It's only a figurative term that home is where the heart is. Because if it were literal, the latest Habitat for Humanity Prince EdwardHastings project on Picton's York Street would need to be 10 times the size. Many of the hearts and hands that helped build Connie Matthew's new split-level house were in attendance Friday morning as the young mother of two accepted the keys to the family home from local Habitat committee chair Bob Clute in an emotional ceremony. Ground broke on the project in April and finally, after hundreds of hours of volunteer work, the widowed Matthews and her children Cole and Hannah were ready to move in, “This is one of the highlights of my life because for Connie, Cole and Hannah their life will be very different in a very positive way,” Clute said. In 2011, Connie lost her husband Corey, changing the course of the lives of the three forever. Naturally, when it came time for Clute to hand over the keys, it was an emotional moment with many of the Matthews friends, family members and supporters tearing up as Connie attempted to thank everyone that helped make her dream come true. “I really don't know what to say, I can't thank everyone enough,” Matthews said, fighting back tears. “It's impossible to thank everyone enough but you know who you are, you have no idea how much this means to me and my kids. I really don't know what to say or how to say it, all I can say is that I will make Habitat for Humanity proud and thank you for giving my children and I this home.” Like all Habitat for Humanity projects, the home owner pays for the domicile but under a different set of processes and obligations than a standard mortgage. Mark Rodgers, the chief operating officer of Habitat Humanity Canada was on

hand for the key ceremony. A county native, Rodgers has deep ties to the community and mentioned that Friday's event was special considering his father had been a home builder in the area for a number of years. Rodgers congratulated the local branch and staff on a very successful build and remarked it was “wonderful to see another family served in this manner and great to know their lives will be changed for the good.” Despite working out of Toronto at the Habitat Canada head office, Rodgers made a point of travelling to Prince Edward County earlier this summer to participate in the build and, despite having been part of the organization for nearly a decade, was still struck by the sense of community at the build site. “That's the kind of engagement that we have in Habitat,” Rodgers said. “Seeing people come together to help one another and knowing there is still good in the world is a great thing.” Besides providing shelter, the home also provides the Matthews family stability through the Habitat

know that you will because you have worked so hard.” As part of the celebration, Matthews was presented with a loaf of bread, symbolizing the fellowship in the community.

Flowers were offered as a symbol of beauty and renewal, while a presentation of a bottle of wine marked friends,family and sharing.

Planning partners hope to create strong new hospital to serve community needs Integration with community services, cross-sector education seen as enablers to building broader health-care model around proposed facility Jason Parks

Staff writer

The Quinte Healthcare Corporation (QHC) announced Wednesday another step has been taken concerning the redevelopment of Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital. On Aug. 27, project partners and other health care providers met in Prince

Edward County to discuss the next steps towards building a new hospital in the county. Attendees included representatives from the Prince Edward Family Health Team; QHC administration, physicians and nurses; the Local Health Integration Network (LHIN); PECMH Foundation and Auxiliary;

and community health care partners, such as Hospice Prince Edward and the Alzheimer's Society. A key milestone in the planning process, the aim of the day was to update the work that was completed in 2010 and to build common understanding of the: Current and future health care needs and services of Prince Edward County, the surrounding communities and the region; changes currently underway in health care and how to channel those into opportunities for PECMH; and vision for the new PECMH that will be a model for rural health care into the future, including our community partners and surrounding hospitals. Throughout the session, common themes emerged around the changing demographic of the region and

what key components are needed to build not only a stronger hospital to serve the community but also a stronger system of care. In particular, transitions between providers, and local access to services and transportation were noted as being key drivers to ensuring our patient population is well cared for. According to statistics released by QHC, residents of Prince Edward County use PECMH for 32 per cent of their inpatient care, but rely on PECMH for almost 75 per cent of their emergency room care. Prince Edward County residents were admitted to hospitals 2,521 times between April 2013 and March 2014, with 806 of those admissions at PECMH. Residents also had over 17,500 emergency room vis-

its in 2013-2014 and 4,000 day surgeries. The population of Prince Edward County decreased slightly between the 2006 and 2011 censuses. The population growth for the county is expected to total 3.4 per cent over the next 10 years, compared to 15 per cent or more in higher growth areas in Ontario. However, the population of residents aged 65 years or older continues to be higher than the provincial average. A total of 25.2 per cent of county residents are 65 years or older, compared to the Ontario average of 14.6 per cent. Integration with other community services and cross-sector education were also brought forward as key enablers to building a strong system of care for Prince Edward County. ‘The future of health

care in Prince Edward County should be like this room,” noted one participant. “no borders and no silos.” The information collected from the session will be compiled and presented back to the PECMH redevelopment project working group. This information will assist the group in developing a strong business plan that will be presented to the LHIN and the Ministry of Health and Long-term Care for approval. Broader public engagement sessions will be held further into the planning process to gather input on the vision for the new PECMH. The next milestone in the process is to finalize an updated precapital submission document for LHIN board approval this year.

Black River farm keeps several rare varieties of tomatoes alive to be enjoyed

Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

For Vicki Emlaw, her annual tasting of heirloom tomatoes is more than just a chance to reach consumers — it's about preserving tomato varieties that may not exist otherwise. For the last 12 years Emlaw, of Vicki's Veggies, has held her Heirloom Hurrah Tomato Tasting. This year's event, which took place Saturday and Sunday, featured 110 tomato varieties and was a busy spot. Emlaw said she started the tasting as a way to familiarize customers with the heirloom varieties, which often come in different shapes and colours than the standard tomato. “Nobody knew what they were, they didn't think they were tomatoes because they look strange,” she laughed. “Everybody is used to red round tomatoes.” As the event evolved over those 12 years, Emlaw said she came to realize she could play an important role in keeping certain varieties going. “These heirloom varieties, people don't know what they are or why they exist,” said Emlaw. “The only reason they exist is because home gardeners look after them and they

feel special because they're a tomato that has come from your ancestors.” She said sometimes it's easy to forget how special the tomatoes are, and said that point was illustrated to her recently. Emlaw said she usually orders the seeds from a catalogue, but when looking for a variety she'd purchased before, she found it was no longer available. “They're not in the new catalogue, so if I don't save those seeds from those varieties, I may never find them again,” she said. “… Basically I am semi-responsible for keeping them alive in the world. If I don't save them this year, they may not exist anymore.” She said one of the rea-

sons she keeps the tasting going is “to let people know that there are different varieties of tomatoes.” “People come and they say I thought there were only four different varieties of tomatoes when really this is just the tip of the iceberg,” she said. “There are thousands of different varieties of tomatoes. For people to actually see that and be able to taste them and know there is a difference.” She said the event has really picked up steam since it's beginning. “It's gone gangbusters,” she said. A new aspect of this year's event was the inclusion of several food trucks. “We've always done food, but we've always

tried to do it ourselves with everything we had from the garden,” she said. “It's just so busy that we're incapable of actually doing it all.” Picnic PEC and Slow Taco were among those invited to share their creations at the event. “That's new for us,” she said. Early Saturday morning crowds had already formed at the tasting table. Emlaw said she it was great to see so many people out so early. “I'm really happy about that,” she said. Also for the first time, Emlaw said she will be attempting to track how many visitors come through the farm over the

“More than half of the tomatoes there, I didn't know existed.” She said she bought some seeds and will try to grow her own at home. St-Denis said not only were there a surprising number of tomato varieties, those working at the tasting were also very knowledgeable about them. “The people who were cutting up the tomatoes were remarkable with how much they knew which ones had more flavours, which ones are sort of a nice filling,” she said. Overall, the pair said it was a great event.

weekend. She said stickers were handed out to each visitor to get an accurate count. “Everybody is asking how many people should we expect?” said Emlaw. “… I have no idea because it's such a blur.” Among those who attended Vicki's Veggies over the weekend were Christine St-Denis and Emily Sarafyn who were visiting Prince Edward County from Toronto. A pair of self-professed foodies, they both spoke to their enjoyment of the tasting. “I definitely haven't been to anything like this before,” said Sarafyn.

