Kiptoo cops third straight marathon crown Kenyan runner overcomes hip injury to win familiar race STAFF WRITER

slowed him somewhat on Sunday.

“I'm still injured and, coming back now, I just wanted to finish the race. I have a hip injury and I haven't run in a marathon since last year when I won this race,” he said. “That's why I wanted to come, win again, and say bye to injuries. I'm doing good now. This was a good long

run for me.”

Kiptoo said he set a goal for the marathon of 2:29:00 but the injury forced him to slow his pace.

“I felt the injury wasn't allowing me to run as fast, so I had to slow down and watch out,” he said. “I promise to come here next year much stronger than now.”

Kiptoo said he appreciates the organizers and the

work that goes into the marathon each year.

“This is a very nice one of my events. I like coming — the organizers are my friends,” he said.

County marathon race director Mark Henry acknowledged the great weather.

“It's got to be three or four years since we've seen anything decent,” he said. “Hope-

fully that will help us build some numbers next year.”

Race manager Kailey Ellis-Chapman said she was pleased with the event.

“It was awesome, it went really, really well,” she said.

“We had a great race, it was good weather, which always makes everything more enjoyable.”

Cuts to the human health resources end of the Quinte Healthcare Corporation (QHC) are coming but the current range of services and beds at Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital appear untouched as the hospital group looks to trim $11.5 million out of its 2016-2017 operating budget.

Monday morning, local media assembled at Belleville General Hospital to hear about QHC's proposed restructuring plans in light of further implementation of the Ministry of Health and Long-term Care's health-based allocation model and quality-based procedures funding formulae that will cause revenue streams to decrease more in coming years.

Replacing a global budget that brought blanket inflationary increases annually, the new funding models reward both areas of high growth and hospitals that are more efficient and can stay at or above median provincial costs for indemand procedures such as cataracts, knee and hip replacements and dialysis.

The best weather in six years was the highlight for Gilbert Kiptoo as he cruised to a third straight first-place finish at the County Marathon.

Kiptoo completed the 12th annual County Marathon with a time of 2:40:07.5 with Ottawa resident Patrick Kelly coming in second with a time of 2:51:46.3.

“It's good, winning is always good,” Kiptoo said moments after completing the 42-kilometre journey from Wellington to Picton.

Generally known among racers for its typically wet and chilly weather, this year's incarnation of the marathon was close to ideal with plenty of sunshine and low winds.

“The weather today was good,” he said. “Thanks for the weather. I have been coming here and the weather has been worse, but today was better. Next year when I come I hope the weather will be like today.”

After sustaining a hip injury while training last year at home in Kenya, Kiptoo was forced to battle through the race. He said he's just starting to get back to normal and the injury

Council eyes partnership that would bring solar panels to rooftops of arenas, curling club Municipality believes it can draw revenue from siting FIT 4 projects on its buildings STAFF WRITER

Council could be entering into a partnership that could bring rooftop solar arrays to community centres in Picton and Wellington.

At a special committeeof-the-whole meeting Tuesday morning councillors approved a motion to enter into a lease agreement with Veridian Corporation and Solera Sustainable Energies Company for the purposes of pursuing a FIT (Feed-In Tariff) 4.0 contract for the rooftops of the Wellington and District Community Centre (WDCC), the Prince Edward Community Centre

(PECC) and the Prince Edward Curling Club.

The motion also says council will sign a memorandum of understanding with the companies for the opportunity to purchase an ownership stake in the rooftop solar projects.

“We could (do the project internally) if we had an appetite to spend $1.5 million and we could get that benefit coming back, but we don't have the experience that Veridian does, we don't have staff with the experience that Veridian and Solera do,” he said.

The FIT 4 window — where proponents can apply for contracts with the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) — opened on Monday and is expected to stay open for about three weeks.

A staff report presented to councillors at the meeting says Veridian and Solera approached the municipality with an interest in leasing the roofs for solar projects.

The proposed PECC project would have 967 panels on the south facing roof above the ice surface and on the roof of the adjacent curling club. The WDCC project would consist of 1,362 panels on the south facing roof above the ice surface and on the flat roof over the administration and recreation hall.

The companies offered the municipality two options: a simple lease agreement that would pay the municipality monthly for a 20-year lease or the option to buy into an equity stake in the project.

Winds keep Miss Canada IV, other hydroplanes on shore Thunder on the Bay still offers weekend full of nostalgia

For Everyone Born A Place at the Table with music by Tom Leighton

CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

Sunday, Oct. 11 10:30am 31 King St., Picton

BACK IN TOWN Ernie and Harry Wilson wave from the bow of the Miss Canada IV during a parade of vintage powerboats down Main Street. Their father, Harold, was in the driver’s seat in Picton on Oct. 3 1950 during an attempt to break the world water speed record. (Chad Ibbotson/Gazette staff)

enthralled with the boat. On Saturday he was to be the on-board mechanic as Miss Canada IV hit the water.

“I was surrounded by memorabilia and most remarkable was my dad's collection of photographs,” he said. “When dad would go to work at the factory on Saturday morning and mom was busy cleaning or cooking, I would go into the place I wasn't supposed to be and take out all the photographs, lay them out on the floor and read all the headlines.”

The powerboat has come a long way, Wilson said, relating the past of Miss Canada IV following the 1950 record attempt. During the run the gearbox exploded from beneath his father's feet, luckily blowing out the side of the boat and not the bottom which would have been disastrous.

Shortly afterward his father gave up racing and the boat was sold in 1951.

The Thompson family purchased the boat and it

became Miss Supertest I. After three years the boat was retired and the family lost track of it.

“My dad got reports in the late 1960s that the

Thompsons had a fire in their compound and Miss Canada IV was burned and gone,” said Wilson.

While the thunder didn't quite get a chance to return, the air was thick with nostalgia over the weekend as the Miss Canada IV returned to Picton for the first time in 65 years.

The restored powerboat was one of many vintage vessels in town for the weekend's Thunder on the Bay — the 65th anniversary recreation of the famous Oct. 3 1950 attempt by Harold and Lorna Wilson to catch the Harmsworth Trophy for the world's top water speed record.

The on-water activities were cancelled on Saturday due to dangerous winds, but those interested still had a chance to get up close and personal with the historic crafts with displays at Hangar 4 of the historic Camp Picton, a parade down Picton's Main Street, and a gathering at the Prince Edward Yacht Club.

Thunder Events owner and operator Larry Ritchie, combined with Miss Canada IV owner Bobby Genovese and his vintage racing team, brought the event together.

Ritchie said other than the uncooperativeness of mother nature, the event was a success.

“We had a good turnout at the airport, the celebration dinner at the yacht club was amazing and we hit all the benchmarks, all the goals except the in-water part,” he said. “It was just amazing.”

It was a special day for many, but maybe none more-so than the Wilson family.

Harry Wilson recalled his parents being

With harvest in full swing in Prince Edward County, it’s an exciting time to visit local restaurants and get a taste of local chef’s creativity mixed with great produce.

Once again this fall, nine restaurants across the county will be giving visitors extra incentive to drop by through the Countylicious promotion which runs weekends from Oct. 30 to Nov. 22. Basically, to encourage more traffic in the shoulder season, the restaurants offer fixed price menus with multi-course meals for $30 or $35.

“Fall Countylicious is an exciting time for Prince Edward County chefs. We are so fortunate to have had some of the best produce and ingredients at our fingertips and you see this reflected on the menus,” said Kimberly Humby, the owner of East & Main Bistro, one of those featured in this fall’s promo.

COMMENTARY Renewable energy welcomed if appropriately located

WHILE it is promising to think a future Bay of Quinte MP would take a strong stand against unnecessary industrial wind developments along the south shore using any federal legislation that could be applied for the protection of species, it is interesting to see that the players in the race — regardless of party — spoke out against the Green Energy Act and against placing those turbines in the county where elected local representatives have said their constituents, by and large, do not want them located.

In a sense, the answers the candidates gave at Tuesday’s Rotary candidates meeting were not surprising. It’s a fiery local issue and there are many voters here in Prince Edward County who have expressed concern — some observers say that was the final straw that got Todd Smith elected in his first campaign over Leona Dombrowsky, though the turbines are provincial projects — it was particularly telling that there was widespread opposition to the way industrial wind projects have been dealt with here.

On many issues, the federal and provincial Liberals have been aligned, even to the point where Kathleen Wynne has taken unprecedented steps to campaign for Justin Trudeau, however, local candidate Neil Ellis said projects should not be located where people are unwilling hosts. Perhaps showing his history as a municipal politician, he also decried a system that doesn’t allow the people most affected by such projects to have a voice in their approval.

NDP candidate Terry Cassidy, another former municipal politician, also said that despite his party being supportive of green energy, he could not approve of the province’s methodology in this instance and said people should demand the best science and the right circumstances for renewable energy. Clearly, projects of this nature do not belong in high-traffic bird environments, they do not belong

Stories From Our Past n The weather bureau reported a strange sequence of conditions in August and September. August was the driest in 25 years and September was the wettest in 25 years with over six inches of rainfall that month. n A fire prevention week editorial suggested Canada lost more than $50 million worth of property to fire in each of the previous three years. It also suggested 80 per cent of that loss was deemed preventable. n Council reconsidered it decision to charge landlords for tenants’ outstanding utilities bills. Several landlords received bills for delinquent accounts and refused to pay.

n Heavy wind storms that swept through the county caused considerable damage to apple crops as many apples were swept from the trees before reaching full maturity. n The storms also caused considerable havoc for commercial fishermen near Pt. Traverse who found their nets filled with black moss. The moss was considered very difficult to remove and required hours of washing before being cast out again. n Garnet Tayler made it a three-way race for Prince Edward-Lennox MP as the Reconstructionist nominee joined Conservative George Tustin and Liberal James W. Clarke.

where endangered species risk are at risk of being harmed, harassed, and killed, they have an impact on cultural heritage, and yes,there is the issue of their link with medical annoyance for some in close proximity.

