VOLUME 182, NO. 29

While it may not effect anychange, the results of the re-cent vote on industrial windturbines held in SouthMarysburgh certainly madea point.That point was a re-

sounding 'no' to wind tur-bines on the south shoreamong those who voted.Saturday's vote, hosted

by the South MarysburghMirror posed the question:“Do you want industrialwind turbines installed inSouth Marysburgh like theones proposed by wpdCanada and Gilead Power

for their projects near Mil-ford and on the southshore?”A remarkable turnout of

62.4 per cent — 542 out of868 South Marysburgh resi-dents and landowners —voted, with 489 voting 'no'and just 51 voting 'yes.'The vote, which was

open only to residents andproperty owners in SouthMarysburgh, was held from9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at MilfordTown Hall and saw hun-dreds of residents cast theirvotes within two hours ofthe polls opening.One of those eager to

have his opinion heard was

South Bay resident WarrenTrimble.“I have an opinion and I

think it better be heard,” hesaid. “I don't think (tur-bines) have a place in anylocale where people don'twant them.”Trimble said he was very

interested to see what theresults of the vote would be,but was strongly againstbringing them to SouthMarysburgh.“Basically I think they're

a bad idea,” he said.“They're hugely subsidized,they cost us a fortune to in-stall and keep running.”

A new approach to citizenengagement that will lookto draw more heavily onthe experience and knowl-edge of residents and, ulti-mately, lead to a moreinformed decision-makingprocess appears to be on itsway.Committee of the whole

approved the new program,titled “Resident Resources,A New Approach to CitizenEngagement,” which willallow citizens the opportu-nity to participate in a vari-ety of discussions and hasbeen designed to raise thelevel of residents activelyinvolved in the democraticprocess. The implementa-tion and maintenance of thenew program will be man-aged by the clerk's depart-ment.The approach will still

have to be approved bycouncil at their July 24 meet-ing.Mayor Peter Mertens

said the new approach willgive the municipality an op-portunity to get a broaderview on issues.“Often there are many

people who want to con-tribute to a specific thing orto a specific area that we'relooking at, but they're reallynot able to or want to com-mit to being on a committee

that has regular meetingsand has that type of respon-sibilities,” he said. “Havinga specific item and having ameeting to discuss that spe-cific item and get input intothat item is attractive tomany people.”Mertens said the munici-

pality would welcome resi-dents with specificknowledge bases as well asthose who have a generalinterest in contributing. Hesaid the overall goal wouldbe for the municipality tohave a large pool of citizenresources that it can drawfrom when there is a needfor public input.“People that are inter-

ested as individuals in giv-ing us their name andgiving us a bit of a bio or alittle of their background orjust expressing their inter-est, we would keep that in adatabase,” he said. “If a par-ticular issue or, for that mat-ter, even a general topiccame up we would put outa call for a select number ofpeople and go from there.”That pool would be a re-

source for the municipalityto draw on for participationin working groups, focusgroups, surveys, specific ad-vice or recommendations,or for gathering informationor research on topics.

While low water levelsthemselves may not be acause for panic, the timingof Quinte Conservation’sLevel 1 low water advisoryTuesday has local officialsconcerned about supply.

“We have had low con-ditions before,” said QuinteConservation general man-ager Terry Murphy. “Lastyear, we declared a Level 1in August. It’s a wholemonth earlier, and the wayit’s going now, we could bereaching Level 2 much ear-lier this year too.”

Murphy explained theLevel 1 condition is a resultof a measure of the amountof rainfall received in thearea and the level of stream-flows throughout the Prince

Edward County watershed.He said over the last month,streamflow has been at lessthan 70 per cent of the low-est summer average, andthat some streams may berunning as low as 50 percent of the normal summerflows.

Murphy said the lowwater levels have alsocaused Quinte Conserva-tion to put logs on dams tomaintain levels in arealakes.

To combat the watershortages, Quinte Conser-vation is calling on peopleto reduce their own waterconsumption by 10 per centduring the Level 1 advisoryand should it get to Level 2,to increase that a 20-per-cent savings in water usage.

Murphy said the lowvolume may affect wells in

rural areas and he calledupon all water users to beaware of non-essential uses.

“I had someone call meand I said people shouldconsider not watering theirlawns,” he recalled. “Hesaid ‘I don’t really like theidea of a brown lawn,’ andI said there are a lot ofthings worse than that —like not having water todrink.”

Watering plants and thewashing of driveways, side-walks, and siding are otherareas Quinte Conservationis asking residents to con-sider limiting.

Murphy indicated thelow water levels could alsohave an impact on habitatsfor wildlife that relies onwetlands and variousaquatic species.

He added the drier itgets in the area, a greaterpotential exists for grassfires, which also take theirtoll on habitat.

“It can have a wide-reaching impact,” he said.

While forecasts this

week have suggested thecounty could receive severethunderstorms, Murphysaid the water shortage isn’tone that is going to be alle-viated in short order.

“We need a lot of long,steady periods of gentlerain,” he said, adding runofis a concern during shorterbursts of rain. “If we get ahuge downpour, that willdo very little.”

Quinte Conservationplans to continue to moni-tor the levels throughoutthe summer, according towater resources engineerBryon Keene, who notedthe county isn’t alone in ex-periencing a water short-age this month.

“Conditions on theMoira River and in the Na-panee Region watershedsare also dry. All of the riversystems are at less than 30per cent of normal for thistime of year. Over the pastthree weeks, there has beenless than 10 millimetres ofrain over most of the water-shed.”

Prince Edward familiesfacing financial hardshipwill again be able to counton their child having es-sential school items thanksto the local Good Back-pack Program.

The program assistsfamilies who need extrahelp with their back toschool budget by provid-ing children with back-packs filled with gradeappropriate school sup-plies. The backpacks areavailable to children enter-ing J.K. to Grade 8.

The program is a part-nership project of theUnited Way of Quinte, theCommunity DevelopmentCouncil of Quinte, andVolunteer & InformationQuinte and is delivered inPrince Edward County butthe Prince Edward Learn-ing Centre and Prince Ed-ward-Lennox &Addington Social Services(PELASS).

For the fourth year in arow the Prince EdwardDistrict Women's Institutecontributed $500 to theproject along with $500from the Kinsmen Club ofPicton and an additionalcontribution of $500 froman anonymous donor.

The contributions al-lowed PELASS and thePrince Edward LearningCentre to purchase 150backpacks for county fam-ilies.

PELASS supervisor Jo-anne Munro-Cape it's re-ally fulfilling for everyoneinvolved watching thekids come to pick out their

own new backpack.“It's a real nice treat for

us to be able to have sucha positive interaction withthe people we serve allyear round, and to be ablehelp them and to promoteeducation,” she said. “Weget $1,500 in total so wepurchase 150 backpacks,but the value of that $1,500is equivalent to $5,000”

She said the backpacksare purchased for $10 andthen the United Way col-lects additional donationsin Prince Edward andraise the value of the bagsto $40.

“We pay $10 and we get$40 value, so your $500 isquadrupled in value forthe family,” said Munro-Cape.

She said there are alsospinoff benefits that makethe program even moreworthwhile.

“We're actually helpingthe schools have betterprepared children and wehelp the parents who aredealing with the day-to-day struggles by takingone small thing and all thesmall things are usuallythe huge things,” she said.“The vast linkages for the$500 is tremendous.”

Prince Edward DistrictWomen's Institute presi-dent Nancy Wood said theorganization was pleasedto be able to contributeagain.

“It's exactly what ourwhole organization isabout,” she said.

She said contributing towomen's initiatives andalso to education has al-ways been the organiza-tion's mandate and thecontribution is just contin-uing that theme.