Documentary features world’s tallest vertical cemetery in Brazil AdAm BrAmBurger

Staff writer

A short film shot, directed, and edited by a Cherry Valley film company is about to hit the big screen at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) next week. In the winter of 2012, Ryan J. Noth and Tess Girard of Fifth Town Films headed to Santos and San Paulo, Brazil, where they captured a growing trend in heavily populated areas of South America and Asia. In Santos, a building named Memorial Necropole Ecumenica stands 14 storeys tall and it is now the world’s tallest graveyard. Memorial looks more like a urban high rise than a cemetery and Noth says the courtyard parks around it could sub in for a nature reserve. It was like nothing he’d seen elsewhere. “People are buried as it rises. It's like a condo, it is more expensive as you go up. If you’re buried by a soccer field or viewing the water, you pay more,” he said. Nonetheless, Noth indicated the place was more peaceful than he imagined, leaving him both calmed and a bit haunted. He said he read about the

complex five years ago and would think about it from time-to-time. Noth figured there was an interesting tale to be told and believed cinematographer Girard could find some stunning visuals that would play well on the big screen. They shot for about a week, making good use of HD equipment sponsored by the Prince Edward/ Lennox and Addington Community Futures Development Corporation, then Noth returned home for months of crafting his story, titled using a play on words: A Tomb With A View The architect responsible for building Memorial, Pepe Altustut, is the central character in the story and Noth uses him to explain his vision

for the site he started in 1983 that has continued to grow. “I realized it had to be his voice speaking,” Noth said. “Pepe’s impact on Memorial can be felt everywhere.” He added he doesn’t like using a narrator to tell the story, instead drawing people in with powerful visuals — Girard has a great eye, he notes — and direct interviews with his subjects. He also included an interview with a woman who wishes to be buried at Memorial and an architecture professor, who explained the concept. Altustut, a trained achitect, was described by Noth as being like the Donald Trump of his area. He knows many people and is friends with soccer star Pele, who will be buried at Memorial when he dies. He doesn’t believe that death should be

a sad, culminating moment, but rather a transition to another life beyond the earth. It was in that concept that Noth happened on a broader topic. He said he’s hopeful A Tomb With A View will become one chapter in a larger feature-length documentary about the idea of leaving behind a legacy. Future chapters may lead him to places like Peru and Norway to explore local customs and those behind them. Asked about selling the seven-minute film itself — a project that was more a labour of love than of financial gain — Noth said he’s had some interest, but that wouldn’t be his preference. “Short films can sell, but with YouTube, it is a very difficult market. We’ve had some interest online and in Europe, but my preference is develop a feature. This hopefully will be a stepping stone to that.” The TIFF experience will help that in two ways. First, there will be a pitch competition that Fifth Town can enter. Second, it offers encouragement.” “The call from TIFF was like vindication. It shows we were on the right track,” Noth said. The film will premiere Sept. 8 and also show Sept. 9. Following Toronto, it has also been picked up by the Vancouver International Film Festival later this month. Noth hopes to bring it to the Regent’s Cinefest one day.

While the big locomotives don't rumble past Wellington, Bloomfield and Picton anymore it doesn't mean you can't still see a train and a set of tracks in Prince Edward County. They are just on a different scale these days. For nearly three decades, the Picton Model Railroad Club has been hosting an annual train show and vendor sale at the Curling Club and they will again later this month. Club president Jerry Kennedy said this year's edition scheduled for Sept. 13 and 14 will be a full show with 17 vendors and almost 20 layouts with clubs from as far away as Pickering and Oshawa bring their best. “We have a lot of people make it a routine to come and visit our show because we have the best show in eastern Ontario,” Kennedy said. “We have the boats, model airplanes, slot cars and this year we should have three different sizes of trains.” In addition to a wide variety of models, the show will offer hands-on opportunities for all the above items for young and old.

Jenkins Seeks Federal Nomination It’s His Time. At 38 years old, he says he’s ready. Q. You ran for the NDP provincially before, why the change now for the Conservatives, federally? A. My decision to run for the Conservatives didn't happen overnight. I was 26 yrs old when I first ran for the NDP. Humanitarian issues, the poor and the homeless were important to me and still are today. It was in 2007 when I began questioning my political affiliation and found that I was answering questions in debates the same way as my Conservative counterpart. We all change and grow; now at 38 years old, married, with a new baby girl and owning a home have all been contributing factors. I believe that in order to help people in need, we need a strong and healthy economy with sustained growth, views that are more in line with Conservative values. Since 2008, I have been involved with the local Conservatives, as a board member on the local Progressive Conservative Provincial Board, a member of an Ontario-wide Conservative Social Policy Roundtable and now, the Vice President of the Federal Bay of Quinte Conservative Riding Association. Q. Are you running against Daryl Kramp? A. No. Because of Federal redistribution, a new federal riding has been created which includes: Prince Edward County, Quinte West and Belleville (South of the 401). Daryl's riding has been changed to encompass Bancroft south to Napanee and this leaves an open spot for a new Conservative candidate to be chosen for the new riding.

Kramp and MP Rick Norlock – each of their ridings have received a substantial share of support from the Federal Conservative Government and I want to ensure that support continues for the new Bay of Quinte Riding. Virtually every public project of note that has contributed to the Quinte Region's economic stability in the last 8 years has had either full or partial funding from the Federal Government.

She is my biggest supporter. We have been married for three and a half years and have a nine-month-old baby girl, named, Jacobie. We have a lot of supporters in every area of the new riding. From growing up in Prince Edward County, living in Belleville and working in Quinte West, I have an appreciation for each area that makes up the Bay of Quinte riding. Both of my grandparents were involved in Canada's Armed Forces, and for that reason, we have a unique appreciation for our military heroes at CFB Trenton.

It is clear to me that at the federal level there is a real difference that Q. What background do you have that can be made for our communities – will help you represent Bay of Quinte? I want to help make that difference. A. I have been a member of Belleville City Federal funding is responsible for many projects in the two existing ridings including but not limited to the Veterans Bridge and Quinte Sports & Wellness Centre in Belleville, the Essroc Arena in Wellington, the Picton Waste Water Treatment Plant and the millions of dollars invested into CFB Trenton.

Council for the last 4 years, which has provided me with an understanding of the unique issues facing cities and our region. I have served on a number of boards and committees throughout this term, such as the Financial Audit Committee, which has exposed me to first-hand experience of handling the financial details and issues of a multimillion-dollar corporation. My background and job history has been in broadcasting and media for the past 14 years and more recently as a Senior Account Executive for two of our stations across the province. Each day I am out visiting with many different businesses and people throughout the Quinte region, listening to their successes and their challenges and you soon understand the issues that are important to people. Finally, my association with the sitting member of Parliament, Daryl Kramp, has provided valuable insight into the job of representing Bay of Quinte.

Q. What type of legacy do you want to leave? A. Of all the reasons I want to represent our riding, the strongest is for my daughter Jacobie and her generation. I want your children, your grandchildren, your nieces and nephews to have every opportunity to raise their families in this beautiful area that we call home. I don't want them to have to seek opportunities out West, although it will be their choice to leave, but they should have every opportunity right here within Bay of Quinte to find a job and raise their family with the best opportunities for them without having to move away. For more information on how to buy a

Q. Why do you want to be the Conservative candidate to represent Bay of Quinte? A. I will be a strong voice to represent Bay of Quinte in Ottawa. We’ve had Q. Who is behind you in this? strong representation from both MP Daryl A. First and foremost, my wife Shauna.

