More than 200 people enjoyed anecdotes and fond memories of eight local athletes as the inaugural class was inducted into the Prince Edward County Sports Hall of Fame Saturday night. There's no questioning the athletes' contributions to local sport. All eight — Debra Faye Roblin, Keith MacDonald, Samuel Charles Mulholland, John Stanley Sibthorpe, Garry Gordon Lavender, August Earl Marvin, Paul Douglas Rosebush, and Douglas J. Thompson — represented Canada nationally or internationally in addition to their prominent role in Prince Edward County sports. Hall of Fame committee chair Hugh Parliament said the committee was pleased with the all aspects of the event. “It was an exceptional kick-off to the Hall of Fame,” he said. “It will show the people of Prince Edward County that we do have a heritage in our sporting world and it's just a beautiful beginning.”

Parliament said the turnout to the event was very encouraging for the inaugural year. “We had over 200 people at our banquet and there were no negatives — it was all positives,” he said. “I'm hoping this whole experience will encourage people to nominate more people,” he said.

Saturday's honourees represented decades of excellence in sport. Roblin participated in many sports. Some highlights include Ontario Championship certificates in 1981, '82 and '83, representing Canada at the Commonwealth Game in Scotland in 1986 and becoming a national cham-

pion in 1987. MacDonald played many sports as well, but may be best remembered as a member of the 1959 World Championship of Hockey winning Belleville McFarlands. He was also an avid baseball player, winning the All Ontario Baseball Championship in 1954. Mulholland debuted for

the Philadelphia Rockets of the American Hockey League at age 19. He also excelled at baseball and attended the Brooklyn Dodger camp in 1949. A county resident for more than 50 years, Mulholland continued to play and coach many sports.

Given her family's past political leanings, you might be hard pressed to find a Dalton McGuinty fan in Olivia Fox's family. That would likely ring even more true these days as the St. Greg's Grade 8 student had her dreams dashed earlier this month after the Premier chose to prorogue Ontario's Legislative Assembly and ended her three week term as a Legislative Page after only one day. Olivia, the granddaughter of former MPP Gary Fox who served this riding from 1995-1999 in the Mike Harris government, was set to serve as a page in the Ontario Legislature after being notified this past summer she had been se-

In order to be successful in the application process, Fox was tasked with submitting an application that includes an essay outlining their achievements, involvements, and suitability for the page program. “I've always found politics very interesting,” Fox said. Each page must study and learn the faces, names, seats and ridings of the 107 MPPs before arriving at Queen’s Park on their first day. The Legislative Page Program is open to students in grades 7 and 8 who have an interest in current affairs, have an academic average of 80 per cent or higher and get along well with their peers and adults.

During a typical day in the program, Pages arrive at Queen’s Park at approximately 8 a.m., dress in their uniforms and then prepare the chamber for the morning’s debates.

www.pictongazette.com Municipality looks to replace aging fire stations THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 2012

Plan to close existing stations and build new structures to be considered Chad Ibbotson Staff writer

Following a special meeting last week, committee of the whole voted to issue a request for proposal for a project manager who will determine costs for and guide the construction of two new large fire stations. The Oct. 25 motion, if approved by council on Nov. 13, would issue the request for proposals for project management services. From there council will decide whether to pursue the project. The motion comes after a presentation from fire chief Scott Manlow who outlined the findings of a fire station location study conducted by the master fire plan working committee. The municipality currently has 12 fire stations which would be reduced to nine under the proposal. The proposal identifies for closure the Picton Station, the Mallory station near Bloomfield, the base on Station Road in Hillier, a station on Prince Edward Heights and a two-bay station in Consecon. The project manager would oversee the design, development and construction of a four-bay fire station that would be located

GRANT APPLICATION DEADLINE The County Community Foundation is accepting applications to our Community Fund from County organizations. Applicants must be a registered charity, or be applying in collaboration with a registered charity, for activities in Prince Edward County. Applicants must submit a letter of intent outlining their project, rationale and potential by 4pm on Friday, November 9. This letter precedes a detailed application.

on County-owned land at the intersection of County Rd. 29 and Loyalist Parkway in Consecon. The project manager would also help to identify a parcel of land large enough to locate a 12-bay fire station and possible future location of a land ambulance base within a 400-metre radius of the traffic circle. Private landowners would be consulted about the purchase of such a parcel. As well, the manager would oversee the design, development and construction of this project. The estimated cost of the proposal is just under $4.8 million, but could have an impact of under $3 million after the sale of surplus buildings and land. After estimated savings are factored in, the project is estimated to increase the average property tax bill by .36 per cent or $7.35 on the average tax bill of $2,042. Manlow said he was happy with the committee's response to the report. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We presented quite an in-depth report. Members of council did a thorough investigation of the report, we were there for two hours asking questions and answering concerns and every step we talked about I assured them that council will have a decision each

step before we make a move,â&#x20AC;? he said. Manlow said the projects would be conducted separately and he expects the four-bay station in Consecon to be completed first if approved. He said securing a project manager is just the first step in a long process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's just baby steps right now,â&#x20AC;? he said. Manlow said there is some urgency to getting the project underway. He said the five fire stations suggested for closure are in poor shape and in some cases don't meet the services needs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is some urgency because the Picton station and the Hillier station are inadequate and there are some concerns that need to be identified and addressed,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We're staying diligent on this and trying to work toward making sure we just keep the train moving forward.â&#x20AC;? He said the new stations will be an essential asset in allowing the fire service to mobilize its equipment more efficiently. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will be better operational efficiencies,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This will help us reduce some of our operating expenses, our maintenance expensed because we're going from 12 stations to nine station.â&#x20AC;? He said the master fire plan working committee discussed each of the municipality's fire halls. He said they looked at the condition of the buildings, calls for service, service areas, maintenance and future maintenance costs. Once the stations in need were identified, the working committee tried to identify the optimum location for new stations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Basically in Picton we're cramped for space. We can't purchase any more new equipment to put in the Picton fire station because the doors aren't wide enough to be able to do it,â&#x20AC;? Manlow said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Ś There are definitely some structural issues with the facilities, there is no room for future expansion with regard to training and it would take a significant

amount of money to bring (Picton and Hillier stations) up to where they need to be today.â&#x20AC;? The committee voted to amend the initial recommendation â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which called for council to issue an expression of interest for project management services â&#x20AC;&#x201D; voting instead to issue a request for proposal, a more direct step. However, there were differing opinions among councillors. Councillor Keith MacDonald said the project's price tag of close to $4.8 million is a major stumbling block for him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didn't vote for it,â&#x20AC;? MacDonald said, adding that the resulting project could cost the municipality millions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I don't think the County can afford such an item as that right now. They don't have a lot in reserves.â&#x20AC;? He said the project should be shelved until those reserves are replenished. In the meantime he said he would prefer to upgrade the existing buildings â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially the Picton and Hillier stations. He said he also doesn't agree with locating a new fire building near the traffic circle in Picton. He said the current building on the Heights is able to respond quickly to fires in the Glenora area, but that may not be the case with the new location. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even if we had the money I don't think it's the right spot for it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If there's a fire in Glenora with the (Heights) station closed, how are you going to get down through there on a July 1 weekend or in the summer?â&#x20AC;? Councillor Terry Shortt disagrees. He said the report was excellent and thorough and was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;made in the county solutionâ&#x20AC;? to the challenges facing the fire service. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The chief did a great job, he brought in the district chiefs and put together a committee that looked at the whole thing seriously,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As far as the decision committee of the whole made, I think they made the right one.â&#x20AC;? Shortt said the stations have to be updated. He said the municipality's fire department has always managed to take care of itself, but has reached the point where it needs help to make sure needs are being met. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's got to be done,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Ś The price tag is quite high, but it's because we've let a lot of those facilities basically stand on their own for years and now they're outdated.â&#x20AC;?

