Glenwood ceremony honours veterans’ sacrifice Cemetery, Legion, Air Force association work together to ensure that fallen are remembered annually Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

While many associate remembrance with November, Glenwood Cemetery's annual Veterans' Day ceremony offered a chance to rethink that sentiment and reflect on a sacrifice that men and women across the globe make year round. The annual ceremony presented by Glenwood in partnership with the Picton Legion and No. 415 Wing, Royal Canadian Air Force Association was held on Saturday morning in front

of a substantial crowd. As ominous clouds made way for sunny weather, gathered dignitaries spoke fondly of those who have given their lives and those who are prepared to do so. Prince Edward-Hastings MP Daryl Kramp said Canadians should never forget the sacrifice of those who have fought and continue to fight. “It's the lessons of the past that dictate where we're going in the future,” said Kramp. He said it's tough to compare the challenges of

daily life with those that are faced by Canadian Forces. “I have been so fortunate and blessed to be able to witness many ceremonies that treasure the memory of their contribution, but also put us in a position where those lessons become permanent,” he said. Kramp said his father served with the Princess Patricia Canadian Light Infantry regiment. He said like many who serve his father never spoke much about it, but that shouldn't stop Canadians from hon-

ouring that service. “Maybe at some point in this wonderful world those contributions won't be necessary, but the reality is we live in a dangerous, challenging, yet unbelievably opportunistic world,” he said. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the First World War, but also the 75th anniversary of the Second World War. Mayor Peter Mertens said the celebration is especially meaningful for him. He said he was born in the Netherlands the day after D-Day. “My family was fortu-

nate that Canadians came to Holland that year,” said Mertens. “In both wars they're the ones that made the sacrifice, that made the commitment, so that someone like myself could be here, and my family can be here, as many others in the world can be here.” Mertens said he was impressed with the number of people who came to watch the ceremony on Saturday morning. He said it was the largest crowd he's seen at the ceremony.

Mayoral candidates take advantage of first public forum Hopefuls join Hillier candidates to kick off official election campaign Jason Parks

Staff writer

Neither fire or brimstone, nor flood or famine was going to derail the first opportunity for local voters to hear from mayoral candidates or those running in Hillier Ward. A Hillier Town Hall with a ceiling that was on the verge of collapsing caused the relocation of a meet-thecandidates event to Wellington's Highline Hall last Tuesday evening for the first official campaign event in the

2014 municipal election. Those seeking the head seat at the horseshoe at Shire Hall were joined by Ward Seven candidates Alec Lunn and Steven Graham in an informal setting in front of about two dozen voters. Candidates Jeff Goddard, Robert Quaiff and Paul Boyd all offered their ideas and explained their motivation for running for municipal government. Goddard, father of two university students, said he wanted to do something to stem the exodus of youth

from Prince Edward County. “What's happened in the last 20 years is kids go to high school, they go away to university and then we lose them all. We haven't got any way to offer them good jobs, so job creation is a priority for me. We need to sustain the county. We need young people to stay and settle here. You look at the schools and there is less and less enrolment every year and that's troubling,” he said.

Trillium grant assists with preservation efforts Glenwood gets $25,700 for records compilation, archive digitization efforts

ADAM BRAMBURGER

Staff writer

Glenwood Cemetery now has $25,700 to help it bring its records into the digital age, thanks to the Ontario Trillium Foundation. The recent grant is the second the foundation has given the cemetery in the last decade to help it preserve its history and offer more information to the families and descendants of the 13,000 to 15,000 people buried there. Glenwood chair Sandy Latchford said at the time of the last grant about five or six years ago, staff and volunteers combed through records to come up with one master list that would be searchable online. That proved to be a tremendous task to accomplish. “With no offence to anyone, it was a bigger project than anyone imagined then,� Latchford said. She indicated that while the initial project did much to consolidate records, later studies found some gaps in the register and it still left the idea of digitization of documents outstanding. After that grant ran out, volunteers continued working to fill in gaps. “We went out and replotted every part of the cemetery because the old plotting — if you know it here, it didn’t go in straight rows. We now know where everybody is, we think, we hope.� Latchford said the ceme-

tery also had a volunteer cross reference obituaries in the Gazette with cemetery records and they found between 200-300 people were buried in the cemetery they didn’t know about. While this project will look to complete the database to help people find their relatives, it also involves the County Archives as digitization technician Kelly Taylor will help preserve documents like deeds, burial records, and wills that were in Glenwood’s possession. “These beautiful old records — some of them are hand-written wills and let-

ters coming to the cemetery to explain what they wanted done — they need to be digitized for families to look up and see,� she said. Latchford added its important the cemetery is able to help families find the graves they are looking for and any background information available. “That’s a great feeling when you know you’ve made them feel good and they were able to do what they came here to do,� she said. Even now, Latchford said the work is extensive and it is going to take some time to complete. She indicated she was

“stunned� to learn that Trillium came to the fore to support the project. “This is a project we feel is beneficial, but it doesn’t rank up there with making money. It’s very intangible when you talk about getting people’s history and family ties. We’re just thrilled and really looking forward to getting started.� MPP Todd Smith acknowledged that many Trillium grants are given to organizations trying to keep Ontarians active, but added historical projects also offer value to his constituents.

Studio Tour invites guests to see the people behind the artwork in their own space Weekend offers great exposure, sales potential for participating artists Chad IBBotson

Staff writer

Once again visitors got a chance to look inside the minds and working spaces of county artists as the Prince Edward County Arts Council presented its annual Studio Tour. The tour is considered one of the longest running and most diverse of such tours in Ontario and this year featured 27 local artists and six guest artists. With a range of media from sculptures to painting to woodworking, there was a lot to see over the weekendlong event. New to this year's tour was the inclusion of the 26 Atlantic Crossings collaborative art project. The show — which was featured Friday–Sunday above Books & Company — partnered the work of 26 county artists with 26 writers in Great Britain who composed 62-word poems called sestudes in response to the work. Arts on Main Gallery in Picton featured the work of its 24 artists during the tour. The co-operative gallery was a prime location for visitors over the weekend. Among them were friends Karen Takacs and Agnès van 't Bosch. “We did (the studio tour) last year, so it's our art weekend,” said Takacs. “We go see stuff and then

we go back to my place and paint. It's kind of coming out to get inspired.” Takacs said she enjoys being able see inside the workspace of the artists, to see how they work on their craft, and to talk about the process the artist uses when creating a work. “If you get to see them actually paint it's great, you

can learn something,” she said. “Even just seeing where they put their paint.” Many of the Prince Edward County artists are very outgoing, which only adds to visitors' enjoyment of the event, said van 't Bosch “A lot of the artists are outgoing and friendly and there doesn't seem to be

any pretension,” she said “They'll actually even tell you how they do things. It's quite interesting because you get a real feeling for the artists as people.” Woodturner Pat Hayes was on hand at Arts on Main where he spoke about his first year with the Studio Tour. “It provides a great opportunity to show off the various artists' works and get them some great exposure,” said Hayes. “In many cases if you go to the actual studio, you get to see how they do things.” Hayes showcased a selection of his impressive handmade bowls and pepper mills during the tour. He said he never cuts down a tree to create a piece, instead collecting fallen logs for his projects. “I try to create something that's in many cases both functional and artistic,” he said. He said wood is a great medium because of its inherent uniqueness. “There's never two pieces the same. Every time I turn something it's different,” he said. Ceramic sculptor Florence Chik-Lau has been operating in Ameliasburgh for 14 years and has participated in the studio tour for the last 10 years. Her studio features a wide selection of eye-catching ceramic animals. “I only do animals, although there are some hybrid animal-people ideas

sculptures and mosaics over the weekend. “I do mostly birds, but I've done human figures and fish,” she said. She said she loves the wrapped-wire medium because of its feel. She said this was her first year as part of the studio tour. “It opens the eyes of all of the visitors. Everybody who has come in has been from out of town, so just the fact that they're coming to the county to experience not only the wineries, but the art as well,” said Casey. “There's such a wealth of talent in this area. It's great exposure for the artists.”

that have crept in in the last few years,” she laughed. “People like them because they bring out a lot of human emotions. You can relate to them well.” She said it take approximately three to four weeks to complete a project. Chik-Lau said the tour is a great opportunity for visitors to familiarize themselves with county artists. She said in taking part in the studio tour for so long, there are now many people who seek out her work.

Rev. Lynne Donovan is hoping a new municipally-funded marketing tool will help raise funds for the Reaching for Rainbows after-school girls' program. On Sept.11 Donovan presented a Reaching for Rainbows promotional DVD to committee of the whole, and offered thanks for the municipality's participation in the project. The outreach program is operated out of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Picton and aims to give girls an opportunity to develop positive relationships, to foster the discovery of skills, and to encourage girls to take initiative. “I want to reinforce the connection this project has with the information that was revealed to this community in the (County Community Foundation) Vital Signs report of last year,” said

Wellness

Donovan. “Some of us were sitting and listening to the initial presentation from Vital Signs and we sat there shaking our heads saying 'boy did we ever get this right.'” The report found Prince Edward County has one of the highest teen pregnancy rates in the province. Additionally, 2010 statistics found 40 per cent of Prince Edward County students from kindergarten to Grade 4 were behind in academics, emotional maturity, and physical health. Donovan said 30 girls are already registered for the program this year. She said the video will be shared with potential funders. “There are a lot of aspects to the program and so often we can talk about these things, but a moving picture really tells a better story,” said Donovan The 13-minute DVD video highlights Reaching for Rainbows activities, as

well as presenting testimonials from both children who have participated in the program and their parents. “The rate of teen pregnancy, obesity, and smoking was 30 per cent higher in our region than the rest of Ontario,” Donovan said in the video. “The stories behind the statistics are complex, however, Reaching for Rainbows seeks to be part of the solution.” The video also presents

testimonials from local community groups who have supported the program. Among those interviewed was Prince Edward District Women's Institute past president Nancy Wood. “Reaching for Rainbows is everything we believe in,” Wood said in the video. “Our Women's Institute group has a strong focus on women, education, community, and children. Whatever we can do to better that in our lives and in our community is what we feel is needed and what we work towards.” Donovan said the program is growing with each year. She said the program's budget has been increased to $25,000 per year from $20,000 to allow an increased role for the program's director and to lessen the workload for the program's volunteers. “We're in a really excited place right now,” said Donovan.