If candidates with differing political backgrounds can all come together on this issue, why can’t the province simply decide this isn’t the appropriate place to continue its quest for greener energy and it may not be the best method of the many available around the world to move forward? It’s costing taxpayers great amounts of money and putting a lot of strain on a community for something Jean Morrison Debbie McCann many observers feel has been done wrong.

Publisher Business Manager We, at the Gazette, feel there are less intrusive ways to produce renewable energy that probably will prove to be more reliable and have a more effective impact on the grid. Small-scale solar or wind come to mind. Encouraging conservation could also go a long way to changing the way Ontario residents use energy for the better. One suspects a number of those who have spoken out against the projects in the county, much like the candidates whose parties are interested in green energy, would also be supportive of renewable approaches that are safe and appropriate for the areas they’re presented for. An example of that is how County councillors who have been cool to the industrial wind and solar appliKaren Gyde Christine DeMille cations in the past got behind rooftop solar as a way to create energy and generate Classifieds Manager Classifieds some money for taxpayers.

It’s time that all levels of government and citizens from all walks of life talk about energy production and consumption and weigh the pros and cons of each proposal. When there’s overwhelming opposition from all corners to a certain method, however, it should be incumbent on those in our political system to work together and to find better solutions for the sake of all involved.

I'm sorry that the above letter writer is filled with anger regarding the Canadian government's handling of Syrian refugees. I believe, knowing the facts, that this government policy is wise, appropriate and reasonable.

Last December I attended Wycliffe College,Toronto for the granting of an Honorary Degree. The recipient was Rev. Dr. Canon Andrew White. White is also known as the Vicar of Baghdad and was the Rector of St. George's Anglican Church in Baghdad, Iraq. His congregation numbered about 1,200 parishioners with a large number of children. When the Americans pulled out in 2011 Al-Queda became a threat and they kidnapped Dr. White and held him in prison before releasing him.

In 2013 ISIS (The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) invaded Iraq and captured territory south and west of Baghdad. In the ongoing fighting ISIS captured many Christians - in Mosel and other cities; including boys and girls from St. George's Church.

They took two of the children and said to them, "You must now become Muslims!"

The children said, "We can't do that, because we love Jesus!" The ISIS jihadis shot them dead on the spot! They then pronounced and placed

The Archbishop of Canterbury ordered White to leave Iraq.

With thousands of "migrants" arriving on European shores, White "is criticizing European governments.In a statement White said, "It's wrong for European leaders to focus resources on migrants coming from all over the world, while Iraqui refugees who are running for their lives from ISIS are being ignored" "I'm disappointed..."

White asserted. "Not enough is being done to help the most vulnerable, particularly those who have fled religious persecution." "When I see angry young men clashing with border police in Hungary… I feel that the wrong people are at the front of the queue."

ISIS declared last year that its goal was to dispatch 500,00 refugee migrants across the Mediterranean Sea to Europe in 2015. It is suggested that the goal is to flood European countries with migrants with the purpose of overwhelming nations.

Intelligence sources indicate plans are being implemented to integrate 1,000 violent Jihadis with the migrants. This poses a huge security risk for the west.

Families with children escaping the civil war in Syria are legitimate refugees; however

the moment to migrate to the west. It's Christians in several countries who are being hunted down, tortured and murdered by ISIS. Yazidis and Christians are a special target of the Islamic State. According to research

by Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch, ISIS in the summer of 2014, "captured three thousand non-muslim women and forced them into sexslavery",supervised in brothels by female jihadis from Britain.

"In April 2015, the Islamic State sold 216 Yazidis captives, including 55 boys and girls,back to non-muslim humanitarian aid workers."

As reported recently on Radio-Canada, Stephen Harper is receiving strong commendations for his government's support of rescue missions for these Yazidi women. Last May the Prime Minister visited northern Iraq, announcing $139 million in humanitarian aid.

I believe that before citizens criticize, castigate and undermine the government's initiative they should attempt to obtain all the facts.

I agree the Canadian government’s response to the crisis has been measured, reasonable and effective. I applaud the leadership of the prime minister on this file.

NINE, WINE, AND DINE WITH COMMUNITY LIVING

Community Living Prince Edward recently celebrated its 50th anniversary with its first Time For Nine with Wine and Dine fundraising golf tournament. Local wineries and food vendors were on hand to help raise money for affordable and creative housing in the county.

There is not one wind developer in the world who would be in business here if it weren't for the huge tax payer subsidies they receive from the Ontario government.

Wind power with its first to the grid rights can't be stored. When it blows, Ontario's excess power is sold off to Quebec and the U.S. for far less than we paid foreign, for-profit wind corporations to generate it.

I'm sure most six year olds with a lemonade stand know you can't sell the lemonade for less than you paid for the lemons and prosper.

Intermittent wind and solar will not save us from needing other sources of power so we will always need back up from hydro, nuclear and gas despite that crumbling infrastructure.

If Ontario had subsidized every farm and home in the province for personal wind and solar power instead, they would have spent millions less and achieved real value. Power generated by wind turbines in the County will be making a long and expensive journey to the Greater Toronto Area.

The life expectancy of an industrial wind turbine is 20 years. Developers will be long gone with no one responsible to decommission the turbines (cost of about one million each). Our beautiful south shore will become a ghetto of rusting, 500 hundred foot towers which won't be good promotion for the county's cash cow future in tourism.

As for environmental destruction and human health concerns the ministry of the environment placed a safety net in the form of the ERT (Environmental Revue Tribunal) to protect against harm which proved successful in the case of Ostrander Point and the Blanding's turtle. Too bad they were kidding and are now using our tax dollars for high priced

lawyers to contest their own ERT process along with the developer. Imagine if all that money had gone into our hospital instead.

During that six-monthlong ERT in Demorestville in 2013 I heard acoustician Dr. Werner Richarz (witness for the developer and the MOE) conclude, based on studies he had looked at, infrasound from turbines’ low frequency noise was not a serious issue to health. Shortly after he was appointed to the Health Canada Study which concluded the same.

I don't trust this for two reasons.

1) What truthful, scientific study appoints a biased expert with preconceived conclusions? Many studies stating no health concerns have been paid for by developers and the Canadian Wind Energy Association.

2) I also heard Dr. John Harrison (Professor Emeritus) of Queen’s University testify but his conclusions about the health effects of infrasound were quite the opposite. Based on his extensive studies of health and low frequency sound (for which he wasn't being paid) I'd be very worried right now if I lived in South Marysburgh and making plans to attend the WPD ERT hearing over the next few months.

All of this mess thanks to the devil's arithmetic being used by the Ontario Liberals and their (so-called) Green Energy Act which will continue to drive Ontarians deeper into energy poverty while doing absolutely nothing to remedy climate change.

Sadly there is no long term planning and our politicians are only looking ahead as far as the next election. In the energy sector that's not working for future good. It's very concerning because the money they are wasting isn't theirs. It's ours.

DiscARTed, the County of Prince Edward Public Library’s popular art show and sale of creations from discarded books, is happening again this year from Sunday, Oct. 18 to Friday, Oct. 23, upstairs at Books & Company.

Everyone is invited to participate, whether professional artist or not. Works can be any media, the only criteria is that the piece be primarily made from discarded books. Free books for this purpose are available at the Picton branch of the library, upstairs in a dedicated display.

For those who often feel conflicted about altering books, know that these are volumes that are beyond selling or are damaged. The library receives a large num-

INSIDE THE LIBRARY Christine Renaud

ber of donated books, some of which the library simply cannot sell. With little space

to keep unsellable or damaged books, this is a positive way to extend their life when they might otherwise be destined for the recycling bin.

The DiscARTed show was launched three years ago in celebration of Ontario Public Library Week, and past exhibits have included a broad array of original art and crafts that have delighted visitors. There have been imaginative collages, sculptures — both miniature and gigantic — paintings, furniture, and many other inspired pieces.

The show is a fundraiser for the library and The Prince Edward County Authors Festival. Artists choose the price of their piece(s) and, if sold, the artist keeps 50 per cent and the other 50 per cent

is shared between the Authors Festival and the library.

Those interested in taking part in this year’s DiscARTed can simply create their piece and bring it upstairs at Books & Company between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 16.

If your work is a painting, please bring it ready to hang.

The show opens Sunday afternoon, Oct. 18 at 2 p.m. and continues for one week, until Friday, Oct. 23.

This year, we are thrilled to have artist Krista Dalby’s Re:Collections Zine launch and reading coincide with the opening of DiscARTed. This past April, Dalby began asking people to share with her their stories about libraries. Over the spring and summer, she collected all

types of these stories, all personal and true from people of all ages. Now, the more than sixty stories are ready to be returned to the community in the form of a zine (a small magazine) created by Dalby, copies of which will be available at the opening of DiscARTed. Both Krista Dalby and, for the second year, artist Vanessa Pandos will be involved in curating DiscARTed, but we are also in need of volunteers to work short shifts during the show. If you can help by contributing a few hours during the week, we would be very happy to hear from you.

attended their workshop.

Staunton and Scrimger focused on four key elements of writing — dialogue, adding action to dialogue, describing a character or setting, and using metaphors to describe emotion.

The authors indicated these four elements will steer students on to a smoother road of writing.

Sponsored by Books and Company and arranged by educators Shane Sweetapple and Jen Travers, the event started with a simple question from Sweetapple about whether authors had time to do the sessions with the students.

“I feel the kids get a sense of what a story is composed of and the more time they spend with it they will see what is it,” said Sweetapple.

Scrimger added“You can have more fun with it and can get a better understanding of things when you learn what something is.”

