It was easy to see the animosity building between residents opposed to wind turbines and those in favour at last week's White Pines Wind Project open house, and residents on both sides said that's the worst part about the issue. Several heated discussions broke out between residents, each trying to convince the other to see the opposite side of the coin. Whether in favour or not, the divisiveness of the issue has been apparent from the start. Thursday's County Coalition for Safe and Appropriate Green Energy (CCSAGE)-organized rally against the White Pines project and industrial wind turbines in general seemed to be a microcosm of the issue. While a large group of anti-wind turbine protesters sported signs with sayings such as “Mad as Hell,” “No to White Pines,” and “Greed not green,” a smaller group of turbine supporters simply proclaimed “We support wind energy.” All the honking, chanting, and bickering led one onlooker to remark it was like watching “a bunch of children.” It's not child's play for part-time South Marysburgh resident Liz Driver, however. Driver was passionate on her stance against putting wind turbines in the county and said communities have been torn apart by the issue. She said the first issue that came to mind was the impact on the county's heritage. She charged that there has been disregard for the community and its heritage shown in consultant reports conducted on behalf of developer wpd Canada. “The other thing is that they looked at the county and they seemed not to see any heritage even though this is one of the earliest areas of settlement for all of Ontario,” she said. “It's just extraordinary how limited their study was. “The worst thing is that the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport expressed satisfaction of their report sitting in their office based on a report

which is incomplete, inaccurate and misleading because of its lack of depth of analysis.” Driver said a group of residents brought those concerns to the ministry, but the report was approved regardless. “The ministry failed to act, so we have a provincial government which is not paying attention to the concerns of the people and here today you have people who have concerns about health, heritage, nature — just their own right to live in peace in their own homes — and the government isn't listening,” she said. More than 100 residents and visitors came out to the open house. A large group of turbine friendly residents on one side, a large group of turbine opposed on the other. One visitor who said he lived on Wolfe Island attempted to share his view on turbines with the group of wind energy supporters and was promptly met with shouts of “go back to Toronto.” On the other side a steady stream of 50 cars honked their displeasure with turbines as wind supporters shook their heads. “It's splitting the community and it's really not fair,” Driver said. It's on that point South Marysburgh resident Tim Rorabeck agreed and said it's too bad it had to be this way. Rorabeck said he has

he said. “I really strongly believe in this. A lot of people are making comments that we're greedy, but if these wind turbines went up or not I would support them.”

Another member of the family that is Prince Edward County agriculture is about to be honoured at the Quinte Agricultural Wall of Fame in Stirling. George Reynolds, one of the founders of Prince Edward County's largest farming outfit, Reynolds Brothers Farms, will be inducted in a ceremony at the Hastings County Agricultural Museum Sunday, Sept. 16 in a ceremony slated to kick off at 2 p.m. Reynolds, 85, just turned in his tractor keys this past year and said he was pleased to hear his photo would going up alongside other Quinte farming legends later this month. “I thought that's quite an honour to be inducted with all these great people,” Reynolds said of his first thoughts when he received the call from the Wall. Reynolds began farming with his father on a purebred holstein dairy farm west of Picton and said he can recall vividly milking cows by hand. “There was a lot of joy when we first got electricity and the automatic milking machine,” Reynolds said. He bought out his father from the operation and farmed with his brother Bruce until Bruce's unfortunate passing in 1970. Sometime later, George, his younger brother Larry and his nephew Lloyd Crowe would form Reynolds Brothers Inc.

It wasn't so long ago the tomato was king of Prince Edward County. Barley might have had its day, grain and corn have been mainstays and grapes are the flavour of the week, but canning fruit and vegetables, particularly tomatoes, were the crop everyone was planting. Those days when the county was referred to Canada's fruit basket and canning factories dotted the landscape are now a distant memory. However, for one weekend at least, the tomato returned to the forefront of Prince Edward County agriculture as Vicki's Veggies hosted the annual Heirloom Hurrah, a toast to the juicy red (or sometimes yellow, purple or even tiger striped!) hand fruit Saturday and Sunday. Over 320 rare and endangered varieties of tomato were available to be taste-tested this past weekend and in all, about 2,000 people made their way to Vicki Emlaw's farm on Morrison Point purchase organically grown produce, check out some local like-minded vendors and try what the tail end of summer in the south of Prince Edward County tastes like. Now in its 10th season, the celebration of the heirloom tomato is an annual event that seems to keep growing and growing and Emlaw believes its due to people looking to taste something they have before. “I think that's the reason, there is more and more peo-

ple discovering heirloom tomatoes and people are searching for something good,” she told the Gazette Tuesday. “It's travelling by word of mouth, people tell their friends or family and you see new people here every year wanting to taste these tomatoes.” One Vicki's Veggies fan that knows firsthand how good her produce tastes is Toronto-based food consultant Joel Solish. Solish discovered Vicki's produce at the evergreen brickworks market about three years ago and has been in love with her tomatoes and her farm ever since. “I met Vicki at the market and soon realized that she grows some of the best tomatoes in Ontario,” Solish said. Solish works with farmers and chefs to strengthen their brands and said its value added operations like Vicki's Veggies that he appreciates. “You can spot the quality and the value here,” he said as he helped Saturday morning. The Heirloom Hurrah is slowly becoming a valueadded event. Originally started a decade ago as a way to introduce heirloom tomatoes to the public, the event now has several local and like-minded vendors that present their offerings in a two day showcase. “The Heirloom Hurrah started when I had a bumper crop of tomatoes and I was not sure what I was going to do with them all,” Emlaw explained. “I knew if people tried them, they would buy them but the problem was, they weren't like other tomatoes in the store. After it took off, I thought 'I know all these people who have this awesome stuff to sell, why don't I get them over here too?'.” Among those taking part this past weekend was JC Nyman Farms, Edible Antiques (an heirloom seed selling business), Pat's Jams and Humble Bread.

Loyalist student Church wins Willi Fida Culinary Bursary for second straight year of groups of 15-20 students working together, students will work in teams of four and take on more supervisory roles to learn about the business side of running a kitchen. First year also brought about a change in plans for Church as she went to Loyalist thinking she'd like to focus on baking and sweets. She found out the first day many of her classmates shared similar interests and the professors encouraged her to diversify. "A lot of the teachers recommend being able to do both fields and be a cook who's able to bake," she said. "It made me realize I could broaden my horizons and cover a lot of bases." This summer, Church did a work-study placement at the college alongside chef Steve Nicholson. She said under his tutelege, she was able to take on responsibility and teach new apprenticeship students starting out. Church didn't mince words when speaking about her appreciation for the Community Foundation, Fida family, and all the generous benefactors who helped her out. "It means the whole world to me," she said. "There's clearly a lot of people who believe in what they're doing and I really hope this bursary can go on and help other students like me to get into this profession." Having just finished her own university degree in nursing, Fida's daughter Melanie said she could appreciate the dedication

"There's a great chance (here) for any student to come in and get an education. Work experience is the best. School is a good experience to add to that, but you can't beat working." Right from her start with the PECI Junior Iron Chef team, which competed at Loyalist, Church said she's had a chance to work with leading chefs like Michael and Lili Sullivan and the staff at the Waring House. She said the bursary is an extension of the support they've offered. "I think a lot of people leave the county and think there's no opportunity here. I know in this field, there's a lot of really great things happening," she said. "I've always liked this area, but when you see people coming together like this to not only recognize such a large figure and a great man, but to make a change in some-

body else's life — to not only remember Willi, but help make my dreams come true and contribute to that, I really appreciate it." After starting at Loyalist as an apprenticeship student, Church completed her first year with honours last year. She enjoyed the program and indicated that she learned a number of valuable lessons that will serve her well in a kitchen down the line. "You really realize there's a lot more responsibility than you think there is and a lot more teamwork," she said. "You realize there's maybe some people you don't get along with, but you have to persevere to reach your goals." Church said her course load offered a nice mixture of theory and practical skills. Moving forward, she expects second year to be vastly different as instead

