Wind opponents march with message for Wynne Liberals Rally urges province to step in and put stop to White Pines project ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER
More than 300 people marched a kilometre and a half down Main Street Sunday waving signs, singing Twisted Sister’s “We’re Not Going to Take It”, and chanting about stopping Premier Kathleen Wynne. With Oct. 15 the date that wpd is allowed to begin full-blown site work for the White Pines Wind Project on the county’s south shore, local wind opponents decided they’d stage a protest and informational rally in hopes that the province will make a decision to stop the installation of nine 500foot turbines dead in its tracks. Following a two-and-a-half hour rally at the Regent Theatre featuring a range of speeches on health impacts, endangered species, water, the law, and local implications, winemaker Norm Hardie delivered a plea to the majority of people who remained that Prince Edward County should not give up its fight. “Going forward, we have to let this government know that this is not going to happen. It is simply not going to happen,” he said. “The government is in position to cancel this project for a half a million dollars. It’s going to cost us $100 million over the next 20 years. We don’t need to spend $100 million on energy we don’t need. We have a chance to cancel these contracts and with all these other reasons, we put these together and the government has

no choice — it has to change.” Hardie said he chose to locate his winery in the county for its incredible climate and soils.

ing host communities like Prince Edward County. After hearing the experts gathered for the rally — people like Dr. Robert McMurtry, an Order of Canada inductee and former medical dean at the University of Western Ontario; Les Stanfield, a former Ministry of Natural Resources ecologist who authored the province’s streams protocol; and John Hirsch and Cheryl Anderson, appellants in successful, underdog Environmental Review Tribunal (ERT) hearings — Smith said it “should be obvious to anyone with common sense” the project should be cancelled, but yet it continues. The reason, he said, is simply politics. He noted that after both the ERT that quashed the nine-turbine Ostrander Point Wind Project and the ERT that reduced the White Pines Wind Project from 27 turbines to nine, most thought local opponents had won on environmental grounds. Then, Smith said, the government buckled as the Independent Electricity Systems Operator amended its contract to allow White Pines proponent wpd to produce much less power. “The government bent over backwards to accommodate a Germany company to allow them to go ahead, changing the contract so they could set up and operate in Prince Edward County, an unwilling host community when I don’t think any community in Ontario has put up such a fight.” Smith called the decision to abdicate the project “an easy one” clouded by politics and by people misunderstanding the impact industrial wind projects have on the energy system.

Community Care celebrates four decades of service and leadership for seniors Anniversary gala offers opportunity for organization to honour long-time its long-time executive director and staff and volunteers that helped it run JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER
CELEBRATING 40 YEARS South East LHIN board member Brian Smith (left) and executive director Paul Huras share a laugh with Community Care for Seniors executive director Debbie MacDonald Moynes during Community Care’s 40th anniversary party Thursday. (Jason Parks/Gazette staff)
Active and retired political and business leaders and organizational staff past and present gathered en masse at the Rotary Hall in Picton Thursday to toast 40 years of supporting seniors in our community. It was four decades ago when over 20 agencies in Prince Edward County collaborated in a pilot project to enhance the services offered to the community's older residents and, in that initial launch, the Prince Edward County Community Care for Seniors Association was born. One of the first of its kind in Ontario, the association has engaged the skills and enthusiasm of over 500 volunteers to deliver a wide range of services to older adults in the community for well over half a century. From transportation services to social and fitness programs, foot care clinics to Meals on

Wheels, Community Care has provided much needed services and been the catalyst for keeping seniors in our county not just surviving but thriving in their homes And as it was an official opportunity to fete the organization and all the help the Community Care has doled out in four decades, the banquet also served as an opportunity to commemorate its long-time executive director Debbie MacDonald Moynes. Community Care president and board chair Barb Proctor spoke of the organization's ongoing collaborations and partnerships that have made the services offered to seniors living in Prince Edward County so dynamic and fruitful “Relationships with the Prince Edward County library system, the Prince Edward Family Health Team, Canada Post, Canadian Union of Postal Workers, the OPP and the municipality are true examples of ongoing team and collaborative approaches that enable seniors to live independently in their homes and to remain connected to their family, their neighbours and their friends,” she added.
And as the face of the organization, Proctor said providing a steady hand over times of uncharted waters has always been its executive director. MacDonald Moynes joined the organization in its early days and, for the past 36 years, has been working tirelessly, dedicating her skills to the betterment of seniors here. Other dignitaries taking part in Thursday's celebration included Bay of Quinte MP Neil Ellis and Prince Edward County Mayor Robert Quaiff. Ellis thanked the organization’s volunteers both past and present for crafting a legacy organization in Prince Edward County that's built around volunteerism. “When you look at organizations that succeed and ones that don't succeed, it's all about governance and volunteers and to see the past and the present here tonight, it shows how well this organization is run and how its valued within this community,” Ellis said. The MP added getting seniors to live and stay in their homes and keeping them independent in a community like Prince Edward
County is important and referenced the 'grey wave' of aging baby boomers in the offing. “There will be some tough slogging ahead for some areas so I'm happy to see how healthy Community Care for Seniors is are and how ingrained this organization is in the community,” Ellis added. In his remarks, Quaiff acknowledged former Prince Edward County Mayors Leo Finnegan and James Taylor who were both in attendance. Both men dutifully lead municipal government while in their senior years and Quaiff called them both mentors that offered an extreme wealth of knowledge. Quaiff began by stating the fabric of Prince Edward County is immensely stronger thanks to the many contributions of enthusiastic volunteers, staff and the seniors that are served by the wonderful organization. The mayor explained the municipality had the second largest build of seniors per capita in Ontario and sixth largest in Canada.

Fire officials believe arsonist may be responsible for recent rash of barn fires Ontario Fire Marshal, OPP to continue to investigate blazes JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER
A second suspicious barn fire in successive weeks and a potential connection to similar incidents in Lennox & Addington County this summer have local fire officials wondering if there is a well travelling fire bug targeting little used barns in the area. Prince Edward County fire crews were called to a report of a fully involved barn on County Rd. 13 between the hamlet of Black Creek and Murphy Road just after midnight on Saturday. In turn, local fire officials were quick to notify Prince Edward OPP and the Ontario Fire Marshal's Office that another nonenergized barn had been ignited. Chief Scott Manlow said the blaze met the criteria of being a suspicious fire as it was similar to the barn fire on County Rd. 49 in that it was set late in the evening hours and the barn wasn't being used for anything other than dry storage. “If it falls into the same criteria, we make the call to the O.F.M. and they come down and conduct an investigation,” Manlow told the Gazette. “They arrived on scene Saturday morning, conducted an investigation and recorded their findings.”
GONE IN AN INSTANT A burnt cinder block foundation is all that remains after a suspicious fire razed a barn in South Marysburgh in the early morning hours Saturday. (Jason Parks/Gazette staff)
The barn contained a riding lawn mower, a few small implements and some hay but no animals had been housed in the barn for some time according to Manlow. As was the case in the fire on County Road 49, the 24' by 50' , 1,000-square-foot structure was a complete loss and replacement value of the barn in South Marysburgh was pegged at $50,000. Manlow said figuring out losses in these situations can be tough considering recaptured timbers and barn board can fetch huge dollar amounts from the right buyers. “We deal in replacement value but if you look at the barn on County Rd.. 49, it had those 6” by 8” beams that can be worth a lot to the right person,” he added. In addition to the loss of the structures and the potential for the fire to spread to adjacent properties, there's also the stresses it puts on the fire coverage of

adjoining wards. “There are replacement plans in place in the event there's another call in the same area but it does thin out the resources out a bit,” Manlow said. “We spent 12 hours at the scene, six hours fighting the fire and six hours cleaning up and helping with the investigation and it's a taxing event on the
department and not to mention the cost to taxpayers.” On top of that, it's unsettling to think the brave firefighters of Prince Edward County are risking their lives because of someones deliberate actions. According to an OPP press release issued Saturday, no suspects have been identified at this point for the second fire, however, the investigation is continuing into a suspicious barn fire that occurred on October 08, 2017 on County rd 49 in which a four-door sedan type vehicle beige or taupe in colour was seen in the area several times prior to the blaze breaking out. Both fire and police officials are asking the public to vigilant in observing barns and sheds in secluded areas that could be targeted by unknown person(s).
A number of suspicious fires are also being investigated in the Napanee area. Its believed no less
than six barns have burned down in suspicious circumstances in the past six months.

