It was easy to see the draw of the Milford Fair on Saturday morning. It would be hard for anyone to miss the lineup of cars, which stretched as far as the eye could see in both directions along County Rd. 17. With a hefty crowd on hand, the fair didn't disappoint. It kicked off Saturday morning with a crowdpleasing parade, continued through a show from Prince Edward County Pipes and Drums, and the official opening of the fair by Mayor Peter Mertens. There was both quantity and quality in the local vendors providing crafts and foods. Pumpkin painting, a petting zoo, birdhouse building, and other kids activities were filled to the brim with eager youngsters. All in all, it was another fantastic year for the old fashioned county fair, said Milford Fair Board past president Charlie Vincent. “It's a perfect turnout, it's beautiful,” he said. “It'll

be over 1,000 (people) ... When I come in fairly close to start, I just check for cars and they're as far as I can see in all directions.” The fair sported a full afternoon of entertainment organized by Suzanne Pasternak. The entertainment kicked off with Grandpa's Goodtime Gang. “It's the kind of thing you'd pay $50 for in Toronto that Suzanne Pasternak has built. People will work for her by request – she's so

popular with musicians,” Vincent said of the lineup of entertainers. Vincent said one of the things that people love about the fair is that they always know what they're going to get. There's nothing too flashy, but it's always fun, he said. “It doesn't change too much. There's no rides, there's craft sales,” he said. “It's very old fashioned. I've talked to people who set their alarm for 6 a.m. in Toronto just to come down.

People come back.” In addition, it's a social event for a tight-knit community, Vincent said. “It's very much a social gathering. It's a small enough field that you're going to run into somebody you know at some point – that's a strong feature,” he said. “Another thing is everything the kids do is free. It's simple – face painting, pumpkin carving, building bird houses – but I've talked to people who have taken their kids to Wonderland for about $300. They can't believe it's free.” Vincent called the fair a “celebration of rural life.” “It's a focal point. People look forward to it all year,” he said. Prince Edward-Hastings MPP Todd Smith spoke of the atmosphere of togetherness the fair brings to families, noting his own family was in attendance. “That's what it's all about, coming to the Milford Fair, it's about bringing your family together,” he said. “I know there are people here who aren't from Milford, there are people here from all over the place. The reason they're here is you have this great community event and this great family atmosphere.

The findings of the Prince Edward County citizens' assembly will be presented at Shire Hall for the first time this morning. Committee of the whole will receive a presentation from project lead and Queen's University professor Dr. Jonathan Rose this morning beginning at 9:30. The assembly recommended a reduction in council size — to10 councillors plus a mayor — down from the current 15 councillors plus a mayor. Deputations from residents Monica Alyea and Kathy Vowinckel are also scheduled for this morning's meeting. Vowinckel was a member of the assembly and she asserted that there were a number of members who believed the size of council should not be changed. She promised to present that “dissenting opinion” this morning. In a deputation forwarded to the Gazette on Wednesday morning, Vowinckel said the number of 10 was reached through “consensus building” and opinions on the assembly ranged from six to 15 councillors. “There are a number of citizens who strongly feel that the status quo (15) is the correct answer to the question, what should the size of the Prince Edward County council be?” she said. She said a smaller council will mean fewer people will decide the governance and direction of the municipality. “We feel we have a diverse community and would like all voices to be heard at council deliberations,” she said. A report from mayor Peter Mertens regarding electoral ward boundary options will then be debated. The report points to a need for a change in electoral boundaries if council chooses to reduce the size of council.

Picton model railroaders engineer their 25th show Hobby display offers different thrills for all ages Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

While it wasn't a big thing when he was a kid, Robert McGirr said he's glad model trains are still around. The Toronto resident was visiting Prince Edward County – where he has a home – and decided to visit the Picton Model Railroaders 25th annual Model Train and Hobby Show on Saturday. “I've never been to a model train show before, so I thought I would come and see what it's about,” said McGirr. “It's pretty good. I'm glad to see it's still around. It's not something in my generation, but I'm glad to see people still keep it up.” McGirr said even in Toronto he hasn't seen many similar events or clubs. While he said he doesn't think it's something he would get into as a hobby, McGirr said it's satisfying seeing the work that others have put into their displays. “Just to see what they've put into it is good enough for me. It's interesting though,” he said. “When I did architecture in high school we built miniature houses and things, so it's good to see. It's hard to say I won't get into it when I'm older, but it's interesting.” McGirr was admiring a particularly intricate night

streetscape Saturday afternoon. He said it's nice to see models and similar hobbies are still around for kids. “This is impressive, I like the night stuff,” he said. “It's good for kids too to get them away from their video games and it's something for them that's handson.” Toronto resident Phil Cory said he was visiting his cottage in Prince Edward County and decided to check out the show. “It's fantastic, they have a great display and wide variety of trains,” he said. “They look great, I'm glad it's here in town. Cory said it was first time visiting the show and the detail of the displays and models was impressive. “It's incredible how much time and energy these people put into their

trains. It's admirable,” he said. Show co-ordinator Jack Strachan said it was a special year for the Picton Model Railroaders. He said the club built some special trains and coffee mugs to mark the 25th anniversary. This year's show featured 17 different vendors. Strachan said people's interest in the hobby comes in it's variety. “There are so many different facets to it. Personally, I like the scenery stuff,” he said. “There are people who collect stuff – different types of cars or locomotives. A lot of people like to run the trains – there are all different aspects to it.” In terms of the show's audience, Strachan said he believes the show offers something very different. “A lot of hobby shows you go to, you just look.

This is hands on,” he said. “There's a layout here where the kids can run trains, there's a slot car track where they can run slot cars and there's a pond where kids can radio control boats.” A flight simulator was also available for kids to test out their pilot skills. “One of the big things is (the hobbies) get kids away from their cell phones and their TVs – it gets them actually using their hands to do things,” said Strachan. As of mid afternoon on Saturday Strachan said the show was experiencing very good attendance. “It's been good so far today,” he said. Strachan said the Picton Model Railroaders are always seeking new members and all are welcome.

Steady flow of visitors seek treasure at Crystal Palace’s fall antique show on display. “It's so fun to play with all this jewelry,” she said. “We got here right at 2 O'clock. We didn't want to miss a thing.” Blakely and Heard were mainly checking out the jewelry, but were positive about the rest of the show as well. “It's awesome as usual, very good. I like the jewelry, to see what's here in the jewelry,” she said, adding

It was another successful year for the annual Prince Edward County Fall Antique Show and Sale. With the show just minutes old on Friday, visitors streamed into the Crystal Palace. That flow never seemed to slow throughout the weekend as the fairground was regularly packed with vehicles. Organizers Ken and Holly Newland were pleased with how things were going following Friday's opening. “We're having a good start, there's no question,” said Ken. “People seem to like coming to this location and we enjoy putting it on.” He said the show regular attracts about 1,500 visitors each fall. This year's show featured 31 vendors offering jewelry, small, furniture, glassware, toys and lots of other collectible and intriguing items. “We try to keep it as varied as possible. We don't want too much of the same, too much glass and china, too much jewelry – we try to keep it as balanced as possible,” Ken said. “... There's a good variety of small furniture and we try to make sure that's there and try to cover all (the bases.)”

that she's found a few rings to purchase in the past.” “I like the gold stuff, I like the jewelry too,” concurred Heard. Vendor Ed Hrlec has attended the fall show for the past three years. “It's fun; we're retired older people, so what else are we going to do?” he laughed. Hrlec said he bring “a little bit of everything” to the show. There were a few

toys, some stoneware and antique glass bottles on display at his booth. “If you have an old bottle – especially if it's embossed or has lettering on it – in many cases it's the only record that the company ever existed,” he said. “From that point you can maybe do some research and find out when it was, what they made – it's more an interest in history than anything else.”

