Community gathers for Feast at Benson Park
Stringent bylaw restrictions debated
Many tasty treats available for free at new food festival
Late-night noise could be curtailed
ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER
Among dictionary definitions of feast, some of the common elements include the notion it is a special meal, one that typically has an abundant quantity of food, and is a form of celebration. Monday's Feast festival at Benson Park checked all the boxes as it brought the community together to enjoy the bounty of the harvest without any price of admission or obligation to pay for the meal. Families gathered on picnic blankets to share their suppers together, while a few steps away boxes of pizza were being passed around. On tables sat boxes of crackers piled high, bushels of peppers, and bags of spices free for the taking. People laughed, danced to music, played, and shared. Christine Renaud said that's exactly the vision shared by members of the Food Not Bombs collective who inspired her to find funding to make the festival happen. At heart, she said, it's about community. "It isn't a charity and it isn't those of us who have or those of us who don't. It's all about everybody sharing and building that community and mutual aid," Renaud
People flocked to the table and came to fill their bags with food that had been bought or donated. Instead of fighting over the food, they helped one another. Monday's Feast was also heavy on education. There were displays organized by community garden proponents, the Prince Edward Learning Centre, and from local food banks — two for humans, and one for pets. Children offered tips on nutritious snacks — and some juicy samples. A cookbook exchange proved fruitful. Also, there was a chance to try international food many guests might not have tried before. PEC Syria and members of the Al Jasem family served out five or six traditional Syrian dishes. Suzanne Larner and Krista Dalby offered lessons on how to cook authentic Vietnamese salad spring rolls. Food Not Bombs itself had some Indian and Mexican offerings. "It really is the world. It's nice to have that international food which we don't have ordinarily… it crosses a lot of borders," Renaud said of the offerings on hand.

Changes could be on the way for the municipal noise bylaw in relation to outdoor events in the county. Committee of the whole supported changes to the bylaw last week which would see noise exceeding 60 decibels average (Dba) resulting from the use of any electronic device at an outdoor event restricted between the hours of 12 a.m. and 7 a.m. on any property in the municipality. Under the changes an outdoor event would be defined as any gathering not taking place completely within a building that has no open sides. That would include any events taking place within a tent structure or events held in barns in which the doors are left open. Currently such events are permitted under the municipal noise bylaw until 2 a.m. in non-residential zones. Additionally, the bylaw would be further amended to limit construction noise to between the hours of 7 a.m. and 9 p.m.

The association has partnered with the Storehouse Foodbank in Wellington and the Picton United Church County Food Bank in Picton to ensure hungry people in their own community are receiving adequate protein. Initially, the association offered Storehouse a $4,000 donation as when they were first contacted in 2015 by Storehouse president Linda Downey, they didn’t have meat available. Since, the association has donated the equivalent of four cows in ground beef to the Wellington food bank and more recently, it has given 500 lbs to the Picton operation. “It seems like a good fit for what we’re doing,� said the association’s spokesman Dr. John Hancock. “For our fundraising in the community, we’ve had great support. We felt giving back to this needy area with protein we can supply means local food going to local needs.� Hancock says the association is planning to continue donating ground beef to the food banks if funding is available. That’s coupled with a pledge to make similar donations to the Hub Child & Family Centre in Picton for its nutrition programs.

(Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)
Downey said the food banks give the ground beef directly to clients and do not do any preparation. The meat is packaged in one-pound and pound-and-a-half bags to distribute to clients. “It doesn’t take long to go through ground beef, not for us anyway,� she said. “Usually we give each family two packages. That’s not going to do a family for two weeks, but it is all we have and they are grateful.� Downey said before the most recent 250 lb shipment, she approached a donor to buy beef directly from a farmer. The 200 lbs was gone within two weeks. She said that was a special occasion and the reality is, without the Cattlemen donating, the food bank may go without meat to give out. Picton food bank volunteer Ellen Brownbill agreed with
that assessment. “It’s hard to buy the staples and keep them on the shelves constantly, let alone protein,� she said. Downey said the money food banks get at Christmas time generally lasts until early summer. This time of year is particularly hard as seasonal jobs end, children are back in school, and families begin to grapple with heating costs. It’s also a particularly difficult year given the drought conditions. Last year’s bountiful harvest meant many fresh produce donations, but this year few farmers have vegetables to share. Even the Food To Share initiative that offers cooking classes and prepared cooked food for the food banks isn’t getting much. “It’s going to be very sparse, a tough winter for us,� Downey said.

producers are also feeling the pinch with little yield in hay and corn crops, making it likely farmers will have to buy feed. He also said beef prices have fallen more than a dollar in a year, in some cases below the cost of production. Hancock said the association is able to offer beef to the food banks as a result of its steer show. In 2002, the organization started the show at the Picton fair as a way to mirror the Queen’s Guineas show at the Royal Agricultural Fair. At that show, the largest steers were auctioned off to raise money for charity. For 10 years locally, the association used a portion of steer sales locally to fund a scholarship for students pursuing agricultural studies. In 2012, however, Hancock said the association wanted to change its charitable giving and it jumped in enthusiastically to raise over $70,000 for the Prince Edward Family Health Team’s cardiac rehabilitation clinic — a drastic increase from the about $1,000 raised for scholarships each year. Since that big project, Hancock said the association has tried to spread its money around. It has continued to fund maintenance and upgrades to the cardiac rehab centre, but it has also helped the 4-H Association the food banks, and other causes that sometimes fall through the cracks. This year, in addition to the beef program, Hancock said the association has put $3,000 into upgrading the cattle pavilion at the Picton fairgrounds to improve ventilation, lighting, and stall tie-ups. The steer show will be held Saturday, Sept. 10 at 5:45 p.m.

