Preservation effort saves landmark Catholic church Built around 1830, Wellington’s St. Frances of Rome receives repairs worth $75,000 ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

Former County mayor Leo Finnegan admitted he had an image of Picton’s brick church in his mind when his parish priest raised the question of whether to save a historic church in Wellington. St. Frances of Rome Catholic Church has sat on present-day Belleville Road since about 1830 — its exact history has been lost — and since, it has remained relatively unchanged. It has no running water or electricity and many original elements of the church, including pews and exterior siding remain. In recent years, however, the church showed its age as weather took its toll on the most recent cedar shake roof that had been installed some time since 1963 and the water that had seeped in was damaging the interior. This year, for the first time since the church reopened in 1984 for masses in July and August, St. Frances of Rome was deemed unsafe for use. Rev. Thomas Thazhappally, the pastor at Picton’s St. Gregory The Great Catholic Church, called a meeting in April to discuss the state of the heritage building his parish operates as a mission to serve Christians living in and visiting the village and surrounding areas in the western part

of the county. The meeting included representatives from the church’s pastoral and financial council as well as representatives sent by Kingston Archbishop Brendan O’Brien. Finnegan, the parish’s finance chair recalled there was much discussion about the site. “We spent some time deliberating what we should do with this church. Some thought we shouldn’t do anything, somebody said maybe we should knock it down,” he recalled. “I said ‘Not on my watch.’” Finnegan recalled he was mayor when the former Methodist and Pentecostal church was torn down in 2010 and he was among those who didn’t want to see another historical property lost to the community. He was moved toward that position after hearing how a Wellington businessman who is not Catholic feels about the property. Last year, after a severe storm damaged the fence at the church, Finnegan reached out to Cline Pierson to find out who might be able to fix a fence in the village. Pierson said to leave it with him, only to later respond that the fence was repaired and the bill paid. “I asked him why he did that. He said ‘This church has been a landmark in the village

of Wellington and I just thought it had to be done.’” Finnegan said the St. Gregory committee agreed the landmark must be maintained and they decided they would renovate. The committee engaged respected engineer Ernie Margetson to look at the site and make a number of recommendations about the work needing to be done to preserve it. He was also asked for estimates on the cost. Margetson suggested the roof repair should be done first to prevent further deterioration. He also suggested

work be done to rehabilitate the timber beam construction, fresh plastering and painting, and finally, work to upgrade the foundation. “This was a really exciting project for me for a number of reasons,” Margetson said, noting it is important to the community, yet often taken for granted by those passing by it. “After I got started and started looking at it, I thought this is a remarkable old church, perhaps one of the oldest churches in Prince Edward County.”

Injured deep sea diver wins his appeal for CPP disability pension benefits Christofferson thankful for his community’s outpouring of support ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

This past Thanksgiving was the best Mark Christofferson has had in many years. Sitting down for dinner with his wife Tina and their son Tyler and his financee Jade, there were some new blessings to count. “During our grace, we got a little choked up. We’re always thankful, but we’re a little extra thankful for how things come this year,” he said. In late July Christofferson called the Gazette and other media outlets to talk about his stalled fight to gain Canada Pension Plan (CPP) disability benefits following a severe accident while deep sea diving

10 years ago this week. WorkSafe BC had tried to rehabilitate him for three years after the accident. He didn’t hold a job long enough to pay into CPP and because of those attempts to find work, it was deemed Christofferson did not have a suitable disability to qualify for the benefits. In 2012, Christofferson appealed the government’s decision to deny him the benefit to the federal Social Security Tribunal. He had a hearing this March, but had not heard anything about his case. On Sept. 25, Christofferson received word from his lawyer the tribunal had accepted his appeal in an 18page judgment. He didn’t receive all the years back pay

he was seeking, but he had qualified for the benefit. “When I found out, I just collapsed,” Christofferson recalled, adding he had to pass the phone off to Jade to complete the conversation. “My son came up and we just hugged and had a cry to be honest,” he said. “It’s a huge relief off my family.” It turns out, it’s been a huge relief for Christofferson as well. After nearly eight years of telephone calls, medical visits, and sending documents, his life is his own now. A recent visit to the doctor indicated his blood pressure has greatly reduced and he said dealing with injuries to his back, neck, and brain hasn’t been as hard. “I do still have my pain and strains. What I’m dealing with, I can’t change — injuries are injuries,” he said. “I sit here a lot calmer today. The days are a lot easier to take.” Repeated worries about being a strain on his family have also lessened with the decision. Christofferson said he knows he has legal bills to pay and some funding to reimburse WorkSafe BC when he first receives his pension in January, but he’s closer to closing a chapter and moving on. Worries about his retirement security appear to be in the past. “When it does help is when I turn 65, that’s when it will really take effect,” he said. At this point, the federal government does still have the

ability to appeal the decision for 90 days — a move Christofferson been advised seldom happens. Even if it does, he said he’s upbeat. “It’s an 18-page decision and he brought up everything — my doctors, my medications. He covered everything. I think it’s a well-written decision,” he said. Christofferson said he’s also buoyed by the public support he’s received since his story first broke in early August. “We got e-mails from all over the place. It was quite a thing, when I first called, we couldn’t get anyone to sit and listen to me,” he said. “Our intent was to get people talking at least, questioning things. That happened.” Well wishes came from many areas, including as far away as Holland. Some people even offered their resources to help Christofferson launch further appeals if necessary. He said a senior Liberal also took interest and offered to do what he could to bring the file to the attention of the right people. “When you stay honest

and truthful and you have the facts to present, it will pay off and come to an end,” he said. He indicated he was pleasantly surprised at the amount of people in the county who read his story and took an interest in it. “What comes in the news today is typically gone two to three days later. It’s different in the county,” he said. “I’ve been picked out (in public) several times. People in the county read about and are knowledgeable about the news here.” Christofferson said he felt going public with his story “absolutely” helped bring a quicker resolution — it didn’t necessarily influence the decision of the tribunal, though it did speed it up — but said he still felt it unfortunate people in his shoes have to turn to the media to get results. “Should people ever have to go that route? Absolutely not,” he said. Because he did have his story out there, however, people listened and some who saw him protesting at MP Daryl Kramp’s office even

changed their opinion once they read his story. Some of the people who have approached Christofferson also have their own stories of difficulties dealing with government bodies. He said he’s found its amazing how he will now take them at face value and listen after experiencing his own fight. Perhaps that’s part of the reason, he thinks, that he has had to fight for so many years, so that he can encourage others to fight for themselves. “There’s over 7,000 cases backlogged. There have to be others out there,” he said. “ I hope because I had to fight so hard that they won’t have to.” Christofferson said he hopes people will think about his story when they go to the polls next Monday — the 10th anniversary of his accident — and that they’ll elect someone prepared to make beneficial changes to CPP and to the Social Services Tribunal. “Think about what you’re voting for,” he said. “Anybody can be injured on the job. You start the day loving your job, you’re on top of the world and everything changes in a matter of minutes. It could be you in need, just like it was me.” Meanwhile, Christofferson is looking forward to a return to living his own life and making up for lost time with his family and friends. “Our outlook is good,” he said. “Me and my wife haven’t taken a vacation since my injury happened. We felt we couldn’t. Next July, we’re going to go. It’s our 25th wedding anniversary.” Christofferson said he doesn’t know yet where that road will take him, but after 10 years there’s a new feeling of freedom and possibility with a his major obstacle firmly behind him.

