Rotarians learn about two members’ family connections to airmen in Second World War

MOECC issues orders to port operator

ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

As more time passes and fewer Second World War veterans remain, it has become more difficult for many to share personal stories of the conflict and its toll on those who fought and experienced it.

Luckily, the Rotary Club of Picton was able to hear the stories of two airmen who fought in the war from their own relatives — though both admitted information was difficult to come by.

One story shared at the club’s annual Remembrance Day luncheon at the Waring Hall, Tuesday, was about a former Rotary president, Bill Jones, a longtime pharmacist in Picton.

Jones’ son, Rick, shared information he learned about his father, though he noted “these airmen said very little when they returned from the war. I had to research a lot of this information.”

After graduating from Canadian training in 1943, Bill Jones was sent East Kirkby air station in Lincolnshire, England for bomber training. He was assigned to a Lancaster bomber crew in 1944. A crew of seven were in his plane in June 1944 when a German ackack gun shot them down in

In light of ongoing observations by the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC), Picton Terminals has been issued a list of over a dozen work orders to fix and negate several issues relating to water, air and ground contamination that have occurred as a result of fugitive dust emissions and stormwater events.

The orders, issued by provincial officer Shannon Kelly last week, come as a result of a series of complaints made by neighbours of the White Chapel road port operation and months of observations and consultations with Picton Terminals, the County and the complainants themselves.

Councillors meet to assess their progress as they near halfway point in term Meeting allows municipal representatives to review strategic plan and set priorities CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

It was a candid discussion about where the municipality has been and where it's going.

Councillors met for a full day special session on Nov. 2 for a mid-term review of the challenges and expectations of council and the implementation of the municipality's corporate strategic plan.

Mayor Robert Quaiff said council has been able to make a lot of headway over the last two years. He said council has implemented a code of conduct, has established a water and wastewater committee that is reviewing rates to address affordability concerns, and has taken steps to address the concerns of local developers.

“We have a development framework committee that is nearing its end and some good things will be coming out of that,” he said.

In terms of infrastructure

projects, Quaiff said the first half of this term of council has seen the reconstruction of Picton Main Street, reconstruction of County Rd. 3, and the construction of a new shared facility for fire and EMS services in Picton.

“We're also looking at a long-term financial sustainability study through our corporate strategic plan we've just adopted,” he said. “Overall there's been a lot of good projects and if you take a look at all the awards we've won recently through the community development department under Neil Carbone, there's been some really good successes there.”

While there have been a lot of positives, Quaiff said there are also some things that council needs to improve on.

He pointed to the lines of communication between himself and councillors.

“A number of new councillors came on board, I was new as a mayor and didn't know a

lot of the ins and outs and communication, perhaps, could have been improved at an earlier stage on my behalf,” he said.

He said a lot of those issues

were discussed at the meeting and communication will improve moving forward.

Overall, Quaiff said the Nov. 2 meeting was productive and residents will see council concentrate on implementing the strategic priorities outlined in the strategic plan document. Staff are expected to come back to council at another moderated meeting where council's goals will be aligned with the process to achieve them.

“We want to do that very soon, but it will require some discussion during our budget process as to how can we really put our teeth into this thing and go forward in a positive manner that will eventually produce financial sustainability and will set the direction for councils to go in the future,” said Quaiff.

That process could also include a throwback to the concepts of past councils, he said. Rather than planning for the next four years, council could look toward long-term

housing options in Prince Edward County. Quaiff said it seems every council since 2000 has identified affordable housing as a high priority, but there hasn't seemed to be much action.

“It's time we focused on something like that,” he said.

“It is going to require some financial incentives and it's going to cost the municipality some money to implement it, but it's something that needs to be done.”

Within the corporate strategic plan, council committed to five priorities: Financial sustainability, fostering a business-friendly environment, maintaining the rural and historic character of the county, fostering a community with stable employment and affordable housing, and maintaining sustainable community healthcare.

Quaiff said residents should expect to see council take steps toward tackling them over the next two years.

goals and use the corporate strategic plan as a road map.

“Why can't we have a longterm vision like they used to have by planning maybe 15 to 25 years down the road to make sure there are processes in place that will be viable for future councils,” he said.

Will future councils be receptive to a plan laid out 15 years prior by former members? Quaiff said he believes they will be.

“I believe it will provide direction and if the report is completed satisfactorily they'll be able to review it and say 'this is a good idea' and 'let's continue forward with it,'” he said. “There were things that happened years ago that weren't planned for the term of council, but provided a whole new insight into what can make things better in the long term.”

PECI recognizes its top academic achievers of past school year Honour roll includes 99 students from Grades 9-11 ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

Academic achievement took centre stage at PECI last Thursday evening.

With family members, teachers, and administrators looking on, returning students were honoured for their inclass leadership in the 20152016 school year at the fall recognition awards ceremony.

The event featured subject award winners, members of the honour roll, students with the highest overall averages in each stream in each grade, and other special recognition awards.

Principal Darren McFarlane said while Panthers are in the spotlight for many of their extra curricular activities, it is important to celebrate the good work they do in the classroom as well.

“It’s always an honour and privilege to gather together in honour of our students and, in particular, in honour of student achievement,” he said.

“Many times, we get together to celebrate the arts, or to celebrate athletics, but the main reason we’re here is student learning and student achievement in courses. That’s what opens the path to the future.”

McFarlane said with so many competing priorities, distractions, and pressures facing students, it was nice to see award recipients find balance and make their studies a priority.

Superintendent Laina Andrews agreed.

“Academics is really what we’re all about in education.

The other things certainly support and enhance life in high school, but it certainly is the academics that propel us into the future and give us these opportunities.”

Andrews congratulated the staff and students for inspiring excellence and thanked family members for supporting student success beyond the school itself.

Last year, 40 Grade 9 students had an average of 80 per cent or higher to make the honour roll. At the Grade 10 level, there were 26, and in Grade 11, there were 33.

Excellence awards for the top pathway in Grade 9 were presented to Amanda Johnson (academic), Tynika Williams (applied), and Maggie Lindsay (locally developed). In Grade 10, they were presented to Skylar Pierson (academic), Brendan Escobar (applied), and Savhanna Mootoo (locally developed). In Grade 11, they were presented to Kieran McKenzie (university), Arthur MacDonald-Kirkley (college), and Edward Lintner (workplace).

Student council achievement awards were presented to Jackson DeBoef in Grade 9, Lucy Mee in Grade 10, and Vanessa Willis in Grade 11.

Roberts hikes entire span of Millennium Trail Happy 65th

Happy 30th Birthday

HAPPY TRAILS Sophiasburgh councillor Bill Roberts recently hiked the length of the Millennium Trail. He said the experience gave him a chance to see his community in different ways. Roberts said he particularly enjoyed the connection to nature, including a sighting of a large number of red-winged blackbirds between Wellington and Bloomfield readying for migration. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

Councillor sees potential to feature route more prominently in County’s tourism marketing ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

Municipal councillor Bill Roberts gained a new perspective on the county last week when he and a friend hiked the entire distance of the Millennium Trail in just three days.

Roberts and Ted Boyle, of Saskatoon, headed out on the trail in Northumberland County near Carrying Place and just north of Picton, near County Rd. 49, more than 50 kilometres away. He said he enjoys hiking as a way to familiarize himself with a community. This time, it was close to home.

“I’ve done a lot of walking and trekking all over Canada and in other countries. I’ve trekked to the North Pole, to unknown places in China, Africa, and Central America.

It is the best way to see and understand a place,” he said.

“The Millennium Trail is absolutely no exception. It took us through the heart of the county.”

Walking the old railway beds acquired by the County and preserved as a nature trail, Roberts said he was able to observe well-tended farms, densely treed woodlots, and some really interesting marshy areas — some even looked spooky enough to share for Halloween.

“You get a very different view of things than when you’re whipping around on cars or trucks on the roads,” he said. “The old rail beds all over the world make hiking and cycling really easy because they’re more or loess flat. The trail is pretty smooth and there are no big rock hazards or tree roots waiting to trip you up. You can enjoy the passing sights without your eyes focused on your feet.”

In particular, Roberts said he enjoyed the Wellington area stretch, which was recently upgraded by local Rotarians. He made a note that it was friendly for bicycles and was interested to note there were spur routes off the trail to several wineries. History lessons along that stretch also drew attention.

“I was really moved,” he said. “At the Wellington rest and map shelter, there’s a panel that reminds you of the role Indigenous people played in the county, they occupied these lands long before the European arrival.

There are secret burial mounds here.”

Along the way, Roberts said he felt the trail was in great condition compared to many. If there was any blight along the trail, he said, was in Northumberland County.

There were a number of derelict houses, garbage piles,

and other junk distracting from nature. He said he’d talked to Ameliasburgh councillors in hopes of creating dialogue with neighbouring officials to clean up the trail.

