Gusty winds and raindrops on a traditional high-attendance day didn’t put a damper on the success of the 177th Picton County Fair. That’s the summation Prince Edward Agricultural Society vice-president Larry Lounsberry made as organizers were packing up at the fairgrounds after the three-day exhibit. “It wasn’t bad at all. We knew we would take a beating Saturday, but anyone around here did,” he said. “We have a faithful following. They knew the forecast for Saturday and they came early and they came late.” The exhibition kicked off with a sunny Friday and an unusually large crowd as events like the Tim Hortons baby show, the 4-H giant pumpkin weigh-off, a skateboarding competition, and dance with The Reasons filled the day’s agenda. Lounsberry said while

Friday was one of the largest opening days in his memory, Sunday was even more impressive at the gate. “It was very likely a record,” he said. “We put three extra bleachers in for the demolition derby and

filled them all and the grandstand. Looking around, there were still a lot of people doing other things too.” Even Saturday wasn’t a complete loss as things dried up in the evening and crowds streamed into the

community centre for the first wrestling show at the fair in several years. “That helped us out quite a bit,” he said. “The person doing the entertainment was beaming all over about how that worked out.” Meanwhile, Saturday night, the Prince Edward Cattlemen held their annual steer show and managed to raise a considerable amount of money for the cardiac rehabilitation project. In talking with vendors at the fair, Lounsberry said he didn’t hear many concerns about the takings — in fact, he said, he and his wife have been vending for 27 years and thought their booth had one of its more lucrative weekends in Picton. One thing Saturday’s rainy weather did do was draw plenty of traffic indoors to see the many exhibits demonstrating agriculture, artwork, and home life. According to Lounsberry, entries were up in most categories with the exception of the fresh produce, something he said was expected by organizers going in given the complications of the hot, dry growing season.
A staff report presented to committee of the whole on Tuesday recommended that council establish a set of local prerequisites for obtaining a council support resolution for renewable energy projects, but after much discussion councillors decided they needed more information. The issue was referred back to staff, who will now look to renewable energy experts to explain the differences between classes – such as a Class 4 wind project and a Class 1 wind project — when it comes to renewable energy installations. Tuesday's report outlined the changes to the province's feed-in tariff (FIT) program and recommended that council adopt a generic council support motion which would outline the conditions council would require developers to meet before allowing a renewable energy project to move forward. These could include the size and types of projects certain types of projects. An application form would be developed by staff and would be completed by each renewable energy project proponent. The generic motion would come into play when a project matched council's parameters. In that case staff could issue the council approval without the issue having to come to council, speeding up the process. That approval is more important than ever for renewable energy developers because the FIT program now includes a system which uses points to prioritize the projects. Council's approval would be worth a certain number of points and could decide whether a developer gets a contract. However, many councillors – including Sophiasburgh councillor Terry Shortt – found it hard to decide what type, size or even prerequisites to set without knowing exactly what a project would entail.

Canada’s defence minister Peter MacKay was in the county last Friday to officially open the new Central Region Air Cadet Hangar at CFB Mountain View. "This new hangar is a demonstration of our government's support to Canada's youth through the Royal Canadian Air Cadet Gliding program," said MacKay, who toured the new facility. "The Cadet program helps to train and educate the future leaders of tomorrow, installing the values of leadership, discipline, teamwork, and citizenship." The total project cost was approximately $16 million, of which the cost of construction for 5,000-square metre building the hangar were approximately $8.5 million. Some 46 jobs were created through the construction of the facility." The hangar will hold up to 30 gliders and tow planes

First Class. The country’s 39th official defence minister, Mackay celebrated a milestone just prior to visiting Mountain View. Two weeks ago MacKay became the secondlongest continually serving person to hold the post . The longest continually serving Minister was Brooke Claxton who served seven and a half years following the Second World War. When asked about his thoughts on achieving this milestone he said that it wasn't the longevity of his term that he thought about but the pride he felt by working with the men and women of the military and their families. He said that the highlight of his tenure thus far was the establishment of the Joint Personnel Support Unit (JPSU). The JPSU provides Canadian Forces personnel and their families with coordinated, seamlessand integrated care when illnesses or injuries occur, and through the stages of recovery, rehabilitation and reintegration into military or civilian life.

Page puts spotlight on living with mental illness
ing that stigma can be a very difficult part of mental illness, but one people can get over through creating awareness of the illness. “The stigma is a fairly abstract concept sometimes, but perhaps if you're looking to break it, talk and the exchange of ideas between support systems and families and people who are dealing with the issues on a day-today basis is amazing,� he said Saturday night. “I’m proud to be a part of that.� Page also told the nearsold out crowd that same stigma often prevented him from getting better. “I spent a lot of time pretending to be fine, rather than just being fine,� he said. By appearing in shows like the one in Picton, he said he is happy to be educating fans to accept mental illness, rather than scorn it. Musically, Page was unaccompanied for his show that lasted about an hour-and-ahalf. The effort left fans cheering and also drew rave reviews from Regent Theatre staff as a show to remember. “That really raised the bar,� said administrator Jim McMillan. “It was a hell of a show — shockingly good. I don’t know what I expected from one man and a guitar, but it’s been great.� Yates said she didn’t have totals for the fundraiser as of press time, but indicated the show was successful in raising money to help clients.

dents’ association, who would serve as the show’s sponsors, Yates decided to contact Page. She said he had been speaking at a number of university campuses in recent years about his own life, so there was some hope that Page would go beyond just singing some of his hit songs, but also to get the issue of mental health out into the open. “Everyone knows the Barenaked Ladies and Steven Page, so they knew the show would provide great entertainment, but it also created awareness and discussion. It’s a great way to shine a light on mental health� Yates said. Yates said there is often a

They called and Steven Page did answer. Much like his promise in his encore song selection, Saturday night at the Regent Theatre, Call and Answer, the former Barenaked Ladies leading singer stepped to the forefront to help the Building Positive Horizons Foundation. Page staged a solo show in Picton Saturday night to help the fledgling foundation which attempts to offer special opportunities that ministry funding doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t provide for clients of Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mental Health Services of Hastings and Prince Edward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s things like buying equipment or registering kids in hockey or soccer, or maybe providing dance or theatre lessons for clients who couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to do that,â&#x20AC;? said Peggy Yates, the foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive director. Looking to make a splash both in fundraising and in awareness, Yates was looking to pair a public awareness event with the foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fundraising golf tournament. Yates said has been a fan of Pageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music for some time and she also knew he has been outspoken about his own struggles with bipolar disorder throughout his life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew his history with the challenges he faced as a child and young man and I knew he spoke openly about that,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The Prince Edward County Fire Department enthusiastically showed off the newest addition to its fleet outside Shire Hall on Tuesday. The purchase of the new first response vehicle was made possible through a 2011 budget allocation. While similar vehicles go for $115,000-$120,000 on the open market, the fire department managed to secure the vehicle for $35,000 – less than a third of that amount. The department did this through savvy purchasing and the expertise of firefighter and department mechanic Tim Jones, said fire chief Scott Manlow. The new vehicle, unit 21, will be stationed in Hallowell where the multi-use vehicle will act as a first response vehicle for fire and medical emergencies and as the department's grass truck or brush truck – an all terrain vehicle capable of acting as a mini-pumper – which will be deployed to extinguish brush fires. “It goes to support just about every call in Hallowell

now,” Manlow said. “The manoeuvrability is phenomenal.” The truck also has special tires and rims to bear the weight of the extra equipment as well as 300 gallons or about 1,136 litres of water. The in-house fabrication is impressive. The truck, originally a 2006 Ford cube van, had the rear section removed and replaced with an a l u m i n u m frame. Special sliding doors and compartment barriers has to be specially designed for the vehicle. “Tim started last fall and it was put into service the second week of August,” Manlow said. “(Jones) de-

signed it, researched it, built it.” Aside from the obvious cost benefit of being built in house, Manlow said the fabrication of the rear section could also also allow the fire department to reuse it in the event the truck is no longer usable. Manlow said the addition of the truck would allow faster response. “Traditionally what would happen before we had this truck is the tanker would come and bring the pump and drop the pump off and guys would slug,” he said. “Now we get set up and get in place and a guy can take this truck and they know where they have to go for the water.” Manlow said the truck would also ease some of the wear on some of the department's other vehicles. “It stops the wear and tear on the big rescue vans from running down through town doing their first response stuff because we do a lot of volume in that,” he said. “This way we're not beating the heck out of our trucks.” He said the trailer that was removed from the truck will also be reused. “At the end of the day we still have a 16-foot aluminum box that we're going to take and (Jones) is going to build me three of them in the winter when things get slow,” Manlow said. “Until then we can use the trailer for storage or carting our equipment around. We don't waste anything, the tires that came with the truck, we still have those and we can change them out.”

PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY
Looking back in the
Picton Gazette 80 years ago — 1932
■ Police magistrate A.E.. Calnan returned from a convention in Hamilton where the Juvenile Delinquents At was being discussed. Calnan suggested those youth leaving school without the prospect of a job should be placed on farms to receive suitable training that would keep them out of the corrections system. ■ Though he didn’t commit himself at a public event in Bath, Ontario highway minister Leopold McAuley hinted at the construction of a highway that would link Kingston with the Glenora ferry might be a reality within the near future. ■ Due to an outbreak of infantile paralysis (polio), specifically in North Marysburgh, organizers of the Rural School Fair in that township was cancelled. The decision came in accordance with instructions from the Medical Officer of Health.
50 years ago — 1962
■ The local branch of the United Empire Loyalists was planning five years ahead for Canada’s 100th birthday in 1967. Centennial plans included events at many Loyalist sites across the Bay of Quinte region and a re-enactment pageant at the Adolphustown landing site. ■ Three Wellington natives — Anne Dorland, Evelyn Wright, and Alex Tait — all found themselves teaching in the same A. N. Myer Secondary School in Niagara Falls when classes opened in September. ■ With a bumper crop of sweet corn grown by seven different county growers, Deseronto’s Metcalfe Foods opted to leave 85 acres of crop in fields near Wellington. The company would have to settle with the growers and the remaining corn could be used for feed or grain supply. ■ Mayor H.J. McFarland shared the benefits of Picton with more than 400 industrialists at the one-day National Industrialist Expansion Conference in Ottawa.
30 years ago — 1982
■ Picton council voted to deny Scott’s Chicken Villa, also known as Kentucky Fried Chicken, to add its trademark illuminated bucket display to its signage at Gardiner’s Mall. Mayor Don King said it was too big and close to the sidewalk, and said if Picton had three or four such signs, its main street would look like a strip in Las Vegas. ■ The County elected to raise costs for those living in H.J. McFarland Home $2.50 per day to a per diem of $24.86 in November, rather than Sept. 1 after four hours notice. Picton Reeve Charles Hepburn a member of social services committee said the increase would counter an expected increase in operating costs. ■ A $7,500 planning study suggested that Picton’s population would continue the decline it had been on for six years, though not as rapidly as first thought. It would continue to be a viable hub town.
10 years ago — 2002
■ About 30 people gathered on a beach in South Bay as the beach along the cemetery and a memorial bench were dedicated in memory of Minerva McCrimmon who ultimately gave her own life to save others when the schooner David Andrews was shipwrecked in a blinding snowstorm in April 1880. ■ None of the 12 birds testing positive for the West Nile Virus that year in the Quinte Region came from the county.

Rare kingbird draws a crowd at Presqu’ile Park
Presqu’ile Park resident Bill Gilmour wasn’t sure what he heard that evening as he rode his bike along the park’s Bayshore Road. He just knew it was nothing like he had heard before. As a birder, Gilmour is a veteran, and he knows his bird songs, and knows them well. This one though was different and he had a feeling that he should seek it out. He stiffened when his binoculars fell upon the flycatcher at the top of the tree. He immediately recognized it as a kingbird, but this one was different. It had some yellow on it, so thoughts of a western kingbird raced through his mind as this species does occur in these parts on occasion. But no western kingbird ever had a honkin’ beak like this one! It was way out of proportion to the rest of the bird. The bird he was focussed on was a Thick-billed Kingbird, and it was the second ever sighting of this Arizonian bird in Canada. The last time one was ever seen in Canada was in 1974, on Vancouver Island. And here it was, at Presqu’ile Park of all places, and was busily snatching bald-faced hornets and even monarch butterflies, perhaps different fare from what it was used to in the canyons of Arizona. Bill posted his sighting on the Ontario Birds listserv, an electronic post office of sorts for birders, and the sighting went out to over 2,600 subscribers, showing up on my computer competing with mundane sightings of godwits, grebes and goshawks. By the next morning, hundreds of birders, armed to the teeth with thousands of dollars’ worth of optical equipment and cameras had arrived, many having driven all night from across Ontario. For most, this On Sept. 29, the Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary Units of the Quinte region will hold a major search and rescue training exercise off the county’s south shoreline. Units from Brighton,
was a life bird like none that had ever occurred before. I thought of little else that day as I conducted a tour on Main Duck Island, wondering how long this vagrant from southwestern United States would remain. Some rarities like this remain for weeks; others disappear the next day. When I arrived the following day, the kingbird was performing beautifully in the same area where it had been found originally. Other birders were there too, from Toronto and surrounding areas. Each time it swooped, it would produce a call, unlike anything I have ever heard before, which can be described best as a strange, very loud and metallic “pwaareeet” given with rising inflection and rather drawn out, and always after capturing an insect. And except for a brief encore the following morning, we were among the last to view it. Experts in the finer details of bird plumage identified this individual as a hatch-year bird in pre-basic molt – bird speak referring to that period in the year when birds replace all of their feathers as most do in the fall. It is likely that it will not resume
any long distance travel until its pre-basic molt is complete. By the same token, it may have arrived in the northeast some time ago, when its molt was much less advanced. According to Alfred Adamo of Toronto, this kingbird is likely a reverse migrant, a phenomenon which occurs when a bird’s internal navigational system is compromised and it migrates 180 degrees to its normal direction i.e. north rather than south. It may also have been assisted by the clockwise movement of weather systems ahead of Tropical Storm Isaac. All we can do is speculate though – only the bird itself knew the answers, and it wasn’t talking! This isn’t the first species to do this by any means. Just this spring, a Scissor-tailed Flycatcher from Texas turned up east of Demorestville, and we still remember the Black-bellied Whistling Duck that appeared with mallards in a farm pond south of Milford a year ago. Regional checklists are filled with one time occurrences like that, including the varied thrush from Alaska, rufous hummingbird from the west, wheatear from Greenland, Prince Edward Point’s mountain bluebird just this spring, not to mention the famous yellow-nosed albatross that turned up on Wolfe Island two years ago. If only these vagrants could relate their stories as to how they ended up travelling the wrong direction, the places they visited and hardships and triumphs along the way. These birds hold so many secrets which, if we could somehow learn, could solve many of the questions about bird migration, particularly those about birds that lose their way. Still, should we even be concerned or curious? Every year
millions of birds successfully migrate from Point A to Point B, and some individuals manage to do this for several years, successfully, before their time is up. How they do it is still not clearly understood. That they do it, and have done it for millennia cannot be disputed. Migration is an amazing thing. Right now we are enjoying Presqu’ile’s shorebirds, that travel from their Arctic breeding grounds to South America, some as far south as Argentina. Most remarkable, is that the adults leave first, followed some weeks later by the young of the year, doing so with no parental guidance, relying solely on instinct. With no dearth of experienced birders in the field today, any that get lost are soon discovered, and those numbers, relatively speaking are few. Most make it to their destinations on time, without fail, travelling the same route, year after year. Some, though, like our thick-billed kingbird, fail in their bid to end up at their correct destination. And that’s when zest is added to the birding game, and binoculars are seized. So, where this bird is off to next is anyone’s guess. If Carrying Place and Consecon residents should see a kingbird with an oversized beak, hawking after insects this week, I would really like to hear about it. It would be great to have this long distance vagrant added to our cumulative checklist of birds for Prince Edward County.
Quinte, Picton, and Wellington will work together with other local emergency response organizations like the OPP, Prince Edward County fire department, Quinte EMS, the coroner ’s
office, and Department of National Defence rescue units in the training session to simulate a critical aircraft incident on the waters of Lake Ontario. “The outcome of the exer-
cise will assist with future planning to efficiently cope with major incidents,” said Wellington Rescue’s Chris MacCallum, the event chair.