“This fits perfectly,” she

said.The program provides

backpacks and suppliesfor approximately 900 ele-mentary students in Hast-ings and Prince Edwardcounties annually.

ForthcomingMarriage

After a bit of silence, a pas-senger who was riding in thefront seat of my car one daysuddenly asked why cow-birds act and sound like cow-birds, and not like the fosterparents who raised them.We are always warned

about raising baby birds andthe dangers of imprinting, astrong bond between theyoung and their “parent”.Imprinting can cause a younganimal to recognize itself ashuman when raised inappro-priately. Once that damage hasbeen done, the likelihood ofbeing able to release such ananimal back to the wild is lowand its future uncertain. Birdsthat are raised as babies byhumans in captivity have nomentor birds to teach them sothey naturally imprint on who-ever has raised it.This was the basis of the

movie, Fly Away Home, partof which was filmed at Sand-banks Provincial Park, in1996. The film stars AnnaPaquin, who adopts a broodof baby Canada geese. Whenthe birds are imprinted withher as their Mother Goose,she realizes that unless sheand her father (Jeff Daniels)can teach the birds to fly amigration route from Ontarioto North Carolina, the birdswill not be able to survive thewinter. The solution comes inthe form of ultralight aircraftthat is used to guide the birdsto sanctuary. The story was based on

the actual experiences of BillLishman, who, 10 years earli-er, started training geese tofollow his ultralight and suc-ceeded in leading their

migration in 1993.So if imprinting is such a

concern, why is it that cow-birds, who are notorious fortheir habit of laying theireggs in the nests of otherbirds, don’t end up soundingand acting like yellow war-blers, or song sparrows, or ahost of other birds that areparasitized by these wellknow freeloading birds? Good question. Why don’t

they? After all, the young birdshave never had a parent cow-bird teach them to sing like acowbird, or behave like one.How do they grow up know-ing they are cowbirds, giventheir atypical upbringing?Unlike other species of

birds, it turns out that juve-nile cowbirds have a very,very strong affinity andinstinct for other juvenilecowbirds. Doubtless, it hasevolved over thousands ofyears. Soon after fledging,they get together in hugeflocks, forage together, roost

together and migrate togeth-er. They learn their identitynot from their adoptive par-ents, but rather, from theirpeers in these large groups.Cowbirds cleverly havelearned to ignore the rules ofnature, and simply do notsubscribe to the idea ofimprinting.As these young birds grow

older, the female cowbirds,amazingly, without anyparental training, are able torecognize and identify malecowbirds by their song andpossess the ability to respondto the song of the male bird.Upon hearing the song of themale, the female adopts thefull posture of acceptance tothe male’s advances, prior tomating.However, researchers

have found something elseout too and it is somewhatbaffling, not only to casualobservers, but to biologists aswell. They found in an exper-iment, that by isolating themales from the females, andhence lowering their thresh-old for song, that even aftersix months, the femaleswould still respond to themale’s song. It was evenfound that songs from isolatemales in a laboratory weremeasurably more effective,not less, in releasing a copula-tory response from thefemales. Why would it bemore effective? Researchersscratched their heads andcommented that it violatedDarwinian principles. It waspuzzling. Made no sense.At the end of the day,

researchers concluded that itmight make developmental

or evolutionary sense if iso-late song was equivalent tonormal song in its effective-ness to elicit response from afemale. The finding did not seem to

fit existing schemata of songdevelopment. Perhaps thoughit could be explained if wewere able to show that cow-birds make use of this mecha-nism in nature by being soli-tary or nomadic, but we knowthat cowbirds live in largeflocks during winter andspring, the presumed periodof song learning.One explanation is that

male cowbirds might developa more effective song becauseof different auditory environ-ments, such as by being inisolation during an experi-ment. This, in turn, may pro-duce a more powerful orpurer courtship message.However, every timeresearchers hypothesized,more experiments provedthem wrong.That cowbirds, says the

report, can afford to dependupon its environment for socritical a function is elegant, ifunlikely, testimony to the pow-erful role of learning in devel-opment and evolution. Andpeople wonder why we findbirds so fascinating; we justnever stop trying to under-stand how they function.

CLEARLY, people bother to cast their ballots when thereis an issue that is close to home and of direct importanceto their quality of life.

That seems to be one inference to be drawn from thereported results of the South Marysburgh Mirror’sreferendum Saturday on the presence of industrial windturbines like the two currently proposed to be builtwithin that ward. After all, the reported voter turnoutof 62.4 per cent surpasses the overall voter turnout re-ported in the Canadian general election (61.1 per cent),and the Ontario provincial election (42.9 per cent), andthe last municipal election in Prince Edward County in2010 (47.38 per cent). Those saying those trends aren’tapples-to-apples should note only 53.44 per cent of eli-gible South Marysburgh voters cast ballots in that mu-nicipal election — and that vote counted.

On top of that, consider that more than 90 per cent ofthe people who bothered to show up at the polls on awarm summer Saturday voted against the turbines,there can be little doubt that an engaged, active groupof residents have decided industrial wind power justisn’t for them.

The respondents weren’t asked to give their rea-soning behind not wanting the developments in theircommunity — it could be any range of issues fromhealth concerns, to the environment, to property val-ues, to pure aesthetics — but it appears one of the fewareas in Prince Edward County that can still host indus-trial wind turbines thanks to DND restrictions has de-cided it doesn’t wish to particularly wish to have them.That should be enough.

While this vote is not binding and the municipalcouncil of Prince Edward County may not have hadstanding when it came out to request a moratorium onindustrial wind development, there should be no mis-taking that a majority of people believe it is not the rightkind of development for this area.

Surely, the provincial government should be able totake that message, which echoes through louder andclearer as statistically, it appears to be a more significantportion of the host community than the portion of On-tario’s electorate which voted and handed DaltonMcGuinty more time in the premier’s chair, de-spite key losses in rural Ontario.

Last week in this space, we called for the some clo-sure on this file and a collective effort to move forward.Inevitably, some in the minority will question themethodology and the motive behind the result pro-vided, but it’s hard to convince us the sentiment isagainst industrial wind, whether that proves the rightidea or the wrong one.

Over time, with more research and study, maybethere will be new technologies that emerge or betterpractices for locating turbines that will allow the issueto be reconsidered and for more county residents tothrow their support behind some form of renewables.As it stands, however, in the present form, the messagewas delivered soundly. It’s time to move on from theproposals being considered.

In a letter to The PictonGazette last week, DonChisholm claimed that pre-vious letter-writers had"jumped on" Mike Platt forsupporting wind energybecause the South Marys-burgh poll on industrialwind turbines was comingup.I can't speak for the others

who wrote in, but I chose towrite because Platt made anumber of assertions about

industrial wind turbines andthose who oppose them,which he failed to back upwith a single statistic or fact.The debate about indus-

trial wind turbines is boundto be heated and emotional.That doesn't mean that logicshould be abandoned. Nordoes Chisholm contributelogic to the argument whenhe casts aspersions on thosewho have thoroughlyresearched the damage

caused by industrial windturbines and have thereforechosen to oppose them. Chisholm's aspersions are

faulty logic (an argument adhominem, according to for-mal logic) since they attackpeople rather than advanc-ing the debate. As the Gazette's editorial

last week states, "Thereappears to be enough evi-dence mounting that indus-trial wind may not be all it's

hailed to be -- the OntarioAuditor General's report, theEuropean countries thathave stepped back fromtheir commitments to thetechnology, and voices ofthe people living close to tur-bines ..."Thank you to The Picton

Gazette for bringing thedebate back to the facts.

