The rain was teeming down in Bloomfield late Saturday afternoon, yet Bruce Milan didn’t seem to mind the wet weather.

He was nestled in his workshop in the barn behind his Iron Forge Gallery with a toasty fire roaring and a steady stream of company visiting to watch him clank away to shape red-hot iron.

Milan said after an uncharacteristically slow Friday, Saturday was among the busier days he’s remembered as a part of the Prince Edward County Studio Tour.

“Everybody brings an umbrella and nobody minds,” he said. “Today has been really steady.”

Milan said he did receive some interest for a commissioned piece during the show and he also had a chance to show off some of his unique chairs, coat racks, and sculptures to those who would brave the rain and mud.

As an added bonus for those venturing out to see him, Milan also managed to host two guest artists.

Broom maker Raphael Kerem was nestled on a porch in front of the gallery, while potter Terrie MacDonald had the unenviable task of setting up under a tent in the yard.

Though it was chilly

and wet, the Campbellford artist said the venture was still a worthwhile one for her because of the crowds that came to see her work.

“A lot of my customers come from the county and this just gives me exposure to people from all over.,”

she said. “I’ve had visitors from the States, Toronto and Europe. The county is really becoming a centre for the arts.”

MacDonald said she has been on the tour for seven years, though this time around she was able to

particular items. This year, MacDonald had a chance to show her wares to people moving from gallery to gallery on foot in the village.

She said, however, her visitors were still engaged and knowledgeable.

“It’s a really educated public,” she said. “They ask about how pieces are created, how you think, how you work, and what you do. It’s a sophisticated crowd here.”

MacDonald’s signature pieces are forged of earthenware, a common red clay that she’s overlaid with decorative ceramics.

“I’m known for my decorations, but a lot of people don’t realize I make the pieces too,” she said. “The turnaround is probably four weeks from start to finish. I work on a lot of pieces at once.”

Though she was unable to demonstrate her techniques due to the temporary location, MacDonald said she is a big fan of the concept of a tour that offers a glimpse into artists’ lives.

“Not many people work with their hands any more,” she said. “We are losing the sense of what it takes to make the things we use every day.”

MacDonald and Milan agree that the market is generally down for people purchasing art with the slowed economy — people either don’t have the money or those who do are more cautious with it — but say the weekend works.

Voting could look a lot different in the next election if the most recent recommendation of committee of the whole is approved by council.

On Thursday Queen's University professor and Prince Edward County Citizens' Assembly project head Jonathan Rose presented the committee with the assembly's recommendation of 10 councillors plus a mayor.

The recommendation was approved by a vote of 8–6 with councillors Terry Shortt and Brian Marisett absent. Also approved by the same margin was a pro-

od without appeal in order implement the changes for the 2014 election.

Mertens said now is the time to make a decision on the size of council.

“There comes a point in time when we get to the end of the road and this council has to do what they get paid to do — and that's make a decision,” Mertens said.

“More consultation is sometimes the easiest way out.”

While there was much discussion on the assembly's recommendation, the bulk of Thursday's discussion revolved around ward boundaries with several councillors wanting to defer a decision on that issue.

posed ward configuration.

The configuration would see five new electoral wards created, with each ward represented by two councillors. The committee also approved a motion which looks to ensure that all historic ward names and boundaries remain intact with the new wards being used for elections (council representation) only.

Councillors are expected to debate the issue again at a special council meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 9.

A report from Mayor Peter Mertens provided to the committee on Thursday says a bylaw to enact the new boundaries must be adopted by Oct. 22 and pass through a 45-day peri-

Adopt-A-Child registration ends tomorrow Program offers snowsuits for families in need AdAm BrAmBurger

Staff writer

Families having a difficult time outfitting their children with proper snow apparel this winter have two more days to register for the AdoptA-Child program.

Co-ordinated by police departments and volunteers in the Quinte region, the program allows youth up to age 12 to receive a free snowsuit and pair of winter boots to stay warm in the cold weather.

"The program was set in place to assist working families," said Prince Edward OPP community services officer Anthony Mann. "It is for anyone who needs some assistance outfitting their children, whether they qualify for other programs or not."

Registration for the program in Prince Edward County has been ongoing all week at the Picton United Church on Chapel Street. Interested families are invited to visit the church today and tomorrow from 9 a.m. to noon and go through the side entrance to be accounted for.

Those who cannot make the in-person registration should call the Adopt-AChild hotline at 613-966-0882

of the closing, he has to stick with firm deadlines for enrollment. He indicated, where possible, efforts would be made to refer those missing the deadline to other agencies offering support.

The police services are still

seeking donations of new clothing for this year's drive.

Mann said that money is the easiest donation for volunteers to process as they do not yet know their needs for sizing, but he said for those wishing to donate suits and boots, items with tags still on them will be accepted. Otherwise, the program will buy one-piece suits for infants and two-piece suits for toddlers and older youth. Adopt-AChild does not typically hand out gloves or hats.

To make a donation, cheques can be mailed to Adopt-A-Child care of the Belleville Police Force, 93 Dundas Street E, Belleville, ON K8N 1C2, or to a direct post office box: Box 488, Belleville, ON K8N 5B2. Visa or Master Card donations will also be accepted by telephone by calling 613-969-5555.

Cheques will also be accepted in person at the Prince Edward detachment on County Rd. 1.

The program has been in operation since 1987. Last year, more than 1,200 children across the Quinte region were outfitted with about 160 coming from Prince Edward County. Mann indicated the organizers expect demand will be greater again this winter.

Distribution of the clothing to Prince Edward County families will take place out of the OPP detachment Nov. 1-3 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

(Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff) strived to remember especially those people who made peace and kept it under the banner of the United Nations and invited the small group of people assembled to take their cause and carry it forward in their lives.

"Out of regard for them, may our purpose always be to hold high the torch of dedicated, sacrificial service rendered for the good of others."

"It is absolutely critical that we never forget the over 200 men and women buried here who served up on the hill during the time of preparation for war and the succeeding groups of men and women who served in so many different fields, whether it be the United Nations in other far off countries, or present battles to honour or privilege to be here and assemble and to call Canada our home and our land.'

Mertens, who was born the day after D-Day in Holland, said he is hopeful the present generation will share the lessons of the sacrifices veterans made so that they may have the lives they have.

Many of those gathered through the ceremony, including members of the Legion who were on parade, speakers, and audience members moved through the cemetery decorating graves with Canadian flags and poppies and clearing off debris off stones so they could be clearly read.

Since former prime minister Lester B. Pearson suggested Canadian soldiers intervene as peacekeepers in the Suez Canal in 1956, many people from this country have served under the banner of the United Nations and some lost their lives in the field of duty.

On Saturday, during Glenwood Cemetery's annual Veterans' Day ceremonies, with the help of its partners, Royal Canadian Legion Branch 87, 415 Wing, and the 851 Air Cadet Squadron, the cemetery's board made sure those fallen soldiers would be suitably honoured in future years.

During a ceremony in heavy rain that morning, dignitaries and guests watched as Cadets Amanda Wannamaker and Brandon Sponagle ran the familiar light blue banner up a new standard in the middle of the veteran's plot, while Legion padre Rev. Bill. Kidnew offered a prayer of dedication.

"It is with a deep sense of satisfaction that we dedicate the staff to the well known and respected flag of the United Nations world assembly today," Kidnew said. "We dedicate this flag today in grateful remembrance to the many men and women of our land who served under this flag and other nations, not a few of whom have died doing so."

Kidnew said this year, the Legion and cemetery board

fore me and I am both humbled and honoured," Breton said. "I am humbled to be in the presence of those remaining veterans who blazed the path, sailed the seas, and flew the skies we are now entrusted to protect. I am honoured to carry on the tradition of service to our country and the people who call Canada home."

Breton said that service is not unique to the Canadian Forces, however adding it is "something we can all do together." He said Saturday's memorial ceremony can forward the notion of peace the 200 soldiers buried at Glenwood and many others buried across Canada gave their lives to achieve.

"Their peace — our peace — was earned, but at such a steep price," he said. "Let us be worthy of their efforts, let us pick up the torch where they left off, and let us commit anew to making each day a better one."

Breton cautioned that peace is not something won without conviction or cause and it requires men and women to "stand up for the rights of all to live free in a just, honourable society."

Also speaking at the ceremony were MP Daryl Kramp and Mayor Peter Mertens.

Kramp spoke of the poor conditions many soldiers had to endure while in service, noting it was fitting the weather wasn't exactly perfect for the ceremony.

QHC in better financial shape than expected through first quarter Slow implementation of new provincial funding formula gives hospitals added breathing room Jason Parks

Staff writer

Aggressive budgeting combined with a slow roll out of a new provincial funding formula are being credited for a rosier-than-normal Shhhh... it’s a Surprise!

financial picture for the Quinte Healthcare Corporation (QHC).

Audit and finance committee chairperson Karen Baker reported to the board of directors at QHC's September meeting Tuesday evening and said the hospital operated with a positive variance of $302,000 in the first quarter of 2013-2014.

Although QHC is currently saddled with a deficit of about $570,000 at this point in time, they were expecting a first quarter to end with the hospital $870,000 in the red.

Baker explained QHC has benefitted from a slower than planned implementation of the new Ministry of Health and Long-term Care healthbased allocation model formula for hospitals.

While QHC had budgeted for a reduction of $2.3 million in funding from the province, the actual reduction in 2013-2014 was confirmed to be only $650,000 in the first full year of the funding model roll out.

