The 2010 North Grenville Terry Fox Run for Cancer Research, held on Sunday, Sept. 19, enjoyed great weather and a healthy turnout. More than 212 runners registered for the 30th anniversary run and close to $16,000 was raised. In this photo the race kicks off with cancer survivor Josh McKenney leading the way on his bicycle.

KOUGARS WIN BIG The Kemptville Kougars recently finished their under 13 girls soccer tournament undefeated - beating area teams as well as provinicial teams. 16

The weather was perfect and the mood was right for the 30th anniversary Terry Fox Run for Cancer Research in Kemptville. Two hundred and twelve runners left from the old Kemptville fire station on Sunday morning. By the end of the afternoon all

of the runners, who walked, ran and biked one of the various routes came back with pledges totaling $15,938.50. “We did very well on the run,” said organizer Debbie MacDougall. There were more than 30 volunteers who helped make the run possible. “It was great,” said MacDougall. “All of the volunteers cheered all of the runners

as they came back in.” This Terry Fox Run for Cancer celebrated 30 years in Ontario. The run also featured a few new ideas. This year crossing guards were added to the run to help runners get across some streets. The North Grenville Ham Radio Operators Club helped out while people such as Cory Arcand supplied a tent to hold the regis-

tration in. Harry Pratt was the master of ceremonies and Kevin Render provided great warm up music. Giant Tiger and Jonsson’s Your Independent Grocer provided the refreshments at each stop. MacDougall said that the municipality helped a great deal. See TERRY page 6

A new planned subdivision running alongside the Kemptville Creek is one step closer to becoming a reality, but neighbours still have questions about the vacant piece of land sitting across from Holy Cross School. A few familiar faces were seen at a recent North Grenville council meeting that discussed the draft conditions set by the developer, Novatech Engineering Consultants Ltd. These conditions were the result of some of these same neighbours who voiced their opinions at the public meeting in August concerning the land. Considering the concerns people had at the August meeting, director of planning and development Forbes Symon highlighted some of the draft conditions for the subdivision which will feature 40 duplexes and townhouses. One of the issues property owners addressed was fencing. “With this situation, the developer would approach property owners of where the fence would go and what kind of fence it would be,” said Symon. He also acknowledged the concerns residents expressed with drainage and grading, and said the owner will submit a plan of drainage and grading to the municipality and county. He added that a

of fence they want to see – for example a cedar hedge, picket fence or keep it natural vegetation,” said Symon. “But it must be to our satisfaction and we oversee to make sure it’s fair.” Langlois said she hasn’t been contacted yet by the developer about trees being replaced on the property, and wanted to make sure there will be a dialogue between the developer and neighbours regarding the fencing. Langlois also asked

what kind of housing the new subdivision would include. “In the planning rationale that was prepared by Novatech, there was a reference to it being affordable housing,” said Langlois. “But I understand that it isn’t affordable housing. So if the development isn’t affordable housing, why was it in planning rationale?” Symon and the developer, who was also present at the meeting, weren’t sure of the affordable hous-

ing reference but told Langlois they would look into it.“I’m not disputing the need for affordable housing,” she said. “I’m just wondering about the intent.” Finally Langlois asked a question related to how this new subdivision would maintain the rural character of the Kemptville Creek – which is one of the objectives in the Kemptville Creek Watershed Plan. see PARK page 18

traffic impact statement would be done on Clothier Street West, in addition to a requirement that there be parkland in the subdivision. Resident Cynthia Langlois came to microphone during a period for questions from the public and had three main concerns. The first concern she brought to the table was the policy for fencing. “In the initial plan of subdivision, I believe Mr. Symon said that fencing would be on either side of the western and eastern portions and it would be four-foot fencing,” said Langlois. “And this evening, I understand fencing would have to be negotiated with the developer?” Symon said the developer will be consulting with neighbours to determine what kind of fencing they would like to see. “It’s a condition we oversee as a discussion between the neighbours and developers to make sure they get the type of screening or fencing they wish to have,” said Symon. Langlois asked if that means that the municipality is accountable to make sure that discussion happens. Symon said the condition for fencing states that the fencing or screening on east and west boundaries of the subdivision must live up to the municipality’s satisfaction. “To achieve that, the developer has to sit down and ask the neighbour what kind

