Monday’s Committee of the Whole meeting was much more crowded than usual, as about 50 residents of the Glengables Village subdivision off of County Road 43 came to voice their displeasure at council’s plan to sell five lots of green space on their subdivision for cash to fund work on tennis courts in Riverside Park in Kemptville. Selling green space to developers for “cash in lieu,” and putting the proceeds towards recreation projects elsewhere in North Grenville, is standard practice for the municipality.
But the residents are angry that the municipality would even think of selling the only park space for the 600 Glengables residents and their neighbours at the new Stone Haven development, whose green space has already been sold by council. They are also upset that after paying a premium to developers for homes near green space, they are going to lose their potential parkland without being properly informed or consulted by municipal staff. At issue, is a parcel of land between Tamarack Circle and Hickory Drive, surrounded by 150 homes. North Grenville’s planning committee recommended selling most of
the land to put up a four or five home cul-de-sac accessed by a common driveway, leaving only one of the lots for parkland. The residents say this isn’t what they signed up for. Each of the 61 residents who participated in an email survey about the green space opposed further development. “We are asking that the green space that was part of the original subdivision plan be developed as a place for children to play and adults to mingle. A community gathering space is essential for the social growth and development of our children and a beneficial asset to our community,” said Sean Teed, who spoke to council on behalf
of “a considerable number” of Glengables families, including grandparents, young parents and many young children who quietly sat through Monday’s meeting. Councillors pointed out that the sale of the green space was already budgeted for. “We can’t do for one subdivision what we can’t do for another,” said Coun. Barb Tobin, who wanted to hear from the residents who weren’t part of the email survey. Those in attendance lambasted the plan to leave two busy subdivisions with such a small park.

lost a pet and many just disappear never to be seen again. In the Kemptville area, there have been at least 15 large dogs who have disappeared over the past few months. There is the possibly that the missing Great Dane had been shot by a farmer but the large animal is too distinctive to be mistaken by a
farmer for a wolf or Coyote. Remington did not have any identification since he was not expected to have been able to leave the home. The lack of identification was something that bothered Erika. She said that if he had had identification of some kind he would

Anyone who loves their canine companion can imagine how any family can gradually become discouraged about ever being reconnected with a lost pet, but Erika and Jim never gave up. Ericka says she had a strategy all worked out. It was very simple but required a great deal of work. “I put flyers everywhere. I had a lot of help,� she said. “Then I emailed his picture to every humane society and rescue organization I could find.� She also put Remington’s picture and her plea for help up on her face-book page. “There are a lot of really nice people out there who forwarded the information to their friends,� explained McNevin. Despite all of the flyers and uploading of information to the internet and different organizations, she was not having much luck. McNevin is the manager of the Pet Valu store in Kemptville. She hears from lots of people who have

Not every lost dog story has a happy ending. But this one does. Last week, on Thursday May 12, Erika McNevin from Oxford Mills, drove down to Bellville to be be reunited with her lost family dog named Remington. Remington had been missing from the family’s home since the end of February. How he managed to end up in Bellville is a story that will most likely never be told. Ericka along with husband Jim Devries and children Katya and Sierra have been desperatly looking for Remington for the past three months. A family in Bellville purchased a dog online from kijiji. A friend of the family had seen one of the posters for Remington and mentioned the possibility that their new dog may be Remington. The family
contacted McNevin. It turned out that the dog was indeed the lost Remington. “I was in shock,� remembers McNevin. “I really hadn’t expected to be able to find him after all this time,� she said. The family loves farm animals, like chickens and horses and cows. They have few around their home. Part of their extended family includes two toy poodles, Parker and Holly and their two-year old Great Dane Remington. Three months ago, Remington went missing. He was in the family’s home, the doors were closed but still, he was able to get out and disappear. “He normally stays in the house when we are not home,� said McNevin. “There could have been a door that did not completely close.� Despite Remington being in the house and a fenced in yard to contend with, he appeared to have vanished.

