If you had a giant hankering for all things orange on Saturday, all roads led to Wellington. The 18th annual Pumpkinfest and giant fruit weigh-off was held in the village under darker skies but for the most part, the rains held off and made for a fun, if not chilly affair. The side events and attractions such as the annual parade, the apple dumpling sale and events at the park gave way to the annual weigh which attracted growers from all over Ontario. In the end, it was a pumpkin from Pembroke that was the big winner in 2014. Father and son growers Brant and Brandon Timm showed up with a leviathan potential jack-olantern tipping the Toledos at 1,675 lbs. The fruit was created by cross pollinating champion varieties from California and Rhode Island. The elder Timm said he and his son felt pretty confident in their entry when they loaded the pumpkin Friday evening for the long drive to Prince Edward County. “You never know until you weigh these things in what's going to happen but I had a pretty good idea this was a heavy fruit,” Timm said.

The 2014 winner was started on April 20, transplanted on May 1 and finally pollinated on July 3. A grower since 1999 and a regular entrant at the Wellington Pumpkinfest event, Timm grows his giant fruit at his home inside the city limits. “I think they think we

are nuts sometimes,” Timm said when asked what his neighbours think when they see giant gourds and pumpkins start springing up in the late summer. “They see the time and effort we spend on these things but we enjoy it.” Locally, the 2014 growing season was the poorest

in the past two decades and the worst since 1992 in terms of heat units. Timm said that was the case in his area as well. “We had a lot of the same challenges. The heat units were way down and we had a lot of days with no sun so it was always a challenge to keep things

healthy and growing but what happened here today made it well worth it,” Timm said. “Having a personal best and being able to accomplish it in a very tough growing season is really satisfying.”

A baby was born on the stage of the Regent Theatre last Wednesday night as some 400 people looked on from their seats and shared in the excitement of the new arrival. Okay, so no one literally gave birth at the downtown Picton landmark that night, but as 99.3 County FM called a doctor to the backstage area, played crying noises, and spoke about their creation, hundreds of proud volunteers were gleaming about the new life being brought into their community. Officially, that evening,

Regent Theatre manager Bob Schroen threw the symbolic switch that would see the new not-for-profit community radio station go onair full-time. Local band Instant Rivalry played the first song — “County FM's Everywhere", a clever, local adaptation of Johnny Cash's "I've Been Everywhere" and several local bands jammed the night away in celebration. Interspersed between the many talented musicians who gave of their time, some of the volunteers who will serve as on-air talent gave previews of their shows, some of the 42 regular programs in a weekly schedule that launched for

P U L L - O U T

the first time this Monday. "The night was perfect. It couldn't have been planned any better," said station supporter Peter Morkis. "It really showed that this is real." Of course, getting a radio station on the air doesn't simply come with the flip of a switch. The station's interim general manager J.J. Johnston says to this point more than 150 volunteers have worked to complete public consultation, find CRTC approval, market, solicit membership and corporate sponsorship, set up the tower and studios, draft the programming schedule, and complete testing.

Vincent said. In terms of local growers, Northport's Noah McGill, 11, was winner in the giant cabbage (74 lbs) and watermelon (51 pounds). The Timms also won the giant tomato category with a 5.46 lb whopper. Vincent added the event was a success thanks to the dedicated sponsors, volunteers and local businesses that step up to help Pumpkinfest. “We get a lot of support from the community and we certainly can't have this event be such a success without that support,” Vincent said.

Weigh-off co-ordinator John Vincent said the 2014 winner was the second largest pumpkin ever weighed in the 18 year history of the event and was the third largest weighed in Ontario this season. “We are so happy to have it weighed in here at Wellington,” Vincent said. In terms of participating growers, the field was smaller than normal but Vincent attributed it to the summer conditions. “Given the year we've had I'm happy, we had a great event and lots of people stayed right to the end,”

It's a vital piece of harbour and the project needs to get underway as soon as possible he explained “I support the work take place right away in order to have an uninterrupted boating season in 2015,” Hobson said. “With regards to the physical barrier of landscape and traffic, I leave it to the creative minds on the harbour commission. I support those kinds of ideas that overcome those issues.” TICO#50007364

Epstein said securing waterfront for public use is very important and supports the new sub committee looking at ways to develop the harbour. “There are big design challenges with regards to the harbour and its connection to downtown,” Epstein said. “My vision for the harbour is a dynamic space that is busy and welcoming, with plenty of opportunities not only in the summer but the winter as well, maybe with a skating rink.”

Prospective Picton councillors joined the field of three mayoral candidates in the upcoming Prince Edward municipal election Thursday evening as the Picton BIA hosted a get to know the candidates meeting. The full slate of Picton candidates including Laverne Bailey, Phil St. Jean, Treat Hull, Stephanie Bell, Lenny Epstein and Ray Hobson joined Mayoral hopefuls Paul Boyd, Jeff Goddard and Robert Quaiff at Books & Company in front of over 100 interested voters. The meeting and questions from the audience focused on a number of topics mainly concerning Prince Edward County's largest town and businesses issues contained within the Picton town limits including a potential Picton bypass and the revitalization of the harbour. After introductions and brief platform presentations, the first prepared question had to do with a statement in the Downtown Picton Strategic Revitalization Plan, a proposal that was created almost a decade ago but has since been collecting dust. The plan identifies Picton Harbour as a valued asset that needs to connected better to the downtown core. When asked about what council should do about making the Harbour more accessible and incorporating it into downtown Picton, there were a number of views. Hobson said the new council will be faced with decision almost immediately when it commences due to

ber of downtown business owners to find out what their opinion was on the harbour. Bell said the =cohesive opinion was that businesses rely on boaters in the downtown and business owners are supportive of the improvements of the harbour. “Picton Harbour is a gem that needs some polish,” St. Jean said, calling to a number of previous studies. “There needs to be access and I support the idea of a town square idea and opening vistas at the top of the Town Hill...It's a great driver for our community.”

Countylicious lives on with adjusted recipe for success Chefs given more flexibility to craft their menus for November promo AdAm BrAmBurger

Staff writer

“Vote Jeff Goddard on Oct. 27th for Clear & Consistent Leadership”

Though Taste The County is no longer in business, another of its signature events will live on over the next month for its 16th session over the past eight years. With the leadership of The Merrill Inn's Edward Shubert and East and Main's Kimberley Humby, a group of restaurant owners brought together their eight establishments and solicited the help of the County's community development and communications departments to keep Countylicious alive. At a media event Thursday morning at Honey Wagon Farms to announce the continuation of the promotion running weekends from Oct. 31 to Nov. 23 and offering price fixed menus for $30 or $35, the County's

community development director Neil Carbone credited the restaurateurs. "The restaurants stepped up and said we need to continue with this," he said.

"Even with Maple in the County and Taste Community Grown, all the groups who had a big stake in these events have come forward, so the county has not had to take on a lot. We're working with them." Carbone said the County does not have a specific measurement of the success of promotions like Countylicious, but in the feedback from the restaurateurs and from other businesses, his department had a pretty good sense that they should remain as economic drivers. He has heard it from many people who benefit from tourism, such as accommodations providers and retail operators. Countylicous, in particular, helps extend their shoulder season. "What we have is a lot of people who expressed concern that this event and some of the others may not continue. If we have that, that's indicative of the ones that they're seeing people come through the doors," he said. "People are telling them 'We're here for Countylicious and we regularly come for Countylicious.' We recognize that value." In planning the publicity for the annual event, the restaurateurs also requested a bit more flexibility in format from the standard threecourse meal from past years. This year, it was left to the chefs to decide what they would offer, so long as they kept the fixed price concept. "It was something they came up with at their first meeting. It provides some more creativity and allows the restaurants to do their own thing instead of forcing

them to stay in a little box," said Carbone. "It's creative and it's authentic. It's even more keeping in what the county is all about." Elliot Reynolds of The Hubb at Angeline's in Bloomfield is one chef who will take advantage of the new flexibility. His regular menu is known more for smaller plates and share plates and he has said he'll structure the Countylicious menu in a similar manner. "We'll have $5 bar bites, $10 small plates, and $15 petit menus that you can mix and match," he said, adding he's also put duck porchetta on the menu for $60 to give couples a larger share plate that fits within the price criteria. Even though Countylicious is usually steady work for his kitchen staff, Reynolds said he enjoys the concept and the idea of cooking for a full restaurant. "It's an opportunity to see a lot of locals come out and it's all about trying to create special menus and enjoy the fall season. There are a lot of great root vegetables available now." Longtime county chef Lili Sullivan, who moved to the Gazebo Restaurant at Waupoos Estates this summer, said the event serves to bring awareness of the food being harvested in the county now. "It reminds people that there are still a lot of local products available," he said. "Our farm stands are full, there's still so much going on." Sullivan, who grew some of her ingredients right in her own garden, said the fall Countylicious follows a timehonoured tradition in farming communities. "It's like a harvest dinner. We have plenty of locally sourced, locally produced food available. We are celebrating what our farmers and producers do all year." Norm Harvey, the new chef at the Claramount Inn, said he would also tie in another aspect of local with his meal, focusing on the county's emerging beverage sector. "Our menu is themed around local wine, beer, and cider," he said. This year's participating restaurants include The Agrarian, Amelia's Garden at the Waring House, Clara's at the Claramount Inn, The Drake Devonshire, East and Main Bistro, The Hubb at Angeline's, The Merrill Inn and the Gazebo Restaurant at Waupoos Estates. Full menus are listed at www.countylicious.com. Reservations are highly recommended.

