaken or two different types of weevils are involved. Since the solution in either case is the same the exact cause is not as important. Nevertheless for the interested in one case the adult lays the eggs at the base of the fruit which then develops into the larvae which burrow in and eat the fruit causing it to fall off the tree. The other explanation is that the eggs are laid on the tree and the young larvae locate and then burrow into the bottom of the fruit which they eat thus causing the fruit to fall off the tree.

The weevils in question overwinter in wooded areas or leaf litter. In the spring they move to fruit trees and lay eggs which hatch within 10 days and follow the above pattern.

When the fruit drops they exit the fruit and then pupate in the soil. When the adults emerge they feed on the fallen fruit before hibernating over the winter.

To interrupt this pattern collect the dropped fruit daily and safely dispose of them. Remove all litter from under the tree in the fall. In the early spring, look for weevils to appear on the trees at blossoming time. Lay a sheet under the tree and shake the tree or hit the trunk and limbs with a padded stick to knock the adults out of the tree and dispose of them.

If the tree is too large for a home gardener to tackle you may want to locate a professional to undertake the task. The disposal of what lies under the tree over the season is nonetheless still a required part of prevention.

A three-juror panel of professional artists has waded through the entries for the 20th Art in the County exhibition and, now, it’s our turn.

The show will open at Books & Company today on a three-week run where members of the public can show their preferences in two ways — voting for the people’s choice award and putting down their own cold, hard cash on pieces they’d like to offer a more extended engagement.

The doors to the Lipson Room above Books & Company will be open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday for visitors to view the show McMichael Canadian Art Collection chief curator Katerina Atanassova and her colleagues Peter Large, the pastpresident of the Society of Canadian Artists, and Linda Jansma, the senior curator of Oshawa’s Robert McLaughlin Gallery put together.

In their statement, the jurors indicated they were very impressed by the overall level of the works they examined, which spanned a variety of different media. “Such diversity speaks of the active artistic community in the county and manifests the level of creativity and professionalism among the artists,� the jurors wrote. “The jurors, therefore, wish to congratulate not only the artists whose works were selected, but all who submitted works and who continue to express their artistic vision through their selective media.�

This year, the jurors had the opportunity to present a new award of excellence, presented in memory of Manley Edward MacDonald, a Point Anne native who was both a founding member of the Ontario Institute of Painters a teacher at the Ontario College of Art for nearly 20 years.

MacDonald painted spectacular rural landscapes in a style similar to those painted by the Group of Seven, travelled Europe painting war sites, and also spent time commissioned by the federal government to paint agricultural scenes.

The winner was Suendrini, who created the fibre arts piece Country Road 12 from reclaimed and new textile.

The piece depicts a scene from Sandbanks Provincial Park and was described by

Fox Cranston, acrylic, with the notation: “Fine observation of weather patterns in nature, sense of impending storm with hinted optimism in the right hand corner.�

In addition, the jurors also handed out five honourable mention awards for works in this year’s show. Those selected were as follows... ■Ayr Pit, Laurie McGugan, oil on glee print. Noted for: “Expansive industrial landscape transitioned to a child playground, with very creative use of perspective.� ■Embroidering the Truth, Mile Murtanovski, oil.

Pasternak to launch new series in Waupoos Stars to reprise Minerva hits, new county musical set to premiere Aug. 17 AdAm BrAmBurger

Staff writer

The shores of Waupoos harbour will be filled with songs and stories of local lore this summer.

County playwright Suzanne Pasternak has decided to bring her storytelling back to the stage after a three-year hiatus and she says she has found a great stage to showcase her works to the public.

“This is so exciting. The Waupoos Marina has a fantastic covered outdoor stage right at the docks,” she said.

The Cannery Row Sum-

mer Theatre By the Lake series starts with Pasternak’s The County Show, July 14 and 21. The show is a mix of Prince Edward County folklore stories that Pasternak has collected and worked on over the past 30 years of her career.

Among the featured stories is arguably Pasternak’s most famous work, Minerva, with some of its best numbers being performed by very talented musical actors.

Toronto’s Peter Deiwick starred in productions of Rock of Ages and Mama Mia for Mirvish in Ontario’s biggest city and he previ-

Linda Bell also plan to feature some other talented, well-known stage figures to county audiences, including her daughter Natasha Pasternak, Mark Despault, and Rick Zimmerman.

