‘County Spirit’, Rallying for ‘The Cardiac Cause’

Six months ago, at a Cattlemen’s meeting in Demorestville church hall, an idea was born. Now, as the 10th Anniversary of Prince Edward Cattlemen’s Steer Show and Auction fund raiser is nearing completion, we can see that ‘County Spirit’ prevails in Prince Edward allowing this fundraising initiative to be a huge success.

KICK-OFF EVENT - MAY 22ND

Starting at a media release and barbeque at the PEFHT offices on May 22nd, the summer’s fund raising activities were outlined . $50,000.00 was needed for exercise equipment for the Prince Edward Family Health Team’s Cardiac Rehab Program to equip a facility that would be positioned close to the hospital and provide much needed rehabilitation for patients recovering from a heart attack or cardiac surgery. Education and supervised exercise with a team including, a specialized cardiac nurse and physiotherapist giving a detailed rehabilitation program has already received rave reviews from patients of PEFHT. This initial program was offered by this team at the Prince Edward Aquatic and Fitness Centre.. The new facility recently acquired is renovated space in the Picton Clinic next to the hospital. This site provides easy access and close proximity to the hospital offering more comfort to higher risk patients as they enter an important rehabilitation phase. This specialized equipment is not funded by the ministry thus the Cattlemen and this fund raising initiative.

A very successful first event featured a barbeque beef dinner at the Community Centre in Picton where Angel and Jeff Gilbert, local caterers, prepared a delicious meal to compliment the beef cooked by Dave Murray, with the mobile cooker from ‘ Ontario Corn Fed Beef’. Many of the 250 that attended to hear about the cardiac rehab program marveled at the food indicating “it was the best beef we have ever tasted” and “who prepared the food”, “ it was just excellent and those desserts, to die for”. The program outlined by Dr Phil Wattam, head of the Team’s Congestive Heart Failure Clinic and Duff Sprague, executive director of PEFHT emphasized the need for cardiac rehab in Prince Edward and the potential for reducing hospital time and ultimately saving lives.

Benefits of Beef

Lean Beef is a unique and special food. No other single food provides the same variety of health benefits found in beef. It contains an excellent source of protein, zinc, iron, selenium, phosphorus, and B complex vitamins including Vitamin B12, Niacin, Vitamin B6 and Riboflavin. A 3 oz serving contributes less than 10% of the daily calories to a 2000 calorie diet yet it brings more than 10% of the daily value of 9 essential nutrients. Beef becomes an excellent food source for seniors, with the rich supply of nutrients essential for all body functions. B vitamins, are important in many body functions but especially important for converting food to energy. The large amount of Iron found in beef makes it extremely important as it is key in the transport of oxygen to the cells. Beef becomes extremely important for pregnant or nursing women who need increased iron stores. Beef consumption is one of the best ways of combating iron deficiency anemia which causes fatigue and headaches. Many of the minerals found in beef are important for essential body functions including bone, muscle and cellular functions. Beef should be consumed in moderation and makes up an important part of a balanced diet

There was something enticing about a low-key family event held in a farmer's field over the Thanksgiving weekend as evidenced by the gathered crowd of more than one hundred. On Sunday the Quinte Draft Horse Association held their 26th annual Fall Heritage Day, where residents could take in a song, some fine food and a ride in a horse-drawn carriage. Described both as a showcase for the common work horse and as a chance to teach county youth about their agricultural past, the mood of a simpler time was infectious. The event has been held on Larry Everall's farm for close to 20 years. “There's nothing like it around. It's a piece of culture where, if it's lost, it'll never (come back),” he said. Everall said the show is also one of the only venues for farmers to show off their how good their work horse teams are. He said the event is also a great one for families and the association has tried to make sure the event stays

the property in wagons, while some visitors inspected antique farm equipment. The smells of chili, hot dogs and homemade pie permeated the land and were enjoyed by many while enjoying a song or two from band Easy Country. Many children also enjoyed a petting zoo. “Cherry Valley Lions Clubs is raising funds as well – it's just a community event,” Everall said. “We're here to have a good time and it's a family outing, for $2 they can bring kids in and enjoy free wagon rides. A horse-drawn wagon ride is something you don't get too often anymore.”

affordable and interesting for all ages. “We've been hosting this and had a lot of fun at it and that's what the club was started for. The Quinte Draft Horse Association was started to showcase horses that will never make a show ring and just have fun, it's a fun day,” Everall said. “It's just a plain fun day and to have a good time and people are able to show their horses.” As he spoke several teams of horses – including his own, with John Mouck at the helm – made their way around the property, plowing swathes with incredible strength. While the horses plowed, teams pulled groups of people around

Council has decided it will deal with the results of the referendum vote on the size of council during the last election after all. In a 14–2 vote Tuesday evening council voted to conduct a public consultation on the size of council in response to the question on the ballot results from the 2010 election and, in preparation for the consultation, will hold a special meeting in early November. The issue was initially brought up in its most recent incarnation by Hillier councillor Alec Lunn who had proposed that the November special meeting could be used to review the results of the 2008 composition of council committee and the new governance models put forward by that committee and any governance models put forward by councillors at the meeting. Lunn's motion would have had council select a preferred governance model using an elimination method of voting and would have the municipality retain a facilitator to present both the existing and selected alternative governance models to the public, gather and analyze public opinions and report back to council. The motion also called for council to commit to take action to reflect the public's wishes as garnered from the public consultation process. Lunn said he was opposed to bringing a facilitator in to tell council what it should do, but said his motion would allow council to select a preferred model and receive public input through a facilitator. “A lot of people don't realize that, although the population of Prince Edward County hasn't changed in over 100 years, there has been a great shift in settlement to the north,” Lunn said. “The last line drawn was the line that created the Township of Athol in 1848 separating South Marysburgh. The reason for that was because the population had grown over the last 60

years to the extent that they needed to.” Lunn said as the population changed, the ward boundaries changed. “We haven't adjusted those lines in 160 years and since amalgamation it's become apparent that there is an increase here that needs to be adjusted,” he said. “There's a dwindling population in the south and the north now contains a quarter of the population just in Ameliasburgh.” However, after some heated discussion in which many councillors argued Lunn's motion would tie council's hands and force a certain outcome, the motion was amended to simply hold a special meeting in preparation for public consultation and removed a reference to adjusting ward boundaries, with the agenda for that meeting left undefined. That amendment came forward from Picton councillor Brian Marisett. “I feel this ties us to certain parameters we may or may not support,” he said. Lunn and seconder Hallowell councillor Keith MacDonald were the only two members of council who didn't support the amended motion, though there was a feeling that some councillors may have supported the amendment begrudgingly in order to get the discussion started. Lunn said the reason the issue has kept coming back is because council hasn't set any boundaries in its discussions regarding the size of council.

they'll explain something and how it works,” he said. “It brings back memories for the old people and this is our 26th year and it's changed from the farmers who used to come out and knew and now it's basically a history lesson to a lot of people.” Even through that change, Everall said the event has never lost its fun. “That's what it really comes down to,” he said. The event is held every Thanksgiving Sunday and Everall said that's done for a reason.

“It's a family time and a lot of people are visiting family. A lot of people come out at eleven o'clock and they're here for a couple hours then they'll go for dinner and a lot of people have dinner at noon and then they'll come back,” he said. “What more could you do for two dollars?” Quinte Draft Horse Association president Owen Harder said the event usually is well attended and said he believes the historical equipment and horses are a big draw. “For us it's a lot of social thing. We get to meet the public and the public get to see things they don't get to see every day,” Harder said. Harder said with the majority of farm work being done by tractor, a lot of people don't know what is being done or has been

done with horses. He said a few – including himself – have started to use horses more often. “Me and my wife Jackie, we farm 50 acres and we do what we can with the horses,” he said. “It slows us down, it slows our life down. I've listened to big motors scream most of my life; farming, truck driving, all that – it's nice to get out on a day like this and you don't hear anything.” Harder said many times it seems life moves too fast, but when working with horses you have to take breaks and that keeps things in perspective. As for the event he said he was happy with the turnout and hopes the event will continue for another 26 years. “Everyone who comes seems to have a good time and it's a lot of fun,” he said.

