Hospitals, Cancer Society extract benefit from Hillier’s Grapes of Wrath AdAm BrAmBurger Staff writer

It wasn't the typical weekend excursion to a county winery.

Sipping whites and reds, sampling innovative cuisine, and relaxing on the patio was replaced with crawling through mud, carrying bags of sand up and down hill, climbing walls, and lots of running.

That said, the day's itinerary didn't seem to keep many away from Hillier Creek Estates, even amid a steady downpour as more than 420 participants and about 150 volunteers took part in the inaugural Prince Edward County Grapes of Wrath Stomp and Romp adventure race.

All told, they brought in $79,000 and counting to help the Picton and Trenton hospitals and Canadian Cancer Society.

Julie Naven and Andrew Galway made their way through the vineyards as they took their turn trying 14 different obstacles set up by military volunteers from CFB Trenton. The obstacles are designed to challenge the participants as they made their way through a fivekiometre maze.

Naven said she was kind of caught off guard when she committed to participate.

"This is our first time doing anything like this.

One of my co-workers ran-

domly asked me, 'Do you want to do a five-kilometre charity run?' I said sure, then he told me what it was all about. By then, I was already roped in."

Just four or five obstacles in Naven said they were doing well with the obstacle course, with one of the hardest things being the pebbly, rocky terrain that participants might roll their feet on.

"We're doing good so far, but I'm sure we'll find one obstacle that we hate," she said, while Galway, doing an exercise called burpies that replaced an

unsafe obstacle added comically "If we don't die first."

He continued the good humour, adding that "insanity" was a motivation for taking part in the challenge, instead of the notion that it was truly for a good cause.

Wendy Warner, the executive director of the Trenton Memorial Hospital foundation was moving around the grounds in a golf cart, talking to media and watching the 70 teams traverse the winery.

The revitalization of the Royal Hotel is going to change everything for Picton.

That's the message developer Greg Sorbara delivered to an overflow crowd at the Picton Rotary Club luncheon Tuesday as he provided an update on his plans for the historic Main Street landmark.

"That building — that beautiful pile of stone and concrete — has been like a burden and a weight on the main street for far too long, not withstanding its great history," Sorbara said. "We need to get this done. Picton, Prince Edward County, and the tourism region beyond need to see this happen."

The former Ontario finance minister contended the Royal can be the centrepiece of a redevelopment of Main Street that would give Picton a true civic centre, bringing together people and building civic pride.

"Trust me, that will not happen unless this hotel project is successful. It just won't," he said.

Sorbara, who owns a family farm in Sophiasburgh, recalled his interest in local history being piqued on shopping trips in downtown Picton with his wife Katie. While shopping at the former Presbyterian church, he decided it would be a neat acquisition for he and his children to redevelop. His offer on that property was ultimately rejected and he recalls being heartbroken when it was torn down. Last summer, Sorbara recalls shopping at City Revival and walking past the tired building about a block to the west.

"I was just looking at the Royal and thinking somebody has to buy this building, renovate it and bring it back to life. Then I thought, I guess that has to be me," he said. "I got in touch with (then-owner) Peter Sage and it wasn't long before I was the owner of a very derelict building right on the main street of Picton."

As word of the purchase spread, Sorbara said he learned much of the 130

S E C T I O N

greg SOrBArA

year history of the building, from the gallant military balls it used to host, right down to stories of underage drinking and other shenanigans.

Fast forward a year.

Though not much has changed on the street around the property, much has taken place to shape the redevelopment efforts. Sorbara said he's still in the planning stages with respect to what the hotel will look like, but he's nearing the stage where he can go to the County for approvals.

To start with, Sorbara said he ruled out Sage's concept of having three floors of condominiums above the hotel, noting his people didn't feel it was a viable economic proposal and any proponent of that would have to build an additional foundation as the existing one isn't strong enough to support building.

Instead, the plan is to maintain the same footprint and make minor changes to the existing three floors with the idea of creating a hotel with the best of modern amenities, while preserving heritage.

"It will probably have 28 or 30 rooms on two floors.

They will be very attractive rooms. Once someone comes to stay there, we want to make sure they are very comfortable indeed."

Sorbara acknowledged the facade of the upper two floors is protected by a heritage designation, so that area will remain virtually unchanged, save for a few windows that open.

Splash pad committee selects fairgrounds site, works on design options Group expects it will need to raise $250,000 for park that includes flow-through water system, looks to County for operating funds ChAd IbbotSoN

STAff wRITER

Hopes for a splash pad in Prince Edward County still haven't been washed away.

Since their last presentation to Prince Edward County council, the splash pad committee has been working diligently on design plans, researching water systems, and examining potential locations to bring the issue back to councillors.

A December 2013 vote to include an additional $30,000 in the 2014 community centres and arenas operating budget for a potential splash pad was defeated, but it hasn't stopped the splash pad committee from continuing to work on the project. The group will present their work at the next committee-of-thewhole meeting on Sept. 25 at

1 p.m.

Splash pad committee members Susan Quaiff, Scott Wentworth, Phil St. Jean, and Ryan Aldred spoke to the Gazette on Monday about their progress on the project, and what they'll be seeking from councillors next week.

“In February or March we weren't feeling very hopeful, so we sort of backed away from it, but we have some great committee members that wanted to hang in here and found it's something we really need here in the community,” said Quaiff.

From there the committee — through St. Jean — organized a July meeting with various service clubs in the community. Quaiff said several of the clubs responded with letters of support for the splash pad project.

To this point the commit-

tee has narrowed potential sites for the splash pad to just one — a parcel behind the Picton skate park and adjacent to the quonset hut.

“The reason I'm so heart set about being in Picton is we have our low-income housing in Picton,” said Quaiff. “We have a lot of families without vehicles and they're never going to be able to get to the beach and they're never going to get a swimming either.”

Wentworth volunteered his time to provide conceptual artwork of the location to visualize the finished project.

“Currently there's a fence line that runs across, but it's just separating this vacant land that doesn't really have much purpose right now,” said Wentworth. “It's a good little spot. It's a very costeffective place to build it. The water is right there, all the servicing is right in that spot.”

Wentworth said the Picton fair board is in full support of the location.

“It creates a great dynamic with what's there already with the playground and the skatepark,” he said.

The committee is propos-

ing to do all of the fundraising for the project, which is expected to be in the $250,000 range. The proposal is for a flow-through water system.

Quaiff said a lot of municipalities are switching to flow-through systems as opposed to circulating water systems because of maintenance issues.

“We're confident we've researched this well and this is the best system to go with,” she said.

Quaiff said the committee is seeking council's approval to use the parcel, and for the municipality to include the operating costs in future budget discussions. The committee estimates the

operating costs will be no more than $30,000 per year.

Aldred said that $30,000 figure is a worst-case-scenario, however. He noted that many comparable municipalities utilizing the same systems that are being proposed have found operating costs to be below expectations.

“Napanee budgeted around $45,000 and their actual was around $21,000 for last year,” he said. “Thus far this year it's at close to $7,000 two months in.”

He said the splash pad committee also recommends residents who support the project write to the municipality to say so.

“A lot of people in the summer aren't necessarily going to have the transportation to get out to Sandbanks and it's a shame we don't have something right here in town where they can go and play and escape the heat,” said Aldred.

He said when the plan was first envisioned back in 2001 it was bold. He said today, it's the norm.

“Back in 2001 this was very audacious and a plan that showed a lot of vision. It still shows a lot of vision, but a lot of municipalities in the area have gone ahead with this,” said Aldred.

“Gananoque has them, Napanee has them — smaller towns like Frankford and

Bobcaygeon have splash pads now.”

He said Prince Edward County runs the risk of lagging behind, and amenities like the splash pad could make the difference for young families planning a move.

“It's something that's going to start holding us back,” he said.

Aldred said if the project moves forward there are plenty of opportunities to offset costs. As an example, he said the municipality could license food trucks to set up outside the splash pad. Additionally he said the municipality could set up a donation box or explore sponsorship opportunities with service clubs.

St. Jean said splash pads have become an important resource for communities.

He said it would enhance everything that currently exists at the fairgrounds.

“It started with the playground structure and the skatepark — it's just a natural extension to creating a much better use of that recreation space,” he said.

Quaiff wants to encourage all who support the splash pad project to visit the Picton splash www.facebook.com/PictonSplashPad — and to come to next week's committee-of-thewhole meeting to speak in support.

It’s lucky seven for Legion’s chili champion Martin Weiland wins blind taste test again despite challenge from Branch 78 caterer AdAm BrAmBurger

“We stick together through all kinds of weather.”

Love, your children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Soggy weather Saturday made it an ideal day for eating chili, yet the Picton Legion's annual Chili Fest suffered from people staying out of the weather that afternoon.

"We were expecting to have about twice as many people here," said organizer Bob Langabeer, who indicated they were still able to accommodate everyone inside as Little Bluff played music.

Those people who stayed away also missed some good chili. Some 10 entrants took part in the blind taste-testing event with entries in the mild, hot, wild, and unusual categories. Despite all of the variety, however, it was again Martin Weiland who tantalized the judges' tastebuds.

the various crocks of home cooking on display, and showed his was completely empty, while many of the other entrants still had some of their offerings left over.

"Maybe next year I should do two," he said.

Weiland earned the title of chill champ for the seventh straight year. The winner indicated that despite honing the perfect recipe, he doesn't really eat chili all that much and he never even knew it existed while growing up in the Netherlands. He happened to eat it once while stopping in South Carolina and decided he would try his hand at making it at home.

While his wife Rita does most of the cooking in his household, Weiland is pretty particular when it comes to chili, right down to shopping for his own ingredients to add more flavour.

"You never want to skimp on ingredients," he said. "It's like a stew, you put a lot of stuff into it."

Though he volunteered there is a dash of red wine in his recipe, Weiland said most of the details will remain secret as he tries to stay true to his winning recipe time and again.

This year, Kelly Baverstock-Manlow, Branch 78's own caterer, took home second place for a wild moose variety of chili that she tried out specifically for Saturday's event.

"It's not my favourite, but I was trying to cater to the judges," she said. BaverstockManlow said one of her secrets when making a chili

featuring wild game is to add in more sweet vidalia onions than she would otherwise in an attempt to draw out the wild flavour.

She took the results as a vote of confidence, but joked that she should have been the winner.

"I think it was rigged because, well, you can't give the caterer first place," she said. "It would have been awful if I didn't get anything though."

Baverstock-Manlow did say, however, it was nice to be able to come to an event at the Legion and not have to worry about cooking and serving, but rather her own entry and enjoying herself.

She tried a few of the

chilis and gave her professional opinion that her peers were onto something.

"They were all delicious, and they were all quite different."

Langabeer said he found it interesting that Weiland once again won the cook-off, noting that nobody but himself had knowledge which pot was which. He added, however, that it wasn't a quick vote.

"There were 10 different people in it (up from eight last year) and the judges had a hard, hard time," he said. "They must have sampled for a good 20 minutes. They had to determine first to third over four different categories. Again, it was a hard, hard time."

Tom Van Hecke took third place and Jon Beimers had an honourable mention.

Langabeer said the branch was fortunate to have many volunteers working together to make the event a successful start to Legion Week.

Macdonald Project committee eyes Canada Day unveiling Sculpture backers give council three possible sites Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

If representatives of the Macdonald Project of Prince Edward County have their way, Canada Day 2015 will include a county-wide celebration of Canada's first prime minister.

Macdonald Project steering committee chair David Warrick was in Shire Hall last week, asking councillors to consider several recommendations. Councillors were supportive and committeeof-the-whole voted to have staff bring back a report on the requests.

Warrick said Macdonald's story is important both locally and nationally.

“It's a great untold story of Prince Edward County,” said Warrick.

First, he asked councillors to accept the gift of the Ruth Abernethy sculpture of John A. Macdonald entitled “Holding Court” for unveiling on Canada Day, 2015.

The bronze sculpture depicts Macdonald's first court case, which took place at the Picton Courthouse.

Second, the steering committee asked councillors to accept their recommendation to install the sculpture on one of three recommended sites in downtown Picton — in front of Picton Library, on the North East corner of Armoury Square, or on Armoury mall property beside the building's walkway.

Warrick said the steering committee could consult with municipal planners and

ing Financ ble Availa

daVId WaRRICK

the community development commission to select the best site.

The steering committee also asked for a letter of endorsement for the Macdonald Project to assist with funding applications.

Lastly, the project's leaders asked for council's assistance in co-ordinating Canada Day celebrations across the municipality leading into the unveiling ceremonies.

