Committee of the whole has approved a motion calling for a moratorium on neonicotinoid insecticides use. While the motion will still have to be approved by council at their May 27 regular meeting, councillors voted 9–6 in favour of the motion calling on both the provincial and federal governments to impose a moratorium on neonicotinoid use while further studies on their affect on bees and other pollinators are completed. The motion comes after council heard from a group of county residents calling themselves Bee Active earlier this year. A similar moratorium is already in place in Europe. The motion approved last Thursday says agriculture is the foundation of the municipality and the County is committed to policy decisions that promote the health of citizens

and the viability of the farming community. It says bee health is a serious issue

cotinoid present a growing danger and play a role in the reduction of bee and butterfly populations. The motion says council supports Health Canada's requirements around the use of neonicotinoids — usually used on corn and soybean seed — and urges farmers to follow them and use the new seed lubricants available when planting seed treated with neonicotinoids. The motion also calls for farmers to use untreated seed wherever possible and calls for seed providers to make untreated seed readily available. Additionally, the motion calls for the county to show leadership by investing the use of the insecticides on municipal property and discontinuing their use by the end of 2014, and calls for the municipality to consider planting bee and butterfly friendly spaces on appropriate County property.

A new Ontario Provincial Police billing model could bring higher policing costs to Prince Edward County, but Mayor Peter Mertens said it's better than the alternatives presented. The mayor provided a verbal update on proposed changes to the OPP billing model at last Thursday’s committee-of-the-whole meeting Mertens said even with the provincial election this year he believes the new billing model will be introduced Jan. 1, 2015. The Association of Municipalities Ontario (AMO) formed the OPP billing steering committee to address the disparity of OPP costs throughout the 324 municipalities which employ the service across the province. “In the province right now there are municipalities who pay less than $100 per household and there are municipalities that pay $800 per household,” Mertens said. “Ultimately, the province has a pot of money they want to make up as far as their budget, so they're looking for a fairer way to assign costs.” The committee has reviewed the proposed billing model and evaluated other alternatives since last fall. The executive summary of the committee's final report, released on April 10, says a 2012 auditor general report noted that the OPP billing for municipalities was complex and lacked transparency, as well as noting a large disparity between billing costs in different municipalities. The OPP responded by proposing a billing model that uses a base charge and a fee for calls for service. The report notes that the ratio between base costs and calls for service are currently at 60 per cent base and 40 per cent calls for service. The model determines base costs on a per-household basis.

Thompson sees more restrictions to come Mayor sees challenges in local force

BAN, from page 1

If approved, motion would be circulated to the prime minister, federal minister of agriculture, the federal health minister, Prince EdwardHastings MP Daryl Kramp, the Ontario premier, Ontario agriculture minister and the Prince Edward-Hastings MPP, as well as opposition leaders immediately after the provincial election. Councillor Alec Lunn was among those calling for the moratorium. “I just think it's very important that we really strengthen this,” he said. “…This isn't going to happen overnight. If we send a letter to the province they're not going to bring a moratorium tomorrow. They're going to think about it and realize we're taking this very seriously — and we need to.” He said Lunn has to make sure the province knows the municipality is serious about the issue and calling for a moratorium was one way to

accomplish that. He said farmers should be very careful with their use of chemicals. “It's only been 50 or 60 years since we started using any pesticides at all and for 15,000 years we've been farming,” Lunn said. “We have a cancer epidemic on our hands and we know it.” Mayor Peter Mertens echoed Lunn's sentiment with regard to the moratorium. “The upper levels of government don't listen to our government too often. This is a way for us to emphasize how important this issue is for us,” he said. Picton resident Lenny Epstein spoke on behalf of the Bee Active group on Thursday. “When you're not using those insecticides there's a number of creatures who won't be exposed to them, whether it's bees, butterflies, or our kids,” said Epstein. “If we have those safe spaces then those are safe spaces, and the fact of the matter is

we're using these chemicals where we don't need to right now.” While representatives of the municipality's agricultural community had asked council not to pursue a moratorium at this point, there were suggestions from the Bee Active group that farmers are willing to participate in discussions about the use of neonicotinoids. Agricultural advisory committee chair John Thompson said Health Canada requires farmers to use a specific seed lubricant when using neonicotinoid-treated seed that limits contaminated exhaust dust from planters. He said he envisions more restrictions on neonicotinoid use in the future and said a moratorium is unnecessary at this point. “No further restrictions can be implemented for this spring's planting,” he said. He said ongoing research and more complete data will result in a regulatory process and a resolution.

POLICING, from page 1

“The new proposed billing model shifts who would pay what, without addressing the root issue of increasing policing costs,” the executive summary says. “OPP billing cannot be separated from this reality. Although crime has been dropping over the past two decades, policing costs continue to rise at a rate that outpaces inflation and other municipal costs.” The steering committee report suggests long-term cost control is the top priority and says the OPP has to employ measures to increase efficiency in deployment and scheduling. The committee also called for greater transparency in billing and service in how costs are assessed and charged to communities. While the committee supported the OPP's work to better divide costs between base and

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their friendship over the years. My career at CIBC has been truly memorable and the years have flown by. I have truly enjoyed working with each and every one of you as we travelled down this financial path together and will miss your companionship. My decision to retire from CIBC has not been an easy one. After 24 years I have become friends with many of you. I will be staying in the area, and hope to meet you all periodically.

calls for service, the report says the OPP has to further show the validity of the ratio. The report calls for the province to provide transition support and mitigation. “The transition to a new billing model should provide immediate relief to those communities who will receive decreases, in recognition of the fact that they have historically paid a higher proportion of costs,” the report says. “For those facing increases, a four-year, phase-in transition period should be used, at a minimum, to help these communities adjust to the new model.” Mertens said the committee looked at a lot of alternatives and recommended the lower 60 per cent base cost. He said ultimately each municipality is going to have to pay a base cost of between $350 and $400 per household, but calls for service costs will vary. “The difficulty for us is in reality over the last three years we've paid $380 per household and last year it was $412 per household,” he said. “What mitigated that for us (in the past) was under OMPF (Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund) there was a line for

police subsidy.” Mertens said the municipality currently receives approximately $1.3 million through OMPF to offset some of the $5.37 million cost of the OPP contract. He said indications are that money could be phased out over the next four years. “Worst case if we lose that $1.3 million, it's going to cost us $1.3 million more,” he said. “Based on what they're going to calculate in costs for calls for service and how that calculation will work, and base cost because our rate of assessment and what that number will be, that will determine what the actual bill is. Whether that mitigates that $1.3 million — we don't know. We don't because the calculations aren't complete” When councillor Janice Maynard asked if Prince Edward County provided a “dissenting voice” against the AMO committee's proposal, Mertens said no. “The model is going to happen and, for us, the alternatives to this were worse,” Mertens said. Mertens again reiterated that switching to a municipal police force rather than OPP would present more challenges and higher costs.

County photographer captures gold Cynara Lewis shoots first-place entry in Ontario Technological Skills Competition Jason Parks

Staff writer

All-candidates meeting Monday night

The Prince Edward County Chamber of Tourism and Commerce and the Prince Edward Federation of Agriculture will hold an all-candidates meeting Monday night at the Prince Edward Community Centre hall from 7-9 p.m. Incumbent Progressive Conservative MPP Todd Smith and fellow candidates Liberal Georgina Thompson, NDP Merrill Stewart, and Green Anita Payne have been invited to the event to discuss issues affecting their riding and to answer questions as arranged by their hosts. -Staff

which drew Ontario's top young welders, woodworkers, graphic artists, etc. Together for a two-day skills challenge remains a mystery. Details of the grading and overall judging were not made available to contestants or teachers. To capture the gold medal, Lewis was tasked with taking photos of the event and creating a story through the eye of her camera lens. In part two of the skills competition, competitors were asked to use a single sheet of white paper and bring it to life in the still life portion of the event. “It was tricky because you have to get creative and think outside the box. Initially, I crumpled it up and was using my macro lens but then I figured everyone else would be doing the same thing. Lewis decided to switch it up and went outside the RIM Park in Waterloo to come up with a new idea. Using a red tin wall as a backdrop, Lewis photographed the piece of

paper alongside a blacked out window to frame it. “It was really outside the box thinking and I believe it pushed her over the top,” Clarke said. Like Clarke, PECI principal Darren MacFarlane was proud of Lewis' efforts. “We are certainly proud of Cynara as she is the epitome of putting perseverance and girt into action. Her success captures the pride of her teachers, the administration and the student body. She has a n awesome skill set and it will be very interesting to see where and how she takes her next steps,” He said, adding Lewis is just one of several PECI leaders that help make the school such a dynamic learning institution. “We are very proud, all our student ambassadors, scientists and technologists, athletes and standout academics. They say there is something different about PECI we'd like to think that's the case. Cynara embodies that and the people in these halls are going to serve the world well when they enter it.”