Taste the Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inaugural Artrageous event gets creative juices flowing Organizers hope to build on positive aspects Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

Organizers of Taste the County's newest art event are encouraged by the public's response and are hoping for bigger and better things next year. While Taste the County operations co-ordinator Lise Rouleau admits Artrageous didn't draw as big of an audience as the organization was hoping for, she said those who did attend were very receptive of the concept. The event offered patrons an opportunity to attend hour-long workshops, demonstrations, open studios, and art talks, all giving a glimpse into the life of an artist. About 14 studios took part in the event, which took place Friday to Monday. Rouleau said she was pleased with the response to the first-year event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's hard to have a new event at this time of year. The concept was a phenomenal concept and it just needs a little bit more longevity,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had wonderful marketing, we were able to get it out to a lot of people and everyone was extremely happy who came, we just didn't have as many people as we would have liked honestly.â&#x20AC;? Rouleau said the organization doesn't yet have any attendance estimates, but will be attempting to gather some rough numbers. She said new events often need time to catch on and said the timing of the event, with many attending Thanksgiving dinners, may be something the organization will look at. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Perhaps Thanksgiving weekend was not the best weekend for it, I'm not sure, but it's certainly something we'll look at later,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone who went had a fantastic time. The workshops, people loved them, they love the concept of it â&#x20AC;&#x201D; so that was a huge success. People really like that interactive feel.â&#x20AC;?

CreatIng Kathy McAlpine Terpstra uses a sketch to make outlines in her clay that she would eventually turn into a mask Saturday at the Red Barns . (Chad Ibbotson/Gazette staff)

Among them was Kathy McAlpine Terpstra, who attended Tony Campbell's pottery workshop at The Red Barns in Picton. The workshop had participants craft clay masks of their own design. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's a fun and easy way to try a new craft,â&#x20AC;? said McAlpine Terpstra. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I'm doing clay and then stained glass this afternoon and I'm interested in being more creative.â&#x20AC;? She said she teaches exercise for a living and Artrageous offered something different and fun to do. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I've never tried it before so I thought this would be a good way to try it and see if I like it, see if it's something I'd like to do more of,â&#x20AC;? she said. She said she was familiar with The Red Barns before the event and thought it would be the ideal location to try a few different things. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have so many different artists doing different things at the same location, so it was convenient and I liked it,â&#x20AC;? she said. Campbell said she chose to use self-drying clay for the workshop so participants would have something they could take home with them at the end of the session. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What they're going to be learning is handling. This experience is hand building and the feel of the clay,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today we're doing masks, but

there are many things you can hand build. It's a comfort course because you can sculpt or you can roll out the clay and make bowls or wall plaques, tiles â&#x20AC;&#x201D; your imagination is your limit.â&#x20AC;? She said participants were given two pounds of clay to work with which was flattened and placed on a round surface to form the shape of a mask. When the masks are finished they can be taken home where they are left to dry for about seven days. Once the mask is dry, Campbell said

it can be painted and decorated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's a great starter project because they'll learn to attach clay, they'll learn the feel of clay and they'll get a good idea of what hand building is about,â&#x20AC;? she said. Carol Gander invited visitors to Beach Street Studio for a chance to view her mix of seascape and landscape oil paintings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I paint in oils and I'm just inspired by the area. I live on the water so I do a lot of water and sky and it's just one of those things, I like doing it and it's a passion,â&#x20AC;? she said. Gander said Artrageous offers another important venue for artists in the county, which she said needed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's another venue to expose ourselves to the art community,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully it boosts sales and gets tourists coming down for it.â&#x20AC;? By early Saturday Gander had already seen about 10 visitors who had all been brought to the studio via Taste the County's Artrageous advertising campaign. She said she hopes the event will keep going and hopes to be a part of it in the future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first year of any new event is usually

touchy,â&#x20AC;? she said, adding that even Taste's signature event was slow to get going. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was really a

tough sell in the early going and look at it now, it's a success. Hopefully the same thing will happen here.â&#x20AC;?

PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY

Looking back in the

Picton Gazette 80 years ago — 1932

■ The Demorestville had a record number of entries with 1,800 exhibits, a mark that even surprised experienced secretary W. Wrightmyer. The only department which didn’t see a huge increase in participation was flowers, due to frosts and high winds. ■ The Prince Edward Ministerial Association began planning for a week of prayer to be held in conjunction with other associations around the world in early January. The call for the week came as the associaton’s members discovered life was becoming busier and they often found people spent less time with God. ■A fun day was being planned on Timber Island as it was time for Cecil Bongard to take the 34 pigs he placed there over the summer to market. Hunters invited to boat over to the island and capture the pigs.

50 years ago — 1962

■ A light delivery truck struck a threeyear-old boy on Picton’s Main Street. Although the boy’s head smashed the glass in the truck’s headlight, he escaped without any serious injuries. ■ The Rotary Club of Picton took part in the Books for Tanga campaign, joining people from England, Australia, the United States, and South Africa among others in helping fight for literacy in Kenya. A.J. Currie, a Rotarian from the Tanga club expressed appreciation for the efforts the local club made to assist in the drive. ■At a regional hospital council meeting in Kingston, health care professionals heard from Canadian Hospital Association director Dr. W.D.. Percy, about the changing scene in hospitals, one where patient interaction was to be put ahead of routine.

30 years ago — 1982

■ The chair of the Picton BIA and one of its founding members, Bev Skidmore tendered her resignation, noting she had other projects she wanted to focus on. In her absence, the biggest debate for the organization was whether to focus on more advertising or beautification in efforts to make the downtown thrive. ■ Mayor Don King indicated the Town of Picton didn’t have authority to designate the day of Halloween, considering it was to fall on a Sunday night that year. Some other municipalities had designated a different day for the trick-or-treat campaign. King said he felt that decision should be one that families make. ■ A Bridge Street garage caught the attention of Picton’s mayor and council due to its unsafe condition. Mayor Don King said he checked Ralph’s Motors after every wind storm to ensure it was still standing. It turned out the local architectural advisory committee requested a 30-day stay of demolition to research the history of the building.

10 years ago — 2002

■ Picton’s Anne-Marie Jones was ordained a minster in the Presbyterian Church of Canada in Belleville. The 29year-old joined father Bob as part of the first father and daughter pairing to be ordained as ministers in the church. Both were pastors at St. Andrew’s in Picton. ■ Teachers with the Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board started a work-to-rule campaign after contract talks stalled. The teachers would not participate in any extracurricular activities.

Learned helplessness will not become my lifestyle I plan to retire in two years, when I reach 70. And that has some people worried. While likely I will be retiring this column then too, after 50 years and 2,600 columns, some have visions of me collapsing into a rocking chair on the sundeck, and watching the world go by, confused, and monitored closely by care givers. It won’t be that way. The outdoor program that I have operated for almost 20 years will be phased out gradually. As a one-man show, operating an extensive program as I do involves considerable expense and administration. The high cost of liability insurance has not made it easier either in a world where responsibility has become an off colour word. It has been an exciting part of my career, and very rewarding to show those who register for my guided hikes, a few of my favourite natural areas and teach them how important these areas are in preserving biodiversity and how crucial they are to our very existence. The best part has been leading people as a group into remote areas that most would not have visited on their own due to safety concerns. Truth is, I am jealous. I want to experience the senior years like some of those who register for my hikes. The other day, I watched an 80year-old on a guided hike at Tamworth as she clawed her way up a steep granite escarpment, and upon reaching the top, broke into an infectious smile as she gazed around her at the parade of

fall colours in the forested valley below. When I reach 80 I want to be just like her and many of the others on our hikes who regard age as just a number and continue hiking long distances, challenging trails and conquering obstacles. While many on our hikes have no health issues, others do. Arthritis comes up frequently during conversations behind me, and one has Parkinson’s. Another is 87. Due to angina, he builds up his speed gradually, eventually catching up and levelling off as he joins me in the lead. Others may have health issues, but say nothing, for today, there are no health concerns, as they ingest whatever medication they need, and forge bravely ahead, refusing to give in. These people will live forever because they exercise and are always in a positive frame of mind. I was with some friends a week ago on an eight km trail

A 32-year-old Etobicoke man who was in a hurry on Hwy 62 Sunday has received a summons to appear in Picton court Oct. 26. Just before 1 p.m. that afternoon, a Prince Edward OPP officer on routine patrol spotted a southbound vehicle traveling near Huffs Island Road at a speed of about 138 kilometres

per hour, while driving in a zone posted at 80 kilometres per hour. The man was stopped and the police officer applied the penalties prescribed under the province’s stunt driving law. The man was forced to surrender his vehicle and driver’s licence for a seven-day period.

