Even a rainy day couldn't dampen the 178th Picton Fair. The gem of Prince Edward County came shining through once again in spite of some rainy weather on Saturday. Smiles and laughs on the midway, a Prince Edward Community Centre packed with exhibits and commercial vendors and, of course, an overflow crowd at the demolition derby on Sunday afternoon left fair organizers happy with the event. “We were way up over last year, the attendance was remarkably good, even with the rain on Saturday,” Prince Edward Agricultural Society president Larry Everall told the Gazette Wednesday as his crew continued to dismantle and clean up the fairgrounds. Everall said local merchants sold over ,1800 advance bracelets for midway rides. “They really got on board and the advance sale is good for everyone and we think that had a lot to do with the good attendance,” he said. Organizers tweaked the operation of the fair this year, moving the Saturday night wrestling show into

Her final achievement was making Canada's 1999 Pan American Games track field team. In accepting her induction, Chambers said there were many coaches and school administrators to thank for supporting her on her athletic journey. But at the top of the list were her parents Susan and Donald. “Dad always seemed to say the right thing at the right time. He told me that sports were supposed to be fun and if they weren't, it was probably time to stop,” Chambers said.

Battig named Essroc artist of the year Acrylic painting of Melville Road picked as the best at 2013 Picton Fair Jason Parks

Staff writer

Prince Edward County's newest Essroc Artist of the Year was lauded at the Picton Fair on Friday afternoon. Margret Battig's acrylic entry entitled Melville Road was chosen as this year's top entry and earned the Consecon based artist the trophy that's been handed to the best local painter since 1965. Battig, a retired nurse that had painted mostly watercolours until transitioning to acrylic about two years ago,

was shocked when she heard the news she was the best in show. “There are a lot of really good examples here and I didn't think mine would be the one chosen,” she said. Primarily self taught, the native Swiss moved to Prince Edward County in 1972 and has exhibited he work locally, in Florida and Arizona. Her works reflect her love of flowers, animals and the world around her. Melville Road was crafted from a photograph Battig took last fall.

Barley Days Royal George label makes mark among Canadian competition specializes in paintings of that period. He's known for his close attention to detail." Law said the oil painting really captures the attention more than any of the minimal graphics or text elements on the label and it continues a tradition at Barley Days to use art work. The nod for the award originally came from the members of the Limestone Brewerianist Club, a regional group of people who collect beer bottles, advertising, and promotional items. Its president, Allan Dodd, is known for having one of the biggest collections of stubby beer bottles in North America. Dodd indicated its members don't necessarily have back-

Barley Days Brewery may be a small cog in the Canadian beer industry, but the local craft brewer is making many take notice with colourful labels depicting historical events. The Collectors of Canadian Brewery Advertising recently gave Barley Days its second award in the past five years for the best label printed anywhere in Canada. This year's entry accompanied a specialty brew Barley Days put together to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812 and the fighting that occurred on Lake Ontario. Marketing co-ordinator Peter Law decided that he would talk with Canadian Society of Marine Artists president Paul Adamthwaite about local events that happened in the war and the availability of art depicting those events. Law recalls setting his focus on the flight of the Royal George, which occurred Nov. 9, 1812. Confronted by seven American ships, the Royal George escaped through the

north channel of the lake by Amherst Island to safety. "All we wanted to do was something to commemorate the War of 1812 and its 200th anniversary," said Law. "This happened basically between Wolfe Island and Prince Edward County. We decided we would commemorate that engagement with this beer." Adamthwaite suggested Law contact his longtime friend Peter Rindlisbacher, a marine artist based in Amherstburgh, Ontario to use one of his pieces of art

depicting that battle. The painting "Royal George Battle off Kingston" depicts red-coated British and Loyalist shoulders on the north shore of Lake ontario manning their guns as the large Royal George is confronted by the smaller American vessels. It was the only time in the war when the Kingston area came under fire by enemy guns and is considered by histori-

ans a major naval victory. Adamthwaite said it was great to hear that Rindlisbacher, the son of a ship builder and a commercial artist, helped Barley Days win acclaim this year. "Peter is a member of the Canadian Society of Marine Artists, which we brought back from the west coast to Picton about 10 years ago. Peter was one of the first Lake Ontario artists and he

Proctor encourages colleagues to broaden committee’s scope Councillor suggests McFarland Home management body should also be looking at broader long-term care issues Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

Council's committee of the whole will continue to oversee operations at H.J. McFarland Memorial Home as committee of management, but at least one councillor believes that role should involve more discussion on long-term care issues. Back in April councillor Barbara Proctor requested a staff report to assess the value of creating a new committee of management for long-term care, and outline the legislated responsibilities and accountability of council in its operation of municipal long-term care homes. On Tuesday that report was presented to councillors where staff recommended that committee of the whole continue to operate as the committee of management. Ultimately the majority of councillors agreed, but requested that all McFarland Home reports come to committeeof-the-whole meetings rather than straight to regular council meetings to allow more time for discussion. Proctor said her intent was to bring awareness of the committee's responsibilities to the attention of fellow councillors.

“There's going to be a lot of activity around the longterm care facility, McFarland Home, in the next 10 years and we have an opportunity – as council and as a committee of management – to openly concentrate and engage,” she said. Proctor said councillors have an opportunity to engage the Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) and comment on long-term care issues where they don't have the same luxury with acute care issues. “It's important that we use that opportunity and become more focused on long-term care,” she said. She said a more active committee of management could help press issues. “We've already request-

ed an additional 44 beds for McFarland Home and the LHIN has not responded to us yet,” she said. “That's something that council could focus on because we have to really preserve our long-term care facility. It's part of the continuum of care.” Proctor said rather than simply receiving quarterly reports from McFarland Home, councillors should be engaging in more significant discussion on issues. Although she agreed with Proctor that long-term care is an important issue, councillor Bev Campbell didn't agree with creating another committee to oversee the home. “While I don't agree with the notion of creating another committee to oversee this, it struck me that it

might be wise for our periodic reports from McFarland Home ... to come to committee of the whole just to give it a higher profile with us and more of an opportunity as a group to make enquiries,” Campbell said. The report presented on Tuesday outlined some benefits and drawbacks to creating a new committee of management. Among the benefits was the possibility of greater, lengthier discussions, and a select small number of elected representatives would come to understand long-term case issues very well. Among the drawbacks, staff said, would be a lack of knowledge of the issues for those who don't sit on the committee, and it would add another layer of

bureaucracy. Proctor made the motion to have the reports come to

committee of the whole in the future, which was approved.

PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY

Looking back in the

Picton Gazette 80 years ago — 1933

While doing work on the Thompson farm at Bethel, a group of workers foiled a plan to set fire to a barn. The men found love matches wired to sheaves that could have been used to set the barn on fire and to damage all of Thompson’s buildings given the wind. The matter was placed in the hands of police. The people on Bethel Road were hoping the police would find the culprit of several, mysterious activities along the road over a two-year period, many forms of theft. A colourful history lesson was planned for visitors to the Picton fair as a staged recreation of the historic 1874 Mohawk landing on the Bay of Quinte was to be staged in front of the grandstand. Special lower admission fees were offered for that night’s performance. Garfield Mayne of West Lake reported a three-eared kitten was born on his farm. The odd curiosity was to be displayed at the Picton fair for all to see.

60 years ago — 1953

Some 173 guests attended a dinner meeting as the Picton Kiwanis Club officially received its charter from the organization’s district governor Melbourne Osborne. President Carl Reid accepted the charter on behalf of the fledgling club. Mayor H.J. McFarland brought in some highly touted entertainment from Toronto including the Commodores Quartet to mark the special occasion. The McFarland Construction Company cashed in with the tender to complete the Kingston bypass highway from Cataraqui to Hwy 15 at a cost of $1 million. The bypass was expected to relieve congestion on many streets in downtown Kingston. Work was under way for the construction of a development road connecting Milford and Cherry Valley. The rebuilt road was expected to cost the province more than $40,000 to complete.

40 years ago — 1973

Two men died as part of the first marine disaster involving loss of life in county waters in over 50 years. The bodies of Eric Breau of Stirling and Emanuel Powers of Trenton, crew members on the Canadian Coast Guard launch 112 were found after an extensive search just south of West Point after the ship sank in Athol Bay in high winds and 12-foot high waves. The ship had been responding to distress calls from a yacht which managed to make its way to safe harbour. Prince Edward County municipalities were set to see the financial benefit of Bell Canada’s gross receipt taxes increasing by 52 per cent as municipalities earned money due to the amount of phone installations within their boundaries.

