County council votes against restructuring

10-member plan defeated 9-7 in recorded vote, no alternative sought chAd iBBotson

Council’s size will not change. That was the decision of a lean majority of council at an Oct. 9 special meeting. The decision was made in a 9–7 recorded vote with councillors Kevin Gale, Keith MacDonald, Barry Turpin, Bev Campbell, Heather Campbell, Jim Dunlop, and Mayor Peter Mertens voting in favour. While that vote made it somewhat redundant, council also voted against the 5B map ward configuration that was recommended for approval at the last committee-of-the-whole meeting. Councillor Robert Quaiff proved to be the tiebreaker on the size of council vote. While Quaiff had recently voted in favour of reducing council size and a five-ward system, he said his opinion changed after attending several town hall meetings Photo cutline Banding assistant Rinchen Boardman shows off a sharp-shinned scheduled over the past couhawk as visitors to the Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory watch intently and take ple of weeks.

issues. He said in this case the silent majority “found its voice.” “The comments made here tonight make me more understanding of the fact that our traditional boundaries are extremely important,” he said. He said many residents he heard from were more concerned with representation than with the number of councillors. He said things were moving too fast to make a “logical and correct decision” on council size. Clerk Kim White advised that — under the Ontario Municipal Act — if council had voted to reduce council size, they would also be bound to change ward boundaries. She said if ward boundaries were not changed before the next election, each of the 10 wards would have been represented by one councillor. Close to 50 people packed the benches of Shire Hall to hear the discussion. A petition of 900 signatures was presented by resident Kathy Vowinckel in opposition to any changes. Several in attendance spoke to urge council to leave council size — and more specifically ward boundaries — as is. Among them was Consecon resident Bill McMahon, who was a member of the Prince Edward Citizens' Assembly. “The county is not at a crossroads, but the electorate is caught in the crossfire,” said McMahon, referencing an op-ed piece distributed to local media by Mayor Mertens.

THE ROTARY CLUBS OF PICTON AND WELLINGTON Rotary helped launch the Global Polio Eradication Initiative. Since then, Rotary club members worldwide have contributed more than $1.2 billion and countless volunteer hours to the polio eradication effort. Overall, the annual number of new polio cases has plummeted by more than 99% since the 1980’s when polio infected about 350,000 children each year. October 24 is World Polio Day and the Rotary Clubs of Picton and Wellington are active partners in working toward a polio-free world.

will feature the songs and solicit donations to help pay for the recording of the fundraising CDs. Those CDs will be launched at the Rotary District 7070 conference Oct. 25 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one day after World Polio Day â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with the Picton club soliciting other clubs across the region to participate in the sales of the CDs. Here in Picton, the music will be available for purchase at Books & Company, at Frugal, and through Rotarians. Lambert is also working on having the offering available through iTunes. The club is hopeful the campaign will go viral and raise enough money to reach one million young people suffering from the disease. According to statistics monitored by Rotary and the World Health Organization, there are only three

countries in the world left with known cases of polio â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Nigeria. Though it remains a challenge for aid

The club believes that for the sale of each CD, it will be able to inoculate 20 children against the disease it has been working to defeat since 1985. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are excited to be the sponsoring club of BeeBaaBoo and this exclusive CD release. It fits in well with our youth service initiative,â&#x20AC;? said Picton Rotary president Matt Stiff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are grateful to Wellington Lambert for his generosity

in helping us do our small part in ridding the world of this deadly disease.â&#x20AC;? In addition to the CD release itself, Lambert is also planning a benefit concert to raise funds to help with the campaign. That event will be held at St. Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church on King Street Nov 10 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $10 at the door. The afternoonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program features Broadway and pop songs primarily.

The Rotary Club of Picton is hopeful that as more children become familiar with the music of local singer/song writer Wellington Lambert, they will have less need to voice a familiar refrain. The club has teamed up with the local artist to distribute a 12-song CD for $20 with all proceeds going to Rotaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign to rid the world of polio. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of really fun songs here,â&#x20AC;? said Lambert of the CD, entitled BeeBaaBoo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re cute and funny songs teaching counting and the alphabet. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really meant to be entertaining, while also educational.â&#x20AC;? Lambert said he and two Toronto-based artists, Shelley Hines and Susan Davy, performed the songs a cappella throughout the Toronto area and found children were really able to pick up the music when performed in that style. Recently, Lambert, a Cherry Valley resident, had been talking with Rotarian Pierre Klein and he decided the polio campaign would be a really good cause to lend his music to. The club agreed and it has worked with Lambert to create a web site www.beebaaboo.ca which

workers to get into those countries to offer assistance, Rotarians remain optimistic they can make a difference there. Just last year, the unthinkable happened as India was removed from the list of polio-endemic countries. Rotary has partnered with the Microsoft founder Bill Gatesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; foundation to raise more than $200 million in new money to fight the disease over the past year, adding to a joint effort that has raised more than $605 million to battle the disease. This year, Rotary International will also launch â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Biggest Commercialâ&#x20AC;? featuring several celebrities and world figures hoping to raise awareness they are â&#x20AC;&#x153;this closeâ&#x20AC;? to eradicating such a deadly disease.

OPP concludes 18-day seatbelt blitz Scarecrows spread access to arts Some 4,229 charges handed out to those not in compliance

The OPP recently finished a fall seatbelt campaign in which it laid 4,229 seatbelt charges on roads across its coverage area in Ontario. Over the course of 18 days, the OPP checked vehicles and conducted public education sessions about how seatbelts can save lives. One of the methods the OPP used was to show

videos featuring a woman named Jennifer Walker. Walker received an OPP warning about not wearing a seatbelt and two days later, she was involved in a crash that police say probably would have ended her life. Instead, she lived and expressed her gratitude that an officer likely saved her life by changing her mind

loping Goat in 2007. In the three years Small Pond has hosted the festival, it has been raising money to ensure that children in other countries have similar opportunities to be involved in art projects through the Puppets Without Borders initiative. “It’s really important that we’re funding an art project by getting people to participate in an art project,” said Dalby who went to Ghana with Susanne Larner recently to teach art and puppetry to hundreds of children. As a result of fundrasing events like the scarecrow festival, artists like Dalby are able to travel to areas where young people don’t typically have access to art materials and they’re able to leave an art kit for each child to work with. “It’s really hard for us to imagine that anyone would not have that access,” Dalby said, adding it was an inspirational trip to be able to see those children use their kits and share their creativity with others. At the festival itself, there was no shortage of materials available for the craft of the day. About 100 wooden crosses of various sizes were lined up in the yard for fam-

ilies to pick out and then, nearby, there was a barn filled with used clothing that could give a scarecrow just about any kind of style its creators wanted. Of course, there were also markers and seed bags for the heads and a large pile of straw for stuffing. Murtanovski said though all of the visitors seem to have different visions for their scarecrows, they share a joy for working with the straw to stuff their creations. “I’ve been watching and the most fun part is the stuffing. Everyone has a smile on their face,” he said. “There’s something magical about stuffing a scarecrow with straw.” Dalby said the festival started earlier this week due to a yard sale they were running in conjunction with the event. She felt the traffic was steady and the weather was great, inviting more families to come out and enjoy their time together. “Over the course of the weekend, we usually have the materials for 100 scarecrows and that has usually been enough,” she said. Some visitors chose to leave their creations behind, while many took their $20 scarecrows home.

was a handful for his secretary Sarah (Hilary Fennell) but she managed to withstand his abuse and work productively with him in his later years. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

Fennell said she felt there was a lesson in compassion portrayed in the piece, in that it shows no matter who a person was or where they were in life, they still had gifts to offer if someone took the time and made the effort to learn them. For those who remember the PECTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rendition of Willy Russellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Educating Rita two seasons ago, McCarthy and Fennell bring the same deep chemistry and impeccable timing to offer a believable, enjoyable performance.

