Electrical fire causes $250,000 damage, claims three pets’ lives
Public to be given six months to make Town Hall proposals
JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER
Prince Edward County Fire Crews were kept busy Sunday and Monday, battling three blazes in a little over 24 hours. On Monday afternoon, firefighters from Station One (Picton) were alerted via 911 calls of a fire at 32 Talbot Street, at the corner of Ackerman Crescent. Prince Edward County fire chief Scott Manlow confirmed that the rear of the home was well involved by the time crews arrived on scene just before 1 p.m. In addition to quelling a blaze at the two-storey home, fire crews had to battle the blazing heat with day time temperatures reaching 40 degrees Celsius after the humidex is factored. “We had EMS on scene to monitor the firefighters’ conditions and it was determined by them that one of the guys was suffering from heat exhaustion and it was recommended that he go to Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital to be examined by doctors. He was later released,” Manlow said. In total, the home suffered approximately $250,000 in damages. Manlow explained the fire crew was able to keep the fire at bay and to the rear of the home however there was excessive smoke and heat damage throughout the rest of the house.
tique condo hotel for a few wealthy tourists, a centre of gathering where many and all could be included and involved,” she said. She said she's discussed the town hall with a lot of locals who have used it for many different purposes. Rochon asked councillors to envision the hall as a hub featuring live music, vendors, food, and meeting spaces. “We feel we could turn this historic building of ours into a financially responsible community centre — a true market square for all of your citizens,” she said. She said in order to accomplish that vision, the public need more time to establish volunteer groups, meet with residents, and confirm known uses and potential interests. She also asked for time to access the hall's financial information and physical needs. “We're asking for that time to be, ideally, 18–24 months with a progress report in six months,” she said. Former councillor Bev Campbell said she's been a resident of Picton for 22 years and in that time there hasn't been a month where she has not been in the town hall.

Manlow said the fire was electrical in nature and not suspicious.

As council sat to discuss the process that could decide the future of Picton Town Hall Tuesday evening, there was a common request from the public: More time. Councillors heard similar requests from more than half a dozen residents during the meeting. In the end, council voted to list the town hall and former fire hall for potential sale through a request for proposal (RFP) process while inviting alternative proposals for the use of the building. There was one change over the motion approved at the special committee-of-the-whole meeting of Sept. 19. Both sale proposals and alternative use proposals would have a common deadline of six months following the issuance of the RFP. A similar motion had been proposed at the special committee meeting, but received little support. It was another meeting that featured compelling arguments and plenty of passion. Lynne Rochon said while there were some excellent emotional arguments made to the committee, she felt residents didn't fully convey what the hall could become. “Imagine instead of a bou-

A ceremony of remembrance including the playing of Amazing Grace, Reveille and The Last Post, a wreath laying and the lowering of flags took place at Glenwood Cemetery’s Veteran's Day on Saturday. The annual tradition of honouring the 300 or so known soldiers (and the many more who are not notated as such) took place under serene skies as about two dozen members of public observed the ceremony and were joined by both members of the Royal Canadian Legion as well as active Canadian Forces members and 8 Wing Pipes and Drums. Glenwood Cemetery chair Sandra Latchford said the volunteer group feels very passionate about making sure those that have served are honoured for the time they gave and or the lives they gave in service to Canada. “This is truly a special occasion at Glenwood where we gather once a year to remember

the sacrifices made for our freedom,” Latchford said. Legion Branch 78 padre Rev. Bill Kidnew offered a prayer, thanking almighty God for the opportunity to honour those whose graves and memorials are lovingly remembered today both in the veterans plots as well as those scattered about the Glenwood grounds “It is in faith we continue to commit the souls of all who we remember today in our most gracious care and it's in gratitude we recall the service they
rendered as they sought to do whatever they could to defend freedom and uphold its values,” Kidnew said. “We embrace those who we honour today prove ourselves worthy of the sacrifices made on our behalf those paid the ultimate toll.” Lt.-Col Cathy Blue, Commander of 8 Wing's Logistics and Engineering Branch, spoke on behalf of active service members joining the ceremonies and said the 62-acre plot of rolling hillside in west Picton is a place designed for reflection.
“This is such a peaceful place where you can reflect on the history of this region, the history of Canada, reflect on those who bravely gave their lives in service of their country or afterwards. From the War of 1812 and onward they are buried here and many are not known to be veterans. They served, came home, lived their lives and were buried at Glenwood Cemetery,” Blue said.

Return to single-weekend studio tour produces steady business for artists They came in and wanted to know what made me paint and how I got started and it was really exciting as an artist to have that type of connection with someone interested in my craft,” she said. “The chance to talk about the creative process is why I joined the Studio Tour.” Lalaland Glass Studio northwest of Bloomfield was a paid a visit by PECI's Venture Program students on Friday afternoon and artist Kirei Samuel was happy for the opportunity to show off not only her fused glass creations but the process by which she craft's them. In operation for a decade and a part of the Studio Tour for every one of those years,
New participants benefit from exposure, discussions with guests JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER
Tallies are still being taken but is appears that return to a single weekend for the 2017 Prince Edward County Studio Tour was a sage move. The event returned to a familiar three-day slot this past weekend after being spread out over two weekends in 2015 and 2016. Chair Dale Wainwright reported some studios in the county's outlying areas were busy all weekend long. “We had reports at the wrap up-party that they were constantly busy from open to close which was fantastic,” Wainwright told the Gazette. Others might have seen a slight decrease but Wainwright said she won't know the hard numbers until participating studios complete surveys. Whether buying or browsing, it was clear everyone wanted to talk art this weekend. Wainwright said moving art is always the goal of a Studio Tour however exposure and discussion are nice side benefits. “What we find is there are a lot of emerging artists that are stating out and want to talk technique and marketing and it's great for our artists to get feedback from the art community and people who love art,” Wainwright said. “They can spend months in a studio so opening their doors, discussing their art and finding out what visitors like and what they might see in a piece is something good and productive.” The 2017 edition marked Loyalist Parkway artist Pene-
Samuel explained that showing consumers (and particularly young ones) the difference of hand made and commercially mas produced products was a task she undertakes whenever someone walks in her studio. “We are losing the concept of hand made,” Samuel said. “I tell them why our price point is different than you see in the stores and what you are getting for that value.” Samuel makes all different types of creations that start out as large sheets of glass and are painstakingly crafted with some pieces taking 30 to 40 hours to create.

lope Patrick's first time on the studio tour. Patrick started her artistic journey with life drawing using charcoal and pastels and then transitioning to oil-based paint. More recently, she's used the acrylic medium because so much of her work starts at the scene and the paint is so portable. In her development as an artist, Patrick has taken to combining acrylic fluorescent paint with her charcoal drawings for a new take on an old creation. You are always growing and trying different things and I never want to stop growing as an artist. Patrick developed a yearning to portray dilapidated buildings and exclusively took on that task for the better part of three years. “I really love buildings that
have been neglected, these buildings that had a story to tell,” Patrick said. She recalled a house on County Rd. 4 that had seen better days that is now simply disintegrating and one side has collapsed. “That little building used to be someones home and I like to paint them in such a way that showed some respect, add colour and gave them life capture both sides of the story, the life and the death,” Patrick added. After welcoming her first visitors on Friday morning to her home studio and gallery on the shores of Picton Bay, Patrick was ecstatic about the experience.

Legion bench, anchor moved to Mariners Park New pathway, relocated items unveiled after memorial service JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER
Several dozen people attended a solemn memorial service at South Bay United Church on Sunday morning as part of a commemoration to those that have served on the waters. The 83rd annual Mariners Memorial Service was held to remember those connected with marine life in Prince Edward County people who and lived, worked and served on the waters both surrounding the municipality and beyond. Between the warm weather and busy weekend, Mariners Park Site curator Diane Denyes-Wenn said attendance was unfortunately slightly lower than in years past. In previous years, the event has attracted upwards of 75 people. The names of those who have served or have supported Mariner’s Park and the Prince

Edward County Museum system were remembered by the ringing of a ship's bell and the service included many maritime-themed hymns, poems and a sermon by Rev. Steve Spicer entitled 'Anxious Departures'. After then service, members of the public, Royal Canadian Legion Branch 78 and councillors Bill Roberts and Steve Ferguson took part in a pair of dedications at the museum. As part of the downsizing operations undertaken by Branch 78 after the sale of the Ross-
McMullen house, a memorial granite bench and anchor honouring those that have served in the Canadian Forces Navy as well as the Merchant Navy was re-dedicated. “We thought this was a good location for this memorial bench and it wasn’t a problem to donate it here to Mariners Park Museum. It’s a good new home,” Branch 78 vice-president Tom McCaw said. Denyes-Wenn agreed. “On the site there really wasn't any memorial to the merchant marine or navy, so this makes a
nice fit and from its location, you can see the entire site from that bench seat,” the Curator added. Denyes-Wenn also thanked the Creasy family who were instrumental in transferring the bench from the former Branch site in Picton to Mariner's Park. An unveiling of newly engraved stones at the memorial walkway between the church and museum also took place. In his remarks, councillor Bill Roberts said the memorial service was a moving ceremony in that it “causes us to remember not only the sacrifices made by mariners but the dedication and challenges others make today while in harm’s way” and that includes police officers, search and rescue technicians and firefighters who heed the call regardless of the conditions and the peril they might face. The stones, which featured county names such as Goodmurphy, Cole, Bongard and Thurston are part of a third series of engravings for the memorial. Those interested in memorializing anyone that has served on the water, supported the museum system, been a lighthouse keeper, commercial or avid sport fisherman, et cetera. Are encouraged to contact Denyes-Wenn at 613-476-2148.