A two-day clean up effort at Sandbanks Provincial Park by volunteers including over 80 PECI students have alleviated some of the marine debris that washed up on shore during this summer's high water event. Panthers enrolled in the school's Venture program were at the Lake Ontario beach front just north of Richardson's Campground/Lake Shore Lodge area Friday collecting drift wood, plastics of every
description, foam goods and aluminum cans as part of the Friends of Sandbanks-Organized clean up efforts to reclaim the beach which was closed this summer to the public. This weekend's event at the park was part of the 2017 Great Canadian Shoreline Clean Up effort that has seen over 71,000 kg of garbage, wood and recyclables collected from 12,952 km of Canadian coastline this year. Park superintendent Robin Reilly said the beach was closed this summer and the amount of

debris that accumulated on the expanse facing Lake Ontario was unlike any other season and it was vital to remove the material this fall ahead of next years beach season. “There was a huge amount of plastic litter and also nail-filled boards and pressure treated lumber, likely from a number of washed out docks,” Reilly said. The clean up, organized by the Friends of Sandbanks, was just one of several projects undertaken by the volunteer group this summer. Reilly had a chance to explain the impacts of the shoreline cleaning efforts and how the Friends of Sandbanks benefit the park to students prior to Friday's undertaking. “The opportunity for interaction with the schools is highly beneficial to Sandbanks and I hope to them as well,” Reilly added. “We
do two or three school projects per year and we try to have them work on environmental projects like tree planting.” PECI teacher Sarah Vader said the students were put to the task on Friday and didn't shy away from rolling up their sleeves. “We felt we were able to get quite a bit accomplished but there seems like there's quite a bit of work to do. Vader said the students appreciated being able to help a nonprofit Friends group and to be part of a bigger collective effort like the Great Canadian Shoreline Clean Up was meaningful. Friday's collection efforts cleared hundreds of pieces of drift wood from the shore and over 16 kg of plastic items were collected.

Police volunteers visit county schools as part of four-day cycling tour that promotes cancer awareness
Give Where You Live raises over $20,000 for Camp Trillium JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER
The name might not be the same but the Give Where You Live (GWUL) campaign has the support of children in the Quinte region. Formerly known as Pedal for Hope, a four-day bike tour involving members of regional police forces including the Prince Edward OPP detachment came streaming though Prince Edward County last week in an effort to raise funds for Camp Trillium’s OuR Island on West Lake near the village of Wellington. All told, the GWUL tour raised upwards of $20,000 —double the organizers’ initial goal and the rebranding allows organizers to decide where the money raised would be best allocated and have the most impact for children fighting the dreaded disease. Locally, over $1,000 was raised at schools in Prince Edward County. On Wednesday, the cyclists brought their travelling fundraising party to PECI complete with the fanfare of loud rock music, balloons, ice cream eating contests and general craziness. Despite the fact PECI was in the middle of its Terry Fox Run fundraiser last week, the school jumped at the chance to be a tour stop. Typically run in the spring in years past, the fall timeline meant the school realty needed to step
up its fundraising game. The students did just that according to PECI Canadian and world studies educator Greer Koutroulides. “We knew it would be a tight timeline after Terry Fox last week but our students responded really well and really supported GWUL,” she said. “This school has a strong community feel and

you can tell that by the money raised and the support of Abigail Heffernan.” Despite all the partying and festival-like atmosphere Wednesday, the Grade 10 student was able to provide some context for students to help her fellow classmates understand what it’s like to get that diagnosis no one wants to hear. Just days into her Grade 9
year, Heffernan was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia with the rare Philadelphia chromosome. "Those are just some fancy words for a type of blood cancer, with an abnormal chromosome attached to it," Heffernan said matter-of-factly.

Council supports plan to increase HST by one per cent to pay for infrastructure CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER
Councillors backed a resolution of support for a proposed increase in HST that would assist municipalities with infrastructure costs. Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) senior policy advisor Matthew Wilson gave councillors an update on the Local Share plan during last week's committee-of-the-whole meeting. The committee supported a resolution confirming Prince Edward County's support of the plan. It will go forward to council on Oct. 24 for approval. AMO's proposal is to add one per cent to the 13 per cent HST, with the additional tax being dedicated to infrastructure funding. After rebates for low-income Ontarians and administration costs, the plan is projected to produce $2.5 billion annually. The dollars would be collected at the provincial level and be redistributed to all municipalities based on an allocation formula. For Prince
Edward County, it could mean an additional $6.58 million per year in additional infrastructure funding. The plan was presented to all major party leaders in August and all three rejected the concept. Last Thursday, Wilson said it's a $4.9-billion challenge shared by 444 Ontario municipalities and one AMO believes it will take time to bring party representatives on board with. “It isn't a sprint, it's a marathon,” he said. He said the Local Share concept can be part of a long-term solution to municipalities' infrastructure woes. “What we're all about is really imagining a prosperous future for our communities,” said Wilson. “How can we find a path towards meeting the needs we know we have, addressing infrastructure deficit, and trying to manage, in a better way, some of the property tax increases people face across Ontario.” He said the plan has been put
together over the last couple of years, beginning with AMO member consultation back in the spring of 2015. After spending time in working groups, working with special advisors, and distilling options from fall 2015 until now, AMO has begun to present the Local Share plan to its membership. Wilson said there were several guiding principles for the plan. It had to be strategic and forwardthinking, it had to be flexible, accountable, and transparent. It also had to be fair, equitable, and sustainable. He said the one per cent increase in HST was measured against 44 other options, including a one to 10 per cent municipal fuel tax, income tax, and a new vehicle registration fee. “We put all those through a filter to narrow down some of the options,” Wilson said. Ultimately, Wilson said AMO landed on the one per cent increase in HST. The additional tax would fund roads, bridges, and transit and help reduce pressure on property tax bills, he said. Wilson said it's a bold step, but one that may be necessary given the province's finances. The 2017 provincial budget shows debt of

table, you also have to understand the interests of the other side,” he said. “… The long-term outlook for the provincial financial situation is not fantastic.” With the Local Share plan, Wilson said municipalities could diversify their revenues, reduce the $4.9-billion infrastructure gap by half, and could help lessen municipalities' vulnerability to policy chances at the federal and provincial levels. He said it would be predictable funding that could facilitate long-term financial planning for infrastructure. Wilson said there would be a sliding scale approach to the distribution of the funding that would be calculated per household. In the County, it could represent an additional $6.58 million annually for infrastructure work,
he said. Mayor Robert Quaiff sits on the AMO board of directors and is chair of the Eastern Ontario Wardens' Caucus. He supported the resolution, saying municipalities are often told to think outside the box. “This is basically what AMO has done, they have thought outside the box,” he said. “… I look at $6.58 million coming into Prince Edward County, I think that's a win for us for sure.” Councillor Jamie Forrester also supported the resolution. “This is a problem that we have to start taking seriously,” he said. “We talk about it every year and nobody else has come up with an idea to fix it.” He suggested the plan could at least begin a dialogue with the province. While the majority supported the resolution, those opposed to the motion spoke of affordability. “I don't think this is thinking outside the box at all and I don't think it's something new,” said councillor Dianne O'Brien. “It's what we always do, we always go back to the taxpayers and raise taxes.” She said supporting the resolution amounted to tacit agreement to raising taxes. Councillor David Harrison said he wouldn't support adding to the provincial sales tax. He said the price of goods and services increases every year, which translates into increasing annual tax revenue for the provincial government. He argued those dollars should be enough. “There's only one cow to be milked here and it's the taxpayer,” he said. “At the end of the day, I can't support it.”