He said the show tries to reach a variety of markets with its advertising and people from as far away as Ottawa, Toronto, and Montreal visit each year. “We do seem to be able to attract a wide variety and they seem to be pleased with it,” he said. Holly, too, was pleased with the start the show was having early Friday. “We're getting a really strong crowd at the start and everybody seems to be in a buying mood. I was just inside and there were a lot of people with purchases and I'm really pleased with the mix of vendors we have,” she said. “The merchandise they've brought is

just terrific, so I'm really happy with it.” She said the antique show was the first event to make the Crystal Palace its regular home. She said it's a fitting setting for the antique show and it's something that vendors and visitors alike seem to enjoy. “It's perfect, the vendors love it because of the building. It gives you that atmosphere,” she said. Janet Blakely and friend Janice Heard were waiting to enter just as the doors to the show opened on Friday afternoon. While Blakely has attended before, Heard said this was her first time. Blakely said she enjoys checking out all the jewelry

Ens said any donations are greatly appreciated. She said the walk also gives the centre a chances to create some awareness by getting out into the community.

unplanned pregnancy. “When that happens, no matter how old a woman is, that can be quite a crisis to them,” she said. “What we're here to do is first of all give them information about what their options would be and when they choose to have the baby we walk through that with them.” Ens said that can mean material support as well as emotional support. She said the centre also provides counselling for both those with post-abortion stress and women who have experienced a miscarriage. “Quite a number of women have post-abortion stress and it can happen anywhere from a year to 30 years after an abortion. Quite often a woman will have an abortion and never tell anyone,” said Ens. “We provide that peer counselling for them as well as women who've had a miscarriage because they do tend to carry guilt.” Ens said the centre is also beginning a program to educate youth.

“It's not just about sexual abstinence, it's thinking about plans for your life,” she said. Ens said she wants people in the community to know that the centre is there and can help. “Sometimes things happen in life and people think that it's going to be the end of their life as they know it,” she said. “That's not necessarily so. There's always hope, there's always a way to work around a problem and sometimes … we just need someone to walk beside us as we make those decisions.” She said she also wants people in the community to know that the centre is open to anyone. She said often people who don't have unplanned pregnancies come in just to talk. “In this world where everyone is so busy, we're a place where people can stop in maybe for half an hour and just be encouraged,” she said. “… If people are lonely, if people are facing hard times, were here to help and to listen.” Ens said she's grateful and thankful to all the people who support the walk each year. Registration for the walk is set for 9:30 with the walk beginning at 10 a.m. A barbecue will follow and participants are invited to check out an open house at the centre at 15 Elizabeth Street. The regular office hours at the PCC are Tuesday to Thursday from 11–4, but appointments can be arranged for any other time.

PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY

Looking back in the

Picton Gazette 80 years ago — 1933

■ The Prince Edward Agricultural Society invited Governor General Lord Bessborough and his wife to open the annual Picton Fair. The couple had been planning to visit towns in Ontario and it appeared to be a suitable time to invite them to Prince Edward County. ■ The management staff at the Picton A&P grocery store were given a $75 prize for winning a competition among the 156 stores in the chain for showing the highest percentage of business increase in the previous quarter. ■ The lack of bodies to field two men’s rugby teams at the Picton Collegiate was the subject of a student protest. The school decided to give up on forming a senior team, but several senior athletes felt that the more seasoned junior players could be bumped up to help them play. ■ Due to past attempts by people to avoid paying to enter the fair, all fences were to be watched and the agricultural society threatened to take legal action.

60 years ago — 1953

■ The County elected to start a bounty program for the green fox with the treasurer authorized to pay the sum of $3 for each pelt shot within the county and produced to him. ■ A Mountain View boy, E’gin Wyatt, age 4, spilled soldering acid over his face and chest while seeking a wrench to fix his bicycle. His grandmother said he could still see out of one eye, but the other was too badly swollen to determine what damage may have been caused by the accident. ■ Tickets were on sale for a “dream cottage” lottery promotion for the County Memorial Hospital Building Fund. Blanche Lighthall was one of the more enthusiastic sellers, having sold 480 tickets chiefly around the Glenora ferry. Her goal was to sell 1,000 tickets overall.

40 years ago — 1973

■ Rene Brunelle, Ontario’s Minister of Community and Social Services was invited to attend the sod turning for the County’s new home for senior citizens. The $1.7-million home, financed 50/50 by the County and the province was expected to contain 84 beds upon completion, replacing the original county home built around 1905, believed then to be the oldest seniors home in the province. ■ The province appointed George S.C. Ferguson to act as the arbitrator in a dispute between the Picton police commission and its officers over wages. The force had been asking for an increase of 31 per cent over one year, compared to the commission’s offer of a 15-per-cent increase spread over a two-year period.

20 years ago — 1993

■ Local NDP members were scrambling after the federal party refused to endorse candidate Adam Fisher. Fisher claimed to have been mayor of Likely, B.C. in the 1970s on his resume, but it was discovered the hamlet never had a mayor. He later stated he was president of the Chamber of Commerce, a position many locals considered like the mayor. ■ The Quinte’s Isle Non-Profit Housing Committee opened Hillside Village, a 42unit townhouse development intended to supply affordable housing to area families. The entire development cost $3.5 million to build and was finished in May.

An odd bird with a pouch monitors local island

The very first white pelican I ever saw was courtesy of a Glenora Fisheries research employee, in 1978. He spotted the bird just off Trident Point in the Bay of Quinte, not far from the mouth of the Salmon River, and took me out in a boat to see it. Two years later, now an employee of Glenora Fisheries myself, I had the pleasure of showing him another white pelican at the same location. Through a spotting scope, the bird could be seen from the opposite shoreline, at Big Island. Considered to be one of North America’s largest and most conspicuous birds, their three meter wingspan is certainly the largest of any Canadian bird. Upon seeing a white pelican in these parts, one is often quick to assume that the bird is way of course, mistakenly associating these huge fish eating birds with the coastal areas of the United States and Mexico. While white pelicans do indeed winter in southern United States, their breeding colonies are located predominantly in Canada. In Ontario, there is a good-sized colony of white pelicans at the southern end of Lake of the Woods in the Kenora area, where they have been actively breeding for more than 200 years. They also breed at Lake Nipigon. As a result of these Ontario colonies, and possibly another one in Minnesota, the Quinte region is occasionally favoured by visits from these huge birds with the enormous orange-yellow bill. Just seven years ago, accordFollowing a very humble start, the Emmanuel Baptist Church in Bloomfield has experienced much growth and many blessings over the past quarter century. This weekend, the congregation will invite the public to celebrate that journey with them. On Saturday, from 4-7 p.m. the congregants invite the public to join them at the Bloomfield Millpond Park for a

ing to the Ontario Breeding Bird Atlas, white pelicans were found nesting in the Akimiski Strait, Nunavut, indicating an easterly expansion of their breeding range. It’s understandable, therefore, that nomads are starting to turn up in the Quinte area, given their penchant for wandering. There have been more than a dozen confirmed reports of white pelicans in the Quinte area since record keeping began, all seen in Prince Edward County waters, if we include the Trident Point sightings. However, the sightings are not confined just to the Bay of Quinte. Pelicans have been seen often enough in the Kingston area to actually determine average arrival and departure dates for the species. There are likely a half dozen sightings for the Presqu'ile Park area, two for Algonquin Park, and other sightings scattered along the Lake Ontario shoreline and

inland. Earlier records in Prince Edward County date back to 1937 when one was seen near the community of Northport. Par for the course of that era, the bird was duly “collected” and shipped off to the Royal Ontario Museum. Another was seen in 1959, at Waupoos. Fortunately during the passage of time, the practice of shooting birds and preparing study skins to confirm their appearance had all but ended, and this bird managed to survive intact. Since then, there have been scattered sightings throughout the county, with an incredible four seen in 1985 in the South Bay area, and which later appeared on West Lake. There was an individual observed in Wellington in 1986 two seen off Prince Edward Point in 2004, and one at Forester’s Island near Deseronto in 1999. Boaters in the Belleville area, not familiar with the species, did a double-take when they spotted a huge pelican consorting with the smaller gulls in the area of Cow Island and Snake Island in 2007. That bird hung around in the area for a month, disappeared, and it, or another showed up at Muscote Bay the following month. Another was seen the following year at Carrying Place, and still another the next year in Picton Bay. Earlier this year, three were seen at Bayside, but failed to hang around. As of Aug. 21 another white pelican has been seen making its way toward Deseronto. It was first seen near Trident

Point, later turned up at Northport and was last reported from Telegraph Narrows, just west of the Quinte Skyway Bridge. If any reader has an update on this wandering individual, I would appreciate hearing about it. White pelicans hunt for fish by dabbling below the surface, tipping up to feed like the mallards and swans routinely do along the shallows of local waters. It is the brown pelican, the true resident of the south, that feeds by diving spectacularly into the water from great heights, after the manner of ospreys in these parts. Brown pelicans rarely occur in Ontario, but 11 years ago, there was an incursion of sorts into Ontario of these birds. It is doubtful if anyone knows for sure just how many appeared in the province, or why, as they kept popping up all over the place, then disappearing. Locally, there were sightings that year at Weller’s Bay and at Sandbanks. But it didn’t stop there. Reports that fall also came in from Nipissing, Jordan Lake, Peterborough, Hamilton, Cobourg, Point Pelee, Madoc and Havelock. So, keep your eyes peeled for a white pelican this month as it continues to move about it. You sure can’t miss it!