Roberts said his guest, Boyle, came away impressed with the trail, but felt it could be featured more prominently in promotional materials luring tourists who love to hike and bike to the community.

Boyle also added signage could be improved along the trail, particularly at access points, and suggested more spurs off the trail could be highlighted. Roberts, agreed, noting he was surprised to learn there’s a path that heads toward Demorestville not far from the Waring House.

Roberts added kilometre markings may also be helpful

to encourage people to continue on the trail.

Although his interest in the trail was primarily in hiking, Roberts praised local snowmobilers, noting that some of the best signage on the trail was created by their organization.

Roberts said he hadn’t heard of many people who had completed the Millennium Trail in such a short period, but said he and Boyle were pleased they did it — and they celebrated their finish at nearby Parsons’ Brewery.

“I don’t think we beat ourselves up,” he said. “If you have good shoes, layered clothing, and water, you can do it. Everyone in the county should experience the Millennium Trail at least a little bit.”

COMMENTARY Trump capitalized as establishment failed to see change sentiment

WHETHER most want to believe it or not, Donald Trump is the President-elect of the United States of America. Despite possessing some deplorable personal traits and presenting a shockingly shallow depth of policy on the national stage, he prevailed Tuesday via the electoral college system.

While it appears many commentators were surprised by this result, they shouldn’t have been. Months before election day, the writing was on the wall with the groundswell of support for Trump in the Republican primaries and of Bernie Sanders in the Democratic primaries. On both sides of the political spectrum, it appeared there was an appetite among the electorate to move on from the notion of political elites governing the country from their own little bubble in Washington. Wherever they chose to point the finger for the gridlock and inaction in their government — some at Barack Obama for executive orders, others at the Republican party for obstruction, people weren’t happy with the system.

Trump beat that drum well, particularly in the rust belt states close to here where manufacturing jobs have been lost to foreign interests. He also received help in that many in the public saw the elevation of Hillary Clinton not only as a vote for the status quo, but also as an endorsement of the system that had failed them — even if she was a progressive and the first woman that close to breaking the glass ceiling.

Although some might have considered them “inside baseball,” the WikiLeaks from Clinton’s campaign showed a group desperate for power and contemptful of the electorate they were trying to rally. The inner workings of the way the campaign worked to limit Sanders’ chances and subsequently Trump’s didn’t sit well. News that Clinton wouldn’t face charges for her e-mail security also likely helped to galvanize the Trump vote and

harden those who couldn’t stomach Clinton in power.

Apparently, the major media outlets and Clinton’s campaign couldn’t see this tide in the voters and, even today after the votes have been cast, they can’t move past the notion that somehow a band of uneducated, bigoted, or misogynistic people decided on Trump because they support his most extreme views and expect the next President will act on them. That’s not to say Trump didn’t benefit from those holding extreme or regressive points of view but that’s not his whole base.

His team capitalized on a growing sentiment in the population, made an argument that a clear segment of the population bought, and they worked to bring the vote out. It isn’t much different than the work of successful campaigns of all political stripes in the past.

Winning the election was the easy part, however. Now, Trump inherits a country that is still vastly divided in opinion with many who strongly despise him in a way no other President-elect has faced. Whatever he was able to get away with on the campaign trail due to the political climate is now gone. His base will expect the changes he’s promising. Traditional Republicans will exert their control of Congress to push for their beliefs. Democrats and independents will want to be included. Then, there’s the demands of the rest of the world. Now, Trump must deliver or walk away.

The world has every right to anxious as it watches to see how America’s choice plays out — it’s already impacted the financial markets in the short term and it will definitely impact Canada in countless ways — but it shouldn’t be shocked that Trump succeeded. Now, he needs to get down to business and prove he and his inner circle are up to the job. With his reputation preceding him, he’s got a difficult order to fill.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Electric vehicles really aren’t as green as one might believe

More people than ever are becoming aware of the devastating environmental cost of the current North American lifestyle. In growing numbers we are becoming unwilling to squander our children's and grandchildren's future, to risk wrecking the planet for everyone and everything for thousands of years, for the sake of preserving obscene levels of short-term profit for the oil industry, and big fossil-fueldependent corporations.

The Ontario "green vehicle" licence plates popping up on electric cars around the county attest to this. But not in a good way.

As concern about global warming rises, it is engendering public resistance to the status quo. To counter the threat this poses to corporate profitability, to keep us acting in

ways that secure the future of the fossil fuel industry and its corporate spin-offs, government and big business must collude to create"necessary illusions". The "green vehicle" is a prime example of this.

It seems absurd to have to say this in the midst of a climate crisis that is already impacting our ability to grow food, threatening and disrupting access to fresh water, displacing millions of people globally, and pushing the rate of extinction to around 1000 times its normal rate; in a context where there is already too much carbon dioxide in our atmosphere, and things are going to become considerably worse if we do not start removing it rather than adding it, but... there is no such thing as a green motor vehicle!

Manufacturing electric

vehicles is certainly not "green". Making a mid-size electric vehicle adds 8.8 tonnes of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, 3.2 tons more than it takes to make a conventional car, largely due to the huge carbon cost of battery production. Lifetime carbon dioxide emissions from driving an electric vehicle are not zero, but 19 tonnes; if the EV requires a second battery pack this jumps to 22.8 tonnes, just slightly lower than those of a conventional mid-size car.

And we might want to remember that powering electric vehicles off Ontario's grid means offloading deadly nuclear waste onto the next generation in addition to massive amounts of carbon dioxide: nuclear power provides over 50 per cent of the province's electricity.

Mass-producing and promoting cars of any kind serves to entrench and expand the monumentally unsustainable and carbon-emission-intensive set of practices that characterize our culture: urban sprawl into agricultural land and wildlife habitat; the destruction of huge tracts of carbon-sequestering woodlands to create more roads; the extremely polluting production of vast amounts of concrete; locating residential areas at great distances from where people work or shop; to mention just a few.

Just how invested are we in motor vehicle culture?

There are 36.3 million people in Canada. There are 33.2 million vehicles registered to be on the road. If you count in all the unregistered motor vehicles, that's more than one for every man, woman, and

child in this country.

Where are we going with this? According to Statistics Canada, from 2012 to 2016 the population of Canada rose by a little over 1.5 million; over the same time period the number of vehicles on the road in Canada rose by over 2.8 million.

All this taken together creates a situation that threatens our children, grandchildren, and all future generations with irreparable harm.

Instead of working on real solutions to this problem, our provincial government is working with industry to deceive and confuse the public about the carbon cost of car culture, so that it can be expanded for the sake of corporate profit.

MRI is a medical imaging technique used in radiology to scan anatomy and physical processes of the body.

As a point of interest 9,290 images were taken in 2015 with the average waiting time being nine days.

The Ministry of Health sets a provincial target of 28 days.

It is evident that QHC has made a concerted effort to lower their waiting times considerably and should be applauded for their efforts.

The time has come that the MRI must be replaced.

The magnet however does not need to be replaced, thereby saving approximately one million dollars. The cost of the MRI only will be approximately $1 million.

This cost will be divided amongst the four hospitals.

The amount will depend on the percentage of time that

each hospital used it. I believe that approximately 1,300 MRI examinations were performed on patients from Prince Edward County last year. The share of the cost for the $1 million MRI for PECMH would be $170,000 or 16.7 per cent.

The four hospital foundations are committed to providing patients with the best care and treatment. As the government does not fund any new hospital equipment the foundations look to the stakeholders to help them raise the necessary funds.

My experience having an MRI this past year has been nothing but positive. The technologist was pleasant, explained the procedure well and answered my questions and was even able to perform my procedure earlier than my appointment time.

I understand that the new MRI (to be installed this winter) will be quieter, faster and has a movable table which will improve safety for those with mobility issues.

We in Prince Edward County are very fortunate to

have an MRI so close to home with such short wait times.

When the PECMH Foundation launches its campaign for the new MRI my hope is that you will consider supporting them to purchase this much needed piece of equipment. This is a community that is very passionate and supportive of its local hospital. I think once again Prince Edward County will respond in a very positive way.

Tri-County reading contest for adults promotes The Wonder

Library users who access the INFO Ontario – the interlibrary loan service know that Ontario libraries work together to bring their patrons the reading materials that they require. With support from the Ministry of Culture, this virtual service is fast, efficient and helps libraries in the province stretch their book budgets a little further.

Ontario libraries also work together to promote library services. One of the initiatives that local libraries have launched is Tri-County Reads. This unique reading contest for adults sees all of the public libraries in Northumberland, Hastings and Prince Edward Counties promoting one work of new fiction.

Tri-County Reads are Canadian titles and participating libraries are able to nominate and then vote for their choice. For 2016, I’m excited to announce that TriCounty Reads is promoting Emma Donoghue’s The Won-

INSIDE THE LIBRARY Barbara Sweet der which was published in late September.

