DESCRIPTION
ÂTRANSCRIPT
Brenda McQuaid was hav-ing a hard time preparingto play ball last Wednesdayat the Picton fairgrounds.After going to the park
with her cousin TashaFoote, McQuaid heard a lotof commotion coming fromMain Street and shecouldn’t help but think theworst at the time.“I just heard a lot of
sirens,” she recalled. “Ithought maybe there’s afire or an accident. I wasjust thinking somethingwas wrong.”It turns out something
was right. More than 175people, including some Mc-Quaid had never met ral-lied to walk throughdowntown Picton just tobrighten her day.A single mother of two,
McQuaid was diagnosedwith stage four adinocarcenoma cancer in both ofher lungs last year. Intensechemotherapy started lastfall to maintain the cancerhad not been successful inlimiting it, leaving Mc-Quaid only limited andcostly options for treat-ment.Recently, a few friends
saw a blog McQuaidposted online looking fordonations and help to gothrough the process, whichhas also prevented her from
work.Longtime friend Brandy-
lee Bradley-Wilkes recalledgetting a message from herfriend Carrie Philip aboutthe blog. Both agreed at thetime they wanted to helpsomehow.The friends decided
they’d make a hope box tobring donations and cardsto McQuaid and they alsothought to put an event onFacebook and invite asmany people as they could
to participate in it.“It turned out huge,
much more quickly thanwe thought it would,” shesaid. “The first day we had60 people, the second day100, and then more than150 the third.”Wednesday night, those
people gathered at theMary Street parking lot.The were young and old,some from town and somenot. One woman, also acancer survivor, came from
the Belleville area just to bepart of the event. Manywore purple — McQuaid’sfavourite colour, and car-ried balloons or inspira-tional signs for the walk.Bradley-Wilkes said
likely most were drawn byMcQuaid’s own positive at-titude in the face of her sit-uation. “Absolutely, she has been
so positive,” she said. “Younever see that girl without asmile on her face.”She said that a few years
ago, even before she was di-agnosed McQuaid joined aRelay For Life team shehelped organize even with-out knowing who the teamwas walking for and she andher boys were right at thecentre of the activities.Behind the escort of two
police cars and in front of abus donated for the event,the mob wound its waydown Elizabeth Street andacross Main chantingBrenda’s name and gettinglouder as they reached thehome stretch past Shire Hallto the fairgrounds complex.Once the group entered
into the park, McQuaid’smom TerryLee Davidsonraced ahead and embracedher as she wiped away thetears forming in herdaughter’s eyes.Many more tears flowed
from a wide range of faces asthe entire parade entered intochoruses of Stand By Me andLean on Me as they tookturns embracing McQuaidand dropping messages intothe hope box until it wasjammed full.

About a decade ago and theirindustry in shambles due tothe outbreak of bovinespongiform encephalopathy(BSE), The cattlemen of PrinceEdward County were in needof a helping hand.They got that hand thanks
to a caring community whounderstood that this Countywas founded on the princi-ples of doing a good turn foryour neighbour when he orshe is in need.In recent years, it's been the
Prince Edward Cattlemen’sAssociation’s (PECA ) turn togive back and while they'vesupported agricultural youthgroups like the local 4-H beefclub and sponsored an agri-culture scholarship throughproceeds of their annual steershow and sale, the associationhas taken on a much broadertask in supporting the PrinceEdward Family Health Team(PEFHT) and their plan to es-tablish a local and fully func-tioning cardiac rehabprogram.This past weekend, the
PECA organized and hosted awonderful gala dinner andlive auction at Casa Dea Es-tates Winery, raising over$20,000 for the program's ex-ercise equipment fund.The fund will offset the
costs of treadmills, ellipticalmachines, rowing machines,gym mats and other needs forwhen the program is fullyramped up at its new locationat the Picton Clinic.The cost of this equipment,
like other medical equipment,is not covered through theMinistry of Health and Long-term Care.According to PEFHT exec-
utive director Duff Sprague,the program has been run-ning since April but has beenscattered, using facilities at thePrince Edward Fitness andAquatic Centre and other lo-cations.The fact the program is
now up and running is greatnews for Prince EdwardCounty residents that haveundergone a coronaryepisode.

McQuaid was left almostspeechless by the generositydisplayed.
“I appreciate every-body’s support. I reallydon’t know what else to sayright now,” she said.
According to Bradley-Wilkes, thousands of dollarsof donations rolled in, how-ever, that was always thesecondary focus of what shewas hoping to achieve thatnight.
“It wasn’t really aboutraising money, it was aboutlifting her spirits and show-ing Brenda that we’re allhere for her,” she said.
Davidson said her entirefamily was really moved bythe outpouring of supportshown for her daughter —not only in the parade, butrepeatedly since the di-agnosis in September.
“We are blessed to live insuch a tight knit communitythat certainly comes to-gether in times of need,” shesaid. “We would like to ex-press our deepest thanks to
each and every one in-volved, whether it was theplanning or the gathering ofdonated funds, it trulymeans everything to knowthat we are not in this fightalone.”
Coupled with the pa-rade, there was an onlineauction staged to benefitMcQuaid, while many peo-ple in the county have alsocome forward to do whatthey can through events likeyard sales, penny drives,and fundraisers.
The Heritage Hall hasalso been involved and theydonated the money raisedfrom one of their Sundaymeals to help the family
with the battle. The crowd lingered
around the fairgrounds for awhile exchanging encour-agements, and — in a betterframe of mind than whenshe arrived — McQuaidsaid she was preparing toplay her baseball game justas she always would.
“I’m going to try, at least,if my eyes aren’t swelledshut by them” she said, stillwiping away tears.

SocialNotes
Like the many classic cars itattracts each summer, thePrince Edward Auto Club’sAmeliasburgh Street Meetjust gets better with finetuning and age.On the shores of Roblin
Lake for the 38th install-ment this weekend, theclub’s president DaveGrimmon said the show isnothing like it was when itstarted on Salmon Point.“You know, when the
show first started all theguys were 20 years old.When you're 20, you thinkthings last forever,” he said.“ I'm 65 and you get think-ing you need someone tomove it on if you want it tokeep going. To do that getfamilies coming in andhopefully the kids will getinterest in everything.”Over time, and particu-
larly in the past five years,Grimmon says the showhas really evolved into afamily-friendly activity. It is one of the few car
shows where owners cancamp right next to theirclassic vehicles and it isalso one of the few wherethere are children’s gamesworked right into the itin-erary for the weekend.Even the types of cars
allowed makes the eventone that’s geared to an all-ages audience.“Right now it's suppos-
edly pre-'79. The older carsare getting far more expen-sive. A 40-year-old withtwo kids can't go out andbuy $100,000 or even$50,000 roadrunners, but hewill go out and buy a Mus-tang GT or Camaro,” hesaid. “It’s still a family carbut a sports car. Really,just about anyone who hasdone something to their car,
we can handle it.”The prizes in Amelias-
burgh have also changed toreflect that trend. Instead ofawarding show prizes bydecade, the Street Meet par-ticipants are now invited toselect their top 10 cars fromthe entire show regardlessof their vintage.While rain clouds were
looking a bit ominous,heading into the weekendon Friday, Grimmon saidhe felt the show had thepotential to be the best yet.“We normally get 75
people preregistered andthis year we had 100. Thattypically represents about50 per cent of all entrants,”he said. “We’ve had a phe-nomenal response fromoutside (the club).”Grimmon said he felt he
was born with an interest incars. He bought a 1970GTX new and said that waspiqued his interest. Backthen, he said cars drew theinterest of more youth asthey didn’t have to com-pete with some of the gadg-ets people use today.“Back then, the muscle
cars were the big thing. Wedidn’t have all these elec-tronics or WiFi,” he said.Grimmon’s wife and son
have also jumped into clas-sic cars wholeheartedly andhelp out with the show.There on the grounds,
they have a number offriends they typically meetthis time of year, many withsimilar stories.Dee Gaunt said that she
and her wife Ed have beentrekking to Ameliasburghsince the show’s earlystages. Now, however, theirchildren and grandchildrenare joining them too.“We have three genera-
tions now, it’s awesome,”she said. “It’s a good, cleanfamily-oriented weekendthat just happens to be car-related.”Gaunt said that she and
her husband have fiveshow cars now with theirenthusiasm — and actuallytheir livelihood — comingfrom their exposure to clas-sic cars at a young age.“I started working on
cars when I was 13, myhusband much, much soon-
er,” she said. “I’ve alwaysbeen interested in cars andsince I was five, I wasdetermined I’d own myown ‘57 Chevy. It took along time, but I’ve done it.”Gaunt said she and her
husband own an autorepair shop in Trenton andspecialize in the repair ofclassic cars. Not surprising-ly, she said, most of theircientele finds its way toAmeliasburgh also.“When you start build-
ing a car from the frame up,you put a lot of time, effort,blood, sweat and tears intoit,” she said. “You wantsomeone who is going torespect it the way you do.”