A young Prince Edward County photographer has clicked her way to the national stage. PECI's Cynara Lewis was a gold medalist at the 25th annual Ontario Technological Skills Competition (OTSC) in KitchenerWaterloo earlier this month and will move on to the Skills Canada National Competition June 4-7 in Mississauga. The senior student said she's alway been snapping pictures, even at a young age, but started to take the skill seriously after her instruction at the local secondary school. PECI educator Hillary Anne Clarke said it's wonderful to see a dedicated student such as Lewis have her skill development recognized. “She's really worked hard to hone her photographic eye and it's awesome that she's going to get a chance to compete with students from across Canada,” Clarke said. The shy and unassuming Lewis thanked Clarke for her unwavering faith in her photography skills. “She's really helped build my technical skills, all through Grade 10 and 11 she was encouraging me to enter competitions but I was a little intimidated,” Lewis told the Gazette. “Finally this year I said I'm going for it and look what's happened.” The competition was unlike the Quinte regional showdown earlier this spring as the OTSC brought out the best in the province. Lewis said walking into the competition was very stressful. One participant had a pair of cameras and enough professional lighting equipment to fill a hockey bag. “Just seeing what you are up against the first time, it's intimidating. I went into this competition not really knowing what to expect. We had eight hours to complete the assignments and that seemed like a lot of time but once you get going, the day just seems to fly by,” Lewis explained.

Bethesda Rd. residents call for repairs Deputee says his road was overlooked in plan for upgrades ChadIbbotson

Staff writer

Residents of Bethesda Road became the latest group to join the chorus of county taxpayers calling for councillors to do more to fix crumbling rural roads. Bethesda Road resident Milt Dulmage asked councillors to commit to improving the road at last week's committee-of-the-whole meeting, but councillors could offer little support. Dulmage said he reviewed the list of roads set to receive upgrades both this year and next and said he was upset to find that none are in his ward of Sophiasburgh. He said Bethesda Road is in especially rough shape, adding that county staff have come to fix pot-

holes on the road “more times than I can count.” Dulmage also criticized the municipality's use of asphalt cold patch for pothole repairs, saying the repairs are often done incorrectly, which forces staff to come back repeatedly for the same holes. “It must be placed in a dry hole and compacted somewhat to be level. If not it will dry out and when run over hours later by traffic it will fly out and require another application resulting in wasted time, effort, and taxpayer dollars,” Dulmage said. “Frankly, I'm frustrated and disappointed by the lack of proper road repair in my area.” He said he's driven some of the roads slated for repair and admitted they were “pretty bad.” “However, none are worse than the road I have lived on since 1978,” he said. Dulmage isn't alone in calling for more road repair. Council has heard deputations from groups and individual residents from across the county this term including some from Big Island, Consecon, and North Marysburgh. However, council has stuck to a roads management plan guided by the Public Works department. Engineering, development, and works commissioner Robert McAuley said the department decides which projects will receive work through an analysis of many factors. He said part of the decision is based on work that is already scheduled or may be scheduled in the area, the condition of the road, the function of the road — either as a collector or arterial road

— and costs. “Those things all come into play,” said McAuley. He said the starting point each year is to have the roads supervisors create a “wish list” based on their worst roads. “We start scoping it down from there. But we ask the people who are driving the roads every day to give us their roads,” he said. The municipality faces an enormous challenge in dealing with its roads. A roads needs study completed by the department last year pegged the cost of bringing all municipal roads up to a perfect rating at close to $566 million. “The difficulty we have, of course, is that just in categories one and two alone — the worst roads — are easily over $100 million,” said McAuley. “Trying to just attack some of that is a difficult thing to do.” McAuley said the department didn't have any trouble spending the additional $1 million council approved in the 2014 budget. “We've spread it around to some of the worst roads we have but also, in the same vein, we're trying to attack some of the roads in the higher classes that are deteriorating so they down become a Level 3 or 1 or 2 condition,” he said. McAuley said the list of roads projects for 2015 are, for the most part, projects that have been pushed back from previous years. He said there will be a reassessment of all the county's roads this summer and a forthcoming asset management plan will give council an idea of where dollars could be focused in the next five-year roads plan.

THURSDAY, MAY 22, 2014

Picton Gazette 90 years ago — 1924

n MP John Hobbs spoke critically of the budget in the House of Commons. He criticized the government for taking sales taxes off farm implements, but not canning machinery. He was also concerned that reduced tariffs on imported goods would make Canada a dumping ground for cheaper American goods, noting that at least under reciprocity in 1911, Canadians received some value for their money. n Magistrate Levi Williams decided there was enough evidence to send J.M. Jarvis and Charles Wallace to trial after the men were accused of conspiring to defraud several county residents out of money, including George Ostrander, who found himself bilked out of $9,812 on bad gas company stock sold by the men. n The Prince Edward Live Stock Co-operative Ltd. received provincial charter and set up operations at Picton. The company raised $14,000 through the sale of 560 shares at $25 each. The new company would market livestock, while buying and selling feed and equipment.

70 years ago — 1944

n Petty officer David Stanton of the British Merchant Marine visited his brothers Robert, of Picton, and William, of Mountainview. Stanton had been serving on the Mediterranean Sea and was reuniting with this brothers for the first time in over 15 years. n Canada’s Postmaster General decided to reduce the rates people would pay to send an airgraph message to those in the armed forces. The rate was reduced for people in the services from six cents to five cents and for civilians from 15 cents to 10 cents. He noted there had been a great improvement in the speed of the messages, which created economies that could be transferred to service users. n Frank DeLong was able to escape his burning home on the second concession in Ameliasburgh with his wife and his mother. A fire of unknown origin spread at about 11 p.m. Only a piano, a bench, and a few overcoats could be saved from the home during the blaze.

60 years ago — 1954

n The new Glenora-Adolphustown ferry was launched at the port of Erieau and was set to be christened The Loyalist. The sister ship of the Quinte, it was designed to carry 12 cars and 70 passengers per load. The descendants of United Empire Loyalist leader Maj. Peter Vanalstyne attended the ceremonies on Lake Erie. nBrigadier M.S. Dunn conducted annual inspections for the Royal Canadian School of Artillery and 127/128 Composite Ack-Ack Batteries in Picton.

20 years ago — 1994

n About 50 Prince Edward County residents joined Toronto’s Eleanor Mills and a group of other osteoporotic women as they walked through the community as part of a national event to fight their degenerative bone disease. In the county alone, the walk raised almost $1,000. n Community Care For Seniors honoured Beth Steeves with a lifetime membership for her volunteer service to the Meals on Wheels program and her more than 10 years on the board of directors.

The Sprague’s Pipits bird for bucks

I am a bit of a traditionalist, even a bit reactionary when it comes to established routines, some would claim. I hate it when grocery stores change their shelf arrangement, and I have to search for my favourite brand of peanut butter. I am up most mornings at 4 a.m. to start my day, and in bed by 9 p.m. – every day with few exceptions. I have little use for the night life. So, what was I doing, with two other birders at the top of a hill at Picton’s Glenwood Cemetery in the darkness of night? I’m a birder, so I was listening for screech owls. We had no problem attracting the attention of three of the tiny eight-inch owls when we played a recording of their song. They responded nicely with their soft, tremulous whistle – certainly not a screeching sound by any stretch of the imagination. The responding screech owl filled a need as we were on a birdathon and it was our duty to find as many species as we could during a 24-hour period, to raise funds for the Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory. Sponsorship of over $2,000 was riding on it. We are not advocates of luring birds in this way as it draws them off their nests to investigate what they perceive to be an intruder in their territory. It is reserved only for rare occasions such as this and we try not to abuse it. So, we left quietly, for a brief encounter with a distant barred owl at nearby Macaulay Mountain. Our list was starting to grow. A slow

OUTDOOR RAMBLES TERRY SPRAGUE

drive along Army Reserve Road produced several whippoor-wills. They don’t need encouragement. Woodcocks were twittering away, performing their spring nuptials and we listened intently for other sounds that the darkness of night might produce. A towhee there and a Wilson’s snipe winnowing somewhere over there. One has to be very sound oriented when doing a birdathon if success is to be realized. We called it a night. By 4 a.m. we were back on the road again. We call ourselves the “Sprague’s Pipits” after the western terrestrial bird by the same name. We are not related to the best of my knowledge. Helping me this year on this endeavour in which I have taken part for 10 years were Kathy Felkar and Mike Burge, volunteers with the Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory. A new member of our team this year, and our “guest

birder” for the 18th annual Spring Birding Festival was Nick Quickert of Trenton. Quickert has had a life-long fascination with nature and birds. He is a long time participant in the Quinte area Christmas Bird Counts and has had a major role in the latest Ontario Breeding Bird Atlas with a total of nine squares in the Quinte area and cottage country. Quickert has birded worldwide, travelling on six continents and seeing over 5000 species. As this is being read, Nick is now in Alaska on yet another birding tour, so we are very appreciate that he was able to join us this year. It was a good day and we found almost the entire complement of warblers including an uncommon cerulean warbler. We did poorly with the thrushes, but made up for it elsewhere. Wetlands at Kaiser Crossroad at Cressy, and along Jackson’s Falls Road near Milford and Wesley Acres Road at Bloomfield, produced shorebirds, but not as many as we had hoped. Still, we forged bravely ahead – a great egret along Old Milford Road, a black-billed cuckoo on Fry Road, a common loon at East Lake, a bluebird along Long Point Road, and chimney swifts above Picton. A drive along the town’s Main Street to pick up the pigeons and house sparrows two species that we might otherwise overlook. There are other teams out there too in May, doing their bit to raise funds for the Observatory. For many years, there

has been a friendly rivalry between our team and the team led by the bander in charge at the bird observatory. His team always ends up with one or two species more than us. In the end, it is not about winning — it is about doing the best you can, and letting an intimate knowledge of invisible sounds in the night, and sometimes fate, being the deciding factor in how well one does. We ended our 24-hour birdathon with 139 species. We lament our failure in finding a sandhill crane or an upland sandpiper, despite both species having been seen the same day at reported locations. Part of it is about chance encounters. But, we found a lot of good stuff too, and the almost ghostly winnowing sounds of the screech owls was certainly a high point for me. That’s a lot of birds to tally in one day, when many new birders experience difficulty in barely reaching 100 species in an entire year, until they get some experience under their belt. The birdathon in Prince Edward County is extremely well supported, and the collective effort by all those who took part will result in some $10,000 being generated for this important facility at Prince Edward Point. We thank all those who supported us. For more information on today’s topic, please e-mail tsprague@kos.net or phone 613 848-4549.