20 years ago — 1993

Trenton’s Adam Fisher received the nod to carry the NDP banner into the federal election.The 48-year-old journalist had previously been an aid worker in central America. He joined MP Lyle Vanclief, Progressive Conservative candidate Jim Hughes, Reform candidate Marjorie Foster, and National Party candidate Christian Kosman in that year’s race. Four county residents including two suspects under the age of 18 were charged in connection the theft of two rifles, a shotgun, and a television set from an Athol home. Police offered no speculation on the motive behind the thefts.

A pleasant time at Pleasant Bay

We had seen the loon earlier in the distance as we paddled across Pleasant Bay. However, we forgot about it as we struggled to get through the incredible forest of wild rice that has become Pleasant Bay this year. As we looked at the bare stalks and empty seed hulls, we marvelled at how those who enjoy harvesting wild rice can possibly succeed before the red-winged blackbirds consume it while it is still green. Open water was just ahead, and after another 15 exhausting minutes of breaking a trail through the wild rice, we emerged triumphantly into clear, open water. The swim in nearby Lake Ontario would be refreshing. As we listened to a bevy of chattering marsh wrens echoing across the water from a cattail edge in the distance, we spotted an isolated island of cattails. A small cattail mass had broken off in a wind from the shoreline a few years ago, we were told, lodging itself where its journey ended, and had continued to grow. In the middle, a pocket of phragmites stood tall above the cattails, and if wild rice is a concern to residents now, the phragmites will sound the death knell for Pleasant Bay in decades to come, perhaps sooner, if the bar along Weller’s Bay is any indication. This invasive plant, also known as common reed, has already sealed off a once navigable channel through the bar at Wellers Bay and has started islands of its own in the shallows. Suddenly, right beside us, our discussion of what the future of this bay might hold was curtly interrupted by a loon that surfaced right beside our canoe. It might be anthropomorphic to suggest that the loon we had seen earlier had intentionally surfaced to frighten the wits out

TERRY SPRAGUE of us. It seemed that way, or perhaps he was more alarmed by surfacing where he did, so close to us. In any event, he favoured us with a resounding tremulous vibrato. This laughing call was clearly an alarm call and right away we knew that we were trespassers. Then he did something I had never seen before, other than from a distance or on TV nature shows. He stood erect and with wings flapping madly, paddled across the surface of the water several times before settling back down each time into a swimming position. What a treat to see this spectacular display almost within arm’s reach. We were impressed with the strength of this loon that kept him erect for such a long period of time as he danced on the water’s surface. We stayed for three days at Pleasant Bay, setting up our trailer in a village surrounded by modular homes, park trailers, 5th-wheels, seasonal trailers and overnighters, known as Bay Meadows Park. Before we even got fully set up, residents were making their way to our site, introducing themselves and extolling the virtues of their gated community. What makes this park so appealing to us is another yet undeveloped 65 acres of over-

grown agricultural fields and its maize of mowed walking trails. I walked all of them every morning as savannah sparrows, song sparrows, towhees, and the occasional tardy bobolink that hadn’t yet migrated, provided company. As the trails approached the shoreline marsh, the contingent of birdlife gave way to swamp sparrows, redwinged blackbirds and marsh wrens. The best walk, however, was our exploration of the sand bar that runs from North Beach Park to Huyck’s Bay and separates Pleasant Bay from Lake Ontario. Created some 12,000 years ago from sediment left behind in what is now Lake Ontario by the retreat of the Wisconsin Glacier, the deposits drifted ashore with the prevailing southwesterlies, and created this narrow sand bar, much like the currents did at Sandbanks. The sand is identical to that at Sandbanks, and plant life here too is the same – the wormwood, starry false Solomon’s seal, wild grape and likely the buttery petals of hoary puccoon, too. It is more wild here, more remote, and sadly, with uncontrolled access. ATVs and 4 X 4s are present, garbage is strewn everywhere, and the sensitive habitat shows it is hurting with numerous campfires, evidence of camping, and damaged dunes, and with it, a damaged sensitive ecosystem. It is sad, as this baymouth bar, with its unstable dunes, is fragile. Hikers tend to walk closer to the water’s edge so damaging foot tracks, except on one established trail, are few. Our stay at Bay Meadows was like being in a village, but still rural enough to be appealing. Every morning we woke up to the sound of a rooster from the farm across the road. But that was often the only sound we heard at

5:00 a.m. except for a few residents heading off to work. Many of the residents are retirees, the rest of them here on holidays as we were, or weekend visitors. Most have little interest in getting up before the sun, so I was pretty much alone at that hour. It would be a few hours before I would see movement around the recreation hall or on the short gravel streets that make up this community. I had the swimming pool all to myself most mornings. It’s not provincial park camping for sure, but neither is living in a 26-foot travel trailer with microwave and TV, and access to Internet considered camping. We set up often in trailer parks as it forms a staging area for us from which to radiate out and explore natural areas in the region. We don’t usually spend much time at the trailer itself, although we enjoy devoting some time to hobnobbing with the residents. Later this fall we will be spending a week at the Castleton Hills Trailer Park, north of Cobourne and re-visiting some special natural areas there, including Red Cloud Cemetery, Peter’s Woods, the Northumberland Forest and the Alderville Black Oak Savannah. The camaraderie at these trailer parks and communities is hard to beat. Arms were waving from several locations as we hooked up our trailer and prepared to move out. Others came to assist as we endeavoured to get our unit from our site without taking out the neighbour’s satellite dish!

QUEBEC’s governing Parti Quebecois has introduced its plans to table something it calls the Quebec values charter, but one could be forgiven for wondering if it would uphold any values at all. The legislation would ban public servants from doing their jobs while wearing overt religious symbols — the likes of large crosses, hijabs, and turbans — yet it would permit other blatant symbols of similar religions, like smaller crosses or jewelry containing religious imagery. The law would also require anyone receiving state services to uncover his or her face, though instead of framing that discussion as a question of safety, it appears that Quebec is raising that as a question of shared values. It would appear far more appropriate for the Quebec government to simply impose a dress code for its employees that makes no mention of religion or particular symbols, but places restrictions on the size of jewelry or the extent of headgear, regardless of the images one might choose to express given their Charter rights and freedoms. In the lead up to the announcement of this plan, government officials talked about the risk that someone working in a publicly funded day care could influence children to take up religious beliefs and actions simply based on the clothing they wear and the amount of religious symbols they show while working on the job with young people. The argument is ridiculous. It downplays the deep value people who are spiritual put on their chosen faith and it also discounts the notion that parents across Quebec have the ability to instill their own values in their own children, whom the government apparently believes will copy a teacher whom they might be fearful of. Lawmakers there must either have some really horrible experiences of the past influences of church on state in their province or great xenophobia toward those who weren’t raised in their circumstances. Perhaps both. Instead of a ban on non-secular talk and imagery, maybe the people of Quebec should go the complete opposite direction and start encouraging a dialogue that will allow them to understand their emerging diversity and appreciate different voices instead of fearing them, stifling them, and oppressing voices. One can be Catholic, one can be Hindu, one can Islamic, or one can be agnostic, yet they can all contribute to their society in their own positive way, guided by their own personal values yet they can all be Canadians. They could all be Quebecers. They could contribute to any society and add much more because of their own upbringings and their own personal interpretations of values. Throughout history, state-imposed sets of value haven’t exactly proven to add much to the countries who have adopted them. Though it may seem like a small gesture to make the public service appear neutral, Quebec’s latest attempt makes a bold statement. It isn’t something people should sit idly by and let proceed without a fight.

