An iconic Canadian figure was honoured in iconic fashion this weekend in Picton. The organizers of the Macdonald Bicentennial Project and award-winning sculptor Ruth Abernethy unveiled the bust of Canada's first prime minister Sir John A. Macdonald at the Regent Theatre on Sunday. The bust is just the first piece of a commissioned life-size bronze sculpture which will depict a 19year-old Macdonald as he presented his first court case in the Picton Courthouse in 1834. The final piece, titled Holding Court, is expected to be unveiled in 2015 — in time for Macdonald's 200th birthday — and will be placed in front of the Armoury in downtown Picton. Macdonald Bicentennial Project chair David Warrick said it was exciting to see the bust unveiled. He said Macdonald's ties to Prince Edward County are strong and are deserving of commemoration. “Macdonald's career began in Picton, but it wasn't just that. It was the fact that he actually contributed to civic life in Prince Edward County before he became an attorney and solicitor while he was here in Picton,” Warrick said. “He was the secretary of the first school board in Prince Edward County and helped to hire

He was a polling clerk for the 12th legislature of Upper Canada in 1834 at the courthouse, so he was involved in civic politics to some extent.” Warrick said not only did Macdonald begin his career in law and public

administration here, he said it could be argued his interest in politics developed here. Aside from all that, Warrick said, was the fact that Macdonald referred to the county as his home. “His family was here. Prince Edward County and

the Bay of Quinte was very dear to Macdonald's affections,” he said. As for the bust, Warrick called the likeness “extraordinary.” Abernethy is renowned for her bronze depictions of Canadian pianist Glenn Gould, golfer Arnold Palmer, and actor

bRonzed Macdonald Bicentennial Project chair David Warrick and renowned sculp-

Al Waxman to name a few. “I would say that what she's done is elevate Macdonald to the status that he richly deserves. It's almost a Greco-Roman bust,” Warrick said. “To me it looks timeless, so that's what people really need to understand about Macdonald. He spent 48 years serving this country and building this country in politics.” Warrick said Abernethy has created a bust “for all ages.” “It's not just a young Macdonald as a teenager. He's seen in a larger context,” he said. He said the final product will be located along Main Street in Picton where Macdonald spent most of his time. Warrick said it's the intention of project organizers to involve Prince Edward County's museums. “The project belongs to the museums of Prince Edward County and all those who have an interest in history and county heritage,” he said. Macdonald's first court case, which the sculpture will depict, is an interesting story in that Macdonald was defending himself. Apparently Macdonald was fond of pranks and one such incursion led to a scuffle with another gentleman on Picton's Main Street. In the end Macdonald successfully defended himself before a judge and jury while his counterpart was fined a token six pence. Within four months Macdonald became an attorney.

A deluge of visitors poured into the Crystal Palace over the weekend to get a taste of what the Prince Edward County terroir has to offer. Each May the Picton landmark becomes home to Terroir: A County Wine Celebration. The annual showcase for new county wines focuses on the distinctiveness the rocks and land of Prince Edward County lend to the food and wine grown from them. Presented by the Prince

Edward Winegrowers Association, over 20 wineries took part, offering a taste of their latest creations and many offering unique gourmet food pairings from local restaurants. Terroir is a unique event in that it brings restaurateurs, winemakers, and the county feel together under one roof. This year the event featured presentations on using social media to enhance a winery visit, a barbecue sauce competition featuring some of the county's top wines and

Additionally, visitors benefited from a round table discussion on terroir featuring Debbie Trenholm, Glenn Symons of Lighthall Vineyards, and Norm Hardie of Norman Hardie Winery and Vineyard, and a seminar on the benefit of cellaring a wine collection with wine writer Tyler Philip. Many wineries also held satellite events throughout the weekend.

Cole was featuring a Summer Sangria cupcake infused with cabernet franc and pinot noir from The County Cider Company. “I decided to do a wineinfused cupcake, infused with Fool on the Hill from County Cider Company,” Cole said. “I infused it with the wine and it's infused into the buttercream icing and a candied zest peel. I was trying to follow the theme of wine for the event and that was very fruity because it's spring and the colours match my theme as well.” Cole said just a few minutes into the event there were already large crowds forming.

Crystal Palace was teeming with activity. “I'm quite elated so far,” she said. “It's only 15 minutes, 20 minutes into it and it's a great turnout.” Kingston residents Jeanette McPherson and Melanie Henderson, who were also attending Terroir for the first time, said they were enjoying the tastes and relaxed atmosphere of the event. “It's very easy going and it's a beautiful venue,”

McPherson said. “It's a great venue and everything is really great.

She agreed with McPherson that the event was well worth a return trip next year. “Absolutely. I would come back and do this again,” she said.

The Clarence Schmalz Cup was on display on Saturday as the Pirates celebrated their Ontario championship with a parade through the streets of Picton. The parade, led by local fire vehicles, took the team from the Prince Edward Community Centre and down Main Street where a crowd had gathered to cheer on the local Junior C champions. The crowd later came together at the community centre for a meet and greet with the players, a barbecue, and a chance to inspect the historic Schmalz Cup, which features the names of legendary defenceman Bobby Orr and former Toronto Maple Leafs enforcer Tie Domi. Pirates coach and general manager Ryan Woodward said he was excited with the number of fans who came out to cheer on the club. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a fantastic turnout here today. I was pleasantly surprised with the support and how energized the crowd was down Main Street and the boys really enjoyed it,â&#x20AC;? Woodward said. Woodward said the players were happy to have another opportunity to get together as a group once again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody is excited to get back together again and

The win still seems to be sinking in for some of the players. Woodward said it's something that takes time to really put into perspective. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were battling for a long time and we went through a lot of things together. It's a pretty special achievement and we're going to enjoy it all summer, but it will take a while before it really sinks in in terms of

what we really did as a group,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We'll enjoy that and look forward to getting back together in the summer for the banquet.â&#x20AC;? Woodward said the win is something the players will remember for the rest of their lives and it's significant milestone for Prince Edward County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is big for Prince Edward County, big for Picton, and for all of our fans that have been a part of our organization over the years to make sure the Pirates are still here in Prince Edward County,â&#x20AC;? he said. Pirates forward Ryan Sizer said the feeling of winning the ultimate Junior C hockey prize was tough

to describe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It sounds pretty cliche, but you're still at a loss for words of how to describe exactly how it felt. I wouldn't have rather done it with another group of guys,â&#x20AC;? he said. He said the support the team received during the parade wasn't surprising. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot more people than I thought there was going to be, but you can always count on the County,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were here for us all year and I didn't expect anything less for the parade.