Visitors from as far away as Alberta (who were spending time with family in the area) were among those enjoying the 30th annual Fall Heritage Day vintage agriculture celebration at the farm of Larry Everall just outside of Picton on Sunday. Sponsored by the Quinte Draft Horse Association, over 450 people took time in their Thanksgiving weekend to reconnect with the agriculture practices of yesteryear on windswept fields but under sunny skies. Everall was impressed with this year's turnout which usually hinges on the weather. “We had a great day weather wise and it's a gotten to be a popular event,” Everall said. “You start talking to people and we found we had people come in from Montreal, Toronto, Bancroft and Brockville.” Whether you grew up knowing the feeling of freshly turned earth under your boots or were interested in learning about how the business of feeding people was done at the turn of the previous century, there were plenty of demonstrations, displays and helpful folk to point you in the

People love to come out and have a fun history lesson in agriculture and there's no replacement for petting a horse or seeing a thresher work,” he added. In total, six teams of draft horses from the Quinte area towed wagons for visitors to take a ride on as well as worked a section of land that was freshly plowed. Not to be out done, local horseman Brian Flake had a set

township,” he said. “It's a constant stream of garbage.” Quigg said the three closest property owners who would be most impacted by the turnaround were opposed to the proposal. “The other people who are not objecting to it are up to a quarter mile away,” he said. The majority of councillors ultimately decided against assuming the lane. Councillor Kevin Gale said the proposal “flies in the face of the policy” the municipality currently has on the books. “My biggest concern is if we move forward and allow Wellers Lane to be the anomaly we're opening ourselves to all private roads being assumed by the municipality at some point,” Gale said.

The municipality won't be assuming Wellers Lane. Council voted on Tuesday evening against a motion to assume the 350-metre gravel road with several councillors indicating a decision to assume Wellers Lane would set a precedent for other unassumed lanes in the county. The topic had come to council at the behest of resident Ray Patterson, who said the lack of winter maintenance on the lane could present safety concerns for its year-round residents. If the municipality were to assume the lane, upgrades would have had to be undertaken to construct a turnaround at the

end of the lane at the cost of the landowners. A staff report presented at a September committee-of-the-whole meeting said the cost to upgrade Wellers Lane to a tar a chip surface and to construct a turnaround would cost in the area of $200,000. However, on Tuesday Wellers Lane resident John Quigg argued the municipality shouldn't assume the lane. He said the closest turnaround is at the end of Hiscock Shores Road and it is in poor condition, something he believes could have happened to Wellers Lane if it were assumed by the municipality. “I've been monitoring that closely since I discovered Mr. Patterson wanted to change that to be assumed by the

“This is very cost prohibitive given that we have a hard enough time maintaining the roads we have.” Wellers Lane was originally part of a subdivision that was never completed. However, the subdivision agreement says the road must be upgraded to the township's standards prior to assumption. While Wellers Lane is in relatively good condition, it doesn't meet the standards of the assumption policy. Councillor Treat Hull was also opposed to assuming the lane. He said the municipality has no historical obligation to assume the lane. “We should be shedding assets not acquiring more assets by way of roads,” he said. Councillor Dianne O'Brien supported the assumption and said council should consider reviewing the policy for assuming roads. “We need to look at that policy and if there are roads that we should be maintaining then that's what we should be doing,” she said. “Maybe we need to change the policy.” Councillor Janice Maynard suggested deferring the issue to give time for the Wellers Lane residents in favour of the assumption to get a proper quote on the cost of upgrading the turnaround. A motion to do so was defeated. “This is not your typical private road or private laneway that we all have so many of in our wards,” she said. While the municipality technically doesn't own the road, Maynard said the municipality owns the land the road is on. “We own the land,” she said. “This is quite different from all the other laneways.”

Architectural walking tour this Sunday

This Sunday, the Quinte branch of the Architectural Conservancy of Ontario will offer a chance to learn more about Picton’s past. A guided walking tour led by historian, building designer, and engineer Ernie Margetson will feature turnof-the-century homes and buildings in the historically affluent neighbourhood from Main Street East to Paul Street to Maple Street.

COMMENTARY Plenty of uncertainty as Canadians head to the polls

EVEN after 11 weeks of official campaigning and several months on the campaign trail, it looks like the federal election is going to go down to the wire this Monday with parties still scrambling to pick up votes and Canadians trying to decide which horse they need to back in a three-horse race. While Justin Trudeau’s Liberals appear to have the lead going into the home stretch, all three parties are within 10 points in most opinion polls and anything could happen if voter turnout is high as expected after a weekend of record numbers at advance polls across the country. It will be interesting to see whether undecided voters see him as the best hope for change or whether the Tory campaigns about him not being ready have worked. It will also be interesting to see if Trudeau can win here in vote-rich Ontario with policy encouraging spending and deficit financing similar to the planks Kathleen Wynne won on provincially last year. It’s a stark contrast to the other two parties who are adamant they would seek to balance the budget. Could those who wish for change land at Tom Mulcair’s NDP because they say their platform will balance the budget through changes to spending and taxing policies? It will be interesting to watch to what extent vote splitting is a factor in this election and whether that will be a concern moving forward if either of those parties is to win a minority situation. While both have said they won’t prop up a minority led by Conservative Stephen Harper, Trudeau hasn’t exactly warmed to the idea of a coalition with the NDP either. One wonders what compromises the parties may be able to make, particularly when they appear to have some differences on issues like the Trans-Pacific Partnership and the Liberals’ support of Bill C-51, which the NDP has vocally opposed throughout. Then, of course, there’s the question of what to make of Harper. Will voters

believe the economy is doing better as the numbers would suggest, or will they not trust the cuts that led to the current surplus situation? Are staunch Tories going to stick with their party despite some questions about a centralization of power at the administrative level? And, will his approach about keeping the country safe from terror threats garner some votes in the end? Finally, will that recently sealed Trans-Pacific Partnership be seen as a boon or a bust for the country? One also wonders if the Conservative party is fortunate enough to gain minority status if it will find a willing partner to keep it in power — and, if that is Jean Morrison Debbie McCann the Bloc Quebecois, there will be questions about the cost of that support. Publisher Business Manager Barring a surprise on Monday, it appears the country will be a divided one yet again. From a good segment of the population, it appears there is an appetite to rein in Harper’s control if not oust him and try new leadership. There also appears, however, to be some apprehension about handing the keys to the country to either of the opposition parties without some controls. It wouldn’t surprise us if Canada elects its 14th minority government — and that’s not a bad thing, provided the politicians are willing to work through their differences to bring about sound policy. One wouldn’t imagine after this lengthy election that anyone would have an appetite to go back to the polls. One would think the parties Karen Gyde Christine DeMille viewed responsible would be held to account also. Classifieds Locally, in the Bay of Quinte, each major party is represented by a passionate, Classifieds Manager well-spoken politician who has been an effective municipal councillor. It should be a good race here and we believe the riding will be well represented —like the national race itself, it should be a good competition. It all comes down to an elector’s personal beliefs about what is important. There’s plenty of intrigue left and with so much up in the air, each vote counts. Be sure to cast yours Monday.

