After receiving some fiery feedback from the public, council voted on Tuesday night in opposition to a zoning amendment that would have allowed a Hallowell resident to continue to use two converted farm outbuildings as affordable apartments. While a few councillors maintained the stance that affordable housing is badly needed in Prince Edward County and the zoning change should be supported, the majority of council agreed that — since the outbuildings were converted without a building permit — there was little choice but to deny it. The motion on Tuesday's agenda — which would have approved the zoning amendment subject to meeting the requirements of the building department — lost by a margin of 13–3 in a recorded vote with only councillors Keith MacDonald, Bev Campbell, and Nick Nowitski voting in favour. Councillor Heather Campbell said she supported the request in the beginning, but after thinking it over decided it was best not to approve the zoning amendment. “There's nothing in the PPS (Provincial Policy Statement) that would say this is a good thing to do,” she said. “… I don't believe we should be making this planning call in a knee-jerk reaction to someone's individual issue and problem.” Campbell said she was sympathetic toward Lambert's situation, but said that sympathy can't supersede planning policy. Councillor Dianne O'Brien also said she had a change of heart. “I have heard from members of the public and they clearly are in opposition to this,” she said. “Given the input from the public I have reconsidered my position.”

The annual meeting of the Eastern Ontario Gunners Association (EOGA) provided the audience for a pair of rededications at the Picton Legion this past weekend. A pair of early 1800 cannons and a 1960s 105 mm Howitzer pack cannon were lovingly restored and formally redesignated Saturday as the EOGA held their annual summer get together this past weekend. The EOGA is an organization that is comprised of retired servicemen who served in the Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery and persons who served the guns in a support role. The event draws members from as far away as Manitoba, New Brunswick, Quebec and all over Ontario. Branch 78 serves as the EOGA's home station mostly due to the fact a large part of the membership were stationed at Camp Picton in the 1950's See ZONING, page 27 and 1960s.

The Royal Canadian Legion branch’s vice-president Tony Ruthven said both cannons as well as a propeller from a Canadian Forces airplane and an anchor from a naval ship not only help dress up the Branch grounds but also serve an emotional purpose. “The cannons are totally harmless but they are tools of conflict and they help remind of the cost of war,” Ruthven said. “We are lucky at Branch 78. Some

Branches don't have the grounds for it but we do and it dresses up the grounds nicely.” The two cannons at the south entrance of the Branch grounds were cast at the Carron Foundry in Glasgow, Scotland in the lead up to the War of 1812 and were brought to Picton from Kingston by canning magnate Wellington Boulter near the turn of the 20th Century.

The Prince Edward Citizens’ Assembly gathered for a final session over the weekend and now the 24-member group of residents will put forward a recommendation that may help shape the future of the municipality's governance. Dr. Jonathan Rose, who was selected by council to lead the process, said in an interview the citizens' assembly agreed on 10 as the number of municipal councillors who should represent the citizens of Prince Edward County. With the mayor included, council would be trimmed to 11 members if the recommendation is approved. Rose indicated the assembly worked hard to reach a decision, but in the end there was strong consensus. “If a majority passes we say it's democratic and a super-majority is two thirds. We got higher than that,” Rose said. “Eighty-one per cent of the members supported the recommendation.” Rose said an even higher percentage — in the 90 per cent range — supported taking the recommendation to council. “Though they may not have thought they got the right number, those people who didn't agree with the number of 10 plus a mayor were satisfied with the process and it could go to council — so a very high number of consensus,” Rose said. Rose said he will bring forward the recommendation to a special committeeof-the-whole meeting on Sept. 19 at 9:30 a.m. The assembly gathered for three Saturday sessions — July 27, Aug. 10, and Aug. 24. The first session was focused on educating members on the history of the size of council issue, as well as municipal, federal, and provincial governance structures, and the demographics of Prince Edward County.

Bean Counter owner impressed with results of Main Street pilot project Tremblay would like to see patio permission granted on a permanent basis Staff writer

fresh look The Bean Counter Cafe now sports a

sidewalk patio thanks to a pilot project being undertaken by the municipality for its downtown cores. The cafeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s patio was the first opened under the new project. (Submitted photo)

With the municipality's new sidewalk patio pilot project in full flight, The Bean Counter Cafe owner Debbie Tremblay says she hopes it will continue as a regular feature of Picton Main Street next year. Tremblay's business was the first to take advantage of the new program, giving The Bean Counter an additional 12 seats and added exposure along busy Main Street. There have been a lot of positive responses so far, Tremblay says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's been a huge success for us. We're really happy with the outcome and I'm glad we took advantage of the pilot,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The feedback we've been getting from our customers has been all positive and they love the ability to sit outside and enjoy the summer weather.â&#x20AC;? She says the patio has allowed the business to extend its relaxing atmosphere to OPEN 11AM-5PM SEVEN DAYS A WEEK 613-373-1133

the sidewalk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's been a great experience, I'm glad we did it,â&#x20AC;? Tremblay says. The patio pilot project formed through a community development department initiative and its merit will be evaluated at the end of the season. Recommendations on the continuation of the program or any changes to it are expected to come to council through the community development department in the winter months. Mayor Peter Mertens said in a release from the municipality that project is meant to help stimulate local business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This pilot project demonstrates the county's commitment to supporting local businesses,â&#x20AC;? says Mertens. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In addition it provides residents and visitors with an opportunity to further enjoy the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historic streetscapes.â&#x20AC;? The release says the program is designed to encourage pedestrians to investigate local bars and 9261 LOYALIST PARKWAY, ADOLPHUSTOWN, ONTARIO

eateries in the county's downtown cores, as well as contribute to the feel of a vibrant downtown. Council approved the pilot in late June and the project is expect to run until mid October. Businesses pay a fee of $10 per day or $300 per month and an application fee of $50 to take part. There are also strict municipal guidelines covering health and safety, design, materials, appearance, and accessibility requirements for the patios. Tremblay says the patio has already had a positive impact on her business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People have commented that, because the patio is there, they see that we're open and there's a place to sit and enjoy coffee and drinks and food; that they might have otherwise just driven by,â&#x20AC;? she said. She says business has definitely remained constant where, in the past, it has slowed more drastically at the end of August. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We're still doing very well,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the long weekend coming up

we're expecting (the patio) will help us as well.â&#x20AC;? If it were up to Tremblay the project would continue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We're hoping and we're getting pretty excited about some changes that we can maybe look forward to over the winter to get ready for next year,â&#x20AC;? she says. Although businesses have to put up the cost of inspections, railings and other administrative fees, the Prince Edward/Lennox and Addington Community Futures Development Corporation (PELA CFDC) has made a grant available to cover a portion of expenses incurred by businesses participating this year. Tremblay says she believes that assistance could spur some other businesses to take advantage of the patio program. She thanked council and the Picton BIA for supporting the pilot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I'm really happy and grateful that we took advantage of it and I hope that everyone on the street takes advantage of it next year and has the success we've had.â&#x20AC;?

Beer, wine to flow at Picton Fair to benefit charitable causes in county Agricultural society reaches deal with Rotary to offer drinks in curling club AdAm BrAmBurger Staff writer

Those who think watching the live entertainment at the fair might be better with a pint of their favourite beverages will have their chance to find out this year. After experimenting with allowing the County to serve alcohol in small doses, the Prince Edward Agricultural Society has reached a deal with the Rotary Club of Picton to establish a bar at its live entertainment venue for the Sept. 6-8 exhibition. “This is the the first time we've had a solid area with alcohol,” said the society’s vice-president Larry Lounsberry. “We've been asked many times and though we’ve approached it cautiously, we find with certain types of entertainment it can go hand-in-hand.” The tipping point this year, however, came when Rotary brought a proposal to the society looking to run the bar and to use all its proceeds to benefit charitable causes within Prince Edward County. It seemed like a win-win situation. “These guys put 100 per cent back into the community, that was the big thing in allowing this to happen,” Lounsberry explained. To facilitate the change, the society decided this year it would move the live entertainment into the curling club, instead of its past locations at the community centre and under the big top.

That’s because it is the only building on the site where there isn’t a contractual obligation for the county to run the bars itself and thus, proceeds can go to charity. The facility will hosts events like a big dance with The Reasons on Friday night, the Classic Champion Wrestling Show Saturday night, and the return of the Picton Rising Star throughout the weekend. Meanwhile, a longtime mainstay at the curling club, the homecrafts exhibit will enjoy the bright light of the exhibition space within the community centre. Rotary president Matt Stiff said club members discussed the idea and there was practically no internal debate or conflict. He added part of that is because the club is planning on making it a family atmosphere with the sales of items water, pop, juice, and chips and because the bar will not be getting into the sale of hard liquor. “.We had an outpouring of support from Rotarians, pardon the pun,” he said. “It will be fully staffed by Rotary volunteers and they're all SmartServe qualified. Some already had it already and some got it just for the occasion.” Stiff indicated Rotary International’s theme this year is one driven by community engagement and though the club has been active in supporting projects like the residential hospice and new hospital equipment it would like to use the bar to help boost its profile.

