Terroir uncorks busy tourist season Council defers LCBO Winegrowers toast variance approval their new releases to address concerns at Crystal Palace CHAD IBBOTSON
About 30 people attend special meeting about rebuilding store at corner of Lake, Main streets
STAFF WRITER
More than 50 wineries and other vendors kicked off the summer season during Saturday's Terroir wine and farmers market. Businesses from across the county gathered at Picton's Crystal Palace to take part in the celebration of local flavours, where handcrafted wine, artisan bread, preserves and other products took centre stage. Hillier Creek Estates owner Kemp Stewart said it there was a great crowd just a short time into Saturday's festivities. He said the event gives the wineries an opportunity to showcase new products. “It really is the introductory wine event, that was the purpose right from the beginning, for new wine releases and that sort of thing,” he said. “Just to let not only the local community, but our customers also come out and sample the wares of most of the members of PECWA (Prince Edward County Winegrowers Association).” He said the event has grown substantially since its beginning, noting the event is turning much more into a farmer's market. He said that's only a benefit to the area. “We used to get between 500–700 customers attending

when it was only a wine event, but we could probably expect three to four times that today,” Stewart said. “It's benefitting everybody. It's not just the wine industry, but all those adjunct small businesses that are able to take advantage of the visitor traffic.” Stewart said the influx of dollars has allowed those small artisan businesses to thrive and has contributed to a new local aura in Prince Edward County. “There's a life that's been brought out that I don't think was there 10 or 15 years ago,”
he said. “It's fun and folks are enjoying it.” Among the visitors were Picton's Mike Mason and Kingston's Jim Parker. Mason said it was his second time visiting Terroir, and he's come away impressed both times. “It's just the selection, the number of vendors, and it's just the way it's put together,” he said. “They do a good job.” Mason said Terroir is also a hit with tourists, something he said is a great benefit to Prince Edward County. Comparing county wines
with others he's tried, Mason said local products have taken great strides over the years. “We've been tasting county wines more or less since they started and there's been tremendous improvement,” said Mason. “Like a lot of things, it's all about personal taste … it's interesting to see the improvement from year to year.” In terms of Saturday's event, Parker said he visited Terroir about four years ago and he has seen improvement. “It's much bigger, it's very well organized,” he said.
Council pointed to the municipality's own development process as reason for deferring approval of a minor variance that would allow construction of a new LCBO in Picton. The minor variance would allow the proposed building to be constructed with a zero setback from the property line on two sides — fronting Main Street and Lake Street with a rounded corner at the intersection — bringing the building to the edge of the sidewalk. Parking would be moved to the rear of the building. Approximately 30 residents attended a special committee of adjustment meeting on Tuesday, many of them to oppose the approval of the variance, citing concerns about heritage, safety, and insufficient public consultation. Ultimately, council voted to defer approval of the variance to allow the developer to work with municipal staff to alleviate some of the residents' concerns. A follow-up report is expected no later than June 17.
Mayor Robert Quaiff said he believes the variance is minor in nature and conforms to the municipality's official plan. However, he said there did appear to be a lack of consultation. “We've seen before where we have site plan agreements come before council and, admittedly so, there seems to have been a lack of public input and public consultation with respect to a planning public meeting,” he said. “That's an area we, as a council, really need to look at improving and making that process more transparent. “

More than 12 pounds of prescription drugs collected Saturday OPP stages its annual drop-off to ensure unused narcotics don’t fall into the wrong hands CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER
Prince Edward OPP once again encouraged residents to responsibly dispose of unused medications. The detachment joined others across the province in supporting the Prescription Drug Drop Off Day, collecting unused or expired prescription medications in an effort to keep the drugs out of the wrong hands. Midway through Saturday's collection, Prince
Edward OPP community services officer Const. Anthony Mann indicated about 12 pounds of drugs had been dropped off at the detachment. “We're not done yet, there's still a couple of hours to go in the event,” he said. Mann said locally the OPP have participated in the provincial Prescription Drug Drop Off Day for the last several years. He said the event has proved to be a positive one for the community.
“It's seen success and that really speaks for itself. We want to make sure people are properly disposing of their medications whether they be expired or unused,” he said. “We don't want to see the medications falling into the wrong hands — we want to sure they're safe and they secure.” Mann said aside from preventing the drugs from ending up in the hands of people who could abuse them, the OPP also wants to

ensure residents aren't flushing their medications down the toilet or sending them to the landfill. “It certainly is a concern, in two parts — the environmental concern and the community safety,” he said. “We don't want people that aren't prescribed these medications using and, as far as in this community, it's a concern within our society and we're not immune to that.” Prince Edward County OPP collected the unused medications on Saturday at the detachment between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. but the OPP are reminding residents that all pharmacies in Ontario will accept unused prescriptions at any time. “We want to encourage everyone to do their part to ensure we're doing what we can to keep our community safe,” Mann said. There is limited information on prescription drug abuse rates in the province, but 2014 research from the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences and St. Michael’s Hospital found that opioid-related deaths in Ontario have jumped 242 per cent over the last 20 years from 127 deaths annually in 1991 to 550 deaths annually in 2010. The painkillers morphine, codeine, and oxycodone are all examples of opioids.

Cheese festival founder looks forward to more growth in fifth year makers, like the pair from the Cherry Valley area are driven by their passion. “From that passion comes good cheese,” he said. “Without 10 years of effort, they’re now producing beautiful cheeses.” Kolesnikovs also noted the artisan foods side of the festival continues to grow with more items like olives, honey, and charcuterie available than ever before. New for this year, the festival will feature a special exhibit of fine cheeses from Quebec under the Amour et Tradition banner. The winners from the Canadian Cheese Grand Prix will also have
More than 500 artisan food products to be showcased June 6-7 ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER
The Great Canadian Cheese Festival figures to be even greater when the gates open for a fifth year June 6-7. The festival’s founder, Georgs Kolesnikovs, says it may even be too large for its guests to get a true appreciation of all the artisan food products on display at the Crystal Palace if they used every available minute. “I believe there are at least 500 cheeses, artisan foods, wines, beers, and ciders represented,” he said. “Even if you come for two days, you couldn’t taste it all.” A culinary journalist and event promoter by trade, Kolesnikovs recognized there wasn’t a Canadian event to showcase the fine artisan cheese being produced in this country. He decided he’d create one and he wanted to be in the heart of a rural, cheesemaking area instead of a cold convention centre. He fell in love when he saw the Crystal Palace and decided that Picton would be the festival’s home. His hunch, coupled with the increasing presence of some strong producers, has brought droves of people to visit the festival. In Year 1, just over 1,900
their products available for sampling and purchase. The annual Makers + Mongers celebration on Saturday night will have a “Cheeseburgers in Paradise” theme and feature a Jimmy Buffett tribute artist. To thank visitors for supporting the festival the past five years, the committee has arranged for giveaways for the first 1,000 people through the doors on Saturday and on Sunday. Saturday’s giveaway is free curd, provided by St. Albert Cheese, just east of Ottawa.

people visited. Last year, about 4,607 came through the gates. The number of exhibitors has also risen from an initial intake of 50 to the more than 130 expected. “I feel so satisfied that this festival has continued to grow. I’m also quite pleased the cheeses being produced are some of the finest in the world,” Koesnikovs said. He noted a festival favourite, the Glengarry Lancaster Aged Loaf, was named global champion recently.
Also, the festival has also sponsored the Canadian Cheese Grand Prix, which served to shine the light on some top producers across the country. “The artisan cheese industry in Canada is growing and it will continue to grow because the consumer demand is there,” he said. The festival has also served as a place for producers to introduce new products and to market themselves to a wider audience.

Kleinsteuber settles in after landmark vote Calgary-Northern Hills rep says his top priority is representing riding, building association JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER
FLYING TO EDMONTON Airline employee-turned Alberta MLA Jamie Kleinsteuber is coming to terms with being part of the biggest political turnaround in that province’s history., the election of an NDP government. (Facebook photo)
It's not that Wellington native Jamie Kleinsteuber didn't think he could win the constituency of Calgary-Northern Hills in last weeks Alberta election. After all, when you are staring down the barrel of four decades of consecutive Conservative rule and representing a party that would consider picking up 10 of 87 seats at the Legislative Assembly in Alberta as a windfall, Kleinsteuber and his fellow New Democrats were likely hoping against hope when Alberta Premier Jim Prentice called for an election earlier this year.
But something happened on the way to the Alberta Legislature Building in Edmonton and yet another Conservative majority in Wild Rose Country. First, Albertans grew tired of Premier Jim Prentice and the long standing Conservatives who had started to get too comfortable in their chairs at the parliamentary chamber. Second, voters in oil country started to look for a leader they could believe in and rallied behind NDP leader Rachel Notley who had a notable name among the party faithful. These factors and a turning tide amongst Alberta voters lead the NDP to their

first government in the history of the province. Two days after being part of an orange wave which surged to power and washed away 44 years of Conservative governments, Kleinsteuber was still on cloud nine. “I'm still kind of wrapping my head around all this,” he told the Gazette last week. “There's certain ridings in this city we weren't expecting to have a breakthrough in and Calgary is a smaller base for the party...” Admittedly, Kleinsteuber's riding was not a target riding for the party and it didn't have a formal riding association in place prior to the election. “All this campaign I've been looking for members that could serve in an executive capacity,” the airline employee said. “My goals in this campaign were very simple: Build a riding association, raise some money and represent the NDP in this area.” On top of campaigning, Kleinsteuber had commitments to neighbouring NDP candidates in target ridings to assist them in their bids while also assisting NDP candidate Cam Westhead who was running in Banff-Cochrane, a riding the County native cut his teeth in during the 2012 campaign. “Wild, eh?” Kleinsteuber said of his victory. This surprising victory came after former Federal Cabinet Minister Prentice rode onto the provincial scene last fall like a rock star, making a bunch of popular decisions in an attempt regain the party's mojo. With the other parties in disarray (the Wild Rose party was in shambles after

a massive floor crossing and Kleinsteuber's NDP party was without a leader), Prentice did what experienced leaders in power do to keep the odds in their favour- call elections when they can win them. But in came Notley and “kind of stole the show,” gaining the NDP leadership with a high majority and presenting a message of hope during the leadership debates that struck a chord with voters. “She had grown up in the party (He late father Grant was party leader in the 1980s) and members could get behind her. People connected with her and there she was at the debates with these three other characters nobody could connect to,” Kleinsteuber said. A knee surgery in late February almost kept Kleinsteuber out of the race. Given his potential mobility issues, he was very close to leaving himself off the ballot but a quick rehabilitation, some help from his fellow airline employees and whoever jumped aboard along the way helped Kleinsteuber defeat two time MLA Teresa WooPaw. With his experience in the airline sector and having been a party member almost from the day he moved to the province in 2010, Kleinsteuber could wind up with a cabinet post but he wasn't putting the horse before the cart. “If I can be a good representative for this riding, that's my top priority,” Kleinsteuber said. “I've got to build up the riding association and setup some structure because there isn't any right now.”

