The Picton BIA is touting a new logo and branding materials as "brighter, bolder, and punchier" than anything it had previously used to promote commerce in the county's largest town. The organization's director of management services Lyndsay Richmond said its management had been working on a new look for its guide to shops and services and the discussion spilled over to the need for a new web site that capitalizes on recent advances in mobile technology. As discussions continued, Richmond remembers getting the idea that the work being done should go beyond just a simple facelift and should be all-encompassing of promotional materials. "We got approval (on the web site) and our streetscapes committee also said they need new flags for Main Street that should have the brand and web site integrated as well," Richmond recalled. "I had been looking at the

same logo for several years — a circular imagine — and I said to the management committee we need a new logo for Picton." The BIA had solicited photography from Vaughan Group, a Sophiasburghbased creative agency, for the guide and they had been talking about ideas with its designers. Upon issuing a request for proposal, Richmond said the management committee thought it made good sense to put the design task in the hands of one firm to ensure there would be consistency moving forward. "It made sense if we were working with one team to make one tool, we wanted a consistent group

working on all the tools — the guide, the web site, the banners, and a new logo." The management committee approved the exercise and it voted to spend money from a surplus in 2013 to go over its initial budget to ensure that the new branding was rolled out in one year and not over a more staged approach. Trevor Crowe, the head of the BIA's marketing committee said originally the organization had looked for a slight modification of its brands, including banner images produced by Carl Wiens, but the Vaughan Group proposals stuck with BIA members. "They were making it something that really

popped and had a lot of colour, something more contemporary than we'd had previously," he said. "I was apprehensive at first, but it really grew on me." The banners are detailed with red, blue, purple, and green and feature a logo that shows Main Street including the marina, the Crystal Palace, Regent Theatre, and Picton United Church. Above, a whimsical plane pulls a glider through the air. "When designing the logo, we wanted something friendly that would make people want to come to Picton. They'd see it as the cute, little, perfect allCanadian town," said David Vaughan. "We wanted to incorporate the marina in it and our dad was in the airforce, so we're plane oriented. We always remembered the yellow gliders flying over. The logo shows in itself what the town is all about." A secondary image focuses on the Crystal Palace, while another one focuses primarily on the harbour.

Development at the H.J. McFarland lands took a step forward last week. At their meeting last Thursday, committee-ofthe-whole voted in favour of executing a site plan agreement with Nautical Lands Group for a parcel of McFarland land to be sold to the company for a proposed development. The motion will go before council for approval on June 10. The motion passed last week grants approval in principle of the site plan and site plan agreement for the Nautical proposal. The motion says that on completion of the land sale the site plan agreement would be executed. Additionally, the motion says that any excess capacity created by the construction of the new public road and related infrastructure envisioned in the site plan agreement would be recovered from future development. It directs staff to bring forward an East Picton and McFarland lands master servicing environmental assessment project for consideration in the 2015 capital budget. Approval would permit the developer to move ahead with a plan to construct a new multi-unit age in place residential development, which includes a total of 152 units to be built in two phases. A report presented to the committee last week said the site plan was reviewed by planning staff, engineering, development, and works staff, the chief building official, the fire department, and Quinte Conservation, and each are satisfied with the proposed site plan drawings and site plan agreement. Councillor Barry Turpin expressed his approval for the project at the committee meeting.

Annual White Chapel service brings congregants back to roots of Methodism Guest speaker David Bentley shares stories about Wesley brothers and about how their church grew in Quinte region as part of 205th anniversary Staff wRiteR

About 35 people found seats in the historic White Chapel off County Rd. 49 Sunday afternoon as they had a chance to learn about the people who filled its pews two centuries ago. Picton United Church minister Rev. Phil Hobbs presided over a 205th anniversary service filled with song and scripture that lasted about 50 minutes — slack, he noted, by the standards of the Methodists, who would routinely have threehour meetings to pray and to study the Bible. David Bentley, the longtime curator of the Belleville

Scout-Guide Museum, one of the largest of its kind in Canada, and a 2012 Queen's Jubilee Medal for his work with the Canadian Royal Heritage Trust visited this year to give an address about the origins of Methodism and its growth in the area. Bentley explained that the Methodists started as a holy club at the University of Oxford in England, started by John and Charles Wesley and George Whitefield. They became known for discipline. "The club stressed people have an inward religion or religion of the heart. Members had to be disciplined in scholastic as well as spiritual matters," Bentley said. "They earned the term of

Methodists by their fellow Oxford students." The club grew into societies within the Church of England which stressed religious sharing, Bible studies, prayer and preaching. They also had a rule of bans to govern aspects of members' lives and an exacting schedule of meetings. Bentley was quick to note that the teachings of Methodism spread throughout the United Kingdom quickly and soon spread to the new world, where the Wesley brothers once traveled as missionaries in the 1730s. Upon their return to England, both brothers found themselves dissatisfied with the doctrine of the Church of England. About 50 years later, the Methodist Episcopal Church earned its separation and its freedom to administer the sacraments. Just before the 1800s, Bentley noted that Governor Simcoe was attracting many to come to British North America by offering 200-acre land grants to those taking oaths of allegiance to the King. That helped populate Fredericksburgh, Adolphustown, and

Sophiasburgh with United Empire Loyalists. Around that time, Bentley noted the second great awakening took place within the protestant church and many people believed doctrine that great revivals could save all people. Upper New York State, and by extension, Upper Canada were hot beds for revivals and it was thought that a 1795 revival on his land moved Stephen Conger, a Loyalist from New Jersey, to allow a chapel to be built on his lands in Hallowell on lands it appeared he'd

already allowed used as a burial ground. Work began on the chapel in 1809 and it was finished in 1811. According to Bentley's research, Methodism in the Quinte region had grown more quickly than anywhere else in the areas to become Ontario and Quebec as there were 632 members. A justice of the peace, Conger himself helped that matter by marrying 67 couples over a 29-year period, many in the chapel. Two marriages involved people of colour. The White Chapel had been the preeminent preaching place on the Hallowell Circuit in the county, but by the 1820s, Picton had experienced quick growth and it had built a fine church of its own. It feel into disfavour in the circuit that had 26 preaching places, as explained by Anson Green, who was one of the primary voices leading that circuit of worshippers. "It was the principle church on the circuit before the one in the village was built, but a more awkwardly arranged one I don't want to

see," Bentley read from Green's memoirs. Green complained about the galleries being level on the floor, which forced the pulpit to be "stuck up toward the moon." He also noted the preacher would have to smell the breaths of all the people down below and could scarcely see them with how high he had to be to preach to a full assembly. Bentley noted the pulpit now, which is a good 10 steps up from the ground and forces visitors to look way up was nearly twice as high as it is now with the sounding board once at the top of the windows. Green also griped about a lack of kneeling room for communion. The Methodists and their chapel were marginalized by the Family Compact in the 1830s, which only recognized the Church of England, and only received some reprieve when Egerton Ryerson advocated for their rights in the 1930s. Since, the chapel has been largely inactive, save for the annual service, wedding celebrations, and tours throughout the summer. Bentley said a debt of gratitude is owed to those who managed to keep the example of early Methodist history alive for all to see. "It is indeed fortunate that for over 205 years, trustees have put their heart and soul into maintaining this landmark," he said. With the continued donations of those who visit the ceremony, that practice should continue, allowing people to have an annual glimpse on what it was like when services took place.

County lauded by peers for its new career development program Municipality picked among those with between 20,001 and 100,000 people Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

Corporate restructuring and changes in business practices over the past few years appear to be paying dividends for Prince Edward County. Last week it was announced the municipality's new career development program — instituted in 2013 — had received national recognition from the Canadian Association of Municipal Administrators (CAMA). The County was awarded the 2014 CAMA award for professional development for municipalities with a population between 20,001 and 100,000. The award was announced during CAMA's national conference in Niagara Falls on May 28. A press release distributed by the municipality says the award is given in recognition of a municipality that has instituted an innovative program for their staff that can be replicated in other communities. “The program, which was funded by cost savings

obtained through a recent corporate realignment, encourages staff to pursue professional development and learning opportunities both inside and outside the scope of their work,” the release says. “The decision to proactively invest in staff is intended to result in improved job satisfaction, employee productivity and succession planning, while reducing turnover rates and associated administrative costs.” Mayor Peter Mertens

says in the release the municipality was excited to receive the recognition. “We are thrilled to receive the 2014 CAMA Professional Development Award,” said Mertens. “Since the implementation of the program, employees have been working incredi-

bly hard to enhance and develop their skills and abilities. I am proud of the work that has gone into this program, and the positive response it has received from staff.” The release says the program not only benefits staff and the municipality, but is

meant to benefit the greater community as well. It says staff enrolled in the program are encouraged to participate in community activities and volunteer. The release says close to 20 community organizations have felt the impact of this part of the program,

with county staff participating in activities with the Alzheimer’s Society, Hastings and Prince Edward Fire Training Complex, Prince Edward Learning Centre, and Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Auxiliary among others. County chief administrative officer Merlin Dewing said investing in professional growth will remain a long-term goal for the municipality. “Ongoing investment in the personal and professional growth of staff will provide both short and long term returns to the municipality and will remain a key component of our corporate realignment strategy moving forward,” Dewing said in the release. “Establishing an efficient and sustainable business model that offers continuous growth opportunities will improve employee knowledge and capacity while meeting our objectives of employee retention, satisfaction, succession planning, and becoming an employer of choice.”