She added this region has given so much support to the Canadian Armed Forces through the years from nearby Deseronto and Camp Rathbun where the Royal Flying Corps trained a century ago to the establishment of the British Commonwealth Air Training Program “which this area was so vital in supporting. Those brave men were part of the aircrews and techs so vital to the Allied flying mission in World War II,” Blue said. Among those buried at Glenwood and honoured on Saturday are six airmen who died while training with the No. 31 Bombing and Gunnery school in the early 1940s. “This cemetery is a final resting place for those killed for those brave endeavours. It's also the resting place for countless other veterans from all of our forces that bravely fought in the first and second world wars and before in the conflicts that have come after,” Blue said. “Thank you for the wonderful opportunity to remember those here at rest in the cemetery as well as those veterans who are here on parade with us today that have given so much. They have worked at home and abroad to ensure the aims of the Canadian Armed Forces were achieved and represented Canada abroad.” After the remembrance ceremonies and the laying of memorial wreaths, those in attendance gathered at the Glenwood chapel for the re-dedication of the Boulter Cannons which have been relocated from their previous home a the RossMcMullen house to the cemetery.

Despite record setting heat Tuesday, a small team of ladies was in the South Bay United Church kitchen that morning working tirelessly over a hot stove. Whatever the weather, they’ve been doing it since February. Mostly members of the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Auxiliary, canning crews have been putting in extra time to get preserves, jams, jellies and sauces ready for the annual Festival of Trees sale. They drive from as far as Huyck’s Point and Wellington and many are regulars in a program that has attracted about 20 volunteers, though usually six to eight are involved in day. In their cooking and canning sessions, which usually last about four hours, the volunteers whip up three or four different recipes in a day and usually leave their station with about 40 jars they’ll sell in December to benefit the hospital.
“Our last count was 950 jars of different things,” said Bev Thompson, one of the organizers. Thompson, who has taught home economics at the university level, teaches some of the techniques she’s learned over the years. While some came from formal schooling, she said many came from her mom. Most of the ladies involved have been canning and preserving for several years and she noted most of them have recipes and techniques that were passed down to them too. “Everybody comes in with some different twists on recipes,” she said. A few years back, the Auxiliary started having a bake sale at the Festival of Trees. At first it made $1,600, then $3,000. Eventually, someone had an idea to try preserves and the sale totals have gone up and up, often in increments of $1,500 a year. Last year, more than $7,000 was raised and this time around, Thompson said the goal is $9,000. “It usually does very well,

Vendors enjoy first Taste of festival in its new location in a hangar at Loch-Sloy Saturday Visitors sample from more than 40 booths at culinary showcase JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER
From all accounts, the move by Taste Community Grown from the traditional Crystal Palace to a historic airplane hanger at LochSloy Business Park was a good one. And timely. Both vendors and attendees at the annual sip, savour and sample get together tried their best to imagine baking under the glass of the Crystal Palace on one of the hottest days of the year While the hanger was anything but frigid on Saturday, the layout allowed a respite from the blazing sun and a westerly breeze made conditions palatable. “It's been a great transition so far and I think this is a great year to have this event here at LochSloy.� Lyndsay Richmond of Ephra Events told the Gazette Saturday afternoon. The local planning company included vintage tractors and agricultural displays amongst the 60 vendors which ranged from farms, restaurants and service groups to wineries, breweries and artisans. Huff Estates Winery general manager Jason Sharpe took time from pouring the 2015 South Bay Merlot to comment on the attendance at the 2017 edition. Sharpe was impressed by what he saw.

“It's nice to have a little bit of change and try something new. Sometimes you have to build things up but we've got a really good attendance and the day isn't over yet,� Sharpe said. In terms of the weather, local winemakers were happy about the late summer heat wave. After a very wet spring and cool summer, the blast of late September heat was doing local grape crops wonders. “It's really going to be a bumper crop by the looks of things,� Sharpe offered. Sally Peck of Sugarbush Vineyards admitted she was concerned about the potential for under-developed grapes until summer weather made an extended and unexpected return.
“This is probably the coolest summer we've had in almost ten years and we are very happy to have this heat wave,� Peck said as she poured another glass of Cabernet Franc for a return taster. “There was a real concern that we would be going into the fall with grapes that wouldn't be ripened.� Jocelyn Buggie and Scott Wright of Sunnydale Farms in Waupoos were busy near the front entrance of the hanger preparing batch after batch of their sweet and salty kettle corn that's infused with their own maple syrup. “It's been a pretty busy afternoon,� Buggie said. Sunnydale offers four different varieties of farm-grown popping corn in kernel form available

at the store shed in Waupoos as well as the County Farm Centre. One of the latest additions to the county's culinary scene was The Mill PEC Gastro Pub in Consecon. Chief Sebastien Schwab was crafting mushroom mousse adorned with quick pickled red onion and micro greens on a slice of Humble Bread's light rye. Micheal King, operator of The Mill said the restaurant has been open for about six months and taking part in Taste Community Grown was great opportunity to raise awareness of the northwest Prince Edward County eatery. “We are looking to get our name out there and make the public is aware that we support all our local farmers, craft breweries and wineries and use their produce when ever possible,� King said. “We are currently developing a fall menu to take advantage of all the great produce grown in Prince Edward County.� One of the more unique storylines on Saturday in the hanger setting was offered by Brandi Wilkes who's aunt Helen is none other than Helen Bradley who was Canada's youngest female pilot when she earned her wings in 1955. She earned them in a plane stored at the very hanger where the event was being held.
“She was licenced by grandfather Mel Bradley when she was in Grade 12,� Wilkes said. As she sipped a Prince Eddy's Brewery offering, the Gazette asked Wilkes what her aunt might think about her niece
enjoying some of the best Prince Edward County food and drink offerings in the hanger where she took flying classes. “She would love it,� Wilkes said.

COMMENTARY
It’s time to remove anthem spectacle and turn focus to solutions
DID you see the highlights from the game Sunday? No, we don’t mean that beautiful goal or that bone-crushing tackle. There was film of one group of athletes taking knees and another group standing tall. Each move was analyzed again and again and that’s before the first whistle even blew. The national anthem has again become a spectacle at sporting events with U.S. President Donald Trump threatening that athletes who don’t stand should be fired and even more athletes — in many cases with the support of the owners who pay their salaries — choosing not to follow the practice they’ve been taught generations to pay respects to those who have fought for freedom and the country that allows them the lifestyle they lead. It all seems to be more reason to simply remove the playing of the anthem before professional and collegiate sporting events. In a world where every act and every movement is a political statement, it’s time to remove this outdated convention and remove the opportunity for the anthem to be used for grandstanding of any nature. Before athletes like Colin Kaepernick or Bruce Maxwell took their stand by dropping from their feet, there were plenty examples of spectators who didn’t take the anthem seriously enough one way or the other. They talked, they walked, they ate and generally it was considered a formality by many anyway. Weren’t there better ways to

Without wading too far into the debate about politics in sports and entertainment — celebrities have earned the right to use their status to advocate for the causes they believe in and ownership and fans have similarly earned the right to spend their money supporting whom they choose — the national anthem spectacle really isn’t solving much, other than to let people know the political climate in the United States, and likely Canada too, has become incredibly divisive and polarized. It’s time for politicians and public figures to move beyond the rhetoric and take actions that aren’t just gestures for show. Trump should be focused on explaining what tangible policy actions he’s taking to address issues like racial profiling and wealth distribution. Similarly, those who don’t like his direction should be articulating their preferred solutions for change or going a step further and using their status to effect what changes they can offer. While there is much to celebrate in any free nation — and it should be celebrated — it’s unfortunate that many feel they can’t wholeheartedly join in that celebration. Moves to foster inclusion and social cohesion are important in that goal. So, too, is removing the pageantry and symbolism associated with the national anthem and simply getting into the game.

