If Picton Business Improvement Association manager Lyndsay Richmond didn't experience a few headaches this past year she wouldn’t be human. The local BIA put the wraps on 2016 and turned an eye to 2017 at its annual general meeting at Gus's Restaurant last Thursday evening and both Richmond and the membership in attendance seemed eager to watch the calendar flip to a new year. “Looking back on 2016, this has been one of the most difficult for the association and the membership,” Richmond said, using her 12 years with the organization as a barometer. On top of all the regular tasks, initiatives and programs that are expected to be completed by the BIA, Richmond was tasked with dealing with all the aspects of the Picton Main Street construction project whether it was providing daily input, managing expectations or advocating for local businesses. Richmond said she can still say with confidence there were a number great

successes over the past 12 months and, over time, the growth over the past decade, going from zero participation, a few small projects, and non-existent communications to the current standard has been remarkable. “Today the BIA has a number of ongoing and annual projects that we maintain and expansion of existing projects and new projects that we are developing and through volunteer committees, we are maintaining positive partnerships with fellow like-minded organizations and the municipality,” Richmond said.

Canada’s longest publishing non-daily newspaper, proudly serving Prince Edward County since 1830
Many take time to remember veterans’ sacrifices
Canada’s fallen were not forgotten in Prince Edward County last Friday as large crowds turned out in Picton, Wellington, and Consecon to pay their respects. The brilliant sunshine, temperate westerly wind and pleasant weather on Friday at Picton's cenotaph belied the horrors experienced by our County youth that went abroad to fight and die in service to Canada. A mass of school children from St. Greg’s, Pinecrest Memorial and Queen Elizabeth as well as scores of adult onlookers were respectful as the traditional ceremonial gathering played out like it has for over a century with Padre Bill Kidnew of the Royal Canadian Legion's Branch 78 officiating. Exiting Picton United Church after a solemn service of remembrance, service men and woman and the 851 Squadron Royal Canadian Air Cadets mustered on Main Street ahead of 11 a.m. Assembling earlier than anticipated, Kidnew remarked that the late Woodrow Blakely, the county's Mr. Remembrance, wouldn't appreciate a jump start to the proceedings.

Councillors donate $2,500 from grants fund as contribution to Feed The Meter Alternative funding replaces past aid from December parking revenue CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER
With parking meters having been removed from Picton Main Street for the reconstruction project, councillors sought an alternative to continue support the Feed the Meter campaign last week. At their Nov. 10 committee-of-the-whole meeting councillors supported a motion to donate $2,500 to the Feed the Meter campaign. The money will come from a pool of $4,500 that remains in the municipality's community grants budget as a community
project that was granted the funds did not move forward. While staff had suggested a $1,000 contribution, Mayor Robert Quaiff made the motion to increase the donation, saying the parking meters typically generate about $2,000. “Unfortunately, we did the Main Street construction and took out all of the parking meters, so this is a lovely alternative to that for this year,” he said. Last year council unanimously supported participation in the Hastings and Prince Edward Learning

Foundation's Feed the Meter campaign through the end of the current council term. The campaign raised $29,163 across Prince Edward County, Quinte West, and Belleville last year. Under the program all revenue generated from municipal parking meters through the month of December is donated back to the campaign. The campaign supports the foundation's Food for Learning program which provides healthy breakfasts, lunch and snacks to local school children. The program served 1,065,255 meals and snacks to 15,559 students last year in Hastings and Prince Edward counties. “It's so vital to the community,” said Quaiff. “The last stat we got from (Hastings and Prince Edward

the program while attending a cheque presentation ceremony for Feed the Meter last year. “Everybody knows that if you're operating on a full stomach and you've got the energy, your education improves right off the bat,” he said. “It's a fantastic program and one I can fully support and endorse.” Councillor Bill Roberts also spoke in support of the program, citing local food insecurity data. “This region has the sec-
ond-highest level of food insecurity in the province of Ontario,” he said. “We have had at least two vital signs documents underlining that, that's even more sadly ironic in Prince Edward County.” He said providing food to local students to help them learn is a basic right. Parking in Picton's downtown core will remain free through December as a way to support local businesses, but people can voluntarily pay for parking as a way to support the program.
Consecon parade this Sunday
Santa Claus will make his first visit to the county this holiday season Sunday with his customary stop at the Consecon parade in his honour.

Marshalling will begin at noon. Several events will complement the parade. Consecon United Church and the local library branch will host arts and craft sales from 10
a.m. until 4 p.m. County artist Marc Keelan-Bishop will unveil a mural of the latest poster in his Prince Edward County series. Refreshments will be available from noon on at the Masonic Lodge. After the parade Santa will hand out Advent calendars there. From 2-5 p.m. the Cascades Pub and Grill will host a $5 chili and bun fundraiser for the Storehouse Foodbank. The event coincides with the restaurant’s sixth annual A Time To Share event. There will be live entertainment.

Former board member returns to organization in part-time position to implement strategic priorities of communication, outreach, support
PECAC hopeful Smith can build awareness, programs as first executive director ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER
Janna Smith has a keen understanding of mandate as the first executive director of the Prince Edward County Arts Council (PECAC). After all, she helped create the strategic direction she'll be asked to implement. The Bloomfield resident had been serving on PECAC's executive board as the organization surveyed its accomplishments and its purpose going into its 30th year this year. She stepped down in May to give birth to a child, but not before coming to a shared realization PECAC needs to forge stronger awareness among potential members and the community at large. "There's a challenge there, which is to prove our relevance. In this day and age, artists have all the tools they need — they have a web site to have e-commerce and to promote events — and they might not need this organization," she said. Coming together as a group can only make us stronger. For anyone to donate money or volunteer their time, they have to see the value in the organization they have chosen. It's time to reassert our place, acknowledge there has been change, and to see how we can better serve the artists in the community." As the strategic planning process continued, PECAC president Sue Barclay said the board saw a need to re-estab-
lish the organization as a resource to help the arts community and to promote new initiatives. A new five-year strategic plan will focus on improved communications, community outreach, and artist support. Those change wouldn't necessarily come as a departure from the organization's support of its signature events, but the introduction of more initiatives. "It's not necessarily departures, it's add-ons. We want to figure out ways of developing new programs, making connections, and doing more outreach," she said. "We have a great influx of new people to the community and a lot of them are artists. We need to be able to find ways to support them." It quickly became clear that volunteers alone couldn't be tasked with creating the desired change. After years of discussion, the board decided it was time to hire an executive director. A part-time position was created and advertised in September. More than 20 applicants applied — many from outside the community, and half were interviewed. Smith impressed the remaining directors with her skills and her vision. "We picked the right one," said Barclay. "She has experience in the area, she knows the county — which I think is very important — and has connections with people. She's good with people and can make those kind of connections and extend our

reach." Smith moved to the county in 2013 with her husband Duncan Moore to run a bed-andbreakfast after spending 15 years working in the arts, primarily in Montreal. There, she worked with an organization in transition itself, Youth Theatre. The company creates new works for children and young adults but as Smith was coming on board, its revenue had declined with Montreal's Anglophone population shrinking and schools closing. "They needed to find new ways to operate. I helped them become a touring com-

pany and now they tour successfully across Canada," she said. "That's an experience I can bring. I've seen change, I've had a hand in change, so I think I have the skills and experience to envision something different and to transform what is there." With those changes, Smith said she didn't alter the product, but rather, she helped it reach a broader audience. When considering PECAC's product range, Smith said she doesn't envision great changes for vents like Art in the County, The
Maker's Hand, CLiC, or the jazz and music festivals. Instead, she said, PECAC might reach more artists through new programming. "We have to sit down and talk about these programs and what shape they'll take," Smith said. "An easy one for us to perhaps put in place is a program to help artists with professional development. That touches on artists from every discipline." PECAC has already started a series of Learning Lunches to provide that resource to local artists. No stranger to arts promotion in the county, having served as a trustee for Awesome PEC and the administrative manager for the Festival Players of Prince Edward County for its 2015 season, Smith is also looking forward to outreach programming. Barclay noted that one of Smith's first tasks will be finding funding to provide revenue for the programming created. The new executive director said that is one place where outreach could produce tangible results. "It's not necessarily only public funds. We're looking at making some ties with businesses and putting a program in place where there's a reciprocal cross-promotion, linking businesses to artists," she said. "It's also important to put things in place that are concrete. When we develop a program, we let people know

