rectly. Wendy Chapman, the executive director and CEO of the North Grenville Chamber of Commerce says the commercial growth is good for the business community. “The growth in North Grenville translates into increased membership in the chamber. New businesses are contacting the chamber via walk-ins, phone calls or registering their memberships on-line on a weekly, sometimes daily basis,” said Chapman. “The Chamber is also experiencing returning membership from previous members as they see the growth and want to be seen as part of the growing business community. The upcoming grand openings are just the beginning of what will be seen as a banner year for new business,” she said. Old Town Kemptville BIA has plans to make the downtown area a destination place for visitors.

As the first month of 2011 comes to a close, North Grenville residents can celebrate the completion of several large commercial projects at Kemptville Colonnade Phase 1. The growth in 2010 for the North Grenville community in the private and residential sector has been extraordinary. From the creation of Kemptville Colonnade to the building of a new public library, the North Grenville community landscape is changing. North Grenville Mayor David Gordon says that the growth is necessary. He feels the municipality is ready for it. “We are blessed in this municipality with professionals,” said the mayor, referring to how the municipal staff has paved the way for the commercial growth along with previous councils. He said that it was the staff working behind the scenes that made things happen cor- COLONNADE see page 2

While most municipalities are just beginning their budget deliberations, the North Grenville Municipal council adopted its 2011 budget on Monday, Jan. 10, 2011, at its first meeting of the new year. As chair of the finance and administration committee, Councillor Tim Sutton made a brief presentation to council, expressing his overall satisfaction with the new budget, and what it will allow the municipality to accomplish. “I am proud to state that we have been able to adopt a budget that allows for continued growth in our community, along with infrastructure renewal,” he said. Since the entire budget process began in the fall, the benchmark was set at the October annual inflation rate of 2.5 per cent, Sutton explained. The new budget calls for a year-on-year increase of 3.7 per cent in operating expenses, which brings it to $13,178,366. The actual tax rate has yet to be determined. Taxes will continue to be based on the 2008 assessments at an average annual increase of 1.7 per cent in value. The North Grenville policy according to Sutton has been to re-adjust the municipal taxation rate every year to incorporate the change in value. One other increase of note is a 25 - cent hike on garbage bag tags, which will come into effect within the next couple of months. According to Sutton, the increase was necessary to offset the cost of building a re-use shelter at the waste transfer site and other recycling and conservation initiatives including the integrated waste management plan. On that note, there will also be a new tipping fee applied to yard waste. Currently, it costs the municipality about $15,000 per year to handle yard waste – between chipping costs and transportation from the transfer site explained CAO Andy Brown. “The goal of council is to recoup that cost,” he said, declining to specify an exact figure at this time or whether it will apply to contractors only or to all users. While a number of road projects will go ahead, not all of the projects discussed during public meetings made it through budget. For example, sidewalks along County Road 43 to the municipal centre will not be hap-

pening this year according to Brown. On the other hand, the Hurd Street Bridge is slated for repair this year. “It had been discussed for last year, but high water and ice damage had increased the cost so the bridge repair was deferred to this year,” said Brown. Other projects planned for this year include: Paterson’s Corners Road and Settler’s Way, which will receive pulverization and paving; Johnson, Dennison and Lindsay Roads will get an overlay and surface treatment along with Maley, Blossom and Jones streets in Kemptville. Improvements are also slated for parks and recreation. “We expect to improve arena lighting and add more seating in the lobby of the municipal centre. We plan to resurface the tennis courts, add new washrooms at the South Gower Park soccer fields and add more accessible picnic tables at our parks,” Sutton told council. Other planned expenditures include, new fire gear and a new fire pumper slated for 2012.

OPINION

Pieces of the puzzle come together The expression, “waiting for the other shoe to drop,” is a perfect fit for North Grenville. The first shoe was the commercial growth along County Road 43 at Kemptville Colonnade. It was a rather large shoe and it brings with it challenges and opportunities. At the time, many residents saw the growth at Kemptville Colonnade, along with a new traffic circle as a sign of what was to come. The specter of all that commercial growth between Somerville Road and the Highway 416 interchange prompted the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville to come up with a plan to make County Road 43 a four-lane highway. The cost to protect the sanity and health of all of the residents living along that soon-tobe busy commercial corridor was pegged at a modest $32 million. During the past few years,