The changing face of Old Town Kemptville After a decade of fundraising, political debate and angst, the North Grenville Public Library is just about ready to open. Construction workers are erecting new light standards outside the front of the library, now named the Norenberg Building. Water Street has been closed off for the past year and work crews are beginning to pave the street in preparation of opening day on May 28. The Norenberg Building looks as if it has always been there. It is hard to remember the municipal parking lot, or the lackluster location on Prescott Street that now has purpose and a sense of direction. All in all, even those who were critical of the idea of a new library will be pleased when they walk into the spacious, modern and comfortable space that is their new library. Just like the idea of amalgamation, library supporters from outside of Kemptville may be concerned about how a centralized library will affect them. Ultimately, they will become comfortable with notion. The arrival of the library is a big moment
for North Grenville and Kemptville. The library, in many ways, is similar to the completion of the North Grenville Municipal Centre. All of a sudden, hockey players from Ottawa were finding the same creature comforts in the ice pads in Kemptville as they are used to in the big city. The same can be said of people who are moving to Kemptville from Ottawa. They find their familiar Walmart and Canadian Tire store as well as new schools, renovated churches and with any luck renovated tennis courts. Add to that a brand new pubic library and you have quite a recipe for a healthy growing community. The Kemptville District Hospital is making its own new plans to blossom once again as North Grenville grows. Residents in Kemptville will remember all of the growth that took place in their town in just a few short years. In time, the changes they have lived through will become part of history. After May 28, families will be able to read about it at their public library.
COLUMN
Why you don’t throw your column into the ring My former Ottawa Citizen colleague Randall Denley has decided to abandon his newspaper column at least temporarily and run for the Conservatives in the next Ontario election. His opponent, the Liberal incumbent Bob Chiarelli, will be all but drooling as he sees a chance at revenge for the nasty things Denley has written about him over the years, beginning when Chiarelli was mayor of Ottawa. That’s one of the differences between columning and politics. In politics, your opponents can get revenge. In journalism, your opponents can issue a denial, or write a letter to the editor, both of which are less than satisfying. There are other differences, which help to explain why most columnists choose to remain columnists rather than enter politics: — A columnist does not have to smile all the time, or ever. — A columnist does not have to attend ribbon-cuttings and banquets in honour of causes he has never heard of. — A columnist finishes the day’s column and goes home. A politician goes on to the next event. — A columnist rarely turns on the TV to find someone denouncing him on the news.
CHARLES GORDON Funny Town — When a columnist is not interested in the burning issue of the day, he writes about something else, such as cats. When a politician is not interested in the burning issue of the day, he has to be interested in the burning issue of the day anyway. — A columnist does not have to pose wearing silly hats. — A politician’s enemies scour his previous speeches for embarrassing utterances or signs of flip-flop. A columnist’s previous utterances are safely wrapping fish. — Unless he chooses to write about them, nobody knows anything about a columnist’s family, hobbies or religious views. For a politician, all those things are on public display. — On a good newspaper, a columnist can publicly disagree with the policies

of his bosses. Try that in any party caucus. — A columnist is allowed to have a sense of humour. Politicians who make jokes are immediatley denounced by representatives of interest groups who are offended. There are, to be sure, some similarities in the two occupations. A columnist can dust off an old column on a slow day, and a politician can trot out an old speech. A politician can invent and demolish straw men. So can a columnist. Both politician and columnist develop the art of feigned outrage. Denley said an honourable thing in announcing his candidacy: “As a newspaper columnist you can say: ‘Other people should do this, other people should do that.’ You can’t really do anything yourself. If you’re going to make a difference, you have to get involved in the process.” Some columnists would disagree, saying that they are contributing to the process by influencing public opinion. But it is true that it takes far more courage to become actively involved than it does to stand on the sidelines making pungent comments. Other columnists have made the decision Denley has made. It worked for

