While staff advised against moving forward without more study of the impact on existing local businesses, council voted Tuesday evening to approve official plan and zoning bylaw amendments for a proposed commercial development on Loyalist Parkway across from Picton NoFrills.

The amendment to the official plan was required to allow a commercial building with a floor area greater than 2,000 square metres, while the zoning bylaw amendment would permit a new food store and additional retail units.

Staff had presented recommended amendments, but council turned those down in favour of amendments put forward by the developer. The municipality and the developer had been negotiating the amendments for several months.

The decision was made in a recorded vote of 9–7 with councillors Bill Roberts, Lenny Epstein, Jamie Forrester, Gord Fox, Treat Hull, Janice Maynard, and Mayor Robert Quaiff voting in opposition. A motion to approve the staff recommendation lost in a recorded vote by the same margin.

Councillor Dianne O'Brien was among those who spoke in support of the developer's preferred amendments.

Scarecrow Festival perfect venue for Thanksgiving family fun Small Pond Arts attracts about 400 people from near and far for crafty way to share the fall season CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

For Ottawa resident Jamie McCormick this weekend's seventh annual Scarecrow Festival at Small Pond Arts offered some wholesome family time.

McCormick said he and his family were spending the

Proudly serving Prince Edward County since 1830

Thanksgiving weekend camping at Sandbanks Provincial Park. Upon taking a drive around Prince Edward County, the family came across the Scarecrow Festival in a moment of serendipity.

“We just saw the sign at the corner so we thought we'd try it,” he said, taking a moment

away from building a scarecrow with daughter Lea. “We're having a great old time.”

It was actually the family's second time in Prince Edward County this year. They had visited in the summer when the high water levels hid a good portion of Sandbanks' beaches.

“We thought we'd come

back and see what it looked like in the fall,” he said. “We were here in July and that's when the water was so high and the beaches weren't the same, so we wanted to come back in the fall and see it now that the water is down.”

See SCARECROWS, page 12

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

On Sunday, opponents of wpd Canada’s White Pines Wind Project will take their concerns to the street in a half-hour march from Cold Storage Road to a rally at the Regent Theatre.

South Marysburgh councillor Steve Ferguson said the event was timed specifically to coincide with Oct. 15, which is the date the Environmental Review Tribunal has allowed wpd Canada full freedom to do work on the sites of the nine remaining proposed turbines that comprise the amended project.

“That’s the day they can effectively begin construction,” Ferguson said. “That presumes all the Blanding’s turtles have hibernated or found their nesting grounds. I question whether that is going to have happened given the beautiful day we had (Tuesday),” he said. “It’s another farce and another issues as a result of the Green Energy Act, which is going to have an impact on this endangered species.”

Ferguson recently held two information meetings in South Marysburgh designed to keep his constituents informed about the work wpd is undertaking and the municipality’s response to it.

STAFF WRITER

George Emlaw loved few things more than spending time with his dairy cattle, but to ask anyone who knew the affable South Marysburgh farmer, he had quite a way with his fellow man too.

A pillar of his community for many years, Emlaw had served as a director at the Black River Cheese Factory for 40 years — 15 of them as president, and he’d also been a prominent member of the Prince Edward Federation of Agriculture, dairy and fruit and vegetable industry associations, and an effective 4-H leader. He was a director at the Milford Fair, too. Last fall, George and his wife Sandra were inducted into the Quinte Agricultural Hall of Fame.

At his induction ceremony, Emlaw spoke about what drove his involvement. “In all these years, I can never remember anyone not pitching in when help was needed. We did this for the good of our rural communities and to make things just a little bit better for our families.�

After Emlaw died peacefully at Hospice Prince Edward Saturday at age 77, some of the people his kindness touched shared just what that caring soul offered to those in South Bay and much farther afield.

Bill Creasy, a fellow dairy farmer and director at Black River Cheese said Emlaw had a welcoming, positive way about him. “He was probably the best

DRAKE DEVONSHIRE

A FARMER AND A FRIEND George Emlaw, pictured here with his wife Sandra, made a difference to others in his community with his welcoming, supportive nature and willingness to lend a hand. (Submitted photo)

friend I ever had,� Creasy said. “It was just the way he was. If you had any problems, he always had an open ear. He didn’t have time for whiners and whimperers, but if it was something really serious he was always there for the people. He didn’t like people to be too negative. “At the cheese factory, we had a tough time to keep things going over the years and he’d say, “You know, Bill, the easiest way is to do nothing. That’s not an option.’ He was always just determined to make Black River Cheese survive.�

Creasy said Emlaw’s cattle were a huge part of his life and he remembers being there the day Emlaw couldn’t keep his herd any more. It was an incredibly emotional day. “He said, ‘Bill, this is the worst day of my life.’ He didn’t want to see his cows go‌â€?

Since he and Sandra bought their farm on County Rd. 13 and built their family, Emlaw was known as an innovator as he made that Holstein her stronger and innovated by supporting technologies like milking parlours, haylage, and storing manure as slurry. He wanted to help other farmers do likewise as he helped found the Prince

Edward Diary Improvement Association in the 1980s and served as its chair for 15 years.

Creasy said Emlaw would always choose to be hands on with his cows. He didn’t particularly like working with machinery and when the two were growing tomatoes for a Waupoos canning company “he couldn’t get out of that part of farming fast enough.�

After working fields together with Emlaw and spending time in business together, what keeps coming back to Creasy, however is how Emlaw was received not just by his close friends, but also by others in the community and in agriculture. “We’ve had a real good relationship. We’ve been places with George and Sandra and met a lot of nice people through them. It seemed as though he knew almost everyone. If he didn’t know them personally, he knew where they farmed.�

That friendliness would be a hallmark in Emlaw’s personal life.

Lori Farrington considers herself a part of the his extended family after growing up with George’s daughters Aynsley, Vicki, and Becky. On trips, he wasn’t afraid to approach others. “On family vacations, we’d often have to wait for George because he was deep in conversation with every stranger he happened to sit next to or ride an elevator with. He taught us to appreciate people and their personal stories,� she said.

PECI brings in $1,918 during Terry Fox Run Heffernan provides inspiration as students unite to fight cancer JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER

Once again, Panther Pride was out in full force as Prince Edward Collegiate Institute came together to support its annual participation in the Terry Fox run on Thursday afternoon.

The school has been taking part in the annual non-competitive charity event since the midto-late 1980s and raised $1,918 as its 2017 contribution that will go towards cancer research.

As the school transitions from a secondary facility to junior and senior high school this year, this fall marked the first time Grade 7 and 8 students participated in the event.

“Since September we are all one big family,” PECI educator Greer Koutroulides said. “It's been great to see how the Grade 7 and 8 students are adapting into the life of the school and participating in events like these.”