Harper uses the fear of terrorist, the economy, and drugs, to scare you into submission. If you are voting Conservative, here are just some things you are choosing to vote for... n You are voting for a party that has had three members found guilty of election fraud. n You’re voting for the only PM in Canadian history to be found in contempt of parliament. n You’re voting for a party involved in multiple scandals: Julie Couillard scandal, In and Out scandal Canadian Afghan detainee scandal, Robocall scandal, the ETS

scandal, the F35 Fighter scandal, the CFIA scandal, and the Canadian Senate expense scandal. n You’re voting for a party that is keeping the cure for cancer and many other diseases illegal. Harper knows that cannabis oil is curing cancer, diabetes, hypertension, Crohn’s, epileptic seizures, glaucoma and many other disease. I and many other people have cured their cancers with cannabis oil. Harper uses the fear of drugs being made available to kids for a reason against Trudeau’s policy of legalizing and regulating cannabis. Cannabis is not a bad drug, it is a plant and medicine. It is made up of many cannabinoid compound and THC is the only one that gives you

that high feeling. We have an endocannabinoid system in our body and many receptors and we need cannabinoids to be healthy. When Trudeau takes over the sale of cannabis from the biker gangs and organized crime, how is that making it more available to kids? You will have to show your proof of age to buy it, just like at the liquor store. Plus the revenue from this plant will more than cover the infrastructure cost and help fund our social programs. Also with less people sick, it will save billions on big pharma cost of chemo and radiation drugs. n If you vote for Harper, you’re voting for a control freak who fires, attacks, and bullies anyone who disagrees with him. Harper has

destroyed our democracy and want to continue with his fascist dictatorship. n You’re voting for someone who muzzles and bullies scientist into secrecy and closed seven of the 11 worldrenowned Department of Fisheries and Oceans libraries. n You’re voting for someone who is destroying and poisoning our land, air, and water, while raping our land of its resources, instead of investing in renewable options. n You’re voting for a supposed economist who has run deficits until election time and then steals money from the vets, E.I., OAS, health care and other programs to buy votes for the election. n You’re voting for someone who spies on us and

makes an enemy list of anyone who disagrees . Harper wants to silence dissent and make activism a crime with his Bill C-51. n You’re voting for someone who uses divisive issues to pit us against one another, instead of uniting us all towards a goal of sustainability and helping each other. Unfortunately, I can’t write about everything because there has been so much destruction done by the hands of this corrupt government. With all we know about Harper and his party, how could anyone still vote for their lies, deception, and corruption? If you want to save Canada, vote for anyone but the Conservatives.

Canadians must oppose TPP deal at the polls

A dozen Pacific nations closed in on a sweeping free trade pact last week in Atlanta called the Trans Pacific Partnership. The U.S. and Australia have allegedly compromised on eight years from 12 that pharmaceutical companies can hold exclusive rights to medicines which means that longer patent monopolies for transnational pharmaceutical corporations will delay the introduction of more affordable generic equivalents. Likewise, the U.S. and Japan have agreed in principle on trade in autos and auto parts to ease the rules of origin requirements which would mean that Japan could export more vehicles into North America with

fewer parts manufactured in Canada that could cost 25,000 good-paying jobs in this country. Another great concern was that currently 90 per cent of Canadian dairy markets are closed to imports. There is a strong concern that the Harper government will agree to an arrangement that will mean more American milk coming into Canada without getting reciprocal access for dairy exports from Canada to the U.S. We have to oppose the TPP! Along with being concerned about delays to the introduction of less expensive generic drugs, the loss of thousands of jobs in the auto parts sector, the devastation to family-run dairy farms, we also have to be aware that

there is a NAFTA Chapter 11like investor-state dispute settlement provision, which would allow corporations to sue governments for compensation when environmental, health or other regulatory policies interfere with profits and procurement rules that would mean more corporate bidding-rights and restrictions on government spending to meet public interest priorities. Once again, the Harper government is forcing Canada into a major trade negotiation that will only benefit the one per cent. In your heart of hearts, is this truly the government you want to elect on Oct. 19? Lynne Rochon Athol

Mulcair’s stand on niqab courageous, but it could cost his party votes Monday

Next week we will all gather around the television to witness the "gathering storm" , sometimes called a federal election. From Mexico, where I watch the approaching election day, I

have great fears and a sense of impending destruction that voters of this great country Canada will bring after 8 p.m. The niqab issue in Quebec and elsewhere alone

will be the downfall of Thomas Mulcair. This is indeed a very sad comment on Canada and Canadians who the world have placed on us as tolerant, compassionate and caring people.

I take this opportunity to praise Mulcair for his courage in supporting the wearing of this garment even though he knew from the start that his support will cost him dearly.

This is the kind of stand that I support in our political leaders.

Special events planned to mark Ontario Public Library Week Oct. 18-24

Ontario Public Library Week, which runs from Sunday, Oct. 18 to Saturday, Oct. 24, aims to raise awareness of the valuable role libraries play in our communities. In recognition of OPLW, the County of Prince Edward Public Library is holding a number of special events. Though the week officially begins on the 18th, the library is getting a jump on things with the Wellington Friends of the Library’s annual Pumpkinfest book sale at the Wellington library Oct. 17, beginning at 9:30 a.m. There will be great deals on almost new books available at very reasonable prices with all proceeds to the library. On the official start date of OPLW, Sunday, Oct. 18, the community is invited to the launch of Re:Collections, a zine produced by artist Krista Dalby of 60 stories recalling memories of libraries in people’s lives.

INSIDE THE LIBRARY Christine Renaud

The event takes place at Books & Company in Picton at 2 p.m. In conjunction with the launch and the accompanying verbatim play (a form of documentary theatre constructed from the precise words spoken by people

interviewed about a particular topic) will be the DiscARTed Show and Sale. This is the fourth year for the show, which features creations from discarded books and is a fundraiser for the library and the Prince Edward County Authors Festival. The deadline to enter a piece is Friday, Oct. 16. Artworks may be dropped off upstairs at Books and Company anytime between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. on Oct. 16. For more information, e-mail crenaud@peclibrary.org On Tuesday, Oct. 20, we welcome author Ryan Aldred to the Picton branch library when he will present “Road to Publishing”, a sneak peak at the process he undertook writing his soonto-be-released book, Rum Luck. The mystery novel is due out in February. Come hear the author read from his work and learn about his journey from first draft to the

finished product. The next day, Oct. 21, Ryan Aldred returns to teach an afternoon writing workshop called “Promising to Published”. The session will address the various ways in which authors can revise and develop their rough drafts using beta readers, critique partners, editing strategies, and so forth. Participants may bring a piece of writing to share and work on if they wish, though other works will be available for editing purposes. The workshop runs from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. and registration is required with the author by e-mailing: ryan_aldred@hotmail.com On Saturday, Oct. 24, we wrap up the week with Spooky Story Time for both little ones and teens at the Consecon branch of the library. This is part of the Haunting the Hamlet festivities taking place throughout the village. The children’s

story reading will be at 11 a.m., with the scarier story telling for teens at 2 p.m. Also, on Saturday, Oct. 24, a “Welcome to Windows 10” computer workshop is being held at the Wellington branch library at 11 a.m. Carl Joly is teaching the workshop. It is free, but registration is required at 613-3992023 or by e-mail at: bookkeeper@peclibrary.org Ontario Public Library week is a great time to get reacquainted with the library if you have not visited your local branch in a while. In addition to the events listed, the library has regular events and clubs year round and free access to not only physical books in the branches, but also online through the library website and the new hoopla digital download app. For more on your local library and all the services offered, drop by any branch or visit us online at www.peclibrary.org.

