As we grow, a new Advertising Sales Manager has been added to the team. Mandy Bradford,
a former resident of Colborne now living in Picton has an excellent sales and marketing
background and such a cheerful smile that I knew on our first meeting she would be a perfect fit
for the magazine. I’m sure those that have met her will agree.
Years ago as a cottager on Lake Consecon, I passed by the church located at the crossroads of
County Roads 1 and 2 many times. It’s a beautiful solid structure I have always admired and I
am delighted to feature this amazing home in this issue.
For those cleaning their golf clubs and dreaming about their first tee off, Jodie Jenkins, J.J. The Golf Guy, has written a great review of the local
courses and lets you know which club opens first. Live theatre is alive and well in this area. Debra Tosh writes on the newest theatre groups and
on one of the oldest, The Belleville Theatre Guild.
This year we will feature two series: one on sustainable living and the other on eating clean. Sustainable living is the new “buzz”, but what is it
really? Garnet McPherson answers that question and makes us think about our environment and our future on this earth in a way we may not
have before. In the eating clean series, Kathy Terpstra will have you considering what you put into your body every day.
The Bay of Quinte is not only one of the best places in the province for fishing and boating, it is also home to many plant and wildlife species.
We are pleased to feature the positive efforts being made by many organizations to revitalize the Bay.
Spring means buds, flowers, and birds, so who better to describe this special time of year than Carolyn Lecker of Black Walnut Gardens. You
will be inspired. Have a wonderful spring.

Bowerman Church
On the diagonal corner sits the original Bowerman home.
The Bowerman home, formerly a tavern, welcomed the weary
traveller as it is situated ideally, halfway between Consecon and
Picton. The connection between the two is both humorous and
profound. To more fully appreciate the relationship between
these two buildings and, specifically, how and why the Bowerman
Church was built, a few details of history may be helpful.

Three and a half years later, we can say unequivocally our decision
to relocate was more than we could have ever planned. The County

Whether we sit by the fire that eternally attempts to heat this
grand old building during the long cold winter months, or bask
in the summer sunlight on the front porch, we know that we have
arrived where we were destined to be.

Prince Edward Community Theatre
between other towns? Cherry Valley boy Lynn Fennell started up his own theatre company last
year called Prince Edward Community Theatre. After gassing up his vehicle
and spending countless hours on the road, he decided to fill the theatre gap
Here are the stories of the birth in Picton. Now he directs and produces his own shows. Their first season
of four local theatres. features three productions, with four performances each, at the Picton
Town Hall.
Their inaugural show was The Murder Room, a comedy thriller by Jack Sharkey
last November. It starred Lewis Frape, Helen Wells (a.k.a Lenni Stewart), Susan
Matthews, Sid Wells, Hilary Hunter, and Mike Zaffino. Their second show
was Special Occasions, a romantic comedy by Bernard Slade. The two-hander
starred Wendy Hay of Bloomfield and Fennell himself, with a dinner theatre
package available for Valentine’s Day. How the Other Half Loves, a comedy
about three couples by Alan Ayckbourn will be held in May.
Fennell first got involved in musical theatre in 1988, when his children were
taking classes at the Dance Den in Belleville. He discovered that he liked it
and performed in a few shows for them. In 1995, he joined Domino Theatre
in Kingston, where he performed and directed through 2006. His first show
with The Belleville Theatre Guild was in 1999. Fennell said he has lots of
good memories and appreciates all the opportunities he has been offered. He
is incorporating everything that he has learned into his recent productions.
Retired from teaching since June 2007, he plans to build on the company’s
initial success with a second season.

In 2002, Mark Rashotte, also a professional musician and recording artist with
Capitol Records in the 1980s, and his wife Rose Mary Rashotte, purchased
the McCarthy building. Mark’s years of touring and performing provided him
with a unique insight as to what a performing arts centre should provide both
the audience and entertainer. The result is the current state-of-the-art 700-seat
gem, which includes two licensed lounges. The theatre is described by many
performers and patrons as one of the finest in Ontario.
Since The Empire’s grand opening in September of 2003, there has been no
looking back as it continues to host top national and international performers.
From pop, rock, blues, jazz, country, and classical, it all happens at The Empire
Theatre.
Those who have graced the stage range from comedic giants Bob Newhart
and The Smothers Brothers; Canada’s top bands, Great Big Sea, Blue Rodeo,
and The Tragically Hip; folk and blues legends, Judy Collins and Buddy Guy;
contemporary and traditional country favourites from Johnny Reid and Tommy
Hunter, to international stage shows Bowfire and Barrage.
The spin-off effect on Belleville’s once struggling downtown is there for all to
see. Restaurants are buzzing with pre-show concert goers and hotels are booking
to capacity with out of town guests coming to see their favourite performer.
Those who have lived in Belleville for generations are pinching themselves and
those who are new to our community are simply amazed.

Thanks to the combined efforts of the Bay of Quinte Remedial Action Plan
team, Quinte Conservation, Lower Trent Conservation, Cataraqui Region
Conservation Authority, enthusiastic volunteers, landowners and the general
public, the ecosystem and water quality in the Bay has improved significantly.
The Remedial Action Plan, commonly known as the ‘Big Cleanup’, as noted
by Jeff Borisko, Implementation Manager for the Bay of Quinte Remedial
Action Plan, “is an ecosystem approach in restoring and protecting the Bay
by recognizing the complex interrelationships between water, land, air, and all
living things – including people”.
The Plan is implemented in three stages: the first stage defines the problem,
the second stage recommends and implements actions to restore the ecosystem,
and the third stage monitors its success. Currently, the Bay of Quinte has
completed stage two and is projected to complete stage three within the next
couple of years, thus changing the status farming practices. Greener industrial
of the Bay as an “Area of Concern” to an practices have also resulted in less toxic
“Area in Recovery”. The restoration of discharges and, with much thanks to the

Let Us Help
With All Your
Entertaining Needs
With a background in international development through sport, I was asked to modify materials
prepared by the Coaching Association of Canada and research on conflict, program management,
advocacy, and leadership, into educational modules for the Peace Pioneer Certification Program
(PPCP). The PPCP is offered through Peace Camps which include workshops, interactive seminars,
presentations, debates, role playing, simulations, case studies, and sport sessions.
I was Lead Facilitator for the 08 Generations For Peace Camp held in Amman, Jordan from
November 26 to December 6, 2008. Seventy-one delegates from 16 war-torn countries (Afghanistan,
Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Lesotho, Liberia, Nigeria, Palestine, Sierra Leone, Sri
Lanka, Sudan, Togo, Uganda, and Zimbabwe) attended the 10-day camp supported by 25 staff from
Canada, Dubai, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Nigeria, USA, and the UK.
The United Nations, UNICEF, the United Nations Development Program, the British Council,
and National Olympic Committees recommended delegates. Although most of the delegates come
from difficult situations, they have all made a commitment to peace building. Beyond conflict issues
such as the child soldier, tribal, religious and ethnic clashes, and refugees and displaced persons,
the 08 Camp focused on integrating those usually excluded from community life, such as girls and
women, persons with disabilities, and orphans.
