Community grants boost local groups jp.antonacci@metroland.com
The University of Guelph Kemptville Campus celebrated another year of educational excellence at their 2011 graduation.
www.yourottawaregion.com
Every little bit helps, as the saying goes, and ten diverse organizations will soon receive a welcome shot in the arm thanks to the North Grenville community grants. On Monday, council approved the list of grant recipients submitted by treasurer Sheila Kehoe. The ten community groups will share a total of $5,600 to put toward specific projects outlined in their applications to the municipality. Community grant money will help the Beth Donovan Hospice fund a management training program. The Oxford Mills Pathfinders will invest in first aid and CPR training, and the Bishops Mills Community Association will repair the roof and ceiling and paint the roof of the Bishops Mills Community Hall. The First Oxford Mills Girl Guides will put their
grant money toward camping equipment, while the Navy League of Canada Kemptville Branch will purchase canoes, and the Kemptville Tennis Club will pick up some equipment and tennis balls. The Snowmobile Club is fundraising for a new roof, and the Kemptville Youth Centre can purchase a barbeque and landscape items, and put up a basketball hoop. The Oxford Mills Community Association will put its grant money toward a UV water treatment system in Maplewood Hall, and the Bishops Mills Cemetery Board is one step closer to widening the entrance of its vault to fit its garden tractor. In total, the organizations requested approximately $9,500 in funding from the municipality, of which they received $5,600. Each individual grant is worth less than $1,000. RESIDENTS see page 3

You will never run out of ways to say thank you. Tyson Sherrer of Winchester was trying to give CHEO a huge thank you for what the hospital had been able to do to help him. As a result, he has received an Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year award as a thank you to him for his efforts to help others. The 13-year-old held his first fundraising ball hockey tournament two years ago at the Winchester Community Centre. The proceeds of the day-long event were added to the Ryan Williams Fund for CHEO. In the past two years Tyson has organized two tournaments and raised more than $15,000 for CHEO while at the same time giving a great number of people, young and old, a day of fun. This year’s tournament takes place at the Winchester Community Center on Saturday June 11. Once again, the proceeds from the tournament and silent auction will be combined with funds from the Ryan Williams Fund for CHEO golf tournament. Winning the award was a thrill for Tyson. “I was really surprised,” he said re-
membering the excitement he had just going down to Niagara Falls where the 12 final winners were announced. There had been 500 entries, which judges narrowed down to 150 names.

“I found out that there are a lot of people who do things to help others,” said Tyson. “I got to see what other people have done.” Tyson, a Grade 7 student at Nationview Public School in South Mountain, was born with a skin condition called Congenital Melanocytic Naevi. The condition results in a birthmark, and in Tyson’s case, one that covered a large area on his head. His family took him to CHEO and after several surgeries, the birth mark was gone. Doctors knew that the longer the birthmark was in place, the greater the chance of skin cancer developing. Getting to go home while other young children had to stay at the hospital was something Tyson never forgot. “I came home and after I took the bandages off my head, much of my birthmark was gone,” remembers Tyson. “I felt they had done a pretty good job. They did something for me so I wanted to do something for them.” The idea of a ball hockey tournament appealed to Tyson. He had played the game himself when he was younger and appreciated the fun aspect of it. “You do not have to be a pro,” he said. “If ball hockey didn’t work I would have found another way.” He said organizing the tournament each year is fun. His family has been there to support him. His brother and sister, Cam and Taylor, work with him on tournament day to make sure everything works as planned. “Taylor works at the canteen all day,” said Tyson. “And Cam makes sure I am where I am supposed to be all day long.” This year Tyson is hoping to get into CHEO to have a look at where the money he raises goes. He has no illusions about why the ball hockey tournaments are a success. He believes, along with his family that it takes a whole community to make something like this work. The 2011 tournament includes players under 11, teens 12 to 15 and adults 16 and over. Tyson is looking for more community and business support. The silent auction at the tournament still has some room for donations. For more information call 613-989-1534 or email Partyof5@ ripnet.com The award is coordinated by the Ontario Community Newspaper Association and sponsored by The TD Bank and Direct Energy.

