Neighbourhoodstruck again by
hateful vandalism
For the second and thirdtime this year, a Pictoncommunity has been thetarget of hate graffiti.
Residents of a Rich-mond Street housing com-plex awoke last week twiceto anti-semitic and whitesupremacist messagesspray painted on a car portwall and a front door.
Twice in the span of fourdays, two homes were grat-ified, one saying 'Jews Die”while the other had theacronym for the Klu KluxKlan (KKK).
These horrifying andsenseless attacks come justa few months after theentrance of a residence afew doors away was spraypainted with homophobichate slogans bearing thewords “die dyke.”
Richmond Street resi-dent Don Markland saidthe first incident of hatespeech showing up on thewall of his car port tookplace early last week.
After the incident wasreported to Prince EdwardOPP and the wall repaint-ed, the party returned twonights later to deface theproperty with hate speechagain.
Markland is somewhatconfused at the graffiti thathas shown up on his wallas he and his family aren't
Jewish, however, he thinksthe person(s) perpetratingthe supposed hate crimeshave run out of ideas.
He believes after thesecond time vandals hit hiscar port, they called him inthe early morning hours.
“I got a call at 4:19 a.m.From a pay phone outsidethe skatepark,” Marklandsaid. “Whoever it washung up and I looked out-side and there it wasagain.”
Next door, the home ofKathy Taylor was also van-dalized.
Taylor looks after hergrandchildren, who areBlack Canadians, and saidshe is scared after her homehas been attacked twice.
“It's terrible, not beingable to sleep and lookingout every night,” she said.
While the incidentshave been reported to localpolice, Markland said heand his neighbours believethey have an idea who theKrylon culprit is.
“What we need here isto catch the person in theact and have a little streetjustice,” Markland said.
Recently, Ontario hasstrengthened a regulationunder the Victims' Bill ofRights to make it easier forvictims of hate crimes tosue offenders for damagessuch as emotional distressand bodily harm arisingfrom the distress.

Old-time fun as Cherry Valley turns 200Athol community looks back fondly on its founders
It's hard to know whatAlva Stephens might havethought to see cars liningboth sides of the roadwayin his beloved Cherry Val-ley, to taste pizza or milk-shakes, or to listen to rockmusic.
On Saturday, that wasvery much a picture of thecelebration in the commu-nity Stephens named about200 years ago in memory ofhis hometown in NewYork. Perhaps, the youth ofthe village could haveasked him as his ghost,portrayed by Brian Con-way, roamed the village.
He was just one of anumber of colourful faceson display during theCherry Jubilee planned bythe Athol Recreation Com-mittee to remember thattwist of fate.
"The committee wantedto put on a party for thecommunity to celebratecommunity and also thehistory of the town," said
organizer Kato Wake. "Wedressed up as historical fig-ures from the time to cele-brate the 200 years of Cher-ry Valley and Athol."
Wake said there is somediscrepancy in the docu-mented history of the area,so it isn't known the exacttime when Stephenshelped found the village,but they felt confident thecelebration fell very closeto the bicentennial mark.The event was a nice blendof new and old.
Recreation committeemembers Susan and GlennWallis worked to create ascavenger hunt that wouldtake visitors to key housesin the community whereplaces like the bank andthe general store oncestood. Guests were alsoencouraged to speak to thecharacters on display, likeStephens and temperanceadvocate Letitia Youmansduring their quest.
"We just had a lot of funwith it," said Wake, whoadded the day was alsopassed with some old-fash-
ioned games like a cherry-spitting contest and athree-legged race.
The Cherry Valley LionsClub also joined in by mov-ing its car show and funday — which continues thetradition of Athol Days —onto the same weekend asthe anniversary celebra-tion. There, there wasOlympic-themed fun pre-sented by Come Alive Out-side, a variety of vendorsand some music by theBrown family.
On Main Street, E.Z.Country South performedduring the day, while LittleBluff were the featuredband for an evening danceat the Athol Town Hall.
Wake said she hopes theCherry Jubilee maybecome an annual celebra-tion in the future. Anotherthing she's optimistic aboutis that through the celebra-tion, one of the village'sprime characteristics maybe brought back to the fore-front in the years to come.

The roar returned to theHayward Long Reach if onlyfor a few moments this pastweekend when the Bay ofQuinte Poker Run rumbledtoward Picton.
About 60 boats, includinghigh-performance models ca-pable of traveling in excess of90 kilometres per hour andsmaller family and fishingvessels moved between sta-tions in Belleville, Trenton,Deseronto, and Picton to gainpoker cards that could givethem a chance at winningsome big prizes.
The turnout impressed or-ganizer Bill Taylor fromPoker Runs America.
“We had a wonderfulweekend and it was a fabu-lous show,” he said. “Every-one — and I mean everyone— on the Bay of Quinte gottogether to help make us wel-come.”
With about five monthsplanning, the event still drewcrowds with in excess of 150people on the water andmany more on shore at thevarious locations.
Taylor estimated thatmore than 100 people were inPicton harbour as the boatstaxied in to receive theircards, while estimates atBelleville’s Meyers Pier sug-gested more than 2,500 spec-tators turned out.
“There were a lot of peo-ple in Picton and Trenton, Icouldn’t tell the numbers,and in Belleville you justcouldn’t find room,” he said.
While those spectatorsturned out to see the horsepower behind some of theprofessional performanceboats, Taylor said freedom isthe main draw for boaters ofall stripes to enter poker runsaround the world.
“It’s the freedom of thewaterway, it’s kind of our lastfrontier today,” he said.“There’s no stoplights out inthe middle of a lake, sothere’s a tremendous amountof freedom available.”
Taylor also said that whilea poker run may be competi-tive, it isn’t a race, so that al-lows for a safe event for allinvolved. He said, certainly,there are performance ele-ments that attract speed-seekers, but the whole eventcomes down to chance.
Teams are trying to collectpoker hands to win prizes.
“At each stop, each boat isgiven an envelope with aunique card in it. No one wasable to open the envelopesup, or they’d lose,” he said.“Speed has no bearing on theoutcome.”
Belleville’s Patrick andGwen Bray topped the eventwith a five-card flush. Theywere sailing in a 42-foot Sonicwatercraft.
Doug Johnston enteredthe rendez-vous portion ofthe event, designed to in-clude a broader range of
recreational boaters. TheGananoque man collectedthree nines while driving his17-foot Wilker. He justbested Brockville’s Brian andJanet Lundy, who collectedthree eights in their 43-footNortech craft.
All of the winners beingrelatively local didn’t sur-prise Taylor, who noted therewas about a 50/50 split be-tween local boaters and visi-tors to the area.
“Next year, that will prob-ably get to about 80 per centvisitors,” he said. “It’s goingto grow.”
Taylor said his companyalso operates a poker runfrom Kingston to Prescott,which is widely acknowl-edged to be the biggest in theworld with more than 6,000boats on the water — someparticipating, some watch-ing. He has high hopes thatas an established boatingarea, the Quinte region canrival that event in the near fu-ture.
“That’s how big we hopeBelleville can be,” he said.
That is music to the ears ofBay of Quinte tourist councilchair Ryan Williams.
“It was worth about$200,000 this year. That’sboaters using transient slips,
visiting our restaurants andaccommodations and withthat, a lot of money is cominginto the communities.”
Williams said he was re-ally encouraged by the factthe poker run showcases the
entire region and not just onemuncipality. He credited or-ganizers at each card stop fortheir efforts to get the tourrunning in short order.
Next year, to boost theevent, he said there will bemuch more lead time for pro-motion and organization.
“This year, we planned itin five weeks. It was impres-sive in the time we had,” hesaid. “The biggest gauge ofsuccess is they’re going to doit again next year.”
Williams said next year, hehopes to see the rendez-vousevent grow to include at leastdouble the 11 smaller vesselsthat joined in the activity.
Taylor indicated he wasalso pleased at the generoussupport the participants of-fered for the Ride The Wavecampaign for prostate cancerresearch.
“One of seven maleboaters will be affected bythat disease,” he said. “We’rehappy to help that cause.”

