Panthers gut out wins for COSSA crown Clutch efforts in one-run games give PECI provincial berth
Council backs call for mandatory consultation
ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER
Ryan Kelly pumped his fist triumphantly and allowed himself a wide smile Tuesday as he completed the double play that sealed a COSSA title for his PECI Panthers. Trailing 4-3, the Kawartha champion Crestwood Mustangs had the tying run on third base and another runner at first with just one out in the bottom of the seventh inning. Pitcher Dryden Norton managed to get batter to pop up a high fly ball. Kelly called off his teammates, calmly pulled the ball in, and raced back to his bag, catching the runner off base. It was the second time that day Kelly had factored into the final play of the game. Earlier in the day, he hit a walk-off single to the rightfield fence in the second extra inning of a 6-5 win over the Peterborough St. Peter Saints. With that jubilant effort, Kelly said his team learned something about themselves they’d carry into the final. “That tested us and we know we can do it now,” he said. “These are better teams and that’s what we will see going forward. We’d better get used to it. We get down, we’re going to get back up.”

County council continues to voice concern with industrial wind turbines and call on the province for some control in approving large-scale green energy projects. On Tuesday evening council approved a motion supporting a resolution of the Township of North Frontenac. The resolution passed on March 18. The resolution seeks to ensure municipal support for industrial wind turbines or solar farms becomes a mandatory requirement for Large Renewable Procurement (LRP) II and LRP III projects. South Marysburgh councillor Steve Ferguson brought the motion before council seeking support for the North Frontenac resolution. “This is the second such resolution I've brought forward, the first being Wainfleet which was a resolution saying we don't need any more renewable green energy projects,” he said.

Jam With Sir John, Eh! does its part to raise money for community radio station 99.3 County FM takes its second annual radiothon promotion to Picton’s Main Street CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER
The organizers of County FM 99.3's second annual radiothon celebrated another successful event on Saturday, but already have their sights set on bigger and better things as the year progresses. The Jam with Sir John, Eh! represented the station’s second annual radiothon fundraiser and it saw more than 250 people stop by Picton Armoury to take in some music from home-grown talent. The live concert took place from 12–6 and featured the likes of Ben Vandergaast, The Zeds, The Reasons, Conquest, Instant Rivalry, Andrew Franey, D'ari Lisle and Mel Larkin from Villas. County FM general manager Deb Simpson said the show was fantastic. “About 50 per cent of the people who walked by stood and stopped for 10 or 15 minutes and we had people that stayed with us the whole day,”
she said. “That was really great.” Simpson said events like the radiothon help put a face to County FM and encourage the public to continue to support the local station. “We had our newscasters there, we had a lot of our on-air personalities there, plus we had a lot of the volunteers who work behind the scenes there,” she said. “It also showcases to people just what we do and the type of music we have.” She said there are a lot of things the station wants to do in time and, with continued support from the community, they'll eventually be able to bring them to fruition. “It's important for us to get out there,” she said. “I think you'll see us putting on several more community events during the year as a routine thing. We've always tried to put on two a year and we'll continue to try to do that.” She said the public can expect some “very surprising” events to be announced

chants, and the second was to support the radio station. He said the most important goal was to showcase the county's musical talent. “Given the wide breadth of talent that was up there and the many genres of music, it was a very impressive afternoon,” he said. Larkin said the station was happy with the amount of people who came through downtown during the show, but said there's always room
for improvement. “When you're starting off as a not-for-profit community radio station you need to take steps and we certainly believe we've taken big steps and look forward to taking bigger ones in the future,” he said. He said one of the station's mandates from the beginning was to be a catalyst to bring the community together. He said that was represented on Saturday through the musicians, Main Street merchants,
and by those who stopped by. “When you factor in that we were the central thing that was pulling all of that together, that's really what the job of the radio station is and we feel that we fulfilled that very well on Saturday,” he said. One such example came at the end of the radiothon. With the closing act playing, a group of children joined the musicians on stage. “That was a sign of exactly the sort of thing we like to promote, which is a good family event where everybody is involved,” Larkin said. “That was certainly very visible at the end of it all.” A final total for funds raised Saturday wasn't available as the results were still being tabulated. Simpson said she expects funds to continue rolling in online because the fundraiser also marked the beginning of the station's Raise Your Voice campaign to build a base of more than 200 donors. The donors would give on an ongoing basis at four different levels. The levels start at $20 per month ($240 per year) and work up to $200 per month. Each giving level comes with various perks including a thank-you PSA and the opportunity to sit in on a broadcast in studio.

Fundraising arm of Prince Edward County Memorial debuts new web site and redesigned logo this week following positive annual report
Hospital foundation hopes to build on record year with refreshed marketing ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER
While there may be some uncertainty facing the Ontario health-care system, donors are clearly expressing confidence in Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital. The hospital’s foundation announced this week that the 2015-2016 fiscal year was its best yet in terms of total donations with $820,000 pledged for medical equipment purchases and upgrades at the Picton facility. Executive director Penny Rolinski told the Gazette the previous record was set in 2012 and it fell about $100,000 short of last year’s mark. According to Rolinski, three major gifts helped put the number over the top. Generous bequests came from the estates of Fred and Irene Collyer and H. Lorraine Noble. The Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Auxiliary also stepped forward with a big gift of $150,000 in December to put its contribution since the $1million mark since 1999. “It was a record year, largely due to two significant bequests and the Auxiliary’s gesture,” Rolinski said. “It’s very optimistic that even if we set aside those gifts, it was still a very good year.” Rolinski said the Life Saver campaign started by former development director Hazel Lloyst seemed to find traction and resonate with donors who gave generously. She also acknowledged the banner levels of support reflect the attitude of the community in the face of cutbacks over the years. “People still love this hos-

pital and they’re showing they need it to be here in this community for many years to come,“ she said. Through the success of the Life Saver campaign, the foundation has been able to fund an electrocardiogram machine, chemical and blood analyzers, eight vital sign monitors, three colonoscopes and three gastroscopes. Rolinski said it has provided funding to purchase two defibrillators and a blood analyzer, which have yet to be delivered to the hospital. For 2016-2017, she said the foundation is working to raise money to pay for scopes already purchased for the regional endoscopy program. She indicated the need was so great, the Quinte Healthcare Corporation went ahead with the purchase already, but money is still being raised. Also on this year’s wish list is a new “touch-and-go” console for the pharmacy, which will replace a passcode unit with a biometric fingerprint security system. To help connect with the community and keep the fundraising drive trending upward, the foundation has made some changes with
regard to its communications, marketing, and visual identity. For the first time in the foundation’s 31-year history, annual reports highlighting revenue and expenditures have been published in local newspapers this week. The foundation has also worked with county-based Vaughan Group on a brand rejuvenation project, which will feature a new web site and a redesigned logo. With respect to the web site, Rolinski said the foundation felt finding information was difficult on the previous version. Also, she said, that site wasn’t compatible with the mobile devices a growing segment of the population is using to access online information. “The web site was redesigned with the goal of making information about our giving programs easier to find,” Rolinski said. “The easeof-use will also be really useful when providing updates about the new hospital.” The site will also feature an expanded events calendar and news feed with links to social media. Rolinski said the goal is to provide donors, residents, and visitors more convenient paths to find the information they seek. The logo features the letters PECMH in white on bright green and blue backgrounds above the words “Hospital Foundation,” and uses the tag line “supporting your county hospital.” Rolinski said the reasoning behind the change was to come up with a logo that represents the energy and enthusiasm the community has for the hospital and the passion
VIBRANT REFLECTION Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation executive director Penny Rolinski said the organization wanted a new logo to reflect the energy, excitement, and passion the community has for the hospital. (Submitted image) and dedication of all the people who work to make it a patient-friendly space. Rolinski said the foundation is hopeful the changes
will excite the community and help with the 2016-2017 funding drive. The Life Saver II campaign has a target of raising $200,000
in this fiscal year alone. Foundation president Leo Finnegan said it will take gifts of all sizes to reach that goal. “Every donation, no matter how much, makes a difference in the care that you and your family value and deserve,” he said. “We very much appreciate all the support. We won’t waiver in our mission and we hope the residents of the county will continue their generous support of our fundraising activities.” To make a tax deductible donation, or for more information about donating to the hospital, individuals are asked to contact the foundation at 613-476-1008 ext. 4425 or visit the redesigned web site www.pecmhf.ca.

AGRICULTURAL LAND REVIEW
The County has initiated a study, known as a Land Evaluation and Area Review (LEAR), that will complete the Draft Official Plan in accordance with recent provincial requirements for prime agricultural areas. This study will confirm which parts of the county are the most suitable for agricultural production, and provide information to update the Prime Agricultural Areas that are identified on Schedule A of the Draft Official Plan. This land use designation recognizes that productive farmland is a finite, non-renewable resource that requires protection from incompatible uses through supportive planning policies and controls.