Prior to the First World War, Glenwood Cemetery would open its gates early in the spring and invite the community to help clean up from the winter before. Often, picnic lunches would follow. About three years ago, the cemetery's board discovered photos and old policies outlining the tradition of decoration day and they decided they'd bring back the custom yet again. "The board revived that tradition. We're trying to revitalized Glenwood Cemetery," said board member Barb Proctor. "The

grounds in the last several years have shown a huge improvement and we want to bring people out to enjoy that. We also want to showcase our chapel." Visitors driving into the cemetery Sunday afternoon were welcomed by the music of Ken Hudson on the guitar and guided by volunteers and board members to the sites of loved ones. Outside the chapel, the cemetery had available for purchase floral arrangements and other tribute items. At 2 p.m. families were welcomed to step into the historic chapel to share in a memorial service led by

Rev. Audrey Whitney and co-celebrated by cemetery manager Helma Oonk, who also has knowledge of ceremonial burial customs. Musician Lorain Sine was expected to provide music during the ceremony, which traditionally was a first opportunity for family and friends to pay respects. Oonk was also prepared to offer a guided walking tour of the grounds to any interested visitors. "It really is a nice kind of event," said photographer Peggy deWitt, one of three sponsors for the day alongside Royal Lepage real estate agent Elizabeth

Document before council this month would replace guidelines for development in town that have been on the books since 1980

Heights area could see plenty of change under Picton secondary plan Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

The municipality is one step closer to putting in place a new secondary plan for the urban centre of Picton. Committee of the whole approved the land-use guideline at last week's meeting and the document will now be brought to the June 10 meeting of council for approval. If approved the plan will be reviewed by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MMAH) and a draft decision will come back to

council for approval. The secondary plan provides detailed land-use policies and designations for Picton's urban centre. The new plan will replace the existing Picton secondary plan that was approved in 1980 and will include a new set of policies that come in line with the municipality's current goals for planning and development as well as reflecting the content of the current provincial policy statement. The revision of the plan was initiated by council in 2010 and the process was

guided by a steering committee along with planning firm IBI Group. A report presented to the committee says the process so far has included eight steering committee meetings, four council meetings, two community workshops, two statutory public meetings and an open house along with One Window Review by the MMAH. The report says the Picton Heights Development Area is one that will see a significant change in planning approach. While in the past the long-term aim was to create new mixed-use

neighbourhoods on full municipal services, the report says staff now recommend an array of development opportunities for the long, medium, and short term. The report says the changes will permit a broader range of new uses — including tourism and recreation — and puts less emphasis on the importance of linking new development on the heights with Picton's existing community. The change also, “replaces the vision of the Heights as a place that meets the community's

ANTIQUE

everyday needs (live, work, play) with a more open door approach that supports many different forms and types of development.� Changes also eliminate elements that encourage a compact form of development and eliminates requirements for a mix of commercial uses and a mix of institutional uses. Also eliminated are requirements for a mix of housing types, a diversity of unit types, and a diversity of levels of affordability for the heights. New too will be a recognition of the H.J. McFarland

lands as a unique area with its own special planning approach. Policies enable a mix of uses including nursing home, retirement home, hospital and clinic and sets a range of densities of up to 100 dwelling units per hectare. “Amongst other things, the policies also set an objective for affordable housing (one-third) and require, prior to development taking place, council’s endorsement of a development plan that shows how the whole site will be developed in an orderly fashion,� the report says.

PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY

Looking back in the

Picton Gazette 90 years ago — 1924

n Picton utilities commission chair I. Frith Fraser told council the town’s water system had nearly reached its capacity as it had 664 users of a possible 724 and still had to leave adequate supply for fire protection. He said if the town lessened the water available to fight fires, insurance would rise. He suggested only small main extensions could be accommodated and it might be time to consider bigger upgrades. n The Men’s and Women’s Conservative Associations of Prince Edward County met in the same room and elected Morton Weese and W.R. Munro as respective presidents. The associations also discussed preparations for a possible fall election as MP John Hubbs felt the Liberals might call a snap election before the Progressive Conservatives had a chance to fully organized for the event. n Fred Newman bought a log cabin that he intended to donate to the Prince Edward Agricultural Society to erect on the fairgrounds to serve as the host of a historical exhibit at the annual fair.

70 years ago — 1944

n Allied Forces landed on the beaches of France and were beginning an invasion inland to western Europe, which according to British prime minister Winston Churchill was going according to plan. As many as 4,000 ships and 11,000 aircraft took part in the invasion and Churchill said German resistance on shore was less than had been expected. n The Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment was front and centre in a battle where over 300 Nazi soldiers were taken prisoner in Italy’s Liri Valley. One of the captured soldiers told the Toronto Telegram the battle was worse than Stalingrad, noting the Germans could see the Russians coming but not the Canadians. “They were a wall of steel. We could not stand the attack,” the men said. n H.J. McFarland made a prize addition to his Holstein herd, buying a fine 11-monthold heifer from a Calgary farm for $3,900. It was the highest price paid for a heifer at the national sale since 1920.

60 years ago — 1954

n Picton’s Girl Guides and Brownies were seeking to collect a mile of pennies — that’s $4,450 — to help build the new hospital. The town painted a line down Main Street from town hill to the Globe Hotel (a half-mile on each side) and invited residents to put their change there for the collection. nThree fishermen from Cleveland, Ohio were rescued from Mosquito Bay after clinging to their overturned boat for over an hour. A fellow fisherman heard their cries and started the rescue.

20 years ago — 1994

n Royal Canadian Legion Branch 78 president Bill Insley said he didn’t see a problem with people wearing Sikh turbans or Jewish yarmulkes inside Legion halls. He noted unless the Legion’s Dominion command gave orders to the contrary, he said people wearing religious headgear would still be served despite a failed national vote to allow people to wear those items. n County council voted to advocate for welfare reform that would see families not get extra money for new children.

Some might argue that 4 a.m. when I routinely get up, is still night. However, I see it as the start of a new day, the stirring of new life and I want to be around to watch it all happen. So, here I was, again, watching as darkness fell, on a deserted, narrow side road near South Bay. I was pulled well off to the side of the road in what passes for a ditch in this part of the County where less than six inches of soil is the norm. The road is called Hilltop Road and eventually becomes Army Reserve Road as it works its way toward Point Petre from South Bay. I had measured my distance carefully from South Bay and several car tracks indicated I was in the right spot to listen for a chuck-will’s-widow that I was told would start calling at 8:45 p.m. It had been discovered initially by Kingston area birder Michael Runtz as he was doing a birdathon in the area to raise funds for the Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory. Having never heard or seen one of these southern versions of our more familiar whip-poor-will, I felt that owed it to myself to at least try. I am not a life lister with 6,000 plus species. I have a meagre 303 species on my cumulative list of bird species

seen. I prefer to learn as much as I can about the few that I have seen rather than treat them as simply another tick on a checklist. At least, that’s my story. However, the chuck-will’s-widow would be a nice addition. Darkness was falling, 9:00 o’clock came and went, and still no sound that would translate into a chuck-will’swidow. The wind was blowing a bit and the din of grey tree frogs calling from a nearby wetland was deafening. Had the distant call of this southern bird been drowned out? A pick-up drove by, likely the only other vehicle this uninhabited road had seen all day; it was a few minutes before the sound of gravel disappeared so I could once again focus on my quest. Suddenly, amongst the still vocal towhees, and field sparrows, and a distant whip-

poor-will commencing to rev up, I heard it! The wind caught snatches of the song and occasionally whisked them away, but there was enough to verify its identity. I needed to hear it more clearly, so we moved further down the road from the original site where it had been calling for a week, and shut off the car again. It was much clearer now and the repetition of its name appeared to be less vigorous than that of its familiar cousin. Distance may have played a role in this or it could have been the tree frogs, but the four syllabled call was diagnostic. We could go home now and go to bed. Like the whip-poor-will, the chuck-will’s-widow repeats its own name, tirelessly and consecutively, for seemingly hours on end. It’s a Carolinian forest breeder, and prior to 1906, had never occurred in Ontario, but did that year, at Point Pelee, and wasn’t seen again until 1964. Its arrival in eastern Ontario was heralded by an appearance west of Prince Edward Point for three consecutive years, 1976-1978, involving four singing males. Three years later, another showed up at Perth Road Village, north of Kingston, followed by another in the city of Kingston in 1984. More recently, one conveniently turned up at the Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory last spring and was heard calling for three nights.

The individual this spring was discovered May 19. Both the whip-poor-will and the chuck-will’s-widow and the common nighthawk, belong to a family known as nightjars, or goatsuckers. The family name ‘goatsucker’ came from folk tales that these wide-mouthed birds sucked milk from goats at night, the observers who gave the family this undignified name having seen these birds following goats around as they snatched insects. The family name stuck. The nighthawk, because of its piercing calls and the extraordinary evolutions and gyrations of its flight, attracts even casual observers who ordinarily pay no special attention to birds. They are a little more familiar to many of us since they are often seen during the evening hours hunting for insects, unlike its cousins who tend to be active only at night. Another member, the common poorwill is smaller than even a robin, and is a bird of the western United States. Two other species, the Antilean nighthawk and the common pauraque, also members of this family, are confined to the Florida Keys and Mexico.

Shout Sister! choir benefit for Alternatives For Women Saturday

Picton’s Shout Sister! choir is set to make a joyful noise for an important community program this Saturday. Georgette Fry will be directing the singers in a concert at St. Mary Magdalene Church at 7 p.m. for Alternatives For Women’s secondstage housing programs. Tickets for the show are $15 with children 8 and under admitted for free. They’re available from choir members and at the door. The geared-to-income

housing allows women to escape abusive situations and receive a fresh start in life. Alternatives also provides counselling, support, and safety planning for women who have experience intimate partner violence or who have experienced it in the past. The fundraiser follows an annual theme where the choir dedicates itself to helping women and children in need. Shout Sister! isn’t an average choir where members have to audition for their

roles. Instead, all women are welcome and they are trained in a wide variety of fun music, ranging from pop and Motown to folk, and to some country and blues. Each of the songs is learned from recorded tracks, so there is no need for members to have to learn how to read music. The choir strives to provide a welcoming community atmosphere where beginners and experienced vocalists can share in the music. Those looking to become

involved with the Shout Sister! choir are encouraged to try the group out for themselves by attending a rehearsal. The group meets regularly on Thursdays from 7-9 p.m. at St. Mary Magdalene. Fry first started the choir in 2002 in Kingston. She added the Picton chapter in 2006 and there are now 15 chapters across Ontario under the direction of eight different directors. -Staff

