The Dundas Hand in Hand committee serves up a great Thanksgiving Day meal.

Thursday, Oct. 28 , 2010 David Gordon and his family celebrated his win over long time North Grenville mayor Bill Gooch. The final tally put Gordon at almost twice the number of votes than veteran councillor and mayor Bill Gooch. It was a long but rewarding evening on Monday, Oct. 25 for Gordon’s supporters and family. Maintaining healthy growth while enhancing and protecting community values is high on Gordon’s list of goals. In this photo he is flanked by sons Jason and Neil and wife Pam. Daughter Davina is absent.

North Grenville has voted out long time mayor Bill Gooch and replaced him with community builder Dave Gordon. The results of the 2010 municipal election were a long time in coming for candidates and voters on election night. The online and telephone voting had been going on all week and then on Monday, Oct. 25 election night the system handling all of the online voting across the province became overloaded. As a result, North Grenville’s first experience with electronic voting came with a great deal of

suspense. Eventually the numbers came in and Dave Gordon had collected almost twice as many votes than incumbent Mayor Bill Gooch. The final tally was 1,740 for Gooch and 3,308 for Gordon. Despite the change at the top the rest of the North Grenville council stayed the same. Re-elected were Tim Sutton, Barb Tobin, Terry Butler and Ken Finnerty. “I am very humbled,” said a tired David Gordon who celebrated with his wife Pam and family at the branch restaurant in Kemptville. Gordon said that he and his supporters worked hard for this win. “I have lost count of how many

people I have talked to,” he said. He estimated that he went to 75 per cent of the homes in North Grenville during his campaign. “I love this community,” he said. Gordon believes getting young people working is a priority as well as finding ways to make the local government more transparent and accessible to the public. One priority is to find ways to bring light industry to the area and then more employment. The Gordon campaign was marked by a consistent low key message and stayed away from any negative moments. “I am really proud of the positive campaign my husband had,” said

Pam. The returning councilors were relieved as their numbers came up. Tim Sutton said, “I am very pleased with the support people have shown me. Barb Tobin felt honoured with the respect her community was showing her by asking her to remain a councillor. Ken Finnerty was happy to be re-elected. He felt the council was doing a good job. “Everyone seems happy with what they are doing.” Terry Butler said, “I am happy with the results,” he said “it is quite an honour when that many people have faith in you,” he added. Outgoing mayor Bill Gooch could not be reached for comment

Given the opportunity people are happy to give what they can to help others. As Thanksgiving Day came around for another year a small group of people got together to talk about different ways rural poverty could be addressed. Beginning with the formation of a new group called Hand in Hand: A voice for rural poverty in Dundas County in May came some interesting ideas. One was to hold a Thanksgiving dinner at the Winchester United Church. Within a few days volunteers had prepared food and even music for the special occasion and on Friday, Oct. 8 the dinner was held. The theme of the dinner was not giving away free food but about spending some time with whoever arrived at the church. There were visitors who always spent their Thanksgiving

Day alone and rarely shared a meal with anyone. “Everything just came together very quickly,” remembers Pauline Pratt of Lazarus House in Mountain and a member of Hand in Hand. She said that while no one asked anyone for goodwill donations there was a basket full of donated money being passed around the room. The meal included a 40 lb. turkey, homemade soup, dressing, vegetables and 100 lbs. of peeled potatoes courtesy of Theos’ Country Kitchen. Once the idea was put out into the community after the Hand in Hand meeting, “The response was immediate,” said Pratt. “There was no hesitation.” The dinner included music played by Colleen Howard on the piano along with Maureen Heuff who did the singing. Backed by a small army of volunteers the dinner was a success with more than 20 meals sent out to people in the community

who could not get out to the church and another 30 meals served at the church. One volunteer who was having a fun evening as one of the many dishwashers was Marion Keefe-Byrne. She said, “I came and cleaned the tables. I like it here in the kitchen. We are having fun. I am meeting all kinds of people”. The Minister of the Winchester United Church, Christine Lowson, was at the dinner. She pointed out that there were many ways people could be impoverished, a lack of money being only one. “This was a great opportunity to be together,” she said. The Hand in Hand group was formed after

the Interfaith Social Assistance Reform Coalition audit held last April in Mountain. The group has held several meetings where the topics ranged from dealing with depression in the community to stress and anxiety. The Hand in Hand group has made a commitment to advocate for geared to income housing in North Dundas. “We are looking to develop partnerships with various communities and groups in order to provide opportunities for everyone to work together to break the cycle of poverty in Dundas,” said Pratt.

