Finding something you lost - especially something you love - always feels like a small miracle. That is how Crystal and Jamie Anderson feel after finding their lost four legged family member. The couple are avid dog lovers and live with two dogs, 10-month old Rhodesian Ridgeback pup Fynn and Gideon, an older Ridgeback. Like most folks in the area, the family came to Kemptville for the excellent fireworks display every year. They live in Chesterville. During the fireworks Fynn decided he would rather be somewhere else and proceeded to put his plan into action. As a result, the couple had the terrifying prospect of never seeing him again. The story of how he was reunited with Crystal, Jamie and
Gideon is a happy one. This Canada Day they arrived at the Kemptville College University of Guelph Campus all ready for a great fireworks display. Both dogs enjoy traveling and being with Crystal and Jamie. However, throw in some very loud fireworks and their reaction is not a happy one. “Fynn wasn’t so happy with the fireworks,” said Crystal. “So we each had a 70-pound dog in our laps to ease their anxiety. Fynn jumped off my husband’s lap and Jamie followed.” Somehow as Fynn twisted around making his escape from the loud noises, the safety release on his collar came loose. He was gone. “He ran through a crowd of people and straight down the street, past several cars parked by the railway tracks and across County Road 43.” Dogs see page 2

ONE ON ONE IN OSGOODE Osgoode village was busy on the weekend as the third annual Osgoode Medieval Festival took place, thrilling hundreds of visitors. There were many events to see and enjoy as the festival included jousting, archery, and sword fighting - not to mention an actual medieval King’s Feast. Visitors at the three-day event rubbed shoulders with medieval vendors, musicians, maidens and knights and enjoyed a bit of history from a distant past. In this photo, knights break lances as they crash against each other.

Dog from the front Anyone who lives with a dog can imagine the thoughts that went racing through Crystal and Jamie’s head. The couple assumed that Fynn, in his attempt to put the fireworks behind him, was running east. “We searched for several hours but it was dark and we were exhausted,” remembered Crystal. The two had a plan to look for Fynn. They printed up flyers with Fynn’s picture along with contact numbers. The next morning they went back to Kemptville arriving at around 7 a.m. They

took bicycles and biked out along the east side of County Road 44 from the college area to the railway tracks that run under Highway 416. But they had no luck. The next step was to go door to door asking if anyone had seen or encountered Fynn. They went back to Kemptville with friends to help them and began talking to store owners, and people in the street. They put up more signs and handed out flyers. They even contacted all of the veterinarian clinics in the area and went out into the countryside stopping at farms and asking about Fynn. Despite

all of that work, there were no leads to be found. They included Facebook as one of their searching tools. “The response was overwhelming,” said Crystal. “People residing in Kemptville were altering their normal activities and were actively searching for Fynn. In this day and age, for perfect strangers to come out and help in a time of despair and urgency - it was just so overwhelming,” said Crystal. By Saturday morning, July 3, there was still no luck. Two hundred more flyers had been placed in mailboxes on the west side of Highway 416. Then they received a call. “Someone had spotted Fynn at the Kemptville College,” she said. Jamie found Fynn lying about 50 feet from the same tree we sat under on Canada day. “He was so exhausted all he could do was wag his tail,” said Crystal. “Fynn had bug bites all over his face and scratches on his nose and between two of his rear claws. With so much land to cover and so many places he could have gone, he came back to where he started and that in itself is amazing.” The happy ending suited Fynn, Gideon, Crystal and Jamie just Pat McGahey fine. Broker of Record “In the end, so many friends, strangers and the Kemptville 613-762-3416 community came together to find one little puppy. It really makes you feel good that people do care and reaffirms our faith in humanity,” said Crystal.