Looking back in the

Picton Gazette 90 years ago — 1924

n The temperance women of Picton met at the Baptist church to prepare for the Ontario Temperance Association’s upcoming plebiscite and formed a committee to work alongside the men’s committee. Members were selected from all the churches. The group also voted to have a Torontoarea temperance advocate visit to speak to a mass meeting in October. n A dangerous blaze breaking out at 5:30 p.m. caused considerable damage to the Weldon and Dempsey homes on bridge street, but it was quick snuffed out before causing further damage. The fire also caused damage to the water supply on their block and to an adjoining house. n Frank Claven’s play The First Year was drawing rave reviews for its ability to portray human nature on stage and the Regent Theatre was hoping to take advantage of the hype as it secured the Canadian production for its stage.

70 years ago — 1944

n Thomas Alexander’s Yerexville farm was struck by lightning and three buildings were burned to the ground. One of the destroyed barns was filled with the year’s harvest of 1,600 bushels of grain and 60 bales of hay, as well as some livestock and hens.

The adventures of Alec in Wilderland

The excellent book Last Child in the Woods takes a good look at how we can save children from nature deficit disorder. The disorder refers to the hypothesis that paranoid parents have literally "scared children straight out of the woods and fields", while promoting a litigious culture of fear that favours "safe" regimented sports over imaginative outdoor play. Today’s electronic world is keeping many children indoors glued to computer screens and discouraging them from connecting with nature. It is sad and it is epidemic. Just when I wondered who, then, will be around to teach us about nature after we are gone, along comes Alec J. Fischer of Texas. I found him on YouTube one night when I was surfing through the YouTube subjects that pop up randomly in the side bar. He has been the star of his own Alec in Wilderland series since the age of 11. In one promotional video, he sadly laments how his friends talk about their high score on Call of Duty, but emphasizes that he has never been that way. He finishes this video with, “My name is Alec and I don’t play video games. I play outside.” His Internet videos are fast paced and focus on survival, adventure and just simply being outside and exploring. I have seen him eat insects, start fires from scratch and demonstrate survival techniques from what’s close at hand. With his knife and

OUTDOOR RAMBLES TERRY SPRAGUE

scabbard always hanging from his belt and his infectious energy, he reminds me somewhat of a curious blend of an animated Crocodile Hunter (Steve Irwin) and a Crocodile Dundee on steroids! He knows his stuff. There’s no doubt about that, and he has spent at least the past four or five years rigorously training for the YouTube episodes which are financed through private donations. He has visited several different countries filming these episodes where he continues to add to his bank of knowledge. Fischer is quite at home in the water and many of the episodes I came across seemed to focus on that theme as he demonstrates how to catch and prepare fish, and responsible fishing (leaving no litter and discarded fishing line dangerous to wildlife). In fact, one viewer

commented, “You always seem to be washing up on shore in many of your episodes!” In one episode, Alec travels from Texas to South Africa to raise awareness about rhino poaching and to deliver a donation on behalf of his show. His passion and concern for the subject is clearly evident as he hugs one of the rhinos that has been saved and offers some poignant thoughts about the species’ future. Clearly, this was not acting, but rather, an expression of genuine love for this animal which also comes across in all of his other videos. In a truly emotional moment, he promises the rhino that one day he would be wild and free from poaching, and one day “I will see you again, and that is my promise”. If poaching rhinos for just their horns continues, Alec may lose that chance of ever seeing a rhino alive, much less in the wild with its horn still attached. In one hilarious episode which had me laughing hysterically, he demonstrates how to use a condom to scoop up water from a stream. What is baffling is why any kid of 11 or 12, camping alone in the wilderness, would choose to pack such an item in his survival kit. His efforts to be professional are thwarted as he attempts to gain control of the unwieldy object, now full of water, and make his way doubled over, back to his campsite. In another, he demonstrates how it is possible to purify urine so it is drinkable.

That one was a bit hard to take. Thanks, but in an emergency I will take my chances, and procure my water from a stream - a natural stream, that is, flowing over rocks. Mostly though, his episodes focus on grass roots survival techniques, something that most kids iPod thumbing their days away, have absolutely no knowledge of in today’s electronic world. Kids today can learn a lot from this young man’s drive and energy. It is so encouraging to see someone of that young age so fascinated and in love with the outdoors and know it is not just an act. There is no nature deficit disorder with this young man. As Fischer enters his teens, we hope that he will maintain this level of energy and compassion for the outdoors, and continue recording his adventures on YouTube to inspire us all. “When you trust your wild side, anything is possible. And if you ever decide to trust your wild side, just make sure you’re ready, because it just might lead you around the world on the greatest adventure of your life.” And, that it has, for Alec J. Fischer of Texas. For more information on today’s topic, please e-mail tsprague@kos.net or phone 613 848-4549.

Sandbanks New Waves offers mix of Indie music, arts, local cuisine The organizers of the Sandbanks New Waves music festival are encouraged by ticket sales leading up to the September event. According to co-organizer Ryan J. Noth, the partnership between Zunior.com,his company Fifth Town Films and a host of sponsors was intended to bring out-of-season traffic to Sandbanks Provincial Park and to bring life to the amphitheatre which sits within the park boundaries.

Primarily, the festival will feature a number of Indie music acts including Cuff The Duke, Bry Webb and the Providers, Diana, The Hylozoists, and the Evening Hymns. A second component of the festival will be its spotlight on local cuisine as many providers have come forward to serve their offerings. Norman Hardie, Currah’s, the Picnic Food Truck, Slow Taco Cart, the Barley Days Brewery, Pink Lunchpail, County Cupboard

Lemonade, and the Vankleek Hill-based Beau’s Beer will be featured. Local producers like Vicki’s Veggies, Honey Pie Hives, Humble Bread, and the Portland Bridge Pickling Society will also be present in a marketplace setting. Noth indicated there will be some artistic opportunities for children who are in attendance. The plan is to include puppet making, mural painting, face painting.

He is hopeful this year’s festival will grow into an annual event and eventually, it will encompass other art forms, potentially including a film festival. Tickets are $40 in advance or $45 at the gate and do not include Sandbanks parking or camping fees. For more information and to book tickets in advance visit www.sandbanksnewwaves.com -Staff

