Councillors supported a motion at Tuesday evening's special committee-of-the-whole meeting to list Picton Town Hall and the former Picton fire hall for potential sale through a request for proposal process while also inviting alternative proposals for the use of the property.

If approved by council at their Sept. 26 meeting, both sale proposals and alternative use proposals would have a common deadline established to receive offers.

It was an issue that roused a lot emotion and following the committee's decision there were audible groans from the dozens of residents who packed the Shire Hall council chamber.

Councillors had heard a number of impassioned pleas from residents seeking to preserve the building's public ownership and use as an affordable, accessible meeting place in downtown Picton. Close to 20 groups use the building for everything from line dancing to bridge club meetings.

Karate and tai chi classes are held in the hall. It also serves as a meeting place for Food Not Bombs and as a practice space for the Prince Edward County Pipes and Drums band among many other uses.

At a special committee-of-thewhole meeting Tuesday, councillors voted to defer an amended Road Users Agreement (RUA) for wpd’s White Pines Wind Project citing incomplete information.

The motion had been deferred from a July 25 council meeting to Tuesday's special meeting. No date was attached to Tuesday's deferral.

Mayor Robert Quaiff began discussion on the motion, saying he felt the amended agreement was unnecessary.

“We already have an RUA that's been signed, it's on the record,” he said.

He said there are still too many unanswered question surrounding the development. Quaiff said he contacted the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) to try to discern the status of the project's Renewable Energy Approval (REA), but didn't hear back. He contacted the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry to find out whether construction should be taking place at this point, but again didn't get an answer prior to the meeting.

Quaiff said his understanding is there are a couple of amendments to the project's REA that are required, but those could take up to four months to settle. He said those amendments are supposed to include a period for public

ROBERT QUAIFF comment, but said it doesn't look like that will happen.

“For me, there's too much outstanding,” he said. “…There's still a problem and there's going to continue to be problems with the way the aggressive style of wpd, in my opinion, is progressing.”

He said there's been no regard from the developer for the people who have opposed the project from the beginning, nor to the municipality, which has declared itself an unwilling host to turbine projects.

“I see no reason why this needs to be here tonight.”

Councillor Steve Ferguson agreed with Quaiff and supported the deferral. He said the 500 residents in the vicinity of the project would be materially affected for at least 20 years.

Group awaits court ruling on motion to protect its membership from costs before moving forward with its argument that Green Energy Act is unconstitutional

CCSAGE attracts 120 people to fundraising dinner in support of its judicial review CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

There was a capacity crowd at the Waring House Friday night as the County Coalition for Safe and Appropriate Green Energy (CCSAGE) held a fundraising dinner and art auction in support of the group's judicial

review.

With a total of 120 people in attendance, event co-chairs Cynthia Taylor-Huff and Bruce Nicholson were pleased with the level of community support.

Taylor-Huff said a great team of organizers behind the scenes helped make the event a success.

Come on over to the Elks Lodge, 21 Elks Street Picton for a cold beverage and chat.

Branch 78 is operating as a Legion with the help of the Elks and downstairs bar is open from 12 noon ‘til 6pm daily, Saturday from 11:30am ‘til 5pm.

Stay in touch with what is happening.

“It went really well — probably better than I could have expected — just because we're novices and we've never held an art auction,” she said.

There was a strong county theme running through the fundraiser. Each table was decorated with a local motif ranging from rum runners, to agriculture, to wineries. The auction items also tied into that theme, with many paintings depicting local landscapes. Artworks ranged from paintings, to glass work, to wood-turned pieces.

Taylor-Huff said the level of community support was evident Friday.

“It really is very encouraging — it was packed — so that was very nice,” she said.

The fundraiser featured live and silent auctions with artwork donated by local artists, committee members, and other members of the community.

Since they're so often asked to support county causes, TaylorHuff said, local artists were offered a percentage of the proceeds from the sale of their works. However, she said many of them chose to donate outright.

“That was really nice, really generous,” she said.

Nicholson was equally thrilled with the response to the event.

“We were extremely pleased with the attendance, the enthusiasm of those that joined us, and the proceeds on the fundraising silent auction and live auction,” he said. “We were at our capacity for the setup, so

AUCTION ACTION Mary Taylor views some of the auction items during last Friday’s fundraising dinner and art auction hosted by the County Coalition for Safe and Appropriate Green Energy. (Chad Ibbotson/Gazette staff)

we were extremely pleased.”

Nicholson thanked all those who made the event a success.

“I would just like to express my gratitude to the community for their support through attendance, donations, and all other contributions,” he said.

The funds will help CCSAGE offset costs related to its application for a judicial review of the Renewable Energy Approval (REA) for turbines in Athol and South Marysburgh.

The application was filed to the

Divisional Court in Ottawa in November 2015. In June, the group's lawyer, Alan Whiteley, made a motion to protect CCSAGE from any effort to seek costs in the event the group's judicial review is unsuccessful.

CCSAGE are arguing their efforts are in the public interest and should be protected from costs. While Whiteley has offered to work pro bono, there are still costs associated with court filings and other paperwork. Those costs could balloon

if there is a negative ruling on the June motion. As of now, CCSAGE is awaiting that ruling, but it is not known when it might come.

CCSAGE chair Anne Dumbrille said the group's focus is on the Green Energy Act, which she said is seen by CCSAGE as an impediment to the rights of citizens. She said many laws in Ontario — such as the Species at Risk Act — took years to implement, but have been rendered hollow with the stroke of a pen.

“Basically, we just want to draw attention and our goal is to change the Green Energy Act,” she said. “We're not after money from anyone, we're not after anything specific to a turbine company even.

“We're just saying the Green Energy Act is unconstitutional, unfair, and very damaging to rural Ontario citizens and we want it either revoked or modified.”

More than 100 Ontario communities have declared themselves unwilling hosts to industrial wind turbines. Dumbrille said the issues at play in CCSAGE's judicial review are relevant to all of those communities.

Ultimately, she said, many Ontarians are frustrated and angry because they feel green energy developers are able to skirt the rules with minimal input from residents and rural municipalities.

“Frustration is really high, anger is really high,” she said.

“We feel we've been let down by the government.”

South Marysburgh residents tense as wind developer prepares to do work Turbine opponents worry installation of first nine windmills could provide gateway toward future large-scale development within Prince Edward County ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

The atmosphere was tense at the Milford Town Hall Monday as an apprehensive community came to grips that time is running short to keep the south shore turbine free.

At a second public meeting organized by South Marysburgh councillor Steve Ferguson in two weeks, about 60 people heard that developer wpd has marked road entrances for the sites of nine 20.5-megawatt industrial turbines as part of the proposed White Pines Wind Project, moved some equipment into position, and it may have done some land clearing.

They also learned the municipality is running out of tools to stop the development.

The County’s public works commissioner Robert McAuley told the meeting the developer has submitted access permit applications for all the sites, road occupancy applications to improve intersections by widening, and road occupancy applications for wireworks in transmission areas.

He indicated most of the paperwork appears in order and the municipality doesn’t have any reason at this time to cause any delay in the construction process. At this point, the only things the municipality can

“The only tool we have is the authority given to us as a roads authority through the Green Energy Act. We’ve entrenched it in our agreement,” McAuley said.

question are on technical grounds or a breach in the road users’ agreement as on Friday, wpd filed its securities and insurance.

“If we don’t have the (road user’s agreement), what we have is the authority given us as a roads authority, which is very little.”

McAuley said the information he has received suggests the work done by wpd is consistent with the road user’s agreement and that is the deciding factor in what the municipality can officially do.

“Until there is some evidence or proof of something that says they’re violating their contract, I have to act in the spirit of the contract. Otherwise, I expose the County to litigation.”

The project materials are still slated to travel down County Rd. 49, across County Rds. 5 and 6 around Picton, and down County Rd. 10 and County Rd. 24 to Royal Road.

While McAuley stated there is a disagreement in his mind on the transmission line between Milford and the point of connection, thus far the work wpd is doing is compliant. He also noted that the Environmental Review Tribunal’s altering of the Renewable Energy Approval (REA) didn’t change the application in any substance, other than removing turbines south of Royal Road.

The inevitability of the nine turbines being erected is causing frustration for residents.

The significance of even one

going ahead ratchets up concerns.

Mario Panacci says his farm is within a kilometre of one of the proposed turbines. He moved to the county seven years ago, thinking it would be

a perfect site for a vacation home. Now, he says, those plans are on hold. He doesn’t believe for a minute that the nine turbines can be viewed in isolation.

Smith pushes for provincial intervention to halt work on White Pines project ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

Prince Edward-Hastings MPP

Todd Smith wasted no time bringing the White Pines Energy Project into debate at Queen's Park after wpd started related con-

struction activities in the county Wednesday.