Last week’s Picton Gazetteeditorial (“A decade later,industrial wind still dividescommunities”) suggestedthat the ongoing debate overwind development in SouthMarysburgh is divisive.However, the vote con-

ducted by the South Marys-burgh Mirror on July 14demonstrates the opposite.The community showed anamazing solidarity in itsopposition to the proposedwind energy projects.

Over 90 per cent votedNo to the question “Do youwant industrial wind tur-bines installed in South

Marysburgh like the onesproposed by wpd Canadaand Gilead Power for theirprojects near Milford andon the south shore?” The ballot provided a clearquestion and the voting aclear answer.Achieving a plurality of

90 per cent is rare in anycommunity on any giventopic.Much like the rally at the

Milford Fairgrounds thispast May, the vote indicatesthe deep and broad consen-sus that these projects areproposed in the wrongplace.

Wind energy projectsalong the south shore havebeen strongly condemnedby many, including OntarioNature and the AudubonSociety, because of theirimpact on the natural envi-ronment.The limited local sup-

port appears to be primari-ly among those few whostand to profit, and a fewmore who advocate indus-trial wind energy at anycost.Thanks to the South

Marysburgh Mirror, we havea true measure of how thevast majority of those living

in the area view these proj-ects.Rather than causing resi-

dents to drift apart, the issuehas brought us closer togeth-er in our opposition. But theGazette is right: This issue haspersisted for too long.Now is not the time for

arbitration or compromise.What is most appropri-

ate is withdrawal of theprojects by both GileadPower Corporation andwpd Canada Inc.

CRYSTALS IN THE PALACE

Just a few thoughts on thewind turbine issue...On the ballot I cast on

Saturday in Milford, therewere no choices! If it hadread “Do you prefer windor coal power” that would

have meant something.Also, I was thinking that

the people up in Torontogasping for air this weekwould have appreciatedour thoughtfulness. Look-ing farther than our own

selfish interests might ben-efit the human race some-times.No, I am not a land owner

who would reap any benefitfrom having a turbine on myproperty (though our prop-

erty is in the minimum dis-tance away from a proposedsite. The benefit for mewould be “hope.”

Alison HicksSouth Marysburgh

Hands up, who can visual-ize 1 billion dollars? Con-sider that a $100 bill is one-tenth of a millimeter thick. If you start stacking $100

bills, the size of a $10,000pile would be 10 millimeterhigh (about four inches).An American $1 billion (asopposed UK) would be 1kilometer high. Lay the pileon its side, one kilometre isabout from the Picton No

Frills to the LCBO corner.Why do I ask you to

visualize a billion? TheProvince of Ontario debt is$262 billion and growing. Ifthat pile of $100 bills werelaid down, it would reach262 kilometres (Belleville toCambridge). Simplification? Of

course! Government debt isvery complicated. Howev-er, $262 billion is very real

money and unsustainablewithout effective reduc-tions. Yet the new provin-cial budget projects addi-tional debt of $16 billioneven if all things go perforecast. For example: the gov-

ernment itself estimatesthat electricity rates inOntario will increase by 46per cent by 2015. That’s anextra $1,100 a year, after

taxes, for the average fami-ly just to get the samepower out of a wall socket.I know that I cannot

afford this level of spend-ing, can you. These politi-cians are out of control. Asthe bumper sticker says “ IFYou Are Not Outraged, YouAre Not Paying Attention.”

It might not have had thedeep impact organizers wereoriginally hoping for but thefirst SummerAid event heldat Sandbanks Village lastmonth raised that $4,400 forthe Prince Edward CountyMemorial Hospital Founda-tion (PECMHF) is beingtoasted as a success.Organized and staged in

just a two-week time frame,the event competed with theCanada Day long weekendand there were hopes, giventhe number of large scaleprizes being raffled off, theevent might raise upwards of$10,000.Held at the Sandbanks

with funding that will be di-rected to the $750,000 digitalmammography campaign,Sandbanks general managerJohn DaGloria admitted theevent fell somewhat short ofexpectations.“We had hoped for a more

funds but we were late plan-ning the event. It will be anannual event going forwardand with more planning andmore time to stage, it will bemore dynamic and featuremore community involve-ment next year.” Dagloria added this cause

was easy for his companyand the residents of Sand-banks Summer Village to getbehind.“It's very important to the

residents of Sandbanks Sum-mer Village to have a wellserviced hospital close to thecottages. With 237 units andthousands of people visiting,medical emergencies arebound to happen at somepoint or another and, for theowners, supporting this hos-pital is very important.”PECMHF Executive DirectorAnna Marie Ferguson said it'salways nice to new busi-nesses and organizations un-derstand the need to supportthe funding of medical equip-ment at Prince EdwardCounty Memorial Hospital.“It sets a precedent when

a new business and new peo-ple come into the communityand support the foundationin this way. It speaks vol-umes,” she said.Currently, the campaign

has eclipsed the $500,000mark, allowing for the ultra-

sound portion to be pur-chased.Ferguson mentioned the

new unit was replacing a 14-year-old model that had beentermed 'obsolete' and replace-ment parts were becomingscarce.The purchase and installa-

tion of the new digital mam-mography unit will ensurebreast screening services willremain at PECMH.Up next for the foundation

will be the annual On-air-for-Healthcare Radioathon eventorganized by the Trenton,Belleville and Prince EdwardHospital Foundations. OnAugust 30, local radio sta-tions will be broadcasting sto-ries of exceptional health careand taking pledges for equip-ment needs at the three hos-pitals.Equipment for hospitals in

A concert collaboration willbring rock hits with an or-chestral twist to Picton nextmonth.

The concert, titled PianoMen — The music of Elton andBilly, will consist of a rockband performing with a sym-phony orchestra and will fea-ture some of the greatest hitsfrom Elton John and Billy Joel.

The Music at Port MilfordStudents will serve as the or-chestra for the evening withproceeds going to benefit thecamp.

Christopher Eastburn,who plays bass in the bandand wrote the orchestrationshas been an instructor atMusic at Port Milford formany years and, after havingan initial collaboration withstudents a couple of summersago, decided to put together abenefit concert the studentscould take part in.

The New England-basedact premiered last year inPortland, Maine (with a dif-ferent orchestra) with vocalistand pianist Joe Boucher at thehelm.

“In order for an orchestra-tor to hear what their musicsounds like you need to get a

group of musicians togetherto do a rehearsal called areading where everybody sitsdown and looks at it for thefirst time,” Boucher said ofMusic at Port Milford's initialinvolvement with the show.“We were able to do a readingwith the students which wasphenomenal. For us it was thefirst time to hear the orches-trations.”

Music at Port Milford reg-ularly has world renownedclassical musicians sit in withthem for benefit concerts, butBoucher said he believed thiswould be the first time thecamp with do a pops-typecollaboration.

“This is definitely the firstof its kind (for Music at PortMilford) because it's a rockshow, a rock band with theorchestra,” he said.

He said music education issomething that is continuallybeing cut from public schoolbudgets and it's important tohim on a personal level tokeep the arts alive.

“The students at Music atPort Milford are very moti-vated. These are kids that areon track, many of them, tobeing professional musiciansand just making the commu-nity aware that these endeav-

ours are happening rightunder their noses is really im-portant,” Boucher said. “I'vealways been a very big advo-cate.”

He said the music stu-dents are already fired up forthe show. Word of the showwent out to them just as theywere signing up for summerworkshops. Boucher said heexpects some of the studentswho attended the initial read-ing of the orchestrations twoyears ago will also be partici-pating in the show.

Although he said a lot ofthe kids weren't familiar withthe material, he said it seemsto have caught on.

“They're in their teens orearly 20s and that music is 30years old, but they took to it,which is great,” he said.

Boucher likened the showto similar performancesaimed at bringing classicalmusic to new audiences.