Duo delivers an emotional ride in Mummers’ production Grace and Glorie McMahon, Sills offer commanding performance in fundraising show Chad Ibbotson

wisdom.” Alyea said she discovered the play two years ago and decided she needed the right two actors to take it on. Ultimately, McMahon and Sills earned the parts and Alyea said the actresses didn't let her down. “They're just amazing. They have over 1,000 lines — that's just obscene,” Alyea laughed. She said the play is especially challenging with only two actors on stage for the show's duration. She said there's no camouflaging any missteps. “There's no one out there to cover anybody,” she said. “It's kind of like being on stage with no clothes on, it's just highly exposed.” In time Grace's resentment of Glorie's presence, and Glorie's assumption she knows it all, both subside and they learn from one another. There's maybe no more poignant moment then when an ailing Grace wants

nothing more than to be out of bed and opines she doesn't want to die in the “cold Pine Sol-smelling room” of the hospital. She'd rather die at home. It's somewhat fitting the show was also a fundraiser for Hospice Prince Edward and the Prince Edward TICO#50007364

The latest offering from the Marysburgh Mummers is an emotional ride, and one that should be immensely relatable for many Prince Edward County residents. The Mummers held their first three showings of Grace and Glorie last weekend at Mount Tabor Playhouse and, judging by audience reaction, the play hits home on a number of levels. Written by Tom Zeigler, the play tells the story of Grace (Paulina McMahon), a terminally ill woman in her 90s and Gloria “Glorie” Greenwood (Jennifer Sills), a formerly high-powered New York City business consultant turned smalltown hospice volunteer. While the material is certainly there on the page, actresses McMahon and Sills command the audience's attention with their performances. Both women deftly manoeuvre through more than 1,000 lines worth of dramatic and comedic beats. From laughs when Grace suggests Glorie get in bed and Grace make breakfast, to a certain amount of awe as both women confront tragedy in their pasts, there's a lot to take in. Director Monica Alyea said she stumbled across the play when perusing a catalogue of plays assembled by publisher Samuel French Inc. “When I looked at it I thought, this has a really interesting rural-urban thing going on,” she said. “It was very topical in terms of what was going on in my life in terms of older people dealing with cancer and how much they have to share with us in terms of

County Memorial Hospital Foundation (PECMHF). Alyea said with the profits from this show the Mummers will have donated more than $10,000 to PECMHF, and hospice is a crucial community service. “There's obviously a huge community outpour of support for hospice,” said Alyea. She said the hospital is an expensive avenue for those at the end of their life, and hospice can often provide more efficient service

and more interaction with family. “We're just very lucky for both of those places and spaces,” she said. “… I'm really counting on the community for this support. If they talk to anybody who has been to it, I don't think they'll find a soul who left untouched — it's exceeded my expectations in terms of what it looked like on the stage.” The Mummers will be presenting the show three more times — this Friday

PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY

Looking back in the

Picton Gazette 90 years ago — 1924

n A pair of twins, Sara Jane Hicks Minaker and Mary Ann Hicks Wildman, celebrated their 82nd birthdays together at an East Lake residence. The twins were believed to be the oldest living in Ontario at the time. n The International Order of Odd Fellows held a decoration day at the Wellington cemetery. A large crowd was present as members marched to the site, then laid flowers on the graves of their fallen comrades. A chaplain read prayers, while the Odd Fellows’ district deputy grand master gave an address to the crowd. n The new Migratory Bird Act introduced restrictions on the hunting of migratory birds, following a treaty struck between Canada and the United States on the subject. Shooting at night was prohibited, as was the use of automatic or machine guns, night lights, boats, or planes. Bag limits were also introduced to protect several species.

70 years ago — 1944

n Prince Edward County was nearing the three-million-pound mark in its production of cheese for the year. While cheese production was up, it was reported that butter production was down about 50,000 lb from 1943. n Famous woodworker William Loney was slated to have a display at the Picton Fair. The former Sault Ste. Marie steelworker gained a reputation for his accurate carvings of wildlife with delicate and inlaid patterns within his carvings. n Bloomfield man Earl Claus suffered a fractured vertebra of the neck after falling from a cement revetment into the Moira River, just north of the upper city bridge in Belleville. Claus lost his balance and fell 20 feet into a river bed covered with just an inch of water. n Lieut.-nursing sister Bea McCulloch enjoyed a brief audience with Pope Pious in Rome while serving her third year of a posting to military hospitals in Italy.

60 years ago — 1954

n A mother of 12 from Stockdale, Mrs. Davis MacDonald, was killed when the car she was riding it was struck broadside by a CNR locomotive at Bush’s railroad crossing between Hillier and Consecon. Her husband, the driver, and their daughter and son-in-law were taken to hospital with serious injuries. The crossing sits in a valley and that made it difficult for train and car drivers to see one another before arriving at the crossing. n Queen Elizabeth School was set to officially open with Cecil F. Cannon, the province’s deputy education minister taking part and tours available. The Queen consented to her name being used.

20 years ago — 1994

n Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital officially opened its new helicopter pad with a special ceremony Sept. 21. The pad had been active since mid-July and had been used eight times since then for emergency transfers. Hospital administrator Monty Boultbee said the average time in the air to complete a transfer to Kingston was about 14 minutes. n Sophiasburgh’s Gary Fox was selected by close to 500 Progressive Conservative members in Prince Edward-Lennox-South Hastings to serve as a the party’s candidate on Mike Harris’s team in 1995.

Memorable experiences at Ferris Provincial Park

The theft was unsettling. It wasn’t something I would expect to see in the friendly town of Campbellford. And certainly not in a park like Ferris that once was on the chopping block not many years ago, to be closed with numerous other parks, as a cost saving measure. The residents of this small town rebelled, and justifiably so, and the park was saved, and has enjoyed a remarkable rebirth. The park is not only near Campbellford, but is actually within a short walking distance of its residents. Foot paths lead from County Rd. 8 to link up with the Drumlin Trail within the park. Others take the historic entrance, at the end of Saskatoon Avenue, and hike along the old entrance road into the park. Still others cross the rushing waters of the Trent on the famous Ranney Gorge suspension bridge that noticeably sways as one makes their way across to the extensive trail system. The theft wasn’t great – it was just a couple “You Are Here” maps encased in Plexiglas, strategically placed at intersections where trails meet. They gave new hikers some reassurance of where they were in their trek, and how much farther they would need to walk to complete their hike. On a park trail system that attracts dog walkers from town, joggers, and nature enthusiasts, the maps’ disappearance was baffling. Where maps once directed hikers, only screws remained on the posts. Obviously, the small maps, now broken and torn, would be of no value to anyone. The trail markers are just one of many projects undertaken by an active group, known as the Friends of Ferris Park.

OUTDOOR RAMBLES TERRY SPRAGUE

Their presence is everywhere, from the benches they have financed throughout the trail system, to the numerous boardwalks they have created over wet areas along trails. They purchased an all-terrain wheelchair for any visitors needing one. They purchased and installed playground equipment, and assisted in the construction of an enormous picnic shelter several years ago. That shelter collapsed last winter under the unforgiving weight of thick ice from a December ice storm and buildup of heavy snow. Not to be discouraged, they are already seeking ways to have the shelter rebuilt. In collaboration with the Dry Stone Walling Association of Canada, a workshop is held every August, as efforts continue to rebuild a section of stone wall. There are some six kilometres of historic stone walls that cross the park here and there, marking the locations where fields once separated agricultural endeavours. Three of those walls were evident in our campground and is what

makes Ferris so attractive to us. We enjoy the blend of both human and natural history that this park offers and is why we return every year at this time. At 200 hectares (494 acres), it is not a large park, compared to some, and that makes it special too, as there is attention to detail from the staff. The park office was not open when we arrived, so we went straight to our campsite and set up. Later, senior parks operations technician Kyle Scanlon dropped by and offered to bring us our park permits, installed them on our campsite post, and asked us if there was anything at all that we needed – firewood, anything. On Sunday of that week, I had a guided hike scheduled when 28 showed up for the event. The Friends were there, among them, members Al Graham and Carol Robertson whose infectious enthusiasm about the park resulted in an informative and immensely enjoyable two-hour hike. When we returned, other Friends members including president Barb Hogan, had a barbecue ready for us, at no charge, except for donations. Being that the Friends have just celebrated their 20th anniversary, I assumed that a huge cake at the end of the table was in commemoration of that milestone. Instead, the cake was intended for me, in recognition of my retirement later this year! Emblazoned onto the cake was an edible rice paper photo of me, taken by the Friends several years ago when I spoke at their annual meeting, at the town’s Aron Theatre. That’s the first time ever that my name had shown up on a theatre marquee! And, there it was, now embedded into the face of

the cake. Even with close to 30 in attendance, there was still enough cake left over to take home. It was a large cake! Hopefully, the theft of trail maps this season was an isolated incident. The incident was not reflective of the atmosphere we have enjoyed for several years in this town and at this park. As further evidence, a failed starter on our car resulted in a call to CAA, but not before several customers at the nearby Empire Cheese Factory rallied to our assistance. The truck driver, who transported our vehicle, took an unexpected detour and delivered my wife back to the campground before continuing on his way to the local dealership. Once there, on a Friday afternoon, the dealership staff went out of their way to locate a new starter from their sources, and had it installed early the following morning. To cap it off, the employee who had taxied me to the suspension bridge where it was just a short walk back to our campsite, regaled me with stories of how his father had once owned a section of the land where Ferris Park stands today, and the farming experiences of that era. Campbellford is certainly high on our list of destinations to move to when that first ugly and useless wind turbine rises above the trees in the Bay of Quinte region. With its cheese, chocolates and croissants, the town is clearly in the running! For more information on today’s topic, please e-mail tsprague@kos.net or phone 613 848-4549.

