The commander of CFB Trenton, the largest Royal Canadian Air Force base, told Picton Rotarians and Kiwanians the country’s military still proudly carries on the tradition of service above self. Speaking at a joint meeting of the two clubs, Col. Colin Keiver shared reflections about the sacrifices young Canadians have made for generations to preserve the ideals the country holds dear to and offered his perspective on how the armed forces will continue to stand for those same principles. Keiver said he chose to visit the clubs Nov. 10 because he is a veteran who has served in Bosnia, Croatia, Haiti, Darfur and Sudan, Afghanistan and Iraq. He said he knows well what men and women have gone through when leaving the security of home to fulfill their duties. “I’ve lain in bed awake at night prior to getting up the next morning and leaving for our mission deployment,” he said.

Council has voted for a reduction in council size, but Mayor Robert Quaiff warned there's a good chance the decision will be challenged before the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB). Council voted 9–7 in a recorded vote on Tuesday night in favour of adopting John Thompson's nine-ward Plan 13, which would see 13 councillors plus the mayor. Councillors Jamie Forrester, Steve Graham, David Harrison, Treat Hull, Janice Maynard, Brad Nieman, Dianne O'Brien, Roy Pennell, and Lenny Epstein voted in favour of the motion. The measure will see a reduction of one councillor from Sophiasburgh and one from Bloomfield. Ameliasburgh will vote for three councillors, and Picton two. Wellington, Hillier, North Marysburgh, South Marysburgh, Athol and Sophiasburgh will each vote for one. Bloomfield/Hallowell will elect two representatives. Forrester put forward the motion, indicating the plan was a good compromise solution.
“We've looked at all the plans, this is my fifth year at this now. I've heard the same arguments, tie votes back and forth — so I'm looking for a compromise,” he said. Forrester said he wasn't sure if there are any plans out there that would meet all the criteria or make everyone happy. “At this point I'm looking to put something on the table, this may be a compromise, it doesn't give everybody what they want,” he said prior to the vote. Both councillors Hull and Epstein had indicated previously they wouldn't support the nine-ward plan, but on Tuesday said the plan was at least an improvement over the status quo. “I believe the status quo is not defendable at the OMB, I believe John Thompson's plan has a much better chance,” Epstein said. “It may satisfy enough people that we don't see ourselves at the OMB.” Hull said the county's residents are divided on the issue. “My preference all along has been the three-ward plan,” he said, adding that he'd rather make a decision than have one imposed on the County.

A one-size-fits-approach no longer fits the Prince Edward County Chamber of Tourism and Commerce as it attempts to best serve and represent a diverse business community. The organization's board spent much of the past year researching the needs of member and non-member businesses in the municipality as well as membership models from similar organizations across Ontario. On Friday, it announced it would be changing the way the Chamber does business in 2016. "All we're here to do is announce the Chamber has been working hard to foster its connection to the business community and is trying to understand what they need, how they need it, and when they need it," said president Gil Leclerc. "We've come up with a new program where part of the program is to tailor-make a menus of services. We believe this new offer will serve the greater good of the entire community." Leclerc said the hope is ultimately to grow chamber membership from just shy of 250 members to more than

500 members across all sectors. The key is providing services in line with members' wants. The new model allows businesses, non-profits, and public service organizations to become Chamber members at prices ranging from $100150. Those memberships entitle them Chamber representation and inclusion in the Ontario Chamber of Commerce and Canadian Chamber of Commerce. Those affiliations allow members networking and group buying deals as well as discounts on services like Purolator and UPS shipping, Esso gasoline,
training, e-learning and insurance deals. Access to a trade commissioner is also available for those businesses looking into exporting. A secondary a-la-carte section allows businesses an opportunity to secure rack card or magazine display, advertising on the red map the Chamber distributes, or in the case of accommodations providers, to access the Chamber's reservation system. A third section allows businesses to sponsor the organization's web site, red map, events, and promotions. "If you want to belong, you can pay a low base fee and
you can add on other things if you so need them. It's also open to the entire business community," Leclerc said. "Beyond just our members, we want to serve the entire business community with things they might want — tourism, placement of cards, being on the map, and the sponsorship of events. It's part of us trying to extend our arms to the whole business community." Past-president Sandy Latchford said she feels some people don't realize the benefit they get from belonging to the Chamber. In particular, she said it can help in a more global economy. "Right now, I think the timing is really good. When we have Main Street torn up next year, some businesses are very concerned about how their business is going to go. I know the municipality is going to work very hard with contractors to minimize impacts," she said. "One thing we think businesses can do is increase Internet sales. One of the services with Chamber membership is a 25-per-cent discount on Purolator fees. There's also a UPS discount. That's huge when you're doing online business." Latchford said the research started with the downturn in the economy in recent years when many business people started asking about the value of being a member and their return on investment.

Environment ministry officials examine salt run-off from Picton Terminals Doornekamp says his company is working to design a new collection system that would limit contamination in event of heavy rain JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER
Staff from the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) are examining water samples taken from a bulk shipping terminal operation east of Picton. Ministry spokesperson Lindsay Davidson confirmed that MOECC staff collected storm water samples from the east side of the Picton Terminals property approximately three weeks ago as well as from Picton Bay where run-off from the terminal discharges into the bay. “We are awaiting results from the samples that will help to determine if there are impacts to the Bay from the salt storage piles on the property,� Davidson told the Gazette via email. Currently there are approximately 90,000 tons of bulk sodium chloride sitting atop of the Picton Terminals location that will be spread on roadways all over Eastern Ontario later this winter. It's expected a report on the discharge of run-off water into the bay will be formalized later this month. Ben Doornekamp of Picton Terminals said his operation is working with the MOECC to develop and institute a new run off collection system, a fact that was also confirmed
RUNNING OFF David MacKay and Michael Hymus show collections made from a ground water stream that originates on the eastern portion of Picton Terminals. Late last month, MacKay rendered a quantity of salt from 500 mL of water. The stream empties into Picton Bay. (Jason Parks/Gazette staff)
by Davidson. Doornekamp explained that the same system with asphalt pads and settling ponds has been in place since 1991 and was designed by the previous group that handled the salt until the Doornekamp family bought the former iron ore docks last year. Doornekamp said a system where there would be 'zero runoff' has been designed and could be built with extra containment and, in the case of a 75-year rain event, the system would keep a salty stream of water from entering Picton Bay. “If we had a maximum
rain event where Picton had the worst rains they've had in a 24-hour span and that lasted 10 days, the system would hold all the run-off,� Doornekamp told the Gazette. It was Doornekamp's neighbour that alerted MOECC staff that there may be salt water run-off entering Picton Bay. Michael Hymus shares a property line with the Picton Terminals. He noticed that a stream that occasionally originates in a valley on the east end of the commercial property, runs across his property, and eventually cascades into Picton
Bay might have a build up of salt in it. “I had my hands in the water near the waterfall, rinsing them off. Later in the day, I accidentally cut my knuckle,� Hymus explained. “I put my hand to my mouth and I could taste the salt.� Hymus wondered exactly how much salt water runoff was running across his property and employed former PECI principal David MacKay to conduct a rudimentary rendering test. MacKay was present during the Gazette's visit to the Hymus property last Monday afternoon and explained his methods. “We took two samples and rendered them on a stove,� MacKay explained. “I know that's not completely scientific to the nth degree but it provides an idea.� While the results of the rendering can't be proven independently and the process was not viewed by the Gazette, MacKay showed that enough salt to fill a shot glass was taken out of about 500 mL of water. That could be a significant amount for a ground water stream that, as Hymus explained, will dry up in the summer months but flows regularly in the spring and fall and volume will increase exponentially during periods of steady rainfall.
Forget the wine tours, Hymus is inviting any all people interested in seeing the runoff stream first hand taking part in a different kind of taste trail. Referring to a potential vote scheduled to take place today at Shire Hall regarding an
exemption to the noise bylaw that would change the hours of operation at Picton Terminals, Hymus said more information was required by County council before they could make an informed decision.

