Picton Fair enjoys record Friday before weather turns Rain doesn’t damper enthusiasm at 180th county exhibition CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

After 180 years the Picton Fair manages to remain a timeless classic. From its agricultural roots to the muck and metal of Sunday's demolition derby, the Picton Fair shone brightly despite some wet weather over the weekend. Picton Fair Board president Larry Lounsberry said aside from the rain, the fair was as great as ever. “The crew did a really fine job and everything was really pulled off without a hitch, all except for Mother Nature.” Friday featured the weekend's finest weather and brought with it the biggest crowd, said Lounsberry. “I was as happy as I could be,” he said of the weekend's attendance. “We broke records Friday. We've got our full parking lot on the fairgrounds and we actually have two others we can use, and all three were full.” With it being the fair's 180th anniversary, Lounsberry said it was another important achievement for one of Prince Edward County’s biggest attractions. “Every time you go through another five years or 10 years it's a milestone,” he said. “Everyone knows

this is the longest-running event in the whole county and the largest.” Lounsberry said even with a couple of days of poor weather, he believes the attendance was big enough to rival some of the county's most popular events. He said the fair board wanted to mark the occasion with something special. Exhibitors were presented with special sponsored ribbons in 22 different classes and each winner received a $100 bonus.

ered on the pool deck, two PEFAC staff members unveiled a large banner bearing the name Bobby Lester Community Pool and featuring a large colour photo of a young Lester in his hockey uniform. The youngest of six brothers and one sister, Bobby had been passionate about Picton's need for a swimming pool leading up to his death from leukemia at age 14. At Monday's ceremony, his brother Garry explained how his family had been galvanized after his death to make his dream a reality. "Ours is a large and closely knit family. We came together approximately 30 years ago in an effort to establish a facility in memory of Bobby, who had passed on a few years earlier," he said. "As many of you already know, there were a few attempts to gather public support by way of various pool committees. For reasons I'm not that clear about, they didn't manage to be successful. We all decided to pull together and establish what we have now." The Lester family worked in construction and demolition and they built the facility — then known as RecPlex — in time to open its doors in 1986. Garry indicated the construction was, in effect, "a large recycling project" with many reused materials. A year later, in the second phase

of the development, Bobby's dream became reality as a custom-designed pool was created. The Lesters operated the facility privately but between 2004-2005, they felt member-

ship could not sustain the project and considered closing the doors. That's when the PEFAC board of directors was formed with a goal of doing whatever possible to keep the doors open. They struck their

first lease deal with the Lester family then and have since extended the lease until 2022. With support of the public and the municipality, they've succeeded. "What I want to do today is express our sincere appreciation to PEFAC for the efforts its board, members, and staff have put forward to continue the operation of this facility and today carry on what had been until today a private memorial to Bobby," Garry Lester said, adding the entire history of the facility is a community success story. "It suggests that small communities like ours can pull together to accomplish seemingly difficult tasks if everybody grabs the oars and pulls in the same direction," he said. While some members of his family gathered for photos with the new sign, Garry Lester said a large team was involved in making RecPlex possible and "everyone responsible wouldn't possibly fit at one end of the pool." The facility's current president Bill Halman said the board and staff felt the gesture was the right thing to do. "We definitely want to thank the Lester family. Without their love and support, we wouldn't be here today. They've really helped us a lot. They're a great corporate citizen," he said.

Miss Canada to return to Picton Bay on 65th anniversary of final speed trial Restored hydroplane to take course Oct. 3 where Harold Wilson sought world record ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

“That boat has a history and it is directly connected to this town.” That's what Harry Wilson said Tuesday morning while visiting the Prince Edward Yacht Club with a restored Miss Canada IV leading up to the 65th anniversary of his father's final run for a world water speed record while piloting the unlimited hydroplane on local waters. "I used to think that Miss Canada IV was a tale of two towns — Ingersoll, where the engine work was done, and Gravenhurst where the boat was built," Wilson said. "In searching (my father's) archives, I drew to the realization it was a tale of three towns. It was Picton where she came all the time for her runs for glory. It was Picton that welcomed my parents and the whole racing team into their arms." Now, Wilson is among a group of organizers hoping that Picton will welcome the storied racing boat for one more hurrah on Oct. 2 and 3. It will be the featured entry in Thunder on the Bay, an onwater celebration run of more than 20 antique boats that will mark the anniversary of the

trial run. Though Wilson was just a baby in 1949 when his father decided to put off retirement and stage trials on a mile-long course on Picton Bay to attempt to break the 141-mph (226 km) record held by Brit Sir Malcolm Campbell, he says he's always felt a long connection to the boat built in 1948. Perhaps, he said, it was because his mother Lorna (Harold's longtime engineer) was involved in test runs while she was pregnant with him. The infatuation never quite went away. "Whenever my father was away working Saturdays, I'd descend into the inner sanctum in his den where he had all of his racing archives and

photographs in neatly organized scrapbooks," he said. "I laid them out on the floor. I looked at Miss Canada II, III, IV, and VI. Always the nicest was Miss Canada IV. She was so big, so beautiful, and so intoxicating." Harry Wilson would be reading and researching that boat for the rest of his life. In his studies, he read that his father made his first attempt in August 1949, running out of the Prince Edward Yacht Club. Down the first mile on the course, the boat ran 136 miles per hour. On the return run, which had to be completed within 15 minutes, the elder Wilson thought he had the boat opened up to well past 140, maybe 150, but

about 100 yards short of the finish line it snapped a prop shaft and coasted over the line. The average speed was calculated and the attempt fell three miles an hour short. Wilson ramped up his efforts going into the 1950 Harmsworth Trophy race and by that fall, it was running faster than ever. He'd look again to break the world record, which was then 160 miles per hour, held by Seattle-based Slo-Mo-Shun. Wilson and his mechanic Walter Harvey launched at about 7:45 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 3. Before several thousand spectators, they headed out onto the bay an hour later with a smooth-running motor. After several trial runs, Wilson aborted his attempt half-way through the return trip. He told the Gazette at the time the boat topped 155 miles (249.5 km) per hour, but damage to three gears forced his final trial to end. "I have only one spare gear and so could not replace the damaged parts," he said. "I am terribly disappointed, but it cannot be helped." Before racing, Wilson said he hoped he could wrap up his attempts that day, either breaking the record or showing that Miss Canada IV had enough speed to do so. Following the trial, Wilson's insurance company told him he couldn't get insurance if he continued to race and a twoyear lease of the Rolls-Royce Griffon engine used (then a

United Kingdom state secret) ended. Ultimately, the Wilson family sold their prized boat to the Thompson family of London, Ont. who rechristened it Miss Supertest I. Harry Wilson also spoke Tuesday of an unofficial time

Miss Canada IV recorded in 1949 of 173 miles (278.5 km) per hour, which didn't count because changing conditions would not permit a safe return trip.

