Talk of jobs lost, created, and needed dominated the agenda at the Leeds and Grenville all-candidates meeting last Friday. Approximately 150 people filled the Municipal Centre theatre in North Grenville to hear candidates present their platforms during the two-hour meeting. Incumbent Conservative MP Gord Brown and returning Liberal challenger Marjory Loveys were joined by first-time candidates Matthew Gabriel of the NDP and Mary Slade of the Green Party. Brown offered his party’s economic record as the reason the Conservatives should
be reelected. “We have been a model and an inspiration to the world throughout the financial crisis,” he said, touting a work share program that created 280,000 jobs – including some in Leeds-Grenville – and his efforts to secure $1 million of infrastructure project funding for the region, including funds to build the new library in Kemptville. He said the government has made 120 tax cuts since 2006, saving Canadians $3,000, though he didn’t specify whether that was an average annual saving, or just for certain income brackets. Brown promoted the Conservative package of corporate tax cuts, the tax-free savings account, and split pensions for seniors.
He thinks a low corporate tax rate helps attract “advanced manufacturing” jobs to the region. “The last thing we want to do is raise taxes on job creators,” he said. Slade countered that the current corporate tax rate of 19 per cent is already below what is needed to keep Canada competitive. “The tax rates are only one of many factors,” said Loveys, who pushed for improved training, investment in research and development, and tax breaks in key economic sectors such as green technology as ways to stir economic growth. Despite lowering taxes, she said, “I don’t think the federal government has figured out how to stir job creation in small towns.” VOTERS see page 5

He said he wanted farmers to produce ethanol and bio diesel fuel. “Then you would have a stable revenue.” He said that what the country gets now is lots of money and then no money. “It’s the same thing over and over again. I want to go to Ottawa to change things. I want you to stand behind me.” NDP Candidate Mario Leclerc said, “This election is about which political party and leader you can trust to get results for you. The NDP platform presented by Jack Layton, the leader you can trust, is a practical, affordable plan to create good jobs, improve public health care, assist agriculture and rural communities, and make life fairer and more affordable for average Canadians now.”

try,” he said. Walsh believes that the current government does not have the population of Canada behind them. He felt that economically, the Conservatives were not doing the right thing for the country. “They are stealing from Peter to pay Paul.” “We have all been following the same pattern over and over. I want it to stop,” he said. “I want you to elect me so that a million people in Canada can have a voice. “I want to take money from the oil industry and polluters and give it to the farmers. Four years from now, what is going to happen if you elect a Conservative government, is that a liberal government will be elected. The last time the Conservative government had a balanced budget was with John A MacDonald.”

Around 100 voters attended the meeting and there was no end to the number of people who wanted to ask the candidates questions.

Leclerc went on to explain that if elected, he would focus on economic development and job creation in the riding. Bernadette Clement is the Liberal candidate for SD&SG. Clement explained that her experience as a lawyer working for legal aid has taught her compassion and her time spent as a member of various boards has taught her dedication. She said that the election was necessary. She then briefly outlined her platform. “My platform puts the family at the centre. We need to strengthen the Canada pension plan, and create a level playing field for farmers. We need a fresh approach,” she said. Incumbent Guy Lauzon said if we did not have organizations like the North Dundas Chamber of Commerce and the Dundas Federation of Agriculture, democracy would be poorer for it. He explained his government’s economic strategy. “Since 2006 we have been implementing a low tax plan,” he said “Stephen Harper’s steady economic leadership has led us through the world’s worst economic recession.” He said Canada’s economic action plan was working and that Canadians should be proud of it. “There is more to be done and our recovery is fragile,” he said. “We need a steady hand on the tiller to go forward. We need to create jobs and create a steady foundation for long-term economic growth.” He said a new Conservative government would reintroduce their budget. “We want to eliminate the deficit by 2014 by controlling spending and cutting waste,” he said. After the platforms were introduced, the audience had the chance to question the candidates. The first question asked of Guy Lauzon and Mario Leclerc was what they would do to cut government waste, and would the public service be in a danger of being cut back? Lauzon said, “I can put your fears to rest. You do not have to worry about the public service jobs. That is not where the waste is.” He added, “There is a lot of duplication.

Time to shape your world
As we as voters all watch the clock tick down to election day on May 2, we can be assured that all of the federal candidates are doing the same. All of those expensive experts and clever strategists have done what they can to position their guy or girl in what they feel is the perfect pre-election position. The rest of us probably feel a bit out of touch. Cheap shots, veiled threats and confused political advertising are all that voters have been given to navigate themselves to a good voting decision. The various all-candidate meetings in the area last week were a help, but they left many voters wanting more. Candidates felt that they could have used more time to explain their position and secure that vote. If the individual parties wanted to drive voters to distraction with annoying and meaningless campaign slogans, then they have succeeded. The inexperienced voter may have decided it was not worth their while to vote and that is a huge problem if the 2011 election is to mean anything at all. If you are indifferent to every Canadian’s obligation and duty to cast a vote, snap out of it and get focused. There are more than enough issues to ponder over and voters will have an
easier time than usual attaching themselves to one they like. Take your pick. You can vote for the candidate that you like the most or for the party they represent. You can make a short list of important issues and wade through campaign pamphlets matching up what you can with what you know is a real challenge. You can vote the way your grandparents always have, or you can flip a coin. The important action you must take is to vote. We have to let the government, regardless of its particular ideology, understand that voters are actually paying attention. Despite the importance of a federal election, the voter turnout is not automatically the best it can be. The one-on-one chat with candidates that voters need is not possible these days. A 30-second sound bite on the television may be the best we will get, but if you check out the campaign literature, sometimes you will find the tiny gem you need to tip your voting compass one direction or another. Take the remaining days before the election to learn a bit about what kind of government you want, and then vote for it. It’s not all that hard. As the voting cards say, “Shape your world.”