‘Chew on This!’ awareness campaign encourages people to think about impacts of poverty Lunch bags bring issue of food insecurity to forefront Tuesday CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER
Poverty and its impacts were front and centre this week. Tuesday, Oct. 17 was the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty and local organizations came together to raise awareness through the “Chew on This!” campaign. Awareness events took place in Picton and Wellington during the lunch hour on Tuesday with volunteers sharing snacks in exchange for conversations about poverty, food insecurity, and the need for a federal anti-poverty plan. The event is held in association with the Dignity for All campaign organized through not-forprofit organization Canada Without Poverty, and advocacy group Citizens for Public Justice. Local groups partnered with the Hastings Prince Edward Poverty Roundtable to bring the campaign to Prince Edward County. Outside the Picton Library, County Foundation Vital Signs co-ordinator Diane Milan, Ellen Brownbill of the Picton United Church County Food Bank, and Alternatives for Women violence against women community counsellor Kelly Knott shared information with members of the public. Lunch bags containing an apple, a

magnet, and a postcard outlining the need for a formal plan to fight poverty were also distributed. Poverty has many impacts, but one of the most significant impacts is food insecurity, Milan said. The foundation's Vital Signs report indicates approximately 10.6 per cent of individuals over the age of 12 in Hastings and Prince Edward counties has faced some level of food insecurity. It's estimated that 860,000 people in Canada access food bank services

each month. “Poverty is a root cause of that insecurity,” said Milan. Milan said the focus of Tuesday's events was spreading awareness to members of the public about the level of food insecurity here.
“Prince Edward County in particular has a food insecurity rate of about 11 per cent — so we talk about that being about 2,500 people in the county that, at some point, don't have enough to eat,” she said. “That number is shocking.” Milan said food insecurity rates continue to rise despite some good work in the community including food box programs, community gardens, and cooking classes. She said steps have to be taken to address the root of the problem, which is often poverty or isolation. “It's particularly prevalent in Hastings and Prince Edward counties because we are so rural, so there is a real issue of mobility,” said Milan. “…Poverty is at the root of this and the Chew on This campaign really looks at what we can do to eradicate poverty and then eradicate the things that come out of that like food insecurity.” Milan said Vital Signs is currently undertaking a collective impact project that would assess the work already being done by local organizations to address the issue. She said the aim of the project is to tackle the problem in a systemic way. “If we each are doing our own isolated bit — if we have the food
banks working here, the family health team working here — you never tap into the ability to work collectively and really make a change,” Milan said. The project began in September and is being led by the County Foundation. It's not just organizations who can get involved. Milan said individuals can make a difference in a number of ways. A list of local organizations currently working to combat food insecurity is available through the vital signs report and Milan said those groups need all the volunteers they can get. Residents can also seek programs
and services online at www.foodaceess.ca. “Really what we're talking about today is just awareness, to know that this is even an issue in our community and to be open to looking at solutions,” she said. Part of the awareness campaign is also a call for a federal anti-poverty plan. Dignity for All has created a model national antipoverty plan.

COMMENTARY
All Ontario residents should amplify message to Wynne about wind
DEMONSTRATORS marched down Main Street Sunday chanting and waving signage in hopes of sending a message to the Ontario Liberal government. They don’t want industrial wind turbines in their community and they’re tired of being subjected to the ideology of the Green Energy Act, which offers little say for municipalities to make plans that suit the best interest of the people living in them. Long ago, their community declared itself not a willing host for this type of development and its residents have spent more than $1 million fighting through every legal avenue available to them. Sadly, many on social media and elsewhere have suggested their concern is a product of “nimbyism,” even as the advocacy group Wind Concerns Ontario recently received through Freedom of Information requests some 3,200 complaints from Ontario alone dealing with medical annoyance and sleep deprivation from those living near a turbine project. Others, including some in government, would criticize these citizens for having the gall to question “green energy” even if the construction of that energy slices endangered species habitat and the towers, at least in this region, sit directly in one of the most travelled migratory bird paths in the Americas on Lake Ontario’s north shore.
The Picton
Never mind that, the truth is these turbines aren’t really that green when one considers the policy structure Ontario has in place requires renewables to have priority access to the grid despite relying on intermittent forces like the wind. It means cheap, renewable energy from hydro-electric dams is spilled, it means nuclear power is steamed off and gas plants are ramped up and down — not exactly saving the burning of fossil fuels as one might expect. That file leads to an economic equation that should have all Ontario residents up in arms about the province’s continued insistence on adding wind procurement. Ontario pays between 11 cents and 13.5 cents per kilowatt hour for wind procurement and when the wind is blowing, it must take the power regardless of demand — this past weekend, that meant a lot of power. Often, excesses are sold at a loss to American states. It pays significantly less for other forms of procurement. That practice is costing every electricity user in the province money. It’s time all Ontario residents take up this fight and urge the government to put politics aside and put its people first. It can cancel further procurement, save money, and allow rural people to have a say over their own land. That all should add up to a no-brainer for Premier Kathleen Wynne as she hopes to be re-elected, but one wonders if she’ll ever get the message.

Playgroup a fixture at Picton library branch Pumpkinfest a big day in Wellington
Every Thursday morning, children and their parents and caregivers pour into the children’s room of the Picton library branch for stories, songs and more. They are attending the playgroup organized by The Hub Child & Family Centre. This group has been gathering for many years at the library. When the Hub Child & Family Centre (then known as Prince Edward Child Care Services) moved slightly out of town to their current location at McFarland Court, they recognized that it was important to keep a downtown presence. Fortunately, they opted to book space at the library and opened a door to a partnership that continues to this day. Over the years we have observed many families who attend playgroup at the Picton branch become regular library users, starting a lifelong habit of visiting the public library. Conversely, we have also been able to introduce children and their parents and caregivers to the broad array of services provided by The Hub Child & Family Centre. Playgroups focus on children 0-6 years old who attend with parents, grandparents, caregivers, et cetera. These groups offer a positive, interactive experience for parents and children. Play-based learning environments are provided in various locations around the county where children learn skills in socialization, communication, listening and problem-solving. Playgroup
INSIDE THE LIBRARY Whitney Shantz
provides children and families with an experience that they would not otherwise have access to at the library, like parachute play, experimenting with loose parts, imaginary play and self-directed learning in a safe and familiar environment. Today there was a clothesline and imaginary laundry station in the children’s section; another time you might encounter chamomilescented kinetic sand, or a miniature construction zone complete with hammers and “nails” (golf tees!). Parents are able to have their questions answered regarding their child’s development and receive referrals to connect them to other services if needed. When children and families come to the playgroup at the library we are able to find them books on topics of interest- for example for families tackling potty training or monsters under the
bed, or welcoming a new sibling into the family. Families who are interested in homeschooling their children have access to the Family Learning Resource Centre where there are books, workbooks, flash cards, and educational games and DVDs are available to take home to help augment their programming. If there are resources that a family is looking for, but we don’t currently have, we are able to either put in a purchase request, or an Interlibrary Loan Request to have the item brought in from another library in Ontario (and sometimes beyond!). The Picton library branch is celebrating its 110th anniversary this year. Also celebrating a milestone year, the Hub Child & Family Centre will be in existence for 28 years of operation as well as 20 years located at 10 McFarland Court, Picton. This anniversary happens to fall during the Week of the Child, which is October 23-27, 2017. During this week, stop in at the Picton facility or the Massassaga-Rednersville School site at 1113 County Rd. 3, Belleville during open hours to tour the two licensed child care facilities. The 20th anniversary open house will be held on Saturday Oct. 28 from 10 a.m. to noon at McFarland Court. Children's harvest fall fun activities are planned - pumpkin hammering/carving, giant fall harvest sensory play with pulley and weigh station, obstacle course and much more.
Prepare and plan for upcoming winter driving
It’s time to think about winter driving. You can prepare for winter by getting your vehicle a maintenance check-up before winter arrives. Always keep a survival kit in your vehicle. Consider installing four winter tires for better traction, braking and handling. Call your insurance carrier to see if they offer a winter tire insurance discount. Planning is also important. Choose your route ahead of time. Check the local weather forecast and road conditions by calling 511, or checking @511Ontario on Twitter before you head out. Consider delaying your trip if the weather is bad. Adjust your driving to suit current road and weather conditions. Slow down and stay in control. Keep a safe distance from other vehicles, especially snowplows clearing the road. Let’s hope we don’t see any snowplows for a few more weeks! Prepare yourself for winter driving by checking your car battery, brakes, tires, wipers, engine and lights. Sub-zero climates can be tough on your vehicle. The Government of Ontario states that more than 1,000 snowplows and salt/sand spreaders are used to fight winter storms on provincial highways and that plowing begins as soon as two centimetres of snow are on the pavement.

