The Kemptville Fire Department has found a unique way to get their fire safety message across to the public. The theme for fire prevention week this year was “Smoke Alarms – A sound you can live with.” At their open house, held on Wednesday, Oct. 6, the fire department had a full house of visitors watch as firefighters demonstrated what happens when a fire occurs in your home. Two fire cells had been constructed as mock living rooms to show how fire can spread. Along with the real life and graphic demonstration, the fire department also had displays up and running for children and adults. The parking lot at the fire station was wet with rain as firefighters prepared to set one of two mock rooms on fire. Inside the fire station more than 100 visitors line up
in the garage doorway and watched as the demonstration took place. A firefighter set the room on fire, however for several minutes only a flickering flame could be seen. There was an audible gasp from the onlookers when after a few short minutes the room erupted in flames. Within seconds a smoke alarm could be heard as the room filled with smoke. This is your first notification that a fire is occurring in your home. Without a working smoke alarm you have little chance of escaping a house fire. The lesson was graphic and to the point. A working smoke alarm would have saved anyone in the same situation. After firefighters put the now blazing room out they set fire to a second room. This one was equipped with a working smoke alarm and a residential sprinkler system. Again, the smoke alarm sounded within seconds of the fire starting. See FIRE page 8

The Kemptville Fire Department held an open house at their new fire station on Wednesday, Oct.6. One of their demonstrations featured an explosive look at how quickly and completely fire can take over a room. The use of smoke alarms would have given a family time to escape from this mock up of a home on fire.

Fire officials were called to the site of the new North Grenville Library when construction workers hit a gas line on Sept. 27. “I was told the back hoe had severed the gas main,” said Karen Dunlop, director of public works who was at the scene after the line had been cut. Mark Doris, a construction supervisor, acknowledged that the line had been cut and it wasn’t marked on a sheet which indicates where gas lines are located throughout an area. “It was all on the up and up to dig there,” said Doris, who said workers were trying to tap into the sewer lines when the pipe was severed. With the old town part of Kemptville being dug up a few years ago, Dunlop couldn’t comment on whether the gas line was on the locate sheet or not. “I have not seen the locate sheet,” she said. “It’s the responsibility of the contractor on site.” But, she said the pipe looked like it was about 10 years-old. Dunlop added that when lines are installed, their location might be slightly off on the locate sheet. She said this happened recently at the new Colonnade development when workers were installing a water line and hit a major one. “It does happen,” she said. Doris agreed that lines can be severed when on a construction site. “In this industry, it’s happened before,” he said. Dunlop said there are important precautions to take when there is a gas leak. “If you smell gas, get out of the building and call the fire department,” she said. Dunlop added that construction workers should call as soon as the break happens, clear everyone back and stay away from the hole. In this case, firefighters sealed off the area as the gas leaked out until Enbridge Gas could come and repair the gas line. “The fire department reacted very quickly and responded to any calls of smells of gas,” said Dunlop. “Everything was fixed.”

Children and volunteers recently boarded a plane for a day-trip from Ottawa to Disney World in Florida as part of Dreams Take Flight. The charity started in 1989 when Air Canada employees organized a trip for children across Canada who are physically, mentally or socially challenged. More than 8,000 children have since been a part of the day with chapters across Canada. Dreams Take Flight’s planning, organizing and fundraising is done entirely by Air Canada current and former
staff, family, friends and sponsors who volunteer their time. The plane is staffed by pilots and flight attendants who volunteer their time as well. This project helps give children a chance to forget about doctors and illness for a day – and, gives them the opportunity to meet Mickey Mouse and his friends. This year is the 15th N. Hunt Photo/ Staff anniversary of children Shobana Ramesh of Metcalfe shares a laugh with her Dreams Take flying from Ottawa to Florida and Shobana Flight group on the Jungle Cruise in Adventureland. Ramesh of Metcalfe was part of the fun. For more information WATER MAIN FLUSHING or to donate air miles to future trips, visit: www. dreamstakeflight.ca

Annual Book Fair
The upcoming Oct. 25 municipal election seems to have snuck up on everyone. Voters can identify with the people waiting for a train. They can see the train from a distance and then all of a sudden it is arriving with all of the attendant noise and bustle. This year the Advance will be covering five geographical areas. Beginning with the Ottawa South area from North Gower down to Manotick then over to Osgoode, Greely, and Metcalfe. The Ottawa area is being hit by a wave of candidates with a healthy amount of issues being debated as well as busloads of solutions to argue about. The Ottawa municipal election will be featured in next week’s Advance. This week, readers from North Dundas down to Edwardsburgh-Cardinal, North Grenville and over to Merrickville-Wolford will be able to track their particular candidate and have a moment to consider what they are saying to them. This election there will be more electronic voting going on. In North Grenville this is a new idea. In the other rural municipalities mail-in and electronic voting have been successfully adopted. In North Dundas there will only be internet and telephone voting. For more information call the North Dundas Township office at 613-774-2105 or 1-800795-0437.

COLUMN
A farewell to the Advance The word “change” seems to be the theme of North Grenville and area in the last few years – especially this year with municipal elections. As of Oct. 18, another change is coming. A different reporter will be sitting in the Advance’s reporter’s chair, writing about where this community is headed. The Metroland chain, which owns the Advance and other newspapers in the Ottawa region, recently expanded to add four new newspapers in the Ottawa area. I’ve recently accepted a reporting position for a new newspaper scheduled to launch on Oct. 28 in Westboro and North Nepean. Everyone remembers their first real job, and this will be no different for me. Back in February, this community opened its arms to me. People let me inside their homes, on their job sites and allowed me to photograph groundbreaking moments. I gained more experience in reporting and photography – as well as helping my associate editor put the paper
KRISTY WALLACE together every week. I was nervous about municipal issues and I often called my dad at night (who’s a reporter-turned-editor) to let out some steam and express my uncertainties. But I learned that I really, really like municipal issues and I have the people of North Grenville to thank for that. I was intimidated by my first Ontario Municipal Board hearing and my first council meeting. But after talking to the leaders – and those who oppose them – I grew so interested that it’s now one of the things I love reporting about. With this, I learned the true importance of being balanced and fair and that there’s not just two sides to a story. A good balanced story is always more than that. A journalist can never have too many points of view.