The next morning at 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. there will be a special anniversary service entitled “People Get Ready” at the church. Emmanuel started in August 1985 with 16 members of Calvary Baptist Church in Picton deciding to start a new church in Bloomfield. Under

the guidance of its first pastor Kent Neilson and his wife Wendy, the congregation soon grew to 60 people who met at Pinecrest Memorial School and at the Bloomfield Town Hall. Construction on the Corey Street Church began in 1988 and it officially opened in 1989. Since, there have been two additions — one in 1996 under the guidance of pastor Don Walcott and wife Leslie, who

led the church from 1993 to 2004. The second started recently in 2010 under the direction of pastor Peter Spragg, and was completed in 2011. Spragg, who has been serving the church with his wife Gill and their family since 2004. Under Sprague’s watch, the congregation grew to more than 600 people.

French ban on youth pageants an idea worth exploring

THIS week, French lawmakers decided that beauty pageants for children under age 16 were going too far to promote the sexualization of children and they made it a criminal offence to organize such pageants punishable by jail time and fines. While some might see this law as unreasonable and an overreaction to a legitimate activity for young girls, it is an intervention that is past due and an example for other countries to consider. Anyone who has ever watched the television show Toddlers and Tiaras would likely realize that childhood beauty pageants aren’t simply games of dress-up. Some parents and judges are obsessed about the way these young children look — the way their clothing fits, the way makeup is caked on their faces to give them just the right look, and the way they show off their bodies and personalities to win the approval of judges. Many of the parents displayed also push their children very hard to win at all costs, no matter the messages they’re sending. Proponents say they’re teaching their teaching their children to have self esteem and confidence, yet despite all the children’s best efforts to conform to the standards the judges have for them, not everyone wins and often, there are new ideals these young women must strive to achieve. It’s simply unnatural and attempts to link a person’s esteem with their body image at a very young age. Popular culture does not get a free pass in this discussion either. Walking through a department store, one can notice clothing for designed for young girls with slogans bearing innuendo that might make one wonder just who was really behind the design. Fashion trends like high heels and lower-cut garments also seem to be pushed for younger and younger ages, likely the result of influences such as television and movies. There are plenty of outlets for young people to enter into that can help them build their confidence and self worth without forcing them to grow up so quickly and worry so much about body image, conforming to styles and ideals, and impressing other people with looks and interactions. One can understand that parents want their children to be socially accepted, talented, and recognized from an early age, but there is a time for children to be children and not have to worry about what the world wants them to be or attracting other people with their physical qualities. They have a whole lifetime to deal with that ahead of them. Instead of pushing the trends, parents should be the people who teach their children about respecting themselves and their bodies. Perhaps the children who enter these youth pageants might find the same degree of fulfillment taking up a sport, learning a dance or a musical instrument, or simply playing with friends and being children — even dressing up, but not being judged. It’s time for lawmakers on this side of the ocean to consider following suit and taking away this hollow form of pageantry and added pressure.

September brings engaging new library programs

In October, a series of computer workshops will be held at the Wellington branch library. The first is “Windows PC file management” on Saturday, Oct. 5 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. taught by Amanda Harrison. Learn how to organize the information on your computer in this hands-on workshop as you create, copy, move and delete files and folders. This is an essential skill in order to store and retrieve files with ease. You will also learn to change the views on your computer, how to copy files from external devices such as a digital camera, and get a brief overview of Cloud storage. Note that you must either have attended the library’s basic Internet skills workshop or be comfortable using a computer to take this session. This workshop is for Windows PCs XP to Windows 8 only. If you own a Mac or a tablet and would like to learn about file management for those, contact the Picton branch computer lab to set up an appointment for a oneon-one session at 613-4765962 or e-mail: computerhelp@peclibrary.org). On Saturday, Oct. 12, the library is offering a Windows PC software maintenance workshop from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. taught by Eric Pierce. In this class, participants will learn how to maintain the software on their Windows PC computers through updates, how to install antivirus software and how to add and remove free programs from the Internet as well learn other monitoring and fine-tuning of software applications. On Monday, Oct. 21, the library presents two information sessions. These differ from workshops in that they are not hands-on so you do not need to have a computer to attend. Sessions are also only two hours long. The first session, from 10 a.m. to 12 noon is “Choosing an Internet provider for your home or business” where you will learn in simple terms how the Internet works, the key attributes of the different types of services, including DSL, cable fixed wireless, cellphone based and satellite. You will also be introduced to the service

providers in thecounty. The second information session, “Choosing a PC or tablet computer”, is also on Oct. 21 and runs from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. With so many choices when purchasing a new computer today, it is easy to be unsure as to what to buy. In this information session, you will be shown the key attributes of available devices, looking at Windows and Mac desktops, laptops, as well as Apple and Android tablets to help you make an informed decision. Eric Pierce teaches both information sessions. Lastly, the library presents an information session called ‘How to Use Ancestry.com – the library edition to research your family history”. Ancestry is the most popular software currently in use for genealogical research. The program can be accessed for free at the library. This information session is on Monday, Oct. 28 from 10 a.m. to noon and taught by Whitney Lee. While all workshops are free, and may be taught by different members of the library staff, registration is required for all by contacting Amanda at 613-476-5962 or by e-mail: computerlab@peclibrary.org. We are currently planning additional Windows 8 boot camp and computer Internet basics workshops for November. As well, we are collecting names for workshops that may be held in the Ameliasburgh Town Hall if there is enough interest. Please contact Barb Sweet at 613-476-5962 or e-mail bsweet@peclibrary.org to put your name on the list.

Lower admission fees might boost attendance at Picton Fair

Like a lot of people, I appreciate all the hard work & long hours that many people put in to run the Picton Fair. The volunteers are always cheerful and helpful. However, I was at an event last Sunday and someone told me that they arrived at the Picton Fair at 4 p.m. on the final day (Sunday) they were charged full price to get in even though the Fair was closing in an hour at 5 p.m. Really? I couldn't believe it! It got me to thinking about the $8 entrance fee — why couldn't they lower the fee and charge a bit more for the vendors to rent their space instead? That way more people would come in and the vendors would make more money. If you think about it, $8 entrance fee for a family of 4 is $32 (not sure if it costs a lit-

tle less for children, seniors, etc), plus the cost of the rides plus the food - I'm sure it easily works out to about $100 and a lot of families can't afford that. No doubt costs are high for the rides, etc but I've been going to the fair for over 20 years and it seems to me there are less people then there used to be. No doubt the good people who run the fair have looked at all sorts of options but I would respectfully ask them to seriously consider lowering the entrance fee. And certainly not charging full price when there is only an hour left on the last day! I think that family should be re-imbursed! Jeanette Arsenault Prince Edward County

More than 300 people laced up their shoes and headed to Sandbanks Provincial Park Sunday for the 19th Fall Getaway Fun Run and Terry Fox Run.. Organizer Agnese Bortolussi said it was the best turn out ever for the five-kilometre and 10-kilometre runs. She also indicated the event raised over $3,000 for the Friends of Sandbanks and approximately $25, 349 for cancer research. Individual results for the run are available at www.runningbydesign.ca. County residents Parimeeta Shah, Carly Rutter, Michelle Pothier, and Paul Kenny finished first in their age categories.(Submitted photo)

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Society is becoming increasingly multicultural

Your Our Opinion on the latest move by the :Parti Quebecois (PQ) in Quebec raises issues that have not been voiced. Under the guise of religious symbols , the government has a not-so-hidden agenda. The aim of the PQ Slate is to produce a "Pure Laine" people and state. Under this drive people of colour, spiritual stripes different from the status quo are not welcome and every effort will be proclaimed to discourage residency in Quebec. They have barely accepted the Roman Catholic church for the present time since such dismissal will be their down-fall.