“We wanted to get our names back into community and this was one way to do that,” he said. Stiff said that at this time, the Rotarians have not decided to earmark the bar proceeds for any particular project, but if the first attempt is successful that is something that may be considered for 2014. Meanwhile, Lounsberry said the two organizations are also hard at work negotiating with local producers in hopes of having some beverages produced in Prince Edward County available for sale during the fair. “The fair board always tries to support and promote our local producers as much as possible and I know that is important to Rotary as well,” he said. “We’re looking forward to having as many local

products available for purchase as possible.” As far as feedback from the society itself, Lounsberry said he has heard no complaints about the changes. He added the fair already has a full complement of security on duty for all its buildings and he doesn’t foresee the need for extra coverage as a result of the introduction of the bar. Fair exhibitors and participants can download their fair programs at www.pictonfair.org or stop by the Gazette office at 267 Main Street to pick up a fair program booklet. $20 advance passes good for one day on the Crown Amusements midway are also available at the Gazette, Scott’s Store, the Main Stop, County Treasures, and Wellington Home Hardware.

uled to discuss the matter before the master plan is presented to County council. Mayor Peter Mertens says in the release the plan will support current residents as well as future generations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The age-in-place concept embraces a quality of life that we all deserve,â&#x20AC;? says Mertens. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not only will it support the needs of residents, but it builds a foundation for future generations that we can all be proud of.â&#x20AC;? So far the feedback gathered in public sessions on June 26 and July 30 has been incorporated into several concept plans for the approximately 25-acre parcel at the rear of McFarland Home. At the first session the public was invited to contribute various ideas on the development of the property. The second session featured two draft concepts that looked to refine the planâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s direction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The age-in-place concept supports the need for a seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; community that encourages active living and community integration, while providing for increasing levels of care,â&#x20AC;? the release says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Planning is essential to ensure that the needs of current and future county residents are met, and continue to be met as the population ages.â&#x20AC;? The master plan project is being led for the municipality by planners The Planning Partnership in consultation with the County's community development department.

Garrett tours with national orchestra Picton violinist aspires to be high school music teacher adamBramBurger

Staff writer

Many young Canadian musicians would view the National Youth Orchestra of Canada (NYOC) as a great stepping stone to a career as a performing musician. Picton’s Naomi Garrett, however, sees her tour with the company this summer as an ending rather than an beginning when it comes to playing the violin. “I viewed this chance to play as a kind of a last hurrah with my violin,” said the 20 year old. Garrett explained that she is presently studying education and music concurrently at McGill University in Montreal and she will turn her attention toward teaching music and learning more about other instruments in the future. From a young age, Garrett’s parents instilled a love of music in her and, in fact, encouraged her to start learning violin at age four. Still, she learned early on there were many ways she could expand on that love of music without strictly performing violin. Garrett said she knew s he wanted to go to music school and she wanted to perform, but she saw the drive some others had to perform and it wasn’t in her. Instead, she tried to have some variety in her life by playing basketball, acting in musical theatre, and designing clothing to name just a few pastimes. Garrett saw her dad Greg teach music at PECI and seeing how he helped other students enjoy music and how they responded and that was enough for her. Still, the NYOC has been a

strings sensation Naomi Garrett was part of a select group of young Canadian musicians who were able to travel and perform with the National Youth Orchestra of Canada this year as a violinist. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

goal Garrett has strived to achieve for some time. She tried out when she was 15 and having not made the cut, she got some varied summer experiences as a counsellor at music camp and a nature guide at Sandbanks Provincial Park. This year, she felt it was time to go for it again. After a rehearsal with the McGill orchestra, Garrett received the good news. “I called my dad immediately and I was strutting around at school,” she said. “I called my grandmother and talked to my friends who I knew had also auditioned.” From there, Garrett went to Wilfred Laurier University in Waterloo start the seven week program. She started with two weeks of chamber music and playing in small

ensembles with rehearsals from 10-noon and 2-4:30 p.m. each day. Over the next three weeks, the rehearsals intensified with whole orchestra rehearsals twice a day — 96 people taking part for fiveand-a-half hours a day, plus sectional rehearsals with the 28 violin players on demand. Clearly, just rehearsing was a demanding chore. Garrett, however, said she came to love life with the orchestra because of the connections she was able to make with other performers and teaching faculty. She was able to see how the orchestra leaders worked with people and their methods for teaching the music and building an ensemble.

■ The Elsa Essberger of Hamburg sailed through Canadian waters to harbour in Toronto carrying peanut oil as its cargo. The ship was flying the Nazi emblem and it was guided to its destination by Capt. Anton Rode, one of Germany’s youngest deep sea captains. ■ Petty theft was taking place with increasing regularity in Ameliasburgh as many people facing the pinch of the depression were stealing from gardens, potato patches, barns, and poultry houses at night. It was reported boatloads of people from Trenton were crossing the Bay of Quinte to take potatoes, beets, carrots, and onions growing along the shorelines. It was noted few farmers were fortunate enough to have food to spare even before the thefts occurred. ■ Lloyd J. Hicks announced the opening of his new Supertest station and car show rooms on Picton’s Main Street, next to the Hogg and Lytle Ltd. building.

■ The American governments was putting the finishing touches on an agreement that would allow people on this side of the border to send gifts worth $10 or less to anyone in the United States without having to pay duty. The change matched a move Canada made a year previously for gifts to its residents. ■ Ontario Chief Justice J.C. McRuer told the provincial government about a system that would allow fines to be paid in installments, making justice more equitable for the rich and the poor. A similar system in England cut the prison population there by 25 per cent, he said. ■ Canning crops in the Bay of Quinte district were seriously affected by an 11-day heat wave that swept through Ontario. Loss of tomatoes due to sunscald and other defects was as high as 35 per cent in some areas.

40 years ago — 1973

■ A 35-year-old Oshawa woman died in the fifth drowning incident of a busy summer in Prince Edward County waters. She took sick in a heavy undertow off Outlet Beach. The woman’s daughter, 7, and two other children were rescued. ■ Clearview Electronics announced it would be employing up to 12 people in Picton to rebuild television picture tubes, saving people one-third the cost of buying a new picture tube or more. Their factory was to be open by September. ■ The Royal Brothers Circus was the first one to visit Prince Edward County in several years as the Wellington Legion sponsored the show for substantial crowds.

20 years ago — 1993

■ The Ministry of Transportation reported it would be charging for passage on all provincially owned ferry boats as of Jan. 1, 1994. The talk was that the Glenora ferry would cost $1.50 per a one-way trip for vehicles or 50 cents to walk on. The County and Town of Picton both resolved to fight the imposition of the fees. ■ Jeff Richards claimed the Gold Cup at Hayward Long Reach and in doing so, he put his team over the top to claim the team hydroplane championship for his Export ‘A’ associates. ■ Ontario’s acting minister of health Dave Cooke announced the province would be issuing photographic health cards to help reduce fraud impacting on the system.

Beaver Meadow has seen changes over the years

Visitors to Beaver Meadow Wildlife Area at East Lake this week will see an improvement in one of the trails. Volunteers and I have been working for a number of years maintaining the trails in some of our conservation areas in the Prince Edward County and Belleville areas with light pruning, and mowing the trails with a walk behind rotary brush mower. Last week, we decided the public had had enough of wading through one perpetually muddy area along a trail leading to the west lookout. So, we moved it! Hikers now can walk on higher and drier ground beside the original trail. Both ends of the original trail have been blocked and the new detour prominently marked with blue flagging tape. And we mowed the parking lot. I have witnessed many changes at Beaver Meadow since the day the 220-acre property was purchased by the then Prince Edward Region Conservation Authority (now Quinte Conservation) in the early 1970s. I had the pleasure of being involved with PERCA when the property was purchased, and one of the first projects I remember being a part of was the erection of over 30 nesting boxes for wood ducks. A variety of fruit and seed bearing trees was also planted to improve cover and food for small birds and mammals. Some of these trees and shrubs were black walnut, silver maple, white cedar, caragana, highbush cranberry,

oUtdooR RaMbLEs TERRY SPRAGUE

multiflora rose and pin cherry. The results of these efforts can be seen as one drives into the parking lot. In earlier days as the newly planted shrubs were maturing and spreading, there was a network of trails that meandered through the area just off the parking lot. As one takes to the trails to explore its offerings, history enthusiasts may wonder about the presence of foundation ruins, causeway remains and other subtle hints about a past life at Beaver Meadow. What took place here before the beaver, the herons and the meandering walking trails? Beaver Meadow was a hive of activity in the first decade or so of the 20th Century and was similar to a self-sufficient plantation system. Steam energy was generated on the premises and the cement blocks used in the construction of many of the buildings, were made there.