their money is going to that program, not supporting an administrative position. It's going to be reinvested in our community." Support for new festivals and arts events is also an option, particularly since PECAC can provide immeasurable help behind the scenes. Its charitable status allows partners to apply for grans and collect donations. It can also assist with insurance. "We've been somewhat of an incubator," Smith said. "We can take care of all those not fun thingsâ&#x20AC;Ś it's like putting a roof on your house, it's not exciting but you need it." Youth engagement may be another avenue of exploration in future years. Smith said she feels an openness at the PECAC board level to try different, creative things and that excites her. "I am thrilled to have the opportunity to implement this exciting new direction for the Arts Council. I'm particularly keen to develop new programs that have a tangible impact for county artists." The position begins Jan. 2 with Smith slated to work 20 hours a week. To afford its first executive director, Barclay said the PECAC board has decided to voluntarily take on office administration duties and not employ an office administrator as in past years. She said there is potential for the role to expand as PECAC grows.

Sandbank Homes could see significant reduction in its development fees Motion calls for securities payments to be reduced to 15 per cent of costs CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER
Committee of the whole approved a motion last week which would see a significant reduction in security fees for a local developer. At their Nov. 10 meeting, committee approved a motion executing an amending subdivision agreement between the County and Sandbank Homes Inc. reducing the required performance security from 100 per cent to 15 per cent of total construction costs. A staff report presented to councillors at the meeting says Sandbank currently has a subdivision agreement for the company's multi-phase Wellington on the Lake private subdivision. The subdivision consists of three main construction phases with each phase broken into stages. Phases one and two of the subdivision are built out and the third phase is well underway with Stage 3 about to begin. The report says the infrastructure in the development will not be assumed by the municipality. Consequently, the liability risk to the County is much less than conventional subdivisions where all infrastructure is assumed. The municipality regularly takes performance securities
to cover the cost of completing the works in case the project fails. The report says in this case, the County is under no obligation to complete the private works. If the project failed for any reason, the municipality wouldn't undertake its completion. “The private subdivision model does not have public infrastructure associated with it and our resolve to a failed project would be to secure the site instead of actually completing the private works,” the report says. “Securing 100 per cent of the construction costs is, in staff’s opinion, in excess of what the municipality would need to perform the required activities to secure the site.” The report says the municipality's practice has been to take securities equal to 100 per cent of estimated construction costs, regardless of whether the subdivision would have public or private infrastructure. It says the practice can be financially onerous to developers and may be unnecessary in the case of private development works. Mayor Robert Quaiff said the motion is a direct result of positive conversations the municipality has had with Sandbank. “For me and council, this speaks volumes about our endorsement and support for the housing they've provided in Prince Edward County for a good number of years,” Quaiff said. He said Sandbank Homes
has proven to be dependable and this move shows the municipality's confidence in, and willingness to work with, the developer. “This will free up a large amount of capital for them and make them more sustainable down the road,” he said. Security fees were identified through the Mayor's development forum as one area where the municipality could assume some risk and free up capital for developers with the ultimate goal of

spurring development across the municipality. While at this point the measure applies only to Sandbank, Quaiff didn't rule out expanding the security reduction to other developers in the future. “We'll have that conversation, but for now we were approached by this developer and everything they spoke to us about seemed to make sense,” he said. The municipality's development framework commit-

tee met on Nov. 11 and Quaiff said that group is in the process of prioritizing ways local development can be improved. The report says the move supports the municipality's corporate strategic plan by encouraging growth in settlement areas, developing incentives to encourage private sector development, and placing emphasis on new housing starts. The motion follows council's May 2016 approval of a
consolidated cost reimbursement and securities agreement with Sandbank Homes. Staff said that agreement was the first of a pilot project aimed toward reducing the amount of securities the County requires developers to deposit when making development applications. They said if the pilot project were found to be beneficial, a policy and terms of reference would be created to extend the program to other developers.

COMMENTARY Children must be encouraged to make time for active play
NEW toys and games are the subject of many television commercials now heading toward Christmas as their producers know many Canadian parents will be buying for their children. Tablets and smartphones now make regular appearances in schools and more youth have access to the online world than ever before. Software and application designers have created worlds of experiences that can be accessed at the flick of a screen — most at no cost or minimal cost. Organized sports and group activities have never been so prevalent in our communities and entities have been established for the sole purpose of making those opportunities more accessible. One could argue we’re living in a great era for children to grow up in, one that encourages imaginative play and offers a great deal of benefit. For all the good, however, it appears young Canadians are not finding active ways to play — and that could have a number of detrimental impacts as those children move into adulthood. A global comparison of 38 countries conducted by the Healthy Active Living and Obesity Research Group at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario has concluded that Canada lags near the back of the pack when it comes to sedentary behaviours, overall physical activity, active transportation, and active play. Several of the countries that lead the way in those categories aren’t as developed as Canada and they don’t have the access to transportation infrastructure or to electronic devices. That said, some developed countries, like those in Scandinavia scored better on those indicators. Researcher Dr. Mark Tremblay suggested the differences may be cultural, with North Americans accepting a culture of convenience — driv-
ing everywhere, relying on screens to be entertained, and not stressing physical education enough in busy school days dedicated to packing in lessons geared to producing higher academic standards. If this pattern is going to change, it is important that Canadians strive for social change by embracing the idea of active, healthy living and by encouraging free play amongst children. Time must be blocked off away from screens and outside of classrooms. While parents and teachers are role models and they should be leaders in promoting healthy lifestyles, there is nothing wrong with allowing young people time for unstructured play. If left to their own devices, they’ll be able to create games they’ll enjoy and they’ll choose to be active. That’s a good reminder, even within structured athletics programs. A few years back when Canada was reeling after it missed an Olympic hockey medal for the second time in Torino, Italy, there was a discussion about how the game had become too structured. Wayne Gretzky spoke out about the over-regimental approach taken in minor hockey and how much of his fun and much of his learning came when he was alone on the backyard rink in Brantford at night, or when he stepped on the pond with friends and just played. Too often, structured play limits the freedom in young people to create and, sadly, more and more are finding that satisfaction solely with an Xbox controller at hand, rather than out in the world. It comes down to adults letting children be children and not being afraid to encourage them to get active. Those who discover that love of activity will pass it on to future generations. Ultimately, that will reduce health complications, encourage creative thinking, and benefit society.
PICTURING OUR COMMUNITY
Stories From Our Past n Sara Rowell Wright, the Dominion president of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union was to speak at the Regent Theatre about Ontario’s vote on temperance and government control of the liquor system. n A large block of Conservative voters signed a petition stating they’d break rank and support Progressive William Raney in the provincial election as they did not agree with premier Howard Ferguson’s platform on government control of liquor. n Prince Edward County sheriff David Barker seized several hundred acres in South Marysburgh, which would be offered for sale by auction.

n Mild fall weather translated into a savings on home heating for many local residents. Some reported saving as much as a quarter of the money they spend on fuel, others were more conservative with their estimated savings. n Col. Gerald Allison was elected as the new president of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 78. In his term, the executive was looking to start a campaign to ensure all veterans of both World Wars became members. n Quinte Air Services applied for a permit to offer flying instruction and to park its airplanes at certain areas of the Picton air station.

