Two businesses on Picton's Main Street have been recognized among the best in the Quinte Region this year by independent judges as part of the Quinte Business Achievement Awards. At a sold-out ceremony at the National Air Force Museum of Canada, Oct. 24, Books & Company was named the region's retail business of the year, while Zest Kitchen Shop was named its new business of the year. Prince Edward County Chamber of Tourism and Commerce general manager Mike McLeod, one

of the presenting partners, says it's a nod to the leadership shown by the businesses' proprietors and one that can help business. "It gives them a great profile," he said. "We don't have empirical evidence, but it helps everyone that's there. It gets people talking about the businesses and coming down to Picton. They say 'I didn't know that stuff was here,' and they're pleasantly surprised to find it." McLeod said the awards usually recognize innovative businesses who go above and beyond to serve the communities they serve.

Some candidates called it a potential boondoggle. Others were more dramatic and said it would mean the death of downtown Picton. Mayoral candidate Jeff Goddard was a contrarian on the matter of a potential Picton bypass that ran off Hwy 49, along the Millennium Trail an ending somewhere at Talbot Street (or perhaps at Hwy 33), indicating such a roadway would relieve Main Street congestion in the summer time. For the most part, the bypass was dismissed by Picton and Prince Edward County mayoral candidates at the Picton Business Improvement Association meet the candidates night at Books & Company last month as a pie-in-the-sky, never-going-to-happen measure that was added to some municipal infrastructure wish list and would never see the light of day, let alone be voted upon. But the Gazette has obtained some correspondence and planning designs that indicate the new Prince Edward County hospital, a residential and/or seniors housing complex and office space for the Prince Edward Family Health Team could be built on lands north of the current H.J. McFarland Home facility and that this project could lead to a bypass or collector route. According to the “option five” design approach from the age-in-place project currently underway at the HJ McFarland Home property, a large section at the north west end of the lot adjacent to the Millennium Trail could be set aside for medical,institutional, and commercial usage. While access to the rear of the property where the potential new hospital would be located could come off Hwy 49 utilizing the current H.J. McFarland Home entrance or creating a right away along property lines, a project of this scope could necessitate an alternate entrance to permit better and easier traffic flow.

Adopt-a-Child program provides winter clothing for 92 county children Program’s local numbers down considerably, while demand for new snowsuits, coats, and boots remains steady across Quinte region AdAm BrAmBurger Staff writer

Numbers for the OPP-supported Adopt-a-Child winter clothing campaign in Prince Edward County have plummeted this year in comparison with those from previous years. OPP community services officer Const. Anthony Mann said only 92 children in the county were signed up for the program, which delivers new snowsuits, coats, or boots to children 12 and under. They received their new clothing during a threeday distribution cycle last weekend. Last year, there were 167 children in the municipality who received clothing from the campaign. Mann said he hasn't been able to reach any hard conclusions based on the change. "I really don't, but I wish I did. It's got me wondering," he said. "I'm hopeful that

people are in a better position financially and they don't need the assistance this year." Mann said traditionally

the campaign, which benefits working families in need, has its distribution before other services like the Children's

Aid Angel Tree campaign, local food banks, and the Salvation Army register families for their Christmas aid, so it's hard to get a clear picture. "I'm going to be interested at the end of the season when we see those programs, to see where their numbers are — are they low or do they stay the same?" He also said statistics aren't kept on the ages and sizes of the youth from yearto-year, so it can be hard to forecast what the need is going to be each winter. Across the Quinte region, including Belleville, Quinte West, Stirling-Rawdon, Centre Hastings, Deseronto, and Tyendinaga Township, the overall number of children reached is close to 1,300, which is keeping with the number reached in past years. Mann indicated that registrations take place in September, then during the last two weeks of October, a team

of volunteers completes shopping and people from across the region fill the gymnasium at Belleville's police headquarters for two weeks of sorting and matching the clothing. "We literally take it over for two weeks and it's quite a production line," he said. During those final weeks, the organizers will do some of their shopping, though Mann said in some cases they've already bought items in spring as that's when winter wear typically goes on sale. He noted it's a pretty awesome experience to have a large group of people going through stores like Giant Tiger here in Picton, the Sears in Belleville, or Walmart in Quinte West. "People see us going through with the store staff helping us," he said. "We start talking to people about what the program is about — that's something else." In recent years, Mann said the Adopt-a-Child program has had to dip into its reserves in order to purchase all the clothing it needs. In some cases, he said, children also need adult-sized cloth-

ing and that often drives prices higher. He indicated that donations will be received at the detachment throughout the year, stating that even though 2014 distribution has taken place, there will be a need for funds in the spring to build up the stockpile of clothing for the following year. Mann said the program will take donations of snowsuits, coats, and boots, but they must be new with the tags still on them to be accepted. This year, Mann indicated the program had some help from a few major donors. The Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Auxiliary provided 236 knitted hats and mittens for distribution alongside the materials the youth registered for. Giant Tiger helped with the shopping and the Smuggler's Cove Campground also collected donations throughout the year. The Picton Kinettes also donated $435 in proceeds from a baked goods auction at their annual Loonie Auction last month as well as an additional $200 to Adopt-a-Child.

show. Four randomly selected volunteers received $50 to spend at the show, and one vendor was randomly drawn to receive $100 off of their booth fee. Cluett said the show was also very lucky in that more than half of the vendors donated prizes to be given away to unsuspecting shoppers throughout the weekend.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was really a huge success,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Ś That was a really, really fun part of the 10th anniversary, making people happy.â&#x20AC;? She said everyone who won was very excited and grateful, and it made for a very enjoyable weekend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was quite fun.

Helen McLachlan never misses The Maker's Hand. The county resident was one of hundreds who made it out to this year's show, which took place Friday to Sunday in Picton. McLachlan said she'll often visit the show more than once over its three-day duration. She points to the show's quality as the main attraction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's top of the line stuff,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like to see our own local artisans measuring up past some of the others.â&#x20AC;? McLachlan said she'll often head home with a local craft after visiting the show. The show, presented by the Prince Edward County Arts Council, celebrated it's 10th anniversary this weekend with a steady stream of craft enthusiasts rushing through the doors at the Prince Edward Community Centre. A total of 40 vendors, and hundreds of shoppers visited over the weekend, said The Maker's Hand organizing committee cochair Veronica Cluett. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was fabulous, there was a steady stream of traffic and the parking lot was constantly full,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were a lot of happy vendors as well as a lot of happy customers.â&#x20AC;? Cluett estimated about 1,800 people visited the show, although she said the numbers weren't finalized as of press time. With the show celebrating a decade this year, the organizers decided to give back to those who contribute to its success. Each day one patron was awarded $100 to spend at the

Sophiasburgh councillors-elect have plans to revive ward’s recreation committee Volunteer burn out led to disbanding of group, loss of County funding last term Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

Newly elected Sophiasburgh councillors Bill Roberts and Kevin Gale will be looking to re-establish the ward's recreation committee early in the next term of council. In conversation with the Gazette this week, Roberts and Gale said the recreation committee dissolved late in the last term. Roberts said he and Gale met Tuesday to discuss the issue and devise a solution. “We do hope to, we will, resurrect the recreation committee in Sophiasburgh,” said Roberts. “… We'll be discussing that further, but it is our intention to re-establish and revitalize that recreation committee.” In the past term the phrase

“volunteer fatigue” was discussed by council several times. With much of the same small volunteer base taking part in many projects, councillors often spoke of ways to get new people involved before that volunteer base became burnt out. Roberts believes that was the case with the recreation committee. “I think what happened was the same people had to shoulder the work and there just was not enough person power to evenly distribute what had to be done at the recreation committee,” he said. The resulting dissolution of the committee also meant the ward's per capita funding for recreation projects was forfeited. Roberts said the funding is about $7,500

annually for the ward. However, he said he doesn't expect it to be difficult to get the funding back into the budget once the committee is re-established. “Life is full of surprises, but it's not my expectation that it will be difficult to have that re-established — especially since the ward of Sophiasburgh has not been drawing down on that account in past years and other wards have,” he said. Following a discussion about the subject at last month's Sophiasburgh all-

candidates meeting, Roberts said a few people have already stepped forward, unsolicited, to say they would be interested in contributing if the recreation committee is reformed. He said he and Gale will continued to discuss ways to motivate residents to get involved. “One of the things I'd like to see hopefully twice a year is a kind of town hall meeting in the ward where issues like the recreation committee or important matters going on in the county are discussed

- Ron Hendrikx

with ratepayers and voters,” Roberts said. He said more communication, and solicitation of residents' ideas, could help them feel more involved in their community. Roberts said there's plenty a recreation committee could contribute to the ward. “For example, there's a lot that could be done with the Northport waterfront park area,” he said. “There's a lot that could be done with the Demorestville outdoor rink and recreation area. I don't think there's going to be an absence of ideas.” There will be a lot to deal with early in the next term. Firstly, Roberts said he'll be learning the municipal ropes at council training sessions. Then council will quickly move into budget deliberations and, following the budget process, on to tackle the council size issue. “In that process, particular to the ward, I'll be looking at the recreation committee,” said Roberts. Gale said it's important to get the recreation committee going again to provide some activities for Sophiasburgh residents.

“We got down to two or three people and they were kind of burnt out,” said Gale. Gale reiterated there were some residents who stepped forward during the campaign to say they'd join a committee if it were re-established. He said he expects to make some calls to people of various interests and try to get the committee up and running. “I'd like to see a committee that doesn't just do community events like bake sales and Easter egg hunts, but that actually takes advantage of our outdoor rink, somebody that's going to organize some adult or kids programs to make use of the (Sophiasburgh Central School) gym,” Gale said. He said he'd like 10 or 12 people who want to share the responsibility to develop some programs using the municipality's per capita funding. Gale encouraged anyone who is interested in volunteering on the committee to contact himself or Roberts. “I'd like to see us in December or January to get some people going and moving forward,” he said.

PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY

Looking back in the

Picton Gazette 90 years ago — 1924

n Picton town council discussed ways to help firefighters respond to emergency calls more quickly. They had discussed the costs to purchase a bumper for the fire truck, but instead ordered the clerk to take out newspaper advertising reminding all residents to make way for the truck on all occasions by ceding the right of way. n The Prince Edward Veterans’ Association was to follow the spirit of Poppy Day by having a tagging campaign throughout the day Nov. 8. The money raised through sales would help services for disabled and needy veterans. Local organizers expected members of the community would again give generously. n County residents would have a rare chance to see the Governor General in person as Lord Byng of Vimy wrote to the mayor of Belleville indicating that he and his wife would be visiting that city on Nov. 24 along with several high-ranking military officials. After an official presentation from the mayor, visitors would have a chance to meet Lord Byng.

70 years ago — 1944

n Group Captain Collingwood of the Royal Air Force (R.A.F.) presented a Canadian Ensign flag to the Picton Rotary Club on behalf of Flying Officer L.M. Lewis to signify appreciation for the kindness shown to visiting airmen while the R.A.F. was at Camp Picton. It was hoped the flag would be a reminder of their stay here and the relationships formed. n Rt. Rev. John Lyons, the Anglican Bishop of Ontario visited Picton and suggested that the Christian church provided the remedy for the ills of the world. He noted that fellowship and service could help the world rebuild after the war. n An honour roll was to be unveiled at Salmon Point United Church, highlighting the men of that community who had served Canada abroad in war efforts.

60 years ago — 1954

n At a meeting of the Prince Edward Lennox Progressive Conservatives, MP George Tustin delivered an address criticizing the federal Liberal government. Tustin charged its policies were leading to a loss of export markets, higher unemployment, and plummeting income for farmers. Tustin said extravagance and high taxes would ruin the country. n Dr. Robert Clapp was believed to have made history in veterinary medicine by saving the life of a Chesapeake Retreiver by administering a blood transfusion for the dog after it had swallowed poison. Three healthy dogs donated blood.

20 years ago — 1994

n More than $2,000 was raised in the first Prince Edward County Animal Welfare Society telethon. Some of the show was pretaped and some of it was live. Hosts included Joe Marth, Leslie Ingraham, Terry Sprague, Jerry Puttman, and Dave Mckay. A wide range of people provided entertainment including Don Cherry and Jeanette Arsenault. The money was to be used to support spaying and neutering. n Ameliasburgh Township received approval from the Canada/Ontario Infrastructure Works program for eight projects worth a combined $378,639. They included facility repair and road work.

Expecting praise for our efforts to champion the planting of trees to combat the greenhouse effect and their overall soothing and relaxing properties, I was instead met with a barrage of abusive comments. “What is wrong with you people?” she shouted over the phone. “Don’t we have enough leaves to rake in the fall as it is?” It was one of those classic moments when you take the phone from your ear, hold it out in front of you, and stare at it in disbelief. I co-led a hike a week or two ago on a gorgeous property not from Waupoos. The owners live under a forest of trees and falling leaves. Their house is blanketed in leaves, their driveway and their lawn become unrecognizable. Yet, the owners of this property treat these leaves like gold. They spread out a large tarpaulin, rake the leaves onto it, and then drag their harvest of leaves to their garden, using their efforts as fertilizer and compost. They have learned how to make use of a complementary product. At our home, we waited for almost 40 years for leaves so we could do much the same thing. Some are added annually to a large compost pile, and some are used to insulate sensitive garden plants. The majority of the leaves, however, are ground into dust with our recycling mower, forcing the pulverized material into the soil to provide nutrients. Almost daily, I am mulching these leaves here and

OUTDOOR RAMBLES TERRY SPRAGUE

there around our two-acre property, until the last leaf has fallen from the trees. Ignoring large quantities of leaves that fall every autumn is not a wise option. Leaves that are not removed or ground up with a mulching mower will block sunlight and air from reaching the grass. Rain and early snowfalls accentuate the problem by turning these fluffy layers of leaves into soggy mats. The resulting lack of air circulation can smother the grass or attract disease. In the soil there are microorganisms that go right to work in utilizing the leaves that I have pulverized by breaking them down even further so they can be used by the grass. The decomposing leaves cover any bare spots between the blades of grass, thereby making it more difficult for weeds to emerge in the spring. Studies apparently have found that there can be an almost major decrease in dandelions and crabgrass after mulching fall leaves after only

three years, according to the Mother Nature Network web site. As a rule though, I don’t worry too much about dandelions in the spring on our lawn anyway. They have a short season, and provide some colour in the spring when they are blooming. However, closer to the house where I have been mulching leaves every fall, I have noted a marked decrease in their presence, so there is some truth to that claim. Mulching mowers are more than just conventional mowers with the side discharge chute blocked off; they have specially designed blades that work efficiently to pulverize the leaves into a fine, almost dusty material. I have mulched in all kinds of weather and conditions, but the best job can be done right after a heavy frost when the leaves are brittle. Personally, I don’t like to leave the job that long, as I am anxious to service my mowers and put them to bed for the winter by sharpening the blades, stabilizing the gas, changing the oil, and cleaning up the machines with my air compressor. Mostly, I recycle leaves because it is the responsible thing to do on our property. My philosophy has always been to reuse everything that Nature has provided. That applies also to tree limbs that I prune annually. Some are put through a wood chipper to be used as mulch around the trees, while others are added to a brush pile to serve as wildlife habitat. Still others serve as tinder for an outdoor fire pit that we enjoy whenever we are sitting outside under our maple tree. Everything is used, and

branches produced in our yard, stay in our yard. Back to the issue of leaves though, I have always found the whole exercise of leaf drop very fascinating. It marks the close of the fall season, accented by a riot of falling colours. The ceremony, of course, is a deliberate action on the part of a tree, as it helps the tree survive the cold. No longer can the tree afford to lose moisture through transpiration as it did during summer. It must preserve any moisture that it can get through winter, so it must drop its leaves. I have been trained to believe that in Nature everything happens for a reason. Why beech trees retain their dead leaves through winter has always been a mystery that I continue to research. But, in Nature, if we knew all the answers, the enjoyment of Nature would lose its appeal very quickly. The fall colour, the unique shapes of leaves peculiar to each species, their photosynthesis, the heady autumn fragrance of decomposing leaves, their usefulness in our lives, and the entire fascinating process from spring through fall. The woman who called me had missed out on all this throughout her life. How can one not feel sorry for someone like that?

Food Not Bombs to host fundraising dance Saturday at Picton Town Hall

Food Not Bombs (FNB), a collective that serves free meals and holds mutual aid events such as clothes swaps and The Really, Really Free Market, is holding a fundraising dance this Saturday at the Picton Town Hall starting at 7p.m. “Beets & Beats” will include dance performances followed by a dance for all with music by DJ Ombudsman, who is part of

the FNB group and is donating his services to the evening. Admission is pay-whatyou-can. While the goal is to raise money to help continue the work of Food Not Bombs, no one will be turned away for lack of funds. Food Not Bombs is a worldwide movement and the Prince Edward County group has been serving free food since

August 2013, both in Benson Park in warm weather, and every Friday at lunch from November 2013 to May 2014 at the Picton library branch. “After moving back to Benson Park during the summer,” says Christine Renaud, one of the organizers, “we decided we needed an indoor space to hold our events so have rented the town hall for the year. Now

we’d like to raise some money to help pay for the hall and to fund future projects that both engage and help people.” The Beets & Beats fundraiser is being organized by Tamara Segal, Hri Neil, Pam Patterson and Mary Macdonald. Upcoming Nov. dates are Nov. 12 and Nov. 19 from 5:30-7p.m. -Contributed

Statutory holiday may not help with observance of Remembrance Day

ONTARIO is one of four provinces in Canada that do not consider Remembrance Day a statutory holiday. While it would appear to be disrespectful to veterans that people in this province can not even spare one day of commercial activity to pay their respects for all the men and women who fought have gained for us, there is some merit in Ontario residents not being given that day off from work and from school. The federal NDP has put forward a bill in the House of Commons that would effectively make Remembrance Day a statutory holiday across the country, which the Conservative government has hinted they will support, which will likely make it law. While it appears the Parliamentarians that backed the bill mean well, we are concerned with how it may be perceived. It would be nice to think that all of the people given such a gift from the government to have the day free to go to cenotaphs and to reflect on sacrifice and service that many of us cannot imagine, it appears that many would not use the day as intended, instead using it to sleep in, to catch up on housework, or to spend a day with friends — all freedoms our armed forces fought for to ensure that we all have the freedom to choose today. For some younger Canadians, it would probably be more beneficial for the notion of remembrance that they be still in school for the day where they can learn about the great wars and those who fought in them, especially as more and more veterans from the Second World War pass on and fewer links to those years are left. For those who do work, however, we would like to see some allowances made that would encourage as many people as possible to get to cenotaphs and other memorial sites like Legion branches on that day. Even if businesses were required to close their doors for a few hours so that workers could have that option, it would send a real message of appreciation both to the families of veterans who have fought so hard in the past and to those military personnel and families who continue to sacrifice to protect the safety and freedoms we enjoy. Perhaps this year, as Canadians mark the sombre anniversaries of the World Wars and find themselves shaken closer to home than ever before by conflict, there will be renewed efforts to celebrate our soldiers. One would hope that Canadians never did become too far removed with the value that our military has given this country, particularly with the Afghanistan missions still in recent memory, but in time, the “new normal” tends to fade away into the background as life goes on and other temptations appear. Here in Prince Edward County, we’re very lucky to be in close proximity to the large air base in Trenton, another one of Canada’s major military installations in Kingston, and Royal Military College. With many neighbours employed by the Canadian Forces, the reality is never too far away to be seen and appreciated. Even with Camp Picton within our municipality and other Second World War-era testing grounds nearby, there are plenty of reminders about the way the world was. We’d encourage local businesses to take that time next Tuesday morning and encourage employees to go out and show their respect. We’d also encourage anyone who can to take a moment at 11 a.m. and pause from the day-to-day grind to remember. Whether or not Nov. 11 one day becomes a statutory holiday, it is hoped that it will continue to be front of mind for many and that the cenotaph services are eternally well attended.

