The Ameliasburgh pioneer village is a popular destination among small-town museums because it offers a setting that helps people bring history to life. Those visiting on the Victoria Day long weekend also have the help of a real community of living pioneers staying on site. :It’s a learning thing and it keeps an old tradition going,” said Roger Redner, the man responsible for bringing re-enactors from across the province to camp at the start of the tourist season. Though Redner said his guests for the Gathering of Friends Rendez-Vous weekend really enjoy the quiet time they have to share and reflect with one another, he expressed some dismay the group still seems to be a wellguarded secret. “It’s a win-win when people come. It brings the museum traffic and it offers us an audience,” he said, adding many of the campers have invested thousands of dollars in their period tents and costumes, so they like to show off what they’ve done to fit in with a crowd of pre-1840 traders. Redner, who has been involved in the re-enactment for more than 20 years and its organizer for about a dozen, said there were several things to be positive about with the group of participants who showed up this year. “It’s pretty near full We have 30 campsites with two or three new ones this year and I’m happy with that,” he said, while preparing for a pot luck dinner for 60 people cooked over open fires. In particular, Redner and some of the other veteran re-enactors were encouraged with the turn out of children who were willing to join with their families for the retro camping experience. “There must be 8-10 of them this year and that’s kind of nice to see,” he said. “Some of them have been to a lot of these dos — they started when they were babies — and that’s important,” he said. “When I look

around, I see no teenagers. They’re the ones who are going to keep this going.” During the activities, the children aren’t sitting idle, either. Maxime Talbot was right there on the games ground throwing knives and tomahawks with precision, while Bianca Cella and a couple of the other girls in camp wandered over to the neighbouring Victoria Schoolhouse to learn more about embroidery and penmanship. Claudette Cella, who had most of the children in the camp playing together near her tent said she and her family never had any concerns about bringing them along or keeping them interested. “Everybody welcomes them and involves them. The whole camp kind of watches out for them and keeps them safe,” she said. Cella said when the students go back to school, they can tell their teachers and classmates about experiencing “something different,” and often, they can relate their weekend lessons to those learned in their actual classrooms.

Although there was still some division among councillors as to where to locate a new fire station and whether to go with a nine or 10-station plan, committee of the whole voted to award the contract for project management services for the project. Seven submissions were received in response to the municipality's request for proposal (RFP) for project management services. Staff recommended MPHM Project Managers Inc. at a cost of $120,277.20. If approved by council, MPHM will take on the task of advising the municipality on the costs and oversee the design, development, and construction of a new fourbay fire station to be located in Consecon. They would also assist with the search for a plot of land big enough to locate a 12-bay Picton station. Once a site is chosen, the project manager — if council chooses — could also oversee the design, development, and construction of that building. At the heart of the debate last week was the nine-station plan — which council approved in principle last November — as that plan calls for a new 12-bay fire station to be constructed in the vicinity of the traffic circle in Picton. A 10-station plan had been discussed at that time as well. In November, when the plan was approved in principle, mayor Peter Mertens said the decision wouldn't bind council to one plan or the other. He said once the full costs are determined, council could decide whether to pursue the project. On Thursday, councillor Robert Quaiff said he didn't believe that was the case. Quaiff argued the motion on the committee-of-the-whole agenda — which included both the Consecon and Picton stations — bound council to construct a fire station within the vicinity of the traffic circle.

Councillor Bev Campbell supported the policy. “This is an excellent piece of work and I would like to offer my congratulations to staff. It's been a long time coming and it's a very well done policy. A report submitted to the committee last week says a survey of residents last summer pointed to a need for better problem solving, an improved phone system and staff responsiveness, and an improved booking process. The report says the new policy will look to outline the importance of excellent customer service as a part of day-to-day operations, will

look to sure interaction with customers is prompt, respectful, and friendly, and will look to make sure the customer service standards are applied consistently across the corporation. One way the municipality is looking to do that is through the InTouch action tracking system which was implemented in Shire Hall last December. The system will be implemented throughout the organization under the new customer service plan. “It is an invaluable tool of tracking inquiries, suggestions and complaints, assigning them to appropriate staff and ensuring they are addressed in a timely manner,� the report says. “The statistics to date have been impressive, and clearly tell us
anybody, can assume their inquiry or complaint is being tracked on the system. That's what the policy says,� she said. The report says the customer service policy will also look to implement more staff training with a greater emphasis on customer service. The training would also involved demonstration on how to use the InTouch action tracking database in order to follow through with customer inquiries. “Robust, municipal-specific customer service training was provided to senior management in December 2012 and will be offered to all staff in 2013 as part of the Customer Service Excellence Strategy,� the report says. “This training will emphasize the importance of incorporating both the customer service policy into the dayto-day work of all employees.�

As a result of work action by secondary and elementary teachers this past fall, a number extra curricular activities at schools across the province were changed, altered or cancelled. One of the fruits of this course taken by educators will is on display this week at PECI and although there is no discounting the negatives from this falls unpleasantness, a positive has come shining through. For the first time perhaps ever, PECI students are organizing, producing and presenting an original offering with virtually no teacher involvement whatsoever. The one-act play The Bet, written by PECI's own Sam Kuipers, finishes its threeday run this afternoon at PECI at 4 p.m. in the dramatic arts room. Producer and senior student Sydnee Mulridge said the die was cast this fall when students and staff met and discussed options going forward as a result of Bill 115 work action. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Staff and students had a meeting in early October and we discussed the options with the then-current situation,â&#x20AC;? Mulridge told the Gazette. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We tried to figure out what we as students could do that was within reason. We came with the idea of writing a play and producing it ourselves. So a small group of would-be theatrical entrepreneurs started to organize a small scale production that would keep the annual tradition of a PECI production alive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's definitely a lot more work than I thought it would be, we've tried to keep the costs low and finance it ourselves, making our own costumes and

Picton Gazette 80 years ago — 1933
The American collegiate track-and-field champions for five years running, the University of Southern California Trojans were set to stop over in Bloomfield to rest as part of an eastern tour taking them from Boston to Chicago. The team’s manager, Jack Fraleigh, a Bloomfield resident , was asked by the coaches to find a quiet town in Canada to stop. The team planned to visit Sandbanks. Picton Collegiate principal J.H. Fox told the Picton Kiwanis Club that with a greater amount of information becoming mass knowledge, the onus would be on the education system to move from a focus on giving students knowledge to giving them the tools to apply that knowledge in their lives. School children from Picton and its surrounding areas came together at the cenotaph monument and dressed it with bright tulips, apple blossoms, and other spring flowers as the town marked Empire Day. Mayor E.P. Cox said the children set a splendid example with their remembrance of the fallen soldiers.
60 years ago — 1953
The eight council members present at a special meeting to approve Picton’s annual streets budget were deadlocked. The tie votes meant a delay to the paving work scheduled. Councillors also sought legal opinion about whether mayor H. J. McFarland was able to cast his “no” ballots or only break ties. It was ruled he was allowed to vote. Council did agree to accept Engineer E.O. Butts’ resignation at that meeting as he was offered a position in Port Hope he could not turn down. A bolt of lightning entered the home of William Minnie on Picton Road 8 through a light fixture. The energy surge left twoinch blackened holes in the walls that stopped just above the heads of Minnie and his wife in their bedroom. Ontario’s acting premier George Doucett hailed H.J. McFarland as a nation builder and outstanding Canadian at a banquet in his honour at the Armouries.
40 years ago — 1973
Scottish farmer George Elder was visiting the county on a 12-week junior farmers’ exchange. The beef farmer said farms here were generally bigger, the use of fertilizers was more prevalent here, and farmers in his country didn’t have the same access to corn for feed due to a shorter growing season. He also said there were way more trees than he imagined. Livestock farmers received more flexibility in their taxes through the loss carry-forward provision. Farmers could delete their expenses in any one year and reapply them at another more favourable time.
20 years ago — 1993
A young offender pled guilty to the manslaughter of 68-year-old Raymond Harwood, whose body was found on Huffs Island Road in 1991. The Quinte District Co-operative, a group that hoped to purchase local co-operatives in Picton, Napanee, and Kingston announced it would not continue with the purchases as it fell short of its $300,000 goal of public fundraising. Canada Post announced it would place Cherry Valley’s post office at Rudy’s Grocery after its contract ended with Wendy’s General Store.