This has provided QHC some breathing room for the current fiscal year as some cost-saving initiatives have been slow to create expected savings and the hospital has seen shortfalls in other revenue areas.

One avenue of revenue recovery is a rejigging of how the hospital sees itself as a commercial entity.

It's hoped a re-examination and subsequent redesignation of its commercial footprint will realize significant tax savings.

However, that appeal to the Canada Revenue Agency has yet to be heard.

Nevertheless, Baker was pleased to bring the report to the board.

“We're very happy to be on track and report this positive variance,” Baker said. “As you are well aware, positive news budget news does not happen on a routine basis.”

The chair said with the slow rollout of the provincial formula, senior hospital administration was fore-

casting QHC to meet its budget target next March, provided there were no financial surprises.

“We're really pleased with our results in the first quarter and it shows we are operating within the plan,” QHC president and chief executive officer Mary Clare Egberts said.

Without putting the current fiscal year in the rearview mirror, Egberts did say the Senior Administration was already at work attempting to bridge what is expected to be a $5 million gap in 2014-2015.

“We've begun the process of looking at ways to bridget that gap but with putting quality first. We want to meet our strategic directions of improving our patient experience and improving our staff work life. Underneath that, we will figure out the efficiencies we need to also be balanced,” she added.

In other QHC news...

■ The hospital is reporting it has a full compliment of 10 Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Response Program (DVSARP) nurses in place.

QHC recently conducted a review of the DVSARP model and staff resources with extensive consultation with the Quinte community, staff and physicians to review and provide education on the service.

The hospital is also expected to receive funding from the Ministry of Health and Longterm Care to support emergency depart-

ment nurses and physicians in rural and remote communities to provide initial counselling and treatment.

The examination of the service and review of operations came about due to an incident where scheduling gaps created a scenario at North Hastings Hospital where a sexual assault victim was forced to wait eight hours before seeing a DVSARP nurse.

Quality of Patient Care Committee Chairperson John Embregts said there could be potentially be a gap due to unforeseen circumstances such as sick leave but that the Committee was satisfied with having a full compliment of DVSARP nursing staff.

In such scenarios where a gap might be exposed, QHC does have agreements in place with both Kingston and Peterborough hospitals to provide temporary relief.

■The Ministry of Health and Long-term Care has approved QHC to go to tender on the new QHC Education Centre, which is the final piece of the redevelopment of the Women's Christian Association Wing redevelopment at Belleville General Hospital.

Once completed in 2014, the education centre will be used for orientation, training and meetings for staff and physicians from across QHC. The for the project has been committed by the BGH Foundation, the Auxiliaries that support QHC and the Parrott Foundation.

PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY

Looking back in the

Picton Gazette 80 years ago — 1933

■ A large gathering of Picton merchants favoured the formation of an association after hearing a presentation from George S. Houghman, an executive with the Retail Merchants Association of Canada.

Mayor E.P. Cox said he was in favour of it as there would be one voice coming forward to represent the desires of retail businesses within the town.

■ Two stunting planes from the Trenton air base were to be the main attraction of a new air show at the Picton fair. The planes had been part of the great Air Pageant in Toronto previously and organizers were hoping fall weather conditions would remain adequate for their show to continue as planned.

■ Ontario’s former Attorney General and Supreme Court member Justice William Edgar Raney died in his home after a lengthy illness. Raney had represented Prince Edward County since 1927 when he defeated H.S. Colliver

60 years ago — 1953

■ The Odd Fellow and Rebekah lodges raised $824 during a tag day sale to raise money to fight cancer, polio, and tuberculosis. Children in Wellington and Bloomfield also joined in the activity to help the lodge members raise the funds.

The organizations also received more promises of donations to battle diseases.

■ Cheese makers and milk producers in the county and across Ontario were relieved to hear the United Kingdom would once again buy Ontario cheese.

News of that purchase also raised prices at home a half-cent a pound with a likelihood of greater increases.

■ The Prince Edward Agricultural Society recommended the annual Picton fair be reduced from four days in length to just three, beginning in 1954. It was felt it was too long for exhibitors and for volunteers.

40 years ago — 1973

■ The hull of the sunken Canadian Coast Guard Launch 112 was pulled from the water in Athol Bay near Owen Point by the Canadian Coast Guard Ship Griffin, however the ship broke free and sank again. Efforts to raise the sunken ship and transport it to Prescott were ongoing. The Canadian government promised a full investigation into the ship’s tragic sinking which left two crew members dead.

■ Construction crews were working to finish the Fisher Brothers Incorporated plant in Trenton. The company was to employ 60 people and a large portion of the apples it processed was expected to come from orchards in the county.

■ Politicians, service group members, and other dignitaries met to determine the county’s project for the federal Local Initiatives Fund. Among the items to be considered was a public swimming pool.

20 years ago — 1993

■ Close to 400 people turned out to a public meeting hosted by MPP Paul Johnson regarding the NDP government’s plan to impose fees for the use of the Glenora ferry and others in th region.

Many vocally opposed the proposal.

■ Rev. Dr. Earle Roberts, the Moderator of the Presbyterian Church of Canada was in Picton to attend St. Andrew’s Church’s 160th anniversary. Roberts was no stranger to the county however as a he was a part-time Sophiasburgh resident.

Campbellford’s Ferris Provincial Park has many friends

Perhaps it is the farmer in me – although I haven’t turned a furrow or eaten wheat straight from a grain bin since 1978 – that draws me back to Ferris Provincial Park every year. Could be the name of the campground too – Bedrock Campground. It’s a toss-up between the bucolic stone fences or the Ranney Gorge suspension bridge. At the end of the day though, it is likely the World`s Finest Chocolate outlet just a couple minutes’ drive into Campbellford.

Whatever the reason, we back our trailer into the same campsite every year – number 76 – and like so many other sites at Ferris, it is a spacious lot, bordered by graceful blooms of goldenrod and backdropped by the radiant blue of New England aster.

Our bouquet for the table this year was made more interesting by three yellow jackets that must have been so wrapped up in savouring the nectar from the blooms that they hitchhiked the short distance into the trailer. They never left the flowers on the table all week although I found one that had drowned one evening in my glass of wine.

There is a nice variety of habitat in our campground, accented by poplars, ironwoods and red cedars. However, it is the history of the park that I like most, and I appreciate this park more because it was once destined for the cutting room floor.

Surplus, not needed, and was one of several slated for closure in the province some 20 years ago. That’s when a

On Tuesday, the County Community Foundation will join with other community foundations across Canada in releasing reports about the communities they serve.

Prince Edward County will receive its first taste of the Vital Signs program that morning at 10 a.m. upstairs at Books & Company. The public is welcome to attend the launch and copies will be available online

dedicated group of individuals including Rotarians from the Rotary Club of Campbellford, approached both the town council and the township (Seymour) council and requested funding and permission to keep the park open in an effort to help the economy of the area. They were successful and the park never closed.

One group that has been very active in its success as an operating park has been the Friends of Ferris, formed in 1994. As well as striving to promote the natural, geological, and biological features of the park, and its cultural heritage, the Friends continue to improve the 15-km network of hiking and cross country ski trails.

My wife and I have walked the entire network of trails over the several years we have been coming to this park, and this fall we explored the rolling trails of the Drumlin Trail System.

Their full colour trail

brochure describes this trail as “hard”. We prefer to call it undulating as the route takes the hiker to the top of a huge drumlin before descending and rising again several times. It is on our list of destinations in our guided hike program for 2014.

Like most of the trails in the park, it offers peeks into the past, mainly in the form of old stone fences, painstakingly created by pioneers who once occupied this land.

Before the 500-acre property was given to the Province in 1962, four generations of the Ferris family had enjoyed it.

The great granddaughter of James Marshall Ferris vividly recalls when local residents would visit the property and enjoy the Ranney Falls on the Trent River, or wander through the woods and bask in the riot of spring wildflowers. Stone walls and remnants of foundations attest to the hardships of those who tried to eke out a living here. One stone wall between the campground and playground/boat launch area has been undergoing a total re-build in recent years and has been transformed into a precision built dry stone wall.

It is one of a four-km network of stone walls in the park. Guided hikes, special events, the installation of playground equipment, purchase of an all-terrain wheelchair, park benches along trails, and a huge picnic shelter (in partnership with the Campbellford Rotary Club), and the publication of the annual park tabloid are just some of the projects the Friends of Ferris have under-

taken since their inception.

This past year, the Friends have been hard at work building a short stretch of boardwalk across a wet area of the Drumlin Trail. As we crossed it, we couldn’t help but notice that the new boardwalk had been ceremoniously christened – by a bear!

Another improvement the Friends made this season was a number of “You Are Here” trail marker maps at strategic intersections along the trail system, a bonus for newcomers to the trail to trace their progress on their hike.

President Barbara Hogan emphasizes that Ferris is a “natural gem in Trent Hills and we don’t want Ferris Park to be on the closed list ever again.”

Memberships at $10 help in supporting their cause and can be sent to The Friends of Ferris, Box 504, Campbellford, Ontario K0L 1L0.

Things are looking promising. Assistant Park Superintendent Rob Cunningham says 20 new hydro campsites will be installed this year. Ferris Park is administered through Presqu’ile Provincial Park. And no visit to Ferris Park is complete without a walk across the 300-foot long Ranney Gorge Suspension Bridge, swinging some 30 feet above the Trent River. You just have to experience that.

and at various locations.

