A new council will decide whether to move ahead with the Picton splash pad project. Following a presentation from the splash pad committee last week, councillors voted to have staff bring forward an updated report on the project to a committee-of-the-whole meeting in January. Splash pad committee members Susan Quaiff, Phil St. Jean, Ryan Aldred, and Scott Wentworth presented an updated splash pad plan to councillors last Thursday. The splash pad committee is proposing to fundraise the estimated $250,000 cost of the project and is looking for the municipality to take on the ongoing operation costs for the project, which are estimated at $30,000 per year or less. Wentworth gave an overview of what the project could look like and where the committee members would like to place it. The proposal is to build the attraction behind the skate park and between the existing clubhouse and quonset hut. “The location we're proposing is really a bit of an unused area within the fairgrounds right now,” said Wentworth. “… We're simply realigning the fence line that runs from the corner of the clubhouse now over to the quonset hut.” Wentworth said the splash pad would use very efficient water fixtures which would run in groups and on timers to further conserve water. “We would propose a system that's very efficient in its usage and very creative in the way everything comes on,” he said. The proposal calls for free flow water system to be used over a recirculating water system. Aldred said the recirculating systems not only cost more to purchase, but also can be more dangerous if not properly maintained.

A proposed expansion at Sandbanks could create 75 new recreational vehicle camping spaces at the provincial park. WSP Group engineer Mark Routhier outlined the plan for councillors at last week's committee-of-thewhole meeting. Speaking on behalf of Ontario Parks' John Hagsma, Routhier said the plan would see the construction of a new 75-space RV campground on the west side of Sandbanks Provincial Park, adjacent to the Dunes Beach day-use area. “This was identified under the Sandbanks management plan in 1993,” said Routhier. “This has been designated for future development for the past 11 years.” Routhier said the park currently operates at full capacity for overnight camping. He said aside from increasing the number of available overnight spaces, the plan would allow the park to relocate some of its administration traffic from the main gate to the west access. The new campground would feature a comfort station, vault toilets, a new gate and office, internal roads, parking lots, trailer sanitation station and connector pedestrian/bike trails. The plan calls for the creation of a new entrance to the park on County Rd. 12 directly across from the Dunes day use area. Ontario Parks is proposing a roundabout at the location of the new entrance. “This will probably balance a bit of the traffic between the two access areas,” said Routhier. Engineering, development, and works commissioner Robert McAuley said the roundabout proposal will have to be evaluated in the future. “They have had some pre-consultation with us on the details around the roundabout,” McAuley said. “Conceptually it has some merits as far as managing the traffic going into the site, but the details of that are still to be vetted by us.”

Winegrowers pleased with their first Taste of organizing fall food and drink celebration Annual festival pared down to focus on local producers, restaurants Jason Parks

Staff writer

Can a community celebration of wine and food taste just as good when organized by another group? Well, after this weekend, the answer is a resounding yes. The concept of the Taste Community Grown event is not new and the early fall test drive wine and dine has been taking place at the Crystal Palace for 13 years. What was new this year

was the organizing body. The Prince Edward County Winegrowers Association picked up the Taste torch from the failing hands of the now defunct Taste The County marketing organization. Over 1,500 paid to enter the grounds Saturday to check out Prince Edward County's best wines and culinary creations. Surely the sun soaked skies had something to do with the buzz being generated as connoisseurs from as far away as Ottawa and

Toronto sipped and satiated their palate. Chair of PECWA Lynn Sullivan said in its first go around with the group, Taste Community Grown 2014 was an unplugged and pared down version of previous celebrations that strictly focused on local produce, wines and restaurants. “We really wanted to integrate farmers and not have them relegated to the sidelines,� Sullivan explained. “This year, tasters could purchase goods including wine for the first time.� New Ontario legislation allows wineries to sell its product at festivals and markets and while allowing visitors to purchase the vintages they were tasting took a little “organizational maneuverings,� it helped make this event special for the Wine Growers participating. “The new legislation can be a little difficult to navigate but we work closely with the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario and all parties were pleased,� Sullivan said. That included Three Dog Winery owner John Squair who was busy promoting his 2013 Riesling as the perfect compliment to the nearby East & Main creation of delectable shrimp and lobster grilled buffalo cheese

sandwiches. “Being able to sell has been phenomenal, it opens it up so people can now buy a bottle and go back to their B&B or whatever accommodation and enjoy it as opposed to leaving here, going to the LCBO and having choices from Spain and Australia,� Squair said. “This is wonderful to put our Prince Edward County product out there and into the consumer's hands directly,� Elsewhere in the Crystal Palace Saturday, perhaps the ideal place to start a culinary tour was at the PicnicPEC stand where Rebecca Hunt and Trish Cook had ditched their recognizable pink food truck (for one day) to serve up falafel with kale salad. “I think people have been impressed with great tasting food that's good for you,� Hunt said.

Chef Lili Sullivan went back to her Serbian roots with a lamb, pork and veal creation called Cevapchichi and the meat kabob is served with a sauce called ajvar which is a pepper and eggplant-based condiment. If that wasn't enough, Sullivan also had Reuben waffles which was Montreal Smoked meat on a bite sized rye and caraway waffle served with sauerkraut, thousand islands dressing and a cheese sauce. Indeed, flavours of the world were all settled nicely into the corner of the Picton Fairgrounds. While locals were weren't in great supply, more then a couple of familiar faces were spotted amongst the visiting throngs. “We make a point of coming every year, it's one of our favourite events,� said Picton native Mark Rose. “It's amazing to have this much selection in one place.� An annual tradition for most and, if early returns are an indication, one that PECWA will continue next year. “One of the reasons we took it on was because we wanted to continue the tradition,� Lynn Sullivan said. “It could have disappeared or been outsourced...like any live event there's always tweaking and examination after the fact but we have a successful first year under our belt and we are happy with it.�

The late September event usually offers a chance to test drive parkas and get the body acclimated to the bitter weather about to come but a sun splashed weekend warmly greeted Fair goers this weekend as they checked various exhibits, livestock shows, displays, concerts, agricultural entries and art work. As the softball diamond, the annual mixed slo-pitch tournament was in full swing and, as always, Jessica Bell presented O Canada! Twice — first in English, and then, completely en Francais. Equal helpings of tradition, community and pleasant weather made Ameliasburgh, as columnist and publisher Steve Campbell said in song, “A darn fine place to be.� Campbell, a former Gazette staffer and now publisher of The County Magazine, opened the fair as special guest with his trade mark sense of humour that is digestible only to those that have lived in this island community for a certain period of time. “If you have read anything I write you know I'm very big on sense of community and the Ameliasburgh Fair is a perfect example of that kind of thing.� Campbell said. “It brings the community together.

Macaulay Heritage Park hosts ROM’s travelling planetarium this week Exhibit brings guests to County museum to learn about the stars

STARRY ATTRACTION The Royal Ontario Museum’s Star Lab exhibit is inside Macaulay Museum this week. The inflatable dome simulates the black of night and allows for projections of constellations on its ceiling. (Diane Denyes-Wenn/For The Gazette)

The head curator of the Prince Edward County museums is hoping the night sky will draw hundreds of visitors indoors this week at Macaulay Heritage Park. That isn't a typographical error. Jennifer Lyons isn't looking to provide shelter from cool or even stormy fall nights, but instead, she's promoting a new travelling exhibition from the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) called

Thus far, the exhibit has proved to be a huge success. Lyons said on its first day, Monday, Macaulay Park opened its doors to 120 students during the daytime hours. Classes from as far away as Tweed, Madoc, Frankford, and Tyendinaga booked to attend as well as those from county schools. Lyons indicated the school program has also been a great way to showcase the museum's regular county exhibits and introduce some new guests to the history of the area. "With such large crowds, we've been able to divide the students into rotations to visit different areas. That includes a house tour and outdoor activities as well." The exhibit will be open to the general public evenings until Sunday with a modest admission price of $5. On weekdays, there is one show at 7 p.m. and on the weekends, there are two shows at 4 p.m. and at 7 p.m. Lyons said the exhibit can accommodate about 25 people at a time and it is first-come, first-serve, so there is not an opportunity to book in advance. According to Lyons, teachers, volunteers, education assistants went through the exhibit and found that it can capture the attention of adult audience members as well as youth. "The only awkward part is crawling into the dome — it sort of a tunnel, so you have to do a duck walk to get inside. Once you're in, it's quite roomy," she said.

Star Lab, which is presently set up in the former Anglican church on site. The lab is a giant iglooshaped inflatable structure powered by a fan, which is dark enough to make its guests feel like it is night, regardless of the time of day. Lyons explains that a projector is used to teach a lesson about the constellations and the stars they consist of. "We have two canisters that are part of the show. One is about the Greek mythology behind constellation names and their stories. For younger children, that's helpful in giving an idea where to look for an actual star formation," Lyons said. "Another canister simulates the night sky, so you can go from the dot-to-dot pictures to actually finding the formations." Lyons said the exhibit also shares the science behind astronomy, teaching about the solar system, the phases of the sun and moon and their relationship to Earth. She added the Star Lab helps fill a void in the museum's regular exhibits for an important part of this rural municipality's heritage. "We like to see what's out there in terms of the travelling exhibits. We've hosted exhibits in the past, not necessarily from the ROM," she said. "One area we felt we miss is natural heritage and the science connections to heritage as well. We thought this would be an excellent fit and it might give school children an opportunity to see a ROM-quality exhibit without going to Toronto."

Picton United needs $100,000 for roofing projects

Happy 75th Birthday

Small congregation looks to community to support two historic churches

Mom, Nanny and Nanny “B”

AdAm BrAmBurger Staff writer

Two landmark buildings in the Picton area are badly in need of new roofs in the near future and a small group of people is responsible for the $100,000 price tag. They're looking for help. Rev. Phil Hobbs told the Gazette this week that the United Church of Canada provides no money for local church buildings. Instead, the congregants of the Picton United Church are responsible for the maintenance of their own stone church on Chapel Street (built in 1898) and the White Chapel in Hallowell (built in 1809) which was one of Ontario's first Methodist houses of worship and has been in the care of Picton United congregants for several years. As in many church communities over the past decade, the congregation has declined at Picton United to the point where Hobbs says there is only about 100 families contributing to its regular collection. Their money is being stretched to the limit to maintain the two buildings. "It certainly is a challenge (maintaining the buildings)," Hobbs said. "The folks that worship there are as generous as they can be — many are seniors on fixed incomes." He indicated the White Chapel had a new cedar shake roof put on it five years ago but it is now in a condition where it needs to be removed and replaced in a hurry. Hobbs said he was told the roof of Picton United Church last saw major renovations some 20 years ago and it has been an item of the minds of the church's board of trustees for some time. Temporary fixes over the years have not cut it. "The roof on the main church is leaking in one or two areas, we're constantly patching it. It definitely needs to be replaced," he said. "That leaking hasn't done any significant damage to the sanctuary yet, but we want to fix it as quickly as possible to prevent any damage."

