Jim Brownell is a household name in Stormont, Dundas and South Glengarry. He is retiring. He has been a Liberal Member of the Provincial Parliament since 2003. Citing health reasons and his desire to be able to spend more time with is family, Brownell made his official announcement in early November. Widely respected in his community, Brownell has been good for SD&G. He admitted that as much as he loved serving the community his battle with arthritis has been getting more difficult. “I struggle with arthritis,” he said, adding,” When I want to do something I want to be able to do it quickly.” Brownell explained that he still had a few projects on the go that he wants to see finished before he retires. His wife Paulette was thrilled when he told her he was not going to run again. “She has had to put up with a great deal. She had a huge smile when I told her,” said Brownell. Looking back at his time as M.P.P. and his career as municipal politician before that, he was thoughtful. “It will be emotional when I leave,” he said. Brownell began his political career after 32 years as a teacher with the Upper Canada School Board. He was a councillor for 14 years, a deputy reeve and then
reeve of Cornwall Township and the Township of South Stormont. In 2000 he was appointed to a three-year term as the Commissioner with the St. Lawrence Parks Commission. He served as president of the Lost Villages Historical Society and Museum from 1992 to 2003. In 2003 he was elected to the provincial government. “I have not lost my enthusiasm for politics,” he said. Brownell was instrumental in helping to get the $1.2 million for the restoration of the Iroquois Mall. He played a major role in securing financing for the South Dundas sewage treatment plant in Morrisburg and his crowning achievement was being part of the Winchester District Memorial Hospital restoration project. “One of the achievements I will always remember is the Winchester Hospital,” he said. Ironically the hospital was built in the same year, 1949 that he was born. He does have one regret and that is the expansion of Highway 138. That was one project the wanted to see through. In a press release Ontario’s Premier, Dalton McGuinty said, “It’s been great working with Jim Brownell. He is a genuinely caring man who has done so much to improve health care and education for Cornwall families. McGuinty added,” I wish him all the best as he gets closer to his retirement which, knowing Jim will inevitably involve some kind of public service.”

Greely leader to push for pathway links EMMA JACKSON emma.jackson@metroland.com
The multi-use pathway under construction between Osgoode village and Leitrim Road should be an important first step to linking Ottawa South’s rural neighbourhoods, the president of the Greely community association has said. Association president Bruce Brayman said that for Greely residents, he believes the motorized vehicle debate currently dominating rural pathway discussions has overshadowed a more important opportunity to consider linking the area’s major pathways to surrounding communities. “For me, my number one focus in terms of pathways for the next couple of years is to try to get Greely and the other rural communities linked into the system,” he said. “It would be great if we could link Greely to the paths in Manotick or Osgoode.” He said he would love to make use of the various pathways in the region, including the new Osgoode stone dust path, but he said there’s no way he’ll take his family on busy roads with no shoulders in order to get there. “Greely residents can’t go more than two miles without going on a major artery like Parkway Road,” he said. Brayman said that at amalgamation, the new city made linked rural pathways a priority, but so far nothing has come of it. There’s no champion. I’m just one guy who lives in Greely, one guy in a big city. There’s no champion to push to link the pathways.” Osgoode councillor Doug Thompson, on the contrary, said he’s optimistic about the idea, believing a pathway linking program could be under way as early as late 2011. “With the advent of the multi-use pathway (in Osgoode) coming on-stream in April or May, there is an interest in connecting the villages and the different subdivisions in Greely to the multi-use pathway,” he said. Thompson said the city’s planners are generally very supportive of pathways in the rural areas, so he doesn’t expect any bureaucratic delays. “Planning staff look favourably on developers who want to plan for pathways, especially in Greely where the subdivisions are quite separated from one another. I am optimistic about the project moving ahead quickly,” he said. Brayman will continue to push for the links, he said, encouraging Greely residents to speak up and join in if they hope to bring the project to fruition.

The RCMP along with the O.P.P. have arrested a 40 year-old Kemptville resident for smuggling contraband cigarettes. On Dec. 3, the Kingston Royal Canadian Mounted Police Customs and Excise Section and the Kemptville Ontario Provincial Police stopped a vehicle they believed was involved in smuggling. They had had the vehicle and driver under surveillance for some time. The truck a 1994 GMC Sierra was travelling west on County Road 43 when stopped west of Kemptville. The pick-up truck was found to be loaded with 250,000 contraband cigarettes. The value of the contraband was estimated at $27,500. He will appear on Friday, Jan. 14, 2011, in Brockville Court. If convicted the man could face a minimum fine of $42,500.00. In a press release Corporal Blair Kelly of the RCMP Kingston Detachment stated, “The overall goal of the RCMP Customs and Excise Section is to protect Canadians and the economic integrity of Canada from both trans-national and domestic criminality. band tobacco are key components to achieving this outcome.”

