Merrickville Goes Green hosts an eco fair to promote sustainable living and the local economy.
MOUNTIES SALUTE SOUTH MOUNTAIN A cold but hardy crowd braved drizzles and overcast skies to take in the RCMP Musical Ride at the South Mountain Fairgrounds on Sunday. The iconic Musical Ride features a troop of 32 horses and riders performing a variety of cavalry drills choreographed to music. The Ride travels the country and entertains tens of thousands of spectators every year while supporting community policing efforts and raising money for local charities.

PLAY TIME Students at Sainte-MargueriteBourgeoys school in Merrickville are enjoying two new play structures.

Time, and close to 68 cold Canadian winters, have had an effect on a street in downtown Kemptville. A cast iron water pipe, six to eight feet under Sanders Street, adjacent to the B&H Your Community Grocer parking lot,
split open Tuesday afternoon at around 3 p.m. Road crews were quick to patch the pipe and by the end of the day, Sanders Street had a nice new stretch of road where the leak was. On Wednesday, at around 11 a.m. when North Grenville Water Operator Jennifer McElroy checked out the repair work, a
second leak occurred along the same length of pipe, several meters south of the original break. The pavement had collapsed to a depth of two feet as water gushed out of the break. The cast iron pipe was most likely laid down 60 years ago. Pat Maloney, who served the town of Kemptville as a town councillor for 16 years was crossing
the street as municipal workers waited for the repair crews to arrive. He can remember when he was just 13 - years-old and it was 1943. He said that was the year that many of Kemptville’s downtown streets were fixed up with water pipes. Cast iron was the best choice for those times. BREAK see page 2

Jim Wilson another North Grenville Water Operator supervised the pipe repair. Willis Kerr was contracted out to do the work and the crew had seen this kind of break before. “This is the ninth break this season,” said Wilson. The speculation is that the pipe break, being at the entrance to the parking lot, has had more pressure put on it over the years as thousands of cars drive over it. There was no indication that the pipe was beginning to fail at other spots along Sanders Street. Wilson felt that this year, the number of water pipe breaks in the town were not any more than in other years. “This is typical. Some years are worse than others,” he said. The cast iron pipes naturally do not have the same flexibility as modern plastic pipes and when frost after frost has moved underground pipes up and down for half a century something is bound to happen.

Morin Photo/Advance Staff There is no indication that the Sanders Street in Kemptville, was closed for the day on Wednesday, May 11 as work crews pipe will experience any more repaired a broken water pipe. breaks. The work repairing the new leak was finished late Wednesday afternoon. The road had to be closed during the repair.

Enbridge Gas Distribution has formed a partnership with the Fire Marshall’s Public Fire Safety Council to reduce fire and carbon Monoxide deaths. The initiative is called Project Zero. The Kemptville Fire department will be at the May 24 North Grenville Council meeting to launch Project Zero. The project will see 170 combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarms delivered to North Grenville homes. The alarms will be distributed to homes in neighbourhoods where the number of residential fires and fire-related deaths and injuries have been higher than average. During 2010, 84 people died as a result of fires in Ontario and 75 of those deaths resulted from residential fires. It is the law in Ontario that every home must have a working smoke alarm on every story and outside all sleeping areas. The combination of smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, when properly installed and maintained, help provide the early warning that is needed to safely escape from a house fire or carbon monoxide exposure. The council meeting begins at 6:30 p.m.

