Todd Smith had to remind his supporters and perhaps even himself that they had something to celebrate as provincial election numbers cast a pall over his victory party at the Belleville Club. There wasn't much discussion when news came in within an hour of the polls closing across Ontario that Kathleen Wynne's Liberals were headed to a majority and for some time, even Smith saw his seat at Queen's Park blowing in the wind, neck-and-neck with challenger Georgina Thompson. Some watched results come in silently, others scurried to check phones for the latest. Ultimately, the Progressive Conservative (PC) Smith prevailed in Prince Edward-Hastings taking 19, 210 votes (41.63 per cent) to Thompson's 15,103 (32.73), NDP Merrill Stewart's 8, 829 (19.13 per cent), Green Anita Payne's 2,449 (5.4), and Libertarian Lindsay Forbes' 554 (1.2). Provincially, the Liberals captured 59 seats, the PCs, 27, and NDP, 21. Still, a feeling of dissatisfaction lingered. Campaign workers openly made statements like "I worked for (Smith), I didn't work for Hudak," and many could be only left to wonder how an election that seemed so attainable when it started fell off the charts over 40 days. Even Smith couldn't hide his frustration when the time came to admit defeat provincially — though he acknowledged he saw it coming. "It sucks, to be perfectly blunt and honest, which I usually am," he said. "I'm ecstatic personally, but very disappointed. I'm not completely surprised. I've had this knot in my stomach for the last three weeks. I didn't like the way some of our platform rolled out. It wasn't communicated very well. i could feel it. I knew it was going to be a massive communications exercise and it turned out it was too massive to overcome provincially."

Liberals upbeat about bigger picture despite Thompson’s loss in Prince Edward-Hastings Jason Parks

Staff writer

Over at the Prince EdwardHastings headquarters of Liberal candidate Georgina Thompson, an evening that started with so much optimism soon became a night of corporate gains and personal loss. It may be hackneyed to say, but there is no other way of describing the election as bittersweet for local Liberals. Campaign manager Denyse Mouck predicted early in the night that Wynne would be elected premier and with each gain made by the formerly scandal-ravaged Big Red Machine, hoots and hollers went up from the staffers inside the cramped office. But updates from local polls started to come less and less frequently as the gap between Smith and Thompson grew.

Soon, media were forced to check out online updates for up-to-the minute results in the Prince Edward-Hastings riding and the picture was grim for those hoping Thompson would be part of a Liberal majority at Queen's Park. Finally emerging from the Liberal war room but not ready to concede at 10:30

ernment. “I think the provincial results are phenomenal,” Thompson said. “It's better than we thought and I was hopeful to be a part of that but this is just not the time. Premier Kathleen Wynne is a great leader, she has a vision and a plan and I'm very, very happy overall for everything.” Thompson thanked the staffers and volunteers that assisted her through the campaign and hinted that she hoped to be back in the next race to elect a provincial representative from Prince Edward-Hastings. “We'll see where I'm at. I'm saying now I might do it again,” Thompson said, adding she would continue to work and support the party, finish her nurse practitioner studies and watch the next four years.

ence and the campaigning process â&#x20AC;&#x201D; going door to door in particular â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was fun and educational. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I learned a lot about my community and a lot about my neighbours,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I discovered there are a lot of things that can be done here. We went all over different areas and this is not a wealthy community â&#x20AC;&#x201D; there are an awful lot of people in this community that are in pretty dire straits.â&#x20AC;? He said it was a disturbing discovery that people should know about. He said his only desire if elected was to do a good job for the residents of Prince EdwardHastings. After campaigning, he said his efforts would have focused on assisting low-income families. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of people here that could really use what governments can do for people when their in poor straits,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are desperately poor people and people who are worried about their children and their future â&#x20AC;Ś there are working people here who are making decisions about paying their

hydro bill and buying food for their children.â&#x20AC;? Stewart said the vote will mean Ontario will continue in the same direction its been going the last 11 years. He said he's leery of governments which last more than two terms. He said it was too early to say whether he'd make a run again in the next election. As the results flooded in Stewart looked on at Belleville's Beaufort Pub. NDP supporter Adam Baltutis of Belleville arrived to show his support. A union electrician, Baltutis said labour rights are extremely important to him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I'm actually quite pleased, I like how it's turning out so far,â&#x20AC;? he said Thursday evening. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Holding seats, taking what we can from the Conservatives, and running a good, clean campaign.â&#x20AC;? He said he likes the fact the Liberals won a majority because a minority could have led voters to the polls again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Liberal majority is better than a Conservative minority,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Results aside, Merrill Stewart said he was happy with his campaign and has no regrets. The Prince Edward-Hastings NDP candidate placed third in Thursday's provincial election, but said he feels inroads were made this time around. While the NDP didn't gain any ground across the province, staying static with 21 seats and garnering 23.8 per cent of the popular vote, Stewart said locally the NDP was able to build on its support. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's not the result I wanted, but it doesn't surprise me,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The campaign

was good, we used it to expand our capacities as a riding association.â&#x20AC;? He said the campaign was able to identify a lot of NDP voters which he said hadn't been done before. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We trained a bunch of people about how a proper campaign works, so it puts us in a much better position with a federal election not too far off,â&#x20AC;? he said. He said he was, however, surprised the Liberals won a majority. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I figured it was going to be a minority somewhere,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously the scare tactics worked, but it's interesting the votes look like they came from the PCs not from us.â&#x20AC;?

CCSAGE argues for compensation 2013 Supreme Court ruling could allow property owners to seek damages Chad Ibbotson Staff writer

The municipality is being asked to get behind another initiative centred around industrial wind turbines. County Coalition for Safe and Appropriate Green Energy (CCSAGE) Naturally Green director Garth Manning spoke to councillors at last week's committee-of-thewhole meeting where he asked councillors to support Naturally Green's campaign against alleged decreased property values due to turbine installations. “Most thinking people here and elsewhere have no difficulty realizing that the whole faulty rationale of the Green Energy Act is that it really doesn't have one,” Manning said Thursday. “Rather it's an ill-conceived scam. It was run through without any cost benefit analysis according to the auditor general, without any consideration at all of effects on health, environment, or business and property values.” The committee asked municipal staff to come back with a report on the legal ramifications of supporting the initiative. Citing a 2013 Supreme Court of Canada ruling — Antrim Truck Centre Ltd. V. Ontario (Transportation)

(2013 SCC13) — Manning said property owners have the right to compensation if three requirements are met: the damage must result from action taken under statutory authority, the action would give rise to liability but for that statutory authority, and the damage must result from construction and not the use of the works. In the Antrim Truck Centre case, the business argued the value of its property was reduced when the province constructed Hwy. 416 nearby. None of the Antrim land was expropriated for the construction. The case was taken to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) and Antrim was awarded $58,000 for business loss and $335,000 for loss in market value. The OMB decision was upheld by the Supreme Court of Canada. Manning said any construction under statutory authority, even if no land is expropriated, can claim compensation for injurious affection — a reduction in market value of land and personal and business damages. “By ads in local media at the beginning of last month we drew attention to existing legal rights if any business or property value is affected by the construction of anything authorized by statute,” he said. “The construction of industrial wind turbines is of course authorized by statute — the infamous Green Energy Act — so the principle applies.” Manning said within three weeks of placing the ads nearly 400 people and businesses in the county have said in writing they would consider seeking compensation if their property values decline

following the construction of turbines. Manning said the group has sent a letter to the premier, ministers of energy and environment, and both opposition parties noting the 400 who would consider seeking compensation. Councillor Robert Quaiff brought forward a motion to have staff report on the legalities and financial implications that could result of council signing a letter to the premier as a participant as it relates to claims to the OMB for compensation as a result of injurious affection should property values be diminished because of construction of wind turbines. Quaiff said he brought forward the motion to make sure councillors wouldn't be putting the municipality at any risk by supporting the CCSAGE initiative, although he said he personally didn't think it would. “This is an effort the municipality needs to get behind, we need to sign this letter. That certainly puts the province, the turbine companies, and all those responsible for the Green Energy Act on notice that, should we suffer economically in Prince Edward County…we do reserve the right to take legal action,” said Quaiff. Councillor Keith MacDonald also expressed his support for the CCSAGE initiative. “I've taken an about turn in the case of windmills in the past year and a half. I've given it a lot of thought and talked to a lot of people,” he said. “… I'm certainly going to do everything I can as a councillor in Prince Edward County to eliminate the installation of windmills.”

PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY

Looking back in the

Picton Gazette 90 years ago — 1924

n The federal government was considering riding redistribution for the House of Commons that would see Prince Edward placed in a shared riding with Lennox. The county had long had a member to itself. Complicating matters, Prince Edward had a sitting Conservative member, while Lennox and Addington had a sitting Progressive. It was cautioned there were considerable objections raised to redistribution elsewhere in Ontario and it was not considered finalized. n There were no prisoners in the Prince Edward County jail that week, marking the first time in many months and the first since Gaoler Croft took his place overseeing the facility. The record of clean living was short lived, however, as a man was held to serve a 10-day sentence imposed by the local police court. n Ontario hydro commissioner J.R. Cooke came to Picton to speak to members of the board of trade. An eastern Ontario farmer, Cooke had suggested many improvements to ensure distribution to rural areas for farm operations.

70 years ago — 1944

n The Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment had a successful battle in Italy as they broke the German line, taking more than 250 prisoners in about three hours of fighting, killed more than that number of Nazi troops, and reported practically no casualties of their own. Sgt. A. Stickle wrote that while the war has been no picnic for his company, they were beginning to see the end of it. n The McFarland Construction Company did the excavating for about 3,000 feet of six-inch water mains for West Main Street and Mary Street in Picton. The work was observed to be done very quickly by using a large power shovel. n Sad news came to the county as local soldiers Sapper Harold Cowan and Pte. George Cross were reported killed as part of the Allied invasion into western Europe on the beaches of Normandy, France.

60 years ago — 1954 n In setting its 1954 budget, Prince Edward County decided to keep the mill rate the same as it was in 1953. The major expenditure, roads, stayed the same at $200,000. The municipality planned to save money on grants, hospitalization, and office maintenance, while costs for the administration of justice were to increase. n A tragic accident in Bloomfield took the lives of Albert Prior Sr., 61, of Picton, and Clifford Merney, 44 of Bloomfield. Both men were overcome by gas in a well, when Merney was unable to rescue Prior from the 42-foot-deep structure.

20 years ago — 1994

n The Loyalist Parkway Group of Advisors opened a tourist kiosk at the corner of County Rd. 1 and Highway 33 near Consecon. In its first week of operation, the kiosk had more than 70 stop-ins from people looking for information. The group’s chair, Honey King, said she hoped the kiosk was the first of many to be built along the Loyalist Parkway. n Nearly 70 A+P workers in Picton were prepared to strike over a proposal to convert 25 supermarkets to NoFrills or SaveA-Centre stores, causing wage cuts.