In his 40 years with World Scouting, Barry Hardaker never volunteered his time for recognition and accolades. Recognition is exactly what he got on Oct. 16 when Hardaker was received into the World Baden-Powell Fellowship in a ceremony at the Museum of Civilization in Gatineau. Hardaker was received by international royalty including King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden, Queen Silvia, also of Sweden and the Honorary President of the World Scout Foundation. “I’m very honored and very humbled by it,” said Hardaker. “This is something that I never, ever expected. I was very pleasantly surprised but humbled when someone said that they wanted to recognize me.” Hardaker says that the nomination was submitted anonymously, and he still does not know who put his name in for consideration. The anonymous party also donated $10,000 to help kids and scouts in developing countries. The fellowship “recognizes people who have made a significant contribution to scouting around the world.” “My biggest satisfaction working with the scouts is knowing that the work we do helps kids become decent citizens in their own communities,” said Hardaker. As far as meeting royalty, Hardaker was taken aback by how “down to earth” both the King and Queen are. “Meeting the royalty, being presented to them, and chatting with them was really a good experience,” said Hardaker. “The king is the honorary chair of the World Scout Foundation, and he is a scout. He wore his scout uniform and we brought them out to one of our camps on the weekend and they ate at picnic tables with the kids, the King and Queen both.” In his 40 years serving Scouting in six councils in addition to being a volunteer and executive staff member, Hardaker has made a difference in the lives of children worldwide. Most projects that Hardaker has taken part in help the local communities in the North Grenville area, but he has also taken part of initiatives world wide to help orphaned children

get off the streets, become scouts, and gain life skills in order to become functioning members of society. “We teach life skills, we build schools, we assist and provide money to help kids in places like Pakistan and Haiti that have experienced a really bad event or tragedy,” said Hardaker. “We also help provide clean drinking water, and tree planting. The focus is mostly on orphans and street kids, making them scouts, and helping them develop within their own community to make it a better community.” “It’s pretty noble work and we’ve helped thousands and thousands of children around the world in places like the Philippines, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Monogolia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, African countries, Europe, the Arab region, and Eurasia,” said Hardaker. As far as a favorite memory, Hardaker cites several Canadian and world jamborees, which brings scouts from 22 countries and territories world wide, in particular one event that took place in Australia. “I was one of the team that took 1,000 Canadians

They meet different cultures from around the world and gain a better understanding and appreci-

ation of different cultures, religions, traditions and customs around the world. The common denominator is that everyone is a scout.” Hardaker has been a resident of North Grenville for the last eight and a half years, and is also the executive director for White Pine and Voyageur Councils in Ontario.

