North Grenville woodlot owners are being urged to diversify their tree stands and begin selectively salvaging inferior ash trees to prepare for the spread of the emerald ash borer (EAB) through the region. Over 150 attendees at the 24th annual Winter Woodlot Conference at the Kemptville Campus last Wednesday were updated on the EAB situation by representatives of the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (OMNR). The best defense against the rapacious insect, said Martin Streit, Stewardship Coordinator of the Leeds Grenville Stewardship Council, is to be proactive. “If you start to thin your woodlot, you’re go-
ing to have a bit more diversity of tree species. So if the emerald ash borer does kill your (ash) trees, you’ve got something else there. If you have a stand that’s 50 per cent ash, try to get it to 30 per cent ash,” Streit advised. The EAB is thought to have arrived in Detroit, Michigan, in the early 1990s in wooden packaging materials from China. It went undetected until 2002. Since flying over the water into Windsor, the tiny pest has gnawed its way through 35,000 acres of ash forest in Ontario, including almost 20,000 acres in 2010 alone, killing millions of trees and wreaking grave environmental and economic damage. Last August, EBA-infected wood was found at a rest stop near Mallorytown, along Highway 401. EMERALD see page 2

New policy would limit free tickets for councillors

jp.antonacci@metroland.com
A proposed policy introduced at last Tuesday’s Committee of the Whole meeting at the North Grenville Municipal Centre would limit the use of public funds to purchase tickets to community events for North Grenville councillors. Each councillor, including Mayor Da-
vid Gordon, would be allotted $500 per year to cover the cost of participation fees or tickets to events of their choosing, for a total expenditure of $2,500 each year. Under the current system, council approves funds for councillors to attend community events as official representatives of the municipality. TICKET see page 16

While this has been the only confirmed case in Leeds-Grenville to date, the insect has also been sighted in Perth. The ministry has found that EAB can spread eight to 15 km around the initial infestation site within 15 years. “In highly infested areas, high populations of trees can die within a couple of years,” warned Taylor Scarr, OMNR’s Provincial Forest Entomologist. The adult EAB is only 8.5-14 mm long, but it is the 26-32 mm larvae that do the real damage. The larvae tunnel in serpentine patterns behind the bark, cutting off nutrients and killing the tree from within. The highly destructive beetle targets all types of ash, except mountain ash, which is not a true ash. Pumpkin ash, a species native to southwestern Ontario, has been ravaged to the brink of extinction. Because the larvae are hidden from sight behind the bark, it can take three to five years for an infected tree to show symptoms, such as bark splitting or green epicormic shoots emerging from the lower trunk.

The EAB has no local natural predators, though larvae do sometimes barrel through each other as they rush through the tree. Woodpeckers and other beetles also target the borer. But woodlot owners can’t depend on nature to eliminate the foreign pest. “By the time you see woodpecker damage in the tree, it’s probably too late – the tree’s doomed,” Scarr said. Before the EAB arrives in full force and decimates the region’s plentiful ash population, Streit advises woodlot owners to reevaluate their trees. Whereas in the past they would have let ash trees grow to their full height – some can reach up to 80 feet – before harvesting them, today the prevailing wisdom is to cut down ash trees for firewood or smaller sawlogs so as to realize some profit before the ash borer renders the wood worthless. Streit was careful to stress that the ministry is not advocating the clear-cutting of all ash in the region. Rather, he recommends woodlot owners get local advice before conducting any preemptive salvaging. However, if owners are debating between removing a dead or poor quality ash or cutting a nonash species, the answer is simple. Remove the ash and allow other trees to seed in its place, “and you’ll have a better chance when the ash borer does arrive,” Streit explained. He predicts red maple and bur oak trees will supplant ash as the new cash crop for sawlogs. Maple wood is already more valuable than green ash, though the growing period is longer for maple trees, meaning owners must wait for the payoff. Longtime woodlot owner Pud Johnson of Prescott is convinced of the need to take preventative action against the “devastating” insect. “In my own particular forest, I anticipate that ash will be eliminated, probably within 20 years,” he said. “And to meet that challenge, we have been harvesting ash at every opportunity during the last five years.” That means cutting down trees he might otherwise have grown for sawlogs or veneer production. But Johnson knows it will soon be impossible to salvage all of the dead ash available. EAB most commonly moves by artificial spread – infected firewood or nursery stock is unknowingly driven from one location to another. Artificial spread brought the insect to Sault Ste Marie, and Streit thinks that’s how it got to Mallorytown. WOODLOT see page 16

This was all that was left standing of the historic church in the town that the team had hoped to visit before they got down to work. They would have been in the church during the earthquake, but rainy weather had slowed them down. the team has been asked to stay close to home. “We have offered our spare beds and help where we can, though the authorities are asking people to help those around them, but not to venture away from the immediate vicinity. Half of the city is still on the verge of toppling over so it would be a hindrance if we became victims ourselves,” said Stewart. Stewart pointed out that the after-
shocks are as high as 5.3. “I was outside the downtown hospital when that one happened,” he recalled. “Ever see a 15 story building flop around like jello? It makes you think and you step back a bit further back.” The group is safe for the moment, with access to water, even though they have to boil it. By the end of last week, the team had been moved to another town at the southern tip of New Zealand.