September brings engaging new library programs

In addition to the library’s participation in the Picton, Milford, and Ameliasburgh fairs in September, there are exciting new programs and events beginning this month. On Tuesday, Sept. 17 at 1 p.m. the Friends of the Wellington Library are holding a benefit bridge with dessert and bridge for only $8 per person. Contact Dianne at 613-399-2023 to reserve a table for this fundraiser. The library is also launching a series of lectures on the third Thursday of each month. The first two will be at the Picton branch, but others will be held in various branches or, if more space is needed, in community halls. “Understanding Proportional Representation”, is the first in the line up on Thursday, Sept. 19 at 7 p.m. Norm Hart, a member of Fair Vote Canada who holds a bachelor’s degree in political science and English and a master’s degree in public administration from the University of Western Ontario, will explain the difference between the ‘first-past-thepost’ and proportional representation voting systems in this engaging talk that will include an interactive example. Starting Friday, Sept. 20 and running for six consecutive Fridays at 12:15, the library will offer TED talks on the big screen in the downstairs meeting room at the Picton branch. Feel free to bring your lunch and stay for a discussion afterward. The first TED talk “The Case for Collaborative Consumption”, is a 17minute video of Rachel Botsman, co-author of What's Mine is Yours: How Collaborative Consumption Is Changing The Way We Live. The following Friday, Sept. 27, the TED Talk will be by Wofford College president Ben Dunlap as he tells the story of Sandor Teszler, a Hungarian Holocaust survivor who taught him about passionate living and lifelong learning. We will also be screening the short inspiring TED Talk by Lisa Bu on “How Books Can Open Your Mind”. The library welcomes suggestions for TED Talks for weeks 3 to 6. Also running the same

Finally council appears ready to solve controversy over its own size

Finally, there seems to be a resolution to the matter of number of Council members at Shire Hall! Before I moved from the county a few years back, this was a never-ending controversy. At that time, I mentioned (by letter to the editor) that London, with a population of 380,000 had l4 people on council including the mayor, or less. Also, the Prince Edward County. Concerned Citizens' Group went to great lengths to find a solution to this dilemma. After much work on their part, they came up with what seemed to be a good and logical

solution to the problem. This reduced the number. of council members, and also changed the ward boundaries somewhat. They also had a new map drawn up, but council wanted no part of any of it! This was all done at no cost to taxpayers by educated, professional people — so much for input from the taxpaying public! It is nice to see there has been a change of heart, it is long overdue. Hopefully, this trend will continue and council will co-operate on future issues as well. Louise Donahue. St. Thomas

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

More perspectives are available than just QHC angle

On Thursday last, the Belleville Intelligencer newspaper hosted a "live" online chat interview with Mary Clare Egbert, President & CEO of Quinte Healthcare Corporation ( QHC ). The program was hosted by Jason Miller, Intelligencer reporter, and was ostensibly to allow participants to ask questions and receive answers to their concerns about the hospitals of QHC and the health care they are entitled to and should be receiving. In an online format one brings up the Intelligencer site on one's computer and then types in questions to which Egberts responds. If you don't own a computer or have access to one, you are out of luck! One of the problems with the presentation is that whereas it is touted as "live", since one cannot see either Miller or Egberts one

has no way of knowing if either is actually there or if, in the case of QHC, their public relations apparatus is producing the answers. Certainly the quality of the answers leads one to believe the latter. The greatest problem with Thursday's program is the lack of balance. There was no one present to offer an opposing view. Egberts got to tell her story; no one else got to tell theirs. As a consequence, Miller’s program was naturally biased. And so Jason becomes the unwitting or perhaps not so unwitting, perpetrator,of the QHC "story" once again. A question was selected, assumedly by Miller or by Bill Glisky, the apparent producer of the chat, from a number earlier submitted online about the wait times in the emergency waiting room. The answer referred to the need for improvement

and the work, time, and effort being put in to lessen such wait times and the progress being made. All fine stuff but of no consequence to one such as my wife who attended an 11 a.m. appointment ( on time) to see her orthopaedic surgeon and finally got into see him at 3 p.m. and then only because she got up at 2 p.m. to resolve the problem. A neighbour of ours was there even longer until we interceded. What is needed is analysis of these problem areas of the hospital. If one orthopaedic surgeon is required to treat emergency patients under the policy that the sickest get treated first, then a second is required to handle the case load of that surgeon's practice in knee and hip replacements and other orthopaedic surgeries. You can't cut it by doubling the work load of the first surgeon.

It's not good enough to say "We do know that QHC is close to and in some times better than the provincial target for emergency room wait times". Administrative answers won't suffice; we're dealing with people, not boxes of toilet paper or quarters of beef. The concern about QHC's implementation of its philosophy is shared by many but we and others are not given equal time. It seems to me that the Belleville Intelligencer could, if it wanted, ferret out those of us who are dissatisfied with what is happening to our hospital in Picton and get our story in addition to QHC's. We know that QHC does not care but does the Belleville Intelligencer?

Prime Minister Stephen Harper in referring to the current Syrian misuse of chemicals as "a precedent that humanity will regret for generations to come " if Syrian Government facilities are not attacked, ignores that the slaying of civilians by means of chemicals has occurred in the past by the United States and its allies of the day, Iraq and Israel..

Ignored as well is that no substantive proof has been evidenced as yet the chemical used was that of the Assad Government rather than American-backed rebels. Existing international law is this, "The authority to employ the last resort and intervene militarily rests solely with United Nations Security Council". Canada is supporting the concept that an individual

country or group of countries can act to engage militarily in the internal affairs of another country without United Nations sanction. And that the making of such a decision can be made by executive decision without agreement by a country's legislature. Canadians have long supported the United Nations. It is sad this positive role may well be in the

process of being cast aside through supporting a precedent undermining the position of the United Nations, inviting chaos as a precedent for others to employ as justification for their actions, and which no one knows to what extent what has been a Syrian civil war may grow into international conflict.

In response to Gary Mooney’s letter last week about speaking up, I would like to add my voice in support. Whatever is decided, the idea of the three daughters of George III — Amelia, Sophia and Mary — disappearing from the County

would be an unthinkable loss. All three deserve to remain as distinct wards. Beyond this distinction, residents and voters of each of the wards voted for the Councillor to represent them and their interests. To be sure, the current law does not require resi-

dence in the ward , just County, but surely if one is elected in say Picton the wishes of the ward voters would expect representation from that area. As it stands today, this is not so as witness many present and past voting patterns of councillors.

In the election to come, I hope voters will insist that the councillor they elect resides in the ward , listen to the wishes and vote according .

a Challenge County artist Mile Murtanovski will again stay awake for longer than

100 hours completing black and white ink paintings. While last December Murtanovski did portraits, this year he will be looking to capture some of the county essence. (Submitted photo)

Murtanovski asks what it central to living in his community

Local artist takes on county life Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

What's makes Prince Edward County special? That is the central question behind a new art project being undertaken by county artist Milé Murtanovski. Titled County 101: What's your Prince Edward County?, the project will look to capture a broad depiction of what residents see as central to county living. Starting at 5 p.m. on Nov. 18, Murtanovski will spend 101 straight hours painting 101 black and white ink paintings which will depict subject matter suggested by county residents. The marathon painting session will wrap up on Nov. 22 at 9 p.m. Murtanovski is no stranger to feats of paint. Last December the artist stayed awake for 100 straight hours painting 100 black and white ink portraits of friends and strangers with half the proceeds donated to The Firelight Lantern Festival. Earlier this year he wrapped up a 33-day journey along Hwy. 33 creating one painting of the county each day. “On Hwy. 33 I picked all the subjects according to what I found visually interesting, but obviously that's not comprehensive and — since I was only on Hwy. 33 — it was even more limited,” Murtanovski said. The Small Pond Arts coowner said he did last year's marathon as a challenge to himself; to see if he could finish 100 portraits in 100 hours without sleep.

Murtanovski said the latest project is a sort of extension of the 33-on-33 theme with the added challenge. “Now I want to open it up to county residents to tell me what they think is P.E.C. to them,” he said. “… It's a challenge to me as always.” While there will be breaks for meals and rest, there won't be any sleeping. “I'll be able to have lunch, have a shower, maybe go outside for a walk a bit — it helped last year when I did things like that,” he said. “It didn't prevent me from staying on track.” Murtanovski said last year the most challenging time came from 4–6 a.m. when it's coldest and darkest, adding that it's easy to stay awake in the daylight hours. Coffee helps, he said. “Lots of coffee, I tried energy drinks — I don't know how successful they were — but coffee, and Coke sometimes because you want something more refreshing that's cold,” he said. He said he also spread small meals throughout the day. “If you have a large meal, like a big pasta dinner, that will just make you sleepy,” he said. “Also, since I knew I'd be awake all night, I didn't want a regular three meals and then nothing at night because you really get hungry at night.” Murtanovski is calling on residents to provide a person, place, or thing that they see as representative of Prince Edward County.

He asked that they also provide a sentence or two for context. The suggestions should be submitted to mm@smallpondarts.ca. They can either be a simple description or include a photo. “It's almost like taking a poll and at the end of it — ideally — we'll have sort of an overall picture of what makes Prince Edward County special,” he said. “I know we all have our own interpretations, but this will be a nice overview.” On Oct. 9 one person who has sent in a suggestion will be chosen at random to win one of the paintings. Half the proceeds from the project will be donated to Puppets Without Borders, a program which brings the world of puppetry to underprivileged children in rural villages in Ghana. The program is organized by Murtanovski's wife and Small Pond Arts co-owner Krista Dalby, along with Susanne Larner. Murtanovski said Puppets Without Borders is an excellent project, but one that he can't fully participate in. “It's something that I can't really participate in because only one of us can be away for extended periods from Small Pond,” he said. “I'm really happy she's done it, but also happy she's going back because the results were evident in all the pictures of all the smiling kids.” Murtanovski hinted that the County 101 project could finish with an exhibition for the 101 creations.