Quaiff envisions town hall meetings to involve county’s youth

Prince Edward County mayoral candidate Robert Quaiff hopes to give youth a stronger voice in municipal matters if elected this fall. The current North Marysburgh councillor and mayoral hopeful announced last week, if elected, he would encourage council to hold a series of town

hall-style meetings for county youth to provide input into the planning process for municipal programs. The potential initiative — dubbed “My Future Is Now” — was announced by Quaiff in a press release. “When the County plans its initiatives for economic development, transportation, hous-

ing, recreation and training, our county youth should be at the table,” says Quaiff in the release. “Youth are impacted by all of these programs, and we need to seriously consider what our young citizens have to say about them.” He said the program could commence with a weekday

gathering of senior students during school hours. He said that could be followed by weekend or evening meetings with recent graduates as well to allow them to add their input and creativity. -Chad Ibbotson, Staff

Threats meant to divert Canadian efforts to spread, protect freedom

THE extremist terrorist group ISIS (Islamic State in Iraq and Syria) boldly stated this week that Canadians should be scared to walk the streets or even sleep in their beds at night in fear of Muslims. Shocking words, certainly, but not ones to raise panic or alarms. Since the 9/11 attacks in 2001, most of the western world has been on high alert for terrorism and the government organizations responsible for security have gone through thorough reviews and restructuring to ensure they’re ready to meet the challenge of future attacks on the citizenry they are tasked to respect. Their preparedness has never been higher and, if anything, ISIS has just warned them to be a little extra vigilant in the future if they had started to let their guard down after years without an attack. Extremism is certainly nothing new and there have been reports of sleeper cells and terror sympathizers on North American soil for some time now. It is hard to think those who believe in their mission would have been waiting for a call from ISIS to head out and do whatever dastardly deeds they were capable of in the name of a perversion of Islam. Instead, one would think they’d make themselves ever-ready to attack and would want to carry it out when the people around them were least suspicious of the act. Moreover, the tactic seems to be a way to try to persuade people around the world not to support a campaign to stop them from carrying out atrocities based on religion or interpretation thereof, and to help provide a sense of freedom for some of the most vulnerable people in those countries — namely women, who are being deprived of basic freedoms like gaining education, and innocent children. Indeed, Canada has a long tradition of standing up for those who are unable to stand up for themselves. Canadian soldiers fought for freedom in the World Wars, with the Second World War coming to mind particularly because of the type of tyranny and abuses of freedom brought forward under the Nazi regime. They also intervened in many dangerous areas of the world in peacekeeping roles in the years since and entered Afghanistan to help people attain the very freedom that ISIS is threatening elsewhere now. When one thinks of the 158 Canadians lost in the Afghanistan conflict, not to mention the billions of dollars spent there, one can see why the general population would give pause to the idea of taking on a military role in this fight — mind you, those who were in Afghanistan would say that despite the difficult nature of fighting an unknown enemy in a foreign land, they were making a difference in the lives of many Afghans — but there should be no question this country should be firmly committed to condemning and opposing the work of ISIS and its allies. Perhaps, the lessons learned in that mission could help Canada and the international community devise a smarter campaign to combat the face of terror. Meanwhile, here in Canada, people shouldn’t worry and they shouldn’t cast a pall on every Muslim as ISIS would have them do. That would only serve to create division and unease, which goes completely against the freedoms and security our ancestors fought so hard to earn that make this country what it is.

Authors headline busy month of events at libraries

Three authors will present their works at the library in October, including Mollie Morton with her book Grace - A teacher's life, one-room schools and a century of change in Ontario, Michael Riordon with his latest investigative book Bold Scientists, and Robert McMechan with the inspiring story of Allison’s Brain. A number of other events fill the October calendar including Pecha Kucha Night, a special Star Wars-themed day for children at all branches, a Firsrt World War commemorative fundraising dinner for the Archives, new computer training courses, lantern making workshops, and a workshop for birders. The popular zombie walk returns, as well, this year expanded to include a dance. The first of the three author presentations is on Tuesday, Oct. 7, at 7 p.m., at the Picton branch with Mollie Morton. The library is pleased to welcome the sociologist and writer presenting her book Grace - A teacher's life, one-room schools and a century of change in Ontario. The story unfolds the life of Grace, Morton’s mother, who grew up on an Ontario farm in the early part of the twentieth century. At that time, there were more than five thousand one-room schools dotting Ontario’s landscape. Most children walked to a school where one teacher taught eight grades in a single room. Grace taught children who wrote on slates and children who used typewriters and computers. During the 1920s and ‘30s, she taught in small communities near Havelock, Norwood, and Stirling, boarding near the schools and participating actively in the life of the communities. After years at home raising children, she became one of the first mothers in her area to accept a full-time position, again in a one-room school. “Her lessons,” says Morton, “went far beyond the classroom.” On Thursday, Oct. 16 at 7 p.m., we are pleased to have Michael Riordon hold the county launch of his newest book Bold Scientists at the Picton branch. “As governments and corporations scramble to pull the plug on research that proves that we are poisoning our planet and rush to muzzle the scientists who dare to share their disturbing data, it seems the powerful have declared a

InsIde the lIbrary CHRISTINE RENAUD

war on science,” says Riordon. Michael Riordon asks deep questions of bold scientists who defy the status quo including: an Indigenous biologist who integrates traditional knowledge and a trickster’s wit; an engineering professor who exposes the myths and dangers of fracking; a forensic geneticist who traces children stolen by the military in El Salvador; a sociologist who investigates the lure and threat of mass surveillance; a radical psychologist who confronts psychiatry’s dangerous power; and a young marine biologist who risks her career to defend science and democracy. Who controls science and at what cost to the earth and its inhabitants? This is unspun science for dangerous times and we are happy to have Michael Riordon come to speak on the topic. Our last featured book in October is Allison’s Brain by Robert McMechan and Allison Woyiwada. Allison, a retired music teacher and lifelong musician, was advised in 2011 that she had a large brain aneurysm, after experiencing olfactory hallucinations. In a twelve hour operation the aneurysm was “clipped”. Following the surgery, Allison had severe cognitive and physical deficits. The book reveals the story of Allison’s remarkable recovery. The story has been featured on CBC Radio One’s The Current program in a 20-minute documentary and will be featured on Ideas with Paul Kennedy. To see all of the events for the month of October, please visit the library’s online events calendar at: www.peclibrary.org or call us for details on any event at 613-476-5962.

Mummers’ production of Grace and Glorie is great theatre

The Marysburgh Mummers presentation of Grace and Glorie is a smashing success! Director Monica Alyea's brilliant casting of Paulina McMahon as Grace, the backwoods senior of nine decades, and Jennifer Sills as Glorie, the sophisticated lawyer recently relocated from New York City, was inspired. The sheer volume of memorizing 88 pages of dialogue, in which only two

people are involved is monumental, but to have done so in such believable fashion, speaks volumes for the talent of these two actors. We laughed, we cried, but most of all we enjoyed. This is what theatre is all about. Certainly, this production would be an excellent entry for the Eastern Ontario Drama League festival. Lynn Toth Consecon

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Auxiliary members have given much over past 80 years

Faded shades of pink and vibrant hues of red surround me every day. These colours are synonymous with my friends in the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital (PECMH) Auxiliary, who just celebrated their 80th anniversary this week. I have the privilege of working closely with these volunteers day in and day out and it doesn't take long to learn who prefers which coloured apron and why. Or who serves Tetley over Red Rose tea while working the coffee cart and it wouldn't be the first Wednesday of the month without a volunteer asking

for a reminder on how to use the photocopier before their meeting. At general meetings I like to sit between Marion Smith and Barb Claxton to indulge in spirited conversation debating clothing prices at the Second Time Around Shop. I am proud to say my grandma, Virginia Blakely, was instrumental in the opening of the Second Time Around Shop and was awarded her provincial life membership a couple of years ago. She still volunteers when she can at the blood donor clinics. Each volunteer I have the esteemed pleasure of

knowing is unique, vivacious and feisty (yes, I am talking about you Frances and Helen), but what unites them…apron choice aside…is their unwavering commitment to the betterment of our beloved hospital and the patients, families and staff they serve. Volunteers on the coffee cart know I don't drink coffee, but when they make their rounds, they offer one anyway. They make a difference and are always around to lend an ear (thanks, Ann, Bev and Cindy) or participate in my latest game or fundraiser (Geralyn). Our volunteers truly are the heart and soul

of PECMH. Their warm and welcomed presence radiates throughout the entire building. I hope my fellow colleagues will join me in congratulating the PECMH Auxiliary on their 80th anniversary. I commend and appreciate their commitment, enthusiasm and dedication. It is encouraging being surrounded by so many caring individuals who give up their time to influence and enhance health care locally. I wish our Auxiliary many more good years ahead. Briar Boyce

Pioneering head of radiology made hospital a better place

In 2010 a state-of-the-art digital radiography department was completed at Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital (PECMH) as a result of generous donations from the community. However this was not the first time that the X-ray dept had been updated. In 1984 radiologist Dr. Andrew Jamieson was hired by the PECMH board of directors as head of radiology. At the time of his hiring Jamieson requested that the hospital purchase an ultrasound and mammography machine within approximately six months. As is the case today, the hospital did not have extra funds to pur-

chase new equipment. The PECMH Auxiliary was approached and very kindly made a substantial donation toward the purchase of an ultrasound machine. Belleville General Hospital was about to purchase a new mammography machine and we were able to obtain their old machine. I believe the Auxiliary helped us out again. Over the years this very fine group of dedicated volunteers have helped to purchase a wide variety of equipment for our local hospital. As a point of interest they celebrated their 80th anniversary on Sept.18 having raised over $2 million in those 80 years. Both the aux-

iliary and foundation are continuously fundraising for much needed equipment for our award winning local hospital. Please consider making a donation. I can assure you that the funds raised by these two groups are used only to purchase equipment for our local hospital. The introduction of ultrasound and mammography in 1984 was very important. Up to that time county residents had to travel to Belleville or Kingston for these tests. We certainly owe a great deal of gratitude to Jamieson for introducing these two much-need services to our X-ray department 30 years ago. He was also

very instrumental in introducing many special procedures to the X-ray department. In the 15 years that I worked with him I could not help but notice how kind and compassionate he was to the patients. I think that staff and colleagues that worked with Dr. J. would agree that for 25 years the radiology department at PECMH was a better place because of him. He retired in 2009. Jamieson and his wife Georgie are leaving the county shortly and moving to Ottawa to be closer to family. We wish them all the best. They deserve no less. Fran Renoy Picton

Green Energy Act goes beyond judicial authority of province

Ontario's Green Energy Act may be ultra vires, in essence, a law that is not enforceable because it was enacted beyond the law-making authority of the provincial government. In fact, it is a law beyond the power of any human government, because it goes against natural law, which is the basis of Canadian common law. The natural laws of

physics tell us that safe generation of electric power requires supply and demand to be equal at all times, or as nearly equal as possible. When supply exceeds demand, as (most notably) in lightning strikes, that extra power can strain or damage the whole system. The Act's "feed-in-tariff" (FIT) provisions force our electrical system to adjust to increases in supply when

there is no increase in demand. This goes against a natural law of the universe - and natural law is superior to both common law and statute law. Producing electricity when there is no demand for it is an attempt to reverse a law of nature, something like trying to command the wind. In the name of science and common sense, in