The North Grenville council cleared the air for residents of Burritts Rapids last week as they nixed the idea of carrying out a survey that would have considered whether or not the small community by the Rideau River should receive heritage status. The issue of a heritage designation first aired at the special traveling council meeting that North Grenville convened in Burritt’s Rapids. The council wanted to sound out residents about the idea of a survey regarding declaring their village as a heritage conservation district. Residents felt that they had not had enough time to consider the idea of heritage designation and the survey at this time might be premature. The July 5 meeting of the council back in Kemptville was an ideal time for residents to prepare a response to the council’s initial idea of the survey. Councillor Tim Sutton told the residents assembled at the council meeting that the survey and the idea of a heritage designation was not one that the council wanted to “shove down their throats.” Forbes Symon, the director of planning for North Grenville, added, “I do not think there was any intention to force anything on anybody.” He added that he felt that the information

to be undone. The council decided that a survey right now was premature. They told staff to look into finding out from the City of Ottawa what they thought of the idea, considering that a heritage area would include a part of Ottawa. The mayor asked the planning staff to come back to the council with more information probably for the fall and an information meeting for residents would be held. Councillor Terry Butler suggested that if the heritage issue were to become a planning issue then the solutions might be different. Councillor Barb Tobin agreed that there is concern about the streetscape and what can be done to protect it.

meeting for Burritts Rapids residents was sincere and it was very interesting to hear the comments. Mayor Bill Gooch was quick to explain his position to residents. “I believe in the right of individuals to do what they want with their property,” he said. He added that he did not understand why anyone would want to designate the entire island as a heritage area. “I do not support a heritage designation,” he said. There were several residents of Burritts Rapids who came to the meeting to ask questions and explain their concerns about the survey and an eventual heritage designation. Patrick Gonneau brought a petition to the council. The petition had around 397808-28-10 40 names. “We went to quite a few people,” he said. “They were not in favour of a heritage designation.” Mr. Gonneau wondered if a secondary plan could be used to look after the majority of resident’s concerns. “I thought it was a really good idea to take a walk around and ask about it,” said Gonneau. The concern with residents was that once declared as a heritage area, it would be difficult for that decision

Staples arrival marks new era
Third annual photo walk
Sometimes when you are waiting for something to happen you can forget that the waiting is only the distance between the beginning and the arrival of what has caused all that fuss. The specter of economic growth in North Grenville has teased at least two terms of councillors. It has created debate and concern among all players in the game of making a profit in Kemptville. Most people have gotten used to the sound of the economic train that has been driving towards their town and year after year the sound of the commercial engine has been constant. Staples arrived in Kemptville Saturday morning, July 10. Last Saturday, the roundabout at the entrance to the Colonnade Development was busy as cars turned into the site and then into the Staples parking lot. The Staples store was opening. The first of an avalanche of new businesses at the site, Staples’ arrival heralds the keeping of a promise by not only the people at Colonnade but the municipality. While Staples cannot be compared to the second coming or even the Montreal Canadian winning the Stanley Cup, they are a crucial and an important piece of the puzzle that is Kemptville. With Staples opening its doors there are 22 more jobs in the area than there were before. There is also more of a reason to skip driving into Ottawa or Brockville to pick up what you need. There is still great competition in the area for Staples and residents will be the ones to come out ahead in the end. In a time when economic development is often no more than wind passing you by with lots of talk and little substance, the arrival of Staples in Kemptville is a promise kept. The bad news is that local business in downtown Kemptville may feel a bit nervous about losing what trade the do have in Old town Kemptville. Competition anywhere is always a test for established business close by and while Staples will not challenge any grocery stores or car dealerships it does signal to everyone that business is moving forward and Kemptville is about to experience the kind of growth that a town or village only experiences every decade or so.

Heritage is not one size fits all The term “heritage conservation” seems to be popping up almost every day in North Grenville. Some people are advocating for heritage designation on some of the North Grenville’s surplus buildings while others around Burritts Rapids are fighting a possible heritage conservation district placed on their area. All this talk of heritage conservation – both on buildings and in Burritts Rapids – seemed to surround me throughout the weeks leading up to my vacation. When I left for holidays in early July, it didn’t occur to me that stepping outside of North Grenville would give me a different perspective on the issue. Sometimes, placing a heritage conservation district on a community can help. But in the end, it’s really not a “one size fits all” issue. While on vacation I visited my hometown, Niagara Falls. The city is known for more than its waterfalls and for being a typical tourist trap. It seems as if wherever you go around the region, it has a fascinating