The senior elementary panel

of classes conducted home room challenges to raise money for the event and took part in the run/walk on Thursday alongside the older secondary students.

In terms of fundraising, Mr. Molloy's class was the top fundraising group while Hunter Van Vlack was the top individual fundraiser.

Abigail Heffernan was front and centre at Thursday's event.

The Picton native has been fighting acute lymphoblastic leukemia and took time out of her treatment schedule to pose with the student body at the rear of the school for the first Grade 712 photo in PECI's history.

“She's our 'Strong-as-a-Panther' and it's always awesome to see her here at the school when she can be,” Koutroulides added.

Heffernan was expected to address her fellow PECI students yesterday at the 'Givewhere-you-live' fundraiser that's taking place of the Pedal For Hope bike tour that typically took place in the spring.

Despite the tight timeline

First Seniors Making Waves radio play to debut Sunday

The third anniversary of community radio in Prince Edward County will be celebrated with the launch of a new radio play series Sunday.

The 99.3 County FM-produced play A Fluid Enterprise will debut at 2 p.m. at Macaulay Museum.

The series, called Seniors Making Waves, is a special project funded by a federal program called New Horizons for Seniors.

These four plays are written by renowned local authors, acted by seniors and is “all county” in content.

A rollicking look at rum running days on Main Duck Island and Milford during the roaring ‘20s, A Fluid Enterprise features an original story by County storyteller Janet Kellough and is adapted for stage by Ken Murray and Pearl Hucul.

The second play set to premiere Dec. 6 at Huff Estates Winery and is a new work written by Suzanne Pasternak.

“The live performances of these plays will be rebroadcast across our listening area at a later date” said Deb Simpson, 99.3 County FM’s general manager.

“What the audience will be seeing is an actual radio play and a live stage performance all at once.

Much like Garrison Keillor’s Prairie Home Companion used to be, these plays not only teach us about our history but provide us with a glimpse of it through the eyes of our seniors. This is a very exciting and unique project featuring some extremely talented senior writers and voice actors.”

Suzanne Pasternak, acting as the producer as well as a writer added the series is is an incredi-

ble outreach program for people across the county.

“We are doing our dress rehearsals in nursing homes, plus involving seniors in the productions who have serious mobility issues. It is truly and amazing performing arts project unlike any I

have ever seen,” Pasternak said.

Admission is by donation. For more information phone Pasternak at 613-847-9842 or e-mail at adioplay@993countyfm.ca.

‘Suspicious’ fire destroys County Rd. 49 barn JASON PARKS

STAFF WRITER

Prince Edward OPP and the Ontario Fire Marshal's office are investigating an early morning blaze that razed a barn in Sophiasburgh Sunday.

The structure, located on County Rd. 49 just north of Bethesda Road was being utilized as dry storage and did not house any animals at the time of the fire.

The barn was a complete loss.

The cause of the blaze is currently unknown but believed to be suspicious.

According to a press release issued by Prince Edward OPP Const. Kim Guthrie, there was

suspicious behaviour observed in the area late Saturday night and early Sunday morning. “Witnesses advise a four door sedan type vehicle beige or taupe in colour was seen in the area several times prior to the blaze breaking out,� Guthrie said.

Prince Edward County Firefighters were quick to respond to the fire which was reported via 911 dispatch.

High winds forced fire crews to be alert when battling the blaze to ensure the fire didn't spread to adjacent fields.

A family member that wished not to be identified explained to the Gazette the barn was part of the 160-acre farm owned by the

Lyons family until this past April upon the death of Marguerite Lyons. .

Beginning in 1940, the Lyons' farmed cash crops as well as a herd of dairy cows and later, had beef cows at the barn.

In later years, the structure was used to store firewood and held hay stores for livestock. “Every member of our large family grew up in that barn,� said the family member. “Losing that barn was like all of us losing a family member.�

Anyone with information on this incident is asked to call the OPP Communications Centre at 1-888-310-1122 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).Â

A new partnership searching for insight into Prince Edward County’s labour market has sought input from an important, but often overlooked, piece of the puzzle: prospective employees.

The Prince Edward Learning Centre (PELC) pulled together a consortium including the Prince Edward County Chamber of Commerce, the County’s community development department, and Loyalist College to secure a provincial grant to address barriers to sustainable employment in the burgeoning agri-food and tourism sector.

The money comes from the Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Development and it is intended to provide creative solutions to local labour market training needs. “It’s a way to at least get folks together and think about what we can do right now and what needs to be done in the longer term,� said PELC executive director Kathy Kennedy of the County Workforce Partnership (CWP). “How do we — in a competitive market — have the best kind of labour development program possible?�

Kennedy said the community development department has already done some great research with regard to business retention and expansion and this work builds on that. Ann MacIntosh has been hired to collect and compile all of the existing information on the local labour market and also for the region and for Ontario.

With the help of facilitator Mike Farrell, of Convergence, the CWP has begun interviewing large employers in the sector to find out about their best practices in training and retaining staff, and the issues facing them.

An exciting piece, says Chamber executive director Emily Cowan, is adding input from job seekers. “We are taking to employees, which I think hasn’t been done recently. The Learning Centre, Career Edge, and Ontario Works are also taking to clients and finding out their experiences in looking for a job, being hired for a job, and being trained for a job. We wanted all the views and perspectives, both positive and negative.�.

Cowan said she’s not sure how much information her members have heard from that perspective.

On Oct. 25, the CWP will present its findings at a workshop for employers at the Highline Hall in Wellington from 8 a.m. until noon.

ipality. “Twenty-five is a good representation for the county compared to the rest of the Quinte area,� she said. “It’s always interesting to see the businesses that are nominated for these awards. Unsurprisingly, there were a few more breweries than in previous years. It’s great to see lots of nominations for young entrepreneur and new business, as well as some familiar, longstanding businesses.�

Among the local nominees: Campbell’s Orchards and Country Market is among 11 vying for retail business of the year.

Three local businesses are among six in the running for top hospitality or tourism business.

They include Jackson Falls Country Inn, The Picton Harbour Inn, and TerraCello Winery.

Among the 18 top new business nominees are Blue Wheelbarrow Farm, Parsons Brewing Company, The County Canteen, The Local Store, and The Vic Cafe.

Workshop Oct. 25 will provide opportunity for employers to share best practices CWP, from page 4

With the input from job seekers and businesses in the sector, Cowan said she hopes those present will be able to help the CWP partners find a tailor-made solution to help serve their needs.

“The hope is to have as many employers from the agri-food and tourism sector as possible as the goal for the day it to create custom-made training initiatives to take to the ministry for funding,” she said. “Our goal is to create solutions to our own unique labour market issues, funded through the ministry and delivered by local partners.”