The lake we were on has nopublic access. You need to knowsomeone. That’s what makesthis lake so special, for you arealone with only its wildlife resi-dents for company.This day is indeed very spe-
cial. The early morning fog hasnot yet lifted as we paddlealong over a mirror-like surface,with the distant shoreline barelypeeking through the smokyhaze of daybreak. As the sunseizes brief moments to pokethrough openings in the mist, itilluminates the distant woods,sending mirrored images of thetrees upon the glass-flat water. Then, as briefly as the sun
appears, the fog takes controlonce again and cloaks the waterin an almost surreal backdrop ofshadowy hardwoods. Unlikedrought stricken trees else-where that are showing signs ofstress, these trees are green andvibrant for they are part of thisswamp where water is not anissue.We pass by some curious
cattle on a dry, upland pasturefield, one of few open areasalong this shoreline. Through-out the lake’s perimeter, itsshores are buffered by impres-sive mats of white water lilies,accented by forests of lavenderblue pickerelweed. On rootbound embankments, swamploosestrife keeps the inclinesfrom eroding. Despite its name, it is not re-
lated to loosestrife, nor is it awillow which is its other name.Water-willow prefers this envi-ronment, growing tall, then, bysheer weight of its blossomsand foliage, gently bends overto seemingly caress the water asthough in some kind of spiritualceremony.A distant loon yodels but we
fail to catch sight of it until weare finished with our paddle.
But, the morning is filled withthe sounds of great blue heronsin flight. Their cousin, thediminutive green heron, is pres-ent too. Not in ones and twos aswe normally find these shycreatures of creeks and shore-lines, but in small groups(known in bird-speak as a“siege”) of up to four at a time.Where had they come from,and where are they going sopurposefully? We ended themorning with at least 12 andthat is a high number indeed forsuch a relatively small body ofwater.The water is shallow in this
lake and we scrape bottom afew times and struggle to getover areas saturated with siltand decaying aquatic plants. Inother areas, the water is deep,but decidedly murky. Wetlandbirds love such conditions andothers show up, like a singleblue-winged teal, pied-billedgrebes, and spotted sandpipersbouncing along nervously onthe tips of their wings beside themuddy shoreline. There are fishhere or, at least, the promise offish, as several belted kingfish-ers fly their determined route
over the water to perches thatsummon them from the oppo-site shore. Two American bitterns fly
shoulder to shoulder, focussedon some far off destination, forthey don’t stop. It is truly a dayfor birds. A David Attenbor-ough video could not producebetter variety.Some birds we don’t see, but
we can hear. A greater yel-lowlegs is never found, eventhough at one point we feel asthough we can reach out andtouch it somewhere. Yet, it callsseveral times, its diagnosticthree-syllabled whistle piercingthe shoreline from some hiddenbog. The drawling note of acommon tern, more symbolic ofPresqu’ile than anywhere here,is heard. Finally, we spot it, fly-ing overhead, later followed bya Caspian tern, uncharacteristi-cally quiet as it passes by.Swamp sparrows belabour
heavy chipping sparrow qualitynotes from deep within the cat-tails, but missing from centrestage are the prattles frommarsh wrens. At this time of theyear they are usually verychatty as they become more gre-garious preparatory to the flightsouth. No soras, no Virginiarails, but something that soundslike a least bittern gives a fewindistinct cuckoo-like notes, butthe call is not heard again. Per-haps a bullfrog as there are afew chortles from them as weskirt the edge of the marsh.For most, it is the summer
doldrums when it is too hot tosing for no reason. We won’thear much vocalization frombirds until next month whenautumnal recrudescence kicksin. That is when the photope-riod becomes similar to whatthey experience in the spring,and their reproductive proclivi-ties return for an encore.
Still, we hear much for anAugust morning. One – no,two — eastern wood-peweessing from the woodland, seem-ingly carrying on a distant con-versation with each other. Justonce, a faint interrogation froma red-eyed vireo sifts throughthe trees, one of few birds thatsings monotonously all daylong, no matter what the tem-perature.As expected, a small gaggle
of Canada geese is seen on thefar shore, their shadowy formsshimmering above the surfaceof the water like a mirage. Ascattering of ducks shows up inthe binoculars as silhouettesagainst the sun; likely mallards.It happens that way some-times. Skilled ears and a feel forprofiles can attach names tosome birds, while others re-main unidentified. The abundance of water-
fowl and wetland birds on ourleisurely paddle may be attrib-uted to the absence this year ofa resident pair of mute swanson this lake, a species thatdrives native birds from theirnesting grounds with unfor-giving and often, fatal attacks.The lake is rebounding.We need moments like this,
when, without apology, we canslip a canoe or kayak into thewater and just let Naturesoothe the soul, if only for a lit-tle while before returning to thestress of day to day concerns. Itwas my third time here, on alake that fails to disappoint.