Hobbs said the church congregation is hopeful that funds can come from beyond its own membership in order to pay for the restorations. He noted that both buildings were designated as heritage properties by the county and are pieces of the community's past. The clock tower on Picton United serves as a town clock for Picton, for example, and its bells chime every hour. Picton United also has a functional use for the community as it stages the annual Remembrance Day service and with an estimated 1,000 to 1,200 seats it is the largest concert and meeting facility in Picton and one of the largest in the community, alongside the Essroc Arena. It has a seating capacity that is more than double any community hall or theatre facility. "The building is a heritage piece that benefits the whole community, so we feel it is only right to reach out and ask for support to maintain a part of our history," he said. Hobbs indicated that with a "Raise The Roof" campaign that started in September, the church was "pretty much starting from scratch" in its efforts to raise the funds, adding that he estimated the drive was at less than 25 per cent of

the total ticket with help from a recent bequest. The fundraising committee of the church's board of trustees has been looking for creative ways to raise the necessary funds. One of the major initiatives of that campaign, the board's chair Debra Marshall said in a release, is the raffle of an original Victorian stained glass window from Picton United Church and a week's vacation next August at Lake Breeze Cottages on East Lake. "It's not very often you have the opportunity to own a piece of local history," said Marshall. "When the stained glass windows on the east side of the church were replaced through a memorial donation for new windows in 1986, the original windows were retained. It was with great deliberation that we decided to offer up one of the original windows as a prize." Marshall noted the other windows would be saved for future repairs or replacements. Tickets for the Dec. 3 draw are available at Flowers 'N Such on Paul Street, at the church's office, or from members of the congregation. Several live events have also been planned to help the effort. On Sept. 21, Grandpa's

Goodtime Gang celebrated its 30th anniversary with a benefit concert in front of 100 people. On Saturday, Oct. 11 there will be a Raising Bee Harvest Dinner at the White Chapel, recreating the bees held to help with the chapel's creation. Locally-sourced beef stew, fresh baked bread, dessert, and mulled cider will be available and a prize will be awarded for the best period costume. Tickets are $12.50 in advance, or $15 at the gate. Contact Roy Bruce at 613-476-7532 or the church office. A third even will take place during the church's anniversary weekend, Nov. 14. The Reasons will perform alongside Joyfull Noise in a concert co-sponsored by Sandbanks Homes. Advance tickets are available at the church office for $20 each. Hobbs said the church could look at the option of approaching the municipality for a grant considering the building's many public uses and indicated there is some precedent with municipal dollars helping the restoration of the clock tower. He knows, however, that at best any such grant would only be able to cover a small portion of the work. "We're aware there is a possibility of a grant from the municipality, but it wouldn't be a significant portion of the project," he said. "Council is dealing with the realities of the day and trying to balance its own budgets." Hobbs said he and the congregants are hopeful the community will recognize the value in the buildings and find ways to support the campaign to help preserve them in the years to come. "No one would want to see (Picton United) removed as another old church on Main Street was removed. We all need to pull together. This building benefits our whole community."

Looking back in the

Picton Gazette

90 years ago — 1924

n While the Gazette published advertisements for committees supporting both sides of the prohibition debate, editor A.E. Calnan made it very clear where the publication stood on the issue by writing “The present management of the Gazette has always supported any measure tending to limit and curtail the sale of intoxicating drinks and also added the words “this policy will not be changed.” n Nurses raised $330 in support of the Prince Edward County Hospital during their tag days campaign during the fair. The nurses reported they volunteered for eight hours and were met mostly with enthusiastic responses from members of the public attending the event. n The council chambers were packed as people waited for word from a coroner’s inquest following the death of Margaret Burtelle. She was struck by a snowmobile driven by Violet Sherwin, 16. The inquest found Sherwin was not negligent, but urged stricter requirements for young people to drive the vehicles.

coctions, and seeing which attracts what. During the peak season, we routinely have close to 25 feeders in operation, ranging from large platform style feeders to small tubular style feeders and a variety of novelty feeders designed for suet, peanuts and kitchen leftovers. It’s a lot of fun to see birds dash from feeder to feeder as the whim strikes them. And, that’s the whole point of putting up feeders. The biggest mistake operators of bird feeders make after they have set up their operation, is search about for the cheapest bird feed they can find. And cheap is what they usually end up with as blue jays and chickadees come for the first day to get the sprinkling of sunflower seed the so-called mixture has to offer, leaving the house sparrows and pigeons to quarrel over the remaining questionable seeds. Seed mills and bird specialty stores are by far the best sources of your bird feed. One must ignore the entrepreneurs who are out there with their flashy packaging interested in little more than reaping a huge profit from the escalating interest of attracting birds to the backyard. Feed mills and nature shops are in the business of catering to birders. They know for a mixture to be worth its money, it must be black with both the black oil and striped variety of sunflower seeds, as that is the number one choice for the majority of your guests. If the mixture also

contains peanuts, then you can be content in the knowledge that you have just purchased a high quality feed, and this will be reflected in a greater variety of birds at your feeder. Of course, depending on a mixed bird feed is only an option. Not everyone has the same species at their feeders. Many bird feeder operators purchase the ingredients separately – sunflower seed for one feeder, peanuts for another, etc., based on their clientele and what their favourite choices might be. A popular item, available at feed mills, is ground corn. Very inexpensive, it is ideal as a scratch feed to scatter on the ground. The mourning doves and other ground feeding birds will love you for it. Above all, have fun with your set up in the coming months. We have most of our feeders within sight of my office window where I can see them as I sit at my computer. When I am working on a column, or my new book, and my thought processes grind to a halt, I can always look out my window and depend on the feathered activity out there to provide the necessary prime to get me started again.

70 years ago — 1944 Psyching up for winter around the bird feeder n Heavy moisture in eastern Ontario in recent weeks helped the apple crops, which had suffered severely from a summer drought. Size and colour were considered below average for the crop. Local tomatoes seemed to fare better than anyone anticipated given the dry weather. The fruit ripened so quickly, it posed a challenge for growers to harvest. n Pte. Paul Cole died in battle in Belgium just weeks after his 18th birthday. The Point Petre native was a member of St. Gregory The Great Church and was thought to have many fine qualities. n Gunner Jack Jones, a member of the Royal Canadian Artillery, wrote to his parents that he was “almost smothered” by cheering French people when helping to liberate a town from Nazi control.

60 years ago — 1954

nFramework on the new Prince Edward Agricultural Centre was completed with sheeting, asphalt roofing, and corrugated sidewalls to be installed. The 100-foot-by242-foot building was initially designed as extra exhibition space for the fair, but with significant public contributions, the agricultural society was considering allowing it to be used as an arena. n Some 36 children from the county left Wellington on a bus bound for Toronto to see the Shrine Circus at Maple Leaf Gardens as guests of the Picton Shrine Club. It would be the 22nd consecutive year a local delegation attended the show.

n Ameliasburgh Township reeve Bill Bonter said his council was preparing to put out a tender for accessible transportation by the end of October. The township’s staff was busy meeting with the Prince Edward District Women’s Institute, the program’s sponsor, to fine tune the tender documents ot make sure they would meet township specifications. n The Prinzen family was honoured for its efforts to shelter seven Allied airmen in their home during the Second World War. On behalf of his mother Dora, Ben Prinzen accepted a medal from the Canadian Royal Air Forces Escaping Society.

CANADA’S OLDEST COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER

If you are like most of us who feed birds during the winter months, you never really stopped the practice, but continued right through the summer, in an effort to attract a few of the backyard residents. Summer feeding is a delightful experience, and one summer we had a pair of brown thrashers who had nested nearby become regular guests, along with catbirds, chickadees, and a host of others. Right now, there are juvenile downy and hairy woodpeckers feeding on our suet cakes and peanuts. For those who do put away their bird feeders for the summer, it is time to think about the feeder arrangement for the coming winter. Psychologically, we begin to think about birdfeeding with the arrival of autumn, and cooler weather. It is a good time to begin, if you are among those who closed things down for the summer months. Right now, many of the permanent residents are scouting around looking for areas to sustain them through the three lean months of the year. If your feeder is up and running., chances are, local birds will establish your setup as one of many feeding areas that they will visit through the winter. It is not necessary to worry if birds “need” our help. Birdfeeding, in recent, years, has gone far beyond the premise that birds need our help. They don’t need our help, and never did. We initiate a bird

feeding program because we want to have these colourful guests around our premises during the bleak days of winter, pure and simple, and there’s nothing wrong with that. There is absolutely nothing to suggest that offering food to birds does anything to their migratory habits or contributes to a dependency on us for food. All old wives’ tales. To improve your chances of enjoying a wide variety of birds this winter, a wide variety of feeders should be used, to appeal to varied tastes. The single feeder on a pole in the middle of the yard filled with budget feed from a big box store isn’t going to cut it. You need a variety of feeders, and a willingness to invest some money in quality feeds, and then have a little fun with your set-up, experimenting with placement of feeders, and mixing up your own con-

All-candidates’ meetings set for Picton and Ameliasburgh Monday

Monday night is a busy one for some of the candidates preparing for the Oct. 27 municipal election as two allcandidates’ meetings have been scheduled. At the Ameliasburgh Town Hall, that ward’s council candidates including incumbents Nick Nowitski, Dianne O’Brien and Janice Maynard and challengers Ron Pennell, Tim Fellows, and Rachael Tracey will have an opportunity to address the ward’s ratepayers during a

meeting from 7-9 p.m. The county’s three mayoral candidates Paul Boyd, Jeff Goddard, and Robert Quaiff will also attend that meeting. Bill Bonter will be the moderator. Each candidate will be allowed a one-minute opening statement and be asked two prepared questions. There will also be time allocated for questions from the audience. The questions can be directed at a particular candidate, though all will be given an opportunity

for reply. The event will close with a one-minute closing statement from each candidate in reverse order. Also that night, Picton’s large slate of council candidates, which includes Laverne Bailey, Stephanie Bell, Lenny Epstein, Ray Hobson, Treat Hull, and Phil St. Jean will be meeting at the Prince Edward Community Centre. The doors will open at 6:30 p.m. and the meeting will start at 7 p.m. Lynn Pickering will be serv-

ing as the moderator for the event. Candidates will be given three minutes for their opening remarks, then they will be asked written questions which the public is asked to submit at the door when entering the hall. Some time is also set aside for questions from the audience. The event will also include closing remarks from the various candidates, which will also be three minutes each. -Staff

