VOLUME 182, NO. 39

Council has declared theheritage and protectedproperties assessments con-ducted by Stantec Consult-ing Ltd. for the White PinesWind Project incompleteand has taken a clear stanceof non-support for the proj-ect.

Council voted Tuesdaynot to support the projectand passed a motion thatwill be forwarded to theprovince saying the munic-ipality will not submit itscomplete list of municipalconsultation commentsuntil the revised reports arereceived from Stantec afterwhich council reserves theright to make further com-ments.

The comments wouldhave included what havebecome council's standardcomments on large-scalewind energy projects – call-ing for cost recovery provi-sions, traffic managementplans and regular pay-

ments to the municipality –however, staff said the mu-nicipality would not be ableto provide their completecomments without com-plete and accurate reportsfrom the consultant.

Engineering, develop-ment and works commis-sioner Robert McAuley saidthe municipality was in-formed of the inaccuraciesin the reports by the her-itage advisory committee.

“What we're saying isour review is not complete.We believe that documenta-tion is incomplete and inac-curate and they have torevise that document beforewe can give complete con-sultation consideration,”McAuley said. “Until Stan-tec does give that informa-tion we consider the reviewdocuments to be incom-plete.”

McAuley said uponhearing of the inaccuraciesthe municipality conductedits own inspection of theStantec heritage report and

conclude that the reportswere indeed incomplete.

“Until that problem isresolved we are telling theministry we are not closingthe book on comments be-cause a very importantpiece of the puzzle has notbeen examined properly,”he said.

While council ultimatelyvoted to include a clausestating its stance against theproject, it came as anamendment after councilheard from several mem-bers of the community.

Alliance to ProtectPrince Edward Countypresident Gord Gibbonssaid council had two op-tions to take a strongerstand against wind energyprojects. He said councilcould have considered re-questing a moratorium onwind energy projects or, asthey ultimately did, couldoutright say they did notsupport the White PinesProject.

“Despite the Green En-

ergy Act, council continuesto have a responsibility torepresent the views ofPrince Edward County citi-zens,” Gibbons said. “Anumber of councils else-where have used municipalconsultation as an opportu-nity to direct their dissatis-faction with current energypolicies and regulations.They speak out wheneverthey can.”

Gibbons said the motionwas in keeping with coun-cil's earlier motions not tosupport industrial windturbine projects in thecounty.

Orville Walsh, speakingon behalf of the CountyCoalition for Safe and Ap-propriate Green Energy(CCSAGE), also urgedcouncil to take a stanceagainst the development.

Walsh said the twomajor concerns with theproject were it's potentialnegative impact on humanhealth and potential impacton the environment.

“I think I can say with avery great degree of confi-dence that many people inthe southern part of thecounty do not want to bepart of this experiment,” hesaid. “Until the health is-sues can be satisfactorily re-solved CCSAGE believesthat wind turbines of thisproposed size at a mini-mum should be located atleast two kilometres from ahome or business.”

McAuley said it was notknown when Stantecwould come forward withrevised reports and said theconsultant would likely bedealing with the provinceas there is no requirementto submit the reports to themunicipality.

“We don't know themanner at which that re-port will come back. Stantechave indicated they wouldprovide it to us, but frommy information they arenot under an apparent obli-gation to do that,” he said.

MOUNTIES IN MOTION

Members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police were in Picton this week to perform two sessions of the Musical Ride. The events were presented by thePrince Edward Yacht Club Junior Sailing School in conjunction with the Prince Edward Agricultural Society and Wellington Rescue Coast Guard Auxiliary..During Tuesday morning’s show, one RCMP officer fell off his mount and was taken to Picton hospital for treatment. Despite the accident, the RCMP stillput on a great show and left an overflow crowd cheering following their routine. (Adam Bramburger/Gazette staff)

Could Prince EdwardCounty residents travellinginto Belleville via Hwy 62find themselves dippinginto their pockets to pay atoll?

It may be a long way off,but the City of Belleville is indesperate need of repairingor replacing the CPR bridgeon Bay Bridge Road justsouth of Dundas Street andone of the options availableto the city would be to payfor the estimated $7-10 mil-lion project through tolls.

City council on Mondayapproved a motion to spend$157,917.50 for a detaileddesign of a replacementbridge that shuttles trafficover the railway tracks.

Councillor Taso Christo-pher said the bridge hasbeen on Belleville's engi-neering and public workscommittee for a number ofyears.

“We have a bridge assetprogram and the CPRbridge is at the top of thelist,” he told the Gazette Tues-day. I've been underneath itwith some engineers andthere is some crumblinggoing on.”

While it may not be upfor debate that the bridgeneeds to be replaced, exactlywho will pay for a newbridge will be.

Christopher saidBelleville Mayor Neil Ellisand senior staff have spokento the Ministry of Trans-portation about using gastax funding combined with

new infrastructure fundingfor the project but have yetto get a positive response.

Christopher believes theproject should fall under theConnecting Link program.In that program, bridgesand roads that connect mu-nicipalities are funded inthree parts — the municipal-ities and the province splitthe cost.

“Either way, when thisproject goes forward, we aregoing to need assistance,”The possibility of a toll oper-ation to pay for the project isan option Christopher maysupport if the city can't getanywhere with the province.

The Thurlow ward repre-sentative said magazinesdedicated to municipal deal-ings have found through in-dependent studies endorsedby engineers and econo-mists that, for infrastructureprojects, tolls may have to berevisited because of thegrowing expenses.

“You can't keep going tothe taxpayer of the day, it'snot sustainable...you have tolook at different options andavenues,”he added.

In addition to the designwork being undertaken, anenvironmental assessmentat a site to the immediateeast of the current bridge isbeing ordered and trafficflow studies are the nextitem to be completed.

The exact numbers areunknown, but thousands ofPrince Edward County resi-dents travel across thebridge every day to attendschool, work and shop in theFriendly City.

Prince Edward CountyMayor Peter Mertens de-clined to comment on thematter.

Jim and Marion Hughes canreadily name off a host ofbenefits to the super spindleplanting of gala apples theystarted on their Waupoos or-chard in 2001.

They claim the plantinghas led to earlier production,higher-quality fruit, and easeof management. Earlier thismonth, they could add an-other benefit, one that provesthere was something to thescience.

On Sept. 14, the Hughestraveled to Peterborough tocollect a $5,000 prize as a re-gional recipient of the Pre-mier’s Award for Agri-FoodInnovation Excellence.

As a member of the Inter-national Fruit Tree Associa-tion, Jim had the opportunityto visit orchards around theworld and bring back someof the best practices he sawand one of those was high-density planting.

“In Europe, especially, thecost of land is very high andit is limited,” he said. “Theywere forced into some ofthese higher density plant-ings before we were inCanada.”

Hughes noticed thatmany growers in Europewere using dwarf root stockand training trees to growtaller and in a narrowerspace, simply cutting off thelateral branches.

The super spindle pattern,which was first tried in Ger-many and Switzerland, fea-tures trees maintained at aheight of 11.5 feet and spaced

tightly together. In spring 2001, Hughes

planted a high-density galaorchard, featuring 2,180 treesper acre, spaced 10’ x 2’ andsupported by four wire trel-lises. He also planted roses atthe end of each row of trees toact as an early indicator ofdiseases affecting the trees.

“This was, arguably, thefirst such planting in On-tario,’ he said. “My visionwas for 1,000 bushels to theacre when in full produc-tion.”

About four years afterplanting, the orchard sur-

passed that total in yield.Marion added that be-

cause the trees are in such aconfined area, she and Jimhave also been able to domore to help the apples astheir drip irrigation system isspread over a confined spaceand is still cost effective intimes of drought. They’vealso been able to run lines ofreflective material the length

of the rows, which allows thebottoms of the apples toripen, raising the sugar con-tent and making the applesmore desirable.

As pioneers in such plant-ings, the Hughes have hadmany packers and growersvisit their business, The Blue-berry Patch, to learn aboutthe technology.

“It’s become the standardnow,” said Hughes. “The sys-tem was recognized by somepretty good growers andpackers in the province whohad visited our site. We al-ways accommodate them.”

While it doesn’t reallyapply to their own orchard,Marion said since the superspindle plantings typicallytake fewer years to producefruit, larger growers can oftenchange crop quickly to keepup with market demand forcertain varieties of apples.

The couple supplies freshmarket apples for theLoblaw chains as well aslocal farm markets in thecounty and in neighbouringcities. Hughes said he’s beenasked by several packers toconsider upping his ownyields due to quality, but hehas resisted.

A dozen hockey bags packedwith skates, shin pads,hockey socks and otherhockey equipment are allpacked and ready to go to asmall costal community inNunavut.A local women and her

partner who has once lived inthe northern territory ac-cepted donations of new andused child's hockey equip-ment for use in the isolatedcommunity of Coral Harbouron Saturday and the outpour-ing by local hockey parentswas “tremendous.” Natalie Babcock, who

owns and operates Aspen's -APet Grooming Place in Picton,spent a year living in the com-munity with her partner KyleWood, a former conservationofficer with the Territory's De-partment of Environment, in2009 and said the donationscollected this past weekendwere much appreciated.“It was great to work with

the Prince Edward CountyMinor Hockey Associationand we managed to get somegreat gear for the kids of CoralHarbour,” she said.It was during her time in

the north when Babcock sawa love of the great frozengame amongst the inuityouth.“Hockey is so huge there,”

Babcock said. “In the winter, if

kids don't have skates, theyare playing hockey in thestreet in their boots.”Of the population of 800 or

so, 400 are youth and Babcockfigures the majority playhockey.“And if it's not organized,

almost all them have ahockey stick and are shootinga puck or a ball around,” sheadded.But getting hockey equip-

ment isn't as easy as headingto your local sporting goodsstore.Hockey equipment, like

most other non-necessities,need to be ordered and flownin via commercial jet, mean-ing most kids don't even getthe opportunity to put on apair of skates and glide acrossthe ice.With this in mind, Bab-

cock, Wood (both Wawa, On-tario natives) and Coral

Harbour man Noel Kaludjakstarted the Nunavut HockeyEquipment Drive, an initia-tive to help outfit the youth ofCoral Harbour with the gearneeded for the sport they loveso much.“Most of the parents don't

have credit cards or even abank account so buyinghockey gear online isn't anoption,” Babcock said. “Ontop of that, the huge shippingcosts make things extrapricy.”For example, a one way

ticket from Ottawa to CoralHarbour on Tuesday wasbeing sold at $1,875.This is where First Air, The

Airline of the North, haspicked up a huge assist.First Air is offering the

program free shipping to en-sure the gear get into thehands of the youth of CoralHarbour in time for the firstpuck drop of the season.“We could not do this

without the generosity of FirstAir,” Babcock added.In addition to physical ac-

tivity, the sport brings an op-portunity for much neededsocial interaction.“It gives the children

something to do in a commu-nity where there's not a lot ofthings to do,” Babcock said.The community of Coral

Harbour has an arena andjust recently installed an arti-ficial ice maker, meaning thehockey season is starting ear-lier then normal.Babcock mentioned the

initiative would take lastminute donations and theprogram is also taking dona-tions of adult equipment foruse by coaches in the minorhockey association.For more information on

the program and how to do-nate, visit www.helpingkid-splayhockey.com.