The rainy cold weather and dreary morning mist could not dampen the enthusiasm of the people who opened the Diary Education and Innovation Centre on the University of Guelph Kemptville Campus. The project to convert the barn, originally intended as a bull-testing barn, has been on the minds of residents and educators for the past 20 years. The barn was built in 1926. The more than $1 million needed to modernize the barn and install a robotic milking system arrived as a result of provincial funding and $380,000 from the Kemptville College Foundation and the Kemptville College Alumni Association. The Dairy Farmers of Ontario and Agriculture Research Institute of Ontario helped out as well. The alumni push for funding came from Nick Thurler of South Mountain and Robert Byvelds of Williamsburg, along
with Ed Schouten of Richmond. Fundraisers had to reach their goals in order for other groups to follow up with their own contributions. The grand opening of the centre included greetings from many supporters. Director of the Kemptville Campus Dr. Claude Naud told his audience how thrilled he was to be able to open the centre. “This is a momentous occasion,” he said. The centre is the first of its kind in Canada located on a research campus like Kemptville. Karen Chan, CAO and Assistant Deputy Minister of Agriculture Food and Rural Affairs, spoke on behalf of Minister Carol Mitchell, who was unable to attend. “I would like to commend the University of Guelph and the faculty, staff and students here at the Kemptville Campus for their insight and innovation in the creation of this new facility,” she said. The Deputy Minister went on to point out that the Dairy Education and Inno-

The system offers students and educators the opportunity to collect more data than was previously possible to be used for research and for teaching purposes. While the cow is being
milked, the robotic system collects the data, which is sent to a computer where it can be analyzed. The system collects all kinds of information, such as the well-being of the cow’s cells, the amount of fat in the milk, and even its colour. It can tell a farmer what the cow has been eating and how
well it is doing out in the pasture. The cow is given a special collar that it wears all the time. The herd is trained to want to come into the barn and to step into the robotic milking stall. Once in place, the robotic milking and information gathering can begin.

“We’re quite happy with the response,” said Kehoe, the staff liaison for the selection committee, along with council representative Barb Tobin. The 11 total applications – the Dandelion Festival was denied funding because it has other significant revenue sources – were up from six applications during the previous round, a sign that word of the grant program is spreading.
“The committee was very pleased with the thought and detail that was provided by the organizations,” Kehoe said. “Some organizations, like the cemetery board, don’t have a huge source of revenue, and the Girl Guides and the Navy League in particular put a lot of thought and detail into their applications.” North Grenville budgeted $8,000 for community grants this year. Groups will vie for the remaining $2,400 in the fall.

Festival reaches new heights It ended up being perfect festival weather last weekend. Thousands of residents and visitors braved the threat of thunderstorms and had a ball at the Dandelion Festival in Kemptville. Buskers, belly dancers, painters, musicians and artisans showcased their talents at every turn, while over 200 cyclists competed in the Grand Prix. Farmers’ market shoppers had a tough time deciding which delicious homegrown treats to take home. The smiles on children’s faces were too many to count. After almost a decade of fundraising and cajoling, the new library opened on Water Street to universal acclaim. Not only were visitors awed by the spacious architecture, but people of all ages signed up for library cards and left carrying stacks of books. Mayor David Gordon thinks the library will become the educational and cultural hub for North Grenville and maybe even Leeds and Grenville, and he might be onto something. In a case of entertainment overload, the Shriners midway on County Road 43 seemed to get lost in the shuffle as people parked their cars and enjoyed the many charms of Old Town. Better communication next year would ensure that both events get the attention they
deserve. Several hundred people stayed late Saturday night, dancing to the doo-wop sound of Eddie and the Stingrays. As families and friends danced and laughed together, more than a few people had the same thought: why don’t we do this more often? Not the whole festival, of course, which is no mean feat of coordination. But growing North Grenville seems ripe for a summer concert series that would get residents mingling with their neighbours. There is certainly no shortage of local talent to fill the bill, say once a month until September. A beer tent, a few port-o-potties, and you’re in business. Friday’s washed out youth night could kick start such a series, since the acts are already lined up and the teens who were out dancing alongside their parents and grandparents would no doubt love the chance to celebrate the end of the school year with a street party. The Big Brothers Big Sisters Ribfest in June is something to look forward to, but then the calendar goes quiet. An outdoor concert series would draw in visitors, boost local businesses, and generate the kind of excitement that enlivens long summer nights. The time might be right to press play on this idea.

