Canada C3 voyage makes its first stop in Picton harbour Reconciliation a major focus during 150-day coastline journey ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

Picton was a fitting port for the first stop in the Canada C3 expedition.

As the former Coast Guard icebreaker moored in Picton harbour, Friday, its passengers made their way ashore in smaller vessels, possibly reminiscent of the pioneers who settled this region around the time of the American Revolution.

Mohawks, loyal to the British, left their homes in New York State, choosing to return to traditional Iroquois land. United Empire Loyalists followed the same route to the Bay of Quinte and the two cultures led an amicable, peaceful existence in what would become Canada 150 years ago.

Of course, the region — and Picton, in particular — also had an important role to play in that development as one of its own sons, Sir John A. Macdonald, grew up in Glenora and practiced law in town before becoming one of the key authors of Confederation and the first prime minister of the new dominion come 1867.

"I am a bit biased, but I can't think of a better place to start a conversation about the past, present, and future of Canada," Mayor Robert Quaiff said as he welcomed the travellers to the Prince Edward Yacht Club.

Expedition leader Geoff Green has local roots in the area

it would take just under 150 days to make their way around the entire coastline via the North West Passage. From then to the launch Thursday, the voyage has changed in scope and purpose.

"It has become many things, way more than we ever initially anticipated," Green said. "The themes are environment, youth engagement, reconciliation, and diversity and inclusion."

Early on in the process, Green said Canada C3 organizers learned a lot of Canadians aren't too keen on celebrating the past 150 years because of the treatment of Indigenous peoples through various atrocities including the mistreatment of Indigenous peoples through isolation and abuse via residential schools.

"It is something that is part of our history and we need to accept that. We need to honour that part of our history and make suer that going forward, we make ourselves a better country by recognizing the wrong we did," Green said. "We wanted this to become a journey of reconciliation, which it really has become. The people on the ship, the places we're going and the things we'll be doing, we hope they will be a platform for storytelling across the country so Canadians can understand the journey of reconciliation we're on."

Green said it has also become a journey of science and of education. On Friday, scientists aboard the ship were among those who visited local elementary schools to teach.

Hospital foundation celebrates solid fiscal year as it prepares for redevelopment campaign Significant boost in investment income improves bottom line; organization pays out more than $250,000 for equipment, planning in 2016-2017 ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

The Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation improved its bottom line over the past year, putting it in good financial position as the drive for a new hospital facility looms in the future.

At the foundation's annual general meeting, Thursday, the foundation's board shared that it had an excess of $298,423 in revenues over expenditures for 2016-2017, moving its total financial assets to $2,545,382 as of March 31.

While revenue didn't match last year's record totals driven by two significant bequests, the foundation still managed to bring in $755,168. A $30,000 municipal

grant to help with funding for the new hospital helped, as did $49,882 in donated securities and healthy fundraising initiatives, but a big driver was a significant boost in investment income. This year, the foundation brought in $115,484 compared to $35,502 in 2015-2016.

Lisa Thompson, a portfolio manager with RBC Wealth Management indicated she was able to take advantage of market growth and opportunities caused by volatility to drive a higher rate of return.

Chair Monica Alyea said the foundation was grateful for municipal and public support.

"This past year the foundation sought and received financial support of $30,000 from the

municipality. This had not happened previously in the foundation's history, but it is a norm going into capital projects like a hospital redevelopment. We are very grateful for this new support," she said.Community involvement has always been a part of the hospital foundation's history. Every year we strive to raise thousands of dollars and every year the people of Prince Edward County amaze us. We want to thank every one of our donors for every gift."

Foundation staff and directors were able to keep expenditures relatively unchanged while paying out $243,459 to the Quinte Healthcare Corporation (QHC) for equipment and planning commitments, some related to the recently completed Lifesaver II and Re-Imagine campaigns. The expenditures included $70,360 for scopes, $30,567 for a blood analyzer, $22,883 for a Carescape monitor, $17,962 for upgrades to pharmacy consoles, $3,777 for Touch & Go consoles. It also paid $85,000 toward the regional MRI overhaul in Belleville — the first of two installments in a $170,000 commitment, helped by a $50,000 gift from the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Auxiliary and a $50,000 gift from an individual donor.

Some $12,910 went toward a feasibility study related to the case for hospital redevelopment. An additional $7,210 was spent on upgrades in the hospi-

tal's dialysis clinic, which is a satellite clinic of Kingston General Hospital.

Beyond the finances themselves, Alyea said the past year was a productive for several reasons. Internally, the board built on its "Strategic Excellence Framework for 2016-2020" by

working on governance by updating bylaws and procedures related to financial management. Staff also developed new data reporting mechanisms with an eye to improving budget planning, while executive director Penny Rolinski introduced a new annual report format circulated in local newspapers that Alyea described as "eye-catching and concise."

The foundation welcomed four new directors as part of an open recruiting process.

Alyea said the foundation also worked externally to improve its profile.

"People know about the hospital, the hospital auxiliary, and QHC, but not necessarily about the work of the foundation," she said. "With that in mind we made a concerted effort in the past year to be more part of the community."

That came through the continuation of partnerships like the Re/Max Tee Up Fore Health Care golf tournament, the Tim Hortons Smile Cookie Campaign, and an annual wine event with the All-Canadian Wine Championship and Picton Rotary. New events like the Sugar Shack Shindig at Walt's participation in local Santa Claus parades, and the installation of a barn quilt on the hospital also helped.

According to Alyea the process leading to hospital redevelopment has led to closer ties between the foundation and QHC with each realizing the county needs a new hospital with at least the same services.

Addressing the meeting via telephone link, QHC chair Doug MacGregor expressed his gratitude for the foundation's work.

"Clearly, we've embarked together on a collaboration to raise a great deal more money for this new hospital and that's energizing us all," he said. "I'm very grateful to you for stepping up to that challenge and approaching it as professionally as you have been to properly scope out the challenge, the resources required, and how you're going to go about that exercise. I think that leadership is really evident to the community as well."

MacGregor said he was impressed service groups, and most notably, the Wellington Rotary Club were answering the call to assist.

traits of two cheeses: Gouda and Appenzeller).

Jason George of Gunn's Hill said the company has been attending the festival for the past half-dozen years, the same amount of time they have been making award winning cheeses.

George said the festival has grown in leaps and bounds. “It's really branched out year after year and it's not just cheese and wine anymore,� George said.

JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER

The weather was iffy but the cheese was sublime at the seventh annual Great Canadian Cheese Festival at the Crystal Palace and Picton fairgrounds last weekend.

All told, over 5,000 visitors stopped by for globs of Gouda, a cubes of Camembert and pieces of Provolone.

And while it stood as a cheese lovers paradise, the festival also played to the palates of those that enjoyed wine, craft beer and cider, cured meats, jams, jellies and condiments of all stripes as well as food-related goods and materials.

Exhibitors from all over Canada and attendees from all over Ontario filed into Prince Edward County for the twoday celebration that enjoyed sun-soaked skies on Saturday and wasn't hampered by steady rains on Sunday.

In fact, there was no dampening the commercial spirit of the show as sold out signs were regularly popping up at numerous stalls by early Sunday afternoon.

Francoise Briet of Malty & Hoppy Delicacy was in the midst of her first time at the festival and was amazed by the sheer volume of foot traffic lining up to sample her craft beer jellies.

“I think the biggest thing about this festival is the people have changed. There's a more refined audience that's more sophisticated and willing to try new things.

They come with the open- mind, open-palate philosophy.

Apple Falls Cider is the creation of Amelia Campbell and Matt Oskamp and if the name Campbell and apple fits together, it's because the county's premier apple grower is supplying

the fruit for the one of the region's newest and hottest craft cider companies. “This is completely Amelia's baby,� Colin Campbell told the Gazette as dozen's lined up to try out Apple Falls' Empire and Premier versions that incorporated a number of apple and pair varieties from Campbell's Orchards on Rednersville Road.

Six county students take advantage of Summer Company entrepreneurship opportunity Provincial program provides funding, mentorship to allow youth to run their own businesses ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

Six people between the ages of 18 and 29 in Prince Edward County will be running their own businesses this summer as part of the province's Summer Company program.

The program provides successful applicants $3,000 in cash each, plus support for their entrepreneurial efforts from Sandy Abbott, a consultant with the Small Business Centre, and individual mentors with experience in related fields to those they're planning to embark on before returning to school this fall.

It's the second year Abbott has worked with the program and she's seeing a boost in interest.

"Last year, we had four businesses. They were all super and successful. This year, we're now up to 10. My territory is Prince Edward, Lennox and Addington, and kind of in between. We have tow girls from Napanee, two girls from Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory, and six people from the county. They're all over the place — Fry Road, Wellington, Consecon, up

by Campbell's Orchards…"

She said many of the participants find the opportunity to work for themselves appealing.

"You can let your creative side come out. Some people want to figure out how to do it their way.

About half the people in the group have said 'I've had jobs, but I want to do something this summer I can control.'

Terra Cobb, of Wellington, was one of those people. Going into Grade 11 at PECI next year, she's already worked a number of summer jobs. While they helped her make money, she found they weren't always the most enjoyable and often, they didn't allow her to pursue her artistic pursuits.

When her mom told her about Summer Company, it seemed to fit with a goal she already had — making money by sharing henna body art.