Stories From Our Past 1937
n Liberal premier Mitchell Hepburn and Conservative leader Earl Rowe each spoke before capacity crowds in Picton on the same day at the same time. Each speaker drew not just partisans, but also members from the opposing party at the Regent Theatre and Armouries respectively. n Wellington’s Bob Greer drew praise in the Toronto Star, compared to future Baseball Hall of Fame member Mickey Cochrane in looks and catching ability. Unbiased observers suggested he had potential to play as a professional. n In a record year, E.E. Bonter & Sons of Albury harvested more than 5,000 bushels of tomatoes on their farm for local canners. Ideal weather conditions were a factor.
1957
n A public drive for the last $8,000 needed to install artificial ice-making equipment at the Prince Edward County Recreation and Agricultural Centre was started. Officials also opened the tender process for the equipment in hopes of having an ice surface in place by the beginning of December. n The Picton Imps junior baseball team dropped the Ontario final in three games to Stoney Creek, which won the deciding game 6-1.

Friends help raise funds for Picton branch ALL ABOARD FOR THE AUXILIARY
SEPTEMBER 28, 2017 9
The Picton Gazette
With a Picton library branch expansion on the horizon the Library continues to seek all avenues for fundraising to support the project. The Friends of the Picton Branch Library are committed to raising funds for the library. Their recent quality book sale held outside the library raised over $1,000. The group is welcoming new members – to join pick up an application form are available at the branch. If you are interested in getting involved in the fundraising for the addition please contact chief executive officer Barbara Sweet at (613) 476-5962 or by e-mail bsweet@peclibrary.org. All ideas are welcome. The fundraising campaign will launch during Ontario Public Library Week, on Friday, Oct. 20 at 2 p.m. A recent successful fundraising project was organized by Janet Kellough and Vicki Delany. Last week they stopped by the Picton branch of the Library to present a cheque – proceeds from the Body in the Library writer’s workshop led by mystery writer Mary Jane Maffini as part of the Women Killing It Crime Writer’s Festival. The many attendees raved about the sold-out workshop and we expect that many left the discussion ready to work on crafting their own crime and mystery novels.
INSIDE THE LIBRARY Liz Zylstra
This is not the first time that Kellough and Delany have supported the library. Both have given countless readings and talks at various library events across Prince Edward County, and have always said “yes” whenever we have asked them to participate or share their time. The library really benefits from their support. As an example of their assistance, twenty years ago, in 1997, Kellough wrote Murder in the Stacks a murder mystery evening which was presented at The Waring House Restaurant and Inn with all proceeds supporting the library. This event was so popular it was repeated with a new mystery. More recently Kellough par-
ticipated in the 2016 Consecon Haunting in the Hamlet event with a spooky storytelling event that was well received. Delaney along with her alter ego, Eva Gates, has visited the library many times to read and launch her newly released titles. In 2015, Vicki arranged “speed dating with an author” held at Books & Company with ticket fees supporting the library. This event featured Crime Writers of Canada novelists Steve Burrows, J.D. Carpenter, Barbara Fradkin, Janet Kellough, Hilary MacLeod, D.J. McIntosh, Mary Jane Maffini and Andrew Pyper. Through her connections and involvement in the literary world she was able to bring this exceptional group of authors to Prince Edward County and support the library in doing so. These are just a few highlights of the inventive and meaningful projects these two stalwart library supporters have spearheaded and we thank them for their dedication and sharing their creative vision with us. At the library we are often calling on local talent both for our, regular programs and for fundraising and we appreciate the tremendous support we receive – to all that help in myriad ways, thank you. Thank you to the dedicated Friends of the Picton library branch.

He’s also due in court Oct. 11. -Staff
Life is full of possibilities as is the article “Live butterfly release trend worrying” from The County Weekly News of Sept 21. Mr. Glassberg is quoted as writing “it is possible that (commercially raised monarchs’) delicate migratory physiology may not have been turned on” and that “Butterflies raised by unregulated commercial interests may spread diseases and parasites to wild populations” If you read the North American Butterfly Association (NABA) article, it becomes clear that the authors have strong opinions, but little is offered in the way of scientific support. Sheri Moreau, a director of the Monarch Program, the International Butterfly Breeders Association (IBBA) and The Butterfly Conservancy responds in her post Butterfly Releases Unjustly Maligned. Mr Glassberg invites you to “imagine tens of thousands of mixed-up monarchs unable to find the way to their overwintering grounds.” Moreau quotes Robert Gendron, a Cal-Poly student with over five years of experience in monarch tagging research. “ . . fifth generation captivebred monarchs released in the San Francisco Bay Area were subsequently spotted in four overwintering sites from Santa Cruz to Pacific Grove. . . . While some were raised from wild-caught larvae, several thousand were from larvae sold in educational kits. Certainly the migratory mechanism was
fully functional in these butterflies, reared hundreds, even thousands of miles from their natal origin.” Moreau addresses the issue of commercially raised monarchs spreading disease. “Commercial breeders who do not maintain pathogen-free breeding conditions are out of business in a season or less. Predators, parasites and pathogens have far more impact on wild butterfly populations, where there less than two per cent of all eggs laid mature into adult butterflies. . . wild butterfly are often (20 per cent-85 per cent) infested . . . problems which rarely, if ever occur in captive-reared populations.” The column also contends that the butterflies could be harmed by “releasing numbers of them, already stressed by confinement, into a strange environment in less than perfect weather.” Monarchs survive cold fall evenings and over winter by hibernating. Like other cold-blooded creatures, when their environment warms they become active. Commercially raised monarchs are kept cool until they are ready for release. The hospital foundation purchased the butterflies from an IBBA member whose code of ethics includes: n When shipping for environmental release, ship only when weather conditions allow for but n Ship only healthy, vigorous butterflies. n Ship in containers with packing that best protects the butterflies. n Supply pertinent instructions
as appropriate to insure the wellbeing and safety of the livestock. I personally cared for the monarchs, checking them every few hours. Of the 200 that we received, five did not survive or showed signs of stress. The conditions for their release couldn’t have been much better than they were. It was a beautifully warm and sunny day and a time of year when monarchs are active in the county. Those who came to release a butterfly will attest to how quickly they took flight. Possibly there is a risk in releasing commercially raised butterflies, but I have found no studies to support this. And sometimes releasing captive-bred animals outweighs the possible risks.. The Hospital Foundation and its community partners, Ainsworth Funeral Home and Whattam and Hicks Funeral Homes, undertook this event to "remember. It was not to fundraise, not to entertain, but with great respect for families sharing a loss and nature's capacity for regeneration of the most fragile creatures. The butterfly release means that nearly 200 healthy, endangered butterflies can now join the thousands gathering on the south shores of Prince Edward County that are preparing for their epic migration southwards.