Consultants selected for Picton fire hall Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

The municipality will be moving ahead with the design stage for a new 8bay Picton fire station and ambulance base following a council vote last week. The bid of Colbourne & Kembel, Architects Inc. totalling $211,560 for prime consultant services was approved by council at their Oct. 14 meeting. The company was the lowest bidder. A staff report presented to councillors at the meeting says Colbourne & Kembel have been notified that when the design is at the stage for a Class B assessment â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which will allow pricing estimates at a +/10â&#x20AC;&#x201C;20 per cent range â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the information will be presented to the new council who can decide whether to move forward with a tendering process for construction.

The report says four submissions were received for the project with Colbourne & Kembel ultimately being selected by the project steering committee, which consists of MHPM Project Leaders and senior municipal staff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Colbourne & Kembel, Architects Inc. have developed a good working relationship with the steering committee through the design of the Consecon station,â&#x20AC;? the report says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In this submission, they proposed using the same engineering firm that originally designed the industrial park and the storm water management pond on this property on this project. All other sub-contractors proposed have extensive experience with the design of a facility such as this which includes a fire station and land ambulance base.â&#x20AC;? The report says the steering committee has found the Kingston firm

accommodating throughout the design of the Consecon fire station. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In addition to a thorough understanding of the project goals, objectives and parameters of this new facility they have also proved to be excellent at meeting the schedule imposed and have proved very understanding with respect to the Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget constraints,â&#x20AC;? the report says of Colbourne & Kembel. Corporate services and finance commissioner Susan Turnbull reiterated at the Oct. 14 meeting that council would have the final say whether to move forward with the new building's construction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The direction that staff has is that we'll come back with a Class B estimate and at that time council with give us direction on whether to move forward or not,â&#x20AC;? she said.

PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY

Looking back in the

Picton Gazette 90 years ago — 1924

n W.C. Hunt opened a new brass factory in Picton that he expected would grow from a 40-person operation to one that could employ more than 200. Hunt completely remodelled a building in Picton to make it suitable to locate a hydraulic press and many other automatic drills and lathes. Hunt also built a foundry in an adjoining building to smelt the brass. n Most of the canning operations in the county ended operations for the year, except those who were staying open to process pumpkin. It was noted that the season ran two weeks later than normal that year, due to the large crop of produce grown on local farms. n Inspector G.F. Rogers completed his annual inspection of the Picton Collegiate Institute. He was mostly favourable in his commentary, crediting the school’s management and janitorial staff for running a well-kept facility. Rogers’ only concerns were the school’s ventilation and the need for additional chalkboards to be placed in classroom 11B.

70 years ago — 1944

n It was believed the No. 31 Bombing and Gunnery School at Camp Picton was soon to come to an end as a Royal Air Force training facility. Over the three years the British were training in Canada, there were seldom incidents of any unbecoming conduct. Many of the visiting airmen forged relationships with people in this community that would continue after their departure and some of the men married local women. n Dr. Maxwell MacOdrum returned from combat overseas and was the guest speaker at a Victory Loans rally at the Regent Theatre. MacOdrum painted a very grim picture of war and said it was much more gruesome than many of the photographs that had found their way back to the Canadian people.

60 years ago — 1954

n The people of Prince Edward County stepped forward to help Toronto residents dealing with flooding in the aftermath of Hurricane Hazel. The Picton Kinsmen Club was organizing local efforts to send canned goods to Ontario’s capital city, while all of the banks in the area were taking monetary donations. n A Prince Edward County cow topped the All-Canadian sale in Oakville. F.J. Webster’s five-year-old Garry New Chieftain Faith of Bloomfield, earned $1,350 at auction. An Alberta man was the lucky buyer of the three-time grand champion of the Picton Fair show.

20 years ago — 1994

n A fire was deliberately started in a PECI classroom during the early morning hours Thursday. Those responsible for the arson entered a second-floor classroom by walking along the roof and jarring loose a window. Inside, draperies were torn down and placed under a wooden teacher’s desk and that was set on fire. A VCR and overhead projector were melted in the room, the floor tiles were badly burned, and the walls were scorched. Assignments were lost also. n Athol Township council candidates indicated they would all support a proposed accessible transportation program .

The rise and fall of the purple finch

It was just a few kilometres from where we live when I saw my first purple finches. I was barely in my twenties, and was a relative newcomer to the ranks of the birding fraternity. Pretty much any species was a fresh entry on my life list! It was March and the birds were coming to a series of small hanging feeders that dangled in front of the living room windows. This was also my first introduction to misnomers. These birds, at least the males, were not purple, but looked more like they had been dipped in raspberry juice, then left out in the sun to dry. Their also host didn’t know too much about why they were there, except to consume vast quantities of sunflower seed, and wasn’t sure where they came from each spring, or where they were going, after they disappeared in April. The colourful sparrowlike birds simply arrived every March, without fanfare, and without revealing many secrets. When the birds first arrived at my own feeders, they numbered only two - a male and a female, and I was overjoyed to know that I was now going to experience my very own purple finches, albeit only two. By the end of the week, there were close to 75 purple finches that descended on my feeding station every morning, all of them vying for space at my small selffeeders, arguing amongst themselves with excitable notes that sounded more like creaky door hinges. In the afternoon, they retired to the backyard, in a grove of poplars, where they produced an ongoing musical warble that was as natural as the rippling of a mountain Prince Edward-Hastings MP Daryl Kramp was secure inside the Conservative caucus room Wednesday morning while authorities were in the process of locating at least one armed gunman at Parliament Hill. Kramp provided an overview of Wednesday's events to Quinte Broadcasting as he understood them. The local MP confirmed that

brook. We haven’t seen purple finches in such numbers for several decades. They are declining and bird feeder operators want to know why. The principal cause of the decline may be the absence of large outbreaks of spruce budworm. Some think the decline was caused, at least in part, to the appearance of the very similar house finch which exploded in numbers shortly after its arrival to eastern Lake Ontario in the 1970s. At feeders, the new arrivals were competitors. In aggressive interactions, the house finch nearly always won. Purple finches, in their traditional spring arrival at their customary bird feeders didn’t stand much of a chance. The house finch made its Ontario debut in 1972, interestingly at Prince Edward Point, and within 10 years were among the most common species at bird feeders all along the Lake Ontario and Erie shorelines. House finches, natives of western North Amer-

ica, were introduced to the eastern states around 1940, when caged birds were illegally released in New York. Purple finches were always more common in these parts during spring and fall migrations, than they were as a nesting species. They prefer coniferous growths, so are therefore more commonly encountered as a nesting species in the boreal forests, and only occasionally may be found nesting here, and are almost entirely absent from the extensively cultivated areas of southwestern Ontario. House finches on the other hand are quite at home nesting in a hanging flower pot, or in an ornamental wreath hanging on a door, which is where I found my first nest, in Bloomfield, in 1990. So, as a species that really isn’t into a set migration pattern like most species, preferring instead to move about from feeder to feeder in loose winter flocks, and has nesting habits not unlike those of the house sparrow, it already has the upper hand when purple finches arrive. Purple finches are treated as interlopers in a territory already claimed by more resident house finches. Purple finches are short distance migrants, wintering not far south of their breeding range. They don’t seem to be into the long drawn out migrations of insectivorous warblers, for example, that winter in northern South America. So where does that leave the hapless purple finch that some of us remember appearing in such flocks at our bird feeders in past years? Is the bird doomed to extinction, or perhaps local extirpation? Probably

not, but we will likely never enjoy the large numbers of past years when 50 or more at feeders every spring was the norm. Although similar, purple finches and house finches are not that difficult to tell apart. Male house finches are a rosy pink colour and very smooth, while male purple finches are larger and more robust. The females are easier to tell apart. The female house finch is grey and softly textured, lightly striped on the breast, with no noticeable facial markings. Female purple finches have coarser features, are more heavily striped and have a noticeable broad, white stripe behind each eye. Like most finch species, the purple finch tends to be cyclic, erupting in somewhat larger numbers across portions of their winter range, which is probably attributed to successes and failures in conifer seed crops. Last winter many purple finches stayed in the boreal forest because of bumper seed crops there. This fall most of them should migrate south of Ontario because many coniferous and deciduous tree seed crops are poor in central and northeastern Ontario. When purple finches leave Ontario in October and November, they return in mid-April to mid-May to breed. At feeders Purples prefer sunflower seeds.

he and fellow Conservative MPs were with Prime Minister Stephen Harper at their regular caucus meeting prior to the shooting of a soldier at the National War Memorial near Parliament Hill. It's believed after the shooting at the grave of the unknown soldier, the gunman stormed the Parliament buildings. Reports say the gunman

wounded a security officer inside the building before being shot and killed by House of Commons sergeantat-arms Kevin Vickers. While providing his understanding of a fluid situation, Kramp was still in lock down at the caucus room. “It's a tragedy that has taken place today,” Kramp said. Throughout the day, many

public buildings in Ottawa were in lockdown as the RCMP, Ottawa Police, and other law enforcement officials swept through the area searching for suspects and evidence. Military bases and other public buildings across Canada were also on high alert throughout the day.