“For example, when you play a video game that’s say something like Minecraft or Warcraft, once you get a better understanding of what it is, you can have more fun with it.”

The sessions proved helpful in teaching the students how to break old habits they’ve formed over the years and to experiment with their own way of thinking. It also helped younger students show confidence in writing and to try new things other than standard English skills.

Grade 12 student Sam Johnson explains what knowledge he acquired from the event.

“A couple of cooky guys did a good job teaching us about dialogue and how to work out conflicts,“ he said.

“I took this course because I thought there would be more to do than in the applied class.”

Scrimger detailed his experience in writing.

“I’ve been talking to kids for the last 20 years, I love telling my past experiences and stories.

“I would say every book I’ve written has humour, it’s just what comes out when I speak, I love humour and writing it.”

A fairly recent book published by Scrimger is Zombboy. It embarks on humorous as well as creepy atmospheric elements.

“Zombboy is about a boy who is a zombie who wants to be normal, he’s not accepted by those around him or at school, I love writing stories with more than one emotion.”

Staunton names a novel he recently put out and his experience with kids.

“A recent would be Who I’m Not, I’ve actually been writing mystery lately.”

The genres Staunton writes mainly consists of humour, everyday things and everyday weirdness, and mystery. Two other books Staunton has recently published are Coda, and Jumpcut, Jumpcut is a book in a seven- book series.

DEBATERS From left, the NDP’s Terry Cassidy, Liberal Neil Ellis, and independent Trueman Tuck take

Candidates debate issues in Wellington Audience disappointed Jenkins didn’t participate in public meeting STAFF WRITER

Three of five federal candidates for the Bay of Quinte riding took part in a wideranging candidates' debate held in Prince Edward County last week.

More than 100 people gathered at the Wellington and District Community Centre on Sept. 30 as residents were given a full two hours to question the candidates on a variety of election issues.

NDP candidate Terry Cassidy, Liberal Neil Ellis, and independent Trueman Tuck explored topics ranging from the economy to murdered and missing indigenous women. Conservative Jodie Jenkins and Green Party candidate Rachel Nelems declined to attend the debate which was hosted by the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO), Ontario English Catholic Teacher’s Association (OECTA), Retired Teachers Ontario (ETO), Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation (OSSTF), and the Quinte Labour Council. Busy schedules were cited as the reason for the absence, but that didn't stop the crowd from booing the announcement.

Each of the candidates took shots at Jenkins for not attending the debate. Several residents also commented on his absence, including resident John Burns. “I came here with the expressed desire to ask a question of Mr. Jenkins and I'd like to do that,� he said.

Burns asked how the Conservatives could “account for the fact that the government in office has been the least accountable government that we could possibly imagine.�

Jenkins later contacted the Gazette to say he let the organizers know nine weeks in advance that he wouldn't be attending. He said before the campaign began he made a decision to attend three debates — one in each part of the riding. He said the focus over the last few weeks was on meeting resi-

dents on their doorsteps.

Moderator CKWS's Bill Hutchins opened the evening with a question of his own. Hutchins asked the candidates how their party would increase the maximum EI benefit, how that increase would be funded, and how the parties would increase funding for training and skill development for workers on EI. Ellis said the Liberals would decrease the waiting period for EI benefit to one week from two weeks while increasing funding and providing funding to colleges for apprenticeships. He said the party would like to tackle youth unemployment. He said EI fees would be waived for any employer that hires a youth from ages 19–25 for the first 12 months. “Our unemployment in the youth sector is about 13 per cent right now,� he said. “We have to encourage our youth.�

Cassidy said his party would also look to make changes to bring the benefit “back to what it was intended to be.� He said currently just 60 per cent of what is paid in goes to the employee. He said the NDP would see 100 per cent of the money go to the employee. “That's the kind of thing we have to look is, are we going to do something with the program that's going to give people some decent money to live on,� he said.

Tuck said he would want to see 100 per cent of money paid into the EI benefit go to the employee. “The first reform I would do would be to make sure 100

per cent of all funds goes to the actual workers,� he said.

He said he would also support a guaranteed minimum income for all Canadians, indicating he'd support a yearly wage of $18,147.

Additionally, Tuck said he doesn't believe students should have to pay for their education up to the first diploma or degree.

Athol resident Rob Williams asked the candidates whether they'd support electoral reform in the way of a proportional voting system.

Tuck said he would support several changes including a proportional system. “Proportionate voting is essential to give us more power as citizens,� he said.

He said he'd also support changes to the Canadian Bill of Rights to include the ability to recall MPs from office and to include citizen direct referendums.

Cassidy said the NDP would seek voting reform if elected. “We're going to go for proportional representation, we're not going to debate it after we get elected as to whether we do it this way or that way,� he said. “We're going to do it, and that's something I'm really happy to see happen.�

Ellis said the Liberals too have committed that this election be the last to have a first-past-the-post system if elected. He said while he doesn't believe it's a top five issue in this election, he does believe it's in the top 10.

County wins pair of national economic development awards for marketing Short video, booklet insert recognized at conference in Yukon CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

The County's marketing strategies continue to draw positive attention.

The municipality announced last Thursday that their efforts have been recognized nationally with a pair of awards during the 47th annual Economic Developers Association of Canada (EDAC) conference held in Whitehorse, Yukon on Sept. 19–22.

The EDAC recognized Prince Edward County with their highest award for marketing — the “EDAC Cup” — for the County promotional video “Progress Redefined.”

The vignette features a series of county scenes with a voiceover speaking about the pratfalls that come along with progress.

A media release from the municipality says the 1:20 short video “contrasts a traditional definition of progress with the County's more modern-day definition of progress — a value that is largely engrained in the culture and spirit of the community and

sets the county apart from other destinations.”

The video was produced in 2014 by BBDO Canada and Someplace Nice TV. The municipality also received an award for best single publication for its promotional booklet insert. More than 117 submissions were received from cities and towns from across Canada.

The booklet promotes Prince Edward County as a destination for people living in large urban centres like Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal and outlines the various things to taste and experience locally.

The booklet also provides

trip-planning links and resources.

Community development director Neil Carbone says in the release the award speaks both to the talent of those involved and to the presence Prince Edward County has.

“Receiving national recognition from EDAC is a testament to the extremely creative and dedicated agencies that we’ve had the privilege of working with on these and other projects,” Carbone says.

“It is also a reflection of the community of artists, winemakers, chefs, growers and so many more that make the County such an exciting desti-

nation to market.”

Mayor Robert Quaiff says in the release the award is another feather in the cap of those working hard to promote Prince Edward County.

“These awards are a wonderful honour that recognize the work and commitment of many partners, stakeholders and staff while setting the County apart as a leader in the field of economic development provincially, and now, nationally,” says Quaiff.

The EDAC holds the Marketing Canada Awards competition as a chance for municipalities to discuss and trade ideas regarding market-

ing and promotional materials produced in their respective regions.

The release says since the closure of the former destination marketing office — Taste the County — in 2014, the municipality's destination marketing programs have been handled through the community development department. The department has had a great year, having been featured in Food & Travel Magazine, the fall 2015 edition of the LCBO's Food & Drink Magazine and the August issue of Food & Wine Magazine in addition to the awards.

Queen Elizabeth School recognizes 12 students for respectful behaviour Tiger Success Awards highlight character

The staff at Queen Elizabeth School is searching for character this school year.

Each month, the Picton elementary school will be handing out Tiger Success Awards to students who have demonstrated exemplary character traits.

For September, principal Paul Pickard said the staff picked respect as its focus for the awards.

In a press release it was noted the staff defined respect as valuing self, others, and the learning environment. Students and staff were encouraged to treat others as they would want to be treated themselves with courtesy and dignity.

Each day throughout the past month, staff have made an effort of identifying respectful behaviours and commending students who have shown those characteristics in their daily interactions with others.

“Staff help students learn that being respectful is a positive way to communicate with others,” said Pickard in the release.

Examples of respectful behaviours varied from saying please and thank you, taking turns and sharing, or even just saying “hello” in the mornings.

Older students were encouraged to show positive attitudes toward different concepts, opinions, and ideas.

Monday, Sept. 28 some 12 students were recognized in an awards ceremony for their efforts this month to show respect and character.

Those students include Lucas Louder, Matteo Storms, Sarah Norris, Bree Jones, Ashlynn Connor, Sophie Morliere, Aidan Pendleton, Olivia Lipskie, Kayla Zachariah, Liam Bucknell, Hailey Claxton, and Holli Claxton.

Throughout the school year, the Tiger Success Awards will be part of an all-around effort to create a learning environment that supports social and emotional learning through the eight character attributes identified by the Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board — caring, cooperation, honesty, humour, integrity, respect, responsibility, and trustworthiness.

Activities within the classroom and out-of-school will be catered to nurture those eight guiding pillars of character throughout the year.

Restaurants across region promote local cuisine Belleville, Quinte West eateries featuring county-grown food as part of new promotion ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

A group of restaurateurs in Belleville and Trenton are looking to convince people the region’s acclaimed culinary industry extends beyond the municipal borders of Prince Edward County.

The members formed the Quinte Restaurant Association this year and decided to put together a fall showcase event with the help of Bay of Quinte Tourism, which runs promotions of the region like it’s Cheddar & Ale Trail and its Chocolate & Apple Trail.

Bay of Quinte tourism director Dug Stevenson said the whole concept is a way to give local food a broader profile across the region. “Prince Edward County has got a heck of a reputation when it comes to culinary but you just go north of that water and there's no reputation for restaurants really,� he said. “They wanted to do an event where they could kind of raise aware-

ness they exist but also feature local products. Prince Edward County up to Hastings County is such an amazing farming and agriculture region.�

Stevenson said the $15-35 price-fixed menus event,

In this season of thanksgiving‌my thanks I have been reminded by recent events how very fortunate I have been to share a deep passion with some of the most wonderful people. As you are aware, I am no longer with the Hospice organization but when I was, I had the distinct honour and privilege to contribute alongside with some of the most amazing, gifted, dedicated and compassionate people‌. for that I will be forever grateful.