Prince Edward

The Board of Directors, staff, volunteers and especially the clients of Hospice Prince Edward are very grateful to the community of Prince Edward County for the amazing and outstanding support to make a residential hospice home a reality. With donations from people in this community we were able to buy the home at 40 Downes Avenue in Picton. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perfectly suited to become a 3 bed residential hospice and renovations are almost complete. You see, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re moving on many fronts all at once. With donations already received we bought the house but donations yet to be received will be needed to pay for the renovations. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very much in need of your help to make the thermometer for our â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lighting the Wayâ&#x20AC;? campaign go up to the $875,000.00 mark so that the home can be readied to receive its first occupant. The recently-announced funding of $190,000.00 (yearly) from the South East Local Health Integration Network (SE LHIN) will pay for staffing the home with Nurses and Personal Support Workers. That money will go to the South East Community Care Access Centre (SECCAC) and a contracted agency (eg VON, Paramed) will provide the clinical staff. The full budget for the home is $333,000.00 yearly and we have to raise the rest of the operations budget in this community ($143K). We think that, with your help, we can do it. At the same time, however, we held the very successful Hike for Hospice. We want you to know that the funds realized from Hike for Hospice, The Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Largest Coffee Party and the Autumn Leaves Gala will go towards the operations of the home. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot to do all at once and we are confident in the support of the people in this community to help make the hospice home happen. SE LHIN

cers and Picton food bank volunteers worked in tandem outside Picton Sobeys on Saturday morning to Cram the Cruiser with care packages available for purchase at Sobeys. Early on the officers used a little charm and the chance to sit in the cruiser as an incentive for patrons to donate to the cause. Auxiliary const. Steven Roberge said the auxiliary program is all about helping out the community. “We think it's really important. The food bank is a big part and a big help in our community, so today we're going to try to do our part and get as much food as we can,” he said. Roberge said there are plans to do similar food drives in the future, saying the auxiliary officers will try to do as much as they can. He said food banks provide an essential need for citizens and fulfilling that need can keep people off the streets and out of trouble. “There's nothing more basic than food,” he said.

“… It's a basic need and it all starts with food. It's probably the most important thing we can do to help people.” Food Bank director Pat Romkey thanked the OPP and the community for their help in raising muchneeded items for the food bank. “It was an amazing response, it really was,” she said. “It was really fun.” Romkey said there was a lot of fun around the cruiser with teenagers, young children, and adults alike having a laugh about being inside the police vehicle. “It was a fun thing and we're going to do it again this summer,” she said. “It was amazing.” She said it took a lot of generous people to accumulate 126 bags of groceries in such a short time. “It wasn't only that, some people gave me cash as well instead of the bags. It really added up, it was amazing,” Romkey said. “We did well and we had a great day for it. There was a great variety of food.”

PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY

Looking back in the

Picton Gazette 80 years ago — 1933

■ Prince Edward County Cheesemakers decided to band together to offer seven prizes in an attempt to encourage greater production and improve overall cheese quality in the county. The prizes were awarded for cheese quality, factory conditions and improvements, and yields. ■ The Norwegian goodwill training ship Sorandet passed Point Traverse on its way to Chicago. The ship crossed the Atlantic carrying a crew of 88 naval apprentices on its way to the World’s Fair. The ship was reportedly the third famous vessel from Europe to cross by the county within a week’s time. ■ High winds brought the local fisheries to a halt for a day as all small crafts were kept at their quays. A tug from Oswego, N.Y. Billy, did brave the waters to cross the lake to Pt. Traverse and it arrived at the harbour two hours behind schedule. It’s skipper said “It sure was rough.’ ■ The province offered the public debenture loans to cover $25 million with various return rates in order to pay for shortterm debt incurred for capital projects.

60 years ago — 1953

■ North Marysburgh township council appointed 17 people to canvass residents for the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Building Fund. Following an organizational meeting, those appointees were to be sent door to door to collect. ■ Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation was to be observed with three days of functions throughout Prince Edward County, starting with special church services Sunday and concluding with public holidays in Picton, Bloomfield, and Wellington with parades and special public events featuring war veterans and winners of prestigious Coronation medals. ■ The Rotary Club of Picton celebrated the 10th anniversary of its founding. Charter treasurer John Arnaud reported the club had raised more than $51,014 to spend on community projects, crippled children, and other Rotary initiatives.

40 years ago — 1973

■ County councillors grilled engineer Donald Clark about the condition of the Big Island Causway, which was under a few inches water as Lake Ontario rose to record levels. Clark indicated the county had applied for special assistance to put the road into proper shape by raising it. ■ The Prince Edward Yacht Club was to be the headquarters of the Quinte District Rendez-vous of the Canadian Power Squadron. It was expected to host a number of yachting visitors who would be in the area June 23-24 for competitions.

20 years ago — 1993

■ The Prince Edward County Board of Education reached a two-year collective bargaining agreement with its 65 secondary school teachers. The contract included no salary increase, but new wording on seniority, maternity and parental leaves, and benefit packages with enhanced vision and dental care. The board would return to the negotiating table to bargain with 134 elementary teachers without a contract since August. ■ Residents of 150 homes operated by the Ontario Ministry of Government Services at Prince Edward H eights were not to place blue boxes out because funds were not available to pay for recy-

Offering a gesture of compassion

In the approaching darkness, I could make out the outline of a vehicle along the shoulder of the highway, and a crouched human figure near the centerline. With something in his clutch, he darted to the shoulder of the highway beside his car and placed the object on the ground and kept looking at it, nudging it ever so gently with his foot. Likely, a turtle, I thought. Curious, I turned around and drove back and pulled in behind the parked vehicle. The person who had taken the trouble to park, and rescue this animal, and now stared at it compassionately, was an OPP officer. The animal he now gazed upon was a young cottontail rabbit. He had either witnessed the rabbit getting struck, or had come across the animal writhing on the asphalt. In either case, he took the time to rescue the animal, but seemed to be in a quandary as to what the next move should be. “I certainly can’t leave it here like this. It won’t stand a chance,” the officer said as he continued to look at the rabbit, alive, but remaining motionless, and breathing heavily. The limp body I now held in my hand showed no sign of broken bones, or injury other than a slightly bleeding foot. A drop of blood still clung to its nose, and hair was shedding from its body like leaves from a tree. The miracle rabbit seemed to have escaped death or injury

by a speeding car and came out of it with nothing more than a cracked toenail ! I placed the hit and run rabbit in the back of my car, and took it the remaining few kilometres home. Although it was late, I treated its injured foot, prepared a large box and lined it with an old bed sheet and placed the animal in one of my outbuildings for the night. Next morning I opened the door to find the rabbit staring at me with glistening eyes. It appeared to have enjoyed a complete recovery, rare for any road casualty these days. I questioned the rabbit’s complete recovery, at least, psychologically, as it hopped down the driveway, and then sat out in the middle of the road. Was it now invincible? I ushered it back into the yard where it con-

tinues to enjoy the rest of our backyard menagerie that has called our property home. It was one of the lucky ones that somehow managed to survive the daily carnage that is our highways today. A few other hit and run victims become lucky survivors too. They are the ones that turn up at the Sandy Pines Wildlife Centre in Napanee, all of them brought in my volunteers. Turtles with cracked carapaces, birds with broken wings, foxes with fractured legs, birds of prey with shotgun wounds, and others with unknown trauma. Weekly, I get e-mails from this rehabilitation centre announcing new arrivals and recent releases. It never stops, and neither do the volunteers. According to their web site www.sandypineswildlife.org , over 2,000 mammals, birds and turtles were admitted to the well know wildlife centre last year. Many of these were roadside casualties. Ribbons of death. Says one web site on the subject, “Meanwhile the only road with no roadkill is the information superhighway. When you are searching on your computers, database searches yield few citations and provide fewer clues. Humorous cookbooks dish out roadkill recipes, but no food for thought. ‘Flattened Fauna,’ a satirical field guide, offers barely one page of straight facts. Even some dictionaries fall silent.”

Meloni (Horton) Crandall to the general manager position. Crandall also had been working at the facility since 2005 in a full-time capacity, where she most recently serviced as the assistant general manager and aquatics and children’s director. In that role, she received direct mentorship from Roth and developed much of the skill set required to take on the senior job. A recreation and leisure services graduate from Loyalist College, Crandall said she is excited to continue working at a facility that she believes strongly in.