New council will require leadership, resolve to get past restructuring issue

PAUL Boyd got it right when he said repeatedly in allcandidates’ meetings during this election campaign that there are many more important issues than council size for Prince Edward County to deal with next term. That said, Boyd got it wrong by stating the issue is not high on his priority list. There are many major issues that will face newly elected County councillors over that time and ratepayers have to hope that they’ll put in a group of people who can think on their feet and come up with ideas to keep this community competitive. One that did gain some traction was the condition of the roads in this municipality and the fact it would have to raise taxes beyond the consumer price index, which would put much more hardship on the many who struggle to make ends meet in this community. There was a lot of talk about going to the province and asking for more money, but doling it out in rural Ontario hasn’t exactly been the hallmark of the Liberal government, and they’ve already won their majority. Others talk about the need to make tough choices or to prioritize, but the budget has already been cut about as as far as it can be cut and there’s still a need. Other issues like providing affordable housing and transportation, youth retention, and economic development were discussed over the past couple months. Unfortunately, with so many new faces in the race, however, it was disappointing that there seemed to be a lack of new, innovative approaches to those issues. Undoubtedly, those issues will have to be discussed more often, but they always seemed to be overshadowed by the angst many are feeling about the way previous councils handled the issue of restructuring. While people can argue about the numbers of the vote in 2010 — a margin that gained a higher percentage of those who bothered to vote than almost any individual who ran in that election and likely more than any running in this one as well — there appears to be a vocal desire for that change to happen and for it to happen sooner rather than later. Perhaps, that will restore some faith in the governance model at Shire Hall. The fact of the matter is the issue of council size will continue to be a distraction in this municipality until it is ultimately changed. Time spent talking about boundaries and systems could be better spent talking about budgets and about potential capital improvements. And that, when it boils down to it, is where the previous council dropped the ball most severely. By not having a clear choice on the ballot for this election, they’ve saddled the new council to have to deal with this distraction and they’ve also left them with a system many believe is cumbersome to try to come up with a consensus on a a solution they cannot implement for another four years. None of that will be easy. Stickhandling around that issue, getting councillors moving in the same direction, and providing proper direction to staff is going to require real leadership, particularly in the first years of the term. Robert Quaiff has been there at Shire Hall before since amalgamation and took the lead on some key issues, despite the system, so that should be a favourable sign for him. Perhaps, however, voters may feel the need to bring in someone from the outside like Goddard, who has good ideas to reduce red tape, or Boyd, who has run a municipality before. It’s a big choice and not one to be taken lightly. Please get out and vote.

Retired teacher to share her inspiring story at library

The remarkable story of Allison Woyiwada, as recounted in the newly released book Allison’s Brain, will be the focus of the evening at the Wellington branch library on Tuesday, Oct. 28 at 7 p.m. Retired Ottawa music teacher Allison Woyiwada’s life changing experience began with horrible odours that only she could smell. She soon learned that this occurrence might be a sign of something as benign as a simple infection to Parkinson’s disease, or a brain tumour. The diagnosis revealed the latter. Allison’s Brain chronicles the life-threatening surgery Woyiwada underwent, the long road back to health, and her remarkable recovery made possible through music. Join us for what promises to be an inspiring evening with author Robert McMechan and Allison Woyiwada as she shares the account of her experience. Books will be available for sale and refreshments served. Also coming up at the library, on Saturday October 25, the Consecon branch presents Hauntingly Good Story Telling as part of Haunting in the Hamlet taking place throughout the village. Stories for families and younger children will be read at 11a.m. with really creepy tales for teens at 2p.m. All ages are encouraged to come in costume and there will be treats, too. On the Halloween theme, the popular Zombie Walk returns, this year followed by an all ages dance on Monday, Oct. 27. The fun starts at the Picton branch library at 5:30 p.m. for make-up touch ups and to gather before the walk that sets off at 6 p.m. Even if you are not part of the walk, we encourage you to come and watch the parade. The dance begins at 6:30 p.m. at the Picton Town Hall above the fire hall. Admission is $2. Note, this is not an event suitable for

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Athol resident of 15 years not on voter’s list this year Do not assume you are on the voters list, even if you have been voting here for years. This morning I found out that my wife and I have been left off the voters list for this election, despite the fact that we have been living and voting here for 15 years. How did I find out? I

could not find the card to tell me which poll to vote at. So I called the County and was told we are not on the list this year. And the county blamed MPAC— the provincial assessment people. Seems they send the list to the County, and the County does not check it for accuracy. The clerk’s office also

said I was not the first person to discover being suddenly off the list. But I was also told I could apply to be on the voters list. Just download a form, print it, fill it in, then send it to the clerk who will decide whether or not to add me to the list. Hmmm. It seems to me

the County does a very poor job of ensuring that its taxpayers get their vote. So please check that you have received your voter card and are on the list. Otherwise you will be told “Sorry” when you try to vote on Oct. 27.

We are now in the final few days before we cast our ballots. The decision , for me, and perhaps many others poses a grand obstacle . Many candidates have spent time and money to place their name before us. I thank them for that. Two very critical aspects of politicians and politics in Canada have always

dogged me. First in theory and practice, the councillor, MPP or MP , are selected by us to represent our wishes and hopes . Quite often, they make great promises at rallies and at our doors to make good our wishes. Once in office all these ideas are forgotten and we have them passing legisla-

tion that suits their personal needs or that of the Party in power. Second and equally important , once in power , their so-called expertise and promises are forgotten . the staff, in general, tells them what to do. In other jurisdiction, the lobby groups take over I am leaving this country next week in part because

the system we live under has been corrupted and in need of drastic reform. My hope and prayers are that someday soon you will begin the process that forces those in power to change , listen and respond to us the voters.

Why do candidates (past and present) never mention that there could be environmental issues in Prince Edward County? Hastings and Prince Edward County area was labelled a "hot spot" for

cancer and cancer deaths by the Ministry of Health as far back as 1998-2000, according to an article in the Belleville Intelligencer at that time. Also when I lived there for approximately 12 years,

there were families with two and three members who were sick or had passed away from this dreadful disease. I thought council members were elected to look after the welfare of their

constituents and also represent them. Would this not include all aspects of their health and well being or is it all about businesses, roads, sewers and money, and not the environment or the sick

Environmental issues seem low in candidates’ priorities

Candidates hushed by vocal lobby against wind, solar?

From the stated positions of most candidates running for Prince Edward County council, it seems we're about to elect far too many climate change deniers. Alternative energy

(wind and solar) are here to stay. The feed-in tariff (FIT) program has been very popular throughout Ontario and is the main reason we can now retire coalburning power plants.

Candidates go on about job creation in the county, but I have not heard a single one mention the employment created by the installation of solar panels. Have candidates become

hushed by the hysterical reactions of the the vocal few demonizing alternative energy? Wesley Weese Carrying Place

Council can be downsized without changing historic boundaries

Michael Wannamaker accept this year’s club donation from Kinsmen president Phil St. Jean. (Submitted photo)

Yes we can downsize our cumbersome 16-member council without changing ward boundaries. The two northern wards could together elect three councillors. Picton and its

neighbouring Easterly wards could elect three. And Wellington with its neighbouring Westerly wards could elect three. Our more compact 10 member council would have

equal representation from each of three major regions in the county, and everyone would have an equal vote for the mayor. We would achieve a more effective downsized council and fair-

ness for all. And there would be no changes to our historic ward boundaries.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Figures don’t seem to support downsizing

I would like to refer to what I believe are the figures regarding the Review of council size. At the candidates meeting on Oct. 6, 2014, I stood up and mentioned that it is my understanding that 49.7 per cent of the eligible voters voted in the 2010 election. Of the 49.7 per cent that voted on the question to “Commence a public consultation process to review the size of council for the County of Prince Edward”, 80 per cent of those that voted were in favour to review the size of council. Therefore the figure that voted to review only the size of council — not restructure the wards — was less than 40 per cent of the electorate, not a majority of the electorate and not the majority voice of the citizens of Prince Edward County. This was not a mandate with 80 per cent of the electorate voting to reduce the size of council which seems to be what I read and hear. The Ameliasburgh councilors held a meeting and

explained to their constituents their reasons for rejecting the plan that was to be put to council for them to vote on. I was pleased with their effort to inform their constituents and their reasons for not supporting the plan. The plan was put to council and it was turned down for various reasons. I was at that meeting. At the Ameliasburgh meeting of candidates on Oct. 6 2014, I asked at the candidates if they would put any new plans for the size of council, representation and ward restructuring to the electorate in a vote as was done in the election of 2010? If it was important enough to put to a vote in 2010, then the restructuring of the number of council members, representation and ward restructuring should be important enough to put to the electorate. Many people have their own ideas about the size of council, some being as low as six. The review committee did not recom-

mend a number that low. Council may be a cumbersome size, but I am concerned about losing representation. If the wards are larger, councillors may want more money, so would there be real savings compared to less possible representation? The figures do not seem to support the rhetoric being quoted that there is a majority of the constituents that want council size reduced. I hope that this issue will be put to the electorate and not dealt withonly by council in an expedient way as a personal agenda for someone. Go out and vote! Talk to the candidates and be informed about their ideas and plans for Prince Edward County. Let’s have a better turnout for this election. I wonder if this will be printed as this seems to be information that is not in keeping with the opinions of some of the media. Lynda Zadan Ameliasburgh

With the upcoming election and few items coming up for consideration, council has cancelled its regular meetings through the remainder of October and November. A council meeting on Oct. 28 and a committee-ofthe-whole meeting on Oct. 30 were cancelled due to the election and council voted last week to cancel meetings on Nov. 11 and 25 and committee meetings on Nov. 13 and 27 with staff advising they do not have any reports coming to council for consideration. If at any time an urgent

issue arises, the mayor can call for a special meeting. Mayor Peter Mertens said the measure is common practice for many municipalities in election years. “This is actually pretty common,” he said. He said council's powers are limited because of its “lame duck” status. “There's really no opportunity to do any substantive decision making,” he said. The inaugural meeting of the new term of council is scheduled for Tuesday, Dec. 2 and 2015 budget discussions are tentatively scheduled for the week of Dec. 8–12.