Council approves Beach Bum signage alterations despite owner’s wishes for deferral Nicholls wished to wait for petition on heritage district ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER
Having reached a compromise on signage for the Beach Bum store in the Picton heritage conservation district, County council was in no mood last week to delay its decision any further. At Tuesday's regular meeting, council was to receive a report from its intermediate planner James Bar on revisions to the signage rejected earlier this year. The revisions, including raised lettering for the store name, a blue border around the edges of the yellow sign, and a laminate matte covering atop the image to reduce the sheen of the sign were accepted by the Prince Edward Heritage Advisory Committee (PEHAC). That night, however, Beach Bum owner Cynthia Nicholls appeared as a deputation asking councillors to withhold their decision on the sign pending a petition to repeal the heritage conservation district bylaw. "Just for the record, I did not initiate this petition, but I am in favour of it," Nicholls said. "I'm asking for a deferral on approving any chances until the outcome of this petition is known." Nicholls said the stakeholders' group behind the

petition was confident it would get signatures from a majority of the downtown business owners supporting the removal of the district designation. Bloomfield councillor Barry Turpin cautioned council wasn't voting on a petition and he asked Nicholls if she agreed to the changes to the sign being proposed for consideration. She said she was, but hoped to wait until the outcome of the petition before taking her next step. Sophiasburgh's Kevin Gale also questioned whether Nicholls really wanted to wait. He noted there's no guarantee that following a petition, 16 councillors and staff would change their minds on the benefit of the district. Gale

also cautioned if council voted strongly in favour of the district, it may reject the compromise. "We have a recommendation tonight where there's been some negotiations and a bit of a happy medium, though maybe it's not where you wanted to be," he said. " Are you willing to roll the dice if that petition comes back and it might be a different recommendation from staff? We made a little bit of

headway on this. I'd hate for you to lose out on this… then you'd be really peeved." Mayor Robert Quaff said although there have been rumours of a petition circulating, no one has served council notice of that position so in his eyes, it was nothing more than hearsay and not a reason to wait. Councillor Steve Ferguson, of South Marysburgh, was a member of the heritage advisory committee that approved the changes to the sign. He said he felt the compromise was a way to put the issue in the past. Ferguson said the improvements to the sign "weren't 100 per cent, but they were close." He advised that it made sense to deal with the signage and petition as separate issues. "I think we really have to sort out the sign issue. If the petition arises at some later date, that's fine," he said. "I fully support the steps you've taken to change the sign so it fits with the character of the heritage conservation district." Councillor Bill Roberts, of Sophiasburgh, also heard

enough discourse and accusations surrounding the issue and felt it was time to end the discussion. "This whole discussion feels a lot to me like a raw onion sandwich, it just keeps repeating in an uncomfortable way," he said. "It's a simple permit issue. At the beginning, it was a better of inquiring and applying for a sign permit. Either you or your contractor for some reason didn't do that. PEHAC has come up with an amended sign application in mid-July that isn't in total compliance, but it's a
reasonable decision to bring this to closure. I'm in favour of it. I think a sensible person would be." Councillors simply received Nicholls' deputation and took no action. Later in the meeting, council approved a minor heritage permit application for the Beach Bum property to allow for the revised sign. In his report, Bar indicated staff was not concerned about the precedent set by approval.

County sets maximum of $37,500 for community grants under $5,000 in 2017 Community foundation to administer program for municipality ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER
The County will have a new program in place for the provision of community grants under $5,000 as part of its 2017 budget process. At committee of the whole last Thursday, councillors approved maximums of $12,500 cash and $25,000 in kind to be handed out as part of a new collaboration with the County Community Foundation (CCF). Per a deal reached between the two parties last December that runs through 2018, the CCF would administer the granting process on the municipality's behalf in exchange for a $30,000 annual operating budget. Further, the CCF would be responsible for raising a quarter of council's annual grant budget. One member of council would sit on the CCF board and on its community grants review committee as a voting member. Under the program, applicants can request consideration for in-kind grants of $1,000 or less or grants for up to $5,000 that include a maximum of $2,500 cash and $2,500 in kind. The projects must fit under categories arts, environment, heritage, culture, health and human services, or recreation and fit within the overall goal of the program: to improve the wellbeing and quality of life of the community through assisting non-profit organizations. The program is open to non-profit organizations only and only one request per year is allowed. School boards, forprofit enterprise, service clubs, and individuals, sectarian, religious or political entities are not eligible. Other criteria for the program rule out groups looking to use the granting program for primary or operating costs; groups funding activities taking place outside the county; grants used to fund deficits or shortfalls; and annual fundraising drives for sustain-

ing support. Program applications are available online at www.countycommunityfoundation.ca and they must be submitted to the CCF by Sept. 22 for consideration. Ameliasburgh councillor Janice Maynard was the lone representative at Shire Hall to vote against approval of the terms of the program. Citing a staff report, Maynard expressed her dismay costs for community grants have increased greatly over the past four years. Faced with a funding crunch in 2012, council only spent $16,000 on the granting program. Last year, it spent $14,033 in cash alone and $27,234 on in-kind donations like waived fees or the use of space or resources.
"I think the amount is too high. In 2012 we were able to do it for $16,000 in an effort to bring costs under control in a challenging fiscal environment. I still think we are in a challenging environment and I'm appalled by the increases in this fun," Maynard said. Maynard argued that by setting a fixed amount of money to spend on community grants, there will be a public expectation that council spend that much money. She added $16,000 might be on the low end, but said she'd be more comfortable if the community development department and CCF took a hard look at reducing the cost. "By putting this out there, the expectation will be that we're divvying out $37,500.

For that reason, I can't support it as it is. I don't have any specific amendments, but there still are constraints on our finances." Athol councillor Jamie Forrester argued for the program, stating "I think we get the biggest bang for our buck with the community grants and I will continue to support this program." North Marysburgh's David Harrison said he understood where Maynard was coming from, but added he felt the upset limit would be helpful for staff to work on their budget allocations for the year knowing the maximum impact. Community development director Neil Carbone assured councillors he sees the process as an improvement. "This is the dollar and inkind contribution that will be in council's budget. The CCF will work within that and there's no chance of it being more than that," he said. Carbone said there is a good chance the committee will not spend its full allocation if it doesn't feel the grants it receives merit funding. He also noted the past process

