Main Street mainstay prepares to close its doors
thiS week
Stedmans owner says economy, competition led to decision adam BramBurger
Staff writer
For well over a century, there has been a department store located at 259 Main Street in Picton. It appears that as early as the end of next month, that may not be the case any more. Rick Grant, the owner of the business, which has operated under the Stedmans V+S Department Store moniker since the 1960s, confirmed the store will close its doors following an inventory clearance sale already underway. Grant said recent offers on the property led him to consider the business case for Stedmans and, ultimately, he couldn't justify its operations. "A couple things happened in the last year that made me realize this isn't the direction to go," he said. "This is a business model that isn't working, so let's do something else." Grant said among the reasons for his decision include sluggish economic performance in the past year, a more competitive downtown market, and the impact of big-box stores. "If most people were honest, they would say it has been a slow year with a slow winter and the heat was so hot in July, there just wasn't many people on the sidewalk shopping," he

said. Like many Picton retailers, Grant said he made a lot of money in the summer from tourists, but lost money in the winter. Now, he says, more people in the
downtown are crossing over into markets Stedmans traditionally dealt in, like housewares, and everyone is trying to get in on the lucrative market for summer goods — and
that's if the shoppers visit Picton shops at all. "By far our biggest competition is Walmart in Belleville," he said. "We hear people coming in and comparing prices to Wal-
mart. We just can't compete. We're a little private company and I don't think that people realize that." Grant said the Stedmans brand also had both positive and negative aspects. Originally named V+S for values and savings, many felt Stedmans was more of a "five-and-dime" type of shop with dollar store-type merchandise. While that was great nostalgia for some tourists, it wasn't a place many locals were shopping unless they couldn't find items somewhere else. Also, with an increase in the cost of plastics due to higher oil prices — an almost-immediate 30-percent spike — Grant said he tried to get out of that market to move to more higherend lines, much like the format Winners uses to be successful. Local residents didn't warm to the idea quickly, prompting Grant to say "It's like buying Prada at K-Mart, people just don't want to do it." Adding to the trouble, people compared the prices with lower-quality items they expected from discount merchandisers. Local shoppers also didn't offer a warm welcome to moves in the past three years to widen the aisles to allow for better accessibility in the store, to close the basement to reduce shoplifting, and to remove some of the dead stock on the floor, which had been there for about 20 years when Grant bought the store.

Secondary school students in the Quinte region including students at PECI were showing support of their teachers in the wake of Bill 115 on Monday morning. Just over 100 Prince Edward County secondary students joined the actions of students at Quinte Secondary, Centennial and Trenton High School, leaving class shortly after 8:30 a.m. And not returning to their studies until after their lunch hour.

serves as a heavy handed slap in the face of public educators by freezing their wages and eliminating their ability to bargain collectively. Bennett told media just minutes before students started to trickle out on to PECI's front lawn Monday that the walkout was about students sending a message of support to their teachers. “I really think this shows our support for the teachers of PECI and even though we don't like our extracurricular activities and sports being taken away, it shows we support them,” she said.

PROTEST, from page 1
Elimination of sports and extracurricular activities is taking place on a school-by-school basis. At the urging of Teacher's Unions, members have been asked to stop offering volunteer hours outside the standard working day. In the public board catchement area, some after school sports teams and events have been canceled while others have been maintained. This means students have wound up in the crosshairs in a very public fight between teachers and the province however Bennett said her goal wasn't to raise awareness about what the students were losing in the short term. “People don't understand that this issue is not about money and people aren't here to protest the loss of sports or extracurricular activities. It's about teachers having their rights taken away to collectively bargain and strike if this government is doing that to teachers, what's to stop them from doing that to others later? Right now we might find sports is important to us

but someday we are going to be adults and maybe our jobs will be at stake,” she said. Bennett said she read about potential belt tightening legislation aimed at teachers this summer and studied of the issues. When she learned similar actions were taking place at other schools across Ontario, she felt she had to find a way to support local educators. “I did this myself, I didn't have any input from teachers on this and the students here agree with the issues that have been raised,” she added. The Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board was not caught unaware Monday morning. Board spokesperson Kerry Donnell said senior staff had a sense a walkout was going to happen as the student-generated idea became popular through social media . “It was not a total surprise to the board as this has been happening across the province and it happened in several Toronto secondary schools last week.” Expected but not necessarily condoned. “As far as we are concerned, Monday was a regular school day and students were expected to be in class,” Donnell explained.”As for what discipline will be meted out, each school has a consistent process for students being absent from class, so those processes will be followed.” While it is tense times around local public schools thanks to Bill 115, Donnell said the board was trying to operate as business as usual. “ In terms of extracurricular activities, individual staff members are making individual decisions. It's a difficult time for everyone,” she said.

Models become more obsession than hobby for many train show exhibitors Picton club hosts realistic displays from across southeastern Ontario Chad Ibbotson
Staff writer
There was nothing small about the dedication on display at the Picton Model Railroaders’ 24th annual train show over the weekend. Thousands of hours worth of work was clearly visible to everyone who visited the show, which took place Saturday and Sunday at the Prince Edward Curling Club. Frank Sharpe helped organize the show. He said models are a great hobby, whether it be trains, planes or boats. “Maybe the kid never grows up,� he joked, while explaining the popularity of models. “You just have it when you're younger and when you retire it's a hobby.� Sharpe said the show generally attracts about 1,000 visitors and is often helped by having the Prince Edward County Fall Antique Show next door. “We kind of work together with the antique show, some go there some come here and vice versa,� he said. This year's show saw 19 vendors and 17 displays set up shop inside the curling club building. Sharpe said those come from across the region including Brighton, Belleville and Port Hope, as well as from Picton. “They come from a distance and we change every

year a little bit so we have different displays,� he said. “Some will say it's the same thing every year, but it's not. You could come four or five different times in a weekend and see something different every time, you wouldn't see it all.� For Sharpe, the draw to model trains started when he was younger. “I couldn't afford it when I was a kid and my parents couldn't buy me the stuff. My wife bought me my first train set and that was (the start of) a disease because now I've got all kinds of them,� he laughed. “It just grows on you.� With so many miniature trains, boats and cars around, the kids in attendance seemed to particularly enjoy the show. Sharpe said it was rewarding to see people appreciate the work that went into, and goes into the displays each year. “Today most of them are around computers and they're not into this kind of thing. It's expensive, but so are computers,� he said. While he said the show doesn't attract many teenagers he knows if a kid shows up one year, others will follow the next. A member of the Picton Model Railroaders, Sharpe said the club is always looking for new members. “We usually pick up two

or three after every show,� he said. “Some of our members are getting up into their 80s.� Jamie Stever attended the show with his family. He said the show offered something for the young ones as well as their parents. “It's nice the effort people put into this kind of thing,� he said. He said the scope of work put into the models is surprising. Albert Lambert knows how much work that can be. A member of the Quinte Model Shipwrights, Lambert said he built one model
of a police boat, which can take months to construct, only to find out it would not stay afloat. He then constructed what he calls his “interpretation� of the same ship. “It's become less of a hobby and more of an ob-
session,� Lambert said. Lambert said there is always a drive to put more and more authenticity into the models. He said he started 10 years ago. “I wanted to do model airplanes, but it was too expensive, plus I wouldn't

know how to fly one even though I was in the RAF,� he laughed. “I live in Trenton so we've got lots of water and that's where I go.� He said the show offered a chance of model builders to show off their creations. Also with the Quinte Model Shipwrights, John McKerracher said there are numerous reasons he got into model building. He said it's a history-related hobby that requires research, knowledge of electronics and woodworking. While some models are built from a kit, others are made from scratch. “We like to show them here at the show for two reasons: One we get to test stuff in nice environment and see that it works. The second thing is it helps us recruit new people to the club,� said McKerracher. He said some models can be fun and silly, while others can be taken very seriously, with exact measurements. “Our hope is that children will find it interesting and want to do it. There are all sorts of skills here,� he said.

pipes in the distance spurred whispers that the start was near. Milford Fair board president Valencia Logan said the parade really seems to put residents in a “fair mood.” “There's a lot of anticipation, you see people start to gather along the side of the road and it partners really well with the rest of the fair,” she said. “It just gets people in the fair mood.” She said making the parade big is something the fair board strives for. This year the theme of the fair was the county's libraries, something Logan said brought a lot of fun to the parade. “One of the things that really made it this year is the involvement and creative energy that the library brought. They just had so many neat things part of the parade,” she said. “I guess that would be another favourite part of the fair for me, was being able to spotlight the libraries and archives. The library is such a vital part of our community.” Overall, she said the fair seemed to be a hit this year. “People enjoyed it so much. There was activity right from start to finish — there's lots to do,” she said. South Marysburgh councillor Barbara Proctor agreed.