Angeline's was filled with people enjoying good food and good times last Thursday evening continuing the fine culinary traditions Willi Fida established at the Bloomfield restaurant. Those people were there to carry on Fida's spirit in other ways as the evening was one of the primary fundraisers for the Willi Fida Culinary Bursary Award, which helps send deserving county residents to post-secondary education in the culinary arts. "It was a really strong will from Willi to help people and to train people, to bring people in and work with them," said Heinz Haas, a member of a professional committee with Cynthia Peters and Karin Desveaux, that adjudicates applications for the award. "We're just trying to keep the whole spirit going." For the second consecutive year, there was a repeat recipient of the bursary administered by the County Community Foundation. After sharing the prize with two-time winner Andrea Heuving last year, Marlayna Church was the sole recipient of this year's bursary. Haas said Church met all the criteria again, including her willingness to learn her trade beyond just her classes at Loyalist College. "She's also interested in her community and in volunteer positions and that was a big part of the acceptance to get this bursary," he said. Haas indicated he sometimes wishes the committee had more applicants coming forward, but he said sometimes it is a difficult step for young talent to go away to school. "Young people in restaurants are busy in the summertime and no one wants to lose the young staff in the winter as the fall is busy as well," he said. "Also, in high schools some years there is more interest in cooking and culinary than in other years." Now retired, Haas spent over 20 years teaching culinary arts and restaurant management at Loyalist. He said the route Church is taking is a great way to train, particularly under the influence of some of the great chefs attracted here by the county's popular food industry. "It's the best of both sides you can get," he said.

Church has put into her goals and said she hopes to see the fund continue to provide opportunities. "I really hope this bursary continues to help us help other students who want to continue following their dreams in the culinary fields," she said. "Anyone

Municipality poised to save $1.22 million as a result of corporate restructuring effort Dewing says delegation made moves possible as County eliminated 34 positions and created 26 new posts in their place Staff writer

Staffing reductions within the municipality are expected to save a significant sum as the County announced the initiation of the second phase of its corporate realignment process last week. The review and rationalization of management positions and structural changes in phases one and two of the realignment process to date

has resulted in the elimination of 34 positions and the creation of 26 positions. Chief administrative officer Merlin Dewing said the eight eliminated positions as well as four frozen and contracted positions would result, over time, in a savings of $1,220,000. That number includes salaries and benefits. “That savings isn't going to happen immediately because there are transition

times and exit strategies that take some of that up, but that will ultimately be the savings,� Dewing said. “Some of the transitions are just a few months with exit packages and some of the transitions are two years out, so I would expect we'll see a reduction in our budget in 2013 growing into 2014 to the full (reduction) toward the end of 2014.� A release from the municipality said the County

would make “significant efforts� to mitigate the corporate realignment's effects on staff through initiatives like reassignment, early retirement and attrition. The release said the municipality would also work to make sure current resources, skills and knowledge aren't lost. Mayor Peter Mertens said in the release that the latest changes would support realignment activities that have taken place thus far, including the transition to a two commission structure, the separation of the water and wastewater service areas, as well as integrating recreation, parks and culture and planning and building functions into the remaining commissions. “Each of these steps brings us closer to our goal of a brighter future for the county, contributing to the Creation of a streamlined and sustainable municipality with effective customer service delivery,� Mertens said. Dewing said the decisions on which positions to retain, which ones to eliminate, and which ones to alter were made based on an understanding of services and service levels. “It's a function of understanding what our services and service levels are, what council's focus is on, where we're moving forward and

O ur aapplicants pplicants tell tell us us that that Our oone ne ooff tthe he ttop op reasons reasons they they cchoose hoose LLoyalist oyalist College College iiss the the excellence of of our our teaching. teaching. excellence

fines, parking tickets and marriage and lottery licenses. Burn permits and dog tags will be sold at the libraries as well as other municipal facilities including Shire Hall. The next step of the realignment will finalize staffing and structural assessments and the recommendations associated with them. A target date of October 2012 has been set. “What we're doing is, based on the workload, the needs, goals, and objectives of council, is what staffing levels do we need to accomplish that,� Dewing said. He said with fewer supervisors there would be decreased need for administrative support, but that could create needs in other areas. “If we're downloading autonomy, responsibility and authority, there is going to be greater need for persons with some level of authority — working foremen or those kinds of things — to be created across the board so that we can get the work done at the lowest level possible with the proper decisions being made,� he said. Following finalization of the assessments the release says the realignment will continue to address sustainability and efficiency. That will include improving policies, procedures and financial strategies.

then, based on our knowledge of what we need to do the job, is identify the positions that are extraneous,� he said. “Coupled with that we're revising a number of policies, procedures, bylaws — the way we do business — and that supports the new structure.� Dewing said staff are looking at delegating some minor authorities downward through the employee ranks, “so that every single minute day-to-day decision didn't have to come up through a supervisor.� He said that allows for the reduction of supervisor positions. Aside from changes to positions the second phase of the realignment includes the combination of the Ameliasburgh and Sophiasburgh roads garages at the Ameliasburgh site. Staff in the finance department that don't work directly with the public will move to the Edward Building along with former staff of the recreation, parks and culture department, which will allow the municipality to repurpose its King Street property. Also, the community development department will be relocated to Shire Hall as the second phase is finalized. Shire Hall will still be the payment centre for property taxes, water and wastewater bills, provincial offences

Tall ship St. Lawrence II brings high seas learning experience to Picton harbour Aboard, youth learn sailing fundamentals Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

Visitors to Picton Harbour last Thursday morning were greeted by a glimpse of history. Brigantine Incorporated's St. Lawrence II was moored in the harbour through Thursday morning and into the afternoon, where the 19th Century-style tall ship attracted many curious onlookers and media. The vessel arrived with 21 sailors, including 12 trainees after visiting Waupoos. Although the ship originates from Portsmouth Harbour in Kingston, trainees travel from across North America and even Europe to take part in the program. While most of the ship's trainees, officers and crew were off on a scavenger hunt through Picton, volunteer David More greeted visitors and answered questions. “We stopped in Kingston briefly to take on a trainee, then up to Waupoos. Yesterday the weather was supposed to blow like stink from the southwest, so we decided we'd come around and say hello to Picton,” he said. “It's a lovely sheltered harbour.” More said he wasn't sure where the ship was headed after Picton. “The captain likes to keep

that a surprise,” he said. Among those who received a tour of the ship was chief administrative officer Merlin Dewing. Brigantine Incorporated is a not-for-profit organization which teaches young people from ages 12–18 the fundamental skills of sailing. The program has been running since 1954 and accepts youth with no previous sailing experience who develop their skills during training cruises which range from six to 10 days in length.

The trainees are charged with preparing meals, cleaning up, as well as working with the ship's sails and steering. More said he taught history at St. Lawrence College and was aboard as an hon-

orary education officer, teaching the trainees the history and ecology of the Great Lakes and the ships that sailed them. More also sits on the volunteer board for Brigantine. “We're trying to enhance some of the training we offer without cutting into the sail training part, which is the important part of what we do,” he said. “We put together this year a pilot project where I give the willing victims about a two-hour lecture on the history of the lakes and the importance of the lower lakes to Canada, the United States, Britain and France.” He said the project aims to give the trainees a bigger picture of what they're sailing over. He said the organization is also working with Rotary in Kingston on an Adventures in History program, which would be a camp where youth would get a hands-on lesson in history. He said Brigantine is looking to build on that as well as build on its relationships with communities across eastern Ontario and upper St. Lawrence valley to keep kids coming aboard. More said all lakeshore

communities share a marine history. “I don't know a lot about Picton history in detail, but everywhere along here built little ships like this in the 1900s. Kingston was a big ship-building place,” he said. More said the St. Lawrence II would fit right in. The ship itself was designed in 1952 and built in Kingston Shipyards. While it has a modern steel hull, the rigging and sails are all authentic. “That's 60 years ago it was designed and built in Kingston specifically for sail training,” he said. “For the first couple of years it was mostly a sea cadet vessel.” More said more than 30,000 kids have said through the program successfully, some of which have gone on to careers as captains on the Great Lakes.

PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY

Looking back in the

Picton Gazette 80 years ago — 1932

■ The local board of trade put forward a resolution calling for unemployment relief to be a local matter, rather than something handled through provincial and federal treasuries. They argued a larger system would result in greater taxation of rural citizens to pay for unemployment within urban areas. ■ Carrying Place youth Eddie Quackenbush reached Sault Ste. Marie via Toronto and Owen Sound after riding his bicycle for a week. His trip showed that highpowered automobiles aren’t necessary if one possesses the courage and stamina to make a long-distance trip. ■ Police in Belleville were concerned about a man named Seymour who came to the city from Toronto. Allegedly, he had a knack for visiting local physicians and conning them into supplying him with morphine he didn’t really need.

50 years ago — 1962

■ The annual Milford Fall Fair was to feature a new attraction as residents would be selecting a new Miss South Marysburgh. Pageant contestants were to be between ages 15 and 21. In addition to appearance, a talent competition would also be a factor in the event’s judging. ■ Thousands of monarch butterflies stopped over at Point Petre as part of their migration south. It was reported that in recent years, scientists had attached minute metal tags on the wings of some butterflies to determine they follow definite flight patterns to central America and back to Canada, only diverting from those patterns when blown off course. ■ The Rednersville Pier, a popular dance hall that had been converted from a canning factory caught fire and was totally destroyed, though firefighters managed to save a nearby cottage and house.

30 years ago — 1982

■ The Prince Edward Chamber of Commerce was to forward a letter on to MPP James Taylor about rumours the Prince Edward Heights Complex could be shut down, as president Bev Skidmore said it would have a drastic impact on the community. The complex, housing disabled adults, employed 475 people directly, and supported other local business. Its residents also provided services for seniors and participated in community events in the area. ■ The County elected to raise costs for those living in H.J. McFarland Home $2.50 per day to a per diem of $24.86 in November, rather than Sept. 1 after four hours notice. Picton Reeve Charles Hepburn a member of social services committee said the increase would counter an expected increase in operating costs. ■ County council learned the welfare case load in July represented a 44-percent increase over the same time in 1981.

10 years ago — 2002

■ Prince Edward OPP detachment commander Bernie Gaw informed officers he’d like to see more time spent on foot patrols in Picton, Bloomfield, and Wellington to increase visibility. ■ Local Hay West organizer George Emlaw indicated 10 more rail cars were made available to send hay to drought stricken farmers in Alberta. Farmers through the county and Quinte area contributed generously to the campaign.

All about stingers and those who use them

I have enjoyed watching our nectar feeders this summer. Two of them are conventional hummingbird feeders, and they have attracted a steady stream of clients. Mostly, we have enjoyed the butterfly feeders and the array of butterflies and bees and other insects they seem to have attracted. This past week though, it has been bees. There has been a swarm of honeybees at the bird baths every day. It is likely the only moisture they have seen all summer. At one of the butterfly feeders, it is a dozen or so yellowjackets that come, seemingly infatuated with the grape jelly I place in two of the pockets, cleaning them out in less than a week. Another butterfly feeder has a handful of baldfaced hornets. I always reach for my camera rather than the Raid, as I relish the presence of these insects, although I do respect the hornets since they definitely have an attitude. They are wildlife, and I refuse no one. I can’t remember the last time I was ever stung by a bee. Yet, I can work in their presence daily, fill the feeders and the bird bath, as they buzz about my head, seemingly aware that I bring them nourishment. They are as welcome on our property as other wildlife and form an important link in the natural scheme of things around our house. It’s biodiversity at work and I try not to interfere. There always has been considerable confusion about bee identity. Many people label

hornets as wasps and yellow jackets as hornets, often tossing the names around with reckless abandon as though they were all interchangeable. Some believe that hornets and yellow jackets are the same insect; actually they are not. They belong to the same family of vespid wasps, but the two are as different as night and day. Some we have on our property are yellow paper wasps, much longer than hornets and yellow jackets, with long legs and the familiar thin thread which joins the abdomen to the thorax. Yellow paper wasps are those we frequently see clinging to the outside of their open paper celled nests attached to the rafters of buildings, or as many an unsuspecting person has found — in behind loose boards, shingles, et cetera. The blue mud dauber is similar in profile but its nest is con-

structed of mud and similarly can be found attached to rafters. Both species of wasps have powerful stings, but fortunately are not easily provoked. Bald-faced hornets build the large basketball-sized paper nests that are most always constructed out in the open, their nests attached to the eves of buildings or hanging menacingly from tree branches. The nest comprises several layers of cells, covered on the outside by the familiar grey paper with an opening on the bottom. The bees entering and exiting from the formidable spout have black and white patterns on the face, thorax and abdomen. Generally the bees will go about their business quietly, but if the nest is disturbed, bald-faced hornets will sting repeatedly as my brother found out one day when he was a teenager and attempted to eradicate one such nest that was hanging from a crabapple tree in our farmyard. Yellow jackets on the other hand are somewhat slimmer and have alternating back and yellow segments. These are the bees that become such pests at picnics. While their nests are similar to the bald-faced hornet, the nests tend to be smaller and rounder, located in out of the way nooks and crannies, and frequently in hollows in the ground where they are often stumbled upon by accident with disastrous consequences. There is one inside our garage this summer. Unlike the bald-faced hornet, yellow jack-

ets will sting at the slightest provocation. When I was on the farm, we used to find them on stalks of sweet clover in hay fields, and occasionally in manure piles where they would build in the dry manure and straw at the top of the pile. All of these bees — the paper wasps, yellow jackets and hornets — are collectively termed social wasps. One to several females begin a colony by making small paper cells of masticated plant material mixed with saliva. One egg is laid per cell, and when it hatches the larva is fed chewed bits of other insects, especially caterpillars. Colonies of hornets and yellow jackets (genus Vespula) are founded by a single queen, but colonies of other paper wasps (such as the genus Polistes) may have several founder females. Eventually, however, only one female, the queen, lays eggs. When the larvae transform to adults, they join the queen in constructing and provisioning the colony. So, if you should wander in our yard anytime this week, be aware there are bees at work – lots of them. Bring them an offering, and you will be their friend forever.

one man can do what it took 15 men to do.” After the bottom fell out of the canning business locally in 1990, Reynolds Brothers took their show on the road and continue to harvest peas mechanically in western Ontario. In addition to the 6,000 acres of peas in the Ingersoll area, Reynolds Brothers farm 5,000 acres of corn, soybeans and wheat in Prince Edward, Hastings and Lennox and Addington Counties and also offer custom harvesting and grain dry-

ing services. Not just a farmer, Reynolds served his community in the political arena, 13 years as a councillor, deputy reeve and reeve of Hallowell Town Council and was Prince Edward County Warden in 1985. Reynolds also was a leader at the Pentecostal Church in Picton, serving on the church board. Some of the works organized by the church include a local bible school, the building of Harmony House Seniors facility

in Picton, church construction in Cranbrook British Columbia and mission projects in guatemala, Brazil and Jamaica. Reynolds figures he was born to be a farmer and it said it was hard for him to retire last year. “They kicked me out screaming,” Reynolds said with a laugh. “Of course, I've watched this corn field across the road shrivel up so maybe this was the right year to get out.”