"I was in Cuba last year on vacation. I stumbled across this guy doing henna. I had henna done before, but I never really fell in love with it until Cuba. I said, 'Oh my gosh, I should open a business.' I just really fell in love with henna and I really wanted to make other people fall in love with it."

That dream became reality when Cobb sent an e-mail application to Abbott. Within short order, she had encouragement to start.

They worked together through a business planning process Abbott

described as "ridiculously rigorous" and Cobb was being forced to think about how to make a go of it this summer.

"The business plan was 16 pages long. I've never really done paperwork like that. It's hard to come up with things that would work — like if you imagine yourself working in the market and you have to think of all those little

details like 'What if this goes wrong? What if that goes wrong?

What if my marketing doesn't work?' It's eye opening to see how much work just goes into planning it."

Finishing that work, which Abbott says even most post-secondary students need assistance with, Cobb received a $1,500 cheque for start-up expenses last Tuesday and was introduced to her mentor, Kirei Samuel, who

owns Lalaland Glass Studio near Bloomfield. While she may not be a henna artist, Samuel has over 30 years of selling her artistic works and she's done so in many of the same marketplaces Cobb will be venturing.

"I have been helping kids out since I started," she said. "It's really important to me. I do have that knowledge that there's good years and bad years and you have to understand how to ride

through them. I love to see people grow and understand what they'er doing. It was done for me, so this is just paying it forward."

Samuel has said many of the people she's mentored have gone on to mentor themselves.

She has committed to be available for two in-depth sessions with Cobb and to be available by phone and e-mail where possible.

Abbott said it's nice to have someone with expertise visiting markets as Samuel can likely offer Cobb strategies for setting up her booth and to give her direction to use time wisely on rainy days.

Walking into her meeting to start the Summer Company experience, however, Cobb had already done a lot of leg work on her own. She tried more than 55 different tubes of henna, a powdered dye from dried Lawsonia inermis plants grown in hot, dry climates. She found a reliable supplier in Toronto and ensured the product is chemical-free and meets the requirements of Hastings-Prince Edward Public Health.

Cobb has done market research, remembering the pricing she saw in Cuba, at Disney World, and at Canada's Wonderland, as well as a few markets she's been at. Her goal was to develop a competitive pricing strategy that would also allow her to reach as many potential clients as possible.

COMMENTARY

Preventative investments can have an incredible impact over time

THE numbers presented to the Rotary Club of Picton this week in support of counselling and coaching programs for young offenders are staggering.

Considering the average cost to keep an inmate in federal prison for a year is $120,000, it isn’t hard to see how the numbers add up with each young person who turns toward crime. Over a lifetime, incarceration could cost millions for one person alone. That doesn’t even include costs of time spent in the legal system or the negative impact of crimes they through property damage or victimization of others. Adding in the potential individual economic value lost and the other systemic impacts of supporting a person who can’t find steady work, it’s a big money proposition.

The PACT life coaching program the club was being asked to support has been successful in diverting 65 per cent of the young offenders it helps.

While it’s just one program available in limited areas, it shows that people who take the time to care can make a difference. It also shows that with a bit more commitment of public and private funds, there could be a huge impact both on the public purse and in reducing incidents of crime.

The Picton

Investment in programs to address mental health, to provide positive mentorship opportunities, and to show a different way individuals whose circumstances have led them down a wayward path only make sense when looking at the bigger picture. While the messaging of “being tough on crime” in itself is a deterrent, it would be productive if governments first focused attention on possible methodologies to eliminate that crime in the first place before it becomes an issue that is affecting the broader community.

Clearly, prevention is a worthy cause and that can be applied not only to the justice system but to so many elements of society. Money spent to treat health concerns quickly in the home or in the community will take pressure off the hospital system where more acute care is often required. Regular maintenance of infrastructure and equipment can save big-ticket capital expenses in the future. With a little foresight, problems can be avoided.

It’s time that operations like PACT be recognized for their innovative approaches to make positive change before problems become larger. It’s also time similar approaches be examined as realistic paths toward change.

The Picton Gazette

Picton library branch to exhibit 26 paintings featuring historic views of Picton and the county

Canada 150 events are being announced every day it seems. And, on behalf of the County Library, I’m very pleased to share news about a very special county art exhibit now on display at the Picton branch.

Last November, I received an unexpected phone call from a gentleman who painted a series of 26 views around Picton and the county in the 1950s. The caller shared his desire to lend these paintings to the Picton branch for display in celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday. Given the local subject matter and the fact that The County is also celebrating 225 years, we started planning a summer exhibition.

Eager to help with set-up, artist Dick Richmond arrived as planned on April 27. Richmond was joined by his lifelong friend Tom Walmsley and both spent the entire day hanging the paintings as well as a detailed description of each. You can find the delightful display of 26 Richmond paintings on the second floor of the Picton branch on the west wall surrounding the fireplace.

Long-time residents will enjoy a trip down memory lane with each successive oil painting. The

INSIDE THE LIBRARY Barbara Sweet

old Mary Street School is depicted, as is a winter recess scene with sledding on the Mary Street hill.

You’ll see the Picton town hill as it looked 40 years ago, the Regent Theatre as well as Picton harbour.

Richmond’s colourful, folk art style beautifully captures what it was like to live in the county.

In his description of “The Town Hill” Dick shares what he was thinking about when he put brush to canvas. “The time is 10:30 a.m. Harrington’s Dairy delivery wagon has made its rounds

and is returning to the dairy. The milkman is sitting astride the wagon door controlling the reins.

“A mechanic is repairing a VN across the street at LeHeup’s Garage. Johnny Baverstock is coming up the hill with his wagon on his rounds to gather unwanted items. Mrs. Todd is sitting on her balcony, veranda in her rocking chair. It is Saturday so she’s not in her grade four classroom. A C.S.L. coal boat is docked at the head of the bay to unload cargo. In this section of town can be seen the courthouse, the old Anglican church and the Catholic church.”

While Richmond no longer lives in Prince Edward County, he has many fond memories and favourite haunts. His paintings truly capture moments in time and his thoughtfulness in sharing these during this celebratory year is something that every resident is sure to appreciate. The Richmond series will be on display at the Picton Branch through the summer.

The infectious charm of Richmond’s art has already captivated many visitors. Comments in the exhibit guest book include: “Wonderful to see these glimpses of the

past and read your commentary.

Thank you so much.” “I’m near speechless – your paintings are a sheer delight to see here in the library – I’m so excited by the range of your work.” “How utterly fantastic. These should hang in a major museum – I am so touched by the warmth and genuine affection each work shows – mostly, your deep love of the county.”

I am flattered and pleased that Richmond thought of the County Library as a venue to display his works. His depictions of the ebb and flow of 1950s life in Picton and the surrounding areas communicate warmth, humour and harmony. It seems very fitting that the library, where so many come for conversation, edification and entertainment should host this wonderful collection. On behalf of the library and our patrons, I thank you Mr. Richmond for sharing your talent and memories.

Summer break almost here!

We’re adding much-anticipated kids and youth activities every day to Events Calendar on peclibrary.org. Keep reading this column for the latest news about summer events at all of our branches.

New dementia resources now available online Planting options for shady gardens are plentiful

As elders age and face an increased likelihood of chronic illness, some people move to a long-term care home to receive the appropriate level of care.

Families and relationships will continue, though ways of connecting with one another may change. These can be stressful times, but there are many ways to have a positive and meaningful visit with an older person who has dementia.

A free online resource to help families learn new ways of interacting with an elderly loved one who has Alzheimer disease or other dementia is available from the Baycrest Centre for Geriatric Care in Toronto.

“Visiting with Elders” is a resource of practical strategies for relatives and friends of older people who are living in LTC Homes and for health care professionals working in long-term care. To download “Visiting with Elders”, visit www.baycrest.org/publications.

To sign up for this program, or refer someone, call Community Care at 613-476-7493.

Community Care is now looking for volunteer visitors. In particular we need volunteers in Picton, Bloomfield and Wellington. Male visitors are also required. Please stop in at the

Community Care will have the coffee on June 15, to celebrate Seniors’ Month in Ontario. Stop in between 2 and 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 15 and learn more about services for seniors and about how to volunteer.

June 16 is the date that Fitness 4 Seniors will start. You need to register and pay in advance. On Tuesday, June 20 the Picton library branch will show a documentary on Alzheimer disease and host a discussion afterward.

This starts at 6 p.m.

There’s a Seniors Luncheon Social at noon on Wednesday, June 21. Sign up to learn how to write your memoirs at a workshop later that same afternoon.

Again, advance registration and payment is required.

Can you help at Community Care’s tag days on June 23 & 24?

To be a tagger for two hours please drop by the office at 74A King Street, Picton or call 613476-7493.

Importantly, there has been no — zero — formal evaluation of the crucial relationship between proposed school closures and the actual viability of our rural communities.

And in terms of creative problem-solving in Prince Edward County, it has come from unpaid, dedicated, volunteer parents and community leaders -- not from paid (and pensioned) bureaucrats within the Hastings and Prince

Edward District School Board.

So there is a palpable disconnect here.

The premier has told me that there is no "one size fits all" approach and that decisions such as these should not be made through a limited urban lens.

In fact, Shire Hall receives deserving grants from Ottawa and Queen's Park to precisely encourage investment, infrastructure and growth.