The earthquake last week in Christchurch, New Zealand, has taken nearly 150 lives, and hundreds are still missing. Former Kemptville resident Jesse Stewart was in Christchurch when the earthquake struck. In emails to his mother, Heather Stewart in Kemptville, he described what he saw as the town began rescue operations after the quake. Stewart is in New Zealand working in the agriculture industry. He had brought a team of people to Christchurch to work. His team had just arrived in Christchurch, 10km from the centre of the earthquake in a house located on a campsite. The house and campsite were not damaged, but as the group ventured into the town to see if they could help, they found a different situation. “As we walked into town, the damage escalated as the buildings got older (made of stone and brick). We came upon a car that was crushed with a dead person inside covered by a blanket,” Stewart said. Identification of the dead is difficult and because the earthquake happened during lunch hour, many people were out and are difficult to trace. Emergency crews from other cities are staying at their campground and

The New Democrat Party of Leeds and Grenville has selected their candidate to run for a federal seat in the next federal election. Matthew Gabriel, a resident of Augusta Township and former resident of the Spencerville, was selected to take on the job of bringing the NDP message to voters in Leeds and Grenville. Gabriel is a 39-year-old single father of one. He is a technician with Bell Canada as well as the vice president and chief steward for Communication, Energy and Paperworkers Union (CEP) Local 31. He represents Bell employees in Brockville, Smiths Falls, Kingston and Cornwall.

Matthew Gabriel has been selected as NDP federal candidate. Gabriel was a friend of the late NDP candidate Steve Armstrong and appreciated Armstrong’s effort to bring jobs back to his riding.
“I have been lobbying about foreign ownership,” explained Gabriel. “I feel that we are not respected, nor treated very well in Ot-
tawa.” Gabriel believes that a look at where the riding was and where it is now and where it needs to be will reveal to voters that not enough has been done to create jobs. “I want to get my message out there. It used to be that when you came out of high school there were factory jobs you could apply for,” he said. “That is no longer an option.” In a press release, he stated, “The citizens of Leeds and Grenville counties are looking for an MP who will listen to their concerns and represent them in Ottawa regardless of their political stripe and past. “I am looking forward to offering the voters of Leeds and Grenville that option and hearing more of their concerns.”

OPINION
Kemptville Advance - MARCH 03, 2011

Setting an example for us all The Harper government’s current challenge of sidestepping the Oda affair is an especially difficult one to manage. The opposition parties are all excited about finally having something tangible to use to go after the government, despite their own lack of success in offering themselves to voters as any more noble or trustworthy than the government they are criticizing. International Cooperation Minister Oda and Prime Minister Harper are certainly in a mess of their own making. How they will resolve it will tell us a great deal about the kind of respect they have for Canadians in general. The lesson might be that bigger government breeds opportunities for bigger problems regardless of how honest or earnest politicians may be. North Grenville, at least not in recent memory, has not had to deal with issues as silly and as blatantly demoralizing as the Oda affair. Rural populations still have a tremendous amount of control over what happens where they live. When the local council wrestles with an issue, everyone knows about it. Quite often, in full public view, the North Grenville council has reversed one of their decisions simply because councillors felt they needed more debate. Former North Grenville councils have oper-
ated in a setting where voters could always come and watch how they worked and listen to their decision-making debates. Transparency and accountability are difficult to maintain in the big government arena, but they are necessary goals to strive for. With smaller government comes an expectation for decisions to be practical and effective. The scope of issues that face a federal government is naturally more complicated and diverse than those of a local government such as North Grenville’s. However, you cannot help but appreciate the ability and determination of local politicians to make good decisions in an honest way. Perhaps the leaders in big government should, from time to time, make an effort to remind themselves about where they came from and how they got where they are today. Misleading Parliament and changing the rules and realities of government to accommodate a political agenda would never be allowed anywhere else. Our leaders have to set an example for the rest of us. The rules are all there for everyone to see and respect. We follow them every time we interact with our neighbour or our employer. We should expect our leaders to do the same.

It’s just a game, except when it isn’t As kids develop awareness of the world outside the house and the school, they are looking to understand some of the things that go on. And you, in turn, are looking for life lessons you can pass on with the day’s headlines. This is almost always difficult. What are you going to tell the subteen in your house when she finds out that Miley Cyrus’s father told a magazine that the hit TV show Hannah Montana destroyed his marriage? How will you explain what her father means when he says “I’m scared for her.” You understand well enough. Fame and big money do strange things to people and not all of them react well. But the girl and her doting father live this enchanted life on TV and the worst problem is that they run out of Diet Coke or the dog barks. Marriages don’t break up on the Disney Channel and 18-year-olds don’t have birthday parties in bars. So good luck to you explaining that. “TV is just make believe,” you can say, which will be a good start. But do you really want to add that real life is not as nice as TV? For many people it’s nicer. Closer to home, and far more consequential, what kind of discussion can you have with the young hockey

give up something for them — a discussion of the realities of professional sports, in other words. The realities of professional sports can be as unpleasant as life in the Cyrus family and do you really want your young hockey fanatic to carry that knowledge around with her? Mind you, from quite an early age that young hockey fanatic has suspected that real life is not all it’s cracked up to be. She gets a preview of life’s unfairness when she is told that she has to go to sleep while still feels like practising her slapshot in the living room. Finding out that there can be no candy without first eating the vegetables only confirms the existence of a dark side. — People in Ottawa are sad to see Chris Kelly go, a little hockey player will say. — Yes, you answer, but … but that’s just the way it is. — Why? — Because the Senators want to win? — Why? — Because winning is better than losing. — But don’t you always say that having fun playing the game is more important than winning? Remember, you said that when I was crying after losing that

There you are, stuck with the necessity of explaining why professional sport is not really like sport the way you’ve been teaching it. And you haven’t even come to the part about head shots and cheating and taking funny pills and all the things grown-ups do to win games even though winning isn’t supposed to be as important as having fun.