During question period Thursday, Smith pushed the government to answer why it hasn't cancelled White Pines, which was reduced from 29 turbines to nine by an Environmental Review Tribunal (ERT) panel in May. Smith charged that the Minister of Energy has often stated Ontario doesn't need any more power — in fact, it has an over-

supply — yet the government did not move to cancel the project on the south shore despite the County declaring itself an unwilling host community.

"Your government even had grounds to kill this project when the environmental review removed more than 60 per cent of its generating capacity recently, removing the number of wind turbines from 29 down to nine in this environmentally sensitive area," he said. "But what did you do? Your government changed the contract for them to allow them to continue and build this unnecessary wind project."

Smith continued on, asking why the government didn't step in to prevent its electricity customers from "another expensive, unreliable, unwanted" project.

Economic development and growth minister Brad Duguid replied stating "the government has prioritized environmental protection as part of our renewable project considerations" and "amended our system significantly over the years to accommodate, as much as possible municipal input."

Duguid responded to jeers from across the aisle by stating his government cares about having a clean future for the province and it cares about the health of each and every Ontarian. He also tried to link climate change to the hurricanes recently hit Texas and Florida, stating that "We're going to do what we need to do to build renewable energy in this

province, because it's the right thing to do."

Smith argued in his supplementary that the government itself has said the turbines are producing unwanted, unreliable, and unnecessary electricity that is driving up skyrocketing energy costs. He also came back to the conclusion of the province's own ERT, noting it called the proposed site "the worn place, for environmental reasons, to locate a wind turbine project."

While Smith said energy minister Glenn Thibeault and the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) have stated that they take a long view on commercial operation dates, often extending them by 18 months, the White Pines project has been delayed far longer.

"This project is behind by more than three years, yet the government has given its rubber stamp and actually made the case that it

should go ahead with less capacity.

This is an unnecessary contract."

Smith also queried whether donations made on five separate occasions from wpd to the Ontario Liberal Party had, in some way, influenced the government to adjust its contract.

Duguid stayed steadfast in his defence, stating the Progressive Conservatives "will go to any lengths to discredit anything we've tried to do over the last dozen years to reform our energy system and remove us from coal to cleaner sources of power."

Given the ravages of the hurricanes down south, Duguid argued Ontario has to do everything it can to reduce climate change — and, in his eyes, renewable energy can do that.

"The leadership we have taken — it's the single greatest climate change initiative during our time. That's getting us off of coal and moving us to cleaner sources of power, like wind. We're proud of that commitment."

Following that exchange Friday, Smith wrote to Ontario's recently installed environment minister, Chris Ballard, Tuesday, to remind him of conditions in the White Pines Renewable Energy Approval (REA) that prohibit vegetation clearing, road construction, and site preparation work within Blanding's turtle habitat between April 30 and October 15.

Highland Shores Children’s Aid once again promoting abuse prevention in October Dukes, Pirates among supporters of The Children’s Foundation as Go Purple hockey games support The Children’s Foundation purple ribbon awareness blitz CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

Highland Shores Children's Aid is once again reminding the public that October is child abuse prevention month.

Highland Shores Children's

Aid records information management supervisor Renée Corbin and The Children's Foundation program co-ordinator Kate Anderson addressed county councillors at last week's committee-of-the-whole meeting.

Each October children's aid

societies across the province host their purple ribbon campaign to raise awareness of the role every community plays in preventing child abuse and neglect.

Corbin said preventing child abuse must be a collective effort.

“We all have a part to play,”

she said. “Community members, professionals, and those who work with children can help by calling Highland Shores Children's Aid if they have concerns about a young person's wellbeing. That can lead to an offer of help to a child or youth and their family.”

Saturday, Sept 30, 2017 In Support of the

Loyalist Humane Society

Child abuse could be physical, emotional, or sexual in nature, Corbin said, while neglect can be more difficult to assess. Neglect could be caused by a failure to meet a child's basic needs, such as food, education, or clothing. It could also a result of inadequate supervision or safe surroundings.

“Neglect is a key factor in 89 per cent of the children who receive services from children's aid societies,” said Corbin.

Child abuse or neglect can have many issues at its core, said Corbin. Families could be struggling with trauma, addiction or mental health. children's aid societies work to keep families together while keeping children safe, she said. Corbin said a provincial study from 2013 found children remain at home in 97 per cent of all investigations through children's aid societies.

Highland Shores Children's Aid and its community partners provide an array of services to families and to children when there are safety or wellbeing concerns. In addition to home visits, child welfare workers help fami-

lies access necessary services such as parenting or treatment programs.

The Children's Foundation is the society's charitable arm and operates offices in Hastings, Prince Edward and Northumberland counties. Anderson said the public can show support for the cause by wearing a purple ribbon or purchasing a purple item from The Children's Foundation. Residents can also attend “Go Purple” hockey games in Quinte West, Picton, Wellington, Cobourg and Port Hope.

Thursday, Oct. 5 is the Picton Pirates' “Go Purple” game, while the Wellington Dukes support the cause at their game on Friday, Oct. 13.

“Officially Tuesday, Oct. 24 is Go Purple Day,” said Anderson.

“It's a chance for everyone to wear their purple swag.”

Purple items to support the cause — including t-shirts, magnets, and pins — can be purchased from The Children's Foundation at the Highland Shores Children's Aid office on MacSteven Drive in Picton.

Indecent act at Wellington beach

On Saturday afternoon, a woman walking along the boardwalk at the Wellington beach observed a peculiar site.

She saw a young man in the bushes committing an indecent act and commented to a nearby young couple about his behaviour. They indicated they might know him from school.

Police were called, but the young man had left the area by the time they arrived. The couple in question and the school they attend was not known.

The suspect was described as a caucasian in his mid-teens about 5’6-5’11 with a slim build.

He had light brown shaggy hair, long on the top ad shaggy on the sides. According to the couple, his name might be “Tom.” The Prince Edward OPP would like to speak with the couple or anyone else with information. Anyone who can help is asked to call 1-888-3101122 or 1-800-222-8477/ -Staff

Model train enthusiasts work to get children on track to keep hobby going young children who visit the show.

“The younger they are, the faster they want [the trains] to go,” Woolhead laughed.

He said even children's shows like Thomas the Tank Engine have generated some spinoff interest in model trains and that's the sort of thing that can generate interest in the hobby show.

“It's a phenomenal train in the industry,” he said. “My own grandson wore out two locomotives, just literally wore them out — they weren't worth taking to the shop to fix.”

There were plenty of young visitors throughout the two-day show.

Railroaders’ annual show brings nearly 1,000 to see layouts CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

It was a busy weekend for model hobbyists.

The Picton Model Railroaders held their 29th annual Picton Model Train and Hobby Show at the Prince Edward Curling Club on Saturday and Sunday. Club president John Woolhead said close to 1,000 people attended throughout the weekend event, which featured model aircrafts, radio-controlled boats, operating railway layouts and more.

“It was a very good train show,” said Woolhead. “I'd like to thank everybody that showed up for our show, because we feel it was a great success.”

While the final figures weren't yet tallied, he said approximately 900 people attended the show.

The event brought together about 18 vendors and 15 displays. There was plenty to see as model railroaders from across the region presented immaculate exhibits with a nearly microscopic level of detail. Woolhead said the show heard positive feedback from both vendors and visitors.

“That's pretty much what it's all about,” he said.

Woolhead said the only significant change at the show this year was increased advertising. He said it's important for the show to generate strong attendance and for vendors to have the best experience possible in order for the show to continue while overall

interest in the hobby has been on the decline.

“If you don't keep getting numbers like that, the show will just fade away,” he said.

While electronic games, tablets and other gadgets have been chipping away at the show's base for some time, Woolhead said there appears to be some recovery. He believes the Picton show continues to be a success thanks to its reputation in the industry.

But for Woolhead, the best part of the show comes in the form of the camaraderie of meeting and conversing with fellow collectors and model railroaders.

“Most of our guys are open

about trains and they like to talk to people,” he said. “It gives us quite a variety — we talk to sixyear-olds and 86-year-olds.”

He said the only way to keep the hobby going and to expand it is to make a connection with the

show on Saturday with her son, three-year-old Aiden. She said the young railroader has a model at home and loves anything with wheels. Berry said he became infatuated with model trains after seeing them at the Napanee Fair.

“He saw a few of the models there and he stood there for 20 minutes watching,” she said. “He could spend an hour watching all these here.”

Overall, Berry said there was a lot to see at the show and was impressed with the detail.

“That's a lot of work they put in,” she said. “You see brokendown trucks and little wheels that have fallen off trucks in the woods — that's a lot of attention to detail.”

COMMENTARY

Councillors set themselves up for difficult decision regarding hall

SHOULD it stand at council later this month, the municipality’s decision to move forward with a request for proposals process for the Picton Town Hall may not be a popular one, but it isn’t the end road for those wishing to keep the building in the public sector.