Growing old is an inevitable part of life that no one can escape, even those who have lived important, noble lives. While dealing with that, most people also must face another stark reality that life isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to stop or wait for them to adjust. That was the case for the late American attorney general Francis Biddle, who gained fame as the head of the Nuremberg trials. The latest offering by the Prince Edward Community Theatre (PECT), the aptly titled Trying by Joanna McClelland Glass, shows that journey for Biddle as he comes to realize his own limitations with much difficulty. John McCarthy plays a cantankerous, somewhat hollow man as 81-year-old Biddle with sincerity and authority. He has the ability to hold audiences captive with each line, including a poignant one when he looks to his address book of influential friends and discovers sadly that â&#x20AC;&#x153;All the Bs are dead.â&#x20AC;? McCarthy said his character really lends a human element to a somewhat larger-than-life figure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Probably what happens is that people will see what happens in the later stages of anyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all get old and face things like serenity, dementia, and Alzheimers. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of the journey of life.â&#x20AC;? Offering balance to Biddle is his young, persistent secretary Sarah, played by Hilary Fennell. A young woman from the Canadian prairies living in the 1960s, she is determined to earn her place in the world apart from her husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name or where he was educated. Fennell explained the relationship between Sarah, a a character based on the playwright Glass, and Biddle is one fuelled by contempt, but one neither character is quite ready to give up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He knows heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult, she knows he knows heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult, she waits it out and he lets her wait it out,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relentless.â&#x20AC;? For her part Fennell shows that frustration well, yet also shows her determination as every time Biddle dismisses her as being too brash or bold, or too simple to understand, she still comes back with a welltimed line and a sympathetic approach some may not have taken. As time goes on, Sarah becomes more bold and challenges Biddle more until he realizes he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go on without her assistance any more and finally turns over control of his office to her.

PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY

Looking back in the

Picton Gazette 80 years ago — 1933

■ A pair of would-be bank robbers who held up Wellington’s Canadian Bank of Commerce at gunpoint in broad daylight were each sentenced to seven-year terms by Magistrate Calnan. Percy Gerrit and Miles Pettit were found guilty of robbing with personal violence, intent to rob while armed with offensive weapons, carrying concealed weapons and being in possession of a stolen motor vehicle. ■ Southampton defeated Guelph in the Ontario intermediate baseball championship in an 8-2 game played in Guelph. The game was broadcast back to Prince Edward County by radio — the first such broadcast of its kind — on CFRB. Many sponsors put money down to advertise and make the two-hour crowd-pleasing broadcast a reality. ■ A central depot was set up in Picton for residents to drop off goods to be loaded into a car on the relief train headed to western Canada from Wellington.

60 years ago — 1953

■ The drive to raise $400,000 for the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital was about to start. Organizers were looking for 3,000 people to join, with 1,000 people agreeing to donate $200, $100, and $50 toward the facility. Gifts were to be given according to means and it was hoped the new hospital would move forward as a memorial for the county’s dead in the two World Wars. ■ The Picton Public School Board presented financial figures to show that its plan to build a new elementary school would cost less than reconditioning the old Picton Collegiate, which had been damaged by fire. The reconditioned school with five rooms added to it would cost $181,250 after provincial grant money was received. The new project would cost taxpayers $174,900 to build ■ The Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment was to dig up a nine-foot metal mascot known as “Little Chief” prior to its reunion dinner Thanksgiving day, but its members disagreed on the location in Europe where they buried the figure.

40 years ago — 1973

■ Federal agriculture minister Eugene Whelan told Hastings and Prince Edward Liberals that he favours programs to ensure farmers receive adequate income to encourage them to boost their production of food with fewer risks. He shared details of some subsidy programs his government had introduced. ■ A prolific eastern garter snake had a litter of 52 young snakes in the Sandbanks Provincial Park offices — a larger litter than the 20-30 snakes considered normal, but a smaller one than the 87 young snakes considered the record.

20 years ago — 1993

■ Picton mayor Charles Hepburn said county residents would have to keep up the pressure on the province to not introduce fees for use of the Glenora ferry service. Hepburn said he believed the town benefitted $3-4 million annually from people using the service. ■ Trustees with the Prince Edward County Board of Education voted down an information package from a group looking to reopen the Regent Theatre to make a statement the school system was not a postal service for the community.

Hunting for that post-Thanksgiving feast

The Thanksgiving turkey last weekend was not everything you thought it might be? Take heart, because there is something, likely in your own backyard, that you can supplement that meal with, if you are still feeling hungry. Mourning doves! That’s right. Ontario hunters this season, until Nov. 13, can hunt mourning doves for the table. The daily bag limit is 15 per day. You will likely need that many, and plenty of time to de-feather them, eviscerate them and tie up their legs, before you even approach a square meal. Possession limit is 45. This column is not about whether including mourning doves on the upland game list is right or wrong. After all, they are hunted in the United States and have been for many years, and have been hunted in British Columbia since 1960. I just think it’s silly, like nibbling on one of those frozen quails like they have at No Frills, tasty though they may be. It is doubtful if they offer as much meat as a woodcock or a Wilson’s snipe which are also hunted. Ontario hunters will be able to hunt doves if they carry a migratory game bird hunting permit. This permit also covers ducks, Canada geese and other migrating game birds. It just strikes me as odd that every time a species reaches a healthy population, it must be “managed”. And mourning doves are in good supply, make no mistake about it. The Canadian

Wildlife Service says the mourning dove population in the province during the hunting season is somewhere between 2.8 million and 3.7 million. The wildlife service estimates between 14,000 and 20,000 doves will be killed during this season in the province — less than one per cent of the Ontario population. Twenty million are harvested each year across North America, and the populations are still increasing in some areas, so there is really no need to worry from a population standpoint. With everything from woodcocks, snipe, ducks, geese, turkeys, grouse, bear, elk, moose, gallinules, coots, rails, snapping turtles, and bullfrogs already on the game list, it seems like overkill – pardon the pun – to include something so small as to offer but a mere taste. However, a wildlife biologist with the Ontario Federation of

The Edith Fox Life and Loss Centre had another successful pie auction at Taste this year as it raised $1,475 in one hour. With that funding, the centre was able to start another one of its Lambs programs this week and it is hopeful it can increase Camp Star programs in various schools throughout 2014 according to founder Kathleen Foster Morgan. The idea of the pie auction

goes back to the namesake of the centre, Foster Morgan’s mother Edith Fox, who won a shopping spree in the 1960s at the Picton grocery store after she baked an award-winning pie at the Picton Fair. More than 50 years later, the old tradition was reborn with Sobeys sponsoring the auction at Taste. “We are fortunate to have the talent of local chefs and the best county bakers pro-

Anglers and Hunters, says the birds are excellent grilled, broiled or roasted, and noted the harvest is in line with the sustainable food movement. "We don't expect there to be any impact because there is such a large population." They're abundant, they're fast and difficult to shoot, and they're delicious, hunters add. They don't have a lot of meat on them, but hunters say that doesn't matter. As a non-hunter by choice with some of my closest friends being hunters, I can buy that argument okay. Really, I can. But I worry about side effects from this new addition to the game list. No – it’s not about if someone will be picking them off at our bird feeders. That’s not apt to happen, and any perpetrators will try it only once in my backyard before I eviscerate them. However, it is a bit worrying when you hear the claim that the dove hunt will be great for young hunters, “giving them the opportunity for them to get out and shoot and practise their skills." Let’s hope this statement is not meant to translate into target practice. I will be the first to admit that we have sloppy birders and nature enthusiasts out there who do not practice ethical behaviour, but it happens in the hunting fraternity too. This is why hunting has received a bad rap over the years. It happens everywhere, no matter what the pursuit. Of course, there is the usual purported benefits that

the dove hunt is good for the economy, because hunters will spend money on hunting accessories, shotgun shells, dove decoys and even hotel rooms for those visiting from the United States…..also good for the doves in general because, as a hunted species, a lot more money will be put towards doves in terms of wildlife research and conservation, ya-da, ya-da, ya-da, ad nauseum. How come no one listens to nature enthusiasts when they make the same claims, with real figures attached, on how visiting birders to our area spend many thousands on accommodations, meals, gasoline, $5,000 spotting scopes, $3,000 binoculars and tens of thousands of dollars on camera equipment? Really, I am okay with doves being hunted from the standpoint of sustainable numbers. So, I don’t worry too much about them joining the extinct passenger pigeon whose numbers once darkened the sky. A different era and quite different contributing factors. I just find their addition to the game list, whether here or anywhere else, kinda silly. Next, it will be robins and nuthatches. They are increasing. Stay tuned.