The Eastern Ontario PhotoShow is living up to its name.Organizers of the CLIC
photo show — which kicksoff this Saturday at 7 p.m. inthe 2nd Floor Gallery aboveBooks & Company in Picton— say a higher percentage ofentrants than ever have comefrom outside of Prince Ed-ward County.CLIC Eastern Ontario
Photo Show co-chair Su-sanne Barclay said the call forentries went out this spring
and 335 photographs from116 photographers were sub-mitted. Out of those, 123photos were chosen for theshow from 78 photogra-phers. Barclay said 40 percent of the entries this yearcame from photographerswho hadn't submitted workto the show before. About 30per cent of the total entriescame from county residentswhile 70 per cent of entriescame from across the rest ofeastern Ontario.“What's interesting this
year is — and we are theEastern Ontario Photo Show— we clearly are the EasternOntario Photo Show now,”she said.Barclay said it's exciting to
know the show is attractingmore and more photogra-phers from across the region.“The message is getting
there. This is our third yearso we would hope thatwould be happening, butclearly it is — it's great,” shesaid.Three well-known pho-
tographers -— John deVisser, Phil Norton, andSusan Holland — formed ablind jury, looking at thephotographs in a dark roomon a screen. They did notknow anything about thephotographers and scoredeach image on technical andcreative merit. The jurors willbe returning on Saturday tosee the hung show and to se-lect the award winners.“For the first time this
year the judging of awards isgoing to be on the final,printed, framed presenta-tion,” said Barclay. “In previ-ous years the judging forawards was done from thedigital image … this year wedecided the print quality andframing is really an integral
part of how a work presentsitself.”Awards will be presented
to the first, second, and thirdplace photographs in all ofthe the adult and studentcolour and black and whitecategories, plus the “Best InShow” award. Honourablementions may also be cho-sen.Barclay said there's no
doubt about the quality ofthe artwork.“We're thrilled, this year
again we have an incredibleshowing. The quality is un-believable, ” Barclay said. “Itis really brilliant. We did theintake on the weekend andwe were just awed by thestuff that was coming in.Every year it gets better —it's really is quite remark-able.”Barclay said many still
don't consider photographyan art form. She said oneonly has to glance at some ofthe work to realize the oppo-site is true.“If you came to this show
you would see the quality ofartistic talent that is outthere,” she said. “This is justanother medium for that ex-pression.”She said the technical abil-
ity, creativity and range ofsubject matter makes theshow a worthwhile experi-ence for anyone.“I would really encourage
people to come,” she said.The show takes place
from Aug. 4 to Aug. 12. Ad-mission is $2 for adults andkids age 12 and under arefree. The show will be open10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday toSaturday, on Sunday Aug. 5until 5 p.m. and until 2 p.m.on Sunday Aug. 12.

Social Notes
The Picton Gazette 5THURSDAY, AUGUST , 2012
Today is my father ‘s birth-day. If he were still alive, hewould have turned 105 today.As it was, he lived to the ageof 96, passing away one night,not many days after receivinga clean bill of health. As I wrote in my book
about the farm, he just woreout from years of milkingcows, picking stones offfields, stumbling over clumpsof clay, and worrying aboutthe price of fertilizer andseed.The only thing to have
failed him in his final dayswas his mind. On previousvisits that final year, he wasstill worried about his cowsand if I was making out okaywith the farm work. He hadforgotten that we had all re-tired from farming some 28years earlier, but I carried onwith every conversation asthough we were still thererounding up the cows fortheir nightly milking, com-bining grain and baling hay. That he was happy in his
final days was paramount. Iwould like to think that hisfinal thoughts as he passedaway that night was notabout the nursing home inwhich he spent his final days,but about the farm that heloved so dearly.I would also like to think
that his longevity, as well asmy mother s, can be attrib-uted to their love of the out-doors and building up animmunity to things that bringmany of us to our kneestoday, like allergies whichwere unheard of, drinkingunpasteurized milk, anddrinking water that was nottreated with reverse osmosis,carbon and ultraviolet radia-tion. We never got the flu.Hadn t heard of it, althoughmy father often spoke aboutthe grippe , the forerunner, I
guess, of today s flu. We sel-dom got colds. Anythingworse than a cold was merelya bad cold.Farming, despite its set-
backs like this summer’sdrought, is a good life and Iam convinced that farmershave a much healthierlifestyle than some of us pam-pered folks today. Spendingmuch of my time outdoors,leading interpretive hikes andstudying nature, has allowedme to extend that healthylifestyle, and I would like tothink that those who registerfor my events are the betterfor it. Certainly, there is no stop-
ping some of them.A few ofthem are well into their 70sand 80s and have no issues atall with 12 km hikes. Forthem, it is just another day ofhiking, somewhere different.Lifestyle factors do have a
profound impact on healthduring late adulthood. Wehave all heard the commer-cials, exercise strengthens theheart and reduces the risk ofheart disease. However, noone in our group to myknowledge lifts heavyweights or run marathons.
Simply, they adopt a regu-lar routine of walking. Itserves to strengthen bones,improves coordination and ithas been shown that peoplewho walk regularly havefewer accidents and injuries.It is pretty sad when you seesomeone get in their car to de-liver a bag of garbage to thecurb side! And those whoread my column regularly al-ready know that the bane ofmy life are the able bodiedwho park in handicappedzones and sprint into the gro-cery store. And don t even getme started on the absurdity ofdrive-throughs. Walking pro-motes blood circulation, oxy-genates the brain andimproves our memory (I mayhave some work to do there!).It is also an effective preven-tion of cancer.Once we stop moving and
grooving, we start to decline.We came into this world witha purpose and to be an activedoer, not just a viewer. An ac-tive lifestyle is the key to ourlongevity, to our mental andemotional health, to a soundbody, and to a more joyfuland peaceful spirit. We be-come energized, awakenedand mentally uplifted. It reju-venates and revitalizes , moti-vates and empowers. It s akick start from the sluggish-ness of early morning andconnects us with our innerrhythms. American authorand poet, Henry DavidThoreau, once said, “Walkingis a blessing for the wholeday. Just the delight of move-ment is enough to refresh usfor the entire day, and thatconnection with nature makesit complete.”On days when I have to
leave early for a guided toursomewhere, it is refreshing tosee men and women of allages out walking, some of
them quite purposefully,along rural roads, sidewalksin town, campgrounds, trails,everywhere. It is exercisewithout expensive member-ships, and spirituality as closeas our backdoor, free for thetaking. A time for mind purg-ing and welcome inspiration. One does not have to walk
far to realize the benefits. Iwalk five kilometres everyday in the winter, fewer kilo-metres in the busy season,since walking during the op-erating season is already partof how I make a living. It s amatter of divesting oneselffrom the mindset that earlymornings are somehow offen-sive and that it is, in someperverse manner, impossibleto get underway until wehave had that third cup ofcoffee, or that it s too hot ortoo cold, or too windy or toowet. As someone from Napa-nee said to me one time,There is no such thing as badweather — just inappropriateclothes for the weather. My father routinely left his
tractor in the back forty, andwalked home across severalfields for lunch (we called itdinner). At the time I thoughtit was rather silly since thetractor could have broughthim home more easily. Per-haps he was subconsciouslyaware that this peculiar habitwas beneficial to his health. Iam looking forward to seeinghim again one day so I canthank him, but I am also hop-ing that it won t be for atleast another 30 years.

Another Prince EdwardCounty resident has fallen vic-tim to the notorious grandpar-ent scam.The Prince Edward OPP de-
tachment reported this weekthat a 73-year-old Pictonwoman was duped out of
$1,900 from a man who told herhe was in jail in Quebec andneeded bail money. A secondman also came on the phoneclaiming to be her “grandson’s”lawyer.After sending the money
through a Western Union
telegram, the woman becamesuspicious when she was con-tacted the next day and askedfor more money. She then re-ported the incidents to police. A nearly identical scam cost
a 79-year-old Picton woman$1,200 June 26.
The OPP is reminding resi-dents to hang up on suspiciouscallers and report possiblefraud to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501or at www.antifraudcentre.ca.