While some observers suggested councillors had closed minds in turning down requests from the public for more time before that process begins, the process council identified is different from simply declaring the building surplus and selling it. In this situation, all those people with interest in the hall — both those offering public uses and private — will have their chance to submit a proposal. The municipality isn’t bound to accept the best financial offer or any offer moving forward. It seems reasonable to suggest that this is a fair path and that user groups have been galvanized through this ordeal to offer compelling reasons for the County to retain possession of the heritage building.

By moving forward with this process, councillors are also committing that they’re going to examine the future of the Picton Town Hall during this term — a deferral for another six months might have put the consideration extremely close to election time — and they’re willing to let whatever they do stand as an election issue when they return to the polls.

The Picton

With much at stake as voters go to the polls next fall with fresh memories, one would think those around the horseshoe at Shire Hall will want to have good justification for whatever outcome they potentially choose. Are they preservers of local heritage? Have they been good stewards of a difficult financial situation? Have their efforts made downtown Picton a more prosperous place? Ultimately, time will tell, but people will be watching.

Thus far, there has been an impressive showing of public support for retaining the upstairs meeting hall area and there has also been favourable response to establishing a market on the lower level. These models check off a number of social ideals and offer help for some of the Vital Signs objectives that have dovetailed nicely with community development goals.

If proposals supporting those initiatives show a reasonable accounting of dollars as well as leveraged value, they’ll be hard to ignore.

At the same time, private developers should not only be tasked with showing they can provide a boost to the municipal bottom line, they should also be scored for the value their proposal provides the community.

The decision will not be an easy one. This council deserves credit for deciding to take it on themselves. Beyond that, the cheers or jeers are reserved until their final decision. One way or the other, they’ll have to own them.

Stories From Our Past 1937

n Three suspects were apprehended in Brighton after they robbed the Brewers Retail store in Picton and led police on a chase using a stolen car. The suspects exchanged gunfire with Trenton police officers. The men escaped the beer-laden car on foot and were captured by a posse of police offers from several jurisdictions. n The provincial election campaign was set to focus on Picton’s Main Street for a day Liberal premier Mitchell Hepburn and Conservative leader Earl Rowe were to speak at the same time Sept.30 at the Regent and Armouries. n Wellington businessmen entertained with a game of donkey baseball — riding around the base paths after getting a hit.

County libraries are ready for P.A. day Sorbara shows interest in former fire hall

The children of Prince Edward County may have only just gone back to school but the first P.A. day of the year is already on the horizon. On Sept. 29, plan to spend the day at the library with your kids!

We have done our best to plan programs that will appeal to a wide variety of kids, so we hope one of these activities will tickle your fancy.

At the Picton branch, from 10:30 a.m. to noon the Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory will be on hand to teach about all things owl, including the upcoming owl banding activities. This program is perfect for your natureloving children. In the afternoon, the bird theme will continue from 2-4pm, when participants will have the chance to make their own hand-stitched sock puppet owls!

No sewing skills required.

At the Wellington branch, our P.A. day program has been inspired by the huge collection of graphic novels on the library’s shelves. Bring your kids from 10 a.m. to noon to learn about graphic novels, the tools of the trade, and the process for creating their own graphic novels. They’ll have access to a wide range of art materials, including the tools to create digital art, so this program is perfect for your mini Picassos, not to mention anyone who loves Dogman. Perhaps they’ll discover a new love and skill for telling stories through pictures!

The first six weeks will focus on baby sign language, why you might want to use it, and how to teach your little one new signs.

Toddler Time is continuing in Wellington even as we begin offering the program in Picton as well.

On Thursdays at 10:30, bring your little ones for some songs, stories, snacks, and a sometimes-messy craft!

HALL, from page 1

Leslie Smail-Persaud asked the committee to defer a decision for six months to allow residents time to come up with viable alternative plans.

“It has been the hub of the community for over a century, serving various community purposes,” she said.

She said public spaces such as town halls, libraries, and other assets are being sold and privatized across the county. She said these community hubs are continually forced to rationalize their existence and make money.

“They are the glue that binds communities together,” she said.

“Our town hall is a vital community meeting space.”

Rebecca Sweetman reiterated her desire to utilize the lower level of the building to establish a community farmer's market. She said the hall is the best possible venue in Picton and there are a number of municipally-owned spaces being used for such markets throughout the province.

Lifelong agricultural worker Rosalind Adams said there's a growing divide between the working class and the wealthy.

“We're constantly being told decisions that cater to the rich are being made because they generate prosperity,” said Adams. “Why isn't this prosperity translating into public good?”

She said the loss of the hall as a community space would be another step toward the gentrification of Prince Edward County.

A staff report presented to committee Tuesday says the town is available to use 17 hours per day seven days per week. Over a year that translates to 6,188 potential booking hours. In 2016 the hall was utilized a total of 2,108.5 hours — about 34 per cent. The report says the hall operates at a deficit of $64,456 per year after factoring in revenue.

Several of those councillors who supported the motion pointed to the County's finances, indicating a need to weigh all options in a time of increasing infrastructure pressures.

Mayor Robert Quaiff said council has to be cognizant of the municipality's financial obligations. He said seniors represent about 63 per cent of the population of Prince Edward County and they can't keep up with the municipality's rising debt load. He said over the last two terms of council the municipality has borrowed over $11 million while infrastructure needs total about $30 million per year for the next decade. That doesn't include water and wastewater costs, he said.

“It gets to a point where you have to look at options and that's all I'm prepared to do tonight,” said Quaiff.

He said the motion will give council a chance to weigh those options without any obligations.

“At the end of the day, we don't have to accept any of those

SEEKING ALTERNATIVES Rebecca Sweetman was among the many community members who asked council to consider an alternative course of action during Tuesday’s committee meeting. (Chad Ibbotson/Gazette staff)

options when they come back,” he said.

Councillor Treat Hull said the issue is one that obviously incites a lot of passion and concern from residents. He said sale of the building wouldn't necessarily negate its use as an affordable community meeting space. He said one option could see the lower level sold with the municipality retaining ownership of the upper level.

“Why I believe it's of fundamental importance to examine whether we ought to sell it or not is precisely because we have limited resources, but also because we have very important competing social needs,” he said.

He said reviewing the proposals would allow council to see whether affordable community meeting space can be retained while freeing up capital to address pressing social problems such as affordable housing. He said supporting the motion wasn't a commitment to sell the building.

Councillor Jamie Forrester said when council approved the construction of new municipal fire halls, it did so with the understanding that a portion of that capital cost could be offset with the potential sale of the obsolete fire stations. He said an amount of about $500,000 was earmarked within the capital plan for the construction of the new Picton fire station that would be generated through the sale of the former Picton station. He said if council elects not to sell the building, that would represent additional borrowing which — over a 25- or 30-year term — could generate another $500,000 in interest.

“I've seen all sorts of great ideas, but no way for us to pay for this,” he said.

While the majority of councillors supported the motion, there were those who felt residents

should be given greater opportunity to present alternatives. Councillor Lenny Epstein was among those who made that argument.

“Ultimately what we're faced with here is the choice of, do we move down a path where private sale becomes an option or do we invest in the community,” he said prior to the vote.

Councillor Steve Ferguson agreed.

“We do have to be considerate of the taxpayer, I fully understand that, but we have to be considerate of what the hall means to all of these groups and all the residents that use it,” he said.

He put forward an amendment to give all parties six months to create concrete proposals. However, only Epstein and Ferguson ultimately supported the amendment.

Tuesday's discussion follows recent comments from developer Greg Sorbara indicating he would consider making an offer on the building that would preserve the upper-level meeting space.

In a letter to members of county council, Sorbara said as the owner and developer of The Royal Hotel he is very interested in the fate of Picton Town Hall.

“We would be interested in acquiring the fire hall so as to incorporate it into the Royal’s footprint in a way that preserves the historic nature of the building and maintains a component of community use of the second floor meeting areas,” the letter said.

He said neither selling the building nor retaining full public ownership were “entirely satisfactory” and a private/public partnership would be a better option.

However, he said it was too early to say how the hall would fit into current plans and recommended a request for proposal process.

Hospice draws $53,000 from its reserve funds to cover operating expenses Palliative care organization sees increase in memorial donations, looks to engage community with new fundraising events including gala revival in 2018 ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

Prince Edward County rallied to raise enough money to open a residential hospice in 2013, but the community faces an ongoing challenge to sustain its operations from year-to-year.

Speaking at Hospice Prince Edward's annual meeting of members last Wednesday at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, president Peter Matthewman revealed the organization had to draw $53,000 from its reserves to meet operating expenses in the last year.

"While the reserve fund is there to shelter us from 'interesting' years, we must build back those funds to ensure the future of the hospice," Matthewman said.

He indicated that annually, the cost of all of Hospice's programs, including the operation of the residential centre on Downes Avenue and community outreach programs for palliative care and grief support, is just over $324,000. Government funding offers about $100,000 of those costs.

"We need to fundraise $224,000 each year or $18,700 per month," Matthewman concluded.

