Young and old gathered in Picton and across the country on Monday to honour the young men and women who have fought and given their lives in service to their country. It was a miserable day — cold and wet — but the severity of the occasion wasn't lost on anyone in attendance. Even the youngest in the crowd looked on in admiration as members of Canada's armed forces marched and laid wreaths at Picton's cenotaph. The ground was soggy— almost hearkening back to the mud and blood of the Battle of Passchendaele during the First World War — almost fitting. Picton Legion Branch 78's Bill Kidnew officiated Monday's service, offering thanks to the associated members both past and present of the Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment in this, their 150th year of existence. “It's so good to see a good contingent of the Hasty P's coming to join us

The whitecaps rolled angrily on Lake Ontario Monday morning, crashing into the shoreline near Wellington. There, hundreds of people gathered to pay tribute to those brave soldiers who set out from the comforts of Canadian shores to fight for freedom and their country’s goals. Amidst the throng of people blocking Main Street to offer their remembrance, umbrellas were outnumbered only by poppies as veterans and their wives huddled together for warmth amid the constant rain and children clung to their parents to brace against the cold winds. Royal Canadian Legion Branch 160 padre Rev. Steve Spicer reminded those gathered that the misery of the weather was a mere symbol of what veterans had endured to allow such gatherings to happen. “These conditions are nothing compared to those in which we remember,” said Spicer. “We gather to hold in our hearts those who may not be with us, those who we long to embrace.” Spicer indicated that through the very act of remembering, nation-building takes place at 11 a.m. across Canada from sea to sea, people would gather to remember the same men and women who served over the years and those who are serving today. “We gather as one community,” he said. “We gather to remember those who cannot be here — those whose names are carved in granite and those whose souls lie in fields far away.” Following a church service that morning, the memorial started with a parade featuring the Legion colour party, troops from 8 Wing Trenton, and long lines of people filing in as the citizen’s brigade, a longstanding tradition for Wellington area residents wanting to be part of the solemn ceremony. The C.M.L. Snider chorus had the task of singing O Canada and they soon had no shortage of help.

Community Foundation moves to alternate management model After building structure, Stevenson will pass her duties on to volunteer group Staff writer

The County Community Foundation (CCF) continues to look for ways to grow and serve, but as of January, it will do so without any paid staff to rely on. On Tuesday, the CCF announced that executive director Bridget Stevenson would give way to a committee of volunteer managers that would staff its office and administer its programs moving forward. CCF board chair Joan Pennefather acknowledged consideration for efficiently managing limited resources played a hand in the decision, though she added the CCF is looking at the model as a way

of expanding its base. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We're set up really well, we have a great web site, we have systems in place, we're going to continue to expand our funds and expand our ability to support the county,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We see this as moving to the next phase and expanding our group of volunteers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; involving more people.â&#x20AC;? Pennefather stressed the board was pleased with the work Stevenson has done in her capacity since June 2011 to build structure for the organization. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bridget has done a great job, we're grateful for all the work she has done,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very confident and she has done great work in managing transition.â&#x20AC;?

During Stevensonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s term, the CCF has grown and established 11 funds within the county and it has secured gifts and legacy funds exceeding $2 million. Also this fall, the CCF introduced its first Vital Signs report, an overview of the community and the challenges it faces. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re one of the youngest community foundations to put out a Vital Signs report. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very proud of thatâ&#x20AC;? said Pennefather. Stevenson backed the move, saying it was the direction the CCF needed to move in. She added she plans to serve as a volunteer in the future. â&#x20AC;&#x153; I'm committed to the community foundation be-

cause I believe in what it does and what it is capable of doing,â&#x20AC;? she said. Stevenson said operating is a challenge for any not-forprofit group and added the change has been in the works for some time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have carefully crafted the road forward so the organization can function efficiently, just in a different way,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a direction we have been considering for a while as you can appreciate, it's not a sudden change.â&#x20AC;? She added any responsible organization has a plan to ensure it continues to operate effectively. Stevenson said there is already a core of willing and capable volunteers ready to work and she expects theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll maintain the service level she provided. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The hours might change, but the contact info is still the same,â&#x20AC;? she said. Over time, Stevenson said the goal is to see a broader group of volunteers, allowing the CCF to be more engaged across the community. That should help building funds

and spreading philanthropy dollars around. Looking back on her time as executive director, Stevenson said she had several highlights that she will fondly remember.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I met so many wonderful people and I was able to work closely with them,â&#x20AC;? Stevenson said of developing the foundation and some of its funds. She added the ongoing Vital Signs process has also been moving. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a fantastic experience,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Working with the board and advisory committee and seeing it evolve into action has been exciting. It shows the scope of work that needs to be done and the potential that is here.â&#x20AC;? Under the new model, she may also contribute to achieving new goals and broader goals for the CCF, built upon the foundation she helped set. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not disappearing,â&#x20AC;? Stevenson said.

Mulridge hangs up helmet after 35 years LOCAL NEWS TIP? THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 2013

Firefighting vet remembered for teaching, team play

Cold front coming in?

Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

Those who worked with him over the years describe retiring firefighter John Mulridge as a team player, a glue guy, and someone who was always there to help. On Friday night at the Picton Elks Club, Prince Edward County's firefighters came together to celebrate Mulridge and his 35-year career in service of the municipality. It was a night of many laughs, a few tears, and more than a few good stories — a fitting sendoff with close to 100 friends and family. Mulridge began his career in 1978 after a stint working in a municipal water department. He fast became known as a knowledgeable man who brought intangibles to a group that firefighters regard as family. Division commander Rob Manlow worked with Mulridge for over 30 years. He said Mulridge is a good teacher who is always enthusiastic. “He was a good team player. He's easy going, real down to earth — a good family man,” said Manlow. “Whether you're at a function like this or you're at a fire, family's first and all the firefighters are like family. Even on days off they're helping firefighters do something whether it's shingling a roof or moving into a new home.” Manlow said Mulridge was a big part of that family atmosphere. He said while the firefighters often consider one another family, it's often the family at home who deserves the most credit. “It's those family functions when he's off fighting

a fire, that dad's not home and those things kind of get missed, but it's all part of the job,” said Manlow. “(Mulridge) accepted that and his family has accepted it for 35 years.” Manlow said Friday's gathering was all about bringing back those memories and thanking Mulridge for all he's done. “He's been involved in a lot of tragic situations in Prince Edward County over the years for sure,” he said. As a member of the fire department, Mulridge was active in fundraising initiatives including concerts, Christmas tree sales, yard sales, and car washes. “He's always been there. You'll see a lot of emotion tonight because he was one of those key players,” said Manlow. As is tradition Mulridge rode home in a fire truck to close out his final shift with the department. He was

then presented with plaque from mayor Peter Mertens for his service. Fire chief Scott Manlow used words like passionate, dedicated, and fun to describe Mulridge. “He was always chipper and he lived and breathed the fire service, there's no doubt about it,” he said. “It's been in his blood for 35 years and he's served the community not only in emergency situations, but also through fundraising events.” He said Mulridge could always be counted on and was always there to help out his fellow firefighters. “He's just a whole team player. He was always the first one there if you needed anything, last one to leave,” he said. “It's truly a big family, that's what we are.” He said it was easy to tell Mulridge was a likeable guy. “You can see by the

number of people that are here to wish him the best in his retirement,” he said. Mulridge was presented with a gold watch from the County commemorating his service. The Picton Firefighters Association also chipped in to purchase Mulridge a tonneau cover for his new Ford truck as a retirement gift. For his part, Mulridge said he was shocked by the gathering. “I'm in awe with the amount of people who are here tonight. I just think it's great,” he said. “I'm really appreciative for all the family, friends and fellow firefighters.” He said there were good times and bad during his time as a firefighter, but that camaraderie was always there. “When you're in this business, teamwork is what it's all about. There are no individuals here, it's all teamwork,” he said.