EVERY two years, people from around the worldturn to the Olympic Games as a venue where theycan see bright, young athletes — no matter theirnationality or political stripes — show the worldtheir promise as they strive to be stronger, faster, orhigher than anyone dared tread before.
Certainly, that’s an idealistic view of an athleticcompetition and a movement which has fallenunder scrutiny in recent years for judging scandals,for failing to keep athletes clean, and for essentiallycashing in on the exploits of those who dare to trainfor their dreams while entertaining the rest of us.
This year, however, the notion that these superbathletes are, in fact, people came crashing home in ahurry as two Olympians were found to have postedracist material on their Twitter feeds and expelledfrom the competition for their stance.
Though international competition raises thespectre of patriotism to an extreme level, the spiritof the Olympic movement is one that demandssportsmanship and a sense of the world comingtogether as one. By stripping the right of thoseathletes to compete in sports they’ve dedicated theirlives to, the International Olympic Committee(I.O.C.) effectively is sending a message that itexpects its athletes to set an example for all thosewatching around the globe. It is saying that there’sno place for that kind of backward thinking.
If that action is enough to make even one personthink twice when opening his or her mouth, than itwas worth the effort and the scorn from some whowould argue that type of censorship falls outside therealm of the purveyors of an athletic competition.
The fact those postings were even brought into thelight of the Olympics shows that racism and indeedmost other forms of hatred can rear their headanywhere and likely do when people turn a blind eyeto it and continue on with their lives.
Unfortunately, someone here in Picton doesn’tappear to be getting the message as twice this year,the members of a Richmond Street housing complexhave had to wake up to horrible things scrawled onthe walls of their neighbour hood and had to dealwith the unrest of wondering who harbours such illwill toward them and what they might do about it. Atleast in the Olympic incident, there was someone topoint the finger at. In this case, it’s a faceless threatwho prefers to work in the cloak of night.
Perhaps it is time for local law enforcement andcommunity leaders to take inspiration from thestandard being set by the I.O.C. and take action toensure that the whomever is responsible for suchhatred is not only caught, but publicly reprimandedfor their troubles to show the community someone isserious about ensuring people have a reasonablesense of security that no one in that neighbourhood orin Prince Edward County will wake up in fear again.
The Olympic movement has long been striving tofind and attain ideals. Safety and security for all is onethat should not be considered out of reach.

Every day it seems the hallsbecome quieter and quieter.Names have disappearedfrom doors – some forever –some to be placed on newdoors, but only temporarily.Upstairs, an entire wing hasbeen closed. Picture boxesoutside the doors are emptiedof their contents, never to befilled again.
I search for my mother,who is not in her room as it isnow part of the deserted hall-way. Stepping through theclosed door into the “new”wing of Picton Manor, I hearvoices coming from the din-ing room.
Faces which have grownfamiliar in the few months mymother has been upstairs,roam the hall or sit, holdingtightly to their purses, in thechairs that line the well trod-den path between the loungeand the eating area.
I find Mom in a gloriously
air-conditioned room, snooz-ing in her comfy chair, whichreally has become her prison.She cannot walk; she cannotsee, and more and more, shecannot vocalize her wantsand needs. I give her a kiss onthe top of her head and headfor the dining room to pick upher meal tray.
As always, the wonderfulpeople who care for the resi-dents of Picton Manor, the“Home with the Heart”, greetme with a smile and a pleas-ant word. There are fewerand fewer residents waitingto eat, but each one is stilltreated with kindness and re-spect. I take the tray ladenwith the pureed food mymom can only eat now, andthe cup of coffee that is al-ways waiting for my father orI as we take turns coming togive my mom her dinnerevery night. It has become aritual over the past few
months. We look forward toit and I think mom does too,although she cannot expressher thoughts to us. I believethe “girls” appreciate it too.
Dinner finished, I returnthe tray to the dining roomand have a chat with one ofthe caregivers. I ask her if sheis planning on staying untilthe end. She says most of theemployees want to stay. Theyknow the residents best –their little foibles, their likesand dislikes, how they com-municate their needs — anddo not want them to be left tobe cared for by strangers,who do not understand themand would not recognizetheir “special” needs the wayChris and Charlene and Elsieand Jennifer, and all the otherwonderful caretakers at Pic-ton Manor do. I appreciatethis, as my mother has been aresident of the home for sixyears.
Over the past year, Momhas become a shadow of her-self, no longer bursting intosong; not even able to speakmost times. Her shouts havebecome her way of communi-cating. A stranger would nothave known my mother.These marvelous people do,and accept her for who shewas and who she has become.
Picton Manor will be clos-ing soon; the place mymother was born and, I hadassumed, the place she wouldend her time with us. That isnot to be. However, “TheHome with the Heart” will al-ways be remembered by myfamily, and, I am sure, byhundreds of other families, asthe place their loved onescalled home, were cared for,and found peace.
My family and I thank youfor everything.

Saying goodbye to a special place in Picton
Can you imagine Main Streetin Picton without the Majes-tic Regent Theatre lit up inthe evening? I am writingthis letter because I feel thatas a community we are veryfortunate to have this beauti-ful historical theatre in down-town Picton as part of PrinceEdward County’s heritage.
It is that time of the yearagain when The Regent startsits annual membership drive.To give you some back-ground: the theatre is a year-round communityentertainment centre servinga wide range of audiencesand showcasing live theatre;live by satellite entertainmentfrom around the world; firstrun, classics and internationalfilms, and the free What-tams’s monthly movie forfamilies.
Also presented is a exten-sive range of live music in-cluding blues, country andjazz. This historical buildingthat will celebrate it’s 100thanniversary in a few years
has recently been extensivelyrenovated to provide in-creased comfort and seatingcapacity for 446 patrons,brand new washrooms, andmeets the latest accessibility,fire and safety standards.
This past year with thesupport of the communityand the help of a Trilliumgrant, the Regent was able tofully fund the purchase ofstate of the art digital equip-ment that now enhances theviewing experience and in-creases the Theatre’s access tofirst run movies.
Here are a few factsabout the Regent that I wasnot aware of and you alsomay not know. The RegentTheatre is a not-for-profit in-dependent community enter-prise and a registeredcharitable organization.
Over 35,000 people visitthe Regent annually makingthis historic theatre a majorcontributor to the county’soverall economy and gener-ating $2.4 million in eco-
nomic benefits. Unfortu-nately, as a result of previousfinancial difficulties, the Re-gent board (all volunteers)has inherited a large mort-gage which costs about$36,000 per year to service. Inall, it costs more than $1,000per day to operate the the-atre.
In order to provide a widerange of entertainment forevery taste while keepingticket prices affordable, theRegent relies on its base ofdedicated volunteers.Presently there are 125 volun-teers contributing approxi-mately 14,000 hours annuallyin every area: from box-office,to costumes, to fundraising.In all, even at the level of aminimum hourly wage, thiseffort amounts to a contribu-tion of over $210,000 in value.
The Regent also relies onthe direct contributions andthe community support of allits members. One third of theRegent’s budget is metthrough fundraising with
membership being a keycomponent. I was surprisedto learn that despite recentcampaigns, the Regent hasonly 450 members. This rep-resents less than two per centof the population of thecounty (25,000).
This wonderful historicaltheatre could not survivewithout the support of itsmembership base, so I wouldask you to please think veryseriously about purchasing amembership when the Re-gent Theatre starts its mem-bership drive in August.There are various levelsavailable starting at $50. As aregistered charity the Regentis able to provide a tax receiptfor most of your contribution.
In the meantime, if youwish to see and learn moreabout this amazing commu-nity institution, theatre tourscan be arranged by calling613-476-8416 Ext 26.

Water conservation measuresstepped up in Quinte regionThough there has beensome rain in the region re-cently, it hasn’t beenenough to allay concerns ofa water shortage.
On Monday, QuinteConservation declared aLevel 2 low water conditionfor its entire area, includingthe Prince Edward Countyand Moira, Salmon, andNapanee river watersheds.
“Rainfall is well belownormal for this time of yearand all of our river systemsare also well below normalsummer flows,” said QuinteConservation’s water re-sources engineer BryonKeene.
The declaration is a step
farther than the Level 1 con-dition Quinte declared lastmonth. According to Keene,it means that all non-essen-tial water usage should besuspended until further no-tice by people using bothprivate wells and municipalwater systems.
“We are asking allQuinte residents and busi-ness to reduce water usageby 20 per cent,” Keeneadded.
He also noted those onwells could also see a sharpdecline in their water sup-ply if the supply is not re-plenished soon.