The idea of a Pure Laine in Quebec is a myth but the movers and shakers of the PQ are convinced otherwise. In some ways , like Hitler in the 1930s who believed in the Aryan race, some Quebec people do not want anything to contaminate not only their language and appearance, but also their social mores. Little research should convince them that there is no such thing as Pure Wool. Years ago I met many youngster from Eastern Township whose name was obviously Scottish — McDonalds, Sutherlands, Drummonds — come to mind . None of whom

could speak a word of English. These together with many other French Canadians have a heavy dose of First Nations blood . The French Canadians today are no different from the rest of us — we are all increasingly multiracial and multicultural. To defend and proclaim anything resembling Pure Wool is indeed insane. My family history is a case in point. My parents came from a small fishing village in Japan around 1914 to Canada . In less than a hundred years, my grand children have a touch of Scottish , Norwegian, Spanish and Cuban

genes. Their appearance is no longer "pure Japanese" . These , then, are the human race of the 21st Century. They are better genetically , having inherited the goodness of many different races, and their appearance will be the emerging race of people. If somehow we could communicate this message of the emerging reality of the 21st Century, the need for both sides of the divide, but particularly the PQ , will infuse them with a sense of love, compassion and goodness. Ken Koyama Picton

County does not need to spend money on its image

I am curious as to why Council would spend bet. $l0-15,000. on a new logo "to reinforce the County image". This seems ludicrous to me in that the county is well known, much visited and enjoyed by people far and wide. Why keep promoting the county (I understand some associations here get funds annually to do this from tax

funds) - how many people do you want here? Clean industry and new businesses, yes, but urban sprawl, no as I see it. I doubt taxpayers want that! Why change the complexion and flavor of the area into something many have moved here to get away from and that local people are used to? There are enough huge

metropolises within driving distance, so please do not ruin the landscape for the sake of more money. If taxes are too high, perhaps try cutting costs and unnecessary spending, where possible. Prince Edward County is where I grew up and I may be a little biased when I say that it is a unique area and that great care should

be exercised to retain the peace, tranquility and beauty of this unique area. This, as well as the relaxed, friendly atmosphere is something rare nowadays that probably many people long for. Please try to keep it that way. Louise Donahue St. Thomas

New electoral districts would offer better representation

A number of correspondents seem to be more concerned with retaining the existing ward names rather than solving the issue of too many councillors. There is no reason whatever for any of the geographic names now existing to disappear or be changed. They represent physical areas that in the past, elected representatives to separate

municipal districts. At amalgamation, this led to the current make up and size of the council for the county. In my opinion this led councilors concentrating too much on their own very local issues and not enough on the county as a whole. Times have changed and new electoral districts should be introduced to have an approximate equal

number of residents. Taxpayers would be better served if the County had 10 councillors plus the mayor with six wards providing one councilor to represent the ward plus four ‘councillors at large’ (representing the County). The four ‘at large’ councilors would provide a balance to ward councillors who may be inclined to look

after their own local interests at the expense of the rest of the county. We should also consider restricting the number of consecutive terms each councilor can serve which would regularly ensure new faces and ideas onto the council.

LCBO is rumoured to have plans for a new store in Picton. Supposedly it will be located on the existing corner with an expanded property. That is a good idea in my opinion. My concern is that the exterior design must fit Pic-

ton’s heritage image. The new stores that LCBO have recently built are not worthy of that iconic corner. Consider Rossmore, the existing LCBO store cultural concept is preferable to the replacement store nearing completion.

Citizens should not accept another Bank of Montreal type building, nor a chain store look. We should demand a design of The Edward Building calibre which fits with Picton’s heritage image.

My heritage comments regarding facade design concept should also be applied to the new Shoppers Drug Mart if and when it becomes a reality.

Get the dirt on germs and find out how to prevent communicable diseases

Any disease that can be spread from one person to another is considered a communicable or contagious disease. Communicable diseases are illnesses that are caused by germs, which includebacteria, viruses, parasites or fungi. These germs are found in body secretions such as mucus, phlegm, stool or in tiny droplets that are breathed, coughed or sneezed out. The information for this column is from the Public Health Unit’s publication Health Beat, Issue 10, Fall 2013, page 4. Sign up to receive it at www.hpechu.on.ca Germs that cause communicable diseases are spread from person to person in a number of different ways. Some germs are spread through the air like

nose or mouth the germs enter the body. Germs can also be spread through water or food. Ways to minimize the spread of germs: Wash your hands well and often with soap and water or use an alcohol based hand sanitizer. This is the single most important way to help prevent the spread of infections. Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze with a tissue or your elbow, not into your hands. Keep your own and your children's immunizations up-to-date. Don't share eating utensils, lipsticks, drinking cups, etc. Clean and sanitize objects and surfaces (for example: toys, counters, doorknobs, phones) with soap and warm water and/or a disinfectant. If you are sick, don't go to daycare, school, work, stores

Fall is a great time of the year to plant trees and shrubs in the garden

I have a friend who has been awaiting plans from a landscaper for a couple of months and wonders if it is now too late to plant trees and shrubs. Actually it is a great time to plant for a number of reasons. Often there are deals on these plants as the alternative is to winter them over for the nursery. Autumn often has fewer demands on the gardener as well. Then they need care for only a few more weeks. Finally in the spring they will have already begun to establish themselves in their new location. The frost this Tuesday morning should only encourage us to move more quickly. It is always important to look carefully at the overall appearance of trees and shrubs when purchasing them. It is also important to look at their root systems and even more so when they have spent at least one summer in a pot. The tree (or shrub) should be removed from its pot, before purchasing, to ensure that the roots are not so tightly intertwined that they could not be loosened

ASKâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6;Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2C6; MASTER GARDENER

SANDRA GORANSON

enough before planting to allow them to grow outward over time. They should be planted as soon as possible to allow for six weeks or so in the ground before the ground starts to freeze up. Often this does not happen here until late November or early December but this time frame cannot be counted on. As always, do water the tree in its pot daily until planted. Pots filled with roots cannot

retain much water. Begin by choosing a site that can accommodate the final size of this tree or shrub. Trees, because of their eventual growth require careful consideration. Black walnut trees, butternut, hickory and other of their relatives require even more careful planting as their expanding root growth could kill nearby trees and shrubs that are susceptible to juglone poisoning. The planting pit should be up to five times the area of the root ball. Loosen all the soil in this area. Dig the planting hole no deeper than the root ball. The very latest thinking is that with trees the top of the root ball instead if being at soil level should be just a bit above. Either level will work. Ensure that the soil in the

bottom of the pit is firm so that the tree/shrub will not settle after it has been planted. Fill the pit with water and let drain. Once the plant is out of the pot remove any wrapping material, tapes, labels and wire netting to the extent possible. Loosen the roots on the bottom and sides. Once it is in the pit replace the earth firmly around the root ball. Add another bucket of water at this point and when it has been absorbed add additional soil if necessary. .Mulch approximately 10 cm deep (4 in) deep but keep the mulch well away from the bark to prevent disease problems. . Trees do best if they can move freely in the wind. Stake only if absolutely necessary due to top heaviness. This is likely true with any

tree already staked in its pot. The stakes and ties that come with the tree need to be carefully removed. The new supports should be added after the tree is planted at a distance of 20 to 30 centimetres (8 to 12 inches) from the trunk. They can be wood or metal and some growers suggest that they should be angled out from the tree base. The best ties are soft and stretchy whether home made or purchased from a nursery and about five 5 centimetres wide. While holding the trunk, find the lowest point at which the remainder of the trunk can hold itself upright. Attach your top loop about 10 centimetres (4 in) above this point and loosely enough

to allow the tree some movement with out significant slippage of the tie. Attach a second loop about half way between this point and the base of the tree. The ties must be firmly attached to the stakes so that they will not move. Water deciduous trees thoroughly two or threee times a week until the leaves die. With evergreens water them until the night temperatures are consistently below freezing. The new addition or additions to the garden should provide pleasure for years to come. Have a gardening question? Send it to askamastergardener@xplornet.com and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get an answer for you .