Picton Rotarians learn about book detailing activities of Canadian, Soviet double agents ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER
Donald G. Mahar says he knew the story of Russian spy Yevgeniy Brik “inside out and backwards.” That’s how the retired Canadian Security Intelligence Service senior officer came to meet the man he said was one the “most important Soviet double agent working in the west,” and the reason he was able to deliver a new book Shattered Illusions: KGB Cold War Espionage in Canada that gives a rare inside glimpse into the international intelligence game. On Tuesday, Mahar told Picton Rotarians how as a young RCMP officer he had asked to be transferred to Ottawa to take part in counter-intelligence operations. He’d been studying Russian and eastern European affairs on his own time and he had a keen interest in the business. Posted in a new city with his wife and son still in Saskatchewan, he spent time in the office reading old case files at night. One that stuck with him was that of Operation Keystone, an unlikely tale of two duplicitous officers who had betrayed their countries during the Cold War. The story — which contains no information that is currently classified — started in 1951 with Brik, a Brooklyn, N.Y.-raised Russian agent under deep cover being sent to the Montreal area under a false name to spy on Canada and, eventually, the United States. “He had as many identities as there are people in this room. I’ve documented every one of them in my life,” Mahar said of Brik, who spoke English with a Brooklyn accent and who had become fluent in Morris code during his time in the Soviet Union. He worked in Canada from 1951 to 1953 relaying messages back to the Soviets. Around that time, however, Mahar explained he fell in love with a married woman from Kingston. He ultimately didn’t convince her to leave her family, but was influenced by her to turn himself in to the RCMP. Brik became a double agent, feeding his assignments to Canadian intelligence officials. Such an agent was unheard of then. “The U.S. CIA and the British Secret Intelligence service, neither organization haas an agent at that point in time,” Mahar said. “Canada did.” In 1955, there was a twist in the story. A young RCMP officer named James Morrison — a man who received much acclaim for rounding up Nazis and Nazi sympathizers in Poland in the Second World War — would give Brik a ride and double-cross him and his country. Morrison began feeding the Soviet spy agency, the KGB news that their agent had betrayed them. “If that story interests you, let
INTERNATIONAL INTRIGUE Retired CSIS agent-turned-author Donald G. Mahar shares the details behind his new book Shattered Illusions, which tells the story of two double agents: one from the Soviet Union who was working for Canada and the RCMP agent who betrayed his confidence and reported him to the communist nation. (Adam BramburgerGazette staff)
me tell you this: That is only the beginning of the story,” Mahar teased his audience. Brik was to head to the Soviet Union anyway for what was expected to be some retraining and family time. Mahar said some might expect that Brik would have received a bullet in the back of the head, which was standard practice for anyone believed to be committing treason against the communist country at the time, but instead he managed to escape. Mahar suggested he had help from others in the KGB concerned with self preservation if they had to admit to the mistake of sharing information with a double agent working for another country. No one in Canada heard of Brik again for nearly 40 years. In 1992, Mahar was working for CSIS overseas. He got a call from his boss about a cable from the British noting that an elderly man walked into one of their embassies to tell a story about how Canada promised they’d bring him back if they ever found him. “When I read it, I was dumbfounded and I’m not easily shocked,” he recalled. Sure enough, Mahar did his homework and discovered Brik was who he said he was. He was assigned to create an operational plan to bring the man out of Russia. After three trips back-and-forth to England, Mahar said he was tasked to run the operation. Despite pleas that he couldn’t even smuggle a bottle of booze from the United States, he went behind the Iron Curtain and completed his mission with two CSIS officers and two British intelligence officers involved. “I’m not going to tell you how we did it,” he said, noting some of the techniques are still in use today. He managed to take Brik from an area 120 miles out of Moscow, through the Russian capital and across eastern Europe to Lithuania. They crossed into Copenhagen, Denmark and it was only by the time they reached
Stockholm, Sweden that they rested easily. Getting him onto a flight to Canada was another tall task. “Immigration had been fully briefed. I was protected by a diplomatic passport. He was not. If we had gotten caught, I would have been taken by the scruff of the neck and thrown out of the country. He would have been arrested again.” Though he spent most of his life not talking about his work, Mahar said he felt compelled to write his book. “Canada made a promise to a man in 1953 when he changed sides… first, it was about that promise that we would help him,” he said. Second, Mahar said previous books on the subject butchered the true story and offered very little resemblance to reality. He said though he holds little malice to the writers of those stories who didn’t have access to information, he wanted to set the record straight. “I knew the real story and I wanted to correct these errors,” he said. “I went to the service and said ‘This is what I want to do.’ As an organization, they not sanction or publicize the book, but they said they would not disagree with anything.” It took four years for the story to be completed, two of which were spent waiting for access to information requests to declassify information. The story itself, Mahar said, he could write in his sleep. While Mahar said working for the RCMP’s security service and later CSIS, which was founded in 1984, was a “fabulous career,” he cautioned against giving people the idea that all agents are James Bonds or that it’s a sensational career. He said some people do get exciting jobs, but a lot of work is done simply through the analysis of information. Canada, as it turns out, is a country that has lots of pertinent information other nations want even today.

Festival of Trees funds to benefit endoscopy unit PRESERVES, from page 6
Greenridge Farms gave asparagus. Some of the participants in the canning group have brought herbs or tomatoes they’ve grown themselves. “People have been very generous with their excess garden stuff,” Thompson said. Donations of jars are also welcomed. Picton Home Hardware has been a generous supporter in that regard and the Second Time Around Shop also delivers donations for the effort. Individual donors have given lids. Each jar is sterilized in South Bay United’s commercial dishwasher and the ladies also use a special technique called boiled water canning, which ensures there’s no risk of products being contaminated. Thompson said the canners are especially grateful the church is so accommodating with its kitchen facilities. While it’s clear their efforts make a difference — this year’s festival proceeds are being earmarked to start a photo archive system in the endoscopy suite required by Cancer Care Ontario with a price tag of $100,000 — some of the volunteers indicated they’re not only interested in canning to help, they’re also involved for a good time. Each time they can, there’s a camaraderie developed from working together. There’s also time for tea and sampling when the work is done. Denise Linnette, who also does some of the organizing said a lot of the ladies might not do canning at home because of the work involved, but the spirit of togetherness makes it worthwhile. “Most of us are seniors and you’ve usually got just two of you at home and there’s so much to do,” she said. “If you enjoy doing this stuff, it’s a great outlet. We have fun and we do some good.” Thompson said the group would welcome donations of all forms. She said there’s already a strong core group of people to help, but encouraged willing volunteers to look into joining the Auxiliary themselves. The Festival of Trees is Nov. 24-25 at Isaiah Tubbs Resort.

gence officers,” he said. “I’m here to tell you the Cold War has been over for a number of years, but the number of Russian intelligence officers in Canada today is far higher than at the peak of the Cold War.” Mahar, who still consults with CSIS due to the high rank
he once held, said many other countries are also actively spying here. With the intrigue over espionage and foreign influence, especially south of the border with suspected Russian influence in the last election, Mahar said he believes there’s a good
market at this time for Shattered Illusions. “The book tells this story (of Brik and Morrison), but in telling this story, I try to bring some understanding to this whole issue of what happened during the Cold War and what is happening today,” he said.

Picton Terminals offers visitors a glimpse of facility in operation More than 50 people attend open house at Hallowell port facility to learn more about day-to-day activities JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER
HAVING A LOOK Ben Doornekamp, left, the owner of Picton Terminals speaks with an interested onlooker at the port operation’s open house on Thursday night. (Jason Parks/Gazette staff)
More than 50 people attended the latest open house offered by Picton Terminals on Thursday evening, the highest attended event since the Picton-area port operations started hosting these informal tours a couple of years ago. A first hand look at the historic ship loader that at one time loaded iron ore mined in Marmora and transported via rail link to ships in Picton Bay
were offered as well as tours of control room, dock and Mckeil Marine barge Newfoundland. Thursday's event was actually the sixth such open house and tour and Picton Terminals operator Ben Doornekamp said tours will continue. Doornekamp said the primary purpose of the sessions is to inform the public of the dayto-day activities that take place at Picton Terminals. “A lot of people have seen that ship loader there since 1955
and wonder 'What does that thing do and how does it do it?'” Doornekamp said. Installed by Bethlehem Steel in the 1950s, the ship loader had been dormant for many decades before the new port operator rejuvenated and rehabilitated the previously abandoned infrastructure On Thursday night, the equipment was being used to load the Newfoundland with aggregate destined for Amherst Island and use in an industrial
wind turbine project. Doornekamp said about 80 per cent of the material being loaded and floated to Amherst Island is repurposed rock from when Picton Terminals made a ramp in the face of the cliff that leads from the facility down to the dock area. In total, there are still about 60 loads of material due to be transferred over the water to Amherst Island.

Carbone says RFP documents could take between two-to-three months to draft before they’re issued HALL, from page 1
“To me, it's the heart of the community,â€? she said. She said while financial sustainability may be a top council priority, it has to be tempered by other important priorities. Campbell said the town hall is the only place that meets most of the needs of Picton residents and many of the reasons the building has significant market value are the same reasons it has significant community value. She too asked for more time, saying the reason residents were suggesting the 18-24 month time frame was to allow for a rethinking of the process. “Let's not rush,â€? she said. â€œâ€Ś It's not possible for us to say how much time we need without having any idea of what is going to be required, so time is needed for everybody in that respect.â€?
Former councillor Alec Lunn also spoke to the issue, intimating that selling off community assets is not the way to sustainability. “It's kind of like selling the family silver or burning the furniture because you're cold and you don't have any other move,� he said. “We have things we can do before that — we shouldn't be asking you for time to decide this, you should be asking us what we can do with this heritage building.� Community development director Neil Carbone suggested that's exactly the intention behind the motion. “The intention of the recommendation was to solicit a lot of different options and to gauge all of the opportunities that were out there, ultimately to try to find the best possible use for the town hall,� he said. He said a longer time frame is
a good thing if it results in more proposals and ultimately a greater chance of receiving better ideas. The staff report presented to council specifically says the building is not being declared surplus — a step that must be taken before a municipal property is sold. While many members of the public pointed out that most of the alternative hall options listed within the staff report were either no longer available, at capacity, or nearing capacity, Carbone said the point of including them in the report was in fact to communicate that issue to council. “The purpose of listing them was to show a lot of them were already fully utilized,� he said. “We were just stating that if council chose to go the sale route, as had been discussed way back with the fire halls,
then some of the alternatives ‌ may not be alternatives because they were full.â€? Carbone said even though the RFP will have a six-month deadline, members of the public will have an opportunity to get an early start. He said the RFP could take two to three months to prepare before it is issued. Once the proposals come back, Carbone said, there would be a public process to review them. Chief administrative officer James Hepburn said members of the public seemed to be anticipating they would need comprehensive business plans and be ready to execute those plans. He said that's not the case. “We're still at the idea stage and the proposal doesn't necessarily have to be fully completed,â€? he said. “We want to move this process forward and maybe
not wait 18–24 months to get an idea of what this building can be used for long term.� Mayor Robert Quaiff supported the motion. “I think the six months is prudent,� he said. “That gives everybody enough time to take a look.� He said the process will establish some options and reiterated that it doesn't bind council to any particular action. While residents had asked
for a more lengthy period of time than the approved six months, councillor Kevin Gale felt the shorter period could be a benefit to those groups. He said a longer period of time could lead some to shift the issue to the back-burner, while a shorter time frame could always be extended if warranted. “I would rather see a lot of action in the next six months,� he said.

