North Grenville library has a new name JOSEPH MORIN

joe.morin@metroland.com

The North Grenville Public Library officially has a name.

Once completed, the new library building will be called The Norenberg Building.

The official announcement of the naming of the building came on Thursday, April 14 as members of the Room to Read Campaign, library staff and members of the Norenberg family gathered at the building site.

The Kemptville family has created a successful eastern Ontario business in Kemptville with their Kemptville Building Centre Ltd. and Kemptville Home Furniture store.

The Norenberg Building is almost complete.

Inside the new building the walls and floors, doors and fixtures are in place.

The inside construction is coming to an end and the inside furnishings are starting to arrive. The last item on the Room to Read to do list will be the May 28 grand opening during the Dandelion Festival.

The Norenberg family has been quietly supporting the Room to Read campaign whenever they

could.

“It’s only fitting that the Norenberg name be on our new library because they have been strong supporters of this project from the very beginning,” explained library board chair Lynne Baxter in a statement about the announcement.

She pointed out that the naming rights represent one of the biggest single donations to the fundraising campaign.

At the announcement, the group of library supporters stood in the middle of the large and airy main room of the Norenberg building.

Ardent library supporter Harry Pratt looked around at the line of large windows running along the street side of the building, the expansive ceilings and artfully crafted shapes of the walls and said, “I call this the jewel of Prescott Street.”

Speaking for Bill McElrea, the chair of the Room to Read Campaign, Pratt thanked the Norenberg family for their generosity and support. Pratt, no stranger to helping the North Grenville community, explained that in any fundraising drive there is a defining moment. He used a baseball

In 1998, Kemptville Home Furniture was created and became partner to the thriving Kemptville Building Supplies operation and North Grenville and area residents now had the perfect combination of building supply services and lifestyle ideas, all at one location.

The Room to Read Campaign was launched in 2008. The fundraiser’s mandate was to raise the remaining $750,000 needed to complete the construction of the library. Individuals and corporations were given the opportunity to name various parts of the building, including the children’s area, the Fireplace Lounge and the Program Room.

promises.”

The North Grenville community grew as Norenberg Construction Ltd. did. The company built NCL custom homes, developed subdivisions, and constructed commercial buildings in Kemptville as well as in the surrounding country side. In 1975, Karl and Christa established the Kemptville Building Centre Ltd. a family owned and operated business. Karl was in charge of the day to operations of the business and Christa looked after its administration concerns. Their children, Eric and Margret, grew up with the successful business and eventually they were involved with it. Eric took on a managerial role at a young age.

“The way the library is built now, it should become a community place where people can meet,” Eric Norenberg explained. “Our family has been part of this community for over 45 years and the Kemptville Building Centre has been a fixture here since 1975. Investing in the library is a tangible way of thanking people for their years of support.”

In a press release Margret Norenberg said, “We are honoured to have our family name on this magnificent new building. And, like everyone else in North Grenville, we can’t wait for it to open its doors.”

Karl and Christa Norenberg arrived from Germany in the mid-1960s. Their story goes back to when they were in kindergarten together in Germany.

Karl started out in the Eastern Townships in Quebec as a farmer. He and Christa came to Kemptville when Karl was offered a position with Eastern Breeders Inc. Karl Norenberg’s interest in building and his education in that field prompted him to start up Norenberg Construction Ltd. in 1971.

“He was always interested in building,” remembers Christa. “We built our own house. Then people started to ask him to build one for them.” Eventually the building became a full-time job. Christa said, “He always like to help people and he always kept his

Lawrence Levere has been acclaimed as the new chair of the South Nation Conservation board of directors.

Levere along with Bill Smirle, was acclaimed at the March 24 meeting as vice - chair of the SNC board. The annual general meeting was held at the SNC headquarters in Finch. Levere is replacing Ken Hill from the United Counties of Prescott Russell who will be moving into the past chair position for the next two years.

Levere, who has served on the board for the past four years as a director for the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville was thrilled at his acclimation. Levere will be the first Grenville resident in the past 22 years to hold the position.

In a press release, Levere said that the SNC must never become, “an organization of disc jockeys.” He complemented the work that SNC had achieved such as its filed work, its connections to schools and municipalities and its ability to attract all important grants. In the last year, SNC has been able to acquire $4 million. Floyd Dingwall had held the past chair position. Dingwall will be retiring form the board after 17 years however he will remain active in the various SNC committees.

He represents Stormont Dundas and Glengarry.

Both Hill and Dingwall took a moment to speak of their gratifying association with board.

Hill said that the SNC was the best conservation authority in Ontario. Dingwall pointed out the effectiveness of the original vision from the founders of SNC

65 years ago.

Bill Smirle, as the vice-chair, explained the need for SNC to remember the “4Cs” of the organization as they move forward.

They are collaboration, cooperation, communication and coordination.

