It was miles and miles of smiles this weekend at the 179th edition of the Picton County Fair. Everywhere you looked there were happy kids, bemused adults, cheery vendors and satisfied exhibitors. But perhaps nowhere were the smiles bigger than in the Picton Fair office where the Prince Edward Agricultural Society Members and volunteers opened, ran and closed a successful County tradition. Society president Larry Lounsberry was on the fair grounds Monday afternoon where the thankless task of cleaning up after thousands of fair-goers was underway in the bright sunshine. Lounsberry said it was another great Picton Fair with attendance up over the previous year's edition. “It was very, very good this year,” Lounsberry said. Lounsberry reported that attendance was down slightly on Friday and Sun-

day but a fantastic Saturday more than made up for either day and helped boost attendance past last year's numbers. “Despite some early rain it turned into an awesome day weather wise and people were looking to come to the fair,” He added. The midway was busy with families and amateur thrill seekers while the livestock shows seemed to be constantly turning over at the cattle pavilion. And it wasn't just led or ridden livestock that entertained.

“Mr. Ed's livestock barn was the busiest its ever been,” the president said. Some of the biggest laughs came Saturday night as World Championship Wrestling action in the squared circle drew a near capacity crowd. “What can you say other than Picton loves its wrestling,” Lounsberry said with a laugh. “I had one woman pull me aside and said she never had so much fun in her whole life.” Next mark's the 180 anniversary of the Picton Fair and Lounsberry said the Ag. Society board does-

n't have any concrete plans in terms of recognizing this significant milestone. “We haven't got anything major planned but we are looking for suggestions and we are always looking for volunteers,” he said. One certainty of next year's fair is that longtime Board Member Howard Martin won't be filling an official role. Lounsberry confirmed that after 28 years, the Ag. Society’s secretary/treasurer would be stepping down this December. “Howard has been a mainstay and many times in the past three decades, he's been the glue that's helped hold the fair together,” Lounsberry said. The president recalled a time in the past decade or so when some internal turmoil and a sudden board changeover left the Fair hanging in the balance. “He was the only one left,” Lounsberry said. “Without him, the fair would have died and I truly believe that.” It would be hard to imagine Martin not being a part of the Picton Fair in one way or another and Lounsberry admitted Martin will likely stay involved in some way at some level.

The John Pepper Downes house on Walton Street did not sell at auction Monday, however auctioneer Boyd Sullivan remains optimistic that a deal could be made in the near future. "Nothing did happen (Monday), but we do have some parties interested," Sullivan told the Gazette. "I'm hopeful we will have information on that by the end of the week." The house, built in 1858 by former county court clerk Capt. John Pepper Downes was listed with a reserve bid of $350,000. According to its auction listing, the building had a recently restored second floor and its utilities were updated with electrical and boiler heating updates. The main floor, which has four substantial floors with 10foot ceilings and fireplaces, was noted to be "in need of attention." The property was listed by the Prince Edward County heritage advisory committee as one with significance as part of the heritage properties inventory list. That listing, however, doesn't mean the property cannot be significantly renovated or even demolished in the future. The County's chief building official Andy Harrison explained there is a difference between houses like the Downes house, which are listed, and those which are designated as protected properties under the Ontario Heritage Act. Usually, property owners can apply for their property to be designated, but under the listing process, the heritage advisory committee also has a say. "With a designated property, a bylaw is put in place that has been passed by council," he said. "(The committee) has done up a list of significant properties that haven't been designated that they can apply to council to have reviewed."

Property listed as historically significant, but not given heritage designation

HERITAGE, from page 1

Harrison explained that if a buyer wanted to demolish the property — and with its prime positioning behind the Bank of Montreal and adjacent to the Sobeys plaza, the commercially designated site could be a sought-after spot for a parking lot or a new building —they would have to apply to his office for a permit. Within 60 days of receipt, the heritage advisory committee or any single individual could ask coun-

cil to consider designating the property. Councillors would decide if the house should be protected under law. "Council could decide to designate it or not, and that is appealable (to the Ontario Municipal Board)," Harrison said. While Sullivan acknowledged the listing, he said he didn't see it as the major issue that might have deterred potential buyers from acquiring the property. He indicated the structural condition of the home might have been a bigger

impediment, regardless of a buyer's intentions for the property. "The biggest difficulty is the unknown," he said. "How much work is going to be required to bring the property back?" Sullivan said buyers are going to have to bring in their own engineers and contractors to assess the structure and provide recommendations on how to move forward with their plans for the site. "You can't put a value on that. They all bring different skill sets and visions." He said the price point of $350,000 the building's owners, the Minaker family, were seeking might have been too high given the many variables involved with the property. Complicating matters at the auction was the death of Paul Minaker to cancer Saturday at age 55. Boyd indicated out of respect, he'd wait until after the weekend to approach his widow Marilyn and her family about potential offers. Historian Peter Lockyer said he understood Minaker's dream was to see the whimsical cottage-style home restored and he is hopeful that someone will approach the family with a plan to do just that. He indicated there aren't many homes like the Downes house left in Picton and fears that it might end up like the yard in front of it facing Main Street. It was converted into a car lot prior to the bank being

built there. That said, he knows it is likely to be a long shot. "Someone would have to have deep pockets to take it on," he said, adding "If the community had a will, they could do something there to adapt the building and find a new use." Lockyer said he'd be interested in seeing a public-private partnership since there doesn't seem to be the will for the munici-

pality to take on another aging building. He also indicated it may be time to look at creative ways to encourage preservation before more heritage properties go on the block. He offered a sobering reminder that past decisions where heritage has been forgotten haven't necessarily turned out as expected. Despite the abrupt demolition of the 135-year-old red brick Pen-

tecostal church on Main Street in 2010 and the removal of an entire block of buildings across the street for a proposed Shoppers Drug Mart around the same time, those sites remain vacant, weedy lots. What was lost can never be brought back, Lockyer concluded. Now, he will wait to see if the Downes house becomes an exception to that trend or just another anecdote.

Artist of the year a newcomer to county Pyman Varangu moved to municipality because of art community and local landscapes Jason Parks

Staff writer

In the 50 years of the Essroc Artist of the Year Program, there have been plenty of well-established Prince Edward County artists to take home the coveted award. But in its 50th year of existence, a newcomer in terms of experience and establishment, is the 2014 winner. Andrea Pyman Varangu made the first public exhibition of her work a memorable one, winning the Artist of the Year title with her soft pastel effort “Canola Field on Belleville Road.” Having settled in Prince Edward County just 18 months ago from Carlisle, Ontario, Pyman Varangu said both the natural beauty of the island community and its wide variety of artists have helped her settle here. “I moved to the county

in part because there's such a great art community here but also because there is such beautiful landscapes here,” Pyman Varangu said. The 179th Prince Edward County Fair was here first public exhibition and she mentioned the award winning entry almost didn't happen. “I had to be encouraged a bit by my friend Laurie McRae,” the self taught painter said, adding she was thrilled when received word she was 2014's top artist. Dan Wight of Essroc is taking over the co-ordination of the program from the retiring Jim Dunlop and said the company believes in the talents of this community. “Essorc and the predecessor companies have always believed in art, artists and developing people's skills and abilities. It's what we do at work and in

terms of people and we are very proud to have been doing this for 50 years,” he said. First runner up in 2014

was Kathleen Hobson while Susan Hughes had the third place entry. Codie Goodman was the program's top sculptor.

Unicyclist riding to spur action on climate change B.C. native Boutilier visits Picton as part of 5,000-kilometre trek toward Parliament Hill Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

With his journey of more than 5,000 km nearing its end, Joseph Boutilier is hoping his trek will inspire positive action on climate change. While cross-country travels aren't particularly unique these day, there is one thing setting Boutilier apart â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he's making the entire 5,000-kilometre journey on a unicycle. Boutilier left Victoria, British Columbia in April on his way to Ottawa, where he intends to roll up on Parliament Hill and demand to make climate change a priority in the 2015 federal election. His trek is scheduled to wrap up on Sept. 15, just in time for the commencement of the fall session of Parliament. Boutilier was in Picton on Sept. 4 where he spoke with the Gazette. The 24-year-old Victoria native said climate change has always been a concern for him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canada backed out of the Kyoto Protocol and became the first and only nation to do so,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We've got hundreds of millions of dollars in environmental programs and agencies, we've really gone from being a leader on climate action to obstructing international progress.â&#x20AC;? He said promises have been made to end subsidies and tax breaks for fossil fuel companies, and to add more regulations on the Alberta oil sands, but so far there hasn't been any progress.

60th Anniversary

â&#x20AC;&#x153;These things are not happening and won't happen until the public pressure is there,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I figured what better time than on the cusp of the election.â&#x20AC;? Once he decided to make

the ride, Boutilier was faced with another challenge. With so many others riding across the country for various initiatives, how would he draw attention to the cause? Enter the unicycle.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The climate change cause is such a sobering topic â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it's hard to talk about and there's a lot of doom and gloom,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A unicycle is something a little more quirky and interesting and accessible, and it's a good way to start talking to folks who I wouldn't get to otherwise.â&#x20AC;? Secondly, he said it was a unique challenge; he'd only taken up unicycling a few months before his trek was to begin. He said the journey has been very positive, noting both the beauty and challenge of travelling through the Cascade and Rocky Mountains, and the effort to cross the windswept prairies. Boutilier's campaign is called Unity for the Climate as he believes it will take a united approach on behalf of the country's political parties to make headway on the issue. His location can be tracked live on his web site www.unityfortheclimate.ca and visitors can read blog updates and follow Boutilier on Twitter â&#x20AC;&#x201D; @josephboutilier â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and Facebook. He said some supporters have taken to riding bicycles along with him for short legs of the journey, and the power of social media has been integral to spreading his message. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People have been really receptive and great and traffic has been respectful,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the most part, it's gone as good as I could hope.â&#x20AC;? Once he reaches Parliament Hill, Boutilier said there will be a short rally, and he hopes to meet with representatives from each party. He said he's also hopeful he'll get the chance to speak to federal environment minister Leona Aglukkaq.

