Mayor hopeful for improved rapport with province Quaiff meets with Wynne’s close advisors about County’s dealings with Queen’s Park

JAMES HEPBURN

CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

The municipality won't be looking outside of Prince Edward County for a new chief administrative officer. Council appointed James Hepburn as the municipality's top administrative official following a closed session meeting Tuesday evening. Hepburn has filled the role of acting CAO since March, following the departure of former CAO Merlin Dewing. The CAO provides administrative oversight to the corporation as a whole. A release from the municipality says Hepburn has held a senior management position since starting with the municipality in October 2008. Hepburn was formerly the director of finance and was a member of the municipality's acting CAO program meant to maintain the delivery of direction from council and oversee municipal operations when the CAO is absent.

Following a significant meeting with provincial officials, Mayor Robert Quaiff said he expects improved communication between the province and Prince Edward County. On Oct. 21, Quaiff met with Premier Kathleen Wynne's deputy chief of staff Pat Sorbara and policy advisor Phil Donelson. Quaiff said the meeting was set up through former finance minister Greg Sorbara. Quaiff had an hourand-a-half meeting with the deputy chief of staff and Donelson before being introduced to a significant amount of cabinet ministers. “At the end of the day what the meeting was all about was Relationship 101 with the province, knowing who to contact and who to speak to,” he said. “For now, I'm really pleased with the outcome of that meeting.” While County representatives have met and voiced Ainsworth Funeral Home Atom AE Prince Edward County King Matthew Vincent races for the pick concern with provincial offiduring the 6th Annual Recharge with Milk championship game against the Deep River Knights. cials many times, Quaiff said things were different this Vincent scored his team’s only goal in a tough 3-1 loss.(Jason Parks/Gazette staff) time around.

“This was actually speaking with someone who was very knowledgeable and acknowledged that partisan politics should not be a factor going forward,” he said. He said word had reached Queen's Park that Prince Edward County wasn't happy with the provincial government. Quaiff said partisan politics seemed to be at play and gave deputy chief of staff Sorbara an example. He said when provincial and federal funding was announced for the rehabilitation of County Rd. 3, the municipality was forced to hold off on an announcement as the provincial Liberal representatives and federal Conservative representatives couldn't reach an agreement on date. “We didn't get any participation from any member of the Liberal government.” Within a few days there was a similar funding announcement in Belleville, which was attended by Northumberland-Quinte West MPP Lou Rinaldi, said Quaiff.

Crowley returns to cross-examination in Ostrander Point ERT hearing Expert says proposed gated access, blackout period lessened his concerns ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

After a 52-day break in testimony, Joe Crowley returned to the witness stand at the Environmental Review Tribunal (ERT) hearing on Ostrander Point Tuesday.

The Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) expert on amphibians and reptiles had been stuck in cross-examination after the ERT directed him to produce all prior record of conversations he had leading up to a ministry to grant Gilead Power per-

mission under the Endangered Species (ESA) Act for the operation of its proposed nine-turbine wind farm to kill, hararss, and harm the Blanding’s turtle. The day started as ERT members Robert Wright and Heather Gibbs heard an objection from the Ministry of Environment’s counsel Sylvia Davis to quash the evidence the ERT requested as it was not relevant to the mitigation measures currently being considered. Wright said Davis referred to the Statutory Powers Procedure Act in making her claim, but said the ERT believed the act was properly applied. “It does indicate that in these sorts of hearings, we can take a broad view of the admission of documents that are relevant,� he said. “Apparently the documents refer to mitigation measures, again, those are relevant on a remedy hearing.� Wright said counsel Eric Gillespie should be able to try the evidence on behalf of the Prince Edward County Field Naturalists, especially in light of the evidence Crowley was consulted early in the process. In allowing the evidence — a book with eight tabbed documents — Wright said arguments can be made for its worth at a later time. “At the end of the day, there may be arguments in final submissions as to what weight should be given to these documents.�

ON THE STAND Ministry of Natural Resources herpetologist Joe

The document package contained the initial ESA Act permit application report prepared by Stantec in December 2010 and a series of e-mails and meeting reports from early 2011. Gillespie led Crowley through the documents to learn about his involvement with the project. Crowley indicated he was included in e-mails and meetings with other ministry staff, but did not have direct contact with the project’s proponents. Among the reports from meetings in Jan. 2011, there was reference to fencing and Crowley indicated he asked

about whether fencing could be used and whether there could be passages through fencing for the turtles. “After discussing, it seemed that wouldn’t really work at the site,� he said, indicating fencing should only be used as a last resort. Crowley also indicated that at the time, the option of discouraging turtles from using the southeast corner of the site, where a higher density of access roads is planned was considered. Under examination, Crowley also reiterated it would be hard to tell where turtles were travelling from the site without use of radio technology. He said some have larger home areas than others and there’s no set pattern linked to the age or sex of the turtles. “I’m assuming the individuals with larger home ranges, they could certainly move along the shoreline in either direction. They could also

move inland — females specifically. Their typical nesting migrations can be a few kilometres, in extreme cases, five or six kilometres in any distance or direction.� After he indicating that his involvement in the project substantially ended in 2011 and that he was not privy to future ESA applications — he indicated he only addressed the file again this August just before he was contacted to participate in the ERT process — Crowley was asked if his opinions had changed at all since his 2011 input. He stated that through work with a national group studying Blanding’s turtle populations, he believed the population at Ostrander Point was likely between 10-100 turtles, but admitted that was a rough estimate only based on other populations. Crowley stated his opinions about the turtles are mostly unchanged since those reports, but suggested the new mitigation measures introduced led him to believe the potential for harm has been reduced since 2011. Prompted by Gillespie, Crowley agreed there were two key mitigation measures that brought him to that conclusion. The first is a planned blackout period for construction and other site activities in the active season between April and October. The second is the notion the roads will be gated to restrict public access to the project roads. “I know there are other changes too, but those are the two biggest ones,� Crowley said. “There are other changes to the overall mitigation plan and those specifically influence some of these comments.� With her questions following Gillespie’s, Davis worked to dismiss the relevance of the new information shared compared to his initial testimony before the tribunal.