Slow Food seed fund to help budding culinary projects in the county Food banks, schools, community services to benefit from new initiative Staff writer

Slow Food The County announced last week a new partnership that will benefit residents while offering a wicked twist on its namesake foods. The chapter announced on Friday it has officially launched a new designated fund â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Slow Food The County Seed Fund as a part of the County Community Foundation's Fund Portfolio. The announcement was made at The Manse in Picton where chef Chris Wylie allowed visitors to sample a salmon dish with a wine pairing from Lighthall Vineyards. With the announcement the chapter also announced that the largest contributor to the fund will be its upcoming slow food gala with a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Slow and Sinfulâ&#x20AC;? theme â&#x20AC;&#x201C; highlighting foods from the area matched with sparkling wines produced within Prince Edward County. The event will take place Saturday, Nov. 24 at the Highline Hall in the Wellington and District Community Centre. Slow Food vice-chair Cynthia Peters said the Slow Food movement started in Italy. She said each chapter develops their own initiative to benefit the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The general mission is always good, clean and fair meaning that we celebrate good foods that farmers are paid fairly and that the food itself is grown cleanly and sustainably to help preserve the land and the community it nourishes,â&#x20AC;? she said. Peters said Slow Food is excited to partner with the County Community Foundation. The fund will support regional food projects, activities and organizations that are dedicated to the principles and issues of slow food. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have three pillars of

interest â&#x20AC;&#x201C; education programs, food start-ups, and food security,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We like to work with local organizations and schools to identify the needs to ensure the funding gets to the right programs that have the greatest need or impact; like our local food banks and our own students' programs, including healthy snacks and bread and butter workshops.â&#x20AC;? Peters said the chapter has about 80 members and it was time for Slow Food The County to branch out beyond its own programming. She said the fund allows for a more formal process to give back to the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were really pleased to put together a fund that will enable members of slow food in the community to donate to some of the programs and services that we like to support in the community,â&#x20AC;? she said. County Community Foundation board chair Joan

Hay East wagons to roll into Ontario Local agriculture reps say countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yield better than others Jason Parks

Staff writer

10 Years of Making

Life Sound Better! We built Northumberland Hearing Centres to make hearing care more accessible for you. 10 years later, our dedication to giving you the personal touch is why we are the most recommended clinic in your area. When you step into any one of our five clinics, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re part of the Northumberland family. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take care of your needs with respect and patience. We know you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be rushed, and we ensure that you are completely satisfied even after you buy.

Despite pressures from the transportation sector and the market, the president of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) is confident the Hay East project will start in earnest in the coming weeks. OFA president Mark Wales visited Bloomfield on Thursday for a joint session between the Prince Edward, Lennox & Addington, Hastings and Northumberland Federations of Agriculture and said he's confident several levels of government will be making announcements of support of the program that looks to connect donors of hay in Western Canada with those in desperate need of hay in Eastern Canada including drought ravaged portions of Ontario. The program is a reciprocal of a program in 2002 when farmers here sent hay to drought stricken cattlemen in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

Wales said he met with Canadian Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz last week and mentioned there was a surplus of hay in both Alberta and Saskatchewan as well as the Gaspe region of Quebec but that it is going to take funding to get it moving in time for livestock farmers that need it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to get it moving now before the snow sets in and it's already snowing in Alberta,â&#x20AC;? Wales told the collected regional farm leaders. As was the case a decade ago, logistical issues stand in the way of getting the hay to where it needs to go and Wales added railroad companies are waiting to see what the level of government involvement will be before commenting any services. Thanks to a mid-summer drought, the need in eastern Canada is expected to be around 70,000 bales worth although those numbers are dropping somewhat thanks to some late season cutting. In addition to logistics, the market for hay in North America is booming as US livestock operations are experiencing the same short-

ages as those in Eastern Canada are. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last week when the first shipments started moving from Saskatchewan, they were loading hay that was donated from Saskatoon and down the road in Regina, there are moving hay to Texas and farmers are getting $400 for one big square bale of hay. You don't think that puts pressure on someone donating hay? That's what we are up against. It's a different market than last time in 2002,â&#x20AC;? Wales said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are fortunate that farmers in Alberta and Saskatchewan basically had a run on hay and got three to five years supply this summer and they remember what happened ten years ago. They are saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;We've got it, you need it, it's pay back time.â&#x20AC;? Locally, the hay shortage is not as great as in other parts of the province as some early rains helped Prince Edward County farmers growers get a good first cut of hay and some farmers have been making wet hay in the past few weeks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are farmers that are far worse off in other parts of the province then here in Prince Edward,â&#x20AC;? PECFA President Tom Bakker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If farmers locally need hay, we can put them in touch with farmers that have some and there is still time to apply to the Hay East program.â&#x20AC;?

ED NEUSER

1935-2012

Ed Neuser (born Eberhard) began life on 22 December 1935. As a child, he felt that he was shortchanged since his birthday was so close to Christmas. He apprenticed as a machinist in his native Germany, and in 1957 immigrated to Canada with one dollar in his pocket that his grandfather gave him, which he kept in his wallet until the day he died. His first job in Canada was as a janitor in a hospital in Ottawa. He didn’t speak any English, but taught himself. When Ed met his partner, Rita Kaimins, in 1989, he told her that his passion was fishing and hunting, but he soon lost the taste for hunting when he looked a bull moose in the eye! Fishing took him to many rivers, lakes, and oceans. His most memorable was a stint in Alaska where he took part in a movie his friend James Lahti was making about grizzly bears. In 1983, with his love of “elbow room”, he visited Prince Edward County, saw a 100 acre farm, made an offer, and bought it. Thus he secured what he always called his “paradise”. This turned out to be the beginning of a major viticultural transformation for the County, and he was at the forefront of it, leading the way. He loved to build and restore, and the restoration of the farmhouse in Waupoos took many years. His perception of space and function was extraordinary. With each new project, the size and fit had to be just so. For the winery, the roofline had to slope down from the centre so as not to block the lake view from the house, and the building stones had to be Kingston limestone to make something that would be true to the history of the area. With many friends and neighbours, Ed opened Waupoos Estates Winery on 15 June 2001. He felt that he was living his new passion. Ed liked to tell the story with a smile about the evening he and Rita decided to try planting grapes. He said that “It was after a couple glasses of wine, or maybe it was a couple of bottles. Everybody thought we were off our rockers – we had no experience growing grapes or making wines.” Nevertheless, the half-acre plot they planted in 1993 was only the beginning of a great success story for Waupoos and the County, which will remain a lasting testament to his entrepreneurial vision, boundless energy, heartfelt dedication, and exceptional taste. “King Eddie”, as he was affectionately known by friends in Waupoos, was a fixture in the winery, along with his meeter-and-greeter dog, “Prince” Felix. Ed was a man who lived fully – yes wining and dining was important – but so was being with friends on the back porch, watching the assorted fowl strut by and saving English muffins for the goats for their treats. Ed didn’t turn local charities down. He wished well to all who were less fortunate. Under what some may have seen as a gruff exterior was a truly warm heart, which was easily recognisable to those who knew him, and will be truly missed. Ed Neuser, founder of Waupoos Estates Winery, pioneer of the wine industry in Prince Edward County, passed away at home on 24 October 2012, at the age of 76. Beloved partner of Rita Kaimins. Dear father of Gordon and partner Joanne and her daughter Ashley. Opa of Eric (mother Roni – and her daughter Rachel). Survived by sisters Sigrid and Ute and their families in Germany, and his faithful dog, Felix. Predeceased by brother Dieter and sister Ilse. The visitation will take place at Whattam Funeral Home at 1pm on Friday, 2 November, followed by the funeral service at 2pm, and a celebration of Ed’s life at 4pm at the Waupoos Winery Gazebo Restaurant. Donations can be made to St. Michael’s Hospital Foundation or the Canadian Cancer Society.

PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY

Looking back in the

Picton Gazette 80 years ago — 1932

■ The bishop-elect of the Toronto diocese in the Anglican church — the largest diocese in Canada — Rev. Derwyn T. Owen had many faithful in the county celebrating his election to that post as his wife Nora Grier Jellett was originally from Picton and his brother-in-law was serving Picton’s sherriff. ■ Radio licencing in Canada appeared poised to increase from $2 per year to $3 per year as the costs of the operations planned for the publicly-owned medium were increasing at a greater rate and might impact tax dollars. It was also suggested advertising revenue could be a way to keep the costs under control. ■ More than 1,260 barrels of apples were shipped from county producers via rail to Montreal, where they would be shipped overseas in a lucrative export market.

50 years ago — 1962

■ Picton and its surrounding areas were about to get a major boost in population as Capt. John Charles Hayter said the First Battalion of Canadian Guards was to be relocated here. The battalion, whom some called “Canada’s finest infantry,” had 900 active soldiers to be relocated from Germany as part of an estimated 2,000 people total including their families. The move to Picton Heights was considered a ‘plum posting’ to Hayter. ■ Work to repair the steeple of the Milford United Church (now Mt. Tabor) was underway with a new coat of steel painted steel added to the steeple. The project cost was $500 and the church reached out for community fundraising. ■ Rev. Calvin Bombay of the Wellington Pentecostal Church was preparing to leave for missionary work in Uganda.

30 years ago — 1982

■ A planned 14,000-square-foot addition to the Hallowell House nursing home would mean 35 more long-term care beds and the hiring of up to 30 full- and parttime staff. Owner Barney Hepburn said the construction could begin that fall to be completed the following May. ■ Two incidents of spraypainted vandalism, including an OPP cruiser, and a couple of broken windows at PECI were the most serious incidents of Halloween pranks. Stolen pumpkins, a damaged mailbox, and a vehicle covered with soap were among the other complaints police received over the holiday period. ■ A smash-and-grab raid at Mayhew’s Jewellers on a Sunday night resulted in a display case of rings taken from the premises. Police and the store owner could not give an estimate of value. ■ Morden Walker, 61, of Milford escaped serious injury when his bulldozed flipped and pinned him underneath. A bruised hand was his only lasting injury.