COMMUNITY

Moving forward

Have fun but take care

Any election, regardless of who won and lost can be used as an indication of what people are thinking. The 2010 municipal election is no exception. There were upsets right across this part of Ontario. In North Dundas the youngest mayor in Canada was elected. Twenty-two year old Eric Duncan was able to sweep past veteran Alvin Runnalls to take the reins in what turned out to be a battle between youth and experience. Bill Sloan got past Larry Dishaw in Edwardsburg-Cardinal to become that township’s new mayor and in Merrrickville-Wolford Doug Struthers was acclaimed while most of the old council was replaced. In North Grenville voters made an overwhelming decision to try something different. Dave Gordon is well known in the community but not necessarily as a politician. While being connected to every level of government as well as to grassroots organizations Gordon seems to be more like your neighbour than anything else. He likes people, delivers his thoughts in a straightforward way and has no problem fighting for what he believes is right. At the same time he does not threaten the existing North Grenville political structure. If anything, some would consider Gordon to be the icing on the cake. The cake being North Grenville after ten years of getting ready to grow and now finally ready to blossom. Much has been made of the growth along County Road 43. There have been a record number of building permits issued. There is a new public high school taking shape as well as an addition to St. Michael Catholic High School. There is the Colonnade development, and the completion of an addition to the Kemptville District hospital. The new library is taking shape before the community’s eyes. Along with all of the growth comes the specter of the town of Kemptville, as we know it, fading away as shiny and new take centre stage away from history, timelessness and rural sensibilities. Dave Gordon will be trying to balance the new with what is best about the old and in doing so, he will be completing a cycle of renewal and rebuilding. The former North Grenville council was reelected. The good work being done will continue. All of the candidates are applauded for stepping up for their community. There are no losers.

Halloween is a fun time of year however parents should remain concerned about the safety of all their little trick or treaters. Motorists should be watching out for children darting out from between parked cars. Children will be walking on roadways, medians and curbs. Take care entering and exciting driveways. Children in dark costumes can be difficult to see in the evening. Parents should be supervising any children under the age of 12. Children should be wary of entering homes or apartments without an adult by their side. Remember to inspect all those goodies once your children have returned home. Wash fruit and slice into small pieces and when in doubt throw it out.

LETTER

Safety issues lead to misunderstanding Firstly, I would like to thank all the generous businesses and donators who contributed to another successful Scouts Canada Apple Day Fundraiser which took place a few weeks ago in Kemptville. Apple Day is one of two major fundraisers that our Scouts units benefit directly from. This involves the Beavers, Cubs, and Scouts positioned in various locations throughout our community seeking donations in support of our Apple Day program—a donation in return for an apple. Unfortunately, we experienced firsthand a “bad apple” within our community. While I, along with other Scouts, were stationed in front of Brewed Awakening (who I wish to thank for generously donating a free hot chocolate coupon to all the individuals taking part in Apple Day) my brother and a fellow Scout were positioned in front of M&M Meat Shops. It was here that my brother and his partner were asked to remove themselves from the front of their

establishment. They had no idea what they did wrong. As it turns out, they weren’t doing anything wrong at all! It seems that some businesses might consider us “loitering” but, are we really taking away from their business? As my Dad mentioned, there are plenty of examples of what kids shouldn’t be doing in front of businesses and this is certainly not one of them. I agree! Being shunned away for doing what we thought was a good thing is not a nice feeling at all. I found out that although there may be some “bad apples”, there are definitely more “good apples” within our community. So thank you once again to all the “good apples” that supported us in this endeavor. We really do appreciate you making our Apple Day a true success. We look forward to seeing you once again on Poppy Day where all representatives of Scouts Canada will be out seeking donations for Vice-President & Regional Publisher Chris McWebb chris.mcwebb@metroland.com Regional General Manager John Willems john.willems@metroland.com

Bill Sloan wins Edwardsburgh-Cardinal race ANDREW SZTEIN

HOWAIDA SOROUR

andrew.sztein@metroland.com

Special to the Advance

It was a rematch of the 2006 mayoral election, but the results were reversed this time. Bill Sloan, who previously served 12 years on council including six as deputy reeve/mayor, defeated incumbent Larry Dishaw by nearly doubling the number of votes from his opponent. Sloan received 1557 total votes, including 931 electronic votes. Dishaw only received 871 votes total, giving Sloan a sizable margin of victory. It’s a victory that Sloan attributes to tenacity and hard work. “I went to every door in the whole township,” said Sloan. “I started the Tuesday right after the Spencerville fair, and it took me five weeks to do every house in the township.” Most of the council was also turned over, with six new bodies taking seats. In ward 1, Joe Scott and Charles Burrell defeated incumbent Hugh Cameron. In ward 2, Gerry Morrell will join incumbent Patrick Sayeau on the council, and in ward 3 Brenda Ball and John Hunter defeated incumbent councilor Kirk Jones. Priority one for the new mayor is to improve the condition of the roads and pathways in Edwardsburgh-Cardinal. “I’d like to see our roads improved more,” said Sloan. “You have to set aside so much money each year for paving and gravel. If not, you’re going to get in trouble four or five years down the road.” Dishaw was gracious in defeat, thanking the electorate and his campaign staff.