There's something about the Firelight Lantern Festival that's striking a chord with county residents. Local artist Krista Dalby and The Department of Illumination will present the Firelight Lantern Festival for a third year this Saturday, Nov. 14 at the Crystal Palace in Picton. Dalby says the festival is coming back for a third year because Prince Edward County residents have fully embraced it. Each year the festival's organizers host workshops throughout the county, instructing young and old how to build their own unique lanterns. “We had a workshop (Sunday) in Bloomfield and 40 people came, which is quite spectacular,” says Dalby. In total, more than 120 people attended 10 workshops in Picton, Athol, Wellington, Bloomfield, and Milford.
FUNKY Canadian funk-jazz band The Shuffle Demons will be per-
forming at this weekend’s Firelight Lantern Festival at the Crystal Palace in Picton.The festival begins with a parade from Benson Park toward the Crystal Palace at 6:30 p.m. Saturday. (Submitted photo)
She says she believes at least some of the festival's popularity can be attributed to it's accessibility. That means accessibility in relation to location, required skill level, and cost. “Little kids can make simple lanterns and adults who have been coming for several years are making really large, quite elaborate lanterns,” she says. “We're using really simple materials.” Each year participants are asked to create their own lanterns inspired by a theme.
This year's theme is plants and animals. “There's something really special when people bring something they've made with their hands and come into a public space to show it off and march down the road together with these beautiful handmade things,” she said. Dalby says it's also an event with a focus on community. “It's not really targeting a tourist market,” she said. “So much of our economy is so much faced outwards in
terms of trying to capture people's business and this is really just for us and just because it's fun.” The festival will begin with a community lantern parade. Participants with gather at Benson Park at around 6 p.m. before parading toward the Crystal Palace starting at 6:30. This year's musical guests are The Shuffle Demons, a high-energy Canadian band which Dalby says blends jazz and funk with wild costumes. “They're a really fun band,” says Dalby. The Crystal Palace will be full of light installations to explore and there will be a shadow puppetry performance, kids activities, and additional music from DJ Ombudsman. Admission to the festival is $5 for adults and $3 for children or pay-what-youcan. Dalby says the event has always had a pay-what-youcan policy for both the workshops and the festival itself. “A lot of families don't have a lot of money and we want for them to be able to come and still participate and see a great band,” she said.

Students aid CCSAGE’s legal challenge of Green Energy Act Whiteley impressed with volunteer team from Osgoode Hall ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER
WORKING TOGETHER CCSAGE directors Alison Walker (left), Anne Dumbrille (third from right) and Garth Manning (second from right) offered best wishes to their legal team members lawyer Alan Whiteley (centre) and Osgoode Hall Law School students (from left) Sabrina Molinari, Timon Sisic, and Amanda Spitzig Saturday at The Grange.(Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)
law, it's a prejudicial one and it's just not fair. If our justice system cannot recognized that then I have failed and I think the justice system has failed too." Whiteley said he has a contact at York University's Osgoode Hall Law School who introduced him to the program, which requires students to perform 40 hours of service assisting community interests. He indicated he advertised for five students, gave an outline of the work to be done, and within a week he had his applicants — Imelda Lo, Stephen Gray, Amanda Spitzig, Sabrina Molinari, and Timon Sisic. He said he gave each student a piece of the puzzle in legal terms and empowered them to play a role in building a case about the unjust nature of the act. "I told them to go out there, research the bar and find out what I have found already. Have I gone wrong? Are there new cases? Can you think of other legal theories? Each has come back with a legal brief. It's been a tremendous help in building the legal basis for our application." While the legal team worked on its arguments, other CCSAGE members have been developing factual arguments for the case that deal with environment, infrastructure, land values, heritage, and the economy. Ultimately, all the work will go to support a simple argument. "Our argument is, A) it's biased against the individual and B) prejudicial to people who live in rural areas," Whiteley said. "Wind turbines will never be built in Rosedale or Forest Hill, the setback

itself basically says you can't build them in urban areas. The whole impact of the Green Energy Act is being loaded onto rural communities at their expense. We're going to argue that is contrary to their Charter rights." Whiteley is now working on preparing a factum which will share the facts collected and the way the law applies to them. The students have helped without reservation. Though their time requirement is 40 hours, Whiteley said he expects they'll do more than that. "These five kids have unreservedly committed to help us. I think that's a remarkable thing to have happen and a good indication for the kind of lawyers being produced in Ontario," he said. "They've bitten into the process." Sisic, Molinari, and Spitzig attended Saturday's celebration. Each indicated a desire to practice environmental law as part of their reasoning for taking part in the process. Sisic studied the permits process and the steps the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change approvals director took to approve renewable energy processes. He said he was concerned by the process. "I do appreciate green energy policies but I do have my skepticism about the way they're forced through," he

Saturday afternoon, supporters of the County Coalition For Appropriate, Safe Green Energy (CCSAGE) raised their glasses to support a different course in the fight against industrial wind installations in the county. They gathered at The Grange of Prince Edward to toast lawyer Alan Whiteley and his team of five Osgoode Hall law students as they move toward a judicial review of the Green Energy Act and of the 27-turbine White Pines wind project approved for the south shore of the county. "We're really grateful. We wouldn't be doing this work without you," CCSAGE director Anne Dumbrille said, before explaining that Whiteley was the one who had the idea in the first place and did the work to secure the students who have agreed to work on the case for free. "We really appreciate all the background work and groundwork you hand the students have done to get this project in place. We honour you, we're so happy to have you." Whiteley said he felt the systems available for residents to fight renewable energy approvals under the Green Energy Act haven't been proven fruitful thus far. "What happened was that the (Environmental Review Tribunals) aren't getting anywhere. The whole system is stacked against objectors in favour of the wind turbine developers," he said. "What we've decided to do is to seek judicial review. It's basically going to the divisional court and asking them to look at the nature of the decision that was made to allow turbines to be erected in the first place." Whiteley said he personally decided he wanted to take on the case because of his concept of justice. "There are so many different reasons to oppose turbines. If you talk to different people in the room, they all have different reasons. Some are concerned about birds and the environment, some the economy, and some land values. My concern is justice," he said. "I don't think this is a just
said. "While I agree (green energy) is a good thing, it doesn't mean a free pass necessarily. There are still other environmental impacts of creating turbines we have to take into account — the manufacturing process, the habitats that are displaced — it's the same with solar panels, the acids and chemicals used to create those panels are destroying entire communities and ecosystems across the ocean. We have to take into account the rushing into these things." Sptizig said she dreams of a career writing environmental policy and said he involvement in the project has given her a great example of how specific pieces of policy can affect the broader community in a way no classroom work could. She studied Section 15 Charter equality rights. She also cited location as an issue.