DiscARTed wraps up as November events loom

The third annual DiscARTed Show & Sale – creations from recycled books — wrapped up last week after a successful run coinciding with Ontario Public Library Week. Over 125 people, including students from PECI, visited the show to view the 36 artworks on display upstairs at Books & Company. The books used, which were destined to be recycled from the library, were donated to the 23 artists who took part in the exhibit. “It was wonderful to see these books get a second life as artistic pieces,” said volunteer curator and glass artist Vanessa Pandos who helped pull the show together. DiscARTed is not juried but there is a People’s Choice Award. First place this year went to Colleen Green and Connie Graham who worked together to create “Stella”, a dress entirely made from book pages formed over an armature of chicken wire. Second place winner was Jennifer Hindson for her piece entitled “Roses”, and third place went to high school student Celeste Hill for her piece “Holden”, a sculpture based on the character Holden Caulfield in Catcher in the Rye. DiscARTed is a fundraiser for the County of Prince Edward Public Library and The Prince Edward County Authors Festival, with 50 percent of sales returned to the artist. The library would like to thank all of the artists who contributed to the show this year. We also wish to thank all who visited and those who purchased pieces as well. With October behind us, the library is set with a full roster of new events for November. On Thursday, Nov. 6 at 7 p.m. the library is hosting a gathering at the Picton branch for all those interested in creative writing. Both published and unpublished writers are welcome to “A Night for County Writers”. The hope is to perhaps form a writers group that would meet regularly. Prior to this event, the twice-monthly Social Justice Discussion Group meets at 5:30 p.m. and all are welcome. Saturday, Nov. 8 at 11 a.m. join us for the launch of Camp Picton Boys, a new young reader’s chapter book by author Joanne Courneya-

Reflections on the elected council and the tasks ahead

Now that the dust has settled and the votes have been counted, we now have a brief period of time, before the new council begins, for the public to reflect upon what many stated to be their platform – the reason we elected them! The vast majority of those elected supported the downsizing of council. Our new mayor promised this issue would be dealt with during the first year of this term. Let’s hope that he is true to his word and that it is done with dignity and with sensitivity to retaining the ten wards. Delaying this issue will not serve this community well – just do it by collectively keeping your word – this time! My personal interest lies with one candidate who was elected for the first time by “assuring health-

care renewal with a new community hospital and the very best related services in all rural Ontario.” These are his exact words taken from his brochure — when asked (twice), he failed to convince me. But he got elected, so here’s hoping! Taxes and roads are a major issue for this community. While again most of those elected stated that they are in favour of keeping taxes at two per cent to address our road needs, they don’t seem to realize that our taxes have jumped dramatically over the last two councils (according to one mayoralty candidate by 45 per cent over the last 8 years!) – enough already! In most other communities even a two-per-cent increase would be contentious. Maybe it is time

BACK TO ATORKOR

This weekend, Peta Hall is returning to Atorkor, Ghana and the vocational training centre she started with the generous support of county people. She’ll return to a facility with more than 300 students enrolled and bringing an additional $1,680 from the Rotary Club of Picton. Here, Hall is joined by, from left, club president Rick Jones and members Rod De CourcyIreland and Robert Bird. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

CORRECTION

In last week’s Gazette, letters by John Blake and Stan Grizzle were inadvertently cut off. Those letters appear here again in their entirety this week. The Gazette regrets the error.

for our new council to start consulting with the public as to how important an issue this is and to inquire with them if we should be looking at other standards of road repair – one we can afford? At least until Queen’s Park and Ottawa decide to get responsible and they too make infrastructure a priority. Right now we have over $600 million in road repairs – no amount of local tax increases can keep up. It is time for our council to get inventive! For me another very important issue is job creation for our younger people – yet while it was mentioned, it was not discussed in any depth at the four candidates meetings I attended. In my opinion, this is an area where time, money and real expertise is

needed to attract new businesses. It is time for council to develop a long term strategy and to consider hiring the expertise needed to do the job. Our young people need some hope to stay here. Many people have commented on the low voter turnout in this past election – despite having online voting! Voters don’t want fancy gadgetry to attract them to the ballot box –they want and desperately need someone worth voting for! We owe it to this new council to give them every opportunity to fulfil their platform, but they must be aware that the public are tired of false promises and excuses. Dennis Fox Northport

Bypass discussion was pure politicking at its worst

As reported in the Oct. 23 Gazette, a number of candidates for mayor and council at a BIA meeting opposed any bypass for Picton. This was pure politicking at its worst, as a bypass is not being actively considered. In fact, we already have an alternative traffic route to the ever increasing congestion on Main Street especially during July and August. Traffic driving south on County Rd. 49 and heading beyond Picton but not intending to stop in town itself could be directed along County Rds. 6, 5, 34 and 4 to the traffic lights at the LCBO. This would reduce the traffic on Main St. and make it more attractive to pedestrians who are the people who patronize the shops there. Businesses fail because Main Street is becoming more and more unattractive to pedestrians who have the money to spend. The street is often choked

with cars, trucks and tractor trailers all spewing noise, dirt and exhaust fumes, why would anyone want to walk along it? Why are tractor-trailers loaded with hay or straw allowed in town? I don’t think many shops on Main St. sell bales of hay. Similarly, why do tractor-trailers servicing Home Hardware, Canadian Tire and No Frills use Main Street? All of these should be directed around the town centre. Does Paul Boyd’s comment about locals knowing the back streets really mean “take the tourist’s money but don’t do anything to make them welcome?’ The last council didn’t have much vision about the road system and it looks like the new one will be no different.

Canada’s flag should be flown with respect, dignity

As a result of the recent events in the last two weeks in which two Canadian servicemen were murdered, Canadians have responded admirably.Their displays of patriotism are varied and include, among others, the display of our Canadian flag. Such displays are offered as apparent tokens of support for the Canadian Armed Forces and its members. The flying of the National Flag of Canada, the proper name of our " maple leaf flag" is encouraged. However, some seem to feel that it is alright to simply hoist it on a flag-pole and forget about it. As a result their flags get weather worn and should be taken down and replaced.

There are flags around the County which are hanging by a thread. No one's national flag should be treated so badly. If you Google www. PWGSC ( Public Works & Government Services Canada) Ceremonial Procedures (June 2005) you will learn that: "The National Flag will, at all times, be treated with the dignity and respect warranted by this symbol of national sovereignty. With the exception of the Queen's Personal Canadian Flag, standards of the Royal Family, the Governor General's Flag or the flag of the Lieutenant Governor of a province within his/her

province of jurisdiction, the National Flag will be flown or displayed in the position of honour before all other flags." As well the Education Act of the Province of Ontario dictates at Regulation 5 that each school will display the National Flag of Canada and “The principal, site supervisor or designate should regularly inspect the flag for signs of wear and damage and shall be replaced when worn, noticeably faded or otherwise unfit for service. The flag must be disposed of according to Federal Protocol. So our students are taught. A flag that is hanging by

a thread, the edging worn and in tatters, and/or the colour so faded that it is nearly indistinguishable can hardly be said to being treated with dignity. Therefore,if one cannot afford to replace an 'unfit for service' Canadian flag, the flag should be taken down and not replaced. If it can't be done right, it should not be done at all. That we are examining our flag protocol at this time of remembrance seems particularly appropriate. To those of you who have refreshed or otherwise renovated your flags, thank you. Ian D. Inrig Wellington

Changing of the guard sign mission was accomplished

I would like to congratulate the winners in the municipal election in Prince Edward County. What an exciting journey it has been for all of us candidates and what anticipation there must be for the councillors-elect. There has been a chang-

ing of the guard and this was the primary motivator for many of the candidates ….so, mission accomplished. The fresh faces around the council table reflect a fresh start politics in the county. We, as constituents, should feel very optimistic

that we now will have ear time with councillors instead of face time, that optimism will ring through the halls of Shire Hall and in the hearts of the county folk. I would also like to thank the wonderful people who expressed their

confidence in myself by supporting my candidacy. I view this as the beginning of many new and exciting friendships and I look forward to continuing this journey along side you. Stan Grizzle Athol

Local artist launches greeting card line Markham company to distribute McCabe’s colourful creations chad ibbotson

Staff writer

Claudia McCabe always lets her imagination lead the way and is putting it on display with a new line of greeting cards bearing her paintings. The colourful cards can be found at J.H. Porte on Picton's Main Street and are being distributed under the line Bijoux D'art by Markham company Pine Ridge Art. McCabe said she expects a calendar to follow next year, along with other stationary items. A painter, graphic designer, and teacher a Loyalist College, McCabe said the paintings began as what she calls “scribbles.” She says “scribbles” are one of the first exercises she teaches new students. “It's one of the beginning exercises that has become the basis of going ahead and exploring the whole world of art,” she said. “I call it scribbles, scribbling, it just loosens you up like exercises for an athlete. It gets you into the feel of the paint.” She said the exercise is one she's been employing for years and one students

have taken a liking to. McCabe said through scribbles, sometimes images start to develop and she lets her imagination flesh out the images. “As I explore each scribble I see something that could be developing, like some crazy flowers or a crooked pot — or something wonky,” she said. “… They're entirely from my imagination. That, to me, is the most fertile, exciting place from which to start.” McCabe said the line of greeting cards materialized when the company reached out to her. “Years and years ago I did some watercolour calendars through (Pine Ridge Art) and then we lost touch,” she said. She said a representative from the company contacted her to see what she'd been working on since last being featured by the company. The local artist, who moved to the county about five years ago, has participated in numerous group, featured, and solo exhibitions across the country. She is an elected member of the Society of Canadian Artists and an award winner.