When George McMullen purchased the Beaver Meadow in 1910, it was rumoured that he had anywhere from a quarter to a half million dollars at his disposal, supposedly obtained from successful sugar investments. Whether this was true or not, there was certainly substantial backing to witness the creation of an “experimental” station at the Beaver Meadow. Today, this popular conservation area is still very much the focus of activity as it was in the early 1900s. The diverse habitat comprising the wetland which takes up more than 75 per cent of the total area, and the woodland, has made the area popular with nature enthusiasts and hikers. During a flora and fauna survey conducted there in 1992, more than 330 species of plants were tallied, among them, eight species of ferns and horsetails, 22 grasses and sedges, 60 trees and shrubs, 16 aquatic plants, and 33 species of fungi. The crew also found 10 species of fish, 14 species of herptiles, 40 species of insects and spiders, 12 mammals, and 64 species of summer resident birds. Unfortunately, due to financial constraints over the years, many of the original trails that meandered and looped their way through the area have surrendered to the whims of nature. However, from the parking lot a walking trail of approximately .5 km crosses allows hikers to cross the creek and see the remains of the original

McMullen dam. From there, the trail goes through a dense forest of conifers and mixed hardwoods. Passing the west end of the weir, the trail follows the edge of the water, ultimately ending at a lookout tower where one can have a panoramic view of the open swamp. Be sure to keep the water in sight and not follow the snowmobile trail that veers off to the left of the main trail as it enters private property almost immediately and you may find yourself wandering around in the next Concession somewhere! This trail offers exceptional birding, often producing rose-breasted grosbeaks, wood thrushes, red-bellied woodpeckers and great crested flycatchers. Wildflowers abound along this stretch, and plants such as wild ginger, trilliums, pinesap, Indian pipe, marsh marigold and trout lily can be found. Another trail leads from the weir to the east lookout with two dead end trails leading off from it. From the traffic lights at the west end of Picton (at the L.C.B.O.), take County Rd. 10 (Lake Street), and follow for five kilometres. At County Road 11, turn right and follow for 1 km to entrance.

Council approves PECFN’s funding request for $20,000 Legal opinion suggests County would have good defence against potential lawsuit Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

Council approved a substantial grant to the Prince Edward County Field Naturalists (PECFN) on Tuesday after receiving a positive response for the municipal solicitor. PECFN will receive a $20,000 grant to help cover

the cost of a $125,000 legal bill incurred while appealing to the Environmental Review Tribunal the Ministry of Environment's (MOE) decision to give a Renewable Energy Approval to the 22.5 megawatt nine-turbine Ostrander Point wind energy project. The grant was approved in

a recorded vote of 11–5 with councillors Keith MacDonald, Nick Nowitski, Barry Turpin, Jamie Forrester, and Kevin Gale voting against. Committee of the whole had previously recommended the grant's approval subject to the legal opinion that the municipality wouldn't face a liability

issue. A letter from David Demille of law firm Templeman Menninga LLP dated Aug. 21 and submitted to council on Tuesday says “the municipality should have a good defence to any allegations that may be raised regarding maintenance.”

Council can now begin hard work on restructuring plan

IT would appear the easy part is now finished as an assembly of 24 citizens has reaffirmed what many told Prince Edward County council prior to the last municipal election — the electorate would prefer a smaller, more manageable group representing them at Shire Hall in the future. Following its studies of historical councils, trends with other single municipalities, and the perceptions of other people in the community, the assembly decided that an ideal council would consist of 10 councillors and a mayor — a number that would appear to be more in line with other municipalities in terms of councillor to constituent ratio and one that would be workable in terms of breaking ties and of bringing a range of voices and experiences to the table. That such a staggering number of the group (about 90 per cent) supported taking that idea to council shows that something should be done in the near future. For all the money spent on the consultation, however, it appears council will still be charged with arriving at the fundamentals of going forward with such a recommendation, including finding a way to revamp its structure to allow for a shrinkage of seats at the Shire Hall table. Therein lies the hard part of this discussion and the one that has tripped up many looking for revisions since the County was thrown together in its 1998 amalgamation. One could easily say the easiest way to get council down to 10 members would be to take the existing ward boundaries and just allow one person to represent each area. It would be simple, it wouldn’t cost a lot of time and money redrawing boundaries, and it would maintain our heritage. On the other hand, however, it would bring about even more inequity in the way that county residents are represented according to population. A second suggestion would be to redraw the boundaries in some configuration that would be easily divisible to gain the 10 representatives. Perhaps it would be 10 separate wards, perhaps it would be two with five representatives each, or maybe the county would do away with boundaries entirely and open up to a voting-at-large system. Each of those directions also would have its number of objectors for a number of reasons... Would the new boundaries separate long-standing communities? Would representation for some of the current smaller wards be washed away? Would the feared urban-rural or north-south splits fester even more if the boundaries were adjusted or eliminated? And how about the cost of examining each of those questions when it has taken all this time just to come to a recommendation on size alone. The sitting County councillors are in a position that few would envy as there is no way to split this pie that would make everyone happy, yet there is tremendous pressure on them to do something. One hopes they will take this challenge and see it through, rather than concluding it is too difficult.

New slate of free computer courses offered this fall

A new schedule of computer and tech related courses is now open for registration at the County of Prince Edward Public Library & Archives. As well, the library is looking for input from the community as to what new workshops might be of interest. The first workshop on the calendar is the Windows 8 Boot Camp on Saturday, Sept. 7 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Picton branch. Windows PCs now come with Microsoft's Windows 8 operating system, which is quite different from previous versions of Windows and can pose a challenge for some users. In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn the skills needed to become comfortable navigating the new operating system. Please bring your laptop. If you have Windows 8 on a desktop computer, the library can loan you a laptop for the day. The next three Saturdays: Sept. 14, 21 and 28, the basic Internet skills workshops will be held, also in Picton. This three-week series comprises four-hour sessions with a half-hour lunch break. The focus will be on basic Internet use on Windows PC (XP to 8), Mac laptops, iPads and Android tablets. Participants are encouraged to bring their own devices. If you do not own a computer, let us know when you register and a Windows PC laptop will be lent to you. Topics covered in the workshops will include turning on your device and connecting to the Internet via WiFi, downloading popular applications (apps) if using Windows 8 or a tablet, using popular social networking sites and visiting web sites, doing simple searches, basic e-mail set up and use, Internet safety and security, and an introduction to the library’s web site and online resources. Registration for all the workshops in September at the Picton branch should be made with Amanda Harrison at 613-476-5962 or by email at: aharrison@pecli-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Non-decision on size would be betrayal of trust

I took the opportunity to attend, for a couple of hours, the last meeting of the citizens assembly. I am of the opinion that the volunteers of this assembly need to be thanked by this community for their time and work. I have no doubt that their hearts are in the right place and they tried to deal with a problem that council seemed incapable of dealing with – finding a governance model to address the size of our council! In my opinion the citizens’ assembly is not reflective of our community. The assembly was advertised as having 24 members from all areas of the county. It has

only 23 members with as many as six members coming from Ameliasburgh and none from Athol. The group is made up of at least 13 retired people, with only seven indicating that they still work; it is unclear to me what the other three do. It appears that only one member is under the age of 50 and there isn’t anyone representing the farming community! There are far too many members of this assembly who have lived here for only a very short period of time and in one case there is a member who arrived in the county this past April. There are so few mem-

bers of this assembly who were born here, lived here and worked here – I find it bordering on being ridiculous..But for me it is the absence of younger voices that is its greatest weakness. However, despite the make-up of this group I still hope that our council uses their recommendations as motivation to kick-start the change that this community has been asking for and to use their recommendations as a starting point to engage the public in future discussions as a means to arrive at the best solution to downsize our council. If council decides to ignore the citizens assem-

bly’s report and decides to do nothing, then this whole exercise has been a waste of time and a waste of the $25, 000 it has cost the taxpayers. As council has stated on a number of occasions, the final decision will be theirs to make. But make no mistake about it; this community expects a decision from them, one made in time to be implemented for the 2014 election. If they decide to do nothing, then that would be the worse decision of all. It will be interpreted as a total betrayal of trust.

The citizens’ assembly will recommend to Council on September 24 that the number of councillors be reduced to 10 from the current 15. While the citizens’ assembly deserves credit for its hard work and thoughtful deliberations, this recommendation puts the future of the county’s 10 historic wards at risk. Although not required by their mandate, there was a brief discussion by the citizens’ assembly of replacing the 10 historic wards with five new wards, with boundaries drawn to ensure reasonable representation by population. Doing so will erase more than 200 years of our heritage represented by the 10 historic wards – the successors to one town, two villages and seven townships.

Historic names like Hallowell, Sophiasburgh and South Marysburgh will be relegated to the history books. I believe that many (maybe most) county residents, long-time and recent, want to see our 10 historic wards preserved. Let’s step back a minute and consider three key issues relating to councillor representation: 1. What is the appropriate number of councillors? This was the mandate given to the citizens’ assembly, and their recommendation is 10 councillors. 2. How to improve rep. by pop.? Currently the range of electors per councillor is too wide: Bloomfield = 584 and Sophiasburgh = 1,391 at the low end vs Hallowell = 2,110 and Hillier = 2,431 at

the high end. 3. How to preserve our 10 historic wards? Going to 10 councillors and five new wards fails on No.3 above. Alternatively, sticking with the status quo of 15 councillors fails on No. 1 (in essence, the citizens’ assembly’s recommendation) and No. 2. Fortunately, there is an easy-to-implement solution that deals well with all three issues. It’s called the N.E.W. plan, and involves creating three electoral wards that overlay the 10 historical wards being retained unchanged. Each electoral ward could have anywhere from two to five councillors, for a total ranging from 6 to 15 councillors. For a complete but concise description see http://tinyurl.com/mw8sp2

The citizens’ assembly recommendation on council size can be nearly met by implementing the N.E.W. Plan with either three or four councillors per electoral ward, for a total of nine or 12 councillors. Note: There was almost equal support within the citizens’ assembly for eight or 10 councillors, and four members wanted 14 or 15. So, moving slightly off 10 councillors doesn’t negate the citizens’ assembly’s work. If you want to preserve the County’s 10 historic wards and/or you like the N.E.W. Plan, please let your councillor know. Contact information is available at http://pecounty.on.ca/con tact_us.php.