Talking about it is the only way to remove the stigma
Back in the early days of the Barenaked Ladies rise to musical success, Steven Page would sing joyous choruses about what he would do with a million dollars and how that might change his life. Indeed, once he rose to fame, it likely did have some impact, however being diagnosed bipolar, Page still had his ups and down that he couldn’t control and at his concert on Saturday, he acknowledged he spent as much time pretending and acting like he as fine, rather than finding a way to be fine despite the condition that he was living with. Mental illness is not an easy thing for anyone to talk about because society is a cruel place and many people can’t comprehend exactly what is going on in another person’s mind. In some cases, there is an irrational fear of people who are suffering and a tendency for members of society to equate any level of mental illness with drastic extreme cases. One would have to think that in a position like Page is in, it would be even harder to divulge that information given his status in society. Yet, Page is now one of many who are beginning to speak out about condition. Celebrated Canadian Olympian Clara Hughes is another who has decided that instead of hiding her illness — in her case depression — she should use her celebrity to talk about it and to encourage others to say that it’s okay to discuss what they’re feeling and share their experiences with others. Leadership from individuals like these are one step toward those suffering from mental illness to be able to freely discuss their own problems with members of the community and to forge greater understanding about what is happening to them. Soon, maybe people will be able to talk about mental health just as they might talk about a sprained ankle or a physical disability that is easy topee and understand. It’ll all be out in the open and accepted for what it is — merely an ailment that a person is trying to overcome and control. That can only be a good thing as it brings more people into the discussion and it will ultimately help as researchers are able to get a clearer picture of how many people are affected and who is affected. Perhaps, down the line, they can come up with more effective cures that will help people battle an already difficult set of circumstances without having to worry about what the world around them will think about that battle. While congratulating Page and others who have had the courage to push this discussion into the mainstream, credit must also be given to the local Children’s Mental Health Services agency and its Building Positive Horizons program for recognizing that something more is needed to defeat that stigma and aiming for the stars. Kudos also to the Wellington on the Lake community and Regent Theatre for stepping forward to hold this momentous concert. People may have attended to hear Page’s songs, but they likely left talking about his story and where the conversation will lead because someone spoke up.

Library takes centre stage at this year’s Milford Fair
Each year the Milford Fair chooses a community organization to highlight and this year, The County of Prince Edward Public Library & Archives is the lucky recipient of the attention at the fair on Saturday, Sept. 15. “We are so pleased to have the library featured at this year’s fair,” said Library CEO Barbara Sweet, “and we want to thank the Fair Board for the honour.” The Ann Farwell branch is a hub in the village of Milford, and one with a unique history. Created through the efforts of Jeanne Minhinnick and Ann Farwell, the library began with the two women amassing 2,000 donated books on the town hall stage and opening the doors to the area’s first public library in 1951. By 1993, the library had grown so much that the community, led by dedicated volunteers, built a fully accessible library to serve their needs. Since amalgamation, the library has benefitted from being part of the larger library system with access to not only the hundreds of books in Milford, but also the over 80,000 titles shared by all six branches. As well, the Interlibrary loan system allows members to borrow books from libraries throughout Ontario and have them delivered right to the Milford branch. Library goers can use all six branches of the library as well, picking up and dropping off at whatever location is most convenient. Workshops in everything from how to navigate computer technology to seniors “chair fitness” classes and children’s French instruction are offered. These types of learning and entertaining activities are available at various branches driven by the demand of library members at each branch. This summer at the Ann Farwell library, for example, children enjoyed a Penny Arcade Carnival, a theatrical storytelling by knights from The Blades of Glory troupe, and a stilt walking workshop. They also had the opportunity to join the Summer Reading Club. “The branch hosts two book clubs and an enthusiastic conversational French group led by Dorothy Speirs that meets every
InsIde the lIbrary CHRISTINE RENAUD
Tuesday,” adds Sweet. Many people in and around Milford have come to rely on the library for their access to high speed Internet and to use computers. The Wi-Fi is available outside of the library even after hours. Renovations were most recently completed in the branch about three years ago to create a more open and inviting space. The redesign by local craftsman Bob Logan resulted in both a more pleasing interior and more efficient use of the space. “The growth of the library, the many services it provides, and the work and support from the community are what we will be celebrating on Saturday,” said Sweet. The library will be taking part in the fair’s parade, and the Friends of the Ann Farwell branch will be holding a book sale under the library tent all day. Also in the tent will be a local authors table with books for sale and Janet Kellough and Robin Lunn on hand to sign copies. There will be library t-shirts for sale as well. A children’s craft and play area will be under the tent and Clifford the Big Red Dog will be visiting, too. In the hall at 1p.m., children are invited to free bingo, followed by adult bingo for $2 a card with proceeds to the library. Prizes will be awarded. The dunk tank will be another fun activity to help fundraise for the library. Both dunkees and dunkers are wanted! “We have a lot planned for the big day,” says Sweet, “and we are looking forward to contributing to make the fair a fun day for all.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Artificial tanning beds a very real cancer threat
Cancer is an unrelenting disease, but Canadian Cancer Society volunteers and staff are tireless in leading the fight against cancer. One of the easy ways progress can be made is through public policies that can prevent future cancer cases and help people who are living with the disease. After the summer break, the provincial legislature resumed sitting at Queen’s Park on Aug. 27. The Canadian Cancer Society is renewing its calls for the government of Ontario to support Bill 74, the Skin Cancer Prevention Act, which aims to restrict youth under 18 from using indoor tanning equipment. In 2009, the world’s foremost authority in identifying the causes of cancer, the International Agency for Research on Cancer classified ultraviolet radiation (UVR) emitting devices, including tanning beds, as a known
carcinogen . The skin damage caused by UVR is cumulative over a person’s life, meaning the earlier you start tanning, the greater your risk of developing skin cancer later in life. In July, an expert review of current research published in the British Medical Journal showed that people who first started using indoor tanning equipment before age 35 have an 87-per-cent increased risk of melanoma skin cancer. There is no excuse for the Ontario government not to pass Bill 74. In other parts of Canada, governments in Quebec, Nova Scotia, and British Columbia are all taking proactive steps to address this pressing issue by introducing legislation to restrict youth from indoor tanning salons. In August, the Town of Oakville became the first municipality to enact such legislation in Ontario. No tan is a safe tan.

Melanoma skin cancer is one of the most common forms of skin cancer in young Ontarians aged 15-29 and is one of the most preventable. Indoor tanning equipment can emit ultraviolet radiation levels that are five times stronger than the mid-day summer sun. A tan from natural or artificial sources provides very limited protection from sunlight or burning, it’s only equivalent to about SPF two or three sunblock. Investigative media reports and audits conducted by the society and public health show that voluntary guidelines do not work. The indoor tanning industry has proven incapable of regulating itself. We also know parental consent does not work as many parents are introducing their kids to indoor tanning and paying for their sessions. Regulating the indoor tanning industry will save
lives and help reverse the rising cost of skin cancer on our already-exhausted healthcare system. The Canadian Partnership Against Cancer estimates the total economic burden of skin cancer in this country will rise to $922 million annually by 2032. We already have age-specific laws related to smoking, drinking, gambling, and bike helmets. Restricting those under 18 from indoor tanning would be just another law that protects the health of a vulnerable population and raises awareness of the dangers of indoor tanning. We need to take action now. I encourage local residents to join the fight against skin cancer and send letters to your MPP Todd Smith, visit www.takeaction.cancer.ca, or join the Twitter conversation via #tanbedban.