Local 4-H grower brings Canada’s heaviest known watermelon to weigh-off ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER
Everything seemed bigger in Wellington on Saturday. As the giant vegetables rolled through the streets for the 21st annual Pumpkinfest parade, audiences primarily dressed in seasonal orange stood lined a bit deeper than usual. Craft and produce vendors spilled into additional areas on both sides of Main Street downtown. Even the weigh-off itself attracted more people and more entries than many of its counterparts this year. “We probably had one of the better weigh-offs in terms of giant pumpkins. Most of the weigh-offs this year have been light,” said seasoned county grower John Vincent. “We probably had 27 or 28 entries between pumpkins and squash.” Vincent the Prince Edward County event always draws a large crowd of growers from across eastern Canada because it’s the last one in Canada and many growers try to get every last bit of weight into their entries. This year, it was of particular importance as it was a slow growing season. “It was pretty cold and wet, so our own pumpkins didn’t turn out so well. It was so cold early we couldn’t get the plants big enough fast enough. You need a nice May and then you can deal with the variables in June, July, August, and September,” he said. “It was too wet early on. We almost had fish swimming in our garden May 1.” Asked if it was a particularly tough growing season, Vincent said “It’s never perfect” and mentioned that last year it was so hot and dry that those conditions also posed problems. However, most giant vegetable growers are used to controlling their environment through all the seasons and those who could get their plants into the ground in a controlled greenhouse environment earlier did well. All that said, there wasn’t a record pumpkin at this year’s event. Jim and Kelsey Bryson of Ormstown, Que. who set a world record at Pumpkinfest in 2011 had the heaviest entry again this year at 1,608 lbs. Napanee-area man Dan Clement, who has been growing for three years, placed second with a pumpkin weighing 1,476 lbs. Clement brought two pumpkins to the weigh-off with both estimated to be about the same weight. Since he could only weigh one, he added some excitement for new and veteran growers alike. “His was a bit of a nail biter,” Vincent said. “They were two totally different shapes and he had a whole bunch of growers looking

and tapping them with their fists to see which was heaviest.” As Wellington Rotarians harnessed the big pumpkin on a forklift and drove it to the scale, Vincent had a little fun with him asking if he’d like to weigh the other ones. Clement stuck to his guns and he was right — the difference, a jump from third place to second and a larger share of the prize money. Todd Kline had the biggest squash this year with an entry that tipped the scales at 973.5 lbs. Local grower Susan Jones, of Sophiasburgh, also had a successful first venture at Pumpkinfest as she won an award for the producing the best pumpkin of a novice grower, with her entry reading 538.5 lbs. One thing that was bigger at Pumpkinfest was Carter Black’s watermelon. The Prince Edward County 4-H member from Huff’s Island Road had the biggest one weighed in Canada this year at 152 lbs. Black had six or seven entries in a whole range of competitions at the weigh-off and he also produced a number of giants for the Picton Fair this year. Black farms with his dad Steve,
who is a commercial farmer exhibiting at the Belleville Farmer’s Market. Steve jokes that “Carter’s the giant man, not me.” The 11-year-old grower goes out to his pumpkin and watermelon patch about every second day during the growing season to inspect his crop and see how they’re growing. He said he has a simple recipe for success. “We use a water soluble fertilizer, which helps, special seeds, and lots of luck,” he said. “We also water a lot.” Originally, he didn’t think the effort would produce results. “It took forever for stuff to pollinate,” Steve recalled. “He didn’t think he was going to have anything. The moisture was better this year, but it was so cold it took forever to get going.” Black said he was impressed with his first foray into Pumpkinfest. He enjoyed the chance to talk with other growers and see some of the big fruits and vegetables they’ve grown.

Water pollution, sound concerns raised as turbines loom Residents, experts weigh in on their fears about project’s construction, operation on south shore ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER
The potential impact of construction and noise from the White Pines Wind Project on human health and the natural environment was of prime concern at a rally at the Regent Theatre Sunday. A crowd of more than 200 people learned from scientists studying the impacts of industrial wind projects that there are potential pratfalls ahead should the nineturbine project proceed in South Marysburgh and Athol. Early in the presentation, Wind Concerns Ontario president Jane Wilson discussed a developing legal battle in Chatham-Kent where landowners near an industrial wind project claim they have black water coming from their taps that has mineral and chemical levels exceeding Ontario drinking water standards. The landowners say construction activity at the project site and lowfrequency sound from the turbines has stirred sediments. The developers have rejected that claim. Doug Murphy, a sixth generation farmer whose family has farmed on Murphy Road for 183 years is concerned something similar could happen near his home along the provincially significant Milford Black Creek Valley. He shared details of some of the observations he’s made about
CRACKS AND CREVICES Ecologist Les Stanfield talks about the risks of construction on fractured limestone as Prince Edward-Hastings MPP Todd Smith looks on Sunday. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)
the limestone he farms on. “This area has many crevices ranging from eight inches to a foot wide, 10 feet deep and up to 20 feet long. These crevices extend on our farm, making it an area potentially unstable for construction. I thought these crevices were all over the county — maybe they are,” he said. “On our land, you’ll see a crack in the ground a foot wide and 20 feet long and you’ll get water running through it. The water will come up a half-mile away somewhere. To the lady who was talking about black water, I can really, really see how
that could happen when you start blasting around these areas.” Les Stanfield has made a living of studying water. A retired fish habitat specialist with the Ministry of Natural Resources, Stanfield developed Ontario’s stream assessment protocol and led the development of the Flowing Waters Information System. Recently, he was called as a geophysical expert in the Environmental Review Tribunal hearings about a wind project on Amherst Island. Stanfield added weight to Murphy’s concerns. “It’s about water. The wells of
anyone living close to the South Marysburgh wind turbines are at risk. They’re at serious risk of either drying up, becoming sour, becoming blackened or becoming poisoned with contaminants that will occur as a result of this project,” he said. “Further, the adjacent wetlands the Blanding’s turtles require and other habitats are at risk.” Stanfield explained that sinkholes like those Murphy described are found all over South Marysburgh because it is made up of karst, a fractured type of limestone. “It’s unstable and it’s laying over a deep bedrock of granite. The terrain is also fairly flat, which means that there will be problems with water transport over the surface area.” He later continued the rock is like a jigsaw puzzle on top of bedrock that floats. He said those who have dug for a post on their property know about that movement. If it is blasted, pounded or shaken during construction, or impacted by infrasound during operation there will be impacts. “This will loosen the rocks and mobilize the fine materials that fill the cracks. Since water travels along the path of least resistance, underground and surface paths are sure to change.”