You will likely recall Donoghue’s Room, a stunning success as a novel that went on to inspire an awardwinning movie. In “The Wonder”, Donoghue crafts a very different gothic tale.

This is a tense, quickly-paced historical novel that is filled with psychological thrills

and drama.

A village in 1850s Ireland is baffled by 11-year-old Anna O’Donnell’s fast. A little girl appears to have gone months without food, and the story of this “wonder” has reached a fever pitch.

Enter Lib, an English nurse, who is hired to keep watch for two weeks and determine if Anna is a fraud. As Anna deteriorates, Lib finds herself responsible not just for the care of a child, but also for getting to the root of why the child may actually be the victim of murder in slow motion.

The New York Times reviewer Sarah Lyall compares the book’s opening to that of the Henry James classic “The Turn of The Screw” and shares, “While the wonder of the title refers to many things, at its core it’s an examination of the mysteries of reason, responsibility and the heart.”

The Prince Edward County Library team is delighted to join with our neighbours

in promoting this book throughout our community!

Everyone who checks out The Wonder will be eligible to enter a draw for a $50 dollar gift certificate from Books & Company. One winner in each of our six branches will be chosen and all winners will be featured in our library column.

The reading event runs until Dec. 31, 2016 – so put your name in right away to reserve one of the six copies of The Wonder in circulation in the library.

And, if you’re so intrigued by the book that you decide to purchase your own copy, why not consider paying it forward to your fellow bookworms? If you donate a new or gently used copy of the book, you can also enter the draw! Your donated copy will contribute to a book club set that will be available for loan to our many book clubs in Prince Edward.

Call, visit, or place your hold from home – let’s see if

Prince Edward County can be the top reading community in the Tri-Counties!

Alternatives workshop to address why women stay in abusive relationships Next Wednesday, Alternatives For Women executive director Rahno Boutilier will attempt to answer one of the most asked questions relating to domestic violence against women.

During a free workshop entitled “Why She Stays,”

Boutilier will attempt to help people understand why an abused partner may stay in a toxic relationship.

The workshop promises to be interactive and engaging, with one aspect drawing from the reality show Survivor. Videos and case

studies will also be used to help answer that question.

“Truly understanding the issues and the realities of what women must face helps us not only to empathize, but more importantly, to help communities work together to find ways

to end the violence,” Boutilier said in a press release.

By promoting collective understanding of the underlying societal issues behind violence against women, Alternatives For Women is working to improve conditions to end that violence.

The workshop will take place at the Picton Town Hall at 7 p.m. To register, please contact Christine Renaud at Alternatives For Women at 613-476-4435 or outreachafw@bellnet.ca.

Applications for 500-kilowatt installation near Airport Lane, 250-kilowatt installation on County Rd. 14 meet municipality’s outlined criteria

County gives its support for two proposed ground-mounted solar projects to proceed CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

A pair of ground-mounted solar projects applying to the province's Feed-in Tariff (FIT) 5.0 program received municipal support resolutions on

Tuesday evening.

Support resolutions for both a 500-kilowatt project proposed for a plot of land adjacent to Airport Lane and Mowbray Road in Hallowell Ward and a 250-kilowatt project proposed for a parcel locat-

ed at 1637 County Rd. 14 in Sophiasburgh were approved.

The projects were proposed

by Compass Energy Consulting and Xiugang Zhang, respectively.

The projects earned council's support having complied

with the criteria established by council for the municipal support application process.

Projects that receive municipal support resolutions gain priority points toward securing a FIT contract.

Councillor Barry Turpin

was among those who supported granting the resolutions.

“They've gone through all the steps and I think they deserve our support,” he said.

He said even with municipal support, the projects will

face a lot of competition. He said other projects which have received municipal support in the past have not been granted contracts.

“The municipal support resolution doesn't guarantee that we're going to get anything,” he said.

The applicants agreed to several conditions in order to secure the municipal support resolutions. These included agreement to adhere to any site specific prerequisites council identifies, agreement to notify all landowners within 400 metres of the project site and to cover the municipality's costs associated with reviewing the project. The applicants also agreed to enter into a road users agreement with the municipality if one is deemed necessary, to file an emergency response plan with the municipality, and to forward a copy of the decommissioning plan for the project to the municipality.

All of the conditions would come into effect only if the projects receive FIT contracts.

In addition to the conditions, the municipality requires the applicants to provide a $6.16 per kilowatt annual payment based on the nameplate capacity of the project. The levy would begin when the project reaches commercial operation. The 500 kilowatt Compass Energy Consulting project would provide $3,080 annually for the 20-year life of the contract, while the 250 kilowatt Zhang project would provide $1,540 in annual revenue.

Mayor Robert Quaiff didn't support the projects.

“I have a long memory and a short fuse when it comes to the Green Energy Act,” Quaiff said.

He said there are municipalities across the province have declared themselves unwilling hosts, have not given support resolutions, and yet have seen projects constructed in their communities.

“As a matter of consistency and the draconian style of the Green Energy Act, I'm not going to support any further programs in Prince Edward County,” he said.

The window for FIT 5.0 contracts opened on Oct. 31.

The window is only open to smaller green energy projects between 10 and 500 kilowatts as the provincial government suspended its Large Renewable Procurement (LRP) program in September.

SHOW TIME Vendor Sandy MacFarlane tells visitors Mary Ann Higgs and Janne Burton all about the steps that go into crafting her handmade jewelry. The display was just one of 40 at The Maker’s Hand this past weekend, which saw more than 2,000 people attend.(Chad Ibbotson/Gazette staff)

Fresh vendors add variety to show The Maker’s Hand offers array of fine hand-crafted goods for many tastes CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

A solid crowd and a new selection of handmade wares were among the highlights of this year's incarnation of The Marker's Hand.

In it's 13thyear the artisan show and sale drew over 2,000 visitors between Friday and Sunday. Chair Lori Robinson said the show featured 13 new vendors this year out of a total of 40.

“We had a nice blend of new artists, returning artists and we had 11 local artisans too, which is nice,” she said.

“That number is up from what its been in the past.”

Robinson said, overall, the numbers are positive.

“It was a great turnout,” she said.

She said while the turnout was less than last year, which saw a record of about 2,300 people, attendance is still up from years previous.

“Last year we had a really good year,” she said. “We were down around 1,800 for about three years, so we're really good now.”

Robinson said the new vendors added some fresh variety to the show and helped keep it interesting to those who mark the date on the calendar each year. She said the vendors are selected through application, so sometimes you don't fully know what they'll add to the show.

“I was pleasantly surprised with how bright and interesting every booth was

and it made the show look very bright,” she said. “People want to shop when it's very inviting and interesting like that.”

While the crafts are the draw, the artisans themselves are what make the show special, Robinson said.

“That's the key point,” she said.

She said one aspect of the show that allows visitors to have a meaningful interaction with the artisans is the intimacy of the venue.

“It's not overwhelming, maybe other people would like to see it a bit bigger, but it's just the perfect size,” she said. “It allows you that comfortable feeling of being able to interact with the artists.”

Kingston resident Mary Ann Higgs was visiting the show with friend Janne Burton of Toronto. She said it was the bevvy of bazaars that brought the pair to the county last weekend.

“Between the church bazaars and The Maker's Hand and other craft displays and good stores — it's just amazing,” she said.

“The Maker's Hand has so many unique exhibitors and the quality is high, so you know you'll find something distinctive.”

Finding unique items can be a challenge, but with The Maker's Hand there's a concentration of them, Higgs said.

Burton said the pair were speaking with vendor Sandy MacFarlane about the process she uses to make her

jewelry. She said interacting with the artisans is always informative.

Added Higgs, “If you buy something, you feel a connection to it thereafter in a different way than if you just found it on a shelf.”

MacFarlane, who designs and crafts custom jewelry out of her home in Douro, Ont., agreed that interaction with customers is a big part of the show. She said oneon-one time with clientele gives vendors the opportunity to explain everything that went into the products and that can make the difference for shoppers.

“It adds value in their eyes,” she said. “It means more to them having that interaction.”

MacFarlane said it was her second year participating in the show.

“I'm so happy I was invited back — there are a lot of high-end craftspeople at this show,” she said. “To be part of that is just wonderful.”

She said the show is different from others in that it's diversity and level of craftsmanship are both very high.

“You have people who work in all media, so you have a lot of choice here that you will not find anywhere else except directly from the vendor,” she said.

The show also featured a charity booth for County Kids Read. Robinson said the group was grateful for the generosity of the visitors who contributed to the program.

Fall Countylicious fixed-price promotion is under way at 11 local restaurants until Nov. 20 CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

CREATIVE CUISINE Drake Devonshire Inn chef Matt DeMille has created a special three-course menu for the 10th edition of Fall Countylicious, which is taking place this month at 11 restaurants within the county. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

The municipality is once again prepping for the fall edition of Countylicious.

