FACING OFF FOR CHARITY Lajla and Rob Harlow drop the puck at the ceremonial faceoff during the Adam Harlow IP Fun Day, a fundraiser held last Saturday at the North Grenville Municipal Centre arena. Ottawa Senators mascot Spartacat joined 270 pint-sized players from 15 teams from as far away as Brockville and Ottawa for a busy pancake breakfast and an enjoyable day on the ice. The Adam Harlow Fellowship Fund, named after Rob and Lajla’s son Adam, a 9-year-old goaltender with the Kemptville Panthers who died in March 2002, pays the league registration fees of children whose families could not otherwise afford for them to play hockey. To date, the foundation has raised close to $40,000 and helped 95 young hockey players live their dreams.

POLITICS UP CLOSE Tyler Millson has returned from three weeks working as a Page at the Legislative Assembly at Queen’s Park, in Toronto.
The Acton’s Corners schoolhouse, reported to be all but sold to a private developer pending a zoning change, received an unexpected reprieve at the North Grenville council meeting Monday night. The municipality had reached an agreement to sell the former schoolhouse at 1631 County Rd. 43, one of several heritage buildings declared surplus last June. The buyer was to convert the distinctive turn of the century stone building into what Forbes Symon, North Grenville’s Director of Planning and Development, described at the last Committee of the Whole meeting as a “modest” single family dwelling. Passage of the rezoning bylaw, which would convert the land around the schoolhouse from rural-industrial to rural-special exemption, was a condition of purchase. But thanks to a last minute outcry from the heritage community and concerned citizens, which came to a head at an hour-long public meeting, council deferred the decision for two weeks until further investigation could be made into the potential costs involved with preparing the building for sale. Despite assurance from CAO Andy Brown that the buyer, not the municipality, would be responsible for carrying out an archeological assessment and solving any mould issues in the schoolhouse prior to further renovation, councillors Ken Finnerty and Terry Butler declared that they were not prepared to vote on the zoning bylaw.

They wanted to learn more about the potential pitfalls of the sale. This decision was met with cheers by approximately 20 citizens, some of whom had addressed council and expressed their support for the Acton’s Corners site as a vital part of North Grenville’s cultural heritage. Several speakers, including David Shanahan, president of the North Grenville Historical Society, questioned whether it was worth sacrificing a unique heritage site that he believes would become a popular, and lucrative, tourism site. In an eloquent address to councillors, Shanahan pointed out that Oxford-on-Rideau was first mapped 220 years ago. “This is our year of heritage awareness, and we’re going to sell off the best thing we have. It just doesn’t make sense,” he said, as most of the crowd applauded warmly. Brown would not disclose the amount of the sale, but those who petitioned the council mentioned that the original asking price of the schoolhouse was $105,000. Linda Gerrard of Kemptville wondered why council would sell what she called “a valuable piece of living history” for what amounted to 1/80th of the annual budget. Councillors Barb Tobin and Tim
Sutton countered that a private buyer would be better able to maintain the heritage aspects of the schoolhouse than the municipality itself. “Private ownership does not mean destruction,” Sutton told spectators. The interior and exterior of the schoolhouse – including the adjacent outhouses – have official heritage designation, so any renovations must follow strict guidelines as set out in the Ontario Heritage Act. The prospective owner’s interior renovation plan is currently under review by the municipality’s Heritage Advisory Committee, which would recommend where to dig the well so as to minimize disruption of the heritage site. It was acknowledged by Senior Planner Phil Gerrard that any tunnel dug for the septic system would likely cut through the archeological site, complicating the renovation. The only voice to speak in support of the bylaw was former North Grenville Mayor Bill Gooch, who called it “very wishful thinking” that the Acton’s Corners site would ever become a viable tourist destination. “We have to protect privies – I think that’s absurd,” Gooch said. The schoolhouse, which closed in 1965, was most recently used as the headquarters of the North Grenville Historical Society, which was driven

