Land Trust formally dedicates Miller nature reserve Parcel of land on county’s south shore will never be open for business JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER

It's mission accomplished for the Hastings and Prince Edward Land Trust. With about 60 people looking on, the local conservancy group officially unveiled a plaque dedicating a 490-acre parcel of land situated between Hilltop Road and Lake Ontario in South Marysburgh to the memory of Cecil and Nina Miller Sunday afternoon. In the Miller name since the 1800s, the land served as pasture for dairy cows for many decades before being purchased by the local Land Trust with support from the Nature Conservancy of Canada, the Ontario Heritage Trust and local fundraising, about three years ago. Now called the Miller Family Nature Reserve, the lands will serve the greater good and protect a significant birding area, a sensitive natural oak savannah and a rare alvar – a limestone plain with little or no soil covering. Land Trust board member Dick Bird said Sunday's ceremony was a day of commemoration for the natural acreage. “This area is not open for business,” Bird explained.

“The right description of this property from our point of view is it's available. So when Terry Sprague wants to run a bird tour, he calls us, when the bird banders want to do some work on bobolinks, they call

us. Like any good neighbour, call us and it's available for use.” Bird said the county's south shore between Long Point and Point Petre is a very special place with some amaz-

ing things going on year round when it comes to nature. “This area is far more significant than Point Pelee, far more waterfowl go through here and it's far more diverse

than that skinny little piece of land that sticks out into Lake Erie,” Bird said. “Over 25 per cent of the world's long-tail ducks go through here. We think it's a special place to conserve and we are willing to

work with anyone else that feels that way.” Land Trust president Stewart Murray said the group surveyed and examined all the natural features of the two counties stretching from Algonquin Park to Lake Ontario “and we kept coming back to the south shore of Prince Edward County as the most significant natural area within both of the counties.” “This area provides an important birding area in terms of migration but it also allows for migration of other species including dragon flies which migrate across the lake,” Murray explained Another full-time resident of the area is Blanding's turtle and while there weren't any specimens immediately evident to attendees Sunday afternoon, it's a good bet there are some living on the Miller Family Nature Reserve. “We know Blanding's turtle is out there today with a big smile on its face, happy we've saved some land and provided a home for this rare species,” he commented, adding it was the Miller family's willingness to see the area preserved that led to Sunday's ceremony. “With that in mind, we name this area in honour of the Millers of today as well all the Millers that have been part of this historic area of Prince Edward County,” Murray added.

Union Gas prepares to run new natural gas line under Bay of Quinte $8.9-million project in response to Ministry of Transportation’s order to remove existing line as it plans upgrades to Skyway Bridge ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

Commuters using the Skyway Bridge connecting Sophiasburgh and the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory may experience construction-related delays between June and November. During that period of time, Union Gas is undertaking an $8.9-million project to replace a natural gas pipeline currently attached to the bridge with one running below the Bay of Quinte. The construction was approved by the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) in March, following a comprehensive environmental assessment. Andrea Stass, Union Gas's external communications and media relations manager, says the pipeline

work was precipitated by an order from the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) to replace the existing stretch of six-inch diameter pipe which runs the length of the bridge on its west side. "The Ministry of Transportation plans to replace the road surface of the Skyway Bridge on Hwy 49 and has directed Union Gas to relocate the natural gas pipeline that is currently attached to the bridge," Stass told the Gazette in an e-mail Tuesday afternoon. The pipeline will be replaced with 1,350 of eightinch diameter steel pipeline, which will be installed below the Bay of Quinte using horizontal direction drilling, a method that will not see equipment in the water itself. Union has selected Vaughan-based

Link-Line Contractors Ltd. to complete the work. The company has been recognized for its safety and damage-reduction efforts, winning the James L. Abraham Safety Award of Excellence last year as the Canadian contractor with the lowest lost-time accident frequency rate for distribution pipeline constriction and in 2013, it was recognized by the Ontario Regional Common Ground Alliance as the excavator of the year at its damage prevention symposium. "Our top priority is safety and the pipeline will be constructed in compliance with all provincial safety requirements for pipeline construction," said Stass. In its March 19 decision, the OEB noted that Union had considered two alternatives to drilling for the proposed pipeline. The first was a plan to attach a pipeline to the other side of the bridge, but it was rejected because there was no approval from the MTO to attach a pipeline there. It was also noted there would be higher operational and maintenance costs to maintain that pipeline. A second alternative

would have seen the pipeline laid on the bottom of the Bay of Quinte. That method was rejected because there would be potentially significant environmental impacts to fish

habitats and the potential for third-party damage. Such construction did not meet with industry best practices. Union did consult with the MTO and it was decided

the construction of the pipeline adjacent to the bridge, but within an MTO right-of-way was the best alternative.

Open house encourages information sharing about health care LHIN, QHC, CCAC invite public to provide input on delivery models and priorities ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

What will health care look like in Prince Edward County in the future? That was overlying issue that brought a flurry of people through the doors at the Prince Edward Community Centre hall Tuesday for an open house information session organized by the South East Local Health Integration Network (SE LHIN) with its partners the Quinte Healthcare Corporation (QHC) and the South East Community Care Access Centre (SE CCAC). “It was a full house here for a while,� said the SE LHIN manager of health system development Cynthia Martineau of an event that had drawn 52 people through the first two of four hours. She said the event was part of a consultation process in advance of its fourth Integrated Health Services Plan, which will shape the priorities of care for 2016-2019. The event also falls in line with a hospital services project the LHIN is presently undertaking to review all areas of hospital service. “We’re using this as an opportunity to inform,� she said. “With an open house format, everyone has an opportunity to chat and to learn something. It’s more accessible and less obtrusive than a town hall meeting. People don’t feel as overwhelmed here.� Martineau said Picton was the second community to host such an open house with Bancroft hosting one last Thursday. Thus far, she said the discussion has provided useful feedback both ways. “Lots of people are bringing up good questions. Some are really informed and they come with specific questions they’re asking about. Others are just here getting information,� she said. With the questions she was fielding, Martineau said there was a pretty good balance with equal representation from people concerned

about sustaining Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital and those looking to see more support for community health services. With the SE LHIN among the lowest spenders for community support services in the province outside of northern Ontario, Martineau said a priority in recent yards has been to increase funding support for those areas. “We need hospitals, but we also need care provided by family doctors and by community support services,� she said, adding keeping people healthy reduces the strain on hospital resources. Martineau also mentioned visitors to the Health Care Tomorrow sessions were also invited to fill out a 15-minute survey that discusses their wishes for the system. It focuses on what they like and dislike about the current system, what they would change, and where they feel priorities lie. The survey is also available online at www.healthcaretomorrow.ca. Thus far, Martineau said more than 1,000 people have filled in the survey across the LHIN’s footprint, including a healthy Quinte contingent. The survey is available until May 31. QHC director of communications Susan Rowe was one of several officials the hospital corporation had on hand Tuesday. She said QHC is in the process of developing a five-year plan about how hospital services

rent hospital and another being planned in the future would remain viable. She said that means a site that is big enough and comprehensive enough to ensure doctors want to continue to practice here and a building that will be able to provide the care residents need when they need it. She said many of the people she talked to understood the funding crunch the hospitals are facing and they understand they can’t access all services in each community. “Most understand there’s limited funding for health care and they know every hospital can’t provide every service,â€? she said. “They understand if they need to access a specialist or need a specialized procedure, they may have to go to Belleville or Kingston — but they want their 24-hour emergency care and they want inpatient care closer to home.â€? Rowe said QHC was most interested in having communications with peoand added the feedback A LOOK AT THE NUMBERS South East Local Health Integration Network manager of health ple it received from the open system development Cynthia Martineau shows off some statistics about patient care within the house would be shared with its leadership team and its region as part of Tuesday’s Health Care Tomorrow open house.