Warrick said the steering committee is considering a four-day celebration for the occasion.

“We're going to unveil this on Canada Day and we need co-ordination of celebrations and activities,” said Warrick. “There are a number of celebrations planned in Wellington and various communities … we want a big celebration in downtown Picton to unveil this.”

He said Shire Hall could play a leadership role in bringing all the parties together.

“We want to work cooperatively so that — from Ameliasburgh to Sophiasburgh — everyone is involved in this,” said Warrick.

He said Macdonald left

the county when he was 20, but not before becoming an attorney and beginning his career in public administration, serving as a polling clerk for the 12th legislative assembly of Upper Canada.

“He became an attorney here, few people realize that,” said Warrick.

“Kingston claims he became a lawyer there, it's not true.

He became an attorney in Picton, he became a barrister in Kingston.”

Warrick said the steering committee hopes to make the unveiling of the completed sculpture a national event, first unveiling it at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel in Toronto on Jan. 11 — the 200th anniversary of Macdonald's birth.

Warrick said the sculpture can be used as a tourist attraction and a national branding icon for the county.

“The community development commission could use this as an icon. It could be put on banners on the main

street,” he said. “If this were the United States it would be the equivalent of Abraham Lincoln and the story of his early years — and that's a billion dollar business if you've been to Springfield, Illinois.”

He said the sculpture could also become a new public meeting place, and somewhere for visitors to learn about the county and the Quinte region.

The bust of Macdonald, Warrick said, is currently being displayed in several places from Calgary to Kingston.

Councillor Barry Turpin was among those who expressed support for the project.

“It's an excellent idea, an excellent plan going forward,” he said.

Councillor Terry Shortt concurred.

“I'm truly impressed a group of historians has come together to fundraise and make a gift of such an incredible statue,” he said.

PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY

Looking back in the

Picton Gazette 90 years ago — 1924

n Ontario’s Lieut.-Gov. Harry Cockshutt was present to open the annual Picton Fair. He said he was very familiar with Prince Edward County from previous visits and believed it to be a “fine farming and fruit growing county” with lots of attractions for the tourists. He also indicated he felt Ontario was one of the finest areas he had travelled to in the Empire and felt its population would swell greatly in future years. n The provincial cabinet executed an order-in-council allowing appointments of officials for the pro and con sides of the prohibition debate the status of candidates to appoint representatives and scrutineers for the Oct. 22 plebiscite vote. n George Lazier was given a suspended two-year sentence for neglecting to put lights on his truck, an act deemed to have caused the death of Robert Brown who rode a bicycle into the parked vehicle.

70 years ago — 1944

n Gilbert Badgley, 91, of Big Island managed to catch a 20-pound muskie while trolling on the Bay of Quinte. The fish knocked the plug out of his boat, but Badgley managed to replace it and row to shore before dragging it up the grassy slope to his home. n Finance minister James Isley challenged Canadians to come up with $1.3 billion in the seventh installment of the Victory Loan campaign to finance the war effort in Europe. The number was $100 million over the objective of the sixth campaign, which ended up raising $1.4 billion across the country. n Jack Goodwin was promoted to manager at the Picton Cold Storage after serving for several years as the bookkeeper there. He would succeed C.B. Teskey. n Pigeons broke several windows at the Crystal Palace. The workmen were said to have done a great job replacing the windows, but they glassed in the birds.

60 years ago — 1954

n Aided by government funding, the County Agricultural Society contracted H.J. McFarland Construction to do the excavating for a new arena and community centre. Allowing it to be used as an arena, the society broadened the scope of the project it was undertaking and it asked for the help of the community to raise the necessary funds to proceed with financing the build to completion. n The Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment was planning a fall training program to help bring new recruits to the reserve army. The reservists would receive weekend training at Barriefield and receive 60 days pay per year.

20 years ago — 1994

n Some 12 of the 14 trustees on the Prince Edward Board of Education decided they’d seek re-election in the fall. Ruth Hart and Ray Barratt each decided they’d retire. Hart, the Bloomfield-Hallowell representative had served for 35 years, dating back 10 years before the first county-wide board. Barratt, the Athol representative was first elected in 1985 and served three full terms on the board. n MP Lyle Vanclief was looking forward to a busy legislative agenda with expected debates on major reforms to the justice system, including laws for young offenders.

Strange noises coming from the fields

The cicadas didn’t seem to be as vocal this summer. Others noticed their apparent absence as well. Perhaps it had something to do with the cooler temperatures. Who knows? When they did sing, it wasn’t the long drawn out raspy buzzes we are used to hearing, but abbreviated versions, and often broken.

It was like they were calling because they had to.

I remember these insects from my days on the farm, but had not actually seen one until many years later. They always called during hot August days when we were drawing in the last of the hay from those back fields next to the woods where cooling breezes never blew. My parents called them locusts, and claimed that they were calling for dry weather. Looking back, I think their calling had little to do with a prediction of any kind, except it always happened to be dry during the time of the year they traditionally sang.

The noise was deafening, but I never grew tired of listening to them, and still look forward to their loud shrill noise.

Like electricity buzzing on a power line. Only the males are able make this shrill sound, vibrating a two ribbed membranes on their thorax called tymbals. And it must surely be a call for happy, as the insect itself has a very bizarre life history, spending 17 years underground as a nymph, emerging to mate, then dying within the month, if they don’t get eaten by something first. Hardly worth coming out of the ground.

You have likely heard reference made to 17-year cicadas,

OUTDOOR RAMBLES TERRY SPRAGUE

and it’s the time underground which gives them that handle.

There are 13-year cicadas too, but they appear to be restricted to south-eastern United States.

But that is not to suggest that they appear in cyclic swarms, as there are always broods in different stages of development emerging every year.

In the adult stage they look like oversized house flies, and we see and hear them for just that brief period of time when the males are busy making all that noise to attract a mate. The female deposits her eggs in the branches of shrubs and trees.

Upon hatching the little nymphs fall to the ground and they immediately burrow underground where they will spend the next 17 years of their exciting life searching out tree roots from which they will obtain their nourishment. Internal clocks that have been preprogrammed to alarm after 17 years, signal the nymphs to head for daylight where they begin climbing the trees to a

convenient location and proceed to moult, start their loud “singing”, and begin the cycle again. Then, they die.

Just how loud are these musical insects? From a distance of only 60 feet, we are looking at approximately 80 to 100 decibels - about the same as listening to a jackhammer, according to one source. There is another insect which makes a peculiar and somewhat mysterious sound too, but it is a bit more subtle. It is the katydid, and I found one last week on our sun deck.

Musical instruments, similar to those of the cicada, called “organs of stridulation” have evolved on the wing covers of these insects. There is a file on one wing and a scraper on the other and when rasped together, produces the familiar grinding “katy-did” sound.

Katydids are related to the long-horned grasshoppers of the West which caused such extensive damage during the infamous cricket plague of 1948 when swarms of them descended upon fields of the religious refugees in Utah. At the critical moment, droves of gulls arrived, devoured the pest, and saved the new settlement. So, gulls are not necessarily always the undesirable element they are sometimes purported to be.

After the plague, the grasshoppers became known locally as Mormon crickets and their enormous bands are still considered a concern in the West. Here, however, the katydid relative is quite harmless as there are so few of them.

Our more familiar shorthorned grasshopper is the one I

remember so well from my farming days some 40 years ago, and as I write this, they are everywhere. Many hundreds spring from the ground onto neighbouring vegetation along a trail around two hay fields that I walk a couple times every day. Combining grain was always an experience as hundreds of these grasshoppers would leap away from the machinery, landing on my face and arms, or lining up like so many soldiers on the framework of the machinery. Those that failed to heed the advancing combine were processed with the crop and ended up in the grain bin.

This large notorious family includes the non-migratory grasshoppers, most of which live and die in the field where they were born, and the migratory species, commonly known as locusts. The Rocky Mountain locusts used to be a major plague of the Old West, destroying anything green in its path.

To this day, many of our large cooperative insect control programs are aimed at grasshoppers, especially in the west.

The cicadas are just about finished now as our days get cooler, but they will return again next summer. You will need to be quick though, as they are on a tight schedule. For now, keep your ears peeled at night for the raspy call-notes of the katydid.

Hillier man arrested, charged following luring investigation A Hillier man is facing five criminal charges following an OPP investigation into child luring that began Sept. 9.

Police say their investigation revealed a young female was sexually assaulted last month and they believe the accused continued to talk to the girl using social media.

The OPP executed a search of a Hillier residence which it says was the location of the

alleged offence.

The accused was charged with sexual assault on a person under 16 years of age, invitation of a person under 16 years of age to sexual touching, sexual interference, luring a person under 18 by means of telecommunications, and making sexually explicit material available to a person under 16 years of age.

Peter MacDougall, 60, was

arrested Sept. 12 and released from custody on conditions, including a promise to appear in Picton court Oct. 1.

DAYTIME BREAK-INS

The OPP is currently investigating a series of daytime break-and-enter incidents that happened in Sophiasburgh and Ameliasburgh wards. The incidents are

believed to have occurred between Sept. 5-14. Police say jewelry was targeted in each of the break-ins.

A small, white car has been linked with the suspects committing the crimes. Anyone with information linked to the thefts is asked to call the OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

THE custom of tipping service personnel is well established as some published articles suggest it dated back to the 17th Century, a way for travelling guests to show appreciation for the efforts another person’s servants had rendered unto them.

Though there has always been some debate about what constitutes an appropriate tip, when people should tip, and for what services tipping or gratuities should be offered, the amount of a tip has generally been left to the discretion of the individual, unless arrangements had been made for a large party in a restaurant to tip in unison for the convenience.

In recent years, however, some service people have become more and more bold about not only expressing their belief that they should receive a tip, but also how large that tip should be. Some services, like fast food restaurants, where gratuities were never expected in the past have allowed their staff to place tip jars on the counter. In big cities like New York, some restaurants have even taken to putting a certain amount of tip right on the bill with a space to opt out, forcing customers the unease of doing so. In some cases, debit and credit machines also bring gratuities to mind, regardless of how small the purchase.

This week, the Marriott hotel chain came under fire from its customers for placing envelopes on pillows in its guests rooms entitled “The Envelope Please,” which encouraged guests to start tipping housekeepers for their time and efforts. Their spokespeople reasoned that people who more directly communicate with guests — bellhops, room service delivery people, and concierges generally get more gratuities — and housekeepers should get their share. There’s no question that housekeepers work hard, mind you, people have come to expect cleanliness when paying for a room. In most of the other cases, individuals are actually interacting and providing custom services.

Social media backlash suggested the profitable company might consider paying its staff a better wage, with some people suggesting that even a hike in room rates would be a better solution than putting a hand out and making guests feel obliged to help.

It is understandable that most service workers are struggling in today’s economy with many struggling to get by with less. It is also perfectly understandable that many companies providing employment in the service sector are struggling with rising costs and they’re trying new ways to help their staff supplement their income and remain happy and productive. It’s a shame, however, the custom of tipping has drifted farther and farther away from one that rewards excellent service toward being just another fee tacked onto the cost of daily life for most people.

Some people have argued the practice of tipping be replaced by a standard gratuity tax that would be evenly split by all of the workers of a service establishment, including those who work behind the scenes like cooks and dishwashers. While this might take away an awkward interaction between servers and clients, it takes away an important valuation. Those in service should strive to provide the best service possible, while customers should recognize outstanding service and reward it wherever possible. To do expect otherwise, by custom, cheapens the practice.

Library offers many First World War books and videos

This year marks the centenary of the First World War and a time when many are learning more about “The Great War” through various commemorative educational and social events.

As well, there is much to learn on the subject through books and films, and here we offer a few titles from the hundreds available from the shelves of the library.

The Wars by Timothy Findley has been called “the finest historical novel ever written by a Canadian,” by fellow author and award winner Guy Vanderhaeghe.

Findley writes with his usual intense talent about the trauma of war, both physical and psychological, as he weaves family, Victorian society, and the experience of one soldier, Robert Ross, into an unforgettable narrative. The novel won the 1977 Governor General’s Award.

In non-fiction, the library has among its First World War titles, Far From Home: Canadians in the First World War by Bill Freeman and Richard Nielsen.

The book’s foreword explains, “Canada was a small colony in 1914 with very little heavy industry and almost no military resources. Four years later, the new nation had put more than 600,000 men into the field, and its manufacturers were producing millions of dollars in shells and supplies each day. The transformation was nothing short of astonishing.”

