Long-serving hospital helpers honoured Auxiliary takes time to recognize volunteers who give time generously adam BramBurger

Staff writer

The value of a volunteer's contributions is often intangible as every shared smile with someone in need and every hour of behind-thescenes fundraising means something a tad different. When you add up the years and hours that volunteers have been giving of themselves, however, you can get a sense of the selfless dedication those individuals give. Last Thursday, the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Auxiliary did just that as they handed out their service awards to show appreciation for all that time lovingly given. "Every one of us — the people who are active now, some who have been more active in the past, some who are very new and just getting started — all of us have made and continue to make wonderful contributions through our auxiliary to our hospital," said Auxiliary president Fran Donaldson. "This is our chance to be together and enjoy the company of one another and to take a little time to say 'thank you.'" Some 23 members were honoured for milestones reaching every five years

Virginia Blakely has been a mainstay as a volunteer for the hospital and this year, she was recognized for giving more than a half-century to the cause. Blakely has done practically every job imaginable.

She rolled bandages during the war, she organized bridge game fundraisers, helped feed patients, and offered time in the physiotherapy and dialysis clinics. Blakely has been quite involved with the blood donor clinics, which she still volunteers for now, and she was there for the creation of the Second Time Around Shop. Blakely recalled one of her neighbours telling her about a similar concept in Cobourg and talking about starting one here to raise money for the hospital. "We started in the late 1950s. It made money then, and it still does now," she said, adding that it's obviously changed greatly in that time. "It's much bigger now. We started it in just a little room. Now it's a big store and there's more than twice as much there." Blakely said she always found volunteering for the Auxiliary an interesting way of helping her community. She said there are always people to meet and see, and she was fortunate that many of her friends have also served alongside her over the years. She indicated she has no plans to stop volunteering.

SECTION

As expected, the sudden closure of the 78- bed Picton Manor long-term care facility has impacted local residents currently on waiting lists to enter nursing homes. It has also impacted the operation of Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital as, currently, seven beds at the hospital are occupied with Alternate Level of Care (ALC) patients awaiting placement at area long- term care homes. At Quinte Health Care's monthly meeting in Trenton on Tuesday, president and chief executive officer Mary Clare Egberts confirmed the local hospital expects to house two ALC patients at any given time. But after the Ministry of Health and Long-term Care revoked owner/operator Stephen Bordo's licence due to financial issues and safety concerns, the number of ALC patients at PECMH has more than tripled the number QHC has budgeted for. “I think first and foremost, we have to be concerned for the residents of Picton Manor and we have to hope they will find suitable facilities that will meet their needs,” Egberts told the Gazette. “This situation will create issues and we look forward to resolution on this and hope that the beds are returned to the county at a future date when the South East Local Health Integration Network completes its request for proposal process.” Egberts said the QHC senior leadership team will be monitoring the situation closely because the sudden glut of ALC patients “could infringe on our ability to offer acute care services that other members of the community may require.”

Council gives blessing $648,600 surface treatment contract awarded County selects for couples to tie the low tender from Miller Paving knot at Shire Hall Clerk’s office can perform marriage ceremonies Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

Those looking for a low-key venue for their pending nuptials will have a new option after a motion passed by council on Tuesday. The motion allows the clerk or other designated official to conduct civil marriage ceremonies at Shire Hall. The new service will be offered at a fee of $250. A report prepared by deputy clerk Kim White says the idea arose out of a popular request. “When the clerk’s office issues marriage licenses, staff are frequently asked by the applicants, if civil marriage services are available at Shire Hall,” the report says. “As part of the corporation's emphasis on customer service, the clerk’s office would like to provide the option of performing civil marriages as part of the clerks department functions.” The report says the clerk's office reviews marriage license applications and issues the licenses and applicants frequently ask if the ceremonies are offered from Shire Hall or if a Justice of the Peace that can perform one. “The Justice of the Peace no longer provides this service for our area, and without staff authorized to perform the ceremony, the applicants are required to contact a minister, officiate or marriage commissioner to solemnize the marriage,” the report says. The municipality is given the authority to perform marriages under an Ontario regulation. Typically, the report says, the municipality issues about 85 marriage licenses in a year and about 15–20 of those would take place at Shire Hall if the service was offered. “This is an opportunity to provide an additional customer service, and have a nominal increase in revenue,” the report says. “The summer months are generally the busiest time for marriages, hence the report is brought forward at this time.” The report says the new service would result in a revenue increase of approximately $3,750–$5,000. The motion passed on Tuesday evening also en-

dorsed a document titled “Getting Married at Shire Hall — General Information and Planning Package” which describes the process of tying the knot at the municipal building. That document says the County would offer civil marriage services normally on the second and fourth Friday afternoon of every month between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. The service fee of $250 does not include the fee for a license which costs $125. The service will be performed as a non-denominational ceremony. A civil ceremony has never been performed at Shire Hall before.

The County has awarded the 2012 surface treatment contract. The contract has been awarded to Miller Paving Limited, which was the lowest overall tendered bid at a cost of $648,600 plus HST. A report from the public works commission approved by council on Tuesday evening says the county has a large portion of roads that need surface treatment. As is standard practice all tenders were reviewed for mathematical correctness and to make certain all documentation required for the tender

submissions were complete. After that review Miller Paving's tender was recommended for approval. “This was a highly competitive bidding process with an overall decrease in price from the 2010 rates of approximately 24 per cent,” the report says. “Part of this decrease in pricing can be equated to specification changes to the tender in 2012 which will provide a similar or improved product at a reduce cost to the municipality.” That reduced cost will allow for extra work. “As a result of the competitive bids received staff would recommend adding to the planned surface treatment works to maximize the additional funding provided by

from Shannon Road to Ridge Road. When all roads are included the total work area covers about 69 km while still running within the 2012 allotted budget of $981,000. Only two tenders were received for the work. With HST the Miller Paving tender comes in at $732,918.23 while the other tender came in at an additional cost of about $50,000.

shifting roads identified for 2013 into this year,” the report says. The report says the surface treatment work primarily involves roads that require a maintenance lift or that have become unmaintainable in whole or in part. These roads include about a 4.7 km stretch from Babylon Road to Whattams Road, a 6.4 km stretch along Old Milford Road and a 2.1 km section

Happy Anniversary We love you both so much

There was a big more urgency Saturday as the Wellington Rescue Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary unit staged its annual pancake breakfast fundraiser. That’s because the unit, a lifeline for boaters across the county’s south shore operating on a budget of about $2,000 a year is facing a number of additional costs to stay on the water. Chief among them is the need for a new lower unit on its 1994 model watercraft.

Unit leader Scott Johnston explains the unit is used to steer the vessel in the water. “Right now, when we put the boat in gear, it doesn’t kick in for four of five seconds and that’s critical when you’re making a tight manoeuvre,” he said, adding the unit has seen added stress due to towing. Johnston said right now, the boat has been cleared for operation, but the work will have to be done by the time the summer is out. “That delay is actually dangerous,” said member Rob MacCallum. “Every year

costs are always a hurdle for us to operate and this is another.” He said unit has the option of replacing the failing cones for $2,000 or replacing the entire unit for $10,000. This is the second time the lower unit has required attention by way of repairs. .In addition, Johnston said insurance rates are increasing and the Coast Guard only covers the boat when it is actually in use for a rescue. Over the past year, the rescue unit responded to 14 calls, including problems like fires, fuel shortages, and the most common engine failure. This year, the unit has already responded to three calls, including a fire and a rescue off the rocks. The breakfast raised more than $800 in donations and is just the start of what Johnston said will be a more aggressive year of fundraising, including handing out bottled water and collecting donations at the Wellington LCBO Aug. 4 and participating in organizing the RCMP Musical Ride at the Picton Fair this fall. In past years, the fundraiser was organized by a group of boaters thrilled with the safety net the unit provided, who called themselves the Friends of Wellington Rescue. Johnston said they decided to turn over the event organization to unit members, but many of those original supporters still turned out to offer help. Meanwhile, the unit continues training regularly, including joint sessions with CFB Trenton search and rescue units., classroom sessions and boating sessions. Johnston said the unit is looking for new recruits, who ideally would have their operator’s licences and be willing to invest the time necessary to train. Interested parties can call him for information at 613-399-5856.