County native Rodgers wins Liberal nomination in Ottawa-area riding politics we've seen in the past,” he said. Growing up here, Rodgers worked for Whattam's Funeral Home and Lockyer Flower Shop and said the life lessons gained in the mid-1990s stick with him today. “(Funeral director) Mike Humphrey taught me to be open minded and treat people with class and dignity while (past owner) Mark Davis taught me to be a problem solver and I remember him saying 'You can accomplish a lot by simply picking up the phone.'

Hopeful looks to unseat cabinet member Poilievre in upcoming election JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER
Somewhere in the humid air of a late June night in 1995, PECI valedictorian Matthew Hofford wound up his commencement speech by reciting a portion of Dr. Seuss' final published work Oh, The Places You'll Go. While none of 250 or so graduates sitting on the pad at the Prince Edward Community Centre that night could have known it, a pair of individuals would heed, either consciously or otherwise, the insistence of Seuss to leave town, find new adventures and move mountains.. Just days after class of 1995 alumnus Jamie Kleinsteuber won the seat of Calgary-Northern Hills in the last weeks provincial election in Alberta, fellow classmate Chris Rodgers won the nomination to represent the Liberal Party of Canada in the newly formed Carleton riding (Stittsville-North Gower-Kars) in the upcoming federal election. Yes, the seeds of that class of PECI graduates have sprouted a pair of politically ambitious Panthers. The former Centre Street resident who has spent the last decade in the Ottawa area said he was elated to have the support of Carleton riding membership. “People are ready for a positive message and our riding association is energized,” Rodgers told the Gazette Monday. “Progressives and moderates are looking for positive leadership and that's what we are offering.” A well-travelled student who holds a degree from Laurentian University in Sudbury, a masters from Montreal's McGill University and has studied at the world's oldest political science department at Uppsala University in Sweden, Rodgers held down posts in the Public Safety and Natural Resources Ministries as well as a position with Elections Canada in Ottawa before recently transitioning to education and a career in teaching. Always a keen observer of politics since his days at PECI, Rodgers thought it

best to become involved with the federal Liberal party when he was approached by members of the local riding association. “That was the indicator for me when someone from the party approached and said 'We think you are the one that should be throwing your hat in the ring and if you do, we'll help you.',” Rodgers explained. His new community of Kars is a lot like his old community of Picton and it's the strong rural roots he grew here that have helped Rodgers connect to people in the Ottawa Valley. “The riding is built around small, close knit communities and those same small towns sensibilities apply. Farming is a big part of the local economy but it's also a key part of the riding's cultural make up.” Taking a break after winning the nomination Saturday, Rodgers hadn't yet spoken to local Bay of Quinte Liberal candidate Neil Ellis but was hopeful to in the coming days. “I've spoken to him previous (to the nomination meeting) and I think the people of the county are in a great position to have an excellent candidate like Neil Ellis. He's going to do a great job,” Rodgers added. Husband to Metcalfe native Jenny and father to
three month old Cameron, Rodgers said the things that make Canada great are being diminished under the current Harper government but didn't want to focus on partisan politics in the afterglow of earning the nomination. In the candidate's view, Party leader Justin Trudeau has the guts and courage to be himself, a trait that resonates with Canadians. “What we need in Canada more than anything is positive leadership that's genuine and (Trudeau) embodies that. As a candidate, that gives me confidence in him and gives me energy.” Rodgers said. “I'm going to go out there and give voters positive reasons to vote for the Liberal Party. It's not enough to say the other guys aren't good enough, therefore you should vote for us. The Liberal Party is going to fight for fairness for the middle class.” Rodgers said he was encouraged by Kleinsteuber's victory in the heart of what was Conservative Canada's backyard. “I've stayed in touch with (Kleinsteuber) throughout his campaign and I'm proud of what he's accomplished. The win by his party provides encouragement that Canadians all over the country are open to an alternative to the negative and cynical

Choices impact others, lead to consequences
O
NE soccer fan enjoying a day out at the pitch with his friends found out the hard way that he should have been more careful to use his filter. Hydro One noticed the man who shouted vulgarities at a female reporter outside a Toronto FC game on the weekend was one of its staff members and it exercised a clause in his contract to remove him from his employment. While one might rightly question what the man’s comments had to do with his duties in the overall scheme of delivering power to residents — there’s likely a separate commentary there about what has to happen in terms of performance for some people in the province’s energy bureacracy to be let go — the company has a code of conduct for its employees and one can surmise those employees should know to follow that code. When someone enters into such an agreement, it is expected they live up to it, regardless of their own personal freedoms. The incident strikes a perfect example for the lessons that PECI administrators and educators are trying to teach their students through the recent “Am I in Trouble?” presentations and partnerships with community agencies. More than ever, we live in a connected world and each of us represents ourselves and those we associate with at all times. With some exceptions, there are limits to the amount of privacy that anyone can expect. As a result, there are consequences to actions Though a decision might feel right or self-fulfilling at the time in a moment, it likely will be witnessed by

others and if it wasn’t the right decision, it could have far-reaching consequences that will impact lives for years to come. The incident at the soccer game proves it is very hard to be anonymous in a public setting. There should also be enough examples circulating through news media for our youth to realize that social media and communications networks are not private and actions taken via those methods may find their way into the public Jean Morrison Debbie McCann realm with potential consequences arising. Publisher Business Manager Educators like those responsible for this week’s presentations at PECI should be commended for their efforts to reach young people and drill this lesson home over and over again. If their hours of work and collaborative efforts will have helped at least one young person think twice before acting then they’d probably feel it was time well spent. One hopes the message reaches much farther and engages youth to think about their place in society and about the examples in front of them. Perhaps they’ll make a different choice and change the events of their own lives and others. Though we imagine the actions taken by Hydro One will be the Karen Gyde Christine DeMille source of much debate in the future and though many may say the Classifieds Manager Classifieds worker in question deserved a better fate, the fact incidents like these happened can do worlds of good. They make us all take notice of the consequences of the actions of individuals in society. They force us to contemplate our own actions in public situations and demonstrate those choices do have an impact we must consider.

Over the past 60 years or so the focus of human activity in our culture has shifted radically--from the creation of well-being for families and communities to the creation of products and profit. This shift is expressed, among other things, through the industrialization and globalization of agriculture, fisheries, and the processing of fruit, vegetable, meat, and dairy. For the county, all this has meant that the defining feature of the last 60 years of our history has been the almost total destruction of our traditional ways of life, and of the stability and sus-
tainability of our local economy--losses which not only continue today but deepen as industrialization and commercialization are now taking out the very things that made our traditional ways of life possible in the first place, things like soil fertility and natural beauty. All of which makes Peter Lockyer's comment, "What we need to do is view our history as a product like anything else...we need to commercialize and profit from it," fairly chilling. But Lockyer does make a strong point about using the assets we already have,
rather than trying to create something new, to generate good jobs in the County. I'd take his idea one step further. How about using the jobs we already have to generate good jobs in the County? Over the past decade or so, thanks to the growth of viticulture in the county in particular, many new permanent seasonal full-time jobs have been created in agriculture here. In general the rate of pay is so low, and the expectation of labour so high, that these jobs are being filled by temporary foreign workers since local workers for the

most part can't afford to take them. The growth of tourism in the County has also created many new jobs, the majority of which pay only poverty level wages. Imagine the well-being that would be created for local families, the local community, and the local economy if every job in agriculture and tourism in the county paid a wage adequate to support a Canadian family. Perhaps the community development commission and County council could issue public statements condemning the use of
temporary foreign workers to fill permanent local agricultural jobs. Or lobby our provincial government to include farm labourers in all the basic provisions of the Employment Standards Act, including minimum wage, overtime pay, and maximum work hours. Or put pressure on the powers that be to raise the minimum wage. Or demand better income support for seasonal workers, since the local and the national economy couldn't function without them.