was often rushed in the constraints of budget deliberations. That sometimes led to hasty, emotion-based decision making. "The committee is in a much better position to do that evaluation and make this
process work ," he said. The change will not impact upon grant requests over $5,000. Carbone said those requests will continue to be brought directly to council where they will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Online database seen as one tool in strategy to help existing businesses in Prince Edward County with expansion plans in the near future
County partners with Magnet in bid to attract skilled workforce for employers CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER
The municipality announced this week that a new skilled workforce attraction initiative is underway. The County announced Monday that the first component of the community development department's new attraction initiative would be a partnership with Magnet. Magnet in an online tool founded by Ryerson University in partnership with the Ontario Chamber of Commerce. The not-for-profit is a collaborative hub of post-secondary schools, not-for-profits, government, labour and industry partners working together to address unemployment and under-employment across the country. In becoming a partner, the municipality has access to a extensive database of skilled labour that can help growing
employers connect with potential employees. The Magnet network includes more than 80,000 job seekers, 31 universities and colleges, 7,000 employers, and 170 community partners. The portal gives employers and job seekers access to the service's full benefits across the entire network. Community development co-ordinator Trevor Crowe said it's an important resource. “It's really important to connect to the greater workforce across Canada and Ontario and Magnet is one of those tools that are at our disposal to do that,” he said. Magnet was developed in 2014 as a tool to address the gap between post-secondary recruitment and the ability of students to match their skills to real labour market needs. The tool uses job-matching technology that is tailored to

communicate effectively the students' experiences, accomplishments, skills and education to employers. Since then the tool has expanded to serve all Canadians using an advanced blind recruiting model that can align skills with opportunities. In March 2015 the Eastern Ontario Regional Network (EORN) partnered with Magnet, which allowed any municipality within eastern
Ontario to access the network at no cost. Job seekers and employers can apply and search for free. Employers pay $10 per connection made. “It's one of the first steps toward workforce attraction here in Prince Edward County, recognizing that there's a huge need — especially within the trades and also with our niche manufacturing businesses like wineries and breweries,” Crowe said. “They're demanding more and more skilled labour.” In the spring of this year the municipality's community development department began a Business Retention and Expansion program. The program included confidential interviews with businesses in manufacturing and construction to get a better picture of the challenges these sectors face. One of the biggest challenges noted by a majority of
the employers was trouble finding qualified workers. “From the feedback we've received from the 65 businesses we've interviewed, it's by far the biggest concern right now and in a lot of cases it's preventing a lot of businesses from expanding,” Crowe said. The municipality says more than 60 per cent of the construction and manufacturing businesses are expected to expand in the next year and a half, with hirings of two to five new employees on average. “There's a lot coming that I can't say yet, but this is just one of the first steps towards helping those employers,” said Crowe. Crowe said the tool ties in well with what the municipality is already doing with business retention and attraction. He said when businesses are looking to locate in Prince Edward County, they look at
three things: Available properties, potential funding, and available workforce. He said often it's the available workforce that's a detriment to the county as more urban centres like Belleville have a greater pool of residents. However, a tool like Magnet could help bridge that gap Crowe said. “They're going to be looking for what sort of infrastructure we have in place for workforce attraction and one of the biggest qualities we have for attracting people here is quality of life,” he said. “We're second to none in eastern Ontario, so if we can leverage that and get them here and then have the full-time jobs here, then it's a good fit.” Businesses and job seekers can create an account on the County's Magnet site by visiting https://magnet.whoplusyou.com/lp/princeedwardcounty.

COMMENTARY Province should work on problem solving in face of declining math scores
AS Ontario students go back to the classroom next week, teachers and school board officials will be faced with the reality that last year half of the Grade 6 pupils in this province did not meet the standard set for mathematics. Just 63 per cent of Grade 3 students met the standards at that age as both categories saw eight-per-cent decreases from the year before. The standard is a B grade. Clearly, the province recognizes those numbers aren’t good as it has made plans to invest $60 million to bring mathematics specialists into every school and to ensure that math is taught for an hour a day at each school in order to improve comprehension. Realization there is need for improvement is a good start, but solving this equation might require the province to get to the root of the issue and analyze why such results are coming from the Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) following standardized testing. Statistics provided show a steady decline in students who reached the standards in each test age group and, while we all aren’t mathematics professors by any means, the drop-off between those students reaching standards in Grade 3 and those reaching standards in Grade 6 appear to be significant. The question, then, becomes whether the standard at the Grade 6 level is appropriate and whether the curriculum in place is adequately preparing students and providing the tools they need to solve problems. With a push toward more advanced problems at a younger age and the adoption of the discovery method of problem solving, rather than the tried-
and-true method of repeating the basics until there is a fundamental understanding of them, one wonders if students are being asked to do too much without establishing a firm grounding of numbers and amounts. Perhaps, a return to basics like memorizing multiplication tables and a return to elements like fractional math earlier in a student’s career would offer a firm base to allow them to open their minds to explore more complex problem solving later on without being tripped by the basics. An interesting side note is that the Grade 6 students were allowed calculators and learning aids during EQAO testing and still struggled. It’s time to experiment to see what works best for the province’s young students as they develop skills they will use for life — and, unlike the popular refrain regarding algebra, students will use the basics in all walks of their lives. While more instruction time is a positive idea, further study should be considered about how instruction a young person can absorb at one time and what kinds of instruction are most successful. Texts and resources should also be thoroughly reviewed to see which are producing better results. Surely, there are patterns to discover. Somewhere, there will be an equation that produces the desired results, but it may require stripping the problem down to the basics, then figuring out which methods apply. That’s the standard we are expecting from our students as they sit down to write their tests and, thus, nothing less should be expected from those entrusted to educate them.

While weather forecasts can and do change, unfortunately there are currently no predications of sufficient rain any time soon. And while recent rainfalls have given us some hope and a minor reduction in fire bans, we are not yet even close to returning to more normal conditions for this time of the year. The combination of exceptionally dry and exceptionally hot weather has even the wineries wondering what to do next. Since as gardeners we are not responsible for large crops that provide food for humans or livestock or even wine, we should pay some attention to our trees. Depending on how close they are to water, including underground water, and the type of tree they are, they vary from being just stressed to very stressed. Many are dropping their leaves to protect themselves. Nevertheless as long as they get enough moisture before the soil freezes up, most and perhaps all of the larger trees

