raised concerns over potential for harm

Heirloom Hurrah a popular place to celebrate the harvest

MNR herpetologist says he advised against issuing permit for Ostrander Point project

ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

Business was brisk at Vicki's Veggies' annual Heirloom Hurrah tomato tasting festival. In the early afternoon hours Saturday, Vicki Emlaw was scrambling to get tomatoes cut to fill out tables with more than 121 different varieties available to try. At that point, she said her sister told her there had been 500 people through the gate, but she felt there had been many more. "It's been very, very busy," Emlaw said. "We've had trouble keeping up with cutting tomatoes for the festival. That's good, but it has also been quite stressful." Emlaw said the allure of the festival she's offered over the past 12 years is the chance to try varieties of tomatoes many people had no idea existed before they visited her Morrison Point home. "For many people, they just see the typical grocery store tomatoes and they don't know there are this many varieties — and this is just the tip of the iceberg," she said. "Here, they're able to see them and taste the difference. They can see it for themselves."

The Ontario government proceeded with a renewable energy approval for the Ostrander Point wind energy project despite concerns from one of its own senior endangered species experts. That's the conclusion environmental lawyer Eric Gillespie came to while cross-examining Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry herpetologist Joe Crowley Friday afternoon during Environmental Review Tribunal (ERT) hearings in Demorestville. Representing the Prince Edward County Field Naturalists (PECFN) in hearings to determine if the project's proponent could come up with a remedy to the serious and irreversible harm the ERT ruled it would cause local Blanding's turtle populations, Gillespie proceeded on a line of questioning that ultimately resulted in an abrupt end to the day's session and an order for further documentation about concerns that may have been raised early in the approvals process.

tant day," Gillespie told those gathered at the Alliance to Protect Prince Edward County annual general meeting at Mt. Tabor. "Many important things happened." Gillespie said he started his cross examination by addressing the Endangered Species Act permit Gilead Power possesses to kill, harm, and harass endangered species while proceeding with the project. He simply started by asking if that permit meant that turtles are going to be killed. "That question had a right and wrong answer in my mind," Gillespie said.

Rednersville artists put homes, work on display for eighth annual tour Visitors stopped at 14 sites on or around County Rd. 3 to see creativity from 28 exhibitors ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

A year of creative energy and hard work for 28 artists culminated with a busy three days along County Rd. 3 last weekend. For many of those artists, the eighth annual Rednersville Road Art Tour represented the largest showcase of their work within the past 12 months. Traditionally, the artists do a pretour ahead of schedule so that they can see the other offerings produced for the show. Sharon Kennedy has had a spot on the tour for the past four years and she said

the works did not disappoint. “There’s a really nice variety this year. We have some great artists,” she said. Kennedy has been living on County Rd. 3 for about 20 years. She recalled that some of her friends were on the tour initially and they encouraged her to become involved. “They suggested I might like to do it as well,” she said, adding throughout the year she works to have new pieces available for the weekend. The week of the tour is also a lot of work for Kennedy as she moves her television out of her living room and sets up an

inviting display for people to walk into as they enter from the garden outside. The walls feature a range of watercolour, photography, and prints, while a rack of scarves also draws interest in the corner of the room. Kennedy indicated she’s always had an interest in art and found joy in trying new art forms. In many mediums, she is self-taught. “I did take watercolour lessons and I also do a lot of reading, too,’ she said. “There are a lot of good art books and you get good ideas from them.” One thing that Kennedy

said caught a few visitors’ eyes is the way she incorporates little creatures into her colourful paintings. Another line of work that seemed to be the topic of conversation at her studio was the scarves and prints she made using an eco-printing technique. “That’s something new and I’ve had a lot of interest,” she said. “It’s a process that uses the natural dyes in the leaves.” Kennedy said she took a course in the technique from a teacher who learned about it in Amsterdam. She enjoys the idea of collecting leaves, twigs, and other items from her yard, creating patterns, and setting the dye to make prints. A number of landscape photos were also attention grabbers, including one she shot in Antarctica. When it comes to photography, Kennedy said she has a simple philosophy. “I always keep a camera with me. Whenever I see something good, I shoot,” she said. During the first day of the tour, Saturday, Kennedy said she saw a few repeat visitors from past years as well as a number of new customers. Traffic was steady. “It’s about the same as last year, maybe a bit higher.” In Rednersville, just south of County Rd. 3 sits Active Arts Studio, a former Wesleyan-Methodist church that Jeff Keary turned into a home,

a studio, and a performance venue. Some visitors, including former members of the church’s congregation stopped by the site to see what Keary — an interior designer by trade — did with it. Others made the trek because it was one of the busier hubs on the tour with three artists — Keary, oil painter Linda Phipps Nicoll, and mixed media painter Eucalypta Apurimac — stationed there.

Keary said he moved to Rednersville to pursue his art after researching the county on the Internet while living in London, England. “We were aware of the artistic community here and we knew what (economic development officer) Dan Taylor was doing then,” he said. “When we arrived in Toronto, we had four churches we had our eye on.”

Descendants of Werden family visit historic Athol homestead Magistrate emigrated to area from Connecticut penniless and slowly built a fortune worth an estimated $250,000 by death in 1866 ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

When Claude Werden read there was a vacancy at the Marshlands Vacation Home on County Rd. 11 last week, he just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to visit. The 89-year-old Oakville resident wasn’t lured to the county by fine wine or pristine beaches, however. His attachment runs much deeper. Werden wanted to visit the homestead believed to be the oldest brick home in the county because his ancestor, Asa Werden, built it in 1813. “We come to Picton once a year and we drive by it,” Werden explained. “We’ve known of this house for many years, but we didn’t come in.” The closest he managed to

get to touring the home came years ago when the Sykes family — the second clan to own the home — lived in it. Werden managed to get to the front door, but no further. The third owner, John Porritt, however, proved to be more accommodating. Porritt bought the home in 1995 and painstakingly restored the building. He read about the Werden family and their history and painstakingly tried to restore it to period. “It took a lot of effort,” he said. “After 200 years, it’s amazing how strong the walls are. They’re not made with Portland cement, they’re made with lime and sand.” His partner, Lillian Purdy, noted they’ve researched the family so much that “I feel like I am related.”

When Claude, his wife Verda, and daughter Cori came to stay for five days, it was more than just another rental. The two families gathered Tuesday the dining room that had once been the kitchen in the original four-bedroom home to share stories of one of Athol’s early pioneers. Laid out before them was a scrapbook detailing the stories of generations of Werdens, a piece of wood from Porritt’s summer kitchen renovation signed in pencil by Asa Werden’s son Sullie, and some selected historical textbooks

— among them The Settler’s Dream and Pioneer life on the Bay of Quinte. Claude explained he is descended from Asa Werden’s older brother Elias who came to the county after him. Elias was his great-great-great grandfather, he said. He told a story about how his mother sought to claim a benefit for being of United Empire Loyalist lineage, only to discover that Asa Werden came from a family of divided loyalty around the time of the American revolution. His grandfather was loyal to the British Crown and was

sent to the Isle of Dominica on prison ship off New York. His official business. He died on name is etched on a martyrs that trip. Asa and Elias’ father, plaque in Brooklyn, N.Y. however, fought with the coloSee HOME, page 16 nials and actually died upon a

ERT orders government witnesses to share records about Blanding’s turtles HEARING, from page 1

"We got the wrong answer. Without hesitation, he said yes. That is, I think, disturbing when that is the official position of the senior manager in charge of protecting our species." Gillespie indicated he followed with a question about whether it would be better to leave the turtles alone and not go ahead with the project. Again, he received an affirmative answer. The lawyer continued by referring to Crowley's analysis that Blanding's turtles like to nest in gravel. He noted that there would be a creation of 5.4 kilometres of

gravel roads, which would create habitat the turtles would love to use — but also that would put them at higher risk. "I said, 'What you're really saying is we're going to encourage them to nest right in the middle of the highestrisk situation that kills more of them than anything else?' I got a yes answer to that too." While Gillespie was thinking of wrapping up his questioning at that point and asking why any more questioning was necessary, he decided to continue probing for answers. He wanted to know why scientists concerned with saving species

would sign off on such on the ESA permit. "I said to him, 'You approved this permit, didn't you?' I was expecting a 'yes' answer to that one, but he said "No. What would make you think that?'" Gillespie's questioning followed with what Crowley did about it. He learned the witness had expressed concerns and someone else decided. That set off alarm bells. "None of this had ever been made public. We'd just gone through the entire ERT process — 40 days and 40 nights, kind of Biblical really, and to divisional court and superior court, all with-