10 years ago — 2002

■ Due to an exceptional year in Ontario Works placements, the County received funding to install $16,000 worth of playground equipment in Milford, the village’s first playground not at the public school. South Marysburgh recreation committee members provided free labour to install the equipment at the fairgrounds. ■ The County’s public works committee decided it would allow exceptions to its waste management bylaw to allow sanitary disposal of diapers and medical items.

The jewel of Ontario’s tallgrass prairie

When Rick Beaver speaks, those around him listen. As a member of the Alderville First Nations Ojibway, Rick has a passion for the land that sustains him. When leading a hike as he did for us a few weeks ago at Rice Lake, that connection to the earth which has the ability to sustain us, is apparent and one comes away totally inspired. Rick grew up running around the natural open spaces of the Alderville First Nation. As an artist of international renown and a trained biologist Rick soon realized that his old stomping grounds were far more than just fond memories of his youth. His biology training told him that these same open spaces were, in fact, remnant black oak savanna and tallgrass prairie. As Rick explains it, the Mississauga Ojibway started to settle permanently near Rice Lake in 1835, migrating from a Methodist mission on Lake Ontario. By the late 1850s the growth of European settlement and agriculture around Rice Lake had essentially eliminated prairie and savanna. Because of the continued presence of the Mississauga Ojibway at the Alderville mission during this time, and their respect for this habitat, the largest significant remnant in south central Ontario exists today. And, so was born 12 years ago, the Alderville First Nations Black Oak Savanna and Tallgrass Prairie property, one of the most endangered plant communities in the province.

OUTDOOR RAMBLES TERRY SPRAGUE

“The idea was not a difficult sell to the Alderville First Nations,” says Beaver . The importance of this tallgrass prairie and oak savanna was already recognized in the community, and was formally acknowledged in 2000 when chief and council designated the property as a natural heritage site and continues ongoing, committed stewardship. The property now contains an impressive Ecology Heritage Centre, with its coordinator Janine McLeod busy with organizing events and leading interpretive hikes. It was the network of trails that we found so interesting as they meandered over areas rich in prairie grasses and wildflowers typical of savannas. The trails descended into small ravines called “bowls”, and over an area referred to as the hogs back, before disappearing into a black oak forest where New Jersey Tea grew and fall remnants of

plants like carrion flower could be found. As we emerged out of the forest and back onto the prairie, there was round-headed bush clover, prairie buttercup, blue lupines and butterfly milkweed. And bluebirds! They surrounded us throughout the entire three hour walk, for this savanna is bluebird haven. When not seen, the bluebirds’ presence was detected by their liquid chortles. We visited another similar area last year, just north of Castleton. Red Cloud Cemetery contains a postage stamp sized remnant of prairie, because it has been left largely untouched over the years, while agriculture all around the site has destroyed much of the original Rice Lake prairie. It might be a stretch to call this tiny corner off a seldom travelled gravel road, a black oak savanna, but it likely is as it has all the characteristics, including a handful of black oaks, as well as prairie grasses reaching high above the ancient gravestones. Restoration efforts have been underway for several years to maintain this prairie remnant, also incorporating prescribed burns that serve to destroy the invasive plants, but stimulate the prairie species by warming the soil with the black ash left behind. Fire is also an important component in the management of the Alderville First Nations Black Oak Savanna. It is a well controlled, prescribed burn which replicates the natural prairie fires of

centuries ago, which modern society has tried to suppress. The controlled burns destroy the invasive and any woody shrub species from gaining a toehold, allowing the prairie species to multiply. The oak trees are tough and can easily withstand the scorching and the heat. The layer of accumulated litter is destroyed, permitting the soil to warm, so important seeds can germinate . Grasses like big bluestem, Indian grass and switchgrass now grow more than two metres high and a diverse range of wildflowers bloom, thanks largely to the controlled burns. Prairie and savanna once covered 222 million acres of land across Central Canada and the U.S.A., an area almost equal to the total land mass of Ontario. Today, with less than one percent of this grassland habitat remaining, it is one of the world’s most endangered ecosystems. This column congratulates the Alderville First Nations community and its partners on their efforts to preserve this 50-hectare site. Through their untiring efforts, the Alderville First Nations Black Oak Savanna is now the largest and best example of tallgrass habitat in the Rice Lakes Plains Natural Area.

MONDAY night was a prime example of what can happen when people don’t plan ahead. With news reports that Hurricane Sandy might be one of the harshest storms to hit Ontario in years, people scrambled out of their homes to find supplies. They rushed to grocery stores with vigour and were prepared to pay any price and battle unusual crowds just to ensure they could come up with the food and essential items they very well could have bought in advance and had tucked away for such an occasion to arise. Of course, with the strength of the storm that actually hit, that response looked a bit silly, but had this region actually suffered more damage, no amount of preparation is enough — it’s just a question about the degree in preparedness. Last Thursday, committee of the whole found itself facing a discussion on the future of the County’s fire halls where, similarly, planning could make all the difference, albeit there isn’t the added element of the unpredictability of weather. Just as it is inevitable there is a risk of a natural disaster, it is also inevitable that facilities built decades ago likely aren’t going to meet the purpose they were built to accommodate forever. Thus, it would seem prudent that someone examines the options before there is a threat and makes recommendations for how to deal with an impending crisis situation long before it gets to that mark. Fire chief Scott Manlow and others on the municipality’s master fire plan working committee seem to have got it right by examining ways to replace the facilities and to find optimal efficiencies in doing so, which ultimately, in their business might make the difference between saving lives and property and having to deal with disappointment and disaster. Some councillors might balk at the strategy to move further along on the $4.8-million project ( a cost mitigated by potential sales opportunities considered in the plan) given the County already is in a tight financial situation. That’s understandable and even commendable given the pressures on the public purse, but down the road, the cost will most definitely be greater and should the situation become worse to the point where it becomes a crisis, it would likely put more of a strain on the municipality to act out of panic and necessity, rather than to follow a structured plan. Developing a plan and putting out a request for proposals to carry it out is not committing the municipality to build, however, it is taking steps to ensure stakeholders are aware of the need to build, the best ways to go about doing so, and the financial ramifications of those steps. Essentially, it’s like putting away supplies for a very rainy day. The trick for councillors, now, is to extend that approach to planning through all departments and create a capital work plan for the next decade. With spending prioritized and mapped out over time, it will be easier to determine if an expense is truly necessary and to avoid rushing to act out of panic.

Area residents show kindness that makes an impression

Since I moved to Picton several years ago I have been regularly astonished at how polite, friendly and efficient the young trades guys are. It also often happens that a young guy will open a door or give you a smile, even though I’m long past the interesting stage. The other day I had an idea how that might have come to be. Just before the forecast hurricane I decided that I desperately needed a generator for my sump pump. At Canadian Tire I was informed that generators were sold out in the

CHRISTINE RENAUD

whole Quinte region. A gentleman eased himself into the conversation and after we spoke for a few minutes, he offered me his generator even though he might have needed it himself. He brought it to my house and showed me how to hook it up and operate it. I was hugely relieved and avoided a very anxious night. With examples like that, it’s no wonder there are polite kids around. What a great place the county is! M Gallagher Picton

Trust fund successful in bid to purchase Purdy’s A-Frame

Congratulations to the Al Purdy A-Frame Trust for the successful purchase of the Purdy cottage at Roblin Lake Purdy, who passed away in 2000, is one of Canada’s best known poets. In early October we were told about the up-coming purchase of the A-Frame spearheaded by Jean Baird nationally, and Michele Lintern-Mole in the County. The purchase has now been finalized and this irreplaceable cultural landmark has been saved from likely demolition. Hastings and Prince Edward Land Trust and the Prince Edward County Stewardship Council partnered with the Friends of East Lake for a fundraiser held in November 2011 at the Regent Theatre, featuring Margaret

Atwood. Close to half of the proceeds were donated to the Al Purdy A-Frame Trust. Margaret Atwood said in her show, which she titled ‘Bulldozing the Mind: the Assault on Cultural and Rural Heritage’, “You save what you love!”. It’s great news for the county that the Al Purdy AFrame was – and is – loved, and will be preserved for future generations. Thank you to the Land Trust, the Stewardship Council, and the A-Frame Trust for helping to save an important part of the county’s cultural and rural heritage.

I am a member of The War Amps Operation Legacy, which consists of young members and graduates of the Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program who are dedicated to preserving and commemorating Canada’s military heritage by teaching younger generations about our nation’s wartime history. I have had the privilege to learn about Canada’s military heritage and also know what it is like to live without a limb – a strong bond that I share with war amputee veterans. CHAMP was started by war amputee veterans and I want to give back to those who have given me so much. The War Amps has produced a number of interna-

tionally award-winning documentaries about Canada’s military heritage. D-Day: The Story of the Canadian Assault Troops tells the story of how the Canadian troops got farther inland than any other force. The story is told by a soldier who fought with the troops in Normandy and gives a Canadian perspective on this important day in history.