A growing list of the things that annoy you I was thinking the other day about something that annoyed me — it might have been music piped out onto the street from shopping centres and stores; is anybody listening, and is it more depressing if someone is? Or it might have been the Internet. In fact, that’s probably what it was. The thing that is most annoying about the Internet is that it consists largely of people being annoyed. You get annoyed with it after a while. Everybody on the Internet is annoyed about something. Entire websites and Facebook pages are devoted to people hating something or someone. There is nothing new about annoyed people trying to make their annoyances public. There have always been chronic letter-to-the-editor writers. There have always been people who tape messages to telephone poles or put signs up in front of their houses or call in to open-line radio shows. But this is the first time people have had the ability to broadcast their annoyances to the entire world. And they are taking advantage of it like crazy. Not all of them are doing it constructively. Read the Comments section underneath a story on a news site
CHARLES GORDON Funny Town and see how bad-tempered people can be. Few of the comments have much to do with the particular article, but they’ll give you a pretty good idea what’s bugging the writer. Check the online comments about restaurants and hotels, particularly ones that you have visited and enjoyed. You won’t believe how much misery they could have inflicted on their would-be critics. Entire nations suffer at the hands of the annoyed ones. Have a look at the online reviews on travel pages. People will tell you not to visit certain countries — not because they are unsafe or totalitarian or disease ridden, but because the writer experienced a lumpy bed or had a lukewarm cup of coffee. You could do this too, and to be sure, it’s tempting. Are you annoyed, say, at

those hockey fans in the expensive seats who pound on the glass whenever the puck is in their vicinity? Well, you can let the entire world know. You don’t have to count on the editor printing your letter or the open-line producer accepting your call. You just put your blog on line and let everyone know that pounding on the glass is not among the reasons we were put here on Earth. Many people will thank you for it, although they will do so privately. Online, people will just question your right to have an opinion. Being publicly annoyed is a growth industry and it will only continue to grow as an increasingly complex world creates more annoyances for more people and as the ranks of the retired increase, providing a larger pool of people with the time to blog. They might blog about those new stoplights that are only stoplights for some drivers. For the other drivers, they are stop signs. For every driver, there is confusion. There is going to be some serious crashing at one of those, you might say in your blog. Then other people will call you an idiot.

What better way to spend a holiday Monday than at a farm auction. It went from cool to hot to a little rain, but the Farmer happily mixed and mingled with his peers, discussing the merits of bush hogs and backhoes, for a good six hours. I was there for about an hour when an idea hit me. This place is full of farmers. Don’t farmers need barn cats? I asked permission of the host, then hopped in the truck and went home to scoop up some kittens. I also threw a few extra cat carriers in the truck, as a valueadd to the adoptive owners. I made a sign: “Free Mousers” – and enlisted help to walk around the crowd with kitties in their arms. I shouldn’t have bothered. The only farmers that need kittens are the ones that have just entered the farming life. And I’m sure even then, if they look around hard enough, they will find a cat in their barn. So the kittens and I had an outing. For no reason. They got taken out
Critics choice
of their carriers for cuddles. They even got bottled water and Temptations cat treats. But they didn’t get adopted. When I married the Farmer, he probably had about six cats. He put a single bowl of dry food down in the barn every day and didn’t worry about them. When the girls and I moved in, we were enchanted by the friendly beasts. We lured them up onto the back porch with food and they probably had at least two good meals a day. Slowly the population grew. When they were sick, I took them to the vet and saved their lives. I give them homeopathic veterinary medicine when they have a flu virus and I put Polysporin drops in their eyes when they are infected. My cats are fat and healthy. The last two years, it has become apparent that we need to take steps to control this prolific animal family. But at $200 a pop, it won’t happen overnight. Our most pressing issue is the bumper crop of kittens that we
c u r-