Provincial mammogram Councillors reaffirm support for refugee fund day at hospital Oct. 21 better spent on a road or Majority supports something.â&#x20AC;?

As part of breast cancer awareness month, Ontario Breast Screening Programs and Cancer Care Ontario are inviting women aged 50-54 to book mammogram appointments. The organizations have designated Oct. 21 as a provincial Day of the Mammogram and participating breast screening sites across the province will be accepting walk-in appointments and booking regularly scheduled mammograms. Quinte Healthcare Corporationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hospitals in Picton, Trenton, and Belleville are participating with eligible women asked to call 613969-7400 ext. 2494 to book appointments. Kente X-Ray and Ultrasound is also taking bookings and it will welcome walk-ins Oct. 21. For information or bookings there, call 613-962-5483. Women aged 50-54 can receive a grab bag that features a breast-screening key-

chain known as a Thingamaboob, a special offer from Curves, and other items. Ashley Hendry, the manager of the South East Regional Cancer Program said the day will add valued screening awareness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The provincial Day of the Mammogram is an important event. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re giving eligible women between the ages of 50 to 74 the chance to take action, get screened, and increase awareness about breast cancer,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Finding breast cancer early means itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s less likely to spread and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a better chance of treating it successfully.â&#x20AC;? The campaignâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal is to increase screening participation between the 50-54 age group, which represents the largest number of screen-eligible women who have not booked their mammogram appointments. -Staff

token $100 gift to aid relocating Syrians CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

Council reaffirmed the stance of committee of the whole in supporting the Association of Municipalities Ontario (AMO) Syrian refugee crisis fund on Tuesday. Council approved a motion to provide $100 to AMO's Syrian Refugee Crisis Fund and to support the emergency recommendation of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) to co-ordinate the efforts of communities across Canada to amplify the effectiveness of local initiatives. AMO had challenged all of its members to donate at least $100 to aid in the international effort to relocate Syrian refugees to safe communities. While the motion was approved by a majority, there were some councillors who had reservations.

Councillor Gord Fox reiterated his stance from the September committee-of-thewhole meeting, saying councillors should be cognizant that they're dealing with public money. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I don't think there's anyone in the room who doesn't understand the situation or

the gravity of the situation,â&#x20AC;? he said. He said he received some strange looks when he voiced his concerns at the committeeof-the-whole meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We're dealing with public money and so we have to be very careful with these kinds of things in my opinion,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We're not spending our money. If I feel really bad or concerned about the whole thing then I can donate to any charity at any time.â&#x20AC;? Fox said he received an email from a resident criticizing the decision to give the $100 of support to the cause. He said the resident said â&#x20AC;&#x153;that was their money and it wasn't our place to make that decision, that that $100 could be

He said it's unfortunate â&#x20AC;&#x153;but it's one of the realities.â&#x20AC;? Councillor Lenny Epstein disagreed. He said he doesn't believe a lot of people can really grasp the gravity of the situation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The County, I believe, has a responsibility when there are horrors happening where people's homes, towns and cities are completely destroyed by war and atrocities, we must stand together with our fellow human beings,â&#x20AC;? he said. He said the County is a member of AMO and FCM and the municipality has been asked to help. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In times of severe crisis, and if the tables were turned, it's absolutely the moral thing to do,â&#x20AC;? he said. Councillor Bill Roberts supported the motion. He said the $100 contribution is more about supporting the cause considering the 12 million refugees without homes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The actual amount of $100 amounts to 0.00752672 cents per person,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is fly shit in the wind tunnel of time.â&#x20AC;? Councillor Janice Maynard also supported the motion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We're talking about $100 and we've made donations to other charitiesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; whether they're local or whether they're far flungâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;far in excess of this,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's literally a token gesture, but it's nevertheless important.â&#x20AC;?

Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Awards turn 35, nominate a deserving youth

The Ontario Junior Citizen Awards have reached a milestone 35th year. A great way to celebrate would be nominating an outstanding young person by the end of November. The program is administered by the Ontario Community Newspapers Association and supported by the TD Bank Group and the Insurance Bureau of Canada to recognize those young people aged 6-17 who have made a lasting impact in their community. “We know that our young people can make a difference in Prince Edward County and

it’s important we recognize the efforts they are making,” said Gazette editor Adam Bramburger. “By encouraging our young leaders today, we are building a foundation of community service that will impact many over the years.” Nomination packages are now available at the Gazette office (or online at www.ocna.org/juniorcitizen) for youth between the ages of 6-17 this Nov. 30 that nominators feel qualify for one of the following five categories... n A person involved in worthwhile community services. n A special young person

contributing to their community while living with a physical or psychological limitation. n An individual who has performed an act of heroism in the past year. n An individual who has demonstrated excellence in achievement, such as in the arts of athletics. n A good kid who has shown a commitment to make life better for others and to do more than is normally expected of someone their age. The nomination package consists of a question-andanswer section and requires at least two supporting letters

from other people who known the nominee well. Each nominee received by the Gazette will earn a certificate from this newspaper. A panel of judges will look at the nominees submitted and select a group of up to 12 nominees that will receive provincial awards at a special ceremony in Toronto next spring. Normally, the province’s lieutenantgovernor is on hand to celebrate the recipients. Since the program’s inception in 1981, there have been many success stories. A 1999 winner, Justin Hines, earned the Order of

Ontario in 2014 for his charitable work and international music success while battling physical limitations with Larsen Syndrome. Annaleise Carr, a two-time winner in 2012 and 2014 was the youngest person to swim across Lake Ontario. She’s also swam across Lake Erie and raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for Camp Trillium. Her book detailing the Lake Ontario swim has sold thousands of copies. Maya Burhanpurkar won the award at age 11 in 2010. By then, she conducted research on plant-based antibiotics, donated hair for

cancer wigs, and volunteered at a rural hospital in India. Since, she’s raised money for Haitian earthquake relief and received several humanitarian and science-related awards. Two winners have called Prince Edward County home. In 1985, Demorestville’s Eddie Richards was among those recognized. In 1997, current Gazette reporter Jason Parks earned the honour. Planning is underway for a special celebration five years from now with all of the past recipients invited to share updates from their lives. -Staff

HYDRATION HEROES

Planning and developing winterscapes

from the house. A lovely mixture of bird feeders and a sculpture or two in a nook near the house can look spectacular. If you have not been on your property through a winter you may want to wait so that you can observe the general drift patterns. You may have sections that are sparsely covered with snow due to the prevailing winds that is easy year round to reach the bird feeders there. Clearly anything planted or displayed in such an area will stand out. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think much about the contributions that our trees and shrubs add to the beauty of our property in the winter but maybe we should. Ask a Master Gardener will be taking a break from writing this winter. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be back in the spring. Meanwhile, we wish you a winter filled with warmth and love and good times in front of the fire thinking about your garden next year. You can continue to send your gardening questions to askamastergardener@bell.net.