Pasternak told the Gazette she is also looking forward to using the series in Waupoos to introduce a new musical she has been working on as on Aug. 17, County Rum Runners is slated to premiere.

Tickets for the performances are $20 each and are available through Books & Company and Waupoos Marina. Show times are at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m.

“The tour de force of talent on the stage is spectacular!” Pasternak said. “I am so excited to have the great Mirvish star Peter Deiwick in the show. He and Emily Fennell are a vocal powerhouse” The talented Tom Leighton has stepped forward to be the musical director for the series, while Pasternak and co-producer

Ostrander Point ERT hearings wrap up Fetal monitors could still benefit county tribunal panel of Robert Wright and Heather Gibbs.

Among the points debated, according to observers, were the weight that should be put on the 2011 Erickson decision from Chatham-Kent in the APPEC appeal on human health as well as the value of medical evidence and the standard of proof necessary to prove serious harm to health.

In the PECFN hearing,

there was also debate about the burden of proof required to prove harm and the definition of serious and irreversible harm given that’s not terminology found in the Green Energy Act. For more detailed review of the submissions leading up to next month’s ruling, please see upcoming editions of the Picton Gazette.

HOSPITAL, from page 1

“(The request) was presented to the foundation in June 2012 and we worked very hard to raise the funds for two fetal monitors for the hospital's maternity department,” he explained.

With the announcement made two weeks ago that QHC would no longer host low-risk births at the local hospital, Matheson said the foundation board of directors will be placing funds raised for the monitors in a special account “until we can best determine how to manage them.”

Matheson said the funding was provided to the foundation in good faith and “we won't let that trust be broken.”

He added that with actions such as these “it's no wonder that rumours are rampant that QHC's underlying intention is to close PECMH.” “QHC can deny this all you like, but your actions have created this impression and little has been done to calm community fears. There is no point in suppressing these facts,” he stated.

As a result of this caustic view the community is holding of QHC and its management of PECMH, the foundation said donations are about half of what they normally would be.

“At no time have we

‘QHC can deny this all you like, but your actions have created this impression...’

L. MATHESON FOUNDATION CHAIR

seen such a reluctance for giving, spawned by his 'wait and see' attitude that is working its way through our traditionally strong circles of support,” Matheson said. “Our citizens are concerned that if they give in this current climate, their gifts are going down the road to bolster expansions and increase stock at another facility.”

In spite of all this, the PECMHF will soldier on and continue to raise funds for medical equipment that is not covered by the Ministry of Health and Longterm Care.

Matheson assured the group the foundation will ramp up efforts in the community to let citizens know that support of the local hospital must be on-going to make it strong again.

“We are the trustees of community's gifts to the hospital and we take that very seriously.

Their gifts will support

health care in Prince Edward County,” Matheson said. “This will be a year that will require our most dedicated efforts and most creative abilities and with the support of the community, we are confident we will prevail.”

QHC president and chief executive officer Mary Clare Egberts responded to Matheson's presentation after the AGM was adjourned and said she knew the community was discouraged by the hospital cuts in general and the loss of obstetrical care in particular.

“I understand that the community is discouraged and it doesn't surprise me that donations are down,” Egberts told the Gazette.

“Hopefully we can demonstrate in time that we are committed to the long-term life of the hospital and we look forward to working with the Prince Edward Family Health Team, the foundation, the alliance to ensure a strong future for the community hospital.”

As for the monitors, Egberts said there were a couple of scenarios that would see the equipment benefit the community.

“We would still be interested in keeping one of the monitors at PECMH because we are still going to have obstetrical emergencies and it would be very beneficial in that situation,” she said.

The other monitor could be turned over to the PEFHT for the possibility of pre and post natal care administered by family physicians.

“We would love to see that equipment remain in the community and be used by county patients,” she said.

Quinte Conservation shows concern about flooding

throughout its territory and report the potential for danger using a prescribed system.

On Tuesday, Quinte Conservation issued a flood outlook statement, which shows potential for flooding conditions based on weather forecasts.

The next step is a flood watch, which notifies residents of potential for flooding within specific watercourses and municipalities.

In those cases, landowners and emergency services should prepare to act.

Finally, a flood warning would be issued when flooding is imminent or in progress. Actions like road closures and evacuations could occur.

The event will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Quinte Conservation is asking for a recommended donation of $2 per person to help run the program.

Navrot said her hope is that families will be able to learn more about Quinte Conservation itself and what it can do in partnership with the public to protect species and water.