The positions will have duties related to Land Use Planning, Econom ic Developm ent and Heritage. Dem onstrated skills in the areas of research, data collection, survey design, report writing and GIS are required for these positions.

Candidates are to be enrolled in a post-secondary education program in the fields of geography, econom ic development, com m unity planning or public adm inistration. Experience working in a team/office environm ent will be required. In addition, candidates will be expected to have a valid driver’s licence and be prepared to work flexible hours.

Giving crosses political borders Setting aside the 2011 federal election for a moment, and all of the drama it entails, consider a different kind of choice you can make anytime you want.

In May we all get to go out and vote. Then we wait four years, maybe, to do it all over again.

However, there is a way you can exercise your civic duty right now without having to listen to a leaders debate first.

From hospital renovations to new public libraries and local food banks, all of us can make a very real difference each and every day.

In the past, we have seen the late George Drummond build the Drummond building at the Spencerville Fairgrounds. That gift continues to give to the community and has become a great meeting place and agricultural stage for the area. In South Mountain, The House of Lazarus partners with Jonsson’s Your Independent Grocer to work on the Extra Helping Spring National Food Drive. As summer approaches, food bank reserves begin to run low.

In 2010, customers across Canada who took a moment or two to choose to donate non-perishable food and funds at the checkout counter raised more than $1 million. Along the way they also donated 1.6 million pounds of food

for food banks across the country. This year the groups supporting the food drive are raising the ante to $1.2 million and 1.2 million pounds of food.

In the case of the food drive in North Grenville and the surrounding area, one hundred per cent of the food donated and 70 per cent of the funds collected at the Jonsson’s Independent Grocers location will go directly to the House of Lazarus food bank. The remaining 30 percent will go to support provincial food bank programs.

That is only one of many examples of community partnerships organizations make and people choose to support. At the same time, there are endless private businesses donating cash and their time for their particular public cause, such as the Beth Donovan Hospice in Kemptville or the Salvation Army and Kemptville District Hospital. The Norenberg family in Kemptville donated $150,000 to the new North Grenville Public Library simply because they believe in sharing their good fortune with the rest of the community.

All of these acts of kindness and philanthropy are what make communities strong regardless of their political stripe.

COLUMN

What goes around, crashes around By the morning after the leaders’ televised election debate, 380,888 people had watched a You Tube video of a driverless tractor in a Walmart parking lot in suburban Toronto.

Apparently 670 people liked it and 28 people disliked it.

For those who haven’t seen the video, what happens is that a tractor without a driver somehow begins driving in wide circles around the parking lot. It keeps returning to the side of the Walmart building, occasionally scraping it, then heads out into the parking lot again on another sweep and bashes into cars, pushing some ahead of it. It jumps the curb and crushes a tree.

The only sound to be heard is the roar of the tractor and the voices of some of the people gathered to watch from a safe distance.

“Oh, man, I feel sorry for those cars,” someone says.

The tractor makes several sweeps. In the middle of one, a police car arrives, then another. They drive around a bit, as if they don’t know what to do.

Only the tractor knows what to do.

Finally, it slams into a light pole, stops and somebody climbs up, reaches in and turns off the ignition.

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town There is no applause from the spectators, but someone can be heard saying to the video camera owner: “Put ’em on You Tube you got good money for that.”

Somehow there are lessons in here for us and for our political leaders, who were too busy debating to watch. For example, the video lasts six minutes and 11 seconds, which is very long in our short-attention-span world. Yet people watched it all the way through, which is more than can be said for the average political speech or even political commercial.

Because You Tube world has strange practices of its own, several people even posted their own videotaped reviews of the event.

Could such an event be restaged for political gain — a driverless bus with Liberal colours, for example, knocking over everything in sight in a parking lot,

perhaps somewhere in the West? Everybody would certainly watch and some would post reviews about it.

Mind you, the bus would be condemned as “reckless,” but that might not matter. Experts say the hit count is everything. As long as thousands of people click on it, everything is fine.

This is a dominant philosophy in our digital age: it doesn’t matter what I do as long as people watch it.

So far that hasn’t come to politics — aside from Stockwell Day driving the jetski — but it will. As McLuhan told us, the medium is the message and nowhere is this more evident than on the Internet.

Not to say anyone actually did it in this case, but you can stage an event, turn your camera on it and everybody watches, if the event is outlandish enough.

This was not possible in the old days.

You might be able to stage the event, but someone else had to hold the camera, then you had to get the film developed, then rent a hall for people to come see it and there might be something else on that night.

This is why there were fewer driverless tractors driving around parking lots in the old days. Also fewer piano-playing

cats.

But technology improved and so did our ability to exploit it to get noticed. By the 1970s, baseball fans learned to wave at the TV cameras. A decade later, they could set their VCRs to record the game so that they could come home and watch themselves waving at cameras. And when digital phones arrived, they could call their friends and tell them to turn on their TV sets to watch them wave.