Though the Quinte region didn’t receive snow in the wake of Hurricane Sandy like other parts of North America, sub-zero temperatures are starting to appear in local forecasts. Thankfully, some 159 youth in Prince Edward County will receive new winter outerwear beginning this weekend, thanks to the support of generous local donors to the Adopt-a-Child program The program, which is now in its 25th year partners the police services from Prince Edward, Belleville, Stirling-Rawdon, and Centre Hastings with community donors who bring in either clothing or donations to help children in their area from families that may not otherwise been able to afford it. This year, Prince Edward OPP community services officer Const. Kim Guthrie said demand has been up, jumping to 159 from about the 135 range. Across the

LOCAL NEWS TIP?

region, more than 1,200 sets of coats, boots, gloves, and hats were handed out. Guthrie said each year, the Adopt-a-Child program takes registrations in September from parents or custodial caregivers of the children in question. Lists are cross referenced with those at other local agencies also. “We try very hard to not have any duplication of services,” said Guthrie, who added Adopt-a-Child only helps youth up to age 12, while other campaigns like the Children’s Aid Christmas Angel Tree often provide for youth in their teens. Guthrie said the collaborative works hard to keep the money donated within the

region, adding that many stores now do their best to offer Adopt-a-Child great deals on coats for next year. The collaborative has some shoppers authorized to go out at the end of the winter season to buy coats a year in advance. Over the years, Guthrie said the community has really rallied behind the cause. “It is completely funded by the generosity of our communities,” she said. “We have some corporate support, but typically, there are a lot of individuals who come and see what they can do.” Those offering donations to the campaign are eligible to receive a charitable tax receipt.

Mayor suggest council revisit solar panels at rink Project cost has decreased since Wellington community centre was built ChadIbbotson

Staff writer

Solar panels may yet be in the future of the Wellington and District Community Centre. Committee of the whole voted Oct. 25 to have municipal staff come back to the Nov. 15 committeeof-the-whole meeting with a report on the potential for the installation of solar panels on the building and for the report to include cost

analysis and possible sources of funding for the project and a proposed timing of installation. The issue was brought to the table by mayor Peter Mertens. He said when the panels were being discussed in the past, the costs were found to be too high. He said said back then there were six responses to the request for proposal. It came down to a proposal of a 51.5 KW array containing

224 panels on south wall and flat portion of the roof. The install cost of $8.17 per watt was found to be too high and the project was set aside. Mertens said those costs have gone down considerably, to about $3 per watt. “Which makes that whole thing more feasible,” he said. He said the initial proposal would have cost around $430,000 once installed. “Once we borrowed and financed that purchase over 20 years, our finance department did an analysis and we would pretty much break even after 20 years. For that reason we chose not to proceed,” Mertens said. “Now even though the (Feed-in Tariff contract) price per kilowatt hour has

dropped from 71.3 cents to 54.8 cent the financial model is a much different model.” He said the cost of producing the solar panels has gone down while the efficiency of the panels has gone up. “They're saying now with the panels and the inverters there's about a potential 15-20 per cent increase in efficiency,” he said. “Those two things might make this a viable project again.” Mertens said the project would be classified under “small FIT.” He said grid capacity has also been specifically set aside for projects which have the municipality as the proponent. Councillor Terry Shortt said he would like to see a financial model for the project based on current production rates of solar panels in the report. “One thing about solar panels at this time is it something that has to be handled fairly quickly because Ontario Hydro is continually adjusting the rates for contracts,” he said. “The small FIT programs are only going to have a small window of opportunity.” Councillor Barry Turpin said council should develop and outline clearly its set of rules to award two points under the FIT 2.0 guidelines before it goes ahead with the project. “We shouldn't be going ahead and giving ourselves two points if we're not prepared to give a private investor his two points,” he said. The report will be on the table at the Nov. 15 committee-of-the-whole meeting which begins at 1 p.m.

Quaiff said fewer overtime hours, decrease in PSU drive costs down

Police services board anticipates savings this year Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

With rising policing costs becoming a concern for many municipalities, the Prince Edward Police Services Board is anticipating a large savings this year and says costs seem to be trending downward. Police services board chair Robert Quaiff said after a recent semi-annual review it is anticipated policing costs will come in about $90,000 below budget. That money would be credited back to the municipality. He said the reason for the reduction comes down to fewer overtime hours and a decrease in Provincial Services Usage (PSU) — which is when officers are called outside of the municipality. “That get's credited right back to the municipality,” Quaiff said. “The board is really, really pleased with the curtailment of the overtime and the cost savings so far.” The total actual semiannual policing cost for this year was $2,392,432. For the full year 2011 the actual cost was $4,732,629. Quaiff said the board also received the formula for the 2013 Ontario Provincial Police contract, which includes a reduction in costs of 1.3 per cent per officer. He said that equates to $1,900 per officer for the year and, with the municipality covering the cost of 27 officers, it could lead to a savings of close to $51,000. “It's going to be significant for us compared to this year,” Quaiff said. “By and large the OPP are starting to do a better job, they're starting to get the message that municipalities are really concerned with the costs of policing.” Quaiff recently did a

review of the cost of policing among municipalities similar in size and population with Prince Edward County. He found that the municipality's cost of $382.63 per household was the lowest among the six municipalities included. The highest among them was Orillia at $550.35 per household. “Our municipality fairs very, very well against others,” Quaiff said. He said he hopes the trend of lower policing costs continues. “The OPP are looking for ways to provide better efficiencies for municipalities. One of those savings, it sounds crazy, but they were able to buy a whole fleet of Crown Victorias and they got them at a very low cost because they closed that line of manufacturing,” he said. “That really saved them a lot of money.” He said the police SUVs are often hybrid vehicles, which saves on fuel costs. The municipality's seven auxiliary officers are also being utilized to lower costs, Quaiff said. He said auxiliary officers were used during the Prince Edward County Marathon to close roads and offer the same services which have been conducted by paid officers in the past. Overall, Quaiff said policing costs are currently trending down, but the costs are in flux. “We've still got six more months to go. I know there are a couple of second degree murder trials coming up and how much overtime that's going to create we don't know,” he said. Locally, he said the OPP are going to be focused on enforcing roadway safety and community safety.

Sibthorpe is best known for his part in starting the Picton Outboard Racing Club and for work with the Gold Cup Races from 1972 to 1992.

He also oversaw the Wellington Dukes team which advanced to the Royal Bank Cup in 2003. Marvin began trap shooting in 1957. He won singles awards in Ontario seven times from 1964-1977. He won the Ontario Provincial Trap Shoot Association veterans’ doubles trophy in 1979 in Hamilton. Rosebush was a product of the county's minor hockey system. He played Junior A for the Wellington Dukes before taking the ice for the Bakersfield Condors of the East Coast Hockey League where he played from 1999 until 2006.

of 85.709 miles per hour. First to the podium was longtime councillor and well-known athlete MacDonald, who said he was surprised and honoured to be among the first inductees. “I wasn't a great athlete, I gave it all when I played and I had the opportunity to play on some wonderful teams here,” he said. “As I said on Saturday night, the reason I was there was not because of myself, but because of my teammates.” MacDonald said the a Hall of Fame for county athletes was long overdue and said the future will bring

Fox starts petition to see pages reappointed to Queen’s Park

PAGE, from page 1

In September, Fox attended her training session with 20 other students; she was also tested to be sure she knew the required information for each of the MPPs, cabinet ministers and chambers staff. Fox arrived in Toronto a few days prior to Oct. 15 and was all set to stay with her extended family for her threes week session. But, after serving her first day and reveling in the excitement of her new position, Fox's dreams came crashing down in one phone call. “I was shopping that evening and my grandma called me with the bad news that the legislature was going to be prorogued and I would be coming home early,” Fox said. “I got really teary eyed because I was only a page for one day. Who wouldn't be upset?” Afterward, looking back on the day, Fox admits it was a unique experience to be Queen's Park Oct. 15. “I was there when Dalton McGuinty resigned, who else can say that?” Prince Edward-Hastings MPP Todd Smith formally introduced Fox as a page from his riding in the Legislature that fateful day, not having any idea that would be the day the Premier would resign his post and put provincial government on hold. “It's really disappointing I know how much work they put in in advance to get ready for this opportunity,” Smith said “The proroguing of the legislature is unfortunate for a great number of reasons and this is one of them.” Smith added he would be inviting Fox and her family to spend a day at

Queen's Park later this month and would continue the tradition of treating them all to lunch at the legislature dining room. “She and her family will get a chance to experience that but, overall its a real lost opportunity for her,” he added. Undeterred, Fox has initiated a petition that calls for the legislature to install all the pages that were to take part in the program to be reappointed “to allow them to fulfill their duties and dreams of becoming a legislative page.” A copy of the petition is available to be viewed and signed at the Gazette office.

