When considering clinical studies about successful rehabilitation options for cardiac patients, Prince Edward Family Health Team physicians discovered a barrier to treatment. Dr. Phil Wattam, the head of the team's congestive heart failure clinic explained those studies indicate a lifechanging rehab program has much better results than medicine for improving heart health. The trouble was such programs only existed in larger centres like in Kingston or in Ottawa and many patients found access to be prohibitive. "There's a fairly high rate of cardiac disease in Prince Edward-Hastings," he said. "We've seen patients here who have had events — either a bypass, valve surgery, or a heart attack who would clearly benefit from structured cardiac rehab, but they just haven't been able to make the trip back to Kingston or elsewhere for this." The Family Health Team noticed that fact so they started envisioning what a program might look like here in the county. Wattam, clinical nurse co-ordinator Mary Stever, and family physician Steve Blanchard consulted with Hotel Dieu Hospital in Kingston and the Ottawa Heart Institute, who also offer a similar program, to mentor them along. Blanchard agreed his patients saw the need for

such a program locally. "My experience personally is that very few of my patients, when offered the program who needed it were able to travel back and forth to Kingston twice a week for the 12 weeks to attend the program they were offered," he said. Last month, with help from the Prince Edward Fitness and Aquatics Centre (PEFAC), who offered space at its facility for reduced fee, Prince Edward Ambulatory Cardiac Health (PEACH) started under the direction of Blanchard, who filled in for the required physiothera-
pist, cardiac rehabilitation registered nurse Cathy Brose, and community planner Wanda Parks. Participants, including PEFHT executive director Duff Sprague, have been involved in a regimented and supervised exercise program over the past eight weeks. Brose said in that short time, they have seen strength, balance, and energy improvements with each participant. Many even attended a barbecue to formally launch the program Tuesday. Wattam said the program involves more than just exer-
cise, but also education about diet and control of blood pressure, lipids, or diabetes. The whole plan focuses on lifestyle changes. "It is well proven it will actually save lives, it improves the quality of life for participants and improves the chances of them getting back to their normal activities or work," he said. According to the PEFHT, the need for such a program is immense. Blanchard said in searching a database of local patients, they discovered more than 1,000 have suffered from some distinct
event or have some form of a coronary disease. It became evident quickly that this would become a major program and there is already a waiting list. With Blanchard filling in and PEFAC eagerly offering support, the program is off and running, but the PEFHT realized it would need more support. It needed funding for a dedicated physiotherapist and it also needed a secondary location with main-floor or elevator access and equipment to grow the program.

A restructuring within the municipality's water and wastewater department will simultaneously look to provide sustainability and improve service. The municipality announced last week that it has taken its initial steps toward long-term sustainability within the corporation with the restructuring of the water and wastewater department. A May 18 press release
says the department is being restructured to “improve services for water and wastewater users as well as improve departmental organization to meet operational demands.” In order to make those improvements the release says the municipality will look to centralize county services, closing the water and wastewater office located at 37 Church Street in Picton. The release says the closure will affect staff.
P U L L - O U T
R E A L
“A number of staff positions have been impacted by the realignment and the County is doing its utmost to provide support and assistance to all individuals involved,” the release says. “While some positions have been eliminated, others have been created and existing staff will have access to new and different employment opportunities.” Mayor Peter Mertens said at this point the municipality is uncertain if the process will eliminate

any jobs. He said the focus of the exercise is to increase efficiency. “We're eliminating that building because very few people were there in any event,” he said. “The main reason for the reorganization is that we're splitting off water from wastewater. The people will require qualifications for the water or wastewater side of it. Up to this point we were hiring people needed to be certified in both disciplines.” He said this made find-

ing and hiring qualified staff extremely difficult. He said the change would make that process easier and could open up opportunities for people from Prince Edward County who have a background in either water or wastewater to apply for jobs, where in the past they would not have been considered. Mertens said the municipality will be looking to centralize services wherever possible.

Bylaw gives municipality chance to attract youth, save money
Early retirement incentive for County staff Chad Ibbotson
Staff writer
Municipal employees contemplating retirement will now have more reason to do so. On Tuesday council approved the creation of an early retirement incentive plan intended to encourage voluntary early retirement from the municipality with a reduced impact to their financial health and to “effectively manage staff replacement and succession planning for the municipality,� the report submitted to councillors says. The report says the bylaw provides an opportunity for some the municipality's longest serving employees to retire with the objective being to help the municipality achieve its fiscal responsibilities while reducing the finan-
cial impact of retirement on the employee. Employees who are eligible to receive an immediate Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System (OMERS) pension will be entitled to one per cent of their annual base salary per year of service. The incentive funds will be paid out over a four-year period in equal annual installments that will commence upon retirement. To be eligible for the incentive plan, employees must also apply at least three months prior to their proposed early retirement date, must be a permanent employee of the municipality and must be within 10 years of their normal retirement age. Approval of the applications will be at the full discretion of the municipality. Mayor Peter Mertens said there may be people working
for the municipality who have been there for many years, but aren't sure about retiring. He said this may help them decide. “They would like to retire but, for one reason or another, they haven't made up their mind yet,� he said. “This is a good incentive for them to do it sooner rather than later.� Mertens said this would also benefit the municipality because it give those who are already considering retirement a chance to do so while at the same time allowing younger employees to step up. “It's our most senior people and these are people that have been around the longest, they're the highest paid,� he said. “It opens up opportunities for younger people to step into positions and often at less money.�

Lots on display at annual Macaulay Lilac Festival Identification clinic a highlight at opening AdAm BrAmBurger Staff writer
There was plenty more than blossoms on display Saturday as Macaulay House kicked off the season at its annual Lilac Festival. Throughout the day, the grounds were turned into a treasure trove for those interested in time-honoured crafts and antiques. On the front lawn, members of the Cold Creek Wood Carvers showed off some of their finest work and created a number of wooden feathers to hand out to passersby. Across from them, artist -in-residence Judy Plomer showed off the vibrant colours of some of her paintings of lilacs, while Maia Heissler continued to dip her beeswax candles to the delight of guests, though maybe not herself since the warmth made it tough for the wax to dry. All around the grounds, artisans plied their wares for enthusiastic customers. In the stone room at the back of the historic house, members of the Prince Edward County Quilter’s Guild were busy selling raffle tickets for a handmade Victorian Rose Garden raffle quilt and sharing news of their upcoming show in a new venue at the Wellington and District Recreation Centre July 7-8. Past-president Jane Cunningham said she felt the festival was well worth

attending this year. “The venue is excellent. I really like the stone room for displaying quilts,� she said. “Traffic was a bit slower this morning, but it really picked up throughout the afternoon.� One of the most popular destinations for that traffic was Derek Cooke’s table. With an invitation from head curator Jennifer Lyons, Cook set up an antique identification clinic which allowed people to bring their cherished items or curiosities to be evaluated. “I try to tell them what they have, how to research it, and how to date it,� said Cooke, whose background includes 35 years in heritage
fields including time as a museum curator and experience evaluating pieces from the 18-20th Centuries. With the value of programs like the Antiques Roadshow, Cooke said a lot of people were interested in getting down to the basic financial value of pieces, but he said that’s not always easy to come by. “Value is not always financial,� he said. “An item can have value for family connections, memories, or local heritage.� Cooke said he enjoys hearing stories about items, noting each can give some insight about the families who had them or why they ended up in the region where
ReturntoLearn
they reside. Often, he says, he’ll give people the best news he can about monetary value, listing the range they can expect, and he also directs them to the information he’s used in his research. He said the fact that he isn’t a dealer usually allows people to be more honest with him and if he finds he doesn’t know about an item, Cooke isn’t afraid to say so. Some of the more interesting items he saw included a novelty yes/no teddy bear from the 1920s, a half-model of a schooner used in shipbuilding in the Waupoos area, and a Beatles ticket saved from a Maple Leaf Gardens engagement. Cooke says he’s traveled to museums across Canada to offer clinics and he’s always found himself amazed by something there. “Recently in Yellowknife, I did a show and a couple items made my knees go weak,� he said. “They were objects related to the British military in the 1840s.� Among them was a writing set issued by Queen Victoria as well as some rare oil paintings. Cooke said he hopes to do more with local museums in the future. Meanwhile, for all the new attractions, volunteers reported a number of new faces — many from within the county — coming to look at the house itself. “It’s been very steady through the house all day,� said Friends of Macaulay Heritage Park chair Nancy Hezlep Woods, who was demonstrating bread baking. “ Lots of people have come in. We’ve had a great day.�

Structure of new community development commission receives approval Councillors Proctor, Shortt, Taste and PECCTAC reps, and three citizens at large to sit as newly constituted body Chad Ibbotson
Staff writer
Council has approved the creation of the community development department and has chosen the municipality's representatives for the community development commission. While the ultimate structure of the community development department will be addressed as part of the municipality's organizational review, the community development commission will consist of two councillors — Barbara Proctor and Terry Shortt — one member from Taste the County, one member from the Prince
with an opportunity for applications within the next two to three weeks,” he said. The commission, once constructed, will look to create collaborative partnerships in a leadership role and, with other local service providers will explore: The partners' mandates, roles and service delivery to interpret duplication, redundancy and gaps in local service support and delivery; create a strategic plan; decide on objectives and division of responsibilities and allocation of funding to eliminate duplication and gaps in community services and program delivery; and be the real estate arm of the municipality.
Edward County Chamber of Tourism and Commerce and three additional members who will reflect the diversity of the community. Mayor Peter Mertens said the commission will make recommendations on the overall economic development strategy, but he said as of now the commission has a rough mandate with a lot of details yet to be fleshed out. He said the municipality would be releasing more information about the commission in the coming days and then will ask volunteers to submit applications for an opportunity to sit on the commission. “We hope to follow it up

The commission would look to “foster and assess potential relationships and networks regionally, provincially and federally while maintaining an interest in global issues,” and would look to complete more work with the same amount of funding. The commission will also recommend municipal financial resources required for community development to council; recommend community and economic development policy, programming and action planning; explore opportunities to infuse financial stability into the county’s built heritage attractions, non-profit and volunteer organizations. Commission members will serve without remuneration and will not directly or indirectly receive any profit from the position. The commission will prepare an annual business plan/budget and will annually recommend council’s approval of the annual business plan and current year budget that will confirm the operating budget, the updated five-year capital program, the revenue budget, and associated fees and charges. While the creation of the department and commission was approved by a wide majority, a few councillors were concerned with both

isn't a solution, but a way to get to the solution. “This is the vehicle to achieve the solution. What we've done is substantially slow down our movement forward in order to consult with as many people as possible, as many agencies as possible,” he said. “What the commission is going to do as part of it's mandate is create the plan.” Dewing said if the application process doesn't yield the type of diversity council is seeking for the commission, the next step would be to directly solicit members from specific areas. “I'm hoping that through the application process you will see a natural fit with certain people,” he said. “If that doesn't happen you have to go back to the drawing board and say I need someone from this sector or that sector.”
Council decided Tuesday evening to reinstate the budget for the Wellington Cemetery board after it was cut from the budget during deliberations in March. The Wellington Cemetery board had requested $6,000, but did not know they were required to make a deputation to council to say why the money was needed or what it would be used for. Cemetery board chair Paul Greer asked council at a May 10 committee-of-thewhole meeting to reinstate the money, saying the board had now idea they needed to make a deputation as it was common practice for them to receive the money without doing so. “Just after the budget was

passed we realized our funding had been cut,” Greer said at the meeting. “One thing I want to make clear is Wellington Cemetery is owned by the municipality, but our board just helps oversee and manage what happens there as far as maintenance and care.” The board was asking for $6,000 after deciding that amount would be enough to complete the cemetery's obligations for the year. “In May we still feel that's the number that's going to get us through,” he said. “If we thought we needed to make a deputation we would have. I would have gladly come down and spoken to council. In the last few years we've never had to do that.”

On Tuesday council, without much discussion, approved an over-expenditure in the community, hospital, tourism and council grants 2012 budget by the amount of the grant. Mayor Peter Mertens said it was important to replace the funding. “Had (the board) realized what was involved, had they realized what was happening, they would have been here to speak to it the first time around and clearly it wouldn't have been cut from the budget,” he said. “All we were doing today was doing what's right to restore it.” Mertens said the cemetery board is a volunteer group that works hard to maintain the cemetery and is able to do so, in many ways, at a lower cost than the municipality may be able to. “It would be really devastating to them to lose that money and council saw that, so there was very little discussion,” he said. “When you have cemeteries like Glenwood or Wellington that are being operated, managed, and looked after primarily by volunteers, who do a phenomenal job — that's what we should be encouraging.”

the composition of the commission as well as the status of the overall strategic plan for economic development. Councillor Jamie Forrester said a year ago council asked for the strategic plan for economic development. “I have no problem with the commission and I think it's great to have all the local businesses work together, but it still doesn't address an economic plan,” he said. “…Where is my economic development plan we were promised last year?” Councillor Brian Marisett wanted to make sure every area of the county's economy is included equitably in the composition of the commission. “I want to ensure that all the pillars are represented,” he said.

PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY
Looking back in the
Picton Gazette 80 years ago — 1932
■ Ontario’s premier, George S. Henry, confirmed he would be speaking at the gathering of a United Empire Loyalist pilgrimage to be held at Carrying Place on Dominion Day that July. ■ St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Picton was busy appointing committees and making plans to celebrate its 100th anniversary in 1933. The committees would be preparing to stage a weeklong celebration the following July. ■ One family was very lucky to avoid Victoria Day tragedy. Some youth were playing with firecrackers when they tied one to the tail of their pet collie. The firecracker ignited and exploded. Concerned her dog’s curly hair would catch on fire, a young girl was crying when her parents arrived and pulled the dog from their home. Neither the dog nor the house caught fire in the incident.
50 years ago — 1962
■ MPP Whitney Norris announced the technical addition proposed for PECI had been approved at Queen’s Park. Tenders for the project were to be called in June with hopes the addition would open in 1963. The federal and provincial governments agreed to finance the construction project in its entirety, and premier John Robarts boasted of the jobs that created. ■ Douglas Alkenbrack emerged as the candidate for the Prince Edward-Lennox Federal Progressive Conservatives as he beat fellow Napanee natives Clarence Milligan and George Tustin on the first ballot. Both Milligan and Tustin had served previously as MPs in the riding. .■ Rev. R.B. Deblois Wright, the rector at St. Mary Magdalene Anglican Church asked all members of his congregation to start bringing their Bibles to church. .
30 years ago — 1982
■ Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital chair Ted Rutter told guests at its 60th annual meeting that a $420,000 air conditioning project had been completed and the hospital board was about to turn its attention toward an expansion of the X-ray department. ■ While County councillors expressed satisfaction with the way their municipalities offer library services, they voted to investigate the formation of a County system, particularly give then prospect of a $25,000 provincial grant for the study. ■ County council and CUPE negotiators representing local roads workers came to terms on a contract offering about a 24per-cent wage hike over its two-year term.
10 years ago — 2002
■ Prince Edward-Hastings MPP Ernie Parsons took on a new role in Dalton McGuinty’s shadow cabinet as he became critic for the Ministry of Natural Resources. Parsons had some background with MNR issues including the Bay of Quinte walleye fishery and the Muscote Bay duck hunt, and also some resource management issues in the north. ■ The sand dunes and beach at the end of Bakker’s Road were to be restored under the direction of Quinte Conservation after a developer removed the dunes without proper permission. ■ Quinte Health Care was optimistic four physicians touring its facilities would sign on to practice medicine within the region. Two were family physicians.

It is among the mid-May warbler arrivals at Prince Edward Point — not as early as those who flirt with late April, but not as late either as the mourning or blackpoll warblers that traditionally arrive during the latter part of the month. Sort of in between, although several showed up this spring as early as May 3. Those who keep track of migrant dates, already know that this was an unusual spring. Few migrants respected average arrival dates this spring and surprised many with their early appearances, some two weeks ahead of schedule. When the Tennessee warblers arrived early this month in the Point Traverse Woods, we didn’t have to see them to know they were here. We simply had to watch for any vibrating twigs and listen for a vibrant, energetic song. The Tennessee warbler arrives from Central America and northern South America with an energy that must be seen and heard to be appreciated. Its loud and determined staccato is delivered with such exuberance that the bird actually shakes from the effort, causing the leaves around it to tremble. We heard the first individual as we rounded a corner in the trail that winds its way through the prickly ash and ironwoods of the Point Traverse Woods. Its energetic “ticka, ticka, ticka, ticka, swit swit, sitsit-sit-sit-sit-sit” is quite unlike the songs of any of the other 35 species of warblers that pass through this tip of Prince Edward County, and on a quiet morning, echoes through the trees, drowning out the songs of the rose-breasted grosbeaks and scarlet tanagers. It is a good