Social Notes

The proponents of CountyFM continue to wait for theCanadian Radio-TelevisionTelecommunications Com-mission (CRTC) and Indus-try Canada to review theirlicence applications to op-erate a public radio stationin the county.Board chair Treat Hull

told the Picton Rotary Clublast week that engineershave found a signal at 92.3FM that will reach the en-tire county to transmit itsprogramming, but not sig-nificantly spill into theBelleville market, which isalready highly saturated."Our aim is to build

something that will con-tribute to uniting the wholeof the county. We thoughtthat it would be absolutelyvital to have a signal to bereceived in every ward," hesaid. "It would be a disasterif it was only receivedsouth of County Rd. 1."The tower is near Sand-

banks Provincial Park andit has 3,000 watts of power.Hull said that engineerswith the station were ableto demonstrate it doesn't gointo Belleville, which con-vinced commercial broad-casters StarboardCommunications andQuinte Broadcasting to filejointly in support of thepublic radio station's appli-cation. Of course, thosemoves came amid rumoursin the trade another com-mercial operator may takea shot at getting on the dial,which would definitely beviewed as a negative by ex-isting radio stations.Hull said that was also a

factor in the public stationmoving forward this sum-mer."Given it is the only fre-

quency available, we werein a big hurry. The tradegossip was that a commer-cial operator would take arun at it," he said.He indicated there is

also a Mohawk station nowrunning on about the samefrequency that presentlyhas the capacity to be heardin South Marysburgh. In a follow up press re-

lease, Hull noted that whenCounty FM applied for itslicence, the station, KWEwas transmitting as a lowerpower station on a differ-ent frequency, but sincelate July, it has increased itsreach. He said as far asCounty FM can tell, theMohawk broadcaster is op-erating without a licence.Hull told Rotarians

County FM does not intendto impact that station, butrather it has applied for aband where a licence isavailable."We have no argument

with KWE.The responsibil-ity for allocating airwaveslies to two regulators and itwill be up to them," hesaid. "From our perspec-tive, our challenge is to geta community radio stationon the air, not to do any-thing to anybody else."After finding a signal,

Hull said another chal-lenge the group will face isto find studio space. Hesaid after a lengthy discus-sion which examinedBloomfield and Welling-ton, the board decided thatits studio space would beideally placed in Picton."We decided the centre

of the county is Picton andour intention is to have a

studio in Picton. We'vedone a realistic assessmentof the marketplace and wehave our eye on four or fivelocations. Ideally it wouldbe on or close to MainStreet with a storefront fa-cility."Hull said the station will

not be doing any majorfundraising until it hearsback from its regulators, astep that could come be-tween six and 18 weeksfrom the filing of its appli-cation.Then, in short order, the

station would have to raise$150,000 for transmittingequipment, hire a stationmanager (its lone paid po-sition), and train the 90 vol-unteers expected to keepthe station on air between16 and 18 hours a daythroughout the week. Op-erating costs are also antic-ipated to be in theneighbourhood of $110,000per year."You don't just go to Ikea

and put a station together,"Hull said, adding he ex-pects the capital funding tocome from a variety ofsources, through member-ships and fundraisers, andthrough on-air donation re-quests and advertising inthe future. Now, however,it is a waiting game."We won't be doing any

significant fundraisinguntil the time we get our li-cence. We believe we havea very strong case," he said."We want to be going topeople with an ironcladcase, if you're donating,you can be confident thisthing is going ahead."Once the station is up,

Hull said its board is plan-ning to showcase emergingartists and offer countynews and views that could-n't be found on commercialbroadcasters."It's the stories we tell

about one another," saidHull. "Some of our news

will be one cut above gos-sip and two cuts below aPulitzer Prize, but in a realcommunity, there's evensome place for gossip ingood taste."Hull said he envisions

the station as a good wayto build community to-getherness and foster eco-nomic development byreaching an exclusive audi-ence. He indicated the best

way to help the effort tomake the station reality isto join the 250 who havepurchased $10 member-ships in the venture.

What I like most about FerrisProvincial Park has to be itsstone fences. They identifyfields once cleared by earlypioneers, now consumed byvines, shrubs and trees. Theyappear from seemingly out ofnowhere, crossing the camp-grounds and melting into theforest of this 500-acre park atthe edge of Campbellford.One even crosses a hikingtrail, high on a drumlin.Another stone wall near a

playground area has been re-built, so even and expertlycrafted as though smoothedwith a trowel. It is just one ofmany projects undertaken bythe Friends of Ferris, this onein conjunction with the DryStone Wall Association ofCanada who ran a specialhands-on dry stone wallingworkshop earlier this month.A network of stone walls es-timated to total at least sixkilometres crisscross this areaof beautiful rolling farmland,now considered the acme ofanyone’s visit to this park.My wife and I camped

there for several days earlythis month and hiked almostall the six kilometres of hik-ing trails. Conveniently lo-cated at the edge ofCampbellford, we found atleast four side trails that ledto a few of the town’s streets,providing easy access for thelocal residents. The most fa-mous of these, of course, isthe Ranney Gorge Suspen-sion Bridge which drapesacross the Trent River at adizzying height.

The bridge is only eightyears old and was built by the8th Wing Military CFB Tren-ton Engineers with financialsupport from numerous or-ganizations. Whenever I leadguided hikes across thisbridge, I always pause in themiddle of the bridge, as itshudders and rocks gentlyback and forth, and enjoy an-nouncing that this was thefirst such project the engineershad ever attempted. The contributions of the

Friends can be found every-where in this historic park,from the installation of trailmarkers and benches, pur-chase and installation of play-ground equipment and theconstruction of an enormouspicnic shelter in partnershipwith the Campbellford RotaryClub. It was only a few years ago

when, upon hearing that I

would be there with about 30hikers, that the Friends ar-rived en masse and organizeda barbecue for us and led aguided hike. I have returned every year

to set up our travel trailer atthe park’s campground andspend several days exploringother projects the Friendshave undertaken since ourlast visit.For us on this trip, it was

the trails we wanted to ex-plore – all of them, if wecould. We set out early onemorning at sunrise, and tack-led the drumlin trails that tra-verse this scenic portion of thepark over hills and throughrich woodlands, scaring upruffed grouse and enjoyingthe late season whistles fromwood pewees and even therobin-like songs from a red-eyed vireo. Its imperfect deliv-ery suggested a juvenile bird.Along one of the trails, a lonethrush appeared for a mo-ment, but not long enough topin an identity on it. Along the way, we met nu-

merous hikers all being led bytheir dogs, regulars we weretold. It was encouraging to seethis kind of daily activityalong these well groomed andcared for trails.A regular for us on our vis-

its is the River Gorge Trail thatruns along the fenced edge ofthe Trent River and loops itsway around within a stone’sthrow of the campground.Even the campground roadsare a delight to walk with oneof them passing through a re-

built stone wall and network-ing through deciduous andconiferous growths. Thecampers on this visit werefriendly and often dropped infor a visit. Some were passingthrough, on their way to otherdestinations. Others, like us,were content to stay for aweek. One party was fromTrenton, and there were twoothers from Napanee. We feltlike we already knew eachother.It is not a terribly busy

park, and that’s what makes itso special. It is a good place torelax for a few days in the falland reconnect. The park staffseemed to go out of their wayto ensure everyone washappy. One camper who hadpre-registered arrived afterthe office had closed for theday, and was assured by apark warden that she wouldprocess her permits and de-liver them to her site later thatday.If there was a complaint to

be had at all, it was that ourholiday ended much too soon.Somehow though we didmanage to work in the cheesefactory and the Campbellfordchocolate outlet!

IF some people in Toronto have their way, therecould be a new type of segregation making its wayinto high schools as some have called for a schoolthat is centered entirely on the gay, lesbian, bisexualand transgendered community. That comes on the heels of decisions in that city to

start an Africentric program in schools, which wouldseem to go right back to segregation of schools basedon race, rather than on a student’s interests, aptitude,or merit.While it is likely the proponents of such schools

see them as an opportunity for students to be morecomfortable, surrounded by people they believe tobe safe or understanding, one can’t help but thinkthat such segregation is missing the mark onseveral levels. For one, schools are not intended to be isolated

bubbles from the rest of the world — there are differ-ent people in the world and some time, youth aregoing to have to learn to find ways to cope with theworld around them and to live with and accept thosedifferences. Building walls to shelter a particularrace, creed, or orientation only leads further to an “usversus them” dynamic and an uncomfortable dividein communities that need to come together.Also, labels aren’t as easily measured as one might

believe. People who share the same race or the samesexual orientation are still different people in manyways and they can still have their differences.These schools wouldn’t shield students from vio-lence, nor would they shield them from bullying orstigma... it’s just a different place to be with peoplewho may somehow identify the same as each other.To top it off, taxpayers’ money would likely be pay-ing for these exclusive schools and to transport youthdistances to ensure they’re able to study under sucha model.It seems odd that a province that was willing to

fight to ensure that its publicly-funded RomanCatholic school system allowed what it believed tobe more inclusive gay-straight alliances would con-sider starting new schools that would somehow min-imize the notion that all students are able to attendclasses and feel comfortable within its walls. Whatwould happen if a straight student decided he or shewanted to go to the GLBT school because it hadnewer equipment or better teachers in a given subjectarea? How about if a white student wanted to go tothe Africentered school? Would they be welcomedwith open arms, or would that harm the very con-cept the proponents of those schools are trying tobring forward?It is possible that schools can be a place where all peo-

ple can be welcomed and a place where people can prayto whomever they want, associate with whomever theychoose, and still feel comfortable. That starts with lead-ership, understanding, and education about differencesand it likely will not happen if everyone thinks they’rebest traveling the easy street to their perceived places ofleast resistance.

My wife and I have travelleda lot throughout North Amer-ica and Europe. And we bothlike harbours. There's some-thing magical about a har-bour, especially at dawn anddusk.

Picton has one of theloveliest harbours on the con-tinent! You local Pictoniteshave obviously no idea justhow unusually pretty it is. Orthat for every sailor who ties

their boat to one of the docks,a thousand tourists wouldlike to look at the scene andsigh, heavily, just for thebeauty.

You need a harbour touristcommittee, at the minimum.Some group dedicated to im-proving the waterscape (notthe whole harbour; just thephoto view from the end).Picton harbour is the star inthe crown of Picton's attrac-

tions.The condos on the north

side of the water suit the placereasonably well, which is apleasant surprise.

On the south side, I waspleased to discover that theold motel had been removed.But its replacement isn't a lotbetter! Cripes; the backside ofa functional building. I guessit's there, now, and there's nota lot to be done about it.

But the harbour touristcommittee should start itswork by planting trees andvines to hide the building onthe south side. Later, perhaps,it could consider adding afew statuary artworks byPrince Edward Countyartists, but first start by hidingthat building.

Those with an interest in AlPurdy, often referred to asCanada’s unofficial poet lau-reate, will want to drop bythe Ameliasburgh branch ofthe library and view the artpiece created in his honour.

Artist James Walke devel-oped a keen interest at ayoung age in the works of AlPurdy and has paid homageto the literary icon with a re-markable sculpture. Thepiece is a cast cement fonduebust mounted on a steel rodset in concrete.

It weighs approximately25 kilos and is flawlessly fin-ished in black acrylic paint.The precisely defined like-ness captures the high fore-head, thoughtful expression,and distinct Purdy gaze per-fectly.

The bust began its lifeduring the late winter of 2009after a failed first attempt inthe artist’s then unheatedstudio.

“I had to move the entireoperation inside mycramped basement as thestudio never achieved any-thing like a consistent tem-perature for curing,”explains Walke.

“Once completed,” headds, ”I felt the piece neededa home.”

Finding the right hometook a few years, but, thispast summer Walke con-tacted the library and gener-ously offered to donate hiswork to the Al Purdy branchof the County of Prince Ed-ward Public Library andArchives.

“It was with great pleas-ure that the library receivedthe bust,” said Library CEOBarbara Sweet. “It truly addssomething significant to thebranch and to the Al Purdydisplay.”

The Ameliasburgh branchsimilarly holds an importantplace in the village and it iswhere many in the commu-nity borrow books and mate-rials, and attend programs.The Purdy sculpture isprominently displayed sothat it can be viewed and ap-preciated by all.

Another important build-ing in the village is the TownHall. Sweet has been attend-ing meetings of the TownHall Working Group, collab-orating and supporting theefforts of the volunteers thatare both improving the halland organizing activities.

To that end, the library,along with the Museumsand other groups will be in-volved in a special Christ-mas in the Village event onDec. 8.

The library has also beenpresenting movies at theTown Hall over the summermonths for children and willnow begin offering monthlyadult movies on the firstTuesday of the month. OnOct. 2 at 6 p.m., a screeningof Extremely Loud and In-credibly Close will be shown.Admittance is free and therewill be snacks for sale.

The Town Hall WorkingGroup has been organizing anumber of other activities atthe hall as well.

Every Wednesday at 7:30p.m., there is Zumba offered.Tai Chi is on Tuesdays at 2p.m., knitting at 2p.m. onWednesdays, and Yoga everyFriday at 1 p.m.

On the last Monday ofevery month, the GardenClub meets. For more infor-mation on the garden club,contact the club presidentCindy Donafeld at 613-969-9069.

All other inquiries regard-ing the Town Hall WorkingGroup programs should bedirected to Nancy Wood at613-969-8228.

Any inquiries or ideas re-lating to library programs, orsuggestions for courses orworkshops the communitywould like the library topresent, can be directed toBarbara Sweet at 613-476-5962 or by e-mail at:[email protected]

The Friends of theAmeliasburgh and Conseconlibrary branches will be atthe Ameliasburgh Fair onSaturday, Sept. 29, sellingused books and libraryt-shirts.

“We invite everyone tostop by and learn more aboutthe many services the libraryoffers,” says Sweet, “and tooffer suggestions or maybeeven volunteer to join theFriends!”

