Community gardens could be sprouting across urban parts of the county as early as this spring. Committee of the whole supported a motion at last Thursday's meeting in favour of a pilot project to establish community gardens on municipal land in urban centres like Wellington and Picton. The motion goes before council on Nov. 24. The pilot project would be volunteer driven and would be spearheaded by the Vital Signs Food Security Working Group including Hastings Prince Edward Public Health and the Master Gardeners of Ontario — an independent non-profit organization. Councillor Lenny Epstein supported the motion. “I just want to thank community development and their staff for this report,” he said. “I know behind the scenes there was a lot of consultation done with the community, with the Vital Signs group, with public health.” He said the community development department was persistent and brought

forward a great report. “I fully support it,” Epstein said. Councillor Gord Fox said he likes the idea, but wants to ensure it doesn't become a municipally-driven initiative. “I will support this motion, but what I don't want to see happen is that this becomes a municipal project,” he said Thursday. “It has to be definitely, totally operated by community volunteers.” The municipality's role would be to provide space within public lands and to support management through the Vital Signs Food Security Working Group. The municipality would also provide policies that support and encourage the development of community gardens to address food security. The community would assume full cost of operation including the construction of gardens, perimeter fencing, a storage shed, and rain barrels or a water holding tank. Community volunteers would be asked to take on an education role and to distribute a share of the food to address food security issues.

Lester receives more than 5,900 signatures in first two days of online petition in support of community engagement vehicle for ages 17-21

Picton youth calls on Trudeau to reinstate Katimavik program funding JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER

A Picton youth leader has started an internet petition to bring back a national volunteer work program. Katimavik is a national program that started in 1977 and focuses on educating youth and spurring onÂ lifelong civic engagement through community service. At its prime, Katimavik sent over 1,100 volunteers into Canadian communities but through federal budget cuts and restructuring, the

program has essentially been relegated to a shell of its former self in 2012. Currently, only certain, small segments of the population may apply to take part in the program. Former Katimavik youth Sami Lester said she was disappointed in the direction the organization had taken in recent years and decided in the spur-of-themoment to start a change.org petition addressed to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Canadian heritage minister Melanie

Joly, asking them to reinstate the program to the levels prior to funding cuts. In past years, the program would run in six- and nine-month lengths and was for youth aged 17 to 21. For a span of three months, approximately a dozen youth from one end of the country to the other would spend three months in a community volunteering with local non-profit organizations and assisting with community initiatives. Lester explained them program was invaluable in

the lives of rural and urban communities across Canada, not to mention the lives of those who participated in the program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Personally, it changed my life at a time when I needed to step back from life and reflect on where I was going. College/university was not helping me in that way,â&#x20AC;? Lester said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I needed different life experiences to help me decide my future and navigate relationships.Â Katimavik helped me, and other youth aged 17-21, develop independence, selfconfidence, people skills, conflict resolution experience, emotional intelligence, positive attitudes, travel skills and much more.â&#x20AC;? After just two days, Lester's petition had garnered over 5,900 signatures, surprising even her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was blown away with the instant support I received,â&#x20AC;? said Lester who completed programs in Vancouver, B.C., Crow's Nest Pass, Alta. and Rockland, Ont.. Trudeau was a member of the Katimavik Board of Directors and told the CBC in 2012 that it was his position the program was gutted for â&#x20AC;&#x153;idealogical reasonsâ&#x20AC;? and Lester finds hope that the newly minted PM will find a way to resurrect it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The best thing about Katimavik is that its benefits multiply over time.

Attendance at parade and dance appears to double each year CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

A significant crowd marched from Benson Park to the Crystal Palace during the Firelight Lantern Festival this weekend. Organizers Krista Dalby and The Department of Illumination presented the third annual festival on Saturday evening. “We were really happy with it,” said Dalby. “It's hard to really estimate how many people were there, I would guess maybe 250.” Dalby said the festival seems to be doubling in attendance each year. With the parade, light installations, shadow puppetry, kids activities and music from The Shuffle Demons, there was plenty to experience. Again residents seemed to embrace the concept with many donning lighted clothes and costumes. “There was tons of things people had made at home that we hadn't seen before they showed up — at lot of great costumes people had come up with and wearable lanterns and light-up clothing,” she said. “It was really wonderful to see how people had taken this idea and run with it.” Playing throughout the march to the Crystal Palace, high-energy jazz/funk band The Shuffle Demons seemed

out the county where residents can learn to build their own unique lanterns. This year more than 120 people took part in 10 workshops.

to be a hit with the crowd. Dalby said the band has a great mix of theatricality to go along with their music. “They were in the parade with us which gave the parade a lot of life as well and they're just such a fun band,” she said. “A lot of people here wouldn't get a chance to see a band like that very often coming through the county, so it's a pretty unique experience for a lot of people.” One new and prominent

part of this year's festival were two huge lanterns in the shape of a rabbit and a turtle. Dalby said it was something organizers hadn't done before. “It was myself and three other artists. We got together once a week for six weeks to work on those as well as a big deer head that was above the stage,” she said. “Getting together in groups allows us to build these larger-scale elements that really contribute to the spectacle of the parade so

we were really happy from an artistic standpoint.” Dalby said much of the festival's success wouldn't be possible without the effort of its volunteers. “We had just a ton of really amazing volunteers who really helped make it happen,” she said. “We encourage anyone who wants to get involved to get in touch with us, because

Parents can apply to receive some help with Christmas gifts JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER

In a perfect world, Susan Rose and her dedicated team of volunteers wouldn't need to get office space each November and December. They wouldn't need to gather information from struggling families whose Christmas holidays are in jeopardy. They wouldn't need to hang angels on a Christmas tree with the names of local children who might otherwise not have a merry Christmas. They wouldn't need to accept donations of toys, clothes and gifts and distribute them as best they can. But Prince Edward County, in spite all of its beauty and wealth, is far from a perfect world. The need is real. And that's why for over 30 years, Rose and her team have been the angels among us, helping to ensure every child in the county has a chance at a happy Christmas. As it does every year, the Angel Tree office officially opened Nov. 12 and it will again be located at Benson Hall thanks to the generosity of the local Kinsmen Club. Rose said that already, parents that have a tough time making ends meet during the other 11 months of the year have made contact and applied to be a part of the 2015 program. “The program is complete-

ly confidential and we get referrals from Ontario Works, local churches and schools and other community groups,” Rose explained The program operates through the governance of the Children's Foundation, a body associated with the Highland Shores Children's Aid Society. Through the angel tree program, Rose and her staff accept gifted toys and other items as well as monetary donations that are spent locally. This helps round out the various requests for gift packages but also allows staff to purchase food for holiday meals. “And we collect and buy snowsuits and that type of thing for the children who might not have anything to wear outside this winter,”

Rose added. Among the steady supporters of the program, PECI students annually select a number of angels off the angel tree, purchasing gifts for those who have been enrolled in the program. “These teens at this school blow me away and it's year after year. Last year they purchased a bike and had they have been here to see the dad and in tears, taking it home for his child, I know it really would have really struck a chord with all of them,” Rose said. The Angel Tree office will be open Monday to Friday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Over the next month.