out knowing their senior species expert was saying all along not to do this. What a surprise," Gillespie said. He followed by asking if any of those concerns were recorded or documented. Crowley told him there might be e-mails, Gillespie recalled. With that, he made a request of ERT members Robert Wright and Janet Gibbs. "I said 'We want those documents now and we want anything else,'" Gillespie said. "Those documents are going to go other places and it would be very important to know who signed off and told the top species-atrisk person you're not going

to get what you know is right." After hearing arguments from all representatives, the ERT ruled all Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry witnesses produce all of the papers and electronic correspondence to date relating to roads, the Blanding's turtle, and the site in question. Following that disclosure, the ERT is expected to reconvene Sept. 23-25. Gillespie indicated Crowley remains hung in cross examination until the hearing resumes. Gillespie called the decision a "major breakthrough" that puts the government in a difficult position, noting

the existence of such conversations has been requested both in freedom of information requests and through the approvals process. He also indicated the evidence might help PECFN make an argument to be awarded costs for their fight thus far. "We are already talking about a costs claim, in other words, going back and asking for a cost," he said, in answer to a question about that strategy. While Gillespie said he believes the testimony will likely have an impact on the Ostrander Point hearing, he added Crowley's evidence could also bolster the APPEC challenge on wpd Canada's White Pines project. He gave evidence that those turtles typically do move around a six-kilometre range. He noted the White Pines project surrounds the Ostrander Point one, so it would likely be shared habitat. "If the turtles deserve protection from Gilead, they deserve the same protection where the White Pines project thinks it's going to set up," he said. That ERT hearing was expected to begin with a preliminary hearing yesterday, though Gillespie said the APPEC board was discussing strategy options that might see them argue to postpone that hearing until the Gilead ERT hearing and a judicial review on cultural heritage are completed. During his speech at the APPEC meeting, Gillespie noted he's been working with Prince Edward County residents on the wind file for seven years and encouraged opponents to keep up their fight. "As I was coming here today, I realized that it was just over seven years ago that I came to the county, really for the first time. I sat in on a meeting in Milford Town Hall in August seven years ago," he said. “Many things have actually changed, but two haven’t. One is the warmth and hospitality of the people of this county. If there’s a trademark, if there’s a signature to this place, that’s got to be one of them and I hope it always stays that way. The other, through the hard, hard work and contributions from many people, many of whom are sitting here today, this county is still turbine free."

Elementary teachers start school year on work-to-rule campaign Union steps up job action across province JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER

Local elementary school teachers joined their provincial brothers and sisters last week in phase two of a workto-rule program. The Elementary Teacher's Federation of Ontario (ETFO) announced last week that a number of classroom and after school activities would not be conducted by their membership as talks between the Ministry of Education, the Ontario Public School Boards Association and the teacher's group plodder on. Among the motions in the second phase include elementary teachers not engaging in any electronic communication with the principal or viceprincipal outside of the instructional day except in situations that involve a safety concern; not collecting or distributing any paperwork required by the school or board; not collecting monies; not performing or participating in any activities, meetings, and training related to Board Improvement Plan for Student Achievement (BIPSA) and School Improvement Plan for Student Achievement (SIPSA); participate in board professional development (other than mandatory first aid training, Sabrinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Law and WHMIS); and not participating in board committees (other than health and safety,

staffing committees, and school council meetings). Members of ETFO are also being advised not to participate in school fundraising or schedule any class field trips as they continue to put heat on the Board and the province without moving to an all-out strike action. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are calling this an administrative work-to-rule because most things on the list are designed to impact the ministry and the school board rather than the classroom,â&#x20AC;? ETFO Hastings Prince Edward Local president Dave Henderson told the Gazette Wednesday morning. It seems that a breakthrough in central bargaining talks could come at any moment and Henderson confirmed that talks were continuing in Toronto between the three parties. Elementary teachers are part of a two-tier bargaining process where 'big ticket' items like salary and benefits, preparation time and class size caps are conducted centrally. The locals represent teachers when it comes to working conditions, leaves, etc. Henderson said the road block centrally was when the province put a number of new initiatives on the bargaining table. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They put a lot of stuff on the table that amounted to strips to our collective agreement and they were seeking to control things they had never controlled before like

prep time and these were real stumbling blocks that were designed to throw a wrench into bargaining, in my opinion,â&#x20AC;? Henderson said. As was the case with the Ontario secondary school teachers and the English Catholic teachers, talks heated up when the province budged on a number of the contentious points. But unlike those other groups, a deal with elementary teachers has yet to be struck and ETFO will continue down the path of work-torule until all sides are in agreement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What happens with the

other groups doesn't necessarily affect us, but by and large the fact they were able to get a deal done is a positive sign and probably means the school boards were interested in getting a deal completed,â&#x20AC;? Henderson stated. Locally, talks took place earlier in the year and Henderson said that progress was made in the groups dealings with the Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have been able to make progress and we are planning to resume the talks this fall, we just haven't set a date yet,â&#x20AC;? Henderson said.

COMMENTARY Canada must act to protect those affected by war, persecution

PHOTOS of a drowned toddler on a Turkish beach who died as his family sought refuge from conflict-ridden Syria travelled quickly and shocked the world last week. That shows the power of an image and the importance of such a horrific event being captured by someone with the means to distribute it. In a matter of minutes, it put a face on the hardships millions of people have been trying to escape in a war-torn region and their struggles to escape them. Suddenly, with that horrific scene burned into their conscience, people wanted to take action and they wanted to see a solution to a problem that few recognized existed and one that seemed so distant because a lot of people in Europe and North America simply cannot imagine the situation displaced refugees are struggling to live through. If only there was a safe way to get more cameras and more reporters into the dangerous parts of the world, perhaps there would be a new appreciation for the ills and evils that exist therein. Regrettably, the defining image surfaced in the middle of a federal election campaign and an already partisan machine whirred into overdrive. There was some finger pointing by public figures who felt Canada should have done better in its attempts to help those impacted in the Middle East, but there were also those trying to score political points by one-upping one another with promises of what an elected government could or would do in the future. Instead of the electioneering, it is time for action. While Canadian worship communities, schools, service and social organizations are getting their dollars in line and finding accommodations to prepare for an influx of people, the country’s political leaders should be working across party lines to come up with a way to rise to the occasion and accept those seeking a fresh start and a peaceful, democratic way of life. The task requires planning and it requires a streamlined

process that will give legitimate refugees a chance to view Canada as a land of opportunity and a fresh start, just as scores of people have for years. That said, it is important that Canada sets up a system to properly screen refugees and get them situated. The plans must ensure the country can support those people it takes in, however, and it must ensure those who come here are incorporated in a way that is a boon, not a burden to our economy and social systems. While turning a blind eye to the strife abroad is a grave sin in itself, Canada cannot do it all on its own either. The effort to accommodate those displaced by war or by religious persecution should be a global effort of those countries who are fortunate enough to consider offering aid. The discussion about the refugee crisis has also brought forward the controversial decision that Canada would be involved in coalition efforts to battle the Islamic State and its rigid world view. Prime Minister Stephen Harper has stated that military campaign is one way to address the root cause of the hardships these refugees have been facing. Some would say that you can’t stop war with war, but one must question whether the Islamic State group would stop if the world stopped paying attention to them. Would their record of violence, oppression, and genocide stop if the bombing stopped. Would innocent people be safe and prosper if the rest of the world turned its collective head? Somehow, we doubt that. Sooner or later, one would have to wonder if there would be any people left to displace — and then, if the movement has control of that part of the world, where will it turn next? If military action doesn’t send the message, what will? We’re all ears if there’s an alternative. Perhaps, if there were more startling, gruesome images coming out of the Middle East on a regular basis, there’d be an appetite to find solutions.

Paint Around event a highlight of expanded studio tour BETTY ZYVATKAUSKAS FOR THE GAZETTE

“No more painting!” shouted Sharon Fox Cranston as four fast-working artists gave each other the brush off. The splattered paint and flying brushes were all in a good cause, raising money for Hospice Prince Edward in a new Paint Around event. Last Wednesday artists Karole Marois, Joanna McFarland and Sam Sakr joined Fox Cranston for a practice Paint Around session at the Baxter Arts Centre in Bloomfield. As artists dabbed the paint on their pallets, Prince Edward County Studio Tour chair Sharon Fox Cranston explained the concept. “Each artist brings an image for inspiration. They have five minutes to start their painting before the clock runs out and they move on to the next easel. By the time the Paint Around is finished and each artist has

worked on it, the painting may look completely different from the original inspiration. Or it may stay true to the original idea. Whatever the outcome, the results are an amazing collaboration that can produce surprising and inspiring results. Best of all, the public is invited to watch the action and buy a raffle ticket to win one of the paintings.”