COMMENTARY Athletes, entertainers possess a powerful social voice
AN old refrain bandied about within several newsrooms in North America belittles the coverage of sport by calling sports departments the “toy department.” The notion is that resources and energy shouldn’t be spent on following athletic pursuits with as much vigour as the council, police, or fire beats. The trouble with that attitude is that for even longer than that criticism has existed, sporting events have had a way to bring people together and captivate the interests of a society that yearns for something they can be inspired about or critical about that they can share with others. The same can be said for those who rigourously dedicate themselves to following arts, music, or pop culture. This week, two brave groups of young men from the sporting realm realized their craft does matter to people and they illustrated the power it has in society by using their status as leverage to stand up against perceived ills. Last week, the University of Missouri football team decided that it would not take part in any practices, meetings, community events, or games until the president of the university stepped down. The players argued that too many racially motivated attacks had occurred on their campus this year and the school’s administration didn’t do enough to address the environment. Some might look at the athletes and comment that they play a sport they love, many of them are receiving full- or partial-scholarships to play, and a few have a chance to make big money enjoying a game. They may argue that those players have it pretty good and have very little to risk by speaking out. On the contrary, however, those young men have a lot to risk. The university’s administration controls the funding their program receives, it has a handle on those scholarships, and it has a firm grip on any future plans they might have. Particularly for those players who aren’t stars, there was risk involved.
That said, those students knew the popularity of their game and they knew that by just missing one game, Missouri would feel a financial hardship of over $1 million. They hedged their bets because freedoms like equality and safety are important and because they felt they could make a difference. The president later resigned, largely due to the pressure of the team’s fan base. Closer to home in the Ontario Hockey League, a team the players skating for the Flint, Michigan entry, the Firebirds, walked off the team together after their owner fired their coaches for not playing his son enough. It should be mentioned the son stood with his teammates. Eventually, the owner relented under public pressure and a powerful message was sent about nepotism. The players returned to the ice and their coaches received new contracts. Amid the celebrity and the accolades that follow them, athletes, musicians, and actors are human and though they might not all be academics, politicians, or business people they experience the human condition in their lives just as we all do. In this case, they’ve realized by virtue of their talents, they have a voice and they have a distinct ability to speak up for what they believe in. Clearly, despite what former professional basketball player Charles Barkley once famously quipped when he told media “I am not a role model,” those who are in the public spotlight have an opportunity few others could dream of to reach the public and to influence those in positions of power. We would suggest they exercise that ability wisely — as these young men did this week — and they be held to account when they don’t as any leader in society would be. Perhaps the influence of achievers has been produced by a culture that places overemphasis on their achievements, but that’s the culture that has evolved. Theirs is a voice worth listening to and considering as evidenced recently.
PICTURING OUR COMMUNITY
Stories From Our Past n Mayor Fred Newman accepted the post as the Picton chair of the Beck Memorial Endowment. The fund was established to encourage Ontario residents to support the work of the Queen Alexandra Sanitorium for tuberculosis patients. n The annual Poppy Tag Day raised more than $200 for the care of local veterans. The amount raised by the women and girls participating in the effort was notable because the effort was completed in rainy weather. n Joseph Whattam’s Waupoos home was destroyed by fire. Only a piano, couch, and some small items were saved. No injuries were reported.
1935
n Shipments of canned goods were still steadily moving from the Picton harbour, even this late in the year. With full loads on ships out, the proposed closing date of Nov. 25 seemed hasty, but many agreed the weather could turn quickly. n A Picton man was sentenced to either 10 days of jail or a $25 fine and court costs after leaving the scene of an accident in front of Lockyer’s Greenhouse. The man, apparently blinded by headlights, struck a wagon with his car, damaging both vehicles. n A pile of coal on a Picton wharf had been burning for more than a week. It started by spontaneous combustion.
1955
n A new war monument was being planned for Picton. Those responsible for the design of the structure used the Gazette as a means to reach out to the community to devise a list of the fallen veterans whose names were to be engraved on the memorial. n Prime Minister Sam St. Laurent indicated there would be no action taken to stop the rising water levels on Lake Ontario. Several property owners expressed concern the high levels would erode their land. n The Gazette learned considerable damage was done to the pontoon of Miss Supertest as it set the mile speed record of 154 mph in local waters.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Trenton’s hospital fight is county’s fight too, let’s offer our support
Tomorrow, the advocacy group for Trenton Memorial Hospital, Our TMH along with the Ontario Health Coalition is holding a rally. It will be held in Centennial Park in Trenton at noon. This rally is being held in conjunction with the Ontario Health Coalition's Days of Action across Ontario. It is part of a province wide protest by citizens to stop hospital budget cuts and win funding to help our local hospi-
Electronic voting and cost-effective apartments
The philosopher Bertrand Russell said the United Kingdom does not have a democracy. It has a parliamentary form of government. Today, most people have a personal computer. Therfore Canadians could electronically vote on every bill that is discussed and analyzed in the House of Commons. Commons debates could be streamed lived and recorded to be played again. At a set time period, everyone could vote. This is true democracy (if it only it wasn’t for the hackers). On another topic, in the Toronto Star Nov. 2 about how the big, old Y-building in Peterborough is being renovated into apartments. Could this be done with the Picton Legion, ideally to help low-income people? Rickey-John Burkitt Picton
tal services. The health planning body for Southeastern Ontario is planning a major restructuring for all the hospitals from Perth/Smiths Falls to Brockville, Trenton and every town in between. They plan to cut services from local communities and centralize them into fewer towns or cities. Belleville certainly comes to mind as an example of centralization. Patients would have to drive further for care and
services across the region. Trenton is threatened by the most devastating cuts in the region. They are slated to lose 2,300 surgeries and half of their acute care beds. Make no mistake these cuts will affect the stakeholders in Prince Edward County as many county residents travel to Trenton for day surgery .This surgery will now take place in Belleville. The cataract surgery will remain in Trenton. Buses of supporters will

PECI basketball coach and County Clippers and Panther Hoops youth basketball programs founder, Rob Garden, watches with son Parker while coaching a game. Garden was recently the first county native to be named Basketball Person of the Year by the Bay of Quinte Board of Approved Basketball Officials.

be coming from all over Eastern and Central Ontario. Over the last 17 years we in Prince Edward County have endured endless service cuts to our local hospital Prince Edward County Memorial (PECMH), just as has Trenton Memorial Hospital. For that reason it is hoped that some county residents will show their support for Trenton hospital and be part of the 1,500 concerned citizens that will be in attendance.
In particular it would be beneficial if some members of the health-care advisory committee ( a committee of County council), POOCH ( the advocacy group for PECMH) and representatives of the chamber of commerce attend. Trenton Memorial Hospital is on life support. As sister hospital stakeholders let us do what we can to help revive it. Fran Renoy Picton
Council encouraged to support affordable housing in official plan
Last week council discussed how to provide affordable housing in the county. We support adding such a policy to the official plan. On Feb 18, 2015 council voted to approve an application to convert 57–59 King St into condos on the condition that the owner demonstrate that the rights of the existing residents had been protected. The owner told council he would ensure that all residents had acceptable alternative housing, possibly in a low-rental apartment he was building. He also offered moving assistance. In January, the landlord sent a letter to tenants offering apartments in the new Lyfe building being built on Downes Avenue. Tenants were shown blueprints and offered first refusal. Many asked for additional information about the units, which was not forthcoming. In addition, different tenants were given different pricing information. In June, tenants asked to meet with the landlord to clarify the timelines for turning 57–59 into condos. This was denied because,
his representative claimed, the plan was still at a "conceptual" stage. It was not until October that tenants learned that accommodation in the Lyfe building had been taken off the table, despite the assurances to council. Meetings with tenants have been cancelled and replaced with notices to residents, most of whom are seniors, that they are being evicted Jan. 31. Such actions have left many tenants scrambling for affordable housing. Some are also questioning why a landlord would have been given $697,000 in a forgivable loan by the province to build affordable housing. We strongly advise councillors to follow through with the implementation of a new policy in the official plan. If the excellent Picton urban centre secondary plan is approved by the province it will avoid county tenants being treated so unfairly in the future.

Great fall reads and award winners among library’s new acquisitions
The fall is a great time for book lovers with many new title releases and literary awards being announced such as the Giller Prize. The library stays current with all of the latest literary news to service the community and circulation staff are happy to answer related questions. We also welcome the chance to share our recommendations for useful book related web sites, one of which is our own library site at: peclibrary.org Additionally, each week the library builds the collection catalogue with new titles. We encourage everyone to sign up for the online new books list to find out what’s new at the library. Paper copies as well as e-book and audiobook formats are available for a wide variety of titles. Below are four of the latest books that have been added to the library collection. Fifteen dogs: an apologue by André Alexis is on the shortlist for this year’s Giller Prize. The story is based on the settling of a bet about the

nature of humanity. It begins when human intelligence is granted to a group of dogs at a vet clinic by the Greek gods Hermes and Apollo. The dogs escape to form a pack, only to become divided as they struggle with their new thoughts and feelings. According to the jury citation for its Giller position,
Fifteen dogs is, “…a novel filled with balancing acts: humour juxtaposed with savagery, solitude with the desperate need to be part of a pack, perceptive prose interspersed with playful poetry. A wonderful and original piece of writing that challenges the reader to examine their own existence and recall the age old question, what’s the meaning of life?” Another contender on the Giller list is Outline by Rachel Cusk. The setting is Athens where the protagonist is a novelist who has travelled to teach a creative writing course in the midst of a sweltering summer. The story unfolds through the sharing and revealing life experiences in newfound friendships. The Giller Jury praises Outline as, “Compulsively readable and dazzlingly intelligent,” and “Perfectly paced, without a word out of place, Outline reminds us of the truly formidable power that good literature has to change our hearts and our minds.”
A relatively new book added at the library that, though not up for an award, is receiving rave reviews is Kathleen Alcott’s Infinite Home. “A beautifully wrought story of an ad-hoc family and the crisis they must overcome together. Edith is a widowed landlady who rents apartments in her Brooklyn brownstone to an unlikely collection of humans, all deeply in need of shelter,” says the publisher description. “Crippled in various ways--in spirit, in mind, in body, in heart--the renters struggle to navigate daily existence, and soon come to realize that Edith's deteriorating mind, and the menacing presence of her estranged, unscrupulous son, Owen, is the greatest challenge they must confront together.” Closing with a recent nonfiction title, the library offers Canoe Country by the awardwinning writer Roy MacGregor. An entertaining read, the book looks at the relationship
between the canoe and this land by one of the most popular raconteurs of all things Canadian. Looking at early explorers, recounting modern paddling adventures and famous Canadian paddlers, it includes MacGregor’s family tales and his roots deep in the Algonquin wilderness. Many photos are included to help round out this chronicle of our enduring infatuation with the canoe. Writing in The Globe and Mail, James Raffan of the Canoe Museum called Canoe Country “a rollicking good read – engaging, thought-provoking and, at times, startling in the quirky turns of the research and storytelling…” If you would like to be kept up to date with all the new additions added weekly to the library collection, consider signing up for the New Books notification list. You may sign up simply online at www.peclibrary .org and click on the new books tab, or ask any library staff member to assist you.