After three years at the helm of the Prince Edward Family Health Team (PEFHT), Stephanie MacLaren has made a difficult decision to leave the organization to move closer to her family. In a news release, MacLaren said she has fond memories of her time working with the PEFHT and recently with Hospice. She has accepted a position with Haliburton Highland Health Services. “My time with the PEFHT has been the most memorable and professionally rewarding experience of my career,” she said. “It is rare to have the opportunity to work in an organization that is as forward thinking, innovative, and leaderful. I have enjoyed my time here immensely.” PEFHT president Dr. Helen Cluett said her organization was “very fortunate” to have had MacLaren’s leadership, adding MacLaren “leaves us well equipped to respond to the rapidly evolving demands on primary care. As sad as we are to see her go, we are grateful for her time with us and wish her all the best.” A hiring process to replace MacLaren is underway. -Staff

COMMENTARY Targets should take back seat to safe, smooth transition for refugees

FRIDAY’s series of co-ordinated attacks in Paris brought the threat of Islamic State-motivated attacks in Western countries to the forefront. As news channels showed the footage of the horrible, bloody carnage that took place, questions began to surface about how the perpetrators of the violence made their way to Europe. Inevitably, the discussion turned to the Syrian refugee crisis and Canada’s commitments to relocate 25,000 displaced people here by Jan. 1. That powder keg exploded this weekend with those on all sides weighing in on how the episodes in France either proved the point the dangers of the Islamic State require more stringent limitations on access to Canada, or conversely the attacks were an unrelated misfortune that fear-mongers or worse, bigots, were using to turn away innocents. It’s not simply a black-and-white issue, however and the absolutist positions on both sides aren’t helping matters. Canada has taken in refugees in the past, including a recent influx of 23,000 from Iraq, which neighbours Syria. It does have a duty to play a role with other leading nations in helping those who desire to escape persecution and war to start fresh and to bring skills they’ve learned in their own countries here. We’ve seen and heard the success stories and we’re encouraged to hear updates of the family relocated to the Prince Edward County with the support of generous sponsors who have made their transition to Canadian life possible. There does not appear to be any simple multi-nation solution to end the wars that plague Syria at the moment, either, so there must be some provision for people to be able to escape to a safer region. That provision also must be made in a timely fashion to avoid creating any more anti-Western sentiment. All that said, the Islamic State has repeatedly stated that sent people from Syria forward to other countries as refugees. Perhaps, it is the Trojan horse-style attack they warned about, or perhaps it is another work of propaganda put forward by an increasingly savvy organization with aims to promote chaos amid hatred and fear. News items from Europe where fellow refugees have fled camps

due to fear of mostly fighting-aged male radicals, or openly stated they believe a number of refugees are travelling on fraudulent documents do, however, evoke a need to pause and reflect on the safeguards in place. Our concern, echoed by Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall isn’t so much about the notion of bringing in refugees, but about the arbitrary target of 25,000 people to be relocated by Jan. 1. We question whether that schedule is adequate for agents to process all the claims fully and to carry out the relocation process. On Citizenship and Immigration Canada’s own web help centre, it says generally it can take up to 36 months to process a refugee application and, in rare, more complex cases, even longer. The same web site was stating that Canada’s goal was to have decision on all Syrian applications submitted by Sept. 19 by the end of December. While priorities may have shifted under this government, we wonder if Canada has capacity to complete full investigations with that much fast tracking, given the confusion over authorities in Syria. That screening process must ensure safety for both new refugees and existing residents. In this newspaper last week 8 Wing Trenton commander Col. Colin Keiver also questioned the logistics of the plan given that it took Canada half a year to bring 3,300 of its own troops back from Afghanistan. He also questioned the disruption that may be caused if people are located on military bases while waiting to find permanent residences. That senior officials like Wall and Keiver haven’t been briefed on the full details of Canada’s plan at this late stage is also worrisome. We’re not saying no to the idea of bringing in Syrian refugees, nor are we objecting to taking more than other countries. We are saying, however, that our government officials have a duty to take the time to co-ordinate and communicate a thorough plan for the smoothest possible transition regardless of times or dates — one that does not overtax military, security, and civilian resources. If that can happen in a timely fashion, great. If not, we can wait. The right solution does not have to be the product of an all-or-none equation.

Stories From Our Past 1925

n The Gazette criticized Picton council for not investing money to create a museum here. It argued the existing Earle collection would have been a great nucleus for the exhibits, but it was sold to a collector outside of the county when the museum bid failed. n Some 75 county veterans enjoyed a banquet at the St. Mary Magdalene parish hall. Judge Evan McLean was the toastmaster for the evening and it was reported he kept the banquet moving with his good humour. n The Supreme Court of Ontario was planning to hold its proceedings at the Picton courthouse Dec. 7. No details were shared about the docket.

1935

n Nursing Sister Mary Hubbs was reunited with veterans at Royal Canadian Legion Branch 78’s Remembrance Day events. Hubbs had been decorated by King George V for her efforts in hospitals in England and France during the First World War. One of those hospitals was bombed for 12 days straight. n Frank A. Whittall presented a new time clock to the Wellington arena to help settle hockey disputes. The face of the clock was seven feet in diameter. It hung on the west wall. n Inspector R.W. Anglin gave Picton Collegiate’s new principal and staff a positive grade upon his first visit.

1955

n The Picton Kinsmen Club pledged $3,000 to build a modern community hall at one end of the new Agricultural and Recreation Centre at the Picton Fairgrounds. The building was to become the town’s arena. n Picton war hero Leon Branscombe, 33, was declared missing and likely drowned in the waters of Manitoulin Island. Branscombe had been working with the province’s lands and forestry department. His parents travelled north to help search for him. n A farmer’s forum in Demorestville discussed farm fires. In the past year, there were four farm fires within 10 miles of the meeting location.

1975

n Seven of Picton’s nine postal workers were back on the job after participating in strike action. The postal workers stated, however, they would not process mail coming into or going out of Prince Edward County as national postal workers were still in a legal strike position. n A Picton man and a Bloomfield man narrowly escaped injury after their car became stuck on a railway track in Napanee. It was struck by a passenger train, which derailed. None of the 210 people on the train were injured. n The OPP expressed its concern that 18 people had died in motor vehicle accidents on county roads since May.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Council’s decision-making process on reform lacks good judgment

Like many people, I was very optimistic that the new faces on council would make a difference. Unfortunately, the activity at Shire Hall is just as it has always been – self-serving and lacking in good judgment. Last Tuesday’s council meeting held to discuss the size of council issue proves this beyond any doubt. Newly elected councillors Steve Ferguson, Treat Hull, Lenny Epstein, Gord Fox (no relation) and Brad Nieman were totally disappointing in their decision making and did not live up to their promises of a better municipal government through a smaller council. They instead chose to protect their positions and ignore the public’s input. The audience witnessed councillor after councillor asking the clerk to read the motion they were to vote on,

and to explain what the motion meant (these motions were ones the same council had put forward just the week before). Councillors from Ameliasburgh then made accusations of “trickery” being involved with these motions, without ever explaining what they meant. Unfortunately such accusations got the desired response, and cast a shadow of distrust across the entire meeting. The audience then watched the motions fail, one by one. As a member of the audience, I found the process mind-numbing, disturbing and ridiculous. It was accomplishing nothing other than receiving snickers and laughter from those in attendance. It was a farce. What was equally unbelievable were the admissions

