Big Island blaze levels home, damage estimated at $300,000 JAson PArks

Staff writer

Prince Edward County Firefighters were kept busy this weekend with a pair of fires that could considered to be on the opposite ends of the severity spectrum. On Saturday, fire crews were called to a section of the Millennium Trail adjacent to Universal Fan and Blower in Bloomfield. It's believed a large cormorant landed atop one of the power lines that run from the manufacturing facility and its wing must have come in contact with another line, electrocuting the bird instantly. “It began to smoke before falling to the ground and it started a small grass fire,” Prince Edward County deputy fire chief Robert Rutter said. A passer by noticed the grass had started to catch fire and called 911. About 15 firefighters responded to the call “We weren't really sure what we had when the call came in but it was pretty tame,” Rutter said. Rutter added firefighters had the scene cleared within half an hour. On Monday evening, Prince Edward County firefighters responded to a call

of a house fire on North Big Island Road. By the firefighters arrived, the house was almost fully involved and efforts to save the two story home became a mission to contain the blaze as much as possible to avoid damage to nearby structures. Rutter said 35 firefighters responded to call and the home owner was not present at the time of the fire. “There were no injures from the incident but the home is a complete loss and the estimated damages are around $300,000,” Rutter said. Fire crews were kept on scene to battle hot spots until 2 a.m. Cause of the fire was un-

determined at press time, however, investigators were due to start combing the scene on Tuesday afternoon. Witness Trevor Nielsen brought the pictures of the Big Island blaze to the Gazette office Tuesday morning. Nielsen and his fiance Katie Burjoski were vacationing on the Island at a nearby accommodation and said he was impressed at the speed in which Prince Edward County firefighters arrived on scene and began battling he blaze. “They moved very fast to contain the fire, it was very impressive,” Nielsen, a Picton native now living in Waterloo said.

Many Monarchists have searched long and hard for the perfect souvenir of Queen Elizabeth II’s 60th year on the throne. Last Thursday, 13 people from across Prince Edward and Hastings County — including three county residents — received priceless mementos of the occasion, though not one actively sought the treasure. At Belleville’s Zwick’s Park, Prince EdwardHastings MPP Todd Smith handed out a baker’s dozen Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medals, recognizing significant volunteer contributions within his riding. Smith explained the province is handing out more than 2,000 medals, while federal government also has a number to award. He said the winners personify the spirit of kindness and service the Queen has come to represent. “These recipients have made extraordinary contributions in our communities and made our province a better place to live,” he said. “We’re proud of their accomplishments and their drive o make a difference. They’re a true reflection of Her Majesty’s legacy.” Among the county natives

recognized were Jeanette Arsenault, Jerry Mattis, and Myrna Wood. A singer-songwriter, Arsenault has offered her talents to church and service groups within the county as well as local arts initiatives, though her impact hasn’t been confined within the borders of the county. “She’s quite a talent,” said Smith. “Her work with 60 Million Girls empowers women and girls through education, and she works with Invisible Army which supports the families and communities of our Canadian soldiers.” Arsenault has also been front-and-centre in organizing benefits for countries around the world affected by natural disasters, like Japan and Haiti in recent years. She said she’s always been impressed with the way the community generously supports those efforts with their time and money. Arsenault said without them, she couldn’t do what she’s done. “The county has been so generous. It is a community that is filled with volunteers — they make it work and they make Canada work.” Asked why she has been so giving with her talents, for more than two decades, Arsenault had a simple answer.

Lunn questions potential costs associated with proposed strategic sesssions

Councillors authorize facilitated mid-term review Chad Ibbotson Staff writer

With half of their term in the books council has voted to authorize a mid-term review session that will be funded from the council education and training budget. The the purpose of the review was outlined in a report from county chief administrative officer Merlin Dewing that was presented to council Tuesday. “In order to ensure the momentum is maintained and to verify, set and or adjust the course for the remaining two years, a mid-term review session is suggested,” the report says. The report says early in this term council set several priorities and action items to work toward. It says many of the priorities have either been

achieved or are in progress, but some new initiatives have arisen. A council survey at the beginning of this year reiterated council's objectives, but the report says a midterm review could ensure those goals and objectives are in line with strategic planning. The report says the review session could include: A refresh of councillor orientation; a discussion of the CAO's 2012 goals; discussion on the current corporate realignment process; a progress report on council's priorities; identification of new priorities of adjustments to current programs; and a facilitated session between member of council and senior staff. “A facilitated session is strongly recommended to foster full, open and honest communication and participation by all present,” the report says. “A facilitator would be sought with a

all of the session could be closed to the public. Councillor Alec Lunn showed concern over the expense of a facilitated session. “How much is this going to cost?” Lunn said. Dewing said there were currently no cost estimates for the session. “The budget hasn't been struck,” he said. He said following authorization of a mid-term review session he would compile council recommendations and suggestions for the meeting's agenda. “Following council's recommendations and suggestions for what the agenda should look like, what kind of a venue you would like and, of course, to be facilitated or not, will have an impact on the cost,” he said. “We'll set a date, set a venue, set an agenda and set a budget for council's approval.”

suCCessful saIl Sandy Macpherson returned home Wednesday morning at 4:30 after sailing non-stop around Lake Ontario for four days. (Chad Ibbotson/Gazette staff)

breakfast and car wash in support of Sail for A Cure was held at a packed Prince Edward Yacht Club where well wishers regularly stopped to share a few words. “It's amazing. When I came up with this thing I didn't think it would be this big,” he said. After setting an initial goal of $4,500 Macpherson flashed a smile when explaining that he had already raised $12,000 and was setting his sights on $15,000. A fundraiser at the Bay Of Quinte Yacht Club last month raised $10,000. At first he thought he would sail just around the county, but began to think bigger.

“To my knowledge its never been done before,” he said of a single-handed nonstop trip around the lake. Macpherson has been sailing since he was nine years old, attending sailing school at the Prince Edward Yacht Club where he is now an instructor. He called himself a semi-experienced sailor, but the journey he was about to embark on was a challenge unlike he'd ever had. He estimated the trip would take five to seven

Sandy Macpherson has completed four days of non-stop sailing in support of cancer research. The 19-year-old Picton resident set sail Sunday morning to make his 450nautical mile journey around the circumference of Lake Ontario to raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society. However, Macpherson's metaphorical journey began much sooner. “My best friend, he lost his mom to cancer and I had always been thinking of doing a fundraiser like this. Everyone is affected by cancer, my grandfather died of cancer, his wife had breast cancer and on my moms side three relatives had cancer — it's the leading cause of premature death in Canada,” he said. “It's a cause that's close to so many hearts and I really wanted to do something.” The well-spoken teenager attends Plymouth University in England where he is seeking a degree in navigation and maritime science. He said he came up with Sail for A Cure because sailing is his passion and ultimately he would like to race the boats professionally. He will be sailing in a 24foot sailboat named Jackknife, which he admits isn't necessarily built for this kind of trip. Macpherson said he's had a lot of help preparing and the support shown before he cast off his lines on Sunday was proof of that. A pancake

days depending on the wind and he could face storms, sleep deprivation and loneliness. “I didn't get much sleep last night. I'm nervous and a little overwhelmed,” he said. He's not the only one who's a little nervous about the trip. “My mom's thinking of everything to give me, what if you want this, what if you want that. It's like, I don't need a third frying pan,” he laughed. “She's getting a bit excessive, but she just wants me to be prepared so it's good.” He said he would have a least a few comforts as he had packed lots of food, a small stove and the boat's autopilot would allow him to get some sleep. Macpherson said he's writing names of those who have battled or are battling cancer on a flag that he'll be taking along. He said when he wrote the name of grandfather down, it really hit home how important actions like this are to fighting cancer. “As soon as I wrote down in loving memory of my grandfather it brought a tear to me and my dad's eye,” he said. Macpherson said it feels good to have been able to contribute to the cause with Sail For a Cure and said he hoped it would inspire others to take on a challenge in support of cancer research. “You can do anything to raise money for cancer,” he said. “Hopefully I've inspired someone somewhere