And now, technology is so advanced that it can all be done over the phone!

What would McLuhan say to that?

He would probably say that the real point is something else entirely, but for sure he’d click.

to find their mother’s teat. They will only survive if we manage to get some of their mother’s colostrum into them. I’m no good at milking sheep. I tried, and the ewe was very patient, but I only got a few drops. We had to wait for the Farmer to come home at

Special to the Advance

I headed out to the barn the other morning with lambs on my mind. The ewes are right on schedule for the season, and they’ve been patiently waiting in the barn for a couple of weeks now.

First I checked under and around the feeders in the yard. I don’t want anyone getting away with dropping a lamb and abandoning it. It’s happened before.

Then I checked all corners in the barn, where the ewes who are still outside (awaiting haircuts) would most likely wander in to give birth. That isn’t the plan, of course (but farm animals laugh at human plans).

The most pregnant-looking ewes have already been shorn and are inside, where it is dry and warm.

When I entered the lambing area, I noticed something odd.

A ewe was lying on her side, and all her pen-mates were as far from her as possible, in the corner. I climbed in to see what I could do. Normally I would call the Farmer in at this point but he had already headed in to work for his last day of exams. I was on my own.

The ewe appeared to be very old. She had a very bony back and she was wearing the metal ear tag belonging to the first set of sheep the Farmer had bought about eleven years ago. She had probably provided over a dozen lambs over the years.

I tucked a flannel rag under her cheek to make her more comfortable. Her eyes looked sad. Her breathing was shallow.

I decided to roll her onto a blanket and pull her out of the pen so that she wouldn’t get trampled by the other sheep on their way to the feeder. Sometimes all we can do is make them comfortable in their last hours.

I wasn’t even sure if she was pregnant. It’s sometimes difficult to tell, particularly with the old girls.

I wondered if she was dying of old age or if she had just toppled over and exhausted herself, as the

lunch.

I mixed up a bottle of milk replacer and fed my new lambs.

They weren’t very good suckers – so I filled a syringe dropper with milk and filled their bellies that way. That afternoon the Farmer did the best he could to

pregnant ewes seem to be fond of doing.

I rolled her up onto her elbows and there she sat, happily munching on a bowl of sweet feed. But still she couldn’t get up on her own. I scratched my head and decided to let the Farmer solve the mystery.

Just then I heard the unmistakable sound of a newborn lamb. “Baaaaaaaa”, obviously, but it sounded like he was saying, “Hel-lo! I’m over here! Come see me!” And then another little wee voice joined him, in harmony. Twins.

I climbed into the pen and greeted the one little lamb with a mottled black face, compliments of our new Suffolk ram, Steve. I found the second lamb tucked under the feeder. This one was tinier than our house kitten, Sheila. Finally, I noticed a third lamb, in between his siblings in size. He had his head in the corner and he didn’t appear to be strong enough to stand. We had triplets.

I found the mother right away.

She was old, but very attentive.

She knickered in response to their bleating and nibbled on their woolly coats to dry them.

All three had been well looked after. Often when multiples are born, one or more will be temporarily deprived of oxygen, leaving them a bit stupid upon entry into this world. These poor creatures are regularly found rooting around in corners and under feeders, in a feeble attempt

Rideau Hill reopening stirs memories of summers past jp.antonacci@metroland.com

462933-16-11

Thousands of North Grenville residents, from tiny tots to silver-haired grandparents, have a special place in their heart for Rideau Hill Camp.

Even just hearing the name brings to mind happy memories of roasting marsh-

mallows around the campfire, paddling a canoe to the inviting shores of Baxter’s Beach, or dressing in funny costumes for a talent show skit.

Rideau Hill Camp opened 63 years ago.

During its lifetime, many new interests have been sparked by campers trying activities like archery, beach volleyball and even square dancing. The walls of the homey

camp, and the fact that campers build their self confidence by staying away from home, often for the first time.

While the programming is Christian in inspiration, Rideau Hill welcomes people of all faiths and backgrounds.

The camp also hosts special “family camps,� where parents, children and even grandparents stay together in cabins and get to know other families by participating in activities together. The program has grown tremendously in its first three years, Farrell said. “It’s wonderful to have the families. That’s why this year we went to an extra family camp (session),� she said.

This summer, Rideau Hill introduces a new director, Philip Craig, a University of Ottawa student from Kincardine, ON, who last year ran a special needs camp. Unlike most previous directors, Craig hasn’t risen through the ranks at Rideau Hill, and Farrell said the council is excited to have a new perspective on the scene.

The annual cleanup and open house on April 23 signals the opening of the camp, which is rented out to schools and other groups until the campers arrive in early July. Everyone is invited to come get the camp ready for summer, including students looking to complete volunteer hours.