Consecon branch hosts craft sale to help with ongoing renovations
With holiday season officially upon us with that comes the fifth annual Consecon Branch Library restoration and renovation project Christmas craft sale that’s held in conjunction with the much-anticipated Consecon Santa Claus parade. Mark your calendar for Sunday, Nov. 20 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Consecon branch of the County Library is located in the former Holy Trinity Anglican Church, directly across the street from the post office. The last church service in the more than 150-year-old stone building took place almost forty years ago in 1978. The “Crown of Thorns” steeple is in much need of restoration and this annual craft sale is one of our most important fundraising projects. Pick up something handmade for yourself or start your holiday shopping. Shoppers also have the opportunity to take part in draws to win jewelry,
check out the vendors and visit with us. We look forward to seeing you all!

lavender products, jams, soaps, crochet throws, gift certificates and many other items that have been generously donated by local crafters, artisans, residents and businesses. Participation in these draws helps to build funding for restoration of the steeple. On behalf of the branch, I invite everyone to come,
I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank two of our loyal patrons for their support and generous donation of a 90-gallon fish tank. Howard Hunter and Anne Reeves have also given us “Pluto the Pleco” also known as the tank cleaner fish as well as two adorable angelfish who are both in need of names. We need your help in picking the perfect name for these angelic fish…hmm, possibly Nemo and Dory? Howard and Anne have provided everything we need to keep the fish happy and healthy – such as an aerator, pump, petrified wood, vacuum as well as a nifty volcano that sends lava-like aerated streams of bubbles to the sur-
face. The tank will be located in the children's section of the Picton branch for everyone to enjoy. Please be sure to share your name ideas with your local library staff members the next time you visit.
LITERACY CHALLENGE
Next year marks Canada’s 150th anniversary and we’re already thinking about creative ways to celebrate. At the County Library, festivities begin with our participation in the Bay of Quinte’s Canada 150 Literacy Challenge. Bay of Quinte MP Neil Ellis is inviting all local students from Junior Kindergarten through to Grade 8 to take part. Over the course of the year, students will be challenged to read 150 pieces of literature about Canadian heritage and culture.

I would like to thank councillor Kevin Gale, our Mayor Robert Quaiff and OPP Sgt. John Hatch for their time and effort in making Northport a safer place by championing the placement of digital speed display signs, at both entrances to our hamlet.
Since this past May, I have been in contact regularly with my Councillor and the Mayor about speeding traffic going through Northport. At times it was like a race track, where homeowners erected their own signs asking motorists to slowdown.
Thanks to OPP Officer Hatch, speeds were recorded at well beyond the posted 50 kph. - which proved that a serious problem really exists. Some recorded speeds were in excess of 100 kph! Hopefully these displays will remind drivers to slow down – people
actually do live here! To see these display signs being installed gave me hope that our speeding problems are being addressed and not being ignored. I believe everyone involved knows that this is only the beginning of addressing the more serious issue of public safety
in Northport – but this is a great start! Thank you to the aforementioned people for their hard work and for making Northport a safer place to live. Dennis Fox Northport
Councillors should lead efforts to shop locally this Christmas season
Picton Main Street merchants are struggling to make ends meets and pay the bills with this ongoing construction. Need it be publicly
broadcast, several times today, that council and the mayor are receiving raises! Maybe they could collectively donate that extra money to all of the business
owners who have received no financial breaks for the hardships they are experiencing. Or, hey, I know another idea…..why doesn’t council
and the mayor take a stroll down Main and spend some of their money in our stores? I challenge our government to shop locally this Christmas season and actually help
support the businesses that make up Picton’s downtown core.

Picton business owners eager to see Main Street recycling solution DOWNTOWN, from page 1
While the work was staggered to the shoulder seasons, major construction certainly impacted 2016 for local businesses and while the work was overdue and will improve the look of downtown, it's been a difficult time. “The one part I would say is that the Picton BIA has had a very good relationship with the Taggart crew that's been on site, they seem to be as accommodating as possible with our requests and have kept us informed,” Richmond said. “And the workers have been supporting downtown businesses.” Richmond added that other downtowns haven't had as a good a relationship with those entrusted to improve the city and village cores. “In talking to other communities that have had downtown construction during the height of the season, we got a good contractor and they have been very good to work with,” she said. Scott Walcott of Picton Harbour Inn & The Lighthouse Restaurant added some regular guests walked
up Main Street earlier last week and were quite complimentary towards the redevelopment of Main Street. “It's nice to know that after the summer we've had, visitors are taking notice of the improvements,” Walcott said. Looking ahead to 2017, the BIA will be advocating for the development and beautification of public parking facilities in Picton which would include proper wayfinding and information signage, While it wasn't on the agenda, the membership seems ready for the municipality to move into the 21st Century and offer recycling receptacles along with the garbage bins along Main Street. Richmond explained that the BIA had invested in three dual-purpose receptacles back when the municipality had a recreation, parks and culture department with the idea of providing those downtown an opportunity to recycle. Unfortunately, the municipality wasn't able to work through some issues with regards to recycling collection from the receptacles and two of the three units were even-
tually set on fire by vandals. “There have discussions since that time about recycling collection downtown but there could be a stronger push it its coming from the membership on Main Street,” Richmond said. “I know we want to live like it's 1830 around here but our generation wants to recycle,” said Andre Aubertin of Innovative Jewelry. “I'll even pitch in and put a recycling bin in front of our store as long as the municipality picks it up.” “It's appalling and ridiculous,” added Elia Gallo of Frugal and Company. “We pay taxes. “It's the municipality's responsibility is to have a clean environment.” “I think it needs to be something that needs to be focused on and pushed and even added as a priory of the BIA going forward,” Richmond said. “I do know that there are some things the municipality needs to figure out before they can go ahead with recycling.” Richmond also stopped the meeting in order to honour Arlene Wright for her
ongoing work with regard to the botanical beautification of downtown. Prior to the commencement of the meeting, members listened to guest speaker Emily Cowan of the Prince Edward County Chamber of Tourism and Commerce (PECCTAC). The newly minted executive director is about twoand-a-half months into her posting and is still in the ramp-up phase of the position but offered a brief outlook on the where the organization is organizationally and where it is headed. Cowan labeled PECCTAC as the “network of networks” that connect the Prince Edward County business community with each other and outside resources. She added the group serves an advocacy function for its members at the municipal, provincial and federal levels. Cowan takes over the helm of PECCTAC during a time of transition as the municipality has announced it will taking over visitor services starting in January. “Tourism has come a long
way in Prince Edward County it's a vast area to cover and the municipality feels it can be dealt with in different ways,” Cowan said. Around one million visitors came to the island last in 2016 and many of those paid a visit to the Chamber office, information, advice and travel tips. “Where ever the chamber office will be, we are still looking forward to visitors stopping by and passing on information because promotion of our members benefits all of us,” Cowan explained. “But this move will allow us to concentrate on our members. It was getting harder and harder to focus on our members with how popular Prince Edward County is becoming.” Cowan confirmed there are rebranding considerations taking place and a potential relaunch in could come in 2017. Regardless of the label, the group will be committed to Prince Edward County's businesses and business people. “We still want every business in the County to succeed, we want the county to be a thriving place to do business and visit and experience.”

Councillors to receive bump in remuneration for 2017 tied to CPI increase CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER
It appears council will continue with past practice and approve an increase in compensation for council members that is in line with the
Consumer Price Index. Committee of the whole supported a motion last week increasing the 2017 remuneration for councillors by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) of 1.41 per cent over 2016. The change
THE BECK N CALL

brings the mayor's compensation to $38,539 and remuneration for councillors to $19,269. That's about $537 more for the mayor and $268 more per councillor. Compensation for committee chairs increased slightly to $1,606 for the year, while committee meeting chairs will receive an honorarium of $130 per meeting day. The current kilometerage rate of $0.50 per kilometre for council and staff remained unchanged following a staff review of automobile allowance rates issued by the Canada Revenue Agency and South Ontario Fuel Prices by the

Ministry of Energy. The estimated impact of the increase is $5,500 versus the 2016 budget. Councillor David Harrison said he wouldn't support the increase. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will not support this for the same reason I've said all along,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We're adequately remunerated and we should lead by holding the line rather than keeping up as everyone else has.â&#x20AC;? Councillor Treat Hull said he viewed the issue the DAVID HARRISON same as he did when debatbig difference in my paying the increase for 2016. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will support it, not cheque, but because right because it's going to make a now the lack of compensation is a significant barrier for many people younger than retirees,â&#x20AC;? he said. He said if the municipality is ever going to have increase participation in
local government among younger residents, the compensation for the positions must increase or, at a minimum, not move backwards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In this case it's not about increasing, it's just about keeping up with the cost of living,â&#x20AC;? said Hull. Mayor Robert Quaiff agreed. He said council compensation is a topic all municipalities struggle with, but one reason to at least keep compensation in line with the CPI is to help keep council positions viable for young people who have jobs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To get a better mix and blend in councils, compensation has to be adjusted to reflect that,â&#x20AC;? he said. The motion will come before council for approval on Nov. 22.