This book, a collaboration between Bill Freeman and Richard Nielsen, carries the story further on from Nielsen's fine threepart film on the Canadians' war.

The book reveals everyday lives, including the work of the nurses and doctors trying to cope with the ravages of war as well as giving voice to the soldiers of the time.

For those interested in a film set in the First World War, a recent and much acclaimed cinematic work is War Horse.

Directed by Steven Spielberg, the drama is an adaptation of the children’s novel of the same name by Michael Morpurgo. Unlike the book, the movie is for older audiences and rated

InsIde the lIbrary CHRISTINE RENAUD

PG. It stars Jeremy Irvine, Emily Watson, and Benedict Cumberbatch.

Another war film of note is Paths of Glory. The Guardian newspaper described it as “arguably the best film about the First World War,” that still holds “a reasonable claim to being Stanley Kubrick's best film.”

Originally released in 1957 and re-released in 2014, “this brilliant tale of macabre futility and horror in the trenches,” writes the Guardian, “was adapted by Kubrick, Calder Willingham and pulp master Jim Thompson from a 1935 novel by Herbert Cobb, in turn inspired by a real incident.”

For those interested in commemorating the First World War with a social function, the Archives is marking the centenary this fall with a theme dinner on Friday, Oct. 3 at 6:30 p.m. A meal typical of the era will be served, and there will be period music, table trivia, and slides of war artifacts and pieces of art from museums in Canada.

The event will take place at the Beck & Call restaurant in Picton. Tickets are $30 and available from Krista Richardson at the Archives by e-mail at: krichardson@peclibrary.org or by phone at 613-3992023.

For more on First World War books and movies available at the library, you may search our online catalogue at any time at www.peclibrary.org or ask a staff member for assistance at any branch of the library.

The time has come to consider proportional representation

Under our present voting system, the party that wins the most votes in any riding triumphs, while those of the other parties don’t count.

Consequently, many Canadians feel uninspired to vote at federal or provincial elections. With the next federal election due in a year, we need to rally around a voting system that is fair. In proportional representation, each of the political parties’ percent-

age of the total number of votes cast would be reflected in an equivalent proportional ratio of seats held by each party in Parliament. Each vote would count.

Canada’s divergent voices need to be heard and represented in Parliament. We need a system that’s balanced and fair.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Rossmore clinic closure presents an inconvenience

I live in the north part of the county, and my wife and I receive our health care at the Rossmore office of the Prince Edward Family Health Team (PEFHT) The Rossmore office is closing and our doctor is moving to Wellington. This loss of convenient access for our health care is not good.

My wife and I find this change very disconcerting and has made us angry. We are both seniors, and the thought of a one-hour-and 20-minute round trip, to see our doctor, in winter or any other time, is not a pleasant thought.

Our beef is not with care we receive from the PEFHT. Our care is first rate and the people are caring and professional. The rapport we have with the staff in the Rossmore setting is excellent. I also participate in the cardio rehab (PEACH) program, which couldn't be any better, it is actually a fun place to be, made so primarily by the

staff who have created an environment which is beneficial to me, both mentally and physically. The staff are proud of what they are doing, and rightfully so.

My main complaint has more to do with convenient access, to the service, rather than the delivery or quality of the service.

This closure has probably been in the works for a while.

I would have appreciated receiving notice from PEFHT informing me that this closing was a possibility. I can only assume this was not done in order to head off any possibility of residents and patients in the Ameliasburgh area from taking some timely action to try and save our access to the PEFHT in Rossmore.

As for the statement “years of recruiting patients”, I don't know how PEFHT recruited patients, but I never saw any recruiting. I only learned of the Rossmore clinic when I visited the store

next door.

Apparently the Rossmore clinic is closing due to under utilisation. I believe, it is under utilised because many residents don't even know of this location, let alone that there is a PEFHT. Based on my experience, it is very difficult to hook up with the PEFHT. I have watched people come into the Picton and Rossmore clinic locations, enquiring about getting a doctor and they are immediately told to contact Health Care Connect.

This comes across a rejection, as they now have to contact someone far away and you have no idea if you are going to find a doctor any time soon.

I also suspect, that because a large part of the Ameliasburgh ward has an address of RR 7, Belleville, that Health Connect, may be looking for available doctors in the Belleville area.

I think that somehow, it must be easier for county res-

idents to transfer into PEFHT care without going through provincial bureaucracy. Promote yourself to all the county residents.

I can't help but feel that the amount of tax dollars, municipal, provincial and federal, that Ameliasburg ward residents contributes to the county should also go to providing convenient services to north-end residents, that the Picton, Wellington and south county, residents enjoy.

As for the “financially irresponsible and one stop collaborative care statements”, I never expected such poli-speak. Sounds like the baffle garb the county residents receive every time services are removed and beds closed at Picton hospital. Really? It is financially irresponsible to provide services to the north end of the county. Thanks a lot.

Councillors unduly condemned, system to blame for inaction

Even though Ron Binch makes good points about our irresponsible council in his letter published Sept. 11, I feel compelled to add some experience-based perspective to the council size issue.

Many know that I am a strong advocate of downsizing council. I was a co-appellant in an OMB hearing about reducing council size in the year preceding our last municipal election. My deceased friend Lyle McBurney and I lost that appeal mainly because our 2009 council promised to consult the public on the matter; hence the ballot

question in 2010.

But our over-sized 16 member council delayed acting on the referendum result until it became too late to downsize council in their present term. They copped out by hiring a consultant to convene a “citizens’ forum” on council size, and failed to give that citizens’ forum a mandate to advise how changes could be implemented. So we got a last-minute council proposal without public input, then hastilyconvened town hall meetings to seek public approval.

After attending three of

those town hall meetings Robert Quaiff explained that he voted against the hastilyprepared downsizing proposal because it contained unacceptable last-minute changes to ward boundaries, and because citizens at those meetings strongly opposed changing ward boundaries even though they strongly supported having a smaller council.

As a 2009 OMB appellant concerning this issue, I accept Quaiff's explanation. I also accept his promise to resolve the matter next year if elected mayor.

We should not unduly condemn council members for failing to show strong leadership on controversial issues. Our councillors operate within an unwieldy 16person council where expediency and harmony can trump common sense and democracy. It is well past time to change the council size, with public consultation, so we can elect a smaller council that is inherently more capable of making tough decisions.

Jim McPherson, Milford

Time to elect councillors who care about future of county

Ron Binch has made a great point: Rid ourselves of the old gang on the raft — it sank . We now have a new one filled mostly with the old bunch, quite a few are running again, some as our mayor.

There are several who do

not live in the ward they wish to represent and others who lived in the ward but rarely backed the wishes of the people who put them there. I, for one , am tired of those in council who represent themselves or some close friends.

As we decide I ask you please vote for those who will represent our wishes and directions this county must take in the years to come. My vote will be the last and I will select only those who truly care for future of this land that sure-

ly could bring great development for the businesses that are struggling to succeed and above all compassion, love and helping hand for many in great need.

Legion’s war museum a well-kept secret Little know collection of artifacts contains some rare military items

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

Staff writer

Although Prince Edward County residents are generally very knowledgeable when it comes to offering directions for visitors, it's a good bet many would be stumped on the Jim Pilkington museum.

Nestled inside two rooms and a hallway within the upper floor of Branch 78 of the Royal Canadian Legion, the museum is dedicated to preserving artifacts from war, continuing a tradition that Pilkington himself started years ago.

Inside, it has some real treasures like a banner that flew over occupied Europe emblazoned with Nazi swastikas, the tank radio from the inside of a Churchill tank, a German maxim gun, and even a map of European secretly passed to a prisoner of war in a Red Cross aid package.

Rusty Harrison, a veteran of 25 years service in the Canadian Navy has taken it upon himself to organize the museum and he says the Legion has amassed quite a collection over the years.

"We're pretty proud of the stuff we've got. We've got stuff even the national museum would love to have. We look after it the best we can," he said. "I have another room full of things that I can't even display. We have so much of this stuff that we can only put so much of it out."

Pilkington originally collected some of the artifacts from older veterans who have since died. Others regularly bring in things

they've found in their attics or cellars when their relatives have died.

"They don't want it, so they bring it here," he said.

There's a display of the evolution of rifles carried by the military and there's also a section dedicated to women in the war effort.

Photos and newspaper clippings also line the walls of the museum.

Harrison said a few women involved with the branch set up some of the displays years ago, but since, few people have shown interest in creating displays. He said he's had one volunteer who has been very helpful with a library of books that are on hand in the work room part of the museum, but even that person isn’t as involved as he once was.

"I'm not a curator by any

means, but I continue to manage it for them," he said. "I was the only guy who had any interest in looking after it. I know it's sad, but that's the way it is."

Harrison adds much to the experience in the Pilkington museum himself.

Just inside the entrance is a picture of him and four brothers from their days with the navy. Just next to it sits his old navy uniform, one he jokes that he wishes still fit him. Still, he said, he loves the old navy uniforms as he never had to wear a tie. For most of the artifacts, Harrison was able to explain the time period and use and in some cases, he was able to offer a recollection of how they ended up in the Legion. For some, he just wishes he knew.

Councillors seemed receptive of a recommendation to take a symbolic step in support of stable, affordable housing at last week's committee-of-the-whole meeting.

The committee approved a motion to declare Prince Edward County a “housingfirst community” and to have staff prepare a report on ways to implement that initiative.

The motion comes following a deputation from Prince Edward-Lennox & Addington Social Services (PELASS) director Brian EloShepherd.

Elo-Shepherd said the housing first declaration recommendation was instigated by the Housing Services Act which legislated the creation of a Community Housing and Homelessness Plan.

PELASS solicited extensive input from its communities ahead of the Jan. 1, 2014 deadline for the plan, which produced 29 strategies aimed at addressing housing and homelessness.

The first strategy promotes the adoption of a housing-first approach.

“Essentially what it's all about is it recognizes that in order for people to progress and to have stability in their lives, to maximize their contribution to society, that it only follows that they need a stable home,” said Elo-Shepherd. “It's not about financial commitments at this point, it's all about being able to just stand behind that notion.”

He said the housing first

concept falls directly in line with the Strategic Action Plan for Affordable Housing in Prince Edward County, which council supported in December 2010.

A PELASS report submitted to the committee last week says the concept has been taken on by communities across Canada and the U.S. It says political and financial decisions would be made with specific consideration of the housing first goal.

“By formally declaring the local community a housing- first community the leadership is demonstrating the importance of stable, affordable housing for all its citizens,” the report says. “A declaration ensures all those who work within the community approach their work from a housing first perspective. A declaration recognizes that citizens must eventually have stable, affordable housing to be truly contributing citizens in the community.”

Councillor Bev Campbell spoke in support of the motion. She said there aren't expected to be any costs associated with the declaration.

“If any costs do arise, it would be something approved by council at that time. This step of declaring the community housing first is a symbolic step,” she said.

“What we asking in conjunction with that is a report that says how we implement that and if there are any costs at all.”

The declaration will come before council on Sept.

Harrison concerned about future preservation of artifacts

MUSEUM, from page 9

Harrison pointed to a collection of colourful medals and said though he might know a bit about what they were won for, he'd really like to know more about them than he was able to find out.

"I wish I had the names of who wore them," he said.

Harrison then went on to flip through a ration book that belonged to Ron Short of Picton, explaining how soldiers would use the stamps inside to acquire food.

"It's kind of neat that we have these. It's always neat to have something nifty like that," he said.

On Saturday, the Bay of Quinte Doors Open campaign featured the museum as well as a number of other war-related sites in the county to mark the 100th anniversary of the First World War. Sites included the Old Boys’ entrance at the Fairgrounds, the cenotaph in Picton, the former Camp Picton, and the memorial gates at Wellington Park. At most of those locations, there were artists depicting scenes from war or related imagery. For one day, Harrison had traffic at his museum.

"It's been good today, we've had a lot of people visiting but most are from out of town. (County muse-

ums curator) Diane Denyes said there's usually a 50/50 ratio, but I think I've had more like 70 per cent from out of town."

He said a lot of people from Picton probably don't know the museum is there, adding the only time the Legion really advertises the site is when it has other events taking place. Harrison said he wouldn't mind not being bound by scheduled events, however.

"I'll open it at any time if anybody wants to have a look," he said.