IT appears hockey fans in this area and across North America will have to look closer to home for their action fix this winter as the NHL and its players appear poised for a stalemate that would training camps halted before a single game is played. If public reports are to be believed, this doesn’t sound like one of those games that is merely two well-matched foes taking to the ice for the spirit of the competition, going hard at negotiations until a winner emerges in overtime. Instead, it looks like the owners and players have failed to even show up in the same rink with equipment for the same game. At this point, the owners seem to be concerned most that the players have disproportionate share of the hockey-related revenue going their way. It may be true, but it seems to be a difficult position to defend when most are still racing to pay top dollar to get a better product, which in turn brings in more revenue via ticket sales, merchandising, and media. Without star players, would people still line up to watch the Montreal Canadiens or the Toronto Maple Leafs —well, maybe they would. In that case, maybe the owners do deserve a bigger share of the profit than the skilled players they promote. Meanwhile, the players appear to be more focused on a financial system that balances the have teams and the have-not teams by means of a luxury tax that would allow those teams who want to spend more to do so. Parity in the league, however, has not been a real issue with many so-called small market teams performing well. Inevitably, both sides will also have things they want to do to improve devices like free agency, contract lengths, and playing conditions. The bottom line, here, however, is that revenues continue to skyrocket and a bunch of millionaires and billionaires can’t figure out how to share the spoils so that each side can do better, not about how they can better appease the fans who bought into their product and helped the sport grow despite the fact most businesses aren’t growing these days. It would be a shame to see professional hockey lose that core audience, yet, one can’t help but think that another lockout might just deal the knockout blow. Meanwhile, we know what we’ll be doing. The schedules for the Wellington Dukes, Picton Pirates, Prince Edward County Kings and Legionettes are just beginning along with the teams and leagues they associate with and a number of recreational leagues. There’s exciting hockey right here by people giving it their all to win games and go on to the next level. It’s much more affordable and probably more entertaining than watching some of those NHL teams and players that constantly take in more money and deliver less entertainment. We encourage you to get out to a local rink and give the hockey a try, particularly if you’re missing Hockey Night in Canada. Like many local diehards, you might never spend another evening in front of the television when your team is playing.

Art show designed to repurpose books set to be recycled

Artists and non-artists alike who are interested in creating art pieces, furnishings or interesting objects from books otherwise destined to be recycled, are invited to take part in a unique art show and sale. “DiscARTed” is a fundraising art show presented in partnership between The County of Prince Edward Public Library & Archives and the Prince Edward County Authors Festival. There is no cost to participate and the items will be available for sale with 50 per cent of the profits for the artist and the other 50 per cent shared equally between the library and the Authors Festival. Completed pieces must be delivered by October 8th, 2012. The DiscARTed Show & Sale will be held upstairs at Books & Company from Oct. 11 and Oct. 20. “We have many books that are past their useful life,” says Library CEO Barbara Sweet. Books that are damaged, have been in the library’s used book sale for a long time and are clearly not going to sell because they are no longer relevant, or ones that contain information that is no longer accurate, are all examples of the type of books that must be recycled. Sweet admits that this is an unfortunate reality for libraries, but one that has also presented an opportunity to hold what promises to be an exciting fundraiser. Members of the board of the Prince Edward County Authors Festival David Sweet, Alexandra Bake and Barbara Burns-Sweet, who happen to own Books & Company, also have books that are destined to be recycled. “The DiscARTed Art Show and Sale is a perfect match in many ways,” says Sweet, “and one that we hope will stir people’s imaginations for a good cause.” The creative use of books as art material is evident on many web sites and blogs on the Internet, and a simple search for “recycling books into art” or “furniture from recycled books” yields an amazing number of ideas. There are also various books available on the topic. The library is also offering a DiscARTed drop-in info session on Tuesday, Sept. 11 from 5 p.m to 7 p.m where examples of book creations will be viewed and there will be an opportunity to exchange ideas and rummage through books available to take away for projects. Registration will be available that evening, or people can register anytime up to Oct. 1

inside the libRaRy CHRISTINE RENAUD

at crenaud@peclibrary.org. Once participants decide on a project and the approximate number of books they might need, they can also obtain books by dropping in to the Picton branch or calling 476-5962 to make an appointment, or they may contact Books & Company at 476-3037 to make an appointment to browse the books available there. Books used in the submitted piece(s) must be from The County of Prince Edward County Public Library books designated for recycling or from those of Books & Company. The books will be available for free. Pieces may be created or constructed with materials other than books, but books must figure prominently. “Pieces need to be delivered upstairs at the bookstore either Oct. 7 or 8,” says David Sweet, “so that we can organize the show.” The show opens Oct. 11 at 7p.m., upstairs at the bookstore and runs until Saturday, Oct. 20.” Three Peoples Choice Awards will be presented on Oct. 20 to coincide with the International Festival of Authors Lit on Tour event being held at Books & Company. Lit On Tour is part of the IFOA’s touring programme which brings respected Canadian and International authors to a few select locations in Ontario. This year’s writers include Joanne Harris, Arno Kopecky and Grace O’Connell. “The combination of a book-based art show and these excellent authors should prove to make for a special evening,” says David Sweet. For more information about the show, contact the County of Prince Edward Public Library or Books & Company, or e-mail: crenaud@peclibrary.org

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Signs point to impending catastrophes for world

It is interesting to note that two letter writers in response to my letter of a few weeks ago did not get the point, or if they did they used the opportunity to present their own agenda or rant. Not that there is anything wrong with this. I was also ranting. This is not about wanting winning or control, simply clarity. May we all have the freedom to express individually in whatever way possible. I don’t know where else Mr. Hanna gets his info from, only citing the Holy Bible and YouTube videos. What I do know about the times we are living in comes from my intuition and spiritual guides and from several well-respected

Russian scientists, PhDs, who are also psychic. We verify our discoveries, me through personal experience as I am a metaphysician and they through scientific means, although some as I said are highly psychic as well. My former husband and I have been in touch with many IFSS Identifiable Flying Space Ships, most call UFOs, when we lived in the British Columbia mountains. near Jasper. He was a fighter pilot and base commander with the Canadian air force (now retired). He could explain how some of the ships were powered and professed many sightings of UFOs and government knowledge of same. I, being the writer and

clairvoyant, clairaudient and clairsentient in the family could converse with the commanders of some ships and have communed with many galactics and well-known spiritual teachers from the past. They provide information as to the pending earth changes. The galactics I am in contact with provide information on the state of the earth, how purification is necessary and unavoidable, how we can adapt and what we can do to help heal the earth and humans as we go through this wild ride. I have not felt fear from the visitors that I have had, although I can see that some would be terrified at the appearance of galactics

as they are ‘awesome’. If the Gazette readers are further interested in my experiences - I‘ve written books about these scenarios. My point is there are catastrophes coming, earth changes that will change the whole world and I am receiving these kinds of messages now frequently and wish to bring awareness to this. The information I have collected is much too expansive, too broad to share in a letter to the editor. I do though teach metaphysics, www.thealternateark.com which means ‘beyond the body’, locally and internationally. Agnes Toews-Andrews

Time to end the LCBO monopoly in Ontario

We just moved to Wellington from Ottawa and can't begin to say how > much we enjoy living in the county. Our only regret is that we still have to shop at LCBO for our libations. The LCBO (Liquor Control Board of Ontario) is simply a relic of a long past era when governments believed it was their duty to overcharge customers to encourage moderation in alcohol consumption. But is this form of monopoly really necessary in today's worldly competitive environment? Unlike large retailers like Costco, LCBO does not negotiate volume discounts with suppliers to pass on to consumers. They actually encourage the opposite. As a result, instead of paying

about $13 for a 1.75 liter bottle of Gordon's Gin at any privately owned Florida outlet, I get gouged over $50.00 for the same bottle at LCBO. Whether one buys liquor or wine, the majority of their prices are excessive and out of touch with today's retail environment. I say it's time for government to relinquish control and get out of the liquor business. Sad to say, it is a huge billion dollar cash cow for the Ontario government and I see little likelihood of that ever happening. What say you wine connoisseurs and winery owners in the county? Paul Picher Wellington

Kudos to West Lake resident Dave Mcgee on his entrepreneurial bent! Initially I was very supportive and could see that it might be a useful tool for some dog owners however, my opinion changed when I read 'a company in China'. One can only assume that not only did China work out the 'kinks and flaws', but they're manufacturing the Augiedog as well. In the last six months, Chinese-made chicken jerky treats have caused the death of many beloved pets and sickened many more and caused pet owners to become sick with salmonel-

la from handling the jerky treats. More important is the number of people that might have jobs if Mcgee’s product was made in Canada. So Mcgee has managed to create a product that will generate an income for him, but what about the rest of us with no jobs. I and many of my dog loving friends are boycotting products 'Made in China' and I urge everybody to do the same to give our economy the best chance to recover and put Canadians back to work.

Rorabeck said he believes wind turbines are part of the solution to the world's energy and pollution problems. “Whether these wind mills went or not in Prince Edward County I have truly always supported wind mills and have always thought they were very, very intriguing,” he said. “Whether they happen here or not we'll see.”