all of the attention has been on commercial growth and how, when it comes, as it must, it will affect the community landscape. The recent municipal election actually featured a bit of angst as voters were confronted with the prospect of growth, without really understanding if the growth was welcome or not. Now, just a week or two away from Walmart coming to town, the other show drops. This shoe is soft where the first one is shiny. The municipality’s planning staff, has spent the last few years worrying about official plans, commercial development and setting out the welcome mat to the private sector. They will not get much of a break. The sound of hammers ringing up at Kemptville Colonnade are fading into the background as North Grenville gets ready

to grow in a different direction. The municipality has secured a grant that will enable them to go ahead and begin making plans to bring the area’s walking trails to life. When Kemptville celebrated their 150th anniversary a few years ago, planners felt one of the legacy projects from the 150 year birthday bash could be connecting and bringing to the public the 150 km’s of walking trails that run through North Grenville. Now a steering committee will spend some time looking at ways to tie all of those trails together. Planners feel that once the local walking trails have been identified there is no reason why those trails cannot be linked to all of the other trails around North Grenville. There is clearly more to come in North Grenville. The shoes are on the ground and are walking.

Warning: watch out for new warning labels We enter the new year with stronger warning labels on cigarette packages. Does it seem like we’ve entered every new year with stronger warning labels on cigarette packages? And have those stronger warning labels worked? Good question. Something is working, at least in the long term. Way fewer people smoke now than did 25 years ago. If you are old enough to have been smoking 25 years ago, you will remember New Years Eve parties where everybody smoked. And you will count up the number of those people who still smoke, and find almost none. So clearly something is working. And the warning labels are a lot stronger now than they were 25 years ago. So, is that it? Probably not. What else changed in those years? Well, social pressure is a big one. Suddenly, it was not cool to smoke, especially if you were an adult. Hosts stopped supplying ash trays at their houses. Smokers had to step outside, where the odds are it would be cold, in this country. Offices banned smoking. Stores and movie theatres banned smoking. Malls banned smoking. Airports banned smoking. All of that made smoking a lot less convenient and a lot less fashionable. Suddenly,

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town you were a pariah if you smoked. The most severely addicted would persevere. You can still see them, outside, huddled in the cold. Most others gave it up. To understand how much life here has changed, look back to the ’60s and ’70s where you could smoke a cigarette in the grocery store, light up in a university seminar room, on an airplane, in a movie theatre. If we could figure out what caused this big shift in our thinking, we could use it to attack other social problems, as well as prevent the development of new smokers. However, one factor has to be cost. According to Mr. Google, you could buy a pack of smokes for $2.64 in 1985. Then prices more than doubled in the next decade. And the price paid now is double that again. Does it surprise you that fewer people will pay that price?

The big factor in the increased cost is taxes. Raising taxes, always a delicate matter politically, can have some embarrassing side effects, such as the dramatic rise in cigarette smuggling in the early ’90s. Which may be why the federal government, rather than bumping up the cost of cigarettes still further, chooses instead to bump up the horror factor on cigarette packaging. There is almost no political price to be paid for this. And if it really worked, it would be good to see the principle applied to other dangerous substances. How about photos of rotted livers and mangled automobiles on liquor bottles and cases of beer? Not going to happen, you say. You’re probably right. And it probably doesn’t matter, anyway. As a society, we are frightened enough already, what with one thing and another. As graphic and sad as the new labels are, it’s not as if smokers were not aware before that they are doing something dangerous to their lives and others. The smart thing to do would be to make them pay more through higher taxes. Higher cigarette costs would be a deterrent and the additional tax revenues would be useful in this age of high deficits. But there isn’t a government alive today that will risk increasing taxes. So we are left with warning labels. If that’s what it

is to be, maybe the labels should take a different approach. Clearly smokers aren’t afraid to die. But maybe they are afraid to be shunned. Warning: Cigarettes make you stand outside in the cold while everybody else is having fun inside. Warning: Cigarettes make your clothes smell. Warning: Smoking makes your children sad. There remains the question of how to warn high school students. Perhaps a warning label telling them that smoking is something their parents liked.