KRISTY WALLACE history dating back before European settlement. While I was visiting I went to Niagara-on-the-Lake – an old town that was recognized in 1986 as a provincial heritage conservation district and in 2004, federally designated a national historic district. Every building in the old town must follow a strict code – even a nearby Shopper’s Drug Mart is designed to fit in with the buildings, some dating back to the American Revolution and War of 1812. Houses, bed and breakfasts and hotels either follow these same codes or they are in restored buildings that are more than 200 years old. And people love it. While working as a summer student down by the falls, I would always tell people to visit Niagara-on-theLake.

had nothing bad to say. Even the residents don’t seem to mind living there. While it gives off an historic feel, businesses are booming during the summer. Those who want to get away from the typical tourist attractions of Niagara Falls can step back in time in this heritage district – and enjoy a glass of good wine while they’re there. For the Niagara region, it just works. A heritage conservation district is just another piece to the puzzle. Eventually, Burritts Rapids residents will be filling out surveys sent to them by the municipality on whether or not they want their community designated as heritage. It’s been made clear that people either love the idea or hate it. In the end, the community - and the municipality - needs to answer an important question. Is a heritage designation in Burritts Rapids inappropriate for the community, or is it a missing piece of the puzzle?

More heat than this can cause the volatile oils in the lavender to evaporate. Check the mixture a few times to ensure the heat is staying in the proper range. Strain the mixture through cheesecloth into a clean pot, or into a bottle for storage. The mixture is now an herb infused oil. Measure the amount of infused oil, and add the

Most gardens have a patch of lavender tucked into one corner or another. The soothing aroma, the soft velvety feel and its ease of growth make it a very popular plant for any type of garden. It can be used as edging, in borders, as a small hedge, or in rock gardens. It is especially nice when it is in easy reach of the back door where the fragrance can be released by a quick touch. Lavender is an herb that comes from India, the Canary Islands, and the Mediterranean regions, and has grown for thousands of years in these sunny climates. Ancient Romans used lavender in their bath water, and since the Latin lava means ‘to wash’, the plant was given the name lavendula, or Lavender. They brought lavender to their farthest outposts, and thus began the spread of lavender around the world. Monks in Britain grew lavender in their monastic gardens, perfumers in France as far back as the 17th century grew lavender for their perfumes, and it was carried in nosegays to ward of pestilence and plague in cities all over Europe. Today many types of lavender can be found including Lavandula angustifolia, Lavandula x intermedia, Lavandula lantana, and many other varieties. The flowers of lavender can be white, pink, red, and the well known bluish purple. Many varieties can be grown as perennials in our Zone 5 climate, but check the labels at the nursery, as there are many others that need to be in Zone 7 or higher to overwinter successfully. Alternately a tender variety can be brought indoors for the winter, and planted in the garden again in the spring. The lavender in your garden is a very versatile herb and all of the varieties have medicinal, culinary, and/or perfumery applications. One of the easiest items to make using your lavender flowers is a balm. Lavender balm is a great item to have on hand, as lavender is an excellent remedy for burns and stings, and it’s antibacterial properties help heal cuts and scrapes. The oil in the salve is mois-

turizing which make it good for soothing faces that are dried by the wind, and softening rough chapped hands. The base of all balms is infused oil. Most oils will work for this, including olive, sesame, almond, grape seed, coconut, and safflower. Each oil has its own properties, but for a first batch, any oil you have on hand will work. There are only three ingredients for home made lavender balm; lavender flowers, oil, and beeswax. They are mixed at a basic ratio of one ounce of dried flowers to one cup of oil to one ounce of beeswax. The flowers can be picked just when they open to be at their most effective, but any time the flowers are open will be fine. The flowers need to be dried for 24 hours before using to evaporate any excess water. Harvest the sprigs in the early morning, brush off any dirt or debris and hang in small bunches to dry in a cool dark place. Alternately, spreading on trays or screens in a cool dark place is also good.