That includes 111 bottle caps, 30 foam cups, 24 beverage cans, 10 plastic bottles, 24 foam plates and 13 beer cans. “It was not just a day at the beach for them,” Vader added.
“It was a lot of work with so much that needed to be cleaned up but with so many of us it is it made it easier to do the job.It was fulfilling to help out especially since that beach was closed all summer,” Grade 9 student Gracie Burris said.
“Going to sandbanks gave us the opportunity to give back in our community and help preserve such a wonderful place in Prince Edward County,” added Grade 10 Panther Emily Kraemer. Collection totals for Saturday's public event had yet to be tallied.

PUMPKINFEST, from page 9
Bob Greer, who continues the popular event his father Bill started in the village said he was pleased to see the response Pumpkinfest garnered from the community this year as the rainy, windy weather held off for much of the day. “A lot of people put their own time and money and effort into making this event happen and, you know, I keep looking at the pumpkins — every year they keep getting bigger and I don’t really get it, and I keep looking at
the crowd and every year it gets bigger and I don’t get it but it’s an interesting group,” he said. “I just like to watch the people… they’re saying hello to friends and neighbours and welcoming new people into the area and I guess people just need that feeling of community to come and do your own thing and add your own flavour to the event.” The flavour included a variety of taste experiences including a Middle Eastern sampling experience presented by PEC Syria, the traditional chicken and biscuits luncheon at
Wellington United Church, and a Great Pumpkin cask beer release at the Midtown Brewing Company. A pumpkin pie contest at the Drake Devonshire Inn and a cook-off at the Wellington Legion were also highlights. Around the village, guests enjoyed craft sales, bake sales, and book sales at several locations, while children had the opportunity to climb walls, play games, and enjoy a petting zoo. The Grass Hogs also offered thrilling lawn tractor races late in the day before pub nights drew a full day of events to a close.

Lockyer launches new series of vignettes on seniors’ role in pioneer society ANNIVERSARY, from page 2
“That demographic trend is likely to continue over the coming years as baby boomers and Prince Edward County is an attractive place for seniors to retire given the natural beauty and number of activities available to older adults,” Quaiff said. “We want to continue to enhance the county as an age-friendly place, a place where seniors can move freely and safely, enjoy good health and stay involved.” Quaiff said the municipality can encourage an age friendly community through a variety policies and services but “we can't do it alone.” He said the wide range of services the organization provides to older adults is impressive and those services allow older people the opportunity to live independently and contribute to all areas of this wonderful community. Paul Huras, the executive director of the South East Local Health Integration Network, harkened back to the early days of his organization and recalled a series meetings with MacDonald Moynes and a host of other support service providers as the local LHIN started to ramp up as overseers of health care in the region. Huras remarked at the seamless way in which MacDonald Moynes was able to communicate with those leaders and bring them together to help understand the roles each would play in the new dynamic of Ontario health and services rollouts. In a very quiet way, but In a very clear way , she was provid-
ing leadership to the concept of community support services,” Huras recalled. “You should be proud of that role as well as the services that are provided in this community.” As for the early day of Community Care, former staff member of the Ministry of Community and Social Services’ senior citizens branch Dick Flemming recalled meeting with MacDonald Moynes in someone’s kitchen and took up from Huras' comments about the passion and leadership exuded from Day 1 of her 36-year tenure. “I met Debbie, here was a person that was very direct. here was a person that was very determined. Those qualities and many others characterize her work with you and also the determination of the people in Prince Edward County to continue to support this

edge – farming and fishing practices, weather patterns, food preservation, traditional medical treatments, faith and family history,” Lockyer said. “Seniors guided their families and communities through the everyday hardships of pioneer life. They passed on timeless skills of persistence, optimism, thrift, hard work and resourcefulness…. harnessing the collective capacities of their neighbours to clear land, harvest crops, build homes, barns, churches and roads.” Seniors valued education at a time when illiteracy was widespread, he said. “Most of all, they believed in the great promise of the country we enjoy today. These were gifts to last.” Gifts to last in the same way Community Care for Seniors is a gift to Prince Edward County.

History Lives Here vignettes and a Community Care promotional video featuring the faces of many of the organization's volunteers, clients and support staff. Local historian, documentarian and journalist Peter Lockyer of History Lives Here debuted his vignettes about the role seniors had in the early pioneer days as well as a two minute spot the grandfather of the Ontario Cider Industry the late Grant Howes. In his pioneer vignette, Lockyer explained the average lifespan in the 1840s was 50 and even less for women, who often died due giving birth and in an age where success was measured by survival, seniors remained valued members of close-knit families and communities. “A lifetime of experience forged wisdom – and seniors were the custodians of critical knowl-

Picton’s four-game winning streak includes first regular season win over Panthers since 2015
Pirates power play connects four times to beat Port Hope CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER
It was a big week for the Picton Pirates, who have now collected four wins in a row, including a 5–2 road victory over the Port Hope Panthers. The Pirates took a big 6–1 victory over Gananoque on Thursday night before handing the Panthers just their second loss of the season in nine games on Saturday. The team followed up with a 7–5 win over the Islanders on Sunday night. Pirates coach Chris Masterson said the team is feeling positive about their 6-3-0-0 start to the season, but knows there are still improvements to be made. “We know we still have a lot of work to do, there are things we need to tighten up — consistency of effort is the biggest thing,” he said. “But, overall, we're happy with our 6-3 start.” Picton didn't waste any time getting on the board on Thursday. With Gananoque's Josh Kurish in the box for interference at the 4:23 mark, the Pirates headed to man
advantage. Less than a minute later, Justin Arnold collected the puck down low after a wide shot and tucked it between the post and Islanders goaltender Josh Rowden's skate. The 1–0 advantage held through the majority of the frame as the Pirates hemmed the Islanders in their own zone for prolonged stretches. With less than three minutes left in the period, Jaydon Wood's solo effort made it 2–0 for Picton when he drove to the front of the Islanders' net and buried a backhand. The Pirates looked to take a stranglehold on the game in the second. Just 1:18 into the frame, Jordon Cannons made it 3–0, but a quick response from Kurish came at the 2:59 mark to cut the lead back to two. Noah Brant got the goal back 13:36 into the period and the Pirates took the 4–1 lead into the third. Devin Morrison and Keegan Wayte would round out the scoring in the final frame.

Dukes take points in 11 straight games Wellington beats Mississauga, Aurora, and Cobourg JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER
Given that the Wellington Dukes lost exactly one game in the 20022003 regular season, it's safe to say that the start enjoyed by the current formation of the county's Junior A hockey isn't their best ever. But best start in the last decade? Well, pretty close. The Wellington Dukes opened the 2010-2011 season with just one regulation loss in their first 16 games, a year where the club would taste defeat in regulation just seven times. A pretty great start for a team that wouldn't do much expect rack up 81 points and play in the Royal Bank Cup in Canmore after winning both the Buckland and Dudley Hewitt Cups that spring. Of course county hockey watchers should pump the brakes a little on the expectations of the current team, given their relative age and experience. But here's where the rubber meets the road with these Wellington Dukes after a weekend where they took all six points available. On Friday night with the game tied 0-0 in the late and the visiting Mississauga Chargers seemingly one bounce away from a fluke win, you would have been forgiven for thinking that was the time the some of the air would be let of Wellington's tires. On Saturday night and taking on the North Division-leading Aurora Tigers when the club's bus breaks down and the team arrives at the Aurora Community Centre just as warm up was starting, you would have been forgiven for thinking that was time Wellington was about to take it on the chin. On Monday night, facing a scrappy and resolved Cobourg Cougars and down 2-0 after two in a hostile rink, you would have been forgiven for thinking that the ride of taking points in 10 straight was over. But no, Wellington (10-1-5) did what Wellington hockey teams used to on a rather frequent basis not too long ago. They stuck to a game plan, wouldn't let things like bad calls