I was caught off guard. One that comes to mind is when I first started and it was my first day alone in the office. I got a call that someone was stuck neck-deep in kernelled corn in a grain silo out in North Gower. I was so rushed and filled with adrenaline that I forgot my coat and I stood out on the blistering cold mid-March day for hours. As day turned to night a sympathetic reporter from CTV finally lent me their coat. Everyday there was laughter on the job. My associate editor and I got along great. My co-workers often joked about me being the youngest in the office, and it didn’t help my case that I brought “Lunchables” to work on a regular basis. Whether my job brought strong emotions or tons of laughter, it really was great not knowing what to expect when I woke up in the morning. I look forward to visiting the community in the future and seeing the result of all these changes.

Limerick Forest began as a settlement used for agriculture in the 1800’s, and now celebrates it 70th anniversary, as well as the grand opening of a new interpretive centre. When first founded, the soil of Limerick Forest was unfit to farm, yet despite the agricultural problems 8 million trees were planted in the 1950’s between the province and the counties. Last year $186,000 was given as funding from the National Trails Coalition to develop the new centre and trail-related works. The opening of the centre is to be part of the 70th anniversary ceremony. The United Counties of Leeds and Grenville (UCLG), Warden Bill Thake said “We are proud of this wonderful community forest and are grateful for the opportunity funding has provided to us to further develop our interpretive centre for the enjoyment of
the people of Leeds and Grenville.” The forest consists of specific plantation, including white, red and jack pine and white spruce, numerous sections of wetland, as well as natural forest coverage. Due to the different environments, the forest provides home to many living creatures that range from mammal to amphibious. “Limerick Forest is a treasure in our community,” said Bill Thake. From the late 1800s to the mid 1970s a oneroomed schoolhouse played a vital role in the community as it was used as a work centre for the Department of Lands and Forests and the Ministry of Natural Resources. In 1995 the Agreement Forest Program ended and the centre shut down. In 2001 the Limerick Forest Advisory Committee and United Counties of Leeds and Grenville began to manage the forest and the centre reopened. “The chalet became

Helping others see clearer KRISTY WALLACE kristy.wallace@metroland.com
Dr. Carla L. Eamon was inspired when she heard about nine year-old Nlando’s first pair of glasses. The little girl from South Africa needed glasses to help her see in school – giving her the education she needs to escape the cycle of poverty. Nlando is one of 670 million people who are blind or vision impaired just because they don’t have access to an eye exam and
glasses they need. Eamon was so inspired by this story that on Oct. 15, the Kemptville optometrist is donating her eye exam fees to help give exams and glasses to children who need vision to see in school and adults who need vision to provide for their families in third world countries. This day marks World Sight Day – which also organizes Optometry Giving Sight. Optometry Giving Sight funds programs that train local eye professionals and helps develop centres which help give perma-
nent vision to people in need. “I have supported Optometry Giving Sight for four years and am proud to support such a worthwhile case,” said Eamon. “It’s easy to take vision care for granted here in Canada.” By the end of 2010, Optometry Giving Sight hopes has a goal to have given $4 million, through its partners, to help give eye exams and glasses to millions of people in 17 countries in Latin America, Africa and Asia. In some developing countries, it can cost as low as $5 to provide an eye exam and a pair
of glasses. Optometry Giving Sight guarantees that 85 per cent of all funds raised by optometrists and their patients will go directly to those in need – saving them from the injustices of poverty. It is also a registered charity in Canada.
For more information call 613258-7421 or visit: www.givingsight.org “Taking the World Sight Day Challenge is a great way to raise funds to give sight to people who don’t have access to the vision care that my patients can access.”

Reid Warren is six years-old. He loves bouncing on his trampoline, swinging on the swings – and playing his violin.
Kemptville Kinsmen Farmers’ Market and raised $60 which will go to Vision Nouvelle in Delmas, Haiti. “I didn’t really know how much I wanted to make,� said Reid. “I was a little surprised at how much I raised. I didn’t know how much I would actually make. I was just a little bit happy.� Reid’s violin teacher, Yvrose Philippe-Auguste, is an Ottawa violinist and music teacher who leads the organization which helps give children music lessons. Vision Nouvelle offers enriched music instruction to children of all income levels in Haiti and teaches them to play instruments like the violin, vio-
la, cello, flute, guitar and piano. The school itself was left in rubble after this year’s earthquake, but it continues to provide its educational program while rebuilding. Karen Warren, Reid’s mom, thought it was a great idea when Reid told her what he wanted to do when he performed at the Farmers’ Market. “His violin teacher often talks about the organization she’s involved in,� said Warren. “She encouraged him to do this and he thought it was a great idea.� She said the family was surprised to see what Reid had raised $60 to help the organization. His four year-old sister, Kelsey, also helped when she

performed as a step dancer at the market. “It was a bit of a talent show,� said Reid. Warren said she’s very proud of Reid – who also performed recently at the Metcalfe Fair and placed third in the eight and under class. “I hope he continues playing the violin and I hope he continues his generosity towards others,� said Warren. He’s very caring in that way, and really cares about others.� For more information about Vision Nouvelle, and how you can help, please contact ecole. visionnouvelle@gmail.com or yvroseph.com

Smoke alarms save lives KFD from front The residential sprinkler system was activated within seconds of the smoke alarm going off . In a minute, the fire was extinguished before it could have reached the point where flames could engulfed the room. This demonstration gave many onlookers a peek at how a home sprinkler system can save not only your life but your home and personal items. At the open house and watching from a safe distance was Mary Carter and her friend Dorothy Ralph. The two had borrowed firefighter jackets to keep out the cold and rain. Mary has had her
own experience to tell about regarding smoke alarms. “About a month ago my smoke alarms went off. I called the Kemptville Fire Department and they came out to check my home,” she said. “There was no fire but carbon monoxide had been building up from a pipe. I was lucky they found it and that the alarm went off.” The fire department reminds home owners that it is the law to have working smoke alarms on all levels of your home and outside all sleeping areas. If you have questions about your home smoke alarms or home escape planning do not hesitate to contact the fire department at 613-2582438.
Paperless office at the WDMH ZACK FORTIN Special to the Advance
It was a revolutionary day at the Winchester District Memorial Hospital (W.D.M.H.) when a meeting with the Board of Directors was held with absolutely no paper. Software known as SharePoint, an online program that is capable of securely sharing information, has made it’s way on to the Board of Directors. “We are leveraging some of the stateof-the-art technology that has been developed at W.D.M.H. by moving our board to the SharePoint environment.” Many Microsoft applications are applicable with this software.