Within seconds of starting, the tension was building. “I need more paint, lots more paint,” said Sakr. “I need bigger brushes,” said Joanna McFarland. When timekeeper Sharon Fox Cranston gave the 42-second warning that their first five minutes was nearly up, the pressure to lay down the paint was on. “You get possessive; it’s hard to stop,” said Karole Marois as

she moved from her starting landscape of green trees to Sharon’s roughed-in field of flowers. Hospice Prince Edward resource development coordinator Judy Fraser, and board member Peter Matthewman were on hand at the preview to see how the Paint Around will work. “The concept is overwhelming. Seeing the cre-

ative process in action is impressive and exciting,” said Matthewman. “I’m absolutely impressed with all the different skill sets and techniques and the collaborative effort that produces such amazing results in such a short time,” said Fraser as she admired the finished paintings produced at the preview event. “It’s great to see everyone coming together in this event,” she added. The Paint Around is a highlight of new launch party that will celebrate the expansion of the Prince Edward County Studio Tour. Now spanning two weekends (Sept. 18 - 20, Sept. 26 27), this year’s tour will feature a record 80 artists in a wide range of media. The launch party also offers a sneak preview of the tour. Original works from the participating artists and will be on sale.

These last months most of us have followed the flight and the awful plight of so many refugees from Syria and other war-torn countries in the Middle East. The newspapers have informed us of tragic deaths, people locked in and perishing in a truck and many people and fami-

lies drowning in the Mediterranean ocean. It is all very disturbing and not least the tragic photo and story of the little 3 year old drowning along with his family. We want to help, we have so much going for us here, how can we help?

The Globe and Mail wrote about a "municipal response: mayors from across the country vowing to lead in settling refugees." Sept.5. 2015 I know that we are only a very small municipality compared with Calgary and such big cities but if for

example the people of Prince Edward County got together to contribute to sponsoring one family and all small municipalities did the same what a difference that will make1 My husband and I also have space that can house a small family until perma-

nent accommodation is found. I am sure many would be willing to offer similar help. Come on Canada, let us share our good fortune and good luck! Elna Harborow Cherry Valley

County has history of accepting refugees, why not welcome more?

What if Prince Edward County were to accept 1,000 refugees? The county has accepted many more: 200 years ago a man and a

woman for every 200 acres. They received some support from the Crown: an ox, some nails, and a welcome. Some got started and then

moved on to bigger things in Ottawa, Toronto, or Montreal (we have statues of them). Some stayed, and helped build a community with their

youth and energy. We accept retiree economic refugees back from Ottawa, Toronto, and Montreal, now. A younger bunch would bal-

ance things out. We might have to re-open some schools. John Porritt East Lake

On Thursday, Sept. 17 at 7 p.m., the community is invited to join filmmaker Lenny Epstein for a showing of his film “Til the Cows Come Home” followed the next evening by a book launch for Death by Triangulation with author John Oughton. Both events take place at the Picton library branch. “When Canada's government takes the decision to transform the correctional system to one that puts punishment first, Canada's rehabilitative prison farms are one of the first casualties,” explains a film synopsis “A strong opposition forms towards the farm closures and for two days in the late summer of 2010, hundreds of angry protesters stand in front of Frontenac Prison Farm in the heart of Kingston, Ontario, ready to block cattle trucks brought in to remove the hundred-yearold prize dairy herd. The dramatic standoff between protesters and police lasts two days, through pouring rain and hot sun. Black-clad police arrest 24 people, the youngest 14 years old, the oldest, 85.” “Til the Cow Come

INSIDE THE LIBRARY Christine Renaud

Home” tells the story behind this display of civil disobedience, filled with confrontations and a cast of colourful characters, from irate farmers to passionate nuns and endearing ex-cons. Winner of the audience award at Belleville Docfest and called "Provocative" by the Toronto Star, "Brilliant" in the Peterborough Examiner and "Powerful" in the Kingston Whig Standard, this film asks questions about

the Canadian government's hardening approach to criminal justice, food security and democracy itself. Epstein will be at the screening for a question-andanswer session. The next evening, Friday Sept. 18, also at 7 p.m., join us for a reading and talk with author John Oughton as he brings his new book Death by Triangulation. This mystery novel is set largely in the county where the book’s editor and publisher Dale Winslow spent some of her teens and attended PECI and where the author currently resides. “We first met in the social media site MySpace, which at one time hosted a large number of writers and artists. Dale was the mysterious “Lady Blackbird” who was posting some excellent poetry, and that’s all I knew about her at first,” says Oughton. “Dale and I didn’t realize that we shared a Bloomfield connection for a while.” But the two became friends, and Dale, who has since moved to Victoria, B.C and founded Neopoiesis Press, invited him to edit her first poetry

collection, Tinderbox. As for the novel, “It was great working with her on my manuscript because we both knew many of the settings for the story: Lake on the Mountain, the Picton airport, Waupoos… “ says Oughton. There are scenes at a fictional winery and a Wellington bank as well. “I hope that the county elements add to the appeal of my novel as something fun to read on the beach or your deck. “ The quirky story focuses on motorcycle-riding poet Aaron Miles, who hires out as a cultural investigator. He likes nice little cases with a dash of irony, elements of art or literature, and no violence, thank you very much. But then a wealthy Toronto family hires him to wrap up the affairs of their recently deceased black sheep uncle, a notorious anti-Papist and man of letters, and intrigue ensues. In particular, they want Miles to erase any traces of a past conspiracy the uncle had alluded to. Rich people hate scandal. Against his will, Miles uncovers a plot, both large in scope and decades old, to cover up the truth about a

major 20th century mystery. Mostly set in the county, the story accelerates to Toronto, upstate New York, and the Dominican Republic as Miles tries to stay ahead of the secret's shadowy enforcers. This is the first novel by Oughton, who was born in Guelph, Ontario, a block from the John McCrae House . He completed his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in English at York University. After a half-year stay in Kyoto, Japan, he worked at Coach House Press and as a journalist and corporate communicator. He was a research assistant to Allen Ginsberg and Anne Waldman. John began teaching English in community colleges, and is now a professor at Centennial College. He has published five books of poetry, most recently Time Slip (Guernica Editions), several chapbooks, and over 400 articles, interviews, reviews and blogs.

Health unit confirms King Street office closure Relocation of services to PEFHT site to save $100,000 annually JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER

As was first reported in the Gazette last month, Hastings Prince Edward Public Health confirmed last week the King Street office that has been used since the mid-1980s will be closed and services relocated to the Prince Edward Family Health Team (PEFHT) office starting in January. Medical officer of health Dr. Richard Schabas told the Gazette that the relocation would net the organization over $100,000 in savings annually without any reduction of services that the Health Unit currently offers. Water testing, immunization updates, travel clinics, sexual health clinics, needle exchanges and tick collection are some of the many services offered at the King Street site and this will continue when the office is relocated to Bridge Street. starting in the new year. Schabas explained that the relocation is an operational move and that while the board of health was advised of the situation, a motion from the body was not necessary. “This is different than the situation in Madoc where we closed the office and services had to be redistributed. This is really just moving from one location to another.”

MOVING ON Hastings Prince Edward Public Health made official its plans to relocate services within Picton from its office on King Street to the Prince Edward Family Health team space on Bridge Street in the new year . (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

The medical officer of health stressed that local residents would not see reductions in the compliment of services currently offered. “There will be no cuts in service and if anything, we think the services will be enhanced in this new building because of the synergy with the family health team,” he added. As part of the agreement with the PEFHT, the health unit will utilize receptionist staff and conduct most of their clinics on Wednesday, a day when most physicians shutter their offices in order to conduct rounds at Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital. “That allows us to make use of empty space and the receptionist staff,” Schabas said. “I think it's important to recognize this is not a land-

lord-tenant arrangement, this is a partnership agreement.” With the move towards a partnership between the two health service providers and talk of a new family health team office located near a potential redeveloped hospital, Schabas was asked about another potential move sometime in the future. “Both parties have entered into this agreement with the spirit that we are two major community health care providers in Prince Edward County and this is a way we can work together,” Schabas added. “We would hope to be included in part of that planning and part of a potential move if this partnership flourishes and I have every reason to believe that it will.”