A good healthy community president of Colonnade Development is perfect for North Grenville. “This is still just the tip of the iceberg,” said Kirkpatrick as he explained how the 34 acre site at the intersection of County Road 43 and Highway 416 is just starting to grow. He said that there are plans to continue the development of the site with a 40 acre business park. “The park would run all of the way to Van Buren Street,” he said. “We are envisioning adding some light industry or distribution companies.” The Colonnade Development project is all part of a

bigger picture of a healthy business community in North Grenville. Kirkpatrick explained, “All of the new business in the development supports each other as well as businesses that are not located on the site. This is a good, healthy community,” he said.

footsteps.” His son, Charles, is also a firefighter. He works with the City of Ottawa. Equipment was basic in the department when Bond started his tenure. “Back then, I had black boots, a black coat and a helmet. It was a $300 investment.” Bunker gear now for a fire fighter is about $2,500. One of his first goals, he achieved as a captain in 1977, was to have the breathing apparatus as part of the uniform. Now it’s standard equipment. His department has also been accredited as a superior tanker shuttle which has also been a highlight his career. It was in the mid-1990s when the department’s tanker trucks were tested for their superiority in delivering water. “They were able to deliver 200 gallons of water, non-stop for a two-hour period and given a Grade 1,” he said. “So for residents, that means they were given a break on their insurance rates as they were able to have a hydrant-protected rating.” Kemptville’s was the third department in Canada to have that accreditation. Bond says he is proud of many things inside the department, starting with the team – both administration, and volunteers – that makes it work. “There is no ‘I’ in team and that certainly holds true for the men and women of this department,” Bond said.

While North Grenville gears up for commercial development, municipal staff are preparing themselves for a different kind of growth. Last week, the municipality received word that they would be receiving a $50,000 grant from the Ontario Ministry of Health Promotion to go ahead with an Integrated Trail Study. The municipality has been able to increase that funding to $70,000 with their own contribution. When the town of Kemp-

tville celebrated its 150th anniversary, one of the legacy projects associated with the birthday party was the development of the walking trails in the area. The 2006 initiative, “150 Kilometers of Trails� was the first step. Now that there is funding available, a company has been hired to take the project to the next step. The MMM Group Ltd. has been hired to conduct the study. “We are starting the project next week,� said Symon. The first step is getting public input. The municipality will have an on-line survey on their web site at www.surveymonkey.com/

NorthGrenvilleTrailStrategy. The survey becomes available on Jan. 24 and will be online until Feb. 22, 2011. The study team will be at the SweetHeart Brunch at the Municipal Centre on Feb. 13. Visitors are encouraged to talk with the team. Residents can provide comments and ideas directly to Forbes Symon, at 613-258-9569 or fsymon@northgrenville.on.ca. You can also contact Jonathan Loschmann, Project Manager, MMM Group Ltd. 613-274-3200 or LoschmannJ@mmm.ca.

Elliott proving to be net gain for Senators By Rob Brodie OttawaSenators.com Brian Elliott’s draft position might suggest he was the longest of shots to earn full-time employment in the National Hockey League. But seven years after the Senators made him the second-last pick (ninth round, 291st overall) in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft, the 25-year-old native of Newmarket, Ont., has established himself in a major way between the pipes in Ottawa. Earlier this season, he played his 100th NHL game for the Senators. Before joining the Senators, Elliott honed his craft during four

years at the University of Wisconsin, backstopping the Badgers to an NCAA Frozen Four championship in 2006 with a 2-1 victory over Boston College. Elliott took some time out to talk about some of his hockey experiences — and a certain pre-game ritual that he wouldn’t do without. Q: You played your 100th NHL game earlier this season. How big a milestone was that for you? A: DeďŹ nitely, you think back (to when you started) and you just try to play one game and then the next game. That’s what has been happening and now it’s all the way to 100. It just makes you want to

reach that next milestone. It doesn’t feel like you’ve proved anything yet, playing 100 games. You just always want to stay on your toes. Q: You were a ninth-round draft pick in 2003. What do you remember about that day? A: I was teaching at hockey clinic at Seneca College in Toronto. I came home and my dad said I got drafted. I didn’t really know anything and I didn’t really know what it meant. But what everybody says holds true — it doesn’t really matter where you get drafted. A team shows interest in you and they (use) a pick on you. It means a lot and they want you to succeed. It’s not like they’re waiting for you to fail. Q: How much did going to Wisconsin help your development? A: It was the ďŹ rst time I moved away from home and it’s a pretty far trek away from home at that. Right away, it makes you grow up a little bit. You take classes and play hockey — it’s two jobs in one and it’s pretty tough. It just makes you mature a lot faster and manage your time. You don’t play as many games, but you prepare for every game like it means so much and it did.