ASK A MASTER GARDENER

Sandra Goranson and Kathy MacPherson

Choosing the right ones for the look you want is not easy and the more time you can take in exploring what is available the happier you are likely to be with the outcome. Trees protect and shelter our birds and there is nothing as beautiful as a cardinal on the white snow. Chickadees are around year long and really love the tiny red berries produced on a burning bush. The burning bush is also a striking shrub in the fall when its leaves turn bright red. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget the protective value of evergreens for sheltering our birds. Larger garden sculptures that are placed where they can be viewed even with some snow depth can also be eye catching. Rail, stone or other interesting fences and gates can also add to a propertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appeal as can small outbuildings. Often trellises and arbors for climbing plants can be placed in a way that enhances both the summer and the winter views from the outside as well as

We want our gardens to look lovely in the spring, summer and fall but what about the winter? Should we just close the door and not enjoy the beauty that a winter landscape can give us with a bit of planning? If we make good landscape choices early on we can enjoy the beauty of our gardens in the winter as much as we do in the summer and the good news is that there is no work to maintaining a winter landscape. Winterscaping like any other type of landscaping is not a fast process because it involves trees and shrubs. It takes a long time to develop a beautiful winter landscape. Planning and development are the key to the process. You should ask yourself every time you plant a tree or a shrub how it will contribute to the look of your garden in the winter. Once winter arrives trees and bushes bare their branches except those beautiful evergreens that hold the snow so beautifully. Balsam trees are beautiful example of a tree that holds snow and also shelters birds which are also part of our winter landscape. Spruce is a popular choice as well. If you have wet area, a Korean Spruce is the most beautiful of the evergreens producing purple cones. I always enjoy the bare branched look of large trees as we can better view the bones of the land surrounding us. Trees with weeping branches or corkscrew branches can add unique touches. The paper bark birch is particularly stunning in a winter landscape. Shagbark Hickory produces an amazing bark that is really beautiful in the winter.

Walking regularly offers good exercise and produces many health benefits

Walking is a natural and effective way to stay active. It improves fitness, health and mental wellbeing. Walking refreshes the mind, reduces fatigue and increases energy. More than half the body’s muscles are designed for walking; it is a natural movement that is virtually injuryfree. Walking provides an enjoyable time for sharing and socializing with friends or family. Regular, brisk walking can reduce elevated blood fats or blood pressure and improve digestion and elimination. Walking strengthens bones and helps prevent or control osteoporosis. Walking relieves stress and tension.

Combined with healthy eating, walking will help maintain a healthy weight and a positive body image. Brisk walking is an aerobic activity. It increases the body’s demand for oxygen and trains the heart, lungs and muscles to work more efficiently. Walking outdoors can be a problem especially if the ground is uneven or there is snow and ice to contend with. You can safely get some exercise at Community Care’s walking program. Our programs are safe, supervised, and inexpensive activity that promotes healthy living. Participants can include seniors, rehabilitation patients, shift workers and others interested

in the physical benefits and social contacts. Individuals are eligible to join the program if they feel they would benefit from the exercise of walking and have discussed their participation in the program with their primary care practitioner. Community Care operates a supervised walking program in three locations: on the rubberized track at Wellington and District Community Centre; in Wellington at C.M.L. Snider Elementary School; and at the Prince Edward Collegiate in Picton. The program operates from October to May each year. Once signed up for the program, participants can walk

up to five days a week in any of the three locations. Call Community Care at 613-476-7493 for more information and to sign up.

He promises a perfect family show that will thrill both young and old and will feature some special Halloween surprises. The 31-year-old has been performing for more than 18 years and has participated in five national tours as well as being featured on media outlets such as CBC, CTV, Global and in the Ottawa Citizen. “You're going to see some thrilling magic, some stuff that is pretty original,” Bourada said. “A lot of the stuff in the show that we do is completely unique— meaning it's been custom made.” In a world where it can be difficult to grab people's attention, Bourada said originality is key. “For years I had some stuff that wasn't common, but was stuff that some others were performing and I have slowly drifted away from that and developed my things and had some things customized to me to leave that lasting impression on people,” he said. He said magic tends to live in peaks an valleys. With movies like The Prestige and The Illusionist and Chris Angel with his Mindfreak television show, there was a significant increase in magic's popularity. However, Bourada said there's nothing like seeing it live. “When it comes to engaging people live versus on television where it's completely different,” he said. “Live is a very true art dating back to Houdini when he per-

formed and it's a lost art because on television so many things can be edited and manufactured to look better than it actually is versus a live show.” Bourada said he believes his show will leave a lasting impression on the audience, however. He said the trick is to get the audience involved

The Picton Gazette Municipality says months of work on new viewer produces system that offers more information and better search functionality

New GIS system to offer county residents better access to customized mapping CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

County residents can now view municipal data and maps on the go. The municipality launched a new public Geographic Information Systems (GIS) viewer on Oct. 9. A release from the munic-

ipality said the new viewer's purpose is to help improve public access to municipal information and customized mapping of Prince Edward County. Prince Edward County information technology manager Brian Bonter said staff has been working on the viewer for several

months. “It's different from the older viewer in that it has better functionality,” said Bonter. “We really like it because it has more information and certainly better search functionality.” The viewer gives residents the ability to access information like civic

addresses, property information, and aerial imagery that is already open to the public. A new search box feature will help users locate the data they're seeking more efficiently, using addresses, tax roll numbers, bylaw zoning numbers, or other keywords. “If you think about it,

much of the assets of a municipality are geographical in nature and so it really is just providing that graphic display so people can see those types of assets and information in a visual format,” said Bonter. The new viewer was developed internally with County staff collaboratively working to help address technological changes that have cropped up since the first GIS went online, the release says. It says the new tool will ensure the County’s GIS services remain compatible with as many browsers and mobile devices as possible. While a GIS viewer has been available on the County's website for the last five years, the new online GIS mapping viewer will benefit those wishing to view the data on smart mobile devices. “From a compatibility standpoint it's quite a bit better in that it's viewable on a number of different operating systems and platforms,” Bonter said. He said it was important for the municipality to keep up as people move steadily toward using mobile devices to view the Internet. “It's recognizing that more and more people access information from mobile devices,” he said. “When you look at the statistics, the general trend in

software development is to make these applications — and GIS being really no different—making them so that there is that flexibility. Gone are the days where you have the majority of people accessing the Internet from the traditional desktop computer.” Bonter said it's important to cater to the broadest range of users as possible. He said there are a variety of ways the GIS can help users, noting that both real estate agents and prospective business owners have found it useful. “It's certainly cut down on quite a bit of calls to the municipality from residents because they can find the information themselves now,” he said. The new public view is already available at maps.pecounty.on.ca but the old public GIS viewer will remain open to the public until Nov. 1 to assist with the transition to the new viewer. The municipality is, however, encouraging residents to get used to the new viewer as soon as possible to make sure they're accessing the most recent information. The municipality is also inviting comment on the new GIS, asking for public feedback on the viewer to be directed toward gis@pecounty.on.ca.