Much like my childhood fascination with the Little House on the Prairie book series, detailing the hard life of the pioneers, I think stories about the lives of farmers in Eastern Ontario at the end of the 19th century would be equally impressive. My Farmer has documented life through a collection of lists. He has a clipboard with the attendance list, menu and details of every family Thanksgiving dinner he has hosted for the past several years. Many times the Farmer will refer to the clipboard before he uses the phonebook. I learned a long time ago not to mess with the clipboard of lists. As I flip back through the aging sheets of looseleaf, I notice

that the list of attendees at the family gatherings has shifted so that the younger generation under the “kids” heading shows more names than the “adults”. Just last week the Farmer became a great-uncle. That is just one step away from grandfather, as far as I’m concerned. Of course, our kids are still pretty young, with post secondary education (the emphasis was for their benefit, not that they ever read my column) to complete before they consider marriage or parenthood. But when they do (ten years from now!) add a name or two to our “kids” list on the clipboard, we will welcome the little gaffers with Thanksgiving.

Kemptville Advance - OCTOBER 14, 2010
I’m going to start reading the annual Farmer’s Almanac online. They seem to be more accurate than the weekly weather forecast. The Almanac predicted a 30-degree summer and they were right. They said it was going to be a wet fall – with 23 days of rain in September I’d say they were right on the money. Now the Almanac is calling for a cold, dry winter. Not the winter of choice for a farmer. Actually, I don’t know anyone who would appreciate that kind of winter. Snow insulates and so, much as we complain about it, it’s a good thing. And it gives us something to play in and keeps the snowplow operators happy. If it’s a dry winter, our water to the barn

MUNICIPAL ELECTION 2010 EdwardsburghCardinal MAYOR Larry Dishaw - incumbent Larry Dishaw is the current mayor of Edwardsburgh-Cardinal. He is just finishing his first term as mayor and wants to be around to finish off the many growth-based projects that his council began in 2006. “The most important thing for me is to be able to continue to work on the elements we have been working on for the past four years,” he said. Currently, the council is working on several items including a new property standard bylaw as well as the crucial projects at the Port of Prescott. The port has already completed a $5.5 million project to replace its four bins and next up is the $34 million plan to replace the wharf. Whoever becomes the mayor will also step into the role of the chairperson of the Port’s management board. “I had an easy transition, “said Dishaw, referring to his first term as mayor and as a port board member.
Bill Sloan - challenger Bill Sloan says he is committed to making Edwardsburgh-Cardinal a better place to live, work and play. “I believe that my 12 years on council, including six serving as deputy reeve/ deputy mayor, have given me the background I need to serve our township,” he said. Sloan said some of the important issues he would like to tackle are the township tax rate, the operational cost of council, improved water and sewer operations and attracting more industry. In addition, he would like to give one free swimming lesson to children under eight because of the township’s location on the river – and the amount of drowning deaths among children in the province. Sloan was born and raised in Edwardsburgh-Cardinal and spent 25 years with the fire department. “I believe I have the experience, the time and the interest to guide council in making decisions beneficial to citizens and businesses in Edwardsburgh-Cardinal,” he said.
WARD 1 COUNCILLOR Charles Burrell - challenger Charles Burrell is a veteran member of former councils in Cardinal over the past 20 years. He has several concerns about the current business environment. He wants to see the Village of Cardinal grow in a sustainable way. He was born in Cardinal and has watched as it changed over the years. Cardinal has lost its only grocery store and there is no new development. He wants to see the township make an effort to find ways to be more self-sufficient energy-wise. He is concerned that Cardinal will be left behind. Burrell wants to see a better balance between all the wards in EdwardsburghCardinal and that includes having a look at the number of councillors and the areas they represent. Burrell feels that the township should be looking at ways to attract more industry to the area and more youth. He wants to have a close look at property standards as well.
Hugh Cameron - incumbent Equality, fairness, integrity, honesty and transparency. These are all the values that Hugh Cameron said he will bring if re-elected to the Edwardsburgh-Cardinal North Dundas councillor seat. “This council’s very proactive and aggressive,” said Cameron. “We’ve been able to accomplish a lot in the four years we’ve been there.” He said there’s many more things he hopes to accomplish if re-elected like repair village roads, promote economic growth and beautification to the area’s villages and parks. Cameron and North Grenville Coun. Tim Sutton have also been working together to improve bike lanes and paths for the two adjoining communities. “We have wonderful roads that are excellent for cycling on,” said Cameron. “If we can get people through both of our communities, it generates business for both of us.” Cameron’s family has been deeply rooted in the Edwardsburgh-Cardinal community for 40 years. “It’s small-town living and it’s very nice,” he said.
Dwane Crawford - challenger Dwane Crawford feels that the part of the township that includes the village of Cardinal has been left behind since amalgamation 10 years ago.
“I feel that the community is not moving forward,” he said. Crawford cited a lack of growth and development in the village’s downtown core as a serious potential problem. He believes that the area has tremendous potential but needs some thoughtful economic development. “We have an area which could be more attractive,” said Crawford. The candidate believes that the council has to be more proactive and encourage development. He wants the ward to be represented by a clear voice. “It is important that we need people from our ward to speak up,” he said. He said that Cardinal has a healthy population but may be ignored. “No one is really carrying anything forward,” he said.
Joe Scott - challenger Joe Scott has served on the pre-amalgamation Cardinal council. He has concerns about development of the village and the surrounding areas. “Before you can get people to invest in your community you have to have an infrastructure in place,” he said. He believes that the potential for this part of Edwardsburg-Cardinal is huge. “I am not afraid to voice my opinion,” he said, “and that of my constituents.” He said that he believes that the area has a great future but that all parts of it have to work together to achieve success. He feels that there are solutions to the challenges facing the area but that the council, local business and residents have to work together to find them. Scott looks back at 10 years of amalgamation and believes it is time for more progress. “We need a proactive council,” he said.
WARD 2 COUNCILLOR Lawrence Levere - incumbent Lawrence Levere is currently a member of the Edwardsburgh-Cardinal council. “I want to make good decisions on behalf of the people in the township,” he said. He feels that being candid with people is the best way to be. “I will not make promises I cannot keep,” he said. Levere feels that Edwardsburg-Cardinal stands at the crossroads of eastern Ontario. There are two, four-lane highways running through the township as well the International Bridge to the United States, the Port of Prescott and the ethanol plant in Johnstown, and the CPR rail.
Levere is excited about the future of the township regarding industrial development. As a director on the board of the South Nation Conservation Authority, he is sensitive to the needs of the agricultural community and environmental issues. He believes that there is more room for different kinds of industry in the area. He feels that the current council has been one of the most active councils in recent memory.
Gerry Morrell - challenger Gerry Morrell would like the township to move towards developing an industrial and residential vision. He wants to ensure that the council maintains good fiscal management practices, keeping taxes affordable and looking after the township’s infrastructure. Morrell feels that a long-term plan has to be developed to look after the roads in the township and the council has to find a way to attract more industry while maintaining what is already in place. “I like and respect the people of Edwardsburgh-Cardinal and I am familiar with their concerns,” he said. He feels that the council has to adopt a co-operative approach creating good partnerships with staff and employees. His life experiences allow him to be in a position to seek funding from upper levels of government for the townships facilities. Gerry Morrell, if elected, will create a climate of openness and respect at council and committee meetings.
Patrick Sayeau - incumbent An enjoyable 15 years of council experience has motivated Edwardsburgh-Cardinal councillor incumbent Pat Sayeau to run again this year. “I feel I made a meaningful contribution to the successes of the past four years,” said Sayeau. “I feel I still have a lot to contribute.” He has a top five list of issues he would like to tackle if re-elected to the council seat – including the replacement or extension of the Scott Road Landfill site, finding a grant program or capital dollars to replace aging sewers and water pipes along County Road 2 in the Village of Cardinal, in addition to other initiatives involving better sewers and roads. “I know how to cut costs and reduce expenditures,” Sayeau said. He urges everyone to come out and vote on election day. “It is a real privilege to be able to run for office in such a great country.”