Q: What sticks out the most about the Frozen Four experience? A: I remember not bringing my pass to the ďŹ nal game. I left it in my hotel room and I had to run back to the hotel just so I could get in the door. It’s a tough tournament. You lose one and you’re done. Just winning it ‌ I think there’s a picture of my dad and my brother on the other side of the glass, and just banging on the glass in front of them meant a lot. It was one of my best hockey experiences. Q: How many tennis balls can you juggle? A: I’m working on four, but it’s tough. I tried this summer to get four and it’s coming along. I haven’t practised in a while. Joe Pavelski from Sharks (a former college teammate) juggled a lot and coach (Mike) Eaves at Wisconsin juggled. I just wanted to learn it a little bit. Q: Does it help you relax before games? A: I don’t know if it helps me relax. I think just doing your routine helps you relax and not get nervous. It just gets your hands and eyes going at the same time and I think it deďŹ nitely helps.

One year after topping the Northeast Division, the Sabres ďŹ nd themselves battling to land a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. The loss of centre Derek Roy to injury was a big blow for the Buffalo offence, which must now rely even more heavily and goal-scoring leaders Thomas Vanek and Drew Stafford. Jason Pominville, Tim Connolly and rookie Tyler Ennis are also key contributors to the Sabres attack. On the back end, Jordan Leopold and second-year blueliner Tyler Myers help add some scoring punch. Buffalo’s biggest ace in the hole remains goaltender Ryan Miller, who has rebounded nicely after a slow start to the season.

organize such fund-raising events for their team, like soccer-baseball tournament. The cause is dear to her heart as she lost her mother in 2009 to breast cancer. This year’s recruits are: team captain Sue Van Asseldonk, Ashley Valcour, Glenda Annand, Julie Buller, Joan Dickson, Shannon Fagan, Patricia Ferguson, Traci Helem, Kim Hennessy, Jodi Hutt, Sarah Jansen, Lisa Lacombe, Anne Lawrence, Sara Le Moine, Stephanie MacGillivray, Mary Ann Moulton, Rebecca Moulton, Zoe Phelps, Nadine Pickard, Kristy Rasa, Beth Saunders and Michelle Vanden Tillaart. To this point, their team total is almost $7,500 – or 17 per cent of their $44,000 goal. Their commitment is based on love and the realization that they each need to do their parts in this fight, noted Valcour. “We do this in honor of our mothers, sisters, best friends and daughters that have had to fight this horrific disease.” “It’s an intense walk… by the end of the second day, there are bloody toes, blisters and we are minus a few toenails,” said Renee Currie, another member of the team. Currie says they start training for the Ottawa event in March and the first day, they walk a little more than half way, with bathroom breaks every few kilometers. It’s also a chance to refuel with food and water. “We asked if we could donate funds we raise back to the Kemptville hospital because that way we are able to get more sponsor support,” Currie said. “We are able to great community support for events like this.” According to Linda Eagan, president and CEO of the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation, all the money raised at the June walk goes to the foundation to be used specifically to help make a difference in the eastern Ontario region. “Whatever is raised during that weekend stays in the region and it is put to work right away in strategic ways,” she said. “It has a direct impact on the lives of people living with cancer and their families. This ensures local residents in our community have access to the best care

Graham indicated that it could be as early as spring.

LJ MATHESON Special to the Advance

Ottawa South United Soccer Club’s 1994 Boys OSU Force team achieved the first ever gold medal for an Ottawa team at the prestigious Disney Soccer Showcase; the number-one ranked College Showcase in North America. “We were there in December and the boys had an absolutely amazing time,” said Joe Lianos, the club’s general manager. “We are very proud of them.” The showcase is held every year over Christmas and New Year in Orlando, Florida. The OSU team is one of only three teams from Canada to have ever won gold at the Disney Showcase, noted Lianos. The showcase attracts the best youth teams in North America as well and the Chelsea FC Club in west London, United Kingdom. There are more than 700 university coaches also in attendance.