Mary’s Odyssey comes to Macaulay House Theatrical program will offer adventure at historic site
WHATTAM’S COMMUNITY CALENDAR
CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER
A historic experience will be coming to Prince Edward County next week. On Saturday, Nov. 26 theatre company Live History will be presenting Mary's Odyssey at Macaulay House. Three performances are scheduled for 11 a.m., 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. at a cost of $10 per person. Live History specializes in bringing local history to life with interactive shows that are customized to historic settings. The company will tour a total of 21 venues around the world in 2016. The production last visited the county in May 2015. The local shows will take audiences on a one-hour adventure, including a full tour of Macaulay House. The shows will centre around a young maid named Mary. In the story Mrs. Macaulay has died, but it is rumoured she left a treasure hidden somewhere in the house. Audiences will assist Mary with finding the treasure. A news release from the municipality says the journey back in time will present audiences with an experience of honour, love and loss while being guided by Mary — the one person who has seen all in the home.

“Programs such as these are fun and have the added benefit of fitting our museums’ strategic goals,” says County Museums head curator Jennifer Lyons in the release. “We want the county’s local history to be a participatory experience — and in the case of Mary’s Odyssey our museum visitors become key characters in the performance itself!” Macaulay House will be
fully decorated for an 1850s Christmas. Visitors are also invited to stay after the performance to hear a curator's talk about Victorian Christmas traditions and their connection to modern ways of celebrating the holiday.

QEMA to sell prints of Laurie Scott’s painting of Wellington Consolidated School ‘Marbles’ JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER
SUPPORTING ART QEMA
member Sheila Vansoelen, left, purchased the artist’s proof of Laurie Scott’s “Marbles,” the first of 50 reproductions. (Jason Parks/Gazette staff)
The Quinte Educational Museum and Archives (QEMA) have once again turned to former educator and artist Laurie Scott and her works in an effort to raise funds for the historical education preservation group. On Friday at the Wellington Town Hall from 11 a.m. To 3 p.m., QEMA and Scott will unveil “Marbles,” a scene depicting a group of young boys playing the mid-century mainstay in front of Wellington Consolidated School in the late 1950s. The school, which was
Ontario's first consolidated school when it was built in 1922, was later renamed in honour of former principal C.M.L. Snider in 1976. This effort marks Scott's second work that has assisted QEMA. In 2008, she produced Drop the Hanky, a scene depicting QEMA's Victorian Schoolhouse and how it looked in 1904 with a group of children playing another type of popular co-operative game just before the start of the school day in the fore ground. Scott felt QEMA had gotten great mileage out of her initial effort designed for fundraising and agreed to produce another and craft a
series of paintings depicting students and schools that were of historical interest. Originally, Scott had created a watercolour in time for the 2015 QEMA Victorian Gala but serendipity took hold and, by fate, she managed to squirt acrylic paint onto the piece while working on something else. The initial work was ruined. “I thought you have to be philosophical about this, paint just doesn't squirt out of the bottle like that. It was meant to be. This painting wants to be done acrylic and be done right,” Scott told the Gazette. Scott chose C.M.L. Snider
because of its grand architecture and the vast front yard. Of course anyone who was around at that time will recall that children would never be caught playing on the lush green lawn during school hours. In another instance of coincidence, the painting is being unveiled during a time in history where the Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board is likely to lead a charge of school consolidation that could impact local schools. Being the oldest school in the county serves C.M.L. Snider well from a historical aspect, however, its age could be a factor when considering infrastr-
tucture requirementss. “Whatever the fate of the school, I hope this print will serve as a record of how it once looked and will help to preserve a little piece of Wellington's history,” Scott said. “I would like to build on this series in the future with the historical theme of children at play in county schools. Some, like Mary Street School in Picton have disappeared from our landscape, but are still present in the memories of a few of us.” A series of 50 numbered proofs will be available for purchase tomorrow at the unveiling as well as an unlimited run of posters and note cards.

Firelight Lantern glow attracts crowds to Picton Fourth annual festival draws largest group of participants yet JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER
They say its darkest before the dawn but in Picton on Saturday night, it was lightest just before the song. Accompanied by Dave Clark and the Woodshed Orchestra, nearly 100 people took part in the fourth annual Firelight Lantern Festival, dancing their way from Benson Park to the Crystal Palace. A multi-generational mass lit up the Main street with homemade lanterns, light sticks and strands of lights and illuminated banners and were led by a giant paper mache angel. Once at one of Picton's most iconic landmarks, young and old played, danced and partied into the night while spectacular decorations hung just overhead. Organizer Susanne Larner was thrilled with the turnout. In spite of some heavy winds, the 2016 edition of the Firelight Lantern Festival was the best attended so far. “Every year, there's been more and more people coming out and taking part so it was wonderful in terms of participation,” Larner said. Leading up to the event, organizers held a series of lantern workshops throughout Prince Edward County where young and old crafted their own tissue paper beacons in advance of the event. “The workshops are key and I think the parade is a real attraction as well,” Larner explained of the enthusiasm shown by the community. “It's not really a parade that's meant to be watched it's more of a parade to be a part of.” A homegrown event held in November as to be sure to

avoid the busy tourist season, the community gathering for friends and neighbours and anyone with a spark of childhood wonder is a multiple arts festival to tickle all five senses. “We had a lot of first-time people but there were others who have been coming since
the first one and can't believe we topped last year but it keeps getting bigger and better every year,” Larner added. This year's event was even more satisfying and home-grown than in years past as the group missed out on an Ontario Arts Council
grant was tasked with raising funds locally and through online donations. “We had a lot of local contributors, donors and sponsors and the base of that was very county-centric which is always nice to see,” Larner added.

Catholic Women’s League members make hand muffs for dementia sufferers Colourful creations serve to help people calm their minds, occupy their hands ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER
They're bright and colourful, they're warm and fuzzy, and they're believed to help with dementia. Avid knitter Joan Lent has brought six of the 24 hand muffs she's created over the summer months to the West Lake Terrace to donate before winter. The additional pieces are also in demand. While Lent has made a steady business of selling beautiful knitted wearables at local craft shows, these peculiar creations might not be the first things people would choose. They measure about a foot in length and combine coloured bands that don't necessarily always complement each other. Odd, irregular buttons are attached at random, as are fabrics with different textures. Lent said they'd cost her about $2 each to make. Lent started making hand muffs after hearing about the items from Bea Papiz at a Catholic Women's League meeting at St. Gregory The Great parish. Papiz told her cohorts about being captivated on Sunday morning this spring by a CBC Radio report by Michael Enright about a London, Ont. group of women who developed hand muffs for people living with dementia. "They spoke of their combined creativity with such wonderful joy and friendship," Papiz said. "They went on to say these are knitted or crocheted and have buttons and objects on them. They gifted these to people suffer-