back in his classroom, an Edmonton teacher is feeling vindicated this week for actually teaching students a valuable lesson they’ll learn their entire lives. According to reports in various national newspapers, Lynden Dorval was suspended in May and later terminated from his job teaching high school students for handing out zeroes for incomplete homework and test assignments. Recently, an Alberta appeal board ruled in his favour and noted he was treated unfairly. There is no question that all students learn at different rates of speed than others and we wouldn’t imagine a pupil who has gone through an entire school career without outside life putting a strain on his or her ability at least once. One would be foolish, then, to not suggest that some kind of accommodation be made for those who cannot complete assignments by the required deadline to ensure the work is done. That said, the keys are communication and trust. Students should learn from a very early age that this world is a demanding one and that once they get out into the world of work, they will have similar deadlines and requirements that no boss will wait for regardless of what situation might be taking place. If they can’t make acceptable arrangements with their teachers to hand in the work at an alternate time or take a make-up test, then it would appear the zero grades that Dorval and other teachers would assign are legitimate. There should be no reward for those who cannot offer that courtesy and there should be no sense of entitlement that students have to pass. Policies like the Edmonton Public School Board’s former no-zero policy (which was rescinded after Dorval’s firing) and those which advocate for social advancement of students who don’t meet standards for promotion are actually doing more harm to the students they were intended to help. While it may seem like a benevolent gesture to offer a child an easier path through and it may appear to help self esteem, there is going to be a time when those children struggle in the future and there is going to be an occasion when someone demands more than they’re either willing or able to offer. In that instance, the damage done is far greater, particularly when one considers past judgments and discovers he or she hasn’t achieved as one would lead him or her to believe. Society has gone down a road where people — and youth, in particular — have come to expect entitlements and to expect that everything is going to be rosy. Sporting events now take place where none of the organizers take score. In many competitions, each participant is invited to take a trophy or medal, even those who don’t legitimately try to improve themselves. Literature is being changed to eliminate superlatives for those who succeed — and success doesn’t always have to be measured against everyone else, but possibly against self as well — and denunciation for those who didn’t for various reasons. That trend has to stop before our youth get to a point where they are not able to appreciate the value of rewards for hard work and precision. Dorval is a hero today for ensuring people learn about value the old fashioned way and it’s a good thing a public institution reinforced that message.

The Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation board of directors recently presented Larry Matheson, left, and Don Stanton Sr. with recognition plaques for their outstanding service and leadership as directors of the board. Stanton was a founding director in 1985 and has overseen the acquisition of over $6 million in new equipment. He was also a director during the dialysis clinic opening and vice-president during the emergency and diagnostic imaging renovation in 2010. After 28 years, he retired as past-president.

Matheson joined the board in 2008, quickly becoming a vice-president and president. He oversaw the installation of t he new donor wall and was president during a $750,000 campaign to bring in ultrasound and digital mammography equipment. He will be remembered for challenging Quinte Healthcare Corporation at its 2013 annual meeting regarding proposed cutbacks. He resigned his seat earlier this year. The plaques were presented at a special presentation at Devil’s Wishbone Winery Aug. 28. (Submitted photo)

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Reader finds advertisement linking fair, guns offensive

Page 18 of the Aug. 28 Gazette has an advertisement for Canadian Tire that shows a young man holding a rifle in a manor somewhat like an armed guard or a militant would . The young man has a bit of a smirk on his face and is wearing a t-shirt with the word "Christmas" clearly across the front. At the bottom of the advertisement

are the words "Have Fun At The Fair" followed by "Great Selection of Firearms & Ammunition". Is it just me or is this advertisement extremely offensive? Do we really want to associate guns and Christmas or guns with fun at the fair? Are we so close to the American border that the wind is blowing the American gun culture

north of the border? I know that guns and particularly rifles are a part of the rural community. I'm not a tree hugging, anti gun advocate but the associations contained in this advertisement I find very offensive. Surely the people that feel the need to own a gun are quite aware that Canadian Tire has a large selection of guns and

ammunition without the need for this sort of message. I hope that others viewing this message and advertisement will voice their opinions to Canadian Tire and that Canadian Tire will have a little more sensitivity in future advertisements. Don Norrington

Sandbanks Fun Run to be staged for 20th year Sept. 14

The Friends of Sandbanks and Sandbanks Provincial Park will celebrate two decades of hosting the Fall Getaway and Fun Run.

In total, the run has brought in $15,000 for the Friends of Sandbanks and about $130,000 for the Terry Fox Run through donations and pledges. This year’s run will take place on Sept. 14 at 10 a.m. and race director Agnese

Bortolussi encourages participants to register early. “Don’t wait until the last minute to sign up if you hope to get a t-shirt,” she said. Runners can register in advance for the run at www.runningroom.com or pick up their entry forms at the park that morning. Bortolussi expressed gratitude for the race’s sponsors and dedicated volunteers who make it possible year after year. Participants can look forward to draw prizes, medals, and refreshments and their families are welcome to come and check out the beach after the run. -Staff

Ameliasburgh celebrates Heritage Day Pioneer museum offers hands-on activities to share community’s past

Family fun was on the docket as Ameliasburgh Historical Museum celebrated their annual Heritage Activity Day on Sunday. Visitors could get a demonstration on blacksmithing, examine a authentic pioneer log cain, visit the sap shanty, and dairy and bee-keeping buildings. There was also a hands-on butter churning demonstration, and corn on the cob to with it. While rain threatened early, it held off long enough for a large group to take advantage of the event. Museum curator Janice Hubbs said she was happy with the turnout on Sunday. For Hubbs and volunteers, the event is all about slowing down and having a relaxing and fun family day before another school year gets underway. “The kids don't go very far this weekend because they're getting in the routine of going back to school so a lot of families in the area come here,” she said. “(Monday) is the last day off before they have to get into the routine, so this is really relaxed, it's really welcoming. We just like to share the old-fashioned hospitality.” Hubbs said organizers want to make sure everyone has a good time while they're at the museum and a lot of people learn something during their time at the village. “They learn something when they're here about where their family came from if they're in area,” said Hubbs. “Some of these people are generational and have been coming since 1968 when the museum started the first heritage day — a lot of people are bringing their grandchildren.”

She mentioned that one family had already been there three hours by the early afternoon and have been taking their time walking through each of the museums buildings. She said families enjoy that aspect. “They're not all congealed into one area. If the kids get bored they'll get sidetracked by something and they'll go, 'oh bobbing for apples is over there,'” said Hubbs. “Everything's spread out, they can meander through and see something different in every building.” As always visitors could make their own butter and Hubbs said the museum introduced some old-fashioned popcorn this year to put it on. Hubbs said the event couldn't happen without the help of volunteers and thanked those involved. Visitor Patti Stacey said she and cousin MacKenna Wood said they wanted to spend the day together and Heritage Activity Day was something Stacey had never experienced before.

“I wanted to take MacKenna somewhere where we could both have fun and learn about agriculture in the county and what people went through back then,” Stacey said. “I've decided that they must have been very skinny people.” Stacey said the pair's favourite part of the day was the blacksmith shop. “It's one of the most fascinating things, we keep going back to that one to watch him create a simple dinner bell and realizing it must have taken the better part of the day for anything little thing to be accomplished,” she said. “When you look at the bigger farm equipment that they created back then it just makes you really appreciate what we have today.” Overall, Hubbs said it's great to be able to bring the event to the county each year. “We're just really proud to be here after 45 years, we still have our stories to tell,” said Hubbs. “There's still so much left to tell and I learn something new every day.”

A Picton man is expected to be in Belleville provincial court today in relation to a sexual assault that took place at a park this weekend. In the early morning hours of Sunday, August 31, Prince Edward OPP received a report of a sexual assault that had occurred earlier that evening in Picton. The investigation indicates that two girls in their early teens met with a man in a park where he sexually assaulted both girls. Police searched the area, locating the suspect. Both victims were treat-

ed at hospital. The OPP charged Alexandre Leduc, 29, of Picton, with aggravated sexual assault, sexual interference and luring a child. The accused was denied bail on Tuesday in Belleville Court and will appear today. Police are asking anyone having contact with the accused or that has information regarding this or other incidents to contact Prince Edward OPP at 1888-310-1122. -Jason Parks, Staff

Kidney walk Sunday at Zwick’s

This Saturday, the Kidney Foundation of Canada will celebrate its 50th anniversary as it stages its annual Kidney Walk in many communities across the country.