apologetically taken the stance that Ontario needs to shift its priorities and it needs to consider getting back to its budget and paying down the debt. Tim Hudak and his Progressive Conservatives have been the most aggressive of the three major parties in their plan to do those things without promising more spending. While Hudak’s ideology appeals to us, there are many others who are just as vocal about the notion that potential job cuts will be harmful to the economy and many who have bad memories of the Mike Harris administration and the impact of cutbacks then. Voters will no doubt be mindful of recent scandals like the $1 billion move of two gas plants being built in the Greater Toronto Area, but realistically the election will likely come down to which of the major parties people believe is on the right track when it comes to job creation and the economy. Those who are passionate one way or another should take to social media, talk to as many people as they can, and try to influence the vote June 12 and the elected members standing after. Realistically, that bigger picture debate will likely not be decided in Prince Edward-Hastings, however. Last time around in 2011, the polling numbers between the Liberal and Progressive Conservative parties were back-and-forth as they are today and political newcomer Todd Smith pulled out a victory here over Leona Dombrowsky, a veteran cabinet minister who had held several high-profile portfolios who just might be standing in Premier Kathleen Wynne’s place right now had it not been for Smith’s campaign. The issue of the Green Energy Act certainly galvanized some voters, though there was also something to be said for the hard work of Smith’s campaign team to reach as many doors as they did and Smith’s presence as a trusted and popular media personality in the Quinte area also likely swayed some voters in his direction. It’s clear that his campaign stayed on message and performed better than the provincial campaign — which somewhat ironically, pundits said Hudak lost because he didn’t offer enough difference from the platform offered by the Liberals — with not only Dombrowsky competing, but a strong Green candidate in Treat Hull, whom the Gazette endorsed, and an NDP candidate Sherry Hayes, who was extremely well versed on the issues north of Hwy 7. Whether one agrees with Hudak’s world view, Smith’s efforts cannot be denied. He studied the Green Energy Act and was first to put forward a members’ bill that would restore local decision-making powers. He took time to meet with local winemakers and came up with a bill that would help them access the marketplace. He also helped county residents lobbying for the hospital to get a direct meeting with Deb Matthews. In his function as a representative, Smith did very well for a non-government MPP. He, his wife Tawnya — herself a public sector worker — and children Peyton and Reagan have been visible and accessible at many community events and Smith has shown he can listen to constituents and give direct, honest answers. He’s done enough to keep his seat at Queen’s Park, and with respect to the other three well-qualified candidates, we’d be shocked if he didn’t receive it Thursday and play a big role in the future of his party, win or lose.

Regent, library partner to show new documentary

The Regent Theatre in partnership with the County of Prince Edward Public Library will present the first screening in Canada of the documentary Open Sesame – The Story of Seeds on Sunday, June 8 at 2 p.m. As well, filmmaker, Sean Kaminsky will join the audience for a Q&A via Skype following the showing of the movie. “One of the world’s most precious resources is at risk and most people do not know that it is happening or what to do about it,” warns Kaminsky. This groundbreaking film will uncover all that is at stake and what can be done to protect the source of nearly all of our food: seeds. As explained on the film’s web site, “Seeds provide the basis for everything from fabric, to food, to fuels. They are as essential to life as the air we breathe or water we drink, but given far less attention. Over the past one hundred years, seeds have steadily shifted from being common heritage to sovereign property. In the past, seeds were communal. They were a shared resource not unlike the water we drink or the air we breathe. One hundred years ago things started to change. Today, corporateowned seed accounts for 82% of the worldwide market. Seeds are no longer ‘free’ or open source, they are proprietary. Large corporations are stealing seed varieties by slowly patenting them. The fruit and vegetable varieties we enjoy today exist because of choices our ancestors made. People saved seed from one healthy plant versus another and new varieties were created. This means these were saved by grandparents, great grandparents or perhaps much further back, depending on family history. We share ownership of more than ten thousand years of collective agricultural blood, sweat and toil that has allowed civilization to flourish.” Open Sesame is being hailed as a project that will inspire people with the beauty, mystery and intrinsic potential for change that lies dormant within each seed. In the film we meet a diverse range of individuals whose lives center around

InsIde the lIbrary CHRISTINE RENAUD

seeds: farmers, renegade gardeners, passionate seed savers, artists, seed activists, and the most innovative thinkers and consciousness raisers of our generation. This film will take viewers on a journey to experience the story of seeds like no other. The film’s creator, Sean Kaminsky, is an award-winning documentary filmmaker and writer. As such, he has tackled a broad range of urgent topics, from social to political, while telling impactful stories that engage and entertain. His short film series, Save the Slogan, was part of Robert Redford’s launch of Green programming on the Sundance channel as well as his Green Man, which visited artists at the Burning Man Festival that used environmental themes in their works. Further producing credits of note include Too Hot Not to Handle, an HBO feature documentary on global warming with Laurie David, who produced the award-winning An Inconvenient Truth. Tickets for Open Sesame at the Regent on June 8th are $5 for those 16 years and under and $10 for adults, available at the door. This is a joint fundraiser for the County of Prince Edward Public Library and the Regent Theatre. In addition, the Picton branch of the library has a free seed library with seeds available at no cost to any library cardholder, as well as a selection of seed saving and gardening books. The seeds available have been generously donated by a variety of local seed savers.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Hudak’s plan not for students, seniors, and poor

Surprise, surprise, yet another editorial from The Picton Gazette bashing the Liberals in the upcoming Provincial election but also applauding Tim Hudak and the Progressive Conservative Party! To quote Popeye, "That’s all I can stands, I can’t stands no more. If you really want to inform your readers then why not accurately label the villain in the piece? Tim Hudak and the Conservatives are not to be trusted nor should they be elected. First, his economic plan of creating a million jobs by cutting 100,000 jobs makes no sense and has yet to find any support from any economist. If he cannot take the advice of professionals, what makes us think he’d take the advice of the electorate? You get what you vote for and

what makes you think he 'll stop at the 100,000? If elected, he might think he has the will of the people to go even further and suddenly 100,000 becomes 150,000 or more. Last time around, under Mike Harris, with Tim Hudak sitting around the table, the Conservatives slashed social assistance rates by almost 22 per cent and axed a number of social housing and affordable housing projects. Now Hudak, in his “what is old is new again” plan, wants to make more cuts to social assistance payments. Talk about wanting to build the economy on the backs of the poorest of its citizens! That’s right, let’s tear down the social safety net while we re waiting for these million pie in the sky jobs to appear.

Hudak also wants to eliminate the home renovation tax credit for seniors that would allow seniors to stay in their homes longer. Tim seems to think that it is cheaper to put seniors into long-term care rather than allowing them to live in their own home. Let’s not even mention the dignity of living in a home where you built your life. What about students? Under the Conservatives, the 30-per-cent tuition grant for most Ontario college and university students would be eliminated. He wants to create jobs but also hinder access to higher education so students can get a better paying job. Many students can't afford a post-secondary education and now Hudak wants to make sure even less students can get a college or uni-

versity diploma. And yet more cuts to education? Hudak wants to increase the classroom sizes. He also wants all day Kindergarten to be taught by only one teacher with no assistants. I'd like to see him try to manage, let alone teach, a classroom of 26 three to five year olds all on his own every day. Parents and teachers have fought for years to make sure the cap on the classroom sizes were appropriate. No one wins in this scenario. If Hudak wins, it’s fair game against children, students, seniors, and poor people. Is it any wonder that I have a yellow sign on my front lawn that says “We Will Not Be Voting Conservative!”

I am shocked that the Gazette endorsed Tim Hudak’s campaign despite its seeming “overly harsh”. They ignore the fact that a Hudak Queens Park, according Hudak’s campaign promises, would erode our hospital and any shred of autonomy it has left. He has made promises to cut hospital administrations by further centralizing control. This centralization, like we saw when Picton was forced to join Quinte, will erode local services further including our own. The only people who have been shown to benefit by such policies are hospital CEOs. Systemic savings tend

to be lost to logistics, diminished preventative care, less efficient administration and bloated emergency – in short, we end up spending the same or more. It’s flawed policy of a sort that has worked fiscally but has been shown many times to erode services. We must wary of such a centralization of power. In this community, where we have seen so much erosion of our community’s control over our own hospital, it is madness to support policies that will only serve to limit our autonomy further and put other communities’ health services, like ours, on the copping block. We’ve seen the strain such

policies put on service providers and citizens alike. Our babies are born into it, each time a young woman has to make the trip to Belleville to give birth. We should be looking for leaders who know that the best place for someone to be born, to heal, to help or to die is in their own community — is here, for us, at home in Prince Edward. This issue is just one of the warning flags. We must also be wary of any cut and burn campaign that provides no detailed plan. The Gazette suggests that the Hudak campaign has a plan. It doesn’t. It has austerity talking points but it never outlines a serious

plan to enact them. There is no evidence of rigour. It is more idealogical than practical – failed ideology too: the sort that has burned economies in Europe and forced double dips over the past five years instead of fostering recovery. Progressive conservatives should think twice before voting with the party. This may be the PC Party in name but it is not a PC platform. For small town and rural Ontarians, this election might be one of the lesser of all the evils – Hudak’s version of conservatism doesn’t fit the bill.

Staff writer

The grounds of Macaulay Heritage Park were heavily guarded Saturday as an armed company of soldiers paraded around the historic site to the beat of a drum, showing off their training to all who came near. The visiting company had put up three canvas tents sometime in the overnight hours Friday and appeared seriously committed to the instructions they had been given – to replicate the drills of the Brockville Rifles corps of the 1860s and to educate the visiting public about the lives they led. In the days leading up to Confederation, teenagers and young adults would have joined the cause and picked up arms to fight for the Crown in the face of Fenian Raids from the United States. Today, with those conflicts long a memory, young people often learn their history in schools. The group marching in Picton Saturday represents Geoff Audus’ effort to give his students the closest lessons to reality. In 2006, the East Northumberland Secondary School teacher started a drill team with the intention of sharing a love of military and social history that couldn’t be found in books. “It’s essentially a club. We have students, alumni, and community volunteers involved,” he said. “We demonstrate the camp life and the military drills that would have taken place in the period. We do several re-enactments, we’ve been to Upper Canada Village, this event, and are looking at doing some bicentennials and centennials as well as other one-off events.” Audas tirelessly works

stAying Around East Northumberland alumnus Amberly Thomson enjoyed her time with the drill team so much she’s stayed on to help after graduation, choosing to portray women of the period. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

to keep his company moving as he himself stitches the traditional wool uniforms – thankfully, some coming after the invention of sewing machines, furnishes replica weapons from the period, and even raises tents for those alumni who make encampments overnight affairs. His father, Robert, an enthusiast in the history of weaponry, shows people the modifications that took place in British and Canadian rifles over the period as the firing of the guns is not something that is encouraged for the students who take part in a school activity. Robert also provides demonstrations. Audas says his club isn’t just for history buffs either. He notes a lot of drama students have enjoyed the idea that they can take on a persona and work with the public, while a number of girls have also enjoyed learning about the fashions of the day and re-enacting

balls from yesteryear. That said, many girls are just as excited to wear military woolies and march in file too. “My armies are typically 70 per cent girls,” Audas said. Typically, the teacher said his company won’t particularly portray any wars or battles, but rather will demonstrate company life. He said he’d like to think the lessons have given students two things. “I’m finding they gain an appreciation for Canada’s past in general. I also want to dispel any myths about the glories of war that students may have,” he said. On the parade grounds in front of Macaulay House, Cpl. Mac Willard was busy teaching new recruit Coral Peloquin the manual of arms, several different stages cadets could show off on command.