All county schools contributed to Pedal For Hope success
First, let me say thanks to the Gazette for its coverage of Pedal For Hope, an initiative by the police that involves students county-wide. These students, along with their parents and staff at the school, have raised thousands of dollars for pediatric cancer research, through sales of milkshakes, Spirit Days, and special challenges to raise money at school. The initiative ends with a pumpedup assembly, where some brave students have their heads shaved, donating

Friends of the Picton Library book sale among upcoming events
The Friends of the Picton Library are holding their annual Spring Quality Book Sale on Saturday, May 23 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Picton branch. The sale, which features nearly new books and where rare titles can sometimes be found as well, raises money for many improvements at the library. “Over the past few years, with the help of folks in the community,” says Doug Sloane, Chair of the Friends of the Picton Library, “we have raised more than $10,000 through the sale of books alone.” Donations of gently used hardcover, paperback, fiction and non-fiction books may be dropped off for the sale, upstairs at the Picton library branch front desk on, or before, Thursday, May 21. The Friends
INSIDE THE LIBRARY Christine Renaud
are also in need of help setting up and working at the sale. Those interested are asked to contact Doug Sloane at 613-476-3277. While browsing for great book deals, please
stop by Krista Dalby’s Re: Collections Project table, which will be set up during the sale, and share a library memory with her. Dalby, co-owner of Small Pond Arts, has embarked on a creative arts project that involves collecting people’s stories about libraries. These can be from childhood or adulthood, funny, poignant or just a slice of life that involves a library experience. All the stories gathered will culminate in three separate art events in partnership with the library in the fall. For more information on Re:Collections, visit: smallpondarts.ca Also, this month, on two consecutive Saturdays, children’s Ukulele Story Time is happening at the Milford branch on May 16th and in Picton on May 23. Both are at 11a.m. and
all ages are welcome. Adults interested in learning Basic Ukulele for Beginners are invited to register for the 4-week ukulele classes at the Picton branch starting June 4. The classes will run from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. and registration is required as space is limited. Contact Aaron Nash at: anash@peclibrary.org or call Aaron at 613-476-5962. A new series of “Absolute Beginner French” is being offered at the Ameliasburgh branch of the library starting on May 13, though new members are welcome to join one week in, on May 20. Contact Christine at: crenaud@peclibrary.org or call the Ameliasburgh branch at 613-968-9327 to reserve a space. For those interested in the latest in technology, the Picton branch will be intro-
ducing its new 3D printer on Tuesday, May 26 at 6 p.m. Come learn what the printer can do, how it works, and see a demonstration of a three dimensional item being made. Lastly, the library is pleased to offer a special workshop hosted by artist Chrissy Poitras called “Using Etsy and Social Media to Sell Arts & Crafts” on Saturday, May 30. The workshop runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and is free, though registration is required with Christine at crenaud@peclibrary.org. Those interested must be proficient with computers and familiar with Etsy, facebook and Pinterest as a prerequisite.

Giveaways of curd, grilled cheese sandwiches planned as part of anniversary celebration CHEESE, from page 3
That cheesemaker was willing to step forward with the offer because it is celebrating a new and expanded plant, recovering from a fire that destroyed everything about two years ago — a harrowing experience Black River Cheese customers can
appreciate after a similar loss in 2001. St. Albert is also celebrating its first-place finish for aged cheddar in the recent Canadian Grand Prix. On Sunday, the first 1,000 visitors will be treated to a grilled cheese sandwich thanks to Stonemill Bakehouse, the Stirling Cream-
ery, and Cheddar & Ale Trail cheese producers. That promotion will kick off a special competition in which four leading chefs will compete to see who can cook their 250 sandwiches the quickest. Some of the chefs expected include Norm Aitken of Ottawa’s Empire Restaurant, Eric
Brennan of Le Chien Noir in Kingston, and Jackie Dalimonte of Sobeys Urban Fresh. The winning chef will have $1,000 donated to a favoured charity, while donations from guests will be given to the Quinte Region Food Share Shelter. Tickets are available in advance at cheesefestival.ca
and with a special promotional code, there is a 10-percent discount on admission to the main fair, the Makers + Mongers event, and some special talks, tours, and cooking classes. Discounted admissions are available for groups and seniors, while children 15 and under will be admitted
to the main festival for free when accompanied by an adult. One special presentation this year, a reception with famed chef Jamie Kennedy on his Pleasant Valley Farm in Hillier farm featuring a dinner made with artisan cheeses has already sold out.

STAFF WRITER
Am I in trouble? It’s a simple question that PECI child and youth counsellor Rob Furmidge hears often in his line of work. Unfortunately, he said, it is one that carries a lot of weight for students. “It’s the most difficult question I get asked in my office,” he said. “That question is full of pain, it’s full of fear, and anguish.” Unfortunately, he said, the answer is all too often “yes” and that’s where it becomes trickier. “Our goal is to help the student navigate that problem and quite often, their parents as well.” Hearing the question a little too often, Furmidge spoke with OPP officers Const. Sean Guscott and Const. Anthony Mann and pulled together partners for a series of student and parent presentations Tuesday. Matt Sheahan’s drama students presented quick, accurate portrayals of scenes that have landed young people in trouble before — bullying, sexual assault, sexting, and abusive relationships. After each, the police officers gave succinct reasoning for why the students were, in fact, in trouble and what they could face — the perpetrators within the justice system and the victims as they attempt to rebuild their lives. Those presentations dealt with the immediate consequences — arrests, probation, counselling, orders that could tear apart friendships. The follow-up presentations by community support agencies gave a much more detailed picture. Assistant Crown attorney Paul Layefski told the students if convicted of a crime, they’d likely have a tough time going to the United States or anywhere else abroad. He added that many could also have trouble taking college or university courses to become personal support workers, police, lawyers, doctors, or teachers. He said it takes three years after a completed probation or jail sentence to see a summary offence come off a record and five years for an indictable offence. “In one minute of your life, you can do something that can change your whole life,” he said. “A picture of someone naked that took you a second or two to take or to sext, that could follow you the rest of your life.” Layefski said even in being tried, students can put themselves in embarrassing situations, explaining why they’re not at school or telling their parents why they have to spend money on lawyers. He challenged them to raise their voice if they see something wrong taking

place and make a difference. Counsellor Kerry Cole of Community Organized Support and Prevention also spoke to students about probation and about orders that could be placed on students to attend counselling. Some of the other resource workers present discussed what they can do to help the victims of a crime. Stella Weese, of Victim Services, said all victims of crime would come across someone like her in the process. She said provide support for victims through police and court proceedings, particularly for those who don’t have family or friends or wish to not involve them. “Victim Services would ensure you have all the support services necessary to keep you moving forward.” She said there is also money available to help victims. They’re eligible for $1,000 of private counselling, they may be able to get cell phones if theirs were seized, and there is funding for emergency home repairs if a situation involves an offender with keys or if a door has been damaged. “That’s something that Victim Services deals with on a daily basis,” she said. Rahno Boutilier, the executive director of Alternatives For Women, also spoke to students, stating her organization helps women aged 16 and up, though she encouraged any students 15 or younger to call if they need support. Boutilier said her organization may not be present at the time of crisis like Victim Services, but they can provide ongoing support through court proceedings and as an assault victim attempts to rebuild a life. She said prevention and early intervention are also preferable solutions and
many times, there are red flags that signal physical, emotional, or financial abuse. Rachael Fraser, a registered nurse with Quinte Healthcare’s Domestic Violence Sexual Assault Response Program also told students of a 24/7 service available at each of the corporations’ four hospitals where sexual assault can be medically and forensically documented all while preserving the patients’ right to decide whether to involve police or not. Following the student presentations during the day time, Sheahan read some questions students had about the presentations. One of the questions he said came up several times was why teens can get into trouble for sending nude photographs, while adults don’t. Layefski explained the difference is the content of the photos. If the subject is under age 18, even if he or she was the originator of the images, those are still considered child pornography. Adults who send, store, or share those photographs are also guilty and likely, they would have more difficulty with the justice system in that way. Mann took his answer in a different direction and told students to think of it as a scale of risk they were willing to take by sending images of themselves online. “Let’s say you want to send a picture of yourself in that state — provocative, maybe partially naked — to your boyfriend or girlfriend,” he said. “Then, you break up. Those photos are shared. Think about it, those photos were intended for whomever you sent them to. Were you prepared to share them with the world? That’s the risk you put yourself in.”

More spring gardening chores and some tips to successfully grow food in your garden
As a gardener weather is never far from my thoughts, and retiring and becoming a Master Gardener has only made it worse – warm enough, too warm, too wet, on the verge of drought and on and on. Fortunately, I refuse to take variable weather too seriously and this spring is no exception. Looking back, it is clear to me that we have always had extremes of weather. Farmers have to take weather seriously as it is their livelihood. The rest of us just have to cope. This coming Victoria Day weekend has always been our defining garden moment with its alleged end of the frost date. This marks a major garden start up for most of us. Containers are planted, grass is mowed if you have managed to ignore it so far and many weeds are moved from the garden to the com-

poster. Most importantly many people make plans for how they will enjoy their outdoor space until colder weather drives them to spend more time inside. Meanwhile this is a great time to check out shrubs and small trees in relationship to the need for pruning either immediately or later in the summer. Large trees are better left to professional tree surgeons unless the repairs are small and easy to access. The work required is easier to plan for when the leaves are small or non-existent and the branches and stalks are more clearly visible. Last fall we encouraged gardeners to refrain from pruning any-

thing other than dead or broken branches so as not to encourage growth just before winter dormancy. Growth spurts then would weaken the plant. Branches damaged by the winter storms can be similarly pruned now. Many bushes develop numerous stalks over time that will eventually, if left unchecked, weaken the shrub. Spring can be a good time to remove the smaller weaker stalks and crossed branches even for spring flowering shrubs. More individualized pruning advice for specific shrub types can be found online, in encyclopaedias of trees and shrubs and in books written specifically on pruning. Clear pictures as well as text can be useful both for the novice and the experienced pruner. The removal of larger stalks that are crowding the shrub itself or neighbouring

shrubs can be planned for now as it is easy to see the problems when the leaves are small or non-existent, but executed later following shrub specific instructions. Given the current county interest in both community gardens and the Fresh for All programs both of which are supported by Master Gardeners, I am returning once more to my ongoing discussions on growing food. Seeds for the hardier vegetables, which include lettuces (and arugula and spinach), peas, beans, carrots, beets and radishes can be sown even before the last frost and certainly can be sown now. Most of these plants need to be sown more than once over the spring and summer. Some plants such as peas and lettuces that do not do well in hot conditions can be sown now and again as it cools off in August. Partial shade can

also be successfully used to grow some of these vegetables during the hotter months. I always sow radishes with my carrots as the former comes up quickly and marks the rows for the slower growing carrots. The radishes are harvested early and then leave space for the carrots to grow. More tender vegetables such as tomatoes, cucumbers and yams should wait until the warmer weather in June before being put out in the garden. Given our growing season, seedlings or sprouts are generally more successful than seeds but if you like to experiment you can try both methods. Perennials such as rhubarb and asparagus cannot be harvested in the first year or so after being planted in the garden. Harvesting gradually increases as the plant ages. It is important to
follow the directions for the plants or roots involved to promote long-term use. With strawberries the reverse is true, harvesting is at a high point when the plants are young but decreases as they age, so the plants should be replaced every few years. Both raspberries and strawberries have early, late and ongoing production varieties. Try the variations that are most appealing to you. Mark your calendar for Saturday, May 23 to attend our annual Master Gardener’s Plant Sale held in Metro’s parking lot from 8 to 12 a.m.. There will be a demonstration on container planting at 9 a.m..