The bi-annual spring and fall event, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary, kicked off Oct. 28 and runs until Nov. 20.

As usual restaurant-goers will have a chance to choose between 11 participating restaurants which are each offering three-course meals for a fixed price of $40 per person excluding taxes and gratuities.

The event is presented through the collaborative effort of local restaurants along with the municipality's

community development department. A release from the municipality says the event's success over the past decade is a reflection of the talent of local chefs and the commitment of residents to support local businesses.

“Countylicious is such a fantastic way for our community to celebrate,” says Mayor Robert Quaiff in the release.

“It combines some of our best assets—the produce from our farms, the skills of our entrepreneurs, and the creativity of our community.”

In recognition of the 10th anniversary, 10 diners have been granted a multi-course pop-up dinner at Macaulay

House Museum at the end of the month. The winners were selected in the spring by sharing their experience on social media using #Countylicious10.

The winners will be treated to dishes prepared by each of the participating restaurants paired with local wines.

Kente Public School celebrates its 50th anniversary Open house allows past students, staff chance to reminisce CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

Kente Public School celebrated its past this weekend.

The public was invited to attend the school's 50th anniversary open house on Saturday. The facility was open to explore with an array of class photos, awards, and other memorabilia on display throughout the day. “We have all of our classrooms open for former students, former staff — anyone that's connected to the school to come through and have a look at how things have changed,� principal Stephanie Taylor-Harvey said on Saturday. “We've had a lot of great comments about how much is different and how much is really still the same.�

The school's library was filled with trophies and awards from years past and visitors gathered to share memories and laughs while pursuing some of the many yearbooks which were on display. There was birthday cake available in the science lab and a showcase of Kente Cougars sports uniforms.

A time capsule buried in 1986 and opened again after 25 years in 2011 was also displayed.

public to attend the education facility’s 50th anniversary open house on Saturday. The school displayed an assortment of memorabilia from the five-decade span. (Chad Ibbotson/Gazette staff)

“There are lots of old photographs around the school, so people are taking a wander through and taking a walk down memory lane,� said Taylor-Harvey. “We've had a steady flow of people through, we've had a lot of former staff members, lots of people who taught here right when the school opened.�

The school that today serves 281 students from kindergarten to Grade 8 opened in 1966. Enrolment necessitated an addition to the school in 1975. TaylorHarvey said there were a lot of visitors from around that time period.

“We've had a lot of former graduates as well from a range of years,� she said.

The open house was just one way the school will be celebrating its golden anniversary. While the open house was the public's chance to reminisce, she said the school also has a 50th birthday party celebration planned for current students. Students will also have an opportunity to play a part in a new time capsule. “Each class is going to decide what to put in the time capsule to represent this point in time,� Taylor-Harvey said. “If you look at what's in (the previous capsule) it's incredi-

ble how much has changed in 20 years — even from when they opened it in 2011 until now there's a lot that's gone on.�

While a lot has changed, Taylor-Harvey said several visitors remarked on what has stayed the same at the Ameliasburgh school. The rooms which hosted Grade 7 and 8 students in 1975 still host them today. “The classrooms are still the classrooms and the views out the window — we have such a beautiful property, the county is so gorgeous and we're lucky to be where we are,� she said. “They talk about the views out the classroom window being how they remember them and that's always one of their favourite memories of the school.�

Disqualified driver caught Saturday

A Prince Edward OPP officer used an automated licence plate recognition system to catch a disqualified driver.

On Saturday, the officer noticed a suspect car on Loyalist Parkway with licence plates not authorized for the vehicle he was driving. Following a traffic stop, it was revealed the plates were stolen.

An investigation revealed the driver was the subject of six driving suspensions under both the Criminal Code of Canada and the Highway Traffic Act. He was also not insured. A 34-year-od Picton man was arrested and held for a bail hearing.

Popular indie film Lavender returns home to Regent Theatre screen this month attended his first movie and answer questions about the story, the process and the production of Lavender.

Filmmaker Frizzell fnds success in major Canadian markets JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER

Canada's hottest indie movie and it's original writer will be front and centre at Picton's Regent Theatre Nov. 23.

Cressy native Colin Frizzell was in Toronto Friday for the Canadian debut of Lavender (a sellout) and was ecstatic at the news the film, based around a story he started developing some 15 years ago, will play before a county audience later this month.

Starring Dermot Mulroney (My Best Friend's Wedding), Abbie Cornish (Limitless) and Justin Long (Accepted), the psychological thriller sees its lead character (Cornish) suffer severe memory loss after a traumatic accident and the woman soon picks up on clues that suggests she might be responsible for the deaths of family members of which she was unaware.

A Tribeca Film Festival selection earlier this year, the film has gained in popularity in the past week after a successful debut.

The film was held over for another week in major

Canadian markets and will be added to theatres in Kamloops and Kelowna.

“I'm excited, happy and relieved because there have been so many people in this community supporting me, following stories about Lavender in the Gazette and are really excited to see the film and now they will get that opportunity,” Frizzell said.

The story had its genesis in the late 1990s and the setting was originally Prince Edward County.

It wasn't long afterwards that Frizzell and Canadian filmmaker Ed Gass-Donnel-

ly connected and traded the story back and forth until a script was developed and the project was green lit.

While he had viewed a rough cut of the production in its early stages, Frizzell's first opportunity to view Gass-Donnelly's take on his original piece was at a public screening at Tribeca.

Friday night in Toronto marked the second time he has viewed the film.

“Tribeca was a dream

wrapped within a dream because I was seeing it for the first time and that was my first visit to New York City,” Frizzell said. “Friday was much more personal for me as there was a lot of family and friends there and and it's going to be even more so at the Regent.”

At this juncture, there will be no advanced tickets sales for the screening however Frizzell will hang around in a theatre where he

kid before it closed the first time is kind of surreal,” he added with a laugh.

Lavender's Prince Edward County debut gets underway at Wednesday, Nov. 23 at 7:30 p.m. at the Regent Theatre.

Queen Elizabeth School bolsters foundations’ student emergency fund have the second highest rate of food insecurity in the province.

“Nobody wants or expects to find themselves in that situation, but crises arise,” she said.

On that day alone, deSnoo said, there were four requests — two for food, one for glasses, and another for transportation to Hotel Dieu Hospital in Kingston.

“Those are families that are trying hard,” she said.

$2,600 gift will help to assist children in crisis situations CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

The Hastings and Prince Edward Learning Foundation received a significant boost this week.

Queen Elizabeth School principal Paul Pickard presented Learning Foundation executive director Maribeth deSnoo with a cheque for $2,600 on Nov. 4. The money was raised through Christmas wrapping and food item sales undertaken by students throughout the month of October.

The money goes toward the foundation's Student Emergency Fund, which provides immediate assistance to students in crisis situations. The foundation responded to 337 requests last year, granting a total of $44,646 with the majority of requests being for food at home, clothing, and hygiene items.

“The idea was we'd give back some of the things we've been getting from the Learning Foundation,” Pickard said. “The Learning Foundation has never said no to one of our students that requires any assistance.”

He said the school uses the foundation regularly as a resource to help students who need things like food, eye glasses, and EpiPens.

“It's nice to know that we can say 'here is what our needs are' and they'll always say yes,” Pickard said. “It was time for us to give back a little bit.”

Pickard praised the com-

Organizations like the Learning Foundation was vital to the community, Pickard said. The school regularly communicates with families about the needs of students and, when they are in need, programs offered through the foundation can help.

“We see it first when students need things, for example, we know when a student is hungry,” he said.

For many years Community Care has been able to source free calendars for seniors.

We’re disappointed to report that this year all sources of these free calendars have dried up. In years gone by we could get these free calendars from the provincial government. That was stopped awhile ago.

Then the not-for-profit group B.A.S.S.I.C. which stands for “Bringing an Awareness of Seniors Safety Issues to the Community” began putting out a free calendar. We would receive a limited supply each year and they’d go like hotcakes! Their web site is www.bassic.ca if you would like more information about the organization.

This year B.A.S.S.I.C. says they can’t send us any calendars. They simply have too many requests.

One of the reasons, we’re told, that seniors really liked the B.A.S.S.I.C. calendar was

hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918, World War I fighting ceased. The war, which had raged on throughout Europe for a little more than four years, claimed the lives of more than nine million combatants and seven million civilians. The Allies squared off against the Central Powers of Germany and AustriaHungary, and the conflict involved nations from all over the world.

World War II was even more devastating. Ultimately, 100,000 Canadian soldiers lost their lives in these two wars combined. It is in their honour — and in the name of all the servicemen and women who continue to risk their lives in service of their country — that Remembrance Day was

established.

Remembrance Day, sometimes referred to as Armistice Day or Poppy Day, is celebrated each year on November 11. It is a federal statutory holiday in much of Canada.

