Carter Black, above, was one of the top anglers at the Kids, Cops and Canadian Tire Fishing Derby at the Bloomfield Mill Pond on Saturday, reeling in a pair of Northern Pike including this one. But regardless if the fish were biting the hook, children like Dawson and Raiann Beaudrie were happy to be wetting a line and taking part in the annual community event.. The event was supported by Bob Izumi’s Fishing Forever, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to funding fishing, conservation, and education projects.

The Environmental Review Tribunal on Ostrander Point moved into its second phase Friday with arguments shifting from the natural environment to human health impacts. Acting on behalf of the Alliance to Protect Prince Edward County (APPEC), lawyer Eric Gillespie noted he intends to call 11 witnesses who have lived within two kilometres of existing wind projects in Ontario to discuss the effects of industrial wind turbines on their health. The first of those witnesses, Monica Elmes, was actually approached about siting a turbine on her property near Ridgetown (south of Chatham along Lake Erie), when she started to hear of adverse impacts other people were having near pre-existing turbine projects. Elmes said she communicated her concerns about the impact of the turbines on her neighbours with other landowners who were attempting to negotiate land deals with the Talbot Wind Project as a group. She found herself quickly excluded from that group and she went about her own business until the approvals came and the turbines were built.
By looking at a map, Elmes told the tribunal she thought the turbines were too far away for her to hear noise, but she quickly found out that was not the case at all. First, Elmes noticed the obvious visual intrusion of seeing 17 of the tall, white structures directly from her home. The second thing she noticed was sound. “I was really shocked because the noise was very obvious,” she said. “I thought I would not hear it and that was definitely not the case.” She told the tribunal she heard the noise coming from the spinning blades both inside and outside her home, with the sound inside being much worse in the summer — particularly with windows open, a necessity given the family does not have the benefit of air conditioning. For Elmes, the noise impact was worse at night and it affected her sleeping, even outdoors in a tent or on the screened porch. “It’s an intrusion,” she said. “There are things that we used to love and enjoy and we don’t do them any more. Our quality of life is definitely impeded by what has happened.”

of Picton on Saturday, May 25. The parade will start at approximately 11 a.m. and will take the team from the Prince Edward Community Centre and down Main Street. Following the parade the public is being invited back to the community centre for a meet and greet with players and team staff and for pictures with the Schmalz Cup. Pirates coach and general manager Ryan Woodward said the club is inviting all of
the sponsors and others who have supported the team throughout the playoffs to join in the parade. He said its important to the team that those sponsors and individuals participate as the club wouldn't have been able to reach the accomplishment without their support. “The idea is to have a barbecue and an opportunity for fans and sponsors to see the trophy, take pictures with the trophy and with

the team,” Woodward said. “It will be a little bit of a celebration in the parking lot in front of the rink.” He said its important to give the community an opportunity to see the trophy and make a connection with the players they cheered on throughout the year. “It could be a fun day for all,” he said. “This is for everybody in the community and it's an opportunity for people to see the players out of their equipment on that day and have some fun with kids. We're hoping there's a good turnout. We'd like to invite everybody out to celebrate with us.” Woodward said the club is still working on adding participants to the parade, but hopes the community will respond with the same support shown throughout the Pirates' playoff run. There is no set date for the team's banquet dinner, but Woodward said it would likely take place in late July or early August at the Prince Edward Community Centre. He said the dinner would be open to the public on an RSVP basis and will feature the presentation of championship rings to the team. “It's just another celebratory night,” Woodward said. The Pirates will have a lot less time to prepare for next season than in the past. The club's annual spring camp is expected to open in late June.

Cheese festival grows again in third year with more vendors, new events Off-site dining experiences proving popular AdAm BrAmBurger Staff writer
Canada’s largest cheese festival is bound to grow again in its third year — so much so that it can no longer be contained on one site. Instead of one large cheese gala this year, founder Georgs Kolesnikovs said the festival has moved to four off-site wine and dine events June 1. A first event, Gastronomy On The Farm with Jamie Kennedy, has already sold out and a second event at Huff Estates with chef Michael Hoy and cheesemaker Ruth Klassen is also almost full already. Tickets are now on sale an event that features Quebec cheeses and well-known chef Francois Gagnon, paired in a picturesque setting at the Grange of Prince Edward. Another feature that night will be Cheese and Beers = Cheers, an event at the Acoustic Grill that will feature a beer sommelier from Creemore Springs and some artisan cheese pairings. “It’s like an educational happy hour,” said Kolesnikovs, who said response to the four events replacing the annual cheese gala Saturday night has been quite enthusiastic.

The festival will also be used as a kick-off point for the Bay of Quinte region’s new Cheddar and Ale trail, which will feature maps to the region’s six artisan cheese factories as well as three breweries and two cider producers “We have been spending a lot of time over the past two years looking at our region to see what we do well,” said Ann Munro, the executive director of the Bay of Quinte Tourism Council. “Certainly, food and drink tourism is one of the things this region has a claim to fame on. This trail is all about the cheddar. It’s what this region is known for.”
There will be free pairing seminars featuring Bay of Quinte products, led by Ian Coutts and Jeremy Taft. Also, visitors can buy tickets to attend a Quinte cheese tour as part of the festival or a county cheese tour to Black River, the new County Cheese Company, and possibly a reopened Fifth Town Artisan Cheese. Cheddar will also be a feature flavour at the Crystal Palace and Prince Edward Curling Club for the two-day event July 1 and 2 as two regional producers will feature Canadian Cheese Grand Priz winners this year. Black River Cheese won
top honours for its five-yearold cheddar, while Maple Dale Cheese near Belleville won for a milder entry aged six months. “You can tell we’re in the right place for this festival,” said Kolesnikovs. “Within minutes of the Crystal Palace, we have two grand prize winners. That’s just amazing.” Those cheese will be featured along with top artisan cheeses from Newfoundland to Vancouver Island. “We pride ourselves on having the largest collection of artisan cheese available from coast to coast,” said Kolesnikovs. “Yes, this year, the show will be even bigger and better. Kolesnikovs said show organizers are expecting to have up to three dozen cheesemakers right on site and between 110 and 115 exhibitors overall, up from 98 last year. The cheeses will include not only those made with cow milk, but also with goat, sheep, and water buffalo to name just a few. Beyond cheese itself, the festival is also planning to show off more artisan foods as it will see a 50-per-cent increase in its artisan market with some companies traveling from the west coast just to bring products into the Ontario market. Ticket sales for the event are already going strong as Kolesnikovs said they are moving 50 per cent better than at this time last year.
Ultimately more than 3,000 people attended that show and research suggested more than 96 per cent of that audience would return for a show in Prince Edward County. Tickets for the festival are $45 at the gate, or $40 per day
in advance at www.cheesefestival.ca. A two-day $55 pass is also available. Cheese tours and wine-andd-dine experiences are extra. Children 18 and under can attend the artisan cheese and fine food fair Sunday for free.

Engineering, development and works commissioner Robert McAuley said a couple of the tenders were disqualified because they did not supply the required three references as part of their submission. “We revisited the tenders because of the disqualification was based on references,� he said. He said, once revisited, the bids were ruled out because they did not meet the required truck specifications. “They were all higher bids regardless,� McAuley told councillors on Tuesday.
A report submitted to council on Tuesday says with taxes included the purchase of the multi-purpose plow and dump truck comes in over the budgeted $185,000 by just under $3,000. The additional funds are expected to be drawn from the municipality's vehicle replacement reserve. The second tender was under the approved budget of $235,000 by about $31,191 after tax. The two trucks represent just under 50 per cent of the $848,000 budgeted by council for vehicles in 2013.
ing weekend celebrations, Macaulay Heritage Park will be hosting its annual plant sale, while there will be much to see at many of the other museum sites. The Ameliasburgh Historical Museum features a full pioneer village with an operational blacksmith shop

municipality's current units — a 2003 Ford F550 plow and sander and a 1988 Ford F800 water truck. Seven bids were received for the tender with Tallman Truck Centre submitting the lowest overall bid. The new sander, plow, and dump truck will replace the municipality's current 1988 Ford Louisville. The County also received seven bids for this tender but all, with the exception of Harper Truck Centres, were disqualified as they either did not meet the truck specifications or tender requirements.

Hospice hopes for perk from coffee parties June 13 Individual parties helped bring in $22,500 last year for new home
“MOVING” Closed May 31st Re-Opening June 1st at County Farm Centre (old license bureau) 613-922-6220
AdAm BrAmBurger Staff writer
Hospice Prince Edward’s cup runneth over last spring when it tried the County’s Largest Coffee Party promotion. Following a simple suggestion by the organization and some hard work by a dedicated committee, some 48 parties held at county homes, churches, and restaurants brought in a total of $22,500 to help make dreams of a local residential hospice reality. This year, organizers are hoping they’ll find the right brew a second year in a row. Committee co-chair Ann Giraudy said the value of the event is its simplicity. “It’s just a nice, friendly event. It’s quite simple,” Giraudy noted, adding it is hoped people will just get together with their friends and share a visit. She said that fits with the adopted theme this year “From your home to ours.” “It describes our event and our aims,” she said. “Most people take part in people’s individual homes and it raises homes for our residential hospice.” Giraudy said that while Hospice Prince Edward has found the money to purchase the building at 40 Downes Avenue and while it now has pilot funding, there are a lot of expenses that must be covered by fundraising. “We need to keep it running in terms of things like maintenance and the hydro bills,” she said. At the various events, which are intended to be scheduled on or around June 13, people can also take an opportunity to talk about Hospice’s services and about their own experiences dealing with end-of-life care. With notice, Hospice can even send out speakers to talk about such events. Giraudy’s co-chair Kathleen Hegedus-Beeksma said the committee has aimed to make it really easy for people to host coffee parties. A kit available from the Hospice Prince Edward office includes prepackaged invitations and donation cards, information about hospice and its services, and even a halfpound of coffee donated by County Roasters. Tax receipts will also be issued to anyone wishing to donate more than $20. Forms and kits are available by calling 613-476-2181 ext. 4253, asking a Hospice committee or staff member, or visiting Hospice online at www.hospiceprinceedward.ca. She indicated there are also some larger events being planned at churches including St. Mary Magdalene Anglican, the Salvation Army, and Bloomfield United as well as businesses like Miss Lily’s Cafe on June 13. On June 19, Picton United Church will host a luncheon for $20 a person with all proceeds going to the campaign, while the Blue Moose Cafe at the Waupoos Marina has pledged to give proceeds from breakfast and lunch