thing that the bird has such a memorable song, for compared to the brilliant colours of our other warbler species, the Tennessee pales by comparison, looking more like a drab, olivegrey vireo. It is a specialist — a spruce budworm specialist to be exact, and it is on its way to the boreal forests where it will nest upon arrival. Its presence at Prince Edward Point is only temporary and the ones we saw have likely moved on by now. Incredibly, over 90 per cent of the global population of Tennessee warblers breeds in Canada’s boreal forests. The population there fluctuates as it is a specialty feeder during the nesting season, responding to periodic outbreaks of spruce budworm caterpillars, on which the species is a well-documented feeder. During budworm epidemics, populations of these little voracious budworm eaters may exceed 500 birds/100 hectares, although aerial spraying of chemical insecticides to control the insect
negatively impacts the survival and reproductive success of Tennessees. We are already familiar with another spruce budworm connoisseur, the evening grosbeak. No, sunflower seeds are not their favourite food. They relishes spruce budworms too, mainly to feed their young, and since there hasn’t been a major outbreak of spruce budworm since the 1970s, these bird feeder favourites have plummeted in numbers from the days when we used to have to buy sunflower seed by the bagful to satisfy the appetites of these huge birds. But, let’s get back to the Tennessee warbler. What is a bird with a name like that doing here in Prince Edward County every spring in the first place? Despite its misleading name, the Tennessee warbler neither breeds nor over-winters in the state of Tennessee. The bird was named by Alexander Wilson (his name crops up too in the naming of our Wilson’s snipe), in 1832, when he first discovered the bird, in Tennessee. Specimen collecting was popular back then, and he collected an individual which happened to be passing through the state midway in its migration between the tropical forests of Mexico and Central America and the Canadian boreal forest. Had it not first been discovered in Tennessee, the bird could well have been named the “coffee warbler,” for that is surely where if often overwinters, in the coffee plantations of Latin America. It was many years though, after the bird was named, that it was even known where the Tennessee warbler spent the summer. It wasn’t until the
early 1900s that nests were found in Canada, and we now know that its breeding range stretches right across boreal Canada, from British Columbia to New Brunswick. While its food preference is the spruce budworm caterpillar, the bird isn’t so specialized that it cannot resort to other foods. It does so very well, feeding during migration on other insects and spiders, and when in its wintering grounds, feasting on fruit and flower nectar. However, when on its breeding grounds, it’s the spruce budworm that is the caviar for a brief period each year. And before arriving there, we have the pleasure of listening to its energetic song during the last week or so of May as it works its way northward. Next year, in mid-May, be sure to check out any tree leaves that are vibrating. Behind those leaves, will be a bird who makes up for his unassuming appearance with energy and song. Thank you to those who attended our Spring Birding Festival last week. It is always great to see birders from across Ontario, as well as from other provinces and the northern U.S., joining us at this spectacular event which is now giving Point Pelee a run for its money. Nice to see author/naturalist/photographer Michael Runtz of the Kingston area so involved in the festival this year.
say is the victim pulled off Hwy 401 near Cobourg, only to be followed, where a heated altercation occurred. One of the suspects allegedly jumped on the victim’s car, while another, the driver, threatened to shoot with a concealed weapon hidden under his shirt. Friends of the suspects arrived at the off-ramp in a
third vehicle, allowing the victim to flee the scene and call police. A bulletin was put out to all area police forces with descriptions of the suspect vehicles from the incident. Before 5 p.m. Prince Edward OPP officers spotted the vehicles in the parking lot at Sandbanks and searched the park with the assistance of park wardens. The suspects were found
on the beach. Tactical officers conducted a high-risk takedown and found no guns. A Scarborough man faces assault, uttering threats and mischief charges. A second Scaborough man faces mischief charges, while a Toronto man faces a breach of recognizance charge following the incident.

Awareness, strength in numbers helpful to eliminate hate
CALL it strength in numbers. Just hours after last week’s Gazette hit the streets with the horrible photo of the graffiti painted across the entrance of Lorraine McConnell’s home screaming “die dyke” several times, local residents took to social media to say that type of cowardly act isn’t welcome in this community and to offer McConnell support and help cleaning up her own home. While we’re certain that McConnell appreciated the backing, it’s almost certain that she would rather have not spread her news and been the subject of a story. No one should have to deal with such hatred or have to share that experience with those around her, those with empathy and those without. Given that she did have to deal with it, McConnell can be applauded for choosing not to deal with this most brutal, hate-filled crime on her own. Similarly, those residents on County Rd. 1 who had their peace shattered by having their homes defaced with less personal, albeit still hurtful messages, and those downtown business people who have also seen a rash of vulgarity painted on their property deserve applause and support for stepping forward and letting people become aware that something has happened here. Most forms of bullying, abuse, and hatred occur because the perpetrators believe they can elicit a reaction and because they believe they can get away with it because no one is going to step forward and end it because of fears of retaliation or ongoing torment. People in this community are showing that they aren’t afraid and they’re ready to stand up and ensure their home and community is a place where people can be free to live, just as they should be. Far too many such incidents have been shoved under the rug in communities around the world, and although attention can also bring about the possibility of copycat incidents, it is in that darkness which hatred blossoms and grows. Awareness is always a good first step to problem solving, but the challenge now is to build upon that awareness to start ensuring that such acts don’t take place again. That certainly isn’t a call for some sort of vigilante justice, but maybe it is time to consider neighbourhood watch groups, community policing, and similar initiatives, if not some kind of public database, which reveals that these types of scary incidents do indeed happen everywhere. Demonstrations, education events, and other public rallies to ensure that people feel safe and included would also be welcomed, even if only to show younger generations that bullying and hatred doesn’t have to be something they live with, it is something that can be limited in the future — and, to their credit, many schools today do a much better job sending that message than ever before, albeit in a seemingly larger, more ominous world. The bottom line is that we need people like McConnell and those who came to her support. By not staying silent, they are making a difference.

Author to launch Laura Secord bio at Wellington library
The County of Prince Edward Public Library & Archives invites the community to the book launch for Peggy Dymond Leavey’s latest work Laura Secord; Heroine of the War of 1812. The event takes place this Sunday, May 27 at 2 p.m. in the meeting room downstairs at the Wellington Branch Library. Leavey, a well-known author of books for younger readers, is also the author of three non-fiction titles for adults, including The Movie Years – Trenton 1917-1934, Mary Pickford: Canada's Silent Siren, America's Sweetheart and this newest title about Laura Secord. Publisher Dundurn Press approached Leavey and asked if she would consider writing the biography following the author’s previous wellreceived work which featured film star Mary Pickford. “When they asked me if I'd be interested in writing a biography of Laura Secord,” says Leavey, “I knew I couldn't turn down the opportunity to work with Dundurn again.” The publisher explained that the book had to be written in six months in order to coincide with the first of the bicentennial celebrations of the War of 1812. “That sounded a little daunting at first,” she admits “but I'd said I was up to the challenge. And we made it!” In fact, the manuscript was written a little ahead of schedule. The subject of the book, Laura Secord, whose name often brings to mind chocolate and ice cream, is in fact the famous Canadian best known for warning British forces of an impending American attack that led to the British victory at the Battle of Beaver Dams. Secord is also one of few prominent females in history books. It was not, however, her obvious courage and perseverance that most intrigued the Leavey as she researched her new book. “Most fascinating for me was discovering details of the everyday life of this legendary heroine,” explains Leavey. “Not her heroism but the things that made her "real." For example, the author discovered that Secord
InsIde the lIbrary CHRISTINE RENAUD
worked in a tavern when she first came to Upper Canada. She came from Massachusetts with her father, stepmother and younger siblings when she was 20, in 1795. “While he cleared land in the Thames Valley and built a house for the family, her father ran a tavern in the town of Queenston,” explains Leavey. “Everyone in the family old enough to work, helped out in the tavern. It was most likely there that Laura met James Secord, a shopkeeper from nearby St. Davids.” After the couple was married, they shared their home with James's store. The merchandise he sold was displayed in the front windows of the house. “Another example of the ordinary life of Laura Secord was how, when her seven children were grown, she hoped to get a job as caretaker of Brock's Monument at Queenston Heights. The position would require her to collect admission, act as tour guide, and sell refreshments. When someone else got the job, Laura was bitterly disappointed. “It's the little details like these, I think, that make her story interesting,” says the author. At the official book launch this Sunday, Peggy Dymond Leavey will talk briefly about the book, read a short excerpt from it and answer questions from the audience. Copies of the book will be available for purchase and the author will sign copies as well. Refreshments will be served. This is a free event and all are welcome.
Smith partners with Liberal to help real estate agents
With the help of a politician on the other side of the aisle at Queen’s Park, Prince Edward-Hastings MPP Todd Smith said he’s put forward a bill to help real estate agents do business. Seconded by Ottawa Centre Liberal Yasir Naqvi, Smith’s private member’s bill would effectively limit e-Commerce regulations that prevent real estate agents from using electronic signatures on agreements for sales, purchases and transfers of land. Smith said he hopes the bipartisan origins of the bill
BROWNIES BRUSH UP ON BIKE SAFETY The Picton Gazette
will give it a chance to pass, helping realtors cut down red tape in their business. “Our regulations need to make sense and keep up with the advances we’re making in technology,” said Smith. “Here we had a piece of regulation that was holding back our real estate sector and it was time to remove it. When you have a common sense piece of law like this, it makes sense to work with the other parties and gain their support.” -Staff
The 1st Demorestville Brownies recently invited Prince Edward OPP community services officer Const. Kim Guthrie to speak with them about bicycle safety. Brown Owl Jennifer Wilson and Tawny Owl Darlene Gould requested Guthrie have a proactive talk with the troop about bicycle safety. On May 15, the girls learned about proper helmet fittings, hand signals, and safe riding rules. Each Brownie was also put through her paces on a mock street and intersection, where they had to negotiate their bicycles through a controlled course to demonstrate the knowledge she had learned.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Lilac Festival was well-run, enjoyable endeavour
I wish to share my delightful experience as a firsttime charity vendor at this year's Lilac Festival with your community of readers. I worked with Jennifer Lyons who competently answered every question I had so that I was properly prepared for this event. She answered every e-mail promptly and when I arrived on site at 7 a.m, she and her amazing staff of
volunteers had signs and tables for all vendors laid out around this expansive property. Everything was superbly organized and so many \knowledgeable volunteers were at the ready to represent our amazing museum to the public. I was so impressed by the museum volunteers who were dressed in costume cooking over the hearth and giving tours,
and by the women selling under-priced, scrumptious homemade goodies to tourists and local residents. The camaraderie and enthusiasm amongst all the vendors and participants was apparent to all visitors who left with wonderful plants, goodies, crafts and a respect for this group of local people who on a sunny long weekend were willing to share their belief that history matters.
I applaud this group of hard working individuals who made me feel so welcome. During this time of fiscal restraint, I certainly felt the small contribution that I was asked to make was most reasonable. I hope even more people will take advantage of this unique opportunity next year.
The Friends of Macaulay Heritage Park would like to thank everyone - visitor, demonstrator and vendor, who came to the May 19 Lilac day to help us kick off the 2012 museum season. This historic site continues to thrive because of the positive working relationships between the volunteers, staff, and students. Each individual has unique ideas and skills which when shared form
the base of a strong working group. This is true of all of the Museums of Prince Edward County and is one of the primary reasons the Museums have such an important place in our community. Thanks also to CountyLive, the Wellington Times and other media groups in the area who are working with us to promote and inform the public of the unique resources available to
all of us at Prince Edward County Museums. (Ameliasburgh Historical Village, Macaulay Heritage Park, Mariner's Park Museum, Rose House Museum and Wellington Heritage Museum) We encourage you to visit, and learn more about the development of this area which has welcomed so many and whose history is the foundation upon which our future is built.
Attending a special event at a museum is only one of many reasons to visit. Come and check out some of the revitalized and new exhibits at each site. You may be pleasantly surprised to find something that has a direct connection to you, your family, your generation.