Meals on Wheels might help you one day when you can’t make dinner
Imagine a caring person walking to the door of your home with a hot meal for you to enjoy. Community Care can arrange to have hot meals delivered right to the door of seniors. Our volunteers are the best and they will bring the meals at the noon hour. Their brief visit is also a security check because if the senior doesn’t come to the door a follow up is always undertaken by office staff. We also have frozen meals that can be ordered in advance and kept on hand to have just in case you’re having a down day, or a day when arthritis has flared up and meal preparation is out of the question. Delivery of hot meals to the door of a senior is a service designed to people remain in their own home as long as possible. As people age they usually have to learn to cope with one or more chronic illnesses such as high blood pressure, arthritis, diabetes, hearing loss, osteoporosis, etc. There are times when seniors just don’t feel well enough to prepare a nutritious meal. Some seniors might be very active but at times need to have some food on hand that is ready to eat. This is where Community Care comes in. We want you to know that these meals aren’t just for other seniors. Maybe these meals are for you. Think carefully. It would be quite unfortunate if just a little bit of help was needed but wasn’t used. Seniors who fall into that “tea and toast” routine can become weak, sometimes fall. A broken hip can be the beginning of a slippery slope that lands a person in a long-term care home. Why not just call and arrange to try the hot or frozen meals? Call today.
happier lives? Studies prove this. Helping others helps you. You may refer someone who needs meals delivered to their home or you can call to receive the meals yourself. Call Community Care at 613476-7493. Watch a wonderful video about our meals program on our web site at www.communitycareforseniors.org

Adamthwaite contends by being forced to act as his own counsel, he wasn’t able to present necessary evidence regarding proposal
Heritage conservation district opponents vow to appeal OMB decision in court CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER
Those opposed to Picton's heritage conservation district aren't prepared to give up and have served the municipality's legal counsel with notice they intend to appeal the Ontario Munici-
pal Board decision issued on April 27. Unhappy with the OMB decision, Picton property owner Paul Adamthwaite said he has served a notice of motion for leave to appeal. If leave to appeal is granted, the appeal would
be heard by the Divisional Court branch of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. In her 36-page decision, OMB member Mary-Anne Sills dismissed the appeal against the heritage conservation district plan, saying intervention was not war-
ranted. The decision says the district plan meets the criteria of the Ontario Heritage Act, the Provincial Policy Statement, and is in the greater public interest. Further, Sills found no credible evidence of the appellants' argument that the district plan isn't in compliance with the Heritage Act, refuted suggestions the plan was vague, and suggestions the municipality did not provide for sufficient public consultation. Adamthwaite said he's not pleased with that decision. He said when arrangements for legal counsel fell through he was forced to act as his own counsel, meaning he couldn't also act as a witness at the hearing. He said other witnesses and some pieces of evidence were turned down flat, and he contests the OMB member's assertions that some of his arguments were outside the board's jurisdiction. “The board said they didn't have jurisdiction in certain matters and we feel they did,” said Adamthwaite. “They just refused to hear things.” He said in some ways he felt he was being treated unfairly. “We were unhappy with that hearing, we were unhappy with all of the public meetings and notices to public,” he said. The district would comprise 192 properties from Lake Street to Shire Hall, Bridge Street from the top of the hill and along the south shore of Picton harbour to the Claramount Inn, and Union Street from Bridge Street to Church Street including Macaulay Heritage Park. Each property would be designated heritage under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act. Part V of the act allows for municipalities to expropriate any property within the district to ensure the property is protected, but this provision is rarely used. Adamthwaite said through all the public meetings and passing of the bylaw, the word expropriation was never mentioned. “That threat to the community just never was made public,” he said. “There is an obligation, some way or another, that the public should be informed of what council is doing.” The plan sets out some building guidelines and a permit process. Heritage permits would
PRESERVATION Picton’s heritage conservation district plan would require the owners of 192 properties in the town’s core area to apply for heritage permits for certain alterations to their buildings.(Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)
have to be obtained for any major or minor alterations to the exterior of buildings within the district. Major permits would be required for things like demolitions, construction of new buildings, or replacement of storefronts. Minor permits would be required for alteration to or replacement of exterior building elements facing Main Street, side streets or laneways such as windows, doors or decorative trim. Alterations to storefronts and additions to portions of a building not visible from streets also may require minor heritage permits. Minor repairs — replacing panel mouldings on a front door, part of an eave fascia board, or tread on entrance steps — would not require a heritage permit. Weather stripping, caulking of windows and doors, and repainting of wood, stucco, brick or metal finishes in traditional or compatible colours, and interior renovations would also not require any permit. While he continues to clarify that he is in no way against protecting heritage, Adamthwaite contends the
plan involves too much red tape. “This municipality is very unhappy with Queen's Park because they feel the Green Energy Act takes away municipal power to have any say in wind mills,” he said. “…Guess what the property owners on Main Street feel like — we feel exactly the same.” He said he agrees Main Street needs revitalization, but he said the district isn't the way to do it. “The mayor says he is sure that in time the heritage district will revitalize Main Street, quite frankly I presented to council a survey that we had done where 95 per cent of the people we asked about it didn't see it as revitalization,” said Adamthwaite. “They saw it as putting a chill on investing any money in Main Street.” Law firm Reynolds O'Brien of Belleville will be representing Adamthwaite this time around. Adamthwaite indicated while he is concerned about the cost, registered charity the Canadian Constitution Foundation will be supporting his appeal.
Habitat for Humanity chooses new administrator
The Prince Edward-Hastings chapter of Habitat for Humanity is turning to a familiar face to lead it into the future. Bob Clute, Habitat’s board chair, agreed to serve as the organization’s executive director, replacing the retiring Len Kennedy. Recently retired from the automobile business, Clute
is a known philanthropist and has been an active volunteer for several organizations in the Quinte region. Clute said the Habitat opportunity would give him a chance to “get a job doing something I love for the first time in my life.” A statement from the board said that Clute’s passion for Habitat’s mission to
offer families opportunities to purchase affordable homes in their community put him ahead of other candidates. Since 1994, the organization has built 15 homes in the Quinte region, including four that have been built within Prince Edward County.

Variety of wines and foods at Terroir this year doesn’t disappoint Sunny weather helps draw crowds to annual showcase event
Gold Gouda. The third serving was student made sauerkraut, smoked bacon and pork tenderloin peameal on NCI spent grain beer bread. It was fun watching the students interact with all of the customers who were thoroughly impressed with their food. Even though I am not a dessert person, Buffy Cole of ICED Cupcakery did tempt me with one of her incredibly looking cupcakes. How? There was wine involved! Her Chocolate Cherry Lush Cupcakes are a cake base with a Pinot noir (The Grange 2013) reduction, infused into the buttercream icing topped with a wine drenched cherry compote. It delivered a satisfying balance of sweet, rich and full body ... like a fine wine!
TASTY TREATS Students with the Canadian Food & Wine Institute at Niagara College were on hand at Terroir last weekend. Their creations included feta cheese and rhubarb compote on whole grain crackers, a tomato and cucumber salsa with ver jus dressing and gouda, and saukraut smoked bacon and pork tenderloin on grain beer bread.

SIPPIN’ IN THE COUNTY
Although a lot of local people attended, I talked to people from all over Ontario and many made the trip to Picton on Saturday just for this event. Accommodations were fully booked in the county and people were excited to check out the many restaurants and drop by the wineries on their way home Sunday. The weather is looking good again next weekend and I'll once again have the top down as I tour the county checking out the wineries. I'll be dropping by Lacey Estates Winery on Saturday as they are having a free wine and cheese Pairing featuring local cheese along with their different wines. I'll also be stopping by TerraCello Winey on Saturday for their Festa Italiano. Italian Inspired Pizza from their wood fired oven, hand made cannoli’s, live Italian music and of course some great wine. There will also be free facepainting for the kids! Three Dog Winery has a new weekly event called "Open Mic Sundays". This starts around 3 p.m. on Sunday so grab your favourite musical instrument and enjoy some great wine and music on their Tasting Room deck. Maybe I'll be stopping by with my spoons on Sunday afternoon to taste some great "Dog House" wine and play a medley or two! As usual I will be keeping my web site updated with upcoming wine related events in the county and one

The weather co-operated and Terroir was another success! This weekend I did my sippin' under one roof! Saturday was Terroir 2015 at the Crystal Palace which was a farm-to-table inspired event showcasing local food, handcrafted wine, artisan bread, preserves and other one-of-a-kind products from local farmers. There were almost 25 wineries represented under one roof and many food vendors as well. Several farms were represented as well as many small businesses showcasing their products made with local ingredients. It was great to see how all the local businesses were working together to make this event the success it was. There were seminars ranging from discussing Chardonnay styles to how to grow heirloom tomatoes to how preserving can support more sustainable food networks. It was all about food and wine! Although not local, the Canadian Food & Wine Institute from Niagara College was once again involved in the event. They had a threecourse snack that just made my mouth water and it paired perfectly with a glass of Sauvignon blanc I was enjoying from Traynor Estates Winery. First up was student-made feta cheese with Ontario spring rhubarb compote on whole grain seed crackers. Next was a tomato and cucumber salsa with ver jus dressing and Mountain Oak

New coverage plan running to mid-October will see paramedic post established at Wellington Fire Hall to meet village’s service demand the Wellington Fire Hall in co-operation with the Prince Edward County Fire Department. The vehicle will use the post when not roaming the area. The vehicle will remain

mobile unless at the Wellington Fire Station post, assigned to an emergency call, the vehicle at the Picton base is assigned to an emergency call, or the vehicle is required to provide emergency coverage at another HPQS base. In the event the Picton base vehicle receives a call, the roaming vehicle will be sent back to the Picton base. Mayor Robert Quaiff said while on the campaign trail last October there were suggestions the county may have to look at changes to the service in Wellington. In conversations with the mayor, Wellington councillor Jim Dunlop indicated the ambulance visited the village regularly — about four to five times per week. “It became apparent that maybe that service needed to be expanded in that area,” Quaiff said. Quaiff said after talks with HPQS chief and director of emergency services John O'Donnell, the municipality was able to come to an agreement on the roaming vehicle. Quaiff said the paramedics will make use of a bay in the Wellington fire hall that isn't being used by the fire department and will have access to the department's lunchroom and washrooms. “We're hoping it will reduce the response times in that area of the county and provide a better service for them,” said Quaiff. He indicated the trial will be evaluated at its conclusion in October. “We'll be able to take a look at the calls for services numbers and the response times and see whether it's worth having a full-time car in that area,” he said. It's an important change for county residents, Quaiff said, one that should provide some peace of mind for residents in Wellington and the western areas of the county. “Hopefully this will prove to be worthwhile,” he said.
The Baxter Arts Centre in Bloomfield is screening silent movies once again. The next movie on the schedule is May 21’s 7 p.m. screening of A Romance of the Redwoods, a 1917 flick featuring Mary Pickford and Cecil B. DeMille.