Rorabeck said he believes property owners should have the right to do what they want with their property as long as they're following the law. “If I abide by all the laws that are put down in our county I should be able to do what I want on the land as long as I'm doing it within the legal boundaries that are set down,” he said. “For some reason other people seem to think I shouldn't be allowed to do that.”

He said he's studied many turbine installations from Wolfe Island to the United States and in western Canada. “I've talked to lots of people and there were some that were negative, but 90 per cent of the people I talked to spoke very highly of them,” he said. Rorabeck said he doesn't see health impacts as an issue. “I don't think they're going to affect us. I'm not a

specialist, but I would like to think the people that are doing the science are relatively smart and competent about what they're doing, so I do believe them,” he said. This was wpd's final open house for the White Pines project. The project consists of 29 turbines with a 60 megawatt contracted capacity. The project is estimated to feed enough energy into the grid annually to power 9,683 homes.

Those living in and driving around the town of Picton might have noticed some heavy equipment and piping accumulating at the site of a potential Shoppers Drug Mart store on Main Street this past week. Those excited about the possibility of one of Canada's largest retailers coming to Prince Edward County will have to temper their hopes, however, as the equipment is being stored on the site as part of a major construction project that will be happening on Washburn Street. Prince Edward County project manager Joe Angelo said the project would entail work to Washburn Street's sanitary and storm sewer pipes as well as the water line and work to the street surface itself. “The whole business,” Angelo said.

You’re invited to the celebration of Community Care’s first 35 years! The event planning is under full steam and is coming together. We can now invite you to a wonderful afternoon celebration on Friday, Oct. 26 at the Regent Theatre where we will launch new volunteer recruitment videos. We’re also negotiating with a terrific guest speaker. Details will be released soon. We’re encouraging all of our past and present volunteers, clients, donors, supporters, and the general public to mark your calendar. We’ve been digging around in the storeroom and many scrapbooks and photos of the first 35 years of Community Care have been hauled out and dusted off. These will be on display for the afternoon. You’ll enjoy looking at Gazette clippings from the late 1970s and early 1980s. None of us have aged a bit! Watch this column for more details and plan to cele-

If you live outside The County and you wish to purchase gift certificates send us an e-mail at info@communitycareforseniors.org and we’ll make the arrangements with you.

Fake bank inspectors creating real victims, OPP say The Ontario Provincial Police have received several reports of financial scams targeting seniors and other vulnerable people. According to police, individuals claiming to be from one of Canada’s chartered banks convince their victims to withdraw for funds to use as evidence assisting in a fake theft investigation involving

bank personnel. Once the victim withdraws the money and hands it to the phony inspector, he or she is asked to go home and wait for a call confirming the money has been redeposited. The money is never returned, and in some cases, seniors were subsequently defrauded out of thousands of dollars.

“This type of fraud, preying on seniors and vulnerable persons, is one more way in the already long history of fraud-related crimes,� said OPP deputy commissioner Scott Tod. “Increasing awareness of fraud is the first step toward decreasing its devastating impact.� Police are advising that neither they, nor a chartered

bank will ever ask the public to withdraw money or assist in an undercover operation. When unsure, individuals are asked to call their bank, the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (1-888-495-8501) or Crime Stoppers (1-800-2228477) or verify with a trusted family member or friend. -Staff

Taste the County would like to announce, with confidence and pride that Grace Nyman will be departing from this organization. She was selected out of deep roster of candidates to take on the role of Coordinator in the newly appointed Community Development Department.

Grace has been the backbone of this organization for many years. She has left an indelible mark on both Taste the County and tourism in Prince Edward County. We have no doubt that Grace will lead with the same charisma, poise and dedication she has exhibited here, and anticipate inspiring results in her new position. We look forward to this exciting time of transition and change for all, and wish Grace tremendous success and fulfillment. Sincerely,

yards of Burgundy. Her real vocation is in the soil and in

2000 she planted her six -acre vineyard in Prince Edward County. Catherine’s hard work and genuine passion for her craft have produced many fine, award-winning wines. René hails from Toro, Spain, and his family’s traditions of making, selling and enjoying wine go back centuries. Lorenzo is pleased and proud to be part of such a diverse, tolerant and fun-loving team. In 2000 Langlois planted Riesling, Cabernet Franc and the French hybrids Maréchal Foch and Vidal. Hybrids were chosen because they ripen early thereby obtaining the desired sugar levels, even in colder years. They are the perfect choice to handle the tough Canadian winters. Here at Sandbanks, we prac-

behind the wines Sandbanks Estate winemaker Catherine Langlois has been involved in every step of the process in making the entire range of wines sold at the winery, just west of Wellington. (Joe Hache/For The Gazette)

If you travel down Loyalist Parkway you will pass one of the most colourful wineries in the county. Sandbanks Estate Winery, located on the Loyalist Parkway, is just west of the historic Village of Wellington and you can't miss it. Named for the County’s landmark sand dunes, Sandbanks Winery is a 2.5hectare vineyard and winery that overlooks the picturesque shores of Lake Ontario. The winery is owned by Catherine Langlois and her husband René Lorenzo. Langlois is the winemaker while Lorenzo is the sales and marketing side of the team. Langlois was raised on a farm in Québec, and this upbringing prepared her well for the physical work in the vine-

tice sustainable farming and we do not use any herbicides or pesticides on our estate. The largest planting is her now-signature Baco Noir. While her award-winning Riesling and Cabernet Franc show charm and class, it’s her Baco and Foch Reserve that have earned a loyal following. As a matter of fact when we did our Opimian wine tour to Sandbanks a few years ago, a few of our members discovered her Baco and make regular visits to the county just to visit Catherine and top up their supply of Baco. Although Sandbanks ships throughout Ontario (complimentary with the purchase of two bottles), people make the trip to the county to enjoy the friendly atmosphere. At Sandbanks, they offer a self-guided vineyard tour so wine lovers may feel free to wander amongst the vines and learn about the varieties there at Sandbanks. Selfguided tour maps are available in-store and provide a wonderful description of the different types of grapes grown in the Sandbanks vineyard. They invite you to enjoy their picnic area, relax and take in the wonderful atmosphere. Even Langlois’ mother is involved at Sandbanks. Rita Thivierge, the artist in residence at The Gallery at Sandbanks Winery, studied art and design in Montreal, New York, and San Francisco. Her colourful, abstract landscapes have been presented in over thirty exhibitions throughout the United States and Canada. Her art is focused on colour and its light properties and takes a contemporary approach to landscape images. Her intention is to create an atmosphere, an impression, an inner landscape. This season marks their third with their new wine boutique, contemporary art gallery and tasting room. It is very different from the first time we visited when the tasting room and boutique were situated in the basement of her house! When I was there this past weekend to get pictures and talk to Langlois, the tasting room was packed and people were enjoying glasses of wine on the deck chairs out on the patio. Langlois seemed to be everywhere and knew a lot of customers by name. Her enthusiasm seemed to be contagious and it added to the party atmosphere. Sandbanks Estate Winery is very big on events at the winery. On Saturday, Sept. 8 they are holding a "Picnic in the Vineyard". You can bring a picnic, enjoy live music and door prizes throughout the day and enjoy some great wine! They are also hosting a "Harvest Party" Sept. 15 and 22 where they will have music by Little Bluff and are inviting everyone to come out and celebrate the harvest with dance and wine. On Sept. 22there will be a special attraction when chef Matt Basile from Fidel Gastro's food truck will travel from Toronto to sell their famous Cuban Extremo sandwiches. I know that Sept. 22 I'll be out sipping and I'm thinking that a certain Sandbanks Baco just might pair pretty good with that Cuban Extremo. I can taste it already ... I'll see you there! -Joe Hache maintains an independent guide to local wineries at www.princeedwardcountywineries.com. .