will survive. If our water levels improve, then heavily watering these trees may be a priority for many of us in the late fall. Young trees and those transplanted in the past few years are much more vulnerable to drought and should get the majority of available water now if they are to survive. It depends on each gardener’s access to water as well as the desire to preserve a particular
plant or young tree. An unusual tree concern was brought to the Master Gardeners’ attention being a very large old maple tree that had an odd formation at its in base. One very large root was twisted around the base of the tree above ground. Kevin Bazkur, a Master Gardener, pointed out that younger maples may heave out of the soil due to heavy freezing. A root or roots can be pulled up to the surface. This can seriously harm the young tree as it can decrease the moisture and nutrients available to the tree. If it does continue to grow and thrive, as this one had, clearly the harm was not sufficient to kill the tree and would not do so now. To protect young maples from heaving in the winter put in a thick layer of mulch (15 cm.) at least 5 cm. away from the trunk. After a drought like the current one, all young trees would benefit from being mulched after either a heavy rain in the fall or a thorough watering late in the
season. While normal pruning at this time of the year is not recommended, it is helpful to remove dead or badly damaged branches. As well, you can look for “y” junctions between branches and between the tree and a branch. These are the places where serious breaks can occur, as the tree is weakest there. Unless it is a birch, walnut or maple tree, all of which leak sap copiously if cut in the late winter or early spring, the branch or one of the branches can be removed during the dormant period. Those other three types of trees are best left until late May or early June. Pruning can be done at the same time with younger trees in order to maintain a single stem after removing “y” stemmed branches particularly near the top of the tree, where they may compete with the main stem. This competition should be avoided unless something has damaged the top of the main stem and there is need
for a replacement. If there are exceptionally low branches remaining, they can be removed as well. Nurseries generally perform these pruning cuts before selling young trees. Finally weeding, if you still have the energy for it given the heat, also pays off in terms of allowing what little water there is to reach the plants you want to maintain. I certainly find it frustrating to have healthy weeds and drooping perennials sharing the same bed. Unfortunately I find that being a drooping gardener due the heat is even harder to live with! Given that lawns will survive drying out, they can be allowed to go dormant unless their appearance is a priority for the gardener. My priority is young trees, vegetables, fruit and perennials with grass a distant last - but I am only one gardener. Please e-mail your gardening questions to askamastergardener@bell.net.

At the library, we are always appreciative of the efforts of our “Friends.” Friends are groups of people that come together to support their local library branch. Their support can be through advocacy, volunteering or fundraising activities. Friends groups often raise money for things that are outside of the library’s annual operating budget. We are very fortunate to have four active Friends of the Library groups: Picton, Wellington, Milford as well as one that supports the Ameliasburgh and Consecon branches. Right now, local Friends of the Library groups are busily preparing fundraising activities such as three major annual fundraising events that will take place this month. First up is the annual Quality Book Sale on Saturday, Sept. 3 from 10 a.m, to 2 p.m. Hosted by the Friends of the Picton Library, you can expect a large inventory of good quality, gently used books for sale outside the Picton branch this weekend. Spearheaded by longtime “Friends” chair of the group Doug Sloane and secretary
INSIDE THE LIBRARY Liz Zylstra
Evelyn Sloane, this is the 19th annual sale organized by the Friends. Thanks to these popular events, Friends have raised more than $13,000 to support various projects including the exterior landscaping of Picton branch. They welcome help with set up, lifting boxes of books and organizing tables – contact Barbara Sweet at (613) 476-5962 for more information. Good quality book donations are also accepted and can be dropped off at the Picton branch prior to these sales.
Please note that no textbooks, manuals or Reader’s Digest condensed books are needed. Next up is the Friends of the Wellington Branch Library benefit bridge tournament on Tuesday, Sept. 13 from 1 p.m. For at least 10 years, the benefit bridge event has been a highly anticipated annual tradition – in fact, it’s not uncommon for us to start getting questions about it in the middle of August. Bridge players from across the County – including some who got their start at bridge lessons at County branches – all come out. This year’s event will take place at the Wellington on the Lake Recreation Centre and the entry cost is $8 per person with finger desserts included. As Dianne Cranshaw, the secretary of the Friends of Wellington Library notes, “Wellington on the Lake gives us the opportunity to use their facility. It fosters a sense of community between the village proper and the large village which incorporated Wellington on the Lake — and for that we are very
thankful as the residents of Wellington on the Lake are avid library users and a huge involvement in all festivities of Wellington.” To book your table, please call Dianne Cranshaw at 613399-2468 or send an e-mail to dcranshaw@peclibrary.org. Friends have contributed a lot to the Wellington branch through their various fundraising endeavours including annual Canada Day and Pumpkinfest sales – a few recent examples are the landscaping in the front of the library, the gas fireplace, winged back chairs and the new circulation desk. These avid, cheerful volunteers also nurture the often-complimented flowers outside the Wellington branch that were provided by the Prince Edward County Horticultural Society. If you’re at the Ameliasburgh Fair Sept. 24 or 25 you’ll be able peruse a book sale of many high quality books that have been generously donated by community members and organized by Friends of the Ameliasburgh and Consecon branch libraries. These Friends are also
hardworking volunteers – when the horticultural society donated money for flowers, it was the Friends who got their hands dirty planting! The Friends of Ameliasburgh and Consecon meet twice a year or as needed to accomplish their projects, and they welcome new members. We have the Friends in Ameliasburgh and Consecon to thank for the comfortable chairs, the children’s early literacy computer loaded with fun and educational games, and more. If you’re interested in joining, please drop by either branch and chat with Gisa Iannaci. The Friends of the Milford Branch continue to fundraise for the front reading garden at that branch – if you’re interested in getting involved, you can talk to Kathy at that branch. If you’d like to get involved with a Friends group at any branch of the County Library, contact your local branch staff and they’ll help you get connected.