Council missed opportunity to make positive change

THEY had a chance and they didn’t take it. Sitting before Prince Edward County council last week was a proposal that would have done a lot of good for governance in this community — but councillors decided they were better off ignoring the reasons to move forward with it to stick with the status quo. During the last municipal election, a majority of the people responding to a question about council size told the people they were electing they wanted a smaller council. People wishing to defend the status quo could use numbers to belittle that mandate, but there was no such groundswell at that time to keep council size the way it is. Encouraged by that mandate and cognizant of the fact County ratepayers brought the local system of governance before the Ontario Municipal Board during the last term on the issue of representation by population, council invested $25,000 in public consultation, where again, a majority of the people involved told council it should be smaller and suggested it consider addressing the uneven representation per seat at the Shire Hall table now. While some of the members of that assembly have been the most outspoken in favour of the status quo, none have denied that a majority of that representative sample of county citizens wanted to see change. The message appeared very clear. In a committee-of-the-whole meeting where plans were reviewed to achieve the objectives that citizens told council they wanted, councillor decided on a way forward and started the ball rolling on bylaws that would make it happen. Then, under the pressure of some they buckled and decided to not only reject the proposal in front of them, but also to not move forward with any other proposals, effectively reaching the same stalemate as past councils have reached. It’s a ridiculous position that should never have been taken.The fact remains that Prince Edward County has a significantly higher number of representatives per voter than many other Ontario municipalities and one can’t help but notice that even in much larger centres that already have smaller councils, like Kingston and Brockville, movement toward smaller, more efficient councils has gained support. The numbers also show that each one of those representatives does not have an equal constituency. Furthermore, if one asked most residents of this county where the boundaries are for a ward they do not live in, most could not tell the exact road or line that separates one from the next. The plan that was put before council and rejected would not have torn communities apart, nor would it have erased any past history. Instead, it would have delivered equitable representation and it likely would have politicized grassroots groups that would act in the interest of hyper-local areas. It was a step in the right direction and it was a step that council was told people wanted to go forward with. Of course petitions and more recent town halls brought opposition, they always do. Those in favour had already spoken. Council missed a big opportunity to do what was best for the future of this county.

DiscARTed art show and fundraiser opens this Saturday

The DiscARTed art show and sale opens on Saturday, Oct. 19 at 7 p.m., upstairs at Books & Company in Picton. The event is a fundraiser for the County of Prince Edward Public Library & Archives and the Prince Edward County Authors Festival. Everyone is invited to attend the opening and to visit the show throughout the week. Last year’s successful DiscARTed brought a wide variety of unique and beautiful artworks creatively imagined from pages of old books, and this year promises to offer more original works. “I believe visitors to the show were surprised at the range of pieces last year,” says Library chief executive officer Barbara Sweet. The exhibit offered everything from delicate jewelry to a sixfoot tall tent sculpture constructed entirely from old hardcovers. The artworks are created from books from the library that have been damaged or are outdated and destined to be recycled. “Though we sell the book donations we receive that are in good condition and desirable through book sales, there remain hundreds of books that are not suitable for selling,” says Sweet. “We are pleased that some can be rescued from recycling to be turned into pieces of art for this fundraiser.” This year’s exhibition will feature the work of 20 artists, with some entering two pieces. You will find works in various media including sculpture, painting, collage, and functional pieces such as lamps, furniture and jewelry. The show and sale runs throughout Ontario Public Library Week, Oct. 20 -26. On the same evening as the DiscARTed show opening, Oct. 19 at 6:30p.m., the Prince Edward County Archives presents a Cemetery Tour and Wine Tasting at By Chadsey’s Cairns. Last year’s successful event is being repeated by popular demand and offers a unique opportunity of a guided tour of this historic cemetery combined with a wine tasting to help raise funds for the Archives. For tickets contact Krista Richardson at 613-

These meetings are an invitation to the community to share their thoughts as to what they would like to see at the library. What programs might be of interest? What might we do differently, or better? Everyone is welcome. Lastly, on Wednesday, Oct. 23 at 10 a.m., the Picton branch presents a Tea and Talk for seniors. Shirley Kay, founder of The Butterfly Foundation, will speak about the work she has done with poor children in the Dominican Republic and other communities. Hear her first hand experiences with this nonprofit organization. Those in attendance will have the opportunity to help prepare packages of baby clothes to ready them for shipment to those in need. All are welcome. If transportation is needed, please contact Kate Konkin at least a few days in advance of the event at 613399-2023.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Vote on council size may show urban/rural split Following last week’s Council vote to reject the mayor’s plan for a downsized council (seven in favour, including the mayor, with nine opposed) and new electoral boundaries, I looked for a pattern in the voting of the councillors. Consider the “central” wards of Wellington, Bloomfield, Picton and Hallowell – mostly urban. Five of six councillors voted in favour of the Mayor’s plan, and the one opposed

is a former Athol councillor. (The mayor’s vote is not included.) Then consider the “outlying” wards of Ameliasburgh, Hillier, Athol, South Marysburgh, North Marysburgh and Sophiasburgh – all rural. Only one of the nine councillors favoured the mayor’s plan, while eight were opposed. So, councillors for the central/mostly urban wards were 83 per cent in favour of the mayor’s plan, and those for the outlying /

rural wards were 89% opposed. A very significant central vs outlying divide, and one that merits attention. How to understand the result? It could be that the councillors for the outlying wards were concerned about the adequacy of representation of the outlying areas in a downsized Council. And it’s possible that the councillors for the central wards were more confident of retaining elector support in a smaller Coun-

ty council. I think that council was much more focused on the question of downsizing than on the issue of reconfigured electoral wards. Those who favoured downsizing found reasons to override citizen opposition to the proposed electoral wards, while those opposed relied to some extent on this opposition.

First our provincial government expropriated the power of all municipalities to protect our home investments from giant wind factories in districts not zoned industrial. Now our cumbersome 16-member council has proven itself unworthy of

such power. It cannot even downsize itself, despite the clear wishes of its electorate and its appointed citizens’ assembly. In our last municipal election the county’s electorate clearly called for public consultation about

council size, but council dithered and delayed for more than two years, leaving insufficient time for proper consultation before the next election. And now for another five years Prince Edward County, with several more councillors than any others

municipalities of our size, must surely be the laughing stock of Ontario. Why bother voting? Democracy is gone from here.

I can't believe that our councillors paid $25,000 of our hard earned tax dollars for a citizens’ assembly report where two of its members, Kathy Vowinckel and Bill McMahon made deputations in opposition to the assembly’s recommendation, effectively, helping to cancel it out. I believe in freedom of

speech but if all or most of us had taken the time to participate in this discussion, if we had asked council to actually have a true debate as to why some councillors were so adamantly opposed to positive change, if we had asked council to think of what was best for the

County and not what was best for themselves like keeping their jobs, perhaps the $25,000 would have provided us with a plan that all of us could have agreed upon. As it stands, nothing has been achieved, the issue is dead, $25,000 has been thrown away when it could

have helped many organizations in the county and our councillors have kept their coveted jobs in order to continue to make similar mistakes. Shame on us all. I guess you get what you vote or as in this case, not!