Local players help team to fifth place at Ontario Summer Games PECI athletes Bennett, Ostrander have positive sevens rugby debut in Toronto adam BramBurger Staff writer

For most young athletes walking into Varsity Stadium in Toronto last month for the Ontario Summer Games opening ceremonies, there was a healthy dose of nerves mixed with pride. For PECI students Amanda Ostrander and Kierstyn Bennett, there was certainly reason for the butterflies to come forward — after all, their team wasn't just about to compete for the first time on the provincial stage, it was about to compete for its first time on any field. Both athletes were members of the Eastern Ontario Rugby Union Boltz team, a group of Under-17 girls, selected to play a sevens rugby tournament. With teammates stretching from Belleville to Ottawa, the Boltz had trouble finding scrimmage time before the Games. The march of athletes by sport into the downtown venue, however, was a welcome distraction with a sea of competitors and spectators present, introduced as part of an impressive show. After nearly two hours of waiting and organizing, the Boltz had their moment. "That was one of my highlights, looking up to my family and seeing all of these people cheering for you," said Bennett.

Ostrander said it was hard to believe the feeling running out from under the stands. "I just loved it. It was pretty sick, I'm not going to lie," she said. Running onto the field at York University for competition was a bit different, however. Bennett said she felt so nervous and excited she was going to be sick before the first game. Ostrander added that since that was also the first game of the entire tournament, there was little time to prepare or to get a sense from other teams who played what sevens might look like. "Being the first ones out, it built up more pressure and butterflies," she said. The Boltz struggled out of the gate in a 14-5 loss against Southwestern Ontario A, however Bennett managed to score the team's lone try late. She said that was a turning point for her, and for many of the girls, that their team could play the game. "You could see we were nervous, but in that second half we got into the flow of the game," she said. "I'm still happy with the way we played for a first game." The Boltz struggled initially to grasp at the pace of the games, which were vastly different than the 15-player game they knew.

Dukes step up intensity before season Hopefuls battle hard for spots as team heads to Vermont Jasonparks

Staff writer

It wasn't quite a case of next verse, same as the first for the Wellington Dukes this past weekend, but it was close. A weekend removed from sweeping the first two of four preseason games against the Kingston Voyageurs, the local Junior A squad managed a spilt of the Vees this weekend before dropping a tight 2-1 affair in Cobourg Tuesday evening to round out their 2012 exhibition schedule. All that remains for the Wellington now is take part in the annual Woodchuck Classic Showcase in South Burlington, Vermont this weekend, return in one piece and prepare for the season opener in Kingston on Thursday, Sept. 13 and the home opener against Whitby on Friday, Sept. 14. Wellington coach and general manager Marty Abrams felt all three games this weekend were intense and that's great news as the regular season is poised to kick off next week. “I thought there was some good intensity, it was kind of lacking in the first three games that we played. There was passion in their play and that's a good sign,” Abrams said. Tuesday, Wellington took on the Whitby Fury and lost a close 2-1 affair. The uniforms and the location of the hosts may have suggested Cobourg, but appears that the brand of hockey bench boss Curtis Hodgins was successful with in Whitby last season has been transferred to Cobourg in whole sale fashion, making the Cougars look like the Fury of old. With Wellington down 10 after 20 minutes, the Dukes got to work early in the second when Mike Soucier converted a Guillaume Naud feed 1:51 to square the affair at 1-1. The score would stay that way for almost 20 minutes until the Cougars' Justin Danforth bagged the eventual game winner at 1:43 of the third. Down a goal and pressing, Wellington outshot the Cougars 10-6 in the final stanza but were unable to beat Craryville, New York product Joe Keyser. Hayden Lavigne and newcomer Braydon Banitsiotis, fresh from Belleville Bulls camp, split netminding duties, each surrendering one goal a piece. For his part, Abrams

thought the game was a little more open then the score indicated and doesn't expect to see the plethora of Grade A scoring chances that were eventually muffed when the clubs hook up for real. “It wasn't necessarily a close-checking affair,” Abrams said. “There was almost 70 shots combined and I thought the goaltending was strong on both ends. (Keyser) made some big saves in the third and there were lot more offensive chances then the score would indicate. I don't think you will see those types of chances in the regular season.” On Sunday in a game Wellington likely had to get up for after taking their first three of their four-game set, Kingston finally got some revenge on home ice, doubling up on Wellington 4-2. After Vees vet Graham Yeo opened the scoring in the first, Wellington responded as Luc Brown bagged his second of the preseason at 8:48. In the second, the Vees did all the scoring with Scott Mossman and Alex Tonge each finding the range to make it a 3-1 Kingston lead. Abbott Girduckis closed the gap for Wellington his his second of the preseason early in the third, taking a Kyle Paat pass and beating Kingston starter Charlie Finn at 3:16 to make it 3-2. That would be as close as Wellington would get as the Vees' Mike Casale scored with 33 seconds left in the

contest to salt the victory away. Friday's game was a rough and tumble affair as Wellington skated off with a 4-1 win. The clubs combined for four scraps including a third period decking handed out by Jake Marchment to Blake O'Neil after O'Neil attempted to grab diminutive Evan Erickson and pick a fight with the smaller Dukes forward. Later in third, Vees defenceman Adam Morrison was successful in jumping Soucier and the 17-year-old playmaker was forced to hold on as Morrison pummeled the Duke until the linesmen stepped in. Abrams doesn't believe team toughness will be an issue this season. We went last year with four or five fights and I don't think it's a big part of the game at this level. You have to play the game hard with intensity and passion but also some integrity too and I think our team is known for that,” Abrams said. “I'm not worried about Soucier, Brown and Girduckis, they can protect themselves just fine and they can give it out a little bit too. Marchment ended up an assist shy of the Gordie Howe hat trick as his third period tally was a blast that overmatched Vees netminder Brett Nichol. Naud and Dukes captain Jan Kaminsky also had nice

outings. In the first, Kaminsky fed Brown for the games opening goal at 5:54. In the second, it was a pretty Kaminsky marker that stood up as the eventual game winner. Kaminsky took a nice pass from Naud just inside the Vees zone, toe dragged the puck past a sprawling Vees defenceman and snapped past Kingston starter Finn at 8:56. Naud capped of the scoring in the third, blasting a one timer past Nichol at 14:24.

Round the 'Roc: Wellington added 6'4” Minnesota blueliner Dominic Nitti to the lineup Tuesday...Williams was let go this weekend, meaning Pearson and Banitsiotis are the two frontrunners to back up Lavigne...It should be an interesting season series with Kingston and already Vees and Dukes fans are at one another. Friday's game featured a melee above the Kingston bench as the Vees were making their way to the dressing room at the end of the game... see next week’s Gazette for this observers views on how the East Division may shape up for the 2012-2013 OJHL regular season.

Bennett, Ostrander see future ahead in speedy sevens game

RUGBY, from page 18

Halves were only 15 minutes long and with seven players on the field there was no opportunity for a break as all the players were involved. On Bennett's try, she said it was off a break out from the pack and she knew she had to keep running because nearly every player on the field could run. "One thing you have to have is support, no one is stopping like in 15s.” During that first day of competition, the Boltz went on to beat the Northern B team 29-5, lose to the Toronto B team 20-12, and lose to the Northern A team 20-5. That put them in contention for the plate competition and fifth place overall the following day. In a tight plate semifinal game, Ostrander found the try line by jumping to evade a Southwestern B tackler to contribute to a 20-14 triumph. During the plate final, the Boltz managed to find just a little bit extra to defeat the Toronto B team that had topped them the day before. In similar fashion to the entire tournament, the Boltz would come from behind.

"We kind of made a comeback in the second half and scored two or three tries,"Ostrander said. Bennett added the team really wanted the win that day and was composed with a one-score lead and time running out late in the second half. Overall, the pair indicated they were pleased with the experience, right from teambuilding activities in Ottawa and moving into the dorms to bond together, through to the final whistle.

EVENLY MATCHED

One neat thing about the Eastern Ontario squads, Bennett said, was that instead of an A or B team like the other entries, they split the Boltz and the other team, Wildfire, evenly. Wildfire finished fourth with the Boltz cheering them on in the bronzemedal game. "Our goal had been to win the gold medal, but we realized it wasn't realistic. Everyone else went with an A and B team and we finished in the middle with both teams," she said, adding the two teams gave players more confidence and created a team atmosphere among both.