Admission is free for the movies, but light refreshments, including popcorn are available for sale. There will be a different movie showing every two weeks.

Sarah Harmer signs on as headliner for second annual Sandbanks New Waves festival Organizers strive to maintain family-friendly atmosphere from successful debut last fall STAFF WRITER
While Sandbanks New Waves is an Indie music festival at heart, it’s secured a headliner with mainstream appeal. Platinum-selling recording artist Sarah Harmer, a nominee for several Juno Awards, has signed on for the Sept. 19 celebration at Sandbanks Provincial Park. A Kingston resident, Harmer is also well-known for her environmental activism, which made her a perfect lead for a show that brings people outside to a provincial park. “She came out to watch some of her friends last year and she loved it. She’s excited to be a part of it, said organizer Ryan J. Noth. “Suffice to say, she is a natural fit for the amphitheatre space at the park.� The other six acts confirmed include Apostle of Hustle, a group Noth says will only perform a select number of shows this year. They offer a folk-rock style. Aroara features modern electro-folk guitar from Apostle of Hustle member Andrew Whiteman
and strong vocals and guitar from his wife Ariel Engle. Thus Owls is a SwedishCanadian experimental rock group from Montreal, which Noth says is led by another husband-wife duo, Simon and Erika Angell. Another Montreal group, Miracle Fortress, is an electronic rock band led by songwriter Graham Van Pelt. Suuns and Jerusalem in My Heart also comes from La Belle Province and it offers vibe-laden songs with analog synths, Arabic influences, and electronic sensibilities. Noth said Folly & The Hunter is another Montreal band that “creates multidimensional folk at its loveliest.� After a successful debut last year that was well received despite the threat of rainy weather, Noth said the festival will maintain much of the spirit it had at its origin. It will still be a family friendly event with a range of free artistic activities to enjoy. Children 12 and under can attend free, accompanied by an adult. The festival will also remain a showplace for local food and cuisine with famil-
Fledderus Financial
opportunities to partner with local accommodations providers to provide valueadded ticketing and lodging packages. Advance tickets are now available at www.sandbanksnewwaves.com. The tickets are $5 cheaper than on show day. Noth said the festival is also seeking corporate sponsorship to help it grow and sustain itself as a late-season draw for visitors. Those interested can contact him by e-mail at ryanjnoth@yahoo.com.

Victoria Day - (in French: FĂŞte de la Reine) is a federal Canadian public holiday celebrated on the last Monday before May 25, in honour of Queen Victoria's birthday. The date is also, simultaneously, that on which the current reigning Canadian sovereign's official birthday is recognized. It is sometimes informally considered as marking the beginning of the summer season in Canada. The holiday has been observed in Canada since at least 1845, originally falling on the sovereign's actual birthday, and continues to be celebrated in various fashions across the country on the fixed date; the holiday has always been a distinctly Canadian observance.[1][2] It is a federal statutory holiday, as well as being a holiday in six of Canada's ten provinces and all three of its territories. In Quebec, the same day was unofficially known as FĂŞte de Dollard from the Quiet Revolution until 2003, when provincial legislation officially created National Patriots' Day on the same date as Victoria Day.

Quinte Youth For Christ talks about her mission at Bloomfield’s Emmanuel Baptist Church JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER
A youth leader who spends her time ministering to local teens offered details on her activities and presented examples of youth coming to Christ last Thursday evening. Sami Lester, the local representative of Quinte Youth For Christ/Youth Unlimited spoke to supporters at a fundraising event at Emmanuel Baptist Church in Bloomfield and explained how through her outreach programming she is helping captivated teens grow spiritually, socially and physical while helping them discover Christ while
being a light at PECI. “The more time I spend around teens and the more time I spend reading magazines about youth culture and what's happening around the world, the more I think we need someone on top of this,” Lester explained “I believe so strongly in this position because things are happening so quickly and the culture is changing by the second.” A pair of local secondary students offered their experiences with YFC/YU to the 100 or so attendees and detailed how their lives had been changed for the better. Lester views this is a payit-forward scenario where, at some point in time, most
of the county's 3,000 youth aged between 11-19 can be impacted. “The way God is changing their lives is going to impact those around them and that keeps going and going,” she explained. Among the weekly programming Lester offers is a critical thinking exercise where students watch popular music videos and are asked to think about what is being said or not being said.
Another element of programming are the Life Transformation Groups where a small group of three students combine lessons from the Bible with their day-to-day issues. “ We can't have a generation of kids growing up and thinking that the bible isn't relevant to today,” Lester explained. Youth conferences, outings and tours are also part of the programming.

Adventurists will once again be invited to play in the mud at Hillier Creek Estates for a good cause this year. On Monday, the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation joined with its partners from the Trenton hospital and the Canadian Cancer Society to announce Grapes of Wrath would return Aug. 29. Last year, some 420 participants took part in the five-kilometre mud run that saw them battle with 14 obstacles set up at the vineyard by military volunteers. In doing so, they raised in the neighbourhood of $80,000 to support cancer care through those three organizations. This year, local firefighters are adding more obstacles to the course with these new implements actually mirroring the implements they use in their own training exercises. Local Cancer Society manager Amy Doyle says the event is a way for individuals and teams to have fun while supporting a great cause within their community. “This race provides a perfect blend of camaraderie and charitable spirit as challengers

come together to participate in this fun and inspiring event,” she said. “Participants collect pledges knowing their donations help local cancer patients in our communities by funding much-needed medical equipment for our hospitals, research to improve treatments and save lives, and local services such as peer support and rides to treatments for patients.” Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation executive director Wendy Warner said she received positive feedback
from the initial event from both seasoned and beginner mudders. She said the course this year will reflect suggestions they’ve made. “Competitors, both rookies and veterans have given their stamps of approval and are now anxiously awaiting this year’s run. We listened and this year there will be even more obstacles through the vines at Hiller. Do you have the grapes to do it?” Those who answered yes to that question can register with an early bird rate of $75
available before May 31. After that date, it will increase to $100 per participant. Individuals or teams of up to 20 can sign up by visiting the web site www.cancer.ca/grapesofwrathPEC or visiting the Facebook page GrapesofWrathCountyRace. Racers will receive a dry-fit t-shirt and dog tags upon completion of the race. Several volunteer and sponsorship opportunities are also available for those who are interested but unable or unwilling to do the race.
LHIN open house next Tuesday
Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation chair Leo Finnegan is encouraging the public to attend Health Care Tomorrow Tuesday, May 19. The event is a drop-in open house organized by the South East Local Health Integration Network (SE LHIN) to engage the public about health-care priorities within the region. It will be held at the Prince Edward Community Centre between 3-7 p.m. Finnegan said stakeholders with the SE LHIN and with the Quinte Healthcare Corporation will be using the information provided to shape their service-delivery models. That could impact on a new Picton hospital and on health-care providers present in the county. “I urge our county residents to come out and provide their feedback,” said Finnegan in a release. “This is a perfect opportunity for residents to become engaged and provide input on the future of our hospital services.” Residents can also take part in the process online by visiting www.healthcaretomorrow.ca to complete a survey and learn more.

Panthers show promise at Bay of Quinte Invitational Track and field team earns a number of podium finishes JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER
The PECI Track and Field Panthers showed some early promise at the Michelle Foley Bay of Quinte Invitational Track and Field meet last week in Belleville with several podium finishes. The meet, which served as a tune up for yesterday's Bay of Quinte Championships, drew all the Bay of Quinte schools as well as a number of schools from outside the Conference including track powerhouses Thousand Islands and Crestwood. Naturally, it was senior sprinter Cole Norton leading the way for the Panthers with a pair of gold as he dominated the 100 m and 200 m events. Norton posted a seasonal best 10.97 in the 100 m and went 200 m in 22.79. “He ran pretty well and he was able to knock some time of his seed time (11.11) which came from a meet at Cornell earlier this season,” PECI track coach Bob Bell said. “He ran pain free and judging how well he did against some the sprinters from TISS, things are looking up for him.” Norton was shelved last