A nation in a frenzy, except for most of it In the space of three days we have an election and a royal wedding. Could it get any better than this? And was that a sarcastic question? Not really. There are people for whom a royal wedding is the biggest thing going. I have relatives who, back in 1981, listened to the Charles-Diana wedding on the radio. That’s serious. And there are people for whom a federal election is Christmas, Valentine’s Day and the opening of the duck hunting season all rolled into one. I may be one of those people, except for the duck hunting. Elections are exciting, full of surprises, with good things happening to people you like and bad things happening to people you don’t. And, unfortunately, vice versa. Plus, elections are good for you. Voting makes you a useful citizen, it’s easy to do and you feel virtuous afterwards. You may not be quite as useful to your country watching a royal wedding on TV, although you probably aren’t doing it any harm. The intriguing question is how many of you there really are. Because when you think of it this way, it’s not really all that relevant to us: two young people who don’t spend much of any time here and won’t have any influ-

In fact, there is no royal wedding fact too insignificant to make it into the media. Details of the guest list have been breathlessly revealed as if they were the latest revelations from Wikileaks. The CBC spent some of our valuable taxpayer money the other day looking up people called Middleton and asking them what they thought about that. Of course, the CBC also spent some of our money finding non-political people who were called Jack Layton or Elizabeth May, so there’s a journalistic consistency there. And, as anyone could have predicted,

there have been literally hundreds of stories about how Britain is in a state of anticipatory frenzy and how Canada is too. Lacking hard evidence one way or the other, you wonder whether this is a case of rerunning an old story well past its due date. I may travel in the wrong circles, but the only time I see anyone frenzied over the royal wedding is when I turn on the television hoping to find a CBC item about someone who has the same name as Sir Wilfrid Laurier. There are, to be sure, people who are frenzied about just about anything but the fact that one of them shows up on TV doesn’t say anything about the rest of us. It’s just a reliable old formula story, as stories about royalty always are. You interview the girl who gave the flower to the Queen. What did she say to you? She said “Thank you.” You interview the senior citizen who stood in line for three hours and wore her best hat. How thrilled were you? Did she wave? You don’t interview the people who ignored the whole thing, the bulk of the population, because indifference doesn’t make good television. Which brings us back to the election,

where, on the contrary, indifference does seem to make good television. You know this from the number of potential non-voters who are interviewed and tell the camera that the parties are not saying anything to them so they’re staying home on May 2. You want to say to them: “Suck it up, kid, and make the effort.” None of us are totally in love with a leader or a party either, but we go out and vote for one anyway, because it might make a difference. It fact, you could argue that it might make even more of a difference than someone getting married in England.

Voters grill LG candidates about election issues Continued from the front Gabriel, a union steward, called himself “a working candidate” who has not seen any trickle down effect from the corporate tax cuts to the average Leeds and Grenville workers. He bemoaned the loss of manufacturing jobs in the region, and pledged to fight to lower the small business tax rate from 11 to 9 per cent and provide employers a $4,000 tax credit per new employee to spur job creation. Loveys, a former aide to the Chretien government, highlighted her experience “getting things done in Ottawa.” She lambasted Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the Conservative party for displaying what she called “a pattern of secrecy and deceit,” charging that “Stephen Harper is making the wrong choice for Canada” with his focus on fighter jets, “megaprisons” and tax cuts. Gabriel, who is new to politics as of this election, admitted that he didn’t have the background of some of the other candidates. But he had a clear view of his role. “I think MP has lost its meaning – it has to stand for Member of Parliament, not Member of Party,” he said. “I am a representative, not a politician, and there is a difference.” To a question about the legitimacy of a minority government, Loveys gave a quick civics lesson, explaining the role of the Governor General in setting the parameters should the House not support the governing party. During the campaign, Harper has made it clear that he is seeking a majority and will not cooperate with other parties in a future minority setting. “If he has a minority government and he will not cooperate on a point of principle, quite frankly I don’t know where that leaves us,” Loveys said, to loud applause. “There’s obviously an issue of confidence in our government,” said Gabriel, who called the fact that the Conservative government fell after being found in contempt of Parliament, a first in the history of the British Commonwealth, “the elephant in the room.” “Coalition is not a dirty word,” added Slade, saying that the Conservatives are “a closed book to everyone.” “Was (Harper) elected to eliminate the long-form census? Was he elected to close prison farms? Was he elected to build megajails? No,” she said. Brown pointed out that the Conservatives would not have remained in power for eight years without cooperating with
other parties. “So there was cooperation,” he said, as several audience members jeered. The Conservative candidate then took on a more aggressive tone and raised the spectre of a coalition “led by Michael Ignatieff with Jack Layton and Gilles Duceppe pulling the strings,” a charge flatly ridiculed by the other candidates. The candidates tied ecofriendly development to the future economic health of the region. After a halting opening statement, Slade found her voice during the question and answer portion of the evening, drawing applause from several corners of the room for her call to action on the environment. “We cannot afford to wait for the Americans,” she said, referring to the effort to reduce carbon emissions and combat global warming. “The globe cannot wait. We can be leaders.” Brown called the new standards for ethanol content in gasoline – which he helped implement as chair of the Conservative renewable energy caucus – “real environmental action,” noting the cleanerburning fuel produced in the Johnston ethanol facility is the equivalent of taking 58,000 cars off the road. Slade characterized ethanol as “very problematic” and cited the recent crisis in Japan as proof of the potential for nuclear disaster, adding “we believe it is time to invest in 21st century technology.” Calling renewable resources “the greatest business opportunity in the world today,” Slade said the Green party would shift the billions of dollars currently spent on subsidies to the oil, coal and nuclear industries to wind, water and solar. A Liberal government would regulate the largest greenhouse gas emitters and “take a very good look” at curtailing existing subsidies to the oil and fossil fuel sectors, Loveys said, adding that Canada’s current inaction on the environment “guarantees we will be last” as the world shifts to a green economy. In response to an audience question suggesting that Harper has watered down the Environmental Assessment Act by evaluating the immediate footprint of proposed projects without properly appreciating the lasting ecological fallout, Brown said that some of the environmental assessments required by law “in many cases were onerous and unnecessary.” Slade charged the Conservatives with turning lakes into tailing ponds for mining operations. “We have wonderful sources of water, but we are not protecting that part of the environment at all,” she said to loud applause.
Gabriel boasted that famed environmentalist David Suzuki supported the NDP green platform, and pointed out that party leader Jack Layton has twice tried to table the Climate Change Accountability Act to commit Canada to reduce emissions, only to have the legislation quashed by the Conservative-heavy Senate. The Liberal candidate accused the government of “blatant disregard for the environment. When it’s easy to do, fine. If it’s inconvenient, it doesn’t get done,” she said. The regulations brought in by the Mulroney and Chretien governments were producing new technology and incentives for green business, Loveys said. “We basically were well on our way to making serious reductions in our emission.
When the Conservatives came in, they cut them all.” The Harper government has been criticized for closing most of the Status of Women Canada offices across the country, a point Gabriel seized on when asked about his party’s view on women’s issues. “We want to increase funding for women’s programs, which is kind of the opposite of what the Conservatives are doing right now,” Gabriel said, citing as proof that 40 per cent of NDP candidates were women, a much higher percentage than the other parties, and the highest percentage in Canadian political history, according to Equal Voice, an organization that advocates for gender equality in government. Brown countered that there were no cuts to the program but
that “the money moved around,” though Slade was more forceful in accusing the Conservatives of “defunding” programs and groups that support women. She decried the continued wage inequality that sees a Canadian woman make 30 per cent less than a man in the same job, noting that after accounting for inflation, women under 30 make less than they did 30 years ago. Loveys equated women’s equality with strengthened families and communities. “If 50 per cent of the population is disadvantaged, that’s not good for all of us,” she said. The Liberals would provide assistance for women in the workforce, seniors, and women caring for sick parents or children, she said. CANDIDATES see page 14