Community LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Grandmothers help their counterparts
Every day, people in developing countries around the world die from treatable illnesses, simply because they are too poor to afford the medicines they need. We’ve heard a lot about Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s government’s commitment to maternal and child health in developing countries. Access to medicines is crucial to helping sick mothers and children get and stay healthy. Bill C-393, which is currently being discussed in Parliament, is all about simplifying the process for getting affordable, life-saving drugs to people in developing countries. Bill C-393 is designed to make adjustments to Canada’s current Access to Medicines Regime (CAMR). It will make it easier for developing countries to access generic drugs from Canada. Passage of the Bill is now more than a distant hope. Our Members of Parliament now have a real chance to
make a big difference in our world and save lives by passing Bill C-393, if they so choose. Canadawide polls have shown that this is what Canadians want and expect from our elected representatives. We need to let our politicians know that we do care about this issue, and that we do want them to pass this legislation. We, Grandmothers to Grandmothers, urge the public to contact their MP and make their voices heard - Canadians want Bill C-393 passed and Canada’s Access to Medicines Regime (CAMR) reformed. Second reading of the Bill will take place on March 3, with final reading and vote scheduled to happen on March 9.
Charles Gordon right on the money
I just wanted to write and say that I really enjoyed Charles Gordon’s take on the media and storm reporting. As a former broadcaster, I know what it is like to have to deliver the weather information, attract an audience, and find a balance between the two. He is so on the Sara Paquette money with his account! I too have been guilty of “sounding Gorgeous Grannies and Friends, North Gower the alarm” for the storm of the and Grandmothers to Grandmothers, Canada century that wound up being a sunny day. (But on half of those occasions I’d let Environment Canada take some of the blame!) I am a college professor now, teaching new broadcasters how to make it into the business, and I actually had the discussion in class last week about this very In the first phase of our strategic planning exercise, several themes emerged and we are now exploring many options for strategic partnerships, system changes and other opportunities to ensure the very best care is delivered 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. We are committed to keeping our communities informed through the local media, on our website at www.wdmh.on.ca and with more public forums. Together, we will plan for the future health care needs of our local communities – close to home. Thank you for your continuing support andpassion for Winchester District Memorial ospital.

Cub and Scout races draw a crowd J.P. ANTONACCI jp.antonacci@metroland.com
Vernon was the place to be last Saturday for anyone who loves cars. Cub Cars, that is. Over 100 enthusiastic Cubs and Scouts from throughout the region converged on the Vernon Rec Centre for the annual Cub Car/Scout Truck rally, sponsored by the Rideau Area branch of Scouts Canada. Weeks – or in the case of the Greely group, five months – before the rally, each Cub had been given a 2 ¾” x 7” block of wood and told to fashion a car that looked good and had the balance of speed and power needed to zoom down the wooden track. The results showcased the youngsters’ vivid imaginations. There were red cars and black cars, purple cars and blue cars. Cars covered in stickers, slogans, feathers and metal washers. A car that looked like a bathtub, and another shaped like a boot. One Scout truck was hauling logs, while a gleaming red rig had a Ferraristyle Cub Car in the trailer. One environmentally conscious young trucker had installed a green roof covered in solar panels, and mounted mini-windmills beside each window. “We have a Kleenex box floating around here somewhere,” laughed Drew Mason, a cub leader from Osgoode who was coordinating the day’s races. Each car and truck ran in ten heats, with the fastest 27 from each category squaring off in the finals, which took place on a tall, four-car track built by a local Venturer group. There were awards presented for the most creative designs, along with other prizes. For a different kind of challenge, the children launched their custom wheels in a bout of Cub Car