TasTers’ choice Judge Sandy Latchford and her colleague Larry Cox (not pic-tured) selected Greg Bowerman’s entry as the best of the seven they tasted in the PictonLegion’s annual ribfest cook-off Saturday afternoon. (Submitted photo)
With a wide range ofsavoury and sweet, sevenentrants did their best toimpress the judges in thePicton Legion’s annualribfest Saturday afternoon.
“The entries were reallytasty. It was a tough jobdeciding, but we did it withgusto,” said one of thosejudges, Sandy Latchford.
Latchford and her fellowjudge Larry Cox of theWine Barrel workedthrough the entries beforedeciding that Wellington’sGreg Bowerman wouldtake the title as the topribber in this year’s event.Robyn Heather and BettyHall, both of Picton, round-ed out the top three entriesin the cook-off.
Meanwhile, a steadycrowd piled into tents on thefront lawn at Branch 78 toenjoy a cold drink, taste thehouse ribs and cook-offentries, and enjoy thesounds of the Quinte AirCadets band and the ever-popular Reasons.
“We’ve had an excellentday with an exceptionalcrowd considering the com-petition elsewhere in thecounty,” said organizer GilCharlebois, a member of thebranch executive.
Charlebois said the sec-ond annual celebration wasa fundraiser for the branch’sweighs and means commit-tee and the proceeds wouldbe used for general mainte-nance of the heritage facility.Previous social eventshelped pay for the replace-ment of the Legion’s roof.He added the generous sup-port of local businesseshelped with cook-off andsilent auction prizes.
In the coming months,the Legion also has twomore social events planned,its annual chili cook-off andan Oktoberfest party.
Charlebois said dedicat-ed volunteers make all of thefundraising events possible.

A County Community Foun-dation grant has allowedHospice Prince Edward to de-velop an In-Home ComfortResource Kit, the contents ofwhich were shaped by per-sonal experience.
Hospice executive directorNancy Parks said the packagegives family and friends ofthose with terminal illnessesa chance to ask questions in acomfortable environmentwhile building the confidenceto provide personal care.
“As far as I know thereisn't a kit like this anywhere,”Parks said.
The kit brings those care-givers together in the patient'shome and provides an expe-rienced hospice volunteer toexplain the items in the kit,which include body cream, aresource book on caregivingand a communication bookfor caregivers.
“These conversations areimportant because they allow— especially the client — thechance to have input as tohow the care and support isdelivered while gaining anunderstanding of what to ex-pect,” said Parks. “The focusof the Comfort Resource Kit isthe creation of a personalizedplan for your loved one'scomfort.”
Parks said she experi-enced the need for such a kitwhile supporting her friendJohan DeRoche. Parks said atthe time of DeRoche's diagno-sis, family and friends ralliedto support her and husbandTerry DeRoche.
She said she regularly vis-ited Johan throughout thattime, but it became evidentshe needed more informa-tion.
“I had lots of questions,but I didn't want to be abother to anyone. I didn'twant to bother Terry withthose questions and I didn'tknow who else to turn toabout them,” she said. “Fastforward nine months to whenJohan had passed away and Icame to hospice. From thattime I realized that what Ineeded at that time wasn'tavailable.”
She said throughout hertime with hospice she had theidea in the back of her mindfor some sort of program orproject to deal with the issue.
The kit also includes aroom-to-room monitor, woolsocks, a comfort quilt donatedby the Prince Edward Quil-ters' Guild, relaxing music, anelectronic photo frame and aplanner to keep track of med-ication times and other im-portant dates.
“Even though this kit haspractical items for the family,
it also is about conversa-tions,” Parks said. “My visionis that one of our more expe-rienced hospice volunteerswould go into the home in asituation like Johan's andTerry's and have a familymeeting and bring all thefamily and friends togetherand have a conversationabout how they would sup-port someone in their end oflife journey.”
She said the most impor-tant part of that is the patientwould actually be involved inthe decisions. She said this iskey because in that situationthe patients need to knowthey have at least some con-trol over their life.
Terry said along Johan'sjourney the family was con-stantly being bombarded
with decisions to be made. Hesaid dealing with it alonewould be unbearable.
“Fortunately for us a lot offamily and friends werethere, but they didn't have allthe answers either. That'swhere Hospice Prince Ed-ward stepped in,” he said.“Their professional team pro-vided answers to all ourquestions and assisted infinding the right medicalequipment and resourcesthat exist, but most peopledon't know about or how toaccess them.”
He said the comfort kit,along with the guidance of ahospice volunteer, wouldmake an immeasurable dif-ference to families in theirtime of need. He reiteratedthat, in that situation, many
families don't know who toturn to.
“I was at a loss in my situ-ation,” he said.
He said when people hearthey have a terminal illness,many shut out the world. Hesaid the program would helpbring them back. He saidsuch a thing happened whenJohan was paid a visit by hos-pice volunteer JocelynMatthewman.
“What she did was openthe book on everything thatwas available,” he said.
He said the kit wasn'tavailable then, but he said init he sees many things that hewas fortunate enough to findat that time, but many peoplemay not.
County CommunityFoundation executive direc-
tor Bridget Stevenson said thefact that the kit is based onpersonal experience is a keyreason the foundationthought it would be a legiti-mate program to fund whenhospice approached themabout a grant.
“Kudos to Hospice PrinceEdward for putting this to-gether,” she said. “This is awonderful thing.”
She said when the CountyCommunity Foundation firstsaw the grant applicationthey knew it was exactly thetype of thing they would beinterested in funding.
“One of our missions is touse our resources throughfundraising, through work-ing with donors, to meet com-munity needs. This wasobviously a significant needin the community,” she said.
She said the communityfoundation works to bring to-gether donors who want toaccomplish something signif-icant in the county and bringthem together with the needsof organizations.
“If we have an idea ofwhat's going on in the com-munity and what the needsare we can make significantchange and we can have along-lasting impact,” shesaid. “The in-home care kit isa great example of those twothings coming together.”
Stevenson said she hopedsimilar programs would bestarted in other communitiesas well.
Parks said a lot of items inthe kit have either been do-nated or sourced locally. Shesaid initially there will be 20kits available, but said theprogram will be ongoingthrough Hospice.

Two entrepreneurs willhave to wait a little longerto see if they will be able topurchase a section of sur-plus land from the munici-pality they say is needed tosecure financing for a newseafood restaurant on LakeStreet.
Lisa and GhislainGoudreau recently ap-proached the municipalityabout purchasing a 50 footby 150 foot triangular par-cel of municipally ownedproperty next to their prop-erty at 4 Lake Street adja-cent to Picton LCBO.
The sale was recom-mended to be approved bystaff, as they saw it as aneconomic driver, and aprice of $800 plus legal andsurvey fees was set basedon a property value of$4.30 per square metrewith a total area of 187 me-tres.
The sale was approvedat a June 28 committee-of-the-whole meeting, butcouncil decided to take amore cautious approachand, at their July 24 meet-ing, voted to have the issuereferred back to staff for afurther report at a futurecommittee-of-the-wholemeeting.
Several councillors wereconcerned that selling thepiece of property to a pri-vate owner could lead tofuture complications as theland has long served asoverflow parking for theLCBO. Others argued thesale price was below fairmarket value.
Councillor Alec Lunnwas among those con-cerned about future prob-lems at the site andinitiated the referral mo-tion. Lunn said he has al-ready been approached byseveral neighbouring resi-dents who were leery ofthe land being sold andsaid the price was also apoint of contention.
Councillor Janice May-nard agreed.
“It should come backand we should have a fur-ther look at it,” she said.“There's a lot of differentthings that little chunk ofproperty could possibly beused for.”
Councillor Jamie For-rester said significant prob-lems could develop if theland is sold.
“I'm not really sure weshould be selling offcounty property at such asmall amount. This is avery valuable corner and itties right into the Millen-nium Trail,” he said at lastweek's meeting. “There areall sorts of economic op-portunities we could use it
for in the long term.”Forrester said the mu-
nicipality wouldn't be ableto guarantee the ownerswould move ahead withtheir plans once the prop-erty is sold and as a resultcould further complicatethe issue.
“If we lose that cornerwe're going to have allsorts of congestion there,”he said. “If there was afence put up there or grasswe could have major trafficconcerns there.”
Picton councillor BevCampbell argued to the
contrary. She said theGoudreaus have alreadystated their intention to re-mediate the parcel as aparking area and would in-clude painted lines.
“When the report wasbrought to us to begin withthere was reference to theimpact of this move onparking for the LCBO,” shesaid. “As I recall it was ex-pected to be a positive im-pact on their parking, somekind of reconfiguration.”
The Goudreaus spoke tocouncil to reiterate thatthey are willing to work
with all neighbours andstakeholders and have nointention of disruptingthings with the purchase ofthe property.
Lisa Goudreau said sheintends to open a retailfresh and frozen seafoodrestaurant and has plansfor future developmentwhich would see the busi-ness open as a year-roundbusiness with 8–10 localemployees.
She said currently theproperty they own doeshave frontage to LakeStreet and access to the
property is through a mu-nicipally-owned deeded15-foot right of way accessacross the north easterncorner of the municipallyowned Millennium Trailand bordered on the otherside by the parking lot ofthe LCBO. She said inorder to secure funding for
the development of thecommercial property 50feet of frontage is required.
With purchase of theland the owners would beable to, according to a re-port from the June 28 com-mittee meeting, “visuallydelineate the driveway intoher business and to appro-priately assign parkingwithin her property.”
“This would also assistin the configuration ofparking for the Millen-nium Trail staging areaand assist in the structurethe traffic /parking patternin the empty lot,” the re-port says.
“What we want to try todo is obviously we want tocreate parking there andjust have it a little more or-ganized than what it isnow,” Lisa said. “Currentlytraffic parks on our prop-erty, so I don't think thatchanges anything becausethat's still our property. Ifwe have that frontage wecan designate parking andmake things a lot morestructured there.”
A date was not set forthe report to come back tocommittee of the whole.