June 15 to Hospice. Giraudy said this year, the club’s goal is to increase awareness for the event and club and to pass the 500.” County Roasters partner Brad Lynd said his company is honoured to provide the coffee for the initiative. “It is the only event we're involved in,” Lynd said. .”It really fits with us, these coffee parties are in individual homes. We are trying to let people know we roast coffee in the county and would be great if in every home.” A half-pound of medium roast Dunes coffee was included in each of those hits for hosts or hostesses and Hospice Prince Edward staffer Wayne Carruthers indicated that’s a pretty generous gift in itself. “That takes away one of the major expenses for hosting a party right away,” he said. Lynd added he could not believe the amount of money the parties generated in 2012, though he added he has come up with a real appreciation about the way Hospice fills service gaps for families and individuals in need. “It was a no-brainer for us to be involved again.” Giraudy said this year,
the committee is hoping that moire than 55 parties will be registered and at this time, more than 43 have come forward to share their intentions to host. “A lot of hosts have come back and we have had some new ones,” said Giraudy.
“We have good response, and we'd like to get more people involved in order to grow it.” She noted the event is one of Hospice’s three major fundraisers this year with spring’s Hike For Hospice and the fall gala.

PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY
Looking back in the
Picton Gazette 80 years ago — 1933
■ A Cherry Valley farmhouse was drawing a lot of attention after builder Fred Balutanski decided to use thatched reeds for his roofing. The reeds were tied in small bunches, laid over the rafters and wired in place. The native of Poland said he has seen similar roofing last between 20 and 35 years without any issues, providing a great savings over shingles. ■ The C.S. Lines feighter Calgarian was pulled off a rocky shoal near Salmon Point after running aground in the middle of the night. The Pike Salvago Co. was able to free the ship by moving just a bit of cargo off of it. While it was leaking, the ship made it to Kingston to drydock. Hundreds of cars were spotted at Salmon Point the day the rescue efforts were unfolding. ■ Captain F. C. Palmer addressed the Picton Kiwanis Club about safeguards on health within the community. While he praised the town and local merchants for the quality of water and food supply, Palmer said Picton was lagging behind in installing a system to dispose its sewage.

■ Picton Rotarians pledged to give individual gifts of $100 in to raise more than $5,000 for the development of a new Picton hospital. Rotarians heard from planning chair Don Baxter about how the hospital planning committee had visited new hospitals in Campbellford, Brockville, Kingston, and Winchester and adopted several design features from those sites and others in the province. ■ Ontario cheese would be sold at auction on the open market after a two-week hiatus, where purchasers and producers haggled over price. The cheese on sale for auction was to be offered with no price floor support. Normally, the province guaranteed a 30-cent floor. ■ St. Barbara’s School on the Picton Heights was the recipient of $2,000 in upgrades that included heavy valour drapes for its windows and its stage.

■ The Ontario Public School Teachers’ Federation was protesting a decision of the Prince Edward County Board of Education to limit teachers’ professional activity days to five in the upcoming school year. The teachers had been pushing for 10 days, closer to the maximum of 12 allowed by the province. ■ The Prince Edward Collegiate rocketry club held a successful launching day as instructor Norm Giffin led his students in a day of launching their half-pound missiles into the atmosphere. Throughout the day, there were contests running for the longest and most accurate shoots.
20 years ago — 1993
■ A town hall meeting in Bloomfield hosted by MP Lyle Vanclief to discuss the federal budget attracted just 15 people. Much of that apathy was attributed to the federal deficit being listed at $35.5 billion that year and a national debt believed to hit $500 million in short order. Vanclief said the challenge for government is to introduce measures to cut spending that are supported by the public. ■ Wellington taxpayers faced a $3.6-percent tax hike, which Reeve Allan Pettingill said would be higher if not for steady growth in assessment.

Slide Lake loop not for the faint of heart
The view from the top of this 150-foot high granite mountain was spectacular. Below us, Slide Lake shimmered in the light breeze, sunlight casting blackened shadows of trees and surrounding boulders eerily upon its surface. Through the binoculars, we could make out the miniature forms of two painted turtles as they basked in the rays of the sun. It was wild country at its best and we saw no one the entire day. I last stood in this same spot at Frontenac Provincial Park in 2003, when I was 58 years old. I found the hike challenging, even then. Strange, how the climb over this rocky terrain, considered to be the most rugged in the entire 14,000-acre park, got so much more difficult in just 10 years’ time! Park literature describes the nine kilometer hike as “extremely difficult”. We had no reason to dispute this after crab-walking and bum-rocking our way to the finish line, a hike that took us seven hours. In Frontenac Park terms, nine kilometres is a stroll. Most of the trails are 12 or 15 km in length, nice pleasant walks that can be completed in five or six hours. The trail we were on is only a small inner loop of the much longer 21kilometre Slide Lake Loop, on the Park’s eastern side, off Old Perth Road. Completing the hike is only one of the day’s challenges. Reaching the trail is another. Like so many other trails in the Park, access is from another nearby trail which means one has to walk several kilometres
OUTDOOR RAMBLES TERRY SPRAGUE
before they even begin the hike! The Slide Lake Loop is accessible from a couple of other trails both about eight kilometres from the start of the trail. Ten years ago, we opted for the water access, and canoed for an hour and half on Buck Lake from a tiny boat launch along Old Perth Road to reach the trail. On this hike two weeks ago, we parked our car along Old Perth Road and followed a two kilometer section of the Rideau Trail and commenced our hike in a lowland – once farmland between 1853 and 1940, we learned from literature. It all started coming back to me, even the red trilliums, right where I remembered seeing them 10 years earlier. It was a great way to warm up before the trail got really down and serious. It was near perfect weather – scattered clouds to keep temperatures tolerable, and a slight breeze to
keep the black flies at bay. The lack of appreciable wind allowed us to savour the wavering trill of toads, and the unmistakable songs from migrant pine, Nashville, and black and white warblers. The haunting flute-like notes from an invisible hermit thrush wafted in on the slight breeze from an adjacent wooded area. Despite a precipitous climb, and slopes so steep it was necessary to lower ourselves in reverse, there was wildlife. We found two lime colored smooth green snakes, one of which was cooperative enough for a closeup photo. A young water snake also crossed our path as did a garter snake. What we didn’t see, we saw evidence of. Deer, incredibly, walk these steep inclines, only scant inches from a sheer drop of a hundred feet or so. Squirrels, chipmunks – all were present in this unforgiving terrain, created more than a billion years ago on what is known as the Frontenac Arch. There were flowers, too – both trillium species, spring beauties, and one of the earliest still blooming, the dandelion-like coltsfoot. Slide Lake is neatly tucked in behind a narrow ridge of granite which separates it from the much larger Buck Lake. In earlier days, pioneers logged on this side of the Park, floating the logs across Slide Lake where they were shifted across the 25-metre rocky ridge. To get the logs into Buck Lake, Slide Lake had to be raised to float the logs closer to the ridge where wooden rollers anchored securely into the rock
were used to coax the logs over the edge; hence, the name of Slide Lake. Some didn’t make it and these inadequately tethered logs sank where they remain to this day. Once in Buck Lake, the logs were boomed and floated to a sawmill on Mississauga Creek to be sawn. In sharp contrast, the terrain where we came in from Perth Road and, subsequently concluded our hike, was once farmland, relatively flat. After all these years, it had refused nature’s attempts to naturalize it into forest. Meadow grasses still grow where ploughs once turned over the sod for crops as recently as 1940. In that time, an almost one kilometer long lake, large enough to show up on Google Earth, was a farmer’s field until abandoned in 1940 after which natural succession had taken over and produced a small forest. Beavers moved in about 20 years ago, and flooded it to become the now treeless lake that it is today. If planning to do this hike, take lots of water (we ran out with another three kilometres to go), good hiking boots, a walking stick or walking poles, and pack some Ibuprofen. You’ll likely need it!

Individuals can take steps to increase odds of safety
THE story of Tim Bosma hit home hard for many people across North America this week, likely because in the society we live in today, many people could see themselves making the same mistake the 32-year-old Hamilton man made when he was selling his truck on Kijiji. In most parts of Canada, people generally believe they’re safe in the comforts of their own homes and they believe that those who would come knocking at the door are generally the same type of wellmeaning individuals they are. Unfortunately, right now, it appears the mysterious and torture-filled last hours of Bosma’s life on earth serve as a grim reminder that one can never be too careful and too good natured to those who come calling. Unless the story takes another nefarious twist in the weeks to come that somehow proves a prior connection between the victim and his killers, it is likely that many people will be monitoring their own interactions a bit more closely and acting just a bit more guarded from this example and from other gruesome tales of recent weeks, including the story of the women held captive in Cleveland. It would be regrettable if some people turn away from society and leave some of the conveniences of life they’ve come to know in this online world and ideally, that won’t happen ust because of a few isolated incidents happening in a short amount of time. Instead, one would hope that people would continue to use the technology of the day to their advantage and realize that things happen, even here in rural Prince Edward County. This is, after all, an increasingly global world and both in cyberspace and in real time, people are coming and going much more quickly and though there is much more information available at our fingertips, there is also a greater chance that people are able to hide in the shadows and surprise others with their own realities, rather than avatars. Tools like Facebook, Kiiji, and social media should not be blamed for such tragedies solely, but rather people should become more sophisticated in their use and be more careful about the information they choose to provide to the world. Everyone should look at their privacy settings to determine what they’re willing to show off to the world and they should certainly work in some safe guards when it comes to inviting others to their homes or neighbourhoods. Setting up public meeting places, travelling to sales and get-togethers with other trusted people, and asking as many follow-up questions as possible should be a given practice. Anything less than that would be naive. That doesn’t mean that everyone will be able to escape from horrible tragedies like that which Bosma was met with on his own doorstep, but it will make those less likely to occur. Individual people must play their own role in ensuring they remain safe, just as they did when everyone knew everyone and things were much more simple.