Teens dance to promote mental health J.P. ANTONACCI jp.antonacci@metroland.com
At least one in five youth under 19 experiences mental illness. But problems like depression are usually not talked about, especially among young people themselves. Shelly Henderson wants to change that. Henderson’s father and her best friend both struggle with depression, and the Grade 11 student at North Grenville High School was looking for a way to raise awareness about the commonly misunderstood issue. During a co-op work placement at the Kemptville Youth Centre (KYC), Henderson planned the Dance for Depression, which drew approximately 50 young people to the youth centre’s new Oxford St. location on Friday night. Henderson’s goal was to cre-
ate a comfortable, non-judgmental environment where teens could learn about mental illness while having a good time. So along with dance contests, prizes, and music spun by a local DJ, attendees heard a talk on mental health issues from Dave Gallson of the Mood Disorders Society of Canada (MDSC). KYC volunteers and counselors from the Canadian Mental Health Association of Leeds Grenville were also on hand to offer oneon-one support. “People don’t really know what (depression) is. They think that if they try hard enough, it’ll go away,” Henderson said. “But it’s not that way. It takes a long time.” The dance was sponsored by the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario through its Dare to Dream program, which provides funding to projects that promote mental health aware-
ness. Proceeds will help MDSC improve the lives of those affected by mood disorders. If people’s misconceptions about depression were put to rest because of what they learned on Friday, then the dance was a success, said Andrew MacLean, KYC volunteer and sustainability coordinator. “One of the things common to most types of mental illness is that everyone is embarrassed by it, and they think that there’s something wrong with them. So we’re really hoping that, if nothing else, (the dance) gets rid of that stigma that you are sick in some way if you’re suffering from (depression),” he said. “In high school, youth think that breaking up with their girlfriend after (dating for) a day is a big thing. They don’t need that added stigma – they’ve got enough to deal with.”
Curling. Which vehicles win the championship is not important, said Mason. “The idea is that you’re having fun. So if your car loses a race, it doesn’t matter, because (for the next race) they’re going to the biggest, coolest track,” explained the energetic leader. To prove Mason’s point, 13-year-old Aaron Cumming, a Scout from Vernon, said he couldn’t remember how he had placed during the three years he raced cars as a Cub. He could, however, remember how much fun he’d had, and said he felt the same excitement now that he was racing his first truck, a multicoloured rig he painted using a bingo dauber. Cumming pointed to coloured beads he’d attached to the top of the trailer section, “to make it look like it’s a rock climbing wall being moved.” The hall was filled with the whir of tiny wheels and the excited chatter of the racers and their families. Each heat sent three cars hurtling down the track, watched closely from the finish line by the official scorer and three anxious young owners. “Second is good enough!” smiled one boy after narrowly losing a photo finish. As the Cubs and Scouts entered the Rec Centre, leaders weighed their vehicles on electronic scales. Each truck could not exceed 900 grams, and the maximum weight per car was 142 grams. If a vehicle took a spill or needed some last minute adjustments, the youth could use glue guns and tools at a “pit stop” set up in the gym. Rallies have been held across Ontario for over 30 years, and thousands of Scouts and Cubs have learned about aerodynamics, design, and construction while making their personalized vehicles.

which involved some sort of crowd-interactive dance and a lot of showgirls and acrobats. I love the way everyone is so happy to be doing their jobs here they sing from morning to night, smile Ola at you when they pass you on the walk. It reminded me of Taiwan, the way the servers seemed to be so happy and without complaint. That and the poor sewer system that makes it against regulation to flush toilet paper. Both Taiwan and the Dominican need to invest in some quality plumbing. On Friday, we braved the cave, which is a discotheque called Imagine. It looks like a castle from the
road but that is just the entrance to an actual nightclub built into a cave. Men dressed as tribal warriors stand like statues on pedestals, guarding the door. Later those same warriors joined us and several hundred college kids on the various dance floors within the cave. Showgirls in jeweled bikinis danced on platforms between the stalactites. International club music changed to techno beats after a while and the thickening crowd made it difficult to breathe. I only lasted two hours, I’m ashamed to report. The Farmer and I had to take a taxi home, unable to last to the 4 a.m. shuttle back to the resort.

On Saturday, the Farmer had his dream trip out to the deep sea for some fishing. Unfortunately, within twenty minutes of boarding the boat, his Farmwife was hanging over the edge. There I remained for two hours. But I did see a whale, through teary eyes. That was cool. It is now our last night and I know it’s time to go home because my worry brain has returned. I forgot to tell the girls not to give the horse too much grain. And I hope I have given them enough time to clean up after any partying they did in our absence, and that the barn is still standing.

Confronted by images of birds and wildlife covered with oil in the Gulf of Mexico after the BP oil spill last April, sisters Taylor and Peyton Horning went looking for a way to help. The solution came to them off the top of their heads. They learned of an organization called Matter of Trust that was stuffing nylons with hair to make highly absorbent sausageshaped “hair booms” to soak up the oil before it reached the shoreline. So last summer, the animalloving elementary school students dug out their wagon and began gathering all the hair and animal fur they could find. Their plan was to collect 500 pounds, but with help from 26 hair salons and pet groomers in their hometown of Merrickville
and surrounding communities, they reached that amount in less than two months. “(The businesses) thought it was a really, really great idea, because we were taking hair, that’s just an object that’s going to go in the landfill, and using it for a good cause,” Peyton said. With word of “Taylor and Peyton’s Share Your Hair Project” spreading, Taylor, then 11, and Peyton, then 9, decided to double their goal and amass a whopping 1,000 pounds of hair. The Horning’s two-car garage soon filled with garbage bags, before PODS Moving and Storage donated a collection bin in Ottawa. A barbershop set up at the girls’ elementary school, Holy Cross in Kemptville, netted still more straight, wavy and curly donations. One pound of hair absorbs roughly one litre of oil in under one minute, and each hair boom