SMALL SCARECROWS Collum Hudson and Lucinda Pritcher

work on crafting a scarecrow at the 5th annual Small Pond Scarecrow Festival on Sunday afternoon. Over 100 scarecrows were made this weekend. (Jason Parks/Gazette staff)

Demand high at Small Pondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Scarecrow Festival JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER

They were packing stuffing in on Thanksgiving weekend at Small Pond Arts, but it had little to do with a turkey dinner. Organizer Krista Dalby happily reports that the annual Scarecrow festival featured the best turnout in the handful of years its been running. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was by far our busiest year in the five years we have been running it,â&#x20AC;? Dalby said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We made 100 scarecrows in two days and were completely sold out by the end on Sunday afternoon.â&#x20AC;? Both young and old combined to stuff repurposed shirts, pants and other articles of clothing with straw to shape the body of a scarecrow. All that was left was to put

on a brave face atop the stationary sentinel using sack cloth and maybe make one charge through the mountain of straw bales just for fun. While potentially functional in warding off predatory fowl, there's a good chance a Small Pond-crafted scarecrow will be making an appearance at a haunted house near you. All proceeds from the event were designated to go towards the upcoming Firelight Lantern Festival, a bi-annual evening parade from Benson Park to the Crystal Palace for young and old. For more information on the event (held on Nov. 14) or upcoming lantern making workshops, visit www.firelightfest.blogspot.ca or contact Dalby at 613-471-1322.

This week, students at PECI are casting their ballots for the federal election as part of the Student Vote initiative. The voting started yesterday in the school cafeteria and it will continue again today during fourth period. Classes will be called to cast their ballots for the people they believe should prosper in Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s election. Upon arrival at the cafeteria, students will receive cards that will direct them to the appropriate poll to find their poll clerk. They will then be handed a ballot to fill out behind a voters screen before depositing them in a ballot box. Teacher Ryan Gabourie, is overseeing this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vote. He said it will help encourage to vote when they are of age. "The student vote actually mimics a legitimate polling station. We want to make it less scary for the students when they go to vote in the real world. This way it will give them experience." Gabourie said the exercise also helps students learn about the policy options being discussed. "Young people are driven to change. I think it's important for them to understand current issues and to feel like they have something to say,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We even sub-

mitted questions from students to the Student Vote web site to the leaders but we haven't got any replies.â&#x20AC;?" None of the five Bay of Quinte candidates were scheduled to visit PECI to speak with students. However, Gabourie said students and staff have been viewing debates as well as following reported news of candidates throughout. According to its web site at www.studentvote.ca, Student Vote has been operating since 2003. During the last federal election some 563,000 ballots were cast from students at 3,750 schools. Following the vote, Student Vote will tabulate the results nationally and by riding and release them to the media.

Even record has Abrams torn about Dukes’ progress Coach pleased given club’s youth, but feels it could have won a few more games JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER

A 7-7-0 record through 14 OJHL regular season is a horse of a different colour for the Wellington Dukes franchise. The club is clearly not yet a juggernaut like it was in the salad days of the last decade but the team hasn't fallen completely off the radar in the tough Eastern Division either. Wellington sandwiched a pair of losses around a road overtime win this past weekend, unable to make headway in the Eastern Division log jam. After OJHL-leading Trenton and their circuit leading 24 points, the Cobourg Cougars, Kingston Voyageurs and Wellington Dukes are all within a point of each other for second place. The question is, 14 games in and no worse for wear, is Wellington Dukes coach and general manager Marty Abrams satisfied with the season so far. “It's a good question and I'm kind of torn at this point,” Abrams told the Gazette Tuesday. “With the inexperience and the local flavour of the team, I'd say I'm comfortable but on the other hand and some of the games we've given up, I'm looking at the fact we should be about 9-5 or even 10-4.” Dropping winnable games in the East Division can cause real struggles when jockeying for prime playoff seedings in January and February. A loss last month against the St. Mike's Buzzers and home-and-home losses earlier in the season to Kingston are three games where the locals might have deserved a better fate. “We split against Kingston, win that St. Mike's game and win Friday night, we are sitting a lot differently today,” Abrams added.

Friday night's 2-0 loss was tough in that an observer couldn't fault Wellington's effort. The Dukes had more than a few meagre scoring chances against Stouffville and Spirit netminder Aaron Taylor but Wellington just couldn't seem to push the puck past the goal line. The winning tally for the Spirit came with 1:32 left in the second when Nathan Hudgin found Jake Varga at the side of the Wellington net and Varga ripped one past starting netminder Anthony Popovich. Wellington couldn't find a hole in Taylor in the third and the Spirit got an empty netter in the late going to ice a 2-0 winning.

I thought we played well enough to win but taylor was outstanding,” Abrams said. “We had a solid crowd and we felt that we could have won that game if we had buried some chances.” On Saturday it was more of the same as Taylor provided shutout netminding through the first two periods and the hosts held a 1-0 lead after 40 minutes, but needed overtime in a 3-2 win. Abrams admitted there were more than a few Dukes with boiling frustrations during that second intermission Saturday night. “We were playing solid but we just couldn't find the back of the net and yeah, the guys were frustrated and

being shutout for five periods,” Abrams said. “I credit the guys' perseverance. They didn't get down, they kept going to the net and finally broke through.” Just over a minute into the third, the Taylor wall was cracked when Luc Brown collected a Dylan Mascarin feed and beat Taylor for his 10th of the season. Wellington would get their first lead of the homeand-home series about 10 minutes later when Dorian Overland shot out off the half wall with the puck and beat Taylor at 11:02. Stouffville would tie it up at 2-2 about two minutes later, setting the stage for overtime. In overtime, it would be

Tyler Burnie finding Mascarin with a nice feed and the Dukes would emerge victorious. On Sunday in their third game in three nights, the locals were not up to the challenge of the visiting Cobourg Cougars and lost 5-1. In what is a semi-recurring theme for Wellington, the Dukes gave up four power-play goals in six times shorthanded and didn't do anything with the four chances afforded them. “Our special teams cost us the hockey game,” a nonplussed Abrams said. “We are taking far too many penalties 200 feet from our net and I bet four of the six power-play chances we gave up came in the neutral or

offensive zone. It's totally unacceptable and special teams are costing us. The penalty kill was horrendous and the power play struggled so special teams had a big impact in that game.” Cobourg's first of the game came near the half way mark of the first period and that would be the only even strength goal the Cougars would score. After the Cougars extended the lead to 2-0, Brodie Maracle would get his third of the year to cut that lead in half. Of course, Cobourg would rebuild that twogoal cushion on the power play near the end of the first. Wellington would come close to getting back into a few times in a scoreless second. “We had our chances but (Stefano Durante) made three critical saves that starters in this league always seem to make,” Abrams said. Cobourg's Brenden Locke potted a pair of power-play goals in the third to salt the game away. A night after coming up huge in Stouffville, Dukes netminder Olivier Lafreniere couldn't overcome the barrage of power-play blasts. Wellington is host to the Aurora Tigers on Friday before making their first visit to Markham in three seasons. Despite a 3-1 win over Cobourg Monday, Tigers owner and general manager Jim Thomson announced the firing of head coach Mark Joslin on Tuesday. No interim replacement has been announced. 'Round the 'Roc: After going down after blocking a shot in the third period of Friday's game, Jacob Panetta will be lost to the club for another two weeks...After putting the annual Governor's Showcase in Buffalo, the OJHL did the teams in eastern Ontario a favour and placed the Northeastern Conference Showcase in Trenton. Wellington will play a pair of games in Quinte West Jan. 15 and 16.