“Have you planted your sunflowers yet?” asked Lloyd Strachan of Canadian Organic Growers, pictured here with fellow volunteers Jasmine (centre) and Suzanne Friedrich at the Merrickville Goes Green eco-fair last Saturday. Thanks to increased awareness of the dangers of pesticides, more young people are interested in organic gardening, Strachan said. J.P. Antonacci Photo/Advance Staff

Merrickville farmer Scott Kelland, who organized the Merrickville Goes Green eco-fair last Saturday at the Baldachin Inn, is worried about the future of our food. “People seem to think you get what you pay for, except for food,” said Kelland, who operates New Terra Farm with his wife, Suzie. “We don’t have a food problem, we have a food distribution problem. Merrickville is a village surrounded by agriculture, and it’s only last year we got a farmer’s market. (That’s because) we’re surrounded by agriculture, but not family farms,” he said. “Let’s be our own best customers. Twenty years ago, farming was by default organic. Why can’t we do it again?” Kelland has spent years working at all levels of government, and doesn’t see green issues on the radar. “That’s why I don’t think the answers will come from people at the official level,” he said. “They’ll come from here,” from local businesses and local farmers trying to turn Merrickville into a “transitional community” focused on sustainability and living locally. Eco-fair visitors learned about organic food and gardening, discovered Merrickville’s many walking trails, and chatted with businesses providing alternative energy heating and power solutions. Residents could submit green project ideas and sign up for community initiatives like an organic composting program or rain barrels. “They’re a very resourceful bunch, and they’re very keen,” said Merrickville resident Cathy Ivory. “This is the way you have to be – involved in the community.” After browsing the exhibits, about 80 people returned to the Baldachin for a keynote address from author and environmental activist Mike Nickerson, who urged listeners to put aside a lifestyle of overconsumption and “live lightly” instead. “We have to pay attention to the limits of our planet,” he said. “We’re fully responsible to the laws of na-

Community driven progress The Winchester District Memorial Hospital held its annual gala on the weekend. The Winchester community centre was all dressed up to accommodate a few hundred diners but also to frame the evening’s exciting Las Vegas style entertainment. Just like the evening the Kemptville District Hospital held its gala, every table was taken and support was overwhelming. Traveling down County Road 43 to Merrickville, the Sainte Marguerite Bourgeoys School opened up their two new play structures thanks to a year of fundraising by parents, the school and local business. Back in Winchester, at the community centre, Ottawa Senators hockey player Matt Carkner made an announcement about his plan to hold a new fundraising event for the Winchester hospital. It is called the Matt Carkner’s Carkinator Car and Moto Rally for WDMH. The spirit of giving was not about to run out of steam for the folks supporting the rural hospital that continues to grow and impress the Ontario hospital community. Whether it is a school play structure or a state of the art hospital, residents from North Dundas to Merrickville know where they want
their money spent. The interesting aspect of the community generosity at both ends of County Road 43 is that, while government does get asked a great deal about making a donation to one project or another, in the end, it is left up to parents, teachers, doctors, farmers and businesspeople to cover the cost of getting so many large and small projects completed. Many people have asked what is the reason why this part of Ontario especially North Grenville is growing. It is difficult to list all the factors of community growth especially during a time when across Canada and especially in Ontario funding for community projects is hard to come by. Once more residents are carrying the load of getting projects done and paying for as much of them as they can. It is not all about having the financial resources to support one cause or another. It is all about attitude. The people who show up to support local projects do so because the want the community they live in to be as good as it can be. They are customizing where they live and ensuring that the next group of people who will follow them will step into a better community. That kind of donation is priceless.

The Canadian quest: anything for 40 per cent off Musings about our national character go on all the time and are intensified during a federal election. What sort of people are Canadians? After the federal election, experts draw conclusions that might be correct, at least for a while. For example, we now learn that Quebecers are left-leaning federalists. Who knew? And what will they be four years from now? Meanwhile, somebody writes in the daily newspaper about being sick of the Group of Seven. Many Canadians thought the painters of the Group of Seven saw Canada in a typically Canadian way. Now others think not. We are not about jackpines and sloping rocks on Georgian Bay. At least, not any more. What are we about? It is difficult to keep track. Are we Starbucks or Tim Hortons, hockey or soccer, North American or British or multicultural? Are we still orderly and polite as opposed to raucous and freedom-loving? People used to think that, but they should have a look at some of the road rage around here. Particularly during the construction season. So, where to look for the national character? Well, it just so happens that the season for a splendid display of the Canadian identity is upon us. That would