Consecon gets second helping of Haunting in the Hamlet Masonic Hall a hub of activity for annual Halloween celebrations CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

The frights came fast and fun on Saturday for the second annual Haunting in the Hamlet in Consecon. Organizer Toby Toth said she was pleased with the turnout for the event. “It's an excellent crowd,� Toth said, already looking forward to next year's third annual Haunting. “Third time is the charm, that's the theme for 2016, so it's going to be even bigger and better. It's been a fabulous day.� Things got started bright and early on Saturday morning with a hot breakfast at Consecon Legion at 8 a.m. Arts and craft sales followed at the Consecon United Church Hall and there was plenty of excitement over the return of Kristie's Portable Petting Zoo. Participants had a chance to enter a bake-off, jack-olantern carving competition, and costume contests for humans and dogs at the Consecon Masonic Hall. There was plenty for of kids' activities with games and crafts at the legion and a story time at the Consecon library featuring Sherri Begman sharing “The Truth About Witches.� The event closed with a family drumming circle and family movies in the Masonic Hall, while Cascades Pub and Grill offered free hot chocolate and treat bags for kids well into the evening. “It's been chaos and we're still having a lot of fun, so we'll know more after we've tallied it up, but I can definitely ballpark that we've easily had 50 kids out today,� Toth said. Toth indicated the petting zoo was a big draw, with inquiring young minds asking more than once about its return. “The petting zoo in the morning is very popular,� she said. “A lot of kids asked me leading up to it, is the petting zoo coming back, so that was a big one.� Games and crafts in the Legion were a hive of activity as well, serving as a hub for the day's events, Toth said. She said community involvement played a significant role in the success of the event. “The community involvement is great, keep-

ing things moving all down the street in different locations is a big hit,� she said. Halloween is a particularly effective time to foster community growth and spirit, Toth said. “It's an inclusive holiday,

a secular get-together so it's really about everybody coming together regardless of their location, of their faith, of their background, of their economics,� she said. “It's free for everybody, so it's a really inclusive space and

Officials with the Hastings and Prince Edward School Board continue to monitor the state of public school hallways as a provincial work action by members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) drags on. Over 55,000 educational assistants, custodians, library technicians, etc have been working-to-rule since Sept. 10 as central bargaining talks between CUPE education workers, the province and the Ontario Public School Boards Association continue to lag. Locally, that has meant that school hallways, which are not part of the regular cleaning duties of custodial staff, have been neglected for periods of time. Many of the board’s students, either fed up with the condition or wishing to voice their support for support staff, have organized walk outs and peaceful protests. At PECI, students walked out of classes earlier this month in support of CUPE Local 1022 members that are employed at the local secondary school. After the board’s monthly meeting of trustees at the Education Centre in Belleville, education director

Mandy Savery-Whiteway told the Gazette staff are monitoring the conditions at local schools daily. “We are monitoring this situation and our principals are watching the situation is closely,” Savery-Whiteway explained. “Our No. 1 concern is health and safety and we are working collaboratively to make sure that any health and safety concerns are dressed immediately in a proactive way.” The director explained that classrooms, washrooms, cafeterias and libraries are being maintained and cleaned regularly but hallways are not cleaned as often due to this legal job action “and we respect the rights of those folks that are in those job actions. “ “We probably don't look as clean and tidy as we normally do and we acknowledge that. We aren't happy with the inconvenience but we are respectful of the process,” she added. Pictures of littered hallways, overstuffed trash bags waiting to burst refuse and piles of debris are easily found on social media as students provide a daily photo commentary of the hall conditions. Parents have decried the conditions their children are learning in and SaveryWhiteway wants them to

continue to reach out. “Communities are contacting school principals and any parent can contact the school group superintendent or the board office. Most are having their concerns resolved on a day-to-day basis,” she added. As for the student protests and support measures, Savery-Whiteway has been happy with how young adults have responded to the situation. “We always want students in class and learning, that's a number one priority because then they can be guided and supported to have a voice. We want them to do it in a manner that is respectful and productive,” she said. “But we do acknowledge the opportunity to experience democracy first hand and we've been really happy students have had that experience in a way that allows them to use their learning and have their voices heard.” She added that students have been highly responsible during the political demonstrations and have been looking for legitimate roots to have their voices heard “That has included contacting their MPP and writing letters to the education minister and premier,” she said.

RENEWED BREW Barley Days Brewery head brewer Brett French, Prince Edward-Hastings MPP Todd Smith, Mayor Robert Quaiff and general manager Kyle Baldwin cut the ribbon on the renovated brewery Saturday. (Chad Ibbotson/Gazette staff) Estates Winery chef Lili Sullivan. “We try to combine all of our businesses together just to give everybody a little bit of everything,” he said. Baldwin said the owner is seeking to grow business and is focused on investing in the region. “He feels Prince Edward County is an up-and-coming area, so he's trying to focus in on businesses that have potential and Barley Days definitely had potential here,” he said. “It's a prime location and had brand recognition and good staff.” Baldwin said the re-opening is just the first stage of future expansion plans. Head brewer Brett French said craft beer is a market on the rise. He said he wants to ensure Barley Days is in on Ontario's craft beer boom. “I would like to continue to be a part of Ontario's craft brewery scene as a total,” he said. “We're such a young industry, it's in everyone's interest to be brewing great beer and really putting us on the map.” French said Ontario is behind, but gaining ground on established craft beer markets in the United States, British Columbia, and Quebec. Locally, Barley Days is at the forefront. French said the brewery is looking to capitalize on the buzz of the county's more than 40 wineries, using techniques like aging craft brews in wine barrels and creating a new sparkling ale, called Sacred Mule, using wine yeast. “That's on tap right now,” said French. The brewery also uses local ingredients wherever

Smith said it's great to see local investment. “I look forward to working with this team in the future at Queen's Park and making sure we can increase that marketplace and these types of industries can grow,” he said. “These are Ontario home-grown products and these guys are going to create jobs here in our community and right across the province.” Mayor Quaiff said Pulla's investment in the community is “incredible.” He said Pulla's humanitarian efforts are exemplary and was among the first to sponsor his Golf for Good Food charity tournament. “When I heard he purchased this, I was over the moon,” said Quaiff. “I thought, we'll see some real big improvements here and we'll see somebody that's really dedicated and brings a keen perspective on this kind of industry.” Quaiff envisions the investment as a precipitating factor in the expansion of the local craft beer marketplace. “I think the municipality is going to have to take a deep breath and say 'okay, let's get ready for it,'” he said.