Weiland’s recipe hits the spot again as Picton Legion chili champ wins sixth straight Contest helps Branch 78 attract visitors, potential members very familiar with the dish when he first tried his hand at con carne creation six years ago. “It's just fun, but if Tim Hortons hears me I'm open to offers,” Weiland joked after the announcement on Saturday. “I'd never done this before. Six years ago there was a chili festival and I entered and I won it was like 'what?' It's been going on like that ever since.” Weiland said his first experience with chili came

Martin Weiland could hardly believe it when organizers announced he had claimed first place in the mild category at this year's Picton Legion Chili Fest. That's because the Picton resident had already claimed the prize for the past five years. His victory on Saturday made it six years in a row. It was surprising, considering Weiland's own admission that he wasn't

on a trip to Florida. “We were in South Carolina and there's a place call South of the Border and they have chili,” he said. “We were so hungry and we got chili and maybe that's where it started.” Weiland said the chili fest is always great. “It's tops, always. It is so nice,” he said. “I'm disappointed that there's not more people here because it's such a good event.” Weiland's wife Rita said she's normally the cook, but she said she's had no hand in his creations. “I'm very proud of course,” she said. “I'm a good cook and I didn't teach him anything, but by cooking he's developed a good taste.” She said she hasn't attempted to give him any pointers. “One year he just said 'okay, let's try it' and poof,” she laughed. “We're Dutch

before and that is why he really put anything and everything in it.” She stopped short of revealing Weiland's secret ingredient, however. Eight different con carne concoctions faced off in the event, which serves as a fundraiser for the Legion. For a donation of of as little as $3 visitors could get a taste of the main attraction. Little Bluff provided the musical entertainment. Picton Legion entertainment chairman Patsy Williams has organized the event since its creation. She said the event is great for bringing new people in to see what the Legion is all

about. “We encourage the public to participate and get active in the Legion and meet new people,” she said. Williams said none of the Legion's events would be possible without a strong volunteer contingent. She thanked all those who were involved. “The only people who are paid are the bartenders – it's a complete volunteer event,” she said. This year's entries were judged by Al Cole, Debbie Clowaiter, and Holly Thompson. Cole said he was pleased with the quality of all the entries. “They were more on the hot side, but all of them were nice,” he said. Cole said he likes to support the Legion and has been a member for a number of years. He said an event like the chili fest is important because it's a different way to attract potential members and raise some money for the important institution. “The only way (the Legion) will keep going is people being members and donating money,” he said. Winners for the unusual category were: First place, Maureen Charette; second place, Tom Van Hecke. Winners in the mild category were: First place, Martin Weiland; second place, Paula Weir; third place, Kim Peterson; fourth place, Velvet Young. Winners in the hot category were: First place, Ricky Van Ihinger; second place, Shari Chartrand. Williams reminded residents that all Picton Legion events are open to the public and anyone can become a member subject to executive approval. This week is Legion Week and Saturday from 2:30-6:30 Robin Edgar will be performing at the Legion.

County riders finish among top 10 in provincial field Demorestville’s Harper Run Stables is grooming two up-and-coming teen talents in eventing equestrian competition AdAm BrAmBurger

Staff writer

A pair of local riders came back to Sophiasburgh's Harper Run Stables with ribbons from the Ontario Horse Trials Association's junior eventing championships near Collingwood last weekend. Nathalie White rode her horses Xcalibur and Take Me To The Ball to seventh place and fifth place in the junior entry and pre-training competitions respectively, while Katie LaBarge managed to capture a ninth-place finish with Ashton's Harper on the junior entry circuit. Entry and pre-training are the first two levels of competition available on a seven-level scale depending on the experience of the horse in eventing. The championships at the Cedar Run Horse Park cap off a season where the two riders were among hundreds of competitors in Ontario attending various events looking for points to qualify for the event. For each top seven finish, they'd receive points to be in the running at the end. Over the course of the weekend the riders would have to show their proficiency atop their mounts for three disciplines — dressage, a series of prescribed movements within a given time; cross country, a series of jumps over natural objects on a longer course; and show jumping, a technical showcase with obstacles that can be

BAdges of honour Nathalie White, left, on Xcalibur and Katie LaBarge on Ashton’s Harper show off their seventh- and ninth-place ribbons in the junior entry competition at the Ontario Horse Trials Association championships near Collingwood. White also earned a fifth with her horse Take Me To The Ball in junior pre-training.(Submitted photo)

knocked down with penalty points deducted for missing jumps, 0 White started riding two years ago, following the footsteps of her own riding coach Michelle Harper who had also competed in eventing. She said she really likes the cross country portion in particular because of the speed she

can travel and the natural jumps that it offers. "I like the adrenaline rush that I get from it," she said. "I also like that this is a competitive sport, yet you can have a lot of fun and meet so many people doing it." LaBarge, a sixth-year rider who switched from competing in hunter/

jumper shows to eventing this year agreed. "It's a thrill. It's just you and the horse on the course and no one else," she said. White, a PECI student said she was particularly pleased with the year she had, particularly since Xcalibur (known as Chip around the stables), a fouryear-old Gelding, respond-

ed really well to his first year competing in eventing and he showed well come the big competitions. LaBarge, meanwhile, was ecstatic about her work with Ashton's Harper, noting that she only had a couple of months to work with her horse, who had already competed up to the training level.

"It was a getting to know each other year this year," she said. "We had been working really hard this year and our finish showed that hard work had paid off." Through the year, White said riders like herself and LaBarge typically ride their horses four to six times a week and they work in a wide variety of training that encompasses their jumping and their conditioning in order to get their bodies prepared for the rigours of regular shows throughout the summer. They also work with Harper for at least one lesson a week. The riders learned different horses require different techniques to show successfully. White indicated she found it stressful going to the Ontario championships and having everyone's eyes on her and her horses, but said she just found the right mindset to carry on. The weekend typically takes a lot of memory work — riders have the opportunity to walk their courses before taking the horse through them and they must know where to go and when — and some calm nerves to be able to quickly build confidence in their horses to take on new obstacles. She said she was hoping to finish the year with a top 10 finish and very pleased to come home from the championships with a pair of ribbons.

Senior Panthers ready to run as personnel dictates different style of play Roster turnover has Garden looking to use depth, tenacity AdAm BrAmBurger

Staff writer

BAttling it out PECI Senior Panthers Lauren Matthew, left, and Brittany Snyder fight for possession of the ball during practice last Monday.. With playing time up for grabs, internal competition should drive the club this year. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

It's a decidedly different look on the court for the PECI Senior Basketball Panthers this season but coach Rob Garden and his charges are looking at that as a positive thing. The Panthers are smaller than last year's COSSA finalists, but they just might be faster. They lost most of their go-to talent, but they have 11 girls ready and willing to prove themselves. "It's an unknown year this year. The last couple years we've known what we had and we've lost 80 per cent of that offence," Garden said. "I'm excited about it. It's the first time since we've had success that I've had to really

change my coaching philosophy. We're going to go with 11 girls playing all the time." Looking at those 11 girls working out in the gym Monday night, Garden quickly pointed out one of the biggest differences from years past — there wasn't a Courtney Wilson or an Alyssa VanRossum to control the paint defensively or gobble up the post points as in years past. Garden said the Panthers' lone returning fifthyear player, Maggie Dorenberg, will step into that role, but she still gives up some of the size the team boasted in past years. "We'll count on her to score a lot of the points that Courtney and Alyssa used to traditionally get," said

Garden. He added, however, that in past years, Dorenberg used to be more of a pass-first player and thus, it will be an adjustment for her and for many in that department. "We don't have the luxury of having those one or two people we go to," he said. "It's a different mindset. We all have to have a different approach." Returnees like Brittany Snider, Cailey Jones, Melissa Paradis, and Melissa Corbin will be looked upon to share some of the offensive burden. Newcomers Danielle Willis and Hannah Smith also bring valuable experience with the rep Bellevile Spirits to the forefront.

The club pulled out a 3–1 “Our guys showed the around the midroad victory in Clarington on quick-strike offence where season point.’ Thursday before grounding they have the ability to make the Eagles 5–1 on Saturday night at Essroc Arena. Pirates coach and general manager Ryan Woodward said the games against Clarington were fast-paced and featured more of the structured play he'd like to see out of his team in the regular season. “The guys responded well and showed they're shaping into form,” Woodward said. While the Pirates won't see the Eagles in the regular season, Woodward said there's a challenge in facing a not-so-familiar foe. “It's different for the players. Clarington always has a good hockey club and they pride themselves on having guys who work hard,” Woodward said. “(There's value) for our guys, just to play a team and players they wouldn't normally see in the regular season. They gave us a good push and the pace of the game was something you'd see around the midseason point.” Thursday's game was fast and tight-checking and Picton's veteran core lead the way. Brian Bunnett tallied a pair of goals and Levi George added another. “Bunnett was great. That's a place where he grew up playing so I know he had a little extra motivation to put on a good performance,” said Woodward. “Levi was fantastic in that game, he was involved in all three zones, blocking shots in one zone and getting an empty-net goal at the other. That's what we're going to expect from our older guys.” Woodward said the team was moving well. “We were head-manning the puck quick and early, winning races, attacking the offensive zone with speed — the guys played as well as they have in the pre-season,” he said. It was more of the same on Saturday. The Eagles got a chance to take the lead with Nolan Van Vlack taking two minute minor and a game misconduct for checking from behind, but the Pirates penal-