season due to some hamstring pain. In his place in 2014, PECI got an outstanding season from midget sprinter Kenneil Warren who represented the school at the Ontario finals.
Warren finished his year with some lingering leg issues and those issues appear to have reared their ugly head. Warren finished sixth in the 100 m and couldn't start the 200 m on Thursday.
“Unfortunately, he's got issues with shin splints and his calves and he isn't happy with his results. We're not even sure if he can go this week, it could be a scenario like last season where (Nor-
ton) had to be shut down early and skip the season. As usual, the meet offers a first look at some freshman track and field athletes and Grade 9 thrower Sarah Young had an outstanding meet,
placing second in the discus (20.84 m) and fifth in the javelin (20.23 m). Bell said the staff has been impressed with Young's competitiveness. “I don't think she thought she could do as well as she did in terms of her results and she's committed to working harder this week,” He said. “She's got that edge and she's learned from her experience with the girls hockey team what it takes to make it to OFSAA.” Junior thrower javelin thrower Aiden Wallwork continued the strong Wallwork legacy that saw his cousin Ian Wallwork win an OFSAA medal in the same discipline half a dozen summers ago. Wallwork claimed silver with a toss of 42.63 m, missing out on gold by just over half a metre. “It was an incredible throw, he just launched it,” Bell said of Wallwork's effort. PECI could have a great finish in that event at the Bay of Quinte meet as Noah McConnell (38.22 m) and Tristan Blakeley (36.71 m) had top five finishes. “That group is so impressive and we have Keelan Cassidy Barker and Ben Clarke who weren't throwing and will be taking part at the Bay of Quinte,” Bell said. “We are looking forward to what transpires this week.”
Encouraging team environment helps Panthers gymnasts find competitive success OFSAA champion encouraged to try sport after not participating since elementary school ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER
Winning an OFSAA gold medal is normally a tale of years of dedication and minutes of intense pressure. That wouldn’t be Jenn Canizaro’s experience leading up to her floor championship at the provincial festival last week in Sudbury. First of all, she hadn’t even planned on doing any gymnastics at PECI. “I hadn’t done gymnastics COMEBACK CREW PECI’s first gymnastics team in many years since elementary school and I consisted of, clockwise from top left, Taylor Hayes, Hannah Sills, didn’t think I’d ever do it again,” she recalled.

earlier this year, coach Dusty Tibbs discovered Canizaro had some real ability and encouraged her to give it a try. “It’s one instance where being voluntold is a good thing,” she said. “I’ve never really been a competitive person, so this was different, but I liked it.” Canizaro said her nerves actually weren’t that bad at OFSAA as she’d practiced her routine and worked at it throughout the year. She said her first performance at Napanee invitationals was more nerve-wracking. There, she didn’t come near the podium on floor. She said she felt the

improvement throughout the year. “I felt I improved, and not just in going through the competitions, but as a person. I was never into doing extracurriculars, but this was fun.” Canizaro also placed fifth on bars provincially. Fellow OFSAA competitor Lindsay Stakes also said she enjoyed the atmosphere in competing with the Panthers throughout the year. A provincial-level gymnast, Stakes was training and coaching three days a week in Napanee. Tibbs scheduled practices to allow her to take part the two remaining days.
“I feel like (high school competition) is a lot more fun than provincials,” she said. “I can go out with girls I know and just have fun.” Stakes did well individually, grabbing a fourth on floor and a fifth on beam, competing at Level 6 (the highest OFSAA level with competitors of all ages who compete provincially at much higher levels). Stakes said she had a great experience this year helping people her own age with routines and techniques and indicated it may have inspired her to coach more in the future.

Panthers pick up 10-1 win over
MAY 14, 2015 23 The Picton Gazette Titans County Snipers Atoms go 2-3 in Kingston tournament
Strachan comes through with clutch two-run triple during second inning ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER
While the final score read 10-1, PECI Baseball Panthers coach Matt Ronan didn’t think his team had its best effort against the St. Theresa Titans Tuesday. The Panthers left nine runners on base through seven innings in chilly, windy conditions and that concerned Ronan. “To be honest, their kid was a Grade 9 pitcher, Lucas Gilbert,” he said. “He did a really good job against us. We weren’t hitting th ball, but when we did get on base, we took advantage.” The Panthers did manage to get to Gilbert in the second inning with a three-run rally, capped by a two-run triple by Jordan Strachan. Ronan said he does like what he is seeing from the veteran outfielder. “That’s Jordan’s second or third big hit of the year,” he said. “He struck it well and he’s moving well on the base paths. That was a great at-bat for him.” Beyond that, Ronan said he was glad to see another player step into the limelight and get things done, particularly when the team didn’t have Kevin Wilson or Phil Seguin in its lineup. “I’m glad tonight there was another guy. That’s the

depth of this team. It’s nice to see guys respond.” Ronan said his team took advantage in the cold weather as they tired Gilbert and relief pitcher Ben Broek out, going deep in counts with them and making them throw a lot of pitches. The Panthers produced a run in the third and two in the fourth before exploding for four in their final at-bat in the bottom of the sixth inning. Matt Dobson and Dan Seguin got on base on Titans mistakes early. Gavin Ronan would drive in Dobson, while Kyle Gould cashed in two runs with a hard-hit ball to left field.
Gould and Dobson each crossed the plate twice during the game. Bob Wilson started the game for the Panthers and allowed one run on five hits through four innings. Andrew Dayton and Gavin Ronan provided scoreless mop up work in the remaining three innings — Ronan striking out three batters in just an inning and a third. The unbeaten Panthers are back at home in Wellington today for a 4 p.m. start against the Moira Trojans. They’re slated to finish the regular season against Centre Hastings next Tuesday in Melrose.
Gymnasts build team culture for future years GYMNASTS, from page 22
Megan Foster also found her way to the provincial finals after taking second overall at COSSA — the highlight of her season. She also said she wasn’t as nervous at OFSAA because of her experiences in previous events. She battled through an early mistake to finish eight in beam. Foster said she enjoyed the mechanics of putting together her routines this year. “I learned how much practice goes into a one-minute routine,” she said. “You go over each thing many times to perfect each skill.” Foster said she intends to push hard for an all-around title next year and hopes to put some more little elements in her routines to catch the judges’ attention. Summer Townsend also competed after placing fourth on floor at COSSA. She said she learned a lot along the way this year about her form and also to think on her feet to get her elements in. She said she didn’t worry about being a first-year competitor at the high school level. “It wasn’t nerve-wracking at all. Other people are at the same level as you and you know you aren’t the only one making the same little mistakes.” Despite the strong finish on floor, Townsend said she would like to focus on beam
next season. The OFSAA trip was a bit of a bittersweet trek for Riley Moss, the Panthers’ student assistant coach who suffered a knee injury a year ago and was only able to participate in one preliminary meet. Moss, a Level 6 gymnast, would have loved the chance to compete for her school, but was pleased a team was formed. “It would be nice if we had one when I was in Grade 9, but I’m happy we got one for my last year and I got to go to OFSAA at least once,’ she said. “I thought it was fun to go with the girls this year and give them pointers.” Sport aerobics is a growing discipline in high school gymnastics — an event that features a team performing synchronized tasks that involve gymnastics and dance skills. PECI also readily jumped into that this year with Foster, Monica Lindsay, Hannah Sills, and Taylor Hayes taking part. They captured third at Bay of Quinte to reach COSSA. A veteran dancer, Lindsay said the gymnastics side of the sport was tough to get used to because ot the accuracy judges demand. “They score you on very little things and even if you miss a step, they deduct you a lot. You have to know when things are coming up,” she said. Lindsay said she really liked the sport. Sills said she
and Hayes joined together and enjoyed making routines and competing. Tibbs said they deserved a lot of credit for being involved in gymnastics and putting themselves out there to compete, either in sport aerobics or individually, particularly early on without a lot of practice. “I told them I don’t think I could even do that, getting in front of a bunch of people and doing a routine that isn’t completely polished yet. Doing that is a huge accomplishment — and they all did well, they all made it to COSSA.” The Panthers trained at their school with a bench for beam and mats for their floor exercises — which aren’t like the springboard they use in competition. They managed to train in Napanee and at the Prince Edward Fitness and Aquatics Centre to get some experience on the actual apparatus. “You have to give these ladies all the points for dedication,” Tibbs said. With the first gymnastics season in many years behind the team, Tibbs said the PECI gymnasts have shown their sport can be viable at the school and she said she’s already heard from other potential gymnasts who are ready to take on the challenge of learning and competing in future years.
A local contingent of Atomaged BB hockey players participated in Kingston's annual Beast of the East AAA spring hockey tournament last weekend and posted a 2-3 record against some strong teams. Coach Adam Smith said it was the best hockey some of these players have ever played, going up against elite AAA talent.
Gerritt Kempers scored in a 6-1 loss to the McAtom Danglers, a team made up of mostly Quinte AAA players whom the Snipers were tied with in the third period. Next, against the Grenville Gladiators, Reese Kleinsteuber scored twice and Riley Grimmon and Luke Hanna scored once in a 4-3 win. The Snipers beat the
Ottawa 67’s 5-3 with two goals from Grimmon and singles from Gerritt Kempers and Kieran Young, before falling to Ottawa Valley 5-0 in their final preliminary game. The Snipers faced the Danglers in the semi-final and came up short. Hanna had both of his team’s goals.