A HELPING HAND FROM HALLOWELL The Picton Gazette THURSDAY, MAY 16, 2013
Libraries release new events calendar and new evening hours
Rural branches of the library, specifically branches in Ameliasburgh, Consecon, Bloomfield and Milford, will now be open by popular from 4 p.m, to 7 p.m. one day a week beginning May 21. In Ameliasburgh and Bloomfield, the evening hours will be on Tuesdays and in Consecon and Milford, the evening hours will be on Wednesdays. All other hours remain the same. A full listing of hours is available online on the library website at www.peclibrary.org. As well, printed bookmarks with the new hours listed are available in all branches. “It is always a challenge to find hours that suit everyone,” says library CEO Barbara Sweet, “but we have been very pleased with the response to our change earlier this year of having all branches opened for a portion of the day from Tuesday to Saturday.” During the winter, being opened in the evenings has not been successful in the past, according to Sweet, “however, as the weather warms up and daylight hours are longer, we anticipate that the evening hours will be popular.” The library’s new printed events calendar is now available at all branches of the library, with many events in the evenings as well in the coming weeks. On Tuesday, May 21 at 7 p.m., the Picton branch presents Experience the South of France! This bilingual talk by Maurice Obonsawin will feature photos and stories of Maurice’s experience during his month long visit to what is “castle, cave and wine country.” The presentation will be followed by social time with light refreshments and a chance to share travel stories, travel plans or to ask questions. It will also be an opportunity to practice your French if so inclined. On Wednesday, May 22 at 7 p.m. at the Wellington branch library, George Reid will present “First Nations Burial Grounds in our own Backyards.” Learn about the technology being used to locate these sacred places in Prince Edward County and the implications of the finds. Admission is $10. This is a fundraising initiative of

With longer daylight hours, all are reminded that the library presents free movie nights at the Ameliasburgh Town Hall on the first Tuesday of each month and at the Wellington branch library the first Wednesday of each month. Snacks are available for purchase at both showings with funds raised helping the library. On Tuesday, June 4 at 7 p.m., see the acclaimed Lincoln film in Ameliasburgh, and on Wednesday, June 5, the Wellington library will be screening Silver Lining Playbook, also at 7p.m. A family movie is now being shown the third Saturday of each month at the Ameliasburgh Town Hall at 2 p.m. as well. The selection for June 15 is the modern classic Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. On June 3, at 5:15 don’t miss the award-winning documentary Revolution being presented in partnership with the Regent Theatre for free. More on this very special event in next week’s column.

PECT matinees deliver an entertaining experience
Once again "Three Cheers" for the Prince Edward Community Theatre players. I attended the special matinee series with friends, and what an amazing presentation, A Little Something for the Ducks was so realistic and true to our times, but A
scent of Honeysuckle touched more than a few hearts, as most of us, men included, walked out of the theatre with tears in our eyes!! Keep up the great productions!
The Courage To Be Colourful art show at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church is slated to begin June 9, not June 8, which is the date for artwork to be dropped off at the church.
The show, under the direction of Jeanne Campbell, will primarily feature professional artists invited from among Prince Edward County’s arts community.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Workers not to blame if strike shutters LCBO
For many Canadians the “May 2-4 weekend” marks the beginning of an all too short Canadian summer – a time for fun, family BBQs and of course cracking open that first beer or drink on the back patio. The May long weekend is a joyous time for Canadians – that is if you don’t live in Ontario! At the time of writing this letter the men and women working in our local LCBOs are facing a bleak beginning to this summer. After over a year of negotiations with our provincial government, these public employees are still without a contract and fighting to maintain what they have – they are not asking for huge salary increases, but maintaining job security, benefits and full-time positions are important enough to them to threaten strike action – starting (now hold your breath) on the May 2-4 weekend! For the public the timing stinks, but for the employees
it is one of the last real tools they have to place pressure on an uncaring and irresponsible government. So before yelling at the person stocking the shelves or taking your order, ask yourself why hasn’t this matter been settled months ago? What is happening to these public employees is what is happening to many Canadian jobs (both public and private sector) – they are being manipulated with the threat of losing their jobs to cheaper private sector workers – it doesn’t seem to matter if these workers are Canadian or if they even pay taxes. No, our governments and our business leaders are banking on the public to stand up and do the fighting for them – because after all they are trying to save us money – right? Don’t believe it! Name one product or service we are now enjoying that is better or cheaper because a Canadian lost their job for it?
Our provincial government has wasted billions of dollars on paying out for gas plant closures, faulty healthcare systems and ridiculously high alternate energy incentives. Most of these dollars are going into private pockets, never to benefit the public. The public are being told these financial losses are all part of governing in a complicated world and for us not to worry. As we all know this is nonsense! Instead, we are being told that the men and women working in our local LCBO are being unreasonable and demanding far too much. We are to believe that our government will stand strong to protect our interests against these unionized greedy Huns who work for the LCBO! Instead of treating our employees with respect, they are using them as scapegoats to pay for their financial mismanagement! Instead of pointing the finger of blame, as a Cana-
dian, I want to see a government who will work to bring decent good paying jobs to my community. I want to see jobs being created and protected that will give my kids some sense of security for the future. I would like to know that my kids aren’t going to have to go outside the province or outside their country to find a decent paying job. So as the “May 2-4 weekend” approaches, go and stock up at the LCBO, but don’t forget to thank that public employee (your employee) for standing up and fighting back to protect good jobs in Ontario – for jobs that some young person now will want in the future! It is time that we demand that our government get back to the negotiations tables and to act with integrity and credibility towards the LCBO employees. Is that too much to ask? Dennis Fox Northport
Debate around wind energy has become too acrid
In his letter to the editor, Dennis Fox questions why pro-wind supporters would remain silent in the face of yet another resolution by council. As a supporter of safe, clean wind energy I would like to share my experience with ‘speaking out’. I wrote a letter to the editor. Shortly thereafter, on Sept. 20, 2011, I was served a Notice under the Libel and Slander Act. It was issued from the office of Eric K. Gillespie claiming that I had libeled a Dr. Robert McMurtry. This was in spite
of the fact Dr. Robert McMurtry had not been mentioned in the letter nor had Dr. Robert McMurtry been referenced in the letter. Councillors are not exempt from such legal actions. To start such an action is relatively inexpensive, to defend that action would have cost tens of thousands of dollars, money I can ill afford. My wife and I spent an anxious time until the statute of limitations expired on the notice. It is something I would wish on no one. I am thankful that the
landowners in the south of the county have the backing of the wind developer as they deal with the claims against them, claims issued from the same lawyer, Eric K Gillespie. The second reason I am no longer anywhere near as active in supporting clean wind energy relates to my personal well-being and that of others in Prince Edward County. The debate around safe, clean wind energy has become acrid in the county, and I no longer wish to con-
tribute to an already corrosive situation. I am secure in the knowledge from my research about the benefits of safe, clean wind energy. I am secure in the knowledge from my research that safe, clean wind energy forms the best electricity solution currently available if we are to avoid climate calamity. And I am secure in the belief that the developers of safe, clean wind energy are capable of defending themselves.
Now that the QHC board of directors has agreed with the cuts presented by QHC Senior Leadership, will the Prince Edward Family Health Team continue? Will Prince Edward County continue to have family doctors locate here to practice medicine? The Prince Edward Family Health Team is instru-
mental in providing much needed clinics and superior patient care for the residents/visitors of Prince Edward County like: (just to name a few, the cardiac rehab program, Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) case management, diabetes education, family and youth Outreach Programs, nutrition, orthopedic
clinics, and palliative care. The PEFHT physicians have repeatedly stated they have not been consulted and the suggestions they have put forward to reduce costs have not been addressed. Already known is five (5) out of the six (6) QHC endoscopy surgeons will be practicing at the Campbell-
ford Memorial Hospital, an independent hospital, because QHC cannot or will not provide enough time for them in the QHC operating rooms. Will our Prince Edward County family doctors be next?