Birding festival when birds watch birders
There is seldom any singing or dancing at these festivals. But, there might be if a rare enough bird shows up. These “birding festivals” across the country focus on some aspect of the bird world, whether waterfowl, cranes, shorebirds, or in the case of Prince Edward County, the phenomenal migration of spring songbirds, particularly warblers. So, in a sense, it is a true festival, of little coveys of observers joyfully celebrating new sightings, or a lone birder exclaiming vocally with nary a care if anyone nearby hears, that a long sought after species has just been seen. At Prince Edward County’s famed Prince Edward Point, we detect these invisible voices occasionally sifting through the trees as yet another new species has been seen. For me, it was a bluewinged warbler that everyone else had seen, but failed to cooperate for me, until later in the day when it appeared in a grove of prickly ash. I quickly looked over my shoulder to see if anyone had heard me when I blurted out a holy expletive in response to the unexpected sighting. Since 1997, the Prince Edward County Spring Birding Festival has focused its attention on the extraordinary annual May migration of songbirds, with special attention to its warblers. There are over 30 species of these little neotropical migrants and as we watched them seeking insect larvae from the emerging tree foliage, we couldn’t help but marvel that just days earlier, they had been rubbing shoulders with bananquits and motmots in Central America. It is a
This is Safe Boating Awareness Week and the OPP is hoping to make it clear to boaters their responsibility on the water at all times. The provincial police force said it expects the same of boaters and paddlers on Ontario’s waterways that it expects of drivers on the
migration just short of incredible – thousands of miles from the tropics, to here. This southeastern tip of Prince Edward County is but a refueling station; it is still a long way to the boreal forests where they will raise their young. For others, like the dapper whitecrowned sparrows that showed up during the festival, their journey will not end until they reach the James Bay Lowlands, well beyond the boreal forests. The festival during the week of May 11-20 drew the attention of the curious to these long distance travellers, under the guidance of experienced birders. There were early morning walks along a network of groomed trails in a roadside wooded area, known in birding circles as the Point Traverse Woods, only a half kilometer or so from Prince Edward Point proper. Benches placed at strategic viewing areas where migrants have been known to concentrate, allowed the weary to simply sit and wait for birds to come to them. The week also
became a festival of photos where birds enjoyed few private moments as thousands of dollars’ worth of sophisticated cameras and accessories recorded their every move. Novice birders from across Ontario, Quebec, and occasionally, the United States, left with a greater appreciation for this migratory hotspot, the first peninsula of land that exhausted migrants see after battling treacherous conditions in the race across Lake Ontario. This peninsula is also the location for the Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory, a legion of volunteers that catch hundreds of these migrants every day in almost invisible mist nets, weighing them, checking them for fat content, sexing them and, finally, placing a unique band on their leg and sending them off on their journey. Under the direction of licensed banders, including a few every year from other countries, they band several thousand birds every spring and fall. The number banded is infinitesimal, given the millions that pass over, but enough to serve as an important sample of what’s really out there and, statistically, providing vital information on how different species are making out, population-wise. As part of the Canadian Bird Migration Monitoring Network, a daily census provides additional data on populations here. To complement the banding demonstrations and guided walks, workshops giving tips on sorting out the plethora of warbler species through field marks and unique songs were given along with a workshop on identifying those hawk
specks high in the sky. A special birding tour to other areas of interest, wildflower walks, and a new “Boot Camp for Birders” was offered, as well as a session on how we have progressed way beyond cumbersome field guides into the electronic age. In addition to providing an opportunity for enthusiastic birders to celebrate the spring arrival of birds, the festival is also an important tourism draw during the shoulder season when this remote peninsula of land suddenly comes alive with the voices of both birds and birders. Birders watching birds, and birds watching birders. Where $3,000 binoculars and $10,000 telephoto camera lenses blend together with birding beginners in a sort of happy kind of madness that the world could use a lot more of these days. Yet, the gala event seldom attracts the attention of the press, and a disappointingly infinitesimal percentage of local birders ever attend, except for the volunteers who organize it. The hundreds who do attend are birders, both novice and experts, who travel many hours to get here, returning home with a treasure trove of memories. The birds, however, don’t seem to mind all the attention, and seem to rather enjoy the sudden interest in their arrival from the tropics, if only for an intense period of a week or two.
province’s roadways. One aspect the OPP is focusing on this week is alcohol as it contributed to seven boating deaths in provincial waters last year. Those operating boats are expected to stay sober and they could have their licences immediately suspended if they are found to
be in the warn range or higher when it comes to blood/alcohol content. Another key message is the use of personal floatation devices (PFDs). Of the 22 boating fatalities in Ontario last year, 18 were not wearing their PFDs. Struggling with immersion in cold water of-
fers another risk to those boaters who go overboard. The OPP also warns boaters to be cognizant of the weather conditions and to ensure their boats are properly prepared with the appropriate safety equipment.

Drag strip nostalgia Racers at the Armdrop Drags Saturday were treated to some local racing lore at Loch
Sloy Park. Belleville’s Shawn Cowen brought the original Mohawk Dragway sign, while Peaceful Pacers Custom Rod Club founding member Bob Beazer brought out his ceremonial headdress and costume that any National Hot Rod Association racing veterans remembered as “the Canadian Indian.” Beazer flagged once more Saturday, including this race between John Morton (pictured) and Pat Doornbos. The Armdrop races aim to reduce accidents caused by street racing by encouraging racers to hit the strip. Each race brings new racers to the Picton strip. Over 30 show cars and 25 bikes found their way to the starting line, including a 1964 Grand Prix owned by Ken Vesterfelt of California. (Submited photo)
Ontario residents should be heading for the polls
THE sun was out for much of the Victoria Day long weekend, allowing many Ontarians to think about the summer ahead and any number of diversions — cottages for those fortunate enough to have them, vacations from work or school, and plans for their summers, which will be here before we know it. Many weren’t thinking about the province’s growing per capita debt load, the strain placed on our hospital system to serve an aging population, or the cost of auto insurance. A near brush with an LCBO strike and a brush of liquor might have been the closest they came to thinking about the increasing costs of labour and pressures on the workforce. Now that the holiday has passed, maybe some people will return to thinking about those questions and others facing the province that will affect their businesses, their taxes, and their quality of life. Some may be relieved this morning to learn that the NDP — the third choice among parties in popular vote in 2011 and still not a clear leader in opinion polls today — has decided to save $92 million and allow them to hit their summer without having to think about those issues before an unwanted election. Every decision comes with a price, however, and we wonder what this one will cost Ontario residents. Much of the more than $3 billion in new spending introduced in the Liberal budget this year is directly related to requests from the NDP to prop up the minority government and one doesn’t even know what the cost of such planks as a 15-per-cent reduction in auto insurance or guaranteed levels of home care will ultimately cost the province. Those ideas are still being fleshed out in committee and they ultimately may be too costly to implement. The NDP’s support also would appear to sustain a government that covered up a political decision about moving two gas plants that could have tipped the balance in the 2011 election and ultimately cost the province more than five times the cost to go back to the polls in squandered spending at a time when fiscal restraint was sorely needed. In many ways, the new premier has continued with the direction of her predecessor, who also campaigned on the notion that he had no plans to leave in lean times. While many Ontario residents may not want an election right now, it would be money well spent. Parties would have the time to cost out the spending they want to see and explain how it would help Ontario save money and serve residents, then present their plans directly to the people with hopes of capturing a direct mandate to move forward. If all three parties truly believe they can form government, it should be a valiant campaign that could stimulate the economy by engaging leading edge strategists and communications personnel. Ontario residents deserve governance by representatives who have the courage to cost out their plans, present them in detail, and follow through on the electorate’s direction. Right now, that is missing. We should be heading for the polls.