Recycling schedule set to change

Quinte Waste Solutions is reminding county residents that their blue box recycling will be returning a schedule of collection every second week as of Nov. 3. The collection company is reminding residents that its trucks may start their routes at any given location

each week, so they are asking that blue boxes be put to the curb by 7 a.m. Schedules are being delivered through Canada Post or they can now be downloaded at quinterecycling,org.

Community Care uses several different formats to communicate with seniors, caregivers

As part of our ongoing effort to make sure that seniors know what services are available, Community Care is going to deliver a postcard in the mail to every household in the county. That’s 11,000 postcards that will be mailed out on Tuesday, Oct. 28. Make sure you look for it and keep it for future reference. Aging Well in The County is a weekly radio program about some of the interests of residents of our community who know how to grow older with grace and finesse. The program can be heard every Thursday afternoon on the County Grapevine 99.3 County FM. Aging Well in The County is a presentation of The Prince Edward County Community Care for Seniors Association. It gets underway at 12:35 p.m. every Thursday with yours truly serving as host. Watch the television show Seniors’ Support only on

show about the flu shot and shingles vaccinations for seniors. The December show will have two firefighters talking about fire safety for seniors. The January 2015 topic is hearing loss. There will be a demonstration of some devices that help seniors who are hard of hearing. This cable TV show is coproduced by the executive directors of Prince Edward Community Care and Community Care for South Hastings. Community Care’s web site has nine excellent – and short – videos about the programs and services offered by the agency to help seniors live at home. Real clients and volunteers talk about their experiences. Check these out today at www.communitycareforseniors.org.

computer scheduling software Digital Jukebox. "It's very easy to operate. The hosts have to learn about four or five buttons and the system takes care of itself." The station has capacity to save more than 2,000 items — songs, commercials and promos, and pre-recorded interviews or segments — into its library to play, so each host has the ability of finding his or her own content and bringing them in to have them preset in a playlist. They'll have the freedom to map out each hour of the show, with the system helping to manage the clock and ensure that elements such as commercials get in when required. Johnston said when

negotiating to come on board with the station, he insisted it had a 24-hour format so that it would never "go dark" when people were tuning in. With that, however, there was a demand for a lot of local content that would set the station apart from commercial offerings. When the lineup came together, Johnston said he came away impressed by volunteers' ideas. "There's a lot of quality and they're all good storytellers. That will be a key," he said. Johnston said many volunteer have come forward and in some cases, people are grabbing friends to do shows together, or even looking into doing shows as family. Though training that many people while doing tests and hosting himself — Johnston conducted the station's first interview with Frere Bros. Alec Lunn and Mark Despault Thursday morning — he said there was much more excitement in the groups he has been putting through their paces than in many professional radio hopefuls. "We have a really engaged volunteer team. There's some sexiness to be on the radio. There's some intrigue there and they're really excited to learn how it works." Among the shows that Johnston is excited about is County Grapevine, a magazine-style talk show that runs each day at noon. It has segments that include ask the expert, a health feature with Prince Edward Family Health Team executive Stephanie McLaren, an aging well feature with Debbie MacDonald Moynes, a feature about water with Chris Holder, and one about local culinary creations by Andrew Laliberte. Bill Roberts will cover movies and there will be arts and sports segments too. On the weekend, Carol Renaud and Lynn Pickering will look at literature. A weekly PECI show is planned, while there will be shows featuring various music genres like electronic dance, folk, jazz, country, and reggae to name a few. "It reaches a crowd from age 12 to 80. It's folksy and it's real," Johnston said of the format. "We also want to play a lot of county music and we want to have musicians drop in and play live if they can."

Some voters have difficulty reaching online polling site AdAm BrAmBurger

Staff writer

A number of county voters went online to register or vote this week only to find a blank screen staring back from their computers. The Gazette learned Monday that the web address supplied on voter cards mailed out to residents, www.intvoting/ PrinceEdwardCounty2014 was incomplete and did not take voters to the proper page to vote. County clerk Kim White confirmed the problem in

an e-mail that day when asked if any voters had shared the information with the municipality. “Yeah, a couple,” she said. “We are encouraging that if an elector has a problem, to visit our web site www.pecounty.on.ca.” On that site, under top requests, White said there is a link that works. She added the County was working with the service provider Dominion Voting to correct the link and by late Tuesday afternoon, the company had indicated that it believed it had fixed

the issue. Internet voting opened on Saturday and it will continue until 8 p.m. on the election night. When voters go online, they will be asked to register with the information that is found on their voter notification cards, including their voter ID, and first and last names. When voting,

ratepayers will be asked to supply a pin that they received when registering to vote as well as their date of birth and a verification code supplied at the time of voting. There will be 10 polling stations Monday. The County has an online tool to find them at the addressmaps. pecounty.on.ca/pollingplacelocator..

Radio vets prepared for sustainability challenge

STATION, from page 12

Three local newscasts a day, announcements that will help tourists and promote events, and some specialized programming like a mayoral debate last night also serve the community element. Richard Todd, an experienced broadcaster who got his start in Brockville in 1966 and was involved previously in volunteer-based radio in Vancouver was on the programming committee and is slated to host afternoons a week. He likes what he sees so far. "If we provide the information and content people in the county need and want, we'll be successful," he said. "We don't expect people to listen all day — some listen to CJBQ or CBC Ottawa, for example, and they're going to have their favourite programs they already listen to regularly — but there should be something for everyone." Todd credited Johnston for setting up an environment where many can contribute. "It's very well set up. The board is really easy to operate," he said. "J.J. is so experienced and the county is blessed that he's from here and he came back to offer his talents and leadership." Though the station has 400 members and committed sponsors, with a likelihood of

more commitments now that there's something tangible on the air, Todd said the challenge now is to keep the excitement level high around the station beyond the launch. "In six months to a year, we're going to have to sustain it," he said. Johnston agreed, noting that while one hurdle has been cleared to get on the air, costs will continue to be a factor the station's volunteers will need to work hard to address.

Goddard offers contrarian view and says he would support concept of Picton bypass DEBATE, from page 3

In Hull's view, Picton Harbour is a gift to the community which should be a showcase to visitors and residents and should be accessible. The candidate said the community development commission is doing important work and the harbour subcommittee could be a cat-

alyst for action. “If elected, I'd be very pleased to serve on the harbour advisory committee,” Hull said. In terms of mayoral views, Quaiff pointed back to the action plan created in 2005 that called for improved connections with downtown Picton, improved sight lines and vantage points and bet-

development there,” Goddard said, adding East Mary Street wasn't being utilized properly and that he couldn’t see tearing down buildings to provide better sight lines to the harbour. For Boyd, Picton is the hub of the county and it has been neglected due to council's continued inaction with regards to the strategic plan. “It's been on a shelf for 10 years,” he said.

dian Tire is viewed as a threat to many downtown businesses. The genesis of a proposed bypass and how a straightforward circumvention of Main Street traffic has appeared in a pair of County planning documents is unclear to most if not all candidates but the consensus was that a bypass was unlikely to ever see the light of day. Hull understood the concern of the BIA with regards to a bypass and called the initiative a “sword of Damocles” hanging over the head of downtown business owners. “The bypass is in a nevernever land right now and the County has no binding commitment with regards to a bypass. It's not in the official plan, although council could vote to change it at anytime,” Hull said, adding the Picton secondary plan has a strategy to alleviate congestion but a bypass was one of five strategies to be considered. “Once elected, council needs to act swiftly and clear this up,” Hull said “I think this is just sort of a planning artifact and it has no official status....There's no business case for a bypass.” Epstein figures the idea of a bypass creeped into the 2013 development charges study by way of discussion of the new age-in-place facility, new fire station and the new hospital that could necessitate a road for emer-

gency vehicles. But the candidate is frustrated by the lack of information about a bypass. “There's been so little public conversation about this,” Epstein said. “This is not a conversation that's happened in public, somebody and no one seems to know who, decided this is something we need to pursue.” He added he wasn't in favour of bypass, calling it a “boondoggle waiting to happen.” A former business owner in the downtown core that saw his business negatively impacted when the post office moved from six- to five-day service, St. Jean said a bypass would be the death of downtown. “I know how important it is to have the traffic downtown,” St. Jean said. Again, Bell polled the local businesses who told her it would kill the downtown. “Try and drive in downtown Toronto on any day of the year and you can't. It's vibrant, it's busy and it feels alive and that's how Picton feels in the summertime,” she said, adding that perhaps alternate routes around Picton for heavy trucks and vehicles could be better publicized. Bailey was a councillor the last time a railroad bypass was floated and he didn't support it then. “This would be the death notice of the Town of Picton. You've got to have people moving through Main Street, we have a hard job keeping our store fronts full as it is.” He said. “I would never sit on council and vote for a bypass that would kill the Town of Picton.” Hobson agreed with the term boondoggle and said council needs to deal with this proposal in a transparent way to ensure it doesn't happen., “I don't know who is complaining about the amount of traffic in downtown Picton. I don't think it's the BIA,” Hobson said. “Maybe the way traffic moves could be improved, but the amount is fine.” Boyd said he couldn't imagine where any talk of a bypass would come from let alone someone who would think a bypass would be a good idea. “Who would think of putting put up barriers in Picton? The locals know how to get around in the summer using the back streets anyway,” He said. Goddard was one of the few contrarians in the room and supported using the former rail line as a bypass, stating the initiative makes “perfect sense.” Goddard said he avoids Main Street like the plague when travelling to his office and from his window, he sees summer congestion caused by heavy trucks and trailers. “A bypass would allow us to develop and install infrastructure along it and reduce the cost of services like water and sewer by adding new users,” Goddard said. Quaiff said he wouldn't support a bypass as it would make Picton, a town in the centre of a tourismbased economy, a diverting community. He added the County already had 2,100 km of roads that it can't keep up with and it would cost in the neighbourhood of $500 million to bring up to standard so why add more? “I won't support it,” Quaiff said. “I didn't support it back in 2003 and I won't support it now.”