Municipality’s new corporate strategic plan features five key priorities Councillors, senior staff finalize vision, mission statement for long-term action ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER
Prince Edward County aspires to become known as "Canada's model smart rural community" and councillors believe they've put a plan in place to guide their decisions toward that end. Last Tuesday, councillors formally approved a new Corporate Strategic Plan (CSP), replacing a previous plan in place since 2007. The 20-page document has been in the works since last November. Council engaged
international consulting firm MDB Insight to craft the plan using input from over 300 residents gathered from telephone interviews in March as well as direction and revision from the County's senior staff and councillors over the past nine months. In the document, Mayor Robert Quaiff said the CSP will help the public track the performance and accountability of its municipal government on key priorities identified and shape decisions that will reflect a longterm vision for council to follow in its day-to-day decision making. "The plan is meant to inspire all of us to consider how we can together work
to achieve a prosperous and sustainable community," Quaiff said. "While this plan won't be reached overnight, progress will be made year by year and the County will report to residents regularly on how we are doing." The document includes a mission statement, a vision statement, and a declaration of corporate values. The mission statement, which speaks to the County's current purpose and values, suggests municipal government champion the economic and social vitality of the community with actions guided by: the delivery of cost-effective services; the development of sustainable infrastructure; and the promotion of a healthy, liveable and vibrant community. The vision statement speaks to the municipality's aspirations moving forward. It suggests council would like the County to be recognized as "a welcoming, healthy, prosperous, safe and cohesive community with a strong, open municipal government that provides cost effective services and stable well-funded infrastructure. It lists ensur-
ing financial sustainability, maintaining the County's unique cultural, historical, and agricultural roots, and enhancing the health of the community as important factors. Thirdly, the corporate values declaration suggests the municipal government act collaboratively with other governments, private entities, and community partners; offer a service-oriented approach in responding to customers; establish measurable, community-driven goals and report to the public; act in a responsive and transparent manner; and innovate in its practices. Through the planning process, five council and senior staff identified five specific priority areas to focus on in order to deliver upon its mission and vision. Those priorities and the initiatives the municipality hopes to take are as follows‌ n Financial sustainability — Create a sustainable water and wastewater plan. Prepare a long-term financial plan that provides funding strategies and adequate reserves while promoting

stable taxes. Develop multiyear operating and capital budgets. Develop a funding strategy for the asset management plan focused on maintaining core existing infrastructure and services. n Business-friendly environment — Build a network of amenities to attract startups and businesses. Establish and implement a development framework for council. Encourage growth within our settlement areas. Continue to grow profile outside the county. Develop incentives to encourage private sector development. Place an emphasis on increasing new housing starts. n Maintain rural and historic character — Adopt and implement progressive heritage and agriculture policies in the forthcoming official plan. Promote and support traditional agriculture, value-added agriculture and agritourism. Support and facilitate adaptive reuse of heritage assets and discourage removals. Recognize the importance of historic communities. n Stable employment and affordable housing — Promote the development of diverse housing options.
Support existing businesses by encouraging succession planning and matching existing building space to potential employment generations. Promote the importance of buying local. Provide opportunities for the education and skills training of residents. Support access to food for residents. Invest in affordable transportation. n Sustainable community health services — Maintain a strong voice toward upper levels of government to keep our health-care facilities viable and services accessible. Support a co-ordinated community approach to physician and health-care provider recruitment and retention. Promote health and active living in our communities. Implement the County's age-in-place concept. Councillors adopted the final CSP with very little discussion. Ameliasburgh councillor Janice Maynard said she was pleased with revisions in the final document that better reflected the County's challenge to balance urban and rural growth and added more recognition to the economic value of agriculture.

Councillors pledge support for Picton Pirates Municipality asked to support logo stencil, washing machine operations CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER
Committee of the whole supported a couple of requests from a local junior hockey club last week. Picton coach and assistant general manager Chris Masterson attended last week's committee-of-the-whole meeting to request the municipality's help in covering the costs of a new centre ice logo stencil and installation. The club also requested council's permission to install a washing machine in the Prince Edward Community Centre (PECC) to wash team sweaters and for the municipality to cover the annual operating costs of the machine. The logo stencil and installation are estimated to cost $2,357 and the operation of the washing machine was estimated to add about $46 to annual operating costs at PECC. Masterson said the club would cover the cost of the washing machine and installation. Committee approved the request and the issue will move forward for council approval on Sept. 13. Councillor Bill Roberts supported the investment. He said while few Junior C players may move on to professional hockey, the sport can still open up opportunities for local youth. “For many of those players
at the Junior C level they're probably fairly marginal in terms of going on to the big leagues, but they're not marginal with aspirations for college scholarships,” he said. “The Pirates do provide an opportunity, an aspiration for our local players to get those college scholarships, which is very good for the county in the long run.” The team's new logo, revealed earlier this year, is expected to be installed at PECC centre ice prior to the opening game of the inaugural Provincial Junior Hockey League (PJHL) season. Masterson said its critical that communities support youth sports. “As a high school teacher I can tell you how important it is to have sport for our youth,” he said. “It's important for our youth, it's important for the health and unity of a community like Prince Edward County.” He said with all Ontario Hockey Association Junior C clubs rebranding under the PJHL, the Pirates believed it was a perfect time for the club to rebrand itself as well. “Branding is an important part of success for any sports team or business,” he said. “Not only is (the centre ice logo) important to our rebranding, but it's also important to create a professional-looking environment that will help me attract the
best possible players to our team.” He said over the last five years there have been a lot of questions about the former rat logo and what it has to do with pirates. He said it was time for a change. He said the club branding change necessitated a change for the centre ice logo as well. Masterson said the Pirates are one of the last not-for-profit junior hockey teams in the province and that's a point of pride for the club. “We are proud of that fact because it ensures that junior hockey stays local and has local control,” he said. “We have a small executive that strive to keep this team and competitive hockey alive in Picton.” However, he said it's tough for club to keep up with costs. “Ice time costs continue to increase, league fees, bus and equipment costs — all of those things continue to increase each and every year,” Masterson said. “But they work tirelessly to find new revenue.” He said corporate sponsorship revenue has climbed from $13,000 in 2007 to a projected $28,500 in 2016. “The efforts are being made to raise the money in our community,” he said. “Despite this, we ended last fiscal year $5,000 in the hole.” Masterson said that's why the club approached the municipality for support.

