Kemptville financier Bruce Elmore given prison term JOSEPH MORIN joe.morin@metroland.com

SITUATION CRITICAL Exploring the concerns of seniors’ long-term health care in part three of series. 8

O-YA IN OSGOODE The Osgoode Youth Association has great programs for Ottawa South youth this summer. 10

The victims have had to live without closure for the past eight years as the court system moved ultimately towards a conviction and now a sentencing for former Kemptville financial planner Bruce Elmore. On Friday July 2 in Ottawa, Elmore was sentenced to six years in prison for his theft and fraudulent management of close to $2.76 million. The court has given him a restitution order as well. Despite Elmore’s defense lawyer’s assertion that he was sorry for what had happened to the life savings of at least 30 people who trusted him with their financial investments, the judge was not impressed. The defense had asked for house arrest for the 62 year old former financier. Last week victims spoke up during the victim impact statements as part of the court proceedings outlining the losses they have had to suffer through. Peter Bunn and his wife Helen lost all of their savings in the scam. For them, the damaged to their finances is one thing but the loss of trust and the struggle over the past 8 years to keep the investigation alive has taken its toll. “I have had to bring this back over and over again,” said Bunn after returning from Ottawa on Friday afternoon. “Only now can I start to let it all go.” The investigation all began back in September of 2002 when bakery owner Guenther Bongard, one of Elmore’s clients, went to see him about getting some of his money from his investments.

More than 50 volunteers who helped survey area businesses came together for an appreciation luncheon provided by the Business Retention and Expansion program. “This is a great community to work, to play and to live,” said Councilor Terry Butler. “We have to be sure growth doesn’t overwhelm us, that tourism is high and businesses that built this foundation are very well supported.” The BR+E, which is community-based and volunteer-driven, helps to encourage local business growth and stability. Members of the community who gathered at the luncheon put in hours of volunteer time to help look at opportunities and barriers affecting area businesses. The results will be used to develop a Business Retention + Expansion Ac-

tion Plan for success. Volunteers and political leaders enjoyed a lunch provided by Butler’s Victorian Pantry and desserts by Grahame’s Bakery. They listened to speeches by MPP Steve Clark, Mayor Bill Gooch, BR+E co-ordinator Teri Devine, among other leaders in the community. In his speech, Clark commended the volunteers on a job well done. “As volunteers, this was no easy task,” he said. “Surveys were comprehensive and took a lot of time. It’s very much appreciated by municipality and chamber. To have so many people willing to give their time to help in this issue, my hat’s off to you.” Devine provided a PowerPoint presentation featuring an update on how the BR+E is progressing. She said 73 businesses have been visited so far out of their target number of 80, and more than 50 volunteers have put in a total of more than 100

vitalize Kemptville’s downtown buildings using their original structure and the positive impact it had on the current downtown’s appearance. “A lot of buildings needed repair,” he said. “It seemed like a lot of people just avoided it, when really it’s the core of Kemptville. But I think more and more people will be looking to the roots of the town, the history, the buildings, what it really was and what it can become.” Certificates were also given out to the volunteers as a thank you for their hours dedicated to surveying the area businesses and their concerns. “If we don’t get it right, and we don’t work together, this could really hurt the social fabric of our community,” said Butler. “When we recap all your hard work and crunch the numbers, we will be able to put together a vision that works.”

“It’s all about making them more comfortable in reviewing their plan and the people they need to contact.” The United Counties were joined together for the first time in this type of an exercise. Those who participated in the exercise were the Leeds and Grenville member municipalities and partner municipalities of Brockville, Prescott and Gananoque. In the afternoon, the municipalities were given a scenario where each county was faced with tornadolike weather conditions. Each municipality had their own description of how the scenario impacted their region. “It’s really a networking opportunity,” he said.