Protect against the spread of influenza by getting a flu shot, reducing exposure to germs

The best protection from the flu is the annual flu shot. Influenza is a respiratory illness caused by a virus. It typically starts with a headache, chills and cough; followed by a fever, loss of appetite, muscle aches, fatigue, runny nose and throat irritation. Most people get better within a week to 10 days. The virus spreads easily. You can get influenza by breathing the virus in from people who cough or sneeze into the air. That’s why it’s recommended to sneeze or cough into the crook of your elbow or into a tissue. Very often, people pick up the virus when they touch things such as light switches, doorknobs and remotes and then put their hands to their eyes, nose or mouth before washing their hands. Other important things you can do to remain healthy are: wash your hands often; stay home when you aren’t feeling well; don’t cough or sneeze into your hand, use a tissue or your arm. There are some who are at risk for serious complications from the influenza virus: very young children; those over the age of 65; people with conditions such as asthma, heart or kidney disease, or diabetes. Learn more about influenza or find out when flu clinics

Hillier’s Hinterland Wine Company a sparking gem with products that must be tried tried the new local dry varieties!) but these wines are not the kind we remember from our youth. And the county is producing some amazing sparkling wines. A couple years ago I took Huff Estates Cuveé and popped the cork on a cruise down south and a few weeks ago brought some Grange and Casa Dea sparkling wine to my son's wedding in Ottawa. But did you know there is a winery in the county that does just sparkling wines? This is just what the Hinterland Wine Company in Hillier does. And I

believe that they are the only winery in Canada that produces just sparkling wine. First, a quick fact. Champagne is a sparkling wine produced from grapes grown in the Champagne

region of France. Some people use the term Champagne as a generic term for sparkling wine but there are "rules" in the wine industry. Some regions outside of France call their wine Champagne but this is frowned on and France has been working hard to make sure only their sparkling wine is called Champagne Vicky Samaras and Jonas Newman are married and consider themselves partners in life as well as business. Jonas has experience in both the food and wine industry as he was the maitre d' at Scaramouche in Toronto and worked at 13th Street Winery in the Niagara region for four years to learn the wine business.

Toronto and has worked in sales for nine years so they bring the talents necessary to build a solid business. And from the crowds there this weekend when I stopped by they are certainly building a solid business! They took over the “Benway” barn on Closson Road where 48 cows once made their home to create Hinterland Wine Company in 2006. When they planted their vines their objective was to make wine that was consistent in quality year to year and to also offer value to the consumer. What they quickly learned about Ontario summers is that the summers are inconsistent! They see themselves as terroir enthusiasts and what they found was that the soil and climate in Prince Edward County produces grapes with the kind of ripeness suited to making balanced and elegant sparkling wines. So they decided to focus on sparkling wine from the start and today make an excellent range of traditional (Les Etoiles; Rosé), char-

mat (Whitecap; Riesling) and ancestral (Gamay Ancestral) method bubbly. When I stopped in this weekend I saw that they had a Rosé bubbly and my mouth started watering. I learned it was made from 85 per cent Pinot noir (which is quickly turning into my favourite grape) and 15-per-cent Chardonnay from their own farm. It was explained that the fruit was hand picked with the perfect acidity and sugar levels for sparkling. Their grapes take longer to reach the sugar and acidity levels needed for sparkling in the county (when compared to other sparkling wine regions) and as a result their grapes display very complex ripe flavours at time of harvest. And flavourful it was! It seemed there were thousands of tiny bubbles in my glass and a definite strawberry aroma. I found the acidity to be cleansing and it finished dry - it definitely made me want to take

Create hummingbird-friendly habitats to welcome colourful guests

On many published lists, hummingbirds rank among the top-five favourite birds. These tiny creatures fascinate with their many amazing qualities. They migrate from Mexico and South America. The only hummingbird that breeds in Ontario is the rubythroated. Rufous hummingbirds which breed further north and west are occasionally seen during migration periods, at least in the more westerly parts of the province. David Okines, station manager and bander in chief at Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory (PEPtBO), is one of the few who have qualified as a bander for these miniscule birds. These birds generally begin to migrate here in early May, both the summer residents and the travel through migrants. The males who take no role in parenting begin their return migration during July, the females leave in August and the current years nestlings leave in September. Few Hummers remain after the beginning of Octo-

ber. According to Terry Sprague in a 2007 column, hummingbirds have the amazing ability in early spring and late fall to actually spend the cooler nights in a state of torpor. Their metabolism slows down and these birds go into in an almost death-like trance or hibernation until the morning sun wakes them up again so they can proceed on their way. When you see hummingbirds here in unseasonably cool weather they may be sustaining themselves using these abilities. These small birds entrance people but the environment also benefits from their presence. They eat insects such as spiders and aphids and feed them to their young for proteins, fats and minerals. They transfer

pollen on their bills, heads or feathers from flower to flower. Some plants depend on them as pollinators. Thus they are one of the many contributing parts that make up a healthy and diverse environment. So gardeners can increase their contributions to the environment by creating a hummingbird friendly habitat in their gardens. Given that these birds will ingest pesticides in the insect and nectar diet that sustains them an organic garden is the best choice for them. While larger birds may tolerate poisons somewhat better a pesticide free garden is recommended for them as well. This habitat will provide a healthy diet and a safe sanctuary for these special birds. Natural sources of nectar, in flowers, can be safer and healthier than sweetened water in feeders, useful as these may be in early and late season. As well, their habitat is being reduced and destroyed here and all the way along their migratory path; lost to housing developments and single crop agriculture. Habitat requirements

include nectar-rich tubular flowers, especially bright red, orange and yellow ones, although hummers will drink from any colour flower. They can actually see red blossoms from almost a kilometer away. These may be annuals, perennials, vines, shrubs or trees. Planters and hanging baskets can be especially helpful in early spring and late fall when other sources of food are scarce. These container plants can also be brought inside on cold nights. Trees and shrubs are useful in creating an inviting nature-like setting, and also provide shelter and nesting sites. Hummingbird nests are built in shrubs and branching trees, 10 to 20 feet, or higher, above ground. They require shelter from predators, mainly other birds, squirrels and cats. Their nests are the smallest of all birds, only one to two inches across and the female lays two eggs the size of peas. Nests are made from spider webs, fern scales, and other soft and flexible materials. The outside of the nest is

often protected with lichens. Water should be provided in tiny receptacles for drinking and bathing. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care for regular sized birdbaths. These, like the feeders, should be cleaned and refilled often, daily in hot weather. Hummingbirds are attracted to mists and sprays of water as well as dripping water. Hummingbird feeders provide supplementary food and endless entertainment for bird watchers. They are especially useful in early spring (April) for the early arrivals and in the late fall (October) when natural sources are scarce and migrating hummingbirds need nourishment. Feeders must be kept scrupulously clean to prevent disease. White sugar (sucrose) is dissolved in a 1:4 ratio in boiling water is the rule.Â Never use honey or other sugars! No need to add colour, as feeders are usually red. Native plants are recommended but hummers will certainly take nectar from non-native plants. Attention should be paid to pro-

viding a continuous season of flowers attractive to hummers. The following lists contain some of the hummersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; favourite plants: n Flowering perennials: bee balm, butterfly weed, cardinal flower, columbine, coral bells, delphinium, four oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clocks, foxglove, geraniums, phlox, salvia, turtlehead n Flowering annuals cleomes, impatiens, morning glory, nasturtium, nicotiana, petunia, trumpet vine n Shrubs: azalea, flowering quince, honeysuckle, lilacs, rhododendrons, weigela. n Trees: chinaberry, crabapple, hawthorn, locust, mimosa, tulip tree.

