Turbine opponents vow to continue fighting projects Rally culminates with symbolic chain around Mt. Tabor ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER
Sunday afternoon about 200 people joined hand-to-hand and circled the outside of Mt. Tabor Playhouse in Milford to show an attitude of togetherness and defiance. Some wore shirts with photos of turtles or birds, others waved placards, and collectively some started to chant. However they chose to share it, their message was clear: It is not time to give up the fight to keep the county’s south shore clear of the proposed industrial wind turbines they find damaging. The display was the culminating point of a rally organized by the Alliance to Protect Prince Edward County (APPEC) and the organizers expected to ensure people saw their demonstration. “It will be very powerful today if we can join hands around or in front of Mt. Tabor facing defiantly outward,” said APPEC member Elizabeth Driver, noting the photo would be forwarded to the provincial ministers responsible for culture, the environment, and natural resources and to Premier Kathleen Wynne “who should be doing better.”

The tone of the rally that afternoon was very much one of frustration and dismay at the way the province has handled the industrial wind file and pushed appeals through on the Ostrander Point and White Pines wind projects, which would see 36 turbines erected on the county’s south
shore. Local opinion columnist and publisher Steve Campbell acted as master of ceremonies. He stated that he’s written thousands of words about industrial wind from many different angles, but he kept coming back to two main concerns — a removal of democratic rights and the
notion of selecting a wrong location. Campbell made a provocative point at the start of the rally, stating the Green Energy Act which governs the terms of installation of renewable energy projects is discriminatory. “If you take the words ‘rural Ontario residents and
municipalities’ out of the act and replace it with ‘black people’, it reads like this… The provincial government will come into your black community and we will build whatever we want wherever we want, as tall as we want and close as we want. The black people in your community will have

no opportunity to object. Further to that, no black people will be allowed at the table for planning, development, and implementation of this legislation.” Campbell said obviously no government would push forward that type of legislation discriminating against an identifiable group, but felt Wynne’s government has had no problem doing something similar to rural residents of the province. “If you put back in rural Ontario residents and municipalities, you realize the Green Energy Act is a discriminatory document,” he said. “It discriminates against the people of rural Ontario and is forged by urban dwellers who are enormous consumers with huge appetites for power and who have no reason to conserve their energy as long as we continue to supply it.” Campbell continued that the argument isn’t about green energy as some prowind letter writers have argued. Instead, it’s a matter of locating them appropriately. Instead, he compared them to the literary character Chicken Little, running around complaining the sky is falling and looking for a solution to climate change, even if it’s outdated, intermitted technology that does not create jobs.

During the annual Veteran’s Day ceremony at Glenwood Cemetery Saturday there were six new gravestones decorated with Canadian flags and poppies. Cemetery chair Sandy Latchford explained the Commonwealth War Graves Commission had visited the Picton burial grounds this year and it decided to replace the stones marking the graves of a halfdozen British Commonwealth Air Training Plan pilots who had died while flying training missions over the county. “They came in, replaced the headstones and brought them up to their new standard. They’re in place here and they look lovely,” Latchford said of the stones, which are uniform and adorned with flower beds. Royal Canadian Legion Branch 78 chaplain Rev. Bill Kidnew led a special prayer asking for God to bless those graves, “may they ever mark the burial places of those brave young men who gave their lives while training bombers in Prince Edward County.” The annual ceremony,

He said he was particularly interested, however, in Glenwood being different than many other veterans cemeteries that he’s had the opportunity to visit — ones that have been dedicated entirely to soldiers who had fallen in combat.

Shane Ronalds, the deputy logistics officer for 8Wing Trenton, said he wanted to reiterate the day was one of celebrating those who wore the uniform and fought for their country and the ideals it holds. “It is a celebration for lives that were lost and lives that were lived,” he said. “As I gaze around the cemetery and up on the hill, I know there are over 300 veterans lying here in peace.

Taste appetizing for vendors, guests Festival showcases about 70 local food, beverage producers ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER
Offering its 14th helping Saturday, the Taste Community Grown festival still managed to provide a fresh helping of creative cuisine for the thousands of people through the gate. About 70 vendors from within 100 kilometres offered their wares in the Crystal Palace and in a series of tents set out under clear skies as past of the event, which is organized through the collaboration of the Prince Edward County Winegrowers Association, the County's community development department, and a host of community partners and sponsors. While the festival attracted people from across Ontario and Quebec, some local people also wandered out to the Picton Fairgrounds for a taste of what was available. Kirk Reynolds decided he'd be among them this year after taking the advice of his wife Debbie, who enjoyed the day out with one of her friends a few years ago. "This was my first time. My nephew and his girlfriend were coming down, so we thought let's go to Taste, have some fun, and see what there is to offer," he said. "We've done wine tours many times in the county, we know most of the wineries and restaurants. Let's come down here and see the ones we haven't been to. It's been really good." Reynolds said he operated a bed-and-breakfast for a couple of years and Taste offers people in that business a chance to know where to send people throughout the year. "This is huge for the county. It's advertisements on the radio, it's advertisements in the papers. It really expands on what Prince Edward County has to offer." Aleisha Denton, of Whitby, took a similar approach to the festival. "I'm a seasoned foodie, so I had to come out and see if there was anything I was

missing," she said. Denton indicated Taste was awesome as always. She said she enjoyed the pulled pork sundae being offered by County Gourmet and some of the new sauces exhibiting restaurants were exhibiting. Still, however, she felt a few of the classic Taste offerings were still worth devouring. "The Black River Cheese was perfect as always," she said. "Sometimes you find the old favourites and you just have to stick with those." Her partner Ryan DeRoche had simpler reasons for returning this year. "Food, booze, and sunshine are my favourite things," he said. "We come every year.
The vendors also enjoy coming back to the Crystal Palace show. John Squair, the winemaker and owner at Three Dog Winery said he went through all the wine he had available for sampling this year and he was almost out of the bottles he brought along for people to purchase. "It's a great event every year. It brings a lot of people to the area. I've talked to people from Caledon, Barrie, and Stoney Creek. It's great bringing people in for an opportunity to taste a pile of wineries and restaurants all in one place. It saves everyone from driving around to try."

orange shirt day at its schools and offices. A version of some of the shirts emblazoned with the words 'Protecting', 'Support' and 'Honouring' that board staff would be wearing were on display at the board’s monthly meeting in Belleville Monday evening. Orange shirt day is designed to be held annually in recognition of the harm the residential school system did to children's sense of selfesteem and wellbeing and as an affirmation of the commitment to ensure that all lives matter. At public schools in the Quinte area, students and staff were invited to wear an orange shirt and it's hoped by national organizers that this act would set the stage for further anti-bullying and antiracism work. Orange shirt day is a legacy of the St. Joseph Mission (SJM) Residential School (1891-1981) Commemoration Project and Reunion event that took place in Williams Lake, B.C., in May 2013. Board chair Dwayne Inch explained that residential school survivor Phyllis Webstad shared at that event how, at the age of six, her brand new shiny orange shirt was taken away from her the day she arrived at the Mission school.

and Tyendinaga Trustee Michael Brant display an Orange Shirt that some local school board staff members were wearing Wednesday as part of orange shirt day. (Jason Parks/Gazette staff)
“From that moment on, the colour orange came to represent pain, loss and trauma for Webstad. She was haunted by that colour for the rest of her life,” an emotional Inch told fellow trustees. Today, the orange shirt that once was associated with loss of belonging and self-worth is becoming a symbol of recognition and honour to those people who attended the Residential Schools.

Mandy Savery-Whiteway added the movement also serves as a sign of commitment to ensure that every child matters. This date at the end of September was chosen because this was the time of year when First Nations children would be rounded up and shipped to institutions of assimilation where Canadian culture was reinforced and aboriginal traditions were pushed aside. Tyendinaga Trustee Michael Brant said we have finally reached a very important time in Canadian history where everyone can look back and better understand “some of the not-so-great things that have taken place with the First Nations people.” “It has been a very traumatic and difficult period for our people since the residential school program,” he said. The trustee added that the after effects of the residential school program are with the First Nation to people to varying degrees. “I think its important to recognize that this is a part of the history of Canada and acknowledge there needs to be a way of bringing these things to a more positive point,” Brant said. “It seems like it was education that let us down and there now can be hope that education can bring us back to where we need to be.”