During the holiday, people pause for two minutes at 11 a.m. to remember the many Canadian soldiers who lost their lives. Many people also wear red poppies, a flower that has become synonymous with the holiday.

In addition to the moments of silence and the wearing of poppies, individuals can commemorate Remembrance Day in the following ways.

• Treat a veteran. Take a soldier out for a meal or pay the restaurant bill anonymously. If a family member or friend is presently in the military

or retired from the service, learn his or her interests and plan a special, stress-free day.

• Share a servicemember’s story. Speak with a service person who served in World War II about his or her military service, and chronicle this person’s story into a living history. Encourage children to take part in learning about this person’s history and experiences.

• Volunteer at a veteran’s association. Find a department of veteran’s affairs and see what you can do to assist veterans.

If you have specialized skills, offer your services free of charge to former soldiers.

• Show your patriotism.

Be proud of your heritage and the rich history of the country. Fly the

flag, participate in the voting process and teach children about the country’s founding principles and how much the nation has evolved. Read up on current events and take an interest in domestic and foreign affairs.

• Establish your own traditions. Create your own way to celebrate Remembrance Day. This may include a day of contemplation, spending time with family, visiting historical sites, or watching documentaries on the life-changing wars that transformed the world.

Remembrance Day is a time to honour the patriotism of selfless soldiers who sacrificed their lives to make Canada — and the world — a safer place.

From our Family to yours.

We are proud to support the Royal Canadian Legion, Veterans and serving military and RCMP members.

Thank you to the men and women who sacrificed so much, and continue to protect all Canadians and those who visit our country.

War Child creating opportunity in war-torn areas Canadian organization works to empower women, children ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

For many years, the Rotary Club of Picton has held a land mines dinner to raise money to clean up ordinances in war-torn areas. Most years, the speakers talked about impacts on women and children.

Given that knowledge, pastpresident Andy Janikowski said this year the club’s international committee elected to change the focus of its dinner to learn the impacts of war on those groups and to find out what one Canadian organization is doing to create change around the world.

“We realized that children were really the victims of conflicts involving land mines,” Janikowski said. “We’re so lucky living in Canada. When you think of your children or you think of your grandchildren they have a place to go and sleep tonight. They will have had a good meal. They have a box full of toys and their secure in their environment and full of love. We’ll wake up tomorrow morning and assume the parents will be there.”

Elsewhere in the world, however, children have lost that security and have been greatly impacted by conflicts they didn’t have a hand in creating.

Cameron Becker, a development officer with War Child

CHANGING LIVES War Child Canada development officer Cameron Becker speaks about how his organization is helping provide opportunities to children and women in areas around the world impacted by violence. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

Canada, has seen that.

Becker said his organization, which was started in Toronto

by Dr. Samantha Nutt in 1999, goes into areas that have been conflict zones or are neighbouring conflict zones and it attempts to develop peaceful communities through education, opportunity, and justice.

The organization attempts to make a long-term commitment to its project communities to provide support beyond the initial humanitarian aid phase — providing basic necessities like access to food, shelter, and water — to development that helps a community become stable in the years to come.

War Child has operated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, South Sudan, Sudan, and Afghanistan. Recently, it has moved into Jordan to work with Syrian refugees and has set up in Iraqi Kurdistan where it works primarily with women who have been displaced by the Islamic State.

Typically, Becker said, women and children are the focus of the organization’s work.

“Why focus on children in war?,” he asked. “A child is often the first victim when conflict erupts. An example is school. Violence and instability can make going to school simply too dangerous. For many

children living in an unstable community, the walk to school itself can be one of the biggest barriers to accessing an education.”

Often, he said school infrastructure can be destroyed and teachers are forced to flee.

In the Congo, where sexual violence runs rampant, many youth can’t walk to access a school. Children are often recruited into armed groups and forced marriage and child labour were becoming the norm.

There, War Child has been able to reach children by broadcasting lessons over the radio and hiring local people to serve as assistants in community centres. It is expected more than 1,000 people will gain access to formal, government-approved education certificates, which will mean jobs.

Educating and empowering women is also part of War Child’s work. Becker spoke of a woman in a part of Afghanistan previously controlled by the Taliban. Three years ago, she was illiterate, her husband was working sporadic jobs and her children were unable to go to school. Along with 150 other women, she learned to read and was given basic business training. She became a tailor and now employs over 50 women.

Eventually, Jones said the family got in touch with the French resistance and a bushman and his son were able to get him to Rouen. With plenty of occupying Nazis in the area, they managed to hide him in an old barn for five days. Jones nearly broke down, explaining they were able to bring his father food and water only every second day as to not arouse suspicion.

Finally, he said, they were able to connect him with the Second Canadian Armoured Division who made arrangements to get him back to the United Kingdom.

The elder Jones later joined the Royal Air Forces Escaping Society, which Rick Jones said includes those who escaped from prison camps and those who evaded capture. Many of the airmen sent money back to the people who risked their lives to help save theirs.

“These people could have been civilians, peasants, businessmen, priests, nurses, and housewives,” he said. “Father always sent money over, he couldn’t thank them enough.”

In 1968, the Jones family welcomed the French family to visit them in Picton. The

young girl who gave food came with her husband and her parents. In 1974, Bill Jones returned to France. Just three years ago, Rick Jones travelled to France himself. The young woman and her parents had passed away however.

Though his father didn’t talk much of his adventures, Jones did receive a couple treasures that will help him always remember. One was his father’s flying helmet, retrieved from the family’s attic and given back to him in 1974.

The other is a silk scarf map which Jones has framed.

He explained the airmen each reached an escape kit with food products, a compass, sewing implements, a razor, soap, and tablets for water purification and for energy. Each also had an escape map.

“The one side are the French borders, the other side are the German borders. When these airmen parachuted down, they had to figure out where the heck they were,” he explained.

Fellow Rotarian Bob Bird, himself an Air Force veteran shared a story he read in a book recently about his brother’s uncle, Tom Thould.

Like Jones, he was trained in

the Royal Canadian Air Force as a pilot and he was eventually deployed to Britain to train as a bomber. He was assigned to fly a Halifax bomber — a big target the Germans loved shooting down, Bird said — and was able to select a crew to fly with.

The crew completed six missions over Europe and had been shot at many times. Their seventh mission, however, was daunting. They’d been assigned to fly over Nurenberg in southern Germany. It would be a 1,300-mile round trip over heavily defended air space and the odds of success were slim.

They revved up the engines, roared down the runway loaded with a full load of bombs and fuel and lifted off successfully,” Bird shared.

rived early and did a dog leg away from their target. They had an engine failure while in the air, however, and returned to the site late. They were met with German night fighters, ack-acks, and search lights beaming on the smoke of gun fire illuminating their plane.

Two German fighters struck the plane. One hit a wing, the other struck right into the fuselage. Thould stabilized the plane to allow five of his airmen to escape — one was killed in the air — but he couldn’t get out itself due to the centrifugal force. He went down with the plane and died.

“He was 21 years old,” Bird said, adding he was buried in Bavaria. He said his brother visited recently. Thoule was buried in an immaculate cemetery where wreaths of fighters on both sides are decorated.

Bird said the bombers made a terrible sacrifice in the war as 125,000 flew and 44 per cent of them died. Statistically, he said many knew they wouldn’t be able to complete 30 missions given their attrition rate.

“These guys knew that.

Every night they went away in the aircraft knowing that and did their mission. What incredible courage it must have taken to do that,” he said.

“They made a tremendous sacrifice.”

Municipality denies Festival Players’ request for additional relief funding Councillors express concern that funding shortfall would set precedent for community groups to make requests outside budget process CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

Festival Players won't be receiving additional relief from the municipality this year.

The professional theatre group's general manager, Courtney Quebec, appealed to councillors at their Oct. 27 committee-of-the-whole meeting for financial assistance — specifically for help covering a $4,150 bill the group incurred through the rental of the Mt. Tabor Playhouse in Milford through 2016.

Quebec explained Festival Players was denied a

$36,000 grant delivered through the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport which had been counted on since 2007. As a result, the group found themselves with a $24,000 deficit in their $300,000 budget.

Subsequently, councillors approved a motion asking staff to investigate whether there were any unused dollars available within the community grants budget.

CAO James Hepburn told councillors Tuesday evening there was a project that was withdrawn and, as a result, there was $4,500 available.

However, councillors pointed to the money the group had already received from both the municipality and other sources in 2016.

Many councillors said if the additional dollars were granted, it would set an unfair precedent and would likely encourage other groups to do the same.

Councillor Dianne O'Brien said she wouldn't support granting additional dollars this year.

“They made a deal with Mt. Tabor, they didn't honour the deal for various reasons and at this point

they've been given $11,000 in funding from us, $8,000 from the County Community Foundation,” O'Brien said. “I think that's enough.”