CONTINUED from the front “To sell that land off and give us a little patch in the corner to enhance tennis courts we’re not going to go to is just absurd,” said one resident, who was close to tears. “We’re looking for what is going to work for the subdivision, so if we have to change the plan a bit, we can do that,” replied Coun. Tim Sutton. Several residents wondered who would refund the premium they paid to developers to live next to green space, and others spoke of the enjoyment that get from having deer and wild turkeys stroll by their properties, and watching porcupines sleep in the trees. Ten-year-old Robbie Leach told council the children in the subdivision needed “a bigger place” to play and meet new friends. “We want fresh air and we want to play together, to be a big community,” he said to applause. Along with the loss of the green space, residents were upset that they were shut out of the decision-making process. “There’s been no communication to the whole community, not the way it should be. I think so
far it’s a complete disaster,” said one man. At a public meeting on the issue in April, planning director Forbes Symon had promised to survey the residents by the end of April, but he admitted those efforts had stalled. Symon committed to have the survey ready by the end of May, with responses back in June. Residents pointed out that many of the houses are not yet on the tax roll, which is what the municipality uses to send out the surveys. They offered to canvas the subdivision and collect a complete list for the municipality, an offer Symon accepted. Teed said a park would fit North Grenville’s “green and growing” plan, and quoted Mayor David Gordon as expressing support for green space so that North Grenville does not become another Barrhaven. Teed pledged a willingness to work with the municipality to come up with a solution, but made the residents’ position quite clear. “We have every expectation that work on our park will be completed this summer” with no corresponding increase in taxes, he said.
Now that I am working from my home office, I can take my coffee break in front of the TV once in a while. Last week I caught some advice on how to fool your body into thinking you are 20 years younger. Now, I wouldn’t want to be 23 again for anything. But I do like to learn about healthy living. So I took notes. And planned to try the tips out on my unsuspecting husband. Apparently we are supposed to do 4 daily things to slow down the aging process. Number 1: Cleanse your skin. That’s a no-brainer for me. I’ve been doing that for years, because I love the feeling of freshly-washed, toned and moisturized skin. However, if you go anywhere near the Farmer with a lotion or potion, he runs screaming. I think we’re going to have to skip this one for him. I will try to spray some sunscreen on him before he heads out for a day of fishing. Number 2: Get 8 hours of sleep per night. This should be a pretty easy one for us. We are usually in bed by 10 and up by 630 or so. On weekends, that whole thing moves back a couple of hours, but we are still
The Accidental Farmwife Diana Fisher pretty good about sleep time. The problem is we don’t always get quality sleep, because the Farmer occasionally gets restless leg syndrome. He jiggles and shakes in his sleep, making it a rough night for both of us. Someone once told me an old wives’ tale that this old wife might eventually try: slip a bar of soap under the blanket at the foot of the bed to get him to stop wiggling. Will Lever 2000 do? Number 3: Exercise a total of 300 minutes per week, minimum. Or 5 hours. That’s an hour a day if we allow two days
off a week. Not gonna happen. I’m wondering if I got the number wrong. We’re too exhausted after our farm chores to do any exercise. I do yoga in the morning, but that’s just to get the kinks out. We recently received pedometers, so we can count how many steps we take around the farm all day, but neither one of us can get through an hour without accidentally resetting the darn thing. Here’s hoping our hay pitching and manure forking is enough to get us into shape. Number 4: Eat more of these three things: eggplant, sweet potatoes, and blueberries. I didn’t hear the disclaimer, where you aren’t supposed to serve all three of these in one meal. I made Greek moussaka (sort of an eggplant lasagna), sweet potato home fries and blueberries for dessert. No, they don’t exactly go together. I’m not a very intuitive cook, but you won’t starve in my house. The Farmer was wondering why there was no meat involved in his meal. After dinner, he looked at the dog and said, “the next time you see her going for the television, hide the remote.”