COMMENTARY Public input important piece in ending talks on council size
LAST Thursday, the County opened the doors for a public consultation session on council size reform in its largest urban centre to just a couple dozen people, many of whom familiar faces at other sites on the municipality’s tour across its geographic footprint already. That after Mayor Robert Quaiff bemoaned the lack of interest in the process the week before at Shire Hall. One has to wonder why the spectre of public participation in this discussion remains dismal. One consideration could be that residents of this County are still disillusioned and skeptical of the process. A previous plebiscite poll on election day received an overwhelming amount of support for reconsideration. Following that, however, the previous council held a series of meetings on the topic and ultimately decided it wasn’t going to move forward to implement the change many indicated they wanted. It became an election issue last fall. A number of prospective voters said they’d remember the failed process while casting ballots. Others, no doubt, were put off by the system and didn’t cast a ballot. Some, too, may have been put off by the notion that there are only four options on the table when their input might lead to a better hybrid solution. Then, there are other voices who would suggest the turnout at these meetings is an indication to council that many residents are simply happy with the status quo. They argue residents don’t really see the need to put time and energy into making a major change, particularly if a reduction in seats around the horseshoe doesn’t result in any significant savings off their tax bills. We would expect to see this argument presented again if council decides to move forward with one of the three new options on the basis of few answers provided. Another way of approaching the lack of interest in these meetings is that it is simply a poor time of year. Children are back in school, most sporting and social
activities are back in swing for the new year, the county has be inundated with festivals and fairs, and beyond that, the federal election is likely at front of mind for those who are engaged because it is more immediate and more timely. In a difficult enough environment to get people involved in civic affairs, it appears this process had a number of strikes against it going in — and regardless of one’s viewpoint about municipal restructuring, each of those theories probably rings true for some people the County was hoping to hear from during this process. The shame of that for this council and for people who genuinely believe there is a chance to address this situation and move forward as a united municipality is that it is hard to evaluate public opinion without an adequate sample size to decisively act before the next election. Clearly, people have grown weary about rehashing ward boundaries, proportional representation, renumeration, and political ideologies time and again and a number would like to just see the debate go away. Before it can, however, the municipality needs to hear from the public. Regardless of the faith they may or may not have in council, residents must give clear direction to their elected staff about the way they’d like to see this County governed. If they do so and council fumbles the ball or drags the process on, then those councillors will deserve the scorn that comes there way. If they don’t, expect lingering questions to fester from both sides of the ongoing argument. Giving input doesn’t require residents to speak or even to physically go to a meeting to hear more. The County extended the deadline for residents to complete a short survey detailing their viewpoints on the matter. That survey is available online at www.surveymonkey.com/r/SizeofCouncil or at municipal libraries. Please fill out a survey and help bring some closure to the discussion.

Harper may have deserved votes years ago, but not now
This area is traditionally a safe seat for Conservative federal candidates. Even though we are within the new Bay of Quinte riding, proliferation of signs for the Tory candidate suggests things have not changed much. I'd like to address those many voters who, almost as a reflex, choose Conservative in federal elections. Probably you know the saying "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." In his decade's tenure as Prime Minister, Stephen Harper has worked to make his power absolute, crushing dissent and alternative opinions, even in his own caucus. And the result should be clear — this
Emperor now longer has the clothes he was elected to wear. The "early" Harper ran on promises of less government spending, good financial management, and more accountability and transparency in government. If you look objectively at the facts, he has kept almost none of those commitments. After inheriting a Liberal surplus, he put the country into deficit within two years, and has run a deficit every year since. This year, his famous "balanced budget" would not exist without maneuvers like extracting a billion from the E.I. surplus. Lots of governments run deficits, but Harper is also
deceptive in his budgeting. During the G20 debacle, funds were moved, probably illegally, from border security to porkbarrel projects in Tony Clement's riding. Several times, Harper has committed spending for what sounded like great causes — veterans' affairs, the environment, job stimulus for unemployed youth -- and then not spent the money, instead returning it to pay down the deficit. Then there's the over three billion dollars in spending that the auditor general said the government could not account for. I don't know about you, but when I leave three billion dollars around my house, I look hard for it. It's also not true that he
has minimized all government expenses. The reality is that he has done so only to causes that are "not on his radar." He spent a million to air freight his own limousine to India and back. While slashing many social, scientific, research and arts programs, the Prime Minister's Office public relations budget has climbed as high as $263 million a year. If he is doing such a good job as PM, why spend all that money to remind us? On the issues of transparency and secrecy, Harper became the first Commonwealth leader found in contempt of Parliament for failing to release information to MPs. His giant omnibus "budget"
bills hide many measures that have nothing to do with budgeting. If you enjoy the fishing and boating opportunities of Quinte, remember this — one of his omnibus bills renamed eight lakes and waterways as "tailing ponds" for resource extraction. His office has become notorious for efforts to subject problems to a cone of silence, including the whole Senate expenses scandal. Harper might have deserved your votes ten years ago. Now? I ask that you look carefully at his record, compared with his promises, before you send another Tory MP to Ottawa. John Oughton Bloomfield
Canadians need federal government that will be leader on health
The 2014 Health Accord that prescribes funding and health care service delivery to the provinces and territorial governments expired in March. The federal government has refused to renegotiate and has ignored calls from the provinces and territories to work on a deal and shockingly announced $36 billion in further cuts that will come into effect after this election. Medicare used to be funded through a 50-50 cost-sharing plan between the federal
government, provinces and territories. Today, the provinces cover 80 per cent of health-care costs which will increase when the federal government's funding cuts are implemented in its 20162017 budget, should they remain in power. The interpretation of the equalization of transfer payments has been changed so that it is now based on the numbers of people in the provinces versus its needs. Pharmacare, saving mil-
lions by bulk purchasing drugs and negotiating lower prices needs to have the federal government at the table but the feds are wanting to retreat from medicare and would rather allow privatization (monies going to the one per cent through the newest trade deal which will jeopardize not only our health care but our education and prisons systems among many other things. Without federal leadership, public health care is los-
ing its national cohesion, assuring us of comprehensive, portable, universal, accessible health care. Conversations with premiers reveal that it's clear they're worried about making too much noise and suffering further cuts to the Canada Social Transfer, which helps pay for social services and education, employment insurance and other programs. We need to vote in this election for a party that will take responsibility for health
care expenditures, the creation of national standards and the expansion of public health care into new areas such as pharmacare, home and community care, dental and mental health care for everyone, particularly our vets and we especially need a prime minister who will talk, negotiate, compromise and involve itself with our premiers. Don't you want this kind of government too? Lynne Rochon
Oil drilling near large grey seal breeding colony must be stopped
Stephen Harper is approving many things before the election such as selling off CBC buildings but even more damaging he has given Shell permission to drill for oil off the coast of Nova Scotia.
This is near the Sable Island National Park Reserve, with the world's largest breeding colony of grey seals. This is a risky proposition at best and with the 21-day span to cap a blowout is downright
criminal. Only the Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Petroleum Board (CNSOPB can stop this now.; but it has a long time Shell executive, Douglas Gregory appointed by the Conservatives, on the
board. This is corporate cronyism at its worst. The CNSOPB should reject Shell's application and put preserving Canada's coast above this seriously flawed application. For more information

It might seem like a tall order that Queen Elizabeth School's new principal spent most of his career as an educator at the secondary level, but Paul Pickard has faced bigger adjustments recently. While serving as viceprincipal of PECI in spring 2014, Pickard announced that he and his wife Gayle Miller would be selling their home and teaching in Trinidad for the 2014-2015 year. They left that August on a 13-hour flight to the South American country where they would live in Diego Martin, a suburb of the capital Port of Spain and teach at the Maple Leaf School, a private Kindergarten to Grade 12 school where Pickard had a chance to renew his love of learning. "One of the really nice things was that I was able to teach in the classroom. I hadn't done that in a long time and I enjoyed every second of it," he said. The experience allowed Pickard to discover what teaching methods worked effectively and how individual students reacted. He worked to cater his teaching to their learning styles, approaching subjects like science and math from different angles in attempts to reach different learners. "I was trying to be a better teacher every day. It was not just discovering how to teach, but discovering what the students really needed and how to make every day better for them." Living in a different country also provided an opportunity to learn and to grow. Pickard learned the people there were about 40per-cent Indian, 40-per-cent African, and the rest was a mix of cultures. The multiculturalism was a surprise. It was nice, he said, that English was spoken, but local slang proved to be a challenge. Driving also took special effort as everyone drove on the left and there were three-to-four times as many cars as on Canadian roads. Pickard described his experience as "aggressivedefensive" driving. He was pleased to return home to the luxury of local roads. Pickard also found that though Trinidad was a fairly modern country, customer service was fairly poor. In reflecting on that, he really focused in on the concept of service for students whether it meant showing students a trick he could do with his computer or finding specific ways to help. He enjoyed some of the other lessons learned through coaching soccer — a very popular sport there, hiking the mountainous terrain, experiencing local cui-

sine, or travelling a distance to see leatherback turtles lay their eggs. "It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience to see the scope of nature around you," he said. On July 4, Pickard and Miller came back empowered by their experiences. Not long after, he received word that he'd be going to Queen Elizabeth School this fall. "I was a little surprising. I hadn't expected it — but I'm intrigued and very excited because of the learning possibilities. When it comes down to it, kids are kids, teachers are teachers, and schools are schools. How we support students is fundamentally the same. We focus on learning." Carrying those same questions he asked himself at the Maple Leaf School forward, Pickard said he's looking to build a culture that focuses on learning for both students and teachers. A culture that isn't afraid to ask what staff members are doing, what students needs, and how do they collectively work with the support they have to find success. Early on, the principal said he's been enthused by what he has experienced. "Over the past three weeks, I've seen countless examples of teachers working hard trying to solve even one student's needs. They're not willing to give up, they're persisting." Pickard said at PECI there was a real focus of learning and celebrating not just what the students have accomplished, but also what the teachers have learned themselves. He said sometimes it's easy to lose sight of that. Instead, it should be celebrated and he hopes that will carry over. He's tried to visit as
many different classrooms as he can and meet as many of the teachers and 235 students as he can at Queen Elizabeth. Pickard said he's discovered working with younger students can be a treat and worries about connecting with them haven't been an issue. "You just have to show them you care," he said. Pickard and vice-principal Tonia Shelmerdine have introduced a simple motto for all involved with the school to understand the focus this year: "Safe. Respectful. Learners." "It's simple enough, everyone gets it," Pickard said. Students across all ages have learned the idea of safety. They're learning about having respect for one another, their teachers and community. With those two elements in place, they're able to focus on learning. Just as he experienced at PECI, Pickard said he has seen incredible community support from Day 1 at Queen Elizabeth. Many teachers, front office staff, caretakers and parents can related because they're part of that community. Nine local agencies set up at an open house barbecue last week and a number of students volunteered their time to help. He said that support goes a long way to creating the type of environment that students can succeed in. "Every day we see challenges and we see parents bringing their kids to school despite those challenges," he said. "One of our roles as a school is to connect them with the resources available. Challenges exist anywhere, because this is a small community we see them. We applaud every parent who brings their child to school. This is a place where learning will be our focus."