Using lavender from your garden
The Accidental Farmwife: Holy Heat wave, Batman I’m going to do something typically Canadian, and talk about the weather. It’s something we all have in common, after all. The weather unifies us. Last week sure was a scorcher, huh? A real recordbreaker. Over the last few summers, since I became the Farmwife, we haven’t had much heat. It has been cool, gloomy and wet. The hay has been crap as a result. We were due for a hot summer. Like the summers of our youth. Like many people my age, I grew up without air conditioning. We did have a monstrous square fan, however, that sat on the floor at the end of the hallway in our two-bedroom bungalow on George Street. I would sit in front of it and sing into it, entertaining myself for hours with the robotic voice that emerged. If it was unbearably hot, one could always retreat to the dark, cool basement.
The jingling of bells coming down the street sent us running for Mom’s purse. “The ice cream man is coming!!” We have air conditioning in the farmhouse, but we aren’t fond of it, normally. We have been fond of it lately. That and the standing pool (too small for swimming) is keeping us alive, I think. It’s nature’s cruel joke that this heat wave has been perfect haying weather. I am equal parts relieved and feeling guilty that the task of bringing in the hay is really a one-man job. I don’t think I would last long if we were stacking square bales on the wagon and transferring them up to a hot loft in the barn. Thank goodness for round bales. But the Farmer spent a good two days bringing those up from the field all by himself, without many breaks, because the sky threatened to dump rain on what looks like a delicious

thing in the morning to wrestle 40-kg bags of feed while kicking my legs and shaking my head in a strange mosquito-repelling dance. The chicks are getting to the age where they peck at my legs if I take too long struggling with the bag string, however, so this job may also get passed over to the Farmer soon. I don’t like being hen-pecked. The cows can always be found in the old log barn during the heat of day. They pack all four of themselves in that one tiny 8’ x 10’ stall, where it is dark and cool and the bugs don’t seem to bother them. I see four sets of eyes peering at me through the slats as I pass by. The kittens lie flat out on the deck of the swimming pool. They appear to be boneless, like furry puddles. Occasionally they dip one paw in the pool and raise it to the mouth. The horse and donkey roll on

The horse flies have left their mark on her. I am having trouble convincing her that bug spray is nothing to fear. The squirting startles her. I will have to spray citronella on a cloth and rub it on her underbelly, where she is bitten the most. The Farmer broke his shears after the second sheep this year, so most of our herd is still wandering around in full wool. Poor things. They pant like dogs and lie beside the water trough, under the shade of the tree. Yes, it’s hot. But you won’t hear us complaining. My fall flowers are already beginning to bud, reminding us that cooler weather is just around the corner. Much cooler.

Just last month six local mayors and about 30 business people from the Thousand Islands and greater region spent between two and three weeks in China – their mission - economic development. Back in Canada and over their jet lag the members of the expedition are excited and thoughtful about the experience and the reality they discovered in China. “They have done an awesome job of coming into the 21st century,” said Terry Cowan, co-owner of The Cove in Westport and a member of the delegation. The mission, organized by Frank Kinsella, mayor of Leeds and the Thousand Islands as a follow-up to the friendship agreement signed with the Chinese Thousand Islands region, was by all accounts a great success. The delegation included private business owners, educators and elected officials some of whom already have relations with China and others who are

Mayor Doug Struthers returns from China arrival in Shanghai. It was the most sophisticated, advanced airport I’ve ever been in and you’d swear it was in the most developed country,” said Cowan. For most of the Canadian delegates the sheer enormity of the population, its density and the level of building activity was well remarked. “The incredible number of people that moved about in such a strategically organized fashion was amazing,” said Merrickville-Wolford Mayor Doug Struthers who was among the six local mayors that

spent five days in Beijing (population 22 million) before heading to Shanghai (population 20 million) to be joined by the rest of the delegation. Everyone commented that the infrastructure was unbelievable, with highways that would compete with the German autobahn, and endless vistas of skyscrapers, which were in many cases apartment buildings. “The infrastructure was mindboggling,” said Cowan. The other significant comment was that construction activity was almost frenetic and constant, with massive cranes dotting the skyline in every direction. From a tourism perspective, both Mayors Struthers, Kinsella and private owner Cowan agreed there are definite opportunities for tapping the huge Chinese tourism market with niche advertising while recognizing and learning to accommodate the tourist’s needs. “I think there is potential for joint tourism opportunities,” said Cowan, not least because the delegation of elected offi-

cials and business folk were able to garner a great deal of good will with their gracious hosts. Still there is a lot more to do. “What we need to do is collect an inventory of our tourism destinations and market accordingly,” said Kinsella. “They want to invest here, but they’re looking for a summary of potential investment.” By comparison the Chinese Thousand Island region, which is situated on a manmade lake, is designed for voyeur travelers rather than active participants. “There’s no access to the lake, other than through carefully placed resorts, and then only from the docks which are not particularly conducive to swimming. There were no leisure boats or jet skis,” said Cowan. In spite of which there is considerable optimism that the Canadian Thousand Islands and surrounding region could be the contrast that would attract Chinese adventure seekers. “We’re well positioned to be a destination of choice,” concluded Struthers.