Schedule ‘you time’ in 2011 Another year on the calendar looms and, for many of us right about now, annual thoughts of a new year’s resolution arise once more. Quit smoking, work less, lose weight, get active, take a vacation or go back to school. A good resolution that many forget about is scheduling “you time.” It’s important take the time to recharge and refresh yourself; a healthy work-life balance demands time out. All work and no play is a recipe for mental and physical disaster. So if you have trouble freeing up time to do the things you enjoy, write time regularly into your schedule to “meet with yourself ” and stick to that commitment. If you won’t invest in yourself, who will? If you’re like most people, you spend lunch time on the phone or trying to catch up on paperwork. You try to fulfill your family commitments and other obligations. You fit in a few more hours of work in the evening, or even pull an occasional all-nighter when a deadline looms. And you feel especially stressed because there’s never enough time, no matter how hard you work.It’s not the amount of time that matters, but our perception of it and that depends upon our attitude. We can all remember occasions when time seemed to pass so excruciatingly slowly it was frozen, or weeks that seemed to whiz by. Time is fixed, but our perception of it isn’t. Our basic biology is also fixed. Most people need a period of time each day to recharge themselves. They need a certain amount of time to reflect, to enjoy, to energize, or to simply pause - to do something that gives them respite or pleasure so they can deal with the stresses of the day. So think about yourself. What is it that you like or need to do that will refresh you and allow you to return to the fray with a clearer head and more energy? Whatever it is, schedule it into your day, as you would any business-related activity. Think of it as a meeting with yourself. And stick to it just as religiously as you would if it was a meeting with a client. That daily half hour or hour that you schedule for you will more than repay the time invested. It will make you better able to cope with stress, more productive in your work, and better tempered.

LETTER
Pathway critic says Thompson out of touch I have read Councillor Thompson’s many reports on the Osgoode pathway, including the December 6 newsletter he has circulated to ward residents. I am astonished that our councillor would adopt a position that will impose very loud shrieking noise on many residents of his ward to satisfy the recreational preference of a small minority of snowmobile enthusiasts who already have access to another 3,900 kilometers of trail in District 1, the Ottawa District of the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs. A membership of 700 represents • only 2.5% of the 26,956 population (2006) of the ward. Most club members do not live • near the pathway where the negative impact of their use is felt the most by other residents. While the snowmobile club • undoubtedly would like to keep the nuisance level low, there is still noise and speeding traffic emitting fumes during the day
and at night. The economic impact of the snowmobile club is not disputed. However, much of their expenses are for insurance and for machines and equipment that are manufactured far from Ottawa. Most are sold and serviced outside the ward. In simple terms, the ward gets a small portion of the economic benefits but is saddled with all the noise and the fumes. While the club does groom • the trail. It does so for its own purpose. A snowmobilist is not allowed to use the trail without purchasing a permit. A trail permit for the season costs $200 and $250 depending of the time of purchase. Councillor Thomson describes the opposition as being “a very small group of individuals”. As a member of that group, I differ with that description. The Osgoode Resident’s Association was recently founded out of concern that we were left on our •

own to protect the quality of life in our own homes and village. The Association has grown rapidly and has managed to attract a high ratio of support among the residents of Osgoode Village and those who live in the more than 200 houses within 100 metres of the new pathway and among their friends and neighbours. 78 per cent of the 528 homes visited (81 per cent in the case of close residents) objected to the presence of motorized traffic on the new pathway. The high a proportion of residents visited who disagree with the position the councillor has taken suggests that the councillor has lost touch with the pulse of that part of the community he is supposed to represent. I reiterate my view that there is a place for snowmobiles. It is not within a built-up residential area. That view is shared by many of the councillor’s constituents. It is not a small minority!