County may assume Wellers Lane Staff report suggests action would be contrary to existing policy CHAD IBBOTSON
WHATTAM’S COMMUNITY CALENDAR
STAFF WRITER
The County could be assuming Wellers Lane in response to residents' concerns about a lack of winter maintenance. Councillors voted at last week's committee-of-thewhole meeting in favour of a motion to assume Wellers Lane as is. The motion says the 350-metre-long gravel lane would require upgrades to the turnaround constructed at the end of lands owned by the county at the cost of the landowners. The motion applied to the lane a Class 6 designation under the municipality's Minimum Maintenance Standards policy and a Level 3 designation under the County's Winter Control Standards policy. A road assumption bylaw will be required to assume and open the road and the municipality will maintain a one foot reserve. Local speed and traffic signage will have to be posted and Wellers Lane would be renamed Wellers Road to conform with emergency numbering protocols. The motion still has to be approved at council's next meeting on Oct. 13. Councillor Janice Maynard supported the assumption of the lane, saying the situation is an oddity. “This is not actually a private road anymore, but a county-owned road that is not assumed,” she said. She said the lane is in reasonably good shape and the municipality has made allowance for such roads to be assumed in the past. Councillor Jamie Forrester said he's sure there are a lot of residents in the county who live on private lanes and would want the municipality to assume the roads. “I feel sympathetic for the residents of Wellers Lane, but if we're going to be making a policy change today I'm definitely going to be talking to some people in my area who have talked to me in the past and saying 'hey, we're now open for business,'” he said. Wellers Lane resident Ray Patterson has been advocating on behalf of residents of the lane for the municipality to take over winter control. He said residents have contributed taxes, but believe they get less service than the average resident. “Our contributions have been continuous through taxation and other fees and charges,” he said. He said “certainly there's an implication that we are to

be provided services that other residents within the county receive.” In October 2014 Patterson requested the County assume the road. At that time council asked staff to provide a report. That report came back to councillors in August, but was deferred to last week. Staff recommended that the road be assumed only if a majority of property owners on the land indicated a willingness to have the County do the upgrades at the cost of the property owners. The report says staff estimate the cost to upgrade Wellers Lane to a tar and chip surface and to construct the turnaround at $200,000. “We believe the $200,000 is absolutely not required to be spent by any party including us,” said Patterson. Patterson said lane residents don't believe there's any parallel between their issue and other subdivision issues. The report says Wellers Lane is part of an unassumed Ameliasburgh subdivision constructed in 1976 that was originally planned to include 37-lot seasonal cottages. The subdivision agreement between the developer and the former Township of Ameliasburgh provided for
the construction of the public road system to the township's standards prior to their assumption. That subdivision was never completed, but the report says the subdivision agreement “is binding upon the successors and assigns including all aspects of constructing Wellers Lane as a public road prior to assumption by the county.” The report says since 1991 the lane has been treated and signed as a private road to be maintained by the local lot owners. The report says staff and the municipality's solicitor believe that agreeing to the request would be contrary to the County's road assumption policy and “would set a poor precedent for subdivision development or other private road assumption requests.” Engineering, development, and works commissioner Robert McAuley reaffirmed that stance last Thursday. “The principle is one of either the agreements that say the residents who are directly benefitting from the work are responsible to pay if no one else is, and that happens before we assume it on the public purse,” said McAuley. “Or, that policy in practice does not mean anything.”
Council supports sales by the glass at breweries
Any local breweries seeking to sell their products by the glass could soon have the full support of the municipality. At last week's committeeof-the-whole meeting councillors voted in favour of a motion to support the application of any breweries in the county to sell and serve beer by the glass for consumption on their property.
A report presented to councillors at the meeting says a brewery recently approached staff regarding the application process. The report says the municipality has more than one brewery in operation and previously provided a motion of support to Barley Days Brewery. Staff recommended the blanket support motion to
serve beer by the glass to keep in line with a blanket motion adopted by council in 2007 for wineries to sell and serve wine by the glass. Only breweries holding a manufacturer's licence are eligible to apply to sell beer by the glass, the report says. -Chad Ibbotson, Staff

Ad-hoc traffic committee created to discuss problems relating to summer volume Group of up-to-five councillors would brainstorm ideas about flow of vehicles near East and West lake and identify priorities for action CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER
Summer traffic woes were at the root of a motion calling for the creation of an ad-hoc council committee last week. Committee of the whole approved the motion last Thursday with several councillors noting various issues related to the influx of traffic in the summer. If approved by council at their Oct. 13 meeting, the adhoc traffic committee would be convened to discuss
problems related to the high volume of traffic during the peak summer months in the East and West lakes area. The motion identifies problems relating but not limited to; increased congestion, safety, accessibility for property owners to access their property entrances, speeding and erratic driving and cyclists. The ad-hoc committee would include a maximum of five councillors including one from Picton, one from Hallowell, one from Athol, one from South Marysburgh and one at
large. Councillor Jamie Forrester tabled the motion, saying a group has to sit down and discuss all of the issues, which he said “boiled over” this summer. “This is huge,” he said. “Right now we don't even know what all the issues are. This is basically to put a small group of people together to start brainstorming and writing everything down.” He said eventually he'd like to see the committee work with other organiza-
tions like OPP and Quinte Conservation to address the various concerns that are brought to light by the adhoc committee. “The initial job for this ad-hoc group would be just start writing things down, identifying areas and maybe putting priorities,” he said. “It's not setting direction, it's not looking for expert advice right now. That's way down the road. This is just to start identifying problems and we all have ideas.” Forrester said the ad-hoc
committee could compile a list of problem areas, saying he believes there could be hundreds of identifiable problems. He said without intervention the problems could get worse. “Some of the residents right beside the provincial park, they can't even get to their homes on the weekends,” he said. “There are issues with farmers not being able to get their equipment out.” Councillor Steve Ferguson supported the motion.
“This past summer we have had much greater levels of traffic coming through the Milford area, particularly out to Long Point,” he said. He said he fully supported the creation of an ad-hoc committee. The problems are countywide, said councillor Janice Maynard. “Even in the northern sections if you try to make a left hand turn onto (Loyalist Parkway) it's virtually impossible,” she said.

I had a recent question about white spots on the visible side of the leaves of a lilac bush. The gardener wondered what he could do about this problem, as it appeared to be spreading. He also asked if it would kill the bush. Powdery mildew appears late in the season, generally from about mid-August onward. The leaves develop powdery white or gray patches that gradually spread on the individual leaves and from leaf to leaf. They can develop tiny dark brown or black dots. Leaves may become distorted and finally fall off. I suggested that he remove the diseased leaves both on the bush as well as those that had fallen to the ground. Given that it was the end of September, pruning of branches should be avoided even if it meant letting some leaves remain on the tree. Encouraging new growth by pruning would only leave the bush in a weakened state when winter comes. Once the leaves have fallen off, all of them should be removed as well and placed in the garbage as opposed to composting, whether there was any evidence of disease on all leaves or not. They could also be buried in a hole away from the garden. Lilacs are healthiest when grown in full sun. After blooming, as well as removing dead blooms, the plants can be pruned to open up

passages to allow air to move freely through the bush. Avoid fertilizers, particularly those rich in nitrogen including manure. It is preferable to use compost, either your own or that purchased from a nursery, which will enrich the soil sufficiently without encouraging powdery mildew. These efforts should decrease the chance that the bush will acquire the disease again. In fact, lilacs are one host that can often continue to do well even with powdery mildew. There are more than a thousand types of powdery mildew and they are all host specific. These fungal diseases are active throughout North America and the fungus spores can be carried by
the wind as well as by a plant brought into the garden. The fungus overwinters in the garden largely in the plant debris left there. Some types, such as the powdery mildew that attacks roses, can overwinter in the plant. The list of susceptible plants is large. Ornamentals include delphinium, hollyhocks, roses, phlox. zinnias and monarda. Some, such as phlox, now have cultivars that are resistant to powdery mildew. The suitable environment for the spread of the disease is late summer and early fall as the day/night temperature differences is supportive. The disease does not need water to flourish and humidity as low as 20 per cent is sufficient. In the spring, plants other than bushes should be spaced and staked so the air flows through. If the leaves begin to develop white spots, spraying the leaves including the undersides with water every two or three days may
control the spread. As well as water there are sprays that can be used including a commercial baking soda spray. Your nursery will know what sprays to use on ornamentals that will not impact negatively on the beneficial bugs in your garden. Do not spray when bees are hovering near by. Limiting the use of nitrogen fertilizers and avoiding overwatering also help to prevent the development and spread of this disease. And next year’s weather may be less supportive of the disease and your attempts to prevent or reduce the problem may have be more effective allowing you to relax your vigilance and simply enjoy your garden.