COMMUNITY

EDITORIAL

Get out and vote At the municipal level in a small community like North Grenville, councillors are our friends, neighbours and our co-workers. Decisions made by these people lie at the heart of how we live our daily lives. It affects how we get to work in the morning. How fast we should drive on roads. How sewage will be treated and whether or not a subdivision will be built in our backyards. That’s why it’s so puzzling why voter turnouts are so low every time municipal election year rolls around. According to the municipality of North Grenville, only 39.3 per cent of eligible voters actually voted in 2006. Before that in 2003, it was 39.1 per cent. Before that in 2000, it was 40.6 per cent. These alarming statistics show that less than half of the North Grenville population who were eligible to vote actually got out and voted. The low voter turnout can be attributed to a number of things. People might say they’re too busy to vote and don’t have time. Others might say they’re not aware of the issues. With the voter age starting at 18, maybe a low level of youth engagement is another reason people aren’t getting out to the polls. These are all bad excuses. But for someone to say they don’t vote because they don’t care about municipal issues is not only a bad excuse – it’s also a lie. That would mean these people don’t care about their loved ones who might own a small business that could be destroyed when big box stores come to town. It would mean these people don’t care if their roads are plowed when we get those harsh Canadian winters, nor do they care about getting their lights turned back on when there’s a power outage.A lot of potential voters like to also use the excuse that their vote is one vote, and it doesn’t matter. But what’s been engrained in all of us – or should have been engrained in all of us – is that people died for us to have the right to vote. North Grenville is a community that’s filled with great minds, and the community won’t reach its full potential unless we get 100 per cent of those great minds having their say on Oct. 25.

OPP versus KFD The Ontario Provincial Police have accepted the challenge and picked up the gauntlet thrown down by the Kemptville Fire Department. Last week the Kemptville Fire Department challenged the O.P.P. to a paintball game at the Real Deal Paintball Park. The showdown has been planned for Sunday, October 3 at 10 a.m. The public is welcome and there is no admission. Firefighters have asked spectators to bring along a food donation for the food bank. The word on the street is that both services have been busy mapping out their strategy. Support your community while cheering for your favourite service.

LETTER

Long-term care is close to home It was with great interest earlier this summer, that I read your four part series “Situation Critical - the crisis in long term care.” I work as the activity programs and services director at a 98 bed long-term care home located in Winchester. As I read your articles, I could relate in many ways to your research and findings, and I agreed with many of the issues you presented, namely, lack of funding, training, space, and beds. I do query as to why when you were doing a focus on long-term care, why you didn’t do a little research in our own backyard? While many of the issues you mention are faced in homes like HillTop Manor in Merrickville, Bayfield Manor in Kemptville and Dundas Manor in Winchester, I believe you may have also got another look at what goes in these homes. All three of the above mentioned are what are called “stand alone” homes, which means they are

privately owned and operated. In Dundas Manor where I am employed, the same family owns it that built it 32 years ago. They are in the building every day and take an active role in ensuring our resident’s needs are met and the Bill of Rights is followed. The government recently released the new Long Term Care Act which reviewed all processes in the administration of care at all levels and departments in long term care. The new funding model MDS is forcing all staff to look at restoring residents’ abilities and ensuring all possible services and referrals are made to promote the best care possible. These are all positive steps in ensuring excellent care and a more resident-centred approach. I don’t know, maybe I am old fashioned and a bit naive, but I feel these local homes are jewels. They still have a small town feel where everyone looks out for each other.