“I love working at PEFAC. I love watching people take charge of their wellness,” she said. “I’ve been here long enough to see real changes in folks. I’m excited about the future of PEFAC and look forward to working with staff and their input to make it even better.” PEFAC president Bill Halnan said both Crandall and Roth were instrumental from Day 1 in ensuring the county didn’t lose access to the pool the Lester family had the foresight to build. He said Crandall worked hard to help keep it close to 2,500 uses per

Another source gives statistics on human deaths in traffic accidents. But it neglects to reveal data on the animals whose deaths it does not even define as accidents. In our lexicon, humans are living flesh and traffic deaths. But animals are little more than dead meat and roadkills. Few drivers today slow down or attempt to avoid animals that make their way onto a highway. If they are hit, a few may stop to remove the carcass from the highway out of respect, but most don’t. By the end of day, they become flattened fauna and unceremoniously join the plethora of raccoons, turtles and other roadside hit and runs. And few will take the time to stop and show any concern if an animal is seen on the highway, injured. This driver did. And if this OPP officer from the Picton detachment is reading this, I want him to know that at least one person noticed his unselfish gesture to save the life of a helpless animal that had made an error in judgment and decided to dart out into traffic.

PEFAC looks within to replace departing general manager

When the only general manager the Prince Edward Fitness and Aquatics Centre (PEFAC) has ever known decided it was time to move on, the facility didn’t have to look too far to find its next leader. After helping to create the non-profit centre in 2005, Stephanie Roth announced this week she would be leaving to accept a position as a SAFESTART account manager with national safety training organization Electrolab Ltd. in Bellevile. With that news, the facility’s board elected to promote

month and she is also known in the community as a ball player and golfer as well as an individual who recently won a Community Living award for inspiring possibility in adults. Halnan said while Roth will be greatly missed and the board and membership wish her the best, the facility is in excellent hands. “As a board we already experience Meloni as a strong team leader and we are pleased she has accepted the role of general manager.” -Staff

Macdonald statue could be real civic asset for Picton

THE stories of Canada’s first prime minister, Sir John A. Macdonald are shared in schools across the land and as such, he is known by many for his role in Confederation and in nation building, his desire to see the railroad spread west, and yes, his fondness for an occasional drink. As a result, Macdonald remains one of the best known and most beloved prime ministers of the 21 men and one woman who have led this country. There are parts of Macdonald — both in his largerthan-life legends and his well-known signs of humanity — that linger for most Canadians living from west to east to be celebrated and, perhaps, those have been celebrated nationally more than any other politician, given the polarizing nature of heavyweights like Pierre Trudeau, who repatriated Canada’s constitution and more recent long-term leaders like Brian Mulroney and Jean Chretien. While there’s something very special about the man John A. Macdonald became and what he accomplished, there is also merit in sharing the man he was along that journey — the one that county residents and others in the broader region knew when he was a child and when he was a young man developing his rhetorical skills in the field of law here in Prince Edward County. Seeing the bronze bust of Macdonald unveiled by Ruth Abernethy at the Regent Theatre last weekend should capture the imagination of people across the county as they think of ways that they can share in the celebration of one of this country’s finest nation builders and his life right here in our midst. Dreamers from across Canada can come to Picton’s Main Street to see the 10th bronze statue of Macdonald and undoubtedly, they’ll sit in the box and tell their ideas to a man who wasn’t afraid to share his own, regardless of the company. Maybe, somewhere, a local museum will delve more into the man and his times here, which will keep visitors in the Picton area for more than a few fleeting minutes and that will give them pause to consider the rich United Empire Loyalist history this town is built on, but also the many friendly amenities that would have fascinated the young barrister. Indeed, the idea of a John A. Macdonald town square, just steps from an operational Carnegie library and one of the finest small town theatres anywhere in the province is one that would only compliment the brand Picton is trying to discover, while offering just one more special venue for the arts or for political discourse, as surely ol’ Mac would be all ears for a stirring discussion about the value of a hospital within his community, or how wind turbines might tower overhead. While the people of the county do celebrate and share claim to John A. Macdonald, recognition on the scale proposed is much deserved and a source of civic pride that is long overdue. It’s time to get on board with this project and see a county boy (and his many friends across Canada) rightfully home.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

A heartfelt thank-you to family’s benefactors

I write these words in an attempt to express to you how incredibly appreciative and humbled I feel over the creation of the registry and over those who donated. At first, I thought Kate was crazy. Why would people want to donate? Why would they care? After hearing “because they want to”, I needed to go into my past, and here’s why. When I met my husband, Ian, he was born and raised in Brockville and could not understand how we county folk work. I remember telling him, “We take care of each other – that’s just how it works.” But I couldn’t believe when

we went to book the trip, how much had been donated and was still coming in. I still ask myself why and who but instead, embrace the love that was given to Ian, Logan, Gabe and I, and planned the trip of a lifetime. And it was. The amazing hotel and view of the savannah and animals, fine dining and never being hungry, and every luxury possible that we could have never have been able to have on our own. Thank you to family, friends, colleagues, friends of friends, and strangers who put into the registry and sent in donations. The memories that we created

for our family will last long after I’m called home to heaven and we have you all to thank for it. A special thank you to: Kate Shehbaz (Sharpe) for creating the registry so selflessly, and for all the encouragement, support – without you, this would never had happened; to Stephen Marshall and Lindsey Welsh for assisting us whenever needed, joining Kate in her efforts of support and fundraising; to Virginia at Maritime Travel in Napanee for convincing me to go now, enjoy it, and planning every detail; to Jason Parks and the Picton Gazette for writing such an amazing article; and to

Teresa Brown (Ryan) for telling me to go, that I needed to go and see my kids at Disney World while I still can. Thank you to you all for caring for us so much and being in my life. And to my wonderful, amazing best friend and husband, Ian, for planting the idea to go, for giving me the courage to go, and loving me and our family so much that you would do anything to make this dream come true. I thank you and love you all, to the moon and back. Kana Claus-Gifford Belleville

Take the proper steps to be heard at QHC meetings

On Tuesday, June 25, the Quinte Healthcare Corporation (QHC) will hold its annual general meeting. For those QHC stakeholders that would be interested in attending this meeting or making a presentation here is the board policy regarding members of the public speaking at board meetings. "Members of the public may not address the board or ask questions of the board without the permission of the chair. Individuals who wish to address or raise questions with the board must make his/her request, in writing, through the office of the president and chief executive officer at least 14 days in advance of the Board meeting. In making a request, the individuals or group should indicate the following: Topic to be addressed, name(s) of pre-

senter(s),audio-visual requirements,understanding that the presentation will not exceed 10 minutes in length. The board chair and chief executive officer will assess and prioritize the requests. Written confirmation of attendance, if approved, will be provided to the individual or group making the request. The Chair of the Board of Directors has the right to determine the appropriateness of any any presentation. Any one delegation or presentation will be limited to a maximum of ten minutes unless otherwise agreed by the board chair and chief executive officer." In light of the severe service cuts that have taken place at PECM and Trenton Memorial hospitals there

may be some who wish to address the QHC board.You may do so by contacting Kathryn Noxon, executive assistant to the board of directors with your request.She may be reached at 613-969-7400 ext 2199, e-mail:knoxon@qhc. on.ca. Keep in mind that QHC board meetings and AGMS are always open to the public, however you cannot speak unless you have made a request at least 14 days in advance of the board meeting. This would mean that your request must be made by Tuesday, June 11. The location and time of the AGM should be posted in the local media a few weeks before the meeting. For your information QHC is governed by a 17person board of directors, made up of 12 volunteer

selected directors and 5 exofficio directors.The ex-officio board members do not have a vote. Of the 12 directors who do have a vote, six of them reside in Prince Edward County. QHC also has an advisory council comprised of 54 members representing the areas that QHC serves. The 54 members do not have a vote but hopefully will be in attendance representing their communities. For your interest all major service cuts that take place at QHC's four hospitals must be approved by the QHC board of directors. Hopefully the above information on board policy will be helpful to those who plan on attending QHC's AGM. Fran Renoy Picton