DICK AND SHIRLEY (McCutcheon) WHITE from Milford, will be celebrating their 60th Wedding AnniversaryÂ on September 11, 2014. Â Shirley and Dick were married in Weston, Ontario and lived in Toronto and Sudbury until they moved to Milford when Dick retired from Weston Collegiate as a Department Head. They have both loved their retirement years living in Milford with Dick enjoying golf and Shirley a fabulous quilter. Their children Peter and (the late) Tim White joined their parents in Prince Edward County as well. Their family wishes them love and best wishes for a wonderful day.

County landmarks will be among those featured in this weekend's Doors Open Bay of Quinte event. Promoted by the Ontario Heritage Trust, the Doors Open initiative takes place in communities across the province each year between April and October. Doors Open Bay of Quinte will be held this Saturday, Sept. 13 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and features 21 properties â&#x20AC;&#x201D; eight of which are in Prince Edward County. The event is free of charge and visitors are invited to tour each of the locations. The province-wide theme this year is the centenary of the First World War. A release from the municipality says the event will recognize the

PASSING ALONG SAVINGS TO YOU!

milestone accordingly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because of the monumental theme, a regional approach was adopted with the Museums of Prince Edward County working in partnership with Quinte West and the City of Belleville,â&#x20AC;? the release says. The participating Prince Edward County sites are the Victoria Cross Library at the Marilyn Adams Genealogical Research Centre in Ameliasburgh, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Quakers & the Great Warâ&#x20AC;? exhibit at the Wellington Heritage Museum, the Memorial Gates at Wellington Park, the Wellington Town Hall â&#x20AC;&#x153;poppy gallery,â&#x20AC;? the Picton cenotaph, the Jim Pilkington Museum at the Picton Legion, the old Boys Memorial Entrance at the Picton fairgrounds, and the former Camp Picton at the LochSloy Business Park. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each County site has a special connection to the First World War or to military service in general,â&#x20AC;? the

release says. The release says a number of artists have come together to create specially themed works to show in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;poppy galleryâ&#x20AC;? at Wellington Town Hall. Among those who contributed are MilĂŠ Murtanovski, Margaret McFetridge, Marion Casson, Sam Sakr, Joanna McFarland, Florence Chik-Lau, Eduarda Sousa, and Rilla Giles. A special kick-off event will take place this Friday, Sept. 12 at the Trenton High School auditorium with a screening of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Carry On, Sergeant!â&#x20AC;? a 1928 silent movie that was shot at the former Trenton Studios which resided on what is now known as Film Street. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and admission is $8 per person. The film is considered to be one of the biggest budget Canadian feature length movies of the time. Live music from Ottawa band Hilotrons will accompany the screening.

Golf tournament to honour late OPP officer Bennett was avid athlete, dedicated coach while working at Prince Edward detachment Jason Parks

Staff writer

A late OPP Staff Sgt. that spent a significant amount of time with the Prince Edward Detachment will be remembered with a luncheon and an afternoon of golf Saturday, Sept. 20. Brent Bennett started his policing career with the Prince Edward OPP in the late 1980s and served nearly 16 years before moving on to the Geraldton detachment in 2001. Bennett was most recently the detachment commander in Red Lake, Ontario when he died suddenly this past spring. Co-organizer of the outing, retired OPP constable Fred Knight said Bennett, 51 at the time of his passing, was less than two years from retirement. Details about Bennett's death are vague other than he went south on vacation this past winter and returned the Northwestern Ontario community feeling ill. He would later develop medical complications and suddenly passed away. “He was involved in a lot of sports when he was working at the Prince Edward Detachment and living on Lake Consecon,” Knight said. “In hockey, he played in the old county league and the Millpond

League.” Bennett coached T-ball and youth soccer, and he and his wife (Diane) helped out with the Wellington figure skating club while he was stationed here. “There's a lot of things Brent did in the community and he crossed paths with a number of people here who would remember him,” Knight added. “He had quite a circle of friends here who he played with in hockey and softball.” The golf outing will take place at the Wellington-onthe-Lake Golf Course with registration to start at 10:30 a.m. And lunch served at 11 a.m. Organizers are hopeful for a 12 p.m. Tee off with a dinner and social hour at the Wellington Legion to follow starting at 5 p.m All monies raised from the event and a silent auction (which includes four platinum Toronto Maple Leafs Tickets for their home game against Chicago Nov. 1/14) will be donated to the Cops & Kids charity as well as the Canadian Tire Jump Start Program. For more information and tickets ($85 for golf and dinner, $25 for dinner only) contact Knight (613-3993249), Terry Greer (613-3992256), Constable Anthony Mann (613-476-2151) or Art Wiersma (613-921-6199).

PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY

Looking back in the

Picton Gazette 90 years ago — 1924

n Ameliasburgh native Genereaux was convicted of having a wash suitable for making spirits without notifying the government, which came with a fine of $200. The man had poured the mixture out his window when he saw an officer approaching. Analysis proved the contents to be a mixture of rye, yellow sugar, and wheat shorts. Following the case, police also charged the man’s son of similar offences. n Prohibition forces in Athol were enthusiastic following a well-attended meeting at town hall. More than 95 per cent of township residents allegedly voted to help keep Ontario dry when the time came for a binding vote. n The Picton public school board put out a tender for the completion of work on the new Kindergarten facility they had secured. The board elected to leave the management of the renovations in the hands of its property committee.

70 years ago — 1944

n Canada was experiencing a shortage in sugar and butter and military personnel were ordered to restrict their use of the products. The supply levels were considered critical and the Prices Board noted that rations might be cut. The shortage was expected to be seasonal. n Members of the Royal Air Force were able to enjoy weekly gatherings at the “fellowship cottage,” a centre where Christian men could meet for wholesome recreation. Padre Guinness came up with the idea and secured a cottage on the bay. The house was decorated with photos of Britain and there was also a fleet of boats available for use by the airmen. n It was a difficult week on the war front as two county residents were believed dead. Pte. Edward Weidmark died from burns suffered in a bombing attack in France, while St. Ross William Lough was presumed dead after his plane went down in a raid over Stuttgart, Germany.

60 years ago — 1954

nDespite being the birthplace of the Hastings-Prince Edward Regiment, Picton was reduced to housing just one platoon after the regiment’s C and D company moved to Port Hope, home of one of the regiments the Hasty P’s absorbed in restructuring efforts. A lack of recruiting in the county was cited by some as the reason for the move. If a recruiting drive was successful, some said an additional company might return to the county. n The Pentecostal Church on Picton’s Main Street replaced its old steeple with a newer, shorter one as part of a major renovation that also included a new entrance, new flooring, and new pews.

20 years ago — 1994

n COPE...Help For the Bereaved, a charitable organization that had operated in the county for five years received funding from Health and Welfare Canada to begin a community-based palliative care support program. The new program was to enhance COPE’s mandate of caring for the grief-stricken. The program was the predecessor to Hospice Prince Edward. n NDP MPP Paul Johnson announced his intention to run again in the provincial election. Johnson was pleased to have played a role in adding a rural affairs mandate to the province’s agriculture ministry.

Napanee white ibis brings back memories

For three days last month, a small creek that runs past the Wal-Mart store in Napanee was the focus of some pretty intense attention. During that time a rare southern white ibis was spending some leisure time there. The southern bird, normally more at home in the brackish marshes of Florida and south Texas, was first seen in flight by Robert Lane of Fish Lake. The bird was seen again on the third day by Jeff Haffner of Napanee at 7:00 a.m., and was photographed some two hours later by Kingston area resident Mike Burrell. Ibises, herons and egrets are much given to post breeding dispersals when individuals, especially the juveniles of the year (this white ibis was a juvenile), begin wandering around extensively, before returning to their home territories. Why the white ibis has been confirmed only six times in Ontario, one of them at famed Prince Edward Point, in 2009, is unclear, as other members of the family turn up regularly in late summer. Fortunately, confirmation of this white ibis did not have to be obtained through the barrel of a shotgun. The accounts of reliable observers, and at least one good photograph, were sufficient. However, it wasn’t always that way in the early years of ornithology. One book I have, dated 1894, treated confirmations differently.