Mary Catherine Scott Suite helps families at end of life County’s historic political wards remain in jeopardy

While the opening of the building run by Hospice Prince Edward is an important event for the county, many people asked to know more about the suite in the hospital. (Auxiliary donation brings joy and sadness, Aug. 15, 2013) Right in the hospital, at the end of the second floor South wing, is a very comfortable "home away from home". The PECMH Auxiliary has furnished and maintained the three-room suite for approximately 20 years. The suite consists of a living room, a bedroom, a bathroom and a kitchenette. . Families, from out of town, have been able to be close to very ill relatives,

who are county residents. Approximately 12 families a year sign the visitors' guest book, expressing thanks for the comfort they were offered in the suite. There are more families who stay, but don't sign. The Mary Catherine Scott Suite was recently refurnished with two single beds, a reclining chair, and a large sofa thanks to donations to the Auxiliary. QHC donates the space, rent free. The manager of in-patient services checks on the suite weekly and makes recommendations for its maintenance and improvements.

Radio personality brings business home Johnston returns to county to start management firm WHATTAM’S COMMUNITY CALENDAR

Jason Parks

Staff writer

About four decades ago, a story appeared in the pages of the Picton Gazette about an up-and-coming radio announcer that had spent a chunk of his formative years locally and was about to hit it big in a major Canadian market. Fast forward almost 40 years and J.J. Johnston did hit big in Canadian radio, first in the announcing side and later in the management side where he was the head of scores of prominent radio stations in two of the largest markets in North America (Toronto and Vancouver) Now Johnston has returned home to Prince Edward County where he is starting the second leg of his professional career. Johnston has built JJ International Media/Management Solutions, a consulting, interim management and executive coaching business from his home on Big Island. Johnston launched the company this summer as he wound down his career serving as regional general manager of Corus Entertainment where he looked after radio stations and web sites between Collingwood and Cornwall. “After 40 years in radio, I went to my bosses at Corus and said I want to do this, I've wanted to run my own business and I'm hoping you would be my first customer,” Johnston said. Corus senior management was supportive in Johnston's dreams and are now part of a handful of clients the PECI alumnus has built. Johnston said JJIMMS has three areas of expertise where the company will focus. With his knowledge base and decorated career in Canadian radio broadcasting, JJIMMS conducts General radio consulting that includes strategy, market breakdown, music analysis, promotional ideas, trouble shooting, talent recruitment and development. As a high level manager

that served in markets of well over a million listeners, Johnston will bring mentoring and coaching seminars to business of all stripes and with an International Coaching Certification, this can be accomplished anywhere in the world. Finally, Johnston provides interim management strategies where he can buy a client time while the best possible candidate is sought and acquired. “There are three legs to the business, but two of them aren't restricted to radio. In fact, two of the clients are already outside of the radio industry,”

Johnston said. Johnston said he took this turn in his professional life because of he and his wife , a County native, have always loved this area and considered it their home even when he was doing mornings in Winnipeg or managing CKNW (North America's leading talk show station) in Vancouver. Johnston said he's not missing the travel of managing radio stations all over southern Ontario, and added he has found a calling away from the day-today studio grind. “This me doing my thing and it's going extremely well,” he said.

Canadian National Institute for the Blind provides vision support services

The Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB) is Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary provider of vision support services. The organization provides community-based support, knowledge and a national voice to ensure Canadians who are blind or partially sighted have the confidence, skills and opportunities to fully participate in life. According to the CNIB, 75 per cent of vision loss is preventable or treatable. Their public education campaigns are designed to raise awareness about the risk factors, and help reduce preventable vision loss in Canada. Every 12 minutes, someone in Canada begins to lose their sight. Dedicated CNIB specialists and volunteers work with people of all ages in their own homes and communities â&#x20AC;&#x201C; providing the services and support they

INFOâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;FOR SENIORS

DEBBIE MACDONALD MOYNES

need to rediscover their independence and pursue their goals. The mission of the CNIB is: to enhance independence for Canadians who are blind or partially sighted and to be the

leader in promoting vision health. CNIB provides awareness projects and works with children. They also help people of all ages with everyday tasks like walking with a white cane, cooking and using public transit. While these things may seem basic they are crucial to independence. CNIB teaches people with vision loss how to do the small things that make a big difference in their quality of life. They teach independence in everyday life. More than three million Canadians canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t read print because of a disability. For people who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t read print, accessing books can be a struggle. The CNIB Library is the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest resource for free, accessible literature, and is home to more than 80,000 books in alternative formats like braille and audio.

The CNIB serves thousands of family members, caregivers, eye care professionals and all Canadians, providing them the tools to give the best possible support to the person with vision loss in their life and the awareness to prevent avoidable vision loss in the future. Any Canadian who has experienced a loss of vision can go to CNIB for support â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a child, adult or senior; whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been completely blind all your life or have recently experienced a partial loss of vision. People donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;legally blindâ&#x20AC;? to go to CNIB (in fact, nine out of every 10 people the agency serves have some degree of sight), and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need a referral of any kind.

Companion events add flavour to Taste Community Grown festival Dinner at Camp Picton among new additions this year Jason Parks

Staff writer

For the past decade or so, the Taste The County culinary celebration was a jewel in the local harvest season. Now, the jewel has a crown to go with it. Taste Community Grown (TCG) is the brainchild of Taste CEO Jeremiah MacKenzie and his team. The evolution of what was once a single day, single event is staggering. The annual celebration event that features the creations of local restaurants, the trappings of local wineries and the visions of local artists is still taking place Saturday, Sept. 28. But it's the bolt-on events that has taken this former singular happening and made it into a full weekend affair that is sure to draw thousands to the County. Already a marquee event

with a decade-long track record of offering the best the County and the region has to offer, TCG is an enhancement on the original celebration. “We have not changed the Taste! event where you sample, where you sip,” McKenzie said. “What we have done is strive to enhance around that cornerstone event and tip our hat to the other aspects that make Prince Edward County so incredibly wonderful.” The event kicks off Friday evening with a diner and a movie at the former Camp Picton. By itself, that description lacks punch however, the details, like TCG, are delicious. Event goers will step back in time and attend a delightful evening exploring the Sergeant's Mess at the former Canadian Forces Base that was built to serve the allies' needs in the Second World War.

Heron House offers a variety of small classes, private & semi-private sessions in Pilates, Piloxing, Yoga, Rebounder & P.T.

Movie in the Mess includes a a glass of regional wine or beer over live music, a dinner prepared by a regional chef and winds up with a relaxing night under the stars, watching a movie presented by the Kingston Canadian Film Festival. “There's a deep history when it comes to Camp Picton and this is a chance to reconnect people with what took place here 30, 40 and 50 years ago,” MacKenzie said. “The Friday night event is a tip of the cap to that history and an attempt to reconnect people with what took place in that sergeant’s mess hall. It's a combination of art, culture, cuisine, history and heritage with Camp Picton as a back drop.” On Saturday, an expanded TCG celebration takes place at the historic Crystal Palace. More vendors, more restaurants, more artists and more everything combine to create a one stop-shop of Prince Edward County. “When one tours the county, you are putting a lot

producers, food providers and with the farm and artisan market, there is one more layer added to our flagship event,” MacKenzie said. Seminars, the enthralling County Chopped live cooking competition and the benefit pie auction are just some of the aspects of TCG that will draw attention between delectable tastings. Dusk will fall on the County Fairgrounds and set the mood for the inaugural Back 40 Bash Saturday night, an all ages licensed event featuring the Juno Award-winning trio High Valley in what Mackenzie calls a community concert unlike any other

ever held here. “We want to keep driving that word community and the Back 40 Bash is a countykind of party that's built around bringing significant up-and-coming acts like High Valley here,” MacKenzie said. “It was important to develop programming that was accessible (all ages) and affordable ($25) within our community and we are really excited about this part of (TCG).” The concert is sure to be a draw and the buzz around a top-notch Canadian country music act such as High Valley coming to Picton is palpable in the far reaches of the Quinte area. On Sunday, after engaging in some of the finest carb loading you could ever hope to achieve the day prior, the Kiwanis Club of Picton is hosting a colour cribbage ride ride of 100, 50 and 25 km that will snake around the pastoral Prince Edward County countryside. MacKenzie said the celebration theme of the event is the same, however, it's more diverse and layered with aspects to reach a broader audience of both Prince Edward County residents and visitors alike. “It's important when we celebrate that we contribute and pay back to our community because TCG is grown from the community and built around volunteers that live here,” he said. “If we don't pay back to the community, we are doing it an injustice.” For more information including ticket info and volunteer opportunities, visit w w w. t a s t e c o m m u n i t y grown.com.