by the five downtowns though the volunteer steering committee with co-ordination provided by the municipality. “This two-year partnership between the County, the Chamber of Commerce and OMAFRA, will result in the development of five Strategic downtown revitalization plans — one for each of the communities of Picton, Bloomfield, Wellington, Consecon and Rossmore,” the release says. “In addition, the project will result in an overarching County-wide downtown revitalization strategy.” Residents will be consulted over the spring and summer to provide information to assist the creation of the plans. In the next few weeks project representatives are expected to conduct several surveys to identify any perceived challenges and opportunities through business owners, customers, and residents of each community. The release says a survey will be offered to business owners to get a better understanding of their current and future business needs, existing perceptions of their downtown, and any marketing and sales trends. “Customers of each downtown area will also be surveyed to identify shopping patterns and perceived gaps in the retail and service industries,” the release says. “Later in 2015, residents of the County will be offered an opportunity to identify how the County’s downtowns are currently used, and could be improved, from their perspective.” Efforts will also be made to identify and deal with infrastructure improvements required in the downtown areas. Later this year project officials will hold a public community design workshop to identify physical design priorities, future infrastructure needs, and any areas that need improvements in each of the five downtown areas.

The Picton Gazette Economic developer leaves Peterborough, picks county as base for upstart consulting firm

Taylor returns home to start business ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

In the decade Dan Taylor served as the County's economic development officer, he recruited businesses by selling sense of place and the freedom provided in the digital marketplace. Last month, he decided to follow his own advice by announcing he'd resign as the president and chief executive officer at Peterborough Economic Development (PED) after four years to return here and start a marketing and consulting business. "It's a digital world. A lot of business is not done faceto-face now and this is the right place for me and for my family," Taylor said. "I'm taking my own medicine. I believed it then and I believe it now. There is lots of opportunity for business in Prince Edward County." Originally, Taylor said that he and his wife Carrie planned to move their family to the Lift Lock city, but somehow that never materialized as something kept them here in Prince Edward. Instead, Taylor maintained an apartment there and kept community home on weekends. That grind eventually got him thinking about other possibilities for his career. "I wanted to root back full time in the county and be more available to my wife and children. I thought I have these wonderful skills I've acquired along the way that can help people with the challenges they face and there's a market," he recalled. "I thought, 'Why not? This is as good a

time as any.'" As he looks to embark on his new business, Taylor says he looks back on his time in Peterborough fondly and says he accomplished what he set out to do for that city and county. "It was a big job," he said, noting his tasks included restructuring the economic development corporation itself and putting it in a position to be financially stable. At the same time, he maintained a tight focus on attracting jobs and investment. Taylor helped spearhead a new PED strategic plan focusing on start-up business growth, which was

formally launched in November. He said, statistically, the organization had its best year on record in 2014, attracting about 1,000 jobs. "There's more to do, but for me I felt it was just time to move on," Taylor said. After finishing his term with PED April 30, Taylor has begun work on his new business which he says will offer marketing assistance to the private sector, economic development support for municipalities, and skills training for people working in those fields. An element of that work he's excited about is the chance to travel

as a keynote speaker. "I used to do a lot of public speaking, but my job in Peterborough was just too demanding. I'd like to ramp that up again," he said. With the county as his home base, Taylor said he has everything he is looking for to find a roster of clients, whether they come "next door, in the next county, in the next province, or in the next country" as much of his work can be done using communications technology or travelling to visit potential clients. As the business becomes established, Taylor said he might be able to bring work to others locally. "In the short term, the priority is to make sure I am gainfully employed, but over the longer term I definitely see the need for help in a supporting role," he said. "I'm using a local photographer now and I could see a need for creative supports like that, or technological supports." Leading up to his soft business launch this week, Taylor said he has made pitches and he believes he set the groundwork for a major business partnership. He's also been pleased with the reception he's received from the community as he embarks on his entrepreneurial venture. "A lot of people here in the community support me and am happy I'm back. They've believed in my skills and believed in me personally," he said. "That's the type of thing you wouldn't necessarily get in a place like Toronto, for example‌ This is home.�

COMMENTARY In its present form, question period is redundant

P

RIME Minister Stephen Harper’s record of attending daily question period in the House of Commons caused a stir earlier this week as the Ottawa Citizen reported he only attended the session 35 per cent of the time in the past year, his lowest record since 2006. Much of that discussion centering on Harper’s record or that of Justin Trudeau — which is almost as poor — misses the mark on a greater issue. While one can look at the statistics and surmise the leader of Canada’s government is being evasive and inaccessible — a conclusion one could also come to by observing Harper’s limitation on press appearances and the notorious tight grip the Prime Minister’s Office has on the government’s message from day-to-day — the fact remains question period is hardly that bastion of democracy it is held up to be in school classrooms across the country and in romanticized thoughts of our political institutions. Whether it is in Ottawa, at Queen’s Park or, we suspect, in legislature buildings in other capitals across the country, the daily session is little more than a time to show off for the cameras where opposition parties look for the best sound bites and typically ask the same question over and over ad naseum, pretending they expect a different answer. For their part, the government ministers and representatives typically stick to scripted materials of their own — usually non-answers — that they’ve carefully practiced and crafted in front of their own colleagues and spin doctors. Worse yet are the questions from government backbenchers that allow ministers to highlight programs their colleagues clearly know all about.

To be frank, it’s easy politicking in front of a captive audience and that’s why question period will likely never die. That said, politicians and media should take interest in seeing the public perception of question period change. One way they could do that is by downplaying the importance of the session. More people could be educated that the bulk of government work happens in committees, in caucus sessions, and less formal settings than the legislature itself. Perhaps, though it would put a strain on their tightening budgets, media could also sway coverage to the nuts-and-bolts of governance, rather than finding the quick daily hit. With the advent of new media,there are more opportunities than ever to access politicians. Another approach, which likely would mean much more to a cynical electorate, would be for those elected as representatives to be able to put aside the shackles of the party system. Imagine if they were able to ask real questions of significance to their constituents and get genuine answers as all members work together for the greater good. That freedom from towing the party line during question period could spark new interest in the session and it would give all members incentive to become involved in the process, while requiring ministers to be present to account for the business of their own departments. Those tuning in on television might actually learn something they didn’t know and resist the urge to change the dial. It’s unlikely that party politics will ever disappear and one fully expects propaganda and electioneering to take place regularly. The Canadian public has moved beyond the need for a formal session for parties to do just that.

Bill C-51 discussion in Belleville Monday

Sukanya Pilay, a former law professor at the University of Windsor , an internationally recognized legal authority on civil rights and national security issues, and the current general council and head of the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, will be joining us to help us understand Bill C-51 inside and out. If you're not sure about what Bill C-51 is, or would like a more detailed understanding of the Bill going forward, we'll be discussing these issues and more with Sukanya, and opening up the floor to questions. Whether you feel C-51 is a done issue or not the evening should be informative and Sukanya is an extremely engaging and knowledgeable expert on national security and civil rights issues.

disaster for traffic flow. I feel sorry for the wonderful staff at our location who are going to bear the brunt of the criticism for these questionable decisions. Can this not be rectified? C. Keen, Picton

Scientists more trusted to look out for public health, welfare

Regarding federal scientists protesting government interference, it seems these scientists are not allowed — in essence, are silenced in giving information on their findings to the public, without approval from their employer. This reminds me of the book Corrupt to the Core, authored by a Canadian government. scientist, Dr. Shiv Chora who, along with another scientist, refused to approve various harmful drugs intended for meat and milk production in Canada. Their findings were "swept under the rug" by their employer, and were not acted upon. They then whistleblew and alerted the

public of the serious dangers of consuming foods containing these chemicals. Consequently, they were both fired and Chopra wrote the book outlining his position and findings and as a dire warning to the public at large, who, incidentally, paid his and his colleague's salary, as well as the salaries of the govt. people who fired them. So who do you think was really looking out for our health and welfare, and had our best interests at heart? Not the ones elected by the public and entrusted to do the right thing for all of us, as I see it. Louise Donahue London, Ont.