If a student with an intellectual disability is lucky enough to land in a good special education program – one that offers hands-on teachers, understanding peers, and most importantly, lots to do – high school can be a wonderful time. Patrick Brauneisen had such an experience at St.
Michael Catholic High School in Kemptville. With help from his caring teachers, Patrick, who was diagnosed at birth with Mosaic Down Syndrome, got involved in his school community and worked every year at Giant Tiger as a co-op student. Once he was trained and got used to the store, managers felt comfortable leaving the polite hard worker on his own, confident than
any task he was assigned would be completed. Patrick persevered at work and school and fit in well with his classmates, who gave him a standing ovation when he was awarded the Gabriel Kuling Ability Memorial Bursary at his graduation ceremony in 2005. His mother Fran was thrilled with what her son had accomplished. But she was also wor-

North Grenville. She and her husband were given the following advice: “Set no limits, and let Patrick show you what he is capable of doing.� So they did. And it turns out Patrick can do a lot. His co-op experience at Giant Tiger taught him to work hard and learn new tasks. A second co-op stint at Mac’s Milk in Kemptville turned into a paying job he still holds today. At Mac’s, Patrick learned to label items with a price gun. When price tags were phased out, he began stocking shelves and refilling the cooler, tasks he now regularly carries out without supervision. Rosan Maharaj, owner of Mac’s Milk, calls Patrick a “terrific� worker, meticulous and thorough. “When he arrives at work he will say hello to everyone and then he will go right to work,� Maharaj said.

“When Patrick cleans a shelf, he moves everything off it to clean it, then he puts it back exactly how he found it.” Not content to hold down one job, Patrick accepted an offer from Dermid O’Farrell to start working at O’Farrell Financial Services four years ago. With help from Nancy Fischer, CLNG’s Youth in Transitions Coordinator, Patrick learned to shred paper, collect garbage and recycling, and perform
other office tasks. He carries out his work quietly, effectively and without supervision, and his employer couldn’t be more pleased. “Patrick is an integral part of O’Farrell Financial Services,” O’Farrell said. “It is our pleasure to have Patrick as part of our team.” At the recent CLNG pancake breakfast, what Fran proudly called “Patrick’s fan club” from O’Farrell’s wouldn’t let him leave before they all said hello. The same thing happens when he goes
back to visit St. Michael and teacher after teacher comes by to see how he’s doing. Fischer remembers Patrick as “a bundle of energy” when he was in kindergarten at Holy Cross. On select days, the CLNG veteran goes to work with Patrick, helping him get accustomed his various jobs and his volunteer position at the Kemptville hospital. “We make a good team,” Fischer said, smiling at Patrick, who grinned back. “Supporting Patrick to achieve his personal goals and dreams
in partnership with his community is a very satisfying part of the work we do here,” she added. Fran, who got so involved with CLNG that she now serves as president, is “super pleased” with the group’s role in her son’s life. “He’s got a focus for every day of the week, which is wonderful. It helps to set routines,” said the grateful mother. “Community Living has been a big part of helping Patrick find meaningful and appropriate things (to do). I mean, I’d be lost
without this place.” When not at work, volunteering, or at the bowling alley working on his already impressive average – “I play well,” he says modestly – Patrick enjoys horseback riding – “It’s good to be outside,” he says – swimming and art. He also collects cans from local businesses to help out the environment and his community. Patrick is thrilled with his busy life. “I enjoy it,” he said. High school might now be a memory, but thanks to CLNG, Patrick is as busy,
and happy, as ever. For more information on people with intellectual disabilities and how Community Liv-