Committee of the whole recommends revival of code of conduct Chad Ibbotson Staff writer

After another lengthy discussion, councillors have revived their code of conduct. The code of conduct was recommended for council approval by a vote of 8-7 at Tuesday's committee-of-thewhole meeting after much debate. Councillor Dianne O'Brien was absent from the meeting. Approval of the code of conduct â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which outlined councillors' roles and responsibilities and detailed expected behaviours for the mayor and council â&#x20AC;&#x201C; previously failed in a recoded vote of 105 at a March 12 council meeting.

the Code Councillors will again discuss whether to install a code of conduct for coun-

cil members at their upcoming Sept. 24 council meeting. The code received little support the last time it appeared before council, being defeated in a 10â&#x20AC;&#x201C;5 vote. (Chad Ibbotson/Gazette staff)

The code was back at Shire Hall on Tuesday at the request of councillor Kevin Gale. In an e-mail dated July 24 that was provided on on Tuesday's agenda, Gale points to a departure from

patience, our temper and everything else,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What I've found over the past year or so is as councillors we're engaging one another more often and in some ways (are) disrespectful to one another..â&#x20AC;? Gale said sometimes councillors have appeared to get into debates with residents making deputations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need a code that our mayor can manage council on,â&#x20AC;? he said. Gale said he recently visited Queen's Park in Toronto where he said conduct among members of provincial parliament was less than cordial. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you want to see something that's downright embarrassing, go and watch those guys,â&#x20AC;? Gale said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;... You want to talk about disrespect. We're certainly not at that level and if anyone needs a code of conduct it's Queen's Park because it's childish. We're not at that point and I don't want to see us at that point.â&#x20AC;? Mayor Peter Mertens said while the municipality's procedure bylaw outlines municipal process, the code with deal directly with the conduct of members of council and includes a complaint procedure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To suggest that the procedure bylaw deals with all elements of behaviour is a fallacy. You can make the comment that the mayor, all he has to do is enforce the procedure bylaw and all the problems disappear, but it's not that simple,â&#x20AC;? he said. Mertens said he can ask a member of council to curb disrespectful behaviour, but if that member does not, his only remedy is to ask that member to leave the meeting. He said the code of conduct could provide a middle ground before a problem gets to that point. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is holding ourselves

to a higher standard,â&#x20AC;? Mertens said. There was no shortage of opinions at Tuesday's meeting with councillors nearly evenly split on the code issue. Councillor Brian Marisett was among those who felt the code would be redundant and would reduce transparency. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to keep in mind the importance of transparency. The procedure bylaw addresses all the concerns I've heard and it's dealt with at the horseshoe transparently, not in an office,â&#x20AC;? he said. He said he would have no problem having the mayor remove councillors who are being disruptive under the provisions of the procedure bylaw. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I still don't understand the need for this document and I do have concerns,â&#x20AC;? Marisett said. Marisett said he couldn't envision a scenario where the code could be used. Councillor Keith MacDonald questioned the need for a code. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After 100 years of wardens and now mayors, what ever brought this on?â&#x20AC;? he asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;... I've been a warden, years ago, and I would feel that I lost a little bit of control over what's taking place around this horseshoe if I had to come up with something like this.â&#x20AC;? The latest incarnation of the code included one major change in an amendment which removed reference to an informal complaint procedure. The informal procedure involved several steps that could be taken to dissuade members of council from contravening the code before taking any complaint to a formal complaint procedure. The issue will again be up for debate at the Sept. 24 regular council meeting.

The Loyalist Humane Society recently got its paws on $7,395 thanks to the generous support of patrons and staff at the Picton PetValu store. The store recently held is annual PAWS campaign where customers are able to donate money to have their names put on a decorative paw in the store window to commemorate the gifts they made to the humane society. Customers gave as much as $20 per paw as they helped the Picton store to raise the third most money of all the chain's locations in Canada. "We have wonderful, wonderful customers," said PetValu owner Tricia Daley.

ST. GREGORY’S CELEBRATES 120

A committee of St. Gregory The Great parishioners (left) has been working hard on this Sunday’s celebration of 120 years since the dedication of the current brick and stone Roman Catholic Church, which was designed by renowned Irish architect Joseph Connolly on land granted by Anglican Rev. William Macaulay in 1893. The Most Rev. Brendan O’Brien, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Kingston will join the parish for Mass at 10 a.m. He will also dedicate a new church organ. Following the mass, there will be a Victorian style luncheon complete with games, old photos, a silent auction, a parish video, and a special anthem composed by choir director Greg Garrett. -Adam Bramburger, Staff

Brewery also won in 2009 with May Bock

LABEL, from page 3

He said, typically, regional groups from across Canada would put their favourite labels forward and advocate for them before a panel of their collecting peers. Dodd indicated he and other delegates would also take bottles of their favourites and trade them, allowing craft producers like Barley Days a larger audience across the country. Previously, Barley Days earned the top honours in 2009 for its May Bock seasonal label which pays tribute to farming in Prince Edward County, using well-known artist Manly MacDonald's painting of a team of horses pulling a farming implement during the "barley days" period. Initially, owner Nora Rogers came up with the idea to have MacDonald's paintings featured prominently on the brewery's early labels to tie in the history of the county on the products. Next summer, the Collectors will hand out their 31st label of the year award at a convention to be held right in Kingston. The Barley Days Brewery isn't tipping its hand about what might be in the works, but one would imagine they'd want to have a label feature prominently in the 2014 contest.

Organizers try to keep focus on agriculture

Crowds gathered as usual to watch the annual lawn mower pulls as well as a race but Everall said organizers were impressed by the crowds that shrugged off the weather to take in the mini horse show and the draft horse pulls on Saturday. Overall, Everall said the organizers work hard to balance the the fair and make sure it appeals to young and old. “We are trying to keep it agricultural. It's a county fair and the initial intent was to showcase the best Prince Edward County has to offer. It will never be Canada's Wonderland and it's a challenge to keep everyone happy, so we are trying to balance it,” he said. “We are extremely happy. It exceeded all our expectations and while there were a few criticisms, all in all it was very positive weekend.

Committee approves firm to do bridge replacement ChadIbbotson

Staff writer

As the municipality gets set to undertake a major bridge replacement, committee of the whole has recommended that council approve the firm who will provide engineering services for the project. AECOM was recom-

mended to be awarded the design and contract administration for the County Rd. 14 bridge replacement at a cost of $100,035 plus HST. The contract will be before council on Sept. 24. The request for proposal (RFP) for the work was issued in June and closed on

July 9. Approximately 83 per cent of the actual construction work – $1.2 million – will be paid for by the province after a successful application to the Municipal Infrastructure Investment Initiative capital program. The bridge will be designed this year and construction is expected to begin in fall next year. The work on the bridge, which crosses Demorestville Creek, was fast-tracked after council received a report from the engineering, development, and works department outlining its poor condition and recommendation that a weight restriction be put in place. A report presented to committee of the whole says

A friend recently asked me why so many impatiens are dying in the County and what she could do about hers that are not doing well. Unfortunately, the once disease-free Impatiens walleriana have developed a new downy mildew disease (plasmopara obducens) which is specific to only Impatiens walleriana . This is the typical variety of impatiens that we use so much in shade gardens. Many plants are susceptible to downy mildew pathogens which are generally not considered a major disease threat, however, downy mildew of impatiens is different as it quickly kills the plants. It begins as a subtle leaf yellowing followed by leaves curling downward appearing as though the plant needs watering. When conditions are humid, a white coating on the undersides of the leaves will appear. These are fungal spores. The plants will gradually drop their flowers and leaves and eventually the stems will collapse and the plant will die. If early signs of downy mildew are spotted, you should remove the affected plant material including the roots immediately and remove it from the site.

Infected plant material should be put in the garbage not composted. New infections will occur when there is a light coating of moisture on the plants for a few hours. New infections will not occur when the weather is dry. Rain will increase the spread of the fungal spores as will overhead watering, especially at night and shady or crowded conditions. Fungal spores are also borne on the wind and can overwinter in the soil. Impatiens walleriana should not be planted next year in the same space. Given that this disease is specific to this plant you should not be concerned about neighboring plants like roses or petunas becoming affected or about putting other plants in the space for next year. Balsam impatiens (I. balsamina) are susceptible but the symptoms are limited to yellow leaf spots. New Guinea impatiens are not affected by this disease at all which make them a good alternative for next year’s planting.

a technical evaluation committee was established to evaluate all proposals received. A score was allocated each for the consultants similar project experience, proposed project manager, project staff, and personnel experience and qualifications, proposed methodology for the assignment, and the price. “The committee allocated the highest score to the firm of AECOM based on their submission in response to the County’s RFP,” the report says. “Accordingly, the technical committee recommends awarding this assignment to AECOM.” The estimated engineering costs for the project are within the budget allocation for the bridge project.