rently have at the farm. The Village Kitten Rescue of North Gower http://www.vkrkittens. com and Big Sky Ranch of Kemptville have offered to send kitten seekers our way. They have even posted photos of our kittens so that people will see what cute cuddlers we have to offer. Of course, as operators of animal shelters, they understand the importance of spaying and neutering our cats. If someone
adopts a kitten of mine, Village Kitten Rescue is willing to arrange necessary vaccinations, deworming and spay / neutering at a big discount. Now is your chance to get the housecat you always wanted, while doing something good. These cats may have been born in a barn, but they have manners. They are easily trained to use a litter box, to learn their boundaries and to obey the rules of the house. Take Sheila, for instance. She was brought into the house before winter last year, to provide companionship for another kitten that was being treated indoors for an eye infection. After a few months, the infection was gone, but the kittens had not grown enough winter fur to be allowed outside. We made adoption posters, circulating them around town and on the Internet. In a short time, the newly recovered kitten was adopted. But Sheila remained. “Since when do we have a
house cat?” the Farmer asked one day, as Sheila sauntered past him on her way to her water bowl, carrying her “practice kitten” (a small frog beanie toy) in her mouth. “Since about Halloween,” I said. Sheila is not the biggest cuddler, but she does have her favourite place to sit next to her humans on the couch. We enjoy our conversations (she is very vocal and seems to understand our speech) and find her habits quite entertaining. Sheila knows she isn’t allowed on tables and countertops, she can play fight without using her teeth or claws, and she uses her litterbox effectively. If you are interested in adopting one of the Fisher Farm kittens, visit www.theaccidentalfarmwife.com and view photos, and then contact me at: dianafisher1@gmail.com

Meredith Willson would have been thoroughly pleased with Barbara Lacelle’s fast-paced direction of The Music Man presented by the Kemptville Youth Musical Theatre Company this past weekend at the North Grenville Municipal Centre. Barbara Lacelle, Marilyn Conroy and their production team showed how you can get young people to work together almost like family. It is hard to imagine that The Music Man first premiered in 1962 in Mason City, Iowa, Willson’s home town. To this day, it has remained vibrant and captivating; this weekend was no exception. The long hours of rehearsal were reflected in the top rate acting, singing, and dancing. Con man Josh McEvoy and librarian Valarie Hartry provided rich, professional performances. Casting was superb, especially in relation to Phill McIndoe, Roark Brookson, Amanda Giles, Rory Blaisdell, and Steve Killoran. And who could forget the Pickalittle Ladies, Eulalie’s four gossipy friends? In all honesty, if I were a critic, the entire cast would get kudos. You continue to surpass all expectations, Barb and Marilyn. Kemptville is fortunate to have you on board the Rock Island train.

St. Michael tops in region STAFF St. Michael Catholic High School in Kemptville received top marks in the Fraser Institute’s annual secondary school report card released last month. With a score of 9.6 out of 10, St. Michael was the top school in the region and the second best in the province for 2009/2010, trailing St. Michael’s Choir School in Toronto by 0.2 points. A five-year average score of 9.7 makes St. Michael the top secondary school in the province over that time, leading a field of over 700 schools. “We are extremely proud of our students and of our faculty and staff, and while this ranking does put St Michael in a good light, we
know in our hearts that the success of our students has always been paramount,” said St. Michael principal Donna Koekkoek. North Grenville District High School boosted its overall grade to 7.1 from 6.4. The Fraser Institute, an independent think tank, tabulates the scores by analyzing the results of the Grade 9 applied and academic math tests and the Grade 10 literacy test, including how many students pass the literacy test on their first try. St. Michael achieved a 97 per cent pass rate for the literacy test, and only 3.5 per cent of the school’s math tests were below the provincial standard, compared to a province-wide average of 27 per cent.

