255 Kids of Steel try their best at triathlon Registrations on the rise as more people discover affordable, accessible sport CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER
Kids from across the region once again showed what they're made of at the ninth annual Kids of Steel Triathlon on Sunday. A total of 255 athletes ages six to 17 biked, swam, and ran their way through the course around the Prince Edward Fitness and Aquatic Centre. That was up from 237 kids last year, said race co-director Stephanie Roth. Kids came from across the region with groups coming from Peterborough, Ottawa, and Toronto. While it was a bit chilly and rain threatened throughout the morning, it wasn't the worst weather the event has seen. Roth remembered one year there was pouring rain and it was only a couple of degrees above zero. “It was almost snowing out,” Roth said. With the total number of athletes rising over last year, Roth said she believes the triathlon is sport on the rise with many kids being exposed to it for the first time during the Olympics. “It's an up-and-coming sport in the Olympics and everybody can do it,” she said. “It's affordable — the registration isn't too bad — the training they can almost
do on their own, the running and biking.” In speaking to triathletes, Roth attributed the popularity of Kids of Steel to the fact that PEFAC and its pool are a central point in each leg of the race. “I spoke to one triathlete and he said it's easy because everything comes to the same point, you feel like you know where everything is,” she said. “Sometimes in bigger centres there is a transition to different places and you never come back to the same spot.” Additionally, in Loyalist College students assisted with a social media campaign for the event. “They helped us with our social media big time,” Roth said. “I thought the numbers were going to be down this year and we're right where we're supposed to be.” Local registrations are also on the rise, she said. Roth said the most important thing for the kids is to be safe and try their best to complete the race. She thanked the community for their support. “We've had great support from the community this year,” she said. “We were starving for volunteers a week and a half ago — we only had 50 volunteers — now we have about 120.”

Councillors backed a letter of intent supporting the proposed new hospital in Prince Edward County at last week's committee-of-the-whole meeting. The motion says council will provide the letter of intent to the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation (PECMHF) indicating the County will provide a grant in the amount of $1.25 million, minimum, payable over 10 years, subject to the Ministry of Health and Long-term Care's approval to build a new hospital in Prince Edward County and subject to final budget approval by council. The motion also directs staff to work with PECMHF and health-care officials in order to recommend a final amount during the budget process taking into account the financial needs of the building project, the municipality's finances and the high priority council places on the building of a new hospital.

Current War Memorial sentry commander calls Picton his hometown Vigar honoured to be called to guard monument where soldier was shot ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER
Following the sorrowful day last October when an unarmed Cpl. Nathan Cirillo was gunned down guarding the National War Memorial, one might think sentry duty is an unwanted assignment. The Picton man who is now the section commander of the third rotation of Canadian Forces personnel to guard the Ottawa monument since sentries returned April 9 says that just isn't the case. "I'm certainly looking forward to it. I never thought twice about doing the task and everyone here thinks the same," Sgt. Ryan Vigar said Tuesday. "It's an honour

A 16-year veteran of the military, Vigar is a member of the Lord Strathcona's Horse (Royal Canadians) regiment, which is stationed in Edmonton. He explained a call recently came through his chain of command for people willing to move east for a rotation in the sentry program. He was selected from among his peers to be section commander of a 20-man unit in Ottawa. The unit keeps watch over the War Memorial, which sits steps from Parliament Hill just west of the Rideau Canal from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.

the memory of Cirillo being fatally shot Oct. 22 by gunman Michael Zehaf-Bibeau gave him pause. Reflecting on a career that saw him stationed in the former Yugoslavia, Bosnia, and Afghanistan, he stated that danger is simply a part of the job. "I've been deployed overseas and I've had to deal with similar kinds of things to the incident you're describing," he said. "I think for us to do anything less (than guard the memorial) wouldn't be properly honouring his memory." Vigar said his company understands the Department of National Defence has a policy not to arm the sentries and said they respect that and train for their duties with that knowledge. He added the Ottawa police is armed and on guard should anyone attempt to harm the sentries or the site. He added its has been an energizing experience guiding a unit with a median age of 22, where all of its members have been eager to participate in their rare posting. "It's always good to be working with motivated people who enjoy what they do. it makes the job easier," he said. Being posted close to the county has also had its benefits for Vigar, who was born in Windsor, Ont. but says after a "bit of a transient life," he now considers Picton his hometown. It is where he goes to visit his parents, who still live in the county. Last week, they made the trip east as their son and company were on duty as the Netherlands King WillemAlexander and Queen Maxima laid a wreath at the memorial. After that ceremony, they were able to visit. Vigar said it was a special day for him. "It was really nice for them to be able to see me working," he said. "They don't get to see a lot of me as it is because I'm out in Alberta." Vigar said he's already visited the county during some of his off-duty hours and he was planning some additional rest and relaxation here before his return west.

Volunteer Builders lend their time to restore Consecon-area children’s camp Five days of work leads to $150,000 in renovations at Pleasant Bay including new decks, windows, doors, and siding for six cabins five years to complete was finished in just five days. “It never would have been a reality, this would have been too big to comprehend,� he said.
CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER
It's all about paying it forward. That was the message shared by those working with not-for-profit organization Volunteer Builders during a five-day restoration of six children's cabins at Pleasant Bay Camp near Consecon last week. Anyone staying at Pleasant Bay Camp this summer will be the beneficiary of the significant restoration work, which includes new decks, windows, and doors. Each of the six cabins also had siding replaced with board and batten. The work began Wednesday and was expected to conclude on Sunday, with close to 140 volunteers participating through the duration of the build. The project marked the organization's 15th year of building. While the camp supplied most of the materials, Volunteer Builders supplied the labour — approximately $150,000 worth of it over the five-day build — said Volunteer Builders co-director Scott Hartman. “Our job is to build one building for a worthy recipient every year,� he said. He said while the program isn't necessarily directed at camps, the recipients need to be able to host and feed a large number of volunteers.

“Camps seem to have that and, for our group, that's probably the most rewarding thing, children's camps,� he said. “We all get back a lot more than we put in honestly.� Volunteers come from all backgrounds, Hartman said, including those working in trades, social media, and even cartography. “A lot of us are successful executives and it's just giving back,� he said. Fellow co-director Craig Silva echoed the sentiment. “We all come here for one reason and it's to help any camp that needs some work,� he said. “We'll either put up a new building or, in this case with Pleasant Bay, we're basi-
cally revitalizing it, we ripped off some siding, we're putting up new siding.� Silva said the buildings would also be upgraded to allow handicap accessibility on all of the cabins. “There's no real motivation aside from making sure kids are enjoying what they're doing,� he said. Pleasant Bay Camp executive director Judy Hannah said the camp wouldn't have been able to do the work without the help of the volunteers. “It's just huge for us. We pay for some of the material, but the labour that they give is above and beyond,� she said.

Hannah said the renovations mean so much to the camp, especially the facelift to the exteriors, noting that first impressions with parents can make the difference between a kid coming back or not. Pleasant Bay kids camp director Mark Hymus said having the volunteers there to do the work was a blessing for the kids. “It will just raise the level of the experience of the kids coming here,� he said. “A lot of kids come from inner cities, a lot of our kids are foster kids, or kids from poorer areas, so the experience they get out here is just unreal to them.� What could have taken

Tennis enthusiasts serve plan for Benson courts
“By allowing people to get a tax receipt obviously their money goes a lot further,” he said. Councillor Steve Ferguson said the group's attitude was encouraging. “Thank you for taking the bull by the horns and gathering a group and recognizing what needs to be done and doing it of your own initiative rather than at the cost of taxpayers,” he said. Staff are expected to come back with a report on the project to a future meeting.
Group looks to raise $35,000 to restore playing surface for multiple uses CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER
A delegation of local tennis players plan to refurbish the courts in front of Benson Hall with or without federal dollars. Picton resident Victor Lind spoke to committee of the whole on behalf of the group last week, outlining their plan to fundraise the estimate $35,000 needed to bring the court back to a playable condition. “When I first moved here permanently four years ago, I must say I was a little shocked with the condition of the tennis courts in Picton,” he said. He said he subsequently met up with Herb Pliwischkies, Dave and Nancy Cleave, and Joe Gillis and the group ultimately decided to raise the funds. “We got together and said this county has a wonderful tradition of volunteerism and a can-do attitude, and why are we always relying on the taxpayer, why don't we just do it,” he said. Lind said after meeting with the municipality it became clear there is interest to allow multiple uses at the site. “There's clearly an interest in involving something bigger than tennis,” he said. “There are people who want to play pickle ball, there are kids who occasionally come in and play ball hockey.” He said encouraging multiple purposes will help with the fundraising process. “That certainly is going to help us get to the finish line if I can go to somebody and say are you willing to donate $500 or $1,000 to this project and it's going to be a project that's just tennis, it's going to be a multi-sport court,” he said. He said the group recently became aware of the federal government's Canada 150 grant program and the county's application to it, but said the group will continue on with the assumption that funding won't be available. “We have now committed to raise the $35,000,” he said. “…We heard about project 150, we've been

invited to a few meetings, we're certainly collaborating with that. If that happens our donation would be part of that bigger picture and in the meantime I have to assume it may not happen.” While he said the price tag seems high, the group is actively looking for the best price possible. Currently the estimated budget includes
$19,000 for a new asphalt surface, $7,000 for a colour coat rubber surface, and $6,500 to prepare the old surface, install drainage, and relocate a walkway. Lind asked council to declare the project of community interest, which will allow the municipality to issue charitable receipts for donations.