County group raises over $40,000, commits to help Syrian refugees relocate Family of 15 could be brought to Quinte region this fall JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER

While some items in Prince Edward County might move at a seemingly glacial pace, never let it be said that this is a community that drags its heels on the important issues. Nearly 75 volunteers and organizers packed Bloomfield Town Hall Tuesday night looking to make a difference in the ongoing Syrian refugee crisis. By the end of the of the night, the group had cobbled a name (Prince Edward County Syrian Refugee Fund, or PECSRF) and a web site (pecsyria.org), developed an operating structure complete with six subcommittees, agreed to partnerships to help facilitate and expedite the process and decided on a family of 15 to bring to the Quinte area sometime in the next four to eight weeks. And they also managed to tally over $40,000 (which is over 80 per cent of the required funding to bring a family of this size to Canada) in pledges gathered either last evening or in the days prior to the meeting. Not bad for one night's work Since civil war broke out in Syria in 2011, nearly 12 million citizens have been scattered or displaced. Most recently, heartbreak-

ing images and videos of desperate citizens attempting to gain entry in European nations have helped drive home the narrative of the scope of the crisis. Lead organizer Carlyn Moulton told the newly founded group that she was overwhelmed by the outpouring of support shown Tuesday night. She explained there were really no words to describe the feeling when seeing the emerging images and stories of the refugees and “there comes a time when you decide that you can't look away any longer and need to do something, no matter how small or little.” “Initially, I thought a few friends might come and be a

group of five,” Moulton told the Gazette Wednesday. “Then I thought last week that maybe we could get a group of 40 people together but when I saw every seat of that Town Hall was filled and there were people on the stairs trying to get in — It speaks to the generosity of this community. I think Honey King said it best at the meeting last night. 'We are a generous and compassionate community. This is who we are.'.” In addition to dozens of individual attendees, nearly the entire evangelical community of Prince Edward County was represented with a delegate. Service groups such as the Rotary Club of Picton

and the local Lions Group were also represented. “I think we are going to find we are able to sponsor a number of families and these families will have different make ups than the one we discussed last night but you can see there is a willingness of people living in Prince Edward County to open their hearts and homes to support a few families,” Moulton said. “Clearly with 12 million displaced, taking 20 or 30 might only be a drop in the bucket but that's us doing our part.” Ultimately after a straw pole, the group quickly came to the decision that sponsoring a family as opposed to simply fundraising for a Syrian refugee relief organization was the best direction. The group will partner with Lifeline Syria, a group who is spearheading the private sponsorship of Syrian refugees by Canadian families, groups and communities. The Christie Refugee Group, which is one of about 90 federally authorized sponsor agreement holders, found the family of 15 for PECSRF and the group will also work with Ryerson University in an agreement where the post-

COMMENTARY Limiting debate voices has purpose, other avenues an option

CANDIDATES to represent the Bay of Quinte riding in the next federal legislature were to gather at Belleville’s Empire Theatre last night to engage in debate, however not all the candidates were expected to share the stage. Independent Trueman Tuck was sure to let the media know that he felt the organizers with the Belleville and District Chamber of Commerce should have invited him to sit in with Liberal Neil Ellis, Conservative Jodie Jenkins, and NDP Terry Cassidy.While it is a valuable strategy to bring attention to his own platform we can see why the hosts were prepared to stick to their guns. Though Canada’s electoral system started as a process whereby individual areas sent the representatives they felt would best represent their needs, the system has morphed into one where party affiliation sits first and foremost in people’s minds because no matter how skilled and likeable a candidate is, one in 338 votes in the House of Commons is almost never enough to shape the policy decisions that will impact upon constituents. Besides that, the odds are fairly strong that each of the major parties would be able to find a capable, likeable representative from among their followers in any given area. Now that’s not to say that an individual candidate cannot make a difference in politics, nor is it to rule out the notion that candidate’s platform may be very appealing — particularly for those sick of candidates following their party line. It also doesn’t dispel the idea that an independent candidate, like Tuck, could add something to the debate or offer a fresh rebuttal to claims. Indeed, diversity of voices is never a bad thing in the broader sense and that perspective is missed by those looking for ideas and options. That said, realistically voters are looking for more than just a qualified candidate and in the lengthy lead-up to this election with its fixed date, potential can-

didates have had plenty of time to introduce themselves to the public. Now is the time for further examination of that presentation. In a tight, three-horse national race there is value in looking at the candidates whose parties can form government, testing them, and deciding strategically how voting might impact the overall picture. More time to go more in-depth on policy positions makes sense, particularly since many candidates are heavily coached and rarely stray from speaking notes these days. From that perspective, there’s nothing wrong with the way interest groups like the Belleville Chamber are deciding to use their resources and shape the discussion at their private events. They should have the right to shape their agendas and decide whom they want to hear from. If there is demand from among their members or the general public for change, one expects that change will be realized in some fashion. The local issue relates to the organization of debates nationally and the exclusion of Green leader Elizabeth May from some televised events. While the Greens have made significant gains there will always be questions of what threshold they need to repeat to join in these discussions. Perhaps following electoral reform, they’ll reach those thresholds. May, however, has been wise in her response, realizing that just because big media controls the content it offers the public, it certainly isn’t the only venue. She plans to use social media to answer questions posed in the debate in real time and her party has used the machine it has to ensure potential voters listen to what she says. That’s smart. There are more ways to reach the public than ever before. Those who find a way to resonate will gain the exposure they deserve. Meanwhile, there’s still value to playing the odds and trying to push contenders to go deeper and prove they’re worthy of voters’ trust when polling day comes.

PICTURING OUR COMMUNITY

Stories From Our Past n Businessman A.M. Powers came home to the county from Edmonton to purchase and operate the A.E. Bowerman & Son general store on Picton’s Main Street. One of his first acts was limiting the store to one floor. n Violet Tuttle, 19, was struck by a large touring car that didn’t stop. She was carried to the Hepburn farm, where two doctors treated her for a range of serious injuries including a compound fracture on her left leg. The driver hadn’t been found. n Jamieson Bone & Co. Ltd. was hired to replace the roof and fix the walls of the Picton Armouries. The site was badly damaged by a storm.

1935

n Thieves made off with a valuable haul from Ern Ward’s clothing store. Breaking in overnight, they took more than $1,000 worth of stock and cleaned out both the cash register and the safe, which included cash, a rifle, and jewelry. It was believed Ward scared the robbers as he entered his shop at around 1 a.m. Police couldn’t find any suspects. n A severe thunderstorm left Picton without power for two hours Saturday night and also left many broken and fallen trees in its wake. n Light frosts were reported in several parts of the county. Leaves of corn curled in reaction to the frost.

1955

n Bell Canada’s Lucien Moise came to Picton to speak about the history of the telephone. He brought with him a number of the early devices the company produced in the 1800s when telephone technology was in its infancy. He indicated the company was working to produce more efficient and compact communications tools. n Stephen Allan Vancott of Ameliasburgh was wed at age 94. His bride was Annie Way, 67, of Consecon. It was reported that Vancott was one of the liveliest people at the reception. n Carson Scott called off his fair-day swim across the Milford millpond because of high winds and currents.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Reader is reading, watching, listening to make informed choice

The election choice facing us on Oct. 19 is basically the same as in the last. I try to vote thoughtfully and so far am not politically involved with a particular party. I see the choice as between: n The NDP, untried in the exercise of Federal power, has a relatively unclear military policy (at what point would it act militarily?), interesting proposals, and a provincial record of creating a heavier than sustainable debt. The leader, Tom Mulcair, appears bright and knowledgeable. It is not clear to me whether he is a consensus builder, perhaps the most critical attribute needed by a PM - especially after a period in which this has not been a practice.

n the Liberals, long self – described as the “natural” governing party, experienced at consensus building when it is to their advantage, are also adept at appointing party hacks to the Senate, at doling out questionable contracts, et cetera. Their leader, Justin Trudeau seems to speak in gibberish (listen carefully to his recent interview with Peter Mansbridge): his father was a brilliant – and (in my view) an unpleasantly divisive force. n the Conservatives, the current incumbents, are changing the very face of Canada to the world - and to ourselves. The Canada I grew up in and love is open, welcoming, caring, will go to war reluctantly if needed — but never, ever

for photo ops! That Canada was generous to veterans (would never dump the pensions for disabled vets in exchange for an inadequate lump sum); and recognized that in a country this large and diverse we simply have to build a national, federal-provincial consensus in key issues. But Stephen Harper does not even attend meetings to work with provincial leaders. He just solves problems his way, e.g., arbitrarily cutting key transfer payments (36 billion in health- why? To produce a $1.5 billion quarterly surplus?). These are key differences between today’s Conservatives and the now largely defunct Progressive Conservative Party, and are fundamental changes in our

way of working together. n Perhaps, the Green Party. Now, on Oct. 19 we face a choice – one my parents’ generation would have described as between “the devil and the deep blue sea”. Back in the bad old days, before political parties, before voting, before party whips forced voting along party lines in parliament, the British Parliament’s members were local representatives, there to give the King a chance to assess just how much taxation and which policies they would put up with without rebelling. I am going to take that as my guide. Irrespective of party, who will act most effectively and most independently to represent this, our own community, in