OUTDOOR RAMBLES TERRY SPRAGUE

Reading this book titled, simply, Birds of Ontario by Thomas McIllwraith, gives one an appreciation of advancements in birding equipment, particularly field guides, and how certain practices, common and acceptable back then, have changed. Certainly, by even offering a book on birds, McIllwraith was way ahead of his time. Serious birders back then were few and the hobby was generally regarded as a pursuit favoured by retired teachers, elderly spinsters and school boys on a hike. The book gives the family and genus of each species treated, and detailed descriptions are provided on plumages, eggs, nest, habitat and distribution in the province. Although intended to be a scientific publication,

the author sprinkles the book with personal anecdotes which makes for interesting reading. Perhaps the most radical change reflected in this book is the method by which “material evidence” is collected to support the occurrence of a bird. Even when I started birding back in the early 1960s, there was still some interest in “obtaining” specimens to document the occurrence of rare species. With today’s improved technology in photography, and more experienced birders in the field, we no longer need to obtain a specimen of a bird to prove it actually occurred. Back in McIllwraith’s day, however, the practice was acceptable, and there were not so subtle hints in McIlwraith’s book of the old Jack Minor approach of dividing birds into good and bad. Owls and hawks in particular went through this rigorous evaluation, with Class B listing birds that were beneficial and worthy of protection, Class D, whose evil deeds exceeded the good, and Class C where good deeds balanced the evil. It was interesting to note that because an osprey ate fish, it was unceremoniously, and without question, dumped into Class D. But even more obvious was McIllwraith’s casual reference to the practice of killing birds to provide material evidence. On collecting, he states, “I

would advise them (younger readers) to cultivate the taste, for I know of no pastime so conducive to health, nor one that will afford so much rational enjoyment. An outing in our bracing Canadian air is enjoyable at any season of the year, and the capture of a rare bird is an event productive of feelings which only the enthusiastic collector can understand.” The prize, however, goes to the description of the rare Louisiana waterthush where the author, crossing a deep ravine accented by a rippling brook, describes his feelings upon hearing the rich, liquid notes. “The bird moved about with mincing steps, often turning around with a jerk of the tail, and uttering his characteristic notes with such energy that, for a time, the whole ravine seemed filled with the sound. The recollection of our first meeting has lingered long in my memory, and this particular bird still occupies a prominent place in my collection.” The Napanee white ibis has no idea what its descendants had to go through when they dared to show up in new territory.

Police seize $21,000 worth of marijuana in Wellington

Last Wednesday, police raided a residence on Belleville St. in Wellington to shut down a marijuana grow operation. The raid, executed under a Controlled Drug and Substances Act search warrant netted a quantity of marijuana plants, processed marijuana, cannabis resin, and several firearms. The street value of the drugs was estimated at $21,000. The Prince Edward OPP detachment worked in concert with the Organized Crime Enforcement Bureau

(OCEB), the OPP’s drug enforcement unit, and the OPP canine unit. A 40-year-old Wellington man, was charged with possession of a controlled Schedule II substance, possession for the purposes of trafficking, production of a controlled substance, careless storage of a firearm, and possession of a restricted or prohibited firearm. The accused was later released from police custody on conditions, including a promise to appear before the

Ontario Court of Justice in Picton, Oct. 15.

Everyone has role to play in productive election campaign

TOMORROW is the day when nominations close for the 2014 municipal elections Oct. 27. A hearty number of candidates have already made their intentions known for the fall race, but there’s always a thrill the deadline might bring some excitement and options for residents interested in municipal affairs. Those who either have put their names forward or plan to in the dying hours should be commended for their efforts to take on a leadership role where they live and, in some cases, work. Despite the notoriety councillors may receive at public ceremonies or the chance to have their name in the news, it is mostly a thankless job. It’s also one with very limited power considering the decisions upper levels of government ultimately impact. Councillors work long hours and pour over endless piles of reports just so that things most of us take for granted operate as we would expect. With their contact information so readily available, most of these people also have to be available to receive phone calls and e-mails at all hours night and day — and normally people don’t call to congratulate their councillor, though when a snow plow runs late or garbage is missed, time and decibel level aren’t always prime considerations for the person who is picking up the phone and dialing. Add in the many meetings that interfere with work and social hours and the fact the salary is far less than many hourly employees make, there’s no wonder that only a few people want the job. Those who have made it this far have probably thought of all of that and decided they still want to take on the job. Bravo to them! After Friday, however, the campaign is officially on and it will be time to scrutinize these people to see who has the ideas and demeanour most suitable to stand up for constituents and make the decisions necessary to keep the County in good financial stead. Given these people have taken the time to submit themselves to that scrutiny, it is up to the rest of us as citizens to put careful consideration into the next few weeks to ensure candidates are being asked the tough questions, are aware of the issues, and have a chance to formulate answers. If no one gives them those opportunities, it will be hard to know where they stand on the issues that matter most over the next four years. Whether it is on wind turbines, growth and development, heritage, council size, budgeting, or something that comes up out of the blue, the campaign will likely give a window into the way the candidates see the issues and how they will represent us. We are hopeful it will be a lively campaign this time around, full of discussion and debate and we encourage community groups to consider staging information sessions to ensure people get as much access to their potential representatives as possible before voting day. With more engagement, perhaps more people will be willing to come to the polls and counter a disturbing trend of indifference. Candidates, those months of studying and hard work are about to come to fruition. We look forward to you offering your very best before letting the chips fall where they may. Your candidacy, successful or not, should contribute to better governance.

Library produces annual report for council, residents

Each year the library produces an annual report that is presented to municipal council and made available to county residents. The report highlights the activities and accomplishments of the library over the previous year. The recently released 2013 Annual Report includes a message from Library board chair Phil Ainsworth. In it, he provides information about the newly formed Facilities and Services Review Committee. During 2013, the committee assessed the physical condition, circulation statistics, overhead costs and future challenges to service of all six library branches. An important second phase included public consultations to gather input from the community. A copy of the Facilities and Services Review Committee Final Report is included with copies of the Annual Report now in all branches of the library. Another major accomplishment that is highlighted has been the significant contribution made to the tower restoration fund for the Consecon branch in 2013 by library patron Phil Parkin. Throughout the year, the library also held many activities and programs for learning both aimed at the community at large and with specialized events for groups such as schools, children and seniors. Program attendance was at an all time high in 2013 with 15,416 participants. Part of the success of the programs and, indeed, of the operations at the library, is due to contributions of time by volunteers. Last year, 2293 hours of volunteer time was recorded. Volunteers are incredibly important at the library, and are held in high regard. Recently, the library was fortunate to have enlisted the help of Barbara Drake-Land as a volunteer, volunteer coordinator. The role of the coordinator is to streamline processes in place and improve the overall volunteer experience. “It’s important that we not only continue to attract volunteers to the library so that we can continue to do the work we currently do, but also to make certain that the skills volunteers bring are matched to the opportunities we can provide,” says Library chief executive offi-

InsIde the lIbrary CHRISTINE RENAUD

cer Barbara Sweet. “In that way, we can ensure the best possible outcome for all involved.” One area of the library that is currently in need of volunteers is the management of book donations and the used bookstores. As the library winds down the second bookstore location, currently in the Armoury Mall, there is much work to be done. “We have been very fortunate to have had the use of a space in the Armoury Mall to house our used bookstore,” says Sweet. “This has been made possible through the generosity of owner, Mark G. Baker.” As the demands of the library increase, however, and staffing the store becomes more challenging, the library is winding down the Armoury space and slowly emptying that location. “We will continue to sell books from the smaller used book store in the lower level of the Picton branch,” says Sweet. The opportunity to sell some donations through Better World Books has helped in thinning the large number of books the library receives. Better World Books is a company which collects books from libraries, paying them a nominal amount, but then sells the materials online to fund literacy initiatives worldwide. Lastly, the library welcomes volunteers who would like to share their time and expertise for programs and events at the library. Anyone interested in discussing such possibilities is asked to contact the library at 613-476-5962 or e-mai crenaud@peclibrary.org

There’s nothing offensive in Canadian Tire’s advertisement

Regarding the letter published in the Sept. 4 Gazette by Don Norrington. "Reader finds advertisement linking fair, guns offensive". To answer the questioned posed in the above letter, no , the advertisement is not extremely offensive. Clearly Norrington was looking for a reason to be offended. He critiques even the smallest aspect of the advertisement, right down to the "smirk on the face" of the young man holding the rifle. He then proceeds to tie together the gun, Christmas and the fair. Are you kidding me? Talk about the politically correct agenda. Attempting to stifle the free market based clearly on his liberal progressive ideology. A retail icon like Canadian Tire has every

right to advertise the products that they sell and do so with a young man who might be smiling. I just wonder if he is equally offended when Canadian celebrity chef Anna Olsen sells those horribly lethal kitchen knives for Home Hardware...and she does it while smiling. As a gun owner and hunter I want to know when my local Canadian Tire has expanded their firearms inventory or has sales underway. To quote Norrington, "voice your opinion to Canadian Tire".... and support their right to advertise without fear of the politically correct rallying against them. Bill Thomson Cressy

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

It’s time to elect new blood to deal with council size

I voted in the last municipal election, I also was among the 7,578 who voted to downsize council — that is, of those who took the time, showed some interest, and took their democratic right to put into office those we thought had the leadership, fortitude (backbone), intelligence, perseverance, and other abilities to run a municipality of 25,400 people. Eighty per cent of those who voted wanted to downsize. Is this not a majority? This past four years, we have seen a wishy-washy teeter-totter council. Today, it is this decision,then a few crybabies come to council and we change the decision because we can't decide due to inertia or incompetence, we need

consultants at $100,000 per decision — this way, council doesn't have to take responsibility for that decision. Get rid of this bumbling , indecisive bunch. Nice people maybe, but they did not show leadership on this issue. Look at council’s size. Can we get consensus easily? No. We have fractious groups that are not willing to compromise. Council, to placate the fine people who voted to downsize, spent $30,000 of your money to study the question — an absolute absurdity and it speaks volumes about the collective wisdom of our local council. The majority had no intention of downsizing their jobs. Was this a power trip for nine

councillors? Remember them: Quaiff, Marisett, Maynard, O'Brien, Nowitski, Lunn, Forrester, and Shortt. We have a council member who wants to be mayor. This samy guy, in his ward of North Marysburgh, got a turnout of 46 per cent of eligible voters, not a majority of those. Seventy-three per cent at the ballot told him to downsize. He ignored them. He called a public meeting in his ward, where he was told once again by a vast majority so gathered to downsize council. How did he vote in council? He ignored his own ward's wishes. Do we need a potential leader who can't see twice the writing on the wall? Give him the third strike.