Residents to be responsible for maintenance of lanes Bylaw imposes property standards to ensure safe delivery of emergency services Chad Ibbotson StAff writer

Council voted on Tuesday to hold residents who own private roads or lanes responsible for a standard of maintenance that will allow municipal emergency services greater ease of access. A report dated Aug. 16 says the municipality's unique road system presents many challenges for the delivery of emergency services. The motion passed on Tuesday sets out the standard to which the private roadways must be maintained in order to receive emergency services. “Noncompliance with respect to this bylaw may result in the delay of emergency services,” the report

says. The bylaw holds owners of private roadways responsible for any damages caused to emergency service vehicles. Police and fire services can also refuse service if private roadways aren't accessible or safe enough to navigate with emergency vehicles. The report says the topic was raised at the behest of the municipal fire department. “While conducting a risk assessment of the fire department’s responsibilities it was identified that there are a number of seasonal and permanent residences with restricted access due to improper construction and or maintenance on private roadways,” the report says. “Examples of restrictions are road width, overhead clearance from trees, electrical wires, dramatic changes in grade elevations as well as snow and other obstructions which could prevent emergency vehicles from gaining access or providing timely responses in the case of an emer-

gency.” Response times are critical in times of emergency, but in some areas of the county that time is already increased due to geographical location of the property. Obstructed and narrow lanes only exacerbate the problem, the report says. “The emergency provider can only provide needed services to our residents if they can reach the emergency with the proper equipment in a timely manner,” the report says. Under the new bylaw private roads or lanes must have a clear width of no less than six metres, unless a lesser width is deemed satisfactory. Lanes must also have an overhead clearance of no less than five metres. Any dead-end lane or road that exceeds 90 metres in length from a public roadway must have a turnaround. Private lanes or roads cannot have a change in gradient more than one in 12.5 over a minimum distance of 15 metres. They must also be designed to support the expected weight of emergency vehicles and be surfaced with material designed to permit

access in all seasons. Any bridges along the lanes must follow those same guidelines. Private roads must also be free of pot holes, snow and ice or any foreign debris. The report says, “private roads that provide access to more than one property cannot be obstructed by a fence or other mechanism that may impede through traffic.” In the event that the fence is removed by emergency services to gain access, the service providers will not be held liable for any damages, the report says. “The fire department recognizes that some property owners for reasons of property privacy or aesthetics may chose not to remove restrictions or obstructions, however, the fire department respectfully recommends implementation of this bylaw to ensure these owners are informed that these restrictions or obstructions could impede or restrict response capabilities to the emergency, thus jeopardizing their safety and property,” the report says.

Safe skaters and riders rewarded at youth park Several County Youth Park users remembering to wear their helmets were treated to passes for more entertainment this week. Through a partnership with between the Hastings and Prince Edward Counties Health Unit and the Recreation Outreach Centre, a number of passes to the Regent Theatre and the Prince Edward Fitness and Aquatics Centre were handed out. Public health nurse Cind Kirkpatrick said it is important people learn about the severity of brain injuries and note that they can occur fairly easily. She

pointed out the human skull is only one centimetre thick. “Head injuries are the most serious type of injury,” said Kirkpatrick. “A head injury could affect a child’s movement, learning abilities, thinking skills, behaviour, vision and speech.” Those who weren’t wearing helmets this week were encouraged to enter a draw inside the skatepark’s clubhouse to win one of two multi-sport helmets provided by Ideal Bike. -Adam Bramburger, Staff

They were often whimsical, colourful, even ridiculous to look at, but practically every piece of folk art the late Terry Williams created made a statement. Some were political commentaries, while others pointed out life’s foibles and inequities. Last fall, during his final Prince Edward County Studio Tour, Williams said his art is “trying to see life through a different set of eyes.” Because Williams had that sort of empathy, his final 38 pieces will make an additional statement in helping Alternatives For Women in Prince Edward County assist vulnerable women have fresh starts away from abusive relationships. Those 38 remaining pieces when Williams succumbed to cancer last May were taken to the the Arts on Main Gallery, a collective he was instrumental in starting more than five years ago, to be sold.

■ Farmers in Athol Township were on edge after S.P. Dodds reported an overnight attack on a flock of sheep he believed was caused by dogs running wild at night. Two sheep were kiled in the attack, and another two were beaten and mauled. The predators apparently returned to the site the following day, eluding a gunman watching the fock. ■ Nelson Miller appeared in court Monday after police alleged he shot at two constables Friday evening. The police officers arrived after Miller’s wife complained of poor treatment at his hands. He threatened to shoot, fired and missed, and vanished into the woods. Miller was arrested without incident two days later. ■ George Barr, Ontario’s director of dairying visited the county for the first time in more than a year and let impressed by the condition of local cheese factories.

■ Canada’s “Mr. Outboard Racing” frank Ardron announced that Picton would be the site of the 1962 Canadian Boating Federation convention, with the Royal Hotel acting as the headquarters for the two-day event to be held that October. ■ Some 500 people enjoyed a halfchicken barbecue presented by the Prince Edward County Junior Farmers. Future Canadian agriculture minister Lyle Vanclief presided over a short program, which included a celebration of Prince Edward’s first trophy for “best all-round county” at the Quinte District Field Day in Peterborough earlier that year. ■ A family residing at 42 Elizabeth Street made an interesting discovery. What the McCrimmons thought was a fossilized turtle shell was researcher Dr. Usher discovered was a very rare trilobite of the crayfish family. The fossil was placed on display at a museum at Queen’s University.

■ Ontario Liberal leader David Peterson met with community leaders at Picton’s Fireside Inn as part of a tour to reach out to voters. Peterson said he did not have any instant solution for the county’s sagging economy, though he suggested the fishing industry would be an area to explore, both in terms of tourism and sport and the growth of the commercial fishery on Lake Ontario. ■ A special ceremony was held to mark the restoration of an 1854 one manual seven rank organ. The organ, located at the former St. Mary Magdalene Church, a county museum, was restored by Acton’s George Elliott to playable condition. It was the second organ used in that church, but had been rendered silent since the early 1900s due to deterioration. ■ Researcher Ted Rose gave a presentation to Rotarians on the Marysburgh Vortex, an area with a peculiar magnetic pull similar to that of the Bermuda Triangle.

Fall is not the time for new birders to start hobby

It has been a noisy several weeks in our backyard. First it was the blue jays who brought their young to our feeder, day after day, raspy voices begging for food as the parent birds escorted them around the lawn. This week it has been a couple juvenile hairy woodpeckers who constantly bicker back and forth at the peanut feeder, rarely taking time to actually eat as they shuffle around the circular feeder, never really agreeing where either of them should eat. Strangely, they arrive in the yard every morning, together. The young Baltimore orioles have all but stopped calling now. I can’t remember how many years ago it was when I first determined that the strange sounds filtering through the thick foliage of our elms on the farm actually belonged to the young orioles begging for food. I do know their identity was a mystery for many years, before catching sight of a parent bird responding to the peculiar calls. The drab greyish-yellow birds resembled orioles in profile only; certainly their voice was nothing like the rich sounds that readily identified this species. It is a confusing time of the year right now when the young of the year of many species are out and about, augmented by the arrival of fall migrants in drab fall plumage, and even the parents of local birds slipping into an autumn attire. Bird identity can be a tricky affair, and is the reason why reports of stragglers, rar-

ities, waifs, accidentals, strays, vagrants — whatever you wish to call new species on an official checklist - must go through a rigorous process before they are accepted on the list of local sightings. The Ontario Field Ornithologists, and even many naturalist clubs, for example, have committees of several knowledgeable birders, who meet periodically to discuss rare sightings that have turned up in their area. Written reports, photographic evidence and taped songs are all assessed, and a decision rendered whether or not to accept the sighting. I insist on much the same procedure whenever a newcomer is entered on the Prince Edward County official bird list, for it is necessary to ensure accuracy in all identifications. Its 351 species have all been confirmed and are supported with plenty of evidence. One of the big problems with bird identity is that iden-