COUNTY OF PRINCE EDWARD MASTER FIRE PLAN Public Information Sessions Public Information Sessions are being held to inform the residents of Bloomfield, Consecon, Hallowell, Hillier and Picton how changes proposed as part of the Master Fire Plan could affect their area. Two sessions will be held: September 24 - 7pm @ Picton Town Hall and September 27 - 7pm @ Hillier Town Hall Input from these sessions will be considered as part of the Master Fire Plan Committee’s proposal, which will be presented at a Special Committee of the Whole on October 25, 2012 at 9:30 a.m. Further information may be obtained by contacting the undersigned.

"The whole process was to develop our skills and move us toward our goal of going to the Olympics. I think the coach made the right choice." Those coaches also encouraged the girls to work on skills development that would help in the faster sevens game, like pops and switches with the ball — "a learning curve," Bennett said. The girls also had an opportunity to be ball girls at a recent World Cup sevens qualifier in Nepean. Bennett took advantage and said it was a great opportunity to talk to the players and see how they approach the game. "It's seeing where you can be one day if you keep playing," she said. "You could see how sevens are meant to be played. It was awesome." That, and a meeting with one of Canada's bronzemedal winning soccer players are moments that will stick in her mind as she prepares for future competition ahead. With the Games over, Ostrander and Bennett are back in the classrooms of PECI and hopeful there will be enough girls to field a 15s

team this fall. They noted, however, the Belleville Bulldogs rep program is exploring the possibility of a fall sevens team and they would play. Meanwhile, they'll keep in touch with the Eastern Ontario program and work on a fitness program in preparation for future games. There is talk of tours to British Columbia and Alberta next year and tournaments ahead. Eventually, there will be a choice to make between competing at sevens or competing at 15s. Both girls are now looking at their new game seriously. "I like the option of sevens, it's such a different game," said Ostrander. "There's more of a chance for team bonding and a focus on skills." Bennett agreed, citing the speed and the fact all the players are involved at all times. Plus, there's an added bonus moving in that direction and dreaming of another stadium entrance. "It's sevens that would take you to the Olympics, so it's sevens all the way," she said.

MEMORIAM

John Fraser Pearsoll

John Pearsoll passed away suddenly but peacefully 2 1/2 years ago on March 28th, 2010, in his 75th year, at his home in Pembrooke Pines, Florida. He was born in the old Prince Edward County Hospital on Hill Street in Picton, Ontario, October 15th, 1935 to Keith Orman Pearsoll and Margaret Helen Fraser. John grew up in Prince Edward County but resided in Florida for most of his adult life. He lived the first 5 years of his life on a farm on the Bloomfield Road just outside of Picton. At the age of 5 the family switched homes with his grandfather Burton Pearsoll and moved to Bloomfield where John started school at Bloomfield Public School. When he was 9 the family moved to a house on Picton’s Main Street. His mother, a Picton girl, yearned to be living back in town amongst family and friends. A year later the family purchased Dr. Goodwin’s house at 78 King Street. Growing up he attended the Mary Street Public School and the old Picton Collegiate Institute which burned down requiring him to take his senior year in the Armouries. However, between sports, dating and working part-time, school was the least of his concerns. Louie Garrison and John played as imports on the Wellington Dukes hockey team. He played hardball on the diamond in front of the grandstand at the Fairgrounds. Bowled on a number of championship teams at Tommy Kostoff’s Bowling Academy where one night he almost bowled a perfect game – 9 strikes in a row and a spare in the 10th frame. The old bowling alley was a “hoppin” that night. Around Bailey’s poolroom he was considered a “shark”. At high school he was on the basketball team as well as being a member of the glee club. Then there was the Outlet Beach in the summertime with dancing at the Palace of the Moon, Martin’s Outlet Park, Hare’s Arena and Lake on the Mountain. He somehow even found time to play the trumpet in the town’s I.O.O.F. band and date the colonel’s daughter. To earn spending money he worked at various times for G.E. Fraser and Sons (his grandfather’s department store), Maher Shoe store and Eaton’s. On Tuesday and Friday nights, John and his sister Ann ran a snack bar at their Uncle Ross Pearsoll’s auction barn. At the end of the night John helped with the counting and loading onto the trucks of the sheep, pigs and cows that his father, a drover, had purchased that night to be shipped to Canada Packers in Toronto. After graduating from high school, his uncle Dayton Wark, the manager of the Royal Hotel offered him a job as a waiter in the dining room. Despite the fun times and excellent tips he couldn’t shake the urge to see Florida. After working Harvey McFarland Jr’s wedding reception he was off, catching a ride with Don Andrews who was then a traveling paint and wallpaper salesman in the southern United States. He was able to land a job in Miami with Genuine Parts Co. (NAPA) loading and unloading boxes of auto and truck parts in their large warehouse. How he survived that first summer in Miami he never knew. That was before there was air-conditioning. However, he was young, ambitious and a hard worker and he gradually began moving up the ranks eventually becoming Genuine Parts #2 man in the south Florida/Caribbean region. At the urging of the company he became an American citizen. In the meantime he made friends, met a local Miami girl at work – Jackie Parnell, got married in Folkston, Georgia and had 3 children, Julie, Janet and John Jr. Just as he was about to achieve a major ambition – being appointed President of the Sacramento, California warehouse – family life intervened! After a difficult delivery, they lost a child and as is often the case in a family tragedy – divorce ensued. John was left with 3 children to raise, the youngest being 2 years old. To free up more time for his family he took on the job of being an outside salesman servicing garages and large trucking, bus and construction companies. He had tried this job before in his early 20’s but decided it wasn’t for him. Coming from a small town in Ontario where everybody knew who you were and your family and treated you with respect, he couldn’t believe how rude and obnoxious the customers could be. More mature and thicker skinned this time he quickly became the #1 salesman in the Miami area and twice was NAPA’s top salesman in the United States. However, he had the urge to own his own group of auto parts stores. With the girls on their own by then, John and Johnny headed out to Lancaster, California where a friend had told him about five auto parts stores that might be for sale. After increasing sales 100% over the next year, the seller had second thoughts and reneged on the deal. John returned to Florida to the ocean which he loved. Besides, he didn’t particularly like living in the oppressive heat of the high desert. He rejoined Genuine Parts/NAPA and remained with them until he retired. He was briefly married again to Eileen Turner Voris. After retiring, John got in the habit of coming back to the “County” each summer for a couple of months and staying with Burt and Christine Pearsoll at their cottage on Salmon Point. He loved being back in the “County”, attending various events, seeing old friends and being with family. He always said “he grew up in Picton when it was at its best” and he loved to tell stories of the good times he had in his youth and the characters that populated the town. John Pearsoll is survived by his three children, Julie (David) Barron of Boynton Beach, Florida, Janet Pearsoll of Rockledge, Florida and John Pearsoll Jr of Miami, Florida. His 1st wife Jackie Kitterman (Ken) of Sebastian, Florida. Loving grandfather of Heather Hempe (Matt) of Boynton Beach, Florida, Justin Loomis (Lisa) or Cape Canaveral, Florida and Crystal Patterson (Chris) of San Diego, California. Forever remembered by great grandchildren Summer Patterson and Troy Scheidegger. Dear brother of Ann (John) Leask of Hamilton, Ontario and Burt (Christine) Pearsoll of Bloomfield, Ontario. Loved uncle of Tom and Trudy Leask of Hamilton, Ontario and Ellen (Bruce) Whitehouse of Milton, Ontario, Keith (Nancy) Pearsoll of Maple, Ontario, Smith Pearsoll of Toronto, Ontario and Hart Pearsoll of Ottawa, Ontario. Great uncle of Heather and Fraser Whitehouse and Brooke, Rowan and Calvin Pearsoll. Survived as well by step-son Bruce Voris. Predeceased by his second wife Eileen Turner Voris Pearsoll. A Memorial service will be held on Saturday, September 8th, 2012 at 11:00am at the Glenwood Chapel, Glenwood Cemetery. Cremation took place at an earlier date with some of John’s ashes being spread at his favorite spot - Hollywood Beach, Florida. The remainder are to be interred in the family plot at Glenwood Cemetery following the Memorial Service. A reception is to follow at his brother Burt’s cottage, 59 Moore Lane, Salmon Point.