The series will return to Prince Edward County Aug. 10 for the final session at Massassauga Point Conservation Area.

July 5 will be considered a Family Nature Day at the Macaulay Mountain Conservation Area.

Quinte Conservation announced the Picton site will be one of eight locations for the new nature education series, which it will launch July 3 in Cloyne.

Conservation education co-ordinator Maya Navrot said the events will give people a chance to experience nature activities and games, a live reptile show, and guided hikes through the conservation area. There will also be times for crafts, displays about species at risk and water, and handson experiments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our summer education staff are currently planning activities for the Nature Days and they are really

Given the forecast for the next week, officials with Quinte Conservation are on the lookout for flooding within their watersheds.

Heavy rains of up-to-10 centimetres over the next five days, couple with a high volume of spring rain could mean water levels rising with the potential to place docks and low-lying properties under water, says Quinte Conservationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water resources manager Byron Keene. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Due to the recent spring rains, lake levels are higher than normal for this time of year,â&#x20AC;? said Keene.

He indicated the conservation authorityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staff will watch the lake levels throughout the area of concern â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which includes all waterways in Prince Edward County as well as the Napanee, Moira, and Salmon River watersheds â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and complete dam operations as needed to reduce the flow of water.

In addition, Quinte Conservation is advising people near streams to exercise caution with respect to strong water currents. Slippery stream banks may become treacherous with water running quickly.

Quinte Conservation will continue to monitor the changing water conditions

Dukes alumnus battles Stage 4 lung cancer Facebook group aims to support B.J. Ketcheson Jason Parks

Staff writer

Fundraising efforts are underway for a former Wellington Duke that's been diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer.

B.J. Ketcheson patrolled the blueline for the Junior A hockey club in 1995-1996, playing 47 games for the squad when they were participating in the old Metro Junior A Hockey League.

Earlier this month a precautionary MRI found two spots on his brain, leading doctors to discover Ketcheson, who is now self employed as a carpenter, had contracted a rare form of cancer.

A facebook page called BJ's Battle is updating Ketcheson's health as well as what treatment forms are being considered.

In the meantime, support for the father of two young children (one of which is a newborn) can be sent to a special account at TD Canada Trust (Account #6363620 Branch #2088)

HaPPier times Former Wellington Duke BJ Ketcheson spends time with his children in this undated family photo. One of the first Wellington Dukes to drafted to the NHL, Ketcheson is battling stage 4 lung cancer.. (Submitted photo)

As well, Belleville Police Service is hosting a charity barbecue at the Belleville Police Station from 11-1 p.m. Today.

After his season in Wellington, the Napanee native was picked up by

the OHL's Peterborough Petes.

Carving out a niche as a stay-at-home defenceman in Major Junior hockey, Ketcheson would wind up getting drafted to the Florida Panthers in the 1998

NHL entry draft and was one of four players from that 95-96 Wellington Dukes squad (Chris Stanley, Seamus Kotyk and Dale Clarke are the others) that were either drafted or signed to NHL contracts.

Restored Miss Canada IV on display at Gravenhurst show

A number of boats that raced locally during powerboat racing's heyday in Prince Edward County will be on full display as the 33rd annual Antique & Classic Boat Show in Gravenhurst next weekend.

In what is being billed as the greatest race boat show in Canadian History, the four day event will have over 150 boats displayed on land as well as the waters of Muskoka Bay from July 4-7.

“Boats that have raced in Prince Edward County will be comprising a large part of this show,” said local powerboat racing historian John Lyons. “The boat racing history of Prince Edward County will be featured prominently.”

The vaunted Miss Supertest III will be on full display and the former Harmsworth Races champion will likely draw a steady crowd of onlookers.

However, the real rare gem of the show will likely be the newly restored Miss Canada IV. Owned by the Wilson family and driven by Harold Wilson, the boat had a star crossed life in the world of powerboat racing, never quite reaching its potential in the Harmsworth challenges.

However, on a still, crisp and cool October morning in Picton bay in 1950, Miss Canada IV realized her full potential.

With its Griffon engine firing better than it ever had, Miss Canada IV roared down the calm deep waters of Picton Bay in excess of 200 mph, shattering the current world water speed record.

The boat would not withstand the test and a shredded gearbox ended Wilson's day, but not before he drove himself into the record books.