interested in exploring new relations. “We are already active in China,” said Chris Whitaker, president and CEO of St. Lawrence College. “So I was interested in new opportunities for the college and certainly have a number of follow-up activities to pursue now. We’ve already set up meeting with our Brockville campus to plan tours for students and their parents from China,” he said from his Kingston office. Brockville in particular was looking for business opportunities in China and city officials have said they now have five or six solid leads to pursue following this trip. “I knew they [the Chinese] wanted to talk to Canadian business people, and our people needed to see where China is, in terms of development,” said Kinsella. The mission achieved most of its goals not least of which was to give those who hadn’t been there before a whole new appreciation for the sleeping dragon. “My first impression was on

Townhouse and retail developments are becoming a reality in North Grenville. Two public meetings at the end of June have resulted in re-zoning which will allow a townhouse development to move into its second phase and for retail development on Sanders Street. The bylaws were passed on a late June council meeting held at the North Grenville Municipal Centre. After notice was given to residents in the areas, Senior Planner Phil Gerrard said there were no objections from the community. The first zoning amendment was for lands within the eQuinelle subdivision in the former Oxford-onRideau Township. The proposed subdivision would be on 169 hectares of land and would have 420 units. The land fronts County Road 44 and River Road.
The land is actually starting its second phase of development, but the developer wanted to ensure the zoning of the lands was correct before moving on to this stage. The former bylaw said that the land was only to be used for single detached housing, but there was a need to have a mix of housing options for marketing purposes. Josh Kardish, a planner for eQuinnelle Homes Inc., was at the public meeting and said having a mix of residences on the land will be beneficial to the municipality. He said he has already received positive feedback from some members of the public. “We’re not squeezing them in there,� said Kardish. “We’ve been received very well and sales have been good.� In addition, a small piece of a golf course is also being re-zoned and will be added to the land. Another public meeting
was held regarding 415 Sanders Street. With no objections, council passed a bylaw allowing 415 Sanders Street to be used for retail purposes. North Grenville’s Official Plan designates the area “downtown commercial,� meaning that the lands all along Sanders Street can be used for future retail development. While areas of Kemptville’s downtown have been zoned for retail, a business in the downtown core will also be closing. Mayor Bill Gooch announced that Caicco’s Bistro on Prescott Street will be closing its doors. “It has supported many charities,� said Gooch. “We wish Andy Caicco the best of luck. It’s a shame he’s closing.� At an upcoming meeting, council will hold a public meeting for another new subdivison on the horizon - the Pine Hill Subdivision.