Law Enforcement Torch Run comes through Picton today

The torch will burn bright along Picton’s Main Street this morning as law enforcement officials raise awareness for the Special Olympics this morning. At about 9:30 a.m. members of the OPP, Correctional Services of Canada, and other law enforcement agencies will leave the Crystal Palace on a loop through Picton’s downtown core area. Officers and volunteers following the torch bearers will be carrying buckets

to collect donations along the route to support Ontario’s Special Olympics programming. The money raised when officers and athletes carry the Flame of Hope go directly toward programs that will impact local community-based activities. The torch run has been taking place since 1981 and has now spread to more than 46 countries in the world, having

raised more than US$461 million for the movement. In that time, more than 97,000 volunteers have done their part to raise funds and bring awareness for Special Olympic programming. According to local zone coordinator Bill Dickson, the torch run is now the top fundraising event for Special Olympics Ontario and it continues to raise more than $1 million annually.

Dickson said “it is through the dedication, commitment, and passion of the people in law enforcement that enables the Ontario program to continue to be not only the No. 1 fundraising arm of Special Olympics Ontario, but also a world-class program that is internationally recognized as a fundraising activity. -Staff

WANTING something that is new and virtually stateof-the-art is human nature. Most of us are conditioned to want the newest and the best for ourselves and for our families. But what if the newer option does not clearly present a better alternative than the old one? Earlier this month, residents of Prince Edward County were asked to contribute their share — $12 million through contributions to the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation and Auxiliary — toward the $40-million cost of the facility. The community would also be charged with financing the equipment needed to sustain that facility over the long term to ensure that it stays current years after it is finally built, likely 10-15 years from now. At a Rotary meeting following the announcement, health-care commentator Mark Larratt-Smith cautioned the public to be wise investors as they pursue a new hospital facility in this region. He indicated that while the county may be getting a new hospital, there has to be a commitment on the size of the facility, the number of beds it is going to hold, and the array of services it is going to offer. Larratt-Smith congratulated the Foundation and the Auxiliary for stepping up to the challenge of building a hospital for the future, but he also noted that the public should move forward with a hospital project with caution and with plans set in place to ensure local residents have a say in how their money is spent — and regardless what anyone may argue, it is all taxpayers’ money at the end of the day. He noted donors should have a vote in how their money is ultimately spent. Contributors to any future campaigns for the new facility should be able to hear from the doctors who are finding it harder and harder to function, both in the emergency department and in-patient areas with fewer beds to transition patients to. They should be able to ask the powers-that-be how their facility is going to address the aging demographics in the county and, ultimately, how adaptable it might be should government change and should priorities become different in the health-care system. Is it in the best interest of the funders to think that over time, those proposing a new hospital may have to redraw the proposal time and again before approval comes years down the line? One must ask, also, if with the current distrust that appears in this community toward Quinte Healthcare Corporation and the Local Health Integration Network if a more productive fundraising campaign might include putting money into programs that shift the weight of care from a central hospital facility, like the Prince Edward Family Health Team’s recent Hospital@Home proposal, programs that promote healthy living, or an increase in long-term care beds in the county. Perhaps even backing pilot projects that would allow paramedics to offer broader levels of care outside a hospital setting would offer bang for the buck. It’s a great thing that planning is moving forward on a new hospital for the county, it definitely can use one, but Larratt-Smith is right in saying delivery of services should be the prime consideration. County residents should demand their facility meets their needs.

Hilary MacLeod and pirate magic to come at libraries

Hilary MacLeod is a writer, broadcaster, and author of a mystery series set in the small Canadian fishing village, The Shores. Her humorous novels, which feature quirky characters, are what the author calls “village noir”. Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, MacLeod was educated in England, Canada, and Mexico and is a graduate of McGill University. She was a news director for CHUM in Montreal and a CBC host in New Brunswick. In 2012, MacLeod retired from Loyalist College in Belleville, Ontario, where she taught Media Studies for 22 years. Today, she spends her summers in Sea View on Prince Edward Island and the rest of the year here in the County sharing her quaint cottage with two feline friends, Gus and Sophie. Her well-loved mystery series includes Revenge of the Lobster Lover, Mind over Mussels, All is Clam, and her latest Something Fishy. The synopsis of her latest work, as described on the author’s website, begins, “Herrings are falling from the sky over The Shores – an unusual phenomenon anywhere, but especially so in this case. A newcomer, Anton Paradis, has set up a restaurant that specializes in dangerous dining, cooking up food that can kill to tantalize the palates of wealthy clients. It’s a recipe for death. Someone’s bound to get hurt. Someone does. Oddly, the victim dies laughing…by accident or design? Mountie Jane Jamieson’s suspects it’s no accident. But could there really be another murder at The Shores. All the while, a wind turbine slices its blades over the cape, menacing the villagers with its eerie presence. Death is in the wind as well as on the dinner plate.” MacLeod will be reading from Something Fishy when she visits the Picton branch library on Tuesday, May 27 at 7 p.m. Signed books will be available for purchase. On the following Saturday, May 31, two special events are happening at the library.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

It’s long past time to privatize LCBO services

It’s time to get rid of the LCBO Actually, it was time 20 years ago, when Alberta successfully privatized their liquor control board. I lived in Alberta for 42 years, before returning to my home province of taxes and regulations. There seems to be a misconception as to the outcome of the Alberta privatization experiment. There were 200-plus

ALCB liquor stores in 1993 now there are 1,982. Product selection has expanded, from 2,200 in 1993 to over 19,000 items, I could buy a 12-year-old bottle of Scotch for $38, try finding that for under $50 here. Employment jumped from 1,300 employees to 4,000. The number of employees here are about 7,500, that would equate to 15,000 new jobs, if we privatized.

Pricing: a 750ml bottle of Bacardi Rum at Real Canadian Liquorstore (Loblaws) in Calgary is $17.98 and from your trusted LCBO $24.95. Sell the 634 liquor stores for a profit of $300 million, that will help pay for the new Picton hospital and maybe fill in a few potholes in the county. Another good idea Alberta has is a recycling industry.

All pop cans, bottles, wine/liquor/beer containers, water bottles and milk containers have a deposit and return amount. Businesses are set-up to handle the returns and some have employed mentally challenged staff, which makes them gainfully employed and off the street. Robert Dickie Black River

Response from council, County staff lacking

In last week’s Gazette, Stan Grizzle had some very serious issues with members of Council. I’ve never met or talked with Stan and can’t comment on his letter. I will comment on how the mayor and council continually ignore input from taxpayers almost to the point of contempt. I witnessed another near

car crash at an intersection in Cherry Valley recently. The intersection is poorly designed and sign posted and something from the 1960s. When the county is full of visitors it is even more dangerous. I e-mailed Mayor Peter Mertens, councilor Jamie Forrester, commissioner

Robert McAuley and OPP Staff Sgt. Barry Freeburn at the OPP, asking for someone to take a look at the intersection before someone is injured or killed there. What was the response? Absolutely nothing! Not even an acknowledgement of my e-mail let alone any action. It’s no wonder

turnout at the municipal elections is so low when council are only interested in photo ops and vote getting issues such as wind turbines. Between elections they just ignore and seem to resent input from the taxpayers. John Blake, Cherry Valley

PECT scores again with its production of Deathtrap

Deathtrap was another hit by the Prince Edward Community Theatre group, expertly directed this time by Lynn Fennell. Bill McMahon excelled as the washed up, aging playwright, Sydney Bruhl, who married his much

younger wife for her money, Myra Bruhl, played subserviently by Lindsey Payne. Hugh Cameron was so believable as Clifford Anderson, the young secretary of Sydney, and the stunts that were required

by these two, were very well done! And of course, John McCarthy gave another stellar performance as Porter Milgrim, Sydney's lawyer. But then, Helga Ten Dorp the psychic, played

by Paulina McMahon, breezes in with a gust of humour, and a great eastern European accent to shake things up!! Congratulations to all involved! Lynn Toth

Despite losing a team over the winter, the Prince Edward County Men's Fastball League (PECMFL) has a new exciting wrinkle for the upcoming season. The local loop lost the Tweed Juniors who went winless in competition last season but PECMFL will be introducing interlocking play with the Loughborough League north and west of Kingston. “It's a chance to branch out and see some new players, see some new teams and

play some good ball,” PECMFL spokesperson Chad Camp said. “They approached us about an interlocking schedule and we think it will work nicely.” In order to cut down on travel, when a PECMFL team hosts an interlock game it will be held at the Tyendinaga ballyard. When welcoming the PECMFL, the Loughborough league will host at the Napanee ball diamonds. The Loughborough loop features five squads includ-

ing the Napanee Express midget and junior squads. Under this pilot project, each PECMFL club will play a Loughborough team once and the initiative will be reevaluated in the offseason. The interlocking portion of the PECMFL schedule starts Thursday, May 29 when Roblin's Family Plumbing is in Napanee to play the Junior Express at 8:30 p.m. In league action this past week, fireballer Dale Dowdell showed no rust

after a year layoff in fanning 17 as he and Terra Vista Rockies blanked the Roblin's Copperheads 1-0 Thursday night. In action Tuesday, Danford Contracting shaded Whitepine Watershed 7-6. In action tonight in Picton, the Ameliasburgh A's visit Roblin's at 7 while Beatty Seeds and the Rockies hook up at 8:30 p.m. -Jason Parks, Staff