many more inductees. “Prince Edward County with it's new facilities will certainly turn out some great athletes,” he said. Parliament he hopes the Hall will serve to keep alive the accomplishments of the local athletes. “Hopefully this will rekindle peoples' memories as they look at that wall,” he said. “Personally, some of these sports are lost as far as every day occurrences here … I look up to those people on that wall.” He said putting the hall together and celebrating the sporting exploits of county

athletes was a common goal on the Hall of Fame committee. He said the enthusiasm of the group helped to make the event a success. Parliament said every year the committee will call for nominations from the community with the deadline for those submissions being March 31 of each year. Each submission will be considered each year during the selection process, though he said the committee will likely induct fewer athletes per year in the future. “I don't know exactly what we'll scale down to next year because that will be a decision of the committee. We will have to take a look at that, but we'll probably want to spread this out over the years so we have a few every year to put on there,” he said. In addition to the inductees, the Hall also honoured some Prince Edward County student athletes. Danielle Willis, Grade 9 female athlete of the year; Grayson St. Pierre, Grade 9 male athlete of the year; Cailey Jones, junior female of the year; Bob Wilson, junior male athlete of the year; Chelsie Wood, senior female of the year; Stacy Williams, senior female athlete of the year; and Tyler Philip, senior male athlete of the year. “Overall it was an excellent experience and we've heard no negative comments,” Parliament said.

Assistive Devices Program helps with cost of scooters, other health equipment

The column last week was on the safe use of medical scooters by seniors. If you're wondering how to get help to purchase a medical scooter you can look to the Assistive Devices Program (ADP), a program operated by the Ministry of Health & Long-Term Care. The objective of the Assistive Devices Program is to provide consumer centered support and funding to Ontario residents who

have long-term physical disabilities and to provide access to personalized assistive devices appropriate for the individual’s basic needs. Devices covered by the program are intended to enable people with physical disabilities to increase their independence through access to assistive devices responsive to their individual needs.

Where manual mobility is precluded because the individual cannot propel a manual wheelchair independently to meet his/her basic and essential mobility requirements as defined by ADP for funding purposes, then power mobility may be explored. If power mobility is the basic and essential requirement for the individual the “authorizer” may prescribe a power wheelchair/base, a power add-on device, or a

Factors that will influence the prescription details include the applicant's medical condition and prognosis, and seating needs now, and in the foreseeable future. ADP funding should only be requested for a power scooter when: power mobility is basic as defined by the ADP for funding purposes; and the applicant does not have seating requirements now or in the foreseeable future; and the scooter is not intended to be a replacement for a car or another transportation modality.

Talk to me today about using the equity in your home to reposition your debt and improve your cash flow.

There are certainly circumstances when renting a home makes sense, but for many Canadians, homeownership is the more fulfilling and financiallysavvy choice. According to a recent survey commissioned by the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA), more than 70 per cent of renters in Ontario reported they would like to buy a home in the future. The dream of homeownership is clearly alive and well and for many reasons buying a home is still the best investment you can make, according to Ron Abraham president of OREA. “For one, a home is a terrific forced savings plan. Each mortgage payment buys you a larger portion of an appreciating investment and, when you’ve paid off the mortgage, you fully own a sizeable asset,” says Abraham. “Furthermore, the freedom and security of one day owning a home outright is enough incentive for most people to work hard and find a way to save a

And let’s not forget the pride and sense of accomplishment that comes with being able to renovate and update your home to make it truly your own. Supporting new buyers in getting the home they want is one of the most rewarding parts of my job.” More information about the benefits of homeownership is available at www.howrealtorshelp.ca.

down payment for a first home.” Once the mortgage is paid off, the only expenses remaining are taxes, maintenance and utilities which a retirement income can easily cover. Ideally, most homeowners who have paid off their mortgage have money left over each month to use for travel and other hobbies. There are several government programs available to help first time buyers purchase a home including the Government of Canada’s Home Buyers’ Plan which allows qualified buyers to withdraw a maximum of $25,000 tax free from their RRSPs to purchase or build a house. Other government incentives include the Home Buyer Tax Credit (HBTC), Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) mortgage loan insurance and the Ontario government’s Land Transfer Tax rebate. “With these home buying incentives, today’s low interest rates and a

Buying a home? Work with a professional

Once you’ve made the commitment to buy a home, you may find the steps that follow complex, confusing and quite overwhelming. However, they don’t have to be. “The purpose of working with a Realtor when buying a home is to simplify the process and ultimately buy a home that fits your price range and needs,” says Ron Abraham, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association. “When working with a Realtor, you have direct access to a wealth of real estate information and experience that you can tap into throughout your home buying process, whether that’s a few days, weeks or even months.” Abraham advises homebuyers to

accelerate their home buying process by taking advantage of the many services that a Realtor offers, some of which include: Helping you decide: a Realtor will review your list of needs and wants in a home, and help you determine the price range of homes you can consider. Narrowing your search: most Realtors specialize in certain neighbourhoods and will be able to answer any questions about the market, or area you’re interested in. Weeding through the options: a Realtor will explore all of your options and preview properties before showing you only those homes that fit your budget and match the list of

needs and wants you’ve prepared. Setting up appointments: a Realtor can set up private viewings of candidate homes. Making sense of the financials: a Realtor can explain the various financing alternatives available and provide up-to-date information on interest rates and mortgage options. Acting as a mediator: a Realtor can head off potential conflicts between you and the seller, draw up a legally binding contract and assist you with all the details required to complete the transaction successfully. “Do your research before selecting a Realtor,” advises Abraham. “Visiting open houses or making

Panthers settle for silver following one-goal final

Shootout win over rival Trenton boosts confidence PECI must refocus after Centennial loss to prepare for COSSA play

Dukes beat two top clubs in three days

Jason Parks

Staff writer

If Wellington Dukes head coach and general manager were going to script this past weekend's set of games against the Trenton Golden Hawks and Aurora Tigers, it would've probably looked something like this. On Friday in Trenton, Wellington would have to stay disciplined against the No.3-ranked Junior A franchise in Canada, keeping the game close until the final moments when an exceptional play or at least a fortuitous bounce would benefit the visitors. On Sunday, Wellington would need to get ahead and stay ahead of the Aurora Tigers, a team that has come back to bite them in the late stages of three of the last four head-to-head contests. While he probably won't be mistaken for Norman Mailer anytime soon, that's exactly what Abrams and the Wellington Dukes (10-71) laid out this weekend. Friday night, playing in the unfriendly confines of the Duncan McDonald Memorial Gardens, Wellington staged a third period comeback on the the host Trenton Golden Hawks, going on to defeat them 2-1 in a shootout. Two nights later at the Essroc Arena, the Dukes managed and maintained a lead on the pesky Aurora Tigers throughout most of the second half of the contest and a rookie managed to add an important insurance goal in the closing minutes of a 5-2 win, thwarting any ideas of another Tiger comeback. The wins put Wellington (21 points) within three points of East Division second-place holders Kingston (24) and the locals still have a pair of games in hand on the Vees. Trenton leads the East with 27 points. In terms of the win Friday, Abrams was happy to see the Dukes stick to the game plan.

Combine a motivated Centennial Secondary School club, the remnants of Hurricane Sandy and the astro turf of Mary Ann Sills Park on a soggy day and you have just enough to beat the PECI Panthers. The senior boys soccer squad wwas shaded by the plucky Chargers on Tuesday afternoon, 2-1 as the Panthers were unable successfully defend their crown that signifies the top high school soccer team in the Quinte area. PECI coach Paul Pickard said Centennial changed its attack from the regular season contest which the Panthers won and he added the sopping synthetic field added its own challenges. “C.S.S. played a much tighter game than last time.” Pickard said. “Their mid fielders did not give us any room to maneuver or to move the ball to the outside. The weather was not an issue but playing on wet turf was a huge factor for the boys. Bounces are bigger and the ball moves much more smoothly on the turf which was difficult for us to overcome.” Down 1-0 after the half, PECI came to life in the second. Pushing the attack, the Panthers took to Chargers to the limit time and again until a hand ball in the area

MakIng a Challenge PECI Forward Damien Wadforth challenges for the ball during the Panthers 2-1 loss to the Centennial Chargers in the Bay of Quinte Senior Boys Soccer finals. Wadforth scored the Panthers lone goal. (Jason Parks/Gazette staff)

afforded PECI with a penalty kick. With the game hanging in the balance, PECI's Bryce Van Grootheest was unable to beat Charger keeper Aaron Wright and Centen-

nial maintained their 1-0 margin until about the 70 minute mark. Prowling the area again, PECI standout Damien Wadforth managed to get a toe on the ball during a

mad scramble to get PECI even at 1-1. But give the Chargers full credit for answering the bell. After trying to protect the one-goal lead, Centennial pushed to get back in

the driver's seat and did at the 75th minute when an errant PECI clearing attempt deflected directly to an awaiting Charger striker who made no mistake booting home the game winner. Other than the title, the loss doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things as PECI still qualified for the Central Ontario championships Monday and Pickard hopes the setback will provide the extra motivation needed to on the bigger stage. “The players on this team have a lot of heart and skill to go with it. We are proud of our successes this season and know what it takes to win,” he said. PECI made the finals by downing St. Paul's last week 3-1 in the Bay of Quinte semis. Tied 1-1 after one, the Panthers took the game to the Falcons in the second half but came up dry until a Falcons defender inadvertently touched the ball in the area. Van Grootheest converted a penalty kick which stood up as the game winner at about the 72nd minute and Wadforth added another goal with a nice touch in the game's dying moments to give PECI some insurance. PECI takes on St. Mary's Catholic Secondary Monday at 10 a.m. In Port Hope. If the locals should win the COSSA semi final, they will take on the winner of the St. Theresa-Port Hope High School game at 1:30 p.m. With a trip to the 2013 Ontario AA championships in Stratford on the line.