“Symphony orchestrasaround the U.S. and Canadahave been working to reachout beyond regular classicalaudiences and they've tradi-tionally done what they callpops programming,”Boucher said. “A lot of thetime pops programming ismusic from broadway or

movie music.”He said one of the demo-

graphics that orchestras havebegun to target is babyboomers.

“People who came of agewhen rock and roll was play-ing on their eight-track play-ers in their car, now thosepeople are a potential orches-tra audience,” he said.

Boucher said growing upas a piano player Elton Johnand Billy Joel were big influ-ences.

Songs in the first set in-clude “Your Song,” “MyLife,” and “Tiny Dancer.”

He said he would love tosee a full house when theshow kicks off on Saturday,August 4 at 8 p.m. in the Re-gent Theatre in Picton.

An accidental grass firekept Hwy 62 between Jeri-cho Road and Burr Roadclosed for five hours Mon-day evening as Prince Ed-ward County fire crewsworked to contain theblaze.

Deputy chief Robert Rut-ter said the department re-

ceived several 911 callsabout the fire from passingmotorists just after 2:30p.m. as winds carriedplumes of smoke across theprovincial roadway makingvisibility difficult.

According to Rutter,workers at a solar panel in-stallation to the west of thehighway had been finishinga project to fence in the in-stallation and were in the

process of cutting the fenceposts. An errant spark ig-nited long grass nearby. Theheat spread as it caught apile of cedar mulch measur-ing 50 feet by 60 feet, piled12 feet high.

"This was 100 feet off theroad and the wind took it,"Rutter said. "We put thegrass fire out right away,but the problem was thatlarge pile of cedar."

He said the contractorwas very helpful on the siteafter it had failed to stampout the fire initially. Theworkers brought in two ex-cavators to try to breakdown the pile before theflames spread, while fire-

fighters worked at extin-guishing the pile. Waterwas pumped in from apond across the road.

Rutter said that about 40firefighters helped on thecall. Two stations re-sponded with men andequipment, while firefight-ers from two other districtswithin the county offeredsupport.

"We were concernedabout safety, especially inthis heat," Rutter said. "Wehad lots of drinking waterand a lot of crew available.We were able to rotate themthrough to prevent heat ex-haustion."

He also thanked the OPP

for their work in closing offthe road, given its proxim-ity. That allowed the fire-fighters room to pumpwater and reduced the riskof accidents due to the poorvisibility.

The fire also tells the tale

why the entire county re-mains under a burn ban.

"It's a perfect example,that was just a simple sparkthat quickly became ablaze," he said. "It's so dryand so tender every-where… it's really bad."

The ULTIMATESummer Show!

This week we are visitingRosehall Run Vineyards(named for the nearby ham-let of Rosehall) located onGreer Road in the heart ofthe Hillier wine district. The founders of Rosehall

Run, winemaker Dan Sulli-van and his partner, LynnSullivan, together with theirbrother-in-law, Cam Re-ston, purchased the 150-acre farm in 2000.The site was selected

due to its proximity to LakeOntario and remarkableHillier clay soil scatteredwith numerous rock andshale fragments on a lime-stone base. They plantedthe vineyard in 2001, hadtheir first harvest in 2004and then opened their win-ery doors in 2006. Their7,200-square-foot wineryfacility and barrel cellarwas constructed 2008. It's avery impressive facility andon one of my visits thereDan was quite excited toexplain and show me howthe gravity system allworked.Prior to founding Rose-

hall Run, Dan spent 15years honing his craft as ahome winemaker and wasawarded a Grand MasterWinemaker at the AmateurWinemakers of Ontario.

As the vineyard man-ager and winemaker, DanSullivan manages every

facet of Rosehall Run’s op-eration. The wines he pro-duces are a reflection of hisdedication to the vineyard.He maintains a hands-onapproach to managing thevineyard staff, monitoringthe weather and its effects,and using gentle, environ-mentally sound grape farm-ing techniques that extractthe optimum from theunique Prince EdwardCounty terroir. As a result,Dan has been acknowl-edged as being one of thebest grape growers in On-tario.Rosehall Run offers a se-

lection of distinct wines

meticulously crafted fromPrince Edward County andOntario fruit. The soils andmicroclimates of the countycoupled with the all-per-vading limestone base pro-vide an ideal growingenvironment for cool- cli-mate grapes such as Pinotnoir and Chardonnay.Highlights include Rose-hall Run’s estate-grownPinot noir and Chardonnay,the unique Sullyzwickerred, white and rose blendsand a duo of wines pro-duced in association withacclaimed Chef JamieKennedy.Dan works with both

local and internationalchefs, restaurateurs and fel-low winemakers to raise theprofile of Ontario’s thrivinglocal food and wine com-munity. He is a member ofthe Wine Council of Ontarioboard of directors and sec-retary/ treasurer of i4C (In-ternational Cool ClimateCelebration). He is also amember of the advisorycommittee for the Algo-nquin College sommeliercertificate program in Ot-tawa (where Delores ob-tained her sommeliertraining) and a certifiedjudge with the Wine Judgesof Canada.It is because of his train-

ing and status as a certifiedwine judge that we asked

Dan to be a guest speaker atone of our Opimian dinnersin Kingston. We had a tast-ing of Pinot noirs fromaround the world (that arenot available in the LCBO)and invited Dan to bringone of his Pinot noirs andconduct our tasting. Our

members thoroughly en-joyed all the wines andwere very impressed withthe local selection andDan's vast knowledge ofthis varietal.Since opening Dan has

received consistently posi-tive press and critical ac-claim and a number of localand international awards.In the July 2010 issue ofWine Align, wine writerDavid Lawrason citedRosehall Run as one of On-tario’s leading wineries:“They are wineries that areleading by example and en-

tirely capable of puttingOntario on the globalstage.”

I went to their web siteand the number of awardslisted astounded me. Icounted 17 gold medals, 24silver medals and 42 bronzemedals. This year theyopened their new tastingroom and I would encour-age people to stop by andtaste some award-winningwine in this striking room!Dan's partner Lynn is

Upgrading homes: How tomake a smooth sale

When most people buytheir first home, they usuallyconsider it a “starter home”and dream of purchasing abigger and better home oneday. Using the equity you’ve

built up in your currenthome, and depending onyour financial situation, amove to an upgraded homemay be quite possible, espe-cially given today’s low in-terest rates. If you’re curiousto find out if you qualify foryour dream home, ask a Re-altor to help you calculatecarrying costs on a “moveup” home.There are many reasons

why you may wish to have alarger home - a growingfamily, more rooms to ac-commodate older children,an elderly parent has movedin. Or maybe you want alarger yard, a garage, or ahome with a private drive-way. Whatever your rea-sons, moving up to a newhome can be very satisfying.It can also prove to be fi-

nancially beneficial. The eq-uity in your home willcontinue to grow and thevalue of a bigger and betterhome will be greater overtime. There is also a senseof pride that comes with up-

grading your home.

BUY FIRST OR SELLFIRST?