OUTDOOR RAMBLES TERRY SPRAGUE

at Presqu’ile Provincial Park and we talked about this – retirement, keeping active. We talked about acquaintances we know who retired and became old well before their time, due to inactivity and lack of exercise. Doing nothing is wrong at any age, but as we get older, inactivity results in becoming more withdrawn and apathetic about life in general. Learned helplessness. It starts when we lose faith in our own ability to do anything effectively. On our hike at Presqu’ile, we talked about many things, but what was clear was our passion for hiking. Not only for the exercise – one estimate is 100 calories burned for every kilometer – but also for the experience of being out in nature. There is a spiritual connection within nature that can help us make sense of this crazy world we live in. We passed through mixed forests and fields that make up the heart and soul of Presqu’ile Park, areas that are not experienced by any motorist driving through the park, but enjoyed by anyone who takes this trail that loops through almost the entire peninsula. We entered one section that was cautioned by one of us as “less interesting”. As we disappeared into this abandoned field we stared in awe at the tall goldenrods, festooned with sprigs of New England asters here and there, and knowing that this habitat was its very own little ecosystem. What creatures would we find deep within, had we stopped and probed a bit? As it was, juncos and song sparrows flitted

out of our way as we passed. And from everywhere came the invisible sounds of kinglets and the call notes of yellow-rumped warblers as they searched for remaining insects and spiders. We heard the clucking of chipmunks, a sound synonymous with the fall season. But, contrasting sharply were the peep calls of spring peepers going through their autumnal recrudescence as they respond to shorter days and cooler temperatures, much as they would experience during the cooler spring mating season. It takes a while, but eventually we learn how vitally important and connected everything is in nature. Everything we stumble upon, whether bracket fungi on downed trees, a caterpillar on a leaf, a salamander under a decomposing log, or a fall warbler snatching insects, are important links in biodiversity that are strategically interconnected. How important everything is that we see. It is only during our bumbling efforts to improve or alter, that we upset this natural scheme of things. We spent three hours on this trail, returning to our cars exhausted from the effort, but refreshed mentally. Hikes like this do not age us – they actually make us feel younger.

EARLIER in its term, the current Prince Edward County council welcomed CAO Merlin Dewing into the fold and gave him and senior staff the direction to look for ways to streamline operations for the municipality, while keeping customer service and efficiency within sight at all times. In the months that followed, the municipality has seen some of the most drastic changes to its corporate staffing structure since amalgamation in 1998 and begun processes to understand its own internal culture and refocus its efforts to match the goals council put forward through strategic planning. Certainly, that’s never an easy process for anyone to undertake.There have been many questions raised by municipal staff and taxpayers alike about the need for change, the shape those changes took in the positions created and lost, and the methods in which staff put some hard questions on the table. To their credit, municipal staff knew they had to deal with those hard questions to move forward and they proved they weren’t afraid to come to council with sometimes unpopular proposals in order to have difficult discussions and ultimately give council the information necessary to move forward with a host of actions to reach its goal. Now that councillors have seen a culture develop within their own organization that promotes change and promotes the exploration of ideas that may come from somewhere outside the box, it is only fair that they step to the table and prepare to have the same discussions about the role they play in the municipal process and how it may be made better. It is true that not all of the 16 seats around the table at Shire Hall are elected by the same proportion of electors and it is also true that many cities and municipalities larger than Prince Edward County have fewer councillors representing the electorate than there are here. It is also true that more than 80 per cent of the 9,381 residents who bothered cast ballots in an October 2010 referendum agreed it was time for a public consultation process to review the size of council in the municipality. As councillors reach the halfway point in their terms at Shire Hall, very little has been done to advance that discussion and time is indeed ticking to work through the logistics and propose new models. Perhaps, those models would be more efficient and more suited to the county’s needs than a model crafted for a shotgun amalgamation, whose inadequacy seems to one belief people in most of the wards do agree upon. If there’s no real effort, however, to reach that point, then there’s no telling. Setting up a meeting next month to initiate the public consultation process is a good step, but the councillors must follow the direction they gave to staff to take a real look at the model before them, ask hard questions, and find resolutions. Those resolutions may even include the status quo on wards and numbers, but it has become clear that a haphazard approach no longer fits the bill.

Events at the County public libraries — The good and the bad

The County of Prince Edward Public Library faced a challenge last week, along with other public libraries in the province, when a systems problem affected the Ontario Public Access Catalogue (OPAC) and the in-library Workflows management program. “A database being down is always a cause for concern in today’s high-tech environment,” said Library CEO Barbara Sweet, “and this is especially so when many people rely on it.” Following a routine update of the multi-library database, a back-up glitch caused libraries to be without OPAC or Workflows service from Sunday, Sept. 29 to the morning of Oct. 5, which meant that library members could not access their accounts online. Fortunately, an offline version of the Workflows program helped the County’s library branches to collect basic data such as recording materials returned and checked out from patrons who visited the library in person. “We are relieved that the system is now back up and functioning well, “said library CEO Barbara Sweet, “because we were quite concerned about the inconvenience this was causing our library members.” Sweet is also concerned about lost data. “While the offline Workflows system was implemented, we had not used this version of the program prior to this occurrence, and we are not certain yet that all the information collected is complete and accurate.” Updates and reports are being run and the library will know more next week if any records were lost. In the meantime, the library is advising that if there are any discrepancies with regards to library members’ accounts that they are brought to the attention of library staff. On to the good events, which are some of the highlights of the upcoming programs and workshops being offered at the County of Prince Edward Public Library & Archives this month. A major event is the unique fundraising art show and Sale, DiscARTed, which opens Thursday, Oct. 11 at 7 p.m. upstairs at Books & Company. All are invited to come and see the creative works by 31 artists who have transformed damaged or discarded books into art, utilitarian objects and furnishings. The show is free to attend and half of the proceeds from the sale of pieces will be shared between the library and the Prince Edward County Authors

Main Street park gets hit by yarn bombing

Poitras said she and fellow local artist Nell Casson had been interested in the concept for some time and recently lucked out when an experienced yarn bomber, Linda Cunningham, came to stay in residence at Spark Box. Cunningham had a few of her previous projects supported by the City of Calgary, so she had a portfolio and direction to take to Andrew Morton at the County’s parks and recreation office. “Linda had arrived to work on a book art project at the studio for the month of October, but while here was inspired to install a few knit

objects around the town,” Poitras explained. It was Cunningham who chose the site as it is in a high-traffic area with objects that would be easy to wrap. First, Cunningham asked Poitras and partner Kyle Topping if they’d support her doing so and then, she asked if they knew artists who would be interested in joining in. Casson and her mother Marion, a fibre artist with a studio in Rednersville, quickly signed up as did Joyce Robinson and Michelle Lambton. Looking at the finished product, Poitras said she has

seen people interacting in different ways with the inanimate objects in the park. She said many smiled at the bike rack, which certainly isn’t something she’d usually see. She’s also seen people take pictures of the art and observed many of the comments on Facebook photos have generally been positive. “People are talking about it, which is exactly what any artist would want from a public space,” she said. Poitras and Nell Casson said they’re interested in doing some further work with yarn in public places in the future, including the possibility of putting cozies on some of the parking metres within Picton’s downtown. “A project like that would allow for so many people to be involved and the presence it would have would be amazing,” she said. “Imagine all the parking meters on Main Street dressed up in brightly coloured yarn. What a fun community project.” Thus far, Poitras said the artists have noticed that some pieces of their art have gone missing, but oddly enough other people have been going to the park, fixing the work, and adding pieces of their own so it doesn’t look sloppy. Poitras said the current plan would see the yarn art in place in the park until next Tuesday, though with no negative feedback from County staff, an extension could be possible.