Parliament? I am not sure how I will vote. But I am reading and watching – and listening, asking about all the candidates. That is my job as a citizen. If every one of us tries to take our obligations as a Canadian seriously and approaches the current voting challenge in something like this way, we should not go too far wrong ... And if people don’t vote, they are basically saying either they can’t decide (fair enough – but then turn up and spoil your ballot!) – or they really don’t care about the country. How very tragic to see us all end that way. But we, and our actions, are what will make this country work – or fail. Mary Lazier Corbett Picton

Is county prepared to be at top of list when outages are assigned?

Once we decide to use electrical power from the grid we are committed to the requirements of a centrallygenerated utility. The only decision at that point is how and where the power is generated. Last year, 2014, 62 per cent of Ontario's electrical power was generated by nuclear. As with all manufactured mechanisms, there is a design life expectancy. At the moment many of Ontario's nuclear reactors are at, or have, exceeded

their life expectancy. Several are on operating licences that have been extended beyond their expected design life. The six reactors at Pickering have all had their licences extended in 2013 to about 2019 at which time they are expected to be de-commissioned. Six of eight reactors at Bruce are scheduled to be rebuilt, as are all four of the reactors at Darlington. During the years that they are being refurbished, they are out of service.

No nuclear generating power plant has been built on time or on budget anywhere. The average budget overrun is 250 per cent. At the moment, the estimated cost of refurbishing the 10 reactors that are not being de-commissioned is 100 billion dollars. The U.S. estimate for building a new nuclear reactor works out to be about $0.95 per kWh. The estimate of the current cost of operating nuclear power in Ontario is about

$0.35 per kWh, but subsidies, including those from the military for weapons grade material, reduce the cost to customers somewhat. Ontario is financiallychallenged and may not wish to borrow the money to refurbish the 10 reactors in the short term. Already there are estimates that as early as the summer of 2020 there will be power shortages, either in the form of brownouts or total blackout periods due to the shutting

down of the nuclear reactors that have reached their designed end of life. Now that the county council is using taxpayers dollars to actively oppose any wind or solar generation in Prince Edward County, does that mean that the citizens of Prince Edward County will be at the top of the list when power outages are assigned?

Strategic voting might make sense if people seek change this election Strategic voting this time just might make sense. This isn t something I would normally consider doing. I like to think I vote on the issues that matter most to me and not any particular party. That said, the issues

that matter most to me do leave me leaning in a certain direction, politically I mean: like climate change... yes, there is such a thing Mr. Harper; public health care... no two-tier system for me; our military... what

happened to our once highly respected peace keeping force; a fair and transparent government... I know this one s asking a lot, but its way worse under the current government. This government treats

the opposition parties with contempt, not like the elected representatives of a majority of Canadian voters that they are. It s time for a change and under our first-past-the-post electoral system, when a

party can win a majority with just 39 per cent of the votes and act like a dictatorship, it s time to merge forces and toss them out! Sharon Stefan Wellington

Volunteers can play unexpected roles to help with County library operations

Volunteers play important roles at the library and many are doing more than shelving books. “There are so many ways that community members can contribute at the library — “and in ways perhaps they haven’t thought of,” says chief executive Barbara Sweet. Currently, volunteers play key roles in helping seniors co-ordinator Kate Konkin in delivering books and other materials to homebound library members as well as to retirement and nursing homes. As well, some of the phone calls to let people know books they have ordered are ready for pick up are made by volunteers. But some of the ways that may not seem as obvious are when community members share their interests through workshops, classes, or help the library hosts events. For example, Joe Skratt has for a number of years organized the free weekly drop-in chess club at the Picton branch, running from October until the spring each year. The games for both beginners –

INSIDE THE LIBRARY Christine Renaud

Joe is happy to teach – and experienced players happen every Tuesday downstairs from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Picton library. For the second year in a row, Catherine Langlois is generously sharing her skills as a zumba and yoga teacher for children with a six-week program beginning Tuesday, Sept. 22 from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the

Wellington branch library as part of the after school fun cub. Authors are often generous with their time, too, holding readings and talks to augment the library’s event offerings. This Friday, author John Oughton will be at the Picton branch speaking about his new mystery novel Death by Triangulation at 7.pm. and Vicki Delany will be our guest for a Tea & Talk on Wednesday, Sept. 30, also in Picton, at 2 p.m. Sept. 30 is also when library board member Ursula Cattelan will start teaching a four-week beginner bridge class upstairs at the Picton branch. For a number of years now, the library has been able to offer French language instruction in both the Milford and Wellington branches thanks to the help of Dorothy Spiers and Micheline Lortie and occasionally, we have had volunteers teaching Spanish. The possibilities for contributing are numerous. If you have an idea for a workshop to share a skill or have a presentation in mind, please send

an e-mail to crenaud@peclibrary.org or bsweet@peclibrary.org or call 613-476-5962 to discuss. The library will gladly help you with the logistics and promotion. If workshops or events don’t appeal to you, but you would like to contribute in other ways, such as helping on a regular basis with some type of library work or just on occasion at, for example, library book sales, you are encouraged to contact the volunteer, volunteer coordinator Jane Kopp at: janekopp58@hotmail.com Kopp is a recently retired secondary school principal with the District School Board of Niagara who also taught English for many years. “I have been an avid reader my entire life and so in retirement, it seemed a logical segue to volunteer at the local library,” says Kopp. “When the previous coordinator for the volunteers moved out of the county, she asked if I would take over her role,” explains

Jane of her new role. “Given that I am fairly new to the county and not knowing too many people, the role is a challenging one. It is my hope that we can attract more volunteers to the Prince Edward County libraries.” There are many openings for anyone who enjoys being around books, meeting people, contributing to the community and supporting the library through volunteering. Currently, the library is specifically looking for persons who might teach Conversational French, help with the after school children’s program in Wellington, and provide computer training. If you have any of these skills or would like to discuss how you might get involved in other ways as a volunteer with the library, contact Sweet at bweet@peclibrary.org or 613-476-5962. You may also view the library’s events calendar to see what is currently offered with regards to programs at www.peclibrary.org.