Edwardsburgh-Cardinal WARD 3 COUNCILLOR country and also living in EdwardsburghBrenda Ball - challenger Brenda Ball has always felt an obligation to serve her community – and now she has hit a time in her life where she can do just that. “I’ve been active in the area and I’ve hit an age where I can actually serve the community in this capacity,” she said. Ball said if elected, she would like to foster collaboration within the township and with Edwardsbu r g h - C a rd i n a l ’s neighbouring townships. “None of us stand alone and we all need each other,” said Ball. Ball said she understands the rural context – being born and raised in the
Cardinal. She adds that her time out in the business world had also brought a sensibility when it comes to decision-making. “It’s a balance between the head and the heart,” she said. Ball isn’t running because she has any particular platforms. She sees this year’s municipal elections as an opportunity to serve.
John Hunter - challenger John Hunter is running for a council seat in Edwardsburgh-Cardinal. He says he is a voice for rural roots and agriculture. He is involved with the Ontario Farmers’ Association and the Ontario Maple Syrup Association and is a member of the Nation Masonic Lodge in Spencerville, the Order of the East-
ern Star in Prescott and the Boos Klown of the Brockville Shrine Club. He is passionate about his community and helping others. One of his election concerns is that agriculture in the township must remain on everyone’s radar. On the one hand growth is important, but the kind of growth the area experiences have to be carefully planned out. He says that growth has to happen in a fiscally responsible way. He stands for strong fiscal management of the township’s resources and continued development of the industrial park and the Port of Prescott. John Hunter has served as a councillor in the former township of Edwardsburgh.
Kirk Jones - incumbent Kirk Jones is volunteer firefighter and
staunch supporter of his community. He has served the Edwardsburg-Cardinal community as a councillor for the past two terms. “It has been a very humbling experience,” he said. He is proud of the accomplishments the council has achieved to date, notably the work done with the Port of Prescott project. He wants to grow and enhance the township’s existing infrastructure and want to ensure that the township stays in the black. Jones believes that you get out of something just what you put into it and as a councillor he has no problem giving as much as he can. “We are trying to lay down an infrastructure so that it will kick-start other initiatives,” he said. Listening to what people have to say is important to Jones and he has pledged to do what is right for his community.
Merrickville-Wolford MAYOR
and I want to give back,” says Barr.
Lorne Caldwell - incumbent
Doug Struthers - acclaimed COUNCILLORS AT LARGE Anne Barr - challenger A level-headed listener and innovator, Anne Barr chaired the Merrickville-Wolfrod Heritage Committee, responsible for creating a tax relief program for designated properties. A business owner, pilot and grandmother, Barr strongly believes it’s time to seriously explore and encourage ways to diversify the area’s economic base. Barr favours industries that employ a few people, have a modest environmental impact on water and traffic while producing an end product that can be enjoyed by both tourists and locals. Bakeries, craft breweries, artisanal cheese production are examples of industries that can also be tied in with a more robust local flavours initiative in support of local growers and producers she explains. Although relatively new to the village (five-year resident), Barr grew up in the immediate area and is very familiar with both urban and rural concerns. “Merrickville-Wolford has been good to me,
A veteran of municipal politics, Lorne Caldwell has already served 15 years as Councillor at Large. He regards his work as co-chair of the amalgamation committee as his greatest achievement. “I worked really hard to make sure that the union would offer the most support for both Merrickville and Wolford residents as we could possibly be structured into the agreement,” he says. For three years following amalgamation, Caldwell was also a volunteer member of the planning advisory committee. He’s also proud of his work as co-chair of the town hall building committee, which resulted in the new Merrickville-Wolford office building next to the fire hall, completed just prior to amalgamation. A long-time resident and business owner, Caldwell regards his experience and ability to find a compromise in order to get business accomplished to be his greatest assets. “I have experience, honesty and integrity,” says Caldwell.
Cesar Farhat - challenger Newly arrived in the village, Cesar Farhat has bravely stepped up to the plate and is running for Councillor at Large. An aerial photographer and business owner, Farhat intends to improve local services, and relationships with other communities if he’s elected.
His priorities are to implement the Economic Development Strategic Plan and work with residents in both the Merrickville and Wolford wards to achieve their goals in municipal government. A staunch supporter of the environment, he hopes to work towards greater awareness of the issues facing the municipality as it grows and explore new avenues for conservation and sustainability. Farhat sees himself as a strong negotiator able to influence positive outcomes that benefits all sides of a debate. “I will work for you to provide professional and innovative solutions to better represent your needs and concerns and bring new ideas to the council table,” he says.
Jane Graham - incumbent An energetic people person, Jane Graham has already served two terms on council and regards her ability to access funding for municipal projects to be her greatest strength. She is proud of the work she has contributed to the economic development strategy both in its development and in securing funding for the exercise. Currently, a financial planner with $20 million in managed assets, and a former bank manager, Graham brings a wealth of financial background and says
she enjoys the challenge of writing grant proposals. Prior to serving on council, Graham sat on the municipal heritage committee council, and served as president of the Rotary Club of Brockville. She is also a charter member of the Women’s Institute of Bishops Mills where she grew up. “I still have so much to do, like implementing the economic development strategic plan,” she says.
Don Halpenny - challenger A man of few well-chosen words, Don Halpenny is thoroughly familiar with the issues and challenges facing the amalgamated wards. A lifelong dairy farmer and 25-year building inspector, Halpenny has lived and worked in the area most of his life. His goal is to bring more openness to council and ensure that questions raised by residents are answered in a straight-forward manner. Environmentally aware, Halpenny has chosen not to bombard residents with flyers and signs, in a conscious effort to avoid excess pollution. A former livestock evaluator, animal control officer and drains inspector, Halpenny is no stranger to the minutia of government regulations and by-laws. Deeply conscientious, he regards it as his responsibility to be well informed prior to making decisions that affect people’s lives. “I will be open and available to the public to ensure that environmental and agricultural issues amalgamate to improve the municipality - with common sense,” says Halpenny.