To perch or not to perch, that is the question

Is there such a thing as the “perfect birdhouse”? Not, if the birdhouse has a perch installed at the entrance! However, there is at least one retail outlet in Napanee, says a concerned reader of this column, that is still offering nest boxes with this unnecessary fixture. Cavity nesting birds do not need perches. In fact, builders are discouraged from including this fixture on their nest boxes, as it serves to provide a convenient place for marauding snakes, cats and other unwanted predators to get a toehold so they can gain access and empty the box of its contents. And house sparrows love perches! To understand the absurdity of perches for nest boxes, one just needs to think about the accommodation that we are providing. Nest boxes are nothing more than a replacement for natural cavities which are rapidly disappearing. Before nest boxes, these cavity dwellers — bluebirds, tree swallows and others — depended on natural cavities in which to build their nests. Many still nest in natural cavities, when they can be found. It is very doubtful if any of these birds though ever carried a power drill and a dowel with them to create a perch when they found a suitable cavity! Watch a cavity nester some time; they have no use for a perch. Instead, they fly almost nonstop into

OUTDOOR RAMBLES TERRY SPRAGUE

the cavity itself, without standing on a perch, and knocking first. Too many builders of nest boxes worry unnecessarily about following suggested dimensions to the letter, regarding entrance size and roof pitch, as given for each individual species. If the entrance hole is not more than 1.5 inches in diameter and the floor size is roughly six by six inches, that box will appeal to anything that can get in it. Of greater importance is placement. If one builds a generic nest box, and places it on a wooden post along a rail fence, bluebirds, if they are in the vicinity, will accept it. Place that same box a little more in the open, tree swallows will be the likely tenants. If that box is placed near the edge of a wooded area, black-capped chickadees will probably nest in it,

and if that same box is placed in the deep interior of a forest, the likely inhabitants will be either a downy woodpecker or a nuthatch. That is not to say that box size is not of importance, in some cases. Obviously, a much larger box will be needed if barred owls are the intended resident. A generic style nest box of the size that will attract bluebirds will need to have an entrance a bit larger than 1.5 inches, if it’s the local great crested flycatcher one is trying to attract. If the corners don’t quite match, so much the better; it will provide the necessary ventilation or drainage that any box requires. All nest boxes should have a way to be opened up at the end of the season, if you wish to clean them out. However, that is a personal choice, whether to clean them out, or just leave them alone. Certainly, most species don’t sweep out and sanitize a natural cavity before they occupy it. If you choose to clean it out, then it should be done thoroughly with an air compressor or simply leave it alone, as it would be if it were a natural cavity. Avoid the temptation to hinge a roof and make it the cleanout access. Even worse, is the floor which could fail midway through the nest season and dump everything – eggs, nestlings, and all – onto the ground. The very best

cleanout is fashioning the front panel so it can swing up from the bottom, thereby facilitating cleanout. A front panel will also provide access during the nesting season if you wish to check on their progress once in a while, which is harmless, provided it is done carefully. Some birdhouses feature a metal bracket around the entrance hole, which deters squirrels and other animals from enlarging the hole to gain access. Others have a thick piece of wood, with a cut-out the same diameter as the hole, which effectively makes the entrance longer (called a predator guard) so that predators cannot scoop down into the box as easily. It’s just common sense, when one stops and thinks about it for a few moments. Perches may look cute, but they simply give predators something to hold onto when approaching the entrance hole. Or, they invite invasive species to nest, which most people do not want. Since natural cavities such as tree trunks do not have perches, birds that will use nest boxes don't need a perch either.

Camping trip turns violent as charges laid in Consecon area

A 20-year-old Quinte West man faces four criminal charges after a camping trip dispute got out of hand near Consecon early Saturday morning. Prince Edward OPP officers were called to a residence in Consecon around 4:20 a.m. amid reports of a violent domestic dispute in the area. Police learned that a couple was camping in the area, but left their camp site following a dispute. As the couple was leaving, their argument escalated. Police say the male accused assaulted his girlfriend and damaged a motor vehicle. He

then left the area while the female party attended a nearby residence for assistance. She was transported to a hospital by ambulance where she was treated for minor injuries. Within a few hours with the assistance of Belleville police, the OPP was able to track down its suspect within the city. The accused was charged with assault causing bodily harm, uttering threats, mischief not exceeding $5,000, and a breach of h is probation orders. The man was held in custody for a bail hearing Monday in Belleville.

IMPAIRED DRIVER

Police say they received a traffic complaint Saturday around 9:15 concerning a vehicle that had been travelling along County Rd. 11 south of Picton. Upon arrival to investigate the complaints, police report the female driver appeared to have been consuming alcohol. A 19-year-old Markham woman was arrested and charged with operating her vehicle while impaired and operating with over 80 mg of blood/alcohol content, both Criminal Code offences.

The accused was released to appear in Picton court July 16.

OPERATION CORRIDOR

On Tuesday, the OPP started a 24-hour highway safety blitz alongside the ministry of transportation to raise awareness about the safe operation and maintenance of commercial vehicle drivers. In the last two years, the OPP ruled that 167 fatal collisions on roads under its jurisdiction involved commercial vehicles. -Staff

ballots a week ago, most couldn’t find a way to stomach Tim Hudak, so they turned and gave the governing Liberals four more years at Queen’s Park. After being criticized for doing little to set his own platform apart from the Liberal platform he rejected in 2011, Hudak went out of his way to differentiate himself and his Progressive Conservatives from the province’s other two major political parties this time around in his second chance to form government. Hudak pandered to his right-leaning base with a platform of fiscal conservatism and austerity in 2014 — a move that did solidify his appeal for those who were already determined to cast ballots for the blue party — but he made some strategic gaffes in the way that he attempted to court the swing vote he needed to gain power, particularly in urban areas. While the province likely does badly need to take a look at cutting back its public sector expenditures, Hudak decided he’d take aim at that important issue during an early campaign speech in Barrie. While his message ought to have been about using attrition to right-size government and about streamlining the bureaucratic agencies themselves, Hudak mentioned firing 100,000 workers. He should have realized that aggressive approach wouldn’t sit well with the public sector unions who were already on guard following his examinations of right-to-work legislation and he had to know, given his own misgivings about the size of government labour that the unions had a much bigger war chest than he could overcome, particularly with many of the businesses he would normally draw support from threatening to move out of Ontario. Secondly, as much as Hudak could have gone after Kathleen Wynne on the Liberal record of scandals and spending, and Andrea Horwath for her decision to prop up the Liberals so long and for the fact the NDP seemed to have the least cohesive campaign despite triggering the election call, he stayed too passive on the attacking front, particularly as the other parties were picking at his own plan. Hudak tried to be transparent in telling Ontario residents what he truly felt they needed — which we think was admirable, albeit clearly ineffective when trying to sway swing voters — but failed to score enough points on the Liberal record. Conversely, many felt Horwath didn’t do enough to differentiate herself from Wynne and her traditional base felt the things she did do pushed more toward the centre-right than traditional NDP ideology. Wynne simply stayed her course, helped people buy into the idea they should fear Hudak’s decision making and played up the idea the NDP wasn’t ready to be the alternative. It worked and she has beaten long odds to actually gain a stronger seat of power. We wouldn’t be surprised, whether she’s told by creditors or whether it was her plan all along, that Wynne will have to cut jobs she stated she wouldn’t and reduce spending quickly to meet her budget targets. She’ll have to do that, keep those who supported her pleased, and run on her record against a new Tory leader hungry to show how she kept her promises after another four years. If nothing else, it will be fun to watch.

Meet new volunteer co-ordinator at appreciation evening

Volunteers play an essential role at the library. Many of the services and programs available at the library could not exist if it were not for their dedication and contributions. As well, the fundraising that makes improvements possible often rests on the work of library Friends groups and other volunteers. Matching volunteers to work that interests them and that is at the same time much needed in the library, is a challenge in itself. “We have dedicated volunteers and people who approach us and want to helpand we want to ensure that we are well organized and can provide the best possible training and scheduling for volunteers,” said Library chief executive officer Barbara Sweet. For this reason, the library has been seeking a volunteer to be the volunteer co-ordinator. The aim is not only to help the library but also to make the experience one that is fulfilling for volunteers and optimally utilizes their skills and talents. “We are pleased to say that we have found someone to take on this important role,” says Sweet. “We are looking forward to introducing Barbara Drake-Land at our volunteer appreciation evening Thursday, June 26. Drake-Land’s career spans work and consulting in public libraries as well as software implementation in health care organizations and as a facilitator in adult education. She holds a masters in adult education from OISE at the University of Toronto. “My husband and I are now semi-retired in Picton and very much enjoying all the county has to offer, including being involved in the community,” says DrakeLand. “I have been particularly impressed with the library system, the leadership and commitment to the communities that the library and its branches serve with its wide range of programming and services to meet the expanding needs of the community. This is especially noteworthy when these programs and services are delivered so well with the resources that the library has.“ As the volunteer volunteer co-ordinator, DrakeLand says, “It is clear that the

InsIde the lIbrary CHRISTINE RENAUD

talented volunteers within the library and its branches play a significant role in many programs as well as supporting the library in its mandate of service delivery. I am privileged to be part of this team.” This new role will involve enhancing the scope of volunteer opportunities and numbers of volunteers — something that will be accomplished by consultation and engagement of all stakeholders — so that the library system can continue to build on its mandate to provide excellence in library services to the community of Prince Edward County. Sweet says “the idea is to build a system and have structures in place to discuss issues and opportunities, facilitate communication, and essentially create a ‘volunteer community’.” The first step in doing so involves acknowledging the important work currently being performed by volunteers and, hopefully, gathering their input on how we might better develop a volunteer network. The library invites all volunteers to join us at an appreciation evening from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, July 29 at the Wellington branch library. Tea, coffee and dessert will be served. Those interested in joining in a short discussion on how we might develop and improve current volunteer activities are invited to stay following the appreciation event. For more information on this evening or any volunteer opportunities, please contact Barb Sweet at 613-476-5962 or bsweet@peclibrary.org.