Taylor were thrilled and “super surprised” to receive Presidential Environmental Youth Awards signed by President Barack Obama.
Proud parents Alexandra Prefasi-Horning and Dave Horning weren’t surprised that Peyton, now 10, and Taylor, now 12 and attending St. Michael Catholic High School in Kemptville, wanted to get involved, as they had previously raised money for a new playground in Merrickville. “They’re definitely kids that like to be involved and make change happen,” said PrefasiHorning. Peyton said her favourite part of the experience was “getting kids involved and showing the world that kids can make a difference.” The energetic, communityminded sisters see more charitable work in their future. “There’s lots of projects we want to get involved in,” said Taylor. “But for now, our mom wants us to take a break.”
Young author pens book about sister’s rare disorder J.P. ANTONACCI jp.antonacci@metroland.com
Tommy and Melanie Glatzmayer have two pet rats and one syndrome. The syndrome is Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS), an autism-like disorder 10-year-old Melanie has had since birth. The rats, Ninja and Cinderella, are the co-stars of a book Tommy, 8, wrote to raise awareness of his older sister’s condition. In the book, Tommy and Melanie crash a car and confront the neighbourhood bully, aided by their furry friends. As a 6-year-old senior kindergarten student, Tommy co-wrote Melanie & Tommy Have Two Pet Rats and One Syndrome with his mother, Nathalie Wendling, to educate children who were teasing Melanie at school. Wendling penned an educational section about CdLS for parents. The pair came to Kemptville Public School to help kick off its annual reada-
thon fundraiser. It was Tommy and Melanie’s fifth school visit since last November, with more planned. The book has become a runaway hit, with 3,000 copies sold and a publishing deal potentially in the works. “It’s crazy,” said Wendling of her family’s newfound fame. “I wanted to do one event a month, but it seems like we’re up to one a week now.” Melanie and Tommy have reached celebrity status at their school – St. Leonard’s in Manotick – and beyond, but things weren’t always so rosy. During several heartrending years before Melanie was diagnosed, she had difficulty breathing and swallowing. Wendling and her husband John Glatzmayer were run ragged caring for their daughter, who suffered from seizures, vision and hearing problems, and bowel and feeding difficulties. Melanie has had 12 operations in her young life, and now wears hearing aids
and thick glasses. Thanks to the disorder, she is much smaller than her peers. At Kemptville PS, students compared their shoe sizes with Melanie, who had the same size feet as a four-year-old girl. Tommy is his sister’s biggest fan and most dedicated teacher. He patiently repeats new words to help her increase her vocabulary, and spends hours playing with her. “He just loves her so much,” Wendling said, adding that one day, Tommy mentioned to his mother how “lucky” it was that Melanie had CdLS. “Why?” Wendling asked her son. “Because we never fight,” he replied. After Tommy read the story to a gym full of 400 interested students and answered questions about CdLS and his relationship with his sister, Wendling showed a video starring the rats. The children howled as the furry movie stars ate popcorn, whacked each other with balloons, and played foosball.
“It’s so nice to hear so many people laugh,” beamed Wendling. “How did you get the rats to do those tricks?” marveled Kemptville PS vice principal Mike Vincent. “With a lot of apple jelly,” Tommy grinned. Vincent asked Tommy for his favourite part of being an author. “That everyone stopped making fun of Melanie,” Tommy replied. Along with raising awareness of CdLS, Tommy’s book has led to unexpected results. At one book signing in Toronto, a young boy shyly told Tommy that he had a sister with Down syndrome. “They just smiled and nodded at each other,” Wendling recalled, marveling at their mutual understanding. “He’s not just helping Melanie – Melanie can feel that we’re helping everyone.” For more information about CdLS or the book, visit www.2petrats.com.

Eliminating the need to transport images, and having easier access to medical files, a new system is now in place at Winchester District Memorial Hospital. NOODIN (Northern and Eastern Ontario Diagnostic Imaging Network) DI-r is a repository of medical images and diagnostic reports like ultrasounds, CT scans, nuclear medicine scans and MRIs. Almonte General Hospital, Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital and the Royal Ottawa Health Care Group are also connected, with the WDMH as the hub. The shared imaging archive allows doctors in one hospital to access images and reports acquired at another hospital throughout Northern and Eastern Ontario. “This is an exciting day for WDMH,” said Sean O’Brien, chief technology officer, on Feb. 2 during an unveiling of the new technology. “WDMH patients often travel between hospitals to see specific physicians involved in their care. By providing elec-
tronic access to test results, the DI-r eliminates the need to transport images between doctors on CDs or films. The DIr allows specialists in Ottawa to review images electronically if a physician in one of the community hospitals requires a consultation.” Dr. Chuck Su, chief of emergency at WDNM, concurred: “The DI-r enables me to view a patient’s imaging history when they come into our emergency department, which helps me understand what is going on with my patients medically. It will allow me to share images with specialists in other hospitals before making a decision to treat a patient locally or transfer them to another hospital.” NEODIN is one of four diagnostic imaging repositories (DI-r) being implemented in Ontario in partnership with eHealth Ontario and Canada Health Infoway. Upon completion in 2011, NEODIN will benefit almost two million Ontarians across 840,000 square kilometres, from the Manitoba border to Hawkesbury – an area larger than most provinces – at more than 60 diagnostic imaging departments.