Kennedy said she believes the workshop will be in demand as she’s heard employers have had a tough summer filling job postings, particularly as issues like the affordability of housing in the county have had an impact.

The ministry has encouraged the CWP to look into supporting people who might not traditionally be thought of as part of the labour market solution, also.

Whatever program it designs, it will be asked to address having supports for people with disabilities and for ways of encouraging people to start a second career — maybe bringing older workers back to the workforce, Kennedy

said, which could make a lot of sense in an aging community.

Increased youth participation is also a desired outcome.

The CWP will continue through the creation of strategies and further funding requests as an ongoing committee of the Chamber, which will ensure it continues to have representation to the County’s community and economic development commission.

Ultimately, its goal will be to expand on the asset that is entrepreneurship. Kennedy said many local entrepreneurs have done well to create jobs and extend the season, which can help translate to stable, full-time employment.

Cowan said the CWP will offer a strong base group to monitor the labour market and make a difference to businesses.

“Everyone’s really passionate about (job creation, training, and retention) and we’re meeting about it all the time. We want to have some employers join in our partnership in an advisory role to make sure it’s always employerled. We’re pretty excited about this. Everyone has talked about their problems. It’s great to really discuss solutions. ”To register for the breakfast and workshop, please visit www.pecchamber.com/cwp or call 613-476-2421.

COMMENTARY

Region must be proactive in the face of potential Sears job losses

FOR decades, Sears Canada was a reliable name when it came to all sorts of retailing across the country. It sold clothing, household goods, tools, and toys. Canadians could rely on their ability to visit a Sears department store in a larger centre or order in by catalogue through a local operation. As Christmas came, its Wish Book was a must-have for many children.

Now, it appears poised to be a cautionary tale for business students about how a company that had strong market position and one that was an innovator in distribution systems and online technology fell so far. Some analysts believe Sears never could find a way to market itself to younger customers who prefered the buying power they received from chains like Walmart, or looked for specialized retailing for their higher-end purchasing. Some, likely, didn’t feel excited about going back to the same, predictable shop they’d grown up with. No doubt, direct-to-customer services like Amazon that didn’t have the same overhead also took their toll. People will question Sears’ decisions to give bonuses to executives as its sales are continuing to drop and they’ll also likely raise an eyebrow about why the store didn’t restructure and rebrand earlier.

Unfortunately, that was the path Sears took and now 12,000 more people across Canada will find themselves out of work, the latest blow in a series of devastating cuts at the company. Many of those jobs were right here in the

The Picton

Quinte region, where Sears not only operates a retail store in Belleville, but also has a warehousing centre. The impact will be felt throughout the local economy and with employers already bracing against higher overhead costs and upcoming minimum wage hikes, it’s hard to see exactly how the local labour market will accommodate the good people who were committed to the retailing chain.

While it appears Sears will not be around for so many people who have given much of their lives to keep that brand front of mind, officials within the region can’t spent much time mourning its demise or pointing fingers about what the retailer might have done better to ensure its employees were looked after and contributing their pay back into the local economy.

The time is now to take aggressive approaches to create jobs and to lure prospective businesses to the area. Retraining programs, incentives for entrepreneurs to create jobs, and business-friendly policies encouraging relocation are must-haves to continue moving forward. At the same time, strategies to promote overall community development — including assets like health care, schooling, and leisure — must not be forgotten.

The Sears news is a blow, to be sure, but there is room for growth to take place. If anything, the loss underscores the importance of being proactive in the face of adversity in order to stand the test of time.

Stories From Our Past 1937

n A Toronto man duck hunting near Northport shot a large bird he believed was a pelican. It had a wing span of at least six feet and its bill was 18 inches long by about six inches wide. While white pelicans typically winter in the southern United States, they often breed in Canada. n A severe frost hit the county Friday night, leaving blackened vines and frostbitten vegetables in its wake. It also spelled disaster for remaining flowers. n Fred Stevens, one of three men who robbed Picton’s Brewer’s Warehouse store and led police o a chase to Brighton pled guilty to break-and-enter, theft, vehicular theft, and carrying concealed weapons. The other suspects appeared headed to trial.

1957

n Representatives of a campaign to build an artificial ice arena in Picton were planning an evening of door-to-door canvassing to pick up donation envelopes mailed to all homes in town. It was hoped that each household would give what they’re able to afford to make the facility a reality. n The Russian satellite Sputnik I travelled over the Quinte region in early afternoon.

It was travelling at 18,000 miles per hour, some 500 miles above the earth. Servicemen at Trenton tracked its movements via radio frequency. n American vice-president Richard Nixon wrote to Picton Mayor H.J. McFarland to express gratitude the gracious welcome he received while vacationing in town.

1977

n PECI started its 25th year without a yearbook editor as the previous year’s deputy editor didn’t want to take on the responsibility. A search committee had 30 students apply for the job. The school was also hoping to find a local publisher to print the book, reducing costs and offering more time for sales, particularly to graduates. n Some 16 residents of H.J. McFarland Memorial Home took the first ride on the Daisy Express, an activity bus purchased using proceeds from the long-term care home’s tuck shop and craft sales. n Police and firefighters responded to a two-vehicle crash on west Main Street that ruptured a gas tank. Firefighters flushed the gas away to avoid an explosion.

1997

n Picton native Dr. Donald F. Smith was named the ninth dean of veterinary medicine at Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y. Smith had been a veterinarian since 1974 and had been a professor since 1977. He also taught in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. n Ontario was rolling out a vision for a “fully integrated” rural health-care network. Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital appeared to be ahead of the curve with its Inter-Services Working Group collaboration with local agencies. n Members of the transition board working toward the amalgamation of Prince Edward County were disappointed a published booklet reporting its actions had little information about the process.

Tai Chi is a low-impact form of exercise, and it is also a weight bearing exercise, which is an important component of managing osteoporosis.

Some of the benefits of Tai Chi are: better balance, which lowers the risk for falls, less pain and stiffness, stress relief and increased calmness and sense of well-being. And to top it off, it can help to improve memory. No experience is necessary and all fitness levels are welcome. The cost is $20.

All branches busy for Ontario Public Library Week

Oct. 15-21 is Ontario Public Library Week. Libraries across the province celebrate with special events all designed to inspire and entertain. In Prince Edward County, we are excited to share a busy schedule of events for the week.

The week kicks off on Tuesday, Oct. 17 at the Picton Branch Library. Meet author Sally Barnes as she reads from her new book Unleashed. Centered around the fictional Tackers Bay Dog Park, this title explores what happens when the dog park regulars have to face off against developers who want to get their hands on the valuable real estate the park sits on. Sally will have copies of the title available for sale with 40 per cent of sales supporting the Loyalist Humane Society.