Trillium Foundation gives Community Foundation $49,200 grant Funding supports long-term administrative stability AdAm BrAmBurger

STaff wRITER

The shoe was on the other foot Tuesday as a body formed to dole out grants within the community received one. The County Community Foundation received good news from Prince EdwardHastings MPP Todd Smith and Ontario Trillium Foundation regional granting committee member Wanda Slawinski that it would receive $49,200 over three years to help it maintain an executive director and an office presence in Picton. Slawinski said she was familiar with community foundations in Napanee and Kingston prior to seeing the County Community Foundation’s application and she said she had no doubts it would become beneficial to the county. “I watched both foundations grow from an asset point of view and a granting point of view and I know that a dollar that you put in keeps giving and giving and giving,” she said. “I congratulate all of you who were instrumental in bringing this to Prince Edward County and I look forward to watching it grow.” At the ceremonial announcement, the foundation had invited its initial and current board members, major investors Lanny and Catharine Huff, the recipients of its first round of community grants last year, Mayor Peter Mertens and the members of council who supported the venture. The foundation’s executive director Bridget Stevenson said the presence of all of those people made the announcement that much more meaningful for her and all involved. “We wouldn’t be here today if not for all of your support,” she said. “This shows the full circle of what the foundation really does — it’s really neat to see that full

circle represented in the same room.” Smith said he noticed the people represented came from a wide range of groups with geographic representation across the county. “This is a great foundation, a relatively new foundation in Prince Edward County but it's interesting when you see all the people here who are representing the various communities in the county how wide-reaching the work that happens here is,” he said. Smith said he hoped the grant, which was recommended by a committee of 14 people stretching from the Quinte Region to the Ottawa Valley, would serve as encouragement for all the people supported by the foundation to keep up their work in the community. Thus far, the foundation’s community fund has granted $18,000 to nine charities and its directors are hoping that number will grow in the second year. Those organizations that benefitted all submitted projects which fit with the foundation’s wishes that they provide educational opportunities for members of the community. They included the Recreation Outreach Centre, Storehouse Foodbank, the Prince Edward County Arts Council’s Milkweed Collective and Written Word Committee,, the Ameliasburgh Town Hall Working Group, Reaching For Rainbows, the Edith Fox

Life and Loss Centre, and the Hastings and Prince Edward Land Trust. The foundation also oversees several dedicated bursaries and funds, including the Willi Fida Culinary Bursary, the Macdonald Project, the County Built Heritage Fund, the Guenther Wetzel Trades Bursary, the Festival Players Fund, and the Bloomfield Centre For Creativity. Chair Joan Pennefather said the Trillium grant was absolutely essential in providing long-term stability for the foundation. We're well under way but it's really crucial at this particular point and in the future years that we maintain it,” she said. “The Trillium grant we're announcing today is an essential support to our administrative structure, ensuring we are providing the information and services to this community that a community foundation can provide. We can continue our momentum and keep the generosity of donors in this community flowing back into this community.” Pennefather said at present, campaigns to boost the foundation’s funds are going well and announced the foundation has been promised several endowments in the future, which would offer millions of dollars in value. The Trillium Foundation, an arm’s length branch of the Ontario government is dedicated to building healthy, vibrant communities. It hands out $120 million to organizations across the province annually.

PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY

Looking back in the

Picton Gazette 80 years ago — 1932

■ Belleville’s Dominion Entomological Laboratory planned to release millions of parasites to prey upon corn borers impacting upon county crops. The work in the county was to be a model for other jurisdictions in Ontario. ■ It was a banner time for carp hauls as more than 3,000 pounds of the fish was trucked out of the Pt. Traverse fishery in one day. As a result, prices plummeted compared to those being commanded by fishermen just weeks earlier. ■ Morley Bongard was sentenced in Picton court to serve six months at the Ontario Reformatory in Guelph for selling home-made wine. Liquor laws at the time permitted people to make wine at home for their own personal use, but they were required to sell any wine for public consumption through liquor stores.

50 years ago — 1962

■ During a special anniversary service at the old St. Mary Magdalene Church, Rev. Robert DeBlois Wright called on council to acknowledge the debt owed to original pastor Rev. Wm. Macaulay by declaring the1823 church a historic site and petition the Ontario Historic Sites Commission to erect a plaque in his honour at the site. ■ Murray Sedore, 10, of Point Anne drowned at Outlet Beach after wandering off from a family picnic. He was spotted 25 feet from shore in shallow water, but was thought to have taken ill after wading in. He was spotted by Ronald Hull, the brother of NHL legend Bobby Hull, who waded out to find him. Park staff tried to resuscitate the boy, but were unable to save him from drowning. ■ The school in Albury was named after teacher Mildred Corke, who taught in the community for 43 years, upon her retirement from the profession.

30 years ago — 1982

■ Residents living near the Big Swamp on County Rd. 4 said that far too often, their road was the site of automobile accidents. Some residents said it was fortunate no one had been killed at the site and they called on the County to alter the design of the curve near the swamp. They also spoke out against plans for a dump near the curve. ■ While Canada’s Minister Of Trade Ed Lumley addressed local Liberals at their annual meeting, about 20 striking Bata shoe workers showed up to demonstrate against import shoes, which they said claimed more than 50 per cent of the domestic footwear market. ■ Athol Township passed a bylaw restricting the running at large of all dogs and requiring dogs to be registered.

10 years ago — 2002

■ Hastings and Prince Edward Counties Board of Health chair Debbie Ruston stood by the organization’s proposed 27.4per-cent budget increase saying that if councillors didn’t like the decision, they could replace her at the helm. She said while the health unit budget increase was the highest in eastern Ontario, it had previously gone 10 years without an increase. ■ Mayor James Taylor said that while there appeared to be plenty of turmoil amongst council members with public attacks and squabbles, he didn’t believe their actions were effecting the municipality’s operations in any way.

Nature can be even be found along ATV trails

The butterfly we were now staring at, was radiant in its orange backing, and accented with a rich tapestry of black fringes. We stared at it in wonderment as it contrasted sharply against the pure white of the daisy blossom. This was a pearl crescent butterfly, and our photographer who accompanies us on our guided hikes captured the mood of the moment admirably. This was a male, judging from the large black knobs that overwhelmed its antennae. We had just emerged from Whip-poor-will Farm, the name given to the property by its owners, legendary naturalists John and Janet Foster. These renowned film makers had just taken us on a tour of their large property near Madoc, and we were now on our way to Drag Lake, an oasis of sorts along the Trans Canada Trail. It was a large group, over 30 strong, and a challenge to keep that many together. At one point, we strung out like a long freight train as we made our way along this popular shared use trail. As always during hikes on long, straight stretches, there were a few marathoners, and no amount of coaxing could slow them down. Regrettably, they saw little and heard nothing from the three hike leaders we had with us. We wondered why they paid to be here, but were reluctant to be part of the experience. For those who wanted, there was nature to be seen along this well-travelled route. Most found it, and shared the experience with others around them. The photographers captured stunning images of crab spiders, wildflowers, tadpoles,

OUTDOOR RAMBLES TERRY SPRAGUE

frogs, minute insects and abstract images. Dragonflies like the twelve-spotted, chalk-fronted corporal, widow skimmers, and the delicate calico pennant. Along the way, several large growths of purple flowering raspberry, one ambitious growth spilling out of a clump of basswoods. Many stopped to stare in awe at the rich clusters of orange hawkweed and a Virginia Ctenucha moth on a bladder campion. These memories were all saved digitally by the photographers who were there and observant enough to notice. A keen set of eyes spotted a dark object moving on down the trail in the opposite direction from where we were going. Too far away for even our binoculars or the telephoto lens on our cameras to pull in. Wagers were placed as to whether it was a wild turkey dusting itself or a snapping turtle laying eggs. We all agreed there was too much movement to suggest a lumbering turtle, so we all agreed on a bird, but

what? In the end, it was a handful of curious who just had to find out, and came back with news of a ruffed grouse having a dust bath. A welcomed picnic and rest area, thoughtfully placed here by the Eastern Ontario Trails Alliance almost a decade ago, marked the end of our two kilometre trek along the trail from the back end of the Foster property. Also known as Palmateer Lake, the location is in memory of two avid snowmobilers. Erin Palmateer, tragically died in a farm related accident shortly after she had been on hand to open the trail in 1995. Also remembered, a cousin, young Christoper Palmateer, also an avid snowmobiler. The flower beds, picnic area and benches are wonderfully dedicated in plaques to their memory. It was here where we ate our lunch and listened as a distant loon yodelled across the lake. And it was here where sandwiches were seized only between appearances of dragonflies hovering like helicopters over the water, then tipping up and darting away only to repeat the performance in another spot. Were they snatching mosquitoes, we wondered? The mysteries of nature were shared among us that day as we talked about scarlet tanagers we had heard earlier, and the identity of wildflowers we had seen as our aging memories struggled to remember names. It is difficult being a hike leader as we need to remember so many things, but it helps when a plant enthusiast or a dragonfly expert is along to free up the seized

cogs. One plant name, cypress purge, came to me only after I overheard it mentioned by one of the participants. It’s an alien and loves roadside habitat. As a popular ATV and hiking trail, the habitat where we found it would qualify nicely. We found others that day too, the names of which came easily – ox-eye daisy, the leaves of which I nibbled on to stave off hunger before we stopped for lunch; orange hawkweed, a common plant in these parts but less so in the immediate Quinte area; and early meadow rue, a name that continues to elude me for some reason until I am well into the season and repeat its name weekly on guided hikes. The ATVers who passed us, as usual, were courteous, but we wondered how inhaling a wake of acrid dust all day could be more rewarding than our day. Still, they were out enjoying the outdoors, in their own way, and that has to be positive, while others transfix themselves to gaming consuls and television screens in beautiful weather. We need to do more to get these people outside, like we were that day, enjoying the outdoors by whatever means. For some, it was the thrill of the ride, for us it was the excitement of finding new things. nature deficit disorder is far too common a malady these days.