PECI celebrates a decade of Venture Program adventures this school year Tree-top trekking among recent opportunities as students mix classroom, community learning GREGORY TURNER PECI CO-OP WRITER
Tree-top trekking, teamwork, smiles, and everything in between could be spotted at the Ganaraska Forest Centre last month. A group of Grade 10 Venture students from PECI learned aspects of teamwork and perseverance, during one of many trips they have participated in. Students say thats what they like about Venture. "We get to go on a lot of
trips as well as experience opportunities that kids that aren't in Venture couldn’t. Actually in a couple weeks we are going to start a first aid training program,’ said Braedan Kelly. “I’ve never tried out Venture, it seemed interesting, it's like an extended program from regular classes.” Classmate Monica Lindsay agrees. "Venture gives you different, bigger opportunities to learn. It teaches us a better understanding as well as
different ways to learn. We're actually traveling to Boston in April for our endof-the-year Venture trip." This year, PECI is celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Venture Program. Since year seven, the program has included for more experiential learning opportunities. The purpose of the program is to bring likeminded individuals together who are seeking a balance between academics and community involvement. Venture Grade 10 history

The family of the late Paul McConnell would like to thank you all for your love and support at the most difficult time of our lives. Thank you for your phone calls, visits, PMs, flowers, cards and food. I am still truly at a loss for words at the sudden passing of my beloved husband and for all of you who helped me and my kids. First to my brother Rod: I truly don’t know where you get your strength, but I am so thankful for you and all you have done for us. You were the first one to try to help Paul and you are still beside me, trying to get our affairs in order. I love you, Rod, and truly do appreciate what you have done for me. Thank you to Jim Young, Jerry Struss and Todd Lamorre, the EMT’s for trying to help my husband. To OPP Sgt. John Hatch and Officer Mike Stegina for the kindness and thoughtfulness shown to us. To Mike and Ben from Whattam’s Funeral Home for making it possible for my girls and I to have our time to say goodbye and for all your hard work in helping us make his farewell what he would have wanted. To Jackie Markland for your love and support on the day of the service. To Rocky (Brian Longwell) for speaking at Paul’s service. No one knew him like you did and you made his family very proud as you spoke about what kind of a man he was. Hugs to you! Again, thanks to Rod for speaking on behalf of the family. I know how hard it was for you, but you were just like a brother to him and he would have been proud of how you spoke of him. To Reverend Jennifer Sokolowsky: Your service was beautiful and thank you for addressing Paul’s cherished grandsons by saying what each one did with their Papa. To the Royal Purple ladies: Lunch was lovely, as usual. To my sons-in-law: Ryan, thank you so much for helping Rod on the morning of Paul’s passing and for bringing Christy so quickly. We love you as our own son and Paul thought the world of you. Joey, thanks for all your love and support with Candace and Jordan and for thinking of going to McFarland Park to tell our boy about his Papa’s passing as that was their special place. Thanks to Heather Coates for making that morning as normal as it could be for our boys until we got ourselves together to tell them about their beloved Papa. To my sister, Cindy, and my many nieces for spending most of the day with us. Special thanks to ESSROC shift boys for all your love and support and visits. To all the plant boys for signing his helmet. I know I will cherish it always. Thanks to Sheila and mom for keeping my girls and I from completely falling apart. To Dan and Richard Ferguson for the special tribute you put on your race car for Paul. I can see him with his chest out high. He would have been so proud! I am thankful he got back this year for a race and the win topped it off. He talked about it for days, being there at the finish line with the checkered flag and with you… just like old times! Back then it was Richard with the checkered flag. If he was here, Daniel, he would say, “Get the hell back in that car and go get me a championship!” We all know you deserve it. You can’t lose next year as Paul will be your copilot. To my girls, your dad and I love you both more than our own lives and I am so sorry you have to go through this. Just know, please, how much your dad loved both of you and his grandkids. He would have given you the world if he could have. I love you and will always be here for you both. Again, thanks everyone for all you have done for us in what has been the worst time in our lives, for your love and support. Words don’t seem enough to say. Sending our love to you all. Thanks from the bottom of our hearts. Kathy McConnell and kids
teacher Ashley Koutroulides describes the benefits venture provides. ”I believe the kids get a sense of family between one class each day in the span of four semesters. They also have community connections. Every December kids help around the community, they help with things like Food for Learning, decorating nursing homes, and even making up Christmas baskets for the food bank to give to those who are in need." she said. Despite all the benefits, trips, and opportunity, applying isn’t a simple process. The application process starts in the spring, forms go home with all Grade 8 students along with a newsletter with details regarding any questions parents may have. A future Venture student's application is not to be filled out formally. Students may submit their applications in the form of presentations that show who they are. The application can be anywhere from a scarp book, to a piece of artwork, or even a video to show personal hobbies, interests, and or goals the students strive to achieve. However, the program does come with two requirements before submission. Grade 8 students must hand in their latest report card as well as a letter of reference.

Slow Food The County planning one-day festival featuring four films, special menus Nov. 28 CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER
Film lovers and foodies alike will be able to savour the latest offering from Slow Food The County. Slow food announced it will host the county's first food and film festival — The Best of Devour! and Filmlicious! The one-day event will bring four award-winning films to the Regent Theatre and special menus to participating local restaurants on Nov. 28. The event is an offshoot of Devour! The Food Film Fest — an internationally acclaimed festival held annually in Wolfville, N.S. The fes-
tival took place Nov. 4–8 and featured 75 food-related films from around the world. The festival was originally created by Slow Food Nova Scotia, but has taken on a life of its own. Slow Food Prince Edward County chair Peter Fleming said organizers of Devour! have seen that festival grow significantly since its inception five years ago and were seeking to expand its reach. “It's been a huge success for them,” he said, noting that Wolfville is a small town situated within an hour from the major centre of Halifax. “They would like to take that festival on the road and get some
branding for it, so they would like to do various events around the country.” The Best of Devour! will be the first “out of province test run” Fleming said. The winning films have not yet been announced, but are expected to be revealed early this month. Winning films in four categories from the five-day festival will be shown locally, the first two films — a short feature film and a full-length documentary — being shown at the Regent at 2 p.m. A short documentary and a fulllength feature will be shown starting at 7:30 p.m. Before the second screening,
local restaurants participating in Filmlicious! will offer special menus. Four local chefs have signed up to participate — Elliot Reynolds at The Hubb Eatery, Michael Hoy at 106 Bridge Street, Colin Williams at Williams Family Diner, and Sebastien Schwab, location to be confirmed. More chefs are expected to be announced in the coming weeks. It is recommended that those looking to try one of the special Filmlicious! menus contact the restaurant to book a reservation. “There are limited seats in all of those, so people would be well advised to go online and start reserving,” said
Fleming. Tickets for The Best of Devour! are $15 for one screening or $25 for both and can be purchased at the Regent box office or online at www.theregenttheatre.org. Fleming said the event could continue if the interest is there. “This is a trial balloon and if it works we'd probably be nuts not to do it again or do similar events,” he said. “There has been fair success with (food-themed movies) with films like Super Size Me or if you look at feature films there's been Babette's Feast and, for this region with all the foodies and wines, there
are wine films like Sideways.” For more information and updates on the festival visit www.slowfoodthecounty.ca. Slow Food The County is a chapter of Slow Food International. The local chapter has more than 85 members and hosts four to five events per year to celebrate and raise awareness of locally-produced good, clean, and fair foods. Good meaning good in quality, flavoursome, and healthy, clean meaning that production doesn't harm the environment, and fair meaning accessible prices for consumers and fair conditions and pay for producers.

Potential buyers were lined up outside the doors Friday morning for the annual The Maker’s Hand fine art show and sale. Clearly, the threeday event promised to be a fruitful endeavour for the 40 vendors who travelled from across Ontario and Quebec to set up shop. Through the rows of booths at the Prince Edward Community Centre hall, it appeared there were colourful trinkets and baubles for all tastes. Wearables such as handmade clothing and jewelry, pottery and carved wooden bowls, decorative metal and glass items and photography were among the many original wares on display for discerning customers to try out.