Loch-Sloy Business Park added to inventory of non-designated heritage properties Property manager supports designation giving municipality 60-days notice of potential demolition for most buildings, asks for some to be excluded CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER
Council voted on Tuesday to include portions of Loch-Sloy Business Park, formerly Camp Picton, on a heritage inventory of non-designated properties of cultural heritage value in the county. The move was initiated by
the Prince Edward Heritage Advisory Committee (PEHAC) which made a motion recommending council list the property at their July 20 meeting. The measure means any plans for demolition or removal of any listed building will require notification to the municipality at least 60 days
prior to work commencing. Owners of listed properties are not required to obtain any special heritage permissions for renovations, additions, or alterations of buildings aside from a regular building permit. Properties on the list are not required to be designated under the Ontario Heritage Act.

The listing was originally to be discussed at a Sept. 14 committee-of-the-whole meeting, however, that meeting was cancelled before it could be completed due to a lack of quorum. At the meeting, Loch-Sloy property manager Jacqui Burley discussed some concerns with listing the property in its entirety. The site is currently home to 57 businesses employing about 170 people. Burley said the owners have been vigilant in respecting and salvaging the historic buildings. She cautioned councillors that the property is unique, covering 688 acres with 43 buildings. “Currently six, and potentially eight to 10 buildings in total after another hard winter, will be beyond repair and there are three buildings that are piles of fallen timber,” she told the committee. She requested the buildings in the worst shape not be included on the listing. Without them, Burley said, it would still leave about 475,000 square feet of historically-significant buildings. “We do support the County in deeming the majority of the buildings as historically significant,” she said. The property is currently up for sale. Burley said while the owners appreciate efforts ensure their work to preserve
JACQUI BURLEY
the original buildings is recognized and protected, it's also important to note there will likely be changes coming to the property in the near future. She said she didn't believe it was necessary to list the entire property and there is great potential for the majority of the undeveloped acreage. Councillors seemed receptive to burley's comments at the committee meeting and reaffirmed that stance on Tuesday. Councillor Steve Ferguson, who sits as a council representative on PEHAC, said there's no need to list the entire property. “The buildings that are excluded are the ones that have
effectively collapsed and those buildings are used — for lack of a better term — as spare parts,” he said. Engineering, development, and works commissioner Robert McAuley said representatives from Loch-Sloy appeared before the heritage committee and reached an agreement to exclude some of the buildings that are in the worst shape. “The actual listing as proposed is a map combined with those buildings that are of interest with a small indication of what the interest is,” McAuley said Tuesday. “The actual listing won't be the entirety of the property, just certain elements.” A part of Britain's response to the German military's advances in fighter planes and bombers, Commonwealth Air Training facility Camp Picton was completed in April 1941 at a cost of $1,161,000. One of more than 100 Royal Air Force bases constructed across the country, the site featured six hangars, 43 smaller buildings, and housed 550 airmen when it became operational. The site served various military purposes for decades until its closure in 1969. The site was sold to serve as a private facility in 1999.

Business owner still at loggerheads with municipality over proposed sign changes CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER
A protracted disagreement between the municipality and the owner of a downtown Picton business regarding signage at the Main Street location saw another chapter unfold on Tuesday.
Council voted to approve a minor heritage permit for the Beach Bum sign with the caveat that a border be included to reduce its massing. Beach Bum owner Cynthia Nichols had already rejected the recommended modification. The issue first cropped up in

April 2016. Following a move to a new Picton Main Street location, Nichols had a new sign installed featuring bright blue and yellow colouring. However, the sign was installed without first securing a permit from the municipality and Nichols was told the new sign conformed with neither the municipal sign bylaw nor the guidelines of the Picton Heritage Conservation District (HCD). Council voted to give the store time to consult with the Prince Edward Heritage Advisory Committee (PEHAC) to reach a workable solution, but the problem remained unresolved. The issue appeared before committee of the whole on Sept. 14, but that meeting was ultimately cancelled before the item could be addressed due to a lack of quorum. Beach Bum owner Cynthia Nichols told committee at that time she had submitted an application for a new heritage permit with the only change being a reduction in the size of the sign. “The sign was originally stated as being over its allotted size allowance by 2.4 per cent,” she said. The sign was subsequently taken down and two panels were removed from either end to bring the sign in line with the County's sign bylaw. Nichols said the reductions amounted to 5.5 per cent of the sign. “That now makes the Beach Bum sign well within the limits of the County sign bylaw,” she said. PEHAC, Nichols said, contin-

to the (sign bylaw) requirements.” Councillor Treat Hull, who also sits as a council representative on PEHAC, also made his feelings on the subject known during the Sept. 14 committee meeting. He said it's vital to ensure irreplaceable assets, like buildings, are protected. However, he said he didn't believe aesthetics were as integral. “On other matters like paint colour, signage — ephemeral things which can be changed in an afternoon — I believe there is little or no value to the community in attempting to regulate that and there are much more pressing things to be done,” he said. He said the Picton HCD plan covers an area with influences from the 100-year span from around 1820 to the automobile age — a span in which there was no consistent appearance. “If you look at the pictures within the Heritage Conservation District plan itself, Main Street was a fascinating, vibrant, higgledy-piggledy reflection of all of those different eras all at the same time,” he told the committee. “I believe we have no business regulating the aesthetics of signs, that the bylaw is sufficient to control the community interest, and so I will be voting against this resolution.” However, there wasn't much discussion amongst council this week as the majority supported the PEHAC recommendation to include a raised border at Tuesday's meeting.
BORDER? Council supported a motion Tuesday requesting a border be installed around the Beach Bum sign,a change that is opposed by the owners of the Picton Main Street business. (Chad Ibbotson/Gazette staff)
ued to ask that a raised border be added to the sign, but she said she wouldn't accept the modification. “If I had wanted a raised border, wanted raised letters, wanted a matte film, and everything else that they had originally requested, I would have had it produced that way from the get-go,” she said. “I would have reworked the original sign and just brought it over to our new location — clearly that's not what I wanted to do.” A walk down Main Street presents plenty of examples of signs without the requested border, Nichols said. “Any attack on the nature of my signage, or attempt to dictate changes to it, I feel is a direct infringement on my freedom of commercial expression under our Canadian charter of rights,” she
said. “The HCD bylaw, as I've stated many times in the past — as well intentioned as it is — is arbitrary and subjective at best.” A staff report presented to council Tuesday evening says Nichols' proposed modifications wouldn't bring the sign in line with HCD guidelines as it wouldn't complement the proportions of the building. The report says simply adding the border would correct the issue. Nichols' words found some friendly ears at the committee meeting. Councillor Dianne O'Brien said she wouldn't support the requested addition of a raised border. “I'm going to supporting the owners' wishes,” she said. “They have reduced the sign according

PECI Venture students learn about artists’ entrepreneurship TOUR, from page 3
The students who are in Grades 9 and 10 spent a full day visiting studios both on the tour and independent from the circuit. “We hope they get a chance to see what kind of the talent is in the county and all the different forms of art and also that they see an art that catches their interest and maybe they can try something new,” Venture teacher Heather Munroe said. The PECI education program offers combines global
and authentic learning experiences and Munroe confirmed there were many aspects in addition to the creative process that students could pick up at their various studios on Friday. “These are all small entrepreneurial businesses. At one of the stops, we learned how the artist provides for his family and they are seeing that you can make a living with your passion. Globally, this helps them connect with the community and see that there's so much talent in Prince Edward County,” Munroe added.