Sustainable North Grenville discussed issues of ethical food production at a movie night last month. A spirited group of three dozen environmental enthusiasts met at the branch restaurant in Kemptville on Feb. 16 to screen Food Inc. The acclaimed documentary provided a revealing look into the world of industrial food processing. The film portrays mass production in a less than flattering light, highlighting the environmental, economic, and social costs of the consumer demand for cheap food that is constantly available, no matter the season. Local food expert Bruce Enloe kicked off the discussion by contrasting two valid yet opposite approaches to producing quality food: some farmers want to keep their production small and wholesome, while others seek to tap into the big grocery chains in order to supply healthier food to more people. The free-range chat also touched on the
consequences of depending on cheap oil to sustain mass production at affordable prices, and the loss of local industries such as cheesemaking. Overall, the consensus was that supporting local food producers was essential to lessen the environmental footprint of eating, and that each purchase of a local, organic, healthy food option was akin to a vote for humane, ethical, and responsible food production. The film and discussion opened many participants’ eyes to what really goes into making and delivering the food they find on the supermarket shelves. But they could snack guilt-free on the organic, locally grown popcorn and fruit provided by the branch. The group also held a “kitchen table talk” last Sunday with farm journalist Thomas Pawlick, author of The End of Food and A War in the Country.

opened the weekend on Friday night, Feb. 18, when the Cumberland Grads visited North Grenville. The game was opened with a ceremonial puck drop by Eric Norenberg, owner of Kemptville Building Centre and Kemptville Home Furnishing. Mr. Norenberg is a major sponsor of the 73’s. The Grads had only a very slim shot at the number eight playoff position before this weekend’s games. The first period was very fast paced with lots of end to end action but no scoring. In the second period, Kemptville was able to capitalize on a Grads penalty by scoring a power play goal. The goal was scored by Blaine Byron, an affiliated player called up for this game. It was assisted by Josh Pitt and Brandon Lesway. The period again featured speed and action but only the one goal was scored. The third period had Cumberland tie the game at the 6:12 mark. Kemptville goalie Kyle Lamothe was great, stopping chance after chance in the period. With 3:10 left, the Grads pulled out in front 2-1. With the goalie pulled for the extra attacker, the 73’s were unable to score and Cumberland took home the victory. Before the opening face off of the game on Fam-
ily Day, several presentations were made. As it was the last home game of the 2010-11 regular season, the graduating players and their families were acknowledged. The players are Brock Plouffe from Shawville, Jake Clark from Carp, Travis Armstrong from Smiths Falls, Nick Duhn from Carp and Alex Brenton from Kanata. These players have all enjoyed successful careers in the CCHL and the 73‘s organization wishes them the best in their future endeavors. With the Pembroke Lumber Kings, the defending league champions, in town, anything could happen and it did. The hockey game began with unbelievable intensity. Both teams had great scoring chances in the first period, only to be stymied by brilliant goaltending from both goalies. After an entertaining period, witnessed by the largest crowd of the season, more of the same was expected in the second period. Pembroke scored first at 5:45 to take a 1-0 lead. On a strange call from the official, a Kemptville player was given a five minute major and a game misconduct for tripping. The player who was tripped and supposedly injured returned to play the third period. It is at the referee’s discre-
tion to call a major penalty based on an injury. The Kings scored twice during the power play. They added one more before the end of the frame to take a 4-0 lead to the room at the end of two. In the third, Pembroke scored three more times before the 73’s were able to break the shutout. Brock Plouffe notched his seventeenth of the season from Keegan Rowe and Jake Clark. Pembroke left town with a 7-1 victory. At this point, the 73’s had five road games remaining and they could still make the playoffs with wins and some help from the other teams. On Wednesday, Feb. 23, the 73’s traveled to the Jim Durrell Complex to take on the Ottawa Junior Senators in a must win situation. Just 1:32 seconds into the game, Josh Pitt opened the scoring for Kemptville. Assisting on Pitt’s tenth of the season were Nevins and Lesway. Ottawa was able to tie the game at 1 before the end of the period. There was no scoring in the second period. Pitt notched his second of the game from Brenton and Brake almost halfway through the third. That goal stood up as the winner and kept Kemptville’s playoff hopes alive. 73’s goalie, Kyle Lamothe stopped 31 of 32 shots. Travis Armstrong
and Nick Duhn were named first and second stars respectively. Friday, Feb. 25, saw the team travel to Smiths Falls to take on the Bears in a game they had to win. By the halfway mark of the second period, the Bears were holding a 3-0 lead. But, before the end of the frame, Alex Brenton scored his thirty-first of the season, from Plouffe and Clark. In the third, Smiths Falls got one more to take a 4-1 lead. Less than a minute later, Brett Jackson got it back with his fourth of the year from Cameron and Upshall. The 73’s came hard at the Bears goalie but were unable to beat him again. The Smiths Falls goaltender, Mackenzie Sawyer, stopped 40 of the 42 shots he faced during the game. The Bears won the game 4-2 and ended Kemptville’s quest for a playoff spot. On Feb. 27, Kemptville traveled to Navan to face the Cumberland Grads. Both goaltenders played well, facing a total of 83 shots between them. Cumberland held on to win the game 3-2. Scoring for Kemptville were Nick Duhn from Byron and Brenton and Pat Cameron from Jackson and Hutton. The final game will be in Gloucester on Mar. 4 to close out the season against the Rangers.