Craft sales, bazaars staged across county as Christmas season draws near McFarland Home among several venues shoppers visit to find unique gift ideas Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

It was a weekend ripe for holiday shopping as several locations throughout Prince Edward County held craft sales. Among them was H.J. McFarland Memorial Home whose annual bake sale and

bazaar on Saturday morning offered some sweet treats and a chance to support residents of the home. Resident services manager at McFarland Tammy Doxtator-Jones said the proceeds from the resident-made baked goods and crafts go right back into improving life at the home.

“Our tables, the bake sale table and the craft sale table, all the residents make the stuff and all the money that we make from it goes toward quality of life improvement programs,” she said. “We're trying to raise money for walking paths, for Christmas stockings, and various other programming that we don't

The bazaar featured four vendors from the community and an assortment of knitted garments, scented items, and Christmas gift baskets. Aside from providing them with enhanced quality of life, Doxtator-Jones said the residents also get a kick out of showing off their baking skills and reminiscing with new faces. “They get to see people from the community, they get to see some of their old friends and family and they get to be part of the community again,” she said. “It gives them the opportunity to be part of the community and give back to the community like they used to. “Yesterday we had the big baking day so they reminisced about their Christmases and what they used to make and they were able to give us ideas about things they could make in the future. It's a sense of pride for them to be able to bake and reminisce about the past.” Doxtator-Jones said walking paths are one of the biggest things the home is hoping to provide residents through fundraising efforts like the bazaar and bake sale. Vendor Donna Gyde said it was her first time participating in the McFarland Bazaar. She said it felt nice to know the show was supporting the residents. Also on Saturday was the

The adjudicator indicated she was impressed by that spirit as that was the reason the Eastern Ontario Drama League holds festivals, including the one-act event each year. In only its sixth season, PECT is the youngest of the companies that participated in the festival and it represents one of the smallest

communities as other entries came from Trenton, Lindsay, Perth, Peterborough, and Ottawa. The recognition comes on the heels of awards the company won in the past two Eastern Ontario Drama League full-length festivals as two years ago, Larkin won an award for his lighting design for Educating Rita and last year, Mark Daniher and Crystal Whalen earned awards for best actor and best cameo respectively for Moon Over Buffalo.

Prince Edward Community Theatre players have managed to capture the attention of yet another festival adjudicator. Appearing for its first time at the Eastern Ontario Drama League one-act play festival in Merrickville last Saturday, the company took home an adjudicatorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s award following its presentation of Jean Lenox Toddieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s A Scent of Honeysuckle. Director Georgia Papanicolaou explains that each year the festival gives out 14 awards â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 10 constant awards for acting and technical efforts and four adjudicatorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awards which change each year depending on the adjudicator of the festival. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That makes these particular awards unique and more special for the groups that are awarded them,â&#x20AC;? Papanicolaou said. This year, the six-person cast and crew was awarded the Penny Arril Adjudicator's Award for its dedication to community theatre and commitment to continued learning. That group consisted of on-stage talent Wilma McCagg, Paulina McMahon, and Suzie Mitchell and crew Papanicolaou, Jennifer Goodman, and Patrick Larkin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our ensemble showcased a lot of passion and enthusiasm about our show and the experience of the festival as a whole,â&#x20AC;?

In Merrickville, the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trio of actresses was also among two groups nominated for the best ensemble cast and it also received a nomination for best costumes. This year, the company will be entering the Yasmina Reza comedy God of Carnage in the main festival. The 2009 Tony Award winner for best play will be staged at Huff Estates in March. Bill McMahon will handle the directing duties with Daniher, Larkin, Papanicolaou, and Cheryl Singer confirmed as cast members. Adjudicators will visit the play one evening during that run. Off-stage, the company also received word it would host the full-length festival awards brunch in April at the Wellington and District Community Centre. Meanwhile, the company is preparing to continue its sixth subscription series with a production of Neil Simonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Odd Couple (female version) in February. Founder Lynn Fennell will handle the directing duties and he has recently held auditions to fill out the cast. In May, the subscription series finishes with Ira Levinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thriller Deathtrap. The company is also considering staging more oneact plays this season.

PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY

Looking back in the

Picton Gazette 80 years ago — 1933

■ Severe weather and extreme frost wrought heavy damage to the county’s apple crop, however apples that were in the cold storage plant did not suffer any damages. It was estimated the new cold storage saved $10,000 for the apple growers. Those who had the luxury of heated storage sheds were also protected from loss due to the weather. ■ The Picton Retail Merchants Assoication started a “Santa Claus Fund” to help provide for children in homes that Santa Claus might not otherwise visit. The club planned to prepare a list to ensure the new fund was not duplicating the efforts of other agencies. The Picton Kiwanis Club was also expected to contribute. ■ The last freighter of the season was expected to leave from the Picton port that week. It was expected to carry 300 tons of apples and canned goods. The items were expected to go through Kingston and head both east and west.

■ Through the first two weeks of deer hunting season, some 1,245 hunters interviewed at Department of Fish and Wildlife check-in stations reported 26 per cent success, down six per cent from the previous year. It was stated that nice weather conditions did not help with deer concentrations, making it more difficult for hunters to have success. ■ Following Picton’s Remembrance Day parade, members of the Royal Canadian School of Artillery, 127 and 128 AA Batteries were presented Coronation Medals by Lt.-Col. Hood. Hood felt the honour was a commemoration of Queen Elizabeth II’s ascension to the throne and a tribute to the unit as a whole, more than an award gained by individual merits. ■ Cheddar cheese production in the county decreased 201,456 pounds in the first nine months of the year, compared to the same period in 1952. The trend mirrored that seen across the province. ■ Nine county soldiers were among a group from the 27th Canadian Infantry that returned home from Germany.

■ Provincial NDP leader Stephen Lewis stopped in Picton to talk policy. During two public meetings, Lewis touched on minimum wage, party organization, the province’s treatment of small business, and education. Lewis also called for better loan and interest programs for farmers, particularly in the dairy sector. ■ The province approved a $4,000 grant for the Prince Edward Region Conservation Authority to acquire lands for the Demorestville dam reservoir. The dam was intended to alleviate water shortages and provide water for fire protection.

20 years ago — 1993

■ Staff at CFB Trenton engaged in a study to determine what should be done with the Mountain View airfield. Ultimately, sources said, the study would review whether the facility should continue to operate or be shut down. At the time, the Second World War-era facility was used primarily for storage, though it did host an Air Cadet gliding school. ■ The Prince Edward-Hastings Reform Party held a post-election meeting, where party officials were celebrating their second-place finish ahead of the usually strong Conservative candidate.

There’s a new species on Main Duck and I’m lichen it

In the pursuit of nature, there are always specialists. Most obvious are the birders. Even among them, there are those who may specialize in certain families, even a single species. Biologists who specialize in black bears, arborists who focus on conifers and botanists who concentrate on grasses. As a field trip leader, I try to have a basic knowledge of everything in the natural world so I can at least carry on a conversation. However, my strength is in birds, warblers in particular. I tend to do poorly with hawks in flight, and have an annoying habit of ignoring gulls, while a birder friend of mine from Brighton knows gulls inside out, backwards and forwards, and can rattle off the names of six species of gulls present in a given body of water, while all I can see are ringbills and greater black-backs. So, among the specialized birders, watchers of plants, tree counters and countless other nature enthusiasts who observe, study, count, photograph and survey, are those who concentrate on the very little things, that even the keeners among us might overlook. That`s why it was somewhat refreshing to learn that on a 900-acre island in eastern Lake Ontario, friend and ecosystem scientist, Josh Van Wieran, overlooked nothing on his exploration one day recently. We talked a few months back about the northern

The Prince Edward OPP detachment ended the search for 54-year old Gordon Alexander “Sandy” Rutherford, of Wellington late last Tuesday afternoon. His body has not been recovered. The OPP began the search for Rutherford the night of Oct. 19th, 2013 after he had not returned home from an afternoon of fishing on West Lake, Wellington.