Park restrictions unfair to taxpayers , pass holders
The day following Labour Day, I took one of my frequent walks to West Point. I noticed the gate at the four corners leading to the Lake Ontario beach had been locked. This gate had been left open until Thanksgiving in previous years. I went to see the new Sandbanks park superintendent to see why it had been gated at such an early date. He seems like a nice enough fellow and I'm sure according to his thinking he is doing the right thing, however I fear he is going to be a "lock it up and out of sight" person. Sadly enough, we need less of this instead of more. He sympathized with me and explained that he didn't have the manpower since the students had returned to school. I, in turn, explained to him that the students had been returning to class every previous year, so what else is new? I also reminded him that this sort of action, along with the fact he had already permanently closed the tip of the point in the spring only reinforces local belief that the park only cares about the tourists. Labour Day is far too early to be closing the road to one of the most beautiful beaches in Ontario. The park doesn't even have parking at the West Lake dunes after Thanksgiving. The small lot provided there is only through the courtesy of the County. Some of you may
remember they tried to fence this off a few years ago. They also blocked off the West Lake road at the park boundary. The gating of the Outlet beach road was also unfortunate. This road had never been gated in history. I also loved to drive down Norman MacDonald's lane until they put an end to that. I am not saying there were no good reasons for doing some of these things. I mention them to show how our freedom to enjoy the Sandbanks have been slowly whittled away in places. I fear our right to the road around the point will some day sadly end. You will be told that you can still walk into the Lake Ontario beach. Oh, by the way, the good parking lot is still there, the good road to it is also still there, you just damn well can't use the road. Go figure! The parks belong to the people, supposedly. I, along with many others, pay over $100 a year in good faith for a season ticket. We should have access to the whole park at least until Thanksgiving. If you feel as I do, let the Ministry of Natural Resources know and maybe they will come up with some more money for the park. I'm not holding my breath. My lone voice, crying in the wilderness is useless. Robert Yardley West Lake
Green Energy Act not green, rather foolish, irresponsible
The Green Energy Act, no matter how well-meaning, is, at this point in time, technologically foolish and fiscally irresponsible. Wind turbines and solar cells are far too expensive for consumers due to the cost of the equipment combined with the intermittent nature of its power generation; and, in the case of solar cells, the inefficiencies of converting the output to usable electricity. Both wind turbines and solar cells are machines ñ manufactured machines. They are made of silica, exotic metals, glass, aluminum, copper wire, plastics, steel, computer controls and generally set in concrete. All of these basic materials need to be mined, smelted, refined,
transformed into usable materials, transported to the manufacturer, and finally transported again to the erection site. Like all machines, turbines and solar cells need to be maintained, repaired and, at some point in time, replaced. Solar cells last somewhere between 15 and 20 years, while wind turbines can last a little longer if they receive regular maintenance. Recently, I've read much in the news about the erection of wind turbines in the County. Some people want them, and others don't. I certainly wouldn't want one next door to me for many reasons. What if there is a catastrophic failure of a huge wind turbine? (And they do happen in a very spectacular
fashion.) What will it do to my property values? What will it do to your property values? If you've leased your property to a generation company, who is responsible for failures, clean ups, and removal of debris? What happens if the solar cell field has a catastrophic failure? (And they do happen.) What if the government quits using your money to subsidize these so called green energy projects? Who is responsible for the clean-up when it is defunct? Are there policies in place for end-oflife disposal to protect the environment from leaching of lead and cadmium? People, companies, and manufacturers are making a tremendous amount of
money off of this - right out of your pocket every month when you pay you power bill. We need to repeal this costly act and continue our research into all types of new energy sources. We need to develop energy sources that are truly the least harmful to the environment and economic. The idea that these types of energy machines are green and economical is ludicrous. Wind turbines are not green, they are not cheap, they can be dangerous if improperly maintained or manufactured, and we shouldn't need to subsidize them. Read your power bill. Andre J.

The theme for the ninth Prince Edward County Music Festival is “Searching For Beauty.” According to artistic director Stephane Lemelin, the theme fits nicely with the works of his selected composer-in-residence this year, Kingston native Marjan Mozetich. “He's a wonderful composer, his music really touches people very deeply,” said Lemelin. “The theme this year is at the centre of Mozetich's style. It is not so much experimenting with ideas as really searching for beauty.” Lemelin said that though Mozetich may be more traditional than some of the composers he’s invited to the festival in past years, he also writes very accessible music that many can easily relate to. Mozetich said he simple does not like to write boring music, and to him, that means his pieces have to capture expression. “I write music that is beautiful. It wants to express the things people deal with and the emotions we all have, whether it is through tragedy or happiness, the whole thing,” he said. Mozetich points to one composition, Scales of Joy and Sorrow, which will be performed this Saturday by the New Orford String Quartet as part of the festival which runs from Friday, Sept. 14 to Saturday, Sept. 22. He said he believes it deals with a range of emotions in a dramatic and appealing way, bringing about beauty in both the best and worst emotions. The son of Slovenian parents, born in Italy and raised in Hamilton, Mozetich said he learned to love music through taking piano lessons from a neighbour who lived next door. “I started when I was 9 — a bit late, but never to late to develop a love for music,” he said. “ I continued to take lessons and became quite advanced, so I decided to make a career in music.” Initially, Mozetich had hoped to be a concert pianist, but when the realization hit that he wasn’t good enough, he dove headfirst into composition, studying composition at the University of Toronto, before heading to Europe to further his studies. In those days, the man whose work has been played by ensembles across Canada and abroad wasn’t sure he’d make a career out of writing, let alone receive acclaim like second place in the International Gaudeamus Composers’ Competition in Holland, or first prize in the SOCAN foundation’s Sir Ernest MacMillan Award competition for young composers. “It really requires one to take a leap of faith,” he said. “Composition is not an easy field to get into.” Mozetich said many young composers can find work in composing for the film industry, which he didn’t have much interest in, or in teaching. Eventually, he said, people

liked what he did and he found an interest in writing classical music, rather than the more-limited popular music. “Somewhere along the line, it goes back to about 1980, I found my voice and style,” he said. Mozetich had his first CD produced through CBC Records in 1990 and in 2002 years later, he won the Jan V. Matjcek Award as the most performed and broadcast Canadian composer of the year, earning the highest royalties for concert music. He said he likes the genre of classical, or “art” music because it doesn’t have the same limitations as most commercial music does today. “A lot of popular music is essentially songs that are three-to-five minutes long. Art music is the kind of music that takes longer to express itself,” he said. “It’s like you’re going on a voyage. It gives me a larger palette to express myself.” Mozetich indicated he’s been to a number of Prince Edward County music festivals as a spectator. While he noted the excellent acoustics of the St. Mary Magdalene Church and the beautiful surroundings in the county, one of Mozetich’s favourite parts of the event in past years was being able to meet with other composersin-residence and learning about their style directly from them. “It’s a way to meet some composers — many of them haven’t been from the area — and to hear what a composer has to say about his works and style.” Mozetich said this time around, he’ll be happy to be in their position to connect with a new group of listeners that may not already know his work. “It gives people a chance to know a composer like myself — it’s a win-win for the public and the artist.”
EXCITING LINEUP
Meanwhile, Lemelin is quite excited about what the festival has to offer this year, including a first foray into opera as a crew from Jeunesse Musicales Canada will perform
Mozart’s Cosi fan tutte next Thursday. “I don’t know when the last time there was a fullystaged opera in the county. I suspect it was early in the 20th Century, they were very popular at that time,” he said. “ “The enthusiasm of the young performers and the wonderful music will make that a special evening.” Lemelin was also excited to have two strong string quartets — the returning Penderecki String Quartet and the New Oxford String Quartet, an exciting compilation of several of the principle players from the Montreal and Toronto symphonies reviving a popular quartet from the 1960s and 1970s. The schools concert, to be held on Tuesday, will feature a new twist as the percussion duo Bangers and Smash will visit from the NAC Orchestra in Ottawa with a youththemed performance. “It’s going to be a literal hit, it’s the first time we’ve had a percussion group at the festival,” said Lemelin. “There are about 310 students coming and we are still hearing about more. There’s going to be a very full house.” Youth will also be served on the final night of the festival as Belleville pianist Luke Bell will be given his own showcase session at 6:30 p.m. leading into the final concert. Another session Lemelin wished to promote is a n introductory lecture tomorrow evening at Books & Company hosted by CBC Radio’s Eric Friesen with Mozetich, Lemelin and some of the performers. “Over the years, many people I’ve talked to have been looking for an opportunity to learn more about the music they’re hearing. (Friesen) delves deep into composition and style to add to people’s experiences.” Overall, Lemelin said the program is more broad and varied than in past years, a trend he hopes to continue going into Year 10 in 2013. “We’re going to make sure we keep it growing and keep it going,” he said. Information on the festival lineup is available online at www.pecmusicfestival.com.