by several councillors that the issue had never been discussed between them. Some even admitted they hadn’t read any of the submissions for electoral and ward boundary plans submitted by the public at council’s request. In other words, they hadn’t done their homework and were flying in the dark! The passing of the “nineward electoral plan” proves my point. On “council’s approved public survey”, this was the last choice that the public supported for change. This choice made by council does not meet their own criteria, nor has staff had any opportunity to write their final report on it – something council agreed would happen before any final decision was made. This so-called “compromise”, put forward by councillor Forrester, broke

all the rules council agreed to and ignored all public input yet the majority of council supported it! The real losers here are the public, particularly the residents of Sophiasburgh and Bloomfield. Sophiasburgh loses one councillor, Bloomfield loses their only councillor, while the rest of the County remains safe… but only for now. Because the “nine-ward plan” does not meet any of the criteria set out by council, nor does it allow for equal representation across the county, Mayor Robert Quaiff is correct in saying that it will be challenged at the OMB. Due to the recent history (2008) the OMB has had with this issue, council’s decision to support the “nine-ward plan” has left the door wide open for the province to take control of

the situation and make the decision for us — just as they did in 1998 when the County was amalgamated. Our council has had every chance to make a “home grown” decision that could work for us, but they have failed us by potentially placing the decision on how we are governed into the hands of Queen’s Park. Not every member of council is guilty, but unfortunately, it is true that as decision-makers for the people of the county, this council really does stink! Contact your councillor and urge them to get back to the table and make an informed decision on behalf of the residents of the county – before it really is too late! Dennis Fox Northport

Mummers’ The Uphill Revival hits Mt. Tabor stage Saturday

NOVEMBER 19, 2015 7

Major Dean Locke and Prince Edward County Mayor Robert Quaiff kicked off the Picton chapter of the Salvation Army’s annual kettle campaign on Friday. In 2014, a total of six kettles and volunteers raised over $41,000 for local needs. Those wishing to volunteer in 2015 are urged to call the church at 613-476-3159. (Jason Parks/Gazette staff)

The Marysburgh Mummers say their latest offering, The Uphill Revival by Rex Deverell is a funny and touching play about smalltown life. Director Brian Conway says the comedic story tells how suspected UFO sightings bring fame and crooks to the village of Uphill. Among the crooks is con man Richard Lord (Sid Wells) who tries to convince the locals he can bring the aliens to earth. His major target is dentist Sam Morley (John McDonald) whose aspiring

wife DeeDee (Paulina McMahon) tries to organize the lives of the townspeople, including high-strung, sensitive daughter Amelia (McDonald’s real-life daughter Isobel McDonald). Jacob Dey, Ed VanBruinissen, Lydia VanBruinissen, Matt VanBruinissen and Leah Snyder also star. Al Hazell is the stage manager. Curtain call is at 7:30 Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday. Three more productions are scheduled next weekend. Tickets are $10. -Staff

New web sites, logos help to freshen branding for public library and archives

A new web site has been developed for the County of Prince Edward Archives, and a new one will soon be launched as well for the County of Prince Edward Public Library. “The Archives needed its own web site to continue to properly serve the community,” says County of Prince Edward Public Library and Archives chief executive officer Barbara Sweet. “Prior to the new web site launch, the archives shared space on the library’s site making it difficult for those searching specifically for an Archives presence online.” With regards to the library site, Sweet explained “we have had the same web site for a number of years now, so it was time to update the look. More importantly, we wanted to streamline costs and make the site more use-

ful in terms of current technology.” Aaron Nash, who came to work at the library through a Community Access Program grant, created both new web

sites. “It was late summer when I began developing the Library and the Archives websites. Both were great projects,” says Nash. The archives web site is now live at: pecarchives.org. It allows visitors online access to many of the services the archives offers. “Meanwhile, looking at the library’s current web site, we knew that change was needed,” says Sweet. The web site is heavily used and traffic is on the increase as people have become accustomed to managing their library accounts from their computers and mobile devices. The recent introduction of Hoopla digital downloads to the library site has made online access to e-books, audiobooks, music, and movies even more popular. This increased use and the

time elapsed since the last improvements made to the site necessitated an upgrade of both the functionality of the website and its look. When the new site launches, visitors will notice a new library logo I designed as part of the modernized appearance. I also created the logo that’s currently in use quite a number of years ago, so I was pleased with the opportunity to make something new and fresh. My goal was to design something simple and clean that would complement the site and also adapt itself to mobile devices. In development, Nash also incorporated simple and clear design, focusing on making the site easy to use and welcoming. Noteworthy among many new features are how mobile friendly the

site is, the accessibility toolbar, the option to subscribe to the events calendar, and Facebook feeds. “The fluid designs are optimized for all devices, from desktops to smartphones,” says Nash. “How exciting to finally introduce them!" The launch is scheduled to happen within the next couple of weeks. A seamless transition is expected so that service to library users will not be interrupted. The website address remains the same at: peclibrary.org. The new web site is part of the ongoing efforts to continue to deliver excellence in library service to the community. Feedback is always welcome either online Sweet at bsweet@peclibrary.org or by speaking to staff at any of the library’s six branches.

EYE Program gives young entrepreneurs skills to create successful businesses PELA CFDC partnership helps 32 participants get start in two years ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

The tried-and-true path to career success isn't as well worn as it once was. Recognizing this, the Prince Edward-Lennox and Addington Community Future Development Corporation (PELA CFDC) rallied its partners to offer a bit of

direction for youth 18-29 to blaze their own path. For the past two years, PELA CFDC has been offering its Empowering Young Entrepreneurs (EYE) Program using funding from the province's economic development ministry and pulling expertise from leading entrepreneurs in the

communities it serves and beyond. Each intake for the program gave students one day of intense classroom training for 10 weeks. It also gave them access to mentorship, loan and grant programs, and a peer network they could rely on. At a celebration event at Huff Estates Monday, PELA CFDC executive director Craig Desjardins said the program has helped in the creation of 32 full- and part-time businesses that are making money and helping the economy of Prince Edward and Lennox and Addington grow and prosper. "There's a lot of debate about whether you can teach entrepreneurship. There are those who say that you can't teach it, it has to be engrained," he said. "I'm a firm believer that you can teach the mechanics and process, but you can't teach the passion. What we've tried to focus on is very practical training for entrepreneurs — the trick was to find young people with passion and boy have we found young people with passion!" Desjardins said the program has attracted an incredible range of diversity, from traditional agriculture

COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION Destination Marketing Subcommittee The Community and Economic Development Commission of The Corporation of the County of Prince Edward is seeking community minded individuals with marketing or related experience to sit on an Ad Hoc Destination Marketing Subcommittee.

to the high-tech sector. It has included artists, social media experts, people looking to provide services for a growing senior population, and even bakers. He said while the program has produced financial successes both locally and internationally, some of the best stories over the past two years have been in personal development and lifechanging skills, even something as simple as learning

how to speak to the public. Wellington's Hilary Foster took part in the second EYE class. At the time, she was 29 and she just got her application in under the wire. She said the skills she learned helped her find her path as a life coach for young women. "The reason why we're here is because somebody had a belief in the people who lived in this community and wanted to provide an

opportunity for those people to create something. I can say wholeheartedly there is so much potential to be had," she said. Foster indicated in her day-to-day business, she talks with women who are wanting to do things they're passionate about but they can't seem to find their way clear to realizing their dreams.