Support agencies promoting child abuse prevention this month Highland Shores Children’s Aid, Quinte Children’s Foundation organizing purple ribbon campaign and other awareness events during October CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER
Local support organizations are reminding residents that October is child abuse prevention month. Highland Shores Children's Aid manager of resources Dwayne Stacey and Quinte Children's Foundation executive director Connie Reid made a presentation to councillors at last
week's committee-of-thewhole meeting where they spoke of the importance of the cause. For the last two decades children's aid societies across Ontario have spread awareness about the community's role in the prevention of child abuse through October's Purple Ribbon Campaign. “Locally, Highland Shores Children's Aid and

the children's foundation partner together to create awareness of the role we can all play in protecting children in our communities,” said Stacey. He said a community is a large family and together residents can make a difference in the lives of children and youth who can't speak up for themselves. “Many times when people hear the term abuse, they really mostly think about sexual abuse, but abuse occurs across a wide range of forms such as physical, emotional harm, or neglect,” he said. “Abuse or neglect can happen in two ways — in acts of commission, doing something to a child — or an act of omission, not doing something for a child.” He said some signs of

abuse or neglect are easy to recognize, but many are not. He suggested residents who are concerned but unsure should contact the society. Stacey said child abuse can stem from a variety of causes such as alcohol and drug abuse, mental health issues, or poverty. He cited information released by Statistics Canada in 2013 regarding child poverty across Canada, noting that 18.4 per cent of children under the age of six lived on or below the poverty line. Numbers locally were higher for the most part, he said. Prince Edward County came in at 16.5 per cent, Belleville at 34.1 per cent, and Quinte West at 18 per cent. “When children understand they're special, that they have the right to be safe, they are less likely to think abuse is their fault and more likely to report an offender,” said Stacey. “So, it's really important for us all to help and support, to create that atmosphere to help them feel safe.” Reid said residents can show their support for Child Abuse Prevention Month by wearing purple and wearing a purple ribbon. Purple clothing and items can be purchased from the Quinte Children's Foundation to help support the cause. “Purple is our signature colour and we hope you will

Additionally, “go purple” hockey games are scheduled in Quinte West, Picton, Wellington, Cobourg, and Port Hope. The Wellington Dukes will go purple at home on Oct. 2 versus the Newmarket Hurricanes, while the Picton Pirates will support the cause on Oct. 15 versus the Port Hope Pan-
thers. Friday, Oct. 16 will be this year's “Go Purple Day” when residents are each asked to wear purple. “Our hope is that everyone will wear purple that day to support children and youth,” she said. Reid said wearing purple demonstrates support for the cause, but also gives encouragement and support to the children and youth who are served by the society.

Milford garden stimulates the senses Fragrant and tactile space designed for those who can’t see ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER
There’s an old expression “You have to see to believe it.” Ironically, that observation is somewhat apt for people trying to understand all the time and money Carolyn Lecker has put into developing her fragrant and tactile garden along County Rd. 17. That particular garden might not be the most visually pleasing for sighted people visiting the 28 gardenscapes at Lecker’s Black Walnut Gardens, but unlike most gardens it wasn’t designed to appeal specifically to that sense. On Sunday, Lecker hosted a celebration in the space she’s been developing since 2012 to mark the addition of braille signage near garden features. When one walks into the garden, there are several features designed to appeal to the sense of touch, of sound, and of hearing. One of those features is a herb wheel,where guests can run their hands over a variety of different plants to feel how they are to touch. After, they can smell their hands and enjoy different fragrances. There’s a water feature, which provides soothing sounds and there’s a play area where different rock beds and overturned flower pots with contrasting textures allow those without sight to play games like tic-tac-toe or checkers. The value of those areas was illustrated during the event Sunday when David and Anabela Globe visited from Belleville. Anabela had been blind since birth, while David lost his sight at age 4 due to a brain tumour. The married couple heard about the garden from Anabela’s music teacher and decided they wanted to experience what Lecker had to offer them. “We didn’t know what to expect, but she was just so excited to have us here,” said Anabela. “She arranged transportation for us.” David said Lecker told them they’d experience different scents and textures. “For someone who doesn’t get to smell that much, I thought if I could get something out of it, that’s a benefit,” he said. “ I wasn’t steered wrong.”
HEIGHTENED AWARENESS David and Anabele Globe, of Belleville, feel lavender plants and enjoy the aroma it creates at Black Walnut Gardens Sunday, Neither has the benefit of sight, so they rely on their other senses.(Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)
Both visitors were smiling wide as they ran their hands through a bed of lavender, then scooping up the aroma to their noses. “When we were rubbing our hands in the different plants, the smell was just out of this world. It was amazing,” David said. He added that when he walked into the garden, he immediately felt a sense of peace because of the silence around him. He heard insects buzzing around him and appreciated the light harp and flute music Lecker had arranged. “That’s the stuff I’d like to take home, the peace and the quietness. Living on Station Street is awfully noisy,” he said. David and Anabela had a very real awareness of their surroundings, noticing little touches like a lattice covering the games area that made some rock beds hotter to the touch than others. Asked about that keen awareness, David offered a simple explanation. “We pick up more than sighted people often do,” he said. “Sighted people us their eyes for almost everything and don’t pay as much attention to the other senses. We do, because we don’t have our eyes to distract us.” He said he was eager to delve into the garden more and explore the different textured plants Lecker has carefully selected for inclusion. Lecker said she’s had sighted visitors come to the
garden too — some machotype men who have done work at her home. She said they have a similar reaction when she can convince them to close their eyes and enjoy their senses. “There’s a big wow factor,” she said. Lecker said in some respects the garden offers an enforced calm in an age where people have so much input all around them. If they can release and focus on their senses, it can be a rewarding experience. Interestingly, she said children are also drawn to the garden because it inspires hands-on interaction. The Globes were convinced, with David stating “For us, it’s a blind nature lover’s version of paradise.” Anabela agreed and said the experience starts with the enthusiasm of their host. “It’s infectious. She just spreads it,” she said. They said they would return often. Lecker said she wishes that her neighbours could see people like the Globes experiencing her garden and give it a shot themselves. Maybe then, they’d understand why the former educator and journalist worked so tirelessly to create the space. “I think they’re missing out having not come here,” she said. “People come from all over the world to visit here, but they don’t cross the street. It’s a chance to experience something not planned and its fabulous.”

Women’s Institute branches play active role in communities Not long ago I had the privilege of being the guest speaker at a meeting of the Mountain View Women’s Institute. What a vital group of women with a broad range of interests and activities. Here’s a bit of information about the Women’s Institute, an organization that was established in Ontario in 1897. The Women’s Institute Mission Statement is “The Federation Women’s Institutes of Ontario (FWIO) is a non-profit charitable organization with affiliates around the world working with and for rural and urban women Debbie and their families. Through MacDonald Moynes the network of branches, we offer high quality education and support programs and services, advocate for social growth and empowerment and economic change, and of all women.” Women’s Institutes reach work towards the personal from the local branches to a worldwide network of women active in over 70 countries. There are seven local branches in Prince Edward County based in Cherry Valley, Consecon, Demorestville, Hillier, Mountain View, Rednersville and Wellington. Most were established in 1908. The branches of the Women’s Institute support many community agencies and they are involved with the national and international women’s organization. A major initiative of all local branches is supporting the Prince Edward specialized transit. Here’s a partial list of things that the Women’s Institutes were instrumental: having bread wrapped; having lines painted on our provincial highways; the use of fluorescent paint on railway cars, as well as railway crossing lights; garment labelling; putting music on school curriculums; flashing lights for school buses; the marking of poison products’

No consensus on best council model at Picton consultation session Meeting draws about 20 people to discuss four proposals CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER
Opinions remained divided as council wrapped up the second to last council size public consultation session last Thursday in Picton. Roughly 20 residents gathered in the Prince Edward Community Centre hall to listen as the merits of each of the three plans to address the issue were debated. While some remained staunch in their support of the status quo, others highlighted what they said were critical problems with the current system. Resident Rob Christie said past public consultations have proved that it's “not acceptable to maintain the current size of council.” He said it's also clear that council “must be reduced in size and restructured to become more effective.” “The current configuration is not effective as the overrepresentation of councillors to population leads to attention being over-provided to individual complainants,” he said. He said there has been a significant amount of time and money spent on the issue already. “The people of the county are not inclined to spend more on something that's taken so long to address and has cost so much,” he said. “That is,

there is no more stomach for more public consultation.” He said council has to make the change that residents “have been calling for for the last six years or more.” Ameliasburgh resident Kathy Vowinckel said through the years any motion to alter council size has been voted down. She questioned why the issue is back on the agenda. She said there are no financial benefits to downsizing and said urban areas carry much more weight in elections. She said in Prince Edward County's case that would mean much of the power is held in Picton and Ameliasburgh, the two wards with the highest populations.
“In the last two municipal elections the bulk of he councillors would have come from these two areas if the county had already been reorganized,” she said. She said if ward boundaries are restructured anyone seeking a seat would have to devote more time and money to campaigning across a larger area. “This is a very different commitment, these wards are large with many roads and lanes to cover,” she said. “Instead of approaching a population of 3,600 in Picton, you'll be campaigning to a population of almost 12,000 residents.” She said the result would be a council comprised main-

ly of wealthy, retired residents. Few in attendance on Thursday agreed on which direction to take out of the three options. The two-ward plan would create a northern ward and a southern ward that would each elect five councillors, while the mayor would be elected at large for a council totalling 11 members. One electoral district would comprise Wellington, Ameliasburgh, Hillier, and Sophiasburgh, while the other would include Picton, Bloomfield, Athol, Hallowell, North Marysburgh, and South Marysburgh. The three-ward plan would divide the municipali-
ty into North, East, and West electoral districts. North would cover Ameliasburgh and Sophiasburgh, East would cover Picton, North Marysburgh, South Marysburgh, and Athol, and West would cover Hallowell, Bloomfield, Wellington, and Hillier. Each ward would elect four councillors and the mayor would be elected at large for a council totalling 13 members. The nine-ward plan would see Picton elect two councillors, Bloomfield/Hallowell elect two councillors, Wellington one councillor, Ameliasburgh three councillors, Athol one councillor, Hillier one councillor, North Marysburgh one councillor, South Marys-
burgh one councillor, and Sophiasburgh reduced to one councillor. The mayor would be elected at large for a total council of 14 members. As has been the case throughout the public consultation process, there were familiar faces at Thursday's session. Resident Gary Mooney continued to argue his threeward proposal would best address the representation by population discrepancy. Former councillor and South Marysburgh resident Monica Alyea continued to push for the status quo, saying many residents may pass on running for council because the bigger wards would make campaigning too expensive. John Thompson said his nine-ward plan would be the easiest way to improve representation by population while mitigating some concerns about changing ward boundaries. The public consultations wrapped up Wednesday evening in South Marysburgh. It will now be up to council to wade through the responses from the consultations and the size of council surveys to in order to make a decision. The survey deadline has been extended to Oct. 5. The information from the public consultations and surveys will be presented to councillors at a committee-of-the-whole meeting Oct. 29 at 7 p.m.