Deseronto Transit unveils signage at nine bus stops on route through the county Ridership increasing steadily since service introduced in 2014 CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER
Transit will have more exposure in Prince Edward County thanks to new bus stop signage unveiled on Tuesday morning. Deseronto Transit, the
municipality's public transportation provider, unveiled new signs at nine official bus stops in Picton and Bloomfield as well as additional signage to promote its services. Deseronto Transit administrator Susan Stolarchuk said ridership has increased since the services's expansion in Prince Edward County. “Since our partnership began in 2014, ridership has been steadily rising and last
year we experienced a five-per -cent increase in Prince Edward County,” Stolarchuk said in a press release from the municipality. “Riders are using the service for transportation to day-to-day activities like getting to work, medical appointments, and education.” A survey undertaken in 2014 by the Vital Signs Transit Group discovered about 21 per cent of people living in Prince Edward County have
heard of Deseronto Transit, but didn't know the full extent of what the service provides or that they could use the service. Subsequently the municipality's community development department and Deseronto Transit have worked together to map out strategic locations for bus stops. To help boost the services's growth, signs were produced that include expected arrival times and contact information for Deseronto Transit. “We anticipate that the presence of the permanent bus stop signs will serve to build awareness of the service for residents in Prince Edward County, and that in turn, the
ridership will continue to increase,” said Stolarchuk. Mayor Robert Quaiff said the headway made to this point by the service is heartening and council and staff are excited to see the outcome of the partnership made with Deseronto Transit. “It is encouraging to see the progress being made to address the transit needs of our residents by the agencies and businesses represented on the Vital Signs Transit Group, and we will continue to support their efforts,” he said. The service operates in Prince Edward County Monday through Friday on a set public transit route. The service travels through Picton and
Bloomfield and on to Belleville four times per day. There are no restrictions to use the service and it is open to everyone. Additionally, a wheelchair accessible service is available, but requires 24 hours notice. Printed copies of the transit schedule are available at Shire Hall in Picton, Picton Metro, County of Prince Edward Public Libraries, Life Labs Picton Medical Clinic, Community Care for Seniors, the Prince Edward County Chamber of Tourism and Commerce, Prince EdwardLennox and Addington Social Services, Career Edge, Service Canada, Prince Edward Learning Centre, and the Bloomfield post office.

Revitalization visioning session May 31 Residents will be able to offer feedback on downtown streetscapes CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER
The County's downtown revitalization efforts will take another step forward next week. The municipality issued a press release on May 20 announcing a “visioning exercise” planned for Tuesday, May 31. The visioning exercise will take place at Emmanuel Baptist Church in Bloomfield from 5:30–7:30 p.m. The release says the County received a great amount of information from residents during recent downtown walks and through survey data. The next step in the streetscape design process will see the downtown revitalization steering committee, alongside landscape architects MBTW, present the initial concepts for five of the County's downtowns to the public. There they'll ask for residents to review the concepts and provide further input. Community development director Neil Carbone says in the release the visioning exercise is a significant step in the process. “Streetscape design is an important part of downtown revitalization and the individual plans for each community,” Carbone says. “The look and feel of a streetscape plays a vital role in attracting visitors, customers, and residents to explore and experience a downtown and this in turn promotes economic growth and the vitality of local businesses.”
The initial step in the visioning exercise process began earlier this month with the collection of feedback on the existing streetscapes of the five study areas. MBTW conducted a series of interactive walkabouts on May 5 and 6 with residents to collect their thoughts on the look and feel of each community. Additionally, 126 responses were received through an online survey which was offered to members of the public who weren't able to attend one of the walkabouts. At next Tuesday's visioning exercise, the consultants will present their findings through the walks and the survey through the form of concept renderings of each downtown. The meeting is described as a second chance for the public to give feedback on each of the five downtown streetscapes. Following the session, MBTW will once again gather all of the feedback and complete a draft streetscape and facade design guideline report. This report is expected to be complete by June of this year. The Downtown Revitalization Steering Committee will take the data gathered earlier in the process through business, resident, and customer surveys, along with the streetscape and facade design guideline report and compile the information into a revitalization strategy for each community. The final result will be five downtown revitalization strategic plans and an overall county-wide revitalization strategic plan that can be used in each
downtown to guide revitalization efforts. Downtown revitalization co-ordinator Tom Coke says community input is critical. “The most important thing about this project is that the plans are built for each community by members of those communities — and by the County as a whole,” Coke says. The downtown revitalization project is a joint initiative of Picton, Bloomfield, Wellington, Consecon, and Rossmore and is funded by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, the Prince Edward County Chamber of Tourism and Commerce, and the municipality. The project is expected to be completed by Dec. 31 of this year.

COMMENTARY
Physical altercation an embarrassing scene that didn’t need to happen
WITHOUT a Canadian team chasing Lord Stanley’s mug, television ratings for playoff hockey were reportedly down about 60 per cent from previous years. Thankfully, the Toronto Blue Jays and even our esteemed politicians had their fingers on the pulse of a country seemingly missing the physical contact one might expect from Canada’s national pastime. Most baseball fans expected the Texas Rangers to seek retribution over Jose Bautista’s playoff bat flip last year and they got what they expected during the final game of the series between the two ball clubs last week. As in any such incident, however, there was a fair amount of argument online and near water coolers about possible motives and suspensions. The second altercation of the past week drew more discussion and a greater number of replays, and rightly so. The extracurricular activities on display in the House of Commons last Wednesday were unprecedented and, moreover, they took the attention away from the work laid out before the government — namely, the Liberals’ first budget and a euthanasia bill the Supreme Court has given the government until next week to debate. Many commentators have pointed to gamesmanship as the root cause of the fiasco that occurred last week. Some have decried the Liberal government for using time allocations and other tactics they criticized the previous government of using cynically to achieve its aims. Others suggest the NDP and Conservatives have been somewhat sore losers and have impeded the natural progress of a government with a mandate. However one falls on that issue, party politics is by nature an antagonistic pursuit and it appears clear the country is still incredibly divided today. Can the “sunny ways” and less-cynical
government the Liberals promised be delivered? It would appear they have their work cut out for them moving forward. One thing that should be abundantly clear, however, is that while Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has sold himself as the person who can provide the leadership to bring unity, his performance Wednesday is not the way to go about that mission. When Conservative MP Gord Brown couldn’t get to his seat, that was a matter for the Speaker or the Sergeant-At-Arms to consider. Had Trudeau stayed in his seat and used words, rather than dashing across the floor to try to grab a reluctant Brown’s arm, proceedings would have progressed. It’s regrettable the Prime Minister appeared to believe he was the only one in the House who could diffuse the situation. NDP MP Ruth Ellen Brosseau has faced much scrutiny for being bumped by Trudeau’s elbow in the process. Some have said she faked her injury, some have said she should have been prepared for the light contact, and others have suggested that if she had gone to her seat it wouldn’t have happened. Any of those matters may be true, but again, it wasn’t the Prime Minister’s place to leave his seat and intervene. One would expect his colleagues know that, too, because rightly, none of them attempted to enter the fracas with him. With the incident now done and the national spotlight on Ottawa for all the wrong reasons — a petty, shameful display by parliamentarians in general — it is time for federal representatives to show they can provide inclusive, competent governance within the system in place. Canadians are counting on change. It is up to those in leadership positions in all parties to hold themselves and their charges to live up to the expectations of the job.

Stories From Our Past 1926
n Picton businesses were to observe a half-holiday throughout the summer. In the months of June, July, and August, businesses would be closed Wednesday afternoons. n Local shopkeeper Beverly McDonald found a tarantula spider while unloading a truck load of bananas at his store. He took the brown spider to the Picton Collegiate and donated it for the school’s insect collection. The spider measured about four inches between its outstretched legs. n The Huff family received word from Australia that a delegation of three people would travel to Picton for a family reunion in July.
1946
n A coroner’s inquest into the death of Ameliasburgh student Marilyn Wannamaker called for the erection of road signage near school zones in the township and fences on school property. Teachers were also urged to teach students about the possible dangers of highway traffic. n Several county milk producers attended a mass meeting in Brockville to protest the dropping of the producers’ milk subsidy. n Prince Edward County decided to target the American cities New York, Philadelphia, and Cincinnati by publishing a tourism ad in daily newspapers with a circulation over a million.
1976
n With heavy precipitation early in the year, the water level in Lake Ontario was 4.3 feet higher than normal and expected to rise in June. Despite the high water levels, no significant flooding was experienced. n Ontario doctors were reportedly lobbying the provincial government to allow them to charge people who could pay for services more money, while allowing those who couldn’t afford as much to remain on OHIP. n Police laid willful damage charges after the doors at a Picton pool hall and department store were kicked in by two different men. The doors were valued at $150 a piece.