In 1997, husband and wife team Victoria Rose and James Lahti along with their friend Steven Rapkin looked into buying a country place together. Having been to the county a couple of times previously, they were lured down to look at an acquaintance's property just outside the town of Milford. When the acquaintance offered to sell them the 300 acres, including a charming yellow 1840s farm house and several outbuildings, they bought it on the spot. Intended as only a weekend getaway, within a year Rose and Lahti had moved their film editing business there and had very happily become "county folks". Lahti noticed a few small vineyards dotted about and being a wine lover began to investigate. Much research, soil sampling and many consultations later, they found that they had patches of land astonishingly similar to the "terroir" of Burgundy. In 1999, an enthusiastic James and a slightly skeptical Steven and Victoria planted 1200 vines of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc and Gamay. As they watched the vines thrive in the hot dry summer weather and delicious limestone dirt, Lahti decided to plant a further 3,700 vines in the spring of 2000. The farmer in him became fully exposed and in 2001 another 7,000 went in, with the addition of Pinot Grigio. In 2002, they were to have their first good sized crop of threeand four-year-old grapes, and they renovated the old pig barn into a winery. That October, they processed their first vintage while having a lot of fun, not quite knowing what they were doing or how all that strange equipment worked! Realizing this was no longer a "hobby" but a
Sippinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in the county JOE HACHE
viable business, they knew they had to have more grapes and in 2003 they planted another 8,000 vines. There are now 11,000 Pinot noir, 9,000 Chardonnay, 3,000 Pinot gris and 2,000 Gamay. The current yield, depending on the vintage, is about 2500 cases. All the wines are made using grapes only from their vineyards. In May 2004, they finally began selling the wine, '02 Pinot noir and Chardonnay, '03 Pinot grigio and Rose - a blend of Pinot noir Chardonnay, Pinot grigio and Gamay. They now know that making wine is a lot of work. In September the entire vineyard is netted against birds, and an electric fence surrounds the perimeter to keep out the raccoons. After harvest two-to-three canes are laid down on a low wire and dirt is hilled up on them for the winter to ensure a crop. With trial and error they have invented several tractor attachments to make this process as efficient as possible, including dehilling in the spring. Harvesting begins as the weather dictates, anywhere
from mid-September into October. All the processing is done on site in the barns across the road from the fields. The grapes are hand picked and sorted, then crushed and de-stemmed (by machine not feet). Pinot gris and Chardonnay are left on their skins for 24 hours then pressed out; the gris goes into stainless steel tanks and Chardonnay is barrel fermented using various ages of wood. Pinot noir is left on its skins for up to 20 days in cold-soak maceration. Native yeast is then added for four-to-five days of fermentation and it is then pressed, racked and aged in barrels for up to 24 months. They use the very best French oak exclusively for the Pinot noir while the Chardonnay is a combination of French and Hungarian oak. They get asked a lot about the name of the winery ... Long Dog! Rose grew up with dachshunds and James gave her a wirehaired dachshund puppy for her 30th birthday and was soon devoted to the breed as well. Otto died suddenly of heart failure in 1998 and his ashes are buried under the first Pinot Noir vine planted in 1999. The current dachshundsin-residence are Bella and Flora (pictured). Calling the vineyard "Long Dog" just made them smile. From the rustic charm and playfulness of the friendly dachshund's to the great tasting wines, I can guarantee you will also smile when you visit Long Dog Winery while out "sippin in the county". -Joe Hache maintains an independent guide to local wineries at www.princeedwardcountywineries.com..J oin him in the Gazette for a tour of county wineries.

Virtual walking program encourages people to be active within their homes
Browsing the web site of the Public Health Unit for Hastings & Prince Edward Counties I happened upon a page about “virtual walking”. Looking up the word virtual in the dictionary and on a dictionary website didn’t help me figure out what they meant. I’m interested because Community Care runs actual walking programs in Prince Edward County. As the weather turns cooler and fall is upon us, people begin to think about having safe, indoor, spaces to walk. The “virtual” walking web page describes what they’re getting at, and is a way to encourage people to get active. You don’t need to walk with anyone else, but you can if that works for you. From the looks of things you can even include the time you walk at one of Community Care’s three walking programs as time for this virtual walk. This is what the health unit has to say on the topic. To participate in the Virtual Walk, you can walk anywhere, anytime, inside or outside. The time you spend walking will be counted as if you spent that time walking a piece of the distance around Prince
INFO FOR SENIORS
DEBBIE MACDONALD MOYNES
Edward County - a virtual walk. An online tool tracks your progress. As you progress around the county, you will be able to “visit” various places. Information has been provided at each 5 km mark, approximately, on the web site map of the county (which you link to through the PHU website). Discover history, culture, natural features and mysteries. Anyone can complete the walk around the county; however, the walk challenge is open only to residents of Hastings and Prince Edward counties.
WILLIAM MARTIN LAW OFFICE
The contest is a prize draw open to those who walk enough to complete the Virtual Walk. (Couldn’t find a thing on the website about what the prize is…maybe the ultimate prize is better health!) When you first access the Virtual Walk web page you will need to create an account. This account will allow you to create a username and password which you will use to log in to the Virtual Walk. Your account will keep track of how far you have walked. Once you register (create an account), an email will be sent to the email address you provided. This email will contain your username and password, and additional information about using the site. This is the web site you need to go to in order to find the Virtual Walk of Prince Edward County www.hpechu.on.ca then type “virtual walk” into the search box, then click on the first entry that comes up on the listing. Read all about it and get started on virtual walking.

Staff writer
While some councillors continued to look for an alternate solution, committee of the whole voted Tuesday to declare the County's Lake Street property surplus and approved its sale to Lisa and Ghislain Goudreau. The matter was referred back to staff for additional information at a July 24 council meeting. On Tuesday councillors voted to approve the sale of the property to the Goudreaus for $2,000. The Goudreaus had come to the municipality seeking to purchase a triangular
piece of property adjacent to the Millennium Trial that has approximately 50 feet of road frontage and is 100-feet deep, which is adjacent to her property. The Goudreaus intention is to start a restaurant at the property and said the purchase of the property would allow access to the road. However, many councillors were concerned with the sale of the property because that area is commonly used as overflow parking by customers of the LCBO. Lisa Goudreau said on Tuesday said there wouldn't be any immediate impact on parking at the site. “There's not going to be any major changes. (The driveway) will be delineated so people will know it is an entrance to that property,” she said. She said that delineation
could include some curbside cement. She said she also hoped to advertise her business with a sign on the purchased property. She said she couldn't say for sure how many dedicated parking spots the business would need. “It's way too preliminary for me to know that at this point,” she said. “We haven't got down to the site plan or anything like that yet.” She said he main issue was not parking – as there is plenty of room on the main property – but with people blocking access to the business. A report presented to the committee on Tuesday said the Goudreaus decided to purchase the property last year after using the former Lake Street location of “County Contractors” to sell her seafood products. She
Councillor concerned about blanket approval FIT, from page 1
“Can anyone around this table tell me what a small Class 2 wind or a small Class 3 solar facility would consist of?” Short asked. “So, we're voting on something and we don't even know what we're giving permission to ... We need a little more education before we give generic support to something that we have absolutely no idea what we're dealing with.” Shortt put forward the suggestion of a deferral. “I'd like to suggest we defer this matter to some point when we can have an expert come in and at least give us an idea of what it is we're making decisions on,” he said. Aside from that, Shortt said he also didn't feel comfortable giving a blanket approval to different renewable energy projects because conditions one on project may differ from another. “I have a problem giving a generic answer because the question seems to generate so
much concern,” he said. “Each one has certain aspects to it which need to be taken into consideration whether it will or will not be an acceptable use as far as council and the community is concerned. I see this as taking away from the community their chance to have input.” Chief administrative officer Merlin Dewing said council could choose to only give its support to certain kinds of applications. “Of those certain kinds we're only going to delegate a smaller portion of those certain kinds to staff and the rest of them will all come to council,” he said. “Lastly, there certain other kinds that we're never going to support under any circumstances.” Those certain kinds and circumstances will be decided at a later date as the committee had already approved the concept of a generic approval motion before the issue was deferred. Several examples of the types of projects which could be considered to fall under the generic approval

soon realized that it was a good location and the business was well received, but the parking situation at the property presented challenges. The property has no frontage of its own and access was granted through a 15-foot right of way. “The size, location and configuration of the proposed parcel, together with its existing registered right of way, does not lend itself to use as a separate and distinct lot,” the report says. “Merging this parcel with the adjacent Goudreau property creates a more practical com-
mercial lot configuration within this area of existing commercial uses, and the opportunity for more structured traffic/parking control.” The sale price of the property was initially set at $800 as per municipal policy for purchasing a road allowance. Staff revisited that valuation and came back on Tuesday with the $2,000 offer from the Goudreaus. “Staff has revisited the valuation with the Goudreau’s and they have advised that they would consider paying a higher price of
$2,000,” the report says. Councillor Alec Lunn suggested that a 50-foot easement could potentially solve the problem without having to sell the land. Chief administrative officer Merlin Dewing said that could create more problems and wouldn't address the issue of parked cars blocking access to the business. Goudreau said a similar retail and restaurant operation that she also owns employs 12 people and said she expected the Picton location would employ approximately that many.

She said the wet weather didn’t seem to deter spectators from the showing ring. “There was a little bit less, most of the people who usually come out have been. It hasn’t deterred people,” she said. As an exhibitor, she said Saturday’s weather was a mixed bag as it was tough to keep the cows looking as fluffy and presentable as judges would like, but on the plus side it was easier to wash the animals. Hodgen, a 4-H member who is showing at six different fairs this year said dealing with the extremities is all part of the event. “It was pretty cold,” she said. “When we were washing the cows, we literally got soaked. You just have to suck it up and change.” Others, like Laura Krentz, who was enjoying the midway with her children Saturday evening just decided they’d plan well and go with the flow. “We kind of just missed (the rain),” she said. “We came around 3 p.m. and it was clearing up. Now we’re having a lot of fun.” Overall, Lounsberry said the feedback he has received from the big weekend has been mostly positive and that will carry over as the society begins to plan for the 178th exhibition in a few weeks’ time. “I think about 98 per cent of the people we talked to had a good time,” he said.