We are the educational assistants, office administrators, custodians, tradespeople, instructors, library technicians, early childhood educators, IT specialists, speech pathologists and many others – 55,000 in all. We help keep schools safe, clean and well organized while providing extra support to ensure all students have the opportunity to reach their potential. We provide critical services that make schools work. Yet, we have been without a contract for more than a year. Government cutbacks are compromising the ability of education workers to provide the learning environments students need and deserve. By reducing staffing levels, the government is directly eroding the services that make learning possible. Ensuring adequate custodial staffing levels allows us to provide effective preventive maintenance programs, keeping the learning environment safe for students. When the numbers of educational assistants are reduced and full time work cut to half time employment students with special needs go without the extra help they need to succeed. We take our work and the roles we play in the school community seriously and yet our participation in staff meetings, parent nights and special school events is too often without pay.
These are some of the important issues we are currently negotiating with the Crown and the Council of Trustees Association in our central bargaining discussions. While these issues – those affecting staffing levels and budgets – are being discussed centrally, equally important issues are also being discussed locally. Critical issues such as school violence need be addressed locally, but often are not. Parents should ask their trustees what is going on and ask what they are doing to ensure students are getting the safe, clean and supportive learning environments they deserve. We want to negotiate a collective agreement that shows respect for the important work we do. We make schools work. We’re negotiating to settle, but we’re prepared to strike. ME:gb/cope491

County to give $100 to Syrian refugee crisis fund Municipalities across Ontario respond to organization’s call to aid international effort CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER
The ongoing Syrian refugee crisis was a topic of discussion at last week's committee-ofthe-whole meeting as councillors voted to support the Association of Municipalities Ontario's Syrian Refugee Crisis Fund. Committee of the whole voted to provide $100 to AMO's Syrian Refugee Crisis Fund. The motion will have to be approved at council's next meeting on Oct. 13. The motion, tabled by councillor Bill Roberts, says county council supports the emergency recommendation of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) to coordinate the efforts of cities
n Cou e h T
and communities across the country to amplify the effectiveness of local initiatives, and supports AMO's challenge to all its members to donate at least $100 to aid in the international effort to resettle Syrian refugees in safe countries. Roberts said the municipality has to do its part. “This crisis has been going on since 2011,” he said. “There are 12 million refugees and it's incumbent upon us as a caring community to reflect our concern.” Roberts said the donation would show a measure of moral leadership, saying the County's $100 is “a tangible gesture that we are aware of what's going on and support our membership organization.” “It's both material and highly symbolic,” he said. Councillor Steve Ferguson said the crisis puts local issues into perspective.

“I sometimes give my head a shake,” he said. “As a councillor I'm worrying about the placement of industrial wind turbines when there are millions of people that are worrying about how they are going to escape danger, how they are going to find food, how they are going to find a place to live, so I think this is a terrific initiative.” Councillor Gord Fox said while the situation in Syria is tragic, council has to consider where the donation is coming from. “This is the taxpayers' dollars and what we're saying is 'whether you like it or not, we're going to spend your money on this cause,'” he said. “There may be a lot of people out there who are in the mindset of, 'I will give to the charities I want to give to.'” He said if council donates to this cause it could set a precedent. “I understand where everybody is coming from, it's heartbreaking, there's no doubt about it,” he said. “But if we do it for this cause, how
many other causes do we have to do it for?” The motion comes following an outpouring of local support. Resident Carolyn Moulton said community-organized efforts have been quickly established, noting a recent meeting at Bloomfield Town Hall where the hall overflowed with supporters. Since then community effort have helped organize a home, transportation, and clothing for the refugees. However, Moulton said some residents have expressed concern about supporting international causes when there are needs locally. Moulton asked council to be a moral leader in that regard. “We need moral leadership to help our community understand we're not taking anything away from anyone, we're going to step up and add something to help other people,” she said. Unlike the generation that came before us, we are not risking our lives, we're not heroes. People helping in the Second World War were shot at, my dinner table isn't going to change because I'm helping a Syrian refugee get settled here.” Community supporters are still seeking an electric stove, furniture, more clothing, and linens to donate to the refugees. Several different fundraisers are planned for the near future.
FEE FOR LAUNCH The County is considering instituting the same $6 boat-launch fee presently charged in Picton and Wellington at all 10 of its launches. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)
Uniform launch fee discussed CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER
Launch fees could be coming to boat ramps across Prince Edward County. Councillors voted at last week's committee-of-thewhole meeting in favour of a motion to explore instituting a fee at all County operated boat launches during the 2016 budget deliberations. If the motion is approved by council at their Oct. 13 meeting, the motion will direct staff to refer items with a 2016 financial impact to the budget process. That referral would include the cost of constructing and erecting deposit strongboxes for the collection of launch fees and would see a proposed $6 launch fee for all County operated boat launches brought forward for consideration when the fees and charges for 2016 are discussed. The motion comes after staff presented a report — requested by council in 2013 — on all municipal boat ramps and launches including costs associated with repairs and
recommended revenue generation opportunities. The report says the municipality currently operates 10 boat launches and collects launch fees at three of them — Wellington harbour, Picton marina, and Wellington beach. Two options were presented in the report, the first being a pay and display model with solar-powered units to accept payment of bills and coins. This option was indicated to cost an estimated $8,650 per site. However, staff recommended council move forward with Option B, which was indicated to be the most cost-effective plan. Option B would see strongboxes installed at each launch with fees collected in envelopes. The user would write their license plate number on the envelope and deposit it into the strongbox with the fee enclosed. The total cost to install the boxes would be $450 per site and would require staff to collect the deposits and restock envelopes three times per week.

Bae earns 2015 County Chopped crown Fox urges unity and support for military TASTE, from page 3
Squair said his outlook on the festival improved a year ago when he was able to start selling wine. Before, he said, he might have looked at the event less favourably despite the exposure. "That's how we evaluate any and every show now. We look at it as 'Can we end up selling enough to make enough.' If we're just pouring wine, we're pouring money away." Squair said sales increased this year over last and he's encouraged about future years. Sarah Harrison has been making her small-batch Cressy Mustard for the past four years and she's always been coming to Taste. She said its more than just sales that drives her participation. "It's not just about the sales, it's also about the networking within the food community and wine community as well as networking outside to visitors," she said. "We're all interconnected because it's a small community. Everybody supports each other." Harrison did have mostly empty shelves by the end of the afternoon, but she said the day didn't seem busy to the point of being stressful. She attributes that to the visitors and to the set up. She said the layout provides people a chance to visit a few vendors, then a winery or two, then a restaurant, so the displays aren't segregated based on the

type of products they offer. "You get to move along and taste some things," she said. "It's calm, too. There were some buses at 11:30 or so, there was gridlock then, but the rest of the day there's been a nice flow. It's nice to be surrounded by happy people, too. With food and wine, how can you not be happy?" The Cotton Candy Cowgirls were also a hit with their organic cotton candy with flavours like ice wine, lavender, and maple. The group sells it to raise money to subsidize family sessions for special needs children at the Heal With Horses retreat centre in Hillier. Suzanne Latchford-
Kulker, the owner of the centre, said she had a culinary background and decided to put it to use to fundraise. She said she had a very good Taste. "We've been selling tons. People are getting really excited about adult cotton candy.” As in past years, the festival also offered a number of seminars and presentations, culminating with the County Chopped live cooking competition. Despite some electricity challenges, Soup Opera's Sujo Bae earned the championship with a pork burger and pad thai dish. She edged Neil Dowson of the Agrarian and Elliot Reynolds of The Hubb at Angeline's.
VETERANS, from page 2 “Here, I’ve noticed many members served their country and then lived a life after they took off the uniform. They had spouses, children, and extended families and friends. They had a chance to enjoy their lives and their family members, I believe, are here today,” he said. “Here in Glenwood, they have a prime place, buried next to their comrades who have fallen in conflict.” Ronalds said it was also important to celebrate those men and women who have served and those who are continuing to keep the country safe today. He called on those present to share their stories. “This ceremony is about celebrating your contributions and your sacrifices as well. Be proud of your service. Share your experiences with those who are here today. Pass on this information to the generations that follow and to our youth.” Ronalds said a debt of gratitude is also owed to friends and family members, noting that none who have served would be able to do it without their support. “You are the rock that allows us to do the job we do,” he said. MPP Todd Smith offered appreciation for Canadian peacekeepers, quoting lines from Stompin’ Tom Connors’ song, the Blue Berets. The lyrics spoke about the peacekeepers “standing between

the mighty and frail” and “where children cannot play because war is in their way.” Smith said those brave men and women have countlessly gone into some of the most dangerous situations in the world and returned with lifelong scars from what they’ve seen. He added that there continues to be scary places and people today that Canadians must stand up and face. “We face a different enemy these days than in some days gone by. The enemy today, they don’t recognize the United Nations. They don’t recognize journalists. They are a very, very dangerous enemy we’re facing today,” he said. Councilllor Gord Fox agreed, noting he appreciates the suffering and sacrifice many have given so that he and others can live in a country where freedom and peace
are a way of life. “Unfortunately, and Todd made mention of this, we live in a world where the rights and freedoms of individuals are still being oppressed. Our men and women of the armed forces are still facing adversity in trying to bring peace and stability to these warn-torn countries,” he said. “I want to remind everybody that we must stand united and proud of the men and women who have served our country and those who continue to serve our country.” Following a musical interlude by Jeanette Arsenault, dignitaries and guests ventured up the hill to the veterans’ plot to decorate the graves. Some also spread throughout the cemetery to decorate the headstones of those veterans who were not buried with their comrades.