The Accidental Farmwife Diana Fisher
I decided to try something else. I went into the barn with the lambs and deposited two of them in the pen. I took the third one back outside as bait. The lamb’s cries summoned the mother, who suddenly charged at me, head butting my leg. Ow! I almost dropped the lamb. I backed up as fast as I could, tripping over muddy tractor ruts. Lulu charged me again. “Hey! I’m trying to help you!” She was intent on getting that lamb out of
my arms. Finally we were in the barn. I opened the gate, put the third lamb in the pen, and the other lambs started crying. Lulu heard them and ran toward their call. I shoved her fluffy butt into the pen with my boot and slammed the gate shut behind her. She grumbled and knickered at her lambs, touching each one on the top of the head with her nose, to count them. “One, two, three. Huey, Dewey and Louie. They’re all there, mama.” I set up the pen with hay, fresh water and a bowl of sweetfeed for the lactating ewe. It didn’t take her long to get used to the idea of being locked up. She had a nice, dry pen with room service. Sheep only have two teats so naturally you tend to worry when there are more than two lambs born. I went back outside a few hours later and all three were up and feeding. Their hips were rounded (if the tummy is empty their hips hollow out) and they seemed to be content.
I thought I should give them each 50mls of milk replacer anyway, just to top them up. I leaned over the gate and reached as far into the pen as I could. I couldn’t reach a lamb. They looked at me, sniffed my gloves, but stayed just out of reach. The ewe turned to look at me. She squared herself toward me, and backed up a couple steps. Uh-oh. I could sense another head butt coming on. I straightened up and looked at her. She stamped her foot in warning. Then I remembered the shepherd’s crook. I had seen the Farmer pick up lambs this way. I dipped the hook into the pen, wiggled it under a belly and scooped the lamb up. “Haha. Got your lamb,” I told mama. She grumbled at me, and pushed her nose through the gate to sniff at the bottle of milk I was feeding her young. Oh well, better an overprotective mother than one with no maternal instincts at all.

Mama Lulu was busy trying to coax her babes out from under the huge Belgian. Fearless, she repeatedly head butted Misty’s legs in an attempt to get the massive horse to move. As I approached, the horse and Donkey moved toward me and the sheep family was reunited. But I had to get them in the barn. First I scooped up the lambs – all three of them. Lulu started screaming at me. Then I started backing up toward the barn, and her job was to follow. Usually this technique works pretty well. But normally the curious horse is not there, getting in the way and blocking the ewe’s view of her lambs. Lulu scurried back to the spot where she had given birth. She ran around in circles, calling for her lambs. I pushed Misty out of the way and went back to Lulu. She saw the lambs in my arms, commented and followed me for a moment, then something distracted her and she ran back to the birthing spot again.