Last week I received a re-sponse from wpd concerningmy letter of serious concernabout the devastating effectthat its proposed White Pineswind energy project willhave on Prince EdwardCounty. Like all other wpdcommunications, wpd’s re-sponse letter to me and toover 100 other county folkwas a whitewash.

It was corporate spin. It

was more of the multina-tional scam that the wind in-dustry has been perpetratingon the governments and peo-ples of many countries.

Paragraph by paragraph,wpd dismisses citizen con-cerns about the adverse ef-fects that wind factories arehaving on people and com-munities.

Legitimate worries abouthealth, wildlife, landscapes,

property values, local econ-omy, tourism, and demo-cratic rights are answeredonly by saying that wpd isfollowing the rules, that theMinistry of Natural Re-sources approves, and thatwe are free to appeal tocourts or tribunals.

This week I learned thatwpd has submitted its projectapplication to MOE. Obvi-ously, the fact that neighbour-

ing county residents voted 90per cent in opposition to theproject does not figure intothe business decisions of thisgood corporate monster, orinto the political decisions ofits partnering perpetrators inToronto who authored theGreen Energy Act.

This is democracy?

Picton needs a dedicated harbour committee

Wpd Canada, the developerof the industrial turbineproject in South Marys-burgh, has recently ex-pressed its contempt for therights and wishes of thelocal people and applied forpermission from the Min-istry of the Environment tobuild its project.

Wpd Canada and theOntario government, makeno mistake about it, knowthat this project is heartilyopposed by the majority ofthe people of South Marys-

burgh. This recent actionby wpd Canada is a reflec-tion of the cynical and dis-missive role they and thepeople currently at Queen’sPark have for all Ontarians.

Anyone who doubts thedamage industrializationdoes to a rural communityhas their heads in the sand— whether it is the localfringe group or those whohave leased their land with-out regard to the detrimentof the larger community.

It is hard to believe that

McGuinty and his devel-oper friends have not beencertain of the outcome ofthis charade from the begin-ning.

Their slight attempts toassure us that we are stillliving in something resem-bling a democracy, by pre-tending to listen to publicopinion, makes mock of ourdignity as Canadians.

And what about our ownelected officials? In SouthMarysburgh, Barb Proctorcontinues to dissemble in

troubling and inexplicableways. In Picton, PeterMertens apparently prefersto let it all drift over him.Next election, let’s try toelect a stronger council thathas some fire in it’s heartand some desire to workwith all the local volunteerswho are pulling so hard toprevent the industrializa-tion of our home..

Hospice organizations tend tofocus on the autumn years oflife, helping families appreci-ate the colour and beauty thatcomes just before the dead ofwinter.

With that in mind, a groupof individuals within PrinceEdward County thought thefall would be the perfect timeto shine the spotlight on Hos-pice Prince Edward's residen-tial hospice campaign byplanning an elaborate and el-egant gala with an AutumnLeaves theme.

Dr. Joshua Colby and hiswife Que attended similargala events in the Trenton andBelleville communities andthought something similarwould be well received here,where the momentum hasbeen steadily building to seea permanent hospice facilitybuilt. They rallied a commit-tee to form and have an-nounced a fundraising eventwill take place Nov. 17 at theWellington and District Com-munity Centre, beginningwith cocktails at 6 p.m. anddinner at 7 p.m.

As a medical professional,Colby said he sees value inthe potential facility.

"We have a lot of palliativepatients in this community. Alot of the family health teammembers are very involved inpalliative care, but the hospitalis not necessarily the mostcomfortable place for familiesand palliative patients tospend their last days to-gether," he said.

"The idea of a hospice is ahome environment, yet hav-ing good support. It is gener-ally a nice space for thepatients and their families tobe."

Hospice Prince Edwardand Picton Rotary launchedplans for the residential hos-pice facility last July. Since, theorganization declared BensonHall its proposed site and hasbeen working with Ministryof Health and Long-termCare and and South EastLocal Health Integration Net-work (SE LHIN) officials inplanning such a facility. Apublic fundraising drive hasbeen very successful, high-lighted by the Hike For Hos-pice raising over $50,000 inMay.

Colby said the committeedecided the time was right tocapitalize on that enthusiasm.

"There was a movement tostart a gala here, it almost did-n't happen this year, but thecommittee decided just to doit," he said. "We want to havea big celebration and raise alot of money for the hospiceso it can be built."

Originally, plans were tohave 300 people attending thedinner, but since it is a first-time event, that number hasbeen scaled back to 200.Colby said he still has highhopes the gala may even sur-pass the funds raised at thehike. Already, half of the tick-ets have been sold.

The event will feature afour-course meal catered bySans Souci. Que Colby addedthe caterer's executive chefGreg Sheridan has been quitegenerous with his offeringsfor the price to help supportthe hospice drive. Sheridansaid the food is in keepingwith the theme.

"What we've tried to re-flect is fall and local as well asa celebration," Sheridan said."It's a thrill to be involved.Even though we are inBelleville, we are really com-munity driven."

The Reasons, one of themost popular headline bandsin the county, has beenbooked to play, while Man-son Slik will preside over anauction with some fabulousprizes.

Colby and Dr. ElizabethChristie have provided a top-of-the-line Ontario-madekevlar canoe for auction,while the county physicianshave stuffed that canoe withhigh-end camping gear.

"All the physicians do-nated some high-end camp-ing gear so there would be acomplete package," saidJoshua Colby. "A patient of

mine donated the oars. Wehave stoves, headlamps...everything you need forcamping."

Also up for bid the aweek-long use of a private is-land for camping, a week'sstay in Beckenridge, Col-orado, a barbecue set, a com-plete county wine cave, andmore.

"We weren't sure if wewere going to get a good auc-tion put together, but it hasturned out overwhelming,"said Colby. "Communitymembers and businesseshave been overwhelminglysupportive of this project."

Colby indicated that if the200 tickets sold quickly, theorganizers would consider re-leasing extra seats, though heencouraged people not towait.

"They're going fast," hesaid. "We'd hate to see anyoneturned away.

Tickets are $150 per personand are available throughHospice Prince Edward at613-476-2181 ext. 4253. Char-itable receipts of $75 will be is-sued to those in attendance.

Hospice Prince Edwardexecutive director NancyParks said she was thrilled tosee doctors throwing supportbehind the gala.

"It's amazing and it also af-firms our project for a resi-dential hospice. It is veryneeded and the community issupporting it. it is wonderfulto have a collaboration withthe medial community."

new blood into the offices atTaste the County, the organi-zation decided a rebrand wasin order from "a celebration ofregional cuisine," to "commu-nity grown" to get back tomore of a grassroots salute tolocal producers and thecounty itself."We're now focusing on

community grown," said newTaste chief executive officerJeremiah MacKenzie. "Thisevent came from the commu-nity, this event is about whatis grown in the community.You just need to look aroundto see the people who providefor us."MacKenzie said the theme

will suggest a tradition and alifestyle, that special dinners,events, and moments canhappen anywhere with theproducts showcased at theevent."I cannot help but think

about how my grandfatherwould come back and he'dtalk about those wonderfuldinners in town halls or inbackyards and schools. Wewant to foster, promote, andpreserve that very specialsense of togetherness."The revisioning comes at a

time when Taste the Countyis changing itself as longtimeevents and sponsorship co-ordinator Grace Nyman hasmoved on to work with theCounty's community devel-opment department. Eventco-ordinator Amy WagerMayhew, operations and vol-unteer co-ordinator Lise

Rouleau, and marketing co-ordinator Melissa Larkinhave added their own cre-ative twists to keep the suc-cessful event going forward.On Saturday, the more-

than-2,000 people expected toattend the age-of-majorityevent will still be able to see alot of what they came to visitand that is the fine wines,

beer, and cider produced inthe county, pared with artisanfoods and fine cuisine fromcounty chefs.They'll be able to wade

into the kitchen to take part inthree workshops — a gluten-free baking course withPenny Morris, a Countywines seminar with NormanHardie, and a sausage-mak-

ing demonstration with chefJeremy Taft, ranging from11:15 a.m. to 2:45 p.m.Guests will also be able to

take part two new events inthe tent. At 11:30, a county pieauction will allow individualsto bid on the tastiest piesmade with local ingredientsand family recipes. There willalso be a chance to bid on athree-minute shopping spreeat Picton Sobeys valued at$500. Proceeds f will benefitthe Edith Fox Life and LossCentre."It brings it right back to a

real county fair vibe for thisyear's event," said Larkin.Then, between 2:30 and

3:30 p.m chefs Scott Royce,Matt Demille, and SteveChaves will take part inCounty Chopped, a cookingcompetition where each ofthe chefs will be given a blackbox full of county-grown in-gredients and 30 minutes toplan and prepare a one-course meal for Taste chairCynthia Peters and fellowjudges Rebecca LeHeup andKarin Desveaux.County Chopped also has

a charitable element to it asthe barbecues the three chefswill be working on are to beauctioned off to help Cana-dian Tire Jumpstart.Lastly, for Saturday, while

the food tasting is open to justticket holders, the public is in-vited to visit a large farmers'market sponsored byWaupoos Estates Winery. JimHartley, the food and bever-

age manager at the winerysaid by having the market, ithelps link the culinary fieldback to the producers quitenicely and it reminds visitorswhy the county is a culinarydestination."We felt it was very impor-

tant we get back to the basicsof what the county was in thebeginning. Without the farm-ers, we wouldn't have therestaurants we have," he said.It's also been a lucrative

event for those producers.Vicki Emlaw has been bring-ing her goods to Taste evenbefore there was a formalfarmers' market. She saideven in its early years, theTaste weekend was thebusiest of the year for herroadside stand."By introducing our prod-

ucts, if people were to tastewhat we have, we knewthey'd buy it," she said. "Wewere introducing it to peoplewho had never had it before."Tickets are available in ad-

vance for $25 plus HST and a$2 handling fee. They can bepurchased by phone at 1-866-845-6644, in person at TasteThe County's office at 289Main Street in Bloomfield, oronline at tastecelebration.ca.The event runs from 11 a.m.to p.m. at the Crystal Palace.Child care can be arrangedthrough www.pecchildcare-services.ca. A number of com-panion events have also beenscheduled and are detailedonline.

Sermon: “Peace and Hospitality”

Starting high school has al-ways been a challenge. It’s abigger place with plenty ofnew faces and new routinesto learn.

Many would say that it iseven tougher today withyoung people having togrow up quickly as society ismore progressive and socialmedia provides opportuni-ties for bullying that neverexisted before.

Staff members at PECI no-ticed that transition can be es-pecially tough for teenagegirls, so they looked to find away to help Grade 9 girlscounter that before they be-came too involved in theirnew lives.

On Monday, some 77 girlsparticipated in a retreat forthe freshmen girls at WesleyAcres.

“We have our girls all to-gether today,” said teacher-organizer CarynPhoenix-Renz. “We wantthem to get to know eachother, but we also want totalk to them about specific is-sues.”

During the morning ses-sion of the event, the girlswere separated into threebreakout groups where theywere able to meet differentresource workers associatedwith the school and ask ques-tions about their areas of ex-pertise.

Community MentalHealth Worker SharonSibthorpe talked to studentsabout the impacts of stressand bullying, while publicand sexual health nurse alsoled a session and fieldedquestions.

Phoenix-Renz indicatedthat both professionals visitPECI for office hours andthey are faces the girls canturn to if they need help.

“We want to direct themto people who can help themand have them feel comfort-able enough to ask for thathelp,” she said.

Phoenix-Renz helped leada third workshop with fellow

staff member Stacey Dun-ning on positive body imageand self esteem. They alsoworked through subjects likebullying and social media.

“We’re givng them strate-gies to work through it,” saidPhoenix-Renz.

Dunning, who has ledseveral girls’ retreats for highschool girls before, said therewas a bit more sensitivitywith some subjects giventhe age of the girls, but therewas no lack of enthusiasm.

“They’ve been very atten-tive, but when you’re 13 or 14years old, you don’t feel com-fortable asking those bigquestions in front of bigcrowds.”

She said, typically, thoseretreats for girls had beenheld toward the end of sec-ond semester, but newprincipal Darren McFar-lane encouraged his staff todo something for the Grade9s right at the start of the year.

That way, she said, theyare more familiar with oneanother and with the re-sources around them.

Dunning said she feltWesley Acres was a betterplace to host the day than in-side the gymnasium or someclasses at school.

“It gives it more of a re-treat feeling, rather thanbeing in a gymnasium. Thestudents feel more comfort-able,” she said. “I’ve always

seen it as a way of breakingdown those school walls.”