Scam artist bilks 79-year-old Picton resident out of $1,200 over the phone

A Picton resident was scammed over the phone to the tune of $1,200, the Prince Edward OPP says. According to a police release, the 79-year-old victim picked up the phone to hear that her grandson was in jail in Quebec after being

involved in a drunk-driving accident. The male on the other end of the line claimed he needed money wired through Western Union to help him get out of jail and to pay the other party for his injuries in the crash. After the victim wired the

suspect the cash, she began to become suspicious, but discovered there was no way to trace or recover her money. She called the OPP, but they were unable to assist. The OPP is reminding residents to be wary of such calls and if a caller does appear to

be suspicious, hang up and call the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501 to report the calls. The centre also has more information on its web site at www.antifraudcentre.ca. -Staff

War of 1812 made the development of Canada a possibility

ON Sunday, many Canadians will celebrate their national identity by taking in some fireworks, firing up the grill, or paying homage to this country’s national winter sport in the heat of summer while watching their favourite hockey teams use American money to sign millionaire stars. On Monday, most will enjoy an extra day away from work. All the while, we’ll be celebrating the date when this country allegedly came to be, through a declaration passed by British politicians. Perhaps, this year, however they will be able to look back 52 years farther and see the events which made the creation of the Canadian state possible. Some 200 years ago, with the Americans hungry for territory and loathsome of British imperialism, war broke out with the Americans looking to gather territory in what was seen as vulnerable territory in Upper and Lower Canada as well as the important shipping channels along the Great Lakes. Ultimately Loyalists fought off the advances and reaffirmed their desire to remain under the British Crown at that time, while also building their own sort of nationhood in the absence of the American nation developing to the south. Without the ability of the Loyalists, First Nation fighters on their side, and the British military, none of the steps toward Confederation as Canadians know it would have materialized. It’s uncertain whether present-day Ontario would have become American territory if not for their efforts, but surely, the Canada that has developed could have been forever altered. Many argue throughout history which events made this country a nation — some say it happened right at Confederation, some say the battles of Vimy Ridge and Normandy, fought on foreign shores pulled people together, some point to Pierre Trudeau and the repatriation of our constitution, and others point to athletic achievements like Paul Henderson’s goal in 1972 or the Vancouver Olympics as moments which defined the Canadian identity. Others may say that there still isn’t one homogenous Canadian nation, and that in itself is what makes this country distinct. There still is no concrete answer, though many Canadians — whether they are historical scholars or not — do gravitate to the us and them theory that Canadians are not Americans, and ultimately, that started with United Empire Loyalists and was defined during the War of 1812. Again, without that period in history, none of those events take place. Here in Prince Edward County, we’re extremely lucky to be so close to the Great Lakes and to many of the battlegrounds that would define that war and determine the maps that stand today. Perhaps this Sunday and on through the summer, while re-enactments and ceremonies capturing the spirit of that war are taking place, patriotic Canadians could get out to these sites marked by ghostly legends to discover where we came from and to ponder where we’re going as a nation for the next 200 years.

CONCRETE SUPPORT FOR CEMETERY The Picton Gazette THURSDAY, JUNE 28, 2012

Concert, teen art show, book clubs part of summer fun at library

For the 10th year in a row, the County of Prince Edward Public Library & Archives is inviting teen artists to display their artwork at the library. Any theme, any medium, and any style of art is welcome. Judged this year by professional photographer Marc Polidoro, the show is an opportunity for young artists to share their work with the community and win prizes. The Liam Garrett Memorial Teen Art Show will be exhibited in the Picton branch throughout July and August. Contact Liz Zylstra at youth@peclibrary.org or call 613-4765962 for more information. Art can simply be dropped off to any branch of the library as well. For the younger set, the library is presenting the award-winning Jake Differ to kick off the “Imagine” themed summer reading club program. The concert is this Saturday, June 30 at 11 a.m. at the Regent Theatre and is free. Like a finely written children’s book, Differ’s music is composed with children in mind, but the music and songs will appeal to parents, grandparents and all who are young at heart too. Differ’s lyrics make children imagine and laugh, and his rhythms make feet dance. His Ziggy Zaggy Road CD won a Parents’ Choice Recommended Award, while his debut CD Take a Little Ride with Me won a Parents’ Choice Gold Award, and his Happy all the Time recording earned a Juno Nomination for “2006 Children’s Album of the Year” as well as another Parents’ Choice Award. The singer/songwriter’s work is also included on compilations with such well-known children’s artists as Fred Penner, Jack Grunsky and Sharon Lois and Bram. With lively, funny and engaging live performances, Differ has become a popular favourite at festivals and events across Canada from Vancouver to Halifax, including the Toronto Street Festival, and the Burlington Children’s Festival. He has entertained 100,000 people at t annual “Day Out With Thomas” events. His con-

cert at the Regent Theatre this Saturday morning will undoubtedly be a popular one as well. Doors open at 10:30 a.m. Moving back to books, young readers ages 11 to 14 can meet other book lovers and make new friends this summer at the youth summer book club starting Tuesday, July 3 at 5 p.m. in the Teen Room of the Picton Branch. Members will meet every other Tuesday until Aug. 28. The first meeting's theme will be the Circus, followed by Travelling Through Time, Animals and, lastly, Artists, following the Summer Reading Program themes. “While the suggested ages are 11 to 14,” says the group’s facilitator Whitney Lee, “we’re flexible in accommodating anyone who is interested.” For more information, contact Whitney at wlee@peclibrary.org or call 613-476-5962. “The library truly has an exceptional line-up of events and activities this summer,” says Library CEO Barbara Sweet, “with events that will appeal to children, youth and adults. We are pleased to be able to offer all of the children’s events for free and most adult events as well, with the exception of a few which are fundraisers for the library.” Donation jars are always available at events as well. For a full list of programs and events, drop by any branch or visit the library’s online events calendar at peclibrary.org, contact crenaud@ peclibrary.org or call 613-4765962.

Blood donors give generously at Picton clinic Monday

At final count this Monday, some 164 donors gave 148 units of blood at the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Auxiliary donor clinic Monday. Auxiliary members partnered with Canadian Blood Services to host the regular clinic at the Prince Edward Community Centre hall. Convener Joan Pasila indicated the dona-

tions were a great display of caring by local residents as the busy summer months approach. The next local blood donor clinic will be held at the community centre Aug. 27. To book an appointment in advance, please visit the web site www.blood.ca or call 1-888-2-DONATE.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Anti-wind rhetoric clouds truth about turbines

“A lie, if said loud and often enough is soon taken to be true.”I thought of these words when I heard my neighbor say he was concerned about getting cancer when the wind energy projects are installed in South Marysburgh. It seems the anti wind propaganda has been successful in pumping up the ‘fear level’ in this individual. The anti-wind proponents have been loud and consistent with their message, even though they have no proof to substantiate their statements. In fact, government authorities around the world have

been consistent in “their assertion that wind energy is safe and effective”. Courts and tribunals have consistently rejected the anti-wind lobby claims. Many people unfortunately are taking the antiwind propaganda as true. Recently, a co-worker said she was for wind but did not want a tower close to her because she would hear the “whoosh” from the blades. I asked her if she had ever stood beside a large wind turbine and she replied no. I then pointed out that if her house was 500 meters away from a large wind turbine she

would not hear it because the noise from even a single tree would be louder than the “whoosh”. I recognize that it is difficult and time consuming for the average resident to find out the facts about large wind turbines. It is even more difficult when false information is indiscriminately placed on billboards along our roadways. Freedom of speech aside, not everything you read is true. The anti-wind lobbyists are using any tactic to promote their desire not to have large wind turbines in their backyard. The anti-

wind propaganda uses fear to pump up the stress levels in individuals not conversant with the facts.Their supporters are even from the urban centers 25 kilometers away, or greater, who will not even be able to see these towers. I support freedom of speech, but the anti-wind lobbyists are managing to obfuscate the real issues, which are green, clean affordable energy, sustainability, productive land use, job creation, and economic diversity. Mike Platt South Bay