Decision pending for Scholar Heights subdivision in a municipality that no longer exists,” said Denhez. “There’s a physical inability of getting records.” Langlois’ witnesses included MacDonald and herself. The municipality, represented by Paul Jansen and D. Gregory Meeds, brought forward Symon and qualified land use planner Steve Pentz to talk about how the proposed subdivision demonstrates good land use and coincides with the Official Plan and Provincial Policy Statement. Pentz addressed Langlois’ nine issues she had with the proposed subdivision including; the loss of parkland, no green buffer around the subdivision, density, servicing and cost sharing, built heritage (for the two historical schoolhouses located nearby), fencing, increased traffic, loss of trees and blasting when construction starts. He addressed these issues while giving an extensive background on the Provincial Policy Statement which is the rule book on how a municipality should operate. “This [subdivision] promotes growth in an urban service area and is a compliment to surrounding neighbourhoods,” he said. He went on to explain that the Provincial Policy Statement states that municipalities have to provide open space, but not every land should

be used for that purpose. However Langlois said the closest park to her neighbourhood is Riverside Park – roughly two kilometers from where she and her neighbours live. After about seven hours of hearing both sides, Denhez let each side give their closing remarks. “I believe that Mr. MacDonald’s oath showing there was a gift of land proves it, I believe his story and I believe that when looking at this court decision, all of the circumstances for this proposal should be considered,” Langlois said. “Given the fact that Kemptville’s west end has no parks in the area, this attractive part of land should remain as a public open space and as a park.” Meeds and Jansen also gave their closing remarks. “Even if it was a gift, it’s not relevant,” said Meeds. “The real issue Langlois has was 30 years ago. Pentz and Symon were quite clear that’s what’s called planning and development. Things evolve and things change. People don’t like change sometimes, and I respect that. But that’s reality.” Denhez said the hearing was an interesting one, and he will have a decision made as soon as possible. On his way home, he said he would possibly check out the site in question at 535 Clothier Street West.

Arguments surrounding Kemptville’s proposed Scholar Heights subdivision were “thought-provoking,” said Ontario Municipal Board Judge M.C. Denhez. About a dozen residents filled the old council chambers of Kemptville’s courthouse on June 28 to hear the arguments for and against the subdivision. On one side of the courtroom was Cynthia Langlois, who is appealing the subdivision plan. On the other side, lawyers were defending the municipality’s decision to give the green light to the small subdivision. “I’m here to honour my aunt’s legacy, and honour Norenburg’s intent to ensure residents in North Grenville are not deprived of a park,” said resident Doug MacDonald, who acted as Langlois’ witness. Langlois argued that the piece of land, which could be used a subdivision featuring 22 units on 14 residential lots, was a gift from the late resident Anna MacDonald and Cranberry Hill developer, the late Karl Norenburg. At the hearing on Monday, MacDonald’s nephew Doug and Langlois didn’t have the transaction in writing. The judge M.C. Denhez heard their side of the argument, but looked surprised to hear that the transaction had not been written down. “It’s not for lack of opportunity that someone could have written on a shred of a napkin,” said Denhez. “In an inch of documents, there’s not one scrap of paper that says there was a deal.” But the pair showed other

forms of proof they felt they had that showed the land was given as a gift – including a series of maps and mainly bylaw 8-78 from the former Oxford-on-Rideau Township, which states that the land remain a park. Langlois said that Norenburg could have zoned it residential, but he didn’t. She added that the fact that he zoned it public open space and public parkland proves that Norenburg was honouring MacDonald’s wishes that it remain a park. She told Denhez that she feels the language in the original zoning bylaw proves that Norenburg was honouring MacDonald’s wishes. “The language found in the original bylaw 8-78 was clear,” said Langlois. “The language in it suggests that the lands shall be used for no use other than a public park.” The zoning’s provisions changed in 1985 which included making it general residential and changing it from open space to open residential – all of which public notice was not given in the former Oxford-on-Rideau township, according to Langlois. However Denhez and Forbes Symon, director of planning and development, said it would have to be assumed that the municipality followed the rules of the day. “We’re talking about 25 years ago,