out by mould and other issues. Earlier in the week, Shanahan stated he was baffled by council’s “shortsighted” decision to sell what he calls “the perfect heritage site in North Grenville.” “It’s totally out of keeping with the official plan, (and) with all of the comments and commitments made to heritage by the candidates during the election,” said the frustrated historian. “It has no vision. Just politics again.” Shanahan believes that by selling the schoolhouse, the municipality is squandering an opportunity to promote heritage-based economic development. He had envisioned the “completely intact” schoolhouse becoming a tourist attraction, including an archeological dig to unearth artifacts from the even older, 1840s-era schoolhouse that stood on the site before the existing building went up in 1905. “Who knows what’s there, or what we could find?” he wondered. Government decisions to give up heritage properties are always bemoaned years later, Shanahan added, citing the now demolished Oxford Mills mill, which today would make a “brilliant” tourist draw. “I think in the long term (the schoolhouse) could make much more money for the municipality (as a tourist attraction) than they’re getting by selling it cheap as a residence,” Shanahan said. “We’re on the Rideau heritage corridor, for goodness sake.... The problem is, there hasn’t been a debate – not at all.” The purchaser had indicated that a well and septic tank will be installed on the property, along with heating and plumbing systems, and a kitchen. Interior partitions were to create bedrooms where students once sat in rows of desks. “That’s something, that going into this, was understood – that a well and a septic system, and a bathroom, would be the minimum amount of disruption that would have to happen on the property,” Symon explained. The original desks are still inside the schoolhouse, and the blackboards, built-in library cupboard, wall and ceiling paneling and hard wood flooring are in great shape. “To be honest, it seems a bit daft that they’re spending time wondering what to do with the desks, and the school bell, and the wood stove, and even the key and the locks on the door, which are unique. Well, where they are now is the perfect museum,” Shanahan said. Though the heritage community had pushed for the money derived from the sale of the surplus buildings to go into a heritage promotion fund, council confirmed that proceeds from the schoolhouse sale would help fund the new library in Kemptville. 453862-13-11

Spring Seat Meet in Spencerville The collecting bug can bite anyone anytime. Spencerville resident Joe Lawrence was bitten over 30 years ago and has never regretted it. He never stops collecting bits of history. Coming from a rural community, Lawrence has naturally been attracted to the hundreds of antique farm implements and household items that at one time over the past century were an important part of everyday life in rural Ontario. Lawrence is involved in many different kinds of collecting. One of his favourite pastimes is tracking down cast iron implement seats when he is not at work at Dixie and Egan Ltd., a feed store in Spencerville. Lawrence is a member of the Cast Iron Seat Collectors Association. The group is spread throughout the world, having members not only in North America but also in Europe and in the United Kingdom. On Friday, April 8, the Canadian branch of the association will be celebrating its 25th anniversary with a Spring Seat Meet at the Drummond Building in Spencerville. “There are hand forged tools, old implement wrenches and cast iron seats, among other items at the meet,” said Lawrence. He said the idea of the gettogether is to trade information and antiques but also to have some fun.

Joe Lawrence shows off a few items he has collected. They will be on display at the Spring Seat Meet on April 8 at the Drummond Building on the Spencerville Fairgrounds. “I like different kinds of things,” he said adding that he had a great ice cream scoop collection along with an eye cup collection. Lawrence loves history, and during the Spencerville Fair he is involved with “The Barn of Learning.” The barn is filled with Lawrence’s and others’ collections of everything from egg beaters to potato mashers. According to Lawrence, there never really is an end to what you can find and collect. “I have been to all of the meets,’ said Lawrence, and he thinks the Spencerville one was the best. The last time the association came to Spen-
UPCOMING MEETINGS
cerville was in 2000. “There were 600 people there,” said Lawrence. “I am hoping for 1,000 this year.” There was a time when farms employed a variety of farming equipment that over time was replaced by the modern day tractor. Just about every piece of machinery that a farmer had to operate had a seat of some kind to ride on. In this part of Ontario, the biggest manufacturers of cast iron seats was a Brockville company called the J.W. Mann Manufacturing Company. J. Walter Mann was born in 1842 in Port Dover, Ontario. He came to Brockville in 1877. He started up a company making seeders, and it was not long before his machinery was being sold throughout Canada and the rest of the world. He made cultivators, pulverizers, sowers and seed drills as well as seeders. The company stopped making the equipment in 1907. Lawrence explains that during the First World War, all available scrap metal was brought in and melted down to keep the war machinery going. Much of the old equipment, replaced by modern mechanisms and tractors, had been left to rust in farmers’ fields. The recycling of all of that metal left what remained very collectable. There is no admission to the April 9 Spring Seat Meet. It runs from 8 a.m to 2 p.m. with an auction at 2 p.m. For more information and to rent tables, please call Joe Lawrence at 613-658-3018. 452028