"That is a significant amount and it is only possible with the generous support from families we have had the honour to serve, their friends, the support of other donors, and the community at

large."

With that in mind, the organization is busy planning fundraising ventures for the year ahead.

Next month, Amherst Island comedian Deborah Kimmett will offer her latest show, "The Year of the Suddenly," and an annual gala at the Highline Hall will be resurrected in February.

In the face of that challenge, however, Hospice has seen a positive response from families that benefit from its services. In her report, fund development and administration co-ordinator Judy Fraser noted memorial donations jumped to 38 per cent of fundraised dollars last year, in comparison to 26 per cent in the previous fiscal year. Some $50,878 were given in memory of those served in the residential centre, while $12,550.79 was contributed in memory of those who were served by Hospice in the community. Fundraising events, including Hike For Hospice, the shreda-thon, and coffee parties contributed $82,125.34, unsolicited donations amounted to $16,013.18, and in-kind contributions were valued at $7448,89.

Using statistics available since Hospice began tracking its services in 2010, executive director Karen Moore believes nearly 500 families have been supported for palliative outreach and bereavement over the past seven years.

Since 2013, the residential home

has accommodated 180 people with 27 of those visits occurring since April.

Residential manager Esther Howard said it's been an eventful year at the home.

"We have had many 'firsts' and broke a few records this year.

Early in the year, we had our longest stay to date — he was her for 96 days," she said. "We celebrated a 100th birthday, listened to a karaoke sing-along, and had a camper trailer parked in our park-

ing lot. A local doctor came to the hospital to do an enucleation (removal of the eyes) as our resident donated them to the Eye Bank of Canada. All of these moments make what we do so amazing."

In the community, according

to service co-ordinator Jane Moon, Hospice volunteers offered 2001.5 hours of palliative outreach, grief, and bereavement support. Another 12 volunteers were trained through a 30-hour program guided by Hospice Palliative Care Ontario.

Moon said over the next 12 months, there will be expanded programs with new training opportunities at the hospice centre and in the Ameliasburgh area.

One new program that is already running is a men's breakfast group that residential assistant John Konning is leading to help men who have lost a wife or partner support one another.

New support programs are also planned in Wellington, with a grief support group in the works with the support of the local United Church, and with efforts taken to offer additional services to the Wellington on the Lake community.

Moore indicated she's also had strong interest from volunteers in offering holistic modalities like reflexology, meditation, and Reiki. Her goal is to build a team to provide that care at no charge to hospice clients.

In her address, Moore

thanked the Hospice staff for their dedication to expand programs and opportunities and maintain a client-first focus. She also thanked volunteers for their efforts to bring quality of life to families, caregivers, and clients with lifelimiting illness. She said under her leadership, the organization will continue to fill that mandate.

"Over the past few months, I have met with staff, volunteers, and community members to gain a sense of how Hospice Prince Edward Can be sustainable now and into the future," she said. "Your message has been clear: To stay focused on our clients, families, and caregivers, yet move forward…"

She continued the moving forward includes striving to become a centre of excellence for palliative care, expanding programs, services, and training, and finding creative solutions to create financial sustainability and build the volunteer base and community connections.

"To move forward, we must continue to be passionate about what we believe in and be open to looking at how we do things from different perspectives," she said.

Councillors hear deputations from members of public opposed to adopting agreement DEFERRAL, from page 1

“I have heard at two town hall meetings the opinions as to what they anticipate coming and it's not a happy scene,” he said. “I cannot and will not support any kind of amendment to something that wpd is just going to go ahead and ignore anyway.”

Chief administrative officer James Hepburn said staff don't believe there would be any added liability in not approving the amended RUA. “Basically wpd is operating under the existing RUA that council passed in July 2016,” he said.

Engineering, development, and works commissioner Robert McAuley said wpd have been submitting documents and other materials consistent with the existing RUA. He said the developer has not breached the existing RUA. “While they have entered onto the property to mobilize some equipment, I would suggest to council that there is no obligation for us to endorse that position or not endorse that position,” said McAuley. “Since they're moving equipment onto private property they believe, under their permissions from those owners and under the approvals of the province's REA — which is not

under our purview to enforce — they have not required permits to do what they're doing. They have stopped short of doing anything that would trigger a breach in the agreement.”

The motion to defer followed deputations from members of the public who urged council not to support the amended agreement.

County Coalition for Safe and Appropriate Green Energy (CCAGE) director John Hirsch said the group opposes the project and council has consistently voted in opposition to the development.

He said there are still outstanding approvals and too many questions to move forward at this point.

“No one even knows at this point whether the transmission lines, for example, are to be run underground or on poles,” he said. “We have no certainty on a major item like that.”

He said a deferral was the only prudent action for council to take.

Cheryl Anderson of the Prince Edward County Field Naturalists said there are many reasons the White Pines project should not happen. She said proposed changes to intersections at Lighthall Road and Royal Road, as well as traffic on Bond Road, Maypul Layn Road, and Royal represent a potential hazard for the endangered Blanding's turtle.

Spring foraging areas are adjacent to turbine construction sites and are intersected by the project’s access roads, she said.

“The travel from the overwintering areas to the spring foraging areas puts the turtles at risk due to the increased traffic from construction and maintenance of the turbine project,” she said.

Anderson indicated the turtles would have to cross Maypul Layn, and likely Royal and Bond roads as well. She said traffic and construction activities should be severely limited on Maypul Layn Road.

The motion will go forward to council on Tuesday, Sept. 26.

Exchange student from Argentina attending PECI Valentina Barbosa follows family tradition of studying abroad ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER

Participation in an international student exchange program might just be a rite of passage in Valentina Barboza’s family.

Her father did it. So did her aunt and uncle. Now, it’s time for the 16-year-old Argentinian to have her turn abroad.

“I guess you can say it’s in my family,” she said.

Barboza said since she was a little girl, she can remember her dad talking to her about his experiences when he lived in Winnipeg as a teenager. He still communicates with a lot of people from the Manitoba capital and even visited brought the family to visit a brother from his host family seven years ago.

A positive impression from that visit cemented Canada as one of Barboza’s choices in the Rotary Youth Exchange Program.

“I really liked Canada. I wanted to come here and in the papers I wrote France, Canada, and Finland,” she said. “I was relieved when they told me I would come here. It’s really nice.”

Thus far, Baboza has found it a bit of an adjustment from her home, Caleta Olivia, a city of 70,000 on in the southern province of Santa Cruz, a port on the San Jorge Gulf beside the Atlantic Ocean. The population of Caleta Olivia is much larger, but Prince Edward County is more spread out.

“I think Picton is big. The distance between houses is bigger and lots of people live in the country,” she said.

Barboza enjoys running and said she really appreciates the beautiful scenery and green spaces here as in her city it doesn’t rain too much, so it isn’t quite as green.

School at PECI is also different than in Argentina. At home, Barboza said students stay in one

classroom and have different teachers coming in to teach. They also learn subjects year-round, as opposed to the semestered schedule here. She also doesn’t have a lunch break at home as students are given three 10-minute breaks.

“The school is really different, but I really like it. i think I learn more here than in Argentina,” she said. “My teachers are really nice and smart, I’ve met a lot of friends, and I like the subjects I have in school.”

For Grade 11, she has a schedule that includes drama, physical education, Canadian history, social sciences, math, English, and international business.

The outgoing student isn’t minding the language, since she has studied English for seven years. She’s excited to get to actually speak it regularly.

“I think my English is better than when I arrived here,” she said. “I studied the (grammar), but not speaking. Here, I can practice that and it’s better.”

Some cultural norms are different, too. Barboza said she’s still getting used to the custom of taking shoes off when entering someone’s home.

The friendliness of Canadians has also taken some getting used

to early on. Barboza remembers a visit to a cottage with her host parents, Suzanne Gould and Kevin Wilton, who live in Demorestville.

The family went to visit with neighbours they didn’t really know all that well. Barboza said she thought they were just going to say hello, but the neighbour ended up preparing a meal for

them and everyone was really friendly.

“That surprised me. People are so nice with everyone. Even if it is someone you don’t know, “ she said. “It’s not something that you’d normally see.”

Barboza says she’s come to love Canadian foods, though there are some staples from Argentina that are missing. The country is known for its meats — though Barboza said she’s not a huge meat eater — and it also boasts a dessert delicacy called dulce de leche, which has a sweet, caramel flavour. She brought a supply of that north.

“I know I can’t eat it all now,” she said. “I need that for one whole year.”

Barboza said her favourite activities include playing sports and trying different sports. Right now, she’s suiting up for the PECI Rugby Panthers. She also likes to draw and paint, read, listen to music, and spend time with her friends.

One of her favourite pastimes since coming to Prince Edward County has been to spend time with family. She and her host sister Mary-Kate have become close.

Creasy earns Spirit of Hospice Award for her ongoing commitment to palliative care HOSPICE, from page 11 Wednesday's meeting was the first under Hospice's new bylaws, which established conditions for membership. Matthewman said the process of scrutinizing credentials was well received.