House of Lazarus rises to meet challenge of increasing need JOSEPH MORIN Joe.morin@metroland.com
The House of Lazarus in Mountain has been serving the rural communities around it for almost a quarter of a century. During that time, the notion of poverty has changed little, and the need for the services provide by the House of Lazarus have remained constant. The House of Lazarus provides a food bank and thrift store. These days the volunteer staff are as busy as they have ever been.“It has been a good year,” said Pauline Pratt the executive director of the House of Lazarus. She qualified her comment by explaining, “Even though the food bank has experienced a 32 per cent increase, the community has been quick to respond. We are up over 200 family visits over this past year.” Pratt believes that the increase in food bank use this year has been the largest since the organization first started keeping records in 2005. “We are still seeing a number of first-time clients from the area,” she said. The executive director noted that there has been an increase in the number of clients the House of Lazarus has had, not just using the food bank, but the Thrift Store as well. The House of Lazarus has a program where families adopt other families. This year, they saw an increase in the number
of families willing to adopt other families, by almost 50 percent. “This year we had 70 families adopted last year we had 50,” she explained. The House of Lazarus also has other seasonal opportunities for people to help others. Their Angel Tree program has been a success with 272 Angel gift donations being collected. “People are realizing how good it makes them feel making someone else’s life better,” said Pratt. Last week their Christmas party with Santa was well attended demonstrating once more that there is a genuine need for the services that are being offered. This year Pratt said that they were able to get the money for turkeys. “We bought local turkeys,” she said adding that she was able to get hold of around 60 of the birds. One senior told her that this was the first time in four years she had a turkey. The House of Lazarus has made an effort to make the experience at their Thrift Store a better one. With new lighting and more volunteers there has been an increase in the number of people coming through the store. “The staff and volunteers are doing a great job of keeping the shop looking sharp,” she said. The funds from the Thrift Shop go towards keeping the other programs working. Sixty per cent of the House of Lazarus budget comes from the sales of items from their store.

In two days, I will join my family for Christmas. It is a time to spread goodwill where we can, and celebrate that for which we are thankful. While I’m there, I hope to see my parents’ old friend, François d’Orglandes. François is an artist whose family is known for taking in less fortunate strangers for dinner on Christmas Eve. They personify the “kindness of strangers”. They make it easier to build healthy, secure, vibrant communities. In the same way, The Ottawa Hospital benefits from remarkable community support. What our community leaders, philanthropists and, in many cases, your neighbors have achieved this year is impressive. The Ottawa Hospital Foundation’s 20/20 Campaign raised $24.5 Million for a new Cancer Centre at the General Campus, as
well as the Irving Greenberg Family Cancer Centre at the Queensway Carleton Hospital. The community’s contributions have made a meaningful difference. They have allowed the centralization of nine radiation machines at the General Campus; added 15 new chemotherapy chairs, for a total of 50, to the cancer program; offered more natural light and comforting clinical environments to cancer patients; and provided them and their families with easy, comfortable access to outdoor areas. All of this will help the recovery process. There’s more. Our community has donated over $2 million dollars to research at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute. Most recently, they have made possible the acquisition of CyberKnife, a revolutionary radio-surgery system that can eliminate the need for invasive surgery in many cases. Soon, they will enable us to fund the installation of the Canadian Forces CAREN system, a virtual reality simulator to assist the rehabilitation of Canadian Forces combat casualties, as well as the other patients. This generosity improves the quality of care patients receive every day. Donations make a real difference. In other words, the community is the hospital’s foundation.

Local organization wins federal funding to help youth HOWAIDA SOROUR Special to the Advance
430239-51-10
A Merrickville organization with national reach has scored nearly $425,000 in federal funding to expand and continue its work with youth. Town Youth Participation Strategies (TYPS) will be delivering two programs aimed at empowering youth and combating youth homelessness nationally and in remote communities in Northern Canada. “We are pleased to partner with TYPS,” said Leeds and
Grenville MP Gord Brown, “Through the MAP project, we will help vulnerable rural youth tackle the obstacles that can lead to homelessness, helping them move towards self sufficiency.” After reams of applications and proposal writing and months of nail biting, TYPS has received confirmation that their hard work paid-off. A couple of weeks ago, the TYPS team learned that they would receive $225,000 in funding to develop and test the My Agenda Plan project (MAP). They also found out they had secured close to $200,000 towards the $600,000 cost of running the Youth Centre as Hubs for Youth Services project. The brain child of longtime Merrickville resident Les Voakes, TYPS grew out of a project intended to get youth centres started in six
local communities including Smiths Falls and Kemptville. The success of the original six led to the creation of models and tools to help other communities set up similar youth centres offering programs driven by young adults according to their unique needs. “Now we’re a national, charitable organization that developed from local successes,” said Voakes, executive director of TYPS. The MAP funding will be used to develop a new program in Yellowknife, NWT; Grandfalls, N.L.; and Portage la Prairie, Man. regions of high risk for youth homelessness. MAP aims to reach 300 youth in those northern communities to help them develop life skills as fundamental as obtaining basic documentation most people take for granted. They will learn how to obtain birth certificates, social insurance numbers, school certificates, how to open bank accounts, and how to create resumés. Most importantly youth will learn why they need those documents and how to use them to access services and set goals