“The numbers haven't changed,” Shortt said. “They're the same as they were before, 34 per cent of the eligible electorate were pushing for this — that's all it works out to.” Shortt ultimately supported the amended motion, to hold a special meeting, saying the original motion tried to force an outcome. “Obviously the proponents are going to love this motion, I had no inkling that it would be any different, I knew exactly what we'd be walking into tonight,” he said. “…At this point it should be taken to the public. Let's ask the public what they want because, let me tell you the public I've spoken to, you're going to be surprised what you get back.” Gale said he felt there was some stonewalling going on

on the part of some councillors, but supported the amended motion. “I feel like I'm being told if you don't play the game my way, get out of my sandbox take your toys home I don't want to play with you anymore,” he said. “You know something, I'm going to go along with this because it will start the process.” Gale said his concern was, if council were to hold a public consultation process, what would happen with the information taken from that process. “If we get 150 people out and 100 people come to the podium and say 'that's what we told you in the election, that's what you should do' and we get 50 people stand up and say 'we like it the way it is' if people like councillor Shortt are going to say 'that's

only 150 people.' “I want to know if we do this process … and the crowd that comes, that invests their time to come out, if the majority of people say 'yes we want you to continue with the process' are you members of council going to go along with the wishes of the people?” Mayor Peter Mertens urged councillors not to push the argument too far into the future as it will soon be too late to make any changes before the next election. “If you're going to decide to start with baby steps or something that puts it off for two or three months, then I would suggest you put a motion on the floor deferring this to the next council, because we won't have time on this council to do it.” No date was set for the special meeting.

A bombing took place just steps from Shire Hall last week, but fear not, it was approved by the County. Armed with yarn, a crew of six artists moved in on the parkette and weaved a bunch of colourful creations on the benches, gazebo, and bicycle racks. One of the artists, Chrissy Poitras of Spark Box Studio, said yarn bombs have become a major trend for artists in larger cities. She indicated there are several reasons for the trend. “So often public spaces are filled with concrete and metal,” she said. “The colours are often blacks, browns, greys, and whites. By installing bright colours in differing patterns, you lift up the space and bring a little bit of fun to it.” Poitras added that street art and graffiti generally have a bad reputation, so yarn bombing has also gained traction as a form of street art that isn’t seen as destructive. “The great thing about it is that purple and pink granny squares wrapped around a bench leg is much harder to hate than a spray painted tag,” she said.

Adding colour Artists Joyce Robinson, Nell Casson, and Michelle Lambton add their yarn designs to a bench in the parkette next to Shire Hall as part of a yarn bombing public art project. (Submitted photo)

Clock is ticking to make changes prior to election

COUNCIL, from page 1

He was also opposed to removing any discussion regarding ward boundaries. “The whole point of this is of course it does take us somewhere,” he said. “If you don't lay down some ground rules, then you aren't necessarily going to go anywhere. We'll hold a meeting, we'll spin our wheels and we go and say we reviewed council when all we really did was discuss our personal views.” As has been the case throughout the discussion on council size, Sophiasburgh councillors Kevin Gale and Terry Shortt sat firmly on opposite sides of the fence. Shortt said this issue shouldn't be forced through council and should have been brought to committee of the whole.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

History continues to happen at the Regent Theatre

Just over a year ago, on Oct. 1, 2011, history was made at the Regent Theatre. The first wedding at the theatre took place as Elizabeth Zylstra and Clinton Hele were united in marriage on the stage by Suzanne Pierson. Zylstra was a volunteer in the theatre while in high school.

George Cook, the founder of the Regent Theatre, would be delighted at the event taking place in his theatre. Cook opened the theatre doors in February 1922 for movies. Cook was very good to all the children in the matinees. I, myself, used to go on Saturday afternoon. Before I was born in 1928,

my mother and father had an apartment across the street from the theatre. On the marquee was posted a movie with Arlie Marks (the Marks Brothers' sister). My mother liked the name and said "If I have a girl, her name will be Arlie." That is how I got my name, thanks to Cook's mar-

quee. After George died, his daughter Louise carried on the movies. Finally, in 1994, the Regent Theatre Foundation bought the theatre from the Cook family. That's my link to this history. Arlie Davidson Picton

Lack of municipal response to questions troubling

I’m beginning to wonder if Mayor Peter Mertens and CAO Merlin Dewing have imposed a code of silence upon the council and municipal staff. Back in August I emailed Mayor Mertens, councillor Jamie Forrester

and commissioner Robert MacCauley about a roads issue. About four weeks later, I hadn’t received any acknowledgement or reply so I thought the e-mail had disappeared somehow and resent it. I still haven’t had any reply.

On a different issue, I twice phoned the roads department and sent an email to the roads department. No one returned my call or e-mail. It’s a sad state of affairs when input, queries or suggestions from the

residents/taxpayers of the County are not wanted or welcomed by council and or municipal staff. Is it any wonder that the voter turnout at local elections is so low? John Blake RR3 Cherry Valley

Small Pond scares up funds, fun Family activity helps Puppets Without Borders

WHATTAM’S COMMUNITY CALENDAR The Community Calendar is donated as a public service to our community by The Whattam Funeral Home, 33 Main St., West, Picton (613-476-2450)

For the second year Small Pond Arts offered families an opportunity to build their own scarecrows in a fun environment and support a cause while they're at it. The Scarecrow Festival began at Galloping Goat Gallery before Krista Dalby and Small Pond Arts took it over two years ago. Dalby said the event has always been done in support of a cause and this year was no different. She said the $20 fee to build a scarecrow would go toward Puppets Without Borders – a program in which Dalby and Susanna Larner will travel to rural Ghana and teach children the art of puppetry. “We're working in rural villages doing puppetry with kids and distributing art supplies, those are our two main projects,” she said. Dalby said the Scarecrow Festival was a fitting way to raise money for Puppets Without Borders as it challenges people to be creative. “One of the things I love about the Scarecrow Festival is it forces people to be creative, people who would not concern themselves with being artistic or artists. “Basically you just give them materials and that creativity just takes over because it's in everybody to create these likenesses of ourselves, as twisted and bizarre as they may turn out to be, but it's something that's innately human to create representations of humans, which is of course just like puppetry,” she

said. She said the charity usually changes every year to make sure a variety of causes are reached. She said the Scarecrow Festival is a good fit at Small Pond Arts. “It really fit with our mandate of creating really accessible community events,” she said. “This in particular is a really great event for families – especially at the Thanksgiving weekend when a lot of people have their families in town with them over the weekend.” She said the event, which invites adults and youth to try their hands at building a scarecrow as well, offers a fun and easy activity. As a couple of families

poured through several boxes worth of clothing Saturday afternoon, Dalby said the event wouldn't be possible without the generous donations of clothing they receive leading up to the festival. “This year we got a big donation from City Revival and a lot of it was left over from last year,” Dalby said. “A lot of people just start dropping stuff off on our porch in the month of September. We come home and there's (donations) pretty much every day.” Last year Dalby said the event was held for one day in which 40 scarecrows were made. The event was extended to two days this year and she said she was hoping to reach her target of 75.

County crafters' creations were at the centre of what Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Auxiliary members hope will be a new fundraising tradition. Saturday morning marked the start of Creations by County Crafters, an event showcasing the work of county artisans while raising money for the hospital. The show took place in the Lipson Room above Books & Company in Picton. Approximately 16 vendors took part in the sale _ another first for the auxiliary, who have historically used their own membership for their fundraising efforts.

Hicks said the organization has held smaller craft shows, but are hoping this show grows into something bigger. Hicks said the funds are badly needed for equipment at the hospital. “We're doing a lot of big fundraisers for the hospital and if we get the go ahead on the new hospital the auxiliary is going to have to raise a lot of money,” she said. She said that makes all auxiliary events that much more important. Hicks said she didn't have a financial goal in mind, but said any money raised through the show is very much appreciated. “It's a lot of work, not only the work in making the things, but getting things here and set up,” she said.