Visiting exchange student eager to take in Canadian culture firsthand Netherlands resident joins Rotary program to see how life works in North America AdAm BrAmBurger Staff writer

Growing up in the Netherlands, Floortje van Oosterhout has had no shortage of exposure to Canadian imagery. In Doetinchem, the city of 56,000 she lives in in the eastern province of Gelderland, a Canadian tank remains as a monument to when the Calgary Highlanders freed the city from Nazi control in 1945. Many of the streets in the area are named after Canadian cities and her father happened to have a business on Ontario Street. Throughout her life, the 17-year-old van Oosterhout has also felt the influence of North American media in the television shows she’s watched and the news she has read in print and online. With all that in mind, when it was suggested she become involved in the Rotary Youth Exchange Program, there was little doubt where she wanted to go. “I could choose countries like India, Brazil, or South America and I want to visit those places for vacation,” she said. “I’ve seen many things from North America on television and I wanted to see how it works and how life goes here. I want to experience life in Canada.” Last week, van Oosterhout arrived by plane and she worked quickly with Picton Rotary exchange co-ordinator Bill Edwards to get acclimat-

ed to the county and to be enrolled at PECI. Though she had been off the plane less than 48 hours when she talked to the Gazette, van Oosterhout said her initial impressions were that people here have been friendly and willing to help her out. Looking at PECI, she said she found the school building was bigger than those in

her home country and she felt when she started classes this week, she’d find she would have more room inside as she came from a school of over 3,000 people, in comparison to the 700plus at PECI. English doesn’t seem to be a problem for van Oosterhout. She said that all children in the Netherlands learn

it starting at age 10 and with so many visitors from the United Kingdom and from Canada moving through her home province, she has had plenty of opportunity to speak it already. “We want to speak to visitors in their own language,” she explained, adding that she knows a bit of German, which is easy because it is very similar to Dutch. Post-secondary schools in the Netherlands also provide students the opportunity for study in English as well as their native language. van Oosterhout has already graduated from high school in the Netherlands and she plans to pursue postsecondary education in art and graphic design. She said she’ll try to build her portfolio here and was excited to learn about the vibrant arts culture in the county. “She’s very artistic and I want her to be able to see all the galleries while she is here,” Edwards said. Sports is also another area of interest for van Oosterhout, who proclaims to be an avid runner. She said she’d like to play volleyball and baseball — sports she doesn’t get as much exposure to at home — and continue to enjoy snowboarding and the various sports she can enjoy on the water surrounding the county. She also expects to be a regular at Wellington Dukes games this season and being billeted initially with hockey coach and former referee Scott Lavender and his family, she’ll get a healthy exposure to Canada’s national obsession. At an early stage in her time in Canada, van Ooster-

hout said she hasn’t yet tried a lot of food here, but said most North American foods are available at home. There was, however, one Canadian item she admitted she was curious to try. “I’ve heard about the maple syrup. We don’t have that,” she said, while asking Edwards what meals it was used for. She also said she has heard about Tim Hortons and how it is a “really big thing” here. In the Netherlands, fast food options are less prevalent. van Oosterhout said, there, Doetinchem is considered one of the smaller areas where a McDonalds franchise would be located, yet was surprised to find one in an area as small as Picton, let alone KFC, Subway, and Tim Hortons. An avid cook, van Oosterhout is interested in seeing the various culinary options available in the county, but is also eager to show off her own skills for her host families. One difference she noticed, however, is that here in Canada, most families have large barbecues, while at home, many just have a small grill to cook upon. Asked about the possibility of home sickness, van Oosterhout said she didn’t believe that would be a huge issue as she has taken vacations by herself in the past and has enjoyed them. She lives with her mom, her step-dad, and a little brother at home. She said her step-dad has been pretty good about hiding his emotions, though her mom has been “anxious” about her leaving and hopeful that everything goes well. “I will Skype her, but not

right away,” the exchange student said, adding she’d like to get accustomed to her new surroundings first. Her mother has some idea of what it is like for an exchange student to find her place in a foreign country, however. When Rotarians asked her to help find host families who would take in exchange students, she decided a better idea would be to open her own doors to a student. For four weeks before van Oosterhout came to Canada, she had an exchange student from Chile living at her home. She says she was away on vacation for some of that time, however, van Oosterhout did have a bit of time to share experiences with the visitor. Living in Prince Edward County, van Oosterhout was also impressed by the number of Dutch people who are living here. She learned of how the Prinzen family shielded some Allied troops in the Second World War, then emigrated here. She also found she recognized a number of names from her own country. “It seems like everybody has a relative here,” she said. Following her time with the Lavenders, van Oosterhout will stay with the Philip and Boysen-Lacher families before returning home. Edwards also said he hopes she’ll have a high profile within the community. “We want her to be well known and for people to realize there is an exchange program here.” The county also has an exchange student abroad this semester as Wellington resident Grace Conroy is now in Chile.

Awesome PEC supports skateboard-making workshop Prince Edward County 2014

Award-winning teacher hopes to empower youth with two-day creative seminar

Five local youth could be the big beneficiaries of Awesome PEC’s first $1,000 community grant. At a pitch party at Athol Town Hall Friday evening, the organization listened to four shortlisted presenters before agreeing to give money in support of Disloyal, a two-day skateboard-making workshop. Craig Morrison, the founding teacher of the award-winning Oasis Skateboard Factory alternative high school in Toronto was the proponent for the winning project. At Oasis, Morrison welcomes students to design, build, and market skateboards in exchange for academic credit. The students are able to enroll in the program for three semesters. As part of Disloyal, Morrison will mentor an experienced youth leader to lead the workshop for the young people to experience. After the session, the participants will be able to walk away with a handmade skateboard made of Canadian maple with Roarockit technology and their own custom graphics. “Some people think of youth as passive customers. It’s really empowering for them to be given the tools to create their own culture,” Morrison said. He explained to the Awesome Foundation Friday that the workshop would allow the participants to learn transferable creative and entrepreneurial skills that they could used to continue making their own skateboards. Perhaps, he noted, they could even teach friends how to do the same.

The Awesome trustees also heard from filmmaker Mihal Zada, who was championing Crumbs in the Food Basket, Andrea Brown, who advocated for Slow Taco, The Hungry Shelf Project, and from Kevin Scanlon, who was speaking for a storage project at the Storehouse Food Bank. Dean of Awesome Lenny Epstein said in a release that although those three presenters weren’t able to earn the grant money, each had a chance to make a pitch in a public setting and network with other potential funders and collaborators. The trustees for the Awesome Foundation put forward their own money to make the grants a reality as their way of helping contribute to the growth of their community. The foundation is presently taking applications for its next intake prior to a Nov. 1 deadline. The application is a rather simple process. Interested parties can visit the Awesome PEC web site at www.awesomepec.com and fill out a simple form that will ask for information about themselves, their project, and how they will use the money the foundation is going to provide. Globally, the Awesome movement started in Boston in 2009. In Canada, Prince Edward County is one of 20 different chapters that have been formed to give money away with no strings attached.

Dukes edged by Kingston to finish OJHL preseason Junior A club departs for Vermont to make final preparations for regular season Jason Parks

Staff writer

Late New York Yankees hurler Lefty Gomez has often been attributed with the quote “I'd rather be lucky than good because I've seen plenty of good guys lose but I've never seen a lucky guy lose.” As far as this corner is concerned, Kingston Voyageurs netminder Zach Springer was equal parts lucky and good Friday night as he backstopped his club to a 4-3 shading of the host Wellington Dukes in the local squad's final OJHL tune up. After a ho-hum start in which Wellington was outscored 3-1 in the opening frame, the club battled back of a pair of second period goals to square the affair after 40 minutes. Wellington held most of the play in the third but it was Joey Rutkowski who scored the games deciding goal when he blew but a Dukes defenceman and picked a corner on netminder Taylor Welsh at the 7:33 mark. Wellington blasted plenty of pucks at and by Springer and either hit leather or iron. “By all of accounts, we got off to a bit of a bad start and that always sets you back in this league but I think we battled hard and it was a good test for a lot of our guys,” Dukes coach and general manager Marty Abrams said.