tification of a species sometimes involves far more than what many local bird guides are able to offer. Most guides today, at least, give clear descriptions and colour plates or photographs of male and female, and for some families, confusing fall plumages. But the process of identity can be complicated by juvenile and immature plumages (there is a difference between the two terms), some of which aren’t even covered by many bird guides. The new Sibley Field Guide does a pretty fair job in sorting through the mess, but as many bird banders know, it sometimes takes a "bird in the hand" approach to individually check their feathers and establish an identity. Male spring warblers are a cinch when in full breeding plumage; it becomes whole new ball game though when the fall migration gets underway, and there may be numerous species that look alike, mixed in with the juveniles of the year. Thankfully, hybrids are not common among birds, although they do occur, even between blackheaded grosbeaks and rosebreasted grosbeaks where their ranges overlap. Goldenwinged warblers and bluewinged warblers can produce Brewster’s warblers and Lawrence’s warblers. Black ducks and mallards hybridize, so do a few other species. Among birds there are dark and light forms, colour morphs, and variants. Let’s not forget albinos and those with just traces of albinism, and leucistic birds. Some

ran into the store a short time later to tell her a man parked beside the car and asked if she wanted to go for a ride with him. The complainant checked the parking lot for the suspect’s beige Chevrolet pick-up truck, but it was nowhere to be found. On Thursday, at about 10:30 a.m. a man acting oddly in a Main Street store concerned a parent enough to report him to

the OPP. When the complainant’s 10-year-old daughter was alone, he asked if she was “taking care of the store herself,” then appeared to watch the girl as she walked away and back to her mother. He continued to watch them in the store. The suspect from that incident, who matches a similar description from the previous one, police say, is an older white

OUTDOOR RAMBLES TERRY SPRAGUE

birds can take on unbelievable changes during a period of 12 months. The fall sparrow-like coat of the yellowrumped warbler is quite different from the brilliant plumage of the male in May. Others never seem to change their clothes, 12 months of the year. To add to the difficulties, some species take more than a year to merge into their adult plumage. Some are capable of breeding during the intermediate stages, and some are not. Orchard orioles take more than two years before they acquire the sleek plumage of the adult male. Some species of gulls wait three years for their adult plumage, the same individuals wearing a different garb each year. Bald eagles may take five years before we see the contrasting black and whites of the adult. I will be offering a sixweek bird identification course At Belleville’s Quinte Conservation, commencing in early November. If you think you might be interested in such a course, let me know. For almost 20 years, I have been teaching this course throughout eastern Ontario, and have also run sessions in past years in Picton, Napanee and Kingston.

OPP on the lookout for suspicious male after children approached

Following a pair of incidents in downtown Picton last week, Prince Edward OPP are on the lookout for a suspicious male suspect. Police say on Sunday, Aug. 19, a woman was shopping at a Main Street grocery store and had left her eight-year-old daughter alone in the car while she picked up groceries. The woman reported her daughter

male, possibly in his 60s, standing 5’9 with a tanned complexion, grey hair and teeth in bad condition. Some teeth were reported missing. He also reportedly wore a baseball cap. Those with information can call the OPP at 613-4762151 or Crime Stoppers at 1800-222-8477. -Staff

STUDENTS and teachers in schools across Prince Edward County and Ontario are preparing to head back to school in the next week, though many aren’t sure what climate to expect when they get there. This week, 5,000 of those teachers were on the lawn at Queen’s Park protesting legislation brought forward by the McGuinty government to freeze teachers’ wages for two years, force them to take unpaid days off work, and to curtail the number of sick days teachers can take and the amount they can bank for retirement in not taking those days. The teachers are concerned, and rightly so, that the government is attempting to legislate away their right to collectively bargain for a new deal, but realistically there must be a line drawn in the sand that this government cannot afford most of the cost it has now, not only in education, but also in many other stripes of the public service. Given the government’s history at the negotiation table, it isn’t likely they would have received the concessions necessary to put the financial books in order through negotiations and with the school year starting, those teaching groups without new contracts would see their current contracts roll over for another year with pay grids still advancing. Over the years, the McGuinty government took the easy route with teachers and most unions, but now it appears the jig is up. The choices it had were to force this issue now, enter into negotiations that likely will not produce the desired savings, or try to find savings in other areas of the budget — perhaps costly Liberal pilot projects such as full-day kindergarten, the LHINS, or its green energy schemes. Surely, the Liberals will feel some backlash from the teachers — perhaps come next election day, just as the NDP did after the social contract and the infamous Rae Days in the early 1990s — but there might be just enough short-term gain now if they can convince enough members of the public they’re taking a hard line to be able to get a grip on a Queen’s Park majority in the upcoming byelections. That has to be the end goal, because it will just become more challenging for the Liberals to hold onto their base and earn power in the years ahead. Even before the students return to the classroom, there has been a lesson in economics presented here and that lesson is that one cannot keep increasing spending without a ceiling imposed by the market. The rising salaries and benefits were good while they flowed and the harmony between teachers and the province was certainly welcomed after the Harris years, but the provincial debt was not a new beast. More caution might have prevented a stalemate like this one from occurring. Make no mistake, Ontario’s teachers take on one of the most important and difficult jobs and they do it well, but they have to know many struggle to find work and many of the taxpayers paying them to educate aren’t receiving the same perks. They deserve to negotiate for a contract to work, just as any other worker, but they, too, must acknowledge the financial crunch and sharpen their pencils to make a stronger Ontario for themselves and the youth they mentor.

As children get back to school and we get back to regular routines, now is the ideal time to look at working into our schedules the free fun learning opportunities your library offers. In addition to access to a varied selection of technology related programs, there are also clubs to join, children’s Saturday morning activities, classes for seniors, and opportunities to attend one-day workshops as well. New this year in the technology category are workshops on using tablets such as the Blackberry PlayBook and iPad, how to sell crafts online using Etsy, investigating social networking sites, and blogging to name a few. Regular six-week beginner computer courses return as well. In the non-electronic offerings, we have a new Stitch and Chat Club for both beginner and advance knitters at the Milford library, a Photography workshop in Picton, a DIY Christmas Gifts workshop at the Bloomfield branch, You-Can-Do-It sustainable living workshops and much more. Events for seniors include monthly tea and talks with guest speakers, and a new chair-based fitness program called FUNctional Fitness beginning on Sept. 20 at the Picton branch. For children, there is a four-week Saturday morning “Crafts & Build-it!”program being offered at the Consecon branch, and children’s dance parties at both the Picton and Wellington branches. Also at the Wellington branch, an after school lego club begins Sept. 13 at 4p.m. A series of four after school literary-themed tea parties for young people is planned for the Bloomfield branch library. Comic book lovers will want to check out the comic book club beginning in October. Ongoing book clubs and French clubs continue as well, with a new French club planned for absolute beginners at the Consecon branch. Special events, such as concerts and author book launches, are also part of the mix. Upcoming special events include, on Saturday, Sept. 8 at 2 p.m. at the Wellington branch, a free family friendly concert by Ottawa based musician and songwriter Sjef Frenken.

company, wpd, came to town earlier this year, the company president was forced to admit that he had never heard of Wolfe Island, didn't know where it was or why it was significant to the industrial wind industry. Wolfe Island industrial wind turbines have the highest bird kill in Canada and the second highest in North America. This kill rate of 13.4 birds per turbine is "shockingly high", according to Ted Chesky of Nature Canada. The industry average is about two birds per turbine. The wpd ad, which pretends that birds and industrial wind turbines can co-exist, shows a Eurasian tree sparrow, native to Europe and Asia. In Europe, the industrial wind turbine

veloped. In Europe, the Eurasian tree sparrow is in serious decline. Incidentally, the Eurasian tree sparrow is not native to North America. It was introduced in 1870, didn't thrive and today is found almost exclusively around St. Louis, Missouri. Yet wpd chose this bird an ad in Picton, proving once again how little wpd knows about birds. The wpd ad claims that "strong government regulations and monitoring is minimizing the impact on local birds". Not so. Ontario government regulations permit a bird kill which is even higher than Wolfe Island. That is, higher than the highest bird kill in Canada and the second-highest in North America. That can

government regulation". And monitoring does nothing to protect birds unless it is coupled with action. Look at Wolfe Island. On at least 37 occasions, monitoring on Wolfe Island showed a bird kill so high that the turbines should have been angled or switched off to prevent further damage to birds. The number of occasions when this actually happened: zero. And the impact on local birds? Red-tailed hawks in the area of Wolfe Island industrial wind turbines have been completely wiped out by the turbines. So have at least 10% of the local osprey. Local aerial foragers - that is, birds which hunt for mosquitoes and other insects while flying -- have been particularly hard hit.

used to winter in the area of the turbines, can no longer be found there. They are a species of concern under the Endangered Species Act. The wpd ad purposefully ignores migratory birds, which are at even higher risk from industrial wind turbines. wpd's ad proves that when it comes to industrial wind turbines and birds, the company has a lot to learn. A company so ignorant birds and the effect of wind turbines on birds -- a basic concern about the industry -- should not be allowed to build an industrial wind factory in the rich bird habitat of Prince Edward County.