Free admission helps generate traffic

Museums across the county enjoy vibrant opening weekend Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

The municipality's museums welcomed hundreds of visitors through their doors over the weekend as they celebrated International Museum Day. Prince Edward County museums head curator Jennifer Lyons said it was a great day for the municipal attractions. Admission to each of the County's five museums was free on Sunday and some cool Victoria Day long weekend weather seemed to encourage visitors to check out the museums, said Lyons. “It went really well. It was a nice day, but cool, and people were looking for something indoors to do,” she said. “I was stationed at Macaulay House and I know we had over 120 people through the doors.” Lyons said Ameliasburgh Historical Museum had approximately the same number of visitors as Macaulay, and the rest of the museums had encouraging attendance as well. “It was a pretty steady flow of people throughout the day,” she said. “It wasn't really warm enough for people to be out in their gardens or on the beach, so a museum visit was a perfect fit

for the weekend we had.” Lyons said events like Sunday's help attract a new audience to the County's museums. “Sometimes when there is an admission it just gives people pause as to whether they really want to experience what's there, but when it's free admission it's very inviting and people can judge for themselves what value the museum is,” she said. “Everyone who came away from visiting us on Sunday were quite pleased.” Macaulay House volunteer Jackie Campbell said on Sunday morning a couple of families came early to check out the museum. “We've got two mothers with a number of children which is very good when you get lots of children to the museum,” she said. Campbell was showcasing some historic cooking techniques and other volunteers were showing visitors how the table would have been set for a meal at Macaulay House in the 1830s. She said the museum would be hosting a number of different events on weekends throughout the summer including crafts, cooking, and gardening demonstrations. “There are three different

ones on gardening and there will be people out gardening and ready to answer questions,” Campbell said. She said events like Sunday's help create awareness of what's happening at the County's museums. “It reminds people there are five museums in the county and each of the museums are unique,” she said. “Hopefully they'll come back again and bring other people back.” Rose House and Mariners Park museums curator Diane Denyes-Wenn and student Alicia Dayton were offering tours of Rose House on Sunday morning. Denyes-Wenn said Rose House passed through about six generations of the Rose family before it was turned into a museum in 1967. “We give a tour telling about the life of the family that lived in this house, what life would have been like and touching on some of the furniture,” she said. Denyes-Wenn said Rose House will be hosting Fibre Fest on Saturday, June 21 with demonstrations on dyeing and weaving. On Saturday, May 31 Macaulay House will be hosting an 1860s military reenactment with equipment and marching demonstrations.

Quinte Access poised to keep transit contract County looks to extend deal for two years Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

It looks like the municipality's specialized transit provider will be in place for at least another two years. Committee of the whole voted at last Thursday's meeting to extend the specialized transit contract with Quinte Access for another two years. The motion will have to be confirmed by council at their May 27 regular meeting. A report presented to the committee Thursday says the 2014 budget included funding for the service within Prince Edward County for four days per week, 52 weeks per year. Quinte Access first took over the service in 2011 and the report says the current

contract extension was to expire in June of this year. “Quinte Access has provided quality, cost efficient service over the duration of the present contract,” the report says. “Staff is satisfied with the services that have been provided thus far.” The report says there were only two bidders for the contract back in 2011 and suggested that tendering the contract again might not yield any additional qualified bidders. The budget for the service was set at $120,000 in 2014 with none of that to be raised from taxes. The report says the been tracking about $4,000 over budget this year, however, it says increased ridership revenues are expected to compensate for the increase.

Compact Construction Services, owned and operated by Drew Byford, is in the business of general civil contracting encompassing the many facets of excavation and construction in Prince Edward County and the Quinte area. Established in 2006 Compact Construction Services initially supplied confined space services with compact equipment but has expanded over the years into a complete service, civil construction firm with a full line of equipment for larger commercial and industrial projects. Compact now provides road construction, foundation excavation, utility servicing, septic system installation and repair, as well as total project construction and management services for residential, commercial and industrial projects. The company also still supplies compact equipment for confined area projects difficult to access. Compact Construction Services has the experience and expertise to perform sizable, complex projects from start to finish. Drew Byford brings his varied educational and work experience to Compact. After graduating from Civil Engineering Technology, he tenured with the Ministry of Transportation's capital construction division in the capacity of senior construction inspector and project supervisor. That experience proved invaluable in future positions as project superintendent and project manager for Dufferin Construction and the Warren Group. Project scopes encompassed bridge and road construction services with contract values often exceeding $15 million. But the travel and missed time at home with his growing family and mixed beef and cash crop family farm eventually led to the formation of Compact Construction Services.

Climate change crusader Payne pitches in to ensure local Greens have a voice Different approach to renewables, funding conservation part of energy platform adam bramburger

Staff writer

Anita Payne doesn’t expect to run a full campaign in Prince Edward-Hastings, but she believes she can play a valuable role as the Green Party’s candidate. The retired high school science teacher represented the party twice previously in provincial elections, running in 2007 in Perth-Wellington and in 2011 in HaliburtonKawartha Lakes-Brock. Despite living in the Perth area of Lanark County, Payne took the party’s call to run again in a neighbouring riding. “The Green Party is not expecting me to run a full campaign,” she explained. “When no one stepped forward locally, they didn’t expect to elect a Green MPP in Prince Edward-Hastings, but they still wanted to offer them a chance to share their voice and vote Green.” Payne said she has signs out throughout the riding and she plans to take part in candidates’ meetings as well. As a longtime executive of the Ontario Society for Environmental Education and several watchdog groups like Citizens Climate Lobby, Payne says she has long been concerned about the effects of global warming and she said the concerns she has continue to mount. “We have to change the way we’re doing things to make a more sustainable society,” Payne said. “I’m very concerned about climate change. Things are happening much quicker than anyone expected.” Payne indicated she believes it will be necessary to cut down emissions and to reduce the use of fossil fuels. She said that she is a big fan of using renewable energy,

seeking sustainability Three-time Green candidate Anita Payne says her party has fully costedout policies that Ontario can afford to adopt for the benefit of current and future generations. (Submitted photo)

adding that Prince Edward County residents shouldn’t be concerned by that. “There are other ways to do things. The Green Energy Act was good to a certain point, but it has been causing a lot of problems with the way things are done,” she said. Payne said Ontario could look to Europe where renewable energy proponents have found more success with community-based projects, with the benefits of those projects being reaped by those immediately impacted by the technology, rather than by foreign companies. She also added that there could be better legislation brought it that would focus more on the impacts of technology on the environment than on ensuring the technology goes up as quickly as possible. Payne noted that in many cases favourable results can be found in smaller scale projects.

Striking a similar chord as Green candidate Treat Hull in the 2011 election, Payne said one of the best ways to deal with energy prices is to promote ways for people to conserve energy in their own homes. She indicated that the Green platform would allow tax incentives for people looking to retrofit their homes and for those people who come up with innovations that will help in that regard. That platform indicates that if individuals could reduce their energy bills by 50 per cent, the average Ontario household wold save $1,000 per year and that’s not including the up-to-$4,000 in grants the Greens would hope to create. The Green Party, Payne says, would also use conservation as a jobs creation strategy with more people wanting to get into developing green products and performing retrofits to help people save energy.

Payne also indicated she’d prefer a carbon tax system similar to the fee and dividend system that British Columbia has now to provide some incentive for companies to reduce their carbon footprints. To help small businesses, Payne said the Greens would double exemptions in the Employer Health Tax (EHT) to $900,000 for businesses with payrolls less than $5 million, which should give them the capacity to hire more. One plank of the Green platform that hits really close to Payne’s heart is that of education reform. The party is proposing to merge the province’s two publicly funded school systems to one, eliminating publicly funded Catholic education and creating a savings estimated at up to $1.6 billion annually. Payne said she taught in public schools for 24 years and despite supplying for 11 years, found she couldn’t get a job in the Catholic education system. “That’s discriminatory to me,” she said, adding that the United Nations has twice sanctioned Ontario for its legislation, which funds one form of religious education, but not others. “The choice was to go one way and fund all religious schooling or the other way and fund none, the Green Party has chosen none,” she said. “That creates savings in administration, facilities, and busing.” Payne said the Green platform is conservative in nature and ensures the province isn’t spending money it doesn’t have. She

indicated each party plank has been costed out as sustainability for future generations is at its core. While Payne said that Prince Edward-Hastings may not be a riding her party is counting on, they are hoping that some Green MPPs can get through the firstpast-the-post electoral system and raise some issues at Queen’s Park. When asked how she keeps her hope for that, she says she looks at the

awareness federal Green leader Elizabeth May brought since her election in 2011. Payne knows what it is like to provide inspiration for other like-minded people. She was the lone Canadian to take part in the first leg of the Great March for Climate Action from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C. and says she constantly thinks of her children and grandchildren when engaging in politics.