Many a glass was tipped in celebration on Saturday as Barley Days Brewery held its grand re-opening party. A significant crowd gathered in the renovated tasting room at the brewery, with Mayor Robert Quaiff and Prince Edward-Hastings MPP Todd Smith on hand for the ceremonial ribbon cutting. General manager Kyle Baldwin said the brewery's new owner Joe Pulla will be looking to build on the solid ground established by previous owners Chris and Nora Rogers. “I was hoping we were going to get this kind of turnout and I'm glad we did,” Baldwin said of Saturday's re-opening party. “People are excited to see something new developing in the area and with what Chris and Nora already had into this place, it was pretty easy to flip the switch and take it to the next level.” Baldwin said the brewery will be looking to expand already established brand loyalty and as well as draw in new customers with suds matched to a variety of taste buds. “We know we have a lot of craft beer lovers and we're trying to draw in those people that just like an easy drinking beer as well,” he said. “We're trying to give that to people.” Baldwin said the brewery is also seeking to be a destination for thirsty travellers in the summer months. The building was repainted, the tasting room renovated, and a patio added to draw the eye of those touring the county. The municipality also recently passed a bylaw amendment allowing the brewery to serve pints by the glass. “If somebody wants to stop off for a pint of beer we do have the license to have a pint of beer here or out on the patio,” he said. The brewery will also have a food truck on site in the summer months featuring smoked meats and other creations from Waupoos

COMMENTARY Optics of negotiation payments to union bad for province

WHILE the millions of dollars the Ontario government paid various teachers’ unions to negotiate contracts in recent months is, sadly, small potatoes in terms of the provincial budget, the payments shouldn’t sit well with Ontario residents. Some representatives of the provincial government have suggested the funding is transitional because they brought in a new bargaining framework, which calls for more work to be done at a central bargaining table. With more people involved, they argue there was a need for larger faciltiies, for food, and for lodging. That’s understandable, yet one wonders why a process brought in to streamline negotiations would add more cost and burden to the process. One also wonders if the extra layer of bureaucracy might be taking powers away from local school boards elected and accountable to local taxpayers. Another logistical question would be whether new communications technology was used in the process, and to what extent, and whether more sessions could have taken place in existing public infrastructure — with declining enrollment and changes in funding formulae, there are likely current or past school spaces available to hold meetings. The cost of “gold-plated pizza” as Progressive Conservative leader Patrick Brown called it, could also be reduced by working with the education sector. Perhaps students could have prepared food at less of a cost — but then, there seems to be some debate about whether the money has been spent, whether receipts are necessary, and what the money was actually used for. If the province is going to say the expenditures were anticipated for this round of bargaining talks, then it probably should have done the costing. It should have been prepared to show it was being respectful to the public purse long before the media storm and the confusion of muddled answers senior cabinet ministers have been giving.

It seems logical the province would helping school boards adjust to the bargaining structure since they run on a very tight, formula-driven budget already and any change could impact program spending (and again, one would think this funding would have been announced from Day 1), but one has to question why the province was using tax dollars to help the unions in question with their costs to bargain contracts for their own membership. Teachers are paid through public funds already and they pay sizeable dues to have their representatives in place to bargain and to advocate for their needs. The onus should be on them to collect the funds they need to bargain under a known framework and to work on their clients behalf to get the best deal so the cost of that negotiation can be absorbed without an impact on members’ bottom lines. Surely, the unions aren’t hurting too much for funding given the money some spent campaigning in the last provincial election. When other unions that negotiate with the province suggest such payments during their negotiations have not been the norm,it gives credence to the many questions being asked about the timing and intent of these payments. Did they help buy labour peace to start the year? Did they help shore up support in Ontario for Kathleen Wynne’s Liberal allies in the federal election? And, can the public expect similar payments to now be on the table as elementary teachers and educational support staff bargain? Lastly, some may also wonder if that money could be spent better on programs that directly impact ratepayers. Thus far, the province has done a poor job in accounting for this money and in explaining why these expenditures were necessary. At best, the optics suggest they did a lousy job planning with public funds. The public needs to hold the government to account and to demand the utmost care for tax dollars.

County Kids Read opens space at St. Mary Magdalene Program encourages children to select free books to take home to read CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

For Anne Preston, a stronger community begins with a book in every child's hand. As chair of the Written Word Committee of the Prince Edward County Arts Council, Preston said the committee's County Kids Read program — in which children are allowed to select a free book to own — is one of her favourites. With increased literacy, comes increased opportunity, she said. Children who begin reading at an early age are often likely to go further in education, to have more life skills, and to have more information. “I think you're going to find you have better citizens and productive people in the county,” said Preston. “Literacy and education are the great levellers, I truly believe that.” On Sunday, Preston, Written Word Committee members, and volunteers gathered at St. Mary Magdalene Anglican Church to unveil a newly renovated space where county kids can come and select a book, read, and learn. She said the program started in 2009 with the realization that low-income families often don't have age-many books in the home. Local literacy levels were also cause for concern.

“This started when we realized the importance of poverty and literacy acquisition and how — it's an astounding statistic — but in low-income homes, there is maybe one book per 300 children,” said Preston. “Having age-appropriate books in the home is the key to literacy acquisition.” The committee had been using the church's parish hall basement to store and sort books, but had outgrown the previously used corridor. A group of church members got together with the idea of renovating a room to give the program a permanent home. With that came a substantial overhaul of floors, ceilings, walls, and even some wiring. “We needed a bigger space

and so the church very graciously renovated this space for us. They put in a new floor, new ceiling, new walls — everything,” said Preston. “They let us have this space free of rent and they've been working on this. Today is a celebration of both that partnership and now we have this beautiful space for the program.” The County Kids Read works in two ways. Each month, books are distributed to each of the program's 11 community partners. These organizations, which support families in need, will then distribute books to their clients. About 600-700 books are distributed each month. “All of these agencies serve the needs of low-

income families and all we're doing is layering literacy into that,” said Preston. The second way the program will work has been made possible by the renovation. “Now that we have this space here, we're very hopeful that some of the existing people will be able to bring their staff here to choose books, will be able to bring some of their families and children here to choose books,” Preston said. “That would be amazing and we could never do that before.” Preston said the goal is to eventually bring low-income literacy and book ownership levels on par with the middle class. “They're free to choose a book, take it home and make it

their own,” she said. “The ownership of the book is important and you want to have lots of books in your home. We want to get that statistic back to what a middle class family has, which is approximately 30 books per kid.” The community has made significant contributions to the program, Preston said. The County Community Foundation gave the program a grant to purchase some additional books to fill gaps in the collection — board books for babies and books for boys are always needed, she said. Bookshelves for the space were donated by Evans Lumber and Books & Company, and Home Depot gave a discount and donation toward material costs. Claxton Electric helped with the wiring Preston thanked all who contributed to the program and to the new space. “They have worked so hard to bring all of this program to fruition and to bring this space into what it is today,” she said. “My big thank-you is saved for the crew who made this room.” Preston said the program has always had a home at the church and the committee is grateful for all the ongoing support for the County Kids Read. “I cannot thank this church enough. They've made me feel so at home here, they've been so supportive of the program and without them I wouldn't have this program,” she said.