$3.55-million facility to house fire department, paramedics in Picton

Ground broken for emergency station CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

By this time next year the Prince Edward County Fire Department will have a new home in Picton. County officials, municipal staff, and members of the fire and paramedic services gathered in Picton yesterday to break ground on Picton's new fire and paramedic facility at 8 McDonald Drive. Taskforce Engineering Inc. — in consultation with Colbourne & Kembel Architects Inc. and overseen by

MHPM Project Management — will construct the facility at a cost of $3,554,470 plus HST. The facility is expected to be open by fall of 2016. The 17,319-square-foot building will feature four double bays for the fire service and two double bays for the paramedic service and 911 dispatch. The new building would include new administration offices for the fire department, paramedic service and 911 dispatch. “This is a significant day for Prince Edward County

and for our fire department,” said Mayor Robert Quaiff. He said the new facility is the result of five years of consultation and planning. “The amount of hours of input and dialogue that's gone into this project is truly significant,” he said. Quaiff congratulated fire chief Scott Manlow for his guidance and thanked the master fire plan working committee for their work to get to this point.

Deadline extended to accommodate South Marysburgh residents Ferguson asks colleagues to offer additional time to complete council-size surveys as original date fell on same day as public meeting CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

Those looking to submit their views on council size will have a bit of extra time to do so. Council voted on Tuesday to extend the deadline for the public survey regarding the review of council size and the proposed electoral ward boundary options. The deadline has been extended to Oct. 5. The orig-

inal deadline was Sept. 30, falling on the same date as the public consultation meeting scheduled in South Marysburgh. A reconsideration motion was required to alter the date. South Marysburgh councillor Steve Ferguson called for the extension at Tuesday's meeting, saying the extension would give participants at the public meeting more time to review the options before submitting the survey.

“The reason for this is the survey deadline is the same night as the South Marysburgh public meeting,” he said. “I'm asking to extend that deadline as a courtesy to the residents of South Marysburgh.” In a release from the municipality, Mayor Robert Quaiff said the deadline extension gives residents a better chance to provide comment. “We have extended the survey deadline to provide

as many people as possible with the opportunity to provide feedback on the review of size of council and electoral ward boundaries,” said Quaiff. “We have been receiving many responses at both the public meetings and online, and encourage the public to take advantage of this opportunity to help us understand how they want us to proceed.” The deadline applies to both the online and hard

copy surveys. The survey can be found online at www.thecounty.ca/sizeofcouncil while hard copies can be found at each public consultation meeting, at all county libraries, at Shire Hall, and at the Edward Building at 280 Main Street in Picton. Further public consultation meetings are scheduled for tonight at Kente Public School in Ameliasburgh, Sept. 15 at the Wellington District Community Centre,

Sept. 21 at Sophiasburgh Town Hall, Sept. 23 at North Marysburgh Town Hall, Sept. 24 at the Prince Edward Community Centre, and Sept. 30 at South Marysburgh Town Hall. Each meeting runs from 7–9 p.m. All the feedback received through the public consultation sessions and through the survey will be brought forward to council at a special committee-of-the-whole meeting scheduled for Oct. 29 at 7 p.m.

APPEC membership energized at annual general meeting Saturday News about local, provincial anti-wind efforts shared ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

If the membership of the Alliance to Protect Prince Edward County (APPEC) is tiring of its long fight to keep industrial wind turbines out of the municipality, it was hard to notice Saturday. As the organization prepares to front two Environmental Review Tribunal (ERT) challenges on the wpd Canada White Pines approval, nearly every seat was full at Mt. Tabor for its annual general meeting. In fact, treasurer Sandra Goranson said nearly as many people paid for membership that morning as in the entire calendar year previous. After running through financials and board appointments, a series of speakers took to the stage to provide information and encouragement to anti-wind advocates. Wind Concerns Ontario (WCO) president Jane Wilson kicked off the event by sharing her opinion that attitudes are turing against industrial wind in the province. “I was recently asked what have you people done over the past four years. People say ‘You haven’t stopped a single wind power project.’ My answer to that is nothing could be further from the truth. We actually have

stopped wind power projects,” she said. “Actions at the community level and provincially have made Ontario a very unfriendly place for wind power development. Wilson said she also believes the media has started to turn away from support for Green Energy Act-driven projects primarily because of their financial impact, but also because of the effects on health and the environment. She said the county remains the hot spot for the environmental argument. “The environment is really catching interest now and that’s where your fight is,” she said. “Why is the Ontario government bringing this high impact, low benefit form of power development technology? How can you possibly be destroying the environment at the same time you’re claiming to save it?” South Marysburgh councillor Steve Ferguson provided an update from council and said representatives at Shire Hall are watching developments closely and reviewing legal opinions for how they can be involved. He spoke about how in 2012 he comissioned a vote of South Marysburgh residents through his Marysburgh Mirror that showed nearly 90 per cent of people who voted were opposed to the developments. His concern then remains now, he said. “I’m angry that we live in a province that ostensibly we

are having our democratic rights removed...” he said. “If I were not a councillor, the Mirror would be having a very large rally, which I’m glad to say somebody is putting on at the end of the month... I hope it will demonstrate people’s feelings in no uncertain terms in regard to installation of the wpd project and the Ostrander project. I think it’s very important it be a lawful, but angry demonstration of how people feel.” That demonstration will be held Sept. 27 and if Elizabeth Driver has her way, it will include community members linking hands around Mt. Tabor to show the value of cultural heritage in the debate. To a standing ovation, Driver announced she and husband Edwin Rowse served a revised application for judicial review to the environment and culture ministries. She said the review asks divisional court to set aside the White Pines renewable energy approval, stopping wpd Canada’s appeal to the ERT to replace two turbines removed due to cultural heritage — “the last staw” in her mind — and to require wpd Canada to conduct another cultural heritage impact assessment with proper consultation and identification of cultural heritage assets. She

also hoped the court would direct the ERT to hold off on hearing appeals until cultural heritage was addressed. “This is not about stopping the project. It is about identifying which turbines are going to cause the worst impacts and having them removed,” she said. “That’s what we’re asking and we have, we feel, very good grounds.” Driver said even her legal representatives don’t know when the review will take place and when a hearing would take place compared to the ERT hearing process. The final speaker was lawyer Eric Gillespie, who will work on the APPEC-driven challenges to White Pines at the ERT. He also provided updates on the Ostrander Point challenge, which the Prince Edward County Field Naturalists (PECFN) led. Gillespie credited the many county groups who have worked together on the various challenges, including PECFN and the County Coalition For Safe, Appropriate Green Energy (CCSAGE). He said APPEC has worked hard with its partners to create a strategy for its challenges on human health and environmental grounds for the ERT hearings that were to start with a preliminary hearing yesterday in Wellington.

“There has been a tremendous amount of work going into the White Pines appeal,” he said. “We have been working hard to get experts and evidence and put together the case. We have demonstrated

once you can win at the ERT... we believe we can do it again.” Chair Gord Gibbins called Saturday’s annual meeting the most lively one APPEC has had in years.

Yet another wide-reaching magazine has shone its spotlight on Prince Edward Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s culinary delights. This fall, the LCBOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Food & Drink magazine will feature a colourful 14-page spread highlighting places to stay and things to eat and drink while visiting different parts of the municipality. The Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s corporate communications officer Ashley Stewart said writer Chris Johns, photographer Rob Fiocca and their crew visited last summer to see wineries, shops, parks, events and more. Johns highlighted the areas Wellington, Bloomfield, and Picton and suggested places to visit near each of those three larger urban areas. Stewart was pleased to learn about the exposure the piece will offer local businesses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is wonderful coverage and publicity that promotes Prince Edward County as a top destinatin to more than 500,000 food and drink enthusiasts across Ontario.â&#x20AC;?

He said despite those challenges, both the fire and paramedics feel the new building is going to be a great benefit to everyone. He said each service has their â&#x20AC;&#x153;own very unique cultures, histories, and structures that need to be respectedâ&#x20AC;? but he said he and Manlow have worked to ensure the two services can work together. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope going forward this building will serve as a shining example of collaboration and co-operation between the paramedic and firefighting services,â&#x20AC;? said Bowker.

The current building also doesn't meet accessibility standards or provide an appropriate customer service area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's going to be a great benefit to the service.