Also that night, Hospice took time to recognize some key people who have helped its program over the years.

The Spirit of Hospice Award is given annually to an outstanding volunteer who exeplifieds community service and exemplifies Hospice’s mission of supporting

the journey of living with dying, thus improving overall quality of life. This year, Marion Creasy was chosen for the honour.

Creasy has been involved with Hospice since before its beginning — she was involved with Help for the Bereaved, COPE, the Palliative Care Asso-

ciation and the current Hospice Prince Edward.Fraser indicated she “continually demonstrates exemplary initiative and creativity” and “ has been an exceptional inspiration and role model” to many.

Creasy has been instrumental in fundraising and budgeting.

She kept meticulous records and, in 1998, she helped Hospice run a $30,000 program despite only having $10,000 in funding.

Over the years, she’s compiled statistics, handled correspondence, organized board members and volunteers, run a resource lending library, and

served as a community spokesperson on many occasions. In 1999, she became an office administrator and a program assistant.

“Generosity is this Marion’s forte. She has given freely of her time, talent, financial support, and has even offered up her beautiful, peaceful lakeside property for us to honour our volunteers and celebrate our successes,” Fraser indicated.

Hospice also recognized volunteers for benchmarks as follows: Margaret Stoddard (10 years), Sharon Mulridge, Marianne Malachowski, and Rebecca McKellar (five years).

Sticking with the recognition theme, Matthewman announced that in November, Hospice will honour key donors who helped build the foundation of its programs with a special donor wall called “Tree of Life.”

The next day following the meeting, Hospice hosted an open house tour and luncheon designed to familiarize people with the residential care centre.

Fraser said it’s hard to do such events when families are using the facility, but on this occasion, they were able to pull an event together to help raise public awareness for Hospice programming and fundraising requirements.

A steady stream of people walked through the building and some even reached into their wallets to give donations..

Corn was provided by Laundry Farms and cooked by Hospice volunteers. The Picton Metro store also helped by providing hot dogs and condiments, cooking instruments, and a tent for performers The Frere Bros. to entertain.

Murray Lupenette, the store manager who recently returned to Picton after 15 years out of the community felt it was important to support the organization.

“My wife and I have had recently a good friend come through hospice and a relative as well,” he said. “Enough people don’t know about (Hospice care).

“It’s important getting the age we’re getting. It’s not like the old days when my wife grew up here.

This was all young, big families.

Now we’re getting into seniors and retirement and we really need something like this here.”

Lupenette said he envisions opportunities for his business to help Hospice in the future with events right in the grocery store.

Snowman on to-do list for Barboza EXCHANGE, from page 13

She also still keeps in contact with her family at home, speaking to them about three times a week.

“I like to talk with them about all the things I do here,” she said.

Over the next year, Barboza will be trying to cross off items on her to-do list. Some involve travel and others relate to having a Canadian experience.

She said she’d like to see the difference between smaller towns like Picton and larger cities like Toronto. A return trip to Winnipeg and a chance to explore Vancouver are also on her wish list.

Winter activities are a priority.

“I want to try to build a snowman. I’ve never done that. the guys here told me it’s popular in winter,” she said. “I also want to have Christmas in the winter. In Argentina, when it is Christmas, we are in summer. I see Christmas with snow in the movies and I have never lived like that, so I think it’s going to be something nice.”

Barboza has skied before and enjoyed it, so she’d also like to see some of the bigger mountains that Canada is known for.

Looking ahead to her future, she said she hasn’t entirely decided what career she’ll pursue, but it will be something social — which is fitting for a student that can pick her whole life up and move to a foreign country.

“I want to be a lawyer, or study international relations, or I think I’d like to study political science or be a journalist,” she said.

For now, Barboza is just grateful for this new opportunity to learn.

“I really want to say thank you for Rotary for the opportunity they’ve given to me. They’re doing something awesome, I think,” she said. “I want to say thank you to my family, they are really nice to me. I really like the city and all the people. Thank you to all the community of Picton.”

“The ministry had planned to issue additional orders regarding stormwater concerns however this was no longer necessary because Picton Terminals is doing the work voluntarily and has applied for an ECA,” Davidson wrote in an e-mail.

Earlier this summer, the Gazette was provided a report drafted by MOECC Eastern Region district engineer Robert Putzlocher.

As part of a series of orders handed to Picton Terminals by the MOECC last fall in an effort to monitor and eventually mitigate salt-water runoff, a quarterly site monitoring program was undertaken through both deep and shallow monitoring wells that would provide the ministry an idea of the impact of stormwater runoff both at the site of the salt storage pads as well as deep (20 to 25 metres) below the ground and bed rock surface.

In terms of impact, all upgradient or cross-gradient wells showed no concentrations above site standard criteria at shallow or deep intervals.

However, in down-gradient wells, there were exceedences of sodium and chloride as well as findings of elevated concentrations of free cyanide, arsenic,

cobalt, selenium and other materials.

In his report, Putzlocher concluded the first quarter results of the monitoring program indicate “Significant road salt impacts to groundwater at the site” and all of the parameters with concentrations above applicable standards, or that are elevated, are associated with road salt - either as a material component or as secondary impact.

In addition to these findings in May and as part of the provincial officer's orders, Putzlocher also submitted an environmental site assessment of a neighbouring property in June as part of a remediation plan and soil and groundwater quality monitoring program.

The sampling results indicate that both soil and groundwater in the area of investigation are impacted by activities at the Picton Terminal property and are in exceedances of applicable MOECC standards.

In terms of soil testing, Parameters exceeding standards include electrical conductivity, Sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR) and free cyanide. SAR is a measure of the physical condition of a soil and a high SAR renders soil unsuitable for agricultural purposes.

It was Putzlocher's findings that all of these elevated parameters can be attributed to contact

with road salt impacted water – either through surface drainage or shallow groundwater.

“The area of impact to soils has not been fully delineated,” he added in his report.

Results of groundwater sampling show exceedances of applicable MOECC standards at two of three monitoring wells.

Parameters exceeding standards include chloride, sodium, cobalt and selenium and all of these elevated parameters are associated with dissolution of road salt.

“Any proposed remediation actions will need to include measures to prevent continued impacts on the property from surface water flow and shallow groundwater migration,” Putzlocher concluded.

In light of these findings, MOECC project co-ordinator Lindsay Robertson confirmed to the Gazette July 21 that “Ministry staff are preparing an additional provincial officer’s order that requires Picton Terminals to remediate a neighbouring property and implement measures to reduce potential impacts from surface water runoff.”

“The ministry is also working with Picton Terminals’ owners to better manage the salt on the property and the associated runoff,” Robertson said.

Dukes go to overtime in four of their first five season games Going into Day 2 of Governor’s Showcase, Wellington hadn’t lost in regulation time JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER

If this is the type of hockey the Wellington Dukes are going to be offering over the next five months, local fans are due for a treat.

And maybe a check up with their cardiologist.

Through their first five games to start the 2017-2018 Ontario Junior Hockey League campaign, the Dukes were required to play overtime in four contests.

On Tuesday night in Buffalo at the OJHL Governor's Showcase, the club played a back-and-forth affair with North York where Wellington fought back three times to tie the Rangers and force an extra session.

Facing deficits of 1-0, 2-1 and 32, Dukes forwards Jackson Arcan, Andrew Rinaldi and Mitch Martan all scored for the locals.

Despite outshooting the Rangers 8-2 in the combined fouron-four and three-on-three overtime periods, it was the Blueshirts who emerged victorious, scoring with just 16 seconds left in the contest.

The regulation tie meant Wellington (2-0-3) went into their second Governor's Showcase contest last night against the Toronto Junior Canadiens undefeated in games through 60 minutes of play and are the only team in the East Division able to make that claim.

On Sunday, Wellington was in Markham for a battle royale with the Royals and escaped with a 4-3 double overtime win.

Wellington led 2-1 after one and could have had a handful of goals if their shooting sights were slightly straighter.

“It was unfortunate we didn't have a larger leader and give (the Royals) credit for pushing back and putting us on our heels,” Wellington Dukes general manager and associate coach Ryan Woodward said Monday.

In the second, the Royals counted a pair to take a 3-2 lead into the second intermission but it was Wellington that would be the only team to tally in the final stanza.

Down a goal, Jesse Kestenbaum found Rinaldi for the Montreal native's third effort of the season and make it a 3-3 game.

After the four-on-four period solved nothing, Martan and Arcan found Eric Uba with just 15 seconds left in the second miniovertime period and Wellington picked up their first extra session win of the season.

Martan and Arcan scored in the opening frame and starter Pierce Nelson made 46 stops to pick up his second win of the season.

While it was a sizable crowd of friendly faces flocking back to the DukeDome on Friday evening, the Dukes didn't exactly put their best foot forward in the opening frame, surrendering four Kingston tallies in the opening 20 minutes.