Often the staff is caring for their former neighbor, teacher, or farmer they bought hay from. I know the hot topics in your paper right now are elections, subdivisions and zoning, the arrival of new buildings like the library and WalMart, all very current and important. But, every now and then perhaps you should head up to Bayfield and chat with some of the residents about what is going on with them, ask them to tell you how they knew when it was a good time to cut hay, or how to make raspberry preserves, or what the cost of their first car was. Ask them what they think about what qualities it takes to be an effective mayor, ask them where the government should focus their study on long-term care. Ask the local residents at Bayfield what they always liked about the Kemptville Advance, I think you will be glad you did. Jennifer Hill Kemptville

Woman falls from horse in Ferguson Forest

kristy.wallace@metroland.com

South Stormont resident Jacqueline Sears was rushed to hospital in serious condition on Sept. 15 after falling off a horse in Ferguson Forest - a popular area in Kemptville where people often ride their horses. Const. Cathy Lindsey said the OPP got a call shortly after 2 p.m. from an off-duty officer who reported Sears as injured. She was lying on a gravel portion in the forest. “She was found immobile and was having a hard time breathing,” said Lindsey. Around 2 p.m., North Grenville Mayor Bill Gooch spotted a horse with reins over its head off Highway 43 and caught it near the cemetery across from the forest. He immediately called the police knowing something was wrong. “It’s just logical,” said Gooch. “When you see a horse with

reins over its head, you can assume someone had fallen off.” Resident Chris Bitterhoff offered to look after the horse at the cemetery while Gooch and a resident, who refused to give his name, waited for the woman who had been riding with the injured female to come back to the scene to retrieve the horse named Shady. The woman, who only gave her name as Tammy, said she had been taking riding lessons with Sears for the past year or so. When the off-duty police officer arrived at the scene, Tammy went back to look after her friend. “I was praying she’d be OK,” said Tammy. She said Shady was known to be unpredictable although he generally likes to walk and has been a well-behaved horse. Gooch said it’s possible something could have spooked the

horse, like another animal. Police couldn’t confirm what the cause of the accident was. Gooch, Bitterhoff and the other resident helped bring Shady back to the horse’s trailer located in the forest where Tammy came to pick it up. While Gooch and the resident stopped traffic to help Bitterhoff and Shady cross Highway 43, two cars were involved in a fender bender. Lindsey, who was been a resident for 11 years, said this was the first time she had ever heard of something like this happening in North Grenville. Sears, 51, was rushed by ambulance to Kemptville District Hospital where she was then transported to a hospital in Ottawa.

Edwardsburgh-Cardinal

North Dundas

The township of Edwardsburgh-Cardinal enjoys having a bit of two worlds come together under one roof. The agricultural industry plays a prominent role in the township. While farming dominates the north end of Edwardsburgh-Cardinal, its south end includes the village of Cardinal and the St. Lawrence Seaway, the Port of Prescott and the popular County Road 2 tourist route that takes visitors from Montreal all the way west to Gananoque. The 2010 municipal election in Edwardsburgh-Cardinal will feature an interesting battle for the mayor’s chair between two political veterans. Councillor Bill Sloan is taking on Mayor Larry Dishaw for the mayor’s position at the council table. The township uses a ward system with two councillors looking after each ward. The council is made up of the mayor and six councillors. In the 2010 election there are two councillors who have decided they will not run again. Mayor:

Merrickville-Wolford Merrickville-Wolford is indeed “A Jewel of the Rideau”. The area is a tourist destination for most of this part of Ontario and northern New York State. It is governed by a mayor and six councillors. Since amalgamation, two members of council represent the Wolford Ward (the former Wolford Township), two members of council represent the Merrickville Ward (the former Village of Merrickville) and two members represent both wards as at large members. The current mayor is a resident of the Merrickville Ward and subsequently the deputy mayor is a resident of the Wolford Ward. The current municipal council was acclaimed during the last municipal election in 2006. This time around the only member of the council who has been acclaimed is Merrickville-Wolford Mayor Doug Struthers. There are 12 residents of Merrickville-Wolford who have decided to ask voters for a seat at the council table. Mayor Doug Struthers

KDH RAFFLE WINNER J. Morin Photo/Advance Staff

The Kemptville District Hospital held a special $10,000 draw. Last week the winner of the draw was announced. Angela Redmond bought her winning ticket at the North Grenville at the Races Night at Rideau Carleton Raceway. She has not made plans for her winnings other than to purchase a plaque for her grandfather who recently passed away at the hospital. Left to right are: Dermid O’ Farrell, Chair of the Kemptville District Hospital Foundation, Angela Redmond and Colin Goodfellow, hospital CEO. The early bird winner was picked on June 26 and was Sylvie Jonsson, who donated the money back to the hospital foundation.