By his own admission, Bryson Masson has trouble trusting others. A tough upbringing left the 18-year-old wary of opening up to people, especially those he doesn’t know well. That’s why the Unite and Ignite Youth conference, which Masson attended earlier this month in Ottawa with four other youth from the Kemptville Youth Centre (KYC), is such a benefit for young people like him. The conference brought together more than three hundred youth in an open, supportive setting to discuss how to tackle issues like youth homelessness, suicide prevention, bullying, and substance abuse. Masson, who first attended the conference last year, was again blown away by the positive energy and inclusiveness of his fellow participants. “There’s nothing negative,” he said of the experience. “That’s pretty rare. Name one other spot with nothing negative.” Hearing from young people from across the country, including Aboriginal youth, opened his eyes to other realities. “It made me less quick to judge people,” he said. His discussion group looked at how to keep youth interested and engaging in small communities like North Grenville. “We talked a lot about stigma and stereotypes,” he said, pointing to adult perception of youth as one area in need of change. “When you walk into a place, you’re usually watched or constantly followed. Adults assume that youth are up to no good.” Each group drafted policy proposals for consideration by the chief public health officer. Masson’s group suggested creating a government-funded, youth-led pro-
gram focused on improving communication between youth and adults. To that end, later this month he and several other KYC members will make a short presentation to assemblies at North Grenville High School to suggest ways youth can better connect with adults. “The whole point is actually trying to make a difference, not just to say, ‘This is what we want to see.’ If you come up with an idea, you have to help lead it. That’s how I see things,” Masson said. That attitude is music to Lisa Davis’ ears. The KYC president was recently appointed chair of Youth Centres Canada, which organizes the annual conference with The Students Commission of Canada. Davis joins Kemptville Rotary president Jennifer Franssen on YCC’s board of directors. Davis said her goal as president will be to help youth centres “become sustainable and recognized as the first line of approach to the health of Canada youth.” Devising a way to evaluate the performance of each centre and tracking usage stats will help YCC determine how many youth across the country benefit from youth centres. She is pleased that the public health agency wanted to hear from youth directly. “I think more and more people are realizing how important youth input really is. Youth really understand the issues facing them. It’s easy for us as adults and ‘experts’ to say, ‘We known what that problem is and how it needs to be fixed.’ But if we’re not engaging youth in the process, then we’re losing something,” she said. She was also glad to hear the young people present mature, well-informed solutions. “Whereas the adults would go to the extremes and say, ‘This is the action we need to take,’ the youth would actually come in with very realistic, measurable goals and outcomes,” she said. “It’s very interesting. Youth maybe aren’t as radical as people think.” 0-

Veteran attendees of North Grenville’s annual Dandelion Festival are in for a few surprises this year. Festival coordinator Brent Kelaher announced several new features for this year, including an open-air Sunday morning church service on the main stage, followed by a gospel and bluegrass music festival. The Dandelion Grand Prix regional race runs through Oxford Mills, with plans to make the event a cup race in 2012, which will draw over 600 riders from Toronto to Montreal and the United States to North Grenville. Visitors exploring the pedestrian-friendly streets of Old Town Kemptville can stroll the church zone on Saturday and enjoy baked goodies and handcrafted artwork from local
church groups. Buskers and street performers will dazzle the senses at every turn. For the younger visitors, an expanded kid’s zone located outside the entrance to the new library will offer activities for every taste. Returning festival favourites include the Friday night youth performances, voyageur canoe rides, the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party, and a main stage street dance on Saturday night. To truly mark the start of summer, the Kemptville Farmers’ Market opens during the festival, along with the grand opening of the new library on Prescott Street. When it’s time for a rest, grab a special Dandelion-themed beer from Beau’s in the beer tent across from the main stage. Kelaher said the festival’s goal is to attract over 6,000 visitors from Barrhaven to Brockville

Continued from page 3 “I can assure you we back our men and women 100 per cent.” Liberal candidate Bernadette Clement assured voters that her party would support Canadian soldiers in every way as well. On the issue of protecting employees such as the ones at Nortel that found their pensions were never protected, Lauzon pointed out that pensions were a provincial issue. “We could make all of the federal legislation in the world and it would not resolve your issue with Nortel,” he replied to a person in the audience who felt the Conservative government should have done more to protect Nortel pensioners. Walsh said that the Nortel CEOs were taking millions out of the company and that the blame was theirs as well. On the subject of the possibility of a coalition government, Clement said, “Our leader has said no to a coalition. In politics, people have to be able to work together. That has not happened in this Conservative government.” Leclerc stated that the NDP’s goal was
not to end up with a coalition government. On farming concerns, Clement said, “We would come to the table with farmers.” Lauzon felt that his government’s record was a good one when it came to farming. All of the candidates said that they would protect the farm supply management and farm risk management concepts. There was a question about the challenges facing farmers when it comes to wetlands taking valuable farmland out of production. Clement said, “It is crucial that farms be successful. If they are losing money because of wetland issues we have to take a look at that.” Lyle Van Allen, former South Dundas J.