County officially puts its backing behind Creative Rural Minds networking series
The municipality announced this week that it will be renewing support for a familiar networking concept. Through the economic development department the County will once again be backing Creative Rural Minds — a series of events with the goal of bringing together community builders and creative thinkers to stimulate communication and collaboration. The partnership is expected to support the municipality's Build a New Life campaign, acting as a welcome to potential new residents and businesses and offering a chance to network and con-
nect with the community. The Build a New Life campaign is a key aspect of the municipality's resident and investment attraction endeavours. Community development director Neil Carbone said in the release from the municipality the program brings a wealth of knowledge for businesses and entrepreneurs. “Creative Rural Minds is an amazing resource for the County’s small business owners, artists and entrepreneurs,” he said. “We need to be showcasing this resource — and others like it — to prospective residents and
businesses.” Creative Rural Minds began in 2009 as a concept of the municipality's economic development office. The series was revived by county residents Krista Dalby and Lenny Epstein. Epstein said the possibilities stemming from the events were a major reason he wanted to bring the program back. “We really wanted to recreate these vital opportunities to gather and exchange ideas,” said Epstein. Dalby agreed. “Prince Edward County attracts so many interesting creative people,” she said.
“Something really special happens when you throw a hundred of these creatives in the same room. There’s a sense that we’re all in this together, and in an incredible time to be living here.” The recent events have had strong support from the community, often bringing together close to 100 participants. Additionally, the Prince Edward County Arts Council (PECAC) will be a partner in developing future Creative Rural Minds events. PECAC chair Susanne Barclay said the council is enthusiastic about the potential of the future events.
“The arts council is very excited about this new partnership and is looking for opportunities to support all those creative minds that have come to the County,” she said. With its new partners Creative Rural Minds has a series of quarterly events planned for the year. The first event is the Stage & Sail Edition and is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 24 at the Prince Edward Yacht Club at 30 Fairfield St. in Picton. Attendees are encouraged to park at the Crystal Palace and walk to the yacht club. A walking shuttle service will be available at 5:30 p.m., 6 p.m., and 6:30 p.m.
From 5–7 p.m. there will be an open house will complimentary boat rides and buskers on the pier. Local meals and snacks will be available with proceeds supporting the firelight lantern festival. At 7 p.m. there will be live music by Alec Lunn, comedy from the Taste That! Artisanal Improv Troupe, and speakers from Supporting Performing Arts in Rural Communities, the community development office and the arts council. An informal networking session is scheduled from 8–9. -Chad Ibbotson, Staff

Country jamboree doubles its crowds in second year at Milford fairgrounds Bixby headlines lineup of over 30 acts ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER
Word is starting to spread about the quality of entertainment on stage at the annual Prince Edward County Country Music Jamboree. In its second year at the Milford Fairgrounds, the four-day event saw a marked increase in the amount of walk-up and overnight visitors. “It turned out really well for just our second year. We definitely had double the amount of trailers and double the visitors overall,” said organizer Greg Verner of Millpond Music. “There’s a jamboree circuit and it takes some time for people to find out who you are, but also to give you a try. I think the people that did give us a try last year spread the word for us that it is a good jamboree and a great location in Prince Edward County and that helped bring people out.” The campers and trailers overflowed from the fairground site to another plot across County Rd. 17 and even that space was filled to capacity for much of the weekend. One of the vendors at the show, Debra Noble Eckert of Trenton’s Kookies N Kream ice cream said she picked the jam-

boree over larger events in bigger cities because she liked the family atmosphere of the jamboree and felt it was important to support budding, local artists. Verner said many of the people that happened upon this year’s show had positive comments about the lineup assembled, which featured more than 30 acts. “It was just a weekend full of amazing entertainment — there’s too many to list,” Verner said. “We had a lot of highlights. A lot of amazing talent hit that stage.” The jamboree started on a high note with headliner Jaydee

Bixby performing Thursday. Bixby already had a following after finishing as the runner up on the fifth season of Canadian Idol in 2007. Jamboree favourites Kevin Young and Lisa Hart took
the stage to open for him and Verner said there was a packed house right from the beginning to listen. Friday saw a full day of entertainment on stage from 11 a.m. through to 11 p.m. It also saw a poignant moment for local country music fans as four performers were inducted into the Prince Edward County Country Music Hall of Fame. This year’s class included Stan Hicks, Rolly Pounder, Dave Bongard, and Arlie McKee. After full days of entertainment, Friday and Saturday both ended with fun campfire jam sessions featuring some of the artists who shared the stage earlier. Sunday’s program started with a Gospel session hosted by Debbie McLean. Verner said the jamboree owes a debt of gratitude to a number of county businesses who stepped in with gusto to support the program and to the South Marysburgh recreation committee, which has served as

Dukes dominate pair of preseason games against Kingston Abrams says coaches still got good read in Wellington wins JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER
Preseason hockey can be a fickle item. Teams that run the table in tune up-time can struggle out of the gate when the puck gets dropped for real and, on the other side of the margin, hockey clubs can turn in a winless preseason and simply flip the switch when the regular season gets started. So it would probably be a fool's errand to put too much stock in a pair of decisive wins by the Wellington Dukes over the Kingston Voyageurs last weekend. The team visiting Essroc Arena Friday night wasn't particularly strong and while more expected regulars drew into the Vees lineup Saturday, Kingston certainly seems to be behind the training camp curve when compared to the locals. But despite what the opposition is doing or not doing, the Dukes appear to be about where most expected them to be after an up-tempo training camp. Wellington didn't spare the whip Friday and lambasted Kingston 10-1 despite only having four skaters that had played Junior A hockey the previous season. With both teams dressing a more veteran laden lineup Saturday, Wellington scored six goals through the first 40

minutes en route to a 6-2 win. On the face of it, Wellington's weekend was productive and it's better to win than lose, even if it's only preseason.
Despite the ice being tilted in his team's favour for nearly all of the 120 minutes of action, Dukes coach and general manager Marty Abrams felt he and his staff were able
to judge their players and where the roster stood prior to a handful of departures to OHL camps. “I felt we were able to gauge what we have in term
of players in game situations,” Abrams told the Gazette Monday. “Certainly the game on Saturday in Kingston was more challenging and we were able to get a good read
on some players.” In both contests, Wellington's team speed was obviously evident and the relentless attack paved the way to a plethora of scoring chances. “It's been a busy schedule but we've had good speed and tempo in our skates and that's ran right into the games. We want to play the game fast and I thought we did a really good job of that,” Abrams added. After sitting out Friday night, forwards Nic Mucci and the newly acquired Brayden Stortz drew into the Wellington lineup Saturday and didn't disappoint in their first preseason action of the season. Both each had a pair of goals and a helper to help pace the Wellington offence. After being acquired from Carleton Place mid-season last year and playing a key role in the 2016 playoffs for Wellington, Mucci has returned to Wellington in prime shape and looks ready to pick up where he left off at the end of the Dukes' postseason run. Stortz was added to the squad after a trade with Kirkland Lake last week and impressed Abrams in his first appearance in a Dukes uniform. “He showed tremendous puck skills and his hockey IQ was off the charts and that's what we envisioned,” Abrams explained. “He's great around the net, knows how to get points and that's exactly what we are looking for.”