unexpected growth Picton resident Wilma Smith said this unidentified mushroom popped upSunday morning and grew to the size pictured here by Tuesday afternoon. The mushroom grew out of thedecomposing stump of a tree. Smith said she has tried to identify the mushroom, even contacting HighlineMushrooms’ Wellington plant, but had been unable to do so as of press time. (Chad Ibbotson/Gazette staff)
WITH Quebec expecting to head to the polls in thecoming months and Premier Jean Charest’s popu-larity hovering among the lowest levels of anyprovincial leader in Canada, it appears ourneighbouring province is once again going to begoverned by a party leaning toward sovereignty.
That doesn’t necessarily mean that Quebeckerswill head right back to the polls for a referendum onseparation — nor does it necessarily mean theywant to leave confederation, they are just simplydisenfranchised with the governance of the partythat has championed itself as federalist. A recentAngus Reid poll suggests that just one-fifth of Que-bec residents felt that backing the Parti Quebecoiswould be support of going down that road. AcrossCanada, only a slightly higher number (29 per cent)fear that is going to happen in the coming years.
While it may not be soon enough for themembers of that party who left caucus over aperceived snail’s pace of the sovereignty cause, orthe many people in Quebec who counted medals bythat province’s athletes separately at the recentOlympic Games, the vote likely will mean a Quebecgovernment that’s not afraid to push in every way itcan for its own self interest in receiving specialpowers within the Canadian Confederation, whilestill working to build up separatist sentiment to thepoint where it may one day be a viable question.
The trouble with this approach is that it isn’texactly in the nation’s interest to be deciding how itis going to cater to Quebec when it is workingthrough a broader economic crisis — and thus, thepotential Quebec government is pushing all thebuttons it needs to push to create anti-federalistsentiment in future years.
The trick of it all is that, right now, Canadiansdon’t need to be bothering themselves with how tosatisfy Quebec, but rather how to best move for-ward with one of the world’s leading economies,which also happens to be blessed with anabundance of natural resources. These aren’t thedays of Jean Chretien, either, where a majoritygovernment was built on Quebec. Stephen Harp-er’s majority barely made a dent there, and thus, helikely knows that unless the Liberals can get theirown acts together to capture the whole province —a long shot with a separatist party in provincial gov-ernment and no leader of yet— or the NDP find away to surge, he doesn’t need to pander to Quebecto become elected the next time around.
Perhaps it is best that Ottawa just ignore thethreat of a referendum and the demands of thepotential Quebec government, unless they aredemands shared by all provincial partners at thetable and let the situation play out as it may. In thatsituation, the Parti Quebecois may realize they’d bemore profitable focusing on the issues they can fixwithin their own borders which encapsulate thesociety they purport to care most about, rather thanseeking concessions or a pie-in-the-sky separation.

I woke up early Fridaymorning, looked out myfront window and noticedthe blue bag filled with thelocal newspapers. First off Idumped the gazillion I-never-look-at flyers into therecycle bin, and then took thepapers back to bed with mymorning cuppa cuppa look-ing to be inspired. I shouldhave done what I normallydo in the morning; do mymorning meditation fol-lowed by yoga. I’ll do it afterI write this letter.What a disappointment.
Not that the local news isbad, but, the ‘big picture’ isnot evident. The papers areall about garagistes, the hun-dreds of realtors luring yetanother tourist to embrace‘The County”, and movehere, Cherry Jubilees, felineart to help the humane soci-eties ‘out of control’ cat accu-
mulation, ‘to wind turbine ornot to wind turbine’, yet an-other festival or craft fair toentertain us and lure us tohand over our cash or keepus drunk.
Is everyone asleep, I askmyself? Many people I meetare in complete denial of ortotally uninformed of thepending earth changes andunderlying despotism andthe complete complacencyhappening in our govern-ment offices doesn’t helpmatters either. It seems thatthe dark forces are still hav-ing a heyday — distractinghumans. I’m looking forsome meat and potatoes,some truth to be exposed,some message of the earthchanges that are transpiringin our world today in mylocal newspapers despite thefact that the government isnot making statements to
this affect. There is some-thing transpiring on this fineplanet that has long beenpredicted and several wellrespected Russian scientistsare now revealing.We can no longer ignore
the fact that the earth’s northpole shifting has practicallydoubled in the past 50 years,that earthquakes and geo-mantic explosions all winterin Siberia (reported at theGeophysical Institute inSiberia) have created ourwarmest and driest winteron record in North America,and that the rapid melting ofthe ice on the poles will cre-ate either a geomantic rever-sal or a geomantic excursion,perhaps as soon as July, 2013.The magnetics of earthchanging rapidly are prelim-inary precataclysm signals. Check out the crop circles
that have been manifesting
in the U.K. thissummer...there are messagesin them from the manyETC’s that are making them.And don’t tell me they arehoaxes either. Have a look attheir complexity. I’ve had thepleasure of spending 10 daysstanding in them in the U.K.and receiving one a fewyears ago on my northernBritish Columbia propertythat my military fighter pilotex-husband will verify. It is time to wake up; pay
attention to what is comingup for humanity and ourplanet...like global purifica-tion, in which case one needsto prepare for change by em-bracing awareness. If you arenot prepared for everythingyou are prepared for noth-ing.

John Legate writes that “bigoil” is deathly afraid ofwind energy. Why then arethey building wind turbinesall over Ontario and else-where? Tar sands money is be-
hind the Ostrander Point
project as well as many oth-ers in Ontario. All the morereason to be skeptical aboutthe results of StephenHarper’s study of thehealth effects of turbines.A few days ago Harper
spoke from Calgary about
how the Gateway oilpipeline assessment wouldbe based only on science. The week before he had
announced that no matterwhat the joint review panelrecommends for thepipeline that his cabinet
would make the final deci-sion. I didn’t know that
Harper’s cabinet is made upof scientists.

In 2014 we will have resultsfrom Health Canada’s re-search on adverse health ef-fects from industrial windturbines built close to resi-dences. This will help futuregovernments plan safe tur-bine locations. Meanwhile, asturbine construction contin-ues, thousands more Canadi-ans are being subjected toundetermined degrees ofrisk. Something must bedone now.Health Canada already
has sufficient evidence of ad-verse health effects to justifyits major investment in thisstudy involving its proposed
sample of 2000 Canadians.That evidence s is surely suf-ficient to justify an immediatemoratorium on further con-struction of IWTs, using the“precautionary principle”routinely used to keep foodand drug products off themarket until proven safe. According to its web site,
Health Canada’s first Objec-tive is: “By working withothers in a manner that fos-ters the trust of Canadians,Health Canada strives to:Prevent and reduce risks toindividual health and theoverall environment…etc”. Health Canada now
needs to maintain the trust ofCanadians by preventing andreducing further health risksfrom IWTs. Until research results are
available, it needs to prohibitthe operation of turbineswithin at least 5 km from res-idences, within which dis-tance the health effects will beresearched.To enable its research,
Health Canada may need toallow some turbines to con-tinue for a limited time.However, Health Canadaalso needs to minimize fur-ther risks from these massivegenerators of electricity,
noise, vibration, infrasoundand “shadow flicker” by pro-hibiting their ongoing opera-tion near residences until itsresearch is complete.Many Canadians have al-
ready reported adversehealth effects. While themoratorium is in effect, gov-ernments will have an oppor-tunity to discuss howCanadians may be compen-sated for health concerns al-ready caused by turbinesconstructed too close to theirhomes.