INFO FOR SENIORS

Debbie MacDonald Moynes

As Sandy Goranson mentioned in the last article, our gardening experiences are quite different. She has an abundance of sun and I have an abundance of shade and part shade/sun. I do have one area that gets about five hours of afternoon sun in the summer. My husband has built a raised bed there so I can try some vegetables this year. I have other areas that just get morning sun or just late afternoon sun, and some with only dappled sunlight through the many trees I have. It is a challenge, and needless to say I have a lot of hostas! This year I am trying to add more colour in my shadier areas.

I am considering trying some of the bellflower varieties (Campanula). They tolerate cool nights and are native to most areas, are low growing and create an excellent ground cover plant. They come in a variety of colours, but I like the lavender or blue bellflower. There are a few common types to choose from, including the bluebell variety (Campanula rotundifolia) which can grow to 12 inches, and a dwarf bellflower (Campanula cochleariifolia) most suitable for rock gardens. Deadheading will help keep them

blooming for the summer. They do need some sun to flower well, but dappled sunlight through trees should be sufficient to keep them flowering all summer.

Astilbe (also known as False Goat’s Beard) is another choice, and with its beautiful plume like flowers and fern like leaves, works well with hostas. There are colours ranging from white to purple, including many with beautiful pastel colours. There are up to 25 varieties with many more hybrids available. Some flower at different

times, and vary in height. I am leaning toward a pink flowering Astilbe, either Astilbe chinensis or Astilbe japonica.

The difference between the two being the japonica is smaller and a more compact variety. They will grow well in shade, but need some sun to produce the beautiful flowers. Dappled sunlight will work well for Astilbe, as will early morning or afternoon sun. They do need a rich and well draining soil, so I will be adding organic material such as compost to the site before planting. They also like moisture, so watering regularly when first planted is important, as well as making sure they have enough water if we end up with another dry summer.

There are many other choices out there for flowers in shady gardens. The ones I have chosen are hardy and relatively easy to grow, and should complement what I already have. Check with your local garden centre for the section with shade plants. Now all I need is for the rain to stop!

LETTERS POLICY Board would be shortsighted to not approve Sophiasburgh plan The Picton Gazette welcomes

One of the most contentious issues facing rural Ontario, and the county in particular, is the blunt endangerment of our small community schools.

Rural school closures are picking up speed at exactly the time when provincial and federal elected politicians claim that preserving & promoting rural municipalities is crucial to the Canadian landscape - for solid economic as well as social reasons.

Yet our school board simultaneously hustles policies "by the book" that contradict that happy aspiration - indeed it fails to even reflect on a future role for community schools, and their reinvention as thriving hubs and multi-purpose rural assets.

When it comes to Sophiasburgh Central School, I hope that our school board has the 11th hour courage to approve our ARC proposal — even if it

must come with the cautious caveat "subject to confirmed provincial funding support for the hub concept".

Anything less is, in my view, shortsighted, unimaginative, and exacerbates the rote hollowing out of rural communities plus it's horribly not-smart policy for the long-term.

The County is reminding visitors that while the area is still dealing with flooding concerns, the municipality is open for business.

Mayor Robert Quaiff says in the June 2 release that the County of Prince Edward is looking forward to welcoming them to the municipality this spring and summer.

“Tourism season is ramping up and the state of emergency should not discourage visitors from coming to the county,” Quaiff says. “We are very much open for business despite some flooding in low-lying areas of the county.”

The release notes that while there is some localized flooding along shorelines, local wineries, restaurants, studios and other tourism businesses remain open and ready to accommodate visitors.

“The people of Prince Edward County have displayed great resiliency during this challenging time, and they have worked hard to carry on as normal,” Quaiff says. “As many of our incredible events and activities move ahead as planned in the coming weeks and months, I would encourage everyone to come and check them out.”

The release suggests events like this past weekend's Great Canadian Cheese Festival as well as Art in the County, which takes place June 23 to July 9, and the Lavender Festival, which is scheduled for July 8-9 will continue to be available for all to enjoy.

The release goes on to suggest visitors arriving from out of town contact their accommodation and other service providers to confirm reservations and events.

Thank you to our sponsors:

A trio of County museums are celebrating their 50th anniversaries this year and plan to celebrate with events throughout the year.

Representatives from the Mariners Park Museum, Rose House Museum and Wellington Heritage Museum outlines some of their plans for the anniversary during last week's committee-ofthe-whole meeting.

Speaking on behalf of the Wellington Heritage Museum, Pearl Hucul said there are a couple of events planned. Firstly, the museum's volunteer committee will again be hosting their annual pancake breakfast fundraiser on Canada Day 2017. Hucul said the event is put together with the help of 25 volunteers and the approximately 300 breakfasts are served each year.

This year's pancake breakfast will be held in support of the museum's garden project and Hucul said organizers hope to be able to donate $1,000 toward the project.

“That project is taken on by only volunteers and we are going to create a garden behind the museum,” she said. “The garden will be a celebration of our 50th anniversary. It's a way of our volunteers supporting and maintaining the history of the county.”

Cheryl Douglas said the garden project will make use of a plot of land behind the museum.

“It has long been felt that it's been under-utilized and could be a much greater asset both to the community and to the museum,” said Douglas.

Douglas said a well-respected landscaping firm donated the design work for the garden, which is envisioned as a space for concerts, small theatre productions, and educational programs. The plan includes accessible pathways, heritage-themed benches and will keep the garden simple in a nod to the museum's Quaker past.

“We're very excited about the prospects for this garden,” said Douglas.

Maria Gacesa said the project has been almost a decade in the making. She said over half of the $40,000 for the first phase of the project has been raised, including $20,000 earmarked for a sculptural element.

“Before we make a push for donors — and based on recommendations from the museum curator's office — we will proceed with an expression of interest listing all of our requirements, from materials to labour, for the project and invite local trades and suppliers to submit bids,” said Gacesa.

She said all donors and sponsors will be recognized in a permanent way once the garden is complete. The project is expected to break ground in late summer.

Susan Rose said the Rose House Museum will be celebrating 50 years with an anniversary tea on June 25 from 2–4 p.m.

Regional public-private partnership proposed to address gaps in cellular service Eastern Ontario Rural Network proposal follows successful efforts to improve broadband access for majority of residents, businesses in eastern Ontario CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

A new $213-million proposal from the Eastern Ontario Regional Network (EORN) seeks to close cellular dead zones across rural eastern Ontario A release distributed by Prince Edward County says the municipality the efforts of EORN to seek federal and provincial support to improve cellular coverage across the region. The release argues cellular gaps are a hindrance to the regions economic growth and

overall public safety.

EORN proposes a public-private partnership to improve the reach and quality of cellular data services. An engineering study commissioned by EORN showed that about 25 per cent of areas with major roads, businesses or homes in the region don't have access to any cellular services. It showed that — depending on the cell carrier — another 28 to 40 per cent of the area has inadequate capacity to provide high-quality mobile broadband service.

The release says the gaps are

the result of market failure.

“Rural areas don’t generate enough revenue for cell carriers to build adequate services,” the release says. “The (Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission) CRTC recently designated both mobile and fixed broadband as basic services for all Canadians. A public-private partnership would reduce carriers’ infrastructure costs, creating a stronger business case to improve services and meet the CRTC’s basic services goals.”

EORN has submitted a busi-

ness case for cell expansion to the federal and provincial governments. The proposal includes a dedicated public safety broadband network that would connect first responders across the region.

Constructing both networks together would cost about $299 million, saving about $47 million compared to building separately.

EORN is a non-profit created by the Eastern Ontario Wardens' Caucus (EOWC). In the past, EORN has worked to improve broadband access and spearheaded a $175-million network funded

by federal, provincial, and municipal governments, as well as private sector service providers to improve broadband access for nearly 90 per cent of eastern Ontario.

The EOWC directed EORN to prepare and submit a project proposal to improved access to mobile broadband services and support the creation of a public safety broadband network.

Prince Edward County Mayor and EOWC chair Robert Quaiff says the issue is a critical one.

“The demand for mobile data is growing exponentially, but our

region is deeply lacking the needed infrastructure to keep up,” says Quaiff. “This project is our top priority because eastern Ontario’s future is at stake.”

EORN chair J. Murray Jones echoes the sentiment.

“Too often, eastern Ontarians find themselves with no signal or dropped cell services. EORN is building on the investment we’ve already made in fibre optics across the region to close the gap in cell services and improve economic growth, quality of life and public safety.”

100 People Who Care organizers plan information meeting June 27 at Waring Hall Organization will offer a simple way for people to give locally ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

The campaign to start a 100 People Who Care chapter in the county will move beyond the concept stage this month.

Mark Davis, one of the founders behind the charitable initiative said an inaugural meeting has been scheduled for Tuesday, June 27 at 7 p.m. at the Waring Hall. “What we’ve decided to do is have that first meeting be a strictly informational meeting,�

Davis said. “Anyone wishing to know a little more about it before making a commitment will be allowed to. We’ll be able to speak to those questions. In its most simplistic sense, there’s hardly anything to this.�

Davis explained the concept would see 100 people or groups of people each chip in $100 quarterly. All of the donors would meet, discuss charities nominated and vote. The wining cause would get $10,000 that night to do with as it wishes.