On Wednesday, Oct. 18 Bev Marr, Peggy Ritchie and Marg Trompour will present a display on the history of canning in Prince Edward County at the Consecon library branch. Drop by during branch hours (3-6 p.m..) to view the display and celebrate public library week with coffee and cookies.

At the Wellington library

INSIDE THE LIBRARY Liz Zylstra

branch, we have two public library week events.

When freelance writer and novelist Anne Stephenson moved to the County with her husband Richard Brzozowski, she had no plans to reboot her career as an “indie author” but five books and several short stories later, she’s glad she did. Join her for a discussion of her books and writing life on Thursday, Oct. 19 at 1 p.m..

On Saturday, Oct. 21, the Friends of the Wellington Library present “Music at the Library”between 1-2 p.m.. Musicians Don Hinde, Micheline Cox, Mario

Panacci and friends will fill the library with music. Drop by to browse the collection, sign up for your free library card and enjoy music.

The week ends with a celebration of the history of the Milford Branch Library. The Friends of the Milford Branch Library have arranged for Nancy Butler to give a talk about the history of the library in Milford with a focus on Ann Farwell. The Milford branch was started through the efforts of Jeanne Minhinnick and Ann Farwell in 1951. The two women began by arranging 2,000 donated books on the town hall stage and opened the door to library service in Milford.

Throughout the week, at the Picton branch, art will be on display as part of the Liam Garrett Teen Arts Show.

Ontario Public Library Week is a great time to drop by your neighbourhood branch of the library. If you live, work, or play in Prince Edward County you can register for a free library card and access an array of library services at the any branch of the library.

Department of National Defence contractor uses magnetic gradiometer JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a...what the heck is that thing?

The above was a common refrain around Wellers Bay this week as a helicopter equipped with a magnetic gradiometer has been conducting grid searches in the area around Bald Head Beach.

It's believed Eagle Geophysics, a firm based in Sorel, Quebec, has been commissioned by the Department of National Defence (DND) to conduct a high-resolution, heli-magnetic survey for unexploded ordinances (UXO) at the former bombing range.

The gradiometer or magnetron is an aluminum transduction apparatus suspended via steel cable about 10 metres underneath the helicopter and is calibrated by hovering large steel rods that have been placed in a farmer's field of off County Road 39.

The helicopter and device have been stationed at Billy Bowman's camp near Consecon when the company hasn't been surveying the area, sweeping the waters around Edwards Drive and the beach, a strip of land that separates Wellers Bay from Lake Ontario.

Bald Head is restricted by

CONDUCTING A SURVEY Eagle Geophysics of Sorel, Quebec has been conducting low level,magnetic airborne geophysical survey over Weller’s Bay and Bald Head Beach this week. (Friends of Wellers Bay/Facebook)

both the Canadian Wildlife Services and the DND who both have reasons for keeping visitors away from the beach head.

The DND labled Bald Head Beach a legacy UXO site and that unexploded rockets and bombs used by Canadian Forces between 1939 and 1953 for military training are a human hazard while CWS prohibits access due to concerns for protected animals such as the Piping Plover, a rare and endangered bird that was spotted on the beach in 2005.

Through the efforts of former MP Daryl Kramp and the Friends of Wellers Bay group about a decade ago, public access that was long fought for seemed to on the cusp of being

granted but those plans fell apart at the last second after the CWS and DND did an about face and declared the area permanently closed to any visitors.

It's unclear what the DND will do with the survey.

Bert Simon, Director of Eagle Geophysics, couldn't confirm the client was the DND but did confirm to the Gazette his company was contracted to conduct a Magnetic airborne geophysical survey over the old artillery range and create a map with some potential targets for the client to investigate.

Simon said his crew expected to be finished its work by the end of the weekend depending on weather.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Milford resident offers thanks to Wynne

Thanksgiving has just passed and I’m sure Premier Kathleen Wynne has much to be thankful for, as the next election is still months away.

Meanwhile residents of Prince Edward County have her to thank for giving us the White Pines Wind Project, now under construction near Milford.

Thank you for bringing nine 150-metre revolving metal structures, taller than most office buildings in downtown Toronto, into our lives, although I’m not sure what any of us have done to deserve such generosity.

We have Wynne to thank for so many things: n For putting the health and well-being of more than 800 residents at risk; n For promoting industrial wind

power plants over our local wineries, breweries, galleries, restaurants, markets and artisans; n For jeopardizing South Marysburgh’s tourism-dependent businesses; n For ruining our scenic pastoral views and heritage landscapes; n For killing, harming and harassing our local populations of ospreys and herons and up to ten of our province’s at-risk species including Blanding’s turtles, Little Brown Bats and Bobolinks; n For depreciating property values; And for so much more.

I would like to invite the premier to a rally to be held in Picton on Sunday. The rally includes a march down Main Street followed by a town hall meeting at the Re-

gent Theatre at 2 p.m., where she will learn how the White Pines Wind Project will impact the lives and livelihoods of County residents, particularly those like myself who live in the Project area.

Afterwards I would like to talk to Wynne about how I (and likely everyone else in Milford and many kilometres beyond) was awakened this morning by the noise of piledriving/drilling into solid limestone bedrock near Turbine 3, which could be heard even through our closed windows, and knowing that I could have this to look forward to for many months ahead.

Premier Wynne, we have so much to thank you for.

Paula Peel Milford

KGB agent spent years confined in prison

My thanks are extended to The Gazette journalist, Adam Bramburger for the article which was published on Thursday, September 28, 2017 in regards to my recently published book, Shattered Illusions: KGB Cold War Espionage in Canada.

He covered a lot of material with respect to this historic Canadian Cold War espionage operation. However, I would like to correct the notion in the article which informed readers that the Soviet spy, Yevgeni

Vladimirovich Brik, had escaped from the KGB after he was taken into custody by them in 1955 in Moscow. In fact, readers of the book will discover that Brik spent many years in solitary confinement in such notorious prisons as Lubyanka (inside KGB Headquarters) and Vladimir Central Prison in the city of Vladimir.

He was also a prisoner for a number of years in one of Stalin’s horrible Gulag labour camps. The camp he was in was

called Temnikovskiy Department of Camps which was located many hours outside of Moscow in the country.

My sincere thanks are also extended to the fine people at the Rotary Club of Picton who hosted me. They are good citizens and caring Canadians who do a great deal of good in their communities, across the country and internationally.

Generously sponsored by Kevin & Penny Gale, ReMax Quinte Ltd., Brokerage.

Each year the P.E.C.M.H. Auxiliary provides scholarships to mature students who are residents of Prince Edward County and are returning to school to pursue a career in the health sciences.

Each scholarship is valued at $2000.

We are delighted to announce this year’s winner, and wish him well in his future endeavours: • Hugh Cameron

The Auxiliiary has awarded 7 new scholarships this year, to both high school graduates and mature students, and is proud to support local students to achieve their dreams.