The organization is hoping the document it produces will lead to both talk and action on a number of hot-button issues that have been identified by residents of this county.

“Our goal is that this will not be just another report that sits on a shelf and doesn’t get used,” said the foundation’s executive director Bridget Stevenson. “We view it as a tool

for action.”

The report is expected to combine available statistics about the region with input arising from three community forums that were held in July with the help of the United Way of Quinte.

Project co-ordinator and board member Brian Beiles said the report will not be taking a position on the key issues it has identified, but rather it is hoped

that its analysis will offer questions to start discussion and debate.

An advisory task force has been set up to follow through with the report and Stevenson said it is also designed to complement the current strategic planning exercises the County’s community development department is undertaking.

New County political system is progress from current model

COUNTY council appears to have got it right by moving forward with a plan to streamline its own size prior to the next election, just as a majority of the voters answering a question about council size directed them to do in the last election.

The citizens’ assembly’s recommendation of 10 councillors and a mayor is more in line with the level of representation many Ontario municipalities have at present and it would make sense that a smaller group of people would be more efficient around the table at Shire Hall, which should come in handy when council needs to work on its budget or make a quick decision on an opportunity.

While many were concerned about the size of council, some also raised their voices to talk about the idea of proportional representation. On this issue as well, it appears council has hit a nice balance with its five-ward system of two councillors each. Each ward comes very close to having 5,000 people in it and all the members sitting at the table will have a similar constituency behind them. Other systems, including one that advocates at-large voting would not achieve this goal.

The proposed boundaries also appear to group areas geographically where residents would have common interests and would likely be inclined to elect representatives who would have their best interests in mind when at the council table.

Some people have been critical about this format because they say it ignores historic boundaries and because it splits the county from the status quo that it came into amalgamation with, where most of the current wards were previously stand-alone municipalities. By removing those boundaries politically, one hopes the County can move on and a sense of unity can be forged that has not been present to this point.

That said, this County does have some distinct communities and one can see why people might be fearful that they’d disappear with change. In some urban areas, the opposite has been the case. With representatives that deal with larger areas, traditional communities have rallied around the idea of keeping their identities and formed neighbourhood associations that have worked extra hard to ensure their own character remained and was not swallowed up by the whole. There is no reason citizens cannot be active in their own regard and there is no reason they cannot associate with people in whatever geographical subdivision they see fit. The new electoral districts are simply ways to elect councillors who will fight for their own constituents and the good of all the municipality. If they don’t recognize each area’s distinct needs, they likely will not carry the vote in this arrangement.

That also brings us back to council size. While people elect councillors to speak for them, they are not excluded from bringing their own opinions to Shire Hall either. There will still be diversity of voices, just a different array of people to consider them.

DiscARTed art show RECOMMENDATION AND RECOGNITION and sale returns to County libraries

DiscARTed, the popular fundraising art show and sale of creations from discarded books is happening again this year from Saturday, Oct. 19-26.

Launched last year in celebration of Ontario Public library week, the show featured a wonderful collection of works that delighted and even surprised visitors in its breadth of talent and originality.

There were imaginative collages, sculptures including an over five foot high tepee created entirely of books, cakes made from books, a life size gown, delicately crafted figures, jewelry, and many other inspired creations.

Artists and members of the public interested in taking part this year are invited to read the guidelines and fill out an application.

The deadline for applications to participate is Oct. 4 and these must be filled out and delivered to the library to the attention of Christine.

Applications are available at all branches of the library. Guidelines are also available online on the library blog, accessible from the website at: www.peclibrary.org Once applications are submitted, artists can collect free books destined for recycling from the Picton branch of the library to create their pieces.

Fifty percent of the price of pieces sold will be shared between the library and The Prince Edward County Authors Festival with the other 50 per cent retained by the artist.

“This was such a unique and successful show last year,” says Library CEO Barbara Sweet, “and we are very much looking forward to seeing what will be created this year.“ Last year’s event raised $741 for both the library and PECAF.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Fair board prides itself on its affordable rates

I would like to reply to Jeanette. Arsenault’s letter to the editor in the Sept. 19, 2013 issue of The Picton Gazette. (Lower admission fees might boost attendance at the Picton fair.).

Regarding the family arriving at gate on Sunday , the last day of the fair at 4 p.m. and was charged full rate for the last hour of the fair. Sorry, but they would have had to arrived well before for any gate attendant to be present.

It’s obvious that Arsenault does not read any of our advertising in the local paper or on our web site www.pictonfair.org or she would not have made some of the statements that she made in regard to entry fees.

Admission fees after the fair opens are adults - $8, student – 13 years. to 17 years — $5, children 12 years and under – free, parking – free .

Weeks prior to the opening of the fair on Friday, all entry tickets are discounted if purchased before fair opening, for anyone wanting to take advantage of the discount, there is also a special rate of $6 (Friday Only) for all nursing homes, Community Living residents, group homes et cetera including staff that accompany the resident, if purchased prior to fair opening.

As for the cost of rides on the midway, their rates are set by the company that operates the midway. They do offer with our assistance a chance to purchase advance all-day ride passes at almost half price.

Please note: There is a good number of Ontario fairs that charge a flat rate of $10 across the board and no allowance for school children, nursing homes et cetera and they also charge extra

for their entertainment. Our gate rate includes all entertainment.

Our vendors’ rates are kept at a level that most vendors can afford to pay, a large percentage of our vendors are local county mom and pop-operated small businesses. To increase the vendor rate would be a financial hardship and possibly a deterrent.

We at the Picton fair pride ourselves that we are able to use local companies, employees and service clubs.

Our electrician is local, our gates are manned by the Kiwanis Club of Picton Inc., parking is done by the local Kinette Club of Picton, refreshments provided by the Picton Rotary Club, Prince Edward 4-H Association, Demorestville Women’s Institute provide meals for volunteer staff and the Cherry Valley Lions Club provide

the tables in the food court and this is a fund raiser for these service clubs.

With the exception of some poultry, cattle and horse prize money 99 per cent of the paid prize money stays here in the county.

The Picton fair is put together with the most generous group of volunteers that I know, they come, they go and ask for nothing. If you think that the fair is put together by waving some magic wand, think again. For some it is a 12-month on going project, as the 2013 Fair closed, planning has already started for 2014, .

As to being less people in attendance, our records show that even with a rainy Saturday that our attendance was up.

Bees. A sign of summer.

Cute, fuzzy little good guys who buzz around flowers and give us honey. What’s not to love ?

And they do so much more for us, too. Bees are critically important to the Canadian agricultural industry, pollinating an annual $2 billion worth of fruit and vegetables each year. Bees pollinate 30 per cent of our food and 90 per cent of our trees, flowers and other plants. We really can’t live without them.

Why would anyone want to hurt a bee. Or kill millions of them? Yet it seems that is exactly what we are doing.

Ontario honey bees and bees around the world, have been dying en masse in what is

called colony collapse disorder. Bees are under tremendous pressure, from disease, from mites and from fungicides and pesticides, used extensively in agriculture.

Despite debate over what is causing this terrible morality, that much is indisputable. Bees are dying at a catastrophic rate. The European Union has approved a two-year ban on a group of pesticides called neonicotinoids (NNIs), used extensively in corn production.

Studies by Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) show that Canada’s farming practices involving corn and soybeans treated with NNIs are ‘not sustainable’. However, despite this evidence,

Canadian farmers such as the Ontario Grain Growers Association oppose a ban.

Health Canada therefore does not propose to ban the pesticides, merely to ‘improve’ package labels and require safer seed planting practices.

Also to explore other options that would allow continued use of the pesticides. This is not good enough. It is outrageous in the face of all the evidence, not to immediately ban these pesticides.

Let`s not squabble about what is hurting bees more – disease, climate, or pesticide use. We must tackle all the problems. The bees need all the help they can get. If you wish to comment on the

agency`s foot-dragging, you can go to the Health Canada web site and click on the Action to Protect Beees from Exposure to Neonicotinoid Pesticides. You could also write about concerns to both our federal and Ontario government representatives and sign the Ontario Beekeepers on-line petition to ban the use of NNIs. If you would like to learn more about these fascinating creatures and how to help them, the Picton branch of the library is hosting a free presentation by beekeeper Gavinn North of Honey Pie Hives and Herbals on Tuesday, Oct. 8, at 7 p.m.

I was pleased to read Ray Hobson's comments in last week's Gazette concerning the facades of new buildings in the County. I fully agree that there should absolutely be more attention paid to, and even forced compliance with certain standards of image in the County. We all know

that visitors have an important economic value and one of the aspects they like most is the small town feel and look of the downtown areas.

I've long felt that look is fast diminishing. We now have two fitness facilities on Main Street within a block of one another and a

potential Shoppers Drug Mart (why do we need another pharmacy?) will only add to the town having a 'chain-store' look.

Why leave home for that?

There were certain parts of Toronto that forced chain stores to adhere to the prevailing look in the area and I think Prince Edward

County should strongly consider and implement a visual look that will continue to attract people to the area and to create a sympatico of facades before we go the way of so many other small towns.

Putting the garden to rest for winter

LOCAL NEWS TIP?

Please call our newsroom at 613-476-3201

ASK A  MASTER GARDENER

KATHY MACPHERSON

move it down through the soil all fall and early spring.