“The attendance keeps going up year after year after year,” she said. “The Milford Fair Board does a great job every year of planning and organizing the fair.” Proctor said the event doesn't just draw from South Marysburgh. She said she noticed people from Picton and other places. “The news is travelling far and wide that it's a really nice, country fall fair,” she said. “The kids have so much fun … it's just a very relaxing
and fun day.” Planning for the fair begins almost immediately following the event each year, Logan said. “It does take quite a few months of planning,” she said. “What we do each year after the fair is evaluate how the fair went, we try to find if there are any suggestions to improve it and then we take those lessons learned to the next fair and try to make it even better.” Logan said the success of the fair comes because of the hard work of so many volunteers who get involved. She said it's not just those with titles on the fair board who make it happen. “Obviously you have the people who have the titles, but that isn't a true reflection of all the different people that make that fair so successful,” she said. “South Marysburgh just really takes ownership of their fair, they really, really treasure having Milford Fair.” Logan said the fair board tries to continually foster that support by making sure residents are informed about what's happening with the fair. She said the board asks for ideas and input and welcomes anyone who wishes to sit in on fair board meetings. “We always post the dates and tell people that they are very welcome to come to any meetings they would like to,” she said.

South Marysburgh school now on the market The former South Marysburgh Central School building and surrounding grounds in Milford will be open on Tuesday to potential buyers as the property is hitting the open market. The building housing primary students in the county’s first consolidated school was declared surplus to the Hastings Prince Edward District School Board's needs this past year after the learning facility was shuttered at the end of the
2010-2011 school year. Elementary students in the south end of Prince Edward County now attend the newly renovated Athol-South Marysburgh Public School in Cherry Valley. Originally built in 1959 with additions made to the existing building in 1966 and 1978, the school building is 10,600 square feet in size and sits on eight acres of land. The sale of the building is being handled by Jamie Troke
of Coldwell Banker Ekort Reality. Troke is also listing two other HPEDSB surplus properties in Bancroft (Bancroft Public School) and Belleville (Sir Mackenzie Bowell) The site inspection is being offered on Tuesday from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Offers on the property will be received until 12 p.m. Oct. 5..
Honouring contributions Residents Annette Keogh, Barb Guernsey, Janet Murphy and Valerie Jackson were among the six county residents who were honoured with Murray Clapp Memorial Citizenship Awards on Saturday. (Chad Ibbotson/Gazette staff)

While residents showed their support for the fair, the fair also provided a platform to celebrate and show support for community members. Longtime resident Floral Minaker was recognized after celebrating her 100th birthday this year. Logan said honouring Minaker was a highlight for her. “We were able to get her in the parade,” she said. “We were able to celebrate that she is probably one of our oldest residents.” Also, six residents were honoured with Murray Clapp Memorial Citizenship Awards. Tim Noxon was honoured as a longtime firefighter and first responder; Valerie Jackson for contributions as a community volunteer with the fair board,

PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY
Looking back in the
Picton Gazette 80 years ago — 1932
■ On the third day of an operation, police executed a warrant to confiscate a still from a West Lake Road property, where it was discovered liquor was being produced contrary to the Excise Act and the Liquor Control Act. Suspects Curtis Selman and Jesse Burns were charged with possession of the equipment and mash for making liquor. Both pled guilty and faced fines of $100 and a term of three months incarceration for their actions. ■ There wouldn’t be much choice for those wishing to purchase canned corn from the 1932 Prince Edward County crop. The Kinney factory was the only local company processing corn that year. ■ Acee Bros. of Clark’s Mills, N.Y. bought 15 head of purebred Holstein cattle from eight different farms in the county as part of a large effort to buy Canadian cattle.
50 years ago — 1962
■ Members of the Prince Edward County Farmers Union met with MP Douglas Alkenbrack in Allisonville to share their stance on issues. Among the requests was a unanimous stance Canada’s flag not be changed as Canadians had lived and fought under the flag for nearly a century. ■ Despite a bylaw to allow fluoridated water coming into effect at the end of July, Picton residents were not yet drinking a different product. Utilities commission chair Jack Ward said the commission could not proceed with the change until funds were available to purchase the necessary pieces of fluoridation equipment. ■ County farmers expressed concern over an influx of small-game hunters active in Ameliasburgh before the winter, while cows were still at pasture. The OPP reported it had confiscated rifles from some of the men and that trespassing charges would be laid in some instances.
30 years ago — 1982
■ Picton merchants were trying to come up with a solution to rid the downtown of a number of pigeons whose droppings ruined signage and made a mess of sidewalks. Previously, the BIA attempted to trap and remove the birds, but that effort ultimately failed to solve the problem. Merchants made a number of suggestions ranging from using shotguns and poison to bringing in falcons, owls, or rubber snakes. ■ The triplets born seven weeks prematurely to a York Street couple were reportedly doing well upon their return to the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital after a short stay in hospital in Kingston. All three weighed less than four pounds nearly a month after birth. ■ The former Quaker meeting house in Wellington was to be designated as a historic building under the Ontario Heritage Act. The structure had been serving as Wellington’s community museum.
10 years ago — 2002
■ Prince Edward County council declined to pass a bylaw banning smoking in public places following a lengthy debate and presentations by 13 deputations. Many councillors said they did not have enough feedback from residents to go forward with the bylaw at that time. ■ In one day, a law enforcement team seized and destroyed 497 marijuana plants in the county. The team used helicopter surveillance to find the crops.

Ants milking cows and other neat stuff
Everyone must surely remember their first introduction to biology in the elementary grades. I think it was purposely chosen so we would remember, so fascinating was the content. I know I did. The story was about the ladybug, and for reasons unclear to me, it suddenly came back to me when a an email came in with a query about introduced ladybugs and native ladybugs. That was not a lesson we had to learn in our school as ladybugs were ladybugs, and easily recognized. Invasive Asian ladybugs did not come into play as they were not an issue back then. However, the ladybug story we learned was no less interesting. It was about how their favourite food was aphids, but it also included ants as another player in the story, and how they would stroke the aphids to release what we were told was a substance known as “honeydew.” Ladybugs ate honeydew, but it was the ants that craved this stuff, the teacher referring to these aphids as their “ant cows,” and how ants herded these aphids as though defending them from predators. All intriguing stuff to me as it was about the same time in my life when I was attending the Toronto Exhibition every summer, where my favourite drink was – you guessed it – Honeydew. Not sure of its origin, or what it
OUTDOOR RAMBLES TERRY SPRAGUE
contained. I just remember we counted the days to the Exhibition opening when we could once again drown ourselves in Honeydew. We were addicted. Naturally I equated the honeydew the ants craved to the delicious Honeydew drink of the 1950s. No wonder they enjoyed it! What our teacher had failed to tell us though, was that the honeydew in the insect world was nothing more than the euphemistic term for aphid excrement! Ewwww! My whole world came crashing down, and I haven’t had a Honeydew since, if it’s even available now. It has been a good year for insects, and I must admit that, as a naturalist, I don’t go ballistic when insects are about. I learned many new butterflies, dragonflies, and am starting to amass a digital photo file, thanks to a couple
photographers who fill my inbox almost weekly with macro shots of interesting insects. Most I find fascinating, even the mosquitoes, for they are what attract the bats around our house in the evening, and the dragonflies and swallows during the day. I have even enjoyed the yellow jackets that have been making use of my hummingbird feeder this fall, the baldfaced hornets at the oriole feeder and the honey bees at the bird bath. We need bees, and among the more unusual ones reported to me by e-mail were the digger wasps. Very law abiding little critters who get along fine with us, provided we don’t get them riled up by handling them roughly. They seldom sting, preferring instead to save that tool for paralyzing larvae which they drag into their tiny holes they excavate in the earth. The insect larvae packed inside will remain in a comatose state in the hole and will serve as fast food for the bees when they hatch. Another photo received just last week was that of a solitary bee, otherwise known as a leaf cutter. Unlike most bees who like to form colonies, solitary bees are what the name suggests. They are private insects that prefer to work alone. The photo I received was of one jamming a piece of leaf into a tiny cavity in a piece of wood. They also utilize holes in the ground, but tend to prefer natural cavities they find in
trees or buildings. Depending on the size of the cavity, they will build nests composed of a string of cells, whatever the cavity will allow. Each cell is made from these microscopic chunks of leaves. While the bees do not store honey, the females do store pollen which they thoughtfully insert into the cells of their nests. Each cell contains one egg and one pollen ball. The larva consumes the pollen ball and enters hibernation once the pollen is consumed. In the spring, the larva pupates, and the fully developed bee cuts its way out of its nest, and away it goes. Does the average person notice the incredible ways of insects? Well, some do, for there were many queries and stories that come to my attention. One person even mentioned having built a nesting block for mason bees. For those who cannot use a drill, one can buy these blocks already drilled for you. Perhaps others out there, who do notice these things, also acquired their interest from a teacher and her story of ants milking cows. Apparently the same story is still being told in many classes, so it must be an effective tool. For more information on today’s topic, please e-mail tsprague@kos.net or phone 613?476?5072.