McCabe said she's ecstatic people seem to responding well to the cards, which she describes as “whimsical.” “I'm over the moon,” she said. “… Sometimes I just have to pinch myself.” McCabe is no stranger to whimsy. As she spoke to the Gazette on Thursday, McCabe recited a poem called “Strawberry Fields” from her 2009 book Musings — Poems & Fantasy Paintings which she said encapsulates the idea. She said she “couldn't be more thrilled” that a store in Prince Edward County is the first to offer the greeting cards. “I'm totally in love with the county,” she said. McCabe is working on several projects, including another line of products featuring her art, and a Prince Edward Countythemed Christmas book called J.H. Porte manager Carol Morris said the cards have been selling well since they arrived in the store a couple of weeks ago. “They have been doing very well,” said Morris. “People have been liking how colourful they are.”

Seniors appreciate services provided in their community Community Care helps seniors live at home. It is our goal to provide quality services that seniors can depend upon. If you need a ride, meals, cleaning, recreation, et cetera then Community Care is the right place for you. Our services also support caregivers who are trying to help their family members, friends and neighbours to live at home. Community Care has caring volunteers who provide escorted transportation to take seniors to medical and other appointments and shopping. These are some of the comments about the volunteer driving service: “With 66 years driving experience, I could not ask for anything better.” “I think you do a wonderful job! And your staff is so friendly and helpful. You provide a much needed service and I’m sure your other clients appreciate it as much as I do.” “Each of the three drivers we have used were outstanding.” These are things that our clients say about the other services that we provide: A 93-year-old man told our staff “I appreciate everything that everyone does--the frozen meals are wonderful.” This was from an 80year-old man... “I appreciate the Meals on Wheels so much. Each meal is very good. It is wonderful how they can appeal to so many people. Each meal is thoughtfully prepared and presented.” We received a call from a man who said that his wife was so pleased with the foot-care service that she received from Community Care that she told him he needed to contact us and make arrangements for his own foot care. He called and became a foot care client, too. “I appreciate having the meals delivered right to the door and the friendly courteous service from the staff and volunteers. It helps me to be more independent, which makes less worry for my family, who do not live close by but visit often. I thank you all very much.” “Please pass on that Meals on Wheels does a wonderful thing for seniors!” “Thank you for all the assistance Community Care has provided for us. The staff and the volunteers have been so helpful.” “Community Care is one of the best things that has ever happened in Prince Edward County.” “I am most grateful for the services Community Care gives.” If you need some practical help to make it possible for you to continue to live with comfort and independence in your own home, call today and speak to one of our staff. The number is 613-476-7493 and our office is located in The Armoury, 206 Main Street in Picton. Send e-mails to info@communitycarefors-

Take it easy and enjoy yourselves this busy month

Here we are in November already. It's been a busy summer for all and seems we just get started, then it's time to clean it all up and put gardens to bed, etc. I do like October with it's assorted weather and all. Even now, there are a few flowers here, cosmos and zinnias bravely hanging on , displaying pretty colours much appreciated as days grow short and more darkness takes over. A variety of chrysanthemums are showing off, particularly some smaller ones I started from cuttings. I kept them all in pots this year to keep an eye on them. Remembering to trim them back a few times so to grow bushier is a must. The larger ones are fading now as they bloomed earlier. Soon I will bury these, in their pots, in the big garden. Along with any other plants that need overwintering. I see most of the solarlight batteries need changing, but will put away many of those also till spring. I buy fairly inexpensive ones and used to throw some away, but no more. Changing the battery in spring gives them new life, and I am attempting to live a more frugal life here, so waste is not an option. Everything gets re-used, recycled, donated, however possible. More than ever before. We already were quite careful but it is important to work at being less of a consumer and more of an environmentalist. It is great now to share and learn along these lines, if you have a computer as well. I tend to use mine now for learning and exploring, rather than just communicating via e-mails, et cetera.Being on Facebook, offers many options, and I am constantly amazed at the volumes of "pages" gearing to any one subject. You do have to limit yourself to just a few things to follow, or you will be on it constantly. Not having grown up with all this, I find my head gets real tired after a bit. I can easily become an "info hoarder" with no time to read it all. When I was without internet, I would go to the library, any of them, where one can learn and explore free. And help is provided there! Bonus. Just to give you a few options if you wish to apply money saving ways into your life. And or get along with less "stuff" I will share with you. Now if you have e-mail, one site to get inspiring newsletters from is called, "Frugal Living" at About.com I enjoy these very much and it is good if you don't want to bother with facebook and it's continuous in-your-face advertising — which I tend to ignore. Though what I like about that is the exchange of ideas that gives us incentive to be more careful with our dollars and more thoughtful in our daily lives. My absolute favourite “page" on Facebook is "Homemade Living Frugally". This gal posts great advice and ideas and there is lots of comments and

Kate’s corner

KATHERINE MINAKER

ideas from many. Right now, ideas for homemade Christmas gifts are plentiful there. From this you can find a lot more similar pages to investigate. one other concentrates on reducing possessions and it is "becoming minimalist". It really inspires me to let go of things no longer used. which has never been easy for me, but I do prefer to be able to find what I need, rather than hunt through piles of unnecessary items. It is very helpful. Check it out and see how you can be happier in your home and surroundings with just a little effort. Works for me! November finds us now eating a lot more vegetables. Good fall produce such as potatoes, carrots, and onion. We still cook like Granma did, mostly. Potato, vegetables, and either meat, fish or chicken

is our mainstay, although I am incorporating more fish into our diet now. Some busy days, it is breakfast for supper and that is fine. We now have our main meal earlier in the day, which works out much better. If evening finds us famished, a bowl of cereal hits the spot. No junk food is here, well very seldom. Just not part of our lives. Mind you, too much bread takes it's toll on our waistlines. What is it they say? Oh yes, portion control. I am not very good at that. But I keep trying. You do your

best and take it easy on yourself. We all push too hard and work too hard and worry too much. My "recipe" for November is easy does it. You deserve to be happy and healthy and no one can do it for you. Whatever your issues, be happy with you. Now. Stop waiting. Just enjoy today. Be grateful for what you do have, and stop wanting more. Look for the magic in your day and smile. It takes less muscles to smile. Next time we will make some holiday goodies, so stay tuned, folks!

At the time of the film’s original release in 1928, “Carry On, Sergeant!” was considered controversial for its portrayal of forbidden love during wartime, unveiling a narrative of anti-war sentiments. The film follows a married Canadian soldier on the front lines of battle and through a secret affair with his French mistress. “Carry On, Sergeant!” is one of Canada’s earliest films that still remain from that era. HILOTRONS have dedicated a large part of 2014 to arranging Ennio Morricone’s classic score for modern audiences, while still maintaining the timelessness of the original recordings.

HILOTRONS have been together since 2003, and with five full-length albums already under their belt, the band consistently proves why they are mainstays of the Canadian indie music scene. The band has written and performed a number of scores, including a modern version of the 1919 film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. “Carry On, Sergeant” will be presented at the Regent Theatre on Monday Nov 10th at 8pm. Tickets can be purchased online at www.theregenttheatre.org or by visiting or calling the Regent’s box office.

Bloomfield-area homeowner braces for additional flooding on Hwy 62 property After spending more than $16,000 to fix damages caused by plugged culverts, Weir has concerns about maintaining coverage on her home Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

Paula Weir is hoping she won't have to face another nightmare scenario this spring. Flooding was a major concern in many areas across the province last spring following a particularly snowy winter and, according to Weir, Prince Edward County was no different. Weir's Hwy 62 property just outside of Bloomfield incurred substantial flooding damage. Her basement — like many residents' — flooded and water saturated her property. While her home insurance paid for the damage to her basement, she said it didn't solve the problem as the water settled under her house. “All this water in the spring, even into July was sitting under my house,” she said. “I had to have an excavator come and dig up my entire yard and put in an industrial drainage system to get the water out from under my house and out to the ditch.” All told she spent six months and more than $16,000 fixing the problem. Now, she's concerned it could happen again. “In the spring when those culverts plug again, I'm going to have the same issue,” she said. While she admits the extra snow and ice was a factor, Weir said inadequate county infrastructure was at the root of her troubles. “In front of my house is a

ditch and the ditch gets the flow from about a kilometre away,” she said. “(With) the water in the spring, when we had all the rain and freezing, the culverts that start at Bloomfield township line were plugged so the water had no place to go.” She said the ditch overflowed and her front yard filled with water. The sump pump in her basement outflows to the ditch, she said, providing no relief. “They were submerged so all the water came into my house,” she said. When the flooding occurred in April she contacted the municipality who, she said, told her it wasn't the County's responsibility — Carillion Canada Inc. is responsible for making sure the culverts are clear on Hwy 62. She said a municipal representative visited her home in July and confirmed Weir could drain the water under her home into the ditch. She said the culvert running through that ditch is 30 inches (76 centimetres) wide, but the culverts on Bloomfield

side start at 18 inches and end at 15 inches, she said. “It's all underground and it ends at the pond in Bloomfield that they filled in,” said Weir. “I'm being told it's not the pond, it's not an issue that they filled in the pond. Okay, well I've never had this kind of flood before. No, we didn't have the same type of spring, but the water had no place to go.” Weir said the pond was on a piece of property nearby, and said the summer before the flood the water was pumped out and the space filled in. Seven months later, Weir said she's sent e-mails to council and to senior staff at the municipality. She said the municipality visited the site and made sure water could flow through the culverts, but she said that was in September. “Their flusher got stuck when it went down in the culvert. It got stuck on the joints because they're folding in,” she said. “My issue is, what if they're all like that for 420 feet. In the spring when there are leaves and things going down there, they're going to get caught on the joints.” Weir said if her basement floods again this spring she's worried her home insurance could be cancelled and she won't be able to get a mortgage. “I'm at the end of my rope with it,” she said. County commissioner of

engineering, development, and works Robert McAuley said the municipality is aware of the situation and has been out to inspect and test the culvert. “It's from our perspective an existing situation, but

we're looking to see if there's anything we can do to improve it,” said McAuley. “We have no immediate plans to take any particular action other than to keep that pipe clean.” McAuley said the Bloom-

field pond in question is a “receiver of the water” and the work the municipality did there doesn't have an impact on the situation. “That's where her pipe discharges into, not the other way around,” he said.