Herons on the county’s south shore will be just fine
Jim McPherson wrote passionately about his concern over the dangers the county’s blue herons face from wpd’s proposed wind farm (“What will happen to the herons in the south?”, April 26). He predicts dire consequences and writes “Just imagine the effect that industrial wind turbines will have on a County heron’s life: almost certain deaths in their families.” His comment piqued my curiosity and stimulated me to look into the question “Do wind farms kill herons?”
The obvious place to start looking for answers seemed to be Wolfe Island. Eight species of heron appear on the list of birds found on Wolfe Island (http://www.wolfeisland.co m/mtbirdwatching/images /birdsofwolfeisland_04.pdf). Six of the eight have been known to breed in the Kingston area and include : great blue heron; green heron, black-crowned nightheron ( http://www.kingstonfieldnaturalists.org/checklists/ki ngstonbirds.pdf ).
A detailed analysis of the bird deaths attributable to the Wolfe Island wind farm can be found in the half yearly post-onstruction monitoring reports that Trans Alta is required to produce. I checked only the most recent four of these reports but found that in the two year period July 2009 to June 2011 not a single heron appears in the summary tables of bird fatalities by species. See for yourself at: http://www.transalta.com/ sites/default/files/PCFP_R eport5_Dec2011.pdf and
http://www.transalta.com/ facilities/plants-operation/wolfe-island/pastreports. While it seems a pity to let facts stand in the way of a good scare story, the fact that Wolfe Island wind turbines do not seem to be killing herons casts serious doubt on the dire threat of “almost certain deaths” that Jim fears. Jim and other heron fans (I am one of them) should feel reassured. Rob Williams Athol

The municipality's new acting chief administrative officer program got off the ground last week with the selection of the initiative's first candidates. Prince Edward County CAO Merlin Dewing announced late last week he has chosen the staff members who will participate in the program. The successful candidates are treasurer James Hepburn, public works commissioner Robert McAuley and corporate services and finance commissioner Susan Turnbull. The program's application process was open to all municipal employees. The new program will make sure that services and municipal business will continue unimpeded in the event that the CAO is away. A press release issue on May 18 said the new program is “intended to support a succession plan strategy and maintain the delivery of continuous customer service excellence during absences of the CAO.” Acting CAOs will be appointed for fixed time frames and during that time will have all the power and authority of the CAO, ensuring their ability to effectively manage staff, municipal operations and act on direction from council in a timely manner while the CAO is away. The press release says any additional cost to the municipality due to the program is minimal because acting CAO pay will apply only to the period that the appointments are in effect. “The program is intended to commence immediately with acting CAOs being appointed on an asneeded basis,” the release says. “Participants will also be assigned special projects throughout the year, which will be completed individually or as a group, and are specifically intended to provide advanced professional development oppor-

tunities.” Dewing said the candidates have already shown their capabilities in their time with the municipality. “The candidates selected for the acting CAO program have demonstrated administrative excellence since joining the team at the County of Prince Edward,” he said. Dewing said the program will benefit both the municipality and the candidates, who will gain valuable experience. “Their skills, experience, and dedication will provide the leadership necessary to ensure the acting CAO program serves its intended purpose — upholding continuity, authority and steady business flow in the absence of the CAO, while providing them with continuous learning and professional development opportunities,” he said. James Hepburn has been the municipality's treasurer since October 2008, where he has been responsible for financial reporting, budgeting, accounting and treasury. Before joining the County, Hepburn most recently held a position as a senior market analyst for Natural Resources Canada. A Queen's University graduate, Hepburn has spent most of his life in the county and has been actively involved in numerous local organizations. Joining the County in January 2009 was commissioner of corporate services and finance Susan Turnbull. Turnbull has worked with several municipal
governments including the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury as director of finance and treasurer, City of Oshawa as director of financial planning and budgets and the Town of Richmond Hill as director of financial planning. Robert McAuley joined the municipality as commissioner of public works in November 2009. An engineer by trade, McAuley has also been an entrepreneur, consultant, has worked with both large and small private companies, and has been a senior municipal official for many years. McAuley has an extensive background in management with numerous companies and was director of planning and development for the Town of Innisfil. Mayor Peter Mertens said the program would play a significant part in the municipality's plans moving forward. “Succession planning is a primary component of corporate realignment and supports the County’s movement towards municipal sustainability,” he said. Mertens said recruiting for high level positions like the CAO and commissioners can be a difficult and exhaustive process that has the potential to become very costly. “Succession planning mitigates potential recruitment cost by increasing the number of qualified internal candidates and improving the probability of a suitable candidate being recruited locally,” Mertens said. “Council’s support of the acting CAO program demonstrates its commitment to effective, efficient, and sustainable municipal processes.” The release said succession planning wouldn't be “limited to the CAO position, as the corporation is dedicated to identifying and creating opportunities for employees to cultivate capacity from within.”