Reader’s message is simple: No more contractors

Here we go again: Hiring more outside consultants for project management services for fire halls at a cost of $120,277.20 cents. Is that taxes in ? If all levels of government in Canada began hiring 'competent' people to manage the

complexities of cities, provinces and the country there 'should' be no need to keep hiring expensive outside consultants. The money spent on hiring outside consultants alone would provide enough funding to maintain roads and

other infrastructure in all of Canada and then some. .I still remember when someone asked the CEO of the company that I once worked for if they could bring in an outside consultant for a complex project. The CEO's immediate

response... " OK, but if we bring in a consultant, then we have to let you go." The project was completed by company people. The message: no more consultants. Wolf Braun Wellington

Clic shooters submit sharper images Jurors pleased by quality of entries for 2013 photo show AdAm BrAmBurger Staff writer

In the fourth year of the Clic Eastern Ontario Photo Show, entrants dialed their lenses into the type of quality that excites both jurors and organizers alike. Last Thursday, the show’s three jurors — renowned black-and-white photographer Graham Davies, Photo Life magazine columnist and educator Richard Martin, and actress Marilyn Lightstone — were in Picton to pare down the more than 300 submissions received into those worthy of hanging at the show July 25- August 10 at Books & Company. The standard is surprisingly high,” said Davies. “My impression is that it’s almost as if we had done a first cut before today. There are not many we’re saying ‘absolutely not’ to.” Sequestered in the board room at the home of the Prince Edward County Arts Council in the Edward Building, the jurors were independently shown images in the adult and student black-and-white and colour categories. “The jury process is completely blind. They don’t know the photographer or anything other than the number assigned,” explained Clic chair Erin Johnston. “They’re using a ‘yes, no, or maybe’ criteria and we’re planning to hang around 100. That’s the number they’re looking for.” The jurors were instructed to search for creativity, originality, and general photo composition as criteria. For the most part, the jurors said the entries met their standard of quality, with Lightstone saying some of the ones she rejected came

ual influences and artistic preferences, the jurors returned to work that afternoon to make their cases for or against pieces that were on the cusp of making the show. The jurors work isn’t quite finished yet, however. On July 24, they’ll come together again to begin judging for the Doug Boult Award for the best photo in the show as well as the top three finishers in each category. Overall, Johnston said she believes the show is making some real strides this year. Though she said the number of entries wasn’t much greater than in previous years, one-third of them came from new entrants. She also added her belief that the show is drawing more attention from serious photographers. “People know when to expect it and they look forward to entering,” she said. “The number of entries stayed about the same, but there’s a huge jump in the level of photography being entered.” Johnston said the Clic organizing committee is also looking for a breakthrough year at the gate this year as it has had received generous help from sponsors and spent time to upgrade its web site and social media presence. A change to the exhibition dates could also add to the experience. “We had more than 1,500 visitors over the week last year and this year we’ve extended the show for two weeks,” she said. “We’re hoping to see a large rise in visitors.” Johnston said an upward trend in photographers selling prints also has both shooters and visitors eagerly anticipating the event.

more from personal bias because she’s seen similar shots too often before. “I’m looking for something that strikes me emotionally, either movement or a different point of view,” she said. Davies, who said he always hated the subjective notion of juried shows as a photographer, said he tries to put himself in the entrant’s shoes when judging their work. He said he looks for obvious Photoshop abuse that takes away from images, but in most cases, he’s just looking for the presentation put before him at the time. “With a really good photographer, it doesn’t matter what they’re shooting with,” he said. “Great images manage to engage the viewer regardless.” Martin agreed, saying he doesn’t see a particular lens or camera, but only the visual presented to him.” Lightstone said she found 10 shots imprinted on her brain, and oddly enough when representatives of the arts council tallied the scores from the blind testing, the three jurors seemed to pick the same pieces as definites to include in the show. Though Davies questions the idea of a student category, given that all of the students might have had different levels of guidance behind their work, his colleague Martin was quick to offer compliments for those entrants. “I saw the exhibition last year and I came away really impressed with the students,” he said. “Once again, their work is of a high level.” After taking a break to enjoy some local cuisine and talk about their own individ-

Broken Stone owners grow family in the city and dream in the county

Two weeks ago Delores and I hosted our 4th annual Opimian Tour and this year we decided to stop at a winery that wasn't even open yet (they officially opened the long weekend). We wanted to give our members the opportunity to see exactly what new owners were thinking when they decided to make the big jump and open a winery and Tim and Micheline Kuepfer of Broken Stone Winery did not disappoint! They treated our members with stories of their trials and tribulations and then treated them to a tasting of their 3 vintages of Pinot noir, which were thoroughly enjoyed! Tim and Micheline were raised in smaller communities who wound up working corporate careers in Toronto (I hear that a lot in the county - wait, that's also Delores and I). They have three

Ontario. After university they met in Toronto, married, and settled into careers selling financial data and doing market segmentation analysis. In 2007 they became interested in the idea of buying a vineyard. They had heard the buzz around Prince Edward County as a new wine region and talked a lot about the idea of buying property in the country, but it didn't seem possible as their finances at the time just wouldn't permit it. That Christmas, Micheline didn't know what to buy Tim. She asked him again and again what he would like but he just said not to buy him anything but she just wouldn't give up. Finally in exasperation he threw down the gauntlet, and glibly said "buy me either ... uh ... book about someone who quits his job and takes his family to sail

around the world for a year ... or ... a book about someone who moves from Toronto with his family to start a vineyard in Prince Edward County." He was surprised to receive a book about that very subject ("A Fool and Forty Acres" by Geoff Heinrichs.) and a seed was planted! The next spring they took a jaunt out to Waupoos Winery. They both got the bug and started making trips to look at farms and land for sale. In the Fall, Tim volunteered to pick grapes at Sugarbush Vineyards and received a friendly County welcome from Sally and Rob Peck. He believes they did try to dissuade him from the idea of starting a vineyard and explained that it was a lot of work... but by then they were beyond help. They saw that Sally and Rob

were doing it successfully and they also had three kids and a job in Ottawa. So they believed they could do it as well. Armed with the possibility of the idea becoming reality they offered to buy a 34 acre piece of land that had three hayfields, a forest, and a one acre vineyard. When their offer was accepted, they decided to take the next step and have been taking it step by step ever since. Four years later they're still working on their dream. They are enjoying every step of the way, but are realizing there are sacrifices. Their vision was to raise their kids on a farm, but they are growing up faster than their dream is. The kids love the idea of the county, but they also love their friends in the city. They are now thinking they will have to continue with one foot in the city and one foot in the county until they are grown. But they are finding it a real juggling act. Between hockey, swimming, soccer, and karate, two full time jobs, and the vineyard they find it challenging. And a winery is really three businesses in one: the vineyard, the winery and the store. So right now they are thinking about how to make it all work out. Finances are also a consideration. As long as they keep their city jobs and interest rates are low, their cash flow is great. However, the winery is still in startup mode and requires continuous cash infusions to grow. They realize it will need that for a while as they build their sales and the Broken Stone name. The opening of the winery store has been a huge help