OPINION EDITORIAL

COMMUNITY

Using the power of protest carefully Sometimes, you’re your own worst enemy. There were almost 1,000 protestors arrested in Toronto last week at the G20 summit. They say they were there exercising their right to protest and free speech, but many that were arrested were seen throwing bricks, destroying businesses and lighting police cars on fire. They achieved their goal of getting media attention, no doubt. Many viewers had no idea what was even discussed at the summit until days later. What’s burned into our memories (literally) are the ignited police cars and riots taking place right in the heart of downtown Toronto. But while they got the attention of the media and the country, the politicians still continued on their merry way, making decisions on things that protestors – now thrown in jail – were fighting against. Almost 1,000 of them were handcuffed and confined to “the slammer” – a place where it’s a bit more difficult to exercise your right to free speech and protest. If these thousands of protestors had joined together and formed their own version of a G20 Summit, chances are their voices would have been heard far beyond Toronto’s downtown skyscrapers. Imagine how often politicians would work with them and hear what they have to say if they sent out formal press releases, were represented by educated leaders rather than hooligans, and approached world leaders rationally instead of blowing up banks in protest. Thankfully, nothing in North Grenville has been blown up and tensions haven’t escalated to the extent of the G20 protests. But in the municipality’s own backyards, decisions have been made that some residents are trying to protest. The only difference is people’s words and attitudes have worked against them as their own worst enemies. However, isn’t it great that Canadians have the power of protest and can choose to do so in any way they wish to.

Passing the Torch The Friends of Crysler’s Farm Battlefield will be hosting a one-day military timeline event called, “Passing the Torch 1750-2010” on July 10, 2010 at the Crysler’s Farm Battlefield site beside Upper Canada Village. This year is the 65th anniversary of the end of WWII. All Canadian veterans and those of Canada’s allies will be honoured. There are two World War II battle re-enactments, planned at the memorial next to the village. A special treat will be a fly past of vintage WWII military aircraft, weather permitting. Re-enactors will be taking on the role of the military during the mock battles. “Passing the Torch” begins on Saturday afternoon at 1:30 p.m. and again on Saturday evening 7:30 p.m. on the grounds at the Crysler Memorial Park next to Upper Canada Village.

Python in a strange land From time to time odd events can overtake us all. This past week I had the pleasure of encountering a citizen of the African jungle, a member of the clan python, a mythical friend to Cleopatra and a revered symbol of the Igbo people of southeastern Nigeria. I received a call from a North Grenville resident to come over and take a picture of a snake that they had stumbled across in their travels. The snake was very dead having passed on to a better place earlier in the week. What made the find so unusual was that the snake was not a resident of North Grenville or for that matter North America. The large and menacing looking snake was a python. The python is not something that anyone would normally find in this part of the woods or for that matter anywhere in Canada. The snake was around six-feet long or 1.8 meters. It looked bigger than anything I had seen in any forest in North Grenville and was quite unusual to say the least. The surprised resident had brought the deceased snake home in

JOSEPH MORIN Editor’s Notes The creature was obviously someone’s personal exotic pet. Another alternative was that it had migrated north to visit us here in North Grenville as a result of increasing summer temperatures and climate change. It would certainly, if it had survived in the wild, given any fishers a run for their money or for that matter most of the small furry creatures who, at the moment, reign supreme in our woods. This particular kind of python is called a ball python because of its signature style of defending itself by turning into an actual ball that you can roll. It is very passive and according to the experts makes for a great pet. It has been said that Cleopatra actually wore a python, reVice-President & Regional Publisher Chris McWebb chris.mcwebb@metroland.com Regional General Manager John Willems john.willems@metroland.com Director of Advertising Terrilynne Crozier terrilynne.crozier@metroland.com

ferred to as a Royal Python, around her wrist as an accessory, though this one would have been two large for that kind of treatment. In Nigeria where the Igbo people live the Ball Python is revered and considered a special jungle creature. It is considered to represent the earth being the kind of animal which travels close to the ground. According to the all-knowing Internet, the villagers always treat this particular kind of python with the greatest respect and when they are discovered roaming through a village are carefully picked up and returned to the jungle. In the case of one passing away, villagers have been know to actually fashion a small coffin to bury the snake’s remains. The entire event of the Ball Python was a different kind of experience than I would have expected. I felt sorry for the critter, lost and obviously not at home in Canada. I do not think it would have appreciated snowdrifts at all. See page 16 for photo