Since Davis and Richard Byers announced the initiative last December, they’ve brought together a group of like-minded people to work on the logistics and marketing behind the organization. That group has collected

between 35-40 names of potential investors already. “Interestingly enough, they seem to come from all walks of life. There’s not a common undercurrent,� Davis said.

David Fox was a member of the Quinte 100 Men Who Care chapter alongside Davis and Byers. He feels the concept will appeal to people because of its nostrings-attached method. “I liked that you could go help people out and you don’t have to sit in a meeting and take notes,� he said. “You go and visit with people. For me, it was a social connection with the people I used to work with.

Fox said he’s noticed the younger generation doesn’t place the same importance on being

involved with service clubs and community organizations as his does, but he finds they still want to be involved somehow. This can be that opportunity, he said. “So many people don’t want to belong to an organization and take on the responsibilities associated with it like worrying if you’re going to be on an executive one year or having to make it to a monthly or even weekly meeting,� he said.

Davis, a longtime Rotarian, agreed. “Belonging to an organization in this day and age, there’s a real risk factor, so this is a winning concept from beginning to end.�

The simplicity, Davis said, will help 100 People come up with money that may dwarf the contri-

butions traditional service groups are able to offer.

He’s hopeful, however, there will be room for socializing as Fox described and networking. “I suspect we’re going to initially attract a lof of newcomers and this will act as a springboard for people to get to know each other,� he said. “There will absolutely be a social side. The one Dave and I went to in Belleville started at 7:30. A lot of people would get there after 7, have a beer and talk with friends.

The meeting would last about 20 minutes and they’d hang around for another 40 minutes chatting or meeting new people.�

The choice to make the county group non-gender specific came because of a smaller geographic area and a belief from organizers that it’s not necessary to divide like-minded people.

By starting a local chapter, organizers are also hoping their dollars will stay close to home.

Davis said there wasn’t a large county contingent in the Quinte group he was involved with and given the populations of Belleville and Quinte West, it appeared unlikely a county charity would be nominated to win money, let alone actually succeed.

Davis indicated organizers didn’t believe there’d be enough money raised this month to

award a prize for a charity, stating the first giveaway will likely be in October.

In the meantime, interested members are also asked to find eligible charities — ones that are located in the county and that give tax receipts — for future con-

sideration. Davis said those that can’t may be able to partner with organizations like the County Community Foundation.

County partners with Rural Employment Initiative to settle recent immigrants Many new Canadians have agricultural skills and experience that might help satisfy unmet need for trained workers that has slowed growth locally CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

The County has partnered with a program which seeks to connect

new Canadian citizens with employment opportunities in smaller Ontario municipalities.

The municipality announced last week a new partnership

with the Rural Employment Initiative (REI). The partnership will focus on attracting newcomers to Canada living in the Greater Toronto Area to Prince

Edward County where they can be connected with local employers. The program collaborates with local employment agencies and offer settlement support and

other tools to help immigrants settle in their new rural communities.

The project's co-ordinator Oliver Pryce says in the release the program aims to address the outflow of young people from rural communities. “Youth from these communities are leaving for the big cities to study and when they finish school, they don’t go back,� says Pryce. “These communities have all these unmet labour market needs. We are hoping to fill these gaps with newcomers who are willing to relocate and work outside of Greater Toronto.�

While many municipalities across rural Ontario face the issue, the release indicates the needs are even greater in Prince Edward County, where more than 60 per cent of local businesses have expansion plans.

That growth has resulted in more than 80 per cent of those employers citing challenges in hiring, which is double the provincial average. That data was collected as part of the municipality's recent Business Retention and Expansion study.

The release says the result is that many local businesses have decided not to expand because they are currently unable to find the help they need. Community development director Neil Carbone says the business retention and expansion study helped the municipality target the needs of local business owners. “Our recent business retention and expansion study identified workforce attraction as a

significant priority,â&#x20AC;? says Carbone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Rural Employment Initiative is well aligned with the needs and dovetails well with other workforce development efforts.â&#x20AC;?

Councillor and community and economic development commission chair Bill Roberts says since the study was conducted, the commission has made workforce attraction a critical priority. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This initiative helps educate newcomers on the opportunities found east of the GTA,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The county offers an amazing quality of life compared to city life. We want to promote our community as a welcoming and inclusive destination and promote the value of diversity.â&#x20AC;?

The release says there's a lot of potential for newcomers to relocate from urban to rural settings. The municipality's BuildaNewLife.ca investment and resident attraction website features more than 90 recent stories of individuals who have moved to or returned home to the county. The website now receives more traffic from the GTA than from the county.

As part of the REI partnership, the municipality took part in a job fair held at City Hall in Mississauga on May 30. More than 600 skilled and unexperienced professionals specifically looking for employment in rural Ontario attended the event. Representatives from Hastings County, Belleville, Quinte West and Lennox & Addington also participated in the job fair.

PECI students spend five days in Frontenac wilderness Canoe trip culminating activity for outdoor leadership program ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

While some might suggest that secondary school students go into survival mode as the calendar turns to June, a group of PECI students literally did just that last week.

As part of the culminating activity for their two-credit Joining Outdoor Adventure and Leadership Training (JOALT) program, healthy living teacher Laurie Spencer’s class headed into the wilderness of Frontenac Provincial Park for five days from May 29 to June 2.

“All the students were new to tripping. It was an opportunity for experiential learning — a beautiful opportunity to get outside the four classroom walls and learn by doing,” Spencer said.

The class paddled canoes for 26 km and portaged another 11 km, all while enduring elements that would have scared off all but the most avid outdoors enthusiasts.

“Mother Nature treated us to a lot of rain, some thunderstorms, and a highlight, a hail storm,” Spencer added. “It was incredible to watch the students persevere through the weather and through the physically challenging days.”

The students had opportunities to test their mental and physical capacity along the trip and to use skills they’d learned at two previous visits to the Frink Centre that exercises in team building, shelter building, and fire building.

Spencer said it was evident that all of the students experienced ups and downs over the

NOW

course of the trip, but they managed to rise to the occasion.

“In these situations, there was only one option...complete the task. There was no turning around and no stopping,” Spencer said.

During the five days the students also had faced another challenge that have been particularly tough for a generation that has been around modern technology for most of their lives. There was no access to cell phones while on the excursion.

“The conversations were genuine, there were no distractions from phones pinging, and there was a general consensus that it was a freeing feeling to not be tied to their phones,” Spencer said.

“Addiction to technology is a concern for this generation. For the first time in many years, students said they felt good not to have their phones.”

On Thursday evening as the trek wound down, Spencer said the class shared an incredible final campfire with storytelling, laughter, and individual speeches about lessons learned and rewarding moments along the way.

Spencer said the course is

easily her most exhaustive effort as a teacher, but it holds a special place in her heart because of the student achievement that takes place.

The JOALT program is an elective that students can take in Grades 11 and 12 that combines fitness leadership and outdoor education.

Prior to the canoeing trip, the students in the program were able to hone their leadership skills through experiential activities. They served as student ambassadors at PECI’s elementary basketball tournament and Academic Olympics.

They also visited Queen Elizabeth School to lead activi-

ties during afternoon recess three times a week. While at the elementary school, students played games like soccer, basketball, and tag with their younger peers. Approachable in their bright yellow uniforms, they helped the Queen Elizabeth students with activities those students chose. “(Principal) Paul Pickard has been a great connection at QE for us as we have worked to develop the recess program over the past two years,” Spencer said.

Also this year, the JOALT program visited the Ganaraska Forest Centre for a tree-top trekking activity.

Picton Rotarians partner with other Quinte-area clubs to deliver program that has changed lives and saved justice system considerable expense

PACT program offers coaching to divert young offenders from criminal system ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

David Lockett believes that early intervention with young offenders can have wide-reaching effects on society. That’s because he’s lived it and experienced it.

About 20 years ago, the Toronto found himself pondering a vision by then-Rotary International president Luis Giay, who observed youth in crime and felt it had a disasterous role in urban peace around the globe.

Lockett thought about the problem and took up Giay’s call for Rotarians to promote healing in their own communities.

He had a friend and mentor in Rick Blouin, one of the first Crown attorneys to be assigned to

a youth court in Ontario.

In a busy court in Scarborough, Lockett said Blouin processed about 1,700 charges against young offenders a year.

He managed to divert close to 1,000 of those charges, but said the remaining 700-800 involved some 40-50 youth and they were all serious in nature.

“He called them revolvingdoor criminals at 14, 15, and 16 years old,” Lockett told Picton Rotarians Tuesday. “He said ‘If you want to make a difference, you have to help me. They come from really horrible backgrounds and they get caught in the system.

If we don’t break the cycle, when they become 18, the first time they get a charge rendered against them, their entire youth court

record becomes attached to them for life.”

Often, that means barriers to employment and relationships.

Usually, that produces repeat offenders, which Lockett said take a tol on the system.

“The absurdity of not making early investments is crazy,” he said. “By not breaking this cycle of criminal behaviour, these kids often cost the system between $24 million in their lifetime.”

Working with Blouin, who is now a sitting judge, Lockett and fellow Parkdale Rotarian Dan Cornacchia founded a charity called PACT (Participation, Acknowledgement, Commitment, and Transformation), which worked with the court system to divert cases involving mostly first-time young offenders to restorative conferences instead of trials. It quickly expanded across the GTA. While working with those atrisk youth, PACT workers created a life coaching program to teach young people how to turn their lives around.