water snake population on Main Duck Island and the possibility through isolation, that a separate population had evolved – a sub-species, so to speak. We also talked about a smooth green snake and a Dekay`s snake each of us had found and pondered how a disjunct population could become established some 20 kilometres from the closest mainland. The little things, that most of us would overlook. What Van Wieran and his cohorts found earlier this year, however, underscores the importance of paying attention to everything. How many of us bother to identify lichens on a walk (there are thousands of species), other than a casual observance of them on rocks and trees? Well, this party did and found something special. In his own words, Van

Wieran reported, “I thought you might find it interesting that we recently found an endangered lichen species; the ‘Pale-bellied frost lichen’ on Main Duck. It is only the seventh population found in the country. It’s additionally endemic to only eastern North American and is quite rare in the United States as well. So quite a find!” So, like the smooth green snake and DeKay’s snake, how did such a rare lichen species arrive to remote Main Duck Island? If this lichen could speak, what stories would it tell about its arrival? Pale-bellied frost lichen only occurs in eastern North America. Until this year’s find on Main Duck, this rare lichen was limited, in Canada, to southern Ontario where it was only known from three locations in Frontenac, Lanark and Renfrew counties. Historical specimens were collected from four additional sites in southern Ontario, although palebellied frost lichen has not been observed at these historical sites for over 100 years. Pale-bellied frost lichen gets its name from its pale, sometimes bright white crustlike growth that resembles a dusting of frost on a tree trunk. The rare lichen seems to prefer hardwood trees like white ash, black walnut and American elm. I am not aware of any black walnut on Main Duck Island, but there are certainly good numbers of elm and ash and also hop

hornbeam (ironwood) which it apparently prefers in Ontario. So, how did this lichen, or any for that matter, survive the drought over there two summers ago when everything was burnt to a crisp from lack of rain? Lichens have an incredible resistance to drought. We have walked over patches of lichens in the Canadian Shield which crunched beneath our feet, appearing quite dead. However, with the first rainfall, lichens can absorb up to 35 times their weight in water, and carry on. Lichens are amazing examples of symbiosis between different organisms a fungus and an alga. The alga produces carbohydrates through photosynthesis which then serve as food for the fungus. The fungus, in its turn, provides a steady supply of moisture to its partner, providing a substrate helpful in providing the right amount of light and protecting the alga. Bottom line, as the great lichenologist Trevor Goward once said: Lichens are a case of fungi that have discovered agriculture.

Resources involved in the search included members of the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre from CFB Trenton, the Wellington Coast Guard Auxiliary, OPP Marine officers, OPP Under Water Search and Recovery Unit (USRU), OPP Emergency Response Team (ERT) members, OPP K-9 and members of the OPP-Prince Edward County detachment. Search efforts were assisted by numerous volunteers,

many being friends and family members. The OPP stated their appreciation to everyone who assisted in the search. If anyone has information that may assist in locating Rutherford, they are asked to contact Prince Edward County OPP at 1-888-310-1122. A celebration of Rutherford's life will be held at 2 p.mwith a gathering to follow until 5 p.m. in the Highline

Hall at the Wellington and District Community Centre. Memorial Donations to the Wellington United Church to help establish a memorial garden would be appreciated by the family. Arrangements have been entrusted to Ainsworth Funeral Home.

Philanthropy offers much to community and to Canada

COMMUNITY SNAPSHOT

Satiating StudentS The Rotary Club of Picton recently gave $500 to the Hastings and Prince Edward Learning Foundation’s Feed The Meter campaign for Food For Learning programs in area schools. Pictured, from left are the club’s president Matt Stiff, Learning Foundation chair Maribeth deSnoo, Rotary community projects co-ordinator Marion Hughes, and president-elect Rick Jones at a recent Rotary meeting. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

TOMORROW may not be an official holiday on the calendar and many people will still toil at work, but that doesn’t mean that it isn’t a day worthy of a celebration. It’s National Philanthropy Day, an event that Canadians have celebrated since 1986 and one that Canada was the first country to officially recognize in 2009. Tomorrow, just take a look around to see all the things that have happened in this community because of people who decided that they’d give their hard-earned time and money back to help others in some fashion. The results are likely staggering as it can be argued that not one person in this community has avoided the reach of volunteers and many of the facilities that we rely on for learning, for healing, for worship, and for entertainment were built with fundraised dollars. Each person one might see driving to and from work has likely had someone help them out, be it as a coach, a mentor, or a caregiver at one time or another and that has in some way influenced the lives they are leading today, possibly right down to the careers they have chosen and the people they spent their waking hours with. In 2010 data provided by Statistics Canada, it was noted that 47 per cent of Canadians volunteered and their efforts meant that people across this country received 2.1 billion hours of work without having to pay for it. Couple that with the many people who may not have time to give, but offer what money they can to make their own communities and those around the world a better place. For those who haven’t found a way to contribute in some way, perhaps tomorrow can be a day of reflection about what they have to offer and how it can be given. There are plenty of good causes out there waiting for people to step forward. Maybe it is relief efforts for the major storm that swamped the Philippines and left thousands dead. Maybe it is playing in a band in a local nursing home, calling up a school to offer help with a sport, or joining one of the county’s vibrant service clubs that do the jobs few want to do in order to make money just to give it back to others. The memories and the lasting friendships will be just a couple of tangible benefits that can be earned by giving of one’s self. People often say that Prince Edward County has been able to complete projects that communities several times its size have not been able to muster up the community spirit to try. The residential hospice project, many of the hospital drives, and the successful fundraising efforts for the Wellington and District Community Centre are just some of the many recent examples that come to mind. For those who can honestly say they’ve given of their own resources to help in this community, we salute you wholeheartedly. Please join us tomorrow in celebrating what you have done and what you continue to do to make this county a greater place for all its residents to live in.

Free books for children and craft show part of Consecon celebrations

In partnership with Books for County Babies and County Kids Read, the County of Prince Edward Public Library & Archives will be helping distribute hundreds of new children’s books this Christmas season. The first occasion for children to get their invitation to pick up a free book will be at the library on the day at the Consecon Santa Parade on Sunday, Nov. 17. Watch for invitations being handed out during the parade to redeem and receive a new book, or drop in to the library after the parade. If you don’t already have a library card, pick one up at the same time as you get your free book. Your library card allows you to enjoy free access to books, magazines and movies year round. Featured bands in this year’s Consecon Christmas parade are the Picton Legion Pipes & Drums, the Brighton Legion Highland Band and the 413 Air Force Pipes & Drums. Also participating is the crowd favourite Rameses Shriners of Belleville. Throughout the day, the Consecon branch of the library will be holding its second annual Christmas sale with nine vendors selling framed photos, specialty food, lavender products, children’s and household crochet items, jewelry, candles, baked goodies and more. Event organizer, Ena Walton, stresses “all the items we’ll have for sale are handcrafted.” Everyone is invited to come browse, enjoy hot coffee, tea and cider, and consider entering the many raffles. Walton has managed to amass an impressive number of raffle items. The draw for these will take place at 3p.m. on the day of the craft show. “We have a great collection of raffle prizes from all the vendors in the craft show, as well as gift certificates and products from local businesses who have generously donated to the cause,” says Walton. Raffle tickets are two for a dollar or five for two dollars. All proceeds from the craft show will go towards the Consecon Library Restoration and Renovation Project fund. “We are fortunate and thankful to have Ena heading up and organizing this craft sale once again,” says Library chief

inside The library

CHRISTINE RENAUD executive officer Barbara Sweet. “It not only helps to raise funds for the necessary improvements at the library, but also adds to the Christmas celebrations in the Consecon community.” The Library’s arts and craft show runs from 10 a.m. to 4p.m. Shoppers are encouraged to drop by the bake and craft show being held at the Consecon United Church on the same day as well. Additional activities on the Sunday include refreshments in Santa’s workshop at the Masonic Lodge from noon on and after the Parade. Santa will be handing out chocolate Advent calendars and assisting children with writing wish letters and making decorations. “RJ the Balloon Dude” will be on hand, too. From 2p.m. until 5p.m., the Cascades Pub & Grill will hold a fundraiser with all proceeds going to Wellington’s Storehouse Food bank featuring a bowl of chili and a bun (suggested donation $5) and hot dogs (suggested donation $1.00), plus free hot chocolate. Peter Rea of The Reasons will entertain in support of this worthy cause. The Consecon Christmas event is one of a number of seasonal celebrations that the public library is pleased to be a part of this year. Watch for our involvement, and an opportunity for obtaining a free, new children’s book, at events in Bloomfield, Picton, Ameliasburgh and Wellington as the holiday season unfolds. For more information on these and other library events, visit the website calendar at www.peclibrary.org or call us at 613476-5962.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Group sought to complete environmental study