Invasive ornamentals taking root in our gardens and impacting native plants
Spending time in New Zealand last winter gave me a new perspective on invasive species of all types and their affect on the native community of plants. A flowering plant from South Africa, African Blue Lily, Agapanthis africanus, barely hardy in the warmer parts of Canada was the most striking example. It grew wild everywhere and while its beauty was what was initially most arresting, its inappropriate invasiveness in even the wildest of locations was the most lasting memory. Gardeners can play an important part in protecting the ‘health’ of our natural environment in regards to invasive or problematic species. There are about 3,200 native species in Canada and about 800 naturalized alien species. A small portion of the latter
ASk A MASTER GARDENER SANDRA GORANSON
are on the various Canadian invasive species lists. There are many ornamental ‘alien’ species filling our gardens today that are not naturalizing and spreading indiscriminately.

enough additional plants to be shared. If you have these types of plants it is always better to ensure that they are shared with neighbouring gardens by choice rather than accidentally. If you are putting in bushes that spread through the development of shoots (suckers) don’t plant them on a property line without consulting your neighbour. Similar care should be taken with plants that spread through root systems or seeds or both. l Those that make the invasive or potentially invasive lists are clearly more of an issue for all of us. Information gathered from U.S.A. sources indicated that they have far more concern regarding the plants they rate as potentially invasive as the Canadian Resources that I checked. Perhaps our over-

Many have been around for such a long time that they are almost regarded as native plants and are not significantly invasive. Peonies, for example, may continue to grow beside long abandoned farm houses but they are not spreading into the surrounding area. Similarly while the United Empire Loyalist settlers brought lilacs and lilies that have spread somewhat the plants remain in the areas they were planted in. Their presence is sometimes the only indication that someone once lived there. They are not eradicating our native growth. Many of the plants shared by friends and neighbours are somewhat invasive in the garden as they reproduce by seed or through the spread of roots or both and thus produce

all colder weather or smaller population just makes these issues less concerning on our side of the border. Most of us are familiar with Purple Loosestrife, Lythrum salicaria, and its propensity to spread in ditches and wet lands, seriously impacting native flora and fauna. These plants spread vegetatively through clumping growth as well as by growing from damaged, trampled and buried stems. More seriously they spread by seed. Each plant generates large amounts (up to 2.7 million seeds per year per plant) of light, easily transported seeds which can live for several years as well as germinate in varied conditions. This species has very successfully naturalized. No single successful control method has been reported in Canada, which is as concerned as the USA in this case. In town, these plants may invade neighbouring gardens and affect personal relationships. In the country, near areas where they spread easily, they may seriously impact the environment. Creeping Bellflower, Campanula rapunculoides, is pleasing to look at and is therefore often mistaken as a desirable garden plant. It is actually quite invasive and can aggressively invade lawns, gardens and neighbouring properties. It likes full sun but can tolerate shade, meadows, old fields, road sides, old yards and a wide variety of soil conditions including poor dry soil. Each plant produces numerous small seeds. They also spread vegetatively through rhizomes with fleshy roots. Control is limited to removal of the plant including all of the roots before the seeds have set or by shearing at ground level, repeating if roots send up new stalks. While not as invasive as Loosestrife they can still take over and make poor neighbours in both the wild as well as inhabited areas. The final example is Lily of the Valley, Convallaria
majalis. It prefers partial to full shade but can tolerate full sun if the soil is moist, and can be found on roadsides and in abandoned yards, meadows, gardens. It spreads largely vegetatively through their root system although plants will develop but very slowly from seeds. It is controlled by digging up the plants including all of the rhizomes and other roots. It is the least invasive of the three plants, but it can be a problem in the home garden and can also be a poor neighbour if the garden is located in a wild area that is vulnerable. There are other flowering plants that could be listed here such as some of the Rugosa Roses. Other than Loosestrife, which is causing serious problems in areas where it spreads, none of the others are of major environmental concern currently. This is more of a reminder that we all need to pay attention to our gardens and those alleged ‘volunteer seedlings’. Are they moving beyond the original garden bed? And when they move do they spread voraciously? We are all part of the environment wherever we live. To protect our relationships with the land around us and those that dwell there, we must pay attention to what we grow and where we grow it.

Abernethy to unveil John A. Macdonald’s bust at Regent Theatre May 26 Picton to host 10th public sculpture of first prime minister AdAm BrAmBurger
Staff writer
On Sunday, May 26, Picton will come one step closer to hosting a public statue of Canada’s first prime minister. At present, there are only nine known public statues of Sr. John A. Macdonald across Canada and, according to David Warrick, the chair of the statue’s commissioning body, many of those are found in places unlike Picton — Canada’s major cities. “This will really put Picton in a good place,” he said. “People may see it online, say on Wikipedia, and they may come to have a look.” Make no mistake, however, Warrick says it is clear Picton has earned that place of honour when one looks back at the life of Macdonald. Though Macdonald was born in Scotland, he spent considerable time in his formative years in Prince Edward County as his parents lived on Hay Bay and in Glenora and he had relatives all around the Bay of Quinte region. Macdonald got his start in law at his cousin’s practice near the top of the town hill in the early 1830s. It is believed he tried his first case in Picton in 1834 at the age of 19. He won the case and became an attorney four months later before moving to Kingston. Warrick said one could argue Macdonald also got his start in politics in Picton as he was listed as the polling clerk in Picton for the 12th parliament. To recognize the region’s ties to the nation-maker, Warrick and other members of the Macdonald Bicentennial Commission of Prince Edward County have been working to build a lasting memorial of him in time for the 2015 bicentennial of his birth. In 2010, the group decided it would commission an interactive bronze statue of Macdonald in a public place, and last year, announced it had come to terms with its chosen artist, the internationally-acclaimed sculptor Ruth Abernethy to complete the work. She previously completed bronze sculptures of Glenn Gould, Oscar Peterson, Arnold Palmer, Ian Miller and Big Ben, and other notable subjects. Her sculpture, Holding Court, which will come at a

fee of $180,000 plus installation and taxes will feature the young Macdonald with his hand on the corner of a prisoner’s dock people can sit in. Warrick said the commission has also recently come to an agreement with Armoury Mall owner Mark Baker to place the sculpture in front of that historic building. “He really wants it to go. It’s good for business,” said Warrick.
It turns out the statue, which was to draw people in with a jury box they could sit in is also part of plans to become a more significant piece of Picton’s downtown. Warrick explained the goal is to create a town square which could be used to raise Christmas tree, host farmer’s markets and theatre, and maybe just be the site of some rousing civic speeches, just like Macdonald himself used

to give as he championed the idea of Canada. “The town square idea is really important to a lot of people,” said Warrick. “We’re going to put (the statue) there and then build around it.” Warrick indicated a sec-
ond phase of the square could feature a jury bench and risers that would be similar to the gallery in a court room. Those risers, of course, could be used also for live shows as par of the jazz festival or other community events.
The first stage, however, will be in raising money for the statue, which Warrick said is going well despite not having any government or corporate backing. He indicated there have been some generous donations from key supporters like Lanny and Catharine Huff and Chris and Norah Rogers, but more money is still needed. To that end, the commission is planning to host the unveiling of the bronze bust of Macdonald’s head and shoulders for the statue at Regent Theatre, May 26. Between 2-4 Abernethy will be unveiling the bust and leading a Power Point presentation showing her research and work on the project to date. Tickets for the event are available at $15 for adults or $10 for students and seniors through the theatre’s box office. According to Warrick, Abernethy is also quite willing to talk to local artists about her art and share some information about the sculpture form. Warrick said following the unveiling, the bust will be displayed at Books & Company in hopes of stirring up more interest and support. Once the larger-than-life sculpture is completed and paid for, then Warrick said the commission will look to potential partners such as the Picton BIA, council, or the library board to try to shape the town square portion of the project.

Artist Murtanovski to paint 33 scenes in as many days on local highway County’s Loyalist Parkway to be featured in new exhibit Staff writer
A county artist will be challenging his own skill this month when he sets off to complete 33 paintings in 33 days along Hwy. 33. Painter Milé Murtanovski will embark on his “33 on 33” painting marathon beginning on May 25 and
ending on June 26, culminating in an exhibition of the works at Blizzmax Gallery on June 29. The trek along Loyalist Parkway will begin in Carrying Place and follow the winding highway through Wellington, Bloomfield, and finally Picton before coming to an end at the Glenora ferry dock on the 26th.

At each stop Murtanovski will create one 20-inch by 20-inch oil painting. Primarily Murtanovski paints in studio using photographs as a reference. “By the time I get to the photo stage I know pretty much exactly what I want the final painting to look like,” he said. “Then I shoot my reference — whether it's a scene or a model — and use that to work from at any hour of the day I feel ready to paint.” He said wanted to take on the project as a test of his own skill. “That's the really exciting part — challenging myself to do something I don't normally do, going to a location, paint outside, paint from life,” he said. He said the project would force him to be more improvisational; where he would normally take the time to thoroughly sketch out the planned work, this project would be more time sensitive. Murtanovski said he usually spends three to five days on a painting. “I'll have to make a lot more decisions to make sure everything counts because I won't have that much time and I do want them to be as good as I can make them,” he said. However, for over a month Murtanovski will

step outside to depict the rural landscapes, architecture, and other prominent features along Hwy. 33. He said he chose the stretch of highway because of the variety of scenery to display. “I'll be out there at the crack of dawn, set up my canvass, figure out what I want to paint and just keep painting all day until I have no more light,” he said. Murtanovski said he has a rough outline of where each of the stops will be. He said he will be spending considerable time in each of Bloomfield, Wellington, and Picton. “I have a very loosely predetermined schedule,
just so that I can pace myself along the highway so I don't bunch up in any place,” he said. “I will be spending three days each … in the towns of Bloomfield, Wellington, and Picton, but I don't know exactly where.” Murtanovski has been painting for 25 years and works mainly in watercolours, oils, and inks. He left Toronto in 2010 when he relocated to a 160-year-old farmhouse in Prince Edward County, where he founded Small Pond Arts with his wife playwright and puppeteer Krista Dalby. Murtanovski said he has a strong affinity for the region and anything along
the route could inspire a painting. “I'll definitely be painting the ferry dock when I'm there at the end but, other than that, it could be people's homes, people's farms — it could be just treetops and sky,” he said. “That's the exciting thing, I don't know what the final series will look like. The Blizzmax Gallery exhibition of “33 on 33” will open June 29 at 7 p.m. and will run until July 21. Throughout the project Murtanovski will be updating on Facebook, Twitter (@smallpondarts) and on his blog, www.murtanovski.blogspot.ca.