Taking care of those August chores in the garden before the season ends

While in the garden of friends this week, I was asked why their hydrangeas bloomed so sparingly this year. They were concerned that maybe they did not get enough sun. They had pruned back the dead stalks in the late spring after the leaves had appeared on the plants which are Hydrangea macrophylla , or what are often called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC; mopheadsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. There are several different types of hydrangeas and each one requires a different pruning schedule. Hydrangea macrophylla actually does not ever need to be pruned except to remove dead branches or to bring a large shrub back to a smaller size if space requires it. This type of hydrangea blooms on old wood. I have been in the habit of letting my mophead hydrangeas green up in the spring and when I feel that all the leaf buds that are on the plant have opened, I will prune whatever stalk is left above them off to just above the last leaf. I have noticed that my hydrangeas are producing fewer blooms each year as well and I think I might be too eager to cut down what I think is dead portion of the stem. Some hydrangea experts advise against pruning macrophyllas any time after early August as they will be setting the flower buds for the following year from August through November. Next year I will not prune them at all and see if I get a better bloom crop. Patience is a gardenerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s virtue after all.

ASKâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6; MASTER GARDENER

containers with a balanced soluble mixture such as 1010-10 or one higher in phosphorous such as a 15-30-15. Apply any fertilizer at half strength this time of year. Pots may require more watering now even though the temperatures are cooler simply because there is less soil and more roots in the pot than there were when you planted them in the spring. Now is a good time to harvest basil and parsley for pesto while they are at peak flavour. If you want to wait longer to harvest

the entire plant, then keep pinching the tip ends of the basil back or it will go to into bloom quickly and then to seed and the prime time flavour will be lost. Parsley sends up a separate shoot when it wants to die back. It looks similar to the other shoots but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s narrower and grows straight up on the plant. Cutting those shoots back keeps the parsley from waning. I learned a great culinary tip from a top chef a few years back. Rather than making pesto, he simply whizzed up the herb with

olive oil in food processor and then froze the mixture in ice cube trays. When the tray was frozen, he put the cubes into a freezer storage bag. When he wanted to add a basil or parsley flavour to a soup or stew in mid-winter, he just pulled a frozen cube from the bag and popped it into the pot. Similarly, if he wanted to make pesto, he had the beginnings already made up. Send your gardening questions to askamastergardener@xplornet.com.

KATHY MACPHERSON

Another reason they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bloom could have been a late winter freeze that nipped back flower buds. Water is important for hydrangeas and they are voracious drinkers. Remontant (reblooming) varieties will not re-bloom if the soil has become too dry. And, light is also a factor. Hydrangea macrophylla likes morning sun and light afternoon shade. They wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bloom well in a dark shady area. You may notice that some of your annual containers are looking a bit weary at this time of year and may need to be rejuvenated. The plants that were so fresh and perky in the spring have now grown considerably and chances are the pot is full of roots and the soil is depleted. Begin by cutting off all dead blossoms and be sure to take the stalk with it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; cut down to the next node. If

Rednersville art tour this weekend

This weekend, artists with studios stretching across County Rd. 3 from Rossmore to Carrying Place will open their working areas for the sixth annual Rednersville Road Art Tour. The self-guided tour will allow visitors access to 27 resident and guest artists in 15 different locations. Their craft features a wide variety

there are plants that have become unattractive, remove them. Rather than pulling or digging those from the pot just cut them off at the soil level so as not to disturb the roots of the other plants in the pot. Cut back trailing plants that have become straggly such as bacopa and lobelia. You can take these back by one-third and while they make look unaattractive at first; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll soon bush back out. Check the soil level in the pot and fill back in where needed. Fertilize the

of art forms including painting, wood turning, mixed media, sculpting, rug hooking, ceramics, jewelry, photography and much more. The locations are open to visitors Saturday, Sunday, and Monday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. -Staff

Dedicated group saw few absences from sessions COUNCIL, from page 1

The second session saw the members come back to the table having discussed the issue with neighbours and family. They then reviewed values and preferences what values are most important for a council to have and which values are important to individual members, which had been identified at the first session. Each member was asked to identify their top eight preferences. Three of the top values with 20 votes apiece were identified as fiscal responsibility, making decisions for the greater good, and engagement with residents. At the low end of the scale with one vote each were diversity, fairness, and empathy/respect. Six councillors also took part in a round table discussion at the second session. The third session saw the values summarized and compared the county's municipal representation to other single tier municipalities. The largest municipality identified was London

with a population of 366,151 with 14 councillors plus a mayor, 14 wards and 26,153 residents per councillor. The smallest municipality identified was Sudbury with a population of 21,196 and 12 councillors plus a mayor with 12 wards and councillors representing 1,766 residents apiece. Out of 11 municipalities Prince Edward County ranked lowest in residents per coun-

cillor at 1,684. After further evaluating values and the implications a smaller, larger, or same size council would have on them, the assembly settled on 10 as an ideal number. “This has been the second citizens' assembly I've been involved with and the thing I always come away with is how enthusiastic, smart, and dedicated citizens are,” Rose said. “We

Historic weapons cleaned and restored for Legion use CANNONS, from page 1

Originally installed at one of Boulter's canning factories in West Picton, the cannons made their way to the front of the Picton high school in 1910. After the high school was razed by fire in 1952, the cannons disappeared, only to re-emerge on the Legion's lawn in 1965. John Rankin, a great

grandson of Boulter's, visited the cannons last year and saw they were in dire need of cleaning and restoration, a task he and his niece, Debbie Rankin, undertook. “These are important relics of history and we need to ensure they are persevered and lovingly cared for in the future,” Rankin said. The EOGA completed the restoration of the Howitzer

for the branch and on Saturday, with its gleaming new green paint and sharp decals, the gun looked like it could be used if it hadn't been disabled and the need arose. “It looks spectacular and the joke in the bar goes that if we could raise it another 8 degrees, we could lob a shell over to the Picton Yacht Club, which is our main competition,” Ruthven joked.

1. Integrated Voice Response System - phone 613-354-8202 or 1-866-934-7209 and follow the voice prompts. You will require your child’s OEN number (Ontario Education Number) found on their report card and their birth date, or

2. Go to www.triboard.on.ca and click on the “Student Information” button at the top of the web page. Scroll down to “What Is My Bus Number.” You will require your child’s OEN number (Ontario Education Number) found on their report card and their birth date. 3. If you have not registered your child for school, please do so at the school office during the week of August 26th, 2013.

ask them a lot, we ask them to devote three whole Saturdays to an issue that they all had opinions on, but probably hadn't thought in great detail about.” Rose said the recommendation is the result of intensive learning, discussion amongst assembly members, and discussion with family and neighbours. He acknowledged the dedication of the citizens' assembly members. “Through the course of three weekends we only had three absences, which is pretty spectacular. The process was great,” he said. Local carpenter and citizens' assembly member Drew Dick said in a release from the municipality that the assembly worked hard to find a Goldilocks zone. “We were very concerned about reaching a sweet spot,” Dick said. “With 10 councillors plus the mayor, we felt it was important to have an uneven size of council to avoid tie votes. The vast majority of us felt strongly that council could be more effective if it was smaller.”

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, you may want to be friends with everyone, but you may have to accept that you have a few people who just do not meld with your interests. Hang out with those who do. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Exercise can do more than just keep you physically fit, Leo. It also can help boost your mood when you need a pick-me-up, which could be the case in the near future.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, generosity will endear you to others, but you have to be generous for the right reasons. It's not a good idea to build friendships on false pretenses. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, avoid taking on any more projects for the time being. Although you excel in tackling things, even the best of us need a rest from time to time. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you will have to buckle down and get some things done at work, even if you are a little under the weather. Take things nice and easy once your work is done.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, a hectic schedule is compromising your ability to stay focused on the tasks at hand. You may need some help sorting some things out. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 There are enough diversions around to take your mind off of your problems, Pisces. They may not disappear, but you can address some issues later.

The Picton Gazette Motions to increase support level defeated soundly at Shire Hall

amendment to increase the support to the tune of $200,000 and that the money be collected through next year's taxes. Forrester said since he's been on council he's heard numerous councillors say the majority of residents in Prince Edward County are opposed to industrial wind turbines. “Usually 10 or 11 (councillors) on every single vote related to green energy has said they represent the people of Prince Edward County and I'm assuming they represent the majority in their wards,” Forrester said. “Now I'm saying it's time to get off the pot here. Let's stand up here and do our jobs. If that's what you believe in, lets back these people up to the full extent.” Gale called the motion “a mockery against council.” “The mover says he's not going to support the motion and the seconder says I'm not sure if I'm going to,” he said. “Council is being mocked.” The motion lost in a recorded vote of 12–4 with councillors Forrester, Marisett, Alec Lunn, and Robert Quaiff voting in favour. Marisett then made a motion to increase the number to $40,000, which lost by a margin of 11–5.