SIMPLY THE BEST (From Left) Jim Hughes, Marilyn Minaker-Roffey representing her late husband Paul Minaker Bryan Helmer and Roger Dainard were all honoured at the Highline Hall in Wellington Sunday as the 2017 class of the Prince Edward County Sports Hall of Fame. (Jason Parks/Gazette staff)
Four new inductees enshrined in hall Dainard, Helmer, Hughes, and Minaker recognized in ceremony Sunday for their athletic accomplishment JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER
Another prestigious class has joined the Prince Edward County Sports Hall of Fame. Over 50 onlookers were in attendance at the Highline Hall in Wellington on a sun-soaked Sunday afternoon as Bryan Helmer, Paul Minaker, Roger Dainard and Jim Hughes were enshrined in a well-attended ceremony. Along with the inductees, Nine 2016-2017 athletes of the year from both PECI and Centennial Secondary School were honoured for their efforts on the field last season. In his opening remarks, the hall’s president Hugh Parliament said Sunday's induction ceremonies were special because they record the sporting exploits of people from or undeniably connected to Prince Edward County “for all time” at the hallway atop Essroc Arena. Parliament had some happy news to report prior to the start of the ceremony as former inductee Paul Rosebush has been given notice that he will be honoured with admittance to the
International Softball Congress Hall of Fame in Kitchener next summer. “What an honour for one of our own inductees,” Parliament said. Undoubtedly the best trapshooter/farmer (and not always in that order) ever to come out of Prince Edward County is and will be Jim Hughes. Hughes was introduced by a reluctant Lynn Cole, who recalled how Hughes would beat his own score every time he stood up to shoot against him. However, looking around that the former members of the Prince Edward County Rod & Gun Club that were left from the days when Hughes was among (or was) the best in Canada, Cole felt a duty. “Some of them have moved away but a lot of them are just plain dead,” Cole said with a laugh. Hughes got his start with a shotgun shooting ducks in and around the shores of Waupoos. Soon he was on to shooting clay pigeons and served the Rod and Gun Club for several decades from every station
from trap boy to president. A lifetime member in both the Canadian and U.S. trap shooting associations, Hughes was the only certified AA shooter in the Quinte area at the height of his career. Cole recalled a competitive shoot where a competitor greeted Hughes and provided his trap shoot association card that validated a 95 per cent rating. Unflustered, Hughes was able to reach in his pocket and produce a similar card that showed a 97.5 per cent rating. “The guy just dropped his head and walked away,” Cole said “He was beat and he knew it. If you are going to try and psyche somebody out, it’s best not to poke the bear.” In his acceptance remarks, Hughes recalled winning the 1970 Canadian Singles Championship in Hamilton and meeting fellow Rod and Gun Club member and hall inductee Earl Marvin on the way back from his first round. Marvin asked how Hughes had faired and Hughes replied “I got them all Earl.” “That a boy, Jimmy!” “He was truly excited for
me and proud one of the other club members had done so well,” Hughes recalled. “We are very competitive, but I remember him being so happy that a fellow member had done so well.” Hughes would go on to score another 99 points to take the national title with a score of 199. “It’s quite an experience to win a national title,”Hughes said “It’s a thrilling, exhilarating feeling that’s hard to explain but it’s also a humbling experience.” Hughes thanked members of the Club for his nomination and his family for their support in his sporting endeavours. “It is indeed an honour to join this group of distinguished athletes,” Hughes added. In her introduction of Dainard, family friend Tina Hlywka mentioned the late Floyd Armstrong who was a friend to anyone that ever drew back a bow and a huge supporter of Dainard’s as the Milford resident made a rise in competitive archery at age 50.

While there still needs to be some fine tuning and growth in certain roles, it's hard to argue with the Wellington Dukes' results through the first month of the 2017-2018 OJHL season. With just two games left before the calendar flips to October, the Dukes (4-1-3, 11 points) find themselves sitting on top of the East Division, four points clear of Trenton and five points ahead of Kingston. Wellington managed a sweep of their weekend road swing, topping the Panthers in Pickering 3-2 on Friday night and doubling up on the host Whitby Fury 4-2 Sunday. Yes, it was a rare regulation romp for the Dukes this weekend. After playing four of their first five games to double overtime and playing eight straight one-goal games, Wellington was finally able to cruise to a victory without white knuckling the final moments of a third period on Sunday. Well, kind of. Tied 1-1 after two periods and 2-2 after 50 minutes, Wellington's Teddy McGeen bagged his second of the contest on the power play at with 5:20 left in regulation. With Whitby's netminder
pulled in favour of an extra attacker, Wellington was able to coral a loose puck and Jackson Arcan sent the biscuit into a yawning cage with just over a minute left to give the Dukes a rare two- goal spread. How rare? Through eight games, Wellington has had a two-goal margin in the final stanza just twice-against Pickering on Friday night and Milton on Sept. 10. Essentially, Wellington games have been tighter than Dick's hat band — everyone of them. Wellington Dukes General Manager and Associate Coach Ryan Woodward agreed that it's a difficult process to critique and break down victories however the team hasn't reached its pinnacle in terms of structure and flow. “The results are promising but this is a young team working through and learning the process of how to play,” Woodward told the Gazette Tuesday. “Some of these players are only eight games into their Junior career so we have to remember that but there's still more to come in terms of developing that style and identity that's going to set us apart.”

Pirates look to rebound from 10-2 loss with three games this week CHAD IBBOTSON STAFF WRITER
The Picton Pirates had a tough start to the season in their home opener on Thursday night, falling 10–2 to the Port Hope Panthers. It's a game Pirates general manager Chris Masterson said the team will look to move past quickly. “It was a bit of a comedy of errors on our part so we said to the guys, 'okay, that's done and out of the way and moving on,'” he said. “We're not going to dwell on it.” There were moments where the team played well, Masterson said, but those were overshadowed by some poor play and bad luck. “We scored two or three goals into our own net — off skates et cetera, a couple of bad goals,” he said. He said he didn't feel the score was entirely indicative of the team's play. Masterson anticipated the team would face a difficult task in topping the Panthers — the Tod Division's top team last season — saying last week Picton had to make sure their opponents didn't pick up early momentum. However, that's just what

happened. Midway through the first period Picton goaltender Aaron Young made a save, directing the rebound into the corner. Panther Brad Bollert collected the puck quickly, firing a shot that seemed to bank off of Young into the Pirates' net. The Panthers extended their lead to two with just over a minute left in the opening frame
with Kallen McFarland scoring on a quick-developing rush chance. The Pirates opened the second period down by two and down by a man with Nick Kyte being assessed a pair of minor penalties for cross checking and unsportsmanlike conduct in the final minute of the first.