be the season of the garage sale. Signs sprout on Saturday morning corners like maple bushes. Packs of vehicles creep around the early morning streets like contestants in the world’s slowest scavenger hunt. The reader of these signs, the inhabitants of these vehicles are Canadians, demonstrating one of their national characteristics — the love of a bargain. The bargain is found at the end of someone’s driveway. It is a totally unnecessary thing in many instances, perhaps a relative’s amateurish attempt at a Group of Seven scene, but much cheaper than you could buy it for anywhere else. So Canadians pay $3 for this thing, put it in the trunk and drive slowly off in search of another driveway with totally unnecessary things on display. Another vehicle immediately occupies the space

they vacated. This is a game we play every spring. For every Canadian who decides to donate his excess stuff to charity or school bazaars or church rummage sales, there is another who decides to sell it. In many cases the seller doesn’t need the money. And in many cases, the buyer either doesn’t need what is on sale or could afford to buy something new (thereby helping to keep the economy moving), but can’t resist a bargain. Let’s face it, getting stuff cheap is a hobby for many Canadians. You’ve met them. When you admire their new table, they tell you how they got it for 40-per-cent off. When they describe the trip they just took all they talk about is what a deal they got on the room and the souvenirs they bought at half-price. Here is a big part of our national identity: Canadians are frugal. Let’s say “frugal” rather than “cheap.” Our frugality means that we drive across town, burning up expensive gas, in search of the gas station where it is a fraction of a cent less expensive. Our frugality also means, unfortunately, that locally owned businesses perish in great numbers because multinationally owned businesses sell stuff cheaper and we can’t resist a bargain.

If you wanted to draw a public policy conclusion from this, you might conclude that Canadians, a frugal people, wouldn’t like to pay higher taxes even if the revenue from those taxes would finance high-quality programs. Except in Quebec. You might also conclude that Canadians would favour the creation of a government agency, Garage Sale Canada, to facilitate the spread of garage sales and create uniform standards for the pricing of slightly used light bulbs, exercise videotapes and three-legged lawn chairs. Granted, creating such an agency might marginally increase the size of government, but hey, our national character has to be worth something.

Special interest groups present arguments to council Dear Editor: This month’s North Grenville Community Newsletter is accusing Council of not respecting the wishes of residents regarding the Actons Corners schoolhouse sale. Another article in the Newsletter calls on residents to band together to fight the decision to sell. I have questions. Where were all these people when the financing decision was made to sell off surplus assets to help with the funding for the new North Grenville library? The decision to sell assets was made well over a year ago as was the bylaw put in place to cover the municipalities’ share of the new library. In supporting the new library I based my decision on the fact that the sale of these buildings would lower if not eliminate all together the need for the costs to be passed on to the taxpayer. Residents obviously supported those decisions as they reelected the same four councillors who made that decision. The decision is made, stick to it. Already, we have seen that the old fire station has been backed out of the decision to sell assets. The decision to sell was apparently reversed because of the cost of rerouting of the water/sewer piper. There is, I believe, no need to reroute these water/sewer pipes, all that is required is a municipal easement across the property so that they can be left as they are and the building sold with the proceeds going to the new youth center and library. Council needs to re examine their decision on this one. I accept that there are a small number of people in this community to whom heritage and historical information and arti-
facts are important. Good for them. Why don’t they fundraise, buy the building and then control it’s heritage. I have little if any interest in the past, it is the future that interests me. The future meaning the ability of people to pay their bills and not have to pay for others hobbies and interests. Members of the heritage and historical groups will be coming to Council to continue protests against the sale of this building, probably also the old Kemptville library and undoubtedly the old Oxford Mills town hall. It is Councils duty to look at the overall needs of the community not just special interest groups. There are controls in place to ensure that the old schoolhouse façade will be maintained as the building is developed into residential accommodation. I say fantastic that the building is going into private hands, which will preserve it without a cost to us, the taxpayers. As to council simply reacting to staff advice and reports nothing could be further from reality. Many, many times I have seen Council overturn staff reports when necessary but this is not a case where they should. The Municipality of North Grenville has excellent staff doing exactly what they are paid to do and that is to provide expert advice to Council. Perhaps residents should form a group to protest every special interest group decision that is made?
slept in the hay. He wasn’t there either. The next Sunday at dinner, I dreaded telling everyone that he had disappeared. I wondered what had happened to him. Maybe he got eaten by a coyote? “He’s so trusting, he would probably just walk right up to a coyote and try to play,” someone said. I worried that the neighbour’s dogs had eaten him. He was too small to be chased off the farm by another dominant male. This often happens with our older cats but not kittens. Maybe I had given him too many hot dogs, and he had a reaction to the overload of nitrates. Poor little thing. Anyway, whatever happened, he disappeared