COMMENTARY Education key in wake of residential schools’ damage
T
EARS and applause met the ceremonial end of the work Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission did to detail the legacy left by the residential schools Aboriginal children were forced to attend for generations within this country. The work is the result of six years of investigation, over 6,000 interviews, and undoubtedly, many more experiences than can be summed up stastically. For many Canadians, it might be difficult to grasp the legacy of these schools because it simply wasn’t something we ever had to experience. In most cases, regular law-abiding families don’t have their children taken from them at the hands of law enforcement and church officials one would suspect are in place to protect them. Families and communities aren’t ripped apart, nor do many of our educational institutions encourage us to abandon our learned cultures and language at the risk of swift punishment. By putting one’s self in that position, it is easier to understand the toll the toll that practice took on those parents and their children who had to endure this abuse and one can more logically see how that might contribute to the cycle of broken families, poverty, and isolation statistics show exist in higher prevalence in some Aboriginal communities than elsewhere. While the commission put out several calls to action that would encourage government and Aboriginal leaders to work together to improve living conditions and to ensure those people play a role in their own governance when it comes to social services, law enforcement, and health care, it seems one of the most important focuses on their recommendations is education.

It is important to share stories about the horrors caused by residential schools while the wounds are still fresh before it becomes a forgotten footnote in the history books. If more Canadians can find empathy by placing themselves in the positon of those who suffered and if they can bring that understanding forward, that understanding can be the impetus for change. By the same token, Canada should play a supporting role in ensuring that native languages and customs are preserved and promoted. While early immigrants and past governments may not have understood their importance Jean Morrison Debbie McCann at the time , there is a rich pool of knowledge that can be saved and shared. It Publisher Business Manager likely will be a focal point of a resurgeance of the Aboriginal bands who have been saddled with this mandated atrocity. With that shared education anticipated, one hopes this report will be the beginning of a new era of trust and co-operation that will eventually see First Nations looking forward to what can be done to promote prosperity, rather than looking backward at what had happened to stifle it. To be sure, Canada has a long road ahead to make amends for that chapter in its history and to gain confidence after such betrayals. As a federal election looms this fall, it will be interesting to see how the Karen Gyde Christine DeMille country reacts to the commission’s findings and which steps will be taken by Classifieds Manager Classifieds political leaders with respect to these calls to action. The idea of an inquest into missing native women and the debate about what should be done first and to what extent could become defining issues moving forward. Actions will tell if this commission is a starting point or a wasted opportunity.

What a great community we have, thank you. The race directors of the ninth annual County Kids of Steel would like to extend our thanks once again to our community for another successful race this past Sunday. The 256 “Kids of Steel” were inspirational; finishing the race in cold, wet and windy conditions
with huge smiles on their faces! Hats off to our amazing volunteers. We had over 100 volunteers from our community come out and stand in less than perfect conditions for many hours to ensure every child finished the race. The enthusiasm and dedication from our volunteers is incredible

to the farmers who use it to grow corn, soybeans and other field crops," Bonmatin says. Neonics are banned in Europe and under review by federal regulators in both Canada and the United States, while Ontario has
promised to greatly reduce their use in the province. Bonmatin states that "farmers are prisoners of the system. They are wary of planting without the security promised by the seed sellers, a fear that is reinforced by lenders that tie loans to
crop yield." A recent U.S. government study has shown that soybean growers saw no benefit (in increased yield) from using neonic-coated seeds. Wesley Weese Carrying Place
Authors Dymond Leavey, Alcock to visit libraries The library is presenting two authors this month, as well as an art class, a dance workshop, and a unique fundraising workshop by Andrew McLuhan. On Wednesday, June 10 at 1 p.m., the library is pleased to have author Peggy Dymond Leavey at the Picton branch speaking about her new book Molly Brant: Mohawk Loyalist and Diplomat. Many have heard of Joseph Brant, but few are even aware of his older sister, Molly. Born in poverty in the colony of New York in 1736, Molly Brant was the unlikely Mohawk consort of Sir William Johnson, one of the wealthiest and most influential white men in 18th Century America. She was one of the few women of her time who was comfortable in both Mohawk and European worlds. After Sir William's death on the eve of the American Revolution, Molly was suspected of spying for the British, and she and her eight children were forced to flee their Mohawk Valley home. Because of her considerable abilities to influence the Native people, she found refuge at Fort Niagara where she became a vital link between the Natives and the Canadian Indian Department. Before the age of 40, Brant was a prominent political figure in her own right, respected by both American and British government officials. Brant was one of the founders of English Canada and one of the most important Loyalists. Dymond Leavey has written numerous short stories, a book about the early movie industry in Trenton, and was a contributing editor for three books of local history. Her novels for young readers — she has nine to her credit - have been nominated for the Silver Birch Award in the Ontario schools and have been shortlisted for the Manitoba Young Readers' Choice
INSIDE THE LIBRARY Christine Renaud
Award, the Arthur Ellis Award, and the Canadian Library Association's Book of the Year for Children Award. She has written three biographies about Canadian women for the Quest Biography Series of Dundurn Press. Her book, Laura Secord: Heroine of the War of 1812, was shortlisted for the 2013 Speaker's Book Award. No stranger to county readers, Leavey worked for the County of Prince Edward Public Library as branch librarian in Ameliasburgh and Consecon for almost 17 years. A little less than a week later, on Tuesday, June 16 at 7 p.m., the library will host a reading and talk by author Gloria Alcock at the Wellington branch library. Her book Nurse at the Top of the World is a memoir of her many years of nursing and midwifery in the far north. Alcock was schooled in Winnipeg and Thunder Bay. Following a variety of careers across Canada, she traveled to England and Scotland in 1961 to gain the training in nursing and midwifery that would allow her to look after what were then called the Eskimo people. In 1965, she returned to Canada, spending two years at the nursing station in Tuktoyaktuk, NT and opening the first nursing station in
Resolute Bay in 1969. Over the next 22 years, Alcock served as director of public health nurses for the Northwestern Health Unit. The stories in her book reflect her work, more than 40 years ago; before Anik satellite, when Iqaluit was Frobisher Bay, Inuit were Eskimo and there was still the division between eastern and western Arctic. The law had just been changed to allow for birth control teaching and Ampicillan had just come on the market. The Aboriginal people had no diabetes, the Cold War was still raging and man had not yet walked on the moon. In addition to the written arts, the library is pleased to host a tactile workshop with artist Hedy Campbell. The creative t-shirt Painting class is on Friday June 12 from 1 p.m. to 4:30 at the Picton branch. Registration is required with the artist at: hedycampbell@hotmail.com or by calling 613-476-6577. Cost is $15 payable at the class. On Friday, June 19, the library presents a Balfolk dance workshop at the Picton Town Hall. Balfolk is European folk dancing that is enjoying a renaissance, becoming increasingly popular with young and old in cities in Europe and Canada. The family friendly workshop takes place for free at the hall on Ross Street from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. On Saturday, June 20 from 4 -5:30 p.m. at the Picton branch, Andrew McLuhan presents “The medium is the message what does that really mean?" based on the writings of Marshall McLuhan. Cost is $25 with proceeds generously donated to benefit The County of Prince Edward Public Library & Archives. Spaces are limited and registration is required with Andrew McLuhan at: ideasynch@yahoo.ca For a full list of the many programs at the library, please visit the online events calendar at: peclibrary.org or call 613-476-5962

The Picton Gazette Councillors ask staff to review bylaws and make further recommendations about use on urban, rural streets, municipal properties
Residents seek year-round ban on ATV use in County playgrounds and parks CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER
If a group of residents get its wish, all-terrain vehicles will face a year-round ban in playgrounds and parks in Prince Edward County. Currently the County's bylaws prohibit the use of ATVs on certain roads year round and others on a seasonal basis, but there are no regulations around their use in county parks, playgrounds or municipal land. Councillors voted at last week's committee-of-thewhole meeting to have staff come back with a report and recommendations regarding ATV use on urban and resi-
dential streets and playgrounds and parks in the municipality. The motion also adds the use and regulation of ATVs into the Millennium Trail master review. Recently, the County and Prince Edward OPP have seen an uptick in complaints regarding ATV use, which prompted an increased police presence where ATV use is prohibited. However, some residents are calling for greater restrictions on the vehicles. Among them is Picton resident Lawrence Cornett who addressed the committee at the meeting. Cornett said he was representing a delegation of families and children living around Delhi Park.
“The current bylaw allows motorized vehicles including ATVs in our playgrounds, parks, and on urban streets,” he said Cornett recited a letter addressed to the mayor that was sent from another resident regarding the issue. The letter says the situation is getting more dangerous and annoying as many of the vehicles travel at excessive speeds and some appear to be unlicensed. “We have evidence that residents on streets south of Main Street are similarly concerned,” said Cornett. He said some residents have noted ATVs travelling along Chapel Street from the Picton United Church parking
lot which is private property, but provides easy access to Delhi Park. “We estimate that on the east side of Delhi Park, five streets with about 155 people and more children than the west side are affected.” He said the residents have spoken directly to ATV riders who indicated they were allowed to travel the back streets as outlined in the municipal bylaw. “From Ferguson, Burns, Bowery, Chapel streets in the west to Cumberland, Thomas, Nicholas, Richmond, and Pitt streets in the east, we have children who are at risk using an urban playground as well as seniors in a church parking lot or at a County leash-free dog park,” said Cornett. He asked that the current bylaw be amended to include a year-round ban on ATVs in playgrounds and parks. He
also asked that the bylaw include an insert that would list the names of all Picton streets where ATVs are banned. “There has been an obvious increase in enforcement in the areas that (the police) can enforce, but they can't enforce in the park because the park is not included in the bylaw. While councillors seemed to appreciate the concerns, they also noted the importance of evaluating a ban on ATVs on a site-specific basis. Councillor Treat Hull noted photographs included in Cornett's deputation, saying they didn't really show the full extent of the damage. “The photographs actually underestimate the wanton destruction of the newly landscaped areas of Delhi Park,” he said. “Somebody or somebodies have obviously been doing high-speed doughnuts
where the municipality just paid to have the site of the old treatment plant seeded.” He said the damage is extensive, but he also cautioned against extending the regulations too far into rural areas. “I appreciate that parks and roads can play a different role in the rural portions of the municipality compared to the urban,” he said. Councillor David Harrison also expressed concern about the extent of any ATV regulations considered when it to the county's rural areas. “We're trying to legislate here against a very small minority that abuse the situation,” he said. “I certainly would not be in favour of (banning ATV use in) parks like the one in Cressy. I often see people hook onto their boats and launch their boats with an ATV.”