The boat was ultimately sold to the Thompson family and became Miss Supertest I and that vessel helped pave the way for the old glory herself, Miss Supertest III. “There's still a huge number of boat racing fans that would be interested in seeing these boats up close and personal and it's amazing to think a big chunk of Prince Edward County history will be on display,” Lyons added.

Among the class of boats that will be featured at the show include wooden racers, sea fleas, unlimited hydroplanes, racing canoes and other racing watercraft.

MS Bike Tour to return to county Local stretch raised more than $200,000 in 2012 debut Chad ibbotson

Staff writer

Cyclists will again take to Prince Edward County's roads in hopes of playing a part in the search for a cure for multiple sclerosis.

The MS Society of Canada's 2013 MS Bike — which is the largest cycling series in North America — will again have a presence in the county when it kicks off next month. The MS Bike website lists the Prince Edward County ride as one of six taking place in Ontario and one of 27 taking place across the country. More than 10,000 cyclists are expected to participate in one and two-day tours taking place between June and September.

The county ride will take the cyclists through 75 km of rural roads. A release from the MS Society says approximately 200 cyclists are expected to take part in the event, which looks to raise awareness for thousands of Canadians living with multiple sclerosis.

Ontario alone will raise an estimated 2.8 million in pledges which will fund crucial services for people living with MS as well as research into the cause, treatment, and a cure.

Prince Edward County ride participant Scott Davis knows the impact of the debilitating disease. His wife Linda was diagnosed with primary progressive MS in 2005.

“There’s no doubt why I do this. I’m raising money to help find a cure,” Davis said in the release.

To date, more than $50,000 has gone to the cause as a direct result of Davis' participation in the MS Bike.

“I e-mailed friends and family and a few colleagues, and I raised over $3,000 my first year,” Davis said. “That kind of support really planted the seed and has brought me back to MS Bike year after year. It’s a great cause.”

Funding through the MS Society has a direct impact on the lives of those living with MS. Services like financial assistance to help purchase wheelchairs and other essential items make an immediate difference in

quality of life.

The disease is chronic and often disabling, affecting the brain and spinal cord.Multiple sclerosis affects between 55,000–75,000 Canadians and is the most common neurological disease of young adults. Three Canadians are diagnosed with the illness every day. Most are diagnosed between the ages of 15 and 40 and the unpredictable symptoms last for the rest of their lives.

The 2013 MS Bike will mark Prince Edward County's second year participating in the event. Last year 208 participants registered for the event, some coming from as far away as Windsor. The tour raised an estimated $200,000 in Prince Edward County in 2012.

In our lives there are often three words we will always remember.

Thing's like "I love you" or "its a boy/girl", but the 3 words I will never forget are "Harry passed away". Words that will forever change my life, words I never wanted to hear. They say life goes on and with the help of my amazing family and friends, I will not be alone. Harry had a beautiful send off to join his many friends and family members, the hockey team has one more player! I would like to thank everyone who sent cards, flowers, food and donations at this sad time. A special thank you to my brother Al for helping me with Harry and to Pam and Brenda for being his caregivers and friend.

Also thank you to his sisters and brothers-in-law for loving him like you did, he was one lucky guy.

Thankyou Tod for your kindness and guidance throughout this difficult time. R.I.P. Harry Mac, till we meet again. Sherry, Hal and Jaclyn Thank you Donna and Donny Boschma for hosting Bob Ungar's celebration of life, thanks to Donny for the wonderful eulogy and prayer, thanks to Jackie Insley for all the running around you have done for me in the past few days, thanks to Frank Ungar and Deedee, Chris and Deb, Tasha Maracle for bringing goodies, and Larry and Lucille Lounsberry for the use of the tables and fibreboard and thanks to all the friends and family for coming to celebrate.

FILO. In loving memory of Louis Filo on the 3rd Anniversary of his sudden passing on June 28, 2010.

But his presence is still felt with us everyday. We miss him and hope, that he is at peace and doing what he loved "Sailing" Let me quote his favourite poem.

Sailors pray, For fair winds and a following sea.

The smell of salt in the air, The feel of their skin as it's touched by the spray.

To witness the work of art that only God can create The sunset at the end of day.

At night a million stars in the sky, safe anchorage in the island lee.

And lastly, Lord, when it's time to go, let there be boats, and lakes, in Heaven's glow.