with cash flow but they are realistic and realize it will be a while before it returns any money to them. That's why they feel it's so critical for as many people to enjoy Broken Stone wine as possible. They want to make a delicious wine from County grapes that their friends like to buy, that contributes to the reputation of their winery and the region. They believe that if people think their wine is delicious and they buy it the county will benefit. The more the county benefits, the closer they will come to realizing their dream of living on their land. Tim was asked what he thought made county wine special. Was it the terroir or the climate? He believes it all factors in but also thinks that in the county the people add so much: from the helpful neighbours who trained them on how to farm, to the generous winegrowers community, to the welcoming locals. They are from "Away", but have never felt that way. They feel that without the people, there would be no community, and without the community, they would be unable to make wine. So when a wine comes from Prince Edward County, what really makes it special and possible are the people. Here’s an update on the www.GreatCanadianWineMatch.com contest, which ends Saturday. All six county wines are in the finals. Go and vote! Let's put the county on the wine map of Canada! -Joe Hache maintains an independent guide to local wineries at www.princeedwardcountywineries.com.

Quinte’s Isle features Ontario’s leading bluegrass bands Festival organizer hopes event can serve as launching pad for rising local talent AdAm BrAmBurger Staff writer

Don’t look for a big-name headliner band from south of the border at this weekend’s Quinte’s Isle Bluegrass Celebration , none will be there. That’s not a problem for organizer Melissa Sherman, however. She indicated over the past few years, the festival has made an active push to feature Ontario-based bands. “For the last two years we’ve gone 100-per-cent Canadian,” she said. “We realized it wasn’t necessarily who we had there that mattered. Bluegrass is a genre that’s alive in this area and people are getting to know where to find it.” Sherman said her band, Hard Ryde, had been doing shows in the United States in the past, but were denied at the border over a period of about five years because of visa issues. She said that

experience helped her decide that instead of paying for big American acts, the Cherry Valley stage could be one that encourages and develops regional talent. Sherman said one day, as the festival grows, they might bring in bands from the Maritime or Prairie provinces, but right now, the organizers are finding ways to pay their bills and bringing in bands who are more interested in the atmosphere than the money. The organizers of the fourday event are quite clear, however, that they have a lot to offer the community. First, each year, there is a silent auction with all money going to the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundaiton. Sherman said there are lots of deals for local visitors to get there. “There’s a lot of local gift certificates that can be had for great deals,” she said. “A lot of people head home Sunday

and have no use for them unless they stay.” Sherman also said a lot of the spectators buying the festival passes are staying at Quinte’s Isle and other resorts and bed and breakfasts in the county. They’ll likely spend some money locally. “We’re trying to help tourism and small business, they'll stop along the way. A lot of them do venture out and do things,” she said. The music starts at 6 p.m. Friday and continues through until 2:45 p.m. Sunday at the Quinte’s Isle Campark and features acts like Bill MacDonald, Blue River, Jim Hayward and Willowridge, Higher Ground, Acoustical Strings, Concession 23, Maple Hill, Sweetgrass, and Hard Ryde. Sherman also said people can expect a lot of jamming by the campfire, even into the

Unfortunately we do not also provide the labour to help bring about those changes! As a result of one such call I visited a young couple with a three year old and a baby in the early spring of last year. The previous year they had responded to a sign in a local store to obtain assistance with the garden of their recently purchased home. Unfortunately the wellmeaning garden help had managed to destroy a tree through over zealous pruning and had replaced it with another tree. He had cleaned up other areas but left it rather barren in appearance. Susan, who was home on a maternity leave that would finish in October, wanted to use some of her time to improve the front and back gardens on her own this year but did not know where to start. She also wanted to spend as little money as possible as the family budget was particularly tight due to this maternity leave. They began by discussing their hopes for the front of the house which had obviously had a well planned garden in some distant past. The front garden bed is attractively curved beginning at the

front of the house and finishing at the street. There were some well established rose bushes which had endured some inappropriate pruning, plus a few larger shrubs in the same state. There was also a smallish maple in good condition towards the road end of the curved bed. After some discussion it was determined that a family member’s offer of a pink peony and a purple lilac would make good additions at the front of the house. One more shrub, a Goldfinger Potentilla, was recommended for summer round colour since they wanted a yellow flowering shrub. There was some discussion of how to improve the current pruning efforts including the name of an easy to use pruning book. The lawn was very uneven and filled with an invasive weed they correct-

ly called ‘creeping charlie’. Lawn repair was postponed for another year when they might have the money to have it graded, rolled and resodded. John would take on the removal of the original sod and the invasive weeds at that time. The back garden was large but somewhat barren in appearance. There was a large deck off sliding glass doors, appropriately railed in to keep young children safe. The whole garden was fenced in with a wide gate opening up onto the side driveway. There had been garden beds around the outside edges of the yard but no recognizable plants remained. Clearly the job of rescuing and maintaining all of the beds would require considerable ongoing labour. Some strategically placed curved beds would soften the look of the large rectangular area. Given the ages of their children, the deck and the shady area near the deck was where they wanted to spend time with their children for the foreseeable future. Other than installing a covered sand box they were happy with the lawn in that area. Their newly planted tree donated by their previous garden help was planted just beyond the steps from the deck but far enough to allow for future growth. It had unfortunately been planted so that the soil covering the tree roots was a good eight inches above the surrounding soil. With the size of this tree it would be costly

to replant so that the top of its root ball was level with the surrounding soil. It was suggested that instead, a large circular bed raised the same eight inches be built out from the base of the tree and kept well watered when there was insufficient rain. Given the large area they had to work with, it was easy to locate spaces where they could dig out sections to accommodate the other items on their wish list. Susan wanted to begin a vegetable garden and a flower garden with her three year old, and as well they wanted to begin to grow raspberries and strawberries. With the costs of bedding plants they decided to use seeds where possible, and stick to annuals for the flowers in this first year. They would also purchase some compost mix to dig into their new beds initially. They would focus on the projects that involved their eldest child first. Other than the recommendation for a specific pruning book it was suggested that they use the library for gardening books and the internet for specific questions but to avoid sites which were selling products.

The further the parade went, the more people were lined along the streets, Sizer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was really cool. Everybody got loud and the horns were going â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it was fun,â&#x20AC;? he said. Sizer described the season as a roller coaster, but was quick to point to team staff as a big contributor to the team's success. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Woody did an excellent job picking up the guys he

did. Everybody fit in their own little spot and winning the league â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with the winning streak we had â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we knew the league was in reach,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got a bit of a wake-up call in the first (Schmalz Cup) series against Lakefield but, after we won that, there was no looking back.â&#x20AC;? Forward Eric Hayes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who scored the goal in overtime to give the Pirates a victory in the replay of Game 1 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; said Saturday was an exciting day to spend with teammates, family, and fans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's obviously exciting and it's very nice for the county to have something like this happen. It's great to be a part of it,â&#x20AC;? Hayes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was pretty happy with the turnout and I'm glad we have all the support here in Picton for such a small town, really. It's great for the guys.â&#x20AC;? Hayes said it was a special feeling to come together with a championship group and getting the chance to play this year while still attending school in Ottawa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was lucky enough to get a chance this year, while up in Ottawa for school and everything, to come back and play once in a while and be with the guys,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's a special team, it's a great group of guys and we're all pretty excited about what we accomplished this year.â&#x20AC;? As for the parade, getting a chance to mingle with fans, and reflecting on the season, Hayes summed up his feelings succinctly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I'm loving every minute of it,â&#x20AC;? he said.