WHATTAM’SCOMMUNITY CALENDAR
The Community Calendar is donated as a public service to our community by
The Whattam Funeral Home,33 Main St., West, Picton (613-476-2450)
Next Friday, Picton Rotari-ans and their guests will beteeing up in an attempt tomake a difference locally.The 23rd annual Wilf
Harrison Memorial CharityGolf Tournament is oneway the club brings inmoney to support thePrince Edward CountyMemorial Hospital as wellas other community causes.“It’s one of our three
major fundraisers alongwith the oyster fest andcash calendar,” said presi-dent Kirsten Musgrove.“Generally it raises about$15,000.”The tournament, which
used to be known as theRotary Golf Classic wasstarted in 1989 as part ofRotary’s response to a needfor the community tomatch a $3 million provin-cial investment in the localhospital. The club pledgedto raise $50,000 to help
upgrade the facility.Rotarian Leo Finnegan
said he and Harrisonworked together as co-chairs on that first tourna-ment and many in the yearsto come.Finnegan explained
Harrison was a stock bro-ker who settled on Sheba’sIsland and brought withhim a tremendous dedica-tion to serve throughfundraising activities. “He passed away in
1993 and we named it afterhim in recognition,”Finnegan added.For many years, a high-
light of the tournament wasthe attendance of brothersBobby and Dennis Hull.The ex-NHLers were aninstant draw with theirwitty humour and talesfrom the big leagues.Everything runs its
course, however, and theHulls are no longer fea-tured guests — Jim Johnsonwill serve as the dinnerspeaker again this year —
yet the money continues toroll in. The tournament hasmade more than $250,000over the years with $80,000of that going directly to thehospital. Last year, thetournament brought in atotal of $18,500.A change this year will
be in the prizes handed outby Rotary to the golfers —in fact, there will be noprize table, but Finnegansays that is a good thing.“All the golfers will
receive a $50 gift card theycan spend at Canadian Tire,Home Hardware, andSobeys,” he said.Finnegan said though it
took a bit of an effort toarrange the program, it willproduce a better outcomethan the previous systemwhich saw inequalities inthe prizes offered and a lotof time taken out of theevening’s program whilethe prizes are selected.Also included in the
package for $185 per playeris 18 holes of golf in a 1 p.m.shotgun at the Picton Golfand Country Club withcart, lunch, a AAA primerib dinner, and a grab bag.In the past, organiza-
tions like the Air Cadets,Quinte Conservation’s daycamp program, local foodbanks, Glenwood Ceme-tery and student bursaryprograms have also benefit-ted from the tournament.“The hospital will still
be a primary focus, but theother funds raised will goback into the community aswell,” said Musgrove.Essroc returns once
again as the event sponsor,while O’Flynn Weese LLPis a lunch sponsor. Manylocal organizations have
also offered hole sponsor-ships for the day.A limited number of
tickets are still available
through event chairpersonChris Skinner, who can bereached at 613-476-7923, orthrough any Rotarian.

Members of the ConseconUnited Church are looking tothe public for help and ideasto save a ministry that ap-pears to be facing seriouschallenges.
Sue Holmes and her fam-ily have been members of thechurch for five years, but shesaid its decline has been no-ticeable in even that relativelyshort length of time.
Holmes said the waningenergy of aging members, at-tendance and finances havemade things very difficultand said it seems only fair toinform the public of the situ-ation.
“We have declining enroll-ment and attendance. We're atwo-point charge (with Car-rying Place United Church)
for one thing and we're look-ing at whether to amalgamateor whether to stay separate,”she said.
She said although Con-secon United and CarryingPlace United share a minister,it's difficult to imagine howone church could survivewithout the other. Amalga-mation would be a last resort.
Holmes said at present itdoesn't seem viable to amal-gamate since that could re-duce attendance andultimately that would puteven more strain on thechurch's finances.
“We're going to the com-munity and letting themknow there's a problem.There's a lot of people sittingout there saying '’That is mychurch' but they don't realizewhat state the church is in,”
she said. “Financial is the big(challenge). I don't think wecould support a ministerthere (if the churches amalga-mated).” She said the build-ings also need regularmaintenance and the agingcongregation means thatwork is falling behind.
The church currently has acontract with an interim min-ister to provide coverage forabout 60 per cent of the weekand to help find alternativesin preparation for calling anew minister to begin nextJune. Holmes said a full-timeminister would be ideal, butisn't financially viable at thispoint.
“We're facing whether togo to a part-time ministry,we're just looking at all ouroptions,” said Holmes.
She said it's important for
her personally to make sureboth churches remain open.
“There's really no publicChristian presence fromWellington right through toTrenton now if we disband, ifwe fall down,” she said.
In the meantime she saidthe church is trying to getcommunity input and ideasfor using the building andother ways to remain viablein the community such aschanging how or when serv-ices are delivered.
“The church isn't a closedclub. It's supposed to be com-munity oriented,” she said.
She said the congregationis open to offering a differentmode of worshipping.
“Maybe Sunday morningisn't the best time. Maybemidweek. We're looking at anumber of options,” she said.
Although the ConseconUnited Church is declining,Holmes said it's not alone.
“All the churches are de-clining and the UnitedChurch has to look at how tobe viable in our society.Maybe Sunday morning wor-ship is just becoming a thingof the past,” she said.
Currently the church of-fers a women's group withthe United Church Women, amen's group with AOTS,mid-week youth group forchildren ages 11-14 and offersSunday youth programs andBible study as needed. Thechurch hall is also availablefor rentals.
Holmes said the church isalways looking for new mem-bers and anyone is welcome.She said residents can feel freeto drop in, visit and shareideas or call the church officeat 613-392-2146.

In detailing the program forthe over one hundred atten-dees Saturday evening,Sprague said that accordingto numbers crunched by thePEFHT as many as 72 PrinceEdward County residentscould be eligible for the pro-gram at any given time.
In fact, statistics offered atthe event show Prince Ed-ward County is one of theper capita leaders in theprovince when it comes toheart issues.
Until April, those partak-ing in such a program weretasked with driving toKingston three times a week.
As such, many that could
utilize the program didn't en-roll and only a portion werecompleting their prescribedtreatment..
“Many people in thiscommunity didn't go for car-diac rehab after their coro-nary episode due to financialreasons, due to work relatedreasons, and what happenswhen you don't get into aprogram like this? You endup right back in the hospitalbed,” Sprague said.
And Sprague wouldknow first hand.
When local physiciansfour years ago identified thisprogram as a top priorityand Sprague started lookingfor approvals and revenuestreams, he had no idea his
heart surgery would havehim in the first wave of pa-tients using the program.
“I am a firm believer inthe cardiac rehab programand if you don't believe itworks, I'll meet you in theparking lot and we will raceand I'll show you it works,”Sprague said to laughs.
After the dinner and auc-tion, Sprague said the gen-erosity of PECA and theirsupporters was key in ramp-ing up the program to allowmore county residents to en-roll in a vital portion of theirrecovery.
“We would not be gettingready in the fall to deliverthat service anywhere closeto the level of need we havein the county without thissupport,” Sprague said.“Everybody involved withthe FHT have been blownaway by the enthusiasm andgenerosity of the PECA. Ithas exceeded expectations.”
When the program is upand running at full capacity,due to size and scope, it willnot quite meet the full needsof the Prince Edward Countycommunity.
When asked it could beexpanded, Sprague said thePEFHT would look at op-tions where other communi-ties might support the serviceand it could be offered to awider range of patients fromareas outside the County.
Craig Carson, a PECAmember and the man incharge in auctioning off the
almost 50 items up for grabson Saturday night, said itseems that young or old,man or woman, more andmore people seem to be hav-
ing heart related issues.“Wether its diet or some-
thing else, it just seems to bethat way,” Carson said. “Andwe as an association decided
it was time to give back. Thiscommunity has always sup-ported us over the past nineyears and it was a great timeto give back in this way.”