Our winner was drawn at 11 a.m. on Friday, April 1 2011 and is Mary Spratt. We raised $300 for the Red Cross donation to Japan, and added another $250 for good measure, with a final total of $550 going to the Red Cross in Japan. This fundraiser was a huge success due to the hard work of our CAFP student members, as well as all of our participants who generously bought tickets! Thanks everyone for your support and hard work and once again, congratulations.
manage. That way, if I have to give him medication at some point, it will be easy. Or if someone wishes to adopt him, he will make a good pet. I noticed that Sheila has chosen him as her favourite wrestling partner. They spend hours rolling around the lawn together as one big fluffy ball of kitten. I still wonder what his story is – what made him disappear for a few months? Did he simply feel winter coming and head to the barn to nest? Only Hot Dog knows for sure, and he isn’t telling his secrets. I guess I have something to add to my grocery list, to welcome him back. A package of tasty hot dogs.

for a few months. One day a couple of medium-sized gray tabby cats showed up on the back porch. I can’t remember when that was. I keep looking through my photos trying to remember the first time I saw them. I know that one of these cats has always been wild and scared, while the other has been quite tame. Funny that I didn’t make the connection and realize that it was our dearly beloved Hot Dog. I guess that’s a sign that I have too many cats. I no longer recognize them. Now I am taking every opportunity to pet this lovable cat, so that he will remain tame and easy to

ily came over for dinner, people would comment on the fact that Hot Dog didn’t seem to be growing. He maintained his kitten size for months. Perhaps that is part of what endeared him to everyone. He even won the Farmer’s heart. One day when I came home from an outing, I found the Farmer sitting on the couch watching TV, with his faithful kitten tucked in beside his hip, sound asleep. At our annual farm party in August, one of our guests held Hot Dog on her lap for the entire evening. He just lay there calmly as about 50 people streamed in and out of the house, making all sorts of noise. He seemed to enjoy the activity. He wasn’t your typi-

We once had a little kitten we named Hot Dog. He was named this because of his penchant for bits of wieners that we would give him as a snack. All day long, Hot Dog would sit at the patio door and wait for it to open so he could dart in and run to the fridge. There he would sit until someone noticed him. Then he would roll on his back and do his “cute routine” until he was rewarded with a hot dog bit. He wasn’t very vocal – not like Sheila, our selfproclaimed house cat, who hollers a blue streak until she gets a small handful of cat treats. Hot Dog was a well-loved kitten. But he resisted being made a pet. He preferred to be outside. On Sundays, when fam-