He would certainly have known about them and he probably knew many of them personally,” Abernethy said. “It's a classic ping pong game addressing the judge and jury … he wants them to reconsider what they think they already know.” Abernethy said Macdonald was “remarkable” and said she's always had a fondness for his history. “The phrases about how adored he was by both men and women and by people who agreed with him and by people who didn't agree with him — it speaks volumes about who he was as an individual,” she said.

Panthers outlast Saints in semifinal Quinte pitching can’t handle PECI’s deep batting order AdAm BrAmBurger

Staff writer

Though they boast one of the most explosive batting orders in the Bay of Quinte league, the PECI Panthers opted to bide their time and wear down the Quinte Saints’ pitching Monday. The Panthers kept Saints’ ace southpaw Kyle Oliver busy through the first three innings as they managed two runs per side, then opened it up when he left the game in the fifth, walking off with a 13-2 mercy victory in the semifinal affair. From leadoff hitter Josh Arnold being hit by a pitch through the lineup, the Panthers kept Oliver on edge as he often tried to check runners leading off on first base. PECI would score first as Arnold and George Goddard crossed home plate on a double Bob Wilson crushed to the left field fence before being thrown out at third base. The bottom of the Panthers order delivered in the second inning as Andrew Dayton kept things going by stealing first base after a two-out strikeout pitch was dropped.Six Panthers managed to reach base in succession as pinch runner Riley McConnell and Pat Macpherson found their way around to score in front of singles by Phil Seguin, Arnold, and Kyle Gould. “That second inning helped us to get (Oliver) out of the game early,” said Gould. “It was our game plan to get a good start, get some runs on him, and take him out of the game before anything could happen.” The Panthers continued to pound in the third as Wilson led off with a bloop single, then Goddard belted a triple to the right field fence. Goddard would score himself on a dramatic doublesteal attempt. “We've always been aggressive on the base path this year,” Goddard explained. “We take aggressive leads, practice smart base running, and capitalize on their errors.” Down 6-0 and unable to answer PECI’s own lefty Macpherson, the Saints managed to rally for their best inning in the fourth. With a walk and a missed fielder’s choice to start the inning, Jayden Jones capitalized by knocking in both of

his base runners with a hard hit grounder through the middle infield. In relief, pitcher Kyle Gould managed to get the next two batters out to keep the Panthers in front. Oliver and Gould traded shutdown innings in the bottom of the fourth and top of the fifth, but Quinte’s bullpen didn’t have an answer for the Panther lineup in the fifth inning. With Matt Gallo and Goddard on base, Ryan Forrester put a little more distance on the score with a two-run bloop single over third base, then the team took advantage of some pitching control issues with Scott McQuaid hit by a pitch and Jared Found and Seguin walked, one run scoring with the bases full. Arnold singled in another run, then Gould ended the game, belting a double to right field that scored the run needed for the 10-run mercy and one extra. “Going into that last inning, it was 6-2, so it was anything but won,” said coach Matt Ronan. “We were able to open things up and good things happened.” Ronan said he was pleased that he could count on batters 1-10 to make an impact in the contest, and indeed, each one did make it on base. The coach was also pleased with the way his own left-handed pitcher, Macpherson, managed to

carry himself as the Panthers have now gone with the young thrower in three consecutive contests. “Patty worked really hard in the off-season and he increased (the speed of his) fastball seven or eight miles an hour. In the season throwing a lot of strikes,” said Ronan. “I don’t think he expected to start today, but once he settled down, we were fine.” Macpherson struck out four batters, allowed just three hits, and walked three in three and one-third innings of work. The hardthrowing Gould struck out two batters and allowed just

one hit to mop up. The win helped the unbeaten Panthers advance to the Bay of Quinte final against the St. Theresa Titans. Originally scheduled for yesterday at 2 p.m. soggy field conditions pushed the start time to today at 2 p.m. Since the Titans upset the Panthers on the strength a remarkable pitching performance last year, PECI has been chomping at the bit for a chance to return to the title competition. Whoever throws, they say they’ll try a similar approach. “It’s the same thing, we’ve got to get on the pitcher early,” said Goddard.

Despite what you might have heard or read, players in the Ontario Junior Hockey League will not be paying for the privilege to play in the province's top Junior A loop next season. Not unless teams decide to make them. Confused yet? That's ok, so are a lot of people connected with the OJHL. The confusion stems in part from an Oakville Beaver story from last week with the unfortunate headline “OJHL teams to make players pay.” If you had been following the OJHL for the past few years and read that headline, you would have assumed the loop's board of governors had decided to institute a pay-to-play model that had been passed around the board table for the past few months. The idea has its proponents and detractors and under one example proposed, the league would have collected $4,500 per player on top of the Ontario Hockey Association and OJHL League fees that players are already on the hook for. The fees would have meant an established standard of operation for each member club including practice time ratios and equipment standards. But not so. The board of governors shot down a league mandated pay-to-play concept at the April meeting. But they also rescinded the league bylaw that stopped member teams from collecting fees from players. So that means the 22 clubs that make up the league on on their own volition as to whether they charge players to suit up in 2013-2014. What this does to the collective playing field of the OJHL and the recruitment efforts as some players will be looking to save their money by playing Junior B and C hockey where the pay-to-play concept is still foreign will remain to be

mArtY ABrAmS

seen. Wellington Dukes coach and general manager Marty Abrams said he has no idea what other teams in the league will be doing moving forward nor what they have done in the past. In order to get around the formally outlawed practice of having players pay a clandestine fee to play, teams had 'equipment fees,' 'travel fees, or billet subsidies that players were responsible for. “I'm sure there's been teams in the past that have found a way to charge players to play,” Abrams said. The rescinding of the bylaw pushes ahead the day of reckoning many believe is coming for Junior A hockey in the province. A minor-sized league with costs that are becoming major league, the OJHL can't figure it what it is. The one universal truth is that the system or model that brought Tier II Junior A hockey to this point can't carry it any further. In the Beaver article, Oakville Blades general manager Duncan Harvey said he figured that the organization — one of the OJHL's most successful over the past decade — will charge about $3,000 per player to play this season. Harvey is critical of the model, stating “The model is based on $60 an hour for ice and $10 wood sticks” Abrams said he doesn't agree with all of Harvey's opinions in the story but that statement rings true. “It can't continue this way and it's a very serious situation,” Abrams said.