415 Wing president says we must remember those who sacrificed in war, peacekeeping Rotarians told stories of some local people who risked it all to defend Canada and its allies AdAm BrAmBurger

Staff writer

“We have heroes who walk among us daily and we don’t know what they’ve been through,” said Robert Bird, the president of the 415 Wing Air Force Association at Picton Rotary’s annual Remembrance Day meeting Tuesday. Bird had the privilege of speaking to his fellow club members on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the First World War and the 75th anniversary of the Second World War, carrying on a tradition D-Day vet Woodrow Blakely built. Bird spoke of some of the

major battles in the history of the Canadian Forces and the memorials dedicated to honour the soldiers who fought in them. He described the Menin Gate Memorial, which lists the names of 54,896 of the Commonwealth soldiers who died in the three battles of Ypres during the First World War, and how they couldn’t fit the names of the 100,000 missing or the other 250,000 lost in that battle. He explained many were shelled by artillery. Bird also described the memorial at Vimy Ridge, the battle many historians consider the birth of Canada’s na-

tional pride,when all four divisions of the Canadian corps fought together to overthrow the Germans. More than 10,500 were wounded and 3,000 died at that site. “Every great victory comes at a great cost,” Bird said of the battle. He then moved onto talking about the Second World War, walking on the beach at Normandy, the site of the DDay invasions in 1944 and the place where 10,000 Allied soldiers died to help the surge that ultimately liberated western Europe from the Nazis. There, he said the guns still face out to sea, the harbour installations still remain, and crosses line the scenic

beach front, including Juno Beach, which is where the Canadians took shore that June. He spoke about the peaceful resting place at the Canadian cemetery in Bény-sur-Mer, far from the bustle of highways and villages, but underlined that’s a sharp contrast from battles that destroyed 600 villages in France and caused 2,048 Canadians to be burried there. “When you walk through the crosses you'll see the ages of these men 18, 19, 20, 21 — a few were older than that. They gave up their future for this mission and their country, we must remember them.”

pAying respect It is expected there will be a large outpouring of gratitude for veterans this Remembrance Day with many wreaths laid at county cenotaphs. This was the scene in Wellington last year. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

Anniversaries of the two World Wars and recent tragedies in Ottawa and near Montreal have remembrance at the front of mind for many this year. Officials at Royal Canadian Legion branches in the county said they’ve been busy leading up to next week’s Remembrance Day ceremonies. “We’ve had a really heavy rush for wreaths this

year because of the happenings,” said Picton Branch 78 poppy campaign chairman Rusty Harrison. “It’s been kind of hectic... but we’re trying our best to accommodate everybody.” Harrison said it has been taxing trying to have all the ribbons made up in advance of the ceremonies. In Wellington, Branch 160 manager John Sanders said he’s noticed more people coming into the Legion in recent weeks. “From my personal experience, I know there’s been a greater acknowledgement over the past few weeks,” he said. “It has special meaning because of the events in Ottawa and in Quebec.” Sanders also said he thinks there has been a “big push” because of the 100th anniversary of the First World War and the 75th anniversary of the Second World War. That has been evident in the branch’s museum. “Much like Picton, we have a little museum in our club room,” he said. “We’ve seen a lot of people come in to look at images and they say they have similar ones of their (loved ones’) platoons.” Branch 160 will be marking those anniversaries at its veterans’ dinner Nov. 8.

Ceremonies in Picton, Wellington, Consecon Tuesday

EVENTS, from page 16

Researchers Maj. David Evans of the Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment and Fred Holtz of the Wellington Heritage Museum will be discussing their research about soldiers from the county, and in particular, the Wellington area who fought in the First World War. Sanders said they’re working on a centenary project along the Millennium Trail. A commemorative plaque is also expected to be presented that evening. Sanders said about 100 people are expected for the dinner, which starts at 7 p.m. That event kicks off the annual observances. “This is kind of like our Christmas at the Legion, Remembrance Day is our big push,” he said. Remembrance Day in Wellington starts with a service at 10 a.m. at Wellington United Church. As in past years, Wellington will have its civilian briged mustering on Main Street Tuesday at 10:30 a.m. east of the church. After it marches in with the Legion colour party and representation of 8-Wing Trenton, there will be two minutes of silence followed by wreath laying and a reception at the branch. “Everyone is welcome. Usually the whole village comes to that,” said Sanders. In Picton, the festivities will begin Monday night with the traditional candlelight vigil at the cenotaph from 7-11 p.m. Harrison said that’s one way people can show their support. “There are lights available at the Legion. If you can’t get someone there, you can call Dorothy Holdaway at 613888-3511,” he said. In Picton, a bus will leave the Legion for the Picton

United Church at 9:30 a.m. A service will start there at 10 and people can pick up wreaths at the back of the church. “We’ll form up to march to the cenotaph at 10:45, have greetings, wreath laying, and a ceremony,” Harrison said. “We’ll then march back to the Legion for lunch and entertainment.” Celtic performers McGreevy & Hardman will be on stage at Branch 78. Harrison said he expects there will be involvement from the Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment and 8-Wing Trenton again at the Picton cenotaph. In Consecon, Branch 509 will also be staging a ceremony at the cenotaph, with people gathering at 10:30 a.m. Cadets from the 851 Prince Edward Air Cadets

Squadron will also be involved in ceremonies in the county. At PECI, students and

staff will start their ceremony at 8:25 a.m. It will include a range of music, dramatic performances, and readings.

Bloomfield’s Emmanuel Baptist Church holding community service of thanks Sunday at 11 a.m. Jason Parks

Staff writer

The Emmanuel Baptist Church in Bloomfield will be hosting a community service of thanks Sunday at 11 a.m. The church is inviting members of the armed forces, veterans and first responders (police, paramedics, firefighters and medical staff) in order to thank them for the work they do both locally and abroad. Sarah Armstrong, the church's director of children's ministries said the ceremony will differ from a regular remembrance service in that it

won't focus strictly on veterans or current members of the forces. “In light of the recent happenings at Parliament Hill, I think we are all overwhelmed with a sense of gratitude for these people who serve for us everyday,” Armstrong said. “And it's not just military. It's the paramedics, police officers and the emergency room nurses. Sometimes these people are forgotten about until you need them.” When the tragedy was taking place two weeks ago in Ottawa and tensions were high, Armstrong said she had three thoughts .

First, her own children were at school and were texting her with concern. “They were so worried and scared as we all were and I reassured them that the police, the security and the military were there handling the situation and I was so grateful that we lived in a country where we had these capabilities,” Arm-

strong said. Second, after Cpl. Nathan Cirillo was shot at the Canadian National War Memorial, soldiers were willing to stand in his place as ceremonial guard in spite of the risks of a potentially life threatening situation. “No one really knew what was happening but the fact there were soldiers ready to

step in and take his place was inspiring,” she added. “There is a sense of admiration and bravery and reassurance that we live in a country where people are so brave and willing. Finally, she thought about the families of members of the forces and first responders. Those spouses and chil-

dren that quite often have family time sacrificed so the Canadians can be safe and protected. “The families make a huge sacrifice,” Armstrong said. “They are the ones that must stay strong while dad or mom are out there, either serving overseas or somewhere else in Canada or in our own community.”

And so when we see a poppy worn, Let us reflect on the burden borne, By those who gave their very all When asked to answer their country’s call That we at home in peace might live, Then wear a poppy! Remember - and give!

Skilled airmen came back to lives in region and didn’t talk about their experiences

HEROES, from page 15

While those recollections were useful to helping set the tone of remembrance, some of the most touching material Bird delivered came from his first-hand knowledge of some of the local people who fought during the Second

World War. Bird joined the military at age 17, so he offered his stories with some insight into the military strategy behind the operations and also added he had the chance to know some of the veterans through his own involvement. One of the air skir-

In Flanders Fields By: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918) Canadian Army

IN FLANDERS FIELDS the poppies grow Between the crosses row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky the larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.

mishes he discussed was the Battle of Britain. Bird said the Germans wanted to invade Britain, but faced difficulties with the English Channel and presence of naval forces there. They thought they could establish air supremacy and then eliminate the navy that way. It didn’t work. “They had not planned on the British having such a strong air force. The reason is we had a year to get ready and the Germans had never attacked a modern, welltrained air force.” Bird noted the British used radar to detect planes coming in their direction and listened in on German radio checks with the tower to know how many in advance. The battle lasted six weeks, until the British stopped a last-ditch effort in