The Township of North Dundas seems to have been enjoying its fair share of stability. The area has maintained a modest growth pattern that reflects a careful development strategy. Voters can choose from a variety of interesting platforms this time around including, more community input into local government through the use of committees as well as creating a strategy to deal with the gravel roads on the township just to name two. In the 2010 North Dundas municipal election, Mayor Alvin Runnalls, who is trying for a third term in office, is running against councillor Eric Duncan. Deputy Mayor Estella Rose, a veteran member of the North Dundas council, is up against Gerry Boyce of South Mountain for the deputy mayor position. Around the council table are incumbents Allan Armstrong and John Thompson. Taking them on are newcomers Doug Shirreffs, Wray Holmes, Tony Fraser and John Cayer.

Terry Fox Run in Kemptville From TERRY FOX on front The number of runners was up this year despite having to compete with the military run in Ottawa. The first Terry Fox Run took place in 1980. It was called the Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope. In 2009 thousands of people from across Ontario had pledged and donated $10.5 million to cancer research. North Grenville residents would eventually add

themselves to the list of 220 Terry Fox Runs that take place each September in Ontario. Over the past 30 years $500 million dollars has been raised for cancer research through the Terry Fox Foundation. Thanks to years of research Terry Fox, if diagnosed today ,would most likely not have had his leg amputated and his chance of survival would have been 80 per cent greater than in 1977.

I was never very good at hockey. Finally we get the sheep into the back room where we can open the door and bring a few out at a time into the gated area that acts as a chute. The Farmer approaches the pile of cowering sheep in the corner, grabs one by the scruff and straddles it. Then he holds his hand out to me and yells over the din, “Big one!” or “Little one!” depending on the size of his captive. I load up a needle with the pre-determined dosage of Ivomec and hand it to him. I have only stuck him once. Usually I stick myself. You know your needle hit the spot when the sheep does a little dance followed by a jump in the air. It’s like they are trying to shake off the sting. Then they squeeze out the chute door and start hollering for someone to commiserate with. See FARMWIFE page 20

A head-on collision in North Gower has left a man and woman in hospital with life-threatening injuries and two children under five who were left unharmed. The crash happened on Sept. 15 just before 4 p.m. on Roger Stevens Drive near North Gower, between McCordick and Malakoff roads. “When we arrived, the gentle-

man was already out of the vehicle which surprised us because he should have required extrication, but he somehow managed to free himself and get out,” said Marc Messier of Ottawa Fire Services. The male driver, who freed himself from his silver Acura, was airlifted to the trauma unit and was listed in critical condition with life-threatening chest and head injuries. Messier said it took about 45

minutes to get the female driver out of her Taurus while her children – both under five years-old and in car seats – were cut out of the car by an off-duty firefighter who came to help. The children were strapped in their car seats and were unharmed, but inspected by emergency medical services. “I would assume there was probably a lot of crying going on,” said Messier of the children. “They were young children

so they must’ve been scared.” Messier said the woman had broken arms, broken legs and internal injuries. Fire officials had to remove the doors and roof from her car, and use equipment to rip the dash away from her. She was rushed by ambulance to the Ottawa Civic Hospital’s trauma unit and the children were taken to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario to get looked at, according to emer-

Dress up and support breast cancer research KRISTY WALLACE kristy.wallace@metroland.com

Susan Faith-Lecoupe knew she had to do something when she realized how many people around her were affected by breast cancer. Her mom had a breast cancer scare in the spring. She later found out her aunt had had a double mastectomy. “I am not the type of person to sit by and do nothing,” said Lecoupe. “But when it comes to cancer, that’s what you have to do. It’s not the type of disease where you can donate blood or give an organ.” That’s why Lecoupe combined her love for Halloween – and her 30th birthday milestone – as a chance to host Haunted Happenings – A Costume Gala in support of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. “I thought, why not combine all three of them and do something special?” she said. With help and support from her colleagues in event co-ordinating and her employer, AJ’s Catering, she’s throwing the event on very little operating costs. “I’ve lucked out in the way of community support,” she said. “A lot of it is working with people I work with in the industry