The fall is the perfect time for planting and transplanting perennials within your garden plants? Maybe the purple phlox didn’t look so good against the red monarda or maybe the Russian sage got out of hand and needs to be moved to another location. I found some pretty large holes in my front garden border from my relentless removal of the ever-widening tall iris colonies so I actually have some empty spaces to fill. Many garden centres have perennials on sale right now if I hurry along to pick them up. Good soil preparation is the most important part of planting. If you have $10 to put into a new plant, spend $8 on soil amendments. Better still, if you have been composting, you can amend your soil for free and still

spend $10 on a plant. When you have identified your plants and selected their new homes, be sure to remove all weeds from the area and dig in some compost to break up the soil. I am not a fan of using peat moss for many reasons. It doesn’t contain significant nutrition, it’s isn’t the best for holding moisture and peat bogs take eons to replenish when harvested. It’s also expensive. My choice for soil amendment is compost and if you haven’t been composting for free, then you can always buy compost in bags at the garden centre. Transplanting is best done during cool times of the day. A cloudy day is per-

fect and if you can pick a cool and cloudy day just before the rain comes then you have the ideal conditions to dig up a plant and relocate it or to put in potted one from the nursery. Avoid working the soil when it is wet. To test it for friability, place soil in your hand and squeeze your fist closed. If the soil holds together but still crumbles then it is perfect for working. If it stays together like a blob, then it’s too wet. When transplanting peonies, be aware that they have deep roots and dig deep to get all or most of the tap root.

Now that the weather is a bit cooler and the ground is thankfully a bit moister, it’s time to think about fall planting. Fall is the perfect time to put in perennials. It’s also a good time to divide and transplant many perennial plants, especially peonies which don’t like to be transplanted at any other time of year. If you haven’t already made some notes of plants to replace or move or open spots to fill, you might take a walk around your property and decide what needs to be changed. Many plants suffered this year due to our very dry conditions and warmer than normal temperatures. Should any of those plants be replaced

below the ground surface as your replant the divisions. Peonies do not need to be divided very often; maybe once every ten years if ever. If you have some peonies that need rejuvenation, then go ahead and get them done in September. New plants or transplants all need serious watering in. Many perennials don’t appreciate going to bed with ’wet feet’ so I generally transplant in the cool of the morning in order to get the plants watered in before the day warms up. Watch your plants for several days and give them water as needed for them to get over transplant shock but don’t drown them either. Expect a bit of wilting on a warm day in full sun but if the plant hasn’t perked up after a cool night then it needs more water. Transplanting can be done anytime between now and about mid-October and maybe later as we are supposed to have a warmer fall than normal. Keep in mind that anything disturbed by transplanting will need recovery time to sink its roots into the ground and get ‘cozied in’ before the ground begins to get cold. Larger plants benefit from trimming back after transplanting given that the roots are disturbed and they cannot feed the plant as efficiently as before they were disturbed. It’s safe to remove about onethird of the plant’s foliage immediately after transplanting. Trees and shrubs can be transplanted at this time of year; however given the stress that many suffered this summer, I might be inclined to put off transplanting trees and shrubs this fall, giving them an additional season to recover. Next spring will be soon enough and it will give us something to do then. Shrubs and trees from a nursery can be put in now. The last step to successful planting is to add mulch. A mulched garden retains moisture and has fewer weeds competing with plants for water and nutrition. My preference is to use natural bark mulch. Spread it about 4” deep up to but not touching the plant. Fall is the time to plant bulbs. Garden centres and other stores will have bags of tulip, daffodil, crocus and hyacinth bulbs showing up any day now. Be sure to pick up a box of bulb booster when you buy the bulbs so you can drop a bit into the hole before you drop in the bulb. Keep in mind that tulips, as beautiful as they are, are a short lived perennial but daffodils go on nearly forever. I didn’t spend a lot of time in the garden this year because it was so hot and dry so I find that I’ve got a lot of energy to devote to fall gardening this year. I’m quite looking forward to puttering around in the garden on some cool sunny days. - Kathy MacPherson is a member of the Prince Edward County Master Gardeners.

Local students improving when compared to provincial average in EQAO standardized tests Teams work to analyze data, plan improvements Jason PaRKs
Staff writer
Recently released Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) results show some Prince Edward County elementary schools are making the grade while some could benefit from extra homework. The group, which creates and administers Ontario’s standardized tests, released school-by-school and board-by-board results Wednesday and the findings showed that locally, some schools are fairing better than others. In terms of school board results, testing this past spring shows the Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board is making up ground and showing improvements in reading, writing and mathematics disciplines when compared to the provincial average. In the annual reading test, Quinte area primary students demonstrated a four- per-cent growth rate, moving from 53 per cent of students being successful to 57-per -cent successful. This increase surpassed the provincial growth rate of on per cent, from 65 per cent to 66 per cent. When it came to writing, primary school children demonstrated a five-percent growth rate, moving from 58 per cent to 63 per cent. This increase surpassed the provincial growth rate of three per cent, from 73 per cent to 76

per cent. In mathematics, students maintained an achievement level of 58 per cent while the provincial results experienced a 1 percentage point decrease, from 69 per cent to 68 per cent. At the Grade 6 level, students demonstrated a fourper-cent growth rate, moving from 61 to 65 per cent and this increase surpassed the provincial growth rate of one per cent, from 74 per cent to 75 per cent. In terms of writing, Students maintained an achievement rate of 56 per cent. The provincial growth rate increased 1 per cent, from 73 per cent to 74 per cent. Finally, Grade 6 students in the region demonstrated a 3 percentage point decrease, moving from 42 per cent to 39 per cent. The provincial results remained steady at 58 per cent. In the Grade 9 applied mathematics and academic mathematics test showed varied results. At the applied level, first- year high school students demonstrated a twoper-cent growth rate, moving from 49 per cent to 51 per cent and the results mirrored the provincial growth rate of two per cent, from 42 per cent to 44 per cent. Success rates at the academic level fell below the provincial average. Students demonstrated a three-percentage-point decrease on the academic level test, moving from 85 per cent to 82 per cent.

Refinements will be made to the 2012-2013 board and school improvement plans to support a continued focus on student achievement in literacy and numeracy. “Our results continue to show steady growth over time, which is what we want to see. We are committed all students and helping them to reach their full potential,” said Trish FitzGibbon, the board’s superintendent of education – curriculumservices.

Pirates hitting stride with one week left to prepare Picton pounds Deseronto, loses tight game to Clarington Chad ibbOtsOn
Staff writer
With just a week remaining before the start of the 201213 season, the Picton Pirates have their sights set on solidifying their opening night lineup. The weekend saw the Pirates post a 9–2 win over Deseronto on Friday and a 1–0 loss to Clarington on Sunday. The club has just one preseason contest remaining to tune up its roster. Both games saw Picton play strong and structured, something coach and general manager Ryan Woodward has been pushing for since taking the helm. “We played very well over the weekend. Friday night was an opportunity for us to get used to a smaller ice surface and the guys did a good job of moving their feet and being strong in all three zones,” Woodward said. “It's one of those rinks where you don't have a lot of time or space and the guys did a good job of winning battles and winning races to pucks.” The Pirates fired nine past Deseronto's puckstoppers with Braeden Walsh, Russ Hinch, Mitchell Smith (2), Mitchell Pearce, Kenny Murduff (2), Kyle Dekeyser, and Devin McCann getting the goals. Scoring for the Storm were Cody Stapley and Bobby Breadman. At the opposite end of the spectrum was a lowscoring tight-checking game in Clarington against the Eagles. Despite holding a distinct shot advantage —