I, along with Robert Minnie, are in the process of creating a group of committed people, with like interests, in Prince Edward County who are interested in having a healthy, safe environment in which to live. The goal of this group is to have an environmental study done for the area. I have been very concerned, for years, about

health problems in Prince Edward County, particularly cancer related problems and deaths. Also, breathing problems, diabetes, COPD, et cetera seem to be unusually high. This is affecting, not only adults, but young children and youth as well. Having approached several govt. officials (at different levels) previously, to no avail, we feel it is time to

get public involvement in this venture. The results of the study, upon completion, will be presented to appropriate agencies and governmental depts. for action on behalf of the citizens of Prince Edward County. Anyone interested in working with us on this are asked to call 613-920-7050 or to e-mail iolalouise.don-

ahue@gmail.com or call 613-970-2594 (evenings) for Robert. As the environmental state of Prince Edward County also affects outlying areas, as well, we welcome participation from others in these locations also. Louise Donahue Picton

Thanks to investors putting time and money into county

Thank you! Thank you Greg Sorbara for investing in downtown Picton, our heritage and the Royal. Hotel. We look forward to your stewardship and infusion of much-needed capi-

tal and energy into downtown Picton at this time. Thank you to Jeff Stober of The Drake Devonshire Inn for playing a similar role in Wellington. Thank you to all the many

investors large and small, old and new who have been investing energy and capital into this community. I’m not sure as citizens and community we show our appreciation as much as we can. The

investment in the Royal seemed like an exclamation point worthy of notice and celebration. Dan Taylor Picton

Village honours veterans with many wreaths CEREMONY, from page 1

Several voices joined in, some singing at their own pace until eventually the words came out in unison in a patriotic display. Later, all those voices would fall silent for a few short minutes to remember all those who sacrificed in between periods where Robin Everhardus managed to play the bugle refrains on her trumpet amid the frigid weather. As is customary, after the moments of silence, the community laid wreaths at the cenotaph to remember those who have fallen. This year, Branch 160 poppy chair George Sainsbury said that some businesses — nearly two dozen — elected to have the Legion place their memorials at the cenotaph in advance, yet the cadets from 851 Squadron were busily grabbing wreaths and helping dignitaries including the likes of

Mayor Peter Mertens, counsellor Jim Dunlop, and Wellington Dukes forward Spencer Turcotte to place theirs fittingly. After Sainsbury concluded the activity and Spencer gave a final prayer, the contingent from 8 Wing gave just a little glimpse of

the dedication Canadian military personnel are accustomed to giving. While others ran for their cars and for heat, oneby-one the military personnel placed their own poppies on wreaths and offered a salute to their predecessors and colleagues.

Rotarians aid Atorkor project

As Peta Hall returns once more from Prince Edward County to Atorkor, Ghana to check on her vocational school project, she won’t be leaving empty handed. Picton Rotarians Bob Bird and Rob Leek donated money for three-high bunk beds to help students with lodging at the school. Hall explained the students often have money for food or transportation, not both and not for lodging. “Students are literally sleeping on the concrete floor,” she said, adding that government pays for the building but not the equipment in it. The donation will provide accommodation for 150 students to learn vocational skills in the vocational school the U.S. Embassy has called the best in the country. Most of the equipment in use at the school has come courtesy of county donors. -Staff

The province may have decided it won’t separate Prince Edward County from the Quinte Healthcare Corporation, but it hasn’t silenced the POOCH’s bark. The Patrons of Our County Hospital (POOCH) is not going to fade into the oblivion, but rather it is planning to become a fixture in supporting local health care. The group announced this week that Ontario’s Ministry of Government Services approved its application for incorporation as a non-profit lobbying group with founder Dave Gray, Al Reimers, and Betsy Sinclair serving as its first directors. The trio says they stand by POOCH’s founding principles that in the long run the community will have a strong influence in how the local hospital fits into the healthcare model. In a press release, Reimer said the committee believes that the Prince Edward Family Health Team’s efforts to increase medical services in the county are more important than working on a fixed number of hospital beds and it vowed to support the Prince Edward Health Alliance, an organization that includes the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation and Auxiliary, Hospice Prince Edward, the Family Health Team and other local service providers. After Gray led the charge to organize POOCH, the organization collected donations to take buses to Queen’s Park to protest planned cuts and to ask Minister of Health Deb Matthews to allow the hospital to stand alone.

WHATTAM'S is proud to present....'Free Family Movie Day' at the Regent Theatre the last Sunday of each month 2pm.

Those fundraising efforts included the sale of POOCH pins as well as freewill gifts around town. It was announced in April that extra donations would go back into the community and this week, the POOCH committee delivered. Tuesday, it donated $1,000 each to the Hospital Foundatiion and to Hospice Prince Edward. Foundation vice-president Fran Donaldson welcomed

news of the gifts. “It’s nice to see groups coming together and working together like this,” she said. Hospice Prince Edward executive director Nancy Parks said she was thankful both for the effort POOCH has put into health advocacy in the community and for its generosity and vision, including hospice care in the overall model for better health care in the county.

Tips to help caregivers avoid burnout and focus on helping their loved ones

Last week I shared “tips” that caregivers would find helpful, from several of our staff members. It’s important to note that Community Care offers several supports to those who care for seniors. You can turn to Community Care to learn how to cope and the best way to start is to have a conversation with one of our professional staff. Call today and make an appointment – 613-476-7493. Below is a compilation of

our Community Care staff member responses to the question “what’s important for caregivers to know”. When talking to caregivers, one thing that always stands for me is the well analogy—how you have to keep your own well filled with water before you can give any of it away (or your well runs dry). The other thing I think is important is to take the long view—project into the future. It helps to keep the

overall decisions in perspective. Three important tips from this staff member: 1. Utilize supports that are within your community: 2. ask for assistance when it is needed; taking care of yourself is just as important as taking care of your loved one; and 3. family dynamics are sometimes the most difficult component of caregiving; listen to one another, try to understand where people are coming from,

know that you all have the same goal, and support one another. This is easier said than done. . . but being a team is what’s best for all involved. Another staff person offered the following for you to consider. Burnout creeps up on caregivers; it happens ever-so-gradually and then suddenly. And when it hits it can really knock you for a loop and wreak havoc on the system that you’ve used to cope.

…because life is short.