PECI announces fall coaches

Potential PECI Panther athletes will be working hard in tryouts beginning this week. In advance of the fall campaign, the school announced its coaching roster via Twitter Monday. For boys volleyball, Adam Palmer will coach senior and Andrew Holmes junior. On the soccer pitch, Chris Windfeld will guide the program. The girls rugby team will be guided by Rob Furmidge, Lisa Fraser, and Ms. Tibbs. The girls basketball program will be led by Rob Garden, Andrew Wentworth, and Jen Travers. Sarah Vader has the golf team, while Laurie Spencer will coach cross country.

Kingston got off to the perfect start, banging home a pair in the opening 12 minutes to get out to a 2-0 lead. Dukes forward Luc Brown managed to cut the lead in half with a power-

continued to impress in his Dukes preseason debut, hooking up with Mascarin and blasting one through Springer at 7:32. At times in the second and third, Azzano showed flashes of brilliance and the

scrappy forward might give Abrams some additional scoring punch that may not have been counted on when he was picked up during the offseason from theWhitby Fury. “He's going to have to

play that way if he want's to get to the next level and I was more than happy to see how he played in his first game in a Dukes uniform,” Abrams added. Nick Devito got Wellington back to square at 12:50 of the second when he potted a power-play marker with assistance from Abbott Girduckis and Jacob Hethrington. The Dukes almost pulled ahead in the late stages of the second thanks to powerplay where they were buzzing the Vees cage. Brown just missed a back-door redirection that grazed the post and would have been a thing of beauty. Wellington would taste iron again in the third but couldn't beat Springer who looked ready to surrender the game tying goal at any minute but never did. In Dukes roster news, the club learned a number of players at OHL training camps are returning to the club. The Belleville Bulls dispensed forwards Jason Supryka, Griffin McCarty and Chase St. Aubin as well as blue liner Jacob Panetta while the Ottawa 67's have returned netminder Oliver Lefreniere. For a pair of those players, the move back to the village on the shores of Lake Ontario might be short term. Lefreniere might wind up starting out in Wellington only to be recalled to the OHL partway through the season much like Belleville Bulls netminder Charlie Graham was in the 2011-2012 campaign.

In other action Thursday, Warren's Excavating Ameliasburgh A's bested the Beatty Seeds Huskers 5-3. A's hurler Jamie Caughill was the winning pitcher while battery mate Rusty Brooks made a triumphant return to the diamond, homering in his first game of the 2014 season. The win (5-5-2, 12 points) moved the A's to within a point of the third

place Terra Vista (6-4-1, 13 points) although the Rockies have a game in hand over Ameliasburgh. The bottom portion of the standings are locked in as the Huskers and Copperheads have completed their schedules. With a late season push, the Huskers wound up with eight points (4-11) to shade the cellar dwelling Snakes by a point (3-11-1, seven points). In action tonight, Ameliasburgh host Frankford on the shores of Roblin Lake at 7:00 p.m. While Terra Vista and Whitepine battle at 8:30 p.m.

Panetta developing into key piece defensively

DUKES, from page 18

“Oliver will be one of our goalies but I intend to keep a guy handy at AAA or Junior C because I firmly believe that he is a shortterm Wellington Duke and a long-term Ottawa 67,” Abrams stated. Another player that could be called back to Major Junior is Supryka. It's great for us to have these players returned but in the case of Supryka, it could be very short term,” Abrams said.”There is a good possibility of player movement in Belleville and I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a call.” Panetta likely could have stayed at Bulls camp and tried to grab the eighth defenceman slot but wanted to keep his NCAA eligibility. Looking at his development over the past two seasons, Panetta should be a key contributor to the Wellington defensive corps this coming season and would be the first homegrown Wellington blueliner since Curtis Leonard to develop and blossom into an elite OJHL defender. “We expect him to take a serious role this season and be one of the best defencemen in the conference,” said Abrams “He's put in the time and effort and it's

been great to see his progression when you look at last season and the Dudley Hewitt Cup tournament. That's what we want to see out of players.

Local Habitat executive director Len Kennedy remarked the York Street project was the first full cycle build under his watch and and thanked the many individuals, groups, organizations and companies that contributed volunteer labour, materials, supplies and discounts. “And credit to Connie, she's been such a champion of the volunteer process, attending the site everyday, working, taking pictures, explaining the process. She's served many lunches and been a constant source of support,” Kennedy said. That support and faith in the project was key as it marched on through the summer and hit the usual snags and snares that all building projects do. As Habitat was founded in faith, a family bible was presented to the Matthews and it was perhaps fitting for the occasion, considering the stresses of getting the project to completion. Family partner Marcie Warren mentioned the Matthews had to have faith during the entire process and accept the challenges as they arose. “Even in moments of high stress when nothing was going right, it was the faith of the workers, the volunteers and yourself that it was all unfolding as it should and you were going to have a house at the end of it. A true testament to the same faith that started this organization 40 years ago,” Warren said. Prior to the ribbon cutting and open house, Pastor Don Wolcott closed the ceremony with a blessing and read Psalm 121:1 “I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from? /My help comes

Wellington will head to the Woodchuck Classic showcase earlier than normal this year and will actually return to Ontario Friday evening after playing four games in three days.

Former Ameliasburgh councillor aims for comeback Pennell hopes to offer integrity, accountability Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

Honesty, integrity, and accountability will be top priorities for Roy Pennell if he is elected this fall. The lifelong Ameliasburgh resident will seek a seat at Shire Hall in the Oct. 27 election. He previously served two terms with the former Ameliasburgh council prior to amalgamation. Pennell said he has always taken an active role in the community and currently serves as chair of the Ameliasburgh Fair Board. Pennell said he's fought for things such as roads, libraries, and halls as an individual, and will look to do the same as a councillor. Pennell, who works in the manufacturing industry, said he's seen both good decisions and bad through this term of council. He said he doesn't support trying to focus development and industry in specific areas. He said both should be spread equally across the municipality, and stressed that councillors

seekIng a seat Roy Pennell, a lifelong resident of Ameliasburgh ward, says he is running in the October election to push along projects that he says appear to have stalled in the municipality. (Chad Ibbotson/Gazette staff)

have to work together. “If we can get people interested in building or moving in some light industrial or light manufacturing, it should not matter where it goes, because any place in this county benefits the county,” he said.

In terms of priorities for the ward, Pennell said he wants to push projects that seem to have stalled — particularly road work. “The roads have went to heck. There's not enough money to bring the roads up to spec,” he said. “The

only way we can get things together in this county is to build a board to build roads. We've got to work as a team to promote the county as a whole.” He said the north of the county has plenty of potential for future development and is a bedroom community for those who travel to Trenton, Belleville, and Kingston for work. “There's lots of opportunity for small businesses to thrive. The county council has to work as a team to make that happen,” he said. Overall, he said the municipality has to get back to business and council has to get back to thoughtful representation. “The most important thing to the taxpayer should have been honesty, integrity, and accountability,” he said. “Unfortunately, I feel we've not got that all the way through. That's what we've got to get back to so people can afford to live here.” Pennell said he's committed to being mindful of tax dollars and will dedicate the time and energy required to fairly represent Prince Edward County residents.