Tax credit may be available to seniors, caregivers I’ve been speaking to several groups of retired people lately and it seems that people aren’t as aware of the Ontario Healthy Homes Renovation Tax Credit for seniors as they perhaps should be. This is a permanent, refundable personal income tax credit for seniors and family members who live with them. If you qualify, you can claim up to $10,000 worth of eligible home modifications on your tax return. The amount of money you get back for these expenses is calculated as 15 per cent of the eligible expenses you claim. For example, if you spend and then claim $10,000 worth of eligible expenses, you could get $1,500 back. This is how you qualify for the credit. You have to be: 65 years old or older by the end of the year for which you are claiming the credit; or living with a family member who is a senior. To be eligible for the tax credit, your income doesn’t matter -- seniors and their family members at all income levels are eligible. Before you start any modifications you should check to see that the work qualifies so that you can claim the expense. It’s best not to have any surprises. The website on this tax credit (see website address below) lists some examples of work that qualifies and this includes: walk-in bathtubs; wheel-in showers; widening passage doors; lowering existing counters/cupboards; certain renovations to permit a first-floor occupancy or secondary suite for a senior; grab bars around the toilet, tub and shower; handrails in corridors; wheelchair ramps, stair/wheelchair lifts and elevators; non-slip flooring in the bathroom; swingclear hinges on doors to widen doorways; motion-activated lighting; touch-andrelease doors and cupboards; and door locks that are easy to operate. You will also find on the web site some examples of
expenses that don’t qualify. These include renovations or repairs that simply improve the value of a home. Examples include: plumbing or electrical work; repairs to a roof; installing new windows; and heating or air conditioning systems. Devices that do not qualify include: equipment for home medical monitoring; equipment for home safety monitoring; wheelchairs; walkers; side-swing ovens; appliances with frontloaded controls; fire extinguishers, smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors. The tax credit doesn’t include services either, such as landscaping, housekeeping or home care. To get this tax credit, you have to claim your total expenses on your personal income tax return. For the 2012 tax year: you can claim expenses related to work billed for between Oct. 1, 2011 and Dec. 31, 2012. For tax years 2013 and after: each year, you can claim expenses related to work you were billed for in that year. Save your receipts for any modifications you make. You do not have to submit them with your tax return. But you should

The cost is $10/meal and we can keep the meal price down partly because we ask you to bring your own dishes and cutlery (and a soup bowl) just like at old fashioned church dinners. Bring a bag to take the dishes home dirty. You’ll also take home with you warm conversations and good wishes on these cold wintery days. Call 613-4767493 to register by the Tuesday prior at noon. See you there. And, if you can’t get to the hall, we’ll deliver the meal to seniors who live near Milford, for no extra charge. Just let us know when you register.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, life might get stressful really soon unless you curb your spending. Although you may feel like you're made of money right now, eventually the well will dry up. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Making changes is seldom easy, but change is necessary this week, Taurus. You may need to analyze which areas of your life can use the most work. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, kick back and have some fun in the next few days. Otherwise, you may waste an opportunity to recharge your batteries. Work responsibilities will not wait for long. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, expect some rejuvenated ambition and energy. Spurred on by this newfound energy, you can successfully tackle many of the things on your to-do list. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, unless you can focus you will just be puttering around without a goal. Put your mind on one thing and stick with this line of thinking for a few days. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, once you set your mind to something, it can be difficult to alter your opinions or perceptions. You may need to be a bit more flexible with a loved one this week.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, just when you think you have reached a dead end, a new path miraculously opens up. Don't miss your opportunity because time is fleeting. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 If practice makes perfect, then you have just about reached perfection, Sagittarius. You have been over and over something from every angle. It is now or never. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, there are many things you will not be able to change about this week, so why focus on the negativity? Instead, work around any issues and get the job done anyway. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 You often seem immune to the seriousness of certain situations, Aquarius. This week is no different. Try to recognize the gravity of a certain situation and put your best foot forward. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Don't think that your efforts have gone unnoticed, Pisces. A few key people have been keeping track of your accomplishments.

Help put local wineries in national spotlight through Wine Match contest
sippin’ in thE county JOE HACHE
each of these. It was actually fun. For the pizza it was a no brainer for us. Whenever we have company down we drop in on Norm Hardie winery for what our visitors have called the best pizza they have ever tasted. And with every pizza we have a bottle of Norm's Pinot noir; a match made in heaven. Now this is fun as I was at another winery this past weekend and the owner there (Kemp Stewart) said he had the best pizza and that we were to stop by and try his, and of course some wine to match. I can see this pairing up as a match to enter for next years competition! Another example was the cheese paring. There are a lot of great wines in the county that match up great with cheese but I happened to stop by Harwood Estates winery last week and they just happened to have some nine- year old cheddar on the counter to taste. I asked what they would pair that with and they just happened to have a bottle of their Marquesa on the counter (a port style wine we really enjoy). And man, did it go great together! And just like that I had an-

Well I don't know about you but for me it's been one heck of a long winter! There's nothing I enjoy more than running around the county in my Smart Car with the top down visiting wineries! And that started this week for me! I'm going to start this season off writing about The Great Canadian Wine Match. Natalie Maclean, author of the bestseller "Unquenchable" and editor of Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest wine site recently launched a wine match contest. The contest is open to anyone and is the first edition of what will become a Canadian battle of the bottles! It is free to participate and there is no reward at the end; merely recognition for particular wines and particular wine regions. We moved to the county because of the wine and I want to use this contest to really put the county wines at the forefront in Canada! This is what is being called the peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choice awards for wine. Like me, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be a wine expert to participate; you just need to like wine! You can nominate a wine from any province or region and this is what I have decided to do. To that end, I have chosen six county wines to pair with Canadian cheese, chicken, beef, seafood, pizza and dessert. This was a hard choice as there are many fine wines in the county and I dislike pointing out particular wines over other ones. Since this is the first competition we decided to take six different wines from six different wineries. When we do it again next year we will do six different wineries and so on. The categories as mentioned above are pizza, cheese, beef, chicken, seafood and dessert. People have asked how I decided what wines to pair with

tination. Once they arrive, however, many visitors are looking for information about exaclty what they can do and where they can go to be entertained. On Tuesday, four of the major players in local tourism promotion: Taste The County, the Prince Edward County Arts Council, the Prince Edward County Chamber of Tourism and Commerce, and the Festival Players of Prince Edward County set out to fix that by holding a tourism launch event. “What is there to do? That is the No. 1 question people ask,” said arts council member Tara Wilkinson, who serves as a first contact for some visitors at her Love Nest Studio Gallery just off Hwy 62 north of Bloomfield. Wilkinson said the arts council was mulling that question at a recent roundtable meeting to discuss its signature events — the Art in The County show, the studio tour, the jazz and music festivals, and the Maker’s Handcraft show, and the Clic photo show. At that meeting, she noted, were representatives from the other tourism organizations. After some discussion, they decided to run with an idea they hoped would inform the front-line staff of county businesses about what is happening

The Chamber also featured many of the local accommodations providers. The front-line staff visitors were able to fill out information about the new county events they learned and were encouraged to take away a button inviting guests to “Ask me about the county.” Each of those people was also sent home with a large calendar of events to post in their business. “We're sending everybody home with a calendar we’ve made up,” said Casey. “Everybody likes brochures, but you're not going to go through 50 brochures to see what to do that weekend.” Some of the operators demonstrating also saw

That sort of collaboration is important as in 2010, 543,000 visitors spent $76.5 million in the county according to statistics provided by the launch organizers. Better information might lead to even more visits and increased spending in the county. Taste The County communications co-ordinator Lindsay Casey explained that more than 35 attractions were invited to set up shop at Books & Company Tuesday night to explain what they do and front-line staff from more than 500 businesses were also invited to come and view the many displays. “It was really easy to get people involved,” she said. “They realized there was a really great need for an event like this and we hope to hold an event like this every year and make it bigger next year.“ Displays ranged from the culinary — the Prince Edward County Winegrowers Association, the Taste Trail, The Great Canadian and Cheese Festval — to the

merit in the event, not only for what it helps them offer to guests, but also some of the links they made working together. “The library is like a second Chamber of Commerce, we always have people coming in and asking about what they can do, “said Christine Renaud of the County of Prince Edward Public Library. “This is helpful for that, but it’s also helpful in finding the person behind these events and organizations. Sometimes we need that, we can’t always communicate with one another from web site to web site.” Women’s Institute representative Wilma DeWolde agreed that was a valuable plus to the collaborative approach employed at the launch event. “At least people are getting together with each other here,” she said. Casey said the partners involved have realized the importance of working together to better serve their many shared clients. She said she believes it is a sign of more collaboration to come in the future.

he PECI Track and Field Panthers shook off the winter rust Friday at the annual Michelle Foley Bay of Quinte Invitational meet on Friday with several Panthers making strong showings at the Mary Ann Sills park in Belleville. Once again making the Bay of Quinte his own personal playground, Cole Norton was the top sprinter of the multi school board tune up meet, winning both the 100 m (11.16) and the 200 m (23.27) sprint. The showing bodes well for Norton as Thousand Islands Secondary School and other East Regional Track powerhouses took part in the warm-up event but the Grade 10 PECI student is more focused on his times than beating the field. “I'm happy I was able to leave the Bay of Quinte Invitational with two golds,” Norton said. “But winning medals is not what I’m focused on right now. Until (the OFSAA provincial championship meet), I must focus on my times which I hope to lower at the Bay of Quinte championships.” Another top PECI performer with OFSAA ambitions is Courtney Wilson and the senior thrower enjoyed a nice day, taking home silver in the shot put (9.93 m) and bronze in the discus (29.10 m).