“It was really a life-changing experience,” she said. “It offered more exposure to a range of different styles and I was able to pick up some things.” The 28 violin players were split into two groups with half playing first seat and half playing second seat. Garrett said the NYOC organizers managed to split the parts so all of the young musicians participating had a chance to take a lead. Heading out on the road was an interesting experience as the orchestra booked hotel rooms with four musicians together in one room. Thost were close quarters, however, Garrett said a love for music seemed to help members bond and feel comfortable in their surroundings. Over a two-week tour, the orchestra would head from Laurier to Toronto, the National Arts Centre in Ottawa, and Montreal, then fly to Calgary for a western span that also included a one-day drive north to Edmonton and a two-day trek west to Vancouver. Garrett said she had never been to British Columbia before participating in with the NYOC and the trip offered her a new

Maintenance refers to improper intervention — through financial or other support — in a lawsuit by any person or group that is not a party in that lawsuit. Demille says in the letter “the essence of an action for maintenance is that there must be conduct involving officious or improper interference in a case or an attempt to stir up strife or litigation.” “In my view, that is not the case here,” the letter says. Councillor Barb Proctor supported the grant. She said new regulations have made it extremely difficult to oppose green energy projects. “The Green Energy Act is definitely flawed and for that reason, not that reason alone, but for that reason primarily I will support this grant to the field naturalists,” she said. Turpin said he didn't support the grant because of the timing of it. He said it's well after budget time and the grant could set a precedent. “At any time of the year if people come and say 'we need help with our legal fees' and we give them $20,000 and we keep doing that, it's a precedent we don't need to do,” he said. “… If we want to put pressure on the government there's some other things we should be doing instead of just giving out money.” Two other motions to increase the amount of funding were put forward, but lost. In a jibe to councillors who have been vehemently opposed to industrial wind projects, councillor Jamie Forrester put forward an

Dukes do everything but win game for B.J. Ketcheson Exhibition opener raises more than $10,000 for alum battling cancer Jason Parks

Staff writer

It was almost a perfect night for the Wellington Dukes. Almost. The local Junior A squad hooked up with the Kingston Voyageurs for their first preseason action Tuesday night in Napanee at the Strathcona Paper Centre. The game was a fundraiser for one-time Duke B.J. Ketcheson who now a self employed carpenter and is battling stage three cancer. The night was a big success for the Ketcheson family as over $10,000 was raised for the 1997 NHL draft pick of Florida Panthers as he continues to undergo radiation and chemotherapy treatment. Wellington Dukes coach and general manager Marty Abrams said the club was thrilled both with the crowd of over 700 fans as well as all those that worked behind the scenes to make the evening a great success. “We are thrilled. When you see something like that come together the way it did, it is awe inspiring,” he said. Former Dukes assistant coach Jeff Foster, a boyhood friend of Ketcheson, took

over the Wellington bench for the evening and was instrumental in putting the word out about the game in local hockey circles. Ticket sellers like the Shoeless Joe's Sports Grill and AM Sports in Napanee and Lavender Furniture in Wellington did their part. Even the Town of Greater Napanee can be

lauded after they waived the evening's ice rental fees. “They offered to wave the fee before they were even asked. That tells you a lot about that community and their leadership and how they rise to the occasion,” Abrams said. Both hockey teams rose to the occasion, offering a high tempo affair that did-

n't look like you average preseason tune up. The game was back and forth through the entire 60 minutes. An unfortunately timed gaff in the Kingston offensive zone lead to the Vees Brett Seney potting the game winner, making it 6-5 with about 1:25 left on the clock.

Up until that point, Wellington had an answer for the Vees, even when Kingston got out a 4-1 lead in the second period. “There was no quit and it was nice to see us battle back like that,” Abrams said. Erick Delaurentis started the scoring, converting a nice Kyle Paat

feed just 3:07 into the game. But from there, it was all Vees over the next 25 minutes as Seney, Michael Casale, Alex Tonge and Mason Nowak helped build a three goal cushion. Delaurentis sparked the comeback with a powerplay marker at the halfway mark in the game and nice goals from Steven Deeg and Parker Wood meant the game was squared at 44 with 20 minutes left. Charles Dube staked the Vees to a one goal lead early in the third but the Dukes came back on Kingston again when Andrew Coupland's powerplay point blast bulged the twine at 14:18 of the third. The game looked destined for overtime but a late odd man rush into the Dukes zone offered Seney a chance to put the Vees ahead late and the veteran capitalized. Adam Wood started in net for Wellington and was victimized a couple of times in the second. The lanky Lindsay product did make a ten bell save late in the second, however, that kept the game in check and allowed Wellington to get the thenequalizer a shift later. Wellington hooked up with Trenton last night after press time. The Dukes are on the road this weekend, taking on the Golden Hawks in Trenton on Friday night and the Vees in Kingston on Saturday afternoon.

Smaller training camp helps Dukes put the pieces together for season Wellington trims right down to 27 skaters and three goaltenders after weekend Jason Parks

As advertised. That's the best description of the Wellington Dukes training camp at Essroc Arena this past weekend. A smaller camp of three loaded teams that had some rink rust Saturday but quickly cranked up the pace on Sunday, making for some incredibly tough decisions for Wellington Dukes coach and general manager Marty Abrams. Abrams said as of the end of the weekend session, the club was down to 27 skaters and three netminders. “It was really beneficial to have a smaller camp. We felt it was a really good process and we are down to the number we wanted to

be at,” Abrams told the Gazette. Both prospects and recent acquisition always draw the most attention at these types of events and four of the latest Wellington Duke signees were watched carefully by both management and Dukes fans that were happy to sacrifice a nice August weekend to take in the action. The trio of Junior B standouts — forward Kody Gratton, defender Andrew Coupland, and netminder Lucas Machalski — were sharp in the scrimmages this weekend as was former Whitby Fury forward Steven Deeg. “I was really pleased with all of them. They were as advertised and they are doing what they need to do,” Abrams said. Although diminutive in

stature, Gratton showed what attracted the Dukes to him on day one, slipping in and out of traffic and showing a willingness to compete in the high traffic areas. Gratton potted a pair of goals in a scrimmage including an overtime winner. In terms of prospects that will be moving on to OHL camps this week, both Josh Supryka and Jacob Panetta were sharp and could have played their way onto the 2014 Dudley Hewitt Cup hosts. “(Supryka) had an outstanding couple of days with us and we will certainly monitor his progress in the next week or so,” Abram said. “I think if Jacob doesn't make the Bulls, he will be with us. He’s going to have a great run. Everybody knew about

his skill level but he's developed a physical dimension to his game. He's used to playing with older players, he had a heck of season with Picton playing for a provincial championship and he's turned into a wellrounded defenceman.” Both will be at Belleville Bulls camp starting this weekend, meaning their status for last night's game against the Trenton Golden Hawks at Essroc Arena was up in the air. Another Duke that could be a Bull was winger Spencer Turcotte. The former Guelph Storm forward has dropped significant weight in the offseason and added an extra a gear or two to his skating stride.

Fitness Powers takes top spot in inaugural adult loop

nice exclamation mark on what we were trying to accomplish with the league.” The organization is hoping to increase to at least six teams at the start of the next season. Anyone 19 or older can participate and all skill levels are welcomed to register for the league next spring. Additionally, Wentworth said Come Alive Outside will be looking to draw from the established participants — and others in the community who would like to participate — to host some adult recreational activities in the fall and throughout the year. He said anyone looking to join in can follow all the news on the Come Alive Outside Adult Soccer League Facebook group or www.comealivepec.ca. “Now that we have this great core of people that want to get out and be active, we're hoping to make it a weekly event, even if it's just a pickup kind of thing with a variety of sports and activities,” Wentworth said.

The inaugural season of the Prince Edward County Soccer Association (PECSA) and Come Alive Outside's Adult Soccer League came to a close last week, but that doesn't mean the activity will stop. While the soccer season is done, organizers at Come Alive Outside are hoping to spread different events throughout the fall. Aug. 21 marked the finale the Adult Soccer League's top team The Fitness Powers took home top regular first season, which was season honours in the inaugural Come Alive Outside and deemed a huge success with four teams and 84 registered PECSA Adult Soccer League which wrapped its year last Wednesday at the Johnson Street field.

CARDS OF THANKS

ere are so many more people to thank for their help with our Humanitarian Aid. Patchwork Butterfly has touched the lives of more than 1115 Dominican children. Our Saboneta School has 700 kids and we supply all their school supplies and 3 boxes of shoes so they don’t have to walk to school barefoot. e government provided juice is now refrigerated as we bought them a cooler. Our new orphanage holds 415 kids. e big Italian not for profit that helps them, paid for the property and constructor and ask me if I could do what I’ve done before. We, with the help of the Second Time Around will cloth the kids and provide 415 small toys for Christmas and provide school supplies for the 300 school age kids. Our hospital does not keep track of the number of children they treat so can’t estimate how many they expect. I now want to thank my cousin Flo, for buying school supplies for 100 kids. anks to Darlene and her sister for the school supplies for 100 more kids. anks to Rebecca for a shopping bag of school supplies, two bags of small toys and one shopping bag full of school supplies but mostly thanks for the shopping trip to Belleville where I bought 869 lined exercise books and 35 Dollarama calculators. anks to Christine, our hard working friendly and good natured cashier at Walmart, and thanks to Lewis for all the trips to Milford and back. e shoppers and vendors at Milford Market Square are wonderful. A lovely family with 3 girls has promised me paper and toys but two weeks ago 2 small girls were at my tables playing with my jewelry. One took jewelry around the corner and played with the jewelry and beanies. ey wouldn’t let any shoppers near my table. I have worked with many kids groups and have never heard that language. After 12 minutes the father appeared and tidied up a bit and dragged them away. I was buﬀying some of the jewelry and discovered the cellophane wrap on a set of jewelry. e $6 necklace was missing. You might not think $6 is not much but it will buy health insurance for an orphan for a year. My speaking engagement at Picton Library has been delayed to late October. We have a new member, welcome Adelle! Shirley Kay, President & co-founder Patchwork Butterfly