Auxiliary member Joyce Minaker said this is the first time the auxiliary has invited vendors to be a part of a show. “We always just had our own stuff at the hospital and we thought we had to get a little bigger,” Minaker said. Minaker said the organization is hoping to make Creations by County Crafters into an annual show. “We're trying to set a precedent I guess and keep it up and keep it up," she said. “This is the first year so we're learning a lot about how these things work.” Minaker said the show was juried meaning the auxiliary screened all the work in advance of the show to make sure the best

quality items were put on display. However, she said there wasn't a problem finding quality work. “We were very pleased that the ones who did apply were all first rate,”she said. The auxiliary used any medium available to them to spread word of the show, from newspaper and radio ads to posters and word of mouth. Hicks said the auxiliary even used Facebook to a small extent to inform the public, something she and Minaker think county residents will see more often from the organization. “(Try to) get more social media,” Hicks said. “The auxiliary is a pretty big organization, so often word of mouth brings in our own members.” By 9:30 on Saturday morning there was a growing number of curious visitors cresting the top the staircase before being met with an eye-catching array of items. From stuffed bears made from recycled fur coats to photography to knitted hats, there was something to pique a variety of interests. Hicks said the auxiliary wanted to use only county crafters because she said county residents strongly support their own. “The county is really great at supporting each other and promoting the county," said Hicks. "And the money stays in the county. It stays in Picton” Hicks said the quality of all the crafts was excellent and hopes the show will continue to draw residents. The auxiliary's next big fundraising event will be the Festival of Trees which has been relocated to Isaiah Tubbs Resort after four years in the Crystal Palace.

The Kinette Club of Picton wishes to thank the donors who helped make the Loonie Auction, held September 29, 2012 such a success, the facilitators who helped in so many ways and all the people who attended.

Race car and driver fuel students’ interest in technology Metro brings vehicle to Queen Elizabeth School AdAm BrAmBurger

Staff writer

BONELSS PORK CHOPS winning teAm Queen Elizabeth students, from left, Liam Bucknell, Logan Harrington,.Emma Whiten, Hailey and Holly Claxton, Anna Louder, and Emily Manlow pose with driver Dave Connolly and principal Bill Launderville at the Fuel For Kids barbecue at Metro Thursday.. The event raised $1,175 to bring the total money raisedfor the school through two associated barbecue events to $1,855. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

ing how it happened, Connolly has been taking part in a program called Fuel For Kids for the past seven years, working with Metro stores and his sponsors, including Schneiders, to help schools fundraise. “We do 36 Metro stores in Ontario each year,” he said at a fundraising barbecue at the store that evening, held in conjunction with the school’s parent council. “ All our sponsors donated the food, so every nickel we raise goes to the school,” he said. “ At 7:01 they'll get a cheque, all the money will go to the parent council.” Connolly said over the past seven years, $140,000 has been raised for schools, all

while giving young and old alike a thrill at school or in a store parking lot. “We came up with this idea and there aren't a lot of opportunities in life where you can do something really good as part of what you do... it doesn't matter whether they're a boy or girl, how old they are, or if they're a mom or dad, it's a race car in your school yard doing doughnuts. It's fun,” he said, adding every dollar raised Thursday would stay in Picton for whatever the school chooses to use it for. Launderville said the funds will go to both inschool and out-of-school

learning ventures. Metro’s Picton store manager Michelle Hall said the chain’s head office organizes the campaign and it allows stores to choose the schools they want to work with. The grocery store had partnered with Queen Elizabeth in the past on playground projects and elected to do so again. “Queen Elizabeth is a nice little school that can use all the help it can get and we love to support the kids in our community,” she said. Hall also said the program helps build brand loyalty for the store through families recalling their experience with the race car.

The roar of the engines, the smell of exhaust, and the precision of a race car’s movements can really grab attention at a race track. What if, however, a NASCAR Canadian Tire Series (this country’s top stock car circuit) car showed up in a school yard in a quiet, residential neighbourhood with its driver electing to show off some of his moves on the playground? For the students of Queen Elizabeth Public School last Thursday, it was likely a moment they’ll remember for a long time. “The students were telling me it was the coolest thing ever,” said principal Bill Launderville. “NASCAR is huge. Today the kids got the inside track about what it is to be a race car driver.” That afternoon, driver Dave Connolly led the students through a 45-minute presentation on the safety equipment in the car and on his role as driver. He also did a few doughnuts in the yard a safe distance away from the children. Launderville said there is a big push on now to teach students technology and he believed that occurred — giving students a practical lesson and offering a career alternative.

Sign up to receive information about food recalls and follow tips to avoid contamination The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) safeguards food, animals and plants, to enhance the health and well-being of Canada's people, environment and economy. The CFIA develops and delivers programs and services designed to protect Canadians from preventable food safety hazards and to ensure that food safety emergencies are effectively managed. The CFIA website contains information on a wide variety of topics including food recalls, allergy alerts, nutritional labelling, pet imports, food packaging and storage, educational resources for children, animal diseases, pet imports, fertilizers and plant pests. Once on the website you can sign up to automati-

cally receive emails of food recalls and allergy alerts. Most foodborne illness results from poor food handling at home, according to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). Your kitchen could be a high risk environment. Bacteria can thrive in food that is improperly stored or handled. You can reduce the risks by following tips from Canada’s food safety experts contained on the web site www.inspection.gc.ca. 1. Keep separate cutting boards for raw meat, poultry and seafood and a different one for ready-to-eat and cooked foods. Clean and sanitize cutting boards after each use. Plastic cutting boards can be easily cleaned in the dishwasher.

2. Wash the lids of canned foods just before opening them to prevent dirt from getting into the food. Clean the can opener’s blade after every use. 3. Take small appliances apart (food processors, meat grinders and blenders) right after you use them, and clean and sanitize them thoroughly. 4. Air dry dishes and utensils

if you can, or dry them with clean kitchen towels. Wash and sanitize towels, sponges and cloths often to prevent bacteria from growing. 5. Clean the pantry regularly, keeping food off the floor. Store food in sealed containers. 6. Thoroughly wash and sanitize containers and utensils that were in contact with raw food before you reuse them. 7. If you have an infection or cut on your hand, cover it with a bandage and then wear disposable gloves when preparing food. But remember: gloves pick up bacteria, too. Change gloves frequently and wash gloved hands as often as bare hands. 8. Use a food thermometer to measure the internal temperature of your food.

How to find the right home

The first step in the home buying process is figuring out what you can afford. “Once you have an idea of the home price you can afford, it’s time to meet with your Realtor to figure out what kind of home you can buy for that price and where it may be located,” says Ron Abraham, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association. “Your Realtor will be able to guide you through the home buying process and advise you on your best possible options based on your financial

situation and home buying wish list.” Choosing a location is the next factor to consider in the home buying process, according to Abraham. “Urban or suburban neighbourhood? Big city, small city or rural area? Once you know where you want to live, you can start thinking about the type of home and features that suit your needs best.” He recommends homebuyers consider the following when looking for a home: Features – determine your ‘needs’ – things your new home must have in order for you to be

comfortable – and ‘wants’ – things you would like to have if you can afford them and if they are available. Your strategy should be to find a home within your price range that fulfills all or most of your ‘needs’ and as many of your ‘wants’ as possible. Type of home – are you adamant on buying a single-family detached home, or would you consider a semi-detached or town home? Perhaps a condominium will give you enough space in your ideal location. Your Realtor can show you various types of homes in your price range, and help you determine the one that best suits

your lifestyle. New or resale – if you’re keen on applying your own personal touch to your home, then a new home may be what you’re looking for. On the flip side, resale homes often include additional features for little or no additional cost. Older resale homes can also offer charm or character often not available in new designs. When looking for a home, be sure to explore the communities that seem to be the most likely candidates. Take advantage of viewing open houses when available and be sure to speak to your Realtor about the neighbourhood you’re

considering. Most Realtors specialize in certain areas and will be able to answer any questions about the market, or neighbourhood you’re interested in. Homebuyers can also get ideas on finding the neighbourhood that’s best for them through "Choose your own adventure: Realtor style" http://bit.ly/neighbourhoodOREA.