Del-Gatto carries on family’s old-world winemaking tradition at Cape Vessey

Last week we visited The Grange where we explored the vast barrel room and impressive tasting room. This week we travel to the extreme western part of the county and visit Del-Gatto Estates winery where we encounter yet another unique tasting room. Del-Gatto Estates is family owned and operated, specializing in hybrid grape varieties. Pat Del-Gatto, a fourth generation winemaker, had a long deep-seated desire to own a vineyard and winery. His great greatgrandfather owned a winery in Italy and his grandfather had made wine. Tired of working in the city at a 9-5 job, Pat researched the idea of growing grapes and making wine. Eventually he and his wife, Heidi, gave up their jobs and moved to Prince Edward County where they had purchased a 74-acre property. Pat studied the climate, temperatures and geographical locations of British Columbia, Pelee Island and the Niagara regions. Considering the latitude and longitude of Prince Edward County, temperatures and agricultural history, he knew that this would be a viable location to grow grapes. Del-Gatto Estates is located in the most picturesque part of Cape Vessey, on the north side of County Rd. 8, in the heart of the fruit belt. The winery is a couple kilometers past the Rose House Museum. When you first arrive at the winery they will see a small building called "La Cantina" .... their very unique

tasting room. Outside the tasting room you will see a picnic table, two wood wheelbarrows and colorful Adirondack-style chairs. The two front facing windows of the cottage-style tasting room have window boxes but on closer examination one will note that the windows do not have glass. This venture is truly a family affair. The vineyard was planted by hand, and is maintained by family. Pat’s parents decided to move to Prince Edward County in 2003 to stay close to their grandchildren and to help with the planting and maintenance of the vineyard. In the late winter, the family waits for a warm, sunny day and head out to do their first pruning – kids, thermoses of hot chocolate and coffee and the dog in tow. By the end of April, dehilling and pruning is com-
plete. They then wait for May’s anticipated bud break — that highly stressful moment of truth on the effects of winter’s unpredictable temperatures and snow cover. They carefully assess and train each vine according to its capability. They also take this early growing month to determine their spray schedule, what equipment needs a tune-up, what is required in the way of supplies and an action plan for the season. The summer months of June, July and August are whirlwinds of grass cutting, tying, hedging, spraying, weeding and constant inspection of each vine and its blossoming fruit. In late August/early September, they shift gears and concentrate on the fruit of the vine! Wasp traps are set up throughout the vineyard containing a special sweet mixture to keep the wasps and bees away from the grapes. They also lay down bird netting throughout the vineyard, and erect an electric fence around the perimeter to deter wildlife from scavenging the ripening fruit. By mid-September to mid- October, the grapes are ready for harvesting and they round up the family, armed with bushels and harvesting shears. Rain or shine…. or hail, they pick until it’s done. The final phase in the vineyard is to hill up the vines once again for winter, winterize the equipment and do a last clean up. Meanwhile, energies are transferred to taking
care of the fermenting wines throughout the winter, for next year’s spring release. There are currently over 6 acres of vines planted at DelGatto Estates. White varieties include: Geisenheim (GM322), Chardonnay, Traminette, Frontenac Gris and Seyval Blanc. Red varieties include: St. Croix, Leon Millot, Baco noir, and Frontenac. You may not have heard of some of these varieties, but they guarantee that once you have tried the wines, you will agree that there are indeed other complex and wonderfully enjoyable varieties available other than the mainstream Cabs, Merlots and Pinots. And on this point I can personally attest to that! Almost every time I visit the winery Pat is usually in the field! Their wines are truly hand planted, hand picked and hand crafted. While they now have specialized equipment to keep the weeds at bay; in their first years, they did everything with hand tools. Hand-hoeing still continues but they get a little help from their tractor and grape-hoe. They have indeed succeeded in bringing an authentic feel of Italy to southern Ontario and it is always a pleasure to take a drive over to see Pat and Heidi and enjoy a sip or two of their fine wine. -Joe Hache maintains an independent guide to local wineries at www.princeedwardcountywineries.com.

St. Greg’s students link to ROM programming Toronto museum offers interactive learning sessions twice a week Jason parks Staff writer
Students in Susanne McKerral's Grade 3-4 class at St. Gregory Catholic School have been taking frequent trips to the Royal Ontario Museum — without leaving the comforts of their Owen Street classroom. Through a partnership between the ROM and Contact North, Ontario's Distance and Education Network, an innovative and interactive session is being hosted every Tuesday and Thursday where students and their instructor can be connected with a facilitator at the downtown Toronto museum. Petra Blain, a centre coordinator with Contact
North, said the sessions are open to any Grade 3, 4 or 5 class in Ontario and there is a new theme every month. In April, McKerral's students took in a one-hour session dealing with Medieval time while more recently, a session about rock and minerals was delivered via the information superhighway to their classroom. “It can be quite expensive for a class to go to the museum and through this program, once a month, students can take in an interactive and live session with the ROM,� Blain told the Gazette. “They gain new information and it also confirms what they have been taught and the students seem to really enjoy the atmosphere and the interactiveness.� Blain said the sessions are simple to set up and
while most classes use a Smartboard, the same information can be passed along with a lap top-projectormicrophone and speaker combination. McKerral believes the program is valuable in a number of ways. “The main message is that this program exposes children to different way to approach the same old information and tho think about it in a different way. It exposes them to experts in the field who are able to impress upon the students their knowledge,� McKerral said. McKerral's students said they enjoy the sessions and were eager to share the knowledge they had gained as a result. “My favourite part was when we found out the August birthstone (Peridot) is found on asteroids,� Ally
Careen said. “I like to see how rocks are formed,� added Jackson Fox. Nicholas Thomas said he enjoyed learning about igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks “I liked seeing how the types of rocks changed over time and the way weather and climates have changed them,� said Bridget Finnegan. This year marks the second year the ROM and Contact North have hooked up to provide the sessions. In June, a session on Egypt will be offered and some sessions can be run in French for French language classes or French immersion facilities. For more information on the free sessions or services offered by Contact North, please visit www.elearnnetwork.ca.
Second Terroir Run in Hillier this Sunday
This Sunday, there might be more winery traffic than normal in Hillier — and a fair number will be on foot. To coincide with Saturday’s Terroir celebration, local food enthusiasts Rebecca LeHeup and Andrew Mackenzie will be hosting their second annual Terroir Run on a 10.9 km trek, starting at the Old Third and moving down Closson, Benway, and Greer roads before finishing at Norman Hardie Winery. Other wineries along the route include Lacey Estates, Closson Chase, the Grange of Prince Edward, Karlo Estates, Lift Haus, Hinterland, Rosehall Run and Casa Dea. LeHeup said last spring, she and Mackenzie were looking for a run after noticing the Ottawa halfmarathon was sold out and they happened to be drink-
ing county wine at the time. Thinking of the possibilities, they decided to rush and put together a fun run. Last year, in just over a month, they attracted 32 runners. This year, it appears the run will grow substantially. “We set a target 100 runners and we’re well on our way to achieving that,� said LeHeup late last week. “We want to grow manageably
and not get too big.� Included in a $75 registration is a t-shirt, passes for complimentary tastings at participating wineries, a and a lunch featuring woodfire pizza and a spring greens salad prepared by Cynthia Peters using Vicki’s Veggies. Runners can register at www.terroirrun.com LeHeup said the event is intended to be a mixture of

Five-time Juno Award winner Boyd reinventing herself on small-town tour Picton stop tomorrow part of famed guitarist’s comeback AdAm BrAmBurger Staff writer
Though her career as a classical guitarist afforded her a chance to travel the world, meet royalty, and pack famous opera houses, Liona Boyd says she still fondly remembers her small-town beginnings. The five-time Juno Award winner and Order of Canada honouree so fondly remembers the
reception towns like Picton gave her that she’s eager to tour them as she tries to reinvent herself musically. “I really enjoyed the little towns, there wasn’t as much pressure coming on stage,” she said. “There’s a special, intimate feeling playing in little churches in front of a couple hundred people, you can make eye contact and share moments with the audience.” Previously in her music

career, Boyd had everything going for her. She graduated from the University of Toronto in 1972 and won the Canadian National Music Competition. Following that, she opened for the likes of Gordon Lightfoot and Tracy Chapman and studied under some fine classical guitarists in Europe before developing her own headline performances. “I had for many years an amazing career,” she said. “I played every major city in the world, travelled across Canada many times, and played for every head of state,” she recalled. Then, in 2003, disaster struck. Boyd was diagnosed with musician’s focal dystonia, a neurological condition she explains that after much repetition, the brain fails to communicate with the hands in the same way, which essentially halted her ability to continue with her livelihood. It took her some time to come to grips with the condition and she actually divorced and moved several times around the United States a bit. Eventually, Boyd decided she wasn’t going to give up her music. “I decided I wasn’t going to take that as an answer,” she recalled. “I asked questions and I had to develop a new technique and retrain myself,” she said. She also decided that after not singing for much of her professional career

that she was going to become a singer. “I had talked to people and they said I was a beautiful singer, but I had always felt I was too shy to sing,” she recalled.
During her comeback, it just felt right. Last year, with her ailing father dying Boyd returned to Toronto and she found a new appreciation for Canada and for the second chance she had

to play music. She put together a new album she plans to release this fall and started a tour, one that will bring her to St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. Boyd will be performing with classical guitarist and Spanish folk singer Michael Savona. She said the majority of her portion of the performance will be songs inspired by her homecoming off the CD: The Return... To Canada with Love. She said one of the tracks is called “Little Towns” referring to some of the places who supported her, and another “Aurora Borealis” that features 120 different production tracks. Boyd said she’s as excited for this music as anything she performed earlier in her career, going as far as suggesting the new beginning was the “best thing that ever happened” to her. “I know I have touched people’s hearts with this album,” she said. “It’s the most exciting, ambitious, “tug-at-the-heartstrings” music I’ve done.” She indicated she hopes that people who came out to see her the last time she visited Picton in her career will return to tomorrow’s show, and also hopeful they’ll bring their children so that they might share in the experience. Boyd said she’d be willing to share stories with fans and to sign any items they bring to the show.