Unfortunately, Harrison said he has his doubts how much longer the museum can remain viable, particularly as the Legion struggles to maintain its historic home built by Lt. Col. Walter Ross, who was commander of the county's first regiment of volunteers. Legions across Canada are struggling to maintain membership and like many organizations, they can't justify keeping the doors open long-term if the money isn’t there. More visitors and more donors might help future generations learn about the great wars.

"I'm afraid we might lose the building and we'll lose a lot of this," he said. "It'll go to other military museums, I'm sure, but there's a lot of history right here that we could lose."

Organizer sees upswing in market after difficult years AdAm BrAmBurger Staff writer

The Crystal Palace was a busy place last weekend as it hosted the annual fall antique show.

A rainy Saturday certainly helped raise the spirits of vendors, however organizer Holly Newland said she felt a recovery in the antique market in recent years may have also helped.

"Our crowd was very strong. People were looking to do indoor things," she said. "I've found that last year and this year we've done well, we've seen more young people coming back to antiquing."

Newland said she feels that what's old is starting to be in again, with some particular thanks to a trend called steampunk, which is really big in Toronto. Typically, the genre of fashion and decoration borrows from the Victorian area with an emphasis on metallic items like brass and iron as well as leather and wood. She noted some people were looking for items from that era, while others were interested in new creations like the lamps Picton native Bradley Higgins created and displayed at this year's show.

"A lot of young people are using things for other things now," said Newland.

"Bradley has made some fabulous lamps. He's creative and has an eye for it. We'll miss him at the show as he gets busier for school, but he'll be welcomed back any time."

While Higgins may have been the closest exhibitor, Newland said she had people who traveled from as far east as Montreal and as far west as Ridgetown, Ontario to show off their collections for interested buyers.

Among those people, she said she tried to create a mix that offered different products and not a lot of competition among the vendors at the show.

Purcell shows off some of the eye-catching items in his collection, like a Molson Rocks stage decoration and a late 1800s coffee grinder. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

"The customers seem happy with that mix," she said.

Newland said again this year, both customers and vendors alike praised the Crystal Palace as a venue.

She indicated it has been used for several years for the spring and fall sales — the last four years in the sale she and her husband Ken organized and for 12 years by predecessor Fred Spice, whom she says deserves a lot of credit for the re-establishment of it as a desired venue.

"He was the first to think of using this building for an event," she said. "This year, there was not one available weekend. I have to book my dates for four years in advance."

Some guests this year suggested to Newland that she might want to expand beyond the historical building, but she said that didn't seem to be in the cards for her show because it would be a logistical problem with added security and it may also affect the high quality of the goods.

As with any show, Newland said she and Ken made a few purchases for themselves and a few others for retail customers. The key, she

said, for any dealer is knowing what is sought after.

"It's not just knowing your stuff, it's knowing your customers and what they like."

David Purcell, one of the vendors who moved to Picton from Ottawa several years back says that can be a tricky thing to do in the current market. He said about 10 years ago, dealers had a good grasp of what was in demand and prices were fairly firm. Now, he said, it's anyone's guess.

"It's a very different market, it's hard to know what people want," he said, adding he does five or six shows a year and tries to stay as close to Picton as he can.

Purcell noted his strategy is to bring a mix of eye-catching items that get people talking. At his booth at the west end of the building, he had a giant head with buggy CD-shaped eyes and its mouth wide open. He said it was one of four made for the stage at a Molson Rocks concert in Toronto in the late 1990s. At one time, he had two of the four but sold one.

He priced it at over $700, but it got a lot of looks.

framed front page from the May 24, 1934 Dallas Morning News with headlines screaming about the capture of the notorious Bonnie and Clyde. Purcell saw it at auction years ago and figured that someone might want to buy it.

"Everybody who comes by has to read it. It's an iconic front page," he said.

Though Purcell acknowledged he likely wouldn't put the newspaper up in his home, he said he feels that someone will see value in because it's in good shape and tells an interesting story.

To him, he said that "wow" factor is something that sells just as well as any fad.

"I don't really go with the trends, I just follow my gut."

Purcell developed his appreciation for antiques while he was working as a furniture refinisher, saying the more he was around the old pieces, he found he got to appreciate them and like them. He said his own home is proof that he jumped in with both feet.

"I do this as a part-time thing and my house is full of the stuff I've collected. It's really whatever grabs my eye," he said. "The longer you do it, you've got a couple pieces that would be very hard to replace. Everyone has their price, but some of them would be very difficult."

With that, he looked at one of his prized pieces, an 1895 metal coffee grinder from the Elgin Coffee Company, something he said was made in America and is a very rare item these days.

"It's hard to sell," he said.

"If it ended up in my house, I wouldn't complain."

Wine lovers from Kingston’s Army, Navy and Air Force Club tour local vineyards

Sippin’ in the county JOE HACHE

starting and running a winery! To start off the tasting he announced that this group would be the first to

the fact that she employs a lot of people living in the county. They were also impressed with the food pairings that she provided with her wines. We then moved inside for even more tasting and I saw a lot of bottles of her wine heading to the bus!

Our fourth stop of the day was Rosehall Run Vineyards where Lynn Sullivan led the tasting down in the cellar room where she explained that tons of rock were blasted out to create the space.

Here members tasted award winning wines and thoroughly enjoyed Sullivan’s explanations of their

season.

While we were at Black Prince we stopped by one of the counties newest businesses where owner Marla Bradford proudly showed off her and her husband Pete's increasingly popular red wine vinegar. People were amazed at the taste as they paired this product with blue cheese and baguettes.

Catherine Langlois came out into the rain to greet everyone as we arrived at Sandbanks Estates Winery for our third stop. We did a tasting outside and people were very impressed with Langlois’ story as she explained her journey and

taste his new Dog House White which was being released just that day. Not surprisingly this wine and several others went over very well and everyone claimed this was a great start to the day.

Our next stop was Black Prince Winery here in Picton. General manager and winemaker Geoff Webb led the tasting and although everyone enjoyed all the wine, the surprise hit was their Hemp wine. Yes, this group affiliated with the military took a keen interest in this wine and bottles were being snapped up to take home as presents for the upcoming Christmas

My weekend sippin’ in the county started on Saturday when I met a bus on County Rd. 49 just coming into the county. It was a group of 40 wine lovers from the Army, Navy and Air Force Club from Kingston.

This was Martello Unit #377 which is part of Canada’s oldest veterans’ association. Despite the rain coming down this was an energetic group just chomping on the bit to try some county wine.

Our first stop of the day was at Three Dog Winery where owner/winemaker John Squair entertained everyone with his stories of the trials and tribulations of

Available in most new Ford vehicles with 6-month pre-paid subscription

approach to the winemaking at Rosehall. Winemaker Dan Sullivan didn't lead the tasting as he was at the emergency department in Picton Hospital but was able to make it back and mingle with everyone before we left.

Our final stop of the day was Harwood Estates Vineyards. Tasting room manager Alison Brant took to the soapbox (actually a large rock beside the vines) and explained the differences in the various vines in the vineyard and then we entered the cozy tasting room (yes, the fire was on) to taste several special wines. Again, members were treated to some great food pairings with the various wines and were really impressed with the dessert wines served at the end.

I hosted the first Martello tour back in June and it was so popular they wanted to do it again. Folks that were on that tour told their friends and the local organizer called me and asked if I could contact more wineries and do it again. Of course the local wineries enjoy meeting new customers and it gives people not living in the area a chance to explore what we have to offer.

This leads me to a suggestion! You may not think the wine industry is terribly exciting as you live here but mention it to friends and family in Ottawa and Toronto (or anywhere out of the county) and suddenly you will have lots of people who want to come down and visit you!

Two things to plan for in the coming weeks. Firstly you have to plan on attending a Harvest party at a local vineyard. Imagine the experience of actually going out and picking grapes and then being able to taste the fruits of your labour!

I've brought friends in from out of town in the past and they could not believe the experience.

Several wineries are planning such events and I will try to post them all on my website!

If you like wine and food Taste Community Grown is at the Crystal Palace Saturday Sept. 27.

Along with many other attractions you will find locally prepared food by local chefs and you will be able to pair that with local wines! I'm looking forward to experiencing all of the local fare the county has to offer and hope to see you there.

Model Railroaders’ show offers two days of hands-on fun for all ages Picton club encourages young visitors to play with trains, boats, cars AdAm BrAmBurger Staff writer

With video games and smartphones capturing young people's attention these days, it's hard for some to imagine there'd be much demand left for traditional model trains.

The Picton Model Railroaders' 26th annual show at the Prince Edward Curling Club this weekend would prove otherwise as people of all ages stopped by the many displays and just watched as they miniature vehicles glided across tracks past an assortment of tiny homes and trees.

"Friends come in and tell me I didn't realize you had all this here," said the club's president Jerry Kennedy, who happily greets guests at the door. "Our biggest problem is getting people through the door. Once they're here, they're amazed by what they see."

Kennedy said that children, in particular, usually come away wide eyed. He noted that each year at the door, he hears parents remind their children not to

touch, only to find out many of the exhibitors not only allow them to play, but they also encourage it.

"They get to touch it and feel it," he said. "At most shows they don't get to."

Kennedy pointed to a new display this year, the Gscale Playmobil train, which Peterborough native Jem

MacInnes brought down with her boyfriend and their two boys. MacInnes said her boyfriend was into trains before they met. Upon meeting the boys, he completely redid his train table, building it at a lower level to ensure that it was accessible to them.

Now, they travel when they can to encourage their boys and others to enjoy the hobby and to share it with others.

"This is our second show this year. We would like to do more, but we do have the two little ones," she said.

"While we are at shows, it's cool to see what the children do, how they interact with each other and how they interact with my boys."

MacInnes said modelling is a hobby the whole family can do together and she said by encouraging her sons, she feels they're opening up a world of opportunities and friendships they've enjoyed.

Kaj Larsen, a semi-retired millwright from Oshawa who has used his trade skills to make some of his own parts for his train layouts, was manning the Pine Ridge Railroaders display Saturday afternoon. Like the Picton Model Railroaders, he travels to shows along the Hwy 401

A circle of friends Whether you are relatively new to the area or if your family has been here for generations I commend to you the Vital Signs report found at: www.countycommunityfoundation.ca/read-the-report-c172.php The report published in 2013 provides an x-ray of the County, exposing a few skeletons in our closet.

Among them the following: the rate of teen pregnancy, obesity and smoking in our community is 30% higher than the provincial average. And the County has the second highest rate of food Rev. Lynne Donovan insecurity in Ontario.

The report reinforces what many of us have observed and that is there is a large disadvantaged population in this community alongside the more obvious signs of prosperity.

The latest research has revealed that the nature of poverty has shifted over the last few decades. Poverty is not just an inability to pay all the bills. Poverty in this era comes with social isolation and that is when things really begin to go downhill because in order to thrive human beings need community.

In 2011 St. Andrew’s in partnership with community agencies founded Reaching for Rainbows, an after-school program licenced by the Ministry of Education to serve girls ages 6-9.

The program provides the girls with opportunities to develop life skills, academic skills and a vision of their own success.

But more than anything Reaching for Rainbows provides girls, who may have found themselves on the margins because of poverty or other challenges, with a “circle of friends” that includes trained volunteers and a professional director.

The 30 girls enrolled in the program spend 5 hours a week in a play based learning centre where no one is on the outside looking in.

In my faith tradition the table is a powerful symbol of hospitality and inclusion. What the Vital Signs report reveals is that there are a number of folk in this community who have been excluded from the table. Reaching for Rainbows is just one initiative in the County that responds to this social disparity.

If you would like to join the Reaching for Rainbows “circle of friends” as a volunteer or as a financial sponsor OR if you’d like to know more about this grassroots community initiative, please contact me at rev.lynne@sympatico.ca.

Rev. Lynne Donovan is the minister at

corridor in order to meet some new friends and share his love for the craft with anyone who will listen.

"I'm happy to be talking to people, I enjoy myself being around the trains and meeting new people," he said, adding he found three or four interesting people to keep in touch with. He says at each show, he also finds something he can keep or adapt for his own hobby. In Picton, for example, he found a British railway pin that he could attach with others to his hat.

Larsen's love for the iron

rails is well developed. He said when he was a young boy in Denmark, following the Second World War, officials were concerned that many of the children in the big cities spent a lot of their time hiding indoors. They wanted them to benefit from fresh air.

"You could get free train rides out into the country to get some sun," he said.

"You'd sign on where you were going and getting off.

The trains were filled with the poor and with kids."

One in three seniors fall each year. It could happen to you or someone you love. These are some safe travel tips from the Canadian Transportation Agency.