If you have lots of trees then lots of leaves will be falling this month. Rake them up, run over them with your lawnmower and put them in your garden or add them to the compost pile unless they are black walnut leaves. Black walnut leaves contain a toxin called juglone which should not be added to your gardens.

It’s best to leave any heavy mulching of gardens until the ground freezes later on in November or December. That will allow the ground to freeze evenly and not to heave up. Evergreen boughs make terrific mulch around acid loving plants like hydrangeas and rhododendrons. When the Christmas tree is ready for the county compost heap in January, you might want to remove some branches and spread them under those

plants.

You can cut back perennials now or you can leave them alone and see if they will decompose over the winter in the garden. I do a little of both. But I remind myself that there are a lot of gardening chores I’d rather be doing next spring than cutting down vast amounts of last year’s dead foliage so I do spend some time tiding up the garden this time of year. The birds appreciate it when I don’t cut back the Rudbeckia and Echinacea as they feed all winter on the seed heads.

Peonies are the exception; it’s important to clean up the foliage and get it out of the garden. The foliage will flop down when a hard frost hits and if left in a heap could promote fungus. I employ the good graces of my husband and his string trimmer. I hold up the foliage and tell him how low to the ground to whack it off.

All the foliage I remove from my garden goes in the compost pile except any that that has developed powdery mildew or other diseases which I bag and send to the dump or put in the fire pit. Cleaning up the garden is a good thing but manicuring it before winter is not necessary or even desirable.

Next week we’ll conclude with more about putting the garden to bed and taking care of tools. Meanwhile, if you have any specific questions, just send an email to askamastergardener@xplornet.com and we’ll get an answer back to you directly.

Gardeners often ask about what needs to be done to get a garden ready for winter. The answer is that you can do a lot or you can do a little and the garden will be just fine either way. However, there are a few important chores to get done before the ground freezes up and two others that need doing right away.

The two chores you need to do right now are fertilizing your lawn and transplanting perennials.

Fall is the most important fertilization you can do for your turf. I was in several garden centres this past weekend and noticed that there are still a lot of fertilizers that are high in nitrogen and low in phosphorous and potassium for sale. Those are spring and summer fertilizers and you don’t want to use them now. You want something like a 12-3-18. The first number is nitrogen, the second is phosphorous and the third is potassium (potash).

Potassium is what feeds the root system and keeps it strong through the cool and cold seasons. Look for fertilizers that say “winterizing� or “fall� on the bag.

Move any perennials that you want to relocate.

Don’t wait much longer though because you want the roots to get established in their new location before the ground freezes.

You can plant spring bulbs anytime until the ground freezes up. Don’t forget to add a little bone meal to each hole before the bulb goes in. If you have compost, add it to your gardens now.

Public board says enrollment decline more significant than projected Jason Parks

Staff writer

The number of pupils attending Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board facilities is down over the 2012-2013 school year.

In the age of declining enrollment, this would hardly be news.

But it was revealed at the Board's monthly meeting Monday evening at the Education Centre that drop in the number of students attending public schools in the region are down even beyond projections senior administration made at the end of the past school year.

In terms of elementary school students, the board

At the start of the summer, the board had expected to be down just 87 students this fall.

At the secondary level, the drop is even more drastic.

A total of 5,598 secondary students were enrolled locally last year and that number has declined by

numbers as accurate as possible,� Miller explained. “It is disruptive to the system and that's not the scenario we want to be in.�

As the school board works with a provincial funding formula that provides funding on a perpupil basis, projections that are off the mark will likely result in a budget alterations subsequent staffing and class size changes.

Director of education Mandy Savery-Whiteway said senior administration will examine the September imbalances and chart a course of action. “It's part of our reg process that we examine the budget quarterly so we are working through that with our senior admin team and school administrators,�

She explained.

The Director added the Board was in year four of a five year roll out of full day kindergarten and the final implementation of the program next year should rein in the declining numbers of students.

Both Miller and SaveryWhiteway are holding to the board's earlier beliefs made from long range studies that show the Quinte area should see a steadying in numbers of school-aged children in the near future. “Based on our projections, we anticipate our enrollment will stabilize in 2015-2016 and yes, we believe that will be the case,�

While an answer to why the early projections weren't close to the actual number of bodies in desks at local public schools was off by a substantial amount is forthcoming, so is a strategy to deal with a drop in student population. “I think you can see there is potential for some staffing impact and there are processes we need to work through to evaluate what needs to be done,�

Miller said. “Across the system there are fluctuations so we are looking at each school group to understand what's happening.�

Miller agreed that the numbers being as far off as they were would lead to a difficult time for some board staff, especially in an setting where educator retention is crucial to the board. “It's difficult and it speaks to why we strive to get those

Taste Community Grown festival expanded with events all weekend Mess dinner with movie, concert, cycling tour added AdAm BrAmBurger Staff writer

This weekend's Taste Community Grown festival will offer a much broader array of local flavour than in past years, thanks to efforts to spread the event over the whole weekend.

Taste The County and Great Waterway officials came together at Hagerman's Farm Market last Friday morning to offer a sneak preview about what they hope to showcase â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that is what it is like to live in and experience Prince Edward County.

"The last weekend in September is a celebration about what a community can accomplish when it comes together," said Taste chief executive officer Jeremiah MacKenzie. "With the new programming, we are focusing on authenticity â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the authenticity of what the Prince Edward County experience is. We can all stand tall and we can be proud of what we are showcasing during the Taste weekend. To me, I

think we're showcasing the best place on earth."

The celebration will begin tomorrow night at the Loch Sloy Business Park, where a capacity crowd will dine on a fourcourse meal, replicating the experience of the mess hall at Camp Picton. That will be coupled with the movie Stories We Tell, an entry in the Kingston Canadian Film Festival and music by Kristine Schmitt and Special Powers.

"You can step back in time and visit Camp Picton," said Amy Wager-Mayhew, the Taste programmer.

"We're excited to bring a bit of history, culture, music, and local culinary as well."

Saturday during the day, the festival will feature its classic gastronomic treasures as an expanded group of food producers, restaurants, winemakers, and beer and cider masters will show off their wares between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Tickets are $25 each or there is a $90 family pass for two adults and two children under age 13. There is a full lineup of children's programming including bread making, puppet shows, apple butter creation and homemade pizza while the adults attend the age of majority tastings.

Also, a farm and artisan market will be available for members of the entire family.

Meanwhile, a wide range of seminars are planned on topics ranging from pasta to fish and spices to wine, while the celebrity pie auction for the Edith Fox Life and Loss Centre and the County Chopped cook-off return after popular debuts last year. This time around, defending Chopped champ Matt DeMille takes on fellow chefs Lynne Underhill and Tim Henning.

"We're continuing to focus on what community grown is," said MacKenzie.

"We are going to showcase the very best farmers, food producers, wine, beer, and cider producers and chefs.

They're all coming from across the region."

The event just doesn't end when the food runs out, however. Saturday

night, the Picton fairgrounds will play host to a concert headlined by rising country stars High Valley.

Paul Ferguson, the program director for the sponsoring Cool 100 radio station says he believes there is a natural fit between the group and the event itself.

"I immediately thought you got the right act for the right event," he said.

Ferguson said the three brothers come from a Mennonite family that was kicked off a plantation in Mexico for farming with a truck two generations earlier. They migrated through the United States, entered Canada at Leamington, Ontario and headed west to Alberta.

"They're legitimate farm boys, they know all about agriculture and their rise has been incredible," said Ferguson. "They've got attention from Billboard Magazine, where they were named one of the 10 acts to watch in 2013."

Opening for High Valley

in the Back 40 Bash are Autumn Hill and Lindsay Broughton, both of whom Ferguson said were also coups for Taste to book.

"On the 27th of May at the Country Music Association of Ontario awards, for the rising star award there was a tie â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it was Lindsay and Autumn Hill. So there you have two of the rising stars of Canadian country music opening for a fast rising act on the international scale."

Tickets for the 7 p.m. show are $25 and are available at Re/Max offices across the Quinte region. Buses are also available from Wellington and Waupoos at a cost of $5 per rider.

The celebration concludes with the Kiwanis Colour Cribbage Ride Sunday as cyclists can choose to ride 100 kilometres, 50, or 25.

"You can cycle down some scenic roads and burn of calories from the night before," said Wager-Mayhew.

New collective agreement gives County employees annual wage increases County claims it will save $235,000 a year as inside employees give up their paid lunch hour Staff writer

Council approved a new collective agreement with over 100 municipal staff members at a special meeting last week.

A new three-year agreement with Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Local 2275 was approved by council Thursday afternoon. The new collective agreement applies to 102 outside and inside municipal staff members, including roads crews, water operators, maintenance workers, and inside office staff.

A release from the

cation out to the public that the offices will be opening earlier at 8 O’clock and closing later at 5 O'clock and so we'll get an additional hour total at no cost to the public. It's better service at no additional cost.”

The County says the extra hour of service time is valued at $235,000 per year.

Dewing said it's not certain when the office hours for Shire Hall will change.

“We have to talk internally about the logistics of communications and changing our notices and our website and everything saying our office hours are now 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.” he

said.

The settlement also gives employees a one-time hourly wage increase of $0.40 and a two-per-cent annual wage increase, which the release says will bring wages closer to comparable employers and improve “the County's ability to recruit and retain staff.”

Mayor Peter Mertens said the recent corporate realignment left many municipal employees unsure of their future.