Hundreds of cyclists sup-porting the 14th annualFriends for Life Bike Rallyrolled through Prince Ed-ward County on Monday insupport of the Toronto Peo-ple With Aids Foundation.The yearly event involved
close to 300 cyclists and 100crew who made their wayfrom Port Hope to Adol-phustown on Monday, thesecond day of a six-day, 600-km ride from Toronto toMontreal to raise funds andawareness for people livingwith HIV/AIDS.The Friends for Life Bike
Rally has raised more than $1million so far for TorontoPeople With AIDS Founda-tion (PWA). The foundationis Canada's largest directservice organization for peo-ple living with the condition.Event co-chair Tim
Ledger said so far thingshave been going well for theevent, which will concludeon Saturday.“It's actually been a fan-
tastic year. We've had greatweather and no incidents orinjuries on the way, so it's allgood,” he said. “When weleft on Sunday we hadreached $1.163 million thatwe've raised this year.”He said the event is vital
to PWA.“The rally raises approxi-
mately 36 per cent of PWA'sannual budget,” he said.“This is their signaturefundraising event.”
Ledger said awareness iseasily created by the colour-ful riders.“We raise awareness as
we go. This morning we rode60 kilometres, most of us inred dresses, so that certainlygets the attention of motoristsand people want to knowwhat's going on,” he said.“There are lots of people whohave all that information andpass it on as we go.”The riders left Toronto on
Sunday, and set out fromPort Hope on Monday head-ing east through Northum-berland County and intoPrince Edward. The ridersstopped for lunch at Hender-son's Bed & Breakfast inConsecon before headingpast Schroedter's Market-place in Bloomfield and into
downtown Picton. The ridersthen made their way toGlenora and boarded theferry before riding into Adol-phustown where they spentthe night.The event raises funds for
PWA which provides essen-tial services to many peoplein Toronto who are HIV pos-itive. Those living with thecondition are living longer,but a release from the foun-dation says they can havegreater challenges.“PWA’s core services like
food programs, treatment re-sources and financial assis-tance for men, transmen,transwomen, women andchildren living withHIV/AIDS in our commu-nity are more important thanever,” the release says.
Scotiabank is, and for thepast four years has been, thepresenting sponsor for theFriends For Life Bike Rally.The event has contributedmore than $10 million to thecause in the past 13 years.The event is a grassroots,
volunteer-driven fundraiserthat began in 1999 when twofriends on the board of direc-tors at PWA challenged oneanother to cycle fromToronto to Montreal to sup-port the foundation.Ledger said the event is
much different now than itwas then.“It's certainly a different
machine than it was,” hesaid. “In the first year theyhad 36 riders and crew. Thisyear we're about 285 ridersand 115 crew.”

For a fifth straight summer,members of the OPP’s ma-rine unit are hoping tocatch boaters in the act.
To be clear, the officerswould be pleased not topass out tickets for offenceslike drinking and boatingor improper equipment.
Instead, they’re hopingto find those boaters whoare staying safe by wearingtheir personal floatation de-vices (PFDs) in Prince Ed-ward County waters.
Thanks to a partnershipwith the Hastings andPrince Edward CountiesHealth Unit and the PrinceEdward Corrections Advi-sory Board, the OPP willagain be handing out 62 t-shirts with the provocativeslogan “I got caught by theOPP... wearing my PFD.”
Kim Guthrie, the com-munity service officer withthe Prince Edward detach-ment, started the programwith an eye on raisingawareness that PFDs havethe potential to save lives.
Guthrie said it is oftendifficult for people who arein the water to put on theirPFDs, expending energythey might need to stayafloat. She indicated thataccording to the NationalLifesaving Society, this yearthere have been 48 drown-ing deaths in Ontario and10 were boating related.
Wearing PFDs could haveprevent ed that.
Though the campaign isbeing launched this weekto mark national drowningawareness week, Guthriesays she encourages offi-cers to be selective with thet-shirts to ensure thecampaign lasts throughoutthe boating season.
The t-shirts screeningwas provided by PrinceEdward Embroidery.
Also this year, the OPPhas teamed up with thehealth unit to provide addi-tional reminders to boatersabout the importance ofwearing PFDs even alongthe shoreline while launch-ing their vessels.
Last year, they had “lifejacket zone” painted on theground at all the publicboat launches in the county.This year, they went fartherwith the health unit fund-ing the installation of yel-low signage with the samemessage on it.
“It’s a visual reminder.People see that and think,‘Well, maybe I should wearit,’” said Guthrie, whonoted the subject hits closeto home with her.
She indicated she had afamily member whostepped off the dock andinto the water missing theboat. Guthrie also indicatedthere have likely been inci-dents in the past whereboats have rolled down thedock, creating a potentiallyhazardous situation wheredrowning could occur.
“At any time, unex-pected incidents such astripping, slipping or unin-tentional contact while
around boats may result ininjury and death if a personfinds themselves suddenlyin the water,” she said.
Cindy Kirkpatrick, apublic health nurse, is partof a new team working onpromoting water safetythroughout the two coun-ties.
She said her team is at-tempting to promote manyof the same messages thehealth unit has been work-ing with the OPP to spread
over the past five years.According to Kirk-
patrick, the basic messageincludes wearing a PFD,learning CPR, takingswimming lessons, keep-ing children near waterwithin arm’s reach, notmixing alcohol with boat-ing, and observing childrenwhile swimming. Kirk-patrick also stressed theimportance of fencing en-closures around swimmingpools.

Have a happy and safe summer!