It was clear from the results, that the residents of Merrickville-Wolford were looking for change. Of the four incumbents running for re-election only Timothy Molloy a 16-year veteran of council was reelected. “These results were interesting,” said Molloy, moments after the results were announced. “It’s going to be like sitting at council for the first time again because everyone else is new and we’ll have to get to know one another.” “There were some really interesting results. I feel great,” said Nash. David Snowdon was not available for comment. Meanwhile, candidates running for Councillors at Large and Merrickville Ward had a while longer to wait “It’s kind of like childbirth or baseball, a lot of hurry-up and wait,” joked Jane Graham, who ran for re-election as Councillor at Large but lost her seat. Instead, Anne Barr, who has never sat at council found herself a newly minted Councillor-

Outgoing mayor of Edwardsburgh-Cardinal Larry Dishaw congratulates challenger Bill Sloan on his victory in the mayoral race on Oct. 25. Sloan won a decisive victory with nearly double Dishaw’s electoral votes. “I feel relieved that this is over and I get my life back” said Dishaw. “I’ve spent 15 years in a political life, and the voters have spoken. I wish the township well and I’ll always hold it close to my heart.” “I did the best job that I knew how to do,” said Dishaw, adding that he plans to spend his newfound free time spending time with his seven grandchildren. Before getting to work as mayor next month, Sloan is “just going to relax a couple of days,” after which he will meet with council in an effort to “cut costs and get spending back under control.”

North Dundas votes for change Special to the Advance

A joyous Eric Duncan exclaimed upon learning that he was the newly elected mayor of North Dundas, “I am relieved, and naturally overwhelmed to see the numbers.” Duncan defeated the incumbent Alvin Runnalls by receiving 3517 votes while Runnalls garnered just 1328. “When I was going door to door I heard that people were looking for change, but I never took anything for granted,” said Duncan. North Dundas citizens were, indeed, looking for change. After serving in municipal politics for more than two decades and being the first female SD&G United Counties warden, Estella Rose lost her position of deputy mayor to political newcomer, Gerry Boyce. Rose received 2142 votes to Boyce’s 2596. Of the three councillors who were elected, two were incumbents. John Thompson received 2839 votes and Al Armstrong received 2382. Political newcomer, Tony Fraser, secured the third councillor’s seat with 2008 votes. 56.9% of those eligible voted, and the percentage might have been higher

Eric Duncan celebrates being elected mayor of North Dundas if technical problems hadn’t plagued the system just shortly before the polls closed, leading the township to allow voting to continue one hour past the 8pm deadline. These problems will be looked into by the township, stated Duncan. “We will do a post-mortem on the voting system. His platform included finishing the remaining 170 km of gravel roads in the township with chip and tar, and eliminating some of the red tape that developers encounter when dealing with town hall.

Acclaimed Mayor Doug Struthers was on hand long before the first results began to emerge and expressed his admiration and support for all the candidates. “I know every one of the candidates, these are friends and neighbours who have taken a very bold step, in a very public forum by stepping up for election and I think every