Police seek man who assaulted 12-year-old boy on Nery Avenue
The Prince Edward OPP are seeking the public’s help in identifying a man that assaulted a 12-year-old boy in Prince Edward Heights last Thursday evening. Police say the boy was building a bicycle ramp on Nery Avenue in the Macaulay Village subdivision when the man took hold of his arm and started to pull him toward a wooded area.
When the boy called for help, police say the man let go and was last seen running into the woods. The victim was frightened by the incident, but not harmed. The investigating officers were joined by a K-9 unit and Emergency Response Team officers, but the suspect was not located. Police describe the suspect as an older white male with
dark tanned skin who stands more than six feet tall and has short grey hair with a bushy, chest length black and grey beard. The man was said to have yellow teeth in poor condition and was wearing dirty and torn clothing at the time of the incident. Specifically, he was wearing a brown pullover sweatshirt with a yellow and white diamond pattern and dark blue jeans.
The search is ongoing and police encourage the public to report anyone matching the description. Police are encouraging parents to encourage their children to practice personal safety at all times. Additional safety tips are available for viewing online at the web site www.opp.ca. -Staff

WHILE some of the PECI students who walked out of class Monday morning did so due to a genuine concern for their teachers’ right to bargain, by reading social media posts, it would appear that some others were out to protest Dalton McGuinty taking away their extracurricular activities. Now, McGuinty has done a number of things that have drawn ire from many Ontario residents, including Bill 115, which many charge was designed to create a conflict and win byelections rather than manage the budget, he never did take away extracurricular activities, nor did Mike Harris before him. They took on teachers’ unions because they felt that was the right move politically, and it just so happened that many teachers made the decision to stop volunteering for the extras. It seems many would be pleased to have young minds believe that some government officials, away in some office buildings in Toronto made that decision. They’d just as soon leave it to them to deal with the deluge of e-mails and calls from frustrated students who feel the tension every time they walk into a school that isn’t quite the place they used to know, and their parents who have to see the impact of this job action when they come home at night. The reality is that although work-to-rule campaigns do a great job at increasing dissent and creating a pile of work for parliamentary assistants, they do little to move the government and often end up stressing everyone involved. One can bet that suspending voluntary activities is just one strategy, too, along with legal challenges, which likely are the more logical step toward the outcome teachers want to see. From experience as students and from covering clubs and teams within schools, extracurricular activities are seldom led by teachers who don’t want to be there and who only consider them a job. In most cases, coaches and advisors are there today because someone in their own youth took time to volunteer to teach them passion for a sport or a cause and they remain driven to keep that fire alive and spread it toward a new group of young minds — it just happens to be in a place they already work with a bunch of young people they know. That brings up another bonus of extracurricular activities and that is that it gives teacher-volunteers another way to meet and bond with their students, which leads them to understand one another on a different level. If all the cards are on the table and students are given information from both sides of the labour dispute, one could only imagine they’d more logically side with the basketball coach who stuck it out with them while they were learning to shoot a threepointer or the director who cast them in their first school play than one who would treat them as a pawn in some bigger game. For their own sake and the sake of the young minds they shape, teachers should consider developing a harmonious setting within the schools and leave the battles outside.

Russ Burrows was among Canadian delegation marking raid’s 70th anniversary Weekend events include cemetery tour Dieppe veteran discusses return to beach and book launch Jasonparks
Staff writer
History buff and mystery book lovers alike will be interested in two events the library has on the calendar for this weekend. On Saturday, September 22, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., a cemetery tour and wine and cheese fundraiser for the Archives takes place at By Chadsey’s Cairns Winery and Vineyard. Enjoy wine tastings, nibbles, and music by acoustic guitarist Mark Taylor, as well as a lantern light tour of the cemetery and historically significant winery property. Tours will be held at 7:30p.m. and 8:15p.m. The event promotes the preservation of local history by supporting the digitization project at the Archives. Scanning images and documents allows not only preservation of significant pieces of history, but further increases accessibility by the public to those collection records and photographs online. Tickets to the fundraiser are $15 per person or $25 per couple and are available at all branches of the County of Prince Edward Library & Archives, at the Archives at 28 East Street adjacent to the Wellington branch of the library, and at By Chadsey’s Cairns Winery and Vineyard at 17432 Loyalist Parkway. “We hope to see many people out to this unique event which promises to be a special evening,” said Archives Manager Krista Richardson, “and we want to extend our thanks to Vida Zalnieriunas and Richard Johnston at By Chadsey’s Cairns for this fundraising opportunity.” Mystery story readers will want to mark Sunday, Sept. 23 on their calendars as well. At 2 p.m. the Picton branch of The County Public library and Archives is pleased to present the launch of a new mystery by the “one woman crime wave”, Vicki Delany. The author of twelve books and with two more slated for next year, Delany has published books in three different sub-genres as well as a book for adults with low literacy skills. Her latest novel More than Sorrow is set on a small scale organic farm in the County and those at the book launch may get the insight on what farm that is! A starred review in the Library Journal says of Delany’s latest, “In a change of pace from her Con. Molly Smith mysteries (Among the Departed), Delany has written a splendid Gothic thriller with a theme of strong women

throughout history. Readers will be captivated by the haunted root cellar and how Delany contrasted one woman’s struggles in the past with the plight of contemporary refugees.” New York Times bestselling author Susanna Kearsley says, “This clever mystery mingles past and present in an atmosphere as chilling as the subtle roll of mist across a field.” Published by Poisoned Pen Press, the story's protagonist is Hannah Manning, once an internationally-renowned journalist and war correspondent. Today, she’s a woman suffering from a traumatic brain injury. Unable to read, unable to concentrate, full of pain, lost and confused, haunted by her memories, Hannah goes to her sister’s small-scale vegetable farm in Prince Edward County, Ontario to recover. As summer settles on the farm, she finds comfort in the soft rolling hills and neat fields as well as friendship in the company of Hila Popalzai, an Afghan woman also traumatized by war. Unable to read the printed word, Hannah retreats into the attic and boxes of moldy letters that have accumulated for more than two centuries. As she learns about the original settlers of this land, Loyalist refugees fleeing the United States in 1784, she is increasingly drawn to the space beneath the old house. More than carrots and potatoes, soups and jams, are down in the dark damp root cellar! Come meet the author, enjoy a reading from the book and light refreshments. This is a free event. Books will be available for sale and all are welcome to bring copies of other titles by the author for signing of those as well. For more events, visit our online calendar at: www.peclibrary.org

To hear Russ Burrows tell it, his trek with seven other Canadian Second World War veterans to Dieppe to mark the 70th anniversary of the most catastrophic raid in Canadian military history was more like a business trip than a sojourn based on remembrance. But the trip did afford him one last view of the beach where his friends lost their lives and allowed him to recall vividly the memory of his capture, being shipped to POW camps all over eastern Europe and how he escaped German capture near the end of the war. The Picton man and a handful of other Dieppe raid veterans were treated to a heroes’ welcome when they returned to the French coastal town last month to mark the anniversary of the fateful raid in which 900 Canadians were killed and 2,500 (including Burrows) were taken prisoner or wounded. The trip, organized by the government of Canada, was a three day affair where veterans and dignitaries toured the two grave sites where Canadians killed in the raid have been laid to rest as well as the beach where those soldiers laid down their lives for the Allied cause. Burrows was there Aug. 19, 2012 just as he had 70 years prior and said the memories came flooding back to him one more time. “Yeah, the memories came back back big time,” Burrows said. “It was very sad.” In the town, the mood of the ceremonies honouring the price Canada paid could best be described as solemn celebration. “The people of the towns were very good, they were lined up three deep on either side of the road and applauding and cheering us,” Burrows said.”They remember over there much better then we do here. In Europe, it's passed on from generation to generation and the kids look after the grave yard and they do that very well. There isn't

a blade of grass out of place.” The trip was a whirlwind for Burrows who said there wasn't much down time to reflect. “The government paid us and looked after us well,” Burrows said. “But they also worked us well.” Timelines were full and stringent. “We were up and out the door every day before 8 a.m.,” Burrows recalls “The Governor General (David Johnston) held a wild duck diner and wine-lots and lots of wine and that was very nice but we were all very tired by the end of each day and there wasn't any time to do anything else.” Burrows was the only member of the Royal Canadian Engineer (RCE) Corps taking part in the commemorative ceremony and said, standing on the beach, he could recall his mission objectives, evading enemy fire and surveying the scene
afterwards while being taken prisoner. Burrows was part of a six man detachment of the 11 field company RCE that were ordered to blow up a road block. Burrows and his group got tied up on the beach and pinned down by enemy fire. Another detachment with the same objective made it to the site but were unable to to complete the task. “It didn't really matter because there was only one tank that ever got up on the promenade anyway. All the little stones kept the tanks on the beach,” Burrows said. Military historians point to the pebbled beach was one of the key factors in the raid’s failure. Heavy tanks, vehicles and equipment became mired in the tiny pebbles. Pinned down by German gunfire, Burrows managed to sneak behind a sea wall and waited to make a break for better cover.
“I waited there quite a while,” he said. Eventually, Burrows had the nerve and the break in the gunfire to scramble behind a tank that had gotten set in on the beach. A landing craft nearby was nearly loaded with escaping soldiers and Burrows was considering making a run to the boat but the Germans put a mortar right into it and waters ran red with the blood of the Canadians. “It kind of changed my mind on swimming out and getting back on the boats,” Burrows said. Finally captured, Burrows was marched to high ground and gained a different perspective of the battlefield. “I got up on the promenade and looked back over the beach, Holy God what a disaster. So many dead,” Burrows recalled.