Sonia He is on her way back to her family in China. The graduate student has been living in North Grenville and attending North Grenville District High School for the past two years. Her parents in China wanted Sonia to get the kind of education they felt she would not get at home. Perfecting her English and learning about the North American culture were high on her list when she arrived from China in 2008. Sonia started out at the high school in Grade 11. The graduation ceremonies held at the school on June 29 were more than special to her. “I cannot wait to get home and see my mom and dad,” she said as she stood in the school cafeteria after collecting her hat and gown along with the hundred or so students who were getting ready to march into the school’s gymnasium.

More than 125 students enjoyed their graduation ceremonies at the North Grenville District High School last Tuesday, June 29. As students arrived at the high school early to collect their graduation hats and gowns, commencement organizers were busy getting the school’s gymnasium ready for the evening. Teachers brought in more chairs as parents and family filled up the room. The graduation procession began right on time at 4 p.m. Piped in by Mike Durant, a member of the Kemptville Legion Branch 212 Pipe Band, the students found their seats and settled down for the ceremony. Teacher and North Grenville Councillor Barb Tobin commented that she received many compliments about this year’s graduation ceremony. The gymnasium was not as hot as it usually gets this time of year. Tobin explained that the award recipients were from across the board in terms of what their plans were for the coming year. Some will

be going on to university others to college and some will be entering the workforce. Mark Sharp and Kaylie deBlois teamed up for the Valedictorian speech this year. Their presentation was lighthearted and included a bittersweet portrait of the last four years at the school. “Maybe you loved high school, or maybe you hated it. Either way you have to admit there were some good memories to be had at North Grenville. Walking into the doors of North Grenville on the first day of Grade nine, with the girls I walked out of Kemptville Public School with was stellar,” said Kaylie. Mark had a few points to be made about the idea of students moving on in life. “Sometimes the things that happen to us we have no control over and must accept,” he said. He added, “Whatever happens happens, but you need to be the force behind what happens and make the right choice so that the future turns out the way you want it.” Kaylie summed up the feelings of everyone in the graduating class when she said, “This group of people right here, this group of graduates, are the

He is the Chair of the Youth Board. “The youth centre is a large part of my life,” he said. “I want to be able to pass on all of the help and support I received to others.” John had his share of ups and downs but he never gave up. “I willed myself to keep going,” he remembered. Now he is graduating. “Graduating tonight,” he said, “is a milestone for me. I will remember this moment to drive me forward to university.” John plans to come back for one more year at St. Michaels and then take engineering at university. In the meantime, he will continue to play his music and help other young people who could used his support.

St. Michael Catholic High School celebrated their graduating class last week at a ceremony which took place on Tuesday, June 29. at 7 p.m. Students arrived early to get into their gowns and to have their picture taken in one giant group picture at the front of the school. One hundred and thirty-one graduates took to the stage one at a time to receive their diplo-

mas and awards. The evening included a farewell to the school vice principal Armando Lopes who will be moving on as a principal to another school. Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario Superintendent of Education Mark Musca along with St. Michael Catholic High School Council Chair Gord Wyse congratulated all of the students for their efforts and success. One of the highlights of the evening was the valedictory address by student Sade Francois. Sade is the President of the Student Council, a member of the school’s band, as well as a student who the school believes is a great representative of the graduating class. Her address included a quote from A.A. Milne’s Winnie the Pooh. “If ever there is a tomorrow when we are not together… there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we are apart. I will always be with you.” The awards portion of the evening concluded with the presentation of three prestigious honours. Jessica Juneau received the Governor General’s Award for highest average in Grade 12 and Rebecca Cronk was awarded the Lieutenant Governor’s

Home, not always so sweet Part three of the four-part series Situation Critical explores seniors’ concerns about the care they receive in long-term care homes, and a representative example of those who experience exemplary care.