Consecon family grateful for community’s response to fire

Sadly, we had a fire early Monday morning at our house in Consecon. Damage was limited to the basement, bathroom and spare room, but there is a lot of smoke damage and soot everywhere so it will probably be the end of summer until we can get back to normal. The volunteer firefighters arrived within minutes of our 911 call, and the trucks soon after. Thank you all for working to locate the fire, put it out, all while trying to minimize the damage to other parts of our home while it was so smoke filled that you had to use tanks and masks. We are very lucky, no one was hurt and the fire fighters even managed to find our

cat, shaken and soot-covered, hiding upstairs once the fire was out. We want to thank our wonderful neighbours who immediately offered shelter, snacks and support. A heartfelt thank you to the owners of the Beck & Call Lounge in Picton who paid for our delicious dinner Monday. A big hug to Geraldine; Toby and Mike and Sam; Nancy, Lynda and Robert; and everyone else who called, sent a message or stopped by. Thank you all for everything, what a great community we are lucky enough to live in. Lloyd and Cheryl Lunan Consecon

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

We should strive to foster inclusion, not separation

Regarding “Cases suggest attack on religious freedom,” Gazette, June 12... I’m going to first announce that I support public education. I support the education that we pay for in our taxes. I support the hard work that public education teachers do, the professional development that they take on, and the commitments they make to, and passion they reveal for, democratic education. Given this, they teach – and most do so with open hearts constantly searching for inclusive pedagogies students often of diverse religious, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds some with different sexual/gendered orientations. I support an education that strives to be respectful of difference and that creates safe, welcoming and exciting spaces for student learning. I fear this writer, who I am sure is well meaning, is confused in his thinking. I’m not entirely clear how establishing potentially doctrinaire,

reactionary, non-inclusive teaching practices and/or educational settings can increase religious freedom? He seems to be speaking here more about increasing the number of Christian-only focused schools? He speaks specifically of the Jewish Holocaust and yet were not Hitler youth indoctrinated in private educational settings? Given the climate of the time, in Germany as well as here in Canada, which was largely anti-Semitic, such things were not first seen as problematic. Such thinking has the potential to create an “us and them” dichotomy. In creating such separation, I fear for those who do not fit the mold. For example, will Trinity Western admit homosexual students who agree to abstain? Can a private school offer courses from a strictly Muslim perspective and yet allow non-Muslim students to register? I recognize that the Catholic and Protestant division was enshrined very early on as Canada came to

nationhood. The latter has developed into our current Ontario public school system - which attempts to exclude religious doctrine from its curriculum - and the former, into the Catholic school board – which can at times create personal moral crises for teachers who are required to teach some very doctrinaire Catholic ideologies to “questioning” teens. I teach teachers in a master’s program and I hear their many concerns every day. They care deeply about their students and critically reflect on their own learning. I realize there are times when certain communities feel the need to create a private school to address the specific concerns of their communities - especially when that community is subsumed or erased by the dominant culture. There is no question that schools such as the recent Africentric Alternative School in Toronto fill such a need. But I think we need to be very clear, careful and critical of our reasons for

establishing such schools. If we are servicing only a particular population, who are then being excluded? Why are we not including them? Will the establishment of these schools increase rights and freedoms for all or will we be perpetuating a very narrow and problematic dogma? Our state-approved schools are not doctrinaire prisons. Of course, we have issues with what is being taught and how it is being taught and not all teachers or principals or boards are perfect. But believe me, they are genuinely trying and you can have an impact on changing, and contributing to educational reform as parents and as citizens. Perhaps it’s time for a co-exist club to form at the high school that invites those who are genuinely committed to “freedoms” for all, with all our different religions, cultures, sexual orientations and abilities, to meet?

Regarding June 12 letter by Brian Flack.. "Five more reasons not to vote PC" Why do so many citizens tend to criticize the minutia of a particular political parties platform when they should be concerned on the big picture. Any rational thinking person would agree that regardless of the party they support , politics is riff with corruption, cronyism and that politicians are often concerned with their own

power instead of their constituents. To pick five reasons, as Flack did, to not vote for a party is really missing the big picture. I could pick any party and lay out five, 10 or 100 reasons not to vote for them depending on my personal views. I just wish people would demand and look for that one party that would simply govern as we citizens live our lives....."Live within our means". You only need

to look south of the border at cities like Detroit. Or look at countries like Spain,Italy,Greece Portugal to understand what eventually happens when you govern with an out of control platform of tax and spend. It always sounds so nice and noble to hear politicians talk about "investment" and how we should "invest" in this or that....I think what is often missed is when people hear that they don't understand it means "spend

your hard earned money". So often these "investments" are tad-amount to throwing cash out your car window. Investment is great....if we can afford it. Just remember....eventually politicians and governments run out of everyone else's money. So next time, consider the big picture...not a partisan complaint list.

Proportional representation would make more votes count

I was happy to see in your June 12 editorial that your paper subscribes to Ontario's examination of electoral reform. The voting system is the heart of representative democracy. It's the tool citizens use to create democratic government. Canada's current voting system is based on the antiquated winner-take-all two party voting system where in each riding, one group of voters wins and every other

voter in that riding loses. Their votes elect no one, ineffective, wasted votes. In a typical federal election more than seven million Canadians or over just half of votes cast, were wasted votes. No wonder voter turnout is so low. In proportional representation, a party's share of MPs will actually reflect how people vote. If voters for a party cast 40 per cent of the vote, they will elect 40 per cent of

the MPs (not 50 or 60 per cent). Fair Vote Canada is a multi-partisan citizens campaign for voting system reform. Our national advisory board includes prominent Conservative, Liberals, New Democrats and Greens. Some 81 countries have voting systems with an element of proportional representation. There are many different systems of proportional representa-

tion, it's time for Canada to make that choice. Google Fair Vote to find out more, or you could join a few of us who are meeting on June 22 at 1 p.m. to discuss how the county and the surrounding area can help to make 2015, the year of change. Please call 613-3931985 for more information about the meeting. Lynne Rochon Athol

Cold War submariner recalls service Author brings books to Picton as part of 100th anniversary of Canadian subs

Mere mention of the Cold War brings back tense memories for many who lived through it. Of course, for most, that just includes the fear of rhetoric between the Soviet Union and the West. For Dean Lewis, the danger of the era was omnipresent. Between 1982 and 1988, the Woodstock, Ontario native was stationed in Halifax, where he worked as a submariner on the crews of Canada’s three Oboats — the HMCS Ojibwa, HMCS Onondaga, and HMCS Okanagan. Rarely did Lewis know what to expect when he was called into work. Often, he’d be scrambled to work in disguise during the dark of night so that nearby spies didn’t know about his movements. Then, he and 64 other men would climb onboard a submarine and await orders for their mission. “When you went out, you never knew what you were going to be doing or if you’d be back,” he said during a visit to Picton’s Naval Marine Archive to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Canada’s submarine program. Essentially, Lewis and his crew mates were involved in a cat-andmouse game trying to hide from and to trail nuclear submarines. Gesturing about an inch with his thumb and index finger, Lewis said he count on one hand the times he felt it was “this close” to the end of the world during his shift. He noted most people don’t realize that Niagara Falls was one of Russia’s big targets, right up there with Hoover Dam, due to its hydro capacity... but then indicated he already went to far in telling that story. Lewis did note that some believe the Russians did work their way up the St. Lawrence River a few times, though it’s uncertain how far they were able to go in Canadian waters. Lewis’ role on the subs was that of SONAR operator and helmsman, which essentially meant he was the ears of the sub and was responsible for steering it. “You’re listening all the time,” he said. “Every ship has a signature frequency. I could tell you, for example, when K-19 was there... and it was close at times.” Lewis said natural

sounds were a tough phenomenon for people in his position to work through, with crackling shrimp being one of his toughest to decipher. He said the Russians actually tried to make the sound of their ships mimic nature to help keep their cover in the water. If it seems like a hard enough job already, Lewis added some description about what quarters were like onboard a sub in his era. He said it would be like having 15 of your closest friends in one 14’x12’ room. Even if they weren’t put to work, it could be frustrating to co-exist. “You can imagine how long it would take before you go nuts,” he said, adding even the sleeping bunks didn’t provide a lot of comfort as they were built for men 5’6 despite the fact most of the crew members stood over six feet tall. The upshot, Lewis noted, is that inevitably all the ship’s crew would act like one big family. It would be a routine that would prove hard to break. “It comes back to you. There’s a big difference when you’re finished after everything has been dictated and done for you in the military,” he said. “Even 10 years ago, there’d be times I’d be walking up and feeling that I needed to classify a submarine.

“Post-traumatic stress disorder does happen in every service and submariners are no exception. It’s such an isolated experience.” Lewis still keeps in touch with some of the submariners he served with and he’s able to share memories of time at sea with them. Otherwise, he’s on pretty strict orders to stay silent as he explained that his security clearance ends at his death. That hasn’t stopped Lewis from authoring two books in a series entitled Submariner Tales: Truth or Fiction, You Decide. He said he didn’t worry about breaching his confidentiality as he wrote his stories with a mix of real and fictional tales solely to give people an idea of what life was like on submarines in his era — which he stresses is different than those eras before and after him. “You decide what is real and what is not,” he said. “I was able to write about what I felt was realistic and it was meant to make people think about what happened on the submarines at that time.” Lewis delivered a number of his books to Betty Ann Anderson at the Naval Marine Archive and stresses people can learn more by buying the books and helping the local collection via the purchases.

Lewis has a brother-in-law who lives in Picton, so he noted he was well aware of the Naval Marine Archive, which houses a broad collection of art and literature about Canadian marine operations. While he dropped off books to sell, Lewis also brought with him some limited edition gold and silver medals that would promote the centenary of both the Canadian and Australian submarine services this year and some promotional material about one of the ships he served on, the Ojibwa, which is now a museum in Port Burwell, Ontario. Visitors can travel to the north shore of Lake Erie to go for a guided tour of the ship, which was opened to the public last year. In the future, a new museum of naval history is planned as a complementary attraction. Lewis said the ship would give people a good idea of what it would be like to serve on a submarine, though he noted that the newer Victoria series, which is currently in use by the Canadian Navy features larger quarters than those of his era. Lewis noted that Canada now employs four submarines and has one active at all times on each of the east and west coasts, while the country also regularly patrols the north, which has become a hotly contested area in recent years. He noted the country has worked on retrofitting some of the new submarines, which were bought from the United

Kingdom amid considerable press about whether they were a good buy or not. Lewis was just one author invited to the Naval Marine Archive this weekend as part of its celebration of the anniversary. Noted author Julie Ferguson was to give an address on the history of the submarine force Sunday afternoon, including materials from her new book Through A Canadian Periscope, first released in 1995 and revised and updated this year. Ferguson visited a submarine as a naval reserve officer in 1979 and actually married her captain from the ship. Discovering there were no books about the submarines at the time, she dedicated her career to writing about them. Ferguson will also has a companion book, Deeply Canadian: New Submarines for a New Millennium available for purchase. Naval Marine Archive director Paul Adamthwaite said the presentation would go form very humble beginnings when a group of British Columbia business people met the producers of Canada’s first submarines in the dead of night to inspect them and make a cash purchase before Chile could acquire the ships to tales of today’s fleet with many intriguing tales along the way. Accompanying the discussions, the Archive will be hosting the 31st exhibition of the Canadian Society of Marine Artists, which happens to feature three paintings of Canada’s first subs plainted by John M. Horton, Marc Magee and Peter Rindlisbacher.