Ferguson urges residents to fill seats at upcoming Environmental Review Tribunal hearings WIND, from page 1
He argued that many people who have lived in the county, moved here, and a lot of the visitors understand the connection between the people and the land, but said there’s a small group coming to the county who don’t understand what may happen if turbines are erected. “The message I would have to send to them is this: Your playground is in danger. You cannot save the earth by killing wildlife and paving over their habitat.” While Campbell’s premise may have been shocking, Prince Edward-Hastings MPP and Progressive Conservative energy critic Todd Smith said “he’s not far off base. This is not in the best interest of people in rural Ontario and they have no say as to whether this happens in their community.” Smith spoke about council’s recent decision to bring a gas station and Tim Hortons development to Wellington and wondered allowed why they are allowed to make that decision, but not allowed to decide whether giant wind turbines would be located in the community. Smith also said the province’s decision to proceed is baffling for a number of reasons aside from the obvious concern for endangered species. First, the community’s tourism potential is being featured often. “Prince Edward County has become the No. 1 tourism destination for the province of
Ontario,” he said. “You can look during the Pan Am Games or Olympic Games, any time a Discover Ontario commercial is on TV now. There’s usually four or five different vignettes of Prince Edward County in those commercials…. Ontario is showing off Prince Edward County because it’s a place people like to come. It’s like stepping back in time, you can go to the wineries, take the arts trail, or see some birds on the south shore. You can go to Sandbanks Provincial Park. That could change and it will change if these projects are approved.” Smith said he recently toured Huron County where hundreds of turbines have been raised. He said he noticed a stark difference than what he was seeing in the county on Sunday. “As I was driving through Huron County this summer, I noticed there was not a single bird flying in the air. There was nothing. It was dead there.” He said it also became apparent the turbines were tearing communities apart with friends and family members not talking to one another as some were compensated and others not. “It’s ripped those rural communities apart. We have seen the same in Prince Edward County and we haven’t seen a turbine. It will destroy Prince Edward County,” Smith said and then, to the delight of his audience, he shared a cruel irony. “Above all that, we don’t

need the energy in Ontario,” he said. “We have 34,000 megawatts available. On the hottest day this summer, we used 23,000 megawatts. They’re still adding these big solar farms and wind turbines all across the province. We don’t need the power.” Smith said the projects don’t need to happen and certainly don’t need to happen in an unwilling community. He added Ontario’s electricity sector is basically emissions free already. He vowed to continue to fight and urged residents to do the same. “We have to continue this fight and we are going to continue this fight.” Mayor Robert Quaiff also shared his frustration with the government, highlighting the much publicized series of letters and communications he’s had with cabinet ministers and Wynne. Quaiff recalled
trying to set up a meeting on the advice of environment minister Glenn Murray only to be told they couldn’t have a conversation until after environmental review tribunal (ERT) hearings. He said Murray asked him what questions he wanted to discuss because he wanted the different people responsible to address Quaiff’s concerns in the room, only to say he couldn’t meet. “He didn’t keep his word,” the mayor said. Quaff added he recently met with transportation minister Steven Del Duca to discuss the possibility of a new ferry boat to cover for shortages during maintenance. Del Duca explained he had to go through an environmental assessment to buy a new boat. He reported an Amherst Island councillor was interested in why the process was necessary there, but not to

build a new dock and batching plant on the island to support a wind project there. The Green Energy Act offered a veto for that. The mayor continued on that the parliamentary secretary for tourism, Sophie Kiwala, sat in on the meeting and approached Quaiff. She told him the county was being considered “the gem of Ontario” and encouraged him to keep doing whatever it was doing. She asked Quaiff if her department could offer any assistance and he brought up the turbines. She stated she couldn’t speak to that, he said. “The door has been closed. We can’t talk. We can’t communicate. We can’t do a thing,” said Quaiff, who indicated he wasn’t willing to stop fighting either. “Yes, I have been very vocal. Yes, I have got myself into some hot water, but guess what, I’m starting to get noticed,” Quaiff said. “I can tell you you have a good council. You have council members who will fight this fight to the end. They won’t give up. The majority are on your side and fighting for you. You have my word as you have MPP Smith’s word, I’m not going to stop.” One of those councillors, South Marysburgh’s Steve Ferguson said his ward spoke in a poll he conducted and he is eager to see their opposition to the turbines through. He added that with a recent turn in ERT proceedings, residents might smell blood. “That’s defined as recog-
nizing an opportunity to be more successful, especially by taking advantage of someone in a difficult situation. I think the Ontario government has underestimated the resolve of South Marysburgh and the residents of Prince Edward County as a whole.” Ferguson urged residents to fill every seat in Demorestville Town Hall for the next Ostrander Point hearing dates in late October and do the same in Wellington for the White Pines project. “We have to have a strong, strong presence in those halls to let the tribunal know just how people feel. We have to keep up the fight.” Rally attendees also heard updates from Prince Edward County Field Naturalists president Myrna Wood about the importance of saving rare habitats and the importance of those habitats in keeping carbon out of the atmosphere. They also heard from Driver about cultural heritage and the negative impact of the turbines on sites like Mt. Tabor. At the end of the speeches, APPEC president Gord Gibbons stated that no matter the public support and the political support for the campaign, the legal avenue remains the only avenue to take. He said APPEC’s fight alone could cost $250,000. “The only way we are going to win is if we take every legal option available to us,” he said. “It’s going to require people to open their wallets and their chequebooks and write significant sums.”

Incredible 2002-2003 Dukes first team enshrined in hall Arm wrestler Eaton, swimmer Adbu recognized for illustrious careers ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER
The 2002-2003 Wellington Dukes won a lot of hockey games as they captured the organization's first Buckland Cup and Dudley Hewitt Cup. Many feel they did much more than that. At the Prince Edward County Sports Hall of Fame induction dinner Saturday at the Highline Hall, members of that team were reunited as they celebrated a first with their fans. The Dukes were the first team inducted into the hall as they were enshrined alongside arm wrestler Troy Eaton, swimmer Reema Abdu, and athletic award winners from PECI and Centennial Secondary School. Fittingly, that Dukes club will join its architect, the late Garry Lavender, on the wall to ensure future generations of hockey fans will not forget those who put their team on the map. Lavender's son Tod coached the winning team alongside Marty Abrams. As both a Wellington native and a hockey coach. He said his father would have been proud to share the induction with his players. He also told the audience that season was different than many he's seen. "It was a really special group of kids, and more importantly, other than the wins, it was what it meant for the town of Wellington," he said. Growing up here and being part of the Wellington Dukes history with my family, that year really solidified it. We always believed we were the best hockey town in Ontario or even Canada and that year really solidified it." Lavender said there was a special feeling seeing the Quinte region rally around the club on its playoff run. He noted the team would show up for practice on Mondays and fans would have already put down blankets for Friday games. Each night, the old DukeDome was filled to

capacity. Often, there'd be several fan buses on the road and at least 100 Dukes fans followed the team to Charlottetown, PEI to see them play in the Royal Bank Cup for the national championship. Those Dukes went 47-1-1 through the regular season. They swept through their league playoffs by beating Peterborough, Lindsay, Trenton, Markham, and Aurora in best-of-seven series. They captured the central Canadian Junior A championship in Fort Frances an headed east. They reached the national semifinal before losing 3-2 to the eventual champion Humboldt Broncos. Overall, the club garnered a 55-12-7 record that year. Through it all, Lavender said people would drop into his family's furniture store and offer words of support and donations for thousands of dollars to help the Dukes on their quest for success. He said everyone in the community seemed to be on the same
page throughout. While Lavender said he's pleased to see Abrams back with the team and building on the success the Dukes found in 2002-2003, he doesn't believe any future success will rival that season. "What that team did for this community, how it brought it together, and the way the whole community celebrated is something I think probably outweighs the success we had," he said. "Whether you know about it or not, it will never be forgotten here in the community of Wellington. It will probably never be repeated — as much success as the team has had since, I still don't think it has the same feel it did that year. We should be very proud of what we've accomplished."