and pulling in some favours.” Lecoupe has been promoting the event through Facebook, posters and through the website she has set up. She hopes to sell a minimum of 100 tickets at $20 each. But, the hall can hold up to 150 people. “I’ve gotten a lot of support from my friends and family,” she said. “Now it’s just getting the word out to the community and push ticket sales.” Lecoupe hopes to raise more than $2000, and the event will also feature a silent auction which she expects will add more to the amount of money raised. “Two thousand dollars is just a drop in the bucket unfortunately, but it’s better than zero dollars,” she said. In addition to the silent auction, Lecoupe said those who attend are encouraged to dress up for a Halloween costume contest, great food, door prizes and musical entertainment from Cornwall-based band Whiskey Sour. Plus, she has a few surprises in store. “I just want people to dress up, come out and have some fun,” she said. “And I couldn’t have picked a better location.” The gala will be held at the Howard Johnson hotel in Kemp-

tville, which she said will make an excellent setting for a Halloween gala. “It has a classic, dark Victorian feel to it,” she said. Lecoupe said she hopes to make it an annual event, but will use this year to determine what she plans for next year. Through all of the planning for this event, Lecoupe said her proud mother is also helping her out with the event. “She’s never been shy about her emotions, and she’s told me more in the last little while how proud of me she is,” said Lecoupe. In 2010, an estimated 23,200 women in Canada will be diagnosed with breast cancer, an increase of 500 from 2009. Tickets to the Haunted Happenings Gala are available online at: www.sellyourevents. com/hauntedhappenings.aspx Tickets can also be purchased at the Howard Johnson hotel or through Lecoupe by calling her at 613-258-9684. Her employer, AJ’s Catering in Metcalfe, will also be selling tickets and can answer any questions at 613-821-1445.

gency officials. A third car was involved in the collision but the driver wasn’t hurt. Messier can’t confirm if the road is known to be dangerous. “Road conditions were fine,” he said. “I don’t know as to who crossed over the line but it ended up as a head-on.” It’s unknown how fast the cars were going when the crash happened.

award from the CHL for being selected as the Combat/CHL Player of the Week by 73’s General Manager, Paul Brenton. Brenton stated that this is a significant award as it is voted on by the general managers of the other teams in the league. This means some of the voters felt that Curley played better than players on their own teams. However, the game did not proceed as Kemptville had hoped. After taking a 2-1 lead to the dressing room at the end of the first period, it looked great. Josh Pitt scored his first of the season followed by a beautiful short-handed effort by Ben Hutton for his first of the year. In the second, the Raiders scored twice and added one more in the third. Three of the four Nepean goals were scored on the powerplay. The 73’s suffered their first regulation loss of the season by a score of 4-2. On a warm Sunday afternoon, Kemptville welcomed the Brockville Braves to North Grenville. Before the game was ten minutes old, the Braves had scored three times to set the tone. After that outburst, both teams settled into fast, end to end hockey. Kemptville notched a powerplay goal late in the period to go into the first intermission down 3-1. The goal was scored by Jake Clark, his first of the season. The remainder of the game was played in much the same

The newly-minted CHL got a chance to show off its changes on the opening day of the CHL showcase at the Kanata Recreational Complex on Sept. 10 and the tworeferee system was front and centre. The idea was voted on in the offseason and was initiated as part of the league’s branding in May. Because all Hockey Canada regional and national events must by officiated by two referees, CHL president Kevin Abrams said instituting the system a year earlier helps everyone adjust before the Fred Page Cup comes to Kanata in 2012. “You’ve got to embrace change,” he said. “I see the benefits of it. I see that the positioning is better for the official and gives him the opportunity to make better calls.” Some feel the system isn’t without its wrinkles however. In the second period of the game between the Carleton Place Canadians and Cumberland Grads, Canadians defenceman Donovan Gardiner was given a holding penalty during a play along the end boards in the second period. The penalty was not called by referee Tom Sweeney, who was positioned in the in the zone, but instead by colleague at centre ice Bruce Gray. It’s because of examples such as that one that caused Canadians owner