Hospice Prince Edward needs $5,000 more to pay for its new roof and it has pulled in some prime talent to help the cause.

Amherst Island comedian Deborah Kimmett, who trained at Toronto’s Second City, will bring her poignant, funny one-person show “The Year of the Suddenly” to the Regent Theatre for just one night, Oct. 19.

The story discusses the activities in Kimmett’s life after she was blindsided by her brother Kevin’s terminal cancer diagnosis. The show may change the way audience members expect a dying person should act.

“This is a love story between my brother and I,” Kimmett said, noting for most of their lives the siblings thought they had little common ground.

“As it is with many families, we got stuck in our childhood roles for decades. But when he got sick, we both let down our guard and I discovered the brother I never knew I had.”

Tickets for the show and subsequent silent auction are $30, available through the Regent Theatre box office.

Meeting: 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Regent Theatre Learn how the 9-turbine White Pines Wind Project WILL affect you and Prince Edward County, and what you can do to help. Local politicians, County residents, business people and experts will provide impact statements, updates, and answer your questions about: loss of landowner and municipal rights because of the Green Energy Act; human health effects; destruction of heritage, tourism and endangered species; and other concerns.

Speakers: Mayor Robert Quaiff; MPP Todd Smith; Winemaker Norman Hardie; Wind Concerns Ontario President, Jane Wilson; Dr. Robert McMurtry OC; and other knowledgeable individuals. Moderated by Councillor Steve Ferguson Contact logistics coordinator Les Stanfield at 613.476.5363 or Contact Councillor Steve Ferguson at 613.827.7174 or sferguson@pecounty.on.ca

Your participation really matters!

He said his intention in hosting a rally at the Regent Theatre is similar in that it gives people information about the project. The councillor added, however, there continues to be more urgency the closer the project comes to reality.

“We’re in a position where they have started work and we have to make people aware of what the implications are and what they can do to stop it,” he said. “There’s an enthusiastic group putting this together. It’s going to be interesting to see what attendance is like on Sunday, particularly at the march.

From what I can see and read, people are pretty engaged.”

Even at the second open house meeting Ferguson held at the Milford Town Hall, Sept. 18, he said some people in the community were surprised to hear the project is moving forward.

He said awareness is important.

“People raised their hands and seemed very naive about the fact there are shovels in the ground and they were starting this,” he said. “This is my ward and it’s my responsibility to keep people informed of what is going on and how it may impact them. If not me, then who?”

Though he indicated there are people in his ward and in the county who do support industrial wind and he also can see the lure of lease agreements between $25,000 to $50,000 for land that otherwise wouldn’t be productive, Ferguson said no residents have asked him why he’s been a vocal opponent of turbine construction.

He said he has a major issue with the Green Energy Act itself.

“We have a policy, the Green Energy Act, that has stripped everybody of their rights. I can’t think of anybody that is not progreen energy, but green energy has to be applied in appropriate locations. It shouldn’t be dictated through legislation that removes municipal rights or individual rights. The majority here are not in favour of this project.”

While some hinted at civil disobedience in recent weeks, Ferguson said he believes it will be more meaningful for opponents to peacefully demonstrate via the march, which gathers at Cold Storage Road at 12:30 p.m. and heads down Main Street at 1 p.m. The rally will run from 2-

SCARECROWS, from page 1

He said it was great to experience the beaches now that the water has receded, along with some of the fall scenery the county has to offer. The Scarecrow Festival was just a cherry on top of a good weekend, he said. “This is just a little treat we found,� he laughed. “It's Thanksgiving with family and friends, spending time with the kids and having a good time.�

While McCormick's visit may have been chance, Small Pond Arts owner Krista Dalby said the twoday Scarecrow Festival is something of a ritual for many people. “It's a much beloved family tradition,� she said. “It is interesting that we have some folks here from the city they like, 'this is amazing, we get to make a scarecrow' because this is something that would absolutely not be a part of their regular urban life. “It's a nice country activity for some people who maybe don't get an opportunity to do such a thing.�

The event attracted a significant number of visitors. “It's been very busy both days,� Dalby said on Sunday afternoon. “We've made about 80

HAY THERE Two-year-old Austin Baily has some fun at the Small Pond Arts Scarecrow Festival on Sunday. (Chad Ibbotson/Gazette staff)

scarecrows so far, so I imagine it will probably be about 100 by the end of the weekend, which is about all we have.�

She said there was an average of four people for each scarecrow, estimating a total attendance through the weekend of close to 400. There was a mix of both locals and visitors, Dalby said.

The event has become so popular that Dalby now collects clothing throughout the year to be used by scarecrow makers. She said both City Revival and the County T-Shirt Company have

regularly donated items to the festival, joking the event produces a lot of well-dressed scarecrows.

She said it's great to see families enjoy the time together. “It's very heartwarming,� she said. “The kids have a blast and it really brings out creativity in people who wouldn't necessarily identify as creative.�

The festival was held in support of another community festival. Funds raised through the event will go toward the Firelight Lantern Festival, which takes place Nov. 18.

Pirates push Napanee, then unload on Campbellford Power play helps build early lead, but Raiders bounce back in third CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

It was an up-and-down week for the Picton Pirates, falling to Napanee last Thursday before winning big over Campbellford on Saturday.

The Pirates led the Raiders 4-2 early in the second period on Thursday but stumbled in the third, losing 6-4. The team followed up with another big 8-0 victory over the struggling Rebels.

Picton general manager Chris Masterson said it was a disappointing result Thursday.

“That's a couple of third-period collapses against Napanee,” said Masterson.

The Pirates got off to a good start against the Raiders. Early in the opening frame, Elliott Belzile was assessed a slashing penalty and the Picton power play went to work.

Tye Eaton collected the puck below the Napanee goal line and fed it out front to Jordon Cannons for a tap-in goal 3:31 into the game.

The Pirates held the lead for half the period, trading chances with Raiders, but the run-andgun play got them into trouble.

Ryan Casselman carried the puck into the Picton zone and snapped a wrist shot over the glove of goaltender Wesley Werner, tying the game on the rush chance.

The pace didn't slow as the Pirates went back to work. Just 1:27 later, Brayden Bertrand fed a backhand pass through the Napanee crease to Chase Burden, who easily found the twine.

But just 13 seconds later, the Raiders pulled even again with Tyler Ignazzitto scoring on another rush chance.

It appeared the teams would head into the second period tied 2–2, but in the final minute Picton generated another two-onone with Noah Brant feeding Cannons for the goal.

The Pirates picked up where

they left off in the second. Just 34 seconds into the period, Devin Morrison scored to make it 4-2 with Nick Kyte and Brant tallying assists on the play.