THE GREAT ROMAN CATHOLIC PARISH

One of the warning signs for burnout is feelings of resentment—regardless of how much you love the person or believe that you have your priorities in caregiving straight. A few key strategies for protecting yourself against burnout: 1. Work towards balancing your needs and those of the person you’re caring for. 2. Use ‘negotiation’ as an approach to determining what you do and how you help. It can help also to identify if there are key things for either party that are so important that they’re “not negotiable”. Negotiation as a means to planning is an excellent way to ensure that you and your loved ones are collaborating and that both of you maintain some, but not all control, and that both of you have your preferences honoured some of the time. 3. If communicating is difficult, get help. A third party may be able to provide just the right amount of support and safety to enable a constructive negotiation and a tremendous feeling of success and sanity. 4. Build into the plan some ‘time together’ that isn’t about caregiving but rather about enjoying each other; perhaps on a day when a sibling or paid caregiver provides some relief, you could have a ‘date’ with your loved one to do something together, whether that’s an outing or reading or playing cards, or watching a t.v. program, or reminiscing about fun times or holding hands. The perfect time for this might be a couple of hours at the end of the day, when you’ve had some time away from caregiving. 5. If you can experience the caregiving as an exchange where you get as well as give, that is optimal. You are encouraged to call Community Care to

Kiwanis supports development of Key student leaders for PECI Camp helps promising youth across region foster their skills

CHAD IBBOTSON

Staff writer

In supporting PECI students' attendance at a recent skills camp, the Kiwanis Club of Picton aims to foster leadership qualities among the county's youth. If the latest three beneficiaries are an indication, the club has a lot to work with. “The three kids I interviewed this year were really eager to participate,” said Kiwanis youth committee chairperson Rod Holloway. From Nov. 1 to Nov. 3 the club sponsored the attendance of PECI students Lucas Clarke, Codie Goodman, and Audrey Roloson. “They're kids that want to do well both in school and in the community and their parents were very supportive as well,” he said. Kiwanis, whose motto is “serving the children of the world,” regularly sponsors youth activities. It's with that motto in mind that Kiwanis sponsors the yearly Key Leader Camp in Arden, Ont., said Holloway. “The whole idea of our organization is to help kids,” he said. The camp is for high school age youth who have shown leadership qualities

and wish to expand and improve those qualities. Holloway said the club covers all expenses with the exception of transportation to and from the camp. Specially trained adults conduct the weekend camp, which seeks to give the participants an enjoyable weekend while teaching them leadership skills. The camp brings together teens from across eastern Ontario. “We try to give the students a fun weekend, but at the same time they learn leadership skills and they make new friends,” said Holloway. The camp looks to generate a sense of co-operation and friendship in each of the participants, he said. “They learn how to con-

duct themselves in a way that inspires confidence in other people and be able to take responsibility for things. They also learn how to work co-operatively,” said Holloway. “There's a number of activities where they have to help each other, so they get some pretty good skills.” Holloway said the students were chosen for their budding leadership qualities, participation in extracurricular activities, and their overall desire to work with others and learn new skills. He said their willingness to accept responsibility was also considered. “When people apply, we try to pick kids that we think will benefit from the camp,” said Holloway. “It's not so much academics as

somebody that's enthusiastic that really wants to go and somebody that wants to participate with a group of other teens and is interested in being a leader.” The three took part in a several challenging and fun games, workshops, and conversation — the goal being to have each of the students walk away with new skills that will be an asset to them throughout their lives. Clarke, Roloson, and Goodman each said the club did just that. Clarke, 15, said he wanted to attend the club to improve his leadership skills as he aspires to become a counsellor at Camp Quin-Mo-Lac in Tweed. Clarke plays hockey, soccer, and track and field and says he enjoys camp because it allows him to meet new people. “You make a lot of new friends and you can have a lot of fun for a whole week,” he said. Clarke said he'll be able to build on what he learned at the Key Leader Camp and wishes to return next year. “We learned a lot about respect and how to become a good leader with helping other people and it's going to really improve if I become a counsellor for my other camp,” he said. Roloson, 15, said she wanted to learn more about being a leader. She plays soccer and attends camps in the summer. She too said the camp taught her some intangible skills. “We learned how to be servant leader. You put oth-

school also helped build a foundation for her leadership skills. “It makes you able to think on the spot, make up resolutions, and helps you develop and talk in front of people,” she said. Holloway said the club is so pleased with the three latest leaders that Kiwanis has invited them to share their experiences during the weekend camp at a meeting in January. Holloway said the club wants to make sure youth know that the opportunity is available to them as well.

ers in front of you, you're not just telling them, you're saying 'how can I improve them,'” she said. Goodman, 14, said the club seemed to be a good fit for her. “I do a lot of leadership things. I'm in the 4-H program heavily — I do a lot of it. It was another opportunity to expand my skills,” she said. Goodman said she plays rugby, is a member of PECI's improv team, and participates in a lot of drama and arts programs. She said the improvisation techniques learned at

We had a nice crowd today and we did appreciate — for the ones who served especially — the schools and the kids coming to see us and participate in the ceremony,” he said. He said he has no regrets from his time in the forces. “We travelled a lot — we had good times and bad times mind you — but I

have no regrets whatsoever,” he said. He said it's nice to see so many young people still volunteering to serve and protect the country. He said Remembrance Day ceremonies always offer mixed emotions for those who serve or have served. On one hand it's nice to see people appreciate their efforts, Dionne said. On the other, it's tough remembering those who were lost. “It's very nice to see (people paying respect to veterans). Obviously some of us lost our lives and it's not in vain,” he said. “We're happy that no one forgets and that's a good thing for the future.” Dionne visited Flanders Field in 1999 for a remembrance ceremony. The king and queen of Belgium attended. He said when he served with NATO he also visited Vimy Ridge and Passchendaele. “It was very interesting to see and also very sad to see. It's full of crosses of those who gave their lives for their country,” he said. “We're very proud of them and we honour them today.”

PECI students learn about real people’s stories of wartime sacrifice Drama, guest speaker offer context for Remembrance Day

On Remembrance Day at PECI, staff aren’t just going through the motions to honour veterans. Instead, they work to give students more context about sacrifices made in times of war. During first period Monday — a time chosen to avoid conflicts with activities at the cenotaph — all of the staff and students attended a special assembly. For the fourth year in a row, Matt Sheahan’s Grade 12 drama class presented a dramatic presentation about an aspect of war as it impacted a Prince Edward County resident. This year, the story followed the life of Lilian Denard, who moved to Wellington in 1946. Sheahan explains that Denard met her husband Norman during the Second World War in England and she followed him back to Canada after the war. “The story told of her sacrifice and journey to escape a war-torn Europe and start anew with the man who she had loved instantly,” Sheahan said. “Some 67 years later, Lilian is still in Wellington and is a proud resident of Prince Edward County.” Sheahan said the broader theme of the presentation

was about war brides and the particular sacrifices they made in their lives. The teacher said his students are always a bit nervous to portray such important real-life stories, but they feel it offers value. A year ago, he said, the students based their performance on Major Ron Stakes who had recently served in Afghanistan. Stakes lives and raises his family in the county. Sheahan said all of the stories the group has told have been interesting in their own way and Denard’s is certainly no exception. “This year, we were reaching back to World War II, which is a palce we’ve gone to several times before, in order to tell a much different story,” he said. “Our history is so rich. We like to scratch further beyond the surface to see what we can find.” The assembly also had a bit of a first-person flavour to it as guest speaker Heather Menzies-Urich spoke about her father George Menzies, his contributions during the war, and his time as a prisoner of war. Following the assembly, Menzies-Urich spent an hour talking in more detail to a small group

My grandfather serves as example to remember in our own way, on our own time

For the past eight years, I've had the privilege of chronicling the town's Remembrance Day ceremonies. And for the first seven of those years, if I paused from my duties, looked beyond the columns of current and retired service men and women and onlookers and fixed my gaze into the Tim Hortons parking lot, I would see a little old man, wearing a Royal Canadian Legion Vimy hat sitting in the passenger seat of a car, carefully and quietly observing the goings ons while trying not to be noticed or recognized. My grandfather, Second World War veteran Donald W. Ostrander, was never much for crowds later in his

RemembRance commentaRy JASON PARKS

life and that's part of his reason for staying well back from the activity at the corner of Main, Chapel, and Ferguson each Nov. 11. But he had as much right as anyone to take part in any march from the steps of Picton United Church to the cenotaph. As a Leading Aircraftman serving in the RCAF No. 127 wing that serviced and maintained Supermarine Spitfires and the various aerodromes they flew out of as the Allied line moved east through