“The way our program works is we work with the courts. We say we have a life plan coaching program,” he said. “We want to reintegrate the kids coming out of custody — or ideally, before they get there when they’re on the brink.”

He continued, stating a case manager would do an intake

meeting to make sure a young person is motivated and coachable. They’re then matched with a life coach that goes to the youth each week to help build capacity to change their ways.

“We want to create goals and dreams, to give them strength and power to turn their lives around, ideally before they’re adults.”

Lockett recalled the case of the first youth in the coaching program, 17-year-old Les Magyar. He was arrested and charged in a home invasion and came before

Blouin in court in 2005.

Lockett went into the basement of the court house with Magyar’s defence lawyer and a few other people present. He recalls looking at Magyar’s face and his bright eyes and having his entire perspective change because it wasn’t the picture of a young delinquent he expected.

Talking for nearly three hours, he learned Magyar and his four siblings were abandoned by their parents at age six. His mom had been a drug dealer and his dad a

chronic alcoholic. He was a ward of the province and had been in 16 different group homes.

“I was heartbroken. Somehow society had failed this kid. I wondered what we were going to do.”

He was paired with life coach Lynn Kislock. She worked with him for a year-and-a-half as he tried to live up to plan for his life to stay in school and out of fights, control his temper, and get a job.

There were some tense times, but with the coaching, Magyar didn’t return to the court system.

He graduated from the coaching program and he now has a family and his own landscape business in the Newmarket area.

Lockett estimates in Toronto alone, there may be 400 young people in a similar position at any time that could use help.

The PACT life plan coaching program currently has a 65-percent diversion success rate. It has set a five-year target to deliver the program to 250 young people and if the rate holds, that will mean 163 lives transformed and a savings of $326 million from the justice system (statistics cited in PACT literature suggest the average annual cost of keeping a single inmate is $120,000, but the annual cost of delivering PACT coaching is $7,500 a year — $5,000 to pay the coach, and $2,500 for related support costs.

Community partners offer support for students OPPORTUNITY, from page 4 "I'm trying to price it so that everyone, no matter what social situation they're in, can get a henna tattoo. I want to share this with everyone because it's so beautiful," she said.

The pricing model she is thinking about ranges from $2 to $50. The prices are primarily on time, but they factor in the cost of supplies. Cobb says she has a ready-made bird design she can do in just a minute.

Cobb has also worked to promote her business on social media, worked to spread word of mouth, and booked herself into a number of markets and festivals both here in the county and in Toronto, where her dad lives.

Abbott said people in the county have been very supportive of the Summer Company effort. Wellington Farmer's Market organizer Louise McFaul has said Cobb just has to tell her which weekends she wants to attend and there will be space for her. Similarly, in Picton, BIA manager Judith Burfoot has said any Summer Company participants that wish to have space to sell on Canada Day will be accommodated, no matter how many vendors are interested.

"Everybody here has been so collegial and co-operative,"

Abbott said, adding she had little trouble recruiting mentors or finding guest speakers to help guide the participants.

In the fall, the participants will have to report their earnings and hours and prove they're returning to school to collect the additional $1,500.

The other Prince Edward County residents involved with the program are Sydney Babutac, who is working with natural stone bead bracelets, Alex Caulfield, who is offering property maintenance in the Rednersville area, Phil Seguin, who will provide taping wraps for athletes, Evan Bigger-Jones, who will produce custom printed hoodies and caps, and Gregory Vaskovsy, who will provide postcards of county landmarks.

In Napanee, Emma Cronkwright will host an arts and crafts camp and Brooklyn Benn will offer a dance camp.

On the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory, Raiyne Harding will be producing handmade jewelry and souvenirs, while Mika Parks will offer craft kids and lessons on making indigenous arts.

Terry Deroche, Trevor Crowe, Katie Creasy, Pauline Maracle, and Daneen Douglas will serve alongside Samuel as mentors.

Uncork Canada tasting event features over 200 wines All Canadian Wine Championships-linked fundraiser June 17 reaches record ticket sales level ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

The knowledge that some of the best wines from across Canada not normally available in Ontario are being served for one night in Picton annually is starting to take hold.

Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation executive director said Tuesday that ticket sales for Uncork Canada June 17 have easily doubled total sales for the event last year, known as Wine Passport to Canada.

The third annual event is a

partnership between the All Canadian Wine Championships, (ACWC), the Rotary Club of Picton, and the hospital foundation.

With ACWC director Bev Carnahan now living in Cherry Valley, samples of best reds, whites, rosés, meads, dessert wines, and cider arrived at the Waring House this week for judges to sample. Following that process, there’s a good portion of each bottle left over. Long ago, while living in Windsor, Carnahan discovered she could host a charitable event to give back to her community and dispose of the surplus. She brought

that practice here.

“This unique event offers the perfect opportunity for avid wine lovers to sample from hundreds of wines not available through the LCBO,” Carnahan said. “There is only one bottle of each, so it is really a scavenger hunt for wine lovers.”

Rolinski added she believes the walk-around tasting at the Crystal Palace has the potential to become a highly recognizable social event those working in the wine industry and wine lovers from the county and beyond won’t want to miss.

The net proceeds of the event

will benefit the hospital foundation and Rotary initiatives.

This year, Scotiabank Picton, the Picton Elks Lodge, the Waring House, and Omnia Direct have partnered to offer sponsorship.

Tickets are available for $35 in advance or $40 on the day of the event. Advance tickets can be purchased through the foundation’s office at the hospital, the Regent Theatre box office, via phone at 613-476-1008 ext. 4503 or online at www.uncorkcanada.ca. Included with a ticket, Each attendee will receive 12 tastings they select from over 200 choices to be poured by Rotary volunteers.

Pirates add three forwards, assistant coach

The Picton Pirates have added a few pieces to the puzzle for next season.

Three forwards were added to the crew on Tuesday.

The first was 17-year-old Noah Brant from Tyendinaga. Brant played last season for the Quinte Red Devils Midget AAA program, collecting seven goals and 23 points in 40 games. Brant played nine games last season for Picton as an affiliated player, scoring two goals and adding two assists.

The second player signed on Tuesday was Prince Edward County resident Justin Arnold.

The 17 year old is also a graduate of the Quinte Red Devils Midget AAA program, having tallied seven goals and 12 assists for 19 points last year.

Finally, the Pirates signed 1999born forward Brayden Bertrand out of the Centre Hastings Grizzlies midget program. Boasting a mix of skill and speed, Bertrand captained his team to the a win OMHA ‘D’ final against Norwich last season.

The Pirates also announced Tuesday they have brought aboard Jamie Lane as an assistant coach for the 2017-2018 season.

Lane began his coaching career in 1999 with the Prince Edward County Minor Hockey Association. He spent six years with various rep teams. Last season Lane worked with the Central Development Hockey League Wellington Dukes spring program and the Dukes hockey school.

While a mother-daughter duo captured the podium at the seventh annual Wellington Women's Half-Marathon Saturday, some 599 women shared in the joy of being active on a beautiful course.

Carolyn Raab crossed the finish line at C.M.L. Snider School first among 105 competitors in the 21.1-km half-marathon with a time of 1:38:22, while her daughter Sienna Brennan-Raab was the top finisher of 494 entries in the 10.55km half-a-half race with a time of 45:47.4.

Lisa Lindsay, one of the race directors alongside Paula Rideout, said the mother-daughter duo travels from Quebec annually to take part in the race because of the course and the atmosphere.

"They have a lot of running options, but they come because they love the vibe here."

Many other women seem to enjoy the co-operative, encouraging atmosphere, whether they're coming to compete or just looking for an outing with their friends or family.

For the past two years, Ottawa media personality Kimothy Walker has been participating in the Wellington race with a group of friends who run to promote awareness of mitochondrial disease after a member in their group lost a daughter to the debilitating illness. This year, a group of 11 women came down from the nation's capital and donned their bright pink shirts to raise awareness. While they were doing that, however, they managed to have some fun.

"We're all at different levels.

Some of us ate candy along the route and socialized. Others are more competitive and have done a lot of half-marathons. We have an ultra-marathoner. Everyone is at different levels and we support those levels," she said. "It's all about what we do to be champions for each other. In this bigger group of people, it's so great that everyone is enthusiastic."

Walker said her group of

TRIUMPHANT FINISH Laurie Morton, left, and Wendy Lavender raise their arms as they approach the finish line at C.M.L.Snider School during the Wellington Women’s Half-Marathon Saturday. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

friends were able to have a sense of humour that some aren't running personal bests like they once might have and realize there's a bigger picture than just times.

"Looking at what we're running for, it puts things in perspective. We need to not sweat the little things in life,' she said.

According to Walker, the members in her group have likely taken part in more than 100 running events collectively. She said the Wellington event is on the list because of the race atmosphere and also the area's natural beauty and its amenities.

"You have a beautiful, beautiful area here and, after this, we'll probably do the wine tour," she said. "I have to tell you, it's one of the most beautiful routes that I've ever done and I've done a fair amount of racing.

Belleville runners Linda Hillier, Denise Savage, and Whitney Donahue travelled a shorter distance to participate but they had similar

reasons for wanting to take part in the half-marathon race.

"It's inspiration. It was a goal we set for ourselves and it's lots of fun," Savage said. "It's not competitive, you just do your own best.