Pirates’ work ethic pays off in home opener win over Campbellford Defending-champion Port Hope blanks Picton Saturday to push club below .500 going into tonight’s home game against Napanee CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER
The Picton Pirates gave the crowd something to cheer about at their home opener last Thursday. Following a disappointing season opener against Amherstview, the Pirates defeated Campbellford 4–1 in Picton last Thursday. The club didn't fare as well against the Port Hope Panthers on Saturday, falling 3–0. Pirates coach Chris Masterson said the team made excellent strides this week. “The work ethic was outstanding, the attention to detail was great,” he said. “We played extremely well in our home opener against Campbellford — it was a total team effort.” The Pirates came out hard early on Thursday with James Pero collecting the puck from Tye Eaton and putting the Pirates ahead at 4:05 of the opening frame. Nolan Van Vlack made it 2– 0 six minutes later with Trey Maracle and Mitchell Merry collecting the assists. The Pirates continued to roll as Matthew Panetta scored at 15:54 of the first to bring the Rebels deficit to 3–0. The Pirates held a commanding 17–3 shot advantage after the first. Things seemed to settle down in the second period and Campbellford began to throw some shots on goal, but the frame remained scoreless. Masterson pointed to the players' attention to detail in saying the team responded well as the Rebels upped their intensity. “The attention to detail was excellent, we remained disciplined, we only had three minor penalties,” he said. “We played our sys-
tems and we forechecked well, we kept the attack to the outside for the most part. When they did get in close to the net our D did a really good job of protecting the house.” The third period looked like it would be just as tightly checked as the first until Campbellford's Jackob Bennett scored a shorthanded marker midway through the frame. Merry would add a goal with the net empty to ice the 4–1 win. Masterson said the win was huge for the team. With Campbellford among the teams expected to have tough rebuilding seasons, Masterson said it's important to keep them in the rearview mirror. The game also sends a message to the Pirates fan base, he said. “It's important for the fan base to have people see we're going to be a competitive team and a hardworking team,” he said. “There were 210 people in the stands, a good crowd, and it's important to get off to a good start.” The win also gives the team a much needed confidence boost, he said. “It was extremely important to have a good game and show the guys we can be competitive and we can be a solid team this year,” he said. On Saturday, the Pirates were on the wrong end of some pressure in the first period. The Panthers outshot Picton 16–5, but the score remained tied at zeros after 20 minutes. Port Hope eventually got on the board early in the second period with Hunter Baker scoring 2:49 into the frame. Shawn Mackie scored
just under three minutes later to double the Picton deficit and Dalton Lawrence would notch a power-play marker to make it 3–0 with less than four minutes remaining in the period. Both teams were held off the scoresheet in the third period as the Panthers took the 3–0 victory. “We went up against a really tough Port Hope team,” said Masterson.
The Pirates appeared to get into some penalty trouble again in the contest. The Panthers capitalized once on eight opportunities with the man advantage, but Masterson said the penalties didn't necessarily amount to a lack of discipline this time around. “We got into a little bit of penalty trouble in that game, but still not too bad,” he said. “They were legiti-
mate calls, not necessarily a lack of discipline, just the regular things that happen in a hockey game.” He said despite the loss, he liked the way the team played. He noted the play of goaltender Dustin Myskiw as a bright spot. “Dustin Myskiw played both games and did extremely well,” said Masterson. “I'm happy with the progress I'm seeing right now.”
The Pirates will face Napanee tonight at home. Puck drop is 7:30 p.m. Masterson said the game plan for Thursday will be to continue the hard work. “One of the big things we're preaching is getting pucks out and getting pucks in,” he said. “Basically, no messing with the puck at our blue line and no messing around with the puck at their blue line.”

In Picton on Saturday night facing the Bancroft Jets, the Kings took a third period lead thanks to some nifty
work by Dillon Percy who sprung Nick Kirby for his first goal and third point of the night. The Jets clawed back with a goal of their own later in the frame, setting the stage for

Connor Verhoog, Ben Wells, Dawson and St. Pierre had helpers. The next day in Wellington facing the Napanee Stars, the Kings came up just short.

May 13th, 1992 - October 1st, 2010 In a sudden tragic accident five years ago today, we lost our “Tyler”. The moment that you left us Our hearts were torn in two One half filled with heartache The other died with you. We often lie awake at night When the world is fast asleep, And take a walk down memory lane With tears upon our cheeks. Remembering you is easy We do it every day, But missing you is a heartache That never goes away. Your memory is our keepsake With which we’ll never part, We know you’re in God’s keeping We have you in our hearts. Love you always Ty... Around the world and back again Mom and Kaitlyn xoxoxoxo

Asselstine, Brodie Beard, Cory Bruno, Mark Campbell, Jeff Caron, Dayne Davis, Joe Edwards, Trevor Kell, Preston Kivell, Tyler Lyon, Liam Reddox, Mark Runions, Derek Smith, Chris Rowan, and Brent Varty. "It was an absolutely incredible team," said Woodward. He indicated the team wasn't loaded up for a one-anddone run at the title, necessarily, but rather many of the players were in Wellington for several years and they learned to lose and learned to win with the tutelage of Abrams and Lavender. The members made a choice to work for success. "We talk about buying into the process. This group of guys did that. There were players who made choices. They didn't go to the OHL, they didn't ask to go closer to home if they were from out east or Toronto. They were here and it was for a reason. There were things we learned along the way and finally, we understood in '02-'03 what it really took to win together." They put their egos aside. They accepted tough love from the coaching staff. They focused on making the county proud. Through it all, they made memories they wouldn't forget. They'd remember the way Garry Lavender would do anything for them or how hard Foster Bailey led the Blanketville cheering session week in and week out. Woodward, who grew up in the county as a Dukes fan,
said players don't realize it at the time, but playing Junior A hockey anywhere is an honour and "some of the best days of your life." Seeing the way the community embraced that team was special. "We played nearly 100 games that year. We may have come up short on our pursuit of a national championship, but today, all these years later, it is clear. The impact we had on our community and the accomplishments we achieved together will never be forgotten and it will be shared with future generations due to our induction here at the Prince Edward County hall of fame." Eaton was introduced by his brother-in-law and friend Glen Staley. Staley indicated his original perception of arm wrestling was that it isn't a real sport. Eaton changed his perspective on that quickly and turned him into a fan of the bouts over the past 20 years. "Arm wrestling is a sport based on technique, training, strength, endurance, proper etiquette, sportsmanship and lasting friendships. Troy truly represents all that the sport is and he's earned recognition from fellow competitors across Canada, in the United States, and the world." Staley said Eaton started arm wrestling with his buddies over their lunch hour at PECI — he was then 130 pounds, a far cry from the 200lb class he arm wrestled in —
and eventually joined the Port Perry arm wrestling club. Eventually, Eaton was trained enough to enter a competition. "Troy developed to the point where he was ready to enter his first official tournament in Toronto. So he thought. Feeling good, Troy stepped up to the table, chest fully pumped out. He set his elbow on the pad, looked the guy straight in the eye and… the guy smoked him. He pinned Troy in no time flat. Troy told tells me it was at that very moment he became fascinated with the sport and committed to being the best he could be." He certainly made good on that commitment. By 1996, he captured a world amateur championship in Anaheim, California. He won bronze in the 2001 world championship in Poland and silver in 2003 in Ottawa. During his career, Eaton competed in 13 national championships, placing in the top three 12 times. He won national gold six times in three different weight classes and was topranked in his class from 2002005. Staley said he has won too many provincial championships to mention. Despite all the success, Eaton remained grounded and became a great ambassador for his sport. He started the Picton Arm Wrestling Club and provided coaching and inspiration to all comers, regardless of age, stature, or gender. Some of its members
have also gone on to national and international competition. He also ran a tournament in Wellington for 10 years and is a certified referee in the sport. Staley noted sharing his sport is important to Eaton. "Troy's teachings can be applied to daily life. He is definitely a role model to many in the community." He noted many of Eaton's former students have called him a mentor and attributed their success to his teaching methods. Unfortunately, Eaton had a bell's palsy incident recently and was unable to speak at the award ceremony, so Staley continued to speak on his behalf. He mentioned that Eaton was thankful his family supported him through dieting and nerves before his big events. In the remarks he put forward to be read, Eaton said accolades are a small part of his success. "I have had a very successful career and my garage is a sea of medallions and trophies, but arm wrestling has given me more than just awards. It has brought me some very special friendships with people all over the world…I would encourage anyone to step up to the table and experience a life-changing moment as I have." Eaton also shared a special connection to his fellow inductees as he had been a Junior C Duke.