Impending threats aren’t always what they appear to be

It would seem "the meat and potatoes" of our paper may mean more than stories of wars and greed. There are a couple tell tale signs of what the author is saying near the end of her letter. "Wake up and pay attention to what is coming up for humanity and our planet....like global purification in which case one needs to prepare for change by embracing awareness." These are terms being batted around by the New Age movement and the coming 2012 way of thinking. A time when aliens will come to man claiming divinity and a chance for mankind to"ascend" to a new state. You may remember the

Heavens Gate cult that believed something along these lines a few years ago. The idea that the Myan calendar just stops added to an increased UFO presence have allowed this train of thought to invade into the very fabric of this generation. What you need to understand before packing your bags is this... scientists and many other groups, after having studied the UFO phenomena, have come to the conclusion that these "things" are not what they appear to be. Before we had an understanding of the universe, they channeled information from Mars or Venus. Today they come from places we can not see with out technol-

ogy. Many claim a smell of sulphur and a feeling of terror when seeing these " visitors". The Bible says there is nothing new under the sun. As in the time of Noah when the fallen angels came and deceived the world, so it will be again. It was gods then. In Victorian times, it was fairies. And in our space age, would it not be some manner of space creature. The word of God has fallen from favour these days for many, yet it still amazes even skeptics at the accuracy of prophecy. It seems funny that all these "space" entities all have a common thread. That common thread is the attacks on God, Jesus, and

the crucifixion. Why would Jesus matter so much to such an enlightened being? Why is it so important to them that Jesus be removed and denied? YouTube has many videos that can explain this by better than me. Just one video you can find Is based on a book called "the Omega Solution" The link is as follows: http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=80FI5zM5ndo Please at least take the time to find out for yourselves, before you embrace something that is not exactly as it claims to be.

Dare to question claims about value of wind energy

The Canadian Wind Energy Association and wpd Canada would have us believe wind energy and the Green Energy Act will save the world. They play on our hope that this is true, and since we all want to be a part of the solution we wish it were true. They lobby and publish pro-wind statements with selected and questionable references, using expensive colour pamphlets or newspaper ads showcasing photographs of healthy, happy people. It looks so official, and not everyone has the time to research or question their references.

Most of us believed them at first. Even politicians took wind lobbyists’ word that the CO2 savings with wind would be substantial. Industrial wind turbines started sprouting up around Ontario. Then came the promise of jobs and economic development and the denial of human health concerns, harm to surrounding wildlife and surrounding property devaluation. Too good to be true? Should we believe everything we are told? History and facts show otherwise. We now know that most wind developer’s claims

come from the imaginations of promoters of wind energy, rather than from empirical evidence. Wind developers are not asked to prove the merits of their claims before, or after, their product is forced on the public and on our environment. We now know that promoting wind is a political agenda. It is not connected to true science based on real world data. What if the only true "Green" thing about wind energy is the subsidy money going into the pockets of private off-shore wind developers? wpd Canada is pushing

their way into Prince Edward County against the wishes of most residents here. Are we going to let them? Dare to question wpd Canada this evening at 5:30 pm at Prince Edward Collegiate Institute in Picton. This is their final public open house on the South Marysburgh project — our last chance to tell them what we think before they submit their wind project application to the Ontario government for final approval in Prince Edward County. Chris Hall North Marysburgh

Developer’s recent ad insulting to residents’ intelligence

Regarding”Living in harmony- Wind and Birds”, page 4, The Gazette, Aug. 23, 2012... Whatever happened to truth in advertising? wpd Canada’s ad in the Aug. 23 Gazette claims the company's industrial turbine mega-installation in South Marysburgh and the Important Birding Area along Prince Edward Point will minimize the impact on local birds.

Not only is wpd’s statement misleading, it misses the point: 1) Industrial wind turbines harm, maim and kill birds during their installation and operation; 2) birds and other species at risk will be placed in greater jeopardy by such development in their habitats ; 3) yes, local birds will be affected, but the ad’s statement demonstrates how

little wpd really understands about the effects of the project on the huge migratory population which makes Prince Edward Point a way station for birds that are not local and that visit in numbers greater than stream through Point Pelee. wpd’s ad insults the intelligence of South Marysburgh residents who rejected the industrial turbines in this part of the county in the recent vote.

What adds insult to such injury is that the ad used the image of a 'cute,' little bird that is neither local nor migratory here. A pocket of these European tree sparrows does exist in Michigan. I am told their numbers are in decline in Europe, where co-incidentally wind turbine farms have been established for some time. JC Sulzenko

Dog’s business becomes big business West Lake man’s poop solution goes national

Sometimes it pays to get outside of Prince Edward County and see how the rest of the world is living. Retired dairy farmer Dave McGee can testify to that as his invention is about to make a major splash on the market place this fall. The West Lake resident's product, The Auggie Dog, will launch in Wal-Marts across Canada at the end of 2012 and while it's been six years in the making, it appears this latest entry into the pet care market is about to make a splash if industry awards are any indication. The Auggie Dog is a nohands power stool tool that cleans up Fido's mess in the yard. Through a minor internet marketing campaign and word-of-mouth, McGee has sold units all over North America and sales are expected to pick once the unit is released for sale later this year. McGee came up with his product after dropping his youngest daughter Leah off at Guelph University in 2006. En route to Leah's residence, McGee passed a large dog park and noticed all of the dog owners with plastic bags in their hands. “Finally I asked Leah, why are they carrying plastic bags, is that for treats? I honestly thought it was and She looked at me and said 'You are kidding me, it's the law, you have to clean up after your dog',” McGee said. With 140 acres of West Lake farm land on which to roam, McGee imagined suddenly having to pick up after his black lab Seamus. “I thought, there's got to be a better way, I might not own a dog if I had to do that,” McGee laughed. With it being winter not much other then chores to be done at Twin Maple Farms, McGee began tinkering with an idea in the shop. “I got a piece of three- inch grain auger, cut it off, had my hired man weld a shaft on the end of it , encased it into a section of PVC pipe and put a cap on the end of it. I then connected the shaft to my power drill,” McGee said matter-of-factly. Some test trials on Seamus' droppings around the farm showed the concept could work and, with a crude prototype, the Auggie Dog was born. McGee thought he might be on to something but it wasn't until he watched an episode of the CBC's Dragon's Den that he got an inspiration to take the product to the next level. “They were talking about patents on the show and I thought, i better get on this,” McGee said. After much paper work and several applications through both the Canadian Intellectual Properties Office and the U.S. Patent office, the Auggie Dog was granted patent pending status in both countries. Recently, the U.S. branch granted McGee the patent and the Canadian department is expected to follow suit sometime soon. McGee took his design to Design Force in Richmond Hill where fabricator Scott Grant developed a prototype that could be mass produced. He has an agriculture

background and he told me before he saw the prototype that he's seen products like this before and they haven't had much success. He took one look at it and said 'This will work',” said McGee. A company in China took the prototype and after a few kinks and flaws were worked out, the Auggie Dog was ready to be mass produced. The version of the Auggie Dog available in some pet stores and locally at the County Farm Centre looks like a cane. “You can walk your dog with it, its just like a walking stick,” McGee explains. A light has been included in the top of the handle for those cold winter evenings when time is a factor. There's also a beeper for dog training and the unit has a self-enclosed rechargeable battery. When not in use, the unit is placed in a dock or cleaning station. “You never touch the business end of the Auggie Dog,” McGee said. The unit augers up the dog feces (For 100-pound Seamus, the unit could hold about between two and three 'messes') into the chamber and then augers it down when it comes time to dispose of the waste. McGee said the waste can go into a toilet to be flushed or into a compost or a trash receptacle. “And it's great for the environment. This eliminate the plastic bags that wind up in a landfill for the next 100 years,” McGee said. “And we did the math with the biodegradable bags and you can spend upwards of $60 annually on that route.” Once fido's business has been disposed of, the unit goes back into the cleaning station that's filled with cleaning solution McGee gets from a company in Kelowna.