County Women In Business.... A Growing Economic Force

“The worst day on the farm is so much better than the best day in a cubicle.” That phrase uttered by Judith Burfoot - self-titled “newb farmer” and owner of Farm77, – sums up the gutsy approach of female entrepreneurs in the county, as they become firmly rooted in previously male-dominated roles -as the boss. This year’s Women History Month’s theme celebrating “Canadian Women in Business…a growing economic force,” recognizes that women are crucial to economic growth – especially in rural communities. Just take a stroll down the picturesque streets of Picton, Wellington, Bloomfield and enter a world of entrepreneurship where 99% of all busi-

nesses are either owned or managed by women. Women in the county are “doing it for themselves,” balancing parenthood, care for elderly parents, studies, marriages – and business. Statistics Canada's Labour Force Survey reports there were 950,000 self-employed women in Canada in 2011. Here in the county, many women have rejected corporate careers to pursue a more fulfilling - not necessarily easier, – and simpler existence. A lifestyle that stays true to self, connecting them to what is truly important, be it relationships, nature, creativity or community. Additionally, PEC continues to attract baby boomers retiring to the county, reinventing their careers and starting businesses as consultants, artists and niche retailers. Where options are limited for youth, a push towards the building of an entrepreneurial culture has spawned the funding of governmental initiatives. Such

is the Empowering Young Entrepreneurs (EYE) program, hosted by PELA CFDC and funded by the provincial government – “Ready, Set, Work”. Twenty-three youth ages 18 - 29 have received training and advisory services on entrepreneurship, and of these, 57% were female. What trends are changing the landscape of Picton’s small business community? In spite of the seasonal nature of several local businesses, Picton is on track for strong growth, well-positioned as a recreation and retirement-destination economy. Young females are a part of that trend, building on previously established foundations and using technology to re-shape traditional practices. Like EYE participant Kaitlyn, of Bells ‘n Tune, a proponent of “transparent farming,” who is opening the gates of the farm to educational tours. Female entrepreneurs are creating the charm and personality of businesses along our main streets. Women like Susan of Saylor House Café, creating that warm, inviting atmos-

phere topped off by tea in real china cups; or Tammy Love evoking mysteries from amidst her eclectic collections. And when you want to step off main street into an oasis of calm accompanied by customized service - all with a smile, check out Karlyn at The Lunch Box, another young entrepreneur and EYE participant. These are but a small segment of the amazing women of the county - the inspiration behind the growth of female entrepreneurship.

Prince Edward Community Care for Seniors has provided seniors with escorted transportation to medical appointments and essential shopping for 30-plus years yet many still don’t know it’s available to them. As the population ages in this community, there will be an increase in requests for services to support seniors. The recent Vital Signs report released by the Prince Edward County Foundation stated that “getting around” is a huge issue in the County and especially for seniors. Community Care is the only organization operating an escorted transportation service for this client popula-

tion with the involvement of volunteer drivers. A recent grant from the Stark Family Fund will support promotional efforts to make seniors and their caregivers more aware of the programs operated by Community Care to help transport seniors and recruit additional volunteers. The goal is to enhance the profile of the escorted transportation service. A promotional campaign will take place over the next month including a householder mailing (on Oct. 28) to 11,000 addresses. Community Care offers “kitchen table to kitchen table” service where the driver stays with the client the entire trip as

an escort, thus making this a suitable service for frail elderly people. Referrals are received from partnering organizations including direct requests from individuals. “The benefits of this program are that seniors who need a ride to medical appointments and essential shopping will know there is a way to get there” commented Debbie MacDonald Moynes, the executive director at Community Care. “Seniors are able to continue to live at home successfully even if they don’t drive, and caregivers are provided with much needed support”, says MacDonald Moynes. Recruitment of volunteers to help seniors is also an important part of the operation. These drivers provide rides to medical appointment and for essential shopping. It is anticipated that this campaign will encourage additional people to volunteer to boost capacity in providing this important service. “Our programs continue to have a positive impact on the quality of life of seniors here in the county and we anticipate that this campaign will continue to address the issue of getting around, highlighted in the Vital Signs report”, says MacDonald Moynes. -Contributed

Hallowell hopeful Fox hopes to see more engaged council during the next term Former Heights director has spent his whole life helping others AdAm BrAmBurger Staff writer

Gord Fox has been working to help people his entire life. Following a 28-year career at the Prince Edward Height Complex where he worked with people with developmental challenges and rose through the ranks to director, Fox sat on council from 2000 to 2006. He found in recent years, he missed the time he spent serving the public. "I enjoy it. I kind of missed doing it," Fox said. "I like working with people and helping with their concerns. I also like this county and think I have something to contribute to move in a positive direction." After a failed mayoral bid four years ago, Fox is running for one of two seats in Hallowell. One of the major issues that convinced him to enter the race was the way council operated this past term. "My key issue is that I want to see council engaged again. I think the communications between council, the mayor, the CAO, and the management staff is not like it used to be. I'm not sure they share information like they used to share information and that can keep projects moving forward." Fox said prior to the committee-of-the-whole set up, councillors would have regular meetings with department heads which would prevent things from

Kramp says Canada ready for Ebola scare

Prince Edward-Hastings MP Daryl Kramp said he is concerned about the Ebola outbreak, but believes Canada is prepared. In a news release Tuesday, Kramp said the Public Health Agency of Canada is meeting with provincial and territorial health officials to support their readiness. It has also assembled a team of public health experts and epidemiloogists experienced in infectious disease outbreak management. That team will work to investigate, support diagnoses, and help frontline health-care workers. Kramp also indicated there are no direct flights into Canada from the affected countries and all international points of entry are monitored around the clock. Those travellers identified as arriving from an affected West African country will be referred to a quarantine officer for a mandatory health assessment. -Staff

(Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff) falling through the cracks. One such example Fox cited was the fuel station at the busy Picton Marina, which was put on the back burner a few years ago and nearly shut down by the province last summer. "Not having fuel would have been catastrophic," he said. Fox stressed he was not talking about micromanaging, but rather finding ways to improve communication. He added that on some files, with councillors being on the ground in their wards they might have access to more information than staff at Shire

Hall have access to. With respect to the ongoing debate about bal-

ancing taxation with spending on infrastructure and services, Fox noted "It's a double-edged sword, there's no easy answer." He indicated that taxation is a necessary evil and suggested keeping it on par with inflation would make good sense. He indicated that putting off necessary capital work to keep taxes lower isn't always a wise move. "We need our infrastructure and our roads, we can't keep saying we're going to put that off. The longer we leave it, the more it is going to cost us to fix. We need to define what our absolute priorities are, set out a plan, and do it." In knocking on 1,300 doors thus far, Fox claims that council size and industrial wind turbines have been the two major issues he's heard about from residents. On the former, he said he would favour a reduction in council size, but wants to see historical

ward boundaries maintained in a new system. On the latter, he simply doesn't believe they are a good idea for this county. "I'm not in favour of industrial wind turbines being placed in Prince Edward County," he said. "I'm not against investigating alternative energy, but industrial wind turbines are not efficient, they're not financially viable, and most importantly, they're not green." Fox said he has heard about some issues that affect residents which fall under provincial jurisdiction. Policing costs, the viability of the hospital and schools, land ambulance services, and social housing

Wh a t ' s On

fall under that umbrella. There's only one way for council to work in response to those, Fox said. "The only way you can really do it is lobby, lobby, lobby," he said. Affordable housing, however, is one issue Fox says the county needs to get a handle on. "We have a lot of lowwage earners and seniors and that is going to make things difficult. The simple solution is that if everyone would pay a better wage, people could afford housing, but it is not going to happen," he said. "If we want to keep our workforce, we need to have affordable housing."

Experience is a key factor Keith MacDonald believes is in his favour this election. The incumbent Hallowell councillor has served on municipal councils for 37 years and was a Liberal MPP from 1987-1990 under David Peterson's government at Queen's Park. A hockey hero with the Belleville McFarlands who was an inaugural inductee in the Prince Edward County sports hall of fame, MacDonald is now a semiretired farmer who still loves representing constituents. "I enjoy doing things for people, even the little things like dealing with trees and roads. It gives me a great feeling to be able to help people," he said. "It's getting a bit harder to get things done, but if you're sincere — and I am — you can get things done for them." MacDonald said he feels that constituents can still trust that if they call him with an issue, he'll follow up with a phone call or visit and he'll bring their concerns up at Shire Hall. A recent example of that is work he's done to have a fence at Isaiah Tubbs Resort replaced with a snow fence the he hopes will make the causeway to Sheba's Island easier to maintain in winter, making travel easier. While MacDonald says the County's finances are in fair shape, he still has concern that it simply isn't bringing in the money it needs to upgrade its roads. He says he doesn't know where the

money is going to come from, but says adamantly "we can't go back to the taxpayer for extra money." With that being the case, MacDonald favours the municipality joining with others across eastern Ontario going to upper levels of government for financial support. He says a big consideration for him is ensuring that provincial parks and federal military establishments pay their fair share. "Sandbanks Provincial Park brings in 600,000 people a year and the spinoff is remarkable, but it is deteriorating our roads. They should pay their share," he said. "Those three provincial parks: Sandbanks, Lake on the Mountain and North Beach pay $351,000 in lieu of taxes. Mountain View pays $79,000, I don't think that's enough." He said he believes proportionately Quinte West