for their futures. “This project will also help us identify other common indicators that lead to homelessness, besides the most obvious – dropping out of school,” said Voakes. The pilot projects are being rolled out this month and if the results (expected in spring) show that they work, and funding can be secured, a larger national strategy will be rolled out across the country, according to Voakes. The second project HUB, which started up in June of 2010, aims to help youth centres across the country build partnerships with service providers in their communities. “The reason behind the HUBS project is that we have found over the years that youth centres with three or more links with services in a community had double the funding, which adds to the sustainability of a youth centre” said Kevin Morris, project coordinator with TYPS. Over the past 15 years of working with youth centres from Kemptville, ON to Kamploops, BC and east to places like Bedford, NS or north to Inuvik
the commonality is that young adults all see these youth centres as a safe-haven. Turning those centres into a hub from which youth can access any service they need, not only improves the sustainability of the centre, but gives youth safe access to services they need but might not otherwise seek. “Youth Centres are agencies of first choice for youth in crisis,” explained Morris. A perfect example of why this is so important is that in small communities it can be awkward for young adults to access services they need explained Morris. “For example if Mary goes into the sexual health clinic in a small village, everyone will know that Mary was at the sexual health clinic – but if Mary goes into her local youth centre and accesses the same service nobody needs to know why Mary was there – she just went into the youth centre.” Both MAP and HUBS are aimed at ensuring that vulnerable youth have access to the services and tools they need to succeed independently.

Look who’s making a difference Businesses and community come together in Kemptville
Kemptville Public School helps with food drive Once again students at Kemptville Public School enthusiastically responded to this year’s Salvation Army Food Drive. This year’s food drive was special. There was no class competition and no food mountains to be built; the theme this year was that the students collected items because “it was the right thing to do”. They school set out a lofty goal of 1000 items – KPS students exceeded this goal by collecting 1130 items in less than 2 weeks.
BOOT DRIVE FILLS A NEED This years Santa Claus parade was a blast. Sponsored by the North Grenville Chamber of Commerce and the Kemptville Kinsmen, the parade is a tradition in North Genville.

DEADLINE: MONDAY AT 9AM.
30 April 1944-18 December 2010 Trevor completed his temporal journey among us as he passed away peacefully at his home in Brockville, Ontario. On Saturday, 18 December 2010, Trevor suffered a fatal coronary event. Trevor was the youngest member of the family of the late Asa H. Scott (South Mountain and Iroquois, Ontario) and of the late Wilma M. Henderson (South Mountain, Iroquois and Brockville, Ontario) and stepson of the late Arthur G. Bowden (Cardinal, Ontario). Trevor’s sister, Jean Lewis (Ottawa); his brother, Henderson (Glenn) Scott (Toronto); his sister-in-law, Cairine Caldwell (Toronto); and his nephew, Dale Humble (Ottawa) now become custodians of a very special spirit that lit up the lives of those who inhabited Trevor’s expansive moral world. Trevor’s Mother and her two sister’s, Aunt Lilah and Aunt Bud-affectionately remembered as the Henderson Sisters and experienced by their children as our “three mothers”-played a significant nurturing role throughout his formative years. Trevor treasured their presence in his life and flourished in the convivial company of his fellow “gen-three Henderson and Scott cousins”. Trevor cultivated a strong sense of community and frequently commented that many true and loyal friends enriched his life! Trevor’s cremated remains will rest at the Scott Family Memorial in South Mountain Union Cemetery. Family and friends will have an opportunity to attend a commemorative graveside service on Saturday, 30 April 2011-during a season of eternal renewal and hope. Over food and fellowship, we will share cherished memories of times spent with Trevor. Arrangements entrusted to the Byers Funeral Home.
The family of late Audrey Maloney wishes to extend sincere thanks to all family and friends who have shown us great support and love throughout this most difficult time. Mom would have been so touched to know of the kind memories and thoughts people shared with us. We especially wish to thank the Kemptville Royal Canadian Legion for doing a legion service, which she so would have appreciated. Thank you also to Paul Chambers for a lovely service. Special thanks to Pat and Anita Maloney, and Doug Brunton in their valuable assistance. We also wish to thank CCAC nurses Allison and Sandra.
Sincerely, The Maloney Family