December the Ontario Court of Appeal should declare that the members of our Ontario Legislative Assembly went beyond their law-making authority when they passed the "FIT" clauses of the Green Energy Act and, therefore, those sections are null, void and unenforceable. Al Reimers Wellington

Barry Turpin said he wants to be approachable and continue to work for Bloomfield residents and the county as a whole in his fourth term on council. The Bloomfield resident will be the only acclaimed candidate in the Oct. 27 municipal election as no challenger stepped forward prior to the Sept. 12 nomination deadline. Turpin said he chose to run again because there is more work to be completed. Although he noted the municipality's budget process is on the right track, he said he'll look for improvement in the next term. “This year we got the budget done early, but we didn't follow up with everything that should go along with it such as early tenders,� he said. “This year is going to be tough, but the next three years I'd like to see our budg-

et get done in December and have everything ready so we can roll out all of the tenders.� He said that will give the municipality a better price on projects and, ultimately, save taxpayers money. In terms of Bloomfield ward, Turpin said he wants to take on some ambitious projects. “I'd like to see us embark on an LED streetlight program,� he said. “Right now there are all kinds of programs out there by different companies and also through LAS (Local Authority Services) and AMO (Association of Municipalities Ontario) and we need to take advantage of it.� He said Bloomfield, for example, could work as a pilot area for the LED streetlight program. “Now is a good time to do it,� he said. He said he'd also like to see better collaboration with post-secondary schools to improve education opportunities here. “For example there is a PSW (personal support worker) program that's handled through Loyalist — we could have programs here,� he said. “There are other programs here that we could take advantage of.� He said the municipality can do a better job of collaborating with a host of different programs — both educational and development related — that have services which could help the county. Although he couldn't pinpoint a single biggest issue in the municipality, Turpin said councillors have to work

By Jeff Newton How we sell beer, wine and liquor has been a hot topic this summer across Ontario. Not just how we sell beer, but for how much. For example, consider the claims of those calling for liquor sales at convenience stores and gas stations, including the multinational chains that own them. They have falsely claimed beer prices are lower in Quebec than Ontario. It’s just not true. Data gathered by A.C. Neilsen and analyzed by Navigant Economics shows that even though Ontario beer taxes are double those in Quebec, average selling prices at the Beer Store are still lower. When prices before government taxes were examined the study found the average Ontario beer price was more than 18% lower. It also found that the pre-tax price for best selling package sizes – 6, 12 and 24-packs – were all lower here at the Beer Store. In fact, prices at the Beer Store are the lowest in Canada. That’s because there is intense competition among brewers who set their own prices at the Beer Store’s 450 retail locations – with frequent, multiple price changes as brewers jockey for position and market share. The Beer Store is a completely open system. Any brewer can sell as many brands in as many Beer Store locations as they choose. It’s a highly competitive selling environment. With more than 100 brewers and more than 400 EUDQGV FRPSHWLQJ FRQVXPHUV UHDS WKH EHQH¿ WV of competition through lower prices. Complete open access is not a common feature of private alcohol retailing. We believe many small brewers would be denied the ability to sell in small convenience stores and

gas stations, thus reducing choice for Ontario consumers. Selling beer, wine and hard liquor at more than 10,000 convenience store and gas station locations, many close to our schools and right next to our homes, would increase distribution FRVWV VLJQLÂż FDQWO\ $GG WKRVH KLJKHU FRVWV WR Ontario’s higher beer tax and prices will rise. It’s just common sense. Even the CEO of the Ontario Convenience Stores Association told the media their members “never advocated that we were going to offer cheap beer to anybody.â€? He referred to higher prices as an “up chargeâ€? related to “the convenience factor.â€? We know milk and bread costs more at the convenience store. But the convenience ‘up charge’ of selling alcohol is a much higher cost than just dollars and cents. What price do we place on preventing sales to minors? What price do we place on the gains we have made in reducing drinking and driving? What price do we place on keeping crime out of our neighbourhood convenience stores, close to our homes? The real debate is not about price. Ontario consumers already win on price. The real debate is about whether Ontario really needs 10,000 new liquor stores. If the result is an erosion of responsible sales and higher beer prices, we’re certain that most Ontarians will say the cost is just too high. -HII 1HZWRQ LV 3UHVLGHQW DQG &(2 RI &DQDGD V 1DWLRQDO %UHZHUV &1% D QDWLRQDO WUDGH DVVRFLDWLRQ UHSUHVHQWLQJ /DEDWW %UHZLQJ &RPSDQ\ /WG 0ROVRQ &RRUV &DQDGD DQG 6OHHPDQ %UHZHULHV /WG ZKR MRLQWO\ RSHUDWH WKH %HHU 6WRUH )RU PRUH LQIRUPDWLRQ YLVLW ZZZ RQWDULREHHUIDFWV FD

Follow these seven rules of crosswalk safely to make your way across the street unharmed

Coming to work this morning there were pylons on the Main Street in front of the Regent Theatre. I asked “what’s up” and learned that the crosswalk signs were being lowered. I didn’t ask but suppose that the idea is they might be more noticeable to drivers. Picton has pedestrian-activated, flashing amber lights which warn drivers that a crosswalk is in use. When a crosswalk light is flashing, drivers must come to an immediate full stop in the lane closest to the pedestrian. The amber warning lights are visible to more drivers because they are above the street and the lights are supposed to reduce collision accidents. There are also flashing lights partway down the poles upon which the lights above the street are suspended. Transport Canada reports the alarming statistic that 34 per cent of fatally injured pedestrians were seniors (aged 65 or older). It makes sense for seniors to be particularly careful when crossing the street. There are seven basic

INFO FOR SENIORS

DEBBIE MACDONALD MOYNES

crosswalk rules: 1.First, stop and look in both directions for a reasonable and safe gap in traffic flow; 2.Then push the early warning system, if available; 3. Look down the street in both directions to make sure all drivers have seen the flashing lights and are slowing down. 4. Extend your arm and

point in the direction you intend to walk across the crosswalk. Make eye contact with all drivers to be sure they are following your movements; 5. Wait safely at the side of the road until traffic in the closest lane comes to a complete stop; 6. Enter the crosswalk only when you are certain that traffic in the lanes in front of you has stopped completely; 7. Proceed carefully into the crosswalk and wait for all traffic approaching in the opposite direction to stop. Then finish crossing the street. All pedestrians and driv-

ers share joint responsibility for crosswalk safety. Drivers must stop and wait until the crosswalk is clear in their lane, then check both directions before proceeding. When drivers and pedestrians both use these basic safety rules, the risk of crosswalk injuries will be reduced.

Companion planting can offer benefits to two plants in close proximity

Companion planting has become a popular way of gardening, especially since home gardeners have been largely banned from using any chemicals that might protect plants from pests. There are both scientific and traditional reasons for doing this. Although it is usually thought of as a small garden practice, there are many ways that these practices can be applied to commercial horticulture. Native North Americans began companion planting about 6,000 years ago when they were growing corn, pole beans and squash. They began with a raised mound in which they planted a few corn seeds in the centre. They added pole beans when the corn was about 15 millimetres high so that the beans could use the corn for support.

ASK A  MASTER GARDENER BARBARA STOCK

Squash was also planted at that time and their leaves provided a cover to prevent weeds from growing and to retain moisture in the soil. Their prickly stems kept pests away from the corn. They are generally referred to as the Three Sisters. In retrospect, as a form of planting, it provided other benefits. For example beans and corn together provide a full protein and niacin thus leading to an adequate diet. Beans provided nitrogen to the corn and squash. Variations of this combi-

nation could be found in different parts of the continent where local tribes practiced an agriculture lifestyle. This is just one reference to historical companion planting but it certainly makes some of our current companion planting ideas appear quite simplistic. Not surprising then, companion planting is based on the idea that when a certain plant is grown near another specific plant one or both benefit from this proximity. It also applies to planting crops in an annual rotation, generally for three years, though this can vary. For example, legumes such as peas and beans can fix nitrogen in the soil for next year’s plants. Also, when clover is planted with other grasses in a lawn, the

nitrogen is available for all plants in the lawn and fertilizing is not needed. Companion planting includes plants that attract and support beneficial bugs like ladybugs, lacewings and others that are too numerous to mention here. All insecticides kill good bugs along with bad, so are not recommended. Flowering native plants and most flowering herbs provide a good environment for beneficial bugs and therefore make good companion plants. These can range from Queen Ann’s lace to various herbs such as coriander. Foiling bad bugs is another reason for paying attention to what is planted nearby and/or on a rotational basis. If the plants are not the same, bugs that remain in the soil over the winter to attack plants in the spring are unable to do this. Planting a mixed variety of cultivars instead of a single variety can also be helpful. If pests spoil a single crop or cultivar, others remain to produce a good yield of vegetables. Taking things beyond this to an even more natural way of planting, by mixing herbs and flowers with your vegetables, takes companion planting a step further. Just look at the natural garden that surrounds us. No one species dominates unless it is an invasive plant from another area. Mixing vegetables so there is not one large plot confuses pests as they cannot sweep in and decimate,

for example, a large potato patch, as there is no such thing in this type of garden. Some plants exude chemicals from roots or other parts of the plant that suppress or repel pests and protect neighbouring plants. The African marigold, for example, releases thiopene, a nematode repellant that makes it a good companion for a number of plants. Therefore they are a good addition to most gardens. Even when cut, some plants will deter pests, for example, bay leaves. A fresh bay leaf place in a container with beans or grain will deter weevils. If you have an invasion of ladybugs in the house, spread bay leaves where they might get in and they will leave. The following are some suggestions of companion planting for the more commonly grown plants: Beans (legumes) are good company for carrots, chards, beets, brassicas and strawberries. They are particularly good with heavy nitrogen users such as corn. A “three sister” type combination that also works well is haricot beans, sweet corn and melons. Tomatoes planted with basil have better growth and flavor. Thrips are unlikely to attack tomatoes when they are planted along side marigolds and peppers. Brassicas benefit from having dill and sage growing nearby, but they need a good rich lime soil to do well. The latter is generally

not a problem in the county. Cucumbers do well if they have something to climb on, including corn and sunflowers. Dill nearby attracts beneficial insects. Beans can provide extra nitrogen. And finally there are plants that do not do well together. Beans, potatoes, strawberries and summer savory do not do well with alliums. These include onions, garlic, chives, scallions and leeks. There is an increasing number of species of allium grown for their blooms. There is a lot of information on the web and in books and articles. Choose what you use carefully as some of what you find may even be contradictory. In fact not all companion plants appear to be equally supportive of each other in all gardens. Rotation of crops should be practiced where possible. As well, mixed plantings are generally the safest way to grow good vegetables while avoiding combinations that don’t work. Those flowers that are particularly vulnerable to certain pests can still be planted in drifts, but make sure that surrounding drifts contain different species of flowers.