CCF to offer Vital Signs update Monday Report to show progress in food security, learning and transportation

STAFF WRITER
On Monday, the County Community Foundation (CCF) is inviting the community to see how far it has come with its Vital Signs campaign since its initial report was unveiled two years ago. At 9 a.m. at the Bloomfield Town Hall, the organization will release an eight-page report entitled Moving Forward Together, which will outline the progress being made in three areas identified in 2013 as challenges — food security, getting around, and learning. "After the 2013 report, our advisory committee prioritized these three issue areas. We formed working groups and they've been hard at it in terms of getting together on a regular basis and looking to see what they can do to address these issues," said Vital Signs project lead Brian Beiles. "We'll report on what they've done. This thing hasn't just sat on a shelf. A lot of things have happened." The document will restate the problems identified, using data from 2013 or new data that has been collected since. It will detail the projects that have taken place in the past two years, including some ongoing initiatives to address each of the three areas. Beiles said there will be some new data available, including a youth engagement study conducted by the learning working group and a transportation study that was completed by 620 county residents. He said he expects there are some things in the report that will open some eyes. "People will be surprised in the food area what the cost of food has moved to‌ there are some interesting findings in terms of youth engagement. There are also some interesting moving forward items in there," he said, adding it is concerning how many people don't have the facts presented in 2013. "One of the things that is disconcerting is that after two years, every now and then we do presentations around the issues and some people are in disbelief around some of the statistics that have actually emerged," he said. Despite that, the CCF has managed to act as a catalyst in getting some important partners involved in the discussion, or perhaps more accurately, it has pulled them together. More than 40 organizations are involved in the three groups and sharing information. CCF president Joan Pennefather explained many of the partners already did their own individual projects with respect to food security, learning, or transportation. As part of the Vital Signs process, they're now working collaboratively and they know there are mechanisms to help achieve more.

"When you look at the organizations that are working with us, they've already started. We're helping work that has already been done and we're galvanizing around the gaps," she said. "It's the collaborative effort of many. We're supporting a cause and a change. We're saying that we've offered a new approach that we think will be very effective over time." Indeed, the CCF acknowledges the approach isn't necessarily new with inter-service organizations meeting periodically over time, but there has been some success in addressing the issues in the scope of an overarching community plan, supported by the process undertaken. "One of the ways this works is that people realize this is our community, this is our problem, and we have to work together on it," said Pennefather. "At some point in time, something has to change. That's what this report is about, to keep going and to move forward. We're not there yet." Beiles acknowledged that doesn't mean there haven't been fierce debates about how to solve issues facing the county — there have been, but said the participants have remained focused to work on the task at hand to develop projects and agreements all parties are comfortable with. Pennefather said simply finding ways to share information has been key. It has worked to gather credible information through the Vital Signs process and under its guidance, the three key areas
were highlighted. "If you have two hours where you can hear what everyone else is doing, you have an ability to move forward," she said, noting that project co-ordinator Diane Milan has done a great job administrating the working groups and developing projects that will achieve the CCF's stated visions. The chair said her organization hasn't exactly played a passive role in the work.. "We're putting ourselves up front in terms of what we think are the issues," she said. "We're providing research and information and we're bringing groups together around the solutions." One way the CCF can facilitate that is by providing vehicles to raise money and resources to support those projects. It does that through philanthropy, providing its own community fund grants and also administering endowment and legacy funds designed to support specific community goals. "This does take time, and that's where the idea of a community foundation comes in," she said. It's not just raising money for the immediate, but making sure there's a collection of resources available over time." Beiles said all of the working group members have been invited to the launch and there will be a chance to talk with some of them about the progress they're making. The CCF will also invite visitors to provide feedback and to become active as volunteers or donors.

County plans to add eight parking spaces behind Wellington Town Hall Project expected to cost $30,000 or less CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER
Parking in Wellington was again a topic of discussion for councillors at last week's committee-of-the-whole meeting. It looks like the municipality could be adding several parking spaces to downtown Wellington. A motion approved by the committee directs staff to remove an unused parks/public works
shed behind Wellington Town Hall and to grade the land, cover it with gravel, and combine it with the current town hall parking lot. The measure is expected to add up to eight spaces with the cost expected to be between $20,000 and $30,000. That includes the cost to tear down the shed, which is estimated to be between $5,000–$6,000 plus $100 for a demolition permit, plus the cost to grade and fill the parking lot which is estimated at $15,000–$20,000, as well as $300 for a parking sign. Acting chief administra-
tive officer and director of finance James Hepburn advised the cost should come from the municipality's capital sustainability reserve, indicating the reserve currently contains approximately $2.8 million. However, councillor Jamie Forrester argued the money should come from the $400,000 that was budgeted to be borrowed by the municipality for the purchase of land for parking improvements in the village. “I'm just wondering why this money wouldn't come out of the money we set
aside in budget this year for parking in Wellington,” Forrester asked staff at the meeting. Forrester put forward a motion to do as much, which was ultimately approved by the committee. He said council can't keep adding things to the budget in the middle of the year. “We should go ahead and do this, but it should be a budgeted process, it should not just come out of a reserve fund,” he said. “It should come out of money we set aside for parking. We can look to the future and
there's going to be a lot of need for this reserve fund.” He said council shouldn't take any money from the reserve without knowing the full impact. Councillor Roy Pennell supported the additional parking. “I realize it's costing some money and yes it is a band-aid effect,” Pennell said. “But, realistically, I visited Wellington last week in the middle of the afternoon and it was a Tuesday or Wednesday and I couldn't believe you couldn't find a parking spot from one end
right through to the other.” Hepburn said the municipality has not yet borrowed the money and said the cost of this project would not be borrowed separately than any additional land purchases for parking in Wellington. He said this motion could result in additional borrowing. However, the municipality has yet to indicate if or when it will purchase any additional property for parking in the village this year. The motion will still have to be approved by council at their next meeting.

between the actual sale price and the fair market value of the unit. Daniel would therefore have to pay $150,000 in taxes. The CRA says that promoters of these schemes are often polished and professional, and go to great lengths to make the schemes look legitimate. They may use Internet ads and websites, local newspaper ads, and hold promotional meetings or seminars in hotel banquet halls. Promoters will often provide letters from purported professionals to give the impression that they endorse the scheme. Do not assume that these schemes and the promised tax benefits are legal under the Income Tax Act. To be sure that you don’t fall victim to one of these schemes, CRA suggests that taxpayers get professional, independent advice. If you are thinking about investing in one of these arrangements, get independent legal and tax advice from a tax professional who is not connected to the scheme or the promoter. If you think that you received questionable tax advice and are now wondering if it was legitimate; or if you willingly participate in a questionable tax scheme; the CRA suggests that you come forward and correct your tax affairs through the CRA's voluntary disclosures program. Filing a valid voluntary disclosure before the CRA starts compliance action means you could pay only the taxes you owe plus interest, and you may avoid penalties and potential pros-

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is warning Canadians about tax schemes that claim you can benefit from the funds or property held in registered retirement investment vehicles without making a withdrawal and without paying any income tax. The information in this column is from the CRA. According to the CRA, taxpayers who participate in these tax schemes could be avoiding or evading taxes, and this will result in serious consequences. Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Rules in the Income Tax Act (“prohibitive advantage rules”) prevent individuals from using the property or funds held inside their RRSP or RRIF to realize an advantage. While the law allows some notable, legal exceptions (such as using the funds to participate in the Home Buyers’ Plan and the Lifelong Learning Plan), individuals must normally first withdraw the property from their RRSP or RRIF and pay the related income tax. Scheme 1 - Through his RRSP, Daniel buys shares of a corporation that owns a condominium unit. The fair market rental rate is $1,000 per month, or $12,000 per year. In return for his RRSP buying the shares, Daniel gets to rent the condo at a reduced rate of $750 per month, or $9,000 per year. Daniel has enjoyed the advantage of a preferential rental rate through the use of his RRSP funds. That will cost him -- he must pay tax equal to 100 per cent of the fair market value of the benefit extended to him. That is, Daniel would have to pay $3,000 (the difference between the market rate and the actual rate) in taxes for every year that he rents the condo at this preferred rate. Scheme 2 - Through his RRSP, Daniel buys shares of a corporation that owns a condominium unit. The corporation sold the condo unit to Daniel at a reduced price of $250,000—less than the fair market value of $400,000. Daniel has enjoyed the advantage of a reduced purchase price through the use of his RRSP funds. That means he is subject to a tax equal to 100 per cent of the difference

A GOOD PAIRING Lighthall Vineyards is among a small number of wineries in Canada that also produces cheese.