Willard said in Grade 9, during the celebrations for the bicentennial of the War of 1812, some of his friends were part of drill team. He saw their re-enactments and thought it would be a fun company to join as he’s always had some interest in the military. He said it has been really neat to learn about a group like the Brockville Rifles that still exists today and added that it has been a lot of fun to take on the character of a soldier. “You get to be in character and if you learn the lingo, you can walk around town and ask if anyone has seen any Fenians. Once you get the hang of it, it becomes easy,� he said. “Often you’ll have to explain it to people, but it is cool to act it out.� Willock said that even though he found the wooly uniforms a bit itchy, he really appreciated that Audas made them authentic to the period and gave such an opportunity to learn outside of the classroom. He noted that many students appreciate their teacher for his enthusiasm for the cause. Peloquin said she was taking Audas’ class this year and became intrigued when he called for recruits. After a day of marching, learning orders, and facing the public, she says she’d like to experience more. “I find it interesting. It’s fun. I’d like to come back,� she said. A few yards away from the company, Amberly Thomson was sitting near her tent with a handful of fresh-picked rhubarb. A member of the drill team since she was in Grade 10, the Trent University student has continued on with the re-enactments, serving as an alumnus and a chaperone.

company, and a duty to share the story of the women of the time, says she enjoys the lifestyle. “I was never really interested in history in high school, but this sparked my interest. It’s something relaxing, an escape from everyday life. Really you’re just camping with your friends and having fun doing it.� Thomson said her group of friends stayed together as part of the drill team throughout their time at East Northumberland and she noted the drill club was always well received and accepted for what they did. She added that when they’re in the public eye, there’s no shortage of interest from visitors either. “It’s unusual. People are super interested in what we are doing.� Though Thomson said she wants to do some travelling and return to Japan where she spent time as an exchange student, she indicated she’d be quite interested in doing more re-enacting in the future, noting it’s a good way to make friends and discover different things. Visitors to the museum were able to go inside Macaulay House for some 1860s goodies, including rhubarb punch, and they were also able to talk to Brian McLaughlin, a Wellington collector who brought a wide variety of weaponry and medals to show off.

Celebrate seniors throughout June

The Ontario Seniors Secretariat has announced that June 2014 marks the 30th anniversary of Seniors’ Month. This year’s theme is Aging Without Boundaries: 30 Years of Celebrating Seniors. The theme recognizes the contributions seniors have made to their community and the contributions they are still making every day across Ontario. Here at Community Care we celebrate seniors every day. How could we not do that when each and every day our volunteers are involved in helping seniors live at home. And most of our volunteers are seniors themselves. They drive, shop, visit, cook, clean, visit, file, and do a myriad of other tasks that make it possible for our agency to provide the programs and services that make such a huge difference in the lives of seniors in the county. And, studies prove that volunteering help people live longer, healthier, happier lives. Volunteering allows one to give back, to use skills and abilities to benefit others, to make friends, and to stay socially connected. Volunteers know they are needed because each and every time they are involved they see the fruits of their labours. When you hand a hot meal to a waiting senior at their door, you know that driving there and delivering that meal made a difference. Community Care has celebrated Seniors’ Month for all of the 30 years the Ontario government has been doing so. For years we would automatically receive several huge colour posters of seniors to mark the event. That stopped awhile ago but you can go to the website of the Seniors Secretariat and see an

archive of these posters. They were great and really showed the positive side of aging well. Come to Community Care’s open house on Friday, June 13 from 1-3 p.m. to find out about services and about volunteer opportunities. We’ll have the coffee on!

UPCOMING WORKSHOP

The Alzheimer Society of Belleville, Hastings, and Quinte is presenting “Effective Communication For Persons With Dementia”. The speaker will beDr. J. B. Orange, PhD who is a renowned researcher whose insights and tips will inspire participants to communicate more effectively with persons living with dementia. Dementia can affect all aspects of a person’s life, including their perceptions of the world around them and their ability to communicate. It is crucial for persons caring for people with dementia (at work and at home) to better understand behaviour and implement consistent communication strategies that provide support to the person while

maintaining their dignity and well-being. Dr. Orange’s presentation will address common language and communication behaviours of individuals with different types of dementia. He will discuss techniques designed to enhance communication between people with dementia and their caregivers. All are welcome to attend this event on Thursday, June 12, from 8:30 a.m. - 4 p.m. at The Banquet Centre, 1 Alhambra Square in Belleville. This is a full day certificate course and the price includes lunch and snacks The cost is $50 forstudents and family caregivers and $100 for professionals. To register call the Alzheimer Society office 613-962-0892.

HELP AROUND THE HOME FOR SENIORS

If seniors need help with chores at home, either inside or out, Prince Edward Community Care has carefully screened workers available at reasonable rates. Help is available with yard and garden work, light and heavy housework, meal preparation, and respite – both during the day and overnight. Yard maintenance and grass cutting is also offered. For information on this service call the Prince Edward Community Care office located in The Armoury, 206 Main Street, Picton at 613-476-7493.

CAREGIVER SUPPORT

The knowledgeable staff of Prince Edward Community Care are willing and able to talk to caregivers about the depth and breadth of services in the community that will help seniors live at home. This knowledge can form the basis of good decisions. Call 613-476-7493.

also a $500 bursary given by the Kiwanis Club for an outstanding visual artist. This year, however, the PECAC decided to raise the stakes however by making Clark the first recipient of an award named after a local artist who served as an inspiration for many. Jewelry designer Carol Burrill passed away last October at the young age of 56. Her friend Peta Hall noted that she was greatly missed by many of her colleagues in the arts community for her spirit and for her involvement in many special events. “I first met Carol many years ago when we were starting with the studio tour. She was a very creative, hard-working, dedicated young woman who had these sparkling ideas.” Hall said each year for Art in the County, Burrill would come up with pieces that were out of left field, showing the incredible creative spirit she had. She added that Burrill always showed her caring nature for those around her. “She cared very deeply for her family and the community she was involved in,” she said. “Carol was involved with the Arts Trail, PECAC, the Maker’s Hand, and everything.” Hall shared an anecdote

about how she brought her wedding ring to Burrill in hopes that she could make an exact replica that she could give to her husband. Hall indicated her colleague worked for hours casting the ring, duplicating it, and making sure it was absolutely perfect. “She was a spirit that really, really shone,” Hall said. “After she died, it was a very hard thing for all of us and we thought it was fabulous to have an award that went to a young stu-

dent showing where that spirit and drive, determination, and creativity came from.” Hall said Clark could continue on and start her career with inspiration from the example Burrill left behind. Rod Holloway, the presenter of the Kiwanis award of $500, said in many ways, Clark drew some similar reviews over her time at PECI. “Emily was described as enthusiastic and willing to go above and beyond the call of duty to help others,” he said. Clark’s teachers spoke of the more than 100 hours of volunteer service she put into the design and production of the school’s yearbook. Her passion for the yearbook tracked back to her time in elementary

school when Clark had her artwork chosen for use as a yearbook cover. At PECI, she branched out and became more involved in publishing the book, while also doing design work for the Prince Edward Family Health Team and other community projects. At PECI, where Clark was also an accomplished athlete, she managed to balance her extracurricular activities with proficiency in the classroom, as noted by PECAC awards chair Mary Tucker. “Emily, since Grade 9, has maintained marks in the 80s and 90s. That’s unbeliavable,” said Tucker. “Not only has she been involved in the school, but also in her broader community. She’s an amazing student and I’m pleased we can offer this little bit of help to get her on her way.” Clark has been accepted into a three-year graphics design program at Durham College in Oshawa and she indicated she is hopeful that once she has earned a diploma from Durham, she can also pursue a university degree. Her eventual goal is to become an art director in the graphic design business. Hall indicated members of PECAC would continue to raise money to ensure that the Burrill scholarship lasts for years to come, providing students like Clark an opportunity to pursue careers in the arts. Also Thursday night, the PECAC handed out its annual volunteer recognition award to treasurer Greta Kristiansen, who has served as treasurer for several community events over the years.

BIA expects to launch new web site in two weeks, take brand to social media immediately

IDENTITY, from page 1

Barbara Vaughan said the work took that logo with its historical ties and also extended to the highlights of dining, eating, indulging, and history that the BIA has been working with in its merchandising since bringing forward the Experience Picton tagline a few years back. Crowe said the campaign markets consumer experiences and pulls together print, web, and banner advertising. People can savour the brand detailed in the banners, pick up the guide and find themselves drawn in by lively photography detailing the experiences they can enjoy. Then, by visiting the web site, they can go to a full-page advertisement featuring each of the BIA's members. "We wanted to offer a rich experience for people doing research online planning where to go," he said. "The banners are on the forefront of what's on people's minds and then deeper down, we have

that whole consumer experience planned out." He added the new web site, which will launch later this month, is designed to offer more bandwidth and information on mobile devices than previous versions could and instead of directing people off the site to apps, most of the information visitors to the county want to find will be right on the site. The guide also features new mapping provided by Vaughan Group that lists businesses by sector. An additional twist in the branding is the inclusion of the new Prince Edward County logo on all of the BIA's products. Richmond noted that the BIA is a county brand and the organization wanted to make a conscientious effort to work with the municipality in cross promotion. The County's communications directors, Ashley Stewart and Emily Tubbs, were on hand for the unveiling and appeared satisfied. "It's nice to see that both brands have a bright, bold look to them," said

Stewart. An additional partnership will see Prince Edward County Wines, the Festival Players of Prince Edward County, 99.3 County FM, the Maker's

Hand, and Prince Edward County Music Festival promoted through similar banners in town this year. Richmond indicated that aside from the BIA's board of management,

streetscapes, and marketing committees, most members got their first look at the identity when banners first went up on Saturday. Crowe noted that they were released at

a crucial time, also, with the peak of tourism season still to come, the guide ready for launch, and many of the older banners were in a state of disrepair and couldn’t be used.