“The 2012 corporate realignment left staff with a feeling of uncertainty and ambiguity,” Mertens says in the release. “The

Restructuring focuses on customer service

Municipal staff to receive new training Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

The fifth phase of the municipality's corporate realignment — enhancing customer service and staff development — is now underway.

A release from the municipality says Phase 5 of the realignment focuses on customer service and staff development.

“While the realignment of the corporate structure sought to improve effectiveness and efficiencies, staff development and training will support the sustainability of the organization, while improving customer satisfaction,” the release says.

The release says the municipality has already begun to institute several staff development initiatives.

Mayor Peter Mertens says in the release he looks forward to the changes.

“The County underwent significant structural changes over the past year,” he says.

“I am pleased that we are continuing in a direction of long-term financial sustainability and look forward to providing improved service to the public as staff training and development rolls out.”

New customer service training will look to provide all staff will new abilities to assist both colleagues and coworkers as well as the public.

A career development program will also be provided and will look to help staff develop skills “through continued education, on-the-job learning, secondments, or through mentorship.”

“The program is a shared responsibility between both the County and staff participants. Participants are asked to give back to the community in a tangible way,” the release says. “A number of opportunities have been identified, including volunteering with services for seniors, local festivals and community events, Hastings and Prince Edward fire training complex, H.J. McFarland Home Men’s Club, the Wellington Archives, the 4-H Club and community theatre.”

The fifth phase also includes a provision where managers and supervisors can be provided with leadership training to enhance feedback and coaching skills as well as conflict resolution techniques.

The release says more than 30 staff have already signed up to take part in group training for computer and software skill development, leadership skill development, writing development, and conflict resolution skills.

“Investing in staff training helps to recognize and capture staff potential that may otherwise go unseen, while creating opportunities to cultivate from within,” the release says. “In addition, it supports the County’s strategic objective of providing an efficient, effective and responsive municipal organization.”

Make every day national grandparents’ day

Preparing this column on Sunday, Sept. 8, I realized that it was national grandparents day. According to the website of the Canadian Association of Retired Persons, Marion McQuade, a devoted granddaughter from West Virginia, created what is currently known as national grandparents day in recognition of her grandparents.

For over four decades, national grandparents day has been celebrated in Canada and the U.S. in an effort to evade loneliness -a major fear and stress impacting older adults as they age and one of the many reasons McQuade wanted this day on the national calendar.

More importantly, this special day encourages grandchildren to spend time with their grandparents (if possible) to learn about their treasured values and heritage.

National grandparents day began in Canada in 1995 when motion number 273 was submitted in the House of Commons by MP Sarkis Assadourian.

It read: That, in the opinion of this House, the government should consider designating the second Sunday in September of each year as grandparents day in order to acknowledge their importance to the structure of the family in the nurturing, upbringing and education of children.

National grandparents day falls each year on the first Sunday after Labour Day. It's not a holiday

invented to sell cards and flowers. It was initiated in the U.S. at the grassroots level by West Virginian Marian Lucille Herndon McQuade, with the behindthe-scenes support of her husband Joseph L. McQuade. They had 15 children, 43 grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren, and one great-great grandchild.

There are three purposes for national grandparents Day: to honour grandparents; to give grandparents an opportunity to show love for their children's children; and to help children become aware of the strength, information and guidance older people can offer.

The above two paragraphs are taken from the website of the Legacy Project. Read more about the history of the U,S. grandparents day at legacypro-

ject.org While Sept. 8 this year was the official grandparents day, any day can be grandparents day.

If you’re the grandparent, call your grandkids and say “hi”. They’ll quite likely be very happy to hear from you. And if you’re a grandkid, I know from experience, that grandma and grandpa would be happy to receive from you a call, card, voicemail, Facebook message or visit anytime. Pick up the phone. Today is the best day to talk to your grandparents.

Councillors’ code of conduct defeated in tie vote Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

The latest revival of council's code of conduct appears to have been short-lived.

The code — which was modified at a Sept. 10 committee-of-the-whole meeting and was approved in an 8–7 vote — lost at Tuesday's council meeting by a recorded vote of 8–8.

Councillors Nick Nowitski, Dianne O'Brien, Terry Shortt, Jamie Forrester, Alec Lunn, Keith MacDonald, Brian Marisett, and Janice Maynard voted in opposition to the code.

The document outlined roles and responsibilities for the council and the mayor and detailed expected behaviours as well as a formal complaint procedure. The code previously failed by a vote of 10–5 at a March council meeting, but was resurrected at the request of councillor Kevin Gale this month.

Marisett said he didn't agree with the code.

“I do appreciate the half of council who appear to be very supportive of (the code) and I see value in it too, but I have some concerns with how it could be applied and how it could impact council,” he said Tuesday.

Given there are many issues that stir up spirited debate between council and sometimes members of the public, Marisett said his primary concern was the code could be used as a political tool.

“I've seen on this council and previous council where it's been pretty close to borderline harassment that some councillors have had to face,” he said. “I have concerns (the code of conduct) could be a tool that some people could take advantage and make life very difficult for members of council.”

Councillor Jamie Forrester has also been outspoken in opposition. He said

current practice is working.

“We have a system in place right now that I don't think is broken. The mayor stated last week that he hasn't exercised his right to correct some of the problems that may or may not be there,” Forrester said. “It's almost like a referee in hockey saying 'we need to add more rules, it's out of control' but has never called a penalty.”

Mayor Peter Mertens, first introduced the document and has said many municipalities are moving to put codes in place. He said issue appears to be dead for now.

“This is not the first time it has lost. We attempted it again and we didn't get the required votes, so it's put away for this year,” he said.

He said he was disappointed following the vote.

“It was something that we should have. It's something that our constituents expect from us,” he said.

Greatest hits night opens festival 10th anniversary concert celebrates past favourites

On Friday, Sept. 20, the Prince Edward County Music Festival kicked off its gala tenth anniversary season with Festival’s Greatest Hits at St. Mary Magdalene Church, featuring artists who have appeared in past seasons, in a program of favourites from previous years.

Soprano Donna Brown opened the program with two songs by Franz Schubert, with Artistic director Stephane Lemelin at the piano. Her silvery-pure voice was made for these songs, and her elegant phrasing proved a bonus.

For The Shepherd on the Rock, a perennial audience favourite, she was joined by clarinetist Ross Edwards.

Both displayed great virtuousity in negotiating the coloratura passages, while maintaining the poem’s shifting emotions, as the shepherd on the mountaintop laments his lost love.

2010 composer-in-residence Steven Gellman describes himself as a “neoromantic” and this was evident in his Quartet for Piano and Strings, performed by Jacques Israelovitch, violin, Aaron Au, viola, Tanya Prochaska, cello and Stephane Lemelin, piano. The piece, composed during an emotionally difficult time for Gellman, began with short, dramatic phrases from all four instruments, progressing to more lush melodic motifs as the piece progressed, somewhat Brahmsian in tone, but with the work maintaining a dark sonority throughout, using much of the instruments’ middle and lower registers.

When the musicians returned after intermission, we found that the Gellman piece was an effective pre-

In REvIEw CELINE PAPIZEWSKA

cursor to the evening’s finale, illustrating the festival’s motto, “Bridging the Old and New”, through its sonorous relationship to Brahms’ Piano Quartet in G Minor. Full of lush melody, and with extensive use of the cello leading the aural palette, the piece came to a close with a lively folk dance motif, “a la zingarese”, that brought the audience to its feet in appreciation.

Saturday evening was given over to comedy, as Prima Donna Mary Lou Fallis and pianist Peter Tiefenbach were More or Less Live in a program of musical parody, ranging from Viennese operetta to Las Vegas lounge. The highlight for this reviewer was the “contemporary Canadian content”, based on a poem by the fictional prairie poet, Sarah Binks, which had Tiefenbach tucked under the piano lid, plucking the strings as Fallis shrieked melodically before crawling under the instrument to provide percussion. Bridging the old and new indeed! The audience responded throughout the evening’s antics with gales of laughter.

On Sunday afternoon, the Gryphon Trio opened their program with the mathematical structures of Josef Haydn’s Trio in C Major, demonstrating the clarity, precision and grace that have won awards and

accolades around the world. This was followed

by Scales of Joy and Sorrow by 2011 composer-in-residence Marjan Mozetich.

Likewise featuring a precise mathematical and geometric structure, it nevertheless carries intense spirituality and sensuality within its scales, phrases from violin and cello tumbling over one another in upward flights, grounded by the piano, wherein the intervals and silences between that instrument’s notes carried as much weight as the sounds. It was a treat to hear this remarkable piece played by the artists for whom it was written.

The afternoon ended with Antonin Dvorak’s Trio #4 in E Minor. Dvorak was a master of melody, and gave free rein to this gift in a piece that alternated melancholy song-like phrases with bouncy folkdance rhythms, all imbued with a Slavic flavour. The richness of harmony left the listener amazed that three instruments could produce so symphonic an aural landscape.

Tickets are still available for the live, fully staged performance of Puccini’s beloved opera, La Boheme, at the Regent Theatre tonight and for the Festival finale at St. Mary Magdalene on Saturday, Sept. 28, followed by a reception for audience and performers.

Puccini’s story of tragic love amongst the young artists of Paris is one of the most popular of all-time.

Bring your hanky!