What to do? We could join Belleville, our population would result in a possible two seats on council. However, my plan would be to elect five councillors and a mayor at large. Each elected councillor would bear the responsibility of two jobs, ie. roads and health care. Another could be capital works and policing, et cetera. Every voter would know who to phone if they have a County issue. The present ward system as utilized is not working. It’s time for new blood. If you read this article, politics interests you. You should run. This time, get out and vote, especially for a smaller council. Ron Binch

Health Canada should offer support for Canadian innovations

A classic example of head up their ass politicians is the Citronella story from Quebec. The company Druide has been producing Citronella bug spray for over 30 years and the product is know around the world to be safe and our “Health Canada” has no proof that the product is dangerous but conversely wants the company to prove the product is safe.. The Harper mantra is that “government should keep its

nose out of business”, but in fact government is inextricably connected to business and should understand that they have an obligation to support the sectors which underpin the Canadian economy and employ Canadians with good paying jobs. It now appears the choices given by our political masters are DEET or West Nile. I designed and filed for a patent for hand and body sanitizer bases on hydrogen

peroxide which Health Canada recognizes as a sterilzer, sanitizer, and disinfectant and allows it’s use by the medical professionals both dermally and internally every day to kill germs, viruses and pathogens, yet Health Canada will not sanction it as a hand sanitizer without a million dollars in tests by me to show it kills germs, viruses and other pathogens. How do we get our coun-

try back from the multinational drug and agro companies that give us DEET, beekilling neonics, alcohol sanitizers, oxycodone, et cetera. and how can we convince the political masters that they are employed by United States And that they are not, in fact, masters but public servants. I chose Citronella over DEET! How about you?? Stan Grizzle

Tag sale at Taylor home this weekend Doctor’s family takes advantage of growing trend to assist downsizing

WHATTAM’S COMMUNITY CALENDAR The Community Calendar is donated as a public service to our community by The Whattam Funeral Home, 33 Main St., West, Picton (613-476-2450)

SPACE IS AVAILABLE TO Calendar items can be faxed 476-3031, email communitycalendar@whattamfuneralhome.com or placed in drop box at the side door of the Funeral Home by Saturday at noon.

AdAm BrAmBurger Staff writer

While census data projects the number of Ontario seniors aged 65 or older will double over the next 20 years, downsizing is ultimately becoming a big business. Some seniors hold yard sales, some ship off their unwanted items to an auction house, and others list with auctioneers who will sell it online. Dr. Earle Taylor and his wife Judy Taylor looked at it a different way when they decided it was time to sell their waterfront home at 101 Bridge Street — they're going to invite people to come into their house, see how they lived, and shop right there. The Taylors are believed among the first families in Prince Edward County to host a tag sale. On Monday, a crew of three people from the Kingston-based company On Your Behalf was busily working to arrange displays of glassware, fishing flies, and art work for a sale this Friday. Certified appraiser Sandra Mercer co-ordinated the crew. She said the idea of tag sales for estates or downsizing gained popularity in the United States about 10 years ago and over the past decade, they have grown in popularity in larger cities. She operates in Kingston and said the Taylors' sale this coming Friday and Saturday is her first venture into Prince Edward County. "We set up for things to be sold. We're trying to have nothing left when we're done," Mercer said. Prior to allowing the team into their home, the

Taylors decided they'd downsize and move to a condominium in the community after spending 47 years in their home. They took all of the items they wanted to keep with them and their children also picked items they didn't want to sell. Mercer and her crew were left to decide what to do with everything left in the house before its new owners take possession. She said they would work to ensure nothing was left behind. "Everything you see is for sale," Mercer explained. "We want to set it up so that we have nothing left when we're done." Following the sale, the crew will clean the home and have it ready for the next owners to personalize. In the meantime, each item in the home has been tagged and many of them have been put into vignettes or exhibits. For example, in the living room at the back of the home, Taylor's fishing rods, lures, and flies sit with fishing vests and some of the tools he's used to craft his own

lures. In another room, there's an assortment of carved ducks and decoys set out together. Each has a price on it, established by the home owners with the assistance of appraisers specializing in the items available. '"Earle put modest prices on things and we had other people help us with pricing. (Auctioneer) Tim Potter is an expert on the ducks, for example," Mercer said. On the first day of the sale, people will line up outside the home and Mercer's crew will allow a limited number of people into the home. By doing that, they can ensure that people aren't there to pilfer or damage the good, but they can also use it to create scarcity to help clients get value. "Everything is priced at fair market value and it creates a frenzy," she said. "If you don't want to pay for something right then, someone else might."

Tag sale offers a glimpse at lives lived as well as a chance to buy

That first day, the hosts will not accept bartering, choosing to keep their pricing firm so that everyone through the home has an opportunity to buy at the asking price. On the second day, the prices go down. Mercer said her crew has a good idea of what they're willing to take for each item. "I know in my head what I can do," she said. In the event items still remain unsold, then she'll entertain the idea of selling lots to dealers. With the sale right in the home, Mercer said some people will go just to satisfy a curiosity about how people lived. In some cases with well-known families like the Taylors, she said some people who knew them might come to pick

up a sentimental item of theirs to remember them, even something as small as a cup and saucer. Staging the sale in the home also helps her with the crowd looking to make serious purchases, she said. "I've heard from auctioneers that dining rooms are a thing of the past and they can't move them, but we have no problem selling them," she said. "The difference here is that you can see it in a home, look at how it was used, and dream a little." The Taylors sale runs Friday from 1-7 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. until there's no one left. Mercer said On Your Behalf has had much demand for its tag sales, with bookings on weekends for the next two months already.

Candidates invited to regional breakfast meeting Sept. 29

The Bay of Quinte Living Council has invited mayoral and council candidates in Prince Edward to network with their peers at a breakfast in Belleville Sept. 29. The meeting will allow the Bay of Quinte Living and Tourism Councils to share information about the work they do to develop regional co-operation.

“The meeting is generally information based, meant to allow not only discussion for the first time between regional candidates, but to allow proper communication on work being done in partnership already in the region,” said Ryan Williams, an executive with both councils.

Exploring transportation options available for seniors in Prince Edward County

There are several ways for seniors to get around in The County. Of course, one is to have and drive a car. Another is to walk. In between those two options are such things as: asking family or friends for a ride; using Community Care’s escorted transportation program; Prince Edward County Accessible Transit which is operated by Quinte Access; Deseronto Transit; or taking a taxi. We will deal with each in turn. The Canadian Automobile Association has an online tool that allows Canadians to figure out the cost of owning a car, depending upon the make, model, year, etc. Find it h e r e :http://www.caa.ca/driving-costs/ For the purposes of this column let’s assume it costs $8,500 to $11,500 to own and operate a small car (depending on km driven), and $10,800 to $14,300 to keep an average van on the road. To determine the full cost of owning your car remember to include: the purchase cost, depreciation, financing charges, insurance, license & registration, regular maintenance, tires & major repairs, roadside assistance plans, fuel and parking. If it takes $8,500.00 to operate that small car that means that you’re spending $163.00 per week on transportation with that car. ($8,500.00 divided by 52 weeks is $163.00/week) If you don’t have the car, you might have to pay for some transportation, and you’ll have the $163.00/week to spend. Many seniors ask family and friends to drive them for groceries and medical appointments. That’s a good option and often others are willing to make the trip. If they’re not available then you might consider taking Prince Edward County Specialized Transit. The service, contracted with Quinte Access, provides door to door transit

services to locations within Prince Edward County and beyond. The program requires all eligible riders to register through an application process and trips must be scheduled one day in advance. Priority will be given to riders with physical disabilities. Medical appointments will take precedence over social trips. There are two levels of eligibility: service priority will be granted to eligible county residents, regardless of age, that use mobility devices and do not have access to existing transportation services; and secondary priority will be granted to PEC residents 65 years of age or older that do not use mobility devices and do not have access to existing transportation services. The service currently runs four days per week (Tuesday through Friday). The toll-free contact phone number to reserve trip times is 1-855283-9640. Visit www.pecounty.on.cafor more information. Community Care operates a transportation service that helps seniors go to medical appointments and shopping. We call this service kitchen table to kitchen table service. It is an escort-

ed program with one to one service. All volunteer drivers have been carefully screened. These people want to provide this service to seniors. The driver stays with the senior at all times, except for dialysis trips. Rides to destinations such as a local doctor’s office, Prince Edward Memorial Hospital or to points in Belleville, Kingston, Trenton and Toronto for medical appointments can be arranged. The service is for seniors 60-plus and the first step is for a senior to call and arrange to talk to one of our Coordinators. Once you have been accepted as a client of Community Care you just call the office two to three days in advance to schedule a ride. To have a confidential conversation with a Community Care coordinator about the trans-

portation program, please call the office at 613-4767493. Our staff people make home visits or you can make an appointment to come into the office. Community Care serves seniors living anywhere in the entire County of Prince Edward and our program will take people anywhere their medical appointment is scheduled. Deseronto Transit provides transportation to residents of Hastings, Prince Edward and Lennox & Addington Counties. It travels to Deseronto, Napanee, Belleville, Prince Edward County, with stops at many communities in between. At present transportation services are from Monday to Saturday at varying times throughout the day. Refer to the schedule for complete details. There are bus stops in

Deseronto Transit does not operate on statutory holidays. There are also commercial operators of taxi companies in Prince Edward County. Currently both Cronkie’s Cab and Terry’s Taxi operate in this area. Bluebird Taxi is also available from Belleville if you need a wheelchair taxi. In 2013, the Prince Edward County Community Foundation published a report called Vital Signs. This report indicated that for many PEC residents transportation is a problem and options need to be implemented or expanded. A lack of transportation

can make it difficult getting to work, school, daily shopping or medical appointments. A working group was established to look into getting around Prince Edward County and a survey has been launched. The group needs to know how you travel now, what’s working well for you, what transportation struggles you have (if any) and if you would use a more public form of transportation system if it was available. The survey will take 5-10 minutes and can be completed anonymously. Completing the ‘Getting Around Survey’ will mean your voice is heard. It can be accessed online at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SPR3SSK. Seniors who need transportation are encouraged to call Community Care and discuss options. The number is 613-476-7493.