Scott Moffatt roared past incumbent councillor Glenn Brooks on election night, becoming Rideau-Goulbourn Ward’s new councillor with 52.64 per cent of the vote compared to 26.48 per cent for Brooks. Speaking at his election night gathering at the Marlborough Pub in North Gower, Moffatt attributed his success this time to canvassing more homes in the ward and speaking to more people during the campaign. He said that he also was helped by having some initial name recognition from his run for the position in 2006. He said that he felt that if he could attract 4,500 votes, he would win the ward and so he admitted to some surprise at his final vote total of 5,048 votes, more than half of the total of 9,589 votes cast in the ward. He said that when the three first polls reported, all with substantial majorities for him, he knew that he would be doing well in the election. The councillor-elect said that he wants to be a strong voice for the ward on city council while also focusing on the smaller issues that his campaigning revealed are of concern to many ward residents such as snow plowing and roads. He wants the city to get back to the ba-

sics of what municipal government should be doing. The 40 or so supporters who were at the Marlborough Pub, many of whom were wearing white T-shirts with “Elect Scott Moffatt” on them, were a lively bunch as they shared the victorious evening with the new councillor. A much different atmosphere prevailed at the Manotick Legion where there was not much to celebrate. Shortly after the polls closed they showed Moffatt ahead with 55 per cent of the vote, double the 27 per cent of Brooks with half of the results reported. About 30 people chatted in small groups in one room where sandwiches and goodies filled a table while about 15 people were in an adjacent room, listening to a radio broadcast of the results. Some disbelief was voiced in the room, suggesting that the polls reporting may have been small ones and may not have been in areas where Coun. Brooks might be expected to be strong. But when the bad news continued over the radio – 8:27 p.m., with Moffatt with 53 per cent of the vote; at 8:30 p.m., with Scott Moffatt leading with 53 percent of the vote compared to 26 per cent for Brooks, with 74 per cent of the polls reported; and at 8:35 p.m., when it was suggested that Scott Moffatt had a big lead in Rideau-Goulbourn – there wasn’t much chatter in the room.

Thompson still king of Osgoode DANIEL NUGENT-BOWMAN AND HADAS PARUSH Even though the race in Osgoode ward wasn’t overly close, Doug Thompson wasn’t able to count his chickens like he could in 2006. While acclaimed as Osgoode councillor four years ago, Thompson had to wait patiently for the numbers to favourably role in. In the end, he received 67.26 per cent of the vote – good enough for a comfortable victory. “I think I’ve proven that even though I’ve been there for 27 years the voters still – by a wide margin – support the work I do,” Thompson said. “It is very gratifying.” Candidate Mark Scharfe, who finished in second place at 23.36 per cent, was taken aback by the results. “I thought it would be closer than that,” Scharfe said, before thanking all of his volunteers. “I ran a campaign based on common sense but it wasn’t good enough

to unseat Doug.” Challenger Bob Masaro – who earned 9.38 per cent – said it was difficult running against and incumbent, especially since he felt that people weren’t aware of the issues at hand. Still, based on the reaction he got from people on the campaign trail, he thought Thompson would have a rougher ride. “I’m still licking my wounds and collecting my thoughts,” Masaro said, just a couple hours after his defeat. “If effort meant anything it would have been done better.” Thompson said he felt he was able to win because he listened to the voters and was flexible enough to role with their wishes. “I’ve been able to grow with people as our community changes,” he said. “I’ve been able to develop my political life and my political style as it changed because it has changed drastically in ten years since amalgamation.” He added that a borough system is likely coming within his upcoming term.

Scott Moffatt gives the thumbs up in anticipation of his victory in Monday’s municipal election, being elected as City of Ottawa councillor for the Rideau-Goulbourn ward. At 8:45 p.m., with 14 out of 19 polls reported, Sandra Hodges, an assistant to councillor Brooks, summed it up: “It looks like it’s over.” At 8:50 p.m., councillor Brooks was on the radio in person, congratulating Scott

The remaining 15 mayoral candidates collected only three per cent of the vote, led by Robert Gauthier with 1,413 votes. The polls attracted a low turnout with only 269,547 registered voters casting a ballot in the 2010 mayoral election, down from 300,039 votes cast in the 2006 election.