ing from dementia and it would calm them down." Papiz explained many seniors feel the cold, so they welcomed the idea of having something warm to cover their hands. In London, they also noticed that those suffering from dementia found a therapeutic quality while stimulated by the different textures, buttons, and toys attached to the hand muffs. "They say the muffs give patients something to do with their hands and often help them relax," Papiz said. "In Michael's words, 'comfort, warmth, and simple stimulation have been literally stitched in.'" One of the knitters on that program described interactions with a patient who calmed down almost immediately after receiving her
hand muff. Papiz said she was moved to bring the idea to the Catholic Women's League in June as a way to promote fellowship and community service. "It constitutes one of our corporal works of mercy to reach out to others with love and compassion. Like the woman in London said, we're limited in our capacity to help people, but here's one way we can." Lent immediately answered the call. She said she had yarn and time to offer and her own doctor was encouraging her to find an activity that would calm her and offer purpose. "It was something for me to do — something I could do," she said. "I wanted to help."
NOTICE OF PUBLIC CONSULTATION
Comment is invited on proposed amendments to the Quinte Region Assessment Report and Source Protection Plan related to proposed updates to the vulnerable area maps for the City of Belleville and Town of Picton municipal water sources.
The Assessment Report identifies threats to municipal drinking water sources. The Source Protection Plan sets out policies to address those threats. Both documents contain maps that identify the vulnerable areas around municipal water sources. It is proposed to update these maps for the City of Belleville and the Town of Picton to include recently developed areas that could impact the water sources. Certain Source Protection Plan policies would then apply in the areas added to the maps. If you live, work or own property within the proposed added areas then the proposed amendments may affect you.

Another woman in the parish, Josephine Gentile, is also helping by crocheting. In organizing the effort, Papiz spoke with fellow parishioner Mary Lynn Lester, a registered nurse who recently retired as the administrator at West Lake Terrace. She provided contacts with the company that runs the home, Omni Healthcare, and arranged for a donation. "The Ministry of Health and Long-Term care is always looking for alternatives for how we're trying to help people with dementia through non-chemical inter-
vention," Lester said. "It's been a huge initiative at Omni homes." Janie Denard is the current life enrichment co-ordinator at West Lake Terrace. She said she wholeheartedly welcomed the donation as she'd recently been following a discussion among activity coordinators at long-term care homes about the hand muffs. Denard had read stories about their use in the United Kingdom. "I was really surprised how many homes are using these. It's wonderful," she said. Denard said she believed
about 10-15 residents at West Lake Terrace could benefit from the hand muffs and said she was eager to see how residents would respond to the first six. Beyond that, she's also looking at getting residents involved. An avid knitter at the home has started making hand muffs herself. Denard said those who are able to knit may help with the project, while other residents with less ability to function could take part in different ways, like bringing buttons to the knitters. "It may come full circle," she said. Lester indicated she's already talked with Kentwood Park officials about the donation of hand muffs and she hopes to speak with officials at all county long-term care homes in the coming weeks. Picton resident Tabitha Kay, one of the first Canadians to be named a Purple Angel for her commitment to raising awareness about dementia was pleased to hear of the local effort. “It’s wonderful that they are making some,” she said. Kay described the muffs as a therapeutic recreation tool to help people who fidget, but added the muffs have also helped serve as a reminder to people who may disrobe in inappropriate places that they should keep their clothes on. She said there are also groups making variations of the muffs, including aprons with zippers and buttons that have the same effect to keep hands busy and calm the mind.

Citizens concerned about Picton Terminals operations tab well-known environmental lawyer to present their views during zoning process
Newly formed Save Picton Bay group hires Gillespie to represent its interests JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER
Concerned citizenry on both sides of Picton Bay have turned their hopes to the man who, thus far, has argued successfully to halt industrial wind turbines on Prince Edward County’s south shore. Toronto-based environmental lawyer Eric Gillespie confirmed in a press release issued last week he would be representing the Save Picton Bay group going forward. The group, made up of about 100 residents that reside around the bay and the Picton area, formed late last month just before the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) made a series of work orders to Picton Terminals in light of instances of ground and water contamination in the past 18 months. Save Picton Bay state they are concerned about further expansion at Picton Terminals which might jeopardize Picton's drinking water supply. The main issues at the industrial port operation have been sodium chloride infused stormwater that has ran off the site, over adjacent properties and into Picton Bay as well as more recently, fugitive dust emissions from a pile of petroleum coke that settled on a nearby home. Over a dozen work orders were levied against Picton
ERIC GILLESPIE
Terminals after the ongoing observation and investigation by provincial officer Shannon Kelly. Last week, Picton Terminals owner Ben Doornekamp assured the Gazette that the rigorous orders which include mitigation strategies, consultants, and monitoring of any materials on the site have been or will be met prior to the MOECC deadlines. Kelly was direct in her assessment that the contamination, which was first brought to light in the pages of the Gazette just over a year ago, could continue without any appropriate steps being taken. “I am of the opinion that it is reasonable to believe that the extent of contamination on and off the site has not been fully delineated and that in the absence of an appropriate remedial and/or monitoring
program, off-site contamination may be occurring and may continue to occur and migrate off the Site and onto adjacent properties where adverse effects related to soil, groundwater and surface water impacts may occur or have already occurred,” Kelly said. Kelly added the MOECC has experienced a slow and incomplete response to requests for the dust plan, interim actions plan and monitoring plan. “Stockpiles have not been covered in agreed to time frames and off-site adverse effects are documented,” said Kelly in her report and order. “I reasonably believe Picton Terminals has contravened or is contravening those provisions of the EPA and OWRA as outlined in the contraventions section
n Cou e h T
or suspected violation(s)/ offences section of this report, and the requirements specified in this order are reasonable and necessary to address the identified contravention(s) and to prevent continuation of the offence.” Gillespie interpretation of the MOECC provincial officer's report and orders was clear. “The government has now concluded these people are polluters,” Gillespie said. It's expected the lawyer will represent the group at any municipal meeting regarding the rezoning of the Picton Terminals property. The business has filed a rezoning application to the County' s engineering, development and works department to revert the current zoning from quarry extraction use to port use.
The zoning was changed in 2006 for reasons that remain unclear. Picton Terminals did submit a stormwater mitigation strategy to the MOECC this
spring for approval but the process was deferred at the request of municipal officials who want the zoning issue cleared up prior to the commencement of any work.

BRUSH MULCHING
â&#x20AC;&#x153;If Woodrow was here, we would be in real trouble if we started ahead of time,' Kidnew said to a quiet chuckle from the crowd. In order to bridge the gap of time between time of commencement and the current time, officials recited John McCrea's â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Flanders Fields â&#x20AC;&#x153; and the Prayer to Saint Francis which is also known as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Peace prayer.â&#x20AC;? Kevin Gannon played the Last post and Reveille and Kidnew thanked those in attendance prior to the laying of wreaths in memoriam of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice in the name of free-
dom. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank you everyone for coming and remembering those that gave their lives for our freedom,â&#x20AC;? Kidnew said. The first wreath laid representing Canada was done so by Bay of Quinte MP Neil Ellis. In Wellington, where a biting wind came off Lake Ontario, a steady stream of youth falling out the steps of Wellington United Church to join the citizenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parade for a march down Main Street warmed the hearts of older patrons waiting patiently for the eleventh hour to come. Branch 160 Padre Joan Blackburn led the ceremony offering a prayer for the soldiers lost in all the conflicts

Canada had been involved in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As we respectfully stand here in front of this cenotaph, we ponder deeply the meaning of war,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So many wars, so many casualties, and so much pain.â&#x20AC;? In her prayer, Blackburn spoke about a generational shift in the veterans who remain to remember sacrifices on the battlefield. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In 2013, Veterans Affairs Canada estimated there were 91,400 Second World War veterans and 9,900 Korean War veterans,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many of these men and women are in their nineties. Our modern veterans number 594,300 with an average age of 56.â&#x20AC;? Both types of veterans were present at gates of the Wellington Park. Korean War vet Rocky Lunan again laid a wreath for his fallen comrades and offered a salute. Meanwhile, a contingent from CFB Trenton was on hand, including members of the base administration, Air Force personnel, and military police officers. Many had already experienced deployments abroad. In her remarks Blackburn asked for thanks for those who made sacrifices in the name of freedom. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We come to you with
humble thanks for being able to live in our peaceful country Canada,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our veterans made this possible with their many sacrifices of leaving home and country to fight for justice and peace. We also give thanks to their families who were supportive and carried on in this country to keep it running and to keep us on a level plane.â&#x20AC;? After the lowering of the flag and a moment of silence, a steady stream of community members came forward to place wreaths or crosses by the memorial. Nearly 50 tributes adorned the stone entrance and Blackburn said Branch 160 was inundated with requests for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s service. MPP Todd Smith and councillor Jim Dunlop were among the first to lay wreaths this year. After the colour guard marched away to end the ceremony, crowds gathered back at the Legion hall for refreshments and fellowship. For much of an hour, every seat was full in both the hall and the bar as patrons celebrated the freedoms and hard-fought victory won for them. One visitor, Lorain Sine, remarked that she thought this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ceremony was the best attended in Wellington in her memory.