STEDMANS, from page 1
"We had as many as 20 people a day saying we were closing... there were a lot of absurd rumours our staff had to deal with," he said. "We still have all the stuff we used to carry." Moving forward, there could be some opportunity for retail at the site, however it will not be under the Stedmans banner as the brand has formally ceased to exist. Grant indicated he has had more than 15 groups visit the store, but most were either lowball offers or groups he didn't feel could get the financing. He has also been searching for something he sees as a positive development for the downtown core. "I've had talks with one corporation with AAA-rated companies — two that would help, if not save, the downtown — but they backed away. They were national brands and they weren't interested because of the lack of support in the winter time." Grant said he has one more plausible offer on the table at this point. He also said he would look into start-
ing additional small businesses within the county — possibly continuing to back his six remaining employees — but he hopes to start from scratch in those ventures. One of those, he said, might be in women's clothing as he still has rights to some of the brands the store sells and there has been a very loyal following in that area over the years. Meanwhile, Stedmans will continue with its closeout, an event Grant said is designed to thank those customers who loyally went out of their way to find goods at Stedmans. "I know a lot of people locally are struggling financially, so we figured we'd have our big closeout sale now so people can do their Christmas shopping as an appreciation for their dedication to downtown and not going to Belleville to shop." He called it a blockbuster hit and said sales volumes were triple what the staff had estimated. At this pace, Grant figures the store will remain open until late October, but reminds customers he still has some late shipments of clothing and cook-
ware to come. It's a bittersweet time for the longtime staff members at Stedmans — though as one, Joyce Gervais put it, "It's been so busy, we haven't really had a chance for it to set in." At a store where customer service was a priority — even to the point of sending a customer to another local store if they didn't have stock — a sense of familiarity and family developed. Brenda Aman, an employee of eight years, and a customer since she was a young girl remembers the familiarity with regular customers who came in and she'd know exactly what they'd want. She also remembered all of that staff that came through the doors, from Dianne Roebuck, who called most of her customers by name, to the number of summer students who got their start working at Stedmans — many who have gone on to all walks of life. "The kids come and go, but you learn a lot from them while they're here — like the latest sayings," she said. "They were special, all of them were." In recent years, the store
also had a dog Spirit, who became a celebrity with the customers. Bonnie Awde, who manages the women's clothing department says she actually dreamed of working at the store as a child and she takes a lot of memories with her. "I remember as a child coming into buy candy from the bulk candy counter and wishing I worked here," she said. "Who would know, a few years ago I was hired. Unfortunately, the bulk candy was gone, but I will always remember all of the wonderful customers, the many conversations, and the faithfulness of many to shop here as they knew we needed a job." Awde says she hopes to continue working and serving customers somewhere in the county. Grant said it is up to county residents to show that business can thrive here. "The county is responsible for the county," he said. "Having empty buildings hurts other people downtown who are already struggling. It's not easy when people are putting dollars elsewhere. It's the law of diminishing returns."

Canadian Tire Jumpstart’s Pedal For Kids Cycling Tour rolled through the county Monday raising funds to help youth participate in organized sport. While about 30 cyclists continued on their Kingstonto-Toronto ride after an overnight stop here, the group did leave something valuable behind. At a welcoming event in front of the Picton store, Jumpstart presented a pair of activity kits full of sporting equipment to a pair of afterschool programs in the region. Picton’s Recreation Outreach Centre (ROC) and Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Hastings and Prince Edward received customizable kits to help facilitate after-school programs.
Mark Wolvin, a regional manager with Jumpstart, worked with the ROC in its bid. He said the program started in Manitoba and has spread across the country. “One of the biggest barriers to programming is the cost of equipment and the access to equipment,� he said. “Canadian Tire JumpStart said we can fix that. If we can provide equipment to the program at no cost, the program will go.� He said Jumpstart is still working with the ROC to finalize its equipment needs for the Triple Power program, but as an example, Big Brothers and Big Sisters received a bag with gear for basketball, bocce ball, soccer, yoga as well as a parachute and a capture the flag kit. On the tour, the riders, who are all part of Canadian Tire’s corporate family, were hoping to raise more than
$200,000 for riding 500 km. Picton store owner Jeff Marshall joined the circuit for the first day, riding out of Kingston. He said the value of the program is shown in this county alone as 443 youth since 2005 and 133 last year alone were involved in organized activities as a result of the fund. “A lot of kids need a bit of help to be involved in active sports, we're a big proponent of that and it's great to be a part of it,� Marshall said. “A lot of different things qualify, ... Anything that's organized and done on a weekly basis, kids can apply for assistance to help with the cost.� Canadian Tire partners with the County to administer Jumpstart. As a result Mayor Peter Mertens, program co-ordinator Wendy Lane, and several councillors also greeted the cyclists participating on the tour..

Walking programs provide good way to stay in shape
Last week’s column was about the Public Health Unit’s virtual walking program in Prince Edward County. Community Care operates three walking programs here in Prince Edward. They all start on the day after Thanksgiving and conclude for the summer, the Friday before Victoria Day. The purpose of the walking program is to provide a safe, supervised, and inexpensive exercise program that promotes healthy living. Participants include seniors, rehabilitation patients, special needs individuals, shift workers and others interested in the physical benefits and social contacts. Individuals are eligible to join the program if they feel they would benefit from the exercise of walking. It’s recommended that people discuss their participation in the pro-

gram with their primary care practitioner. Community Care operates a walking program in Wellington at the Community Centre and C.M.L. Snider Elementary School and in Picton at Prince Edward Collegiate. There is a volunteer on site each day to oversee the walkers and tend to any accidents or mishaps that might occur. Everyone walks at their own pace. It’s not a race! We even have people who use walkers participate in this program. Once signed up for the program, you can walk up to five days a week. Walking is a natural and effective way to stay active. It improves fitness, health and mental wellbeing. Walking refreshes the mind, reduces fatigue and increases energy. More than half the body’s muscles are designed for walking; it is a natural movement that is virtually injury-free. Walking provides an enjoyable time for sharing and socializing with friends or family. Regular, brisk walking can reduce elevated blood fats or blood pressure and improve digestion and elimination. Walking strengthens bones and helps prevent or control osteoporosis. Walking relieves stress and tension. Combined with healthy eating, walking will help maintain a healthy weight and a positive body image. Brisk walking is an aerobic activity. It increases the body’s demand for oxygen and trains the heart, lungs and muscles to work more efficiently. The walking programs

160-year-old barn centrepiece of Hillier Creek Estates
A couple weeks ago I wrote that if you headed down you Parkway Loyalist would run into a very colourful winery; Sandbanks. If you continue west along Loyalist you will run into another landmark winery on that highway that jumps out at you and that would be Hillier Creek Estates. An impressive field of vines stretches from the road down to a 160-year- old red barn that dominates the scene. After being in development for over nine years, they opened their doors to the public for the first time in spring of 2010. In the fall of 2000, Amber and Kemp Stewart purchased the property that is now Hillier Creek Estates. Kemp is a retired senior logistics officer with 35 years of military service and this past May he was named as Honorary Colonel of 429 Sqn at 8 Wing Trenton. His wife is a physician and coroner working with hospitals in and Trenton, Picton, Cobourg. They reside on the Hillier Creek Estates property with their golden doodles Pinot and Riesling. Though the property had not been inhabited for 15 years when they purchased it, the land had quite a bit of history, tracing its roots to the Loyalist days of the county. The land had been originally granted to Dr. Latham, a British army surgeon serving in the United States during the War of 1812. He is noted as being the first innoculator of the Dr. vaccine. smallpox Latham never resided on the property, but instead lived and died in Kingston. When you visit Hillier Creek and find Kemp there you have to ask him about the centrepiece of their property. The original barn, now used as their winery, cellar, and tasting room is estimated to be over 160 years old and was built directly on the ground. After its purchase by the current owners, it was necessary to raise the barn in order to complete renovation and restoration. A cribbing system was used to hold and suspend the barn, alternating

timbers four inches at a time. Upon raising the barn, it was discovered there were two underground streams, which necessitated the building of a 9,000-gallon cistern below the deck. The finished foundation stabilized the structure in 2008, and the barn was completed in 2009. Ben Simmons joined Hillier Creek Estates as winemaker in May 2011. He came to work for them after six vintages in Prince Edward County as associate winemaker and viticulturist with Norman Hardie Wines. Simmons has been an instructor for the Niagara College winery and vineyard technician program and has also helped run the wine program at the Fairmont resort. Springs Banff Whether you are completely new to the subject or an opinionated collector, Ben will be happy to show you why he is so enthusiastic about the pleasures of wine and the beauty of Prince Edward County. Hillier Creek Estates, in its current state, is a farm winery comprised of 50 acres; 24 of which are planted with Gamay, Pinot noir, Chardonnay, Riesling, and their newly planted Vidal. Their 27,000 plants were originally planted in 2002, 2003, and 2004 and their newest planting is two acres of the Canadian hybrid Vidal. Their current production is 25 tonnes, for a production of 30,000 bottles per year. Hillier Creek Estates has

They have a beautiful special events room located adjacent to the tasting bar, as well as a partially covered patio. They can accommodate up to 100 guests in the Spring, Summer, and Fall seasons. They can provide tables, chairs, and linen, and water glasses, and they would be happy to recommend some local catering services that would suit the needs of your event. If you're out and about "sippin in the county" you
will find that they have also joined a number of other wineries in the area in introducing my favourite food ... pizza! They have introduced a home-made, wood-fired, thin crust, Nepalese style pizzas on their expanded patio this summer.