MUNICIPAL ELECTION 2010
Kemptville Advance - OCTOBER 14, 2010
12
MUNICIPAL ELECTION 2010 Merrickville-Wolford WOLFORD WARD COUNCILLOR Tom Beach - challenger Articulate and thoughtful, Tom Beach is offering voters more than 25 years of planning, and management experience — most of it in the agriculture and community development fields. “I like to see results, and I do make things happen without wasting time,” he says. Currently an international program coordinator with the Agricultural Institute of Canada, he is also the organization’s former executive director. Beach grew up in the North Grenville area and moved to Wolford recently. He served as a school board trustee during the period of amalgamation and has had considerable experience with policy implementation and negotiations. If elected, Beach is committed to the diversification of the local economy and recognition of the current economic base, including agriculture. He’s also committed to sound land use planning, and is a strong supporter for the protection of agricultural land. “I have the background, skills and the commitment to do a good job,” says Beach.
David Nash - challenger Admitting he’s the furthest thing from a ‘politician’ David Nash, is nonetheless running for a seat on council because he wants to be part of a positive change. Nash sees his primary responsibility as ensuring Wolford ward’s infrastructure, in terms of roads and ditches, is properly maintained and upgraded. A former child and youth worker, Nash sees plenty of room to improve recreational facilities for children in both Wolford and Merrickville wards. If elected, he will put his energy into expanding recreational facilities targeting children and youth, and see Wolford’s Centennial Hall completed. Nash is also concerned about the activities of the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority and their relationship with landowners and the municipality. A former telecommunications director, Nash would like to see bureaucracy reduced and communication between council and residents improved. “I’m sincere, and want to help and promise to treat people with dignity and respect,” says Nash.
David Snowdon - challenger
Timothy Molloy - incumbent
Knowledgeable and detail-oriented, David Snowdon is concerned for the rural voice on council. Currently, operating a farm in Wolford where he grew up, Snowdon believes he can bring his solid agricultural understanding to the table. Formerly a computer networking expert with the likes of IBM and EDS, his focus, if elected, will be to examine and work towards putting a halt to the ever-expanding flood-plane that’s encroaching on agricultural land. “There are ways of dealing with drainage without disturbing beaver habitat, so that you can control flooding,” he explains. Snowdon also believes that council has to be more pro-active in communicating with both rural and urban residents in order to protect the integrity of the office. “I know the issues and I’m familiar with the people in the community and council. I want to make sure that our council is open and available to anyone with concerns,” says Snowdon.
Confident of his 16-year record on council, Timothy Molloy believes municipal government is the most rewarding form of governance. Molloy is particularly proud of his role as liason between the Lion’s Club and library board, that resulted in a new home for Merrickville Library. He’s also excited about ongoing work that began a year ago on getting a new regional YMCA into the area. If re-elected, he intends to focus on improving recreational facilities, expanding the library programs, improving the beach fronts and diversifying the tourist base to include eco-tourism. A former local teacher, Molloy believes the village has not yet fully realized its potential as a tourist destination and before taking off on a new tack should strengthen and complete what has already been started. “I bring a great deal of municipal governance background, and integrity with sound listening and management skills,” says Molloy.
MERRICKVILLE WARD COUNCILLOR
Boisterously outgoing, Joan Spencer, a 10-year veteran of council and former teacher, regards her work in getting water meters to Merrickville residents as her greatest achievement. “We brought in the water meters at no extra cost to residents,” she says, but admits the resulting water conservation means water costs for residents will continue to rise.
Robert Grey - challenger A straightforward, no nonsense candidate, Robert Gray offers voters a wealth of research and analytical expertise coupled with strong financial management experience. Gray, who has lived in the village for more than 30 years, sees the need to develop better relations between the business community and council. He’s particularly interested in realizing diversity in the village’s economic base, away from its current reliance on tourism. If elected, he’d also work towards nurturing recognition from the business community of the private monetary contribution residents make towards preserving the village’s charm and heritage. Well plugged into today’s technology, Gray believes there is plenty of room to improve communication between council and residents, and encourages residents to try the online Merrickville forum to air their views and concerns. “I’m open and honest, I’ll listen and learn so if you want to see a fresh perspective on council, I’d be pleased to have your vote” says Gray.
Joan Spencer - incumbent
She’s also very proud of her work in re-organizing the dump and introducing bag tags, which helped bring landfill costs down from $200,000 to $70,000 per year. Her next priority, she says, will be to ensure permanent washroom facilities for tourists, explaining that the portable toilets dotting the village over the past few years were a temporary measure. She will work towards creating an economic development board tasked with fulfilling the recommendations of the Economic Development Strategic Plan. “I’m approachable, reliable, hard working and a progressive voice on council, so vote for me,” says Spencer.
Victor Suthren - challenger The former director general of the War Museum and author of 13 books, Victor Suthren is no stranger to leadership, budgets, complex mediation or hard work. Suthren is running in this election because he worries that the village is at a turning point as it faces the pressures of growth. If elected, Suthren will endeavor to help the municipality navigate through the inevitable changes while preserving its core values and heritage. Issues he would address include burying the power lines along St. Lawrence Street and rerouting heavy truck traffic that some believe is threatening the structural integrity of heritage buildings along their circuit. “My understanding is that the trucking community is open to dialogue,” says Suthren. An experienced mediator, Suthren promises to listen to the concerns of residents, and to serve their interests responsibly. “Elect someone who cares. I’m not unique, but I do care,” says Suthren.