What will be the return for ratepayers on Hydro One sale?

Employees of Hydro One chip in $1 for every $ 4 put into their pension fund in other words, the ratepayer pays the difference . Also the ratepayers had a liability per Hydro One employee of $250,000 at the end of 2013 which was more than three times that of the other 72 local distribution companies. Now you add in the cost of the McGunityWynne failed energy experiment let us start with McGuinty's announcement of his $87 -billion plan and

George Smitherman announces green energy would add one per cent to our hydro bill each year for 20 years but McGunity announces later a 46-per-cent increase with a 10-per-cent rebate. Then Wynne and Chiarelli announce a further 42 -per-cent increase from 2014-2018 rate increases will remain high through 20182022 as more wind and solar comes on line. How is Wynne selling off 60 per cent of Hydro 0ne and retaining 40 per cent when

the Liberals are giving each OPG worker Hydro One shares equivalent to 2.75 per cent of their salaries every year for 15 years; Hydro One employees will get shares equivalent to 2.7 per cent of their salaries annually for 12 years the key words are she is giving them (to stay quiet). From the 60-per-cent sale of Hydro One she says will bring in $9 billion but as stated above the ratepayer is investing 87 billion plus ( fire sale ) Also she is not selling 60 per cent as stated above so what

will be the return if the ratepayer holds 40 per cent? Then she states $5 billion will go back into hydro roughly the amount OPG and Hydro One are short in their pension fund.

The popularity of these nine writers is no mystery

The nine mystery authors who generously took part in the library fundraiser last week at Books & Company are some of the best in Canada. In celebration of their writing, and for those of you who may have missed them at the event, we offer a look at their latest novels in this week’s column and next. Steve Burrows is both a writer and a birder, so it follows that his books would be called The Birder Murder Mysteries. His newest whodunit, A Pitying of Doves, asks the question, “Why would a killer ignore expensive jewelry and take a pair of turtledoves as the only bounty?” As explained on Burrows’s web site, “ This is only one of the questions that piques Domenic Jejeune's interest when an attache with the Mexican consulate is found murdered alongside the director of a bird sanctuary. The fact that the director's death has opened up a

INSIDE THE LIBRARY Christine Renaud

full-time research position studying birds hasn't eluded Jejeune, either. Could this be the escape from policing that the celebrated detective has been seeking? Even if it is, Jejeune knows he owes it to the victims to solve the case first. But a trail that weaves from embittered aviary owners

to suspicious bird sculptors seems only to be leading him further from the truth.” Another author at last Thursday’s event makes his home in the County. J.D. Carpenter will have a new novel within a year, fittingly called The County Murders. It is set in the fictional town of Seabrook, though readers will recognize much of our local landscape and villages in this mystery that centres on the murder of a winemaker. Until the new novel arrives, readers can delve into Carpenter’s Twelve Trees, the last in the Campbell Young mysteries that Quill and Quire praised as “smartly handled” and “impressively done”. Exracetrack journalist Priam Harvey, who appeared in the previous three of the author’s novels, takes the lead in Twelve Trees. This time, Harvey is forced to make a monumental decision about his life and his

involvement in the lives of those around him. Vicki Delany, the mastermind behind last week’s library fundraiser, has recently had her first book published under the pen name Eva Gates. As she explains on her web site, vickidelany.com, “I’ve gone over to the light side! I have two three-book contracts from Penguin (one for Obsidian and one for Berkeley Prime Crime) to write a cozy series. This is a big step for me, and something very different for my readers.” This first book in the Lighthouse Library Series, By Book or by Crook, is set in a library in a lighthouse and involves the theft of a priceless first edition Jane Austen novel and the murder of the library board’s chair. Barbara Fradkin’s latest mystery None so Blind, which was recently nominated for the 2015 Arthur Ellis Award for Best Novel,

is part of her popular Inspector Green series. The story centres on a troubling question for Green: “Did the inspector put the wrong man behind bars twenty years ago?” Shortly after the man he convicted is paroled, he is found dead. Was it suicide or murder? In determining the truth, Green is forced to re-examine the case and may unearth a far greater evil than he had first imagined. In next week’s library column, the much anticipated novel by Janet Kellough will be highlighted as well as those of Hilary MacLeod, D.J. McIntosh, Mary Jane Maffini and Andrew Pyper. Final tabulations from the library fundraiser will also be reported. All novels by the authors who took part in “In the Library with a Penknife” are available at your public library.

Bluegrass celebration attracts fans to nearly forgotten musical genre Quinte’s Isle to host 10 top bands May 28-31 as part of growing festival ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

In its seventh year, it’s still all about the music at the Quinte’s Isle Bluegrass Celebration. What started as a gathering of bands looking to have a good time sharing their sound on a beautiful stretch of beach has grown steadily into an event that draws hundreds each year. “We’re just getting started,� said organizer Melissa Sherman. “We’re up 40 trailers this year. There will be more than 200 up next Thursday night — and that’s usually at least two people per trailer and that doesn’t include the local foot traffic. We’ve been growing about 50-60 trailers a year.� Sherman said the May 2831 event, which is hosted by local band Hard Ryde, aims to excite a broader audience in a generational style of music that seems to be dying in Canada. “Our demographic is 6080 here,� she said. “In the States, it’s alive and well with younger crowds but in Canada it’s dying. We want to build a profile and get children involved in the music.� Sherman said most Canadians can relate to bluegrass, whether they’ve played it or not, as many can point to a relative who

has picked up a fiddle or strummed a banjo. Here, on the beach at Quinte’s Isle Campark, people of all ages can tap their toes to a tune or perhaps, if they’re

adventurous, they can even walk up on stage and see what all the fuss is about. “Bluegrass people are great,� she said. “Kids can walk up and pull a string. Everyone loves having children around and sharing the music.� Sherman said the celebration doesn’t have a set program for children — most

spend their time dancing on the beach and in and out of the water — but if there’s enough interest, they will often pull together an impromptu workshop to get them involved. Some years, she said they’ve tried something they call a “petting zoo� where they rope off instruments and make them available for playing.

Of course, to get a good appreciation of bluegrass music, one can simply listen to it — and there are few finer examples in Ontario than the weekend in the county. Emcee Bill MacDonald has 10 prominent acts to introduce from across Ontario and Quebec this year. Sherman says Montrealbased Notre Dam de Grass will be a strong addition in their first year here, while audiences will also be able to enjoy the award-winning Hard Ryde, Spencerville’s County Road 44, Ottawa’s Concession 23, Orillia’s The

Griddle Pickers, Waterloo’s Rescue Junction, Ottawa’s Maple Hill, Alderville First Nation-based SweetGrass, and Hamilton’s Rhyme N Reason. “It’s a really good representation, this year, of what Ontario has to offer,� Sherman said. The festival also has a good lineup of local vendors this year and, once again, it will be raising funds to help the Loyalist Humane Society in Picton. Sherman is hoping with the talent available and those ties, interest will grow among local fans. County FM will help that effort by handing out 99 passes for Sunday’s show. “We’re hoping we’ll get some local people here and maybe if they see what happens in one day, they’ll want to come and spent a whole weekend with us next year,� said Sherman. She indicated that with the event contained within the Quinte’s Isle Campark it’s been difficult to get local people involved, both as audiences and supporters, but says those who come into the county typically do give a lot back while they’re here. “They come early and they stay the week. We always give out grab bags with brochures and many of them do venture out within the county and see what’s out there,� she said. The schedule for the rainor-shine celebration is available online at quintebluegrass.com. Weekend passes including rough camping are available for $75 for Friday to Sunday or $65 for seniors at the gate. Juniors aged 13-17 are $50 and children 12 and under accompanied by adults are free. Day passes go for $10 for Friday, $25 for Saturday or $15 for Saturday after 7 p.m. Sunday passes are also $15. Day passes for children are also free. Lawn chairs are recommended.