receives a higher level of contribution for CFB Trenton than the scale received from Mountain View and he'd like to see that reviewed. If elected for the next four years, MacDonald indicated he'll be happy to see the fire plan completed and said he feels he can take some credit that the county did not move forward with a station at the roundabout, noting the Picton industrial site is ideal and is land the county already owns. He also indicated he would like to see the next mayor and council debate council size again and ultimately reduce it. MacDonald indicated he would like to see one councillor per ward and a mayor, retaining traditional ward boundaries. MacDonald says he sees traditional strengths like agriculture and tourism being economic drivers in the future and says wineries and restaurants have helped

with a clear upswing in tourism over the past five years. He said he hopes to support those sectors any way he can. He indicated he hates seeing young people get educated then go to other parts of Ontario or even move away to places like Alberta to work. MacDonald said he doesn't believe factories are a viable solution, considering the 401 corridor is far away, but is intrigued by newer technologies. "We need to rely on the Internet," he said. "Young, educated people want to work online at home and with the Internet progressing, that will help them do that." With respect to the regular business of the corporation, MacDonald said he'd like to see fewer consultants used, but says there are still times they are needed, particularly in granting processes where upper levels of government require them. MacDonald said it is easy to say that council has handed over too much control to CAO Merlin Dewing and staff, however, people have to realize there are roles that each have to play under the municipal act. He did allow, however, that some change has to happen. "I am going to want more transparency," he said. "We need a better relationship between County council, staff, and the public. I want (the public) to know more about what is going on at that level." He said leadership will be crucial over the next term. "Prince Edward County is a jewel,but we have to be very careful how we polish it."

After more than 20 years working for Prince Edward County's municipal government, Brad Nieman is hoping to shape its operations as a member of council for Hallowell. Nieman previously worked in the County's water and wastewater treatment plants as he has obtained a Class 3 water certification and a Class 2 wastewater certification. A year-and-a-half ago, he moved on to neighbouring Loyalist Township as its supervisor of underground infrastructure, yet he still calls the county home and he's concerned about the direction it is headed. "Overall, it looks like the County is not moving forward, they're kind of spinning their tires," he said. "Talking to people in Hallowell, they feel that taxes are constantly going up and the level of services is going down. If we don't change things, I don't think we are going to survive." Nieman says he's always had an interest in politics and decided that if he was going to be vocal about the job the current representatives are doing, it was time to put his name on the line. "I've always said if you want to complain, you've got to be able to stand up and fill those boots." Nieman acknowledged that taxes do pay for many important things, like roads and infrastructure, and said he feels many constituents wouldn't mind small hikes if they are seeing some return. His concern, he said, is more with the amount of wasteful spending that seems to take place. "Every time you turn around, consultants are

being hired and we have professionals on staff who are more than capable. They have the education and the experience to make the decisions if they have the resources at hand. Why are we going outside and paying big money?" Another example of wasteful spending Nieman sees is one of the major issues he's heard about on the campaign trail, that being the size of council. He said council spent $25,000 for a consultant to look at the issue and set up a committee, just to stifle the progress they made. "We voted down their recommendations and that money was already spent," he said. For the record, Nieman would make council size a priority as he said "the size of council should be reduced. The people have spoken." He also has a unique view of that situation as the municipality he now works for has a council of seven (including a mayor and deputy-mayor) serving about 16,000 people, including the suburban area of Amherstview. "There's not as many voices, the smaller size is better," he said. "There's only five (councillors) here and they get a lot done." While Nieman possesses a certificate in management and leadership in a municipal setting, he also says it should be clear who is in control at that level of government, and that's not hired staff. "My feeling is council is at the top of the food chain. They're ultimately responsible to the people and they need to have some kind of control to get to know what's going on and to make people accountable,"

own home builder.

he said. "My understanding is that during the last term of council, they gave away much of their power to the CAO." Nieman says councillors have to be prepared to stand up and ask the questions their residents put them in place to ask, and to ensure they have the answers they need to effectively communicate. Transparency is also a key factor. He mentioned the County's age-in-place concept and recalled how few people, including those living in McFarland Home, knew about the building that was proposed to be

built in front of it, yet that almost passed through council. "There's a lot of things nobody knows are happening," he said. Nieman is also a certified in conflict resolution and mediation, which he says could be a real asset in a council setting. Mostly, however, he just wants to ensure he can properly represent constituents. "I think I can be a voice for taxpayers. I want to take their concerns and put them on the table so that they can at least get some answers."

Raising two young children near Consecon with his wife Jamie, Steven Graham has plenty of reason to take a vested interest in the future of Prince Edward County. A long-time sales, marketing, and new business manager with a major beverage company, Graham says he'd like to help make decisions that will ensure people here have options and opportunities to be successful. Graham noted he grew up in the county, always knew he wanted to live here and when he was married, made a conscious choice to raise a family here. Among the ways the council can attract and retain businesses and residents is to keep its infrastructure up-todate and upgrade it where possible. Graham said that will be one of his priorities if

attractions." Graham said he would like to work to bring councillors together to make that plan. Campaigning door-todoor, Graham said the other big issue that seems to be on people's minds in his ward is that of council size. Unlike many running for council, he hasn't developed a firm stance either way. "Some would say leave it alone, it wastes too much time at council and some wards would lose representation. Others will say council should be reduced and it would help speed up decisions and increase ward representation. I'm willing to look into this issue deeply from both sides." That illustrates a broader issue for Graham and that is the role of a councillor. He said he has heard that some current council members are split and they let their personal feelings about other members and about issues dictate their actions at the council table. That isn't his approach. "I believe that the role of a council member is to work together with your peers, get the facts, come up with solutions, make a plan, and execute it," he said. "I know it won't be easy, but you must have a good, positive approach and believe in what you are doing in order to have a positive outcome." Graham said he will bring open-mindedness to the role, along with leadership experience and common sense. He added he likes to be around people and get engaged. He encourages voters to take the time to cast a ballot. "I would like to ask people to please go out and vote, regardless of who you vote for. It's your right to do so," he said. "if you vote for me, you are voting for a young family man with a fresh voice who will bring new ideas to the table. I'm available, approachable, and a resident of Hillier ward."

Noxon looks to keep taxes in check, improve waste management, push for funds Ameliasburgh hopeful wants to improve councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision-making adam BramBurger Staff writer

Even before she moved to the county, Kathryn Noxon felt it was her home. She used to visit her grandfather's farm here every years and the memories prompted her to buy in West Lake. Noxon has been living in the county full-time for 12 years and just last year, she retired after serving as the executive assistant to Quinte Healthcare Corporation's president and chief executive officer and later, its board of directors. Her career also included stints as a nuclear medicine technician, in public relations, and as a staff member of the Ontario Bar Association. She learned much about governance models through those experiences and decided she wanted to apply them to a new challenge: Helping to preserve her home through service on council. "I decided to run because i believe in order to ensure we keep on track and keep what we value most â&#x20AC;&#x201D; our sense of place, our natural resources, and a place to live, work, and play for everyone â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it is time for a change and I have the skills and knowledge to make things happen." Noxon said she feels

October

council has struggled to make decisions and, too often, it has hired consultants to make decisions it could make using its common sense. Also too often, it has deferred pressing issues that could have been made in a timely fashion, decisions like revising council, moving on with its fire plan, and installing a splash pad for the youth. Among Noxon's top goals if elected in Hallowell ward are keeping taxes down, changing the waste management system, and pushing the provincial government to offer better funding, particularly for the toll of Sandbanks Provincial Park on infrastructure. She'd also push for safe roads for bicycling and ensuring access to waterfront by stopping commercial development there. On the subject of taxes, Noxon said she'd like to see increases kept in line with the consumer price index. She also said council needs to do a better job of prioritizing wants and needs. "We have to be more fiscally responsible," she said. "We have to cut spending, find efficiencies, and maximize revenues." That could be done, she said, by hiring few consultants, streamlining adminis-

tration, and pushing the provincial and federal governments to pay for their share. She added the county must also be diligent in managing the retirement of its $45 million debt load and consider that when looking at major capital investments. Noxon said she would like to see council size reduced and traditional boundaries maintained. She is also not in favour of industrial wind turbines or large-scale solar development. With respect to business growth, Noxon said she supports the community development strategic plan and says there needs to be a vision of what the county aspires to be as a community. She would look to capitalize on existing strengths, reassess permit approval processes, support existing cultural assets, and look to expand on new technological advances. In the end, she says success will boil down to transparency and collaboration. "I want decisions that are based on ratepayers' best interests that are transparent and done with due diligence. We need to work together. This is our "sense of place." This is our county. We need the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s input."

The fine field of exceptional local athletes grew by four Saturday night as a pair of horsemen, an olympic champion and an outstanding collegiate and professional golfer were inducted in the Prince Edward County Sports Hall of Fame in an entertaining ceremony at the Highline Hall. Elite Harness Racing horsemen Chris Storms and the late Rejean Boily joined Olympic Men's Eight Coxswain Brian Price and former professional tour golfer Mike Pero as the latest to be honoured in the three year old Hall which is located at south end of the Essroc Arena. Prior to their induction, Hall of Fame president Hugh Parliament said four more sportsmen were taking their rightful place in Prince Edward County history. “The people on this wall show a history of sport that once existed in Prince Edward County. Powerboat racing, hockey at the old Memorial Centre in Belleville and the DukeDome, softball, trap shooting, and now, harness racing and rowing,” Parliament said. “To the new the inductees: Enjoy your evening and be proud. You have worked hard and deserve the honour that is

about to be bestowed upon you,” he added. Deanna Mayfield introduced her father and spoke of the dedication Storms had to his career as trainer, owner and driver in the standardbred game. “Looking back at his career, my dad epitomized the essence what it means to be successful,” she said. Mayfield told of her father working at a local grocery store on weekends and after school to buy his first har-

ness race horse at age 15. Tragically, the horse was in a wreck in its very first race and was unable to race again. “Not surprising of what I know of my father, this did not deter him from pursuing his passion,” Mayfield said. Storms would get his start driving at Frontenac Raceway in 1970 and he soon learned what it took to compete in the dog-eat-dog world of professional harness racing.