Library, Regent partner to present an awardwinning documentary The County of Prince Edward Public Library and the Regent Theatre have joined forces to bring the award-winning documentary Revolution by Rob Stewart to the Regent Theatre. There will be free showings for the community and for school students on Monday, June 3. High school students and those in senior elementary grades, through reserved seating, will see the film at 9 a.m. and 12:15. A free showing for the public will be screened at 5:15 p.m. The film has been hailed as a “must see” by many including David Suzuki who insists that, “If you go to one movie this year, it must be Revolution.” Winner of International Film Festival awards in Toronto, Vancouver, Santa Barbara, and Victoria as well as the Atlantic Film Festival, Revolution is a film about changing the world. It is the true-life adventure of biologist and filmmaker Rob Stewart that continues the remarkable journey of his acclaimed Sharkwater documentary. Traveling to fifteen countries over four years, Stewart investigates the most significant environmental issues on earth, and works to find answers to saving the ecosystems we depend on for survival. He embarks on an adventure that takes him from the coral reefs in Papua New Guinea and deforestation in Madagascar to the largest environmental project in history in Alberta. In doing so, he reveals how all of our actions are interconnected and that environmental issues are reducing the earth's ability to house humans. How did this happen, and what will it take to change the course on which humanity has set itself? These are the questions the film attempts to answer, all the while presenting startlingly beautiful images of our world. Stewart also meets with dedicated individuals and organizations that are working on solutions, and finds encouragement and hope that inspire and educate. Education is key and the motivation for offering free showings to the County’s youth. Having viewed the documentary’s movie trailer and investigated the Revolution web site, Scott Young, head of the science department at Prince Edward Collegiate, said the film, “…ties in beautifully with the sci-

ence curriculum." Close to 500 students will be attending from PECI and over 250 from elementary schools, “numbers which are made possible due to our partnership with the Regent,” says library CEO Barbara Sweet The theatre plays an integral role in our community and the collaborations with the library over recent years have made possible unique educational opportunities including author visits and musical presentations. This is the first joint venture based on a film screening. “The Regent Theatre values its long-standing partnership with Prince Edward County Public Library,” says the Regent’s general manager Bob Schroen, “and we’re pleased to co-present the multi-award winning film, Revolution.” All three showing are being screened free of charge. The Regent is a non-profit organization and it is with the help of its volunteers that events such as this are made possible. “We value the continued community support of the theatre – a vital cultural institution,” says Schroen, “and hope that if you are not a Regent member, that you will consider becoming one or volunteering.” The theater relies on memberships, sponsorships, advertising, council grants and thousands of hours from its volunteers to maintain the quality of its programming and to keep the lights burning on Picton’s Main Street marquee. The library and the theatre share similar goals of contributing to the quality of life in the county.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
County residents not prepared to sit idle
In a credo on wind energy (“Debate around wind energy has become too acrid,” May 16) John Legate laments community division but comes close to committing the sort of libel that has kept him silent for a year. Earlier, Legate defamed Dr. Robert McMurtry, not by name, but through an obvious, offensive description. Now McMurtry is besmirched for having defended himself legally. The intent is clearly to paint the good doctor as bully and Legate as saintly victim. But Legate gets one thing
right: The debate over wind energy is acrimonious. It’s worth considering how this has occurred. When county residents see a nature reserve and wildlife threatened, when their homes, health, and futures are at risk, they are justifiably angry with those supporting destructive development. The Ontario government and a German-based company may be principally responsible for targeting the County, but the public debate has been inflamed by those who share Legate’s beliefs.
They have denied the many concerns of neighbours who must bear the consequences of wind development. They have tried to damage the reputation of an Order of Canada medical practitioner and health advocate. They are now distracting attention from the Environmental Review Tribunal (ERT) on Ostrander Point. The ERT appeal on both the natural environment and human health continues to present strong evidence of the serious and irreversible harm that wind projects cause.
The appellants must contend with the considerable resources of a private developer as well as the Ontario government. It is taking hundreds of thousands of dollars to settle the issues and to preserve the county. Every county resident who truly wants the debate and divisiveness to end should be contributing towards the Alliance to Protect Prince Edward County and Prince Edward County Field Naturalists’ legal costs.

Shipment of hand tools much appreciated in Ghana
Six months ago at Home Hardware in both Picton and Wellington, and Evans Lumber in Picton there were bins asking for gently used hand tools to be donated to the Atorkor Vocational Training Centre, in Ghana, Africa. The school is new and we needed tools to start our trade programs in welding, electrical installation and masonry construction We collected hundreds of tools from the community, how very generous Prince
Edward County is! The crate — built and donated for the tools — a nd four months ago it was finally shipped from Canada to Africa with Picton Rotary Club donating the shipping costs — finally arrived this week! I went to Accra to pick it up, after hours of waiting, much documentation, discussion and bargaining, the crate was released! Not before it was totally unpacked, each box being
carried to the waiting truck and repacked into the crate there. No fork lifts here! The excitement when I finally got back to the Vocational Training School some three hours later was immense! As the boxes were unpacked the students crowded around exclaiming, the instructors were delighted picking up and examining each item, so many happy people! And the crate was in high demand as a very solid secure storage container!
So my very sincere thanks again to everyone who donated, collected, shipped and gave of their time and space to make this all happen and for bringing such good things to this vocational training school so far from the county! You certainly have made a difference!
Governments at all levels rarely carry out policies and practices that meet the public good. In their place we have instances of important decisions that meet the well being of those in power. There is a joke that goes like this... Son: “ Dad I think I will join organized crime.” Dad: “Which one government of private sector?” Currently we have before us a Senate whose role was designed to oversee the work of our elected
Parliament and reflect the public good. In its place we have tainted members who rubber stamp all legislation passed by our elected officials. Beyond this basic role, we now have several members of Senate who have committed a crime against us, the taxpayers, by charging unauthorized expenses. We have elected the Conservative government with somewhere in the 30 per cent range of voters. This group is about to build several Arctic patrol vessels
far in excess of similar crafts provided by other countries. The estimated price of design alone has been reported to be in excess of the cost of the ship itself. These are only a few of the recent work of our government that rankles. Almost every federal government service that keeps us informed or help s us has been reduced, some even removed altogether. The monies saved from these cuts are not used to reduce our debt but
designed to build more prisons, buy unwanted aircraft and other purchases that do not affect the needed public good. The time is long overdue for us, the voters, to demand, something in the order of "Idle No More" , that the pubic good be respected and met . The joke , supported by the recent work of the prime minister’s staff , may not be too far of the mark.

Thank you Gazette readers! That's the message Kana Claus-Gifford wants to pass along after contributions made by you and several others that read about her story on social media websites allowed her her and her family to travel to Disney World earlier this month. If you recall, Claus-Gifford is a Picton native now living in Belleville and the mother of two has been diagnosed with a terminal astrocytoma brain tumour. The former Prospect street resident has been given between five and 10 years to live and with a finite amount of time left, it was hoped that while she was still able, her family could take one trip together. Her good friend Kate Shehbaz (nee Sharpe) sprang into action, developing a registry at a Napanee travel agency to make their seemingly impossible dreams come true. After Claus-Gifford’s story appeared in the April 11, 2013 issue of the Picton Gazette, funds started to pour into the registry and soon, the Giffords were able to book that trip of a lifetime. “We had planned on going in July,” Claus-Gifford said. “But the outpouring was happening so fast and I've been feeling really good lately so we thought 'Why not sooner?'.” Instead of the high heat and humidity of Florida in July, the family was able to book a five-night, six-day stay at the Disney Animal Kingdom Villas where every morning, they could look upon the savannah and watch zebras and giraffes roam before spending the day at the most magical place on Earth. The Giffords’ decided to surprise Logan (6) and Gabriel (3), not telling them they were about to depart on every kids dream vaca-

tion. “We picked them up from day care, and we said 'Why don't we go away for the night?',” Claus-Gifford recalled. “We went to a hotel and the next day we took a shuttle bus to the airport.” The children soon started spotting airplanes and became curious. “I said 'Hey, let's get on one of these planes and see where it takes us,'” ClausGifford said with a laugh. The jig was up in Orlando when the family boarded the official Disney charter bus complete with Mickey Mouse on the side and Disney movies playing on television screens inside the bus. “But then we got to the Animal Kingdom Villa and Logan was like 'Is this it?' I could tell she was expecting
a lot more and was kind of bummed out,” said ClausGifford. Another surprise was in store, however, as the family had a dinner reservation at Cinderella's castle at the Magic Kingdom. 'We walked through the tunnel and Logan started seeing it all for the first time and she started shaking,” Claus-Gifford said. “She couldn't find the words.” A dinner with all the Disney princesses was topped with the nightly lights parade where the family met up with Jiminy Cricket of Pinocchio fame. The conscionable cricket asked the family to make a wish because wishes do come true. “Logan leaned in to me and said 'Mommy, I wish that we could always be together.'.”