Governments must look after the good of the state

Given Brian Flack’s belief that working within the democratic system and employing peaceful protest is useless, perhaps he would enlighten us as to the changes he would like to see in our political process to achieve change without violence, or is he advocating for violent revolution? Flack believes that “... only a smattering of them (voters) cast votes that really count.” Surely, Mr. Flack, all votes count or in your democracy will only those votes which

meet with your approval have validity and those that are cast against your view point can be ignored. It may be that our elected governments do pay attention to the wishes of the majority of the wishes of the people, even though they are not the wishes of . Flack! The protests in Quebec were over the Government’s decision to increase tuition fees, an increase supported by the majority of Quebec voters. The ongoing protest are not an exercise in demo-

cratic protest but rather an attempt to over throw a democratically elected government and, according to many of the protesters, the capitalist system. The desired alternative is for free tertiary education and eventually a socialist state. The populist governments in Europe certainly meet the wishes of their electorates with retirement at 60 or earlier, free education at colleges and universities, a minimum of 6 weeks paid vacation, a 35 hour (or less)

work week and an inefficient, bloated and growing public sector. Unfortunately all of these goodies were paid for with debt or other people’s money and eventually the lenders became tired of supporting such a life style with little prospect of repayment and the good times ended. There are times when governments is right to ignore the wishes of the voters for the good of the state. Peter Hilton Demorestville

Omnibus bills show our political system isn’t working

What has our democratic system come to when both federal and provincial governments ram through legislation in their omnibus budget bills? It seems that if a law is not convenient for the government of the day (and their corporate allies/interests), it is now considered acceptable to eliminate that piece of legislation without all elected representatives having sufficient time and resources to research and debate the

issue. Surely this smacks of dictatorial modes of governing. Laws are put in place to protect both our environment and us. They must be respected by the government of the day. When will Canadian citizens stand up and defend the basis of civilized society – due democratic process? I am shocked and distressed to see this ‘eliminate any inconvenient legislation’ technique being applied by both ‘Conserva-

tives’ (not progressive) and Liberals, and at two levels of government. It makes me embarrassed to be a Canadian, and even more distrustful of our governing system. Who is really in charge of our country? Would we not function more fairly and effectively if we followed the lead of virtually the entire world (other than North America) and devised a made-in-Canada fair voting system? Can hundreds of countries be so

wrong in the way they elect their governments? How can we regain a government by and for the people, with consideration and protection for the environment that our children and grandchildren will inherit? We must speak up for the land, water, air and all species that cannot speak for themselves. Molly Mulloy Mountain View

BIA guide puts spotlight on town’s history Visitors’ guide celebrates town’s 170th anniversary AdAm BrAmBurger

Staff writer

Picton turns 175 this year and the BIA is hoping to spread the word down Main Street and throughout the electronic world. In the annual Picton’s Guide to Shops & Services, the BIA has tried to share some of the town’s history through the years. Those who pick up one of the 8,500 copies printed or click through to the guide online could learn about how Picton’s first business was said to be the first pharmacy established in Canada, how soon Picton received the telephone, and how the harbour changed business for the better. “ Through the guide, you'll see the theme which recognizes that our community and our business com-

munity has continued to exist for a period of 175 years. I am amazed by that,” said Picton BIA executive director Roni Summers Wickens. Once again, the guide features photos and artwork from local contributors, including photographer Phil Norton, who said he was quite pleased with the way the third edition was put together this year. “Apart from my own photographs, I am really impressed with the old stuff. This is great with the old and the new. I happen to be a fan of old photography, I can stare at old pictures endlessly,” he said. That idea to promote Picton's heritage and longstanding tradition is an excellent way to promote the town.” Students Tristan Treasure and Lindsay Karpenko also provided articles on the town’s history. The guide also features a new map of the features of downtown Picton and the industrial park as drawn by illustrator Tim Snyder. The

map will also be featured on BIA kiosks downtown. “One of the things we've heard from people who come to our community is that while there are maps of Prince Edward County, they need a real map they can see that gets them to places they want to go to,” said Summers Wickens. “The visitors from Merrickville told us most impressed by fact we had a dog park and a youth park and they had a way to learn about that through these guides.” Of course, one of the best features of the books, designed entirely in-house with Norm Markland taking the lead with Summers Wickens and Lyndsay Richmond and printed by K.A. Media, is one that couldn’t be imagined 175 years ago and that’s the searchable online pages at the BIA’s www. experiencepicton.com site. “Many people plan their vacations these days via the web,” said Summers Wickens. “We know for a fact our businesses have attracted new customers through this guide.”

Picton Canada Day organizers looking to pass leadership for celebration BIA, recreation committee and partners plan plenty of events this weekend adam BramBurger

Staff writer

If this is the final year for the Picton Canada Day celebration under its present leadership, those involved are looking to go out with a big bang. Hopefully, it will inspire someone. Within the past month, the Picton BIA, the co-ordinators of the daytime events since 2006 have let it be known they'd like to see another party take on the leadership for the event. "Historically, Canada Day has not been economically viable for our membership. We're not an events

organizing body and our board of management is trying to move away from that," the BIA's membership services co-ordinator Lyndsay Richmond told the Gazette. "We need to focus on other areas to serve our membership. We plan to step back next year." Richmond said the BIA has been fortunate to have the support of a number of groups like the Picton Pirates, Quinte Dolphins, Picton Martial Arts and Fitness, and many churches and community groups involved but someone co-ordinating the event would be a benefit.

Picton councillor and recreation committee member Bev Campbell said with all the demands on the business community, she can see the crunch. She added that while the recreation committee would like to continue on with the evening show, it is also becoming a difficult venture. "The issue has been on the fundraising side. Fireworks are not cheap," she said. Campbell said last year federal heritage funding came in at the last minute and this year, it is unknown if that grant will come through. Fortunately, she said, Prinzen Ford and

Picton Home Hardware jumped on board to sponsor the show or it would be difficult to make it happen. "In the long run, we really will need someone to help with fundraising or to find an organizing committee. Fundraising is not what the committee sees as its role," Campbell said. She indicated it is certainly not on her wish list to see the fireworks or any part of the Delhi Park show come to an end, but there may need to be some new vision for sustaining it. Individuals or groups within the community interested in being a part of the solution going forward are invited to contact the BIA at 476-7901 ext. 212 for details. All that said, it is still Canada's birthday this Sunday and the show will go on — a show BIA executive director Roni Summers Wickens has indicated "may be the largest we've seen yet." The fun begins on Saturday with a Kiwanis Club breakfast at the Masonic Hall on the Loyalist Parkway from 8 a.m. to noon, followed by the Legion's annual lawn party with a barbecue, beer tent, and music by the ever-popular band The Reasons. With Canada Day being on a Sunday for the first time in recent memory, there will be a non-denominational church service in Delhi Park at 10:30 a.m.

Volunteers from the local churches, led by First Baptist, will remain in the park throughout the day to host a kids' carnival with games, rides, food, music and prizes. Downtown, Richmond said many businesses will be staging sidewalk sales and an artisan market will take place in the Royal Walkway. Buskers will roam the streets, the Pirates will offer snocones and cotton candy, the Dolphins lemonade, and Picton Martial Arts will stage demonstrations. Again this year, Elizabeth Street will be a focal point Richmond said Come Alive Outside has come on board with a play zone, which will see a large portion of the street sodded. Children's activities and photos will also take place there. The popular dog parade will start from Benson Park at 1 p.m. with judging on Main Street at 1:30. Robyn's

Nest will also offer Canada Day pet photos. Campbell said the evening show, which starts at 7 p.m. on the Delhi Hill off the Mary Street parking lot at the foot of Elizabeth Street will feature greetings from Mayor Peter Mertens and a rendition of the national anthem led by Amy Rutherford. Birthday cake, provided by the Pastry House will be available for all. A Rising Star show will carry the evening into fireworks. "One of the elements that is starting to emerge and become quite popular is that involvement of the Rising Star group," said Campbell. She indicated this year there will be a show, rather than contest, but there will still be plenty of young talent. Again, the Pirates will offer food and the Dolphins glow products for sale. If the weather does not co-operate, fireworks will take place July 2.