Burrows would bounce around to and from various POW camps in France, the Baltic, Poland and Germany until March, 1945. Thanks to the advancing Russian and Allied armies, Burrows and his fellow captives left their camp between Hamburg and Hanover one late winter day and never returned, simply marching about the countryside. Burrows, a Canadian soldier named Pat Ireland from Peace River, Alberta and British soldier known only as Sussex because he was from Sussex, England, stole away from the mass of soldiers one day near the end of March. The trio hid in the wilds of North Central Germany, awaiting the advancing Allies in order to get behind friendly lines. During this time, Burrows and the men became desperate for food. One particularly grim day, Burrows heard a squeaking sound off in the distance and decided to check it out. In a
clearing, Burrows came across an older German women working a water pump. “At the time, I guess I looked pretty rough and in German I said 'Good morning',” Burrows recalls with a laugh. “ I must have scared her out of her wits... I told her I was a Canadian P.O.W. and asked her If I have something to eat.” Despite her hesitancy, Burrows and the men were taken to a house in the countryside where the woman combined a couple of eggs, flour and potatoes into potato cakes. “She was pretty nervous and you could see that, but I think she was more nervous about what her people were going to do to her if they found out than what we were going to do,” Burrows said. “We had instant coffee from a Red Cross care package and we said 'If you have hot water we can have coffee' and she couldn't get over that because they didn't have coffee there at that time.” In a surreal scene, Burrows and the two other es-

caped P.O.W.s sat down with the woman and discussed the war over potato cakes and coffee. “She didn't know that President Theodore Roosevelt had died but we did. But she started talking about Hitler and how he and Roosevelt, Winston Churchill and Josef Stalin should “all be put in this kitchen, lock the doors, let them fight and there won't be any more war.” According to Burrows recollection, the women had already lost a son in the war and had another two were fighting for the Vaterland and she didn't know where they were or if they were still alive. “We told her the war was soon going to be over. We could hear the guns at night time as they approached from both sides,” Burrows said. The group set out that morning, travelling up Hitler's Autobahn and, within a few days, met up with some British tanks. Within two days, Burrows was back in England with his newfound pal Ireland. “We didn't do too much

after that,” Burrows recalls. “We were granted a 14-day leave but we had to be in the hospital for a while. During that time, (Victory-Europe) day had come and Pat Ireland and I got our uniforms cleaned up and went down to Reading. They were burning Hitler in effigy, the whole bit. It was quite a party.” Burrows and Ireland came back to the hospital and were in the process of sleeping off the after effects of what was up until that time, the party of the century until they were awoken. “The old nurse woke us up and said 'The prodigal sons have returned!' I asked her “You didn't charge us did ya?',” he said. “No, I didn't but you are going to get the hell out of here today!” she shot back. Burrows was back in Canada by July, 1945. In all, Burrows said he enjoyed being a part of the commemorative trip to Dieppe, however, the staggering pace was almost too much. “After all, we are all over 90, we aren't young men anymore,” he said with a laugh.

Douglass said the laidback country feel of Prince Edward County pairs well with his wares. Overall, Newland said he was happy with the amount of visitors to the show by late Friday afternoon, and was expecting the crowds to keep coming. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You always shoot for the moon,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We always try to advertise in as many media as we can and try to attract people from Ottawa right through to Toronto â&#x20AC;Ś it seems to work and people do definitely come down for the show.

Vendors look for ways to attract younger buyers
Chad IBBOTSON
Staff writer
The phrase 'new antiques' may sound like an oxymoron, but the organizers of the Prince Edward County Fall Antique Show and Sale strive to provide just that. Holly and Ken Newland run the annual display of artistic artifacts. Ken said the trick to making the show a success every year is to give people new and interesting things that they haven't seen before. The show, which took place from Friday to Sunday, featured a wide selection of eye-catching items from antique pine furniture to handpainted glass work, comprising the collections of about 30 vendors. Newland said that variety is very important. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Big, big time. It has to be eye-catching, it has to be interesting,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The public is very conscious of wanting different things, a varied array of items. They really get put off by too much of the same or all jewelry, too much silver, too much glass â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you can pick any type of item you want.â&#x20AC;? Newland said the antique show is always well attended and by late afternoon on Friday, things were already picking up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It seems to get bigger and better every year. All we can hope for is a good econ-

omy and keep trying to give people a good product,â&#x20AC;? Newland said. However, he said one of the biggest challenges the show faces year to year is attracting younger collectors. He said the only way to do that is to offer a diverse selection. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It could be Star Wars, it could be who knows what. It's their childhood, it could be stuff from the '80s, which is something we've never really looked at,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's part of the evolution of the business â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you try to accommodate as best you can.â&#x20AC;? As far as business goes, Newland said the recession affected the show for a few years, but things have gotten

Host a successful yard sale
For many people, scouring yard sales for a bargain is a favourite pastime. For anyone hosting a yard sale, it’s a great way to free up space in the home and make a little extra cash. If you are thinking of having a yard sale, the Ontario Real Estate Association and your local Realtor offer the following tips to ensure success.
Set a date
Choose a date and time for your sale and check local regulations to see if you need a permit. Weekends
are usually best for yard sales, and most run from seven or eight in the morning until four or five in the afternoon. You'll also need to set a rain date -- usually the next day if your sale is on a Saturday -- or the following weekend if your date is Sunday.
Advertise
Most yard sale hosts advertise by posting signs on lamp posts and community bulletin boards. You can also mention your sale information on Facebook and Twitter, blog about it or post it on websites like Kijiji or craigslist. Many community newspapers offer free or in-
expensive ad space as well. Just be sure to plan well in advance to meet their deadlines.
Get organized
Start collecting items for your yard sale several weeks in advance. Ask your friends and family if they have anything to contribute. More often than not, they’ll jump at the chance to get rid of it! Organize your sale items by category and pack them into clearly marked boxes. Keep in mind that yard sale enthusiasts like to start early so it’s helpful to get everything set up the night before if possible. Be sure to stock up on change.
As most of your transactions will involve small amounts, it’s a good idea to have $100 or more in small bills and coins on hand. Buyers will often stop at a bank machine before they come, so expect to get a lot of larger bills early in the day. Finally, remember that people love to haggle so set your prices with room to negotiate. Just don’t price items so high that you turn away potential buyers. Try to attend a few sales the week before to get an idea of the going prices. The objective of your yard sale should be to rid your home of clutter and put a little money in your pocket.

The hockey club dropped its season opener in Kingston on Thursday evening 5-3 before besting Whitby 4-1 in the home opener on Friday and taming the host Pickering Panthers 3-1 on Sunday. That productive start places the Dukes (2-1-0, four points) in the thick of the East Division, just two points back of division leading Kingston with the locals having two games in hand on the Voyageurs. Wellington's latest triumph came at the Pickering Recreation Complex as a fast start helped Wellington past the Panthers. Parker Wood cashed in on one of Wellington's first shots of the game, lighting the lamp 30 seconds in. Wellington doubled that lead just over four minutes later when Erick Delaurentis beat Panther netminder Spencer Bacon at the 4:36 mark. Vets Craig Campbell and Jan Kaminsky teamed up on
the Wood goal while rookies Luc Brown and Joe McKewon picked up their first OJHL points on the Delaurentis marker. Wellington Dukes coach and general manager Marty Abrams said the start really helped the young Wellington club acclimatize in just its second road game of the season. “It was a really good start and it really propelled us to a full, 60 minute effort,” Abrams said. “We killed off a 5-on-3 to start the third period and our leaders like Kaminsky, Campbell and and Delaurentis gave us a lot of good miles. We had strong goaltending out of Hayden Lavigne and we deserved full credit for the win.” Adam Nanji carved into the Wellington lead in the second period but the Duke two goal spread was restored when Zach Bishop fried Bacon with a blast at 13:32. Wood and Kaminsky added helpers on the Northville, Michigan native's first of the year. In the third, it was the Hayden Lavinge show as the 16-year-old Toronto Young Nats netimder turned back all 14 Panthers shots to preserve Wellington's second win of the season.