Councillors cap splash pad operating expenses at $35,000 a year Recreation facility moves ahead with half the budget staff originally intended as some representatives question whether it can help attract families CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER
Council gave their nod to the Picton Splash Pad Committee to move forward with the project, but did so with the caveat that the municipality's operational expenses be capped. Councillor Jamie Forrester brought forward an amendment to cap the operating costs at $35,000 — half of the staff-projected $70,000 operating costs for a 90-day season. The amended motion was approved Tuesday in a recorded vote of 11– 4 with councillors Janice Maynard, Roy Pennell, Brad Nieman, and David Harrison voting against. The remainder of the motion remained unchanged from the April 30 committee-of-the-whole meeting. The location of the
splash pad adjacent to the skate park between the existing clubhouse and quonset hut is approved, and a flow-through water system selected as the preferred option. The motion directs that a fundraising goal of $250,000 must be met by the splash pad committee before construction begins, with construction anticipated to begin in 2017 or 2018. While the operating costs were capped, corporate services and finance commissioner Susan Turnbull advised that if costs ran over that amount, council would still be on the hook for them. “It's possible (to put a cap in place) but what happens if the committee is unable to raise that money?” she said. “Maybe you turn off the water in mid-August.”
“We’ve all said we should be trying to attract young families, but the cost of living here in the county is so expensive the young families can’t start here...’ BRAD NIEMAN COUNCILLOR
She said the difficulty with comparing operating costs of splash pads outside of the county with a Picton splash pad is the cost of water. She said the cost of water will almost certainly be more in 2018 than it is today. “In my past life I've seen
caps put on, but somebody has to pay the bill, and we will pay the bill if it goes over,” she said. Many councillors remained behind the splash pad project. Among them was councillor Lenny Epstein. He asked councillors to look around at other municipalities of all sizes in the region. “Splash pads are not rocket science or some unusual expensive aberration,” he said. “They're a commonly used installation for recreation for young families.” He said council always has tough decisions to make, but he urged fellow councillor to allow the project to move forward, citing the potential for operating saving through fundraising and revenue generating activi-
ties. Councillor Kevin Gale also remained in support of the project. “We don't do much to try to attract families with youth and the older people who live here who are on fixed incomes need to find a way to give families a reason to come here,” he said. Councillor Nieman brought forward a deferral motion which would have put off discussion of the splash pad project until a review of water rates was finished. He said this would allow council time to find any efficiencies in the service or dollars that could be applied to the splash pad. However, the motion was defeated in a recorded vote of 9–6. While others suggested the splash pad could help
attract young families, Nieman said the cost of living in Prince Edward County is too high for most young families — with or without a splash pad. “We've all said we should be trying to attract young families, but the cost of living here in the county is so expensive the young families can't start here and they can't move here,” he said. Councillor Harrison also didn't support the project. “I see too many other areas and we have too many things that need doing rather than wanting to do,” he said. Harrison said the county has more waterfront than most municipalities and most communities aren't far from the water. “I personally think it's a waste of money,” he said.

Join Ontario’s farm and food communities for the celebration Celebrating Local Food Week June 1-7, 2015
In honour of Ontario’s second annual Local Food Week, Farm & Food Care Ontario invites you to join Ontario farmers and food partners in the celebration. Proclaimed under the Local Food Act, the first week of June marks the annual celebration of Local Food Week in Ontario. This year, the week-long celebration is set for June 1-7, with farmers, farm organizations, agribusinesses and government partners hosting events across the province. Local Food Week gives Ontarians a chance to put a spotlight on the wide variety of local foods and beverages available year-round. Throughout the week, we’ll celebrate those who grow, produce, harvest, buy and sell it. We are fortunate to have access to a wide variety of local fruits, vegetables, grains, meats, eggs, dairy products, processed foods, honey and maple syrup that are readily available and grown or produced close to home. Whether at roadside farm stands and farm markets during the summer or at food retailers throughout the year, buying local has never been easier or more delicious. Local Food Week is an excellent way to bring together the farmers who produce our food, the retailers who sell it, the restaurants who prepare it and those who enjoy it every day. Here are a variety of ways you can join the Local Food Week celebrations: • Host your own local food feast or barbecue with friends and family, with an entirely locally-sourced menu; • On June 3 at 8pm ET, join the #loveONTfood Twitter party with farmers and foodies and celebrate all of Ontario’s great foods and beverages; • Share your love of local food on social media using the #loveONTfood hashtag; • Support your local farmers by choosing Ontario products all year long; • Tour a farm virtually or find out more about how your food is produced by visiting www.farmfoodcare.org; • Visit www.loveontfood.ca for great resources and ideas on how to join in on the Local Food celebrations. Farm & Food Care Ontario is a coalition of farmers, agriculture and food partners working together to ensure public trust and confidence in food and farming. Farm & Food Care provides a coordinated approach and credible information on food and farming in Ontario. To learn more about Farm & Food Care Ontario or to support the organization’s efforts visit www.farmfoodcare.org.

We want to express special thanks to Dr Koval, Dr Haigh, Dr Whattam of Picton and Dr Campbell of Belleville and of the wonderful supportive staff for the kindness and care they gave to Jack. Also, our heartfelt thanks to Dr Labinaz, Nurse Lynn and the extended staff for the excellent care they provided to Jack when he was a patient at the Ottawa Heart Institute. We appreciate those who gave so much of their time to be with Jack in Ottawa especially Michael and Charlotte Frizzell, Jack’s son John and all of the family members who were able to go to Ottawa when Jack was in the hospital there. Jack was so happy to have visitors and appreciated all of the visits. We want to express our sincere gratitude to all of our family, friends, and neighbours from the County and those who lived so far away for their overwhelming support, phone calls, emails, food, donations, cards, flowers and gifts and their words of encouragement and comfort. We want to thank Reverend Audrey Whitney, a friend of Jack’s for many years, for officiating the service. Words can’t express how happy we were to have Cousin Jenny B grace us with such an endearing eulogy for Jack. As well, we thank Whattam Funeral Home for their caring help and support, the beautiful family arrangements prepared by Flowers ‘N Such and the members of the Masonic Lodge for preparing the Masonic Hall for the luncheon prepared by the BeckNCall after Jack’s service. Our family will always remember the kindness we received from everyone during this difficult time of loss. We will miss you Jack. The Carter Family

DEATHS
Cornelia "Connie" Gertrud Jenny Scherer (nee Nolting)
age 67, passed away peacefully after a brief illness in the early hours on May 7th, at home while surrounded by family. Connie led a simple and humble life; she believed in an open heart and an open door. There was always a bed and a meal for those who needed it. Her education at the University of Karlsruhe, Germany, majoring in geography and biology, led to a great knowledge of healing plants that guided her well in the
care of others. She was a natural caregiver who not only fed your body but also your soul, and this skill shone through in her work as a ParaMed PSW. She provided encourage-ment and loved helping many people find their calling and face their fears. These simple acts of kindness reached well beyond her own family and made her a mother to many more. Her loss will be felt in many corners of the world. She is survived by her husband of 47 years Wolfgang, her stepmother Liselotte, her "brother" Otto, her six children - Stefan, Sabine, Susanne, Sebastian, Sybille, Svenya, and their spouses - as well as her eleven grandchildren who will carry her lessons with them. As per her final wishes there will be no memorial service; instead she wishes for all to open their hearts to the good in the world and have a drink in her honour. The family would especially like to thank ParaMed, the Prince Edward Family Health Team, and Hospice Prince Edward for their tender care during her final days.

County to seek extensive public consultation on council size Lyme Aid to Vote to move forward with review passes with a 9-7 margin CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER
Council has decided on a process by which they will tackle the size of council and ward boundaries issue. Following a lengthy discussion at a May 6 special
committee-of-the-whole meeting, council formalized a motion at Tuesday evening's council meeting that will see substantial public consultation throughout the next five months to identify any suitable changes to the county's representation structure. The motion was approved in a recorded vote of 9–7 with councillors Jamie Forrester, Steven Graham, David Har-

rison, Janice Maynard, Brad Nieman, Dianne O'Brien, and Roy Pennell voting against. The motion approved Tuesday calls for a review of council size and the electoral ward boundary system in the county. Already proposed plans — including Mayor Robert Quaiff's North and South electoral districts plan, Gary Mooney's N.E.W. Plan, John Thompson's Plan 13, a plan put forth by councillor Barry Turpin, as well as the status quo — will each be considered during the review. The review will not be limited to these proposals. Council will also advertise in local newspapers, the County website, and on County FM seeking further electoral ward boundary proposals, asking that any proposals come forward no later than June 4 at 4 p.m. The motion sets a special committee-of-the-whole meeting for Thursday, June 25 at 6 p.m. to review any of the additional proposals brought forward by councillors or the public and to initiate a review of all the proposals. A subsequent special committee-of-the-whole meeting is to be scheduled for Thursday, July 16 at 6 p.m. for the purpose of the finalizing the review of the electoral ward boundary proposals and recommending a preferred option or options and recommending a num-

ber of councillors for each proposal for the purpose of vetting the options through public consultation. Lastly, the motion directs that at least one public meeting be held in each ward during September 2015 with dates to be determined and publicized immediately. At the special committeeof-the-whole meeting on May 6, there was much talk of the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) and the potential for them to step in. Councillor Treat Hull said there continues to be debate about whether ward boundaries should be changed at all. He cited a decision from the OMB which indicated the overriding principle in whether ward boundaries should be changed is representation by population. He said that decision made the case for change. “There's been a Supreme Court decision. That's the precedent the OMB operates under and they cite specifically 35 to 33 per cent as a reasonable range in the size of wards,” he said. “I'm firmly convinced that in the absence of proactive action here by ourselves, the OMB will impose a new ward structure on us and I'd rather be the perpetrator than the victim.” Councillor Bill Roberts also expressed concern about the potential for the OMB to dictate the process. He said that precedent-setting Supreme Court case also
indicates that the OMB can change ward boundaries, redivide wards, change the number of wards, and even change the number of councillors per ward. “This is a very compelling ruling that indicates the OMB can do whatever it wants with regard to the size of council, as long as it deems it to be appropriate,” he said. With the vote at 9–7 the issue remained divisive among council. Councillor Harrison was among those who weren't in favour of moving ahead with the review. “This whole thing stinks to me the same way amalgamation did,” he said. “… There's a point where sometimes you stand up and say 'this is where we're going to run the show.' “I don't believe in us running this in an opposite direction under the perception that somebody from Queen's Park is all of a sudden going to come down here and lock the door.” He said he didn't campaign to change the size of council and council should “show a little spine” for those who elected them. Councillor O'Brien said the public is tired of the size of council issue. “We've gone to the public many times and I think the public is just tired of being asked the question,” she said. “…This council does not, nor did we ever, have a mandate to reduce the size of council.”

help those living with Lyme disease JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER
Given that Prince Edward County is on a migratory bird route and also haven to a large population of white tail deer, it's not surprising that ticks have a high prevalence here. Ticks mean Lyme disease and, as such, CountyLymen, a disease awareness and support group is hosting its first annual Lyme Aid Sunday May 24 1-4 p.m. upstairs at Books & Company. One of the event's organizers Jennifer Surridge said the event is designed to raise funds to support local people living with the disease as well as awareness. Lyme disease is an infectious disease caused by bacteria of the Borrelia type. The most common sign of infection is an expanding area of redness that begins at the site of a tick bite about a week after it has occurred. The rash is typically neither itchy nor painful and About 25 per cent of people do not develop a rash. Other early symptoms may include fever, headache, and feeling tired and, if left untreated, can cause a host of chronic issues. “You can get shots and medication for your animals but you can't get it for humans and once you've developed it, you have to convince the medical system to treat it and that isn't always easy,” Surridge said. Definitive blood tests are only available by labs in the United States and even with a positive test, some physicians are skeptical. The event will include speakers, a silent auction, demonstrations and information. Also, there will be a bite a lime for lyme fundraiser for Lyme Savers, a national group based in Whitby who offer a bursary program with those stricken with the disease to help fund recovery. For more information contact Arlene at 613-393-5335.