Grandparents offer primary care for more than 20,000 Ontario children

According to Ontario Health Promotion, increasing numbers of Canadian grandparents are raising their grandchildren, either with the parents or by themselves in what is called a "skip generation" household. In 2001, 57,000 grandparents were raising their grandchildren on their own - a significant increase over the previous decade (Statistics Canada 2001). Read more at www.ohpe.ca According to the web site of Grand-Parenting Again Canada, grandparents of over 20,000 Ontario children find themselves in the role of primary caregivers,. Individuals raising extended family members often do not receive much (if any) child support, and are rarely considered for provincial assistance, including reduced childcare or recreational / sports programs, or even Legal Aid. Many grandparents often have to provide for

their grandchildren well into retirement, stretching their financial resources. Grand-Parenting Again Canada is an organization that is aware of the challenges that extended family members raising related children face and offer relevant support and guidance

along with advocacy efforts to bring this issue to the fore in the province. You can find more information at online by searching “grandparenting again Canada”. CANGRANDS is another Canadian organization that supports grandparents who are raising their grandchildren. According to the CANGRANDS website approximately 62,500 children are being raised by “kin” in Canada. Most of these children are being raised by a grandmother or aunt who is retired with very low income. CANGRANDS mission states that the organization “shall act as an independent, not-for-profit organization to carry out activities, which empower Kin caregiver families who raise grandchildren. CANGRANDS shall seek and involve citizens as it identifies and work to overcome the inequalities and injustices which exist within

society for Kin caregivers families who are raising theirs or someone else’s children. CANGRANDS shall advocate for equitable policies for Kin caregiver families. CANGRANDS shall operate in an accountable, professional manner with confidentiality for all involved.” Find more information at their web site www.cangrands.com There are other resources available on the Internet for grandparents.

Heirloom tomato harvest just beginning at Vicki’s Tasting festival is only beginning of farm’s busy fall season AdAm BrAmBurger

Staff writer

More than 1,200 people visited Vicki’s Veggies on Morrison Point Road earlier this month for the Heirloom Hurrah tomato tasting festival. That, however, was just the beginning of the busy season for the organic farm, not its conclusion. “The tomatoes are just coming on now,” said farmer Tim Noxon. “September is always the biggest time for tomatoes. A lot of people think it is in June when they’re first ready, but they don't start in a big way until September. It it wasn't for the frost, the heirloom tomatoes would keep producing.” This year, Noxon said the farm has had its best growing season ever and with warm September days, it shows no signs of stopping. The season started two

other vegetable better. This year, they planted more than 8,000 heirloom plants in more than 280 different varieties. A new addition — a drip irrigation system installed after a dry 2012 — has helped ensure there was moisture whenever it was needed and temperate weather has helped as well. Noxon said some of the heirloom varieties are heartier than others and they all experience different growing seasons, but he indicated they typically offer fruit much later than commercial plants. This year, Vicki’s also had the special highlight of adding a few new tomatoes to its tasting tables — the striped sweetheart, the little pink stripe, and a special variety that may only be found in their collection, the Black Crick tomato. Vicki Emlaw explains that normally her crews don’t identify the heirloom tomatoes they harvest, except for the tasting weekend and the seed sale. Last fall, while identifying tomatoes, they found one that didn’t necessarily fit any known description. “We have looked at all the

different sizes, varieties, colours and stripes and we picked a tomato that was nobodies. We called it our own,” she said. Emlaw said the Black Crick tomato is somewhere between a cherry tomato and a salad tomato in size and has a “black” skin, which is their terminology for a darker red colour. “It’s very flavourful, a beautiful tomato,” she said. Emlaw said after last year’s tastings, her crew saved a lot of seeds from the new mystery tomato to allow them to be planted this year. While she said it may be her new favourite variety, Emlaw hesitated to recommend it as the tomato everyone should try, instead commenting that most visitors to her tastings ultimately can’t agree on just one variety. “Everybody comes looking for something different,” she said, adding a lot of people like lighter skinned heirloom tomatoes because they don’t have the acidity they’ve come to expect from tomatoes. This year, some people also visited the Heirloom Hurrah to enjoy new additions like a prepared food area serving local organic creations and a children’s area with a bouncy castle and zip-lining. While Vicki’s may be known for its roadside stand and heirloom tomatoes, Noxon said the farm is also busily working on several projects this fall. It regularly sends custom produce to Toronto markets and restaurants — last weekend, it shipped 3,000 lb out — and work is underway to further extend the growing season. The farm is experimenting with a cold frame that will help extend its plantings a month earlier and a month later in the year and it has also received a Prince Edward/Lennox and Addington Social Services grant to build a cold storage that will allow it to store and ship fresh produce into the winter months. “It’s creating a cash flow and for a small farm, that’s a big thing,” said Noxon.

Track star considers 1999 Winnipeg Pan Am Games highlight of her career HALL, from page 1

While her father was an overarching influence, her mother had a more hands on approach to her athletic career. “I'm not sure she knew what she was getting herself into when she started driving me to Belleville once a week to take part in a one hour gymnastics class,” Chambers said. That once a week turned into three times. Then it was decided Kingston was the best place to train and soon, Susan was driving Rebecca to practice sessions five times a week, 11 months a year for

seven years. “She made that sacrifice so I could live at home, be with my friends in the County and still pursue my athletic goals. Without her sacrifice, none of this would be possible,” she added.

didn't leave for the entire ceremony.” In competition, she felt at ease going into the games and took comfort in the fact no one had trained as hard as her. Over 15,000 fans cheered her name every time she took the pole and lined up her subsequent attempt. A strained Achilles tendon would shorten her day and leave her just five cm from her personal best. That's where a unique connection puts a spin on the final international event of her career. “I was being taken off the field on a golf cart towards the medical tent when I hear my name called,” she explained. Along the fence, Chambers saw Craig Thompson, a PECI alum and Phillip Noble, a fellow student from her days at Athol Central School shouting and cheering. “That really made it feel like a home crowd to me. No matter where I've been in the world, coming back to Prince Edward County has always felt like coming back home and this will always be my home.” In football, receivers take predetermined routes to hopefully evade the defence and reach their goal of catching a thrown pass from the quarterback. Those are one kind of football routes. Another kind of route is the path one takes to professional football. And Dan Dulmage took an almost impossible route to this country's biggest stage when it comes to the pro game.

Sample Size Betsy Cole and Mike Samples read a football signed by the 2013 Hamilton Tiger Cats presented to Dan Dulmage to mark his induction to the Prince Edward County Sports Hall of Fame.. (Jason Parks/Gazette staff)

A two year stint with the Hamilton Tiger Cats and a standout Canadian Collegiate career was born from a single season of football at PECI. Football was reintroduced to the local secondary school in the late 1960's and, at first, PECI was only going to field a junior team. However, senior students got together and made their case to the late Dick Sutton, a revered PECI educator and the older players got their wish-with the caveat they must share the equipment with the junior team. In spite of only having one season of football under his belt, Dulmage was granted an opportunity to join the McGill Redmen Football team while he studied at the Montreal university. Dulmage would transfer Western, helping the Mustangs to a Vanier Cup in 1971 when he was a Canadian

First University All Star and an All Canadian defensive end. After his collegiate career came to a close, Dulmage would stay at the school, completing his studies in the field of dentistry. While he would complete his education, Dulmage would join the Tabbies and take the place of perennial All star Angelo Mosca on the Hamilton defensive line In introducing Dulmage, fellow retired Ti Cat Mike Samples described the South Bay native as a gentle giant and remarked at how extraordinary his path to the CFL was. “I had been playing organized football since the age of nine,” said the 11 year pro. “And here's this guy who started when he was 17 or 18. That's truly unbelievable in the world of football.” Dulmage thanked all the people the took time to coach

and transport him around to and from games in his younger days when he was home on the family farm on Babylon road. A softball pitcher of some note when he was growing up, he recalled the time he had his younger sister back catch for him. “I remember she missed one and it caught her right between the eyes,” Dulmage said. “I wasn't mom's favourite for a while after that.” If Dulmage's path to professional football was unorthodox, consider Louis Garrison's trip to senior golf glory. Taking up the game at 23, Garrison spent about a decade honing his craft at the Picton Golf & Country Club under the direction of longtime club pro Fred Purcell. John Lipson told the group in attendance Saturday that Louis' induction was a special source of pride for those that were members at the course in 1960 when Garrison joined. Garrison developed his game locally and was soon the three time club champion in Picton in addition to serving as club president. Garrison sought new challenges and took on a role as an assistant pro at the exclusive Rosedale Golf Club in Toronto. It was at Canada's most exclusive golf course where Garrison would get the break every successful sports star needs in the person of Canadian business tycoon E. P. Taylor. Lipson introduced Garrison and told the audience of a meeting between Garrison and Taylor in the Rosedale pro shop where Louis mentioned Taylor's Bahamian golf development Lyford Cay.