A service that began in ho-nour of the county's her-itage has itself become atradition and part of thatheritage.The theme of this year's
Mariners' Park Museumchurch service was the tra-dition of area fishermenand women and a legacy ofservice on the water, butjust as important as hon-ouring that legacy is con-tinuing the practice ofhonouring that legacy saidFriends of Mariners' ParkMuseum chair DerekWolfe.The 88th annual service
took place on Aug. 12 atSouth Bay United Churchwhere it has been held since1970.Wolfe, who helped or-
ganize the event, said theservice was about traditionsand keeping those tradi-tions alive.With the county being
surrounded by water manyof its traditions come fromthose who served on thewater both for their countryand for their families asfishermen. Wolfe said thathistory is ingrained in arearesidents and makes up thefabric of the community.He said close to 100 peoplecame out on Sunday to paytheir respects to that his-tory.“It is a chance, one, to
keep some traditions alive,two, to highlight the signif-icant marine history ofPrince Edward Countyand, three, to honour thosepeople who have servedand who continue to serveon the water,” Wolfe said.The practice started in
1924 at Cherry Valley at thesuggestion of Capt. NelsonPalmatier, a sailor for more
than 50 years. Palmatier re-tired that year and sug-gested the service be held asan annual event. Through-out the years the traditiongrew from first honouringcounty sailors and fisher-men to honouring those lostat sea during the SecondWorld War.Sunday's service fol-
lowed suit, welcoming rep-resentatives from HMCSCataraqui, the OPP, CFBTrenton, the CanadianCoast Guard Reserve andWellington and Picton Le-gions.Though the service has
faced challenges in the past— interest in the serviceseemed to be lost after 1948before being revived in 1970— Wolfe said the museumand its heritage are still injeopardy due to financialcutbacks within the munic-ipality.Wolfe said it's frustrating
to see that history get lost.“We're just going to try
to keep it alive as long aswe can. As corny as itsounds, if you don't knowyour history you'redoomed to repeat it,” hesaid.He said when coming
from a big city there isn'tthe same sense of commu-nity and history as there isin a small rural community.He said losing things likemuseums and traditionscan drastically change theidentity of an area.“When you move to a
rural community you reallybegin to realize that thethreads that make up thefabric of the community arereally, really important,”said Wolfe. “Things like theWomen's Institute or theUnited Church Women, lit-tle friends groups at each ofthe museums and tryingtheir very best to fight thatfinancial battle with thecounty. If you lose this stuff,it seems the flavour of whowe are and what we do andwhat we have done isgone.”

At the first Opimian dinnerwe hosted in Kingston I no-ticed this distinguished, welldressed gentleman sitting offto one side and I went up tointroduce myself. I told him that Delores
and I had moved to thecounty just for the wine andasked him if he enjoyedcounty wine as well asOpimian- sourced wine. Wellimagine my surprise whenthis Opimian member toldme he actually owned a win-
ery in the county.That was the first of many
discussions with CharlesLacey! Lacey Estates Vine-yard & Winery began itsjourney in the 1980s, whenCharles and Mollie Laceybought a select patch ofproperty in what was des-tined to become an excitingnew wine region of Ontario.Located in Hillier, which isnorth of Lake Ontario on thePrince Edward County Ap-pellation, Lacey Estates’
tenacious owners waited ontheir dream for over 20 yearsbefore planting the winery’sfirst vines in 2003.It all started when Charles
and his son Kimball went toa grape seminar in 2002 atone of the local wineries. Fol-lowing the seminar theycame home and discussedthis new venture with thefamily and it was full steamahead from then on. Familymembers LizLacey, Andrew and Cyn-
thia Gray and Lisa Lacey Lis-coumb all joined in to makethis a true family affair.Today, about 9,000 vinesgrow over nine acres atLacey Estates, which offi-cially opened its doors to thepublic in 2009. They are cur-rently making their mark asan enthusiastic and innova-tive winemaker in the PrinceEdward region using only100-per-cent estate growngrapes.Kimball, among other
things, is the estate’s chiefwinemaker, and his infiniteknowledge surrounding thewinery inspires confidencewhen he says Lacey Estates’“…handcrafted wines startin the vineyard with a com-mitment to offering highquality and small batches ofterroir-inspired wines." Thisembodies the essence ofKimball's winemaking phi-losophy, which is passion-ately rooted in the heart andsoul. He also believes that theHillier clay loam soil fromwhich the vines grow is yetanother reason for Lacey Es-tates success, as the soil isone of the best types for winegrape growing.Kimball started in the
vineyard and was then intro-duced to the winemaking as-pect of the business whenNorm Hardie made him hisassistant winemaker. Heworked alongside Hardie forfour years learning the newand old world styles of PinotNoir. While working atNorms, Kimball studiedthrough the University ofGuelph where he obtainedhis grape and wine certifi-cate. Kimball then moved toClosson Chase in 2007 wherehe worked with DebraPaskus as the associate wine-maker learning from one ofthe best chardonnay produc-ers. Currently Kimball is theassociate winemaker at Clos-son Chase and head wine-maker at Lacey Estates.Kimball uses French and
Hungarian oak barrels for hiswines. He notes that he likesthe flavours from the Hun-garian oak and ages his PinotNoir in oak for 18 months. Inorder to be environmentallyfriendly (green) and in an ef-fort to cut costs, Kimball
stores his wines in Cham-pagne cages. Currently thewinery produces 1,000 casesof wine and Kimball wouldlike that number to increaseto 3,000 cases over the nextfew years.Produced at Lacey Estates
is Chardonnay, Pinot gris,Gewurtztraminer, Riesling,Baco noir, and Pinot noir. Themajority of wine is sold fromtheir tasting room and is alsoavailable by phone or e-mail.Their wines can also befound throughout the countyin selected restaurants inBloomfield, Picton, and
Wellington.When you find yourself
out around the county makesure you stop by Lacey Es-tates Vineyard and Winery.There you will enjoy a de-lightful visit in a tastingroom where you will be ableto taste some great wines at atasting counter from a 120-year-old farmhouse.

How to improve your home's curb appealMen and women who have
tried to sell a home are likely fa-miliar with the phrase "curb ap-peal." Curb appeal is similar togetting ready for a big date, onlyyou're not dressing yourself up tomake a strong first impression. In-stead, improving curb appeal in-volves dressing your home up inthe hopes it makes a strong firstimpression on prospective buyers,many of whom will have a strongopinion about the property beforethey even get out of their cars tohave a look around.
A home with strong curb appealcan entice buyers who are likely tobelieve that a home with a well-maintained exterior is likely tohave an equally impressive inte-rior. Homeowners who want theprocess of selling their home to gosmoothly can improve the prop-erty's curb appeal in a number ofways, many of which don't neces-sitate a substantial home improve-ment budget.• Clean up. The most effectiveway to improve curb appeal is toclean up the property. Manyhomeowners are savvy enough toremove toys and other items
from the yard before showing ahome, but cleaning up goes be-yond removing clutter from theproperty. Make sure all hedgesare trimmed and remove weeds,sticks and other debris from anyflower beds. Lay mulch in theflower beds and garden, as mulchprevents weed growth whilehelping the soil retain moisture,resulting in more attractive gar-dens to catch a buyer's eye.• Get an "edge" on other sellers.Edging is another easy and effec-tive way to improve curb appeal.Edge driveways, sidewalks andother walkways around the prop-erty, removing or trimming any-thing that is hanging over thedriveway or walkways. If theboundary between your drive-way and lawn is not distinct, con-sider installing edging materialssuch as stone or bricks. The edg-ing can be level with the drive-way or elevated, but keep inmind that elevated driveway edg-ing can protect the lawn, prevent-ing kids from riding theirbicycles onto the lawn or carsfrom driving onto it. Adding edg-ing is not a very difficult do-it-
yourself project.• Take to the trees. Many home-owners grow accustomed toovergrown trees around theirproperty and may not notice thatlow-hanging, unsightly branchesare hiding the home from view.Buyers want to see the house, sotake to the trees and trim anybranches that hang too low or ob-scure your home. • Clean the gutters. Leaves andsticks hanging from the guttersare a red flag to buyers, who tendto associate clogged gutters withroof damage. Clean the guttersthoroughly before putting yourhome up for sale and keep themclean throughout the sellingprocess. If your property in-cludes lots of trees, install guardsto keep twigs and leaves out ofthe gutters.• Make the home accessiblethrough the front door. Manyhomeowners enter their homethrough a side door or throughtheir garage. If you fall into thiscategory, keep in mind thatprospective buyers will be enter-ing through the front door, somake this area accessible. Clear
any clutter, such as over-grown hedges, away fromthe front door, and con-sider upgrading the doorhandle to a more modernfeature. In addition, makesure the lock on the frontdoor doesn't stick, forcingthe realtor and buyers toimmediately struggle be-fore entering the home.You want buyers and theirreal estate agents to get inand out of the home assmoothly as possible.• Make sure all plants, in-cluding flowers, are living.Dehydrated or dead plantsand flowers are eyesores,and they will give buyersthe impression that youdidn't pay much attentionto your property. Makesure all plants are alive andthriving and replace thosethat aren't. You can replantnew flowers or plants or just usepotted plants instead. When pur-chasing new plants, choose low-maintenance varieties that appealto buyers who want good vibrantplants but might not want to put
in much work into the garden.When selling a home, home-
owners can employ a number oftactics to improve their home'scurb appeal.
Ensuring a home's primary entryway iswelcoming and well-groomed is one wayhomeowners can improve curb appeal.