Sports Karate team holds annual golf tournament joe.morin@metroland.com
When people say that Kemptville athletes compete around the world they are correct. A group of karate enthusiasts who practice their skills at Douvris Martial Arts in Kemptville are getting ready to head off to the world championships in Portugal. Eight Douvrais students have joined forces to form the Kemptville Karate Team. Practicing for the championship is one thing but finding a way to fund the trip is another. That is where the North Grenville and Kemptville business communities have come in to support the team. Along with businesses showing their support, the team has also been backstopped by the Kinsmen Club of Kemptville. On Sunday, June 27 the team took part in a fundraising golf tournament held at the Rideau Glen Golf Course. This was the fourth annual tournament for the team. It was a huge success for the young karate enthusiasts, their families and supporters. With perfect weather on their side, 72 golfers took over the club’s 18 - hole course. An estimated $6,000 is expected to have been raised. There was a chance for good golfing but there were also many prizes up for grabs. One tantalizing challenge was to sink a hole-in-one on par 3. Although a few golfers landed on the green close to the hole, no one was able to sink the ball. The gun-shot opening started at 10 a.m. and the last of the golfers made it in by shortly after 3:30 p.m. Dinner and prizes being awarded followed the day of golfing. A silent auction was also a main feature of the day with many interesting articles donated by local merchants from North Grenville, Merrickville, Ottawa,
Kanata and surrounding areas. The contributions were overwhelming, according to organizers, and were certainly appreciated by the Kemptville Karate Team Canada. There were items from games to paintings, Ottawa Senators tickets, gift certificates, work tools and more. The organizing committee was thrilled by the support from local businesses who allowed the committee to put their signs up and helped out in so many other ways. The Kinsmen Club of Kemptville sponsored a 50/50 Draw for Kemptville Karate Team Canada and tickets were sold in advance of the event. The draw was made at the dinner, and the winner of $1,000 was Christine Guay of Ottawa. Team Canada would like to thank the Kinsmen and all those who purchased and helped to sell these tickets especially Jacob Wood and other team members who set up tables in the mall. Glen Greer, MC for the day, thanked all the golfers and guests who attended this event and awarded prizes to the golfers. Prizes awarded were for: Best Team – The team of Philip Coates and Jeff Leman. Most Honest Team – Johnny V’s team who actually went into the water to get the shot. Longest drive – men – Mike Munroe (two years in a row); longest drive - women – Karen Brûle, closest to the pin – men – Zach Morgan; closes to the pin – women – Karen Wood; and the winner of the putting contest, Sensei Ray Richards. The facilities at the golf course were excellent as was the wonderful dinner, thanks to the manager and staff of the Rideau Glen Golf Course. This fundraising golf tournament is part of the continuing Kemptville Karate Team Canada campaign. Since Douvris Martial Arts, Kemptville opened its doors 13 years ago in July 1997 it has strived to produce some of the best karate members in the world. Sensei Earl
Horvath, owner entered the 1999 World Champions in Germany and his first eligible student, Jamie Baker, joined him in 2001 to make a trip to Vienna. Every year since there has been at least one student representing Kemptville in these championships. This year eight of their students will be representing Canada in Portugal in their respective categories for the hopes of coming home with a world medal. These accomplishments are due not only to the hard work of the karate students, but also the wonderful Senseis who give so much of themselves to provide superior coaching and mentoring skills. Sensei Earl Horvath (Coach) and Sensei Ray Richards (both 4th Dan black belts) are the two main instructors. The Kemptville Douvris Martial Arts Centre now boasts over 30 black belts (Junior, Senior, 2nd Dan, 3rd Dan and 4th Dan) training with the club and helping other students to obtain their goals. Kemptville Karate Team Canada is an arms length organization of Douvris Martial Arts, and is comprised of club members and parents who help realized the participants’ goals by helping raise funds to support them in their sport. Team members train very hard every week, not only in regular classes but special sparring classes. These students compete at various venues during the year and must place not only at the provincial level but also place within the top three at nationals. Although the team members change year to year, the committee members are always looking for ways 397808-28-10 to offset the cost of travelling around the world. A garage sale and BBQ is planned later this summer as the teams final fund raiser, and donations big or small are always welcomed. This year Kemptville Karate Team Canada
members consist of: Megan Wheatley, Jacob Wood, Morgan, Brandan and Valetta Hudson, Elyse Gorrell, Danielle Gorrell and Chenoa Cassidy-Matthews. Douvris would like to thank the committee members Valetta Hudson, Karen Brûle, Karen Wood as well as all other parents and supporters who all deserve accolades for the hard work and dedication they put into this successful fundraising day.

Merrickville Cruise and Shop celebrates 10 years
A. Morin Photos
There were cars of all kinds in Merrickville on July 11 as the village celebrated along with car show organizers the 10th anniversary of the Merrickville Cruise and Shop Show. The warm weather was perfect for visitors to the show and what once was a special event years ago has become a tradition in Merrickville.
Make This Summer Season a Safe One
Restrict Access to Your Backyard Pool