ty killers were able to escape unscathed. The Pirates then got a chance of their own as the Eagles wore a path to the box. Clarington's Ben Grieve took an unsportsmanlike conduct minor at 5:52 of the first, but the Pirates couldn't beat goaltender CJ Sharp. Grieve headed back to the box at 9:00 of the first after taking a minor and a game misconduct for checking from behind. Again the Pirates were unable to score, but some great chances generated momentum and soon after the Pirates had the Eagles hemmed in their zone. At 14:13 of the first Evan Greer collected the puck at the top of the circle and fired a rocket wrist shot up over the blocker of Sharp, off the crossbar and in giving Picton the lead. “Evan really looked like he was starting to feel like his normal self out there. He was

chances count in a hurry,” Woodward said. Bunnett added a goal at 14:13 of the second period to make it 3–0. Greer added a second goal 2:03 into the third and Ryan Sizer added another at 5:53 as the Pirates continued to create offence without giving up many great chances in their own zone. Woodward said it's the product of the 200-foot game the club has been preaching. “If you take care of your own end often the offence will often take care of itself,” he said. “We try to play the game with structure, be defensively responsible and put ourselves in good position.” Clarington's lone goal came off the stick of Mac Merisette at 17:44 of the third. The Pirates open the regular season on the road against the Amherstview Jets this Sunday at 7:30. The Pirates will then face the Jets in their home opener the following Thursday, Sept. 26 at 7:30.

Dukes coach sees bright spots in opening week effort

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2013

Effort impresses Abrams, execution does not in 1-2 regular season start ChAd IBBoTSon

Staff writer

While they were defeated in two out of three games to start their OJHL regular season, the Wellington Dukes see signs for optimism. The season began with a three-game road swing. The Dukes started off on the right note, taking a 4–3 victory over the Kingston Voyageurs on Thursday, but fell 6–2 to the Trenton Golden Hawks on Friday and 2–1 to the Pickering Panthers on Sunday evening. Wellington coach and general manager Marty Abrams said there are positives and negatives to be taken away from each game. Abrams said the players were admirable in their noquit attitude in each contest. “We showed some good resilience and determination. That's the positive side; the guys worked hard every single game right to the final buzzer whether we were winning or losing,” he said. On the negative side, Abrams said the club's special teams left the coaching staff scratching their heads with a drastic turnaround between Thursday's game — where the club went two-forfive with the man advantage — to Friday's contest where they were unable to score in seven opportunities. The futility on the power play carried over into Sunday's game as the club was held off the score sheet in six chances. “Some of the negatives were in the transformation (from) how well we executed our special teams on Thursday night and then on Friday night it was just the direct opposite and then again Sunday in Pickering,” Abrams said. “Our special teams weren't where they were and they aren't where they're going to be. It's just a huge turnaround from Thursday to Friday.” Abrams said the team also put together a lot of chances in Friday and Sunday's games, but weren't able to capitalize. “That's a bit of an issue for me at this point,” he said. The team kicked off Thursday's contest with a pair of power-play goals from Erick Delaurentis and Spencer Turcotte. Turcotte would make it 3–0 with a goal at 17:20 before Kingston's Adam Brady got the run stopped with a power-play marker in the dying seconds of the opening frame. Jarret Kup's power-play goal at 7:22 of the second brought the Voyageurs within a goal. It was the only scoring in the period and set up a crucial final 20 minutes. Just 18 seconds into the third Steven Deeg scored to give the Dukes some breathing space. Mason Nowak scored with less than four minutes left, but Wellington held on. Goaltender Lucas Machalski recorded 40 saves in the victory. The Dukes faced seven straight minor penalties over the last 36 minutes of the game, surrendering only one power-play goal. While they didn't get the two points in Friday's game, Wellington out-shot the

MARTY ABRAMS

Golden Hawks 54–35 in the 6–2 loss. Danny Liscio put Trenton ahead at 6:34 of the first to open the game. The Dukes were creating opportunities though, and it paid off late in the period. At 16:26 Joe McKeown scored to tie things up and less than two minutes later Deeg gave Wellington the lead. The Dukes continued to throw pucks on net and they appeared to have increased their lead, but the goal was called back. “We seemed to have everything going our way and then we had a goal called back and we kind of fell apart after that, took some bad penalties,” Abrams said. “Discipline has played a bit of a factor in the weekend, just some untimely penalties.” At 7:05 of the second period Zach de Concilys tied things up and under two minutes later Andrew McCann gave Trenton their second lead of the game. This time they wouldn't give it up. Nick Santoro, Liscio, and McCann (empty net) added goals in the third to pad the lead to 6–2. Wellington goalie Adam Wood surrendered five goals on 34 shots while Golden Hawks netminder Denny Dubblestyne made 52 saves on 54 shots. “I thought we carried the play on Friday, but we couldn't capitalize,” Abrams said. The Dukes were again creating chances on Sunday — outshooting the Pickering Panthers 34–24 — but again had a tough time finding the back of the net. Following a scoreless first period Pickering's Brodie Tutton broke the deadlock with a power-play goal at 3:38 of the middle frame. Midway through the period Mike Soucier evened the score for the Dukes, but either team could pull away. Just over five minutes into the third Michael Walker scored with the man advantage and the Panthers held on to defeat Wellington 2–1. Abrams said the frustration was evident. “As the period went on you could see them gripping the stick a little tighter and getting a little more nervous around the net,” he said. “The Dukes will host the Georgetown Raiders in their home opener Friday night at 7:30. Abrams said it will offer Dukes fans a chance to see another of the leagues premier teams. “The fans are in for a big treat, we haven't seen (Georgetown) in our rink for a few years,” he said. “… They're one of the league's elite teams, (they have) a great program and it's going to be a fantastic home opener.”

MEMORIAMS

BENTON, Burns. In memory of a loving husband and father, who left us on September 20, 1995. Our hearts are full of memories, We share them with care, The way you had to leave us, Will always seem unfair. Time may hide the sadness, Like a smile that hides the tears, But love and memories hold you close, Despite the passing years. One thing we have to tell you, Of which we have no doubt, You will always be loved and remembered, But so hard to live without. Love Joan and John BROWN, Tim. In memory of a much loved husband and daddy, Tim Brown, who passed away one year ago on September 17, 2012. We once had something special that money could not buy. We had Tim's very special love and we had to say goodbye. Our memories and photos are all we have to touch, Of a very special man that we love and miss so much. And when we're feeling lonely and tears fill our eyes, We think of you at peace and we know we shouldn't cry. Because memories are treasures no one can steal. Death is a heartache no one can heal. Life must go on we know it's true, But it's just not the same since we lost you. Today, tomorrow, our whole lives through, We will always love and remember you. Lots of love from your wife, Teresa and your son, Drake. DeROCHE, Johan. September 25, 2008. I think of you in silence, And often speak your name, All I have is memories, And our picture in a frame. It's been 5 years And you are always in my heart. Love your special friend, Janet May FRANKLIN, Ernie. Passed away on September 10, 1997. Missed and remembered. Bill and Mame

Edith Roblin

June 9, 1925 - September 21, 2011 As time unfolds another year, Memories keep you ever near, Silent thoughts of times together Hold memories that will last forever. Love Kelly, Chris, Kreg, Ashton, Sarah, Natasha, Amanda, Phillip, Connor, Jazlyn and Jaxon.

MEMORIAM

BENTON, Burns. In loving memory of a dear brother and uncle who passed away September 20, 1995. Quietly remembered every day, Never more than a thought away, No need for words except to say, Still loved, still missed, everyday. Always remembered and loved by Bryce, Mary, Robin, Dagney and Lynsey.

Edith Roblin

September 21, 2011 In loving memory of our mother Edith who passed away two years ago… Do not stand at my grave and weep; I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning hush; I am the swift uplifting rush of birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at may grave and cry; I am not there, I did not die. 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.