Gravity Fest continues to draw top talent Familiar names top skateboarding, luge leaderboards in ideal weather Chad IbboTson Staff writer
Perfect weather and great fan support highlighted the third annual Prince Edward County Gravity Fest this weekend. Approximately 100 entrants pulled on the leather to participate in the event, up from around 55 in the first year and 75 racers in the second. The event — which is a stop on the International Gravity Sports Association's (IGSA) NorAm tour — took place Saturday and Sunday in Picton and featured events such as downhill skateboarding, street luge, and classic luge in men's, women's and junior categories. Former IGSA street luge Canadian champion Kolby Parks has been instrumental in bringing the event to Prince Edward County, but said his sister, Krisha, was the face behind this year's event and was essential in making it the success it was. “She was the driving force this year to getting everything going,” he said. Krisha was also the voice of the event, providing racers' names and announcing updates to the crowd. Parks said he couldn't envision the event turning out any better than it did. “Everything went pretty much perfectly, I couldn't ask for much better,” he said. “We had perfect weather, the community came out to watch and supported the race. Everyone just had a great time and that's all my-
self and the organizing committee wanted.” The move to a September date has helped the event grow. In it's first year Gravity Fest was held near the end of October and forced entrants to tackle the hill in cold, wet conditions. Last year the event moved to a mid-September start and the move paid off again this weekend. “(The earlier start) makes it so much better. It's not cold, it's the perfect time of year. Everything is kind of winding down here in the county, so it just gives one more thing in the shoulder season to keep people spending money in the county,” Parks said. The event continues to attract some of the best Canadians in the sport as well as international competitors. This year there was no shortage of familiar names in gravity sports such as world champion downhill skateboarder Patrick Switzer, Nikolas Desmaris, Cam Brickenden, Nick Jean, and John Barnet. “There were a lot of top Canadian riders like that who came out for the event — it was great,” Parks said. Parks said the county event — which takes riders from the top of the hill on Church Street down through Pitt Street before turning and ending on York Street — has become popular with riders because it affords them extra practice time. “They like this event because they get lots and lots of runs on Saturday morning. Usually on the (first) morn-

ing of a two-day event if you're doing qualifying in the afternoon, you maybe get two or three, maybe four. I got 10 in the morning,” he said. “They really enjoy the amount of runs they get and they really enjoy the atmosphere here, it's very relaxed and it's a very safe track to race on.” He said the Picton course is one of just a few that line the entire course with safety hay bales. He said the parents of younger entrants are especially appreciative of the extra safety measures.
GOOD REPUTATION
Parks said if the event hasn't grown that much in three years, it has definitely gained a solid reputation among racers and within the community. “That's why we're seeing the racers come,” he said. “They've heard what a good event it is and how many runs they get.” He said riders are generally wary of new events, but the best ones gain popularity through word of mouth, much like Gravity Fest has. “We've got a good reputation now for running a solid event,” he said. The event also allowed local kids the chance to meet the racers at the Picton skate park and get autographs. He said a meet and greet was part of the festivities in the first year, but was left out last year. “We got swamped by organizing other things, so it
didn't really happen. This year we were able to do it again and the kids loved it,” he said. “We had something like 100 kids at the skate park all getting autographs and Tshirts and swag and stickers and all that stuff. They all really enjoyed it.” Parks said he hasn't really begun to think about what next year's event will look like, but he said he does have some ideas that could potentially make the event bigger. He said the planning phase would start next year in March or April. “Who knows where it's going to be next year,” he said. Familiar names topped the winners list this year. In downhill skateboarding Patrick Switzer captured first place for the third consecutive year with Nikolas Desmaris coming in second and John Barnet third. In the women's category Cindy Zhou captured first, Andi Leslie second and Michelle Poirier third. In the age 8–13 junior category it was Logan Whyatt, followed by Greg Praposki and Timothy Mulligan. Quin Finocchio captured first in the age 14–17 downhill skateboarding category followed by Riley Richters and Lucas Ball. In classic luge it was Bob Touchette followed by Will Condon and Bob Lavoie. Finally, Christian Conaway captured first place in the street luge category followed by Kolby Parks and Tim Koch.

Preseason success gives Pirates momentum heading into season opener tonight at home Woodward likes depth Picton has on roster Chad Ibbotson
Staff writer
An excellent preseason has provided some momentum for the Picton Pirates as they get set to start their regular season tonight. The Pirates finished off the preseason with five wins and one loss after taking a 4â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 3 victory over the Amherstview Jets on Saturday night at the Wellington and District Community Centre. Pirates coach and general manager Ryan Woodward said the success in the preseason gives the team momentum heading into the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the performances in preseason wins and losses don't always tell the story, but I thought we played the games well, the guys played with structure and they played hard,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of positive signs and we're excited to drop the puck (tonight).â&#x20AC;? Picton started Saturday's game with a lot of jump, aggressively attacking Jets puck carriers and getting lots of opportunities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a lot of young players joining us this year and we've talked with them about coming to the rink focused and playing hard every night,â&#x20AC;? Woodward said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These guys have built some good habits in the preseason. I thought we had an excellent first period, the guys were moving their feet and putting pucks on net.â&#x20AC;? This ultimately lead to the Pirates' first goal with Ryan

Sizer sliding the puck in behind Jets goalie Troy Paquette. Jack Davison recorded the lone assist. The chances continued to build as the period went on and late in the first period the Jets took a costly penalty. The ensuing power play saw the Pirates put on a display of puck control, forcing Paquette to make no less than three 10-bell saves. Eventually, Tim Pandachuck managed to shovel a rebound past Paquette to put Picton up 2â&#x20AC;&#x201C;0. Davison and Sizer had the assists. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a pretty impressive power play there by Pandachuck, Sizer, Davison, (Riley) McGuire, and (Brad) Jacklin. The guys moved the puck quickly, they weren't standing still and they were able to get to loose pucks,â&#x20AC;? Woodward said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was impressive to watch. We've been working on some of our special teams, these players kind
of play instinctively at times when they're on top of their game and they were doing that late in the first.â&#x20AC;? The lone goal of the second period made the score 2â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 1 with Mark Christensen putting the Jets on the board. Amherstview then tied the game in the third on an effort from Chad McCutcheon with Ryan Fletcher and Chandler McDougall tal-
lying assists. Sizer was able to restore the Picton lead with Pandachuck and Jeremiah Doherty getting the helpers, but the game continued to go back and forth. Brett Yake connected with Liam Vanburen to again knot the game at 3â&#x20AC;&#x201C;3. However, Sizer's hat-trick goal sealed the game for the Pirates. Woodward said the final score didn't reflect the pace of the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a ton of chances to open the game right up in the first period. They were able to capitalize on a couple fortunate bounces in the second and third periods to keep the game tight. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their goaltender played fantastic, but overall I was pleased with the way we played.â&#x20AC;? He said the team played a strong game defensively, limiting the amount of good shots on goal and, offensively, the club was generating more than its share of chances. The club also announced the signing of 16-year-old defenceman Jacob Panetta. The Belleville native played last season as the captain of the Quinte Red Devils Minor Midget AAA team and Woodward described him as
The Nunavut Hockey Equipment Drive and Prince Edward County Minor Hockey Association are holding a hockey equipment drive
a highly skilled, mobile defenceman. Panetta was also selected by the Belleville Bulls in the 2012 OHL priority draft and attended the Bulls' camp earlier this month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We're really excited to add Panetta to the blue line this year. As an underage player he shows incredible vision, he's extremely mobile and he has a very high hockey IQ,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jacob is going to be our lone '96 on the season. We took a lot of time evaluating the '96s in the area this year to make sure we made the correct decision. We've had him on the radar since the spring and we couldn't be happier he's chosen the Pirates.â&#x20AC;? Woodward said the club
skated at the Prince Edward Community Centre on Tuesday. He said the team would take the time to readjust to their home ice after skating in Wellington in the preseason. He said there has been a lot to do this week, but a sharp practice on Tuesday was vital. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want guys to show consistency this year. We want the same effort every night,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have an incredible amount of depth at every position. We're a deep team, we're going to be young, there's going to be some growing pains, but we're really excited about this group.â&#x20AC;? Port Hope visits at 7:30 p.m. tonight in the opener.