MacNaughton joins public library team to work as youth co-ordinator

A new staff member recently joined the library as children and youth co-ordinator, filling a maternity leave for Whitney Shantz. Kate MacNaughton may be a familiar face to many as she comes to the library from working at Books & Company in Picton. As such, she is well versed in the world of books and especially children’s literature. Her background in theatre, which included teaching drama for a decade, will undoubtedly serve her well in her work at the library as well. “I‘ve been at the library for a month and, so far, I love it,” says the enthusiastic MacNaughton. “I’m slowly getting out to all the branches to get acquainted with all the kids’ sections and the members.” In addition to taking over the many programs created by Shantz over the past couple of years, including the weekly Tuesday After School Fun Club at the Wellington branch, MacNaughton is looking forward to starting a few new projects as well. “With the support of the Athol recreation committee, we’re planning on bringing the library to Cherry Valley. We’ll be holding Saturday morning readings. I’ll be bringing books you can look at or take out and we’ll have stories and maybe a song or

two. We hope to start in November or early December.” Dates will soon be posted on the library’s events calendar. “I’m on a mission to freshen up the books for babies,” adds MacNaughton. “We’ve already picked up a dozen or so fresh exciting new books and new old favourites. We have buckets more on order. We’re also on the hunt for a few more graphic novels for kids. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Let us know what’s on your wish list for any kids books and we’ll add it to our wish list. We love feedback.” At the Picton branch, for the week leading up to Hal-

loween, there are paper pumpkins and leaves to decorate. MacNaughton says, “I want the whole room to look like Autumn. On Thursday and Friday, we’ll be breaking out our dress up clothes.” She and staff member Lyndsay Bowker are also working on creating somewhat of a Makerspace in what many know as the “Teen Room” or the meet-

ing room in Picton. “… a place to invent, create and attempt,” explains MacNaughton. Ideas being bandied about are Lego walls, magnetics, light showers, basic robotics, circuitry art, textile work, and acoustic experiments. “Right now, we’re looking for donations of Lego and Lego baseplates, any left-over blackboard or

black paint, and any plain magnets. We’ll be setting up a Facebook page for the Makerspace as it evolves.” In addition to thoughts of new plans, class visits continue and all schools are invited to contact Kate MacNaughton to come by for story time readings or to check out books. She can be contacted at kmacnaughton@peclibrary.org or by calling 613-476-5962.

County puts out revised tender for Picton’s Main Street rehabilitation project CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

The County announced last week that a revised tender has been issued for the Picton Main Street rehabilitation project. A release from the municipality dated Oct. 22 says the revised tender is required to keep the project within the estimated cost and timeline for approved funding and to examine the cost and benefits of possible construction

timeline alternatives. “We are looking forward to receiving and evaluating proposals that will help us assess potential opportunities to reduce project impacts on the downtown core,” engineering, development, and works commission Robert McAuley said in the release. “Postponing the project has also provided us more time to work with the Picton BIA to develop a comprehensive plan that will ensure residents, busi-

nesses and visitors are informed of the project status, schedule, and impacts as early as possible in 2016. “ The new tender splits the work into underground and above ground work and will be priced through four scheduling alternatives including no July and August work in 2016. “This will allow the County to weigh the relative cost and benefit of different construction schedules,” the release says. It says the exact project scheduling will not be known until the tender has

been awarded, but the county intends to maintain a start date early in the spring of 2016. The municipality is committed to ensuring businesses and residents are impacted as little as possible, the release says. “The County is continuing efforts to avoid significant disruption to the downtown core during construction,” the release says. The municipality and the Picton BIA are working together to create programs and strategies to assist the business community during construction. The release

says the municipality will continue to do so throughout the duration of the project. Mayor Robert Quaiff said he spoke with provincial officials about the funding for the project on Oct. 21. “We tried to be as accommodating as possible with the businesses so that we didn't affect them during the peak tourist season, obviously that's when business owners on Main Street do the bulk of their annual business,” said Quaiff. A total of $2 million is available through the Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund (OCIF), but in order to qualify for the OCIF grant funding, the project must be completed by Dec. 31, 2016. “It's one of those issues

where the funding is available to a certain date and if you don't use that funding, then you're going to lose it,” said Quaiff. “I explained everything about being a tourist area, a very small portion of industrial-based businesses here and that we really needed to get the infrastructure completed on Main Street.” He said he asked for an extension to the funding. The Picton Main Street rehabilitation project will see water mains, service connections, sanitary sewers, and storm sewers upgraded from Chapel Street to Bridge Street. The scope of work also includes new curbs, sidewalks, and lighting in the same area. The tendering period for the project closed on Oct. 28.