Opimian Society members show their appreciation for county wine varieties
The second weekend in May has become a traditional weekend for the Opimian Society to travel to the county to experience some great wine. And we had another sell out crowd! A Canadian co-operative, the Opimian Society was founded for the purpose of buying wine, utilizing expert wine buyers to source fine wine from around the world for their members. The Society has Jane Masters, one of less than 300 Masters of Wine in the world, travel the world looking for good value wines. The society also provides education and knowledge of these wines. My partner Delores Woodley is a sommelier and is the area representative for the Opimian Society. This year marks the fourth year that we have invited Opimians from around the province to join us for a wine tour in the county. People

whole inn for the weekend for our members who really enjoy the hospitality that Lanny Huff and his team give them. Following this wine and cheese and a tour of the winery out transportation for the day arrived at noon. Our first stop of the day was Sugarbush Vineyards, owned and operated by Robert and Sally Peck. Rob met everyone outside and showed how he converted their home into a small boutique winery. We then went inside to their tasting room where Sally met everyone with treats that she prepared to match with the wines they were serving. We then went to Broken Stone Winery, a brand new winery owned by Tim and Micheline Kuepfer. We wanted to give Opimian's an experience and what better way than to talk to people making wine and not even scheduled to open for another week! We did a vertical tasting of three different years of their Pinot noir and everyone had a great time. Then we were off to Lacey Estates Winery where Kimball and Liz Lacey led the members through a tasting of four of their leading varietals. We had the tasting back where Kimball makes the wine and the members really enjoyed the food pairings that Liz came up with. Our fourth stop of the afternoon was at Stanners Vineyard. This unique winery was built using the unique Straw Bale construction method and is the first Straw Bale winery east of the Rockies! Cliff and Colin led the tasting of some very good wine and answered questions while Mary moved throughout the barrel room giving members yet some more great food to be enjoyed with their wine! Our final stop of the day was a return visit to Harwood Estates. There's is a winery completely off the grid and members enjoyed seeing that but the special attraction here was a barrel tasting by new winemaker Ben Sherpa. Ben drew some Chardonnay wine out of two different barrels ... one of American oak and the other out of French oak. The members really enjoyed this unique tasting to see the differences that the different

oaks produce. Following this barrel tasting we were treated to even more wine (and very tasty treats) including their 2011 Marquesa port style wine, currently leading in the cheese category in the Great Canadian Wine match. Yes, the tasting were now done for the day, having tasted approximately 24 wines during our six-hour trip. Now it was back to Huff Estates where Delores led a tasting of wine from around the world which was followed by a great dinner prepared by chef Michael Hoy. To top off the evening we had Mark McGreevy and Fraser Hardman play their entertaining brand of party music. The dance floor was rocking. It was a fun and entertaining 12 hours of wine in the county. Can't wait until we do it again next year! Update on the Great Canadian Wine Match. Over 400 Canadian wines were entered into this competition and all 6 county wines I entered made it to the finals. The top five wines in each category will now be voted on until June 1. Go to www.GreatCanadianWinematch.com to vote for county wines to win the national title in each category! You can vote once per day in each category. Let's show the rest of Canada that we have something special here in the county! -Joe Hache maintains an independent guide to local wineries at www.princeedwardcountywineries.com.

With a little hard work and a lot of scrubbing Saturday, a small group of PECI students helped punch their tickets from the side of King Street to Wall Street. No, the international business students do not have plans to take their car wash public on the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ indexes, but they will be able to share the same breathing space as the movers and shakers on the world’s busiest markets. The class will leave for a three-and-a-half day tour in Manhattan, which teacher Rob Garden says will give them a broader appreciation of the world. “The purpose of the trip is to increase the students ‘cultural awareness. They will witness firsthand the effects of globalization, take part in a financial tour of Wall Street, and, of course have fun!” The trip will feature trips to Chinatown and lower Manhattan sites, including Wall Street, Ground Zero, and the 9/11 memorials. The Panther delegation is also planning to take in the Broadway musical, Rock of Ages, and visit Liberty Island, one of the most recognizable of American symbols. On Friday night, the Panthers will be guests at Citi Field when the New
York Mets host the Atlanta Braves. Saturday’s activities include time spent at uptown destinations like Central Park, the Fifth Avenue shopping district, and Harlem. That evening, the students will eat in Little Italy, then take a bus trip featuring the sites of the Manhattan and Brooklyn boroughs at night. Lindsay Palacious, one of the students at the car wash Saturday indicated she’s never been to New York and she’s literally
counting the hours until it is time to depart. “It’s going to be an amazing experience,” she said. “It’ll be really cool to be right there where so many things happen.” Palacious said she is probably looking forward to the Broadway musical the most. Nice weather and heavy traffic within downtown Picton Saturday helped the students complete a successful fundraiser. Palacious said the car wash was busy right from
Prince Edward County residents weren’t dreaming when they felt a rumble beneath them Friday. Natural Resource Canada reported a 5.2 magni-

Richter scale. The quake was the largest reported in eastern Ontario since 1944.

Blooming season is the perfect time to buy, rejuvenate lilacs to add to garden
Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a beautiful time in the county when the lilacs are all in bloom. A great many of the lilacs that we see throughout the county are those that were planted many years ago around old homesteads. Yes, lilacs are a hardy plant with a very long life! This is the perfect time
of year to buy lilacs as you can see the colour and check out the fragrance while they are in bloom. They may be planted at any time that the ground can be worked. They should be located in a sunny spot, away from other shrubs, hedges or trees and not overhanging paths or
driveways. The soil should be slightly alkaline. Most of our soil in the county is slightly alkaline and that is one reason that lilacs do so well here. The hole should be wider than the root ball and the soil at the bottom should have lots of organic matter and some phosphate added. A ridge of soil around the plant will form a soil dish to direct water to the roots. Filling the soil dish slowly with water two or three times will eliminate air pockets around the roots. Watering is required throughout the first growing season. The time to prune lilacs is immediately after they
bloom so as not to remove the buds that the lilac sets for the next year. To rejuvenate a lilac, simply remove 1/3 of the oldest canes right down to the ground every year. Wait until after the shrub blooms, of course. Do the same thing for the following two years and you will have a completely rejuvenated plant at the end of three years. You will sacrifice some blooms over these three years as the newest canes are still growing to maturity. You could be even more selective about which canes to remove, taking a smaller portion of the canes, say

one-fifth of the total and you would have a new shrub in five years while retaining more of the blooms. In any case, do not remove more than onethird of the canes in any one year. That is a rule of thumb for any shrub that you might be trimming back or thinning out. Lilacs may, rarely, be attacked by borers and scale insects. These can be dealt with using an approved pesticide. Mildew is not really harmful, just unattractive. Prune the lilac for better air circulation and remove all of the dead leaves when they fall. Spray with fungicide or baking soda solution. There are a few good reasons for lilacs not blooming. The shrub may not be old enough, or it could be in too much shade. Lilacs like full sun. There may be too much nitrogen in the soil which produces lush greenery but robs the plant of flowers. Chances are the high nitrogen comes from fertilizing the lawn so when you fertilize the lawn, try to avoid applying it to the lilac area. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a method to get the most longevity out of cut lilacs. Prepare clean, non-metallic pails of cold water. Never use preservative in a metal container. A commercial preservative may be added if desired. It is important to mix according to directions. Alternatively, a homemade preservative may be made by mixing: â&#x2013; One litre (4 cups) water, 15 ml. (one tablespoon)
ASk A mASter gArdener
KATHY MACPHERSON
sugar, 3 ml. (one-half teaspoon) bleach â&#x2013; Do use more preservative when topping up the water. â&#x2013; Always remove the lilac leaves which will be under water. â&#x2013; Fill in with other greens, when arranging, if desired. â&#x2013; Crosscut stem ends. â&#x2013; Place stems immediately into deep cold water. â&#x2013; Leave for six hours before making up arrangement. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget that the Master Gardenersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; annual plant sale is this Saturday, May 25 in the Metro parking lot in Picton. The sale begins at 8:30 and a lot of Master Gardeners will be on hand to answer questions and provide planting advice. We hope to see you there.