“You auger up for five seconds, you auger down for five seconds and its clean and ready for the next usage,” he explains. To someone watching McGee demonstrate the unit, it seems simple yet effective. And that's exactly what organizers at the 2012 Global Pet Expo must have thought this past spring. The world's largest pet product trade show in Orlando was the scene where the product started to make serious in roads. “When i walked in there, it's 15 football fields in size and I thought, boy, I feel pretty small town and I was instantly second guessing myself,” McGee admitted. However, upon setting up his booth, members of the Wal-Mart Canada team walked by and were instantly intrigued by the product. “And since that' point, they've been great to work with,” McGee said.And the surprises kept coming as McGee's product won third place in the new products for dogs category. “I was stunned. There was all kinds of press and I was doing radio interviews, it was a whirlwind,” McGee said. And it could get even better for McGee as the pet industry in North America continues to grow by six-toseven per cent annually. “There's an estimated 78 million dogs in America today,” McGee said. It's taken McGee six years to get the Auggie Dog to this point — a road that's had its ups and downs. “I keep telling myself it's like I've planted a crop. The seeds been put in the ground, it's been fertilized and now it's time to stand back and watch it grow,” he said. To see find out more about the Auggie Dog visit auggiedog.com.

Sheep club wraps up year with ram and lamb show

Reaching for Rainbows is an after-school play program, designed to build confidence and encourage good decision-making and conflict resolution skills in 24 little girls, aged 6 to 8.

Achievement day doubles as fundraiser for cardiac rehab Jason Parks

StAFF writEr

The Prince Edward 4-H sheep club held their year end show and sale at Jeff and Angel Gilbert's Maine Door Farm in Sophiasburgh on Sunday. The annual achievement day show in which all members participate in order to achieve their credit for the year also served as a fundraiser for the Prince Edward Cattlemen's efforts in supporting the Prince Edward Family Health Team's cardiac rehabilitation program. Linda Swain of Rose Haven Farm Store in Picton served as show judge with the help of Taylor Cole, ring steward and auctioneer for the Ram Lamb Show and Sale was Creighton Carr. The ram show and sale was a new component this year as four senior members each raised a ram to market weight to be auctioned off the day of the show. The proceeds from this sale were donated to the Prince Edward Cattlemen's cardiac rehabilitation program care clinic fund raising efforts. The grand champion showperson was Kaitlyn Bell and reserve showper-

Some guidelines for pruning your hydrangea plants

Editor’s note: A portion of this column was omitted in last week’s Gazette. The text is published herein in its entirety.

kssshops Workshops W Wor ork or k hops h ops

At a recent garden party, I was asked someone why one of her hydrangea plants does not bloom. It has big beautiful leaves each year but no blossoms. There are two categories of hydrangeas and it pays to know which category your hydrangea falls into because the pruning requirements are different for each. Some hydrangeas bloom on old wood; last year’s growth and others bloom on new wood;

the current year’s growth. Hydrangeas that bloom on old wood are the bigleaf and oakleaf hydrangeas, Hydrangea macrophylla, Hydrangea serrate and Hydrangea quercifolia. These plants set their buds for the following year in late summer and early fall. If they are pruned anytime past late July or the beginning of August, all blooms for next year will be pruned away. That was the case with my friend’s hydrangea. She was dutifully pruning this shrub back in late winter or early spring. You might want to deadhead the fading blos-

or a smooth hydrangea that blooms on new wood and if it is brown further down the stem, you have a bigleaf or oakleaf that blooms on old wood. Another word about pruning in general; pruning encourages growth and late summer growth will not have sufficient time to harden off making it susceptible to winter kill. Continue to deadhead annuals and perennials and remove parts of plants that are dead, diseased, damaged or dangerous. But, generally speaking, you can clean up your pruners and put them away for a couple of months.

soms and that is fine but don’t cut down into the stems after very early August. Just remove the blossoms no further down than the next set of leaves. Hydrangeas that bloom on new wood are the panicle and the smooth hydrangeas, hydrangea paniculata and hydrangea arborescens. These plants should be pruned in late winter or early spring. Included in this category is the re-blooming Endless Summer which can be pruned all summer long and will continue to produce new blooms. If you are uncertain of which types you have in your garden, pay attention to the time that they bloom. The bigleaf and oakleaf plants, which include lacecaps and mopheads, bloom in the early summer and then peter out by mid-summer. The panicle and smooth hydrangeas bloom a bit later and hold their bloom colour into the fall. These include ‘Annabelle’, ‘Peegee’, ‘Grandiflora’, ‘Limelight’ and others. Hold a blossom and then look down its stem. If it is green all the way to the ground, you have a panicle

It was another successful year for the Wilf Harrison Memorial Charity Golf Tournament. The Rotary Club of Picton held its 23rd annual tournament on Friday at Picton Golf and Country Club in support of the Prince Edward Memorial Hospital Foundation and many other community causes that the club contributes to throughout the year. Event chair Chris Skinner said this year's tournament enjoyed a full field of 129 golfers. He said organizers had a goal of raising $18,000 for Rotary initiatives, but he said he hoped the final tally would be closer to $20,000. Last year the tournament brought in almost $19,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the largest fundraiser for the Rotary Club of Picton,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This the highest turnout we've had in a number of years for this event.â&#x20AC;? He said the club had committed to donating $5,000 to the hospital foundation but, depending on the proceeds, there could be an additional contribution. Skinner said the hospital foundation is one of the biggest benefactors of the tournament, but he said by no means is it the only one. Since 1989 the tournament

He said the community support this year and in the past has always greatly contributed to the success of the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a lot of companies that have provided us with prizes for auction,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had an outstanding list of prizes this year and that comes from 23 years that this tournament has been going on and it's a huge event and a lot of people recognize that.â&#x20AC;? Weather was about the only thing that could have put a damper on the event, but luckily things went the golfers' way Skinner said. It was a scorching, yet beautiful day on the links. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We lucked out today. We look forward to that and we hoped we were going to have the weather to support us and we did again today,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It helped bring out a full field.

“I’m not from the county originally and (volunteering) is the best way to get to know the neighbourhood and the area. It just seems natural.” Arsenault celebrated the award with her husband Dr. Michael Shannon and daughter Katie Thursday. She said it was a fitting way to earn her award, sharing it with the other recipients and learning what they have done to make a difference in their own communities. She said the recipients were not informed who nominated them to receive the Diamond Jubilee medals. Another fascinating thing on a personal note, Arsenault said, was to receive a British award, while still celebrating her Acadian heritage, a metaphor for the way the Acadians and Canadians of all stripes have been able to get past such differences to work together. Though she wasn’t able to attend the ceremony, Wood was honoured for her efforts as a founding mem-

ber of the Prince Edward County Field Naturalists, a women’s rights activist, and a long-serving library volunteer. Wood told the Gazette she felt the award was more of a shared accolade for the work the Field Naturalists have done and continue to do. “It was quite a surprise. I never expected it,” she said. “I feel this is recognition for the Prince Edward County Field Naturalists and all the work we have done.” Wood said she and Terry Sprague started the organization with an eye on maintaining the natural beauty present in this municipality. “We were trying to look after the natural features of the county — what makes this county special,” she said. “We feel we have at least educated people and more know better how to preserve the land.” Wood said it would be nice if the recognition provided through the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal would give more people a chance to become familiar with the Field Naturalists. Meanwhile, Wood will continue to work on an important cause. “The south shore is a very special place, it has to be saved from development,” she said. Meanwhile, Mattis, a Hillier native, was recognized for a wide range of volunteer activities. In a bio Smith read while presenting the award, he revealed that Mattis had been involved with the humane society, Prince Edward County