Pirates roster begins to take shape as team starts preseason with overtime loss Coaches impressed with pace of opening game as young Picton, Napanee squads battle CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

The Picton Pirates' preseason progresses. The club wrapped their main training camp last week and played their first exhibition game on Sunday — a 3–2 overtime loss in Wellington at the hands of the Napanee Raiders. Picton coach Chris Masterson said the club is happy with the results of main camp. He said about 40 skaters and five goaltenders
took part. Masterson said he believes the goaltending is in good standing to start the season with the Pirates trading for former Port Hope netminder Aaron Young earlier this year. The club signed Campbellford native Dawson Ellis, a forward who split time last season with the Quinte Red Devils and Campbellford Rebels. Masterson described Ellis as a “spark plug type player” who would add some speed

and grit to the lineup. “He's going to play a big role for us this year,” Masterson said. The club also signed a pair of 1999-born defencemen in Belleville's Nick Kyte and Bloomfield's Kurtis Wood. The signings will join a returning class that includes Mitchell Thompson, Mitchell Burke, T.J. Patterson, Tye Eaton, and Riley Reynolds. “We're in a much stronger place than we were
at this point last year for sure,” said Masterson. Sunday's exhibition was played at a surprising pace for this early in the preseason, Masterson said. “Both coaches, we talked after the game, and we were both pleasantly surprised at the pace and the skill level of the game for a first exhibition game,” said Masterson. “It felt more like a middle of the season kind of game.”

Jets visit Essroc Arena today Nine Dukes make their way to OHL training camps as teams play back-to-back PIRATES, from page 16
Napanee's Nic Case opened the scoring 3:31 into the opening frame with his team shorthanded. “The play in the first period was pretty even,” Masterson said. “They scored a bit of a weak one on us to go up 1–0 and there was no let down, the guys kept playing.” He said with roster spots still open, everyone on the ice was driven to keep battling and working for a win. The one-goal lead lasted until the 15:18 mark of the second when Gerald Bilker evened the score. Will Harrison had the assist. “We came out flying to start the second period and took the play to them for most of the period,” said Masterson. However, Case tallied his second of the game with nine seconds left in the period to take a one-goal lead into the third. Just under six minutes into the period Thompson made it 2–2 with Ryan Kelly and Cam O'Rourke recording assists. The deadlock lasted through the end of the third and the teams went to a three-on-three overtime. Just 1:52 into extra time Raider Nelson Powers
ended the game. Masterson said he believed his team deserved a better result. “I thought we outplayed them,” he said. “We had a really good forecheck, we just had a solid game. They had a lucky break in the three-on-three overtime and managed to score.” Masterson said there was quality goaltending at both ends. The Pirates will be using the next few preseason games to help solidify their roster. Masterson said there are still up to five spots available and his focus for the next week will be finding the right players to fill those spots. “I'm really trying to make some final decisions on players,” he said. “We have a good chunk of our roster built, but we are still looking at three, four, maybe five positions.” The Pirates took on the Jets in Amherstview Wednesday night. They'll take on the Jets again tonight at 7:30 p.m. in Wellington. Picton will then take on the North Kawartha Knights in Wellington Saturday at 2:30 p.m. The club is still in need of billet families and anyone interested is asked to contact Masterson at 613-661-0990.
DUKES, from page 16
Shaw Boomhower also had a single tally plus an assist and tied for the club's lead in points this weekend with five as he had three helpers in Friday night's dismantling. Last year's linemate Austin Labelle also had a handful of points and those two showed the same chemistry they had last season with fellow rookie Colin Doyle, However, it's too early in the process to start pencilling line combinations according to the coach. “It's really hard to say at this point because we have a number of guys away at OHL camps and until we know what's going on there, we really can't determine lines,” Abrams said. “Once we find out more, we can get combinations together and go from there.” Among those off to major junior camps as of Monday were Boomhower, Scoley Dow, Cameron Lamour, Mackenzie Warren, Jackson Arcan, Matt Philip, Jack Duff, Keegan Ferguson and Tyler Burnie. In net, Connor Ryckman started both games before giving way to prospects Pierce Nelson and Evan Morrison, respectively, and didn't allow a goal in his 60 minutes or so of action. “On Saturday I thought he made some huge saves early,

stopping a couple of breakaways. I really love his poise and demeanour in net,” Abrams said. Wellington defender Carter Allen was the best blue liner on the ice for Wellington on Friday, picking up a pair of goals and a pair of assists and turned in a terrific game Saturday as well, adding an assist. “He was a really strong player for us, there's more confidence and maturity from him this season. He knows as a 20 year old he's going to be counted for leadership this season and his play has been noticeable,” Abrams added. Wellington was expecting a much stiffer test last night in Trenton. The local outfit finishes off their shortened preseason schedule Friday when they host the Golden Hawks for a 7:30 p.m. start.

Whitepine, Ameliasburgh reach final Best-of-seven series opens in Tyendinaga JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER
With cool nights forecast for the coming weeks, it's natural the Prince Edward County Men's Fastball league is winding up for another season. In Tyendinaga Tuesday evening, Whitepine Watershed put a stamp on the single round-robin elimination set with a 7-0 blanking of Terra Vista. Jamie Thompson picked up the win and Ryan Wagar blasted a home run for the winners. In Picton, Beatty Seeds got past Danford Contracting of Frankford 6-2. The ageless wonder Jim Blakely was a ground ballinducing machine for the Huskers and the ball club played spotless defence behind the wily veteran hurler. The contest was broken open in the bottom of the sixth. With Beatty Seeds leading 3-2, Neil Puffer smashed a two run triple and later came in to score to make it a four run margin. Tim Stevens drove in a pair of runs in the early going to help spark the Beatty Seeds offence.
HUFF AND PUFF Betty Seeds Huskers outfielder Neil Puffer
belted a two-run triple in the bottom of the sixth inning Tuesday night to help his squad down Danford Contracting 6-2 in roundrobin playoff action. (Jason Parks/Gazette staff)
With the dust settled on the single round robin, it's been determined Whitepine Watershed and the Warren's Excavating Ameliasburgh A's will hook up with league supremacy on the line in a best four-of-seven series. This championship series is somewhat of a rematch of last season's final set that saw the now-defunct Roblin's Family Plumbing Copperheads take down Whitepine in dramatic fashion as the Snakes won twice in one night to take the title. A majority of players on
the Roblin's team including pitcher Ian Wallwork now wear the A's uniform. The series will kick off Tuesday in Tyendinaga and then return to Roblin Lake next Thursday. The remaining three squads in the league will play a double round robin to determine a 'B' champion with action getting underway tonight in Picton with Terra Vista and Beatty Seeds hooking up. As was the case in the regular season, all games will get under way at 8:30 p.m.
Staff report says decision won’t set a precedent SIGN, from page 3 "The process to get to this point and the outcome do not set a precedent for how these types of applications are handled in the district. Staff encourages all applicants to apply for permits prior to conducting work. This will help applicants modify works to be compliant with the design guidelines and statement of objective up front rather than after the fact, saving time and potentially money," he wrote. Picton councillor Lenny Epstein questioned how long Nicholls would have to make the changes. He argued the municipality could consider allowing the project to wait until construction is finished. Commissioner of public works Robert McAulay said the timelines would be subject to the discretion of the County's chief building officer, but added he believed it would be a reasonable time frame. Hallowell's Gord Fox questioned whether Epstein's question was linked to the timing of the petition at all. Epstein replied that it was not on his mind at all.