County gives points to biogas, rooftop solar projects Municipality declines opportunity to back Salem Road ground-mount solar panels for FIT4 CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

A pair of green energy projects received priority points from council under the FIT 4 program, while a third project was declined on Thursday. Council held a special meeting Thursday morning to hear deputations from those seeking priority points under the FIT (feed-in tariff) 4 program. While they aren't required, the points give the projects' proponents a better chance at securing an energy production contract through the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO). The FIT 4 program applies only to project with a capacity of between 10 and 500 kilowatts. The next FIT window opens on Sept. 30 and runs until Oct. 23 Council gave its support to a 114-kilowatt rooftop solar project near County Rd. 1 and to a 100-kilowatt biogas project proposed for Bloomfield,

while declining points to a 500-kilowatt ground-mount solar project proposed for Salem Road in Ameliasburgh. Resident Carol Reid said she lives on the west side of the proposed Ameliasburgh project and has many concerns about the impacts of such installations. Reid presented council with a petition of 28 names of neighbours opposed to the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's prime agricultural land, there's crops taken off of it every year,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There's wildlife in abundance â&#x20AC;&#x201D; turtles, fish, deer.â&#x20AC;? Reid said she's also concerned about the potential for glare from the solar panels and said not enough is known about their long-term impacts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being so close to it, I'm concerned about cancer and things like that,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's not really proven what it actually does, it's fairly new so with solar it's not really known what the long-term

effects will be.â&#x20AC;? She said there's a place for everything and she doesn't believe a small rural farm is the place for a large solar installation. No representative for the project spoke at the meeting and community development director Neil Carbone said, because of that fact, the project failed to meet the municipality's requirements for awarding priority points. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have simply not complied the first criteria, which is to make a presentation,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And they have not provided any information about siting their project on Class 4â&#x20AC;&#x201C;7 soils â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which is required â&#x20AC;&#x201D; whereas now right now it shows it on Class 2.â&#x20AC;? Carbone said the proponent can request to make the presentation at a later date and council can choose whether to hear it. Councillors were predominantly supportive of both the biogas and rooftop solar projects presented at last week's meeting. The biogas project's proponent, Bernard Prinzen of Prinsville Dairy Farms, said

he was looking to extend his current barn and needed a new manure storage container. He said he felt using the methane gas generated by the manure would be a good alternative to the usual openair container and could produce electricity while reducing smell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That's a good way of containing the odors that come from it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The odour is very much reduced, not always totally reduced, but it's very little.â&#x20AC;? He said the material left over after the digester processes the manure is coffee ground-like and can be used as fertilizer. Councillor Barry Turpin supported the biogas project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's a great idea,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's a great project, there are a number of these in Ontario and it's great to see one here and I'm totally supportive of it.â&#x20AC;? Councillor Kevin Gale agreed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like this for a lot of reasons,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From an aesthetic point of view, it's a lot more attractive than windmills or solar panels.â&#x20AC;?

County lends support to motions calling for funding fairness, opposition to Hydro One sale CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

County councillors gave their support to a pair of resolutions being circulated among Ontario municipalities last week. Committee of the whole approved a support motion for a private member's resolution from Perth-Wellington MPP Randy Pettapiece regarding fairness in the dispersement of provincial infrastructure funds, and supported a resolution from the County of Peterborough regarding opposition to the sale of Hydro One.

The motions will still have to be approved at council's Sept. 22 meeting. Pettapiece's resolution was brought forward for support by councillor Gord Fox. “It might be a little bit pie-inthe-sky, but I believe in the principle of the whole thing,” he said. “The money belongs to us and for political parties to play favourites with our money doesn't make sense to me.” Pettapiece's resolution says the government should guarantee that government-held ridings and opposition-held ridings be given equal and transparent consideration on infrastructure funding, and

that when funding decisions are made, should guarantee that all MPPs, whether in government or opposition, should be given fair and equal advance notice of the official announcement. Fox said politicians should have greater responsibility in how and where public money is spent. “I would like to see some kind of controls or sense of responsibility of politicians to spend our money wisely, put it where the need is, and not necessarily bump up their particular area because they happen to have a member of parliament there,” he said.

Mayor Robert Quaiff supported the resolution. He said he's seen firsthand the partisanship that takes place when infrastructure funding is announced. “We witnessed it firsthand when we received funding for County Rd. 3,” he said. “It was a third, a third, and a third and we had to hold off any kind of announcement for weeks because the federal government and the provincial government couldn't get together and agree on a date and time.” Eventually the announcement was made without a representative from the provincial government.

“The very next week they were a show in Belleville to help make that announcement for their infrastructure money,” he said. The support resolution was ultimately approved by the committee. The committee also supported the County of Peterborough's resolution calling on the provincial government to halt the sale of any part of Hydro One, to maintain the utility as a wholly owned public asset for the benefit of all Ontarians, and to strengthen Hydro One by investing in the next generation of workers and upgrading aging

infrastructure. Fox said he brought the resolution forward because he believes it doesn't make sense to sell off the asset. “They really don't have the permission from us, the taxpayers, to do this,” he said. “It's a political ploy. It's unfortunate, and unfortunately the only way to fight this is through the political system.” He said if enough municipalities support the resolution and reiterate the sentiment, he believes pressure can be put on provincial ministers to take a second look at the proposal. “Selling off an asset is not a smart thing to do,” he said.

Murray declines mayor’s request to meet Quaiff calls minister’s change in position ‘totally unethical’ CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

It looks like Prince Edward County Mayor Robert Quaiff won't be getting a meeting with the provincial environment minister after all. Last week, Quaiff received a response from the office of Minister of the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) Glen Murray indicating the minister would not meet with him to discuss the Green Energy Act. Murray said with wpd Canada's White Pines wind installation being appealed before the Environmental Review Tribunal (ERT), it wouldn't be appropriate to comment. Quaiff said the response is frustrating considering the minister had previously agreed to meet, and had done so knowing the project was being appealed. “That's what's shocking,” said Quaiff. “He understood it was before the tribunal and during our conversation I understood there would be certain things he wouldn't be able to address during a meeting.” Murray had previously said he wouldn't meet with Quaiff for a one-on-one session to talk about the County's concerns because the project was being appealed. However, when the minister met with county representatives at the 2015 Association of

Municipalities Ontario (AMO) annual conference in August, he committed to a one-on-one. “It's pretty frustrating, councillor (Brad) Nieman stood with me and heard the minister say we would meet within a couple of weeks.” He said after being contacted by ministry staff to discuss what specific questions would be asked, he was told the meeting would take place within a couple of weeks. A couple of days later, on Sept. 10, he was told that wouldn't be the case. “It was very, very shocking because my belief is, living here in Prince Edward County, that your word is your bond. You look a man in the eye, shake his hand and you have an agreement and that should be it,” he said. “For somebody to say 'no we're not having this meeting now' that's totally unethical, it's totally unprofessional.” Murray's response said the MOECC's role is to ensure green energy project proponents comply with Renewable Energy Approvals (REA) regulation. “Since this matter is currently before the Environmental Review Tribunal, it would not be appropriate for me to comment on or discuss this matter,” Murray's response said. “I would, however, be pleased to meet you after the Environmental Review Tribunal process has concluded to discuss my ministry's work going forward.” Quaiff said his questions

revolved mainly around the broader issues of the Green Energy Act and not specifically with the projects that are now before the ERT. He said the questions revolved around infrastructure, heritage, impacts on the economy, and the impact to sensitive habitats. “It was a discussion around the Green Energy Act, how it can be improved and where our concerns lay with it.” He said he wanted the opportunity to explain to the minister that Prince Edward County is doing its part when it comes to green energy generation. “When the sun is shining, we're producing more power than we're using and Prince Edward County should be acknowledged for doing its share of contributing to the grid,” he said. Quaiff said ministry staff even indicated there may be some questions the minister wouldn't be able to answer, and Quaiff said he respected that. Quaiff, however, said he'll take the minister up on the offer to meet following the ERT hearings. “I'm not ever going to quit,” he said. “I want to be able to provide information about the Green Energy Act and what I think are some areas that need to be addressed.” The ERT hearing for Gilead's Ostrander Point project is scheduled to continue Sept. 23–25. The wpd White Pines hearing is scheduled to begin Nov. 2.