Quintelicious, runs until Oct. 24 so that it can complement but not directly compete with the existing Countylicious promotion.

While no county restaurants are participating yet — he said at least one has talked to the association — there is plenty of county produce featured.

A quick survey of the menus shows offerings from Barley Days Brewery, the County Cider Company, Sandbanks Estates Winery, the West Moira Orchards, Fifth Town Artisan Cheese, Vaders, and Campbell’s

Thank you for reminding me that volunteers, community builders, and supporters are not something we will ever lack in this community. I am reminded that though we are many, our passion and commitment to our community means we stand as one.

The expressions of unconditional support for me both personally and professionally, and especially the support expressed at the public meeting, have been very heartwarming.

It’s touching to know that people recognize and appreciate all that has been accomplished over the last few years and I know that the important work of Hospice will continue.

Please know how much the outpouring of support and concern has meant to me and my family.

From the notes, emails, phone calls and messages, I have realized how blessed and supported I am in this county community, as well as regionally and provincially, from colleagues, staff, (past and present), to volunteers and families. I also recognize I am indeed fortunate and blessed with the loving support from Gary, my family and my close friends.

With my deepest thanks and warmest best wishes to all ‌.

Some steps to take to put your garden to bed for winter

If you are behind on getting all your fall gardening chores done, don’t worry too much. We still have some beautiful days ahead in October and even into early November to get out in the garden. Remember the words of Maria Rodale, a member of a well known gardening family who said that “nature is very forgiving”. That said what are your gardening priorities?

If you still have bulbs to be planted, get them in now.

Be sure to put some bulb booster in the hole before dropping the bulb in. Some gardeners refuse to put garlic in before November swearing they get a better quality and yield with the late planting.

Cut down the dead and dying plants in your garden. I conscript my husband for this task. He uses his weed whacker and I hold up the plants and tell him about where to cut them down. I pretty much take everything down to the ground except for the echinacea which is still feeding the birds and which also looks really interesting in the snow.

Remove all the dead plant debris by composting except any plant that has mold or mildew. Those should be bagged and taken to the dump or buried so that the disease does not spread. This is particularly important for peonies. You can transplant peonies this time of year but you better hurry up as September is the optimal month

for moving peonies.

Clean up the vegetable garden of rotting vegetables and dying annuals. This can be composted. Leave ornamental grasses, woody herbs such as sage and other plants that will either look attractive in the snow and feed or shelter birds and good bugs. Give up any thought of pruning trees or shrubs. A cut to a plant encourages growth and at this time of year, the plant won’t have sufficient time for new growth to harden off.

Save those chores for early spring.

This is a good time to also protect more vulnerable plants such as roses and lavender with mulch from wood chips, straw or fallen leaves. When the ground has frozen, cut back any long branches from roses that might cause the rose to

rock in the wind. Many shrub roses, as well as some of the miniatures, floribundas and polyanthus do not require extra protection during the winter.

Other roses do require more, so pay attention to those roses that are new to your garden or that barely survived last spring. Even removing spent roses is not recommended as it encourages the bush to continue to produce new blooms. Once the leaves have died back they can be removed along with other garden debris. If they are three plus feet tall cut them back to half the height and tie the canes together. Mulch around the base with a mixture of compost and manure.

Put a good layer of compost down to protect the garden from freeze and thaw which is what destroys many good plants. Compost is also an excellent good soil amendment and the worms will do the work for you as they take compost from above ground and move it underground where it does its best work. Put down the mulch after the ground has frozen and don’t forget that the limbs from your Christmas tree and other greenery are wonderful mulch especially around rhodendrons and hydrangeas.

Oh and don’t forget to fertilize your turf grass in November. You’ll want a fertilizer that has some nitrogen but is higher in potassium as that is the

Empty the soil from pots into the compost and clean out the pots with soap and water before you store them for the winter. You’ll be really happy you did this come next spring.

Put away everything that will not do well outside over the winter be it ornamental, useful or both. Take some time to care for your gardening tools. Wash off your tools with warm water and soap

and dry them thoroughly.

Once completely dry, dip them in a bucket filled with play sand mixed with motor oil. Then wipe them off and store them away.

The Real Thing kicks of PECT’s eighth year Saturday

“A smart play about love” kicks off the award-winning Prince Edward Community Theatre’s eighth season Saturday at Mt. Tabor.

Director Georgia Papanicolaou said Tom Stoppard’s The Real Thing explores the issues of the mind versus the heart when it comes to love.

Papanicolaou said although the Tony Awardwinning play is set in the 1980s, its main themes of love, jealousy and commitment are still relevant to audience members today.

The play also features a high amount of intrigue.

“Stoppard's brilliant use of the English language is on display at its finest and his structuring of the scenes keeps audiences guessing and trying to figure out what and if what they are seeing is on stage is the real thing,” Papanicolaou said.

The cast features some familiar faces as PECI drama teacher Matt Sheahan plays Henry, Wellington Times reporter Mihal Zada plays Annie, Becky Mulridge plays Charlotte, Jacob Dey plays Max, Connor Larkin plays Billy and Brodie, Leah Snyder plays Debbie and Elizabeth Mulridge serves as understudy for Debbie.

Papanicolaou and Larkin are both following up award-winning efforts with last season’s The Drawer Boy — Papanicolaou named best director at the Eastern Ontario Drama League festival and Larkin best student actor. The director said the awards show that the local company is producing top quality entertainment.

“It's such a great feeling to receive recognition for the work that you do and the fact that we are a smaller theatre group and one of the youngest theatre groups competing in the festival circuit at EODL,” she said. “It really meant a lot for us to come away with the awards that we did, specially since we are competing against bigger cities like Kingston, Ottawa and Peterborough that have more resources and have had their theatre groups established for a number of years."”

Some of the production team members who worked on The Drawer Boy are also back behind the scenes for this play and they’ve worked together to put something totally different together for The Real Thing.

“That’s the beauty of community theatre, we’ve got this strong core of vol-

enthusiasm and work to the passion they’re presenting on stage,” said Papanicolaou.

“It’s been a wonderful learning experience for everybody and a real joy for me to work with new talent.”

Saturday’s show opens at 8 p.m. and there will also be a matinee performance this Sunday at 2 p.m. Next weekend, there will be performances Oct. 16 and 17 at 8 p.m. and a matinee Oct. 18 at 2 p.m.

Tickets are on sale for $15 in advance at the Gazette, Imperial Submarine, and the SideStreet Gallery. Tickets at the door are $18.

Available in most new Ford vehicles with 6-month pre-paid subscription.

Ellis said the Liberals have plans to improve finances and healthcare for seniors. He said the retirement pension eligibility would be rolled back to 65 and single seniors on the Guaranteed Income Supplement would get a 10 per cent increase immediately if the Liberals are elected. He said the Liberals have a $20 billion, 10-year plan to invest in “social infrastructure” such as affordable housing and seniors.

“We know price indexing and the cost of living for seniors is higher,” said Ellis.

Quinte West resident Larry Carmichael posed the final question of the evening. He asked whether the candidates would support a federal inquiry into murdered and missing indigenous women, noting that in a 2014 interview Prime Minister Stephen Harper indicated the issue wasn't a priority for the Conservative government.

Tuck said he believes crimes should be fully investigated by the police no matter where it happens or who is involved.

“Enforcement of the laws the way the are, regardless of where the possible crimes occurred, should be fully investigated,” he said.

Ellis said the Liberals would support an inquiry.

“I watched the interview and (Harper) did say that and I was appalled when it came out of his mouth,” he said. “We do support an inquiry.”

Cassidy said the NDP would commit to an inquiry within the first 100 days in office if elected.

“It's that important,” he said. “It's not about just criminal activity, it's a cultural phenomenon that's happening that the Conservative government just wants to simply ignore.”

Advance polling for the upcoming federal election opens Oct. 9 and continues Oct. 10, 11, and 12. The polls will be open from noon to 8 p.m.

Voters in the Bay of Quinte riding should have received information about where they can cast ballots in the advance polls on their voter registration cards.

Wind projects on south shore dominate discussion at Rotary candidates meeting Picton, Wellington club members hear how potential federal representatives would advocate for south shore, address pharmacare ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

The Rotary all-candidates luncheon in Picton Tuesday was dominated by talk of the county’s south shore.

Two of three prepared questions addressed to those wishing to be the first Bay of Quinte MP addressed how the federal candidates felt about the Green Energy Act, the proposed industrial wind projects in South Marysburgh, and the role they’d play in halting those projects if elected Oct. 19.

Liberal Neil Ellis said he didn’t have a sense that his predecessor was too visible on the issue in the past. “We have to look at federal leadership on the issue,� he said. “We have a majority Conservative government now and I don’t feel the last MP really stuck his neck out on this issue.�

That said, Ellis did not support his party’s provincial

brethren with respect to the way it has imposed the projects without municipal input or consent. “As a federal member or provincial, you need to respect your councils and citizens in this area do not want these turbines in the county,� he said.

Ellis said he’d first look to see what protections the federal Migratory Bird Act would offer the south shore, but he’d also send a letter to Premier Kathleen Wynne and the provincial ministries responsible, urging them to come to the table with the County. “It’s about working together with all three levels of government and I think unwilling hosts of green energy should not be hosts.�

Ellis said he admits the Green Energy Act is broken and indicated federal Liberal leader Justin Trudeau has said economy should not trump the environment — but that’s

what appears to be happening.

Ellis suggested the province look to the model of Nova Scotia where green energy proceeds all go to the MUSH — municipalities, universities, schools, and hospitals — sector.