The new facility was recommended following the completion of the Master Fire Plan Location Study, which indicated the new building could improve efficiency and would result in an overall operational cost savings. The fire department's new home would allow for the consolidation and redistribution of fire equipment, reducing longterm operating and building maintenance costs. Additionally, the new building is expected to improve accessibility, paving the way for improved response times. The co-location with the paramedic service is also expected to improved com-

New rules regarding distracted driving, sharing the road in effect Sept. 1

The Ministry of Transportation has announced that as of Sept. 1, 2015 the rules of the road in Ontario were updated. Changes include tougher penalties for distracted driving, new rules to protect cyclists and measures to ensure the safety of tow truck drivers and children riding school buses. Penalties for distracted driving will include an increased set fine of $490 and three demerit points upon conviction. Novice drivers will receive a minimum 30-day suspension for the first conviction and longer suspensions for subsequent convictions. A novice driver is one with a G1, G2, M1, M2, M2L or M2-M licence. If current collision trends continue, fatalities from distracted driving may exceed those from drinking and driving by 2016. Research indicates that a driver who uses a cell phone is four times more likely to be in a crash. The "dooring" of cyclists will carry an increased set fine of $365 and three demerit points upon conviction. New rules will also require drivers to leave a one-metre distance where possible when passing cyclists, or they may face the penalty of a $110 set fine and two demerit points. Cyclists who don't use the required bicycle lights and reflectors face a higher set fine of $110.

up to $2,000 and six demerit points for a first conviction. Note that the fines as listed above include the victim fine surcharge and court costs. Find out more about the changes at this web site: www.mto.gov.on.ca

CLASSROOM DRIVING REFRESHER COURSE

INFO FOR SENIORS Debbie MacDonald Moynes

A bike must have a white front light and a red rear light or reflector if you ride between a half-hour before sunset and a half-hour after sunrise, and white reflective tape on the front forks and red reflective tape on rear forks. Drivers must now leave a safe passing distance between themselves and tow trucks stopped on the roadside to provide assistance. Failing to slow down and move over for a tow truck can result in a set fine of $490. School buses will be more recognizible -- they will now be the only buses permitted to be chrome yellow. Drivers failing to stop for a school bus can be fined

A 55-Alive safe driving course for seniors will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 8 at the Community Care office in Picton from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The Canada Safety Council developed this mature driver retraining program and it’s designed specifically to help older drivers improve their driving skills.

mer." Something some might not realize is that each year, Emlaw tries to add a few different types of tomatoes to the harvest. This year, one of the new entries was the Indigo Apple, which is similar to the Indigo Rose she was already growing. Typically, the tomato has really dark black colouring at the top and bright red at the bottom. It has a sweet flavour. "I like adding each year," Emlaw said. She researches for different varieties, looks at photos, and takes part in the Seeds of Diversity exchange with other Canadian growers. Emlaw said cool conditions and a late frost didn't affect her growing season this year as most of her plantings

Conde makes his product there, then imports it here to bottle. He sold out at the festival. "Our primary market has really been Toronto, but I'm trying to do more out here," he said. Conde said Emlaw convinced him to make what he could and bring it out to sell. He sold a pesto sauce and also offered some dried apple snacks that he hoped to market to families heading back to school. He said the show was an example of the community he's come to enjoy in his new

The number of tomatoes available for tasting and purchase is not the only thing that has grown over the years. More and more of Emlaw's friends have signed on as vendors, offering their own products and services at the show. Products available this year included traditional Portuguese donuts, woodfired pizza, honey, arranged flowers, pickles and preserves, and even the Prince Edward Learning Centre's popcorn. Joaquim Conde joined that group of exhibitors this year. Conde moved to South Marysburgh from Toronto in

home. "This is a good place to work. It's infectious. The people here are very creative. They're making cool stuff and it inspires you. This is a good place to experiment," he said. Guests also seem to enjoy visiting to see the various offerings. Shauna Castle said she and her husband have been making the trek from Ottawa with their children for each of the past 12 years. "My husband makes tomato sauces, he's tomato crazy," said Castle. She added the show has really grown since they first starting visiting. Raija and John Byers, of Kingston, made their way to the farm for the first time Saturday. Normally, John said, they anchor their boat near Morrison Point and friends told them about Vicki and her tomatoes. Raija indicated she was impressed by the event. "It's lovely. The people are very helpful and there's great food. It's nice to celebrate the harvest," she said. "Also, I didn't realize there were so many kinds of tomatoes." Picking through, they identified favourite types. They also got another taste test by trying heirloom tomato salads on flatbread. John said he liked the varieties with less acid (normally the lighter tomatoes). Reija was less discerning. "I like them all," she concluded.

REGENT THEATRE MEMBERSHIP CAMPAIGN UNDERWAY

The Regent Theatre Foundation’s annual Membership Campaign is underway, and the foundation needs your support. Many County residents are proud to have a historical, independent, multi-purpose venue in Picton. It has been a landmark on Main St. for nearly one hundred years, but there’s a lot about The Regent that is still not well-known. The Regent Theatre Foundation is a not-for-profit, volunteer-based organization. It owns and operates The Regent as a venue for arts, cultural, and community events. The support of the community helped The Regent survive its first 80 years. Today, it’s the commitment of community volunteers and a few hardworking staff that have ensured the vitality of The Regent in the face of many challenges in the entertainment business. The annual Membership Campaign is key for The Regent. Membership in the foundation supports The Regent’s

www.pictongazette.com

ongoing programming, as well as the continued existence of this community institution. Only an independent theatre like The Regent can present the variety of programming that reflects the diversity of our community. And it’s important to remember that the business spin-offs from The Regent provide an annual benefit in excess of $3-million in sales to County businesses such as restaurants, shops and accommodations, which in turn provides jobs in all sectors of our economy. Ticket sales cover about 2/3 of The Regent’s annual operating expenses, and community support is how we make up the difference. (The Regent is generously helped by the municipality, but is not eligible for federal or provincial arts grants to offset operating expenses.) If you value the presence of The Regent in our community, please consider joining us. There are several levels of membership. You can learn about them and the benefits of each by going to: http://www.theregenttheatre.org/membership-form/. You can also join online. If you are already a member, thank you. There is an additional way you can show support for The Regent. As it stands, about 2.5% of the residents of the County are members of the foundation. We’re trying to meet the challenge of communicating with the other 97.5%. If the opportunity presents itself, please tell your friends and neighbours about The Regent. Help us spread the word. The Regent is not only a venue for lots of great entertainment - it’s also an emblem of the fact that our community is unique, lively, and a great place to live and do business. Membership is for everybody who supports this vision of the County.

The Picton Gazette

Werden represented area in parliament, likely met Macdonald in legal system HOME, from page 3

Those facts came from Pioneer Life on the Bay of Quinte, a treasured possession that really got Claude started on his family genealogy. “I was in Picton one day on my way to Ottawa when the kids were young. We stayed at the old Merrill Inn,” he recalled. “I went down to the book store and said ‘Do you have any books on the Werden family?’ He showed me this book. I paid

$100 for it. It was the last copy they had and it was out of print. That’s what got met started going.” He also read the first printing of The Settler’s Dream and asked for directions to Asa Werden’s home. Claude continued his story that Asa was a poor shoemaker who had little chance of opportunity in Connecticut. He knew, however, that his grandfather had purchased land near Gaspe, Que. earlier in life.

It is believed Asa came w in search of that property, only to find it had been reclaimed. Claude didn’t know exactly what brought him west, but expected he might have heard there was opportunity or land here. “Asa must have been a very astute man,” Claude said. “As a young man, he was broke. He had nothing. When he died, his estate was valued at a quarter of a million bucks. That was big, big money then.”

Most of that wealth came from land. Werden didn’t qualify to be given land because he was American, but he bought that original homestead and just kept acquiring land. “Land seemed to be his big thing. He left acres and acres and acres to each of his children,” he said. “They said he could walk to Picton on his own land. He left in his will a whole farm and a house for each of his children.” Werden had 14 children, though two died before him, and some of those houses he built are still standing in the area known as Woodrous. Some of the families his daughters married into are still in the county today. Perhaps, Claude said, the land was part of the intrigue

for him as he was a real estate agent himself. Werden became very prosperous operating a sawmill, but he wasn’t simply a miser. Instead, he was said to be a community minded and generous man who served in several ways. He was a Member of Parliament for the area from 1831 to 1835 and served as the court magistrate. He was also a pewholder in the Anglican Church and a member of the county’s first school board. “He certainly would have associated with John A. Macdonald and that’s a big thing here,” said Claude. “He must have known John A. because he practiced law here. It is not conceivable a

magistrate would not have known one of the local lawyers.” Werden also likely knew Macdonald because of his many land deals and might have connected with him while the first prime minister was a secretary of the school board. Claude said knowing the house is still standing keeps the bond he feels with his ancestry real. He added the visit did not disappoint. “I was very interested in what they did for the restoration , he said. “It shows (Porritt and Purdy) have great respect for the people who lived here. We came for that experience of living here and I love it,” he said. Verda said she could vividly imagine what life would have been like for the generations living in the home. “You have the original floors through most of the house. I love to think that they walked on these floors,” she said. “The bannister is smooth as silk to touch, warn smooth by those 14 kids.” Porritt kept a couch and a desk that stayed in the house through several generations. Claude said down at the desk, which is thought to be Asa’s and said “I feel at home.” According to Purdy, other Werdens have also visited Marshlands in an attempt to learn more about the family.