— Horoscopes —

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you may need some creative strategies to clear up some conflicts in your schedule this week. You must be quite popular since you have so much going on. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, there's so much to get done this week that you may not know where to begin. Making a list of your responsibilities may help you get organized. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you may be on the fence about making a large purchase, but the stars indicate that now could be a good time to buy and things will work in your favor financially. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, instead of rushing along through the daily grind, take some time to slow down and enjoy the scenery along the way. This will help you clear your head and relax. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, the weekend will not be fun unless you finish up all of your work at the office. Don't procrastinate and leave all the difficult tasks until next week. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, there are serious things to consider with respect to your family life, and not all of the conversations will go your way. Be patient and work through everything a little at a time.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, whether feedback from work is positive or negative, rest assured that hard work will ultimately garner some recognition. Keep working hard and all will work out. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 No one is going to know how you feel unless you speak up, Scorpio. Don't slink into the shadows; get out in the open and have your voice heard. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Projects around the house seem to grow with every passing day, Sagittarius. If you do not think you can get them all done on your own, it may be time to hire a professional. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Experiencing car troubles, Capricorn? This may be the ideal time to go shopping for a new vehicle. A new ride can lift your spirits and put to rest those fears about your current vehicle. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Don't work yourself silly, Aquarius. It's good to be productive and company-minded, but not if it comes at the price of your health. Recharge before you tackle anything else. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, while it can be challenging to sit idle, lazy days are very often great ways to catch up on some rest and personal time.

The County Show goes on in producerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s absence Pasternak encouraged by response to latest musical

fee shop to send the script on. She said she found it especially amazing that Fennell was able to do the guitar parts of the performance despite never being taught the songs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never ever taught those girls the guitar parts,â&#x20AC;? she said. As for the show's content, Pasternak said the stories included in the show were chosen because she said from a dramatic point of view they were some of the richest stories she has collected. The music for the show had already been written with some being close to 20 years old. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was easy and fast for me to put that together, but it was definitely the dramatic aspect of those stories,â&#x20AC;? she said. Pasternak said the response to both show

times was very encouraging. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The people who were there said they didn't recognize anybody in the audience, which is good news in show business â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it's not like all my friends just showing up,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I've developed a real audience over the years, which is really exciting.â&#x20AC;? Despault said the show was a collection of dramatic highlights and songs from plays like 1918 Child Soldier, Renegade Rum Runners, Minerva and The Lily Sisters. Each of the stories has a common theme in their historical connection to Prince Edward County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both Suzanne and I are history buffs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially local stuff,â&#x20AC;? Despault said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We've always played music together, but these projects we're developing now are a new idea for us, a

labour of love for the both of us.â&#x20AC;? The intimate setting at the Black River Chapel also offered a connection to the theme, Despault said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Black Creek and all of these little towns are thrown into these stories,â&#x20AC;? he said. Despault said residents can expect more collaboration between himself and Pasternak. Pasternak said her only regret was not being able to take part in the show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That's one of your worst fears when you're producing a show is that the lead actor is going to get sick,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, this was like my worst, worst nightmare that I wouldn't be able to show up for my own show. The talent on that stage was phenomenal, so I really had no worries.â&#x20AC;?

15TH ANNUAL

Even without an integral piece of the puzzle the premiere of The County: Our Legends, Folklore and Music was a rousing success. The latest in the Kerosene Lamp Concert Series and the brainchild of Suzanne Pasternak, the show was forced to go on without Pasternak who could not attend due to family reasons. Pasternak wrote the script for the show and wrote the music along with Mark Despault. Starring Emily Fennell, Natasha Pasternak, Despault, David Colwell and Rick Zimmerman, the show featured stories and songs from Suzanne Pasternak's many plays, more than five in total. Two show times on Saturday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; were very well attended. The evening showing was especially full with the benches at Black River Chapel filled to capacity. Pasternak said the inspiration for the show came out of a desire to get back to creating something after dealing with illness over the past couple of years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hadn't done anything at all creatively, so I wanted to get back into that world again,â&#x20AC;? she said. She said Fennell and daughter Natasha approached her about going back to their childhood and playing some of the music they grew up with in Pasternak's plays. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They wanted to do it at Black River Chapel and kind of get back to their roots,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have such a huge body of work at this point, all historically based from Prince Edward County and an awful lot of music I've written over the years, so I thought it would be a good idea to do a compilation and see how that went.â&#x20AC;? Pasternak said this could become a yearly show she could put together each summer. She said it was much simpler than putting together a full theatrical production and worked really well, even in her absence. She praised Despault for his ability to take control and lead the production. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He really became captain of the ship,â&#x20AC;? she said. She said the entire cast pulled together when she couldn't attend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything they read was everything I was supposed to be doing and it was all in my head,â&#x20AC;? she said, adding that she had to find internet access at a cof-

Pirates now 50 after beating Jets, Panthers Sizer keeps unbeaten streak in tact with shootout winner on the road Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

Back-to-back games offered a challenge for the local Junior C club this week, but the Pirates remain undefeated. With a close 4–2 win over Amherstview Thursday before taking a 2–1 shootout victory over the Port Hope Panthers on Friday, Picton has increased their win streak to five games. Pirates coach and general manager Ryan Woodward said he was pleased with the results and the team's response to playing back-to-back games. “It's a challenge we're going to have to face 12 times this year, it totals 24 games on our schedule, so we're happy to win the first set of back-to-backs,” he said. “At this stage of the season there's a lot to work on, but the boys are finding ways to win.” The Pirates roared out of the gate, firing pucks from everywhere at Jets goalie James D'Andrea and racking up 17 shots on goal in the first 20 minutes to Amherstview's four. Brian Bunnett was able to get Picton the lead when he fired a shot from the slot to beat D'Andrea with Eric

Hayes and Geoff Cleminson getting the helpers. The remaining 16 minutes of the first would remain scoreless despite the Pirates getting a lot of chances. The Pirates continued to out-chance the Jets in the second, but it was Cassidy Bruni tying the game 8:05 into the period. Ryan Sizer responded with a Picton goal 17 seconds later to regain the lead, but with five minutes to go Jesse Stone again knotted the game with a timely power-play goal heading into the third. Woodward said the team did well fighting frustration. “It was the first opportunity to face some adversity as a team. We had opportunities to score goals, but their goaltender played great,” he said. “The guys went into the third period tied and they dug down deep in the third.” He said he asked the team to play responsible defensively and not cheat on offence. He said with some timely saves from goaltender Adam Wood the team was able to get two points.

Late-period Hawks goal deflates Dukes’ effort

Rival Trenton hands Wellington third straight loss Chad Ibbotson Staff writer

The Wellington Dukes are looking ahead to their next challenge after their third loss in a row. The team lost 5–2 to the Trenton Golden Hawks — who lead the OJHL's East Division — on Friday, giving the Dukes a 3-1-0-6 record through 10 games. The Dukes got off to a solid start in the first period. Evan Erickson scored less than two minutes into the period to give Wellington a 1–0 lead. Cam Nicoll assisted on the tally. The Dukes were able to hold the lead for the majority of the period and out-shot the Golden Hawks 13–7 through the first 20, but Trenton took advantage of a late-period opportunity. With just 25 seconds remaining in the frame Erlich Doerksen was able to put the puck behind Wellington goaltender Hayden Lavigne to tie things up. Loren Ulett and Nolan Martin recorded assists on a goal that Dukes coach and general manager Marty Abrams said was a deflating one for his team. “Looking back I think it did. It's been a bit of a problem for us early in the season, giving up late-period goals,” Abrams said. “We've had it happen to us a few times this year and it's something we're

aware of, just a lack of focus in the last couple minutes of each period has really been an issue for us early in the year.” The Dukes weren't able to bring the same type of intensity they had in the early going of the first period and

Trenton took advantage in the second. Ryan Johnson scored with Doerksen and Brady Wiffen getting the helpers and before the halfway point of the second Wellington was down by a goal. The Dukes responded less

than three minutes later when Jake Marchment beat Golden Hawks goaltender Victor Adamo. Nicoll added his second assist of the night and Kyle Paat had the other assist on the play.