Car rally latest fundraising event for WDMH
JOSEPH MORIN
joe.morin@metroland.com
The Winchester District Memorial Hospital Gala on Saturday night whisked attendees down to Las Vegas for a great evening of listening to Memories of The Rat Pack, a popular tribute band. These gifted musicians showered the packed Winchester community centre with a wide variety of classic songs sung by Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. and Dean Martin. The Gala evening was a perfect time and place to announce another interesting and fun fundraising event. Matt Carkner, the honourary chair of the Close to Home campaign and defenseman for the Ottawa Senators, was on stage to tell diners of the latest fundrais-
ing event. It is called Matt Carkner’s Carkinator Car and Moto Rally for WDMH. The veteran Senators player is very excited about the rally and how it will help out the hospital. Standing on the stage at the Gala as diners prepared to dig in, he said, “As many of you know, I grew up in Winchester and I know that health care close to home should never be taken for granted. I am honoured to be part of the Winchester Foundation Team and now I would like to invite you to put a team together for the Carkinator Car and Moto Rally.” The car rally will include a great drive all around the countryside. There will be pit stop challenges and a post-rally barbecue with entertainment, children’s games and lots of fun.
“We were brainstorming about what we could do for the hospital and we came up with the rally,” explained Carkner. “I think it will be a fun day for everyone.” Carkner has enlisted the help of teammate Jesse Winchester. Between the two of them, expect some great pit-stop matchups and many laughs along the way. The date of the rally is Saturday June 25. A June 6 early bird prize draw will be held for the teams who have registered and raised the minimum pledge of $500 by that date.

“Think globally, act locally” is the motto of many modern charities. Thanks to a teacher’s suggestion and some colourful bracelets, Grade 12 student Blair Lebeau found a way to put that idea into action at his high school and better the lives of Guatemalan students half a world away. For their final assignment, Lebeau and his Global Activism classmates at North Grenville District High School (NGDHS) organized fundraisers to support charities of their choice. Inspired by TV infomercials, Lebeau’s first thought was to hold a fundraiser for African children. “I’ve always been interested in helping children who can’t help themselves,” the 17-year-old explained. But program resource teacher Jan Brownridge gave him another idea. Brownridge, whose daughter teaches English in Guatemala, told Lebeau about the Guatemala Stove Project, a Perthbased charity founded in 1999 that helps build masonry cook stoves to replace the stone fire pits used by poor families living in isolated villages in Guatemala’s western highlands. These families cook indoors over open fires. The resulting smoke is trapped in their small, often unventilated huts, causing eye infections, respiratory problems and blindness, along with severe burns from the open flames. Ventilated cook stoves prevent illness and reduce the amount of firewood used by half, saving the region’s valuable forests. Lebeau was intrigued, so Brownridge put him in touch with Perth teacher Keith Walker, a liaison with the charity who regularly travels to Guatemala. Walker suggested the teen organize a project to support Los Ninos de la Escuela de Sam, a school for 35 poor rural children that the Stove Project opened in 2009. Donations from Lanark County schools created a nutrition program to provide vitaminrich food to the students last year, but additional funding was needed to keep the program alive. “I thought that was a really good idea, because at first I had wanted to do something with nutrition and helping children, so I branched off from the original Guatemala Stove Project to this side project,” Lebeau recalled. The energetic student went to work selling handmade Guatemalan bracelets
Walker had brought back from a previous trip. Before long, the vibrantly coloured bracelets began popping up on wrists around the school. Lebeau sold more than 160 bracelets at $2 each and raised $332, which is roughly one third of the cost of the nutrition program for one year. Lebeau tailored his sales pitch to his audience, sometimes focusing on the kids who would be helped, and going into more detail about the charity when talking with teachers, including a historical sketch of why the Mayan villagers remain disadvantaged after being pushed off arable land by Spanish conquerors centuries ago. The busy athlete told his teammates about the program’s nutritional benefits. “I explained to them how buying one of these (bracelets) will help someone who can’t feed themselves, who can’t just walk across the street and buy Capilano’s pizza,” he said. Lebeau was glad to support industry in Guatemala by reselling bracelets bought in rural markets. “I thought that was good, because buying them off (local producers) would help them, and selling them for a higher price in Canada would help them as well,” he said. This was the lifelong volunteer’s first crack at coordinating a project, something he quite enjoyed. “I’ve always wanted to help people,” he explained. “I think I’ve been pretty good at seeing that I’m very fortunate to living where I am and with what I have.” “I was really thrilled that Blair attacked this project with such vigour,” said Brownridge, who has toured remote villages where her daughter volunteers and can confirm that the support from the NGDHS community will be very gratefully received by the locals. “Guatemalans are very proud of their country, and they’re very welcoming. They have nothing, but they’re just the friendliest people,” she said. The Stove Project teaches the village families how to independently operate their new stoves, and uses local labourers to build and install them. “Everyone says that one person can do anything, but you never really think it. I was proud that I could actually help so many people,” Lebeau said. “I didn’t do it alone, by any means... It’s pretty amazing how a small school can help feed so many people for so long. It shows me that if you work hard, you can actually do something meaningful.”