Always loved and remembered by his wife Katarina, daughters Betty & Kathy, Trent and Mark and greanddaughter Chloe. vaLLeau, Vera. In memory of a dear mother who passed away June 29th, 2006.

Its lonely her without you In miss you more each day The world has never been the same Since God called you away.

I love you, Suzanne.

Time has eased the pain And the memories have dimmed Yet today we remember with love The wonderful life we all shared.

tICe, Mildred

heffernan - In memory of Mike

Those we love remain with us, for Love itself lives on.

Cherished memories never fade, because a loved one is gone.

Those we Love can never be, more than a thought apart.

For as long as there is a memory, they’ll live on in our heart.

Always missed, forever remembered Love, Garry, Lisa, Trevor, Melissa, Abigail & Griffin

Les Burrows June 27, 2010

It’s hard to believe You are no longer here, We think of you You feel so near In some small way, every single day Memories of you come our way.

Always loved & remembered by Jean and family.

GueRNseY-RYaLL, Laura. 19642000. In loving memory of a daughter, mother, grandmother, sister and aunt.

I give you this one thought to keep I am with you still, I do not sleep I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glint on snow, I am the sunlight on ripened grain I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning hush I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight.

I am the soft stars that shine at night Do not think of me as gone I am with you still in each new dawn.

Always loved and remembered by your Mom & Dad, children Michael and Chrissy, Justin, Stacey, granddaughter Kaiya, brothers David & Andrew and their families. haRtMaN, John. In loving memory of a dear husband and best friend who passed away January 27, 2001.

I cannot bring the old days back when we were both together, But secret tears and loving thoughts will live with me forever.

Sadly missed by your loving wife, Nellie.

MOsseY- In memory of Melrose Mossey.

The moment that you died my heart was torn in two, one side filled with heartache, the other died with you you.

I often lie awake at night, when the world is fast asleep, and take a walk down memory lane, with tears upon my cheeks.

Remembering you is easy, I do it every day but missing you is heartache that never goes away.

I hold you tightly within my heart and there you will remain.

Love always Art & family.

stRutheRs, Calvin Peter. In loving memory of a dear husband, who passed away June 29, 2008.

It is lonely here without you, I miss you more each day, For life is not the same to me, Since you were called away.

If I could have one lifetime wish, One dream that could come true, I would pray to God with all my heart, For yesterdday and you.

Love your wife, Rita stRutheRs, Calvin Peter. In loving memory of a dear father and grandfather, who passed away June 29, 2008.

A light is from our household gone, A voice we loved is stilled, A place is vacant in our home Which never can be filled.

Some may think you are forgotten Though on earth you are no more, But in memory you are with us As you always were before.

Loved always, Shawn, Tanya, Earla and your 8 grandchildren.

In loving memory of our dear mother who passed away June 30, 2010.

In all this life we shall not find A heart so wonderfully kind, So soft a voice, so sweet a smile, Inspiration worthwhile; A sympathy so sure, so deep, A love so beautiful to keep.

We will always love you Mom, Dianne & Marilyn

In loving memory of my Dad, passed away June 25, 2007 Dad, its been six years since you went to be with Jesus, I think of what it could have been like, if you were here with me, We could have been driving your Big Red Dump Truck together, Teaching me how to do the jobs, But Dad, I do remember a lot that you taught me about the backhoe Even if I was just a little guy.

I miss you everyday and always will Miss you and love you Dad, your son Bradley

I can still hear you saying “Ma” its all right whichever way it goes, I’m okay.

Nothing can dim your handsome face, Nor the memory of your smile, The wonderful things you said and did, That made our lives worthwhile, We will never forget those precious years son, The ones we spent with you Love and joy you generously gave To everyone you knew, Since you were taken from us, We longed to let you know How proud we are that you were ours And, Brian we love you so and always will.

Till we see you again one day, Miss you and love you always, Mother and Father.

The Picton Gazette THURSDAY, JUNE 27, 2013

Complaints from residents in Bloomfield prompted Turpin to raise issue

BRAKES, from page 1

Turpin said when the issue was discussed last year there was a general feeling that signage would be the best way to try to limit the noise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A number of other places have bylaws regarding Jake brakes or engine brakes, but it was thought that just a sign put up, those who abide it, would reduce this particular problem,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We don't have to go through the effort of changing all the bylaws, just put up some signs.â&#x20AC;?