Decorated Centennial athletes join their peers from PECI on wall for first time this year INDUCTEES, from page 34
Abdu began swimming in Kingston at age 12 and her family moved to Trenton the following year because the county did not have a pool at the time. She joined the Trenton Dolphins swimming team and steadily increased her training sessions to the point where she was in the water six-to-eight hours each day. Hall of fame president Hugh Parliament said that likely led to her greatness. "That works out to about 40 hours a week of swimming. That is dedication and determination beyond a shadow of a doubt," he said. She started training under renowned coach George Sulk and her career took off. Abdu's specialty was the
backstroke and she did very well for herself. She competed in 14 national championships, where she earned seven gold medals, four silver medals, and three bronze medals. She also became the Canadian short course record holder in the 100-metre and 200-metre events in 1984. That summer, Abdu earned a bronze medal in the 4x100-metre medley relay at the Los Angeles Olympic Games. It would be a highlight of an international career that saw her swim at the World Student Games, the Pan Am Games, the Commonwealth Games, and in NCAA meets while she was representing the Arizona State Sun Devils. Parliament said today Abdu is a member of the
Ontario Provincial Police, posted with the Prince Edward County detachment. He said she continues her active lifestyle by competing in triathlons and long-distance running. Abdu did not attend Saturday's dinner, so the hall's committee invited Quinte Dolphins swim team president Michael Pothier to accept on her behalf. He was pleased to see the sport recognized. "I'd like to thank the sports hall of fame for recognizing the hard work and dedication it takes to be a swimmer. They put a lot of hours in the pool, thank you for recognizing that." As per custom, the previous year's high school athletes of the year were recognized. For PECI, that included seniors Andrew Dayton and Cai-

ley Jones, juniors Jon McHugh and Vanessa Willis, and Grade 9s Wyatt Gilbert and Brooke Roche. This year, Centennial students were recog-

nized for the first time. Seniors Blake Reid, Curtis Courneya, and Caroline Simons, juniors Nick Hoey and Alex Dodson, and Grade 9 Mick-
aula Douglas were inducted. For Hoey, this was actually the second year he should have been honoured, but Parliament said there was an omission last year. Parliament said he was pleased with the diversity of sports now represented in the hall and said it's important the stories of all the athletes recognized over the years are preserved and remembered. "It's so important these stories are told. They leave a story for generations to come, showing that ability, dedication, and hard work can meet any challenge," he said. "There's pride when walking past our hall of fame. These are county athletes and we are proud of the recognition they have brought to our county and to themselves."

nary group's findings to the Quinte Healthcare Corporation (QHC) board. After six months of community consultation, investigation and analysis, the 16member panel which includes members from QHC, the Southeast Local Health Integration Network (SE LHIN), CFB Trenton, the Community Care Access Centre (CCAC), the Trenton Memorial Hospital Foundation, local physicians and the Our TMH group made a series of seven recommendations designed to build a sustainable health-care system for Quinte West and Brighton. The committee was formed in April by Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi with a mandate to provide a future vision for health-care services.
Rainbird told directors members of the committee were well aware of the challenges around healthcare stem for the financial sustainability and were cognizant of the restrained financial resources environment that health planning decision makers make their deliberations within. Within the recommendations, Rainbird and the group have identified priorities within the Quinte West community so that when those with the stewardship of these resources (such as QHC, the local LHIN and the local CCAC) are making decisions, they have a good understanding of what the priorities are. “We know there will be lines drawn somewhere, there always are lines drawn of what you can do and what you can't

do. We want to make sure that we have identified key priorities in the community so you can understand them and take them into account,” Rainbird said. “People in our community understand there are fiscal challenges. They want to make sure the lines are drawn as far down the list as possible.” The report's recommendations appear as if the committee drew some inspiration from the early days of planning for a new front-line health facility in Picton with the local family health team and community care service providers at one central location. The first two recommendations call for health-care decision makers to significantly enhance the degree of collaboration and integration among local care providers, munici-

Plans will not impact county redevelopment HEALTH, from page 36 In addition, it would ensure local patients have seamless access to more specialized hospital-based services within the region and ; Recognizing the significant challenges facing recruitment and retention of family care providers in the area, create a co-ordinated Brighton/Quinte West health human resources plan and recruitment/retention strategy, particularly aimed towards physicians and nurse practitioners. Vice-president of communications for QHC Susan Rowe said the group's mandate to call for a co-locate services at the TMH site will not have an impact on the planned redevelopment of PECMH. “They would have no impact on the PECMH redevelopment. The Brighton/Quinte West Committee looked at the future PECMH model as part of their deliberations and there are some key similarities between the two. Particularly the increased focus on colocation and integration between the hospital and primary care partners. “If anything, the two future visions the board now has in front of them – one for Prince Edward County and one for Quinte West – would complement each other very well,” Rowe told the Gazette via e-mail Wednesday morning. QHC is expected to use the report when it makes its restructuring deliberations this fall. In a report delivered to Board members Tuesday, it was revealed that in order to move QHC's costs in line with the provincial average, there must be a minimum reduction of $11.5 million in annual expenses for 2016/17 including $6.6 million in overhead and indirect services and $4.9 million in clinical areas.

Opportunistic Buzzers capitalize on Dukes’ errors to grab victory Friday night Turnovers and missed coverages prove costly JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER
Frustrating might be the best way to describe the Wellington Dukes and their latest effort on Essroc Arena ice. The club, after reeling off three consecutive road wins last week, hosted the St. Michael's Buzzers with a chance to post their sixth win of the young season and offer their home fans an look at the inspiring hockey the club showed in securing wins in Lindsay (Sunday) and Buffalo (Tuesday and Wednesday). It wasn't a lack of effort that cost Wellington Friday evening because if you were in attendance, you a saw a team utilizing a tenacious forecheck and generate plenty of scoring chances against a St. Mike's defensive corps that had all it could handle. What you also would have seen is a Wellington team get beat in their own end off turnovers and some bad decisions by an opportunistic St. Mike's team that put the wraps on the 5-3 win in the late going of the third period, taking a carelessly discarded Wellington puck and depositing into the Dukes cage with about three-and-a-half minutes left. The Buzzers added an empty netter in the late going to make it a two goal spread. Wellington coach and general Manager Marty Abrams agreed that loss was a tough one for his squad who seemed to do everything right but
were burned on some bad play in their own end. “We had some unfortunate turnovers and missed coverage assignments that cost us the game,” Abrams told the Gazette Monday. “We did a lot of things well but we made some very bad mistakes in our own end and it was a tough loss to take.” Wellington started the game by outshooting the Buzzer's heavily and it would be Ben Sokay ringing a puck off the post and past St. Mike's starter Mark Manolescu at the 8:52 mark. The Buzzers would respond about four minutes later as Michael Andlauer beat Wellington starter Oliver Lafreniere stick side from the high slot. In the second, it was more of the same as Wellington held the balance of play in the St. Mike's end before finally scoring. After a scramble in front in which all three Wellington forwards took whacks at the puck, it was Chase St. Aubin who would touch it last, steering the loose biscuit into the St. Mike's cage. This second period one goal lead would last much shorter as St. Mike's Dalton Barnes picked up his second point of the night, tapping home the Buzzer's second successful volley of the evening just 61 seconds after the Wellington tally. In the third, more disorganized play in their own end
GETTING BUZZED Wellington Dukes forward Shaw Boomhower gets a shot off during the first period of the team’s 5-3 loss to the visiting St. Mike’s Buzzers on Friday evening at Essroc Arena. Despite outshooting the visitors 34-24, Wellington was undone by some sloppy play in its defensive zone. (Jason Parks/Gazette staff)
cost Wellington as a powerplay breakout went awry as Thomas Beretta blasted a puck through LaFreniere at 8:52 to give the Buzzer's their first lead of the game. Wellington responded just 17 seconds later as Luc Brown's shot pin balled past Manolescu to knot the game back up at 3-3. There it stayed despite Wellington getting a few decent scoring chances.
The roof caved for Wellington with less than two minutes to play as Cameron Wright took a loose puck in close proximity of the homeside's cage and found Cameron Sarles alone in front. Sarles had time and space to roof a puck past LaFreniere and that goal stood as the game winner. Wellington had a week to stew about Friday night's loss before welcoming the New-
market Hurricanes tomorrow night for a 7:30 p.m. Puck drop. On Sunday, Wellington will be off to Whitby to play the Fury at Iroquois Arena at 2:10 p.m. ‘Round the 'Roc:While he was kept off the score sheet Friday night, forward Dylan Mascarin has made the most of his return to Wellington, notching three goals and three assists in just five games. “We
need him to stay healthy,” Abrams said. “He's a good player when he wants to be and so far, he's been good for us.”...Another good player for Wellington in September has been Luc Brown. The Napanee native was the obvious choice for player of the month, picking up eight goals and a handful of assists for 13 points in nine games of action... The Dukes continue to keep three goaltenders on their roster.

Establish a home fire safety plan
People rely on fire and smoke detectors to help keep them safe in their homes. Though fire and smoke alarms are effective, a firm fire safety plan that will keep everyone calm should a fire occur could make the difference between life and death. In addition to physical injury and material damage, fires can cause a host of problems. Psychological distress, monetary damages and loss of pets may come with fires. Loss of irreplaceable personal items is also a concern. Although fires can be devastating, they're also highly preventable, and smoke alarms and a home fire safety plan are two precautionary measures everyone should take. Creating an evacuation plan doesn't have to be complicated. Such a plan can be established in a few minutes and then reinforced through practice every so often to keep everyone fresh on what to do. • Begin by assessing the layout of the home. Figure out
Keeping family members safe from fire involves establishing a fire safety plan. the two best exits from the home. • If your home doesn't have two doors, invest in a fire ladder so that one of the windows can be a point of exit. • Know how to gain access to the exits, including the best path to take to avoid injury. It's a good idea to consider a few different scenarios. A
kitchen adjacent to the upstairs staircase may become engulfed in flames and make exit by way of staircase impossible. Just because you have doors to the outside
doesn't mean they'll present the best type of exit. • Sketch out the layout of the home and the escape plan. Smoke can make it difficult to know up from down. Be sure everyone can reach the exits even if vision is obstructed. Try it with your eyes closed. • Check fire alarms routinely, and change batteries at least every year. • Make sure windows can be easily opened if they are an exit point. • Make note of who will be helping children or the elderly out of the home. • Establish a place where the family will meet outdoors. This area should be far enough away from the home so that everyone will be safe from smoke, flames and falling debris. Fires may ignite fuel explosions, so be sure the meeting spot is a good deal away.