Aman tells council heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see Wellington buildings demolished Abattoir operator says buildings his family once owned arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worth saving CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

At least one Wellington resident is asking council to move forward with the demolition of a recently purchased Wellington Main Street property. Wellington resident and owner of Aman's Abattoir Ted Aman said it's time for the building at at 282/284 Main Street to come down. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would like these buildings taken down as soon as possible,â&#x20AC;? he said. He said his family owned the property until 1987 and has been in the retail business on that corner since 1918. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to give you this brief history so that you understand the building's historical value to my family, no one else's family,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My family is in agreement that the buildings need to be taken down.â&#x20AC;? Aman said if the building is of historical significance â&#x20AC;&#x153;why wasn't it deemed a historical site years ago?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;If it is a historical site, then the abattoir â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which I own â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and my house, which is next door, must also be historical sites because they are the same age,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Aman showed councillors a few pictures he'd taken of the buildings in question, depicting what he said are rodent holes and rotting boards on the back side of the building. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is what I get to look at every day,â&#x20AC;? he said. He said he was disappointed that no representatives of the county contacted him regarding the building considering his proximity and family connection to it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In all this time, with all this discussion about these buildings, I was never consulted or asked anything about it,â&#x20AC;? he said. He said he'd support putting a new building on the property, but wouldn't support saving the existing building. He said saving the building is â&#x20AC;&#x153;not worth it.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;For 97 years we've been in business in downtown Wellington, but the voice of a few artists were heard much louder than mine,â&#x20AC;? he said. In late August councillors heard deputations from Wellington residents asking for time to investigate alternatives to demolishing the building. They suggested the building has heritage value to the village and attempts should be made to save all or a portion of it. The property had originally been purchased by the municipality with the intent of demolishing it in order to facilitate the Lane Creek

diversion project. The committee voted to refer the comments to staff for their inclusion in a report that will come to a future meeting following any public consultation sessions held regarding the future use of the property. In July, the municipality announced plans to hold a charrette-style public consultation to gather feedback

on what to do with the property once the work is complete. At the meeting in late August, Engineering, development, and works commissioner Robert McAuley suggested the work to replace the culvert running under the property could be pushed into next year. He said doing that would come with risks.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The risk is both to my permits, my approvals, and whether or not the building will actually be standing in another year overtop of that

creek,â&#x20AC;? he told councillors at the meeting. No date for the public consultation on the property has been set.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;a higher standard of home comfortâ&#x20AC;? TransCanada would like to take this opportunity to provide an update about changes to the Eastern Mainline Project that proposes to add new natural gas pipeline and compression facilities to our existing Canadian Mainline system in southern Ontario. New commitments with natural gas shippers, including Enbridge and Union Gas, have resulted in additional pipeline requirements in the City of Quinte West and the Townships of ElizabethtownKitley, Augusta and Edwardsburgh/Cardinal. This also means that the new pipeline originally proposed in the Municipality of South Dundas is no longer required. There are no anticipated changes to proposed compression facilities along the route. Upcoming open houses â&#x20AC;&#x201C; November 2015 While we continue engaging municipalities, landowners and other stakeholders along the proposed route, we are planning to host open houses in communities with additional pipeline requirements to share information and receive input. As part of our ongoing engagement program and to provide updated routing information, we are also planning to host open houses in Oshawa and Clarington. Open house details will be provided by email, through local newspaper and radio advertisements and will also be available on our website. Amendment to Project Application and new Project timeline TransCanada plans to file an Amendment to the Project Application with our regulator, the National Energy Board (NEB), detailing these changes later this year. We currently anticipate starting construction in early 2018, with facilities in-service by early 2019, pending the NEB review process and approval.

Our commitment to customers in Ontario and Quebec For over 60 years, TransCanada has provided businesses, homes, schools and hospitals in Ontario and Quebec with access to a safe, reliable and affordable source of natural gas. TransCanada has recently reached an agreement with Enbridge Gas Distribution, Union Gas and Gaz Metro that formally recognizes and outlines our continued commitment to provide sufficient natural gas capacity, while reducing transportation costs.

It's hard to imagine what the Hillier Township fathers of yesteryear would think if they were informed about the latter-day developments on Closson Road. The short crossroad that intersects Chase and Benway and connects Danforth Road with County Rd, 2 was an important link for grain and livestock farmers during the early formation days of Prince Edward County. It still is, but the diversity of agriculture endeavours combined with the current amount of road traffic has turned this quiet little two kilometre stretch of gravel into a bustling byway for those seeking wine or lavender or accommodations. Yes, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Golden Mileâ&#x20AC;? of Prince Edward County is coming of age and now it has its own web site. On Friday at Closson Chase Vineyards, an association of business owners and developers officially launched www.clossonroad.ca (the suffix .com is also associated with the web site), a marketing tool that offers Internet perusers the full scope of agri-tourism and viticulture businesses taking place along the roadway in central Hillier. The organizer that originally procured the domains two years ago, Richard Brzozowski, admitted enterprises along Closson Road had changed and varied over the last century but a number of the old County family names still remained. Closson is currently home to seven wineries and that

An alpaca farm, Bed & Breakfast operations and studios are also located here as wells as the continuing traditional agriculture businesses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Closson Road's diversity is quite significant and we can now boast the title of the most diverse county road,â&#x20AC;? Brzozowski said. Part of the reason Brzozowski bought the domains was tourists told him they we aware of Closson Chase or Grange but didn't know about the other facets along the road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They wished they had known about the lavender farm or Chetwyn Farms and their visit could have been enriched,â&#x20AC;? he added.

Smith asks Mauro to revoke Gilead permit

Prince Edward-Hastings MPP Todd Smith has asked Ontario’s Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry Bill Mauro to revoke a permit that would allow the killing, harm, and harassment of Blanding’s turtles at Ostrander Point. Smith wrote Mauro a letter referencing the testimony of species-at-risk expert Joe Crowley before the Environmental Review Tribunal. There, Crowley stated he “expressed significant con-

cerns” with the potential level of Blanding’s turtle mortality on the service roads for Gilead Power’s proposed wind park. Smith noted that in 2011 the Big Thunder wind project was planned for Mauro’s Thunder Bay-Atikokan riding and the then-natural resources minister refused to grant a permit to kill, harm, and harass peregrine falcons on the site of that project. “What I am asking is that the same standard that was

applied to your riding and your constituents be applied to my riding and constituents,” Smith wrote. In light of Crowley’s testimony, he called on Mauro to revoke the permit granted to Gilead Power and make public all documentation pertaining to Crowley’s and subsequent documentation and correspondence leading to the permit being issued.

While he said he totally supported Food for Learning's Feed the Meter campaign, councillor Jamie Forrester said the County could be donating more. He suggested eliminating the free parking in December and donating 75 per cent of what's collected in the month. However, the idea didn't gain traction as other councillors pointed out the free parking was meant to encourage holiday shopping in Picton's downtown core.