TODD SMITH

Minor Hockey, and the Royal Canadian Legion. Mattis has served as a scout leader and a foster parent, with Smith saying he’s had up to 14 children placed with him at a time. “He deserves a medal for that,” Smith said. Mattis, 83, called the event “a highlight of my life.” He said he and his wife Bertha began volunteering in the 1950s. At that time,there was no limit on the number of foster children who could be placed in a house. He had 14 in his house at a rate of $1 a child a day. “The money wasn’t important, we just enjoyed having children in our home,” he said. Mattis said when he and Bertha had a restaurant in Wellington, they also took great joy in bringing free meals to seniors who couldn’t get out of their homes. Mattis said he and his wife both have a soft spot for animals and children, so volunteering was an outlet that made sense. They still volunteer almost daily at

the Loyalist Humane Society. Mattis said he also hasn’t learned who nominated him, but he wanted to thank him. “I appreciate it. This is the most wonderful thing,” he said. “Whoever thought I’d receive the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal in my lifetime. I never expected I’d see something like this.” Among the other volunteers recognized were: Cindy Brant, the Stirling Hockeyville organizer; Belleville musician Andy Forgie; Marmora SnoFest organizer Richard Lowrey; Pauline Ramsbottom and Joy Husak, who volunteer at a seniors community centre in Mayo, near Bancroft; Harry Latta, a Belleville minor hockey volunteer for more than 30 years; Bert Moore, a volunteer of more than 55 years for a wide range of organizations; Rick Watt, the chair of Operation Red Nose; Bancroft area politician and recreational organizer Larry McTaggert; and Susan Catherwood, a volunteer with community outreach meal progarms and a volunteer performer at the pediatric ward of the Belleville hospital. The medallion, which hangs on a red ribbon bordered in blue with two white stripes in the middle features the Queen’s diamond insignia to mark this year’s anniversary on one side, with an image of Elizabeth II on the other side. Smith indicated that MP Daryl Kramp would be presenting more Diamond Jubilee medals this fall in a separate ceremony.

New building at Atorkor centre nearing completion Hall seeks hand tools to help teach 150 more students trades

COWBOY BURGERS

Staff writer

The return on the initial investment Prince Edward County residents made to set up a vocational training centre in Ghana will soon multiply with an additional 150-200 students benefitting. Peta Hall, the director of the Atorkor Vocational Centre, has returned to the county to meet with supporters and detail the progress being made toward opening a second building. The first building in the centre, which was funded entirely by county residents was completed last year, and has been used to instruct about 80 students in arts like dressmaking, traditional batikmaking and fibre arts, as well as computer studies and administration. Hall said the centre ,which was designed by Picton architect Brian Clark and built primarily by villagers has had a tremendous impact on the youth within the coastal village. "There have been great changes in the attitudes of the young people, in how much more alive and energized they are because they know they have a future," said Hall. "The young people are now getting more involved with community life and helping around the village. They're very involved in school life. Every single student is involved in some committee or otherwise, keeping the classrooms clean, doing the landscaping, helping in the library... whatever." The government of Ghana has been an active partner in the project and it has provided funding to move forward with the second building, which Hall said is virtually complete now. It will provide opportunities for more villagers to train, specifically the males. "Phase 2 is double the size of Phase 1. It will house welding, carpentry, masonry, and electrical installation. That will pick up the men," Hall said, adding she hopes it will open in January. For the 150-200 new students ready to take up residence in the new building and the existing students, the centre provides a step toward opportunities many of the people never dreamed — either in providing a career to use as a livelihood, or a way to raise money for further training. "It's made a huge difference to the people who are there," Hall said. "For many of them, their parents couldn't afford to educate them after primary school, so many of them never had an opportunity to finish their education. Therefore they've got no skills training — nothing." Hall said the facility is accredited by the national training institute, so it will provide certificates of accreditation that are recognized across the African country. For some, like one young woman Hall says aspires to be a nurse, the crafts they learn will help them finance further studies in the fields of their choice upon graduation come 2013. While the physical structure of the second building has been funded by government and will be commissioned by the Minister of

Youth and Sport next month, Hall and her fellow board members with the Atorkor Development Foundation still must outfit the facility before they can bring students in to learn. That's part of why Hall, a well-known artisan, is back in the county. "I have a very long shopping list," she said. Hall indicated that tools are needed for the workshops inside the school. To that end, she's worked with local hardware stores including the Home Hardware locations in Picton and Wellington, Picton Canadian Tire, and Evans Lumber to have tool drop-off bins. "We're looking for hand tools, but not power tools because of the voltage differences," she said. "Hammers, tape measures, levels. We need gently used ones or new ones." Hall said she's also trying to raise money directly to help pay for some for furnishings in the new building as well as some heavy equipment and power tools that will be bought in Ghana. To help with that process, Hall is hosting what she calls a "fun evening with a serious purpose" Sept. 12 at 7:30 p.m. at the waterside pavilion at Lake on the Mountain. She will give an update on the

building process and show photos of the construction and of classes in process. There will be opportunities to buy bursaries to help young people study at the centre for a year, to buy tools to donate to the cause, or to buy some goods Hall brought back from Ghana. Hall said donors will see

their names engraved on a recognition wall in the new building similar to the one placed in the initial training centre. She also thanked county Rotarians for spearheading fundraising efforts involving other Canadian clubs.

OJHL stars, prospects to face rivals from Ottawa area, Quebec leagues

Hard work nets Pirates pair of wins

Dukes to host Central Canada Cup all-star competitions

Picton playing structured system early in preseason

JASON PARkS

Staff writer

There will be no lack of junior a hockey action over the 2012 Christmas break, at least not in Prince Edward County. The Ontario Junior Hockey League announced this week the Wellington Dukes will host the second annual Central Canada Cup All-Star Challenge Dec. 2730, 2012. The four-day showcase tournament pits four all-star teams from the OJHL, two teams from the Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL) and a pair of teams from the Quebec Junior ‘AAA’ Hockey League (QJAAAHL) and also includes a top prospects game of young Jr. A stars. Wellington Dukes coach and general manager Marty Abrams said in a news release that the organization was honoured to have been selected to host the tournament. “We are honoured that the Wellington Dukes and the County of Prince Edward, are the first OJHL member club to host the Central Canada Cup,” said Dukes general manager and head coach Marty Abrams. “The tournament organizing committee, led by our community events manager Jennifer Cobb, will work nonstop to ensure the event is something that the OJHL, the Dukes and our fans will be proud of. We believe the foundation is in place; a great facility, tremendous fan support and a strong sense of community spirit; that will propel the 2nd Annual Central Canada Cup to great success.” Contacted Monday evening after the announcement was made, Abrams stressed the event was a huge bonus to the community and the Wellington and District Community Centre as opposed to the hockey club “It's not really a great benefit to the team. Our volunteers and game day staff usually get to enjoy a bit of break over Christmas but this is a great opportunity to show off the new building,” Abrams said. “There haven't been a lot of events held there yet and most of them have included us. This is a meaningful event, it will get some

people in the building and see what a great building the Essroc Centre is. Plus they will come and see that there's lots to do in Wellington and Prince Edward County, and maybe they will come back another time.” Due to the overwhelming success and popularity of last year’s tournament in Smith's Falls, organizers have agreed the same format will be used in 2012. The eight teams will be split into two divisions of four teams each, who will then play a unique roundrobin format that will see games consist of two 20 minute halves. Following the roundrobin portion of the event, the top two teams will play cross-over semi-final matchups with the two winners facing off in a full, three-period championship game. Another unique component to the event this year will be the addition of a Prospects Game between the OJHL and the CCHL. The full three period game will be played on the final day of competition (Dec. 30) prior to the Central Canada Cup championship game. “The Wellington Dukes have been one of the OJHL’s most successful franchises since joining the league in 1998-1999,” stated OJHL Commissioner Marty Savoy. “With the opening of the ‘New Duke Dome’ last year, it made complete sense that we would showcase Central Canada’s best Junior A talent at one of our league’s best new arenas. We look very forward to continuing to build upon the foundation that was set by the CCHL and the Smiths Falls Bears last season by providing an excellent scouting showcase for the players, as well as an entertaining product for the fans.”