Dunning said the impor-tance of her session was inshowing the girls that por-traying good messages willattract the attention of goodpeople, while portraying badmessages will do the oppo-site.

During the afternoon, thegirls took their turns creatingvision boards — cutouts ofphotographs that illustratetheir goals and ambitions inlife — writing out “warmfuzzies” which are positivenotes about the peoplethey’ve met while on retreat,and taking yoga.

Dunning said being a vi-sual peson, she has actuallylooked back on one she’dmade several years beforeand changed it to reflect herongoing goals.

Helping the girls as rolemodels for the day were fivepeer tutors. They took an ac-tive role in facilitating the dis-cussions when their youngercounterparts weren’t carry-ing the discussions in group.

One of the peer tutors,Alicia Dayton, said she feltthe retreat would have beenuseful when she was cominginto Grade 9.

“I think a lot of Grade 9girls don't really have an ideaof who to ask or where to gettheir information from,” shesaid. “They're hungry for in-

formation. This gives theman opportunity to find outand not be judged.”

Fellow peer tutor AshleyMcInnis said she felt that“everyone seemed involvedand interested,” and wantedto learn more.

One of the participants,Raven Moore, agreed. Shesaid she learned to not beafraid to be herself and to justbe whomever she wanted tobe, regardess of what otherpeople think.

Moore indicated she’dalso likely be less quick tojudge other girls after her ex-periences at the retreat.

McInnis said she felt itwould be useful for boys toalso have a similar opportu-nity. Phoenix-Renz said thesomething like that may bein the works, but indicatedfor the purposes of Mon-day’s retreat, it was felt thegirls would be more comfort-able alone as their interac-tions with boys also doimpact how girls see them-selves.

She said she’s hopeful theschool will have revived boysand girls groups in the futureto allow students to providesupport for their peers.

Monday’s retreat wasmade possible by Ministry ofEducation Speak Out andStudent Voice funding andproduct support from Rexalland Sobeys.

On Friday, Sept. 14, thePrince Edward CountyMusic Festival commencedits ninth season “Searchingfor Beauty” with a samplingof its musical offerings, pro-vided by the New OrfordString Quartet during an in-formal evening hosted byCBC broadcaster EricFriesen. Affable and charming,

Friesen explained the histor-ical and artistic contexts ofmany of the pieces sched-uled during the Festival.On Saturday evening, the

musicians got down to seri-ous work, beginning withBrahm’s Violin Sonata in GMajor, Opus 78, performed by

artistic director StephaneLemelin and violinistJonathon Crow, currently theconcert master of the TorontoSymphony. The piecemoved from the delicacy ofthe first section through thereticence of the second, to theresolute strength of the fi-nale, and allowed Crow theopportunity to reveal a widerange of colours and dynam-ics in his instrument. In fact,this reviewer had the un-usual experience of being sotransfixed by the sound ofthe violin during the adagio,that the piano, albeit briefly,seemed to disappear alto-gether – a temporary effect,as Lemelin soon reassertedthe piano’s presence. Marjan Mozetich’s piano

quintet, Scales of Joy and Sor-row, as performed byLemelin and the New OrfordString Quartet, was built ona premise – a series of as-cending and descendingscales – that, though seem-ingly simple, plumbed pro-found emotional depths inexecution. In the beginning,the scales rose and fell byhalf-tones in prolonged se-quence, each phrase movingfrom one instrument to an-other in majestic and solemnbeauty. As the piece pro-gressed, the scales becamemore agitated and the pacequickened, the scales comingquickly in urgent upwardthrusts, the phrases from allinstruments tumbling overeach other.

The overall effect was toportray an emotional journeyfrom pain and isolation to afrenzied and joyous strivingfor union, and the third sec-tion’s return to the openingmelody had, this time, aserene and meditative qual-ity. Maestro Mozetich’s paststudies and influences in-clude the “serialist” modemade famous by PhillipGlass. Although Mozetich has

developed to a more organic,melodically-based style, hisserialist history was evidentin the quick, repeated pat-terns in the bass line, whichprovided a foundation forthe scales soaring and dip-ping above. During inter-mission, the audience

members shared descrip-tions of how profoundly thismusic had affected them. The evening drew to a

close with Sir EdwardElgar’s Piano Quintet in AMinor, Opus 84, again withLemelin and the New OrfordString Quartet, comprised ofJonathan Crow and AndrewWan, violins, Eric Nowlin,viola, and Brian Manker,cello. Although written in1918, this music seems tohearken back in style to the19th Century, particularly tothe music of Brahms. Fore-boding and somewhat mar-tial in tone, it also sang withmeditative passion in themiddle section, but was, onthe whole, somewhatsomber. Lemelin and the

NOSQ provided all the opu-lence and fervour that onecould hope for in this piece.On Sunday afternoon, the

New Orford String Quartetpresented “Chamber MusicEssentials”, the first halfcomprised of a brilliant jux-taposition of the HaydnQuartet in D Major, Opus 20,and the Quartet No. 3 of BelaBartok. Why brilliant? Be-cause the first is a model ofmathematical, architecturalprecision in 18th CenturyClassical style, the façade ofthe Palace of Versailles set tomusic. In the second, an Ex-pressionist work from 1927,the same mathematical pre-cision is evident, but it is as ifBartok had turned the musicinside out in order to exam-ine the workings, a sort of“Centre Georges Pompidou”structure translated for stringquartet. The players used atightly focused, very brilliantsound that emphasized thefirm construction of bothpieces. The second half was de-

voted to Brahms’ QuartetOpus 51, No. 1. In historicalchronology and style, thisquartet falls between the twoof the first half. Written in1873, it features the lavishmelody of the late Romanticera, and the NOSQ adjustedtheir sound to bring a richer,more lush tone from their in-struments. When the enthu-siasm of the audiencebrought them back for an en-core, they provided a musi-cal “palate-cleanser” in abubbly and exuberant sec-ond movement from the De-bussy String Quartet in GMinor that sent the blissfullisteners out into the late Sep-tember afternoon with smileson faces.On Thursday, Sept. 20, a

fully staged opera was per-formed by the young profes-sionals of JeunessesMusicales Canada. Mozart’sCosi fan tutte, a farcical plotwith love-struck maidens,dashing young men and mis-taken identity, featured someof Mozart’s most belovedarias and ensembles. Whilesome of the ensemble workwas a trifle bumpy, the youngsingers were fully up to thedemands of the opera’ssometimes fiendishly diffi-cult vocal fireworks, particu-larly soprano Vania Marganias Fiordiligi.Friday’s concert took

place in the beautiful settingof the Oeno Gallery inBloomfield, where the greatlyanticipated Penderecki Quar-tet commenced the eveningwith Beethoven’s Quartet in GMinor, Opus 18. In the composer’s sturdy

chord structures, themelodies of the four sectionswere barely contained frombreaking out into sunny, de-lighted dances, and the play-ers’ richly sonorous coloursseemed particularly suited toBeethoven’s muscular sound. The evening included De-

bussy’s Quartet in G Minorand it was interesting to com-pare the performance of thesecond section by this groupwith the one from the previ-ous weekend, where itserved as the encore for theNew Orford String Quartet.In the hands of the Pen-derecki, the music had anoverall darker, richer hue,which gave an earthiergrounding, rather than thebubbly ebullience of theNOSQ. It was as if “dawn”had become “sunset”.But the centerpiece of the

evening was Mozetich’sJuno-award winning Lamentin a Trampled Garden.

The municipality will berolling out a new corporatework culture as a part of itscorporate realignment strat-egy.

A release last week fromthe municipality says thenew corporate culture willimprove the way municipalemployees work togetherby changing managementstyles and moving toward amore collaborative ideol-ogy. The release says cus-tomer service and efficient,effective service deliverywill be the primary focus.

The new culture calls fora change in managementand staff attitudes, rolesand work style. MayorPeter Mertens said the drivefor a new culture is beinglead by staff and commis-sioners.

“They're the ones thatare doing a lot of the workwith the toolkit and thetraining programs. It's re-ally a staff-driven initia-tive,” he said. “It's givingpeople the opportunity totake training, to enhancetheir career prospects andany time you do that it cre-ates a whole different atti-tude.”

He said when staff havethe ability and authority tomake more decisions abouttheir work or projects, theirjobs become more meaning-ful.

“It adds completely tothe effectiveness and effi-ciency of the operation, butalso it enhances substan-tially the customer serviceaspect,” Mertens said.

The release said the cul-ture change would create amore self-sufficient work-force who would be more

accountable and wouldhave more ownership oftheir day-to-day responsi-bilities. The shift will besupported with necessarytraining and developmentsessions, monitoring andsupport.

The municipality has in-vited speaker and corporatetrainer Joe Sherren to assistwith the transition to thenew culture at two em-ployee development ses-sions.

Mertens said the previ-ous structure and manage-ment style were put in placeduring amalgamation whenstaff weren't very involvedin decision making.

“They certainly weren'tgiven any motivation forimproving their career pathand opportunities for build-ing on their careers,” hesaid. “They became peoplethat did things by rope in alot of cases because theydidn't see the opportunitiesfor themselves. Now we'reopening up those opportu-nities.”

The municipality willlook to encourage profes-sional developmentthrough internal programslike the Acting CAO pro-gram and newly createdEmployee Toolkit for Suc-cess program. The latterprogram saw county em-

ployees Brad Neiman, JeanAnne Carroll and PrestonParkinson work with theActing CAO group to createa toolkit to provide internaldevelopment opportunitiesfor staff. This will allow em-ployees to identify and pur-sue additional training. Adesign and budget for theprogram is expected to besubmitted for the 2013 mu-nicipal budget.

Another new initiative isthe certified building codeofficial in training programinitiated by chief buildingofficial Andy Harrison.Rather than filling a vacantposition externally, the po-sition was posted internallyand will allow the success-ful candidate to participatein a six-month internaltraining process that willprepare the employee forministry exams and to ob-tain the necessary qualifica-tions.

In addition, there will bein-house facilitated courses.

A workplace survey cir-culated to all county stafflooked to identify negativeaspects of the current cor-porate culture and wherestaff would like to be in thefuture. While the identifiedcurrent culture “is conser-vative, traditional and bu-reaucratically controlled”the survey showed staff

preferred a style that “ismanaged in a participativeand person-centred way”and includes phrases like“be spontaneous” and “re-sist conformity.”

Mertens said when aworkforce is allowed to bemore creative they “auto-matically look for ways todo the job better.”

“Sometimes they're con-cerned because in the pastmaybe they had ideas, butnobody has wanted to lis-ten to them. Instead of cre-ating and providing ideasthey don't bother any-more,” he said. “This isopening up an avenue nowfor them to bring some ofthat creativity and some oftheir great ideas to the jobsthey do every day.”

Oct 13, 14, 20, 218am-1:30pm

It's sincerely hoped the poorattendance at the GlenwoodCemetery's Veteran's DayCeremony on Saturdaymorning was due to threat-ening skies and not disinter-est or apathy.Less than two dozen peo-

ple gathered inside the ceme-tery grounds at the MaplehillVeterans Section Saturdaymorning for a special cere-mony of gratitude and re-membrance that featuredremarks from local digni-taries and speakers serving inthe Canadian Forces..Organized by the Royal

Canadian Legion Branch 78and the No.415 Wing AirForce Association and hostedby the Glenwood CemeteryBoard, the ceremony servedto honour the over 200 veter-ans that have been laid to restat Glenwood. a number thatincludes eight airmen whoperished while training at No.31 Bombing and GunnerySchool at Camp Picton duringthe Second World War.The solemn ceremony fea-

tured a parade by members

of the Legion, current mem-bers of the Canadian Forcesand the 851 Air CadetSquadron.The Last Post and Reveille

were played, Amazing Gracewas sung by Lorain Sine andprayers were offered to thememory of those that servedand those that paid the ulti-mate sacrifice in the name offreedom.In a serene setting where

heaven and earth and life anddeath were intertwined,Padre Stan Whitehousecalled on those gathered toremember.“It is in faith we commit to

remember all those souls laidto rest and it is with gratitudewe recall the service they ren-dered to the commonwealth,

our own nation and theworld generally as theysought to defend freedom,put down oppression anduphold the values we holddear and continue to em-brace,” Whitehouse said.Prince Edward County

Mayor Peter Mertens added apersonal touch in his remarks,offering thanks on behalf ofthose with Dutch heritagethat lived through Nazityranny in the 1940s beforeHolland was liberated byCanadian units serving withthe Allies.“Those of us that come

from another country and ex-perienced war are especiallygrateful to those that lost theirlives. I take this opportunityto give voice to the many peo-ple and families from Hol-land who live in PrinceEdward County and whosuffered during the war. “Most of us that were

there were liberated by Cana-dian troops so we have an es-pecially warm place in ourhearts for veterans, particu-larly those that paid the ulti-mate sacrifice,” Mertens said,adding the message of re-membrance must be passedon.“For younger ones, war is

an abstract and we must takegreater pains to ensure theyremember what has gone onbefore them,” Mertens said.Lt. Damon Perrault, Com-

manding Officer of 426 trans-port Training Squadron spokeof the British CommonwealthAir Training Program andthis regions commitment tothe plan as Trenton, De-

seronto and Picton all had airbases that prepared youngmen from the commonwealthfor ariel battle.In total, over 131,000

young men were enrolled inthe BCATP including the air-men who's remains are rest-ing at Glenwood.“Although willing to

serve, their lives were cutshort prior to graduation,”Perrault said. “Their sacrificeand contribution is not lost onus to today as we pause to re-member nor are their effortslost on today's airmen of theRCAF.