Curtain opens on election drama A federal election has been thrust upon us. Many wonder why we are having one in the first place. There has been lots of talk from every party, loads of finger pointing, more than a bit of self-serving wailing, accusations flying left and right about mistakes made and errors waiting to be made, ill-fated plans aborted and no end to the comedy-drama we have all been sitting through. The show would not be so bad if there was a plot we could follow and dialogue we could hear. Was the Harper government pushed or did they jump? Did they stumble or are they the victims of circumstance? Either way, it is a script voters don’t appreciate. The Harper government, according to the Liberal Party, is more than willing to behave dishonourably in order to stay in power. The NDP claim the choice was Harper’s to make about whether or not to place opposition parties in the position to bring down the government. In the end, 156 opposition MPs, including all of the Liberals, New Democrats and the Bloc Québécois who were present for that special moment, put on a fine and breathtaking show of expressing their non-confidence leanings. The rational behind the opposition parties’ decision to take the government down is
confusing. Are the Liberals confident that their time has come? Does the NDP feel that their leader is the only one on the political stage that can carry a tune? Does the Conservative Party believe they are really controlling the way the story is playing out? Has anyone on the political stage noticed what their audience is doing? There is no cheering in the aisles or clapping from the back rows. If anything, the audience is looking away from the stage in embarrassment for the actors on it. What politicians will hear, if they stopped braying, is the sound of millions of Canadians, young and old, quietly going about their business – going to work, caring for their neighbours and their communities, and fundraising for all of those around the world who are less fortunate. In other words, they are living their lives in spite of the political upheaval in Ottawa. There is a reason why Harper was only able to raise a minority government in the last election, just as there is a reason why the Liberals and NDP were unable to break through with the support they needed. Canadians do not spend a great deal of time or energy on posturing. They look for leadership.

Politics boring? Not here Where Ottawans always stand out is when the pollster asks if they would like an election, if one hasn’t been called, or if they are interested in the election, if one has. This is like asking people at a hockey game if they are interested in the hockey game. People elsewhere might profess a lack of interest, but politics is Ottawa’s major sport. Hockey might sometimes be considered a rival, but certainly not this year. Why would you not want another game? While people in less enlightened parts of the country bemoan politicking, condemn partisanship and generally dismiss the political struggles as ritual, we who live in the shadow of the Peace Tower have quite a different view. Politics gives shape to our community, meaning to our lives. Politics affects our friendships. We all know people who work in politics — as politicians, as strategists, as volunteers, as political reports — and we know that they are real people too. Even the reporters. They go to the church or the pub, they belong to the book club, they have kids who play hockey, they mow their lawns and shovel their snow. So even if we don’t vote the way they do, we can suffer along with them, or take some
CHARLES GORDON Funny Town pleasure from their triumphs. To us, politics is not some exotic activity that other people do, like polo or wine-tasting. It is central to our life. And central to our jobs as well. We don’t have to work in the party backrooms for political events to shape our lives. The public service changes significantly after elections. The change is not so great as in the U.S., where more top jobs are filled in and after elections. But top jobs do change here and the occupants make their appointments and before you know it, you’ve got a new position, maybe a better one, maybe not. And your neighbour, who works for a company that supplies widgets to a government department, is all of a sudden selling less widgets or more, depending on the political decisions somebody

made somewhere up the line. The neighbour on the other side, who works for an NGO, is delighted or depressed by something the new folks have done. Even if jobs don’t change, priorities do. More will be spent, or less. The environment is a priority, or not. Foreign aid goes up, or doesn’t. With every decision, somebody’s job description changes. You know that, and even if you haven’t experienced it yourself, you’ve heard the muttering from your relatives, or the people next door. The government doesn’t have to change for any of this to happen. Ministers change and new ministers have new ideas, or no ideas at all. Even if a government wins re-election, it learns things from the campaign. Uh-oh, the government discovers, the people want more of this and less of that. Better make it happen. In the attempt to make it happen, the woman around the corner suddenly becomes more important at work. Or the family suddenly has to sell the second car. All of this means that politics is a spectator sport all year ’round in our town. People have to keep an eye on what’s going on. Even the most routine exchange of