Andrew Suriyuth's seeing-eye shot victimized Wellington starter Creed Jones at 2:25 and Danny Reidel's effort just over 20 seconds

later caromed off a skate to stake the Vees to an early 2-0 lead.

Arcan's power play effort at 6:49 got Wellington back into the game but Kestenbaum's double minor at 12:46 provided Kingston with a pair of power-play opportunities on which they capitalized.

Jones was lifted in favour of Pierce Nelson after the fourth Kingston goal.

“There was some inconsistency in our game and I think every team struggles with it at the start of the season,” Woodward said. “There might have been a little bit of nerves playing in front of a great crowd.”

Afforded a chance to take a breath and regroup, Wellington looked like a completely different team in the second stanza and, as a result, so did the Voyageurs Keegan Ferguson found Uba at the side of the net in the seventh minute to give the Dukes life.

At 12:25, it was Alec Tiley feeding Jeff Burridge for a power-play goal to draw Wellington to within one.

Just over a minute later it was Rinaldi turning on the jets to gain time and space before he ripped a snap shot past Kingston starter Jeremy Wasson to make it a 4-4 tie.

In the span of just over 20 minutes, the locals had given the Wellington faithful and eyeful of what many veteran hockey watchers observed during training camp.

“There's a lot of firepower in our line-up and some very high skilled individuals,” Woodward commented. “The challenge right now is learning to play with structure on both sides of the puck. We are certainly are getting a lot of shots on net but tightening up defensively is being preached on a daily basis.”

the third but it certainly wasn't for lack of chances.

Nelson saved his finest moment for a sequence midway through the frame when he was left to his own devices and had to make two ten-bell saves back-toback to keep the game knotted.

Kingston's captain Rob Clerc took a horrendous penalty behind the Wellington goal line with under two minutes to play and the Dukes nearly ended it on the man advantage as a volley hit the Voyageur cross bar and bounced up and away from the net.

Wellington would yet another opportunity as Kingston headed to the sin bin in overtime but the young Dukes couldn't generate much by way of prime scoring opportunity thanks to an all-handson-deck effort by the Vees.

Wellington finally got whistled in early stages of the second overtime and it wasn't long before Blair

Battochio found Austin Grzenia at the side of the net with time and space to beat Nelson for the first time since the Belleville native came on in relief in the first period.

“Overall, we were happy with the character the team showed in bouncing back and pushing that game to overtime,” Woodward said.

In terms of the home opener and the crowd of well over 500, Woodward said the organization was thrilled by the support.

A great number of those fans arrived early and took part in the tailgate part just outside the Dukes dressing room and the music being played by the Far Side wafted into the sacred stalls of the Wellington war room.

“There was outstanding support and a lot of new and old faces in the crowd,” Woodard said.

“Players could hear them prior to the game as the sound carried into the rink. The arena came alive when we made our push in the second and it was great for our players to see that hockey matters here.

We have the best fans in the league and we want to put our best foot forward and honour them.”

Wellington took on Jack McBain and the Toronto Jr. Canadiens last night after press time.

The son of former NHLer Andrew McBain is expected to be an early NHL draft pick in 2018. It's expected a great number of NHL, OHL and NCAA scouts would be watching the contest.

Pirates bolster back end with acquisitions of veteran defenders Scott, Katchuik Season opener delayed due to Zamboni problem in Amherstview CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

There will be more new faces in the lineup as the Picton Pirates take the ice in their home opener tonight.

The Pirates announced last Thursday they have acquired Prince Edward County resident Matthew Scott from the Napanee Raiders for a player development fee. The 6'4, 1997-born defenceman played 19 games for the Raiders last season, collecting 16 points and 12 penalty minutes.

Prior to joining Napanee, Scott spent two seasons with the Junior B Kitchener Dutchmen.

Pirates general manager Chris Masterson said Scott will bring a physical presence on the back end.

“Certainly, net-front presence is something we need in our own

end and he brings that for sure,” he said. “He's pretty skilled with the puck and he has lots of experience and leadership — we're hoping he brings all of that to us.”

The club has also welcomed aboard defenceman Kelsey Katchuik, who played 41 regular season games and six playoff contests for the Kirkland Lake Gold Miners of the NOJHL last season.

Masterson said the 1997-born defender with add further experience to the lineup.

“He'll help a great deal,” he said.

The club also announced last week that defenceman Matthew Panetta and forward Jacob Murphy had been traded to the Raiders in exchange for cash.

Masterson said both players are to attend post-secondary school in Kingston this fall and transportation was an issue.

“We obviously didn't want to lose either player,” said Masterson. “…You get in a situation where if it makes the kid's life a

little bit easier and they're maybe not going to be as effective for you or be able to attend as much because of transportation or distance, then it just made more

sense to see what we could get.”

The trade has been in the works since June and there was a lot of back and forth with Napanee's front office prior to last

week's trade announcement, said Masterson. He said losing Panetta isn't ideal — he was a top defenceman for Picton last season — but Scott is a more-than-capable defender.

In terms of what the deals mean for the D corps overall, Masterson said that remains to be seen.

“We're eager to get underway to see exactly what we do have,” he said.

The club feels its experience and veteran presence will be a strength in goal and on defence this season, while Picton brass are still seeking another body up front.

“We're still on the lookout for a forward to add and hopefully something comes through in the near future,” said Masterson.

The Pirates were to start their season on the road in Amherstview on Sunday. However, that game was postponed due to mechanical issues with the Amherstview Zamboni. Instead,

the club will hit the ice tonight for their first contest of the season.

They'll be taking on the Port Hope Panthers, a team that Masterson said has already established a high level of play early in this young PJHL season.

“They've already shown this year in their two games that they score goals in bunches,” he said Tuesday. “If they score a goal we can't let them pick up momentum.”

He said the Pirates will have to play solid defence while pressuring the Panthers' D-men.

“We're going to have our work cut out for us, but this division — this league — should be pretty wide open this year,” said Masterson. “There are four or five teams that are really going to battle it out for those playoff spots and we're one of them. Thursday night is important to get off to a good start.”

The Pirates take on the Panthers tonight at 7:30 at the Huff Estates Arena.

Milford Fair allows community to return to its rural roots for a day Leading citizens earn Murray Clapp awards CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER

It was an opportunity to reconnect with rural roots and that's just what many county residents did during Saturday's Milford Fair.

Sherry Nelson was among those who attended the event Saturday morning. She said she brought her daughter because it's important for kids to have a connection to rural life.

“We want them to have some culture,” she said.

While her daughter initially balked at attending the fair upon hearing there weren't rides, Nelson assured her there was plenty to do.

“There are lots of fun things to do otherwise,” she said. “It's hard, they're so used to everything being mechanical.”

Nelson said it was a chance for children to get back to their roots.

“They're so busy in their lives, they just need to remember where it all started,” she said. “It's fun and good fun.”

Milford fair board president Steve Ferguson said that's the sort of thing the Milford Fair strives to do. The fair may not have a ferris wheel, rides, or a traditional midway, but has set itself apart in embracing that fact. That connection to rural life was the basis for the fair since its inception in 1946 and is something people seem to gravitate toward today, he said.

“What the fair is envisioned to be is a community event where people can get together and meet people they know, they can meet people they don't know,” he said.

“Kids can come and learn how to do things that they might not otherwise be able to do; building birdhouses for example. Those are the types of activities that we

want people to come and experience.”

With plenty of sunshine in the forecast Saturday, residents seemed to come out in droves. A significant crowd looked on as the annual parade marked the start of the day and the Milford Fairgrounds were bustling as Mayor Robert Quaiff officially opened the fair.

Ferguson said attendance was up significantly this year as the last several fairs have been marred by inclement weather.

Vendors seemed happy and the number of exhibits entered were well above where they have been, he said.

“It was fabulous,” said Ferguson. “There was greater participation from the community and, overall, I'd venture to say more people from outside South Marysburgh came down.”

Ferguson personally spoke with several visitors who were experiencing the fair for the first time. He said several of them indicated regret for not having attended in past.

“They couldn't believe they had never been to the fair,.”

Asked why, apart from the

weather, this year's fair seemed to be so successful, Ferguson said there was much wider distribution of the fair book which lists all the day's events. He said there was also an online presence for the fair, which helped.

Each year a selection committee consisting of Joyce Minaker, Leona Head, and Glendon Walker chooses a number of community members to be honoured with Murray Clapp Memorial Citizenship Awards. The honours are presented during the fair's open-

who contributed their time and effort to make the fair the success it was. He said a group of about 15 volunteers begin to meet in April and continue to meet until about two months after the fair.

“The input of all of those people is what makes the fair the fair,” he said. “It would not be what it is without the dedication of so many volunteers.”

He said the fair board is always looking for new volunteers and invited anyone with an interest to get involved.

“Those new volunteers, they bring new ideas and different ways of looking at things that have allowed the fair to evolve over the years,” he said.