County prepares to open tenders for planned Picton fire hall New building would house paramedics, fire service in industrial park CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

Plans for a new Picton fire station took another step forward last week. Committee of the whole approved a motion directing staff to proceed with the tendering process for the new facility upon receipt of a Class A estimate. The motion specifies that the tender award will be subject to council approval. If the committee motion is approved by council at their next meeting, staff will proceed with the tender process and the results of the

tender will be presented to council at the regularly scheduled committee-ofthe-whole meeting on Aug. 13 with the contract to be awarded at the regularly scheduled council meeting of Aug. 25. The proposed six-bay 1,608-square-metre building would bring County fire and paramedic services under one roof with the fire service utilizing four double bays and the paramedics two double bays. A Class B estimate for the facility was received by the County on May 6 with costs pegged at $5,082,920. The tendered cost for the recently constructed Consecon fire station came in at about 21 per cent less then the Class B estimate for that facility. The building would

replace the current Picton station at Picton Town Hall which houses five full-time firefighters, four administrative staff, and 16 volunteers. It would also replace the Heights station. Councillor Bill Roberts expressed support for the new fire station. “It's taken council five years — half a decade — to get to this point and I think the objective reality is that public safety pretty much trumps any other considerations here — or at least it should,” he said. Roberts also noted the deficiencies of the current station, which is a heritage property built in the 1800s. “Our fire hall doesn't have doors that are big enough to get trucks in and out of, the building doesn't have proper accessibility

standards, and since at least 2012 council has realized the fire hall itself has fire code and building code issues,” he said. “I don't know what would go into thinking we shouldn't be doing this because it just seems so clear.” Roberts also indicated there was growing interest from the development community regarding the future of the current Picton fire station. A report prepared by fire chief Scott Manlow presented to councillors at the meeting says the current Picton hall “can no longer sustain the requirements of a functioning fire station.” “The garage door openings are too small and cannot be altered to accommodate current model trucks which are larger in size,” the

would like to know the numbers of where that came in.” Corporate services and finance commissioner Susan Turnbull said comparing the two sites was like comparing apples to oranges. She said there were issues with the initial footings of the Consecon building because the exact dimensions of a former landfill at the site weren't fully known. Turnbull said that won't be an issue for the Picton facility which is to be located at the Picton industrial park. “We were building on something where we weren't sure, this site is totally different,” she said. Turnbull again noted the Consecon project came in at over 20 per cent under budget.

Councillor David Harrison repeatedly questioned costs associated with the construction of the new Consecon fire station. He noted unplanned costs that cropped up during that project and sought to find the full extent. “It would be helpful to have that in making this decision when we go to tender,” he said. “We're spending a lot of money here and I

Growing tomatoes, cucumbers, and sweet potatoes in your garden

In last week’s column I touched on the topic of growing food particularly focusing on those seeds that can be planted before all prospects of frost have passed. I had included beans that do need to wait until frosts are over and the soil has warmed up. As well I discussed some of the vegetables that need to wait for the warmer days in June. Well June is getting closer, but the warmer weather particularly at night is not yet here. This week I am going to discuss three warm weather vegetables but proceeding with any of them outside your house or greenhouse will have to wait. Possibly the most frequently home-grown vegetable is the tomato. Whether you grow large crops of various sizes, shapes and colours or a few in pots, they all have needs in common. They prefer warm weather in the 20s, so the cold evenings in May and also in September do not promote good growth and may even seriously damage the plants. If you grow you own seedlings or buy small plants while it is still cool, tomatoes thrive in being transplanted more deeply each time. Even if you just

transplant them once, into your garden, plant them deep enough to cover the bottom pair of leaves. Use a big hole, line with newspaper, add the best soil you have along with a dash of Epsom salts and some well composted manure. Cutworms are a serious menace in the first weeks. Cut a toilet paper roll down one side and then divide it in quarters width wise. Wrap these a little out from the stem, sticking it firmly into the soil and making sure that the ends overlap. I read recently that a tooth-

Wind and solar developers planning projects in Prince Edward County may see their development costs increase. Council approved a motion last week directing staff to amend the development charge bylaw to introduce a development charge on industrial wind turbine energy projects and solar projects. The cost of the process to make the change is not to exceed $5,000. A report presented to

council at their meeting on May 12 says adding a charge for the projects requires a formal amendment to the bylaw and the requirements of the Development Charges Act must be followed. A statutory public meeting must be advertised 20 days prior to the public meeting date and a development charge background study must be issued two weeks prior to the public meeting.

pick on two sides works as well but have not tried it yet. If you have the space it is preferable to plant them in a different areas every year and you must move them if the plants had health issues in the previous year. Water them early in the day so they can dry out and try to water under the leaves as well to prevent fungal infections. Tomatoes are of two growth types, determinate and indeterminate. The former grows to a limited size and can be used in pots and needs little pruning except for the occasional wayward sucker. The latter continues to grow throughout the season and needs to be pruned all season. A large strong cage is helpful and I usually stake mine on two sides as well. Cucumbers may look rather bland but they are rich in vitamins and electrolytes. I grow the English type with edible skin, or perhaps it would be better to say easily eaten skin. I prefer to grow them on a trellis or tripod type structure. These help me to locate mine before they are so large they are inedible. Growing them in this manner is said to increase the yield. Picking them from 15 to 20 cm long yields a less seedy tastier product and regular picking

increases the yield. Again the temperatures should be in the twenties during the day and no lower than fifteen at night before they are planted outside. If they are getting large before it is warm enough to transplant them, you could use a chop stick to start them growing upward so it is easier to attach them to a trellis if you plan to use one. Unlike tomatoes they do not like being transplanted so handle them with care during this process. They also do prefer a rich soil so well composted manure should be worked into their beds before planting. They can become bitter if there is not sufficient water so water well in times of drought. Some types tend to be bitter free and seed packets or plant tags should contain that information. I grew sweet potatoes for the first time last year and they were a very cooperative crop to grow. So much so, that I am a little nervous doing it again this year with twice the seedlings. What if it was simply beginners luck! The slips arrived with clear instructions and I had a well-weeded bed waiting for them. Given that I use nothing but a variety of raised beds I made sure that

I had filled the bed to within a few inches from the top of the board so the roots would not end up embedded in the limestone rock and bedrock mixture underneath. Fortunately they do not need as much soil as potatoes as they largely grow outwards in a vine position. After the slips arrive they should be kept either in water or a moist seeding mixture for a week to help develop roots before being planted. They are then planted under black plastic as it helps retain the heat they need to develop well. It also prevents the growth of weeds, an added bonus. Cut a small slash or puncture a hole with a trowel to allow the base of the slip to be planted about 5 cm deep. As well space them about 40 cm apart, and further apart if they are not in a raised bed. Not only did every slip of mine take after an anxious week of waiting but I ended up with three extras. Other than watering liberally during dry periods no other labour was required until the first frost. They should be harvested immediately after a frost, so at times it may be more convenient to harvest them earlier. The cold weather before a frost actually improves the

flavour. If it is a warm sunny day they can be left outside for the day otherwise bring them indoors for curing after harvesting. The only area in which I did not follow exact directions caused problems. It was suggested that they should be placed in a very warm room kept at about 35 C for about a week for curing. The room I kept them in was considerably cooler and they did not last long in storage before becoming soft so I cooked them more quickly than I had planned to. They were delicious nonetheless. After curing they can be stored in a cooler space in the range of 15 to 20 C.