The culmination of threemonths of soccer came andwent this weekend as thePrince Edward CountySoccer Association(PECSA) closed the bookon another successful sea-son with its annual tourna-ment weekend.And while the focus
was on the over 800 chil-dren that laced up theircleats and tightened theirshin pads, PECSA tooktime out saturday morningto honour a pair of 'soccergrandads.'Scott Wentworth and
Gary Parks were in on theground floor of the build-ing of PECSA and for theiryears of service, the pairwere formally recognizedin a ceremony.Parks saw his efforts
honoured through the re-naming of the tournament.From here on out,
PECSA's final weekendevent of the season shall becalled the PECSA GaryParks Annual Soccer Tour-nament.Wentworth's time with
PECSA was lauded withthe creation of the ScottWentworth Excellence inCoaching award.The inaugural edition of
the award went to Under -19 coach Mark Bass.With seven divisions
and scores of teams repre-senting local businessesand organizations, theseare indeed heady days
from when PECSA was inits infancy.Parks can recall those
days when PECSA startedout and it was hoped be-tween 125 and 250 childrenwould give soccer a try.“We wound up over 450
that year and we grew toover 1,000,” Parks said
with pride. “Even with de-clining enrollment in theschools and smaller popu-lations of kids, we are stillat between 8-900 and it's agreat feeling,” he said.As for the honour, He
added it was great and notsomething he expected.“I didn't do it for the ac-
colades, I did it because itwas something thatneeded to get done andthat's the attitude the exec-utive had in the early yearsand has had all the waythrough,” he said.Wentworth, in both a
professional and volunteerrole helped foster PECSA
along.When the Johnson
Street Fields were beingbuilt, Wentworth was frontand centre overseeing theproject.When asked what he
feels when watching chil-dren run and kick the soc-cer ball around on a sun
splashed Saturday morn-ing over a decade after thecreation of PECSA, Went-worth beamed.“I feel pride, but I see a
thriving aspect of our com-munity. Getting kids out-side and active andinvolved is a great for ahealthier lifestyle,” Went-worth said. “The buildingof self esteem that comesfrom being involved inteam sport. It's alwaysbeen the focus,”He added those young
players a decade or so agothat took up the beautifulgame are just now startingto get involved in a coach-ing or volunteer capacity.“That's going to when
PECSA really hits itsstride, when the kids havegrown up learning thegame come back and be-come the coaches and vol-unteers and parents andwe are just on the leadingedge of that happening,”he said.In terms of results, the
Timbit division crown wassplit between Team A (Je-remy King) and Team G(Caitlin Turney).Other tournament
champions included:■ Under 7-Quinte RealtorsAssociation.■ Under 9-Brian JewellRoofing■ Under 11-Castle Build-ing Centre■ Under 13- DMD Truck &Equipment Services■ Under 16- Essroc■ Under 19- Tri-CountyLift Truck

As the Picton Piratesprospects laced up theirskates for the start of theclub's annual training campover the weekend, they un-doubtedly did so with theknowledge that there arespots available at every po-sition for this coming sea-son.With several players, in-
cluding last year's startinggoaltender Matt Kaludis,graduating the club is look-ing to fill those positionswhile still building on thesuccess of the past few sea-sons.A total of 55 players took
part in sessions on Satur-day and Sunday. Eachplayer participated in twoscrimmages and had indi-vidual meetings withcoaching staff following the
final session.Pirates coach and gen-
eral manager Ryan Wood-ward said he liked the levelof talent displayed over theweekend.“I was really pleased
with the talent and workethic overall, both from theveterans and the new hope-fuls trying to make thehockey club,” he said.He said their was an up-
tempo pace to the scrim-mages and it was evidentthere would be some prettyintense internal competi-tion for spots on the open-ing night roster. Even so, hesaid camp is just beginningand players will come andgo while being evaluatedthroughout the next two tothree weeks.He said the club is put-
ting a focus on hard workand other intangible assetsand, obviously, players
with high-end skill.“We're looking for spe-
cific intangibles. Hardwork is obviously one ofthem, but a high skill level,work ethic and hard to playagainst. We want playersthat really compete,” hesaid. “That's what we'vetold the guys we're lookingfor and I was impressedwith the way they playedon Saturday and Sundayand I hope it continuesthroughout camp.”What isn't clear at the
moment is exactly howmany spots will need to befilled. Although multiplespots are open at every po-sition, it's still not knownhow many players will ei-ther make the jump to Jun-ior A, move on to postsecondary school or willnot be returning.“It's hard to say. Junior
A camps for the most part
are starting this weekend,so we have quite a fewplayers attending those,”Woodward said, addingthat how those players doat those camps will alsodictate how many sport thePirates will have to fill.“One thing is for sure: Weneed to fill multiple spotsat every position.”He said in some postsea-
sons that might be some-thing to worry about, buthe said this season there isa crop of really strong play-ers chomping at the bit tomake the jump to Juniorhockey and, ultimately, getinto the open Pirates'sweaters.“We're going to give
them every opportunity tomake our club and to im-press our staff. I think we'reoff to a good start,” he said.

If the final game of the firstround of the Prince EdwardCounty Fastball League fi-nals is any indication, localfans of the windmill versionare in for an exciting threeweeks.
Pushed to the brink by agame Beatty Seeds club, thetwo time defending cham-pion Terra Vista Rockies es-caped with a series winTuesday night in dramaticfashion, winning gamethree of their best-of-threeset 1-0 in extra innings.
With the score dead-locked at 0-0 in the bottomof the eighth inning andChris Terpstra standing onsecond base representingthe series winning run,Rockies team captain Dar-ren Marshall ripped a DanWallwork one out offeringthrough the drawn-in in-field.
Terpstra scampered
around third and plated be-fore he could be tagged,punching the the Rockiesticket to the second round.
Beatty Seeds had the go-ahead run at second withtwo out in the top of theseventh inning but leagueace Dale Dowdell fannedHusker batsman ChadCamp to extinguish anyupset thoughts the Huskersmight have had.
Wallwork was outstand-ing in defeat for BeattySeeds, striking out 15 bat-ters in seve- and- one-third
innings.The Huskers made a se-
ries of it by winning Game2 of the series Thursday 5-1.
Shawn Williams drovein three while Wallworkpicked up the win.
In the other series, Dan-ford Contracting got pastthe Ameliasburgh Warren'sExcavating A's in twogames to move on to the Adivision semi finals.
The best-two-out-of -three A semi finals kick offtonight when Terra Vistaand the Roblin's FamilyPlumbing Copperheadslock horns at 7:30 p.m. InPicton.
All games in this serieswill be played at the PrinceEdward Community Cen-tre.