Although he said a year ago there were a number of people who said the signage would be useful in urban areas throughout the county, the issue came to him through resident complaints surrounding trucks

coming into Bloomfield. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are certain trucks that come on a regular basis, coming over the hill on (Hwy.) 33 and use engine brakes,â&#x20AC;? Turpin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Ś There are a number of places I've had complaints and that's initially what started it.â&#x20AC;?

He said the signs should be put up in urban areas where requested. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I see the need for it in various parts of the county,â&#x20AC;? he said.

A report from Turpin on Tuesday's council agenda says the approximate cost of putting up each sign would be $250 and that no funds have been put aside for any additional signage.

A report submitted to council by engineering, development and works commissioner Robert McAuley

last year regarding the issue says engine brakes are permitted under the Highway Traffic Act and the municipality has no regulatory authority to prohibit or restrict use of the devices. McAuley reiterated that point on Tuesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My understanding of what the councillor is asking for is a courtesy sign. It would not be part of a bylaw, therefore it would not be enforceable,â&#x20AC;? he said during Tuesday's discussion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I spoke to the chief building official to raise the question as to whether it would be enforceable because it's a normal piece of engine equipment and he had some doubts about the enforceability of it.â&#x20AC;?

Both councillors Bev Campbell and Jamie Forrester said they weren't nec-

essarily in opposition to the intent of the signs, but neither voted in favour of the motion.

Campbell said she wanted some evidence of need. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I understand the report from the commissioner that came forward in 2012 suggested that it was not recommended at that time,â&#x20AC;?

Campbell said at Tuesday's meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I don't see anything in the report today

that shows anything has changed.â&#x20AC;?

Campbell said she didn't want signs to go up unnecessarily.

Forrester said the issue should be dealt with through the municipal noise bylaw. He said, while not necessarily opposed, he believes there are still some deficiencies in the noise bylaw that the engine brake issue should be tied to. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We allowed certain

commercial businesses and residential (areas) to make noise to a certain time at night and it would be an inconvenience for some of the residents, but we still decided to leave it like this,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Ś If we're going to put restrictions on engine braking because it's an inconvenience and annoyance to our residents, that should tie into the same problem our overall noise bylaw has too.â&#x20AC;?

CCSAGE writes Ontario MPPs

The membership of the County Coalition for Safe, Appropriate Green Energy (CCSAGE) has been busy writing letters recently.

The organization has written to every MPP in the Ontario legislature to advise them the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wind power fantasy will cost taxpayers $40 billion in increased electricity and tax bills over 20 years.

That, they say is 145 time the reported $275-million cost for relocating a gas plant from Mississauga. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That $40 billion could be better spent,â&#x20AC;? said CCSAGE chair Garth Manning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s put a hold on wind power generation â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an inefficient and unreliable technology â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and reallocate those huge wind power subsidies to areas of much greater needs.â&#x20AC;?

He noted that money could create an eco-friendly Metrolinx transit system for the Greater Toronto and Hamilton area and still pay to save threatened community hospitals across the province.

Manning said the current system isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t working as urban areas are covered with smog and experiencing gridlock, while rural residents are being forced to live with industrial wind turbines and their potential effects on human health, property values, and on quality of life.

He urged the politicians to explore the alternatives.

POOCH rep asks QHC to put hospital in hands of county residents Reimers says board could create a special committee to oversee the regular operations of PECMH for a fixed term hospital board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a board of directors, you have the power to restore some democracy to the people of Prince Edward County, he said.

Reimers said QHC create a special committee to takeover some of PECMH's operation and then ask the people of the county to elect all the committee members. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That action would go far to quell the feelings of animosity that have fermented during the winter of our discontent,â&#x20AC;? he said.

In the meantime, he said, there are several creative and imaginative actions QHC could take that would address both actual and perceived problems in the relationship between the people of PEC and QHC.

In thanking Reimers for his address, outgoing QHC chair Brian Smith said the board is committed to having PECMH be a rural hospital that serves the needs of the residents of Prince Edward County.

He added QHC continues to advocate for a new hospital and he sees the Minister's response to a deamalgamation request as support of QHC's plans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will continue to work diligently to seek approval of the redevelopment of PECMH and ensure all County residents have high quality, safe and accessible health care,â&#x20AC;?

During that time, the people of the island developed a democratic culture of mutual health dependent on volunteers.

The Patrons of Our County Hospital (POOCH) want to see control of Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital in the hands of local residents.

And they are asking nicely.