Council opposes proposed Hydro One sale Handgun seized in warrant execution

Council approved a motion last week opposing the provincial government's proposal to privatize Hydro One. The motion calls on the province to stop the sale of any part of Hydro One and maintain the corporation as a wholly public asset for the benefit of Ontarians. It calls for the province to strengthen Hydro One by investing in the next generation of workers and upgrading

aging infrastructure and to respect the autonomy of local decision-making powers of local distribution companies by not forcing the companies into mergers or sales. The resolution will be circulated to the Association on Municipalities of Ontario and the Electricity Distributors Association. The motion's preamble argues the electricity is a

critical asset to the economy that generates significant revenue for municipal and provincial governments and gives Ontario a competitive advantage. It says Hydro One is profitable and wellrun and local decision making is important to meet the needs of communities and residents.

Police raided a Spring Street residence in Picton, May 12, seizing prohibited items. In a co-operative effort the Organized Crime Enforcement Bureau, the Drug Enforcement Unit, the Provincial Weapons Enforcement Unit, the OPP Tactics and Rescue Unit, Emergency Response Team, canine unit, and officers from the Prince -Chad Ibbotson, Edward OPP detachment Staff entered the home to execute a

SERVICE WITH A SMILE Vicki Emlaw shows off some of the popular varieties of heirloom toma-

toes that were available at Vicki’s Veggies annual seedling sale this past weekend at the farm on Morrison Point Road.(Jason Parks/Gazette staff)

Vicki’s sells more than 5,000 seedlings Tomato growers flock to Morrison Point Road for 170 heritage varieties JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER

If there is an enemy of the ordinary when it comes to the agriculture scene in Prince Edward County, it has a home on Morrison Point Road. Vicki's Veggies hosted their annual seedling sale this past weekend, drawing thousands of supporters from all over eastern Ontario to the tiny vegetable farm in Black River. In all, between 5-6,000 tiny tomato plants were off to find new homes between Toronto and Ottawa.

Proprietor Vicki Emlaw confirmed over 170 varieties of tomato were available for purchase along with other transplantable vegetables like peppers, eggplants and a selection of herbs. At last year's Labour Day Heirloom Hurrah we had sign up sheets for people because they will taste test tomatoes and come back next spring and ask 'Do you remember the yellow tomato I liked so much' We only have about 50 varieties of yellow tomatoes,” Emlaw laughed. “This way, customers can be matched

and we can have their varieties ready for them.” Vicki's Veggies specializes in hard-to-get and long forgotten varieties of produce and that strikes a chord with consumers who are looking for more than whats offered at a local super market. Over a dozen local vendors including the Pink Lunch Pail, Nyman Farms and Cressy Mustard were also on hand offering hand made goods. Emlaw said she will continue to sell seedlings at the farm until the end of planting season at the end of May.

There will be some significant Prince Edward County content in an upcoming motion picture that is slated to star Dermot Mulroney and Abbie Cornish. Local author Colin Frizzell has developed and co-written a screenplay that will be the basis of a psychological thriller entitled Lavender. Cornish will play a photographer struggling with severe memory loss. Strange clues among her photos begin to suggest that she may be responsible for the deaths of family members she never knew she had. Frizzell started penning the screenplay some 15 years ago, getting the grain of an idea while studying film at Humber College in Toronto and developing the outline while working on the Irish film Divorcing Jack. Frizzell has written several youth novels that have been adapted into different languages and most recently complied and edited a series of love letters written between his late father and mother entitled So Little Time. Frizzell told the Gazette it was “surreal” to see something he's tinkered with for

nearly two decades finally gain a public audience. “(Lavender) has been optioned a few times and it's been shown around but the people who really liked it from the start never gave up on it,” Frizzell said. One of those that liked Frizzell's original work was director and producer Ed Gass Donnelly and, after trading drafts back and forth and several rewrites, Lavender is expected to start shooting in Pickering on May 28. “I've seen his previous films and I have a lot of faith in him,” Frizzell said. “I think it's going to be wonderful and I like the actors attached.” Frizzell said he has learned

a great deal about screenplay writing and finds it a more collaborative process than writing novels. “When you are working on a feature, in the beginning it's still you but you workshop it and you test with your friends to hear it out loud because just because it works on the page doesn't mean it works off the page,” he explained. “When it comes to novel writing, it's you and you and the editor.” Frizzell will be on set for some of the shooting which is expected to last just 24 days. The film will be marketed to studio executives later this summer at the Cannes Film Festival in France.

The Picton Gazette Mission: To facilitate the participation of people with disabilities in the life of the community and its economy.

May is Community Living Month

Vision: That all persons live in a state of dignity, share in all elements of living in the community and have opportunity to participate effectively.

Community Living Month is a provincial wide celebration of inclusion. Community Living Prince Edward (CLPE) is an organization located in Prince Edward County providing a wide range of supports and services to over 350 children, teens, adults, seniors and their families. We promote an inclusive and welcoming community where everyone is valued, respected and belongs.

Throughout the month of May we are celebrating Inclusion, Equality and Belonging. In addition, this year is of particular importance to Community Living Prince Edward as they celebrate 50 years of service in their community. The organization has continued to grow and develop in response to the wishes, goals and desires of people they support.

Our History Begins with Families….

It all began in 1965 when parents and friends rejected traditional methods of segregation and ensured a life of dignity in the community for their sons and daughters. 50 years ago founding members worked together to form the association in Prince Edward County. Today, Community Living Prince Edward is firmly established in the community, and is a part of a federation of over 100 Community Living organizations across Ontario with a total membership of over 10,000 citizens. Pictured to the left: two of the founding members, Phyllis Sibthorpe and Marilyn Cooper were on hand during the Mayor’s Breakfast to launch May as a month long celebration of inclusion.

site YouTube. “That's why I put it to IT to give us some options because those are the differences that may have an effect on (costs),” said Epstein. Councillor Bill Roberts supported the motion. “If we can get additional transparency at low cost then it's well worth exploring,” he said. Corporate services and finance commissioner Susan Turnbull said there are plenty of options and a preferred option could be moved forward into budget deliberations. “Council can make a choice on those options and the preferred option could come forward in the budget and we can choose then whether it still stays in with all the other pressing needs that you might have in budget 2016,” she said. While he supported the idea, councillor Roy Pennell cautioned that council has to be sure the service would actually be used by residents. “I know myself I've listened to the Ontario legislature and quite often you listen to it once and never turn it back on,” he said. “Certainly some of the other local municipalities are in the same thing — are they getting value for their money — and they have serious doubts whether there's enough people who even take that interest.”

Engaged residents ask proactive questions about their own care HEALTH, from page 3

SE CCAC communications manager Gary Buffett was also on site. He said the day went well and appreciated the proactive approach some people were taking with respect to their own health care. “There was some interest in long-term care homes and how to access services like that,” he said. Buffett said there is a realization services the CCAC

manages, like home care and long-term care, have an important place in the health-care system and in transitioning people successfully from hospital care.Whether they live in a nursing facility or their own home, many services can be offered. “It’s where people want to be,” he said. “Hospitals are the right place for people who are very sick, but if they are not, they should be cared for at home.”