A large-scale airsoft event will be held in Picton next month, one that organizers says will be the largest ever held in Canada. Organizer Jason Peterkin was in Shire Hall last week where he asked committee of the whole to consider a noise bylaw exemption for the event. Councillors voted to send the exemption request back to staff for a report to the next council meeting. Similar to paintball, airsoft pits participants in a simulated gun battle where plastic pellets are fired from replica firearms. Representing airsoft team Force Recon Canada, Peterkin said the event will be held June 14–16 at the Craig Complex on the Heights in Picton. The complex is regularly used for paintball events. He said the event would run 18 hours beginning at approximately 1 p.m. on Saturday and running until 7 a.m. on Sunday. He said 322 participants have already paid to participate. “It's a big event for us,” he said. “It's the largest airsoft game in Canada at this point — so that's a pretty big feat for the sport.” Peterkin said councillors should consider the exemption because the game will be the largest in Canada and will bring over 400 new visitors to Picton for the weekend who will be spending money here. He said there would be some sound devices that will be used throughout the day with the
loudest being approximately 100 decibels. “There is only one neighbour who's potentially affected,” Peterkin said. “… I can go and talk to them at any point. There are events hosted every weekend at the facility there. This event wouldn't be anything new to the neighbours.” Peterkin said some of the noise would be created by
small pyrotechnics. “They shouldn't range any more than 100 decibels and the frequency is once every three to five minutes, if that,” he said. In addition, the event will be raising money for the Wounded Warriors Foundation and collecting donations at the site. “Our goal is to raise a minimum of $1,000,” he said.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you don't always have the answers when it comes to your romantic relationship, but that's alright. There are no rule books for this type of thing; you learn as you go. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, your life has been relatively tranquil. However, you have been itching to do something fun and adventurous to turn things around. This could be the week for that. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 You may find that one of your coworkers is more critical of your work than usual, Gemini. Don't take it the wrong way, as constructive criticism can be a good thing. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, things have calmed down considerably in your life. This week presents a good opportunity to take a trip that is geared entirely around your interests. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, remain modest about your personal and professional accomplishments this week. Now is not the time to show off. Be humble in your conversations. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, as inviting as a situation may look, appearances can be deceiving. You may want to dip your toe into the water before you dive right into something.
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, this week you need to be extra cautious if you are in the middle of any business dealings. All it can take is the slightest misstep to turn everything around. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, things beyond your control may be contributing to sour feelings this week. Look at the bright side of any situation and you can probably find a solution that works. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you are seldom soft spoken, but this week you may have to be even more assertive to get your point across. Otherwise your opinions might fall on deaf ears. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Try to get outside as much as possible this week, Capricorn. The fresh air and sunshine can do wonders for your mood. Plus, you can get in some exercise. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Do not follow the examples of others when they act irrationally to a certain situation, Aquarius. Although it can be difficult, you need to take the high road. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Take a chance and express all of your goals and hopes this week, Pisces. Others may be surprised at what you have to say.

Municipality backs Dukes’ Dudley Hewitt bid
Jason Parks
Staff writer
Although the final announcement hasn't been made, if the Wellington Dukes are selected to host the Dudley Hewitt Cup next year it looks like the club will have the support of the municipality. It will still have to go to council for approval, but committee-of-the-whole voted last week to grant the Wellington Dukes the Wellington and District Community Centre in its entirety for the duration of the tournament at no cost. If the Dukes host the tournament they will also receive a $7,000 in-kind grant which would be pre-approved for the 2014 budget. The Dukes would also be granted municipal staff resources as needed from the community centres and community development department as an in-kind contribution. A report submitted to committee of the whole last Thursday says the Junior A hockey tournament would be held April 28 to May 3 next year. The report says the Dukes and the municipality worked together to host the Central Canada Cup this past December and the success of that event was a big part of being included in the consideration for hosting the Dudley Hewitt. The Dudley Hewitt Cup is awarded to the Central Canadian Junior A Champion with the winner of the trophy decided through a round robin format. The host team, along with the champions of the Ontario Junior Hockey League, Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League, and the Superior International Junior Hockey League compete for the trophy, with the winner moving on to play for the Royal Bank Cup. Wellington Dukes executive president Doug Robinson said hosting the Dudley Hewitt would be a benefit to Prince Edward County.

Norton leads Panthers to record-setting meet
Facility offered at no cost for Central Canadian championships Staff writer

It was a record setting day for PECI's track and field team at the annual Bay of Quinte Championships in Belleville on Wednesday. The squad, which features 26 student-athletes (compared to 70 that wear the colours of the 2013champion East Northumberland Secondary School) produced four Bay of Quinte championships, three of those posting superior times now held by PECI athletes. Panther track star Cole Norton had a magical day, obliterating the junior boys 100-metre and 200-metre marks en route to a pair of gold medals. The Picton native burned down the Bruce Faulds track in the marquis event in 11.08 seconds, breaking the previous mark by half a second. In the 200-metre dash, Norton busted the original record (24.15) by over a full second, completing the task in 22.90. And, if his trophy case wasn't enough, Norton anchored the PECI 4 x 100 metres junior boys relay team of himself, Lucas Clarke, Graysen St. Pierre and Blaine Swackhammer to a golden finish. The squad set a new Bay of Quinte standard of 46.64, besting the previous top time of 47.65. The mark is even more amazing when one considers that St. Pierre and Swackhammer were lastminute replacements for Hudson Keogh and Josh Stechnicki who were felled by leg injuries on the day of the meet. “Overall, I am really proud of the job all of our athletes did on Wednesday. It wasn't the easiest day or the easiest conditions but they all preformed very well,” PECI track coach Suzanne White said. As a provincially ranked athlete with international experience, Norton was his usual self in dominating the field in his three events. However, White said the Grade 10 student has brought more than his superior athletic skills to the local squad. “He was really excited about his results for obvious reasons but he's shown a lot of leadership this season,” White said. “He's been help-

ing the jumpers in practice even though he's not jumping this season and lending his expertise in those sports.” Courtney Wilson picked up her sixth Bay of Quinte championship in her fouryear PECI career, winning the senior girls shot put with a toss of 9.86 m. White said the veteran athlete was the class the division, wining by over a metre. “She was quite far ahead of her fellow competitors, she had a great day and she is a fine PECI athlete,” White said. While senior athletes like Wilson and Brad Reid (who picked up a silver in the long jump with a leap of 5.89 m) heave led the way for PECI for a number of years, the first year midget class of athletes preformed well Wednesday. Among the overall top freshmen was Lucas Clarke who won the long jump (5.35 m), placed second in the 200 m (25.23) and took third in the 100 m (12.14) “He had an outstanding day as did William Harrison who had two third place finishes in the 1,500-metre (4:57.01) and the 3000-metre (11.18.45) races,” White said. White added that midget athletes have come to PECI with experience from public school meets. “I think the elementary levels have done a great job at getting our athletes ready and fostering a love of track and field. You can tell the students are excited for this track season,” she said.