Forums available for residents to comment on access to water

It's encouraging to see that neighbours such as John Porritt are trying to open a discussion around the accessibility of our County's waterfront. We are pleased to say that there are two forums where all residents can express their opinions on our inland lakes, shorelines, and watersheds in person. The first is the current review of the Coun-

ty's official plan where the public are invited to raise issues, such as water access. (Official Plan meeting information can be found on the County's web site.) Secondly, Quinte Conservation — along with consultants French Planning Services, and with the support of council - are in the second year of a two-year lake and watershed plan for East

Lake. A community workshop is being held on Saturday, October 26th from 10 a.m. until noon at the Athol hall, where again, everyone is invited to participate. You may also review the draft State of the Lake Plan and submit comments at w w w. e a s t l a k e p l a n . c a . It is hoped that the findings of the East Lake Plan will have a ripple effect of

benefit to other inland lakes and the Lake Ontario shoreline. Input from the public is very important and we urge everyone to make use of these opportunities to share their thoughts and ideas. Linda Cole President, Friends of East Lake Athol

Owners can remove listed properties Councillors vote against heritage committee’s proposal ChAd IbbotsoN

Staff wRIteR

Despite calls for councillors to hold off on a decision, committee of the whole voted to keep with past practice in allowing owners of non-designated properties included on the Prince Edward County heritage properties register to be removed from the register with a written request. The committee approved the motion at last Thursday's meeting and the issue will be up for approval at the Oct. 22 council meeting. The motion allows owners of listed properties to remove their property with a written request to the municipality's planning department. The motion reaffirms council's past position that staff would remove the property automatically upon receipt of the request. The motion also stated that council does not support the Prince Edward Heritage Advisory Committee (PEHAC) resolution that de-listing require a reconsideration of a property's cultural heritage value — especially if that means involving a consultant. Councillor Terry Shortt again supported allowing owners to remove their property from the list. Shortt said while the Ontario Heritage Act give council the authority to list and approve heritage designations for homes, it leaves all the financial responsibility on the homeowner. “I respect heritage and want to see us keep our heritage as much as anyone else, but you're putting the

entire financial burden on the owner and you're taking total control with absolutely no risk whatsoever,” he said. Shortt said if the province wants to preserve heritage without giving homeowners input, the province should be ready to purchase the property. “Just because they happen to own something that has historic value really doesn't give us a right to just take it away from them or take away their opportunities,” he said. Councillor Dianne O'Brien said council already decided on the issue and councillors should keep their word. “We told (residents) that day that their name would come off the list with a simple phone call. I don't know how we can go back now and not do that,” she said. Councillor Alec Lunn was outspoken in his opposition to the motion. He said listing simply gives the municipality 60 days of notice when a property owner intends to demolish or move a property and otherwise is just for information. He said PEHAC doesn't have the ability to give buildings a heritage desig-

nation — council does. “We have the right to designate a building without the permission of the owner and we are urged to do so by the Ontario Heritage Act,” he said. “We have permission to do that. This council has no appetite for that, so that's probably never going to happen.” Lunn said there has been a lot of “hysteria” around what PEHAC has been doing in terms of adding heritage properties to the register. He said PEHAC is just trying to preserve the county's heritage. “We're not really putting any teeth into saving our heritage — we could, but we aren't,” he said. “… If somebody's house is on the list it just says it's old — 'oh, how dare you, I want to be off that list. My house is old, but it's my business' — that's just foolish. We're just trying to protect what we have.” PEHAC member Janice Gibbons said the Ontario Heritage Act sets out guidelines for removing listed properties. The act says council should consult with the heritage advisory committee before making a decision, she said. Gibbons asked council to defer the motion to allow council time to reconsider. “I have to stress the only implication of listing is to give the county 60 days (demolition intent notice) instead of 10 to deal with an appropriate response — that's all,” she said. A motion to defer the issue to the council meeting of Nov. 26 lost. The main motion was approved with nine voting in favour.

The votes are in from the more than 2,200 patrons who attended Taste Community Grown at the end of September. This year, there was a tie for the overall peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choice award as Blumen Garden Bistro and the Urban Herb on the Curb food truck both managed to capture the taste buds of visiting customers. Blumen had a great day all around as it also captured the title for the favourite savoury dish of the show and the award for the best

food presentation. The favourite sweet dish award went to The Hubb at Angelineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for its delicious ice cream dilly bars. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favourite white wine award was shared between entries from the Devilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wishbone Winery and Keint-He Winery, w hile Sandbanks Estates took home the top prize for favourite red wine among a vast field of competitiors. A new champion emerged in the beer and cider category this year as Vankleek Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Beauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s All

Natural Brewing Company managed to take the spot often reserved for the County Cider Company. The best dressed booth at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festival was also a tie with The Merrill Inn and The Waring House sharing that award. The winners will receive their awards at a special presentation this morning at the Devilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wishbone Winery, according to Taste The County communications manager Lindsay Casey.

Prince Edward County seniors will have a new outlet for information starting next week on TVCogeco. Community Care For Seniors executive director Debbie MacDonald Moynes will partner with her South Hast-

ings counterpart Shell-Lee Wert to co-produce Seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Support. The outreach show will air for the first time Monday at 7:30 p.m. and provide information about services the organizations provide to help

seniors living at home. MacDonald Moynes said she is hopeful the show will help to reach isolated seniors who may not be reached through existing outreach.

County eyes early resolution court Chad Ibbotson Staff writer

The municipality will be exploring the merits of an early resolution court over the coming weeks. Committee of the whole voted last week to have staff come back to a future committee meeting with a report â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including projected cost and cost savings â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for an early resolution court for provincial offences. The motion was put forth by councillor Robert Quaiff â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who also serves Police Services Board chair â&#x20AC;&#x201D; following a board vote to recommend council exploration of the court as a potential cost-saving measure.

provided to committee of the whole by Quaiff says following examination of areas to trim policing costs, Provincial Offences Court (POC) was identified as an area where some savings could be found. Officers currently are required to attend POC after being subpoenaed for trials, although few are actually called to give testimony because many matters are resolved through plea bargains on the trial date. The court would allow a person to meet with prosecutors in court on a set date to seek a resolution without police officers attending court. Prince Edward OPP detachment commander Staff Sgt. Barry Freeburn advised the board that the process is effective and could result in substantial savings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's something we've been looking at for quite some time,â&#x20AC;? Quaiff told committee last week. He said the idea came to mind in an effort to scale back overtime costs for officers attending POC. He said currently, unless officers are on a regular scheduled day shift, they are in court on overtime. Officers are entitled to a minimum six hours to attend court on overtime. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Overtime earned in 2012 year-to-date was $151,035. Overtime earned to date for 2013 is $126,992,â&#x20AC;? Quaiff said, noting that exceeds the contracted overtime amount

for this year. From April to September this year total Prince Edward OPP overtime hours associated with POC was 349.5, which equates to a cost of $14,329. Approximate early resolution court costs for one half day per month would include a charge of $675 plus HST for a prosecutor. Office space and a Justice of the Peace were expected to be provided at no additional cost. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They would use the office space located at 67 King St., which would cost nothing,â&#x20AC;? Quaiff said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That would also add to the already in place system of the Justice of the Peace, who is scheduled for Picton matters on Wednesday mornings as well as two Fridays per month, at no cost.â&#x20AC;? The early resolution court process gives defendants for Provincial Offences Act Part I offences the option to request a scheduled meeting with a prosecutor to discuss a potential resolution of the charge. The Prince Edward detachment currently averages between 3,500 to 4,100 provincial offences charges per year. Quaiff said early resolution courts are in place in Belleville, Quinte West, and Napanee. Each have realized substantial savings on overtime, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's something we'd like to have support for,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Montreal man rides to Toronto and back to promote sport, cancer research Krouchev rolls through county twice on 1,333- km cycling journey AdAm BrAmBurger