Her versatile knits allow Saras to dress any women from size 2 to 22. One of the secrets are adjustable clasps one can loop fabric through to create different looks to accentuate features. “It allows the wearer to become a co-creator,” she said. “Almost anything you can put on and go, but if you have an extra five minutes you can create something fabulous and feel like an artist as well.” Saras said she never stops working at her craft, calling it a “blessing and a cross” to be creative. That said, she loves the idea of consulting with customers and sees her job as more than just selling. She said The Maker’s Hand has been a great environment over the years with many loyal followers. At nearly the other end of the hall, Bob Aucoin stands before a wall filled with rows of metal belt buckles. No two appear the same as the colours and patterns differ with each piece. The Elginburg metal worker said he started working with buckles after discovering his daughter had an allergic reaction to some metal belt buckles she was wearing. He picked a

Seeing her reaction, he decided he’d work with food grade stainless steel to create a commodity anyone can enjoy. “Every one of them is hand forged, so they all turn out different. I kept thinking of different ways to come up with different buckets,” he said, offering his secret is remembering what parts of the anvil created which patterns. “I had been an iron worker doing custom framers and heavier installations, but I realized I enjoyed doing the buckles and thought it’s a good area of business to get
into aside the other work.” Aucoin said the buckles are lighter, they are easy to ravel to shows with and practical to ship around the world. They also take between 45 minutes and an hour-and-ahalf to make. Exposure and interest is growing. Showing his wares with his wife, Aucoin said he goes to a number of shows in the area but he likes Picton and finds people here are interested in art and original items. He said show participation is beneficial as it does sometimes spin off into contracts for other projects. Aucoin said the show got off to a busier

start than he expected. Carole and John Bandurchin brought their Ashburn Pottery display from the Baltimore area to their third show in the past four years. Carole got her start in pottery while working as a teacher when she found some clay in a supply room in 1979 and took courses to learn what to do with it. Over the past 36 years, she said the couple has changed its style three or four times. They’ve also changed their process as John started making pottery himself about 15 years ago, while Carole worked on glazes and firings. Carole said her philosophy for the craft is simple. “I’m doing what I like and seeing how it turns out,” she said. “I’m usually thinking about experimenting in different directions.” Despite that, she said, many customers like to see consistency in pottery and have expectation to find pieces that potters have been doing for a while. At The Maker’s Hand this year, the couple had a wide selection of offerings in earthy tones, including dinner ware, clocks, tiles, and their signature item, goblets. While staples are important, John said there is still plenty of room for creativity in the craft. “We’re always trying to do something new, but it’s not easy. Everyone wants something useful as well as decorative. Everything here is sort of functional,” he said. The Maker’s Hand is Ashburn Pottery’s first fall show so John said he doesn’t know the market this year, but added the show has always been a good venue for sales. “This time of year a lot of people are starting to shop for Christmas and are thinking about gifts for somebody. “These are very giftable items.” Even longtime exhibitors were pleased with the response to this year’s show, supported by the Prince Edward County Arts Council. Local photographer Peggy de Witt returned to the show with her array of county shots and also a new collection of more artistic pieces with less of a tangible connection to this place. She said there was no shortage of interest over the weekend. “It’s been steady all day.”

Prepare for winter driving by doing vehicle maintenance, checking conditions
The Government of Ontario asks drivers to help keep the roads safe. You can prepare for winter by getting your vehicle a maintenance check-up before winter arrives. Always keep a survival kit in your vehicle. Consider installing four winter tires for better traction, braking and handling. There is now a winter tire insurance discount. Find out more from your insurance carrier. Planning is also important. Choose your route ahead of time. Check your local weather forecast and road conditions by calling Debbie 511, or checking @511Ontario MacDonald Moynes on Twitter before you head out. Consider delaying your trip if the weather is bad. Adjust your driving to and stay in control. Keep a suit current road and weath- safe distance from other er conditions.

The government states that more than 1,000 snowplows and salt and sand spreaders are used to fight winter storms on provincial highways and that plowing begins as soon as two centimetres of snow are on the pavement.

Barry Turpin, Jim Dunlop, Steve Ferguson, and Quaiff voted against the motion. Quaiff said the decision is upsetting. “It's too bad we've gone through the process we've gone through to come up with the least desired plan going forward, knowing full well that that plan will no doubt be tested at the OMB as being unacceptable and, in my opinion, it is totally unacceptable,” he said. The plan had been the first off the table during the last council size discussion as councillors reached an impasse between the status quo and resident Gary Mooney's three-ward plan. The plan didn't appear to garner significant support through the public consultation survey with 16.6 per cent of 649 respondents identifying it as their first option, 25 per cent identifying it as their second option, and 52.5 per cent identifying it as their third option. Quaiff had urged councillors during the meeting to move the process along and select a pair of proposals to be vetted by staff against the criteria that was set at the start of the process — odd number of council members, voter parity, equitable distribution of population, respect for identifiable communities of interest, natural physical boundaries, and to serve the larger public interest. “The nine-ward plan will fail from all counts because
it doesn't meet any of the criteria that was set up during our process,” said Quaiff. “We heard very much tonight that the status quo didn't meet that as well. The only two that made any sense of meeting the criteria were the two-ward and three-ward plans and council didn't have an appetite to send that forward to staff for further review.” Councillors had reached a stalemate at the Oct. 29 committee-of-the-whole meeting to deal with the issue and, for much of Tuesday's discussion, it looked like the issue was destined to end in another tie vote. A motion to bring forward the nine-ward plan for a staff report on how well it met the criteria failed in an 8–8 vote earlier in the meeting and a motion to bring forward the status quo and the three-ward plan for further review lost by the same margin. “I'm very suspicious as to why all of a sudden the nine-ward proposal made merit to the majority of council,” said Quaiff. Following the meeting, Quaiff said he's fully expecting the issue to be taken to the OMB. “As far as I'm concerned we've subjected ourselves to an OMB appeal and, at the end of the day, I guess council will have to defend the position that they voted on,” Quaiff said.
of $1.2-million aerial fire truck CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER
After much debate council has approved the purchase of a new aerial fire truck. Council voted 10–6 in a recorded vote in favour of the purchase of the $1.2-million vehicle with councillors Steve Graham, David Harrison, Janice Maynard, Brad Nieman, Dianne O'Brien, and Roy Pennell voting against. The single-axle truck has a 107-foot ladder, has the capabilities of a pumper truck with a water capacity of 500 gallons. It will be used as a first-run truck, responding to all emergency calls except for medical first response and grass fires. Corporate services and finance commissioner Susan Turnbull said the purchase of the new truck would allow the fire department to combine the functions of two trucks into one, eliminating the need to purchase a new pumper in the future. The new truck would be stationed at the new Picton fire hall. “Call history, exclusive of medical response calls, indicate the new truck will run first an average of 80 times per year from that location,” she said. The purchase of the new truck will be funded $800,000 through the municipality's reserve for fire equipment replacement and $400,000 through development

charges. Councillor Jamie Forrester had been vocal in his opposition to the spending, but said Tuesday he'd had all his questions answered and supported the purchase. “This has been a difficult process and I've been pretty much opposed right from the get-go and it was more spending the large amount of money,” he said. “As it's gone on I think we've done our due diligence.” Councillor Jim Dunlop also supported the purchase saying those in opposition to the purchase often point out it's only going to be used a couple of times per year. “In an ideal world we hope we never have to use it,” he said. While previous reports indicated the current 50-foot aerial needed about $25,000 to fix a cracked and leaking torque box — the mechanism that controls the extendable ladder — chief Scott Manlow explained Tuesday that more upgrades would be needed in order for the vehicle to be viable. A report presented to council on Tuesday says the repair costs could reach up to $101,200 when factoring in new tires and rims, a new transmission, a new engine and a pump. When Mayor Robert Quaiff questioned how the repair costs could rise so suddenly, Manlow said when he put the initial report forward, and repair costs reached $30,000 for the current 27year old aerial, he “assumed we met the benchmark and it wasn't prudent to follow that through.” “That's when I stopped the investigation of putting money into that vehicle,” he said. “Consequently, after the deferral motion I took it upon myself to make sure we did give a through analyzation of what is needed because I would hate to put $30,000 of taxpayers money into a truck and have other issues.” Councillor Nieman was among those who didn't support the purchase, saying the municipality could get a used vehicle in good shape for much lower cost. “I can't support the new truck, not for $1.2 million,” he said. “For a fraction of the price for a used truck, you may have to buy two in that 20-year period — my understanding is the new truck should last 20 years — so if we bought two trucks for a fraction of the price we're still up money.”