This is one of the trickiestquestions to answer whenyou are selling one home tobuy another. If you pur-chase your new home beforeyou reach an agreement tosell your current property –and the deal falls through –you could find yourselfowning two homes at thesame time. On the otherhand, if you wait until youreceive an acceptable offeron your present home, youmay suffer the inconven-ience and expense of havingto rent a place and store yourfurniture while you awaitpossession of a new home.A Realtor may be able tohelp you time your sale andpurchase to happen on thesame closing date – the datethat ownership is legallytransferred from the seller tothe buyer. When you decide that

moving up is the way to go,be sure to enlist the servicesof a Realtor. He or she hasthe qualifications and ex-pertise required for a smoothsale and is committed tospending the time it takes tohelp you successfully sellyour home and move up toanother. Your options can be

confusing at times, but a Re-altor can help you make theright choices.He or she will help you

determine the market valueof your current home andtherefore the price range youshould be considering in amove up home. You’ll needto determine where youwant to move. Do you wantto stay in the same neigh-bourhood or move on?There are almost as manyconsiderations on location asthere are homes, but a Real-tor is skilled and knowledge-able in all aspects of a realestate transaction and canensure you make a smoothmove.Moving up to meet your

changing lifestyle and needscan be an exhilarating expe-rience. It may also be thebiggest and best investmentyou’ll ever make. If you de-cide to take advantage ofcurrent market conditionsand enhance your invest-ment today, be sure to enlistthe knowledge and expertiseof a Realtor who will be ableto help you choose the bestoption for you.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20A friend is not jealous of you, Capricorn; he orshe is simply proud of all you accomplished.Don't feel badly about bragging a little aboutthe things you've done.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18An altruistic act by someone you know couldinspire you to do your own form of charity,Aquarius. You're of the mind to get involvedwith something that gives back.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20You may seem a little confused this week,Pisces, almost like you're walking in a fog.Take some time to sit and reflect.

The Wellington Dukes will belooking for a little chowdah inBahston this weekend.

The local Junior A hockeyclub is fielding two entries inthe annual John CunniffChowder Cup showcasetournament in Walpole,Foxboro, and Canton, Massa-chusetts starting today andrunning until Sunday.

While the club is nostranger to showcase events,annually participating in theWoodchuck Classic showcaseevent in South Burlington,Vermont for the better part ofthe last decade, this marks thefirst time the team will try outa summer venture.

“The appeal for us was thetime of year,” WellingtonDukes coach and generalmanager Marty Abrams said.“It gives us another look atsome of our prospects andsome of our returning playersto see what kind of progressthey've made over the sum-mer to date.”

The tournament will pro-vide Abrams and assistantcoach Todd Reid a look atnumber of prospects at boththe forward and defence po-sitions but, more importantly,it will provide a look at wherethe Wellington goaltendingsituation stands.

With Tyler Marble havingflown the Dukes coop for theSoo (Michigan) Eagles (whothemselves have defectedfrom the Northern OntarioJunior Hockey League andhave linked up with the inde-pendent North AmericanHockey League), Wellingtonwill be looking for two goal-tenders for the upcoming sea-son.

Andrew Pearson will takemost of the shots for the

White entry while HaydonLavinge and Braydon Banitsi-otis will spilt time in the Redteam's cage.

In limited spot duty lastseason (four games), Pearsonhad three wins and posted a1.64 goals against average forthe Dukes while Banitsiotis(2011) and Lavigne (2012) areBelleville Bulls draft picksand played minor hockey in2011-2012.

A 1996-born player,Lavinge is already beingmentioned by Abramsamong some other top fresh-men netminders the club hasemployed in the past such asNHL draftees Dan Lacostaand Eddie Pasquale.

“We are very comfortablewith him and believe he cancarry on the tradition of someof the elite 16-year-old net-minders we've had in the

past,” Abrams said. “Theother spot is up in the air andit's going to make for atremendous competition inAugust.”

Abrams is envisioning asmall training camp of about30 or so players and leaves nodoubt that the selectionprocess for both prospectsand veterans starts from thedrop of the puck on Thurs-day.

“Some players will weedthemselves out of the processwhile others will elevate theirstanding with us,” Abramssaid.

A look at the Red squadshows just a handful of veter-ans dotting the lineup includ-ing Craig Campbell andJackson Howe while bluechippers Jake Marchment,Jacob Hetherington and ZachBishop make up the majority

of the lineup.Abrams has tapped Picton

Pirates coach and formerDukes assistant Ryan Wood-ward to coach the entry.

Abrams will call the linechanges for the white clubwho has veterans AustinBroadhurst, Josh Gervais,Adam Ritchie and Erick De-laurentis suiting up alongsiderookies Abbot Girduckis,Wyatt Cota, Tim Pandachukand Jordan Brown.

Both squads were putthrough a workout in prepa-ration for the showcase andAbrams liked what he hasseen so far.

“It was a high-tempo,high-pace practice from startfrom finish,” Abrams said.“There is an eagerness, awant to play at our level andwant to play for the Dukes.There is a passion to wear thatjersey, a passion to playhockey in Wellington, and awant to be a part of the com-munity.”Chowder Notes: The event isnamed after the late JohnCunniff, a Massachusetts na-tive who coached in the NewJersey Devils system and,ironically, coached Dukealumnus Bryan Helmer from1996 to 1998 during his timewith the Albany River Rats ofthe American HockeyLeague...A number of OJHLteams and players are in-volved in the tournament in-cluding Aurora and Trenton.Golden Hawks bench bossJerome Dupont has a pair ofclubs participating, mostlymade up of Trenton stockwith a number ofimports...For schedules, ros-ters and results, visitwww.proamhockey.com andclick on the tournaments linkand then select Junior A Eliteunder the 2012 Chowder Cupbanner.

In one of its best seasons,the Wellington Dukes werebuilt around a youth move-ment.

In 2002-2003, the clubemployed several 16 and 17year olds including futureNHLers Derek Smith andLiam Reddox as well asTony Rizzi, Brodie Beard,Trevor Kell, Warren Cooper,Dayne Davis and othersthat would go on to play inthe Ontario Hockey Leagueas the Dukes battled theirway to the Royal Bank Cupin Charlottetown.

It seemed like a great for-

mula at the time andworked very well forWellington but abuses byother Junior hockey clubs atall levels soon promptedHockey Canada to limit thenumber of 16 year olds ajunior team could sign.

Since 2005, Wellingtonand other Ontario JuniorHockey League clubs havebeen able to only sign two16-year-old players per sea-son but that number is aboutto change thanks to somemaneuvering by the OntarioHockey Association.

For past few seasons, theOHA has presented the On-tario Hockey Federationwith a concept that averag-

ing could be done amongstits clubs and it would not af-fect the midget level ofminor hockey, meaning, ifthe 23-team league is al-lowed two 16 year olds perteam (equalling 46 players)it shouldn't matter howthose 46 players are distrib-uted amongst its members.

The OHF agreed andnow Wellington and otherteams have the power toseek out fellow OJHLsquads that won't be utiliz-ing their compliment of 16-year-old players and maysign up to an additional two16 year olds for a maximumof four per team.

Wellington Dukes gen-

eral manager and CoachMarty Abrams said his club,in the wake of the recentagreement, has sought outan additional two cards andhas an agreement with theAurora Tigers in principlefor their two 1996 birth yearcards for the 2012-2013 sea-son.

By his projections,Wellington will have four1996 birth year players thisseason as well as eight 1995birth year players.

If this holds true andAbrams resists the urge toacquire an OHL castoff ortwo, this years edition of theWellington Dukes will quitelikely be the youngest

squad to take the ice inAbrams' dozen or so yearswith the franchise.

“We have a very knowl-edgeable fan base and thefans have spoken that theywant players that want to behere,” Abrams said. “Theylike the younger teams thatgo out and put an effort inevery single night, theywant kids that are going toschool and kids that want togo out and play hockey. TheWellington Dukes are tryingto deliver what the commu-nity wants.”

Abrams admitted the or-ganization being selected asfinalists to host the 2013Dudley Hewitt Cup and

turing this season into abuilding block for a run atthe Royal Bank Cup cham-pionship birth next seasonis in the back of his mind,however, he would like toget an additional two 1997birth year slots next season.