Fall is approaching and with cooler weather, many of us are facing the task of lifting and storing tender bulbs, rhizomes, tubers and corms that will not survive if left in the ground during the winter. They include dahlias, calla lilies, canna lilies, gladiolus, caladiums, tuberous begonias, and oxalis among others. For each of these plants, there is a time to lift them from the ground and a special method to store them for the winter. While we have at least 30 days to begin this process, it’s probably a good time to be making a list of what needs to be done, obtain the necessary supplies and develop a plan so that when the time is right, the chore will be a pretty straight forward one. Timing depends upon the first frost which generally occurs around Oct. 10. That date can vary by two to three weeks and could come earlier rather than later. Generally speaking, you should wait until two to three days after the first frost to dig any bulbous rootstock from the ground. For dahlias and canna lily, these two to three days are very important to give the time needed to develop the eyes that will become next season’s plants. For most of these plants, a spading fork is the best tool

ASk A mASter gArdener

but for dahlias the better tool is a shovel so you can sever the fine feeder roots that have developed under the tubers. Be sure to loosen the soil in a generous area around the bulbs before digging them. Curing is an important step in preserving bulbs. Curing involves slowly drying out the outer layer of the bulb so that it becomes tough which seals the moisture inside. Cure bulbs by air drying away from direct sun and wind. You can choose to wash the bulbs that you dig or you can just brush off the soil that will eventually dry as they are cured before they

are stored. I don’t wash bulbous roots as wet rootstock could set up the conditions for rot unless they are diligently dried before storage. The expert field is divided to wash or not to wash. You decide for yourself. Storage is varied depending upon the rootstock. When lifting Dahlias, cut the stems back to six inches, cure for four to seven days and store them between several layers of newspaper in cardboard boxes or in large paper bags in an area where the temperature remains between 5 C and 12 C. Caladium prefers to be cured for one to two weeks with its foliage intact. Once cured, remove the dried foliage and store in vermiculite at 10 C and 12 C. Gladiolus also needs curing for one to two weeks with the stems cut back to within 2.5 cm of the crown. Remove the bottom corm and store the cormels that have grown above it in mesh bags between 2 C and 5 C. Calla lily needs curing for three to four days and storage in vermiculite at a temperature between 10 C and 13 C. After canna lilies are lifted, cut back the tops to about eight centimetres and cure only for a few hours. Dust with fungicide and store in vermiculite, sand or hang in mesh bags between 5 C and 10 C. Begonias should be lifted and the soil removed. Any damaged or rotted areas should be cut out and the cuts dusted with fungicide. Tubers should be cured for

two to three weeks until stems easily detach and stored individually in paper bags or a cardboard box at a temperature between 10 C and 13 C. It’s reasonable to assume that few of us have multiple storage areas at temperatures to accommodate all variants perfectly, so generally speaking, just be sure to store the rootstock in an area that is dry and quite cool but not in a place that will freeze. You should check on the stored rootstock occasionally during the winter to ensure it is not rotting or drying out to the point of shriveling. If it is shriveling, then spritz the storage material with a little mist of water. If it is rotting, then remove the rotted material and give the remainder additional air for a while before re-covering it. Plants such as oxalis and calla lilies are often grown in pots in the summer. To overwinter oxalis, simply bring it inside, place it in a well lit room and grow it as a house plant. To over-winter potted calla lilies, cut back the foliage and let the soil in the pots go dry. Keep it in a cool, dark place. In the spring, remove the bulbs from the dry soil and re-pot them. Most bulbs can be replanted directly into the ground when all danger of frost has passed next spring. However, begonias and caladiums should be started in shallow trays inside six weeks before the last frost (about May 15) and then transplanted after all danger of frost has passed. Caladiums can be potted individually when they develop roots before moving outside later on. Dahlias should be divided by removing the stems from the tubers, ensuring each tuber has an eye and potted indoors also six weeks before the last frost. With a little planning, you can save the best of your tender “bulbs” and have beautiful blooms again next year.

Muralist paints her panels inside a former Camp Picton barracks Karole Marois’ Loch Sloy studio among attractions for Quinte Doors Open Jason Parks

Staff writer

You never can tell what's behind a closed door and with that in mind, Saturday's Bay of Quinte Region Doors Open event provides locals and visitors the opportunity to check out some very interesting buildings, museums, halls and institutions. One of those open doors during this weekend's event will be at Loch Sloy Business Park. The former Camp Picton still retains its Second World War-era feel with rows of green buildings, aircraft hangers and Royal Canadian Air Cadet activity every summer. But as the name suggests, there is business taking place at Loch Sloy and a number of the businesses are actually studios of local visual artists, photographers and glassblowers. And in one of those studios that will be open Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Is the work space of one of Eastern Canada's best muralists. For better than three decades, Karole Marois has been painting murals in Ottawa and around the city of Ottawa. If you've wandered into the Canadian Aviation & Space Museum, the Canadian Museum of Civilization, Canada's War Museum or walked the streets of Ottawa's Little Italy, you've seen her work. Now, the Ottawa native works out of a former Second World War barracks, at

at work Renowned muralist Karole Marois works on “Ostrander Point” at her studio at Loch Sloy Business Park. Marois is one of several artists opening their studios Saturday as part of Bay of Quinte Doors Open. (Jason Parks/Gazette staff)

Loch Sloy's building five, just outside of Picton. Specializing in the human figure, mural painting through commercial projects and commissioned work was Marois' 'bread and butter' activity for a good portion her professional career. The advent of computer graphic design and large scale ink jet printing have sidelined her somewhat “But there's a movement now in Toronto and other places where muralism is coming back and gaining popularity,” Marois told the Gazette last week as she worked on a painting entitled “Ostrander Point.” It's fitting Marois finds herself painting inside a building that once housed soldiers training for deployment in the European theatre in the early 1940s. Among her more renowned work comes

from the time Marois was involved with the Canadian Forces Artist Program, an initiative that selects civilian artists to follow Canadian troops where ever they go in the world. In 2005, Marois was in Holland for the 60th anniversary liberation celebrations and that visit inspired “The Parade”, a 13-panel mural that are shaped into gravestones that capture conflicting imagery of the victory of war and that victory's terrible cost. After an exhibition, the work wound up at the Canadian War Museum. The visit and emotional gravity of the Allies liberation of the Netherlands, Canada's role and the eternal appreciation of the Dutch people struck a chord with Marois. She would become inspired to create an even larger project of 65 grave-

stones to commemorate the 65th anniversary in 2010. The panels show all three service groups, Holland's starvation winter where civilians were forced to eat tulip bulbs and today's soldiers and their appreciation of the men and women who came before them. “I called it 'Together, Side by Side' and it really captures the soldiers but also the friendship of Canada and Holland,” Marois said. The work was displayed at the Royal Canadian Legion Headquarters in Ottawa before the town of Appledoorn in Holland purchased the work and proudly displayed it in

their city hall. A graduate of the Ontario College of Art and Design in Toronto and of the Academy of Fine Arts of Florence Italy, Marois and her husband Mike Bowland became aware of the county about 15 years ago when they had their sail boat harboured in nearby Collins Bay. “We knew the area well but we never thought we would ever live here,” Marois said. But Mike became semiretired and Marois soon found her self looking for a change from her hometown. “I said if we are going to make this move, I have to be some place where I can

be inspired,” she explained. They followed the followed the Rideau Canal and soon discovered a home in Prinyer's Cove and settled there last fall. Now she finds her self in a studio where some of the very people who inspired some of her work might have learned the hows, whats and whys of armed conflict. “Everything always seems to connect,” she added. Marois has joined the Prince Edward County Arts Council and her profile along with a link to her personal web site can be viewed at pecartscouncil.org/karolemarois-p219.php.