Wellington prepares to renew rivalries with North clubs Newmarket and Aurora on weekend homestand Kaminsky wound up salting the game away with 12 seconds left. Delaurentis did the gut work down low and spotted the captain who blasted the puck into the yawning cage for a 4-1 final. Kaminsky had had in the first Duke goal of the evening as he and Wood teamed up to spot Campbell in the first. Campbell cruised into the offensive zone,took a back door, cross-crease feed and the veteran bested Fever at 3:58. In the second, Even Erickson was sprung on a partial breakaway and the Woodbury native made no mistake beating Fever five hole to double the Duke lead to 2-0. The line of Soucier, Nicholl and Erickson might not be the most imposing trio in the OJHL but with speed to to burn, slow footed defenders will have their hands full if
this line can continue to click. “There is a relentless pursuit of the puck when they are on the ice and the line has a bit of everything,” Abrams explained. “Nicholl brings some grit and determination to his game, Erickson and an uncanny knack around the net and Soucier has a bit of everything and is a gifted playmaker.” In the third, Campbell put the contest out of reach with his second of the game at 15:09 off a scramble. On Thursday, the Voyageurs might have thought Wellington was behind to stay but a Duke comeback bid in the late going made the contest go down to the wire. Down 3-0 after two, Kaminsky finally got the visitors on the board with his first of the year 15 seconds in. About seven minutes later,
Campbell was charging hard to the net when he was tripped up by a Vees defender and the Dukes earned a penalty shot. Campbell made no mistake, blasting the puck past Kingston goalie Charlie Finn at 7:23 to close the gap to 3-2. Kingston's Michael Casale would restored a two goal lead at 14:15 but Wood got that goal back at 17:22, setting up a dramatic finish. Kingston finally put the Dukes to bed after a wild and woolly third as Casale got his second of the frame into a yawning Wellington cage in the late going. “We got off to a slow start and with an extra 4-5 minutes we would have had them,” Abrams said of his club's first loss of the season. “We waited a little too long. We got better as the game went on and I happy with the effort, I just
It was just two games into the 2012-2013 OJHL regular season when Wellington Dukes general manager and coach Marty Abrams pulled the trigger and shuffled the the deck of the club's roster. In a surprising move that was finalized late Saturday evening, Abrams sent forward Guillaume Naud and defenceman Kevin Swales to the Dauphin Kings of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League for future considerations. Dispatching what was arguably his toughest and most dependable blueliner and a point producer with Major Junior experience was what Abrams called a “hockey decision.”
“It's just a pure hockey decision. We like where we are at with the players we have and it's a tough situation when you move forward some players get left behind,” Abrams said. Both players came to Wellington after the start of last season. Naud, a Quebec native, played in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League for Victoriaville and Val d'Or before arriving in Wellington early on last season. Naud finished his 20112012 campaign with 52 points in 46 games and even appeared in the Belleville Bulls lineup a handful of times as an emergency call up.
Swales, a tough nosed competitor, joined the Dukes mid way through 2011-12 from the Dawson Creek Rage of the North American Hockey League and registered a goal and four assists in 27 games. “Kevin was great in a support role last season playing behind our top four defenceman. Naud added a spark and was able to bring offence to the table,” Abrams said. “The Dukes are grateful for what they were able to bring to our lineup but this is a great opportunity for them to go to a different league, play for a great organization and see a different part of the country.” With a pair of 1992 birth
year players leaving the starting lineup, the move should allow some younger players to gain valuable ice time. “The age was a slight consideration but it wasn't the only consideration.” He added he was satisfied with the defensive corps Wellington has accumulated. “We really like out defence right now as it stands. Up front, we may be looking to add a piece...There are players coming back from (Dauphin) and we are going to take our time in picking the right fit for us,” Abrams said.

Lavigne played a key role in Wellington's first win of the year, carrying a shutout bid inside the final five minutes of a 4-1 win over Whitby . With Wellington leading 30 and under five minutes to play, Whitby finally found the range with 4:17 remaining when the rookie starter was victimized by a Steven Deeg wraparound attempt. In all, Lavinge stopped 25 of 26 Whitby shots. “I thought he played well,” Abrams said. He didn't have to make a on ton of grade A saves but he was solid when called upon.” While Whitby closed the gap to 3-1 and pressed for the equalizer by lifting Tyler Fever in the dying moments, the locals managed to stifle any serious comeback bid and

CARD OF THANKS
The Tuttle family would like to express their appreciation for the kindness and care throughout Keith's illness and passing. This strengthening support sustained us through this most difficult time. The exceptional medical care, so readily available, by Dr. French and his staff and the wonderful nursing angels at our Picton hospital were tremendous. Thank you to Pastor Dennis Pringle, whose visits and prayers held us together and to the Whattam Funeral Home who eased the process of passing. The overwhelming attendance at his funeral was a wonderful tribute to Keith and his family. We were truly blessed with an abundance of love and comfort when we needed it the most. Your kindness and presence at this time will always be remembered and appreciated. May God bless you all. Sincerely Shirley Tuttle and family.

OBITUARY
Garage/Yard Sale Guide
KEITH ALBERT TUTTLE August 18, 1944 – August 28, 2012
Keith was the third child in a family of 15 children born to his late parents, Herbert and Margaret (Hennessy) Tuttle. At a young age, Keith worked at various farms in the Athol and South Bay area, finishing his elementary school years between farm chores and harvests. He loved the outdoor life and enjoyed working with animals, especially cows and horses. On May 2, 1964, Keith married Shirley Powers and they started off married life in Paris, Ontario, where Keith worked for J.D. Adams Company building road graders. When an opportunity arose to work closer to home, Keith took a job with Marker Building Materials in Kingston, ON. And later worked at Anchor Concrete, also in Kingston. After back surgery in 1971, Keith spent his recovery completing his high school education and graduating with a carpentry apprenticeship, through Loyalist College. Missing his rural upbringing, the Tuttles and their four children moved to Cressy in ’72, where they had a 13 acre hobby farm. Keith was in his glory adding as many animals as the farm could maintain. For several years he did commercial fishing in local waters with his father and brother. For three years in the 80’s, Keith was a herdsman for a dairy farmer in South Bay, where he enjoyed the challenges of tending so many cows. In the early 80’s, he bought 105 acres of vacant land near Bongards in North Marysburgh Township. Keith enjoyed clearing and working his land. His heart was in farming and cattle and his beloved horses. Many wagon and sleigh rides through the woods with his team of Belgian’s, Star and Jess, were enjoyed. Keith loved his family, especially his grandchildren. Was always planning get-togethers with his kids. He wanted to have a huge family reunion this summer, but unfortunately it didn’t happen due to his condition. Keith’s brothers and cousins helped him build a brick home and the family enjoyed 24 wonderful years at this homestead prior to his illness. Keith became very active in the community and was involved with the North Marysburgh Recreation Committee. He also ran the township Transfer Station for several years until the County amalgamated when he became a County employee and worked in several garbage disposal sites in Prince Edward. He loved meeting and socializing with the people and missed that the most when he retired. Keith bravely battled with an inoperable brain tumour for eight months prior to his passing. Hospitalized the last three weeks, he received excellent care from Dr. French and the wonderful nursing staff at PECM Hospital. Services were held at the Whattam Funeral Home and interment was at Cherry Valley Cemetery. Keith will always be lovingly remembered by his wife of 48 years, Shirley and his children Kim (Tim) Rorabeck; Kevin (Deanna) Tuttle; Aynsley (Glen) Shelley and Ashley Tuttle. Nine grandchildren: Bryan and Brandon Rorabeck, Michael and Brittany Tuttle, Alysha (Cory) Cole, Stacy, Dylan and Matthew Tuttle and Wesley Tuttle. One great grandson Joshua Tuttle-Cole. Keith is also survived by his nine brothers and five sisters and their families. “Your memory is a keepsake from which I’ll never part. God has you in his arms, I have you in my heart.”

Every plant can have problems, but some are more devastating than others. Someone confided recently that her young cucumber plants had been thriving, until the day she saw them covered with squash beetles and within twenty four hours they were all dead. There is nothing that I know of that will revive a dead annual. A perennial that appears to be dead may be revived through watering or may return again the next
spring, but not a dead annual. Cucumber plants are seriously affected by any number of pests and diseases. The best place to start, as usual, is to follow the requirements to maintain healthy cucumber plants. The fall is a good time to think of what worked and what did not. Cucumbers need a sunny bed with some protection from wind. The vine types can sprawl on the ground if you have a lot of space or they can grow up a trellis. Research in-

dicates that yields are higher on trellis grown cucumbers. These cucumbers also grow straighter and are easier to find. There are also bush types, which are reasonably compact. Cucumbers, summer and winter squash, and melons are all part of the cucurbit family (Cucurbitaceae). I have discovered that these plants if grown in the same bed or a nearby bed may cross pollinate generally producing unusual and inedible fruit. A small garden may not have enough space to grow more than one or two members of this family successfully. Cucumbers are heavy feeders and do well with lots of compost and well-rotted manure. This can be done in the late fall or early spring. As well, the experts say, plants can be side dressed during the growing season, but I have found that mine seem to thrive well without this. If the plants seem less than happy, you can make a manure or compost tea to water the plant. Seedlings require warm soil 16C. (60F.) to germinate and temperatures lower than 10C. will significantly slow growth and even the slightest frost kills them. Transplants are generally the best way to go to have a reasonable production period but particular care should be used in handling transplants as they are less forgiving than tomato transplants, for example, in being moved. If you are growing your own seedlings, buy seeds for cucumbers that are resistant to diseases. To deter insect invasions, place row covers over young cucumbers in the spring. They should only be removed once the plants begin to flower. Modern cucumber plants