Loyalist Parkway Association beautifies traffic circle west of Picton with new landscaping ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

BRINGING IT AROUND From left, Lockyer’s Greenhouses’ Greg Moore, Loyalist Parkway Association chair Ted Davie, and Bloomfield councillor Barry Turpin show off the new landscape work done at the traffic circle. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

Drivers going through the traffic circle just west of Picton might notice the vegetation in the centre is now more pleasing to the eye. The Loyalist Parkway Association (L.P.A.) recently contracted Lockyer’s Greenhouses to plant new grasses and shrubbery there in an effort to beautify the area. The new planting features spirea, burning bushes, and tall grasses, all of which were approved by the Ministry of Transportation for the site. L.P.A..chair Ted Davie said the

tall grass also serves to block the glare of headlights at night. The work cost about $1,000. Davie said the upgrade was considered for about three years and the roundabout was one of several strategic locations on Hwy 33 the L.P.A. selected for its beautification effort. Davie said over the years the L.P.A. has worked on its mandate to keep the stretch of road between Amherstview in the east and Wooler Rd. in the west more of a parkway than a highway as a way of attracting tourists to visit. “By doing that, we’re bringing people through the

four municipalities and that allows the small businesses to benefit,” he said. “They stay at local B&Bs and visit small businesses while they’re passing through.” Other efforts have included many tree plantings and installations of historical signs along the route, and the provision of tourist information kiosks. Davie said the L.P.A. also produces a well-circulated map each year and it receives numerous hits on its web site, www.pec.on.ca/lpa. The L.P.A. membership includes one councillor and one member of the public

from Loyalist Township, Greater Napanee, Prince Edward County, and Quinte West. Those municipalities offer grants to help with its operations. Davie also said the work of volunteers helps the L.P.A. achieve more with limited funds available. He added the group could always use more volunteers to assist with its ongoing efforts. Bloomfield councillor Barry Turpin is one of the County’s representatives on the L.P.A. He was pleased with the work. “It’s going to look great,” he said.

CommunityCare announced recently that hot Meals on Wheels are now prepared in Wellington. The Duke of Wellington Eatery joined four other meal providers for the Meals on Wheels program in The County. Dan and Kerri-Lynn Stasko, owners of The Duke, are pleased about this new way to serve the community. They’ve been in food services for many years. It’s easier for our volunteers if the food provider is located close to the recipients of the Meals on Wheels. Community Care is accepting requests for delivery of hot meals from seniors who live in Wellington and Wellington on the Lake. We also deliver hot Meals on Wheels to seniors living: near Hwy 33 from Carrying Place south to Picton; all of Ameliasburgh Ward; Wellington; Bloomfield; and Picton. If you need hot meals delivered to your home and where you live isn’t on the above list, don’t let that stop you from calling us. We’re always looking at the next area that needs hot meals delivered to seniors. You see, this program is one of the best services to help seniors live at home safely and comfortably. Our amazing volunteers deliver hot and tasty meals and there’s that important reassurance factor, too. This brings me to the matter of volunteers. Community Care volunteers have been delivering hot meals to seniors since 1980. They are still going strong, too. The thing is that when we move the hot program into new areas we need volunteers from that area. If you live in Wellington and you have an hour to spare from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. then we sure want to talk to you. It doesn’t matter if you travel and your time is limited. The efforts of many make it possible to get the meals where they need to be on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, week after week,

More than 70 people pack into Ameliasburgh Town Hall to hear ERT testimony continue She asked what information Crowley might have had when originally commenting on the proposal and whether he saw any later versions of the ESA application. Crowley said most of the information he received came from consultant reports and

background information provided by the MNR’s Peterborough region office. He said he wasn’t sure if he knew about a blackout period for work. Regardless, he said his testimony was based on the current set of mitigation measures being presented to the ERT by Gilead Power and the

MOE. “The opinion I gave during direct examination was based on new information, all the new mitigation,” he said. “My previous assessment was based on a lot of that new mitigation. This is not really relevant.” Davis asked Crowley again about fencing and he

still indicated he believes that would be a difficult means to mitigate potential loss. “With respect to fencing in general, I think it would still be pretty tricky to fence the site to prevent mortality but still allow the turtles to move throughout.” Crowley stated with fewer project roads and less impact

study over a few years. Some of the over 70 people sitting in an Ameliasburgh Town Hall filled to capacity voiced agreement to that statement, hoping such an act would take place. Most of the audience returned after the lunch break as the hearing continued. The afternoon was spent on arguments about whether the MOE’s next witness, Karen Bellamy, could be introduced as an expert witness on Blading’s turtles, or rather just a witness of fact. At about 5:45 p.m. prior to adjournment, she was allowed to stand as a witness of fact. Discussion also ensued about additional documents disclosed through the ERT’s order of government communications and through Freedom of Information requests made by PECFN and the South Shore Conservancy. The hearing was to continue Wednesday and again today in Ameliasburgh.

Hepburn cites customer service as a top priority CAO, from page 1

“I am pleased to accept the chief administrative officer position,” Hepburn said in the release. “In addition to the CAO priorities identified by council, I look forward to continuing to improve the County’s ability to provide customer service excellence to Prince Edward County residents.” The release says council made the decision based on the skills, knowledge, leadership and commitment demonstrated by Hepburn over the past several years. “On behalf of council, I am very happy to announce the appointment of Mr. Hepburn to this important leadership role and look forward to working with him to continue improving the efficiency and effectiveness of our organization,” Mayor Robert Quaiff says in the release. “I have every confidence that he will lead the administration through the challenges and opportunities of the future.” Hepburn will have a number of upcoming projects to oversee, including the development of a strategic plan to guide the use of resources, effectiveness, and efficiency in municipal service delivery and accountability to residents, stakeholders, and council. He will also lead the 2016 budget process, establishing capital and operations budgets. Hepburn will also look to move forward on CAO priorities established by council in 2015, including recommendations for financial and operational stability, a review of charges and policies related to development, planning, and building, and a review of the water and wastewater operations.

Council examines repair of existing fire truck Purchase of new aerial truck on hold CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

Council put the brakes on plans to purchase a new $1.2million aerial fire truck, at least until staff can clarify the cost and availability of parts to repair the municipality's current vehicle. A deferral motion was approved as several councillors sought clarification on the associated costs and availability of parts to repair the damaged and leaking torque box on the municipality's 1988 aerial. The truck has a 50-foot ladder and fire chief Scott Manlow said at an Oct. 15 committee-of-thewhole meeting the truck is insufficient to battle blazes in the county's tallest buildings. Manlow estimated the repair could reach or exceed $25,000 while a fully-functioning unit of that age would be worth just between $10,000 and $15,000. The need for a new aerial fire truck was identified in 2013, but was deferred to 2016. The purchase of the new truck is proposed to be funded $800,000 through the municipality's reserve for fire equipment replacement and