Crowds steady at Christmas Craft Sale Annual event sees 450 shoppers through doors in its 24th year CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

Shoppers flocked to the Prince Edward Community Centre this weekend for the annual Christmas Craft Sale. With 32 vendors selling everything from preserves to winter wear, there was plenty to see again at the 24th annual sale. For the past 10 years the two-day event has been organized by Peggy Gorsline. She said crowds were steady and estimated about 450 people had come through the door on Saturday alone.

Gorsline said she was pleased with the turnout. “It's gone really well,” she said. “This morning people were here before we opened. Doors opened at 9:30 and there were people waiting at 9 a.m.” Gorsline said all 32 vendors had something special to offer. “The stuff is really topnotch,” she said. Vendor Sherry Newcombe of Greenpoint Scarves said Saturday it was her second year selling at the Christmas Craft Sale. “There's been a steady stream of people through so

it's been a good day,” she said. “It was very steady through the morning — very steady.” The Prince Edward County resident makes scarves, hats, and all sorts of knitted items. She said aside from sales, the show has a quality of togetherness and Christmas spirit that she enjoys. “It's the people, the camaraderie with the other vendors,” she said. “There's a real feeling of a group.” Gorsline said she'd like the sale to go at least one more year to reach the 25th anniversary.

County seeks input from local developers on its approvals process CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

The County is hoping to streamline its development approvals process and is looking to tap the experience of local developers to do it. In a press release issued by the municipality on Nov. 12, Mayor Robert Quaiff reached out to local developers to ask for their input. Working with the newly established development services group and the community development department, Quaiff will host a developers forum on Wednesday, Nov. 25 from 6 p.m. to 8

p.m. at the Wellington and District Community Centre. “We know there is room for improvement in our current development policies and procedures,” Quaiff says in the release. “This forum is the second step we are taking towards achieving council’s priority of improving this important service delivery area.” Quaiff says the County's increasing national and international profile will play a key role. “Leveraging the County’s growing profile to promote development is instrumental

to our long term financial sustainability,” he says. “We have to be ready for the increasing demand and make the County a development-friendly place.” The goal of the forum is to give contractors, developers, and consultants a chance to share their opinions on how development processes, policies and customer service in the municipality can be run more efficiently. The County's community and economic development commission identified improvements to the development approvals process as a

priority for 2015-2016. The release says the hiring of director of development services Peter Moyer and the establishment of the development services group earlier this year was the first step in the process. That brought together planning, building, and engineering staff with the intent of streamlining processes and facilitating an improved flow of information to developers. Moyer says development isn't just a technical exercise. “It requires a high level of customer service and communication to be successful,” he

says. “I am eager to open a dialogue with local developers so that we can implement appropriate and meaningful improvements to our processes.” Municipal staff will also attend the structured forum to oversee group discussions, gather feedback, and present information. A report will be prepared early in the new year which will summarize the feedback collected. The release says this will aid staff's review of the development approvals process going forward. Community development

director Neil Carbone says in the release the forum is an important step for the municipality. “Improving development policies and procedures is essential if we are going to be proactive about attracting new development,” Carbone says. “Development ultimately supports expansion of the local economy, including the creation of jobs, much needed housing and services.” For more information or to register to attend the forum, contact community development co-ordinator Todd Davis at 613-476-2148 ext. 256.

County might embark on a new policy surrounding urban forestry Councillors express concern about adding to staff workload CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

An updated urban tree policy could be on its way to Prince Edward County. Councillors voted at last Thursday's committee-of-thewhole meeting in favour of a motion which directs staff to provide options for tree policies that align with the municipality's secondary plans and best management practices as laid out by the Canadian Urban Forest Network. The motion will still have to be approved by council at their Nov. 24 meeting. The policy would be geared toward the urban areas of Wellington, Bloomfield, Picton, and Rossmore. The motion was tabled by councillor Lenny Epstein, who said the municipality's tree removal and planting policies need refreshing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our current policy around trees is not up to date enough and it does not align with current best practices for urban forestry,â&#x20AC;? he said. He said everyone has a innate sense of the importance of trees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trees are something that people have a relationship with in the sense that they're a

NEW POLICY? Committee of the whole voted last week in favour of a motion that will have staff investigate changes to the municipalityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policy around removing and replanting trees in the urban areas of Prince Edward County. (Chad Ibbotson/Gazette staff)

really integral part of our built environment as well as our natural environment,â&#x20AC;? he said. He said trees are a public asset that need to be protected. Epstein said there are a few basic tools every municipality should have in place to protect its trees. He said these include implementing best practices for urban forests, formulating a strategic plan for the management of urban forestry, implementing a tree policy, approving a tree-cutting bylaw, and creating a registry of heritage trees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Currently our policy relates specifically to road trees and I would like to see

ing in the budget to keep up with it. He said on average there are about 60 trees per year that need to be planted under the current policy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That amounts to around $36,000â&#x20AC;&#x201C;$40,000 where our current funding level is $2,000,â&#x20AC;? he said. McAuley said he's had experience in the past with broad tree policies. He said it is a significant undertaking and a report could take all of next year to compile. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a new level of service and business that would be embarked upon,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is not a small undertaking, it is

not an inexpensive undertaking, and it does have some private property restrictions that will likely attract some attention.â&#x20AC;? Epstein said he understood the magnitude of the policy and that there wouldn't be a quick turnaround for a report. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is something we've set out in our official plan that we need to get on with,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There's a lot of scaffolding already there and a lot of resources already there.â&#x20AC;? He said it's an important step for the municipality to take.

staff undertake this and help us build a comprehensive policy,â&#x20AC;? he said. Several councillors voiced concern with moving ahead with a report. Councillor Roy Pennell said he'd rather see the municipality proceed with an update of the current tree policy than create something completely new. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Quite frankly, I see a large list of commissioners jobs

they've got to do and that they have been working on,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I truly believe (we should) just go back, look at that policy and get a report on that at this point. You're looking into the new year before I would want to commit staff to even looking at it.â&#x20AC;? Councillor Barry Turpin agreed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just to review (the current policy) is fine as far as I'm concerned, but to go too extensively is awful lot of work and we ask for too many reports,â&#x20AC;? he said. Councillor Bill Roberts also voiced concern about a comprehensive review. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have put a lot on the plates of Shire Hall staff and we often give them a hard time when certain things aren't done on time,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To be adding this kind of report â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and it feels like a fairly exhaustive piece of work â&#x20AC;&#x201D; on top of that at this moment is unfair to them.â&#x20AC;? Engineering, development, and works commissioner Robert McAuley said the current policy covers tree planting and removal and is due to be updated. However, he said there is a lack of fund-

Announcement

GARDENS, from page 1

The community would also be responsible for any fundraising to support the construction of the gardens and to support their ongoing operation. The pilot will be evaluated based on community interest in terms of the number of gardeners, number of people participating in education sessions, the amount of food distributed, and the results of fundraising for sustainability. The report presented to the committee last weeks says community development staff met with representatives from Hastings Prince Edward Public Health to discuss the community gardens. The report says an extensive review was undertaken to examine information on community gardens on municipal lands. Information was gathered from the Halton Food Council, from the Loving Spoonful organization from

Kingston, and from the community gardens on municipal lands policy of the City of Peterborough. The information helped staff form a site selection criteria checklist with proximity to affordable and/or social housing identified as a key standard. Also identified as key is the need to locate community gardens in places where they can be a permanent fixture. The report says the municipality's current list of surplus lands doesn't include a suitable site as they are located away from populated areas. Proposed locations include Picton and Wellington within municipal parks and/or at municipal water treatment sites where there is a large amount of available land to create raised beds. If the pilot is approved by council, staff and a sub-committee of the food working group will investigate specific locations.