Parents at Sainte-Marguerite-Bourgeoys school in Merrickville opened up two new play structures on May 12, 2011, much to the delight of their 159 students. Financing and erecting two play structures at any school is quite and accomplishment. The cost for the structures was around $55,000 and a year of fundraising by the school parent council along with generous community partnerships, drove the project to its goal. One of many supporters for the project was Sylvie and Steve Jonsson. They own Jonssons Independent Grocers in Kemtpville. Normally a project of this size would take five years to reach. The school, managed to reach their goal in just one year. Parents of students in Merrickville decided it was time to put up a play structure for their children at the school. Anouk Trembley is the presi-
dent of the school’s parent council and as it turned out, the president of the play structure sub- committee. “A year ago we planned to put in one play structure that would be shared by 150 students,� said Trembley. The students were from senior kindergarten to Grade 8. The first fundraising challenge was to ask Sylvie and Steve Jonsson if they would be willing to help the school out. The plan was to purchase $20,000 worth of pre-paid Loblaw cards from the Jonsson’s store. The school would get a reduced price of $19,000 and then the cards would be sold to students’ families. The fundraising campaign received another boost when Kym Chambers, owner of Hairdooz in Merrickville offered to sell more cards to her clients. By the time she was finished she had managed to sell $8,000 worth of cards. Between Jonssons Independent Grocers and Hairdooz, $6,500 was raised. “I have the best clients in the world,� said Chambers as she
Older children can play on a structure more suited to their age. watched hundreds of children play on the two play structures. “Busy kids are happy kids,� she said. As a local business person Chambers feels it is important to give back to her community whenever she can. The Jonssons are great community supporters. They were happy to support the school. “We are involved with many of the schools,� said Steve, “There have been a lot of cut-backs.� He said he was proud that so
many of his customers were willing to support the project. “The parents and our customers have created two wonderful play structures,â€? he said. He explained that the pre-paid card program was, “a corporate initiative for local ideas.â€? The principal of Sainte-Marguerite-Bourgeoys, Johanne BĂŠgin was thrilled with the project. “I feel relieved,â€? she said “It has been a long project.â€? The school contributed $8,000 to the plan paying for the structure installation but BĂŠgin believes the campaign committee and the parents deserve a great deal of credit. There was more support from the school’s community. “We organized the Francophone supper with a silent auction. We had over $6,000 in merchandise to auction off from businesses in Smith Falls, Merrickville, Kemptville and beyond. We raised $4,500,â€? said Trembley. The plans for the project were changed at the beginning of the school year. Parents, teachers and the committee realized they needed two different play
structures for two different age groups. One structure would be for children in Kindergarten to Grade 3. The second structure would be for Grades 4 to 8. The structures would be on opposite sides of the school. By taking advantage of the play structure company Jambette’s discount program, the parents saved $10,000. “We received a $3,000 gift card from The Home Depot Canada Foundation to buy materials,� said Trembley. The community generosity continued when it was time to install the two play structures. “Blair Harris excavated the play structure site. B&M Carriers delivered the gravel,� said Trembley. “Ben Poirier donated the gravel and Burnside Sand and Gravel donated certified play ground sand,� explained Trembley. During the final days of the installation Tony Humphrey from The Old and New Shoppe in Smiths Falls donated his time and services to move the sand to the playground.