New Fund to Help Innovative Companies Grow - The Ontario government is moving forward with its plan to create a new venture capital fund that will help innovative start-ups and other emerging companies get the financing they need to build competitive businesses and create tomorrow’s jobs. The Ontario government will contribute up to $50 million to the new fund, which is part of the government’s plan to foster the right climate to attract investment, support innovation, create jobs and grow the economy. This new fund will build on the province’s successful Ontario Venture Capital Fund (OVCF) which invests in Ontario-focused funds that support growing companies. Created in 2008, the OVCF has leveraged $750 million in private capital. For further information, visit: http://www.ovcf.com/ New Resource for Specialty Crop Growers Growers in Ontario have a new resource to help them choose and grow a wide range of specialty crops called “SPECIALTY CROPportunities”. The Ministry of Agriculture and Food and the Ministry of Rural Affairs staff along with University of Guelph colleagues assembled a team of researchers from the University of Guelph, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Erie Innovation and Commercialization, and Vineland Research and Innovation Centre to
J. H. Anderson Elevators & Farm Supplies Inc.
pull together all of the available research on specialty crops and provide a single resource for growers. Initially the resource includes specific information on 100 specialty crops, which will be expanded over the next few years. Growers looking for information pertaining to a specific crop can use the crop category selection or alphabetical crop list to locate a profile on that crop. Each profile summarizes background information on the crop, its growth habit, and specific agronomic information such as plant spacing, fertility, irrigation, soil type, harvest, and storage requirements. It also includes information on pests of that crop, such as a listing of existing and potential pests, notes on potential pest impacts, and how to find more information on pest management. Finally, the profile lists any research projects conducted on that crop in Ontario and other references used to create the profile. If a grower is unsure of what they want to grow, they can use the Crop Selection Tool to narrow down the list of specialty crops to those specifically suited to their preferences and growing conditions. The resource can be found at http://www.omafra.gov.on.ca/CropOp/en/index.html. This project was funded by Agri-Food and Rural Link, a program of the Ontario government and University of Guelph Partnership.

Dukes identify talent in mini-camp Pair of young Junior C defencemen catch Abrams’ eye Jason Parks
Staff writer
The reciprocal nature of a junior hockey May mini camp was on full display in Wellington this past weekend as over 75 players suited up for the annual Dukes spring orientation. Five throw together squads of prospects and returnees and an entry from the Team Ontario Stingrays First Nations hockey organization hit the ice at the Essroc Arena looking to turn some heads and scouts take note of their skill. As well, the players get a chance to see the home of one of the flagship organizations of the Ontario Junior Hockey League and Marty Abrams and company were more then happy to roll out the red carpet for players that will help the squad battle for position near the top of the East Division standings. “It was a real good turn out and everything went smooth,” Abrams said. “We received a lot of compliments about the organization, the facility and the Wellington community so overall, it was a great weekend.” The month of May can be a silly season for junior hockey teams as prospective players make the rounds to various conditioning and evaluation camps, looking to see where they best fit in. “A lot of these players are going from camp to camp, some for exposure, others are there to test drive franchises out,” Abrams explained. “The ones that are offered multiple cards generally wait and weigh all the factors and that's why it's important for us to put our best foot forward and show how things are done in Wellington.” In terms of returning players, forwards Luc Brown and Abbott Girduckis were sharp this weekend.So was third year blueliner Austin Broadhurst who skated with

a confident stride and controlled the play most of the time when he was on the ice during the two-day session. Turning heads on the blueline were 1996-birth-year defencemen Justin Bean and Jacob Panetta. Bean was outstanding for the Central Junior C league's Uxbridge Bruins this season, winning that league's rookie of the year award and earning a draft selection from the Belleville Bulls in 2013 OHL Priority draft. A right shot defender, Bean tallied 32 points in 40 games. “He's very skilled and showed a ton of poise at our camp,” Abrams said. Closer to home, Panetta was no slouch for the Schmalz Cup champion Picton Pirates, picking up 21 points in 31 regular season games and adding seven points in nine playoff contests. “If he doesn't make the Bulls, we are very interested in him,” Abrams said “He's a smooth skater and over the course of the past year, he has developed a physical game. We would expect him to step right in and not miss a beat just like (2011-12 Empire rookie of the year) Abbott Girduckis did for us this sea-
son and that's a credit to Jacob and the Pirates organization,” Abrams said. In the net, Abrams believed Taylor of the Detroit Little Caesar's minor midget club was a standout and it wasn't just his 6'4” frame that was a highlight. “I thought he played well all weekend,” Abrams said. Another tall netminder that was high on the Dukes list was Picton netminder Adam Wood. The 6'4” Reaboro native has OHL experience with the Erie Otters and was 13-3-1 for the Pirates in an injury shortened 2012-13 campaign. “If we were going to drop the puck tomorrow, Adam Wood would be one of our goalies, he's got tons of experience, he's very mature and we will watch him over the summer,” Abrams said. Keeping with Junior C prospects, Jordan Cannons was a lone bright spot for the Deseronto Storm this past season and showed well in Wellington's camp. “He was great and came away from our camp earning a spot at the Belleville Bulls mini camp later this month, so we are very happy for him,” he added.

MEMORIAMS
FERGUSON- In memory of Robert (Bob) Ferguson May 16, 2012. Dad A garden of the heart; He planted all the good things, That gave our lives their start. He turned us to the sunshine, And encouraged us to dream; Fostering and nuturing The seeds of self-esteem. And when the winds and rain came, He protected us enough; But not too much because he knew We would stand up strong and tough. His constant good example, Always taught us right from wrong; Markers for our pathway that will last a lifetime long. We are our Fathers garden, We are his legacy Thank you Dad we love you. Love always Candy. FERGUSON- In memory of a dear friend, Bob Ferguson, who passed away one year ago may 18, 2012. Although the world keeps turning And the sun comes up each day, Life has never been the same Since you were called away. You were such a special person So gentle, good and kind And have left the sweetest memories And thoughts of you behind I only wish there was a way That I could see you one more time To thank you for the joy brought Into this life of mine. Forever remembered and loved by Bonnie and Denny Frost.
FERGUSON- Robert. May 16, 2012. I dreamed last night You held my hand As the tear drops filled my eyes Your presence filled the air I tried to reach for you But found you too far away So I cried again Waiting for the day When I see you again I know just what I'll do I'll gently grab you by the hand To make my dreams come true. Your loving wife Bonnie & family. FERGUSON- In memory of Uncle Bob Ferguson, who left our side May 16, 2012. You faded into the setting sun, Slipped away, But I won't cry, Cause I know l'll never be lonely For you are the stars to me, You are the light I follow I'll see you again This is not where it ends I will carry you with me Till I see you again. Always loved and remembered by Brian and Christine McCoy and family. WALKER (Taylor). In loving memory of our dear sister Betty Marie, who passed away May 18, 1974. No matter how life changes No matter what we do A special place within our hearts Is always kept for you. Lovingly remembered by Elva, Bob and Deanna.

CHAMPS ON THE COURT
The Picton Gazette THURSDAY, MAY 16, 2013
Noise level at night doubled, says Elmes WIND, from page 1
Elmes indicated the sleep disturbance was much worse for her husband Neil who has trouble sleeping yearround, whether the windows are open or not. “He will move out of our bedroom. He has tried every room in the house except the bathroom — he does have his limits,” she said. “He’s gone through all of that, even trying with a sleeping bag in a hallway to try to sleep through the night. It also impacts me.” There have been times, Elmes said, when her husband has had to sleep in the comfort of the basement and he’s even had to go as far as turning off the furnace and leaving his family in the cold. She added that once her husband woke up after having a dream, feeling like he was constantly spinning. He had bad vertigo and had to go to the doctor on that occasion. Elmes also said she’s felt physical pain as a result of the turbines. Sometimes, she says, that will come in the form of a sharp, fleeting pain in either ear — a condition she says she’s never had a concern with in her life before. Other times, Elmes describes having a pain right where her jaw meets the rest of her head, right below the ear. “I get a very distinctive pain there and I’ve only had that once before in my entire life, when I spent several hours at the home of a person who lives near a different turbine project.” Another day, Elmes describes a shutdown of the project around mid-day. She was sitting in her kitchen and she heard her ears pop and crackle, much like they do when she’s on an airplane landing. Now a spokesperson for the Chatham-Kent Wind Action Group, Elmes said she’s had her days when she has tried to ignore her surroundings, but it just didn’t seem to work. “I’ll just sit in my house with my back to wherever so I’m not looking out and seeing them. Instead, you see them reflected in the window,” Elmes said, her speech broken as she wiped back tears. “It impacts every part of your life.” Elmes also attributes the return of her son’s asthma after eight years to the change in her environment and she finds that worry might also be among the biggest health risks. She worries for her husband and son and says that she has people stopping her on the streets and calling her at all hours to tell what is happening to them. She also said people tell her they won’t visit her home. Elmes has also tried to follow the sound impact of the neighbouring project by monitoring night-time noise levels. She said before the project was constructed, she bought a noise meter and measured an average of 2527 decibels at night. Once the project was operating, she says she often saw numbers above the 40 decibel threshold, sometimes eclipsing 50. “It’s a very big difference in our environment,” she said. Elmes said she and her husband have placed more than 180 telephone calls with the province’s spills monitor-
ing hotline, which is the resource homeowners near the project have been told to use to report high levels of sound. She said she has been visited by Ministry of Environment personnel, but almost never when she would describe the noise as “bad,” and never at night. The counsel for both sides raised a dispute about hearsay evidence and further testimony and cross-examination for Elmes was delayed until this week. With the new ground, the counsel for the appellant, the Ministry of Environment, and the proponent Gilead started this stage of the hearing cautiously, as they argued the importance of medical records for those testifiying, the relevance of distance from complainants to turbines in comparison to non-complainants, and the latitude of evidence laywitnesses such as Elmes would be able to offer. In his summation, Gillespie noted he’d call the 11 post-turbine witnesses from seven different project areas as well as a handful of preturbine witnesses near Ostrander Point to talk about their pre-existing conditions which might make them more susceptible to annoyance or health impacts. In citing the tribunal’s hearing on the Erickson Kent Breeze project in ChathamKent, Gillespie argued the tribunal does not require an appellant to determine that harm does occur or the mechanism that causes that harm. “We simply say that
debate ended at Erickson,” he said, arguing that although the Ministry and Gilead may bring acoustics experts, they shouldn’t dominate the discussion. Instead, he said the matter of “extreme annoyance” and “serious health effects” are a matter of degree. Gillespie said he’d call three experts. Dr. Robert Thorne, a New Zealand expert in nose regulation, wind farm testing and analysis, Dr. Robert McMurtry, the former dean of the Western medical school, and Dr. Sarah Laurie, an Australian physician he said probably has more experience dealing with impacts of turbines than any other practitioner. Ministry counsel Sylvia Davis said she didn’t agree with Gillespie’s view on Erickson, but would save her arguments for closing. She indicated she plans to call Denton Miller of the MOE approvals branch who approved the noise assessment for Ostrander Point, Brian Howe, an engineer and expert in acoustical matters and three medical doctors : Cornelia Baines, David Colby, and Kieran Moore. Gilead counsel Bryn Gray identified six witnesses: Shant Dakousian, who handled noise assessments at Ostrander Point, Dr. Al Lightstone, an acoustical engineer, Dr. Geoff Leventhall and Werner Richards on low-frequency sound and infrasound and Dr. Chris Olsson and Dr. Robert McCunney on health studies. The tribunal shifts to Toronto for teleconferencing today and tomorrow.