Norton puts in another big day at COSSA championship PECI qualifies 12 athletes in 16 events for East Regional meet in Belleville Jason Parks

Staff writer

And the beat goes on for Cole Norton and the PECI Track and Field team. Up against the top runners, throwers and jumpers in Central Ontario, Norton and club continued to make a name for themselves last week at Mary Ann Sills Park, shattering a pair of records and claiming five gold medals. Norton was tops in the junior boys 100-metre (11.01) and 200-metre (23.13) sprints, setting new Central Ontario Secondary School Athletics Conference records in both events. Norton's golden day wasn't done in the individual events, however, as he also secured a first in the junior boys 4 x 100-metre relay event. Norton, Blaine Swackhammer, Graysen St. Pierre and Lucas Clarke teamed up to get the baton around the track in 46.86 s, a COSSAwinning mark. St. Pierre, a medium distance runner by trade, also had a strong showing, winning the 400-metre race with a time of 56.47. Courtney Wilson, a senior thrower, added the PECI gold medal rush, taking first in the girls discus event with a toss of 32.58 m. Wilson also managed a bronze in the shot put (10.02 m) and fifth in the javelin (26.43 m). Overall, PECI qualified 12 athletes in 16 events for the East Regional track and field meet starting today in Belleville. “It was rainy and cold but it was still a great day for our team,” PECI track coach Suzanne White said. “We have 12 athletes through to the East Regional meet this

Billet fees now under consideration

FUNDING, from page 24

The previous model sustained the clubs through the 1980s and 1990s where general fundraising and ticket sales offset the costs of running Junior hockey clubs. But costs (ice rentals, bus costs, equipment and stick costs) have quickly eclipsed the capacity of both volunteer-run and even owned hockey clubs to meet those requirements. “We were on the fence on a pay-to-play model. We know as an organization we have to do something and do it soon,” Abrams said. “It's no one's fault. The fan support is second to none, the corporate business support is second to none, it's just a sign of the times. The model is broken across the league and it's broken in Wellington too.” One of the options the club is looking at is having players pay their own billet fees which are about $240 per month. This is not unheard of in other leagues and, in fact, the 2011 Royal Bank Cup champion Pembroke Lumber Kings subscribed to this model. “Whatever we decide to do, we have to have it in place soon,” Abrams added.

week and that's a great number moving on to the next level.” White said St. Pierre and Wilson had dominating performances in their events and look to be seeded well for the two-day championships which kick off this morning at the Sills park. As for Norton, his times have been otherworldly as he builds towards North America's largest track and field meet next month in Oshawa. “Cole's a unique athlete in that he's training hard and is involved in the sport at high levels outside of the school,” White said. “He's looking at the overall picture. While winning results and times are nice and exciting, Cole is building towards something special and that keeps him grounded.” Norton agreed. While the junior sprinter is focused on a podium finish at OFSAA, he uses meets like the COSSA event to challenge himself. Going into last weeks event, Norton was hoping to eclipse the Central Ontario marks. “It's awesome to set these new marks. That feeling that I'm going to be in the record books is satisfying. I had these goals for myself going into this meet but it's good to get into the next stage and build towards OFSAA,” Norton said. Norton has been a good influence on the relay squad and is enjoying the ride he, St. Pierre, Swackhammer and Clarke are on. “Our aim is to get to OFSAA. We just want to make it happen and get to the next level,” Norton said. St. Pierre and Swackhammer are last minute fill ins for

injured Panthers that were scratched just prior to the Bay of Quinte meet earlier this month and the anchor of the squad is appreciative of their efforts. “We came across them and they are really good athletes. It's amazing for PECI to have this team and be factor at this level,” he added. Other PECI athletes qualifying for East Regionals include: ■ William Harrison- Fifth overall in both the midget boys 1,500-metre race (4:56.02) and 3,000-metre race (10:45.99). ■ Clarke- Fourth in the midget long jump (5.14 m) and fifth in the 200 m (25.42). ■ Mallory Lindsay- sixth in the midget girls 400-metre race (1:09.47). ■ Amber Miller- Sixth in the junior girls triple jump (9.12 m).

Public board recruits Toyota exec for finance job HPEDSB product Leslie Miller to replace retiring superintendent Dave Rutherford Jason Parks

Staff writer

The Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board (HPEDSB) has found a replacement for retiring superintendent Dave Rutherford. Rutherford, a Superintendent of Business Services, announced he would be leaving his post as head of the school board's finances at the end of the present school year. Rutherford has been HPEDSB's top bean counter for the past 17 years and has

been employed by the organization for the last three decades. The board announced Monday evening at its monthly session at the Education Centre that Leslie Miller will be the new superintendent of business services starting June 18, 2013. Miller is presently a director at Toyota Canada Inc. “It was a decision supported by all board members. Leslie brings experience in finance, human resources and administration. She has a personal style which we believe will be an excellent fit

as the business superintendent for this organization,” remarked Dwayne Inch, chairman of the board. Miller is a financial executive with over 20 years of progressive leadership experience. She obtained her bachelor of business administration degree with honours at Brock University and is a certified management accountant. During her career as director of finance and accounting, human resources, administration and legal services for Toyota Canada Inc., Miller has pro-

vided leadership and direction for financial services, strategic planning, service delivery, governance and leadership of four divisions according to a news release issued by the Board. She has been recognized for her ability to build positive relationships, team capabilities and financial problem solving in support of organizational goals. Miller is a proud graduate of Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board and is pleased to be returning to the area.

Elementary schools to benefit from front-door security $330,090 tender awarded Monday Jason Parks

Staff writer

The Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board (HPEDSB) voted in a favour of accepting a qualified tender from Stanley Canada Corporation worth $330,090 to outfit all remaining elementary schools that do not currently have front entry door building access systems and/or video surveillance systems in place. Secondary Schools in the

Kids of Steel triathlon Sunday seeks volunteers

HPEDSB have had video systems in place since 2010. The work is expected to be completed sometime this summer and will be in place when students resume their studies this fall. “As part of the Achievement in Motion System Plan, the Board is committed to promoting safe, healthy, respectful and inclusive school and work places,” board trustee Sam Clements said when speaking to the motion to accept the tender. The Stanley bid was one of two bids received for the project.

The TAS Communications bid came in at a cost of $554,500 and received a lower evaluation score (75 points) than that of the winning Stanley bid (90). According to the report detailing the tender process, facility enhancements for safe schools have been in the works for a number of years however the move to outfit the outstanding facilities was expedited. The tragic school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut this past fall was a sobering reminder of how quickly evil can invade a learning space

full of vulnerable children and how important safety measures are in this current environment. Board spokesperson Kerry Donnell wouldn't confirm that the expedition was a response to the Newtown tragedy, only that safety is paramount when it comes to the 16,000 students that attend HPEDSB schools daily. “Student safety is a top priority for us and any efforts we can make to enhance security at schools will be undertaken,” Donnell said.

The Kids of Steel of are coming to Prince Edward County... and they need your help! A call for volunteers is being put out by organizers of the seventh annual leg of the children's triathlon competition taking part at the Prince Edward Fitness and Aquatic Centre and the town of Picton this Sunday. Hundreds of children from all over Ontario aged 3-17 will be descending upon the town to take part in the only kids triathlon in this region of the province in 2013. Swim captain Aaron Miller said that thanks to the scrapping of the Kingston leg of the Kids of Steel series, there is exploding interest in the event in Picton. And while Sunday's race has lots of kids, it is seriously lacking in race volunteers. Swimming captain Aaron Miller said the event needs about 100 more volunteers to operate safely. Currently, we are about 100 volunteers short, Miller said. “We have tasks like registration, set up, swim lane counters at the pool and tear down volunteers.” The biggest need right now, however, is marshals on the bicycle course. “We try to get as many people on the bike course as we can because that's the greatest opportunity for the participants to get lost and get off the course,” Miller said. If you have an hour or two of time to donate this Sunday, you are asked to call PEFAC at 613-476-7776 or e-mail them at pefac@bellnet.ca. Alternatively, you can contact Miller at 613-9227458 or aaronmiller14@hotmail.com. “The kids in the sport of triathlon are really dedicated. Last year, there was a young guy who lost a shoe during his run and he was so focused, he just kept running and finished without it,” Miller said. “They are all out to have a good time and be active, so we want to do our part and make sure they stay safe and the event is run properly.” More information on the Kids of Steel event including times and course details can be found at the PEFAC web site at pefac.ca.