Mayor, MPP offer messages of gratitude for legal team CHALLENGE, from page 5
"Just because something is a good thing doesn't mean it is a right thing," she said. "You can't be guided by money. Yeah, green energy is something we want, but I'd say location is something that needs to override everything else. When it affects people's lives and natural habitats, there has to be more consideration." Molinari, a First Nations student who says the environment has always been of crucial importance to her, studied the impact on affected migratory birds, bats, and butterflies. She said she likes the idea of helping innocent people fight against the law itself. "I really liked the idea of helping a community who seem to be build a bit by this decision," she said. "The outlook, in my opinion is we get to stay on and we'll win because we deserve to." Sisic said the students did the bulk of their work in September before turning their focus back to their studies and to possibly securing
summer employment in their field. When the case comes before divisional court, however, he says he'll keep a keen eye on the events. "I hope it goes well. (Legal challenges) have been unsuccessful in the past, but I hope this case is the one that breaks the chain and I'm optimistic about it." Whiteley said once he files his factum, the ministries involved will have to file their paper. Cross examination will take place on the documents provided and then he will give the court an indication he's ready to proceed. It will then give a date, which Whiteley believes will be in 2016. The court will proceed with a hearing based on the written information provided. He said it will be a difficult process. "It's going to be a long, hard fight. We're up against big money, big government, and big law firms. I have tried to explain to people the difficulty of what we're doing and I think they understand that. They all want to be able to say we've

made our case, this isn't right, and some remedy should follow." Local politicians lent their support to the project, it was revealed Saturday. CCSAGE director Garth Manning read a letter penned by MPP Todd Smith to encourage the legal team in its action. "This government's actions have — I hope not irrevocably — created a rift in this community, pitted neighbours against each other as ones who profit and others who seek to protect

their property, and pitted citizens concerned about the environment against the very ministry that is supposed to be protecting it. These results created by well-meaning people of zeal were not intended, but they have nevertheless occurred," Smith wrote. "It is to you to approach the bar as so many distinguished litigators have done before you and determine if any law with such devastating unintended consequences can endure in a province such as ours." Mayor Robert Quaiff attended the function and spoke about the frustration of fighting the Green Energy Act and of hearing environment minister Glen Murray say the act is outdated, but changes don't apply to projects that have already been approved. He expressed appreciation for the efforts. "I'm certainly grateful. It means a lot for this community. In the words of Yogi Berra, 'It's not over until it's over.' That's the way I firmly feel about industrial wind turbines in my county."

Local driver tops final race of Super DIRTcar Modified Series World Finals
Kerr captures checkered flag in North Carolina JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER
A county boy pulled into victory lane in the heart of the American auto racing country Saturday night. Picton native Tim Kerr, 29, was the winner of the final race of the Super DIRTcar Big Block Modified Series World Finals event in Charlotte, North Carolina Sunday evening. Racing on a dirt oval adjacent to Charlotte Motor Speedway, Kerr started in eighth position in the final race and picked his way through the field before making a move to the head of the pack around lap 30. A regular weekend racer this past summer at tracks in Fulton and Brewerton, New York as well as Super DIRTcar events all over eastern North America, it was a monumental and historic win for the county native as he became one of just a few Canadian drivers to ever win a series event race. “The dirt track at Charlotte is a really tire-sensitive track and we were really getting thin on the right rear tire,” Kerr told the Gazette Tuesday morning. “The cords were starting to show and it's a good thing there wasn't a couple of more laps left in the race
because there wasn't many laps left in the tire.” Kerr was unable to qualify for the final through the heat races on Friday and said that a bad driver decision mid-heat was to blame. “It was no fault of the car or anyone else, I just made a bad decision but we knew we had a car that could win it, we just had to put together a mistake-free race,” Kerr explained. Using a provisional placing to get into Sunday night's race, Kerr put together the 40 laps of his young career Sunday evening. “I didn't even really know what was going on because I had lapped the field and you get like that when you are in the groove. I saw the checkered flag but I still kept going, I took a an extra lap just to make sure,” Kerr said with a laugh. The young man said his thoughts drifted to his family and his girlfriend Emily Brant as he made his way to the scales for the final weigh in to ensure the car has raced at the legal weight. “There was still a couple of tense moments on the scales making sure we weren't light but everything checked out,” Kerr said.

Dukes bounce back with three of four points After overtime loss to Newmarket, Wellington earns win over Whitby JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER
The ebb and flow of the Wellington Dukes 2015-2016 season continues as the club picked up three of a possible four points last weekend. Wellington (11-10-1) dropped a 2-1 decision Thursday night in Newmarket during the second overtime period before rebounding with a solid 5-3 win at home over the Whitby Fury. It was an important stand for the club who manage to keep pace with the middle of the pack of the Ontario Junior Hockey League's Northeastern Conference after a dry spell two weeks ago where Wellington dropped a pair. Yes, the local Junior A squad has yet to be more than a couple of games over the .500 mark and really hasn't sunk below the median for longer than a couple of games. Now, if the club could just put together a string of five or six wins and find itself on a consistent role, their coach and general manager would be pleased. “It's really important for us to build that consistency where we could win four, five or six games in a row and get off this roller coaster where we have these two game set backs,” Marty Abrams told the Gazette Tuesday. “We as a staff need to see that consistent effort and execution.” Game plan execution was key in Friday night's win as Wellington got ahead and stayed ahead of the Fury who put together a rather solid road effort. “They have a good team and a good offence,” Abrams said of the opposition. “I thought we executed or game plan and our best players were our best players. When that happens, we usually win.” The forward unit of Luc Brown, Ben Sokay and

Dylan Mascarin factored in on all five Wellington tallies and Abrams called the line's work on the evening phenomenal. Sokay had a power-play marker in the first while he and Brown set up Mascarin for Wellington's second goal at 5:41 of the second. The Dukes looked to be running away with it later in the frame when Mascarin set up Justin Bean for Wellington's third straight but Rylee McKinnon got the Fury back in the game late in the stanza. Former Duke Nik Coric got Whitby to within one at 8:07 but Sokay made a nice tip in effort sneak through Whitby stopper Dan Manella at 11:18. The Fury again made things interesting with a goal just under a minute later but Wellington ground out any Fury flurry in the last seven or so minutes of the contest until Mascarin

shot the puck into an empty cage with under a minute to go to make the final 5-3. A night earlier in Newmarket, Wellington was extremely sound defensively but just couldn't find a way to beat Hurricanes netminder Connor Ryckman more than once. Jacob Panetta's powerplay blast in the first would be the lone Wellington tally on the night. “I thought overall we played really well for over 60 minutes,” Abrams said of Thursday's contest. “We had lots of opportunities and we had good defensive play all night.” Ryan Young would score in the second for the hosts and make it 1-1 where the score would stay through 60 minutes. A four-on-four period solved nothing and the game was moved to a second overtime where only
three players a side were utilized. “We've seen it all season that anything can happen with that three-on-three and we just had a bad break that led to their goal,” Abrams explained. Young's second of the contest was the double overtime winner. Olivier Lafreniere started both games for Wellington, making 22 saves on Thursday and 28 on Friday night. “I thought it was important for him to bounce back and he played solid and made those timely saves a team in our position needs to be successful,” Abrams added. After picking up points in four of its last six games Wellington hosts the Toronto Patriots Friday evening at Essroc Arena before heading to Aurora Saturday night to play the North Divisionleading Tigers.