Councillor Treat Hull said Festival Players is a real asset to the community and is the municipality's only professional theatre group.

Even so, Hull said he couldn't support granting additional funds, especially outside of the budget cycle.

“I am, unfortunately, particularly opposed to this one because we are being asked to backstop the loss on a particular non-profit communi-

ty organization,” he said.

He said funding shortfalls for non-profit community groups are not uncommon and granting the money could set a precedent. He said many other community groups are constantly financially challenged.

“In fairness, if we approve this one, we have to say to all our other community grants 'if you run out of money in the middle of the year, give us a call,'” he said.

Councillor Bill Roberts also noted the theatre group's significant contribu-

tion to the community, but he too didn't support the request.

“This would be a mistake, not only is it out of the budget cycle … I also think it relieves Festival Players' directors of their oversight and governance liabilities,” he said.

A motion put forward by councillor Jamie Forrester to grant $2,500 to Mt. Tabor to cover a portion of the Festival Players rental costs was withdrawn. A subsequent motion to deny additional funding to Festival Players was approved.

Gospel concert Saturday to support the work of Consecon’s New Life Girls’ Home A special concert this Saturday at Belleville’s Maranatha Church will benefit the work of the New Life Girls’ Home in Consecon.

Local Gospel duo Daughters of the King (Kim Inch and Debbie McLean) have put together a full program with some top Canadian talent ready to perform. In addition to Daughters of the King, other featured musicians include guitarist Steve Piticco, fiddle player Scott Woods, steel guitar and dobro player Andy Schick, bassist Dan Washburn, vocalist and drummer Frank Woodcock, and pianist/vocalist Kiley-Joe

Masson.

The Gospel trio Trinity is also scheduled to make a guest appearance.

The New Life Girls’ Home, situated on the shores of Wellers Bay for almost 29 years, is a Christian residential program to help women 18-30 overcome crippling issues in their lives like drug and alcohol abuse, sexual, mental or physical abuse, and compulsive behaviors.

The not-for-profit organization promotes transforation through Christian teachings and the core values of authenticity and nurturing relationships, heal-

ing, integrity, and dignity.

“The program has literally helped countless young women ages 18-30,” said Inch.

Through the generous sponsorship of businesses in the Quinte region, Inch is excited by the amount of help the Songs From The Heart concert may be able to provide to help the New Life Girls’ Home with its mission.

“We are in good shape sponsorship wise from many local businesses and therefore, 100 per cent of the ticket sales will be going directly to the home. We’re very excited about that,”

Abrams says Wellington must find its offence, become tougher to play against to find success

Dukes grab three of four points, but set expectations higher JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER

It was another glass-not-quitefull weekend for the Wellington Dukes (13-5-2-1) as they struggled to secure the full complement of points available in the race for the ultra -elite East Division of the Ontario Junior Hockey League.

On the face of it, three out of a four possible points versus non-divisional opponents at this stage of the season would normally be gauged as a productive weekend for the Dukes.

But factor in that the Trenton Golden Hawks, Cobourg Cougars and Whitby Fury show no signs of letting up and the clubs facing Wellington had a combined seven wins in 44 attempts and you can understand Wellington coach and general manager Marty Abrams’ chagrin over leaving a point on the table.

At home on Friday night, the club battled the Aurora Tigers well and, despite squandering some great scoring chances, managed a

3-1 victory.

The next night in Mississauga, Wellington would see their lack of execution come back to haunt them as the Chargers slipped past the visitors in double overtime 3-2.

Wellington hasn't given up more than four goals in a game in nearly a month, pointing to an elite defensive corps and solid netminding in the form of Connor Ryckman.

But their offence has ran dry as the Dukes have only managed to light the lamp 16 times in seven games.

“We are just not getting the scoring we need and we are getting easy to play against,” Abrams said of his club's fortunes as of late. “At this stage of the season, it's difficult to find and acquire players that are going to give you some consistent scoring so it's going to have to come within.”

Brayden Stortz and Nic Mucci continue to be 1-2 in the OJHL scoring race so Wellington's top end appears to be producing.

Murphy makes an impression with Moose Former Pirates and Dukes star scores in first game with Winnipeg’s AHL club JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER

About a week ago, the Picton Gazette took a gander at the upcoming ECHL schedule and noted the Tulsa Oilers would be hosting the Fort Wayne Komets this week.

During the normal run of things, even a hockey enthusiast like this corner wouldn't be overly concerned about the happenings of clubs in the second tier of minor professional hockey in North America.

However, checking in on Wellington Dukes alums is part of the regular housekeeping portion of that beat.

And a Komets visit to Tulsa meant former Wellington defensive stalwart Curtis Leonard would be taking on boyhood friend and a Dukes elite sniper from the past Darcy Murphy for the first time in the pair's professional careers.

Given Murphy's hot start to the East Coast Hockey League season ('Marysville Murph' had two goals and an assist in each of his first two ECHL games), it would have been interesting to get Leonard's thoughts on how he would hope to contain his pal and fellow 2011 Dudley Hewitt Cup champion.

The Gazette even did some ground work with Leonard to see if he would be available to touch base about the upcoming meeting and his season so far.

Leonard, a veteran of one American Hockey League game with the Rochester Americans last season, agreed and added he hoped both would be in the lineup next week.

But what's that they say about the best laid plans of mice and men?

Not four hours after that conversation, the Manitoba Moose of the AHL announced they had signed Murphy to a professional tryout contract and that the former 50-goal man and Col-

gate Raider would be in the lineup Thursday when the club hosted the Cleveland Monsters.

Murphy would make it to Winnipeg just hours prior to puck drop and, sure enough, he scored in the first period of his AHL debut.

While Murphy's debut added another link in the chain of Wellington Dukes that have gone on to play pro hockey at the penultimate level, the event also marked the first time a former Picton Pirate had suited up in an AHL game as the left winger played nine games with the Bucs at the end of the 2010 season while affiliating with the Dukes.

An enthused Marty Abrams recalled Murphy's two full-time seasons with the Junior A club when the apple-cheeked pepper pot made life extremely difficult for opposing teams.

“Everybody in the organization has always been proud of Darcy Murphy and he continues to make us proud. We know what type of person he is and the type of player he is. He won't step

down from anybody, always battles hard and is a very determined hockey player,” Abrams said Monday.

The coach and general manager added that even after Murphy left the organization to attend Colgate University, he still stays in touch with the organization and its staff on a regular basis.

Talking to former CBC anchor and Hockey Night in Canada personality Mitch Peacock the day after landing on an AHL scoresheet, Murphy told Moose TV it felt great to score a goal and help the team secure a win.

Murphy added that his legs felt a little heavy, having arrived in Winnipeg just a few hours prior to game time Thursday night.

“The adrenaline got me through the first period and once we had a lead, it was a lot easier to play,” Murphy said.

When asked if he felt settled and if he was able to get his head around the fact he was playing in the American Hockey League which is just one step away from the NHL, Murphy laughed.

“I don't know if it's completely settled in for me, it's been a pretty fun experience so far and I'm looking forward to keeping it going,” he said.

Murphy's extended stay with the Moose likely meant that last night's contest between Fort Wayne and Tulsa had lost some of its luster for Leonard but the lanky Napanee product was still beaming over his good friend's promotion.

“It's great to see Darcy get an opportunity at the next level. It's always fun to see your friends and former teammates have success and he's someone who especially deserves it with how competitive he is and how hard he works,” Leonard told the Gazette, adding it's always special when he runs into a former Wellington Duke (teammate or not) on hockey's most serpentine path.

“It's always fun playing friends and former teammates. I usually say ‘Hi’ during stretch in warm ups and then give a wink or tap during the play,” Leonard said.

The Picton Gazette

Wellington visits Kingston today, hosts Buffalo Friday DUKES, from page 22

However, the second and third lines have been befuddled either through hot goaltending, posts ot passing up scoring chances for a better opportunity that never materializes.

“We are expecting more from the younger guys who are 20 games into their season. We need production,” Abrams added.

He called Wellington's loss Saturday “disappointing” in that the club blasted (by their count) over 50 shots on the Charger cage only to come away with just a single point.

“We just couldn't bury chances,” Abrams recalled.

“We couldn't capitalize and we were robbed in the late stages of the game.”

A prime scoring chance

off the stick of Brody Morris would have negated overtime had the puck found a way into the net.

And early in the first extra session, the Dukes were afforded a two-minute four-on-three advantage that fell by the wayside.

Finally, Mississauga got its sixth win of the season in the second session as Chris Karabassis found a hole in Wellington starer Wes Werner at the 2:39 mark of period five.

The Chargers sandwiched Wellington's lone goal scored by Stortz in the first frame while Morris beat the buzzer, putting a blast past Mississauga starter Julian Sime with just four seconds left in the second to make it 2-2.