Quinte’s Isle hosts bluegrass June 8-10 SEAN TOMLINSON
Staff writer
Quinte's Isle Bluegrass Celebration's fourth rendition will have a distinctly Canadian flavour. This year the festival will be featuring only Canadian talent, with bands like Hard Ryde, the Tebworth Brothers, Grassland and many more. For four years the organizers of the annual celebration have been preaching the virtues of bluegrass. For celebration co-founder and organizer Melissa Sherman it's a passion that started with a fishing trip to Prince Edward County. As composer and manager of Canadian bluegrass band Hard Ryde, Sherman said she fell in love with the county when the band stopped here to go fishing. She said her love of bluegrass and newfound enjoyment of Prince Edward County led to the creation of the event with Hard Ryde member Doug DeBoer and, ultimately, to their move to the county. “We've both been playing bluegrass since we were very young and we're very old now,� Sherman laughed. “We moved here because of the festival, we moved here to show people we were seri-

ous. We fell in love with the county as a band.� She said bluegrass is a small genre of music and it's tough to find in Canada. She said her goal was to change that and the best option was to inspire others to love it as well. “We're trying to get out to younger generations because it's a wonderful type of music,� she said. She said upon creating the event there was some resistance. “People in the county just didn't know who we were or why we wanted to do this,� she said. “Now it's great, there are a lot of what I call 'closet bluegrass lovers.'� She says even though there are a lot of those closet bluegrass lovers, she said there aren't many places they can go to enjoy the music. Another reason for the creation of the event.
She said about an average of 80 trailers come out for the weekend event, but she said she's hoping for a stronger contingent of local visitors. Each year the festival holds a silent auction with proceeds going to the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation. She said even though the festival still operates in the red — with the funding coming out of organizers' pockets — she said it's important to give something back to the community. “We've been giving them a cheque for the past three years and it's climbing,� she said. “This is where we were brought to do it all and we love what the county has to offer. If you put that together with the love of our music it's pretty perfect.� The celebration takes place from June 8-10 at Quinte's Isle Campark.

Ontario is working with producers to assess the damage, determine the implications and develop strategies to help farmers cope. Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, Ted McMeekin, toured a Beamsville orchard today to see firsthand the weather damage affecting Ontario's apple and tender fruit crops. Ontario’s Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, Ted McMeekin discussed frost damage to apple and tender fruit orchards while touring Mountainview Orchards near Beamsville. (LtoR) Rich Feenstra, orchard owner and Ted McMeekin. Early estimates suggest widespread damage to the Ontario apple crop as a result of frost hitting trees already in blossom. Other crops that are reporting significant damage include pears, cherries, peaches, nectarines, apricots and plums. Apple orchards in Georgian Bay and Southwestern Ontario are expected to suffer the greatest damage. The full extent of the province-wide impact will be known in coming weeks. Ontario offers a number of business support programs available to producers to help offset any losses. Supporting our farmers and agricultural industry is part of the McGuinty government's plan to create jobs, grow the economy and provide Ontario families with healthy, local food. QUICK FACTS · Ontario accounts for 40 per cent of all the apples grown in Canada. · Ontario's apple crop has an annual farm gate value of $63 million. · Ontario's tender fruit crops have an annual farm gate value of $40 million.

CONDITIONING YOUR AIR CONDITIONER
A central air conditioning system can provide years of satisfactory cooling with relatively little maintenance. However, a seasonal start-up check and periodic maintenance is recommended. The amount of do-it-yourself air conditioning maintenance a homeowner can do is limited. However, there are a few steps that can help the system operate trouble-free and minimize the potential for consequential damage. Ensuring adequate airflow is perhaps the most important homeowner responsibility. Following manufacturer instructions, homeowners can generally: • Clean or replace the filter(s)
regularly (furnace). • Keep leaves and other debris off the condensing (outdoor) unit. • Keep the condensing coils clean by (very) carefully brushing and hosing them. • Keep shrubs and other plant growth that might obstruct airflow at least 18 inches away from the condenser. • Maintain insulation on ductwork in unconditioned areas if any. • Check the condensate drain for any sign of blockage or leakage. Water should be dripping from the end of this drain line when the unit is running. If no dripping is noted, check at the indoor unit for
tioning technician. A welltrained professional can provide a thorough pre-season or maintenance evaluation and servicing as needed. Insufficiently trained service technicians forsake proper diagnostic procedures and often only perform stop-gap measures to keep a unit going. Such short-sightedness can have a drastic effect on other components leading to consequential failure of the entire system. At a minimum, a technician should: • Check that the system contains the correct amount of refrigerant. • Test for refrigerant leaks. • Check for and seal duct leak-

any signs of leakage. • Keep room input and return registers clear of furniture or other obstructions.
If your air conditioner needs more than the regular maintenance described here, consult a qualified air condi-

Small PECI athletic contingent shows well at area track-and-field meet with fourth overall finish
Panthers haul nine gold medals from Bay of Quinte JASon pArkS
Staff writer
The gold standard for PECI track and field has been set as the local high school track and field team enjoyed its most prolific day in history on Wednesday. Six PECI athletes ran, jumped and threw their way to nine gold medals at the Bay of Quinte Track and Field championships. If the Bay of Quinte Invitational earlier this month was a dress rehearsal and Wednesday's meet was the first performance, the Panthers delivered as intended. The big winner of the day for PECI was Cole Norton who claimed three gold medals in the disciplines of long jump (5.78 m), triple jump (11.18 m) and the 100 m sprint (11.76). Meanwhile, first-year senior Courtney Wilson picked up a pair of top finishes, winning the shot put (9.99 m) and discus (32.71 m) events. Finally, single gold medals went to Brad Reid (senior boys long jump-5.75 m), Mitch Reid (junior boys 200 m -24.42 m), Amanda Whalen (junior girls high jump-1.35 m) and Graysen St. Pierre (midget boys

javelin-34.91 m) “It was a special day individually for our athletes but it was a great day for the team overall,” PECI track-and-field coach Beth Nicholls said. “We couldn't be happier with the results.” PECI, a school without a
track and only rudimentary throwing and jumping facilities, wound up finishing fourth overall. While the contingent of Panthers had small in numbers when compared to track superpower East Northumberland or some other larger Belleville
schools, 34 of 39 athletes performed well enough to move on to the Central Ontario championships today, also taking place at Mary Anne Sills Park in Belleville. PECI's solid finish overall was helped not only by the gold-medal finishes but
also several podium finishes: ■ Along with wining gold in the javelin, St. Pierre has a silver finish in the 400 m dash (59.48) and a bronze in the discus (31.65 m). ■ Mitch Reid had a pair of silvers in the high jump (1.70 m) and long jump
(5.53 m). ■ Junior Cailey Jones picked up a silver in the junior girls discus (20.66 m) and 800 m (2.44:34). ■ Fellow Junior Amanda Ostrander earned a silver in the 100 m (13.99) and chipped in with a fourth in the 200 m (28.88). ■ Seniors Dylan Ostroskie (third in 3,000 m-10:55.80), Mitch Spencer (2nd Javelin-40.74 m), Stacy Williams (second in Javelin-27.84 m) all had solid outings as did midgets Hannah Smith (second in 800 m-2:37.80) and Amber Miller (third in triple jump-9.39 m). ■ Juniors Wes Stakes (second in 3,000 m - 10:01.36) and Emily Arnold (third in high jump - 1.30 m) also made it to the podium. Nicholls agreed with the solid results from the younger students, the track and field culture at PECI is growing in leaps and bounds...and sprints and throws too. “A lot of Grade 9s from last season have really stuck with it this season and excelled at the Junior level and there's a great crop of midgets picking up where the juniors left off,” Nicholls said.

Youth will be served on the Wellington Dukes next fall, but coach and general manager Marty Abrams said that development is nothing for fans to be alarmed about. Saturday and Sunday, the Dukes' brass put about 120 prospects through their paces in two-a-day scrimmage sessions in hopes of filling out the roster. After finding a few pieces he likes, Abrams said he's starting to get a vision of the team he'll ice for 2012-2013. "It's shaping up like the typical Wellington Dukes team we've always had," he said. "There will be a lot of young players here, but that's not all that different than the RBC Cup team two years ago. We had three or four 20 year olds and we'll probably be around that this year." The long-time bench boss said traditionally, county

hockey fans have warmly received teams that work hard and compete for the name on the front of their sweaters. Among Abrams' highlights for the weekend was the notion that the returning players he does have coming back dressed a competed hard along with the hopefuls. "The vets came back with a good frame of mind," he said. "We had a pretty good season last year, we were
pleased with the regular season and just ran into a hot Kingston team that did some good things after us. We had some time to reflect and I can tell they're ready to play." That said, the look will be quite different with 52-goalscorer Darcy Murphy, gritty hometown leader Cam Yuill, and Simon Bessette among the graduates from the forward ranks, while defensive stalwarts Elliott Richardson and David Pratt head to the CIS ranks this fall. Wellington's first major salvo to replace that core group came with the signing of two promising forwards Abrams said really stood out over the weekend. Jake Marchment, who just turned 17 this weekend, of the Clarington Midget AAA Toros, and Mike Soucier, also 17, of the Mississauga AAA Midget Rebels committed to skate at Essroc Arena.