The kickoff is always a special time, Farrell said. “On the cleanup day, we’ve had 80-year-olds coming back to help, and they rake the lawn or they do whatever they can. There’s such a strong connection,� she said.

Farrell didn’t hesitate when asked what keeps her coming back to Rideau Hill after all these years. “The family atmosphere.

When you go through the gates, and you’re in for the week of camp, the whole camp is a family. You literally block out the outside world. It’s just a wonderful feeling. And sure, you have the bickering that goes on in a family too,� she laughed. “But at the end of the session, everybody is sad to leave.�

The proof that the Rideau Hill experience makes an impression DON’T LET ACHES AND PAINS SLOW YOU DOWN on the campers is most clearly seen in times of need. “We’ve had quite a bit of need here lately, as all non-profits do,�

Farrell explained. “We’re trying to reinvent things as we go along here, THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE to keep it fresh. And people will all of a sudden come out of the wood• Headaches, migraines work when you start doing things like that.â€?

wood cabins have been privy to millions of whispered secrets shared between new friends long after lights out.

Most campers who spend any time in the serene setting – just 20 minutes outside of Kemptville along River Road, and yet a world away – leave smiling, but also a little sad that one of the best parts of their summer has come to an end.

Many campers return year after year, until school, work or other pursuits keep them away. Some latch on as counselors, glad to keep the magic alive and give back to the place that nurtured them as kids.

A select few make a bigger commitment and end up running the place.

Count Sheila Farrell in that last group.

Farrell’s mother was a camper during Rideau Hill’s first summer in 1948, and Sheila and her sister spent many years exploring the 18 acres of forest along the Rideau River, followed in turn by their daughters.

Farrell’s great niece has since become the fourth generation of her family to camp at Rideau Hill.

Once her camping days were through, Farrell worked as a cook for two summers, and then joined the volunteer executive council ten years ago. “Couldn’t leave the place,� she laughed. “It kind of gets in your blood.�

Rideau Hill Camp is accredited by the Ontario Camps Association and the United Church of Canada, which holds the land in trust. Four hundred campers aged 6 to 16 pass through the gates each summer, under the guidance of 15 to 20 local high school and postsecondary students hired on as counselors. Campers from Ottawa/Carleton, Kemptville, Winchester and points in between come for the summer sessions, which include leadership, sports and artsthemed weeks. Kids and parents alike comment on the fast friendships formed at the

If you want to spend time with your family, walk a few kilometers and help a good cause all at the same time, then get ready for the Hike for Hospice 2011 event on May 1.

The event kicks off at 1 p.m. rain or shine.

Across Canada, various Hospices are having hikes under the umbrella of the Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association. The Beth Donovan Hospice in North Grenville is hosting their own hike with all of the proceeds going back to the North Grenville community. “The hike will be a nice time to get outside with your kids,” said Marlene Quinton, the special, event coordinator for Beth Donovan Hospice.

The hike takes place at the Ferguson Forest Centre. The cost is $20 per person.

Children under 10 are free as long as they are with a participating adult.

The registration fee includes an event T-shirt, a barbecue, kid’s zone, entertainment and on-line donation and fundraising capabilities. There is also a great prize for the top fundraisers. Along with the registration fee, participants are encouraged to fill out a pledge sheet. They can walk as a team member or as an individual or family. The family friendly event includes a choice of three distances to walk at the picturesque forest centre.

Participants can chose from a 1, 3 and 5kilometer distance. Quinton explained that the hike is an opportunity for those who have been touched by Hospice to walk in memory of a loved one or in honour of a loved one. “This will be our first year and we will build on it for next year,”

said Quinton. Westerra Homes in Kemptville along with the Mount Zion Masonic Lodge 28, the Bayshore Home Health and the GlaxoSmithKline Foundation are sponsors for the event. “We are pleased to be the principal sponsor for the upcoming Beth Donovan Hospice “Hike for Hospice” on May 1.

We are expecting over 200 local supporters to join us on that day,” said Robert Noseworthy of Westerra Homes, adding, “And 100 per cent of the money raised here, stays in our community. So not only are we helping to raise money for our local Beth Donovan Hospice, we are raising awareness of the wonderful work that has been and is being accomplished by our local end-of-life care volunteers and staff. I hope that everyone can join us on May 1, so please log-in to “Events” on the Beth Donovan Hospice site and print off your pledge form.

Thank you in advance for supporting Hike for Hospice”. In 2010, Beth Donovan Hospice volunteers provided extraordinary care to over 80 local families in their time of critical need. “The care, compassion and support provided by these volunteers far exceeds what we could do,” explained Noseworthy.