A politician was lambasted last year for saying that the isotope crisis was “sexy”. A junk-picker on a reality show labeled a rusty old European clock “sexy”. And if you watch television, listen to the radio and read magazines, you might notice something else that is suddenly sexy: Farming. In this usage, sexy means it’s a hot topic or commodity. People are talking about it. It’s getting attention. Perhaps it’s our new sense of global awareness that is prompting us to look upon one of the most basic of occupations, providing food from the land, with a new kind of fondness. We live in a land of abundance. We have the ability to produce enough wheat to feed the world. That is, if we don’t turn all of our farmland over to development. Farms are disappearing, as are farmers. Perhaps that rarity is making them sexier.
Of course, farming was always sexy, the ones that count. if we were paying attention. Yes, it inFarmers are strong.

I reacted to the news of Fire Chief Bond’s retirement with a combination of regret and the most sincere admiration for a job well done. As chief of our fire department Tim has been an innovator, peacemaker, leader and community champion of many social causes. Tim’s efforts to have rural water storage tanks and the establishment of a “water tanker” shuttle service have resulted in huge insurance savings and enhanced fire protection for the majority of rural residents as we qualify for “hydrant protected rates.” Leading a highly skilled department of volunteers can be equated to herding cats through water, yet Tim accomplished this task over the years in an outstanding manner. The Kemptville/ North Grenville fire department’s training program and results achieved are the envy of many of our neighbours; the proof of Tim’s training success is in the fact that so many of our volunteers have been hired by the City of Ottawa. Working with his colleagues and the Fire Department Association, Tim has participated in and organized many events over the years. These events resulted in fundraising to buy special fire equipment, which would have had to be provided through taxation if not for the dedication of the department. The

debt Stevens supposedly owed him. Before the dazed Burritts could collect their wits, Merrick owned the land, which he called Merrick’s Mills, better known today as Merrickville. HISTORY see next page