THIRD IN A FOUR-PART SERIES

By Rob O’Flanagan When a visitor pounds on the metal door of his no-frills, $550 a month apartment, George LeLievre slowly, painfully answers. That he is able to unlock the heavy door and swing it open with enough energy to flash an inviting smile and offer a “Please, come in,” is a remarkable feat, given the number of complex medical conditions that reside, or have resided, in this frail 67-year-old man’s body, and considering the number of times the tough Hamilton senior has walked a tightrope around the mouth of his grave. A broken back, five hernias, tuberculosis, colitis, lymphoma, at least two heart attacks and coma — LeLievre’s scar tissue draws a map of a tough life lived hard, of a body ravaged by manual labour, tobacco and drink. One of 17 children born to Pearl LeLievre and her husband George Sr., of Kirkland Lake, LeLievre is a living, laboriously breathing anomaly: He walked out of a long-term care home and returned to life in the community. Ministry of Health and Long Term Care statistics from 2009 show just 11.6 per cent of residents across the province were discharged to a private home. The average stay for more than 75,000 frail elderly in 625 provincially supported nursing homes is three years. During LeLievre’s year and a half in Victoria Gardens Long-Term Care, the sound-of-mind senior said he was witness to a situation that was as much detention centre as home, where residents were left in wheelchairs in front of televisions morning to night, and where, he said, the recently deceased were left in their beds for hours in plain view of visitors. LeLievre said he was provided a bare minimum of medical care and personal attention, despite his serious needs. “Seven-thirty in the morning they give me my medication,” said LeLievre, sitting at the kitchen table of his sparsely furnished flat, pictures of his large family on the walls, a cigarette burning in his bony fingers. “Then at noon, I get my medication. And four o’clock, I would get medication. And that’s all they done for me.” Ranka Stipancic, administrator of Victoria Gardens, on Victoria Avenue North, defended the level of care at the home. While she wouldn’t speak to LeLievre’s case specifically, citing privacy regulations, she said the home has been caring for residents with high-intensity medical needs for years, and that the province has a special program that helps defray

the costs of that care. Current Ministry of Health records (from May) show Victoria Gardens performed better than the provincial average on inspections over the last four years. Stipancic said round-the-clock registered-nursing care and staffing levels are adequate to meet the care requirements of residents. LeLievre’s view of his time at the government-licensed home in the Landsdale neighbourhood reflects concerns expressed by patients, families and elder advocates during research for Situation Critical, Metroland’s special report on long-term care. While Ontario’s most urgent problem is that tens of thousands of its most medically needy, fragile seniors are stuck, sometimes for years, on unbudging wait lists for a nursing-home bed, barriers to care can also arise once a senior secures a place in long-term care. Years of understaffing and pressure from the influx of increasingly older residents with more complex medical and personal needs leave staff gasping to cope with the demands. The average age of residents at admission is 80, and about 73 per cent have Alzheimer’s or other dementia. It can be overwhelming for front line personal support workers just to meet the daily living needs of the majority of residents, leaving those more able to fend for themselves. A skeletal figure with sunken cheeks and large, animated eyes, LeLievre said he often had to change his own colostomy bag in the nursing home despite chronic back problems. He continues to battle cancer and heart disease. “When I needed help to change my colostomy bag, I’d say, ‘Can I get some help to do that?’ They’d say, ‘With you in a minute.’ Then it was, ‘Oh, it’s my smoke break.’ Or it was, ‘Oh, dinner hour, can’t do it now.’ I wind up changing it myself.” Stipancic, the home administrator, said some residents choose to change their own colostomy bags. For those who are physically and cognitively capable, “the staff will provide teaching in order for the residents to maintain their independence.” Personal support workers assist those who need help with the procedure, she added. LeLievre said the dead were neglected during his stay. When a roommate passed away, the deceased man was left in his bed for hours. “There’s no courtesy there to pull the drape around him,” he said. “He lay in that bed all night until maybe 11 o’clock in the morning … That’s not the only one I seen, I seen many of them go that way.” Stipancic said when a resident dies in a long-term care facility, a physician is notified to come to pronounce death. Every tenth death is investigated by a coroner. “We can’t move the body until either the physician or the coroner have been