The winds of change swept city hall on election night. Ottawa elected a new mayor on Monday, Oct. 25, as Jim Watson cruised to a lopsided victory collecting 131,258 votes, or nearly half of the vote, easily trouncing the incumbent, Larry O’Brien by 66,405 votes. “Tonight we are celebrating but the hard work starts tomorrow,” said Watson, who celebrated his win with hundreds of well wishers at the Ukrainian Banquet Photo by Lois Siegel Hall on Byron Avenue. “Each and every one of you embodies the spirit of our With files from Laura Jim Watson celcapital.

The Gorgeous Grannies and Friends in North Gower are determined to do what they can to support their fellow grandmothers in Africa. Their first fundraising event has raised almost $6,000 from the sale of Kazuri jewelry. Included in that total are funds from refreshments and vendor donations . The group, one of 240 spread across Canada and one of 25 in the Ottawa area is dedicated to raising funds, and awareness about the plight of AIDS orphaned grandchildren being raised by their grandmothers in Africa.

The Gorgeous Grannies and Friends were at the Pierceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Corner Hall on Saturday, Oct. 23 for their inaugural fundraising event. The day featured hand-made Kazuri jewelry. The jewelry is hand crafted in the town of Kazuri, a small suburb, located in Nairobi. With an unemployment rate over 40 per cent. Kazuri Jewelry, a fair trade company employs more than 340 Kenyans.

Sports Kemptville 73’s shut out BRIAN WILSON Special to the Advance

On Friday, Oct. 22, the Kanata Stallions stampeded into North Grenville to play the 73’s. Hoping to work on their recent successes, the 73’s came out flat. Kanata scored once in the first and added two power play goals in the second. Kemptville’s penalty killing is improving as they managed to kill off nine of the Stallions power play opportunities. Kanata won the little battles all night long, being first on the puck and taking away the available space for the 73’s and blocking shots. There was no scoring in the third period and the Stallions went on to a 3-0 victory. On a rainy Sunday night, Oct. 24, the

Cornwall Colts rode into town to do battle with the 73’s. The Colts demonstrated why they have only lost two games this year. They took a total of 46 shots on the 73’s goaltenders. Cornwall scored twice in the first period, one of which was a power play goal. In the second period, they added two more goals on the power play. The third period had them add one more goal, this one at even strength. Cornwall cruised to a 5-0 victory. The Colts were dominating and controlled all aspects of the game. This week’s upcoming home game features the Nepean Raiders as the opposition. The Raiders will take on the 73’s at the Municipal Centre on Friday night, The Kanata Stallions got the better of the Kemptville 73’s with a 3-0 win. Oct. 29. Game time is 7:30 p.m.

Birth of a hospital insider Nicolas Ruszkowski

Nicolas Ruszkowski VP, Communications Ottawa Hospital In 1992, I moved in with my Polish grandparents; Babcia (grandma) and Dziadzio (grandpa). Before long, I noticed my grandmother’s calling as a person who communicated, rather frequently, with Ottawa’s hospital establishment. One day, I found a ﬁle folder that belonged to Babcia. It was literally bursting at the seams, ﬁlled with two dozen letters to hospital CEOs around the city. “Wait times are too long,” she wrote. Why are emergency departments so busy? Why don’t I have easier access to my patient records? Can you do more to manage the pain I’ve had since my hip replacement? Are those child-like people in white lab coats really doctors? Now, in my role as Vice-President, Communications and Outreach at The Ottawa Hospital, I often think of Babcia. Wait times, high occupancy, patient records,

pain management, quality and safety of care; the issues she worried about then are still completely relevant today. How would she feel about that? She would hate that we still deal with the same problems, but she’d appreciate our progress. She would love writing to one hospital CEO, instead of three, since the merger of the General, Civic and Riverside hospitals into The Ottawa Hospital. She would be impressed to know The Ottawa Hospital serves 1.2 million Eastern Ontarians, and sees more patients in a year than any other academic health science centre in Canada. She would remind me that hospitals, imperfect or not, were always there for her and Dziadzio. Fractures were painful, but surgeries allowed my grandparents to walk well into their nineties. She would want to know what hospitals do, in spite of their challenges, to ensure they still provide the comfort, care and hope our communities need to keep thriving. This column is for Babcia, and anyone else who cares about their healthcare. Nicolas Ruszkowski is VP, Communications and Outreach at The Ottawa Hospital. Each week, he will share behind-the-scenes insight from the hospital. E-mail him at nruszkowski@toh.on.ca