and bad bounces beat them and earned the wins they deserved. “Overall, the goal was six points and we got those six points,” Dukes coach and general manager Ryan Woodward said. “You break down each game and you see where we need to be better but the signs to battle back and show some character through adversity are very positive.” Their 4-3 triumph in Cobourg was proof positive this team comes to play and can win in any number of fashions. Down a pair, Graeme McCrory's work in the offensive zone paved the way for Mitch Martan's seventh of the year at 5:13 and the goal provided some

lift for Wellington. “It's our third game in four nights and I thought we had some really good chances early but then we lacked energy part way through the game,” Woodward said “In the third, our veterans stepped up and you could feel that momentum start to switch to us.” After jumbling the lines to get the club stirred up, team captain Colin Doyle was united with Ben Evans and the Campbellford native set up Evans less than 40 seconds after Martan's goal to tie it 2-2. Mitchell Mendonca has been one of the club's top performers at both ends of the ice for the past month and continued that trend,
setting up Doyle for a go ahead goal at 13:11. Mendonca would wind up getting the game winner on an empty netter with 16 seconds left as the Cougars scored a pretty meaningless goal with less than a second remaining to finalize the scoring at 4-3. On Saturday, not even a delay due to a broken down bus could stop Wellington. Even without a proper warm up, the Dukes came out firing and it was Andrew Rinaldi scoring just seven seconds into the contest off an Evans cross ice feed to give Wellington its earliest lead of the season. “Looking back, it might have been the best thing for us,” Woodward said with a laugh. “We didn't have too much time to think about it. We were looking at that game as a real test for us.” Aurora would tie it later in the first on the power play but Wellington would move ahead to stay in the second. Evans found Eric Uba at the side of the net for the game winner at 4:33 and then spotted Mendonca for his third straight helper at 16:09. Evans added his fourth straight assist in the third period off Keegan Ferguson's point blast at 13:03. “There's certainly a lot of chemistry there with Evans and Rinaldi and Mendonca,” Woodward said of Wellington's top production line this weekend. “Evans and Rinaldi play heavy and straight games and that gives Mendonca some room to operate, see the ice and make plays.” Making plays was exactly what Mendonca did with Martan on Friday night to stop the goaltending clinic being put on by Mississauga Charger Luca Durante. Channelling his older brother Stefano Durante who always seemed to save his best games for when his Cobourg Cougars would invade the Essroc Arena, Luca Durante had the Wellington shooters under his spell for well over 40 minutes. Highlight reel saves came in waves as the clubs remained deadlocked at 0-0 until the 46th minute.

Atom Kings knock off hosts to claim title at Orr tournament in Parry Sound Hostile crowd adds to pressure in close final game JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER
The atoms of Prince Edward County were crowned Kings in Cottage Country this weekend. The Terpstra Equipment Atom BB Kings were the ultimate heartbreakers at the annual Bobby Orr Classic Hockey Tournament in Parry Sound, going undefeated through the preliminaries and knocking off the host club Parry Sound Shamrocks in the championship final Sunday afternoon 1-0. It was the first major tournament win for a team representing the Prince Edward County Minor Hockey Association this season and was well earned according to Kings bench boss Tod Lavender. “It really was. We were happy with the way everyone played and battled hard having only played a few games thus far into our season,” Lavender said. Facing the Shamrocks in front of a raucous and partisan crowd at the Bobby Orr Community Centre was no easy task considering the hosts were undefeated in their season heading into the final “There was some adversity and stage fright I'm sure but we responded well,” Lavender said. The netminders were the stars of the show through most of the game with both Kings netminder Lainey Van Vlack and Shamrocks puckstopper Brian Plomer pitching shutouts late into the game.
Finally, Plomer blinked. The Kings were able to force a turnover in the Shamrock end and the puck found the stick of Mitchell Sills. Sills was able to cut across the slot area and lift a backhanded effort over the blocker of Plomer with about three and half minutes left in the game. That goal came after the Kings had about five or six Grade A scoring chances and were heavily testing the Shamrocks. “We did a really great job of keeping them out of the danger zones, and Lainey saw the puck all game,” Lavender added. “There was not a lot of secondary chances and that's a credit to the work of Tyler Doolan, Theo Lavender, Cameron Billing and Will Theakston on our blue line.” The Kings found themselves in the final thanks to a 3-2 semifinal win over the Elmvale Coyotes. The Kings were down a goal early until Jackson Payne tied the contest. In the late going, it would Sills notching a pair of goals in the span of about ten seconds to punch Prince Edward County's ticket to the finals. Hayden Bender had an assist on the eventual game winning goal as Elmvale scored with a second left to finalize the scoring at 32 in favour of the Kings. It was a great weekend for the Kings and a fine way to kick off the 2017-2018 OMHA season.

“I think we bonded as a team and I'm sure when the players look back on this tournament they will remember playing in a hostile environment for a championship and coming out on top,” Lavender added. And it wasn't just the Shamrock fans the Kings had to deal with in Parry Sound. “We saw two bear cubs and a momma bear in the arena parking lot and no one got ate so, overall, it was a pretty good weekend,” Lavender said with a laugh. The Kings’ next home game is in Wellington Sunday as they play the Douro Dukes at 4:30 p.m.

Masterson said it was one of the team's best games of the season. “The passing was bang on, every player was moving their feet,” he said. “We played a really quick, up-tempo game — we definitely came out flying and I was happy with our performance.” The Pirates faced a significant test in the Panthers on Saturday night. Port Hope opened the scoring 7:24 into the frame on an Andrew Gurr goal. At 12:28, the Pirates were given an opportunity to tie things up on the power play with Port Hope's Graham Dickerson in the box for holding. On the ensuing power-play opportunity, Arnold connected on a play from Cannons and Nick Kyte to even the score. Less than four minutes later, Will Harrison gave Picton the go-ahead goal with Bailey Matthews and Gerald Bilker notching assists. The Panthers held a 13-8 shot advantage but went into the second period down by a goal. The Pirates continued their strong game in the second period, outshooting Port Hope 12-9. Cannons scored the club's second power-play goal of the night midway through the frame with Matthew Scott and Nick Hoey picking up assists. The hot Picton power play continued to work magic, making it 4–1 with a Hoey goal at the 11:54 mark. Kyte and Arnold had the assists. The Pirates carried the three-goal advantage into the third. “We had a really strong second period in Port Hope,” Masterson said. The Pirates tallied their fourth power-play goal early in the third with Arnold connecting on a play from Kyte and Cannons. Port Hope finally responded with a Dayton Kent goal at the 13:18 mark of the third, but that was all the offense they would muster. Pirates goaltender Aaron Young stood tall in the win, stopping 37 of 39 shots. It was the first time Picton had beaten Port Hope in 18 regular season meetings. Masterson said the Picton power-play has been clicking at rate exceeding 30 per cent. He said it was the Pirates' key to victory on Saturday night and the unit of Hoey, Cannons, and Arnold seems to be gelling well. “The third period (Port Hope) came out flying and pushed back on us a little bit, but we knew that was coming,” Masterson said. “We managed to weather that storm.” It was a blowout that turned into a close contest on Sunday. Coming off an emotional win on Saturday, Masterson said team officials expected an up-anddown game. Gananoque's Aiden Foley opened the scoring at 11:42 of the first, but the Pirates had some jump and Cannons tied things up just a minute later. The Pirates continued to pepper the Gananoque net, but were held at bay by Rowden. The Pirates finally took the lead with Hoey scoring a power-play goal with 28 seconds left in the period. Arnold had the assist. It was all Picton in the second. Matthews made it 3–1 just 52 seconds into the period. Cannons