The funds from the Hike for Hospice D. Headrick Photo will be used to create more Hospice programs in North Grenville. Apart from the The Kemptville Salvation Army held their volunteer appreciation dinner on Friday, April Hospice fundraising aspect, Quinton said 15. In this photo, Bob and Jane Collings share a fun moment at the dinner. Bob is a reguthat the day should be a lot of fun and a lar volunteer who gives the Salvation Army some of his time every Wednesday. healthy, simple way for people to get out and get some exercise.

The 2011 Paper Egg Campaign is underway.

Every spring, Easter Seals Ontario hosts their Paper Egg Campaign at local merchants in North Grenville. Diane Bartlett is a member of the Easter Seals volunteer district council and the person in charge of getting the 2011 Paper Easter Egg campaign off the ground.

The project began on March 31 and runs until April 24. The idea behind the paper eggs is simple and easy to take part in. When visiting your favourite store in Kemptville, you can buy a paper egg for $2.

“So far the response has been good,” said Bartlett. She pointed out that as long as businesses remember to mention the paper egg campaign to their customers at the cash, she expects to have good results.

There is an incentive for local merchants to enter into some friendly competition in selling the eggs. There are two baskets filled with goodies up for grabs for the

most eggs sold in a store that has one to three registers, and stores with four and more cashiers. The baskets are courtesy of Soy Candles, Kemptville Fabrics, H.A. Kidd and Easter Seals. At the provincial level the top cashier in Ontario who has sold the most paper eggs will receive $500.

The top ten provincial cashiers will each receive $100.

Over the past 11 years the campaign has raised more than $4 million across Ontario. Funds raised during the Paper Egg Campaign go towards funding of essential communication and mobility equipment such as wheelchairs, walkers, braces and communication devices, Easter Seals camps, and funding of recreational choices such as day camps, swimming and art classes. Money raised in your community helps kids in your community.

Kemptville merchants taking part in the campaign include B&H Your Community Grocer, Bank of Nova Scotia, The Bargain Shop, Canadian Tire, Giant Tiger, Jonsson’s Your Independent Grocer, Kemptville Fabrics, TSC Kemptville, Moose Mart and Walmart.

NORTH GRENVILLE GETS SUSTAINABLE The Municipal Centre was packed on Sunday afternoon for the North Grenville Sustainability Fair, co-chaired by Chris Turnbull and Clare Weissflog of Sustainable North Grenville. Beyond just an “eco fair,” Sunday’s exhibitors promoted sustainable living through food, transportation, home energy, waste reduction, and more. Pictured here are some of the many exhibitors. Clockwise from top left: Grace McKibbon and her mother Jennifer shop for bread from Denise Busby of the Old Town Kemptville Farmer’s Market.

Stephanie Meakin, science advisor with the Inuit Circumpolar Council Canada Office, spoke about the effect of climate change on the Innu population alongside her parkaclad daughter, Alex Kerr, and Annie Courtemanche. Samantha Rivet, a volunteer with the Waste Reduction Committee, shows residents a map of the 97 kilometre commute North Grenville’s trash takes to the landfill site in Moose Creek.

Eco-celebrities Taylor (left) and Peyton Horning of Merrickville brought samples of the hair booms used to clean up the BP oil spill.

A ROARING GOOD TIME

New Horizon Jug Band – a rhythm band formed and directed by Janet Glaves on banjo – stirred up the full house at the Burritt’s Rapids Community Hall last week. The New Horizon Club held their 11th annual variety show on Wednesday, April 13. The show featured music, comedy, singing and great entertainment for everyone. The master of ceremonies for the afternoon performance was Jim Knubley.

STAFF Did your garbage not get picked up last week, even though you put a new tag on the handle of the container, as you always do?

That might be the problem. Because of numerous complaints from residents about inconsistent waste collection, the municipality of North Grenville has started strictly enforcing the bag tag rules, which state that homeowners who use garbage containers must place the bag tag on the topmost bag inside the container, not on the container itself.

Many residents don’t read the fine print and stick the tag on the outside of the container, or wrap it around the handle. It had been common practice for collectors contracted to pick up garbage in North Grenville to overlook this mistake and empty the trash anyway. In that situation, collectors are supposed to remove the tags attached to the containers so they cannot be reused, but this does not always happen.

Two weeks ago, the municipality received an unknown number of complaints from residents angry that their neighbours were abusing the system by putting half a tag around the lid, or attaching the tag such that the collector had diffi-

culty removing it. These residents were therefore double dipping by making each tag pay for two or more weeks of garbage pickup.

In response to these complaints, the municipality advised collectors to follow the letter of the law and only empty those containers in which the top bag was tagged.

However, residents weren’t made aware of the change in advance of garbage day, and were confronted with a full garbage container at the end of their driveway when they got home. According to the municipality’s front desk staff, the uncollected containers prompted a new round of complaints from between 50 and 100 confused residents. The collectors attached an explanatory note to each uncollected can, but several residents who for years have dutifully put a new tag on their container each week were upset that the municipality didn’t give them any warning about its stricter enforcement of the bag tag fine print, since they now have to store their uncollected garbage for an extra week.