On the first day of group play, the Force defeated Kendal Soccer Coalition (’93-94) of Florida by a score of 2-1. Day two saw the boys facing MCISA Cruzers of New York, a team ranked number one in New York state and 14th in the United States. From the opening whistle, the Force pressed and attacked relentlessly, scoring three unanswered goals. With 20 minutes left in the game the Cruzers scored from a scramble in the box. Ten minutes later the Force scored again and the game ended 4-1 On the final day of group play the Force faced the number-one ranked team from Nebraska, the Omaha Futbal Elite. OSU opened the scoring at the 25 minute mark and went on to win by a score of 2-1 and moving to the finals. The gold-medal match pitted the Force against the numberthree ranked team

from Virginia, the PWSI Courage (’93’94) Red. The Force scored first and the Courage scored minutes later to end the half tied 1- 1. In the second half the Force showed that they can play with the best in North America and scored two more goals, winning the gold by a 3-1 margin. The Force went an impressive 4-0 in the showcase with 11 goals scored and four against.

“More impressive, was the attention the boys received from US University and College coaches from Div. I and Div. II schools,” noted Lianos. “Coaches commented on the skill, speed and desire of the team. “OSU is very proud of our teams and their achievements over the years. Building on the success in Disney of the ’91 and ’93 boys’ teams, this is a testament to our players, our coaches,

the OSU development programs and alliances that OSU put together during the last six years. “College coaches in attendance have committed to coming to Ottawa to have a closer look at our players and that will also benefit our future younger players. “The OSU family would also like to congratulate the hard work that coaches Russell Shaw and Craig Stead put into preparing the team to compete at the showcase tournament.”

New outdoor rink brings community together LJ MATHESON laurie.matheson@metroland.com

After an intensive flooding regime, the outdoor rink behind Kemptville’s Southgate Community Church is open for use. Pastor Ben Last says it’s been quite a process to flood the newly constructed rink, which he does by filling a 250-litre barrel with water and pouring it over the ice surface. “Every six minutes I empty the barrel,” he said. “I did that all day (Jan. 12) to get a good surface.” He said he asked the Kemptville Fire Department if someone could flood it once a week and give it a good bath. “They said they would help out if we paid for the water,” Last said.

It’s been a community effort as far as building the outdoor facility. They obtained donations from the congregation – some $1,500 – and some old nets from the City of Ottawa that were no longer in use. They also obtained the lighting from a donation, as well as the coverall that was used as a barrier between the ground and the ice surface. They are having a little trouble with the grade of the ice surface, which is 33.5 metres by 13.7 metres, and as a result, one side had to have more water to level it out. “One of the things that the church wanted to do was to figure out how to become more involved in the community,” Last said. “We looked through the newspapers and discovered such

groups as card groups or walking groups and that started the conversation about a rink. We talked about the rink because there isn’t an outdoor rink in Kemptville. We have been playing hockey in the parking lot so we decided to build a rink this year. At 4 p.m. on Sundays we have pick-up hockey, but other than that, it’s free for anyone to use. It’s been an idea that is well received in the community. “It’s absolutely wonderful,” said Anelle Richardson. “It gives the kids something to do and it’s such a safe environment.” She and her husband Trevor, and their seven children: Dylan, 12, Alex, 10, Daniel, 7, Caleb, 5, Joshua, 5, Timothy, 4, and Matthew, 18 months, are from

Heckston, and they enjoyed the outdoor rink for the first time this year on Jan. 12. After Trevor landed a job in Ottawa, they moved to Nepean from South Africa two years ago. “It’s so much better where we are now (near Kemptville),” said Anelle, who is a photojournalism graduate, and is getting back into photography. “We have three acres and there is lots of room for the kids.” Their children are homeschooled and say they enjoy the church community of Southgate. Last said the majority of the 260-person congregation – which has grown by more than 100 people since he became the pastor last summer – enjoy the outdoor rink and say it is a great community builder. In the future, they are looking to spend another $1,500 to build higher boards and some benches, and to get some more lighting, perhaps even some timed lights. They will rely on donations from congregation members, he said. “We don’t pass a plate at church nor do we hold fundraisers like bake sales. It’s whatever people want to donate… that’s what we will use (for rink improvements).” “Eventually, we want to have some outdoor speakers and experience church outside,” Last said. “It’s a place that people can come, take a deep breath and relax… and that starts in the parking lot. I like to pump up the tunes so people can hear them outside.”

Pastor Ben Last has been working on the rink since November and it is now open for the public to enjoy free of charge He says by making it fun and contemporary, more people are coming out to the services. “I try not to be boring,” he said. “And I give out Skittles… that’s popular for the children. I want to let people know that I’m just a normal, regular guy doing this (being a pastor). We have a very young church… with about 50-70 children.” Plus one… he and his wife Emily, were blessed with their son, Braeson, who was born in December.