In December 2014, the program raised $1,800 in the county and in the last school year 85,906 meals and snacks were served in eight schools and two community sites in Prince Edward County alone.

approved by council at their Sept. 22 meeting before moving on. Councillor Lenny Epstein supported the motion, saying he believes many residents are prevented from physically attending the meetings for various reasons and streaming the meetings could improve community engagement in council issues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People who can't get out to meetings, for whatever reason, they'll still have an opportunity to either view in real time the goings on here, or they'll be able to go back at their earliest convenience and listen to a clip on a particular issue,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will give people accessibility and will also make what happens here more transparent for the people. For those two key reasons it's important to move forward.â&#x20AC;? A staff report presented to councillors at last week's

meeting says staff asked several municipalities â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including Quinte West, Belleville, and Oshawa â&#x20AC;&#x201D; about their experiences with streaming options. Staff came to the conclusion that the best option for the County would be offsite technical support and hosting, which would allow for live streaming of meetings, archived videos, the ability to select certain sections of video based on the meeting's agenda, and ongoing technical support. The report says staff received a few estimates on approximate pricing from several companies and came away with an estimated range between $4,500â&#x20AC;&#x201C;$20,000 for the purchase of a camera, hardware, and ongoing annual service fees.

restoration team that painstakingly took the ship from an empty shell to a working power boat. The final piece was a restored Griffon engine produced at about the same time as the original. Knowing the history behind the speed trials, Smith contacted the Prince Edward County Chamber of Tourism and Commerce to inquire about hosting a celebration. He was connected with Larry Ritchie who operates pontoon boat tours out of Picton harbour and they've planned for about a year to put the weekend together. The event will start Friday, Oct. 2 with the vintage boats arriving at the Loch Sloy Industrial Park (formerly Camp Picton) for a display at Hangar 4, which will last most of the day. Several dignitaries, including past Gold Cup-champion racers are expected for the show. Admission is $10. On Saturday, Oct. 3 at about 9, the boats will be

The event will end with a celebration dinner at the yacht club. Ticket information will be released soon on the web site www.thunderevents.ca Ritchie said it was a nobrainer to get involved with the event. "Everybody I talk to has stories. They say 'I remember that,' or 'my dad brought me there,' and I said this thing has to go," he said, adding he's not sure what kind of response to expect for a firsttime event. Ritchie credited Elizabeth Crombie of Royal Lepage for stepping forward and taking a chance as the sole sponsor for the weekend. The net proceeds from the weekend will support local charities.

Visitors to Saturday’s second annual Sandbanks New Waves music festival will have a chance to hear Sarah Harmer and six great indie bands for just $35 at the gate.

He said his dreams to see the power boat in the water appeared to come to an end with a reported fire at the Thompson Racing compound, but in 1969 Miss Canada IV was discovered near Detroit turned over and being used as a chicken coop on a farm. Harold Wilson bought back the boat, restored its hull and ran it on an exhibition tour in the United States as long as its structure would last. Following that run, he indicated the boat should be returned to Canada and made arrangements for it to go to a museum in Ingersoll. That was the end of the story until about five years ago. Harry Wilson and director Bill Plumstead were researching a film on Howard and Lorna Wilson's racing career when Harry ran into Jamie Smith in a Gravenhurst restaurant. Smith, a longtime powerboat enthusiast offered to raise funds for the project. Smith connected Wilson with Bobby Genovese, a collector of antique powerboats. He said he'd offer half the funding for the project if the men could deliver him another boat owned by the Wilson family. They contacted that Ingersoll museum and within 10 days, a deal was hammered out with one condition. "Bobby's comment was that this boat was not going to go into a private boathouse and disappear, it was going to go before the Canadian and world public and once again be the apple of the eye of the international boating scene, just as she was in October 1950. From there, Smith led a

That afternoon, the mediumand large-sized hydroplanes will run around a course on Picton Bay prior to the event most spectators looking for the nostalgia of Picton's boating past will be waiting for. "The grand finale of the day will be Miss Canada IV. We won't run her around the course — she's a much better boat going in a straight line than in four corners and we'll run her as fast as we can," Smith said. "We're going to run it as fast as it can go and that's probably in the 125miles-per-hour range." Smith said that run will last for about a mile, just as the trials did, then Miss Canada IV, driven by accomplished driver Norm Woods, will turn

Pirates go 1-2 in Trenton, expect competitive league Masterson says team showed well in loss against veteran-laden Napanee squad CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

The Picton Pirates completed their preseason this weekend with a 4–1 victory over the North Kawartha Knights. The team was able to wrap up their preseason on a positive note at last weekend's three-day Junior C tournament hosted by the Campbellford Rebels at RCAF Arena in Trenton. The Pirates lost 3–1 to Campbellford on Friday evening, before falling to the Napanee Raiders 4–1 on Saturday. On Sunday the Pirates were able to pick up the 4–1 victory over the Knights. Picton coach Chris Masterson said the tournament provided a chance to integrate systems and a chance for players to adjust. He said the tournament also gave the club a chance to evaluate the level of play that can be expected in the Empire league this season. “My impression from the weekend is it's going to be a pretty wide-open season,” he said. “All the teams are fairly evenly matched.” Masterson said he believes teams like the Napanee Raiders, who have a good number of returning veterans,

Campbellford, but Saturday against Napanee and Sunday against North Kawartha, for example, the forechecking system was almost perfect and I'm seeing a lot of growth there,” he said. While the team may have lost two out of three games during the tournament, Masterson said it was easy to see the team was putting in the work that will be critical to their success this season. “We just talked about it at practice last night, I'm extremely impressed with the work ethic of the guys,” he said. “From the 21-year-olds right down to the 16-year-old, everyone is working extremely hard and it's getting better and better every time we're on the ice.” Masterson said now that the roster is solidified a bit more, players are getting more comfortable and the work ethic is increasingly shining through on the ice. “Every practice it's getting better and better and better,” he said. “The guys are excited for the season to start.” That was certainly the case COLLECTING THE DISC Picton Pirates defenceman James Pero corrals the puck behind his own net with Campbellford skaters Jeremy for the team's 4–1 victory over Doherty and Austin Fry in pursuit during the opening frame of the Pirates’ 3–1 loss to the Rebels last Friday.

Senior Panthers look to run and produce points off transition this year Young group looks to build game plan that can lead to success over the next two years ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

DISHING IT OFF Senior Panther Mackenzie Leavitt passes the ball while defended by new PECI player Kylie Moyer during practice last Thursday. (Adam, Bramburger/Gazette staff)

The PECI Senior Basketball Panthers are shaping up to be a transition team in more ways than one. Coach Rob Garden finds himself with a team that has seven of 11 players moving up from the junior ranks this year, so he’s looking at a two-year development window with a team that earned Bay of Quinte silver medals the last time many of its players suited up together in the maroon and white.

“I’m going to depend on the players moving up a little more heavily than I normally would in a senior season, but that’s just the makeup of our team this year,” said Garden. “We’ll develop this year and see what happens and then next year, let’s go for it.” As part of that building process and cognizant of fact Ontario high school basketball will introduce a shot clock in 2016, the Panthers are also approaching their game plan differently than they have the past few years.

Quick transition and quick offence will be the name of the game going forward. “We’re going to try to shake things up a bit this year,” said Garden. “Our focus is always on defence — and we always try to play good, hard, aggressive defence, but we’re going to try to score 40-50 points on offence this year… We’ve talked early about running a little more and having a little less structure and a bit more readand-react this year.” That game will be led by

guards Hailey Van Rossum, a returning starter, and Casey Hegadorn who often look to push up the court. Garden said the offence is designed to have the girls understand they can score early in a shot-clock situation. He said it’s tailored to Van Rossum’s playing style “Hailey will run against any team. She’ll push the ball no matter who she’s up against and the goal is to get everyone else into that style of play.”