Gas station, parking, infrastructure on Dunlop’s to-do list for council Wellington incumbent also looking for reforms to benefit county as a whole Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

Jim Dunlop is hoping to put his experience to work for Wellington once more. The incumbent Wellington councillor will seek another term in this fall's municipal election. Dunlop was elected by a wide margin in 2010 to represent the ward, taking 827 of the 1,141 ballots cast. He had previously served as Wellington councillor from 2003 to 2006 and served as a Prince Edward County warden in 1997. He said that experience will help him serve residents if re-elected. Dunlop has also been active in the community, filling the role of fundraising chair for the new Wellington and District Community Centre. “I've enjoyed working with people and I think I can make a difference,” said

Dunlop. He said getting a gas station, solving parking issues, continuing maintenance and upgrades at Wellington Harbour, and infrastructure upgrades at Belleville Road and Consecon Street would all be priorities for him moving forward. Dunlop said the municipality's age-in place concept is also critically important. He said some of those priorities could be achieved through working collaboratively with the municipality's community development commission, and through consideration of different approaches. “Taking an open for business attitude as opposed to saying no right off the bat, but looking to see if we can get a win-win situation,” said Dunlop. Dunlop said he likes what he sees in terms of the municipality's direction over the past few years. “We're going forward

with the restructuring and more governing than managing from a council point of view,” he said. “We've made great strides just in the last couple of years. We're increasing our reserves and before we didn't have anything.” The biggest issue overall in Prince Edward County, Dunlop said, is a continued desire to go back to the way things once were. “Some people are still hanging onto the ward system as opposed to what's best for the county as a whole,” he said. He said he agrees the uniqueness of the municipality's hamlets and villages has to be preserved, but he said that's being done. “We're paying our staff big money and they're well experienced people to make decisions on roads we need fixed and buildings we need to declare as surplus,” he said. “We can't keep hanging on to the past.”

Konecny hopes to bring communication, collaboration as Wellington’s rep Hopeful has led business association Chad IbbotSon

For Tina Konecny, communication and collaboration are the key. The Wellington resident filed her nomination papers last week, becoming the third and final resident who will vie for the sole Wellington seat on Prince Edward Coun-

ty council this fall. Konecny joins incumbent candidate Jim Dunlop and fellow newcomer Marilyn Szoldra. Konecny, a self-employed graphic designer, opened her business in Wellington in 2011. She has since taken on the position of Wellington District Business Association president, and has been active in the community — including organizing the village's first bubble festival earlier this year. She said a communication disconnect between the municipality and Wellington residents regarding the Main Street culvert replacement project motivated her to run for councillor. “I've been finding I'm frustrated with not getting the information we need, and with how the county has been dealing with the peo-

ple,” said Konecny. “The reason I've decided to run is I feel the community has to have a say. At this point it just seems like the county is telling us what to do and the community needs to say 'this is what we want.'” While she has no prior municipal experience, Konecny said communication between council and residents will be a priority. “I love the community and I want to help it prosper and do well,” she said. “I plan to do a Facebook page because I really believe communication is the big thing with the community — to find out what the people want. Basically I want to be a servant to the community.” The municipality is moving in a positive direction, but there's plenty more work to be done, Konecny said.

She said over the past few years there has been a move toward more collaboration and partnerships with community stakeholders. “We're starting to work together more, which is good,” she said. “Even within the county when I first came here there was a big divide between Picton, Bloomfield, Wellington … we're starting to work together and I think that's what the community development department is pushing toward.” She said the biggest issue in the municipality is that divide between communities. She said everybody has to begin working collaboratively in all respects. “If we work together we can do so much more than if we all try to do it individually,” she said.

Business growth, housing among Szoldra’s priorities Wellington candidate says she isn’t pleased with County’s efforts to stimulate economy Chad ibbotSon

Marilyn Szoldra hopes to make Wellington a more vibrant community if elected this October. The Wellington resident is seeking to unseat incumbent Wellington councillor Jim Dunlop in the upcoming Oct. 27 municipal election. The former manager of paralegal and administrative services spent 22 years with the provincial government before relocating to Wellington. Szoldra said she has the time to dedicate

The mission statement at St. Andrew’s Rev. Lynne Donovan begins with the phrase, “We are a Circle of Friends�. Not only do we take our relationships seriously but our “circle� is ever widening. On the walls of the sanctuary is an exhibit featuring the work of over a dozen folk who are part of the County Outings and Photography group lead by photographer, Phil Norton. Their images have enhanced our worship space and connected us to the natural world. On Saturday Julian Gallo and Lenni Stewart brought down the house with a benefit concert for Reaching for Rainbows with Libby Smellie working behind the scenes. Earlier in the week I was grateful to make a Ten Thousand Villages presentation to those who gathered for the meeting of the Kente Presbytery at Picton United Church. And just in time the good folk at the LCBO were able to bring in Seven Deadly Zins, the wine bottle I used to introduce last week’s sermon.

This Sunday we commission the new Director of Reaching for Rainbows, Jane Wollenberg and welcome singer/artist Greg Lambert to serve as our second annual Artist-in-Residence.

Szoldra said there has to be a very careful review of the budget and how tax dollars are being spent. She said the biggest issue in Prince Edward County is the economy and creating an environment conducive to business growth. “The main thing is encouraging business and by doing that you're fostering good employment opportunities,� she said. Szoldra said measures such as tax incentives for existing businesses looking to expand, and fewer restrictions on businesses could help to spur growth.

A circle of friends Whether you are relatively new to the area or if your family has been here for generations I commend to you the Vital Signs report found at: www.countycommunityfoundation.ca/read-the-report-c172.php The report published in 2013 provides an x-ray of the County, exposing a few skeletons in our closet. Among them the following: the rate of teen pregnancy, obesity and smoking in our community is 30% higher than the provincial average. And the County has the second highest rate of food Rev. Lynne Donovan insecurity in Ontario. The report reinforces what many of us have observed and that is there is a large disadvantaged population in this community alongside the more obvious signs of prosperity. The latest research has revealed that the nature of poverty has shifted over the last few decades. Poverty is not just an inability to pay all the bills. Poverty in this era comes with social isolation and that is when things really begin to go downhill because in order to thrive human beings need community. In 2011 St. Andrew’s in partnership with community agencies founded Reaching for Rainbows, an after-school program licenced by the Ministry of Education to serve girls ages 6-9. The program provides the girls with opportunities to develop life skills, academic skills and a vision of their own success. But more than anything Reaching for Rainbows provides girls, who may have found themselves on the margins because of poverty or other challenges, with a “circle of friends� that includes trained volunteers and a professional director. The 30 girls enrolled in the program spend 5 hours a week in a play based learning centre where no one is on the outside looking in. In my faith tradition the table is a powerful symbol of hospitality and inclusion. What the Vital Signs report reveals is that there are a number of folk in this community who have been excluded from the table. Reaching for Rainbows is just one initiative in the County that responds to this social disparity. If you would like to join the Reaching for Rainbows “circle of friends� as a volunteer or as a financial sponsor OR if you’d like to know more about this grassroots community initiative, please contact me at rev.lynne@sympatico.ca.

“I hope that continues to grow and I hope it makes all of you take some time and take some effort to make sure we don't forget,” he said to the crowd. He said those in attendance should make sure their sons and daughters and all younger generations know and never forget. Lt.-Col. Andrew Wedgewood of CFB Trenton said the Canadian tradition of honouring those who fought for peace is alive and well. “While we take the time to recognize the sacrifice of tens of thousands of Canadians and allies who contributed to making the world a safer place — some 300 of whom rest here at Glenwood — it's unfortunate that U.S. President Woodrow Wilson's prediction that World War I would be the war to end all wars proved inaccurate,” said Wedgewood. He said while it's not difficult to see the world is still a dangerous place, those who died didn't do so in vain as freedom, prosperity, and peace have increased dramatically.

“It is, however, a reminder that we still need to stand on guard and heed the message of peace passed onto us from failing hands,” he said. Glenwood is the resting place of over 300 veterans

including those who were killed at the former RAF No. 31 Bombing and Gunnery School where air training took place as a part of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan during the Second World War.

Smith shared a story about an event he attended on the Tyendinaga Territory, where the Bay of Quinte Mohawks were recognizing their ancestors who fought in the First World War. He said that community is working to piece together that history of who served. Having preserved records and archives like those Glenwood is working toward would be very useful in that situation, he said. He was also optimistic the Picton project would be seen through to completion. “I know this is going to happen, Sandy,” he said. Deanna Dulmage, a Belleville native who is a member of the regional Trillium grant committee said she was impressed by the work done by volunteers up to this point and said she was confident the grant would push the work along. Dulmage confided that

she also had some personal satisfaction in seeing Glenwood’s project move forward as her parents’ families both came from the county and her mother’s family is actually buried in Glenwood, though she couldn’t say exactly where. “All this information, I think, is wonderful,” she said. “You’re trying to keep the history of an area and the county does a great job at that. Death certificates and birth certificates are a great part of that and those things get lost over the years. This is a wonderful thing.” The project is the third one Taylor has worked on with the County as she also helped the municipality with a file management system and a project to

keep historically significant photographs and documents. Mayor Peter Mertens said he was pleased to see the municipality partner with Glenwood. “We’re a county where lifestyle and the benefit of what we have historically is very important,” he said. “To have this as another element of what we do here, this is a huge, huge piece of that puzzle. Anyone involved in heritage or history, or in preservation, has to be excited about what you’re doing here.” The mayor also congratulated Latchford in particular and her board for the direction they’ve been moving the cemetery in recent years, adding their “enthusiasm is infectious.”

Pirates coast past punchless Storm 11-1 in opener Reigning league MVP Bunnett picks up where he left off with hat-trick performance Chad Ibbotson Staff writer

The Picton Pirates kicked off the Empire B Junior C Hockey League regular season with a bang Friday night. The club travelled to Deseronto to face the Storm, and ultimately took home a huge 11–1 win for their effort. Picton coach and general manager Ryan Woodward said the team gave a solid effort from top to bottom in the win. “The guys' intensity level and jump on the bench was a positive, the guys were excited to get back at it,” he said. “We got some good performances from new players and older players, and some great goaltending from Brock Tufts.” It was an inauspicious start to the season for the Storm, however. Brodie Maracle, Brady Farrell, Logan Elliott, Tyson O'Toole, Mitch Goodfellow, Johnny Maracle, and Devin MacLean were handed 10-minute misconduct penalties for crossing the red line during warmup. MacLean and Goodfellow also received gross misconducts for playing without a helmet. The Pirates opened the scoring just after the midway point of the first period with Chris Jones finishing off a play from Austin Labelle at 12:11. Just 43 seconds later it was Jordan Guindon doubling the Picton lead to two with Devin McCann and Calum Kennelly picking up assists.