Soaring Jets take advantage of Pirates’ lack of experience in 7-3 decision Masterson focuses on positives in home-ice loss CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

While it was tough to pinpoint exactly what went wrong, Picton Pirates coach Chris Masterson said the club's latest setback showed his team's lack of experience. Despite the 7–3 loss, the Pirates actually played a solid game against the secondplace Amherstview Jets. Amherstview handed Picton an early deficit when Brett Yake fired a shot past Picton goalie Dustin Myskiw just 17 seconds into the opening frame. The Pirates responded well, laying the body on the Jets and working hard down low to create several great chances in the slot. Neither team would get on the board for the remainder of the first while the Jets held a slight 12– 9 advantage in shots. “It was a quick start for them obviously, just a little mental error led to the first goal,” said Masterson. “We fought back really well after that and actually played 57 minutes of really good hockey.” Masterson said even with the losing result there were a lot of positives to take away from the game. “Even in the end we still felt pretty positive about the game because Amherstview is a veteran team and we certainly played right with them if not outplayed them for a good chunk of the game,” he

Masterson encouraged residents to come out and support the club. “It's a hardworking team for sure and I don't want players or fans to give up on us because there's definitely potential there to turn this around as we get more and more experience,” he said. “We're improving every game and I think we're going to get on the winning side of some of these games soon.”

said. He said he believes the team's inexperience was a factor in the loss. “Really, when I look at it, we played 57-58 minutes of good hockey and just inexperience got us there in the third period,” he said. Amherstview doubled their lead 5:12 into the second period, but Picton didn't back down. Mitchell Merry got the Pirates on the board with a power-play marker from Trey Maracle and Devin McCann 9:42 into the period. Less than two minutes later Tristan Nugent took a feed from Gerald Bilker to even the score 2– 2 midway through the second. With four minutes remaining Zach Maciel scored to give the Jets another one-goal

advantage, but the Pirates kept attacking and Maracle was able to even the score just over a minute later. The Pirates doubled up the Jets in the shots department with a 14–7 advantage in the frame. “The guys are working hard, there's certainly no giveup,” said Masterson. “Guys know we're the youngest team in the league and we have to work extremely hard and the guys are willing to do that.” The teams continued to trade chances in the third, but it would be the Jets pulling ahead. Yake tallied his second of the game at the 10:15 mark and 43 seconds later Joey Mayer made it 5–3 for Amherstview. Maciel tallied his second of the game at 11:33 and Cosimo Morin beat Myskiw

Dukes forward Sokay commits to Niagara University

The Wellington Dukes continue to develop hockey players for higher levels of competition. The latest in a long line of players making the jump made his commitment this week to a Division 1 NCAA program in Buffalo, N.Y. Forward Ben Sokay has committed to the Niagara University Purple Eagles of the Atlantic Hockey Association Conference of the NCAA. “Having players move on to higher levels is very impor-

tant to our program. Ben Sokay came to our club last season out of midget and has developed into an elite player in our league. We are very proud of Ben and his commitment to Niagara University,” Dukes coach and general manager Marty Abrams said. The Port Hope, Ontario native is in his second season with the Dukes after graduating from the Peterborough Petes midget AAA program. Last year he played mostly on a checking line and managed

19 points while only missing one regular season game. The club’s 2014-2015 rookie of the year, Sokay was named alternate captain and has eight goals in 14 games this season, matching his entire output from last season. With two more years of junior eligibility left after the 2015-16 season, it is still to be determined when he'll commence his university studies.

at 11:50 to extend the lead to 7–3 In the span of 1:35, the Jets had given themselves a fourgoal cushion. Affiliate goaltender Dryden Bedard replaced Myskiw in goal for the remaining eight minutes of the contest, but the Pirates were unable to respond. Masterson said there was a good feeling on the bench to open the third and the 1:35 flurry came as a shock. He said he didn't feel players were getting down on themselves or trying to do too much, but there was a sag in play. “I could feel a bit of a sag, but I wouldn't say guys got down on themselves,” he said. He it was tough to say exactly what happened, but noted the Gananoque

The family of the late Kathleen Helferty extends sincere gratitude to relatives and friends for their comfort during this sad time. We greatly appreciate those who have helped Mom, especially after Dad passed away 9 years ago, in particular, her neighbours Michael and Pauline Smith and Chris and Maura Hazelton who visited and hosted Mom on many occasions. Along with us, they enabled Mom to remain in her home of 66 years until January of 2015. Also, a special thank you to her sister-in-law, Celia McAlpine who for those 9 years took Mom shopping every Tuesday then joined her for lunch at 32 Main. These visits continued during Mom’s time at the Manor. To the Manor on Loyalist Parkway, we are deeply grateful for the warm welcome Mom received from Tracy, Barb and Echo on that cold January morning and for the continued compassion and care. Helen Kemsley, who was a bridge player friend greeted Mom with “open arms” and made her transition so much easier. A special thank you to Mom’s PSW, Ed Clapp who promised he would never let her fall... and he did not. We appreciate the ladies who drove Mom to her regular bridge games, Roxie, Sonja, Myrna and Eleanor and to Lois, Maggie and Fran for their visits and flowers. Our sincere gratitude to Dr. Koval and Dr. Haig for their years of care. A special note of thanks to Dr. Haig for her compassion and tenderness during those last difficult days. During Mom’s final hour, it was so very comforting for our family to have Fran Langlois with us, as well as Mom’s PSW Erin and MLP staff member Sheri. Also thank you to Heather Campbell. The kindness of Deacon Bill Gervais shown to Mom is appreciated by our family. Our mother very much enjoyed and appreciated the visit from Father Timothy Shea a month before her death. He later delivered the homily at her funeral mass officiated by Father Thomas J. Thazhappally. Thank you to Greg Garrett and the choir for the beautiful music. The family has been overwhelmed by the donations of food, flowers, phone calls and charitable gifts in Mom’s memory. Thank you to Michael Humphrey and the staff at the Whattam Funeral Home. Our mother was a wonderful Mom and we will miss her always. The Helferty Family.

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.

In Memory of

ZOLF, Patricia Beatrice

December 25, 1936 – January 22, 2015 Patsy Zolf (née Legge) was beloved by everyone she met. Except perhaps some of the property developers she dealt with as a Toronto planner, or anyone who favoured profit over the public interest. She leaves behind worlds of people who are shocked by her sudden passing on January 22: her son David, daughter Rachel, relatives from her hometown of Winnipeg, and friends and colleagues with whom she worked tirelessly for more than 50 years to create loving, sustainable communities. Up to the day she died in Merida, Mexico, Patsy was advocating for more affordable housing in Prince Edward County, Ontario, where she had retired to enjoy country life, cultivate her garden, and plan exciting trips. Patsy died as she had lived – with a sense of fullness and possibility. She is predeceased by her mother Vera and father Cyril Legge, sister Norma Scarth, and ex-husband Larry Zolf. A Celebration of Life Service will be held Saturday October 24 2015 - 2 pm at the Isaiah Tubb's Resort. Those who wish to speak about Patsy are invited to share their memories with others who loved her. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Heart & Stroke Foundation or a charity of your choice.