Re-enactment of Lazier murder trial to benefit The Macdonald Project Justice Robert Sharpe to preside over trial, which will share piece of Picton history, offer insight into legal conventions of the late 1800s Staff writer

Sir John A, Macdonald had long moved on from his familiar Bay of Quinte stomping grounds by the spring of 1884. Canada’s first prime minister would be asked to give some thought to the happenings in the courthouse that helped give rise to his legal career that year, however, as he was asked to look into granting clemency to Joseph Thomset and George Lowder, two men sentenced to death by jury for murdering Peter Lazier in a

botched robbery. “Macdonald’s hands were tied somewhat by the legal conventions of the day,” local historian Peter Lockyer explained. “A jury sentenced the men to death and he had little choice but to order justice to be done.” At the time, community members were appalled with the verdict as they felt one or both of them men hanged were innocent. To this day, questions remain about the process. Some said the footprint evidence used to convict the men was tainted, while others were critical of way

the presiding judge managed the mobs in his court. Now nearly 200 years after Macdonald’s birth, Lockyer points out that the occurrences of the Lazier trial and Macdonald will again cross paths as the committee backing a bronze sculpture commemorating Macdonald will be staging a re-enactment of the trial in July to raise money to celebrate Macdonald’s young years in the Quinte area. According to Lockyer, the re-enactment will take place in the same room at the Picton court where the

infamous verdict was delivered. Justice Robert Sharpe, a county resident who wrote a book about the Lazier trial will preside over the case with members of the legal community standing in for the barristers who would have argued for an against the guilty verdict some 130 years ago. Justice Richard Byers will play the role of Mayor Edwards Merrill for the presentation. “The courtroom hasn’t really changed a great deal in the time that has passed,” said Lockyer. “You’re basically sitting in

the same seats — largely unchanged — as that jury did for the trial. It’s also the same courthouse where Macdonald had his first trial in 1834 when the courthouse opened.” While Lockyer said the trial was a key moment in the county’s history, he added it also drew great natural interest as many in the legal profession have studied the case and the legislation that was available at the time to examine its limitations and customs of the period.

Lowder may have been the wrong men, the case has also been cited in arguments about capital punishment, which no longer exists in Canada. Previously, Sharpe had told the Toronto Star that he felt a blood-thirsty community had an impact on jurors. “The jury could not avoid knowing this community wanted these men convicted and desperately wanted that to happen. And that had to have an impact on the result.” He also observed some other oddities, including a provision that kept the accused from testifying. ““When we look back on this case through modern eyes, we see all kinds of things that seem odd,” Sharpe told The Star. The rule against an accused person testifying, for instance, was meant to protect the right to silence, the thinking being that if a person charged with a crime were permitted to get in the witness box, anyone who didn’t do so would appear to have something to hide and be presumed guilty.” Sharpe has examined the case in great detail, even writing a book about it in 2002, and he’s crafted the re-enactment in such a way that guests will get to judge whether the men were indeed guilty or if they were wrongfully convicted of their crimes. Tickets for the event will cost $125 each and will include not only the re-enactment itself at 1 p.m., but also a special tour of the gallows where the men were hanged, and a reception at the Waring House where more information will be given about the Macdonald Project. A tax receipt will be issues for a portion of the price. Lockyer, who has been a passionate defender of the value of local history, said he sees the re-enactment as a nice way to bring forward local lore while attracting a broader audience to the community. “If there was ever an opportunity to celebrate history, this is it,” he said. “It’s opening the door for us to have a big event in 2015 where Prince Edward County shines. It’s unique because we own the early history of John A. Macdonald and his legal career.” Lockyer added there has been plenty of interest in the works of the Macdonald Project across Ontario, including at Queen’s Park, where MPPs gave Ruth Abernethy’s statue a standing ovation.

Pictonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bronze Macdonald statue progressing Project organizers look for final $60,000 push to pay for Ruth Abernethyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original work AdAm BrAmBurger

Staff writer

A lasting memorial for Sir John A. Macdonald on Pictonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Main Street will be a reality next year. David Warrick, the cochair of The Macdonald Project, confirmed that his committee had raised $120,000 of the $180,000 it needs to pay sculptor Ruth Abernethy for a life-sized statue of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first prime minister practicing law in his youth in Picton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The project is going to happen, we just need to have a final push for completion,â&#x20AC;? Warrick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Soon Canadians will learn of John A. Macdonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s close connection with Prince Edward County and the Quinte region.â&#x20AC;? He indicated his committee is still making plans for how it will unveil Abernethyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now-completed work, the 10th statute of Macdonald to be erected in a public place in Canada. According to Warrick, the committee is looking at one of two options for the celebration in 2015, either Macdonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 200th birthday Jan. 11, or on Canada Day, July 1. An option for delivery in 2017 to mark Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 170th birthday is also on the table if the remaining $60,000 can not be raised by next year. Warrick had the chance to see Abernethyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sculpture of Glenn Gould outside Torontoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CBC building close up, and said he found that work so lifelike that it actually captured the eccentric nature of the famous pianist. He added heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seen a number of the artistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; other works, including a piece depicting Lt-Col John McCrae finishing writing In Flanders Fields, which will be installed in Guelph next year to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the famous poem. Warrick said he believes the Macdonald one, entitled Holding Court, which shows the onetime barrister asking

celebrate

a question in front of a witness box that people will one-day be able to sit in could be a really special piece right up there with any of those works. While Abernethy has revealed a wax model of the sculpture, he says the bronze pieces are even more impressive in their detail and in their characterization. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you see it, you realize just how amazing this work is,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just a copy of a photograph. You get a feeling of who he was. It shows his charisma, he was a real leader.â&#x20AC;? Warrick said the individual bronze fired pieces are just remarkable to see. In raising the money to go forward with the sculpture, Warrick said the money didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just come in from the county or from Picton, which is bound to benefit most from the new town centre concept being championed in the project proposal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;John A. Macdonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s early years have never been told fully and we have that narrative here,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many people have been happy to join with us to play a part in celebrating Macdonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legacy. This is more than a Bay of Quinte project, it has now gone national.â&#x20AC;? Even before being cleared to practice law at age 20 by the Law Society of Upper Canada, Macdonald had already volunteered as a secretary on the first public school board, organized a young menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debating society, volunteered as a polling clerk, and signed a petition to rename Hallowell. Warrick said communities around the Bay of Quinte can share claim to the colourful politician as he spent time on Hay Bay, in Adolphustown, and in Napanee. Macdonald lived in Picton and in Glenora and had relatives in the Napanee area, in Hillier, and around Belleville. He also had a hand in opening the Murray Canal, a feat that resonates with Quinte West residents and one that helped

County chefs go two-for-two on Chopped Canada Dowson, Woodland each win their cooking challenge on Food Network

Meeting Wednesday May 28, 2014 7-9 pm Old Town Hall, above Fire Department Speaker: Christine Gill Topic: How to Raise Amazing Delphiniums Renew your annual membership: individual $15, family $25

Jason Parks

Staff wRiteR

In Canada's most hyped cooking challenge, Prince Edward County is two-fortwo. After Agrarian chef Neil Dowson won the Chopped Canada challenge on the Food Network earlier this month, chef John Ross Woodland made it a double victory for the local culinary community as he too was declared a winner at the conclusion of Thursday night's telecast. The program pits four chefs against one another in three timed segments where they use mystery ingredients to produce an unforgettable meal and, after each segment (appetizer, main dish, dessert), a contestant is chopped from the competition. The wins earned both men $10,000 each and the title of Chopped champion. Dowson, a native Briton who settled in Prince Edward County recently with his wife, said it was nice to finally be able to talk about his win after being sworn to secrecy by the program's producers. “We had a big viewing party at the Agrarian and it was really nice to see how they put the episode together and I thought I came across well,” Dowson said with a laugh. “It's nice to have it broadcast because it's been over a year since it was filmed.” Into its second season, the program is gaining in popularity and Dowson is watching to see if Chopped Canada follows its American cousin and a Chopped Champions edition is produced. Wow, could Dowson and Woodland lock horns in a future episode? “I think that would be really cool,” Dowson said. “I watched this past weeks episode and I think John

he is announced as winner of Food Network's Chopped Canada program Thursday evening. Woodland and Chef Neil Dowson of the Agrarian Restaurant in Bloomfield both won Chopped competitions this past month. (Food Network Canada)

Ross did a fantastic job. It's too bad the Taste the County event is up in the air because wouldn't it be amazing to have him and I competing with last year's champion Matt DeMille?” Dowson said he noticed his profile has risen since the episode aired, from fellow Chopped winners reaching out to him on Facebook to a gaggle of new twitter followers to people coming into the Bloomfield restaurant to have their picture taken with a celebrity chef. Woodland, who now plies his trade at the trendy Tu Casa of Mississauga, has really seen his stock rise as he has parlayed his win into an appearance on Entertainment Tonight Canada on Friday evening and a pair of cooking segments on an upcoming episode of Canada AM. Woodland told the Gazette this week he was taken aback when the final reveal showed it was the PECI alum and not

renowned chef Bruno Feldesien as the winner. “Basically from the start of filming, I felt Bruno was a world-class chef and he was going to wind up winning,” Woodland said. “I was shocked...It's still very hard to put into words.” After winning Chopped Canada, Woodland appeared on ET Canada where he surprised his long -time girlfriend and Picton native Katelyn Lawson with a marriage proposal. “I did some tasting menus for people connected with ET Canada and they knew I was going to be on the show and this idea sort of popped up. I was going to propose anyway and I thought how many people get to propose on national television?” Woodland said. Lawson, Woodland's partner for six years, said yes. With the win and his

close proximity to Toronto, Woodland's talents have caught the eye of television producers and his upcoming Canada AM segment might parlay into a monthly appearance. But the former Picton resident is trying very hard to stay grounded. “Even when we were shooting Chopped, I had this little voice saying, 'It's the Canadian version, it might not be that big,' and even after I won, I had to keep it quiet so I was keeping myself pretty level,” Woodland said. “Even though I'm getting a lot of exposure and it's great for Tu Casa and myself professionally, it's still just food. I cook, it's not like I'm out there saving lives or something.” Both episodes are in rotation on the Food Network and can be watched on demand at www.choppedcanada.ca.