September 1940. The Royal Air Force routinely scrambled planes to engage the thousands of planes the Germans marshalled in France. Bird said Robert Norris of Belleville was one of the pilots who flew those planes, taking off as many as six times a day and coming back to refuel. The former high school math teacher never talked about his experiences in the battle. “When I asked him how he did it, he just said ‘We had to do it,’” Bird recalled. “He said ‘Our battle cry was go Tiger go, and we’d go off and try to brunt the attack.’” While the battle of Britain was one of the most publicized air skirmishes in the war, Bird said he has read a lot about Bomber Command, the other air aspect of the war, which sent pilots on

raids over Europe. He said the loss rate was four per cent, so over the course of 30 missions, the attrition would be 120 per cent of the pilots. “I was stunned to learn the heavy losses incurred by Bomber Command,” said Bird. “Theoretically, no one could survive long, yet every day, bomber crews climbed back into their aircrafts.” John Francis, a man who lived on Argyle Street in Picton did complete his 30 missions. He told Bird he was wounded just once, coming back to Britain on a foggy night. He landed and discarded his parachute successfully, but walked off the roof of the warehouse he landed on, breaking his leg. Bill Jones, the father of Rotary president Rick Jones, was also involved in the air attacks and was actually shot down over France. “He made it back to England, thanks to the help of some brave French farmers,” said Bird. He added that after Jones escaped, one of the farmers eventually was captured by the Nazis, tortured, and killed, yet he never gave up who he was had been protecting. Jones was one of 14 men of 100 that were shot down over France during his mission that survived. “Rick’s father never talked about it for years, he was just the druggist in town,” said Bird as he showed off the helmet Jones wore while flying. Bird also spoke of a Picton man he met named Hedley Everard, a pilot who was decorated by King George 6 being the first to shoot down

a German jet in Holland. Everard served all around the world and was sent back to Canada after receiving his medal as the government wanted him to sell war bonds in western Canada. He’d have none of it. “He went on a cruise ship, found his old squadron and went back to fighting. He said ‘The job is not done,’” said Bird, adding Everard denied receiving the telegram about the bonds. Everard was a full colonel by age 25. He was captured on Christmas day in 1944 and spent seven months in captivity before returning to Canada and working as a test pilot. Bird said he also never talked about it, however, he did later write a book about his experiences called A Mouse in my Pocket. He indicated he brought up Everard’s name at a card game and people recognized him as a man who complained about golf balls hitting his house, not as a decorated war hero. Bird said Canadians continued to hold the line, no matter what the cost, through the Korean War, many peacekeeping missions and in Afghanistan. They must be remembered, he said. He also commented on the current conflict with the Islamic State group. “For the first time a battle we are fighting over there has come home to hurt us over here,” he said. “As we fought the Nazis, we must fight this new evil ideology.”

PEFHT moving forward with plans to build at McFarland site

BYPASS, from page 1

The option provided at an age-in-place public meeting in July indicates as much as it labels a potential roadway as “Picton ByPass/Millennium Trail.” A bypass road that would allow traffic to flow to and from the hospital could end at Johnson Street and force motorists to turn either north towards County Rd. 5 or south towards Picton. Or it could continue to Talbot Street or even Loyalist Parkway near Canadian Tire and would allow motorists to drive more directly around downtown Picton, a worry many downtown business owners harbour. The latest public document concerning the agein-place project released Oct.24 shows a current “preferred master plan,” and potential roadways are shown as possibilities alongside the Millennium Trail and an extension of Fawcett Avenue going north and connecting with a road starting from the heart of the McFarland property and running parallel to Hwy 49 across farmland. Added to the fact the term '”bypass” showed up on the age-in-place planning documents was that potential development charges for the area that's currently farm land appeared up in the latest Prince Edward County development charges schedule. This is because that area is designated as a development area to accommodate growth in the town of Picton explained director of community development Neil Carbone. Carbone said the idea of a secondary route in the vicinity of the northwest boundary of the property that may follow or could follow the Millennium Trail was contemplated when long-term planning consultants Watson and Associates identified in a report submitted to council there was a need for a collector route there dealing with increase in traffic if the area was developed. “That's as far as that concept has come,” Carbone told the Gazette. “If anything came up on a capital

Potential site The current prefered master plan

of the H.J. McFarland property shows potential allocation of space for a new replacement for the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital. (Prince Edward County)

priority list you would be going through significant public consultation, council approvals and none of that has happened. All it is right now is something that's been identified as some potential capital work that at least needs to be thought about in development charge calculations.” Carbone said his office would have concerns about any diversion of traffic around a key economic district such as downtown Picton. “We would have concerns about the implications of an additional route that would allow motorists to bypass Main Street but we don't have any concerns because we are well in advance of any discussions, consultations or decisions,” Carbone explained. “(A secondary route) was only contemplated in the first place to deal with more traffic in that area, not to create a bypass of a key business district like Picton.” What is clearer is the Quinte Healthcare Corporation (QHC) is still planning on a campus model with regards to the new hospital. QHC director of communications Susan Rowe said a new "pre-capital submission". will go to the Southeast Local Health Integration Network board for approval in December and then, assuming it is approved, to the Ministry of Health and Long-term Care immediately after. “While waiting for ministry approval, we will also simultaneously work on the first stage of the busi-

ness case,” Rowe said. “We are a long way off in selecting a site for the new hospital, that will be much later in the redevelopment process,” Rowe said. Rowe confirmed that the ministry will have the final say on where the new hospital is located but the site selection is done in consultation with QHC, the community and the municipality. QHC is planning for a new hospital that would be co-located with the Prince Edward Family Health Team and, ideally, other community agencies. “We are still looking at doing a health-care campus type model,” Rowe said. This is meaningful with regards to the H.J. McFarland property because the Prince Edward Family Health Team (PEFHT) is in the final stages of a request for proposal process to build office space on those lands.

If PEFHToffices are built on the property and hospital development plans to be approved by the Ministry preclude the project be a campus model, the new hospital would have to be built on the McFarland site. PEFHT executivedirector Stephanie MacLaren confirmed the current request for proposal process (which she expects to be finalized within the six weeks) are based on constructing office space at the McFarland property. While there was no confirmation on the size of the space required to house the Prince Edward Family Health Team, MacLaren hopes all team members would be located in single facility. “Our hope is we would have all the physicians in Picton located in one place,” MacLaren told the Gazette. Municipally owned land for the PEFHT office space was committed by the council of the day in 2007 although the exact location was never hammered out. The outgoing council confirmed the municipality's interest in the project earlier this term and the McFarland lands were designated as a potential location. The first phase of the age-in-place project is 88 units with a total of 144 to be built by the completion of the development.Current water and sewer service to the project allows for Phase One to be completed, but any further development would require upgrades.

I hope that by now you have planted all your fall bulbs and are looking forward to a colourful display next spring. Most of the outside chores should be complete. This is the time to pot up bulbs for indoor display at Christmas and into the new year. This is also the time to create an indoor container with tropical plants to delight the eye during those dull winter days. One of the easiest bulbs for winter forcing is the hyacinth. If you haven’t already potted some up this fall, this is the time to do so for January blooms. Hyacinths typically need six to ten weeks of cold treatment before they are ready to bloom. They need to be in an environment cooler than 5 degrees and in complete darkness for that period of time. Hyacinths look best if they are planted in groups in larger pots or bowls. Plant them in good potting soil so that the tops of the bulbs are just showing and the bulbs themselves are not touching each other or the edges of the container. Water the pot well and cover the top with a piece of

ask a master gardener ALEXANDRA WIENS

black plastic or a similar opaque cover to retain the moisture and ensure darkness. Check the bulbs periodically to make sure the soil is moist, but do not overwater. A cold frame is the ideal environment to keep the pots during the cold treatment. Sink the pots in the ground inside the frame with the black plastic securely in place. You can cover them with newspaper if you have no plastic but you may have to check the moisture level more frequently. You can also sink the pots in a straw lined trench in the garden. Cover the pots with straw or some other insulating material and put boards overtop to keep off the snow. A second refrigerator is also an excellent place to keep the containers as you can set the temperature to the ideal level. When the shoot tips are around 2.5-5 cm high bring

the pot indoors or out of the refrigerator and put it in a cool place, about 10 degrees C, gradually increasing the temperature and light levels. When the leaves develop and flower buds appear, move the container to a bright, draught free site between 15-20 degrees C. Keep the soil moist and turn the pot occasionally to get even growth. Hyacinths can also be grown as single specimens in glass bulb jars. The jar should be filled with water to just below the base of the bulb. The bulb should not be touching the water. A small piece of charcoal can be added to the water to keep it fresh. Keep the jar in a cool, dark place until the roots are about 10 cm long and the leaves have begun to show. Then move it to a warmer and lighter spot. Make sure to keep the water level topped up. Bulbs that have been grown in water can be discarded at the end of their growing season as they will not flower again. Hyacinths that have been pot forced will flower again if the following steps are taken. Remove the dead heads of the flower by running your hand up the stem from the base of the flower spike to the top. Do not cut off the stalk. Continue watering until the leaves have withered and died down. Then allow the soil to dry out. Remove the bulbs and clean them of dried potting soil, dead roots and foliage; store them in a cool, dry place until the fall. In autumn plant them out in the garden, working some bone meal into the soil. Often they will flower the following spring, if they don’t, be patient, they may need more recovery time. If you have never forced an Amaryllis bulb for Christmas, you may want to consider it for this year. Local garden centers have wonderful stock available at the moment. The initial investment of about twenty dollars is more than offset by the years of pleasure you gain by growing an amaryllis. You will need a pot large enough to accommodate the bulb, a seven inch pot is usually recommended. Make sure that there is about 1” of

space available around the bulb. Fill the pot about threequarters full of potting mix. Make sure that the mix is moist. Plant the bulb with the top one-third uncovered. Water the pot well and place it in a sunny window where the temperature is between 60-70 degrees without a lot of fluctuation. Rather than place it on a window ledge or above a heating duct choose and area slightly away from those sources of temperature variance. It is a good idea to give the pot a quarter turn every few days to prevent leaning of the leaves. The plant should begin to grow in about two weeks and should be ready to flower after about two months. It is a good idea to put in flower inserts when growth begins to help support the heavy stalk later. Once the amaryllis has bloomed cut the flower stalk off but keep the plant in a sunny location and water as needed. Fertilize the plant monthly. When summer arrives you can move it outdoors. The next fall, bring the plant back indoors and withhold water until the leaves dry out. Remove the dead leaves and store the bulb in a cool dark place for 8-10 weeks. After that, repot the bulb in fresh soil and begin the bloom cycle again. Planting a winter tropical container presents a different kind of challenge. The most important thing to remember is to choose tropical plants that have similar light, temperature and moisture requirements. As with summer containers, the rule of thumb is to have a thriller, spiller and filler plant. With the large variety of tropical plants on the market this is not difficult. Choose plants that vary in height, leaf shape and colour. Be sure to include at least one plant that blooms. A cyclamen would make a good choice as they come in a variety of colours or use a Christmas cactus. Kalanchoe is also an excellent choice for bloom. K. blossfeldiana is the most popular variety to grow as it comes in a wide variety of colours. Using it as a foundation plant in a large container will provide a bright spot during the dull winter days to come.