France, Belguim and Holland post D-Day, his blood, sweat and toil helped oil the machinery of war. But he didn't feel the need to actively partake in ceremonies of remembrance like some do. It was more profound for him to observe the ceremony from a distance, take in the service and then quietly shuffle off for time with his family. He lived through the horror of war and those profound experiences stayed with him through the days of his life. I know this because until his last decade or so, his family really didn't know much about his activities in the European theatre. If there was a war story to be shared, it might a funny

tale of the time his unit was moving to a new air field, somehow crossed the front line and wandered almost five miles into German territory, only to venture back and come across a bewildered Allied infantry group that were amazed members of the 127 didn't quickly become Prisoners of War or worse. Or the time he was stationed in Lachine, Que. prior to embarking for England and a flying member of his wing spotted a Uboat in the St. Lawrence, setting off a real commotion at the training post before the higher ups ordered everyone to pipe down. Or the proudest day of his life to that point (July 23,1944) when Sir Winston Churchill inspected 'his' aerodrome during a brief visit to northwest France. But these tales seemed few and far between. As a youngster, I would plead to be shown the mementos of war and, occasionally, a Nazi infantry helmet, an S.S. cap and an Iron Cross medal would quickly be produced, examined and then shuttled back to its hiding place. It was only much, much later that my family began to grasp the full scope of his time at war when my grandfather produced diaries and photo albums with descriptions of each days events. Entries from the summer of 1944 when “Jerry would come over” and drop antipersonnel bombs and mines that maimed and kill members of his wing. Terrible accidents involving aircraft and high octane fuel including one where

RemembeR always (Centre, seated) LAC Donald Ostrander joins fellow 127 Wing members around an Ack Ack gun at an aerodrome in Northwestern Europe in the summer of 1944. (Submitted photo)

members of an United States Air Force Liberator flight crew crashed into a fuel dump and were burned alive in front of his eyes. More than once my grandfather would hear an air raid alarm, seek shelter under the wing of stationary Spitfire and hoping the enemy dropped their hellacious load somewhere else. Finally, our family got to know the most horrifying of truths my grandfather was holding most recently when recounting the clearing of a concentration camp in central Germany was offered. Monday's soaking ceremony at Picton's cenotaph was the first I've attended without knowing my grandfather was looking on from the parking lot of the coffee shop. He passed away just prior

to Christmas last year, taking with him the deepest horrors of his experiences in the Second World War. In this current climate where how you remember seems to be more important than the actual act of remembrance itself, please take into account those that sacrificed their youth and, in some cases, their lives so we could hold the freedom to remember and commemorate as we so choose. Remembrance doesn't have to be contained in one sliver of the calender and it doesn't need to be done en masse, among throngs of people.Remembrance should be a personal choice. We will remember them. And we should do it in our own way and on our own time.

Council looks to staff for report on density of solar projects across county Councillors express concern over concentration Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

Solar projects, and the density of such projects in areas of the county, will be the focus of an upcoming report from municipal staff. Priority points for 12 500-kilowatt ground mount arrays and one 66-kilowatt rooftop array were awarded on Tuesday. The projects had already been awarded the two points under the former FIT 2.1 guidelines. The installations involve lands in Demorestville, East Lake, and Hallowell. The projects are expected to generate an annual dividend to the municipality of $7 per kilowatt based on the nameplate capacity. While council awarded the 13 solar projects with two priority points under the Feed-in-Tariff (FIT) 3 guidelines, the discussion sparked a larger debate about the density of solar

projects in areas across Prince Edward County. Council voted to have staff come back to a future meeting with a report on the issue of density of solar projects as it relates to council's criteria for awarding its two priority points. Councillor Kevin Gale said it's clear density is becoming an issue in the north end of Prince Edward County. “I don't know what the criteria is or what it should be, but I know if you went up in a hot air balloon or an airplane right now and flew over Prince Edward County, you'd find that the majority of the solar projects are in one targeted area in Sophiasburgh and Ameliasburgh,” he said. Gale said when council was awarding points in the past, nobody was certain what problems might crop up with solar. “Now we have some farms, and we see what the visibility is from the road, that we didn't have before,” he said. Gale said there are three

Driver flees from accident scene

The Prince Edward OPP detachment is seeking the driver of a blue Pontiac car that is missing a bumper following a collision last Thursday afternoon. Police responded to a call about a motor vehicle collision at the corner of Church and York streets that sent the driver of the other vehicle to hospital with minor injuries. The suspect’s vehicle was

seen travelling in the direction of York Street. Anyone with information is asked to call the detachment at 613-476-2151 or those wishing to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at 1-88-222-8477. Police say their investigation into the accident is still ongoing. -Staff

items that must be addressed in the report. He said while density is first on that list, he'd also like the report to deal with berms and screening of the projects, and setbacks. “I'm starting to think the (solar project) on Black Road is maybe a little too close to the road,” he said. Fellow Sophiasburgh councillor Terry Shortt reiterated the point that council and the community have much more experience dealing with solar projects than they had even six months ago. Shortt said one problem going forward is the criteria for awarding two points for solar projects.

Justin Dart 613-969-6788

“We have to establish some more criteria for ourselves because one of the things we're finding out is the concentration is going to become a problem,” he said. “The location of certain applications, we may have to look at as a council and say that area is saturated, so we won't give our provincially allowed two points to it.” Shortt said new problems are coming to light now that there are solar installations constructed and operating. He said council has to listen to any complaints the public brings forward regarding those installations and consider them when reviewing the points criteria. Shortt said the only way council can control concentration is through those priority points. He said council has to be aware of the location of future applications and how many of the projects had previously been approved for those areas. “We need to be aware of where the installations are going, how many installa-

tions we have in that area at that time, and listen to the other problems that we have coming forward now

that we actually have some installations to deal with,” he said. “That's enough to take another look.”

Junior Panthers push powerhouse Bayside, but earn silver PECI first team to score 20 points on Bay of Quinte champions Chad ibboTson

Staff writer

While it likely wasn't the Hollywood ending they were hoping for, the PECI Junior Girls Basketball squad can take solace in the fact that they'd already written a pretty good script before Saturday's Bay of Quinte Championship. The Panthers came out of the weekend with a silver medal after a tough loss to the Bayside Red Devils. Coach Andrew Wentworth said he was proud of the effort the girls put forth. “We knew Bayside was going to be tough, obviously,” he said. “The last time we played them, we didn't come to play. We got down and it was the first time coming from behind a team and we just didn't know how to face it. These girls played better than they've played all season and I'm very proud of them.” Just last month the team made history, finishing second in the Bay of Quinte regular season and earning a bye to the Bay of Quinte semifinal against the Nicholson Crusaders. In doing so the team qualified for a berth into the COSSA championships, becoming the first PECI junior club to do so. The Panthers went on to defeat Nicholson 37–32. It was clear from the start the Panthers were in for a challenge in the final. The 10–1 PECI team suffered their only loss of the season at the hands of 11–0 Bayside, who had out-scored opponents 612–110 through the season. The Panthers ultimately fell to Bayside 49–24 in the final, but in doing so be-

(Chad Ibbotson/Gazette staff)

came the first team all season to score more than 20 points on the formidable Red Devils. The Red Devils showed their power early on, getting a quick lead and putting some distance between themselves and PECI. After the half Bayside held a commanding 27–10 lead and continued their impressive performance in the second half. Through three quarters the Red Devils had a 41–14 lead, but the Panthers showed some character in the fourth, out-scoring Bayside 10–8 and carrying the majority of the play. Vanessa Willis with eight, Hailey Van Rossum with seven, and Lydia Dick with six were the top scorers

for the Panthers. Taylor Blair with 14, Hailey Davies with 10, and Dana Hedley with five, lead the way for Bayside. The team has come a long way since last season when the junior girls team didn't win a single game. This year, they sport a silver medal. “Last year our first game was 50-something to three,” said Wentworth. “We've come a long way in the last couple seasons to being a team that's only lost twice in Bay of Quinte and a silver medal and the highest scoring against the gold medal team.” He said the girls have worked hard each game and each practice to im-

prove. “They're extremely coachable and each girl has stepped up to the plate,” he said. Wentworth said if the girls put the work in, the silver medal could be the start of something more. “There's two or three more years with these girls, we're going to be a force to look out for,” he said. “We're going to keep working in the off-season. It's a cliche thing to say, but whoever puts in the most work in the off season is going to be the team that does the best in season.” The junior girls will head to Fenelon Falls today to compete in the COSSA championships.