On Friday, Wellington fared better on home ice,

going 2-for-4 on the powerplay in a two goal victory.

Wellington knew it was in for a tough night as the visitors had just underwent a coaching change with longtime OJHL bench boss Brian Perrin taking the reigns of a formerly proud franchise that has fallen on hard times.

“I thought we carried the play and handled the puck well, Abrams said of the contest. “We didn't bury chances or it might have been a little easier night.”

Aurora's Roman Semin took a delay of game penalty prior to its commencement and Mitchell Mendonca made the Tigers pay with a power-play marker inside the opening two minutes.

There would be no further scoring until early in the second when Carmine

Albrega beat Ryckman just over three minutes in.

Wellington would pull ahead to stay with 90 seconds left in the frame as Jackson Arcan converted an Austin Labelle feed.

Justin Bean's seventh goal of the season from the backend midway through the third salted the contest away for Wellington.

The club is in Kingston this evening to play the 9-52-4 Voyageurs.

The next night, Wellington is hosting the 10-10-01Buffalo Junior Sabres at Essroc Arena at 7:30 p.m.

A contest that was originally scheduled to take place Sunday afternoon between visiting Markham and host Wellington was changed last week and will now be played on Tuesday, Dec. 20 at 7:30 p.m.

Pirates coach disappointed with club’s effort as it picks up one win in three games Losses to Gananoque, Amherstview bookend two-goal road win over last-place Campbellford powered by Cannons’ four-goal effort CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

It was a disappointing week for the Picton Pirates.

The club fell 7–4 to Gananoque on Thursday, then took a 6–4 win out of Campbellford on Saturday before being defeated by the Jets 5–3 on Sunday. Coach Chris Masterson said the team was flat in all three contests.

“The effort wasn't what it had been,” he said. “We were 5–1 in the six games previous and we just did not have a good effort in any of the three games.”

The Pirates came out of the gate with jump.

Just 4:40 into the contest Devin Morrison put the puck past Islanders goalie Nick Kidd after a nice backhand set-up pass to the slot from Ryan Fraser.

Midway through the frame Picton had the pressure on Gananoque and a crowd formed in front of Kidd. A Tye Eaton blast at 11:40 found its

way through the bodies and into the net to give Picton the 2–0 lead. With three minutes remaining in the period, Thomson dished the puck from behind the net to Dawson Ellis who chipped it past Kidd to make it 3–0.

The Pirates looked set to carry the three-goal advantage into the second, but Islander Jake Jeffries banged in a rebound to cut the deficit to two.

At the 4:26 mark of the second, Jacob Ovens scored to make it 3–2 and three minutes later Nick Maillett completed the comeback.

Goaltender Young went down with an injury midway through the second and Brendan Macham took over in goal. Masterson said the club hopes to have Young back in the near future.

At 14:43 of the second, Drew Marquette scored to give Gananoque the lead. The Pirates were momentarily able to stop the bleeding with an Ellis power-play goal late

in the frame, but the Islanders picked up where they left off in the third. Phil Smith, Ovens, and Nathan Domen added tallies to make the final score 7–4.

The Pirates had a more positive outing in Campbellford in securing two points, but Masterson said the team play was still lacking.

“We were flat again, we just didn't play well at all and we were extremely thankful and lucky to come out with that 6–4 win,” he said.

Cannons scored 3:42 into the game to make it 1–0, but Cam O'Rourke tied things up with a power-play goal at 5:51. Cannons scored his second of the game in the last minute of the first to give the Pirates a 2–1 leading heading into the second.

It took until the 11:39 mark of the second for a change on the scoreboard, which came with Matthew Tarbutt's power-play goal to tie the game at two.

Cannons completed the

TOUGH WEEK Pirate Devin Morrison drives to the net with Nic Stafford defending during Picton’s 7–4 loss to Gananoque on Thursday. Picton coach Chris Masterson said it was a disappointing three games for the club last week. (Chad Ibbotson/Gazette staff)

hat trick with a shorthanded goal two minutes later, but O'Rourke scored in the final minute of the frame to carry a 3–3 tie into the third.

Mitchell Burke scored back-to-back power-play goals two minutes apart to open the final frame and Cannons added a fourth goal at the 14:37 mark to make it 6–3.

Tarbutt added a goal for the Rebels with less than three minutes to go, but it was too little, too late.

Special teams also played a significant role in the game as the Rebels picked up a pair of power-play goals on six opportunities while the Pirates went two for five and scored a shorthanded goal.

Masterson said discipline has

been a topic of discussion with the team lately.

The second period proved to be the difference in the Pirates' 5–3 loss to the Jets on Sunday. Masterson said the team was short players due to injury and seemed to tire as the game wore on.

Cody Jodoin scored 35 seconds into the contest to give the Jets the lead, but eight minutes in Burke scored to tie the game up.

The deadlock lasted until the 5:21 mark of the second when Zach Maciel found the twine. Four minutes later Maciel scored again to make it 3–1 for the Jets. Despite holding a 14–12 shot advantage in the frame, the Pirates were held off the scoresheet.

Five minutes into the third Picton affiliated player Nate Boomhower scored to cut the deficit to 3–2. However, Amherstview's Cody Smith restored the two-goal lead two minutes later. At 11:56 Cannons scored to make it 4– 3, but Jodoin scored at 14:14, erasing hope of a Picton comeback push. The Pirates held a 16–11 shot advantage in the frame, but were never able to gain ground.

Masterson said the team's shots were mainly from the perimeter and players weren't doing what it takes to score.

“We weren't getting to the dirty areas to score on those rebounds and deflections, all our shots were from the outside,” he said. “We didn't show the grit and the effort that had got us that 5–1 record over the six previous games — it was just not there Saturday or Sunday.”

The Pirates have a couple of tough outings ahead of them.

They'll take on undefeated Port Hope tonight and again on Saturday evening. Puck drop for both games is 7:30.

Masterson said the team will need a much better defensive effort in order to compete against the Panthers.

“The last three or four games in my mind we've been a bit of a disaster defensively and so we have to be a lot stronger on the defensive end of things,” he said. “That's not just defencemen, that includes goaltenders and forwards.”

The tenders will then be opened in public on the same day as soon as possible after 3:00 p.m. at the Municipal Office, 332 Main Street, Picton.

Davies places in top 100 at Junior Panthers advance to Bay of Quinte semi-final OFSAA cross country race Stingy defence the

Sydney Davies set a goal of reaching OFSAA in her first year of high school cross country and seeing how she stacked up against runners from across the province.

On Saturday morning, the PECI runner realized that goal by heading out on the 3.2-km midget girls course at Trinity College in Port Hope in a field of 265 runners.

Ultimately, it took her 13 minutes and 27 seconds to finish the course, which was a pace of 4.12 minutes per kilometre. That was good for the 98th position overall.

In a tight field, every second counts. By finishing two seconds faster, Davies could have climbed to 91st and 20 seconds could have placed her in the top 65.

The day’s top finisher, Haley Davis of Guelph’s John F. Ross Collegiate crossed the finish line with a time of 11:49.

The Pinecrest grad finished her first season with the

difference in win over rival Nicholson ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

SYDNEY DAVIES

Panthers with a Bay of Quinte gold medal and a fourth-place finish in COSSA, all while splitting her time playing basketball for the Junior Panthers and playing rep hockey.

Davies was the second first-year Panther in as many years to run at OFSAA as Amelia McKinney represented the school in 2015. McKinney no longer attends PECI.

-Staff

Once they got some early jitters out of the way, the PECI Junior Basketball Panthers had little trouble with the Nicholson College Crusaders in a Bay of Quinte quarterfinal Monday evening.

Before a loud audience on their home court, the Panthers won 44-20 to advance to the league semifinal, which was to be played at St. Theresa yesterday after press time.

In the first quarter, the Panthers had possession early but they couldn’t get many shots to fall. The teams went back-and-forth and the Panthers managed to cling to a tight 12-10 advantage through eight minutes of play.

To start the second quarter, the Panthers settled into a routine and as their confidence grew, they started causing the Crusaders fits.

Led by tenacious efforts by the likes of Sydney Davies, Madalynn Snider, and Jesse Swackhammer, PECI forced Nicholson to turn the ball over and take low-percentage shots. The stingy defensive effort showed on the score sheet as the Crusaders were held without a point in the second quarter and were only

able to muster one basket coming back in the third.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the court, the Panthers started to click. After some sporadic scoring in the second, they opened up for 16 points in the third. Chloe Marshall had six of those points alone, using her strength down low to overmatch the smaller Nicholson team. Myla DeBoef also got in the act under the basket,

contributing four points.

Overall, Swackhammer led the Panthers in the game with a 13-point effort.

Marshall had 11 and guards Davies and Mikayla Leavitt both chipped in seven respectively.