Prince Edward-Hastings MP Daryl Kramp says he applauds amendments brought forward by MP Terence Young to Bill C-17 (Vanessa’s Law), which promises improvements to patient safety. The bill, which was introduced in the Commons in December would allow government more control to recall unsafe drugs, stiffen fines for pharmaceutical companies and health-care institutions for unsafe products, giving more control to courts to impose strong fines, and to strengthen labels to clearly

reflect risk information, particularly for at-risk populations including children. Young’s amendments would allow require positive and negative decisions about drug authorizations to be disclosed publicly and clinical trial information to be disclosed on a public registry. It would also give the Minister of Health room to disclose confidential information in case of a serious health risk. The amended bill has now moved onto the Senate for consideration. -Staff

Public board projects balanced budgets for new year Trend of declining enrollment to level off by the start of 2014-2015 classes Jason Parks

Staff writer

The presentation of the 2014-2015 Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board capital and operating budgets Monday evening was actually good news story on a number of fronts. Superintendent of business services Leslie Miller announce that she and the senior leadership team had crafted a neutral budget sheet for the upcoming school year, meaning the board would not have to dip into its accumulated surplus for an additional $1.6 million to balance as was originally forecasted in January. In addition, the declining enrollment trend that has plagued the board for a number of years has finally levelled off as the system is expecting to have about the same number of elementary school students next year as they had in 2013-2014. Miller told trustees Monday the school board is expected to take in $191 million in revenues next year versus expected operation expenses forecast to be $189.3 million. The figures leave $1.8 million to be used to temper the liability of future employee benefits and vacation accrual. In terms of capital expenditure, the board has planned to spend $9.8 million on facility renewal and improvements in 2014-2015, a decrease of over $10 million. Miller said that on March 27, 2014, the board received good news in the form of the latest “Grants for students needs” announcement which indicated the ministry of education was going to spend $22.53 billion to educate children, an increase of 3.1 per cent over 2013-2014. The majority of the increase came by way of the final year of a five year plan to roll out full-day Kinder-

garten. In 2014-2015, the board is expected to welcome 1,820 kindergarten students to school and, as a result, the numbers of elementary school pupils is expected to to be about the same as in 2013-2014. This marks the first year in almost a decade that the local public school board will not have a smaller number of elementary students over the previous year and the trend is expected to continue. At the secondary level, the number of students continues to decline and overall, 280 fewer pupils will be attending high school in 2014-2015. “We expect that to be a continuing trend over the coming years until it stabilizes,” Miller said. In total, the board will spend $141.1 million for instruction of its 15,300 students at 39 elementary and eight secondary schools and $5.7 million for administration. n In other public school board news, trustees recog-

nized the efforts of PECI's Cynara Lewis who won both the Loyalist College and Ontario Technological Skills Competition in the discipline of photography. Lewis was unable to attend the board meeting but PECI principal Darren McFarlane and educator Hillary Anne Clarke were on hand to recognize Lewis' significant achievements. “We're particularly proud, she's a dynamic student at PECI,” McFarlane told trustees. “She's had a very exciting year and it's been an incredible journey for both her and PECI.” Clarke added the first place finishes have helped the senior student make career path options she might not have made had she not entered the competitions. “The entire experience has been life changing for her,” Clarke said. “It's been really confidence building. Cynara was not sure where she was going but these awards have given her positive feedback and the en-

couragement she needed to pursue photography.”

ary. It says any proposed expansion would have to meet the requirements of the povincial policy statement (PPS) which allows for boundary expansions only where sufficient opportunity isn't available to accommodate any projected needs or where “the infrastructure and public service facilities which are planned or available are suitable for the development over the long term, are financially viable over their life cycle, and protect public health and safety and the natural environment.” The report concludes that staff and the consultant team have no evidence to demonstrate a need for expansion. Also, currently Rossmore is serviced by municipal water, but neither municipal or communal sewage services and the PPS doesn't support expanding settlements on partial services. As for financial implications, the report says contracts have been awarded and work has already been done to complete the new official plan to a substantial degree. “Should the underlying growth and settlement assumptions be revised at this

late stage much of this work will need to be re-examined and/or rewritten, incurring additional unbudgeted expense,” it says, adding that a new growth and settlement study would be required. O'Brien and Maynard argued staff wasn't present at the meeting to explain parts of the report and sought a deferral, which lost. Maynard said she didn't necessarily dispute the recommendations of the report, but said it was unusual not to have any staff present to answer questions. O'Brien said she still had questions and said it was her duty as a councillor to know for sure if there was a need to expand the boundary. “I find it insulting, to us as a councillor, that they're not here to answer (questions),” she said. “Somebody should be here to answer something that they know is debatable with the councillors from that area.” Ultimately, the majority of councillors agreed with the motion on the the agenda and voted not to pursue a boundary expansion and to reassess the issue during the next five-year official plan review as required by the Planning Act. Councillor Bev Campbell said she had yet to hear why the councillors wanted to expand the boundary. “I haven't heard any good reason for doing that,” she said. Mayor Peter Mertens said staff never explored a settlement boundary expansion for Rossmore and accepted from the beginning there weren't any grounds for an expansion. “A year ago the province approached us and wanted to reduce the settlement area in Rossmore,” Mertens said. “The ministry of housing — we discussed settlement areas and we discussed growth — want to focus as much as they can that have two services, that have sewer and have water.” He said the ministry wouldn't consider an expansion without knowing where growth would come from in the context of the entire county. The final decision on the subject will take place at the June 24 council meeting.

Picton boy to receive fire safety award

Alex Korchuk earned a trip to the Big Smoke tonight because he knew what to do when facing the threat of fire in his home. Last December, Korchuk, 7, was asleep when he was awakened by the sound of the smoke alarm. He ran to his father’s bedroom and roused him from his sleep to alert him about the development. Korchuk explained that not only were the alarms sounding, but he saw smoke everywhere. His father found a wall unit in the family’s recreation room involved and

told Korchuk to wake up his two older brothers and take them to the mud room. He carried out his duties calmly and bravely and got his brothers safely to the agreed upon meeting place while his father extinguished the flames and called the fire department. Korchuk knew exactly what to do as he learned about fire prevention in his Grade 2 classroom just months earlier. The family had followed up on the lesson plans all three boys had learned at school and they had discussed their escape

plan together. Ted Wieclawek, the chair of the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council said Korchuk’s heroics are worthy of the Fire Safety Action Award he’ll be presented tonight. “Although the house suffered some smoke and fire damage, the family was able to return home a week later,” he said. “Because of Alex’s quick actions and fire safety knowledge, the damage was relatively minor and, most importantly, everyone safely escaped. -Staff

Seniors are fastest growing group of computer buyers, Internet users in Canada

Older adults are the fastest growing group of computer buyers and Internet users. Internet use in the 65 and over age group is growing faster than in all other age groups. In its report titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Portrait of Seniors in Canadaâ&#x20AC;? Statistics Canada states that â&#x20AC;&#x153;Computer use has become part of everyday life for many Canadians. Between 1990 and 2003, the share of households with a personal computer increased from 16

per cent to 67 per cent. Internet penetration followed suite, with the share of households accessing the Internet from home more than tripling between 1997 and 2003, rising from 16.0 per cent to 54.5 per cent. The share of senior-led households with home Internet access increased from 3.4 per cent to 22.7 per cent and access among households headed by someone aged 55 to 64 increased more than four-fold.

The same trend is evident if we consider individuals rather than households. The share of individuals aged 65 to 74 using the Internet increased from 11 per cent to 28 per cent between 2000 and 2003, and the share using email increased from 11 per cent to 27 per cent. The same upward trend was evident among seniors aged 75 or older, albeit at a lower level. Overall, Internet and email use is becoming increasingly prevalent

among seniors, but utilization remains highest among younger age groups.â&#x20AC;? Some research shows that age is not an important predictor of owning a computer. An interest in technology among other factors is more important in determining who owns a computer. A computer or other device such as a tablet can enrich your life in many ways. Just as you might not know exactly how your car works to drive it, so too, you don't have to understand the computer to send electronic mail (e-mail) to friends and family, shop online, play games, make greeting cards, read book and film reviews, look into your family's genealogy, find friends on Facebook or find valuable health information on the internet. It is a myth that older adults are resistant and react negatively to technological change. Some research shows that older adults' direct experience with computers and technology can have a positive influence on their overall outlook and mental health. The internet is a very large computer network through which individual computers are connected to internet service providers (ISP) so they can share information.

Deseronto Transit could soon offer more services County considers allowing expanded pick-ups, drop-offs Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

Some expanded transit options could be coming to Prince Edward County following a committee-of-thewhole vote last week. The committee voted to grant authorization to Deseronto Transit Service â&#x20AC;&#x201D; subject to the municipality being added to the service's insurance â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to expand pickup and delivery service within the county. The motion to authorize the expansion will come before council on June 24. In addition, council requested a staff report to explore transit operations and include in the report any recommended transit enhancements for the 2015 budget process. Currently the service is allowed to pick up passengers within the county, drop them off outside of the county, and deliver them back. The change will allow the service to drop off riders within the municipality along the regular route. Deseronto Transit administrator Susan Stolarchuk said at last Thursday's meeting the expansion would allow the service, for example, to pick riders up in Bloomfield and drop them off in Picton. While the expansion is moderate, councillors seemed pleased with the concept of expanded transit options. Councillor Bev Campbell spoke in support of the motion.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I see this as a very exciting move,â&#x20AC;? she said. Campbell said she looks forward to a future where Prince Edward County may have some real public transportation options for residents and said authorizing Deseronto Transit was a step in the right direction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's a long overdue move. It's a simple move that we can do fairly easily and it will benefit a lot of people right away,â&#x20AC;? she said. Councillor Barry Turpin concurred. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's an excellent initiative and I'm glad to see it moving forward,â&#x20AC;? he said. Councillor Terry Shortt noted the importance of public transportation to the municipality's aging population. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all know we're an aging community and any way we can make it more mobile for people who are on fixed incomes is an excellent initiative,â&#x20AC;? he said. While he supported the move, councillor Brian Marisett said there's more that can be done. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We've known this need has existed here since long before amalgamation,â&#x20AC;? he

said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Ś There's a lot of people in need â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially our youth. Study after study highlights the mental impact on health of our youth when they don't have access to facilities.â&#x20AC;? Marisett put forward an amendment to the motion to have staff bring forward a report with recommended enhancements to transit that can be brought to the next term of council's budget process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We've been so slow in moving this forward. I can only hope staff can bring something forward to the budget for new council to give consideration as to how they might be able to enhance this, because there is a need,â&#x20AC;? he said. A report from the community development department presented to councillors on Thursday highlights challenges created by the municipality's dearth of transit options. The report notes the impact on several service agencies and organizations in the community â&#x20AC;&#x201D; such as PECI and Prince Edward Learning Centre â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the benefits they could derive from expanded transit. It also

highlights the social benefits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will provide personal mobility and freedom for people from every walk of life regardless of demographics such as income or age,â&#x20AC;? the report says. The report says expanded transit would open up access to employment and education opportunities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will provide access to job opportunities, as well as a transportation option for attending school. This leads to better long-term economic opportunities,â&#x20AC;? it says. The report says there would be no financial implications to authorizing Deseronto Transit and the service would be reviewed after one year to determine needs, costs, feasibility and other transit factors.