Jazz festival announces jam-packed 2013 lineup The Prince Edward County Jazz Festival has announced the performance schedule for the annual late summer concert series. Later this summer some of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest jazz stars will celebrate Oscar Petersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music and re-create Benny Goodmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1938 Carnegie Hall concert at the 2013 Prince Edward County Jazz Festival Aug. 13 - 18. Christine and Ingrid Jensen, Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s saxophone and trumpet sisters, and saxophonist Phil Dwyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canadian Songbookâ&#x20AC;? round out the main stage entertainment for the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only world-class selfsupporting jazz festival. The gala opening at Huff Estates Winery on Wednesday Aug. 14 will feature the popular â&#x20AC;&#x153;dixielandâ&#x20AC;? jazz band Dixie Demons. Over 75 world-class musicians from Canada and beyond will play in 25 venues scattered throughout idyllic Prince Edward County over the course of the sixday festival. Those dates include four major concerts at Picton's Regent Theatre. On Thursday, Aug. 15, Oscar Peterson is celebrated as his 1962 album Night Train is offered featuring Dave Young and Robi Botos. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been nearly six years since â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Maharajah of the keyboardâ&#x20AC;? (as Duke Ellington referred to Oscar Peterson) passed away. The legacy: an astounding eight Grammy awards in the 60year career of a musician described by most of his contemporaries as the greatest jazz pianist who ever lived. Three of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finest musicians, all of whom had a relationship with Oscar, will resurrect the memory of the legendary Oscar Peterson Trio and its recording of the 1962 album Night Train â&#x20AC;&#x201D;

one of Petersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most commercially successful recordings. Bassist Dave Young was a musical colleague and a long-time friend; pianist Robi Botos was mentored by and opened for Peterson, and drummer Terry Clarke recorded with him. In the second half of the show, trumpeter Kevin Turcotte and guitarist Reg Schwager will turn the trio into a quintet to explore more â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aspects of Oscarâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the title of the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concert series that recalls Petersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regular championing of the twentieth centuryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest songwriters. On Friday Aug. 16, the Juno-award winning Jensen Sisters take the Regent stage offering their unique & collaborative style to local jazz fans. The Jensens - trumpeter Ingrid and sister saxophonist Christine - grew up in a music-saturated British Columbia home where Mom exposed them to everything from Chopin to Broadway to big bands. Although both have earned wide individual acclaim, the Jensens have collaborated and played together all over the worldâ&#x20AC;ŚSeattle's Jazz Alley, New York's Museum of Modern Art, as well as international tours and cruises.

After earning a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in jazz performance from McGill, Christine carved out a career in small and large ensembles. Her quartet has performed at Dizzyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Club at Lincoln Center, and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s frequently heard live in concert on CBC radio and Radio-Canada's Espace-Musique. In recent years, her music has taken her to India, Peru, Argentina, Chile, Denmark, Mexico, Sweden, Turkey, and Haiti. Treelines-The Christine Jensen Jazz Orchestra won the 2011 Juno Award for Contemporary Jazz Album of the Year, along with Quebecâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Opus Award for jazz recording of the year. A graduate of Bostonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Berklee School, Ingridâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trumpet career has delivered her from the subways of New York City to a JUNO award and sharing stages with the likes of the Grammy award-winning Maria Schneider Orchestra. A wide-ranging list of musical collaborations and projects includes Saturday Night Live, The Playboy Jazz Festival with the Bill Cosby AllStars, trumpeter Terence Blanchard, bassist Ron Carter, piano virtuoso Mulgrew Miller, and the Grammy-winning saxophonist Kenny Garrett.

On Saturday, the PEC Jazz Fest presents 'The Canadian Songbook' featuring Phil Dwyer and Laila Biali Fresh off his second career JUNO win for contemporary jazz album of the year (Changing Seasons), saxophonist/pianist/composer Phil Dwyer caught the jazz worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention as a 17-yearold saxophone player in Fred Strideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s West Coast Jazz Orchestra. A career with roots in Vancouver, New York, Edmonton, Toronto and now back on Vancouver Island, it also includes performances on JUNO-winning albums by Hugh Fraser, Don Thompson, Guido Basso, Joe Sealy and Molly Johnson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Canadian Songbookâ&#x20AC;? re-invents the music of various Canadian songwriters â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the obvious, from Neil Young to Joni Mitchell to Leonard Cohen to Gordon Lightfoot â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to the lesserknown songwriters such as francophone indie act Karkwa. In past performances, Dwyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new takes on familiar songs have included everything from a jazz waltz for Randy Bachmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Come Undone, to a post-bop makeover of Ian Tysonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Four Strong Winds, and lots in between! The Songbook quintet includes Order of Canada winner and flugelhorn master, Guido Basso; award-winning Canadian jazz pianist, vocalist and songwriter Laila Biali, whose collaborations and tours include Sting and Chris Botti; guitarist Rob Piltch, and bassist George Koller. The 2013 festival wraps up with the 'King of Swing' and his infamous 1938 concert at Carnegie Hall. On Jan. 16, 1938 the devilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music â&#x20AC;&#x201D; invades the hallowed home of classical concerts. That very week, Benny Goodman, worried it would be a disaster. It would, however, turn out to be the most important jazz concert of the 20th Century. Now, 75 years later, the Prince Edward County Jazz Festival is proud to present a re-creation of this revolutionary moment in jazz history. The small ensemble and big band Carnegie Hall music of legends such as Goodman, Harry James, Gene Krupa, Lionel Hampton, Duke Ellington and Count Basie will ring out again, performed by a great big band full of world-class swing and jazz musicians, and featuring vocalist Barbra Lica.

Council gives its approval to 40-lot Picton subdivision
LAWN & GARDEN MARKETPLACE
Stakeholders satisfied final draft of proposal meets all requirements Chad Ibbotson
Staff writer
Council voted on Tuesday to give final approval to the draft approved subdivision plan for a development in Picton. The approval of the subdivision plan is subject to confirmation from the commissioner of engineering, development, and works that all the requirements are fulfilled to his satisfaction prior to the execution of the subdivision agreement. The final approved plan of subdivision will be registered upon being advised from the municipal solicitor and the commissioner of engineering, development, and works that all conditions of the draft approval have been fulfilled. Once the final approval is given and the subdivision plan is registered, the developer can begin to sell lots in the subdivision. Under the plan put forward by developer Sandbank Homes Inc. the development â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Welbank West Subdivision â&#x20AC;&#x201D; will consist of 40 lots and two blocks intended for new single detached, semi-detached and condominium residential developments. Council also voted to set aside water capacity for 36 single detached, eight semidetached and 23 condominium townhouse units for the development, which will be located on Jasper Avenue north of Main Street in Picton. A report submitted to council on Tuesday says the Welbank West Subdivision
was given draft approval by council on May 8, 2012. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The subdivision is an appropriate extension to the existing adjacent development on Jasper Avenue in the Town of Picton,â&#x20AC;? the report says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The 40 new residential lots and two blocks are to be serviced by municipal piped water and sanitary sewer systems.â&#x20AC;? The report says engineering, development, and works staff, the fire department, county solicitor, Quinte Conservation, Canada Post, Hydro One, and Bell Canada are all satisfied with the proposed final subdivision plan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;County staff and the applicant are satisfied with the agreement as drafted and support the recommendations of this report,â&#x20AC;? the report says. The report says all conditions of the draft approval have already been or will be satisfied prior to the registration of the final plan of subdivision. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Item 19 of the draft conditions requires Sandbank Homes Inc. to construct an opaque fence along the rear of lots three to 13 inclusive where the lots abut the Downes Avenue road allowance,â&#x20AC;? the report says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sandbank Homes have suggested the construction of a landscaped berm in lieu of the opaque fence. Staff is satisfied that the suggested alternative will satisfactorily address the requirements of Item 19.â&#x20AC;? The recommendations within the report support the strategic plan objective of â&#x20AC;&#x153;managing growth and its impactsâ&#x20AC;? the report says.