William (Bill) Burt
born April 7 1946, passed away on Monday October 16 after a long struggle with cancer. Bill is survived by his partner Judith Thomas, his two sons, Geoffrey and Stephen, and his granddaughter Iris. He grew up in New Jersey with his brothers David and Donald and parents Ruth and Clifton. He moved to Toronto soon after graduating from Amherst College. Bill was a successful stock broker and investor, managing to retire in 1988 at age 42. Investing was one of his life’s passions - he continued to actively trade the stock market until the day he died. His success as an investor allowed him to establish a major philanthropic foundation and become a patron of the literary arts through the creation of the Burt Awards for African, Caribbean, and First Nations, Inuit and Métis Literature. As well as rewarding deserving authors around the world, his generosity put tens of thousands of culturally relevant books into the hands of young adults. For the last 30 years, he spent as much time as he could on his farm in Prince Edward County. Before his cancer diagnosis, Bill could often be found swimming across and biking around Consecon Lake, or walking and skiing in the woods on his property. He was an intrepid and adventuresome traveler, visiting over 60 countries in his life. Bill will be remembered by those who knew him for his brilliant mind, worth ethic, honesty and for the courage he showed at the end of his life, throughout his ordeal with cancer. He will be missed by his family and his many friends and business associates in Toronto, Midland and Prince Edward County. A funeral service will be held at Mt. Pleasant Cemetery’s Funeral Centre (375 Mt. Pleasant Road, Toronto), at 11:00am on Sunday October 22, followed by a reception. As per his wishes, Bill’s body was donated to medical science. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to CODE (www.code.ngo), the charity which manages the Burt Literary Awards.

Speakers argue cancellation would save government money RALLY, from page 1
“People out there still think this is about the merits of green energy. This isn’t about the merits of green energy. Green energy is great if it’s in the right place, at the right time, at an affordable rate. This is anything but that.” He explained Ontario has an oversupply of energy and the Ontario Society of Professional Engineers believe last year the province wasted $1 billion of clean, green, reliable and cheap energy because it gave priority to expensive subsidized wind and solar companies, some being paid a guaranteed 13.5 cents a kilowatt hour to supply the power grid. “We’re letting four cents a kilowatt hour spill over our hydro electric dams so we can pay more for wind and solar. That’s enough to power every residential home in Toronto for an entire year. It’s enough to take every customer on the Ottawa grid — industrial included off the grid for an entire year,” he said. “This is the biggest con job in Canadian history, the Green Energy Act.” He concluded by saying the wind opponents need just a bit more time, either to allow various judicial challenges to work through the system (the Alliance to Protect Prince Edward County has challenged the validity of wpd’s contract in a case that will be heard Nov. 17, while the County Coalition for Safe, Appropriate Green Energy has challenged the Green Energy Act on grounds it discriminates against rural residents) or to allow a new government to come in and cancel proj-

ects before big penalties occur (though if the IESO gives companies like wpd notices to proceed with projects, the penalties would become more difficult to pay). Mayor Robert Quaiff also criticized the province for not moving to cancel the project or amend the Green Energy Act. He said former energy minister Bob Chiarelli once told him to state the municipality doesn’t want turbines and they’d be listened to. An announcement never came. While acknowledging efforts of local groups fighting industrial wind projects, Quaiff said many municipal efforts have been “stonewalled” but said he has no plans to give up or accept anything less than a total victory. “It’s still in the back of my

mind and in my heart to do everything in my power to get this project killed, “he said. “We have to be 100 per cent successful. Nothing else will do. It’s still not acceptable. They need to be cancelled.” The mayor said there’s no financial sustainability in the project as it currently stands and the power from the proposed nine turbines is inconsequential — yet, it could kill the gem the county is. Quaiff said he thought wpd was acting out of spite.
“We’re dealing with Mickey Mouse here. Nine turbines? Give me a break.” To cheers, Quaiff said he’d continue the fight, even in the face of recent threats of legal action council faced after not immediately approving permits for wpd’s construction activities. “You know what I say? Bring it. If you want legal action, bring it, because I’m not going to waiver and I’m not going to stop.” South Marysburgh councillor Steve Ferguson, one of the organizers of the rally, was pleased with the day. “I’m a big believer in go big or go home. This is pretty big,” Ferguson said in his introductory remarks. He said he wanted to be sure people were aware the project is slated to go ahead and it could impact people for all of its two-decade lifespan. “We have to demonstrate to the public at large, including elsewhere in Ontario, how resistant this community is to the intrusion of industrial wind turbines into its midst. In my mind, it is better to have demonstrated our concerns too many times than to hear after the fact we should have tried harder.” It was suggested during the rally that a logical next step would be a bus trip to Queen’s Park.

Stanfield suggests South Marysburgh members could start collective water testing program EFFECTS, from page 11
Stanfield did acknowledge the question of whether karst topography exists in South Marysburgh did come up in an Environmental Review Tribunal hearing and said opponents werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to prove serious and irreversible harm due to water alterations because very little study or mapping has been done to detail the sensitivity of the landscape to water disturbances. Nonetheless, he believes the area should have been identified as an unsafe place for turbines at the start of the site selection process and accused bureaucrats of â&#x20AC;&#x153;bending to the political dogma of the Green Energy Act.â&#x20AC;? Further, Stanfield warned that since South Marysburgh is outside of Quinte Conservationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s source water protection area, there is little protection provided. To meet the potential problem, Stanfield recommended a group water monitoring plan.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;What would I do as a land owner? The first thing I would do is start to sample your water and have a detailed analysis done for metals and turbidity. That is complicated. I believe a good offence is always a strong defence. I think we should get organized to get a co-ordinated water testing program going.â&#x20AC;? Dr. Robert McMurtry, a former dean of health at the University of Western Ontario and an advisor to the Romanow commission on Canadian health care, focuses his research on the human health impacts of low-frequency noise associated with the projects. He said adverse effects are well known, but instead people are dealing â&#x20AC;&#x153;in a world of letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretend.â&#x20AC;? It has been said there arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t adverse health impacts, those impacts havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been defined or havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been studied. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an argument that has been carried on seriously and at great cost by highly paid legal
counsel and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done all over the world. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been remarkably effective at this point,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The facts of the matter is there are adverse effects and everybody knows it. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why there are setbacks in the first place.â&#x20AC;? McMurtry argued that while Ontario has regulations in place, people are still getting sick. A prime reason, he said, is the pulsive sound. The doctor instructed his audience that if they put a finger in their hand and left it still, they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel it after a while. If they take that same finger and change it or rub it against the hand, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll notice. The change is key. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the same concept with amplitude modulation or the â&#x20AC;&#x153;whoosh, whoosh, whooshâ&#x20AC;? of a turbine blade. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The variable gets your attention,â&#x20AC;? he said, likening it to sitting next to a car with a subwoofer and people can feel the bass vibrating in their chest.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more than just a sound, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the physical nature of low-frequency sound. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been demonstrated.â&#x20AC;? McMurtry said it has been shown a significant number of people are affected or â&#x20AC;&#x153;highly annoyedâ&#x20AC;? which relates to stress and disturbance. Recently, he said some advancements have brought hope. A Swedish team has replicated the modulation of turbine noise in a lab. Study volunteers exhibited sleep disturbance and stress. Follow-up studies of people forced to abandon their homes have also been proposed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Guess what, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m optimistic. The truth has power,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can do this. I really believe we can overcome.â&#x20AC;? Murphy is also concerned about shadow flicker on his home. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s used a calculator provided by a Danish wind industry association to map the co-ordinates of his home and Turbine