Community must rise to challenge of preserving its heritage properties

IT’S heartbreaking to think that the congregants of the Picton United Church are having a difficult time being able to scrape together the money to complete the necessary repairs to the roof of their hallowed buildings. Recent concern from members of the Picton Legion about paying for the upkeep of their beautiful hall casts a similar note of sadness. Unfortunately, their stories have become all too common in this province and elsewhere in the world. Congregations of churches, of lodges, and of service clubs appear to be on the decline most places these days as people work hours than ever before and find their means of communication revolves more around devices than actual human contact. It’s indeed sad to think these beautiful buildings that were once packed full for weekly events are starting to become less used and less appreciated — and indeed, though it may be alarmist, it is hard to contemplate that one day many sites that were once the fabric of this and other communities may end up facing the wrecking ball just as the Methodist-Episcopal (later Presbyterian) church on Main Street did several years back. As much as one may pray for a religious revival that would pack churches again, or an outpouring of caring to reinvigorate the rolls of community service organizations, the world doesn’t seem to be slowing down any and there are so many places where dollars are needed without even contemplating bricks and mortar. Sadly, society will face a day when these beautiful relics will either need to be kept or they will fall into a state of disrepair and they won’t be very good to anyone. Though gatherings of like-minded people can occur at any place and at any time and they can ultimately bring about much value to the community, one has to examine these many beautiful, functional spaces and decide if society wants to preserve them — as many communities, particularly in Europe, have managed to do — or to be indifferent to their demise. An area like Prince Edward County has a rich history that its residents can be proud of and, ultimately, these structures lend to that history and offer it legitimacy to the eyes of a new generation seeking meaning and able to search globally for interesting tales of the past. That history can be shared and it can generate the funds necessary to supplement the preservation efforts. Perhaps Methodists from across Canada would come to see the White Chapel, which was one of the houses church speakers visited as they were attempting to spread their belief system across a broader area. Maybe the old stone church would be a fine place for a national convention for the United Church, for a travelling Christian music show, or even for movies that are looking for character. The Picton Legion also has a noteworthy collection of war artifacts and memorabilia that people would likely come a distance to see. It, too, could become a destination for people who are already coming to this county in search fo cuisine or of beaches. Of course, as noted above, the county isn’t the only place that has historical buildings in need of repair and interesting stories to tell. With a little creativity and a little vision, however, it could be among the leaders in finding a way to capitalize on it. Will the community rise to the challenge or wallow in the sadness?

Pecha Kucha night coming to the county this Saturday

The library is hosting the first Pecha Kucha Night of the newly formed Pecha Kucha Prince Edward County chapter on Saturday, Oct. 4 at 7:30 p.m. at the Bloomfield Town Hall. Pecha Kucha means chitchat in Japanese and is the basis for evenings built around a unique presentation format of 20 images shown on screen for 20 seconds each. The photos advance automatically and the presenters speak about them as they appear. Topics vary widely and can be almost anything one can imagine. Anyone can be a presenter, too. The format was devised by Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham of Klein Dytham Architecture with the first Pecha Kucha Night held in Tokyo in February, 2003. The idea has grown to thousands of these nights around the world. There are over 700 chapters and now Prince Edward County has its very own official Pecha Kucha chapter. “The county, with so many interesting people and things going on, seemed liked the perfect place to hold Pecha Kucha Nights,” says Paul Andrews, one of the PKN organizers who also initiated the formation of a local chapter. It was at a Creative Minds gathering at Small Pond Arts that the library became involved, and with the addition of Hri Neil, Krista Dalby and Lenny Epstein, along with Andrews, plans were quickly underway. “We’re so thankful to have the library involved in making this happen,” Andrews says. “It’s only through their support that we have been able to bring this exciting event to the community for free.” Anyone with something interesting to show and speak about can present at a Pecha Kucha night, though good photography and being comfortable speaking in front of an audience help, of course. For the first event, rather than having a “call out” inviting people to submit their ideas for a presentation, the group decided to approach people they thought might be both interested and have something

interesting to share. This was also decided in the interest of time. The line up for the inaugural Pecha Kucha includes, among others, a young talented furniture maker, an illustrator/designer who can’t say no – come see where that’s landed him! – a video game designer, an architect whose presentation is entitled “Embracing Imperfection, one presenter’s unique experience in Ghana, the life changing challenges of adult learners, awesome vegetables, and more.” Each presentation is under seven minutes long, so it will be a fast paced, fun night. In addition to the presentations, there will be time to enjoy refreshments, including delicious sweets from The Pink Lunch Pail. This is a free event and suitable for all ages. If you have something interesting to share and would like to make a presentation at a future Pecha Kucha night, contact Christine a crenaud@peclibrary.org or call 613-476-5962 or Paul Andrews at paulandrews.pec@gmail.com Learn more at pechakucha.org and visit the Prince Edward County page at pechakucha.org/ cities/prince-edward-county.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Remember to check your smoke alarms monthly

An important fire safety program is in place in Picton and communities across Ontario throughout Fire Prevention Week Oct. 5-11, 2014, and extending over the entire month. I am writing to make all parents aware of the initiative and how they can help. Fire departments are working with teachers to educate children about the importance of properly functioning and installed smoke

alarms. Watch for “test and replace your smoke alarm” homework kit in your child’s backpack, which includes a home fire escape plan and “test and replace” fire safety checklist. The packages are designed to work in tandem with the website www.safeathome.ca/testandreplace. It is critical to know that working smoke alarms installed correctly throughout your home, double the

chances of surviving a catastrophic house fire. To ensure your families safety from fire, you must test your smoke alarms monthly to confirm they are in proper working order. Smoke alarm batteries must be replaced with fresh ones at least once per year. Also, smoke alarms do not last forever. If your smoke alarm is more than 10 years old it must be replaced. Outdated alarms might not provide the

protection you count on. Some new models feature 10-year lithium batteries which never need to be changed and last the full life of the alarm. Please be fire safe and ‘test and replace your smoke alarms’ this Fire Prevention Week. Tadeusz (Ted) Wieclawek Ontario Fire Marshal and chair, Fire Marshal's Public Fire Safety Council

Conservatives disenfranchise farmers through policies

W.C. Fields’ line “Never give a sucker an even break, or smarten up a chump” has never been better executed than by the Conservative government and their farmer-disenfranchisment policies. Their first move upon election in 2006 was to tear up the farmer-railcar agreement. This agreement would have given farmers a place at the grain transportation table, and while it wouldn’t have solved allthe marketing problems from last year it would have at least given farmers a look behind the curtain. This move was followed by taking away the commu-

nity pasture network that farmers have relied on for decades, destroying the PFRA and the tree nursery, vaporizing the support that farmers had through the margin based Agristability program, and weakening the Canadian Grain Commission. In parallel was the defunding and destruction of the grain varietal development and research capacity—and this at a time when the world’s population has never been higher and the climate has increasing variability. Decimation of the Canadian Wheat Board (CWB) was next—farmers were dis-

enfranchised and not allowed to vote on the matter according to the existing law, taxpayers were billed an unnecessary $349 million in 2011, and the $16 billion world leading exporter was reduced from a business to a political maneuver with a few hundred million in assets. Predictably the destruction of orderly marketing through the real CWB cost farmers $4 billion in lost income for the 2013 crop (money that ended up in grain company pockets, lost sales and demurrage charges), and the government now refuses to publish any financial reports for the

Ritz-run CWB since 2012. With financial cover-ups and fast-tracking the give-away of farmer-paid CWB assets, it looks like the government is trying to bury a dead skunk as fast as they can. An agriculture minister from Ontario or B.C. could not have accomplished this much destruction. No, the minister had to be a short-term thinker from the prairies where Conservative votes could be taken for granted. Somewhere W.C Fields is feeling warm and fuzzy all over again.

St. Mary Magdalene to host community hymn sing this Sunday

This Sunday, there will be voices soaring into the air at St. Mary Magdalene Anglican Church as it celebrates the end of a series of concerts to celebrate 100 years of its Cassavant organ. Cassavant Freres, from St Hyacinthe, Quebec, then one of the most renowned pipe organ builders in the world, built and installed the two manual organ at St. Mary Magdalene. Since then, in 1974 and again later in 2008, the organ was refurbished at

great cost to expand its sound and versatility and today it is known as the best example of its kind in eastern Ontario. The grand pipe organ was ordered by the parishioners of the day to add to the glory of worship with fine music and to promote interest in music in the county. A former organist at the church, Jim Macgregor has felt that people still enjoy singing old-time hymns

together and with that in mind, he has held hymn sings in several parishes as well as St. Mary Magdalene. Knowing the anniversary celebration was coming, Macgregor recently asked parishioners to submit their favourite hymps for a hymn sing, which will take place at 7 p.m. this Sunday. Macgregor and current organist Michael Goodwin will lead the programme and they’re inviting the entire

community to come out and be a part of the music-making process. Two large screens in the church will show the lyrics to allow everyone to participate. A goodwill offering will be taken Sunday night and the money raised will be donated to the Recreation Outreach Centre (ROC) to support a nutritious food programme that it offers for county youth. -Staff

Music festival attracts enthusiastic audiences Talented performers bring chamber music to life

WHATTAM’S COMMUNITY CALENDAR

This year's Prince Edward County Music Festival once again brought infectious and passionate classical compositions to the county. The Church of St. Mary Magdalene was the place to be for the opening weekend. The festival kicked off Friday, Sept. 19 at the church with performances from the Penderecki String Quartet, followed on Saturday, Sept. 20 by cellist Denise Djokic, and on Sunday, Sept. 21 by pianist André Laplante. The action picked up again on Thursday at the church with performances from violinist Nikki Chooi, and pianist Philip Chiu. On Friday, audiences were presented with a performance from piano quartet Ensemble Made in Canada. Saturday and Sunday offered a bit of a twist with dinner, wine, and a presentation of Bizet's opera Carmen at Casa-Dea Estates Winery, and a selection from chamber orchestra I Musici De Montreal at the Regent Theatre respectively. Artistic director Stéphane Lemelin said the show had a terrific opening weekend with the program featuring “wonderful and very intense music.” “People in the audience have commented on how rich an experience it has been,” Lemelin said of the weekend's performances. He said he was especially excited to hear Chooi and Chiu Thursday night. “Nikki is a phenomenal young artist who is developing a major international career as one of the finest violinists of his generation,” said Lemelin. He said Ensemble Made in Canada's performance on Friday presented some-

thing special. “I have heard them several times, and these four young women bring an infectious dose of passion and intelligence to their music-making,” he said. Lemelin said the festival's performance at Casa-Dea offered a chance for the audience to be “in the middle of the action” as CBC radio host and mezzo-soprano Julie Nesrallah presented her adaptation of Carmen in the intimate setting. He said the performance from I Musici De Montreal at

the Regent on Sunday was the first time the festival has presented an orchestra concert. He said audiences have been very receptive of this year's festival performances. “Festival audiences are always enthusiastic,” said Lemelin. “It is wonderful to see people who come back year after year.” He said visitors can always expect “passionate, engaging, and inspiring music-making” at the festival.

The Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board (HPEDSB), like most other school boards in Ontario, continue to grapple with declining enrollment. Public school board trustees learned last week at their monthly meeting at Belleville's Education Centre that the overall number of elementary attending school this month is 10,164, which is up 13 students over projections made last spring. That population is still down 32 elementary students over 2013-2014's population of 10,196. On the secondary student front, the news isn't nearly as good as the number of HPEDSB highs schoolers is in class to start the school year is 4,904, a drop of 47 versus the spring projection and a loss of 278 over the 20132014 population. According to report submitted by Superintendent of Business Services Leslie Miller, Secondary enrollments remain in a period of decline as lower numbers of students in elementary school graduate to secondary school. This decline continues to be expected for a few more years at which time the enrollments in secondary schools will stabilize. “On the secondary side, we do know that we are still in a period of decline and we are trying to forecast that for the next few years. We are still dealing capturing that forecast accurately. The trending isn't surprising but we would like be more accurate in how

we are,” Miller said. The bright side of the report would have to be the increase in parents taking advantage of the full day kindergarten program that is now offered at every local public elementary school after a five year staggered roll out. Overall, HPEDSB had over 100 more children enrolled in all day kindergarten than what they expected when making projections at the close of last school year. “We are happy to see us up over 100 students than what we were expecting in the kindergarten panel which is good news for usinviting and welcoming new students into our system,” Miller said. As the board sets budgets and places staff and resources after their senior staff develops student population projections, getting the numbers as close to actual is paramount to the $189 million operation. “Overall as a board, we are only 34 students off and we are pretty pleased to be mostly retaining our students,” Miller said. With the school board operations funded mostly on a per-pupil basis through the global Grants for Students Needs envelope by way of the Ministry of Education, being off slightly can mean a rejigging of staffing and resources. “We go through processes and look school by school and check behind the scenes and make changes as they are necessary,” Miller added.

OPP investigating sexual assault

Police say they received information about a sexual assault that occurred Friday afternoon at a conservation area on County Rd. 8 in Picton. The information suggested the incident was interrupted by two people walking in the area.

Police are asking for the public’s assistance in finding out more about the incident. Anyone with details to share is asked to contact the Prince Edward OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or Crime Stoppers at 613-969-8477.

Highland Shores spreads word about purple ribbons Campaign intends to share preventative message and encourage talk about child abuse Chad Ibbotson

Marina fuel project must wait for next council term Chad Ibbotson Staff writer

With the election approaching, council was forced to shuffle a decision on new fuel tanks for the Picton marina to the first committee-of-the-whole meeting in December. Municipal staff put forward a report recommending the $206,017.88-contract for the Picton Marina fuel tank replacement be awarded to M.A. Barr. The report also recommended to capital budget for the project be increased to $225,000 to be funded from the municipality's capital sustainability reserve. After some debate about the project, council voted to refer the issue to the Dec. 4 committee meeting. Current council is barred from making a decision on the project due to its “lame duck” status as the next council could differ significantly from the current incarnation. Engineering, development, and works commissioner Robert McAuley said it was staff's intention to

bring the project forward earlier in the year, but workload and staff changes pushed it past the Sept. 12 nomination deadline. Council had initially debated the project during last year's budget process and ultimately voted to put $140,000 into the budget to complete the work following site plan drawings and an estimate from consultant F.P. Amo Hydrocarbon Services. Only two tenders were received for the project with M.A. Barr submitting the lowest bid, which exceeded the budget allotment by about $66,000. During the “lame duck” period between the nomination deadline and the election council is restricted from making several key decisions. They are barred from hiring or firing any officer or employee of the municipality or disposing of any property with a value exceeding $50,000 when it was acquired. They are also restricted from making any expenditure exceeding $50,000 unless included in the 2014 budget.

Highland Shores Children's Aid and the Quinte Children's Foundation are hoping residents will adorn themselves with purple this month. Representatives from both organizations were at Shire Hall last week to help spread the word about Child Abuse Prevention Month and the Purple Ribbon Campaign. Highland Shores Children's Aid Picton branch manager Dwayne Stacey said one way the children's aid societies are spreading awareness about child abuse and neglect is through the Purple Ribbon Campaign. Like many similar campaigns the purple ribbon is worn to spark discussion, raise awareness, and show support for the cause. “There are many factors that can lead to child abuse or neglect and they stem from a variety of sources,” Stacey told councillors at last week's committee-ofthe-whole meeting. “They include substance abuse, mental health issues, and poverty.” He said a 2012 study found that one in seven Ontario children live in poverty. He said the study indicated 27 per cent of substantiated investigations in Canada showed the household lacked basic necessities like clothing and food. “What's important for us is to gather and get out the information and increase

awareness about the issues that impact children and families in our community,” said Stacey. “The role we can all play through that increased awareness is to create an environment for children where they begin to understand that abuse and intellect is not their fault.” He said Highland Shores Children's Aid relies on the support of the community and its partners to play a key role in the wellbeing of families and children. “Child safety and family welfare is not the job of one person, but its a role for all of us,” he said. He asked councillors to

help use their voice to spread awareness of the issue and support the Purple Ribbon Campaign. Quinte Children's Foundation executive director Connie Reid said the organization is the charitable arm of children's aid. She said this year the foundation gave out 10 bursaries to youth in Prince Edward County and gave six the year prior. She said the organization has programs specifically for children in care and offers programs for families who have no dealings with CAS that are living in poverty. “October is Child Abuse Prevention Month and purple is the signature colour

of child abuse prevention,” said Reid. “We hope you'll wear purple throughout the month of October to help us raise awareness.” She said there are many things residents can do to help. She said the foundation has socks and shirts for sale. She said in the past some hockey teams have taped their sticks purple to show support. The Wellington Dukes will show their support again this year on Friday, Oct. 10 and the Picton Pirates will follow suit on Thursday, Oct. 16. She asked for schools, businesses, and community organizations to unite and wear purple on Friday, Oct. 17.

Young winemaker plies his trade at Thirty Three Vines

Well, this week I didn't have to go far to go Sippin' in the County. It was the 13th annual Taste Community Grown event here in Picton and I have not missed one of these since I moved here. This years event was awesome and the weather could not have been any better for the people that travelled from all parts of the province (as well as from Quebec and New York State) to sample what we produce here; local raw food, local dishes (including some fantastic lobster rolls from East & Main!), local beer and yes — local wine. There were quite a few county wineries at the event and I sipped some wine here and there but one story jumped out at me. I ran into Lorrie Maw and her son James who must the youngest winemaker in Ontario.They were from Thirty Three Vines Winery in Adolphustown; about 10 km on the other side of the ferry on the Loyalist Parkway. If you've ever gone to Kingston that way you will have seen their vineyard; they have the caboose as their tasting room . James was already working on the family orchard farm in Prince Edward County at the age of 16 on a part time basis through the summer months but had not really considered the orchard work to be his true passion. One of his dreams at a young age became real when his family purchased the vineyard and winery in May 2011. He started working at Thirty Three Vines as a parttime field worker, learning from the ground up. James started apprenticing under the previous owner of the winery (Paul Minaker) in May 2011 and was inspired to learn more about viticulture. The family then hired a wine consultant (Pat Del-Gatto) from DelGatto Estates winery who has helped many winemak-

sippin’ in the county JOE HACHE

ers in the county. Under DelGatto’s direction James then learned more about the art of grape growing and winemaking. This learning began as a “clean up” of the vineyard as the vines were stressed and in need of training. After much hard work and dedication the vineyard was free of disease and producing beautiful clusters and stellar wines. James states that “I wouldn’t be where I am today without Del-Gatto’s knowledge and patience”. Thirty Three Vines was rewarded a Visionary Award from Land O’ Lakes in 2011. James’ passion for the art of winemaking continued to blossom. He has soaked up all the knowledge from his colleagues that he could absorb. He has been the winemaker at Thirty Three Vines Winery since he was 18 years old and has collaborated with others in the business and has learned a great deal about the wine industry not only as a winemaker but as a vineyard manager. James has participated in many events over the past four seasons such as Taste of the County and the Cheese Festival here in Picton, The Wine and Cheese Festivals in Brockville and The County in the City event in Ottawa. In 2013, James became more creative in his own craft with a distinct taste for fine

wines. He is very proud of his wines especially his 2012 Frontenac blanc and 2012 Cabernet franc which were just released. Frontenac blanc is the only one of its kind being offered in Prince Edward County and area and is crafted from grapes grown in the family vineyard in Cressy, Prince Edward County. The vines are distinct in nature from Quebec and were planted in the Cressy vineyard in 2010. Frontenac blanc has a very distinct citrus melon nose and flavour that is robust and tantalizing even to the very elite and distinctive palate. James’ next step is to go international to further his knowledge, education and experience. Although he is

only 21 years old, he plans to attend college in California and then travel to Italy. He is eager to apply his knowledge to further his education as a winemaker and to learn more about the art of winemaking, marketing and sales. Next time you're in their area you have to make the effort to stop by and taste the wine this young man has been able to produce at such a young age. You can do your Sippin' in the caboose at the end of the county wine trail. -Joe Hache maintains an independent guide to local wineries at www.princeedwardcountywineries.com.

Our all-season Hospitality Heaven

The County's wine industry has grown from zero to forty wineries in 15 years, with a $4 million payroll. During that time I served on Council for two separate terms. Council takes little credit for the forty new wineries: Mother Nature provided the terroir and Council provided the welcoming regulatory environment. Entrepreneurial farmers did the rest, with supportive Council assistance when requested. Most wineries have bottling facilities. Several have restaurants. Most have employees. They have contributed to County charities and taxes. They've helped spawn new businesses. They attracted all-season visitors from away. Those visitors stayed in County B&Bs and hotels, enjoyed fine dining in County restaurants, shopped in County stores, supported County artists, and bought County produce.