Historical society hears about heritage conservation districts Architect shares her experience with designations in Picton, elsewhere ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER
The impact of heritage conservation districts like the one adopted in Picton can be best seen after a period of about a decade, said Lindsay Reid, a county architect who has worked on establishing and implementing a number of the districts across Ontario. Speaking before a crowd of about 30 at the Prince Edward County Historical Society's annual meeting in Wellington, May 15, Reid said the districts have been a planning tool in Ontario for about 35 years now and there are 123 in place. "They're something municipalities are finding to be a very effective tool for managing change," she said. According to Reid, the districts are basically a special place that is found to have historical and architectural value that's protected under the Ontario Heritage Act. Typically, she said, they're characterized by a whole collection of heritage buildings and they have an organized framework behind them. Reid, who works with E.R.A. Architects, said typically her firm or others like it will be brought in to discuss formation of the districts either because there is an interest in protecting heritage structures, or people are reacting to lot subdivision or consolidation and new construction they don't feel is compatible to a sense of place. "Sometimes, these are community-led initiatives. I've actually done HCDs before where the community has come together and cobbled together money because they need to stop what is happening," she said.
INCREMENTAL BENEFIT Lindsay Reid, of E.R.A. Architects, says in her experience, the benefit of having heritage conservation districts will be seen over a period of time as the district plan influences changes. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)
While some impetus for their creation may be reactionary, Reid said she views the districts as a forwardlooking tool rather than one that grasps to freeze a district in a set time period. "Another primary objective of HCDs is providing a framework about how we think of allowing a place to change with grace. Change is inevitable, our social framework is always advancing or moving sideways or backwards. The places we live respond in kind," she said. "There needs to be allowance for change to happen, HCDs provide a guideline for how we think those interventions should happen because places do need to change over time." That process includes looking at buildings, tree canopies, and open spaces and how people view those places. It also allows for an economic business evaluation and a business plan to
develop an identity to attract growth. "It creates a long-term vision for what we envision a place to be. It's not retroactive, it's moving forward. Each year, there are three or four new things, so when we look back in 10 years, building in the district will have been influenced by that plan," she said. Reid spoke about Niagara on the Lake as one area where a district has built integrity by sticking to the district plan over a long time period, though she cautioned against too rigid an approach. She said an important part of such a plan could be good stewardship guidelines with friendly advice how to look after buildings. To achieve the designation, Reid said municipalities typically do a study to determine whether there is enough heritage to merit protection. It takes stock of
cultural heritage values, identification of heritage values to protect, and itemizing the bricks and mortar elements of a district for one to protect. Following the study, they enact a plan through legislation for how to carry out that heritage protection. Reid was involved in the study and designation in the Picton area. In talking to many people, she said many felt at the time it was most important to preserve Picton Main Street following the demolition of the brick church. She said they also looked at Picton harbour and the old village of Picton down the town hill as significant areas. She said she felt fortunate County staff was flexible with ideas and open to different ways to look at the process. Though Picton's roots can be dated back to early settlement, Reid said it was clear the construction wasn't from any particular time period, unlike some areas in Ontario that have been designated. "On Picton's Main Street you have this lovely evolution over time. There's a rich collection of architecture that spans 200 years of history," she said, noting they saw three distinct areas — the town hill as a gateway to the harbour, the downtown core area, and Main Street West, which originally was more residential in nature. She said the meat of the local district plan is generally design guidelines that address proposed changes that come to the County in the form of minor or major heritage permit requests. Reid acknowledged that has been the topic of some discussion around Picton recently, with issues related to signage and Main Street reconstruction. She said in her mind, the question must always come back to the initial design principles. "First of all, does it embody good design? Does it match the building or con-
text I'm adding to? Is the purpose of the new things adding to it and not detracting from it?" she said. Reid said she subscribes to the principle of minimal intervention as much as possible, keeping buildings in a good state of repair and leaving them as is. If changes need to be made due to poor conditions or some other dire situation, she said property owners should look to neighbours with similar style buildings. She also made it clear that heritage conservation does not necessarily mean mimicking a certain period in time or not modernizing buildings. Instead, she indicated, new builds or upgrades could be done in the style of this time, with traditional materials or contemporary materials of the same kind of quality. One example she gave was of the Gilbert and Lighthall restoration, which was done so that most people wouldn't be able to see a portion of the building was rebuilt after a fire, however those with trained eyes could notice. "There is a way of doing something that fits in very well, but is different enough so the trained eye could identify it," she said. "Some of the first districts were like Niagara on the Lake and people felt they were a little too controlled, or Disney-fied. Do we really want to create “ye olde heritage towne” all over Ontario, or have districts like Picton's that have evolved. Wouldn't it be nice to have a place to have new architecture of this time that fits in so it's compatible." Reid received some skepticism that politicians would be able to stop demolitions when it comes to personal property rights, but she said the normal pattern across Ontario is if there isn't a good justification, council will deny it.

Friends of Picton Branch host semi-annual quality book sale Saturday
Once again, I find myself surrounded by boxes upon boxes of quality books – all of which have been carefully collected for a very special reason. While the square footage of my office has temporarily decreased, its all for a really great cause! Mark your calendars and gather up some sturdy shopping bags as the much-anticipated Friends of the Picton Branch quality book sale is happening this weekend. For eight years, every spring and fall, the Friends have taken it upon themselves to find new homes for amazing books and raise funds to support the branch. As a direct result of these popular book sales, the Friends have donated almost $13,000 and look forward to adding to this impressive total with their 17th sale on Saturday, May 28. From 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., the quality book sale will take place on the front lawn of our Picton branch. Should
INSIDE THE LIBRARY Barbara Sweet
it rain – and it never does, fingers crossed! – please join us for the sale inside the branch. Volunteers Doug and Evelyn Sloane have become practiced in organizing the semi-annual event. They put out the call and the gently used book donations pour in. Often there are some real finds. For instance, if you’re into westerns, there’s a 1906
copy of William MacLeod Raine’s Ridgeway of Montana. Australian-born Germaine Greer is regarded as one of the front-runners of the second-wave of feminism – an autographed copy of her book The Whole Woman is up for grabs. This Saturday, you’ll find a superb collection of high quality, tantalizing cookbooks as well as inspiring home decor books. “The quality of donations are especially high this year,” says Doug Sloane. “It promises to be one of our most successful sales. The only shortfall I can see is so far is a very limited number of children’s books. If you have some that you’d like to donate, please deliver them to Picton branch by Friday, May 27.” Funds raised by the Friends as well as our ongoing book sales directly support important projects that would otherwise fall outside of the library’s operating budget. For instance, the sec-
ond story of Picton branch is in need of a facelift. Our hope is to repair and return the upstairs fireplace to working condition. As well, library users who responded to our recent survey recommend that more comfortable seating and electrical outlets for laptops would be appreciated.
CHECK OUT THE NEW BLOOMFIELD BOOKTIQUE
If you can’t make it out to the Friends book sale, you can always peruse the latest offerings in two of our branches. The library operates a small bookstore in the Picton branch in what used to be the furnace room downstairs. I’m also pleased to report that the back room of the Bloomfield branch was recently converted to an ongoing book sales area.
Bloomfield is a prime location for a bookstore given the many visitors who flock to shops in the village. We decided that given the numbers of books that we receive on an ongoing basis a larger, permanent bookstore was in order. After a lot of rearranging, we held a staff contest to name the store. Congratulations to Linda Mann – her submission “Bloomfield Booktique” received the most votes. On Friday, May 27 we’ll mark the first day of Friday hours in Bloomfield with a grand opening for the Booktique at 11 a.m. Everyone is invited to join us for refreshments, a ribbon cutting and to browse the fully-stocked shelves of the brand new Bloomfield Booktique. This weekend is sure to be a bookbuying extravaganza at less than extravagant prices! Volunteers are always welcome, to lend a hand call (613) 476- 5962.

Lockyer says Main Street business owners will see economic benefit from district over time HERITAGE, from page 7
Another question came with regard to the OMB as a member of the audience said in another heritage conservation district, every little variance was ending up there, costing the municipality and residents time and money.
Reid conceded that some developers may go to the OMB and win, but they often need a lawyer with experience in heritage law and a consultant that thinks what they're building is appropriate. Often, she said, those consultants will encourage a redesign that would fit better with the
plan. The vast majority of changes, Reid said, in her experience and in the experience of Shire Hall staff working with the Picton district, have been modest and productive. Some examples in Picton included the repainting of the Pink Lunch Pail, and a
tion, she said only the front facade was protected. In permit discussions, however, Greg Sorbara's group was encouraged to save the sides of the building to preserve lane ways, which figured in the district plan. Reid also addressed concerns heritage conservation districts might stifle invest-
facade makeover by the Kingston Olive Oil Company, which Reid said she found quite favourable. In the case of the Royal Hotel, she said the County was even able to ask for more of the building to be saved due to the heritage district designation. Under the structure's own designa-

ments in the downtown core as it may take people with deep pockets, like Sorbara, to do the prescribed renovations and some would be concerned they may not have the freedom to recoup their investments. She acknowledged it does take the right type of people to make change, noting having someone like Alex Fida, who has painstakingly worked at revitalizing the House of Falconer on Walton Street, involved is a “gem.” Reid added, however, that the Architectural Conservancy of Ontario has done studies about property sales and values in heritage conservation districts. “They did a study of over 60 conservation districts. The myth was they had a negative impact on real estate value. What thy found was actually the opposite,” she said. “Mapping out true values of what properties were selling for in comparison with neighbouring areas, the sales values in the heritage district were above and beyond those of comparable neighbouring properties. Prince Edward Heritage Advisory Committee chair Peter Lockyer was in attendance. He said heritage conservation is not always "black-and-white" and added much public education must be done about the objectives of the district. He added he believes the plan is a useful tool to foster improvements that will be economically viable. "Often the heritage community can be perceived as a bunch of seniors that have nothing better to do. We're seen as people concerned about the colour of geraniums in a flower basket on Main Street. I don't care," he said. "You can't consult a zodiac sign and hope for the best. We're in the early stages of this and we're not sure. The sooner we get down to the fact a heritage district is going to mean money for downtown merchants, they will be on board." Lockyer said a steady resolve is required and that means not making exceptions. Historical society president and councillor Steve Ferguson noted the current council has not received a presentation from Reid about the objectives of the district, but suggested one should be scheduled in the future.