Ellis also said his party does believe in green energy, but there are other ways to introduce renewables. “When you look at this file, nuclear plants need to be

refurbished and when they are refurbished, it’s going to cost 58 cents per kilowatt,� he said. “We have to do a shift in this area in general.�

Ellis said rooftop solar is a prime example of the shift, noting that while he was mayor of council in Belleville, the city installed the largest rooftop solar installation in Canada at that time on the Quinte Sports and Wellness Centre.

Conservative Jodie Jenkins wondered how loud Ellis could oppose the act and the projects when one of the key people drafting the Green Energy Act, Gerald Butts, is a key strategist for Trudeau. “He’s in a difficult position. His party, the Liberal party, campaigns on green energy, which for everyone in the room means more wind turbines, not less,� he said. “It’s one thing to agree with people quietly in a room like this, it’s another to come out strongly and completely advocate to say we’re not going to stand for it.�

That’s the type of advocacy Jenkins said he’ll offer as his party does not support the act or the turbine proposals. “On the Green Energy Act, we completely oppose it.

From our government’s perspective, we know it’s killing jobs, it’s killing the economy, and it’s increasing your hydro rates — and I don’t think one person in here would stand up and say they’re happy with hydro rates.�

Jenkins added “I can guarantee you right here I’m going to use every influence in my

office to make sure it’s not a moratorium, but rather no wind turbines, period.�

He charged the province is not listening to people and said he’s already been active.

He attended a rally in Milford last month and has talked with senior Tories about projects, including Pierre Poilievre, whom Jenkins credited for helping to stop a project near Ottawa.

Ellis and independent Trueman Tuck both questioned what power Jenkins would have to speak out if elected as a first-term MP, given that long-tenured Daryl Kramp couldn’t step in to stop the project.

A registered lobbyist and paralegal, Tuck said he worked with Kramp on the wind file over the years but didn’t feel he was working with a true advocate to stop the turbine proposals.

Tuck indicated he’s been lobbying the federal government to get involved in preserving the south shore. “I spent almost two years working closely with Daryl Kramp. He set up appointments for me at the senior levels and ministry staff. He helped me out in all the normal ways, but when push comes to shove as everyone in this room knows the Conservative government is absolutely terrible on putting protecting the environment ahead of helping their corporate global friends.�

Tuck cited the federal Species-At-Risk Act and said it has enough teeth for the federal government to intercede, but he found reluctance. “This act protects birds, turtles... anything,� he said. “We have to get these people making the big bucks working for us to use the existing laws and to enforce them.�

NDP candidate Terry Cassidy was not at the meeting.

Later, he told the Gazette his campaign team had the date incorrect. He said he wanted to make it clear his non-attendance wasn’t a sign of not wishing to participate.

In fact, Cassidy said he’d email written answers to all questions to all Rotarians and any others wishing them.

Cassidy said he, too, attended the recent rally at Mt. Tabor and he feels the current projects proposed for South Marysburgh and Athol are an example of a process that “wasn’t done well,� but adds he doesn’t want to throw the baby out with the bathwater on renewable energy. “There’s clearly a lot of turbulence going on with the wind turbines, pun intended,� Cassidy said.

He noted the NDP is in

favour of renewable energy projets but they have to be done with the best science available, with no detrimental effects to health or to wildlife, and there should be local input in the process. “What you have now is very effective groups lobbying in the county,� he said. “Their concerns have not been addressed and they have my support.�

Cassidy said, however, he believes finding alternatives to fossil fuels is an important priority for government.

He also indicated the NDP would look to strengthen the species-at-risk legislation he says the Conservatives have weakened while in office.

The third question of the debate discussed plans for pharmacare and providing affordable prescription drugs for Canadians.

A long-time operator of a naturopathic health store, Tuck said part of the solution is moving toward an integrated medical system that takes advantage of traditional medicines, preventative care, and self-care aspects.

Jenkins said the Conservatives support bulk buying with all of the provinces and territories with partnerships involving all levels. “We believe that could save hundreds of millions of dollars and also improve access,� he said.

He added transfers to the provinces for health care have increased during the time the Conservatives were in power.

Ellis said when the 2004 Health Accord was signed with the provinces, the Liberals had introduced a pharmacare strategy. The plan was killed by the Conservatives in 2006, he said, and added the government has done nothing in the past eight years to move the issue forward.

He said his party introduced a new $3-billion home care strategy that would be part of its pharmacare approach. He also added that in renewing the Health Accord Act with the provinces, the Liberals would also work with provinces on bulk buying concepts. “Part of it is buying bulk prescriptions as all provinces of Canada and part of it is to reel big pharma in,� he said.

Cassidy said the NDP sees universal pharmacare as the second step to Tommy Douglas’s work to introduce universal health care in the 1960s.

He indicated the NDP has a plan to work with the provinces to fund universal drug coverage and it will also invest in bulk purchasing. He said addressing pharmacare should help with other quality-of-life indicators.

Cassidy said even a month-long illness or injury could mean a substantial loss of disposable income for many Canadians and for seniors on fixed incomes or others living in poverty, drug costs can impact on staples like food or heating. “They have to be able to live,� he said. “The time has come for change.�

Harrison says he thinks county Community Care, Canada Post employees offer reassurance could have received better return As the days get shorter and calls the office and we folTHANKSGIVING SOLAR, from page 2

Preliminary estimates have indicated a generation capacity of about 224 kilowatts at the PECC and 340 kilowatts for the WDCC. Based on a return of $15 per kilowatt the municipality would receive a payment of $3,360 per year for the PECC and $5,100 per year for the WDCC. That would be $102,000 over the life of the project for the WDCC and $67,200 for the PECC over 20 years.

The equity option would see the municipality purchase a stake of 15 per cent of the project (though the municipality could negotiate for a larger stake) while Veridian would hold 70 per cent and Solera would hold the remaining 15 per cent.

The projected return on the investment is about 12 per cent.

If the municipality invested 15 per cent into the joint venture on the WDCC the project would cost about $130,752 while generating $314,000 over the life of the project. For the PECC the cost would be about $95,000 while generating $228,000 over the life of the project.

These numbers are based on the FIT 4 rate of $0.225 per kilowatt hour for rooftop projects greater than 100 kilowatts.

Councillor David Harrison wasn't satisfied with the

return on the projects. He said the return for the simple lease agreement is too low and most homes pay more in tax than what the companies are offering in the lease. He indicated he wouldn't support the agreement when it comes to council unless staff can negotiate a better return for the municipality.

“The concept is good, I just don't think the deal is sweet enough to be very truthful,” he said. “Over that period of time for that much money, I can see that money eaten up in costs and aggravation.”

The companies have done preliminary structural analyses of the buildings and have found them suitable for the projects as advancements in arrays and panels have reduced the load the roof would be expected to carry.

Staff also indicated the arrays would have a negligible impact on the municipality's insurance costs and said staff have negotiated language into the proposed agreement that would ensure the array won't impact the current warranty on the WDCC roof.

If the agreement is approved by council and if the project ultimately receives a FIT contract, the construction of the project wouldn't begin for about a year.

the temperature drops we start to think of the long Canadian winters.

Cold weather and snow can be a burden for seniors and change their mobility options and their outlook, too.

Just for the asking, through a service offered by Community Care, seniors can have Canada Post employees keep a friendly eye on them. Canada Post employees who deliver mail in rural areas of Prince Edward County are ready and willing to go the extra mile for seniors.

Seniors need only contact Community Care to register for the Rural Route Reassurance Program.

Once requested to do so, Canada Post employees that deliver mail in rural areas will keep an eye open for any signs that a senior might need help. In that event, contact will be made with Community Care, and we’ll take the appropriate action as prearranged with the client.

2015 marks the 31st year of this partnership program.

The Rural Route Reassurance Program is an example of the spirit of co-operation between Canada Post Corporation, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW), and The Prince Edward County Community Care for Seniors Association.

Seniors capture medal for second time in as many tournaments this season

Dukes take double-overtime win in Whitby

Panthers find hoop in overtime to earn bronze in Belleville

Conference player-ofthe-month finalist Brown finds twine to cap four-point game

ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

The PECI Senior Basketball Panthers went overtime to capture bronze medals at the Gord Smith Memorial Tournament in Belleville over the weekend.

The Panthers found themselves trailing the Centennial Chargers by two late in the bronze-medal game. With 18 seconds off the clock, the Panthers pressed the Chargers hard off the inbounds pass when Allison Hegadorn forced a turnover. Coach Rob Garden said she was able to move the ball to sister Casey who fed Vanessa Willis below the basket. She made the shot to force overtime.

Buoyed with the momentum from a strong finish, the girls in burgundy would not be outdone.

"We played our best four minutes of the tournament," Garden said.

The Panthers outscored the Chargers 13-9 that period to win 51-47 overall. Post player Kylie Moyer stepped up her play when it mattered most, contributing six points. Casey Hegadorn chipped in her second three-pointer of the contest and Willis was bang on with four of her 21 points in the contest.

"We did all of this with four of our starters playing with four fouls for the entire fourth quarter and overtime," Garden said. "The girls proved they have what it takes to win tight games and it was a great team effort for us."

Centennial's Sierra Peck led all scorers with 32 points.

Her teammate Vanessa Beaudrie chipped in 12.

On Friday, the senior girls opened the tournament against Panthers of a different stripe from Albert College.

Albert's Kaitlin Kawam had a strong individual effort with 28 points, but the Panthers' depth outweighed that as seven girls got on the score-

sheet in a 50-37 game. Garden said Albert had trouble containing his team's size down low. Moyer had 17 points, Lydia Snider 12, and Wills nine.