Plants that will attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds to your garden

Given the increasing concerns with regard to our honey bee and monarch butterfly populations, I have decided to focus on three plants in my garden that attract them. Since hummingbirds are often attracted to the same plants as all three are attracted to good nectar sources, I have added them in as well. Nothing is more attractive that a flower garden with vividly coloured visitors flitting among the flowers. I also love the hum of bees. The three plants I am highlighting here are the mid to late bloomers, finishing up the season rather than opening it. Nepetas attract bees and humming birds. They originate from a variety of locations in the Northern

ASK A MASTER GARDENER SANDRA GORANSON

Hemisphere. Nepeta racemosa, syn, N. mussini will bloom through the summer into early fall. They grow in any well-drained soil in sun

or partial shade. They are basically problem free other than for leaf spot. This plant, also known as catmint, is not to be confused with its cousin N. cataria, also known as catnip. The plants provides an attractive ground cover either on their own or under larger plants. The plants grow up to 12 inches (30cm.) and spread over 18 in. (45 cm.). They develop attractive spikes of lavender-blue raceme-like whorled cymes that almost mask the grey-green heart shaped finely hairy leaves. The plant needs to be deadheaded or sheered to extend its blooming season. Crocosmia ‘Lucifer’ is a very showy plant that can easily shine at the back of a bed. They originate in South Africa which is home

to a very significant number of flowering plants. This plant requires sun or part shade in rich moist but well drained soil. They may require some winter protection as they are becoming established. If they are increasing in number they should be lifted and divided in the spring. They can attract spider mites. The leaves are lance shaped, pleated and midgreen and at least two feet (60 cm.) high. The bright red funnel shaped flowers arch above them on a branched spike. At two inches (5 cm.) in length it is not surprising that the flowers are a hit with the hummingbirds but they attract bees as well. It flowers in mid to late summer for a lengthy period of time as the flowers slowly develop along the spike. Finally there is Asclepias tuberosa that is a milkweed relative, and is also known as the butterfly weed. The Asclepias originate in South Africa but members of this genus are also found in both North and South America. This plant not only attracts butterflies but bees and humming birds as well. These plants do best in full sun and well-drained loamy soil. They may rot if the soil is too wet. Aphids may be a problem when they flower but a good blast of water all over including under the leaves should take care of it. The butterfly weed is a tuberous, hairy perennial with thick stems bearing numerous spirally arranged lance-shaped light to midgreen leaves. The blooms are large flat clusters of tiny

flowers with 6 petals in shades ranging through red to orange to yellow. The one I grow has yellow blooms from early to midsummer. In the fall they develop fruit on the end of long nodding stalks. They can grow to 36 inches. (90 cm.) high and 12 inches. (30 cm.) wide. This plant is a very attractive addition to a border with its height and long blooming period. There are of course many other plants that attract bees, butterflies and hummingbirds and it can be fun to look for your own solutions to attracting them as well as trying these. While choosing new plants is always exciting knowing where they might successfully grow in your garden is helpful as well.

The Picton Gazette This past year President Phil St. Jean and his merry band of Kinsmen made a huge donation of $ 10,000.00 to support the new P.E. Hospice building on Downes Ave. as a sign of continued support of this very much needed community asset. Kinsmen also are very supportive of our Picton Hospital and have contributed recently with the purchase of much

needed new medical equipment. Cystic Fibrosis is the national charity where Kin is the major fundraiser Canadawide. Due to our involvement research has allowed the C.F. disease lifespan to jump from childhood to survivors reaching their 40's now.

It was a great time for all involved and the fellowship with the Seniors that followed was second to none. A young Debbie Moynes might just remember how

her Dad "Mac" enjoyed swinging that hammer to make a dream happen. Not only can every Picton Kinsmen be proud of his community but the community can also be proud of all the great achievments The Kinsmen accomplish for them.

Heal with Horses Therapeutic Centre making strides with autistic children Animals offer rare connection and comfort level Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

Wanda Morris could notice the difference in her son almost immediately. Morris' son Damon, who is autistic, first visited Hillier-based business Heal with Horses Therapeutic Centre earlier this year. Morris said it seemed as if bricks had been lifted off the 11 year old's shoulders almost as soon as entering the property. Opened in 2009, Heal with Horses offers Human Equine Assisted Learning (HEAL) utilizing horses, other animals, and a nature setting along with professional facilitation. The goal is to improve the lives of adults and children who suffer from several different neuropsychiatric and physical limitations. These include autism, Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Attention Deficit Disorder, depression, and anxiety. Morris said in three visits to the centre this year, she's seen definite change in

Damon. “He's verbal, but he doesn't speak outside of the home that much. He's really lacking in the socializing skills, but he'll speak to the animals,” she said. “You see the smile that you don't

often see in these autistic kids. He's just totally relaxed.” Morris said even for days after the visit she notices Damon's anxiety level drop. “I could actually tell the first night we were there …

we came home and I could just see such a difference in him, it was a couple of days before we saw any agitation or aggressiveness,” said Morris. “He just seemed so calm and mellow when he's there and when we leave.

He'll ask every day when we're going back.” She said Damon is slow to acclimate to new people, noting that it took him about five years before he would say much to a Community Living Prince Edward worker. But she said he's always been infatuated with animals. “We went to a petting zoo in Belleville, it has 10 animals and you could probably go through it in about 20 minutes. We were there three-and-a-half hours,” she said. “He's just so relaxed, you can just see the bricks coming off his shoulders.” Morris said she would recommend Heal with Horses to anyone. “I'm totally, totally amazed with it,” she said. Heal with Horses held an open house on Saturday to showcase some of the work they've been doing since opening. Owner Suzanne Latchford said while the business has been in operation since 2009, its expansion into special needs learning is a recent development. “There was a lot going on with autism and the numbers were growing so much,” she said. “I worked with a boy with autism just from the ground and saw how beneficial it was for him. From there I learned about the Horse Boy method.” The Horse Boy is an autobiographical book that follows Rupert Isaacson and his wife who seek treatment for their autistic son. The adventure takes them from Texas to Mongolia. Latchford said she brought Isaacson to Heal with Horses to learn about the Horse Boy method. “He developed the method just by trial and error, he noticed that when his son was on horseback he started to speak,” she said. Latchford said she feels autistic children can make a connection with the animals they may not be able to make with other people. She said the horses don't judge and are sensitive to their environment. “They're prey animals. They have that same sense of fear in a way because they're hunted,” she said. “The horses are aware of what's around them at all times and I think the autistic kids have that hyper sense of that as well, so they can just connect with them on a level that some of us can't.” Latchford said the ani-

mals act as a calming mechanism. “The sheer size of the horse helps people stay grounded in a sense,” she said. Latchford said there's science behind the practice. She said it has been clinically documented that interacting with animals can change brainwave patterns in humans. She said it's believed the rhythmic hiprocking motion created by riding releases the hormones oxytocin and serotonin, which she said makes riders feel good. Oxytocin has also been referred to as the “bonding hormone” while serotonin has been found to promote elevated mood. “Once that is released they feel sheer joy and their level of stress is minimized to the point where they can actually learn,” said Latchford. “You can get spontaneous communication from them, you can also slip in teaching them some mathematics — real based games, tag on horseback, scavenger hunt, we can go for a trail ride.” She said when working with autistic children she tries to involve parents and siblings as well. She said much of the programs are child led. “Especially with autistic kids, they can shut down really quickly. Our goal is to not let that happen, so we kind of follow their lead,” she said. Heal with Horses worker Amy Graham said the program allows for open-ended learning with things like the water wall. “It's something the child can do from the horse if they want to, they can do it from a platform. You can then just talk about where rain comes from, you can talk about gravity — it's very openended,” she said. She said fine and gross motor skills are developed through the use of sensory bins. “It's just this no-pressure learning style,” said Graham. Latchford said the animals help take away the feeling of being in therapy without taking away the actual therapy. She said it can be more welcoming and give the kids a chance to explore the world. Heal with Horses is located at 997 Danforth Road in Hillier and Latchford is a certified HEAL facilitator.