Thousands visit Vicki’s to buy seedlings South Marysburgh farm helps people provide for themselves
WHATTAM’S COMMUNITY CALENDAR
CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER
Gardeners flocked to Vicki's Veggies Saturday and Sunday for the local farm's annual Victoria Day weekend seedling sale. The sale featured more than 100 varieties of heirloom tomato seedlings, plus flowers, honey, and more from various on-site vendors. Vicki's Veggies owner Vicki Emlaw said the event has grown a lot over the last 15 years. She said the event is about encouraging people to provide for themselves. “It's about empowering people to plant their own food, to have their own food source so they can really taste what good food tastes like,” she said. Emlaw said the farm has been hard at work for the last two months leading up to the weekend sale. She said 5,000 seedlings were planted in anticipation of the event and estimated an average of between 1,000 and 2,000 people come each year. “This year we had many, many pre-orders that people gave us ahead of time because they were afraid we'd sell out of their favourite variety,” she said. “We've had more orders than we've ever had and we probably have more seedlings than we've ever had as well.” The event is a little more

low-key than the annual Heirloom Hurrah held in the fall, but Emlaw said they two events complement one another nicely. “The tomato tasting is a little different. This is about doing a garden and working, that is about leisure and enjoying yourself,” she laughed. While people may plant a few varieties in the spring, Emlaw said visitors are always encouraged to drop by in the farm in the fall when the vast selection of tomatoes is on display. She said whether one is a newcomer or an heirloom tomato veteran, there's always a new flavour to try and that could make them think twice when deciding what to plant next spring. “When we have 170 different varieties for them to taste on one table, they may change their minds and try the different varieties to plant in their garden next year,” she said. “It's really about letting people know these actually exist.”
Emlaw said the event seems to grow every year and now features wood-fired pizza, fresh lemonade, and sweets. Flowers, herbs and other products are also available. Each vendor is local and there's emphasis on natural products. Emlaw said the expansion came naturally over time. She said some friends made lemonade and others made sweets and so they joined the growing event. “All of these people earn their living by doing this, so that's also something we need to be aware of,” she said. “We make our living doing this, so let's help our community and our friends to do the same thing because we want them to stay here.” Emlaw said she's amazed by the number of people who are interested in gardening and said it seems to keep growing. She said that's a sign people are taking more responsibility for themselves and that's always a positive.
A Letter of Thank You When Bill left us on May 5th I think perhaps that he did not know how well loved and respected he was. That fact was evident in the almost 200 condolence cards with comforting messages that I received. Some of these cards contained Mass cards that indicated that at various times Masses would be said for Bill. This gesture was very much appreciated. Shortly after Bill's death many of our friends showed up at our door with numerous food dishes, flowers and most importantly hugs. Many of our neighbours and friends looked after our dog Abby and made sure that she had lots of walks and playmates. I thank them for their kindness shown to her. The floral arrangements that were sent to the house, church and eventually to the Beck and Call added a wonderful splash of colour. Thank you to those who made this possible. I wish to thank Bob and Gayle Osborne and their staff for guiding us through the funeral arrangements and the funeral in a very caring manner. Rev .Richard Hamilton who conducted Bill's Memorial Service at the Picton United Church could not have been more gracious in allowing us to plan Bill's service, including music that Bill would have loved. It did not escape anyone in attendance what an amazing Eulogy that my family presented in honouring Bill. They captured the essence of Bill's life in a very caring and sometimes humorous manner. You could not have left the Church without knowing what a kind, gentle man he was who had a passion for teaching, Bridge and Skiing among other things. Our family could not have asked for a better Celebration of Life for Bill than was organized by Marni and Bill Grieve at the Beck and Call. I can assure you that Bill would have loved it with all of our friends there visiting with each other. There were numerous donations made to both the PECMH Foundation and the Loyalist Humane Society. Thank you to those who very generously donated. The $4000.00 donated to the Hospital will be used to purchase 2 new Omnicells (drug dispensing cabinets). The $2000.00 donated to the Humane Society will be used for food and vet care for "those who cannot help themselves." I apologize if I have forgotten anyone as there were so many. I will never forget your kindness and caring shown to both Bill and myself. With appreciation Fran Renoy

Couple opens their garden on County Rd. 14 to showcase emerging artists CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER
A new art event slated for this weekend will look to be a platform for emerging artists. Presented by Stone Cottage Art and Barn Quilt Gallery, Art in the Garden is scheduled to take place Saturday, May 28 and Sunday, May 29 from 12–5 p.m. at 1793 County Rd. 14 east of Hwy 62. Hosts Pat and Ron Dubyk are inviting the public to join them and a group of about 10 artists for a display of diverse artistic talent and mediums. The setting is the Dubyk's own hosta gardens, ponds
NEW SHOW Art in the Garden, organized by Pat and Ron Dubyk, hopes to be a platform for emerging artists this weekend. (Submitted photo)
and sculptures with a selection of barn quilts, watercolours, jewelry, and wood turned bowls, vases and
magic wands for sale. Admission to the show is $2 per person, 50 per cent of which will be donated to a local charity. Pat Dubyk said she and Ron are new artists and have finally started to create art they want to display and possibly sell. She said she thought many other emerging artists in the county were in the same situation and that was the genesis of Art in the Garden. “We wanted to create an event where other budding artists could display their work,” she said. “They maybe don't have a gallery or a studio or a way of advertising
themselves, so they don't feel they're ready for it.” She said they found a group of some local artists and some non-local artists who needed to get their art out there. She said there's no better place to display the work of a budding artist than a budding spring garden. “We're gardeners and we love gardens and it's the perfect venue for setting up Art in the Garden,” she said. Dubyk said the show will have a lot of variety as she didn't want to force the new artists to compete within the same medium. The result is an eclectic list of specialties that
also includes pottery, quilts and refinished furniture. Ron Dubyk has been honing his wood-turning skills and has produced some unique items himself, including magic wands in the style of Harry Potter, she said. She said those were inspired by a trip to Universal Studios' Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Ron dissuaded Pat from purchasing a wand at the gift shop and made her one instead. “He started making them and they are the most amazing magical wands you'll ever see,” she said. “They really are very beautiful.” She said Art in the Garden
will be more than just an art show. The garden would provide a relaxing atmosphere and a chance to take in the beauty of the gardens. Half of the $2 admission will be donated to a local charity and half of the proceeds from a used book sale will also be donated. “As a community I think we need to support each other,” Dubyk said. “It's community working for community and everybody working together to make things better.” In the event of rain Art in the Garden will be moved to June 4 and 5. The event is for adults only.

Ontario Fire Marshal has materials to help with your emergency preparedness strategy
The Government of Ontario designates a week in may for emergency preparedness each year. The idea is to highlight the importance of making a family emergency
plan, building an emergency survival kit, and staying informed before, during and after emergencies. At Community Care everyone who signs up as an employee,
volunteer or client is given information on emergency preparedness. The Ontario government encourages individuals and families to build or refresh
!" #$
their 72-hour emergency survival kit and share their tips with others. Emergency preparedness also means being prepared to assist others, like seniors or people with disabilities who might have difficulty coping with power outages, severe weather and other emergencies. The Office of the Fire Marshal and Emergency Management has emergency preparedness materials available in 20 languages to encourage all Ontarians to make an emergency plan, prepare a survival kit, and reach out to family, friends and neighbours who may need help during an emergency. Two-thirds of Canadians have taken action to prepare for emergencies. The province of Ontario opened the new provincial emergency operations centre last year to co-ordinate the Ontario government's
ings on Twitter to stay informed before, during and after emergencies. Go to this web site for tips on making a plan, building a kit, and being informed www.emergencymanagementontario.c a The County of Prince Edward Fire Department also has tips on emergency preparedness that you can find on the municipal website at www.pecounty.on.ca

Crystal Palace provides perfect backdrop for annual spring antique show Dealer cites industrial trend this season CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER
While tastes change over time, one thing most collectors seem to agree on is that the annual spring antique show and sale perennially features at least one jewel: the Crystal Palace. Built in 1890 by F.T. Wright, the building predates many of the items available inside during the show. The building was based on a plan by Andrew Irving and took its name from the original Crystal Palace, a cast-iron and plate-glass structure built in Hyde Park in London for the Great Exhibition of 1851. Town officials flirted with the idea of demolishing Picton's Crystal Palace in the 1980s, but the building was ultimately restored in the 90s. About 30 vendors from across Ontario and Quebec gathered under the roof of the historic building for Saturday's show. Organizer Holly Newland said the show is always well-received by the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People look forward to it and it's amazing how many people come in here and have never seen the inside of this building and are just blown away by it,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had someone knock on the door while we were setting up and she was from Calgary and

She and shows across Ontario and Newland said the event is elevated simply by being housed in the Crystal Palace. The historic building fills with natural light and seems to accentuate the antiques inside. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are really impressed with the building and they love the fact that there's an antique show in here,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just fits, you have a historical building and you've got an antique show â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it just fits so well together.â&#x20AC;?