Producing wine is a family affair for Traynors at their new Danford Road vineyard

This past weekend I stopped by the newest winery in the county; Traynor Family Vineyard which is located at 1774 Danforth Road in Hillier. Of course I tasted some wine but I also found out that the name was very appropriate as it truly is a family vineyard. Owner and winemaker Mike Traynor explained that his whole family is involved with this project. He says his wife Rebecca owns businesses in Toronto and Peterborough but is also the vineyards social media guru, events manager, licensee of sales, weekend retailer and he jokingly added reluctant vineyard labourer. His 10year-old son Quintin is a wannabe assistant winemaker and vineyard labourer. Even his mid-’70s aged parents are involved and at one point during construction were on 12-foot high scaffolding as they helped tighten over 8,000 bolts when they were building the winery building! They purchased the property in December 2008 when it was just a frozen cornfield. Construction of the winery building began in the spring of 2009 and served as shelter from the wind and rain as well as storage until last year when it was converted into the actual retail/production facility. Mike explained how he has come full circle in the wine business. Right out of high school he started in wine

He had grown up on a hobby farm just outside of Peterborough and agriculture was in his blood and he immediately saw wine as an attractive means of value added agriculture. When he was 19 he planted about ninety grape vines in his parents back yard to see how they would work. He moved to Ottawa to continue his education and while going to school there he took the Sommelier program at Algonquin in night school. One day he was reading an article in the Ottawa Citizen and saw an article called “Prince Edward County” and how it had an emerging wine region and there was a wine program being developed at Loyalist College. Within a week he

enrolled in the program. The Loyalist program was a great experience for him and he said it was great to get to know many people that were highly involved in the early stages of the counties wine development (including classmates Jenifer Dean and Caroline Granger who are well known here in the county wine industry). Dean later introduced Mike to Lanny Huff who had just purchased a property on South Bay that he wanted to plant a vineyard on. Lanny hired him to be the operations manager to help get what would become Huff Estates off the ground and he worked there until the end of 2005. In 2006 Mike took on a project called Oak Heights north of Cobourg where he was hired as the winemaker and general manager. When he left Oak Heights in February 2009 he had just purchased the property that would become his vineyard and needed a break from life, so he went to New Zealand for three weeks to experience their harvest. They now have five acres of vines which were hand planted by family and friends during the spring of 2009. The vineyard is comprised of two acres of Chardonnay and one acre each of Sauvignon blanc, Frontenac gris and Marquette. Mike says that for the first two years they didn’t own a

family buSineSS Mike Traynor shows off some of his bottles at the Traynor Family Vineyard in Hillier. He, his wife, and 10-year-old son are all involved in some aspect of the winemaking process (Joe Hache/For The Gazette)

tractor and struggled to stay ahead but fellow winery owner Kemp Stewart was good enough to occasionally loan them Hillier Creeks tractor. They installed the trellis themselves and even dug in the end posts by hand but have since purchased a back hoe for their tractor and replaced most of the posts. For the last two years Rebecca has organized what they refer to as a “Prune-aPoloza” for mid-April where they host a group of family

and friends for the weekend to come to the county to prune the vineyard. Normally it involves barbecue wine and going out to a local restaurant for dinner. With last year being their first harvest everyone was very excited and again Rebecca managed to coordinate a big family gathering and over the course of a weekend they managed to pick everything. While they now spend their weeks in Toronto and Newmarket working, they

spend weekends at the vineyard and at their weekend home on Lake Consecon. When you're out and about "sippin" in the county I recommend you stop by and taste some great wine and meet this young family and see what they have accomplished. -Joe Hache maintains an independent guide to local wineries at www.princeedwardcountywineries.com.

Nowitski to prioritize roads in second council term Ameliasburgh incumbent looks for ways to generate growth Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

With a first term of learning under his belt, Nick Nowitski says he's ready to return to to council and put that knowledge to work for the residents of Prince Edward County. Nowitski is one of the six residents who will vie for three Ameliasburgh seats in the coming election. He joins fellow incumbents Janice Maynard and Dianne O'Brien, as well as newcomers Roy Pennell, Rachael Tracey, and Tim Fellows. An architectural technologist by trade, Nowitski spent years selling computer-aided design (CAD) software and was an instructor with Centennial, St. Lawrence, and Loyalist colleges. After getting his first political experience through the last term, Nowitski said he feels better prepared to serve the residents of Ameliasburgh. “You start getting the hang of it and I want to follow through on some of the things we've already started and see them through to

fruition,” he said. He said he would seek to prioritize County Rd. 3 reconstruction project and said roads are a major issue throughout the entire county. “We should be looking at roads — because we're mainly a rural area — from the point of view that, if the traffic doesn't warrant it, the

road should go back to gravel,” he said. “It would be easier to maintain and would cost every taxpayer less money in the long run.” Nowitski said the municipality is moving in a positive direction and said council has made strides toward paying down more debt in recent years. He said some

Physician to relocate from Rossmore to Wellington er doctor, never mind a third physician as well,” he said in a news release. In Wellington, Holton’s patients will have access to an integrated team of health professionals, which can assist them with increased access and health outcomes. PEFHT executive director Stephane MacLaren said the it was a tough decision to close the clinic, but knows Holton will provide excellent care regardless of his location. “It was becoming fiscally irresponsible to continue to support the location,”

The Prince Edward Family Health Team announced this week Dr. Gord Holton will relocate his practice to the Sandbanks Medical Clinic as of Oct. 31, effectively ending its commitment to the Upper County Clinic in Rossmore. The clinic was established five years ago with the goal of attracting a team of at least three physicians. Holton noted that even after years of recruiting patients, numbers were too low to sustain the clinic at its present location. “The patient volume is still not enough to be able to split my practice with anoth-

she said. “Our goal is to offer one-stop collaborative care with multiple members of the PEFHT team. We simply could never offer that in Rossmore.” -Staff

headway has been made through lower interest rates, but council has to make sure the money saved is spent in the right places. “We've got some good financial people who are doing a really good job in that light,” he said. “… We're servicing the debt. It's a large debt for such as small area, but most of it has come at the expense of keeping the roads up and infrastructure.” Nowitski said the biggest issue the municipality has to deal with is generating growth. He said seasonal and transient business is great, but the county needs longterm jobs. “We not only need people moving here, we need to have people moving here who are willing to start businesses,” he said. He said council has to be sure to nurture that growth where it's happening, noting that while growth is usually focused on urban areas, many people who move to the county do so for the rural lifestyle.

Mummers present Grace and Glory for local health-care fundraiser

The Marysburgh Mummers are trying something new to continue a long tradition of supporting worthwhile community endeavours. The company is in rehearsals for a two-hander, Grace and Glory, featuring Jennifer Sills and Paulina McMahon, directed by Monica Alyea. One character, Grace, is 90 years old and has been diagnosed by cancer. She discharged herself from the hospital to die at a home she has sold to developers to pay her bills. Glory, a New York city transplant to a rural area, is her hospice worker. The show has been billed as warm comedy and

poignant drama and Alyea says her actors deserve a lot of credit for their efforts. “In theatre speak, there’s 88 pages of lines and no bathroom breaks...I think these actors are amazing.” The show will benefit the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation — putting the Mummers over the $10,000 mark in just under 30 years — and Hospice Prince Edward. It runs Sept. 19-21 and 26-28, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. Sunday matinees are at 2 p.m. Tickets are $15 each. -Staff

O’Brien hopes to see projects to fruition Veteran councillor plans to help small businesses thrive in Ameliasburgh ChAD ibbotSoN

Staff writer

There's more work to be done and, if re-elected, incumbent Ameliasburgh councillor Dianne O'Brien intends to do it. O'Brien has served two terms on council and was first being elected to represent the ward in 2006. In the last election she garnered 1,306 votes — good for second best in the race to represent Ameliasburgh. She has served on several committees of council and served on the public library board during this term. The Ameliasburgh resident worked for 31 years with Nortel before retiring and currently works parttime with Parkside Landscaping in Belleville. O'Brien said she decided to run for council again to work on unfinished projects. “There are things that I've started that haven't been completed that I want to see through,” she said. “I want to see Massassauga Road down from Sunrise (Drive) and Wallbridge Circle, Marsh Road, County Rd. 3 — these are projects

that are in the books, but not completed.” She said one of the priorities for the ward will be helping small businesses.

She said many of the shops that used to thrive in the villages and hamlets across Ameliasburgh have closed and something has to be

Editor’s note: Over the weeks leading up to the Oct. 27 municipal election, the Gazette will be attempting to profile all of the candidates running for council in the county’s various wards and running for school board trustee. Attempts will be made to group candidates from similar wards together for an easy comparison, though space, candidates’ availability, and the date a candidate declares eligibility may mean that profiles for one ward may run in separate editions of the newspaper.

done to get them running again. “That would really push and stimulate the local economy,” she said. “Especially the stores in the small communities. They're the heart of the hamlets and villages.” Overall, O'Brien said she believes the municipality is heading in the right direction, saying council has worked to pay down debt without giving up critical services. “We're getting there slowly,” she said. She said residents don't want to see tax increases and believes the cost of living to be the biggest issue facing Prince Edward County. “People don't want any more tax increases,” she said. “I don't think we should cut back on services but, for instance, we could look at the OPP costing — there has to be a better way.” O'Brien said services have been cut back as far as possible and there has to be ways to provide the same service levels at more affordable prices. “We have to learn to do it cheaper,” she said. Issues change year to year and with each election, she said. O'Brien said she's looking forward to finding out what the residents now feel are the biggest issues once the campaign picks up steam later this month.

HGTV series issues casting call

Do you know an unconventional handyman? If so, HGTV is interested in putting him or her on the air. A new series I Wrecked My House, starring comedian Steve Patterson is looking for Ontario residents to participate on the show. To nominate or submit someone, please e-mail casting@mountainroad.ca with the following: the story behind questionable home repairs, photos of each of the eccentric repairs, a photo of the nominator and nominee together, and your contact information. Filming starts this fall.

Incumbent Ameliasburgh councillor Janice Maynard is among those seeking another term this fall. The Consecon resident got her first experience in municipal politics after being elected in 2010, when she received the most votes of anyone in the race to represent the ward with 1,462. Maynard, who is general manager of The Boathouse restaurant in Belleville, also served on Quinte Conservation's Prince Edward Region Watershed Advisory Board during the term — including the last year as chair. She said she's seeking another term because she feels there is more work to

be done. “The work's not done. There are things I'd like to see through,” she said. “I'd like to be able to find some more savings in the budget.” She said she also wants to see greater focus on roads and on bringing a greater standard to the municipality's parks and other recreation facilities. She indicated that those issues will be priorities for her in the ward if re-elected. However, Maynard said she isn't satisfied with the overall direction the municipality is heading. “We're more fractured than we need to be,” she said. “We don't put enough emphasis on things for our young families and the

working class.” She said the only way to correct that is to make sure the limited budget the municipality has to work with is spent in the right places. With that in mind, she said all segments of Prince Edward County's society have to input. Infrastructure, Maynard said, is the biggest issue Prince Edward County faces today. She says that means tough choices will have to be made between needs and wants. “There are things that are nice to have and then there are things you have to have,” she said. “… If we

Wh a t ' s On

just concentrate on spending our money on the necessities and forego some of the niceties, then (savings can be achieved).” She said voters can expect her to keep fighting for cost savings, recreation, and commitments to infrastructure if re-elected this fall. Maynard will contend with at least five others for the three Ameliasburgh seats — fellow incumbents Dianne O'Brien and Nick Nowitski, and newcomers Tim Fellows, Rachael Tracey, and Roy Pennell have also filed their nominations.