Steve Clarke deepened the Deseronto deficit at 17:08 and the Pirates took a 3–0 lead into the first intermission. A goalmouth scramble saw the Pirates increase their lead to four at 3:56 when Jones shovelled the puck past sprawling Storm goalie Matt Loveys. Bunnett picked up the assist. At 8:40 of the second Chris Rogalsky answered for Deseronto with a powerplay marker, but the club couldn't gain any traction. Just 26 seconds later Brian Bunnett tallied a shorthanded goal to restore the fourgoal lead. Labelle, McCann, Kennelly, and Bunnett would score for Picton before the second period was out as the Pirates took a 9–1 lead into the third. Just 1:44 into the final frame, Bunnett tallied his second shorthanded marker of the contest to complete the hat trick. Bunnett would also pick up a point on Smith's goal at 15:04 as the Pirates finished off the blowout. “Brian is going to be a dominant player in the league this year. We need him to lead by example and we need to lean on him to provide offence and he did that in game one of the season,” said Woodward. “We're hoping other guys can follow his lead and provide us secondary offence. We just want to work hard and the goals will take care of themselves.” Tufts opened the season with a clash against his for-

mer team. Woodward said the goaltender showed his strengths in the game. “He's a great teammate, he stepped into our dressing room and was welcomed with open arms, the kid just wants to get better,” Woodward said. “It's a difficult situation not only being your first game, but being against your former team, he did a

great job. He settled in early on and was sharp all night.” The Pirates picked up forward Smith from the Gananoque Islanders last week for the rights to a player and cash considerations. Smith scored 19 goals and 28 points for the Rideau Division-leading club last season. “Phil is a dynamic offen-

sive player. As a '95 he's going to step in and be a spark plug to our lineup, he's going to play in all situations,” said Woodward. =“He's going to provide offence, but also he'll provide hard-nosed, two-way play and lots of speed up the middle.” Additionally, the club picked up defenceman

Noah Sager from Deseronto. Sager played all 40 games for Deseronto last season picking up three points and 28 penalty minutes. “He's going to be a hardnosed shutdown defenceman. He's is a player we've liked for a long time and we're excited to be a part of his development,” Woodward said.

Whitepine Watershed claims County Men’s Fastball title in decisive fashion

This time around, Whitepine Watershed finished the season on their terms and were tops in the Prince Edward County Men's Fastball League in 2014. The squad has always been a top flight club, winning several regular season championships and has a tradition of appearing in almost every PECMFL final since the club entered play about five years ago. Despite that tradition of excellence, Whitepine Watershed has only managed to hoist the playoff championship trophy once prior to Thursday night. But the squad held noth-

ing back, downing Frankford's Danford Contracting 8-1 in a six-inning game at the Tyendinaga Softball Complex. “I think it was a relief. We have a pretty competitive team every year and the goal always is to be in a position to win (the championship),” Whitepine Watershed pitcher Jamie Thompson said when asked what emotions were running through the club as the final out was made. “We had a few injuries last year and didn't come through with the hits when we needed them so this year it was really nice to get back there and show that we could do it.” Whitepine would get all the offence they needed in

the top of the first when Thompson bounced a high chopper through the infield and cashed a pair of runners. Whitepine built on their lead in the second with Ryan Hayman coming in to score on a passed ball and driving in a run in the fourth to make it 4-0. In the bitter September air, Thompson kept the Contractors bats ice cold, fanning eight of the first nine batters he would face. In the fourth inning, Danford came to life, putting their first two batters in scoring position but Thompson tip-toed through the rain drops to emerge unscathed. In the fifth, Joe Thompson belted a one out double to drive in a run but was

gunned down a batter later at the plate as 17-year-old Danford outfielder Justin Hall dialled long distance, connecting with backstop Mike McClelland on a nice putout. The Contractors, making their second straight PECMFL finals appearance, finally got on the board in the bottom of the fifth in Josh Danford batted in Adam Danford for their lone run of the game. But Whitepine would tack on a few more runs in the late going and, after Danford went quietly in the bottom of the sixth, the party around Whitepine dugout was on.

Wellington splits weekend pair as offence continues to sputter Coach contemplates roster moves after lacklustre effort Jason Parks

StaFF writEr

If the Wellington Dukes are unable to get their offence in gear and turn in a complete effort, it could be a very a long weekend for some players on the hockey club. For others, it might just be the end of their time in a Dukes uniform. Dukes coach and general manager Marty Abrams was pulling no punches after the club split their two games this past weekend. On Friday at home, Wellington was able to overcome an early three-goal deficit and down the Mississauga Chargers 5-3 for their first win of the season. The contest featured five unanswered goals for Wellington who set an early season high for offence after essentially sleepwalking through the opening ten minutes. But on Saturday, the club's lack of offensive punch showed through in a 2-1 loss to the host Toronto Junior Canadiens. Down 2-0 after 40 minutes, Wellington managed a power-play goal in the early part of the third to cut the lead in half and finished the game with a six-on-three opportunity in the Junior Canadiens’ end. However, the shooters could not find a way to get a puck past Toronto goalie Nathan Collito. So far in this young season, Wellington has found a way to make opposing netminders look very good and for Abrams, that all starts with the fact the team can't seem to put together 60 consecutive minutes of work. “We need to figure out in the next 10 days or so what's prohibiting us form working hard for 60 minutes. We need to find an answer,” Abrams told the Gazette Monday.

“Hard work and passion have always been staples of this organization and I really don't see it at this point.” Last season, Wellington dropped their first three games before going on a nine-game win streak and shooting to the top of the Northeastern Conference by the end of October so the longtime bench boss is not low after 1-3 start. However, the ship needs to be righted starting tonight when the club travels to Kingston to visit the firstplace Voyageurs. “I'm not low about our start, I'm encouraged by some of the pieces in place but if we don't get a better work ethic day in and day out, we are going to struggle to win games,” Abrams said. “You see some huge scores in our division (for example,Trenton has scored 28 goals in three lopsided victories already this season) and there's already separa-

tion in the conference. You don't want to fall behind.” Wellington has indeed added some nice pieces in the off-season and at last year's trade deadline. Speedy forward Nick Devito scored the winning goal Friday evening on a beautiful effort and goalie Taylor Welsh might have started very slow against the Chargers but a windmill save in the late going with Wellington up a goal harkened back to the days of Jordan Ruby. But the team has looked like they are confused and skating underwater at various times this year. “Systems are only as good as the people that are trying to play them so you have to have quality players to have execution,” Abrams said. “We are evaluating our player personnel right now, it will continue this week and into next week and I fully expect there will be changes in the

lineup. Some will be driven by players coming back from injury reserve, some of it will be player driven and some will management driven. I can tolerate a lot of things, but I can't tolerate lack of effort.” Saturday's loss spoiled a nice OJHL debut by Olie Lefreniere who stopped 31 of 33 Toronto volleys and wound up taking his first loss. Abbott Girduckis picked up his third goal of the weekend in the loss, firing home a power-play marker through a screen just 1:39 into the final stanza. On Friday, the lanky Belleville product also got Wellington's first of the contest in a similar circumstances. As predicted by this corner last week, former Duke Austin Broadhurst had a big game against his former club, ripping home the games first goal at the 5:42 mark. The Chargers would tack on another pair of goals and lead 3-0 at the 16:00 mark. Girduckis' goal with 3:08 left gave Wellington some life and the club jumped back into the contest in the second. Just as Broadhurst was emerging from the penalty box about five minutes into the second, Jacob Panetta blasted home his first of the campaign to get Wellington to within one. Later in the stanza, Chase St. Aubin chipped in his first Junior A goal with help from Ben Sokay and Erick Delaurentis at 8:23 and it was 3-3. Wellington generated plenty of chances in the frame as they tested Mississauga netminder Alex Lepore 15 times but it wouldn't

be until the third when Devito pounced on a happy bounce in the Charger end and put a great move on Lepore for the game winner at 13:07. Wellington's Welsh was then tested and had to come up with a game saving snatch to keep his squad ahead on the scoreboard. “I thought his third period was his best and he made the fantastic save when we needed it. That's his maturity and experience taking over and you saw that when he got off to a bit of a shaky start,” Abrams added. The start certainly gave Wellington fans reason to wonder what kind of team was being trotted out in front of them but the Dukes responded and ground out a win against an opponent that

was hungry for two points. After tonight's game in Kingston, Wellington is in Oakville for a pair of contests against West Division squads in the annual Governor’s Showcase event. On Saturday, Wellington faces Hamilton at 1:30 and a day later, the club locks horns with the Buffalo Jr. Sabres. Wellington's next action is next Friday when they are in Trenton to take on the Golden Hawks. Their next home action is Sunday, Oct. 5 when they host Lindsay. 'Round the 'Roc: Marco Azzano is closer to returning to the Wellington lineup and he might see action this weekend. Abrams expects Dylan Mascarin in the lineup by Saturday at the latest.

Whitepine dedicates winning season to late teammate Loney

FASTBALL, from page 20

“We were pretty upset at the end of last season (when Whitepine was upended by the Beatty Seeds Huskers). We had chance to defend our 2012 trophy and we felt what we did on the field didn't compare to the team we had on paper,” Thompson said. This season, the club had a full contingent of players and Thompson pointed to a couple of relative newcomers to the sport. “Joe Brant played a big role for us this season. He has caught in past years but he moved out to shortstop and did a great job,” Thompson said. “In past years, he's batted at the bottom of the order but this season he took on the challenge of being the number two batter and performed great.” Another player in just his third year of fastball was slopitch transplant Matt Humphreys. The third base-

man proved to be a competent fielder and provided Whitepine with some pop in the bottom of the order. In terms of the overall league in 2014, Thompson said the interlock with the Loughborough Fastball League was an excellent initiative in his opinion. “It was good to see different players and I think both sides enjoyed it,” Thompson said. “I know there was some worry on this side that the games would get out of hand because Loughborough has some very high quality teams but I don't think it was that way.” In closing, the fireballer and team organizer thanked Whitepine Watershed sponsor Terry Godsall for his support of the club all season and added the team wanted to dedicate their 2014 title to the late Jason Loney who played for Whitepine before succumbing to cancer in April.