The show moved into the Crystal Palace about 16 years ago at the behest of then-organizer Fred Spice. Newland said the move had really helped the show build a reputation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fred was the one who went to council and convinced them to let him use it. He was the first one who used this building in a commercial sense,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was sitting here empty and never used before that. It's just taken off and it was his forward thinking, he saw an opportunity and it was a good one.â&#x20AC;?
Vendor Peter Neilly said he caught the collecting bug from his parents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My parents used to go to auctions when I was a little kid and go pick up stuff and I guess I got addicted to buying old stuff,â&#x20AC;? he said. He said eventually buying turned to selling. He said the Crystal Palace is one of his favourite places to sell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's one of my favourite shows, it's a great venue with all the light and everything inside,â&#x20AC;? he said. Neilly said industrial pieces seem to be the current trend. Factory carts, furniture crafted from heavy wood beams, and old metal signage seem to be selling right now.

Take a break from spring gardening tasks for Master Gardeners’ plant sale Saturday
My gardens currently contain more weeds than they do perennials. The very erratic on-again, off-again cool spring, exacerbated by the fact that we live right on Lake Ontario, has caused me to restrict my activities to what absolutely has to be done. The recent warmer weather has encouraged me to redouble my efforts in that direction. Interestingly enough the temperature difference between Point Petre and Picton has varied between seven and nine degrees. This is the greatest variation that I have experienced in all of the years that I have been here. The only benefit the cool weather has brought is that the flowers from my spring bulbs, largely daffodils, have remained in
ASK A MASTER GARDENER Sandy Goranson
bloom for a couple of weeks longer that usual. The last few are just fading as I write. My early April task involved splitting a rhubarb plant to share with a neighbour. My rhubarb patch had begun to greatly exceed what we could use both for ourselves and for friends. While you can transplant rhubarb in the fall, spring is best, so last fall our neighbours prepared their rhubarb bed. They added a good amount of organic composted manure. This spring I divided one of
Kirkin’ o’ the Tartan
our plants and had it ready to move. They planted each half about two feet apart. The new plants appear to be thriving and our neighbours should be able to harvest rhubarb for two weeks next spring and in the spring and fall thereafter. Meanwhile they can continue to share our rhubarb patch until then. My next area of focus was weeding the strawberry bed, as well as transferring some younger plants from an adjoining bed to fill in spaces left by winter-kill. These plants are now all in full bloom. Next I cleared out weeds and the remains of old stocks from the asparagus bed. I then fertilized it with composted manure and am now harvesting asparagus daily. The vegetable seeds I had planted at the beginning of
May have sprouted and are doing much better than they did last year when we also had a cool spring. Rain at our place has been light but consistent, which may have been a contributing factor. As it finally looks like frosts are over and warmer weather may actually stay awhile, I am taking a few chances and have already moved the dahlias that I had started indoors into my two largest planters. So far they are continuing to develop and if it suddenly cools down unexpectedly I can always toss an old sheet over them. As soon as their bed is weeded, the gladiolus will get planted as well. I have tried the hardy gladiolus but have never found them totally satisfactory nor all that hardy over time. However when I

still worked full time, I avoided all of the perennials that were too tender to winter over in the garden, as being too much trouble. Now, I wonder which ones I will try next – perhaps caladiums. However much I enjoy growing some of our food, it is the flowers, shrubs and trees that bring the two of us the most pleasure and so all of our gardens are visible from inside the house as well as visible to passers by. I have never quite understood why so many gardens are barely visible from inside the home that they surround. After all, it is the gardeners who most enjoy their own gardens so why would they not want to keep them in sight most of the time. Most importantly I want to remind you that the Master Gardeners’ annual plant sale
takes place this Saturday, May 28, 8 a.m. to noon, in the southwest corner of the Metro parking lot. The plants come largely from our own gardens. An exception to this is the annual donation of rose bushes for our sale from a local nursery. As well there will be a display set up to show us how to best provide water for bees and butterflies. This event provides financial support for the completion of the education requirements for our new Master Gardeners.

Talented youth team up with well-known performers to stage much-needed fundraising concert for the Recreation Outreach Centre
ROC’n Revue to raise money for local youth programming tonight at the Regent Theatre JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER
They will be rockin’ at the Regent tonight! The ROC will be hosting its third annual showcase of Prince Edward County youth talent at the ROC’n Revue at the Regent Theatre tonight starting at 7 p.m.. Prince Edward County youth will perform live with community coaches including Miss Emily, The Reasonettes, Jamie Stever, Janet Kellough, Peter Rea, Kim Inch, Sarah Williams, Chris BonhamCarter, and Brenda Cunningham of the County School of Dance. The revue is a fundraising event that will support the Recreation Outreach Centre (ROC) and their new Prince Edward County youth centre. “We are really excited about this opportunity that allows local youth to broaden their knowledge of theatre performance and backstage production while developing skills and confidence to share their talents with their community" said ROC program director Hilary Fennell. "New to the format of the show this year is pairing these incredible county youth with local professional musicians. This unique mentoring opportunity has been inspiring to witness and I guarantee the audience will be entertained." The ROC‘n Revue offers a well-rounded variety show to celebrate ROC programming and showcase young local talent. Participants have worked hard to prepare with adult

mentors in multiple rehearsals over the last month. The revue will include live music, singing, dancing, poetry and storytelling, professional musicians, a raffle draw and door prizes. The ROC is a registered charity that has been serving the needs of children and youth in Prince Edward County, promoting health and wellbeing since 2000. The organization offers enriched physical activities, recreation programs, creative arts and mentorship through a variety of programs that support personal, social and academic development and what makes the programming unique is that there is no cost for youth to participate. “We provide healthy snacks and meals to everyone. We provide transportation. In a nutshell: We offer barrier free programming, in school, after school and evenings. ROC offers a successful sports and art camp during the summer
and collaborates with community partners to ensure the successful delivery of all programs and opportunities,” Fennell added. All proceeds from fundraising supports ROC programs that are offered at no cost to Prince Edward County youth but organizers are relying on the county community more than ever before. For the first time in their history, the ROC was unsuccessful in securing an Ontario Trillium Foundation grant. “We rely on community support and one time grants so there is more pressure this year than in other years. In order to continue to offer these youth activities, services and programming at little or no cost, we will need the community to step up,” Fennell added. “This
is the most vulnerable the ROC has been in the last 16 years.”

This past year the Board of Directors of Community Living Prince Edward (CLPE) made an intentional decision to change the agency's mission statement to read: "We exist to facilitate the full participation, inclusion, and citizenship of people with an intellectual disability in the life of the community." The word "FULL" emphasizes that it is no longer enough for people to simply be in their community but all people need to be "OF" their community,"
The agency's mission statement is being realized every day as we see examples of where people are contributing members of their community through full participation in clubs, social events, having valued social roles, giving back as volunteers and gaining competitive, inclusive employment in the community.

North Frontenac says current process doesn’t meet standard of openness MOTION, from page 1
He said with the resolution the municipality would be joining more than 50 other communities across the province who are telling the Ontario government that there has to be mandatory consultation and approval by municipalities before
large-scale solar or wind projects can move forward. “These resolutions are just sending a message to what essentially is a petulant or rebellious child saying 'no, no, no' over and over again,” he said. Accompanying the resolution was a letter from North Frontenac Mayor Ron
Higgins which has been forwarded to Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) president and chief executive officer Bruce Campbell. Higgins says in the letter that Ontario Minister of Energy Bob Chiarelli indicated on March 7, 2016 that it would be “almost impossible” for a contract to
be awarded under the current approval process without municipal agreement. “Four of the six contracts announced on March 10, 2016 did not have municipal support for the project, yet there were municipalities who wanted them and did not get awarded,” the letter says.
The resolution says the current process doesn't meet the government's standard for openness and transparency because municipal councils are asked to support projects based on little or no detail and the municipalities are unable to determine the basis on which individual contracts were

awarded. The resolution asks that the rules be amended to require that a municipal support resolution become mandatory under the IESO process and that the rules be amended to require the resolution to be considered in an open council meeting held after the community engagement meeting organized by the proponent. It asks that full details of the project, including siting of project elements and site consideration reports be made available to the public before the municipal support resolution is considered. The resolution asks that the terms of any municipal agreement related to a project be discussed in open council and that such agreements can't include terms limiting the municipality's ability to exercise Municipal Act powers relative to the project. It asks that the approval process include a requirement for the municipality to provide comments on projects directly to the IESO and that any points awarded for aboriginal participation be limited to First Nations who have a comprehensive claim on the land where the project will be built. Finally, it asks that any announcement of successful bidders includes an explanation of the points awarded to each bid.