Use luggage on wheels and avoid carrying heavy luggage. Use the services of bellhops, porters, or your travel group, if you are on a tour.

Ask for a room with a bathroom that is equipped with grab bars and non-slip bath mats to help prevent slips and falls in the bathroom.

Bring a nightlight with you as moving around in the dark in an unfamiliar place may result in a fall. If you don’t have a nightlight, leave a small light on in the room. If you have to use stairs, use the handrail. Report any hazards to building management.

Make sure you plant your foot firmly in the centre of the stair as you enter and exit a bus, and use the handrail for support. Take the hand offered by the driver or tour director, they are offering safety. If you feel unsafe getting off the bus, ask for help.

Remain in your seat while the bus is moving. If you have to move, ask for assistance. In the washroom, make sure you have your feet firmly planted on the floor when sitting or standing.

Use the grab bar while moving between sitting and standing position.

Wear sunglasses to reduce glare on sunny days. Wear sturdy, comfortable walking shoes. Avoid slip-on shoes and strapless sandals. If you buy new shoes, “wear them in” before you leave. Blisters and sore feet will affect your balance.

Avoid carrying a purse or shoulder bag so that you can keep your hands free. Free hands will help you to maintain your balance. Instead, consider using a waist bag for your wallet and valuables or a knapsack for carrying

INFO FOR SENIORS

your extra sweater, hat, and purchases. Be sure to wear your knapsack properly, over both shoulders, so that the weight you are carrying is close to your body and better balanced.

Look for uneven ground, rocks or other obstructions that could cause you to trip when you are walking. If you have problems keeping your balance, use assistive devices like a cane, walking stick or walker. For your safety, be sure that your assistive device fits properly. If you’re unable to walk long distances, it may be possible to rent a wheelchair or power scooter at your destination.

Call ahead or ask your travel agent to check for you.

Try not to let yourself get too tired. Physical exhaustion can lead to slips and falls.

Community Care has a great handout from the Public Health Unit that covers what you should do if you fall. The best thing to do is to avoid a fall but it you’re the one in three seniors that does fall, you need to know what to do. Stop in and pick up a copy. Or go to the Health Unit website at hpechu.on.ca and look for “what to do if you fall”.

Community Care’s Wii Bowling League starts again soon. Meet new people or bring your own team of four.

Wii is not physically demanding. It’s a video game and can be played from a standing or sitting position. There are two lanes and eight people play at a time. The laughter is infectious and it’s a great way to get involved. Players use the remote control to mimic the bowling actions. Individual and team scores are kept.

Teams are being formed now. No experience is necessary. You just need to enjoy having fun and meeting new people. Call Community Care today at 613-476-7493 and sign up. Bowling starts soon.

TAI CHI

Community Care for Seniors offers Tai Chi classes as a way to help seniors stay fit and flexible. Tai Chi is a lowimpact form of exercise, but it is also a weight-bearing exercise, which is an important component of managing osteoporosis. No experience is necessary and all fitness levels are welcome. Call Community Care at 613-4767493 to register. Space is limited.

NEED A RIDE?

Yes, there is a way for seniors to get a ride for medical appointments and essential shopping.

Community Care’s volunteer drivers will take seniors to medical appointments anywhere they need to go, including to Belleville, Kingston or Toronto. There is a small charge for each trip. Seniors must call 2 to 3 days in advance, sameday trips cannot be accommodated. Call 613-476-7493 for further information.

Fall is a great time to change or thin plants in gardens to achieve desired results come spring

Listening to the winter weather predictions this morning would indicate that we might expect a cold winter, although not quite as severe as last year. We have also had a cooler than usual summer, which has largely helped to prolong blossom life. As well, rain has been more plentiful so that gardens are looking very healthy.

If you are thinking back on the summer and wishing your garden had a little more of this and a little less of that, now is a great time to make changes.

Even the cool weather is co-operating, as it is easier for most of us to do more strenuous garden tasks.

Like cleaning out your clothes closet, it is always better to tackle these types of garden chores when you are feeling ruthless. Plants can tolerate more of this than most possessions, so unless you end up by tossing out your favourite plant, most things will look all the better for a serious pruning back when they return in the spring.

It is also a great time for thinning plants. Fast spreading plants like bee balm, asters and chrysanthemums need to be reduced in size every two to three years.

asK a masTer GarDeNer

SANDRA GORANSON Others only need thinning out when they begin to produce fewer and/or smaller blooms. At this point you can either share them or compost them unless they are unhealthy. With the exception of peony’s, who do best with being moved in the fall, most plants can either be moved in the spring or fall but It is easier to perceive future crowding problems in the fall. Crocosmia are exceptional in that spring is said to be the best time to transplant them.

Tall leggy plants like delphiniums and phlox have so many stems that the growth

also called Emperor tulips.

She suggests planting them around trees and shrubs as long as there is good drainage. They do best in full sun through their blooming period but, as they are early bloomers like the tarda variety, the leaves on trees and shrubs are generally small or lacking altogether when they bloom. I have not tried Darwin tulips, which are said to continue to bloom for more years than most tulips. They are not said to naturalize so rather than spreading they will gradually reduce in number, just not as quickly as most tulips.

might experiment more with your wish list if you have the space. Bulbs, corms, rhizomes and tubers including garlic could go in a little earlier in October than usual to avoid early hard frosts which would be consistent with the cool fall we are experiencing.

I have avoided adding to my tulip supply for some years except for Tulipa tarda varieties, which continue to maintain vigor and increase in number similar to daffodils. In this weekend’s Globe, Marjorie Harris mentioned another tulip, which has the same naturalizing tendencies; tulipa fosteriana

crowds the plant and reduces its vigor.

It is better to remove some of the more slender stems in late spring.

This should improve the size of the flowers on the remaining stems.

If you are looking to add to your perennials and shrubs you may want to make decisions soon, so that perennials and shrubs can be planted immediately. While there are many places selling bulbs et al only the major nurseries are still open so check before you go. As always, choose healthy looking plants. If you run into an end of the year sale, you

If you still have energy when this garden renovation is finished you can look around for the thing that most irritates you about your garden and tackle that as well. Or else you can take Joyce Young’s advice: put you feet up; enjoy your garden on your own or with friends. But don’t try the hammock at this time of the fall without a parka!

Team at Drake’s Devonshire fixated on local experience Upscale inn reopens on Wellington waterfront Joe HacHe

For The gazeTTe

The weekend started Thursday with a chance to sip some county wine at the a revitalized hot spot located on Wharf Street in Wellington. It appears there is is now a destination within the destination and that would be the Drake Devonshire Inn. Toronto's legendary Drake Hotel acquired the former Devonshire Inn on the Lake (a former foundry) and converted it into an incredible 11 room boutique hotel.

This past Thursday featured their pre-opening party I had a very enjoyable chat with owner Jeff Stober and he explained to me that they will be serving up their special brand of culture, community and hospitality as it pertains to the county.

To him it is all about local.

He said that if he was able to give something to the locals that they could enjoy but that would also be attractive to outsiders then he will have done his job. He was proud to point out the original architecture he was able to preserve as he combined it with his unique vision. And it is a spectacular vision.

As I wandered through the 11-room inn I saw original artwork combined with flat-screen televisions, Bose sound systems and bathrooms with large glass showers. A very comforting mix of old and new.

Although all of the rooms were impressive, the "owner's suite" was simply

spectacular. As I walked into the room I faced a complete wall of glass looking out to Lake Ontario — and the lake looked close enough to touch. The large glass patio door opened to a private rooftop patio that quite literally was lakefront. With the waves crashing below it was quite impressive. Oh yes the room... It featured original art, fireplace, large flatscreen TV and a bathroom that would impress anyone.

Stober talks the talk of “from farm and lake to table” and it is head chef Matt DeMille who was tasked to make it happen. DeMille made a name for himself throughout Toronto before being lured away from the big city to work at Wellington’s Pomodoro Trattoria & Wine Bar. In a way he returns to the city by being hired by the Drake but that is only in mind as his heart is here in the county. Two words very important to DeMille are local and authentic and he said "the county was the perfect environment for truly exploring and perfecting the

art of food". From the local produce literally next door to the fish from the fresh waters of Lake Ontario he feels he

can walk the walk to implement Stober's food vision.

He certainly came through on Thursday night as I walked through the Inn and saw evidence of his creative cooking everywhere and people just loving it.

Oh, and they have wine there of course and I was very impressed as I looked over their wine list. I counted 20 different county wines on that list. Yes, there were wines from around the world but like all food establishments here in the county they also decided to put local wines front and centre and I for one am very grateful for that.

Visitors warm to Sandbanks New Waves festival’s family-friendly atmosphere More than 300 people visit park for a mix of indie music, local food and drink, crafting AdAm BrAmBurger Staff writer

Building great momentum in its first year, the Sandbanks New Waves festival could develop into a massive tidal wave to draw people to the park in the shoulder season.

The weather cleared enough Saturday afternoon that organizer Ryan J. Noth estimates more than 300 people ventured to the area around the amphitheatre at the provincial park for music, food, children’s crafts, and artisan goods.

“It was a pretty great success. Everyone was really happy about it,” said Noth, who conceded that weather did seem to hurt at the gate.

To the left when people entered the space, there was a marketplace of vendors and food trucks nestled

around a picnic pavilion. At around 6 p.m. some three hours into the festival, there were lines at least 10 people deep at each of the hot food vendors. Noth said he understood it was a good day for those partners.

“At least a couple of the food vendors sold out their supply entirely,” he said.

An area roped off to serve craft beers and wine was similarly well received.

In another area covered by tents, interest in children’s activities was also steady.

Face painter Sarah Renaud said she hadn’t stopped since the festival started. A few picnic tables over, families were painting banners to help decorate the stage or glueing colourful fabric together to make puppets.

Kaz Mattes was in that area, helping Callia West with her puppet. The

Toronto resident said two families came down for the festival because of the family atmosphere created.

“We love the Sandbanks and we like the idea of a family music festival,” she said. “Having things for the kids to do was a neat idea.”

Mattes said she appreciated the small crowd and intimate setting, which allowed her to share an appreciation of music with children without having to worry about it being too big. She said she’d look to come back in the future.

Sarah Brophy also liked being able to bring her family down from Dundas, Ontario to share in the inaugural festival. She said they camped at the Sandbanks earlier this year and when they learned of the festival, it was something they wanted to do together.

SALUTES FOUNDING SPONSOR PICTON HOME HARDWARE

“We were inspired to come back,” she said. “We saw a lot of our favourite vendors and food trucks were going to be here, so we decided to come down.”

Brophy said she was kind of worried about the weather, but thought it turned into a gorgeous evening.

Even some of the local volunteers said the festival helped renew their appreciation for the park and showed them new uses for an area that isn’t normally visited.

“We’ve lived here a long time, but we’ve barely got to the park,” said Christine Renaud, who was volunteering in the children’s area.

Noth said he spoke to many of the performing musicians from the featured indie acts Cuff The Duke, Bry Webb, Diana, Evening Hymns, and The Hylozoists and said to a musician, they gave good feedback about the venue and acoustics.

Many said they’d return.

Personally, Noth said he’ll always remember when they started a campfire near the stage the end of the night with people dancing and huddled together to get warm.

“It was a sweet moment,” he said.

Noth said planning has already started for next year.

He and his partners have set their sites bigger.

“We think we can get about double the people in that space,” he said. “We may use the beach and other areas for more events and have more than one stage.

We’d like to make it a weekend long event.”

will likely add a film component next year and the organizers will be looking for more community sponsors, partners, and vendors.

Given how quickly the

first festival came together and the way it was received, he said organizers will have an advantage next time.

“We’ll have a lot more time to plan,” Noth said.

ArcStar counsel addresses municipality with concerns about solar prerequisites Councillors not impressed with nature of delegation that suggested County’s requirements for development unenforceable under provincial law Chad Ibbotson

StaFF writEr

Councillors weren't particularly receptive to a presentation from a solar project developer at last week's committee-of-the-whole

meeting.

ArcStar Energy legal counsel Gwendolyn Adrian, of Toronto firm Dickinson Wright, appeared before committee to address the solar company's concerns with the

municipality's prerequisite conditions for municipal council support.

The municipality has adopted the conditions for large green energy projects seeking priority points under the feed-In tariff (FIT) 2.0 application process.

ArcStar is proposing to construct a solar array on 60 hectares (150 acres) of property located at 1235 Melville Rd. in Consecon.

The capacity of the project would be 30 megawatts.