Panthers have mix of height, athleticism Volleyball seniors look to contend this season

The PECI Senior Volleyball Panthers look to have the right mix to contend in the Bay of Quinte Conference this season. Coach Adam Palmer said he believes the 12 players he kept have some of the attributes he likes to see on the court. “We have a very tall team this year and also a very athletic team,” he said. “We have a lot of good all-around athletes and all of them were at the year-end banquet last spring for a three or four sports. It’s a talented group.” Palmer said he hopes to pick up from last year where many of his core players helped lead the school’s junior team to the COSSA final before falling to Cobourg West. He indicated he believes many of that athletes are also very coachable players and he’ll look to help them gain a better understanding of the particulars of playing volleyball at a high level. With respect to leadership on and off the court, Palmer said he has two fifth-year seniors who will add much

ALEX TUCKER

experience to the group in Alex Tucker and Bob Wilson. Palmer also sees big Max Manlow being an integral part of the team. The nice thing, he said, is that it isn’t just those two or three players who are capable of carrying the team during a game. “We’re comfortably deep. It should be a fun year.” The Panthers will start their season at Marc Garneau in Trenton Tuesday for a match with the Astros and the Centre Hastings Centurions. Their first home date is Oct. 14 when the North Addington Vikings and Centennial Chargers visit. -Adam Bramburger, Staff

In Memory of

Passed away on Sept. 26, 2013, my how quickly a year goes by. A Son’s Perspective of his Father. Dad was responsible for raising five sons. He accepted this duty raising these boys alongside his treasured wife, Melrose. Dad was not an openly public person, he preferred to be a family man accepting and understanding that he nor his family nor his fellow human beings were perfect. His understanding and casualness made for a great dad. Over the years he became a master of giving just the right advice, encouragement, support when needed. Evil-eyed punishment was the course of the day, as he was truly tested by all his five sons. Dad never lost out on being engaged with his sons and he was truly excited when grandchildren started to arrive on scene. In the end he died with a broken heart. His passing was gradual and guided. You are truly missed by your sons, grandchildren, family and friends.

Junior Panthers open season with lopsided win over Quinte High-end games in tournament helped prepare PECI for league opener AdAm BrAmBurger Staff writer

After four tough tournament games on the weekend, Monday's regular season opener was not a daunting task by any means for the PECI Junior Basketball Panthers. The home side dominated its tip-off effort against the Quinte Saints from start to finish and were rewarded with a 47-2 triumph. Vanessa Willis put up the game's first six points and led all scorers with 18 points, though the Panthers still managed to have nine players find the net as the whole team played and contributed. Chloe MacDonald chipped in nine points and Hannah Smith eight. Coach Rob Garden said the weekend was just what the team needed to get going. "The teams we played on the weekend, they were playing their ninth or 10th games of the year. We wanted to get some experience coming into league play," he said. "I think it showed with our defence, we were pretty disciplined and we ran good stuff. The offence still needs a lot of work, but such is the beast of junior basketball." Garden noted that Quinte hadn't had a junior team last year, so the Saints were a bit behind 8-ball from the start. That said, he didn't want to see his team get away from their game plan. "We knew we had some things to work on. Defence was the first priority and we only let them score two baskets all game. I thought we did a better job playing good help defence and rebounding was a focus as well. I think that showed on the scoreboard." Officially, the Panthers played 21:12 of shutout basketball until Emma Murphy broke the goose egg. By spreading the ball around, Garden said the Panthers were able to build some confidence in their full roster and he indicated he's been pleasantly surprised by the efforts some players turned out. Smith is one of those players as a Grade 10 who hadn't played before. "She's only played five games of basketball her entire life and was our third leading scorer. Those are the kinds of surprises I was hoping to have and I hope she continues to produce like she is." Some of the Grade 9s also impressed the coach with their playing styles. MacDonald was very aggressive, creating havoc for many of the Quinte players throughout the night. Guard Leah Matthews was also effective

moving the ball forward through traffic. "I credit them as individuals. They aren't afraid," he said. "The basketball they have been playing has helped. They've got experience and they don't have to worry about being tentative in the first few games of Grade 9.

That's huge. We talked about hitting the court running." Allison Hegadorn, Lynsey Corbin, Kelli-Anne Maycock, Mackenzie Leavitt, and Lydia Snider also scored. On the weekend, the Panthers went 1-3, though two of the teams they played against went on to medal at the tour-

nament. First, the Panthers faced one of Kingston's top teams in the LaSalle Black Knights. That game, they did have some jitters and PECI found itself down 42-12 at half time. In the third quarter, however, the juniors mastered the halfcourt man-to-man defence they'd been learning and held LaSalle scoreless. Ultimately, the hosts prevailed 52-36, but PECI outpaced the silver medalists in the second half 22-10. In Game 2, the Panthers faced the ever-powerful Thousand Islands Pirates, who were the top-seeded team in the event. The Pirates played with a tenacious fullcourt press which frustrated the Panther guards. Turnovers built up and PECI lost 58-38, though Garden noted they again made good second-half adjustments. Willis led all scorers with 22 points, Matthews had eight. The Pirates captured the bronze medals. The Opeongo Wildcats were the next team on the schedule as the Panthers moved into consolation side of the draw. In a back-andforth defensive battle, Garden said both teams struggled to score early. It wouldn't be decided until there was 18 seconds left. Willis drove the hoop and was fouled. She hit one of her free throws. The Panthers shut the Wildcat offence down on an ensuing possession, then executed their inbound play to get Willis the ball again. She was fouled with less than a second left and added another free throw to secure a 24-22 win. Willis had 12 points in the contest and Snider, another first-year Grade 10 player, had

six. In the 'C' final, the Panthers struggled with the zone employed by the Kingstonbased Bayridge Blazers. By the time they discovered a

way to beat it in the fourth quarter, they were too far behind and ultimately fell 4023. The Panthers are at Quinte Christian tonight at 6 p.m.

A lack of finish has left the PECI Senior Basketball Panthers winless through their first two games in Bay of Quinte Conference action this fall. The Panthers can look back at missed opportunities in the second quarter Monday as the difference as they allowed the Quinte Saints an eight-point run off the start of the period on their way to a 41-21 victory. Through one quarter, the Panthers were even with last year's COSSA AAA finalists at seven points each, but they couldn't stay even, being outscored 10-4 in that period alone. Coach Andrew Wentworth said it was a similar story in the team's opener Thursday at Trenton as the Panthers were all over the Tigers early and even shut them out in the first quarter, but they ultimately lost 33-26 on the strength of shooting. "Last game, we went 3for-19 in the first quarter. With an offence that gives you 19 looks, you have to be able to capitalize on more than six points there. The girls know it. I know it. It's some of those finishing skills that would bring us back into games like this."

Wentworth acknowledged the Panthers played a smoother game in the second outing, leaving the jitters of opening night behind them. He said they ran their offence with more confidence and didn't rush plays as much. As the game went on, they made more plays but couldn't execute to score. He said that may be a result of practices where the Panthers focused more on their system of play than on their basic skills through the early part of September. "We spent a lot of time this season working on these plays and strategies and we haven't bounced back from focusing on the system. You can see the skill level and finishing has dropped a bit." Wentworth also said he felt as Quinte opened up bigger leads in the second half, some players tried to step outside of the offence a little bit while pressing to score. "There's a fine line between being aggressive and collapsing the system by trying to be the hero. We saw a little of that tonight," he said. "Simple offences weren't flowing because we were stepping out of our roles. It's frustrated, but nothing that can't be corrected." At the same time, the Panthers' coach credited the Saints. Though they're only running a squad of six players this year, he said there's no denying the Belleville team's abilities. "You can't take anything away from that team. They have some experienced players and tough competitors," he said. Guard Roberta Drummond found the hot hand in the second half, scoring nine of her game-high 13 points

after the break. Her teammate Brooke Fleming added 12 points while quarterbacking the offence and a third Saint, Elizabeth Drummond added eight. The Panthers got nine points from Hailey Van Rossum, six from Danielle Willis, and four from Marlee VanVlack. Lydia Dick also found the basket once. Wentworth said he was a bit concerned about having only four players score Mon-

day. "It's always nice when it's a little more even. We had eight girls put up points against Trenton High School even in a low scoring game. The potential is definitely there," he said. The Panthers will carry a short bench of their own for a while as guard Michaela Jackson is out with a moderate concussion. PECI's next game comes tonight at Quinte Christian at 4:30 p.m.

Motorcycle Experience now in its 25th year on TSN County-produced magazine celebrates milestone Saturday AdAm BrAmBurger STAff wriTer

A long-running television program on TSN will be celebrating its 25th anniversary in Prince Edward County this weekend with a day of motorcycle rides, demonstrations, prizes, and lectures. For most of the time Motorcycle Experience has been on air, the majority of its shooting and post-production work has taken place in this municipality, according to host and producer David Hatch. "About 20 years ago, our friends brought us down here and we were on a holiday on our motorcycles," he said. "We explored the idea and we thought what a great place this was to start shooting and to live." In 1989, Hatch and his wife Stacey were just launching their production company WhistleStop Productions. Looking for ideas for content, he said they went back to something that was natural to them as the couple, then both working in television in Toronto, shared a common interest in motorcycles and actually incorporated a ride into their first date. One of TSN's first hit programs was MotoringTV, which had debuted two years earlier. The couple thought there was a market for a similar magazine-style show that focused on motorcycles instead of cars. The model, which remains in place today, is one that includes reviews of new products, safety and riding trips, then video of a destination ride somewhere in Canada. Hatch says it was relatively easy to convince the network to sign up for the program. "It was surprisingly easy at TSN. It was still a fairly young network, having been on the air for only five years at the time," he said. "(Cameraman) Mike Brown and I had both been at TSN as employees for a couple years

when it launched in 1984. There was easy access for programming ideas, they already knew us and knew of our reputation." Hatch said initially, the most difficult aspect of the show was getting companies like Honda and Harley Davidson to offer support and products for reviews. Unlike the auto industry, he said, there's a smaller group of manufacturers in the business and less money for promotions. Ultimately, however, the show won them over and its reputation has made it appealing as a showcase. The show began in earnest with a small crew of about three or four people. Dave Hatch was in front of the camera hosting (as well as writing and producing), friend Brown was behind it and spending time in editing, Stacey Hatch was producing and another friend, Lucy Russell, was involved with the procurement of sponsors and suppliers. Little has changed over the years. "It's pretty much the same, a small group production. Being in Canadian television requires you to work smart and work lean," Hatch said, adding the show has also had a fairly regular staff

over the years. Brown still remains a camera man, editor Cameron McFadyen has been involved for 11 years, and Stacey remains an executive producer. On-air reviewers and contributors have also remained on the show over the years. A change came as WhistleStop moved to the county. Hatch explained a lot of the shooting used to take place an hour-and-ahalf north of Toronto, sometimes near Forks of the Credit Provincial Park and sometimes near Uxbridge. The distance became problematic. "It took so long to shoot and to get back, there were a lot of pressures on our time. Traffic was unpredictable," he said. "Once we were shooting in Prince Edward County, we could just leave home and film in a day." Hatch said he feels fortunate that TSN has continued to remember the show, even as it has grown into a much larger multimedia operation. "TSN has exploded and to their credit, they've been very generous and respectful of our relationship," he said. "We're so appreciative that they respect us and have stayed with us like family. Even with things like