Council goes against provincial policy statement to rezone land Hillier couple granted severance for residential lot on prime agricultural land as County approves in 10-5 recorded vote ChaD IbbOtsON
Staff wRIteR
While the provincial policy statement and the County's official plan called for a residential lot severance on prime agricultural land to be denied, council voted against policy and approved the application. While some councillors argued the policies should be followed to protect the prime agricultural ground, the majority of council decided — since the relatively small parcel in question was already surrounded by residences — in all likelihood it wouldn't be used for farming anyway. The motion was passed in a recorded vote of 10–5 with councillors Jamie Forrester, Alec Lunn, Brian Marisett, Janice Maynard, and Bev Campbell voting against. The issue came to a planning public council meeting in April when Lyle and Esther Lloyd filed a consent application for part of their lot along Wilson

‘You have tractors bigger than the size of the property that’s out there. It’s at the end of an infill.’ JIM DUNLOP COUNCILLOR
tion of Agriculture president John Thompson asked council to deny the consent application. “I'm in full agreement with the staff report which recommends denial of this application,” he said. “The proposed severance to create a new residential building on prime agricultural designated land in a large area of prime agricultural lands is not permitted under the provincial policy statement.” He said approval is also not consistent with the policies contained in the coun-
ty's official plan. He said prime agricultural land, under the official plan, is to be protected from “incompatible uses” and “unnecessary fragmentation.” Councillor Jamie Forrester was opposed to the approving the application. He said all prime agricultural land, no matter what size, should be protected. “We've heard discussions about what's going to happen in the future, food for the world and how we're going to feed people, and the need for small based farms,” he said. “… If we start taking all these little lots — fragmented lots as they may be — but there might be a time 10, 15, 20 years down the road that these little lots of prime agricultural land are going to be very important for our community and all communities.” He said council is sending a mixed message through its planning decisions. “We talked a few months ago with our development charges about try-

ing to drive growth toward cities and here we're going against our rules, going against the planning staff's recommendation and allowing growth to go into rural areas,” he said. “I don't know what kind of message we're trying to send here because we're going against what we've been doing.” Councillor Brian Marisett agreed. He said the land is an appropriate size to be farmed. “We ourselves farm several parcels smaller than that, but I guess in the eyes of a lot of people we don't count because we're small farmers,” he said. Marisett said he talked to some larger farming operations who concurred that the land is big enough to be farmed. “They said 'certainly, no problem at all.' They have the ability with their equipment to go in and if it's good land they want it,” Marisett said. “I know in our community there are lots of parcels like this with houses around and, when they become available, there's almost a bidding war between farmers to farm them.” The consent application was approved subject to several conditions that must be fulfilled no later than one year from the date of mailing of the decision. These conditions include proof of a ground water source and a provision for cash in lieu of parkland in the amount of $1,500.

damage has already been done. “This is simply infilling and I can't foresee anyone who's going to farm in between the two residences that are already there,” he said. “If you take a look at the planning report, planning said that night, if the applicant waited a year, the official plan would be changed and he would be able to go ahead and do it. All we would be doing is putting this off for a year.” Councillor Terry Shortt said if it were a new lot in an open prime agricultural area, he wouldn't support the severance. However, he said this application is for an area already being used for residences. “Principle is one thing, but logic is another,” Shortt said. “Logic would dictate, seeing as that road is already inhabited by nine other homes, including one more here is not going to impact the area any more than it did before.” Prince Edward Federa-
Road in Hallowell. The couple wished to sever and rezone the land, but the application was recommended to be denied by council at that meeting because the parcel — about 2.9 acres — was classified as prime agricultural land. However, committee of the whole recommended the consent application and rezoning be approved. Councillor Jim Dunlop supported the severance. He said previous councils had already approved five or six houses in the same area and this would be the last one. “There's a house being built right next to this particular lot that they're asking for and there's no way you're going to have (farming there),” he said. “You have tractors bigger than the size of the property that's out there. It's at the end of an infill.” Councillor Robert Quaiff said the lot is able to be farmed, but someone has to want to farm it. He said the

Every home needs natural lighting and a regular exchange of fresh air to help maintain a healthy indoor environment. Not only does an inadequate air exchange result in stale air but in many cases also results in excessive moisture levels which can lead to other concerns. Many homes “leak” sufficient air through structural openings and regular doorway usage to keep the indoor air quality in balance, but such leakage certainly doesn’t help with energy efficiency. For many other homes modern heating and air-conditioning or whole house ventilation systems help keep the temperature and moisture at comfortable levels. Windows, however, are still the primary mechanism for regulating the home atmosphere (for at least part of the year), and while often overlooked by many homeowners aside from basic cleaning, they do require maintenance. The biggest challenge is keeping the windows in good working condition while maintaining their appearance as they age. Because wood is still a common material for residential window frames and generally neglected, proper protection from the elements is important. It is not unusual for some windows in any house to bind when operated or be stuck shut: • High humidity can cause frames to swell making operation difficult. • Casement-style windows can experience worn hardware or the frame can warp causing them to bind. • With double-hung windows the weight of the window is balanced by friction tracks, factoryloaded spring mechanism, or, in older windows, by sash weights suspended on chains or cords within the frame. Lubricating the chan-
nels with paraffin or a dry bar of soap could be in order if the sash is difficult to move. Over time, the sash cords or mechanisms can fail. Full failure is not common, but can happen, so be careful if working on double-hung windows as a sudden falling sash can do real physical damage. • If windows are closed too soon after painting, they may be bonded to the frame. • Self-repair or replacement is possible if one has the required skill, but a professional may be required and is recommended in most cases. When windows become too old, too bothersome or their appearance is outdated, replacement is now a routine and relatively common choice. Vinyl and metal extrusions compete widely with wood for frame and sash finishing with double-glazing, or triple glazing almost standard in cold climates. Special coatings are also available to cut down on solar heat gain or heat transfer in cold weather. Replacement windows can come without casing around the exterior edge, permitting them to be inserted from inside the home without disturbing the exterior finish of the structure, and most can be ordered with built-in screens. Full replacement can be expensive however making routine maintenance an attractive alternative. The return on investment will be dependent on your particular situation and type window. Even with a relatively long return on investment, the important thing for many homeowners will be that they not only look better than the old windows, but now work and require much less maintenance. A little care now can save you a lot down the road, properly maintained windows can provide years of service.

Preparing for an Open House
If you are thinking about selling your home this spring, preparing for an open house is likely on your to-do list. Open houses are an excellent way to showcase your home and when done right, can really ignite interest and help you achieve your end goal of a speedy sale. According to Phil Dorner, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association an open house can be an incredible sales tool but homeown-
ers need to be sure that they put their best foot forward. “Often, you only get one chance to make an impression on potential buyers so make sure that your home is in tip top shape for the open house. I can’t count the number of times that I’ve had serious buyers go through an open house and be turned off by messes, clutter and signs of disrepair,” says Dorner. Once a buyer makes up their
mind that a property isn’t for them, it is nearly impossible to turn them around so guarantee that buyers get the best first impression of your home by following these simple steps: • Make sure your home is spotless. • Keep clutter to a minimum and put away personal belongings like family photos, etc. • Make sure that you don’t just throw excess belongings into closets – get organized first,
otherwise buyers will think your home is lacking in storage. • Ensure home inspection reports, appraisals and documents describing major repairs & warranties are easily accessible. • Make sure that vehicles are removed from the driveway and that there is room alongside your property for parking. • Talk to your Realtor about signs and additional marketing opportunities for your open house.

“If there is one thing for homeowners to keep in mind when it comes to preparing for an open house, it’s that the devil is in the details.” “Not only are potential buyers picky but they are likely visiting a number of other houses on the same day so the time that they can spend in your home is limited. To make sure that you make the best impression possible, do a walkthrough of your home with your

Looking to buy or sell your home, let Real Estate Agent Anna Milligan take you step by step through the process.
It seems we always want to find613-561-0984 more space in 613-561-1786 our homes. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter whatenibourg@sutton.com size of house we amilligan@sutton.com have,Twitter: we accumulate seem to Twitter: @MerolaDesigns @AnnaMilligan4or collect items Twitter:and @Enibourg run out of space. Especially now in these hard economic times, it may be easier and more budget-friendly to add you your current home than to sell and find a bigger place. Although with the low interest rates, it is also a great time to invest in a larger house. However, how do you decide what to do? Should you finish the attic? Turn the basement into an apartment? Build a completely new addition to your home? The best option will depend on your home, your needs, and your budget you have to work with. I have included a list of the advantages and the disadvantages of some options. 613-561-0244

Attic Remodeling Remodeling the attic may be more difficult than another remodel because of the low ceilings. A very good design is needed to ensure the space is taken full advantage of while making it look beautiful and ensuring it is safe. Attic floors may require reinforcing or replacing to support the weight of new furniture and regular traffic, and stairs may be needed to make attic easily accessible. These are all aspects that may discourage you to pursue an attic remodeling project; however, when they are done, attics turn out to be one of the favourite places for family members to hang around, because that become cozy and beautiful spaces.
2
Basement Remodeling The basement is a very large open space that offers tons of different and interesting opportunities. Your basement could become a full apartment, a playroom, a guest room, an office, an entertainment center, or a gym, among a variety of options. The amount of money you have to spend is the decisive factor. Basements have an important inconvenience: moisture. Before beginning any basement remodeling, you have to make sure the space is protected against moisture; otherwise, you will have wasted your money and time. A good interior designer will help you find the best solution for any moisture condition you may have to solve.
Room Building To add an entirely new area to your house may be, by far, the most expensive option; nevertheless, it is the one that will add more value to your house if it is done right. One of the preferred way to add more space to a home when building a new room is by building a sunroom or enclosed patio, which offers a different and pleasing option of a family room or place to throw parties. If you decide to build a new room, you will most definitely need the help of a professional, because no matter where you live, there will always be permit issues and construction standards that you will have to meet. Whatever option you choose to make, the most important thing is doing it right, thus find the right help, and make your home a better place to live.