Pirates dump Napanee, but fail to ground Jets in Amherstview Picton takes a single point in road shootout loss Sunday Chad Ibbotson

While they let a two-goal lead slip away this week, the Picton Pirates managed to secure three out of four points and still lead the Empire League after playing a quarter of the season. The team took a 4-1 victory over the Napanee Raiders on Thursday before falling to the Amherstview Jets in a wild 5-4 shootout loss on Sunday. “We were happy taking three out of four points this week,” said Pirates coach and general manager Ryan Woodward. “I'm a little disappointed (on Sunday) letting a point slip away, but every game is a tough game in the Empire and the guys

Call Cheryl or Paula to book this premium ad spot! 613-476-3201

are finding a way to accumulate points.” Thursday's contest saw the Raiders put in a much better effort than the week prior where they were badly outplayed. The teams played to an even score through the first period, despite trading lots of chances. The shots were 1510 in favour of the Pirates in the opening frame. However, it was Napanee getting the lead to start the second with Ryan Thistlethwaite scoring just over a minute in. The Pirates didn't stay down for long. A minute and change later Ryan Sizer netted the tying goal with Brian Bunnett picking up an assist. “It's a 60-minute game,”

Woodward said. “We had an okay first period, but we had an excellent second period. The guys just stuck to the game plan and played the game hard along the walls. We were able to create some scoring chances eventually.” With less than a minute remaining in the period Eric Hayes fired a shot by Raiders goalie Mike Brogee. Kyle Dekeyser and Geoff Cleminson got the assists on the play. Geoff Cleminson added a goal five minutes into the third to increase the Picton lead to three. Bunnett and Andrew Burness had the assists.

Abbott Girduckis banged home his fifth of the season, taking a Jake Marchment feed and beating Sinclair in close at 15:07 to give the Dukes a much desired two goal cushion. Craig Campbell picked up an empty netter in the game's dying moments to make it 5-2 Wellington. Round the 'Roc: Wellington was a perfect five for five on

DUKES, from page 24

“I think we executed our game plan to a tee in terms of what we discussed in practice, meetings and video,” Abrams said. “To be honest I think we were full credit for getting that first point and it was nice to get the second one in the shootout.” Trenton jumped ahead early when Mike Nedoszytko took the puck down low in the Wellington end and bull dogged his way to the front of the Duke cage, beating Larose just 2:43 into the game. The game would remain 1-0 in Trenton's favour through to the end of the second, although Wellington appeared to be matching the Golden Hawks stride for stride. In the third, Wellington finally broke through the Hawks and netminder Victor Adamo when Kyle Paat's shot banked off Parker Wood and caromed into the Trenton net just 25 seconds into the third. With a valuable two points on the line, the clubs went on lockdown in the third, trading the odd chance but neither side produced much in terms of grade A scoring chances. In overtime, the teams continued to play it tight and a shootout was needed to decided the contest. The only goal scorer of the penalty shot contest was the second shooter, Mike Soucier. After Larose stopped Hawk sniper Jordan Minello, Soucier beat Adamo with a low , hard wrist shot to the blocker side. Larose made great stops on Brandon Scott and Sammy Banga in rounds two and three to give the

Dukes and the 100 or so Wellington faithful something to stand up and cheer about in the Duncan MacDonald Memorial Gardens as Wellington took the win 21. To hold the high-flying Hawks to a single goal through 65 minutes, Wellington was spot on in their own end and Abrams lauded Larose and his teammates for attention to detail in their own end. “Larose played solid and we helped him by keeping them to the outside for most of the night. There were not a whole lot of chances on either side but Matt made big the saves when he had to, an he gave up no bad goals which is the sign of real good goaltender,” He said. On Sunday, Abrams said

he was pleased with his club's efforts in beating back the Tigers. “I was real pleased with the effort and I think Josh Gervais' return to the lineup helped generate some spark,” Abrams said. Out since the preseason with a shoulder injury, Gervais made his 2012-13 debut, picking up an assist in Wellington's 5-2 win. Wellington got on the board first early in the first period. With the Dukes on the rush while on the power play, Paat decided to shoot rather than set up and the decision paid off. Paat collected a Jan Kaminsky feed and blasted it through Brett Sinclair at 5:18 to open the scoring. Later in the period, Auro-

PIRATES, from page 24

With just over a minute to go the Raiders pulled their goaltender for an extra attacker, but Eric Hayes found the back of the net to give the Pirates the 4-1 lead. With Hayes back on the bench, Woodward said the forward adds experience and hard work. “He plays with a lot of sandpaper. He plays hard at both ends of the ice and he's not fancy, he's just hardnosed and gets to the dirty areas,” he said. “He was rewarded on Thursday. Sunday's contest took a similar path. The shots were close in the first period with Picton holding a slight advantage, but neither team was able to find the net. That changed early in the first period when Mitchell Smith scored a power-play goal just under three minutes in.Jacob Panetta increased the lead to two shortly after. However, the game took a turn with six minutes to go in the middle frame. Panetta and Brandon Peever were sent to the box along with Amherstview's Ryan Bernard who were each given a minor for roughing after the whistle. On the ensuring four-onthree power play Kyle Pengelly narrowed the lead to a goal. Cassidy Bruni picked up where Pengelly left off in the third, scoring two goals four minutes apart. Just over a minute later Mitchell Murphy netted another one for the Jets and

While the rookie is a long shot to make the allstar club, the experience will be a benefit for the 17-yearold...Larose was named Wellington's player of the Month for October. Since joining Wellington, the Nanaimo, B.C. native has posted a 6-1-0 record in seven starts.

COLE BOLTON

just like that it was 4-2 Amherstview. “A lapse of five or six minutes and a few goals go in the back of our net,” Woodward said. “The guys responded well down the stretch, but you can't blow a lead like that down the road.” But Woodward praised the team for the hard work for the final 10 minutes of the period. Jack Davison narrowed the gap with a goal at 10:56 to get the team back on track. With the seconds ticking away the Pirates went to the power play. With seven seconds on the clock and the Picton goaltender on the bench in favour of an extra attacker Smith was able to find the back of the net and send the game to overtime. Unfortunately, the Pirates couldn't complete the comeback and Ryan Fletcher scored the only goal of the shootout to secure two points for the Jets. Picton next faces Deseronto in a home-and-home series – 7:30 p.m. in Picton on Thursday and Friday night at 8:30 in Deseronto. The club also announced

this week that Cole Bolton would be departing the club to represent Canada at the Junior Men's Softball World Championship in Panama, Argentina from Nov.1 to Nov. 10. Bolton said Team Canada has been scouting major provincial and national tournaments for years. They brought together 30 athletes for a selection camp in August. The final team is composed of 17 players. Bolton will be pitching and will play third base in the tournament. “They will be counting on me to play a versatile role. They will want me to bring lots of speed to the base paths, pitch whenever needed, and play sound defensively on third base,” Bolton said._“I got a call from head coach Tom Doucette. Tryouts ended on the Friday and cuts were being made on the Sunday. I got up early and waited by the phone waiting to hear one way or the other,” he said. “He was supposed to begin making calls at noon EST and I didn’t get my call until after 3p.m. That wait was nerve-racking.”_Woodward said he was the organization was proud of Bolton's achievement. “Like all multi-talented elite athletes, Cole is a competitor and natural leader,” he said. “He has won major championships in both hockey and baseball; he knows what it takes to win and to be part of a team. We couldn’t be more proud of him and we hope he brings home the gold.”

ra got on the board when Daniel Clairmount banged home a wrap around goal that snuck under the pad of Dukes starter Matt Larose 17:21. In the second, Wellington started to pull away from Aurora. First, it was Paat again, sending a seeing eye shot through a partially screened Sinclair at 4:09. Then, it was Kaminsky ripping a wrist shot that Sinclair initially got a piece of but then deflected behind him and across the goal line at 7:21 to make it 3-1 in favour of the hosts. Aurora's Trevor Hughson responded with a goal at 10:21 to get the Tigers back in