No. 4 in the project. The sun sets from April to September behind that turbine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I experience motion sickness. This affects my health,â&#x20AC;? he said. Murphy said he hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t received any satisfactory answers while expressing his concerns. Wilson said he likely wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t receive a response after construction either. Through the Freedom of Information Act, Wind Concerns Ontario requested through Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s privacy commissioner all complaints the Ministry of Environment received between 2006 through 2014 regarding noise and other effects from wind turbines. Some 3,200 reports of noise, vibration, and other effects were turned over. Of those reports, more than 50 per cent received no response from the government, Wilson said. Some 31 per cent got a â&#x20AC;&#x153;planned responseâ&#x20AC;? and another 14 per cent a â&#x20AC;&#x153;deferred response.â&#x20AC;? Only one per cent of the thousands of reports were labelled a priority, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The process is deeply flawedâ&#x20AC;Ś There is no acknowledgement, even today, of a problem. There is no learning from these experiences, and no resolution of the problems.â&#x20AC;? When asked what people could do to protect human health, panelists held up the idea of water sampling and the possibility of using noise monitoring technology to document potential
impacts. One audience member asked McMurtry if a baseline health assessment was wise. He thought it was. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In a word, yes. Be sure to monitor your blood pressure.â&#x20AC;? McMurtry added that the Wind Concerns Ontario web site is one of the best resources for peerreviewed health-related articles. Turbine opponents also continued arguing the project will devastate nature. Several speakers spoke about how turtles are still travelling around the project area with the warm weather. Cheryl Anderson, a past-president of the Prince Edward County Field Naturalists and the Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory is also worried the county might soon be home to a terrible sight with birds killed. She spoke of a video of an eagle nest being destroyed in southern Ontario. Just last week, Anderson said she spotted two juvenile bald eagles on the south shore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m afraid weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to experience a similar horrible story here in the county when young eagles encounter 50-storey turbines on their way from their nesting site near Big Island to South Bay,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Evidence of raptor migration was presented to two ERT tribunals but they failed to see the danger. It makes me shake my head in disbelief. I have to ask why the Endangered Species Act exists if it is continuously ignored.â&#x20AC;?

Panthers make statement in win over Chargers Seniors take unbeaten record into showdown with St. Theresa Oct. 25 ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER
Once again, the PECI Senior Basketball Panthers and St. Theresa Titans appear on a collision course for Bay of Quinte Conference supremacy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and twice in the next week, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a chance to size one another up. Following a pair of wins over Centennial and Quinte in the past week, the Panthers are 6-0 in regular season play. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re scheduled to face the Titans this weekend at Nicholsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Crusader Classic, then again for real next Wednesday at home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big game,â&#x20AC;? said coach Rob Garden. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That will be for first place and home-court advantage throughout the playoffs.â&#x20AC;? To put themselves in that position, the Panthers had to make a statement against another one of the better teams in the league last Thursday. They did so in decisive fashion, beating the Chargers 62-33. The Panthers doubled their opponentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; output in the first half and cruised to a win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was our best game of the year, for sure,â&#x20AC;? said Garden afterward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I said to them after the game that was the first time we put together four full quarters both offensively and defensively. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any mental mistakes and every single player contributed, which

weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been waiting for. I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got to be what we have going forward.â&#x20AC;? The coach said he thought his team played tough, not giving an inch to the frustrated Chargers in an intense affair. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good because he sees as a top-four contender with Centre Hastings, who beat St. Theresa last week, and the Titans. One player who has exemplified toughness is Abby Margetson. The forward made her first start as a senior against Centennial. A player who might have been described as tentative in past years, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s come into her own in the post. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She earned the start tonight,â&#x20AC;? Garden said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scoring the ball and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got confidence to demand the ball. The have the combination of her, Lydia (Snider), and Alan-
nah (Burris) weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re able to rotate them through and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something no other team has. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re definitely happy with Abbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s progress and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more to come from her.â&#x20AC;? Scoring came off the rush, too, making the Panthers difficult to stop. Vanessa Willis and Chloe Marshall led scoring with 12 points apiece. All 11 players got points with Emma Lamorre being the next highest contributor with five. Centennialâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mackenzie Bennett replied with 16 in the loss, while Anne
Davidson put up eight. Garden said he felt the Panthers are starting to really find themselves as the stretch run beckons with three games before playoffs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really starting to get a sense of purpose and looking ahead to what they want to accomplish. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been a team without any real identity for the first half of the season, maybe due to the fact weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not practicing as much,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re starting to take that on themselves. This is their game. They wanted to come out and send a message to the rest of the league that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the top team â&#x20AC;&#x201D; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the team to beat. I think they did that.â&#x20AC;? At Quinte Monday, the Panthers did little to dispel that notion winning 62-16. This time, it was Sniderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big game under the basket as she scored 16 points on the Saints. Margetson also hit double digits with a 10point game. Courtney Bolch led Quinte with five. The Panthers play the Kingston Collegiate Blues at 3 p.m. Friday at St. Theresa to open tournament play, then head to St. Theresa for a 6:30 p.m. tip with the host Titans. On Saturday, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be at Nicholson for an 11 a.m. start against Peterboroughâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s I.E. Weldon Wildcats.

Abrams visits Camp gives children a chance to be themselves Essroc Arena TOUR, from page 5 Deep into a three-year treatment this Sunday plan, Heffernan spoke from the DUKES, from page 22

After some sustained pressure in the Charger zone where the visitors finally seemed ready to crack, it would be a nice move by Martan in the slot that drew the attention of Durante. Receiving a nice cross-crease pass was Mendonca who had nothing else but to shovel a loose puck into a gaping Mississauga cage. “We really had to stick with the game plan and stay focussed,” Woodward said. “There can be a tendency to try and get too cute in situations like that but Mendonca and Martan went to the tough and dirty areas to make that goal happen.” It was enough to stand up a winner as Jonah Capriotti made 17 saves to earn his second shutout in just the Mount Hope native's sixth start. Capriotti won his seventh start of the season on Saturday and is 6-0-1 with a 1.81 goals against average and a .944 save percentage. Creed Jones picked up the win on Monday night, his second of the campaign. The Dukes host Pickering on Friday night and Marty Abrams and his Trenton Golden Hawks make their first trip to Wellington on Sunday afternoon.
experience one can only have when they've bravely stared cancer down. She said battling cancer is like walking unexpectedly into a shoot off and having nothing, except optimism, to help you fight. "Within the past two years, I've been bombarded with tons of new information, new faces, and medical language I couldn’t begin to understand," Heffernan said. "I’ve spent 300-plus days admitted in hospital, and within those days, I’ve met some of the strongest kids, who, some, are now The most beautiful angels." Coming to grips with the limitations forced by the disease and growing up too fast are just some of the difficult aspects children fighting cancer endure and that's why Heffernan was happy to see her school support the GWUL tour and Camp Trillium Wednesday. "Being at camp gives kids a chance to be themselves, and be accepted for who they are, not what they're going through. Camp gives children back their identity that was once taken when they were diagnosed. “Because that's how it feels-as if you're no longer yourself anymore. Going through this experience, truly has changed me as an individual and taught me so much as a person," she added. Looking ahead to next fall, Heffernan will be wrapping up her three-year treatment plan.

"But that doesn’t mean this fight will no longer be part of who I am. “This fight has taught me that good, or bad, nothing lasts forever, anything you’re going through has to come to some sort of an end," she said. Also on hand Wednesday to offer students a glimpse via video presentation of some of the activities at Camp Trillium was manager of special events Carrie Arnold. Bringing families back from the brink after diagnosis and treatment and reuniting them through summer time leisure is the goal of the organization.
“It’s not just the patient that struggles, it’s the entire family life that suffers during diagnosis and treatment,” Arnold said. “Camp Trillium is about fun, community, trying new experiences, making new friends and bring the families back together.” Arnold thanked the students assembled Wednesday, group which included elementary school children from nearby Queen Elizabeth. “You are bringing families back together and you are giving the resources they need to fight the fight and get through it,” she said.