Editor’s note: Over the weeks leading up to the Oct. 27 municipal election, the Gazette will be attempting to profile all of the candidates running for council in the county’s various wards and running for school board trustee. Attempts will be made to group candidates from similar wards together for an easy comparison, though space, candidates’ availability, and the date a candidate declares eligibility may mean that profiles for one ward may run in separate editions of the newspaper.

Tracey hopes to bring youthful perspective to Shire Hall

2014 MUNICIPAL ELECTION: IS YOUR NAME ON THE VOTERS’ LIST?

23-year-old Ameliasburgh candidate looks for plan to keep her peers in county Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

Rachael Tracey is hoping to provide a younger perspective on council and to encourage younger residents to be active in their community with her campaign. The Consecon resident filed her nomination papers earlier this summer, and will seek an Ameliasburgh council seat the Oct. 27 election. Tracey, who works in administration in the hotel and tourism industry, said she believes there should be some younger representation on council so that younger residents know there is someone who is willing to speak on their behalf. “I see so many times that people's dream is to leave. That shouldn't be the case, they should want to stay here and create their own business or, if they go to school, come back,” she said. Tracey said an encounter with a young resident prompted her to put her name on the ballot. “A youth came up to me and said, 'Why should I bother? Nobody is going to listen to me,'” she said. “That really got to me.” She said she would look to local youth organizations for their expertise in formulating a plan or programs to help retain younger residents thinking of leaving home.

“Obviously, they have the firsthand experience with the youth so we can see what their ideas are and get them involved,” she said. The 23 year old said while she has no prior political experience, she believes she can be a voice for young residents. In terms of priorities, she said it's important for other young residents to follow her lead and get involved in their government. “Mostly it's getting young people out and motivated to get into politics, just to help youth get more inspired and to help keep youth in the county,” she said. She said there's a lot the county and offer youth and, similarly, a lot youth can give back to Prince Edward County. “There needs to be some work done on keeping them here,” she said. While she'll be seeking increased focus on youth retention, Tracey said she's comfortable with the direction the municipality is heading overall. “I find it's more progressive than it has been,” she said. For Tracey, one of the county's biggest issue is the lack of good, full-time jobs. She said the environment and maintaining the county's tourism profile are also concerns.

Listening Tim Fellows, who is seeking to represent the residents of Ameliasburgh in the upcoming election, says he’ll let the residents dictate his priorities. He said he wants to make things happen . (Chad Ibbotson/Gazette staff)

Fellows wants to get things done at council table for Ameliasburgh ratepayers Advocate for disabled workers pledges to listen to his potential constituents’ wishes Chad ibbotson

StaFF writEr

Tim Fellows is hoping to call attention to the issues facing disabled workers as he runs for a council seat in Ameliasburgh in the upcoming municipal election. Fellows, who is disabled, said he's been trying to find steady full-time employment and get off the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) for 30 years, but it hasn't been easy. In 1991 Fellows said he had an opportunity to attend a Bible college in Picton, but the program wouldn't support the $600 cost. They would support a $1,200 per year program at Loyalist College, however. Ultimately, he took on a roommate to help pay for the school, but said ODSP began deducting money from his financial support when informed of the living situation. Fellows said that's just one example of how the program isn't adequate for disable workers looking to improve their situation. He said when his wife recently found full-time employment he lost the financial support from program and was again forced to find new work to support himself. That's when he decided

he'd had enough and would run for council. He said he'd work hard to make sure issues get resolved. “The last meeting I went to was hilarious. Things never got done,” he said. “When I see a project or a thing I just do it. When I need something fixed, I go out to the welding shop, find whatever I need, and make it happen.” Fellows said he doesn't have any predetermined priorities for the ward, saying he prefers instead to let residents point him in the right direction. “Being a councillor, people could tell me what they need done and I can bring it to council and make it happen,” he said. “If I'm the councillor, people give me the heads up on what they want done I'll watch that.” Fellows pointed to industrial wind developments as a critical issue in Prince Edward County. “That could still be on the table,” he said. He said that doesn't mean he's totally against wind energy projects, however. “Wind is wind. It's there and it makes hydro, so we just have to find a place to make people happy where they won't see it,” said Fellows. The election will be held Monday, Oct. 27.

Caribbean municipal officials to visit county this week Mentorship program draws guests from Guyana, Saint Lucia, Jamaica, and Trinidad CHAD IBBOTSON

Staff writer

Some visiting international officials will get a taste of the county this week. Elected municipal officials from Guyana, Saint Lucia, Jamaica, and Trinidad will be in Prince Edward County Sept. 4â&#x20AC;&#x201C;5 to get a look at local economic development strategies as part of the Caribbean Local Economic Development (CARILED) program. The municipality announced earlier this week the visiting officials will convene with County staff who will provide a look at local programs and development structure. The officials will get a look at the municipality's new community development commission model and will be shown how the municipality has worked to cultivate key community partnerships. Municipal strategic planning and public consultation will be on the docket, as well as the importance of community branding, business support programs, and a one-window approach to development applications and

approvals. Mayor Peter Mertens says in a release from the municipality the program could help visiting officials spur sustainable economic expansion back home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are looking forward to hosting our CARILED partners from the Caribbean this week,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Along with our community partners, the County will be sharing our new approach to community development, allowing participants to observe innovative approaches that are proving to be successful in the county â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and could be used to increase sustainable economic growth in the Caribbean.â&#x20AC;? The release says the program's participants will also receive presentations from the Picton Business Improvement Association, the Prince Edward Lennox and Addington Community Futures Development Corporation, the Prince Edward County Chamber of Tourism and Commerce, and the Small Business Centre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These organizations will be providing an overview of each of their roles in the continued

HOROSCOPES

ARIES (Mar 21/Apr 20) Aries, take the high road when you find yourself in the midst of a disagreement with a friend. It may be tempting to stick to your guns, but the disagreement is nothing too significant. TAURUS (Apr 21/May 21) Much is going on, Taurus, and you have trouble zeroing in on a focal point. Unless you make a list of all you want to accomplish, you may get lost in the shuffle. GEMINI (May 22/Jun 21) You sometimes change your moods on a whim, Gemini. But lately you have been more steadfast in your convictions. This behavior will continue for some time. CANCER (Jun 22/Jul 22) Don't make any rash moves in the next few days, Cancer. For whatever reason your common sense meter is a little off. You may want to run ideas past a trusted friend for a while. LEO (Jul 23/Aug 23) Leo, unless you try you will never be able to tell if something is within your capabilities. Do not be afraid to fail. It's better than putting in no effort at all. VIRGO (Aug 24/Sept 22) Virgo, you're wearing your heart on your sleeve this week. Don't worry, as your willingness to share your emotions will endear you to others.

LIBRA (Sept 23/Oct 23) There are only so many hours in the day, Libra. You need to pick and choose your activities accordingly. You likely will not be able to squeeze everything in. SCORPIO (Oct 24/Nov 22) Scorpio, if you want to get involved in something, then by all means give it your best shot. If it's something foreign to you, let others take the reigns until you're more comfortable. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23/Dec 21) A new perspective is all you need to feel better this week, Sagittarius. A change of scenery or even looking to an old friend for advice can make a real difference. CAPRICORN (Dec 22/Jan 20) The friends you thought you could count on turn out to be the real deal, Capricorn. Just see what they have in store for you this week. You will be so surprised. AQUARIUS (Jan 21/Feb 18) It is okay to have strong opinions, Aquarius. But respect the opinions of others who may disagree with your point of view. Learn how to walk away from pointless situations. PISCES (Feb 19/Mar 20) There's more to the story than meets the eye, Pisces. Quick judgement may land you in hot water. Wait for the dust to settle.