With a youth movementafoot, its likely that someveterans will be moved andAbrams made mention ofthis when talking about thisweekend's John CuniffChowder Cup in Boston,stating some players wouldweed themselves out of the2012-13 training camp selec-tion process with a poorperformance at the tourna-ment.

oPen audition Defenceman Riley McGuire, a Stirling product who skated for the Quinte Major Midget RedDevils last season is one of the prospects the Wellington Dukes are taking to Boston this weekend as two teams of players lookto catch the eye of coach and general manager Marty Abrams for this year’s roster.

A motion from committee ofthe whole has declared theowner of Macaulay Villagesubdivision to be in defaultand has authorized the useof a cash security to com-plete unfinished workwithin the development.

A report from the publicworks department pre-sented to committee of thewhole last week says theowner of the development— Davin Corporation — hasnot completed several as-pects of the development re-quired through thesubdivision agreement. Theoutstanding work relates towater mains, sanitary sew-ers, street lighting, surveybar replacement and as-builtsubdivision plans.

The estimated cost to

completed the outstandingdeficiencies is $70,000. Themaintenance guarantee in-cludes a letter of creditwhich entitles the munici-pality to $55,000 plus fivebuilding lots within the sub-division.

Mayor Peter Mertens saidthe municipality has suffi-ciently covered itself so itwill not incur any costs asso-ciated with completing theoutstanding work.

“If there are things weneed to complete we'vemade sure we've protectedourselves that we have suffi-cient funds to completewhatever is left,” he said.“That's standard practice andit's (public works commis-sioner Robert McAuley's) be-lief that even realizing on oneof those building lots out ofthe five would in all likeli-hood be sufficient to coverour downside.”

Mertens said despitebeing entitled to up to fivebuilding lots, it's not likelythe municipality would needassume ownership of all ofthem.

“If all we really neededwas the one, we would onlyreally exercise the one. Wewouldn't take property fromsomeone in excess of whatwas owed to us or what weneeded to cover our costs,”he said.

The report presented lastThursday says the first stageof the development was ap-proved in May 2007 and inaccordance with the subdivi-sion agreement all of the re-quired works and utilitieswere to be completed withinsix months of the date of theexecution of the agreement.However, the report saysmany requirements werestill outstanding at the endof that time period.

“In spite of repeated writ-ten requests by public worksto Davin to correct the defi-ciencies including a meetingbetween staff and the own-ers, many deficiencies re-main outstanding at thistime,” the report says.

It says public works hastried to contact the ownersmore recently in October2011, April 2012 and June

2012.“No response has been

received to these requests,”the report says.

The report says once thedeficiencies are complete theCounty would be in a posi-tion to recommend the as-sumption of services forStage 1 of the developmentto council.

Dinner, dancing and a lessonin cardiovascular science.

These were just a few ofthe interesting things visitorsto the sold out Prince Ed-ward Cattlemen's Associa-tion's (PECA) beef dinnerfundraiser on Saturday.

The association set a loftyfundraising goal of $50,000this year and have decided toraise that money in supportof the Prince Edward FamilyHealth Team's (PEFHT)much needed cardiac rehabprogram exercise equipment.

All proceeds from thedinner, which also includeda live auction, gift basketsand a prize steer banner auc-tion, went straight to PEFHTfor the exercise equipment.

Co-chair of PECA's steershow committee John Han-cock said this will be the 10thyear for the steer show andits fundraising efforts.

“In the past we've raisedmoney in conjunction with(accounting firm) Wilkinsonfor young people going off toa post-secondary educationin agriculture,” said Han-cock. “This year being the10th anniversary, we wantedto do something a little big-ger.”

He said after looking lo-cally for a worthy cause, theassociation decided to do-

nate to the Family HealthTeam's cardiac rehab pro-gram.

“They said they neededabout $50,000 for that, sowe've taken on that role thissummer of trying to raisethat — this is the first of sev-eral events,” he said. “Wedidn't go looking specificallyfor a cardiac venue, it wasjust something in the localcommunity that would havean impact. It was the firstthing we found and wethought it was a great idea.”

Hancock said it was en-couraging to sell all of the250 tickets that were avail-able.

A steady stream of visi-tors crowded the doors at thePrince Edward CommunityCentre Hall, many comment-

ing on the succulent smell ofcorn fed beef sizzling outsidein a smoker.

The meat may havebrought the visitors in, butHancock said he was hopingthey would leave with morethan just a full stomach.

“The idea tonight was tohave the opportunity to pres-ent the cardiac rehab pro-gram to these people,” hesaid. “We're going to havethe doctors give an outline ofwhat actually the familyhealth team are doing withinthe cardiac program. We'rehoping 250 people will gohome more knowledgeableabout what's happening herein Picton — if that's a successit will be a great night.”

PEFHT executive directorDuff Sprague said everyone

involved with the cardiacrehab program is excitedabout the goal set by PECA.

“We didn't know how wewere going to get the exerciseequipment to run this pro-gram, we need about 10pieces of fairly expensiveequipment,” he said.

The program is a combi-nation of exercise and educa-tion. Physiotherapists andcardiac professionals workwith patients to create heart-strengthening exercises andencourage active lifestyles.

“This exercise programand dedication to lifelong ex-ercise will keep these peopleout of hospital,” saidSprague.

The first class of the pro-gram graduated earlier thisyear after getting up andrunning in February, but hasbeen sharing space at a fit-ness facility. Sprague said thenew space for the programhas already been set up andis just waiting to be filled.

“This is something thiscommunity badly needs,” hesaid. “We went through ourelectronic medical recordsand we saw that 1,500 of ourpatients have had heart inci-dents and 72 of them at anygiven time could benefitfrom this program.”

He said right now theclosest similar program is inKingston. Patients are ex-pected to go three times perweek and Sprague said formany that's not an option.

“That's a lot of money anda lot of time away and a lot ofpeople just can't do it,” hesaid.

He thanked the Cattle-men's Association for their

efforts.“You couldn't ask for a

better group,” he said.Hancock said a portion of

the proceeds from the steershow at the Picton Fair willalso go toward the cause.

“Hopefully it will be abigger and better steer showthan we've had in the past.We should have somewherearound 10 steers and a per-centage of what they sell forat auction will go toward this

— maybe as high as 40 percent,” he said. “The commit-tee also bought a steer andthat's fed and housed by do-nations and that is going tobe sold and 100 per cent ofthe value is going to go to thecardiac rehab centre.”

Additionally, PECA willbe holding a four-course galadinner fundraiser with winepairings at Casa Dea EstatesWinery on Aug. 11 at 6 p.m.The cost is $150 per couple.

Each of us has had parentsor other figures who havestepped in to fill a parentalrole in our lives. Inevitably,they’ve all brought theirown quirks to the role.Some lead to smiles and

laughter, others lead tonervousness and quarrel,but ultimately they arequite memorable.Playwright Michel

Tremblay happened to havea mother with a number ofquirks herself — she had awild imagination, a knackfor stories and exaggera-tions, a genuine concern forher son, and several otherhabits developed in life.It was those qualities the

renowned Tremblaywanted to capture when hewrote Encore une fois si vouspermittez, later translated

into the English For thePleasure of Seeing Her Againby Linda Gaboriau. Essentially, he’d bring

her back to life and gothrough different stages ofhis youth as an adult, re-membering his emotionsand showing how his rela-tionship changed with hismother over time, showingher the life he’d made afterher worries of him being“unsettled.”To start its sixth season,

the Festival Players ofPrince Edward County puton the show at Mt. Tabor inboth English and French.Despite not being a

mother herself, Ottawa’sRachel Robillard seemed tonail a weighty portion oftext and give Nana a gen-uine, believable qualitythat most could find bothhumour and real-life paral-

lels to.“I'm French Canadian to

start off with and thiswoman Nana is a mix ofevery woman — everyalpha female —in my fam-ily, specifically my paternalgrandmother,” said Ro-billard. “It comes from aplace of personal experi-ence which I think is impor-tant for an actor, you can'tmake everything up.”Though there are mo-

ments when her son (PaulRainville) opens his mouthto reply, the performance isalmost more monologue asRobillard delivers passageafter passage, sharing herprofound concern when hegot in trouble, her distastefor some members of thefamily, and her wonder forthe lifestyle her son haschosen.“It’s a good thing I’m a

natural-born talker,” shejoked, adding she’s beenworking on the script inboth languages since May,often going three or fourhours after rehearsal anygiven day.While Robillard may

steal the show with her de-livery and timing, the effortwould be lost without

Rainville’s support in asomewhat challenging rolefor any actor.It's a great chemistry,”