The Royal Canadian Sea Cadets Corps held their 12th Annual Review on May 14. The review and awards ceremony took place at St. Michael Catholic High School. The reviewing officer was Captain (N) Stephen E. King, OMM, CD. The Saturday afternoon event got underway with the Cadet Corps marching into the school gymnasium to the crisp music of the
president of the Kemptville Navy League. He has been watching the process of the cadet corps in Kemptville. “I was pleased as punch,” he said after watching the review. “I am very pleased with the amount of effort that went into planning the event.” While the cadets have been busy getting ready for heir annual review, Donovan has also been busy trying to secure a home for the corps. The cadets currently are working out of the Ferguson Forest Centre. Arnaud along with several
community leaders has approached the North Grenville council with a request to jointly lease the old fire hall adjacent to Riverside Park. The fire station is just meters away from Legion hall. and the opportunities for partnerships between the two organizations are many. The fire hall was once a militia barracks, so housing the Sea Cadets would return the building to its original intent. The North Grenville Council is currently looking at a competing proposals including one from Habitat for Humanity.

Residential tax rate falls nearly four per cent J.P. ANTONACCI jp.antonacci@metroland.com
Take heart, taxpayers. The portion of North Grenville’s 2011 residential tax rate set by the municipality will be 4.7 per cent lower than the 2010 rate. Overall, the combined municipal/county/education residential tax rate will drop by 3.96 per cent. The tax rate is used to
calculate the amount of property tax owed by homeowners and businesses. Since most properties in North Grenville are increasing in value, some taxpayers will still see a higher property tax bill, though the reduction in the tax rate means the increase won’t be as high. Treasurer Sheila Kehoe announced the new rates at last Monday’s Commit-
tee of the Whole meeting. The owner of a home valued at $100,000 and assessed at the same value this year would save just under $50 on their 2011 tax bill. They would pay $1,135.60 in property taxes, as opposed to $1,182.48 paid on the same property in 2010. The combined commercial tax rate was lowered by 3.9 per cent, while the
industrial (manufacturing) rate fell 8.41 per cent. The average 2011 property assessment increase in North Grenville was 6.2 per cent. North Grenville could have raised the tax rate to profit from the rising assessments and generate additional income, but council wanted to limit the tax hike for residents, Ke-
hoe said. While the cost of running the municipality has gone up and North Grenville needs to raise nearly $8 million in tax revenue – called the “tax levy� – to balance the 2011 budget, new properties and increases in value to existing properties will generate revenue to compensate for lowering the tax rate.
“We are fortunate to have growth which mitigates some of the increasing costs of providing the same level of service to our municipality,� Kehoe said. Residential tax bills will be mailed in early June, and commercial and industrial bills will follow in September.

Anticipating great opening day deals, customers lined up at the door in the pouring rain at 7 a.m. to start shopping. Inside the new Canadian Tire (CT) store, Mayor David Gordon and Frank Hoffman, associate dealer of the local CT, kept their speeches brief before cutting the ribbon and throwing open the doors on May 19. “This is my favourite store – with all the little gadgets and sales,” said early shopper and Kemptville resident, Suzanne Burris. The new store, located on Ryan’s Well Drive, sported towers of balloons marking the start of the ‘race-track layout’, a feature of CT’s new smart store concept. Though the old store was familiar and navigable to its loyal customers, the new store promises to deliver a better shopping experience. “In our previous model, for example, hardware was separate from nuts and bolts, but now they’re all together – the natural traffic flow was taken into account with the new design, which we’ve been introducing over the past two years,” said Peter Kilty, CT senior vice president. Other new features include a customer pick-up area, easy-to-read navigational signage as well as customer help buttons and more customer assistance desks. There are also information kiosks with direct access to canadiantire.ca, price look-up stations and “how to” guides scattered
around the store. “We have something here to be very proud of,” Frank Hoffman, CT associate dealer told invited guests before cutting the ribbon. “The new store reflects our commitment to deliver top-notch customer service,” he continued after thanking his staff for their commitment to meeting the opening deadline and keeping the old store open. Perhaps the most interesting feature at the new CT location is the 5,000 square feet of Mark’s men’s and women’s clothing at the south end of the store. “I think it’s awesome,” said Heather Pitt of Kemptville from inside the Mark’s store. “We’ve needed something like this for a long time.” Perhaps it was because the opening of the new store also coincided with the 50th anniversary of the local Canadian Tire, but the celebration went on for four days starting on May 19 to the 22! Events included in-store and online contests to win $1000 shopping sprees, $1000 gift cards, and play the Canadian Tire Money Machine. The grand finale was the Kemtpville Ball Hockey Tournament held at the old store location with Ottawa Senators’ Matt Carkner dropping the first ball on Sunday morning. “Opening this store, sure shows the town is growing,” said Lou Jaroly of Oxford Mills, who took time off work to check out the new store.