The Festival finale will feature the flying fingers of pianists Stephane Lemelin, David Jalbert and Andrew Tunis, culminating in a sixhand version of Rossini’s overture to The Barber of Seville. Thirty fingers, one keyboard — and you thought Twister was a complicated game!

Craig Dick, Mortgage Agent

For a successful real estate sale, it helps to know who or what controls the sale of your house.

The first one we have all heard many times, Location-Location-Location. Location is a fixed asset and you cannot change where your home is located. Most homeowners are looking for a home in a certain area, so location is often most often the number one criteria for buyers. You could have the absolute perfect home for a buyer, every aspect of the home meets the criteria, but if you want to live in Napnaee and your home is in Belleville, they are not going to buy your home.

Secondly, the marketplace controls how much your home is worth. Hiring an agent who is intimately aware of local market values can help you navigate this element with minimum stress. You and your agent have no control over this element. What you paid for your home, the cash you need out of sale, how much you still owe on the mortgage, all of these have absolutely nothing to do with the value of your home. The value is determined by the buyer. How much the buyer is

Control Your Home Sale!

willing to pay for your home in today’s market based upon comparing your home to those currently old and are on the market.

Property Condition is an element that is controlled by the home owner. First impressions are so important, if on the outside the landscaping is overgrown, the paint peeling, and the front entry is dirty, that’s not a very welcoming sign. If the inside of your home looks worn and cluttered, hasn’t been updated since the seventies or has unpleasant odors, it will not sell for top dollar nor will it sell quickly, if at all. Too many homes sit on the market because of the condition of the home. This is why many realtors encourage professional home staging as part of the home selling process.

With the property condition up to the home owner, the marketing strategy is controlled by the real estate agent. In today’s market, it is critical you hire an agent that understands the importance of technology in marketing a home for sale. Ninety percent of all home buyers begin with their home search on the internet. Knowing where those buyers are looking, both nationally and locally, is the key to getting your home in front as many perspective buyers as possible.

Lastly, initial asking price is one of the

most crucial elements and is controlled by the home owner with guidance from your agent.

The initial asking price is one of the largest stumbling blocks in successful selling a home. The first 30 days is the prime marketing time for a home. If the home is in good condition and is properly prices, it should sell quickly. But an overpriced home sits on the market with very little activity. Overtime, the homeowner will lower the price closer to the market value and fir or not, perspective buyers begin to wonder why it hasn’t already sold.

Out of the five elements in the sale of your home, the homeowner controls two of them. Besides location, which is fixed and can’t be altered, your real estate agent controls the other two elements, so it is wise to choose an agent carefully who will work closely with you, get you top dollar for your home and sell your home quickly using strategic marketing plans.

Re/Max associates offer real support for marathon Realty firm mans water stations on race days adam BramBurger

Staff writer

Supporting the Prince Edward County Marathon has meant more than just cutting a cheque for the Re/Max associates involved with the project over the past 10 years.

Since the inaugural race, the realtors and brokers have taken it upon themselves to man the water stations across the 42-kilometre course to give the runners the hydration they need to be successful in reaching the finish line year after year.

"The first year I grabbed everyone I could from the office because they needed volunteers," said agent Christine Hendon. "Then (fellow agent) Jim Wait said 'Why just help out, why don';t we take care of organizing the water stations."

Partners From left, Marathon race director Mark Henry,

and technical advisor Tim Johnson receive a support cheque from Re/Max’s Sean McKinney right as associates, from left, Christine Hendon, Darlene Eldridge, Tony Scott, Tammy Beaumont, Marc Ouellette, Colleen Green, Colin Hendon, and Mary Jane Mills look on. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

From then on, the company has had its associates forego selling homes during the race to ensure they're welcoming the many athletes taking to the course.

Tim Johnson, a local runner who finished as high as fourth place in the race said

they have provided a valuable service.

"It's essential for us runners to get our nutrition and energy," he said. "It helps us to get from start to finish. If we didn't have Re/Max to man those water station, there is no way the runners would

have made it through every year."

Race co-ordinator Mark Henry acknowledged that Re/Max has been loyally supporting the event each year over the past decade and in addition to volunteering, he said their support has helped in many ways. At present, Re/Max is the sponsor of the halfmarathon race.

"They've stood by us since Day 1 and we're looking to celebrate with them as we are now the Quinte area's largest sporting event," he said. "We can't do this without their hard work."

Henry said the organizing committee of the annual Boston Marathon qualifying race is working hard to ensure it specially recognizes the efforts of all the volunteers and sponsors who have been with the race from the start to help it grow and prosper.

This year's County Marathon will take place Oct. 6. To register or volunteer, visit www.pecmarathon.ca.

Officials with the Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board are happy with the trends indicated in the most recent round of Education Quality and Accountability Office tests results but admit there is still work to do.

up four per cent) “We were very excited to see the improvement in our Grade 6 testing,” director of education Mandy Savery-Whiteway said “What we know is that it's very important to have improvement over time we don't want it to be up and down or spiking. We want to see an steady increase over time.”

While those numbers show improvement, they match trends with the provincial average (reading — 77 per cent, writing — 76 per cent, math — 57 per cent), meaning the board isn't gaining any ground in mirroring other Ontario English-language boards.

JOEL WALKER - ELECTRIC -

Just west on the Loyalist Parkway, oil painter Stewart Jones and his wife Rebecca Hunt were busy showing off their new Studiohouse PEC. The couple, with roots in Kingston, combed the landscape from Hwy 7 to Lake Ontario looking for the right community to own property in and they ultimately liked the culture of the county.

They spent time renovating the 1860s era building they believe might have been a carriage house into a space to use as an art studio and a space to host community events. The studio tour proved an outstanding venue for them to introduce themselves formally. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been busy,â&#x20AC;? said Jones. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People have been poking at me all the time.

They want to know who I am, where Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m from, and what I do. They noticed we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t here last year.â&#x20AC;?

Jones has been established in Toronto art circles for several years and has also shown in major markets like Miami and New York.

His specialty is painting city buildings in the low light of the late afternoon and the early evening.

Visitors responded to his art almost instantly as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I sold a little piece right off the bat Friday, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to get that monkey off your back right away,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Despite an urban feeling to his art, Jones said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be just fine here in the county.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already noticed interesting buildings in Wellington and Picton heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to paint and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s snapped photos of architecture and alleyways in nearby Belleville and Kingston as well. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also planning to be on the tour for a long time, signing up for its executive committee.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t not do it, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re part of an artistic community here,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really looking forward to being part of that scene here.â&#x20AC;?

Across the village, the last remaining original member of the tour, Mark Armstrong, said he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember a worse weather day in 20 years than Saturday, but said it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been busy, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s come in fits and starts,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding many people flocked together to see him work his craft in his dedicated shop. Throughout the event, Armstrong was giving 15-minute demonstrations where heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d mix a small bit of concentrated reheated coloured glass with new clear glass at temperatures exceeding 1,100 degrees Celsius to make tumbler glasses.

Though his craft requires extreme precision and timing, Armstrong showed a passion for entertaining his audience while he worked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really part theatre and part spectator sport,â&#x20AC;? he said of the demonstration.

Knowing when to heat, when to blow air, and when to use tools to shape his pieces, Armstrong was then able to put them into a computerized cooling furnace that allowed him to program the temperatures and rates of cooling for several pieces at a time before theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hardened enough to sell. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a science he has learned to master. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was likely a time when they buried their glass in the sand and hoped it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shatter,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come along since then, but you still have to be very exact,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Because he has mastered that and turned out some beautiful pieces, people still come out to see him work â&#x20AC;&#x201D; rain or shine.

— Horoscopes —

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 A blue mood is nothing to worry about, Aries. It is just your body telling you that you may need to slow down a bit. Take heed and you'll recharge in no time.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, you are beginning a contemplative phase of life right now, but you won't have to sacrifice your social life to do so. Take a few days off from socializing and then return.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Try to avoid any deep conversations or controversial topics this week, Gemini.

Right now it's best if you focus on more trivial matters and enjoy yourself.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, give yourself more time to figure everything out if you are feeling indecisive about someone. Don't forge ahead without feeling entirely comfortable with the person.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, don't drop everything you're working on to address a developing issue at home.

Others can handle the situation just as well as you, so keep your focus on preexisting tasks at hand.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, listen to friends and family members when they encourage you to try something new this week. Trust your instincts, as they seldom turn you in the wrong direction.

Answers

clowning (Mid. Eng.) 33. Lose resilience 34. Syrian pound 35. Finishes

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 You have no time for gossip this week, Libra. Your plate is already full at work and at home, so avoid getting caught up in anything that compromises your focus.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, though it may feel like others are flying past you while you're slowly plodding along, eventually things will even out and you'll end up where you need to be.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Create some plausible plans for the future this week, Sagittarius. Keep a journal to help you keep track of your ideas and make sense of your plans.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, your generosity finds you devoting much of your time tending to the needs of others this week. Enjoy your time helping others and don't be afraid to accept their gratitude.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Don't get too hung up if your week is all work and little play. While your schedule might be hectic in the coming days, some relaxation time will arrive this weekend.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, make the most of new opportunities that present themselves this week. The effort you put in will pay off in due time.

In loving memory of a dear Grandpa,

Roy Aulthouse

who passed away October 1, 2012 "A grandpa is a father, a grandpa is a son.

A grandpa is a husband, all grandpas are loved.

Some grandpas have hair while others are bald.

Some grandpas fish and others like hunting.