Despite this rough reception, the municipality hopes the issue has been clarified, and that in future all containers will have the tag on the topmost bag, not the container itself. Municipal staff could not be reached for further comment.

Jamaica who had never before overseen a project of this scope, landed in Kemptville six years ago and took it upon himself to transform Holy Cross.

While exploring his new church, Shim noticed some oddities that parishioners had gotten used to, for better or for worse, over the decades. Statuary and other “stuff” cluttered the side altars, and paintings and stained glass windows were obscured by brightly painted walls and stripes painted on the arches – nicknamed “caterpillars” by bemused parishioners – that busied the space and took the focus away from the tabernacle, where the communion wafers are kept.

The tabernacle itself had been moved off to the side, hiding the area that is in fact most important

in a Catholic church.

Inspired by their pastor’s fresh perspective on how their church could be changed for the better, parishioners instigated the “Come, Let’s Build” campaign, which to date has raised some $1.6 million for a five-phase project, of which renovating the interior of the church was the phase that made the biggest impact on the parish.

Not all parishioners saw the need for the renovation and some complained about the expense, but logic won out over emotion, and most came around.

“The noise from the silent majority was deafening,” said Allen MacEachern, past chair of the pastoral council.

The pastor said clarity was his guiding design principle.

“Really, the environment needs to be set to give praise and worship to God. And so the art and the design of (the church) needed to lead people into that environment,” he said.

“In the overall design, we said we wanted this to be elegant and simple. And I think that’s what we achieved.”

The altar was moved forward to bring the congregation closer to the mass, but also to allow those sitting in the 120 new temporary seats under the east archway a clear view.

Shim’s background as a chemical engineer helped him monitor the details and keep sight of the big picture.

In the Christian calendar, Easter is a time of rebirth and new life.

At Holy Cross Catholic Church in Kemptville, that sentiment has a special meaning this year.

On Friday night, some 600 worshippers crammed into the 122year-old Romanesque church on Clothier Street for their first time since the church closed for renovations four months ago.

Archbishop Brendan O’Brien of Kingston was due to arrive at 7 p.m. for the dedication of the church and rebuilt altar. But many people got to their pews over an hour early and sat spellbound, gawking at the many changes, including a glittering red ceiling above the reconfigured altar and revamped confessional. A new paint job replaced the previous blue pastel with a warm yet muted gold, which brought out

the original paintings, stained windows, and medallion icons. The assembly gathered under the protective gaze of Jesus, Mother Mary, and other statues that gleamed brightly after a thorough cleaning and restoration Father Andrew Shim, pastor at Holy Cross, watched the faces of the parishioners as he bustled about the church, fine-tuning the new lighting and sound system before the mass.

While many parishioners had agreed that changes were needed to the interior of their church, which had been hastily redone in response to church-wide reforms instigated by the Vatican in the 1960s, and untouched since, the church lacked a leader who could craft a vision that would not only repair the church structurally, but enhance its core function as a place of worship.

Custom stonework enhances your landscape Article submitted with thanks by PBM Environmental.

The PBM Environmental crew are ready to design and build your spectacular outdoor living space. nance costs, tools and equipment for cottage or camping are huge considerations in the reduction of your carbon footprint. As for the landscape project, stone requires less maintenance resources and it will not likely require replacement as will wood. If you choose natural stone over manufactured for all or part of your project there are even less production resources used.

Lastly, if you create your “Happy Place” at home it will not just be your destination on available weekends. It will be an outdoor living space you can relax in every day of your life. Enjoy…!

Among other crucial factors are subsoil characteristics, drainage and site conditions. Sub standard installation may not be evident for a number of years but will definitely be a factor in the life of the project.

The specifications included here are an example of general, minimum base and back fill requirements. Each site should be examined for conditions which require particular treatment.

From an environmental prospective the most obvious advantage to creating your utopia at home is energy use reduction. Less gas and no doubling of mainte-

Natural and/or Manufactured Stone has become a focal component of nearly all landscape designs and installation projects in recent years. People are moving toward the creation of tranquil garden environments around their homes. This trend seems to have at least partially replaced our desire to acquire a piece of cottage country. The reasons vary.

For some it has to do with the cost and having another property to maintain, others don’t like the ritual trip on Friday and Sunday evening. For most it comes down to simplifying an already complicated life. The desire is to have an inviting patio and garden space to relax and entertain in at home.

Down time is becoming more and more valuable to us.

The choice of manufactured or natural stone for steps, walkways, walls, porches or patios has naturally gotten more affordable with its rise in popularity. The cost differential between wood and stone is no longer. To prepare an entertaining area with a stone patio is very often in fact cheaper than a wood deck. Rising wood costs, and questions around the use of pressure treated wood are the main factors.