Last month the Drake Devonshire hotel and restaurant in Wellington opened its doors after a major renovation. The Waring House thrives. Now Greg Sorbara has begun renovating the Royal Hotel in Picton. Together with the County's network of private B&B operators and small inns, these hotels could make Prince Edward County a prime venue for small conferences and seminars.

The County has little manufacturing industry, and we are not willing hosts to Industrial Wind Turbines. But we are willing and welcoming hosts to city folks who enjoy the natural surroundings that we offer. And now we are putting it all together: the tranquillity, the scenery, the beaches, the wineries, the restaurants, the hotels, and the friendly people who live here. We are a Hospitality Heaven.

So let's embrace an economic development strategy that recognizes our natural rural strengths. Let's expand our summertime attractiveness into a year-round thriving hospitality community. Let's become not only an all-season home for appropriate specialty industries, but also an exciting all-season destination for recreational tourists and conference delegates. We know we can do it.

Fall is a great time to pot spring bulbs to prepare them for winter flowering

I thought I might give you some ideas for “puttering around” type of gardening chores that you can do in the next few weeks before a hard frost comes our way. I’ve been eyeing my hydrangeas recently waiting for them to be at the perfect stage for cutting to bring indoors for a winter bouquet. When the flowers just begin to feel papery and still have a little color I cut them, bring them indoors and place them in a vase with about an inch of water. I keep them out of direct sunlight and over about a week they will have absorbed the water and completed their drying cycle. Then I can arrange them in gloriously huge bouquets and save some back for holiday decorating (with a little tinge of gold or silver spray paint) or for adding to an arrangement in a winter pot on the front porch. Soon the garden centers will be closed for the season

and it will be difficult to find supplies that you might want to have during the winter so now is the time to get out there and stock up for what you may need. If you have plans to repot house plants,

pick up some potting soil and pots if necessary. If you are interested in forcing bulbs for winter blooms, pick up the bulbs, some potting soil and some pots. A pot of tulips in bloom on a wintery day can lift the spirits. October is the time of the year to begin potting your favorite spring bulbs to prepare them for winter flowering. Tulips, narcissus (daffodils), hyacinths, crocus, scillas, grape hyacinths, and lily of the valley can be forced into flower in late winter and early spring. Use only top quality, good-sized bulbs. Don't mix varieties in the same container, since they vary in their dates of flowering. Begin with clean clay or plastic pots. Add a good potting soil or a triple mix to the pot until it is partially filled. Place the bulbs in the pots pointy side up and add additional soil, keeping the noses of the bulbs showing just

above the soil line. When planting tulips, place the flat side of the bulb against the rim of the pot as the largest leaf will emerge from that side making an attractive edging for your pot. Plant the bulbs close together in a pot. You can fit six tulips, or three hyacinths, or six daffodils or 15 crocus into a 6” pot. Don’t press the bulbs into the soil, but rather just scoop the soil into the pot around the bulbs. Allowone-quarter inch of space at the top of the pot so it can be watered easily. Water thoroughly and do not worry about fertilizing as the bulbs have sufficient food stored to bloom one time. Thereafter, the soil should never be allowed to become dry. Bulbs must be given a cold temperature treatment of 3-9 degrees Celsius for a minimum of 12–13 weeks. Bulbs can be placed in an unheated attic or cellar, or even your refrigerator's vegetable section. In the refrigerator, the pots should be covered with plastic bags that have had a few breathing holes punched in them. The bulbs must not be allowed to freeze. The first pots can be removed from storage for forcing to begin in 10 to 12 weeks from planting. If planted Oct. 1, bring the first pots into the warmth of your home right after Christmas. For a continuous supply of flowers, bring in a few pots at weekly intervals. On the average the bulbs will flower in three to four weeks. Closer

to spring, they flower more rapidly. Place the pots in a cool, sunny location. A temperature of 10 to 20 degrees Celsius is preferred for the first week or until the shoots and leaves begin to expand. Then, they can be moved to warmer locations. Avoid direct sunlight. Once the bulbs are blooming, move the pots to a cool location each night. The cooler temperatures will prolong the life of the flowers. Small pots of crocus can even be placed in your refrigerator overnight. Discard tulips, narcissus, crocus, and hyacinths after flowering as they normally are "spent" and are not likely to ever flower satisfactorily again. Summer outdoor containers that contain perennials can be stored in cold locations for the winter such as

an unheated garage or a basement. Remove any annuals from the pot, fill in the holes with potting soil and cover the containers loosely with newspapers. Winter containers will need to contain soil in order to hold the plant materials. Because winter plant materials are dried, the type of soil doesn’t matter so you could use inexpensive planting soil from a garden centre or any soil that can be dug up around your property or even previously planted potting soil. Plant your winter pots before the soil freezes in them. Fall is the most important time to fertilize your turf grass. Use a fertilizer that is formulated for fall application. It should be reasonably high in nitrogen and potassium and lower in phosphorous. Enjoy this very beautiful time of year and take time to think about changes you want to make for next year’s garden.

Canada’s Fire Marshals and Fire Commissioners aim to recruit up to 100,000 kids in unique fire safety program

The Council of Canadian Fire Marshals and Fire Commissioners together with the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council have announced a major initiative tackling youth fire safety nation-wide. Ontario is among 11 provinces and territories who are working together to arm teachers with unique lesson plans that encourage every Canadian household to test and replace their smoke alarms during the 92nd annual Fire Prevention Week, October 5th to 11th.

The Fire Marshals and Fire Commissioners expect to engage thousands of primaryschool teachers across Canada

who will teach special lessons to upwards of 100,000 students as part of a broad scope of Fire Prevention Week activities under its North American-wide theme “Working Smoke Alarms Save Lives: Test Yours Every Month!” Lesson plans, distributed by The Council of Canadian Fire Marshals and Fire Commissioners through Scholastic Canada, will be supported by the local efforts of fire departments and the campaign’s educational website safeathome.ca.

Tadeusz (Ted) Wieclawek , Ontario Fire Marshal and Chair of the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council says, “We’re

pleased to have the fire departments from Ontario and all across Canada involved in this important campaign. Fire departments and teachers have long had a special partnership that leaves a lasting impression on students; one that can further build fire-safe generations to come.” Duane McKay, president, Council of Canadian Fire Marshals and Fire Commissioners (CCFMFC) says, “Fire safety programs that focus on our youth have a two-prong benefit. The lessons deliver the fire safety fundamentals that youngsters need to know to safely escape a burning home, and, the kids help motivate Moms and Dads to make smoke alarm maintenance and replacement a higher priority.” “The potential benefits of a successful national outreach are enormous,” McKay adds. “In over one-half of fatal fires, investigators typically find no working smoke alarms.” Parents should watch for “Test and Replace” homework pages which include a home fire escape planning sheet and a safety checklist. Once completed, parents and youngsters can go online at safeathome.ca/testandreplace to register their home and download a certificate of completion for the child to take back to class. The complete homework kit is

also available for download. Safeathome.ca also provides helpful tips for testing and maintaining smoke alarms, when to replace alarms, and where to install them. In most jurisdictions across Canada, smoke alarms are required on every storey of the home and outside all sleeping areas. Carol Heller is a home safety expert with Kidde Canada, a CCFMFC partner. She says educational campaigns help correct widespread misconceptions about smoke alarms, in particular, that they can be installed and forgotten about and never need to be replaced. People also mistakenly believe, she says, that so long as a smoke alarm beeps when the test button is pushed, that the alarm if fully functioning. “Old habits can lead to a tragedy,” says Heller. “Testing smoke alarms should be done monthly and batteries should be replaced at least once annually, whether the alarm is battery powered or is hardwired with battery backup. And even if the alarm sounds when you push the test button, if it is more than 10 years old it must be replaced, as cooking and dust deteriorate the sensor over time. Outdated alarms might not provide the protection you count on.” New technology is easing the responsibility of the once-peryear battery replacement rule.

QHC president gets five-year extension Fire Marshal, OPP examine Union St. blaze taking over the beleaguered hospital in 2009 and dismissing the former board members. In her tenure at QHC, the hospital has had ups and downs while dealing with a changing face and direction of healthcare in the province of Ontario. Belleville General Hospital has seen its emergency department renovated and plans to build a new Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital have been advanced to the Southeast Local Health Integration Network for final approval. But as a result of provincial austerity measures by way of new healthcare funding model have resulted in unpopular service reductions Picton, Trenton and Belleville. In accordance with the current provincial salary restraint legislation, the renewed contract was negotiated with no changes to the compensation or benefits. In 2013, Egberts was paid $331,000 in salary and $19,000 in benefits to oversee the entire operation of the hospital. In his remarks concerning the announcement, QHC board chair Steve Blakely thanked Egberts for the past five years, stating the president and chief executive “has done an outstanding job for us to date.” Blakely also thanked the provincial government tongue-in-cheek for making the negotiations rather straightforward. Egberts thanked the senior staff and the directors for their confidence in her over the past half decade.

Investigation to continue regarding cause of fire Tuesday Jason Parks

Staff writer

Prince Edward OPP and the investigators from the Office of the Ontario Fire Marshal were still on scene Wednesday morning investigating a residential fire at a home on Union Street. Prince Edward firefighters were dispatched to a small fire at a townhouse near the corner of Union and Church Street around 2 a.m. Tuesday morning. After quickly battling and extinguishing the blaze, local fire officials called the Prince Edward OPP who contained the scene and started investigating the blaze with the assistance of the Forensic Identification Unit and the OPP Crime Unit. Prince Edward OPP community services officer Const. Anthony Mann told the Gazette Wednesday morning there was no one at home during their fire and there were no reported injuries related to the incident. “It's not suspicious as of yet,” Mann said. “We are still determining a cause with the assistance of the (fire marshal’s) office today and the road closure is still in place as of this time between Maitland and Church streets.” With no one being home at the time of the fire, it's It appears Prince Edward County is a safe place to work. The municipality announced last week that a focus on health and safety has paid off, with the County — including H.J. McFarland Home — celebrating two years without any lost time due to workplace injuries. A release from the

difficult to pin down the origin of the blaze. “With any fire, we have to determine the cause and if it's not apparent from the onset, it takes time to further investigate and that's what's being done,” Mann said. “Once it's clear as to the cause whether it's suspicious or not, we will go from there.” Mann said the investiga-

tion involves interviewing several people including witnesses. It was hoped the section of roadway would be opened some time Wednesday afternoon. The adjoining business Thorne's Variety stayed closed on Tuesday but reopened Wednesday morning.