History talk enlivens the past From page 6 “I’ve no time for William Merrick,” said “Martha,” as the audience chuckled. Lindsay, a member of the Rideau Township Historical Society, gives historical talks to school groups and other interested organizations, using her evident flair for the dramatic to bring characters like Martha Burritt to life. Last October, the retired teacher from Kars published the second edition of her book Kars on the Rideau, updating the original 1972 version. “Since I was I child, I’ve been interested in history, and it’s become a passion,” she said, wearing a red plaid shawl and cap, with a decorative brooch called a cameo adorning her blouse. Several audience members also got into character by wearing flowery bonnets and period dresses. Martha Burritt was the first woman of European ancestry to settle in the Rideau area, arriving with other United Empire Loyalist refugees after harrowing years imprisoned by the “rebels” during the Revolutionary War. The audience chuckled as Lindsay told them of Roger Stevens’ final act of sabotage against his American captors. Before fleeing, Stevens and his compatriots stole the millstones from the nearby mill and floated them away on large rafts, rendering the mill unusable.
While guiding British agents through the United States and picking up intelligence about the rebels, Stevens carried bundles of fur from village to village to maintain his cover as a fur trader. He was eventually arrested and flogged on suspicion of spying. “He wasn’t really a fur trader, you know,” Lindsay winked. After catching young Stephen Burritt’s eye while loitering near the parade ground one day – “Picking wildflowers,” Lindsay said slyly – the two married and moved to Augusta Township, while Stevens pushed forth into Rideau County, “wherever in the world that was.” During a voyage north, Stephen Burritt’s raft went aground at what is today Burritt’s Rapids, and the young family built a log cabin and settled there in 1793, the year their son Edmund became the first European child born along the Rideau. Lindsay’s talk illuminated the hardships faced by Martha Burritt as young wife and mother in the unforgiving Canadian wilderness, while her father and husband fought for the Loyalists. During the War of 1812, Stephen helped build Fort Wellington at Prescott, and Martha worked the farm and raised her family. Lindsay described the “relief and joy” she and the other women would have
felt when their husbands could finally cease fighting the Americans and return home. One audience member who drove in from Ottawa to see the presentation had a personal connection to the story. Mary Surtees is the granddaughter of Alfred and Ruth Burritt, on her mother’s side. “I’ve got lots of stories,” Surtees said of her illustrious family, whose descendants include Elishu Burritt, the “learned blacksmith” featured in the Longfellow poem “The Village Blacksmith.” Surtees learned something new about her famous ancestors. “It was a wonderful talk,” she said. After the presentation, someone asked Lindsay where Burritt’s original log cabin from 1793 had been built. “If you find out, please tell me!” the historian replied. One woman remembered an older man standing on the bridge and waving his walking stick toward “a flat piece of ground, near where the falls are,” claiming that the log cabin had been built there on the floodplain. But she couldn’t be sure. “What really happened to Roger Stevens?” another audience member wanted to know. “You mean, did William Merrick do him in?” Lindsay replied, laughing. “The jury’s still out on that one.”
disability. Their mandate begins with a belief that people with intellectual disabilities have the same rights as anyone else. Community Living believes that with some help, these same people can enjoy and exercise these rights. The shared vision of Community Living is that all persons live in a state of dignity. The show is bound to be a hit with everyone. David Merry has a long list of awards attached to his career, which began with a lead role in Bartholomew and the Oobleck in Grade 4 at Bedford Park School in Toronto. By the time he was thirteen, Merry had discov-
ered the thrill of magic. He performed his first magic show at a friend’s birthday on April Fools Day in 1976. His fate as an entertainer was sealed after he started to take drama classes while in high school at Lawrence Park Collegiate. After high school, he took part in Second City workshops. It was just a matter of time before he was confident enough to try his hand at stand-up comedy on amateur night at the local comedy club. He never looked back, and since then has performed more than 7,000 shows across all of North America, and on over 70 television shows.

heads.” MPP Steve Clark, representing Leeds and Grenville, was happy to have a student from Kemptville as Page. “Tyler is a remarkable young man,” Clark said. “I think he enjoyed the legislative assembly experience and it was nice for me to have another Leeds-Grenville resident in the Chamber. He is a bright, polite ad engaging youth who exemplifies the qualities of a future leader.” Tyler found the experience very informative and revealing. He saw firsthand what elected officials have to deal with, and how they work. “On television, you can’t hear all of the people talking,” he said. “I heard MPPs discussing issues and what should be done about them. Some wanted change and others wanted things to stay the same.”

THINK GREEN
Kemptville student Tyler Millson is back from a few weeks at Queen’s Park in Toronto. The Grade 8 student at Kemptville Public School was part of the Page program. He enjoyed a great experience away from his normal life as a young man living in Kemptville while getting a firsthand look at what provincial political leaders do every day. Tyler’s journey began back in November 2010, when he applied for a spot as a Page at Queen’s Park. “I had to write a 750 word essay on why they should chose me,” he said. Being picked for the experience was not all that easy. Tyler had to have a Grade A average and be willing to continue with his schoolwork in between working at Queen’s Park. He also had to be able to memorize the names and faces as well as the seating plan for 107 Members of Parliament (MPPs). Tyler admits that he was initially nervous about being able to cram all of those faces and names into his memory. But after a few weeks spending two hours a day studying the list of names, he was ready. “At first I was nervous,” he said, “but once you get used to the long days, it was fun.” Once selected to be a Page, he went down to Toronto to learn all of the rules and regulations about what a Page was supposed to do. His main job was making sure that MPPs had water to drink and to be on hand to carry messages from one to another. The experience of listening and watching as the provincial government did its job was interesting to Tyler. “What caught my attention was listening to them talk about schools and how to change them. All I could do was listen,” he said. Being a Page means you are able to see politicians working up close. “I never knew they had to focus on so many different things,” he said. “Some (MPPs) had scripts they would follow, and others would talk off the top of their