At 10:04 of the period Riley Manion was sent to the box for interference.

Just 24 seconds later Kelsey Katchuik joined Manion in the sin bin on a roughing call. It took just nine seconds for the Raiders to capitalize on the two-man advantage with Casselman scoring the power-play goal to make a 4-3 game.

The Pirates headed into the third with the lead, but the Raiders managed to take control.

At the 3:40 mark of the third Jake Campbell scored to even things up. Less than two minutes later Justynn Steven beat Werner to give the Raiders their first lead of the game. Casselman would complete the hat trick with an empty net goal in the final minute of regulation to make it 6-4.

Masterson said the Pirates seemed to have a solid first period and played well for a portion of the second before seeming to fade.

“We just went really flat and I'm not sure how to explain it other than conditioning is something we need to work on,” he

said.

The Pirates had a couple of third-period power-play opportunities to get back in the game.

While Masterson said the club has liked its work on the man advantage this season, but they weren't able to capitalize. They ended the game one-for-four with the extra man while Napanee ended at two-for-six.

“The power play is something (coach Tyler Green) has worked on pretty extensively with the boys so far and I think it's improved a lot over last year,” said Masterson. “It's something we're still trying to

WELLINGTON PUMPKINFEST See page 30

fine tune.”

He said Napanee will likely be among the division's leaders all season. He noted the club has some strong offensive talent, including Casselman who played last season for the Cobourg Cougars of the OJHL tallying 73 points in 53 games.

“We were disappointed in our effort in the third period, but that's a good hockey team there,” he said.

It was a much different story on Saturday as the Pirates faced the 0-7-0-0 Rebels. Masterson said club management was happy with the team's effort on Saturday.

“It's always tough to be up and play against a team like that,” he said. “Our boys found a way to do it and compete hard without being unsportsmanlike.”

Gerald Bilker scored the opening goal on the power play just 2:24 into the first. Will Harrison had the assist. Jaydon Wood made it 2–0 at the midway point of the period with Justin Arnold and Tyson Cassidy picking up assists.

Cannons potted a powerplay goal just over a minute later from Bailey Matthews and Harrison. Harrison added a goal at 14:33 from Bilker and, just 15 seconds later, Wood scored shorthanded to make it 5–0. Burden and Keegan Wayte had the assists.

Morrison added a pair of goals — from Cannons and Kyte respectively — in the second period to make it 7–0 heading into the third. Burden would add a power-play marker from Wood and Cannons to round out the scoring.

“I thought our boys responded pretty well and played a solid game against Campbellford,” Masterson said.

The Pirates will take on the Gananoque Islanders tonight at 7:30 before travelling to Port Hope to face the Panthers Saturday evening at 7:30. Picton then takes on the Islanders again on Sunday at 7 p.m in Gananoque.

Picton will again have to switch gears between facing one of the division's struggling teams in the 1-6-0-0 Islanders and one of its top teams in the 71-0-0 Panthers.

Masterson said that seems to be an early pattern as the league appears to be divided into three with Port Hope and Napanee at the top, Amherstview and Picton in the middle, and Gananoque and Campbellford at the bottom.

He said Saturday's contest versus Port Hope will be a big test.

“We're really keyed up and looking for that and, of course, you can't overlook Gananoque on Thursday night either,” he said.

Defensive adjustment helps juniors rebound from slow start ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

If the PECI Junior Basketball Panthers are on the court, don't leave early.

Last Thursday, the Panthers improved their record in the Bay of Quinte Conference to 5-0 in their home debut against the Nicholson Crusaders, but they continued a tend of saving their best for later in the game.

In the first quarter, the visiting Crusaders looked to carry the bulk of momentum. They also put some points up on the scoreboard to lead 9-3. The Panthers woke up in the second to reduce the Nicholson lead to a single point, then continued that steady play to the final buzzer and a 43-36 triumph.

"They're extremely slow starters," coach Rob Garden said.

"I've coached teams like this in the past and they are a nervous group by nature. We just have to keep working past it."

He indicated he thought maybe the Panthers were a little tentative coming out in front of a big crowd on their own court and added there's a number of teachable moments in junior basketball. Starting quicker is one of them.

The coach said the turnaround came with a tactical

adjustment as the Panthers moved away from playing a full-court zone press to a manto-man system.

“The zone press is still a work in progress and I think the girls were finding it hard to sort it out and also focus on offensive execution at the same time,” he said. “Once they were comfortable on defence, they started to execute offensively.”

Madalynn Snider led the way in a balanced scoring attack with 11 points. Sydney Davies was also in double digits at 10. Myla de Boef scored nine and Hannah Goad eight. Nicholson's Brigid Bechervaise led all scorers with 14.

The Panthers host the Centennial Chargers this afternoon.

The senior teams will play the early game at 4 p.m. followed by the juniors at 5:30.

In memory of

Tyler Elliott

June 1, 1978 - October 12, 2016 It's been a year since we lost Tyler. We think about him and talk about him everyday.

He accomplished much in his short life. He knew computers well and was on the team which programmed the CANARM for the International Space Station.

He took great pride in his work with NASA. Even as a child he had a profound interest in the universe; this was a dream job for him. Later he worked for QNX; working on computers in high end cars enabling the vehicles to drive themselves. Another dream job. He met everyday with enthusiasum.

Tyler had a real zest for life. He travelled extensively in Australia and thought everyone should visit there. His life was cut short; but we have many special memories.

Love you always, Dad, Mom, Tanya, Jim, Dylan and Delany.

Always loved, never forgotten; Sorely missed by all.

Alan, Lisa and families

We thought of you in love today, but that is nothing new.

We thought about you yesterday, and days before that, too.

We think of you in silence, we often speak your name.

Now all we have is memories, and your picture in a frame.

Your memory is out keepsake, with which we’ll never part.

God has you in His keeping, we have you in our hearts.

Your loving family xxoo LAMMES- Son, Jack Lammes November 3, 1983 and Wife Margaret Lammes October 15, 2004.

Remembered by loving father and husband John.

MEMORIAM

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.

will not encroach on any downtown stores.”

Councillor David Harrison also supported moving the project forward. He said the retail business is extremely tough and the developer needs flexibility.

“You're putting a noose around somebody's neck if you don't give them that flexibility,” he said. “No one has yet given me any proof of any downside to this.”

The development is proposed

to consist of four commercial buildings with a total gross floor area of 6,188 square metres (66,603 square feet) including a new Sobeys grocery store with a gross total floor area of 4,553 square metres (about 49,000 square feet).

Much of the discussion Tuesday centred around the requirement of a Retail Impact Assessment. The requirement for the study was triggered by the inclusion of the food store, which exceeds the 2,000-square-metre limit outlined in the County's planning guidelines. Developer Picton Properties Ltd. obtained consultants urbanMetrics Inc. to complete the market study, which subsequently confirmed market support for the food store, health and personal care, and general merchandise (dollar store) uses.