The Picton Gazette
Canadian Air Force busier than Keiver can recall at any point in his career MILITARY, from page 1
“I’ve wondered if I’ve done everything I could for my wife Jennifer (and children) Kayla and William should I not come home. I’ve missed birthdays, recitals, hockey games, and anniversaries. I’m not the only one, nor am I the first. Sadly, I doubt I’m the last.” With photographs of young Canadian soldiers from the wars throughout history flashing behind him, Keiver spoke about the First World War 100 years ago and the call to arms. “It was a time when service above self meant leaving the safety of home to fight for a cause half the world away,” he said. “Young men in the prime of their life who had everything to live for went. Some were adults, some were teens, and some were boys… you can see on their faces how young they actually are,” he said. Instead of being at school, helping in their farms, playing with friends, or getting ready for university, they suited up and headed overseas. “They were brave soldiers. A half a million of them ages 13-50 had no idea of the horrors they would have to face in the trenches overseas. Over 67,000 still lie buried in cemeteries in Belgium and France.
Another 250,000 brought the scars of war home with them. Their heroism changed Canadian history. Regardless of their age, these ordinary Canadians accomplished extraordinary things.” Keiver opined about the tragic losses from war, pondering aloud if one of those men might have been the person who had a cure for cancer. Some 20 years later, he noted young Canadians returned overseas to fight by land, sea, and air in efforts to liberate territories across Europe, the Middle East, and in Asia. He said many historians also saw the war effort as a turning point in society as young women joined the fight at home and abroad. Following the war, they gained a larger role in society. Through the efforts of those fighting in the World Wars, the Korean War, Cold War, peacekeeping and humanitarian missions as well as recent conflicts in Afghanistan and the Middle East, Keiver said Canadians defended the freedoms we take for granted. “The debt can never be repaid. It came at a terrible cost,” he said. The Afghanistan mission is one Keiver could focus on because he was there among the 40,000 Canadians that
STANDING FOR FREEDOM CFB Trenton base commander
Col. Colin Keiver said he believes the Canadian Forces will always be busy because Canada stands up for the right things and aids others who are less fortunate. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)
served between 2001 and 2014. Some 158 never returned, however Keiver is certain the mission served its purpose. “Canada’s efforts did make a difference. I have stood there on the ground and I can tell you today it is better than it was prior to Sept. 11, 2001. Women and girls can actually go to school. It’s a better place than it was.” Keiver said, however,
threats of suicide bombers and roadside attacks were a constant risk and landmines and friendly fire claimed lives. He said the price of the mission is still being paid. “Vehicle accidents, illnesses, and the psychological strain of serving in such a dangerous environment also took a heavy toll, a toll that I continue to wrestle with as a base commander.” While some might believe
military operations have slowed after the conclusion of the Afghanistan conflict and may slow further after bombing stops in Syria and Iraq, Keiver said there is still much to be done protecting Canada’s sovereignty, fighting natural disasters, and taking part in international efforts. He indicated he has never seen the Canadian Forces as busy as they are now. “I can state right now with certainty having been in the Air Force 24 years, this is the busiest we’ve ever been and that includes Afghanistan,” he said. Right now, Keiver said Canada is involved in five small missions in Africa with support from airplanes based at CFB Trenton. It is also involved in reassurance measures in Europe and it just completed the largest NATO exercise in 20 years over Portugal and Germany. Flights over Syria and Iraq are still taking place right now. “We are very busy and I predict that is not going to change,” he said. “The destinations might change, the missions might change, but I don’t think we’ll get less busy. I believe Canada has values that we’re obligated to deliver and enforce to the rest of the world.” He said Canada is a nation that stands for the right things
and has the right values. It is one that stands up for those who are less fortunate than its own. For Remembrance Day, Keiver challenged each person hearing his speech to take two minutes from their busy days to say thank you and say they will remember the exceptional young Canadians who have sacrificed so much for our freedom. Keiver also reminded the clubs the scope of RCAF Trenton in the busy military. He said its budget is one-quarter of Canada’s Air Force budget with a payroll of $110 million and an operating budget of $160 million annually. It was a $395-million impact on the local community. Some 3,200 regular force members, 600 reserves, and 800 civilians work on the base. “It gives me a great deal of pride to be here and represent these men and women , they are exceptional people,” he said. “Any time I get demotivated, I look at these exceptional young Canadians. They motivate and inspire me.” The colonel said CFB Trenton also enjoys community support that is unrivalled at other air bases, which is crucial. He said the community gives families the help they need to let their family members bravely answer the call for Canada.
CFB Trenton commander says refugee relocation targets pose challenge Transportation, integration of 25,000 a tall order ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER
While Canada’s new government has talked about making the intake of 25,000 Syrian refugees by Jan. 1 a priority, the base commander at CFB Trenton says it will be a challenge. Speaking at a joint Rotary
and Kiwanis meeting at the Picton Legion Tuesday, Col. Colin Keiver said the Air Force alone does not have the means to complete that type of transfer alone. “That is a lot of people. To give you a comparison, we when we had 3,300 folks in Afghanistan we were rotating every six months, it took the Air Force about six weeks to rotate 3,300 people out,” he said. “Do the math, with over 25,000 in the same amount of time, it will not be an Air
Force-only solution and it will not be a Department of National Defence-only solution.” Keiver said he believes the effort would require chartering cruise ships out of the Mediterranean or taking up Air Canada on its offer to help with the transport. Although the logistics of transporting the refugees is one concern, Keiver said he believes Canada is still struggling with a great question and that is where to put the
people once they’re here. “It’s a monumental undertaking,” he said. “Getting them here is probably the easiest thing, it is where do they go when they get here and how are they absorbed into the communities and society.” Keiver said he’s been asked how many bed spaces he has in Trenton. He noted there are 1,100 to 1,200 spaces he can use, but that brings a host of other issues. One is the fact the base does not have a kitchen set up to serve Halal
foods required by the Islamic faith. Another is security. “I’ll be honest. I’ll be candid. I worry about things like security. I’m the largest Air Force base in Canada and I’ve taken delivery of all this new equipment. The simple act of putting 1,100 non-military personnel into the largest Air Force base in Canada causes me concerns — even if they’re the best intentioned people.” The commander said he still believes however that
with challenges come opportunities. For example, he said an influx of people could mean business for the Canex store on the base, which could be open 24 hours seven days a week. Otherwise, he doesn’t know what the move may bring. Keiver said he’ll wait to hear what the intergovernmental committee tasked with organizing the efforts decides it is going to do and how that model will impact the military.
Board seeks Chamber participation from representatives of all sectors in the local economy CHAMBER, from page 2
"I can see how being a member will save me money as a business owner and that's attractive," she said. Leclerc added that review highlighted the Chamber might have been over-focusing on tourism and neglecting to show how it can be of advantage to those in other sectors of the economy. "It takes time to figure out all those pieces," he said. "Tourism has owned commerce. Tourism keeps us all
here, it certainly keeps my business here but a lot of commerce businesses have felt we've just been a tourism office." The changing focus also reflects the input of the nineperson volunteer board, which has representatives from a wide cross-section of the economy including retailers, tourism operators, hospitality providers, agricultural operations, and the not-forprofit sector. Larry Ritchie, a board member for just over a year, said board members took a
wide-reaching approach to their work and they weren't afraid to adopt practices that were successful with other Chambers. "We looked all over the place for what people are doing. If it is working some place, we're going to do it here. We took bits and pieces from here, there and yonder," he said. At the same time, Ritchie said even he learned there is value offered that some already in business might not know exist. One of those items
does benefit tourism and hospitality operators. "One of the neatest things we have is filling the B&Bs. You get on the program, let the Chamber know your vacancies and we'll fill them.” Fellow board member Lynne McMullen agreed, adding "Some never realized the benefit they received until we put it into print." With respect to staffing in the face of the change, Leclerc said he expects changes could happen over time as growth occurs. At present, the Cham-
ber's board plans to operate with an open-door policy that welcomes participation from all sectors. The board said it intends to hire to replace general manager Mike McLeod (who left last week for another opportunity), but that job may change in the future. The Chamber is looking to continue providing a go-to site for tourists, a service it provides thanks to a year-toyear contract with the County, but it is also hoping to sustain itself through broadening commercial services. Board
members are looking to coordinate services like training programs for health and safety, or forklift operation, marketing strategies, and any other programs that might make any business stronger. Community input and involvement will also be a key. "We welcome participation. We need people," said McMullen. "We want to create a network so that we can work for the business community in all capacities." A retooled web site is also expected in 2016.
Neighbour hopes for a full report from the MOECC to understand more about run-off at site RUN-OFF, from page 3
“Councillors are voting on things and they don't understand how it is going to affect the rest of situation. (Picton Terminals) want to make more noise so they can have more production and I'm saying we need to slow the whole thing down and examine everything before there are green lights,” Hymus said. As for the run-off collec-
tion initiative, Doornekamp told the Gazette he could have the system in place in about two weeks if he receives the go ahead from the MOECC. He said his company was concerned about the potential for run-off into Picton Bay. “Obviously we have to be concerned about runoff but also keeping in mind that it's salt and there's no endangered specifies or species at risk in that portion of the bay,” He
said, adding there are no provincial standards or approved framework for the handling of bulk sodium chloride for use in road applications with the exception of laws for municipalities once they've received the material. “There are no rules for bulk salt handling. It's been a ball that's been dropped by all of us but what the MOECC is trying to do is go to sites and find an idea that works,”
Doornekamp said. “I can tell you that there is not a single bulk storage site in Ontario where there aren't some runoff issues.” With the new system in place, Picton Terminals could set an industry standard for bulk salt handlers in the province. “We could be the only site in Ontario that would have zero run-off system and make us a provincial leader,”
Doornekamp said. “We are not ignoring concerns and we remain conscious of the situation.” MacKay, who lives on the south shore of the Picton Bay directly across from Picton Terminals, is hopeful for a full report from the MOECC to help him and his neighbours grasp the situation they may find themselves in. “I'm just asking questions and I would like some
answers. We clearly need road salt for safety purposes. But why is it when municipalities store road salt, it had to be on non-permeable pads and covered at all times but here it's different ? What does seepage mean? Is this an acceptable level of salt water run off ? If the ministry tells me this is OK, then I can sleep at night because they would know better than me. But until then, I have these concerns,” he said.