Cooper, winemaker team together to make some fiery new creations

Last week I wrote about the grand opening of Three Dog Winery and I went out on Saturday to check it out. What a party! Local food vendors, lively music and of course some great wine including the release that day of their new Dog House Rose .... delicious! Over 500 people stopped by during the day and a great time was had by all! On Father’s Day I dropped by Black Prince Winery to toast the Opening of the new cooperage and oak barrel works in the renovated barn. Black Prince Winery general manager and winemaker Geoff Webb and cooper Pete Bradford and have worked together and experimented with wood and wine since 2006 on a project by project basis. They have now teamedup to craft and recondition barrels to age wine in casks of all shapes and sizes made only at this winery in Picton. “It was a natural progression” said Bradford.

“Geoff and I have had a terrific arm’s length work relationship for years so it was time to team-up and see what we can do together locally at Black Prince”. This team has already produced exciting results and the winery was busy all day on Sunday with tours and demonstrations

of the new cooperage led by Bradford and his apprentice Ian Hutchison. Sampling the wines aged in these local barrels now made right on the property was a treat indeed and I enjoyed traditional Chardonnay (comparing the same wine oaked and unoaked), Merlot and of course the Black Prince Cabernet Franc. Webb and Bradford have also experimented with different and unique wooden wine barrels over the years including Pete’s original design CHOA barrels (cherry, hickory, oak and ash) that won them a silver medal for their CHOA Chardonnay (and also won County Cider Gold for Ice cider) at The Royal Winter Fair. While I was there another secret came out – the barn was also renovated for a unique new venture! Opening in late July at the Black Prince ... Caverns Vinegar Company will offer local barrel-aged wine vinegars crafted right here in the county by Bradford and Webb. Highly sought after by chefs and foodies, these special vinegars are ideal for marinating and cooking meats and make great salad dressings. I had a “sneak peek” at the new space already housing many of these vinegar barrels including giant 600 litre Brandy casks directly from Spain that will be used to barrel-age “brandy” vine-

gars . I also feasted on a meal of some fresh pulledpork sliders made using these local barrel-aged vinegar and a super local vinegar barbecue sauce.! Sunday's visit was a real eye-opener and shows

some of the new and exciting wine trends created by local talent and happening right here in the county. When it was time to leave, with a wink Webb revealed another “secret project” that will be launched by

this new team using some of those magnificent large Sherry casks later this fall so I will have to check back with them soon. Until then the enthusiasm and energy of Bradford and Webb burns brightly at Black Prince Winery. You can visit them this summer on selected weekends for live barrel making demonstrations, knowledgeable conversation and terrific local wines (and now vinegars!). We are now in full swing in the county with events happening every weekend now (I will try and keep as many posted and up to date on my website as possible - as well as have an interactive map so you know how to get around to check them out). I will be out and about sippin some wine this weekend but my main focus this coming Saturday will be Terracello Winery. This Italian inspired winery will be celebrating their Sicilian Solstice and there will be live music (classic rock, soul, jazz, and folk band), great wine and lots of food including the most incredible pizza made right their in their outdoor oven — pizza and wine, truly a match made in heaven! -Joe Hache maintains an independent guide to local wineries at www.princeedwardcountywineries.com.

Picton heritage district now in hands of OMB Sills says County met requirements of procedural bylaw, statutes regarding notification Chad Ibbotson Staff writer

Following a hearing Tuesday the future of Picton's heritage conservation district will rest with the Ontario Municipal Board. OMB member MaryAnne Sills wrapped Tuesday's hearing saying she would consider issuing an order — either to dismiss the appeal or to direct the municipality to repeal the bylaw — and follow up at a later date with written reasons for the decision. The heritage conservation district would designate about eight blocks of Main Street in Picton as having heritage value under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act. Properties under the district would be required to adhere to visual and other guidelines as out-

lined in the heritage conservation district plan prepared for the municipality by ERA Architects. The appellants — Naval Marine Archive – The Canadian Collection and Canadian Society of Marine Artists, represented by executive director Paul Adamthwaite and secretary/treasurer Betty Ann Anderson respectively — had made several deputations opposing the plan since its inception in 2012. On Tuesday they argued council erred in procedure when approving the bylaw declaring the heritage conservation district, they said there wasn't sufficient public consultation, and said the Heritage Conservation District plan was vague. Things got off to a rocky start for Adamthwaite and Anderson. As the meeting

opened, Adamthwaite sought Sills to recuse herself because of a perceived prejudgement of appellants' position. “You gave us the very distinct impression that you had prejudged a certain number of matters that are deeply intrinsic, not just on the merits of the bylaw, but on the very foundation of what we're trying to do — which is the fact we need legal representation,” Adamthwaite told Sills Tuesday. Sills said she would not recuse herself, as her comments — recorded by Adamthwaite during a preliminary teleconference — were meant to give direction to the parties as to what arguments the OMB could rule on. She said she had no preconceived notions of Adamthwaite's arguments. Following that ruling Adamthwaite sought an adjournment as he said his legal counsel could not be present at the hearing. He said he'd been in talks with a law firm in Kingston since September of last year and up until June 10 of this year believed they would be representing the appellants' case at the hearing. He said he was informed on that date the firm wouldn't take the case and prompted a search for replacement legal representation, which he retained on June 12. However, he said his legal representation wouldn't be available until September. The municipality — represented by Wayne Fairbrother of law firm Templeman Menninga LLP — did not give consent for the adjournment. Sills ruled there was not sufficient grounds to adjourn the meeting to a later date. She said unrepresented appellants appear before the board often and a number of unrepresented appellants have appeared before her. OMB adjournment rules also state that request for adjournment without consent must be presented in writing at least 10 days before the hearing, and the board will only grant last-minute adjournments in the case of serious illness.

waite moved to outline his opposition to the heritage conservation district. He recalled the council vote from July 2013 which passed the bylaw creating the district. He said there was an initial vote which ended in a 7–7 split and the motion lost, but was immediately followed by a recorded vote, which approved the bylaw by a margin of 8–6. Sills ruled the vote was irrelevant. She said any procedural bylaw she's seen has allowed for recorded votes to be called either before or after an initial show of hands. “The reality is that the board doesn't have jurisdiction with respect to scrutinizing a vote of council,” she said. “… At the end of the day I just don't have jurisdiction to suggest council's voting mechanism was flawed.” Fairbrother confirmed both the Municipal Act and the municipality's procedural bylaw provide for the calling of a recorded vote following the initial show of hands. Adamthwaite, presenting his second point of contention, said there wasn't adequate consultation with property owners along Main Street. He also proposed that not enough had been done to advise the public of the meetings held to discuss the plan. ERA Architect Lindsay Reid was called by Fairbrother as an expert witness. Reid testified to the board that community consultation for the drafting of the plan alone included at least three public meetings, an online survey, and oneon-one meetings. She said the community consultation process exceeded the statutory requirement for such a plan. Sills concurred and ruled the statutory requirements for consultation had been met in the process. “You may not feel that it was sufficient, but all the board can make a finding on is whether they met the statutory requirements,” Sills told Adamthwaite. “… They were not even required to have a public meeting on this matter, but they did that …You can't make people show up. You can lead a horse to water sir, but you can't make him drink.” From there, Adamthwaite presented his final point — that the plan was vague and contained factual errors. Adamthwaite called Anderson to speak as a witness. Anderson said through her own research she found several errors relating to the age of buildings on Main Street. She referred to a graphic representation of the general age of structures on the street contained within the heritage conservation district plan. For example, she said the Picton public library is listed as 1864–1893 in the plan, but was primarily constructed in 1906. She said the district includes both contributing and non-contributing buildings, but in Picton the noncontributing buildings account for six out of 10 of the 141 properties the district would cover.

She said the plan also neglects to mention that all properties within the district would be registered with the land registry office. She said any property that is not maintained to the standards of the plan can be purchased or expropriated by the municipality. “People do not like to feel that they own a building and have to go through a lot of process to paint it,” said Anderson. “There's a lot of resistance at that level, but the biggest resistance is the properties being registered in the land registry which means that if you try to do something with the property, there's a lien against it.” Upon being recalled by Fairbrother, Reid said the ages of the buildings were compiled by a group of volunteers using archives and other resources that were sometimes contradictory. She said the plan allows for minor alterations to buildings without being subject to a heritage permit. She said that includes repainting already painted buildings a different

colour. Reid said while many structures in the district may be non-contributing to heritage, she said their inclusion was based on more than just the bricks and mortar structures. In his closing arguments, Fairbrother asked the board to dismiss the appeal and ap-

Awesome Foundation started

Prince Edward County now has its own branch of the Awesome Foundation, it was announced at a Creative Rural Minds gathering Monday night. The worldwide network, which started in Boston in 2009, provides $1,000 grants to projects and their creators from pools of donors with no strings attached. The first 10 trustees of the local chapter: Ryan Aldred, Scott Bowman, Mark Campbell, Lindsay Casey, Krista Dalby, Lindsay Reid, Christine Renaud, Julianne Snepsts, Jenn Ully, and Susan

Wallis will each put forward $100 and as a group assess who will receive the first $1,000. Awesome PEC organizer Lenny Epstein says the group is hoping to raise enough interest to offer quarterly grants to people willing to make the county a better place to live.

the only qualified witness who was callable to give opinion evidence as an architect with experience in heritage conservation,” he said. Adamthwaite opined in his closing arguments that he'd not been able to present the case as eloquently as would have been possible with the help of legal counsel. “I am not a lawyer. We are still very adamant we would have done better to have a lawyer here today,” he said. He asked the board to consider the evidence that was presented on behalf of the appellants and said he doesn't believe there is a future to the plan. Sills said she would take time to review the plan and the evidence presented and weigh them in her decision. She said would consider issuing an order giving the board's decision and follow that with written rationale at a later point. No timeline for the decision was given.