here,” she explained, adding the body is always screened with privacy curtains as part of postdeath care. An end stage of the health care system, long-term care is generally acknowledged as the place where those who need 24-hour personal and medical assistance go to live out their last days. Despite the large number of people residing in homes, those who study long-term care say it remains largely an out-of-sight, out-of-mind sector. “I think long-term care has been marginalized from mainstream health care,” said Kevin Brazil, a professor in McMaster University’s department of clinical epidemiology and biostatistics, an expert in long-term care and care of the dying. “It has been sort of bracketed and pushed aside.” Implicit ageism and a “sanitized culture” that distances itself from the realities of death and dying contribute to the marginalization, he added. A Residents Bill of Rights (included in the health ministry’s Long-Term Care Act) has long been in place to protect those living in long-term care settings, and a new and expanded version of the bill, containing more than 25 rights, will be in place this summer. But those rights — the right to be properly clothed and groomed, to privacy, to participate fully in care decisions, to engage in activities good for mind and body, and provision for family and residents’ councils through which complaints can be made — are widely overlooked and often violated in homes across Ontario, advocates for the elderly say. Homes post the Bill of Rights for residents and families to see, but there is pervasive fear of repercussions for complaining. “There are a few things about long-term care that are barriers to the enforcement of any standards or any rights,” said Natalie Mehra, director, Ontario Health Coalition, “and one is that residents are afraid of repercussions for complaining,

the same as their families.” First-hand accounts of the conditions and quality of nursing homes cover the exemplary as well as the questionable. A 2009 survey by the Ontario Health Quality Council found 60 per cent of families rated the care of their loved ones in nursing homes as good. Wendy Renault, whose mother, Janet, 86, lives in Willowgrove Long Term Care Residence in Ancaster (operated by Chartwell Seniors Housing REIT), is a representative case. She said her mother trusts the workers, smiles at them, hugs them and holds their hands. “I figure that’s the best testament to the care she gets here,” the daughter said. Chartwell officials spoke of the absolute need for empathy and compassion in long-term care. “Most of the people that work in this field are here because this is really what they want to do,” said Linda Schertzberg, Willowgrove administrator. “You have to be a strong individual, because we deal with death. They are here for eight hours a day with intense one-on-one with the people they are working with. So they become close to the residents.” Administrators in long-term care homes plead lack of funding and staff as a root cause in cases when care is less than optimal. “I don’t want to cry about money,” said Pat Morden, chief executive coach of Hamilton’s Shalom Village, a progressive home with a good reputation. “But it is pathetic what we get, and it’s not enough to do what you (the public) want us to do and what we want to do.” The Ontario government is currently overseeing a review of funding, but there is no indication yet of what steps — if any — come next.

The Osgoode Youth Association, O-YA has come a long way since its beginnings in 2001. Six years after the youth group started out they were moving into their new home at the former fire station in the Village of Osgoode. The association has not looked back since. This summer, young people, from all over the Ottawa South area will be spending some time having fun at the youth centre. The centre has been growing since it arrived at their new location there are all kinds of summer programs to look forward to. There are field trips planned July and August. Groups will be heading off to the Calypso Waterpark on July 14 for ages 11 to 18 and then to Camp Fortune on July 21 for ages 14 to 18. On August 4 the youth center is off to Vertical Reality for ages 11 to 18 and then on August 11to La Ronde for ages 14 to 18. All of he various programs being set up by the youth centre have been designed for the appropriate age. “We have some very interesting programming,” said Jill Woodley the Executive Director of the centre. She believes that the centre is a great place for young people to visit. “In the last 5 months we have had more kids out here than ever before,” she explained.