Bands ready to rock at Dandelion Festival and Hardryde will get toes a-tapping. Dancing is encouraged. The second stage, one block south on Prescott, will feature a more laid-back program, with acoustic acts and belly dancers among the scheduled entertainment. Buskers and street performers will keep the show going around town. Johns was proud to confirm that like in years past, all performances are free. “We’re not interested (in charging admission) unless we absolutely have to,” he said.
The Kemptville Wildcats Minor All Star Team will host a one-day Dandelion Festival Showcase on May 28 for all minor teams from Upper Canada Little League on the baseball diamonds at Riverside Park. Games will run all day from 9:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Contact Calvin Medynski at cmedynski@cogeco.ca with any questions.

Hot local music acts will be sprouting like weeds at this year’s Dandelion Festival. On the main stage at Clothier and Prescott St., a lively mix of bands and solo artists will provide a rocking soundtrack to the weekend-long party set to take over Old Town Kemptville from May 27 to 29. Community interest in the festival has grown over the past three years, says music co-ordinator Ken Johns. “The initial idea was to promote local talent. We’ve been able to raise the bar in terms of the talent level, and keep it local. That’s a win-win for the community,” he said. Friday night is a youth night, featuring a percussion battle between brothers Stevie and Eric Marrotti – “Two of the best young drummers I’ve ever seen,” Johns said – at 8 p.m., bookended by a folk set from Christopher Graham at 7 p.m. and young rockers The Sharks to close out the show. Johns hopes the young people will take part in the rest of the festival as well. He said there were no problems at last year’s
lar demand, oldies band Eddie and the Stingrays will close off the day with a 9 p.m. show. After all that rocking, Sunday offers the chance to say a little prayer at a non-denominational open-air church service scheduled for 12:30 p.m. on the main stage. A Haitian choir and Christian band Papa Grace will lead the congregation in song. “The church service opens up the festival to a whole different genre and makes it more inclusive. After all, it is Sunday,” Johns smiled. After church, bluegrass bands Bi-Town Grass

event. “The kids sort of police themselves – it’s been really good,” he said. “I think the kids appreciate that we’re trying to do something for them.” As Saturday visitors browse downtown shops, sample local food, and explore the new library, several folk groups will be performing on the main stage, including Lisa Pouchinsky, an up-and-comer who has performed at the Ottawa Bluesfest. Fire and Neon is another band not to miss, said Johns, who himself will drum with rock group Roxzilla and blues favourites Roosterman. Back by popu-