This meant training numerous horses six or seven days a week and races on Friday, Saturday and Sunday with starts on the same day in different towns. But with all the hard work, there were rewards. Storms became a leading driver in Kingston and was a winner at tracks all over eastern North America. “The icing on the cake was joining him for a postrace photo in the winner's circle,” Mayfield added. Storms looked back in his 22 career during his acceptance speech and said he knew he wanted to be a horseman when he saw harness racing at a local fair. “I just loved it,” he said. While Storms raced, trained and owned scores and scores of horses, one of his best known animals was Kojak, a top three year old pacing filly in 1973. One time while racing in Montreal with Kojak, actor Telly Savalas, who played the character for whom the horse was named after and Storms was a fan of, happened to be staying in a hotel across the street. The race track secretary found this out and was going to have Savalas come over and perhaps take a picture with Kojak who was a renowned Standardbred animal. As luck would have it,

Kojak won and Storms waited and waited for Savalas to show up. “It turns out he wanted $10,000 to cross the street,” Storms recalled. A few weeks later on a rare night off at home, the Storm's were settling in to watch some television and Kojak was coming on. “They asked me if I wanted watch and I said I wouldn't watch that son of gun if he had the only show on television,” Storms said to laughs. Storms agreed with his daughter's assessment that harness racing was a dogeat-dog profession. “If you don't win, you don't eat. But if I had one true friend in racing, it was Reg Boily,” he said. In an unfortunate occurrence, Boily's widow was involved in a car accident Friday and the Boily family was unable to attend the ceremony. In a classy move, Storms accepted on the Boily family's behalf and reiterated how much he deeply respected the native Quebecker's 32year career, which included hundreds of wins at tracks all over North America. Inductee Mike Pero was a two sport star in his youth, serving as a member of three straight Ontario Minor Hockey Association title teams with the old Picton Minor Hockey Association.

Pero would graduate up through the ranks of minor hockey before moving on to junior hockey, spending time with the Junior C Wellington Dukes and the Junior B Trenton Bobcats. But Pero left a permanent mark on the county sporting landscape with a golf club in his hands. True to his dedication to youth and their pursuits, Pero was unable to make Saturday night's ceremony as he was with his son Cameron's Prince Edward County Kings Peewee entry at an international hockey tournament in Detroit, Michigan. Simone Pero offered a written address on her husband's behalf and in it, Mike Pero said he was fortunate to grow up in Prince Edward County and have some many positive teachers and administrators during his youth. Pero played many sports growing up but hockey and golf were his main athletic pursuits partly because of the seasons and the sports contrasted great experiences in team and individual play. Pero wrote he was proud of the three straight OMHA titles that his team was able to secure and added he was fortunate to be part of a great group of players.

Pirates roar back after loss to split pair with Rebels Coaching staff pleased with compete level over the past weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s competition Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

The Picton Pirates had one of their best games of the season as the club picked up a pair of points in a home-and-home series with the Campbellford Rebels this week. While they didn't get the win, the Pirates had a solid outing in a 3â&#x20AC;&#x201C;2 loss to the Rebels at home last Thursday. The team followed up the performance on Saturday with a 6â&#x20AC;&#x201C;1 blowout of Campbellford on the road. Picton coach and general manager Ryan Woodward said while it appears the team's young players are starting to better grasp the club's systems, they aren't getting ahead of themselves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We don't want to get ahead of ourselves, we just want to keep taking things one day at a time,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were happy with our performance this week. Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday I thought the guys put together solid efforts and they are showing signs of making the transition and feeling comfortable out on the ice.â&#x20AC;? He said the team competed hard in the week's contests. The Pirates came out with some jump on Thursday, delivering hits and forcing turnovers. However, just 5:57 into the opening frame Campbellford's Nick Ferguson collected the puck in the slot and beat goaltender Andrew Pearson with a backhand shot. While the Pirates suffered a setback on the scoreboard the team continued to skate well and create chances up to the end of the frame. Campbellford managed to defend the one-goal lead until 15:27 with Mitchell Burke beat Rebels goalie Cole Mahoney to tie things up. Miles Levtov had the assist. Picton continued to press and at 18:59 Aidan

Girduckis beat Mahoney, finishing off a play from Brian Bunnett and Shaw Boomhower. Just like that the Pirates took a lead into the third period. It wouldn't last long, however. Just 36 seconds into the third Cole Hamilton scored to even things up. Corey Prince was called for roughing at 10:35 and the penalty proved to be costly. William Lamoureux scored on the ensuing power play to make the score 3â&#x20AC;&#x201C;2 and sealed the win for the Rebels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was disappointing to lose, but we were in a position to win that hockey game,â&#x20AC;? said Woodward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some breakdowns in the third and it ended up in the back of our net and we lost the game. But you can learn a lot of losing games. Nobody is happy losing the two points, but there are a lot of teaching points there.â&#x20AC;? It was a much different

story on Saturday. Just 54 seconds into the game Devin McCann scored to put Picton in front. Bunnett had the lone assist. At 1:57 the Pirates doubled their lead when Liam Hunter finished off a play from Prince and Calum Kennelly. At 6:26 Boomhower deepened the Rebels deficit to three with Prince and Hunter collecting assists. With Campbellford down 3â&#x20AC;&#x201C;0 after the first, the Pirates seemed to take complete control in the second.

Burke scored 55 seconds into the second stanza with Phil Smith getting the assist, and Noah Sager scored with less than three minutes to go to make it 5â&#x20AC;&#x201C;0 after two. Burke and Smith had the assists on the Sager goal. Campbellford finally got on the board at 6:32 of the third with a Jeremiah Doherty power-play goal, but that would be all the offence for the Rebels. Austin Labelle made it 6â&#x20AC;&#x201C;1 on a power-play marker at 8:37 with Hunter and Boomhower getting the helpers. Woodward attributed the big victory to a great start on the part of the Pirates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were on the scoreboard early on and we weren't sitting back,â&#x20AC;? he said. He said it was a solid performance from the group of skaters and Pearson gave a great performance in net. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We saw some players play some good games. Our hope is they'll continue to build off of that,â&#x20AC;? said Woodward. He noted the play of newcomer Burke as a bright spot this week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He's stepped into the lineup this week and made a great impression on staff and his teammates,â&#x20AC;? Woodward said of Burke. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He brought a physical game and he shows signs of being able to produce some offence as well.â&#x20AC;? The Pirates will face the Deseronto Storm tonight at home before heading to Port Hope to face the Panthers on Saturday. Puck drop for both games is 7:30 p.m.

Pero played on Canadian Tour and qualified for four PGA Tour events

HALL, from page 24

While he enjoyed it from the start, the sport of golf was tough in the beginning. “Dad thought it was best learn to play right-handed and not left-handed which was my natural swing because left-handed equipment was so hard to find,” Pero said. Pero got his first Picton Golf and Country Club on his ninth birthday and shot 164 that same day. “I loved it,” he said. In those early days, it was not uncommon for Pero and his fellow junior club members to shoot 36, 45 or even 54 holes in days before summer jobs and paper routes would interrupt their marathon sessions briefly. Pero remembers the first time the competitiveness bug bit him. It was Saturday morning of the Junior Club championship and he was waiting patiently in his father's truck for a ride to the golf course. “My brother eventually gets in the truck and said, 'What are you so anxious for, you don't have any chance of winning this tournament?',” Pero recalled. “To be clear, I never said a word and he was right, I didn't have any chance to win nor was I thinking about winning. I was just excited for a chance to play. I was a little shocked and I don't remember if I said anything in response. But I do remember thinking one thing. I may not win. But you won't beat me.” Pero went on to shoot 7778 over the weekend tournament, breaking 80 for the first time in his young career and capturing the first of four junior club championships. Still a junior, Pero started to stack up with the senior club membership and was soon playing in the money games where he learned how to successfully compete against the experienced competitors. “But all good things come to an end,” Pero said. “I was winning more than I was losing and they were starting to get grumpy.” Pero said several club members became a sort of travelling fan club and he was always surprised and appreciative when they would travel to watch him play as his career started to rise like a nicely hit drive. There were likely more than a few members in the crowd at the 1984 Ontario Junior Golf Championship in Brockville where Pero won his first significant amateur title, a victory that provided a stepping stone to a higher level of non-professional golf. A golf scholarship at Miami of Ohio University allowed Pero to pursue a business degree while competing against the best amateur golfers in North America at NCAA tournaments. Pero served as Redhawks team captain in his junior and senior year and a decorated amateur career with several NCAA honours and Ontario Amateur Golf Championship in Brantford came to a close in 1989. Not sure if he wanted to put his business degree to use or become a professional golfer, Pero took some words of encouragement from his Redhawks coach and decided to try out the pro ranks. Pero qualified for the

Canadian pro tour where travelling, time management, practicing and competing were first and foremost in his life. He enjoyed success on the Canadian Tour as well as other mini-tours and managed to qualify for four PGA tour events in the early 1990s. But Crohn's disease left Pero unable to practice and prepare to the level professional golf demands and he moved back to Prince Edward County in 1995, dedicating his to time giving back to young golfers and hockey players. “I'm very appreciative for all that golf has given me including the tremendous memories and friendships I've had all over North America,” Pero said. “I've always been happy and proud to answer the never- ending question 'Where is Picton, Ontario?'.” Always the coach, he added a message to local youth, stating if you are willing to work hard enough, any goal can be achieved and an obstacle is something you see when you take your eyes off the goal. That advice would aptly apply to Price who provided a stirring address when accepting his inclusion into the Prince Edward County Sports Hall of Fame.