No plans for expansion

“We will always innovate, butwe have no plans for expan-ion,” Jim said when askedhow he would spend the$5,000.He and Marion admitted

their current operations,which also include straw-berry and blueberry busheswere intended as a retirementproject that took off. Now,much of the work is done bycrews featuring Jamaican sea-sonal labourers and summestudents.

“They do a lot of the hardwork and they share in thisaware. Jim and I more or lesssupervise,” Marion said.The couple, which has

seen its share of awards fromtheir own industry said it wasnice to see the province accepttheir application and providefurther recognition.Another county business,

the Carriage House Cooper-age, also received a regionalPremier’s Award this year.Watch the Gazette in upcom-ing weeks for more informa-tion on their award.

Potential Insurance issues with older homes

Every week I come acrossitems in a home that insuranceproviders flag as unacceptableor have a potential of high risk.House insurance is in tended toprotect homeowners againstmost unforeseeable circum-stances or accidents, but notpredictable or inevitable events.Given that insurance companiescontinually compile and reviewthe causes for insurance claims,they are capable of more accu-rately evaluating their risk asso-ciated with certain buildingcomponents that have a highclaim frequency. To minimize their risk, insur-

ance companies are re quiringcertain inspections or upgradesto high risk building compo-nents be completed to providehome insur ance on certain(often new) insurance policies.Their policy modifications arenot necessarily related to build -ing code changes and require-ments, or technologicaladvancements, but rather aredeveloped to reduce the risk ofinsurance companies from hav-ing to pay out on homeownerclaims. In spite of the wide range of

specific inspections and up-grade requirements, there areseveral common areas associ -ated with homeowner’s insur-

ance that concern insurancecompanies.

Aluminum Electrical Distribu tion WiringSingle strand aluminum dis-

tribution wiring was installed inmany homes between 1968 and1978 (approximately). Due toits tendency to oxidize and itsincompatibility with certain fit-tings designed for use with cop-per wiring, aluminum wiringhas been determined to over-heat in certain situations. Aslong as proper connec tions areused, and the connections aremade without damaging thewire, aluminum wiring is how-ever considered safe.For years, the presence of

aluminum wiring in a home hasbeen an item that, if installedand managed prop erly, has notbeen a safety concern. How-ever, more recently, severalinsur ance companies have beenrequiring (for new insurancepolicies) that the aluminumwiring be inspected by an ESA(Electrical Safety Authority) in-spector, and if necessary, requir-ing certain upgrades or repairsto fixtures in the home or insome cases, requiring replace-ment of the aluminum wiringwith copper wiring.60-amp Electrical Services60-amp Electrical Services

were commonly installed inhomes prior to 1950. The term

"60 amps" represents the maxi-mum amount of current that ahome may use from the localutility at one time. It is cur-rently common to in stall a 100amp electrical service (as a min-imum) in new home construc-tion. 60 amp main electrical serv-

ice is considered small bytoday’s standards; it is not in-herently consid ered an unsafesystem. However, there aretwo common safety issues oftenassociated with older, 60 ampservices. These include in-creased risk of amateurish/un-safe historic electrical repairsand improper fuse size installa-tions associated with the 60amp system; both of these itemscan cause overheating of distri-bution wiring in the home, po-tentially causing an electricalfire.Knob and Tube WiringKnob and tube wiring is

character ized by separately runhot and neutral wires, paper in-sulated wires, ceramic insula-tors and the absence of junctionboxes at wire splices. If thistype of wiring has been profes-sionally main tained since itsoriginal installation, is oftenstill a very safe system. How-ever, ungrounded conditions,improper modifications andamateurish home owner repairsof this type of wiring can leadto certain safety/fire issues; this

is the main reason why knoband tube wiring is considered ahigher risk than contemporarywiring installations.Regardless of the actual ra-

tionale for the insurance compa-nies concerns with 60 ampservices and knob and tubewiring, their mere presence in ahome is currently a commontrigger for further review/up-grades to an older electrical sys-tem. Upgrading thesecomponents often reduces theinsur ance company’s risk of anelectrical fire and subsequentclaim.

Galvanized PlumbingGalvanized supply and dis-

tribution pip ing was historicallyinstalled in homes prior to1950. These pipes commonlyrust or corrode from the insideout, of ten reducing the pressureor restricting the flow of wateror worse yet, leaking and creat-ing flood damage to a home.Given that many galvanized

pipe installations have recentlyreached their estimated life ex-pectancies, the risk of a pipeleak occurring and the poten tialfor flood damage is high. Someinsurance companies are nowrefusing to provide home-owner's insurance on houseswith this type of plumbing.

Fuel Oil TanksFuel oil tanks have been in-

stalled across Canada for

decades, although they are morecommon in eastern Canada. Inmany cases the fuel oil tanks areoriginal or greater than 20 yearsold. As fuel oil tank/distribu-tion system installations age,the probability for leakage fromrust, corrosion, dam age, etc.also increases. If a fuel oil leakoccurs and goes undetected, theenvironmental cleanup for sucha situ ation can be immense.The TSSA (Technical StandardsSafety Authority) requires allfuel oil installations be in-spected by a licensedTSSA/HVAC technician every10 years. Fuel oil distributorsmay also refuse delivery to anyresidence they feel is not incompliance with the currentregulation.Other insurance company

concerns can range from fire-places/wood stoves to roof con-ditions to asbestos. All woodburning appliances should beinspected by a WETT (WoodEnergy Technical Transfer) cer-tified inspector.Given the wide range of po-

tential concerns, it is importantfor homebuyers to verify spe-cific require ments with the in-surance company they intend touse.This article is provided by localREALTORS® and the OntarioReal Estate Association for thebenefit of consumers in the realestate market.

Revenge can be a powerfulmotivator.

After a long off-season tothink about their loss to theBayside Red Devils in lastyear's playoff quarterfinals,the PECI Senior BasketballPanthers faced their neme-sis in the Bay of Quinte sea-son opener Thursday. Theywasted little time establish-ing themselves in a 38-24win.

Trading baskets in theearly going, the Pantherswent on a 10-0 run duringthe first quarter to establisha 16-3 lead. That would beenough to keep pacethroughout the contest.

"Our last game last year,these guys beat us out andall week, our girls camewith the attitude they weregoing to get up early andkeep the pedal to the metal,"said Panthers coach RobGarden. "They executed thegame plan to perfection andan early run in any game isa huge confidence boosterthat deflates the otherteam."

At the core of the Pan-thers' start was aggressivedefensive play that resultedin a number of turnovers bythe home-court Devils and aquick transition attack. SamKuipers and Erin O'Brienwere relentless in the opencourt, while the likes ofAlyssa VanRossum and

Courtney Wilson cleanedup the boards effectively.

In some ways the Pan-thers were able to bite thebullet for their aggression astheir high team fouls num-ber put Bayside at the line ina double bonus situationearly, however the Red Dev-ils went 2-for-11 on first half

free throws. Garden wasconcerned another teammight have hurt the Pan-thers if given the same num-ber of opportunties.

"We talked about it athalftime and we made anadjustment to move our feeta little more and to antici-pate instead of reacting.

That comes with condition-ing and getting back intothe swing of things withtiming," he said, noting histeam cut its foul count tofive after the break. "Wemade a better effort in thesecond half, but I wasn'thappy with the number offouls at all."

The second half also sawa steady rotation of newGrade 11 talent onto thecourt as Garden noted histeam has depth and it isgoing to try to use all of thebodies it can in the gameplan.

"When you can rollthrough 11 or 12 girls in any

game, that's an advantage,"he said.

The Panthers got thebulk of their scoring downlow as VanRossum put up12 points and Wilson 10.O'Brien and Emily Clarkcontributed five each andMaggie Dorenberg four.Melissa Paradis also got hername on the scoresheet witha basket.

Following the win, thePanthers travelled toLaSalle Secondary School inKingston on the weekendfor a tournament againstsome of the premier teamsin their area loop. PECIended up dropping threecontests, falling 38-17 to thehost Black Knights, 34-23 tothe Sydenham Golden Ea-gles, and 32-24 to the Re-giopolis-Notre DamePanthers.

Against LaSalle, the Pan-thers saw an aggressivepressure defence and strug-gled to match the hosts' in-tensity for the first threequarters. The Panthersbrought their intensityagainst Sydenham, but hada mental breakdown againsta pressure defence late inthe second quarter as theEagles put up eight unan-swered points. PECI alsostruggled from the freethrow line, shooting 5-for-20.

Pirates come out of the gate quickly with pair of convincing victoriesPicton holds Port Hope and Napanee to each score only one goal on Wood

The Picton Pirates havekicked off their season inconvincing fashion, outscor-ing their opponents 11–2through two games.

The club started the sea-son last Thursday with a 5–1 thrashing of the Port HopePanthers and continuedtheir dominant play with a6–1 victory over the Napa-nee Raiders on Tuesdayevening.

Pirates head coach andgeneral manager RyanWoodward said he waspleased with the start, buthas urged the players totake the season one game ata time.

“The big thing this yearis we want to be consistent.We want a really hard-working team, but we want

to show up every night andgive ourselves the bestchance to win,” Woodwardsaid.

With the club giving uponly two goals while pep-pering the opposition,Woodward said there hasbeen a significant commit-ment to team defence.

“It all starts in our ownend. I've been really happywith our young group ofdefenders lead by our cap-tain Brandon Peever,” hesaid. “The guys are workinghard and they are doing agood job taking away timeand space.”

He said with a young de-fence corps there are boundto be some mistakes, buthaving veteran goaltenderAdam Wood in the cage haslimited the impact of thosemistakes.

“When young guys do

make a mistake he's there tocover up,” Woodward said.“The forwards are buying in,they're not cheating on of-fence and they're committedto taking care of the puck inour own zone. It's been lead-ing to offence and quick tran-sitions.”

On Thursday the Pirateslooked hungry right out ofthe gate.

Tim Pandachuckknocked in a loose puck atthe side of the Panthers'goal to make it 1–0 at thehalfway point on the pe-riod. Four minutes laterMitchell Smith netted apower-play marker to dou-ble the lead with Ryan Sizerand Peever getting assists.

Josh Fulford put PortHope on the board with agoal three minutes into thesecond stanza, but the Pi-rates finished the period

with a one-goal lead.Jack Davison, Smith, and

Kyle Dekeyser added goalsin the third.

“We had a lot of jump inour step and we were hardon the puck, going out andputting everything on net,”Woodward said. “Ourdepth has been key. We rollour lines — there are match-ups within the game — buteverybody plays and overthe course of 60 minutes itreally adds up.”

The story was much thesame in the club's secondgame of the week. Pictonbadly out-shot Napanee,with the final tally comingin at 50–20.