Getting started in the garden MARY ANN VAN BERLO KELLY NOEL Master Gardeners
You look at your yard and see room for improvement! That’s when you decide that this year your garden is going to be better
than ever. Or maybe this is the year that you try your hand at gardening for the first time. Either way, there are some starting points to consider. SITE ASSESSMENT Start by taking a look at your
lot. Are there any low spots which drain slowly after a heavy rainfall? If this happens, either correct the problem or work with it. Correct it by adding soil to build up low spots, or excavating a drainage ditch to direct the water away from your property (but do check with the Municipality
before doing any work that affects neighbouring properties). Work with it by planning a pond or bog garden for a natural low spot or plant trees and plants there that like wet conditions. Another consideration is the lot’s orientation. How much sun does each area get per day?
GET READY FOR THE BIG-TICKET
EVENT OF 2012!
And finally, what is the soil type? A simple test is to take a handful of soil and squeeze it; does the soil form a ball that holds its shape? If it doesn’t, the soil is probably sandy. If the ball holds together even when you poke it, the soil is mainly clay. If it falls apart when poked, the soil is loamy (somewhere between sand & clay). This information will tell you what soil preparation will be needed. If your home is located on an outcropping of the Canadian Shield, digging a new garden bed could be a challenge, but you might consider raised beds. WHAT DO YOU WANT? Make a wish list of the features you want to include in your garden. Are you looking for the perfect garden oasis? Do you want to grow vegetables and/or a flower garden? Will you entertain in your yard? Do you need play space for children? Is there a style of garden design that appeals to you? Once you know what you want, you can make a plan. PLAN FIRST

Sketch a bird’s eye view of your property, keeping it more or less in scale. Draw the house on it and mark the doors and windows that have a view. Sketch in the driveway and other permanent features such as sheds, hydro pads and existing mature trees. Draw in a north-south arrow. Make some photocopies. Next sketch in permanent “hardscape� features from your wish-list: patios, decks, play structure/areas, a pond, fountains, etc. When you do this, consider traffic flow – it should be natural and unimpeded. Paths can take you directly from point A to B or they can be meandering and more about the journey than the destination. The walkway to the front door should be direct, but a path through the backyard might be curved and casual to encourage a slow stroll through the gardens. Add garden beds on your sketch. Instead of small beds and separate features that dot the yard, try to pull different elements together with the plantings. Consider placing a bed beside the patio or around a bird bath. Plan for the mature size of the plants – they do grow! So remember, no full size trees close to the house! Will you grow any food plants? An herb or vegetable garden needs full sun. Easy accessibility from the kitchen is a bonus that will make it convenient and easy to use, but full sun is a must. Continued next page

If your wish list is long and beyond your budget, break the plan up into manageable bits and complete one area per year. If you have a plan that has repetitive use of features such as plant material or a building material, then the garden will look unified when finished even if it is done over several years.
BEFORE YOU DIG Contact Ontario One Call for a site “locate” (http://on1call. com/index.php/homeowners/). Knowing where utilities are buried is essential before the shovel goes in the ground for any excavation.

Humus is decomposed organic matter such as compost or manure. Work it into the soil before planting. Soil that is rich in or-
BUDGET There are other ways to make gardening easier on the budget. Start plants from seed. Many annuals and vegetables can be started indoors in April. Some can be sewn directly outdoors. Ask your neighbours if they have plants that need dividing. Gardeners are very generous with extra plants. Do be cautious – if they have lots of one plant to give away, that might mean the plant is invasive. Check for a local garden club or horticultural society. They often hold
Use a garden hose to lay out the edges of beds. Step back take a look. Consider maintenance – will it be easy to mow around the bed? Remove the sod using a sod lifter. Make sure you remove any tap roots from weeds that might have been in the lawn.
Do you suffer from
With all that planning, research and prep work finally done – now you get to play in the dirt! Follow your plan, but don’t be too rigid. The best way to get a feel for how it will look is to set the plants out on the prepared bed in their pots. Once you’re happy with the overall look, start planting. Make sure the potted plants are well watered before you plant them. Don’t plant things deeper than they were growing in the pot. Once everything is planted, water well and continue to do so regularly until they are established. MAINTENANCE Apply a 5cm layer of mulch – this will keep weeds down and conserve water. During the season, weed the beds as needed. Deadheading (removing spent flowers) will keep the plants looking tidy, prevent self-seeding and extend the bloom season, especially in annuals. These basic steps will help you start or improve your garden. However the most important step in gardening is to sit back and enjoy the results!