The lone setback of the tournament came in Game 2 when the Panthers played the St. Paul Falcons, a team they had just beaten Thursday in league play. PECI had a backto-back game on its schedule and Garden said the team simply ran out of gas in a 3833 contest that would have put them into the gold-medal game. The Panthers were outscored in each quarter by the Falcons. Julia Tees led a balanced St. Paul attack with 17 points, supported by Janea Staal with eight. The Panthers got eight points from Willis and six points from Moyer in the loss.

Thursday's game in Trenton saw the Panthers jump out to a 15-9 lead on the Falcons only to find themselves trailing by one going into the fourth quarter. They were able to regroup as they held St. Paul to just two points during the last stanza to win 38-33.

Willis was the game's leading scorer with 15 points. Moyer had 12. Tees led the Falcons with 10.

The Panthers were to host East Northumberland and Centennial after press time yesterday before visiting Centre Hastings tonight prior to the Thanksgiving break.

The Junior Panthers also captured bronze, beating Moira 50-16 in their thirdplace game.

JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER

The Wellington Dukes won one of their scheduled two games this past weekend but that's more than alright for the local Junior A club.

Wellington was originally scheduled to host the Newmarket Hurricanes on Friday night at Essroc Arena and then travel to Whitby to take on the Fury in a Sunday afternoon affair.

Due to bussing issues, the Hurricanes couldn't make it to Wellington on Friday, causing a postponement of that game.

On Sunday, there would be hockey played as the Dukes snuck out of Whitby as double overtime winners, downing the hosts 5-4.

The win moved Wellington to 6-5-0 and just one point back of second place squads Kingston and Cobourg.

After a scoreless first, Wellington got out to a two goal lead in the first half of the second stanza.

Ben Sokay broke the ice just over three minutes in and then Nick Devito picked up a power-play goal at 7:42 to make it a two goal spread.

But Wellington would see that lead carved in half on a Whitby power-play goal just under two minutes later and then extinguished thanks to a Fury shorthanded marker at 16:49.

Momentum swings and special team gaffes are generally the earmarks of a young hockey team finding its legs and Wellington Dukes coach and general manager Marty Abrams agreed.

“We really let Whitby off the hook with undisciplined penalties in the offensive zone, 200 feet from our goaltender,” Abrams told the Gazette. “We talked about it as a team and about taking penalties at the wrong time.”

After giving up a shorthanded goal and power-

play goal in the second, Whitby cashed in on another power-play opportunity in the third to move ahead 3-2.

But just under two minutes later, Ben Sokay potted his second of the season to tie it back up 3-3.

Wellington moved ahead 4-3 as Luc Brown picked up his third assist of the contest on Dylan Mascarin's fourth goal in six games with just over five minutes to play.

With Wellington in the driver's seat inside the final two minutes of the game, Whitby bench boss Scott McCory lifted netminder Jordan White prior to a face off in the Wellington end.

Whitby maintained possession and eventually the puck found Kevin Dimango in front of the Wellington

starter Austin Washkaruk and there was precious little the netminder could do to stop Whitby from tying it back up.

After a 4-on-4 overtime period solved nothing, the teams moved to 3-on-3.

Just 39 seconds in that session, Whitby's Ryan Heeps took a minor stick infraction that temporarily saved the game but set up a four-on-three power play.

Controlling the play off the draw, Jacob Panetta quickly set up a one timer for OJHL Northeast Conference September player-ofthe-month runner up Brown and the Napanee native blasted a puck through White for the game winner at 42 seconds.

After losing out to

Markham Royal Tyson Bruce, the Duke captain has a good start on October POM, picking up four points in his first game this month.

“It's Luc Brown's time,” Abrams said. “This is his opportunity to step up and lead this team on and off the ice and he's doing it.”

Brown and the Dukes take on Stouffville in a home-andhome series this weekend that starts in Wellington Friday night and wraps up in Spiritville on Saturday.

Wellington then hosts Cobourg for the Cougar's first visit to the Essroc Arena on Sunday night.

Friday and Saturday night's games start at 7:30 p.m. While Sunday's game is a 7 p.m. puck drop.

Results not indicative of Pirates’ effort in 4-1 Napanee road win ethic and that's all I can really ask for,” he said.

Despite the loss, Masterson said he was happy with the team's overall defensive game.

“We've been preaching (defence) from Day 1, that's our key to success, to be solid defensively,” said Masterson.

“Other than the first game of the season we have been extremely solid defensively.

Overager Merry shows leadership with strong start in close contest CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

The Picton Pirates' record didn't improve this week, but the club continues to see improvements in work ethic and defensive systems.

The club's record fell to 1-30 after a 4–1 loss to the Napanee Raiders last Thursday in Picton.

Pirates coach Chris Masterson said the final score wasn't the whole story.

“It was a tight game, we worked extremely hard,” he said. “They scored a late goal with two-and-a-half minutes left and an empty net goal, so I don't think the score was indicative of the game.”

The Pirates got behind early with Austin Boulard giving the Raiders a 1–0 lead 3:44 into the opening frame.

Picton didn't seem deflated following the goal and continued to pressure the Raiders and create some solid opportunities in the Napanee zone.

Midway through the period Mitchell Merry evened the score with a good solo effort, firing the puck from a sharp angle and finding room through Raiders puckstopper Cameron Parr.

The teams would end the first period on even ground tied at one goal apiece and each with 13 shots.

“We came out strong,” said Masterson. “We had a couple of guys out and having only three lines can get tough when you get to the third period — especially in a high-energy game like that — so we sagged a bit late, maybe a little

CRASHING Picton Pirates forward Mitchell Merry goes to the bit due to fatigue, but the first period was definitely a strong period.”

Overage player Merry leads the team with five points in four games. Masterson said Merry's experience has been an asset for the club early this season and he has been a leader on and off the ice.

“He has all kinds of speed — he's definitely the fastest skater on our team and one of the fastest guys in the league,” he said. “He's an overage guy so he has lots of experience.

He's been outstanding for us, he's really positive and he's shown great leadership and effort so far.”

The Pirates continued to play well defensively in the second period, keeping them off the score sheet while limiting chances. That changed with less than five minutes remaining in the period when Aidan McFarland beat Picton goalie Brock Tufts to take the lead. Boulard and Cullen Hinds had the assists.

The Raiders came away with the slight 12–8 advantage in shots in the frame.

Picton managed to keep the game within a goal for the majority of the third, but with 1:35 remaining McFarland potted his second of the contest to make it 3–1. Jordan Cannons would add to the lead with an empty net goal at 19:15 and the Pirates were out-shot 39–27 overall in the loss.

Atoms capture county’s first in-season hockey tournament win this year in Centre Hastings

The Terra Vista Landscaping Atom BB Kings are the first Prince Edward County Minor Hockey Association club to win an in-season tournament.

The Kings were victorious on Saturday in Marmora, capturing the A championship at annual Centre Hastings tournament on Saturday.

After rolling through the first two games undefeated, the Kings matched up with a large Norwood Hornets squad that seemed ready to use their size to intimidate.

But speed kills and in this case, the speedy Kings skated past the stung Hornets 8-1.

Dominic Guerrera potted a hat trick for the Kings who blasted better than 30 shots on the Norwood net. Ben Smith, Lucas Algar, Reese Kleinsteuber, Riley Grimmon and Kieran Young also scored.

In the club's second game of the day, the Kings survived a scare from the Tweed Hawks, shading them 2-1.

Kleinsteuber got the Kings on the board while Smith

cashed in the game winner.

In the first game of the tournament, the Kings were ungracious guests, clobbering the host side 12-0.

Smith and Garrett Kempers both had hat tricks while Grimmon (two), Kleinsteuber (two), Algar and Liam Rice each lit the lamp.

Goaltender Austin Stock picked up the shutout and had all three Kings wins.

The Kings welcome the Douro to Essroc Arena on Sunday, Oct. 18 at 4:15 p.m.

In other Kings news... n The Ainsworth Funeral Home Atom AE Kings swept both their games this past weekend, winning a laugher against Brighton on Saturday and downing Stirling Sunday.

Hosting the Braves in Picton, the Kings dominated right from the start and rode a balanced attack to an 11-1 victory. Matthew Vincent blasted a hat trick for the Kings while Ethan Snider (two), Carter Black (two), Nolan Brinco (two), Dakin Jones and Kee-

gan Zantingh also scored.

On Sunday in Stirling, the Kings and the Blues played it close to the vest in the first period but it would be Doxtator opening up the scoring in the second.

Jones, Brinco and Dante Closson also bulged twine as part of a four-goal attack.

The Blues would get it to 42 in the third but it was Doxtator salting it away for the locals, making the final 5-2.

Cooper Facette-Grondin picked up the wins tending net for the Kings.

The Kings hit the ice again on Saturday when they host Napanee in Picton for a 2:45 p.m. Puck drop. n The Beatty Seeds Novice BB Kings didn't spare the whip in their only action of the weekend, blowing out the visiting Otonabee Wolves Sunday in Wellington by a score of 10-0.

Jaxson Payne lead all scorers with a handful of goals while Mitchell Sills had a hat trick. Connor Barton and Kaden Koutroulides each had

singles. Lainey Van Vlack and Alex Pickle shared netminding duties and split a shutout. n The Essroc Bantam BB Kings are 2-1-0 in their last three games as they try and move up in the standings.

Last Wednesday, the Kings were in Baltimore where they muzzled the Ice Dogs 5-0.

Noah MacDonald picked up a shutout for his efforts in the Kings cage while Ben Wells had a pair of goals to pace the Kings.Nolan Steen, Riley St. Pierre, and Jackson Fox also scored.

On Saturday, the Kings returned from the far north with two points as they grounded the Bancroft Jets 6-3.

Connor Verhoog led a balanced attack, sniping a pair of goals.

Dawson, St. Pierre, Billy Gregory and Jackson Fox also tickled the twine for the locals.