Pirates earn split in first weekend of exhibition play Picton blows out Gananoque after overtime loss to Clarington ChAd iBBotson

Staff writer

The Picton Pirates split their first pair of preseason contests over the weekend — a close road loss to the Junior C Clarington Eagles, followed by a blowout of the Junior B Gananoque Islanders in Wellington. The Pirates dressed a young squad Saturday, but managed to keep it close in a 4–3 loss. The club followed up with a more experienced group on Sunday and took home an 8–3 victory. “I was very happy with the performance on the weekend,” said Picton coach and general manager Ryan Woodward. He said the club dressed a young lineup consisting of mainly 16 and 17 year olds on Saturday, while the Eagles dressed a more veteran-laden lineup. “Overall I thought the guys worked very, very hard. That's what we want our identity to be — a hardworking club,” said Woodward. “The guys battled the entire game against a Clarington squad that had 13 or 14 veterans in it.” Austin Labelle collected a goal and two assists, and Shaw Boomhower and Chris Jones also scored for Picton in the loss. Woodward said the team can take the loss as a learning

opportunity. “The players are bigger and stronger and they're going to have to prepare themselves mentally and physically to be good, strong players at this level,” he said. “It's an eye-opener for them. They get their feet

wet and on Sunday they played with a little more confidence and a little less nerves.” Woodward said the hard work from Saturday's game carried over to Sunday's contest. He said the team's leadership shined.

“Our leadership was fantastic. Brian Bunnett, Chris Jones, and Steve Clarke, those guys really led the young group and gave them confidence with the way they played and the leadership on the bench and in the dressing room,”

he said. It was Gananoque who would strike first on Sunday, however. Brett Arrowsmith fed the puck to Jacob Denofreo who buried the first goal of the game just 3:43 in. The lead didn't last, as 2013-

2014 Empire scoring leader Bunnett potted a shorthanded tally less than a minute later. At 13:50 Bunnett gave Picton the lead with a power-play marker from Clarke and Liam Hunter. Jordan Guindon extended the gap to two with another power-play goal at 14:43. Corey Prince and James Pero had the assists. Just 18 seconds later Bunnett completed the hat-trick to make it 4–1 before the end of the first period. The Pirates picked up where they left off in the second. Devin McCann collected the puck from Prince and buried one 1:32 into the frame. Jones scored at 11:36 to make it 6–1. Gananoque's Kurt Mainse tried to stem the tide with a goal at 16:27, but Calum Kennelly tallied on the power play less than a minute later to close out the second period with the score at 7–2 for Picton. Jones would score an early power-play marker in the third and Islanders forward Phil Smith scored in the last minute to bring the final score to 8–3. “We we able to get strong goaltending from Brock Tufts. Brock is a really steady, strong goaltender and he's going to be a benefit to our club going forward,” said Woodward. Woodward said the young players are fighting hard for roster spots and making decisions tough for team officials.

Senior Panthers look to build on program’s successes last year

Enthusiastic Grade 11s mixed with returning vets give Wentworth high hopes for season AdAm BrAmBurger

With an influx of Grade 11 talent fresh off an unexpected trip to the Bay of Quinte junior final last year, the PECI Senior Basketball Panthers are optimistic about their future prospects. Coach Andrew Wentworth, who guided that junior squad last year, is making the jump to senior this year and he has some familiarity with all of the girls he'll have on the court. Though the team just started practicing Monday, he's confident they'll find a groove and compete hard. "I'd like to think we're past the middle of the pack and we have a real shot to do well. I don't think we're in the top two right now," he said. "Last year we had a very successful season with

half of these girls. It's going to take a lot of work to get there, but we will if we put the work in. The confidence is there and being able to handle high-pressure situations is there." Among the returning seniors, the Panthers find most of their strength at the guard position as sharp shooter Danielle Willis and smooth-dribbling point guard Michaela Jackson will be looked upon as leaders again, especially offensively. Cailey Jones can also be expected to bring tenacious effort and tough defence whenever she is on the court. Wentworth said their efforts can't be overlooked. "Every Grade 12 brings something to the table and we're looking to utilize them, but we want to develop the high number of

Grade 11s we have as well," he said. "A few of them played (Belleville) Spirits (rep) over the summer and you can tell their leadership and skill level has risen. We'll want to isolate them. You can tell that playing continuously does make a difference." That group features the likes of pesky guard Hailey Van Rossum, whose all out hustle allows her to play much bigger than her stature; Hannah Smith, who can play several positions effectively and contribute points; and Lydia Dick, who will be the Panthers' primary post presence this year.

DIFFERENT STYLE

Beyond Dick, the Panthers don't have the size below the basket they've had in

past seasons — something Wentworth said could become an issue — so they've revamped the playbook this year in an attempt to be more effective with the personnel available. "We're looking to be more aggressive on defence this year," he said. "With that aggression and a bit of an offensive change, we should have a good season." The coach indicated he'd try to work in those new systems over the next few practices and he also hoped to instil in his team the importance of good habits and running drills well at all times. The Panthers start their regular season a week from today in Trenton at 4:30 p.m. The Panthers are slated to play tournaments at home, in Belleville, and in Ottawa this year.

Dukes turn in impressive showing in Vermont Wellington opens with pair of shutout wins, then drops two one-goal games at showcase Staff writer

If the returns from the Green Mountains of South Burlington, Vermont are any indication, the Wellington Dukes will compete for the OJHL East Division crown in 2014-2015. In the past two seasons, the club has a had a rough go in the Woodchuck Classic showcase event where goals (and wins) have come at a premium. Ultimately, this has provided a bellwether indication that the club would struggle when the regular season got underway. But this time around, Wellington got off to a great start, winning their first two contests by a combined score of 8-0. The Dukes would ultimately lose game three of the showcase 1-0 on a very late goal and then lost a 5-4 squeaker to the eventual champion Boston Junior Bruins but the hockey club could have easily finished up with a 4-0 record. On the eve of the club's home opener against the Cobourg Cougars Friday, Dukes coach and general manager Marty Abrams liked the teams' performance at the Woodchuck. We had some injuries in the first game, and four of our top nine forwards were not playing, so when you take that into perspective and given the fact we had to play our younger players in situations they haven 't been in, it was a great experience for us,â&#x20AC;? Abrams said Monday. Among the more serious injuries was that to Marco Azzano who sustained a shoulder injury in Welling-

ton's opening 5-0 win over the Eastern Hockey League's New England Wolves On Wednesday evening. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He's definitely not in the lineup this weekend,â&#x20AC;? Abrams said of Azzano. Taylor Welch backstopped his club to the shutout win, stopping every volley sent his way. Blake Peavy had a pair for Wellington to pace the offence while Josh Supryka, Erick Delaurentis and Ben Sokay all had singles. Peavy, a well-travelled junior hockey player born Los Angeles, California and now living in Tampa Bay, Florida has made a positive impact on the club and impressed Abrams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He's had a lot of experience and I really like how he battles and competes,â&#x20AC;? said Abrams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Im really happy with what I've seen for far.â&#x20AC;? On Thursday morning, the club skated to a 3-0 win over the defending EHL champion Northern Cyclones out of Hudson, New Hampshire. Oliver LafreniĂ¨re matched Welch's shutout with one of his own and Wellington got scoring from Delaurentis, Griffin McCarty and Joe McKeown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We spilt the netminding down the middle and it was very exceptional,â&#x20AC;? Abrams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had no issues with the way Ollie and Taylor played in all four games.â&#x20AC;? In their second game of the day and third of the showcase, Wellington played EHL's New Hampshire Monarchs even for almost the entire game. With about three minutes left, the Monarchs finally figured out Welch to go ahead 1-0 and while Wellington

Photography Etc.

No age can survive without art, song, dance and the poetic vision of life for without them we cannot discover the mystery of life. -Samuel Laeuchli We are learning more every day that the universe in which we live is far more vast and complex than we had ever imagined. How do we make sense of it all? How do we understand our own human story in light of the grandeur? And how do we connect with the Mystery that we call God? My faith tradition has always depended on words to mediate the Mystery but at St. Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s we have expanded our Ministry Team to support a very different vision. We believe that Rev. Lynne Donovan we connect with the Mystery through all of our senses. And therefore, we have an eco-photographer, Phil Norton, who not only provides amazing images for Sunday worship but also connects us with his passion for the creation, another way that we connect to the Mystery. Phil is the leader of the County Outings group, a team of hardy souls, who with cameras in hand head out every week on adventures for the purpose of connecting to the natural world. Their work will be featured in an exhibit launched at St. Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s this Sunday and curated by Janice Ruggles-Bolton. Also part of the Ministry Team is local artist Jeanne Campbell who served as our first official Artist-in-Residence and now heads up the Arts Team whose purpose is to create exhibits within the church that further connect us with the Mystery. At the end of the month we will be commissioning Greg Lambert, musician and artist to serve as our next Artist-inResidence knowing that he brings yet another perspective that will inform our experience of the Mystery. At St. Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s we believe that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about making connections and that music, photography, nature, art, and beauty are just a few of the tools that mediate those connections and that give us a taste of the Mystery. The exhibit Photography Etc. opens at St. Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Picton Sunday Sept 14 at 10:30 am and runs until Oct 5. For more information contact Lynne at rev.lynne@sympatico.ca Rev.