Rainy skies couldn’t dim the smiles of the University of Guelph Kemptville Campus graduates who entered Friday’s ceremony at the W.B. George Centre as everyday students and emerged as the future leaders of Canadian agriculture. This year, 122 students who came to Kemptville from across the country graduated from diploma programs in Agriculture, Agriculture Equine Option, and Food, Nutrition and Risk Management; certificate programs in Industrial Welding and Fabrication, Diesel Equipment Mechanic, and Horse Industry Technician; and apprenticeships as Agricultural & Heavy Equipment Technicians. More than one third of the students graduated with distinction, meaning they attained marks of 80 per cent or higher. Friday was a proud day for Bernard Mallet and Jeanne Robichaud of Caraquet, New Brunswick, whose daughter Alexandra is now officially a horse industry technician. Mallet said that seeing his daughter graduate from a level of education he himself did not reach was something

Maharaj, an agriculture veteran who has worked in policymaking and international diplomacy, spoke of the rapidly changing face of farming and of the opportunities for the graduates to shape a sector he called “without question Canada’s greatest ambassador in the world today.” These graduates, he said, will have to balance Canada’s unprecedented agricultural output with the unknowns of genetic engineering, the reality of soil erosion and environmental degradation, the challenge of preserving Canada’s farming heritage and protecting food sovereignty, and the threat of another global pandemic. In 500 years, he said, society will view how modern farmers changed the face of agriculture as a turning point in human history. “Agriculture is a path that allows you to make a very real and very rare contribution to our country,” he told the students. “You have the opportunity to change the agriculture industry in Canada like no other Canadians who’ve ever lived.” With Kemptville as their launch pad, these graduates are confident they are up to the task.

DIANA FISHER Special to the Advance
You may have seen some men walking around town in “mullet” hairstyles you haven’t seen since the ‘80s. They haven’t entered a mid-life crisis. They are wearing the retro hairstyles in honour of a dear friend, the late Carol Durie. Friends Pete Johnston, Mark Hyndman, Dean Tataryn and Patrick Poirier knew Carol for years – many of them having met her through her son Todd, who played hockey with them. “We were always welcome in her house. She was our mom-away-from-
home,” said Johnston. In addition to the hockey community, young people in the Kemptville area knew Carol Durie as a track coach and teacher. She was the substitute you didn’t mind standing in for your regular teacher. Always interested in her students, she took the time to get to know each one of them personally. Carol also made numerous friends through her lifelong love of horses. She and daughter Suzanne (Tighe) hosted the Gaelic Glen horsing event on their Oxford Mills property for several years. Many people were struck with profound sadness when they learned
of Carol’s struggle with breast cancer – a brave battle that she eventually lost last August. In particular, four former students and friends of Carol wanted to do something special to honour her memory and the important role that she played in so many young people’s lives. They decided that a golf tournament would be the best way to get people together for a day of fun, followed by a relaxing meal. The event would raise money for a good cause – breast cancer research. After consulting with some local business people, however, the tournament organizers decided
to streamline their fundraising for a specific local cause – the mammography unit at Kemptville District Hospital.

What We Need In Life For someone to be content, joyful and at peace in this life, I believe that they need the following: faith and trust in God, to give love and be needed, meaningful work, and something to look forward to. One could argue that this is only the tip of the iceberg, and that there are many other things that should be included if we are to be content with our lives, such as good health, money, etc. There are relatively few people in life with perfect health or a lot of money, but true happiness is indeed a blessing from God. Our awareness and gratitude for all the good things that have been given to us should bring joy and happiness to our hearts, and we should always give thanks to our Heavenly Father for how much He loves us. We can be confident that God wants His people to be full of joy and to have peace in their lives. The Bible tells us that He will protect those who love Him, and they will be truly happy.
May the God of hope fill you with joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the holy Spirit you may abound in hope. R.S.V.