Kenny Murduff got the of-fence running with a goal at9:59 assisted by Evan Greer.desperatIon Port Hope Panthers goaltender Justin

For a hockey club in des-peration of a bounce backgame, the WellingtonDukes managed to find onein Cobourg on Mondayevening.After losing two straight

home games at the hands ofthe Newmarket Hurricanes(Friday) and Aurora Tigersrespectively (Sunday), theDukes came up with agritty road effort, toppingthe Cougars 4-3 in over-time.The win stopped a two-

game slide for Wellington(3-3-0, six points) and keepsthem within shouting dis-tance of East Division- lead-ing Kingston ,who head upthe loop with 12 pointsWins in Cobourg have

been generally hard tocome by for Wellington, es-pecially since the Cougarsmoved into their newCobourg Community Cen-tre digs but the Dukes man-aged to hang on and bagtheir second road win of theseason in dramatic fashion.“We haven't had a lot of

success in that new build-ing in Cobourg but we gotoff to a great start,”Wellington coach and gen-eral manager MartyAbrams said. “We hadsome glaring errors that letthem back into the gamebut we got some big timeplays in overtime to get usthe extra point.”For the second straight

road contest, Wellingtoncame out firing and had anearly 2-0 lead but unliketheir victory in Pickeringeight days ago, the localswere unable to maintain alead.After Josh Finkelstein

and Erick Delaurentispegged Wellington to a 2-0lead in the first 10 minutesof play, the air was slowlydeflated from the Dukes

balloon. Cougar forward Justin

Danforth cut the Wellingtonlead in half just 1:20 afterthe Delaurentis goal.The Cougars got the

only goal of the secondframe thanks to Loren Ulettat 13:13.Finally, a bad Wellington

collapse allowed Colbie An-drews to put the Cougarsback into the driver's seat at5:09 of the third.Delaurentis' second of

the game at 12:07 knottedthe game back up at 3-3 andthe game stayed tied untilovertime.In the extra session, it

was rookie blueliner BrodyMorris who jumped up inthe rush and beat Cougarnetminder Cole Mahoneytop shelf just 30 seconds in

to lift Wellington to a 4-3final.Mike Soucier delivered

the feed to Morris andAbrams said it was a spe-cial effort on both ends thatproduced the game win-ning goal.“It was a big-time play

by Soucier and it was aneven bigger play by Mor-ris,” Abrams said.The 16-year-old blue-

liner has looked calm andsteady in his first fewgames as a Duke and, ifearly returns are indicativeof future performance, theCorbyville native could bementioned with the likes offormer young Duke defen-sive standouts such as Cur-tis Leonard and Jake Heller.“Before the goal, Brody

had a great game and we

had gotten a lot of mileageon the back end out of him,Finkelstein, Kyle Paat andJacob Hetherington,”Abrams said. “He played abig part in this win, he'shad a really good start andwe think he will go on tobigger and better things.”Wellington also got off to

a solid start on Sundaynight when they hosted theTigers, however, Tiger net-minder Brett Sinclairstymied Dukes shootersearly on, especially in theopening frame when the lo-cals outshot the visitors 18-8.After a scoreless first,

Wellington would break theice in the second while aman short.Breaking in on a two-on-

one rush, Jan Kaminsky col-

lected a Craig Campbell re-bound and beat Sinclair at13:51 of the second.That lead looked safe

heading towards the sec-ond intermission but a baddefensive zone breakdownallowed Aurora's DylanWallace to bang home anequalizer with just 26 sec-onds left.In the third, former

Huntsville Otter DanielClairmont pushed theTigers ahead 2-1 at the 8:14mark with a nifty effort.Cam Nicholl would net

his first as a Duke as hepushed a loose puck overthe line at 13:11 to squarethe affair at 2-2 but MikeSones put the Tigers aheadto stay about two minuteslater when his shot from thetop of the circle after an-

other Duke defensive mis-cue beat a screened HaydenLavigne at 15:07.Dylan Sikura put a steak

through the Dukes prover-bial heart at 18:08 when hisblind shot slipped throughLavigne, making it a 4-2final in favour of Aurora.For a game that Welling-

ton held the balance of playin, especially in the openingtwo periods, not getting atleast a point was tough totake.“It was a very difficult

loss, we might have de-served a better fate but Ithought (Sinclair) played awhale of a game,” Abramssaid. In getting shut out and

out shot on home ice toNewmarket Hurricanes,there aren't too manyaround these parts thatthink Wellington deservedanything other than a lossFriday evening.After a scoreless first in

which the play was even,the Canes blew the Dukesdoors off and outshotWellington 32-11 in the final40 minutes.Andrew Pearson got the

start in the Wellington netand, despite surrendering atough goal in the secondperiod, was solid making40 saves.Had Wellington capital-

ized on a few of its offen-sive chances, the club couldhave worked its way intothe game.“I really thought we

played a strong gameagainst Hurricanes,”Abrams maintained. “Wehad some bad breaksaround our net, and nobreaks at their net and wejust couldn't bury thepuck.”After scoring four in 60

plus minutes on Monday,The Dukes will be lookingto keep the offence clickingFriday when they host theStouffville Spirit at 7:30p.m.The Dukes are on the

road to Aurora on Saturdaynight and visit the Tigercage at 7:30 p.m.

Davison made it 2–0 with agoal at 15:49 with Sizer pick-ing up an assist.Greer rubbed some salt in

the wound in the second,scoring a shorthanded goal at8:13.The Raiders were able to

get on the board with a goalby Evan Brown, but 30 sec-onds later Smith restored thethree-goal lead.Rookie defender Jacob

Panetta scored a power-playmarker to make it 5–1 beforethe end of the second andMurduff scored his second ofthe game on the power playat 8:27 of the third to bringthe game to a 6–1 final.Despite taking 10 penal-

ties the Pirates didn't give upa power-play goal whilegoing two for three on theirown power play. Despite theamount penalty minutes ac-crued in the game, Wood-ward said it wasn't cause forconcern. He said it's onething to take selfish penalties,but penalties as a result ofhard work is quite another.“We don't want to take

unnecessary penalties. Ourteam competes, they finishhard, we finished a lot of hits(on Tuesday). We protect ourgoalie and stand up for each

other,” he said.The Pirates announced

their captains for the year.Fourth-year defencemanBrandon Peever will wear theC with Greer, Sizer, BradJacklin and Davison servingas assistants.Woodward said Peever

has shown leadership withhis play on the ice as well asleading by example off it, vol-unteering for many of theclub's initiatives.“Brandon leads by exam-

ple and is well known for hiswork ethic. We have a nicemix of veteran players andyoung, highly skilled and de-termined players this year,”

Woodward said.Additionally, the club an-

nounced they have trans-ferred the rights to19-year-old forward DylanBurdick to the Port ColbornePirates Junior B Hockey Clubof the Greater Ontario JuniorB Hockey League. He said itwas a great opportunity tosend a player to the nextlevel.“Dylan has NCAA aspira-

tions and we felt this wouldbe a great exposure opportu-nity for him in Port Col-borne,” said Woodward.The Pirates face Deseronto

tonight at 7:30 at the PrinceEdward Community Centre.

PIRATES, from page 26

For the first time in its his-tory, the Prince EdwardCounty Men's FastballLeague championship tro-phy will reside off the is-land.Whitepine Watershed

crushed any hopes of a TerraVista Rockies three-peatThursday night in Pictonwith a 9-2 demolishing, win-ning the best-of-five seriesthree games to one.Whitepine took the

drama out of game fourearly when Jamie Thomp-son jacked a three-run bombin the top of the first inning.Nick Brooks also went

deep for Deseronto in thefifth inning and drove inthree of his own.For team captain Thomp-

son, the win vanquishes thememories of the past twochampionship series.In 2010, the Deseronto

based club (then called theBulldogs) blew a two-gamesto-nothing lead to the Rock-ies and looked on as TerraVista won their first

PECMFA title.Terra Vista left the drama

out of the finals in 2011,sweeping Whitepine inthree straight.And after getting down

2-0 this year, the Rockiesmight have been thinkingcomeback again untilThompson and companydashed those hopes in dom-inating fashion in game four.“The guys were excited

afterward, no question,”Thompson said. “Aftergame three, we talked aboutlosing two years in a rowand the disappointment oflosing two years in a rowbut we remained confident.”Thompson said the club

had a different attitude thisseason, both in their generalapproach and in game situ-ations.“The guys put in the

extra work this year and thechampionship is a testa-ment to that,” Thompsonsaid. “On nights there wererain outs in Picton and itwasn't raining here (Tyend-inaga), the guys would gettogether and get some extrabp in and it seemed to help.In games, members of

the club decided to changetheir approach if they werepreviously unable to findsuccess against a particular

pitcher.“Certainly if guys were

getting struck out chasingone pitch, they were willingto lay off and look for some-thing else,” he said. “Withtwo strikes, we all chokedup on the bat a little andtried to put it in play andgood two strike hitting iswhat it takes to win.”Thompson added the

squad owes a debt of grati-tude to club sponsor TerryGodsall and his companywww.whitepinewatershed.ca.In the consolation finals,

The Roblin Family Plumb-ing Copperheads took the Bchampionship in straightgames over Danford Con-tracting.After the Snakes handled

Danford's 6-2 in game one,the clubs played extra in-nings in Game 2.Down 1-0 into the top of

the seventh, Adam Smithbelted an inside the parkhome run to tie it at 1-1.Chris Roblin would

drive home the eventualgame-winning run with adouble in top of the eighthinning.In Game 3, Roblin, Ryan

Stevenson and Paul Nor-man all went deep in a 6-2Copperhead win.

The Bayside Red Devilsused size and experience toget the best of the PECI Jun-ior Panthers 59-26 Thurs-day, but the season openerwasn't a total write off forthe county squad.

"No game's a loss aslong as you learn from yourmistakes," said Pantherscoach Andrew Wentworth."Monday we get back to thegym, we learn from whatwe did this week — there'ssome small things we cantighten up on defensively— and we get ready."

Taylor Blair andMackenzie McCullough ledthe Bayside attack with 18and 10 points respectivelyon their home court as theirteam outpaced the Panthersin each quarter of the game.They opened up a 30-19lead by halftime kept oncruising forward.

Wentworth gave creditwhere it was due in thecontest, but said he'sexpecting his team willimprove as the season pro-gresses.

"Bayside is an estab-lished club. They've alwaysbeen strong, but PECI isgetting there and the nexttime we face them it will bea different matchup," hesaid.

Wentworth indicated thePanthers will be a team thatwill focus on defence pri-marily, while looking to be

a bit more aggressive offen-sively than last year's juniorteam. Veteran DanielleWillis certainly did thatduring the game as shedrove hard to the basketand put up a team-high 11points. Hannah Smith con-tributed nine, finding therange early in the game.

Wentworth said hisGrade 10 leaders led theway in the game, whileadding the young teamshowed it is capable ofadapting and followinginstruction from the coach-ing staff.

"These girls respondedto everything we said ascoaches. We've set goals infront of them and you

could see them respond,"said Wentworth. "It's smallsteps all the way, butthey're definitely takingsome strides. These girls

have a great attitude."The PECI juniors also

fell to Nicholson Tuesday.Tonght, the Panthers travelto Quinte for a 5 p.m. start.


Still, Garden chose to take apositive look on the team'sfirst tournament.

"I stressed with the girlsbefore the tournament, Ididn't care what they scoreswere, but I wanted us toimprove our execution,increase our intensity, andmake a commitment at thedefensive end of the court,"he said. "We were the onlyteam in the tournament tonot allow another team toscore over 40 points."

Going into their secondgame of the season, hostingNicholson Tuesday, thePanthers got some goodnews as Courtney Wilsonplayed through a noseinjury originally thought tokeep her out of the lineupup to two weeks. Gardeenhad been facing the idea ofmajor changes to the gameplan as fifth-year senior

Jess Palacious injured herknee at Bayside and will beout indefinitely

Instead of sitting on thesidelines, Wilson figuredprominently in a 46-27PECI win as she con-tributed 23 points alone.

“Offensively, we wereable to feature Courtneyand get her the ball at theright time in the rightspots,” Garden said.

VanRossum contributedsix points, including fourfrom the free throw line.

As in Thursday’s open-er, Garden said the Pan-thers were able to build ontheir aggressive defence asthey took a 30-7 lead intohalftime. During the sec-ond half, the Grade 11sagain soaked up a lot ofplaying time and gainedconfidence.

The Panthers will travelto Quinte tonight for a 6:30p.m. tip.

MEMORIAMS

DONALD GEORGE ANDREWSApril 10, 1923 - October 2, 2011

Dad, you were a fun-loving and genuine trustworthy person. Alover of cruises in warm seas, fine rums and aged ryes, adueling cribbage match, or taking in the sun with Faye at theisland or Delray.Born in Picton and growing up in the depression, you learnedthe value of a buck and you never forgot. Spending a few yearsin WWII taught you the value of life, and a good samaritan youwould always be. Working in the southern U.S. in your thirties,you learned about humanity itself, and you would listen beforepassing judgement. A member of the Masonic Lodge and thenthe Rotary Club, you used what little spare time you had well.On a night at the curling club, where you met and fell in lovewith Faye Gorsline, the stage was set for three boys. Buyingout your father’s paint store, you started working retail to putfood on the table for the ever-growing family. Weekends werespent down bay in our little mason or freezing our butts onJane St.Raising three sons was left in Faye’s hands while youexpanded the store and paid the bills. Retiring in ‘82, you tookup biking, cruising and warm-weather seeking with Faye. Inyour eighties, you would look forward to weekends with Greg’sfamily or mine or both and soon wonder when the house wouldbe quiet again.Faye was blessed to have you as a devoted husband, andGreg and I were lucky to have you as a father.