Osgoode Township High School Relay for Life The fight against cancer may be never ending but the army of volunteers and fundraisers never take a break from doing what they can to knock cancer back. The students and teachers at the Osgoode Township High School held their sixth annual Relay for Life event on Friday evening, May 13 at the school. Organizers can remember when the idea of the 2011 version of the Relay for Life was brought up, there was a fear that there would not be enough volunteers to make it hap-
waiting to be picked up and used once the evening got under way. There was a tent pitched along the track where all of the survivors congregated and chatted while they waited for the relay to begin. The more than 40 cancer survivors sipped coffee and enjoyed the food in the tent while they talked, many for the first time to each other. Ron and Cathy Breau are from Greely. Ron is a brain cancer survivor. This will be his fourth year at the school’s Relay for Life. “I am grateful every day,” said Ron. “We walk one lap for every year ,” added Cathy. STUDENTS see page 11

pen. In the end, teachers and students rallied and the event went ahead. Despite a grey evening with a promise of light showers, 275 students along with school staff and volunteers took to the track field behind the high school. Organizers estimate that the night-long relay will bring in excess of $50,000. In the school’s previous five events, more than $213,000 has been raised for the Canadian Cancer Society. Students planned to walk around the track all night long. Tents began to spring up and the entertainment stage was loaded with musical instruments

Students energize Relay for Life
“I never gave up and did not let it get to me.” Ron Breau Ann Robinson from Metcalfe is another cancer survivor. This was her second time at the school’s Relay for Life event. “I get to see my daughter take part in this as well,” she said. Her daughter is a student at the high school. Robinson believes it is impor-
tant for the young students to realize they can make a difference. Courtney Heeney and Kaila Holmes are both Grade 10 students. This was their second time at the relay. “I get the chance to make a difference even as a teenager,” said Heeney. “Seeing everyone out here, we know there are people in our community that have survived,” added Holmes. One of the guest speakers at the relay was a teacher who used to work at the high school. She told the students how her grandfather died very quickly of cancer. “I came here because I wanted to help raise money to find a cure,” she said. She added, “This event is about a community that is fighting cancer.”

The couple can vividly remember when Ron was diagnosed with brain cancer. He had a seizure while sleeping. Cathy called 911. “They put him in a coma for 13 hours. They told us they would not know what was going to happen until he woke up,” explained Cathy. “I never gave up and did not let it get to me,” said Ron as he explained how he took on the challenge to get better. He attributes his success over cancer to the latest research and technical advances that have been made as a result of funding from such events as the Relay for Life. Geof Colley and Adeline Alkan are planning to get married at the end of May. They are both cancer survivors. Colley has beat cancer once
but his bride to be, has survived several bouts with cancer. “I came for the free shirt,” joked Alkan. She said the event was lots of fun especially for families and grandchildren. “It is very meaningful,” she said.

Hedge Cedars In Stock
Trees and Shrubs FOR SALE Alf Semenuk can still smile when talking about his business Pioneer Nursery on Van Buren Street in Kemptville. Pioneer celebrates 30 years of operation of which the last 25 years have been at their store near the edge of town. Alf moved to Kemptville in the fall of 1980 with his wife and newborn daughter. The job he moved here for ended sooner than expected and by Christmas he was unemployed. In the spring of 1981, Pioneer was formed offering landscaping services. The name refers to the tools Alf used at the time which were acquired at auction sales because that was all he could afford. With an old Chevy, one wheelbarrow, and a few tools, Pioneer would grow and soon expand. In 1985 Pioneer opened at the Kemptville Mall beside the grocery store, supplied with plants grown in Alf ’s back yard. 1990 saw their store open at the