Other PECI podium finishers include: ■ Dylan Bond-Grainger took bronze in the midget boys long jump with a leap of 4.98 m. ■ St. Pierre was second in the 200 metres (57.39) and third in the javelin (40.49 m).

The Geodynamic Under-12 Prince Edward County Eagles will be set to soar tonight as they take on Kingston United at the Johnson Street Soccer Pitch at 6:30 p.m. The Prince Edward County Soccer Association's only rep club will be participating in the Southeastern Ontario Soccer Association (SOSA) and lining up against entries from Portland, Belleville, Quinte West, Cataraqui and the aforementioned Limestone City squad. Skipper Andrew Houston said this is PECSA's first foray into rep soccer at this age group, so it's hard to determine how the young team will respond to playing against higher calibre players and better organized teams. “All of the players with the exception of three have played PECSA house league and that's all, so we really have no idea where we will wind up in the standings,”
enthused players with a strong desire to show their talent, and after a short tryout, the team was selected. “Currently, the players are becoming a controlled and methodical team beyond the previous house league kickand-chase mentality,” Houston explained. “Where we finish is open for debate however with the 'want to learn' attitude they have, I have no doubt they will finish strong,” Houston said.

refer it for review because the questions being asked, in my mind, are unanswered.” He said he shared concerns about sign pollution and how that concern could potentially be mitigated. He said there was also the concern of other large events wanting to do the same thing “We may be going down a slippery slope if others want to do the same thing,” he said.

Lone rep team aims to compete in SOSA league
Houston said. Until this season, local high-skilled players looking to play rep soccer have been forced to take their talents to Quinte West, Napanee or Belleville. But a grassroots initiative developed last summer intent on seeing if the PECSA talent base at the U12 level could compete against travel teams. “In August of last year I attended about 15 house league games, evaluating players with the idea of submitting an under 12 boys rep team in the 2013 SOSA league,” Houston said. Prior to submission, the coach wanted to see what talent was available so a handpicked all-star team entered a one day rep tournament last September in Whitby. “To our delight, we won 1, tied 1 and lost to a team that had won all 7 tournaments they entered that summer. After that tournament I knew we had the makings of a team destined for success,” Houston said. A group of players and the coaches ran a couple of winter sessions for muscle memory but most of all, team camaraderie. Springtime brought
Councillors took a cautious approach to a request from the organizers of the County Marathon who want to erect 42 permanent kilometre markers for the event that will stand year round. John Houghton spoke on behalf of the County Marathon race committee at last week's committee-ofthe-whole meeting where he asked council to consider the proposal. Houghton said the race committee would like to erect 42 permanent kilometre marker signs — one for each kilometre of the race course — that could help racers training year round in the county. He said the race committee would take full responsibility for the initial cost and maintenance of the signs, which would be achieved through a corporate sponsorship agreement for each of them. The signs would be slightly smaller than the municipality's speed limit signage. Houghton said he could find only one other marathon — a race in California — that has similar permanent signage. However — amid many questions around sign pollution and current policies — councillors voted to refer the issue to staff for a report

Packages to help women escaping abuse PECI project aids Alternatives For Women AdAm BrAmBurger Staff writer
Women leaving abusive or dangerous situations don’t always have the time to pack every necessity, nor even the access to money to accommodate their needs. Sometimes women arrive at Alternatives For Women with just the clothes on their back as the monumental task was just in getting away. This year, a group of P E C I e n t re p re n e u r s h i p students has teamed up with the organization in hopes of providing some of those everyday items that are often left behind. “We started a project, like the Christmas angels where we went around to
classes and encouraged them to donate hygiene products,” said group member Natalie Snider. “We have 16 bags here and some classes did two.” Snider said the group also did some fundraising activities in the school and paid for items for additional bags of supplies. “There definitely is a need,” said group member Meghan Lal, who shared with her classmates the story of how Alternatives transitional housing provided help for someone close to her and made an impact on her own life. She added that in going to each classroom, they made a point of giving some information about the 25-year-old Picton organization and what it provides in terms of counselling and options for women in crisis. “We have them the back-
ground about what Alternatives does and why they are doing it,” she said. “It’s also about letting people know what is happening and creating awareness.” Her classmate Mark Mitchell said he didn’t know about Alternatives For Women before the project and he guessed a majority of his fellow students didn’t know much about it either. “It’s the only place here that does something like this,” he said. Alternatives transitional housing supervisor Kelly Knott was grateful to receive the students’ support. “This is wonderful,” she said. “Most times women we help have to leave quickly and a lot of times they are left with nothing. Anything we can do — even if it is hygiene products or a blanket — that’s a help.”

Ron made sure he said thank you, often with a little gift, to all those who made dealing with his diagnosis & treatment for cancer such a positive experience. He said it often, in the short time he knew, that he would never ask "why me?" or fear death. This positive attitude stayed with him until the very end & certainly helped us all to deal.

To Dr. Blanchard & his team for their care during his illness, to the doctors & nurses who were so supportive of the family while he was in QHC-PECMH.

Sheri (Revera Home Health), Joscelyn (Palliative Care Coordinator) & Marlene (CCAC)although you were unable to make many visits he enjoyed every minute of the ones you made. To our friends who continued to send support by phone, text or visits, we appreciated every one of them (even if he was unable to respond back as he wished). A great big thanks to our wonderful neighbours, Bill & Linda, you out did yourselves making our life easier. To our family, there are no words to thank you all for the support you have given us, during his illness, passing & continuing on to this day. To Ainsworth Funeral HomeTod, you & your staff made it all such a comfortable experience & your continued support is much appreciated.

To everyone who spoke & summed up Ron's whole life in such a special way. He would have loved to have heard all the good things you had to say & the memories you shared. A very special thank you Simon for performing your song dedicated to Ron. To all those that made donations in his memory, brought food, sent flowers, cards & messages of condolence. Every gesture is greatly appreciated. The Genereaux Family, Susan, Marisa, Dave, Crystal & Spencer, Adrian & Teagan.

Due to the generosity of all in attendance, the event was a huge success. Thanks again everyone. I would like to thank the ER Staff and doctors at PECMH for saving my life. I was the centre of attention of a while, the hard way. I would also like to apologize to those in the waiting room who had to wait longer for their time to receive medical attention. And a thank you to all the nurses, staff and Dr. Christie during my brief stay, again thank you. Herb Beaumont. The family of Bruce Dainard wish to express their deep appreciation to those who have offered such kindness and support. To all family, friends and neighbours for their expressions of sympathy, cards, flowers, food, phone calls, donations to charity and prayers.

God forgive us if we cry We weren't ready for him to die All our lives we knew he was there And all our lives we knew he cared. And now the world's a lonelier place Without the sight of his smiling face The tears in our eyes we can wipe away but the ache in our hearts will always stay. So those of you with loved ones Tell them that you care For you will never know the ache until you see that empty chair. Loved Mom, Dad, Sue and Ron, and Lori and Ricky. DOUGHERTY- Barrie. June 14, 1935-May 23, 2007. Peacefully sleeping, rest at last His weary trials and troubles past. In silence he suffered, in patience he bore Till God called him home to suffer no more.

Your loving wife Emma.

For over 25 years Jim fought an ongoing battle with a variety of cancers. To the very end, he faced the challenges, the hopes, and the setbacks with courage, determination and dignity. In spite of his illnesses, he lived a full and active life, albeit too short. He was a devoted husband and father, a respected bank manager (Scotiabank), a supportive volunteer for young hockey players, an avid athlete and outdoorsman. Predeceased by his parents William and Dorothy, he will be deeply missed by his wife and best friend Kim, his sons Christopher and Paul, his siblings Rosemary, Judy and Bob, and his brother-and-sister-inlaw Steve and Deb Brewster. Many thanks to the numerous teams of doctors and nurses at Princess Margaret, the London Regional Cancer Centre, Kingston General, and local medical practitioners for their years of support and care. As per Jim's wishes, his body has been donated to assist in cancer research. A Celebration of Life has been held. In lieu of flowers a Gift of your memories and stories of Jim's life would be very appreciated by the family. Please send to kimekent@gmail.com.