Board names Trenton school, honours Clements
A new, 55,500 square foot consolidated school built on the site of the former Queen Elizabeth (Trenton) school was officially named Tuesday evening at the regular meeting of the Hastings & Prince Edward District School Board. Board members approved the name Trent River Public School and also approved the name Samuel Clements Centre for the centre core of the new school, which will contain the learning commons (library area), stage and gymnasium. Clements was a long time Trenton-area school board trustee who will be acknowledged and recognized for his contribution to education and the Quinte West community throughout his lifetime.
In 2014, the board received provincial funding to build a new Kindergarten to Grade 8 school in Trenton to consolidate students from Breadner Elementary School, College Street Public School and (the former) Queen Elizabeth Public School. The new school is being built on the site of the former Queen Elizabeth Public School which was closed and demolished during the summer of 2015. Students from that school have been accommodated primarily at Breadner Elementary School and the new facility is scheduled to be open in January 2017.

Competitive pool of prospects skates for Wellington brass
Abrams impressed by depth on ice at Dukes’ spring camp JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER
Deep. It's the best way of describing the talent level at the Wellington Dukes annual spring camp at Essroc Arena this past weekend. A total of six teams of minor hockey prospects and Junior hockey veterans skated for the club's brain trust and their collective efforts will give Dukes coach and general manager Marty Abrams reason to pause and evaluate his plans for the upcoming 20162017 hockey season. A season in which the Dukes will compete in a division that includes the 2016 Dudley Hewitt Cup champion and 2017 host Trenton Golden Hawks and the 2017 RBC Cup host Cobourg Cougars. Yes, the hockey will be insanely competitive in the OJHL's East Division this year if only because two teams hosting major post-season tournaments will be built for the long run. So, this weekend's camp, out of necessity, was extremely well balanced, high tempo and competitive. 'There was certainly a lot of depth,” Abrams said of the skaters and netminders that poured into the county from all over North America this weekend. “We identified a

good number of potential candidates that could play for our team and we will spend the week determining which ones might fit into our lineup.” Unfortunately for Wellington, the best possible players from this camp might end up getting graded with home proximity to Essroc Arena as part of the criteria.
It might be early in the process but Abrams was to quick to explain the billet status for next season was at a “crisis stage.” “We may be not keeping the best player because of that situation and its unfortunate because as a general manager and coach you want to be able to ice the best possible team
but at the same time there are some factors that have to play into that,” Abrams said. On the happier side of the ledger, the skipper was happy with the performance of the players from the Central Development Hockey League squad sporting the Dukes colours this spring as they play out of the Quinte Health
& Wellness Centre. Forwards like Evan Foley, Devin Morrison and Dawson Ellis preformed well in spite of playing against older and bigger prospects and junior hockey free agents. “They had a leg up on the majority of players and that might have to do with the fact they've been on the ice three
times a week and have played seven games so far this spring. They were in mid season form and showed really well. They were ready to go right from the start of the first scrimmage,” Abrams said. In net, there were certainly a lot of eyes directed to the crease where Sudbury native Cameron Lamour was stationed and for good reason. The 6'1” 185 lbs Sudbury Minor hockey graduate was the second goalie taken in the most recent OHL draft, getting tabbed 49th overall by the Saginaw Spirit and has a high ceiling in terms of potential. After grooming both Anthony Popovich and Olivier Lafreniere and both those puckstoppers expected to make the jump to Major Junior hockey next season, Wellington is retaking its claim as a goalie factory and Lamour could be another in a line of young tenders that receive prime seasoning in Duke land? “He came as advertised. He was calm and patient in the net,” Abrams said. “He's the type of player that will be going to a lot of camps and he's getting used to the Junior A experience. He did really well, there was a lot of composure in the net and a lot of talent.” In terms of local netminders, both Matt Villalta and County resident Pierce Nelson were sharp. “Nelson had an outstanding camp and stood out as a 16 year old, he's got a great future ahead of him,” Abrams added.
Brown adds to hardware haul with three awards at Dukes’ post-season banquet OJHL leading scorer and most valuable player also earns nod as Wellington’s fan favourite JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER
SIMPLY THE BEST Luc Brown accepts the Foster Bailey Memo-
rial Fan Favourite Award from Dukes executive president Doug Robinson Saturday evening.(Ed MacPherson/For the Gazette)
No one would begrudge a Wellington Dukes fan if they called the 2016 club banquet 'the Luc Brown show. After all, the Napanee native has earned no shortage of accolades for his starry 2015-2016 regular season campaign from the Ontario Junior Hockey League and the Ontario Hockey Association. On Saturday evening at the Highline Hall, Brown
added to his haul of hardware for his 91 point season by winning the club's Garry Lavender Memorial MVP award, sharing the most improved award with Nic Mucci as well as winning the Foster Bailey Memorial Fan Favourite Award. Not bad for a player so far under the Wellington Dukes radar that coach and general manager Marty Abrams didn't see the future brilliance in Brown until a Global Hockey Showcase event in Chicago in May 2012.

“He went there to get more exposure and it's kind of ironic that ended up getting signed by the team 30 minutes down the road,” Abrams said of Brown's path to OJHL stardom and NCAA Division 1 hockey with Union College. When asked of his memories of Brown, Abrams said it was unique to watch Brown develop both into a physical force while refining his on-ice skill. “We knew he was going to have a big year, but he really
knocked it out of the park,” Abrams added. In terms of the back end, Justin Bean and Jacob Panetta split the Bryan Helmer Defenceman of the Year Award. Bean was a stalwart for Wellington all season after returning from a brief stint in the Ontario Hockey League, averaging nearly a point-pergame (31 points in 33 contests) and playing in every key situation for the club.

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.
durward- Leanne Louise. In loving memory of a dear daughter, sister, aunt and niece, who passed away May 29, 1987. Deep in our hearts your memory is kept To love, To cherish, And never forget. Very much loved and missed. Mom, Dad, Lori, Mike,Mitchell and Aunt Kathie. durward, Leanne. In loving memory of our dear niece who left us May 29th, 1987. Those we love remain with us For love itself lives on, Cherished memories never fade Because a loved one’s gone. Always loved and remembered by Uncle Al & Aunt Lisa. moore, In loving memory of Roger Moore It’s been one year, it seems like yesterday, We think about you and miss you every single day. Little did we know that morning God was going to call your name, In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you but you did not go alone, For part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide, and though we cannot see you, you are always by our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same, But God calls us one by one, the chain will link again. We love and miss you, Roger, Dad and Grandpa. Love Ann, Rhoda & Gary, Valerie & Walt, Melissa and Nicole shelley- Ken. In loving memory of Ken, who left us May 28, 2003. We think about you always We talk about you still, You have never been forgotten And you never will, We hold you close Within our hearts And there you will remain, To walk with us throughout our lives Until we meet again. Loved always and forever. Mabel, Rick, Ron, Cheryl and families.

Panthers receive gutsy defence, clutch hitting in extra innings to reach final game BASEBALL, from page 1
While there was a sense of confidence and triumph at the end of the day, Kelly first experienced another emotion after the semifinal contest. “Relief, for sure,” he admitted. Earlier in the day with a chance to close out an inning, he made an uncharacteristic error at first base on what appeared to be a routine
ground ball in the top of the fourth inning. Instead of finishing the inning after starter Max Manlow struck out the first two batters, the Panthers let the Saints bat around and score four runs. Finally, a ground ball ended the rally with the bases loaded. The teams traded runs over the next two innings and it appeared the Panthers were

down and out facing a fiverun deficit. Instead, they refocused and tried to claw their way back a little at a time. In the bottom of the fifth inning, Gavin Ronan started the comeback with a lead-off double. Norton was able to squeeze him home. An inning later, Kevin Wilson started the Panthers with a double to left field. Jordan Strachan knocked him in, then stole second base. After Johnny McHugh grabbed a walk, Ronan again seized an opportunity to drive the ball to the outfield, hitting his second outfield double in as many innings and knocking two runs in to tie. Suddenly, the Saints pitcher who seemed so hard to hit was showing signs of weakness. He was ultimately replaced before the next inning. Neither team managed anything in the seventh, which meant extra innings. Closing out the game on the mound, Wilson didn’t allow any hits. In the ninth, however, the Saints came close to scoring as they started the inning with a runner on second base as per the tie-breaking rule. The base runner reached third on a passed ball and appeared headed home on a ground ball to the right side of the infield. Second baseman Ronan had another idea, however, gunning the ball home in time for catcher Dan Seguin to apply the tag