It's just inspiring to be here."

competed in the half-a-half race for several years an decided this year they'd move up to the longer course. They said they felt the gravel roads and hills on the back half of the longer course were a challenge, but ultimately they made it across the line.

Donahue hadn't been to Wellington before, but said Savage convinced her.

"Well, Denise was talking about doing a half-marathon and she said there were firefighters. I was like 'Sign me up!' I'm glad I pushed through and finished it. I can cross the off my bucket list.”

The trio said the water was perfect and the people made a difference.

"The volunteers are wonderful.

Everybody is so nice," Hillier said.

"It's really well organized.

Savage added "I think a lot of runs in the area could take a lot from how they organize… and how can you go wrong when you're starting at a winery?

Hillier said she's always excited each year to get a handcrafted necklace as a memento of the run.

Lindsay said the organizers take pride in the fact that a "true county volunteer effort" makes the event happen each year with Wellington firefighters and Rotarians taking care of the route and C.M.L. Snider families attending the water stations around the course. The weather this year was also a definite plus.

"We have been very fortunate.

I feel for the Kids of Steel, the women's race always seems to get lovely weather," Lindsay said. "It was the perfect temperature Saturday, it was not too hot and not too cold. When it started to get a little warmer, everyone was already done."

Lindsay said after selling out the first five years, the race hasn't been sold out the past two years.

She attributed that to other races starting that copied successful elements. That said, she indicated the race enjoys a really high number of returning runners each year.

She said next year, runners may notice some small changes and surprises she is working on with Rideout that are designed to take the experience on the course to "a whole new level."

As in past years, the community will also benefit from the positive experience participating women have had in Wellington.

Lindsay said she expects the race will raise about $12,000 for an outdoor classroom initiative at C.M.L. Snider designed by Come Alive Outside.

Ameliasburgh boxer earns silver medal at Toronto’s Bronze Gloves tournament Determination level, athletic form keys to Alarie’s success JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER

An Ameliasburgh native is starting off his career on the right foot after claiming silver in a prestigious amateur boxing in Toronto late last month.

Andre Alarie won the silver medal at 2017 Bronze Gloves in the Men's Novice 75 kg class late last month .

The Kente alum and Centennial Secondary School student has been training just over a year and has built a 2-2-0 record since starting his amateur career in January.

Alarie trains at the Quinte Bay Boxing Club under the tutelage of long time trainer and club organizer Warren Hunton.

Hunton told the Gazette Alarie has a very athletic form in terms of the fighter's style and the young man is a “very determined individual.”

“He's always here training, working out and that's more than half the battle for a boxer at this stage,” Hunton said. “Putting in the time and effort will pay dividends in the ring somewhere down the road.”

In his first match at the Bronze Gloves, Alarie matched up with a fighter with the near-namesake Mohammed Ali out of the KAYO Boxing Club in Chatham.

“There was a lot of punching and a lot of movement,” Hunton recalled. “His athleticism really benefitted him.”

Alarie dominated from the start of the match with the referee stepping in during the second round to stop the contest and awarding the fight to the county native.

In the second and final match of the tournament in Alarie's divi-

sion and weight class, the young fighter met Rojeh Sayegh representing the Ajax boxing club.

“I took some really powerful punches from (Sayegh) and he was the better fighter that day,” Alarie said.

While Alarie's first contest of the Bronze Gloves tournament was more of a measured affair, Sayegh wasn't afraid to get inside and go nose-to-nose, a new expe-

Alarie pulls no punches.

“I want to be world champion.

I also want to represent my country in the Olympics one day,” he said brimming with confidence.

And that dream is not impossible according to his trainer and coach.

“With a lot of hard work and a little bit of luck, anything is possible,” Hunton added.

rience for the local.

“It was a lot of inside fighting and close punching but think he got a lot of experience and that's what the Bronze Gloves tournament it intended to do,” added the coach.

Alarie stood his ground and made it to the end of the third round still standing but lost a unanimous decision.

While he might not have come out on top, Alarie certainly had the right attitude at the 200-plus fighter showdown sanctioned by Boxing Ontario — both entering the event and after the final bell.

“I totally expected to win I wanted to win but I ended up losing in the final,” he told the Gazette prior to his workout Monday evening. “Every loss you have builds you and makes you a better fighter.”

When it comes to his love of the sweet science, Alarie, who turns 17 this month, remembers shadow boxing and watching wrestling matches as a youngster.

“I really loved watching fighting and I became fascinated with it,” Alarie said, adding in his down time, he likes welding and crafting metallic art.

When asked who he enjoys watching currently, Alarie pointed to Ukrainian featherweight pugilist Vasyl Lomachenko and added he likes watching clips of the famed Rocky Marciano and Muhammad Ali. And what does he want to achieve with his boxing career?

features both male and female recreational and competitive programs and training and has a complement of 25 fighters.

The group trains at the John Howard Society Building off Wallbridge Crescent, just off Moira Street West.

JOHN DEERE

A couple hours into the 11th running of the County Kids of Steel Triathlon Sunday, former race director Stephanie Roth made a joke over the loud speaker about how competitors might be missing the habitual trudging through mud puddles on the Millennium Trail.

Evidentially, she spoke too soon. By the end of the race, many of the participants had to deal with not only puddles, but a cold, steady downpour — and most of those who did endure the weather were among the youngest competitors.

They showed their resilience and didn’t give up. Some competitors even kept running while wearing towels over their clothing on the race course.

Ultimately, the soggy podium celebration likely wasn’t the most enjoyable place for winners to celebrate, but they didn’t seem to mind waiting to celebrate their personal achievement.

In all, 182 competitors crossed the finish line in timed races, while one young athlete had to drop out of the race due to an injury on the bicycle course.

Ultimately, he was treated by paramedics and had a follow up visit with a dentist.

The field appeared to include a strong field of Prince Edward County talent this year, but also attracted competitors from as far away as Virginia.

Among triathletes ages 16-17 at the end of this year, Lucas Weins topped a field of two boys with a time of 36:24 following a 300-m swim, a 10-km bike, and three-kilometre run. Jude Szabo was the runner up in the boys’ category at 45:21.

Leah Oster was the top female in the eldest category, running in 38:08. Kelli-Anne Maycock, a competitor in each County Kids of Steel race placed second with a time of 49:54.

In the boys’ 14-15 category, Hunter Scholey claimed first with a 33:05 time on the same course as the 16-17 year olds. Adam Voutier was second at 35:18 and Jasper Gilbert was third at 41:53. Anna Harris led the girls with a 37:17 time. Brianna Klein was second at 39:32 and Hannah Johnson was third at 41:45.

The 12-13 category featured a 200-m swim, an eight-kilometre bike, and a two kilometre run.

Mackenzie Garside had the best time of all entries, winning gold among girls with a 29:06 time.

Hilary Johnson earned silver at 31:21 and Alaina Dunn, bronze, at 31:58. Among boys, Simon Scholey won with a time of 30:52.

Gavin Hadfield was second at 32:34, and Oliver Engen was third with a 33:08.

In the largest age group for participation, 10-11, the competitors swim for 100-m, run for five kilometres, and run for a kilometre-and-a-half. Noah Olauson led the field and won gold for boys with a 21:13 time, edging Nolan McReelis who finished in 21:25.

Andrew Richards was third at 22:05. Samantha Garside was the

top female finisher at 22:19, Makayla Tucker was second at 24:15, and Robin Howe was third at 24:52.

Triathletes aged 8 and 9 complete a 50-m swim, a four-kilometre bike, and a one-kilometre walk. Kenny Champ had the fastest time at 18:06, Sean Dunn was second at 18:13 and Emmett Steinwall Pennington was third at 18:43. Clara Murison led the girls at 19:20, just ahead of Samantha Richards at 19:24. Abigail Richard was third at 19:24.

The youngest timed category, ages 6-7 (some younger athletes do participate, but they are not officially timed) features a 25-m swim, a kilometre-and-a-half bike, and a half-kilometre run.

Chase Covell was the top boy, running in 11:10, Luke Milne was second with an 11:42, and Aidan McReelis was third at 11:48.

Cecelia Vardy was the top girl at 11:27. Nellie Green was second at 13:40 and Fiona Hoskin was third at 14:16.

Following the triathlon, new race directors Rick Szabo and Jay Middleton gave special spirit awards to Sawyer FarringtonSweet for his no-quit attitude in th swimming pool and Lincoln Doxsee who got lost coming out of the pool and inadvertently did the run twice .

The race directors thanked the many volunteers and supporters whose time and dedication makes the race possible annually.

State of emergency remains as municipal officials continue to monitor flood levels Residents advised to continue to be cautious around high shorelines CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

Water levels seem to have stabilized, but County officials are asking residents to remain vigilant as the ongoing state of emergency due to localized flooding continues.

Mayor Robert Quaiff, chief administrative officer James Hepburn, engineering development and works commissioner Robert McAuley and fire chief Scott Manlow gave an update on the flooding conditions on Wednesday morning at Shire Hall.

Quaiff said water levels have appeared to stabilize and he is cautiously optimistic the levels will decline in the coming weeks.

“While this is good news, heavy rain and prolonged precipitation could cause the water levels to rise again,” he said.

“Furthermore, elevated water levels, high winds, and wake from boaters still pose a risk to the shoreline and the adjacent

property.”