Working Hand-in-Hand for our Childrens’ Success When we were creating Reaching for Rainbows, the licenced afterschool program that serves 30 girls ages 6-9 in Picton, I thought about all the nourishment that my children received from their grandmother. She loved life and she loved children. She had the ability to see the world through their eyes yet had a wisdom born of life’s ups and downs. It was so important to me that my children experience loving adults who weren’t as over-tired as their mother often Rev. Lynne Donovan was; loving adults who focused on all the good things and easily forgave the mistakes. One of the richest experiences that we provide for the girls in the program is one-on-one time with an adult. This is the largest role that our volunteers play: they serve as a gentle, engaging presence, led by the child’s interests, not a set curriculum If you care deeply for children and want to be part of nourishing the potential of girls in this community, PLEASE, contact Judie McLauchlin our Volunteer Coordinator (reachingrainbows@hotmail.com) with your enquiries. You’ll be joining a team that receives ongoing training and support and that is making a significant difference in the life of these girls. The girls are getting ready to host their second “Friends of Reaching for Rainbows Tea” on Thursday Nov 20 from 3 pm-4:30 pm. Preparing to host teas for their family members, volunteers, or the community is a favorite activity. The girls meet to plan the menu and to develop the “to do” list. They each have their own apron; some are more skilled at setting the table but all of them love to serve. In the past they have prepared musical presentations. It’s been hard to get some of them off “the stage” because they experience such joy in sharing their strengths, much like the rest of us.

Wellington claws back to .500 with two-win weekend Dukes rolling on four-game winning streak with pair of conference games ahead this weekend Jason Parks

Staff writer

The Wellington Dukes are back to square one. After spending most if not all of the OJHL's first two months below the .500 mark, the local Junior A squad extended their winning streak to four games this weekend and moved their record to 9-9-0, climbing out of last place in the Northeastern Conference. Wellington had little trouble stringing together 120 minutes of hockey in backto-back games, doubling the visiting North York Rangers 4-2 on Friday before dropping the Flyers in Orangeville 6-2 a night later. The Dukes’ 18 points moves them to within two points of sixth place in the conference rights the ship after an early season swoon that left the club well back at the rear of the Eastern Division pack, a rare setting for the franchise (at least in the past 15 years). Friday’s victory was an entertaining affair that featured a little bit of everything.

First star Luc Brown was everywhere Friday night, potting two goals and adding an assist in Wellington’s 4-2 win at the Essroc Arena versus the North York Rangers. After bagging three points Friday, Brown had a quiter night Saturday but still managed an assist in Wellington’s 6-2 victory in Orangeville. (Jason Parks/Gazette staff)

After a scoreless first, Luc Brown got the locals on the board with a nice spin around effort from the slot at 3:25. Wellington doubled that lead about four minutes later when Abbott Girduckis shovelled home one of his patented in-the-rightplace-at-the-right-time

goals. The Blueshirts closed the gap when Will Reilly squeezed one past Dukes starter Olie Lefreniere at 9:39 but the two-goal gap was restored late in the frame when Brown made a nice cross crease feed to Josh Supryka while Wellington was on one of

their five power-play opportunities. “I thought we played and played a structured game for 60 minutes and when we did break down, I though Lefreniere was there,” Wellington Dukes bench boss Marty Abrams said. “I was very happy with the game over all.”

The intensity of the affair was cranked in the second as the hits increased in both frequency and vociferousness. “It got nasty in the second,” Abrams agreed. “Everybody knows points are hard to come by and the teams battled hard.” Rangers winger Jacob

McKenzie belted Duke defender Connor Judson behind the Wellington net, popping the host player's helmet off with a thundering check. Later in the frame, Brown took a good run at a prone Ranger near the boards and that hit sparked off a mini-melee near the time keepers area. In the third, Wellington relied on Lefreniere a little more than they probably should have but the 16year-old netminder was more than equal to the task, making a couple of goal mouth stops that had would-be Ranger snipers shaking their heads as they skated to bench. North York finally managed one past Lefreniere in the late going as Wellington coughed up a puck while getting organized on a powerplay rush but the Dukes answered 30 seconds later as Brown capped off a threepoint night with a muchneeded insurance goal. Wellington again played things close to the vest in the opening frame the next night but they couldn't get out of the first frame unscathed as Orangeville took a 1-0 lead to the dressing room thanks to an Ian Nichols goal 50 seconds left in the first.

Pirates drop pair to Amherstview Picton falls into fourth-place tie with Campbellford in tight standings Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

Following consecutive losses to the Amherstview Jets, the Picton Pirates have slipped to fourth-place tie with the Campbellford Rebels. The Pirates were riding a three-game winning streak heading into last Thursday's meeting with the Jets. While the Pirates kept it close, it was Amherstview taking the two points with 5–3 win. The teams met again on Sunday evening with the Jets taking a 5–2 decision. “There's good parity in the league and the standings are tight for a reason,” said Pirates coach and general manager Ryan Woodward. “It just goes to show you can't take a night off, and if you do, you're not going to win.” Woodward said he was disappointed the club wasn't able to pick up any points this week, but said there are still positive signs. “There are some things I'm not happy with and there's been some positive progression here,” he said. “We've got to stay positive and we're just taking things a day at a time.” While the Pirates had their chances in the early going on Thursday, it was the Jets striking first. Amherstview's Joey Mayer beat goaltender Brock Tufts 8:14 into the game from in tight. Behind 1–0, Picton continued to work hard and were rewarded with just 11 seconds left in the first when Brian Bunnett finished off a pass from Phil Smith. The teams opened the second period on even footing, but it didn't last long. Just 5:43 into the second Wyatt Crampton scored to put the Jets ahead. At 12:35 Cassidy Bruni scored to make it 3–1. While the play was mostly even through the

period — the Pirates held a 10–7 advantage in shots — the home team went into the third down by a pair. At 14:30 the Jets increased their lead with a Cody Smith power-play goal. The Pirates didn't lay down, though, as less than a minute later Picton captain Bunnett scored to cut into the lead. Miles Levtov and Mitch Burke had the assists. Less than a minute later Burke scored again to narrow the gap to 4–3. Levtov and Corey Farrell collected assists on the play. The Pirates pulled Tufts late to try to even the score, but Amherstview's Dorian Overland found the empty net to seal the 5–3 victory for the Jets. It was an inauspicious start for the Pirates on Sunday. Just one minute in it was Cosimo Morin putting the Jets ahead. The remainder of the period was scoreless as both teams played a tight game. Early in the second Amherstview's Ryan Hutchinson took a hooking penalty and it proved costly as Taylor Brown tallied on the ensuing man advantage with Liam Hunter and Bunnett picking up assists. However, the tie was short lived as Picton's Smith was assessed a roughing penalty less than a minute later. Zach Masterson scored on the power play to make it 2–1, 3:01 into the second. At 3:29 Brown was assessed a slashing penalty, and again the Jets capitalized with Brett Yake scoring on the power play at 3:54. The run to the penalty box continued, as the Jets' Hutchinson headed to the box with a pair of minors for cross checking and roughing. Austin Labelle scored on the power play to make it 3–2 and stop the Amherstview run. Hunter and Bunnett again had the assists. The Pirates weren't able to narrow the gap any further in the third.

H O R O S C O P E S

ARIES (Mar 21/Apr 20) Conflicting messages confuse you this week, Aries. Just don't let this confusion keep you from doing what you think is right. Choose a course and stick with it. TAURUS (Apr 21/May 21) Don't be too hard on yourself this week, Taurus. You really do not need to push yourself unless you are feeling motivated to do so. If you feel like relaxing, so be it. GEMINI (May 22/Jun 21) Gemini, stick to the outskirts of the room and be a quiet observer of what's going on around you instead of being the center of attention. You may enjoy being a fly on the wall for a change. CANCER (Jun 22/Jul 22) Cancer, this week you may feel an unusual need to be noticed and appreciated by others. Embrace the spotlight and make the most of this opportunity to share your thoughts. LEO (Jul 23/Aug 23) Leo, you may find it hard to establish your priorities this week, but you have a good head on your shoulders and will figure out the path to take. Give yourself a chance to have fun. VIRGO (Aug 24/Sept 22) Virgo, do the right thing even if it costs you something emotionally. Your actions may be carefully monitored, and someone is learning by your example.

LIBRA (Sept 23/Oct 23) Libra, try your hardest to make a tricky set of circumstances work to your advantage. Working with a partner is a great way to get things done. SCORPIO (Oct 24/Nov 22) Scorpio, you are better at dealing with things when they're out in the light of day. You don't like to be secretive, nor do you like the idea of others keeping secrets. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23/Dec 21) Sagittarius, do not look at a current problem as something that will always block your success and happiness. Instead, use this obstacle as a way to get your bearings. CAPRICORN (Dec 22/Jan 20) Capricorn, though you may feel like lashing out at others, this week you show an impressive amount of self-restraint. Get through the week, and things will turn around. AQUARIUS (Jan 21/Feb 18) The messages you are receiving from everyone around you seem mottled and mixed, Aquarius. Instead of socializing with others, maybe you just need some alone time. PISCES (Feb 19/Mar 20) Pisces, speak up if you do not feel you are receiving enough emotional support from your closest allies. Maybe they do not know how you're feeling.

will be another tight game," he said. "(The Panthers) don't feel like the underdogs, even though we're a bit of an underdog from the seeding. They play a 1-3-1 zone. The first time we saw it, the girls didn't understand what it was, let alone how to play against it." Garden said he planned to have his team practice an offence designed to counter that zone on Tuesday prior to the game. Mastering it would be key as the winner of that contest would move into COSSA competition. They'd also earn the right to play the St. Theresa Titans in today's semifinal, but that would be no easy contest as the top-ranked team has been beating all their opponents by wide point spreads throughout the Bay of Quinte Conference campaign.