North Dundas MAYOR Eric Duncan - challenger Eric Duncan might only be 22 years old, but the mayoral candidate for North Dundas has a solid plan on how to create a better community. Duncan said there’s been a lot of talk, but no action. Some of the major concerns he has – and plans to fix – is on the roads, budgeting and finance process. “We have a number of gravel roads, and we spend $375,000 a year on gravel. Then a week later, it ends up in the ditch,” he said. As part of his five-point plan, Duncan’s best solution to this would be to tar and chip all of the gravel roads within the next 10 years without raising taxes too much. Duncan’s overall vision for North Dundas is a better promotion of the community. “We have a great hospital, great schools and great churches,” he said. “But things don’t change overnight. It’s a steady progress.”
Alvin Runnalls - incumbent Alvin Runnalls is a veteran mayor having served on the North Dundas council for two terms. His motto for the 2010 election is vision, progress and responsibility. As mayor he has watched over the Chest e r v i l l e - Wi n chester sewer and water project. He wants to look at ensuring the 170 kilometers of gravel roads in North Dundas are looked after hopefully by having them paved. “We need to make North Dundas a more attractive place to live,” he said. Runnalls also wants a vision for the future of North Dundas. He feels the township staff share much of the success his council has achieved. “We have to start looking at the idea of upgrading our sewage system,” he said. He believes the township is in excellent shape and after enjoying $18 million worth of projects, he says the future is something all residents can look forward to.
DEPUTY MAYOR Gerry Boyce - challenger Gerry Boyce thinks it’s time for a breath of fresh air – which is why he’s running for deputy mayor of North Dundas. “You need to recruit new people, new energy and new ideas to keep things going,” said Boyce. A businessman at heart, he hopes to attract new jobs and businesses to the area if elected. He said he also puts a high value on taxpayers, who he sees as customers. There are several specific issues that Boyce wants to tackle in the community, including job and business expansion. He said he has a 10-year plan for paving and maintaining gravel roads. Boyce’s overall vision for North Dundas is to reform some departments within the municipality. “I’ve heard of people having trouble with the planning and bylaw department,” he said. He said he would also like to speed up building permits and try and help the contractors in the area.
Estella Rose - incumbent Estella Rose is a veteran of the North Dundas and county political scene. Her chief concerns are in the area of the environment and how some solutions to a challenging world environment are impacting at the local level. She is a strong advocate for the farming community as well as a supporter of new ways to protect the environment and produce cheaper and greener energy. Along the way she has taken a careful look at many options such as bio-solid use and wind turbines and has concerns about both items. “I am concerned about the effect of bio-solids going on our food-producing lands,” she said. She would like to take a closer look at such ideas as wind turbines and solar energy to ensure that they are making a positive difference and not a negative one. She believes in sustainable growth.
COUNCILLOR Allan Armstrong - incumbent Allan Armstrong has served on the North Dundas council for the past 10 years and has enjoyed every minute of it. “I still think I have a great deal to give,” he said. Armed with all that experience, he feels that he can continue along the path that the township has been going and finish off several on-going projects.
Councillors have had to deal with many changes as the face of municipal politics evolves. From a new municipal act to changes in provincial regulations to just about everything, councillors have to be able to keep up. He feels that experience at the council table is crucial. “It is a lot of work but it is very rewarding,” he said. Armstrong is pleased with the work that has been done lately in North Dundas. Including the new library in South Mountain and the project to join water and sewer services with Winchester and Chesterville.
John Cayer - challenger John Cayer is running for the first time for a councillor seat. While he is a strong advocate for landowners’ rights and is a member of the South Dundas Landowners Association, he also is a strong believer in community. He wants voters to believe that they can make a difference in their community by engaging their local government. “I think there is a disconnect between voters and the council,” he said. “People need to have a voice.” His main focus if elected will be to ensure that the North Dundas infrastructure is in place and that residents are participating more in what their local government is doing. He has lived in North Dundas all of his life and feels that while the council is on the right track with their plans, they are not listening to residents. “I feel that I can be a very effective member of council,” he said.
Tony Fraser - challenger Tony Fraser believes that the township has to promote itself to the rest of the country in order to grow. “Council should try to create a supporting environment for business and residents so that growth can take place,” he said. He sees a strong and effective partnership between residents, their council and the business community. “We need to support each other,” he said. Fraser feels that there is enough land for North Dundas to grow and attract not only industry but families. He believes that great customer service works for a community as well as a township. “You have to make sure that your business community is healthy for the community to be healthy,” said Fraser. He has served North Dundas as a firefighter for 15 years and as deputy fire chief for seven. He wants to promote youth and adult volunteers creating a tradition for volunteering within the North Dundas community.
Wray Holmes - challenger Wray Homes is a former dairy farmer and is a cash cropper. He served the former township of Mountain as a councillor prior to amalgamation. He is a past president of the fair board and the Dundas Federation of Agriculture. “I think the township needs to build a business strategy,” he said. He is looking to the future, thinking about what North Dundas has to do today to guarantee a healthy tomorrow. “We have a lot of talent in the area,” he said. He is concerned that there is no real plan for future development and does not want North Dundas to be a victim of unplanned development. He does not think residents would be content with having growth as only bedroom communities. He wants more industry. Holmes agrees that North Dundas is going in the right direction, however he feels the council has to change its focus.
Doug Shirreffs - challenger For the past 18 years, Doug Shirreffs has been a member of the Lion’s Club in North Dundas. “I’m passionate about my community,” said Shirreffs. “My 18 years in community service has given me a feel for the community, working with people and addressing their needs.” Shirreffs is running for councillor in this year’s election and said he felt it was time to step up and serve his community. He’s been a business owner and is now in operations management – with business experience extending over 30 years. He said a major issue he wants to tackle is economic development in North Dundas. “If we don’t have something put in place in the way of a long-range plan, we could be in trouble in the future,” he said. Shirreffs has been a resident of North Dundas for 20 years and said he has adopted North Dundas as his home.
John Thompson - incumbent John Thompson has been a member of the North Dundas council for one term. He has enjoyed his time at the council table. “It was a learning experience,” he said. He would like residents to take pride in their community. He feels that the council was able to get a great deal of work done. There have been projects See JOHN THOMPSON, page 15