Robillard said of a fellowOttawa native. “It's quite

challenging for him to dothe amount of listening hedoes. It's not passive at all,it's incredibly active. He'svery supportive. If I dosome play acting andchange a few things upevery night, he's right backin with me.”Rainville, who returns

to the festival after playingMr. Deeds in The Ballad ofWeedy Peetstraw last year,says there’s a lot of intriguein the story they portray.“Everybody has a

mother. It's a great relation-ship that he's created be-tween himself and hismother and he gets to sayall the things he never gotto say to her,” he said. “Foranyone who has beenthrough a situation wherethey wanted to go back andreshape the way events un-folded, there's an enormousdelight in bringing her backand basking in her story-telling.Knowing Tremblay’s

own story also adds to theenjoyment of this playRainville said, noting the

playwright was involved ina change of the way Que-beckers saw themselves.“He's part of the van-

guard that signalled thegreat awakening of Quebe-cois culture,” he said.“When Quebec became adistinct people. Up untilthen, Quebec had looked toFrance more than its ownstories.”For much of his life,

Tremblay was outspokenabout Quebec sovereigntyand disagreed with hisplays being produced inEnglish in Quebec. He alsorefused the Order ofCanada in 1990.The political questions

are handled in a subtle wayin this play as his characterasks his mother about no-bility and tales from France,while she admits she won-ders about some of hisviews and the people he as-sociates with.The dual-language na-

ture of the play is fascinat-ing, given the staging ispractically the same,though the actors had tolearn two sets of dialogue— and they go back andforth between the two on aday’s notice.“It’s a bit of a mind-

something, a real chal-lenge,” said Robillard.“You’ve got both texts inyour head and it takes awhile to get them set so youdon’t mix them up.”Rainville agreed, but

stated director CraigHolzschuh has been great atchallenging the actors tokeep in touch with bothscripts and the fact the ac-tors have been billeted atthe same house made thevigorous rehearsals moreeasy to manage.He said he believes the

idea to stage one play intwo languages is a wiseone.“(Artistic director )

Sarah Phillips has done agreat job in adding this ele-ment of a bilingual show,”he said. “There are lots oftourists that are bilingual,taking advantage of that isa shrewd, artistic decisionto make.”Holzschuh, no stranger

to the county with family inthe Bath area, said leadingup to the show, many of therequests for interviews heand his cast fielded camefrom French-languagesources.Regardless, he agreed it

is a show that can be en-joyed regardless of lan-guage.“It's a nice homage,” he

said. “Audiences have aquick connection to Nana.Off the bat, she may seem alittle gruff to people, butthey really dig in and feelbad for her in the end. Youcan tell in that last scenepeople are listening reallyintently, every little jokethey react to.”The simple story and the

straightforward staging onthe intimate boards of Mt.Tabor also work in endear-ing this show to audiences.There is nothing to distractfrom the pure emotion de-livered by the veteran ac-tors and well-crafted textThe run continues at Mt.

Tabor until July 27. A de-tailed schedule includingEnglish and French dates isavailable at www.festi-valplayers.ca. Tickets areavailable throughwww.countytix.ca or bycalling 613-471-1991.

“There's no benefit to any-body down here except forthe people that receive rentfor having the turbines ontheir property — that's it.”

Trimble said he wasn'tsure if the results of thevote would change any-one's mind with regard tolocating the turbines inSouth Marysburgh, butheld hope that it could.

“I think the governmenthas its mind made up. (Pre-mier Dalton) McGuinty didsay that communities thatdon't want them will bedown lower on the list asfar as having to acceptthem. I'm hoping that

makes a difference,” hesaid.

Prince Edward-HastingsMPP Todd Smith said theresult of the vote was a re-sounding statement ofwhere South Marysburghresidents stand on the in-dustrial wind turbineissue, with over 90 per centof those who voted votingagainst placing turbines inthe ward.

“It was actually a betterturnout for the referendumin South Marysburgh thanthere was for any of the lastthree federal, provincial ormunicipal elections, so ob-viously it's something thathas touched a lot of peoplein Prince Edward County,

particularly in SouthMarysburgh where theseturbines are planned,”Smith said.

He said since the resultsof the referendum havebeen released he has writ-ten a letter to Premier Dal-ton McGuinty citing theresults and residents' viewon the topic.

Smith also noted anApril article in the BellevilleIntelligencer whereMcGuinty said communi-ties which clearly show amajority who don't wantturbines will placed behindcommunities that do whenconsidering projects.

“I've written a letter tothe premier just reminding

him of his statement thatday and also informed himof the results of the referen-dum on Saturday,” Smithsaid. “Hopefully he willsee fit to encourage his en-vironment minister to turndown the EBR proposal forthe Gilead project and theWhite Pines project aswell.”

Smith said the reactionacross the province to theresults of the referendumwould be interesting to see.He said he knows there arecommunities in Ontariowho are willing to host theturbines, noting Chatham-Kent as one, but he saidclearly the county is notamong them.

“It only makes sensethat if there are willing hostcommunities out there … ifthey want to put (turbines)up that they go there,”Smith said. “Prince Ed-ward County has made itvery clear, both the munic-ipal council and now theresidents of South Marys-burgh, that they don't wantthese there. I'm not exactlysure why a governmentwould want to force thesethings on a communitythat doesn't want them.”

Smith said the recent an-nouncement that HealthCanada and StatisticsCanada will jointly investi-gate health effects associ-ated with turbines presentsa perfect opportunity forthe province to step backand put a moratorium onwind projects until thestudy is complete.

South Marysburgh Mirrorpublisher and editor SteveFerguson said through allthe talk about wind tur-bines, the one question thathe kept mulling was howmany residents actuallywanted the turbines andhow many didn't. He saidthe vote was a way to an-swer that question and geta good understanding ofwhat exactly the commu-nity wants.

“My role was to quan-tify the feelings of the com-

munity and turn those re-sults over to the commu-nity and people in thecommunity can do as theywish,” Ferguson said.

Ferguson said he be-lieves the vote to be thefirst of its kind in theprovince. Upon announc-ing the vote he said hewasn't sure what the reac-tion would be, but as timewent on it became evidentthe vote was going to at-tract a lot of attention.

“It became evident thatthis was top of mind with alot of people and I wasvery impressed on Satur-day with how preparedpeople were,” he said.“They arrived with theirdrivers license, they ar-rived with other documen-tation that they were tiedto the community, theywere genuinely thankful tobe given an opportunity tohave a say — that was re-ally quite gratifying.”

Ferguson said eventhough there were 542 bal-lots cast, there were actu-ally more than 600 peoplelooking to vote.

“A bunch had to be dis-qualified because they ei-ther weren't in SouthMarysburgh or their iden-tification didn't check out,”he said.

While some people may bechosen to contribute tomore than one item,Mertens said the randomselection process will en-sure balanced input from avariety of sources.