Proposed procedure bylaw changes to limit committee deputations Interactions from the audience would be limited in time, number if approved Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

Changes made to the procedure bylaw last week will bring more congruity between council and committee-of-the-whole meetings. Councillors had a lengthy discussion about some proposed changes to the procedure bylaw at last week's committee-ofthe-whole meeting, ultimately adopting a couple that will see committee meetings more closely resemble council meetings. The proposed changes — four in all — will got to council June 10 for approval. The proposed changes were brought forward by staff in response to comments made by council members. The procedure bylaw is currently reviewed annually, but can be reviewed and amended by council at any time. Changes made last week include adding a section to the procedure bylaw that outlines rules of the confirmation of agenda portion of council and committee agendas. The motion to confirm the agenda gives councillors a chance to add an item to the agenda that is time sensitive, to defer or refer an item for consideration, or for the author of an item to withdraw it. The addition says that any item can be deferred or referred by a majority vote or withdrawn by the author, and says that if the motion to confirm the agenda is lost by a majority vote, the meeting will continue by placing each listed agenda item on the floor for a vote to consider,

defer, or refer. Changes were also made to the process of adding an item to an agenda. Only urgent or time sensitive items can be added to an agenda. In the past, an addition to a council agenda required unanimous support while the same addition could be added to a committee-of-the-whole agenda with a two-thirds majority vote. Councillors voted to change the procedure bylaw so that items can be added to a council or committee agenda with a two-thirds majority vote. Councillors also voted to change the process for “deputations from the audience” as listed on committee-of-the-whole agendas. In the past, any member of the public could speak to a motion on a committee agenda for up to 10 minutes. The section will now reflect the “comments from the audience” process of council meetings. This limits the comments from the audience section to 30 minutes total with deputations under the section limited to 3 minutes each. This does not apply to listed deputations. Additionally, councillors voted to remove the requirement for signed motions as it is not a requirement under the Municipal Act. A recommendation to limit the number of times a matter may be reconsidered by council was lost, as was a recommendation to allow councillors to ask questions of people providing deputations under the “comments from the audience” section at council meetings.

vironment you have and build on that. As a landscape designer as it was called in England when he took his university degree he focused on both hard design features such as the way in which the house related to the garden through its various exits, porches and terraces. Despite his focus on the existing environment he moved soil where properties were essentially flat sufficiently to provide natural looking slopes and basins that matched the size and setting of the property. His plans included paths, and sitting areas as well as gazebos and other garden focused buildings. The placing of trees, shrubs and garden beds fitted in with the rest of the

ongoing training we are expected to engage in to remain Master Gardeners. John Brookes who is considered to be the most influential garden designer of our times and who has written any number of books stated that “ The preservation of our landscapes, of which your garden is part, is vital – and to do this we have to find the essence of our own particular place and work with it. “ The simple version is don’t fight your own environment, the limestone based soil or the frequently drought riddled climate, to have a garden more suited to the damp west coast or the granite based Precambrian Shield found further North in Ontario.

Considering there are books that deal with nothing but garden design and many individuals with landscape degrees at differing levels as well as any number of skilled self taught landscapers this article is not intending to provide expert advice on being your own landscaper. In fact the training to write such an article is not part of the MG curriculum. While we do study theories of design and apply these to gardens and even containers we do not spend years or even a year studying garden landscaping as such. Like many of you our garden design skills are largely derived from years of gardening and augmented by the training we acquire in becoming Mas-

others over time. You will need to talk to their references and view the gardens that have been created as a result. If you have a limited budget or are a do it yourself kind of gardener keep in mind that only major decisions like building a gazebo, a hard surfaced patio or planting trees are difficult decisions to modify. Just as a container is easier to modify than a garden bed so is a garden bed easier to change than an addition to your home. Do your own planning and set your own schedule. Use books and visits to as many gardens as you can locate that reflect what you would like to have in your garden and take pictures and make notes. Start with dreams and then add a healthy dose of realism as to what you can afford as well as what you are prepared to maintain over time. Do draw up plans that you can refer back to as well as developing lists of plants required. An occasional impulse buy can be more easily and attractively incorporated than twenty similar purchases. While not a rigid rule odd numbers of plants are generally more attractive even numbers when planted. John Brookes called gardens an “ephemeral art form”. Last winter’s cold weather and ice storms changed many gardens. This was hard in that treasured trees and shrubs were badly damaged and some of these as well as perennials did not revive in the spring. On the glass half full side it also gave many of us unique opportunities to rethink what we were doing in our gardens. Locally Master Gardeners is a small group whose focus is naturally gardens but not only their own. They provide advice to some public gardens as well as individual gardeners as community volunteers. They provide advice to gardeners around problems and plant choices using a variety of venues including these columns. Some of the other venues are always included at the end of these same columns. We advise people on their gardens regarding design and plant, tree and shrub choices. We very much focus on working with the natural landscape as opposed to dramatic changes. We also focus on what people want from their garden spaces be it more privacy, more colour, native plants and even areas to sit and watch their garden grow. An important issue is interest and ability to provide ongoing maintenance. Low maintenance and good garden design can pair successfully. Whatever approaches you choose always remember to enjoy the process as well as the end product. Gardens are meant to enrich our lives not overwhelm them. Watching the natural world is currently in vogue as a way of increasing your sense of well being so enjoy the newly recognized benefits of watching your garden and its inhabitants. If you have a gardening question, send it to askamastergardener@xplornet.co m or meet Master Gardeners at Canadian Tire, Saturdays and Sundays, from 10 to 1 until the end of June.

County campers advance in leadership program Local youth benefit from Tim Hortons June 4 Camp Day fundraising efforts Jason Parks

Picton Legion Branch 78 In The Lounge

Staff writer

Good coffee and healthy dose of community spirit are helping two local youths attend leadership camp in Manitoba this summer. The action at Picton's Tim Hortons was steady Wednesday morning as the restaurant took part in the 40th annual Camp Day festivities, a day where 100 per cent of the proceeds from coffee sales go to the Tim Horton Children's Foundation. The event is the largest fundraiser of the THCF which administers several initiatives including the popular camp program that features s Last year, Camp Day raised over $11.8 million and helped send over 17,000 children to one of six THCF camps in Canada and the United States. While that's great news globally, it's important note locally Picton's go-to coffee hot spot has sent county campers to THCF camps for the past two decades. “With not having a camp right in our back door, some people might think we are supporting children from other communities but the truth is, for the last 20 years, we have sponsored two children per year from our community,” Massey told the Gazette. “Forty children have gone to camp thanks to the customers in Prince Edward County.” Two of the those young campers have been recognized by the THCF and been promoted to the youth leadership program. Blaine Swackhammer and Amanda Wade are in year three and year four of a fiveyear program that focuses on leadership and life skills development and will be part of the first ever class attending a brand new leadership camp in Manitoba later this summer. Swackhammer said the week-long course teaches students in such a such a way that it seems more like fun and games than personal development. Wade agrees. “It's been really fun, but it's preparing you in a fun way for your future,” she said. Massey said upon completion of the program, graduates will have an opportunity to pursue bursaries and scholarships through the THCF for postsecondary education. While Swackhammer and Wade will travel by air to Manitoba, local youth sponsored by Picton Tim Hortons will attend camp in either Parry Sound, On or Quyon, Quebec.

“This is an excellent project and I'm glad we could move forward on this,” said Turpin. “The quicker we can do this, approve this, Nautical can get on their way (the better) — it's going to help open up that whole area and create some impetus for development in that area.” The report says the municipality tapped G.D. Jewell Engineering Inc. to examine servicing options for the McFarland master plan. That examination found that in order to develop the master plan in its entirety external service upgrades are required. “The Nautical site plan

was developed in concert with the Jewell servicing analysis, and is consistent with their report,” the report says. “In order for the Nautical lot to be sold and site development to proceed, construction of some initial aspects of the overall servicing is required (road, water, storm, sewer). Nautical has agreed to construct this initial public infrastructure works as part of their work in exchange for development/connection charges credits.” The Nautical development will be constructed in two phases to address the lack of capacity. The first phase will include 88 units, then, before further construction can take place, the new infrastructure will be required. The Jewell report concluded the existing water main from County Rd. 49 is adequate for the development, but that a second 200 millimetre diameter water main would eventually be needed for the site to ensure proper fire flow and pressure when the lands are fully developed. The Jewell report also found the sanitary system servicing the east end of Picton and the McFarland site has limited capacity remaining and has old and inefficient pumping operations. Additionally, the Jewell report found any further development on the McFarland lands past Phase 1 of the Nautical plan would require sewer and pump station upgrades. “Their analysis has also demonstrated that an opportunity exists to service the existing vacant development lands in this area as contemplated by the new Picton-Hallowell secondary plan,” the report says. “Once the new Picton-Hallowell secondary plan is approved a new Master servicing environmental assessment should be undertaken to identify and design the required infrastructure improvements for the development of this area.” The report says the Jewell report estimates the cost of “off-site” works needed to service the Nautical lot and further lands at $1.4 million. “The sale of the lands, development charges and connection charge revenues for Nautical Phase 1 will total $795,000 towards offsetting this cost,” the report says. “The remainder of the initial servicing costs ($605,000) will be reimbursed from other development of the lands including Nautical Phase 2.” Councillor Alec Lunn didn't support the agreement. He said he believes the municipality is contributing too much too soon. “I've never been satisfied with how much we're spending up front,” he said.

PECI students learn about possible consequences of risk-taking behaviour through PARTY Thompson shares difficult memories of 2013 car accident with peers Jason Parks

Staff writer

It was discovered, like these thing commonly are, through anonymous and vague social media posts. “Thoughts and prayers.” “Can't believe this is happening.” “Thinking of you.” The late May sun had finally broken through passing rain showers that morning when these posts started popping up on Twitter and Facebook. Soon, this scribe and the entire Prince Edward County community would be reminded of the fragility of our precious youth in sobering way (as if there is any other way to be reminded about such things). Another young county man had been involved in a serious car wreck. Speed and wet road conditions would ultimately put Tailer Thompson face-to-face with his own mortality on County road four on the morning of May 29, 2013. Thankfully for Thompson and his friends and family, the affable young man was spared where other young men from this community haven't been. Thompson's story was just

part of the message Wednesday as two dozen PECI students took part in the annual Prevent Alcohol and Risk-Related Trauma in Youth (PARTY) program organized by the Quinte Healthcare Corporation (QHC) and presented with assistance from Hastings-Quinte Paramedics Services, Prince Edward County Fire Department and Prince Edward County OPP. The program puts students into situations so they can see the possible outcomes of risk-taking behaviour. A mock crash, visits to the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital operating room, the local OPP detachment, a local morgue/funeral home and, finally, a heartfelt presentation from Thompson and another member of the community that wasn't as lucky were all part of the proceedings. “The smart decisions are not always the most popular ones,” QHC's Vicki Cournyea explained to students, imploring them to listen to their gut and that voice in their head that tells them they are in a bad situation. Thompson might have thought he was in a bad situation while he was a rear seat passenger in a car travelling north of PECI last year.