Timothy (4) and Joshua (5) Richardson enjoyed some outdoor skating at the new rink behind the Southgate Community Church on Jan. 12.

The 73’s opened the weekend action taking on the Ottawa Junior Senators on Friday night, Jan. 14 in Kemptville. Alex Brenton opened the scoring for Kemptville just under thirteen minutes into the first period. The goal, his nineteenth of the season, was set up by Jake Clark and Andrew Upshall. Just before the end of the period, Brett Jackson put the 73’s up 2-0. Assists went to Pat Cameron and Travis Armstrong. The second period was fast paced with neither team scoring. With just three minutes left in the game, Nick Duhn scored, from Josh Pitt and Brock Plouffe, putting the game away for Kemptville. With the 3-0 win, the 73’s climbed a little closer to a playoff spot. 73’s goalie, Keinan Brown, with his first shutout of the year, was named the game’s first star. Ben Hutton and Nick Duhn were named second and third respectively. Jan. 11 was trade dead-

line day in the CHL. Kemptville traded their Captain, Michael Rowbotham to Cornwall, where he will finish his CHL career with the first place Colts. Mike was an original member of the Junior A 73’s in the 2007-08 season. In return, Kemptville acquired a first round draft pick in the 2013 draft and future considerations. The team also received future considerations from Gloucester in the Curley trade. In other moves, the team signed Andrew Upshall. Andrew is from Clarenville, Newfoundland and played collegiate hockey in Lake Forest, Illinois. He established himself as a member of the 73’s by notching an assist in his first game. On Sunday afternoon, Jan. 16, the last place Hawkesbury Hawks came to town. Kemptville took a 2-0 lead to the locker room at the end of the first period. Jake Clark scored both goals for the 73’s. The two goals bring his season total to fourteen. Josh Pitt and Brock Plouffe set up his

first goal, short-handed, and Andrew Upshall and Keegan Rowe assisted on the second. Just a minute and a half into the second period, Brandon Lesway notched his eight of the year from Pat Cameron and Donovan Gardiner on the power play. Next, Andrew Upshall scored his first CHL goal in his second game as a 73. The goal was set up by Nick Duhn and Jake Clark. With just seventy-three seconds left in the second, Alex Brenton scored his team leading twentieth marker of the season from Jake Clark and Brock Plouffe on the power play. The period ended with Kemptville holding a 5-0 lead. In the third, Alex Brenton added his twenty-first of the year, unassisted, to give the 73’s a 6-0 lead and that turned out to be the final score. On Friday, Jan. 21, the 73’s will in Hawkesbury. On Sunday, Jan. 23, the Smiths Falls Bears will provide the opposition. Puck drop is at 7:00 pm at the North Grenville Complex. Catch the excitement!

Robinson team downs Yzerman squad in CCHL all-star game DANIEL NUGENT-BOWMAN

442464-03-11

daniel.bowman@metroland.com

Considering Alex Brenton wasn’t even supposed to play in the Central Canada Hockey League, (CCHL) AllStar Classic, he had quite the showing at the Bell Sportsplex in Kanata on Jan. 12. The Kemptville 73’s right winger was not named to the 21-player Robinson Division roster on Dec. 21. In-

stead, he and Smiths Falls Bears winger Matt Robertson were chosen to fill in for Carleton Place Canadians winger Tyler Kotlarz and Cornwall Colts forward Kevin Cole. But even with the original slight, Brenton netted all of the Robinson team’s goals – including two in the third period – in a 3-2 win over the Yzerman Division. Brenton’s final tally came with 48 seconds remaining.

Carleton Place Canadians centre Ryan Lowe assisted on two of Brenton’s markers. Brenton’s first goal of the game allowed the Robinson all-stars to take a 1-0 lead into the intermission. But Pembroke Lumber Kings forwards Matthew Peca and Brandon Gagne responded in the second period to put the Yzerman allstars ahead before Brenton’s third-period heriocs. Both

Kings had two points. Gagne, teammate Ted Pletsch and Nepean Raiders captain Craig Cowie replaced Pembroke’s Jonathan Milley, Cumberland Grads captain Michael Borkowski and Gloucester Rangers centre Andrew Creppin in the game. Justin Gilbert of the Brockville Braves earned the victory for the Robinson stars. Brenton and Peca took home respective player of the game honours.