STEVENSON, Joseph David John. who passed away August 30, 1995. If I could have a lifetime wish and one dream that could come true We would pray to God with all our hearts, just to see and speak to you. A thousand words wouldn't bring you back we know because we've tried and neither will a million tears we know because we've cried. You've left behind our broken hearts and precious memories too but we have never wanted memories we only wanted you. Remembered and loved always by your brothers and sisters

Elmer Leon Robinson

August 2, 1938 – June 16, 2013

Elmer was born on August 2, 1938 in Picton. He was the son of Leonard and Mabel (nee Breakenridge) Robinson. He already had an older brother Orval and sister’s Lillian and Reta. Being the fourth child he had lots of help from his older siblings to learn quickly how to do things and watched carefully what was allowed and what was not in their home. He did not remain the youngest for long as soon he had another brother Cecil come into his life. Again he helped his younger brother to learn the ropes as they had done for him. They were a close knit family spending lots of time together and the boys were always watching and learning from their Father who was a mechanic. The girls spent time helping their Mother in the house learning how to cook. They all had chores that they were required to do. They did a lot of things as a family including Sunday drives around the County visiting and always enjoyed large delicious meals around the table with lots of conversation. It was a busy and happy household with five children. Elmer attended the local schools but would rather be at home working on a vehicle. He

The family of Kenneth ‘Raymond’ McIntosh would like to correct an oversight in our recent Thank You. Inadvertently we failed to mention Roy Rorabeck, a dear friend and talented musician who performed some of Dad’s favourite Bluegrass tunes. In addition he assisted David and Dayton in composing the memorable tune ‘Digging up Bombs’. Roy, although you were not mentioned in the notice, you were most certainly in our hearts.

OFFICIAL NOTICE

took a keen interest in vehicles at a very early age. It was evident that the path he chose for himself would be something to do with cars. Shortly after he started to notice girls as most boys do at that certain age. He was friendly with many and they often went places in groups but once in a while he would meet one and take quite an interest in her. This happened with one particular girl names Arlene Lalonde. In fact she became his steady girl and after a courtship they decided to tie the knot. On August 27th, 1960 they got married. Elmer was busy doing two jobs at this time. He was working and going to trade school to become a Body Repair Man and Arlene worked at Bata Shoe. They were busy making their house a home and getting used to their new life together. After a couple of years they started a family. First they had a son named Allen, followed by a daughter Mary, then along came son Wayne and finally daughter Anne. By this time Arlene was busy being a Mother and he was the main provider being a licensed Body Man starting out at Picton Body Shop, then Lange and Fetter in Trenton and finally at Wright’s Garage in Bloomfield. He worked there for many years but always wanted to have his own Body Shop. Well this dream came true in September of 1979. They purchased a home and garage next to Birdhouse City on the way to Waupoos just outside of town. The family moved in and he worked very hard to get this business going. Well it didn’t take long for him to have a good established business. He was very particular about his work and always wanted the customer to be happy. If they were not he made sure when their vehicle left his place they were pleased. He was a very accommodating man in this way and that is why he became a preferred garage for many insurance companies around town. Over the years he and Arlene attended a lot of dances at the Elk’s Lodge in Picton and he became an Elk member. He held various positions including Secretary and Exalted Ruler. In

1984 Arlene became ill and had some surgery. She was not in the best of health after this and they kind of slowed down and did not go out as much as they used to. They decided to purchase a cottage and stay a little closer to home. Many good times were spend with all the family at this cottage. They had a boat and waterskiing and cruising were very much enjoyed by them all. During this time the children had grown and were bringing boyfriends and girlfriends home with them to visit and everyone was getting their license. It was a busy time and finally other members were joining the family like daughters-in-law and sons-in-law. When they all got together it was quite a crowd and Elmer enjoyed it when the kids were all at home on a Sunday spending the day together. It didn’t take long for the family to continue to grown when the grandchildren started arriving. Suddenly Arlene passed away on October 20, 1997. Everything changed after that. Elmer decided to sell the Body Shop and the cottage and retire. He seemed lost and didn’t know what to do with his time. One of his friends told him he should start coming back to the Elk’s as it would do him good and get him out of the house. He did and after enjoying getting back into going to the Elk’s again one night he met a lady that caught his eye. Her name was Sandy Mills and they started to spend quite a bit of time together. He seemed happy again and allt he family was glad about this. Their Dad was back. He was more like himself and seemed very happy. Then one day he announced to his family that they were going to get married. So on April 1st, 2000 they did. What a party we had!! She fit in very well and everyone liked her right from the start. She had three children of her own and he just treated them like he did his own children with love and respect. Elmer did not wan to do body work anymore but did build a large garage at their place after the marriage. They started taking an interest in antiques and attending auction sales and it took off from there. He and Sandy would go to

auctions, buy lots of things, fix and refinish them and then sell them in one of the many yard sales that they had in their garage. He enjoyed visiting and dickering with all the customers that came to the sales. This went on for many years and they really enjoyed it. During this time Sandy still worked and Elmer would run errands that needed doing, take the grandchildren to appointments and babysit. He also enjoyed spending time with their dogs and took them out in the truck with him sometimes. In the spring of 2012 Elmer started to lose some weight and was not feeing just right. He sort of ignored it for a while and finally went to the Doctor. He was eventually sent to Kingston Hospital and was diagnosed with lung cancer. There was really nothing they could do for him so the next 5 1/2 month were very tough on himself and everyone involved. He went downhill and was not able to do much. He kept a positive attitude during this time and made plans and double checked that all the tings that needed doing were getting done. He knew what the outcome would be but tried to make the best of every situation that was handed to him. On June 16th Father’s Day he passed away peacefully. His family had all been there with him that day and he was aware of this. He leaves behind to mourn his loss his loving wife sandy, son Allen & Lisa, daughter Mary & Rick, son Wayne & Kim and daughter Anne & Brad. Also stepson Paul & Dionne, stepson Trevor and step-daughter Tanya & Pablo. Also many loving grandchildren that will miss their fun loving, happy Grandpa. There was a visitation for people to pay their respects on Thursday June 20th and a graveside funeral at the Cherry Valley Cemetery on Friday, June 21st. Elmer was cremated and buried with a Body Dolly and Hammer and two special hats, County Traders and Neil Lambert Auctions. Elmer was a happy go lucky man that enjoyed life and was fun to be around. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

Picton coach and general manager Ryan Woodward said he was pleased with the team's performance so far through training camp and two pre-season road contests versus the Campbellford Rebels (a 1–0 victory last Thursday) and the Amherstview Jets (a 3–2 win Sunday night). “They're working hard and showing a high compete level; they're showing some urgency to try to make the hockey club,” he said. He said the team battled through two tough road games and noted the efforts of several new faces. Among the standouts for the coach were goaltenders Matt Loveys and Brock Tufts, and others were Liam Hunter, Brodie Butt, Noah Sager, and Calum Kennelly. “They've been impressive in their performances,” Woodward said. He said he's been also been happy with a couple of local products throughout training camp. “Ryan Jones showed a lot of heart and drive in the two games he had this week, he shows a lot of potential and we're hoping to work with him in the future,” said Woodward. “Tye Eaton — a big, young local defenceman — shows a lot of promise, a lot of poise. He's only going to get better.” Last Thursday's contest saw the Pirates take to the

Dukes hit road for Trenton, Kingston CAMP, from page 18

That should serve him well when he's on the big ice with the Bulls this weekend. Wellington will be in Trenton to play the Golden Hawks on Friday evening and then will travel to Kingston to play the Voyageurs at the Invista Centre at 2:30 p.m.

ice at RCAF Arena to take on the Campbellford Rebels. The contest wound up a goaltending battle with Picton eventually coming out on top 1–0 courtesy a Nikita Lityvak goal. “For a pre-season game it's not often you see a 1–0 score. The teams played well at both ends of the ice. There was a good pace to the game, a good intensity to the game,” Woodward said. Goaltenders Tufts and

Brenton McKenzie-Crowe shared the shutout. “Goaltending was fantastic at both ends. It was kind of a chess match out there with each team taking turns with some offensive opportunities,” he said. “We had some guys really looking to lay the body and the two veterans that dressed for us — (Devin) McCann and (Nolan) Van Vlack — were strong leaders and have really elevated their game over the course of an off-season.”

quickly,” Woodward said. However, it was a veteran who got the Pirates on the board first in the 3–2 win over the Jets. Levi George found the back of the net at 4:36 of the first period. Two minutes later the Pirates had an opportunity to add to the lead with Dawson Chard in the box for interference, but were unable to score. Picton held onto the lead until Amherstview's Ben Bianco scored a power-play goal at 15:13 to even things

Woodward said the Rebels dressed a number of players who have already been signed as well as some veterans. In Sunday's contest the Pirates again stuck with a new-look lineup, keeping most returning players out of the action so far. “We haven't dressed many returning players at all. We've given the prospects here a good opportunity to impress, but we're trying to move along with our camp pretty

up with Van Vlack in the box for holding. The score remained even until the midway point of the second when Van Vlack was able to bulge the twine. Early in the third Butt scored to give Picton a twogoal advantage. Four minutes later Joey Mayer scored to pull the Jets within one, but the Pirates were able to hold off Amherstview to take the win. Woodward said the club wanted to give the prospects in the lineup a chance to show their talent. “We don't want to waste anybody's time, we want to make sure everybody has a chance to find a spot somewhere in the Empire,” he said. “We gave them some simple things to focus on and they performed and they executed.” He said the two positive game provide something the club can build on going forward. The Pirates will again face the Rebels tonight at 7:30 at Essroc Arena in Wellington. Meanwhile, the club has continued to bring in some talented players. The Pirates announced this week the acquisition of Taylor Brown from Amherstview for cash considerations. “He's going to add some toughness, some grit,” said Woodward. “He's an experienced guy; he's been in our league and he's played Junior A with the Kingston Voyageurs.” In addition, the Pirates have welcomed back Nolan Powers, Andrew Pearson, and Evan Greer for next season. Woodward said each brings skill, strong play, and veteran leadership to the team. He said Pearson is the backbone of the back end, Powers brings a big, physical body to the blue line, and Greer brings four years of experience and strong two-way play.