Staff writer

It isn’t exactly the way most 52-year-old men choose to spend a week in October. Ned Krouchev rolled out of Montreal alone last Wednesday determined to complete a six-day 1,333 journey by bicycle to Toronto and back. Unlike most bicycle tours where there might be hundreds of participants riding and crew following on their own, Krouchev is doing his journey solo. “I’m completely on my own,” he said. “I can gather my thoughts better, but sometimes it is scary. It can reach nightfall and I’m not sure how much farther I have to go.” One might think it’s a daunting or even crazy ride, but Krouchev has his reasons. He desperately wants to bring public awareness to the sport he loves and he also is looking to find support for the upcoming Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer, where he serves as a crew member and a cycling coach. “Bicycling is a means of transport for the 21st Century,” the researcher said. “You can commute easily, it costs less, and in places where you can bike to work, the quality of living and wellness levels increase.” Krouchev said if he was to drive to his destination in Toronto, he likely wouldn’t get off Hwy 401 and it would be six hours each way with little enrichment. Cycling, he says he really gets to know the communi-

ties he’s visiting and appreciate them more for the beauty around him. “I’m discovering places like Picton, Brockville, and Kingston and they are worth discovering,” he

said. “This peninsula, I wouldn’t have known it without my bike. When you’re busy driving, you don’t get the feeling of what it is all about.” Krouchev said he de-

cided on the MontrealToronto route because it struck him as a very Canadian thing to bike along the St. Lawrence Seaway and recognize the long-standing friendship between Quebec and Ontario. “It’s really the birthplace of our country,” he said. Krouchev came into the county on the second day of his tour by travelling down Hwy 2 through the Deseronto area and coming over the Skyway Bridge onto County Rd. 49. He stayed at the Arcanada Bed and Breakfast, where hosts Dave and Anne Arcand read about his cause and offered accommodation. He said he was impressed by the area he rode through to get to Picton before heading up toward Belleville. “It’s very pretty here,” he said. “It makes you aware of the beauty of nature, which we often forget.” On the way back, he said he was hoping to vary his route to go along the lake on the Loyalist Parkway, taking the Glenora ferry and possibly visiting wineries along the way. Krouchev said at his age, he makes sure to pace himself and to fuel up on the food he needs to complete his journeys, which average 200 km per day. He said he’s been fascinated by the different people he’s met along the road and those he’s shared his story with, whether they were bed and breakfast operators, servers, or fellow cyclists. “I’ve met a lot of people

and enjoyed the company of the people I’ve met,” he said. Krouchev indicated his biggest challenge to completing the ride was the way some motorists drive. He reported being fairly safe at night with a flasher on the back of his bike and a headlight on the front, but said some drivers have a hard time seeing him when they go to pass other cars and in some cases they don’t take enough care when returning to their driving lane.

All in all, however, Krouchev said as of Day 2, the ride had been as he expected and better. “I was ready to face rain and wind as you might expect this time of year, but the weather has definitely been an ally in this undertaking,” he said.

This is the second in a two part series about getting your garden ready for winter. If you are behind on getting all your fall gardening chores done, don’t worry too much. We still have some beautiful days left in October and even into early November to get out in the garden. Remember the words of Maria Rodale, a member of a well known gardening family, who said that “nature is very forgiving”. That said what are your gardening priorities? If you still have bulbs to be planted, most will do well despite the late planting date. Some gardeners refuse to put garlic in before November

County to adopt longer hours

Daily service time to be extended by a half-hour Chad Ibbotson

Longer business hours for County offices could come as soon as next month if approved by council. Committee of the whole approved the hours and they are expected to appear before council for approval on Oct. 22. The committee recommended council extend service hours from 8:30– 4:30 to 8:30–5 p.m., for an additional half hour each day. The new hours would be effective Nov. 4 and would be extended to all public places of business. The extension comes after council approved the new CUPE collective agreement on Sept. 19 when the removal of a paid lunch for 33 inside staff changed their work hours. The change offered an opportunity to extend work hours by an hour per day, but chief administrative officer Merlin Dewing recommended extending hours one half hour per day allowing staff to be available at 8 a.m. prior to opening to the public. Dewing told the committee on Thursday the end of the day is generally busier than the beginning of the day and longer hours could be of better service to the community. “We're suggesting open at 8:30 and close at 5 which gives staff the ability to be on the job a half hour before the public walks in the door,” he said. “These hours also give us a greater opportunity to work with a one half hour unpaid lunch versus a full hour unpaid lunch and so it creates flexibility and it's a greater service to the public at no extra cost.” In September Dewing estimated the full extra hour would be a $235,000 per year value at no extra cost.

Examining the many causes of hearing loss

There are many causes of hearing loss, including genetic reasons, meningitis, ear infections, disease, injury, tumour, and drugs/medication. Presbycusis--hearing loss associated with aging-and prolonged exposure to noise are two of the leading causes of hearing loss. ■ Presbycusis - According to the Canadian Hearing Society, more than 50 per cent of Canadians over the age of 65 have hearing loss. As one gets older, the ability to hear, and make sense of what we hear, may gradually decrease. This hearing loss is called presbycusis, a gradual loss of hearing acuity. People with presbycusis usually first develop difficulty hearing high-pitched sounds. Consonant sounds in speech (s, sh, f, th, ect.) and other high-pitched sounds such as birds singing and bells ringing become harder to hear. Speech seems muffled and unclear without highpitched sounds. People with presbycusis often say, “I can hear you, but I don’t understand what you are saying”, or “I hear all right, but it’s just that so many people mumble when they talk.” The ability to hear lowpitched sounds is generally not affected. When lowpitched hearing is retained, vowel sounds in speech and other sounds such as footsteps and traffic noise can

still be heard fairly well. Many experts believe that presbycusis is a natural part of the aging process, but it may also be related to heredity and as the environment and recreational noise continue to increase, it is very probable that in the future people will experience more severe hearing losses. ■ Noise exposure - Excluding presbycusis, the single greatest cause of hearing loss is noise. The noise that surrounds us takes its toll on our hearing. Noise-induced hearing loss occurs when soundtransmitting hari cells in the inner ear become damaged and are no longer able to signal the auditory nerve to

send electrical impulses to the brain. The two main factors affecting hearing loss are how intense the noise is and how long you are exposed to it. Although people vary in their responses to noise exposure, some clear statements can be made. Research has found that prolonged exposure to 85 decibels (dB) or greater, over time, will cause a permanent hearing loss. At 85 dB, the maximum exposure each week should be less than 40 hour.s Examples of sounds that are approximately 85dB are a dial tone on a telephone and a Walkman at about one-third volume control. That same Walkman, on one-half volume control, can easily put out over 100dB where hearing damage can begin after 15 minutes of unprotected exposure. Rock concerts and even the ballet can be at levels over 110 dB! It is important to know that noise damage can occur when the volume seems tolerable, even normal. It’s not how loud it sounds that counts, but rather how loud it is. Use your eyes to set the volume on the dial, not your ears. You can do a reality check on the noise level from timeto-time. Leave your radio set at listening level when you slow the car down after highway driving. What you hear then is what you got.

It is the additive nature of the noise that surrounds us that we must be aware of. Noise-induced hearing loss is insidious, much like the effect of long-term exposure to small amounts of other toxic pollutants. But once noise has done its work, the damage is permanent and irreversible. The above was taken from a pamphlet from The Canadian Hearing Society. Next week’s column will deal with tips if you have a hearing loss and how to communicate with a person who has a hearing loss.

HEARING HELP CLINICS

The Canadian Hearing Society regularly holds Hearing Help Clinics at the Community Care office in The Armoury. This is your chance go have a Hearing Care Counsellor answer questions about hearing loss, give information about hearing health care, provide communication strategies for hearing loss, do hearing screening, provide tips for hearing aid maintenance and demonstrations. Call 613-476-7493 for dates and to schedule your half hour appointment with a hearing care counsellor. For more information about services available for seniors call the Belleville CHS office at 613-966-8995.

Musicians to work together in support of Reaching for Rainbows this Sunday Fundraising concert will help girls learn necessary life skills

Harmonious group Over a dozen local musicians will gather for A Canadian

Song Celebration on Sunday Oct. 20 at 2 pm at St. Andrew’s in Picton in support of Reaching for Rainbows, after-school program for girls. Musicians include (above) Rachel Morris, Colleen Galway, Amy Rutherford, Michelle Found, Judy Fraser, Fraser Hardman, Micheline Cox and Mark Despault. Tickets are available at Ten Thousand Villages Picton (190 Main St. ) for $10 or at the door for $15. . (Submitted photo)

This Sunday a rare collection of county musical talent will be on display at St. Andrew’s in support of Reaching for Rainbows. A Canadian Song Celebration will feature local talent singing music written by Canadian writers, including locals Suzanne Pasternak and David Simmonds and well-known songwriters like Gordon Lightfoot, Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, and Stan Rogers. Some of the musicians who have signed on in support of the concert include Luke and Cole Norton, Pasternak, Simmonds, Lorain Sine, Lenni Stewart, Rick Zimmerman, Colleen Galway, Micheline Cox, Mark Despault, Amy Rutherford, Michelle Found, Judy Fraser, Mark Despault, and Fraser Hardman. The Reaching for Rainbows program is an after-

school session for elementary school girls and one of the visionaries behind the program, Rev. Lynne Donovan says it has grown over the years because of need in the community. “Presently there are 23 girls in the program who participate. There are a lot of families who are struggling right now,” she said. “Many don’t have the support that they need. We want to create a space where girls can discover their own gifts and feel secure in their success.” That goal is achieved through offering the program to girls age 5-9 and allowing them to take part in a play-based, childdirected program. It offers them skills in vital areas like decision making, conflict resolution, and building health relationships. Donovan said the release of the recent County Community Foundation Vital