Plants can have many roles in the landscape. They can be decorative or functional.A hedge or tree might be a wind-break or block an unpleasant view. A specimen plant such as a flowering tree or shrub can be used as a focal point. And don’t just think of ground level plants. Make the yard more appealing by creating layers of interest. Trees and shrubs should be inter-planted with perennials to add height and texture. Plants have different growing requirements. Pick plants that suit the soil type and sun exposure your lot provides. Doing all of this research at the planning stage will save money and give you a better chance of success. Some tips to think about when making your plant list: • Include a range of heights, with taller ones in the back of a border or the middle of an island bed, graduating down to the lowest at the edges. • Have something in bloom at all times. Shrubs and perennials only bloom for a short period of time, so include a variety of plants to cover the season. • Choose some plants for their attractive foliage which provides season long beauty in contrast to a few brief weeks of bloom. • Attract birds and pollinators, by having a constant supply of food sources (plants in bloom) and shelter in the form of dense trees or shrubs. • Plants look best in groups. Plant several together and it is best to work in odd numbers – 3 or 5 of a kind look better than 2 or 4. • Avoid planting in rows (except in a vegetable garden). Clumps of tulips look better and have more impact than a row of them standing at command.

Peewee Storm wins on the road
There has been little rest this season for the Kemptville Peewee Girls Storm. Their season got underway with what started out as a winning weekend in late January. The team headed to St. Albans in Vermont. They were able to win a round robin series of three games against local teams. In the semifinals, they managed to get past the St. Albans squad to earn a spot in the finals against a team from Manchester, New Hampshire. The game was a good one as the Storm gave as good as they got, but ended up on the losing end of a 1-0 game. The lessons learned during the actionpacked weekend will help the team move on in the upcoming league playoff games and tournaments. On March 18-20 the girls traveled to Vaughan, north of Toronto. For this tournament, the team took on players from Lindsay to North York. They beat the Lindsay Lynx on Friday afternoon at York University’s Can-Lan arena. Later that night, the Storm went up against the North York Storm at the Bayview arena. After a slow first period, the Kemp-

tville Storm rallied in the third period for a comefrom-behind victory. That Saturday afternoon the Pee Wee Storm was again in force as the round robin portion of the tournament began. Teams from North York and Lindsay squared off against the Kemptville team. Two wins by the Kemptville squad insured they would be able to take a shot at the North York Storm for the “A” final held that Sunday. The final match was won by the Kemptville Storm, who came home with “A” championship banner. A highlight of the tournament was the Storm’s performance. They outscored their opponents 45 goals, versus one goal against, as goaltender Kyra Valcour allowed only two goals between the Vermont and Vaughn tournaments. The Storm girls next road trip is again planned for Toronto from April 8-10. The Kemptville team has earned a position through play downs, edging out the local Brockville Angels and Russell Warriors to represent the District “A” Pee Wee girls.

TAX CORNER New legislation introduced with the 2009 federal budget may help make it easier for you. A non-refundable tax credit is now available to first time purchasers who purchase their home with a closing date after January 27, 2009 (regardless of when the offer was made). A $5,000 credit amount, which translates to a $750 reduction in federal tax, can be claimed on the tax return in the year the deal closes. This may not seem like a large amount but it may help towards paying the many closing costs, which often catch first time buyers by surprise. The federal government has also proposed that, effective for withdrawals made after January 27, 2009 the maximum amount that can be withdrawn from an RRSP to buy or build a home, without having to pay tax on the withdrawal will be increased from $20,000 to $25,000. The withdrawal amount must be repaid to the RRSP on a fixed schedule over the next 15 Tax Returns for 2010 and Previous Years – Do Them Now! Relief Requested. Reasonable Rates. years.