Panthers clinch crown with clutch play under pressure Late heroics lift unbeaten seniors to first Bay of Quinte title since 1968 ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER
Calm execution under extreme pressure gave the PECI Senior Basketball Panthers the most important win of their unbeaten Bay of Quinte Conference season Friday — the last one required to claim the school's first league championship since 1968. The pressure came as the underdog St. Theresa Titans refused to go away quietly after allowing the Panthers a 60 lead off the tip before an impassioned, vocal crowd at Moira. The contest came down to one play and the Panthers were prepared when the time came to hold their 55-53 lead. Co-captain Vanessa Willis said poise under pressure paid off. "I think we stayed calm in a tough situation. It was a really intense feel in this gym. Fans were going crazy. We just kept our heads calm and made good passes when it really counted in the end. We executed better than we had in the past few games I thought. We made foul shots," We beat them by a lot more last time as well. I wasn't expecting (the Titans) to come out as hard as they did. They wanted it as badly as we did." The two teams went neckand-neck into the final minute of play before the Panthers could move ahead. Kylie Moyer would put the Panthers ahead by sinking two free throws with just over a minute to play. The Panthers thought they could breathe a bit more easily following the next possession, which was completed with a Casey Hegadorn lay-up but the scoring drive was nullified by a travelling call. The Titans looked as if they'd have plenty of time to put a scoring play together, but they also turned the ball over following a carrying call. The Panthers inbounded the ball from the sideline in front of their bench to Willis who allowed some time to come off the clock while wait-

ing for the inevitable contact from a fouling opponent. Inexplicably, the Titans allowed nearly 10 seconds to come off the clock before sending Willis to the freethrow line up a point with 5.9 seconds to play. "I just knew I had to hold it because they had to foul. That's always a scary feeling," Willis recalled. She held on tight and went on to make one of her two free throws to extend the Panthers' lead to two points. The Titans took a timeout to set a play off the inbound pass. The Panthers also discussed their strategy. The championship came down to one sequence. The inbound pass was short as it went to Titan Hannah Farrell just off the baseline. Veteran Panthers Kylie Moyer and Hailey Van Rossum closed in on Farrell, taking away her space at mid court. She passed into traffic in the corner and
the ball was knocked out of bounds by a Panther in the scrum with just 0.8 left on the clock. There was no shot before a stream of excited Panthers reacted to the final buzzer by jumping on the court and flooding their teammates. "We were hoping (to force) a five-second call," Van Rossum said. "Once it was in, we just wanted to contain as best as we could and not let them get through for a three." Coach Rob Garden was pleased with the execution on the play. "We didn't want to get beat long. We knew they had to inbound the ball and we wanted them to catch the ball as far away from their basket as we BREAKING OUT Panthers guard Hailey Van Rossum carries the ball up the court with teammates could," he said. "The message Casey Hegadorn (10) and Kylie Moyer (5) in support with St.Theresa Titans,from left,Alex Sagriff,Nishelle was pretty simple, don't foul and no shots.

Offensive struggles continue to plague Dukes in losses to Kingston, Buffalo Wellington must find ways to score more to keep pace with North East Conference leaders JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER
There's really nowhere for the Wellington Dukes to go from here other than up. At least that's the hope of their fans and coach and general manager Marty Abrams. The club’s offensive woes continued to plague them this weekend as they dropped a pair of games to clubs with worse records. On Thursday night in Kingston, Wellington (13-73) put forth its best 20 minutes of the year and built a 20 lead over the host Voyageurs. But then the Vees came back and kept coming back on the visitors en route to a 4-2 win. The next night in Wellington, the Buffalo Junior Sabres struck first to take a 1-0 lead early. The Dukes were afforded an extended five-on-three chance near the end of the first period and peppered Tucker Weppner in the visitors net ad nauseam but couldn't solve the starter. Wellington would score a pair in the early portion of the second stanza to take a brief lead but it was all Buffalo the rest of the way as the Junior Sabres skated off with a 5-2 win. And don't look now, but Wellington is going to be tasked with a gauntlet of gargantuan games, starting
tonight in Stouffville and the North Division-leading Spirit. Tomorrow night the club hosts Cobourg and then Whitby visits Sunday afternoon. If anyone is interested beyond that troika of tough tests, Trenton tests Wellington at Essroc Arena next Friday Abrams was still searching for answers as to what happened to the club Thursday night during the second intermission. Wellington's Nic Mucci had a pair of goals set up by Mitchell Mendonca in the second frame and the Dukes had a 34-14 edge in shots on net. “It was the best period of the year and then the wheels just fell off in the third. We didn't respond well to the push they came out with, we couldn’t keep up with them pace wise,” Abrams told the Gazette. Kingston would finally solve Connor Ryckman inside the two minute mark of the third and would tie the game at 2-2 at the halfway point. Rob Clerc scored the game winner at 11:36 and Josh Leblanc added an insurance goal with under three minutes to play as Kingston out shot Wellington 14-9 in the final stanza. The next evening, the Dukes hosted the Junior Sabres who were roughed up a night prior in Trenton
to the tune of 4-1. “We were confident going into the game because we've played well at home but it was more of the same. By our count, we had over 100 shots in the two games but we just don't bury our chances,” Abrams said. “Until we get more scoring from the lineup, either from inside or outside, we are going to struggle to win games.” Weppner was tested early and often in last half of the first and Wellington had plenty of scrambles, loose pucks and wide open looks but no Duke was able to beat the Williamsville, N.Y. native during a two man advantage that ate up the better part of five minutes. Had Wellington been able to cash in and escape the first period tied, they might have been able to alter the game story in their favour. “If we don't bury our chances, we lose momentum and end up chasing it and that's what happened. The extended 5-on-3 was a real turning point,” he added. Wellington's Colin Doyle would get his squad on the board early in the second when the Dukes' powerplay showed some signs of life. Justin Bean's blast at 12:46 gave Wellington their first lead of the contest but the margin would evaporate in less than two minutes as
the Junior Sabres scored to tie it at 2-2. Andrew Pizzo would bag the eventual game winner at 16:10 on the power play. A first-minute goal for the visitors by Michael Faliero provided a critical body blow for Buffalo and Wellington was effectively sunk after Aaron Reining's powerplay marker at 3:20. If Wellington's going to stay within shouting distance of the rulers of the North East Conference, they will need to start finding the back of the net with some regularity in the coming games and their offensive leadership will need to be evident. “It's a very critical part of our schedule and it's a monumental task playing these teams and we are not in a very good situation,” Abrams said. “We need to find our way out of it.”

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

Nov. 15, 1979 – Nov. 22, 2012 We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name, In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone. For part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide, And though we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again. All our love, Robert, Jeanne, Ethan, Hunter, Mike, Nicole and all your nieces and nephews.
And in my own three lovely girls I see A part of you forever lives through me.