The Board of Directors and Staff wish to welcome Jeff Bedore, in the position of Manager of Policy Service Department.

Program facilitators believed in her and they shared important strategies about financing, about marketing, about avoiding fatigue, and about adaptability. One thing Foster learned is one must have confidence in their idea and faith they can make a difference in the world. The program helped her overcome fears that she

"There is that need and there is that hunger, but I think there is also a belief that because times have changed the standard of 'Follow this road map of A, B, C, and D and you will have a successful, rewarding life' isn't a guarantee any more," she said. Foster spoke about how her father went to school, got a good job and was really good at what he did, but come the economic crisis in recent years, his job was longer needed. She said entrepreneurship can help

overcome those concerns. "We live in a time when we have to be creative. That's why the entrepreneurial spirit has kind of reawakened a little bit. It's because we have to take it upon ourselves to make something of ourselves," she said. "Although that can be really scary, it's also an opportunity to really do what we love." Having not lived in an entrepreneurial family herself, Foster said she wasn't immersed in a culture where she could find the resources, knowledge, and know-how to

"Without the EYE program, I would not have gotten my start. I might have done it a long way down the line, but I can't say for sure. It planted the seed it was possible and provided a network and support group of people in my community that wanted to do it too and it showed me I don't have to do it alone."

proud of how far the participants have come since taking the courses. She said she believes in the program because it is introducing a new way of thinking and empowering youth. "We are seeing in our communities young people that are struggling to make decisions about careers because there has been this patter of you go to school, someone tells you what to do, and you're going to have this at the end," she said. "In that way of thinking, there is no exploratory process for young people to find out who they are. They find out later they don't fit with that traditional path. They want to create their own path and create their own things and be happy." Michael Mann, the executive director of Launch Lab, a provincially funded incubator agency providing guidance for technology based companies in Eastern Ontario had a chance to work with the EYE participants. He said the program provides an advantage for them that he wished he would have had when starting out as a young entrepreneur. "Boy, I wish I had that help when we started in our living room. We didn't have that help — no finance help, no mentoring, nothing. It just warms my heart to see what you've done with it. Think about 32 people working for themselves and all the employment and wealth they're going to create and to know they're working for themselves, not somebody else." The program and its participants have been receiving acclaim. Two participants received young entrepreneur awards this year, Picton's Rebecca Brown, of the Pink Lunch Pail, in the Quinte Business Achievement Awards, and Krista-Lee Karenina, of Napanee Design Studio in the Greater Napanee Business Awards. Newly elected HastingsLennox and Addington MP Mike Bossio has also taken notice. "This is so near and dear to my heart," Bossio said, noting he'd been a high-tech recruiter for the past 35 years. He said he believes creating networks of like-minded, energetic business people can help the region succeed in the global economy. "What excites me about this program is you're bringing people together so they can make connections. We need that so desperately today," he said. "More and more people are going to be striking out on their own. That's very intimidating. It's very overwhelming for a lot of people. When you have this program where they can sit down, start to receive that education, and see the experiences other individuals are going through in achieving their dreams, all of a sudden the intimidation factor is lessened." Several delegates at Monday's celebration commended Desjardins and his team for recognizing the need to deal with youth unemployment and underemployment in the region in a collaborative, positive way.

THE HARVEST IS IN! Join local winemakers for mulled wines, comfort foods and festive good cheer.

In Prince Edward County, after harvest we rush to bury the vines to withstand the cold winter. Once the job is done, it’s time to party and everyone is invited!

Ontario’s most unique wine celebration, Wassail pays tribute to the age old tradition of celebrating the harvest before the arrival of winter. Merrymakers would travel from house to house singing, feasting and, of course, quenching their thirst with local grog. During the last two weekends in November and the first weekend of December, this modern version of Wassail is a fun time to visit wineries and join in the festivities. Arrive singing a seasonal tune and be treated to free tastes of mulled wine, plus comfort foods and sweet treats!

Cross wine-lovers off your list with gifts of wine or winerelated items, or shop for unique, local and handmade crafts and other gifts.

BUS TOURS: Wassail bus tours on Saturdays (Nov 21, Nov 28 and Dec 5)

Enjoy the festivities without worrying about the driving. Bus tours run each Saturday during Wassail and depart at 1pm from Huff Estates, The Waring House, Wellington and Belleville. Tours visit 4-5 wineries and return back to the same location about 5:30pm. Tickets $25 – purchase online in advance. Details at princeedwardcountywine.ca.

Lavender farm, vinegar-producing partnership honoured with Premier’s Awards Program recognizes leading innovation in agri-food sector ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

Two Prince Edward County innovators were among nine in central eastern Ontario recognized last week with regional Premier's Awards for Agri-Food Innovation Excellence. Representatives from Prince Edward County Lavender and from the Canadian Vinegar Cellars at Black Prince Winery were in Baltimore to receive the $5,000 prize from Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Jeff Leal and Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi. The awards were created in 2006 as a way of encouraging producers to find creative ways to grow their businesses and foster innovation that can benefit the food production sector as a whole. "Ontario is known for its leading-edge agri-food sector that continue to grow and foster new innovation and ideas," said Leal in a release. "By investing in the success of people and a dynamic and innovative business climate, our government is helping drive the sector's growth and position Ontario for economic success both at home and abroad. The Hillier-based Prince Edward County Lavender earned its award for the incorporation of a new 600litre distribution system Derek Ryles designed to speed up the production of essential oils on the farm he owns with partner Rolande Leblanc. Leblanc explains the system has helped to add efficiencies that weren't possible using the 100-litre system the farm had in place before. "It has a bigger capacity. We used to have to do five batches and now we can do it in one batch. The economics of time and energy were

key in them choosing us, as was the convenience." To illustrate that point, Leblanc said the farm grows a number of plants for its essential oil business in addition to lavender. Peppermint, basil, oregano, lemon verbena are a few of the varieties. Lavender has taken priority over those other crops, so when it is harvested, the production of other essential

oils is delayed. Typically, Leblanc said the lavender crop used to take 16 days to process. It can now be completed in four days, allowing quicker turnaround for all crops. "We had a potential loss of essence," she said, explaining that the longer it takes before a plant is processes, less oil is available to be captured and distilled.