JOSEPH MORIN The Kemptville Skating Club is enjoying a busy and competitive 2011 season. Recent skating competitions have taken club members to Morrisburg and Athens. In January, the club was at a competition at the Arnprior StarSkate. On Feb. 4 many skaters at the club competed at the Eastern Ontario StarSkate Invitational Competition (EOSIC) in Oshawa. “The club would like to celebrate the many successes of our skaters. They have exhibited some great figure skating. Everyone brought their best skate and we can be very proud of all our young skaters, whether they are competing, testing, or attaining their personal goals,” said Kemptville Skating Club president Ann Miller. Despite the number of recent competitions, the skating club has taken part in, practice is underway for the next competition in Perth on Feb. 26. Skaters from all age groups will be taking part in the competition. Closer to home, the club is getting ready to put on their 2011 ice show, “Opening Night on Broadway,” on March 5. The doors open at 3 p.m. and the show gets underway at 3:30 p.m. “This year’s show will feature our own home grown talent, Janelle Vandemheen, as our special soloist,” said Miller. Janelle is a 2008 All Ontario Champion, and has travelled to Nationals in Calgary. She is back on the road again, with her second place finish in

News
Woodlot conference highlights forestry concerns From page 2 The Canadian Food Inspection Agency strongly discourages anyone from moving firewood, and has set up regulated areas outside of which ash materials cannot be transported, further restricting the market for ash products. LeedsGrenville will likely soon be designated a regulated area, Streit said. The province is getting better at detecting and defending against EAB, though the two techniques now in use – an expen-
sive injectable insecticide named TreeAzin that protects a tree for two years, and a sticky trap used to catch the bugs – are typically used to save a few prized trees on city streets, parks, schoolyards or golf courses. There does not yet exist a proven defensive strategy for woodlots. Johnson is buying a sticky trap for the summer, but he is realistic about future losses. Like most owners, he does not rely on his woodlot for primary income, but
with ash comprising 20 per cent of the stems in his lot, he will take a hit once the EAB arrives. “These are well-developed trees that have a very high potential for sawlogs, but we have to salvage them as firewood,” he said. “I think it’s very sad that this is happening, but there are no other options at this time.” In future, the EAB may be slowed by colder northern temperatures and natural predators in the old growth forest, but
Scarr said the ministry is considering bringing in a predator bug from China to target the pest. It’s a high stakes problem, since private woodlots account for 90 per cent of the forested area in Eastern Ontario. Scarr hopes for an eventual “equilibrium” such that the EAB kills trees at the same rate they are re-grown. In the meantime, expect to soon see fewer ash trees in the forests of LeedsGrenville.
Ticket reimbursement policy in the works From the front However, the volume of invitations far exceeds the available resources, said North Grenville CAO Andy Brown. This policy would cap the funds available for tickets while ensuring “openness and accountability” in the process, he added. The $500 allotment could only be used to buy tickets for councillors themselves, not their spouses, partners or guests. The dollar amount could be adjusted in future budgets. While noting that council is generally in favour of supporting charitable endeavors, Coun. Barb Tobin appreciated the fact that the new policy would put a limit on taxpayer dollars being spent on complimentary tickets.
“(This policy) certainly does not prevent councillors from attending (events) on their own,” Tobin added. Brown hopes the new policy will help organizations understand why it is not financially possible for councillors to attend every event to which they are invited. In response to Deputy Mayor Ken Finnerty’s comment that the mayor should be allotted a higher amount because he is in high demand as an honoured guest, ToD. Faulkner Photo bin expressed her hope that more groups would show “deference” to the office and invite the mayor “with no expectation of (his) paying for a ticket.” An Osprey nest was erected on the Merrickville fairgrounds close to the water in late The policy will be put to a vote at a fu- December. Eventually an Osprey will discover the nest and hopefully move in. The nest is ture council meeting. courtesy of Hydro One.