On Sunday, the Kings were stifled by the visiting Campbellford Colts,dropping a heartbreaker 2-1.

Ashley staked the Kings to

a 1-0 lead partway through the second but it was the Colts tying it up less than 20 seconds after the home side scored and moving ahead inside the final two minutes to play in the frame.

The Kings look to get back on the right track when they tangle with the Centre Hastings Grizzlies in Madoc on Tuesday night. n The Canadian Tire Bantam AE Kings were on the road to open their season and earned a split in their first two games.

On Saturday in Ennismore, the Kings downed the Eagles 6-4 thanks to a Cole Matthews hat trick.

Skylar Cole, Ian Forsyth and Brady Lane also scored for the locals in a game where their positional play and passing was in mid-season form.

On Sunday evening in Peterborough, the Kings ran into a well oiled and majoraged maroon and white hockey machine, dropping an 8-1 decision. Tristan Lavender scored the lone goal.

The Kings host the Belleville Jr. Bulls on Saturday in Picton for a 4:15 p.m. Start. n The Kerr Construction Pee Wee BB Kings continued to roll in the OMHA Eastern League standings this weekend, moving their record to a spotless 3-0-0 thanks to a pair of home wins.

On Saturday, the Kings slipped past the Douro Dukes 3-2 in Wellington.

cARd Of thAnKs

Helferty extends sincere gratitude to relatives and friends for their comfort during this sad time. We greatly appreciate those who have helped Mom, especially after Dad passed away 9 years ago, in particular, her neighbours Michael and Pauline Smith and Chris and Maura Hazelton who visited and hosted Mom on my occasions.

Along with us, they enabled Mom to remain in her home of 66 years until January of 2015. Also, a special thank you to her sister-in-law, Celia McAlpine who for those 9 years took Mom shopping every Tuesday then joined her for lunch at 32 Main. These visits continued during Mom’s time at the Manor. To the Manor on Loyalist Parkway, we are deeply grateful for the warm welcome Mom received from Tracy, Barb and Echo on that cold January morning and for the continued compassion and care. Helen Kemsly, who was a bridge player friend greeted Mom with “open arms” and made her transition so much easier. A special thank you to Mom’s PSW, Ed Clapp who promised he would never let her fall... and he did not. We appreciate the ladies who drove Mom to her regular bridge games, Roxie, Sonja, Myrna and Eleanor and to Lois, Maggie and Fran for their visits and flowers. Our sincere gratitude to Dr. Koval and Dr. Haig for their years of care. A special note of thanks to Dr. Haig for her compassion and tenderness during those last difficult days. During Mom’s final hour, it was so very comforting for our family to have Fran Langlois with us, as well as Mom’s PSW Erin and MLP staff member Sheri. Also thank you to Heather Campbell. The kindness of Deacon Bill Gervais shown to Mom is appreciated by our family. Our mother very much enjoyed and appreciated the visit from Father Timothy Shea a month before her death. He later delivered the homily at her funeral mass officiated by Father Thomas J. Thazhappally. Thank you to Greg Garrett and the choir for the beautiful music. The family has been overwhelmed by the donations of food, flowers, phone calls and charitable gifts in Mom’s memory. Thank you to Michael Humphrey and the staff at the Whattam Funeral Home. Our mother was a wonderful Mom and we will miss her always. The Helferty Family.

We watched you fade away; And though our hearts Were breaking.

We knew you could not stay.

You left behind some Aching hearts.

That loved you most sincere; We never shall and never will Forget you, husband, father, grandfather dear.

Love you forever, Mary, Harold, Carol, Anne Marie, Russell, Jordan, Trevor, Dylan.

July 14, 1943 - October 11, 2011 Mothers are to be cherished and loved.

My mum has always been more than just my mum, she was my friend and my heart.

She is so much of who I am, and I miss her.

She is with me everyday in my memories, and I see her in our children, and I am grateful for the times we shared as a family.

There will always be a piece of our heart that smiles, whenever we think of you.

Love you always Nana, Jeff and Sheryl, Zac and Tessa.

In memory of a Daughter, Mother and Aunt, who was taken from us suddenly on 07 October, 2013.

You never said I’m leaving You never said goodbye You were gone before we knew it and only God knew why.

A million times we needed you A million times we cried If love alone could have saved you You never would have died.

In life we loved you dearly In death we love you still In our hearts you hold a place that only you can fill.

It broke our hearts to lose you but you didn’t go alone A part of us went with you the day God took you home.

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

Rest in Peace

Courageously on October 5, 2015 in his 36th year at his home on Big Island. Stephen is survived by his loving Parents Jim and Sharon, brother Jay, grandparents Ross and Doreen Suddard and many uncles, aunts, cousins and friends. He was predeceased by his grandparents Bob and Eleanor Crowells and Aunt Karen. He will be missed by his precious Abbey.

Stephen had many wonderful caregivers but was especially grateful for Sheri, Leslie, Andrew, Jen, Heather, Carol and Dr. Nancekeville. He developed a special bond and friendship with Dr. Jason Franklin who kept his spirits up while recovering from his many surgeries. With Stephen's passing we remind others that his life is one to be celebrated.

Although we will miss him everyday especially his sense of humour he will remain forever in our hearts. In Stephen's own words he wrote for Manuary 2015 "Don't put things off in life and don't let cancer dictate what you can and can't do. Push yourself to the limit and surround yourself with happiness and the people you love". A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday October 10, 2015 at St. Mary Magdalene Church in Picton at 11:00am.

Reception to follow at the church.

In Lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Mary Magdalene Church Tower Project.

In loving memory of a dear son and brother “Tony” Anthony Arthur, who passed away suddenly October 19, 1973.

Do not stand at my grave and weep; I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn’s rain.

When you awaken in the morning’s hush, I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight.

Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there, I did not die.

Lovingly remembered by his family.

cOnwAy, Ryan patrick Andrew John

(1981-2015) The Lord blessed our dear son with a peaceful death from heart issues Thursday, October 1 after a day of happiness and hope in his new Kingston apartment. His beloved Ashley struggled unsuccessfully to revive him. His loss is deeply grieved by parents Linda and Brian and older siblings “big sis” Sarah and “little sis” Dawn, with her supportive fiance Noel. Through many struggles Ryan and his sisters forged a relationship of respectful mutual love. Ryan delighted this grandparents Ray, Rudy, John, Catherine and Fred (all now deceased). He loved them as he did his many uncles, aunts, cousins and the Cako Family. He was a good person: easy-going, charming, never envious, always generous especially to those down on their luck.

He loved people, animals (especially his “lil buddy” Tyson, Gerry, and Schatzy), reading, watching films and playing team sports. He enjoyed learning, earned college degrees, and worked hard at various things. As a young adult he came through many troubles: wounded but standing tall. We are grateful to Ashley who brought him happiness. And thank the coaches who inspired him, especially Tony, Rick, Gary, Steve, Carl and Jake.

Cremation has taken place. There will be a private memorial service and internment in Mt. Olivet Cemetery. In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to Addictions and Mental Health Services (AMHSKFLA, 107 Wellington Street, Kingston, ON K7L 3C6.) Please pray for Ryan and those grieving his absence. And show compassion to young people marginalized by unemployment, poverty, and rejection.

Do not go where the path may lead you; go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

“QHC and its board remain committed to the future of all four of our hospitals,� said QHC vice-chair Doug McGregor. “I want to be clear that the Trenton Memorial Hospital, Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital, North Hastings Hospital and Belleville General Hospital are all here to stay and they will each have – at a minimum – a 24-hour emergency room, inpatient beds and diagnostic services.�

Undertaking the move to conduct the largest health reform change the organization has ever seen, McGregor explained that some services will be moved from hospital to hospital (as in the movement of surgeries from TMH to BGH) or into the community where service is duplicated. “We believe this will have minimal impact to our patients,� McGregor said. “It will be disruptive to many QHC employees and we ask for their and the community's understanding as we go forward.�

QHC chief executive officer Mary Clare Egberts said she had informally met with union officials prior to making Monday's announcement and had discussed the proposals briefly.

Adjusting the clinical service distribution will allow QHC to perform at least at median cost in comparison to the rest of the province.

Of the $11.5 million saved in the restructuring, $7 million will be recouped in non-clinical areas while 4$.5 million will be saved through direct care savings.

Some of these savings in direct care come by way of eliminating the need for sterilization services, supplies, imaging and laboratory work for the orthopaedic surgeries, such as arthroscopy, and some urological, gynaecological and

dental surgeries that were taking place at TMH. In terms of non-clinical areas of savings, there will be changes in almost every department to ensure the hospital is meeting the median benchmark performance in areas of info systems, materials management, hospitality and security, for example. “The bottom line is that we need to get our costs at least at median of all the hospitals across the province to stop losing additional funding,�

Egberts explained, adding that while the consolidation of services will net the organization savings, there will be job loss. “We cannot minimize impact on staffing. You cannot take $11.5 million out of a budget and not have it impact staff,� she said.

Egberts explained the restructuring is a fundamental shift in how we think about our hospitals. “We cannot continue to spilt secondary services between to hospitals,� she said. “We can support three strong primary care hospitals that will have a 24/7 emergency room, the required number of inpatient beds for adequate family physician level of care, basic diagnostic and imaging services and some hospital based clinics.�

Almost all of the secondary services need to be delivered at a secondary regional hospital like BGH so that they can be delivered in a cost efficient, high quality manner. “Our region is small compared to other areas of Ontario and our volumes are decreasing. Without the volumes, you can't have the efficiencies,� she explained.