Armstrong’s mentorship and supportive, kind and knowledgeable nature fostered a love of archery in Dainard and allowed him to compete on the national and international stage in the masters division. Just two years into his career, Dainard was Ontario grand champion, a title he would hold for five seasons. In 2007, the Milford resident won gold in both the field and target events at the Canadian championships. Dainard would go on to represent Canada at the 2007 and 2008 World Championships and place fourth on both occasions, just missing out on a bronze medal by a single point in 2008. His love for the sport is self evident and he takes joy in sharing archery with everyone,” said Hlywka. “Roger is proud to call Prince Edward County home and represent it.” In a short acceptance address, Dainard thanked his wife Pat for her support and his fellow archers for their encouragement. He called Armstrong a great teacher, mentor and friend. It was Mark Campbell’s task of introducing his late friend Paul Minaker. The west-end Picton native was drafted by the Ottawa 67’s out of the old Picton Minor Hockey Association in the late 1970s and was one of the top major junior netminders in the province during his late teens. Campbell recalled playing hockey in front of Minaker and remembered that the goalie was audible, always barking encouragement or instructions to his teammates no matter where they might be on the ice. “He was really a big-picture thinker and he could see the game happening,” Campbell remembered. Not just a standout in hockey, Campbell said Minaker could master any sport-even on the fly. “I remember he signed up for a tennis tournament and we all knew that Herbie (Pliwischkies) was going to win but there Paul was in the finals, challenging Herb to the end. He had a professional mindset in anything he set his mind to,” Campbell added. Campbell recalled a time when Minaker and the Picton squad were in Campbellford and had drawn the ire of the hometown fans for both on and off the ice activities and an angry mob formed outside the dressing room, demanding a Picton player be produced. “Paul convinced us to put pieces of his goalie equipment in our bags and he put the player in
his equipment bag,” Campbell said to a laugh. “He just walked out of the dressing room real casual like nothing was wrong and we made our getaway.” Going to see Minaker in Kingston when his 67’s and, later, London Knights would play the Canadiens was a regular activity for local hockey fans and Campbell said Minaker was always delighted to see familiar county faces after the game even if it was just a quick hello and a hug or warm hand shake. Minaker would attend the Hartford Whalers training camp in 1979 and he told Campbell it was a thrill to be able to say he stopped Gordie Howe in practice. “Gordie must have known he was at the end because he retired at the end of that season,” Campbell cracked Minaker lost his battle with cancer in the fall of 2014 and accepting on his behalf was his former wife, Marilyn Minaker-Roffey. Minaker-Roffey said her late husband would have considered it an honour and a privilege to have be amongst the inductees Sunday afternoon. She remembers being a Queen’s student and going to see Paul play for the Knights in Kingston where he was the game’s first star. It wasn’t long after that contest in the 1979-1980 season when the two connected and they were soon roommates attending Queen’s where Paul was a standout for the Golden Gaels hockey team, rising to the level of Ontario university all-star in the early 1980s. Minaker was a runner his entire life and competed in a winter triathlon in Ottawa which involved a run, a cross country ski and a skate on the Rideau Canal. “The first year he did this, he skated in his old goalie skates but true to his competitive spirit, he had all the right equipment the next year,” Minaker-Roffey said. Among the tales Tod Lavender delivered while introducing Helmer was one thread where the eldest of the Lavender children accompanied the patriarch of the Wellington Dukes hockey club Garry Lavender to Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital where Helmer was being attended to after colliding the family’s conveyance with a utility pole. After a silent, late-night car ride where Tod imagined in his mind all the things his father was about to say to Bryan “Do-no-wrong” Helmer in light of writing off the Lavender car, Garry burst through the emergency room, peeled back the curtain and advanced on the prized defenceman.
“To my dismay, he hugged him and said ‘Are you OK?’,” Lavender said with his trademark dry humour. Lavender made sure to mention that Helmer, One of the greatest Dukes blueliners of all time, had as many friends outside of the team while attending PECI as he did on the local squad. Lavender said the face of the Wellington franchise was engrained in the community and served as an example of an out-oftown player embracing the community he represented on the ice. Helmer called the induction into the Hall an immense honour. Despite having grown up in Winchester, Ont., the American Hockey League hall of famer has always considered Prince Edward County his second home and the friendships he made here as some of the most important in his life. Helmer recalled last spring after his Hershey Bears club had been ousted from the Calder Cup playoffs and getting a call on his cell phone from an unknown 399 telephone number. After a couple of missed calls, the assistant coach finally picked up. It was Parliament with news that the former defenceman had been selected for the 2017 county hall’s class. “After being in a bad mood about the Bears getting eliminated, it put a big smile on my face,” Helmer said. “It really made my day and made me very humble. To go up on that wall and be there with Garry Lavender who I think of as a second father means so much.” As Wellington’s first billeted player, Helmer was expected to help out with chores around the Lavender and lend a hand when needed. “I remember Garry telling me that Tod and I needed to come over to the (Ainsworth) Funeral Home and help out with something,” Helmer said. ‘I admit I was really creeped out when they had me place a deceased lady into a casket but it helped me understand the business and what they did.” Helmer added he could never thank Dianne Lavender enough for her help with his studies and making it possible for the former Duke to attend Loyalist College and graduate from the post-secondary institution. “It was tough to leave home at 17 but I was proud to be part of the Lavender family,” he added. The professional hockey veteran who holds several AHL records and is a three time AHL champion congratulated his fellow inductees and thanked them for their dedication to their sport.
Wellington garage fire damages pegged at $60,000 FIRES, from page 1
On Sunday evening, Station 2 crews arrived at Koopman's Auction Centre just outside of West Lake. “There was a report of a small fire but by the time the crew arrived on scene, the fire had been extinguished,” Manlow reported. The building needed to be ventilated and cleared of any
potential heat sources. Manlow said there was some minor damage to some materials inside however there wasn't much if any structural damage. The same could not be said about a garage that caught fire on Main Street Wellington just over 12 hours earlier. Station 6 (Consecon) and 7 (Wellington) responded to multiple 911 calls just after 6 a.m. To
reports of flames coming through the roof of a detached building in the village's east end. “It was a former garage that had been turned into a workshop and studio,” Prince Edward County Deputy Fire Chief Robert Rutter told the Gazette Tuesday. The cause of the fire is undetermined however it is not suspicious in nature. Losses were pegged at $60,000.

Senior Panthers break open game at Bayside with barrage of three-pointers PECI handily wins first two games of regular season, but Garden is concerned team’s shooting percentage from the floor isn’t yet where it needs to be ADAM BRAMBURGER STAFF WRITER
FORCED TURNOVER PECI’s Chloe Marshall, left, breaks up a Bayside passing play and battles Red Devil Emily Hardacre for a loose ball. Marshall would go up court for a scoring chance. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)
It wasn’t their prettiest effort Monday, but the PECI Senior Basketball Panthers found the range from beyond the threepoint arc when it counted to beat Bayside and improve to 2-0 in league play. After struggling to score just two baskets from the field in the first quarter, the Panther held on to a tentative five-point lead going into the second. They increased the margin to an insurmountable 15 by halftime on the strength of four three-pointers — two from Leah Matthews and one each from Vanessa Willis and Jessie Swackhammer. Coach Rob Garden was pleased to see the game swing on shooting after field goal percentage was a question mark at a Kingston tournament over the weekend. “We were really bad this weekend at Queen’s this weekend with our shooting, so that was nice to see us bounce back a little bit,” he said. “At this level,
if you’re going to compete against the good teams, you have to be shooting 6-10 threes a game and shooting at around 30 per cent overall. Anything less than that, it’s just tough to put points up. Even in this game — we want to be scoring 50-60 points every game — we missed too many easy ones. It’s something we have to work on.” Willis led all scorers in the game with 17 points. Abby Margetson matched Matthew’s six points with all her scoring from under the boards. Mikayla Leavitt and Swackhammer had five each. Garden said one positive the Panthers could take away was the way they started to run the ball. “We ran better than we’ve run in any game. We got out in transition better, particularly in the second half. We talked about getting out wider and getting some easy baskets as opposed to always having to fight so hard to get our points. If we can keep doing that and continue to be
more efficient from the field as the season goes on, we should be able to score more.” In their first regular season game at Trenton last Wednesday, the Panthers took a 57-14 victory. All 10 players scored points with Margetson leading the way with 12. After two league games and two tournaments, Garden said he’s been particularly happy with the way a pair of Grade 11 players have elevated their game to play at the senior level. Mikayla Leavitt has performed admirably with the tough job of replacing Hayley Van Rossum at point guard. Those are some huge shoes to fill and she’s got a long way to go to get to Hayley’s level, but so far there have been positive signs the way she’s really moving th ball and handling pressure well.” Garden said he’s also impressed with the way Chloe Marshall has unexpectedly earned starting minutes. “She’s been asserting herself
more and more every game..” In the Queen’s tournament on the weekend, the Panthers opened with a two-point win over Kingston’s Bayridge Blazers, reaching a goal of a win to be invited back to the tough tournament again. The second game, the Panthers faced a tough Glebe Gryphons team from Ottawa that Garden said was “in our face up and down the floor.” They hung in the game for a half, but Glebe pulled away. Sunday, the fatigued Panthers fell again to the Villanova Wildcats from the Windsor area. For the three games, coaches Curtis and Lyndsey Morrow. Looking ahead, the Panthers will face one of their toughest challenges of the season Monday as they face Centre Hastings.. “They’ll be one of the top three teams in the league,” Garden said. “We played them once in a tournament at Nicholson, but I expect we’ll se a different team. It’s kind of a must-win if we want to be in the top two.”