A grandpa can be more than just a grandpa though.

A grandpa can be a friend who knows how to have fun.

All grandpas are special to many other people.

But no other grandpa is just like mine.

Grandpas are unique in many different ways.

No two grandpas are alike my grandpa might not be like he is now.

But even if that happened I know one thing that's true.

My grandpa will always be a special person to me."

Always in our hearts, Love Jonathon, Krista, Matthew, Jenna & Lydia

It's lonely here without you, I miss you more each day For life is not the same to me Since you were called away.

To your resting place I visit, Place flowers there with care, But no one knows my heartache, When I turn and leave you there.

Love Dad.

In loving memory of our Grandson “GRANDSON” is such a special word A word that brings to mind A big warm smile, a helping hand A way of being kind.

Devotion to the family A word of patience, too GRANDSON is such a special word Because it stands or you.

Miss you & love you Tyler Grandma and Grandpa Cory xoxoxo

May 13th, 1992 - October 1st, 2010 In a sudden tragic accident three years ago today, we lost our “Tyler”.

The moment that you eft us Our hearts were torn in two One half filled with heartache The other died with you.

We often lie awake at night When the world is fast asleep, And take a walk down memory lane With tears upon our cheeks.

Remembering you is easy We do it every day, But missing you is a heartache That never goes away.

Your memory is our keepsake With which we’ll never part, We know you’re in God’s keeping We have you in our hearts.

Love you always Ty...

MEMORIAMS

We miss you each and every day Sometimes the words don’t come our way, The day you left us was such a shock, The time stood still on the clock.

It’s still so hard to believe you’re gone The memory of that Friday night stays strong.

We have felt your presence in times of need And we thank you for the signs, we love them indeed.

We miss your smile, your eyes and red hair, Not a day goes by that your name we don’t share.

We’ve made the poems and tattoos just for you, We feel it’s the only thing left that we can do.

So give us the strength to keep moving on, For family and friends, your light has shone.

Tyler, we cherish the time we had with you For you, our hearts and love will forever be true.

Till we meet again Love Always & Forever Doug, Dawn, Brandon, Amanda & Kirk

Ameliasburgh councillors object to their ward being divided in proposed structure

to fix the imbalance in representation this time, it is likely that outsiders will impose a costly solution upon us, without our input and without our approval.â&#x20AC;?

Mertens urged residents to talk to their council representative and let that councillor know what they want for the municipality.

Councillor Bev Campbell made a motion Thursday which says that any new electoral wards will be used

for voting and will not affect the historic wards or boundaries. Campbell also made the motion to select the fiveward configuration. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our options are clearly at-large or two wards or five wards. The difference between at-large and two wards is pretty minimal,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The proposed five-ward option â&#x20AC;&#x201D; identified as 5b in Thursday's report â&#x20AC;&#x201D; overlays the historic wards and

adopt new ward boundaries is not approved in time for the 2014 election, council has until the end of this term to approve new boundaries.

7,&2

The municipalityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s information technology department was asked to make maps that would fit both a two-ward and five-ward system and balance the population in each ward, Mertens said at Thursday's meeting. The result was four maps â&#x20AC;&#x201D; two five-ward maps and two two-ward maps. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They did a number of different scenarios which tried to maintain as much of the integrity of the (former) municipalities as possible,â&#x20AC;? he said.

In an op-ed piece distributed to local media on Tuesday, Mertens addresses the residents of Prince Edward County.

He said the municipality is â&#x20AC;&#x153;at a crossroadsâ&#x20AC;? in how it is governed. Mertens notes in the piece that 81 per cent of those who answered the question on the 2010 election ballot said they wanted council to review council size. He also notes that 81 per cent of the citizens' assembly members were in favour of 10 councillors and a mayor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first, and by far the most important reason we must move forward is because that is what you have asked us to do,â&#x20AC;?

Mertens said in the piece. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We asked you for direction â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you answered. Now we are morally compelled to listen. Our credibility is at stake.â&#x20AC;?

He argued that it is time for council to act and not doing so could be costly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have consulted widely. We have debated long and hard,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If council is unable to make a decision in this community

will only be used for voting. The new wards are identified by number only.

Each new ward would have roughly the same population with Ward 1 at 5,157, Ward 2 at 5,162, Ward 3 at 4,944, Ward 4 at 4,937, and Ward 5 at 5,058.

The option was not favourable for Ameliasburgh councillors Dianne O'Brien and Janice Maynard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You cut the heart right out of the community by doing this,â&#x20AC;? said O'Brien. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It's not going to fly in Ameliasburgh, it's absolutely not going to fly.

And we're going to have to deal with it again.â&#x20AC;?

Maynard said she didn't believe councillors had been given enough time to look at and possibly make changes to the proposed ward configurations presented Thursday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Clearly you are dividing the former ward of Ameliasburgh and taking a huge chunk of it â&#x20AC;Ś you now have people on Marsh Road and Huffs Island point in the same electoral district as people down in North Marysburgh,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Ś This is not consen-

Power play pushes Dukes use extra man to their advantage to win pair assistant Pirates to win in New coach Randy Rowe has unit Amherstview clicking early Picton has early jump scoring four times in first 14 minutes Sunday ChaD ibbotson

Staff writer

Three straight first period power-play goals highlighted a positive start to the regular season for the local Junior C hockey club.

The Pirates were in Amherstview on Sunday to take on the Jets. Picton's season-opener couldn't have gone much better for them; in front of opposing fans the Pirates took a 5–2 victory.

Just 5:46 after puck drop Geoff Cleminson found the back of the net for Picton, banging in a rebound. Brian Bunnett and Chris Jones had the assists.

The Pirates were buzzing and at 6:01 Amherstview's Zach Masterson was assessed a minor for high sticking. Picton didn't waste any time getting things set up and at 6:45 Jack Davison fed the puck to Ryan Sizer who put it in the back of the net. Bunnett had the other assist on the goal.

The Pirates would increase their lead to three, this time off the stick of rookie Miles Levtov who fired the puck from the blue line. The power-play goal was assisted

by Davison and came at 9:40 of the first with Joylan Gorman in the box for high sticking.

Davison would add a goal of his own to go with the pair of assists at 13:12. With Brody Taylor in the box serving minors for tripping and unsportsmanlike conduct, Davison finished off a play from Kenny Murduff and Evan Greer.

The team moved the puck quickly and smart in the first, Pirates coach and general manager Ryan Woodward said a release on the club's Facebook page.

“We had some good looks and finished around the net,” he said.

As the game entered the first intermission the Pirates had built themselves a solid four-goal lead.

The Jets came out with a lot of jump to start the second and just 19 seconds in Cody Stapely beat Picton goalie Andrew Pearson.

The Jets weren't able to build on that momentum and neither team was able to

JaCk DaVison

add to their goal totals in the second. The same couldn't be said about penalty minutes, however. The teams combined for 24 minutes in penalties in the middle frame.

“We got too cute in the second and third period; I want the guys to be aggressive and shoot more, but it’s still a work in progress,” said Woodward. “The PK did the job and we got some important saves from Andrew Pearson. Special teams are a huge part of the game and had a big impact on the outcome tonight.”

Again Amherstview came out hard and were rewarded early with Josh Leblanc scoring 1:35 into the period, but Picton quickly turned the momentum in their favour.

“The first few minutes of each period are important and allowing goals against can have a major impact on the game. This is something we will want to address prior to Thursday,” said Woodward.

Newly crowned Pirates captain Greer made the score 5–2 5:40 into the third with Levi George and Cleminson getting the assists.

Picton continued to generate most of the chances through the remainder of the period.

The Pirates take on the Jets again tonight at 7:30 at the Prince Edward Community Centre. The club is inviting fans to come early to watch the unveiling of the 2012-2013 OHA Schmalz Cup championship banner before the game.

On Friday the team travels to Port Hope to take on the Panthers. Puck drop is at 8 p.m.

There's a scene in the movie Slapshot where a Charlestown Chiefs fan approaches beleaguered player/coach Reg Dunlop (played by the late Paul Newman) in a hotel lobby and tells the aging star that the club must stop losing and they should “Get the power play together.”

Dunlop doesn't break stride and replies with a passing “Yeah, we are working on it.”

Last season, that might have been Wellington Dukes coach and general manager Marty Abrams attitude when it came to the club's play with the man advantage.

Neither by hook nor crook could the Wellington Dukes figure out the power play in 2012-2013, finishing at the bottom of the OJHL barrel with a meek proficiency rate of 13.8 per cent.

But it's a new season and the club appears to have figured out how to make the other team pay for their minor misdeeds.

This past weekend, Wellington (3-2-0) went 5 for 13 in their man-advantage situations in a pair of wins over Georgetown and Whitby.

Ironically, Abrams is crediting a former Johnstown Chief (the team the movie Slapshot was based around) for getting the power play together and producing positive results.

Assistant coach Randy Rowe spent parts of four seasons wearing Chiefs colours and has the club mastering the fine details that can make or break a man advantage situation.

“He's bringing a lot to the table and it's the finer points of the game,” Abrams said.

“He's taken on a lot of responsibility with the powerplay which has been very good for us early on in the season. He can take the credit because he's been key in us producing.”

In Whitby on Sunday, the club went three-forseven on the powerplay in a 5-4 shootout win over the Fury.

Erick Delaurentis and Andrew Coupland both made Whitby pay in the first period with powerplay markers and Trevor Cope potted a breakaway chance en route to a 3-1

Wellington lead in the opening frame.