Lighthall among select group making wine and cheese
Regular readers of my column will know that I consider pizza and wine the perfect pairing but most other wine lovers in the world would argue cheese and wine is the perfect pairing. I will admit here it's a close second for me. And with the Great Canadian
Jazz, Blues, Rock, Folk & more at The Regent!
ummer is upon us, and why not take your guests (or yourself!) to a live concert at The Regent Theatre?
Take a trip back in time with “The Wintergarten Orchestra� on June 6th. This group of seasoned professionals will travel back to the dawn of jazz of the 1920’s with their brash horns, moody rhythms and crooning vocals. It’s their first time to Picton; let’s show them a good crowd! Next up, Zapp Productions presents the County’s 1st All Canadian Roots and Blues Festival. On Friday June 19th Jimmy Bowskill will headline a night of virtuoso guitarists which will also include Conor Gains and his band and Sean Pinchin. Jimmy Bowskill was discovered at a very young age by Jeff Healey and soon thereafter was touring internationally. On June 20th Juno nominees, The 24th Street Wailers easily one of the most energetic soulful blues bands in Canada will be joined by the rockin’ juke joint blues of CATL plus more special guests. Back by popular demand, indie-rock superstars Hey Rosetta! from Newfoundland return on Thursday June 25th. Their group adds strings to a more typical rock-band creating a rafter reaching orchestral sound that is both impressive and intimate at times. Tribute show fanatics have been asking for a “Neil Diamond� show for years. Well, ask no more, as Mark Thomas who captures the look and striking baritone voice of the star will take the stage backed by the fabulous Memphis Cats on July 19th Canadian folk icon Valdy returns to the Regent on Saturday July 25th. He tells stories through song (and even more stories between songs!) and we are richer for the joyful experience. For tickets, please visit or contact the Regent Theatre Box Office at 224 Main St. in Picton or by phone at (613) 4768416 ext. 28 Tickets to these and other great live shows can also be purchased online at www.TheRegentTheatre.org
Cheese Festival here in Picton June 6-7 I thought now would be a great time for this column I recently talked to Glenn Symons and found there were big changes at Lighthall Vineyards and figured that now would be a great time to tell his story again. Lighthall Vineyards is a low-volume, high-quality, family owned and operated winery. They now have 16 acres planted which includes five acres each of Vidal, Chardonnay and Pinot noir. They also have one acre of GrĂźner Veltliner which will be coming online next year. The original owners Alice and Peter Mennacher planted the first eight acres, and built the drive shed. This shed still stands and is adorned by Peter's "Mucho Macho", a wood sculpture of a well-dressed man holding a glass of wine. This was created for Peter's yearly "Art of Wine" exposition at their gallery in South Bay. After purchasing the property in 2008, Symons expanded the vineyard plantings and built both the winery and a comfortable house for the seasonal vineyard workers. Symons explains that the winery was built in 2009 and finished just one month before their first harvest. The building itself is more industrial and utilitarian, in order to maximize efficiency and allows them to focus more directly on the wines. The tasting bar is inside the production area where visitors can enjoy the complete experience of the winery production environment. We now jump forward six years. Symons has been good friends with Heather Robertson for some time and when the opportunity for making cheese together arose in February this year, they jumped

in with both feet. He also explained that he needed an assistant with the winemaking, so the timing was perfect. So we now have a unique pairing in the county; a winemaker who is an assistant cheesemaker and a cheesemaker who is an assistant winemaker working together! Robertson’s background in cheese is very impressive. She has been a cheese monger for 14 years at several cheese retailers and her fromagers certification from George Brown is pending. She also has fromagers training from Canadian Artisan Cheese Guild as well as cheesemaking training with Peter Dixon in Vermont and Laura Todd in Prince Edward County. She has also held a cheesemaker position in the recent past. This dynamic duo currently makes its cheese in the commercial kitchen at Mystic Dandelion Bed & Breakfast (home of Sylvia Cambray and chef SÊbastien Schwab). They are currently building an addition at Lighthall Vineyards to have the cheese production on site and the estimated time for this completion is July. Since the 2014 vintage
Symons told me the vineyard uses only Prince Edward County fruit and the sheep's milk is from just north of Belleville. Their plan is that within five years they will have their own flock for a completely county wine and cheese experience. To my knowledge there are currently only three wineries in Canada making cheese commercially, and this is also the only one in Ontario (the other two being in British Columbia) so this is truly a unique endeavour. Symons and Robertson will be showcasing their wine and cheese products this weekend at the Great Canadian Cheese Festival at the Picton Fairgrounds (Crystal Palace). This festival is the fifth anniversary of the largest cheese show in Canada. Plan on attending to see them as well as sample some of the more than 150 outstanding Canadian artisan and farmstead cheeses from 30-plus Canadian cheesemakers coast to coast. This impressive list of vendors will also include winners and finalists in the 2015 Canadian Cheese Grand Prix. There will also be artisan foods, craft beers, a food court and of course a lot of awesome wine to pair with that cheese. In total, more than 500 different cheeses, foods and beverages will be offered! I hope to see you at the festival this weekend where I will be sippin' some great wine and pairing it with lots of wonderful cheese ... and I'm thinking I will start at Lighthall’s booth for a unique tasting experience! Joe Hache owns and operates an independent wine blog at www.princeedwardcountywineries.com. Regularly, he shares his experiences sipping at local wineries in the Gazette.

Jail N Bail brings in $6,000 for Legion Branch 78 Community members asked to bring in funds or spend time behind bars
The Regent Theatre will have a roaring ‘20s this Saturday night as it welcomes the 11-piece Wintergarten Orchestra. Well-known actor Ted Atherton and singer Tanya Wills front a group that includes a trumpetist, a woodwinds player, a percussionist, a pianist, a helicon player, a banjo and guitar player, and two violists as they play preswing era hits.
CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER
Jail was the place to be this weekend. At least it was for the duration of the Picton Legion's Jail N Bail fundraiser held on Saturday afternoon. The fundraiser brought in approximately $6,000. The day featured a barbecue, raffles, and draws, all in support of the Legion and its yearly initiatives, as well as live music from county band Long Reach. Accused residents were notified of their crimes via a summons and were forced to raise their bail money or else. Presiding over those accused was District F3 commander Buck Buchanan, who switched between the “good judge� fedora for the lighter offenders and the “bad judge� army helmet for the more hardened criminals. Of course, it was all done in fun with the crimes being of a dubious nature. One such offender — a canine criminal — was handed a summons for mooching cookies in the Legion. Such treachery earned the pooch a $100 fine.

The event raised approximately $6,000, which will support the Legion and its initiatives.(Chad Ibbotson/Gazette staff)
Legion past-president Ted Taylor said the Jail N Bail fundraiser was reintroduced last year and is one of four main summer events. “We send summons out to members and friends in the community, and businesses and they raise funds through their employees and other people,� he said. “They usually end up thrown in jail even if they have the money.�
Taylor said the event is one Legion members seem to enjoy. “It's a good fundraiser, people have a good time at it and that's what's important,� he said. The weather was perfect as the crowd gathered on the Legion lawn. Taylor said the funds raised would help the Legion pay the bills as well as commit donations to community organizations
such as the cadets. “It's a fun thing, kind of a kickoff to spring — it's been a long winter,� he said. “The weather is good, we're having a good time.� Legion first vice-president Diane Kennedy agreed. “Everybody gets a summons for one reason or another, something they did during the year, you know, you lost your shorts,� she laughed.
The orchestra, under the direction of Bill Beecroft, has played a regular gig at Toronto’s C’est What Bistro and it recently finished a one-night engagement at the Ritz-Carlton. Tickets for Saturday’s show are $29 or $25 each for groups of 10. To book, visit the Regent Theatre box office or call 613-476-8416. -Staff