Missed always,The Andrews Family

The Picton Gazette

Efforts to bring a new hos-pital to Prince EdwardCounty continue to workthrough the prescribed bu-reaucratic measures.

On Tuesday at themonthly Quinte HealthCare board meeting, presi-dent and chief executive of-ficer Mary Clare Egbertsprovided a brief update ona planned 135,000 sq. ft.fully-integrated health cen-tre and hospital that wouldreplace the existing PrinceEdward County MemorialHospital.

Stage 1 of the proposalwas presented to the Min-istry of Health and Long -term Care in late May andthe plan which aims tobring a rural hospital, ac-commodations for thePrince Edward Family

Health Team and space forother community healthand wellness partners wasgreeted with support aswell as some suggested re-visions.

According to Egberts,the presentation to the cap-ital branch of the ministrywas positive but there wereconcerns the proposed facil-ity would meet all desiredefficiencies.

“We want to make surewe have the most clinicaland service efficiencies builtinto the model,” Egbertstold the Gazette.

“We are currently work-ing with the PEFHT inorder to maximize the sav-ings we can gain by work-ing together as well aslooking at square footageand there have been somereductions in that area.”

Currently, the plan callsfor 82,000 sq. Ft to be occu-pied by the new hospitaland the other 53,000 to beoccupied by the PEFHT andother partners.

Egberts expects the finaltouches on the revisions tobe made later this month.

The updated plan can besubmitted to the Ministryas soon as QHC gets its pre-capital submission ap-proved by the South EastLocal Health IntegrationNetwork

“We are still working oncompleting business casebut in the mean time wewill be in contact with theSE LHIN, reminding themwe are waiting on their ap-proval,” she said.In other QHC news:■ The hospital group re-ported an operationaldeficit as of July 31 of$975,000. QHC senior staffhad been assuming a deficitof around $515,000 to thispoint of the year, meaningthe hospital is currently car-rying a negative variance of$460,000.

The chair of the QHCaudit and resource commit-tee, John Embregts, said thehigher-than-anticipateddeficit is due in part tohigher utility costs, a slightlabour variance, lower pa-tient revenue and highermedical/surgical supplycosts.

“It's a seasonal thing- weexpect an operationaldeficit this time of year, butthis slightly higher then wewere anticipating,” he said.

The higher operatingdeficit is in spite of QHCmaking gains in several keyareas of cost overrun. SinceApril the hospital has man-aged to close four un-funded medical beds atBelleville General Hospital;has reduced the usage ofsurge beds; significantly re-duced the number of Alter-nate Level of Care patientsand decreased overtimehours (17 per cent over lastyear) and sick time hours(one per cent).

QHC is expected tograpple with the deficit bycontinuing trends on sicktime and overtime hours,reducing medical/surgicalexpenses and looking atdrug utilization opportuni-ties.■ It appears the hospitalhas gotten through thelargest drug shortage

in modern historylargely unscathed.

Doug McGregor of the

quality of patient care com-mittee said Sandoz, theworld's second largest pro-ducer of injectable drugsand fundamental supplierin of the Canadian healthsystem has come back online.

Fire and quality con-cerns from the U.S. Foodand Drug Administrationslowed production at theBoucherville, Quebec plantearlier this year but McGre-gor said the plant was backonline earlier this month.

“It does appear Sandozis starting to meet the druginventory requirements ofCanada,” he said.

Through proactive man-agement of its drug sup-plies over the past sevenmonths, QHC was able toovercome the shortage andthere was no incidents ofthe hospital being unable totreat a patient or theirsymptoms due to the short-age.

“It's thanks to a trulyoutstanding efforts by theteam at QHC that we wereable to make it through theshortage, McGregor said.

Corporationworking closelywith PEFHT to

maximize savings

The number of pupils at-tending public schools inPrince Edward and Hastingscounties are up over springprojections and the trend willlikely lead to the hiring ofnew educational staff.

Hastings and Prince Ed-ward District School Boardsuperintendent of businessservices Dave Rutherfordprovided public schoolboard trustees an elementaryand secondary student en-rollment update on Mondayevening and, for a board ha-bitually dealing with declin-ing enrollment, the numbersare pointing to a positivetrend.

While the numbers of ac-tual students in Hastings andPrince Edward DistrictSchool Board is once againdown over the past schoolyear, the drop isn't as drasticas in years past.

The number of total ele-mentary students attendingin 2012-2013 is 10,429, a dropof 14 students but an increaseof 71 over the springtimeprojection of of 10,358.

In terms of secondary stu-dents, a total of 5,590 stu-dents are attending highschools in the region this fall,a drop from 2011-2012 of 257students but an increase of 63over the projected 5,527 stu-dents.

For a system that receivesits funding from the Ministryof Education on a per-pupilbasis and uses the forecastsas part of its budget process,the enrollment update isgood news.

“We're pleased to reportthat overall enrollment isslightly higher than whathad projected in the spring,”Rutherford told trustees.“We are still in a period ofdecline, particularly in the el-ementary family however,we are starting to see somelevelling off at that level andthat's a positive sign. Thepositive news is will be de-ploying some additional staffto elementary and secondaryschools to meet the needs ofour students .”

Broken down further, pri-mary numbers are actuallygrowing as the board saw theranks of those attendingKindergarten through Grade3 increase by 66 students.This is mostly due to theramp up of the all-dayKindergarten program how-ever, the board will not re-coup the complete cost ofoffering full-day Kinder-garten at all local publicschools until 2014-2015.

This year the board has996 full-day kindergartenstudents in 38 classes a 20schools, however, the schoolboard has been capped bythe Ministry of Education.

The province is coveringthe costs of 910 students inyear three of the five-year rollout.

Rutherford said the boardis obligated to offer the pro-gram in spite of the fundingcap.

Full-day kindergarten is astaged process and the Min-istry of Education is control-ling how fast it expands,”Rutherford said. “910 stu-dents is what we get fund-ing for this year and theboard is picking up the extracosts of running the pro-gram.”

operations co-ordinatorLise Rouleau said ArabellaArt & Design Magazine ed-itor-in-chief Debra Usherwill speak at the openinggala.“She's giving a keynote

speech on community andart — how we need to sup-port it, how integral it is toa community,” she said.“It's going to be a lot of fun,we're looking forward toit.”With a plethora of arts

events taking place in thecounty throughout the year,

Rouleau said ARTrageouswould make its own iden-tity through the hands-oncomponent.“This one is different be-

cause it's interactive. Peoplethemselves get to becomethe artists, get a inner viewof what an artist does andthe work involved in it,”she said.She said the event also

extends its reach by offeringa more affordable and ac-cessible introduction to dif-ferent types of art.“It's only a one-hour

workshop so you don'thave to commit to four orfive hours in something you

may not like,” she said.“You can choose two orthree workshops in a dayand try different mediumsto see what you like. It'smore cost effective if fami-lies want to come.”While some of the work-

shops are geared towardadults, Rouleau said therewill be plenty of things foryounger visitors to do aswell. She offered the pot-tery workshop instructedby potter Tony Campbell atThe Red Barns as an exam-ple.“Red Barns is great for

that because they're family(friendly),” Rouleau said.

Artist Andrew Csafordidesigned the logo for theevent. Rouleau said organ-izers saw the logo as an op-portunity to benefit localartists and showcase theirtalent.“We wanted it to benefit

the artists in the commu-nity,” Rouleau said. “It's re-ally a marketing tool we'vebeen able to use.”Taste the County chief

executive officer JeremiahMacKenzie said art is a cor-nerstone of the county com-munity.“Inspiration runs deep

when you live in thecounty,” he said. “This

event, ARTrageous, is aboutthe men and women whocall this place home andhave dedicated their lives tocreating art.”He said the event “ap-

proaches the appreciationof beauty in a differentway.”“The event is focused on

the artists and theirprocesses. I'm confidentthat after you spend sometime learning about theircraft and their passionyou'll see art in a totally dif-ferent way,” he said.Paulette Greer of Side-

Street Gallery in Wellingtonwill be hosting an art fram-

ing workshop over theweekend. She said the AR-Trageous will be more inter-active than most county artevents. Greer said Side-Street gallery features thework of 180 artists and shewanted to hold a workshopthat would be inclusive.She said she already

does a lot of framing forartists in the Gallery rightnow and, after being ap-proached by Joanna McFar-land of Suites on the LakeStudio, decided to do aworkshop on finishing apiece of art with a frame.“That's what the work-

shop is — learning how toput it all together, what topick, what kind of mattes touse and then they actuallygo home with a finishedpiece of work they can hangon the wall,” she said. “Alot of times you do a work-shop and where does it go?It goes in a drawer, in a cup-board — you don't actuallyget to take it home andhang it on the wall. That'swhy I thought this was aninteresting idea for me.”It being the first year for

the event Greer said thereare bound to bound to be afew hiccups, but she saidshe believes it will be agreat event.“I've been involved in

the art world a long time.There are going to beglitches, but you have tostart somewhere and Ithink it's going to be a won-derful event that hopefullywill keep going on and on,”she said.ARTrageous kicks off

Friday, Oct. 5 and featuresworkshops, demonstra-tions and talks at 15 loca-tions across the county.Workshops cost $30 perperson while open gal-leries, demonstrations andart talks are free. There are75 tickets available for thepremiere party at a cost of$75.

County playwright SuzannePasternak is about to offer asneak peek at her new show,which again features storiesfrom close to home.In this work,, The County

Show... Our Legends, Folklore,and Music, Pasternak willtouch on 30 years of primaryresearch, where she collectedoral histories and archival re-search pertaining to the his-tory of Prince EdwardCounty.“I have dedicated my

body of work to bringing thehistory of Prince EdwardCounty to life on the stage,”Pasternak said. “The CountyShow is a reworking of oneof my earlier folk operas,Solomon Mouck, which pre-miered in 1992 and only hadtwo performances.”Pasternak said Mark

Despault also joined her inwriting some fantastic musicfor the show and he will beappearing as a guest artistduring the two presentationsat Black River Chapel Satur-day, Oct. 6.Despault will be joining

some very accomplishedperformers on stage as EmilyFennell and Natasha Paster-nak will return to the countyto perform. Both have hadprominent roles in pastworks by Suzanne Paster-nak.Fennell premiered the

role of Minerva and per-formed with that show from1994 up until 2003.“This is the first time since

2003 that I have had the hon-our to perform with her,”said Pasternak, who added aspooky coincidence is thatFennell is related to many ofthe historical characters por-trayed in the show.Natasha Pasternak had

the leading role with FestivalPlayers of Prince EdwardCounty for three years, firstwith Picton Papers, then laterwith her mother’s show Shipof Fire.. Pasternak said she was

thrilled both women would

Pasternak to premiere new show

A couple weeks ago I did anarticle on Bergeron EstateWinery and discussed howthey also had a thriving applecider business. This week weare visiting the County CiderCompany & Estate Winery.

This is a special place forme as my son just loves it!Whenever he visits from Ot-tawa he likes to head overthere for their cider and ofcourse I heartily agree as theyalso make some great wine!

The County Cider Com-pany & Estate Winery is afamily-operated estate win-ery specializing in hardciders (in North Americahard cider is an alcoholicdrink made from fermentedapple juice.) Carefully craftedby cidermaster and ownerGrant Howes from the bestapples grown on their familyfarm and nearby orchards,their ciders are made with100-per-cent pure apple juice.

Following the AmericanRevolution of 1776 the Town-ship of Marysburgh — hometo the County Cider Com-pany — was one of many es-tablished for the settlement ofUnited Empire Loyalists.Named in honour of PrincessMary, a daughter of KingGeorge III, it became home toa small group of disbandedGerman mercenaries underformer Lieutenant Baron vonReitzenstein. This party,numbering about 40 persons,was one of the earliest Ger-man-speaking groups to set-tle in Ontario.

By October 1784 they hadbegun to clear and cultivatethe land. Henry David andhis wife Elizabeth wereamong these early settlersand it was in 1830, that theirson Conrad David, wasgiven title to the lot, whichthe County Cider Companynow calls home.