MUNICIPAL ELECTION 2010 North Grenville MAYOR
David Gordon - challenger
Barrie Taylor - challenger
Bill Gooch - incumbent
David Gordon’s name is well-known around North Grenville as a mayoral candidate in this year’s municipal elections. “I felt that we needed someone with leadership,’ said Gordon. Gordon said he has had experience with debt management through his volunteer work in health and education boards. With the municipality in a changing and growing climate, Gordon said one of the things a mayor should not forget is the people. “I believe in an open government. I believe in openness and truthfulness,” he said. “You have to keep people in the loop.” His volunteerism stretches from his work with the Kemptville Kinsmen Club to helping maintain the Kemptville Creek skating rink for almost 20 years. Gordon has also helped with the annual Kemptville Christmas/Santa Claus parade and much more. “The growth has to compliment our existing community,” he said. “And a lot of people moved here to get away from the big city.”
Barrie Taylor values volunteers in the community. He has experience in the Chamber of Commerce, entrepreneurship and the fire department to name a few. Now Taylor has decided to run for mayor of North Grenville in this year’s municipal elections. However he said there isn’t a thing he’d like to change about the way the municipality is run. He believes that council has done a good job fulfilling their duties and decisions that have been made are for the good of the community. Taylor believes development is good for the community, and said he wanted to run because many times those in power can lose perspective when making decisions. He believes he can help guide the change happening in North Grenville and will give a fresh perspective on issues relating to the community. He values North Grenville’s open spaces and believes that as the municipality continues to grow, it benefits everybody.
North Grenville Mayor Bill Gooch is taking another run for mayor in this year’s municipal elections “Urging from my county colleagues, the business and development community - as well as strong support from members of the community and my family - caused me to reconsider,” said Gooch. He said the biggest issue he hopes to tackle if re-elected is creating more career-level jobs to go along with the municipality’s current growth. Gooch said that he brings a career of management and municipal experience to the table, as well engaging in teamwork. He adds that he also brings 10 years of “participation” knowledge. “I am incredibly proud of what we have achieved for this community in the past seven years,” said Gooch. “I know where we need to go and I know how to get there. I see our future - full of success - becoming fully sustainable for our children and grandchildren.”
COUNCILLORS Elwood D. Armour - challenger North Grenville resident Elwood Armour says that there are two areas of interest that he would like to focus on. The first is the North Grenville overall financial situation and its impact on future municipal taxes. He feels that projects such as the municipality’s sewage infrastructure as well as other capital projects must not be ignored or under-funded as a result of the council preferring more eye-catching projects. “I have great concerns about the direction the current council has set by encouraging the development of a commercial plaza outside the town which will house a number of large chain stores,” he said. A second concern of Armour was the future development of North Grenville as a community. Armour feels what is needed regarding the farmers’ market is a traditional, locally-managed, mixed farmers’ market with lots of local produce operating all weekend like other Ontario towns.
Terry Butler - incumbent Terry Butler believes his ability to work with the community – and, organize events like the Dandelion Festival – are good reasons why people should vote for him. “I work hard for this community and I’m proud to do it,” said Butler. “My ability to work with council, municipal management and staff, as well as our
community leaders is a testament to my commitment to North Grenville.” Butler said he was encouraged by the community to run again. He also wanted to continue with the two major projects that he’s involved in – the North Grenville Strategy Plan for Trails and the Business Retention and Expansion program. He said he’s committed to work on the budget process, managing the debt, keeping taxes down and decreasing expenses. “As a business man, I’m quite experienced on how to do that,” he said. Sitting on 14 different community boards, Butler feels he is a very community-minded candidate.
Ken Finnerty - incumbent The number one issue on Ken Finnerty’s agenda if re-elected is the completion of roads in North Grenville. “I still have some unfinished work I’d like to see followed through before I retire,” said Finnerty. “And we were short falling in our budget in the road department.” He said he decided to run for re-election because of the experience he has in public works – but also because he enjoys the job. “I’m an outdoor person,” he said. Finnerty feels with the completion of
the new library, council will have more money to put towards roads. Finnerty has 19 years of experience in dealing with public works issues – 12 of those being in Kemptville and the newly amalgamated North Grenville. When he served on county council in the mid 1990s, he was head of the roads department. “I believe that I fit in this position the best,” he said.
Brent O’Reilly - challenger Brent O’Reilly thinks there should be more rural representation. That’s why the young family man is running for a North Grenville councillor seat. “I just think we need to change the voices on council and get some new fresh blood in there,” said O’Reilly. “I felt that there wasn’t a strong voice for the 70 per cent of people who make up the rural North Grenville area.” One of the issues that inspired O’Reilly to run was how the municipality would fund its infrastructure. “We need more roads, sewage lines and treatment of the waste,” he said. Along with the expected increase in population, many new North Grenville residents could be young families – which will bring new issues to the forefront. One of those issues is classroom sizes for elementary school-aged children. “I understand the way the town should grow around young families,” he said-
Gary Schuck - challenger Gary Schuck believes in open govern-
ment where all members of the community are encouraged to give their input. He believes growth and change must be managed in a controlled and fiscally responsible manner. “I want to find a way to ensure that all groups have a say and that the municipality is open to input,” he said. Schuck worked as an engineer for 27 years, ending his engineering career as a project manager who managed the delivery of multi-million dollar projects on time and on budget bringing together multiple groups with divergent interests and priorities. He retired two years ago from his second career as a realtor, after spending six years talking with hundreds of families as to their reasons for relocating to this community. He has previously volunteered in the community, as a member of the Kinsman Club, is on the parent-teacher committee of Kemptville Elementary School and as a minor league baseball coach.
David Shanahan - challenger If elected this year, David Shanahan’s goals are to include the general public in the municipal government, give the public a voice in decisionmaking and provide a transparent council where staff and council answer questions from the public. See DAVID SHANAHAN, page 15
Kemptville Advance - OCTOBER
MUNICIPAL ELECTION 2010