With another two preseason wins under their belt, the Picton Pirates look to continue getting better and instill good work habits. The club took on the Clarington Eagles on Saturday night and the Amherstview Jets on Sunday evening in their latest exhibition contest, dispatching the Eagles 7–4 and grounding the Jets with a 6–2 score. Pirates coach and general manager Ryan Woodward said the effort was there for his club all weekend. “The boys worked very hard. You started to see guys really play with some structure and get a little bit of chemistry,” he said. The biggest reason the club has been able to achieve this level of success (three wins in four exhibition contests) has been the time the skaters have spent on the ice working on structure, Woodward said. “We're in pretty good shape right now. There are a lot of good players in our camp right now competing for spots,” he said. “I thought that we played as hard on the puck as we have in a long time on Sunday. The guys are just really taking pride in their work ethic and coming to the rink ready to play.” Saturday night's game against Clarington of the Central Ontario Junior C Hockey League was a chance for players to experience a game against an unfamiliar opponent.

Woodward said both clubs thought the it was a good opportunity for a fastpaced game. “It's nice to build that relationship with a team from the Central. We're going to make a return trip down there coming up in September,” Woodward said. “It's nice to play against players

you haven't seen very often and allow the guys an opportunity to play against somebody different.” Even though it's preseason Woodward said the ultimate goal remained the same, but the exhibition matches allows players an opportunity to adjust to systems and to playing at a

higher level. “You always want to win hockey games. It's good that the guys understand how to play the game, we've asked them to do certain things and structure is one of them,” Woodward said.

ing net minder for the NCAA Division I Titans soccer team. In three games this past week, Abolins posted her first two shutouts of the 2012 campaign after having eight total in 2011. The former Sophiasburgh Central School student made three saves in a 4-0 win over Canisius College and made a single save in a 3-0 blanking of Marygrove. Against the University of Michigan, she came up with five saves as a deflection off a Detroit defender resulted in a breakaway situation in which the Wolver-

Last season, the Centennial Secondary grad served as the Titan's co-captain and was named to both the AllHorizon League second team and the UDM athletic director's honour toll In her freshman season, Abolins was named to the Horizon League All-Newcomer Team as well as being named to the 2010 UDM athletic director's Honour Roll. Coming into the 2012 season, Abolins had 15 shutouts in 35 NCAA games.

Dukes pick up wins in first two contests against Voyageurs Wellington will face Kingston twice more Jason Parks

Staff writer

While preseason hockey can sometimes be a mundane affair, you would have a tough time convincing fans of the Wellington Dukes and Kingston Voyageurs after this past weekend. Just 120 minutes into the 2012-2013 Junior A hockey season and already these two longtime rivals are showing

their distaste for one another. Victims of circumstance because the Trenton Golden Hawks chose not to play either East Division rival in the preseason, the Vees and Dukes will hook up twice more prior to kicking off the regular season for real in midSeptember. And if the first two games are any indication of the last two games of this four-game exhibition set, these last pair of contest will be more than your average late-August yawner.

sion Friday night at home and a 5-3 road win on Sunday. Both games featured dust ups, a rare sight at any time of the season for Wellington faithful. Wellington Dukes coach and general manger Marty Abrams said the game was a great improvement from he ho-mum loss the club suffered last Tuesday at the hands of the visiting Cobourg Cougars. “There was more intensity and more jump from start to finish and it increased as the weekend went on If you look at it that way, that's a positive sign,” Abrams said.”We've inserted more veterans and the games have gotten better in terms of the pace.” And intensity. Cole Bolton doffed the mitts on Friday night while Jackson Howe and Josh Gervais got at it with a pair of willing partners on Sunday afternoon. “Guys are battling for jobs and you are going to get that sense of familiarity playing in a home and home series. It wasn't anything outlandish, it's guys trying to make their hockey teams,” Abrams said, adding the unwillingness of Trenton to take on either Kingston or Wellington in the preseason dictated a double home-and-home set. “We didn't really have an option, it's kind of a necessity that we have to play each other four times,” he said. On Friday, Wellington's

Wellington took both preseason games this past weekend and play another home-and-home series with the Vees starting tomorrow night. (Jason Parks/Gazette staff)

first three goals on Friday came off the sticks of freshmen forwards that will have to pick up some offensive slack with the departure of 2011-2012 OJHL leading goal scorer Darcy Murphy. In the game's early going, Mike Soucier got Wellington out to a 1-0 lead when he jammed home his first of the preseason at 2:29. Wellington extended that lead when former Alliston Hornet Cam Nicholl beat Kingston starter Daniel Potter at 16:42. The Dukes got the only goal of the second frame and it was a pretty one was Soucier spotted Parker Wood alone in the slot and Wood made no mistake slipping it past Vees reliever Craig Spencer. Wellington stretched their lead to 4-0 early in the final stanza when Austin Broadhurst managed to get a seeing eye shot through Spencer while the Dukes were enjoying a power play at the 36 second mark. Andrew Pearson relieved Hayden Lavinge partway through the contest and look to be guiding the combined

shutout bid home until Vees forward Brett Seney slipped past the Wellington defence and potted an unassisted marker at 10:10. On Sunday, Wellington again built an early lead but this time, Kingston mounted a comeback to threaten late and it took a pair of quick goals by captain Jan Kaminsky to hold of the Voyageurs. Dukes rookie Wyatt Cota scored early in the first and veterans Erick Delaurentis and Craig Campbell added second period goals to make it 3-0 Wellington after 40 minutes. Kingston got two of those goals back in the early in the third when Seney and Taylor Brown beat Wellington starter Marc Williams 1:06 apart. Kaminsky scored a pair of power play goals at 7:02 and 9:18, respectively to restore Wellington's three goal cushion. Abrams said the club will be relying on Kaminsky this season to add some offence to his already stellar defensive play and it appears he is off in the right direction. “Our job is to keep him healthy and refreshed and the season wears on,” Abrams said. “He takes on a lot roles with this team and that requires ice time and Jan can get worn down. We need to

make sure he's got the jump...he was one of the best player on the ice Sunday.” The Vees made it a little closer, beating Williams again with just under four minutes remaining but Wellington held the fort and got out of Kingston with a 5-3 decision. Abrams said he was very happy with the goaltending the club received this weekend. “The goaltending has been great. Both Pearson and Lavigne made the big saves when they had to Friday night and I was really pleased with Andrew being on top of his crease,” Abrams said. Williams was solid on Sunday and helped kill off a Kingston 5-on-3 advantage in the second that could have turned the game in the Vees favour. “He was instrumental in that penalty kill,” Abrams said. “We've got a real tough decision, got three goalies and only two can stay.” Wellington hosts Kingston in their final tune up game at home this Friday at 7:30 p.m. The Dukes are on the road to finish off their preseason slate, visiting the Vees Sunday at 3 p.m. and the Cobourg Cougars on Tuesday at 7 p.m.