Archer finds time and space to practice from comforts of her home

ATHLETES, from, page 18

In the southern sun, Garrison had ample opportunity to hone and perfect his game to where he would soon yearn a chance to see if he could match up with some of golf's best. Garrison would move back to Canada in the mid 1970s and serve as the head pro at about a dozen golf clubs in Essex County near Windsor where he became as revered as he was back at his home Picton course. Eventually, Garrison would gain traction in senior professional golf and was Canada's champion at the 1988 Senior National Open. Winning the Canadian title allowed Garrison exemption into the Senior British Open Championship at Turnberry that year where Garrison would put together three solid rounds to stay on the leader board until a disappointing final round on Sunday was his ultimate undoing. Nephew Steve Norton

‘I was inducted into the Belleville Sports Hall of Fame but it doesn’t compare to this.’ C. IRELAND

ARCHER said Garrison would go on the next season to gain his PGA Senior Tour card and enjoyed some mild success but the cancer that would claim him in 1992 started to show its effects. Norton said he had a chance meeting with none other than Arnold Palmer at the 1996 President's Cup in Manassas, Virginia. Norton asked the golf legend if he remembered a Senior Pro named Lou Garrison. Palmer looked at him somewhat surprised and said “How do you know Lou?” “We spent the next 20

minutes at the clubhouse talking about my uncle,” Norton said. Carol Ireland didn't take up archery until she was 23 but once she started, it was difficult for her to put down the bow-even inside her home. In 1966, Ireland went to one of her first major Canadian championships where she ran into Joan MacDonald, a shooter of some consequence in the 1960's. Ireland went up and introduced her self to MacDonald who remarked 'Oh Hi, I've been watching you, your good but you still have a ways to go yet.' Undaunted by her brush with the hierarchy of Canadian archery, Ireland practiced everyday when her children were away at school, shooting from one side of her bungalow to the other when weather would force her indoors. In 1967 at the Canadian championships Ireland let her skill do the talking, besting MacDonald that year and the subsequent year at

the Outdoor championships. Ireland got on such a role that other archers would look defeated as soon as Joan and her children pulled into the parking lot at the range. “I have never seen some many adults so scared,” Ireland's son Tony Armstrong said. “My mom would be stringing her bow and I would look around and see so many archers say 'uh oh, Carol is here.'.” Ireland became the first woman to shoot 1100 FITA and was one point away from joining the 1972 Canadian Archery entry that was headed to Munich to take part in the Summer Games. Ireland shared a tale of her humble days as an amateur archer where she spied a bow at a sporting goods store in the United States. Unfortunately a 'Noisy Nancy' caught wind Ireland's actions and reported it the Federal government. “I didn't realize that there were people that got paid to turn other people in,” Ireland said. Mounties showed up at

her door and told her they would be coming back in the afternoon to search for the bow. “I wasn't the thieving kind so I just waited for them to come back,” Ireland laughed. “They came back and said we were giving you time to hide it. We want you

to go down and shoot well.” The RCMP did wind up confiscating the bow and Ireland paid the duty to get it back “n 1991 I was inducted into the Belleville Sports Hall of Fame but it doesn't compare to this,” Ireland told organizers. “Thank you so much.”

Picton beats Amherstview, Napanee as Empire season opener draws near

Pirates continue to execute as wins pile up in preseason play Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

The local Junior C hockey club continues to generate preseason success. The Picton Pirates took a 6–3 win over Amherstview on Thursday before blanking the Napanee Raiders 4–0 in pre-season matchups this week. The team is undefeated in the pre-season, having strung together five victories. “We're playing pretty good hockey,” said Pirates coach and general manager Ryan Woodward. “At this time of the year you have to temper your expectations in terms of structure and shift-by-shift play, but the guys are generating lots of chances, playing with lots of confidence, and we're getting great goaltending.” Despite the early success, Woodward said he's not afraid of players getting ahead of themselves. He said the team's focus is to come to the rink ready to work and there's an expectation that the players give themselves an opportunity to win each and every game. “We never get wrapped up with winning streaks or anything else,” he said “… We haven't done anything yet. The wins are nice in pre-season, it helps us get a little confidence heading into the regular season and we'll go from there.” The club's latest success

began with Thursday's 6–3 win over the Amherstview Jets. Despite holding the majority of play in the Jets' zone and holding a hefty shot lead, the Pirates were unable to put anything on the scoreboard through the first 19 minutes of play. Late in the period Nolan Van Vlack got in alone on Jets goalie Mark Bonner, but clanged a backhand shot off the crossbar. With less than 30 seconds to go the deadlock was shattered, however. Following several glorious chances, a nifty Levi George backhand pass from behind the net found Brandon Peever in the slot. Peever fired it to the back of the net to give Picton a 1–0 lead. Almost immediately the Pirates were buzzing again and Ryan Sizer rushed in on Bonner. A loose puck skittered out from under the sprawled goaltender just as time expired. “It was just a matter of getting our legs underneath us and getting some flow in the game,” said Woodward. “We've been pretty selective throughout the preseason — too fancy and trying to pass the puck into the net. I'm trying to get the guys here to attack in straight lines, drive the net, shoot the biscuit and look to pick up some ugly goals.”

Huskers claim title with shutout win Big-game pitcher Dan Wallwork delivers as club wins playoffs for second time Jason Parks

Staff writer

You knew it might have been Beatty Seeds’ night on Thursday in Tyendinaga when leadoff batter Denis Smith opened the potential championship-winning game with a triple to right field in the top of the first inning. You knew it was the Huskers' night when Shawn Williams followed Smith with a triple of his own and was then chased home courtesy of a Dan Wallwork single. Williams' run was one more than Wallwork would need however, as he blanked the opposing Danford Contracting squad through seven complete innings, striking out a dozen. With a 4-0 win, the Huskers went undefeated in the 2013 Prince Edward County Men's Fastball League playoffs and reclaimed the playoff championship trophy. It's been a long time coming for the Huskers who won the the playoff championship in the first year of the reincarnated

fastball league (2005) but have been unable to score much playoff success since. “It's a great feeling to be back on top,” Beatty Seeds skipper Chad Camp said. “It was a great year, we all dedicated ourselves to making 2013 our year and it was. Dan was sensational all season long but he really took it to another level in the playoffs.” Wallwork has been known locally as a big game pitcher and no matter the stakes, the Picton native seems to always bring his craft up to the level required to be victorious. After the game, Wallwork credited the glove work behind him as key to the Huskers' success. “All season long, this team gave me the best defence I've ever had behind me in this league and that includes my catcher, Rob Lamoore,” Wallwork said. The games final play was a shining example of that great field work. With the Frankford entry down to their final out, Adam Danford laced a ball down the right field

line that somehow escaped the sure-handed Smith at first base. Thinking two, Danford rounded the bag and headed towards second. However, Husker rightfielder Cody Vader was on top of the play and delivered a laser beam throw on target to second baseman George Campbell, who applied the tag and ended the playoffs with the putout. It was nearly a rout early for the Huskers as the locals went up 2-0 after the first and put runners on second and third with nobody out in the second inning. Don Bartman lead the inning off with a single and Campbell was safe on a subsequent sacrifice bunt attempt, later taking second with a stolen base. But Danford kept the Huskers at bay, retiring Camp on a hard ground out to third and striking out Vader and Smith with his patented drop ball. The score would remain 2-0 until the top of the sixth when Williams led of with a double and Mark Norton

blasted a triple to left field. Norton was stranded at third, but Beatty's made it a four run spread when Campbell lead off with a double and Vader sent him in with a run scoring single in the top of the seventh. In the B championship, the Warren's Excavating Ameliasburgh A's capped of a great playoff run, downing Whitepine Watershed 5-2. Ian Wallwork was dominant from the rubber, striking out 19 batters and jacking a three run bomb in the first inning. “Ian was great for us all playoffs,” A's coach Chris Wells said. “He was always in the high teens for strikeouts in every playoff game he pitched and that makes a huge difference when you don't let the other team get out of the batter's box.” The great game caller and one of the league's top catchers Rusty Brooks drove in the other two A's runs. It should be noted that both Wallwork brothers were pitching with heavy hearts as their grandfather Robert Wallwork passed away last week.