Another problem with the previous system, said Leblanc, was that the condenser required a laborious cleaning each time a different product was produced. The new condenser does not require the same time and energy to clean. Leblanc said the system Ryles designed is not industrial and it is equipment any farmer can source on their own without paying $60,000 to $80,000. That could inspire other operators in Ontario an most lavender farms in the province are smaller operations. Moving forward, Leblanc said she and Ryles will reinvest their prize money in their business and added they might be able to expand the number of plants they're growing. She said the award shows the farm is on the right track. "We work hard at trying to make a living at it and we're always trying to find more effective ways of doing things. When you receive

Wellington puts together road win against North Division leaders for perfect weekend

Dukes keep pace with wins over Toronto, Aurora JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER

Could it be? Could that familiar swagger be slowly seeping into the Wellington Dukes dressing room? There will be no definitive diagnosis prior to Christmas but all credit to the hockey club on another productive weekend in the Ontario Junior Hockey League. After getting past the Toronto Patriots in overtime at Essroc Arena Friday night, one might have assumed the Aurora Tigers in the comfy confines of the Aurora Community Centre the following evening would eventually prove to be too tall a task for the locals. To be sure, Wellington hasn't wavered too far from the .500 mark this season and Saturday's affair seemed destined to be one of those games where Wellington would wind up on the losing end. After all, the Cats had just added former Windsor Spitfire netminder Alex Fotinos to the roster and lead the North Division. But throw all those footnotes, projections and gut instincts out the window because the Dukes came to

play and took down the Tigers 3-1 to make it a four-point weekend. Wellington (13-10-1, 27 points) moves three games on the happy side of .500 for the first time this season and remain just a single point back of Cobourg for fifth place in the Northeastern Conference. Dukes coach and general manager Marty Abrams was pleased with the results of his squad over the weekend and the fact the club kept pace with several teams they are chasing in the Northeastern Conference. Friday's contest was closer than he would have liked but did give credit to the Pats who have been rebounding as of late. After a horrid start where they won just three of their first 18 games, Toronto only three games in their first 18, the Pats have points in three straight games. “I thought it was a pretty good road effort on their part but we were up and down in terms of our structure and that opened the door for them,” Abrams told the Gazette.

Panthers hold Bayside to five-point margin PECI seniors pleased with effort in first Bay of Quinte final ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

The PECI Panthers didn't strike gold in their first trip to the Bay of Quinte Conference senior basketball final, but they gave themselves a chance that appeared most improbable. After soundly defeating Centennial in the semifinal, the Panthers found themselves on the court at Loyalist College against a defending-champion Bayside Red Devils team Saturday that cruised through the league schedule with a perfect 9-0 mark, its closest game a 17point triumph. In their lone contest earlier this year, Nov. 3, the Devils pounded the Panthers 65-34. With those long odds, few could have predicted the Panthers would hang in the game and finish just five points back of their rivals with a 40-35 setback. The Devils never led by more than 10 and they actually allowed the Panthers to outscore them by four points in the final stanza. Though they had chances to get ahead, none of the Panthers hung their heads after the buzzer. Centre Kylie Moyer said the team was able to grasp what it had accomplished in the contest. "We lost to them by 30 points last time. To lose by five points is a huge improvement. We're happy with that and how hard we played," she said. "We were definitely more into the game and we were more prepared. We came out knowing what they were going to do." Coach Rob Garden, who a year ago scolded many of the players on his roster for just being happy to play at COSSA, agreed with Moyer's assessment that his team had offered everything it could. "We played well. I said to them I've won quite a few silver medals and you usually feel pretty disappointed, but even though we didn't win the game, I thought we won a lot of different areas," he said. "As a whole, we executed our game plan. We were right within reaching distance in

the fourth quarter. There's no need to hang our heads about this one." The Panthers set the tone with hard defence early on. Moyer grabbed two points off a turnover early and through four minutes of play, the potent Bayside offence had yet to score a point. Moreover, they were also causing the Devils to take fouls. By halftime, Devils coach Jen Tripp had to contend with four of her starters having three infractions against. That might have broken most teams, but it didn't crack Bayside's resolve. Two of those players, Tayler McCullough and Taylor Blair, kept their composure by staying in the game and mounting 10 and seven second-half -points

respectfully including baskets that came on at key times to squelch Panthers momentum. Those who came off the bench also contributed mistake-free basketball. Tripp said maintaining composure was a key. "I'm super proud of my girls for keeping their heads in the game and sticking through their foul trouble," she said. "They stayed strong and we pulled it out. Our bench isn't super deep but those girls who came off the bench did a good job." Garden agreed, noting "There's a reason why they're the defending COSSA champions. You don't do that if you have a short bench and you're not deep. They've got kids who can play and to our cred-

it, we have some young kids who stepped up in a Bay of Quinte final." According to Tripp, the Devils knew defensive effort would be the hallmark of the PECI game, but they saw some intensity that no team in the league had shown thus far. "They had strong defence off our inbounds and their defence was really intense, it was something we hadn't seen in our league before," she said. "Our guards did a great job adapting on the spot." The Panthers limited the Devils to just two three-point shots — normally one of the club's most deadly forms of attack — and forced them to make plays in the key.

Curling club volunteers share their love of sport with junior hopefuls CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

Prince Edward Curling Club volunteers are hoping to make curling a prominent sport with county youth. Three years ago organizer and former teacher Doug Bowser began a program to introduce county students to the game. Since then the youth program has seemed to catch on. The youth championship tournament last spring brought 16 teams and 64 players to PECC ice. On Tuesday about 24 students were on the sheet, honing their skills for another elementary bonspiel in February which is expected to feature 16 teams. Bowser said after retiring he wanted to create a program to give back to the community. He said a similar program was started in the past, but didn't continue. He said there was a real gap and a need for a program to help keep kids active through the winter months. “I contacted all the princi-

pals and all the principals and teachers were keen,” said Bowser. Since then county students, mostly through Grades 6–8, have had an opportunity to trek to the curling club for three different sessions for physical education “The first session we kind of teach them the skills and then in the second and third sessions they curl,” he said. The kids are also encouraged to head to the rink on Tuesday evenings for practice sessions at a cost of $2 per session. Participating teams also have opportunities to travel and face other student teams in tournaments. Last year, Bowser said four local teams went to the fourday provincial tournament in Gananoque which featured 64 teams from across the province. “A lot of them stayed over in hotels and they did really well and had a blast,” he said. He said the sport can teach kids about more than just competition. Bowser said curling is a

sport that really teaches kids about working as a team. He said teams have to get along and follow the call of the skip. “For one thing it brings self discipline,” he said. Additionally, Bowser said there's a real social aspect to the game that can't be ignored. “It's a real social thing, you sit down at the end of the game,” he said. You have to have good sportsmanship. If you make a foul on the ice the other team can't call it on you, you have

to call it on yourself. After the game — no matter who wins or loses — you always sit down afterwards for a half an hour and visit and socialize.” Bowser said curling is a lifelong sport, noting that many curling clubs have members who are still playing in their 80s. “It's something (students) can take with them the rest of their life,” he said. Volunteer and curling club member Jim Wilson echoed Bowser's comments.

“It's a great social thing to do and it gets them off the couch and away from their machines in the winter time.” Wilson will be taking over the curling team at PECI. The league features all secondary schools in the Hastings and Prince Edward board. “It's a great sport and it's good exercise,” he said. “People don't realize how strenuous it is.” Wilson said with the average age of curlers rising, it's important for the club to reach

Pirates push Gananoque to overtime and keep Napanee within a goal late, but lose pair New goalie Grimard shines Tuesday CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

The Picton Pirates continued to show some tenacity, but didn't get results again this week. The club fell to Gananoque 4–3 in overtime on Thursday following a spirited comeback. The team then went on to fall 4–2 to the Napanee Raiders on Tuesday evening. The Pirates began Thursday's contest on a positive note, forechecking hard and creating turnovers. Picton played fast and gave Gananoque's defence some trouble as they tried to exit their own zone. Five minutes into the opening frame, Will Harrison was able to shovel the puck under the arm of Islanders goalie Paul Mazzolin during a scramble in front. Zack Harris and Gerald Bilker notched assists on the play.