County surveys residents about their customer service expectations of municipality Council puts development of strategy for working with the public high on its list of priorities within the upcoming year Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

The municipality is calling for residents to put forward their ideas to help guide the creation of a new customer service strategy. Until July 13 the County is requesting public input that will help the creation of the strategy that is expected to be implemented across the corporation next year. A release distributed by the County last week says the strategy “will help shape the future of the county and contribute to the creation of a streamlined and sustainable municipality with effective customer service delivery” The municipality is asking for that public input to come

in the form of an online survey where residents will be asked to evaluate existing customer service as well as identify areas where customer service can be improved. The survey can be found online at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/PEC2012 and hard copies of the survey are available at the lobbies of the Edward Building, Shire Hall and all county libraries. Online and hard copies must be submitted to the clerk's office by July 13. The release says the customer service survey will also take a look at existing municipal communications practices in order to get a good understanding of how the public receives its information about

County services. “This information will help refresh County communications protocol to ensure the most effective communications channels are being used to keep county residents and visitors informed about available services, service changes or interruptions, special events, and municipal emergencies,” the release says. County chief administrative officer Merlin Dewing said evaluating and improving internal and external communications and customer service is an important part of the corporate realignment process. “Understanding our customers' service delivery needs is essential to identify where

improvements can and should be made,” Dewing said in the release. “The information gathered through this survey will help us evaluate and improve the customer service we are offering while supporting our goal of meeting the service needs of our ratepayers, residents and guests in a positive and proactive manner.” The survey uses a scale from “very unsatisfied” to “very satisfied” to rate residents' satisfaction with the customer service received when contacting various county services. The survey also features several open ended questions such as “Where would you say our greatest strengths are in customer service?” and “If the

Emily Tubbs takes on communications/customer service role County hire to develop strategy Chad Ibbotson

As the municipality ramps up efforts to improve customer service, a recent hiring is looking to facilitate those changes both internally and externally. Hired in April as the municipality's new communications and customer service officer, Emily Tubbs has been working to improve customer service and internal communications. Although the corporate realignment process is expected to improve customer service, Mayor Peter Mertens said it is still something that needed to be looked at as a separate project and it was necessary to hire someone who could focus on that. “Creating a new organization doesn't create brand new and enhanced customer

service on it's own,” he said. “It's part and parcel of the overall strategy. One is working on the restructuring and the organizational review and a component of that is the service component.” Mertens said in the past the municipality didn't have a person who could focus on communications and customer service and that needed to be improved. “We believe it needed a much clearer focus and the communication piece is a huge part of that,” he said. “How we communicate with our constituents, how we get information out — whether it's a press release or information on something that's changing — that needed to undergo a whole review.” Mertens said Tubbs will play a role in the development of the new customer service strategy. He said ultimately the municipality's objective is to make sure the services it provides are effec-

tive and of a high standard and that questions are dealt with quickly by knowledgeable staff. The County has already taken the first step in setting up an online survey for public input in order to evaluate the existing public perception of customer service. The next step will involve identifying areas for improvement and areas where the municipality is already excelling. With a background in engagement and communications, Tubbs will coordinate the effort and will gather information from employees. Tubbs had been previously working with the South East Local Health Integration Network and she also previously worked in the County’s economic development office. It is not yet known how or in what ways internal and external communications will be improved, but the information gathered through initiatives like the online sur-

vey is expected to guide the changes. In the next few months the municipality will look to make sure residents know when, where, and who is offering services within the organization.

County could make one change to improve customer service, what would it be?” Mayor Peter Mertens said improving customer service is a priority for 2012-2013. “While we are proud of the services the County provides, we are striving to demonstrate value for every dollar. This survey will solicit

valuable public input to identify where improvements are needed to show that value to our customers,” Mertens said in the release. “I strongly encourage citizens to complete this survey to provide the corporation with the information required to make meaningful changes to how our services are delivered.”

Bloomfield cycling advocate applauds provincial safety recommendations

Jason Parks

Staff writer

A cycling leader in Prince Edward County is pleased with recent recommendations made concerning the sport in Ontario. Ontario's Chief Coroner, Dr. Andrew McCallum, released the Office of the Chief Coroner's Cycling Death Review earlier this month. This provincial review was undertaken as a result of con-

cern, both from the public and within the Office of the Chief Coroner, surrounding the issue of cycling safety. The review examined the circumstances of 129 deaths involving cyclists that occurred from Jan. 1, 2006 to Dec. 31, 2010 and the findings include 14 recommendations that target infrastructure, education, legislation and enforcement. Owner of The Bloomfield Bicycle Company, kt Misener, said she was happy with report and that there are a few key points that will enhance the safety of those peddling in Prince Edward County. “The thing is I'm most pleased to see is a recom-

be reflected in the Ontario driver’s handbook, beginning driver education curricula and the driver’s licence examination process. Another set of recommendations Misener was happy to see addressed are paved shoulders and other cycling enhancements. The review calls on the Ministry of Transportation and the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing to take a “complete streets” approach that will guide the redevelopment of existing communities and the creation of new communities throughout Ontario. An approach would require development or redevelopment give

mendation for the Ministry of Transportation to legislate the three-foot passing law, this will make it easier for the police to prosecute in accidents, because right now, there is no real rule in terms of passing,” Misener said. Currently, motorists in Ontario are expected to provide “reasonable room” to cyclists when passing, a set of terms that is up for debate when an accident occurs. According to the review, it's recommended Ontario's Highway Traffic Act should be amended to include “a one meter / three-foot passing rule for vehicles when passing cyclists” and the change in legislation should

cycling in Ontario, and would guide the development of policy, legislation and regulations and commitment of necessary infrastructure funding pertaining to cycling in Ontario. Finally, when it comes to infrastructure, the review wants the the MTO to identify the development of paved shoulders on provincial highways as a high priority initiative. “It's great to see this report and all these recommendations, but, for a lot of these, it's up to the municipality who decides how to spend this money,” she said, adding Prince Edward County has done better then most other rural municipalities in Ontario. She admitted that she and BBC co-founder Rick Willing have been known for being vociferous for how little the municipality has done for cyclists. “But when you look at comparisons with other communities the same size of Prince Edward County, they've done a lot here in the last few years. They've paved some shoulders on high-use roads, there's places to lock bikes in Picton and an understanding that cyclists are here and using the roadway.” While decision by those in political power have benefitted cyclists, decisions by those in power of a passing motor vehicle have not. A member of the review panel, Elanor McMahon, CEO of the Share the Road Cycling Coalition said in the days after the review was published that cyclists and motorists needed to share the road and be tolerant of one another. Misener agrees that there definitely an air of us-versus-them on the roadways most of the time. “I think there is very much an idea that cyclists are in the way, but not only cyclists but pedestrians, people in wheelchairs, rollerbladers, horses and tractors. There's this attitude that they are all in the way,” she said. “Prince Edward County doesn't have the financial where-with-all to build more roads for all the different users so what we all need to do is understand that the road is here to use for all of us and be tolerant of one another.” Other recommendations include: ■ The Highway Traffic Act should be amended to make helmets mandatory for cyclists of all ages in Ontario. ■ A comprehensive public education program should be developed to promote safer sharing of the road by all users. ■ A requirement that important bicycle safety information (such as rules of the road and helmet information) be provided to purchasers of any new or used bicycle. ■ Cycling and road safety education should be incorporated into the public school curriculum. ■ Side-guards should be made mandatory for heavy trucks in Canada. ■ Municipalities and police services (municipal/regional/provincial) should review local data related to cycling injuries and fatalities in order to identify and address opportunities for targeted education, public safety interventions and enforcement activities.

QHC 2011/12 Highlights

The QHC Board of Directors led a strategic planning process driven by extensive engagement with our staff, physicians, volunteers, community Advisory Council and health care partners. The goal was to determine how QHC, with our four hospitals, can best serve the needs of each local community, in addition to the more specialized health care needs across the region. The health care sector will continue to evolve, as described in Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Action Plan for Health Care. All providers will need to create even greater focus on ensuring patients are receiving high-quality, evidence based care in the most appropriate setting for their needs. We will need to find more efficient ways of providing services and ensure we are maximizing every available resource. QHC is now in an excellent position to respond to these health care system changes. We continue to have a balanced budget. Our new strategic plan provides a solid foundation for each decision we need to make and we have an excellent team that will continue to enhance the quality and safety of care, with the support of our local communities. All of this progress was only possible with the remarkable dedication and hard work of our staff, physicians, volunteers, foundations and other partners. Together we have created a strong health care team that is dedicated to providing exceptional care, inspired by you.

Redevelopment Update QHC, the Prince Edward Family Health Team and community health partners continued their KPJOU QMBOOJOH JO UP TVCNJU B QSPQPTBM to the Ministry of Health to build a new hospital and health care centre in Picton. Their vision is a facility where patients can walk through one door and have seamless access to a wide range of services from a variety of health care providers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; family physicians, outpatient clinics, an emergency room, inpatient beds and community support services. All located together, but also providing a more efficient system that wraps the care around the patient. The business case will be submitted in 2012 and, if approved, will be placed in the queue of IPTQJUBM SFEFWFMPQNFOU QSPKFDUT JO 0OUBSJP

t QHC launched its first annual Quality Improvement Plan to focus on specific areas where we knew we could provide even better patient care. We set tough goals with our patients in mind and then made progress on our quality and safety over the past year. t Through a corporate-wide falls reduction strategy, QHC decreased patient falls by 25% in 2010/11, with another small decrease measured in 2011/12. Patients are assessed for risk of falling when they are admitted and then appropriate measures are put in place to reduce the likelihood of a fall. t With funding from the Ministry of Health & Long-Term Care, QHC has implemented a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Process Improvement Programâ&#x20AC;? at all four hospitals. This province-wide program brings together the team of front-line care providers to find ways of reducing emergency room wait times and improving the way care is provided. t QHC significantly reduced the number of alternate level of care (ALC) patients waiting in the hospitals, thanks to significant efforts by staff, physicians and the CCAC. This has ensured more beds are available for patients who need hospital-based care and that patients are receiving care in the most appropriate setting for their needs. t /VSTFT QIZTJDJBOT BOE NJEXJWFT KPJOFE together to launch MOREOB (Managing Obstetrical Risk Effectively), a three year program that helps ensure patient safety is the number one priority and that the health care team is always striving to improve. t 5IBOLT UP UIF HFOFSPTJUZ PG MPDBM SFTJEFOUT and businesses, the Foundations that support QHC donated $2.8 million in 2011/12 for urgently needed medical equipment and SFEFWFMPQNFOU QSPKFDUT