Signs report underscores the need for such a program, given the statistics it highlighted about child poverty and high teenage pregnancy rates within this community and some EQAO tests results that show there’s room for for improvement. The Reaching for Rainbows program has been licenced through Ontario’s Ministry of Education, it is housed on the lower level of St. Andrew’s Church, and it relies on the generosity of granters and donors to offer the budget necessary to sustain the service and expand it to a new group of incoming Grade 1 girls each fall. Tickets for Sunday’s performance are available in advance at Ten Thousand Villages for $10 or at the door that afternoon for $15. -Adam Bramburger, Staff

Council reaffirms its support for the operation of PEFAC athletic facility Members vote to extend capital, operating grants through to 2017 Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

Councillors showed their support for the local aquatic centre last week, voting to recommend continued financial support. Council voted at their Oct. 8 meeting to approve a $58,000 grant to the Prince Edward Fitness and Aquatic Centre (PEFAC) for 2014 to offset operating shortfalls and that a capital grant of $20,000 be approved for 2014. In addition, council — as a showing of support for PEFAC to the next term of council — supported continued grants of $56,000 for 2015, $54,000 for 2016, and $52,000 for 2017. Council also showed support for continued capital grants of $20,000 for 2015–2017. The move was not a budget pre-approval, but was seen as a way to show the next term of council current council's support for PEFAC's fiveyear business plan. While several councillors were concerned about

pre-approving budget dollars for the next term of council, that was determined not to be the case. “A successor council is not bound by the actions of the current council,” says a report on the Sept. 26 committee-of-thewhole agenda. “Approval of the operating and capital grants for 2015 and subsequent years will be required by the successor council.”

Over the past eight years council has committed $624,000 to PEFAC. The non-profit's mission statement says the organization “strives to promote and support the health of our community by providing a swimming pool and fitness facility with diverse recreational programs that are accessible to everyone regardless of

physical, economic or social barriers.” PEFAC's business plan says the swimming pool can't be self-sustaining financially while remaining affordable and accessible to the community. Many councillors expressed their support for PEFAC. Councillor Kevin Gale said at the Sept. 26 meet-

“I ran the numbers, $624,000 we've paid over eight years averages out to about $78,000 a year. The lowest numbers, when we talked over the years about maybe putting in a pool, was $15–$18 million,” he said. “If you take the lower of those two numbers, $15 million, and divide by $78,000, it would take 192 years to have a pool — we're getting a great bang for our buck.” Councillor Keith MacDonald also expressed his support for the motion at the September meeting. “Every year at budget time there's always a big hubbub about the money we give the aquatic centre,” he said. “If we had to provide the service that they do and the management they provide and take it out of taxpayers' dollars, you'd have a real session on your hands as far as increasing taxes.”

Appointing a substitute decision maker It can be difficult to think about the future and planning for situations where we may no longer have the ability to make decisions for ourselves. As a lawyer who practices in the area of estates, trust and capacity litigation, I often meet with families who do not know what to do when their loved ones are incapable of making decisions about finances and/or personal care and have not appointed anyone to make these very important life decisions for them. If proper plans are not in place, a person who is willing to take on the role of a substitute decision-maker on behalf of the incapable person will have to apply to a court and ask to be appointed as the incapable person’s “guardian”. Applications to the court can be a daunting and expensive process since the Office of the Public Guardian and Trustee must be involved and the person applying to the court will have to prepare detailed plans on how they propose to deal with the incapable person’s finances and personal care issues. The public guardian and trustee has a number of functions, including investigating reports of abuse of those who are incapable. They also act as a guardian of last resort where an incapable person does not have a power of attorney and does not have anyone else

YOUR ESTATE

who can act on the person’s behalf. An application can be avoided if you have proper legal documents in place, a “continuing power of attorney for property” and a “power of attorney for personal care”. These documents allow you to give a person of your choice the authority to make decisions for you relating to your finances and personal care (including health care, housing and safety). It is important to appoint someone that you trust to manage your affairs. Unless you state otherwise in the document, the person appointed to manage your finances on your behalf will be able to make any decision relating to your property that you could have made yourself, except making or changing your will. It is also important that the person you appoint to manage your affairs be aware of what is in your

REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL

Will so that they do not deal with your property in such a way that is inconsistent with your will. For example, you would not want your substitute-decision maker selling your jewelry if you intended to leave it to your granddaughter. Most people wish to control as best they can how their finances and care will be taken care of when they no longer are able to make these types of decisions. Planning ahead is the best way to ensure that this happens.

Enbridge is proud to celebrate 100 years of 4-H in Canada. For over a century 4-H has been helping to bring out the best in Canadian youth. As a city girl, Kendra Webb wondered where she would find a place to pursue her agricultural interests. But after joining a 4-H dairy club she knew she’d found it. Not one to pass up an opportunity, this urban cowgirl has participated in over 40 clubs as a 4-H member. From vet-science to photography Kendra has learned new skills, made valuable friendships and broadened her horizons. She’s still exploring her future but no matter what the destination, Kendra is glad that her journey began with 4-H. At Enbridge, we understand that when we invest in organizations like 4-H, we’re helping young Canadians realize their dreams and become the community leaders of tomorrow.

Pirates’ recent efforts give coach a lot to be thankful for Recent additions pay dividends against their former club ChaD Ibbotson

Staff writer

The Picton Pirates went into the Thanksgiving long weekend on a positive note. The team improved to 61-0 this season with a 5–2 win over Napanee last Thursday and an 11–0 blowout of the Deseronto Storm on Friday night. A release posted to the Pirates' Facebook page says the Pirates “produced their best team effort of the season on home ice” on Thursday. Picton got a break early in the contest when the Raiders were assessed a bench minor for too many men. On the ensuing power play Evan Greer banged in a loose puck in the slot to make it 1–0. Brian Bunnett and Brandon Peever had the assists. Picton continued to press the attack and a strong forecheck forced some turnovers, but Napanee goaltender Josh Lasher made some solid saves to keep the divide at one. With just under six minutes remaining Tyler Romain scored a power-play marker to even things up. The Pirates speed began to pay dividends in the sec-

ond. Kenny Murduff broke the deadlock with a goal at 4:36 with Chris Jones and Brett Maracle tallying assists. Three minutes later Murduff increased the Picton lead to two, finishing off a play from Bunnett and Peever. At 17:01 Napanee's Bud Norris cut into the Pirates'

lead, but just 45 seconds later Greer potted his second of the game to make it 4–2. Bunnett picked up his third assist of the night on the play while Geoff Cleminson had the other helper. Ryan Sizer's goal 1:25 into the final frame would prove to be the final goal of the game as the Raiders

were unable to muster any more offence. Peever earned his third assist of the night, and Taylor Brown had the other assist on the play. “I thought we played the game much quicker tonight; we had our legs moving and we were hard on pucks,” said Woodward in the release. “We want to play with more structure

Dukes bolster lineup by acquiring veteran McCann Wellington had coveted sniper for several years before it made deal Jason Parks

Staff writer

The Wellington Dukes have added depth to their already deep lineup, acquiring Bowmanville native Andrew McCann from the Carleton Place Canadians. Although the 20-year-old left handed shooting forward is coming to Wellington from the Central Canada Hockey League, McCann is hardly an unknown quantity to Dukes coach and general manager Marty Abrams. McCann is a longtime veteran of the Ontario Junior Hockey League and has had stops in Villanova, Orangeville, Pickering, and most recently, Trenton where he had four goals and four assists in nine games earlier this season. Abrams said the acquisition of McCann, who is best described as a gritty setup man, has been a long time in

the offing. “We've chased this player for a long time,” Abrams said. “Last January, we worked very hard to work a deal with Pickering that couldn't get done and this summer we tried hard to work with Pickering again and couldn't strike a deal.” The Golden Hawks were able to make a deal with the Panthers and landed the four season veteran, but, in spite of a nearly point-per-game pace with the Hawks, McCann fell out of favour with Trenton bench boss Jerome Dupont and was sent to Carleton Place for defenceman Forest Donovan. McCann played a pair of games for the Canadians in the CCHL and was then sent to Wellington for future considerations. “He's got tremendous speed, he's skilled and create things off the rush, he adds a

and I thought the team did a good job of paying attention to detail. The biggest difference overall was our second efforts on loose pucks and our ability to get in on the forecheck.” Woodward said both Bunnett and Peever stood out in the contest as Bunnett used his sized to make plays and Peever won puck bat-

tles and moved the puck quickly out of the defensive zone. Woodward also noted Nolan Powers and Brown faced their former team for the first time since their rights were shipped to Picton.