Panthers add two more lopsided wins PECI’s Norton, Blakeley

golden at Bay of Quinte track and field finals

PECI tries to stay grounded for playoffs after outscoring foes 63-1 during season

Sprinter wins pair of races, while javelin thrower edges teammate for junior crown

ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

Through the five-game Bay of Quinte Conference regular season, the PECI Baseball Panthers have had few worries. The Panthers finished the season unbeaten by reeling off lopsided wins 13-0 over Moira in Wellington Thursday and 16-0 over Centre Hastings in Melrose Tuesday. With those games calculated, their stat line for the year reads 63 runs for and one run against. It’d be easy for the team to fall into a false sense of security as it heads into the playoffs Monday, but coach Matt Ronan admitted he is a bit concerned about just how easy the year has been. “It’s nice to be successful but we have yet to be challenged,” he said. “If we face a little bit of a crisis how do we respond?” The coach says he knows his team has faced good pitchers like Centennial’s Ben Popovich and some of the throwers they saw when they were in Pennsylvania. He also knows the club has proven leadership at the ready for a battle. “We’ve got five seniors — Kyle Gould, Bob Wilson, Andrew Dayton, Phil Seguin, and Jordan Strachan who have played at OFSAA,” he said. “They know what it’s like and we’re counting on their leadership to pull us through.” The Panthers have also tried to make challenges for themselves.Those arriving late to the Moira game Thursday might have been surprised to see the visitors with the bases loaded on Gould in the top of the first — all unearned base runners. The Panthers got out of that situation, but what might not have been visible to the untrained eye is the leading side was instructing its pitchers to throw more

than 50 per cent of secondary and tertiary pitches — often off-speed and breaking stuff — to ensure they were used to throwing those pitches for later in the year. The Panthers have spent considerable time trying aggressive base running that they might not otherwise use with large leads to test themselves and they’ve put on several shifts in the field. “We’re working hard and we’re doing the things we need to do to get better,” said Ronan. “We’ve got our own homework we’re accomplishing because the

boys have a goal in mind.” He hopes that determination will force the Panthers to not let their guard down to look past St. Theresa Monday afternoon, despite their hopes and their status as favourites to win the league and move on to another OFSAA berth. Against Moira, pitchers Gould, Andrew Dayton, and Max Manlow combined for a no-hit effort. Offensively, Gavin Ronan went two-for-two and batted in three runs. Matt Dobson was two-for-three with a double and two runs batted

in. Phil Seguin scored twice, while Jordan Strachan hit a triple. Against Centre Hastings, Dayton threw four innings of one-hit ball with six strikeouts. Dan Seguin came on in relief and struck out all three batters he faced. Strachan continued with his hot bat, belting two more triples to cash in three runners. Kevin Wilson and Max Manlow each knocked in a pair of runs. Phil Seguin was a perfect two-for-two at bat. Monday’s semi-final competition will start at 4 p.m. in Wellington.

While PECI has had better podium days at the Bay of Quinte Track and Field Championships (in 2012 PECI produced nine gold medals), local secondary school student athletes had a very productive day at Mary Ann Sills park Wednesday. A total of 22 students are moving on to the Central Ontario championships today in Belleville by virtue of their top eight finishes. Overall, PECI track coach Beth Bell was happy with the results. “We had some fantastic performances from some first year Panthers and our veterans also had great times and distances,” Bell said. “On the whole, it was a very good day for PECI.” To no one’s surprise, PECI's Cole Norton was the gold standard in sprinting, winning both the 100 m (11:.6) and 200 m (22.28) in the senior boys division. “He had very solid times and he knows he needs to keep improving as the competition gets stiffer,” Bell added. The other gold medal on the day came in the junior boys javelin where, on his final throw of the competition, Tristan Blakeley nipped teammate Aiden Wallwork with a toss of 41.15 m. Wallwork had to settle for silver with a distance of 40.88 m. Panthers were dotted all over the results sheet for that discipline as Noah McConnell (29.52 m, 5th) and Andrew Ward (36.54 m, 6th) all qualified for COSSA today. “That's a great outing by that group and that speaks to coach Bob Bell and his efforts in preparing those junior boys throwers,” Bell added. A pair of midget throwers also had multiple podium

COLE NORTON

finishes. Midget thrower Sarah Young had a pair of silver medals in shot put (8.50 m) and discus (21.12 m) and a bronze in javelin (18.20 m). On the male side of the Grade 9 ledger, Ben Clarke was second in shot put (11 m) and javelin (35.08 m) and third in discus (29.44 m). “Making it on in three different events is a great accomplishment and those grade nine athletes are going to need to elevate their games (today) as the Kawartha-Pine Ridge schools are really good throwing schools,” Bell added. The news wasn't all good for PECI as junior sprinter Kenneil Warren was scratched for the season due to leg issues. “It started with knee and calf soreness and then his quad started to bother him so it was decided he needed to scratch this season and work on getting feeling better,” Bell explained. PECI athletes will be hoping to crack the top five today to earn a birth into the East Regionals slated to take place next week in Brockville. The top four from that meet qualify for the Ontario championships the following week in Toronto.

Terroir Run delivering fun experiences, economic impact in its fifth year About 100 runners expected in Hillier Saturday to run and to savour local cuisine ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

When they started the Terroir Run, Andrew Mackenzie and Rebecca LeHeup envisioned it simply as a fun sideline for those attending Terroir, a festival showcasing local wine and cuisine. Now, five years later, the

event continues to operate and it has become a destination and an economic driver in its own right. Each year, about 100 people register to take part in the run through Hillier wine country passing 10 wineries from The Old Third to the Norman Hardie Win-

ery and Vineyard. “When the Terroir Run was launched with a birdbanger on the grounds of the Old Third Winery in 2011, no one expected it would be more than a love-in for those with a passion for running, wine and local food,” the Ontario Culinary Tourism

Alliance executive director LeHeup said. She added now it brings tens of thousands of dollars each run weekend and many runners look for it as a rite of spring. The impact has been so great, Mackenzie told the Gazette, that other wine regions like Niagara, the Okanagan Valley, and New York’s Finger Lakes region have contacted them to see if the event might expand beyond its county roots. Major athletic companies are also talking sponsorship. Through its marketing efforts, LeHeup said Terroir Run has been encouraging participants to do more than just run while they’re here. “Over the past few years, we’ve redesigned the run to encourage participants to linger longer and spend more. Now our average runner is staying one overnight and eating five meals in the community. That’s not to mention gas, shopping, and discretionary splurges.” This year’s run will again wind down the 11-kilometre path fronting Closson Chase, Broken Stone, Lacey Estates, The Grange of Prince Edward, Hinterland, Trail Estate, and Rose Hall Run. The County Cider Company and McKinnon Brothers Brewing Company are offering lead and follow cars this year. There will be a special musical water station at Karlo Estates where participants can listen to local favourite DJ Ombudsman (Hri Neil). Five dollars from each ticket will go to the Quinte Humane Society memory of Richard Karlo, who was a big proponent of the run and of the culinary community in the county. As in past years, another $5 will be contributed to Slow Food The County. Also new this year, there will be an optional carb-loading dinner with local wine

pairings at the Drake Devonshire Inn tomorrow night. Of course, a highlight of this run is its food. At the conclusion, participants receive a lunch with pizza from Hardie’s brick-fired ovens, Humble Bread, Pluck Teas, and salads created by Cynthia Peters of the From The Farm Cooking School. “Most runs end with a stale bagel and banana in an asphalt parking lot,” Mackenzie said. “Ours with lunch, prizes, and camaraderie in the vineyards of Hiller. No wonder the run, which we’ve kept a county secret, has grown more popular each year. The Google Canada staffer who started Buddha Dog says the run is a reflection of the community he and LeHeup are pleased to call their home. “Prince Edward County is a hotbed of creativity and entrepreneurship that has made it not only an ideal

tourism destination, but has inspired a wave of urbanites to relocate and bring their own energy to the community. The Terroir run is a small example of this.” Mackenzie thanked the run’s loyal participants, volunteers, and partners who have made the run a successful venture. Runners will be arriving at the start of the course between 8 and 8:45 a.m. to register for the rain-or-shine event. A Sandbanks Vacations shuttle will also be running from Norman Hardie Winery to The Old Third between 7:30 and 8:30 a.m. to allow participants to park their vehicles at the finish line. Last-minute registration for the run is still available at www.terroirrun.com. The cost is $100. Tickets are also available at that site for the postrun lunch at a cost of $28.25 per person.