“If you have somethingthat's related to agricultureand you're looking for aspecific level of expertise,then you would look forpeople who could fulfillthat level of expertise,” hesaid. “But in general just toget general comment andgeneral ideas, it would befrom the larger body and itwould be random selec-tion.”

A report prepared byCounty clerk VictoriaLeskie submitted to com-mittee of the whole lastweek says there is addedbenefit for both residentsand the municipality underthe new program. The mu-nicipality will have a newway of gathering publicinput and participation andwill provide individualswith a greater understand-ing of local government, thereport says.

“The community willbenefit by allowing morecitizens to become in-formed about issues, strate-gies and/or plans and ingeneral become moreknowledgeable about localgovernment,” the reportsays.

In exchange for theirparticipation participantswill be provided with “acomprehensive orientationand ongoing informationand education” about themunicipality.

The report says the pro-gram is unique among mu-nicipalities because of theunlimited and unrestrictednature of the citizen partici-pation involved and be-cause of the randomselection process for spe-cific projects and issues.

“Initially the idea was

presented as an alternativeto the sub-committee sys-tem (advisory and ad hoccommittees). Council andpublic comment identifiedreluctance to take this step,at least until the new ap-proach proved successful,”the report says. “As a resultit has been created as an en-hancement to the subcom-mittee system.”

Mertens said any timethere is access to a broaderbase of experience andbroader input, it leads tobetter decisions. He saidthat goes both for commit-tees and for council.

“That's really what theobjective is — informationthat's coming to council forcouncil to make a decisionand the more thorough thatis, the more complete thatis, and the more balancedthat is from every direction,the better able is council tomake those decisions,”Mertens said.

Council will have the op-tion of referring matters orseeking resident participa-tion if it is determined to bea benefit to the topic athand.

If council approves theprogram, a project planwould be developed andwould include the develop-ment of intake process andtiming, monitoring andevaluation methods, identi-fication of budget and othermethods. The goal wouldbe to launch the program in2013.

As for financial implica-tions, the report says exist-ing citizen engagementinitiatives are incorporatedinto specific project budgetsand that would be expectedto continue. Where it can't itwould be included in thedepartmental operatingbudget. Initial and addi-tional annual advertising,promotion and orientationcosts are estimated at ap-proximately $3,000.

This has certainly been achallenging year for gar-deners. First the long warmspells in very early springfollowed by the blast ofcold that set gardens backand now extreme heat withno rain in sight.

This is a very good timeto take out our gardeningjournals and make somenotes of plants to put in thisfall and next spring that cantolerate or even resistdrought.

Drought-resistant anddrought-tolerant plants areoften referred to as thesame thing, but they’re not.A drought tolerant plantcan tolerate a period of timewithout water. A drought-resistant plant has mecha-nisms that allow it to livefor very long periods with-out water – think plantsthat live in the desert. So, alldrought resistant plants aredrought tolerant but not alldrought tolerant plants aredrought resistant.

Drought-resistant plantshave characteristic such asaromatic foliage which isthe essential oil of the planwhich acts like a suntan lo-tion for the plant. Thyme,sage and lavender are ex-amples. They may havehairy foliage such as lamb’s

ear or very small leavessuch as potentilla andbaby’s breath or they mayhave a waxy coating ontheir leaves such as sedum.

Some plants have silveryor gray foliage caused bylayers of white hairs on theleaf surface which reducewater loss by reflecting thesun’s rays and holdingmoisture. Examples wouldinclude salvia and arteme-sia. They may have fleshyleaves that store water suchas cactus and sedum.

Drought tolerant plantsshare many characteristics

with drought resistantplants and additionallygenerally have large fleshyfibrous roots or long taproots that reach deep intothe soil to collect water andstore moisture that, whenestablished, enable them towithstand periods of pro-longed drought.

When establishingdrought-tolerant plants,you should be sure that theplanting site has the propersoil conditions to allow fordeep root development.The first year requires con-sistent watering so the plantcan send its roots deep intothe soil. Perennials thatgrow in drought conditionsdo not need a lot of fertil-izer and do best when theyreceive nutrients from natu-ral sources such as manureor compost. Perennialsshould be planted awayfrom trees and shrubs sothey do not compete forwater.

Drought tolerant anddrought resistant perenni-als include purple cone-flower, marguerite daisy,yarrow, butterflyweed,sage, lavender, sedum,coreopsis, false indigo, redvalerian, gaillardia, hardygazania, flax, penstemon,poppy, evening primrose,

columbine, spurge, ajuga,lamb’s ear, artemisia.pasque flower, and orna-mental grasses just to namea few.

Eventually all plantsneed water. When you seea wilted plant, give it adrink but do be sure towater it deeply and infre-quently to discourage theroots from turning up to thesurface.

If you are looking forsomething garden relatedbut are trying to keep awayfrom heavy gardeningchores in the heat, youshould come by the newlyrenovated gardens atMacaulay House and ad-mire the work of some Mas-ter Gardeners and othervolunteers who have spentmany busy hours there get-ting the gardens into shape.They are harvesting fruitnow and making it intojam. Renowned gardener,Marjorie Harris will bemaking an appearance atthe Regent on Saturday,July 21 at 11 a.m.. Marjorieis the gardening columnistfor the Globe and Mail andthe editor of Gardening Lifemagazine. She is not onlyan expert gardener but anentertaining and interestingspeaker as well.

SUPPORTED BY MAJOR LOCAL SPONSORS

Music and the smell of siz-zling burgers on the grillpermeated the air outsideof Picton Sobeys on Satur-day — it was a barbecuewith a social conscience.

The barbecue was beingheld by Picton Sobeys withproceeds going to supportthe County of Prince Ed-ward Public Library.

Picton Sobeys ownerJamie Yeo said he jumpedat the chance to help outafter being approached bythe library.

“Any time we can helpout the community, we tryto do something,” said Yeo.

Aside from selling ham-burgers and hot dogs out-side, cashiers were alsoasking customers for cashcontributions inside.

Customers who con-tributed $2 to support thelibrary had their nameswritten on a leaflet with thestatement “I support liter-acy and lifelong learning inmy community” andposted in the window.

Yeo said he is alwayswilling to use the resourcesat his disposal to help out agood cause, noting thestore is also a regular con-tributor to Hospice and theAir Cadets.

“It's a privilege to oper-ate a business in this com-munity so I like to help

out,” he said. “I had a spaceon my calendar to do it andit's a good cause.”

Picton branch managerChristine Renaud said allfunds raised through thebarbecue and leafletswould be spread across allcounty library branches.

“Even though it's theCounty of Prince EdwardPublic Library, people thinkit's Picton, but it's actuallyWellington and all the otherbranches, all six of them,”she said.

She said the moneywould got toward markingnecessary improvements tothe libraries and increasingthe collection of books. Shesaid the money would es-

pecially go to support pro-grams for families, youngchildren and seniors.

She said the supportfrom the community andfrom Yeo was greatly ap-preciated.

“Really we couldn'thave hoped for more,” shesaid.

Renaud said the libraryprinted 500 leaflets andwithin an hour more than200 had been purchasedand placed in the window.

She said in a time whenbudgets are getting tighter,it's more important thanever to support the li-braries.

“We're all very con-scious of how much the li-

brary can offer the commu-nity and we want to keepoffering that and so we'rebeing proactive and gettingout there,” she said.

Renaud said the libraryhas more fundraisingevents coming up includ-ing a presentation fromMarjorie Harris on July 21at 11 a.m. at the RegentTheatre.

Renaud said the libraryis also looking for opportu-nities to partner with otherorganizations wherever itcan.

“We know it is a tighttime and we're doingeverything we can to beable to offer programs tothe community,” she said.