The municipality tapped Mimi Ward of Ward Land Economics to complete a peer review of the proponent's Retail Impact Assessment. That peer review was completed on July 27.

The developer presented a concept site plan to council in July.

A revised application with more detail was presented at a subsequent meeting on Sept. 20. A staff report presented to council Tuesday says at the Sept. 20 meeting the developer advocated for offi-

cial plan and zoning bylaw amendments that varied from Ward's recommendations. The official plan and zoning bylaw applications were deferred to give staff and the developer a chance to resolve the issues.

On Tuesday, New Urban Retail Inc. president Jamie Chisholm, Chris White of retail marketing consultants urbanMetrics Inc., and RFA planning consultant Ruth Ferguson Aulthouse made the case for the Picton Properties preferred amendments.

Chisholm said one issue was, aside from the food store, the zoning of the property would permit only a drug store and dollar store at the site, at the exclusion of all other retail uses. While County staff advised they would be open to allowing further uses if there was data to support them, Chisholm argued it was still unclear how broad the Retail Impact Assessment was expected to be.

“Let's talk about it, let's be specific,” he said. “But to say, 'we're not going to tell you what we'll permit and not permit unless you do a market study,' it's just too cumbersome to develop a property that way.”

He said part of the problem is it's still unclear who the tenants in the new development might be.

“We were asked through the whole process,” he said. “We think we might be able to do a drug store, we think we might be able to do a dollar store, but we want to do other retail uses because we don't know.”

The report says there are two reasons staff recommended the Retail Impact Assessment, the second being the developer’s proposal to re-designate a 1.4-hectare portion of the 2.7-hectare parcel to the town gateway designation from its current town residential designation. The report suggests the resulting impacts on downtown should be demonstrated.

Among those who voted in opposition to the amendments were councillor Roberts and Mayor Quaiff.

Roberts said staff were trying to guide council to make decisions based on facts and not opinions.

“It seems to make infinite sense to me that when we get to official plan amendments and zoning bylaw amendments that they be consistent with complete and proper analysis,” he said.

Quaiff said he was “extremely disappointed” that the decision came down to the 11th hour. He said he's pro-development and wants the development to move forward, but has been left thinking why the municipality bothered to hire the peer review firm. He said all the municipality was seeking was additional market study on the retail clothing sector and a overview analysis of the impact on a range of other retail sectors.

“In my opinion, it seems utterly ridiculous,” he said. “All we asked for was those two columns, but the developer in this case seems to say, 'no, we're not doing it.'”

He said it appeared the developer was trying to write their own bylaw as opposed to letting staff craft a bylaw that fits Prince Edward County. He said without the study, it's uncertain what the impact on downtown Picton might be.

Dukes stay on top with win, overtime points Wellington beats Stouffville, falls to Kingston, Markham JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER

There was plenty to be thankful for around the Wellington Dukes hockey club this weekend both on and off the ice.

An exciting brand and method of hockey featuring a well-melded collection of highflying prospects and tested Junior A veterans.

A new aura surrounding the club thanks to new management and overseers.

A renewed sense of place, enthusiasm and importance amongst Prince Edward Hockey fans.

And, finally, a home at the top of the Ontario Junior Hockey League's North-East Conference.

At one time, a permanent address for the franchise but in the better part of the last decade, the penthouse has been a seldom seen clime for this hockey club.

Wellington (8-1-5) produced four of a possible six points this weekend to maintain a lead over the other clubs in the East Division and while the locals have played as many as two or three or even five

WOODWORKING CLASS Wellington’s Eric Uba tries to evade the chopping stick bandied by Stouffville defender Ashton Reesor during the Dukes’ 5-3 win over the Spirit Friday evening . (Jason Parks/Gazette staff)

more games than their rivals, the clubs .750 winning percentage is tops in the conference and is only bested by the Toronto Patriots (.833), Georgetown (.792) and Oakville (.792) in the entire OJHL. Not a bad start by any stretch but credit Dukes associate coach and general manager Ryan Woodward for not wanting to soak in the atmosphere of top spot in the conference and wait for the field to catch up.

“The results are there and the effort the players are putting on

the ice, they are being rewarded for that,” Woodward said of the club's mark after 14 games. “But it's important to keep the finger on the pulse and make sure we are doing the right things day-today. It's a long season and you can't look at the standings and get complacent then you are asking for trouble.”

Wellington sandwiched a pair of regulation ties in Kingston and at home to Markham around a chippy, penalty-filled win over the visiting Stouffville Spirit Friday.

Sunday's 3-2 loss in double overtime was reminiscent of a few Wellington setbacks this season where the club likely deserved a better fate through 60 and ended up losing when the game became a three-on-three track meet.

Despite playing their third game in four days, Woodward looked at the positive side of the contest in that the club was able to control large parts of the game and outshot the Royals 43-33 through 66 minutes.

“We were happy with the way guys competed our depth allowed us to play with some pretty good pace over the 60 minutes. We had some pretty good chances to secure the extra point but we need to be better on both sides of the puck,” Woodward said.

“We aren't happy with giving up so many Grade A chances in our own end and we need to be better in that area.”

Down 1-0 after one, Wellington fought back with a pair of goals in the second to take a 2-1 lead into the second intermission.

Mitchell Mendonca and Daniel Panetta both beat Markham starter Ryan Coughlin in the last part of the middle stanza.

Mendonca had three goals and two assists this weekend and his alignment with newcomer Ben Evans and speedster Andrew Rinaldi seems to have injected an entire new dimension of offence into the Wellington lineup.

On Oct. 21, a daring audience in Bloomfield is invited to come face-to-face with one of the gruesome femmes who roamed the streets of the grand old city under the banner Forty Elephants.

Enforcer Maggie Hale promises to tell something she’s never told before — the truth — as she invites her audience to hear her grisly tales in a blow-by-blow format reminiscent of a bar room confessional.

Hale is the creation of playwright and performer Margo MacDonald who heard someone talking about the gang on social media. She decided she’d do some digging and that eventually led to an award-winning solo show that has delighted crowds on both sides of the Atlantic.

“The character came later once I started doing more research into it,” MacDonald said. “One of the things I like to write about are lost pieces of history, especially lost women’s stories that get tucked aside and don’t get included in history books. This is one of those stories.”

MacDonald said she was fascinated with her research and she remembered thinking she’d like to be a part of the gang, which was a group of violent thugs like most any other notorious gang imaginable.

She said Maggie became a composite character with elements of a number of women she

researched who took part in the gang, which specialized in shoplifting and escaping police.

As she shaped the character, MacDonald thought she could do it really effectively on stage alone.