MEMORIAM

COURNEYEA- In loving memory of our beloved son and brother Randy, who passed away May 22nd, 1999. He came to us with happiness A handsome little guy We loved you as a baby We loved you as a boy We loved you as a man, That too soon you became. Your sisters loved you dearly And you loved them in return We never really knew What the years ahead would bring. Then one sunny afternoon God took you up with Him And left us here with broken hearts We knew would never mend. We know you’re happy up there now With your sister by your side. Someday we know we all will meet again. And all our hearts will be free of all our pain. Loved forever Mom, Dad, Sue, Ron, Lori and Ricky.

Foundation alive with The Sound of Music Wellington artists host tour this weekend 50th anniversary screening of famous musical to benefit PECMH Lime-green bicycles mark studio sites In 1965, The Sound of Music Care, a California-based brought life to the hills. This year, it may bring some new life to the hospital. The Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation has managed to secure a 50th anniversary showing of the classic film featuring the musical von Trapp family and their escape from Nazi rule at the Regent Theatre with the help of three generous sponsors. Dr. Doug Cleminson stepped forward as the theatre sponsor on behalf of the hospital’s endoscopy department; Joanne Coker of BMO Wealth Management will be the media sponsor, and The Waring House will be the door-prize sponsor for the June 24 screening. The foundation has also been fortunate to receive a commitment from one of the actors from the movie, Heather Menzies Urich, to attend that evening. Menzies Urich played the third child, Louisa, will make an appearance and provide some insight into the film. “I’m really excited to be part of this 50th anniversary showing of The Sound of Music right here in my own

community,’ said Menzies Urich. “I’m delighted to be supporting our hospital.” Menzies Urich maintains a summer home in the county, which she shared with her husband, actor Robert Urich and her three children. A familiar face in the community, Robert lost his battle with cancer in 2002. Before he died, however, the couple set up the Robert and Heather Urich Fund for Sarcoma Research at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Care Centre. Menzies Urich also battled ovarian cancer herself and she continues to work for the Michigan centre and for The Robert Urich Foundation For Cancer Research and Patient

Let your feet do the walking…

The labyrinth is laid out on the St. Andrew’s Picton property in sticks and string. I’ve been walking it almost daily. I suspect that it sounds spooky to some folk. It’s not really. It’s simple, really simple. I think of it as a tool for meditation, a way to make space in my head for wisdom and guidance that is always in me (because if we are one with God then the wisdom isn’t necessarily OUT THERE…but within us if we’ll only take the time to listen). Last Saturday afternoon I entered the labyrinth thinking about a sermon Rev. Lynne Donovan for Sunday. I knew the theme. It had to do with walking the walk. That’s what the book of James is about: Don’t tell me what you believe. Show me how you live. Tell me about how you co-exist with your neighbour. Speak to me about how you relate to the poor. That’s what matters. Are you walking the walk? And then I thought about how walking with people is so vital and is really the antidote to helplessness. We can’t fix cancer. We can’t reverse the ravages of aging. We can’t bring back the dead and lift the weight of grief off of another. But we can walk with one another. It’s like that line from a favorite hymn that goes, “We are here to help each other walk the mile and share the load.” At St. Andrew’s we take “walking the walk” very seriously. We walk with families in need of extra support through our Reaching for Rainbows program. We walk with artisans in the developing world through the Ten Thousand Villages project. We are grateful to all our volunteers and community partners who have walked with us to make these projects successful. And now we are inviting you to join us in walking the labyrinth. We are waiting for the rock to arrive and welcome the community’s participation in the next step that will involve placing the rock in the ground. We will provide a small workshop for those who would like to be part of the team. For further information on the labyrinth project contact me at 613-476-1167 or rev.lynne@sympatico.ca or see our website at www.standrewspicton.com. Rev. Lynne Donovan is the minister at

foundation she established after his death. The evening will support the foundation’s $350,000 Life Saver Campaign with a funds going to purchase priority equipment such as a chemical analyzer, blood analyzer, defibrillators, an electrocardiogram machine, scopes, and vital signs monitors. In particular, over $205,000 is needed to replace equipment in the hospital’s thriving day-surgery program. Cleminson said investment is required to sustain the endoscopy department. “We have a very active endoscopy program and you need the proper equipment to keep that going,” he said. “The current equipment needs to be addressed if we are to sustain the day-to-day operations of our hospital, by providing the medical staff with the proper tools to serve our patients and provide the level of care they deserve and respect.” The idea for the screening actually came from within the department as nurse Delores Chalmers put forward the idea to contact Menzies Urich. Tickets are available for $20 at Books & Company, Pierson’s Foodland, and Printcraft or from the foundation office.They may be reserved by calling 613-476-1008 ext. 4425 or e-mailing bboyce@qhc.ca.

While the Rotary Lilac Ride will bring extra traffic to county roads this Sunday, a group of Wellington artists is hoping a different group of bicycles will draw interest. The artists will be rolling out lime green bicycles in front of their studios to guide visitors as part of the inaugural Wellington Spring Arts Tour this weekend. Potter David Down discovered a stash of worn-out bicycles and decided he wanted to do something distinctive with them, so he painted them bright green and collaborated with some of his neighbouring artists to create the tour. Tour spokesperson Betty Zyvatkauskas said the close proximity of the artists within the village allows for a special kind of attraction. “All the studios are within an easy one-kilometre walk, so visitors can park their cars and enjoy a day strolling tree-shaded historic streets,” she said. “In between studio visits, they can explore local bistros and cafes, discover Wellington’s Lake Ontario beach, and admire the view of the famed Sandbanks Provincial Park.” While on the tour, visitors can see glassblower Mark Armstrong work over an open flame to create beauti-Staff ful bright pieces from seem-

Ministry expects Skyway Bridge rehabilitation work could go to tender by 2018 PIPELINE, from page 2

Union secured the land it needed on the south side of the bridge to move forward with the project. No one sought intervenor status with the OEB about the application, which Union filed Dec. 1, 2014 and it received no letters of comment. Ultimately, it found the evidence presented supports the need for the pipeline and related facilities, and there was no superior alternative available. Stass indicated construction is slated to begin next month and it is anticipated it will take 25 weeks to complete, with clean-up to occur by the end of November, weather permitting. She indicated access to homes and businesses will be maintained at all time, though there may be some interference with traffic on Hwy 49, which Union Gas and LinkLine will seek to minimize

wherever possible. Some noise from the construction activities is anticipated, however, work will be scheduled during daylight hours from Monday to Saturday when practical and all construction equipment will have appropriate noise reduction in place. Residents with concerns about the construction are invited to contact Union Gas onsite lead inspector Steve Cutler at 1519-809-8664 or project engineer Ahmed Al-Amry at 1226-229-9548. Union Gas will be required to provide the OEB interim and final monitoring reports, detailing the impacts of construction and a log of complaints received and actions taken in response. Stass said the increased capacity of the new pipeline may assist with growth in this community by allowing Union Gas to move an additional supply of natural gas

into the county to allow for more smaller service connections to connect to the existing distribution system. As for the rehabilitation of the bride itself, MTO’s east region communications manager Brandy Duhaime says there is no set date for the construction to begin. “The Southern Highways Program (2014-2018) lists the Bay of Quinte Skyway Bridge rehabilitation project in the 2016-2018 timeframe,” she said. “It is anticipated the project will be tendered later in the timeframe, subject to obtaining environmental approvals and the availability of funding.” Duhaime noted the bridge was constructed in 1967 and it is in need of repairs. “The ministry is planning to replace both the concrete deck and the girders once the project is approved,” she said.