out-shooting Clarington 46–25 — the Pirates were held off the score sheet and eventually dropped the game by a 1–0 margin. “It was an excellent game by both teams. It's not very often you see a 1– 0 preseason game,” Woodward said. “There was a lot of structure in the game, both teams played a very responsible game defensively. We had plenty of opportunities to score off the rush, we just weren't able to capitalize on our
chances.” He said that's nothing to be concerned about at this point. “There are lots of different line combinations and chemistry that seems to be building,” he said. “The guys worked really, really hard. Give Clarington credit, they've got a good hockey club over there, they're well coached and well managed and it was an excellent tune-up game for the regular season.” Woodward said the
weekend also gave the club the opportunity to see and evaluate new goaltending addition Adam Wood. Wood played two periods in each game. “He's a veteran goalie; big, strong. He shows lots of calmness in the net — he's going to be great for us,” said Woodward. “He's just getting himself into game shape and we're going to try to get him on the ice as much as possible prior to Sept. 20.” With their final exhibi-
tion contest set for this Saturday, it could the last chance for some borderline players to make their mark. “We have an idea of what we want to do here going forward,” Woodward said. “This has been an excellent camp in terms of the quality of the hockey players trying to make our hockey team. There are some difficult decisions that have to be made in the next day or two.” Woodward said the team plans to make those
decisions sooner rather than later and will cut down to the opening day roster as soon as possible. He said he expects the club will dress about 90 per cent of its regular season lineup on Saturday. “We're going to open the season with 22 or 23 guys on our roster; guys that we're really happy with, guys that we think can really help us in all facets of the game,” he said. “These are guys that worked hard to earn their way onto the hockey club. There are still a couple tough decisions to make here this week, but the guys that are in the lineup in Game 1 of the regular season — they worked their way onto the hockey team.” Woodward said fans can expect a healthy mix of veterans and rookies in the lineup come the Sept. 20 regular season opener versus Port Hope. “We're excited about this group and everybody is looking forward to the start of the regular season,” he said. Additionally, the club announced this week the signing of the 5'11, 205pound forward Murduff. The Ennismore native played last season for the Peterborough Liftlock Stars Junior A Hockey Club. “We are very fortunate to add a player of Kenny’s ability to our lineup. He is a hard-nosed two-way hockey player and he will make us harder to play against,” Woodward said. “This kid possesses a major junior shot — he will be an exciting player and a big addition to our team.”The Pirates have their final exhibition game this Saturday, Sept. 15 against Amherstview at 7:30 p.m. in the Wellington and District Community Centre.
Cobourg, Trenton appear to be Dukes’ toughest foes The Gazette examines the five teams competing in the OJHL East Division JasOn parks
Staff writer
It was the opinion of the late Peter Jennings that a reporter never give advice for make predictions. The peril of media prognostication is what is assumed and what is proven fact are soon combined to be one and the same once predictions are put into the record for all eyes to see. You know, the old “better to be thought a fool then
YOUR SPACE!
to open you mouth and prove it” rule? But, setting self interest aside and offering one writer's thought on how the East Division of the Ontario Junior Hockey League's North East Conference will look once the dust settles on the upcoming 55 game schedule is simply a path this corner must go down. After a brief glimpse of preseason hockey and taking the findings of other
OJHL scribes, here are my submissions on how the East will look in mid-February and some reasoning behind it. Cobourg- With new coach Curtis Hodgins at the helm, this could and should be Cougars year to rule the Eastern division. There's no doubt Hodgin's desired style of play is 180 degrees different than the play of past Cobourg clubs that embraced fire wagon hockey but it appears,
in the early stages anyway, that the Cougars have listened to their new coach and his defence first strategy. Despite expanded defensive roles, Dylan Goddard, Justin Danforth and Evan Jaspers will still figure out ways to haunt opposing netminders and 20-year-old OJHL rookie netminder Joe Keyser will be a pleasant surprise to the denizens of the Cobourg Community Centre.

Woodchuck Showcase a learning experience for Dukes Young team posts 1-3 mark against stiff competition in Wisconsin as final tune-up for season Jason Parks
Staff writer
It may have not netted the on ice results some Jr. A hockey fans in these parts have come to expect but for the man in charge of building the Wellington Dukes, the 2012 experience of the annual Woodchuck Showcase event in South Burlington, Vermont was a valuable gain. Despite going 1-3 in their four games, the Wellington Dukes, both the players and the staff, found out exactly where they stand in terms once again rising to the top of the OJHL's East Division. Dukes coach and general manager Marty Abrams said the results Wellington earned over the weekend are a fair indication of where the team is at in its development. “We asked to play the best teams at Woodchuck and I think the the results show exactly where stand as a hockey team,” Abrams

said. The bench boss like the looks of his netminding and thought the power play moved the puck well but the team was unable to be gain sustained puck possession time in the offensive zone. After losing their opener Thursday 3-2 at the hands of the Eastern Junior Hockey League's Boston Jr. Bruins, Wellington rebounded Friday to shade the New Hampshire Jr. Monarchs by a score of 3-2. On Saturday and Sunday, the tide turned against Wellington in a drastic way as the locals were toppled in identical 4-0 blankings by The EJHL's South Shore Kings (Saturday) and Jersey Hitmen (Sunday). No scoring details were made available but injury reports were offered by Abrams as the club has lost Josh Gervais for at least six weeks thanks to a severe shoulder injury. The Welland native tallied 21 points in 48 games

last season and the 20-yearold could have provided leadership on the young club as it starts its regular season in Kingston this evening. “It's believed he might not need surgery but he has to visit the surgeon in another three weeks to determine that,” Abrams said. If Gervais needs to go under the knife, he would be out much longer and could wind up being lost to the club for the rest of the season. In terms of player movement, Abrams said the club

had signed defenceman Dominic Nitti after acquiring his rights from the Langley Rivermen of the BCHL. The club has also picked up blueliner Josh Finkelstein from the Coquitlam Express, again of the BCHL. In terms of final numbers, Abrams is paring down his current roster to a manageable number prior to Thursday's game however he may wind up utilizing his affiliate system in order to make some final selections. We may use guys from Junior C and AAA to start the season,” Abrams said. The players fees ($1200) makes these decisions extremely tough. The kids send a cheque payable to the league and once a kid pays you want him to be here.” But if management is unsure it the player can preform at the Junior A level, it could be a gamble. “It's a crippling issue for our league and I strongly believe that there should be
a four or five game tryout process,” Abrams added. Sink or swim, these young Dukes will take the ice for real tonight when they visit Kingston. With a balanced schedule against the much tougher North division this season, Eastern division clubs including Wellington might be in for a much rougher ride over the course of 55 regular season games. “Now that we are with the North we are in tough. I think in our last 35 games against South division opponents, we hadn't lost a regulation game and the South was very kind to us. Now, we are going to be playing the likes of Aurora, Newmarket and (2012 Buckland Cup Champs) Stoufville and it's going to be very good hockey,” Abrams said. “We go into the season as the same way we do every year and that is to make the playoffs...It's going to be a struggle every night to win games (against these tough opponents).”

GREENE, Carman. In loving memory of a wonderful husband and father, who passed away on September 7th, 2000. We thought of you with love today But that is nothing new We thought of you yesterday and Days before that too. We think of you in silence We often speak your name All we have are memories And your picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake Which we'll never part God has you in his keeping We have you in our hearts Always, Pam and family. HALL- Steve. September 13, 2002. Dad, you're gone but not forgotten And, as dawns another year In lonely hours of thinking, Thoughts of you are always near, Though on earth you are no more Still in memory you are with us As you always were before. Love you Nancy, Teri & Tyler. WAY- In loving memory of Diane Way, who passed away four years ago on Sept. 14, 2008. Loved and never forgotten by Betty and family. WILLIAMS, In memory of Terry Williams, who passed away September 16, 2008. Memory is a lovely lane, Where hearts are ever true, A lane I so often travel down, Because it leads to you.