Epstein, Fox concerned changes too restrictive NOISE, from page 1 The bylaw would allow for construction noise to be exempt from the restrictions if the work is related to an emergency repair whether municipal or private. Councillor Jamie Forrester supported greater restrictions on noise from outdoor events. “What we've seen in the last four or five years with the growth in the county with special events — especially in the rural areas — there's a lot more noise being made and people aren't enjoying life quite the way they used to and it's going to continue to grow,” he said. While the initially proposed changes to the bylaw would have restricted noise at outdoor events between the hours of 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., councillor Lenny Epstein argued the restrictions should be relaxed and successfully amended the bylaw to move the 11 p.m. cutoff to 12 a.m.
“I believe this is too restrictive,” he said. He said currently in all residential areas there is an 11 p.m. cutoff for noise whether inside or outside. Epstein said forcing outdoor events outside of residential areas to close down at the same time would send the wrong message. “I feel like we're at risk of creating a policy that could be evaluated as us contributing to a no-fun community, which I really don't want to see.” Councillor Gord Fox echoed Epstein's sentiment of not being overly restrictive. “Remember back to your youth, the party didn't start until 10 or 11 o'clock,” he said. “We have to keep these things in mind.” Council agreed to look into the noise bylaw back in March of this year, approving a motion directing staff to provide a report with options to amend the current bylaw to reflect the community's growth while maintaining a
balance between commercial and residential integration and quality of life. Engineering, development and works commissioner Robert McAuley said the suggested changes came about as a way to try to address circumstances where an outdoor event is taking place partially inside a structure, such as a barn with its doors open. “The sound permeates out through the open doors and out into the environment.” McAuley said the new wording in the bylaw and definition of an outdoor event would cover any instance where expanses of walls are left open on a structure. He said if a complaint were received after 12 a.m. the bylaw officer would ask the offender to close the doors or otherwise move the venue and once the doors are closed it would no longer be classified as an outdoor event. After 2 a.m. the remaining sections of the bylaw would take over.
Food Not Bombs events like miniature festivals FEAST, from page 1 "It's awesome. There are so many different things here. I loved the popcorn," she said. Andrea Dreifelds heard about Feast from her friend Rachel Greer and they both decided to bring their families to the event. She said initially, she wasn't sure what to expect, but she was impressed. "We thought we'd spend
some time outside and see what it is all about," she said. "I think it's wonderful. It's nice to see all the resources out there. We didn't know what it was going to be about." Both Dreifelds and Greer said they loved trying the authentic Syrian food. They said they'd come back again. Renaud says it took many people to make Feast a reality and given their efforts, the first incarnation was a success.
She said plans are underway for next year, already, though she invited people to come back to Benson Park or the Picton Town Hall for Food Not Bombs events in the meantime. "We do a miniature version of this all the time with Food Not Bombs," she said. "Families come, personal support workers with their clients, and seniors drop in. It's a nice place to come and hang out."

The government has missed the mark with recently announced amendments to two regulations that impact Ontario farmers’ ability to protect their livestock from predators. Proposed regulatory changes would extend no hunting/no trapping zones for Algonquin wolves and coyotes into new areas of Ontario, and restrict the ability of farmers to protect their livestock from predators when there is an imminent risk. The economic implications for livestock producers do not seem to have been accounted for in both of the proposed amendments that apply to the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act and the Endangered Species Act, 2007. The Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) has submitted a formal response to these proposed changes to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry. We have itemized in detail, and with supporting evidence, all the red flags these changes raise for Ontario’s livestock producers. Here are highlights from OFA’s formal submission. A response period of 31 days, during busy summer months, demonstrates that regulators are not in touch with the groups impacted by proposed changes. If you really want input and feedback, consideration must be given to the audience. The short turnaround time for farmers who will be affected by the proposed ban on hunting and trapping wolves and coyotes, effectively excludes their voices from the process. But farmers’ voices should be heard. It is their livelihood that will suffer if no hunting and no trapping zones are expanded into other areas of Ontario. Compensation payments to livestock producers exceeded $1.6 million in 2015, paid out through the Ontario Wildlife Damage Compensation Program. The compensation does not, however, reflect the full value of the lost animals. Coyotes were responsible for $1.2 million of claims – a whopping 75%. Clearly, coyotes are a huge problem for livestock production in Ontario, and farmers need the ability to protect their assets. The proposed amendments make no clear distinction between Algonquin wolves and coyotes. But they are very different and should be treated differently in any regulatory changes. OFA has requested that proposed hunting and trapping bans apply only to Algonquin wolves. Including coyotes undermines the intent of the Endangered Species Act. Coyotes have an extensive range throughout southern Ontario. They have readily adapted to urban and farming surroundings, and could be consider an invasive species, not one that needs extensive protection at the expense of Ontario’s livestock industry. Ontario agriculture is the backbone of the robust food system that we all depend on, and are so fortunate to have access to. We need legislation and regulations that are developed by an inclusive, consultative process that considers and consults those whose livelihood will be directly impacted. OFA will be actively advocating for the recommendations in our full EBR submission that can be viewed at ofa.on.ca.