"They're skilled and they bring the right attitude," said Garden. "It will take a bit of time to adapt to a new role for them." Strategically, Garden said speed and tenacity will be a key factor. Guards like Willis, Paradis, and Michaela Jackson, a shifty transfer from Napanee should figure prominently as the Panthers transform themselves into a team that scores off the rush. "We'll look to press as much as we possibly can," Garden said. "We're going to transition quickly. We have three or four guards who are speedy and we want to cause havoc all the time and open up our offence off of turnovers." That relentless style will require a fair measure of depth and conditioning. The Panthers play three

accepted the changes with enthusiasm. "It's a lot different because I'm used to having the same people around â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but I like that this group is different," said Dorenberg. "They're really feisty and we're all pretty even I'd say." She added she's excited to develop more and be put into different situations. Paradis said she believes the team will make up for its lack of height and its loss of experience with a hard work ethic, especially on defence. She, too, looks forward to the possibilities. "It gives everyone a chance. Now, each of us gets to show what she really has to offer," she said. "That pushes everyone to come to practice and work harder." As far as expectations go, Dorenberg and Paradis shared the opinion that if the commitment to work is there, the Panthers could have a lot of success. Dorenberg said the goal is to get back to COSSA again and Paradis didn't scoff at that talk. "It may be a little early to tell, but I think it will be a great year," she said. Garden said this year the Bay of Quinte league will return to a balanced schedule as opposed to tiered play as each team has a ninegame schedule with one game against each opponent. "There'll be a big group there from three to eight that will be really close. St. Theresa and Moira have a lot of Spirits players and they'll be tough," he said. "I'm confident we can play with any team in the league." Under the boards: The Panthers were thrilled to learn graduate Erin O'Brien earned a spot with the Humber College Hawks. The freshman guard was told she made the team due to her commitment to defence and tenacious playâ&#x20AC;ŚAnother Panther alum, Paige Smith, also had some exciting news on the court as she was named captain of the Seneca College Sting.

Riders hope to take on higher levels

TRIALS, from page 22

White indicated she will try to compete at more advanced levels with her horses next year and keep working toward her dream of competing at the sport's highest levels, one fostered through her lifelong love of horses and a habit of riding since she was 6. She is also hoping to increase her sponsorship moving forward as all told, a year of competitive eventing can cost upwards of $16,000. White already has businesses like the Acoustic Grill, Scotiabank, and realtor Elizabeth Crombie on board but the more attention she earns the easier it will be to compete through her teenage years. LaBarge recently moved to the county from New York state this year in an effort to be closer to another horse she had been riding which was boarded here. The Nicholson student indicated she's hoping to continue working with Ashton's Harper and hopes to climb through several levels with him.

Paramedics cycling to help families of impacted brethren 50 riding through county to help in aftermath of job-related injury, death JasOn ParKs

Staff writEr

A four-day, Toronto-toOttawa bicycle tour will make its way through Prince Edward County Saturday, Sept. 21. The Canadian Paramedic Memorial Ride is organized by the Canadian Paramedic Memorial Foundation and is raising funds in support the Canadian Paramedic Benevolent Society's goal for a National Canadian Paramedic Memorial Monument. The Canadian Paramedic Benevolent Society honours the memory of Canada's military and civilian paramedics, providing financial assistance to the families of Canadian medics killed or grievously injured in the line of duty. Over 30 paramedics have been killed while working since the mid 1980s including the recent Air ORNGE tragedy in Northern Ontario earlier this year. Four local Hastings Quinte EMS paramedics are part of a 50-rider entourage while a trio of supporters will join second leg of the tour which starts in Port Hope and finished in Kingston next weekend. Efram Ellenbogen, Paul Osborn, Chris Anderson and Mike Foley are all taking part in the four day affair and Foley said that local efforts to support and its cause to raise funds for a memorial that will be in Ottawa are gaining momentum. “The Hastings-Quinte EMS Service will be providing lunch for the riders on

day two as well as a support vehicle and the Hastings-Quinte EMS Association is presenting a donation that day to support the memorial,” he explained. Riders on the tour will swing through Consecon for a rest stop, then the tour will then make its way to the Prince Edward Community Centre where a lunch will be served to riders from 2:30-3:30 p.m. The ride will be an emotional affair for all the paramedics including Osborn who has a personal connection to the recent Air ORNGE tragedy. “In addition to being an Hastings Quinte EMS Paul is also an Air ORNGE employee and he was stationed in Moosonee before coming here. That was his aircraft that crashed in May,” Foley explained. “It will be emotional for all of us but especially Paul.” Foley is hopeful the tour will raise awareness and funds as it works its way through the county.

The Wellington Lions Club has stepped forward to lead efforts to restore a landmark within the village. In January, winds and snow from winter storm knocked a heavy tree limb onto the gazebo in the park next to Lake Ontario. Under the weight, the roof ultimately collapsed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The County inspected it and decided it was just unsafe,â&#x20AC;? said Lions vicepresident Art Hewer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Around June, they took the whole thing down.â&#x20AC;? At that time, a committee including representatives from Wellingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recreation committee and downtown business association decided that something should be done. Hewer recalled that two town hall meetings were held and community mem-

several differences in what is built in the park. The first thing people might notice is that while the last gazebo was raised several feet off the ground, the stage in this one will be just a foot higher than the grass growing around it. With that height, the old structure also had a railing around the edges of it. That, too, will not be recreated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see through that railing and with the height you would always have to look up if there was entertainment,â&#x20AC;? Hewer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The sight lines will be greatly improved.â&#x20AC;? The structure will feature an open design with eight pillars supporting the roof above a concrete pad.

ence for musical performances, muffling the sound behind the gazebo for nearby residences, and providing better staging for theatrical performances. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will be a door in the back to provide them an entrance and exit,â&#x20AC;? he said. The Lions learned of the plans to rebuild the gazebo as they happened to be looking for a major project to take on for their 40th year next year. They decided to put their efforts into making the $50-55,000 structure a reality. With the County offering to match up to $25,000 to rebuild, the Lions are looking to raise the bulk of the fundraising. Recently, they received a big boost from a generous donor. At the first event Sept. 6, a DVD repeat of the live stage production â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wellington Thru The Agesâ&#x20AC;? at the villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 150th anniversary celebration this summer, Gordon Sirot came forward to give a $6,600 cheque in memory of his late wife Connie, who had been a community booster up until her death in December. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That really got us going,â&#x20AC;? said Hewer, who indicated the club has now raised more than $8,500 thanks to Sirotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cheque. Hewer said though this fallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pumpkinfest was the date many hoped the project would be complete, it likely will be done before Canada Day next year. At the annual fall festival, the Lions will have a table to raise money. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also be installing a miniature gazbo on an anchor in the park to collect donations throughout the week for the project. Hewer said that structure would be checked and emptied often to reduce the risk of vandalism and theft. The club plans several events over the winter months, including monthly movie nights with a freewill donation to the project. A campaign to reach out to businesses and individual donors for gifts of $100 or more is also being considered with signage on the new gazebo recognizing each cocnntribution. Pieces of the old gazebo will have been saved and are expected to be used in the making of that signage. Also this year at Pumpkinfest, Hewer said the community will be unveiling a time capsule that was placed below the gazebo, likely in the early 1990s As part of the rebuilding project, he added there will be a contest to see what residents would like to put in a new time capsule to be placed in the structure and opened in 2064. Maybe weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll put in a cell phone. Who knows if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have them then,â&#x20AC;? he said.

County artists prepare for heavy traffic on 20th studio tour weekend Grassroots effort to gain publicity for new artists in region has grown into major event attracting thousands AdAmBrAmBurger

Staff writer

Mark Armstrong has been busy in his Wellington studio working over a flame to have his latest glass inventions ready for the Prince Edward County Studio Tour this weekend. Though it barely feels like it to him, Armstrong will open his doors for a 20th year to welcome in tour visitors this weekend. He is the only remaining artist from the original tour. Armstrong recalled potter Peta Hall being a driving force for the first tour, then seen as a good way to introduce many of the artists who had recently landed in the county to their new neighbours. He had been here a year and was eager to get involved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It started out as an exciting thing to do and a great way to s how what us artists from outside the county were all about,â&#x20AC;? he said. Then, it was mostly a grassroots effort with many of the artists working together to screen their own signs advertising the event. Now, it is a big business with 23 studios, more than 40 artists, and many volunteers who would not call themselves artists. In that time, Armstrong has seen the number of studios ebb and flow and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seen the concentration of the