Turf reduction in the landscape Article provided by PBM Environmental Gardens and treed areas are an environmentally responsible alternative to turf areas for a variety of reasons. These areas add interest to your property, save money and resource use and carefully planned and implemented will require less time and energy to maintain. Notice I didn’t say less work! There will also be less investment and a significant reduction in your “Carbon Footprint”. It is an understatement to say that this is a well used term these days. We do need to pay attention to it though. If reducing it saves us money and resources and helps to preserve the planet for our grandchildren, it deserves a good look. What we are looking at here is a movement back to a simpler more practical time. Let’s leave acres of turf management to the golf
Hickory Dickory Decks WWW.DECKS.CA
courses. Plant trees in the outer areas of a large lot. Put mulch or slow growing ground covers under them. Establish shrubs and perennials preferably with vegetables inter-planted in areas visible from the house or patio area. Plant a vegetable garden. Of course some turf is necessary for septic beds and family activities. Beyond that it should be an accent to garden features. Speaking of vegetable gardens… how about an “Edible Landscape”? With each generation we get further away from the culture of vegetable gardening. Even if you didn’t grow up in a vegetable gardening family it is worthwhile to develop that skill. The reason more of us don’t grow vegetables and fruit is because they are so cheap in the stores. But are they? At what expense do those products come to stores? From California, Mexico, South America and even the Mediterranean, products line the grocery store shelves. We’re spoiled and have come to expect this produce year round. If we look at the environmental issues that surround this culture the costs of these products are enormous. If we aren’t paying who is? This is a larger discussion than we have room for here. We’ll leave that to Dr. Suzuki. It’s enough to say that if you want to make a difference join the movement to garden some of your own produce. At the very least buy local, do some canning and preserving and try to live by the “100 Mile Rule”. For those unfamiliar with this it simply means look at the product label and only buy if it is produced less than 100 miles from home. Even a move to con-
suming produce from Ontario is a step in the right direction. This doesn’t mean packaged, it means produced. If you decide to undertake some vegetable gardening you should start slowly. A small garden plot that you can experiment with and keep up with is the place to start. Do some reading to see what works. The library and the internet are good resources. Get your children involved so we can pass the joy of gardening on to future generations. Consider planting vegetables among your ornamentals if you like. We are asked by increasing numbers of clients to prepare garden beds for them or interplant. If you get your garden to a size that allows tilling between the rows weeding actually gets less daunting. Trading our big lawn cutting machines in for a smaller less fuel burning tiller or even better,
a hoe, makes a lot of sense. Vegetable and fruit gardening will be a bit more work but not likely more time than you currently spend on a lawn mower. I hear you… Guys…! “A hoe doesn’t have a cup holder or a seat” and “Doing the grass is the quietest 4 hours I have all week under those ear muffs”. The upside is that you won’t have to travel down the road several nights a week and pay for a gym membership. Time spent in the garden is quality family time and it doesn’t cost much. Most importantly you know where and how your food was produced. In the past four or five years we have had an increase in clients wanting help to set up for vegetable gardening. We are currently polling people to see if there is interest in a produce / gardening group/co-op whereby produce could be traded and/or sold. HAPPY GARDENING…!

One of the easiest ways to improve the quality of your plants and vegetables is to reduce watering, directly from the well or municipal supply. The amount of water that is shed from some properties is enough to supply the most avid gardener for most of the growing season. A small amount of plumbing
engineering in your landscape can result in a more vigorous garden and a lot less tap water use. Air temperature water eliminates the shock to plants that well or municipal water brings. You can even run municipal water into your water collection system to top it up before watering plants. This has the double benefit of raising the temperature and gassing off some of the additives. The simplest way that you can

sure the base for your barrels to sit on is sufficiently robust. With a little more engineering, though it is still quite simple, you can drip irrigate your plants from your barrels. Just put a fitting on the bottom and attach the hoses. Barrels will usually fill quite quickly in an average rain. Assess the area of your roof that is drained by a given spout and you may be able to put multiple barrels in sequence to collect as much water as possible. Let gravity do the work so you don’t have to incorporate pumps into your system if you want to keep it simple. A little more complicated though still easily rigged is using larger tanks near the gardens above or below grade. You can see where this is going. I’m sure people are recalling cisterns that parents or grandparents had in farm houses etc. Water was scarce back then for different reasons, usually shallow wells.
23,000 sq. ft. of Greenhouses 9,000 sq. ft. of Perennials
The collected water was used for many things around the house. The thought that rainwater collection is unsightly isn’t necessarily the case. Properly planned and creatively incorporated it will add an attractive element to your landscape. We have used collection sources to power landscape water features and even used, usually, dry stream beds to distribute water to gardens. Be creative and have some fun with it. As mentioned, a large component of “Environmental Responsibility” lies in getting back to basics and simpler times. Environmentally responsible architects, builders and other proponents of “Sustainable Development” are already putting cisterns back into home engineering systems to flush toilets and water landscape and vegetable gardens. Surprising but true…one “Eco” home that I toured not too long ago even listed driveway washing, on a poster, as a use for the collected water. My hope is that not too many of us here in the country wash our driveways. We thought that was what brooms and rain were for. HAPPY GARDENING…!