There's an old saying thatgoes something like "ourhome is our castle" but ifyou take a drive down Wil-son Road in the countyyou'll come across a couplethat says "our home is ourwinery"!
Rob and Sally Peck arewhat’s known as "garag-istes", meaning they pro-duce small batches ofpremium wine out of theirgarage. Wikipedia (I don'tmake this stuff up!) refersto garagistes as a group ofinnovative winemakers inthe Bordeaux region, pro-ducing vins de garage, or"garage wine".
When you drive up tothe Peck's house you see noevidence of a winery (otherthan the sign at the bottomof their driveway) but ifyou catch them with one oftheir three garage doorsopen you'll see that theylive up to the definition asit is filled with all sorts ofwinemaking equipment.
The county is home tomany tasting rooms; lo-cated in old barns and inseparate buildings awayfrom the winemaking facil-ities. At Sugarbush you willfind that if you walkaround to the back of thehouse there is an outdoorpatio that leads into a largetasting room, also in theirhouse.
Sally was born inChester, England and im-migrated to Montreal withher parents just before the1976 summer Olympics.Rob was born and raised inthe county. He is a UnitedEmpire Loyalist descen-dant, and his family haslived in the County since
the mid-1780s (Rob iseighth generation county)
They had a dream ofowning a winery that cameto them during a tour of theOkanagan Valley in 1997. Itremained just a dream untilthe summer of 2000 whenthey came to visit Rob'sparents here in the county.
By Christmas of thatyear, they had purchased a48-acre property dottedwith sugar maple trees inthe county and were readyto become vintners. Sugar-bush Vineyards was pickedfor their vineyard name, asthe back 6-7 acres of their48 acre property containssugar maples.
While they don’t sellthrough the LCBO, theirPinots and Chardonnaysare available in restaurantsin Toronto, Ottawa andnearby Kingston. Sally saysthat many people visit theirstore in the county basedsolely on the recommenda-
tions of friends. That's thepower of word of mouthadvertising; if you have agood product word will getout.
They strive to producesmall quantities of hand-crafted premium-qualitywines sourced entirelyfrom their vineyard. Theywant to be able to manageand perform all aspects oftheir operation and, at thesame time, have an enjoy-able lifestyle. In order to dothis, they decided to staysmall. That's why theirwines are only available attheir retail store and at anumber of eastern Ontariorestaurants (although theycan be ordered online andwill be delivered free ofcharge in Toronto and Ot-
tawa). In the next few years
they will reach their peakproduction of 1,500 casesper year.
Their vineyard is herbi-cide free and all of theirweed control is performedmanually. They keepmowed grass down their al-leys, and use a grape hoeand hand hoes to removeweeds between each vine inthe row. This is more expen-sive and time consumingbut they believe that this ismuch better for the longterm health of their farm.
Although they wouldlike to be totally organic,they have found that it is avery difficult proposition.They only use organic in-secticides (kaolin clay for
leaf hoppers; pheromonemate disrupting ties forgrape berry moths), but inorder to maintain a healthyvineyard in this climatethey use a combination oforganic and inorganicfungicides during thegrowing season.
They have 10 acres (fourhectares) of vines. Theyplanted 8.5 acres (CabernetFranc, Gamay, Pinot noir,Chardonnay, Riesling, andGewürztraminer) during2002 and 2003 and added1.5 acres (Gewürztraminerand Viognier) in 2012.
The Pecks opened theirwinery retail store in Sep-tember 2007 after their firstharvest in the fall of 2006and are planning a five-year celebration this com-
ing September.A visit to the county to
sip some wine should defi-nitely include a visit tothese modern day county"garagistes".
And summer time is notthe only time to visit andtaste some great wine asthey invite people to stopby in the spring when thesap is flowing from theiracres of maples to makemaple s'mores at their firepit. And be sure to askwhat wine pairs with that.

Right at home Rob and Sally Peck have literally opened their home to their winemaking business. They use theirgarage for production and also have a tasting room right inside their house.

If you’ve decided to sellyour home, it’s time to startthinking like a buyer. Askyourself what you can do toimprove your home andproperty to make it as ap-pealing as possible to poten-tial buyers.
Giving your home ‘curbappeal’ will improve itssaleability which is some-thing your Realtor can helpyou with. The Ontario RealEstate Association (OREA)and your local Realtor offerthe following tips and lowcost suggestions to attractpotential buyers and to sell
your home quickly, for thebest possible price.First impressions
countThe outside of the home
speaks volumes about whatthe inside may look like.Often potential buyers won’tget past the front door if theoutside of a home looks rundown or shabby. Your Real-tor may suggest some simplequick fixes like applying afresh coat of paint to thegarage door, planting flow-ers or shrubs and cleaningthe windows. Quick fixesare worth the minimal in-vestment as they not only in-
crease the saleability of yourhome, but could potentiallyadd value equal to or morethan what you spent onthem.
With that in mind, yourRealtor will likely cautionyou to stick to minor im-provements. Bigger, moreexpensive renovations or re-pairs are usually reflected ina home’s price, so if you’vedone any major updating toyour home, you’ll want togive careful consideration toall of your investments.
What’s most important isthat your home looks well-cared for and maintained.Take a close look around the
outside of your home and as-sess what needs to be done.Things like fixing windowscreens, replacing the oddloose roof shingle and re-pairing door hinges are rela-tively simple and advice isavailable at your local homeimprovement centre.
Mind the insideTake a tour of the inside
of your home to see whatneeds to be cleaned, clearedout, or repaired. Rooms willappear larger and more invit-ing when you remove bulkyor unused furniture and re-arrange the remaining piecesto make the best use of
space.You want potential buy-
ers to walk through thehouse and visualize thespace as their own. To helpthem along, your Realtorwill suggest that you “deper-sonalize” your home asmuch as possible.
A checklist of everythingyou need to do to prepareyour home for sale can befound in the Ontario RealEstate Association’s booklet,How to Sell your Home. Fora free copy, contact OREA at1-800-563-HOME or checkwith your local Realtor.

There is a silver lining inthe waters near Windsor,England for Brian Price.Price, who was born in
Belleville but spent most ofhis formative years inAmeliasburgh and attend-ed Kente Public School,added to his Olympicmedal count early Wednes-day morning. The team's coxswain was
aboard the Men's Eight row-ing craft as it charged hardthrough the final 500 m of the2,000 m race to nip the entryfrom Great Britain and cap-ture the silver medal.The silver medal now
goes with the gold medalPrice won in Beijing, Chinain 2008.In interviews after the
race, Price said the silvermedal was very special tohim, considering Canadawas the front runner in2008 and completed the jobthat was expected of themin Beijing.Wednesday's silver fin-
ish was “developed” overthe past two years, accord-ing to Price.A survivor of leukemia
that stunted his physicalgrowth as a youth, the 5'4”
Price has served as thecoxswain in Canada'smen's eight entry in the lastthree summer games.The juggernaut German
entry won the 2012 goldmedal and holds an unde-feated streak in major com-petitions dating back to2009.

Three Prince Edward Countysoccer players are helping theBridge to Wealth QuinteWest Wolverines Under 9squad to a memorable finishin the Southern Ontario Soc-cer Association.Luc Bourgoin, Kacey
Cocklin and Justin Thomp-son all play for the Trenton-based squad who are cur-rently fighting it out with theCataraqui Clippers for firstplace in the SoutheastOntario Soccer Association'sUnder- 9 division.In addition to a sparkling
regular season which cur-rently stands at 8-2, thesquad won the prestigiousAmbassador Cup tourna-ment last month with Cock-lin booting home the cham-pionship winner against theNepean Hotspurs in athrilling 1-0 victory.Wolverines coach Gerry
Bourgoin said all three coun-ty natives have made signifi-cant contributions to theclub's success this season.Luc Bourgoin, who
attends Kente Public School,has 15 goals so far this seasonwhich ranks him third in the
circuit.Thompson of Carrying
Place is playing the back lineand is a very strong, aggres-sive defender with a goodhead for the game.Meanwhile, Cocklin, suit-
ing up at striker, has chippedin with some timely scoringand is known for winningball battles in the offensivezone which lead to scores.“All three of them are real
assets to the team,” he said.Bourgoin said by his
count, at least five rep play-ers (two in Belleville) in theU-9 ranks are living in PrinceEdward County and areplaying on travelling teamsoutside the municipality.The Prince Edward Coun-
ty Soccer Association has hadsome forays into the repleagues in the past but cur-rently do not field any repclubs.Bourgoin pointed to Ban-
croft and Portland as smallercommunities that have beenable to consistently field repsoccer clubs.“It's kind of sad,” he said.
“I've got all my coaching andaccreditation and I wish Icould stay in my home com-munity. The players are thereto field a competitive team.”