With about a dozen supporters in the gallery, POOCH representative Rev. Al Reimers spoke to the Quinte Healthcare Corporation (QHC) board of directors at the hospital board's annual general meeting Tuesday evening in Belleville in a thoughtful and even tempered presentation, called for more community involvement in the operation of PECMH. Reimers provided an overview on the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s activities to date and its origin which include meting with Minister of Health Deb Matthews in April during a peaceful protest where POOCH asked for the province to disengage PECMH from the QHC corporation.

Matthews reserved her response to such a request until earlier this month when she politely told the group via mail correspondence that there were no de-amalgamation plans for any QHC â&#x20AC;&#x153;at this time.â&#x20AC;?

Reimers told the QHC board which included president and chief executive officer Mary Clare Egberts, that the last part of that denial, is key to the group's hopes one day there might be an independent PECMH. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That phrase at this time, seems to leave the door open just a crack for some future consideration of our request, so we look

The Wellington resident called the initiative that saw a previous government pair a successful rural hospital with an urban one â&#x20AC;&#x153;a mistake.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We still believe the situation is reversible, even if it takes time and and an unusual track to recover democratic and local management of our hospital,â&#x20AC;?

Heritage twist to Wellington Canada Day weekend AdAm BrAmBurger

Staff writer

With the village celebrating its 150th anniversary, the organizers of Wellington’s Canada easily settled on a heritage theme this year.

Spokesperson Bob Stock said the committee was able to trace Wellington’s lineage back to its first settler, trapper and trader Daniel Reynolds

and they were fortunate enough to find his direct descendant Rob Callow to lock up as a parade marshall.

As they learned more, however, Stock said the committee felt there might be others deserving of an invite — in particular, Chief Donald Maracle of the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte.

“Reynolds formed a friendship with the local

Mohawk band,” Stock explained. He noted the band not only helped him build his settlement, but also nursed him back to health from illness that surely could have taken his life while he was here.

Stock said Maracle graciously accepted the invitation to attend the parade and Canada Day ceremonies, continuing the strong bonds of friendship that have carried over from those earlier days.

“We’re just thrilled the band has agreed to participate,” Stock said.

Maracle is slated to join

dignitaries like MP Daryl Kramp, MPP Todd Smith, and councillor Jim Dunlop at noon Monday for the ceremonies at noon.

Continuing on with a long-running joke, Stock said that once again, the village’s patriotism couldn’t be limited to just one day of partying Monday.

“We took one, then two, then three days and now it’s nearly a week.”

The Canada Day celebration starts tomorrow night at the Legion with the regular Friday supper at 4:30 p.m.

This week, it features appetizers, prize ribs, and clam

chowder.

Later that night, a musical revue gala Wellington Thru The Ages will help ring in the 150th celebrations. Tickets are available for $10 each.

On Saturday, the focus turns to the harbour as the local Elks club has prepared to host a children’s fishing derby and the Lions Club will have some demonstrations of its widely popular dragon boating club including celebrity races. The main bout has been touted as a grudge match between MPP Smith and Mayor Peter Mertens.

Sunday reprises a longrunning Wellington tradition as the street party returns with Eddy and the Stingrays from 7:30 - 11 p.m. The Legion will again be a source of some great food as there will be the prefireworks chicken barbecue for $10 per person. A silent auction will benefit the Storehouse Foodbank.

The Wellington firefighters are again preparing an amazing fireworks show at

dusk from the Wellington beach.

Canada Day itself will get underway with a Friends of the Museum pancake breakfast at Town Hall starting at 8 before the mustering on the parade on Belleville Road.

Stock said participants in the parade are asked to dress up in period costume based on when their ancestors arrived in Prince Edward County and to plan their floats accordingly as well.

Immediately following the parade, there will be a Kid’s Fun Zone by C.M.L. Snider School, food at both churches, and entertainment in the park including the Grampa’s Goodtime Gang, Centre Stage, Becky Elliott, Mark Bass and School of Rock, plus a wide variety of vendors. The Rotary Club will be serving up ribs and sides too for $10 per plate.

The following Saturday, July 6, the Legion will host its annual car show andparade in support of the Storehouse Foodbank. The parade starts at the Essroc Arena at 10 a.m.

Picton packs a lot of fun into Canada Day events

Canada Day visitors to Picton are used to no shortage of enjoyment throughout the day and it appears this year will be no exception.