The Milford Fair

Milford Fair, re-established after World War II, is a real expression of ‘rural roots’. There’s nothing fancy about it: we work hard at keeping it old-fashioned, while adding a few new things every year. It’s lots of fun, and the volunteers who put it together invite your readers to “come to the fair”. The Fair theme this year is a celebration of the 30th anniversary of the Marysburgh Mummers, a thriving local amateur theatre group. Over the years there have been hundreds of volunteers involved front-stage and back, and the Mummers are still going strong, mounting several productions each year, as well as developing future thespians by way of offering acting classes.

Rednersville Road exhibitors able to show wide range of their artistic work in tour setting TOUR, from page 2

MULTIMEDIA DISPLAY Oil painter Linda Phipps Nicoll, left, and silk painter Jeff Keary show off their work during at Active Arts Studio as part of the eighth annual Rednersville Road Art Tour last weekend. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

Ultimately, Rednersville felt like the perfect fit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My objective was to buy a space I could use as an art studio and gallery and this is where we ended up,â&#x20AC;? he said. While he said he usually works upstairs in the balcony, Keary was set up to paint on the main floor of the church. He said that area, which now features a fireplace and couches where pews once were is normally his living room. Keary was showing off his work painting silks as he sat at a table and worked on a piece. He noted he learned about the art form while on vacation in Greece in the early 2000s.

He explained artists simply stretch the silk until it is taut and work on it like it is a canvas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The idea was to create wearable art â&#x20AC;&#x201D; something that stands up artistically that people are also willing to wear,â&#x20AC;? he said. Keary indicated he is inspired by patterns and lines like those created by seismographs, musical waves, and even hospital instruments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My son collapsed once and was hooked up to a heart monitor,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I looked at it and said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Lovely line, fantastic line.â&#x20AC;? He also finds inspiration in nature from items like bark. Kearyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s colour patterns are

Wellington earns win, loss in high-scoring road games Dukes bounces back to beat Flyers 10-5 after 8-2 loss to Hawks opening night JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER

There was no shortage of red light specials for the Wellington Dukes this weekend as the club split a pair of goal-filled road games to open the 20152016 OJHL regular season.. A night after taking it on the chin 8-2 to the host Trenton Golden Hawks in the season opener Friday, the Dukes put a damper on the Orangeville Flyers home opener Saturday night, building a 10-0 lead through nearly two periods before the hosts clawed back for a handful of goals to make the score somewhat respectable at 10-5. The games mirrored what observers expected of the Wellington team this season — a young, fast squad that will roll on big momentum shifts but will also get caught puck watching for periods of time that could lead to disaster. In Trenton, Wellington worked without several key players but outplayed the hosts for stretches of time and were very close to knotting the score in the second, only to see the game slip away quickly. Some bad play in their own end cost them and Wellington stopped skating in the third period as the hosts poured on the offence. In Orangeville, the Dukes could do no wrong in the first forty minutes as Luc Brown's hat trick was just 30 per cent of Wellington's offensive onslaught. But Wellington stopped forcing the issue in the final stanza and only the clock saved the Dukes from making a laugher into a serious game. “Our first half of each game was decidely better and that's a concern we need to address,” Dukes coach and general manager Marty Abrams said. “Some of it might be our inexperience but the message is loud and clear that we need to play 60 minutes and if we didn't hear it on Friday night, we did on Satur-

UNDER FIRE Trenton’s Mac Lewis misses out on a scoring chance as Wellington Duke Netminder Austin Washkurak and defenceman Jacob Hetherington clear the front of the net during the Golden Hawks 8-2 win Friday night.

day.” Friday's game seem to hinge on a sequence in the second. Down 4-1, Ben Sokay jammed home his first of the year on the power play to cut the Trenton lead in half at the 11:52 mark. The Dukes had been buzzing the Golden Hawk net prior and they made Daniel Urbani come up with some good saves. If Wellington had managed to close to within one at that point or even kept the score at 4-2 through two periods, the Dukes might have had something for Trenton in the third. But an untimely Wellington penalty at the end of the middle stanza allowed Golden Hawk Kevin Lavoie a chance to cash in his second of three goals and dashed the hopes of a potential Welling-

ton comeback. Up 5-2 in the third, the veteran-laden Golden Hawks didn't spare the whip and added three more to win the game going away. Just 24 hours later, the Dukes were again subjected to home opening exercises this time in Orangeville but the locals landed on the score sheet early and often. Nick Devito, Brown, Shaw Boomhower, Brodie Maracle and Sokay all lit the lamp as Wellington torched the Flyers for three special teams goals (two power-play markers and a shorthanded effort). In the second, it was more of the same. Brown completed his hat trick and Sokay added another goal while vets Jake Falcao and Griffin McCarty added their first tallies. But somewhere between Falcao scoring in the 16th

minute and James Ranson of Orangeville finally solving Dukes netminder Anthony Popovich in his first OJHL start, the locals must have figured that double digits was going to be enough on this night. The Dukes' players turned out to be right, but the third was an ugly period for the visitors as the Flyers turned to the tables and potted four unanswered against a team that must have been thinking about warm showers and a bus ride back to Prince Edward County before the start of the final frame. “Orangeville came out a different hockey club and we didn't respond accordingly,” Abrams said of Saturday night's game. “We took some bad penalties and got back on our heels. The good news is we get out with two points and we hopefully learn from it.”

Tough penalties seem to be a sudden bad habit for Wellington, a franchise that has a proven track record of not taking many minors over the course of a season. Abrams believes that good discipline comes with experience and the Dukes' rash of penalties in the opening weekend come from overzealous play in the offensive zone, “We've been over aggressive with the stick in the attacking end and this team cannot be sitting in the penalty box. We simply don't have the personnel to kill penalties all game, it will wear us down,” he added. Wellington will get a double dose of Cougars this weekend, taking on the Burlington variety on Saturday night before heading to Cobourg on Monday. Wellington's home opener

won't be until Friday, Sept. 18 when they host Kingston as part the back half of a homeand-home series. ‘Round the 'Roc: Wellington's first goal of the season came off the stick of Empire Junior C grad Dorian Overland Friday night in the first period. The rookie had three points this weekend...Brown made up for lost time after sitting out Friday night thanks to suspension, adding a pair of helpers for a handful of points in his first action of the season...Trenton has Lucas Brown and Wellington has Luc Brown. Good luck to broadcasters of games involving those teams this season...Down in numbers, the Dukes called up county native Will Harrison of the Picton Pirates and Napanee Raider blueliner Ryley Richardson to fill the lineup.

Pirates get a look at team in pair of exhibition losses to Lakefield Converted defenceman Eaton shows scoring touch, Panetta earns lone 16-year-old card CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

Hard work will have to be a hallmark of the Pirates this season. That was the message from coach Chris Masterson as Picton continued their preseason last week, falling to the Lakefield Chiefs in a home-and-home series. Last Thursday in Ennismore, the Pirates fell 4–3 to the Chiefs. The team was then downed by a margin of 7–4 in Wellington on Saturday. “The biggest thing so far is they're a hardworking group,” said Masterson. “Obviously, we're quite young, but I've seen some

good things in terms of work ethic for sure.” Picton was outshot by the Chiefs by a margin of 31–23 in last Thursday's contest, with four different Lakefield skaters scoring. Tye Eaton was the lone Picton scorer, recording a hat trick in the losing effort. Brendan Sampson, Nick Hildenbrand, Matthew Tarbutt, and Kyle Nelson scored for Lakefield. Masterson said one of the issues from the past week has been a lack of bodies. Just 14 skaters took the ice in Ennismore and the team lost another skater following a fight partway through the contest. Tied entering the third period, the Chiefs came back

Masterson said with the lack of bodies up front, defenceman Eaton was asked to take on a new role. Eaton appears to have opened some eyes with his hat-trick performance at forward. “He scored three goals for us, so that's got us thinking we're going to move Tye to forward and hoping to fill his spot on defence,” said Masterson. On Saturday, Lakefield came out hard again with Aaron Vatcher scoring four points with a pair of goals, Hull scoring a pair, KEEPING IT OUT Picton Pirates goaltender Dustin Myskiw Dalton and Colton Armstrong, stops a shot from Lakefield’s Nick Hildenbrand during a road exhi- Thomas Hoggarth, and Conbition game last Thursday.