“I thought we played well,” said Picton coach Chris Masterson of Thursday's game. Picton continued to skate hard, but the Islanders made the most of an opportunity with Brody Cross deflecting a cross-crease pass over the blocker of Pirates goalie Brock Tufts. The Pirates out-shot their opponent 11–7 but went into

on the wrong end,” he said. On Tuesday it was Napanee getting the quick start. Matt Tedford scored 2:03 into the first to give the Raiders the 1–0 lead. The Pirates fired 10 shots on goal in the period, but were unable to even the score. Napanee's Chris Rogalsky was handed a roughing penalty early in the middle frame and it would prove costly. On the ensuing man advantage Tristan Nugent was able to find the back of the net behind goaltender Cameron Parr to even things up. Panetta and James Pero had the helpers. But it wasn't long before Napanee wrestled back the lead. At 4:32 of the second, Zach Knapp-Hermer beat new Picton goaltender Charles Grimard. Then, just 43 seconds later, Cullen Hinds made it 3–1. It would prove to be the game-winning goal. Trey Maracle was able to get Picton within a goal on the

strength a power-play marker with three seconds left on the clock. Pero collected his second assist of the game on the play. However, that was as close as the Pirates were able to come. Aidan McFarland scored with less than two minutes remaining in the third as the Raiders out-shot the Pirates 20–5 over the final 20 minutes. “Napanee is a bit of a powerhouse team,” said Masterson. “They got a couple of guys recently that have improved them even further and we knew we were in for a tough battle.” Masterson said Grimard — a 1997-born Quebec City native — stood on his head and kept the Pirates in the contest by making 45 saves. He said for now the team will carry three goaltenders and evaluate the goaltending situation week by week. The Pirates host Gananoque tonight at 7:30 in their lone game of the week.

the second period tied 1–1. The Islanders managed to pull ahead at the 7:29 mark of the second with Matt Carter scoring. Chris Boushy made it 3–1 for Gananoque at 13:44. Despite again out-shooting the Islanders, the Pirates entered the third down by two. “They had a couple of goals that were a little questionable for us and that was

the difference in the game,” said Masterson. It didn't take long for the Pirates to push back in the third. Bilker scored just 2:07 into the final frame to get Picton within a goal. Matthew Panetta and Harrison picked up assists on the play. Four minutes later Mitchell Merry evened the score with Nate Kellar notching an assist. The 3–3 deadlock would last the remainder of the period. Just 2:28 into the overtime Phil Smith fed Parker Grant who potted the game-winning goal for Gananoque. “They showed some resiliency in the third period coming back from down two goals,” said Masterson. He said it was the team's first experience with the threeon-three overtime format. Masterson said he believed the Pirates played as good or better than the Islanders, but couldn't get the win. “The boys were good structurally and it was a good, solid game, we just came out

NOTICE TO CREDITORS AND OTHERS In the Estate of BRUCE FAIRBAIRN CAMPBELL, deceased. Late of the Town of Picton in the Province of Ontario.

Roger Cory

November 18, 2013 Two 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

HELEN KNOX (November 13, 2015) Remarkable Helen will be dearly missed and very lovingly remembered by everyone at Publow House Retirement Home, where she enjoyed life, love and laughter for many years. Special thanks to Gerry for your kindness at the table, and Peggy for your goodnight hugs and kisses. HOLMBERG- In loving memory of Eric Warren Holmberg, October 25, 1963-November 18, 2009, a dear son, brother and uncle. Loving you is easy We do it every day Missing you is a heartache That never goes away. Sadly missed, forever loved, Mom, Bob, Doug, Judy, Nick and Brett. MILLER- in loving memory of our dear sister Margaret Miller, who passed away November 21, 2005. Those we love don’t go away They walk beside us everyday Unseen, unheard but always near Still loved, still missed and very dear. Sadly missed and always remembered by Marjorie and Bernice.

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 And in my own three lovely girls I see A part of you forever lives through me.

Lillian Emily Cole

(Née Byers) June 10th 1925-November 20th 2010 In loving memory, today and always. granddaughter Laurie , Allan, Brianna, Sarah & Delaney Burgess

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.

The Picton Gazette

Power play lifts Wellington to 3-1 road win with two unanswered tallies DUKES, from page 20

The Dukes drew first blood in the second period when Dylan Mascarin found Luc Brown flying in off the wing and Wellington's leading scorer ripped a wrist shot over the shoulder of Toronto starter Jacob Standen for a 1-0 score. After working hard to get a lead, Wellington gave that margin away rather easily later in the frame when some poor decisions on the blue line while the club was enjoying a fourminute power play sprung Connor Beck for a breakaway chance he put behind Anthony Popovich at 10:50. Wellington would regain the lead in the late going of the second when Brown fed Ben Sokay and the super sophomore blasted home his 15th of the season to make it 2-1. In the third Wellington and Toronto seemed to trade chances at will but it was just the visitors who took advantage as Jake Harris beat Popovich to eventually force overtime. In the first extra session,

Wellington's best player took over. Brown grabbed the puck off the boards in the Toronto zone, gained a step on a Pats defenceman and bull rushed to the net, driving home the game winner at the 2:41 mark. “We are fortunate to have Luc Brown on our team. He made a tremendous individual effort to score that goal,” Abrams said. “He's been very consistent and his line has been on fire lately.” Popovich was steady, stopping 27 Toronto volleys in picking up his first win since Oct. 25. With Aurora starting Fotinos on Saturday, Abrams went with his OHL-experienced netminder in Olivier Lefreniere. The Tigers would strike first with Austin Kearns picking up a power-play goal just over halfway into the opening frame. But Wellington responded quickly. After some sustained pressure and a furious forecheck, Austin Labelle took Colin

Doyle's rebound and shovelled the puck to the front of the net at the 14:09 mark. While the effort was hardly a thing of beauty as caromed in off something in front and evened the score, the work of freshmen trio of Labelle, Doyle and Boomhower typified the Wellington effort on the whole. “I thought it was one of our better efforts in terms of commitment to work ethic and structure and we were really good for 60 minutes. Our discipline was also very good,” Abrams added. Wellington put the gas pedal down in the second and made some hay off the powe play. At the 7:06 mark and off the rush, Tyler Burnie laid the puck on net and Chase St. Aubin was on the door step to deposit the rebound and stake Wellington to a 2-1 lead. In the last minute of the second, the power play struck again.Brown won an offensive zone draw to the left of Fotinos and Jacob Panetta slung the puck over the Justin Bean, who quickly ripped a

shot through the Aurora starter at 19:18. Panetta picked up his third assist of the night on the play. Lefreniere was spot on in the third, stopping all 13 Tiger shots that came his way and picked up his fifth win of the campaign. In a rare feat so far this season, Wellington won the spe-

cial teams battle, surrendering just the single powerplay tally while potting a pair while on the man advantage. “Going into the game, we knew our five-on-five play was going to have to be sound and that our special teams needed to come through and it did. Justin Bean and Jacob Panetta played tremendous

roles for us all night,” Abrams said. Wellington will try to make it four wins in a row on Friday when they host the Mississauga Chargers on Friday night.In a strange scheduling twist, the Dukes are back in Aurora on Saturday for their second and final visit to the ACC this season.