Most of the offence the Crusaders managed in the game came from the play of slick, skilled guard Fuka Asao who was the top scorer in the game with 14 points.

Early on, Nicholson also got some good looks in the post from Kelsey Berthelot, who chipped in four points.

The winner of the Panthers -Titans semi-final will face the winner of the other contest between the topranked Centre Hastings Centurions and the Bayside Red Devils in the Bay of Quinte final Friday at Moira at 6 p.m.

By reaching the semifinal, the Panthers have also qualified for COSSA play this year.

Meanwhile, the PECI Senior Basketball Panthers were also slated for semifinal play last night after press time. The top-seeded Panthers received a bye through the first round of the playoffs.

The Panthers were to face Nicholson after the Crusaders beat Bayside 41-35 in quarterfinal play Monday.

PECI beat Nicholson in league play by seven points Oct. 27 — one of the Panthers’ closest games in their unbeaten regular season.

The winner will advance to the league final at Moira Friday at 8 p.m.

NOVEMBER 10, 2016 31

Doornekamp says most of the measures requested are already in place at site ORDERS, from page 1

In both cases, neighbours on White Chapel road informed the MOECC of potential issues of offsite contamination at their property.

Owner of Picton Terminals Ben Doornekamp told the Gazette Tuesday a large number of the work order items have been completed by the company and were in place far ahead of any MOECC deadline.

“The MOECC has a job to do and lot of what they've ordered is paperwork that we've already filed. These are working documents,” Doornekamp said. “They've asked us to do some new things which are way above the call of duty but we are obliged and we are going to work through it.”

Among the orders issued

by Kelly, Picton Terminals is to: n Ensure all salt piles are covered as soon as possible and, in any event, within 15 working days from arrival to the site. n Notify Kelly in writing seven days prior to the arrival and acceptance of any product or material which has the potential to cause an offsite adverse effect including the description, handling methods, location, quantity and preventive measures related to the material. n On or before Nov. 11, provide confirmation of the installation of a rubber membrane surrounding the cement barriers to completely seal off the barrier and prevent salt migration n On or before Nov. 11, provide confirmation that all actions were taken to cleanup the spill of petcoke which occurred on Oct. 9 and went onto a neighbouring property. n On or before Nov. 14, submit an updated Interim Action Plan (IAP) that shall include additional measures to be taken to manage stormwater on site and to prevent contaminants off the site. n Implementation of the IAP upon written acceptance by Kelly. n On or before Nov. 21, prepare and submit an updated Best Management Practices Plan (BMP)for the control of fugitive emissions (dust) form the site. n Implement the BMP plan upon written acceptance by Kelly. n On or before Nov. 11,

ON THE DOCK OF THE BAY The White Fish Bay, a self discharging bulk carrier sits docked at Picton Terminals Wednesday.The Ministry

of the Environment and Climate Change made a dozen orders to the port operation after instances of ground and water contamination..

retain the services of a qualified consultant that will create a Monitoring Work Plan (MWP)which shall include both ground water and surface water monitoring to characterize water runoff (both quality and quantity) to offsite properties and to Picton Bay to delineate any impacts. n Implement MWP upon written acceptance by Kelly. n On or before Nov. 21, develop and submit (through the qualified consultant) a Remediation Plan (RP) that will asses the nature and extent of any soil, surface and/or groundwater impacts from contaminants originating from the site to any neighbouring property and provide proposed remediation means as well as a timeline. n Implement the RP upon written acceptance of Kelly.

Despite deadlines of later this week or later in November, Doornekamp said most plans and measures have been submitted and are in place.

In operation since 2014 under its current brand, the docks were originally erected in the 1950s by Bethlehem Steel for iron ore shipments and went largely dor-

mant in the early 1980s but was still used a holding area for road bulk salt for regional municipalities and road maintenance concerns starting in 1984.

Picton Terminals is part of the Doornekamp family of businesses which include construction and aggregates branches and, while they have built port operations in the past, the port in Picton is their initial opportunity to operate such a marine facility.

Doornekamp admitted there was a learning curve to port operations.

“It's a learning curve for everybody but salt has been coming here since 1984.

What's been going on since then? I would say salt management now is better now than it ever was,” he said.

The frustrating aspect for Doornekamp is that Picton Terminals has submitted a storm water mitigation strategy to the MOECC for approval in the spring, well before any of the salt had arrived for the 2016-2017 winter driving season.

The application went to the public comment phase where, according to Kelly's provincial officer's report issued the same day as the work orders, the municipali-

ty expressed concerns relating to improper zoning at the site.

The site was originally zoned for port activity but was changed for unknown reasons to mixed zone quarry use around 2006.

The County has allowed Picton Terminals to operate as a port on the basis that the company has submitted a rezoning application that will see the property revert back to its original zoning.

In that public consultation process, the County asked the MOECC to defer issuing an environmental compliance approval (mitigation strategy) for a stormwater management works until the proper zoning is in place.

“The ministry had numerous discussions with the County regarding the zoning for the site. A zoning application is currently being reviewed by the municipality with respect to the site,” Kelly wrote in the report. “The stormwater application is currently on hold and review will be resumed by the ministry pending proper municipal zoning at the site and once all necessary information supporting the application is received.”

Mother’s education a key factor in life expectancy of child CHANGE, from page 19

Her children are going to school and her goal is to build them a private room in her home to study.

“The best indicator if a child will live past age 5 is whether or not the mother has been educated,” Becker said.

Beyond that, a third tenet of the work Becker cited was the rule of law. He said War Child is a registered law firm in Northern Uganda and Afghanistan. Without rule of

law, he said aid wouldn’t be possible. With rights training, however, women are finding chances to advance.

Becker was asked how War Child has success in violent areas. He said the secret is in hiring local people on the ground who know their communities and can work within them.

“While there may be violence or instability, we’re working with people who actually live in the context of these communities,” he said. “In South

Sudan, there were very serious instances of violence even in (capital) Juba. While we needed to shut the project office down, we didn’t need to get people out of the country — 99 per cent of our staff was from South Sudan. Life goes on for these communities regardless of the fact there is violence.”

Often, there may be ex-pats on the ground working with government and local officials. Local participants are hired, however, and they learn communication, social

skills, and conflict resolution.

Becker said War Child receives institutional funding from Canada, the United States, the United Nations, and the European Union. It has received $14.5 million of Canada’s $40 million commitment to Afghanistan. Much of its funding comes from individuals, however. Last Thursday at the Waring House, some 60 people listened to his message and considered donating. To learn more or to give, please visit www.warchild.ca.

The County’s commissioner of engineering, development and works, Robert McAuley, confirmed to the Gazette he made the posting on the Environmental Bill of Rights Registry with regard to the Picton Terminals application.

At the time of the posting, McAuley said the municipality had no idea what was being proposed by Picton Terminals or could potentially be approved by MOECC. “No zoning amendment application had been filed by (Picton Terminals) and we did not have the stormwater report they filed with the ministry application. My objective was to make the ministry aware the salt stockpile might not survive a land use challenge and any attenuation pond the MOECC was reviewing had not reviewed or agreed to by the municipality and may be subject to relocation once we saw what was proposed,” McAuley said via email. “Picton Terminals has since filed their rezoning application and the situation is being reviewed.”

Had the approval been granted upon completion, Doornekamp said the miti-

gation strategy would have been in place prior to the first load of bulk sodium chloride arriving at Picton Terminals in August and a number of the work items issued by Kelly are included in the pending stormwater management works plan.

“It's frustrating because we could have had everything in place in July well before any salt arrived,” Doornekamp said.

While Doornekamp remains confident Picton Terminals can operate within the boundaries laid out by the MOECC and abide by the work orders issued by Kelly, the provincial officer was clear in her report where she concludes the operation has violated one portion of the Environmental Protection Act (Discharge contaminants into the natural environment causing adverse effect) and two parts of the Ontario Water Resources Act (discharge of material into a watercourse where it may impair the quality of water and operating, establishing or altering a new or existing sewage works except under and in accordance with an ECA) that action needed to be taken.

Kelly, who made several site visits over the past 18 months, making observations and collecting on and off site samples, said in the report that, based on the findings, the requirements specified in the order are necessary or advisable so as “to prevent or reduce the risk of any discharge of contaminants into the natural environment from the site.”

“Based on the foregoing, I'm of the opinion that it is reasonable to believe the extent of the contamination on and off the site has not been fully delineated and in the absence of an appropriate remedial and/or monitoring program, off site contamination may be occurring and may continue to occur and migrate onto adjacent properties where adverse effects related to soil, groundwater and surface water impacts may occur or have already occurred,” Kelly summarized. “I reasonably believe Picton Terminals has contravened or is contravening those provisions of the EPA and the OWRA as outlined and the requirements specified in this order are reasonable and necessary to address the identified contravention(s) and to prevent continuation of the offence.”