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

Now an inspirational speaker after retiring from competitive rowing, Price detailed how as a youngster attending Kente school just outside the village of Ameliasburgh, he was always outside, swimming at Roblin Lake, playing with other kids and just enjoying life. But soon, life would change drastically for Price. “My mom started to notice

that I would come in after 10 minutes because I was feeling tired and I had bruises on my legs,” Price said. The young man was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and during his five year battle with cancer, the Price would undergo chemotherapy treatments that left his thyroid operating half functioning during a critical growth period. In those years while he fought off the dreaded disease in order to get back to living a normal life, Price learned about the character traits of courage, determination and perseverance. Price recalls travelling away to a camp for kids with cancer in the Muskokas and remembers searching out cabin mates from the year before to reconnect. “And they wouldn't be there and I knew why,” Price said “It was in that moment I realized that my life just wasn't about me anymore. I had to do it for them.” Price hooked up with the Quinte Rowing Club in 1995 and by 1998, he was a member of the National Rowing Program. As a coxswain, it is Price's duty to steer the boat, execute a race plan and keep the rowers motivated and engaged when “they are in the worst pain of their lives.” “It's like having the mind of an NFL quarterback but having the athletic ability of a couch potato,” Price added. Price would lead Canadian Men's Eight boat to three world championships, a gold in the 2008 Beijing games and a silver at the 2012 London Olympics. But it was the disastrous finish at the 2004 Olympics where Canada blew up and

finished fifth that Price spoke of most. The entry hadn't lost in 17 starts and was two time world champions coming into the Athens games. But complacency and a quick American boat dashed any hopes of a Canadian triumph. “As athletes in this room know, you don't learn from your big wins, only your big losses,” Price said. Four years later, refocused and recharged, Cana-

da would rule the day in China. In 2012, a mostly new crew was a surprise silver medalist in London and for Price, the medal was just as sweet. “I only thought you lost gold but I learned that day silver can be won,” Price said. “It was amazing to be there and be part of that crew and watching these guys have their dreams come true.”

As is the custom, the hall also recognized top local athletes at PECI. Vanessa Willis, Audrey Roloson, Cailey Jones, James McHugh, Max Manlow, Pat Macpherson and Wes Stakes were all honoured and will have their photo installed at the hall for the next calendar in recognition of being athletes of the year.

Lunn wants to preserve special county spirit Hillier incumbent pledges to work to find solutions AdAm BRAmBuRgER Staff writer

Alec Lunn has deep county roots, yet he welcomes those who have brought their creativity to add energy and excitement to his home community. The trick, says the incumbent Hillier councillor who can still regularly pass the home his father and grandparents lived in at Niles Corners, is to ensure this place continues to grow and develop, while keeping the charm people love. “Creativity is a boom industry here and it’s exciting to be a part of it,” he said. “Our challenge over the next few years is to preserve our unique county spirit that we treasure and that so many people want to visit and experience.” Lunn said there will be some conflict as changes arise and that’s where councillors have to step to the forefront to find solutions. “I welcome the chance to listen to all sides of an issue and to work with folks toward a solution,” he said. A retired tradesman, Lunn said he’s aware industry is subject to tough times and said it is important the County remember it has to work for people both up and down on their luck. “Although there is wealth in the county, we must not forget there are many people who have difficulty finding employment and paying their rent. Just ask the people who

run the food banks,” he said. “ transportation is also a constant difficulty for many. We need to support, available, affordable transportation for students to Loyalist College and for seniors and other to get to medical appointments in Belleville.” During his first term as Hillier representative, Lunn feels he helped residents in his community with improvements to Hillier Town Hall, year-round dump access, and work with local beekeepers and farmers on the use of neonicotinoid insecticides. “Prince Edward County was the first municipality in North America to show its concern for a healthy environment in this way,” he said. “This was an encouraging example of how people in a community can work together.” This time around, Lunn said one of the major issues he’s been hearing about is the condition of local roads. He said the province has to be persuaded to do more.

“Dollars for Kin”

“The amount of money needed versus the actual money available from taxes is a huge problem. Somewhere along the line, the upper levels of government will have to pony up with some cash to maintain our roads and infrastructure.” He points to a plan to add more campsites to Sandbanks Provincial Park and said if the province wants the roads leading to the park to be maintained, they might have to upload them. Lunn has also heard about council size and says he has a proposal for a 10-member council that would lob Bloomfield into Hallowell and see all of the wards elect one councillor with the exception of Ameliasburgh, which would elect two. Lunn was one of the few councillors who boarded protest buses to Queen’s Park in concern for the future of the county’s hospital and said he will stand up for prompt, compassionate health care whenever he can. He also served on library and museum boards and feels those are important cultural aspects that must be maintained. An avid musician — half of the Frere Bros. duo — a member of the Picton fair board and a former Regent Theatre manager, Lunn is also a supporter of the arts. He indicated he hopes more people will take municipal governance seriously and vote. In turn, if elected, he’d like to keep people engaged in the process. “I feel the public should always feel welcome at Shire Hall to contribute input into the decisions that affect them.”

NOTICE

Wellington got off to a bad start Friday night, surrendering a pair of goals to the Fury in the opening frame. Whitby's latest pick up Stefan van Engelbrechten scored the first of the game at 9:54 and, about five minutes later with Wellington down two men, Ryan Kirkup finally buried a powerplay goal after the Fury toyed with the hosts for several seconds. “We got off to a slow start and took some untimely and undisciplined penalties,” Dukes coach and general manager Marty Abrams said. “We've been preaching about work ethic and (taking bad penalties) is not playing hard for 60 minutes in my opinion. We have to have that consistent work ethic if we are going to have any success.” Wellington skated with Whitby at times and came out energized in the sec-

ond. Jacob Hethrington scored his first of his OJHL career on a nice slap shot in the opening minute and then the Dukes got it back to even on a nice tic-tac-toe play where Abbott Girduckis and Joe McKeown made Brandon Kosik the trigger man at 4:58. But Wellington once again got caught wielding the wood and Whitby cashed in on another extended power play, taking a 3-2 lead to the dressing room after 40 minutes. “We were with them at times but we can't give teams in this division any opportunities or they will bury us,” Abrams said. The lone bright spot Friday night might have been Kosik who has shown some great puck smarts and handles the biscuit with ease at both ends of the ice.

“He's been an excellent acquisition for us,” Abrams said of the Kirkland, QC native. “I've been happy with his play and work ethic and if he continues to develop he will get a shot at major junior hockey.” Whitby tacked on another two goals in the third and won going away 5-2. On Saturday in the Tiger den of the Aurora Community Centre, the Dukes held the hosts off the board in the first despite being outshot 19-8.

“We did a lot of puck chasing and watching,” Abrams said of Wellington's game Saturday night. “Aurora managed the puck well and it seemed like they had it all night.” Wellington finally gave up a goal early in the middle frame and another in the sixth minute. Nick Devito got his second of the weekend on a nice power-play marker to cut the Aurora lead to 2-1 . Then, the ACC became a house of horrors for Wellington as the club surrendered a goal in the final

15 seconds of the frame to see the Cats go up 3-1. The Tigers would add another in the third to finish the scoring at 4-1. Wellington will pin their hopes of crawling back into the playoff picture on an upcoming set of games against Lindsay and Pickering. “These are two huge games and we need to make inroads this weekend to get back into the race,” Abrams said. Wellington is in Lindsay Friday evening and hosts Pickering Sunday.

RE/10 f THURSDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2014 When it comes to closing up the cottage, every cottage owner has their own checklist and methods. But it’s useful to review some best practises and perhaps add a few additional tasks to your to-do list to make sure that next spring, there aren’t any unwelcome surprises. In Canada, the top causes of cottage damage are wind and water. Fortunately, the risk of damage can be reduced by taking a few simple steps at the end of the season. Here are the most important tasks to take care of at the cottage this fall: • Drain the pipes: Make sure all

Closing up the cottage

water is removed by opening all taps and valves. If your cottage is not winterized, the Canada Safety Council recommends filling supply pipes with non-toxic anti-freeze and wrapping pipes at key junction points to help protect against the cold. • Inspect your roof: A leaky roof can cause a lot of waterdamage. Replace any missing or broken shingles. Make sure trees are trimmed so that wind and snow do not cause them to damage your cottage. • Electricity: If shutting the electricity off completely, Hydro One recommends turning off

all appliances, the water heater and electrical room heaters before turning off the main switch at the electrical panel. If leaving your electricity on (for a security system or lighting) turn off the power supply to your major appliances at your main panel and shut off the power to any space heaters. • Fireplace and woodstove: Make sure your fireplace damper is closed to prevent animals from getting in. Block off the flues, stovepipes and chimneys. Chimneys from fireplaces or woodstoves should be professionally checked to ensure they don't have hazardous

amounts of creosote. • Empty refrigerator and cupboards: Clean and defrost the fridge, leaving the door open to keep it fresh. Pack up the cupboards, including dry food and canned goods. • Walk through: Make sure that all utilities and appliances are unplugged and any potential fire hazards are removed (old newspapers, chemicals, etc.) If possible, have a neighbour or friend check up on your place periodically throughout the winter; this will provide some additional peace of mind.