Consideration also needs to be given to the additional costs that are incurred with maintenance expenses over the life of a wood project. Maintenance costs for stone are virtually nonexistent over what will likely be a longer service life. If there ever is a failure with a stone patio, walkway or wall after twenty-five years plus the material will likely still be viable to use for repair.

The variety of size, shape, colour and texture in both natural and manufactured stone are more diverse than they have ever been. There are products available for virtually anyone’s taste or site needs. There are products out there to either match or compliment any style of house or effectively blend into existing landscapes. Even natural stone for the landscape is being mechanically cut for various applications. One example is square cut flagstone for patios and walkways. It is engineered to fit close together for a more formal look than the random flag we are all used to seeing. Ontario is rich with natural stone sources and also with manufacturers of interlocking stone.

Choices are endless.

The quality of base work, installation and attention to detail, as with a house or any other construction project, is paramount in assuring the longevity of stone work. Product applications, specifications and the intended use of the area must be considered.

Top tips to make a home green and sustainable (MS) – A well-planned, high performance home costs less to operate – and as importantly, high performance is the promise of premium resale value.

Sustainable components include energy-efficient heating, lighting, cooling and water systems, as well as the reduction of natural resources like wood.

Clip this checklist as a preliminary guide for both you and your builder: Location: Build for lifestyle convenience where you can walk, cycle, or take public transit.

Position: Consider north-south positioning to maximize use of the sun’s energy and heat.

Generate: Install solar panels and generator to offset public energy supply. Add a solar water heater.

Walls: Build with concrete. An award-winning wall system, advanced by Nudura, builds with pre-assembled forms, each one stacked, reinforced, and then

463118

filled with concrete. Once locked together (like Lego) the system creates a solid, monolithic concrete wall. This method (www. nudura.com) has shown to deliver energy savings of up to 70 percent and delivers a building envelope up to three times more sound resistant, four times more fire resistant, and nine times stronger.

Materials: Premium green

choices should include low- and zero-VOC (volatile organic compound) paints and sealants, plus high-performance windows, roofing and flooring.

Landscaping: Design your gardens for low use of water and pesticides. Plan with drought-resistant native plants, perennial groundcovers, plus flowers and shady canopy trees.

Major church renovations completed just in time for Easter season

With their church under construction, parishioners went to mass at Holy Cross school next door, which MacEachern called a “very good and healthy” experience.

“People had to set up and take down (chairs and equipment), so it was a great opportunity to meet people. Everybody pitched in,” he said.

Parishioners got the occasional glimpse of the refurbished church in pictures pub-

458356-16-11

lished in the bulletin, and anticipation was high for the big reveal.

When Bonnie Fortin first saw the renovated church from underneath one of the arched doorways, she burst into tears. She stood fixed on the spot, slowly taking in every detail of her new spiritual home. It took her a few minutes to even step foot in the building.

“I was just very anxious. Excited, really.

I’ve been on the ‘Come, Let’s Build’ campaign right from the very beginning, so I could hardly wait until they started doing the church,” Fortin said after the mass.

“We had a Lenten mission last week, and Fr. Courtney talked about joy. And he said the easy way to remember it is the J for Jesus, O for others, and Y for yourself – that Jesus comes first. When I walked into the church, I can honestly say I experienced true joy. I just felt like

the whole parish community participated in putting Jesus first.”

Fortin joined her husband, Todd, and son, Zack, in the choir on Friday. The whole family was blown away by the experience. “(The renovation) was the right thing to do, as the church had been let go for a long time,” said Todd. “Something needed to be done, and Father took it upon himself to do it now, because if he didn’t do it, it would be left for the next guy. So he said, I’ll take this on, and we’ll make it work. And he got people together in the parish who shared the vision and had the passion.”

Two former pastors from Holy Cross, brothers Lloyd and Don Cummings, joined Shim, Archbishop O’Brien, and a train of other priests processing down the main aisle past the former caterpillar arches, now a gleaming white.

“You can be very proud of what you’ve accomplished,” the delighted archbishop told the congregation. “We pray this building

will serve the community as a focus of faith for years to come.”

O’Brien dedicated the altar by installing a stone slab containing the relics of Saints Urban and Valerian, and spreading holy oil across the polished wooden surface. He later walked up and down the aisles, blessing the church and parishioners with incense.

The lights inched brighter and brighter throughout the night, until after the altar was dedicated and the choir burst into the hymn “Christ Be Our Light.” Then all the lights were turned up, and the parishioners saw the full beauty of their restored church.

After the service, Dermid O’Farrell, who co-chaired the fundraising committee with his wife, Donna Lee, thanked the parishioners who gave of their “time, treasures and talents.”

The thrilled congregation gave their pastor a standing ovation. Shim, in turn, complimented the craftsmen and artists in attendance. He singled out the work of main designer Andrea Belliveau of Ecclesiastical Refinishing Corp.