There have been leaves showing problems turning up in the hands of Master Gardeners, or descriptions of unusual markings and drooping of leaves and plants, all of which leads to a decision that one of the plant diseases are involved. Given that a disease is not visible, as is a pest, the exact culprit involved may be more difficult to determine. The explanations here range from the technical to the practical. Use what is helpful to you. While fungi are the most common cause of plant diseases, viruses, bacteria and nematodes also contribute. Diseases can linger in the soil or host plants for very long periods of time. Some can disfigure plants without killing the host but certainly disturbing the gardener who is working towards developing an attractive garden or appealing fruit and vegetables. A plant disease is encouraged by a weakened plant and by unsupportive environmental conditions such as too little rain or too much. Many previously healthy plants were weakened last winter by the ice storms that caused damage to plants ranging from trees to smaller plants with woody stems. The continuous low temperatures also

weakened less hardy trees, bushes and plants, which were revealed in the spring. While there were no late frosts, the temperatures overall have been significantly lower than average during the day. To no one’s surprise, we are already seeing existing diseases worsening and new ones are appearing. A gardener recently came in to the Canadian Tire Garden Centre with a Boston ivy leaf covered in rusty coloured spots with a purplish red border. This is guignardia leaf spot caused by the fungus Guignardia bidwelii that survives in leaf litter. It is produced during cool, moist conditions and is disbursed by wind and water splash. It a common fungus that affects vining plants such as Boston ivy and Virginia creeper. If infections occur before leaves fully expand, they can become puckered and distorted. While it is unsightly, it is only a cosmetic issue and will not kill the plant. According to the gardener both the vines and the disease were in existence when he bought the property and the vines

grow over a large retaining wall. The disease has spread throughout the vines over time. Removal of the vines is not an option according to the owner of the garden. At a request from someone working on the hospital gardens regarding problems with both the leaves on an old rose bush and nearby holly bushes, I went out to look at them. They are in a largely north facing garden but do receive several hours of sun. The rose bush looks very healthy with numerous blooms though some leaves are not doing well. The holly bushes while less lush still had far more healthy leaves than not. The University of Massachusetts suggests that the various spots, blotches and dying leaves on holly simply be called ‘holly leaf spot’. The university states that not enough is known about the specific funguses involved to ascribe a particular fungus as the cause. Research in locating the exact fungus involved would not be easy and not necessary in terms of treatment. It also adds that winter stress can cause brown spots on a holly leaf. Diagnosing the problem with the rose leaves was more complex. In the first place there appeared to be more than one problem and none of them appeared to have seriously affected the plant’s vigor and flower production at this point. There were certainly leaves with small spots and some with larger brownish markings that indicated a possible fungus problem. The two most common fungal problems with roses are black spot and powdery mildew and the markings did not clearly indicate either problem. While fur-

ther observation is clearly required the recommended management for dealing with a fungal disease would clearly support plant health in the rose bush. Both the rose and the holly bushes need some major pruning to open up the bushes to allow more air circulation. Damaged leaves should be removed along with any debris under the bushes during the pruning process. While the vines should be thinned regularly to promote air circulation do not attempt to remove all of the damaged leaves as the vines are too badly infected. Again remove all the leaf debris both old and new. Good quality compost should be used under the bushes as mulch to retain moisture and also as a balanced source of nutrients. Control of Guignardia bidwelii and the other funguses involved includes cleaning up all leaf litter in the fall. As with any fungal infections, do not compost the leaves but put them in the garbage. When watering the plants, use a soaker or drip hose to prevent water splash. Rain is unfortunately beyond the gardener’s control. The rose and holly bushes appear relatively healthy and the appearance of the fungal diseases of relatively short duration therefore the treatment plan will focus on improving the general vigor of the plant through pruning and the environment of the plant by removing infected debris including infected leaves, the soil through healthy mulching and controlling the leaf splash through more careful watering.

Pruning, leaf disposal, and fungicides could be options

garbage. Use a compost mulch to keep the soil cool in the summer and to boost the population of beneficial fungi. When watering the plants use a drip or soaker hose. Prompt action may save this crop. Do not plant tomatoes in the same bed for at least four years. When removing the infected plants now or in the future place them in the garbage as well. Fast attention to an unhealthy plant is likely to increase the chances of success of controlling or getting rid of the disease. Discard the plant if that is the best option in your garden. Annuals, even tomato plants, are the easiest loss.

DISEASES, from page 20

If the vine has been severely defoliated by guignardia leaf spot for several years, the gardener may need to apply preventatives of broad-spectrum fungicides alternating the active ingredient for treatments to avoid developing resistance. Given the limitations for home gardeners in Ontario in using fungicides you should discuss this problem with an experienced nursery staff. The fact that the same pathogen is considerably more serious in relationship to grape vines may be of assistance in obtaining the correct fungicide. This year it may be too late to go beyond pruning and leaf disposal. Apply the fungicide just as the leaves begin to appear in the spring and re-apply at seven to fourteen day intervals until the weather becomes hotter or until leaves are mature. Be sure to follow the label instructions for applying a fungicide. While fungal diseases may have similar pathogens as with the grape vines and the Boston ivy each species of fungus is crop or plant specific. The final fungus to be discussed here is fusarium wilt in tomatoes. This be-

the whole plant will die. Remove the infected leaves and put them in the

PECI coaches forced to make difficult decisions as many competitors put best feet forward in contention for year-end awards

Panthers celebrate leading athletes of 2013-2014 AdAm BrAmBurger Staff writer

It was a night for drama last Wednesday at the Regent Theatre as the PECI Panthers celebrated a banner year for athletics with some tight races for the school's annual sporting hardware. The past school year saw an increase of over 70 athletes participating, making it more than 200 students taking part on Panthers teams. Combined, they brought home 23 Bay of Quinte Conference medals, nine COSSA medals, and one OFSAA medal in competition. Principal Darren McFarlane spoke about that involvement in sports ultimately helping students develop in all walks of life through the reinforcement of concepts like teamwork and perseverance. "It makes you who you are as people. It makes you employable. More important it makes you Panthers — people we're proud to know have attended our school and who we are proud to have worked with," he said. "Being here tonight isn't about being an award winner. It's about being part of an athletics program, a team, and a sport. What I wish for you is the following: health, happiness, and continued success on the sport field of athletics and in the sport field of life." With that in mind, it was truly a difficult year for the coaching fraternity at PECI to select the students who excelled from among the field. When it was time for the major athletic awards — top senior, junior, and Grade 9 male and female athletes and the athlete who excels most at a single sport (inside or outside of the school) there were 40 athletes nominated, not including those in the running for the Jeremy Vincent track and field award. The senior males featured an incredibly deep field this year as 11 names were mentioned in connection with the award. In the end, voters felt that Wesley Stakes and Patrick Macpherson each deserved a share of the hardware. Stakes spent his most of his time on the soccer pitch, the badminton court, the track and field circuit, and the cross country course. Macpherson ran in different circles, playing volleyball and baseball all the way through school, swimming from Grade 9-Grade 11, and joining the basket-

ball team for a run at the COSSA silver this year. In announcing Stakes as one of the winners, viceprincipal Paul Pickard said dedication was his strong suit. Pickard said he competed through injuries, played hurt, and never missed practice. Stakes always played hard, showing a no-quit attitude that rubbed off on others who played alongside him. Stakes said he enjoyed the freedom that being involved in sports allowed him while in high school.

"It was fantastic just being able to participate and get out to do my thing," he said. "I had fun competing, cheering everyone on and just playing sports — being able to get out there and run or kick a soccer ball, doing whatever I wanted to do." Stakes said he would encourage younger athletes to believe in themselves and work hard. "Don't think you can't do something. Always preserver and put your best into it. Try to do your best,"

greAt grAde 9s Vanessa Willis made her mark in basketball, volleyball, and track and field, while John McHugh showed his talents by playing basketball, baseball, volleyball, and badminton. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

he said. "It doesn't matter if you come first, it just matters that you beat your personal best." Stakes is planning to head to Carleton University next year to study electrical engineering. He said he's hopeful he can get involved in some sporting programs there as well. Macpherson provided wheels in the outfield, timely hitting, and some great left-handed pitching for the Baseball Panthers. He also has been a dominant force on the volleyball court throughout his years. He said it's hard to quantify what his involvement in sports means to

him, mainly because it's so difficult to separate something that has been part of his persona as long as he can remember. "Sports have been everything to me. Whenever I'm not at school, I'm in the gym working, at practice, or in a game," he said. "I love it. It's the competitiveness, the drive. It's so me. Going to practice and working your butt off, you just feel great afterward." He said his best memories will be of the times when the baseball team went to OFSAA, three trips where he was able to spend time on and off the field with some of his closest

friends. His toughest moments in sport, he said, (and a great personal triumph) , likely came during a foray into basketball this year on a team that had a great amount of depth already mounted when he came aboard. "It was actually really tough. I was totally new and I didn't know much about basketball. I knew I was tall and that would help, but even Grade 11s were coming in and knowing way more than I did. By the end of the season, I was getting some serious minutes and contributing." Macpherson credits his baseball coach Matt Ronan for helping him through some tough times and allowing him to develop as an athlete. Next year, he'll put a lot of the skills he learned as a PECI athlete to use at Royal Military College, where he'll pursue a degree in aerospace engineering. "Academics and athletics go hand in hand there so it seemed like a perfect program for me," he said. Other nominees for the award included Andrew Dayton, Jesse Doornbos, Tye Eaton, Weston Ferguson, Matt Gallo, Graysen St. Pierre, Blaine Swackhammer, Bob Wilson, and Ben Wilson. The senior female who emerged victorious from a field of seven finalists knew she wanted to be an athlete from a young age. Cailey Jones watched her sister Jess compete her way into Hockey Canada's elite program and earn a scholarship to Mercyhurst College. She was hooked early. "Jess inspired me to play a lot of sports," Jones said. "I knew it was something I'd like to do." A four-sport standout, Jones managed to balance track and field and soccer in the spring, played basketball in the fall, and was the captain of the Panthers' hockey team during the winter. She also played hockey outside of the school in the Belleville Bearcats system. Athletic director Laurie Spencer said Jones "truly demonstrates the class and skill of an elite athlete" by demonstrating leadership on and off the playing surface. She commended Jones for balancing fitness, sport, and academics and serving as a positive role model to other athletes.

The Picton Gazette THURSDAY, JUNE 19, 2014

In his third year as a nominee, hoops star Reddick claims prestigious Joe Scott Award

A rare five-sport standout, Audrey Roloson, topped the voting among the junior female athletes. Roloson was a tenacious rugby player, a runner of varying distances in cross country and track and field, and a valued teammate on both the soccer and volleyball squads. "Intense, driven, and hard-working. These characteristics describe our junior female athlete of the year," said Spencer. "(Roloson) demonstrated the ability to compete at an impressive level in a wide range of sports. With continued focus and dedication, she will be a force to be reckoned with come her senior year."