Chiefly, Adrian said the company is concerned with the municipality's prerequisites of an annual payment of $7 per kilowatt based on the nameplate of the project, an annual payment of four per cent of the project's output, and a security deposit of $200,000 to ensure the project is dismantled at the end of its life.

A memo to the munici-

pality from Dickinson Wright says the municipality's prerequisites are essentially unenforceable.

“Although the prerequisites are named as conditions to obtain municipal support in a renewable energy project application, effectively, they constitute the unlawful exercise of power by the municipality,” the memo says. “It is trite law to state that a municipality may not exercise powers that have not been explicitly conferred on it by statute. Any action by a municipality that exceeds such power is ultra vires and unenforceable.”

Adrian reiterated that stance Thursday. She said section 394 of the Municipal Act states that no fee or charge bylaw can impose a fee or charge based on the generation, exploitation, extraction, harvesting, or processing, renewal or

“Right there that makes the first two prerequisites — a charge based on the nameplate of a project, or a charge based on the output of the project — off side,” she said.

She said a security deposit would be allowable, but said $200,000 was “excessive.” She suggested the company would consider a figure closer to $20,000. Adrian said the panels would take much less effort to dismantle than a wind turbine, and would “come out easily.”

Mayor Peter Mertens said he was disturbed to be dealing with legal issues with a project that is only in the proposal stage.

“It's not a good start for us,” he said.

He alluded to the fact the municipality has already declared itself an unwilling host to such projects.

Smith brings his preferred Progressive Conservative leadership candidate to Hillier Christine Elliott vows to restore dialogue with party’s membership AdAm BrAmBurger Staff writer

In June after the Progressive Conservatives' crushing defeat in the Ontario election.

Prince Edward-Hastings MPP Todd Smith briefly considered a run at the party's leadership.

That bid ended abruptly the next morning when he received a phone call. On Friday, he brought the person who convinced him not to run to his riding to meet with constituents firsthand. Before a crowd of over 100 people at Casa Dea Estates that night., Smith said he felt Christine Elliott is the right person to take on the big job of rebuilding the Ontario PC brand before 2018.

"Christine Elliott called me the day after the election and said, 'Todd, I want to seek the leadership, will you support me?' Did I hesitate?

Not for a second, and this is why…"

Smith explained that Elliott, the widow of former provincial and federal cabinet minister Jim Flaherty had a successful life outside of politics as an entrepreneur and as a philanthropist and thus, understand the world outside of Queen's Park.

Elliott has also spent eight years as the representative for the riding of WhitbyOshawa and has been deputy leader and health care critic.

"She cares deeply about Ontario and the people of Ontario. She has a real passion for developmental services and society's most vulnerable. That's the progressive conservative leader we need going forward," Smith said. "I believe Christine Elliott has that fire in her belly."

Elliott noted that she had a full day of meetings across the riding, starting in Bancroft in the morning, then moving to Madoc and Belleville before finishing in Hillier that night. She said like most places she went, people were looking to bounce ideas about what went wrong in June off of her.

"It basically seemed to come down to respect for members and listening to what people had to say, that everyone feels like a part of the process. That was one thing missing in the last election."

Elliott said if elected leader in a vote likely to come next April or May, she'd look to make sure that every membership in the party meant something that people should be proud of.

She drew on the party's history of bringing in the Ontario human rights code and putting forward some other laws that helped vulnerable people have a place in society. Those are accomplishments she said the party didn't do enough to highlight.

"We have a right to go back and talk about the economic responsibility that we have, that we are true stewards of funds. We only spend the money that we have, we're not going to bankrupt our province and promise to be all things to all people," she said. "But alongside that economic responsibility that we have held for years that is so dear to us, is social compassion as well. The progres-

sive part of the Progressive Conservative party is something most people don't understand about us because we have not emphasized it in the last few elections."

Elliott said in the last election it wasn't as if people wanted to vote for Kathleen Wynne and the Liberal party, the PCs simply presented a "toxic" brand that didn't appeal to independent voters.

"We frightened people and we shouldn't do that," she said.

To remake the party, Elliott said she'd work to continue strengthening ties between the party executive and the leader's office, a direction interim leader Jim Wilson has been working toward. She said she wanted to make sure every voter's voice would be heard, having regional meetings to allow people to have access to her that wouldn't come at the expense of a $300 a plate dinner. She would also strike up policy committees to develop what the party will stand for in the future.

"I think it's really premature at this point to even talk about (policy). I want to listen to what the membership has to say. We've had policy advisory committees in the past and they've been very effective about coming forward with policy and ideas.

Of late, they've been more like figureheads."

Elliott said she felt the Liberals were taking Ontario down a dangerous economic path and noted that "it's bad

now and it's going to be worse in 2018. We're going to inherit a mess." That said, she wouldn't give any details about how she planned to reduce debt or deficit — hallmarks of Tim Hudak's speeches in the past — and offered a simple message

about how to sell it to the public.

"As a leader, if people believe in you and they believe you have a vision and know where you're going and have a plan to get there, I believe they will follow you even if you have to make the tough decisions we all know have to be made. They know you're going to do it in their best interest and for the right reasons and they'll know you're talking to them."

Guests challenged Elliott on her position on the urbanrural divide in Ontario, particularly since a portion of her riding is in the Greater Toronto Area. She said through the caucus, through her own rural ratepayers, and through consultation she'll shepherd policy decisions with broad appeal.

"One certainly doesn't fit all. Simple decisions aren't always the best ones. It's a different way of life, rural or urban, and everyone deserves to be represented.

One party should not have to choose one or the other."

As is often the case in the county, the Green Energy Act was a source of debate and discussion. As Elliott and Smith came into the winery, they were greeted by a group of protesters waving placards demanding to know the Progressive Conservatives' position on climate change.

Inside, people who support-

ed the party in the last election asked her feelings on the Green Energy Act. "I think it's a disaster," Elliott said. "It's been disastrous to local municipalities.

Taking away a municipality's rights — they can talk about setbacks on fences, but don't have any say on the placement of turbines — is wrong.

Municipalities have a right to be involved in that."

Elliott continued that it has had a devastating economic impact also, arguing that businesses looking to locate in Ontario bypassed the province due to high energy costs.

"It's a social experiment that's failing," she said. "We'd be very much in favour of changing it to the extent of repealing it if we could."

Wh a t ' s On

With the election in 2018, Elliott said the PCs have four years to work out their internal differences and present a unified, appealing message to voters. She said it will be a crucial vote.

"We can and we must win in 2018… We're at a crossroads and at an important juncture for the party and province and I want to be part of that solution."

While that vote will remain in her long-range site, Elliott will have to wait for the party's leadership vote.

At present, she is the only declared candidate but she expects about four or five others to challenge for the job. The Progressive Conservatives have a one-member, one-vote system to select a new leader.

Woodward likes Dukes drop first two contests of OJHL season speed, physicality

Pirates beat Isles, fall to Eagles in preseason

Wellington struggles to find offensive output in losses to Cobourg, Pickering Jason Parks

Staff writer

The second verse, same as the first?

The Wellington Dukes had a bit of deja-vu this past weekend as they opened up their 2014-2015 OJHL season in losing fashion dropping their first two contests.

And Dukes fans can be forgiven if they saw the score of Wellington's 2-1 setback in Pickering on Sunday afternoon and had to check the calendar to see what year it was.

Almost exactly one year to the day the club dropped a 2-1 decision to the host Panthers on Sept. 15, 2013, Wellington was back in Pickering, struggling to find offence and unable to find an equalizer late in a one-goal game.

Couple Sunday's mirrored result with a 3-1 loss to the visiting Cobourg Cougars Friday night and Wellington is a team searching for positives early in the campaign.

On the plus side, Wellington's goals against average is 2.50 and Taylor Welsh looks every bit the part of a number one stopper, especially Friday night when had made a handful of breathtaking stops on some sure Cobourg goals.

As well, the club was missing three key forwards in the persons of Dylan Mascarin, Nick Devito and Marco Azzano and those players should create some offensive depth when they are inserted back into the lineup.

Finally, the season is young — Wellington started out last season dropping their first three games and then reeled of nine wins in a row.

But losses are losses.

All three forwards sitting in the stands this weekend would have provided some scoring punch for Wellington this weekend but Wellington Dukes coach and general manager Marty Abrams said there are enough scorers still in the lineup that the team is capable of producing more than two goals in 120 minutes of hockey “I don't think (lack of offence) is an injury issue,” Abrams said. “Having those players in the lineup would help the depth but we should have enough scoring. Unfortunately, we didn't score and it's a bit concerning but hopefully we can get the offence

rolling this week in practice.”

Wellington had their share of chances in the third period to tie the game up in Pickering on Sunday but there always seemed to be a Panther in the way getting a stick, glove, leg or something else in the way.

Of the eight shots Wellington did get through to the net, Panther goalie Jordan Cartney (formerly of the Fort Frances Lakers) was solid on each and everyone of those volleys.

Wellington got the first goal of the game when Joe Mckeown blasted home his first of the season at the 16:47 mark of the first.

In the second, it was former Wellington Duke prospect Dan Butchart setting up Micheal Giacometti on the power play at 1:25 to knot the game at 1-1.

The teams were tied until the last part of the third period when Giacometti found Joseph Mitchell for the game winner with just under seven minutes to play.

Sunday's game would mark the second time this weekend Wellington would go into the third with a tie and would be unable to gain at least a point out of the contest.

On Friday night in their home opener, Wellington played a previously winless and desperate Cobourg Cougar team to a 1-1 tie through 40 minutes.

Wellington would be victimized by a turnover in their own end about three minutes though as Liam Grande picked up a turnover and made a nice feed to Ryan Taylor who roofed it past Welsh to make it 1-1.

The teams went scoreless in the second although not through lack of trying.

Cobourg captain Connor Armour was left alone in the slot in the second and Welsh made a ten bell windmill-

save, snatching the puck on the goal line.

After Cobourg made it 2-1 early in the third, Welsh again flashed leather and sent the Cougars away shaking their heads and keeping it a one goal game.

But later in the frame, Taylor was allowed to barge in on the Wellington net and he potted his second of the contest to make it a 3-1 lead for the visitors.

Welsh really had no chance on any of the Cobourg goals and Abrams was happy with his netminder.

“He was stellar Friday night and again on Sunday, he's given us fantastic goaltending so far,” Abrams said.

“You've got to score goals to win and we haven't done that.”

Wellington will face off against Austin Broadhurst and the Mississauga Chargers Friday night.

In years past, the Chargers were more like the Retreaters as a weak sister in the OJHL. But that's not the case any longer as the squad made the 2014 OJHL playoffs and have already knocked off the defending champion Toronto Patriots and the Lindsay Muskies.

“You could see the culture change there last season as they made the playoffs. They are fast and quick, so we know we are going to have to bury our chances,” Abrams said.

Wellington gets another taste of Southern Division comfort Saturday night as they travel to Toronto to play the Junior Canadiens.

With the way things are going with former Wellington defencemen, count on Broadhurst having a big game against his former team Friday night....Azzano will be out another two weeks (shoulder) while Devito is 50/50 to play this weekend (Leg bruise). Mascarin is expected back in the lineup.

The Picton Pirates wrapped up their preseason schedule this week, again splitting contests with Gananoque and Clarington.

Picton took a 5–2 victory over the Gananoque Islanders on Wednesday before falling 4–3 to the Clarington Eagles on Saturday evening.

“We were happy with the games we played against Gananoque and the games against Clarington were competitive and we were able to identify some of our weaknesses and things we need to continue to work on,” said Picton coach and general manager Ryan Woodward. “The preseason has been a success and everybody is looking forward to the start of the regular season.

Wednesday's contest was a busy one for both goaltenders. Andrew Pearson made 34 saves for the win while Nicolas Cosgrove made 33 saves in a losing effort.

Jeff Hoey, Steve Clarke, Austin Labelle, Chris Jones, and Justyn Steven scored for Picton while Ryosuke Kobayashi responded with a pair for the Islanders.

Woodward said the team's collective work ethic was a bright spot on Wednesday.

“They worked very hard.

We were physical and our speed really showed,” he said. “We've got a good group. There are some young players who can step in and really make an impact this season.”

Woodward identified Jordan Guindon and Corey Prince as player who have been making an early impact.

The Pirates faced a challenge on Saturday as they were behind the eight ball early.

Clarington's Brent Hambly collected the puck and buried it just 15 seconds into the opening frame to give the Eagles the lead. Clarington would go into the break with the one-goal lead.