Star Panthers take their place on sports wall Community honours PECI’s best athletes of past year

OPEN 7 DAYS / WEEK 1385 HWY 62, BLOOMFIELD

JasonParks

Staff writer

A new set of plaques will be hung at the Prince Edward County Sports Hall of Fame recognizing the top athletes of PECI. Along with the four permanent inducted athletes that were honoured Saturday evening, six local standouts from the County's secondary school were honoured for their achievements on the athletic field in 2012-2013. Hailey Van Rossum and James Pero (Grade 9 winers), Kassidie Wood and Tye Eaton (junior winners) and Melissa Paradis and Mat Gallo (senior winners) will all have their likeness installed on the wall at the west end of Essroc Arena where it will remain for one year. Educator and coach Rob Garden presented each student athlete to the crowd of 80 attending the gala dinner event at the Highline Hall and said the half dozen were the best the school had to offer. “The six major award winners this year are the cream of the crop. They represent everything that PECI athletics stands for,” Garden said. “The deserve all of the accolades that have been bestowed upon them, and I have a sneaky suspicion that some of them will be back here in the future as permanent members of the Prince Edward County Sports Hall of Fame.” Garden called Van Rossum a fierce competitor and a serious athlete who starred for the PECI junior soccer and basketball teams this past season. Designated as the Panthers’ most improved player on the hard court, Garden said the Freshman is dedicated to improving her skills. In a practice or a game, Hailey is always the hardest working player on the team. This work ethic is what sets her apart from her teammates and you will often find her in the gym at lunch, after school, and during the summer working on her game. Pero is a natural born athlete who managed to play four sports for the school last season (basketball, soccer, volleyball and badminton)

(Jason Parks/Gazette staff) while being a part of the Venture Enrichment program, PECI’s athletic council and playing AAA hockey with the Quinte Red Devils. “Quite the feat of organization and commitment for such a young man. James is an extremely coachable athlete, and always wants to be the best that he can be,” Garden added. Wood is another great allaround athlete that preformed admirably for PECI last season on the soccer pitch and badminton & volleyball courts. “She garnered team MVP honours for her play and success on the badminton team and in the winter, Kassidie plays hockey for the Picton Legionettes,” said Garden. Eaton is very deserving of his recognition as PECI’s junior boy athlete of the year enjoying success on both team and at individual sports

at PECI. “Tye was a member of the Panthers golf, volleyball, badminton and tennis teams and represented PECI at both the Bay of Quinte and COSSA competitions. Tye was also the only athlete at PECI to earn three individual sport MVP awards for the volleyball, golf and tennis teams,” Garden commented. In the senior ranks, thenGrade 11 student Melissa Paradis was called a naturalborn leader by Garden, one who wasn't the loudest but competed hard and was one of just two five sport athletes at PECI last season. Playing soccer, basketball, volleyball, badminton and track and field, Paradis represented PECI at COSSA in 2 of those sports, and earned a AAA COSSA silver medal with the senior girls basketball team. “Melissa is well respected

Sizer, Walsh commit to return to Picton lineup

PIRATES, from page 20

The team picked up right where they left off to open the second period. Seth Van Vlack scored 2:09 into the frame with Curtis Smith and Brian Bunnett picking up assists. Just 11 seconds later Sizer beat Bonner to give the team a three-goal lead. Sizer made it 4–0 midway through the period with a power-play marker assisted by Jack Davison and Miles Levtov. “We have some guys that can put the puck in the net in a hurry and they make the most of their opportunities,” Woodward said. “What I'd like to see our guys do is just get back to the basics — outworking teams and attacking using their speed and their strength as much as they can.” With less than four minutes remaining Cody Stapley scored a power-play goal to get the Jets on the board. The Jets continued to press to open the final frame. Just 3:41 into the third, Amherstview's Brett Yakes pulled his team within two, but the Pirates showed their depth. Levi George increased the lead to three at 9:51 and five minutes later Davison increased the Picton lead to four goals. Ben Bianco found the back of the net with his team shorthanded to pull within three, but it was too late. The Pirates followed the victory with a 4–0 win over Napanee on Tuesday evening. Despite some strong early play, the Pirates got on the board first with Nolan Van Vlack finishing a two-on-one play. At one point the Pirates held the lead despite being outshot 17–1. Kenny Murduff made it 2–0, banging in the puck while alone in front. A third-straight Pirate tally was the result of an own goal, with Sizer being awarded credit for the marker. Finally, Brian Bunnett made it 4–0 after breaking in behind the Napanee defence. “The Raiders played a good game,” said Wood-

ward. “They came out with some good energy and Matt Loveys was terrific in net and he made some big saves — especially in the first period.” Woodward said the team's ability to finish played an important part of the victory. “We were able to get an early 1–0 lead and that carried into the second and third periods where we were able to generate more and more chances and the guys were able to pick up a nice win on the road,” he said. The club announced this week that Sizer and defenceman Braeden Walsh will return for the upcoming season. Sizer is the reigning Empire league scoring champion. “He's a been a long-serving Pirate and he's going to bring some offence. Every season he seems to be getting better and becoming a more complete 200-foot player,” Woodward said. Walsh brings a hardnosed, stay-at-home aspect to the Pirates defence corps. Woodward said Walsh's game made significant progress last season and he became a regular in the Schmalz Cup playoffs. “Walshy is one of those character kids,” said Woodward. “He's willing to do whatever it takes for his teammates; he's the kind of guy you need to have in the dressing room and on the ice in order to have any kind of success.” The club also announced several players have signed to play Junior A and B hockey this season. Cole Bolton has signed with the Junior A Kingston Voyageurs while Mitchell Smith has signed with the Junior B Kitchener Dutchmen. Both goaltender Adam Wood and defenceman Jacob Panetta have signed with the Wellington Dukes. The Pirates will next have a home-and-home pre-season series against the Clarington Eagles of the Central Ontario Junior Hockey League. The action kicks off in Clarington tonight at 7:30 before heading back to Picton on Saturday also at 7.

college traction as did defenceman Jacob Panetta and netminder Adam Wood. “They really got their names on the radar quickly, especially Wood who had a lot of schools asking about him,” he said. “The fact Adam and Jacob were scouted is due in part to the fact they had such a great run in Picton last year and got their names out there.” While the Dukes, Aurora Tigers and the Trenton Golden Hawks were participating in the Woodchuck ( and it should be noted Wellington's two rivals only managed one showcase win each as well), the OJHL has gotten it's 20132014 regular season underway and some clubs have already played three games. Wellington will take its show on the road, playing three in four nights to open the season. After tonight's game in Kingston, Wellington takes on the Golden Hawks in Trenton on Friday night before heading to Pickering to play the Panthers on Sunday evening. Abrams said the club has to improve on its discipline and get more pucks to the net if they want to keep their heads above water in the early going of the OJHL campaign. “I understand guys want to make an impression and be physical but it needs to be clean and the emotions must be controlled,” Abrams said. “We also need to put pucks

Forget any hip hop or heavy rock anthem that's played in the Wellington Dukes dressing room. The local Junior A club should be cranking up some Eddie Rabbit or Willie Nelson After chugging to Burlington, Vermont this past weekend for a four day showcase event featuring scores of Canadian and US Junior Hockey teams, Duke players can be forgiven for thinking to themselves 'I'm driving my life away.' This weekend, the Dukes will be 'On the road again' as they open their OJHL regular season with three straight away from the cozy confines of Essroc Arena. The club came home Saturday with a 1-3 record at the 2013 Woodchuck Classic but the intangibles gained from the showcase are more important than the results. “The club is certainly more-tightly knit than when they left,” Wellington Dukes coach and general manager Marty Abrams said. “They are forced to get to know one another, there is a lot of on-ice team building and camaraderie that goes on and the games are good, high-calibre games against the United States Premier Hockey League.” The 32-team circuit that has clubs from New Hampshire to Florida has been growing in leaps and bounds to the point where the teams are now on level footing with the OJHL. “We've seen every year that league get better and better and outside of Major Junior, they've become one of the great leagues for NHL teams to scout,” Abrams said. On Thursday, the Dukes received a first hand introduction into how good the USPHL has become as they were dismantled 5-1 by the Boston Jr. Bruins. The club rebounded from the opening loss and accounted for themselves admirably the rest of the way in three close affairs. On Friday morning, the shaded the Bay State Breakers 2-1 and then lost a night game against the New Jersey Hitmen 2-0. On Saturday, the club was neck and neck with the Islanders of Massachusetts until the final moments when the Isles pulled ahead just prior to the buzzer. That game was a microcosm of the Dukes preseason where poor discipline has hurt the club at the most inopportune time. “They found out that in order to win hockey games, they have to work hard for 60 minutes and that was a real strong message they are coming home with,” Abrams said. “Coming out of the exhibition series, one thing we need to check is our discipline. We got off track in Vermont with some bad, undisciplined penalties and some really untimely penalties that cost us the final game, specifically. We took two minors in the final three minutes of that game and it cost us.” The exhibition tournament serves as a barometer for the club and it also offers a chance for NHL and NCAA scouts to watch up and coming players. Abrams said forward Joe McKewon and Erick Delaurentis gained plenty of US

Lest We Forget

MEMORIAMS

BRUMMELL, Mildred. In loving memory of a wonderful Mom and Grandma who left us on September 11, 2012. Look around your garden, Lord She won't be hard to find. She has a face that's full of love And a heart that's one of a kind. Tell her that we miss her and When she smiles that smile Put your arms around her, Lord And hold her for awhile. Sadly missed by Sharon, John and family.