Dukes grab a win in Cobourg Monday for the first time in nearly two years Wellington bounces back well after loss to red-hot Burlington Saturday JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER

If you thought it might have been a long time since the Wellington Dukes tasted victory at the Cobourg Community Centre, you aren't wrong. Entering play Monday night in the Cougar Den, Wellington had last won a regular season game at in Cobourg Sept.30, 2013, nearly two years ago. After taking it on the chin in Burlington to the surprisingly undefeated Cougars 72, the Dukes were going to need a full out effort to bounce back against a team that pounded the host Kingston Voyageurs 10-1 a day prior. Well, that's what organization got Monday as Wellington dropped the Cougars 3-1 to move their record to 2-2-0. The young squad got a pair of goals from Chase St. Aubin and rookie Brodie Maracle bagged his second of the season in the second period which stood up as the game winner. Anthony Popovich was outstanding in the Wellington net, stopping 29 Cougar volleys for his second win of the season. If you asked him going into the start of the regular season which was road game heavy (Wellington will play its fifth game as visitor tonight in Kingston), Dukes coach and general

has earned both his clubs victories this season, winning back-toback road starts in Orangeville and Cobourg. (OJHL Images )

manager Marty Abrams would have likely taken a split of the first four contests as the young team gets its Junior A hockey legs underneath itself. Abrams said he was concerned heading into Monday's game that there would be some after effects from the Burlington loss. “I was concerned going into the game. We have a young team with a lot of first-year players but they came out strong and played with energy. I was very proud of the response and it was a total team effort,”

Abrams said of the second win of the season. “We had great shifts from everyone, got some great goaltending and we had no passengers. We played the full 60 min-

utes and that's what we need to do to be successful.” Popovich has been a pleasant surprise for Dukes fans thus far into the season. He held the Orangeville Flyers off the score sheet until late in the second period of his first OJHL game and was able to handle the adversity that comes with playing the Cougars in Cobourg. “He's played very well and he has earned his starts and will get more in the future,” Abrams added. As for Saturday's game, the Burlington Cougars are looking like the early favourites to win the West Division, going undefeated in regulation (5-0-1) to start the season. Whether Wellington was stick happy or couldn't keep up with their older opponents, the Dukes found the Alder St. Arena sin bin five separate times and five times the locals would exit prior to the full two minutes on their minor penalty expiring. “I can't really say whey it played out the way it did but our special teams were not good and when that happens on the road, you are in for a long game and it was a long afternoon,” Abrams said.

Down 3-0 in late in the second, Aidan Girduckis scored his first junior goal of his career to get Wellington back into the contest at 3-1 but Burlington reestablished their lead on (what else but) a power-play goal at the end of the frame. Another first-year Duke Tyler Burnie notched his first goal in the third but it wasn't nearly enough for Wellington as they lost the contest going away. Perhaps worse than the special teams results for Wellington on Saturday was the performance of starting netminder Austin Washkaruk. The OJHL vet has been hung out to dry a few times in his two starts against elite OJHL teams but surely Abrams was expecting better than an 8.16 average and a .754 save percentage. “He's a veteran and he's been through the ups and down in this league,” Abrams said. “He'll get the start Thursday and we need

him to have some confidence and success. Down the stretch we need to be good and at some times spectacular and we all know he is capable of providing us with that type of goaltending.” 'Round the Roc: In error, the Wellington-Burlington game sheet indicated Brody Morris playing for the Dukes but the rearguard is still with the Hamilton Bulldogs of the OHL...Ben Sokay assisted on both St. Aubin goals Monday. Defenceman Jake Falcao had assists in back-to-back games while Nick Devito had three assists this weekend. Kingston will be looking for its first win under new coach Taurean White at the Invista Centre tonight. Wellington and the Vees play in the Dukes home opener Friday and then Wellington closes out its weekend on Sunday afternoon in Lindsay where they play the Muskies. Puck drop is at 2 p.m... Goaltender Oliver Lafreniere was returned to the club from the Ottawa 67’s this week.

The Picton Gazette

PEFACâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new chair lift also featured in poolside ceremony DECADE, from page 2

Halman also thanked the original board of directors and those who have come since, working tirelessly to offer the best fitness facility possible to the broader community. He also thanked those politicians who have supported the project, including current Mayor Robert Quaiff, who sat on council during PEFAC's genesis. Quaiff said the requests for funding to support a previously private club created much debate at the time, however, his physician was the one who convinced him it was the best thing to do. "I went to my own doctor for a follow-up to back surgery. He said, 'If you can envision PEFAC as being part of your health-care system in Prince Edward County, you're doing

something.' That was my ohah moment. I did get it." Since 2004, the County has invested $893,500 into the facility as PEFAC has offered residents an avenue to help prevent negative health outcomes and offered its space for rehabilitation efforts, like the Prince Edward Family Health Team's cardiac recovery program. While Monday's ceremony featured much reminiscing, it also marked a spring board into the future as it marked the official debut of a hydraulic chair lift, replacing one the Lesters had in the RecPlex years ago. PEFAC board member Brian Mellor said the idea came about 10 months ago as a method to help people with accessibility concerns swim. Quickly, supporters came on board for the project estimated at between $6,000-$8,000.

The Stark Family Fund gave an initial $5,000 and donors started to chip in. Mellor said some of the larger donors were recognized on a plaque. One such influential donor was Dick Pease who stopped by the bank on the want to the club and drew out 10 $100 bills to make a contribution in memory of his wife Mary who died in May. Another anonymous donor visited PEFAC general manager Meloni Crandall, asked how much was still

outstanding and wrote a cheque for the last $1,500. After Quaiff cut the ribbon, the dignitaries watched as volunteer Nicole Leavens was lowered into the water. The chair barely made a sound as it swung out over the water, then lowered until Leavens was ready to swim. The week-long anniversary celebration continues throughout the week with free demos today and a free movie in the pool at 5 p.m. tomorrow.

The Prince Edward County Barn Quilt Trail hit the century mark on Monday. The local folk art initiative that sees oversized painted quilt panels installed on barns and buildings along the road side installed the 100th, 101st and 102nd such pieces at Hagerman Farms just west of the roundabout. The county's largest outdoor art gallery has grown in leaps and bounds since a pair of panels were among the first installations in 2013 and are a hit among first-time visitors to the area. “We always have new customers stopping by to take pictures,” Jodie Lavender of Hagerman's Farm said. “They seem to be a hit.” Like the quilts on the dairy barn, the new panels on the drive shed have some significance to the family. The right panel comes from a quilt in honour of Irene and

the late Lyle Hagerman's 40th wedding anniversary in 2005 while the centre quilt is from Irene's mother's quilt. The far left quilt is a patriotic design by the trail organizers. On hand for the Monday's unveiling was Mary Simpson of Ontario Barn Quilt Trails.

Simpson said there are between 10 and 15 organized barn quilt trails in Canada. “I'm very thrilled that Prince Edward County and organizer Pat Dubyk picked up on the barn quilts movement and it's just taken off,” Simpson said. “My passion is

rural community development I've been watching what's been going on here and barn quilts are just made for Prince Edward County.” She added in her tours of the trail, there are more vacant barns that have beautiful gables that are “crying out for a barn quilt.” Also on hand Monday was Prince Edward County Mayor Robert Quaiff. The local leader offered his heartiest congratulations to Dubyk and those associated with the trail. “It seems there's a pleasant surprise every time you turn around in Prince Edward County and it's the dedicated people that host the quilts, the dedicated people that paint them, and dedicated people who organize them, so hats off to them,” Quaiff said. “It really adds to the charm and beautification of the county and adds to our uniqueness. The barn quilt trail is part urban, part rural and it speaks to what kind of community Prince Edward County really is.”

Music Festival opens Friday, features Brahms in its 12th year ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

The Prince Edward County Music Festival will open for its 12th year Friday night with lineup that features a broad range of music while still staying true its classical roots. "I think this may just be the finest program we've had so far and also the most varied," said chair Ted Schaner. "We always try our best but I think the artistic director (Stephane Lemelin)

just did really well this year." Lemelin has chosen to feature chamber music composer Johannes Brahms this year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; both his works and pieces that are stylistically similar or inspired by him. It also features the work of contemporary Canadian composers Dinuk Wijeratne and Gary Kulesha. Neither composer has had his work featured at the festival in the past. Tomorrow's concert fea-

tures the Montreal-based New Orford String Quartet playing the music of Kulesha, Beethoven, and Brahms at St. Mary Magdalene Church, starting at 7:30 p.m. Violinst Jonathan Crow said in a release he is looking forward to the group's return to Picton. "I'm excited to be coming back to beautiful Prince Edward County to perform

in the Church of St. Mary Magdalene â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one of Canada's acoustical gems," he said. "I've performed at the PEC Music Festival over the years and have witnessed it grow into one of Canada's finest chamber music festivals with the support of a wonderful local communities."