Bass, WINGS take flight in awareness fight By Rob Brodie OttawaSenators.com Cody Bass is still young enough to relate to the difficulties teenagers face in today’s world. But he’s also reached the age that has him believing he can make a difference. And wanting to be a leader in a cause that touches more people with each passing day. With the memory of Daron Richardson in mind, the Binghamton Senators forward has launched WINGS — an acronym that stands for When I Need Guidance and Support. It is intended to raise more awareness about the issue of teenage suicide, which claimed the life of the 14-year-old daughter of Ottawa Senators assistant coach Luke Richardson last November. “I don’t think people really realize how hard it is to be in high school these days and to be a teenage kid,” said Bass. “I’m only 24 — I was a teenager six years ago and now I’m a young adult. I have two younger sisters who are teenagers and they’ve kind of had a hard time in high school as well. I just want to get the message out there that you should never feel alone and never feel you have to take your own life by suicide. “There should always be
somebody there to help out, no matter what. So that’s kind of the message we’re trying to get across. Make sure every teen has somebody there (with a shoulder) to cry on or to just listen.” Bass feels a closer connection to the Richardson tragedy than most. When he was called up to Ottawa for the first time, the Richardsons opened their home to him and he came to see their family as his own. It was simply their way. “They made it feel like home to me,” said Bass. “Living there, I got to know Daron pretty well. I got to know Morgan (her older sister). I got to know the whole family. They made me feel right at home and treated me really well. Luke is just a special man. He’s one of the greater guys I’ve ever met. “The whole family is just unbelievable. I can’t thank them enough. It’s just a tragic thing to see what happened with Daron, so anything you can do to give back in honour of the Richardson name is awesome.” Bass and B-Sens teammate drove to Ottawa to attend the celebration of life for Daron, which drew 5,600 people to Scotiabank Place — “one of the saddest things I’ve ever had to sit through in my life,” he later told theahl.
com. By the time he returned to Binghamton, Bass knew he had to do something in memory of Daron. With the help of B-Sens staffers Kate Krenzer and Christa Reese, along with Jennifer O’Brien, the owner of the Magic Paintbrush Project in the Binghamton area, WINGS soon took flight. A silent auction was held just before Christmas, which raised more than $4,600 for the Royal Ottawa Foundation for Mental Health and the Mental Health Association of the Southern Tier in Binghamton. Another event, an outdoor skate held last Monday in Binghamton, raised another $800 for WINGS. The B-Sens’ wives and girlfriends got on board with a candy cane fundraiser before Christmas. Fans in other American Hockey League cities have come to Bass, wanting to donate to the cause. So have game officials. The movement continues to grow and it has been a lifechanging one for Bass. “I’ve met some amazing people that have had amazing stories,” he said. “The support from around the league, from random fans donating money and referees who have donated money, and just people jumping on board who wanted to help … those people are special people and I can’t thank them enough.”
New York Rangers Friday, March 4, 7:30 p.m., TSN
Henrik Lundqvist

The Rangers find themselves in a heated battle to maintain their grip on an Eastern Conference playoff berth. Martin Gaborik, the most dynamic element of a Blueshirts attack that is otherwise rather blue collar in nature, is sidelined with a concussion, so it’ll be up to by the likes of Brandon Dubinsky, Artem Ansimov and newcomers Derek Stepan and Brian Boyle to carry more of the load. It’s a mix of young and old on the New York blue line, which features Dan Girardi, Marc Staal and Michael del Zotto. Perhaps the biggest key for the Rangers is the play of workhorse Henrik Lundqvist, one of the NHL’s elite goaltenders.
He knows there are more stories out there, more people who need a helping hand. “The reality is, stuff like this does happen. You just don’t hear about it,” said Bass. “Everybody has their own story. You walk by somebody on the street and you don’t know what their story is until one day, you stop and talk to them. I have all these random people and for them to share their stories with me … These people have lost kids and family members, and it’s just a tragedy. “I don’t wish that upon anybody, especially young children that have their whole lives ahead of them. It’s a tough life out there and you just hope for the best for everybody. If you have kids, you definitely want to see them grow up and live their lives.” To learn more about the program or to make a donation, visit www.codybasswings. com or www.facebook.com/ codybassWINGS.

BE A
AGAINST CANCER
Peacefully at home on Saturday February 26, 2011. Penny Racine age 49 of Mountain.
It’s been four years now, Since God saw her getting tired, When a cure was not to be, He wrapped his arms around her, Whispering, “Come with me”. So comforting to know where she is now, And left us the greatest gift – LOVE.

Eleanor passed away peacefully at Kemptville District Hospital on Sunday, January 16, 2011 at the age of 90. Eleanor was born on July 18, 1920 at home on Beach Road in Oxford Mills. She was the daughter of Theodore and Margaret (Berry) Beach. She attended Irish Town Public School and Kemptville High School. She married William Harry Carmichael on September 9, 1939 and moved next door to the Carmichael farm where they resided and raised five sons. Eleanor had a great love of the land and was an avid gardener. The main focus was her strawberry garden and she was still picking berries well into her 80’s. Her attention to detail was amazing whether she was cooking or sewing and she also loved to quilt with her many friends. Her Kemptville St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church Family were very important to her. She was always lending a hand with the many church events. For many years, Eleanor was chairperson to the Women’s Missionary Society. Eleanor was a kind and loving person who was as beautiful on the inside as the outside. Her main priorities in life were her family and her friends. She loved family gatherings and she left quite a legacy as the family grew to12 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren. She was the beloved wife of the late Harry Carmichael and loving mother of Bill (Valerie) of Toronto, Robert (Betty) of Spencerville, John (Mabyn) of Okotoks, Alberta, David (Annie) of Kemptville and Stephen (Susan) of Fort Nelson, B.C.; and the cherished grandmother of Catherine, Craig, Shawn, Matthew, Andrea, Chris, Ryan, Darryl, Susan, Shelby and Jackson. She is also survived by 11 great grandchildren. Eleanor is the dear sister of Lorne (Doris) Beach of Oxford Mills and sister-in-law of Lilah Beach. She was predeceased by her brother Theodore Beach and her grandson Paul Carmichael. A celebration of Eleanor’s life was held at St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church, Kemptville on Friday, January 21, 2011 with Reverend Samar Kandalaft officiating. The eulogy was provided by Bill and Shawn Carmichael. The pallbearers were grandson’s Craig, Shawn, Chris, Ryan and Matt Carmichael and great grandson Austin Carmichael. Spring interment will be held at Oxford Mills Cemetery. For condolences and on-line guest book please visit: www.grantbrownfuneralhome.com