Stifling defence, scoring depth keys as team moves into quarter-finals AdAm BrAmBurger Staff writer

While they didn't want to look too far ahead of the St. Paul Falcons Monday, the PECI Junior Basketball Panthers were hoping to turn a few heads with their performance. After finishing the regular season with a 44-32 performance against the Falcons last Thursday,the Panthers decided they could put together a better effort to open the playoffs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and that's exactly what they did. PECI stifled St. Paul's offence during the first half as they opened up a 22point lead by the break and they advanced easily on the strength of a 48-20 decision. "I think after the first game, our girls felt they didn't play as well as they could have. They had something to prove. They wanted to win on their home court and send a message going into the game on Wednesday," said Panthers head coach Rob Garden. Garden indicated that while his team maintained a similar game plan, he said they recognized their opponents well and slightly changed their defensive systems to limit the Falcons' chances to penetrate the key by standing off their checks a little bit. They closed in gaps on the shooters well and gave up stingy point totals of two, four, and one through the first three quarters. "We understood their key players and were able to shut them down better than we did last week," he said. "It's about doing what you do well and not doing

too much." Offensively, the Panthers have prided themselves on balanced secondary scoring throughout the year and they got that effort yet again as 12 of 13 players scored. While Vanessa Willis again led the Panthers in scoring with 15 points, she only had two in the first half as the Panthers built their lead. The scoring was spread out as Hannah Smith and Lydia Snider each put up six points and Leah Matthews had five. Garden

indicated he's pleased with the way the offence has developed. "At the beginning of the year, we knew Vanessa would get hers and it was just a matter of whether or not we could get the other kids scoring. It's been a process. This is our 23rd game and some of them are starting to figure it out and get the confidence they

need," he said. "To score (almost) 50 points in junior ball is really good." Ainsley MacDonald led the Falcons with 10 points in a losing effort. On the heels of a sixthplace regular season finish and their win Monday, the Panthers advanced to play the Centre Hastings Centurions in a road contest Wednesday after press

While the Junior Panthers managed two wins against St. Paul in the past week, the seniors werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so fortunate, falling to the Falcons 46-38 Thursday and officially missing the post-season. One bright spot in the disappointing finish was the play of Danielle Willis, who scored 26 points in her final Panthers game. Hayley Van Rossum was the next highest-scoring Panther in the contest as she put in five points.

Cook shows skills in first two games

Goaltender decides to focus on work

PIRATES, from page 25

Adam Alcorn scored at 6:01 and Overland scored on the empty net at 17:20 finish off the contest. Woodward said there are players who need to step up their games, but the club also has to find a way to round out the roster and add some depth in the near future. “We ran out of gas a little bit. We've been running a short bench and that's our own fault — there's nobody to blame but ourselves,” he said. “Whether it's injuries or work or school, we're behind the eight-ball before we even get started.” He said once the team is able to add some depth, he believes the team will be able to compete with any-

one. “We've shown that with our past results,” he said. The team also has to contend with the departure of goaltender Andrew Pearson, who announced he was leaving the club last week. Woodward said Pearson is leaving to focus on work commitments. “Andrew has been a big part of what we've done here in Picton over the last few years,” said Woodward. “It's disappointing to

see him leave. I know his teammates were upset to see him go, but he's at a stage in his life where he has to focus on his apprenticeship.” The club squares off with the Napanee Raiders in a home-and-home series this week. The Pirates take on the Raiders tonight at the Prince Edward Community Centre before trekking to Napanee on Tuesday. Puck drop for both contests is 7:30 p.m.

Wellington got the offence cranked up in the second and took a lead they would never relinquish. Girduckis set up McKeown at 8:02 of the middle stanza to knot the score 1-1. Then Girduckis took over, notching a pair of power-play goals in the last half of the second period. Orangeville, second place in the West Division and winners of their three of their last four, couldn't get back into the game after Wellington asserted some special teams dominance in the second and third periods. “This was a more scramble game on the road and they had won three of four and beat good teams (Kingston, Georgetown) in doing so,” Abrams said. Our power play, which has been up and down, propelled it us to the win, it was the difference.” Jacob Panetta's point blast at 7:41 while on the

man advantage in the third doubled Wellington's lead to 4-2. Nick Devito added a goal later in the frame and, despite a late Orangeville goal, Wellington cruised to the win with Devito setting up Marco Azzano for an empty netter.

GREAT MONTH

Girduckis had a great weekend, picking up four points in two games and was named at Dukes player of the month for October. Earlier this month, the club announced Girduckis had accepted a scholarship offer to play at the Rochester Institute of Technology next season. “He's had a whale of a month,” Abrams said of Wellington's leading scorer (24 points). “He's delivered on all fronts, he's strong on both sides of the puck and you can't ask for anything more. He's a great leader for this team.” Will Cook suited up for

his first two games of the season and picked up three assists. The Port Stanley native was slick moving through traffic Friday night and Wellington may have found a player to operate the half wall to perfection during power plays. “He's exactly as advertised,” Abrams added. “He's a leader and his puck skills are strong. He hadn't played in 4-5 days coming and I thought he played well. He's happy to be here and happy to have him.” Wellington can make some hay against conference opponents as they host Cobourg on Friday and travel to Newmarket on Sunday. '’Round the 'Roc: Taylor Welsh stopped 28 of 30 shots Saturday night while Lefreniere had 38 stops Friday...Supryka had three points against the Rangers as the trio of him, Brown and Azzano were flying, scoring three of Wellington's four goals.

He indicated Books & Company has done well to turn itself into a central meeting place in the county, while Zest Kitchen Shop's owners Jenny and Kyle Otsuka overcame risks to move here from Toronto, retrofit an old laundromat, and operate a successful business in a new market in a short time. David Sweet, who coowns Books & Company with Alexandra Bake and Barbara Burns-Sweet said their win goes back a few months to when they found out they had received a nomination. They had Kate McNaughton, a staff member with a flair for writing fill out their supporting documents, and then they kind of forgot about it. "It was a very nice honour to win that award. I think it was a surprise to us. Out of the blue, we heard we won," Sweet said. He indicated he understood the award came because the store does more than sell books. "In the age of big box stores, we've been able to retail books and other products and survive, but it's also the things we're doing in addition to that. We're hosting events and not our events," he said. "A book store tends to be a meeting place for people anyway, and our advantage is that we have that extra space where we're able to stage events and have a community space." Sweet said the Lipson Room above the retail space has been used for a wide range of events like Art in the County and the Clic photo show, jazz festival concerts, political debates, and even a high school play. He notes it is regularly in demand for community functions â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and all that helps bring people into the store, too. While the adjoining Miss Lily's Cafe may be a separate business in name, Sweet said it adds to that meetingplace atmosphere and even offers a space for smallgroup gatherings and meetings. He also credits his staff for making the store inviting. "It's the staff who, I feel, on a day-to-day basis make it happen. Many customers have favourite staff members and they're not just getting together with friends,they're coming in to chat with a favourite staff member. They also like to visit the cat. Pushkin has a loyal following," he said. Sweet said he believes the award will help the store gain exposure. "We're trying to let it be known outside the count that we're here and this is what we can provide," he said. "There's no independent in Belleville and some people don't want to shop in a big box store. I think this will spread awareness." Already, Sweet said he had a school librarian from Belleville call him to say she read about the award and was inviting Books & Company to do a book fair at the school. He said they'll do that and look to do more. Otherwise, Sweet said the store's format, which includes a mix of new and

old books some thought was odd when it opened eight years ago, is working, though they're always looking for new ideas and products to stay current. Jenny Otsuka was present at the awards ceremony to hear her business called. She said the presenter alluded to the obstacles that Zest Kitchen Shop had to overcome in the past two-and-ahalf years to be established. She said she thinks their success comes from an effort to serve all of the customers it can. "It's a desire for our shop to really not only do the best we can over the busy summer months to do well as a business, but also to stock items in the store locals will want and meet the needs of our neighbours and the folks who will support us yearround." Some of those staple items may involve things like baking kits that tourists likely won't have much need for. While no new business is easy, Otsuka said she feels the gamble she and Kyle made paid off. "It feels like a long journey, but at the same time, looking back it has gone quickly. It's very gratifying, we made the big move from Toronto to the county in search of a different kind of life and to start this business and put everything into it takes a lot of intestinal fortitude, so to speak. We've had some scary days and nights, but it's very gratifying to see us come this far," she said. "We really couldn't be happier to be honest." Otsuka says the store has found loyal, returning customers who come back regularly and have built a rapport with its staff. They represent both local residents and visitors. To keep developing the business, Otsuka said she's looking to expand the workshops Zest offers to give people some skills and tips to help them work in their kitchens and maybe learn about different products. In September,they hosted a knife skills workshop and it was well received. Other hands-on activities will allow Zest to connect with its customers and also rely on local culinary experts and help them in the off-season. Otsuka said she is hopeful that her success and Books & Company's will benefit not just their stores, but the local economy in general. "I'm really hoping this will give people another reason to visit the county. It's not just about them visiting my shop, I'm hoping they walk down the entire street, visit the wineries, and eat at a restaurant," she said. "My husband and I still pinch ourselves. We feel lucky to live in this county. To be recognized for what we do is just amazing." McLeod said eight county businesses were nominated this year. Some others received nominations and did not choose to enter the competition, which is the only one of its kind in Ontario encompassing several municipal chambers across a region. The county will host the awards again in 2016.