Owner says he intends to preserve heritage structure, improve parking safety to mimic the local architecture, which features several curved verandas. Brown said he's done his best to work with the municipality to address concerns, including electing to use his own money to relocate an existing residential building on the property to the back of the lot to preserve the heritage
LCBO, from page 21
“We wouldn't have the crowd we have here this evening if we had something more in line with that.” He said unfortunately that meant delaying construction of the new LCBO building one way or another; either allow for more consultation or be taken to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB). “My prediction, quite simply, to members of council, is either we go for a short deferral or you go for a much longer period of deferral that's known as the OMB,” he said. “We've got an opportunity, in my opinion, to look at doing the process properly and trying to work with the citizens and the LCBO.” Councillor Kevin Gale said he came to the meeting prepared to support the developer's application, but he too noted deficiencies in the municipality's process. “At this time, based on comments I've heard, particularly on the process, I will support a motion for a short deferral,” he said at Tuesday's meeting. Resident Roger Bryant was among those who spoke out against the variance. He said the proposal showed no respect for the streetscape and would affect visibility for motorists. “There's just no sightline left,” he said. Resident Carol Thomas said her property will be surrounded by parking on two

sides with the proposal. “Why do they need all that parking?” she said. “Let's face it, people aren't parking from eight to five, at the liquor store it's every 10 minutes.” She said she has lived in the house for 17 years, yet hasn't been adequately consulted on the plan. “Nobody from this Shire Hall called and asked my opinion,” she said. “…I can't believe the arrogance.” The new LCBO building would have two entrances — one on Lake Street and one on Main Street. The Main Street entrance would not be an exit. The Main Street entrance would provide access for delivery trucks, as the Lake Street entrance would not have sufficient turning radius for a tractor-trailer. Property owner Robert Brown of Lake Street Developments Inc. and an agent for the applicant, Hilary Murphy
of Taskforce Engineering attempted to address the concerns of residents at the meeting. Much of their presentation was met with boos and groans from the gallery. A rendering of the proposed building was displayed and met with a furious groan from the crowd and calls of “absolutely disgusting.” Brown said he believes moving the building forward is in the public's best interest. “We feel by bringing the building up to the corner of the site — which we were suggested to do and is consistent with a lot of the mandate that most municipalities are working on these days — gave us an opportunity to create a unique building beyond the LCBO's standard prototype,” he said. Brown indicated the unique rounded corner could be used by the LCBO to promote county wines and tries

structure. He said the interior of the building is in rough shape and will cost over $200,000 to move and renovate. Murphy said moving parking to the rear of the building would also address safety concerns as parking at the current building forces drivers to back onto Lake
Street. “It's a very dangerous place to access, particularly in the summer months,” she said. Murphy said some residents expressed concern about losing established trees on the property, but the site plan calls for tree replacement at a ratio of 4:1.

Veterans to ride through county to bring awareness to issues they are facing Cross-Canada cycle tour kicked off in Victoria last month CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER
Prince Edward County will be visited by the Communities for Veterans Foundation Ride Across Canada this
summer. Communities for Veterans is operating a horseback ride across Canada led by former Calgary Highlander Paul Nichols and featuring other members and former members of the Canadian Forces. The objective of the ride is to bring awareness to Canada's veterans and members of their family that
are living and transitioning into communities across the country. The ride is expected to last about 200 days and will take the riders from Victoria B.C. to the coast of Newfoundland by November of this year. The ride kicked off in Victoria on April 13 and is expected to come through Prince Edward County on
ed along the way with funds supporting the cost of supplies for the riders and to various veterans charities, said Agnew-O'Brien. Donations are also being accepted online at www.communitiesforveterans.com. “There's no budget for this, it's all fundraising,” said Agnew-O'Brien. Nichols and his wife will be taking the lead in the ride. A former Calgary Highlander, Nichols also served with the 2nd Battalion Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry during the United Nations mission in the former Yugoslavia in 1993. Nichols departed the military after the birth of his first daughter but found it tough to adapt to civilian life. Eventually Nichols and
Aug. 18. The organization is asking veterans along the way to join the ride, riding from two to six hours depending on how many veterans want to be included on a given day. The ride is expected to include over 700 Canadian veterans in total. Local organizer Sharon Agnew-O'Brien gave councillors the details at a recent committee-of-the-whole meeting. Agnew-O'Brien said the riders will enter the Millennium Trail at Consecon, following it into Picton. The riders will bypass Picton Main Street before continuing toward the Glenora Ferry. “There will be a minimum of four horses going through,” she said. Donations will be collect-
his family established a farm and riding centre certified through the British Columbia Therapeutic Riding Association and the Canadian Therapeutic Riding Association. Nichols ultimately returned to the military, taking his riding experiences with him. He created a basic horsemanship course which dozens of military members have since taken, and integrated some exercises to treat Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. It was a stepping stone toward the Ride Across Canada. Nichols is hoping that as veterans join the ride they'll share some stories of their own, create awareness, and encourage discussion about the challenges veterans face.

mendations on plants that will thrive under certain conditions. • One-stop shopping: Certain landscaping services provide many different options for prospective customers. Basic lawn cuts may be one package, but there also may be services for seasonal seeding, weeding, leaf clean-up, and winterizing. • Consistent maintenance: Homeowners who frequently travel or spend much of their summers away from home often find that lawn care companies are a wise investment. Established weekly schedules ensure the landscape always will look its best whether homeowners are home or out of town. Spring is a great time for homeowners to decide if hiring professional landscaping services is in their best interests. The time and money saved, as well as impact professional landscapers can have on a property, makes landscaping services a great investment for many homeowners. - MCC
Time saved and a professional job are just two of the reasons homeowners hire lawn care companies.
The many benefits of hiring a professional landscaper The flowers are blooming, and the grass has begun to grow anew, making spring a great time for homeowners to once again turn their attention to landscaping. Those who aren’t looking forward to dusting off their lawnmowers and rethreading their string trimmers may want to hire professional landscapers to tend to their lawns and gardens. A recent joint study by the National Gardening Association, Residential Lawn and Landscape Services and the Value of Landscaping found that homeowners spend roughly $45 billion per year on professional lawn and landscape services, as nearly 30 percent of all households across the
United States use at least one type of lawn or landscape service. The rising use of lawn care services is indicative of homeowners’ appreciation of the convenience and craftsmanship professional services can provide. While the impact professional landscapers can have on a property’s aesthetic appeal is considerable, homeowners also benefit from working with professional landscapers in various other ways. • Time savings: One of the biggest benefits of leaving lawn care to the professionals is the amount of time it will save for the average homeowner. Lawns generally need to be mowed once per week

lawn care services typically charge a set fee per month, and that fee covers the maintenance of both your property and the equipment needed to keep that property looking great. • Know-how: Many professional landscapers know how to address lawn care issues that may arise throughout the year.

during the spring and summer seasons and, depending on the size of the property, that can take an hour or more. Add the time it takes to clean up clippings, mulch landscaping beds and edge the property, and homeowners can expect to devote a significant chunk of their weekends to caring for their lawns. Lawn services employ a few workers who make fast work of the job, leaving homeowners time to enjoy their weekends however they see fit. • Reduced risk for injury: Maintaining a landscape is hard work, and those unaccustomed to this type of activity may find themselves winded or at risk of injury. Improper use of lawn
equipment also is a safety hazard. Leaving the work to professionals can help homeowners avoid strained backs, lacerations, pulled muscles, sunburns, and any other dangers that can result when tackling landscaping projects. • Financial savings: On the surface, hiring a landscaping service may seem like a costly venture. However, after crunching some numbers, many homeowners realize that doing the work themselves may cost more in the long run than hiring a professional landscaping service. Homeowners who decide to go it alone must purchase expensive equipment, and those lawn tools will require routine maintenance, which costs additional money. Inexperienced homeowners may incur extra fees to “fix” mistakes that occur during the learning process. Each year, new seed, fertilizer, mulch, pesticides, and other supplies also must be purchased.

What to know before buying a condo If you With condo popularity on the rise, prospective buyers have a few things to consider before taking the plunge into ownership. “Condo living offers a unique lifestyle with many perks,” says Pat Verge, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA). “Before buying one however, it’s important to speak to a Realtor about the responsibili-
Kevin Gale Sales Rep
ties, rules and fees that come with condo ownership.” According to the Ontario Ministry of Government and Consumer Services, condo living might be right for you if you can answer ‘yes’ to most of the following questions: • Do I like the communal aspect of condominium living? • Can I afford monthly condo fees? • Am I prepared to contribute to how the condominium is run and governed? • Do I understand responsi-
bilities of owning a condo? • Am I looking for amenities? “Condo fees are definitely an important consideration, but there’s a bigger picture to look at,” says Verge. “In short, you need to know what you’re paying for, what you can expect from condo living and how important the condo amenities are to you.” Some other items to discuss with your Realtor include: • The number of parking spaces and locker units that come with the unit;
• The number of rental versus owned or commercial units in the building; • The rules and regulations of the condo, including pet policies; • Insurance policies. More information is available at www.wedothehomework.ca.. This article is provided by local REALTORS® and the Ontario Real Estate Association for the benefit of consumers in the real estate market.