Dukes bolster goaltending by signing former OHL first-rounder Teichmann Quinte Red Devils product returns home to play for Dudley Hewitt Cup Jason Parks

Staff writer

Tyson in Town New Wellington Duke netminder Tyson Teichmann works out at practice Tuesday with the OJHL club at Essroc Arena. (Jason Parks/Gazette staff)

In the pages of the Gazette almost exactly 20 years ago, then-Picton Pirates general manager John MacNamara boasted about the back end of his hockey club, stating he had five or six of the best defencemen in the Junior C Empire league and probably “one of the best goaltenders at this level of hockey in Ontario.” That young man's name

was Brad Teichmann, an OHLer who had found his way into a Junior C lineup. Fast forward 20 years later and another Teichmann (Brad's son) has arrived on the county junior hockey scene and, given his pedigree, Tyson might just be the best goaltender in Junior A hockey in Ontario. The 2014 Dudley Hewitt Cup host Wellington Dukes announced the acquisition of Teichmann Friday afternoon

from the Kitchener Rangers. The Belleville native became the first local netminder drafted in the first round of the OHL midget entry draft when his hometown Bulls selected the 5'11” 155 lbs puckstopper 18th overall. After two seasons in Belleville, Teichmann bounced around the OHL plying his trade for the London Knights, Erie Otters, Mississauga Steelheads and, finally, the Rangers.

Wellington coach and general Manager Marty Abrams said the club was excited to add Teichmann to the Dukes’ lineup. The left handed catching netminder has international experience, winning a gold medal for Team Canada Under-18s in 2011 and a silver with Team Ontario Under-17s in 2010.

Pirates blank Napanee to keep streak alive Coach says effort wasn’t team’s best, but there were positives Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

Picton's only game of the week saw the Pirates keep their winning streak intact as they topped the Napanee Raiders. The Pirates put up a solid effort against a determined Napanee team last Thursday, ultimately coming away with a 3–0 victory to push their win streak to 11 games. While Pirates coach and general manager Ryan Woodward said it wasn't his club's best showing of the season, he said they got the two points and there were positives to take away. “The guys did some good things. We have a few things we want to improve as we go forward here,” he said. “We got outstanding goaltending on a consistent basis from Andrew Pearson and the D are doing a pretty good job, so it's just about putting in the effort and playing a complete 200-foot game.” While Picton held the advantage in scoring opportunities, the opening period saw both teams play a perimeter game. Much of the play was between the blue lines as either team could get their offence rolling. Late in the period Napanee's Bud Norris took a minor penalty for hooking, but the Raiders survived the ensuing penalty kill to take a 0–0 tie into the second. The shots were close at 8–5 in favour of Picton.

“I don't think there was a lot of flow in the game. I didn't think there was a lot of jump from either team,” Woodward said. “The opportunities were from far out. If you want to score in this league, you have to be willing to get to the dirty areas and you have to be first on the loose puck.” Woodward said there were many occasions when players were chasing pucks and not getting a lot accomplished. The Pirates started the second period with a bit more jump and were quickly

rewarded when Brian Bunnett finished off a play from Evan Greer and Geoff Cleminson at 1:33. While they were down early in the period, the Raiders went to work creating some chances in the op-

position zone. Picton goaltender Andrew Pearson was up to the challenge, however, turning aside all 13 Napanee shots in the middle frame. In the final minute of the period Taylor Brown took the puck from Ryan Sizer and buried it to double the Picton lead. Kenny Murduff had the other assist on the goal. The Pirates finished the second period with two goals on 11 shots. “Early goals are huge because they give you momentum and late goals can be back-breakers to the opposition, so both goals were important,” said Woodward. Woodward praised the play of Brown and Bunnett. “Taylor Brown played fantastic this week. He's got his legs going, he was involved at both ends of the ice, and he was very physical on the puck,” he said. “Brian Bunnett has been great all season long. He continues to put pucks in the back of the net and he continues to be a leader for us.” After 40 minutes of play, the Pirates were looking to pull away. They got their opportunity 31 seconds into the third when Raider Kyle Murphy was called for high sticking.

NO DOUBT CONVERTING MY OIL FURNACE TO GAS PAID OFF WITH $2000 CASH IN MY POCKET BEFORE X-MAS And you can too. Let me explain. Here’s what happened; upon renewing my Home Insurance recently, I found myself being asked politely if I can change my oil furnace to gas. I know I am not alone. So, doing a little research, I found out that there are many reasons to do so. Let me name a few; 1. Natural gas or propane is reason enough to save on energy, I understand it can be as much as 70%/year as well as provide my family with a very efficient heating and cooling system. 2. Furthermore, the Ont. Power Auth.(opa) allow up to $650 in an incentive program (with eligibility). Then a co-worker told me about Access HVAC in Belleville, ON. They offered him a financing plan under $100/mth with no payments for the first 12 mths (oac). 3. They also provided him with an additional rebate incentive which once combined with the OPA was up to $2000. 4. Apparently they converted everything for him the same day. Plus my co-worker had no gas in the area, No Problem, Access HVAC set everything with propane. My wife told me, “what are you waiting for, call them now!” She said she wants those incentives to help us with X-Mas. They guaranteed us the install before Santa even shows up this year. If I remember correctly, their Guarantee Before Santa Install Program is still available till including December, 2013. My wife found their #, its 613-689-7058.

I watched your days blow away, like fall leaves Colours flaming brightly, then quickly gone Your branches now bare-limbed, but I believe For you, eternal autumn lingers on

Strength and grace, not unlike the stately elm Bending, never breaking, your roots ran deep You sheltered many in your loving realm Then winter came, and time for you to sleep But all these many years I have been told We shared the same visage and hazel eye And, missing you, I've only to behold Your face in every mirror that I pass by

(Née Byers) June 10th 1925-November 20th 2010

WILLIAMS- In memory of TerriLynn Wiliams, May 7,1977-November 19, 2005. Years have grown day by day It is now 8 years since she went away Thoughts are full and hearts do weigh Without her here to share the way. Time may dull the hand of fate Memory forever recalls the date. We miss you and love you so much my sweet angel. Love forever and always Mom, Devin, Marissa, Kaci and Chase.

Dukes drop three of four games as they adjust to slower pace of November schedule before heading to Kingston tonight

Wellington drops one-goal decision at home to surging North York JASON PARKS

Staff writer

The great thing about having long breaks between winning hockey games is that you can dwell on them and feel good. The bad things about having long breaks between losing hockey games is that you can dwell on them and feel bad. When the Wellington Dukes were tasked with playing two, three, and four games a week in late September and early October, they stacked up wins like cord wood and never had too much time to dissect their latest triumph because a new challenge was just around the corner. But here in early November, the pace has been much slower (two games in 13 days) and inactivity might be sapping the locals. The club couldn't find a way to contain the suddenly scorching North York Rangers Friday night as the visitors shaded Wellington 3-2. The Dukes (14-5-1) dropped their second in as many games and their third loss in four contests as they allowed the Rangers to have their way in the second. The South Division's third-place club erased a 10 Wellington lead with a pair of goals. In the third, the Dukes climbed back into it via Trevor Cope and his ninth of the campaign at 11:43. Just as it seemed the teams would volley the puck back and forth in the late going to ensure a three point game inter-conference game that every other club in the OJHL loathes, the Rangers got a break.