and head coach Jason Clarke to vote against the idea in the offseason. “This isn’t the NHL,” he said. “We shouldn’t be wasting our budget on two refs.” Not knowing exactly what transpired on that play, Scott Loney said the call was probably made by the appropriate official. A 14-year official of CHL, Loney has worked games with two referees before, and said the official in the zone is supposed to watch happenings in front of the net, while the other one’s priority is the play in the corner. Plus, with the constant communication between periods, ensuring consistency usually isn’t a major concern. “For the most part, guys are able to adapt enough and see what the other guy is calling so they know whether their standard needs to be lowered or increased,” Loney said, who worked the Kanata StallionsKemptville 73’s game later that night. While Abrams recognized the additional expenses the league must incur to hire more referees, he said it is the perfect opportunity for the league to help develop more high-quality officials. He added another referee on the ice means more calls will be the correct one. Nepean Raider head coach and general manager Peter Goulet agrees. “I think it’s one of the best things we did all summer,” he said. “It helps get all the stuff behind the play. It eliminates a lot of cheap stuff and guys getting hurt.”

Park development still raises questions

From KEMPTEN page 3

Symon said her question would have been more appropriate to ask at the August public meeting before draft conditions had been made for the new subdivision. However, he said 98 per cent of the water line is rural and it will remain rural. “This portion of the Kemptville Creek is in the urban boundaries and it won’t stay rural,” said Symon. “When you look at the Kemptville Creek Watershed Study, it’s acknowledged that there’s a difference between urban and rural. The statement you’re making deals with the vast majority in the rural area but not in the urban area.”

Langlois said the objective of the watershed plan just said “rural character,” and she didn’t see any distinction. “The rural character to me means keeping housing at a low density,” said Langlois. “I understand Kempten Park is part of urban service area but wasn’t when I moved here and when other people did. So, the rural character will not be preserved.” Mayor Bill Gooch stepped in, and said that Langlois’ concerns had already been addressed by Symon. Once council took a look at the conditions for draft approval, it was sent to the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville.

The latest provincial educational testing showcases two area schools who are leading the way in helping their students excel. Teachers and staff from all Ontario school boards have risen to the challenge of finding a better way to build their students skills. The results of all that labour have paid off for two schools in the area, St. Michaels Catholic High School and Merrickville Public School. The Education Quality and Accountability Office, (EQAO) has released a report that details what was determined after Grade 9 testing was completed in mathematics along with the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test. The test was designed for English lan-

guage students. The goal of teachers is to be able to fine tune how they are teaching students, and find ways to quickly assess if their strategy is having the desired effect. The challenge behind the teaching strategy is that while the content of education may change from generation to generation, how children learn and how well they are able to effectively absorb, retain and use information is something educators are always trying to perfect. The test results indicate that the 27 schools involved in the EQAO testing have been able to demonstrate that their students are benefiting from the efforts of teachers and school staff to keep learning styles current and effective. The EQAO tests measure the success of those efforts.

At St. Michael Catholic High School the distinction of being recognized for producing students with increasingly better skill sets is becoming the norm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is an indication of our ability as a board to implement the strategy that is researched-based to improve the skills of our students,â&#x20AC;? said Jane McMillan, superintendent of school effectiveness at the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario. McMillan noted that Holy Cross Elementary public school in Kemptville has been enjoying great success in bringing the level of their studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; skills up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their results are outstanding,â&#x20AC;? she added. The superintendent attributed the testing results at St. Michael Catholic High School and right across her board to

the efforts of the teachers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our teachers are working very hard to give students more feedback and more frequently,â&#x20AC;? she said. She believes that giving children the skills to be able to do well at critical thinking, especially in

these modern times, is crucial to the childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success in an educational environment and beyond. St. Michael Catholic High School was used as a case study in the report as was Merrickville Public School. See SCHOOLS page 25

Leeds-Grenville unveils new marketing brand KRISTY WALLACE kristy.wallace@metroland.com

More than 150 people were at the North Grenville Municipal Centre to see the unveiling of a new interactive website and vibrant new marketing brand to attract regional investment. Launched by the LeedsGrenville Economic Development Office, Minister of State (Science and Technology) Gary Goodyear, Senator Bob Runciman, Member of Parliament Gord Brown and Warden Bill Thake were among those on hand for the product unveiling held recently at the centre. “Our new logo and Invest website are important tools and part of our overall economic development action plan,” said United Counties of Leeds and Grenville Warden Bill Thake.