and take out the lead runner. A fly ball ended the side. “I was just throwing a hail Mary at the plate, sure enough it turned out,” Ronan said. In the bottom half of the inning, Ronan was the runner on second due to the tiebreaker. Seeing the third baseman in close for a bunt, he managed to swipe his way to third. Seguin walked, then moved to second on a Norton hopper to second that seemed to handcuff the Saints defence, who wanted to hold Ronan on third. Kelly was able to sit back and wait for his pitch. He found it. “I was looking for some-
thing to hit to the outfield and get up on a sacrifice fly,” he said. “It was on the outside corner, about belt high. It was a pretty good pitch to hit. I got squared up pretty good.” The rest, likely was a blur as the Panthers stormed the field to celebrate the comeback as barely any time passed between the time Ronan crossed the plate and the time Kelly was mobbed near first. “That was probably the greatest moment I’ve experienced in sports. Really, it was surreal crossing the plate,” Ronan said, adding it was probably the most intense ball game he’s ever played in. The Panthers had about
three hours to settle down from the high and return to play baseball against Crestwood, who beat Centre Hastings in another close game under the hot sun in Wellington. When they returned, they appeared ready to go as Ronan and Norton made their way home during the first inning. Seguin got the nod on the mound and managed to get his team out of a jam in the second, managing to get two outs with a pair of runners in scoring position. He wasn’t so fortunate in the third as the Mustangs produced two runs on three consecutive hits.

The Picton Gazette
Panthers feel COSSA was necessary tune-up for provincial play CHAMPS, from page 26 Ultimately, however, Seguin helped his own cause offensively in the third, rounding the bases to score on a lengthy Kelly double later that inning. Crestwood tied the game in the fifth inning with the leadoff batter scoring off a two-out double. The Panthers countered later that inning for what would ultimately be the decisive run. Strachan led off with a single and was replaced with speedster Chase Lavender on the base paths. Matt Dobson, who had already made two stellar defensive plays at second base got on with a walk. Having him on base would be key in producing the run. Next, Ronan stepped in and hit a chopper to shortstop. The ball went to second, but Dobson came in with a hard slide that took out his opposite number on the bag, preventing him from turning the double play. The broken play provided Lavender enough time to get to the plate before the ball to score in a cloud of dust. “I was just trying to get a chance for the guys to win,” Dobson said later. His teammates had high praise for his efforts. “You’ve seen him play ball. He’ll just give anything for the team,” said Seguin, who added the Panthers learned early in the game to keep the ball on the ground as Crestwood’s infield struggled to make plays. After Johnny McHugh turned in a solid inning of relief in the sixth, allowing no runners on base, Norton came on in the seventh to close out the game. He, too, had some tricky moments, giving up a triple and a walk before Kelly was able to bookend the effort to secure a trip to OFSAA. Coach Matt Ronan was impressed with the way his Panthers battled throughout the contests. “That was fun baseball. It was just fantastic to see how those guys responded.” The coach went through the lineup offering accolades. He was also able to boast about the Panthers’ depth. In the semifinal, the team had to use four different pitchers — Manlow, Norton, Ronan, and Wilson — but it still had more to give. “We were able to go with Dan Seguin. They weren’t thinking we had another guy. Dan probably has the most control of secondary and tertiary pitches of anyone playing today. He did a great job. Johnny McHugh pitched 100 pitches Saturday and he gave us one inning of shut down ball. Kevin Wilson shut them down. “ Ronan, Dobson, and Seguin said the Panthers were fortunate to be able to win the first COSSA title — not only for the prestige, but also because it will help them June 1-2 when they head to Newmarket for the provincial tournament. “It was definitely different this year having to earn it to go to OFSAA instead of just winning the Bay of Quinte. Having to win OFSAA it’s definitely a lot sweeter,” Seguin said. Added Dobson: “Today was very helpful. In our

league it’s not very good ball. This was better ball. It’s preparing us for a lot better ball and more intense games.” The coach said in the five years the Panthers have played provincially, they have routinely seen good teams like the Kawartha entries. Having seen that ball earlier this year is a plus. “I don’t think we’ve had to battle as hard to get there as we have this year. Last year, we inherited our spot,” he said. “This time around, when you have to battle in extra innings and get a walk-off, then have runners on second and third to end that game like we did. That’s a good feeling going forward. It’s a testament to these guys.”

Several Dukes award winners heading to post-secondary pursuits DUKES, from page 22
Panetta was just as good, scoring at the same clip as Bean (45 points in 47 games) and providing a unique balance of puck rushing and puck passing ability that will translate well when he attends Colgate University next season. Abrams said that Panetta showed incredible patience during his time in Wellington and made great transitions, whether it was from Minor hockey to Junior C and a key role in the Picton Pirates 2013 â&#x20AC;&#x153;He really understood the process and remained patient during those times and now he's getting the benefits of being patient, of being prepared and doing the job that was asked of him,â&#x20AC;? Abrams stated. Fellow blueliner Jacob Hetherington will be graduating to the Canadian University ranks next season to play for the Wilfred Laurier entry but not before he accepted the Sportsmanship Award. A four-year Duke that developed from a raw rookie into a dependable defender especially in his final two campaigns, Hetherington was praised by his coach for being able to answer the bell almost every night as a member of the Wellington side. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was Mr. Reliable. So steady and durable and he could play large minutes while being a quiet leader in that dressing room,â&#x20AC;? Abrams said. The injury bug finally bit the Kingston native near the end of the regular season and it was during that time his presence was truly appreciated by Abrams and company. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a huge void and we really missed him and recognized how much glue he was for the back end,â&#x20AC;? said Abrams. Another graduate that took home a piece of hardware Saturday was Ben Sokay. The Port Hope native
TOP PLAYOFF PERFORMER Wellington Duke Ben Sokay was named the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most valuable player in the playoffs at its awards banquet Saturday night.(Jason Parks/Gazette staff)
earned the playoff MVP award and what Duke fan will ever forget his four goals in Game 6 of the Northeastern Conference quarterfinal including the dagger in overtime that punched Wellington's ticket to the second round for the first time in five tries? Like Brown, a spring camp helped break a path into the OJHL and like Brown, Sokay will head to the NCAA next season (with the Niagara Purple Eagles). â&#x20AC;&#x153;He's a product of a May training camp. He came in under the radar on an invitation and there was no preconceived notion that he was
going to play here but we all agreed right away that he should,â&#x20AC;? Abrams recalled. Sokay had a very solid rookie campaign last year but burst onto the scene in his sophomore season, riding shotgun with Brown and posting 64 points in 52 games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He played a lot of key situations this year and he's the type of player you love to watch and makes the big plays at the right time,â&#x20AC;? the coach said. Linemate Dylan Mascarin was the playoff top scorer and Abrams was thrilled to hear the news that the Thunder Bay product will be following the well-beaten path from
Wellington to Oswego, N.Y. next fall to suit up for the NCAA Division III Lakers. After a tough start to his Junior A career that saw him bounce around the country and get dispatched from Wellington back in 2014, Mascarin made the most of his second coming to Wellington and providing a key catalyst role with Brown and Sokay. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I give him all the credit in the world for earning this opportunity with Oswego,â&#x20AC;? Abrams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He reached out to us, asked to come back here and we're so happy he did. He did everything we asked of him and he was exceptional on and off the ice.â&#x20AC;? Other award winners included Carter Allen who took home the Rick Meagher trophy for being the player who best exemplifies what it means to be a Duke. A pair of players expected to play in the OHL next season also won awards. Forward Tyler Burnie was awarded the Matt Cooke Rookie of the Year award while netminder Anthony Popovich was the Helen Baitley Memorial Award winner as Wellington's top scholastic athlete of 2015-2016.