Today, the 1832 ConradDavid House is an area land-mark. Set on the brow of theWaupoos escarpment, thestone house is an excellentexample of Regency Cottagearchitecture. It features dra-matic French doors, over-sized windows and verandaas well as a hipped roof. Nextdoor, the property's pictur-esque 1832 stone barn housesthe County Cider Com-pany’s tasting room and re-

tail store.The family farm has been

producing apples since 1850.The location near Lake On-tario

gives a moderating effecton local air temperatures andit also benefits from fertilesoil — ideal conditions forcultivating fruits of unparal-leled flavour and quality.

They grow over 15 vari-eties of apples at their two or-chards, which compriseapproximately 40 acres ofapple trees and 12 acres ofgrapes. The orchards pro-duce roughly 1,600 tonnes ofapples each year. Among thevarieties that they use to cre-ate their ciders are Bulmer'sNorman, Ida Red, Russets,Northern Spy, YarlingtonMill, Dabinett, Michelin andTremlett's Bitter. These ap-ples provide tannins andacidity — key ingredientswhen making quality cider.

In addition, they grow com-mon varieties such as Cort-land, Red and GoldenDelicious and Jersey andMarshall Mac.

Although they make sev-eral varieties their flagshipproduct is a dry sparklingcider. Fresh and crisp, like aperfectly ripe apple, it offersaromas of sweet Ida Red ap-ples and its good acidity de-livers a pleasing finish.

Their most exclusiveproduct, the award winningCounty Ice Cider, is craftedfrom Russet, Ida Red andNorthern Spy apples—vari-eties that do no fall whenripe, but remain on the treethrough freezing tempera-tures. Like grapes used tomake ice wine, it is this expo-sure to extreme conditionsthat causes the natural sug-ars within the fruit to in-crease and becomeconcentrated.

Hand-harvested in sub-zero conditions, the applesare pressed and the resultingnectar is fermented for aboutnine months. The result is anambrosial beverage prizedfor its perfect balance ofsweet and tart. Amber-hued,its taut acidity is the perfectfoil for its delicious caramelapple and crème brûléeflavours.

In recent years, theCounty Cider Company hasexpanded its production toinclude classic wine varietalssuch as Chardonnay, Pinotgris, and Pinot noir. Grownon their Waupoos and Adol-phus Reach estates, everygrape is hand-harvested andcrafted, by winemakerJenifer Dean, into wine that

embodies the area's rich ter-roir. In fact, their gravellysoils are often described as ri-valing the best in Burgundy.Their wines available forpurchase at our tasting roomand retail store.

Visitors are invited to takeadvantage of the breathtak-ing million-dollar view ofLake Ontario from theirpatio and enjoy a cold, re-freshing cider or a glass ofwine and a light lunch. Thisis definitely one of the nicestpatios to visit when out "sip-pin in the county".

And don't forget, it's notjust apple cider at CountyCider, they also have somegreatwine!

The end of active gardeningfor 2012 is in sight so wethought this could be a goodtime to talk about planningfor next year while the expe-riences of this year are stillfresh on our minds.

This is an excellent time todraw a map of your garden.While plants are still up andidentifiable, why not capturetheir location and names on agarden map? In fact, why notcapture their seeds? If youhave plants that you particu-

larly enjoy and would likemore of them, now is a greattime to take seeds for nextyear’s planting season.

It’s also nice to give seedsfrom our gardens to a gar-dening friend. A package ofseeds from your garden is athoughtful thing to tuck in toa hostess gift. Perennialseeds can be sown now justlike Mother Nature does.

Annual seeds will need tobe placed in an envelope andkept in a cool and dry place

until next spring to go intothe garden or to start inside intrays when the weather is stilltoo cool to put seeds directlyinto the ground. I always likehaving some seeds sproutingindoors in March and April.It gets me in the gardeningmood early.

As you map your gar-dens, think about what youmight move next spring andmake a note of it now. Thinkabout what plants you haveseen elsewhere and would

like to add to your gardenand make a note of those too.It’s a good time to do thischore while there isn’t a lot ofheavy work to be done andwhile our memories are stillfresh about what we likedand didn’t like about our gar-dens this year. It’s not a badidea to take some photo-graphs as well. You can tuckthe garden map and the pho-tographs into a garden jour-nal if you have one or youcan start one. Any three ringnotebook will do as a journal.It’s a good place to stashplant labels as well.

I was recently asked tolook at someone’s hy-drangeas and offer somepruning advice only to findthat the hydrangeas weren’thydrangeas at all, they wereviburnums. They had beenpurchased several years priorbut the name was notrecorded anywhere nor was alabel saved for identificationlater on. We just don’t usuallythink about recording plantnames when we purchasethem but sometimes we findwe’d like to know more aboutthat mystery plant in our gar-den. Having a journal helpsto do that. It would be nice toknow which viburnum thisperson has because there are

hundreds of varieties ofviburnums, many quite simi-lar to each other. The bloomheads on many viburnumslooks exactly like hydrangeasonly the leaves are unique toviburnums but the plants aretreated quite differently whenit comes to pruning.

Right now we should bethinking about plants thatwill not overwinter outdoorsand bring them in as thenights are getting quite cool.I have two Rosemary plantsthat will cease to be vibrantunless I get them out of theground and into pots verysoon.

Plant catalogs usuallycome out in the winter timeand get us all excited aboutnext year’s garden. It doesn’thurt to get a jump on gettingthe catalogs we want. Now isthe time to do some internetsleuthing to get on the mail-ing lists for the catalogs wewant to receive later this win-ter. Make a note to watch forthe tree giveaway by QuinteConservation in the earlyspring. They have lots of bareroot trees and they give themaway so if you are in the mar-ket for some trees, this is theplace to go.

Planning for next year’sgarden is a nice activity nowwhile our days are sunny andpleasant and while we canstill see and remember howour gardens looked and be-haved this past summer.

Last week’s article on cu-cumbers was attributed to mebut it was actually written bySandra Goranson. Sorry forthe mix-up, Sandy.

Again, the audience wastransported to a dreamlikerealm by his aural poem ofthe planet’s chaos. Ably pre-sented by the technical ex-pertise of the composer inplumbing the aural potentialsof the instruments, and by themusicians in fulfilling thosepotentials, the music was al-most operatic in passion, withthe “voices” of the violins andviola calling to each other inmelodic motifs of wingedflights.

In the latter half, the musictook an abrupt turn into rem-iniscences of 1920s cabaret,Weill-like in its syncopation,as if the soaring aspirations ofhumanity had been broughtdown to earth with the rat-a-tat busy-ness of civilization.But, optimistically, Mozetichtook us back into flight with arecapitulation of the openingtheme.

On Saturday, the eveningbegan with a pre-concertrecital by pianist Luke Bell,whom the Festival has beennurturing in young artist pre-sentations over the past fewyears. Those farsightedenough to attend heard anemerging artist of arrestingmaturity, who demonstratedtechnical precision in the ex-posed mathematics of theBach Partita in C Minor, andhis ability to convey emo-tional and expressive importin Mozetich’s Three Pieces forPiano Solo. Bell will soon beleaving for Europe, and wewish him well in his continu-ing music development.

Saturday’s concert wasdedicated to the memory ofCarl Kidd, who, with his wifeBetsy, was an avid supporterof the Festival from its incep-tion, hosting annual benefitconcerts at their Bloomfieldhome. Kidd was a muchloved musician and friend,sorely missed.

Soprano Ellen Wieseropened the concert withSamuel Barber’s cycle, HermitSongs, settings of short poemsby medieval Gaelic monks.With her silvery lyric so-prano, she demonstrated hertechnical control of her instru-ment, bringing differing emo-tional colours to voice as sheran the gamut from medita-tive to comic, from sweetlylight-hearted to deeplythoughtful, ably supportedby Stephane Lemelin’s piano.

The evening’s finale wasthe Quintet for Piano andStrings by Cesar Franck, asperformed by Lemelin andthe Penderecki Quartet.Franck wrote this piece in1879, and its lavishly senti-mental melodies and thickharmonies mark it as a lateRomantic work, revealing theinfluence of the Germanicschool of Beethoven andBrahms on their French col-league. The passionatelylarge dimensions of the workwere given both grandeurand intimacy by the musi-cians, bringing the evening toa resounding close and driv-ing the audience to their feet.

For this reviewer,Mozetich’s Hymn of Ascensionwas the highlight of theevening, as indeed, his musicproved to be throughout thefestival. Written for string

quartet and organ, it seemedto be almost religious, chron-icling the rise of humanityfrom the primal ooze toflights of higher thought.

From the resonances of theorgan’s bass to the highestpitches of the strings, themusic evolved from repeatednotes of darkness to soaringmelody. At once drenched insensuality and saturated withspirituality, the music beganwith strings in slowly ascend-ing pitches, like an amor-phous, omnipresent spirit ofcreation, before abruptly de-scending to the organ’s puls-ing bass, as if thought hadbeen made flesh. Thenslowly and painstakingly, thestrings – closest in instrumentto the outcry of the humanvoice – strove back to theupper pitches, as if flesh as-pired to thought. This is aprofoundly moving piece ofwork.

Mozetich is one ofCanada’s most performedcomposers, and is the mostsought by organizations forcommissioned work. This re-viewer ventures to suggestthat the optimism which isdiscernible in his musicalthemes strikes a chord withhis grateful listeners.Throughout his career, as hedeveloped his own voice,Mozetich created a body ofwork which combines exqui-site melody of sensual and attimes earthy aural delight,that nevertheless carries spir-itual resonance.

This writer is moved tothank Lemelin and the PECMusic Festival for affordingthe chance to discover this re-markable composer, MarjanMozetich.

The 2012 Festival con-cluded with a reception dur-ing which audience andperformers mingled, as Artis-tic Director Stephane Lemelinthanked the donors, spon-sors, and especially, the hard-working members of theMusic Festival committeewho make the music possible.

On Sunday morning, theygot down to the business ofputting together next year’sFestival, the celebratory tenthseason, marking the firstdecade of what has becomeone of Canada’s most excitingannual music events.

“I enjoy meeting and talkingto the seniors and the com-munity members who comeinto the Thrift Shop. It hasbroadened my circle offriends and it’s amazing whatpeople are looking for. Usu-ally they manage to findsomething they need.”

“I get to know peopleand people get to know me.”“ Working in the Thrift Shophas become part of my rou-tine and I can give back to mycommunity by raising moneyto help seniors.” “It’s fun!”“It’s like Christmas everyday.”

According to a CanadianHeritage study on Why Peo-ple Volunteer (www.nald.ca), for peopleworking in volunteer-basedagencies it is essential to “en-sure that volunteer assign-ments are satisfying andfulfilling. This has a pay-back beyond volunteers re-maining with theorganization. According toseveral surveys, the bestagents for recruitment arevolunteers who share theirpositive experiences withothers.

Surveys have shown thatmost individuals who volun-teer learn about the opportu-nity from personal contact.About 40 per cent become in-volved because someoneasks them and over 25 percent learn about the workfrom a relative or friend in-volved in the activity. Lessthan 20 per cent seek out theactivity on their own. Everysatisfied volunteer can thusbe seen as a potential re-cruiter.”

At Prince Edward Com-munity Care for Seniors wehave a myriad of volunteerpositions that will appeal to

seasoned volunteers; peopleseeking their first volunteerexperience; for those whohave a few hours to give; andfor those who have severalhours a week; for those look-ing for a group experience;and for people wishing towork on their own; some po-sitions are social and othersare individual; some are on-going, and other positions areone-time, project based.

All of the staff members atCommunity Care have for-

mal training in the manage-ment of volunteers and areskilled at matching the skillsand interests of volunteerswith the volunteer position.

We’re always recruitingnew volunteers because thereare more seniors to help,more things to be done. Atthe present time, we haveopenings at the Thrift Shop.

This is a social experiencewith a minimum time re-quirement of three hours aweek. We can accommodatevolunteers who are away forseveral weeks a year (someare snowbirds) so don’t letthat stop you from puttingyour name forward.

The study above pointsout that current volunteersare the best recruiters of vol-unteers. Feel free to go intoCommunity Care’s ThriftShop at 281 Main Street inPicton and ask the volunteersabout their experiences in theshop. They’re happy toshare and will encourage youto come to the office andapply. We have a ThriftShop orientation sessioncoming up very soon sowe’re anxious to recruit newvolunteers and have them at-tend.

If working in the Thrift

Shop isn’t for you, come on inthe Community Care office inThe Armoury and talk aboutdelivering Meals on Wheels,driving seniors to appoint-ments, helping at the congre-gate dining program, visitingor calling seniors, helping inthe office, etc. Check ourwebsite for information onthe agency.