But like most youth feeling their oats, “everyone thinks they are invincible and nothing bad is going to happen to them,” Thompson said. The crash could've been far more worse as the car was full of young men just prior to departing. “We were just pulling out of the parking lot at PECI when one of them said 'Stop, I've got an assignment to hand in' and two of my friends got out and went back into the school,” Thompson remembers. “And if you've seen pictures of the accident, that side of the car where they were sitting was completely caved in where it backed into the telephone pole.” Thompson was spared but not without catastrophic injuries. The young man broke 17 ribs, had both lungs collapse, ruptured his spleen and had a contusion on his spinal cord as well as a host of other fractures and injuries. Ironically, just as local paramedics and firefighters were finishing up the 2013 PARTY presentation, they got the call to go to the genuine article just a few kilometres away. Thompson would be induced into a coma to protect him from internal injures and further damaging his spinal cord. Months of painful and slow recovery at Kingstonarea hospitals would follow including a long period in a wheelchair. “I had my full year planned, was going to graduate, take a year off, save money for school and go to Loyalist to pursue corrections next fall,” Thompson told the students. “Obviously, I don't work right now, I'm not fit to. I haven't made the decision yet but I'll probably not be

able to go into Corrections because I won't be able to pass the physical test due to my injuries.” The accident also disrupted his family as they supported him through the ordeal including his mother who rarely left Thompson's side and put her career on hold to make sure her son was cared for every minute of every day. If one of them should find themselves in a similar situation, Thompson told the junior PECI students to speak up and be firm with the driver to slow down. “Just tell them to stop driving fast. That two seconds of an adrenaline rush versus the next 20 years of your life in rehab is not worth it. I was two centimetres away from being paralyzed,” he added. While Thompson will continue to get better and slowly improve, Shane Valyear won't

have that opportunity. Valyear's mother Hazel Lloyst told the students of her son, a bright, fun loving and happy-go-lucky man who was in his first year at Loyalist College in the early 1990s Valyear was working at East Side Mario's and finished a shift on wintery Thursday evening prior to going to a house party. Lloyst said her son got into a confrontation with a friend that was going to drive while intoxicated and got into a tussle with him. Lloyst said Shane started home, crossing a set of double train tracks to make time. Her son must have been feeling bad about the way things were left with his friend and started back to the house. Valyear saw a train coming one way, heard the horns, thought he had time and started to cross but was fatally struck by a train coming from

the other way. “He was killed instantly so he didn't suffer, thankfully,” Lloyst recalled through tears and emotion. “You don't get hit by a train without there being a lot of damage...The only good thing was that his face was left OK and his body was intact.” She would see her son in the morgue and spent an hour with his body, at first believing the heat from her body would bring him back. “Our family was shattered. His brothers, the parents and grandparents ...something like this stays with you forever, you are a changed person” Lloyst said. “So when your parents seem hard on you and they ask you not to do thing that you think might be fun, think about this,” Lloyst said, motioning to Thompson. “As awful as it is, at least your parents still have you.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Ontario can’t lose with Decision to defer zoning doesn’t make sense its upcoming choices on election day

June 12 is going to be tough for voters, in so many ways! Why June 12? It’s when the good times begin… at least in Ontario and I can hardly wait for the polls to open. Figure it out for yourself. Three serious parties are fielding candidates on that day’s provincial election— the Liberals, the Progressive Conservatives and the NDP. After carefully going over their platforms I have made these discoveries: n The Liberals endorse full employment, efficient government, no new taxes, cleaner than pristine air and so much money in retirement; you won’t be able to spend it all and will be forced to leave some for the kids. n The PCs are in favour of prosperity, low taxes, balanced budgets, development of our natural resources, clean air and jobs for everyone. n The NDP are backing an expanding economy, consideration for the taxpayer, help for family care-givers, a more pristine environment, lower hydro bills and the best possible use of our natural resources. So how can we go wrong? No matter which party we vote for, we’re in for a terrific four years. Now… like you, I was a little skeptical at first. It seemed just too good to be true. However, after examining the speeches delivered, with close-up television views of the earnestness on the faces of the speakers these past few weeks, my doubts have been dispelled. Just consider this; not one candidate for office is in favour of poorer health facilities or outcomes, inferior education, pollution, nepotism, waste of tax-payer’s money, ignoring the debt, or foreign ownership of our industry.

Not one! So you can imagine the dilemma facing Ontario voters. If we choose the Grits, we’re in for a golden era of business, culture, marvellous roads and green transportation, with all the excitement we can handle. If we choose the Tories, we’re going to have fat paycheques, great roads, not another bird killed by windmills and a countryside clean enough to eat off. And if we choose the Dippers, our schools will be tops, our workers will drive (made in Ontario) new cars, and our farms will grow two crops a year. What a problem! How can a voter possibly pick between Wonder Woman, Snow White and Moses? It just isn’t fair, especially to the other provinces. Why should we be destined to live in a land of milk and money while other Canadians slave away, beset with mortgage payments, rush-hour traffic and the common cold? Can you imagine the poor devils in Arnolds Cove, Souris, Qu’Appelle, Canmore or Bella Coola, up to their hips in bills and trouble? And here we’ll be, after the election, drinking martinis, ordering electric golf carts and planning winter vacations in the South of Spain, Hawaii or New Zealand. I think I will get up early the next day, just to see if the sun really does rise out of Queen’s Park.

Over the past four years I have watched the County council vote on many issues that have come before them. The vote by nine councillors to defer Hillier Creek Estates Winery's request to alter its zoning to enable it to host weddings and special events in their reconstructed barn was very perplexing to me. When the application went before a committee of council last week former County councillor Peggy Burris, some neighbours and the local federation of agriculture urged council to turn it down. Burris commented "How long before natural farming is impacted by HCE?" The fact that I found extremely troubling in that 100-minute meeting was that not one councillor asked owner Kemp Stewart one question about the number of jobs (20) that Hillier Creek had created or made mention of the winery's contribution to the tax base. Not one. The nine councillors chose to defer the request even though Hillier Creek

Estates’ application meets all the planning testsprovincial policy statements and the County's official plan. In the four years that the winery has operated there has not been one complaint to the Municipality. If council does reject the application they will most likely be subjected to a very expensive appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board. There is a good chance council would lose this appeal. By deferring the application and not rejecting it council has temporarily put an immediate stop to any future events in the barn at Hillier Creek. This has to be extremely disappointing to anyone who has planned special events such as weddings and anniversaries. Amber and Kemp Stewart have offered their winery as a venue for the Grapes of Wrath extreme endurance event taking place in September. This event is in support of the Canadian Cancer Society, Trenton and PECMH Foundations to purchase much-needed medical equipment. I suspect that the event will

I think that the reason that our local hospital was named No. 1 across Ontario is because of the great rapport that the physcians and staff have. I only wish that the County council had been half as vocal as Amber in challenging Quinte Healthcare with respect to the numerous service and bed cuts that took place at our local hospital. You probably wonder why I write about the Hillier Creek Winery application deferrel and Amber's role in the county's medical community in the same article. My point is that Amber and Kemp Stewart have given back to this community in spades and County council did not even have the courtesy to address the fact that they had created 20 muchneeded jobs in this county with more to come if the application had been approved. I believe that this is a community that helps each other. But then, Amber and Kemp Stewart figured that out a long time ago.

Recently Hillier Creek hosted a fundraising dinner for Wounded Warriors Canada helping to raise $35,000 for Canada's exmilitary servicemen and women. Some of you may not be aware but one of the owners of Hillier Creek Winery is one of our local physcians, Dr. Amber Hayward Stewart. I will just refer to her as Amber because that is what most people call her. She is a family physician who took over Dr. Ken Eccles practice about three years ago. When Dr. Forester and Dr. Lett left the county due to the many service cuts by the Quinte Healthcare Corporation at PECM hospital Amber absorbed their 800 patients into her already very busy practice so that these patients would have a family doctor. She also works many shifts in Picton and Trenton hospital e m e r g e n c y departments and is head of the emergency department in Trenton.

Rower, golfer, two horsemen selected to comprise county’s class of 2014 this fall

Four more to be inducted into Hall of Fame Jason Parks

Staff writer

When it was first envisioned, there was a worry by some the Prince Edward County Sports Hall of Fame would become an exclusive shrine devoted to those that chased a vulcanized rubber disc around a sheet of frozen water. But that worry no longer lingers and for further proof of the diversity of Prince Edward County athletes, one would only need to look at the latest addition to the Hall's growing collection of legendary sporting figures. A pair of renowned horsemen, Chris Storms and Reg Boily, an inspirational Olympic legend Brian Price, and a superior amateur golfer, Mike Pero, that had a promising professional career will enter the hall this fall at the annual enshrinement and banquet at the Wellington and District Community Centre. Hall of Fame organizer and Nomination Committee Chair Hugh Parliament beamed with pride Tuesday morning as he unwrapped the third induction class of the Prince Edward County Sports Hall of Fame. “These are four very fine individuals,” Parliament told the Gazette Tuesday. “It's so nice to honour these men and their families and we have a really elite, diverse class.” Price, an Ameliasburgh native, was the coxswain of Canada's Olympic medalwinning men's eight rowing team in 2008 (gold) and 2012 (silver) and also was a member of several world championship and world cup gold medal entries. Price retired from rowing in the fall of 2013, making him eligible for induction and Parliament said the 31 yea rold's story is great message to the youth of Prince Edward County that they should stick with their dreams-no matter what gets in their way. It's well documented Price was stricken with leukaemia as a child and the sickness stunted his growth. Still wanting to take part in competitive sports, Price

discovered the position of coxswain in the sport of competitive rowing and would one day be the best in the world. “If he hadn't become sick, he wouldn't be where he is today. It's an inspirational story and it goes to show there is never a roadblock you can't get around,” Parliament said. For the second straight year, a locally developed linksman will enter the hall. Pero follows in the footsteps of the late Louis Garrison as a golfer who honed his craft at the Picton Golf and Country Club before going on to grander stages. “I didn't realize the calibre of golfer Mike Pero was until I started looking at some of these outstanding accomplishments,” Parliament said. Down at the local track, Pero would start out by winning his first Picton junior championship at the tender age of 12 and would win the title three more times. Ontario Junior and Amateur titles would follow. The PECI alum would go on to attend the University of Miami in Ohio and play for the Red Hawks golf team in the late 1980s, capturing several NCAA tournament wins.