County goes two years without a workplace injury municipality says the milestone is a direct result of hard work and an ongoing focus County staff have had on maintaining a safe workplace. Mayor Peter Mertens congratulated staff on their work. “The health and safety of our employees is our top priority,” Mertens says in the release. “On behalf of

council, I would like to congratulate all County employees on reaching this significant milestone — and for their ongoing dedication to health and safety in the workplace.” The municipality also thanked internal joint health and safety committees.

Forrester hopes to balance budgets, manage growth Athol incumbent sees fine line between development and excessive change Jason Parks

Staff writer

Jamie Forrester has been on Prince Edward County council for the past four years and is hoping for another term to bring the cares and concerns of voters living in Ward Five to Shire Hall. The incumbent in Athol Ward stands on his record for the past term but says there are still important issues needed to be dealt with this coming term. “I still think there's a lot of things that we need to accomplish, there's still the issue of escalating of taxes,” Forrester said. “We still have to tighten our belts and learn to live with what we have- to a certain degree but people are asking how can we afford to have our taxes keep going up.” Forrester is a tourism business operator, having owned and operated Log Cabin Point on East Lake for a number of years, and believes fiscal responsibility by the municipal government is a top priority. “We need to focus on being fiscally responsible and balancing the County’s budget. We need to get focused, think carefully, and make some hard decisions on how money is spent, and it needs to be done in a way that is transparent and accountable to county residents. Simply raising taxes is not a viable option in the long run,” Forrester said. Balancing the budget is a balancing act considering costs for items like emergency services continue to rise over and above the growth rate of the local tax base. “We are not getting the funding we used to get when it comes to police and fire and we have to do it

The incumbenT Athol businessman Jamie Forrester

better and smarter with a very small tax base that is not growing,” Forrester added. That listing tax base could be bolstered by new jobs for young adults and the father of two young men is aware to the mass exodus of local young people in search of sustainable employment.

“The County needs to develop a balanced economy that provides meaningful career opportunities for our youth. Our sons are now young adults and I see firsthand the challenges they and their friends face as they build their careers – many must leave the county in order to do so,” Forrester said. “A challenge for

the County is to build an economy that can provide year-round job opportunities and affordable housing options for our younger residents while conserving that unique rural/small town appeal that draws people here.” Plucking the Prince Edward County golden goose just for jobs is counterproductive and Forrester further explained any growth needs to be done in a balanced approach. “There's councillors and some publications that continuously state “We need this growth, we need to change things.” Well, we have to be careful because if you ask anyone what they love about the county, they love its uniqueness, culture, heritage and arts,” Forrester said. “We don't want to change it too much and I think we are on a very tight edge when you examine growth.” Council will have some key issues to look at next term and if they want to keep taxes from going up, elected municipal representatives will need to look at three options. “You need to either cut spending, cut services and/or increase efficiencies,” Forrester said. “I read some of the profiles of those in the race and candidates are saying 'We want bike trails, we want this and we want that.' Well, those things cost money and they don't come without a raise in taxes.”

After 30 years in the air freshener business, Stan Grizzle is hoping to be a breath of fresh air in Prince Edward County. The former Brighton business man settled on East Lake road in April and is running to represent Athol Ward in the upcoming municipal election. For three decades Grizzle owned and operated Canadian Odour Control which distributed products all over North America as well as Western Europe. During his time in Brighton Grizzle served on several volunteer boards including Brighton Community Care for Seniors, Rotary International, St. John Ambulance (Trenton) and was chairman of the Warkworth Penitentiary Board for eight years. Grizzle is now partner in East Lake Electronic Bike which sells and rents the vehicles locally. Grizzle, who was the founding CEO of the Green Party associations at both the provincial and federal levels in NorthumberlandQuinte West, has been vacationing here since the early 1980s and has always dreamed of retiring to Prince Edward County. Well, semi-retiring as he's involved with his latest initiative because “the business opportunities are phenomenal here,� Grizzle said. “It's a jewel of an area.� So why make a bid to be a member of the next Prince

Edward County council? “I'm concerned the council is to reactive and not proactive. I think citizens are asking questions of council and they aren't getting answers,� Grizzle told the Gazette. “And that comes from some personal experience. Councillors are responsible to taxpayers and taxpayers need more input on how the County is run.� When looking toward issues in the ward, Grizzle said tourism is a huge part of the economy of Athol but so is agriculture. “Why can't we blend those two aspects together?� He wondered and brought up the superfood Quinoa which has had a popularity explosion in the past year. “It typically grows in the Andes mountain but some varieties grow where tomatoes will grow so there is a synergy between those two plants. Athol produced tomatoes years ago, so there could be a tremendous potential, you just need to kick the rocks over and see where the potential is,� Grizzle said. On a broader scale, Grizzle said the low Canadian dollar should be taken advantage of while the economic timing is right and looked no farther than the E-bikes he sells. He said the design of the bikes are extremely simple. “They are made with plastic, which is oil, and steel. These are all things we have readily available in this country. We have the tools, equipment and the people to assemble them, lets look at the possibilities. These things are being shipped over from China in metal crates and the crates are worth more than the bikes,� he said. Canada should be a better country than being able to stick a straw into our oil fields and suck the oil out he said. “We have a lot more to offer than that.The unemployment rate is awful here and talking to folks that are saying 'Our young people are leaving because there is nothing here,' well everything is here we just aren't using it properly....We have to think outside the box, no one is doing that on council and that's why I'm running.�

Van Hecke says solar could be option for Athol Firefighter looks to bring negotiating experience to council

Thank you to the volunteers, businesses that allowed us sales sites, and our generous community for making our Krispy Kreme fundraiser a success!

Staff writer

An employee with the City of Belleville is aiming at becoming a councillor in Prince Edward County. Tim Van Hecke, a fire prevention officer with Belleville's fire and emergency services is one of three candidates vying for the chance represent voters in Athol Ward. Van Hecke has been a professional firefighter with the city since 1995 was prior to that, was a volunteer fireman with Sydney Township. Although he's spent a good portion of his adult life living north of the Norris Whitney Bridge, he is a county native and returned to his roots, moving to Cherry Valley last November. Representing one municipality while being employed by another is not a conflict of interest for Van Hecke who said he has the full support of his brothers in the Belleville fire department to run for seat in Prince Edward County's Ward Five. “I've had this desire to get involved politically for quite some time and right now the timing is right,” said Van Hecke, who is expected to retire from the fire service in about five years. During his time with the fire department, Van Hecke has sat on a number of committees that are responsible for negotiating contracts and dealing with grievances. He mentioned that during his time as grievance committee chair, no grievance ever

went to binding arbitration, a fact he is proud of. As for what concerns his neighbours currently, Van Hecke said industrial wind turbines seem to be popular fodder currently. “I know a lot of people have concerns with wind energy and most of it was dealt with before I moved back to Prince Edward County,” he said, admitting he was still researching the various positions being taken by the various groups involved in the matter. While wind turbines are a divisive issue in Prince Edward County, solar farms seem to be a softer option for those looking to generate and harness alternative energy and Van Hecke wonders if

Dukes finally find their offence at Governor’s Showcase 7-2 thrashing of Buffalo snaps Wellington’s fourgame winless skid Jason Parks

Staff writer

In spite of a seven goal explosion against the Buffalo Junior Sabres Sunday afternoon, the anemic Wellington Dukes are dangerously close to getting lapped in the early going of the 2014-2015 OJHL campaign. It was a one-step-forward-two steps-back weekend for the Dukes who lost 5-1 to the Kingston Voyageurs Thursday night and dropped a 4-2 decision to the Hamilton Red Wings on Saturday at the OJHL Governor’s Showcase in Oakville. Wellington finally righted the ship Sunday, blasting the Sabres 7-2 in a mainly one-sided affair. Wellington (2-5-0) are now a full 12 points behind the Eastern Division leading Trenton Golden Hawks with a contest between the two slated for Friday night in Quinte West. Wellington hosts Lindsay Sunday before travelling to the Cougar den in Cobourg on Monday . All of a sudden with the season barely a month old, the Dukes are playing in

games they might have to look at as must-wins if they want to stay with the East Division pack, let alone finish near or at the top. Dukes coach and general manager Marty Abrams

knows the next stretch of the season is crucial for the club. “After the next 12 games, if we aren't .500, which is to say we need to win eight of the next 12, we really will have fallen

behind,” Abrams said. “This is the boat we are in and the one we are going to be in for a while. You play with cards you are dealt with and this is what we have to deal with right

know. Essentially, we need to get the work ethic out of this group because we know there is enough talent here.” Wellington managed to put it all together Sunday in

Oakville, blasting 14 shots at the Buffalo net and building a 2-0 lead over the opening 20 minutes. Abbott Girduckis jammed home a powerplay goal at 10:05 while newcomer Nathan Browne scored his first in a Dukes uniform later in the frame, blasting it through Buffalo netminder Alex Connal just under two minutes later. “We finally got a couple of breaks around the net, and I thought we had some great net presence,” Abrams said. “It wasn't the cleanest game but I'm glad we were able to open a lead on (Buffalo).” The second opened with a Joe McKeown goal at 2:11 and ended with another from the Cambellford-born sniper at 18:43 as Wellington established a 4-0 lead through 40 minutes. In the third, the Wellington continued to press and have success. Brandon Kosik scored his first as a Duke to go along with three helpers and Blake Peavy also scored as the Dukes lead 6-0 through the first 45 minutes. McKeown would cap off his day with a hat-trick goal at 7:41 but that effort was sandwiched by a pair of Jr. Sabres goals.

Some early deficits cost the Picton Pirates as the team took a single point out of a pair of games this week. The club made a strong comeback effort last Thursday, ultimately coming away with a 3–3 tie versus the Campbellford Rebels before falling to the Port Hope Panthers 4–3 on Saturday evening. Picton coach and general manger Ryan Woodward said despite the results, there were some positives to take away from the week's games. “The results are separate. We're not really focused on that right now, we're just evaluating by the effort and how we're playing the game,” he said. “Obviously there's a lot to work on, but we did see the positives in the negatives and that's something we can use to get better moving forward.” The physicality was certainly there as the Pirates

began their home-opener against the Rebels. Both teams got some big hits in as most of the play happened between the blue lines. Despite that fact, Picton seemed to have the momentum advantage as a scoreless first period wrapped up, with the Pirates out-shooting the Rebels 12–4. However, it would be Campbellford getting on the board first. With Devin McCann in the box for slashing, Nick Ferguson shovelled in the puck for the power-play goal. Just 36 seconds later Josh Hodge scored to double the Campbellford lead. Late in the second the Pirates ran into some penalty trouble and it cost them with William Lamoureux netting a second Campbellford power-play goal to make it 3–0 for the visitors. After what he said was a lethargic first 40 minutes, Woodward said his message to the team was to not give up.