Exactly half way through the regular season, the PECI Senior Boys Soccer team is the class of the Bay of Quinte Athletic Conference. PECI's latest triumph, a 5-0 whitewash of the visiting Nicholson Crusaders Thursday evening offered a view as to why the undefeated club is leading the way in the Bay of Quinte. The club's high tempo offence was was sparked by a pair of goals from Damien Wadforth while Dallas Hunter, Reid Moss and Scott McQuaid all had singles. And when challenged, PECI keeper Matt Gallo was there to deny any Crusader that dare send a volley his way. The win gave the Pan-

said his club, which has collectively had much success during their careers at PECI, is putting in the effort required to win soccer

games. “We are dominating through hard work and we have a talented group,” Pickard said. “In goal, I'd put Matt Gallo up against any goalie in the league and out defensive corps are very solid. Anytime an opposing team gets over half with the ball, we've been really quick at shutting it all down.” With a dozen returnees this season, the squad has the capability of performing well at the Central Ontario championships next month although it may be a tad early to start thinking about tournament that serves as an entry to the Ontario championships next spring. On the junior side of the ball, the Panthers were declawed by the Crusaders 6-2.

Wellington to concentrate on maintaining focus for full 60 minutes, improving power play

DUKES, from page 22

But again the Dukes were deflated with a quick response from Trenton on a Truman Landowski marker with Wiffen and Robbie Hall tallying assists. Abrams said players were trying to get back to playing at the same pace they were in the first period and when teams do that sometimes they give up some chances they normally wouldn't. “Certainly we knew as the game went on it seemed like

they were getting stronger and having more puck possession time and when you have the puck usually good things happen,” he said. “They just had the puck a lot more than we did through the last half of the game.” Wiffen added a goal with 20 seconds remaining in the period to give the Golden Hawks a 4–2 lead heading into the final 20 minutes. Wellington was out-shot 14–9 in the second and with the team fading, Abrams said he used the intermission to

tell the club to get back to the style they played to begin the game. “I just said we need to get back to the way we were skating in the first period. When we do that we create offence. When we skate, we create,” he said. Ryan Johnson scored the lone goal of the third 10:13 into the frame as the Golden Hawks took the 5–2 victory while out-shooting the Dukes 10–6 in the third and 31–28 overall. Abrams said the club is

taking the rough patch to start this season as a learning experience, trying to take away some knowledge out of tough losses like Friday's. “We need to make sure that, on this club, we need to forecheck and skate hard for 60 minutes,” he said. “That will come in time, but right now they're still trying to find their way try to learn the fact that you have to play 60 minutes to be successful in this league.” The club will have had a full week off before facing

Kingston on Friday. Abrams said he will take the time to practice and focus on tightening up some things. “We're going to continue to work on the power play. It's been slow coming out of the gate here and the other thing is we've been working pretty hard on our defensive zone coverage and we're going to continue to do that,” he said. “We've got Kingston coming in here on Friday who are a very potent offensive team and we need to play well in our own end and

away from the puck.” He said the club will continue to try to eliminate times in the game where the team falls off track or loses focus. “If we can get this team to focus in for 60 minutes I think they'll win more games than they lose,” Abrams said. The club faces Kingston Friday night at 7:30 at the Essroc Arena and will travel to Pickering Saturday to face the Panthers at 6:30 before again taking home ice against Aurora at 1 p.m. on Sunday.

Thursday's game was tight, but looked like a shootout compared to Friday. Woodward said the team may have been a bit fatigued, but the club still managed to keep the chances even. However, it was Port Hope who drew first blood. “Port Hope came out with a lot of jump in their legs, really put some pressure on the back end,” Woodward said. Two minutes into the first period Shawn Mackie con-

nected with Dalton Lawrence and Dan Lagrois to give the Panthers the lead. The teams traded chances for the remainder of the period, but either one was able to gain any ground. The same could be said of the first 18 minutes of the second. The Pirates were outshot 14–7, but Andrew Burness was able to make the most of an opportunity to tie the game with two minutes to go in the second stanza.

The final 20 minutes and the overtime remained scoreless, so the game went to the shootout where Sizer again proved his prowess, getting the game-winning goal. Woodward said Sizer is off to a great start this year and, as a veteran, has expanded his game. “He's playing the game in the dirty areas this year, at least to start, and we've talked to him about bringing the puck to the net, using some of

his size, length and speed and trying to score some dirty goals,” said Woodward. “He's been doing a good job in and around the net and scoring some big goals for us.” Goaltender Wood was instrumental in the win, notching 43 saves. “Adam Wood was fantastic in net. He was the difference for us on Friday,” said Woodward. The coach also praised the work of the defence compli-

ment of Brad Jacklin, Riley McGuire, Brandon Peever, Jeremiah Doherty, Braeden Walsh and Burness. “The group of them have been solid. They've done everything we've asked of them so far,” he said. The Pirates hope to continue their impressive play this week with back-to-back games against Campbellford in Picton Thursday at 7:30 and Friday at 8 p.m. in Port Hope.

PIRATES, from page 22

An early goal from Sizer, with assists from Mitchell Smith and Evan Greer, got the Pirates going just two minutes into the final frame. Greer added another with the Jets' goaltender pulled to seal the deal. “We were able to find a win. It's all good signs, all good lessons. It's something we need to improve on,” Woodward said.

MEMORIAMS

EVERALL, In loving memory of a dear Mom and Grandmother, Elizabeth "Liz" Everall, who passed away October 12, 2005. I glanced into the mirror Never dreaming that I'd see A face, one so familiar Yet you were looking back at me. I saw your loving smile, so warm That crinkle round your eyes I heard your gentle laughter Your often soothing sighs. While reading stories to my children I heard your voice in mine, I pause and think of years gone by another place and time. You nurtured me and watched me grow Held me when I creid An through I often stumbled, You were always by my side You shared the love of God with me Taught me how to pray And often when unsure You helped me find my way. I'm often told I'm just like you A compliment I treasure For within my heart I know we share a love beyond all measure. Love you and miss you Mom, Love, Karen and family.

Memorial for Heather King

July 14, 1943-October 11, 2011

As We Remember You In the rising of the sun and in its going down, we remember you. In the blowing wind and in the chill of winter, we remember you.

In the opening of buds and in the rebirth of spring, we remember you.

In the blueness of the sky and in the warmth of summer, we remember you. In the rustling of leaves and in the beauty of autumn, we remember you. When we are weary and in need of strength, we remember you.

Still missing you every day Mom, love Sheryl. We love you Nana, love Zac and Tessa. Thinking of you, love Jim.

CLAPP, Margaret Elizabeth

In Memory of Al Korchuk October 15, 2010 Someone watches over us The one who is in Heaven above Who looks down with love Like he did on Earth Still he lives on in our hearts now and forever. Rememberdc Always

TONY STILL

In loving memory of a dear son and brother “Tony” Anthony Arthur, who passed away suddenly October 19, 1973. Do not stand at my grave and weep; I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn’s rain. When you awaken in the morning’s hush, I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there, I did not die. Lovingly remembered by his family.

When we have joys we yearn to share, we remember you.

MEMORIAM

We sat beside your bedside Our hearts we crushed and sore, We did our best to the end Till we could do no more. In tears we watched you sinking, We watched you fade away; And though our hearts were breaking, We knew you could not stay. You left behind some aching hearts That loved you most sincere, We never shall and never will Forget you husband, father, grandfather dear. With Love, Mary, Harold, Carol, Ann Marie, Russell, Jordan, Trevor, Dylan

ROSE- In loving memory of a dear husband, father and grandfather, George N. Rose, who passed away October 13, 1998. In our hearts your memory lingers Sweetly tender, fond and true, There's not a day dear George That we do not think of you. You are where we cannot see you And your voice we cannot hear Yet we know you walk beside us Never absent, always near. Always loved and remembered Edra, Sandra, Rick and Susan, and all the grandchildren.

Meanwhile, in junior play, the Panthers have yet to find the win column, though coach Andrew Wentworth said his players are improving with each game they play. Whereas other teams are cutting their benches down dramatically to only their top players, the Panthers have been playing all 13 girls in order to build up valuable game experience for future years.

Mason Norlock had both goals for the Panthers who are slowly finding their legs this season. Sporting a 2-2-0 record through four contests, Pickard said that when the club has come together and played as a team, wins have been easy to find. “We're a very skilled team but when we don't play

together, we are easy to play against,” Pickard said. “When we are passing the ball and moving it around to another, we tend to win and that wasn't the case in our loss to Nicholson.” PECI visits Bayside tonight and hosts East Northumberland in a make up game Tuesday, Oct. 16. Kickoff for the seniors is 3 p.m. while the juniors get underway at 4:30 p.m.