Campers learn about ancient crafts and put them to good use
PIONEERS, from page 1
The adult re-enactors, for the most part, were also drawn to the pastime by a thirst for adventure and a sense of discovery. Redner, for example, said that for all his years in the game, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still excited to get out to camp sites and look at the trading blankets, small squares in front of most reenactors tents where they display their wares to be sold or traded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Another year and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still wheeling and dealing,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of these guys are real craftsmen and there is always something.â&#x20AC;? Redner said he makes tomahawks to trade and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always had a keen interest in knives. Luckily, there just happened to be several other campers who specialized in knife-making and had either their own creations or antique pieces they were willing to part with in the right deal. Blacksmith Josh McLaren, 16, also found himself among the people in the camp who eager to share their own trades and pick up different ones. Eight years ago, McLaren watched a farrier making horseshoes on his farm near Norwood. He found himself inspired by the way the metal moved under fire and found himself fortunate that farrier allowed him to try his craft. He continued to read about being a farrier and a blacksmith and tried to create his own pieces over a bonfire. Last year, McLaren received some formal training from an accomplished blacksmith, who welcomed him to come to the gathering to learn and demonstrate be-

side him. Though he said he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have called a history enthusiast then, McLaren said he found a real appreciation for the Friends he was able to meet and correspond with. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone here is really nice, they have an understanding â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they see the value in the work everyone else doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily always see,â&#x20AC;? he said. McLaren said he found most of the people in the camp have their own trade theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned about and worked upon and, in most, cases, realize it takes all of those trades to make their
village work. In pioneer communities, many of those items served needs rather than novelties. In just one year, he says he now has a pile of orders for metal products â&#x20AC;&#x201D; some for tent riggings, others for sport, and even some for decoration. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love that I can take something that has no value like a crusty old horseshoe, heat it and shape it into something of value for someone.â&#x20AC;? Outside of the camp, McLaren isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so sure he can make a living as a blacksmith as he noted many iron pieces in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s society are less

functional and more trinkets or status symbols that people arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spending money on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not many people can afford them these days,â&#x20AC;? he said over the clanging of his mallet on an anvil. Still, McLaren said he feels at ease knowing there will always be a market and an appreciative eye in the camp setting. Mike Procter of Sharbot Lake also came upon the camp as a result of an activity. He recalls being bored while harvesting his maple syrup one year and making a game of throwing his ax across the forest. He quickly learned others shared his en-

nature of the Ameliasburgh camp, the first of the year, much more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This one is all fun,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love getting together with people, the camaraderie is just great.â&#x20AC;? That, too, is what has been bringing Donna Valiquette down from the Eganville area for the weekend. She said she always enjoyed dressing up and she got her start in re-enacting when a few friends brought her along for the weekend. One of Valiquetteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief concerns is that her colleagues offer a realistic portrayal for the public to see. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I get very upset when people arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t doing it properly,â&#x20AC;? she said. Redner said thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not usually a huge problem in Ameliasburgh. The time period is quite general, offering a lot of leeway. He also said his campers are very good to leave the museum grounds as they found them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People have to be invited here and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regulars only,â&#x20AC;? he said. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never had much trouble and if there is a problem, they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t coming back. It works well.â&#x20AC;? The campers were fortunate this year that there was no rain over the weekend and the nights didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get too cold either. Curator Janice Hubbs has become friends with many of the re-enactors and she said the museum has benefitted greatly from their presence. This year, the re-enactment fell on International Museums Day, which allowed people to come into the museum for free Saturday. That day, Hubbs said she counted 65 adults and 40-45 children through the front gates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the perfect time for it and having a real valueadded event like this makes my job really easy.â&#x20AC;? Just as the museum will get busy over the summer months, most of the re-enactors also expect a full schedule. Redner said pretty much every weekend from May to October, there is a re-enactment somewhere in North America one can attend.

Private lot owners express concerns that overflow is taking convenience away from their own visitors and customers
Wellington feeling pinch from lack of public parking spaces downtown Chad Ibbotson
Staff wrIter
Parking concerns in Wellington will be the focus of a staff report that will come to a future committee-of-the-whole meeting. Mayor Peter Mertens called for the staff report, saying the issue will only escalate with time and must be dealt with.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have 72 parking spaces now in Wellington presently. On many days and, in fact, quite a few days, the spaces are full and what's happening is a lot of the cars are parking in private lots and now private lot owners are starting to object,â&#x20AC;? Mertens said. He said Wellington United Church is among those seeking a solution.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;There's days when activities are happening at both the church and in the town and there's a conflict when (the church's) own parishioners can't get parked,â&#x20AC;? he said. Mertens said the United Church isn't the only one speaking up. He said the situation will only be further exacerbated when a new restaurant and hotel
opens later this year in town. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's just going to continue to be a difficult and unworkable situation so we need to start looking at it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Staff can come back and have a look at what steps we need to be taking and whether it will require a parking study. We need to move to get that in the works before we start to
see even more problems.â&#x20AC;? Mertens said many of the businesses along Wellington's Main Street have taken the initiative to have their own staff park elsewhere so as not to tie up customer parking. Even so, he said the space is very limited. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There's really only about 50 spaces that are effectively within the core,â&#x20AC;?
he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Ś Businesses recognize there's a problem and businesses are trying to work toward a solution, but it needs a comprehensive strategy.â&#x20AC;? The committee voted to have staff come to a future committee meeting with a report on the options, steps, and strategies the municipality can take regarding the issue.

Mertens says hiring project manager wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bind councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision-making ability
HALLS, from page 1
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Prior to that RFP going out, it was explained to this council that that wasn't necessarily going to be the location â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in the vicinity of the traffic circle â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but I was worried at that point that's exactly what the RFP stated,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I voiced my objection at that time and, lo and behold, it was issued with the traffic circle.â&#x20AC;? He said the motion on the committee agenda specifically said a new building would be located in the vicinity of the traffic circle. He said he wouldn't support that location. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I'm not going to support
any new fire building that's going to be located in that area based on the fact that the residents of North Marysburgh are going to be very much affected by the service delivery if that is the new location,â&#x20AC;? he said. Quaiff said currently a fire station on the heights responds to emergencies in North Marysburgh. He said under the nine-station plan that site would be closed in favour of the site in the vicinity of the traffic circle, which would increase response times. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's going to have to go up one of the hills in order to get out to there and it's going to take a longer period of time, the same as if
there's a fire on Glenora Road or up on Lake on the Mountain,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Ś As far as I'm concerned we are not being serviced properly and I'm not going to support any notion of that building going up at the traffic circle.â&#x20AC;? Councillor Jamie Forrester said his concern was that it seemed council had already decided to build new fire stations without knowing the full cost. He said there's a lot within the nine-station plan he doesn't agree with and â&#x20AC;&#x153;would be naive to think this will all turn out nicely.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know we have to upgrade our stations, but this is pretty much saying
we're going to go ahead, we're going to spend a lot of money to come up with a plan and then council will be presented with it,â&#x20AC;? Forrester said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then we'll pretty much be in a situation, 'how can we not vote for a plan that we've had all this input in' and it will be pushed through.â&#x20AC;? Councillor Barry Turpin said the motion on the agenda was simply selecting a project manager and wouldn't bind council to anything. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the contract to them. The scope of (the work) is there, but they're going to be doing it in stages and they'll come back and report and if something
brings the report forward â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and we're not locked into anything the consultant brings forward â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it comes back to this council for a yes or a no,â&#x20AC;? he said. In response to Quaiff, Mertens said the consultant may also come to the conclusion that the vicinity of the traffic circle isn't the right location for a fire station. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At this point in time there's nothing locked in stone. There's direction and that direction was passed by council,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I said it then and I'm saying it again; once it comes back to this council, we â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as a council â&#x20AC;&#x201D; will decide on it.â&#x20AC;?
isn't acceptable or is going to be changed (we can do it),â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The main thing in this motion is to pick a project manager who's going to be in charge of it â&#x20AC;Ś if down the road we say we can't afford that or this some other thing we need to look at, it can be changed.â&#x20AC;? Mertens stood by his words from November. He said the consultant will only do what is instructed by council. He said council already decided to approve the nine-station plan in principle and selecting a project manager was the second part of that motion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the consultant

spin-off spending is valued at $275,000. Councillor Barry Turpin supported the event and granting the use of the community centre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's a great event and the organizers should be given all the support we possibly can. The more people we get in here the more money we're going to make at the canteens,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is going to be some extra revenue coming in and the exposure for us, in showcasing the facility, is going to be a benefit to us.â&#x20AC;? Corporate services and finance commissioner Susan Turnbull said the $95,000 budget includes ice rental and facility costs. Turnbull said there was an offer from the club to share any potential profits or losses, but staff didn't advise taking that route. She said the Dudley Hewitt would be a good