“I went back and forth, but in the end I decided if I could tell the story from this one person’s point of view and offer their version of these events, the audience would have to decide for themselves what’s true and what’s not — just like it was for me doing the research.”

MacDonald confides that the first few times on stage she was just as scared as her audiences might be in the presence of a thug because she’d never had to command a stage herself for over an hour. Naturally, the more she’s performed, the more natural Maggie has become.

“I really relied on just the power of really compelling storytelling,” she said. “I want you to feel like you’re sitting in the pub after a three-night bender with this fascinating and dangerous woman. It’s 10 years after the gang has failed and she’s lonesome… it’s kind of an old style of how you’d here stories. You sit in a pub and someone would tell you.”

According to MacDonald, her character offers a “wicked sense of humour” and has a darkness to her — some of which is revealed, the rest is part of the mystery.

The show, The Elephant Girls, runs for four nights in four towns through a collaboration with

Ontario Street Theatre. In Bloomfield, it will be staged at the Baxter Arts Centre at 7 p.m.Tickets are available for $25 online at quinte.snapd.com/events/view/ 1076120 or in person at Green Gables.

MacDonald said typically audiences have found the subject of the show fascinating and they’ve often had questions to ask about the gang and her character.

She indicated she’s happy to engage them.

As a word of warning, MacDonald said the show does feature mature subject matter including strong language, violence, and sexual content. Usually, she recommends an audience of 14plus.

“It’s a story about a gang. If you’ve watched The Sopranos or anything like that, you’ll know what to expect,” she said.

Surplus of forwards on roster has Woodward looking to deal Foodgrains project battled hunger EMLAW, from page 2

DUKES, from page 28

“Mitchell is certainly a high skilled player and putting hime with a veteran like Ben Evans has opened up a new wrinkle to our offence,” Woodward added.

Markham would tie it in third and won it 63 seconds into the second overtime period.

It was a strange ending for the Royals as Coughlin was booted from the game at the end of regulation for undoing his chin strap before leaving the playing surface for a second time in the contest.

The netminder earned a travesty-of-the-game gross misconduct for at the end of the contest for coming back onto the ice to join his teammates.

On Friday, coach Jeff Perrin and his Stouffville Spirit were ready to play from the drop of the puck and a chippy, emotion-filled game played out as there were 23 minor penalties and one major doled out by OJHL officials Duane Parliament and Blair LeFave.

Woodward called the game ,which Wellington won by scoring a clutch power-play goal inside the final 10 minutes as “hard fought.”

“It was called very closely and it was a great test for our players,” Woodward said. “They were challenged and responded well.”

Tied at 3-3, Rinaldi rang the bell with 8:35 left in regulation thanks to Evans and Mendonca while Wellington was enjoying a power play.

Evans would add his fourth point in just his second game in the late stages as he blasted home his first OJHL goal into a vacated Stouffville cage with 35 seconds left.

Mendonca (two) and Colin Doyle also scored for Wellington.

A night earlier in Kingston, the club managed a 3-3 draw with the host Vees.

Given Kingston's struggles to start the season (three wins in their first ten games), the two point tie was likely a little more harder to stomach for the hosts than the visitors.

“I think we are happy with the point. It's a solid effort on the road and while there's always areas of our game on both sides of the puck we would like to clean up, overall, to go on the road and get that point was a positive,” Woodward said.

After a scoreless first, the offensive floodgates opened in

the second stanza with five goals scored including four in the span of just under three minutes.

Wellington would gain leads of 1-0 and 2-1 thanks to markers

by Mendonca and Teddy McGeen but the Vees battled back with goals of their own to tie it a 2-2.

Kingston captain Rob Clerc would put his team ahead for the first time in the contest at 12:57 and the period ended 3-2 in favour of the Vees.

Wellington would show resolve in the third, outshooting the hosts 16-4.

Mitchell Martan scored a power-play goal at 8:13 of the final frame to knot the score for the third time and both netminders were unflappable down the stretch. Wellington's Jonah Capriotti and Kingston's Trevor Withers were spot on to the end of 70 minutes of play.

Wellington utilized all three

goalies on its roster this weekend with Pierce Nelson (Stouffville) and Creed Jones also pressed into action.

“They all played really strong and they've been coming to practice prepared and knowing what's at stake,” Woodward said. “We are very happy and comfortable in this situation knowing all three can start in this league.”

Woodward was busy on the phones this weekend as he was expecting to make a number of deals in advance of Friday's game against the Mississauga Chargers at Essroc Arena.

“We are a little top heavy in terms of forwards and if the right defenceman is available, we might make a move,” he added.

After Friday, Wellington visits Aurora on Saturday night and is in Cobourg on Monday.

Farrington said she felt like Emlaw was a like a second father and an example of how to treat others.

“George was, quite simply, the best man I’ve ever known,” Farrington said. “He had the kindest heart, a wonderful sense of humour and was genuinely interested in all people… He will be missed.”

Monica Alyea remembers being in junior farmers when she grew up and remembering George and Sandra being ever present in the organization’s activities as senior members after they were married. Throughout the years, as she returned to the community and later served as councillor, she remembers the Emlaws continued to be a presence at the fair, at South Bay United Church where George was a steward, and at other community events.

“He was the same kind of guy he is now, this wonderful, accepting, very welcoming personality,” Alyea said. “He was very much a part of this community and a real loss in the community. He always could find the fun in stuff. He had a lovely sense of humour and was a very generous person.”

One of Emlaw’s activities that Alyea said she was really touched by was the South Bay Foodgrains project. He was one of the farmers that started the initiative through local United Church. It grew to see 11 acres of fields planted with commodities, tended, and harvested by volunteers.

The annual harvest was then sold through the Canada Foodgrains Bank to help fight hunger around the world. Emlaw remained cochair of the project and its most vocal advocate. With 4:1 matching funding from the federal government, the South Bay project has leveraged more than $250,000.

“That, to me, was just very special,” she said.

Current South Marysburgh councillor Steve Ferguson said Emlaw was actually the one who welcomed him to the community.

“George was the first guy I met. When we bought our property here in 2008, he was the first person that drove over and brought us a welcoming gift. We chatted for an hour-and-a-half.

He can be a little longwinded,” he said.

Ferguson said Emlaw continued to be engaged in community events and often offered comments on developments that would impact the community he knew and loved. When Emlaw spoke, Ferguson said he earned respect and an audience.

“He seas very much an elder statesman and his loss is large.

We’ve lost two elder statesmen in the past couple months with Paul Hagerman and now George. It’s very sad that they are no longer with us.”

The Emlaw family will meet friends for visitation at the Whattam Funeral Home from 6-8 p.m. tomorrow. A memorial service will be held at Picton United Church Saturday at 3 p.m.