Familiar local names such asNolan Van Vlack and CoreyPrince impressed, Wood-ward said.
“The county playersplayed really well. I thoughtNolan Van Vlack playedwith a ton of confidence. Youcould tell that last year's ex-perience has really helpedhis play. I thought CoreyPrince performed well andTyler Philip and Jacob Staleyfrom the county also im-pressed me,” he said. “We'rea tough hockey club to makethese days. I thought a lot ofAAA players played welland I thought the countykids definitely belonged andimpressed.”
He said the club wouldtake its time before makingany decisions on players,saying the hopefuls will lacethem up in a couple of up-coming exhibition games thiscoming weekend.
When it comes to goal-tending the hole may be a bitharder to fill. Kaludis pickedup awards for best goal-tender leading the league inall statistical categories lastseason and was named play-off MVP the previous yearwhen the pirates won theleague championship.
“You don't just replace agoaltender like Mattovernight. He was our back-bone in net for a number ofyears here and he won a lotof important hockey gamesand was a big part of ourchampionship team of twoseasons ago,” Woodwardsaid. “Right now we're get-ting a lot of goalies out intoour practices and into our
scrimmages and goalies aregoing to come and go. Weneed one that really steps upand shows us that he canmake our hockey club, be adifference maker and that hecan get the job done. Wewon't stop the search untilwe find that guy.”
Woodward said the clubwould be willing to use animport card to sign a goal-tender. He said phone callshave been coming in fromgoaltenders across theprovince looking for an op-portunity.
“There are some good,strong '96s from Quinte. BothMatt Loveys and Josh Lasherare both competing in JuniorA camps as well. They'reboth planning to come outwith us at some point andthere are veteran goalies,” hesaid. “We have to see howthings work out at the JuniorA level first and then by thetime we start the season we'llhave a legitimate numberone goalie in our net.”
The Pirates will be play-ing two rookie games thisweekend. The first will takeplace Friday at 7:30 p.m.against Napanee and will befollowed up on Saturdaywith a contest against Camp-bellford also at 7:30. Bothgames will take place atRCAF Arena in Trenton.
The Pirates will have theirfirst home exhibition conteston Aug. 25 when they facethe Clarington Eagles.
“We're planning to get alot of players into thosegames and give them an op-portunity to continuethroughout training camp,”Woodward said.

Guide
Given the gardener’s strug-gle with drought this sum-mer, it might help to knowthat small garden miraclesdo occur. I have heard twostories about apparentlydead plants reviving thisyear. One was a butterflybush, which after starting todevelop leaf buds during thewarm spell in March gave upin April. It was not untilearly July that it put out ten-tative new stalks. It is now inbloom. The other was a
newly planted astilbe thatwithered totally during thedrought when the gardenerwas away.
She then resumed water-ing the garden withoutremoving the plant and twoweeks later new green stalksappeared. So there is hopethat some of the sad lookingor even dead looking peren-nials may revive once suffi-cient water is restoredthrough natural or artificialmeans. It would be lovely if
more garden problems wereas easily solved.
This June, a womanapproached the master gar-deners at Canadian Tire todiscuss her problem with aninvasive rose that was in hergarden when she arrived.From the discussion, thisplant was apparently arugosa rose (Rosa rugosa).This rose had been takingover her garden and resistedevery effort to either removeor at least reduce its invasive
habits. Rugosa roses were origi-
nally found in eastern Asia,including Japan. They havebeen described as small,shrubby sprouting bushesthat can form dense thickets.Rugosa roses are one of thehundred or more speciesroses which have all startedas wild roses. A number ofrugosa rose hybrids haddeveloped over time in Asiaso that the exported plantswere and are not necessarilyidentical.
They were imported intoEurope in the early 1700s, butit took almost 120 years forthese roses to progress fromfirst becoming naturalized tolater becoming invasive. Thelag time between beingimported from Asia andbecoming invasive was dif-ferent depending on a num-ber of factors, including theclimate and terrain intowhich they were introduced.Invasiveness has never beenassociated with a specifichybrid or hybrids but ratherto this particular species roseand all of its hybrids.
Currently this rose is alsoconsidered to be weedy orinvasive in many parts of theUnited States, includingAlaska. These plants contin-ue to be imported and soldfor use in gardens as they arerated of low concern in theinvasive species lists. Theyare frequently pictured insandy areas along the coastsboth in Europe and NorthAmerica. They also grow insimilar conditions in Asia,including Siberia and areused to control sand duneerosion. Not surprisingly,they are tolerant to both saltand cold.
Rugosa roses have nownaturalized in Canada andare found along the coast innorthern B.C. as well asthroughout Ontario, Quebecand the Atlantic provinces,including Newfoundland.They are vigorous plants thatbloom in the spring and earlysummer and often if dead-headed will produce someblossoms throughout thesummer.
If dead heading isstopped mid to late summerthey will also produce largecolourful rose hips in the fall.The flowers are generally
scented and are available in awide variety of white, redand pink shades.
They are resistant to bothblack spot and rose rust, butare not impervious to thesediseases and are affected bythe general run of rose prob-lems. Nonetheless their gen-eral hardiness leads them todo well even when neglect-ed. Whilst they prefer welldrained slightly acid soil,they can tolerate poor soilsincluding clay, light shadeand drought. The lattermakes them ideal for sum-mers like these. While origi-nally described as beingsmall, some currently growup to ten feet tall.
They are often used as ahedge because of theirspreading habits but they arealso grown as single speci-men plants. They are not rec-ommended for walkwaysand entrance areas becauseof their sharp thorns.
Pruning these roses canbecome a problem, as someof these rose plants willspread out in terms of heightand width and as wellbecome quite dense. Theyshould be handled withsome caution and goodgloves because of their sharpthorns. Some gardeners pre-fer long handled pruners,called loppers, to deal withthese plants.
There are a number ofapproaches around pruningthese roses. One is to prunethem to the ground in early
spring after the last frost, andthe claim is that this pro-duces the most profuse flow-ering. A second is that only athird of the canes are takenout each year as the earliestflowering is best obtained onold wood. Clearly bothmethods could be tried todetermine which is prefer-able in your garden if youchoose to grow them. What-ever method is used it isimportant to remove deadand damaged branches andalso thin weak branches.Focus on not allowing thecentre of the plant to becomedense and impenetrable.
When and if the rugosarose becomes invasive in ahome garden, it is by sendingout suckers. These can firstbe seen when a new roseplant begins to appear. Evenif you want this new plant itis important to remove thesucker that attaches it to theparent plant and remove anyother suckers as they appear.The problem that this cancause if left unchecked wasdescribed at the beginning ofthis article. By the time thewoman concerned boughtthe property, new rose plantswould appear if even a smallportion of a root sucker wasleft in her attempt to clear thegarden of this plant.
Rugosa roses are general-ly sturdy plants which takeharsh winters in their stride.The long blooming periodsadd colour to the garden asdo the rose hips. They makean attractive hedge for thisreason. Their pruning diffi-culties and their tendency tobe unpredictably invasivecan make them too risky forsome gardeners. Theirstrength in the county is cer-tainly their tolerance todrought and poor soils,including sand and clay.