Hall of Fame recognizes last year’s top high school athletes Bright stars from PECI, Centennial feted in Essroc Arena display JASON PARKS STAFF WRITER
While the Prince Edward County Sports Hall of Fame grew by four members on Sunday afternoon, a contingent of nine local secondary school athletes were honoured for the 2016-2017 season. A total of six PECI Panthers and three Centennial Chargers were feted at Highline Hall as the hall’s organizing committee honoured the best and brightest from the Bay of Quinte ranks last year. The athletic standouts from Centennial Secondary School from north Prince Edward County were introduced by educator Debbie Clare and included Megan Paddison, Blake Douglas and Mickaula Douglas, the latter two being the first brother and sister duo to be honoured with an induction as athletes of the year at their respective school. A Grade 9 winner Blake Douglas starred on the Centennial Cross Country team, qualifying for the OFSSA meet was well as playing soccer, basketball, badminton and track and Field. He also assisted in the Chargers Hoops elementary basketball program. Mickaula Douglas was a rare Grade 11 senior winner and excelled for Chargers, suiting up for seven teams including volleyball, cross country, swimming, badminton and track and field while maintaining a high academic standing. Clare called Mickaula Douglas a “pleasure to coach.” Paddison was an OFSAA qualifier in two track and field events (100 m, 400m) and was exceptional for the junior basketball team so much so that she was tapped to suit up for the senior

squad during the Bay of Quinte playoffs. The Burr road resident was the most valuable player of the junior girls volleyball team and also played soccer. Clare mentioned Paddison was always willing to assist with any program in which she was involved. All PECI top athlete award winners were recognized and will be honoured for the next year at the hall as per usual. Sydney Davies, the female Grade 9 winner, was key in five sports this season including an appearance at the OFSAA Cross Country meet in Port Hope last November. In a written statement penned by PECI athletics director Laurie Spencer and read aloud by the hall’s president Hugh Parliament, Davies was called an extremely driven athlete that provided leadership roles despite being a firstyear Panther. Picton native Cooper Rogers was the Grade 9 male athlete of the year and was instrumental in PECI’s conquest of the Bay of Quinte junior boys soccer title in the fall of 2016.
In addition to starring on the soccer field, Rogers maintained a high academic standing while playing hockey for the Quinte Red Devils. Another standout for the PECI Junior Soccer club was forward Alex Arsenault. Despite little formal sporting experience, Arsenault was a strong performer for the soccer and rugby teams and a key cog in the Panthers run to the Central Ontario championships in

Mitch Martan also scored on Sunday and the win was the second in a row for newly acquired netminder Jonah Capriotti. The Mount Hope native made 28 stops in just his second stint of junior hockey action since he suited up for the Jr. C Hagersville Hawks in 2014-15. “He's a difference maker and someone who can be calming influence on the back end,”Woodward said of Capriotti. Capriotti made 38 saves on Friday night in Pickering as Wellington shaded the Cats 3-2. The locals got off to a hot start in the opening frame with Eric Uba and McGeen both scoring in the second minute of the game. Pickering would carve the lead in half later in the first but Wellington's Andrew Rinaldi potted an unassisted marker at 14:15 of the second period and that goal stood up as the eventual winner. Stefano Palatsidis scored partway through the third but Wellington, who must be developing nerves of steel thanks to all these one goal contests, managed to steer home the victory.
The Dukes were in Newmarket to battle the Hurricanes last night and will finally skate out onto home ice on Friday when they host the North York Rangers for a 7:30 p.m. Puck drop. On Sunday afternoon, Wellington tries the Aurora Tigers at the Aurora Community Centre. 'Round the 'Roc: The club announced it was suspending two players for a regrettable incident that took place over the weekend. The club did not announce which players were being suspend, only that both young men have taken full accountability for their actions and are sincerely apologetic. No other details were released. “The Wellington Dukes organization plans to handle these issues swiftly and effectively recognizing that these two young men are both good people that made a very unfortunate and disappointing decision. The Wellington Dukes do not take these incidents lightly and will do our best to ensure that our players recognize that it is a privilege to play here and respect for the community is at the forefront of our values,” Woodward said in a news release.

basketball. “The sky is really the limit for this individual,” Spencer wrote. Like Arsenault, junior girls winner Mikayla Leavitt left her mark on the PECI sporting scene thanks to a great season with the Panthers basketball squad as well as volleyball, tennis and soccer teams. Spencer noted Leavitt’s ability to excel and rise to great heights when the opportunity arose. Vanessa Willis and PECI sports excellence seem to go hand-in-hand these past four years and the PECI senior was an easy choice as top female athlete , providing key leadership and ability to a vaunted PECI basketball team that took the sporting community in Prince Edward County by storm last season. On the male side, Carter Whitteker was bright spot on the senior soccer team and was the best player on the Panthers hockey team last season. All county secondary school athletes of the year will have their plaque installed in the hall of fame area alongside the permanent inductees for a period of one year.

PIRATES, from page 26 McFarland and the Panthers took advantage of the power-play opportunity, scoring to make it 3– 0 1:25 into the second. Cameron Lowery extended the lead to four just 19 seconds later. Lowery would make it 5–0 with a powerplay marker 5:41 into the middle frame and Greg Powles and Cameron McGill added goals at 6:40 and 12:57, respectively. Justin Arnold got Picton on the board with a power-play goal from Jordon Cannons and Will Harrison with three minutes left in the second, but Dayton Kent restored the seven-goal advantage in the final minute. Christian Streef and Kent added goals in the third to make it 10–1 and Gerald Bilker responded for Picton with 20 seconds left on the clock to close the game. The Panthers had the overall advantage in shots, leading Picton 38–31 in the game. The Pirates entered Thursday's contest with less than a full lineup with just 10 forwards starting. The Pirates also found themselves at a disadvantage on the back end early in the game with Kelsey Katchuik ejected for a hit from behind. The setbacks continued with another defenceman suffering a shoulder injury and not returning for the third period. “We were definitely undermanned and, against a good team like Port Hope, that definitely had an impact,” Masterson said. “They're still a good team, they come at you hard, they're speedy

and they can roll four lines at you.” The Pirates now turn their attention to the Campbellford Rebels, who visit the Prince Edward Community Centre tonight at 7:30. Masterson is looking for a more complete effort. “Ideally, we get through it with a solid effort, play a good solid game, start to gel a bit and find some line combinations that work,” he said. However, he the team will still be without a few bodies. “We've got three players actually suspended from either the preseason or the previous season, so really right now we're just looking to get our full team dressed and playing and start gelling together,” he said. “We still won't have that for the next couple of games.” The team heads to Napanee to
take on the Raiders Friday night at 7:30 and to Gananoque to face the Islanders on Sunday at 7 p.m. The Pirates have also introduced a new promotion this season called the Pirates Treasure Chest in an effort to raise funds for the community-run not-forprofit club. For a cost of $5, fans can purchase a key to the chest which is filled with an assortment of prizes Toronto Maple Leafs tickets Belleville Senators tickets, gift cards and more. Those who purchased keys will be asked to attend a game in November to test them on the lock and eventually reveal the winner. “That's one of our big fundraisers this year,” said Masterson. “There's a variety of things in there and we're thinking in the $1,000–$1,500 range worth of prizes.”

Junior Panthers off to 2-0 season start
Life on the road suits the PECI Junior Basketball Panthers fine. After a pair of away games to start the Bay of Quinte Conference season, the Panthers find themselves 2-0 with decisive victories over Trenton and Bayside. Tipping off the season last Wednesday, the Panthers went into the Tigers’ lair and captured a 49-35 decision. Grade 10 players took the lead in the opening contest as Madalynn Snider scored nine points and Becca McHugh, eight points. Nine Panthers found the hoop in total. Emily Wight counted the game’s only threepointer among her seven points. On Monday, the Panthers overcame a slow start that saw them score just seven points in the first quarter. Leading 15-7 at the break, they kicked it up a notch in the second half to cruise to a 48-16 decision. Again, it was scoring by committee as 11 girls registered points. Grade 9 player Gracie Burris
MADALYNN SNIDER
had eight points, Snider seven, and Wight six. The games bookended a difficult tournament in Kingston over the weekend, which was a learning experience for the team as they played three strong competitors. Coach Rob Garden says the Panthers have the pieces to become something special if they continue to develop. “We’ve got six juniors returning and this is a team that made it
to the COSSA semifinals last year. We brought in six girls with rep experience and one girl who showed really well in tryouts,� he said, adding the team shows similarities to last year’s OFSAA senior team and it may even be more ahead in its development given the players’ rep ball experience. “We’re building for an OFSAA push in a few years,� Garden said. This year’s learning will include developing more a runand-gun style with more focus on shooting the ball. Garden said that won’t change the team’s hallmark defence, it is just intended to add more dimensions offensively. “On previous teams for these girls at the high school, club or elementary level, that wasn’t part of the focus,� he said. The Panthers next play in a trimeet at Centre Hastings Monday. -Adam Bramburger, Staff
While most visitors asked Doornekamp about the conveyer system, the tunnel system that runs deep from the cliff face underneath the roadways at the top of the site, others made their opposition to the operation of the port audible to fellow tour takers and Picton Terminals staff. Doornekamp realizes that not every opponent of the operation that takes a tour of Picton Terminals will have an sudden change of heart.But he feels the message of how Picton Terminals operates and what takes place there is available to those that are interested. “The message isn't our message or the County's message but it's just the message and it's getting out there,� Doornekamp said. “ The old ship loader could have just rotted there but instead it's being used and repurposed, the infrastructure is being updated and we are very proud to the ones doing it.� The next Picton Terminals open house will likely take place in mid-to-late October when the company takes ownership of a tugboat. Doornekamp said the boat is being shipped to Montreal from the plant in Shanghai and will undergo a certification process. “We're excited to have our own tugboat here and hire local captains. There are quite a few of them in the area,� he added. The open house will include the opportunity for members of the public to take tugboat rides in Picton Bay weather permitting.