End of one, start of another? The Wellington Dukes (11-3-0) saw the end of a nine-game winning streak this week but the club righted the ship in dramatic fashion in the subsequent game to get on the right side of the ledger. The first-place Dukes were downed in Toronto Wednesday night at the hands of the Lakeshore Patriots 4-3 in a game where Wellington gave up a goal with ten seconds to go in the first period and were never able to draw even. On Friday, after they had

a day to regroup and prepare for the St. Michael's Buzzers, the Dukes were able to shade the visitors 2-1 in a battle of division leaders that required overtime. With the split, Wellington holds down first place in the Ontario Junior Hockey League with 22 points and lead suddenly floundering Kingston by four points in the East Division race. The club had a full head of steam heading into Toronto Wednesday night, however, an injury to starter Lucas Machalski pressed backup Adam Wood into action.

PIRATES, from page 25

“Nolan was a physical force all night; he has the ability to control the game defensively with his size and strength. He’s a difference maker and he played that way tonight,” said Woodward. “Brownie played with a ton of energy. He’s done an excellent job transitioning to our systems; he’s a heart and soul type of player and he creates a ton of space for his team mates with his willingness to go to the dirty areas of the ice.” There was no denying the Picton offence on Friday as the Pirates directed 81 shots on goal to Deseronto's 22. Sizer opened the scoring midway through the first. Under a minute later Murduff added a goal . Bunnett would find Davison for a power-play goal at 14:30 and would score one of his own at 16:49 With 2:45 remaining in

the first Nolan Van Vlack scored an unassisted goal to make it 5–0. Affiliate player Calum Kennelly scored his first goal as a Pirate six minutes into the middle frame. As the third period began, the Pirates again flexed their offensive muscle. Murduff scored his second of the game to open the frame. Greer added another at 12:00 and just over two minutes later Bunnett scored to give the Pirates a nine-goal lead. Affiliate player Curtis Smith scored his first goal as a Pirate at 19:03 and Murduff completed the hat-trick with 13 seconds left to complete the rout. The Pirates face Port Hope tonight in Picton before travelling to Napanee to take on the Raiders Saturday. Puck drop for both games is 7:30 p.m.

CARROll, Steven Dear Steven, Out of sight Doesn't mean out of heart or mind. Love and miss you, Susan. EvERAll, In loving memory of a dear Mom and Grandmother, Elizabeth "Liz" Everall, who passed away October 12, 2005. I glanced into the mirror Never dreaming that I'd see A face, one so familiar, Yet you were looking back at me. I saw your loving smile, so warm That crinkle round your eyes I heard your gentle laughter Your often soothing sighs. While reading stories to my children I heard your voice in mine, I pause and think of years gone by, another place and time. You nurtured me and watched me grow Held me when I cried And through I often stumbled, You were always by my side. You shared the love of God with me Taught me how to pray And often when unsure You helped me find my way, I'm often told I'm just like you A compliment I treasure For within my heart I know we have a love beyond all measure Love you and miss you Mom, Love Karen and family

Jamie Kewley

In loving memory of a dear son, brother, uncle and friend. April 29th, 1973 - October 19th, 1997

We thought of you today And the day before that too. We think of you in silence And often speak your name, All we have left are memories and pictures in a frame. Your special smile and special face In our hearts, safe in a special place. Your memories are ours to keep Which we will never part, No matter where we go No matter where we are You are always in our hearts, We love and miss you every year that we are apart.

Novice Kings dominant in games against Stirling, Brighton; atom teams also finding early season success

The County Farm Centre Novice Kings continued their winning ways this weekend, taking a pair of games against Eastern OMHA rivals in dominating fashion. On Friday, the locals were in Hockeyville to take on the Stirling Blues. Finding themselves in the foreign territory of being down 2-1 after the opening period, the Kings kicked into high gear, bombing the Stirling net with 45 shots and leaving the Blues behind 7-2. Goals were scored by Dominic Guerrera (two) and Ben

Smith (two) while single tallies were added by Liam Philip, Kieran Young, and Gerrit Kempers. Assists went to Josh Cunningham with two, Kempers, Guerrera, Philip, Nathan Steen, Lochlan MacDonald, and Riely Grimmon. Austin Stock was in net for the win. On Saturday playing in Picton, the Kings ran their record to 5-0-0 with a 6-1 victory over the Brighton Braves. Philip and MacDonald each scored twice with singles added by Riley Grimmon and Kempers. Assists went to

Grimmon with two, Kempers, Young, and Smith. The game was highlighted by a smooth three-way passing play in the second period from Young to Grimmon to Philip. The Kings have outscored their opponents by a combined score of 35 to 5 to open the regular season and now take their perfect record into next weekend's show down versus Port Hope in Picton at 1 p.m. on Saturday. Elsewhere in minor hockey action... â&#x2013; The Greer Excavating

Atom Kings took three of a possible four points in Eastern OMHA league play recently. On Oct. 6, the King and Stirling Blues knotted at 2-2. The Kings got a pair of goals from the back end as Ethan Abrams and Jasper Gilbert each bulged twine in the smartly played road effort. On Oct. 10, the Kings found themselves down 2-0 to the host Gananoque Islanders after the first period only to roar back to a 7-2 triumph. Abrams, Cole Lavender, Parker Mattis, Spencer

Haennel, Wyatt Slade, Gilbert and Justin Crowe all lit the lamp for the locals. Assists went to Nick Foster, Slade, Cameron Pero, Hayden Legere and Gilbert. Nic McGrayne was solid in the Kings net in both games. The road trip continues for the Kings as they visit Ennismore and Port Hope this weekend. â&#x2013; The Ainsworth Funeral Home Atom AE Kings (3-0-0) proved they can turn it up or lock it down with a pair of wins this past weekend.

On Saturday in Picton, the Kings blanked the Stirling Blues 2-0 thanks to great goaltending performance by Nolan Lane.Spencer Scott and Emerson Byford bulged the Blues twine. The next day, the Kings ratcheted up the offence sending nine into the Tweed Hawks net in a 9-1 romp. Ryan Cunningham had a memorable day, potting seven goals. Aiden Reddick added a pair for the hosts.