current location with an old motel bought for building materials and then rebuilt as the store. Every building, greenhouse, and barn on the property has been recycled from somewhere. Pioneer even used wood that was cleared for new housing for another building. Since the first “Pioneer crop” of broccoli there has been annual mid-January plantings ever since with many of the grown products being sold through B&H Your Community Grocer – the B&H is committed to supplying fresh local products where possible for sale. Some of the crops are sent to the Market in Ottawa to supply a couple of vendors. One mention should be made about the quality of plants available at Pioneer – many of the plants are grown in the greenhouses from seed and all plants are maintained while being offered for sale so you know you are getting plants that are not put out for sale and then forgotten.

like Toronto, but closing roads in a large urban venue creates hassles for organizers. North Grenville, with its quiet, jp.antonacci@metroland.com safe streets, is “exactly the type of venue (the OCA) wants,” When Ryan Phelps thinks about the future of the Phelps said. Grand Prix, the cycling competition returning this This year’s Grand Prix will offer 14 different classes – last year to the Dandelion Festival on May 28, his mind races faster than the wheels on his road bike. “Right now, the Grand Prix is part of the Dandelion Festival. In a few years, I could see the Dandelion Festival being part of the Grand Prix,” said Phelps, a festival director who is coordinating the race. A bicycle race in a rural area might not seem like a logical fit, but last year 160 riders ponied up $10,000 in registration fees to wind through the picturesque streets of Oxford Mills. The Grand Prix was completely self-sustaining, and part of the proceeds went to the Kemptville Youth Centre. “We had more money in the bank at the end of the year than the whole Dandelion Festival combined,” Phelps said proudly. “We’re trying to build this event into something that’s going to make a large economic impact on the community.” Now that the Grand Prix has been officially designated a regional race by the Ontario Cycling Association – which means that competitive riders can earn “upgrade points” needed to advance in the standings – Phelps expects interest to skyrocket, to the tune of almost twice as many riders this year. In fact, helped by a $2,000 purse, out of town cyclists are already calling to register. Some of Canada’s best cyclists are expected to take part in the marquee event, the elite men’s 136 km race that will start at 12:45 p.m. Bicycle races traditionally take place in big cities

Interested riders can visit ontariocycling.org or thedandelionfestival.ca/grand_prix.html to learn more. From page 15 “It’s one of the biggest (races) on the Ontario circuit, and it’s only our second year,” Phelps said. All riders in a competitive race must be licensed, and day licenses will be available for sale. Phelps says riders should have some pack riding experience before attempting the Grand Prix, because of the potential for injury when riding in a large group. In the future, Phelps envisions the Grand Prix becoming a cup race that will draw upwards of 600 riders and many more spectators.
“There would be nothing in Canada like it,” he said excitedly, describing a multiple day “stage race” that would feature time trials, beer tents, and night races under the streetlights. Phelps, a skilled cyclist who has had angry motorists try to drive him off rural roads, admits that not everybody is a fan of the sport. But he hopes homeowners who live along the race route will take advantage of their front row seats. “I would love to see guys dragging their couch onto the front lawn with a case of beer and heckling the riders all day. That would be awesome,” he said.
Sports Two Grade 8 wrestlers from St. Michael Catholic High School had an impressive showing at the Eastern Canadian Championship for elementary school
wrestlers in Renfrew from May 6-8. In his first appearance at this tournament, Zach Vallincourt placed second in his weight category. Six months of wrestling practice clearly paid off for the
young grappler, who handily dispatched opponents from New Brunswick, PEI and Quebec in exhibition matches. Gareth Kaczkowski won his fourth consecutive gold medal in his fourth appearance at
the national championships, a dominant streak that stretches over four weight categories and age groups. Kaczkowski suffered just one defeat all season, to a national champion Grade 10 wrestler.

He’ll bring his charms to gladden you, and - (Should his stay be brief) You’ll have his lovely memories, as a solace for your grief. I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return; But the lessons taught below, I want this child to learn.