Who will you vote for? Make informed decisions…
From page 14 to end the current committee of the whole system. Instead, he would like to replace them with a number of committees in which the public is represented. He would also like to draw on the “expertise, experience and energy” of residents in North Grenville when it comes to planning policy and presenting options to council. In addition, Shanahan would like to see regular town hall meetings spread throughout North Grenville where the public is free to ask questions. Among other goals, Shanahan said he would also provide a public written report on a regular basis that lists upcoming agenda items which details finance and bylaw decisions.
Tim Sutton - incumbent Controlled growth, continued low property taxes and strong fiscal management are all part of Tim Sutton’s promises if re-elected councillor. “If the people of North Grenville put
their trust in me again, I will ensure that development not only continues, but pays for upgrades to our infrastructure in years to come,” said Sutton. The “North Grenville Growth Dividend” lays at the centre of Sutton’s platform. He believes that tax revenue from current commercial developments – like the Colonnade development – should be used to help pay for future improvements within the community. He said North Grenville’s Economic Development Committee has worked very hard to help promote and expand business in the community. Sutton’s election platform also includes maintaining the community’s recreational facilities – in addition to having a greener North Grenville. “Nature is one of North Grenville’s greatest assets and we need to find ways to enhance it and celebrate it,” he said.
North Dundas John Thompson - incumbent From page 13 such as the Chesterville-Winchester water project and several beautification projects for downtown Chesterville and Winchester. Thompson points to the Chesterville waterfront project as a good example of
what can be done to invigorate an area. He says that the roads in the township have to be looked at. He would like to have a plan where a schedule is set up to deal with fixing roads. He wants to promote the township and try to convince residents to buy local as well as spending more of their leisure time locally.
RE-ELECT Ken Finnerty Councilor Ken Finnerty has lived in Kemptville all his life and is devoted to working to improve life in North Grenville. For over 20 years, Ken has worked with various councils to keep taxes low, while improving roads and services available to all residents. He is well regarded in the community as a tireless worker who gets all the facts before making informed decisions to grow this community properly. On October 25, Re-elect Ken Finnerty for councilor. Let him continue to serve the residents of North Grenville in the way he has for over 20 years.

Kemptville Advance - OCTOBER 14, 2010

Sports 73’s get rough ride but come up winning BRIAN WILSON Special to the Advance
The Kemptville 73’s kicked the week off on Tuesday, Oct. 5 with a visit to Smiths Falls to tackle the Bears. The game was played at the Youth Arena as the new facility is not completed yet. The first period was an evenly matched affair with Smiths Falls taking a 2-1 lead into the intermission. Brandon Lesway notched the 73’s goal with his fifth of the season. In the second period, the Bears scored twice and continued their momentum into the third. Kemptville goaltender, Morgan Hudson, faced 20 shots in the third period and was able to keep the Bears from scoring, but his team was unable to take advantage of his remarkable effort. The 73’s went down in defeat
by a score of 4-1. Back home in North Grenville on Friday, Oct. 8, the 73’s were hoping for a better fate than the last game. They were facing the always tough Pembroke Lumber Kings. The first period was a hard fought 1-1 battle. Daniel Lacroix scored his fourth of the year for the 73’s. With two seconds left, Pembroke scored to carry a one goal lead into the dressing room. The 73’s tied the game again just three and a half minutes into the second with a goal by Keegan Rowe. But the Lumber Kings netted two more just 50 seconds apart, capitalizing on a couple of turnovers. Kemptville’s Nick Duhn got one of those back, but Pembroke added two more before the end of the period, again scoring in the last minute.
The third period was more of the same. Pembroke scored another three times in the period. The 73’s answered with two of their own, both by Eric Malloy. Special teams seemed to be the problem of this game with Pembroke scoring three times on the power play and one short handed. The Lumber Kings blasted 40 shots at Kemptville goaltenders and won the game by a score of 9-5. On Thanksgiving Day Sunday, Oct. 10, had the Hawkesbury Hawks traveling to North Grenville for the first time this season. The first period was again an even match with the teams tied at 1 each at the intermission. Scoring for the 73’s was Ben Hutton with his second of the year. The second period saw the wheels fall off for Kemptville. The Hawks

The 73’s Morgan Hudson makes save off Bears player. scored four straight goals before the 73’s got one back by Brendan Rousselle. Hawkesbury took a 5-2 lead at the end of
two. The young 73’s dug deep and scored three in the third to tie the game. Scoring for the 73’s in the third were Daniel Lacroix,
Mark Hough and Keegan Rowe. Regulation time and overtime ended with the teams deadlocked at 5 each. The shootout went to seven shooters when Brandon Lesway notched the winning goal to give Kemptville the 6-5 victory. Upcoming games feature Kemptville traveling to Brockville on Monday, Oct. 11 to battle the Braves. Then the Carleton Place Canadians will be the opposition for back to back games. The Canadians come to Kemptville on Friday, Oct. 15 and the 73’s go to Carleton Place on Saturday. Oct.16. Game time Friday is 7:30 p.m. at the North Grenville Municipal Centre. Come out and support the Kemptville 73’s, your local Junior A team. Catch the excitement!