Pirates to host Eagles this Saturday in Wellington

PICTON, from page 23

The club announced the signings of defenceman Liam Hunter and power forward Jordan Guindon last week. “Jordan Guindon is going to be a big, strong, and physical, he's going to add some size to our lineup,” said Woodward. He described Hunter as “a high-end mobile defenceman” who should help the offence from the back end.

“He's got a very bright future and we're excited to be a part of his development,” said Woodward. The pre-season continues through this week. The Pirates went on the road to face Gananoque again on Wednesday, and are scheduled to face Clarington again this Saturday at 6:30 p.m. in Wellington. The regular season is slated to kick off on Sept. 19 with the Pirates facing the Storm at 7:30 p.m. in Deseronto.

H O R O S C O P E S

ARIES (Mar 21/Apr 20) Aries, reexamine the important relationships in your life. Figure out what you learned from each friendship and acquaintance, and put those lessons to good use. TAURUS (Apr 21/May 21) Taurus, with so many tasks to complete, you may be tempted to forget about everything and take a mental health day. But everything will still be there tomorrow. GEMINI (May 22/Jun 21) Gemini, you're brimming with excitement about learning something new this week. You may finally be on the cusp of mastering a particularly challenging skill. CANCER (Jun 22/Jul 22) Cancer, it may be challenging to settle your thoughts this week. Work is weighing heavily on your mind, but go easy on yourself and you will still get everything done. LEO (Jul 23/Aug 23) Leo, some people around you may be especially busy this week while you really don't have much to do. Think of it as a good omen of things to come. VIRGO (Aug 24/Sept 22) Share your feelings for someone else with that person this week, Virgo. You may regret your actions if you don't take that emotional leap.

LIBRA (Sept 23/Oct 23) Libra, while you are usually the one who plays peacemaker, this week you are in a position to cause trouble. Don't worry what others think or say. SCORPIO (Oct 24/Nov 22) Remember that success comes in many shapes and sizes, Scorpio. Don't be so quick to consider something a failure. You may just need a new perspective to realize your success. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23/Dec 21) Sagittarius, there are many entertainment options this week, so it's difficult to choose how to spend your time. Whatever you choose, it is bound to be a memorable night. CAPRICORN (Dec 22/Jan 20) Money matters could be taking up a considerable chunk of your time, Capricorn. Focus your concentration on finances and leave other responsibilities on the side for now. AQUARIUS (Jan 21/Feb 18) Aquarius, don't worry if something proves confusing and a challenging nut to crack. Things will sort themselves out in due time, and you will be back on the right track. PISCES (Feb 19/Mar 20) A predicament in your personal life could have you feeling uncomfortable, Pisces. Wait for a clearer picture before taking action.

MEMOriaM

CarD Of thankS

My apologies for the disruption but many, many thanks to all those at the Milford Market on Saturday, 30 August, who so quickly responded and helped Harold during his emergency. Our grateful thanks to the firefighters and the paramedics. And how fortunate to even have had a “doctor in the house”. I was amazed at how fast our community is organized for such emergencies and how lucky we are to still have our caring and efficient hospital to go to. Thank you all so very much and a great big thank you to our family for always being their for us. Nora Bartman.

MEMOriaMS

bEntOn- In memory of Burns Benton who passed away September 20, 1995. Although we smile and make no fuss No one misses him more than us And when old times we do recall That’s when we miss him most of all. Always loved and remembered by Bryce, Mary, Robin, Dagney and Lynsey. brUMMELL- In loving memory of a wonderful mother and grandmother Mildred Brummell who passed away on September 11, 2012. With her steady strength, her quiet grace and her wonderful sense of caring, she made the the world a better place. Forever in our hearts. Sharon, John and family. brUMMELL- Mildred. September 11, 2012. You can shed a tear that she is gone or you can smile because she has lived. You can close your eyes and pray that she’ll come back, or you can open your eyes and see what she has left. Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her Or you can be full of the love you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday You can remember her and only that she’s gone Or you can cherish her memory And let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, Be empty and turn your back, Or you can do what she’d want Smile, open your eyes, love and go on. Love and miss you Mom. Joan and family. brUMMELL, In memory of our grandmother and “great gran” Mildred Mae Brummell who passed away September 11,2012 That day has come around again, The one we said good-bye You closed your eyes and went with God and left us all to cry We all knew you were tired and slowly fading away We would have given anything for just another day Just one more time to hold your hand and see another smile Say another “I Love You” and listen to you play a while But all of that is now gone and your memory is left here still The pictures and stories help a bit but the void will never fill We go and visit you today at your final resting place Tell you that we love you still as the tears stream down our face. You are never out of our thoughts, you are truly missed every hour of every day. All our Love, Sheri, Alan and great grans girls- Mackenna, Taylor and Ashlynn OrSbOrnE- George. In loving memory of a father and grandfather who passed away September 2, 2010. His memory is our keepsake With which we’ll never part God has him in His keeping We have him in our hearts. Always remembered by Les and Jane, Brian and Pam, Ginny and Phil, Patti, 9 grandchildren and 1 great granddaughter.

In memory of a loving wife who passed away on September 11, 2011. My darling Elaine, my lifetime partner and best friend ... I always feel a warmth around me like your presence is so near, And I close my eyes to visualize your face when you were here. I cherish the times we were together and they are locked within my heart, For as long as I have those memories, we will never be apart. Even though we cannot speak, your voice is always there, Because every night before I sleep, I have you in my prayers.

Junior Panthers look for many hands to contribute to winning atmosphere Youthful squad may have jump on skill development this season AdAm BrAmBurger Staff writer

The existence of a developmental youth basketball program in Prince Edward County may pay dividends for the PECI Junior Basketball Panthers this season. While coaches Rob Garden and Paige Smith have just four Grade 10 players, some 10 of their 13 athletes played either in the Panther Hoops or County Clippers programs, mitigating the difficult transition to the high school hard court game. "It shows, they're definitely a step ahead in terms of their skill and game understanding," Garden said. "We may be ahead on the learning curve as a result." The big payoff would come if the Panthers are able to spread the ball around more to complement star returnee Vanessa Willis, who just made the Kingston Impact junior elite team and will be playing with some of the best basketball players her age in the province. Though Willis can dominate a game with her mix of size and skill, Garden has learned there has to be balance. "We're going to rely heavily on Vanessa this year," he said. "Last year, we focused a lot on running through Vanessa and teams that were well coached keyed in on her. It was not that the other girls couldn't do it, they weren't used to doing it. She'll be more of a distributor to get other girls involved." Garden said he sat down with Willis in June and they

driving the lAne PECI Junior Panther Chloe MacDonald goes in for a lay-up as teammate Allison Hegadorn defends and coach Rob Garden offers instruction during a practice session Monday afternoon. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff) made a decision she'd play junior ball, rather than moving ahead to senior and having to battle harder. "From experience, we may have made a mistake with a few of our other Grade 10s moving them up too quickly," he said. "This is going to be a development year here for her and our senior team is going to be strong enough that we don't have to (move Willis up)." Twins Casey and Allison Hegadorn will also be looked upon to provide leadership and scoring, as will the energetic Lynsey Corbin, who rounds out the returnees. The Panthers also have three other Grade 10 players who didn't suit up last year who already know the grind of high

school life. Of the six Grade 9s who made the cut, Garden said Leah Matthews and Chloe MacDonald have established themselves in early practices as players who can contribute right away. "Leah played with the Belleville Spirits last year and she'll probably be our starting point guard on Day 1," Garden said. "Chloe MacDonald is aggressive and she's not afraid. That's a big deal in junior basketball — Can you play, can you compete with the other kids?" He added he's hopeful a few of the other talented newcomers will be able to get comfortable with the high school scene and step up to make the most of the opportunities available.

The coach noted that all of the players were selected to fill specific duties for the team. "We had 16 girls try out, which is the most we've had for a junior girls team. Paige and I deliberated for hours on who we needed and who we wanted. It came down to which girls filled the certain roles we thought we needed on this team." More specifically, that's players who will play aggressive defence, look to score on turnovers, and

take care of the basketball when in possession. Like their senior counterparts, the junior Panthers are built with more smaller, skilled players and their game will be built around that. "We've put a lot of focus on learning how to shoot and making open shots," Garden said. "Last year, we were a post-based team, but we'll look to ope up the game with more outside shooting. I'd like to see us hit more threes in a game." That offence will, of course, be built on the Panthers' hallmark of defensive effort. Garden said for the first week, his team hasn't worked on offences at all, instead splitting time between defensive systems and core skill development. He reasoned the scoring will develop. "Offence comes, it's more instinctual than it is on the defensive end," he said.

The Panthers will be busy this season. They've entered four tournaments and have high expectations to go deep in the playoffs in the fall, meaning a season of over 25 games is not out of the question. Garden said there's no ceiling if the team believes in itself. "Top four is always our goal and last year we exceeded our expectations to get to a Bay of Quinte final. The girls may believe more than they did before that we can be a championship contender," he said, noting that St. Theresa, Nicholson, and Bayside look to be strong given the movement of rep players but in junior basketball there may be surprises, so no one can take a night off. The Panthers open their regular season at home against Quinte Sept. 22, fresh off a tournament in Kingston.