Pirates calm Storm in preseason clash with new rival Picton acquires netminder from Clarington Chad Ibbotson

Staff writer

not-so-stormy seas Evan Greer battles a member of the Deseronto Storm during Saturday’s 6-3 win . Picton heavily outshot the Storm who were playing their first Empire B Jr. C exhibition game. (Jason Parks/Gazette staff)

tell the whole story,” he said. “The fact that they're there, they want to make this work and be a part of the Empire is a positive for everybody involved.” Woodward said all teams are trying to put together the strongest roster possible and there are a lot of players across the Quinte region who want to play Junior C hockey. “It's making for some difficult decisions,” he said. He said he could see the Pirates and the Storm developing a natural rivalry. “It's nice to have somebody right next door that's playing in your league. It's great for travel, it's great for travel for fans from both clubs,” he said. “We're certain to build a rival with almost every team. The parity in the league has been very strong the last couple of years and the games have been very competitive. With the addition of Deseronto I think the same thing will happen and it's great.”

On Saturday the Pirates took command of the game early. The game was heated. With lots of chatter between players, fists were bound to fly and fly they did. Ultimately the Pirates outlasted the storm and, with just under 15 minutes left in the game, held a commanding 52 lead while out-shooting their opponents 41–10 to that point. Dylan Burdick (2), Riley Main, Devin McCann, Jack Davison, and Ryan Sizer scored for Picton. Woodward said the Deseronto goaltender performed well while adding that his team could have been better. “Our guys came out and I thought they were a little bit sloppy in the first period — we didn't necessarily had our legs underneath us,” said Woodward. “We're looking at the big picture and how we're playing and how we're executing rather than how many goals we score or don't score.”

Whitepine grabs first win over Terra Vista in fastball final masterful pitching performance from Whitepine hurler Jamie Thompson. Thompson had 13 strikeouts while surrendering a single run. On the other side of the pitching rubber, Dale Dowdell had 15 strikeouts but was roughed up for four runs. Brian Woodcock and Joe Brant led the way

With the addition of the Deseronto Storm to the Empire B Junior C Hockey League the Picton Pirates have themselves a new geographical rival. While it's true Empire teams develop rivalries because of the frequency at which they meet — clubs played each other 10 times in the regular season last year — the proximity of the two fan bases certainly encourages spectators to make the trip to opposing buildings. The teams met for the first time in preseason action over the weekend with Picton taking the contest 6–3. They will meeting again tomorrow night in the Deseronto Community Recreation Centre and then again in eight regular season contests. Although Saturday's exhibition contest wasn't close, Pirates coach and general manager Ryan Woodward said he doesn't expect that to be the case in the regular season. “It's great that we have a sixth team in the league. It's too early to tell how strong any team is going to be at this point,” he said. He said an additional team will be a positive not just for Deseronto, but for the entire league. Woodward said each team is giving ice time to lots of different players, mixing up lines and working on systems and that makes it harder to gauge the strength of individual clubs. “Results don't necessarily

Woodward said he's not sure what to expect out of the Storm on their own ice tomorrow, but he said there is sure to be a lot of excitement around the team joining the Empire. “I'm sure the players will be motivated to have a strong performance,” he said. He said the Pirates will dress a significantly different lineup this time around. “As every exhibition game passes players need to elevate and get stronger and show me why they're going to stay,” Woodward said. The club also announced the acquisition of 19-year-old goaltender Adam Wood from the Clarington Eagles Junior C club. The 6-foot-four veteran started all of Clarington's playoff games last season during their run to the Central League championship and provincial quarterfinal of the Schmalz Cup. Woodward said it was established among staff early on that the club needed a veteran presence in goal. “Adam has just that. He has experience at the Junior A level and he's had a few games in the OHL. This kid is a junior guy, he understands what it takes to win hockey games,” he said. “We expect him to come here and show some poise and control in the net and stop pucks.” He said Wood brings intangibles such as being able to slow the game down and act as a calming presence for young players. “We're going to have some young guys on the blue line and some young guys up front. When you have a veteran goaltender he can slow the game down and take some pressure off of the guys on the back end,” Woodward said.

ASK A  MASTER  GARDENER SANDY GORANSON

presence of the required disease. Neither problem is likely to have turned up this summer as drought has caused water restrictions to both well and municipal water usage thus limiting most garden watering. Even dew has bee scarce. While they can also be vulnerable to a number of the standard garden pests such as aphids and Japanese beetles, they are grown widely because they rarely succumb totally as long as they are planted in well drained soil with adequate space. In fact they can generally cope and even flourish with less than ideal conditions such as clay soils. Thus it was surprising to learn that they have acquired a serious pest. The indicators are a blacker tip to the cone with perhaps some fine web like material visible as well and a worm or worms

among the seeds in the cone. Some descriptions of the worm vary, which makes identification harder. Further sleuthing found that this pest is not new to Ontario gardens and there are reports on the Internet of these pests in coneflowers going back to at least 2010. Finally an article from the Manitoba government revealed that there are at least two possible pests, the sunflower moth and the banded sunflower moth. Amusingly enough while the common names are similar and as well their larvae feeding habits these two moths and their larvae come from the same order Lepidoptera but not even the same family. The larvae or worms while similar in size go through slightly different colour changes. The banded sunflower moth is not reported as leaving web like deposits on the cone. Their reproduction rates are rapid, thirty days or less according to various sources. They are found, as the name indicates, in sunflowers, and other similar ornamentals coming in this case from the same genus and family. They are named for the sunflower as it is grown as a crop for the seeds. These larvae can cause serious damage to the seeds making them impossible to harvest if left untreated. Two of their other targets are both called coneflowers one being Echinacea, already mentioned, and the other Rudbeckia also known as black eyed susan. It is thus incumbent on the gardener locating these

WELL DRILLING

pests to dispose of them as quickly as possible. The flower heads and stems should be removed but also any ground litter. These should be placed in a plastic bag and destroyed in some fashion. They should never be composted. Blackening cone tips with or without webbing, even if you cannot locate the worms, can be a sufficient indicator to proceed with this process. Larvae, in the earlier stages can be less than a millimeter in length. Given that larvae can overwinter in the soil, dichotomous earth or ground egg shells can be sprinkled around the affected plants now and in the early spring. Remember that these plants are very attractive to bees, and if you want to treat the flower heads next summer do it late in the day when the bees have disappeared for the night and use a product that is bee friendly where possible. Removing the flower heads and stems as soon as you notice any symptoms is preferable. When I took a close look at my cone heads there were definitely blackened but I could find neither webs nor worms. The darkening cones might just be the results of drought but to be on the safe side I removed the flower heads, stems and litter and disposed of them carefully. Giving that the predictions are for another warm winter, our unexpected pests this year may be joined by others in the spring. Garden

clean ups, particularly in areas where there have been problems this year, are going to be extra important in reducing problems next year. Unless our drought departs for awhile, burning the offending litter from areas where there have been pests or diseases will not be an option. Taking the litter to the dump or putting it out with the garbage or digging a hole and burying it, if you

There have been reports from other parts of Southern Ontario that coneflowers (Echinacea) have unusually blackened tips on the flower’s cone, and looking out at my drought ridden garden, my coneflowers were also looking very bleak and the cones appeared more blackened. Given that pests I have never seen before have turned up in my garden and other gardens in the County and elsewhere this year, I immediately went on the alert. Our warm winter apparently did not kill off the usual number of pests. Coneflowers are one of the plants recommended for dry areas. They are a North American wild flower which grows in the prairies, which are also considered a potential drought area. In the wild they are largely impervious to pest and diseases. Some species of coneflower are grown as a source of echinacea, an herbal medicine currently in declining use. Echinacea purpurea and its hybrids are found in many Canadian gardens. The original form, as the name suggests, has purple flowers. They can grow as much as a meter or more (40 inches plus) in height. The hybrids come in a wide range of colours and heights. Some other species of these wild flowers are also sold by nurseries but less commonly. One of the problems they can suffer from are stem rot from too much water and also mildew on the leaves as a result of overly moist and crowded conditions and the