* Turn off the pump. Injuries have occurred across the country when children get stuck to filter intake sources. While many of these injuries occurred in larger, commercial pools, accidents can still occur at home. Turn off the filter for safety’s sake when the pool is in use.
Even non-fatal drownings can be dangerous. Brain damage can occur from when a person is denied oxygen for prolonged periods. That is why pool safety should be an utmost priority this season.
* Learn CPR. If a person does become injured in a pool, prompt commencement of CPR can help clear the airways and revive an individual. Sign up for a class in your area.
Swim in safe areas only. It’s a good idea to swim only in places that are supervised by a lifeguard. Swimming in an open body of water is different from swimming in a pool. You need more energy to handle the currents and other conditions. Don’t panic and don’t fight the current. Swim with the current, gradually trying to make your way back to shore as you do so.
* Prevent falls around the pool. Encourage swimmers to walk around the pool perimeter, not run. Otherwise they could trip and fall.
* Remove enticing toys. Children may be drawn to floats or toys remaining in a pool. Take them out of the water when the pool is not being used.
Always Swim with a Buddy
* Be careful at the Water Park. OK, so you do more splashing than swimming, but it’s just as important to know your skill level at the water park as it is at the pool. Take a moment to read warnings and other signs. The pool and the beach are great places to learn new skills, socialize, and check out everyone’s new beach toy. So don’t let paying attention to safety turn you off. Now go have fun!

MC - Swimming is a popular pastime when it is hot outside -- providing good exercise and keeping you cool. However, on average 4,000 water-related injuries occur every year. Many of them are related to swimming and boating. One in four fatal drownings is a child under the age of 14.
* Learn to swim. Enroll the family in a certified swimming course. Not only will you learn the basics of swimming, you can learn techniques to stay afloat and save someone’s life.

More money needed for long term care
LAST IN A FOUR PART SERIES
By Mike Adler and Rob O’Flanagan
T
he answer to gridlock across Ontario’s longterm care system is an injection of new money, elder advocates say. For nursing-home operators, a top priority is the fulfillment of a long-standing promise from the province to fund more staff. Ontario’s Health Quality Council, a watchdog agency, sees more assisted-living homes as a potential pressure relief valve for overwhelmed nursing homes. For thousands of Ontario families battling the system’s long waiting lists and cumbersome bureaucracy, any relief measure would do. “I think the first thing that is needed are more homes,” Denise Riekstins of Toronto wrote in a typical e-mail response during research for Metroland’s special report. “The waiting lists are ridiculous, especially for newer homes. I also think that more thought should go into how to improve home care, maybe make it more affordable, so the person can stay in their home as along as possible. Institutional homes are certainly not like home.” Health Minister Deb Matthews says quality improvements are taking hold now in all nursing homes, with a focus on reducing traditional health risks such as falls and bed sores. Efforts to make more home care available as an alternative are in progress under a $1.1-billion program created in 2007. More short-stay beds are being created, to help reduce the number of seniors placed permanently in long-term care. Such “restorative” beds, as Matthews calls them, allow elderly people with short-term needs to be placed temporarily
in nursing-home beds to regain their health, and then go home. But what exactly has to happen to produce real change? “I think more time,” Matthews said. “I mean, it does take time to change a system.” Christina Bisanz, CEO of the Ontario Long Term Care Association, believes in a conversion that would see nursing homes become a “hub” for all types of care. With the right kind of planning, she says, Ontario’s existing 625 homes could feature day programs for the frail elderly who have dementia or chronic diseases, “to help them to live in the community as long as possible.” Bisanz said nursing homes can become “more than just the residence where 24-7 care is given.” In some Ontario long-term care homes, that’s already happening. At Shalom Village in Hamilton, residents pump iron to help maintain functional mobility. Shalom’s health-club concept was originally regarded skeptically by potential funding bodies, said Pat Morden, the home’s chief executive. A longterm care home is traditionally viewed as a place of restful care. That’s changing. Experts in the field of gerontology say such workouts help prevent falls and other debilitating mishaps, and can also improve cognitive ability. Benefits flow to the home and the resident. Attitudes about what longterm care settings should be like and what services they should offer are changing rapidly. Researchers are looking at ways to incorporate brain-benefiting music classes and computer games, and body-strengthening practices such as yoga and tai chi, into daily routines to make the final years of life more rewarding, positive and healthier. Morden has witnessed the ca-
pacity of activities such as music to reactivate mind and spirit. One resident who had a musical background but was debilitated by Parkinson’s and dementia began to participate in the home’s long-standing drum circle. He hadn’t spoken for two years. “He was in the drum circle and he was drumming, and he was sobbing,” Morden said. “He just sobbed and sobbed. And then gradually he took over the leadership of the drum circle. That’s the magic, to find those moments for people, at some level.” Demands on long-term care in Ontario are mounting as the population ages, and as a more affluent and informed population demands better care and more services. Expectations of long-term care
have steadily increased in recent decades, said Dominic Ventresca, director of seniors services for Niagara, who oversees eight municipally run homes. Residents who grew up during the Depression were content with “a bed and a meal,” and an occasional visit from a doctor or nurse, Ventresca said. Ontarians now expect care that is above that base level, Ventresca and others said, with a greater selection of meals and activities, and more timely service — not just having nursing or personal support available, but having it delivered in a timely way, such as more frequent changing of diapers and other incontinence products. Gerry Phillips, Ontario minister responsible for seniors said that the province is also encouraging development of tech-
nology — from high-tech pushbutton devices to summon help or monitor health, to low-tech kitchen sinks people in wheelchairs can use — that could help seniors stay home longer. As demand for senior-friendly devices grows, Phillips said, costs should go down. In a decade, the first of the baby boom generation will hit 75. By 2036, the number of Ontarians 75 and over will rise to 2.2 million, from 850,000 today. Seniors will outnumber children in the future, and one might expect that a scramble to build as many new nursing homes as possible would be under way. But that’s not what the province is doing, contrary to what some experts on the elderly advise. Indeed, the focus is on aging in place. Ontario elder advocate Doris Grinspun said Scandinavia incorporates the elderly into dayto-day life, and embraces them as vibrant members of the community. Every senior in Denmark gets a phone call at 75. “Happy Birthday!” says the nurse on the line. “We’d like to discuss how to help you stay in your house as long as you want.” Grinspun, cochair of the Elder Health Coalition, an adviser to the province of Ontario since 2004, said “we haven’t made enough progress” on helping seniors age gracefully at home, and there’s no time to waste. In many places, small steps and shifts in attitude are inching toward a future where it’s intended that most Ontarians won’t need a nursing-home bed, no matter how long they live. Long-term care in Ontario is undergoing “total renovations,” and elder advocates Concerned Friends of Ontario Citizens in Care Facilities said it is pleased with the province’s new patientcentred direction, said Phyllis Hymmen, the group’s president. “There’s a lot of encouraging things happening,” she said, adding people are still afraid of what the future may be like, “but increasingly less so.”