Wellington offers uplifting course for women Half-marathon competitors like encouraging race atmosphere adaM BraMBurgEr

Staff writer

Some 746 women took to the streets of Wellington Saturday morning under sunny skies to walk or run their way to personal goals on the course of the Wellington Women's Half Marathon. Of the 168 participating in the half-marathon competition, Kingston's Aileen Nutt was the fastest as she crossed the finish line on the C.M.L. Snider track in 1:28:02.9, ahead of fellow Kingston native Christine Coulter, who finished in 1:35:57.9. Leanne Soden of Belleville rounded out the podium. In the half-a-half marathon event, last year's half-marathon champion Erin Gregory of Napanee captured first place with a time of 0:42:18.7 ahead of Belleville natives Heather Giffin (0:45:38.8) and Maya Milne (0:50:10.3) respectively. Finding the podium

wasn't the lone motivating factor for many of the women on the course, however. For one family, in particular, the marathon was an occasion that allowed three generations of a county family to return home and take part in one event together. Four years ago during the first Wellington halfmarathon, Janet DeMille and her daughter Mallory

took part in the run. A year later, Janet was able to recruit her sister Cathy VanderVliet to come down from Oakville to take part and this time, they were able to convince their mother, Ann Kempenaar, that she should be on the course too. "My daughter and I have both been doing it since the first year," said Janet. "My son is one of the firefighters

helping on the course, so it's a real family thing. The run is really well organized and it's nice to be around people who are so encouraging. I've been recruiting." Vandervliet said her first experience was so much fun, she wanted to come back home and experience more. Even university couldn't keep Mallory away as she attends Wilfred Laurier, but says there's nothing like home when it comes to scenery. "I live in Waterloo and I go to school there, but the county is the best place to run," she said. "You can't have runs like this in the city." Mallory noted she had a personal best this year, doing the half-a-half in under an hour. Her grandmother chimed in "Me too" after finishing just over an hour later by walking the course. "It was a good walk, and I'm not tired at all," said Kempenaar. The Demorestville native said many of the women walking and running near her as well as the many course volunteers were friendly and helpful, which went a long way.

Three Panthers qualify for OFSAA championships Warren earns silver at East Regionals Jason Parks

Staff writer

A total of three athletes will represent PECI at the OFSAA Track and Field Championships this weekend in Mississauga. The largest track and field meet in North America should serve as a pretty imposing stage for Keneil Warren, Trista McKeeArlidge and Cody Woodward as PECI's contingent is fully comprised of midget (Grade 9) athletes this year. Warren had a great showing in Ottawa at the East Regionals last week, grabbing silver in the 100-metre event (11.91), missing out on a gold medal by just threetenths of a second. The freshman backed that effort up with a fourth -place showing in the 200-metre dash, (24.08), missing out on the podium by two- tenths of a second. Woodward came fourth in the midget boys discus, putting forth his best effort of the 2014 season into a 35.23 metre toss. McKee-Arlidge qualified for the OFSAA Championships in the 100-metre blind (28.85) and the 800metre blind (6.18.68) runs. Bell said all the baby Panthers were able to offer seasonal bests at a meet which

saw the top athletes from eastern Ontario. Warren responded well to being challenged for the first time this season, especially in the 100-metre. “He was out of the blocks great and had a lead at the 50-metre mark,” Bell recalled. “He tailed off just a little bit at the end and that was enough to get nipped at the line.” In all races prior, Warren has been able to blast out from the blocks and cruise, letting up in the last 5-10 metres while still winning the race. “He's a little sore but we are hoping by Friday's 100metre heat he will be loose,” Bell offered. Woodward has had an outstanding throwing season and will continue it this weekend. “He's definitely put a lot of hard work into this season and he’s highly coachable. He's been getting stronger every week and that's the goal to keep making these improvements and keep qualifying for the next stage,” Bell said. McKee-Arlidge has also been coming on strong in her last few races. “She's looked better every time she goes out,” The coach added. “Her 100-metre was much better and (support runner) Lyndsey Corbin is doing a great job coaching and working with her.”

They moved on to the OFSAA East championships in Whitby this week and kept rolling with a win in their first game. (Submitted photo)

Panthers win first game of OFSAA competition 4-1 AdAm BrAmBurger

Staff writer

The PECI Baseball Panthers improved their winning streak to 13 straight games with a big start at OFSAA in Whitby Wednesday. The Panthers beat the third-seeded Maxwell Heights Mustangs from Oshawa 4-1 on the strength of a big day on the mound from Bob Wilson, who threw six and a third innings, allowing one run. “Bob Wilson pitched six innings of shutout baseball. He was dominant and he did not walk a single batter,” said coach Matt Ronan. Wilson approached his 75pitch limit, which would have made him ineligible to pitch tomorrow, so the Panthers got him as close to the limit as possible as he allowed a hit and a walk in the seventh inning.

Given the count, Ronan elected to turn over a 4-0 lead to Matt Gallo, who due to major league substitution rules basically came in cold, save warming up from his regular position at third base to start the seventh inning. Gallo hit one Mustang and walked another before finding his groove to strike out the side and preserve the opening win. “There was a little drama there. Matty Gallo was Johnny Drama, but he pulled us through,” said Ronan. Offensively, the Panthers got their bats going in the second inning as Phil Seguin and Gavin Ronan got early singles. They and Gallo each managed to cross the plate with Kyle Gould and Pat Macpherson delivering RBI singles with two outs. Gavin Ronan would score again in the seventh, getting on base with a single and al-

lowing Gallo to come through with a double to score him. Ronan said the things the Panthers did right to win the Bay of Quinte with a 12-0 mark, including a 6-0 win over St. Theresa in last Wednesday’s final still applied to get the win. “Pitching and defence carried us. Gould was very

three generations Janet DeMille ran in Wellington alongside her daughter Mallory, sister Cathy VanderVliet, and mother Ann Kempenaar on the halfmarathon course Saturday. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

Wellington run a stepping stone in lifestyle change

RACE, from page 22

"You meet new friends out there," she said. "It really makes the time go by fast." Entering the C.M.L. Snider school yard, it was also evident how much support the women had collectively as nearly every participant was cheered as she came across the finish line and most had delegations of family and friends to meet with celebratory hugs after the race. One of the biggest contingents might have been for Meggan Dunlop, who threw her arms up into the air after finishing her half-marathon at about the 2:45 mark. Her family and friends had a handful of witty signs to display, while Dunlop gracefully posed for photos in a Wonderwoman ensemble she said was befitting of the race she had completed. "Anybody who can finish a half-marathon is a Wonderwoman," she said. A former Picton resident who now lives in Stirling, Dunlop's motivations for completing Sunday's race were compelling. A year ago, she says, she weighed between 65-70 pounds more than she does now and she readily admits "I couldn't run to my mailbox." Dunlop learned about a charitable organization called I Run 4 through her church that pairs able bodied individuals with disabled people who can't run. It gives runners motivation to run and they can dedicate their steps to their partners to bring them hope and encouragement. "I run for Brian. Each step is dedicated to him," Dunlop said of a young, autistic boy from New York State whom she keeps in communication with throughout her training and her races. She pointed to

her shoelaces, upon which were Brian's name spelled out in beads and a Bible verse. Dunlop said Brian shared a medal she won in a recent race at show-and-tell and indicated his mother said her running has given him something to be excited about. The program has also paid huge dividends in Dunlop's own life. "I run at least five days a week," she said. "My kids have started to say 'When are you going for a run?' as opposed to 'Are you going for a run?' It's a whole different lifestyle." Dunlop said she kept increasing her goal to run a little farther until the halfmarathon became her ultimate goal. Training around the Oak Hills at home meant the county terrain would prove little difficulty for her and ultimately, Dunlop said the hardest part of the race was making it around the half-track the last time leading up to the finish line. She said the race was an experience to savour. "I had no problems. I was enjoying my surroundings the entire way," she said. "It's a woman's marathon and you have a feeling like you're a part of something. It was so encouraging along the way. You could feel this great amount of sportsmanship." To join in the celebration, Dunlop welcomed her brother from Mississauga, her best friend, her family, and a good number of people from her church in Stirling for an early Saturday wake-up call. She knows, too, that Brian will be cheering when he sees the pictures and hears the stories of the day. And maybe, Dunlop says, the successful half-marathon will help her push the bar even higher. "Maybe next it will be a full marathon in Picton this fall," she said.

Development Dukes start strong

The Qunite region entry in the new summer Central Development Hockey League, backed by the Wellington Dukes, have won four games and lost two in a league of nine teams run by Junior A operators from eastern Ontario. Starting May 10, the Dukes beat the Flyers 4-1, then edged the Canadians the next day 5-4 before falling to the Raiders 3-1 May 16. The Dukes again beat the Flyers 1-0 May 23, before

edging the Cougars 3-2 the next day. Last Saturday, the Dukes fell to the Hawks 3-0. Stats for two additional games have not been reported on the league web site. Quinte Red Devils AAA products Austin Labelle and Shaw Boomhower lead the team with five points each, while the Deseronto Storm’s Brock Tufts and Quinte’s Jack Moore each won twice in goal. -Staff

DEATHS

Dr. Walter Joly Clegg Stevenson, M.A., M.B., B.Ch., M.F.O.M. (RCPI), M.P.H. (Harvard). Fellow of the Aerospace Medical Association, Fellow of the Aeronautics and Space Institute, Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons, Ireland, Consultant Physician for Aviation, Occupational and Preventative Medicines, age 92, and with his loving family at his side, passed away peacefully at The Moncton Hospital, Moncton, NB on Thursday, May 22, 2014 following a brief illness. Born in Dublin, Ireland, he was the son of the late Walter Clegg and Hilda (Davis) Stevenson. Beloved husband for fifty-eight years to Maisie (Ann Mary, nee Kiernan). Loving father to Siobhan and Aisling (Chiasson). Admired and loved father-in-law to Michel Chiasson and grandfather to Charlotte, Chloe and Lily Chiasson. Adored master to Monty. Uncle to Sabastian, Conrad, Natalie (Sherrard) and Simone, as well as uncle to his life long friend, Russell Jackson’s son, Bryan Jackson. In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by daughter, Sinead and son, Damien; and brothers, John and David. Joly trained as a pilot with the RAF during World War II and flied sorties out of Burma. Following the war (and like his father before him) he studied medicine at Trinity College (Dublin) and graduated in 1953. In 1959 he completed a Masters of Public Health at Harvard University's School of Public Health. Joly continued to work for the Royal Canadian Air Force until August 1975, his specialty and passion was aviation medicine. After retiring with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, Joly went on to a second career in occupational medicine working for a number of public and private organizations. He also worked as a special intern in family practice at the Toronto Hospital for Sick Children and at the Sunnybrook Medical Centre. Up until his death, he remained active in his field, attending conferences and keeping up with the latest research. In his off hours, Joly loved working his farm in Picton, Ontario, spending time with his family, watching motor races (he raced in the Monte Carlo rally in 1953) and working out at the gym. His approach to medicine was preventive: work out daily and everything in moderation. The quality of his life and his health to the end was a testament to those values he held dear. He was a man of remarkable dignity. He was a man of rare honor. His spirit lives on in all who knew and loved him. Visitation and Prayer Service was held at Fergusons Funeral Home, 1657 Mountain Road, Moncton (506-858-1995) on Monday, May 26, 2014, conducted by Rev. Laurence Quin-Morris. Interment, Cherry Valley, Ontario. In Joly’s memory, donations to Canadian Mental Health Association or the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated by the family.