They all came to WellingtonSaturday morning wantingto be kings and queens ofthe curve.
But in the end, just twoteams reigned supreme atthe 6th annual LionsDragon Boat Festival.
The Peterborough Sur-vivors Abreast Dragon BoatClub was tops in the com-petitive division, Takinghome top prize and theClub Cup while theWellington Legion andtheir so-called ringersclaimed the LarryBrundage MemorialCounty Cup as top recre-ational team in 2012.
But by the time thewater had settled in theWellington Channel Satur-day afternoon, the Festivalwas more about having funthan winning a trophy.
Festival organizer Janet
Marissen said the eventraised close to $3,000 andwas enjoyed by all.
“It was a wonderful dayall around and it didn't rainon us, so that was nice,”Marissen said.
The total number of en-tries were down this overthe 2011 edition but a greatcrowd still showed up tosupport the event andcheer on the paddlers fromboth nearby and far away.
Marissen added theevent supports the localLions club in supportingseveral local causes.
“Most of the money
raised by the WellingtonLions Club stays right herein the County,” Marissensaid.
“We do have some na-tional and international ini-tiatives like the guide dogprogram but most of themoney we raise goes tocharities or events for thebetterment of local people.”
Winners of the RobMaCallum Spirit Cup(named in honour of the co-founder of the festival)went to the Friends andFamily team representingCommunity Living PrinceEdward.

The march to the 2013 Dud-ley Hewitt Cup in North Baygets underway this weekendfor the Wellington Dukes.The club will rip the lid
off its annual late summertraining camp with a seriesof scrimmages in a very ab-breviated session when com-pared to the training campsof previous years.Like any training camp,
there are plenty of questionssurrounding the hockey club.After a particularly sting-
ing defeat at the hand of theKingston Voyageurs in theopening round of last sea-son's playoffs, is this years re-
cruiting class good enough topush the Dukes back to thetop of the OJHL's Eastern Di-vision?What of the early depar-
ture of OJHL leading goalscorer Darcy Murphy? TheMarysville native is on hisway to Colgate Universitythis season to play NCAAhockey for the Raiders.Part of the answer to
those questions might comein the form of Mike Soucier.The 5'10”, 170 lbs centre-
man had 66 goals and 66 as-sists last season forMississauga Rebels MajorMidget squad and, accordingto reports, had a very strongTeam Canada East showcasecamp last weekend.The Caledon native is one
to watch this weekend.The other situation to be
abreast of what WellingtonDukes coach and general
manager Marty Abrams willdo with his third and fourth16-year-old slots.After signing netminder
Hayden Lavinge and for-ward Luc Brown earlier thismonth, Abrams still hasroom for a pair of 1996 birthyear players.The smart money says
those slots could be taken upby a pair of Belleville Bullsdraft picks.Keep close tabs on mid-
round Bulls draft picks (For-wards) Chad Heffernan,Micheal Cramorossa and(Defenceman) Brody Morrisas these three could be 16-year-old candidates.On defence, Kyle Patt,
Kevin Swales and AustinBroadhurst are the returneesand Abrams has signed afew prospects includingMichigan native ZachBishop. But could there still be
one more backliner added toshore up the defensivecorps?In net, Lavigne is locked
in and it looks like AndrewPearson might have the in-side track however, Abramscould still look for anotherolder netminder to solidifythe position and ease the 16year old into Junior A hockeysomewhat slower.So many questions.Some of them will start
getting answered Saturday.

A former Wellington Dukewill be bringing the StanleyCup to the Quinte area nextweekend.Brad Richardson, a
Belleville native whoplayed a few games withthe local Jr. A club beforegoing on to the OHL andlater NHL, is a member ofthe 2012 Stanley Cup win-ning Los Angeles Kings andwill get his turn withhockey's holy grail nextweekend.It's expected Richardson
will host a public celebra-tion with the Cup at somepoint during the 24 hoursthe forward gets withhockey's ultimate prize.I’m excited to bring the
Cup back to Belleville andhave my day here with fam-ily, friends and the city,”Richardson told local mediarecently.In addition to having a
cup of coffee with theWellington Dukes when hewas 15, Richardson is nostranger to Prince EdwardCounty.As a then-member of the
Colorado Avalanche in2006, Richardson suited upand played pick up hockeyat the Prince Edward Com-munity Centre with localplayers when the NHL wason break for the 2006 Win-ter Olympics in Turin, Italy.

From that perspective,Gaunt said it’s always funto go to shows like theStreet Meet because thereare people who can relate tothe work she has put intoher vehicles.
On the flip side, it can bea very nerve-wracking timeshowing the vehicles off forthe public, though for themost part, Gaunt said it hasbeen a pleasure to receiveaudiences at the shows.
“It's always a sense ofpride, you always have asense of nervousness thatsomeone's going to teachchildren to look, not touch,”she said. “Most people arereally good and they’re al-ways willing to ask ques-tions if they don’t knowabout something.”
Picton’s Troy Irvineagrees. He’s been showingoff his classic Chevrolet BelAir in Ameliasburgh forseven years as well as at-tending cruise nights acrossthe region.
“I love hearing all thedifferent stories,” he said.“You’ll hear from the oldguys who had these carswhen they were new andthe ladies who rememberbeing picked up for dates inthem. It’s always fun tohear the stories.”
Irvine, too, said hecaught the classic car bugwhen he was young andsince, he always wanted to
fix up his own car. Sevenyears ago that happenedand it took major work toget to the point he’s at now.
“It wasn't in good shapeat all. You could almostwalk through the wholecar,” he said, adding he re-built it right from the frameup. “It took a lot of time.”
Irvine painted the car abright green on the adviceof his wife, whom he saidtold him he got to make allthe other decisions, so shewas picking the colour.
Turns out it wasn’t a baddecision as the colourmakes the car highly visibleand helped Irvine win somehardware over the yearshe’s shown it.
“It’s paid off, it’s done re-ally well, ‘he said.
Irvine has also sharedhis hobby with his family ashis son, brother, andnephew also come for theweekend to share in the ex-citement.
While Irvine’s car drawsmuch attention — particu-larly while parked in thesame row as her own —Gaunt said she can findsomething exciting in al-most every show entry.
“I must tell you there issomething.We love all ofthem, they all have some-thing to draw your eyes,some appeal,” she said.Everyone loves their owncars, but I think most peopleloves everybody else's carstoo.”
Gaunt said as an enthu-siast, it is a good feeling tosee that the history of theautomobile is being passedon to new generations andthe personality of some ofthe earlier models isn’tbeing lost either.
“As they've changed carsover the years, I sort ofthink they've taken the per-sonality away,” she said.“Although I have nothingagainst the people who liketo do up their new Hondasand little imports and makethem beautiful and cus-tomize them, I tend to likethe older things that havepersonality.”
As an added bonus, thenot-for-profit auto club rou-
tinely donates money raisedfrom the show to charitablecauses.
With the big 40th an-niversary in the works for2014, Grimmon said theclub is planning some spe-cial events, like a perform-ance by the Reasons.
He indicated he doesn’tsee the annual show chang-ing or growing much more,however, given the con-straints of the location atRoblin Lake and the level ofinteraction between the par-ticipants at this point.
“We’re trying to keep itfamily oriented and if wecould stay right wherewe’re at, we’d be happy,” hesaid.