Festival audiences have grown steadily Exhibition raises funds for local hospital MUSIC, from page 29

This Saturday the Gryphon Trio will give a concert featuring Brahms, Wijeratne, and Beethoven with a 7:30 p.m. start at St. Mary Magdalene. The multiple Juno Awardwinning trio has been performing together for 22 years. On Sunday, the Arion Baroque Orchestra will perform the music of Telemann, Vivaldi, and Bach during a 2 p.m. matinee. Next Thursday, the festival takes advantage of the county's culinary scene with the Impressions de France dinner concert with classical harpist Caroline Loenardelli and mezzo-soprano Julie Nesrallah recreating an impressionist period French salon concert at Huff Estates.

"We've grown from one weekend to two weekends and we have seven concerts, not including the schools concert. Audiences have been steadily growing each year and half of these audiences aren't from the county. They come here specifically for the festival." This year's schools concert will be held in the spring. For tickets, please visit www.pecmusicfestival.ca, call 1-877-411-4751, or visit the Regent Theatre. Depending on availability tickets for all shows except the dinner concert will be available at the door.

That Saturday, soprano Patricia O'Callaghan will be featured at the Regent Theatre. She will offer a collection of German and French cabaret songs. Schaner said it's a can'tmiss show and a departure from chamber music. The festival closes with Roses from the South, a matinee next Sunday.

“Each one of the specials got a very nice, large ribbon with our 180th on it and our new logo.” The fair was again packed with attractions and events this year. The gates opened at 8:30 Friday morning and by 1 p.m. the grounds were packed. The annual Tim Hortons Baby Show was a big draw as proud parents and grandparents crowded into the curling club, as was the annual tractor pull in front of the grandstand. On Saturday morning judges Mary Everall, Don King, and Ken Menlove tasted confectionery creations during the eighth annual bake-off challenge. Rhonda Harrison's “Old MacDonald's Farm” took home top honours in the white cake category and best overall. Once the winners were crowned auctioneer Creighton Carr entertained as he took bids. While totals weren't finalized as of Monday, Lounsberry said the auction brought in more than $1,300 that will be donated to support Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital. “It's marvelous,” he said. “Even in the bad weather (residents) come out to support us. We love our hospital.” Harrison's cake alone was auctioned off for $200. “That cake went for the highest price and that actually

went to the people who own the midway,” said Lounsberry. “They're a huge sponsor for our fair too. Without them and their help, the fair would not be what it is.” Lounsberry said Tim Hortons also helped raise funds for the hospital. The company's mobile shop was on site and all funds raised through sales were donated. The coffee was donated by Picton Tim Hortons. “Every dollar that went through the truck was donated to the hospital.” The opening of the fair again coincided with Essroc Italcementi Group's Artist of the Year award presentation. Consecon's Margret Battig took home the honour. This is Battig’s second time winning.

Battig's painting depicts Consecon Main Street as she sees it driving into town each day. She said she has a deep connection to the town and that she tries to make that shine through in her artwork. “I have a lot of passion for Conseson,” she said. “Consecon has a lot of history. Consecon was a very busy town in 1960 when I first came there, but since it has really declined. I just wanted to put it on the map.” With a plethora of sponsors and a significant crew of volunteers, Lounsberry said everyone deserved thanks for making the fair a success. “We have the finest volunteers a group could ever have,” he said.

Transfer Moyer promises to be strong post player Season starts this Sunday PANTHERS, from page 20

The fourth-year Panther said she loves the idea already. “I love the fundamentals of basketball, but definitely when you can run up the floor and go to layups, layups, layups and beat them on the floor, I really love that kind of game,” she said. A first passing option in the offence is Vanessa Willis off the wing. The power forward was a junior all-star and has played juvenile rep basketball in Kingston. Garden said there’s no question the Panthers will lean heavily on her again this year in all facets of play. “She’s a premier player in the entire league. For me and for our team, she is an important piece and she’s going to be counted on just like she is on any team,” he said. “Her league with the Kingston Jewel prep team has given her a new level of confidence. She wants to be the one with the ball and the girl in all those situations. She’ll be a big part of our offence, I have no doubt.” Last year in junior ball, the Panthers sometimes ran into difficulty when teams keyed on Willis. The Panthers believe they’ve found some ways to balance the attack through luck and hard work. The luck comes in the form of Kylie Moyer, a tall, athletic post player who transferred from Sioux Lookout this fall. Though she’s adapting to a new system, signs are she’s fitting in well. “She’s a tremendous athlete and she’s going to fit in nicely with these girls,” said Garden. “Between her and Vanessa, once they get some chemistry, I think we have dynamic forward duo there.” Van Rossum said she felt her new teammate was strong under the basket scrimmaging, like a “brick wall” on defence. She also noted that Moyer is a lefthanded player like she and Willis — a rare combination for many basketball team that may throw off defenders. Twins Casey and Allison Hegadorn joined Van Rossum on a County Clippers team that played in a Loyalist College summer league against older women and they also attended a skills development camp in the summer. They’ve come in showing confidence and an ability to take on larger roles. Returning seniors Marlee

HAILEY VAN ROSSUM

Van Vlack and Mallory Lindsay will be looked upon to show some leadership this year, while Lydia Snider, a forward who played her first year in Grade 10 and saw more and more playing time and points down the stretch could have a real breakout year. Guard Hannah Smith also comes into the season after a strong debut in Grade 10 and Mackenzie Leavitt will be counted on for her speed. Lynsey Corbin is a hardworking defender. Compared to other teams in the Bay of Quinte loop, Garden figures the young Panthers will likely be similar in size under the basket, but perhaps a bit undersized on guard. Again, that’s an area where the diminutive Van Rossum’s leadership will be a factor. “If she’s rebounding against everybody, there’s no reason our taller and bigger girls can’t get dirty as well,”

the coach said. Van Rossum said there is some pressure in taking on a leadership role, however the team is tight and the girls will share the burden of responsibility for their development together. “We look good. It’s a great team we had two years ago, getting that silver medal and I’m excited to see if we can get back up there and really take it,” she said. “Most of us have played together before. There’s only a couple girls coming up who weren’t playing with the team. There has been some adjusting, but we’ve done that. We have a lot of chemistry together.” While the Panthers are looking for more Bay of Quinte and COSSA playoff

experience and hardware over the next couple years, they also have a longer term goal in mind. The team has scheduled a tournament in Hawaii in December 2016, so that will be something to else to work toward. The team will travel to Kingston this weekend for a preseason tournament, one of three events the Panthers have planned already for this season with the others being in Ottawa and Belleville. Garden said he’s eager to see the girls get into game action. “It was great to get started early,” he said. “Now we’re jumping into the fire to play (Kingston’s) top teams, it is always good to get on the court and stop just practicing.”

“We managed to have discipline and stay out of the box, which is something I've been preaching and has been a bit of a challenge for us thus far,” he said. “That really turned it around for us and we managed to dominate the rest of the game.” Forechecking and the penalty kill were also on point, he said. “Guys were enthusiastic, that's the bottom line,” he said. “Everyone seemed eager to get that first win of the preseason and get ready

They'll face the Jets in Amherstview on Sunday, Sept. 20 at 7:30 p.m. Masterson said the club will have to have a defence-first mentality and work hard to be successful. “Those are the two things we've been preaching so far and for us, as a team, it's got to be that collective mentality of defence first and hard work,” he said. The Pirates will then take on Campbellford at home on Sept. 24 at 7:30 p.m.