and matching up against the toughest Bayside defenders all night. Garden also had praise for point guard Hailey Van Rossum. "Hailey did an excellent job compared to the first time we played them. She controlled the tempo of our game," he said. "To Hailey's credit, that goes against her nature, but she was able to control herself and play really smart." In looking at the lineups each team played, Garden said experience was something Bayside was able to lean on as they started four Grade 12s and the Panthers just two. In a year, the tables could be turned as each player suited up for the crimson and white can return. "Every single one of those kids that played in that game could be back and everyone has committed to be back," he said. "We have potentially set ourselves up for success in the future, but we're not done and these girls are hungry to get that elusive OFSAA berth." That battle will be waged today as the Panthers will host a COSSA ‘AAA’ semifinal against the second-ranked

team from the Kawartha loop at 11 a.m. The winner play again in the final at 3 p.m. Both games are at PECI. "We're very excited," said Moyer Saturday. "We're going to practice hard and play hard." On Thursday, the Panthers won 33-20 at Centennial to secure a spot in the league final. The Panthers controlled play on the road for most of the game and the score could have been even more lopsided. During that contest, the shots weren't falling as they'd hoped. "We deserved a better fate than we were getting (in the first half), so we decided to stick with it," said Garden. "In the second half, we started to get a bit better luck. Still, I thought we shot a a pretty low percentage, but we hit them when it counted and that's all that matters." The Panthers also put forward a great defensive effort that game to limit a top team to 20 points. Willis led the Panthers with 10 pints, while Sierra Peck had the bulk of Centennials' points with 13.

The Ainsworth Funeral Home Atom AE Kings beat theÂ BrightonÂ BravesÂ in a home -and-home series this weekend, moving them to the top of the standings. The Kings had a slow start in Saturdays home game but Jordan Doxtator managed to open the scoring for the Kings, setup by CamÂ Osterhout. After the Braves moved tied it up and then moved ahead 2-1, Dante Closson was set up by Dakin Jones to tie the game 2-2. Looking like the teams would have to split to the two points, the Kings mounted a late charge in the final period. Jones spotted Closson in the dying moments and the Ameliasburgh sniper ripped home the winning goal with just 1.6 second left in regulation to lift his squad to a 3-2 win. On Sunday, the Kings prevailed over the Braves 5-3. Goals went to Doxtator (two), Carter Black, Nolan Brinco and Closson.

Bradford said the collaboration started with a happy mistake 10 years ago when he was testing barrels using some over oxidized wine. He said he the wine in oak barrels from France, the United States, and Canada and he was testing the differences in flavour in the barrels. When he was finished his tests, he went to pour out the first barrel out until he tasted the product. "I rolled the first barrel, poured it on the ground, tasted a bit on my hand, and rolled it back," he said. Bradford discovered each of the Pinot noir vinegars produced had a distinctly different flavour. Within a few months, he was trading barrels for vinegar mother â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an acetic acid culture â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and experimenting with production. Webb started working with him and using Webb's knowledge with the

It looks as though Picton Terminals may receive its requested noise bylaw exemption — at least on a trial basis. Committee of the whole approved a motion granting the 24-hour noise bylaw exemption of 70 decibels at the nearest point of reception for one year. Over that year Picton Terminals will be required to obtain empirical noise measurements and observations by a qualified noise specialist to determine actual noise levels achieved and the effectiveness of the port's proposed mitigation measures and impact to sensitive receptors and residents. The exemption will be reevaluated after one year at which time council will look at the measurements and decide whether to make the exemption permanent. The bylaw to authorize the one-year exemption will come before council on Nov. 24. Mayor Robert Quaiff supported the exemption, saying Prince Edward County depends too much on residential taxes because the industry base is too small. “I'd like to see Prince Edward County take an opportunity to work and show other potential people who want to come into Prince Edward County with industry or anything of that nature that they have a willing municipality that will sit down at the table with them,” he said. He said he has confidence residents and Picton Terminals can reach a solution. “We'll never know if we don't test it first,” he said. “We

need to find out how much noise is there and if it's acceptable and a year from now we'll be back and we'll determine whether that's going to happen or not.” Councillor Bill Roberts also supported the exemption. “I've been on two site tours now at Picton Terminals and I've been very impressed with the noise suppression initiatives and also impressed with the community outreach,” he said. “It's very worthy of our support.” A group of residents had come to councillors to request the municipality form a written formalized agreement of mitigation measures. Resident Larry Richardson spoke on their behalf. He said residents met with Picton Terminals officials to discuss their concerns and those talks seemed to be productive. Richardson said the Picton Terminals owners agreed to have a noise specialist monitor noise levels and agreed to have a noise monitor hard-wired into a router in one home across the bay from the port. He said Picton Terminals

also agreed to improve blasting warnings and to e-mail blasting schedules to concerned residents. However, Richardson said residents wanted further assurance these mitigation measure would be implemented. “They agreed to periodic meetings with resident representatives to discuss findings and we would also like to see county personnel involved in this review and ask council to authorize development of a binding formalized agreement in writing,” he said. He asked council to delay approving the exemption until such a contract could be developed. “We're not happy with the situation, having as much disturbance as we're getting,” he said. Engineering, development, and works commissioner Robert McAuley said a contract wouldn't be enforceable except through a court of law. “I don't know how enforceable it would be and I would think that we'd have no more or no less rights than any of the other landowners affected by that contract,” McAuley told councillors at the Nov. 12 committee meeting. “I would have to talk to legal, but my first inclination is it would serve no purpose for us to be in that because we would have the authority of the bylaw to act under.” He said if there were a contractual breach it would be difficult to prove the County had been harmed. Ultimately, the majority of councillors agreed to grant the trial exemption. The measure will still have to be approved by council on Nov. 24.

Downtown revitalization resident and customer origin survey process concluded data collection. “Without the enthusiasm and interest of the project volunteers, this project certainly would have been more difficult,” he said. “Their passion to improve and enhance their community makes it a true joy to be a part of this project.” The goal of the surveys was to gather information on local shopping patterns and trends including the frequency of visits to downtown centres, shopping habits inside and outside the downtown cores, suggestions for recreational activities or community events, and suggestions for businesses or services that would be a good addition.

CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

The municipality has taken a significant step in its downtown revitalization project. The County issued a press release on Monday indicating the resident and customer origin survey process has concluded. The release says more than 550 resident surveys and nearly 2,500 customer origin surveys were received throughout the duration of the public consultation. Downtown revitalization co-ordinator Tom Coke says in the release he's pleased with the outcome of the process and thanked volunteers who helped with the

also identified “trade areas” for each of the five communities involved — Picton, Bloomfield, Wellington, Consecon, and Rossmore. The trade areas identify the general catchment area of a business or region's customer base. “Knowing where your customers come from is essential for businesses to plan advertising and marketing efforts,” the release says. The survey data will also be used to inform the overall Downtown Revitalization Strategy for Prince Edward County and will be integrated into each of the five communities' individual strategic plans. The information will be forwarded to the Ontario Min-

istry of Agriculture Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) to be developed into a “trade area analysis report.” “Survey findings will help the community development department identify and attract ‘in demand’ businesses to the five centres,” the release says. The analysis of the data is

now underway and the next step of the project is to work with a landscape architect to create community designs for each downtown core. The drawings will help illustrate some of the survey findings and what each community could look like. The downtown revitaliza-

tion project is being led by the five downtowns through a volunteer-based steering committee and is co-ordinated by the County. The two-year project is being conducted in partnership with the municipality, the Prince Edward County Chamber of Tourism and Commerce and OMAFRA.