NEPEAN-CARLETON The riding of Nepean-Carleton covers the areas of Rideau, Goulbourn, Osgoode, Metcalfe, Manotick, Bells Corners, Greely, Barrhaven, Nepean and North Gower. Pierre Poilievre, the incumbent and Conservative candidate, has held the seat
since 2004. Before Poilievre, it was held by Liberal David Pratt for two terms. Poilievre is being challenged by Liberal Ryan Keon – son of Conservative senator Wilbert Keon – NDPer Ric Dagenais and Green Party member Jean-Luc Cooke.
Cooke focuses on making a difference Name: Jean-Luc Cooke Party: Green Nepean-Carleton Green candidate Jean-Luc Cooke wants to more than just be the first member of his party elected in a federal election. While, he said, earning that distinction is a legacy in itself, it isn’t enough for him. He said he wants to work with the other parties to make sure things are accomplished in a more efficient manner. “As a citizen and someone who’s engaged in the democratic process, I’m really frustrated with the level of animosity the different parties have for each other,” he said. “I think it’s getting in the way of government getting things done.” The Bells Corners resident first got involved in politics while at Carleton University where he sat on various governance councils while completing a degree in engineering in 2001. Cooke was hand-picked by former Green candidate Lori Gadzala to repre-
sent the party in the riding after she decided to step down following a third-place finish in the 2008 election. “My first reaction was denial, but that night going home from work, I could shake the idea and a couple days later I committed myself to becoming the candidate,” he said. “Since then I’ve been going to fairs, going to community events, meeting people, knocking on doors and building up my platform based on what I’ve been hearing from people.” Cooke said the tipping point for deciding to run was slow decline of entrepreneurship in Ottawa and across the country, culminating with the downfall of Nortel. He said he was astonished by the lack of response from the government, leaving people without pensions and “folks fighting cancer with long-term disability insurance that wasn’t insurance at all.” “It was just the whole way the thing was handled,” Cooke said. “I said, I need to step up here and speak for the smallbusiness owner, speak for the tech worker – people who work really hard.” As not only the founder of CertainKey
Inc. – an information security consultancy firm – and the party’s small-business critic, Cooke wants to see entrepreneurs thrive. “To me that’s very important,” he said. “It (small business) is truly the life-blood of the Canadian economy. Half of Canadians work in these small businesses and they do need our help.” Cooke said he also wants to ensure more lowering the cost of health care by taking preventive measures. Cooke believes an income-splitting idea should be implemented, where people would receive a payment to stay at home during the day on a part-time basis and care for seniors. This, he said, would avoid tying up beds in long-term care facilities for seniors who don’t really need them. “We need to find preventative ways to take care of other health so we don’t have too many people going into the healthcare system unnecessarily,” he said. “An ounce of prevention here is far less expensive than a pound of cure.” Other platforms for Cooke include the environment and increased fiscal prudence by the government.
Dagenais excited for fifth campaign Name: Ric Dagenais Party: NDP It’s easy to tell Ric Dagenais is an advocate. Whether it’s for the working poor, the homeless or those with mental health issues, he isn’t afraid to step in and offer a helping hand. “There has to be way to stop the revolving door of homelessness,” he said. That’s what he decided when he began volunteering with the Shepherds of Good Hope serving supper every Saturday a few years ago. That’s when he became involved with the Causeway Work Centre — whose mission is to provide a range of pre-employment, employment and educational programs and other supports to persons with mental illness and/or other disabilities, and those who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. But the beginning of the story really
starts with Dagenais’s work with the City of Ottawa for 32 years as an administrator. His work was in the department for water billing and meter reading. “I always took the motto that I should spend the departments money like I would my own and I never went wrong,” he said. “Our area always had lower costs than other areas of the city.” When Dagenais retired from the city at the age of 50, he entered the political realm after being nominated as treasurer of his local branch of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE). Then he was nominated to the board of the Ontario Municipal Employees Coordinating Committee (OMECC) — a body composed of CUPE locals of municipal employees. When the city amalgamated he was the chair of OMECC and he worked to amalgamate some of the CUPE locals. Then he got a job in research with the national arm of CUPE. “It was all in about six years I got involved with CUPE and then the NDP, I became president of the riding association where I live in Manotick when it was Ottawa Gloucester,” he said.
Before he ran for the first time, the riding had the lowest number of votes in the province. “I took it from 1,000 votes to 3,000,” he said. Since that first election, Dagenais has run in Ottawa-Vanier at the provincial level and is now running in NepeanCarleton on his fifth election campaign. “Everyone in the riding was getting a little older, so it all kind of started the same way, I was president of the riding association and am now a candidate,” he said. “I really enjoy running and in between elections I look for ways to become a better candidate.” He is a candidate for solutions and tries to solve problems like transportation without throwing money at it. “Transportation and gridlock are always issues in the riding and the solution has always been to build more roads, but we need to look at solutions like four day work week, telecommuting and staggered hours. It’s a way the government could really take a lead. Sometimes there isn’t just one solution to a problem and I am a great believer of the saying an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

Name: Ryan Keon Party: Liberal
The Liberal candidate for Nepean-Carleton joined the race because he decided to put his money where his mouth is. The 42-year-old father of two joined the Liberal party a few years ago because he was feeling disenchanted with the political process. “Rather than become disaffected, I decided to become involved,” he said. Keon, the son of heart surgeon and retired Conservative Senator Wilbert Keon, originally went to the Conservative party but didn’t find what he was looking for. “Then I joined the Liberal Party in 2009 after the coalition crisis resolved itself,” he said. Keon was nominated as the candidate in the riding in 2009. He was inspired by the dedication and work of Beryl Gaff-
ney, who was MP in the riding for two terms and now serves as co-chair on his campaign. “I was so impressed by her dedication,” Keon said. A long-time Ottawa lawyer, Keon believes he has a balanced approached when it comes to fiscal policy. “I believe government can be helpful to people in terms of social justice, but I don’t think you can help people if you’re doing it in a way you can’t afford,” he said. “There’s got to be a balance.” Even though Keon was nominated 18 months ago, it’s hardly been a waiting game for him. He has been out in the community and knocking on doors. “The nice thing about the long campaign is that we have had a chance to be in the Metcalfe Fair for the past two years, my kids really like being a part of that,” he said. Keon and his wife have deep-rooted ties to the community. He attended St. Pius X Catholic High School and his wife grew up near their Manotick home. “I think having the close ties to the community has helped me to understand
the urban-rural divide,” he said. Keon said he wants people in Canada’s rural areas and small towns to have the tools to succeed. “It’s all about families having the things they need, whether it is doctors or child care,” he said. Keon isn’t worried about running against incumbent Pierre Poilievre, who captured nearly 56 per cent of the vote in the last election. “It’s just more fun,” he said, adding that he isn’t asking people to trust him yet, just to give him the chance to earn their trust after he takes office. “I purposely walk up to the doors with my opponents sign and they seem a little embarrassed to talk to me, they say ‘well you know we won’t vote for you’ and I tell them that I will do my best and they can do their best and in the end we will be friends,” he said. Keon said he has made some great progress and feels that people are open to his message. “If I am elected, the thing I want to be remembered for is earning people’s trust and being their voice, if I can manage that I will be happy,” he said.
Poilievre working for results Name: Pierre Poilievre Party: Conservative Pierre Poilievre wants his message to be clear. He’s going to continue pushing to get results for Nepean-Carleton. The Conservative candidate has been the riding’s MP since narrowly defeating Liberal David Pratt in 2004 and hasn’t taken his position for granted for a second. “It’s been very rewarding to serve the people of Nepean-Carleton,” he said. “Every day is exciting.” Poilievre, 31, said he’s been interested in politics since his teens, where he then studied international relations at the University of Calgary. Since arriving in Ottawa to take a job on Parliament Hill nine years ago, Poilievre said his vision hasn’t changed. “I’m an energetic and outspoken parliamentarian who gets results for his
constituents,” he said. “I want to continue to get results for the community I live in.” In his past term, Poilievre said he’s most proud two things: Securing funding for the Strandherd-Armstrong bridge and the Fairness for Military Families Act, which was passed by the House of Commons last June. The bridge – which is currently being built over the Rideau River to connect Earl Armstrong Road and Prince of Wales Drive – should be complete by next year. Poilievre said the bridge will drastically cut down the amount of traffic in Manotick as well. The Fairness and Military Families Act bill was passed thanks to the efforts of Maj. Jim Duquette and his wife Anne. The Osgoode couple spearheaded the motion back in 2006, after Duquette was denied using his 36-week parental leave time after the birth of his first son, Jacob, because he was serving in Israel on a peacekeeping mission. Duquette returned home two weeks after the one-year cut off for deferment, so Poilievre pushed to get that cut off extended to two years. “The only exception that existed was for
prisoners who could defer their benefits until they got out of jail,” he said. “I thought that was really unfair.” As well, Poilievre mentioned his role in securing $1 million for Project s.t.e.p. as a major accomplishment. The project is the city’s response to addressing youth addiction and encourages those in need to get early counselling through an enhanced education and prevention approach in local high schools. Poilievre said that the project has helped 60 per cent of students either reduce or stop their drug use. “We’ve seen enormous success through that program,” he said. Looking forward, Poilievre said if elected, the Strandherd-Armstrong bridge would continue to be a priority, as well as doubling the Children’s Fitness Tax Credit to $500. The tax credit – which was the idea of Osgoode resident Anne Taylor – gives families a financial reprieve if they register their children in sports leagues. “I think it’s important to work hard and get results for the community,” he said. “That’s why people elect us: to get things done, so that’s what I do.”