Whitby scored a pair early on in the second to knot it at 3-3, but Wellington once again jumped out into the lead after the Fury took a pair of mid-period penalties.

Enjoying a 5-on-3 advantage, Cody Gratton fed Spencer Turcotte with a cross-crease feed at the 12:16 mark to get the Dukes back in front 4-3.

Wellington would cough up the lead later in the second but both teams locked down the offensive chances in the third.

With overtime solving nothing, the contest went to a shootout which was Wellington's first of the 2013-14 campaign.

The club managed well last season, going 6-2 in the penalty shot competition and Wellington started this season out on the right foot, picking up the extra point Sunday thanks to goals from Luc Brown and Cope.

stopped both Whitby shooters at the other end and turned in a 35 save effort in picking up his third win of the season.

Steven Deeg was victorious in his return to Iroquois Park, the place where he played his first four junior hockey seasons for the Fury.

“He was excited and nervous,” Abrams said of Deeg prior to the puck drop.

“He certainly played hard and well and he got his return to Whitby out of the way. He spent four years there and that's a long time to play on one junior team.”

Deeg has been one of the leaders for Wellington early on in the campaign, doing it both on the offensive side of the puck and showing the same heady knack in his own end that he possessed from the start of his career.

Deeg picked up a goal and an assist Friday night in the club's home opener against the Georgetown Raiders.

Up 2-1 in the second,

Deeg made a great pass behind the Raider net to find Delaurentis.

With Raider tender Micheal Stalidis looking one way, Delaurentis went the other, stepped in front of the Georgetown cage and deposited the puck for Wellington's third of the night.

With the game still in the balance in the third, Deeg's unit was called upon to shut down Georgetown's snipers.

It was perhaps fitting then that Deeg wound up firing home an empty netter in the late going to seal a 4-1 Wellington win.

Georgetown got on the board first at 8:02 of the opening frame when Brendan Jacome dropped the puck for Michael Courvoisier and the winger wristed the puck through Machalski.

That was the only flaw for the Dukes starter who made 37 stops in the win.

Junior Panthers pounce on Tigers Seniors net win in season opener Danielle Willis has hot hand with 23 points against Trenton AdAm BrAmBurger

Staff writer

AdAm BrAmBurger

Staff writer

Following a difficult building season in 2012 where they couldn't net a win, the PECI Junior Basketball Panthers showed what experience can do in their season opener Thursday.

The Panthers were firing on all cylinders early as they translated a 15-2 lead after the first quarter to a 43-18 victory over the Trenton Tigers. PECI outscored its opponent in each quarter.

"The girls worked hard in the off-season," said coach Andrew Wentworth. "A lot of returning players came back and we expected to get a jump start, but that (margin) was even a bit of a surprise for who we were playing."

The veteran presence and leadership of second-year players certainly paid off as the likes of Hailey VanRossum led the charge being aggressive on defence and forcing the Panthers' transition game. The biggest story of the day, however, was the effort put forward by Grade 9 forward Vanessa Willis who put up 19 points and seemed to be able to drive to the basket at will against the visiting Trenton team. She showed she can be a force on Bay of Quinte courts.

"She had a great game.

She's not afraid to play," said Wentworth. "She showed that she understands the game and she has confidence."

In support, VanRossum chipped in eight points, sophomore Marlee VanVlack had six, and centre Lydia Dick added four. Mallory Lindsay and Summer Morri-

son also found the net.

Wentworth said he was pleased by the balanced effort his players showed, adding all of the new Panthers brought skills from the County Clippers and Panther Hoops programs to the table in order to step right in and play from Day 1. He indicated the juniors can take advantage of their first game effort and build from it as the season progresses.

"To build the confidence of the team, wins are huge.

We focused not only on building confidence but on setting good habits," he said.

"Good teams will work at one pace and great teams will work at a higher pace. It was a good game to take advantage, learn, and develop."

According to Wentworth, the Panthers responded to

some of the mistakes they made and adapted well.

They were also aggressive and competed hard for every possession.

Junior basketball is hard to predict as several players on all the teams are stepping into new roles, but Wentworth is confident his team is capable of pushing into the upper echelon this year.

"We know we can aim for the top three. We'll set the bar very high," he said.

The Panthers were to face a real measuring stick as they played the always-tough St. Theresa Titans Tuesday night. Today, they'll be at home against the Centennial Chargers for a 6:30 p.m. tipoff. PECI will also host an invitational junior tournament this weekend.

It was a tough learning experience for the PECI Senior Basketball Panthers this weekend, but the plus side is they've improved a lot and they won the game that mattered.

On Thursday, the Panthers turned in a balanced effort to defeat Trenton 4836 at home.

Early on, it looked like PECI was going to easily run to victory as they built up a 10-point lead, but the Tigers came back with a 17point second quarter to narrow the Panthers' lead to five points.

Trenton's Chealsey Mondoux-Hebert was the main benefactor of some easy looks at the basket as she managed to put up nine points that quarter alone. That said, the Panthers didn't slow down and they managed to adapt to shut down the Tigers.

"We said to the girls, you've got to do the little things right," said coach Rob Garden. "You can't allow penetration and you have to rebound. They were a much bigger team. We didn't let them get three and four shots and that eliminated a lot of second-chance opportunities."

The question of who was going to score for the Panthers also appeared to have been answered that afternoon by Danielle Willis.

Playing her first game as a senior regular, Willis put up 22 points including a pair of three-point shots in the fourth quarter that sealed the game.

"She really came to play," said Garden.

Guard Melissa Paradis

Farm

&

had eight points, Lauren Matthews five, and Brittany Snider four.

Overall, Garden said he was pleased with the effort.

"For our first game, we got a 48-point score on the board, they all played, and they all contributed. That was a good start for us," Garden said.

The Panthers took that

first-win high to the Limestone city as part of the Taylor Allen tournament. Right off the bat, they were put into the fire against the hometown LaSalle Black Knights, the top-ranked team in EOSSAA with many returners from an OFAA berth at the 'AA' level.

Kingston tournament offers learning experience Two county schools exceed

PANTHERS, from page 37

The Knights showed their aggression early and it flustered the Panthers who gave up an 11-0 run right at the start of the game. PECI battled through it, Garden said, and they became more patient with the ball. They tied the second quarter and were only outscored in the fourth by one. Ultimately, they lost 42-13 and Garden said that was the result of some inexperience showing offensively against a rather stingy defence.

"We couldn't get many good looks and instead of staying patient, we started

to take really bad shots just hoping it would go in," Garden said, The next game, the Panthers would tip off against the Arnprior Redmen. The teams matched up well and battled defensively with just two points separating them after three quarters, but Arnprior had an extra push in the fourth to win 44-32.

"We ran out of gas physically and the girls couldn't stay emotionally focused and made too many mental mistakes," Garden said.

The Panthers managed to take more shots against Arnprior, putting the ball

toward the net 58 times, but only made 12 baskets.

Michaela Jackson led scorers with eight points.

Finally, PECI came into its third game of the tournament Saturday morning and Garden said they looked visibly tired, which helped them learn about conditioning, about rest, rehydrating and refueling after games. The Panthers started with a 10-4 lead after a quarter, but with fatigue showing the Opeongo Wildcats battled back to take a 34-33 lead with just 30 seconds left.

The Panthers were called for a loose ball foul, the

Wildcats were in a double bonus situation and managed to sink both shots to lead by three. With seven seconds left, the Panthers got a timeout and ran a perfect three-point play to Willis for a good look but the shot didn't fall. Hanna Smith had a strong game with 14 points.

Garden said he felt the Panthers showed big improvements from Game 1 to Game 3, which was their goal for travelling to Kingston and he felt it would help them in league play this week with St. Theresa visiting Tuesday and Centennial tonight.

standard in all categories

EQAO, from page 27

While the trends at grade six were positive, the grade three results showed primary grade school children could use some extra help.

Scores in reading (57 per cent, no increase) writing (62 per cent, down one per cent) and math (55 per cent, down three per cent) are cause for concern for the board, especially when compared to provincial averages (reading-68 per cent, up two per cent ,Writing-77 per cent, up one per cent, and math-67 per cent, down one per cent) that seem to be mostly trending upward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will analyze all the results, we will combine other student achievement data and and then we will

make sure we have the strategies in place to support all students to do their best,â&#x20AC;? Savery-Whiteway said.

At elementary schools in Prince Edward County, results were all over spectrum.

Among the leaders in the class room at both grades three and six, Kente Public School and Massassaga-Rednersville Public Schools exceeded in the provincial averages in all categories.

Meanwhile, Queen Elizabeth school was unable to achieve the board average in any of the three categories in either grade.

Busy week ahead with five games for Wellington

DUKES, from page 36

Wellington would erase the Georgetown lead and establish one of their own by the end of the first curtesy of a pair of (what else?) powerplay goals.

Mike Soucier zinged home a wrist shot at 13:45 thanks to a nice Coupland feed and, then, almost exactly four minutes later, it was Coupland pounding it

through traffic thanks to a Soucier pass.

Wellington is in Hamilton this evening to take on the Red Wings before coming back to the Essroc Arena for a Friday night tilt with the Stouffville Spirit.

Wellington then runs a gauntlet of three tough road tests, visiting Newmarket (Sunday), Cobourg (Monday) and Aurora (Wednesday).