County-raised goaltender Minaker made it to Hartford Whalers’ training camp in 1979 Former Ottawa 67, Queen’s Golden Gael succumbed to cancer earlier this month Jason Parks

Staff writer

Prince Edward County lost a hockey pioneer earlier this month when Paul Minaker passed away after a battle with cancer.

Although the records are dusty, Minaker was likely the first locally developed netminder to be drafted and play Major Junior hockey in Ontario since Larry Holmes suited up for the St. Catharines Black Hawks in the mid-1960s.

The fiery netminder was tabbed by the Ottawa 67's in the late 1970s and would go on to play a pair of seasons for famed Ottawa bench boss Brian Kilrea after spending the 1976-1977 campaign with the Tier II Junior A Nepean Raiders.

Minaker would play 61 games for the Barberpoles from 1977 to 1979, posting three shutouts before Kilrea would trade him to the London Knights for the 1979-1980 season where he appeared in 40 games and had 16 wins.

Longtime friend Mark Campbell remembers the play of Minaker well, first playing with him in the old Picton Minor Hockey Association and then watching him play Major Junior at rinks all over Ontario.

“He would have thought he was Ken Dryden but he played more like the Smiths,” Campbell recalled with a laugh.

In ways, Campbell said, Minaker was like Gary “Suitcase” Smith in that he liked to wander from his crease from time to time.

But he was also like 'Battling' Billy Smith of New York Islander fame.

“You didn't want to get near him, he didn't rely on his defenceman to clear the

front of the net,” Campbell shot,” Minaker told Campbell.

Minaker would return to laughed.

Minaker was invited to the Hartford Whalers training camp in the fall of 1979 where he made good impressions upon the NHL club's staff.

Minaker wasn't quite ready to unseat incumbent goaltender John Garrett and was sent on to the minors.

But riding a bus all over the eastern part of the United States didn't sit well with Minaker.

“I remember him calling me and telling me he was going to hang up his skates, saying 'I've got to get on with the next part of my life.',” Campbell recalled.

Campbell tried to persuade the netminder, telling Minaker he was We are pleased to welcome Ryan making the same amount of Hennessy to our family. Ryan has money playing professional hockey as Campbell was completed his certification as a working in an office.

Whitepine, Danford to play for title

The Prince Edward County men's fastball championship will be decided this evening and, in the short history of the re-established league, a pair of teams from outside the municipality will vie for the title.

Perennial powerhouse Whitepine Watershed made it through to the final game in undefeated fashion and will host tonight's championship game at the Tyendinaga softball diamond at 7 p.m.

The Deseronto-based squad will take on Danford Contracting, who punched their ticket to the finals Tuesday evening with a 5-4 win over the Ameliasburgh Warren's Excavating Athletics.

“He never stopped playing the game but like most high level goalies, I guess he couldn't wait to get rid of the pads,” Campbell said.

One of the last times Campbell would play with Minaker was at a Heart and Stroke fundraising tournament in honour of former 67's teammate Bill Kitchen who unexpectedly passed away at the age of 51.

“That was six months after he was diagnosed with cancer and it really hit him hard,” Campbell recalled.

County native Tye Eaton among young additions

PIRATES, from page 22

The Pirates found themselves in a deeper hole early in the second period when Jamie Bennett scored 6:43 into the middle frame.

Brian Bunnett responded for Picton less than two minutes later to make it 2–1. Jones and Devin McCann had the assists.

However, the Eagles continued to press and Braden Gray made it 3–1 at 18:18 of the second.

Again, the Pirates suffered a setback early in the third. Jim Allen tallied at 6:39 of the final frame to make it 4–1, but the Pirates didn't fold.

At 14:28 Taylor Brown found the back of the net with Tye Eaton and Tyson Cassidy picking up the helpers. Curtis Smith narrowed the gap to a goal with his tally just 15 seconds later.

Despite a furious thirdperiod attack — the Pirates out-shot the Eagles 22–4 in the frame — Picton couldn't find the equalizer and took the 4–3 loss. Clarington's Max Tjin made 36 saves for the win.

Woodward said it was good to see the team fight so hard against a Clarington team that dressed a nearly complete lineup.

“We still had quite a few young players in the lineup. They were able to get a lead, but credit the players for not giving up, battling back, and giving themselves an opportunity to tie the game late in the third,” he said. “It's a promising result. You can definitely

see the potential there in the group.”

He said it's been a long time since the club had as many young players on the verge of jumping to the next level.

The Pirates made several signings over the past week. The club resigned 1995-born defenceman Miles Levtov for the 20142015 season. Levtov played 27 games for the Pirates last season, tallying a goal and four assists.

The club also signed 1997-born defencemen Tye Eaton (a county native) and Logan Elliott, and 1996born forward Curtis Smith.

Additionally, the club announced the signing of 16-year-old Austin Labelle for the upcoming season.

Woodward said the team still has some roster space and could look to add a pair of forwards and defencemen as the season progresses.

“We'll probably leave the roster a little bit open to be able to add some players as we go, but we're happy with the group,” he said.

Attendance remains steady at annual model show

TRAINS, from page 13

Larsen said he always loved trains from that point in his life and even as a senior citizen, he can remember sticking his head out the window of a steam locomotive and getting in trouble for having a face blackened with soot. That started his affinity for steam engines.

Once he had some money of his own, Larsen bought a model train set, something that could lend to his mechanical aptitude and his fondness for the railroads. The passion stuck with him throughout his life.

"When I got out of school, I started building," he recalled. When the kids come along, you build sets for them. Eventually they grow up and you put them away. When you retire, you bring them out again."

Now, Larsen has the benefit of working with layouts for the Pine Ridge club — they build North American trains, including the layout he showed this weekend, for sale now, he says as they are "building bigger and better" — and his own at home, featuring the European trains he remembers from his youth.

He said his hope in doing the demonstrations is that more children will get on board.

"I want more young people to get involved and to get off the bloody smart-

phones," he said. "With them, you don't have to learn anything because it does everything for you. I want them to have something else, to learn to get involved in something."

Upstairs, show co-ordinator Jack Strachan watched as some young girls raced one another on a giant slot car track he assembled. He echoed Larsen and Kennedy's comments about the show.

"I just love the faces on the kids," he said.

Strachan said he had got into slot-car racing back in the 1960s, switched to model trains, and just picked up the hobby again in the past few years. He said his interest in racing piqued his interest in the cars and added there's a group of about 25 hobbyists, many different than the model railroaders, who get together to race them.

He said interest in the cars is up and that may be one more way to attract youth to modelling.

This year, Strachan said there were 18 vendors and 20 display exhibitors at the show, a mix of regulars and some new faces. He said he'd have to wait until Sunday for totals, but thought traffic had been on par with other years.

"For me, a good year is 1,000 people. We had 1,015 one year but we're usually somewhere between 800 and 1,000. It seems to stay pretty steady."

Most hirings originally from county DRAKE, from page 17

Even when it comes to staffing, the Drake Devonshire went local. In terms of staff, they explained that about 85 per cent are originally from the county and everyone else is a Toronto transplant, who will be working and living here.

The Drake Devonshire Inn will be open year-round and will also be offering art exhibits and live music for your enjoyment. When you stop by you have to be sure to browse the Drake Devon-

shire's outpost of the Drake General Store where you will find their collection of global treasures, rare antiques and a few quirky curiosities.

From the service I experienced, to the food I tasted, to the wine I sipped and to the view I was mesmerized by one word describes it all and that word would be "spectacular"! And when you are sitting in the restaurant enjoying some local cuisine and county wine and as you gaze out over Lake Ontario I am positive you will utter that exact same word.

THE PROJECT

VEGETABLE LASAGNA

The Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) retained Dillon Consulting Limited to complete the Preliminary Design and Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Study for the replacement of the Pearsall Creek Culvert on Highway 62, north of Huff’s Corners in Prince Edward County. Highway 62 will remain open during construction, however it will be reduced to one lane, with temporary signals used to allow two directions of travel. Additional information is available on the project website: www.EastOntarioBridges.ca.

ZARKYS PREPARED ENTREES

The option to close Highway 62 and detour traffic during construction was considered, however it was not preferred in part based of the volume of traffic using Highway 62 in the summer months and the lack of appropriate detour routes.

Vegetable or Deluxe Lasagna, Cannelloni, Cabage Rolls, Manicotti, Stuffed Peppers or Shepherd’s Pie

THE PROCESS This study was initiated as a Group ‘B’ project under the Class Environmental Assessment for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000). In consultation with stakeholders, the project team has determined the culvert replacement will not result in significant adverse environmental impacts and that there is no benefit in preparing a Transportation Environmental Study Report (TESR). The project is being formally ‘stepped-down’ from a Group ‘B’ to a Group ‘C’ project under the Class EA. Group ‘C’ projects are approved subject to compliance with the requirements of the Class EA process and application of mitigation measures as necessary. As a Group ‘C’ project, an Environmental Screening Document (ESD) will be prepared for internal reference.

COMMENTS The project commencement notice for this study issued in May 2013 indicated a Public Information Centre (PIC) would be held to discuss the project. However, since Highway 62 will remain open to traffic and there are no significant impacts associated with the project, a PIC is no longer required. Please contact one of the team members listed below if you have specific questions or comments regarding the proposed work.

Plain or Cheddar - 12/Bag

MTO is interested in receiving any comments or concerns you may have regarding the decision to ‘step-down’ the culvert replacement EA process. Any individual may request by October 18, 2014 that MTO reconsider the ‘step-down’ decision and continue to classify the work as a Group ‘B’ project. Information collected will be used in accordance with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. With the exception of personal information, all comments will become part of the public record.

MEMORIAM

EDITH ROBLIN JUNE 9, 1925 - SEPT 21, 2011 In loving memory of our mother Edith who passed away three years ago…

Your mother is always with you.

She’s the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street, she’s the smell of certain foods you remember, flowers you pick, the fragrance of life itself.

She’s the cool hand on your brow when you’re not feeling well, she’s your breath in the air on a cold winter’s day.

She is the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep, the colors of a rainbow, she is Christmas morning. Your mother lives inside your laughter.

She’s the place you came from, your first home, and she’s the map you follow with every step you take. She’s your first love, your first friend, even your first enemy, but nothing on earth can separate you.

Not time, not space… Not even death.

Deep in our hearts you'll always stay, loved and remembered every day…

John & Nancy, Margaret & Hal, Wayne & Pat, David & Cathy, Rhonda & Joe, Faye & Jeroen

Crowds still flock to see parade, exhibits as officials celebrate gift from diocese AdAm BrAmBurger

Staff writer

Umbrellas were the fashion accessory of the day as the Milford Fair parade rolled into the fairgrounds just after noon Saturday. Local historians say it was the first time it rained during the fair in the village since 1974, threatening a longstanding tradition of socializing and fun.

Rain didn't put a damper on the day, however, as streams of people poured into the Shed to take in the many agricultural and home craft exhibitions on display or scattered into Mt. Tabor to watch the annual Murray Clapp Memorial Citizenship Awards, followed by live music. Some brave individuals took part in games outside as the water streamed down and bingo at Bredin Hall was again a hit.

"It rained on our parade, but that didn't matter. It was fun," said South Marysburgh councillor Barb Proctor at opening ceremonies. "I'm very pleased that this year we're honouring the farmers in our community. They're the foundation of our community, the roots of our community, and it's so nice the

rAin or shine Faithful visitors of the Milford Fair still paid their admission, took part in activities, and viewed exhibits even though the weather conditions were less than ideal Saturday afternoon. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

farms have a succession plan and young people are farming the lands."

In her remarks, Proctor also talked about a tradition that lasted longer than the sunny weather which was also in jeopardy this year until a benevolent partner emerged. She told fairgoers how St. Philip's Anglican Church gave permission to the recreation committee in 1942 to scrape land west of its rectory clear for a ball diamond. In 1945, that same site was home for a welcome-back barbecue for the township's soldiers, then the following year the Milford Fair started. Rain or shine, people

have been gathering at the fairgrounds ever since.

Through the years ,the arrangement was modified a bit — the church and the recreation committee set a formal rental agreement in 1965 to allow activities promoting recreation and good sportsmanship at the site — but this year, it appeared threatened when the Parish of Marysburgh (St. Philip's and St. John's in Waupoos) elected to sell the rectory lands. The parish and the Ontario Anglican diocese, however, were open to seeing the tradition continue and eventually came to an agreement to sign over the land.