Better cancer care, closer to home, when you need it
Nicolas Ruszkowski Nicolas Ruszkowski VP, Communications Ottawa Hospital Paula Doering - Senior Vice President, Clinical Programs, and Regional Vice-President, Cancer Care Ontario
I haven’t been a “hospital insider” long. When I joined the hospital in 2008, my health care learning curve was steep, and I was lucky to benefit from the help of many leaders. Among those I relied on most is Paula Doering, our Senior Vice President, Clinical Programs, and Regional Vice-President, Cancer Care Ontario. Paula is leading the transformation of our Cancer Program. Today, she’s your columnist, telling you what you need to know about the project. We’re enhancing the quality of cancer services in all parts of our region by adopting a new way to provide cancer care to patients who have completed their active treatment. Until now, patients were followed for many years by their oncologist(s) – either at The Ottawa Hospital or in one of our regional cancer clinics. Today, in keeping with best practices in other international and provincial cancer programs, patients will be referred back to their family doctors, when appropriate. We’ll provide patients and their family doctor with recommendations for their
ongoing monitoring and care. If at any time patients have questions or concerns about symptoms or their plan of care, they’ll be rapidly assessed by their oncologist at our cancer centre. Family physicians, too, will have the chance to consult oncologists when necessary. Some patients don’t have family doctors. We’ll now flag patients who are admitted to our program without a family doctor, and work to link them to a family doctor. What does this mean for patients or their families? The new strategy ensures that follow-up is provided through the family doctor who knows them best, while newly diagnosed patients benefit from faster access to oncologists, at the time of diagnosis and during active treatment. Our oncologists will still be front and centre in the follow-up care patients receive. We are developing tools to actively support patients and family doctors. This includes providing survivorship care plans that summarize the cancer care received and document the plan for follow-up care. It means strengthening partnerships and links with the community resources best positioned to meet the diverse needs of cancer survivors. Finally, it means improved access to quality cancer care across our region. Not only will we continue providing world class care in our cancer centres and clinics. We will also expand the use of telemedicine. No matter where they reside, patients will have access to the same high standard of care thanks to easy remote access to The Ottawa Hospital Cancer Program. We’re listening to our patients, and working towards better care, closer to home, when they need it. 464439

Conservation group plants four millionth tree J.P. ANTONACCI jp.antonacci@metroland.com
Residents living anywhere between the City of Ottawa and the South Frontenac Township (north of Kingston) can breathe a little easier thanks to the treeplanting efforts of the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA), which has been populating the watershed with trees of all types since 1983. There are 200,000 seedlings destined for the 200 km-long planting ground this spring. Among them is the four millionth tree the RCVA and its partners will have planted since the program began. “This major milestone of four million trees means we are smack dab in the middle of some very serious tree planting,”
said Dan Cooper, RVCA’s private land forestry manager. The conservation organization has raised $5 million toward tree planting thanks to support from governments, businesses, non-profits, and academic institutions. Cooper gives particular credit to “the many landowners who willingly offer their properties as planting sites throughout the valley.” The group’s reforestation efforts have reclaimed 4,500 acres of abandoned land, improving air quality and providing more natural habitat for wildlife. RVCA is already looking to next year’s crop. Rural landowners with at least one acre of land who are willing to plant a minimum of 500 trees can call the Landowner Resource Centre at 613-692-3571 or 1-800-267-3504 x 1128 or 1132 for more information and to arrange a site visit.
Stop in the name of the law

The OPP put a stop to would-be stop sign thieves in Kemptville earlier this month. On April 16, two males were observed stealing a stop sign at Colonnade Road. The suspects were driving a Chevrolet Cavalier and were seen heading southbound on Highway 416. Police stopped the vehicle on Highway
416 near Spencerville. The three male occupants were arrested, and a stop sign, an Ottawa street sign and an unsealed bottle of wine were located in the vehicle. Two 20-year-old Ottawa men were charged with engaging in prohibited activity on a premise. A third Ottawa man was charged with engaging in prohibited activity and driving a motor vehicle with an unsealed container of liquor.