It’s expected that riders will come from throughout the capital region and will take a tour of the communities of North Grenville before turning back to return to Ottawa. “This is welcome news to confirm we will see so many riders and their families coming to our area,” said Mayor Bill Gooch. “It’s a win-win combining philanthropy and tourism. I’m overjoyed our community will have this type of exposure.” Jim Summers, chairman of the Ottawa chapter for Motorcycle Ride for Dad shared the sentiment. “We’re v e r y pleased,”

Being prepared is the best defense against the flu. Flu season is on its way, which means it’s time again to get your flu shots. With the introduction of the H1N1 virus last year, people can expect to see a flu season similar to last years. This is why a vaccine is given, to help prevent the spread of the influenza virus that comes around every year. The vaccine is said to provide a protection against the three most common strains that re-cycle every year. Protection against the H1N1 strand is to be given as well. Doctors and medics agree that the flu shot is the safest way to protect yourself and those around you from the virus. Young children, pregnant women and elderly citizens are encouraged to get the vac-

cine shot, especially children between the ages of six months and nine years. This group is recommended to receive a flu shot then return one month later for a second dose. However there are some people the flu shot is not recommended for, to find out if you are one contact your local or family doctor. The vaccine protects nearly 70 per cent of people who receive the shot. People are still able to get the flu after taking the shot but the symptoms will not be as great as an unvaccinated person. “The influenza vaccine does not contain live virus,” said Director of Clinical Services Jane Futcher, “Most people have no reaction at all to their vaccine, while some report having pain at the spot where the needle is given. This can last up to two days. Some people get muscle aches and fever and feel tired for a day or two after the needle.

This is not influenza.” Aside from the long lines at the clinic, the flu shot is easy and free to get. To get more information about the flu or for a list of community clinics giving free flu shots, please call 1-800660-5853 or 613-345-5685 or visit the Health Unit website at www. healthunit.org.

Christmas is the perfect time for any community choir. This Christmas marks the 28th season for the Spencerville Community Choir. Rehearsals for the choir began in the beginning of September, and are to be continued every Monday until the scheduled times of their performances in early December. The choir has gained a total of 40 members since the start of this year’s rehearsals. The choir will not be taking any more this year because of the

great number of people that arrived this year. “We’re well on the way to the performing date, we’re almost half way through our rehearsal schedule, unless the phenomenal tenor or bass walk through the door, we are in particular need of men who sing bass and men or women who sing tenor,” said Choir Director Sheila Fawcett. Practices are well under way and it’s shaping up to be a top notch performance. When asked about the pieces for the event Sheila said they have a variety of music ranging from soothing contemporary to pieces from the earlier times, as

well as a piece by Antonio Vivaldi. It’s the hard work and dedication these vocalists put forward that makes them what they are. “Our accompanist, Abe TeGrotenhuis, provides a CD of the music broken into parts, so each person can practice at home,” said Sheila. Not only that, but with the guidance of an excellent director, now in her 17th year conducting, did they achieve their choral goals. “We now draw an ecumenical community choir. People come from Prescott Spencerville, Oxford Mills, and Heckston. 422509

9 Ways to Make Halloween Safer

342258

Halloween is a time for people young and old to enjoy a little mischief and mayhem. To make the holiday even more enjoyable, revelers can heed a few tips to Halloween is more enjoyable when safety is part of the holiday. make Halloween as safe as it is fun. 1. Use face paints instead of masks that obscure vision. 2. Wear reﬂective tape on darker costumes or when trick-or-treating at night. 3. LED lights or glow sticks are a safer alternative to lit candles. Some lights even ﬂicker to offer the appeal of candles. 4. Trick-or-treat in a group and never alone. 5. Take a planned route and don’t wander off the path. 6. Be sure costumes are not tripping hazards. 7. Costumes on young children should be age-appropriate and free of hazards, such as strings that can strangle or small parts that can choke. 8. Stick to trick-or-treating in trusted neighborhoods. 9. Be extra-cautious of cars when walking at night.