Many health watchers in Prince Edward County expected the low-risk endoscopy program at PECMH to be cut during this round of restructuring but that won't be the case- provided the need for this type of diagnostic procedure doesn't wane. “We will be able to have low risk regional endoscopy services at PECMH as long as we keep doing the same volumes we are doing today,�

Egberts told the media. “The current volumes are being delivered in an efficient manner and through the formula, you cannot achieve the efficiency if you do not have the volume but we are pleased to offer this service as long as our volumes remain constant.�

The president said that the restructuring does not alter the plans for a redeveloped PECMH. “We are still working diligently to have the application for a new hospital in Picton move through the MOHLTC process,� she added.

TMH will still offer regional cataract and cystoscopy surgeries but other minor day surgeries are on the move. “In looking at these surgeries, we found only one third of the day surgery patients were from the Quinte West/ Brighton area so two thirds were already travelling for their procedure,� she said.

Over the past five years, QHC has carved almost $25 million out of its budget but until recently, didn't know exactly why it was falling short under the new health funding formulae.

Last winter in Picton at a

meeting of concerned residents, Southeastern Local Health Integration Network Executive Director Paul Huras said QHC's cost structure was “out of whack� compared to other hospitals said it was one of a handful of hospitals in the 8that started “behind the eight ball� when the province developed funding models to rein in spending. .

Egberts was asked by the Gazette why QHC matched up poorly with other hospitals. “It took us a long time to answer that question,� Egberts said. “We went to the (SE LHIN), the Ministry of Health and no one could help us answer that question.�

Finally, the hospital reached out to the Hay Group and brought in a consultant that helped the province develop its new funding models and that individual worked with QHC chief financial officer Brad Harrington to determine exactly what was causing QHC to lag. “They spent three days pulling apart the formula,�

Egberts said.

Ultimately, it was determined QHC was suffering from two major issues that was causing the operation to be inefficient when compared to other hospitals. “The overhead, and that's everything that is not direct patient care such as cleaning rooms, portering patients through the halls, health records-all of those costs are higher than they should be,�

Egberts said.

The other key factor, and perhaps the largest one, is critical mass. “Because QHC does a little bit of everything but we don't do any one thing to a huge amount, it's difficult for us to achieve the efficiencies that happen across the rest of province,� Egberts said. “We have to try to get critical mass in certain areas of the hospitals and that's why those 2.400 surgeries that were at TMH have to come to BGH.�

While its been difficult to get up to speed with push to reform health-care funding in Ontario, chief of staff Dr. Dick Zoutman said it was a move that had to happen. “The health system reform is essential to all Ontarians and if we don't operate within these new models we are doing a disservice to the community we serve. This restructuring is a move towards an efficient and effective hospital,� Zoutman said.

Judging by Egberts comments regarding the deep examination by Harrington and company, it appears that the ministry perhaps didn't factor a multi-site, multi-offering low volume hospital into its funding models. “I would offer that after the examination, we are the hospital that understands the formula the most and I think the Ministry has learned a lot from what we are now sharing with them,� Egberts said.

QHC will host community, staff and physician education sessions on its long term visions and offer an opportunity to provide input on the proposed changes.

By mid-November, QHC’s board will have had a chance to review and approve proposal for April 2016 implementation.

Smith blasts ministry in wake of QHC announcement MPP cites Liberal mismanagement for funding constraints JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER

Reaction to an $11.5 million restructuring proposal tabled by the Quinte Healthcare Corporation (QHC) to negate the effects of new Ministry of Health and Long-term Care funding models came quick at Queen's Park on Monday.

Just hours after QHC president and chief executive officer Mary Clare Egberts told assembled media that the organization would be moving more than 2,400 day surgeries (arthroscopy, and some urological, gynaecological and dental surgeries) from Trenton Memorial Hospital to Belleville General Hospital in an effort to cut down on overheard and build critical mass at the larger facility, Prince Edward-Hastings MPP blasted the Ministry of Health and Long-term Care for continually cutting hospital funding short.

Under the Health-based Allocation Model and the Quality-Based Procedure Funding Formula which replaced the former global budget method, QHC has seen its provincial grants cut and, in response, the hospital group has trimmed over $25 million from its budgets over the past four years.

“Fall is in the air and because it is, that can only mean one thing: another round of cuts and staff uncertainty at Quinte Health Care hospitals,” Smith thundered.

“To make up for an $11.5-million funding shortfall created largely because Ontario's Liberal government can't manage money; jobs and services will be cut at hospitals in Picton, Belleville, Bancroft and Trenton. Money is being spent on debt that people in Prince Edward-Hastings want spent on the services they need in their hospitals.”

In speaking with reporters earlier in the day, Egberts esti-

ment is running is costing you your health care services.

QHC has had to come up $25 million in cuts over four years to make up for funding shortfalls because the Liberal government at Queen's Park doesn't have any money left.

The government says money is going into better home care services but the Auditor General says services are being cut there too to pay for fat-cat

mated the number of staff affected by the restructuring would more than 50 staff members of the organizations entire compliment of 1,700 employees.

Speaking to residents in the riding, Smith told the Quinte citizenry that Ontario's deficit was causing the government to cut back on healthcare spending.

“The deficit this govern-

salaries,” Smith said. “The third largest expense in the budget is how much we pay to service our debt and it's also the fastest growing.

That's why cuts like this have gone from being rare to happening annually.”

Closer to Prince Edward County, long time PECMH volunteer and observer of all things health related Fran Renoy admitted that QHC was cornered into restructuring due to the new funding models and had little choice in the matter.

“We in Prince Edward County are fortunate that we will be allowed to keep the colonoscopies and gastroscopies at PECMH. QHC CEO Mary Clare Egberts has made it very clear that our hospital will only be allowed to only keep the "scopes" as long as the volumes stay up and presently the very competent and efficient O.R. staff are performing over 3000 scopes per year,” Renoy told the Gazette.

“There have been so many services taken from our hospital since amalgamation in 1998 there really is not much left to take. Having said that I think that is vital that we support the PECMH Foundation to purchase much needed equipment for the remaining services,” she added.

RACE, from page 1 Despite having much better weather, Ellis-Chapman said the race numbers for the year were down to about 900 from the usual 1,200.

“We knew in advance it was going to be a smaller race, but everyone so far that's gotten back to us in terms of participants has been really happy and the volunteers were amazing,” she said.

She said she believes at least part of the decline can be attributed to a saturation in running events. She said the number of marathon events has grown to the point where it can be harder to attract racers.

“It makes it more difficult and more of a competition for us to stay in the game in terms of races,” she said. “It's still a huge undertaking to organize 900 people plus 500 volunteers and make sure everyone is safe and enjoys themselves.”

Ellis-Chapman said this is the first time in six years in hasn't rained on the day of the marathon. She said she's hopeful the warm weather helps boost participation for next year.

This year the County Marathon selected the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation

Metro Creative Graphics LAST WEEK’S ANSWER

(PECMHF) as its chosen charity. Ellis-Chapman said the marathon was always intended as a way to raise funds for the community and the hospital is something the race board could all agree was a worthwhile cause.

“It's something we can all find common ground with,” she said.

This year the marathon also introduced a new PECMHF Running Team.

Ellis-Chapman said the race organizers wanted to bring more awareness to the cause

through this initiative.

“When everyone runs the marathon they don't really hear about why we're doing it, it's just the marathon,” she said. “We're trying to clarify why we're doing this because we are a not for profit. Everything we make above the cost it takes to organize the marathon is raised for the hospital.”

Hamilton's Sharon Gallant was the first female finisher with a time of 3:07:30.7 while the half marathon winner was Kevin Beatty of Frankford.

Now Accepting VINTAGE POWER Approximately 20 different vintage racing boats were on display on Friday in Hangar 4 at the Picton Airport. Vis-

itors had a chance to check out the racing machines as well as meet face to face with past champions. (Chad Ibbotson/Gazette staff)

Organizer Ritchie looking beyond just one weekend BOATS, from page 3

In the early '70s, Wilson said his father was contacted by a man who said he'd found the presumed destroyed powerboat. Eventually it was discovered the boat was indeed intact — it was being used as a chicken coop in a farmer's field close to Windsor.

After stints in Detroit as show boat and for 21 years being displayed in Ingersoll, Ontario's Cheese and Agricultural Museum, the boat was purchased and restored

by Genovese.

While he didn't get to make the run, Wilson said it was special feeling being in Picton. He said the story of Miss Canada IV is the story of three Ontario towns:

Ingersoll, where the engine was built, Gravenhurst where the boat was constructed, and Picton where his mother and father came to test.

“This is the completion of the dream,” he said. “Miss Canada IV is alive, it's well, I can work on it. I am over the moon excited.”

He thanked Genovese, Bobby Genovese Vintage Racing Team manager Jamie Smith, and Ritchie for making the event happen. He also thanked local resident John Lyons for his research work leading up to Saturday's event. Additionally, thanked the LeHeup and McFarland families for helping his parents during the original run.

“Coming back to Picton is coming home, it's completing the circle,” said Wilson. “She's been in Ingersoll, she was there for 21 years, she went to Muskoka to get rebuilt, and now she's coming back to Picton to test.”

If Wilson had one goal from the weekend, he said it would be to help Prince Edward County residents reconnect with their powerboat racing roots.

“I want this event to reencourage Picton to embrace its racing past and bring racing back,” he said.

Ken MacStephen could feel the nostalgia as he visited Hangar 4 to see the display of vintage racing boats last Friday. He was just 10 years old when he rode his

bike to the shore to watch Harold Wilson make his 1950 record attempt.

“It's a long time to remember, but my brotherin-law was either the commodore or the vice-commodore of the yacht club then, so I had and in and I hung around,” he said. “It was exciting stuff.”

Overall Ritchie said he was happy with the event and has plans for the future, though he couldn't give any details just yet.

“There is a long-range plan,” he said. “It's a little premature to get into it now, but I didn't venture into this for a one-shot deal. I was looking at the big picture.”