Candidates shed light on issues Continued from page 5 On the state of the health care system, Brown said the Harper government has increased transfers to the provinces by 6 per cent annually. Those increases were the bare minimum required by law based on an agreement former Liberal Prime Minister Paul Martin struck with the provinces, Loveys retorted. Slade praised the health care system itself as “universal, portable and accessible,” and identified a need for a national drug plan to lower prescription medicine costs. Gabriel advocated improved health care to rural communities and seniors. Brown, whose private member’s bill did away with two and three-for-one pretrial custody credits for violent offenders, was unequivocal in his call for stiff mandatory sentences for serious crimes. “The opposition parties always talk tough when there’s an election, but there’s only one party that’s tough on crime,” he said. Loveys thinks government should be “smart on crime” through rehabilitation and crime prevention, and Slade derided the Conservative crime plan as resembling the Republican model that has proven to be ineffective and unaffordable. “We spend so much money taking care of the offenders, but we don’t spend enough time (supporting) the victims,” Gabriel added. The meeting had an unintentionally lighthearted moment when the other candidates reluctantly admitted that they agreed with Brown, who said immigrants

should continue to have to wait ten years to apply for Old Age Security benefits, instead of the three year wait time proposed in Bill C-428, a private members bill tabled by Liberal MP Ruby Dhalla. “There are many Canadians who’ve paid in all their life to their pension plans. They should be looked after first,” Brown said to applause. The contentious bill had its first reading in the House of Commons before the government fell. The surprise star of the meeting was Matthew Gabriel. Despite admitting that he wasn’t up to speed on all the legislation, the political rookie stole the show with his animated presentation and humorous working man patter. Slade was controlled and coherent throughout, clearly articulating the Green platform and winning vocal support from the crowd. Loveys stuck to her promise of civility with measured responses that tried to appeal to a broad spectrum of voters. But she couldn’t resist mockingly thanking the incumbent for planting questions “that were pretty much aimed right at my forehead.” The soft-spoken Brown took a few shots at the other parties, but mostly highlighted his record of bringing economic stimulus projects to Leeds and Grenville, adding a personal touch by mentioning the popular Hockey Night in Leeds and Grenville fundraisers he organizes for the United Way. Voters go to the polls on May 2.

Perkins Lumber in North Gower was started in 1936 by Howard Perkins. During the early years, they supplied wood for houses and barns being constructed in the area and soon became one of the main hardware and wood suppliers in the area. Eventually, they even made their own windows and doors right at the store in North Gower. Being community minded, Howard served on the local volunteer fire department and always helped out worthy causes. Howard’s traditions have continued since his death in 1982 with his son Lyle, and now grandson Mark keeping the business focused on providing the best products available for your building

Community
Community Living Month highlights group’s success J.P. ANTONACCI jp.antonacci@metroland.com
During her 25 years at Community Living North Grenville (CLNG), a group that inspires possibilities for people with intellectual disabilities, Kathy Botham has witnessed many success stories. There was the woman who came in for a few weeks of support, and then got a job at the Brigadoon, where she’s been gainfully employed for two decades. Others have found meaningful work with the OPP, at grocery stores and convenience stores, and as general labourers with the municipality, cleaning and beautifying the streets and parks of North Grenville. Helping people with intellectual disabilities find work has been an important part of Community Living North Grenville’s mandate since the group was founded in 1967 by a group of families and friends whose aim was to build a
community in which all citizens participated equally and with dignity. As CLNG’s residential supervisor, Botham also sees other kinds of success. The organization supports 28 people living in eight group homes, as well as many people who live with their families or in their own apartments. Support can range from regular home care to a phone call every few days to check in, depending on the need. Between the residential and employment services, CLNG currently helps more than 110 adults and children and their families share in all aspects of community living. More subtly, Botham sees success when people with intellectual disabilities establish themselves in their own homes and become fully accepted by their neighbours. She cites one case where a man that CLNG had helped get settled in his new house was asked by his neighbours to water their flowers and put out the garbage while they went on vacation. Some-
one who had received so much was now in the position to help others. “It’s a small thing, but it’s important,” Botham said. Just like anyone else, people with intellectual disabilities need opportunities before they can develop their skills. Botham is continually impressed by the talents displayed by those she works with. “We’ve got some amazing photographers,” she said, including one man who joined the North Grenville Photography Club and met a new circle of like-minded shutterbugs. Other people who have been helped by CLNG have discovered talents in music, writing, art, and crocheting, such as one woman who became a knitter with a church group and today stitches her knit squares into quilts that the group donates to CHEO. To raise awareness of the group and its efforts, CLNG presents its annual Community Living Month this May. After a

flag-raising at Rotary Park on May 1, the festivities will kick off with a Pancake Breakfast on May 4 from 8 to 10 a.m. at the Municipal Centre, featuring special guest and longtime CLNG supporter Max Keeping. The breakfast costs $5, and tickets will be available at the door. A CLNG team will take a turn on the big bike for the Heart and Stroke Foundation on May 13, and participate in the OPP torch run for Special Olympics at Kemptville Public School on May 16 at 1 p.m. Botham is proud of what the organization has accomplished over the years, and looks forward to the day when people with intellectual disabilities become “accepted in the community and part of the team, without support.” That, to her, would be the ultimate success.

CONSTABLE LINDSEY’S NEW RIDE OPP Constable Cathy Lindsey has a new ride. The Grenville County Community Services Officer is cruising around in a snazzy Ford Focus donated by the Dan Murphy Ford dealership in Manotick, represented here by owner Jonathon Donaldson and service advisor Lisa Kenny. The compact cruiser with the eye-catching OPP paint job replaces the aging white van that had transported Lindsey to schools and community events for many years.
When the first contract to build the new North Grenville Public Library was announced, library staff,wanted to make sure that local businesses had a chance to get some of the work. Kemptville’s Georgia Carpet was selected to do the floors of the new library. On top of the fine work they have done they also donated $5,000 to the library.

O’Farrell Financial Services Inc. donates to library JOSEPH MORIN joe.morin@metroland.com
Community support for the North Grenville Public library continues to thrill supporters. On Thursday, April 21, Dermid and Donna Lee O’Farrell and the team at O’Farrell Financial Services made a $75,000 donation to the new library. The donation is headed to the reception and information areas of the library. The working space is sponsored in the name of Dermid and Donna Lee O’Farrell and family.