Canada Day start of Wellington’s 150th events Society says commitment to safety strong AdAm BrAmBurger

Staff writer

Wellington has gained a reputation for its flag waving and Canadian patriotism, so it should come as no surprise the village's Canada Day celebration stretches over three days. What may come as a surprise, however, is the fact organizers will be encouraging residents to fly not just their country's flag but also another with pride starting July 1. "Wellington is about to turn 150 years old," said Canada Day organizer Bob Stock. "This July 1 marks the beginning of our 150-year celebration, which will be a year long leading up to next Canada Day. We'll raise the Wellington flag for the first time in the park." According to Paulette Greer of the SideStreet Gallery where the flag will be sold, the design features several elements symbolic to Wellington, including red lions based on the Duke of Wellington's supporters, fish tails honouring the commercial and recreational fishery in the area, a ducal crown referring to the Duke, a horse representing the village's pioneer history, and a cornucopia featuring local crops such as tomatoes and pea vines. Besides that ceremony, Stock said it will be pretty much business as usual along the Loyalist Parkway with many events following a tried and true format.

"It is very much the same with some new wrinkles," he said. "There is something for everyone." The weekend kicks off with the regular Wellington Legion Friday supper from 5-7 p.m. while Branch 160 will also be hosting its chicken barbecue on the Saturday from 1-5 p.m. Once again, the popular street dance takes place on Saturday night from 7:30 -11 p.m. Stock said Eddy and the Stingrays will return and since they're not a local group, most people really look forward to their entertainment once a year. The Wellington firefighters' Big Ka-Boom fireworks follow that night on the beach. On the nation's birthday itself, Sunday, activities kick off with a pancake breakfast at Town Hall from 8:30-10:30 with ongoing events including a bake sale and tea at St. Andrew's, museum tours and carriage rides, and a book sale at the library. The parade will muster out on Belleville road and begin at 10:30 a.m. sharp. Stock said this year there isn't an honourary marshall after Roy Bonisteel and the Central Canadian champion Wellington Dukes were obvious choices the past two years. Stock said tradition-

ally, the parade has been dedicated to honouring volunteerism in the community and this year, that will a major theme of the feature event. The flag-raising ceremony, visits from dignitaries, and live entertainment will take place in the park from noon to 3 p.m. The entertainment features local band The Fade Kings with their blend of blues, jazz, and classic rock, and Jamie Spurvey, voted the top adult rising country talent in a contest at last year's Havelock Jamboree. "The idea is to bring him here early so we can all say we saw him here way back when," said Stock. Mark Bass and the C.M.L. Snider School of Rock band will also perform. Meanwhile, there will be a food court with vendors in the park including the Rotary ribs from 11:30 - 2 p.m. and a full kids' fun zone with a wide range of new and returning favourites.

Children’s Aid stands behind investigation in Slatter case JAson pArks

Staff writer

A statement was issued by the Children's Aid Society of the County of Prince Edward last week in response to the withdrawal of sexual assault, sexual interference and sexual exploitation charges against Ronald Slatter, 63, of Bloomfield. The former foster parent was in Picton Provincial Court June 21 when crown attorney Adam Zegouras announced his office was withdrawing the charges because chances of a successful conviction against the accused would be “extremely low.” Slatter entered a peace bond with several conditions that must be maintained over the next 12 months. The statement issued by the local CAS office said “We have noted with interest the charges against for-

mer foster parent Ronald Slatter were withdrawn by the Crown Attorney.” It goes on to say “The allegations against Slatter came to light as a direct result of an operational review that the society was conducting alongside the Ministry of Children and Youth Services. The Society acted immediately to thoroughly investigate the allegations working closely with the police who ultimately decided to lay charges against Mr. Slatter. Although there were no children at the home at the time of the investigation, the home was closed to fostering.” There statement adds that “The community can have confidence that the Society is meeting the most rigorous standards when it comes to protecting children in our care” and “Our

commitment to protecting the safety and well being of children has never been stronger.” Outside the courthouse after the charges had been withdrawn, Slatter provided reporters information on the alleged incident. A foster parent for eight years, Slatter and his wife Linda had a 15-year-old girl in their home on Brick Street in 2009 and the supposed incident occurred at that time. “She claimed that I told her a dirty joke and that's what this is all about,” Slatter said. He also added that he was “too vocal” in his criticism of the CAS office in Prince Edward County and that his troubles started shortly after he called for an investigation into its operation.

Exultet Estates receives high praise from restaurateurs and critics alike

This week we are going to do something a bit different in choosing what winery we will visit ... we are going on a recommendation. A couple of weeks ago Delores and I were touring the county (has anyone ever see our little red Smart Car Convertible?) and decided to stop by the Milford Bistro for a glass of wine and something to eat. We saw our good friend and owner Chris Pengelly and he joined us for a glass of wine while thetapas was being prepared (his food could be the basis for another whole article!). Chris strives to serve as many county wines at the Bistro that he can and while he likes them all he asked if we had tried the Chardonnay from Exultet Estates. I told him I had stopped by a couple times but that no one had been at the winery. He explained that it was a small operation but this particular Chardonnay

decided on the spot that we had to jump in the car and head over to do a video tasting. As luck would have it on that day both Lia and Gerry Spinosa were there and we finally got to meet them. Exultet Estates Winery is family owned and operated and they are a small handson operation from vineyard to bottle. Their goal is to make the most elegant expression of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay that their land is capable of. To make a wine that says by its taste that it comes from their particular vineyards. Wine that exults! Exultet is a Latin word meaning "song of rejoicing". Joy and praise for wines that are transcendent and meaningful, emerging from darkness. Timeless and eternal, their wines areproducts of their unique terroir, not to be imitated. They are not blended, but pure and true expressions of Pinot noir and Chardonnay. Gerry and Lia are both of Italian heritage so wine is certainly part of their culture. Gerry has a science background and has always loved the art and

science behind winemaking. He has previously taken both viticulture and winemaking courses. What started off as a former hobby of his is now a passion and he has become an absolute perfectionist in making his wine! They are located in the most southern portion of Prince Edward County and are serious about their concerns regarding the environment and more importantly the people in it. That's why they have chosen to refit the former 1870s Royal Street Cheese Factory as their winery because there can be no greater minimizing of the carbon footprint than to recycle and reuse an existing building, built in the 1870s. This centuries old farm, formerly including a dairy operation, cheese factory, and apple orchard, has been resurrected to a new life, enriched with flowering grapevines and aging wines. This has allowed for minimal impact to the environment, while atthe same time preserving a piece of rich heritage. They planted their first vines in 2004 and they are nurtured on limestone rich

soils in view of Lake Ontario. The hand-tended and hand-picked fruit are grown with organic materials when possible and minimal chemical use. Soil, climate, and geography come together to produce identifiable wines, unique in quality and expression. Lia and Gerry have a unique philosophy on wine making. They believe that not all wines are equal. There is a difference, and some things are meant to be authentic. They say that our times no longer value â&#x20AC;&#x153;provenanceâ&#x20AC;?, where things come from. Industrial values have touched all facets of life, with products coming from everywhere, price alone being the determinant. They choose to go against the times. Wine, like all things, can always be made cheaper. The question they ask is can it be made better, or true to

itself. They want to make wine from their own vineyard in its irreproducible location, with soil and limestone and presence that can never be from somewhere else. All of their wines are crafted as pure expressions of the grape they come from, never blended. Exultet Estates has shown that a small family operation can craft award winning wines. Their twotime gold-winning Chardonnay is just an example of what the county has to offer and I would encourage anyone out and about "sippin in the county" to stop by Exultet and say hi to Lia and Gerry. And to try some great wine of course. -Joe Hache maintains an independent guide to local wineries at www.princeedwardcountywineries.com. Join him in the Gazette for a tour of county wineries.