$400,000 through development charges. Manlow said the new vehicle would be a first run truck, would have the capabilities of a pumper truck with a capacity of 500 gallons, and would be able to function as a command post. It has a 107-foot ladder and is a single-axel vehicle. Corporate services and finance commissioner Susan Turnbull said the current truck is not accredited by the municipality's insurance underwriters because of its age. However, several councillors were hesitant to make the purchase. Councillor Jamie Forrester said Tuesday he still wouldn't support it. “I cannot justify spending $1.1 million for something that will be used two or three times per year,� he said. “I'm still opposed to spending this amount of money.� Forrester said the municipality could fulfill many needs with the $1.2 million required for the new truck. Councillor Dianne O'Brien said she also wouldn't support the purchase “I don't support the purchase of this truck, I never have,� she said. “Nothing I've

heard has demonstrated to me that the residents of Prince Edward County need this truck for their safety.� She said the municipality has a mutual aid agreement with neighbouring municipalities that will cover the County in case of emergency. Councillor Kevin Gale remained supportive of the purchase. “We have an old piece of equipment that is inadequate,� he said. He said $1.2 million is a lot of money but, if the municipality delays the purchase, that price will only increase over time. “It's kind of like a life insurance policy, you keep it for that day that you might just need it,� he said. No timeline was given for the deferral.

The Macdonald Project is finally complete. On Friday morning, nearly four months after the bronze depiction of Sir John A. Macdonald presenting his first case in the Picton courthouse in October of 1834 was unveiled, a plaque explaining the moment and Canada's first prime minister's connection to the region was installed. The life-size, interactive sculpture of the initial P.M. and a prisoners box by Ruth Abernethy shown to the public on Canada Day to mark the bicentenary of the birth of Macdonald. Project co-ordinator David Warrick explained the delay in installing the explanatory plaque at Friday's unveiling. “The process of designing, translating, ordering and manufacturing a porcelain enamel panel took much longer than we first envisaged. Now that it’s here, we hope that everyone will enjoy this plaque for years to come,” Warrick offered. While the plaque was being designed and crafted, many locals took it upon themselves to explain the

sculpture and Macdonald's connection to Prince Edward County. A common occurrence Warrick was thankful for. “Thank you to everyone who made an effort to explain to the many tourists what the sculpture represents. We’re glad that merchants and residents took time to remind visitors that this bronze sculpture represents the beginning of our first prime minister’s career in law in Picton Upper Canada in 1834,” Warrick

said. The plaque reads in part: “From an early age, John A. Macdonald called the Bay of Quinte and Prince Edward County his home from 1824 to 1835. Some of his fondest memories were of his life spent in this region. Ruth Abernethy’s Holding Court depicts the moment when the teenage Macdonald won his first court case in the Picton courthouse Oct. 8, 1834 before a judge and jury. Four months later, he became an attorney in Picton and began his career in law. From his humble beginnings as the son of a shop-

keeper and miller, he rose to become the principal architect of Canada and the nation’s first prime minister.“ The sculpture will no doubt play an important role in the Canada's 150th birthday in 2017. “With less than two years to the 150th anniversary of Canada, we need to prepare for more celebrations in the county. We’ve a lot to celebrate in Canada. We don’t always appreciate the extraordinary sacrifices that our ancestors made for this great country,” said Warrick.

Panthers have chance Dukes sink Muskies in home-and-home series weekend to secure home-court Successful helps Wellington advantage in first round keep pace in strong PECI seniors getting contributions throughout lineup as Bay of Quinte stretch run nears ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

The PECI Senior Basketball Panthers will have two shots to secure home-court advantage in the playoffs early next week with games against St. Theresa and Bayside. The Panthers kept themselves in contention for a shot at first place in the congested upper echelon of the Bay of Quinte Conference standings Monday as they downed the Trenton Tigers 41-18 at home Monday to improve their record to 7-1. The contest was never in question as the Panthers didn't give their opponents much daylight, allowing just 10 points against through three quarters on a limited number of shooting attempts. Trenton was able to get some looks in the fourth, but coach Rob Garden said he felt it was a difficult game for his squad to stay focused given the flow of play. "Our defence is solid no matter who we are playing and I was glad we were able to keep that intensity up," Garden said. "To keep anyone to just 18

points in senior is good." Offensively, the Panthers managed to have five players scoring. Perhaps more importantly, they showed good execution and managed to eat time off the clock with a ball control offence despite missing a couple key veterans in Hailey Van Rossum and Marlee Van Vlack. "It was a good opportunity for us to get some kids in the game," said Garden. "With nine girls, the message was pretty simple. In order for us to win going forward, we've all got to contribute and you could see that. Girls like Mallory Lindsay started to play harder and girls like Lydia Snider got some buckets." The coach indicated the Panthers found confidence in recent tournament play and it's translating into league action for many players. "All those tournaments do for us is bring us more game situations. When you have to win two-point games or overtime games, that's going to help going forward."

East Division JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER

Could this past weekend be a turning point in the season of the Wellington Dukes? A great weekend on the ice and important developments off it might lead someone sometime later this season to mark a home-andhome sweep over the Lindsay Muskies as the start of something big. Wellington gained four very valuable points to keep pace in the Ontario Junior Hockey League's East Division. With the wins, the Dukes (10-8-0) are just one point behind the Cobourg Cougars with a game in hand for fourth place in the Northeastern Conference. Wellington moved two games above .500 for the first time this season andlooked to add a potential key cog, accepting defenceman Justin Bean back into the fold. Bean was expected to clear OHL waivers today. Add a coming out party by one of the up-and-coming forwards and a dynamite performance by a 16year-old netminder that picked up his first shutout of his OJHL career and the Wellington Dukes have a reason to have a spring in their step. Coach and general manager Marty Abrams said the squad knew they had to have a successful weekend in order to stay in the thick of the division and was pleased with the results overall. “We knew we needed points and, overall, we put together two very good back-to-back games,” he told the Gazette Monday. On Friday night in Lindsay, the Dukes turned their fortunes over to netminder Olivier Lefreniere who stole a pair of points from the Muskies on Sunday, Sept. 20, the last time Wellington was in town.