The new library building has been named the Norenberg Building thanks to a donation from the Norenberg family on April 14. “Dermid and I, and our staff at O’Farrell Financial are very passionate about the new library and we are very happy to support it,” said Donna Lee in a press release. Donna Lee is the co-owner and operations manager of O’Farrell Financial Services Inc. Bill McElrea, the chair of the Room to Read campaign remembers how Dermid and Donna Lee sponsored the kick-off breakfast for the fundraising campaign in November 2008. “It has been a success story from the beginning.

lot garage sales to help one community group or another. The O’Farrells make their company boardroom available for community groups to meet and plan their events. The Friends of the Library is one such group who continue to use the boardroom to gather for meetings. “Our footprint is in the community, not just in the boardroom,” stated Dermid O’Farrell. He believes that being involved and helping his community is a way he and his family can give back to all of those who have supported them since they started up their company in 1997. Dermid and Donna Lee and their partners have also pledged $10,000 to the library to be used for the O’Farrell Financial Business, Finance and job searching collection area of the new library. Since 2009, they have fundraised more than $7,000 towards reaching that goal. McElrea said, when he spoke with the O’Farrell’s about making a significant donation to the library, they were passionate about the role the library would play in the North Grenville community. They wanted to help. The North Grenville Public Library is a $5.1 million project. The municipality was able to contribute one-third of the funds needed with the provincial and federal government adding their share. The Friends of the Library has pledged to raise $760,000 through a threeyear fundraising drive called the Room to read campaign. O’Farrell Financial now has four partners and continues to grow. They will be opening a second office in Brockville this June. The grand opening of the Norenberg Building is planned for May 28 at 2 p.m. during the 12th Annual Dandelion Festival. 454342-12-11

Pick-up subject to geographic and other restrictions. Š 2011 Enterprise Rent-A-Car. B05662 04/11 MM
The Pembroke Lumber Kings arrived in Terrebonne, Quebec, hoping to make a definitive hockey statement. Terrebonne is the home of the Cobras of the Quebec Junior â&#x20AC;&#x153;AAAâ&#x20AC;? Hockey League, who play in the Cite Du Sport. It is also the site of the 2011 Fred Page Cup, which will determine the eastern Canadian entry into the Royal Bank Cup, an annual tournament held to determine the Canadian Junior A champion. The Fred Page format features a three game round robin segment followed by a sudden death playoff. The team with the worst record after the round robin goes home and the team with best record gets a bye into the championship game. In game one, on Wednesday, Apr. 20, Pembroke played College Francais of Longueuil, the Quebec league champion. The Kings opened their quest for the Cup by scoring four times in the first, three more in the second and four again in the third. Longueuil only scored three in total. Pembroke got the victory with a score of 11-3. Matthew Peca and Mitchell Gallant each had a pair for the Kings while Will Seeber, Ben Reinhardt, Chris King, Kyle Just, Tyler Tosunian, Jonathan Mil-
ley and Maurice Alvarez each added singles. Just also had four assists which gave him a five point night. Gallant, Milley and Matthew Zay also had two assists apiece. Francis Dupuis, Pembrokeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goaltender, registered an assist as well. Matthew Peca was named MVP of the game. Hoping for more of the same, game two was played on Thursday, Apr. 21. This time, the opposition was provided by the Maritime league champion, Summerside Western Capitals. This time the Kings only had a 1-0 lead at the end of one but they came out hard in the second and scored six times while the Capitals only answered twice. In a penalty-filled period, three of the Kings goals came on the power play while two were shorthanded. In the third, Pembroke gave up a shorthanded goal. Summerside scored two others but Pembroke answered those. When the final buzzer went, the Kings had a 9-5 win. Peca continued his scoring rampage, tallying three goals and an assist while Milley notched two and one assist. Scoring one each were Stefan Salituro, Nathan Slydock, Lucas Gonu and Kyle Just. Tosunian and Just each had a pair of helpers. Jonathan Milley was selected as game MVP. KINGS see page 34

Kings heading to Alberta for RBC Cup From page 30 The Summerside Western Capitals feature a Kemptville connection. The starting goalie for the Capitals is Paul Dorsey. Dorsey is from Kanata and was a member of the 2007-08 73’s team before his call up to the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles of the QJMHL. Game three saw Pembroke take on the host Terrebonne Cobras on Friday, Apr. 22. By the end of the second, the Kings had given the Cobras a 4-1 lead. They tried valiantly to make a game of it in the third period, scoring four times to tie the game at 5 each. But with less than four minutes remaining Terrebonne scored what turned out to be the winning goal. Pembroke suffered its only loss of the round robin, 6-5. Matthew Zay scored twice and was named the game’s MVP. Peca, Milley and Salituro added the other Kings’ goals. With Summerside losing all three of its games, they were finished in the tournament and went home. With the other three teams having identical win-loss records, Pembroke earned the bye to the final based on the tiebreaking formula. Longueuil played Terrebonne in the
semi-final on Saturday, Apr. 23 and defeated them by a score of 3-1. They earned the right to play Pembroke in the final. Easter Sunday saw Pembroke and Longueuil do battle in the final game of the tournament. The Kings scored first when Kyle Just found the back of the net at the 4:36 mark. Longueuil was better prepared this time. They scored twice in a three minute span to take a 2-1 lead. But with one second left on the clock before the first intermission, Pembroke’s Brandon Gagne tied the game. Before the second frame was ten minutes old, the Kings scored three times to take a 5-2 lead. Tosunian, Peca and Milley were the goal scorers. Longueuil scored one before the end of the period but it turned out to be the last one they would get at this year’s tournament. Milley added one more for insurance in the third and Pembroke won the game by a 6-3 margin. Jonathan Milley was named the game’s MVP for the second time in four games. As the winners of the Fred Page Cup, Pembroke will travel to Camrose, Alberta, to compete in the RBC Cup from April 30 to May 8.