TRYING OUT

Youth movement might mean growing pains for Wellington
FORECAST, from page 21
Trenton- Golden Hawks bench boss Jerome Dupont is the ultimate competitor and winning is in his nature. Also the manager of the squad, he will make any move necessary to gain an edge on the competition and the former Chicago Blackhawk defenceman may have to make a move in the Golden Hawk net if this club is to reach its potential. It says here the combination 2011-2012 backup Andrew Winsor and newcomer Curtis Martinu won't be enough to push the Hawks over the top and there will likely be deal to bring a stud netminder. A preseason injury to forward Shawn Hulshof isn't as significant as once thought and Dupont could still tweak the back end with a deal or two prior to Trenton's home opener on Friday evening. Former Huntsville Otter Jordan Minello is great pickup and should help pace the offence. Whitby- The remnants of the 2012 OJHL Southeastern Confrence Champions are still in place but the fact their coach has moved a few minutes down the 401 to take over the Cougars makes the Fury the biggest dark horse in the Northeast confrence. Can new skipper Craig Fisher coach Junior A hockey? As former 13-year pro with NHL experience, it would be natural to believe he can but the jury will be out until after the first month of the season. In net, the Fury have Tyler Fever back in the cage and that should be a calming influence however, how much of his success was derivied from Hodgins and his defence-first approach? This squad could easily buck the trend in either direction and it wouldn't be a surprise to your humble scribe. Wellington- With the early graduation of 52 goal scorer Darcy Murphy, Dukes Coach and General Manager Marty Abrams has gone with a youth movement this season as the team is on the short list to host the Dudley Hewitt Cup in 2014. While this doesn't necessarily mean the locals won't compete this season, there will be some growing pains. Jake Marchment and Mike Soucier are two of the most exciting rookies in the OJHL and Hayden Lavigne,
16, could leave Dukes fans harkening back to past fresh faced Wellington puckstoppers like Dan LaCosta and Dan Turple. But Wellington's blueline will need to be strong with a rookie netminder and inexperience could hurt Wellington, especially in the early going. Kingston- Another team loaded with questions and not much answers, although the apparent addition of ex-OHL blueliner Kris Grant does answer part of the defence dilemma the Vees were facing. Up front, Ludlow Harris, Greg Trichlio and Frank Vilaridi will find the back of the net regularly but there is a steep drop off after Kingston's small group of top-end talent. Charlie Finn will be tested night in and night out and his play will have to be outstanding if Kingston is going to contend for a playoff spot. Club discipline will also have to a positive factor as the Vees are not going win in the penalty box.
A short discussion among councillors at Tuesday's committee-of-the-whole meeting showed little support for a casino in the county. Mayor Peter Mertens and Ameliasburgh councillor Dianne O'Brien had asked for a discussion centering around the impact of a casino in the area or within the boundaries of the municipality, but after that discussion it was clear the majority of councillors preferred not to get involved. O'Brien said it wasn't too late, if council agreed, to apply to the OLG to extend the newly created gaming zone further south to include the county. The zone covers Belleville and a small portion of Quinte West, but stops in the middle of the Bay of Quinte.
While Belleville and Quinte West have actively been discussing the possibility of having a casino in their respective municipalities, O'Brien said she had been thinking about the possibility of striking a partnership between municipalities that could bring extra revenue to the County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wondered about creating a partnership with Belleville or Quinte West if they get the casino,â&#x20AC;? she said at the meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The OLG boundary is in the middle of the Bay of Quinte, they'd only have to extend it 500 or 1,000 feet to reach the shore.â&#x20AC;? O'Brien cited the recent revenue sharing deal between Ajax and Whitby for revenues generated at the Ajax Downs casino. In that case Whitby wanted a share of revenues at the casino and threatened to bid against Ajax for that casino if a revenue deal wasn't struck. Ajax then offered to share 15 per cent of future revenue from OLG Slots.

Mertens said he suspected there would be an economic impact on the county if a casino were located here, but said Belleville has already made it clear the city does not want to share any revenues.

Rockies manage to stay alive in fastball final by beating Whitepine 3-2 Dowdell finishes strong in the circle to help Terra Vista avoid elimination Jason parks
Staff writer
You can't blame Whitepine Watershed if they are starting to get that uh-oh feeling in the 2012 Prince Edward County Men's Fastball Association final. For the third straight post season, Deseronto and Terra Vista are hooking up to see who goes home with the league title. In 2011, the Rockies took the drama out of the series, winning the best of five series in three straight games. But 2010 was a different story. The Rockies spotted Deseronto a 2-0 lead in games before roaring back and winning their first fastball title in dramatic fashion. Maybe drama suits the locals better than the mundane because Terra Vista seem to be following the comeback script this time around.
The Rockies staved off elimination Tuesday night, shading Whitepine in Game 3 3-2. After both teams posted zeros through the first three innings, the Rockies got to work in the top of the fourth inning when Brad Lynd started a two out rally with a double down the right field line. Late season addition Marc Massia made Deseronto pay with a hit up the middle which cashed Lynd. Terra Vista extended their lead in the top of the sixth when Rockies skipper Darren Marshall cranked a bases loaded single, driving in a pair. Whitepine made some noise in the home half of the inning as Jamie Thompson and Jason Loney drove in a pair of runs but Rockies pitcher Dale Dowdell managed to get out of the inning with

The Rockies pitcher fanned 10 in the win while Thompson picked up 15 strikeouts in the loss. On Thursday, the short staffed Rockies fell in Game two 9-4. Joe Brant had a nice game with the stick, going three for four with three runs driven in.

Potential Insurance issues with older homes cern insurance companies.
Every week I come across items in a home that insurance providers flag as unacceptable or have a potential of high risk. House insurance is intended to protect homeowners against most unforeseeable circumstances or accidents, but not predictable or inevitable events. Given that insurance companies continually compile and review the causes for insurance claims, they are capable of more accurately evaluating their risk associated with certain building components that have a high claim frequency. To minimize their risk, insurance companies are requiring certain inspections or upgrades to high risk building components be completed to provide home insurance on certain (often new) insurance policies. Their policy modifications are not necessarily related to building code changes and requirements, or technological advancements, but rather are developed to reduce the risk of insurance companies from having to pay out on homeowner claims. In spite of the wide range of specific inspections and upgrade requirements, there are several common areas associated with homeowner’s insurance that con-
Aluminum Electrical Distribution Wiring
Single strand aluminum distribution wiring was installed in many homes between 1968 and 1978 (approximately). Due to its tendency to oxidize and its incompatibility with certain fittings designed for use with copper wiring, aluminum wiring has been determined to overheat in certain situations. As long as proper connections are used, and the connections are made without damaging the wire, aluminum wiring is however considered safe. For years, the presence of aluminum wiring in a home has been an item that, if installed and managed properly, has not been a safety concern. However, more recently, several insurance companies have been requiring (for new insurance policies) that the aluminum wiring be inspected by an ESA (Electrical Safety Authority) inspector, and if necessary, requiring certain upgrades or repairs to fixtures in the home or in some cases, requiring replacement of the aluminum wiring with copper wiring.
60-amp Electrical Services
60-amp Electrical Services were commonly installed in homes prior to 1950. The term "60 amps"
represents the maximum amount of current that a home may use from the local utility at one time. It is currently common to install a 100 amp electrical service (as a minimum) in new home construction. 60 amp main electrical service is considered small by today’s standards; it is not inherently considered an unsafe system. However, there are two common safety issues often associated with older, 60 amp services. These include increased risk of amateurish/unsafe historic electrical repairs and improper fuse size installations associated with the 60 amp system; both of these items can cause overheating of distribution wiring in the home, potentially causing an electrical fire.
Knob and Tube Wiring
Knob and tube wiring is characterized by separately run hot and neutral wires, paper insulated wires, ceramic insulators and the absence of junction boxes at wire splices. If this type of wiring has been professionally maintained since its original installation, is often still a very safe system. However, ungrounded conditions, improper modifications and amateurish home owner repairs of this type of wiring can lead to certain safety/fire issues; this is the main reason why knob and tube wiring is considered a higher risk than
contemporary wiring installations. Regardless of the actual rationale for the insurance companies concerns with 60 amp services and knob and tube wiring, their mere presence in a home is currently a common trigger for further review/upgrades to an older electrical system. Upgrading these components often reduces the insurance company’s risk of an electrical fire and subsequent claim.
Galvanized Plumbing
Galvanized supply and distribution piping was historically installed in homes prior to 1950. These pipes commonly rust or corrode from the inside out, often reducing the pressure or restricting the flow of water or worse yet, leaking and creating flood damage to a home. Given that many galvanized pipe installations have recently reached their estimated life expectancies, the risk of a pipe leak occurring and the potential for flood damage is high. Some insurance companies are now refusing to provide homeowner's insurance on houses with this type of plumbing.
Fuel Oil Tanks
Fuel oil tanks have been installed across Canada for decades,
www.countyremax.com
QUINTE LTD. BROKERAGE
although they are more common in eastern Canada. In many cases the fuel oil tanks are original or greater than 20 years old. As fuel oil tank/distribution system installations age, the probability for leakage from rust, corrosion, damage, etc. also increases. If a fuel oil leak occurs and goes undetected, the environmental cleanup for such a situation can be immense. The TSSA (Technical Standards Safety Authority) requires all fuel oil installations be inspected by a licensed TSSA/HVAC technician every 10 years. Fuel oil distributors may also refuse delivery to any residence they feel is not in compliance with the current regulation. Other insurance company concerns can range from fireplaces/wood stoves to roof conditions to asbestos. All wood burning appliances should be inspected by a WETT (Wood Energy Technical Transfer) certified inspector. Given the wide range of potential concerns, it is important for homebuyers to verify specific requirements with the insurance company they intend to use.