Abrams said he looked back to that start and knew Lefreniere was comfortable playing at the Lindsay Recreation Complex. “That's exactly it,” Abrams said of his intuition to give Lefreniere the start. “He won us the game in his previous start and feels good in that building.” Despite giving up the games first goal, Wellington went on to score five in a 5-1 win. It was a coming out party for Dukes forward Shaw Boomhower who set up Austin Labelle's game tying goal later in the first frame and scored the game winner on a glorious shorthanded effort with one second remaining in the second period. In the third, he had assists on Labelle's second of the game and Ben Sokay's 11th of the season for a starry four point night. “The things he did Friday were things he did with our spring development team and things he did in preseason,” Abrams said. “He's been somewhat snakebitten around the net but he's leading our team in hits, and he's one of the better penalty

killers in the league. It's nice to see that offensive output and hopefully it leads to more.” Luc Brown would go on to add an unassisted powerplay goal later in the contest for Wellington's fifth marker of the game. On Sunday, the offence didn't flow as regularly but Wellington was able to skate off with a 3-0 win. Rookie netminder Anthony Popovich made 26 saves in picking up his first OJHL goose egg. “That's been his M.O. all the way through minor hockey when he was in the Quinte Red Devil system,” Abrams said. “He's used to winning and has a habit of making the big save at the right time. He was really sharp in the last 5 minutes of the second when they had a push back.” Wellington's Sokay broke the ice in the first half of the opening stanza with his fourth goal in as many games and Wellington doubled its lead later in the frame when Liam Hunter blasted home a power-play goal. Hunter, who has been out of commission since the last

week of the preseason, looked comfortable in just his second game of action in 2105-2016. “We were really methodical in the way we brought him back and it pays that we have such a great relationship with the Picton Pirates,” Abrams said. “We were able to expedite the recovery process by getting him into a couple of games last week and that really helped Liam get ready for Junior A hockey,” Abrams added. The score remained 2-0 until the final second of play when Brodie Butt shuffled the puck into a yawning cage to finalize the scoring at 3-0. In terms of Bean, Abrams said the defender was ready to jump into the lineup on Friday but was sat out over the weekend due to the complicated process of having to go through OHL waivers. The Dukes are hopeful they’ll be able to dress the veteran tomorrow evening when Wellington hosts North York. On Sunday, the Dukes are in Pickering for a 6:30 p.m. puck drop.

October 29, 2014 God's Garden God looked around his garden And found an empty place. He then looked down upon the earth And saw your tired face. He put his arms around you And lifted to rest, God's garden must be beautiful. He always takes the best. He saw the road was getting rough And the hills were hard to climb So he closed your weary eyelids And whispered, “Peace be thine.” It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn't go alone For part of us went with you The day God called you home. It has been one year since you left us, you are always in our hearts Love Patricia, Brian, Vickie, Matt, Kaissy, Andrew, Lindsey and five great grandchildren.

Young Picton squad struggling to score as it remains tied with Campbellford for last place through first quarter of Empire B season

Pirates missing trademark work ethic in tough pair of losses to Gananoque CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

A quarter of the way through the regular season, the young Picton Pirates find themselves at the bottom of the pile. After a 6–3 setback to Gananoque last Thursday and a 10–0 defeat at the hands of the Islanders on Sunday, the Pirates are tied for last place in the Empire. Picton and Campbellford hold identical 2-8-0 records after 10 games. While the hard work has often been there, the goals haven't. A team that in 20132014 boasted five of the league's top 10 scorers now has not one in the top 25. While coach Chris Masterson praised the work ethic of the group earlier this season, he said it has been lacking for three of the past four games. “We knew it was going to be a rebuilding year, we knew we were going to have the youngest team in our league and a bunch of guys with no junior experience,” he said. “The work ethic was there, but over the last two games for sure it hasn't been there.” As a coach, Masterson said the dip in effort has been frustrating. “I'm okay with the club we have if the effort is there and we're competitive,” he said.

“That's what we're demanding as coaches, that's what the fans demand, that's what the organization demands.” Gananoque put on some early pressure last Thursday. Midway through the frame Matt Carter gave the Islanders the lead and followed with another goal two minutes later. Less than two minutes later former Pirate Phil Smith scored a power-play goal to make it 3–0. That would be the end of goaltender Brock Tufts' night as Dustin Myskiw took over. Smith would add another before the period was out and Picton was in a 4–0 hole after 20 minutes. “That's been the story of our season,” said Masterson. “Pretty much every game we've played, save for the two we've won, we've played well and been right there and then we have a spell of five or six minutes where the other team manages to score four or five goals — it's a lack of confidence a little bit.” The Pirates looked like a more determined team in the middle frame. Picton held the advantage in shots and scoring chances and with less than five minutes remaining in the period Tristan Nugent scored on a feed from Nolan Van Vlack to get the Pirates on the

board. Masterson said things improved in the second period, but the Pirates weren't able to erase the deficit. “I was happy with the response after the first period, it's just that in-game mentality.

The guys are having real difficulty staying positive after a goal or two against,” he said. “We have to find a way around that if we're going to be successful.” Gananoque was able to get one back 7:52 into the third

with Nick Maillet finding the twine behind Myskiw. Less than a minute later Van Vlack narrowed the gap once more. Gavin Ronan and Nate Kellar had the assists. The scoring spree continued as Sam Wilson made it 6– 2 for the Islanders 9:03 into the third. Affiliate player Tim Morton would score for Picton at 10:57, but the Pirates weren't able to close the gap. On Sunday, the Pirates suffered another deflating setback. Just under seven minutes into the frame the Pirates were on the power play. However, it was Phil Smith scoring shorthanded to give Gananoque the lead. Despite the goal, Masterson said the team was playing hard. “I went into the room after the first and praised the guys because the effort was great,” Masterson said. The Pirates were able to keep things close, but suffered another setback early in the second. Drew Marquette scored 19 seconds into the middle frame to double the Islanders' lead and he added another just 23 seconds later. Brody Cross and Connor Smith would also add early goals, scoring at 2:56 and 5:04 respectively. “We came out to start the second period very flat and a

couple of quick goals again and we had that bad spell and this was one time where we never recovered from it,” said Masterson. Gananoque would add another five goals in the third period with Sam Wilson, Brody Cross, Cole Serson and Smith scoring. “Like every hockey team you're going to give up a goal or two and it's how you respond to that and so far our response has not been great,” said Masterson. Masterson said he'll lean on veteran over-agers Nate Kellar, Mitchell Merry, Devin McCann and Van Vlack to guide the young team both on and off the ice and keep things positive. Secondly, Masterson said he's looking to make some roster changes. “I'm definitely actively looking to improve the team and shake things up a little bit,” he said. On Tuesday, the Pirates did just that, acquiring defenceman Riley Reynolds, 17, from Campbellford for a player development fee. The Pirates will seek to get back on track tonight when they face Campbellford at 7:30 in Picton. The Pirates then head to Amherstview to face the Jets on Sunday night at 7:30.