Matt Whittaker let a harmless looking shot from the wall just inside the blue line go and the puck beat a partially screened Lucas Machalski with just 1:27 remaining. Wellington would lift Machalski for the extra attacker late, but the Dukes could not sustain pressure in the North York zone that generated a prime scoring opportunity. Wellington Dukes coach and general manager Marty Abrams thought his team deserved a better fate in spite of not turning in a full 60-minute effort against the speedy Rangers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought it was a good effort by us in the first and the third periods but it just wasn't a full 60 minute effort. We forgot about the second period and that cost us the hockey game. I still thought we probably deserved at least a point out of it,â&#x20AC;? Abrams said. The Rangers rolled the win over Wellington on Friday into a 5-0 blanking of the Kingston Voyageurs on Sunday, proving that those predicting the Rangers might be the top team in the South were on to something despite their slow start. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The pieces are there for them to take a real good playoff run and that's their intention,â&#x20AC;? Abrams said. It's certainly a different style when we play the South as opposed to the East.â&#x20AC;? It was a run and gun first period Friday where the score favoured Wellington but North York had their chances. The frame's only goal came with 2:20 to go as Steven Deeg banged home

Cope's rebound nine seconds into Wellington's third power play of the period. Any momentum the Dukes built in the first was quickly zapped in the second as Adam Valadao scored 1:48 into the period. Gabriel Valenzuela scored with about three minutes remaining in the second as his quick snap shot beat Machalski low to make it 2-1 North York. Wellington will get back

Health wise we are good and we are OK mentally.â&#x20AC;? This week in practice, the bench boss planned to preach the benefits of playing a 60minute hockey game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The message has to be we need to work a lot harder for 60 minutes. We need to work for 60 and I don't think we are working nearly as hard as we need to be,â&#x20AC;? he said. Round the Roc: The Dukes made a classy move by

Not much time to dwell on wins and losses and barely enough time to recuperate from them. We had somewhat the same pace earlier this season so we know where we are headed,â&#x20AC;? Abrams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Playing games will hopefully help us get into a routine.

Good rapport with OHL Picton heads into home-and-home with Campbellford clubs helps Dukes improve PIRATES, from page 25 finding open areas on the said he's not going to scruti- 7:30 p.m.

GOALIE, from page 24

But the veteran of 130 OHL games was unhappy with his position with a rebuilding Kitchener club and was looking for a change in his hockey career. “I think he's at a point in his career where he's trying to turn to a new chapter that may include CIS hockey next season,” Abrams told the Gazette. “I think he wants to get back to playing hockey and enjoying it a little more than he has in the last couple of years. Abrams added the door to major junior hockey might not be completely closed on Teichmann. “I don't know where it's going to head for us. We are thrilled to have him for now and he if he gets another opportunity he believes is better, we will address that then,” Abrams said. The GM also mentioned

that a good relationship with higher-level clubs have allowed him to make deals in the past couple of weeks that brought the likes of Teichmann and Chad Thibodeau (Sudbury Wolves) into the fold. “We are fortunate to have a good relationship with clubs like the Rangers,” Abrams explained. “They were disappointed to lose Tyson but they were very understanding and cooperative of him wanting to come to Wellington and back home to the Quinte area.” Teichmann isn't the first local major junior netminder to find a home with a tournament hosting Junior A hockey club. Kevin Bailie was sent packing by the Knights last January only to rebound and lead the host Summerside Western Capitals to within a game of the 2013 Royal Bank Cup.

Again the Pirates went to work creating chances. Nolan Powers fed the puck to Brown who found Murduff. Murduff beat Napanee goalie Josh Lasher for the power-play marker at 1:51 of the final frame. Woodward said Murduff has been a key component for the club this season after switching from forward to defence. “He's got a big-time shot and he's been doing a good job of jumping into the play,

ice and — if he gets a good look at the net — he's going to score more times than not,” said Woodward. It was all the scoring the Pirates would need, but it would not be their last opportunity. Picton continued to pound pucks at the net, but Lasher refused to surrender another. The final score read 3–0 for Picton who outshot the Raiders 39–23 — including a 20–5 run in the third. It may not have been the best effort, but Woodward

nize a win too much. “It was a team win. We win together and we lose together and we weren't happy with the overall effort, but we're not going to complain about a win,” he said. The Pirates had the week off between games. They face the Campbellford Rebels in the first game of a home-andhome series tonight at the Prince Edward Community Centre. The second game is Friday night in Campbellford. Puck drop for both games is

Woodward said the week off was important for players to rest up, recharge, and refocus. “We're just taking things a day at a time, but it gives us an opportunity to get some much-needed practice in, allow us to build some chemistry in our lineup as we add some bodies and focus on Thursday against Campbellford,” he said. “We need to come out with a lot of jump, we need to dictate the pace, and we have to be hungry.”

Novice Kings beat Ennismore twice

and Guerrera. Austin Stock was solid in the win. On Sunday in Wellington, the Kings grounded the Eagles by a convincing 8-1 score. MacDonald notched a hat trick in the win, with Smith netting a pair. Single tallies went to Guerrera, Philip, and Young. Assists went to Philip with a pair, Matt Vincent, Reese Kleinsteuber, Nathan Steen, and Rice. The Kings host Tweed in Picton on Saturday and Gananoque in Wellington on Sunday.

The County Farm Centre Novice Kings have won four straight games since the Milk tournament and are now 10-1 in Eastern OMHA league play and 17-1 overall. Last weekend the Kings played a home and away set with the Ennismore Eagles. In Ennismore on Saturday, the Kings downed the Eagles 6-2 on the strength of a pair of Kieran Young goals. Ben Smith, Liam Philip, Dominic Guerrera, and Liam Rice with a blast from the point also scored. Assists went to Riley Grimmon (two) including one a nifty face-off play, Gerrit Kempers (two), Lochlan MacDonald, Philip,

Peewee AEs edged on road

The Scotiabank Peewee AE Kings weren't quite able to shake off two weeks worth of rink rust Sunday and were shaded 4-3 by the Centre Hastings Grizzlies in Marmora. After the Kings let up a Grizzlies goals ten seconds into the first frame, Ben Giroux set up Jackson Fox for an equalizer. Next, it was Giroux on a nifty shorthanded effort to stake the Kings to a 2-1 lead towards the end of the first period. The second verse was almost the same as the first as the Kings allowed an early goal to open the frame, only to have Giroux and this time Case McFarland set Fox for a go ahead goal. Unfortunately for the Kings, the Grizzlies had a little more left in the tank and scored twice to take it 4-3. The Scotiabank Peewee AE Kings plays next week in Oshawa. In other Kings news... n The Greer Excavating Atom County Kings were tasked with a light schedule last weekend as they run a gauntlet of four games in five days this weekend. The Kings dominated their only action this past weekend, grounding the visiting Ennismore Eagles 6-1 Jasper Gilbert blasted home a pair from the point for the Kings and Parker Mattis also found the range twice.Wyatt Slade and Hayden Legere added singles. Assists went to Cameron Pero (two), Legere, Cole Lavender, Slade (two), Gilbert, Cale Carter and Ethan Abrams. The Kings are making due without Justin Crowe who remains out with a severed tendon in his right hand and is not expected back for at least 4 more weeks. Kings netminder Nic McGrayne got ambushed at start of third when the Kings got a penalty and then the puck stuck on the freshly cleaned ice and sat there for the Eagle to rip a rocket over the Brick's shoulder.

Demand high for Angel Tree this year Christmas gift program already has over 60 children signed up

THANK Y Jason Parks

Staff writer

It's the one Christmas Tree in Prince Edward County that would look better adorned with just a few scant decorations rather than the scores of little white angels hanging from it currently. Unfortunately, there are already over 60 angels hanging from the local Children's Aid Society Angel Tree at the group's office located at Benson Hall. Sue Rose and her dedicated volunteers have moved into the hall and Rose said early expectations as that the need will be great this coming Christmas season. “We know the requests for the OPP snowsuit drive were great and it was tough for the donations to match (the demand),” Rose said. “I expect the same here at the Angel tree office.” While the umbrella organization has changed this year due to the amalgamation of the Prince Edward County CAS into the Highland Shores CAS, the program is continuing to operate as it has in the past.

Did you know...

Rose wanted it made clear that no changes to the Angel Tree program have been made. “Money raised here stays here to buy presents for the Prince Edward County families in need,” she explained. The Angel office is currently open Monday to Friday, 10 a.m. To 3 p.m. And will have expanded hours as Christmas gets closer. Forms for enrolment into the gift giving program for children aged infant to 16 are available at the CAS office, Ontario Works and at the Angel Tree office. For more information on