Marchment, Soucier both heavily recruited before committing to Dukes
DUKES, from page 26
Marchment, whose father Wayne previously coached the Dukes and more recently guided division rival Cobourg, was a player the Dukes had coveted for some time. "He's a player who came to camp last year and he was very capable. We would have kept him had our 16-year-old cards not been filled," said Abrams. "He has a big body, he's good around the net and he makes great decisions. He wants to be a Duke and there's a history with his family that's all positive. He'd go through a wall to win and you can't say enough about him." The right-winger Marchment, who measures in at 6'3, 200 lb, was a sixthround draft choice of the OHL Brampton Battalion in 2011, but he has chosen to go the NCAA route, where he has already been offered a full scholarship from Canisius College in Buffalo. The Dukes' association with Soucier doesn't run as deep, though there's no mistaking the team had interest in the Sarnia Sting's seventh round pick a year ago. Abrams said the heavily-recruited left winger was almost locked in with another junior team. "It came out of nowhere. Mike Soucier has been recruited by every Junior A club in Ontario and in B.C. and everywhere in between," he said. "He was looking to play in Newmarket, but when (coach) Brian Perrin left, they were not as comfortable with the situation."

The Dukes had six teams of prospects vying for their interest. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff) The Dukes worked fast. Having already talked to Soucier's family, they invited them to come to Wellington and see the community. It didn't take long for a commitment to follow, and Abrams said local fans won't need a lot of time to feel the impact Soucier can offer the team. "He's an electrifying player. Every time he's on the ice, he makes something happen," he said. "He will be able to step into a prominent role immediately." After a 132-point season in the competitive GTHL, Abrams conceded Soucier may be counted on to pick

up some of the slack for Murphy's departure, but he said the speedster plays his own game and will likely be someone others will be compared to in future years. Soucier has also committed to play in the NCAA with the Bemidji State Beavers in Minnesota. Abrams said given the two players' pedigree and their exposure to Junior A programs across Canada, it speaks well for the Wellington program both families decided to entrust the Dukes with the develop-
ment of those two players. While Wellington signed two high-profile forwards, Abrams seems pleased to look at a committee approach on the blueline, mixing in some youth and experience. "We're pleased with local recruits like Jacob Hetherington, Nolan Powers, and Riley McGuire, as well as Zach Bishop who we signed from Victory Honda" he said. "We'll surround them with guys like Austin Broadhurst, Kyle Paat, and Kevin Swales. Give them a couple of
months and they'll have a really good second half." Abrams said in the 2010 run, the Dukes got some good hockey from vets like Curtis Leonard and Brandon McIntosh, but contributions across the board carried them to a championship. Two other players who caught Abrams' eyes over the weekend likely won't arrive in Wellington until September, if at all. A pair of 16-year-old 2012 Belleville Bulls picks, fourth-rounder Chad Heffernan, a centre from Peterborough, and sixth-rounder Hayden Lavigne, a goaltender with the Toronto Young Nationals accounted well for themselves with their play. "First and foremost, they'll go to Belleville and we won't know that scenario until after Labour Day weekend," he said. "With Heffernan, I'd be stunned if he found his
way to back Wellington this year." The Dukes can take two 16 year olds on their roster. There was no shortage of local talent competing for those spots either with Quinte Red Devils like Luc Brown, Grant Fry, Jordan Cannons, Josh Lasher, Matt Loveys, and Jacob Panetta involved in the weekend's action. Wellington's main camp will take place in August. of Plum Hollow Inc.

Carrying Place driver Weese pinches in to drive in unfamiliar sprint class Racer pulls double duty in Brighton CHAD IBBOTSON
Staff writer
A county racer got the thrill of a lifetime over the weekend when she suited up to race behind the wheel of a 700-horsepower sprint car. Carrying Place native Caley Weese was the beneficiary of fate on Saturday night at Brighton Speedway. With 50-year racing veteran Dick Mahoney sidelined after a recent eye surgery, Weese was tapped to sit behind the wheel of the number 79 car — her first time driving a sprint. Sprint cars are highpowered race cars designed primarily for running on short oval or circular dirt or paved tracks. Sprints can speed up to an excess of 230 km/h on some tracks and are known as one of dirt racing's most exciting and volatile race cars. While she is no stranger to the racetrack, Weese admitted it was nerve-racking getting behind the wheel of a winged sprint car with the Southern Ontario Sprints for the first time. “I was definitely scared,” said Weese. “But it was an opportunity too exciting to pass up. Dick Mahoney and his crew were amazing. They had a lot to teach me in a short
period of time.” Weese's anticipation was high as she informed her race team's Facebook followers she would be racing in both the sprints and in her usual pro late model category. It proved to be an exciting night, as despite the nerves Weese was able to manage an impressive 11th place finish in the 18car field and took third in her usual ride — the number 77 car. The 25-year-old driver used her nervous energy, learning the ins and outs of the fastest cars on dirt. The sprints are a lot different than the late model Weese races weekly. Even getting started is different as the sprints start by getting pushed by a 'push truck.' However, with some encouragement an reassurance from the crew, Weese entered the car confident

and hit the track for the first time with a handful of other cars in a practice hot lap session. “The driving style is completely different in a sprint car,” said Weese. “There is a 300-horsepower increase from my late model, but somehow I felt surprisingly comfortable.”

COOKE, Wallace, Jr.
In loving memory of my husband, Wally, who passed away May 30, 1996. Beyond my smile there lies a tear, For the husband I lost, and loved so dear. Wherever I am or whatever I do, Always dear Wally, I’m thinking of you. Though the tears in my eyes may glisten, And my face is not always sad, There is never a night or a morning, That I do not think of the husband I had. Only those who have loved know how I feel, At times it seems like my heart will never heal. When I look at your picture you seem to smile and say, “ Your broken heart will heal I know, when we’re together again someday.” Always loved and remembered by wife Cathy.
doUGhErtY, Barrie. Passed away five years ago, May 23, 2007 Down a road thats calm and peaceful Guided by God's loving hand He has gone upon a journey To a distant, brighter land. And although our hearts are heavy With sorrow we still bear, It helps to bring us comfort Knowing he is happy there. There's an open gate at the end of the road And there is a light we cannot see Our father claims His own Beyond the gate, our loved ones Find happiness and rest And there is comforter in the thought That a loving God knows best. Loving wife Emma Dougherty doUGhErtY- Barrie (Grandpa) May 23, 2007. It's hard to believe It's been 5 years, Since you were called away Your memory will stay In our hearts, With every passing day. We will see you Again some day, and Hear the words you used to speak "Come here wee little grasshopper And give Grandpa a kiss on the cheek" Love all your grasshoppers, Amanda, Brittany, Megan, Jenn, Ashley, Caitlin, Brad, Jeff and William.

June 14, 1935-May 23, 2007 At the table with his radio and smokes He’d sit for hours telling jokes. He loved to tell stories of days gone by, which sometimes brought a tear to his eye. With “mouth-organ” in hand and a “tap dance” too, He sure knew how to entertain you! Sadly he is missed and not a day goes by, I don’t think of my father. He was one heck of a guy! Love Janet
doUGhErtY- Barrie. In memory of a dear dad. May 23, 2007. It's been 5 years since you've been gone, But in our hearts you still live on, Our family chain is broken, And nothing is the same, We mention your name, And speak of you often, God bless you... You are not forgotten. Love Barb & Gord.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, financial constraints could delay the start of a new project that you have wanted to do for quite a while. Don't fall into despair; you just may have to save a little longer. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, learn all the facts before you get pulled into gossip. Otherwise you may become part of the problem of disseminating the wrong type of information. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, though you are naturally intuitive, this week you may have a burst of purely psychic energy that cannot be ignored. You may find vivid dreams are part of the deal. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, you are feeling very passionate and you have deep and rich emotions this week. It is all about developing an even more solid relationship with your partner. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Don't feel tempted to give anyone a pep talk, Leo. You may just be wasting your time. The person you have in mind might not be too receptive to advice. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, thoughts of love and romance could distract you and make it hard to do your job. Don't be tempted to spend all the time on the phone.
YOUR SPACE!
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 You have an inherent ability to read a person's thoughts and motives, Libra. You may find that people's feelings simply jump out toward you. This ability could be taxing, though. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Emotional issues with a family member could leave you seeking an escape route, Scorpio. This may be just what you need to clear your mind and get back on track. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you are feeling less inhibited this week, which may lead to a loose tongue. Try not to offend because you aren't thinking things through but operating on impulse. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, stress on the job could have you thinking about quitting. But a look at your finances may tell you this isn't a wise idea at the time. Stick with it for a little while longer. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Mistakes from the past could come back to haunt you, Aquarius. For a few days you may be low on self- confidence. Lie low if you don't trust your judgement just yet. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, though you're usually physically active, this week you can benefit from just taking a small break. Focus on recharging.