BRUMMELL- In loving memory of the greatest grandmother and great grandmother, Mildred Mae Brummell who passed away September 11, 2012. They say the first year is the hardest, boy are they right. There are so many times I wanna pick up the phone just to hear you say "and that's my tale of woe for today", but can't because you're gone. You are never very far in my thoughts because I still see you in my mind all of the time. Your smle when you saw the kids, your laugh and even the funny way you would tell me just how long it's been since I've seen you, even if it was only a couple of days. We go and visit you at the your final home with grandpa, but somehow its not enough. The gentle breeze embraces us and we know it's you, the hummingbird stops by to say hello but it still doesn't take away the pain. I'm eternally grateful for everyday I got to spend with you and the time my girls got to know "great gran" and will never forget any of the things you thought me. Somewhere deep I'm still that little girl who you walked to school and I looked up and said "I love you grandma" and you'd look down at me and tell me you love me too. Today I tell you I love you still and never will stop. Orange Blossom Special is playing just for you today, tap your feet and clap your hands together! We miss you and love you very much. Sheri, Alan and great grans girls" Mackenna, Taylor and Ashlynn. GREENE- Carman. In loving memory of a husband and father who passed away September 7, 2000. May the words of love blow softly And whisper so you can hear We will always love and miss you And wish that you were here. Always in our thoughts and in our hearts. Love from your wife and children.

Much love, Kerrie Johnson

MEMORIAMS

BLACKBURN, Mabel As time unfolds another year Memories keep you ever near Silent thoughts of times together Hold memories that last forever. Marilyn MacDonald, Debbie & Rick, Jessica & Laura.

BONGARD- In loving memory of my dear brother John who passed away September 10, 2011. God gave me a brother so loving and kind And I had the honour of calling him mine. Today, tomorrow, my whole life through, I'll love and cherish my memories of you Always loved and never forgotten. Your sister Bernice, Bill and Debra.

Elaine Helen Mather

In memory of a loving wife who passed away on September 11, 2011. My darling Elaine ... For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under Heaven ... A time to be born and a time to die; A time to break down and a time to build up; A time to weep and a time to laugh; A time to cast away stones and a time to gather stones together; A time to mourn and a time to dance; A time to keep and a time to cast away; You’re missed, you’re loved and you’re in my thoughts and prayers each and every day.... Your loving husband, John

MEMORIAMS

RANKIN- In memory of our mom, grandma and great grandma, Alice, who passed away September 10, 2009. May the winds of love blow softly And whisper so you can hear, We will always love and miss you And wish that you were here So please Lord find the softest pillow To lay her head upon And kiss her gently on the cheek And tell her who it's from, Put your arms around her In an everlasting hug, Tell her that we miss her And give her all our love. Lovingly remembered by your family. WILLIAMS, Terry. In loving memory of a dear husband, father and grandfather, who left us on September 16, 2008. He left us quietly, His thoughts unknown, But left us a memory, We are proud to own; So treasure him Lord, In Your garden of rest, For when on earth, He was one of the best. Still missing you, Donna and family.

His legacy of “be kind to one another, forgive and love one another” will live on forever in the hearts of all who knew him. To respect Des’ wishes, a private graveside interment will take place for immediate family only.

from existing clients for aerial video, research began last winter on the best solution to capture this type of footage,” Trevor Crowe, president of Crowe Productions said. It was decided purchasing a ready-to-fly UAV was the best option for the Picton-based company because of its versatility, the type of shots it can capture and lower relative costs (roughly less than a one-third) to manned aircraft rentals. “We can get in much tighter and closer when compared to traditional manned aircraft and we find the best shots are taken much lower, between trees, or just above rooflines for that cinematic look.” “We live in such a beautiful rural area, it’s a perfect fit for this application. We are currently using the UAV for government use across eastern Ontario, such as tourism attractions, industrial land surveying, and also agricultural assessments. We are then using these aerial shots in promotional videos, which usually go out onto the web or presentations.” Interestingly, any commercial use of UAVs require Transport Canada flight approvals for each location called a Special Flight Operators Certificate (SFOC). Applications for an SFOC take about one month. “This sometimes makes it difficult for scheduling, however with a little planning, it’s manageable,” Crowe explained. “Transport Canada is primarily concerned about the safety of the general public, and risk to other aircraft. Every location has its associated risks when leaving the ground. Transport Canada is simply ensuring operators of UAVs are assessing the risks, and taking action to mitigate those risks well before any flying takes place. This is actually something operators should be doing anyway, so it’s a welcome law.” A demonstration of the UAV is being held at Huff Estates, Monday, Sept 23rd at 1p.m. Businesses looking to showcase their property are encouraged to contact Crowe at 613-476-5080 info@croweproductions.ca

Milford Fall Fair continues rural tradition this weekend

Since the Second World War, the Milford Fall Fair has served as a gathering place for South Marysburgh residents and friends young and old. That tradition continues this week, starting with a square dance tonight at 7 p.m. at the fairgrounds

shed. The fair itself takes place on Saturday. It starts with an 8 p.m. pancake breakfast at the fairgrounds, the traditional parade at 11 a.m. mustering at the former South Marysburgh Public School, and the official opening around noon with the annual citi-

zenship awards and plenty of entertainment. The afternoon features a dog show, a garden tractor pull, children’s games, agricultural competitions and much more. Fair board member Charlie Vincent said efforts have been made to keep the

same “rural roots” feel that many grew up around. “There’s nothing fancy about it,” he said. “We work hard at keeping it oldfashioned, while adding a few new things every year. It’s lots of fun.” -Staff

Eleanor Osterlee, of Simeon Street in Picton, received some new tomato seeds from a friend this year and she was astonished by the size of fruit the plants were yielding including this tomato that could barely fit in the palm of her hand. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

B urglar y-Res

Burglaries can be resisted by laminated glass because it is difficult to gain access or remove property, even if a puncture is made in the interlayer. When impacted, laminated glass typically breaks safely and remains an integral part of the opening. The plastic interlayer minimizes splinters and glass fragments, reducing the risk of injury or property damage. This is also particularly important during natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes and earthquakes.

— Horoscopes—

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, the week ahead is looking pretty good, as you will find people are more sensitive to your needs. Work with those willing to work with you. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, your visions of how things should be might differ from how things really are. Work toward improving those things that need some work, and things will turn out just fine. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Some surprises come your way this week, Gemini. But things will soon begin to fall into place. Just be patient before you make important decisions. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Things may seem a bit strained this week, Cancer. But all it takes is a little cooperation and an increased focus on teamwork, and things will quickly return to normal. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, stay prepared and well organized and this week should fly by without a hitch. Feel free to try some things that go against the grain. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, don't feel badly about the things over which you have little control. Go out and have a good time this week, and eventually things will run their course.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, it may prove challenging to sit still the next few days. People may be pulling at you from many different directions, and you will not know which way to lean. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, try not to be overly protective of your secrets this week. A friend or family member is offering their help and guidance, and such insight will prove invaluable. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, a seemingly insurmountable obstacle presents itself this week. Some creativity and quick thinking will be necessary, but you will enjoy the challenge. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Keep your feet on the ground this week, Capricorn. Even if you prefer to have your head in the clouds, keeping your cool will pay dividends in the long run. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, enjoy some quiet time so you can regroup after a hectic couple of weeks. You earned some rest and relaxation, and this time away will recharge your batteries. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, you have a lot of good ideas, and it's time to share those ideas at the office. Your star will soon start to rise.