Mertens says his council is finished with issue of restructuring itself COUNCIL, from page 1

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The size of council issue should have been laid to rest almost three years ago.â&#x20AC;? McMahon said the size of council question on the 2010 election ballot wasn't binding. He said less than 34 per cent of the eligible electorate voted in favour of reviewing council size. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can play with the figures all you want, but 34 per cent of those eligible to cast a vote and to vote yes in no way equals an 81 per cent yes vote by the county electorate,â&#x20AC;? he said. Resident Gary Mooney, however, said something has to be done to fix the imbalanced representation across the County's electoral wards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Representation by population) is the important issue, because it could result in an appeal to the OMB (Ontario Municipal Board) and an externally imposed solution,â&#x20AC;? said Mooney. Mooney said the imbalance in representation is clear. He said there are 2,431 electors per councillor in Hillier, about four times the 584 in Bloomfield. Ameliasburgh electors vote for three councillors while many wards vote for just

one, he said. While a slim majority voted for the status quo, a good potion of councillors held in their belief that a smaller council could work more efficiently. Gale said he continued to believe residents are in favour of a smaller council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I've campaigned on a smaller council basically since 1998. I've been elected five consecutive times, so the message to me from Sophiasburgh people was they agreed with that, otherwise they wouldn't have put me here,â&#x20AC;? he said. More than anything else, Gale said, he believes procedural efficiencies could be found with a smaller council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have the same size council as the City of Hamilton and I think we can be more effective and provide better bang for the buck if we have less here,â&#x20AC;? he said. Dunlop also continued to support the citizens' assembly's recommendation of 10 councillors and a mayor. He said talk about the haste with which council was moving on the issue was exaggerated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This started back in 2008,â&#x20AC;? he said, noting that was the genesis of the idea to put the question on the

2010 ballot. He said no matter how the boundary maps are drawn, there will be those who oppose them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You could put 25 maps on top of 5B and you're still going to have people against it,â&#x20AC;? he said. Dunlop said the municipality has faced criticism about â&#x20AC;&#x153;red tapeâ&#x20AC;? and a smaller council could alleviate some of that concern. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A smaller council would make it more efficient,â&#x20AC;? he said. Following the vote Mertens said despite a positive public view toward a smaller council, he said the

clear obstacle was ward boundaries He said for this term of council the issue is dead. Mertens wouldn't speculate whether council size would be a topic of discussion for the next council term. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For this council it's finished and I'm not going to suggest what the next council will do or will want to do,â&#x20AC;? he said. Mertens said although he didn't believe the impact of the electoral ward boundary changes would be as severe as many implied, there was sentiment that citizens didn't â&#x20AC;&#x153;want to lose what (they) cherish.â&#x20AC;?

As far as the timetable â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which many residents derided as â&#x20AC;&#x153;hastyâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mertens said it was a timetable council set by pushing the issue further into the term. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We went with the timetable council established. This wasn't me or anybody that was rushing it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had since the 2010 election, we had that whole period of time to deal with this and at different times we tried to deal with it and it kept getting postponed and postponed.â&#x20AC;? Mertens the action in the past few months has

been an attempt to deal with the issue before the 2014 election. He said consultation didn't begin with town hall meetings over the past few weeks, but was ongoing throughout the summer with the citizens' assembly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The method of consultation we used happened all summer long, so it didn't just happen in the past two or three weeks,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Ś (Council said) this is how we want consult to the public, through the citizens' assembly â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which I think is still a very valid process.â&#x20AC;?

Banding assistant impressed by variety of birds at Point

BIRDS, from page 1

Just down a trail into the wilderness, Donaldson pointed to a series of nets strung out almost like one would expect to see on a tennis or badminton court. Those nets would be left up on banding days from dawn for six hours. Later in the evening hours after dusk, other nets would be put up to catch hawks, owls, and other raptors. At the first net, her partner Don Chisholm was busily working to untangle a nearly motionless kinglet, which he would put into a special cloth pouch that Donaldson would run back into the observatory. While the kinglet was fairly easy to take out of the net, Chisholm said that wasn’t always the case. Some birds, he noted, could be especially violent upon learning of their capture. “It really depends who flies into the net,” he said. Donaldson carried three birds back into the banding station where she was met by Lizzie Grayshon, one of the assistant banders who took

LIZZIE GRAYSHON

up longterm residence at the facility. Upon pulling each bird out of its bag, Grayshon identified it to Donaldson, who recorded the information in a log. Grayshon, then, clipped a band with a unique number on its leg. She said she uses specific bands for specific birds. “You can’t squeeze them too hard and do any damage,” she said. From there, she makes her best educated guess at each bird’s age, sex, and fat before using a special scale to weigh it before letting the bird fly out the window. She said the birds gener-

ally see the banding process as a harmless one. “The birds treat this event as a missed time for feeding, they don't treat it as a predation event,” They treat it as missed time and eat more.” Feeding time is important as the birds stop over here to fuel up before crossing the lakes as just one step in a long journey south. Many of the birds tagged in the fall, according to Kent, are typically those hatched over the previous three to four months. Prince Edward Point was also a destination for Grayshon, a zoology grad from Cardiff University in the United Kingdom. She said the job provided her a rare opportunity to study more birds and to see a new part of the world. “There's not many places in the U.K. that have these big solid stations that band constantly for a few months, so it's a great way to travel and see something new,” she said. “.Its a voluntary position, but I get my bed and board so it's perfect for me.” Already, Grayshon said she’s observed more than 1,000 birds at Prince Edward

Point, a number that should help her get her banding licence when she returns home after the season. Grayshon said Prince Edward Point isn’t as remote as she thought and she’s managed to get some real experience thus far. “You need quite a lot of training, it's experience. Every bird you get out of the net is going to be slightly different,” she said. A highlight of her stay was pulling a northern goshawk out of a tube a couple of days earlier.“ “It’s talons were absolutely huge, it is probably most impressive bird I've seen so far,” she said. “They’ve caught seven in the past 10 years, so we don’t get them every year. We’re lucky to have caught one.” Grayshon also said she was impressed by the number of species she’s had to learn. She explained in the United Kingdom, there are two types of sparrows. Here, she’s had to read a whole book on the different kids. “There’s a lot more birds here, but you pick it up fast. You see them every day.”

Victory against St. Michaelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s could go down as one of most memorable at Essroc Arena to date But Dukes coach and general manager Marty Abrams said a last minute substitution was not the reason for the team's third loss of the year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to give full credit to Lakeshore, they came out flying and took the game to us pretty good,â&#x20AC;? Abrams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really didn't get our bearings until the third period when we started to skate with them.â&#x20AC;? Abrams said in his eyes, both Machalski and Wood are providing the club with the type net minding they need to win most nights. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It shouldn't matter who starts and when we are out skated, outworked like we were for the first two periods, it didn't,â&#x20AC;? Abrams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We

made it very close in the third but it was a matter of too little, too late.â&#x20AC;? The teams traded unsuccessful chances until late in the first when Doug Bonar gave the hosts a 1-0 lead on the power play with just nine seconds left. After the break, Toronto Lakeshore struck just 96 seconds into the second when Nathan Feric counted for a goal. Mike Soucier got Wellington on the board at 5:04 converting a Spencer Turcotte feed, but the Pats added a pair later in the period to take a 4-1 lead into the second intermission. It wound up being to tall a hill for the Dukes to climb although Wellington did make an effort. Kyle Paat's power-play

blast at 2:54 got Wellington within shouting distance. Toward the end of the game, Steven Deeg picked up his second helper of the night with 44 seconds left as Erick Delaurentis bagged his seventh goal to make it 4-3 but that was as close as the visitors would get. On Friday, Wellington and St. Mike's put on a good show for a good crowd, combining to produce one of the top 10 games played so far at Essroc Arena. After a scoreless first where Wellington controlled the tempo and pace but were unable to have much say along the boards, the locals got on the board first in the second period when Cody Gratton led a rush and dropped the puck at the blueline for Soucier.

added. After a hectic start to the season in which the club was tasked with several tough road trips, Wellington will now enjoy a much more subdued pace. With over half the month left, Wellington only plays four games including tomorrow night's home contest against Buffalo. This game marks the first time since the club was called the Niagara Scenic and played out of the old Metro League that the franchise will visit Wellington and the Jr. Sabres are an up-and-coming squad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the last couple of years, (general manager) Larry Playfair has done some nice things and has some great things going on with that club,â&#x20AC;?

wasn't until Delaurentis lugged the puck up the ice, crossed the blue line and rifled a laser beam past the catching glove of Bessette 50 seconds into the frame. Abrams agreed the game was one to remember. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a really well played game and one of those games you love to coach in. A lot of structure, a lot of back and forth line match ups. It was very much like a playoff game,â&#x20AC;? He said. Wood stopped 29 of 30 Buzzer shots and won his third game of the season in his first back-to-back start assignment of the season. He made the big saves when he had to. He was solid and, at time, spectacular and all we can ask from our goalies is give the team a chance to win,â&#x20AC;? Abrams

The Buzzers buzzed the cross bar with about seven minutes left, forcing Wood to do a dance to make sure he didn't knock the puck into his own cage. In the final two minutes, Wellington setup shop in front of Bessette and only a combination of great saves, iron and deflections kept the game tied. In the extra session, Wellington had a few grade A chances to end it early but it