AN EVENT WITH PULL

The second annual The County Pulls brought hundreds of people to the Loch Sloy Business Park on the Picton Heights last weekend for two full days of adrenaline with several classes of tractor pulls, truck pulls, lawn tractor pulls, and mud drag racing. Above, Henry Terpstra makes an attempt in the 6,500 farm stock category. At left, County Live’s Amber Putman pulls to win $1,000 for Prince Edward Hospice in the celebrity pull..Though she hadn’t operated a tractor before, she displayed confidence beating four other celebrities, an outcome she predicted because she’s “a county girl.” At right, is a rare glimpse of Tracey VanLoon stopped behind the wheel of Irrational Behaviour II, a car that made quick work of the mud drag track.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 You can have all the inspiration in the world, Aries, but without solid financial backing, your enterprise will not find its wings. Spend your energy finding investors. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 You are torn between two choices, Taurus. Family matters are on one side and work responsibilities are on the other. It may take a few days to work out a decision. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 It's difficult to contain all of your energy, Gemini, so instead you can choose to share some with others. Try tackling some other people's projects until your energy wanes. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Some people may view you as being selfish this week, Cancer, but you view your actions as putting yourself first for a change. Either way, it's a decidedly "you-centered" few days. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 While some people are revved up with energy, Leo, you will seem to be stuck in neutral this week. Don't fret too much about it unless you have deadlines you need to meet. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, these next few days you will want to do activities that put yourself first. Whether it's a date or simply alone time, enjoy it and stop neglecting your needs.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Vacations tend to bring the relaxed side out in a person, and it can be hard assimilating back into your regular routine. You, however, have no problem getting back into a groove. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Turning a hobby into something that makes money is an admirable goal, but it will take a little work, Scorpio. Don't give up too easily as it could take a few months to solidify. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you may be adept at finding an easy way around a difficult thing, but sometimes taking the harder road offers good life lessons along the way. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 When money issues arise, the only way to remedy them is to stop spending. This could involve taking a hard look at your lifestyle and what you may not be able to afford. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Everyone expects you to dole out the advice, Aquarius, but this week you will be looking for your own. It could be because you have been tackling so many projects lately. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 There are few things that escape your attention, Pisces. However, this week you will be blindsided by certain news.

39. Am. Heart Assoc. 40. Not good 41. Brew 48. NYC hockey team 51. Exclamation of pain 53. Cathode (abbr.) 54. Empty area between

LHIN seeks public feedback on plan

INFO FOR SENIORS

DEBBIE MACDONALD MOYNES

a/OurHealthPlan, where you can learn about the IHSP, then complete an online “workbook” that will capture and measure your opinions and priorities on the types of health services you feel are most important. Your opinions and priorities will then influence the final version of the plan. The LHIN provides assurances that “there will be no attempt – nor will it be possible – to identify individuals who share their input apart from their age, gender and the general part of this region in which they live.” The SE LHIN website states that “to prepare for that future, the SE LHIN must develop a three-year plan that meets the unique needs of its population in South East Ontario as well as reflects health care priorities for all of Ontario. This Integrated Health Services Plan will help

everyone get improved access to the right care at the right time in the right place. To create the right IHSP, however, the LHIN needs to hear from as broad a crosssection of residents across this region as possible. To do that, the LHIN wants to make it as simple and convenient as possible for people to register their opinions by using the IHSP web site.” You have until July 7 to go to this special website to have your say about healthcare. Check it out today at www.southeastlhin.on.ca /OurHealthPlan For more information on the South East LHIN see the main web site at www.southeastlhin.on.ca

FRIENDLY VISITING

Seniors who are isolated and need some encouragement and support, can find it through Prince Edward Community Care. A friendly volunteer will be matched with the senior for visits in the home. To sign up for this program, or refer someone, call Community Care at 613-476-7493.

HELP AROUND THE HOME

If seniors need help with chores at home, either inside or out, Prince Edward Community Care has carefully screened workers at reasonable rates. Help is available with gardening, lawn maintenance, light and heavy housework, meal preparation, and respite – both during the day and overnight. Please call the office for details at 613-476-7493.

According to the website of the South East Local Health Integration Network (SE LHIN), LHINs were created to make sure that important decisions about health care are made locally, by people who live in and understand the community. At the same time, LHINs have to make sure that services are delivered as effectively and efficiently as possible, so they will be affordable today and into the future. The Prince Edward County Community Care for Seniors Association receives approximately 65 per cent of our funding from the SE LHIN. The rest of the money comes from donations, client fees and fundraising. We are often at meetings when we hear LHIN staff making presentations. Two such meetings occurred this month and were attended by Community Care board members and staff. At both meetings, the CEO of the SE LHIN, Paul Huras, was encouraging the people assembled to participate in the LHIN’s development of a three-year health-care plan. The SE LHIN is seeking public reaction and input to the development of a healthcare plan and has launched a community engagement process to encourage residents to have their say in the development of a regionwide Integrated Health Services Plan (IHSP). Huras encourages all residents of the community to visit a specially designed, dedicated web site,www.southeastlhin.on.c

Organization provides time and money to hospital Huras says beds should stay AUXILIARY, from page 1

In addition to all she has offered throughout her time with the Auxiliary, Donaldson described Blakely as a booster, who is able to offer expertise and lift the spirits of younger volunteers. While Blakely helped found the shop, Rebecca McKellar has been one of the more active volunteers in keeping it going. This year, she was recognized for hitting 7,000 hours of service. In presenting McKellar with her award, past-president Sue Law noted that she spent several years running the shop and still actively volunteers there. "Rebecca is still working at the shop and she helps with many other things (for the Auxiliary) and many other things in the county," Law said. Donaldson added that McKellar is a bit of an energizer among the volunteers and "she never ever stops." She said it's clear the goodhumoured McKellar has a real love for what she does. Also receiving service awards for the years they put into volunteering: Evelyn Drew was recognized for 40 years; Mary Frederick and Mardie Small for 30 years; Betty Evans and Barbara Woodall for 25 years; Eleanor Doble and Barb Hobson or 15 years; and Eleanor O'Neill and Jean Plummer for 10 years.

special group Outgoing Auxiliary treasurer Charlie Vincent praised his colleagues for their dedication and sense of purpose upon receiving a certificate of appreciation last Thursday.. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

Receiving awards for their hour totals: Nancy Hicks passed the 5,000-hour mark last year; Mary Jane Daubney reached 4,000 hours; Joan Brown, Barb Gates, Joyce Minaker, and Law received 3,000 hours; Donaldson and Pam Green, 2,000 hours; and Ann Brown, Nancy Finnegan, Joan Pasila, and Pam Strachan, 1,000 hours each. The Auxiliary also handed out a pair of certificates of appreciation. The first went

She added it would be difficult to put a timetable on the issue as first, the SE LHIN would have to approve a plan that would allow for the licensing of replacement beds and, subsequently, construction of a new facility or redevelopment of an existing facility would need to occur. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will create some challenges for QHC for the next couple of years but we are going to want to make sure we are meeting the needs of the community during that time,â&#x20AC;? Egberts said. SE LHIN CEO Paul Huras attended the QHC annual general meeting that took place after the monthly meeting had adjourned and said the Community Care Access Centre was working very diligently with residents families during Picton Manor's shuttering process â&#x20AC;&#x153;and slowly but surely, they are moving residents on to other long term care facilities or some other setting.â&#x20AC;? Current Picton Manor residents have been flagged as 'crisis situation' individuals by the CCAC, meaning they are able to jump the wait lists at area long-term care facilities â&#x20AC;&#x153;In a situation that is not ideal, the absolute best is being done to manage it appropriately,â&#x20AC;? Huras said.

to Charlie Vincent, who will be leaving the Auxiliary board after serving for four years as treasurer. He will continue to work with the Festival of Trees. Donaldson said Vincent came in at a difficult time and did a good job keeping the books in order. In turn, he said he really gained an appreciation for all the good the Auxiliary does. "Nowhere have I worked with a group I'm prouder of than this group," said Vincent, who has also worked

with arts and church groups. "I don't know of a group that's more dedicated to its mission. Everybody has the same values, shares them and does them." Vincent said he enjoyed living vicariously through signing the cheques for various Auxiliary activities as he said each one represented beneficial things for the hospital. A second certificate went to Suzanne Pasternak, who organized a concert in memory of Zeke Mazurek last year, raising about $6,000 for an Auxiliary project, the renovation of the staff room at the hospital. The membership also learned Law would be receiving a life membership in the Hospital Auxiliaries Association of Ontario this November for her work in Picton and previously in Ottawa. Donaldson indicated that in addition to all the work Auxiliary members have done at the hospital, they also raised more than $300,000 in the past year. She added that while health care is changing and the role the Auxiliary may play will change, its members have shown that their resolve will not change. "The rest of the world is changing too, and there's no avoiding it," she said. "One of the things that doesn't change is our dedication and hard work and our commitment to our hospital."

When it comes to the 78 beds that were temporarily taken out of service, Huras said those beds need to stay in the SE LHIN area and stay in the Quinte region. Whether they could remain in Prince Edward County remains to be seen. Someone could build a 78-bed home, but in longterm care homes that are under 120 beds, there is a greater struggle financially,â&#x20AC;? Huras said. The region, according to Huras, currently has more beds than the provincial average when based on 75year-old people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are well bedded in Prince Edward County and it might be a hard argument to the Ministry of Health to get more beds beyond the 78,â&#x20AC;? said Huras. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So an operator has to ask himself 'Do I gamble with 78 beds and hope that I can get more down the road?' Or do a couple of people add on to existing redevelopments? Some facilities that have 100 beds could apply to get half those beds.