HOSPITAL, from page 1
Councillor Treat Hull put forward the motion saying the reason it came forward was to show the level of municipal support for the project. “In his capacity as chair of the foundation, Leo Finnegan came back to the municipality and said I need some commitment in order to demonstrate there's a level of municipal support and that this thing will be feasible,” Hull said. Hull said while many questions about the new hospital can't be answered at this point, it's important for council to demonstrate their willingness to back the project. “The feedback I've had definitely is that if there's not a strong show of municipal support, the ministry won't invest its time, its staff time, nor will the LHIN.” Several councillors expressed concern about releasing funding to the project without confirmation the new hospital will be built. Among them was David Harrison. “I was on council back before amalgamation when there was a $2-million fundraising here through private (investment) as well as money from the corporation of the County,” he said. “(The hospitals) amalgamated and that money just vanished. It's very important, that whatever we do, we protect that money.” Ultimately, the letter of intent was supported. Itl will still have to be approved by council at their next meeting.
Finding those insects that are actually good for your garden
Gardeners are often concerned about the problems in their gardens — problems with insects, diseases and weeds. Beneficial insects are sometimes just accepted and ignored, but are more frequently misunderstood or unknown. Whilst I have designated them here as bugs, because insects is a specific term which excludes spiders for example, even the word ‘bugs’ does not cover it all. Most of you are aware that earthworms benefit your gardens. They accomplish this by eating decomposing organic materials found in the soil and excreting it on the surface providing nutrients for plants. They aerate our soils as well. If asked what else is helpful, lists would generally include spiders, ladybugs or lady beetles along with dragonflies. These are all noted for their ingestion of insects although some predators may not differentiate between supportive insects and destructive insects. I find that even when I know what I am looking for, it is easier to locate the insect that is the problem, e.g. eating holes in the leaves, rather than those that are part of the solution. For example hover flies that look like little bees only consume nectar in their adult stage. Their larval stage eats only aphids, a very selective predator. So if you recognized the adult stage it would not give you a clue as to what the larval stage looks like or what
ASK A MASTER GARDENER Sandra Goranson
it consumes. Also they are not the only predators that consumes aphids. In the past if the aphids were increasing on their choice of plant, whether ornamental, vegetable or fruit I would have sprayed both sides of the leaves with a hose to wash them off the plant. In my case it was usually my rose bushes. Now I would wait. If they are decreasing, perhaps one or more of the beneficial bugs is intervening and I can ignore them. It could be hover fly larvae, it could be lady beetles or others. Many of us who are finding Asian lady beetle in our homes need to remember that they assist their native cousins in our gardens. They should be ushered back there without killing them when
possible. Hover fly larvae only prey on aphids but other beneficial bugs that prey on aphids also prey on other bugs. For example lady beetles and their larvae also prey on other insect eggs, small soft-bodied insects such as mealy bugs, scales, small caterpillars and whitefly nymphs. Other predators that attack aphids are aphid midges, braconid wasps, other parasitic wasps, and lacewings. So the inhabitants of our gardens clearly have a very complex relationship. The more we interfere with it the less likely it is to operate effectively. It can often be difficult to identify all of the helpful insects let alone the various stages they go through during their development. Fortunately there is a ban on pesticides for the home garden as beneficial insects can be killed along with those viewed as destructive by the home gardener, either by coming into direct contact with the pesticide or from eating the insects that the pesticide was intended for. For those who do want to get to know these beneficial bugs there are both web sites and books that will provide information on what they do and how they do it, as well as providing pictures of the various stages each goes through. Because I have been a longtime fan of Rodale, an organization that supports organic gardening, I checked out their website first. They have a list of 10 beneficial insects for the
garden all found across North America. Some of those not mentioned earlier are soldier beetle, spined soldier bug, ground beetle, minute pirate bug and tachnid fly. This is not meant as an exclusive list simply the most prominent in Rodale’s view. These are their common names and while some have a relationship to their role in the garden, some are descriptive of the bug itself and still others may relate to the person who first catalogued them. If your interest or time is limited it may be preferable for you to focus on maintaining a garden that supports beneficial insects rather than learning to identify the insects themselves and their various stages. Here is a list of the plants that would best support these beneficial insects. Fortunately the selected plants are similar for more than one insect. Herbs are on many of the insect preferred lists. This includes herbs such as dill, thyme, parsley, coriander, angelica, fennel and edible mints as well as those designated as catmints. Some of the flower preferences are yarrow, alyssum, calendula, coreopsis, Shasta daisies, black-eyed Susan and golden rod. Perennials provide stability and shelter for some insects. Others like pollen and nectar flowers. All like access to water, so shallow dishes with stones and water in them are supportive. There are always tough
years in the garden including those with a proliferation of harmful bugs. Remedies should focus on doing the least damage to those that are beneficial. That would include the careful removal of harmful insects by hand picking (fine latex gloves that are available by the box in pharmacies can make this easier), spraying with water after checking for those that are beneficial or other remedies such as coffee grounds around the base of plants as they are all among the recommended tactics. Look for those tactics that are recommend for your particular pest. So enjoy the activity in your garden and, except for an occasional bad year, there should be more beneficial contributions than otherwise. Even weeds can contribute, except when they overrun the garden. All you need to keep track of are the villains and only when they are taking over. A good book on weeds, diseases and insects or the equivalent on the web will help you when the beneficial members in your garden are losing out. Otherwise maintain a diverse garden with the variety that keeps one pest, or villain if you prefer the term, from running the show. Sit back, relax and let the good guys do the work.

The Picton Gazette moderate and you can keep the new seeds quite moist at all times. While grass seed can be applied in the summer, it is more challenging to get the seeds to take root and thrive at this time, as water is more likely to evaporate under the hot sun. Also, many weeds germinate in the heat of summer. As a result, the weeds can infiltrate areas of the lawn where you planted, compromising the look of your lawn. The process of reseeding and fertilizing your lawn is relatively similar if you decide to do so in late spring or early fall. • Rake the parts of the lawn you plan to seed and remove any debris or rocks. • Apply fertilizer to the cleared planting area. Use a rake or tiller to break up the soil and distribute the fertilizer to a depth of roughly two to four inches.

seeds have started to grow, apply another round of fertilizer to replenish the top layer of soil with nutrients that may have washed away from the constant watering. Homeowners can employ a similar process to overseed a lawn in the hopes of producing a thicker, more attractive landscape. Any thatch and debris should be raked away, and the top layer of the lawn surface can be gently aerated. Top dress the lawn with a very thin layer of new soil and compost. Broadcast the seed over the prepared lawn and lightly rake the new seeds to help them settle into the soil. Apply fertilizer and water the lawn frequently to keep the new seeds moist. Once the seed has established itself, you can water the lawn for longer periods and less frequently to help develop strong roots. Wait for the lawn to reach a height of three to four inches before the first cut of the season. Many homeowners like to take on the challenge of seeding and preparing their lawns. But some may find the task is best left to the professionals. - MCC

causes the newly applied fertilizer to run off. • Begin to sow the grass seed according to the rate indicated on the seed bag for the type of grass you will be growing. Choose a grass seed that will thrive in your climate. Certain seeds are more tolerant of drought and sunlight, while other species are better for shady areas or damper climates. Again, if you have any questions, consult with a lawn and garden center. • Spread the seed with a broadcast spreader. Some lawn experts recommend spreading the seed in parallel rows and then repeating the process again in rows set at a right angle to the first series of rows for the best chances of seed coverage. The seeds then can be raked into the soil, covered with a little more soil and patted down. • Water to keep the seeds damp. This may require watering twice or more per day until the seeds begin to germinate. Covering the seeds with about 1⁄4 inch of straw also can help keep the seeds moist, deter seed scavengers and prevent soil erosion. Remove the straw once the grass begins to grow. • Roughly four weeks after the

Cherry Valley rider spending summer on Orangeville ranch to further eventing career
White receives OHTA’s Heather Wellman bursary, trains with Olympian ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER
This summer Nathalie White is taking a big step that she hopes will put her closer to one day riding in an Olympic eventing competition for Canada. The 17-year-old Cherry Valley native has moved to Orangeville, where she’ll be working as a student on Cranmore Farm with Penny Rowland, who represented Canada at the 2002 Olympic Games in Barcelona, Spain. “I’ve been doing eventing for 10 years and this is definitely the biggest step, living away from home with Penny,” White said. “She’s been a huge influence on me, she’s an amazing coach. I’ve already learned a lot about being a better rider and just how to be with the horse.” White traveled to Ocala, Florida where Rowland trains each winter to train. While she was there, she impressed her coach with her passion for the sport and her abilities. They made arrangements for White to continue her tutelage this
summer. Each day, White says she wakes up, starts chores at 7;30 and continues until about 10.Typically, she then has several horses she must ride during the afternoon. While she rides, she receives lessons from Rowland that will help her with eventing, a sort of triathlon that involves dressage sequences, cross-country equestrian, and show jumping. Since returning to Canada, White has been riding two horses in competition. Her own horse, In The Moment, which she knows better as Cadence is younger and is competing at the training level. She also leases Rowland’s Northwind’s Breeze (or Breezie), a more experienced high-level horse, which is competing at the preliminary level — a full two levels higher than White previously competed at. Thus far, she’s had success. Northland’s Breeze captured third-place and fourth-place finishes, while Cadence was fourth in its category.