If Whitepine Watershed wants to repeat as playoff champion of the Prince Edward County Men's Fastball League, they will need to take the long route to that goal. The Beatty Seeds Huskers put any thought of a Whitepine victory march on hold Tuesday night as the Seedmen blanked the Deseronto squad 2-0 in the double elimination playoffs. Dan Wallwork was masterful from the hill, fanning 11 Whitepine batters while going the distance. Donald Bartman homered for the Huskers while Dennis Smith drove in Kyle Beatty for the other run of the game. The loss means Whitepine will hook up with Terra Vista tonight on Tyen-

dinaga at 7 p.m. The winner will be moving on to take on Ameliasburgh at 8:30 p.m. In another shocker, Danford Contracting and the A's hooked up to eliminate Roblin's Family Plumbing, a squad that was in first place for most of the regular season. In the early contest in Tyendinaga, Sean Young drove in six as Danford blanked the Copperheads by a 7-0 margin. With their pla.yoff lives on the line in the late game, the Snakes were edged by the Warren's Excavating A's 3-1. Ian Wallwork drove in a pair while Eric Wells had the other rbi for Ameliasburgh. In the winner's bracket tonight, Danford and Beatty Seeds will hook up with a trip to the league finals on the line. The first pitch is at 7 p.m. In Tyendinaga.

Campbell says need for affordable housing is real ZONING, from page 1

Councillor Bev Campbell said she didn't condone the apartment's construction without the proper building permits, but said the need for affordable housing can't be ignored. She said council has already identified affordable housing as a priority. “The fact that it's an after -the-fact kind of approval being requested here is not something I condone at all, but I don't believe it should be any part of this decison,” she said. “In my mind I can separate the violation taking place here.” She said council has already approved similar seasonal accommodations in rural areas. “We would support this if it were tourism related because we've already identified the creation of tourism accommodations in connection with farming is a good thing,” she said. Nowitski said Lambert is being “demonized” and suggested the contractor should have known building permits were needed for the work. “We all know somebody in this room sitting next to

you who has done renovations to their home that required building permits and didn't bother to get one,” he said. “… (Lambert) is not the demon here, there are other people involved.” The issue first cropped up at a July 17 planning public council meeting where councillors voted unanimously to support a zoning amendment request from resident Marta Lambert to allow her to use two outbuildings for one-bedroom apartments in addition to the main residence. The approval came despite a recommendation from planning staff to deny the application as it was not in line with the Provincial Policy Statement or the municipality's official plan. Additional information provided at the July 17 meeting by chief building official Andy Harrison indicated the two apartments are being serviced by the existing septic system for the main residence which he said is insufficient. He also said ground water was insufficient to supply the new apartments. The issue was deferred to Tuesday because the

‘Land use planning would become irrelevant if all someone needs to do is build without a permit... J. THOMPSON FORMER COUNCILLOR

motion did not receive a two-thirds majority as six councillors were absent. The public outcry from neighbours and other residents was clear after the approval and was visible at Tuesday night's council meeting. Neighbour Mary MacDonald said she was sad to have to speak out against a neighbour, but said there are too many unanswered questions surrounding the apartments. “My main reason for objecting to the zoning amendment is because I don't know what the impact will be on the future of the county,” she said. Prince Edward Federation of Agriculture presi-

dent John Thompson said the federation strongly opposed the zoning amendment. “Land use planning would become irrelevant if all someone needs to do is build without a permit in an area prohibited by zoning and provide a story seemingly compelling,” he said. Lambert was scheduled to make a deputation to council on Tuesday, but didn't attend. She said at the July 17 meeting she was providing affordable housing and needed the additional income from the apartments due to her financial situation. A letter from Brett French provided at Tuesday's meeting indicates the difficulty renters have finding affordable accommodations. French said he rents one of Lambert's apartments with his girlfriend. “We found searching for rental units in the county very difficult,” he said in the letter. “With the growing wine industry and other industries in the county there will be more people looking to move here for seasonal jobs.”

THE PICTON GAZETTE

Cozy, quaint homes attract many home buyers and renters. Be it a cottage-style house or a studio apartment, smaller living spaces often involve getting creative with storage. People live in a smaller homes for a variety of reasons. Some choose to live in a smaller home so they can be right in the thicks of things in a city or urban center. Others scale back on living space in an effort to save money. But storage space in small quarters is often at a premium, and thinking creatively is a necessity to keep the home tidy and items out of view. Rainy or chilly days are the perfect times to tackle indoor organization projects. When the outdoors isn't beckoning, you can devote all of your attention to addressing storage issues in your home. To begin, take inventory of what you have, going through your possessions and determining what can stay and what can go. Part with anything you haven't used in quite some time. The next step is to sort items and get organized. Then you can find a place for everything. For example, if you have a dozen bath towels but only one sauce pot, you will need to find more room for linens than kitchen cookware. You may need to borrow space from

How to increase storage in tight spaces one area of the home to give to another area. The following are some additional tips to increase space in an otherwise cramped home.

Add shelves

Increase cabinet and closet space by adding shelves into them. This may double or even triple the amount of usable space, especially if you customize the shelving to fit storage containers you use to store everything from shoes to craft items.

Opt for furniture

dual-purpose

Benches with lids that lift up and sofas that convert into guest beds are just a few of the many ways you can keep a small home neat and increase storage space. An ottoman is a great place to store extra blankets and linens, while a trunk or crate with a sturdy top can be used in lieu of a traditional coffee table to keep books or board games.

Think vertically

When floor space is at a premium, you may need to look up for storage. Frequently used pots and pans can be hung from a decorative rack in your kitchen. Use magnets on jars to store a spice rack on the wall near the stove.

Racks above cabinets or on doors can be used to store everything from shoes to jewelry to toiletries. Shelving in children's rooms can store lesser used toys away from the floor. Empty walls are valuable real estate in a small home, and tall bookshelves can house a number of different things.

Take advantage of oddly shaped crevices

If you have space under a staircase or a spot by a dormer or in an attic eave, use the space to store items. You may need to get creative, such as adding a door and small closet into the staircase, but such spaces make practical storage areas and add character to a home.

Use see-through storage containers

Many people find that plastic storage bins are neater and more stackable than boxes. See-through bins enable you to quickly find items so that you are not searching around the house for lost items and creating a bigger mess along the way. Clear storage containers work in the refrigerator, too. You can more easily spot leftovers, and uniform stacking containers free up more room for bulkier items.

your bed

There likely is ample room to store more things than just dust bunnies beneath your bed. A bed frame with built-in drawers is the perfect place to keep bed linens and out-of-season clothes. Beds can be raised on blocks to create more space underneath for storing rolling plastic containers and even seldom-used suitcases.

Opt for an armoire

Armoires are not exclusive to bedrooms. Armoires can be used in dining spaces or in dens to store items out of sight. An armoire can be used when retrofitted with a pull-out shelf as a laptop desk, storing all office items behind closed doors when

ARE YOU STILL SEARCHING FOR YOUR DREAM HOME? Make use of space beneath

not needed.

Improve storage in the bathroom

Try to choose a vanity that has under-the-sink storage so you will have a place to store some toiletries. Home improvement centers sell cabinets and etageres that can be placed above the toilet tank as a storage space for bathroom items. In the shower, hang a second tension-loaded shower curtain rod on the inside of the shower enclosure that can be used to hold bags of kids bath toys and other toiletries, keeping them off the tub ledges. When you think creatively, you can maximize storage space even in a small home.

THESE THESE PAGES PAGES COULD COULD BE BE THE THE KEY KEY TO TO YOUR YOUR SUCCESS! SUCCESS!

DO YOU HAVE THE COVERAGE NEEDED?

have that coverage, call your insurance agent. If your home and possessions have increased in value or you’ve made improvements to your property in recent years, check your coverage limits. Consider increasing your coverage if the policy doesn’t cover the current value of your home and its contents. Most standard policies usually limit payments on valuables such as jewelry, silverware, antiques, boats and guns, and computers. If you live in a condominium, find out what coverage your condominium association provides. You may need your own homeowner or renter’s policy to cover any damage that may occur to your unit and its contents. Pay attention to your deductible or out-of-pocket expenses. Most policies have a higher deductible for hurricane damage. Does your policy cover the replacement cost or depreciated value of your possessions? Most policies cover the “actual cash value,” or depreciated value, of personal belongings, which means you won’t get what you paid for your furniture, electronics and clothing if they’re ruined. It costs more to insure them for Example: mortgage, car loan and credit cards total $225,000.

Extremes now seem to be the norm for our weather.