Suddenly at the Belleville General Hospital on June 2nd, 2014

Joseph Robert Stevens

at the age of 89. Joe was predeceased by his wife of 47 years and his one true love Violet Pauline Jacques. He was the best of fathers to his 5 children, Joanne Morden (Gary), Nancy Horlock (John), Bob Stevens (Laurie), Bonnie Stevens and Jim Stevens (Carol). He was a wonderful and proud grandfather and great grandfather to Dan, Jason, Travis, Abigail, Hailey, Madison and Luca Morden, David and Joe Horlock, Lauren Zimmerman, Jennifer, April and Taylor Stevens, Tara, Jack and Violet Guscott, Matthew and Jordan Maguire, Dana, Jake and Elijah Stevens. Joe lived a full and happy life. He was self-reliant and a hard worker who over the years wore many hats. These included WWII Veteran, Scarborough Utilities Crew Foreman, Queens Hotel Proprietor in Elmwood, ON, Fishing Camp Operator in Wellington, ON, Excavating Contractor and Ministry of Transport Snow Plow Operator, to name a few. Joe kept time for fun too and enjoyed hunting and fishing trips with his friends and his brother Tom. First and foremost he was a family man and enjoyed camping, cookouts and card parties with his family. Joe and Vi started the annual family tradition of maple syrup at their woodlot on Chase Road. There was never a shortage of love and laughter in Joe and Vi’s home. Joe was a friendly man who would strike up a conversation with everyone. He had a great sense of humour and was quite witty. He was a storyteller and was always in a good mood. He was a pleasure to spend time with and will be missed by all who had the privilege to know him. He was a true gentleman. To respect Joe’s wishes cremation has taken place and he will be laid to rest in a private graveside ceremony attended by his family.

County Kids of Steel triathletes push limts for better times on course Picton competitor showed sportsmanship putting sister’s experience ahead of results adam BramBurger Staff writer

The eighth annual County Kids of Steel Triathlon Sunday was a time for pushing limits as close to 300 young competitors braved the warmest weather in recent memory to compete. Liam Garvin, of Belleville, the champion among youth aged 16-17 with a total time of 39:25 stressed the importance of belief in finishing a race so gruelling when he came up to accept his medal. “The biggest thing I can tell you guys is don’t let anybody tell you that you can’t do something,” he said. “If you have a dream, go after it. You’ll surprise yourself.” Garvin also noted that h finds himself motivated before races with a quote, which reads “The best pace is suicide pace and today is a fine day to die.” On this day, the perseverance paid off for him as he noted he was trailing runner-un Zachary Birt, of Trenton, and third-place finisher Griffin Bastedo in the swimming and biking portions of the event, but he pushed on to overtake them in the run. “You both had me worried for a time,” he said, while congratulating the stiff competition he found. Though the County Kids of Steel had its usual podium celebration for the top three finishers of each sex in each age category, it also presented two awards for champions of a different sort, the Terri-Lee Theakston Memorial Spirit Awards. Named after an early race captain who lost her battle with cancer over five years ago, co-race director Stephanie Roth explained the awards go to athletes whose contribution can’t be measured simply by their times. Roth had little trouble presenting one of the awards to Lauren Lavictoire, an 11year-old from Belleville who had little problem pushing her competitors to do better. “It didn’t matter if she came in first or last, she gave everyone a high five everywhere. She had two hands in the air as she finished and she jumped and said “I did it!” Upon receiving her award, Lavictoire said the key thing she remembered was that it wasn’t as much where she placed during the day that was important. “Even if I was first or last, I don’t really care about that as longa as I’m having fun and enjoying myself,” she said. When it came time to present the other spirit award, Roth couldn’t get through the words without crying. This year, 12-year-old Picton resident Luc Mayfield asked if he could help his younger sister Sophia race. Sophia, 7, lives with from cerebral palsy and could not participate on her own. In the pool, Luc Mayfield swam while his sister balanced on an innertube, which he dragged by his foot through the lanes to compete. His bicycle had a hitch behind it to help pull Sophia along, then when Luc finally made it on foot, he was able to push his sister across the finish line. She was smiling the entire time.

The whole idea was Luc’s own and he made it a reality with the support of the race organizers, volunteers, and their parents. Co-race director Michelle Pothier handed out that award to a large round of applause from the spectators, volunteers, and competitors still gathered at the finish line area. “I don't know how many 12-year-old boys would do that for their little sister. This is amazing, said Pothier. “All of the competitors were respecting them. This is the first time we've done this and we would definitely do it again... Luc, good job buddy.” Results can be found at www.chiptimeresults.com. The winners of the various age categories are as follows... n Boys aged 6-7 — 1. William McFadden, Peterborough (10:39), 2. Rowan Colby, Picton (11:15), 3. Otto French, Kingston (11:24). n Girls aged 6-7 — 1. Claire Allen, Kingston (12:29), 2. Aynsley Grant, Toronto (12:30), 3.

Turning pro, Pero qualified for the Canadian PGA tour and lost the 1992 Payless Open in Victoria, BC in a three man playoff and would later start some PGA tour events such as the Buick Open and the Canadian Open.

At one time or another, Pero held or does hold six competitive and non-competitive course records at gold clubs across North America. Pero would step away form the competitive world of professional golf for personal reasons but does tee it up from time-to-time recre-

ationally. Much like power boating did in the early 1990s, the sport of harness racing is retreating in the Prince Edward County sports vernacular but the Sports Hall of Fame is taking the opportunity to honour a pair of mover and shakers in the Standardbred world.

Chris Storms got on the sulky at the age of 16 and never looked back, driving in over 7,000 races in a 22 year career. Not only a top driver, Storms was an owner and trainer and raced many of his horses all over Eastern North America. A driver of such high quality, One day in the mid1970s, Storms raced in Montreal's $100,000 Beaver Pace Stakes Race in the morning and then flew to Toronto to take part in a $50,000 Ontario Sire Stakes Gold Race in the afternoon. “And he won them both,” Parliament stated. Storms is closely associated with Kojak, having driven and trained Canada's top three-year-old pacing colt in 1973 with the horse collecting over $300,000 in its seven year career. While the late Rejean (Reg) Boily bred, broke, trained and drove hundreds of horses at his Conseconarea farm, The Quebec City native will always be known for R Yankee Wann, the fastest Canadian bred horse in 1969 and 1970. The horse, which was owned by Consecon's Campbell Wannamaker, held the Canadian pacing record 1:57.1 and sired a host of top end standardbred horses and was driven exclusively by Boily. Boily was driver of the year at the Kawartha Downs, the Quinte Exhibition and the Kingston Park Raceway and racked up in excess of 1,250 career wins that includes a rare six-forsix outing in Belleville one Friday evening. At age 53 and still in the prime of his driving career, Boily was killed in a farming accident at his home. “I can tell you, the Boily family was quite happy to hear Chris was being inducted and likewise for Chris. He was really happy about Rejean being inducted. They more than likely drove against each other in the 1970s but there is a lot of respect between them,” Parliament said. The Prince Edward County Sports Hall of Fame will induct theses sporting legends into the hall in October at a gala event on a yet-to-determined date.

Spring squash tournament raises $1,500 for courts at PEFAC Three of province’s top players stage exhibition matches during fundraising event, while field of 32 players compete in four divisions

A year ago when the Prince Edward Fitness and Aquatics Centre (PEFAC) was looking for a way to improve its squash courts, the idea of an annual tournament was hatched. Recently, the fitness facility welcomed 32 players from across Ontario to Picton for its second annual Spring Squash Tournament. Some participants came from as far away as Toronto and Ottawa, while several also joined the event from right here in Prince Edward County. The event was deemed a success as the chair of the tournament’s organizing committee Pete Gamble noted that more than $1,500 was raised from this year’s event to help with future court renovations. “It was a great event for spectators and participants,” said Gamble. “Thanks to all the volunteers and PEFAC for t heir support. Everything came together like magic. We are going to take a small break and think about the next one.” The tournament featured some top-notch squash action as some of Ontario’s best players, David Sly, Johnny Wilson, and Richard Yendell took part in some exhibition games that offered some excitement for all those who attended. Sly exclaimed that the

local tournament has real soul, much to the delight of the organizers. In the competitive brackets of the tournament, Vinay Lodha of Ottawa prevailed in the top-ranked A division, while Glen Crowley of Bloomfield captured the B Division crowd on his local court. Kashil Riaz of Brockville would take home the C Division competition, while Tony Bento of Kingston brought home first place among the entries in D Division. PEFAC board of directors chair Bill Halman congratulated the group of people who worked to make the event a success, noting their efforts are a great example of what volunteers can do.

SUMMER CAMPS

In other PEFAC news, the facility is now accepting registrations for its annual summer day camp program, which will run from July 2 to Aug. 29. The program features a wide range of activities and chances for its participants aged 3-12 to meet new friends and to have fun. For more information about the program, please contact general manager Meloni Crandall at meloni@pefac.ca or call the facility at 613-476-7776. -Contributed

Making shots The Prince Edward Fitness and Aquatics Centre was recently home to some high-end squash action during its second annual Spring squash Tournament. The event was originally considered as a fundraiser to help with current and future renovations and maintenance on the facility’s squash courts. (Submitted photo)