The second annual School Challenge Project to raise funds for Ryan’s Well is under way. The initiative, which was started by young Kemptville native Ryan Hreljac, helps build fresh water wells in impoverished na-

tions. The fundraising goal this year is $25,000 with construction starting in early October with an expected completion date of Mar. 22, 2011. “The school challenge is ongoing,” said Elisabeth Rubli, Education coordinator for Ryan’s Well. “We need our projects fully funded before we can start build-

ing.” Rubli and Ryan’s Well foundation is calling upon Kemptville schools to help take part in the fundraising efforts. “We’re hoping Kemptville schools will get involved, because of the fact that Ryan went to school in Kemptville, so we’re hoping the five Kemptville schools will take part,” said

Rubli. No pledge forms have been officially endorsed by any of the Kemptville area schools yet, but Rubli has been in touch with student groups and teachers and fundraising is already underway. Interested parties can pledge to help throughout November and as late as December. “We have so many students in

school all over the country that want to get involved,” said Rubli. “They do fundraisers at school and they send us a cheque at the end of the year. We get the funds and we add it to whatever project they choose off our website.” The foundation will advance the funds before they are actually raised, so that construction can begin sooner to help the students in Uganda and so participating students can see the fruits of their efforts. The well being built needs water, sanitation and hygiene stations for a school of 905 students and 13 teachers. The project includes a new drilled well, two latrine blocks, handwashing facilities, and hygiene education activities. The project is in the same district as the first well that the Foundation built in 2001. “Water is everything,” said Rubli. “Without water they can’t go to school because they’re out fetching water. Without school they can’t have an education, they don’t have plans for the future, they get sick. The water is for the school, but it’s used by the whole community.” Last year, the school challenge managed to successfully raise $22,000 for a water and sanitation project in Togo. Students

Kemptville Advance - OCTOBER 28, 2010

One weekend a couple of our dinner guests pointed out that Misty appeared to be favouring her front left foot. Well, no wonder. The girl hasn’t had a pedicure since before she went off to “summer camp” to be bred, and she has been gallivanting over glacial moraine for the rest of the season. She probably stubbed her hoof on a rock and cracked it. I called the farrier. For the next few days we couldn’t get our schedules coordinated, so Misty had to wait til the weekend. Finally, on Sunday night, just as we were welcoming the first of our 18 expected dinner guests, Thad the farrier called. Our knight in oiled chaps. Our saviour of the hooves. He was in the area. We turned the veggies down to a low boil and headed out to entice Misty into the stable. It was a beautiful fall day, and we found her standing with her friend Donkey under the low

And we’ll go walking in the sunshine With a big smile on our face, Race the river to the ocean, Go splashing in the waves, And I’ll wrap my arms around you, We’ll be together once again. And I’ll tell you how much I’ve missed you My old friend. I know you’re up there looking down On that rainbow bridge we talked about, There’s a place for me and you Somewhere up there behind the moon. (Song & lyrics Johnny Reid)

Special to the Advance

Many local businesses and people gave Marleen their full support with the use of emails, cards and phone calls. All of which goes to show how much they enjoyed her enchanting Christmas tracks such as “Silent Night” and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”. Also featured on the album are a number of gospel tracks including “His Eye on the Sparrow”, “Free at Last”, and a duet sung by Marleen and her daughter. Despite the time and money that

goes into making an album, her producer Al Bragg put all his effort into making this CD and feels “This CD is the biggest

production I have done.” The cd will get radio play on Valley Heritage Radio 98.7 fm during the Christmas season.

We are proud to bring you the freshest turkeys available from Lyon’s Turkey Farm in Spencerville. The turkeys are always all natural vegetable grain fed with no animal by products.