PAINTING FOR YOUTH Over 15 staff members from the Royal Bank RBC branches in Kemptville and North Gower rolled up their sleeves to help paint the Kemptville Youth Centre on April 30 as part of the bank’s Spirit of Giving Day. RBC also donated $1,000 to the youth centre, on top of the $20,000 RBC After School Grant for 2010/2011. Since 2006, RBC Kemptville has given a total of $146,500 to the youth centre through the After School Grant.

KDH DONATION Neill Earl of First Stop Tool Rentals generously donated $800 to the Kemptville District Hospital Foundation. The donation is a percentage of the cost of the tools rented from his business during the hospital’s redevelopment. The cheque is presented to Dermid O’Farrell, KDH Foundation Board Chair and Melissa Graham, KDH Foundation Executive Director.
Peter Sadler, of Box Office Entertainment received a plaque to acknowledge his generous contribution to the Rotary Rideau Rally from Jennifer Franssen, president of the Rotary Club of Kemptville. Mr. Sadler was one of the major donors last year to the Rotary Rideau Rally event. As a result of his generous contribution and the donations of other partners and the local participates in the rally, the club was able to help the Kemptville Youth Centre purchase the building at their new location in Kemptville.

KDH AUXILIARY RECOGNIZES OLDEST VOLUNTEER At 103, Katy Pominville may be the oldest active hospital volunteer in Ontario. She certainly holds the record in North Grenville. For at least the past 30 years, Katy has knitted socks, mittens and scarves all year long, and has donated a huge bag of them each year to the Kemptville District Hospital Auxiliary gift shop and to the local Salvation Army. On April 27, at a special Volunteer Appreciation Tea, the KDH Auxiliary awarded Katy a special Certificate of Appreciation and a Local Life Member pin in recognition of her longstanding contributions. Several family members attended the tea with her. And as they proudly remarked, “She’s still knitting!” Front row, left to right are: granddaughter Payton Cory, Katy Pominville. Back row, left to right: Jennifer Cory, Penny Brown and Lynn Pominville. Last month, ten long-serving members of the Kemptville District Hospital Auxiliary received certificates signed by Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty, congratulating them on having been awarded Provincial Life Membership by the Hospital Auxiliaries Association of Ontario (HAAO). PLM status confers special recognition on members who have given outstanding service to hospital auxiliaries in Ontario. These awards were announced last November. Two recipients – Catherine Brunton and Eleanor O’Neill – were given their pins and certificates on April 20 in Morrisburg at a regional conference of hospital auxiliary members. Six more -- Lucy Lloyd, Fran Parfitt, Margaret Rupert, Mary Seguin, Bertha Tenbult, and Wanda Tenson – received theirs at a Volunteer Appreciation Tea hosted by the Kemptville District Hospital on April 26. The two final recipients, Kelly Pinhey and Evelyn Dangerfield, will have private presentations of their awards.

RBC TURNS BOOKS INTO CASH FOR SALVATION ARMY RBC North Gower continues to operate their book sale for the benefit of those in need. The simple idea of recycling used books contributed by people in the community, has generated a turnover of hundreds of books resulting in over $2,400 in funds raised since last fall. Simon Downey, Director of Community Services from the Salvation Army was grateful to accept a donation of $400. “We love to hear about the creative initiatives our donors are taking and appreciate having the area communities involved in what we do.” In this photo are: Vicki Graham, Branch Manager of RBC North Gower and Simon Downey, Director of Community Services from the Salvation Army.