Sorbara helps Milk tournament draws teams to area rinks mayor connect More than 800 minor Kings who played a tight Carter Black set up Matthew RESPECT, from page 1

“She agreed that there's no room for partisan politics and they'd look into that,” he said. Quaiff said he also told Sorbara the municipality has repeatedly sought the ear of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry regarding Sandbanks Provincial Park. “We've made presentations about our concerns with Sandbanks Provincial Park and the lack of funding or ability to try to collect more funds,” said Quaiff. He said the municipality presented an idea of a kiosk to collect funds on behalf of the County at the park entrance. The idea of a surtax charged on cars entering the park was also presented. “We do our presentations and walk away and we never hear anything back from them,” said Quaiff. “Quite frankly, I said to (Sorbara) we're almost of the opinion that it should be called the ministry of no response.” From there, Quaiff said he discussed some local health care issues. Quaiff expressed concern about the loss of 78 long-term care beds from Picton Manor Nursing Home. Twenty-two of the beds have already been allotted to Lennox and Addington County General Hospital. With a rebuild of H.J. McFarland Memorial Home on the horizon, Quaiff said the County is trying to make the case for the majority of those beds. However, municipalities and private developers across the region will be competing for them. “We're fighting and striving to keep them as much as we can so we're putting a business case in place.” Following the meeting with Sorbara, Quaiff said he was introduced to many cabinet ministers and had had productive talks with Minister of the Environment and Climate Change Glen Murray. He said Murray apologized for agreeing to a meeting and later saying it wouldn’t happen. “We had a very good conversation and he even sort of hinted that they're going to be looking at forming a committee to revisit the Green Energy Act,” Quaiff said. Quaiff said moving forward he believes the municipality's concerns will garner more respect from the province and there will be better communication.

hockey players skated in PECMHA-run event JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER

When the dust finally settled on Sunday afternoon, over 800 minor hockey players had played in over 100 games in three days at five area arenas thanks to the 6th annual Recharge with Milk minor hockey tournament organized by the Prince Edward County Minor Hockey Association. Area hotels were booked, eateries frequented and the Bay of Quinte region exposed to minor hockey players and their parents that ranged from as far away as Thorold in the west, Huntsville and Deep River in the north and Deux Rives, Que. in the east. “Overall, we've been thrilled with the operation of the tournament,” Convener Jefferson Gilbert noted as the Ainsworth Atom AE Kings did battle with the Deep River Knights at Deseronto Arena Sunday afternoon. “There's been hiccups here and there but it's been a very successful event for PECMHA and the participating teams have been thrilled with the presentation,” he said. In terms of being gracious hosts, Kings teams were just that as no local club was able to skate off with an A championship. The closest any team got was the Essroc Bantam BB

final game with Ingersoll Express. Down 1-0 inside the third period, Dylan Percy set up Nolan Steen for the game tying goal which forced overtime. After a scoreless fourth period, the clubs battled through an 11-round shootout where netminder Noah MacDonald made some spectacular saves. Sadly for the locals, the Express snuck home a winner and skated off with the Championship. The Atom AE Kings hung with a talented Deep River Knights team throughout the game. After the Knights got up 20, the Kings clawed back as

Vincent in the second for halve the score at 2-1. Black and several other Kings snipers had chances to get back to even but were stymied by the Deep River netminder. At the other end, Cooper Facette Grondin made a couple of highlight reel saves including a pair where he picked the puck off the goal line. In the end, the Knights jumped the Kings in the late going for another tally, making the final 3-1. In Pee Wee action, the Kerr Construction Pee Wee BB Kings met a tough Simcoe Warriors club who blanked the locals 2-0 in the A finals.

Seniors step into new roles as team overcomes injuries PANTHERS, from page 16

With Van Rossum out, Garden said Casey Hegadorn has done a great job bringing the ball up the court, while Vanessa Willis is also more than capable of leading the attack up the floor. On Monday, Willis led the Panthers with 16 points. Allison Hegadorn scored eight. Synder and Lindsay had five apiece and Kylie Moyer four. Hannah Smith chipped in a three-pointer. Garden said both of this week's contests will be tough. While below PECI in the standings this year, the Titans team that visits Mon-

day has a strong core group moving up from last year's junior championship squad. The unbeaten Red Devils, whom the Panthers visit Tuesday, are defending COSSA senior champs. They boast a provincial team player and some other repcalibre talents. "They're a top team, but we match up pretty well," said Garden of Bayside. "You have to play the games. Upsets can happen." Both senior games start at 4:30 p.m. In junior action Monday, the Panthers beat Trenton 60-17. Leah Matthew led PECI scorers with 12, Emma Lamorre had eight.

In the ancient Celtic imagination, November 1 or the Feast of Samhain was considered to be a "thin time" when the veil between heaven and earth grew more transparent and the wisdom of our ancestors was closer to us. –Christine Paintner I recall a conversation with a funeral director a few years back. “So many people no longer want a traditional funeral,” he said. “They don’t realize how hard that is for Rev. Lynne Donovan the living.” We need ritual in order to provide structure for our grief and our farewells. Yet our culture is moving away from the practice of rites around death and dying. Within the Christian tradition, Samhain (pronounced "sow-een") became All Saints, a day when we are reminded that we share the world with those on the other side. Yet some of us go through our lives without making a connection with those who have gone before. We can then carry unacknowledged grief and unfinished business. And so whether you claim a spiritual tradition or not we invite you to A Walk of Remembrance on November 1 on the Labyrinth on the Green at St. Andrew’s (31 King St. Picton). It will provide us with a time and a place to remember, to reflect, and to offer thanks for those who have shaped our lives. We begin together inside the Church at 2 pm with an introduction to the history and purpose of the labyrinth as well as guidance around how to engage the labyrinth for our own spiritual practice. We will then move outside to walk the labyrinth together. You are invited to bring an object that is symbolic of your loved one to leave on the labyrinth. Candles will be provided. For further information, call Rev. Lynne at 613-476-1167