CEO says QHC up to the challenge Hospitals in good shape to deal with upcoming strain Jason parks

Staff writer

While there appears to be tough years ahead for the health-care sector in Ontario, Quinte Health Care (QHC) president and chief executive officer Mary Clare Egberts promised her group is up to the challenge to providing first-class care within its means. And while addressing shareholders, community partners and media members at Tuesday evening's QHC annual general meeting at CFB Trenton's Officer's Mess, Egberts said a newly redeveloped Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital was one of several ways QHC will reach its goal. Egberts predicted tough years ahead for Ontario's health-care sector as it grapples with both an aging and growing population and escalating costs of delivering services. Locally, these challenges might prove to be even greater than in other places in the province. In discussing the future of the hospital, Egberts spoke of the recent transformation of how healthcare dollars will flow from the Ministry of Health and Long-term Care. The health-based allocation model will continue to be rolled out over the next two years and the new formula will allow for funding to follow a patient as opposed to the previous model which was essen-

M. EGBErTs

tially global budgeting for Ontario's hospitals. “We had hoped that because this one of the oldest regions in Ontario, our funding would not decrease,” Egberts said. “Unfortunately our population is not growing, especially when compared to the high growth areas in Toronto.” As a result, the new formula saw QHC's 2012-2013 funding decrease by one per cent while base costs for the hospital went up two per cent. This lead to some aggressive changes, improvement plans and belt tightening by the hospital as it was able to submit a balanced budget this past spring. “We are up to the challenge,” Egberts said. In striving to balance its budget in the years ahead, Egberts said QHC will be more efficient in two ways. “One is a relentless focus on quality,” She said. “It's proven when a hospital focuses on quality of care, the

finances will improve. When a patient receives high quality care, they spend less time in the hospital and are less likely to be readmitted. “Medical errors, infection rates and patient falls will all be reduced. These are all quality issues that are not acceptable to our patients and drive up the cost of running our hospital,” she explained. The second way QHC will more efficient is by providing more seamless care with its healthcare partners. Its Strategic Plan calls for QHC to provide effective care transitions. “When we are successful, our patients and their families will find it easier to move throughout the system while getting the care they need. One way in which QHC will be able to do this locally is with the redevelopment of PECMH. The business plan that will soon be submitted to the Ministry of Health and Long term care calls for the new hospital to feature spaces for the Prince Edward Family Health Team and other community based healthcare providers. “The proposed model for the new PECMH is just one way we can address some of these challenges,” Egberts said. “We want to wrap the care around the patient by having many of the providers together and collaborating on one site.”

Music festival announces lineup for fall performances

Cyclist injured in Wellington A cyclist from Trenton received minor injuries and his bicycle was damaged in an altercation involving a motor vehicle Thursday. Police report three cyclists were travelling east on Wellington’s Main Street into the village when a driver exited the Wellington Dari Bar to head east into the village.

The driver’s movement caused the three cyclists to take evasive action to avoid being hit and ultimately, the 40-year-old victim fell. A 48-year-old Carrying Place man was charged with failing to share the roadway with a bicycle, a Highway Traffic Act offence. -Staff

New business owners have zest for the county New kitchen shop welcomed to Main Street AdAmBrAmBurger

Staff writer

While increasing numbers of senior citizens look to retire in Prince Edward County, Mayor Peter Mertens says he’s pleased to see that isn’t the only demographic choosing to make this place a home. “We’re attracting people who have confidence in the county who are on the other end,” he said. “They’re here because they want to be a part of this, they want to raise their families here and help keep our schools open. That’s very exciting for us.” The story is personified by Kyle and Jenny Otsuka, who recently opened the Zest Kitchen Shop on Picton’s Main Street. Jenny recalls visiting Picton for a weekend about three years ago, just before she and Kyle got married. Their visit got them thinking about the life ahead of them. They made a drastic decision. “We wanted to live a life where we could be part of the community and contribute,” she said. “This business was one of those things that came along as part of the journey to get here, it wasn’t really the impetus. We really wanted to live in the county.” The couple worked on trying to free themselves up to make the move — Jenny

leaving her job and Kyle waiting for a transfer. Meanwhile, they started consulting and networking in the community. Chestnut Park realtor Ann Cooper, a family friend, helped them find a location for their business. Architect Brian Clark helped them realize what was and wasn’t possible in the former dry cleaning shop they opened in and helped to maximize the space available. They trusted Loyalist Contractors to do extensive restoration work highlighting some of the building’s original features while they

remained in the big city. “Getting a renovation completed when you’re not physically here is a scary thing,” said Jenny. “The team treated the building as if it was their own, there was not a stressful thing at all. Each time I saw it progress, it was how I would have envisioned it if it was clear in my head.” She indicated the physical store was more pleasing than she thought it would be. Overall, the Otsukas say they’ve been welcomed with open arms in the two months they’ve been living here.

Rob Richard of Loyalist Contractors helped cut the ribbon for the store, which features a wide variety of items such as cookware, kitchen accessories, dishes, and knives. He said the county could use more business people like the Otsukas. “They’re such a lovely young couple and this is what we need in the county — people to open up along Main Street,” he said. “The more of this we can have in Picton is just going to benefit all of us. You can’t help but welcome a couple like this.” Mertens agreed as he noted a lot of effort has gone into keeping Picton’s downtown vital and prosperous in the face of tough economic times. He said when serious business people with something to offer choose to locate here, that is a positive for the entire business community. “Any time we can see quality businesses join us, it benefits the entire community,” he said. The mayor added he was really impressed with the physical transformation of the building. “For those of us who were in this building before when it was a cleaner’s, this is something that in your wildest imagination, you couldn’t imagine. It is marvellous what has happened here.”

4-H quilters to take part in guildâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upcoming show Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work to be displayed July 7-8 in Wellington

Staff writer

The works of a new quilting group in Prince Edward County will be on display next weekend at the biannual PEC Quilterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Guild Quilt Show held for the first time at Wellington's Essroc Centre. Under the leadership of Deelia Evans, a member of the PEC Quilterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Guild, a new 4-H quilt group was started in the County about a year ago. Nine girls, between the ages of 10 and 20, with help of leaders Barbara Insley, Julie Leavit and Karen Guernsey, began a journey into new territory for all of them. Brianna Logan, Allisa Goodfellow, Catherine Beckett, Sarah Evans, Shannon Langridge, Veronica James-Lloyd, Lucy Mee, Hannah Dursksen and Becca Houghton are all pioneers of this new venture and while some of the girls had never been near a sewing machine (much less utilized one), they were eager to learn. With generous donations from guild members, of flannel fabric, notions and the use of sewing machines, these young beginner seamstresses set out to challenge themselves into finishing a cozy lap quilt. At the general meeting of the PEC Quilterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Guild in June, they proudly displayed their finished work.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;What a great accomplishment and what a great skill to have starting their adult life,â&#x20AC;? said PEC Quilter's Guild member Lyne Lusk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Who knows when knowing how to sew will come in handy, whether its sewing for their own children, a dress, a pair of pants or a shirt? But more importantly maybe this generation of sewers will keep the old tradition of quilting alive.â&#x20AC;? The PEC Quilterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Guild participates and encourages the continued journey of these girls, new ones entering to a new challenge in the winter. Not only does the guild

THE PICTON GAZETTE

Q. I have a gas water heater that is getting up there in age. I have read about the new tankless water heaters and am considering installing one in place of my tank type heater. Is there anything to be aware of that isn’t mentioned in the sales material?

The Inspectors Corner

THURSDAY, JUNE 28, 2012 f RE/9

A READER RECENTLY ASKED?

The big advantage of tankless water heaters is that they serve up the hot water instantly and continuously on demand – at the desired temperature, as long as there aren’t too many

users demanding it at the same time. If there is a high demand, the water temperature will drop. Other advantages are the relatively compact size of the heaters and the fact that you do not have a large tank full of hot water sitting around, losing heat between cycles. Tankless heaters eliminate this standby heat loss because they heat only as much water as you actually use. Beside a potential temperature drop during periods of high demand, another disadvantage

Wayne Fulton is a local home inspector and can be reached at 613-354-9547

wfulton@fultonhomeinspections.com

of tankless heaters is the initial cost of the heater and installation, which can be twice as much as a first-rate, energysaving tank-type heater. Tankless backers say the extra cost can be recovered through energy savings, but it can take many years for a “payback” in some cases. Installing a tankless heater in a new house is more beneficial; as a retrofit, however, there are additional costs that can add to the sticker price – namely the possible need to in-

crease the size of your gas line, or install a new venting system. A lot of municipalities are now renting these heaters, making them very attractive as a means of energy consumption. A tankless system may be a good option for your situation, but be sure to get several quotes and make sure it includes all that will be required to install the system to manufacturer requirements and local code. Also make sure it is sized to meet your expected hot water usage needs.