Shops and stores will be open for browsing and buying throughout the day, but the excitement on the street will ramp up around noon.

Stilt walkers, buskers, and other performers will ply their trade on Main Street, while vendors offer cotton candy, lemonade, and many special events. Groups involved this year are the 4H Clubs, the Quinte Dolphins swim team, and the Ontario champion Picton Pirates.

Walking through downtown, where Main Street will be closed, people will come to the corner of Elizabeth Street where a great amount

of action is. The Come Alive Outside play zone will be set up to allow families a chance for unstructured play in an a temporary green space.

Dogs can also get into the action as the annual dog parade goes at 1 p.m. with participants meeting in Benson Park and walking down Main Street toward the play area with judging at the Armoury Mall.

Throughout the day, children can also jump into the children’s carnival in Delhi Park, sponsored by Emmanuel Baptist Church and its partners, other area churches and service clubs.

There will be bouncy castles, a bungee run, a mechanical bull and more on site for the estimated 4,000 people who decide to spend their afternoon in the park

between noon and 5 p.m.

“This is what Canada Day is about — the community working together with other families to create this great country,” said organizer Gillian Chapman.

Children 12 and under will receive a free wrist band to take part in all rides and to receive food items, treats, and a gift bag.

Back up the hill at the Mary Street parking lot, the evening celebrations will feature an address by Mayor Peter Mertens as well as the traditional cake.

The Dolphins will be selling glow sticks again and the Rising Star competition is slated to return to entertain people leading up to the fireworks show starting at about 9 p.m.

As always the fireworks

are one of the more costly elements of the celebration, so Picton Recreation volunteers will be milling about on the Mary Street hill to collect donations to ensure the show continues on in future years.

During the afternoon, the Picton Legion will also be a hub of entertainment and activity at the other end of Main Street.

The Reasons will be entertaining between 1-5 p.m. near an outdoor licenced beer garden, while Legion members will conduct raffles and draws. The barbecue will be running and karaoke will start in the lounge after the lawn party.

Guests are invited to bring a chair.

Although some fixer-uppers may seem like a bargain, certain repairs and renovations are very costly and before you know it, you could end up with much more than you bargained for. Some projects require a great deal

Example: mortgage, car loan and credit cards total $225,000. Roll that debt into a new $233,000 mortgage, including a fee to break the existing mortgage, and look at the existing mortgage, and look at the payoff.

Century 21 Lanthorn Real Estate Ltd. would like to welcome the newest member of The Family Team - Tamara Young.

Tamara joins her In-laws, Kevin & Sandy Young and husband, Jason Young. Tamara was born & raised in Bloomfield and has some deep County roots! Tamara's strong work ethic and enjoyment of working with the public began as a teenager in Bloomfield. After graduating from PECI she went off to Sir Sandford Fleming College which led her into a 10 year career in Importing/Exporting at the Windsor, Ontario border crossing. Prince Edward County and her family were never far from her heart so in 2006 the decision was made to officially move back HOME! Tamara has been a well known face around Picton at a couple of different Pharmacies until joining the rest of the family at Century 21 Lanthorn!

Buying a home that needs some TLC can be an affordable option, especially for first-time homebuyers. There are all kinds of “fixer-uppers” out there, but it’s important to remember that not all fixer-uppers or “handyman specials” are created equal.

As with any real estate purchase, the sticker price is far from the only factor to consider when making a buying decision.

“Look at the location, the neighbourhood and the type of

What you need to know about buying a fixer-upper

more than just a simple refresh.

However, aesthetic fixes are relatively easy and inexpensive to update. Here are some examples of aesthetic issues: • Out-dated paint colors • Wallpaper • Flooring • Cabinet hardware • Lighting Where things get tricky is when you are looking at altering the guts of the house – these kinds of projects can end up being time consuming and costly.

For example, in Ontario, homes built in the early twentieth-century that have not had their electrical system upgraded may still have “knoband-tube” wiring, which means the home will need to be completely rewired– a large and expensive task.

Here are some projects that can be challenging for homeowners to tackle: • Structural changes • Additions • Updates to heating, electrical and plumbing systems • Full kitchen/bathroom remodels • Re-roofing • Adding central air The best way to know if a fixer-upper is worth a second look? Talk to your Realtor, he or she will know the lay of the land and the pros and cons of the home and the neighbourhood. Make sure that before making an offer on any home to get a home inspection so you know what you’re getting into.