OBITUARY

John Fraser Pearsoll

John Pearsoll passed away suddenly but peacefully on March 28th, 2010, in his 75th year, at his home in Pembrooke Pines, Florida. He was born in the old Prince Edward County Hospital on Hill Street in Picton, Ontario, October 15th, 1935 to Keith Orman Pearsoll and Margaret Helen Fraser. John grew up in Prince Edward County but resided in Florida for most of his adult life. He lived the first 5 years of his life on a farm on the Bloomfield Road just outside of Picton. At the age of 5 the family switched homes with his grandfather Burton Pearsoll and moved to Bloomfield where John started school at Bloomfield Public School. When he was 9 the family to a house on Picton’s Main Street. His mother, a Picton girl, yearned to be living back in town amongst family and friends. A year later the family purchased Dr. Goodwin’s house at 78 King Street. Growing up he attended the Mary Street Public School and the old Picton Collegiate Institute which burned down requiring him to take his seniour year in the Armouries. However, between sports, dating and working part-time, school was the least of his concerns. Louie Garrison and John played as imports on the Wellington Dukes hockey team. He played hardball on the diamond in front of the grandstand at the Fairgrounds. Bowled on a number of championship teams at Tommy Kostoff’s Bowling Academy where one night he almost bowled a perfect game – 9 strikes in a row and a spare in the 10th frame. The old bowling alley was a “hoppin” that night. Around Bailey’s poolroom he was considered a “shark”. Then there was the Outlet Beach in the summertime with dancing at the Palace of the Moon, Martin’s Outlet Park, Hare’s Arena and Lake on the Mountain. He somehow even found time to play the trumpet in the town’s I.O.O.F. band. To earn spending money he worked at various times for G.E. Fraser and Sons (his grandfather’s department store), Maher Shoe store and Eaton’s. On Tuesday and Friday nights, John and his sister Ann ran a snack bar at their Uncle Ross Pearsoll’s auction barn. At the end of the night John helped with the counting and loading onto the trucks of the sheep, pigs and cows that his father, a drover, had purchased that night to be shipped to Canada Packers in Toronto. After graduating from high school, his uncle Dayton Wark, the manager of the Royal Hotel offered him a job as a waiter in the dining room. Despite the fun times and excellent tips he couldn’t shake the urge to see Florida. After working Harvey McFarland Jr’s wedding reception he was off, catching a ride with Don Andrews who was then a traveling paint and wallpaper salesman in the southern United States. He was able to land a job in Miami with Genuine Parts Co. (NAPA) loading and unloading boxes of auto and truck parts in their large warehouse. How he survived that first summer in Miami he never knew. That was before there was air-conditioning. However, he was young, ambitious and a hard worker and he gradually began moving up the ranks eventually becoming Genuine Parts #2 man in the south Florida/Caribbean region. In the meantime he made friends, met a local Miami girl at work – Jackie Parnell, got married in Folkston, Georgia and had 3 children, Julie, Janet and John Jr. Just as he was about to achieve a major ambition – being appointed President of the Sacramento, California warehouse – family life intervened! After a difficult delivery, they lost a child and as is often the case in a family tragedy – divorce ensued. John was left with 3 children to raise, the youngest being 2 years old. To free up more time for his family he took on the job of being an outside salesman servicing garages and large trucking, bus and construction companies. He had tried this job before in his early 20’s but decided it wasn’t for him. Coming from a small town in Ontario where everybody knew who you were and your family and treated you with respect, he couldn’t believe how rude and obnoxious the customers could be. More mature and thicker skinned this time he quickly became the #1 salesman in the Miami area and twice was NAPA’s top salesman in the United States. However, he had the urge to own his own group of auto parts stores. With the girls on their own by then, John and Johnny headed out to Lancaster, California where a friend had told him about five auto stores that might be for sale. After increasing sales 100% over the next year, the seller had second thoughts and reneged on the deal. John returned to Florida to the ocean which he loved. As well, he didn’t particularly like living in the oppressive heat of the high desert. He rejoined Genuine Parts/NAPA and remained with them until he retired. He was briefly married again to Eileen Turner Voris. After retiring, John got in the habit of coming back to the “County” each summer for a couple of months and staying with Burt and Christine Pearsoll at their cottage on Salmon Point. He loved being back in the “County”, attending various events, seeing old friends and being with family. He always said “he grew up in Picton when it was at its best” and he loved to tell stories of the good times he had in his youth and the characters that populated the town. John Pearsoll is survived by his three children, Julie (David) Barron of Boynton Beach, Florida, Janet Pearsoll of Merritt Island, Florida and John Pearsoll Jr of Miami, Florida. His 1st wife Jackie Kitterman (Ken) of Sebastian, Florida. Loving grandfather of Heather Hempe (Matt) of Boynton Beach, Florida and Crystal Patterson (Chris) of San Diego, California. Forever remembered by great grandchildren Summer Patterson and Troy Scheidegger. Dear brother of Ann (John) Leask of Hamilton, Ontario and Burt (Christine) Pearsoll of Bloomfield, Ontario. Loved uncle of Tom and Trudy Leask of Hamilton, Ontario and Ellen (Bruce) Whitehouse of Milton, Ontario, Keith (Nancy) Pearsoll of Maple, Ontario, Smith Pearsoll of Toronto, Ontario and Hart Pearsoll of Ottawa, Ontario. Great uncle of Heather and Fraser Whitehouse and Brooke, Rowan and Calvin Pearsoll. Survived as well by step-son Bruce Voris. Predeceased by his second wife Eileen Turner Voris Pearsoll. A Memorial service will be held on Saturday, September 8th, 2012 at 11:00am at the Glenwood Chapel, Glenwood Cemetery. Cremation took place at an earlier date with some of John’s ashes being spread at his favorite spot - Hollywood Beach, Florida. The remainder are to be interred in the family plot at Glenwood Cemetery following the Memorial Service. A reception is to follow at his brother Burt’s cottage, 59 Moore Lane, Salmon Point.

Terra Vista, Whitepine face off again Ward, Powell crowned as club champions Powerhouses meet in fastball final for third straight year Jason Parks

Staff writer

If familiarity breeds contempt, expect a chippy and chirpy Prince Edward County Men's Fastball Association championship series starting tonight in Tyendinaga. For the third straight postseason, the Terra Vista Rockies and Whitepine Watershed will lock horns for softball supremacy in Prince Edward County. In the Terra Vista camp, the locals will be going for their third straight title and a chance to cement a dynasty in the reincarnation of the local fastball loop. On the other side of the Skyway, Whitepine will be playing with their pride on their sleeves.

PAINTING

In 2010, Deseronto was dealt a blow when the Rockies came back from two games down to win their first league title. Last season, the Rockies were victors as they did away with Whitepine in short order. This time, you can bet Whitepine would risk life and limb to prevent the Rockies from hoisting the PECMFA championship trophy. The first pitch gets tossed this evening at 7:30 p.m. The Rockies punched their ticket to the finals Thursday with a 2-0 blanking of the Roblin's Family Plumbing Copperheads. The opportunistic Rockies took advantage of some Copperhead errors in the

Joey Vaughan

While Casey Ward took her seventh consecutive Picton Golf and Country Club women’s championship with ease, the men’s competition came right down to the final hole. Larry Powell birdied the final hole of his 36-hole tournament to take control of the tournament from Peter Cole who led the entire weekend until that point. Cole, who is noted for his consistency at the club, walked away with the A flight award. Mike Daubney took the B flight title, with Ron Weese and David Forsyth taking the C and D flights among the men. Ward paced the entire field as no competitor of either sex came close to matching her minus-three score.

Affording a home

Buying a home is exciting, but it’s also a major financial commitment. If you are thinking of buying a home in the near future, the Ontario Real Estate Association and your local Realtor offer the following advice to help ensure you get a home you can afford.

What a home costs

When you are determining the cost to buy a home, you’ll need to consider the initial purchase price which includes your down payment as well as all the one-time costs like a home inspection, lawyers’ fees, moving costs and

HST on new homes. Most homebuyers take on a mortgage loan from a bank or other financial institution when buying a home. When lenders determine how much money they will lend you, they look at your ability to pay all of the costs associated with buying a home. Before you go shopping for a lender, you can predetermine what you can afford by using the same formulas the financial institutions use. Reputable lenders will not permit a borrower to take on a debt load they can’t carry and most insist that your monthly housing expenses should not exceed 30 per cent of your monthly gross family

income. This is called your Gross Debt Service Ratio (GDS), which includes your mortgage and other costs such as property taxes, heating, insurance, and condo fees. It’s also a good idea to check your credit rating in advance. You can visit the web sites of Equifax Canada, Trans Union Canada or Northern Credit Bureaus Inc, to obtain your credit history. This will give you an opportunity to correct any problems with your credit rating before you meet with lenders. For help figuring out what you can realistically afford to pay for a home, enlist the services of a Realtor. A Realtor can help you under-

stand property financing, taxes, insurance and the steps you will have to take as a buyer to complete a real estate transaction. To learn more about buying a home, visit