IN MEMORIAM
We want to sincerely thank all those that played a role in Eric’s life these past 17 years. Its this role that made him into the genuine and unique individual he was in life and remembered as such forever in our hearts. First thank you to the paramedics, firemen, nurses, and doctors that tried to save Eric’s life. Thank-you to those that attended Eric’s wake and funeral and for those that sent cards, wrote personal letters to us, posted comments on his Facebook page and created the ‘In Memory of Eric Gutknecht’ facebook page. Thank you to those that made donations to Eric’s favourite charities, the flowers, gifts, food and baked goodies. Thank you to all of our friends, current and former employees at CRA who came to visit or called. Friends will always remember friends! Thank you to the teachers at both NGDHS and KPS for paying their respects and painting the real picture of who Eric truly was. A big hug to those that created the memorial ribbons and wore them in his memory at the prom, and to each and every friend that brought a rose to the prom and subsequently had them delivered to our home. Thank you to the pall bearers Cameron Turcotte, Dave Maki, Jon Marshall, Mike Streight, Ben Ramsdale and Scott Thompson. This must have been an honour for you but we know it must also have been painfully difficult. To Pastor Peggy Hudson, thank you for a beautiful service and send off to heaven for our precious boy. The music was simply outstanding and your message quite real and comforting. Thank you to Eric’s brother in law Chris Griffiths who was able to maintain his composure in delivering our final eulogy. Thank you to our family who took care of so many arrangements (most notably the after funeral gathering and luncheon). To our beautiful daughter who during her own mourning of her brothers accidental passing was able and continues to hold us both upright. Please continue to visit the In Memory of Eric Gutknecht’s facebook page, post comments, call and visit us as we try to mend our broken hearts. If all of Eric’s friends is a ‘random’ sample of who will lead our country in the future, we truly are in good hands.
Love Billy/Valerie & Elizabeth