PECI basketball celebrates upbeat season
We are Do It Yourself friendly as well as supplying contractors
With a breakthrough year for the boys’ teams and some positive rebuilding for the girls, the PECI basketball program had much to celebrate at its year-end banquet last Wednesday. This school year, the Panthers saw a few firsts — a COSSA silver medal for the senior boys, two graduates playing post-secondary ball, increased participation in regional and provincial programs, and four teams playing at least 15 games each. The boys program experienced much of the excitement however. “Over the past three seasons, our girls program has led the way with our boys struggling to break through,” said program co-ordinator and coach Rob Garden. “This year, however, the boys teams emerged as a powerhouse in the Bay of Quinte.” Both teams found their way to COSSA and with only a small group of graduating players, next year appears bright. To have that kind of team success takes a number of individual contributions and those were highlighted in awards presented at the banquet at the Picton Golf and Country Club. Senior boys coach Ernie Macmillan called his team the best he’s had in eight years of coaching at PECI and that comes attached with promise, considering only three will graduate. He said his most valuable player was someone who “when it came to the last part of the game and we needed to score points and step up a bit, he stepped up,” the team’s top scorer Taylor Reddick. The senior team’s most dedicated player was another who could take games over on his own, but was lost early in the year to a serious eye injury — a bad break Garden said may have meant a title for the team. Mark Mitchell showed his poise, however, supporting his teammates and working hard. He was cleared this week to practice and is expected to be a leader on the team. The seniors’ best defensive player was also a key cog in their offence, but Morgan Johnson did some of his best work pulling balls off the glass and standing his ground in the lane against some strong competitors. “He was the backstop of our defence. He took a lot of charges against bigger, stronger, older players and pulled down rebounds at big times in the games,” said Macmillan. The senior team’s most improved player was one who was pressed into a difficult role when Mitchell went down with injury as he instantly became the starting point guard. Macmillan said Scott McQuaid did that job admirably for a first-year senior and he got a lot of learning in for next year. Lastly, for the COSSA silver medalists, forward Matt Gallo earned rookie of the year honours, given for his improvement throughout the season as he learned the senior game, got tougher, and started to put some more points on the board.

Junior coach Landan Burns-Kealey said his squad might have surprised many, but not himself and fellow coaches Andrew Wentworth and Bryan Wilson. That’s because they showed up from the start of the season with the right attitude. That will to work was embodied in most improved player Blaine Swackhammer, whom Burns-Kealey said was often looking to coaches to learn how he could improve himself to help the team. Burns-Kealey added the Panthers had a really exciting group of Grade 9 players, which made selecting just one rookie of the year tough, but the nod went to Ben Wilson , who was a regular contributor at both ends. Burns-Kealey said the juniors might not have had the success they had, save the efforts of their most defensive player who shut down key scorers on a lot of the other teams — sometimes breaking his own glasses in the process. “Without him some of the results may have been very different,” the coach said of Brad Wells. The team’s most dedicated award went to sharp shooter Kyle Gould, whom BurnsKealey said was ready to go in every practice and game, giving the team a lift when it needed one. While Gould and Wells both could have earned a stake in a most valuable player award, the juniors were lucky enough to have another dominant player who could score, defend, and lead in all situations. Bob Wilson showed his worth with his play and earned the award. On the girls’ side, it truly was a building year. The junior side had just four returnees and the seniors lost a handful of fifth-year players from the previous year, including the
likes of Niki van Haarlem, now of the Guelph Gryphons, Paige Smith of the Seneca Sting and her talented twin Katrina. The Panthers ended up losing five games by four points or less, where experience would have made the difference. With only captain Sarah Stanton graduating, however, hopes are bright for a team that is projecting to be very deep and a title contender in 2012-2013. For the team awards, Garden said the seniors’ most valuable player was one of the most true athletes he’s ever seen, with a passion few can match, calling Erin O’Brien “the heart and soul of PECI girls basketball.” The most dedicated players for the Panthers, Emily Clark and Maggie Dorenberg also show incredible commitment to the program as they’ve worked hard in practice and in games over the past three years to improve. The team’s awards took on a strange quirk this year as Courtney Wilson earned senior rookie of the year honours for a second time. “She won because it is her first year as a true senior,” said Garden. “She took charge for us in all situations.” The Panthers’ most improved player, Alyssa Van Rossum, is one Garden said has the ability to be a dominant force when she’s motivated to be, while Stanton earned defensive player of the year honours as she was “maybe not biggest or strongest person on the court but fearless in all situations,” according to Garden. The junior girls had a mix of Grade 10 players who really understood the defensive game, coupled with some electric offence from Grade 9s. Garden said one thing they all shared was an all-out nature
to never give up. “These girls never took their feet off the gas pedal and that will set them up for success in the years to come,” Garden said. The team’s most valuable player was Melissa Paradis, whom Garden said could be counted on to have the ball in her hand and the willingness to take chances late. “She led us on and off the court,” he said. The Panthers’ rookie of the year was a player Garden said could be counted on to attack the basket with reckless abandon, who showed no signs of intimidation at all. That was Danielle Willis. Since the team bought in well defensively, it was hard to single one player out, but the junior recipient had the same tenacious qualities for a smaller player that Stanton exhibited at the senior level. Garden said Melissa Corbin always gave her best. Katie McKinley and Hannah Smith received extra mention for their dedication despite injuries, though Cailey Jones received most dedicated player accolades for the extra work she put into her game outside regular practice hours. Brittany Payne rounded out that team’s awards as most improved, transforming from a shy player into a tenacious Panther. Garden said overall, his goal is to see some trophies at next year’s banquet, but that must come with work. “Don’t be satisfied with second place. Michael Jordan once said, ‘Great teams are made in the winter, but great players are made in the summer,’” he said. “I challenge you to improve your game over the next three months... your work and effort will determine whether we make it happen or not..”

"I just had to go back to the group and say we need to raise $50,000 instead of $10,000. My approach is to go for 50 and hope we raise 100. This is just an exciting program.

There will be a beef dinner at the Prince Edward Community Centre July 14 and a gala four-course dinner at Casa Dea Winery Aug. 11. Hancock said the Cattlemen were unanimous in wanting to support the venture. Sprague was delighted to meet with the Cattlemen’s Association and recognize the CCAC for their efforts on Tuesday. "This is a chance to recognize some very important community partners for their help in a program that has been identified as something we really need," he said. "When I first started to get money for this program, I didn't know I was going to be in the first cardiac rehab group, but I am, and I appreciate the efforts they have all made to keep me healthy and keep me going."

This week, you could be turning that old jar of coins into a vacation! While in Vancouver, British Columbia, CCA was able to offer $79,000 for an 1893 Morgan Silver dollar minted in San Francisco. This specific coin is highly sought after in uncirculated condition, mainly because not many were minted in San Francisco that year. Collectors are willing to invest top dollar in order to add this gem, and other coins of its kind, to their collections. Recently, they were able to offer $30,000 for a Canadian twenty cent piece from 1858. Why? Because the collector, from Austria, had everything but that ONE coin for his series of 17th century Canadian coins and was willing to pay top prices to complete his set. Those two stories are just the tip of the iceberg for their coin experts. A silver dollar from 1948 can fetch anywhere from $500 to $13,000 based on it’s condition. Collectors are eagerly looking for pre 1968 proof sets, coins with specific mint marks, coins from specific years and international gold coins. Don’t even get them started on the 1921 Canadian fifty cent piece! Coins are their middle name. For a fee of $0 (that’s right, its free), you can bring that coffee tin full of coins to our educated team of numismatist’s, and find out if you’ve been harbouring a very well kept secret!
bullion assessment in their services. The Canadian Coin Association is able to make offers for your scrap silver. Old tea sets, stamp collections from the Franklin Mint, and silver bars, are all examples of items that could be purchased on the spot! It’s a bullion boom, and everybody’s winning! CCA’s International collectors are also seeking gold coins from around the world. Maple Leafs, British Sovereigns, Kruggerands, Double Eagle gold coins and Gold Francs, are all examples of gold coins they are looking for on behalf of our collectors.