One of he reasons for the success of the centre at 5479 Main Street in Osgoode, is the energy that organizers bring. Matthew Gumley is O-YA’s Summer Program Director. “The idea here is to find a way to engage older kids,” he said. The Youth Advisory Council is one way. “We try to meet every few weeks,” said Gumley. The group brainstorms issues from fundraising strategies to actual program ideas. “We are listening to what the parents and children want,” said Woodley. The Osgoode community has been behind O-YA since its beginning. “The community is very impressed that the children are taking ownership of projects,” said Woodley. “It all leads back to out vision,” she added. Another new program created by Gumley is the “Play for your Supper” guitar lessons and dinner. They idea is to have fun with the guitar, enjoy a great dinner at the centre and hang out with friends. The centre is continuing the popular teen dances during the summer and have come up with a Leadership Retreat for senior teens. The retreat idea is a 4 day program for teens ages 14 to 18. O-YA has a program called Goode Boot Camp. The camp runs all summer long. This is fitness class that should be fun and effective. For all of O-YA’s summer programs please register at 613-826-0726 or contact O-YA at oya.matt@gmail.com or`oya.nicole@rogers.com. You can also visit their website at www.o-ya.ca.

Pursue a professional goal that you once set aside to raise your children. When your home takes care of itself, you can take care of all your cravings.

Your kids would beg to visit. Whether you’ve invited old friends for a lively soirée, or your kids are planning a trip home, spoil them with the food prepared in your contemporary kitchen, the personality of your well-crafted living space, and the unique neighbourhood outside your door just waiting to be discovered. Wherever you make your home, Domicile’s expertly designed buildings will set you apart as an exceptional host. Hold a party on the rooftop terrace of one3one, overlooking Ottawa’s hip Wellington West. Invite friends to spend a leisurely weekend in the guest suite of The Glebe’s Second Avenue West, a feature unique to Ottawa condominium buildings. Celebrate a milestone by treating your family to a mouthwatering dinner in Ottawa’s Little Italy, just steps from The Radcliffe. Three state-of-the-art boutique buildings. Three reasons to simply love playing host.

from your memory and make them part of your everyday reality—and part of your backyard. Domicile homes are carefully located to accommodate your passions, from ﬁtness to ﬁne dining, live theatre to lingering evenings over a table for two. All of it is waiting for you. All of it is closer than you ever imagined. Choose to explore. Choose to reinvent. Choose to make a Domicile building your new nest, and make the next chapter of your life the most exciting one yet.

You would rekindle old love affairs. Remember the joy of an afternoon browsing one-of-a-kind shops? Or of hanging on a symphony’s last note, moments before thunderous applause? Or bicycling down a quiet, leafy pathway next to the canal? Mine these pleasures

the upside of downsizing

Elmore sentenced to 6 years Elmore From the Front Bongard had just sold his bakery and was looking at retirement. There were some bills associated with his business that he wanted to pay. When the bank told Bongard that they were having a difficult time releasing the funds he was told by the suspicious bank manager that something was wrong. Shortly after that meeting Elmore announced through the bank to his clients that he had gone bankrupt. The investors who had been giving Elmore money to be invested in reasonably safe investments found that he had taken their money and played the stock marker with it, losing almost $3 million dollars. “Our whole life was turned upside down,” remembers Bongard who instead of enjoying his retirement had to go out and find a new job. He said that losing his savings was a disaster but the loss of

trust in people and in the system was another. “I was devastated,” he remembers. The prison sentence for Elmore and the courts decision to issue a restitution order have gone a long way toward reaffirming his belief in the system. A forensic audit revealed that there is $788,000 still unaccounted for. The victims do not expect to receive any of their money back but they were pleased that the judge ordered Elmore to pay the money back if he was able as well as having jail time. “I am glad this is all over,” said Bunn. “I think the sentencing is just and right.”Bunn remembers the sense of relief several months ago when the jury found Elmore guilty. “That was an enormous validation,” said Bunn. The victims of the fraud by Elmore went through a trying time of working with the bankruptcy trustees and the court system even though they knew that apart form a guilty verdict;

PYTHON SURPRISE

they could not expect to see their money. Eventually they would receive a tenth of the money they had all invested from the bankruptcy proceedings. Elmore, even after he was found guilty, still insisted that he was innocent of any wrongdoing. “I would do this again in a heartbeat,” said Bunn. “This is the only way to stop people like Elmore from doing what they do,” he added. Bunn along with the other victims have said that they were very happy with how the court system worked and how they were treated throughout the almost decade-long investigation. “I am so grateful to so many people who helped us through this,” said Bunn. Back in 2002 when Guenther Bongard first started to ask questions about Elmore, many did not understand what had happened. Bunn thanks Bongard for raising the flag when he did. “If Guenther had done what he did,” said Gunn, “We would not have gotten anything back.”