Masterson said the players have looked ready to work so far. “Overall no one player is standing out, but we're very happy with the work ethic of the whole group,” he said. He said the club has made its choice on its 16year-old card. The Pirates have signed defenceman Matthew Panetta who played AAA hockey with the Quinte Red Devils, and played the last two seasons for the AA Minor Midget Bellville Junior Bulls.

Fresh bouquets full of unusual late-summer blooms captures attention at Pilates class

ATTRACTIVE FLOWERS The white nettle-leaved mullein

generally has flowers in bloom from June through to September The flowers run up the stalk and are slightly larger than those found on the common mullein. (Submitted photo)

Even after all this time, I continue, to be surprised as to where the ideas for the various columns come from. This latest column originated with the bouquets on display at my Pilates classes. The bouquets, brought in by one of the class members, are works of art in themselves. However the unusual flowers in two of the bouquets caught everyone’s interest. The first was a vivid purple-blue flower with multiple layers of petals almost 12 cm across and a darker center. While it looked similar to a poppy it was clearly not. Neither did I think it was an anemone because of its size, as the flower was larger than the Japanese anemones that I grow — however I was clearly wrong. While the botanical name is Anemone coronaria, its common name is poppy anemone. They have showy single flowers in white, blue

or pink and certainly the two single blooms on display were very striking. The plant is said to be about half the height of the Japonica variations, about 30 to 45 cm. They prefer light sandy soil in full sun. They do best

if the soil is dryer after blooming. While they are said to generally bloom in the spring, these are clearly flourishing in the late summer and in the shade according to the gardener. The other unusual bloom, in one of these bouquets, was a Verbascium chaixii ‘Album’ otherwise known as white nettleleaved mullein. A wild flower called the common mullein is a familiar sight in the county with its large flannel-like leaves and towering flower stalks a metre and a half or more in height, decorated with a few outward facing small yellow flowers. This plant had a much shorter flower stalk, less than a metre in height. From June right into September it always has a number of flowers in bloom gradually inching their way up the stalk. The flowers are slightly larger than those

found on the common mullein and are very attractive. They have been compared to delicate tiny white moths with vividly coloured centres due to the colour of the stamen. In this case they were bright red. If these plants are not in the right locale they will act as annuals or at the most biennials. They prefer a dry sunny bank with average soil, which can make them perfect for rock gardens. Their height provides a striking contrast to lower lying succulents. The success of the location is only known if they continue to reappear year after year. Another late summer bloomer is Joe-Pye Weed or Eupatoria fistulosum ‘gateway’. Gateway is a more compact version developed for the home garden, but can still develop to a metre and a half in height.

The Picton Gazette

BLOOMS, from page 22 The wild version grows in marshes and, unlike the first two plants, all versions of Joy Pye Weed do best in moist soils and sun or semi-shade. These plants are very erect with no support and quite at home at the backs of borders. In late summer and early fall they have puffy soft looking dusty rose domed flower heads from late August through October. Supposedly it gets its name from Joe Pye, a Native American healer. They attract to bees and butterflies. I find the profusion of bees and the varied coloured butterflies in my garden ample compensation for the many holes in the leaves and other signs as I use no pesticides of any kind. The fact that there are small marshes on either side of my garden and Lake Ontario at the back limit my exposure to other possible pesticide users as well. One of the major rewards this week was to see only the second of the monarch larva that I have noticed in my garden. This one was happily eating the leaves on my butterfly weed plant. While the monarch butterflies, themselves, seek nectar from a wide variety of flowers, the larvae restrict themselves to our wild milkweed and other plants from the same genus. While this larva, in its fifth instar stage, was spotted on a stem of the plant, it was soon concealed on the underside of the leaf. If you happen to see one, they are easily identifiable with their hairless black body and vivid yellow and white bands. They have what look like sizable black antennae on their head and smaller ones on the tail. While they are not antennae, they are sensors. This specimen was almost 5 cm long with small dots along the bottom edge indicating the last stage (fifth) before pupation (the cocoon stage). In about two weeks a new monarch butterfly will emerge. Most monarch butterflies live from two to sixweeks but those born in late summer will migrate to Mexico and not reproduce until the spring. Nature’s gifts to the attentive gardener are bountiful indeed.

Picton in tournament action tomorrow night in Trenton PIRATES, from page 21

“We decided we needed to make the decision more based on position than anything, so we decided we needed to take a defenceman with that card,” Masterson said, adding that Panetta showed the most commitment to being a Pirate.

“He's a good kid, he'll work extremely hard, so we're happy with that selection,” he said. He said Panetta's skating is a big asset, noting his strong speed and positional game. “Much like his brother, he's an excellent skater and

he's smart positionally.” Picton will hit the ice next on Friday for the Campbellford Rebels' preseason tournament. The Pirates will take on the Rebels at 8:30 p.m. on Friday at RCAF Arena in Trenton. “I want to continue the hard work, I want to really

preach defensive responsibility,” said Masterson. “Since we're a younger team — and not having a full roster at this point, although we're working toward it — the biggest thing I'm preaching is that everything we get is going to have to be through hard work and

through attention to detail.” Masterson said the team has held a couple of practices and he has begun to start implementing some forecheck and defensive systems. He said he'll be watching for players to begin to grasp those concepts this weekend.

Marjorie Brzoza-Czempinski (nee Huskisson)

passed away peacefully at Roseview Manor, Thunder Bay, Ontario on Tuesday May 16, 2015 at 93 years of age, with her daughter by her side. Formerly of Iroquois Falls, ON, Marjorie (Madge) moved to Thunder Bay in 2009 to be closer to family. Madge was born in Leverton, Lincolnshire County, England on February 18, 1922 and was the eldest of Frank and Edith Huskissonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three children. The Huskisson family immigrated to Canada in 1929 and lived in Saskatchewan briefly before settling in Ontario to farm in Prince Edward County. Although Madge lived in Northern Ontario most of her adult life, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; was always near to her heart. Madge completed high school in Picton and attended teacher training at Norwood, ON. With an enthusiasm for history and English literature, Madge studied at Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s University (BA, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;50). It was at Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that Madge became a varsity athlete in archery, and met Andy, WWII veteran of the Polish Army, and university student who became the love of her life. Madge and Andy married in 1951 and together shared 46 years of marriage until Andyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passing in 1998. Both before and after her university days Madge was an elementary and secondary school teacher. An extremely intelligent woman and an independent thinker; Madge had many interests and informed herself thoroughly on each. She was a dedicated gardener, an avid reader and book club member, an excellent hostess, an outstanding cook and a keen stamp collector. Prior to retirement, Madge and Andy with the help of several close friends built their â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;A frameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cottage on Watabeag Lake where they spent many pleasant times throughout the years. Madge always enjoyed visiting her grand- daughters and followed their many activities. She had a soft spot for animals and enjoyed her feline rescue companion Josephine. Madge is lovingly remembered and survived by daughter Judy Hall (Grant), grand-daughters Katherine and Jennifer Hall, and nieces Linda Baldwin, Barbara Huizenga, Elizabeth Goldsmith and nephew John Doxsee and their families. Madge is predeceased by her parents, husband Andrew, Dorothy Doxsee (sister), John HuskissonÂ (brother), David Doxsee (nephew) and Dyane Prentice (niece). Arrangements entrusted to the Hicks Funeral Home, 2 Centre Street, Picton, ON.Â Â 613-4765571. A Graveside Service will be held at Sophiasburgh Cemetery on Saturday, September 12, 2015 at 11 am. The Reverend Kirby Briethaupt to officiate. If desired, memorial donations may be made to the Northern Ontario Animal Welfare Society, Box 51, Iroquois Falls, ON, P0K 1E0Â (donations@noaws.com ), or the Salvation Army, 545 Cumberland St. N, Thunder Bay, ON, or a charity of your choice that supports opportunities for youth.

She will be deeply missed by her partner Pam, her mother Lauretta, both their families and a wide community of friends from the county and across the country. Karen spent most of her work life in Toronto in the non-profit sector, always motivating and inspiring others with her compassion, advocacy and intelligence. For over a decade, she was the Executive Director of Crossroads International, an organization advancing the rights of women and girls in Africa and South America. In recognition of her leadership, a fund has been established in her name which will provide vital financial support to African organizations which work to support womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership and equality for women and girls. Donations can be made to the Karen Takacs Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Leadership Fund with Crossroads International: https://www.cintl.org/karentakacsfund. Although she only lived in the county for a few years, she loved being here and she made a mark as a volunteer with the afterschool program Reaching for Rainbows and as a painter, holding her first show in early June. A celebration of Karenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life will take place on Sept. 20th at 1:00 pm in Toronto at the Royal Conservatory, 273 Bloor St, in the Galleria (lower level).