Panthers blank Chargers in league final PECI advances to OFSAA for fourth time in five seasons ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER
The PECI Baseball Panthers didn't waste any time getting ahead of the Centennial Chargers last Wednesday to earn their fourth Bay of Quinte Conference championship in five years. The Panthers' leadoff hitter Phil Seguin reached base on a single and moved to second base on an overthrow. He'd then steal third and score on second batter Gavin Ronan's single. Ronan also scored on a Bob Wilson single as the Panthers got two runs early on their way to a 10-0 rout. Coach Matt Ronan said the Panthers wanted to get out to an early lead as the Chargers had one of the pre-eminent pitchers they'd face this year in Ben Popovich. They reasoned if they could get ahead of him early, it would make it difficult for the Chargers to find their way back. "We did the little things necessary to beat this team. We beat them in the first inning and they knew that," said Ronan. "You bear down on a good pitcher and that's exactly what we did." Following an unexpectedly tight 4-3 win in the semifinals over St. Theresa, Ronan said the Panthers made a checklist of what they needed to bring to the field to compete and to prepare for their goal of reaching OFSAA this week with an eye on contending. "We talked about 'we win when" scenarios. We win when we run everything out. We win when we play with confidence and focus, not arrogance and image. These are the things we focused on," he said. "We ran everything out and a couple mistakes were made. We did those small things. In a close game, the team that executes and does those things is going to be successful. If they're going to give us five outs, we're going to get some runs." Defensively, the Panthers didn't have to be as sharp. Starting pitcher Bob Wilson allowed just three hits and

never allowed a runner past second base through four innings. He only struck out two batters, but got Chargers to hit balls his fielders could handle. "Bob's always good. Even if he doesn't have his best stuff, he'll put the ball into play and we can get the outs. He was lights out today and we didn't have to do much on the field," said shortstop Kyle Gould. Ronan agreed, calling Wilson a warrior. "Bobby is the type of kid, who, if he needs to beat you and tear off his arm to do it, he'd beat you with his other arm. That's the type of kid he is. There's no fluff about it." Meanwhile, Popovich settled nicely into the game, forcing the Panthers to sit on that narrow lead until the final out of his four-inning effort. Max Manlow got the offence started again with a single to centre, then Ryan Kelly walked. Phil Seguin stepped to the

plate with a double up the middle to score both runners. Beyond that inning, teams charted vastly different courses. In the fifth, the Panthers exploded for five runs on five hits, the effort capped by a two-run single by Manlow. The Panthers seemed to run at will and feast on the Centennial bullpen. They followed it up by forcing the 10-run mercy rule as Seguin tripled, then Kyle Gould knocked his pinch runner Matt Dobson in with a single. Gavin Ronan came on in relief for the home side. He managed to strike out three Chargers in the top of the fifth inning, then got out of the sixth unscathed after giving up a walk to start the inning. Going into OFSAA play, the Panthers appear to have found their confidence again. Alumnus Chris Norman returned as a coach this week and he's worked on the team's focus at the plate. The bats are
coming along, Gould said. "We're all seeing our pitches now, we're out of slumps, and we're hitting." Ronan also says the team's depth has him feeling confident about the games ahead. "Gavin did what I was hoping for. When you have him throwing on top of (Andrew Dayton), Wilson, Gould, Dryden Norton, Max Manlow, and Kevin Wilson that's a lot of guys you can turn to. It's a nice feeling," Ronan said. "We have 21 guys on the roster. There was a Grade 10 (Dan Seguin) who started at catcher and I felt very confident having him there. Dryden Norton is a Grade 10 who pitched the final three innings of a tight game. I have a whole lot of confidence in them. These guys aren't even on the starting line and they came through."

Pirates recognize 2014-2015 leaders, start building for upcoming campaign Bunnett big winner at banquet, hopefuls look to impress on ice CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER
The Picton Pirates ushered in a new season while celebrating the end of another over the weekend. On Saturday the club gathered a pool of prospects and returning players at the Quinte Sports and Wellness Centre for its annual spring camp before celebrating the standout performers of last season with their annual awards banquet on Sunday. Pirates director of hockey operations and interim general manager Adam Bull said there was a solid group of talent on the ice on Saturday. “We had a good turnout with around 45 players attending camp,” he said. “There was a great deal of talent at camp, quite a few players who stood out and really showed potential.” The club will have some big spaces to fill with veteran leaders Brian Bunnett and Chris Jones both completing their final year of junior eligibility last season. Bull said there's always some turnover and the Pirates will continue to look to add talent. “Every year there is always a turnaround. Kids go off to school, move on to higher levels of hockey, and you lose

your over age players, so every year you expect to fill some spots,” he said. “As for numbers it's going to depend on who goes to school this year — we have a few spots to fill with our OAs, defencemen, and forwards. You never stop looking for players whether its for a roster spot or APs.” Bull said there were a couple of local kids who stood out at camp and the club will be contacting for main camp in August. He said overall the club is happy with how things came together for spring camp. “The kids really showed what they are capable of and we look forward to having some of them back in August in hopes of cracking the lineup,” he said. On Sunday, the club shifted focus from the upcoming
season toward honouring last season's best. Bull said it was great to have the team back for the banquet as it gave players a last chance to say goodbye before moving on to either school or work lives. Bull said it's never easy picking the winners. “You wish you could give one to all the players but you have to choose someone and I think Ryan (Woodward) and his staff did a great job picking the winners,” he said. Picton captain Bunnett was the big winner on Sunday, taking leading scorer, most valuable player (shared with Jones), and playoff most valuable player honours. “What can be said about Brian that has not been said before, his on-ice play speaks for itself — he was the
league's best players,” said Bull. “Players like Brian are very rare at this level, they come a long once in a lifetime.” He said Bunnett is a person younger guys look up to and has been a model player for the organization. “Brian has been outstanding for our organization both on and off the ice and we will surely miss him and we wish him all the best moving forward with his career,” Bull said. Bull said players like Phil Smith, Mitchell Merry, and Austin Labelle made an immediate impact when joining the club last season. He said Smith brought Junior B experience, Merry is one of the best defensive forwards in the league, and Labelle is a hardworking rookie who
played like a veteran last season. Bull noted Jones seemed to fit right in after coming to the Pirates in the 2013-2014 season. “Since then he has been one of our leaders and go-to guys,” he said. “He played big minutes and even played hurt, it speak volumes of just who Chris is. He will be missed and we wish him all the best.” The 2014-2015 Pirates award winners were: Austin Labelle, Walter E. Norton Memorial rookie of the year award; Devin McCann, Bill Ogden Memorial best defenceman award; Phil Smith, Bill Strachan Memorial Award for sportsmanship; Noah Sager, Wayne Lindsey Memorial Award for most improved player; Nick Kazmierczak, Tom O'Halloran Memorial Award for top goaltender; Brian Bunnett, Bobby Hull Award for top scorer; Brian Bunnett and Chris Jones, Lionel F.

High-scoring Eagles clip Kingston in pair of lopsided early-season wins JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER
A local rep soccer team has its Southeastern Ontario Soccer Association campaign underway in dominating fashion. The Under-14 PRZ Paintball PECSA Eagles blasted the Kingston Clippers in a pair of home games at the PECI pitch in recent weeks, outscoring the opponents a combined 28-2 and leaving the contingent of players that have played in the competitive loop for the past three seasons in top spot in the loop that includes teams from Trenton to Brockville. So far strikers Bailey Mar-
acle (eight goals), Joey Monroe (six) and Lucas Cadieux (five) have had little trouble finding the net to pace the Eagles offence. Midfielders Caleb Wooley (four), striker Callum MacDonald (two) and midfielder Anthony Lawrence, Gabriel Goad and Jack MacCool have also found the range. Goaltender Keegan Makpah rejoins the club after a year off and has already posted his first clean sheet of the campaign. The Eagles next home game it Monday, June 8 when they host Kingston United.Kickoff is at 6:30 p.m.
Roth noted the contributions of organizations like Rotary and businesses like Coco Paving, Wentworth Landscaping, and the Bloomfield Bicycle Company, who each helped make the event a success. “Bloomfield Bicycle Company have been awesome,” she said. “They did 30 bike inspections yesterday alone at their shop.” Adam Stibbards of Lakefield, Ont. was on the sidelines cheering on his daughter Lily at Sunday's event. “She and my older daughter as well have been doing triathlons for six or eight years,” he said. He said the girls are now members of the Peterborough Pirates Triathlon Club and love the sport. “They love the training

She’s hoping to bring Cadence up to the preliminary level this year and possibly qualify this fall for the North American Junior and Young Rider Competition in Kentucky with her horse next summer. White says a very select team of riders from Canada receive their qualification to compete in the event, which is a stepping stone to higher competition. “I’m hoping to qualify this fall to compete next summer,” she said. Last month, White also found out she’d have some
more help to continue her development on a plane toward Olympic competition in eight years. She was named the recipient of the Ontario Horse Trials Association’s Heather Wellman Youth Bursary for a promising young competition. The bursary will allow her two complimentary entries to non-championship competitions in Ontario, entries in the EC Clinc Series with high-level instructors and riders, and an additional $500 cash bursary. White says she continues to enjoy her sport as she still gets a thrill, just as she did when she started out at Harper Run Stables in Demor-
Willis lone Panther bound for OFSAA track JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER
It's down to one for the PECI track-and field team. Just one Panther made it through the gauntlet of Eastern Ontario's elite talent at Brockville last week at the East Regionals Track and Field Championships. Grade 10 athlete Vanessa Willis, competing in the junior shot put event, finished fourth is a distance of 10.85 m and will be the school's lone representative when North America's largest track-and-field event gets underway tomorrow at the University of Toronto. Coach Bob Bell said Willis was working to refine her delivery and generate more power at her release point. “Looking at her distance, Shes got a shot to finish in the top five but we need to refine her technique a little bit and generate some speed,” Bell explained. “That seems to be problematic with my female throwers this season, generating force and speed on the release.” Willis was the only one of the handful of PECI hopefuls that managed to qualify for the Ontario championships but a number of the first and second year Panthers gained some valuable experience. “Competing at this level takes a lot of dedication and I think a number of them got their eyes opened up,” Bell added. “There's obviously nerves that come into play as well but hopefully they grow from this and come back next season with focus and drive.”
said it's always an enjoyable experience. “It's terrific, it's always really well run,” he said. “It's very well organized, everything goes off on time.” He said the event also boast a great atmosphere where all the kids are cheered on by race officials and those in attendance. The top three finishers in each age group were, from first to third: Ages 6–7, Caleb Wilson, Ainsley Phillips, and Kaden Koutroulides; ages 8–9, Logan Garside, Samantha Garside, and Liam Philip; ages 10– 11, Nadiya Linde-Elmhirst, Julia Cossarin, and Skye Crouzat; ages 12–13, Hunter Scholey, Anna Harris, and Madison Walsh; ages 14–15, Aaron Poirier, Liam O'Connor, and Matthew Cottam. Kim Pothier was the only entrant in BASEBALL, from page 18 A fifth-year vet, Gould said the 16–17 age group. even with the challenge of fitting that many bodies into the team dynamic, this group of Panthers is one of the best estville. “It’s partly the adrenaline teams he's played on.