“I don't want to see players quit. Obviously, it was an opportunity to see how players respond to adversity,” said Woodward. “We challenged our veteran players and our new players to show us what they are made of and I thought we came out with a lot better energy in the third.” At 7:48 into the third affiliate player Shaw Boomhower scored to narrow the gap. The goal seemed to ignite the Pirates as they out-shot Campbellford 15–7 over the final 20 minutes. With the clock ticking down the Pirates called goaltender Andrew Pearson to the bench. At 19:09 it was Boomhower again finding the back of the net to make it 3–2. “Once we got one, the energy really seemed to lift on the bench and we were back into the game,” said Woodward.

Wellington shows signs of consistent 60-minute effort in loss to Hamilton

DUKES, from page 20

Despite that, the netminding of Oliver Lafrenière was rock solid and the 16year-old picked up his first win of the season. “The win gives him confidence and he's been good overall,â€? Abrams said of the Ottawa 67's draft pick. “He will have his ups and downs as all young goalies will. He wasn't tested early but he played well the last half when Buffalo pushed back.â€? In terms of work and team play, Abrams was happier with the effort turned in by Wellington 24 hours earlier in a contest against the Hamilton Red Wings. The Dukes blasted 50 shots on the Hamilton net and only the goaltending of Winged Wheel goalie Alex Bishop kept Wellington from gaining at least a

point out of the contest. “We played well against Hamilton and I was pleased with the effort and work ethic,� Abrams said. We played a consistent 60 minute game and until that point, I hadn't seen that from this group. They played a whale of a game and if we can get that type of effort, we will be happy.� Down 2-0 after one, Wellington got on the board in the second when newcomer Francesco Tolfa fed McKeown at 5:14 to carve the Duke deficit to a goal. McKeown's volley was one of 24 sent Bishop's way and the Dukes looked ready to breakthrough at any second. In spite of carrying the play, Wellington was snake bite at the end of the frame was Red Wing Jonathan Prasnjak beat Dukes start

Taylor Welsh and the clock, restoring the Hamilton two goal lead with just second remaining in the frame. McKeown and Kosik would set Girduckis up early in the third and Wellington was again just a shot away was they out volleyed Hamilton by a two-to-one margin but the offensive pressure lead to an otis Goldman goal in the late going to finalize the scoring at 4-2. On Thursday, Wellington couldn't get much going offensively as they gave up five goals in the first half of the game en route to a 5-1 loss to the Vees. Andrew Coupland broke up the Matt Penta shutout bid near the end of the second with a powerplay blast. Assists went to Marco Azzano and Luc Brown. 'Round the 'Roc: Browne

was picked up from Trail for future considerations. Tolfa was added from the Alberta Junior Hockey League's Brooks Bandits last week...Girduckis leads the club in scoring with

eight points (five goals + three assists)...Wellington didn't get much help from the field this weekend as every East Division team swept their games at the Governor ’s Showcase...

Wellington welcomed back Dylan Mascarin and Azzano back into the lineup after prolonged injuries...Defenceman Joe Leahy was released to make room for Browne.

Picton to face Napanee at home tonight

PIRATES, from page 20

Just 16 seconds later Phil Smith scored another goal with the extra man to tie things up and send the game to overtime. “Obviously that neversay-die attitude is important. The earlier they can learn to play that way, and to recognize they're never out of a game, the better,” said Woodward. With the Empire league discontinuing shootouts over the summer, a fiveminute three-on-three overtime period followed. Ultimately, neither team could find the back of the net and each team took away a point for their effort. It was the Pirates' first experience with the new overtime format. “It's good for the fans. It's going to provide a lot of offence,” Woodward said. “I don't think you're going to see too many games end in a tie once teams get used to practicing a little bit of three-on-three and understand the structure and their options.” Woodward said 16-yearold Austin Labelle had a strong game and the club got great performances from affiliate players Boomhower and Aidan Girduckis. Overall, Woodward said the team has to play consistently for 60 minutes. “When you have too many passengers you have to lean on guys to play more minutes than they should be and the results aren't going to be there,” he said. “We're hopefully going to learn from our

mistakes and get better moving forward.” He said while the first 40 minute didn't showcase the team's best play, the final 20 and overtime were encouraging. Saturday the club hit the road to face the Panthers in Port Hope and again the team found themselves in a hole. The Panthers took a 2–0 lead into the first intermission, but the Pirates stormed back in the second to tie things up before the start of the third. Just 1:31 into the final frame, Port Hope's Chandler Gillespie made it 3–2 for the Panthers. With 8:32 left, Dylan Baxter scored to make it 4–2. Again the Pirates didn't quit and came back to make it 4–3, but the team couldn't close the gap. Jordan Guindon, Calum Kennelly, and Chris Jones had the Picton goals. “It was a solid game. Port Hope is a good, strong hockey club and they have a lot of veterans,” said Woodward. “We've got a young players just getting their feet wet within the league and again we found ourselves behind the eight ball down 2–0.” Woodward said the team challenged to try to the tie things up until the dying seconds. He said some mistakes led to goals and the team has to learn from them. The Pirates will face the Napanee Raiders tonight at 7:30 in Picton before hitting the road to Amherstview to face the Jets on Sunday night at 7:30.

In memory of a Daughter, Mother and Aunt, who was taken from us suddenly on 07 October, 2013. The moment that you died my heart was torn in two. One side filled with heartache; the other died with you.

I often lie awake at night, when the world is fast asleep, and take a walk down memory lane, with tears upon my cheeks. Remembering you is easy, I do it every day; but missing you is heartache that never goes away.

I hold you tightly within my heart; and there you will remain. Until the joyous day arrives. That we will meet again.

Lovingly remembered by Mother Dianna, Daughter Mina Marie, Sisters Sherri and Serena and their families.

Johnson- In memory of Rory Patrick Johnson, December 9, 1981-September 30, 2012. Now two years have passed. Lovingly remembered and thought of daily. Mom, Dad and Kelly. shaLKa- My Mother, Myself I glimpse a reflection My heart skips a beat Is it me or my mother on Elizabeth Street? So curious and friendly with people she meets, Elizabeth Shalka Though now departed We continue to meet. Louise. In

ReiLLY, Frank

Very sadly on September 15th at his home outside of Lake on the Mountain, Frank Reilly passed away surrounded by his wife, Nancy, son Joel (Caitlin) (Toronto, ON ), brother Kevin and sister in law Jan (Stock, England), sister Madeleine and brother in law Achilleas (Isle of Wight, England). Other family and friends had just been to see him and tender moments and of course, the Irish joke or “the crack” had been exchanged. Frank came to Prince Edward County to fulfill a dream: the challenge of building his own house relatively by himself. He was a new settler with a dream. We met a lot of good people who had a hand to share at different times. They are warmly thanked! He made his mark on family, friends and acquaintances by being frank by name and nature. He believed in honest, real relationships. At 40, he had an epiphany that life should not be wasted. He became much more in tune with his relationships with others and relished in depth political and philosophical and spiritual discussions. He was most respectful of subjects important to others.

ON THE ATTACK Vanessa Willis, seen here in the

PECI Junior Panthers’ opening game last Monday, had a big performance at Quinte Christian Thursday scoring 16 points in a 29-10 victory. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

Basketball Panthers sweep Quinte Christian

Going into the Bay of Quinte season this year, PECI junior basketball coach Rob Garden said Vanessa Willis would be one of the most dominant players in the loop. On Thursday, the Grade 10 sharpshooter again showed why her coach has such confidence in her as she scored 16 of her team’s points in a 29-10 road win over the Quinte Christian Eagles. Willis really stepped up her efforts in the third quarter with half of those points coming in that period alone. By that time, however, the Panthers were already comfortably in front as they shut out the Eagles in the first quarter and managed to allow just two points against before the break. The Panthers had five other contributors with baskets including Casey Hegadorn who hit an early three-pointer in the win. The Senior Basketball Panthers grabbed their first win of the Bay of Quinte campaign that night also as they grabbed a 30-16 triumph. Hannah Smith would be the story in that contest as she found the basket for 14

In Marmora on Saturday, the Kings flexed their offensive muscle early, routing their Tweed Hawks 10-2 in the tournament opener. Daiken Jones set up Liam Philip in the first minute of the contest and then added another pair of goals to stake the Kings to a lead they would never relinquish. Other scorers included Brody Partridge (three), Philip, Brady Murphy and Haydn Blakely. Helpers went to Cameron Osterhout, Ethan Stasko (two), Keagan Zantingh, Charlie Smith (two) and Dante Closson. In the second game the locals needed a little overtime magic to get past the Stirling Blues in the play-in game. Partridge and Philip each scored in regulation thanks to Smith and Closson and then it was Partridge blasting home the game winner in the extra frame to punch the Kings ticket to the A finals. In the finals, the club met with the AA Belleville Bulls who wasted little time humbling the locals but the A finals appearance for the squad was a sign of things to come for the club. The next day, the Kings were in Gananoque for their season opener and County crew rolled to a 7-2 win. Jones scored in the first minute and Partridge doubled the Kings lead a minute later. Partridge would add three more while Osterhout and Philip also found twine. Assists went to Jones (two), Smith, Blakely and Philip. Jacob Shepard was the prince of the pipes for the Kings, keeping the Islanders off the score board until late

Gerritt Kempers notched the Kings first goal with help from Emerson Byford while Grimmon potted the game winner on a nice individual effort.