He said the state of emergency will remain in effect. The municipality's emergency control group will continue to monitor water levels, respond to any issues, and will prepare for the recovery efforts. The group has already met 12 times to co-ordinate the flood

response and monitor conditions.

The state of emergency was declared on May 9 and, so far, the municipality has distributed about 81,500 sandbags.

As of June 1 the municipality has received 110 general inquiries regarding the flooding.

“To date fire and rescue has

attended 51 calls requesting assistance and offered sandbagging assistance to nine residences based on their specific needs and operational capacity,” Quaiff said.

Manlow said the department responded to each of the 51 assistance requests, assessed the water level and any damage, and

advised residents of any potential shock hazards due to submerged electrical outlets. He said the department assisted the nine residences with sandbagging after prioritizing them due to conditions.

He cautioned residents to be respectful of the water and of shorelines which could be eroded. He said the department also stresses that each resident ensure any electrical hazards are isolated and have them checked once the water recedes.

“There are dangers there,” he said.

Sandbags remain available.

The Ameliasburgh depot at 15 Coleman Street still has about 1,200 pre-filled sandbags. Residents can still fill their own sandbags in Picton at 115 Lake Street and in Wellington at 111 Belleville Street. Quaiff said these sites will continue to operate on a self-serve basis as staff turn their focus toward repairing roads that have been damaged by the flooding.

High winds last week affected both Long Point Road and Cressy Lakeside Road. For now Long Point Road is open to the government dock, while Cressy Lakeside Road continues to be down to one lane.

McAuley said the municipality has been tracking costs through the flooding, but said those numbers are still preliminary. He said the majority of the department's efforts have been directed at Cressy Lakeside Road where the shoreline has given way in multiple locations and the road has been washed away.

“A lot of material has had to be brought in and heavy equipment used to put the road back,” said McAuley. “That's the biggest expense we've had to incur.”

He said the full extent of the damage — and the full cost — won't be known until the water level goes down.

Quaiff said the province is currently assessing areas in central and eastern Ontario to evaluate damage and collect data prior to deciding whether to activate the Disaster Recovery Assistance for Ontarians program. The program helps individuals, small businesses, farms, and non-profits cover emergency costs and repairs fol-

lowing natural disasters. The municipality will alert residents if the program is activated in this area.

The Canadian Red Cross is offering financial assistance to households affected by the flooding. Eligible registered households can receive $600 in direct financial assistance through the Red Cross' $4 million fund to help flood victims in Quebec in Ontario. More information about the program can be found at www.redcross.ca/gethelp. The Red Cross has also published a flood recovery guide that can be found online.

The municipality plans to position dumpsters in locations around the municipality that will allow residents to dispose of sandbags and other flood-related debris. That information will be distributed through local media and through the County's flood watch web page.

“I recognize flooding presents significant challenges and I want to thank everyone for their patience and understanding,” Quaiff said.

He said the decision to declare the state of emergency was not made lightly.

“As with any flood incident, it is impossible to predict the exact impact at the outset,” he said. “The situation here in the county had the potential to cause substantial damage to homes and property and require provincial support and resources.”

He said declaring the state of emergency helped ensure the County was, and still is, ready to respond quickly if required.

A complete list of road closures and disruptions is available on the County's flood watch webpage. Residents who notice flooding are encouraged to contact the County's customer service line at 613-4762148 ext. 1023.

Any residents on a well and concerned about water contamination can access bottled water at the Wellington and District Community Centre and the Prince Edward Community Centre. Residents concerned about their septic systems during the flooding can also access the two facilities to shower.

“I just grow the apples and press the cider and Amelia buys the cider and she's the one that turns the straw to gold,” Campbell said.

Using northern spy, empire, red delicious, golden russet and even blending Nyman Maple Syrup into the fermentation, the offerings of Apple Falls was a huge success if one was to gauge the hoard of satisfied tasters leaving their stall.

One of those satisfied tasters was Diane Dewing of Kemptville who was attending the Festival for the first time.

“I'm really surprised of the

size of the portions and the samples,” Dewing told the Gazette.

“The cheese samples, the drinks, they're all really generous. Some of these events you go to and you get a drop or two or a tiny crumble and these exhibitors are being very generous with their product because they now how good it is,” Dewing said.

A number of her friends have been regular attendees of the show in years past and offered rave reviews of the event.

“It came up in my social media feed and I think it was destiny for me to be here today,” Dewing added. “I will definitely come back next year.”

Young ambassadors serve as tour guides for visiting Canada C3 participants VOYAGE, from page 1

In keeping with that theme, the Canada C3 visitors met with Chief R. Donald Maracle of the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte.

Maracle offered a prayer in his native language and offered some reflections on Canada.

He spoke about how many Indigenous peoples lived in Canada before the Europeans arrived and they had their own languages, trade relationships and treaties. Even as colonizing parties came to their territories, he said there were respectful interactions between the people.

"Because we didn't speak the same language and had different cultures, our ancestors recognized we were different in many ways, but they also respected we were all part of the human family. There were relationships made of peace and friendship and these were done through the treaties," he said.

"We think of the diversity of this country and the many different nations who have come to Canada to call this nation we share home. A home is where everybody belongs and everybody is valued. You always want the best for each other as a family. We need to think of ourselves as part of this big family, like the Creator wanted us to be."

Maracle urged those gathered at the reception to reflect on Canada's treaties with its indigenous peoples and to uphold those agreements while sharing in a responsibilities as stewards of the land.

The chief reflected on Macdonald and said while the flaw in the British North America Act was that natives never gave Macdonald the right to govern them — they wanted to govern themselves — he did author section 91 (24), which requires the federal government "to provide for the welfare and protection of native peoples."

Maracle also highlighted Macdonald's role in appointing a Mohawk, Oronhyatekha (Peter Martin in English) as one of the first doctors in this area.

Oronhyatekha actually was one of the first natives allowed to go to university, which he did at the urging of Prince Edward whom he impressed while visiting the Canadian colonies.

"He helped many communities that were suffering with smallpox in 1879. That's a part of the history of Sir John A. Macdonald and of our nation.

One of the first doctors was a Mohawk Indian from our reserve."

Maracle reflected on how Indians helped win the War of 1812 which paved the way for Canada's existence, how they marched and lost their lives in Vimy Ridge, and how all Canadians were moved to stand up for human rights in the face of Hitler in the second world war.

He also reflected on technological and medical developments that happened in Canada where people have had the freedom to

pursue those advancements.

"There were great contributions that have come from this place. It is a time to celebrate and to be happy that this country does exist and we should all be thankful for it," Maracle said.

Following that, he advised that Canadians should also be taking this milestone and contemplating the future. To applause, Maracle said he disagrees with U.S. President Donald Trump that climate change is real. He said Canadians must work to stem that tide.

"We have to think about the environment and the next generation of what will be there for them. In our culture, we're given responsibility to look seven generations ahead to make sure what we leave will be good for those coming after us," he said. "We have to take responsibility for climate change very seriously because nature will fight back with us and nature will overpower us.

It's a much stronger force than we can combat."

Maracle also encouraged the promotion of peace, stating it's not just up to politicians or military commanders, but everyone.

Green acknowledged Maracle's statement and said he believes Canada C3 can help in that mission.

"As Chief Maracle said, in traditional knowledge in Indigenous culture, it's believed we are put here on earth, on turtle island, to be the guardians of the land and the water. I think we've lost sight of that a little bit. We take it for granted. We think we control Mother Nature. Of course, the opposite

is true," he said.

"As a water nation, we have the largest coastline of any country in the world. We are blessed with lakes and rivers.

We are the lucky ones. That water connects us all and defines who are as Canadians.

Its' one of the reasons Canada C3 is doing what it's doing. By travelling our coastline, we hope to connect our country and showcase so many good things about it, but also things that can be better. We need to learn from that Indigenous way of thinking."

Following the formal addresses, many of the 60 people onboard the ship introduced themselves. There were Canadians of all ages from many walks of life. There were youth, members of Aboriginal communities, and recent immigrants. Wellknown chef Michael Olsen was preparing the meals on the first leg of the trip and he said he was happy to be in the county to meet his friends: local winemakers and cheesemakers. He joked he'd be the first in line for the Great Canadian Cheese Festival. Country singer Aaron Pritchett was also one of the participants. Following dinner Friday night, he gave an acoustic performance for local visitors and Canada C3 ambassadors.

The festivities included presentations of gifts. Green was presented The Settler's Dream so that members could learn about the county's heritage and he was offered a Prince Edward Yacht Club flag by commodore Brian Skuffham, which he offered to fly during the voyage.

The Canada C3 ambassadors

enjoyed a historical walking tour with Peter Lockyer Friday

night, then on Saturday, they were toured around to the Great

Canadian Cheese Festival, Sandbanks Provincial Park, and the Wellington Women's HalfMarathon by eight local student ambassadors selected by the Recreation Outreach Centre.

Come Alive Outside planned the local stopover. Its executive director Sarah Walker said her organization was immediately interested in hosting the epic journey.

"When we first heard about Canada C3, I think there was a line in the description that talked about how they really wanted to understand how Canadians are living in harmony with nature. That so strongly co-ordinated with our values at Come Alive Outside that we were so excited to host them here in Prince Edward County."

Although the Canada C3 vessel has now left the county and is journeying up the St. Lawrence River, Green encourages local residents to keep tabs on the voyage through social media or the web site canadac3.ca.