While most students her age will spend the summer toiling at menial jobs and wondering when and where the next social function is taking place, Kelli Miller will be worlds away. Miller, a Ameliasburgh resident studying in Centennial Secondary School's musical theatre program, is taking part in this year's Canada World Youth six month international education program and will travel to Mozambique and the Yukon. In July, Miller and nine other young Canadians will travel to Inhambane, Mozambique where Miller will live with a local family and be involved as a volunteer in a community-oriented work project for three months. Together with her fellow CWY members and Mozambique youth, Miller will then depart for Whitehorse, Yukon where they will also live with local families and work in community-based projects for a similar period of time.

and I would love to help people in that regard.â&#x20AC;? As for what she expects when she travels to the Dark Continent or Canada's northern frontier, Miller is unsure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Part of me wants to imagine this beautiful place but I know I'm going to see people that aren't' nearly as fortunate. I'm sure it will be heartbreaking and serve as an eye opener knowing that not everybody has it like we do here in the Quinte area,â&#x20AC;? she said. As part of her commitment to CWY and the continued sustainability of the program, Miller like all other CWY member must raise a minimum of $3,200 by June 23. Aside from contacting local service clubs and businesses, Miller and her family are hosting a two day yard sale at their home at 3303 County Rd. 2 this Saturday

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Don't make assumptions this week, Aries. You just can't trust your gut instincts too much right now. It's better to get all of the facts and act accordingly. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Playing matchmaker isn't so easy, Taurus. You have to understand when people are compatible and when there just isn't a spark. Let this one go.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, don't apologize if you feel like you have to go your own way this week. Even when everyone seems to be going in another direction, sometimes you just have to set your own course. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, while others may not be able to handle the confusion this week, you are fully capable of multi-tasking and making it through unscathed.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you may feel more emotionally charged this week but you still have to think with your head and not your heart. A financial decision may need to reassessed. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, look at a situation with a practical eye. Is this really the best answer for the time being? Although you may be leaning one way, you might want to reconsider. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you need to get work done this week and that can't happen when you are continually distracted. You might have to nip this one in the bud -- quickly.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 An email or other correspondence from a past friend could stir up feelings you weren't ready to deal with right now, Aquarius. Put this on the back burner until you are ready. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, you are more interested in independence this week than hanging out in large groups. This includes hanging out with your spouse or partner.

Fire halls project manager approved amid debate about wording in motion Quaiff reiterates concern about hall location Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

Council has officially approved the selection of a project manager for the municipality's new fire station project, but the decision was far from unanimous. While there was considerably less debate this time around, there were several

councillors who were leery of moving ahead with the selection of a project manager to oversee the design and construction of new fire halls while aspects of the project are still up for debate. The selection of MPHM Project Managers Inc. was approved at a cost of $120,277.20. The company will now advise the municipality on the costs and oversee the design, development, and construction of a new four-bay fire station to be located in Consecon. They will also assist

with the search for piece of land large enough to locate a 12-bay Picton station. MPHM's selection was approved in a recorded vote of 9â&#x20AC;&#x201C;6 with councillors Robert Quaiff, Jamie Forrester, Alec Lunn, Keith MacDonald, Brian Marisett, and Dianne O'Brien voting against. Much of the debate with the selection of a project manager centred around the inclusion of the phrase â&#x20AC;&#x153;in the vicinity of the traffic circle at the intersection of Loyalist Parkway and Cty. Rd. 1â&#x20AC;? as it related to the

location of the potential 12bay Picton station and whether the municipality would ultimately go with a nine-station or 10-station fire service plan. Councillor Robert Quaiff has been vocal in his opposition to locating a new fire station near the traffic circle under the nine-station plan as he said it would increase response times and put his North Marysburgh constituents in a vulnerable position. He reiterated his stance at Tuesday's council meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I'm not going to

belabour this as much as I did at committee of the whole,â&#x20AC;? Quaiff said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just want to reiterate that I really think we're putting the cart before the horse here.â&#x20AC;? Quaiff said the motion as worded says a new fire station will be constructed in the vicinity of the traffic circle, which will force council's hand later in the project. He said there are still upcoming decisions which should come before. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I won't be voting in favour of it,â&#x20AC;? he said. Mayor Peter Mertens has said since the outset

that council will make decisions along the way and said nothing is set in stone at this point. He said at the May 16 committee-of-thewhole meeting that the motion would not force council to locate a fire station in the vicinity of the traffic circle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the consultant brings the report forward â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and we're not locked into anything the consultant brings forward â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it comes back to this council for a yes or a no,â&#x20AC;? he said at the committee meeting.

TAMPER-RESISTANT RECEPTACLES 613-354-9547

Each year, the insertion of foreign objects into electric receptacles results in injuries to many children. Nearly 90% of these incidents involved children under 6, with 1st and 2nd degree burns accounting for the vast majority of these injuries. But now the technology is available to help reduce the chance of injury. In more than 50% of all incidents children between the ages of 2 and 3 were involved. Typical foreign-object insertion situation occurs at home with the insertion of a hairpin or key into the outlet resulting in 1st or 2nd degree burn to fingers. The emotional trauma to the child and parents plus the treatment required in an emergency room compounds the incident. Besides hairpins or keys, other common objects inserted by children include fingers, pins, wires, screws, nails, paper clips, plugs, tweezers, paper clips, utensils and jewelry. To help prevent these incidents and injuries, the most widely used electric codes call for a new electric safety feature in all new homes – ‘tamper-resistant receptacles’. This code change primarily

which can be removed, tamper-resistant receptacles provide permanent protection. In addition, some plug-in devices can easily be pulled out by children and have also proven to be a choking hazard due to their small size. Some other types of addon devices create a risk of arcing or overheating due to a partially exposed plug or reduced plug/receptacle contact surface. All tamper-resistant receptacles must have either the words "Tamper Resistant" or the letters "TR" on the device in a manner that allows the label to be reviewed with the wall plate removed. Additional information about tamperresistant receptacles can be found at the National Electric Manufacturer’s Association Safety website: www.childoutletsafety.org, the Electrical Safety Foundation International website: www.esfi.org, and the Safe Kids Canada website: www.safekidscanada.ca.

affects new construction; however, tamper-resistant receptacles can be added in existing homes as well. Tamper-resistant receptacle technology uses a built-in system to prevent a foreign object from touching electrically live components when the object is inserted into the receptacle slots. There are several methods to achieve tamper-resistance operation, the most common being the use of a spring-loaded shutter mechanism. When the receptacle is not in use, the shutters are closed, and all electric contacts are covered. Upon insertion of a plug, the blades of the plug simultaneously compress the shutters against the spring. This simultaneous force causes the shutters to slide aside to access to the receptacle contacts, allowing the plug to be fully inserted into the receptacle. When the plug is removed, the shutters instantly close, covering the contact openings. Standard plugs can be inserted in and removed from a tamperproof receptacle in the same manner as standard electrical outlets; however, insertion of an object into one slot, or uneven insertion is prevented. The tamper-resistant features, however, don’t provide protection against the simultaneous insertion of two singlepronged items. Determined adults and adolescents could also bypass the tamperproof mechanisms if significant force is applied. Unlike plastic outlet caps and other add-on childproofing devices,