AWARDS, from page 22

An example of that determination came this year when Jones realize there may not have been enough players to filed a girls hockey team. She went into recruiting mode in classes and hallways. "I asked players to join individually," she said. "It turns out we had a pretty good team. We were better than we thought and some of those players went on to get their first goals." Jones said she's loved the friendships she's made in sports throughout her time at PECI. "I love playing sports with my friends in high school. We have a lot of fun there," she said. "I love to compete and I like to play every range of sports and try some new things." Her advice to those looking to join a team is simply to "Do it," as she notes it's a big thing that she's never regretted. The other thing she said she's learned through her time is to never quit trying. Jones worked hard to make her way onto the court more in basketball and she's helped others to expand their own roles in hockey. Also, unlike the senior male winners she's not ready to call it a career. "I'm coming back for Grade 13 and coming back to play basketball and hockey," she said. "After that, I'm going to try to go to school for nursing. I'll hopefully be playing intramurals in school

and be part of other teams, maybe in hockey, outside of school." Also among the finalists for senior female athlete of the year were Amanda Ostrander, Melissa Corbin, Michaela Jackson, Melissa Paradis, Brittany Snider, and Kassidie Wood. Volleyball coach Adam Palmer had a strong crew of Grade 10 athletes on his COSSA silver-medal winning volleyball team and noted it was difficult to pick his standout athlete. Many of those same players were up for the junior male athlete of the year, which Palmer handed out to a four-sport

time." The tall, rangy Manlow was a dominant power hitter in volleyball, whom many mistakenly thought had played at the club level. He provided a sound post presence on the basketball court also and showed some promise pitching for the baseball team early on. Manlow was also a strong badminton player.

Individual teams hand out season awards at year-end banquet

PANTHERS, from page 23

Megan Foster, Alex Staley, and Hailey VanRossum were also nominated. Basketball and baseball coach Rob Garden had the pleasure of coaching John McHugh for two of the four sports he played as a Grade 9 athlete. McHugh also played badminton and volleyball. In his first year, he helped three teams reach COSSA and took home gold and silver medals. Most importantly, Garden said McHugh showed off those intangibles that coaches love to see. "This athlete is coachable, he works hard, and most important, he is the consummate team player." Chase Eaton, Keneil Warren, and Cody Woodward were also nominated. Garden also presented the Grade 9 female award to a basketball player he identified as a future star before she even got to PECI. Vanessa Willis stepped in to lead the Panthers in her first year, collecting MVP honours and competing with the top junior players in the Bay of Quinte. Willis also earned most improved player in volleyball and qualified for East Regionals in track and field, one of the nominees for the Jeremy Vincent Award for top performance in that sport. "This individual only has an upside," said Garden, speaking of Willis's immense potential. Lynsey Corbin, Olivia Crouse, Allison Hegadorn, and Casey Hegadorn were also nominated. The Panthers had a good field of athletes looking to take home this year's Joe Scott Award for excellence in a particular sport. Morgan Clarke had a breakthrough year in swimming at the provincial level, Kyle Gould drew the attention of scouts and played baseball around North America, Cole Norton raced in Trinidad where he helped an Ontario relay team win an international 4x100-metre race. Nathalie White also excelled in eventing, capturing two top-10 provincial finishes with her horse. The winner, however, was an athlete who was the face of his chosen team at PECI for five years. Taylor Reddick was successful in his third nomination in as many years for his efforts in basketball. While a Panther, Reddick earned a Bay of Quinte gold medal, a Bay of Quinte silver medal and two COSSA silver medals. he was also a fivetime Bay of Quinte all-star and a four-time COSSA participant. Outside of the school, Reddick played as part of the Ontario Basketball Association's junior development program and last year completed his final OBA season with the sixth-ranked Under-19 Kingston Impact. That effort involved driving to the Limestone City regularly for practices and games. Garden said he feels the best is yet to come for Reddick, who plans to lace up his shoes for the St. Lawrence College Vikings next season. The final major individual award given Wednesday night went to Warren, who captured gold medals in the midget 100-metre and 200metre dashes at Bay of Quinte and COSSA, then

took second place in 100metre and fourth place in 200-metre at East Regionals before injuries cooled his OFSAA dreams. He earned the Jeremy Vincent Award for excellence in track and field. Opie Awards for unselfish contributions to athletics at PECI were given to Jesse Ferrira, Lynsey Corbin, Sarah Kaesmcher, Amanda Whalen, Brett Abram, Alex Tucker, Swackhammer, Dayton, and Mitchell Reid. Athletic participation points were recognized as follows: 120 points - Stakes, Bob Wilson, Macpherson, Reid, Paradis, Dayton, Ostrander; 100 points Eaton, Swackhammer, Stakes, Reddick; 80 points Abram, Gavin Ronan, Snider, Kevin Wilson, James Pero, Gould, St. Pierre, Manlow, Jordan Strachan. A number of individual team awards were also handed out last Wednesday. The recipients are as follows... n Most improved player — Stephanie Palmateer (girls rugby), Jacob Gibbons (junior boys soccer), Graysen St. Pierre (senior boys soccer), Jessy Doornbos (senior boys volleyball), Michaela Jackson (senior girls basketball), Jared Harley (golf), Gavin Ronan (junior boys basketball), Vanessa Willis (junior girls volleyball), Lydia Snider (junior girls soccer), Corey Larabie (boys hockey), Cody Woodward (track and field), Andrew Ward (junior boys volleyball). n Most dedicated player — Mackenzie Miller (cross country female), Wes Stakes (cross country male), Amanda Ostrander (girls rugby), Tyler Allison (junior boys soccer), Wes Stakes (senior boys soccer), Andrew Dayton (senior boys volleyball), Hailey Van Rossum (junior girls basketball), Justine MacDonald (senior girls volleyball), Brittany Snider (girls hockey), Eric Jackson (boys hockey), Isaac Cairns and Max Manlow (junior badminton), Lauren Matthews (senior girls soccer), Taylor York (boys rugby), Brett Abram (tennis), Lucas Clarke (track and field), Andrew Dayton (boys baseball) n Most valuable player — Vanessa Willis (junior girls basketball), Kevin Wilson (junior boys basketball), Brittany Snider (senior girls basketball), James Pero (golf), Alicia Orsborne (junior girls volleyball), Melissa Paradis (senior girls volleyball), Cailey Jones (girls hockey), Brad Wells (boys hockey), Kassidie Woods, Blaine Swackhammer (senior badminton), Cassandra Elliot (junior girls soccer), Melissa Corbin (senior girls soccer), Kyle Gould (boys baseball), Taylor Reddick, Morgan Johnson (senior boys basketball), Max Manlow (junior boys volleyball), Sarah Kaesmacher (tennis). The impressive presentation at the Regent Theatre was co-ordinated with the support of the school’s athletic council and hosted ably by Brett Abram and Allie Kerr. A musical interlude broke apart the presentation of awards as Lynsey Corbin, Emma Woodward, and Brooke Bruce performed as a vocal trio.

ARIES (Mar 21/Apr 20) People seem to be going out of their way to be nice to you, Aries. While you may suspect they have ulterior motives, their kindness really is nothing more than good will. TAURUS (Apr 21/May 21) Taurus, approach your workload with an optimistic attitude this week. You can expect your efforts to produce positive results that don't go unnoticed. GEMINI (May 22/Jun 21) It is an uphill battle to focus on chores this week, Gemini. You would rather be out having fun, but putting off chores now will only lead to more work down the road. CANCER (Jun 22/Jul 22) Cancer, although you are capable of keeping up appearances this week, you will be lost in your own thoughts. Personal issues prove to be a distraction. LEO (Jul 23/Aug 23) Leo, serve as a diplomat this week, placing yourself in the middle of conflict because you want to help. Keep a level head and don't get swept into the argument. VIRGO (Aug 24/Sept 22) Virgo, your ability to focus is very strong, but this week you cannot seem to get your mind to cooperate. You may have a million things to think about.

LIBRA (Sept 23/Oct 23) You are tempted to join the party this week, even though you know it is probably a better idea to decline. But the prospect of socializing and having a good time is too tempting. SCORPIO (Oct 24/Nov 22) Scorpio, you often feel uncomfortable when you have too many loose ends. It may take quite a while this week to wrap up all of your obligations before you can relax. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23/Dec 21) Sagittarius, the more you ponder the decisions you have to make, the more you struggle to determine a positive outcome. Give yourself some breathing room. CAPRICORN (Dec 22/Jan 20) Career issues must be dealt with, Capricorn. You may have been running through various options, and if you have reached a decision, then go with your gut instincts. AQUARIUS (Jan 21/Feb 18) Aquarius, although everyone around you seems to be stressing out, for some reason you are able to breeze through your days without a worry in the world. PISCES (Feb 19/Mar 20) Your intuition is telling you to proceed with caution, Pisces. Watch where you step, but don't let caution take over your life.

choice to play with a halfshield or a cage in a league that will soon start universally charging players to play is a step back according to Abrams and it also hurts both the complexion and the appearance of the Junior A brand of hockey in this part of Ontario. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I'm really disappointed it's gone this far. Some motion made by some guy in some league that has nothing to do with our team, our league and our business model is impacting out operation,â&#x20AC;? he added.

League and the CJHL has it as a players choice. I think this is terrible and I think that this mandate being shoved down our throats by the Junior B and Junior C operators is terrible,â&#x20AC;? Abrams said. The Wellington Dukes have the tedious position of being under the auspices of the OJHL, OHA, the Ontario Hockey Federation, the CJHL and Hockey Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Who's umbrella do you fall under when it starts to rain?â&#x20AC;?

Abrams opined. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I don't feel we should be the only Junior A league in Canada to wear a full face mask.â&#x20AC;? Abrams thinks that if Junior B or Junior C leagues want to return to full face guards, that's a decision for that level to agree on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But the OJHL is a part of the Canadian Junior Hockey

But in spite of the positive news, Abrams was upset with the direction that could see the league go back to mandating all players wear full face shields.