The PECI Panthers earned a split in their last two Bay of Quinte senior basketball games, but they likely felt they should have a split. At Moira last Thursday, the Panthers went into halftime up one on the Trojans, only to see the hosts win 2820 after the Panthers failed to generate a single basket in the fourth quarter. While neither team was producing well offensively, Moira effectively limited PECI’s biggest theat, which is working the ball down low to Courtney Wilson. “They double-teamed Courtney every time,” said coach Rob Garden. “We have to work on her being able to kick the ball out and our guards being confident enough to shoot. “ He reasoned that would break the coverage and allow the Panthers to have success with the strength of Wilson and Alyssa VanRossum in tight. Despite that, Garden said he felt the Panthers put forward their best team effort of the young season early, but ultimately faltered at the free-throw line when given a chance to seal the victory. “We were five for 23 from the free throw line, you can't expect to shoot that percentage and win games,” he said. “Otherwise, that’s an even

Contemplate remedial pruning now, but wait until late winter to make your cuts

time to remove berries as well. One of the reasons for making the decisions to prune at this time rather than at the time pruning will take place is that it is easier to remember which shrubs did well and which appeared to be less attractive, for reasons other than drought, during the summer. Also, hopefully it is easier to remember which shrubs you actually have as there are differences in timing and type of remedial pruning required based on the plant genus and or even species. Keeping plant tags or the information on the plant tags in one place can help with this process. Sometimes only

the genus name, the first of the two Latin names on the tag, is needed but with others the species or second, name is needed as well. Furthermore, plants that are grafted, require special attention. All suckers from below the graft must be remover to preserve the integrity of the plant. So if you have your list in hand you can now do some research and make decisions as to when and even if pruning is required. If you have lots plants requiring remedial pruning and may not have the energy or the helpers to do it all, it is best to reduce the critical list to a size that can be tackled successfully. Pick the most desperate situations or the shrubs that are your favourites and are not doing well. Being overwhelmed is rarely useful when trying to accomplish tacks. If pruning has been rather haphazardly done in the past, you can also look at setting up routine schedules once the remedial work has been done. Since these stretch over the spring and summer they are not as daunting and a schedule is likely to increase the possibility that the timing will be appropriate for that shrub. Finally, remedial pruning may be required in the spring as a result of harsh winter storms, such as serious ice storms, particularly when coupled with heavy winds. These cannot be planned for and often cannot be responded to immediately except where they cause safety hazards.

As you clean up your tools to put them away for the winter pay special attention to your pruning tools. Since they are likely to be used earlier that usual, these tools should be ready to use. Sharpening is done best with warm hands. Make sure that the tools you have are up to the job you want to do or else put the missing tools on a Christmas wish list or other early buying plan. There is nothing more frustrating that to try and prune with tools that are dull or the wrong size for the job required. Sources for pruning information include all the usual sources â&#x20AC;&#x201D; libraries, friendsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; libraries, book stores and of course the Internet. The internet sources that I use did not respond to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;remedial pruningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for shrubs but only for trees. While I have not discussed trees in this article, they can also require regular and/or remedial pruning. There are usually ongoing needs for pruning with new/young fruit and other trees. The information sources are the same. When dealing with large damaged trees, experts are usually required. Avoid using anyone who wants to patch trees, as trees do the best job at developing their own patches. - To have your gardening questions answered, send an email to askamastergardener@xplornet.com Questions will be answered directly by Email and your question may appear in our weekly column

carried out at these times because it will encourage new growth which will be highly vulnerable to winter cold. Also, such a late production of new growth will weaken the total shrub so that it is more vulnerable to being badly damaged or killed by the winter cold. For many shrubs the best time to carry out remedial pruning is during the late winter dormancy period while for others it is early or even late spring. If you have been remiss in regular pruning you can carry that out at this time as well. Flowers that produce berries or rose hips are not dead headed unless these berries are not desired so this can be a good

Whether or not the shrubs in your garden get regular maintenance â&#x20AC;&#x201D; pruning to remove dead or damaged twigs, dead flowers and to even improve the shapeliness of the overall shrub, there often comes a time when the shrub has just not bloomed as well or looked as attractive as it has in previous summers. Now is the time to contemplate remedial pruning, and generally the best time to make this decision even though late summer or fall is the worst time to actually carry out such work. As was pointed out in an earlier column, pruning, other than to remove dead flowers or branches, is not

GALA EVENT AND AUCTION The second event, a dinner at Casa Dea Winery was held on Aug 11th. This Gala Event and Auction displayed the ‘Spirit of the County’ in many ways. The plan was to provide a county meal supplied by local producers. What a joy it was seeing the farmers respond to this initiative. Once the plan was outlined local farmers, including Channels Market of Wellington, the Hagerman, Laundry and Rutgers families of Picton, VanGrootheest Farms of Bloomfield, Vickies Veggies of Black River, the Rabbie Family of Northport, and Black’s from Huff’s Island all came forward with offers of fresh vegetables to make the meal. Not only providing what we asked for but saying, “Is that all? If there is anything else we have lots more.” Dick Prinzen of Bloomfield offered all the chicken needed for appetizers and alternative meals. Local food stores, Sobey’s, of Picton and Andrew and Emily’s No Frills both made donations of items that were needed for the meal and then there was Cline Pierson and Family from Foodland in Wellington who said “Where is your list,” “How many dozen rolls, OK, what is next,” and finished off the list. This generosity poured out from all of these County people to set the stage for a successful event. We could not ask everyone for something to be donated. Some people have already indicated, “you didn’t ask me”, “why did you not come to me for an auction item”. That is the spirit of the community and the ‘heart’ of Prince Edward County. The need was there, Cardiac rehab is important. The event was an opportunity for the people of Prince Edward, and surrounding areas to react to the Cattlemen’s initiative and come forward with support. Yes, that is what we got. An enjoyable evening, a lovely setting at the Casa Dea Winery culminating in an exciting and fun filled auction. Items, that were donated by local

businesses, artisans, generous people, and a few special individuals that can bake a great pie, cake, or lemon square were up for auction. What a pleasure to go and ask for a donation and have people offer something that was far beyond your expectations. The bottom line, all those great county people want to help, want to support and are extremely generous. To make a successful fund raising auction it takes people coming with a goal, not looking for bargains like you might at the local auction or flea market but having fun and supporting the event. That is exactly what happened. When someone says, “ no I don’t want to pay $450 for that custom made screen door, I want to pay $500” the spirit was set. Then with pies and cakes selling for $500 each, need we say any more. The event was a tremendous success. Local farmer a great supporter of this event, Larry Reynolds now has some expensive desserts and displays ‘That True County Spirit’. Thanks Larry! The third and Grand Finale, was the steer show. The main focus of our fundraising event had a new twist this year. ‘Sid’ the ‘Celebrity Steer’ was a steer purchased early in the year by the Steer Show Committee. He was fed and raised through donations of feed and housing by the Baitley family and Prince Edward Nutrition. He then became the headline event for the auction preceding the sale of the steer show steers. This feature event attracted a number of bidders but the team of doctors from the PEFHT prevailed with a winning bid of $10,300.00, all of which was going directly to the fundraiser. Our great business and individual supporters, most having purchased a steer many times at steer shows in the past 10 years, were not outdone in ‘County Spirit’, paying record amounts at this very special event. Ken Morton of Deerhaven Farm and Garden of Belleville purchased

the Grand Champion Steer and also bought a second steer later in the evening, with a total of $9,900.00 of which almost 40% went to the fund raising event. Other great supporters include, Tom Dmytar, Jason Doxsee of DMD Mechanical Services, Bay of Quinte Insurance Co., Waring House Restaurant, Bioniche Life Sciences Inc., and David and Julie Carr of Carr Septic Services. The total commissions added nearly $12,000.00 to this Cardiac Rehab Equipment fund raiser. Thanks also to Ted Aman for providing complimentary processing for Sid.

What can you say, the goal was met and surpassed and who can we thank. You, the people of this community. You came forth and made each and every event a success. Your generous support was ‘The Real Prince Edward County Spirit’.