The Wellington Dukes mightsoon be facing some hardquestions and it doesn't haveanything to do with evaluat-ing talent.The local Junior A hockey
club is in a bind as it appearsit will be lacking billets forthe upcoming season.Billets, some times known
as land parents, house play-ers that have relocated toPrince Edward County forthe season.Dukes coach and general
manager Marty Abrams isscrambling this summer, try-ing to find willing couplesand families that will wel-come players into theirhomes this season.“We are going to have to
release some players justbecause we don't have anybillet homes,” Abrams said.“That's unfortunate, but wecan't make these kids sleep in
their cars.”For the first time in his
tenure with Wellington,Abrams predicts his lineupmight very well be based onwhether or not a player has aroom to sleep in at night asopposed to how many puckshe can put in the net.“There will be veterans
that get cut not necessarilybecause of their ability butbecause we need the spacefor younger guys. For thefirst time, these billet issuesare impacting the team anddictating who we keep andthat's sad news for lots ofkids have worked hard, yearround, to make this hockeyteam,” he added.Other clubs in the OJHL
struggle with the billet issueas well, but it has neverreared its head in Wellingtonuntil recently.And while the small
town, community feel of thevillage is attractive to poten-tial players and their parents,the reality is there is only asmall pool of potentiallyavailable homes.“In our situation, you
only have so many billetswith such a small communityand billeting is one threemajor issues facing the fran-chise.In return for housing
players from late Augustuntil the end of the Dukesplayoff season, Billets receiveseason's tickets and a month-ly stipend.“You are asking to open
your home to someone youdon't know and you can'treally put a price tag on that,”Abrams said. “But it's usual-ly a life long friendship youdevelop with the player andhis family and it's usually avery unique and specialexperience for everyoneinvolved.”The Dukes bench boss
added the availability of bil-lets will signal whether ornot the franchise will remainin the village.“It's probably going to be
deciding and determiningfactor in the operation of thefranchise. It's one of the issuesas to whether or not therecontinues to be a Junior Ateam in Wellington,” he said

Dukes in dire need of billets for 2012-2013
On Wednesday, the OntarioJunior Hockey Leagueannounced it was suspend-ing the Markham Waxersfranchise for the 2012-2013season due to “circum-stances that have arisen inthe past 48 hours and thefailure to comply with vari-ous financial and opera-tional related obligations.”As such, the OJHL has
rescinded the original 2012-2013 schedule. Wellington Dukes coach
and general manager MartyAbrams said his club's por-tion of the schedule wouldlikely be tweaked some-what, although he was hop-ing the changes would notbe drastic.Wellington was slated to
play the Waxers five timesthis season. Following the decision
to suspend the Waxersorganization, the OJHLannounced a realignmentof the North-East Confer-ence which would see fiveteams per division. Themove sees the PickeringPanthers shift to the NorthDivision.The local entry was slat-
ed to play a balanced 55-game schedule weighted byconference play only, notdivisional, meaningWellington plays just asmany games against theNorth Division as it doesagainst the East Division.The Dukes are still
expected to kick off the sea-son on Thurs, Sept. 13 witha visit to Kingston to playthe Voyageurs.The next night, Welling-
ton was slated to open theEssroc Arena with a tiltagainst the OJHL finalistWhitby Fury.Whitby is also the guest
in Wellington's last regularseason home game on Fri-day, Feb. 22 2013.In total, Wellington will
likely play 27 home gamesincluding 17 Friday nightgames starting at 7:30 p.m.and 10 Sunday night affairskicking off at 7 p.m.

In an inconspicuous woodendisplay case just inside thedoor at the Picton Legion Sat-urday sat a 300-pound pile ofmangled, discoloured scrapmetal seemingly unworthy ofdisplay.Branch 78, however, just
happened to be such a placewhere this wheel would gar-ner the utmost reverence andthat's why president TedTaylor was insistent on itspresence.The display is the entire
wheel unit off a Canadian ar-moured vehicle that was de-ployed near Kandahar,Afghanistan. On that morn-ing, a group of Canadian en-gineers were set to completetheir daily duties of buildingroads when it hit an impro-vised explosive device buriedbelow. The soldiers werekilled and the vehicle de-stroyed.On the other side of the
world, the employees at aMississauga transportationcompany solemnly markedRemembrance Day in 2010 asone employee suggested allhis colleagues could look upa soldier who had died as aresult of war in the previous10 years. The employees took up
the project and decided inlight of what they learnedabout the soldiers as people,with families and pasts inCanada, they would build amemorial in their honour.Discussions began with
the Department of NationalDefence and Canada's Direc-torate of History and Her-itage. Eventually, theemployee at Wheels Grouplearned the story of this ill-fated mission and receivedphotographs of the wreckedvehicle. He focused on thewheel and received permis-sion to have his company ob-tain it to create the memorial.Text accompanying the ex-hibit describes his reaction
and sense of purpose."This solid metal mass that
once so intrinsically and pow-erfully participated in desig-nated duty was suddenly atwisted misshapen hunk of
ugly scrap with no chance toproudly turn and travel to dothe job it was built to do. In ef-fect, the wheel died that dayin Kandahar."The son of a retired vet-
eran engineer led efforts tomake the wheel more mobilefor travel and fit it with thewooden display. The symbolof Canada's war effort inAfghanistan would be sentacross the country with fund-ing from the transportationindustry, moving from Hali-fax to Vancouver and back,where it will become part of apermanent war memorial.The Hastings and Prince
Edward Regiment was one ofthe organizations securing thewheel for public display, butofficials there were concernedthey couldn't offer enoughvisibility."We just got this on Thurs-
day," Taylor said. "The regi-ment had it on display andthey didn't think it would beseen by enough people. Theyasked the Legions in our zoneif we would display it."Taylor knew that with the
Legion's ribfest occurring lastweekend, it would be an idealtime for Picton to have thememorial. It came from theWellington branch last week,and is earmarked for a stay inConsecon beginning today.Taylor said he hopes many
will seek it out."It's definitely open to the
public, we want as many peo-ple to see it as possible."Taylor said to him, the
wheel really speaks to thedangers Canadian militarypersonnel must contend withevery time they go to work.Death, like in the case of theunnamed soldiers in thistragedy, can be an imminentthreat at all times."They just went out to do
their jobs. It's hard to believewhat they have to go throughand there's no way we canknow what they wentthrough," he said. "I think oftheir families back in Canada,having to know they're notcoming back — or they'recoming back through Trentonand the Highway of Heroes,obviously not the way theywanted to have them comeback. It sure makes youthink."Coupled with the wheel
on its journey are a Canadianflag, photos of the damagedvehicle, and comment booksfor those who have seen thewheel and been moved by itto write about it. Several visitors to the Le-
gion shared their comments.Among them was GeorgeLarner, who wrote: "Very sen-timental. No one can imaginewhat the men and the vehi-cles encounter."Well done to bring it back

Prince Edward County lost apair of familiar faces thisweek with the passing ofGerry Putman and Dwain“Ikey” Fraser.Both men were 75.Putman was a longtime
art teacher at Prince EdwardCollegiate Institute and, bythe time he retired in theearly 1990s, had taught thou-sands of secondary schoolstudents the proper way tohold a paint brush and thedifference between light andshadow.More recently, Putman
participated in the 2010Olympic torch relay as itmade its way through PrinceEdward County.Fraser was an Athol
Township institution, operat-ing Fraser's Garage in CherryValley.A common sight at most
township parades and cele-brations, Ikey and membersof the Fraser clan would oftenassemble on an old, rundowncar that Fraser assembledhimself out of spare parts. Inlater years, even as his healthstarted to fail, Fraser would
still ride shotgun on thejalopy, much to the delight ofparade watchers.The funeral services of
both men have been en-
trusted to Whattam FuneralHome.