Turnbull said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As the first one, it will be challenging because of some issues, but staff feels strongly that this is an opportunity and we did manage to survive quite well when it came to the Central Canada Cup.â&#x20AC;? Councillor Janice Maynard expressed some concern about the cost to the municipality. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a partnership, but the partnership is just what we might get from the spinoff,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We're giving in-kind, but there's no thoughts of any sharing so we could at least recoup some of our costs. For taxpayers, not everyone gets to reap the benefits.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having an event like this is not, first and foremost, for the Wellington Dukes. This is, first and foremost, for the County of Prince Edward, they're the ones who stand to gain from this financially and in so many ways,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To have something of this magnitude is costly and timeconsuming and, at the end of the day, it's another feather in the cap for the organization.â&#x20AC;? He said the event would present an opportunity to showcase the Wellington and District Community Centre as well as what Prince Edward County has to offer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want the county to be used as much as possible for this whole event; for accommodations, for restaurants,â&#x20AC;? Robinson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's in the shoulder season, so it's ample opportunity for businesses to open up early â&#x20AC;&#x201D; bed and
breakfasts and places like that. There will be a lot of people coming.â&#x20AC;? Robinson said the total budget for the event is in the range of approximately $95,000. He said organizers are projecting attendance throughout the tournament to average about 500 people. He said he expects revenue from gate passes to be around $40,000. He said other revenue would come through advertising, corporate sponsors, and the sale of merchandise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For something of this magnitude our first thought was to break even and then anything after that is kind of like a bonus,â&#x20AC;? he said. Robinson said the budget doesn't take into account any of the spin-off spending for businesses in the county. The report says, using an Ontario Ministry of Tourism and Culture model, the estimated

Council re-examines benefits of staff involvement in Caribbean economic development program Forrester questions costs associated with participation Chad Ibbotson
Staff writer
A motion at last week's committee-of-the-whole meeting to discontinue Prince Edward County's involvement in the Federation of Canadian Municipalities' Caribbean Local Economic Development Program didn't receive much support. Councillor Jamie Forrester called for a motion to discontinue the municipality's involvement in the program â&#x20AC;&#x201D; titled CARILED â&#x20AC;&#x201D; after a brief, but heated discussion revolving around chief administrative officer Merlin Dewing's recent trip to Trinidad to participate in
the program. The motion lost by a wide margin. Councillors voted to participate in the inaugural program in October last year when the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) began implementation of a six-year $23.2 million project to stimulate sustainable local economic development in the Caribbean. The program involved a resource pool of 15â&#x20AC;&#x201C;20 municipalities which would serve as models of expertise. A committee-of-thewhole report dating back to October 2012 says municipalities contributing to the program would learn new practices to improve services at home and abroad. Participants would also expand the reputation of their municipality by assisting other countries in developing sustainable and effective local
services, create links with communities and businesses at a global level, and connecting with other municipal networks. The report says the FCM covers the cost of participant travel, accommodation, meals and other project related expenses. The only caveat being that municipalities donate the time of their experts through salary contribution while they are with the program. Last week's discussion revolved around a memo from the CAO regarding the trip, which Forrester had requested. Forrester said his concern revolved around the cost of the trip. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I originally asked for a report, I get a memo with 38 pages of filler,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Basically what I was looking for is what we were going to do on this trip, what we were doing while we
were there. The information that's provided in this report is the scope of what this program is about. I was hoping for a more detail expense sheet for the costs.â&#x20AC;? Forrester said he was also concerned with the additional workload given to the municipality's two commissioners for the duration of the trip â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which took place from April 13â&#x20AC;&#x201C;27 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; considering the municipality eliminated two commissioner positions last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I'm just wondering if there's a lot of times when we don't have enough people here, if we're putting more pressure on the group that we have,â&#x20AC;? he said. Forrester said he doesn't believe the municipality can afford to have staff participate in the program. He said he believed there was substantial cost to the taxpayers of Prince Edward County.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the end of the day I don't think we should be participating in this program,â&#x20AC;? he said. The memo provided last week pegs the total cost to the County for the trip at $630 due to an acting CAO salary increase of about $368 and gifts of County logo golf shirts and mini maple syrups valued at $180 and $90 respectively. The memo says neither the CAO nor the commissioners derived any overtime benefits as a result of the trip. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is fact that the CAO puts in the required extra time to get the job done and hence, many additional uncompensated overtime hours far in excess of the two weeks will no doubt be worked over the remainder of 2013,â&#x20AC;? the memo says. Dewing said any councillor could come and talk to him about the trip and what
took place if they wish, but councillor Janice Maynard said the discussion should take place in the public forum of a committee or council meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reason I'm asking at this table is because the taxpayer, everybody wants to (know),â&#x20AC;? Maynard said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I'm just asking questions about what took place while you were on your mission.â&#x20AC;? Dewing elected not to comment, stating the issue had become too personal to deal with in open session. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I'm not dealing with the issue in this manner. It's got too personal already and the project has already been approved by council,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you don't want Prince Edward County to participate, disengage. But stop harassing me about it.â&#x20AC;? At that point Forrester put the motion to disengage on the table, but the motion lost.
although he had initially been thinking much bigger, the signs would be smaller than regular speed limit signs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The signage will promote local businesses to tourists year round and work as a training aid for local county residents and visitors,â&#x20AC;? Houghton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;More than 300 county residents participated in the County Marathon last year.â&#x20AC;? He said the County Marathon feels very strongly about the idea. He said part of the reason for the permanent signage is the temporary signs often blow over and must be fixed. He said the markers are necessary in order for participants to qualify for the Boston Marathon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year, with the wind
we do get down here a lot of times in Prince Edward, signs were just getting blown over and it became pretty dangerous and it just didn't look right to me,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we got the idea to put permanent signs, it just meant it would be safer, it would look professional, it's there for county residents who run.â&#x20AC;? Councillor Keith MacDonald said he would support the race committee's request and urged councillors to approve the signage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I've watched (the marathon) for the last 10 years, it's a great economic driver for the County of Prince Edward. It brings in a ton of people in here; restaurants are full, motels are full,
and I think we should totally support this,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That sign is very well done, it stands out, and the size doesn't bother me at all.â&#x20AC;? Councillor Nick Nowitski said the size did bother him. He said he would like to see something similar to the Loyalist Parkway markers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could probably go with those because they're noticeable, but not in-your-face,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's way too big.â&#x20AC;? Nowitski said a permitting process for the signs could also present a problem. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you're going to permit these things, the people with the fingerboards are going to be upset because they're
actually paying to have signs put up on a permanent basis and these people are getting
it free,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We're going to have some backlash there.â&#x20AC;?
McAuley said there may be a reason why more municipalities don't have similar permanent marathon signage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We may be a leader, we may also not be aware of what other road authorities have experienced with this kind of thing. We need to do some research,â&#x20AC;? he said. Additionally, McAuley said the race committee would have to apply for permits for the signs in order to comply with the municipal sign bylaw. Houghton said each kilometre marker sign would be accompanied by a separate sponsor sign. The posts would be erected at no cost to the municipality. He said