The development is currently being evaluated for a Class Environmental Assessment for Provincial Parks and Conservation Reserves. A second Municipal Class Environmental Assessment is being undertaken concurrently for the proposed roundabout that could encompass municipal and park lands. A traffic impact study is also to be completed for the project. Routhier said the proposed site currently provides a habitat for the eastern medowlark and bobolink. He said a replacement habitat will be created in the adjacent lands. While there is no firm timeline for the completion of the project, Routhier said the environmental assessment for the campground is expected to be completed this winter. The assessment for the intersection is expected to follow shortly after.

the previous administration. It all has to be reviewed, there's no doubt about that.� Ferguson said he couldn't boil down Prince Edward County's problems to one main issue heading into the October election. “There are lots,� he said. However, he did say it's critical to preserve the municipality's heritage and agriculture assets and to

maintain the affordability of the county. “We've got to get the tax base spread out a bit so it's not on the residents to see consistent increases in taxes,� he said. “The tax increases have to be tied into the cost of living.� He said regular five to six per cent tax increases could drive residents — especially seniors — from their homes.

ularly includes local features and submissions from South Marysburgh residents. Ferguson, a Milford resident, said he has several important reasons for running in the Oct. 27 election. Among those reasons is making life in the county more affordable for small businesses and individual residents alike. He said preserving services at Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital, business attraction, and industrial wind turbines are all among his major concerns. “Turbines are very important because we're ground zero,� he said. “So is the hospital because its proximity to South Marysburgh. Taxation is certainly an issue.� However, Ferguson said he wouldn't criticize the direction the municipality has been heading — and by extension the current council — without first knowing all the details. “It all just gets back to taxation. If there isn't some responsible development, if new businesses aren't brought here — that has an impact on the affordability of the county,� he said. “I'm not going to come in and trash

Mayne looks to represent South Marysburgh voters Service clubs offer Candidate would letters of commitment seek direction from his constituents to splash pad project PAD, from page 1

“With some of the recirculating systems we're finding they're not doing enough to limit outbreaks of cryptosporidium which has been making some children very sick in Canada and the U.S. That's not a concern for free-flow splash pads,� he said. He said new provincial regulations for recirculating systems mandate the water be tested half an hour before opening and every two hours after. The regulations also call for turbidity (cloudiness caused by particles) monitoring and active ultraviolet sterilization units. He said those aren't required with the free flow system. St. Jean, who is also president of the Kinsmen Club of Picton, said he called a meeting with several other service clubs. “The support was absolutely overwhelming,� he said. He said several of the groups have already submitted letters of commitment to the project. He said other sponsorships and partnerships could also help the municipality offset ongoing costs. Quaiff asked for a commitment from the municipality to allow access to the

space, and to assume ongoing operation and maintenance costs. She said the commitment would allow the committee to move forward with fundraising efforts. She said several local municipalities have found their splash pads generally cost less than $30,000 per year to operate. Ultimately, committee of the whole voted to update an existing report on the project and have it brought forward early in the next term. The splash pad had last been discussed when a report was circulated to councillors at a June 13, 2013 committee-of-thewhole meeting. At that time the report was removed from that agenda and no decision on the project was made at that time. That staff report estimated the total annual operating cost of the splash pad at $27,710, not including expenses associated with increased washroom usage. However, that number came with the assumption the splash pad would use a recirculating water system. An earlier staff report from February 2013 estimated a free-flow water system could cost close to $44,000 per year for water alone.

Kyle Mayne is hoping to become a conduit for residents to bring their ideas to the council table if elected to represent South Marysburgh this month. The Ridge Road resident operates his own business, providing woodworking and handyman services and making duck calls. While he has no prior municipal experience, Mayne said running for council is something he's always wanted to do. “I want to represent the people, there's a lot of ideas people have and I just want to represent them and take it to the council,� said Mayne. “I want to do something instead of sitting back all the time.� He said he doesn't have a set list of priorities for South Marysburgh, and instead will seek guidance from the voters. “My main concern is to represent the people and what they want and we'll go from there,� he said. Mayne said one issue that is on his radar is the invasive giant hogweed that is springing up in dif-

ferent areas across the country. The plant is poisonous — its sap can cause burns on skin and blindness if it makes contact with the eye — and can be misidentified as cow parsnip. “We promote tourism and to have this kind of

thing and (it would be wrong) to do nothing about

it,� said Mayne. “I'm not sure if council could do anything about it, but it's something the people need to look into.� Overall, Mayne said he believes the municipality is heading in the right direction. He said the county is in a good position. However, he said roads are a huge issue in Prince Edward County, partly because of public expectations and partly because of a limited budget that can be derailed by unforeseen circumstances. “Last year we had a tremendous amount of snow and they sometimes had to jiggle things around. They say this year we're going to get as much snow or more,� he said. “It's not easy for the county to do what they're doing and still do a good job when they have to jiggle things around.� He said he'd have to look at the whole picture before making any conclusions as to what could be done about the roads situation.

ARIES (Mar 21/Apr 20) Aries, though you are usually up for a conversation with someone you don't know, this week you could be in a more conservative mood. You'll have future chances to chat. TAURUS (Apr 21/May 21) You have been on a shopping binge of late, Taurus. If you have unlimited funds, this would not be so problematic. But finances are tight, and you should be more cautious. GEMINI (May 22/Jun 21) Gemini, you are often an entertaining and fun person to have around. This is probably why you get so many invitations to parties and other social occasions. Enjoy your fanfare. CANCER (Jun 22/Jul 22) Surround yourself with children this week, Cancer. They'll provide the unedited, honest information you desire right now. It can certainly be eyeopening. LEO (Jul 23/Aug 23) Spend some quality time with a romantic partner this week, Leo. He or she can provide more of what you need, such as true affection and companionship, than what's offered by friends. VIRGO (Aug 24/Sept 22) Virgo, you deserve credit at the office. If you're patient, some measure of recognition will come your way this week. It's a start to getting what you need.

LIBRA (Sept 23/Oct 23) Few people will accuse you of being uncommunicative, Libra. In fact, you're usually downright chatty. It's one of the traits people will admire most in you this week. SCORPIO (Oct 24/Nov 22) Scorpio, a new person comes into your life and your attraction to this person catches you off guard. It's okay to flirt, but if you're already attached to someone, leave it at that. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23/Dec 21) Sagittarius, you're often the one to take the lead in conversations in your group of friends, but this week someone else takes the lead. You're content to sit back and simply listen. CAPRICORN (Dec 22/Jan 20) Capricorn, once you have gained enough confidence in a special interest, you may be able to turn it into a career instead of just a hobby. Keep working toward that goal. AQUARIUS (Jan 21/Feb 18) It's time to tie up some loose ends, Aquarius. Rustle up some energy to take care of all those little things that need to be wrapped up. You'll feel a weight lift afterward. PISCES (Feb 19/Mar 20) Pisces, increase your level of activity this week. Exercise can do you a world of good, especially if you've felt sluggish of late.

Parking changes proposed for streets in Wellington and in Bloomfield Committee of the whole supports restrictions on south side of Bloomfield Main, both sides of Lakeview Avenue and Wharf Street Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

It looks like some parking bylaw changes will be coming to Wellington and Bloomfield. Committee of the whole voted in favour of a motion last week to change parking restrictions on several roads. If approved by council at their Oct. 14 meeting, the south side of Wellington Street from Bloomfield Main Street to the village limits would become a “no parking” area at all times. So, too, would both sides

of Lakeview Avenue from Wharf Street to East Street in Wellington, and both sides of Wharf Street from Wellington Main Street to the street's end. A staff report circulated at last week's committeeof-the-whole meeting says Wellington Street in Bloomfield is well travelled — especially in the summer. “When yard sales and other events are held on Wellington Street, any vehicle that stops or parks in the east bound lane (south side) can only pull

to the curb which then blocks the entire east bound lane of traffic,” the report says. “There have been several near misses with vehicles and pedestrians over the past two years and the OPP have been called to attend the area as well. There is sufficient area for parking on the paved shoulder on the west bound lane (north side).” Lakeview Avenue in Wellington is a narrow two-lane street south of Wellington Main Street which connects Wharf

Street to East Street. The report says parking on either side would block part of the travelled portion of the road. The report says Wharf Street south of Wellington Main Street is narrow and has private parking lots on both sides for more than half of its length. “Beyond the parking lot on the west side to the entrance to the Devonshire Hotel, any parking would interfere with a delivery vehicle’s ability to use the loading bay at the Foodland store,” the report

says. “During the renovation and construction of the Devonshire, with contractors and employee vehicles parked on both Wharf Street and Lakeview Avenue, it became apparent that travel was difficult through the area and (would impede) the ability of any large emergency vehicles to navigate those streets if needed.” Councillor Jim Dunlop said he supported the changes, but the key

would be making sure the bylaw changes are enforced. “My real concern is how we're going to enforce it. East Street is very narrow and if we had an emergency an ambulance or fire truck, there's no way it could get there,” said Dunlop.

THE PICTON GAZETTE

Home improvement projects you might want to skip MCC - Upon buying a home, new homeowners understandably want to start making adjustments so the home is a more accurate reflection of who they are. Many of these adjustments are minor, but even minor changes here and there can give a home a whole new feel. While there are many ways a person can turn a home into their own unique oasis, some home improvement projects may not be worth the effort, especially when homeowners decide to sell. Some projects may prove a little too personal, making them less attractive to prospective buyers down the road. Though it's within every homeowner's right to make adjustments to their homes (as long as those adjustments are in adherence to local laws), the following projects might come back to haunt homeowners down the road. Sports Complex Sports fans often dream of erecting a backyard basketball court or adding a tennis court to their property. But such projects are among the more expensive additions a homeowner can make to his or her property, costing more than popular projects like kitchen remodels or room additions. What's more, real estate professionals note that

homeowners can expect to recoup little, if any, of the cost of adding a basketball or tennis court to their properties at resale, while more popular projects tend to recoup a substantial amount of a homeowner's initial investment. Luxury Shower Installing a luxury shower, such as a multiheaded steam shower, can add a splash of resort-style luxury to your home, but it likely won't add much to your sale price. Though costs for such additions can vary significantly depending on how grand you choose to go, real estate professionals warn that a luxury shower is unlikely to recoup much of its initial cost at resale. If you simply must give your bathroom a more luxurious look but still want to be a responsible homeowner, look for a low-cost addition. That can take some of the sting out of not recouping much of your investment at resale. Fully Furnished Home Office More and more men and women are working from home, and some homeowners might feel that transforming a room in their home into a fully functional home office is a great investment. But some buyers might be turned off by a room that can no longer

function as an extra bedroom. The cost of converting a home office into a more traditional bedroom may compel prospective buyers to keep looking or make a lower offer on your home. While a home office might be a good idea, avoid making an exclusive home office room during your renovation.

Home Theatre Few homeowners would scoff at installing a home theater in their homes, but the impression of home theaters as a luxury only the super wealthy can afford might turn prospective buyers away from your home. Potential buyers may be impressed by a fully functioning home theatre complete with surround sound, lighting, a big screen, and all the other fixings synonymous with home theaters, but when they go home to discuss their options, they may feel the home theater is a luxury they can live without and opt for a more affordable home without a theatre instead. A dream home means different things to different people, so homeowners should keep in mind the reactions of potential buyers before adding too many personal accents and additions to their homes if they plan to sell down the line.