In the midst of fears about aperceived lack of trans-parency, County council de-feated a motion last Tuesdaywhich would have delegatedseveral minor municipalfunctions to staff. Councillorsvoted 9–6 in a recorded voteagainst delegating the func-tions with several councillorssharing concerns about trans-parency, grant applications,and public perception.The issue stems from a re-
port from County chief ad-ministrative officer MerlinDewing at a June 14 commit-tee-of-the-whole meeting.The report says the MunicipalAct allows council to delegateminor powers for severalitems like the temporary clo-sure of a highway and issuingand imposing conditions on alicense.Dewing told council on
Tuesday that the intent of the
motion was to improve effi-ciency by making decisionson minor items which, in thepast, have gone to counciland required written reports.The delegations would
have included the ability tosign grant applications whenboth the project and budgetfor the project are already ap-proved by council. Under thecurrent system staff are re-quired to come back to coun-cil to have a bylaw passedsaying the application can besigned.“The intent behind this
one is very minor in naturebecause council has alreadyapproved the project,” Dew-ing said. “You've already ap-proved the budget for themunicipal contribution, this isjust doing the paperwork.”Dewing said staff would-
n't have had any powers tounilaterally apply for grantswithout council approval.“This is not council giving
up any power or authority,”
he said.Other delegations in-
cluded approving uncon-tested minor variances,approval and execution of en-croachment agreements andthe ability to approve uncon-tested stand alone consents.Also included are current
and historical practices thatare performed by staff, buthaven't officially been dele-gated by bylaw, such as sign-ing letters of approval forspecial occasion permits andgrant relief or reduction forfees for service.However, many — like
councillor Janice Maynard —said they weren't comfortabledelegating responsibilities.Maynard said with the
municipality encouragingtransparency and public con-sultation in council decisionsit would be best to go with thecurrent system.“This is the public's chance
to come to council, this is thepublic's chance for input,
whether they be minor in na-ture or not,” she said.Councillor Alec Lunn also
said he wasn't comfortabledelegating authority.“I'm a little leery about
delegating this kind of au-thority without a clear pictureof where (the corporate struc-ture) is going,” he said.The report says the current
approval process for minoritems can take from six to 12weeks based on their com-plexity, but a delegated ap-proval process could reducethat to about two to fourweeks.Jim Dunlop was among
those who though the effi-ciency measures were a goodidea. He said council shouldexplore any ways it can tomake the County more effi-cient for taxpayers.“All these things are at
council discretion. Even ifstaff does something we cango back and look at it,” hesaid.

Gardens do not look quiteas desperate after the rain,last week. Still the erraticweather pattern whichbegan with unusualwarmth in March nodoubt will continue. I losttwo very new shrubs,which started to produceleaf buds in March due to
the warm weather, butlater these buds shriveledup and died during thecold weather that followedand no new ones reap-peared.
This unusual weatherhas lead to reports of un-expected pests and dis-eases in greater numbers.
As is generally the pattern,the healthy plants largelycontinue on as usual andthe frailer plants struggleand often die.
This was the case withone rose bush, despite thehealthy half dozen nearby.In early May this rose, un-like the rest, had lost sig-nificant numbers of majorand minor stems that hadapparently died duringthe winter. It otherwiseappeared to be leafing outnormally.
By mid June it was clearthat something was gradu-ally skeletonizing theleaves. None of the otherrose bushes had more thana few holes in an occa-sional leaf. Close observa-tion at various times of theday finally revealed theculprits. The larvae eatingthe leaves were a lightgreen almost the colour ofthe leaves themselves and
measured about a quarterof an inch (just over half acentimeter long). Thehead appeared slightlylighter, almost yellow incolour. They were foundon the top of the leaves.
While these were mostlikely sawfly larvae, it wasimportant to identifywhich ones they were andwhat further damagemight be expected. Aswell, given the time ofyear and the blossoms thatabounded even on thisvery sad looking bush, itwas important to not useany treatments that mightthreaten pollinators orother beneficial insectsthat were also present atthat time.
It was apparent aftercareful researching thatthe most likely culprit wasthe common, or European,rose slug sawfly. The timeof year was right, alongwith the colour, the size,and the fact that they werefeeding on the top of theleaf as opposed to under-neath. While sawflies arenever desirable this wasnot one of the nastierspecies as there is only onecycle a year and that is inthe spring giving the plantan opportunity to recoverduring the summer.
This could also havebeen the bristly rose slugsawfly. They are both in asimilar colour range andaccording to one expert in-distinguishable to thenaked eye.
While these latter aresaid to prefer workingfrom the underside of theleaves, both species ofslugs have been observedchewing away on eitherside of the leaf. Theseslugs are nastier in thatthey return once againduring the late summerand fall.
Neither of these socalled slugs is slimy andboth appear to look morelike a caterpillar than aslug. The common rose
slug sawfly does moredamage in the early springwhen a large proportion ofthe leaves were foundskeletonized. The bristlyrose slug sawfly is morelikely to be responsible forsignificant damage to theplant leaves in the latesummer and fall.
The manner chosen todispose of them was atwice daily inspection andthe choice of disposal waseither to pinch them orshake them into soapywater in a container heldunderneath the leaf.Within a week there wereno further reappearances.
Four weeks later theshrub was leafing out welland continuing to flower.Nonetheless biweekly in-spections continue to con-firm the original diagnosisand also to ensure thatnothing else appears to beattacking this furtherweakened plant.
There are other sawflylarvae which attack rosesby boring into the cane tofeed, and are identified bythe blackening of the canesthat are damaged by theboring. Some, like thecurled rose slug, eat theentire leaf surface andthen bore into the pith ofrose at the pruning cut tofeed. While the same
colour as the first twoslugs mentioned, they areinvariably curled and theleaves are transparentrather than skeletonized.If they have been effectivein significantly destroyingthe pruning graft, theplant will need to be re-moved and not com-posted. In fact no part ofthe plants that hostsawflies, their eggs andlarvae, should be com-posted.
Finally there is the largerose sawfly slug which isyellowish black along itsback with black bristles.They also eat leaves fromMay to October and maybe destroyed in a similarmanner.
Inspection of the leavesfor eggs should be carriedout weekly during thesummer and if locatedthese should be washedoff. Given a serious inva-sion of even the healthyroses in the garden mayrequire using pesticideswhich will impact the ben-eficial insects including al-ready threatenedpollinators. Ask yournursery for help in choos-ing the least lethal. Usingthem at dusk when thepollinators have retired forthe night is recommended.
All of these larvae win-ter over in the groundaround the plants so di-chotomous earth can bedusted over the area in thefall and early spring. Dobe careful to buy the di-chotomous earth used foragriculture and not forpool filters.

A friend sent me this poemthe other day. I searchedGoogle to find the authorand couldn’t come up withthe name of the writer. Idecided to share the wordswith you.
If you’re a computer useryou can search YouTube forthis and find these wordswith photos of old barnsand music playing in thebackground. It’s a com-pelling video and youshould have a look at it ifyou can. The words aloneare worth reading and Ihope that you enjoy the sen-timent in this poem.
A stranger came by theother day
with an offer that set meto thinking.
He wanted to buy theold barn that sits out by thehighway.
I told him right off that
he was crazy.He was a city type...you
could tell by his clothes, hiscar, his hands, and the way
he talked.He said he was driving
by and saw that beautifulbarn sitting out in the tallgrass and wanted to know ifit was for sale.
Sure, it was a handsomebuilding in its day.
But then, there's been alot of winters pass with thesnow and ice and howlingwind.
The summer sun's beatdown on that old barn tillall the paint's gone and thewood has turned a silvergray.
Now the old buildingleans a good deal lookingkind of tired, yet that fellowcalled it beautiful.
That set me to thinking. Iwalked out to the field andjust stood there gazing atthat old barn.
The stranger said heplanned to use the lumberto
line the walls of his den in anew country home he'sbuilding down the road.
He said you couldn't getpaint that beautiful,thatonly years of standing in theweather, bearing the stormsand scorching sun can pro-duce beautiful barn wood.
It came to me then.We're a lot like that...youand I. Only it's on the insidethat the beauty grows withus.
Sure we turn silver gray,too...and lean a bit morethan we did when we wereyoung and full of sap.
As the years pass, thehard weather of our lives,the dry spells and thestormy seasons beautify oursouls.
And to think, how oftenfolks holler because theywant life easy!
Well, they took the old
barn down today ...hauled itaway to beautify a richman's house.
And I reckon somedayyou and I'll be hauled off tothat Great Ranch in the Sky.
And I suspect we'll bemore beautiful because ofthe seasons we've beenthrough here.
And just maybe thenwe'll add a bit of beauty tothat Great Ranch in the Sky.
So, hope there's peacewith you today and justtrust that you're exactlywhere you're meant to be.
I'm sincerely gratefuland thankful for my won-derful family and friendswho care about me eventhough I show signs ofweathering!