November 18, 2013 Three years have passed since I lost the love of my life, soul mate, best friend and husband. I still lay at night with tears in my eyes wishing I could hear your voice one more time or hold you in my arms. The moment that you died My heart was torn in two, One side filled with heartache, The other died with you. I often lie awake at night When the world is fast asleep, And take a walk down memory lane, With tears upon my cheeks. Remembering you is easy, I do it every day, But missing you is a heartache that never goes away. I hold you tightly within my heart and there you will remain, Until the joyous day arrives that we will meet again. Love you forever, Colleen xo

SUTTON, Sandra Lynn 1955 - 2016
With such dignity and grace, Sandy began her next journey in life peacefully at home with myself and my family by her side, surrounded by so much love and prayers. Sandy bravely fought with such courage and strength a short battle with cancer. Sandy developed a strong work ethic at such a young age and carried this throughout both her professional and personal life....her passion during her years at Prince Edward Heights, supervisor of the Kinesology department and her over 25 years with WSIB. It was of the utmost importance to Sandy to ensure those under her care with both careers, were well looked after with such respect and passion in her heart.. Rounding out these qualities was Sandy's wonderful sense of humor and infectious laugh and her whistle throughout her office and our home!! As my partner in life of 28 years, my heart, the place I call home, Sandy inspired us all with her unconditional love and support...she taught us all how to be better people....she was one of the greatest teachers in life. Sandy leaves behind her furry kids who she adored and loved with all her heart and they her. We will all love her the rest of our days on this earth and miss her quick wit and her passion she held in her heart for those around her. There wasn't anything Sandy wouldn't tackle, fix and complete around our home. Sandy had a gift for music, often heard playing many songs on her piano and her accordion from when she was just a little girl, around our bon- fire during both the summer and winter months. She loved her old boat that she had repaired and brought up to the era from which it was made...we would set sail taking sunset cruises across the waters of West Lake and often docking at the Sandbanks dunes with picnic in hand....and perhaps a bottle of red wine!! Our many summers spent up at Otter Lake cottages with my family...it was always so good to get 'back home' when arriving at Sandy Beach Resort. My family was her family, how she loved each and everyone one of you...watching the nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews growing up around us, was always such happiness in Sandy's heart....the many family sleepovers, how we would all camp right here at Changing Winds and the laughter, the closeness, the love was always shared by everyone and
we hated when the weekends were over and the giggles and laughter would be gone until another family gathering. To my family, your love, your support, your compassion throughout this journey of Sandy's....we can't, I can't, thank you enough for always being there for both of us....she has left us all a life time of memories, memories I will cherish the rest of my days.....Thank you Sandy from the bottom of my heart for always being here for me, for your love, your laughter and your heart. Your life on this earth was far too short, but, in that time, you have spread such love from your heart. Your work family from WSIB, hold such high respect and passion in their hearts for you....you have all been so wonderful during this time, how proud she is of each and everyone of you....your friendship has always meant the world to Sandy....your gifts of love, support and food has been so overwhelming. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our many friends, and my family, who have been on this journey with us, your love, your visits, support, hugs and much food along the way will never go unnoticed, I can't thank you enough, it always meant the world to us. To the most kind, caring and compassionate nurses, Heather Campbell and Jennifer Hall...you were both such great Guardian Angels to both of us but, especially to Sandy. To Dr. Elizabeth Christie, you too, were an Angel brought to fight in Sandy's corner....never change your wonderful and caring hearts. I can't thank you enough for all you did during Sandy's last journey on this earth. Sandy was the loving partner of 28 years to Diane Langabeer. Sandy was predeceased by her parents Don and Betty Sutton and she leaves behind her sisters Rosemary (Allen), Sheila (Gord) and nieces Evan, Emily, Robert and Andrea....she loved you all very much. If you are ever lucky enough to come upon another human being with such kindness, love and compassion for those around them, then I can assure you, you have met Sandy. To Tod Lavender of Ainsworth Funeral home in Wellington, you have gone so above and beyond with everything for both Sandy and I...I can't thank you enough Tod. To Reverend Steve Spicer, you captured during Sandy's celebration of life, all that she was, all that she will be and continue to be...thank you so very much for your kind, spiritual and loving words. Thanks also to Steven Sprigings for the playing the bagpipes at the service, to those who have sent cards sent to Sandy and to our great neighbors. A Graveside Service was held on Saturday, November 5th, 2016 at the Wellington Cemetery. If desired, donations in Sandy's name, to Hospice Prince Edward County. Online donations and condolences at www.ainsworthfuneralhome.com "To touch the soul of another human being is to walk on holy ground"... 'Stephen R. Corey'....and Sandy has touched many hearts and souls but, especially mine.

League-leading Panthers make Pirates pay for trips to penalty box Unbeaten Port Hope captures back-to-back games against Picton CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER
CHASING Port Hope Panther Jordan Gardner avoids Pirate Nick Hoey during the first period of last Thursday’s 5–3 Picton loss. Hoey had a goal in the contest, but four Port Hope goals in the second period were the difference. The Pirates face Campbellford tonight at 7:30. (Chad Ibbotson/Gazette staff)
Penalties didn't help the Picton Pirates' cause in a couple of losses versus the Port Hope Panthers this week. The Pirates fell 5–3 to the Panthers last Thursday before being blown out 9–2 in Port Hope on Saturday evening. The losses bring the club to 79-1 through 17 games while the Panthers remain undefeated with a 16–0–0 record. “Port Hope is obviously 16-0 for a reason,” said Picton coach Chris Masterson. “They're an outstanding hockey team and they have guys who can turn it on and put pucks in the net when they need to.” Masterson said last week the team had to be better after a couple of disappointing efforts. He said it's difficult to gauge his team's performance this week as several players remain sidelined with injuries while others have sat out with suspensions. Dawson Ellis will sit out the next two and Mitchell Thompson will sit for five games with suspensions. “We've had so many guys in and out for the last week or
two, a couple of suspensions, a number of key injuries,” he said. “We're trying to make due with three lines, trying to cobble things together and it's been a challenge.” They didn't get the result on Thursday, but the Pirates did get on the board first. At 6:04 of the opening period Trey Maracle found a loose puck after a scrambled draw and buried it behind Panthers goaltender Charles Grimard. Port Hope held a zone time and shot advantage through the first, but the Picton lead held up into the second period. Just 2:05 into the second frame Nick Hoey scored to double the Picton advantage. Keegan Wayte assisted on the goal. Jordon Cannons followed with a goal at 6:53 making it 3–0 for the Pirates. Tye Eaton registered the assist. The goal spelled the end of Grimard's night as Sheldon Calbury entered the Panthers' goal. The change in net spurred on the Panthers, who took control of the game in the second half of the period. Blane Gaudon scored at 9:45 to start
the comeback and five minutes later Mike Smith cut the deficit to just a goal. With less than two minutes left in the period, Ellis was handed a major penalty for charging and a game misconduct. The infraction proved costly. Nathan Snoek and Brad Bollert scored powerplay goals in the final minute of the period and the Panthers took a 4–3 lead into the third. Gaudon scored the only goal of the final frame at the 15:18 mark as Port Hope shut down the Picton attack. The Pirates faced a more focused Port Hope team on Saturday. Six minutes into the first period Bollert put the Panthers in front, but four minutes later the Pirates were able to even the score with Devin Morrison completing a play from Ryan Fraser and Nick Kyte. The deadlock lasted into the second, despite the Panthers holding a 15–7 shot advantage through 20 minutes. From then on, it was all Port Hope.