Wellington evaluates young hopefuls for upcoming season Two weeks after hosting Dudley Hewitt, Dukes host camp to help retool roster Jason Parks

Staff writer

It seems like just a couple of weeks ago the Wellington Dukes were a goal away from playing for a birth to the RBC Cup national championship. Actually, it was just a couple of weeks ago the 2013-2014 season ended for the local Junior A hockey team, but seasons start to meld together thanks (in part) to things like the activity taking part at the Essroc Arena last weekend. The Dukes hosted their annual spring evaluation camp, a chance for local and international prospects to get a leg up on making the 2014-2015 Wellington Dukes roster. Over 60 prospective Dukes were put through their paces in exhibition matches and Wellington Dukes coach and general manager Marty Abrams liked what he saw from the home grown talent. “I was really impressed with the local players in the 16- and 17-year-old age bracket,” Abrams told the Gazette this week. “The guys from the Quinte and Kingston areas had a really strong showing and that includes the netminders. Goaltending will be key for the Dukes in the upcoming season. After loading up on veterans for the Dudley Hewitt Cup championship, this coming years team (baring any major deals by Abrams) will likely be on the younger side. That might include a

young backup to Taylor Welsh who is expected to start the season as Wellington's number one puck stopper. Acquired last season as an insurance policy for the now graduated Tyson Teichmann, Welsh has grown on Abrams and looks to get a chance for primary goalkeeping duties when the team breaks fall training camp in mid-September. “Welshy is going to be our guy to start the season, He's got two years as the No. 1 guy in Orangeville so there's now reason he can't step in and assert himself as our top goalie,” Abrams said. Prior to camp, Abrams said 18-year-old forward Nick DeVito would be one that could impress at this camp. Well, DeVito did impress enough to have Abrams sign the Averill Park, New York native for the upcoming season. In 63 games in the United States Premier Hockey League last season, Devito counted for 45 points while suiting up for the South Kent Selects. “He came as advertised, he's a skilled player that make plays, he can skate, has tenacity, is an energetic player with overall skill and speed that we like,” Abrams said. One intriguing prospect trying to cut his teeth this past weekend was 16-yearold Aidan Girduckis.

Juniors step up to lead Panthers Injuries sideline perennial track and field stars, newcomers grab medals at Bay of Quinte finals Jason Parks

Staff writer

The fastest senior sprinter this side of Toronto went to the staring blocks about 9:30 a.m. Wednesday morning, went through his normal routine and exploded from the starting line in his normal, controlled method. But as PECI's Cole Norton sped along the Bruce Faulds Track, moving five to six metres ahead of the field in the final 100 m heat, he felt a tightening in his left hamstring. He cruised over the finish line in 11:28, the top time in the 34 man field but the race would be the one and only for the local speedster. Norton's secondary school track season came to a screeching halt before it barely got started as he will sit out the remainder 2014 with leg issues and the dreams of upgrading the Ontario Silver (200 m) and Bronze (100 m) medals he attained during a magical 2013 season remain just that-dreams. PECI track and field coach Bob Bell said Norton felt some discomfort after a weight training session earlier this month.

it differently tightened up in the 100-metre heat. He jogged the final and that

was it. He's been getting treated with physiotherapy but he's going to shut it down for the rest of the season and that's probably a good thing because he hasn't totally blown his hamstring up and if he continued to push on and push through, that's a real danger. He's got next season to focus on,” Bell said. The coach added Norton was upset at Wednesday's outcome. “He's disappointed but he sees the wisdom and taking some time off,” Bell said. The injury bug has also bit standout senior Mitch Reid. Reid grabbed a silver in the long jump (5.42 m) but was forced to jog the 200metre final after being seeded fourth due to a hip injury. “We will have to make a decision on Mitch (today) at (The Central Ontario Secondary School Athletics) meet,” Bell said. But minus starry outings from their two veteran performers, the PECI team was buoyed by a number of first -year performers.

midget boys sprinter to beat at the Bay of Quinte Track and Field competition, earning gold in the 100- and 200-metre sprints at the Bruce Faulds Track. (Jason Parks/Gazette staff)

Senior athletes also impress in their first competition

TRACK, from page 24

At the top of the pile was midget sprinter Keniel Warren who took home Bay of Quinte gold in the 100-metre (11.91 s) and 200 -metre (24.71 s) sprints. Bell was enthused by Warren's first Bay of Quinte meet. “It was a fantastic performance from a very talented young man and we're hopeful he may catch on with Quinte Legion Track and do some training and take it to the next level,” Bell said. “He mimicked what Cole Norton did in his midget year and he's got a great future ahead of him.” The quiet Grade 9 student-athlete turned some veteran heads Wednesday “I think he's finding the attention a little daunting and starting to realize that he's going be noticed but he's very quiet and unassuming and he's really taking it all in stride really well,” Bell added. Junior Josh Stecknicki also had an outstanding day for PECI, winning the long jump (5.60 m) and taking silver in the 100-metre (11.84) and triple jump (12.04 m). Fellow junior Lucas Clarke is one to watch today at COSSA as he had a great meet last week, winning a silver medal in the 200-metre dash (24.73 s), a bronze medal in the long jump (5.38 m) and fourth in the 100metre dash (11.93 s). PECI throwers were on their game as well Wednes-

day. Midget boy Aiden Wallwork won the javelin event (32.6 m)and also qualified for the Central Ontario championships in the shot put. “Aiden has those bloodlines being (2007 OFSAA bronze medalist) Ian Wallwork's cousin, and throws the same way that Ian did,” Bell said. On the ladies side, Vanessa Willis looks to be in line to continue the tradition of great PECI throwers as she captured the midget girls shot put (8.85 m), and won bronze in the discus (18.80 m) and javelin (17.04 m) competitions. Other Bay of Quinte champions included Trista Mckee-Arlidge who won the 100-metre dash and the 200metre dash in the blind athlete category. Some first-year track athletes making splashes Wednesday include three seniors wearing the panther colours for the first time at the Bay of Quinte meet. Senior Seth Van Vlack won silver in the long jump (5.44 m) while Aaron Bonham Carter was third in the 100-metre dash (11.68). Jamie Ferguson also had a nice Bay of Quinte debut in his last year of eligibility, qualifying in the long and triple jump. “They are all tremendous athletes and we've been bugging them for years to get out and try it and I think they are having a lot of fun so far. They are definitely kicking themselves for not getting out sooner,” Bell laughed.

Rossmore gym has strong showing at Storm The Trent adventure races Body Shop team tops in female elite four, solo male masters events and felt he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to miss a single class. Jacquie Blanchette, the gymâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s co-owner, and her teammates Kathy Smith, Jane Moodey, and Suzanne MacDonald claimed first place in the all-female elite four-person division. Blanchette was bused from Rice Lake to the Goodrich Loomis Conservation Area, near Brighton, and she had to find their way back to Rice Lake via mountain biking and trail running with many checkpoints that they had to collect along the way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of an Amazing Race meets Man Tracker type of event,â&#x20AC;? she recalled. Smith added that the team placed first, but also came in last since they were the only team of four women crazy enough to enter in their

category. Meanwhile, the Body Shop Barbarians menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four team, consisting of Dave Rutherford, David Little, Keenan Wardaugh, and Jake McGory also had a good day on the trails as they came in fifth in a very competitive category of racing teams. The Storm the Trent race has been staged for 13 years and for the past seven years, it has been considered eastern Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best adventure race by Get Out There Magazine. It is advertised as Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest and most inclusive gathering of mult-sport adventurers . Those interested in learning more about adventure racing can call Blanchette at 613-827-4159.

ClearWater Design backs Canadian Touring Car crew

Sophiasburgh kayak and canoe manufacturer is looking to make a new splash on dry land for a good cause. The companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s co-owner, Ian Crerar, a rally racing veteran, recently acquired an Audi A5 racing car to drive on the Canadian Touring Car Championship circuit with seven events this summer. The company has teamed up with Montreal-based recreation equipment distributor Yanes and Blumen Garden Bistro to sponsor the car on the circuit. Some 10 per cent of the sponsorship earnings the car takes in will go to support Young Adult Cancer Canada, a charity that helps provide information, support, and opportunity for adults diagnosed with cancer. The car is bound to get some exposure for the charity as the Canadian Touring Car Championship will run next in Montreal June 6-8, the same weekend as the Formula 1 Grand Prix de Montreal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Running at the same event with the Formula 1 teams will be wonderful exposure for our charity and our sponsors,â&#x20AC;? Crerar said. Crerar started road racing last year after years of rally

The younger brother of Dukes power forward Abbott Girduckis, Aidan showed he was ready for the physical battles of Junior A hockey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There's a lot of intrigue to his game,â&#x20AC;? Abrams explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He's a gamer, He's ultra competitive and he's full of grit and sandpaper. He always gets the job done and it's really going to watch his progress. He could quite easily follow his brother's footsteps, play Junior C this year for seasoning and then jump into Junior A just Like his brother did.â&#x20AC;? Other top prospects included Austin Labelle and Shaw Boomhower of the Quinte Red Devils and Justynn Steven of the Greater Kingston Frontenacs.

racing and said he fell in love with the sport. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love the wheel-to-wheel competition. Rally requires precise driving skills, but this is more of a mind game, playing with the other drivers,â&#x20AC;? he said. Crerar learned the Audi A5 was for sale early Thursday morning and by 1 p.m. he was picking it up in Toronto. On Friday, his crew completely reprepped the car and he raced it to a secondplace finish the next day at the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park. Fans can watch to see how the ClearWater Design car is progressing on the Canadian Touring Car Championship web site at www.touringcar.ca. Crerarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife and business partner Michelle Laframboise continues to race rally cars. -Staff

Athletes training with the Body Shop X-Training Company in Rossmore showed they were ready for everything the Trent could throw at them. A contingent of athletes headed to Golden Beach Resort on Rice Lake earlier this month for the Storm The Trent adventure race, which consists of mountain biking, trail running, and paddling together in one competition. Kevin Michael was part of the Rossmore team that headed to Rice Lake and despite the fact he was taking part in his first adventure race, he easily won the solo male masters category. Michael indicated that he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have done what he did on course without the motivation provided by his gym, noting he was grateful for the training he received

H O R O S C O P E S

ARIES (Mar 21/Apr 20) Aries, your thoughts are distant right now, almost as if you're living in a fantasy world. This is creatively beneficial but not so helpful for practical tasks. TAURUS (Apr 21/May 21) Taurus, if you're not careful, you could find yourself debating family and friends this week. Instead, try to sit back and listen rather than fostering debate. GEMINI (May 22/Jun 21) Gemini, a realization about what is really important to you instills a renewed sense of confidence this week. You will be focused on important things. CANCER (Jun 22/Jul 22) Cancer, if your finances seem like they are in a state of upheaval, it could be because you have not looked at everything in black and white just yet. Make some changes. LEO (Jul 23/Aug 23) You come on too strong sometimes, Leo. Those who know you best can handle this approach, but you can scare off potential new friends if you do not ease up. VIRGO (Aug 24/Sept 22) Be patient and do not demand too much of yourself during the next few days, Virgo. You need to keep your workload light; otherwise, you may get easily overwhelmed.