cZeMPinsKi, Marjorie
Marjorie Brzoza-Czempinski (nee Huskisson) passed away peacefully at Roseview Manor, Thunder Bay, Ontario on Tuesday May 16, 2015 at 93 years of age, with her daughter by her side. Formerly of Iroquois Falls, ON, Marjorie (Madge) moved to Thunder Bay in 2009 to be closer to family. Madge was born in Leverton, Lincolnshire County, England on February 18, 1922 and was the eldest of Frank and Edith Huskisson’s three children. The Huskisson family immigrated to Canada in 1929 and lived in Saskatchewan briefly before settling in Ontario to farm in Prince Edward County. Although Madge lived in Northern Ontario most of her adult life, ‘the County’ was always near to her heart. Madge completed high school in Picton and attended teacher training at Norwood, ON. With an enthusiasm for history and English literature, Madge studied at Queen’s University (BA, ‘50). It was at Queen’s that Madge became a varsity athlete in archery, and met Andy, WWII veteran of the Polish Army, and university student who became the love of her life. Madge and Andy married in 1951 and together shared 46 years of marriage until Andy’s passing in 1998. Both before and after her university days Madge was an elementary and secondary school teacher. An extremely intelligent woman and an independent thinker; Madge had many interests and informed herself thoroughly on each. She was a dedicated gardener, an avid reader and book club member, an excellent hostess, an outstanding cook and a keen stamp collector. Prior to retirement, Madge and Andy with the help of several close friends built their ‘A frame’ cottage on Watabeag Lake where they spent many pleasant times throughout the years. Madge always enjoyed visiting her grand- daughters and followed their many activities. She had a soft spot for animals and enjoyed her feline rescue companion Josephine.

Mulridge can often be seen around school with her sketchbook in hand. That said, she’s also proven she’s a well-rounded artist. At the recent PECI arts symposium, she spent time busking with her guitar in the hallways. She’s also appeared in theatrical productions at the school and served as a dedicated member of the PECI arts council. Mary Tucker, PECAC’s arts chair said Mulridge knows that a career in art will be hard work with ups and downs. She said according to her teachers, Mulridge is a motivated, talented student who displays exemplary artistic ability. PECAC also handed out a volunteer recognition award and two business recognition awards. Myrna Mather has been a longtime director with PECAC, serving for over a decade in various capacities, including vice-chair, directorat-large, and Artscene newsletter editor. Mather actually created PECAC’s newsletter by
producing an online calendar of arts events that eventually became Artscene. Her work with the management of the organization included the development of the office administrator’s job description and troubleshooting web site issues. Externally, she was an active proponent of the arts, sitting on the Tourism Development Alliance Committee and the former Cultural Roundtable. She was a face of fundraising for the arts council and initiated the “old treasures” auction. Her citation listed her “ability to listen, problem solve, be a team playter, and respond in a genuine, straight forward manner” as characteristics that made her an invaluable member of PECAC and a worthy recipient of the award. Creative duo Andrew Csafordi and Tara Wilkinson were one of the businesses recognized. The owners of the Andrew Csafordi Studio Gallery and Love Nest Studio

Join Ontario’s farm and food communities for the celebration Celebrating Local Food Week June 1-7, 2015
In honour of Ontario’s second annual Local Food Week, Farm & Food Care Ontario invites you to join Ontario farmers and food partners in the celebration. Proclaimed under the Local Food Act, the first week of June marks the annual celebration of Local Food Week in Ontario. This year, the week-long celebration is set for June 1-7, with farmers, farm organizations, agribusinesses and government partners hosting events across the province. Local Food Week gives Ontarians a chance to put a spotlight on the wide variety of local foods and beverages available year-round. Throughout the week, we’ll celebrate those who grow, produce, harvest, buy and sell it. We are fortunate to have access to a wide variety of local fruits, vegetables, grains, meats, eggs, dairy products, processed foods, honey and maple syrup that are readily available and grown or produced close to home. Whether at roadside farm stands and farm markets during the summer or at food retailers throughout the year, buying local has never been easier or more delicious. Local Food Week is an excellent way to bring together the farmers who produce our food, the retailers who sell it, the restaurants who prepare it and those who enjoy it every day. Here are a variety of ways you can join the Local Food Week celebrations: • Host your own local food feast or barbecue with friends and family, with an entirely locally-sourced menu; • On June 3 at 8pm ET, join the #loveONTfood Twitter party with farmers and foodies and celebrate all of Ontario’s great foods and beverages; • Share your love of local food on social media using the #loveONTfood hashtag; • Support your local farmers by choosing Ontario products all year long; • Tour a farm virtually or find out more about how your food is produced by visiting www.farmfoodcare.org; • Visit www.loveontfood.ca for great resources and ideas on how to join in on the Local Food celebrations. Farm & Food Care Ontario is a coalition of farmers, agriculture and food partners working together to ensure public trust and confidence in food and farming. Farm & Food Care provides a coordinated approach and credible information on food and farming in Ontario. To learn more about Farm & Food Care Ontario or to support the organization’s efforts visit www.farmfoodcare.org.

Nine reports of roadside dumping County receives nearly as many reports as in entire 2014 year ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