LEE, Helen Winnifred

(nee Broadbridge) Passed away peacefully on October 3, 2015 at age 83. She was at Burnaby General Hospital in B.C. with family by her side. Predeceased by her parents Charles and Ethel Broadbridge. Helen is survived by husband Orland, her son Dean (Melanie) and her grandsons Carson & Cooper. They will miss her dearly, as will her brothers Stan (Doreen), Ron (Susan), her sister Dorothy (Bill) Wright, her many other relatives and friends. Helen’s interests included track and field, hockey, hairdressing, floral arranging, gardening and trying to outsmart the contestants on TV game shows. She will be remembered as a loving mother, devoted wife and caring neighbour. Helen’s final wishes were to have her life celebrated rather than mourned. An announcement for an informal gathering will follow at a later date. With this in mind, instead of sending flowers, please help us work towards celebrating a cure for dementia through making a donation in her honour at http:/www.alzheimer.ca/en

The Picton Gazette

Anglican church offered Catholic parishioners space for mass during work CHURCH, from page 1

Margetson said it was clear the church was a beautiful structure and added the fact it never had insulation might have added to its longevity because it allowed the water leaking in to drain and to dry out. With his suggestions, the church put the project out to tender and received three bids. It ultimately chose Quinte Insulators. The parish went looking for funding to cover the extensive renovations and found support from the John M. and Bernice Parrott Foundation. “Thank God for the Parrott Foundation, we made an application and we got exactly what we asked for in just six weeks,” Finnegan said. Quinte Insulators owner Doug Lester said crews started working in early August with roofers Michael Cervoni and Kevin Lewis of MK Roofing putting on an asphalt roof with a cedar shake appearance. Below, some beams were jacked back into place and in some places they were reconnected with steel plates to strengthen the construction. Painting and plastering has been ongoing. Lester said the foundation still needs to be strengthened and there will be some work to modernize the entrance. The entire projects is expected to be complete by midNovember. He indicated that though he has done rehabilitation work at many churches in Ontario, he can’t think of any older than St. Frances. Lester, too, said there is a value in preserving heritage structures for future generations. “Of all the arguments we have going in Prince Edward County about the significance of what Prince Edward County represents to the rest of the province and the heritage we have, this certainly has to be considered one of the pillars and corners of that argument. It would be so much a shame to see some-

thing like this not maintained,” he said. “For people who think that's just an old building, if we don't preserve our old buildings, we don't have any old buildings. If we don't preserve our history, then we don't really have any history”. Thazhappally said the crowd of people touring the site last Thursday gave an indication of just how much interest there is in keeping the building active. He spoke about St. Frances of Rome, an Italian woman who lived in the late 1300s and early 1400s. She was a devoted wife and mother, who was also known for her social work, taking care of the poor and needy, spending her own wealth to do so. She also convinced other wealthy people to follow in her footsteps. She turned her family’s country estate into a hospital where she clothed and fed the poor. Later in life she nursed her husband who

was suffering from wounds incurred while defending the pope until his death, then turned to lead a monastery she had started. Thazhappally said when the Wellington church was built, one of the sponsors of its construction was named after the saint. As Finnegan noted, much of the history of the church’s founding is not known. Historians have suggested two Catholic priests came to the Kente settlement in 1668 at the invitation of the Cayuga people, part of the Iroquois nation. Little was known about the survival of their mission, but by the 1830s, Margetson said, there were over 100 students enrolled in Catholic schools within the community. He said it was likely that Archibald McFaul, a prominent Wellington citizen who built the historic Terra Hall, was involved the construction of the church as well.

“He’s buried here in the cemetery and, of course, Terra Hall later became a boarding school for the Catholic church,” he said. “He dedicated it to the church in the early 1840s.” Finnegan said once the renovations are complete, the church will also look at the possibility of future upgrades, including badly needed work on the cemetery yard south of the building. “It’s badly in need of some tender, loving care,” he said. He added there may be some debate about whether to have water or power in the church in the future. There has been some talk about the idea of using the church for weddings and other discussions about the possibility of a candlelight service at Christmastime. Right now, Finnegan said Thazhappally has stated the renewed interest might be reason to extend the summer mass season to June and September as well. Despite the summer construction, a community has still gathered in Wellington for weekly mass and some credit is due to a good neighbour. When he heard about the work taking place, Rev. Andrew Wilson, the priest at St. Andrew’s Anglican Church volunteered his space and he even moved his mass times around to allow the Catholic parishioners to keep their customary noon

worship time. It wasn’t uncommon for 60-80 people to visit St. Andrew’s for those masses. Wilson said there really wasn’t much thinking about the situation. “What an exciting opportunity this was for all of us at St. Andrew’s,” he said. “We’ve done work with the Catholic church and Catholic ladies in the past. This came up and we really are all sisters and brothers in Christ.” “This was an opportunity to be hospitable and we were thrilled to offer our church and work together.” Wilson said he was glad Anglicans could support Catholics while they took on a very special project. He also added he wished the church sharing could have

continued. That sentiment was shared by Elizabeth Brown Davidson, one of the members on the committee that worked on the rehabilitation project. “I’m just so excited the Catholic and Anglicans got together over the summer. That’s the way it should be,” she said. “We do it in the community anyway, but for us to be invited to their actual place of worship is such a privilege.” St. Gregory parish council chair Barb Lyons said she enjoyed the warmth extended and added she hopes there can be a way for the two congregations to continue to spend time together socially and spiritually.

Peewee AE Kings turn in dominant performance to blank Stirling, improve record to 2-2

The Scotiabank Prince Edward County Peewee AE Kings moved their record back to .500 (2-2-0) thanks to a 7-0 whitewash of the visiting Stirling Blues on Saturday afternoon. Kings netminder Owen Tyres wasn't just tire kicking as he handled every Stirling volley that came his way for his first shutout of the season. The Kings attack was led by Emerson Byford who scored at hat trick. Cale Carter picked up a pair of goals while Parker Mattis had a single. Assists went to Aiden Reddick (two), Spencer Scott, Carter Knock and Owen Payette. The Kings look to continue their winning ways on Sunday when they host the Durham Crusaders at Essroc Arena. Puck drop is 5:45 p.m. In other Kings news this week... n The Beatty Seeds Novice BB Kings earned a split of their action this weekend, blasting

the visiting Tweed Hawks Friday night before losing a heartbreaker to the Gananoque Islanders on Saturday. In Picton Friday evening,

the Kings were scoring early and often to cruise past the Hawks 10-3. Jaxson Payne, Tobey Thompson, Mitchell Sills and

Kaden Koutroulides each potted a pair for the Kings while Theo Lavender and Tyler Doolan added singles in the balance attack. On Saturday at the Prince Edward Community Centre, the Kings faced a tougher task and were unable to capitalize on numerous chances against the visiting Islanders. Down 3-0, Mitchell Sills got the Kings back into it in the second frame but the Kings could not get it any closer than 3-1. This Friday, the Kings are in Otonabee to take on the Wolves. Their next home action will come the weekend of Oct.23-25 when they take part in the annual Recharge with Milk Prince Edward County Minor Hockey Association Fall tournament. n The Ainsworth Funeral Home Atom AE Kings tasted defeat for the first time this season, getting shaded by the visiting Napanee Stars on Saturday 6-5.

The Kings got off to the start they wanted to with Dakin Jones blasting a pair of goals inside the opening two minutes to build a 2-0 lead. Napanee responded with a pair of their own later in the opening frame to make it 2-2 after one period. In the second, the Kings again responded early with Keegan Zantingh setting up Ethan Snider to push the locals ahead 3-2. But the Stars scored and then scored again to jump back in driver's seat at 4-3. Matthew Vincent got his team back to square just prior to the close of the second and it was again tied at the end of a period, this time 4-4. In the third, it would be the Stars jumping out to a two goal lead to make it 6-4 but Jones would bring the Kings to within one with his hattrick goal. Down 6-5, the Kings would lift netminder Cooper Facette-Grondin with just

over a minute left but they couldn't find an equalizer behind the Napanee goalie.