Panthers capitalize on strong start to eliminate Centre Hastings in quarter-final Stingy defence lifts PECI seniors into Bay of Quinte semi-final today against Centennial ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER
With a strong start Tuesday, the PECI Senior Basketball Panthers easily defeated the Centre Hastings Centurions 39-10 to advance to today’s Bay of Quinte semifinal action. Led by eight first-quarter points by Vanessa Willis, the Panthers outscored the Centurions 17-2 through the first stanza. Coach Rob Garden said he felt the Panthers were seeking retribution. “We didn’t play well at Bayside and I think they were pretty upset with their performance in that game, so I feel this was a bit of a statement game to say that wasn’t our normal game,” he said. While Garden liked his team’s offensive burst, he really liked limiting the road side to two points early.
“To hold a team to only one basket in the first quarter means you’re ready to go,” he said. “Our defence was strong all game, we didn’t allow them to score many points at all. That’s our best defensive game of the year, but that start was huge.” The coach said his team practiced Monday with Loyalist College head coach Jamie McCourt. He helped them improve movement against a zone, which helped the Panthers prepare for Centre Hastings. “We were better prepared for what they threw at us and I think (the start) was exactly what we had game-planned,” he said. “Also, we didn’t miss. When you make the easy ones early, that gives you confidence going forward.” Willis had a game-high 12 points and while she was an engine that made the offence
go, every Panther in the lineup got on the score sheet for the first time this season. Hailey Van Rossum contributed seven points, Leah Snider five, and Kylie Moyer four. The Panthers also managed to dominate on the boards much of the game with guards like Casey and Allison Hegadorn and Lynsey Corbin even getting their hands on loose balls. “We’ve been waiting for that. It’s a bit of confidence,” said Garden adding those girls seem to be more comfortable crashing and banging with older girls come playoff time. Today’s game expects to be a close finish as the Panthers and Centennial Chargers had identical season records. Head-to-head, PECI won a tournament game in overtime and Centennial took the season game by three points,
which secured second place and a home-court advantage. Garden said the Chargers are a big, strong, experienced team but the Panthers have improved too. “We have to keep doing what we’ve been doing defensively and we’re finishing at a much higher rate offensively now,” he said. The tip-off is at 4:30 p.m. The winner of the game advances to the Bay of Quinte Conference senior final, which will take place at Loyalist College Saturday at 8 p.m. With Tuesday’s win, the Panthers also qualified for COSSA competition. Garden said it’s a nice accomplishment, but not the immediate focus now. “That’s great to get that crossed off the list, but these girls don’t want that. They want to go on and win a Bay of Quinte championship.”

Creativity: In Touch With the Divine All creative acts are sacred because when we are creative we are consciously engaging with the Divine. - David Rankine Celtic artist David Rankine will join the ministry team at St. Andrew’s in Picton this week-end as its third annual Artist-inResidence. David brings a priestly role to this position in that he is committed to art that heals and facilitates the healing of community. He speaks about this by identifying himself as one who “facilitates Rev. Lynne Donovan the opening of healing space—or a bubble-which gives room for individuals to expand themselves and to connect with the creative spirit or the sacred place within themselves.” What drives David when he is creating is a longing to reconnect with a childlike awe; this is the place where he has the most profound sense of the Divine. David’s description of the creative process is reminiscent of the mystics who talked about an experience of the sacred that dissolved all boundaries of space and time. David is excited about journeying with the St. Andrew’s community because of its vision for living out of Curiosity, Creativity and Courage. We believe that these are the tools required to recognize or to give birth to the Divine in our midst. We identify ourselves as: A Circle of Friends on a Quest to understand and to practice the radical love of Jesus. We have learned that living into this vision requires a creative process. It has invited us to let go of all those beliefs and practices that killed creativity rather than liberated it. And then we had to shed all the creeds and erase the lines that promoted separation or division between one another and between ourselves and the Divine because Jesus promoted a vision of community and unity. We invite you to meet David on Sunday. Following worship we will share a meal together. There are also a few spaces left in his workshop Making Mandalas as Spiritual Practice for Saturday, 1-4. Call Lynne at 613-476-1167 to register. Rev. Lynne Donovan is the minister at

spread around the local racing community. “It was great to feel the support and the love from all the drivers around here,” Kerr said. In years past, Kerr would be unpacking from his final race of the season and wondering how many more races he might have left in far off dirt tracks up and down the eastern sea board. “There's always been that drive to run better and win but we've been coming home, hanging our heads thinking
the car wasn't running right and not sure how many more years we would be doing this,” Kerr said. “To put it all together and win the last race of the season felt really special and we can't wait to strip down the car and start rebuilding for the Winter Nationals this February in Florida.” Kerr added he wished to thank his local sponsorship group for supporting him through the 2015 racing season and being part of a important milestone in his career.

Scoring woes dog Pirates as they lose games to Amherstview, Campbellford a couple in the third and that was the difference,” he said. He said Rebels goaltender Cole Mahoney shined in the contest with a dominant performance despite his team being out-shot 40–22. “In my view, that's three games in a row where we've outplayed our opponents and
Coach says players have to go to dirty areas to score goals CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER
Despite some hefty shot totals and scoring chances in recent games, the Picton Pirates haven't been able to find the back of the net. The club got off to a great start, but ultimately fell 9–3 to the Amherstview Jets last Thursday before falling 4–1 to the Campbellford Rebels on Saturday despite out-shooting them by a wide margin. Coach Chris Masterson said he believes the team needs to get more bodies in front to help some of those pucks find their way behind opposition goaltenders. “There are not enough guys getting into the dirty areas, which is what it takes to score goals and that's key for us,” he said. “We're not an overly big team so we struggle in those dirty areas.” On Thursday the Pirates generated some early momentum. Mitch Burke found the back of the net three minutes into the game when his shot deflected off the hand of an Amherstview defenceman and went high over the blocking arm of goaltender Adam Redgate. Three minutes later, a Liam Hunter shot from the blue line deflected off a stick and past Redgate to make it 2–0. Nolan Van Vlack had the assist. However, almost immediately the Jets came storming back. Brett Yake started the comeback when Cody Jodoin fed him a pass from below the goal line for a net-front tap in at 7:54. Just 14 seconds later Jordan Howe beat Picton goalie Dustin Myskiw to even the score. Wyatt Crampton scored at the 9:52 mark to give the Jets the lead and just 26 seconds later Joey Mayer made it 4–2 for Amherstview. Masterson called a timeout to settle the Pirates down and it immediately seemed to work. The Pirates had a solid push-back shift and were rewarded with Hunter scoring at the 11:05 mark with a quick wrist shot from the slot. Van Vlack and Tristan Nugent had the assists. However, the Pirates were never allowed to gain more ground. At 16:19 Jodoin scored to restore the two-goal lead.The goal would spell the end of Myskiw's night as affiliate goaltender Dryden Bedard took over. Just two minutes later Mayer shovelled a loose puck over the line to make it 6–3 after 20 minutes. “It was certainly difficult when we out-shoot our opponent 15–10 in the first period and come out of that period down 6–3,” said Masterson. “That's tough. We're a team that doesn't score a lot of goals and that puts a lot of pressure on your goaltenders.” Masterson said the team appears to be caught in a vicious cycle where goaltenders are under pressure because the team struggles to score and, when the goaltenders aren't able to make key saves, the skaters struggle to rebound. “We've talked about that a
not been able to come away with even a point out of that,” said Masterson. The Pirates next take on Gananoque tonight before visiting the Raiders in Napanee Tuesday. Puck drop for both contests is 7:30 p.m. Masterson said the Islanders are a team that's able
to transition quickly and the Pirates will have to work hard on the forecheck to be successful. He said Napanee is strong down low, cycle the puck well, and plays physically. “We've got to try to get pucks deep in their end and use some speed to get on their defence,” he said.

lot in the dressing room,” he said. Adam Alcorn and Perry Tristan would add second period goals and Dawson Chard added another in the third to make it a 9–3 final. If Thursday was frustrating for the Pirates, Saturday's contest was no better. The Pirates out-shot Campbellford 14–5 in the opening frame, but went into the intermission scoreless.The Pirates continued to control the play in the second, but 4:30 into the period it was Riley McGuire scoring to give the Rebels the lead. The Pirates held a 16–9 shot
advantage in the middle frame, but went into the third down 1–0. Picton continued to play well early in the third and were finally rewarded. Gavin Ronan notched his first junior hockey goal at 7:05 to even the score. Nate Kellar and Mitchell Merry had assists. Again, the Pirates weren't able to pull away. At 14:41 of the third Jeremiah Doherty made it 2–1 and Doherty would add two more unanswered goals, including one with the net empty, to bring the final score to 4–1. “Their best player, Jeremiah Doherty, managed to snipe