Before the bridge work can go forward, Duhaime said there would be an environmental assessment process and a planning study to asses the options and seek public input. As with any bridge proj-

ect, Duhaime said it would be realistic to expect closures and delays. She indicated the extent of those impacts would be determined through the environmental assessment process. Duhaime also stressed

that any work to rehabilitate the bridge would be part of a separate project than Hwy 49 roadwork to be completed between the bridge and Hwy 401, which is now scheduled to be tendered by the ministry.

Join Ontario’s farm and food communities for the celebration Celebrating Local Food Week June 1-7, 2015

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

Hooded warbler among spring sightings Observatory busy with spring festival banding operations, guided hikes

remember fight back

JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER

One the busiest migratory bird routes in all of North America is open to guests this week as the Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory continues its annual Spring Birding Festival. The seven-day event with workshops, tours, guided hikes and classes scheduled at various places in Prince Edward wraps up this weekend. Scores of people flocked to the Long Point area this past weekend to view several different dozens of species of birds including the popular warblers which come in a variety of colours. Station manager and bander-in-charge David Okines said the elusive hooded warbler had even made an appearance. “We usually get about two or three hooded warblers stopping by once every spring,” Okines told the Gazette Sunday. “They are a species at risk so it's a treat when ever we see one.” In total, volunteers will band about 5,000 birds this spring and 6-7,000 in the fall. Of the 250 different species of birds that fly over southern Prince Edward County during their migration, Okines and the team will band about 105 of those types. “We are definitely coming into our busiest time of season,” he explained. “A number of these birds are heading to the southern tips of the boreal forest including the 33 or 34 species of warbler and those are the most popular birds that people want to come and see.” As the festivals winds up this weekend, there will be a number of guided hikes around the eastern end of the Prince Edward Point Natural Wildlife Area on Saturday and Sunday as well as a shore birds work-

Family pastured livestock at south-shore site To book space contact: RESERVE, from page 1

Martin Miller said the Miller family was thrilled the lands were going to be protected. “It's great that we can turn it over to the HPELT and it's always going to be looked after,” Miller told the Gazette. “It will never turn into a windmill or solar farm. It's not land that can be farmed by traditional agriculture but it will always be looked after and we appreciate where it's going.” There were emotions for the family and it was perhaps fitting the ceremony took place on the Victoria Day weekend given the past historical use of the lands. “We usually pastured between 80-100 head of livestock here and we would

bring them down on the May long weekend and they didn't come home until just before Halloween” Miller explained. “We would come down every Sunday and just check on them.” He added with a laugh that he and most of his family could likely walk every foot of the property and never get lost. “And the name stays attached to (the land) and it will always be here and that gives you a nice feeling.” The bronze plaque indicates the property is dedicated in the memory of Cecil Lee Miller and his wife Nina May Walker who were described as a quiet, industrious and unpretentious couple remembered fondly by family and neighbours.

Thank-yous are extended by the family to the Land Trust for their efforts and dedication to maintain and hold the land for future generations the plaque added.

Gardening in any sized space Believe you need an acre of property to start gardening? Think again. Individuals can grow their own patch of greenery in just about any space they have on hand. When it comes time to getting your hands dirty, it doesn't matter if there are rolling hills or a single container filled with soil on which to plant. Although many gardening professionals present plans for larger-scale gardens, it's possible to create smaller-scale options that require a great deal less maintenance and upkeep. To get started, homeowners or apartment dwellers need to first look at the space they

have. Perhaps this is a few flower pots or a small square of exposed dirt in an otherwise concrete jungle. Others may have an expansive backyard in which to toil in the soil. Either way, knowing what you have to work with can help home gardeners map out a more successful plan of action. Next, it's important to consider the climate and the soil conditions. Soil can be amended to a point, but plants that require a lot of water may not do well in an area plagued by drought. Colour is another thing to consider. Gardeners with smaller spaces may want to

think about keeping gardens mainly monochromatic, which will look more cohesive. Cool-coloured flowers and plants will help make a garden look larger. Warmcoloured flowers will add impact and could create a cozier feel. Hanging baskets and raised containers can add height and free up more floor space for gardens. They're particularly helpful when space is at a premium. Keep in mind that baskets and containers tend to dry out easily, so using peat moss, vermiculite and other products that tend to hold onto water will help keep the soil moist. These

Gardening is a rewarding hobby that can be done on a small or large scale. containers also may need to be watered more frequently. Containers also can be used to plant small trees or shrubs. Use them for vegetable plants as well. The advantage to containers is they can be moved elsewhere if a plant is not thriving in a particular area. People who have an extremely space with which to work may be limited to a few flower pots in the window, but they can easily grow herbs or annual flowers. Those who have a large space may want to consider breaking the landscape down into smaller quadrants; otherwise, the garden can seem

unruly. Use hardscape materials, such as mulch, rocks, boulders, and slate to break up the greenery (and also cut down on items that need pruning and watering).

Realtors play an integral part in their communities. In a recent survey by the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA), 84 per cent of Ontario Realtors said they had contributed to their local community either through local charities, sports teams or events within the past year. “I would like to recognize all OREA members who generously donate their time, money and skills to their local communities,” says Dreena Gilpin, president, Ontario REALTORS Care® Foundation. “I am honoured to be part of a profession that places such importance on giving back to its communities.” The Ontario REALTORS Care® Foundation (previously the Canadian Real Estate Board Foundation – Ontario Fund, and the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA) Foundation) was first established in 1967 to raise funds for a variety of charitable organizations across Ontario.

In 1999, the Ontario REALTORS Care® Foundation turned its focus to shelter-based charitable organizations, a cause near and dear to Realtors. Since 1998, 4.4 million dollars have been granted to shelter-based organizations across the province on behalf of Ontario Realtors. “Realtors help people buy and sell homes every day. We understand the comfort they bring and the memories they hold. We also recognize the value that living in a strong, safe and stable community offers to our families and our neighbours, and that’s why we give back,” says Gilpin. If you have been thinking about volunteering, but are not sure what you would like to do, here are some suggestions: Visit local seniors – seniors’ homes will almost always take volunteers, and it can be quite a rewarding experience. Volunteers help enrich the lives of seniors residents by engaging in activities together and sometimes just through conversation.

Help your local institutions – If you have school-aged children, you may already be familiar with all the volunteer opportunities available at your child’s school. Beyond that, after school care programs, day care centres, camps and church groups can always use extra help. Share your skills – If you have a green thumb, your neighbour might appreciate your help this spring with sprucing up their garden. Or, if you can write, your local charity might benefit from having you write news releases or content for the website. Donate to charity – Monetary donations go a long way at charities. If you cannot give financially, you might like to donate clothing, food, toys or toiletries instead. More information is available at, www.wedothehomework.ca. This article is provided by local REALTORS® and the Ontario Real Estate Association for the benefit of consumers in the real estate market.