If you're a Wellington Dukes fan and enjoy seeing a hockey game decided by a penalty shot competition, we have some terrible news for you. If you're a Dukes fan that loathes the shootout, well, we have some good news for you. The Ontario Junior Hockey League has announced in the wake of its annual general meeting this past weekend that the shootout will no longer decide Junior A hockey games in the province in Ontario. Starting this season, is a game is deadlocked after 60 minutes, the teams will skate 4-on-4 for five minutes. If no goal is scored in the first extra session, a 3-on-3 five minute period will be played. Still no goal? Teams will have to be satisfied with a single point and a tie. The OJHL tested the uncharted waters of 3-on-3 last

preseason and Wellington Dukes Coach and General Manager Marty Abrams said the response from fans, players and officials was positive. He added getting away from the shootout was has been on the OJHL's agenda for the past 18 months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was felt it was time to change. Teams were playing 4-on-4 very cautiously to just to get to the shootout and that wasn't the intent,â&#x20AC;? Abrams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In some games, some nights, a tie is a tie. Both teams deserve a single point and at the end of the day, what's wrong with a tie?â&#x20AC;? In other league news from the AGM, St. Mike's Buzzers president Mike McCarron tweeted that the League, after contracting a number of teams and buying out previous owners, was finally on firm financial footing. Abrams tends to agree with that assessment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I've noticed it in the last few years, We have 22 teams now that are stable, with a

Miss Me, But Let Me Go When I come to the end of the road And the sun has set for me I want no rites in a gloom-filled room Why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little—but not too long And not with your head bowed low. Remember the love that we once shared, Miss me—but let me go. For this is a journey that we all must take And each must go alone. It’s all a part of the Master’s plan, A step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick at heart Go to the friend we know And bury your sorrows In doing good deeds. Miss Me—But let me Go (unknown)

Dukes grab two new forwards as summer signing window opens for OJHL clubs Jason Parks

Staff writer

The process of restocking the Wellington Dukes hockey player cupboard has begun. The club announced a pair of acquisitions this past week as it looks to add skilled players in light of the number of graduates in the wake of the Dudley Hewitt Cup Championships earlier this spring. Dylan Mascarin and Luke Knight, a pair of 1995birth year forwards with Junior hockey experience, have been brought into the

fold for the upcoming season. Both players could add some offensive punch to a Wellington Dukes lineup that could use goal scoring after the graduation of offensive stars like Steven Deeg, Mike Robinson and Andrew McCann. In Knight, the Dukes are getting a left handed shooting forward that accumulated 46 points in 48 games for the St. Thomas Stars of the Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League last season. Knight's 20 goals in a Stars uniform and his experiences playing in Welling-

ton's Chowder Cup summer teams stuck with Dukes Coach and General Manager Marty Abrams. “That's a good league to score 20 goals in,” Abrams said. “We just didn't have room for him last season and I kept thinking back to Chowder Cup and thinking about him. He's the type of player that grows on you. He's a consistent guy that isn't flashy but does things right and always gets the job done.” Mascarin is an interesting pick up for Wellington and could be classified as something of a reclamation project. A fifth-round draft pick of the Plymouth Whalers of

the OHL in 2011, Mascarin put up gaudy numbers while playing AAA hockey for the Thunder Bay Kings, one of Ontario's top minor hockey outfits. Unable to stick in the OHL, Mascarin landed on his hometown Thunder Bay North Stars of the Superior International Junior Hockey League in 2011-2012 and picked up 24 points in 42 games for a team that hosted that year's Dudley Hewitt Cup Championship. But after that season, injuries and number of other factors slowed the left winger and he was eventually dealt to the Smiths' Falls Bears in 2012. A fresh start with the

Mascarin is trying southern Ontario and the Wellington Dukes. “We knew him from midget hockey and there was a coaching change in Trail that led to him being available,” Abrams said. “He had a difficult year with injuries and health issues but that seems to be behind him and if he can emulate what he did when he was in midget, he's going to be heck of a player.” It's been a while since Wellington tapped the Lakehead for talent but there's no denying that the unofficial capital of Sunset country has been very, very good to the Dukes. Paul Karpowich, Danny Bois, Trevor Kell, Cory Bruno and Ron Cordes are all Thunder Bay natives that have worn a Dukes jersey with distinction and Abrams is hopeful Mascarin can follow in their footsteps. “I know he is very anxious to put last season behind him,” he added.

Lemelin introduces Music Festival lineup Artistic director outlines plans at Betsy Kidd concert

Those attending the annual Betsy Kidd Benefit Concert at the Wexford House Sunday afternoon were treated twice by Prince Edward County Music Festival artistic director Stephane Lemelin. At the concert, recently named after its longtime host Kidd, Lemelin showed off his acclaimed talents behind a piano with a recital that featured works of Mozart, Beethoven, and Schubert. Also that afternoon, however, he gave them a glimpse into the schedule he has lined up for 11th installment of the festival this fall. On Friday, Sept. 19, Lemelin will make music alongside one of the festival’s oft-returning favourites, the Penderecki String Quartet. The next day cellist Denise Djokic will be in the spotlight, playing with pianist David Jalbert. The first weekend ends with a Sunday matinee by Andre Laplante, a Canadian pianist best known for his interpretation of Romantic music. A youthful duo of violinist Nikki Chooi and pianist Phili Chiu take the St. Mary Magdalene stage Thursday, Sept. 25 with a show including works from Beethoven, Prokofiev, and Ravel. Piano quartet Ensemble Made in Canada will take the stage that Friday and some local listeners may remember hearing them at a previous Port Milford concert. Lemelin lists them as part of the leading edge of the next generation of classical musi-

cians. Saturday, Sept. 27 will feature CBC radio’s Julie Nesrallah at Casa Dea Estates to perform her adaptation of Bizet’s Carmen, which she created for the intimate settings of an Ottawa pub. Carmen follows after the success of La Boheme last year. The festival wraps up Sunday afternoon with a performance by I Musici de Montreal, Canada’s premier string chamber orchestra and the largest group appearing at the festival to date, at the

Regent Theatre at 2 p.m. Festival chair Ted Schaner indicated he’s excited about what will happen Sept. 19-28. “This year’s festival is perhaps the most ambitious to date with seven regular concerts and a roster of artists that includes some of the biggest names on the Canadian classical music scene,” he said in a release.

Severe weather rips through county Jason Parks

Staff writer

While harsh weather blanketed Prince Edward County Tuesday evening, it appears Wellington and the southwestern portion of the municipality bore the brunt of a late spring storm. High winds and heavy rains ripped through area just before 8 p.m. Tuesday, leading to downed trees and widespread power outages.

In Bloomfield, the power was back on by 9:30 p.m. But the devastation in Wellington left Hydro One repair crews scrambling well into the night. While power was being restored, the municipality was tasked with clearing village streets of debris. For most of Wellingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residents, power was restored around 3 a.m. Wednesday morning but pockets of other Hydro One customers

throughout Prince Edward County were forced to go without until noon Wednesday. In nearby Rosehall, Prince Edward OPP were forced to close a portion of Loyalist Parkway Tuesday night and Wednesday morning due to debris and downed trees on the roadway. No injuries were reported as a result of the mid-June burst.

MPP says local issues, input on party leadership selection among priorities for term

and that was perhaps the most disappointing thing for me here tonight," Smith said. "The way we messaged (public sector restraint) wasn't clear and concise. Then you had the shock radio and television ads. The message got distorted from something that could have been achieved very compassionately and efficiently to slash and burn and that never was the intent."

He indicated that he has concerns about the majority result and fiscal restraint. 'I worry that if we don't get spending under control, we're going to be in a far more serious situation and it's going to take serious cuts to the public service to make that happen," he said. "What we really need is somebody to hold these guys accountable." Smith noted that Hudak

played a large role in getting him into the political spectrum, but said he was frustrated with the message and would have done things differently had he been in the resigned leader's shoes. "He ran the campaign I believe he wanted to run. Obviously it was an ineffective campaign and the numbers speak for themselves." Smith's staffers were eager to play up the statistic

that of the PC candidates returning to Queen's Park, the local candidate boosted his margin of victory more than any other candidate who won in 2011. When Hudak made his announcement about stepping down, some commented their candidate would be a good fit. Smith told the Gazette he wouldn't rule out the opportunity if the chance presented itself. "If it came up in the discussion I'd welcome it. Obviously it's a huge decision and something that would have to take a lot of thought and soul-searching with my wife and kids, Smith said. As busy as it is being an MPP, it's extremely long days and not a lot of time for leisure. Being the leader of a party is an immense responsibility and commitment." He indicated one of his priorities over the next four years is that leadership race and finding a person either from inside caucus or outside it whom the PCs can win with. His other priority is continuing to advocate on local issues like the placement of industrial wind turbines, market access for wineries and beverage producers, the stability of the health-care system, biomass projects planned for the Ban-

“anything was possible.” “He unseated a cabinet minister but I didn't let that stop me or deter me in believing,” she said. When asked why this riding stayed blue when the red wave seemed to to be splashing all over other ridings,

Thompson admitted this area was a PC area where conservative voters “don't like to vote Liberal.” The strategy appeared to be the hope some left side voters would support her in her bid to make it a one-anddone trip for Smith.

“We thought maybe more NDP supporters would have come over because this is a budget based for them and they are still going to get that budget now there is a majority,” Thompson said. While Team Thompson was licking its personal

wounds, a number of young Liberal supporters were basking in the moment of an unexpected-but welcome majority government. Adam Cheyne, a Dalhousie University student and member of the Ontario Young Liberals said Hudak's

SMITH, from page 1

Referring to the province as a "sick patient," Smith said he felt the PCs brought about the right message that Ontario needs to get serious about its debt and it needs an effective jobs plan. He took issue with the way the party put forward its plank about cutting 100,000 public service jobs — a decision that prompted public service unions to advertise heavily against Hudak and the party. "There were a number of strong and important lessons learned during this election campaign," he said, noting the party should continue to demand fiscal restraint and balanced budgets but perhaps in a different way. "I believe we may have to do it in a less combative way than we've seen in the last three or four weeks." Smith said he believes everyone knows that government is too big and too costly and even those frontline workers enraged by the potential cuts can see there's too much middle management and money simply isn't getting to the front lines in a lot of areas. He argued there needs to be buy-in from government and unions. "The status quo wasn't working and it doesn't work

croft area, and pump storage in Marmora. Though he's never sat in a majority legislature, Smith said he's actually optimistic that despite being in a scaled-back caucus "that doesn't hold any power" he might be able to get more accomplished on that front without the constant fears of elections that existed for a minority government. He's hopeful he can work alongside Wynne's Liberals. Speaking to supporters with wife Tawnya and daughters Payton and Reagan at his side, Smith thanked his team for running an "unbelievable campaign," noting there were over 100 volunteers working on manager Frank Hendry's staff to bring out the vote while running with a bit of a target on their backs. "It has been a long and hard fight, I'm happy to say we are winners in Prince Edward-Hastings," he told them. "I know you're disappointed with the outcome provincially, but let's celebrate another big win." Payne, Stewart, and Thompson all stopped by to offer congratulations in person and Smith said he respected each of them “for running a clean and respectable campaign."

Local Liberals hoped traditional NDP voters would support their candidate to see budget passed

THOMPSON, from page 1

When asked about running against Smith, the now-incumbent who trounced longtime cabinet minister Leona Dombrowsky by over 3,000 votes in 2011, Thompson went into the race thinking

plan to cut jobs to balance the budget wasn't the answer. “When it comes to the Economy, investing is the only way to make it work. Slashing budgets was never going to work,” he said amid the cheers of an announced majority government.