Pasternak, Baxter Centre recognized Two county recipients among Quinte Arts Council award winners ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER
When the Quinte Arts Council (QAC) hands out its annual Arts Recognition Awards June 25, a longtime creative voice and a recent community catalyst from Prince Edward County will be recipients. The QAC has included South Marysburgh singersongwriter and storyteller Suzanne Pasternak and Bloomfield’s Baxter Arts Centre among the six selections in the 21st year for the prize. “Their credentials are outstanding,” said QAC executive director Carol Feeney. “When you look at Suzanne Pasternak, she has an impressive breadth of work. She’s done documentaries and she’s done musicals. I was surprised she hadn’t been recognized earlier. And at the Baxter Centre, the volunteers have worked diligently to put something together to provide artistic opportunities for the whole family.” Pasternak is best known for her telling the stories of Prince Edward County’s maritime history through musical theatre. Her folk opera Minerva tells of a daring rescue on Lake Ontario in the middle of an 1882 snowstorm. She also co-wrote Ship of Fire, a tale of tragedy aboard the sinking Ocean Wave in 1853. More recently, Pasternak put together a documentary film called Vanishing Legacies, which follows the commercial fishery on the county’s south shore from Loyalist settlement to recent years — a piece she’s described as the culmination of her research from 1983 to 2013. Pasternak is preparing for the inaugural Prince Edward County Storytelling Festival, where she will serve as producer and creative director. She is also working with Tom Leighton and Mark Despault on a choral piece detailing the City of Boston coming to the aid of Halifax following an explosion in 1917. The American city dispatched doctors, soldiers and personnel in a winter storm to offer assistance. The piece is to be performed at Boston’s Christmas tree lighting this year.
SUZANNE PASTERNAK
While Pasternak and four of the other nominees are talented individual artists, the Baxter Arts Centre is the one collective being recognized this year. Bloomfield native and the curator of Belleville’s Parrott Gallery, Susan Holland, was involved with the project in its early stages in 2010. She decided the centre was worthy of a nomination. “There are a few different reasons,” she said. “To see a surplus building being used to sustain a creative centre is inspiring to me and I saw the blood, sweat, and tears that Larry Spencer and his group shed in making it happen. Also, every time I drive home, people are using it. The buzz around the community about it is good. It simply needed to be recognized for a job well done.” Holland said the active centre today is fulfilling the vision artists had when they walked into the old Baxter Canning Factor lunch room — a site very much in need of thorough renovations — and she says the potential is limitless. The space has been gutted and reworked and with a fair amount of community input, it’s been filled with a range of programs including dance, drama, music, visual arts, film, and even holistic health. It’s also become a reasonably priced meeting centre for many local groups. “The existence of the centre encourages all of us to explore our creativity and to access exposure to the arts in a comfortable and welcoming place, which will continue to grow and enrich lives for many years to come,” she said. Holland had two support-
ers for her nomination. One was a community member who had been there in the early stages and expressed what the centre had done for his child. Another was a local artist who had taught classes and taken classes within the space. Board chair Rob Leek said those behind the arts centre were surprised, but encouraged by the news. “We had no idea the Quinte Arts Council was considering us for an award. For us, it’s pretty gratifying. It’s a recognition of how far we’ve come since 2010.” Leek said it has been encouraging to see the community rally around the facility and fill a calendar, which now features program for adults and children. There are open studio drawing sessions, yoga courses, coffee houses, and silent movies. Integrated arts programs and summer camps are also hallmarks of the schedule. He added fellow board member Peta Hall has done a nice job working with the centre’s users to put that schedule in place and ensure the centre is always busy. Hall said it has been easy because the community has been supportive and involved throughout. It raised money to refurbish the hall and kitchen and to buy needed items like chairs. Members of the public have also had an active role to play in the dayto-day programming. “We’ve had really big county support,” she said. “We’re constantly asking what courses people would like to have. We have an advisory council and parents of young children and business people give us input, so this has really become a community arts centre.” The awards will be handed out at Belleville’s Mayor’s Luncheon For The Arts at the Greek Hall on Harder Drive at 11:30 a.m. A three-course meal will be served and The Starpainters will provide entertainment. Tickets are $35 and are available by calling 613-962-1232. Leek also said the Baxter Arts Centre may consider a celebration of its own. “Stay tuned,” he said.
The Second Time Around Shop isn’t the only place people are dumping garbage this spring. As of May 27, the County received nine reports of roadside dumping in 2015 to date, just one fewer than reported throughout 2014. Acting chief administrative officer James Hepburn says that’s more reports than the municipality received during the first half of the year than either of past two years, but statistically it doesn’t appear alarming. “I don’t know that given the low number of total instances that it (2015) being a worse year can be inferred.” Hepburn said in 2013 there were seven reports with none coming in the second half of the year. In 2014, seven of the reports came in the latter six months. Hepburn told the Gazette the County has not identified any roads as particular problem as a result of the reports filed, but noted it does pay attention to where the incidents are occurring. "Significant incidents are sporadic and take place in different locations," he said. "If an incident is significant, our operations department has also started notifying the
TRASH A used mattress, garbage bags, boxes, and yard waste have sat alongside Airport Road in recent weeks, less than 20 metres from a sign warning of fines of up to $3,000 for littering. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)
police to ensure the incident is recorded." He added the incidents that had been reported haven't had a taxing effect on municipal budgets or staffing. "While staff are occasionally dispatched for the purpose of picking up roadside garbage, this doesn't occur enough to drive us over budget," he said. "Operations staff are directed to pick up roadside garbage as necessary during their regular operations, such as roadside brush maintenance. Several truckloads of litter have been collected this way." That said, some seldomtraveled roads do appear to be regular targets for dumping. John Blake, a Mowbray Road resident, says he often sees bags or garbage, yard waste, and discarded household items sitting along the side of
nearby Airport Road. "It's been an ongoing problem for a number of years now," he said. Blake said he's concerned that people would dump trash along the roadside and said it isn't just an eyesore for the local residents who use roads like Airport, it can also leave a lasting impression on tourists and people who might be looking to settle in the community. "We live and die by the tourist industry and people aren't going to get a good impression," he said, adding Airport Road is often used as a detour on the weekend of the Prince Edward County marathon. Asked about how people might be deterred from dumping, Blake indicated he doesn't believe there's any one magic bullet, but education could be a factor in eliminating some of the dumping taking place. "I think we need to educate people better about their civic responsibility while they're still young," he said. He also said in the case of Airport Road, the dumping may be coming from people who took waste to the Church Street landfill. It doesn't accept leaves or yard waste, so some people might have just looked to shed their load, rather than driving to Old Milford Road. Blake suggested maybe the county could do a better job advertising what its landfills do accept and their hours of operation.

The staff at Prince Edward Learning Centre (PELC) has gained a few kernels of knowledge helping adults to learn. They know that engaged, supported individuals have greater success in literacy and in finding employment. To that end, they convinced the Prince Edward County Awesome Foundation to give them $1,000 to work with some different kernels to help the cause. Their PELC Pops! project involves the purchase of a portable popcorn stand, uniforms, and supplies that students can take to community events to gain transferable skills like customer service, money handling, ordering and budgeting, and workplace safety. Educator Lori Farrington made the pitch with two current PELC students, Ashley McInnis and Taylor Lott, who have overcome hurdles to return to the classroom and try to change their lives. “When you invest in someone, you’re really saying ‘I believe in you.’ You are instilling in them a sense of hope,” Farrington told the Awesome Foundation. “However, as awesome as Prince Edward County is,

there are people who desperately need some help believing and achieving their own possibilities. We want you to help engage the unengaged.” She noted that the 2013 County Community Foundation Vital Signs report suggested people aged 2564 with no certificate, degree, or diploma in the county is 40 per cent higher than the provincial average. Engagement is a way to change that. Students at PELC have volunteered for events like the Sandbanks New Waves Festival, the Firelight Lantern Festival, Prince Edward Community Theatre’s production of The Drawer Boy, and Pecha
Kucha nights. They felt a positive connection to the community and that led to more volunteering, co-op placements, and successful employment. PELC’s application shared a case study of a woman who suffered severe depression. She received comforting training with her supervisors. She raised funds and awareness for her school and she started to feel good about herself. All the while, she’s gained skills and gained credits toward her graduation. She needed a nurturing involved environment to do that, however. That doesn’t always come with community placements.

Little Free Libraries on the horizon Movement encourages book sharing in non-traditional spaces JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER
sudoku Metro Creative Graphics LAST WEEK’S ANSWER
Despite not winning the Prince Edward County Awesome Foundation's most recent pitch party grant, a Cherry Valley bed-and-breakfast operator is hoping to forge ahead with an idea that has gained traction all over North America. Allison Kelly promoted the Little Free Library (LFL) movement for Prince Edward County and has already had a number of interested supporters and donors step forward to attempt to bring the idea here. Little Free Libraries started out in Wisconsin where Todd Bol built a model of a one room schoolhouse as a tribute to his mother, a former school teacher who loved reading. Filling it with books and placing it on a post in his front yard, friends and neighbours soon began to share books and contribute to the collection. The movement eventually went viral across North America and the world, attracting Kelly's attention and inspired her to purpose a local little library initiative at last week's Awesome Foundation. Ultimately, the Prince Edward Learning Foundation

won with a mobile popcorn stand that will serve as a small-scale, portable and selfsustaining training site for local students mentoring, job coaching, and support in order to learn the skills necessary to attend school and find meaningful employment. Kelly completely agreed with decision to award PELC the $1,000 grant but found herself approached by people that were intrigued by her pitch and wanted to support an LFL movement in Prince Edward County. “It was such a positive response afterwards from people that are really interested,” Kelly told the Gazette Monday. “We've started a Facebook page (Little Free Library PEC) and we've
already got five locations to place these mini libraries.” The LFL movement comes with a host of guidelines and suggestions for operation and essentially works on the honour system. For the cost of $40, an LFL is registered with the parent non-profit corporation that supplies some books and adds the location to the group's worldwide map. The funding also goes toward the LFL mission of promote literacy and the love of reading by building free book exchanges worldwide and to build a sense of community by sharing skills, creativity and wisdom across generations.

Ten visitors per day in Napanee LIBRARY, from page 26
Currently, the closest LFL to Prince Edward County is located in Napanee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's been in place for a year and they average about 10 visitors a day,â&#x20AC;? Kelly added. As for the 'Habitat for the Humanities' or the 'Houses of Stories' themselves, the book boxes can be as unique or as formulaic as organizers wish. Kelly said she's seen one that was a repurposed phone booth while others are smaller and look like ornate bird houses placed in outdoor or indoor locations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It';s however it fits into the location. You can build them into current infrastructure, you can make them them uniform to create a brand or make them unique to each location,â&#x20AC;? Kelly explained. Once built, each LFL
would feature a wide variety of literary offerings but she hopes local authors would populate the selections as well as non-fiction works about local history and geography. Some LFL's also have voluntary lending log books that offer one or two sentence reviews on the books by each borrower. Books and locations could be the easy part. The boxes, on the other hand, could be a challenge. Kelly is looking to create a network of supporters that could help build the boxes and/or sponsor them with materials or donate to the effort.

Dress to impress The entryway to a home is the first thing visitors will see. Be sure the front door and entryway are in good repair. A pop of color can’t hurt, either. If you do not like the idea of painting the door a vivid hue, dress it up with a colorful wreath or another decorative accent. Carry your interior design style to the outdoors as well. Welcoming accents, such as cushioned chairs or potted plants, also add curb appeal. Con-
sider painting house numbers on a terracotta pot and filling it with plants. The pot will be decorative and functional.
Rely on symmetry Symmetry is pleasing to the eye and easy to arrange. Use it to frame your entryway and throughout your property. Symmetrical use of lighting fixtures, plants, trees, and decorative items really can have an impact.
Don’t forget lighting Outdoor lighting adds appeal and safety to a property. Use lighting to accent a special landscaping feature or to illuminate a walkway. Few people enjoy approaching a dark home, and outdoor lighting can ensure your property always is well-lit. Remember, curb appeal is applicable both day and night. Improving on curb appeal can make a difference in how others view your home. - MCC

A messy, untamed front yard can detract from a perfectly acceptable home. Cleaning up your yard and home’s exterior is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to give the place a makeover. Cut back overgrown shrubs, plants and trees. Make sure the front door is clearly visible and that any walkways are edged and accessible. Store garbage pails behind a barrier and keep trash
out of sight. Store children’s toys in the backyard rather than strewn across the front lawn. These simple steps can improve curb appeal instantly.