OBITUARY

Mildred Mae Brummell

was born August 15, 1917 in South Marysburgh Township, the only daughter of Herbert and Pearl (Dainard) Jeffery. After her marriage to Keith Brummell in 1937, she resided the rest of her life on Brummell Road until she moved to Picton in 2009 after the death of her husband. She was a dedicated farmer’s wife and worked hard to provide a good life for the family. She was an active community worker. She was a life member and an officer of the Order of the Eastern Star where she acted as pianist for many years. She was a loyal member of the Cherry Valley Lions Club where she and Keith were in charge of the weekly euchre parties for many years. She was very proud to be made a life member of this organization as well. She took an active role in the activities of Cherry Valley Church. She was a leader of the Bluebird’s Club, the United Church Women and the Couples’ Club. She was always ready to help in any way. She was a loyal Blue Jay fan and spent many hours cheering on her favourite baseball team. Mildred passed away at Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital on September 11, 2012 after a brief illness, having recently celebrated her 95th birthday party. A service to celebrate her life was held September 13th at Cherry Valley United Church where she was a member. The service was conducted by Reverend Phil Hobbs and David Colwell. Some of Mildred’s favourite hymns were sung, as well as two selections sung by David. Eulogies were given by her daughter Sharon and granddaughter Penny. Her four grandsons, David May, Scott Gannon, Jamie Brummell and Chris Allworth, assisted by Jodie Pringle and Walter Monroe, acted as pallbearers. She was laid to rest in Cherry Valley Cemetery beside her beloved Keith. Mildred was predeceased by her husband Keith, her parents and her two brothers, Ross and Raymond Jeffery. She leaves to mourn, her daughters Joan (late Tom), May, Sharon (John) Gannon, Brenda (Paul) Bibeau and her son Harley (Liz). Also missing Grandma are ten grandchildren, eighteen greatgrandchildren and many nieces, nephews and friends. A life well lived leaves its gentle pattern on the hearts of all and the world is a lovelier place because one person touched it with warmth and goodness and grace. Jessica St. James

Atom AEs win Recharge With Milk Tournament in exciting overtime fashion The Ainsworth Funeral Home Atom AE Kings werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the most gracious of hosts this past weekend but few around these parts are concerned. The local minor hockey team captured the A championship of this past Weekend's Recharge With Milk Dairy Producers of Prince Edward County in dramatic fashion, downing the Pelham Panthers in overtime 2-1. Jackson Fox and Ryan Cunningham worked to set up Cole Lavender at 1:37 of overtime to lift the locals past the Western Ontario club and give them their first tournament championship of the 2012-13 season. After a scoreless first, the Kings looked to be in fine shape when Case McFarland blasted home a Tristan Lavender feed at 3:21 of the second and staked Prince Edward County to a 1-0 lead. But the Panthers had an answer in third as Owen Dobbie beat Kings netminder Hayden Evans and spoiled the shut out bid. Overall, the Kings went 31-0 on the weekend. The Kings downed the Huntsville Junior Otters in the opener on Friday 6-2. Fox paced the offence, scoring one and setting up three. Other point getters included Cole Lavender (two), McFarland, Cunningham, Nolan Steen and Wyatt Slade. In its second game, the club ran into a dry spell against the Midland Centennials and were defeated 1-0. After surrendering a first period marker, Evans was solid the rest of the way and gave his club a chance to get back into the game but the locals offensive attack came up empty. On Saturday night in a game that would foreshadow the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; final, the Kings got past Pelham 3-1. Tristan Lavender scored the Kings first goal in the second, knotting the game 1-1 and Cole Lavender took over in the third, scoring the game winner with 49 seconds left. Not satisfied with one goal, Cole would add another with just two seconds remaining, beating the buzzer. The Kings hit the road this weekend playing in Tweed on Saturday and Ennismore on Sunday.

MIDGETS WIN DIVISION

The Prestige Construction Midget Kings enjoyed a great weekend at home, going undefeated on the way to winning their division win at the PECMHA Recharge With Milk Tournament. On Friday night the Kings met up with the very familiar Loyalist Jets in game one of the roundrobin and came away with a 1-1 tie. Seth VanVlack scored the lone home-team marker on a feed from Kevin Rallison while Brad Wells patrolled the Kings crease. Game 2 on Saturday night was against a determined squad from BlythBrussells and despite good scoring chances at both ends, neither team could solve the solid goaltending and the tilt ended in a scoreless tie. Alex Ward earned the shut-out for the Kings. The Kings needed a win in game three on Sunday morning against Mount Brydges to ensure a place in the final, so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just what they did with a strong 3-1 performance. Jake Staley and Rallison scored in the second

period and VanVlack added some insurance in the third frame. Jordan Terpstra, VanVlack and Robert Stapley collected assists and Wells played another strong game in the Kings cage. The win set up a meeting with Blyth-Brussells in the championship game on Sunday afternoon. The Kings got on the board late in the first period when Brad Reid cleared a puck that found Dallas Hunter on the other side of the red line. Hunter rushed in and beat the opposing goalie to give the Kings a 1-0 lead that lasted until 6:06 of the third. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when Hunter scored an insurance marker, this time on a feed from Staley. The goal proved very important as Blyth-Brussells scored with just over two minutes left in the game to make it interesting. The Kings weathered a few late flurries to preserve the 2-1 win and take the midget title. Kings keeper Ward was named the Essroc MVP of the final game by the visiting coaches. The Kings next home game is Friday, Nov. 9 at 7 p.m. when they face Port Hope in Wellington.

ATOM BBS WIN SECOND STRAIGHT TOURNAMENT

The team faced Orono in the first game winning 4 to 1. Goals scored by Connor Verhoog, Jasper Gilbert and a pair by Luke Mayfield.Assists were earned by Cooper Rogers, Luke Mayfield, Nick Kirby, Max Lindsay, Owen Norton and Jasper Gilbert. Nick

Emerson Byford got the other Kings goal which stood up as the championship winner. Nolan Lane went the distance in the Kings net, making some big saves to preserve the victory. The Kings visit the Gananoque Islanders Sunday at 3:15 p.m.

McGrayne was solid between the pipes. Game 2 in the tournament was held on Saturday morning at 8am and though it was early, the Kings were ready for action beating Lakefield with a score of 12-0. The entire squad made a dent on the game sheet with a pair of goals going to Dillon Percy, Ben Giroux, Lindsay, and Cameron Pero. Singles to Mayfield, Kirby, Hayden Legere, Norton and Gilbert. Hard earned assists went to Connor Verhoog with 1, Cooper Rogers with 1, Dillon Percy with 1, Ben Giroux with 1, Thomas Davies with 2, Luke Mayfield with 1, Ian Harrison with 1, Cameron Pero with 2, Hayden Legere with 3 and Jasper Gilbert with 1. Nick â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the brickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; McGrayne secured a shut out with fierce determination. In Game 3 on Saturday the Kings played Oswego, New York and though the Kings squared up against strong competitors, the locals took a 2-1 win with Rogers taking no prisoners and scoring both goals unassisted. Sunday morning the Kings faced The Oswego Pirates in a rematch of the pervious day's action. The

Kings battled hard and played with admirable teamwork to take the title on home ice 3-2. Goals were scored by Rogers, Davies and Kirby with assists going to Harrison and Davies. Rogers was the well deserved recipient of the Essroc Impact Player of the game. The Kings will travel to Marmora on Sunday for a game against Centre Hastings at 4:30pm and to Thorold the following week to see if they can bring home another tournament victory.