More consultation is on the way for county residents. On Tuesday the municipality announced the launch of two new surveys as the next phase of the Downtown Revitalization Project moves forward. Both a customer origin survey and a resident survey will be available this fall. The customer origin survey will be available for an eight-day period beginning on Sept. 26 and the resident survey from Sept. 8 through to Oct. 8. The Downtown Revitalization Project kicked off on June 8 with downtown revitalization co-ordinator Tom Coke detailing how the project will seek to create five strategic downtown revitalization plans â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one for each of Picton, Bloomfield, Wellington, Consecon and Rossmore. The project will also result in an overarching Prince Edward County downtown revitalization strategy. The customer origin survey will be available to downtown customers for the purpose of identifying a

trade area for each community. A trade area is an area near each community from which the most business is drawn. The survey will be conducted by volunteers at different locations within the five downtown centres. The resident survey is available as of Monday and seeks to gather feedback on the shopping and service options available within the downtown areas. The resident survey can be accessed online at www.surveymonkey.com/r/DowntownRevitalizationResidentSurvey or by contacting revitalization co-ordinator Coke. Hard copies of the survey are also available at Shire Hall or the Picton BIA office in Picton, Wellington Home Hardware and the Wellington library, County Camo in Rossmore, the Consecon library, and the Bloomfield library. All hard copies must be returned to Shire Hall or to the point of pickup in each community by Oct. 8. The data collected through the surveys will be incorporated into each community's revitalization strategic plan, which are anticipated to be completed by Dec. 31, 2016.

Dukes’ Smith moving up to Owen Sound Wellington watching to see if other vets can crack OHL rosters JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER

While the jury was still out on a couple of potential returnees, the Wellington Dukes were notified this weekend that forward Greg Smith had done enough to impress the brass of the Owen Sound Attack and would be suiting up for that Ontario Hockey League club in the 2015-2016 season. Smith came to Wellington last fall after being passed over in the 2014 midget priority draft looking to make a name for himself. In 42 games, the Ajax native only managed a pair of goals and a pair of helpers but left winger's skating and speed were a definite asset to Wellington bench boss Marty Abrams. With the summer to bulk up while developing an explosive stride, Smith came to Wellington camp brimming with confidence and had a pair of goals in three OJHL exhibition games. Taking note, the Attack brought him in as an unsigned free agent and saw enough to offer him a prized

MOVING ON UP Former Wellington Duke Greg Smith tries to

control the puck in the offensive zone during action in 2014-15. The Ajax native signed with the Owen Sound Attack of the Ontario Hockey League.(Jason Parks/Gazette staff) OHL package. “This news sends a message to all the kids coming up through minor hockey that don't get drafted into the OHL that you can still make it,” Abrams said of Smith's signing. “Here's a kid that didn't

get drafted and was disappointed but stuck with the plan, worked hard to get there.” An off-season work out plan was part of the reason Smith was able to impress Owen Sound general manag-

er Dale Degray and coach Ryan McGill. “He trained hard to get stronger and he's going to need to work to stay at the OHL level,” Abrams added. “His speed, skating and puck skills are what got him there and now it's up to him to move up the depth chart. Hats off to him, we wish him all the best.” The team is still waiting to see if defender Brody Morris will stick with the Hamilton Bulldogs and it appears that Oliver Lefreniere will make the Ottawa 67's although there has been no announcement made with regards to the netminder. In other player news, forward Marshall Nikitin was injured in the Soo Greyhounds annual red-and-white inter-squad scrimmage Friday night and could be out for up to three weeks. Chase St. Aubin was injured and was unable to report to Hamilton Bulldogs camp but should be ready to return to the lineup this weekend. Austin Labelle will also be back in the lineup this weekend after sustaining a shoulder injury in the first period of Wellington's first preseason game back on Aug. 23. Defenceman Liam Hunter is out long term, according to Abrams, with an injury.

Defending league champions Whitepine Watershed and the Roblin Family Plumbing Copperheads are through to the winners’ side of the Prince Edward County Men's Fastball League playoff bracket thanks to decisive wins in Tyendinaga Tuesday evening. Whitepine's Jamie Thompson mashed a threerun homer as his number one seeded squad smoothed the Terra Vista Rockies 6-1. Also in late action Tuesday night, the Snakes waited until the top of the seventh inning to rip the lid of their game against Beatty Seeds. Down 3-2 heading into their final at bat, Roblin's would send eight across to build a 10-3 lead. Al Wright got things started for the Copperheads with a single and then Tyler Kerr blasted an inside-thepark home run to deep centre field to put Roblin's ahead to stay. The shocked Huskers couldn't stop the bleeding as the Copperheads batted around their order. Beatty Seeds went down without a whimper in the bottom half of the seventh. In the early game, the Rockies took on Danford Contracting of Frankford. After Barry Danford came across to build a 1-0

lead through the top of the first, Terra Vista got all the offence they would need in the bottom half of the inning. Gary Henniger led off with a single and later scored along with Trevor Jones on a Brad Lynd single. Later in the frame Chris Terpstra made up for a throwing gaffe in the top of the inning with an RBI triple to centre field. Danford's would plate another run midway through the contest but Jones was effective from the slab, striking out seven. The double-elimination playdowns continue tonight

on Tyendinaga as Beatty Seeds and Frankford hook up in the first elimination game of 2015. The first pitch is at 7 p.m and the winner goes on to play Terra Vista at 8:30 p.m. In another elimination contest. In the winners’ bracket, the Copperheads and Whitepine play off at 8:30 p.m.for a direct berth in the final. The loser of that late game takes on the winner coming out of the Terra Vista/Frankford/Beatty Seeds playdown on Tuesday night at 7 p.m. Once again on Tyendinaga.

Charges laid following fatal crash on Hwy 62

Police have charged an Odessa man with impaired driving causing death and failure to stop at the scene of an accident following a fatal collision early Sunday morning. Prince Edward OPP responded to the intersection between Hwy 62 and Oram Road at about 3:30 a.m. There, Shawn Way, 44, of Alliston died at the scene of a two-vehicle collision. The driver of the other vehicle was taken to hospital. Ronald Scott, 33, was later charged and released from police custody on a promise to appear in Picton court on Oct. 21.

MORE CHARGES

The OPP says it laid more charges this Labour Day long weekend than last year for unsafe driving on the province’s roads.

There were 5,494 speeding charges, compared to 4,974 last year. There were 77 racing charges laid, compared to 67. Some 464 people were issued tickets for seatbelt infractions this year, up five from last year, and there were 96 impaired driving charges, up from 91 in

Cou The

2014. Distracted driving charges were down by 38 per cent, however, some 407 charges were laid. Four fatalities were also reported on Ontario roads. Alcohol was a factor in each collision leading to a death.

Consider moisture issues when choosing insulation By Scott McGillivray We insulate our homes primarily to keep them warm in the winter and cool in the summer. As a result, most of us evaluate insulation based on its thermal properties, which is definitely important to consider. However, there is another aspect of wall and ceiling insulation that should be considered before making a final decision, and that’s moisture. If you choose the wrong insulation, moisture can seriously damage the long-term performance of the insulation, drastically reducing the benefits it offers to your home. Although wall and ceiling cavities may be out of sight

after a home is built, they are very important spaces in residential construction and remodeling projects. They play a critical role in managing the interior temperature, noise level, air-flow and mold levels. It is important that the insulation in the walls and ceilings works just as well years after installation as it does the day after the project is completed. This means that the insulation needs to stay consistent over time –– any sagging, compressing or rotting will compromise the safety and comfort of your home. To combat these potential problems, look for insulation that does not absorb water, but repels it. Stone wool insula-

tion, like that produced by Roxul, is a good choice. Waterresistance is important yearround, but especially in summer, when humidity levels rise, and in spring and fall, when rain and moisture levels can increase dramatically. It’s vital that your insulation won’t compress or sag within the wall or ceiling cavity, because when insulation materials compress and sag, they leave gaps, compromising the thermal performance of the wall. Cold, heat and sound can pass through much more easily, creating a living space that’s less comfortable and more expensive to heat and cool. Another important consid-

eration when choosing insulation is mold resistance. Materials that resist mold growth, like stone wool, are essential to the health of your home and family. Because mold feeds on organic matter, selecting an insulation that is composed of nonorganic matter is ideal to prevent rot. Keeping moisture and mold at bay with a quality insulation will contribute to a safer indoor environment and provide energy savings and com-

fort benefits that can last for the lifetime of a home. Scott McGillivray is the award-winning TV host, a fulltime real estate investor, contractor, author, and educator. Follow him on Twitter @smcgillivray. - MCC