NASCAR races and the CFL, they still run our cottage-produced show." A faithful, loyal following has also developed and Hatch said the producers enjoy receiving e-mails from them. Recently, a group of Honda ST riders from the show's viewership brought their sport bicycles to a campground near Glenora and asked Hatch if he'd take them on a tour of the county. Naturally, he complied, and said that's just one example of the loyalty of viewers. While Hatch says the show works in Canada because features places to ride in this country and local products, he said the show is also finding success in Europe, where it has been shown for three seasons. He sees that as a market for potential growth in the future. To celebrate the quartercentury, Hatch said the show is going to throw a party at Hillier Creek Estates this Saturday to share its success with all of those who supported it over the years. The event is sponsored by Honda and is titled Wings Over The County, as it is also celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Honda Gold Wing motorcycle. "It's the place to come. There's nothing more beautiful than a fall day in Prince Edward County," Hatch said. "It's pretty casual. There will be rides, demonstrations, and lectures. We'll be giving out presents to some people and we're going to take everyone on a ride around the county." The event starts at 9 a.m. as people can sign up for Honda demos and enter a silent auction and giveaway draw. Demos will occur throughout the day. Hatch's escorted ride is at 1:30 p.m. Beyond Saturday, Hatch is already looking forward to future years on the show. He said there will be a transition to more web content and there will also be a push to expand viewership. "The future is in bringing younger riders along and bringing more women into the show and into the sport," he said.

Goddard pointed to Conrad Guziewicz’ Prince Edward County Innovation Centre at Picton harbour as a catalyst to youth retention. The candidate offered an example of a young software developer that created a program for car dealerships surrounding tires. “Long story short, he's got 1,500 dealerships across the country using the software and he has 15 people working for him and he expects to have that number to 40 by the end of the year. He's going to leave the Innovation Centre and build an office somewhere in the county. That's the kind of thing we need more of here,� Goddard said. While Goddard is new to municipal politics, Quaiff has a wealth of experience at Shire Hall having represented North Marysburgh Ward on a pair of occasions. In Quaiff's view, the role of mayor is very dependant on the character of the individual that seeks that office. “You can have a list of academic credentials but you can't assume the leadership qualities required for the position will follow,� he said. Quaiff said he has served under two mayors (Peter Mertens, Leo Finnegan) that had different approaches to leadership and governance, but both demonstrated respect for the democratic process and ensured respect for council's decisions made through this process and supported the system’s legitimacy and provided ability to function. “This experience has been invaluable to me,� he said. Quaiff said his general goals as mayor are: To maintain a safe, healthy and vibrant community; to listen to issues of constituents and ensure appropriate action is taken respecting all stake-

holders; and that sound financial decision making is maintained through the entire organization. “Whatever issues come forward or that council is dealing with now, they must be examined under those principles and that might not always be an easy exercise, but a necessary one,� said Quaiff. Former Ameliasburgh Warden and County council member Paul Boyd started his presentation in an obvious way, pointing to the fact the meeting needed to be changed at the last minute due to damage at Hillier Town Hall. “The reason we are in this building tonight just goes to show you what's happening. How could our staff and branch of municipal government (corporate services and finance) that uses seven per cent of all our tax dollars allow the ceiling fall in the hall in Hillier?� the former Ingersoll Rand executive wondered. In 2010, Boyd ran on a pledge to stop the spending at Shire Hall and get the municipality back to an even balance sheet like it had prior to 1998. “Amalgamation has not worked, when we joined, no one had any debt, now we are $45 million in debt,� Boyd said, adding red tape and high permit costs were choking taxpayers and pointed to an instance where a homebuilder in his ward had spent $17,000 on permit and hadn't yet started the excavation process. “Just try to open a business in Prince Edward County,� Boyd said. “We have 39 pages for costs when it comes to permits.� During his travels to all ends of the municipality, Boyd said taxes and roads dominate the concerns of residents and for 24 cents of every tax dollar being spent

on the county’s highways and byways, taxpayers are not getting very good bang for their buck. “Look at the state of the roads. No one listens down there,� Boyd said, referring to Shire Hall in Picton. “I'm running and hoping like minded people will join me to restore some faith and confidence in the electorate that we do care and we will listen.� Graham said from the outset in his remarks that he was “new to the game� but eager to learn from the experience around him in Hillier. The 35-year-old CocaCola eastern district manager said he was inspired to get involved in politics at the municipal level. “Something kept telling me 'You gotta try,',� Graham said. “I admit that I don't have a lot of experience, but what I can tell you is I promise to learn.� In his business dealing with local retail stores and restaurants, Graham said his passion for customer service usually causes him to go far beyond his clients’ needs. “I really think I can take this job and smash it home on behalf of the voters,� Graham said, adding he has been involved in several committees during 13-year career with Coca Cola and participated in several community events such as the Consecon Soap Box Derby and Consecon Fun Day. In his opening remarks, Hillier incumbent Alec Lunn called it a very interesting term and stated he enjoyed the work in spite of several contentious issues. The review of council size was an item he voted in favour of but added he was “very much opposed to hiring someone to do that review. I was very disappointed not be part of that review process,� he explained. At a previous town hall meeting in the ward, Lunn figures voters were split on resizing council but only a few were in favour of the proposed ward restructuring. “It will come up next term and council will have to deal with that,� he said.

Lunn also had an issue supporting fire hall expenditures in terms of both the new Picton and Consecon hall builds. “It just seems to me to spend that amount ($1.3 million for a new Consecon hall) when we could fix up the old one is a waste of money,� he said, adding some areas in the ward that were previously in the response areas of the existing hall would not be similarly suited under the new plan, causing some ratepayers to suffer insurance rate increases. Lunn called back to a contentious issues involving neighbours in the ward and he said he has tried to serve as a mediator. “Unfortunately, the only thing that happens there is that both sides agree that I disappoint everybody,� Lunn joked. But those issues quickly came up during the question period as the Hillier Creek Estates issue was dragged to the forefront. Hillier resident Bill Doull was critical with Lunn's handling of a dispute between the winery and people living along Stapleton Road, stating the councillor was more partial to the winery's cause. But Lunn said he has worked to try and stay in the middle of the issue and get both sides speaking to one another and added miscommunication between the winery and concerned citizens created a toxic situation. Another ratepayer was bitter about road maintenance (or lack thereof) in the ward “Because two-thirds of the councillors come from that end (of the county). We get diddly squat up in Hillier...It's time to start being political and if you represent the county, represent the county, not Picton,� the ratepayer said. The resident mentioned Danforth was scheduled to undergo a major work project in 1998 and that project has been put off every year. Lunn said he has supported the project every year since being elected but has been voted down by the rest of council time and again.

Bennett golf tournament raises $6,000 for youth activities Cops and Kids, Jump Start benefit from memorial event

The Brent Bennett Memorial Golf Classic was held Saturday at Wellington-onthe-Lake Golf Course and, according to organizers, the event was a big success. Bennett was a former Staff Sergeant with the Ontario Provincial Police who spent 16 years with the local force before moving to Northern Ontario in 2000. The 52 year-old was the detachment commander in the Red Lake, Ontario area before he passed away unexpectedly in April. In total, $6,000 was raised through the golf tournament, supper and silent auction and the funds will be split evenly between the Cops and Kids charity and the local Canadian Tire Jump Start initiative that helps offset the cost of sports registration for County youth. As a bonus, the Jump Start program offered to match the funds raised by organizers and that means

the coffers of the local branch will get a $6,000 boost. Organizing team member Const. Anthony Mann said the funds raised would have impressed Bennett who coached minor softball, hockey, soccer and was involved

The organizers wished to thank the many local and Quinte region businesses as well as individuals that donated time, services and goods for the event. -Jason Parks, Staff

HOROSCOPES

ARIES (Mar 21/Apr 20) Aries, your thoughts are spinning and it's pretty difficult for you to get a hold of any one thing. Take a step back and try to clear your head before proceeding. TAURUS (Apr 21/May 21) Taurus, don't let your nerves get the better of you this week. Find someone who can calm your nerves and help you realize you have nothing to be nervous about. GEMINI (May 22/Jun 21) Gemini, you have plenty of motivation to get a project started. All you need is some help to get things off the ground. Others will be inspired by your enthusiasm. CANCER (Jun 22/Jul 22) Cancer, others seem to spend time in the spotlight, but you're more comfortable spending time in the shadows. Make the most of this time for quiet reflection. LEO (Jul 23/Aug 23) Leo, you may be anxious to try a new hobby this week, but just don't know which direction to go. Get some recommendations from friends about what keeps them busy. VIRGO (Aug 24/Sept 22) Sometimes it is difficult for you to talk about your feelings, Virgo. You want to present a brave front, but you're only human and should let others in this week.

LIBRA (Sept 23/Oct 23) Libra, staying the course may be a challenge this week. You have too many things pulling you in different directions. But you'll be successful if you can get a foothold in one thing. SCORPIO (Oct 24/Nov 22) Work associates may not be holding up their end of the deal, Scorpio. You're content to help out once in a while but not take on the work of everyone else. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23/Dec 21) Use your charm to win someone over, Sagittarius. This is an influential person who will be good to have in your corner. You never know when you might need a good ally. CAPRICORN (Dec 22/Jan 20) Capricorn, if certain ideas didn't work in the past, give them another try. All of the components may fall into place this time around, and you'll like the results. AQUARIUS (Jan 21/Feb 18) Aquarius, the coming weeks may be ideal for some rest and relaxation. Plan for some downtime and make the most of this chance to recharge your batteries. PISCES (Feb 19/Mar 20) Pisces, expect things to flow much more smoothly this week than they have in recent weeks. You may find you have more free time.