NOVICES TAKE â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; TITLE

The County Farm Centre Novice Kings awoke Sunday morning for a date with destiny as the locals went headto-head with the Leitrim Hawks for the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; championship of the Recharge With Milk tournament. After going scoreless in the preliminary round, the Kings busted through in a big way in the finals thanks to Nathan Steen as the sniper fired a hat trick for the Kings in a 4-2 win. Ben Lamorre added three assists on the day while

The Prince Edward County Bantam AE Kings ]faced some stiff completion during the Prince Edward County Milk Tournament this past weekend. The team began the tournament on Friday afternoon with a 2 p.m. game in Picton against a tough Newcastle team, who eventually went on to win the division .The Kings were down 1-0 after the first, but fought hard to stay in the game. After a second goal by the feisty Stars, Riley Young scored an unassisted goal in the second to narrow the opponents lead to 2-1. Prince Edward County was unable to turn the tables and finished the game with a loss of 4-1. Game 2 of the tournament ensued at 9 p.m. Friday against South Muskoka. Hopes were high as both teams battled hard in an end to end, scoreless first period. Max Manlowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s superior glove, could only deny the Bears for so long, and they scored a quick two in the second. Riley Young spurred on his teammates with an unassisted goal as the Kings moved into the third period and the excitement continued as the third period saw multiple goals at both ends. Corey Vanhecke scored, assisted by Dryden Norton, followed quickly by a fourth goal from Chase Eaton, assisted by Corey Algar, and Young. Despite strong defensive positioning by Jordan

Stacey and the physical presence of Travis Coates, the Kings lost 4 -3. A fresh and rested team took to the ice at noon on Saturday to face off against Midland. The Kings lost the first period, but came out strong in the second with Iain Cameron scoring the Kingsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first goal of the game, followed by a sensational unassisted one-timer by defenseman Norton tying the game, and granting the Kings a point for winning the second period. Moving into the third, Midland scored twice, to which the Kings could only answer once. Mack MacFarland scored assisted by Norton, but it was unfortunately not enough as Midland won 4-3. In addition to playing in the tournament the Kings also traveled to Brighton Saturday to face the Braves. Manlow stood tall in net to keep the first period scoreless. Despite Staceyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s multiple battles at the blue line, and Chase Eastonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speed up the middle, the Braves scored two quick goals in the second. The Kings rallied however, as Algar scored assisted by MacFarland and James Reynolds. Prince Edward County was down 3-1 going into the third, but that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop Ethan Harrison who sprang back into action after a hard collision during the first period. Harrison finished the play assisted by Norton to earn Prince Edward Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second goal of the game. Despite a hard-fought battle by defense, the game ended in a 4-2 win for the Braves. The Bantam AE Kings will resume their season this weekend with back to back games against Oshawa.

Abolins named Horizon Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s keeper of the year Demorestville's Nora Abolins has added another bevy of awards to her NCAA trophy case. The product of the Prince Edward County Soccer Association and Centennial Secondary School grad was named 2012 goalkeeper of the year by the Horizon League, the loop her NCAA Division I University of Detroit Mercy (UDM) Titans play in.

Abolins was also named to the all-conference team and this marks the third straight season the Junior has been recognized by her league. In her first NCAA season, Abolins was named to the All-Newcomer team and was a Second team all star in her sophomore season. Abolins recorded her ninth shutout of the season and 24th of her career in Wednesday's regular season finale against Youngstown State. With the shutout,

Abolins now ranks first alltime in UDM women's soccer in career shutouts and also tied the single-season mark of nine in one season. She currently has a 0.52 goals against average on the season and in seven league contests, she has recorded five shutouts to lead the league. Currently, Abolins has posted four straight, not allowing a goal in the last 363:22 of play dating back to the final minutes at Valparaiso back on Oct. 6.

Thanks to her strong play as of late, Abolins was also named both the Horizon League women's soccer defensive player of the week and the CollegeSportsMadness.com Horizon League women's soccer player of the week. After clinching the Horizon League's number two seed with the 2-0 blanking of Youngstown State, the Titans will take on a yet-to-be determined opponent tomorrow afternoon at Engelmann Field in Milwaukee.

A trip to Lindsay last weekend gave the PECI Senior Basketball Panthers an opportunity to learn from a strong city team in Ottawa's Glebe Gryphons. Coach Rob Garden said the crew from the nation's capital just wouldn't quit pressuring and pushing the tempo consistently. "The girls entered the tournament on a high after winning both games last week, but they were unprepared for the relentless attack," said Garden. "Glebe was very athletic and played a very up-tempo style of play, one we are not used to in the Bay of Qunite."

PECI would lose a pair to the Gryphons, 37-25 and 3820 respectively, bookending a 49-15 win over the host I.E. Weldon Wild Cats. The weekend took the Panthers to a new level of play as they returned to the league and fell to the unbeaten St. Theresa Titans Tuesday 37-36. Garden said his team knew the Titans also were capable of high-scoring games, so the ball control offence they had to execute against Glebe would again be a factor. The Titan win came on a free throw in the dying seconds of the game after PECI came back from a 16-point

third quarter deficit to tie the contest with just nine seconds on the clock. Courtney WIlson had 13 points, Emily Clark 12, and Erin Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien and Ally Davies four each â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Daviesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; coming on the free throw line late in the game.

The Panthers go into the playoffs hoping to keep playing a smart, high-tempo game. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll host either Quinte or Centre Hastings in a quarterfinal tomorrow at 2 p..m.

Shred-a-thon offers safe destruction of documents and helps Hospice project Event raises $1,475 to support home visiting Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

Hospice Prince Edward volunteers braved some wet and chilly weather on Saturday to raise funds while providing the community with an opportunity to safely shred their private documents. It was the second year for the Hospice Prince Edward Shred-a-thon. Residents were invited to bring documents such as financial or tax information to the Picton Home Hardware parking lot where it would be safely shredded on site by Iron Mountain's Shred-it truck under the watch of the Ontario Provincial Police. Both the space to hold the event, the shredder and the staff person to run it were donated. Hospice Prince Edward program and design co-ordinator Wayne Carruthers said the event raised $1,475, which wouldn't have been possible without those donations. Carruthers said the Hospice volunteers organize the event and provide all the labour.

“The money is used for our home visiting programs, our volunteers who work with clients who are palliative or clients that have lifelimiting illnesses,” he said. “This is money we need to operate those programs, so our volunteers are raising the money for exactly that.” Carruthers said the idea came from a similar event in another community. “We thought we could duplicate it and do it here,” he said. “Recycling and safely disposing of your personal information is something we all have to be aware of. Some people burn it in burn bins, but this is also a way you can

securely get rid of your documents and also support a cause that's worthy of all our support.” Carruthers said there is a growing and perpetual need for the services that hospice provides. “At some point everybody is going to need hospice in their lives,” he said. He said last year's event raised $2,600, but the weather wasn't ideal on Saturday. “Whatever donations we get we're absolutely grateful for,” he said, adding that the turnout on Saturday was encouraging.

Councillor suggests weekend changes to noise bylaw

Gale sounds off on heavy construction Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

The municipality's much debated noise bylaw will be back on the table again, this time with the focus on heavy construction taking place on weekends. Committee of the whole voted last week to refer the noise bylaw back to chief building official Andy Harrison to consider heavy construction noise on weekends. Councillor Kevin Gale said since the construction of a large solar facility began at the corner of Greer Road and Hwy. 62 he has received numerous complaints about noise beginning at 7 a.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Under the current noise bylaw the construction is allowed to begin on all days at 7 a.m. until 11 p.m. Gale said the project is currently using a hoe ram to break through rock and residents say it's rattling their homes. “All these folks are saying is can we not, on Saturdays and Sundays, extend that to maybe 9 O'clock,” he said. “There are some people who don't want to be woken up at 7 O'clock in the morning after having worked all week.” Gale said the intent would be to focus on heavy construction, not to limit resident's ability to work on their property, or do things like build a deck or mow their lawn. He said the residents he has spoken to have already talked to the contractors and were told the development was complying with the municipality's bylaws. Councillor Terry Shortt said it was important to make sure any changes to the bylaw wouldn't impede individual residents. “I can understand the

concern, but if you put it into the noise bylaw it's going to affect everyone,” he said. He said a lot of residents who work through the week use the weekend to do their yard work and other household chores. Councillor Jamie Forrester also said council should tread lightly. “We have to be very careful about limiting noise every time we get a complaint in certain areas,” he said. “… Maybe there's something we

need to address, but we have to be a little careful here because we're going to open up a big can of worms here once again.” Engineering, development and works commissioner Robert McAuley said the municipality can't put noise limits on specific projects, but can limit a class. The issue will come back to the next committee-ofthe-whole meeting on Nov. 15 with a recommendation .

Parks said money helps run an essential hospice service. “We have trained volunteers who go into people's homes and help support individuals and their families who have a life-limiting illness,” she said. “There are many, many things they do and our volunteers are just the best. They're fabulous.” She said in a recent case a volunteer helped get a client's phone service restored after a missed payment. She said the phone was an absolute need in the case and shows how important the hospice volunteer service is. “Within a few hours it was reinstated. That individual could not stay at home any longer without that phone,” Parks said. “They really make a difference in people's lives.” Carruthers said the OPP have come on board as a

partner to make sure documents are shredded securely, but have also seized the opportunity to get the word out about identity theft and other problems posed by improperly disposed personal information. Representing the OPP at the event was Const. Kim Guthrie who said the police want to raise awareness about identity theft. “There are many cases of identity theft that come into our office, not just in Prince Edward County, but in the Province,” she said. “To raise awareness and to give out tips and hints about identity theft is something that is important to do. It encourages people to be more diligent.” She said the days of discarding full documents in your trash are gone as many criminals will search through the refuse to find bank state-

ments and other information which they can use to secure credit cards and open accounts. “This is a really good cause for Hospice Prince Edward and for the community at large to keep them informed and to encourage personal safety,” Guthrie said. She said some tips include shredding private documents and getting a personal credit check. Guthrie said the credit check could identify abnormalities that residents can identify and can be handled by the credit check company's fraud division. “That's something you can check and keep on top of,” she said.