Edith Roblin

June 9, 1925 - September 21, 2011 In loving memory of our mother Edith who passed away six years ago…

As we look back over time We find ourselves wondering...

Did we remember to thank you enough For all you have done for us?

For all the times you were by our sides To help and support us...

To celebrate our successes To understand our problems And accept our defeats?

Or for teaching us by your example, The value of hard work, good judgement, Courage and integrity?

We wonder if we ever thanked you For the sacrifices you made, To let us have the very best?

And for the simple things Like laughter, smiles and times we shared?

If we have forgotten to show our Gratitude enough for all the things you did, We’re thanking you now.

And we are hoping you knew all along how much you meant to us.

John, Margaret, Wayne, David, Rhonda, Faye and families.

Edith Roblin – our Grandmother If flowers grow in heaven, Lord Then pick a bunch for us.

Place them in our Granny’s arms And tell her they’re from us.

Tell here that we love and miss her And when she turns to smile, Place a kiss upon her cheek And hold here for awhile.

Robert (Bob) Mauro

March 15, 1941 - September 14, 2017 It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Bob Mauro, on Thursday September 14th, 2017. Anyone who knew Bob knew that he was truly larger than life. Bob led a full and accomplished life surrounded by family and friends who loved him for his charisma, his devilishly sharp wit, and his huge heart. It was his huge heart that quickly and painlessly gave out on him on a beautiful September day, shortly after returning from his morning walk with Kilty, his beloved west highland terrier, at his lakeside cottage in Prince Edward County.

Bob had a lust for life and enthusiasm that was evident in everything he did, whether it be singing karaoke to one of his favourite Louis Armstrong tracks, playing a round of golf with friends, or helping out someone in need. He was selfless, generous, and his work for the communities in which he served was legendary. Bob never wavered in commitment to the innumerable organizations he supported across home and abroad.

Locally he was very active including being a longstanding member and Board member of the Picton Golf Club and he was also instrumental in the start up of 99.3 County-FM. It is impossible to guess how many lives Bob has touched in his 76

This beautiful cemetery offers options to meet everyone’s preference: Traditional and Green Burials, Cremation Burials, and Cremation Scattering.

years, but it is safe to say that he will be sorely missed by all of them.

Bob was one of 13 Children born to Paul and Agatha Mauro who immigrated from Italy in the early 1900s. Paul had a plumbing business and Bob learned the trade when he was young before venturing out and building a long and successful career in marketing – at Fabergé where he met his beloved Liz, in the Canadian music industry where he held major media and marketing positions, and in the auto industry where he was a longtime marketing director for Maaco Systems. Bob loved start-up and turn-around business challenges and had done numerous of each, with some very praiseworthy results, from a marketing and sales prospective, both hands on and as a consultant.

Bob’s siblings were Frank, Joe, and John Mauro, Connie Rosetti, Rose, Irene, Rita Benedet, Beatrice St. Jean, Doris McKnight, Margaret Phillips, Angela Alberts, and Anita Curtola.

Bob leaves behind his cherished family; his stepson and daughter-inlaw, Jamie & Connie Forrester, and grandsons Calvin (Jennifer Garner), and Brett (Evan Farkash), as well as many nephews and nieces.

The love of Bob’s life was his wife Liz (nee Lowes) and after three years apart, they are now rightfully together again.

In lieu of flowers and in the spirit of Bob, people are invited to pay it forward and give to causes or individuals that need help, as he would have.

Bob’s wishes were that there be no funeral. Please join in a “celebration of life” for Bob Mauro, Sunday Sept 24th, 4pm at the Picton Golf Club.

Fifth Town captures five International Cheese Awards Bertozzi family rebuilds Cressy dairy, installs local cheese maker JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER

The last operating cheese factory in Prince Edward County is crafting a new name and direction for itself after capturing a series of medals at a prestigious cheese show and competition in England this summer.

Fifth Town Artisan Cheese Company in North Marysburgh won five medals at the 2017 International Cheese Awards in Nantwich, England in late July.

Held annually since 1897, the ICA program attracts over 5,800 competitive entries in over 260 different categories for both U.K. and international cheeses.

Fifth Town Buffalina, a water buffalo firm gouda-style cheese was a gold medal winner at the prestigious competition while the local cheese making company won silver for its signature washed rind goat's milk cheese Cape Vessey.

Other silver medal winning efforts included Truffalo, a water buffalo truffle style gouda cheese and Where the Buffalos Roam, a standard washed rind water buffalo cheese.

Finally, Fifth Town's Lemon Fetish, a Feta style sheep's milk cheese made with fresh lemon rinds and lemon juice was bronze medal winner.

Add these awards to impressive Royal Winter Fair Grand Reserve Championships in 2016 (Truffalina) and 2015 (Engarde Bongarde) and Fifthtown is repre-

senting Prince Edward County well at both the national and international stage.

Patricia Bertozzi owns the last remaining operational cheese factory in Prince Edward County with her brother Dr. Hugo Bertozzi.

Patricia Bertozzi told the Gazette Tuesday she was thrilled when entries from Fifth Town stood out amongst the best in the world this summer in England. “We were really excited because we've worked hard the artistic director stĂŠphane lemelin

last five years to reach this level,� she said.

The Bertozzi family purchased the factory out of receivership and spent two years essentially rehabilitating the facility to bring it back to a state where it could be licenced to produce cheese again.

Bertozzi explained the waste management system was revamped and company dealt with and developed staffing including a head cheese maker in county native Chad Peterson.

“Here was this young man who had very little cheese-making experience that we trained with help from a consultant and within two years, he's winning awards at the Royal Winter Fair,� Bertozzi said.

Peterson's father Carm and Ben Holmes rounds out the cheese-making staff at Fifth Town.

In terms of sourcing milk for their selection of award winning cheeses, Fifth Town relies on herd of water buffalo near Stirling and a goat farm north of Kingston.

In the absence of locallyproduced cow's milk cheese after the cessation of production at Black River, Fifth Town has ramped up production on cow's milk cheeses from nearby county dairy producer Jean McCornock.

Bertozzi works in the cheese importation business and comes from a family of cheesemakers in Parma, Italy.

She said the interest in buying and rebuilding Fifth Town originated in staying true to the principles of quality and a desire to forge a brand. “We really wanted to get back to our roots of making cheese. We are working with a lot of family owned and operated farms and dairies in Europe and there's a care and focus on quality of the cheeses we import. We had a desire to make the same type of quality product here in Canada while staying true to old-fashioned values and methods,� she added.

Audience members discuss possibility of civil disobedience during information meeting WIND, from page 3

“This is a position issue, it’s not a renewable energy issue at all.

This is about where you put these things and what kind of technology you use,” he said. “ have over two decades in this business — wire lines and wireless. This is not about nine turbines, trust me. I know how these companies operate. This is about going to 90 turbines. This is the foothold. We didn’t win anything.”

Panacci continued that the proposed transfer station can handle 60 turbines now. He said if it was solely about producing

power, there are other options.

“They could easily go to solar, 30-40 acres, very close to the transfer station,” he said. “There’s enough land, people would lease them the land and there’d be no height problem, no harsh lights, and no infrasound.”

He added it isn’t just a problem for the immediate residents surrounding the project in South Marysburgh.

“This is going to affect not just the 500 people. This will affect tourism. Nobody is going to come to this whole side of the county because this is going to be viewed as the factory.

They’re going to hang out in

Hillier, they’re going to hang out in Wellington, and the county will still operate but this is the gateway. I really do have concerns. I really think wpd wouldn’t be putting all this effort in for nine turbines.”

He commended his fellow residents for the fight they’ve put up however.

“Everybody tried their best.

It’s just the cast of a government that doesn’t want to listen to local concerns. Where’s the democracy?”

Questions abounded about ways the community might be able to delay the project. Some asked whether the municipality

had been in touch with the Ministry of Natural Resources given that the REA for the project states no construction can occur until after Oct. 15 due to Blanding’s turtle habitat protected by the Endangered Species Act. Mayor Robert Quaiff indicated the County has been in contact and Ferguson said MNR officials were in the ward Monday.

Another member of the audience wondered if landowners might be able to pull together to buy out one of the leaseholders and effectively limit the project’s production capacity. Ferguson said he understood the contracts — which aren’t public — were airtight, with wpd holding first option on lands.

Gillian Parker said she’d already conceded the nine turbines would be built. Her concern was how the community could stop additional turbines.

Cheryl Anderson said County council could act to designate areas to be preserved.

“Yes, there is a way to address it — that is for County council to decide areas of the county they want to preserve.

My suggestion… is that the whole south shore is special and that it should be preserved now to ensure we have a way to never, ever allow development there. That may not be the only place in the county that needs to be preserved. Let’s think of some long-term plans setting aside those special places. That needs to start with planning at County council.”

McAuley disputed that the municipality has any power beyond what residents have already done to limit turbine projects.