In the first series of the CCHL semifinals, the Pembroke Lumber Kings will battle the Gloucester Rangers. Pembroke defeated Smiths Falls in four straight games while Gloucester came from behind to defeat Carleton Place in six games. The series opened in Pembroke on March 22 at the Pembroke Memorial Arena. With just under a thousand fans on hand, the Lumber Kings defeated the Rangers 5-2. The Kings jumped out to a 3-0 lead by the first intermission. The Rangers got one back in the second but
could not catch up. Scoring for Pembroke was Brandon Gagne with a pair and Jonathan Milley, Tyler Tosunian and Maurice Alvarez with singles. Answering for Gloucester were Jordan Fequet and Nathan Pancel. Game two returned to the Earl Armstrong Arena on March 24. This time, the teams were deadlocked at three at the end of the second. Unfortunately for Gloucester, Pembroke was able to shut down their offence in the third, holding them to just four shots on goal while the Lumber Kings scored three times to take the 6-3 victory. The goal scorers were Stefan Salituro and Mitchell Gallant with two each while
Matthew Peca and Will Seeber added the other two for the Lumber Kings. Gloucester marksmen were Nathan Pancel, Jordan Fequet and Devin Cobbold. With Gloucester hoping to get on track, game three was in Pembroke on March 27. The Lumber Kings came out flying on home ice, scoring three times in the first period before the Rangers got one of their own. All this action took place before the game was ten minutes old. In the second, Pembroke added two more to take a 5-1 lead into the second intermission. They limited Gloucester to just eight shots on goal in two periods. In the third, it looked as if
Spring is in the air
the Rangers were going to make a game of it as they scored twice in the first six minutes of the period. But there was no more scoring until the last minute of play, when Pembroke added one more to win the game by a score of 63. Scoring for Gloucester were Matt Miller, Michael McMurtry and Nathan Pancel. The Pembroke snipers were led by Matthew Zay with two, Tyler Tosunian, Kyle Just, Ted Pletsch and Matthew Peca. Game four goes back to Gloucester on Monday, Mar.28 with the Lumber Kings up 3-0 in the series. The other semi-final series features the Cornwall Colts tak-
ing on the Brockville Braves in the first Hwy. 401 series in a long time. Cornwall eliminated Kanata in the controversial series in five games, while it took Brockville the whole seven games to get rid of the pesky Nepean team. The series opened at the Ed Lumley Arena in Cornwall on Thursday, Mar. 24. The Braves took a 2-0 lead into the first intermission on goals by Maxime Dumond and David Roy. In the second period, Dumond added his second of the game while the Colts got two back when Kevin Cole and Tylor Spink scored. HOCKEY see page 27

Sports
Hockey action continues At the end of the second, the game was tied at two, with each team scoring once per period. The Braves were unable to beat Colts goalie Pete Karvouniaris in the third, while their goalie was beaten three times. Scoring for Cornwall were Drew Henry, Michael Borkowski and Kevin Cole with singles and Jacob Laliberte with a pair. Scoring for Brockville were Maxime Dumond and Mike Skakum. With the 5-2 victory, Cornwall returned home with a 2-0 lead in the best of seven series. The Colts carried on right where they left off in game three, scoring the only goal of the first
period. Drew Henry, with his second goal in as many games, was the Cornwall scorer. But the Braves roared back in the second, with Mark Belvedere scoring the hat trick and Kenny Matheson adding a fourth. The second intermission had Brockville leading 4-1. In the third, the Colts got one more to make it a little closer but that was all for this night as the Braves took the 4-2 victory in front of 1,459 fans.

Just 1:34 into the third, this year’s leading scorer in the CCHL, Jacob Laliberte, tied the game at three. And it stayed that way through the third to force overtime. The Colts fans among the 1,607 present went home happy when Cornwall’s Michael Borkowski scored the winner at 4:13 of the overtime period. With a game one victory under their belts, the Colts traveled down the 401 to the Brockville Memorial Centre for game two the next night.