10 years since he regularly made that item last. The glass blower said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking forward to the weekend rain or shine and said people still seem to turn up regardless of the weather. Some of his best days, he said, were rainy, but some of the other good ones were beautiful for fall. Armstrong said another benefit of being involved in the tour has been the promotion of all the studios through a colourful brochure. Even if not for the weekend â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an event that can bring 500-600 people a day â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he said it has been worth the investment to

drive traffic all year. Tour chair Wendy Matthews says in any given year, the event can bring between 2,500 to 3,000 visitors with a fairly even split between local people and those traveling to see artists like Armstrong work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of bed and breakfasts and restaurants are full for the studio tour weekend,â&#x20AC;? she said. Matthews said she believes the fact that artists are demonstrating through much of the weekend is appealing to guests. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to see them in their own environment and you can ask them questions,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very special experience.â&#x20AC;? Matthews also indicated that unlike some other tours, the Prince Edward one has a range of experiences from visiting countryside tours by car to getting out and walking the streets of Bloomfield

or Wellington. It truly has become a fullcounty experience, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is less in the north this year, but we go from Carrying Place to Mad Dog and from Glenora Road and Lake on the Mountain to Huyckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Point,â&#x20AC;? she said. Matthews said the tour had included as many as 35 stops in the past, but organizers found the current numbers more manageable, allowing visitors to feel like they could access a greater number of studios. Like Armstrong did 20 years ago, there are new county artists looking to use the juried tour as a launching pad also. Oil painter Stewart Jones will open his Wellington studio â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a historic building from the 1860s â&#x20AC;&#x201D; this weekend and potter David Scott, who searched across Canada after relocating from Tasmania will be open in Bloomfield also.

Prior to joining the tour, both had to receive a visit from jurors who studied not only their art, but also their studio space to see if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d fit in with the group. Beyond that, Matthews said many popular studios will be back again this year, some featuring artists and guest artists who have been on and off the tour for many of the past 19 years. Matthews also encouraged visitors to remember to put in ballots for a gift basket draw to win works donated by all the artists on the tour with a collective value of over $1,000. Ballots are available at each of the studios and at the Waring House, which again serves as a welcome and information centre for visitors. The studios are open tomorrow to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For a map and list of participating artists, see www.pecstudiotour.com.

tour move from Bloomfield to Wellington and ultimately to all parts of the county. For Armstrong, it has been a valuable event to be involved with and he said in some years, the weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s traffic alone has accounted for between 15-20 per cent of his yearly retail sales. He said it does help with some sales to invite people in to see him work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What it does is it gives people more education about what I do and how I do it,â&#x20AC;? he said. Perhaps they gain more of an understanding of why the costs are what they are. Maybe there's more of a willingness to purchase.â&#x20AC;? Recently, Armstrong said people have shown a desire to buy the items they have watched him work on as the tour allowed him to give them a step-by-step commentary of what he was doing while blowing and shaping the glass. Since itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the end of the season, Armstrong said he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put a lot of new items out for the tour, but there are always a few. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love to have new stuff and I try to. Even if it is one or two things to get feedback from people. Maybe it's a just a new colour or style even.,â&#x20AC;?he said. This year, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have some perfume bottles at his studio because people have been asking about them. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been

Organizers hope High Valley show can bring new demographic to Taste Back 40 Bash country concert one of several add-ons Taste The County has designed to expand fall harvest celebration Jason Parks

Staff writer

For the past decade, the annual Fall Taste the County celebration Taste Community Grown event has been a 'roll-out-the-red-carpet' affair to lovers of all things Prince Edward County. A proverbial red carpet stretches into Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal and attracts all who have or want to discover this island paradise. But what about those that have never felt a want or need to leave Prince Edward County? The Back 40 Bash September 28th is a community

celebration concert that organizers hope draws everyone. And they mean everyone. Brought to the Prince Edward County fairgrounds by the The Great Waterway and presented by Cool 100, the Back 40 Bash is a county kind of party. An all-ages, licensed event headlined by Juno Award nominees High Valley, Taste the County event Coordinator Amy Wager Mayhew said the Back 40 Bash is a way to enhance the Taste Community Grown event and add a program to the weekend with wide appeal.

“The whole reason to do something different on the Saturday night was to bring in the entire community together for an inclusive event,” Wager Mayhew explained. Historically, the Taste celebration was a one day event at the Crystal Palace, however, it's evolution has led to Taste Community Grown, a full weekend of events. “We had to find a way to enhance the event by adding programming that appeals to so many different people,” she said.

a. WaGEr MaYHEW OrGaNiZer Kiwanis Colour Cribbage Ride are examples of enhanced and expanded programming. But the Back 40 Bash is shaping up to be the best County party in years. The highly talented group High Valley will be bringing their new country style to the fairgrounds and Wager Mayhew said the promotional organization was “over the moon” when

they secured a deal with the Canadian country music group. “When we started this process, I really didn't know the name but if you listen to Cool 100 at all, you will recognize their music right away. Once I started listening more and more to them, I realized this is the perfect group to bring into an event like this. They are family friendly and it is going to be great time,” she added." “Have I Told You I Love You Lately”, “A Father's Love” (The Only Way He Knew How), “On the Combine” and their current smash hit “Love You for a Long Time” are just a few toe tappers High Valley have been wowing crowds with in the past year. With such a great following of dedicated fans, the group was lauded at the recent Canadian Country

Music Awards with a CCMA Interactive Artist of the Year award. Wager Mayhew said organizing a major concert event alongside the usual Taste Community Grown event has been “trying” at times but she is happy with the efforts so far and sees the Back 40 Bash increasing in popularity year after year. “Our intention is to create a program that everyone — locals, visitors, everybody — looks forward to every single year and becomes an annual party that can be enjoyed by everyone. And at $25 per ticket, the event is extremely affordable. “We want whole families and groups of friends to come, celebrate the end of the growing season and have a great time with their neighbours,” she said. Tickets are available at local Remax offices and online at www.tastecommunitygrown.com. To attract more local people to the Back 40 Bash, Taste The County has arranged for busing serviecs from Wellington and Waupoos. The bus from Wellington will depart from the Wellington and District Community Centre, while the Waupoos bus will leave and depart from the North Marysburgh Community Hall. Both buses will leave at 6:30 p.m. and make their return trips from the Back 40 Bash at 11:15 p.m. Spaces on the buses are $5 per person and they can be booked by calling 613-393 -2796 or emailing amy@tastethecounty.ca.

Leading South Marysburgh citizens recognized Saturday

FAIR, from page 1

Smith said the community is fortunate to have so many volunteers willing to give their time to put on the fair. South Marysburgh councillor Barbara Proctor congratulated the fair board and all the volunteers on another great job. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I'm proud to be a resident of South Marysburgh and I'm very proud of this fair,â&#x20AC;? she said. Mertens joked that it never rains in Milford, taking note of another beautiful day for the fair. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That's a credit to the Milford Fair Board â&#x20AC;&#x201C;

As has been tradition at the fair for 25 years, several residents were awarded with Murray Clapp Memorial Citizenship Awards. This year's recipients were Diane Walker, Brenda Bond, Alex Ingram, Gary Wilson, Sam Lanfranco, Joyce Minaker, and Leona Head. In lieu of a baby show the fair board handed out medals to some young citizens. These â&#x20AC;&#x153;future fair board volunteersâ&#x20AC;? were Sebastian, Isabel, Olivia, Elliot, and Liam.

Bylaw must be enacted by Oct. 22 to impact election STRUCTURE, from page 1

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The current 10 electoral wards cannot accommodate the reduction of councillors and provide equal and fair representation by population, which was the subject of the Ontario Municipal Board challenge,â&#x20AC;? the report says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Electoral boundaries are created for election purposes only, and when new boundaries are created, they are to be created with due diligence to ensure that each new elec-

toral ward is represented with minimal variance by population in each ward created.â&#x20AC;? Council is slated to consider the Citizens' Assembly's recommendation at their Sept. 24 regular council meeting. Mertens' report says if council adopts the recommendation to reduce the size of council then a decision will be required on electoral ward boundaries. However, the report says new electoral ward bound-

aries will not impact the historic wards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If new electoral wards are created, the current 10 wards would remain as historic municipal jurisdictions,â&#x20AC;? the report says, noting a council motion from last year which says as much. The report then sets out a potential schedule for public consultation and a timeline which would allow any changes to come into effect before the next election. If council eventually approves the assembly recommenda-

tion and passes a bylaw to enact the new electoral ward boundaries, the bylaw can then be appealed for a period of 45 days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A bylaw to enact new ward boundaries for the 2014 election bylaw must be in force and the 45-day appeal period must have lapsed with no appeals to be able to implement changes for the 2014 election,â&#x20AC;? the report says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Therefore, the bylaw must be adopted by Oct. 22, 2013.â&#x20AC;?