STEVE FERGUSON

“The Green Energy Act as it is currently right now has taken away all these tools. All zoning is irrelevant when it comes to the Green Energy Act.” Other legal actions appear to be fruitless also. Judicial review applications by CCSAGE, challenging the Green Energy Act on Charter grounds; and by Liz Driver and Edwin Rowse, using the Ontario Heritage Act are still before the courts. Efforts since Ferguson’s first meeting to seek legal opinions on whether the Frustrated Contracts Act applies to the project have also produced dead ends.

Doug Parker suggested community members might have to take prevention into their own hands.

“Have there been any rumours or suggestions at all about civil disobedience here?

Organizing in front of the equipment and risking the OPP hauling people away?

“I’m just wondering of some of the old-growth forests where people have stood in front of the

machines that came in to take them down. In the long run, does it achieve anything? It would mean you could maybe satisfy your conscience, anyway, that you’ve done something to stop this kind of corporate bulldozing.”

Ferguson shut down that discussion, noting he hadn’t heard of any such plans and that discussions were beyond the scope of the meeting.

Quaiff indicated he personally remains committed to halting the project.

“I have had as many conversations as you can possibly imagine, doing everything in my will to get this project stopped. I am, in my own personal opinion disgusted,” Quaiff concluded. Disgusted, that as councillor Ferguson has said, we started out with 38, you got nine eliminated from Gilead, then 29 came through wpd and two were eliminated.

The ERT happened and 18 more were eliminated. That leaves it at nine. At the back of my mind, I’m still wondering: Is this still financially sustainable to proceed with all the finances it’s going to take them, or is this a form of punishment because of all the efforts you have been successful in doing?”

After the meeting, Ferguson said he felt his mandate to share information was satisfied. He added the municipality is not throwing in the white flag.

“It’s worth noting there’s been no abdication of our responsibility or giving up on this. We’re going to continue to look under every stone, under every branch, and up those sleeves to find any kind of way out of this.”

The MPP concluded "this week wpd began activities similar to those envisioned…"

He called on Ballard to uphold assurances he received in May from previous minister Glen Murray that the government would uphold the appli-

cable legislation.

"We issue Renewable Energy Approvals for a reason.

Ontarians and, residents of Prince Edward County specifically in this case, should be able to trust that when the government issues permits and approvals, they will be obeyed to the letter."

Basketball Panthers tune up at Gord Smith Tournament

Both PECI basketball teams got some much-needed preseason court time at the Gord Smith Tournament in Belleville last weekend.

The seniors opened with a 4024 win over Centre Hastings.

Vanessa Willis led all scorers with 16, while Lydia Snider chipped in eight and showed she was ready to step in at the low post and take

control of the game.

The second game was a rematch of last year’ Bay of Quinte final. Following three back-and-forth quarters, the Panthers outscored the St. Theresa Titans 19-7 in the fourth quarter to win 54-38. Willis had 20 points, Chloe Marshall had 11, and Jessie Swackhammer added eight.

The juniors gave Nicholson

fits with their full-court press in an opening 61-31 win. Hannah Goad had 16 points and Gracie Burris and Emma Brady seven.

In their second game, they fell to a strong St. Theresa Titans team 49-19. Emily Wight led with seven points.

The fourth time may have been the charm for the Sandbanks Music Festival.

The all-day event benefitted from nearly idyllic conditions, sold 700 tickets, and featured eight Canadian bands â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the most the show has featured to date. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was amazing,â&#x20AC;? said organizer Dave Ullrich. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Starting with the weather, you just couldn't beat it â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it was a perfect day.We had a sold-out show, the bands played great.â&#x20AC;?

cult in inclement weather. There was no danger of that this year as the sun shone from dawn to dusk with temperatures reaching into the high 20s most of the day.

From an experience standpoint, he said visitors â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the majority of whom travelled from outside of Prince Edward County to see the show â&#x20AC;&#x201D; had a chance to see Sandbanks Provincial Park at its very best. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sandbanks beach is such a gem, really in Canada and the world,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To see it shining like that that day was really great.â&#x20AC;?

He said there was a unique, laid-back vibe throughout the day as patrons wandered from the

park amphitheatre toward the row of craft beer and local food options, on to the sandy dunes, and back again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They'd watch the show, they'd go out to the beach and swim a bit â&#x20AC;&#x201D; there were people coming back in still in their bathing suits, still wet â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and we've never seen that before, so that was really fun,â&#x20AC;? he said.

All the while the bands belted out the soundtrack of the day, moods and styles shifting, creating an atmosphere that any Canadian music fan would want to experience, Ullrich said.

A total of eight bands played between the show's opening at 2 p.m. and the closing performance which began at 8. Things kicked off with Peterborough's The Lonely Parade, shifting to Montreal's Lydia KĂŠpinski, and on to fellow Montreal act Solids.

Toronto bands Vallens and By Divine Right ushered in the evening hours, followed by Ullrich's own band, The Inbreds, in a reunion performance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We don't play much, ever really, since we stopped playing in 1998; so this was kind of a rare show,â&#x20AC;? Ullrich said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had people coming from all over the place â&#x20AC;&#x201D; some people came from New York, some people came from Minneapolis to come up and say hello â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they drove all the way just to see this show, so that was cool.â&#x20AC;?

Stormwater plan yet to be posted to EBR web site

BELTING OUT THE CLASSICS

Festival supports Friends’ projects MUSIC, from page 1

SALT, from page 16

This collaboration appears to be at the crux of a proposed covering building that will shield the road salt used in winter driving applications in the Eastern Ontario region from stormwater events in the late summer and fall when the site is used as a storage site for municipalities and winter maintenance companies.

Davidson confirmed all requirements of the order issued to Picton Terminals last fall were complied with and there have been no further orders issued.

The Stormwater Management Works Environmental Compliance Approval (ECA) which is required for the management of stormwater runoff at the site has been submitted to the MOECC but has yet to be posted to the Environmental Bill of Rights (EBR) Registry web site for public notice and comment.

Davidson said ECAs are posted to the EBR and can be posted for between 30 to 60 days depending on the nature of the approval.

Harpsichordist McNabney returns to festival tomorrow

The Prince Edward County Classical Music Fesetival will welcome Melisande McNabney back to perform tomorrow as it enters its final weekend.

McNabney will be replacing fellow harpsichordist Luc Beausejour who is unable to offer his scheduled performance of J.S. Bach’s Goldberg Variations due to unforeseen medical circumstances.

Now in her 30s, the Montreal-based McNabney has already made a name for herself in the chamber music world, playing

both the harpsichord and piano.

McNabney is expected to play selections from Bach and from Jean-Phillippe Rameau during the 7:30 p.m. concert.

The festival will also feature a Saturday concert starring soprano Donna Brown, violinists Laurence Kayaleh and Axel Strauss, viola player Douglas McNabney, cellist Paul Marleyn, and pianist Stephane Lémelin. Many of the same principals will also be present Sunday for the “Bridges to the Future” concert with the Milton

String Quartet (Roman Fraser, Maithena Girault, Evan Robinson, and Joshua Morris) at 2 p.m.

Full performance details and ticketing information are available on the festival web site at www.pecmusicfestival.com.

Things revved up with a spirited performance from Toronto band Lowest of the Low, Ullrich said, and it all culminated in a closing performance from Toronto's Great Lake Swimmers.

Asked how the lineup is put together for the festival, Ullrich said there's careful consideration of the mix.

“Stylistically, [we want] something that will be interesting to Canadian music fans of all stripes,” he said. “You have this element where you've got kids there and so you want to have something that's accessible in a couple of different ways.”

He said he'll often create peaks and valleys — bands with a louder, harder sound followed up with artists with more soothing and melodic elements. “[It's] just putting in a little bit of a mix of styles and mood throughout the day to just keep it interesting for everybody.”

With local drink options from the likes of Parsons Brewing Company and the County Cider Company, food vendors like the Drake Devonshire, Idle Wild PEC, and Picnic Food Truck, and plenty of kids activities, Ullrich said the event mirrors what he looks for in his own life.

“It sort of gets at some of the things I would like to see at a show like this, which is you know, I'm at an event and I want to enjoy the music along with trying some local drinks, some local options in terms of food; different things, maybe places that I've heard about,” he said.

He said the event offers visitors a chance to experience some local flavours without having to leave the beach. Add in the kids' events, led by local artist Krista Dalby, and the show is a win-win for families.

“The kids program is something that each year kind of grows,” he said. “Everyone wins, the parents get their music, they get their food, and the kids get a chance to do all the cape making and the things Krista does with her team.”

The event also gives back. The price of each ticket includes $1 that is donated to the Friends of Sandbanks Provincial Park. Ullrich said the organizers appreciate all the work the Friends do and appreciate the park's continued co-operation with the event.

“It's effectively a partnership with Sandbanks park and the fact they have us there is just great,” said Ullrich. “Every year we do it is one more chance to present music in such a great place.”