“The website gives people one-stop shopping for local information, ranging from directories to business start-up aids.” Banners were uncovered that showed a new logo for the county – a new, modern teal and burgundy logo with the simple title “Leeds Grenville.” The main graphic of the logo reflects many of the elements to the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville including agriculture, tourism and recreation. The new brand updates the county’s image and is vital to promoting the region, said Economic Development Manager Ann Weir. “We’re building a regional toolkit beginning with the new website,” she added. Goodyear – who heads the Federal Economic Development Agency for

Southern Ontario - was also on hand to give the keynote address to the audience Runciman and David Beatty, CEO of Canarm Ltd., were also special guests for the event. The pair shared with the audience a look back of roundtable discussions focused on economic development they had launched together more than 10 years ago to encourage growth. Speakers like Elizabeth Savill, CAO for the County of Frontenac, were also there to talk to the participants about economic sustainability. There was also a presentation given by Chairman Dan Stanford from the Eastern Ontario Community Futures Development K. Wallace Photo/ Advance Staff Corporation Network on Gary Goodyear, minister of state (science and technology) was recently at the North Grenthe Eastern Ontario Development Program and a ville Municipal Centre where the county of Leeds-Grenville unveiled its new marketing brand. case for renewal.

who was getting something from the trunk of her car when she felt hot breath on the back of her neck…Misty and Donkey are very curious. Maybe they just wanted to help the girl to get over her fear of horses. Saturday night we enjoyed an evening of karaoke singing at Lock 17 in Burritts Rapids with a bunch of family and friends. Thank you to Richard for my new cowgirl hat, which I will hide so that it doesn’t end up in the burn barrel with the last one that the Farmer “accidentally” threw out.

I find the whole experience entertaining and satisfying, because you do get a sense of accomplishment when all 100 sheep are properly medicated, hooves trimmed, etc. But I can’t speak for the Farmer. He usually is covered in sweat and has a very sore back at the end of the ordeal, which takes about 2 hours on a good day. On Saturday, my husband had his band of merry men over for a pre-season skeet shoot. Apparently when the hunters play, the horse runs away. Misty and Donkey found a gate left open by some rookie for their convenience, and seized the opportunity to go visit the neighbour’s apple tree. I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to Megan,

In Merrickville the challenge was to take a look at how students were doing in reading, writing and mathematics. Problem solving, literacy and the opportunity for all students and staff at the school to experience modern technology have made a difference. It highlighted how the school is using new technology to enhance student learning. The study stated, “In fact the use of technology is exceeding all expectations in terms of the speed and depth of interactive student

learning, as well as heightened interest and engagement, especially among boys. In differentiating instruction, staff is discovering that what is essential for some students can be advantageous for all of them.” School principal Ray Westendorp said “There are many forms of data. Any meaningful data that helps us support student learning is what we want to pay attention to. It allows us to see what trends we’re on and where we are heading.”

The Accidential Farmwife: Just another weekend

Look who’s making a difference KEMPTVILLE REACHES OUT TO CHERNOBYL SENIORS

RIDE THE RIDEAU RAISES ALMOST $1 MILLION Almost $1 million has been raised to help improve cancer research thanks to more than 325 bike riders. Participants rode 100 kilometres from Ottawa to Merrickville-Wolford as part of the first annual Ride the Rideau event. The event raised $901,000 which will help build the new Centre

for Innovative Research at the Ottawa Hospital General Campus. The centre will help speed up research into treatments that connect viruses, cells and genes to help destroy cancer. Cancer is one of the leading causes of death for Canadians – 6,000 patients have been diagnosed in the immediate community this year.

More than 160 shoeboxes filled with basic hygiene items were collected this year at Kemptville And District Home Support Inc. and sent to seniors in need in Chernobyl. Executive director Cheryl Brown wanted to thank each senior, volunteer, staff member and the community at large who

contributed and filled a shoebox for a Chernobyl senior. The shoeboxes included toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, deodorant, face cloths, hand towels, brushes and combs. The shoeboxes have been delivered to the Canadian Aid for Chernobyl organization based in Brockville.