Panthers hope to secure their first OFSAA berth on home court this evening CHAMPS, from page 26
"Having those experiences and having those close games and tournaments we played in this season have really helped us," Willis said. "They prepared us for this game â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even if we lost in tournaments in those close games, we now know how to keep our heads calm in these situations." Garden added: "Even a couple weeks ago, we played afraid of losing. Tonight, we didn't. We played to win." Co-captain Van Rossum
was beaming after accepting the championship trophy and she struggled to describe her emotions. "I'm just ecstatic. I don't even have words. I am so unbelievably happy," she said. "This is my fifth year playing. My first year, we lost every single game. We were 0-10. My fifth year, we're 12-0. I have three silver medals from Bay of Quinte finals. We have been practicing since the summer, sometimes twice a day. There was so much work put into this. This was our goal."
Joining her, Moyer said "It feels really good to work so hard and get this, to come this far. We've worked together a lot since the summer and we've been working really hard." In the back-and-forth of the game, examples of that work were evident as different players stepped forward at key moments. Before the Panthers were really hitting their shots, Moyer offered steady defence. She stayed in the game for all bout about a minute and she went six-for-eight from the free

thrown line while adding 14 points. Van Rossum had a knack for getting open and hitting long-range shots at crucial times in the game. She had five three-point shots on her way to a game-leading 22 points. She also set a tone battling for loose balls, including a jump ball late in the fourth quarter when she managed to tie up Titans star Alex Sagriff from the floor to prevent a breakout. "I said to her after the third quarter, 'I don't care what happens, the fight in you is impressive.' We knew it was in there and I was glad she brought it out when it mattered," Garden said. Then, there was Willis, who came back after missing a couple weeks of play with an ankle injury. She played sparingly, but made it count. After the Panthers hit a lull in the second quarter, she reeled off 10 points in that stanza alone to help her team get ahead by five by halftime. Willis also displayed her cool in the latter stages when her experience mattered. "We needed to make sure we could manager her minutes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; strong minutes and short minutes. She did exactly what she needed to do. With 15 points in limited minutes, that's the heart of a champion right there." While those three players chipped in all but six points â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Allison Hegadorn had five and Hannah Smith one, the Panthers received contributions from all 15 players on
the roster. Their depth often allowed the Panthers to stay fresher into the fourth quarter to build on their leads. Garden said the message is surely it's a team accomplishment. "We know we're strong and we have kids that can play. They're doing it their own way," he said. "These girls bought in. This is the fruits of their labour. That's our message for them tonight. They did this." Van Rossum said it will be tough for her to move on following the club's assent and the bonds that have been forged. "I can't imagine playing without them. On the court, off the court, we're just a big family. I couldn't imagine not having these girls in my life," she said. "We couldn't end the (league) season in a better way â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and we've still got Hawaii to look forward to and COSSA, possibly OFSAA." The Panthers will be able to approach those competitions with some confidence after capping the Bay of Quinte Conference crown. After beating Nicholson in the semi-final 35-28, Wednesday, Garden acknowledged the pressure and expectations were taking their toll as the Panthers approached the league final. The team needed a come-from-behind effort to advance after trailing at half. "They were nervous at practice, they were nervous before the game and they shot 17 for 26. I chalked that up to the nerves. They feel like there's a lot of pressure on them and they feel like every-
one is expecting them to win," he said. "It's been a battle for us mentally but we did enough to win and some games that's all that matters. All year, it's been somebody different stepping up." That night, Moyer shone throughout the game with a dominating 16-point effort. Smith provided a spark late in the game, chipping in six second-points and making some key steals. Garden said defence fuelled the late surge. "When we score, our defence gets much better. We get some positive energy. When we don't score, we get down and the defence kind of sags. When you get that energy, it translates at the other end." The coach said he's hopeful the two close playoff contests have proven to the Panthers themselves that they've become a better team as they approach COSSA. "We did more this season to get to (the final) than anybody. The girls just have to trust in the process, believe, and do what they have to do." The Panthers will host the COSSA 'AA' championship tournament today with a semifinal at 1:30 p.m. against the Kawartha second-seeded Cresstwood Mustangs The winner will advance to the final at 6 p.m. also at PECI. Should the Panthers win on their home court, they'd make more history by winning the school's first regional gold medal and advancing to OFSAA provincial competition in Belle River, just east of Windsor Nov. 24-26.

PICTON GAZETTE PECT’s Waiting for the Parade examines women’s sacrifice during times of war
With remembrance front of mind this time of year, the Prince Edward Community Theatre opens its ninth season Saturday with a reflection on war and sacrifice. Playwright John Murrell built his Waiting for the Parade on the stories of Canadian women during the Second World War. The stories of five different women helping the war effort on the home front are interwoven into a heroic, moving production through a series of vignettes depicting their experiences in Alberta while men in their lives were away at the front. Director Colleen Johnson says that despite the Second World War being finished for 70 years, the characters Murrell wrote will still resonate with audiences today. “Those ladies are still found today, 70 years after the war,” she said of the old wife, the young wife, the old mother, the young mother, and the “enemy.” “We still have the wives
and mothers and children sending their sons, husbands, and fathers to war, but the name has changed for the enemy,” she said. In the Second World War, some may have considered a German Canadian the enemy. Today, immigrants and refugees from Muslim countries have had to face the same kind of profiling and discrimination, she said. Johnson said she wanted to bring the award-winning play to Mt. Tabor because she has always had a strong connection to the military. After participating in Cadet programming and serving as a reserve, she once considered a military career. Later, she married a military man and was stationed in Goose Bay, NL during the first Gulf War. She said many wives and mothers waited for the call to hear their loved ones were being deployed and one weekend 30,000 Americans went through the base on their way to fight. She

also remembers seeing men returned in metal boxes. “At this time, there was no safety net for the families. “The attitude of the military was ‘If we wanted you to have a wife, we would have issued you one in Corwallis.,’” she recalled. “:It was at this time, I was asked to be on a board offering support to the families of those being deployed. This group is known as the Family Resource Centre and they now exist on every base in
Canada. A longtime veteran of local stages, Johnson was able to find a capable veteran cast for the performance with Cheryl Singer, Elizabeth Mulridge, Helen Wells, Micheline Cox, and Paulina McMahon set to walk the boards.

A cyclist riding his mountain bike on trails feel off his bicycle and slid down a steep embarkment, police say. At around noon Tuesday, a hiker saw the man’s abandoned bike and heard his cries for help. The hiker quickly called 911, which triggered a response from the Prince Edward OPP detachment, the County’s fire department, and EMS services. According to a police report, the injured man was in a difficult location to find but eventually responders located him and began the work to rescue him. OPP Const. Kim Guthrie reported “difficult
terrain further aggraveted rescue efforts.” Several hours after the emergency call, rescuers were able to lift the man up the 40metre incline using ropes, rescue baskets and a winch. Once he was safely atop the slope, the man was carried out of a wooded area to Clarke Road where an ambulance was waiting to take him to Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital. A 53-year-old Belleville man was treated for serious, but not life-threatening injuries.
Dalton Lawrence scored a power-play goal 1:51 into the second, while Bollert tallied his second of the contest at 6:36.

Cameron Lowery then made it 6–1 with his goal at 13:46. Tye Eaton's power-play marker at 19:21 brought the final score to 6–2, but it was over for the Pirates. While the team has preached discipline all season, Masterson said that point was driven home after the game. “The riot act was read and we’ll see how they respond.”
Gananoque Sunday at 7 p.m. Masterson said it's critical for the team to have a solid showing tonight against an improving Rebels squad. “It will be a challenge, particularly since we're short players, but the guys really have to step up,” he said. “We have to have those two points, there's no other way to look at it.”

Canoe auction to benefit Sonrise
As part of an annual class project, the Grade 12 custom woodworking class at Quinte Christian High School has built a 15’ Ranger canoe. The canoe is based on cedar strip boat construction and was built in-class under the leadership of teacher Paul French. This canoe has now been generously donated to Sonrise Christian Academy to auction off as a fundraiser for the ongoing work of the school and is currently on display at Prinzen Ford until tomorrow. The canoe is to be sold as a closed bid auction fundraiser and bidding stations include Prinzen Ford and Sonrise Christian Academy. Minimum bid is $2,500. The canoe is planked with
red cedar strips from B.C. and has four Basswood accent (white) strips. The gunwales (the long inner and outer frames that run the length of the canoe), decks, and seat frames are white ash. The outer stems (curved "C" shaped pieces) are white ash and black cherry, laminations, the inner stems are White Cedar laminations, and the yoke is black cherry. It is well suited for everything from an afternoon of family fun to a more serious trip in Algonquin Park. Please call the school office at 613-476-7883 for more information.