Since February 1997, I, Kevin Simmons, have owned and operated The Source (formerly Radio Shack) in Picton, Ontario. During that time I have built the business from a small store to a successfully busy establishment.

I believe that the major reason for this accomplishment is a dedication to customer service. At times, the path to this achievement hasn’t been an easy one, with store moves, name changes and the many day to day challenges of maintaining a retail business. After almost 18 years, I have decided to pursue other interests and sell my business. I am thrilled to announce the next exciting step for The Source Picton. One of the things that has made this decision much easier is that I have found the ideal entrepreneurs to take over the business. The new owners of The Source Picton will be a brother and sister team, Jacquelyn and Michael Kenthol.

Jacquelyn and Michael are no strangers to the County, their family has had property here for over 40 years. They spent many of their childhood weekends here, their parents are moving here in retirement, and Jacquelyn and Michael themselves will be property owners in the County.

So even though there will be a change in faces at The Source Picton, the dedication to customer service will remain the same. Their youthful exuberance will propel many business improvements for years to come.

Drop by The Source and meet Jacquelyn and Michael!

"It is just an overwhelming act of generosity and we are so grateful," said Proctor.

She added a plaque will be erected on the land in the near future to honour the diocese for the gift and to commemorate 75 years of citizens young and old benefitting from the partnership.

Mayor Peter Mertens, thanking the community for the welcome he's received at the fair during his four years in office, also chose to celebrate the gift in his opening remarks.

"It's a great gift of the municipality of the land, ensuring the people of Milford, South Marysburgh and everyone who visits here is able to participate and enjoy the fair."

As always, with the fair designed to bring the community together, the opening ceremonies proved a perfect time to honour people who have given much to it by way of the annual Murray Clapp Memorial Citizenship Awards. Fiona Head, Joyce Minaker, and Glendon Walker were among those who selected the recipients this year and they announced they had six people to recognize.

Those presented with medallions included… n Phil Kinnear, a volunteer firefighter for the past six years. Kinnear hopes to become a first responder in the near future.

Partners say collaborative fundraising effort reflects the care hospitals, society offer patients

MUDDERS, from page 1

She later told the Gazette that the event seemed to exceed the objectives that both organizers and participants had set before arriving on the scene that dreary morning.

"We were hoping for 300 participants and we had well over 400. The event went very well," she said. "Leading up to the course, some people were saying it wasn't a real mudder challenge because it was only five kilometres. By the end of it, even people who had done several mudder events before said, 'Oh my gosh, this is really hard.'"

She said thanks for that is due to the volunteers from CFB Trenton, who were instrumental in designing the obstacles themselves, and also to Kemp Stewart and the staff of Hillier Creek Estates who allowed their guests free reign to set up the course as

they see fit.

Warner indicated that good old Mother Nature also had a hand in ramping up the difficultly level by offering up a cold, wet day that was sure to make life miserable even for the most upbeat adventurers.

"The mud added some tears at the end of the day.

Some people felt like they were carrying an extra 20 pounds running through the mud between the grapes from challenge to challenge.

It was like cement."

A telling sign of the conditions, Warner said there were many running shoes left at Hillier Creek after.

Warner said the Prince Edward and Trenton foundations have had a good working relationship because as smaller rural hospitals, they have a similar way of thinking. She noted they were been working together twoand-a-half years ago to put

together the basics for an adventure race, but staff changes had caused a delay in the process. When they revised the event, they heard the Canadian Cancer Society was planning something similar and it could borrow on experiences from a similar event under the Grapes of Wrath brand in Niagara. The three charitable organizations decided it was best to pool their efforts to make one grand event.

Warner said it was particularly fitting that they came together to fundraise given that cancer care is very much a collaborative effort. While the local Cancer Society branch raises funds for research and transportation, the local hospitals can't be forgotten during a patient's fight.

"When you're treating cancer, the hospital is there and involved. It plays a critical role in the diagnosis and the actual care," she said,

adding that some patients who suffer complications from chemotherapy sometimes end up in emergency rooms or have procedures closer to home.

Local Canadian Cancer Society manager Amy Doyle agreed.

"This partnership is a great way to explain to donors how the Canadian Cancer Society works to impact the care you receive every day at your local hospital. Great cancer care starts with great research and for over 75 years, the Canadian Cancer Society has funded world-classs research into all 200-plus types of cancer," she said. "Every year there are new breakthroughs, new and improved treatments, and better outcomes for patients all delivered at our local hospitals."

Adding in over 200 spectators, Warner said the event brought 700 people to Hillier on the weekend and she said that likely had some impact on local businesses that rely on tourism. She praised

council for allowing the event to move forward with a special events permit despite earlier controversy.

Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation president Leo Finnegan was one of the volunteers who were in Hillier to help with the event. He said as far as he could see, it was wellrun. He credited the foundation's members on the committee — Briar Boyce, Hazel Lloyst, and Monica Alyea — and their co-collaborators for the vision and the organization, which not only included the race itself, but also bus transportation and site management.

"I thought it was very well organized," Finnegan said.

Asked if he'd ever take on some of the obstacles, Finnegan joked he was too old for that, but said he came away impressed by the participants who wandered out to face the unknown.

"Despite the weather and what they had to go through with those obstacles, they seemed to be enjoying it," he

said.

Finnegan indicated he still didn't know the bottom line coming back to the local hospital after expenses, but indicated the money will help purchase new equipment.

When asked if the funds would be earmarked to a particular purchase, he said "that's still to be determined."

Both Finnegan and Warner said they expect the event will take place in future years and Warner went as far as saying that people are already asking for next year's date, so it's hard to stop at this point.

Prizes were awarded to the top fundraiser, top fundraising team, and most spirited team. Linda Latchford, the top fundraiser, won a $100 gift card to The Running Room. The Running Stitches won the fundraising team award, gaining a tour, tastings, and pizza from Hillier Estates (presumably on a nicer day), and the Dirty Dozen Minus Two won Subway party platters as most spirited team.

Interior of Main Street landmark will be gutted as mold has left furnishings in poor state

HOTEL, from page 1

Some of the existing structure toward the back of those floors will be removed to provide more light for the rooms inside.

The roof and the interior of the building will have to be entirely redone.

"The roof is not really a problem it just has to be torn away and completely replaced," he joked. "The problem is it has been leaking for five years and as a result of that, the interior is an absolute disaster. You cannot go in there without a mask to protect you from hold that's really powerful and dangerous."

The main floor is where the public is going to see considerable change, both facing the street and facing back to the Market Square area. Sorbara said the nonheritage part of the building's street entrance will feature a predominantly glass frontage that is typical of many modern hotels today.

"The architects say that's the way to invite people into the building," he said. "The first floor is something that will be very inviting to the entire community. You'll come for dinner and you'll come for lunch. There will be significant food and beverage operations. People from the county or elsewhere may come to hold a wedding there, it's that type of facility."

He added Katie told him the hotel should have the best bakery in the world with enticing smells to attract people off the street, a

venture he says he's working on.

At the rear of the building, Sorbara envisions a back deck overlooking a landscaped garden area. The deck will be a place where people can relax in the summer, order food and drink, and have meetings.

With respect to history, with gutting much of the building, Sorbara said it will be hard to keep artifacts. He added his daughter is taking some photos of the current interior that will likely grace the guest rooms and added he's also working with historian Peter Lockyer on a project to share the hotel's past.

Sorbara indicated one of his frustrations in building is that many people expect the project to be finished quickly, however it still has to work through the normal planning and construction process. It may be close to three years before the landmark can again start accommodating guests.

"It will probably take a year-and-a-half to two years to build," he said. "The agenda is for us to begin construction as soon as the weather will permit early next year… We hope to be opening our doors to our first visitors some time in 2017. These things always run into challenges."

Sorbara said he doesn't see any issues that should become insurmountable when dealing with local officials, but is quick to caution that he is in no mood to see his project delayed by red tape.

"I cannot afford personal-

ly and financially to meet roadblocks," he said. "In our first meeting with the County, some officials suggested the property would have to go through rezoning. That just can't be. It was a hotel and it's going to be a hotel. If we have to go through a year-and-a-half rezoning, that's not on. We're hoping the new council becomes a partner with us because, frankly, this changes everything in Picton."

Sorbara says he hopes to time the opening with Canada's 150th anniversary and he's even come to terms with naming a room after John A. Macdonald, even if he was a Tory.

Moreover, however, he's looking to the future and how the revitalization of a building might pay dividends in this community.

Sorbara has been talking with his neighbours on some ideas to bring people

downtown, including the possibility of bringing the acclaimed Soul Pepper Theatre from Toronto to the Regent and offering some of the best home-grown food county producers can supply.

During his presentation, Sorbara gave an indication why he's so passionate about this particular project, which he hopes will be a catalyst to keep arts and creativity as a centrepiece of the

community.

"This place, for reasons that I don't understand, has got 20 years of enormous potential ahead. I don't know why it is, except I feel it personally with the way our roots have gone down.

It's a magnet. People want to come here."

Sorbara said he will be holding some public consultations and meetings in the future to give more details about the restoration project.

How to increase storage in tight spaces

An ottoman is a great place to store extra blankets and linens, while a trunk or crate with a sturdy top can be used in lieu of a traditional coffee table to keep books or board games. * Think vertically. When floor space is at a premium, you may need to look up for storage. Frequently used pots and pans can be hung from a decorative rack in your kitchen. Use magnets on jars to store a spice rack on the wall near the stove. Racks above cabinets or on doors can be used to store everything from shoes to jewelry to toiletries. Shelving in children's rooms can store lesser used toys away from the floor. Empty walls are valuable real estate in a small home, and tall bookshelves can house a number of

different things. * Take advantage of oddly shaped crevices. If you have space under a staircase or a spot by a dormer or in an attic eave, use the space to store items. You may need to get creative, such as adding a door and small closet into the staircase, but such spaces make practical storage areas and add character to a home. * Use see-through storage containers.

Many people find that plastic storage bins are neater and more stackable than boxes. See-through bins enable you to quickly find items so that you are not searching around the house for lost items and creating a bigger mess along the way. Clear storage containers work in the refrigerator, too. You can more easily

spot leftovers, and uniform stacking containers free up more room for bulkier items. * Make use of space beneath your bed.

There likely is ample room to store more things than just dust bunnies beneath your bed. A bed frame with built-in drawers is the perfect place to keep bed linens and out-of-season clothes. Beds can be raised on blocks to create more space underneath for storing rolling plastic containers and even seldom-used suitcases. * Opt for an armoire. Armoires are not exclusive to bedrooms. Armoires can be used in dining spaces or in dens to store items out of sight. An armoire can be used when retrofitted with a pull-out

Nature Lover's Paradise ~ 57 Harbard Road Ameliasburg

shelf as a laptop desk, storing all office items behind closed doors when not needed. * Improve storage in the bathroom. Try to choose a vanity that has under-thesink storage so you will have a place to store some toiletries. Home improvement centers sell cabinets and etageres that can be placed above the toilet tank

as a storage space for bathroom items. In the shower, hang a second tensionloaded shower curtain rod on the inside of the shower enclosure that can be used to hold bags of kids bath toys and other toiletries, keeping them off the tub ledges.

When you think creatively, you can maximize storage space even in a small home.

MCG - Cozy, quaint homes attract many home buyers and renters. Be it a cottagestyle house or a studio apartment, smaller living spaces often involve getting creative with storage.

People live in a smaller homes for a variety of reasons. Some choose to live in a smaller home so they can be right in the thicks of things in a city or urban center.

Others scale back on living space in an effort to save money. But storage space in small quarters is often at a premium, and thinking creatively is a necessity to keep the home tidy and items out of view.

Rainy or chilly days are the perfect times to tackle indoor organization projects.

When the outdoors isn't beckoning, you can devote all of your attention to addressing storage issues in your home. To begin, take inventory of what you have, going through your possessions and determining what can stay and what can go. Part with anything you haven't used in quite some time.

The next step is to sort items and get organized. Then you can find a place for everything. For example, if you have a dozen bath towels but only one sauce pot, you will need to find more room for linens than kitchen cookware. You may need to borrow space from one area of the home to give to another area. The following are some additional tips to increase space in an otherwise cramped home. * Add shelves. Increase cabinet and closet space by adding shelves into them. This may double or even triple the amount of usable space, especially if you customize the shelving to fit storage containers you use to store everything from shoes to craft items. * Opt for dual-purpose furniture.

Benches with lids that lift up and sofas that convert into guest beds are just a few of the many ways you can keep a small home neat and increase storage space.