OFA responds to proposed Supporting Ontario’s Trails Act
May 13 - By Peter Lambrick, Director, Ontario Federation of Agriculture Many Ontarians love to explore the unique and diverse landscapes throughout the province, including thousands of kilometres of recreational trails. Many of those trails intersect privately owned land including farm operations. The Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) is on record supporting the voluntary nature of any trail-related easement – addressing the areas where public trails pass over private land. But we must ensure the rights of private landowners are not overlooked, especially in the proposed Bill 100 – Supporting Ontario’s Trails Act, 2016. OFA supports Bill 100 in principal. However, it required more clarity on the issue of easements, trespassing and best practices. We have outlined all of our concerns and suggestions in a formal submission on Bill 100 Supporting Ontario’s Trails Act, 2016 – a bill that also includes amendments to other statutes including Ontario Trails Act, Occupier’s Liability Act and Trespass to Property Act. We strongly disagree that Bill 100 will impose any trailrelated easements on unsuspecting and unwilling private property owners. However the Bill does need clarification on easements that clearly states they are voluntary, solely at the discretion of the property owner, and will never be unilaterally imposed on a property owner. And property owners must be able to specify the terms for easements on their property. OFA would like to see that any trail organization applying for government funding is required to adhere to trail-related best practices. The other statutes covered under Bill 100 fall short on two important fronts. Amendments to the Occupiers Liability Act fail to address liability protection for farmers and rural property owners. And amendments to the Trespass to Property Act fail to deliver on OFA’s longstanding requests to adjust and enforce trespassing fines. As farmers, we recognize the lure of the countryside that brings many Ontarians out to explore the unique and diverse landscape accessible through public recreational trails. Farmers help facilitate this experience. In return, we expect trail users to respect the rights of farmers and private property owners, and abide by trail use best practices. OFA looks forward to working with the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport on the development of best practices for trail use in Ontario.
the school’s improv team, attended the Model UN, and gave tours of her school to elementary school students and parents on her own time. In 2015, McDonald organized and directed a play for the Sears Drama Festival in Kingston. She also acted in the show. Outside the school, McDonald has been involved with the Marysburgh Mummers community theatre program and for two summers, she helped lead youth camps at the Mariners Memorial Museum in South Bay. She’s also an accomplished singer who sang in four different categories at last year’s Quinte Rotary Music Festival and received the Quinte Rotary Voice Award. She practices five hours a week. This fall, McDonald plans to study humanities with philosophy and the Italian language being her principal areas of study. She said she hopes to also take courses in physics, literature, and art. As part of her application, McDonald had to research and write a 1,000 word essay on volunteerism and how the Women’s Institute is currently making a difference. She delivered that essay in the form of a speech Thursday afternoon. She suggested that the Women’s Institute provides positive change through its generosity and its commitment to the community. “The Institute begins conversations about sensitive issues, designs methods of investigating change, and fosters a sense of involvement, activism, and leadership,” she said. “Because of the Women’s Institute, rural communities are less isolated, more cohesive, and better able to make a difference.” McDonald thought to reference the breadth of the Women’s Institute’s campaigns in recent years. She noted that in 1999, it drafted a resolution calling for social and economic recognition of stay-at-home parents. The following year, it advocated for the retention of Canada’s natural water resources and spoke up about drivers’ cell phone use years before the topic received mainstream attention. Her research then took her to some current initiatives the Women’s Institute is backing nationally, including a campaign that calls on the Canadian government to be more
responsible during Canada Day celebrations by not releasing balloons into the air that may damage ecosystems or create litter. Another focus, McDonald said, is a call to create a mandatory lifestyle program in Ontario schools to teach students about healthy living and equip them with the necessary skills to achieve a balanced lifestyle. “Furthermore, not only do the members of the Institute lobby for these issues, they act upon their convictions by writing letters directly to the government officials with the power to implement the change,” McDonald said. She indicated it makes a difference that the Women’s Institute is not afraid of potentially controversial conversations. Locally, McDonald cited the Prince Edward District’s lengthy battle for accessible transportation. It started with the formation of a committee in 1989 to study the lack of accessible transit and consult with the public. Members also toured communities with a successful system in place. Ultimately, that committee was dissolved without the desired changes taking place, McDonald learned. She noted, however, that in 2001 the committee was restored. With the Women’s Institute’s leadership and the input of several other organizations, a proposal was drafted — and denied. The members continued until a system was created allowing those without means of transportation to escape isolation and be involved in their community. “Indeed, the system has raised the quality of life for many individuals in the community, and has eradicated the notion that comfortable rural living is solely for the able bodied,” she said. McDonald concluded the Women’s Institute “exudes positivity in itself” and “empowers women and encourages them to be active, present, and engaged in their communities.” She said it offers a platform to people who may have remained silent, and gives rural residents a network of connections to make a difference. “The Women’s Institute creates the foundation upon which every rural community should be built,” she said. “In fact, to deem the organization ‘valuable’ would be an understatement.”

Snider and Ward earn silver at COSSA Panthers poised to compete at OFSAA in Pan Am Games facilities
The Cinderella tennis story continues for Sam Ward and Taylor Snider as the PECI duo earned silver medals at COSSA in Northumberland County last Wednesday. Coach Dave Inch said the team dropped an early decision in the double-elimination competition, but they struggled through and made their way to the final. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The girls shocked us with that result,â&#x20AC;?

The Prince Edward District Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Institute continues to lend its support to an important social event for Grade 8 girls in the county. At its 108th annual general meeting in Albury, Thursday, the organization gave $1,000 to the Recreation Outreach Centre (ROC) to support its overnight girls group (O.G.G.) program. ROC program director Hilary Fennell said for the past four years the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Institute has been the biggest supporter of an overnight trip the girls are able to experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We invite all Grade 8 girls across Prince Edward County for an overnight opportunity to get to know each other and strengthen friendships before they get to a very anxiety-ridden time in their lives, known

Homeowners who take pride in their lawns and gardens know just how problematic weeds can be. Weeds can make otherwise well-manicured and thriving lawns and gardens appear unhealthy and ill-kempt. But homeowners don’t have to sit back and accept weeds as an inevitable byproduct of warm weather. The following are a handful of ways homeowners can handle weed growth so all their hard work is not masked by

the growth of weeds before they even appear to cause you headaches. In addition, mulch helps soil retain moisture, which benefits plants as summer temperatures rise. • Lay landscape fabric. Homeowners who want to do more than mulch can lay landscape fabric in their gardens as well. Landscape fabric will work in much the same way as mulch, blocking sunlight from reaching weed seeds and therefore preventing the weed seeds from germinating. When laying landscape fabric, simply cut holes in the fabric where the plants will be, lay the fabric down and then cover the fabric with mulch.
• Plant strategically. How you plant also can help defeat weeds before they ever appear. Speak with your landscaper or a local lawn and garden professional before planting, asking if it’s possible to plant particular plants close together to prevent weed growth. Plants that are planted in close proximity to one another will block sunlight from reaching the soil, which will make it more difficult for weed seeds to germinate. Weeds are a formidable and unwelcome foe to homeowners who take pride in their lawns and gardens. But there are several ways to combat existing weed infestations and prevent their return in the future. - MCC

unwelcome weeds. • Pull weeds after watering. It might seem odd to water weeds, but watering weeds can actually make it easier to pull them out so they never return. When you pull weeds from soggy soil, you can more easily pull weeds’ entire root system from the ground. That means you aren’t just pulling the stems and leaves, but the entire weed from the ground. • Lay mulch. Mulch can benefit a garden in many ways, not the least of which is helping to prevent the growth of weeds. Mulch prevents sunlight from reaching weed seeds, helping to prevent

How to ensure a successful basement remodel By Scott McGillivray Canadians continue to fuel remodeling spending across the country, driven by upward growth in real estate prices and the rising cost to trade up to a larger home. Basement renovations are expected to be a hot trend in 2016, as buyers look to maximize available living space rather than move, and as young buyers look to offset the cost of homeownership with potential income suites.

While finishing a basement can be a great alternative to moving –– especially if you love your neighborhood — there are some challenges homeowners must be aware of when tackling belowgrade living spaces. Choosing the right products is vital to the comfort, safety and function of your new living area. Look for products that help to maximize energy efficiency and protect against moisture, fire and noise. Here are the top points
to consider to ensure a successful basement renovation. Waterproof it. Check the interior foundation and floors to make sure there are no existing moisture issues, water damage or mold problems. Address any primary moisture issues before finishing the space. Examine grading to ensure water runs away from your foundation. Insulation is key. Insulation plays a critical role in making your basement feel comfortable, while

keeping it safe and dry. For the best results, install a rigid board insulation, like Roxul ComfortBoard IS, against the concrete foundation before you stud the wall. The board is mechanically fastened or adhered to the concrete foundation wall, which prevents thermal bridging through the studs, providing better thermal performance. Finish with a moisture-resistant and dimensionally stable insulation between the studs, like R14 Comfortbatt, to protect against common basement issues such as mold, mildew and rot. Choose a functional design. Draw out plans, carefully taking into consideration any low ceilings or small windows. Try to incorporate structural features, such as attractive wood beams, into your design. Keep the space as open as possible. Select lighting that provides a bright, airy feel. Don’t forget to soundproof it. Soundproofing is the ultimate solution to maximize your basement’s quiet and privacy. Whether your newfound

space will function as a home theatre, music room, home office or playroom, it will benefit from quality acoustic insulation, like Roxul Safe ‘n’ Sound. Not only is it highly effective, but it’s also easy to install. Consider fire safety. Since many basements are now being renovated as income suites, fire protection is also a vital consideration. Whenever possible, select building materials with a high fire-resistance rating and look for products that will not off-gas or contribute to toxic smoke in the event of a fire. Include additional exits in your renovation plan and educate yourself on your local fire code. Before you start your renovation, be sure to check with your municipality to secure the right permits and to ensure that you’re complying with
local bylaws and building codes. Finishing a basement can be a smart renovation, if done properly, adding to a home’s value, increasing its function and providing greater enjoyment or income potential.