Sens prospect living ultimate Ottawa hockey story By Rob Brodie OttawaSenators.com His entire hockey life, one might suggest, has read like the quintessential Ottawa story. Born and raised in the nation’s capital, played major junior hockey with the 67’s, then drafted by the Senators … Corey Cowick admits it’s the kind of tale that isn’t written every day, with every chapter better and more exciting than the one before it. “I guess the city likes me a little bit, right?” the 21-year-old forward said with a wide grin. “For sure, growing up, everything was Ottawa. I loved the Sens. I grew up with an (Alexei) Yashin jersey on my back on the outdoor rink and
got to games as often as I could. “I’ve really thrived on the hockey community in Ottawa. It’s definitely an unbelievable experience and it’s extremely unique. Not too many guys get to play (major) junior in their hometown, let alone hopefully playing in the NHL someday in their hometown.” Of course, Cowick’s Ottawa hockey odyssey wouldn’t be complete without an appearance in the Bell Capital Cup. And yes, there is room for that minor hockey experience in this story, too. Back in 2001, Cowick and his Gloucester Rangers team were among the entrants in the event’s Major Atom AAA division. “It was pretty big,” Cowick said
in looking back. “Usually growing up as a kid, when you go to big tournaments, you’re going to Toronto or you’re going to places in and around the Greater Toronto area or down to the States. But to play in one in your own backyard and to see kids from everywhere … the year I played, we had teams from Jokerit, Finland, and a lot of the big-name teams from.” In the eyes of an Ottawa boy, nothing was bigger about it all than the chance to play at Scotiabank Place, the home of the Senators. It’s where the tournament finals and all-star games are traditionally played. “That was huge, too,” he said. “As a kid, you come up to the rink and you watch all your favourite players play on it and then to play on that ice surface (yourself) was a pretty amazing experience.” Cowick got his opportunity by earning a shot in his division’s all-star game, a contest which also involved John Tavares, who would go on to become the No. 1 overall pick in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft by the New York Islanders. It is Cowick’s most enduring Bell Capital Cup memory. “It was the first time I ever really made an all-star game on that level,” he said. “We all got jerseys
and they announced your name — they made you feel really, really special. We got little gift bags. It was really a pretty cool experience. There was a skills competition and it was the first time I’d ever seen one of those. “The thing I remember was just seeing the guys I played against growing up, the guys at the top of their teams. I was never the best player on my team but I got to make it through a little bit of hard work and to wind up being there with those guys was pretty cool.” That he might someday be drafted into the National Hockey League by the team that called Scotiabank Place home … that was far from the mind of an 11-year-old Cowick at the time. “You’re kind of just in awe back then,” he said. “(The building) is so big and there’s nobody there, just your parents in the stands or some other players who are playing before or after you. It’s so big and you’re just kind of in awe of the spectacle that is Scotiabank Place. ” The 2011 Bell Capital Cup wraps up with championship games on New Year’s Day, Sunday and Monday at Scotiabank Place.

After a promising start this season, the Maple Leafs appear headed to another season on the sidelines when the Stanley Cup playoffs begin in April. However, there have been some bright spots, most notably the play of team scoring leader Clarke MacArthur, an unheralded off-season signing. Kris Versteeg, a clutch performer for the Chicago Blackhawks during their Cup run last spring, has also been a key offensive contributor along with the likes of Phil Kessel, Mikhail Grabovski and Nikolai Kulemin. Veterans Tomas Kaberle and Mike Komisarek are the blue-line leaders in front of goaltenders Jean-Sebastien Giguere and Jonas Gustavsson

From vision to reality in downtown Kemptville Kemptville is a true model of how a downtown can be revitalized and restored to its original beauty, said Forbes Symon, director of planning and development at a Committee of the Whole meeting. Symon gave a roughly 20 minute presentation that he also recently presented to more than 100 developers and planners from Eastern Ontario who gathered in Kemptville for a conference. The presentation, set up as a slide show, illustrated
how the downtown core has changed and improved over the last few years.