Here’s My Card

This Ball or Royal Python was found on Rock Road. The snake was not alive and probably belonged to someone as an exotic pet. The Snake is a stranger to North Grenville and would probably have survived the summer months but would have not enjoyed winter. The Ball Python grows to a length of around 5 to 6 feet and lives on small animals. When attacked it rolls itself into a ball. This particular snake was around 5 feet long and 4 inches wide at its widest part.

The June 23 earthquake rattled more than buildings and nerves. It also stirred businesses and residents to determine if they can answer an important emergency preparedness question, “Are You Ready?” The City’s Office of Emergency Management (OEM) provides “Are You Ready” emergency preparedness training to individuals, community groups, and businesses. All training is free of charge. The program is also looking for volunteers who want to help train their fellow residents and business owners in developing their own emergency preparedness plan. The better-prepared people and households are, the better the City can respond to an emergency. “Are You Ready” is a grass-roots community Trainthe-Trainer Network - involving agencies, residents and businesses - that help in raising community awareness and action towards emergency preparedness. Volunteers for the Train-the-Trainer Network will receive a two-hour training session and training materials (including speaking points) for free. The 2010 training schedule for the Train-theTrainer Network is: Wednesday, September 15, 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. Saturday, September 25, 10:00 a.m. to Noon Thursday, October 21, 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. Saturday, November 20, 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. Contact Nathalie Rochefort at (613) 580-2424 ext. 28078.

North Grenville High School from page 5 “In China I was away at school and had to share my room with roommates. This has been much better.” Sonia’s Canadian experience has been a good one. “People are very friendly here,” she said. She was surprised by the weather. Where she lives in China there is no snow and it is not all that cold. Winter was an experience as was watching hockey for the first time. “I was able to experience all kinds of new things for example such as Halloween and Christmas.”

The Tulip Arabian Horse Show will be at the AM Barr Arena at the University of Guelph Kemptville College Campus from Friday, July 9 to Sunday July 11. The Ottawa Valley Arabian Horse Association (OVAHA) who hosts this event invites the public to come out and see the beauty, intelligence and athletic ability of the Arabian Horse. The show starts at 9:00 a.m. on Friday with Halter classes followed by Sporthorse in Hand classes and Under saddle classes starting on Friday afternoon. Friday evening will be the Supreme Champion Halter Classes followed by a Liberty Class. Saturday will be all under saddle classes in English, Western, Reining, Country English Pleasure and of course; Arabian Native Costume. There will also be driving classes for your enjoyment. On Sunday in the outdoor ring there will be dressage classes. The Arabian is one of the most popular breeds in America. The Arabians’ incredible energy, intelligence and gentle disposition allow riders to ex-

cel in most equine sports and activities. Today, Arabian horses spend as much time on the trail as they do at horse shows and other competitive events. Historical figures like Genghis Khan, Napoleon, Alexander The Great and George Washington rode Arabians. Given that the Arabian was the original source of quality and speed, and remains foremost in the fields of endurance and soundness, he still either directly or indirectly contributed to the formation of virtually all the modern breeds of horses. Even today the purebred Arabian is virtually the same as that ridden in ancient Arabia. Arabians now display their athletic talents in a variety of disciplines from English to Western, with the Arabian positioned as the undisputed champion of endurance events. To enjoy these beautiful horses come out to the Tulip Arabian Horse from July 9 to July 11 at the AM Barr Arena For more info email: thunter@ripnet.com call (613)989-3096 or visit the website at www.ottawavalleyaha.com.