LIBRA (Sept 23/Oct 23) This is a time to discover the value of others, Libra. A willingness to try new things and delegate some responsibilities will free up your calendar. SCORPIO (Oct 24/Nov 22) Certain personalities don't always click, Scorpio. Don't feel the need to overcompensate for a strained relationship. Spend more time with those with whom you connect. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23/Dec 21) Flexible thinking is key, Sagittarius, especially as you face a few new challenges this week. There are some opportunities to reconnect with family later in the week. CAPRICORN (Dec 22/Jan 20) A rush of activity fills your calendar and keeps your phone ringing off the hook, Capricorn. Your challenge will be separating the pressing events from others. AQUARIUS (Jan 21/Feb 18) Aquarius, paperwork has built up and requires more time than you had originally planned. There is no way to avoid this task, but a helper can make it move more quickly. PISCES (Feb 19/Mar 20) Moderation is your mantra for the week, Pisces. Do not let the pendulum swing too far in either direction.

Racers were in fine form at Saturday's Arm Drop drag races at Loch Sloy Business Park in Picton. Hundreds had already showed up to watch the races on Saturday and dozens more cars streamed in throughout the afternoon to watch the action. The day’s participants laid down a thick layer of rubber at the start of the track. Billowing clouds of smoke wafted over a cheering crowd as drivers did some burnouts to warm up their tires prior to meeting at the start line. Vehicles of all shapes and sizes took part in the action including some classic-inspired machines, trucks and cars, as well as high-performance racers. Drivers travelled from across the region to take part.

EOWC asks Junior Cyclones reach tournament final candidates Organizer hopes for more county schools to answer in three-pitch field Jason Parks questions Staff writer

Staff writer

The Eastern Ontario Wardens' Caucus is seeking answers to a few questions posed to election candidates from across the region. The EOWC issued a press release last week detailing some of the region's primary concerns leading into the June 12 provincial election. The release says EOWC is trying to address the concerns of ratepayers within its 103 member rural municipalities. EOWC chair Jean Paul St. Pierre says in the release the caucus wants to send a message to the province. “The EOWC wants to get the message out to election candidates: municipalities have given the province a decade to accept responsibility for its own costs — and, as we know, Eastern Ontario has little capacity to raise revenue, in terms of both income and property,” he said in the release. Three global questions were developed for candidates to address in the region's ridings. The questions are: Will you honour the upload agreement and reject downloading? What is your plan for Eastern Ontario's roads and bridges? How will you promote more affordable emergency services? “The EOWC is inviting election candidates across rural Eastern Ontario to recognize the region’s priorities and concerns, to respond to them publicly, and to incorporate these issues into their own election campaigns,” the release says. The release says the strategy is primarily based on the EOWC's 2014 priorities which were established early in 2014 and delivered to provincial ministers at this year's Rural Ontario Municipal Association/ Ontario Good Roads Association combined conference. “Infrastructure funding cannot come at the expense of uploads or new downloads that increase other costs. You cannot rob Peter to pay Paul,” said St. Pierre. The EOWC worked with the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) on the strategy. The release says the organization believes all of the issues and concerns of rural Eastern Ontario are covered in the three questions. EOWC vice chair Linda Thompson said municipalities can't afford to spend more on infrastructure. “Eastern Ontario municipalities are spending less than half of what they need on infrastructure. Our property taxpayers are maintaining 69,000 lane-kilometres of road and 5,000 structures — this is simply not sustainable,” said Thompson in the release. “I am proud that the EOWC has once again taken the lead on advancing its priorities to the province.”

It was a dramatic turn of events at the Carrying Place softball diamonds Thursday as the C.M.L. Snider Cyclones forced extra innings in the final game of the inaugural Quinte-area junior threepitch tournament. After finishing the preliminary round in second place, the Cyclones were poised to win the five-team softball showdown until a close play at the plate gave the top seeded Prince Charles Wildcats a 15-14 win. And while a victory would have been nice, C.M.L coach Chris Lawlor said the most important goal was achieved. “The students had a great time judging by the smiles on their faces,” Lawlor said of his team comprised of Grade 4-6 boys and girls. While the intermediate (Grade 7 and 8) ball players will get together next month for their annual showdown, this tournament was a pilot project developed by Wellington resident and Trenton educator Marty Cocklin. “The tournament was extremely well run, organized and it ran on time,” Lawlor

said. “It would be great if there were an annual junior tournament like we have for the intermediate students.” Cocklin said that's his goal for next year. “We ended up with the five teams and C.M.L. was the only county school participating this year but we would like to see it grow and include more teams. There was a lot of time and focus put into this event and it ran pretty smoothly so I can't see

why we won't expand it next year.” While Cocklin works in Trenton and was unbiased in his role of tournament convener, he wouldn't have minded seeing his former alma mater take home the title. “C.M.L. was very good and well prepared and I think that speaks to coach Lawlor,” Cocklin said. “The Cyclones had a great tournament.”

Things to consider before downsizing your home

The decision to downsize a home is often bittersweet. Many couples who downsize their homes do so after raising a family. A home might be filled with memories, but downsizing a home helps couples save more money, and that financial flexibility often allows men and women to more fully enjoy their retirement. But in spite of the financial impact of downsizing a home, there's more than just money at stake for homeowners thinking of downsizing their homes. The following are a handful of factors homeowners should consider before downsizing to a smaller home.

Real estate market

The real estate market can be a seller's friend or foe. Many sellers have a sale price in mind when they decide to sell their home, but the real estate market can be fickle, so homeowners should do their research before putting

their home up for sale. Will the current market make it easier for you to get the most for your home, or will you have to settle for less than you prefer? How fast are similar homes in your area selling? When studying the real estate market, it's also a good idea to study the market for smaller homes. If you plan on moving into a condominium but the market is not flush with properties, you might end up paying more than you want to for your new home, which might negate the savings you can expect from downsizing.

Furniture

When downsizing to a smaller home, many couples realize their current furniture is unlikely to fit into a smaller home. That means couples will have to sell or donate their current furniture and then buy all new items for their new home. If it's been a while since you purchased new furniture, you

might be in for some sticker shock on your first visit to the furniture store. Another thing to consider regarding your furniture is which items you simply can't live without. An antique dinner table might have been the centerpiece for your family holidays over the last several decades, but there's no guarantee it will fit into your smaller home. You may want to pass this down to your son or daughter, but that's only possible if he or she has the room for it. Before deciding to downsize, consider your attachment to certain items that you may or may not be able to take with you to your new home and the emotional toll that selling such items might take if you're left with no other options.

Proximity to family

When downsizing to a smaller home, many couples move out of the suburbs and into cities or towns with

more ready access to culture and restaurants. While that accessibility is great, grandparents may find that it comes at the cost of less time with their grandchildren. That's a steep price to pay for doting grandparents, and it may also impact your children if they frequently rely on grandma and grandpa for babysitting. Before downsizing, consider if you're willing to move further away from your family. If not, you likely can still find a smaller home in close proximity to your current home and any nearby family Older couples must consider a host of factors before members. deciding to downsize their homes.

been visiting the same physician for years, you may not want to move and have to start all over again with a physician who is unfamiliar with your medical history. Consider how much maintaining your existing relationship with your physician means to you, and if your next home will provide the kind of access to medical care you're likely to need. Downsizing a home is not just about moving into a smaller property. To ensure you're making the right decision, many factors must be considered before downsizing.

Many older men and women must also consider the effect that moving may have on their medical care. Downsizing to a home in the country may make it harder to maintain contact with your current physician, and rural areas typically have less medical practitioners than more densely populated towns and cities. In addition, if you have

IMPRESSIVE COUNTRY HOME Plan No. SHSW02233

This country-flavored design offers a lovely exterior and a family-friendly layout that offers surprising amenities. Through the foyer, a study sits to the left; with the adjacent full bath, it can easily serve as a guest room. The formal living room on the right could also do double duty as a media zone or den, especially if modified to have doors. Further back, the dining room opens to the covered porch so that you can enjoy views while eating. The relaxed family room in back opens to the kitchen to form a casual living space. A snack bar serves three, while the breakfast nook enjoys lots of sunlight from surrounding windows. An island adds extra work space in the kitchen, and skylights brighten the room. Step out from the family room to the porch, which extends the entire width of the house and wraps around the sides, too. The master suite forms a comfortable retreat with a bay window, dual walk-in closets, and a well-appointed bath that features a corner garden tub, separate shower, and two sinks. Three bedrooms upstairs share two baths and a sitting loft.