“The lesson I learned from all this is that the contractors and I aren’t in control. God is in control,” Shim told the crowd. “And we give thanks to him for this beautiful structure, and all those who come to pray here.”

Chorister Pat Maloney was born across the street from Holy Cross 81 years ago, and has spent much of his life in its pews. He called the church’s new look “magnificent,” and noted the connection between the donors who supported this latest project and the sacrifice of the original 100 families who spearheaded the church’s construction and are remembered by the many Celtic symbols on the walls.

“Every time I come to this building, I’m in awe. Mostly about how our ancestors did it, and how they accomplished what they set out to do,” Maloney said, adding that Friday’s unveiling was one of the greatest events he had witnessed in the church.

“I’m glad I lived long enough to see it.”

“It was right down to the last rock,” said the team’s coach Hélèna Thompson.

“Of special note was the kindness, compassion and respect the team exhibited for all the other students on the other teams. So much so, that all the teams they played against wanted to have their pictures taken with our team even though they had lost and long distance friendships have been established.”

When they were staying in Minden, the team was at a hotel that had a basketball court.

“They had fun with some of the other teams who were staying at the hotel.” Thompson said that one of the key values of the team was the idea of working together as a team. When an individual player had a poor shot or was discouraged Thompson would emphasize the importance of succeeding as a team not as an

individual member of the team. “The emphasis was on team building and they knew that they could win as a team,” said Thompson.

For these team members this was their one and only opportunity to take part in the Timbits championship.

They all go to school at St.

Michael High School, they are all good curlers in their own right and attending the same school helped them bond as a team.

Coach Thompson said the team had been good at practicing as much as they could before the championship.

All that work paid off.

With Pembroke leading the series 2-1, game four was held in Cornwall on Monday, Apr. 11. With 2,094 fans on hand at the Ed Lumley Arena, the teams exchanged first period goals. Jacob Laliberte, with assists from Youssef Kabbaj and Tyson Spink, drew first blood for the Colts. Replying for the Kings was Brandon Gagne from Tyler Tosunian and Ben Reinhardt.

The second period had each team score twice. Kabbaj put Cornwall ahead 2-1.

Cody Sarmiento set up the goal.

It didn’t take long for Pembroke to respond. Less than two minutes later, Matthew Peca notched a power play marker.

Peca scored his second of the night just three minutes after that to put the Kings ahead 3-2. Assisting on Peca’s goals were Milley, Tosunian, Just and Farrell.

Before the period ended, the Colts managed to tie it up on a goal from Tylor Spink with assists to Laliberte and Lavictoire. \The Colts won the third period by scoring three unanswered goals. Kevin Cole got the first one and Mitch Zion got the other two. Cornwall went on to tie the series at two by a margin of 6-3.

Game five had the action revert back to Pembroke on Wednesday, Apr. 13. 2111 fans witnessed the Kings holding a 20 lead after one and a 3-2 lead after two.

Four minutes into the third, Cornwall tied the game at three.

But Pembroke came storming back and

scored twice to take command with a 5-3 lead. Special teams would be the focus of this game. The Colts penalty killing was not up to par as the Kings scored four times on nine chances with the power play in this game.

Jacob Laliberte, Sean Blunden and Tyson Spink scored for Cornwall. For Pembroke, Jonathan Milley had two and Mitchell Gallant, Tyler Tosunian and Kyle Just notched singles.

With Pembroke one win away from their fifth consecutive Bogart Cup, the place to be on Thursday, Apr. 14 was in Cornwall.

The atmosphere was electric with over 2400 fans in attendance. A large number of Pembroke supporters made the trip, hoping to see their team victorious.

The Colts scored the only goal of the first frame when Tylor Spink beat Kings goalie, Francis Dupuis. In the second, Pembroke scored twice before the period was ten minutes old with markers from Matthew Peca and Kyle Just.

The celebration was short lived as Tyson Spink got the equalizer for Cornwall 28 seconds later. With less than a minute and half left in the period, Chris King gave Pembroke a 3-2 lead to take to the room at the second intermission.

The Colts season came down to how they played in the third period. Pembroke added to their lead when Ted Pletsch scored a short handed goal to make it 4-2.

Matthew Peca extended it to 5-2 before the halfway point of the period.

A sincere thank you to everyone who surprised us at the Royal Canadian Legion in Kemptville on April 9th. The occasion was the celebration of our 35th wedding anniversary (April 3, 1976).

It was amazing to see so many of our family and friends; to reminisce about those who are no longer with us and to rejoice in all that has happened in our lives together.

A special thank you to our children Matthew and Krynn, Sarah and Bryce, and Evan and to all who lent a helping hand (you were all very good at keeping it secret).

Thomas and Lynn Humphreys (on to the next milestone)