"I wish we could have brought all Canadians on this journey, but the ship's not quite big enough. It's a journey for all.

It will only be a success if it can be shared with millions of Canadians," he said. "We're going to allow you to follow every day of the journey — that's why we're doing it, so everybody can be a part of it."

CEDC approves plan to include non-voting secondary school student With council’s support, new representative could share youth perspective about business and development issues facing Prince Edward County ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

Some of the County’s key economic decision makers could soon be in a position to hear directly from the young people of the municipality.

At last Monday’s regular meeting, the community and economic development commission affirmed a staff recommendation to forward terms of reference to add a non-voting student member.

The commission received a report from community development co-ordinator Trevor Crowe which explained the position is in line with the strategic priorities the commission set prior to setting its budget for 2017. Among those priorities were greater engagement and a focus on youth entrepreneurship.

Already, the commission has provided financial support for the Prince Edward County

Youth Centre, operated by the Recreation Outreach Centre, and funded a youth-targeted program designed to promote entrepreneurial skills. In his report, Crowe said the move would be in line with those developments.

“Staff has reviewed the (commission’s) tees of reference and are recommending the addition of a non-voting, youth representative member,” the report said. “This would help keep the commission in tune with issues, challenges and barriers facing county youth while providing a conduit for continual feedback about commission priorities in the context of youth in the county. It also fosters greater youth engagement with local government.”

Crowe indicated the addition would also reflect on the commission’s goal for broader community engagement.

In analyzing how the development fits with the County’s

corporate strategic plan, he indicated youth engagement and retention is a key to the local economy in the future.

“Rural communities are facing a number of challenges related to their changing human capital needs such as stagnant population growth, an aging population, and the out-migration of youth. The County is being challenged with a similar outlook… coupled with the departure of youth for educational pursuits or employment opportunities, this has created an imbalance in the region’s demographic profile which will impact the County’s ability to create and sustain economic growth over the long term.”

During the meeting Monday, Ameliasburgh councillor and commission member Dianne O’Brien questioned a reference in the report, which suggested the commission intended to create a PECI seat. She indicated that nearly 200 secondary stu-

dents in the county attend school in Belleville and they should still be considered.

“These folks probably drive and could make their way to a meeting,” she said. “We should probably broaden the scope and put any student in the county enrolled in high school.”

The County’s director of community development Neil Carbone noted the actual recommendation contained in the report was not specific to any school. He suggested that there was some thought internally about transportation concerns for students in the north attending meetings, but indicated staff did not intend to disqualify any students. Commission members agreed the position would be open to any secondary school student in the municipality.

O’Brien also suggested the commission consider broadening the appointment to two students — possibly one from each end of the county — but chair

BILL ROBERTS

Bill Roberts suggested the commission could start with one and expand if necessary.

Roberts said he believes in the value of the new position.

“Different communities have had different experiences with involving senior high school folks on their administrative boards in an ongoing capacity. Some have been hugely successful, others less so. It’s an experience and we’ll see how it

goes but I think it behooves us to take actions that reflect our strategic plan.”

Commissioner Lynn Sullivan said the County might improve its success rate by offering training for the student.

“I believe we should have some sort of orientation procedure for that student. It’s a little bit intimidating to show up here and not know the ways of conducting business here,” she said.

Carbone assured her that each commissioner receives an orientation session and extra time would be allocated for the successful student.

Should council approve the addition —which it could do as early as June 13 — the clerk’s office would advertise the seat.

Council would receive applications and appoint the student representative using the same process it uses for citizen appointments to municipal boards or committees.

Glenwood Cemetery officials are informing visitors they shouldn’t be alarmed if the cemetery’s most famous living residents are nowhere to be found over the coming weeks.

With work planned to upgrade the pond at Glenwood this fall, the pair of Asiatic geese known as Will and Kate have been moved to the Sandy Pines Wildlife Centre in Napanee on a temporary basis.

According to a release issued by the cemetery, while the work

may not start for a few months, experts believe it is desirable for the geese to move now so that they can get used to their temporary new habitat.

The release also stated that the relocation process could take a while as the geese had to be trained to go into their house to be confined pending pick up.

Glenwood officials plan to update the public on the birds’ progress in Napanee.

Two charged following complaints of grave tampering in Wellington

Two people are facing multiple charges in connection to a suspected case of grave tampering at the Wellington Cemetery.

On Tuesday afternoon, the

ATHOL REC CENTRE

Prince Edward County OPP detachment was called to investigate a complaint of grave tampering.

As a result of an investigation by the OPP including the Forensic Identification Unit, two people, a 51-year-old man and a 50-year-old woman were are charged with committing indignity to a dead body (cremation ashes), an offence under the Criminal Code of Canada.

During the grave tampering investigation, OPP determined a physical altercation had occurred between the two charged persons.

As a result of that investigation, the male party was also charged with assault.

Both accused were held for a show-cause hearing scheduled for Wednesday afternoon at the Provincial Court of Justice in Belleville. Their names were not be released in order to protect the identity of the victim.

Byers urges support for coaching program, adds system doesn’t do rehabilitation well DIVERSION, from page 14

Last year, Picton Rotarians partnered with other clubs in the region to bring the PACT program back to the Quinte region after funding had been cut previously. The clubs managed to raise enough money to provide coaching for four young offenders.

Lockett credited the clubs and local coach Will Manos for being heroes in those people’s lives.

“We took the first four kids after you raised $30,000. Will brought these kids in, he was in the courts. A year later, all four are going to get a graduation certificate and none of them have reoffended.”

Lockett asked the Picton club to match its $2,000 donation from 2016 in the hopes of taking in another four at-risk youth.

He said he also envisions a wraparound concept where Rotarians might open up their businesses to provide employment opportunities for some of the youth in the program. In Trenton, there has been one such success story already.

Any of those developments will help toward Lockett’s vision.

“I want every high-risk kid in a Rotary city or town to have a life coach,” he said.

A local expert on the subject of rehabilitation, retired judge Richard Byers, told his fellow club members they should give serious consideration to helping out. Byers said in the early days

Stunt driving charge laid on County Rd. 49

With the OPP learning that a number of secondary school students were headed to Sandbanks Provincial Park for a beach day, Monday, police officers anticipated a busy day.

Police activity started with a charge that isn’t actively laid within Prince Edward County.

That morning, an OPP highway safety officer spotted a vehicle travelling south on County Rd. 49 at excessive speed near the Fish Lake Road intersection.

The pick-up truck was stopped and the driver was charged with performing a stunt — excessive speed under the Highway Traffic Act. Police also issued a seven-day licence suspension and impounded the vehicle per the provincial statute.

Over the course of the day, the OPP had its highway safety officers and Snowmobile, Vessel, and ATV Enforcement (SAVE) team engaged in and around the park.

As a result of several proactive focused patrols to check vehicles and park attendees, four provincial offence notices were issued for violations to the Liquor License Act. -Staff

when he tried young offenders, he was able to keep them in the county and perhaps scare them with a night at the Picton jail.

Now, they go to regional detention centres, which are experiencing overcrowding and a host of related problems.

Byers said it’s not unusual

for three people to be in a cell built for one at the Quinte Detention Centre. He said it isn’t unusual for some inmates to lose their exercise time or even get beat up or raped there on a regular basis — and some of those people haven’t even been convicted of a crime. In his

experience, Byers said the justice system doesn’t do rehabilitation well institutionally.

“I can tell you to be tough on crime doesn’t work. It’s a waste of time and it hurts a whole lot of people. It just fills our jails,” he said. “Most of our institutions are just self-perpetuating

institutions. These people actually do something. They actually help people and can make a difference in this community...Please support these people.”

Byers said he’s “very depressed” about the state of the corrections system today

A horrific scene involving an injured animal played out in downtown Picton Sunday evening as a fawn crashed through the doorway of a local business.

A witness told the Gazette the young deer emerged from William Street before bolting across Main Street and through the mirrored glass window of Fitness Powers Wellness Studios at 237 Main Street.

Hailey Van Rossum was working at Slickers Ice Cream shop directly across the street from the fitness and training facility when she heard the crash.

“I was talking to one of my co-workers and heard the noise,” Van Rossum said. “We looked across the street and there was a giant hole in the door of the studio.”

At the same time, a man entered the store and said he saw the deer meander up William just moments prior before the deer crashed through the entrance way.

Van Rossum said the trio watched the exposed doorway and moments later noticed the animal attempting to climb back through the hole it had just made before emerging and sprinting towards the ice cream

parlour.

“It came barreling across the street, running for the store,” Van Rossum said. “We were all standing by our doorway and the deer was looking right at us.

I said 'Oh my gosh, it's going to come into our store!'.”

The disoriented animal turned at the last second, colliding with the store front.

It would continue east along Main street, cutting right at the Canada Post parking lot and limping through the tree line at the south end of the property, leaving a massive blood trail as it went.

“We were crying, it was pretty emotional,” Van Rossum said.

Studio owner Tracey Powers said she was travelling from Ottawa when she was notified about the scene that had taken place at her studio.

She added that the damage caused by the animal should be repaired by the end of the week and that the studio was open for business.

The animal, weighing about 80 lbs and likely being part of the 2016 birth class of the Prince Edward County deer population, collapsed in a grassy area near the junction of Mary, East Mary and William streets and was humanely put out of its suffering.