produce both male and female blossoms, and as long as there are pollinators near by there should be no problems with cucumber production. Cucumbers can be hand pollinated but it is preferable to encourage pollinators for the health of the garden and of the pollinators. Look for a variety of pollinator attractive plants to provide continuous blooming and keep your pollinators around. Let some of your herbs blossom, if your vegetable garden is at some distance from your flower gardens. Also flowering annuals that attract bees and other pollinators make a good addition to your vegetable garden. When there is insufficient rain, consistent watering helps maintain a pleasant flavour in your cucumbers. A week without water, either from rain or watering, will generally produce bitter tasting cucumbers. Pickling cucumbers require picking as soon as they reach pickling size. Cucumbers grown to be eaten without pickling can be picked as small as 15 cm. (6 in.). They should not remain on the vine longer than a week or so after that stage or they will begin to yellow and become quite seedy. Early and continuous picking increases production. If you remove all blossoms about 30 to 40 days before the first frost is expected, the plant is encouraged to hasten maturation of the remaining fruit. This is caused by the plantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s need to produce viable seed for reproduction. If your cucumbers have not done well this year because of obvious pests such as the squash beetle, the two varieties of cucumber beetles or other pests and diseases, the standard solution is to plant them in another part of the garden the following year as far away from this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s site as possible. In small gardens this is not always possible. The most important steps are always to remove and then destroy all plant material from the offending bed. One alternative to moving beds is to plant bush cucumbers in a large container or even vine cucumbers in containers. You can also try solarization of the original bed both in the early fall and again the following spring. Keep a careful eye on young vulnerable seedlings. Focus on protecting them until they are large healthy plants more capable of surviving the occasional pest or disease. Prevention is far simpler than undertaking a cure. - Kathy MacPherson is a member of the Prince Edward County Master Gardeners.

cated committee working throughout the year too see it happen,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have some great musicians here.â&#x20AC;? Lemelin said the New Orford String Quartet is made up of the principle players of the Montreal and Toronto Symphonies and was a great example of the quality of the musicians who are participating this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They're all great musicians and they're a fantastic quartet,â&#x20AC;? he said. He said that also displays the festival's ability to draw high-quality talent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously we have some of Canada's top classical musicians here this weekend and next weekend,â&#x20AC;? he said. That includes the work of Mozetich. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's very, very wonderfully accessible music,â&#x20AC;? Lemelin said of Mozetich's work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is probably one of the best loved composers of today in Canada because his music is more melodic and accessible than a lot of new music. People will really love his music.â&#x20AC;? This year's program featured concerts â&#x20AC;&#x153;Scales of Joy and Sorrowâ&#x20AC;? featuring the work of Brahms, Mozetich and Edward Elgar on Saturday, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chamber Music Essentialsâ&#x20AC;? featuring the work of Mozart, BĂŠla BartĂłk, and
Brahms on Sunday, a concert featuring students from local schools on Tuesday and continues tonight with â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Night at the Operaâ&#x20AC;? featuring Mozart's Cosi fan tutte. The opera will be fully staged and sung by young Canadian Artists at the Church of St. Mary Magdalene in Picton at 7:30 p.m. Lemelin said he is excited about the addition of the opera this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a delightful Mozart opera, it's a comic opera with lots of action,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's sung in Italian, but there will be english subtitles so people can follow the action just like at the MET (Metropolitan Museum of Art).â&#x20AC;? Tomorrow the festival will hold â&#x20AC;&#x153;Music in the Gardenâ&#x20AC;? at Oeno Gallery at 7:30 p.m. featuring the Penderecki String Quartet, and on Saturday the festival begins its close with a half hour program featuring local performer Luke Bell starting at 6:30 at the Church of St. Mary Magdalene. Lemelin said the show always tries to get some musicians from the area involved. He said Bell, who is a pianist, is a very promising young talent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's important to make connections. The festival has always been about connections, connections be-

tween the past and present â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that's why we have a composer-in-residence and we play music that's being written today, but we put it into the context of music of all times to show that music is connected,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The same is true of geographical ties and connections. It's great to give local performers an opportunity to play and to play in a professional setting for an audience.â&#x20AC;? Lemelin urged residents to come out to see the show, even if they aren't necessarily fans of classical music. He said the selection this year is very accessible and could change their minds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chamber music is the best way to enter the world of classical music. It's such an intimate setting, there's such lively interaction between musicians when they play together in a group,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's such an interactive, lively mode of music making and it's really easy for the audience to connect to that.â&#x20AC;?

Despite the title of this year's program for Prince Edward County Music Festival, nobody was left â&#x20AC;&#x153;Searching for Beautyâ&#x20AC;? when the festival kicked off Friday night above Books & Company. The opening performance featured the New Orford String Quartet, comprising the talents of Jonathan Crow and Andrew Wan on violins, Eric Nowlin on viola and Brian Manker on cello. After playing a piece from composer Joseph Haydn the audience gave a thunderous round of applause. Well-known broadcaster and music writer Eric Friesen presented the repertoire that was heard throughout this week and will be heard through Sunday, and added some perspective to what audiences would be hearing throughout that time. Friesen said the the definition of beauty is controversial because it's so subjective. He said beauty depends on the sensibilities of each person. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It means simply that there's a broad canvas. You will definitely get the sense of a broad canvas tonight as we go through some of the highlights of things to come in this festival,â&#x20AC;? Friesen told the audience Friday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope to expand some of your ideas of what beauty is.â&#x20AC;? Festival artistic director StĂŠphane Lemelin said the title â&#x20AC;&#x153;Searching for Beautyâ&#x20AC;? captured the feel of composer-in-residence Marjan Mozetich's motivation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In his music he quite explicitly tries to make beauty,â&#x20AC;? he said. Lemelin said he was excited to be kicking off the festival's ninth year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's always exciting to see it come together, we have an incredibly dedi-

Musical Ride and Equitation Overview Horses have always been an important part of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. In the early years they were used for transportation, but now they create a world-renowned spectacle that is a living symbol of Canada — the Musical Ride. History The Musical Ride developed from a desire by early members to not only have some fun but to display their riding ability and entertain the local community. As most of the original North West Mounted Police members had a British military background, it was inevitable that the series of figures they performed, and which form the basis of the Musical Ride, were traditional cavalry drill movements. In 1966, recruit equitation was discontinued in the training of new members. Now the horse, the scarlet tunic and the lance of the Musical Ride are among the last links with the Force’s early history. The first known riding display was given in 1876 and the
first Musical Ride performance was held at the Regina barracks in 1887. Regular public performances of the Ride started in 1904 when a troop trained by Inspector Frank Church performed at the Winnipeg, Brandon, Qu’Appelle and Regina fairs. During the 1920s and '30s there were two Musical Rides; one at Regina and one in Ottawa. Today The Musical Ride is based at the RCMP Rockcliffe, Ontario facility and is performed by a full troop of 32 riders and horses. Members of the Ride are first and foremost police officers who, after at least two years of active police work, attend a 5week basic and a 6-month intermediate riding course. Members only stay with the Ride for three years and this ensures an annual rotation of about 33 per cent of the riders. Community Support The Musical Ride is an important tool used to assist RCMP detachments in delivering their
community policing messages. Detachments are always involved with any visit of the Musical Ride. Along with their organizing committee, local officers attend pre-tour meetings with the Ride to act as hosts and to coordinate the enormous task of on-site logistics. Equitation The equitation staff is responsible for the horse breeding program, remount training, equitation courses, ceremonial escorts, parades, displays and of course, the Musical Ride. The Horses The RCMP breeds its horses at Remount Detachment near Pakenham,Ontario. They are 16 to 17 hands high; weigh between 523 kg (1150 lbs.) to 635 kg (1400 lbs.) and up until recently were 3/4 to 7/8 Thoroughbred, the stallions being registered Thoroughbred while the broodmares were part Thoroughbred. In March 1989, Black Hannoverian broodmares and stallions were purchased to improve the horses’ bloodlines. Young horses, called re-
mounts, begin their training at three years of age. When they turn six, they start Musical Ride training and take their first trip. The horses’ saddle blankets bear the fused letters MP (RCMP’s registered brand) in the Force’s regimental colours of royal blue and yellow. The maple leaf pattern adorning the horses’ rumps is created by using a metal stencil and brushing across the lie of the hair with a damp brush.
Quick Facts
• Annually, the Musical Ride helps over 40 communities raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for a number of causes. • Thirty-six horses, 35 riders, a farrier, a sound technician, 3 NCOs and an officer in charge, travel with the Musical Ride. • Besides the riders, 28 regular members,civilian members and public service employees make up the equitation staff.