Hail to the chief Kemptville Fire Chief Tim Bond calls it a career...for now J.P. ANTONACCI jp.antonacci@metroland.com
Walking through the state of the art fire station he was instrumental in building, Fire Chief Tim Bond can see that Kemptville has become a modern, progressive department able to serve the future needs of the community. But perhaps his most lasting achievement is an intangible one. The chief called it a career on Tuesday after four decades fighting fires in North Grenville and 26 years at the helm. Along with better equipment and a new fire hall, Bond is proud that the department puts members’ mental health and well-being first. After a big fire, firefighters go behind closed doors
and debrief the experience, airing out their emotions in a safe space. “We can talk about the incident and the pain that goes with it, so it doesn’t go home and go into the closet,” he said at his last official council meeting. “That’s been a major, major change,” Bond elaborated while packing up his office last week. “You see, when I first joined we didn’t have (the debriefs). So you’d go to a fire where there was a fire death, a couple of people burned, and you wouldn’t be seen with a tear in your eye. They were macho. You had your beer fridge, and you’d go and take your sorrows out on the bottle. Then the first time the cat crossed your steps, you’d yell at the cat. You just kept that in-
side. Now, you come out here and talk about it openly.” Bond made sure his people knew they could call the chief at home at any time. “258-BOND. That’s how simple it is. 258-BOND, and I answer the phone,” he said. The memories come flooding back as he packs up his belongings and prepares to hang up his white helmet for the last time. “It’s a time of joy and sadness,” Bond said. Deputy Chief Harold Workman will run the department as interim chief until a permanent replacement is chosen this summer. The municipality has already received over 30 applications for the job. Whoever next dons the chief ’s hat should remember to be themselves, be honest, and be ready for

change, Bond advised. “We had our first tanker in 1974. It was a homemade job that the boys put together,” he recalled. It would take hours to clean and prepare the rigs one at a time in the cramped fire hall on Reuben Cres. Now, his staff can work on multiple trucks at once in a station Bond proudly called “the very best facility in the province to work out of.” An accountability system put in place to keep track of firefighters at and after every call “ensures that our firefighters go home,” he explained. “Gone are the days when you’re standing outside the burned structure going ‘where’s Tom, Dick and Sally?’” He pointed out that the department has never been sued during his time, a rarity in this litigious age, which suggests that his firefighters do their job right. Firefighting is in the chief ’s blood, as his father Bill served Kemptville for 37 years, and his son Charles currently volunteers with the Kemptville department and works in Ottawa. “I’m the only member to have had the honour and privilege of serving with my father and my son,” Bond told council, momentarily choking up. “That’s quite an accomplishment.” He thanked his wife, Margaret,
for her steady support. Deputy Mayor Ken Finnerty’s father served with the elder Bond as volunteer firefighters. “Tim certainly is a chip off the old block,” Finnerty said. “Without your vision, without your persistence, we wouldn’t have that fire hall…You were relentless,” Coun. Terry Butler added. Mayor David Gordon recommended that Bond write about his long career, an idea the chief didn’t rule out. He also didn’t rule out returning to the department, but this time as “one of the guys.” “I’m hoping to stay on as a volunteer,” Bond said, sitting behind his desk. “I want to come back with the black hat instead of the white hat. I feel like I can be an asset here, but not be the second cook in the kitchen either.” He trusts his officers and the command system he established to carry on after his departure, and said he’d gladly take “the really boring job” of supplying tankers with water from a pond two kilometers from the fire if it meant staying in the action. “It’s in my heart, and that’s the point. Once it leaves your heart, get the hell out,” he said. Or as Gordon told him, “Remember, you’re always Chief.” 470282-22-11

New library promises to make the most of every mind J.P. ANTONACCI jp.antonacci@metroland.com
“Isn’t it supposed to be quiet in the library?” one man asked his wife during the grand opening of the North Grenville Public Library last Saturday. “Not today!” she replied, both smiling broadly. Saturday was indeed a day of celebration, as people came from all over North Grenville to see a building they had long waited for. Parents were impressed by the many reading nooks and open space for children’s activities, while several seniors remarked how easy it was to enter the new building. The Room to Read Campaign raised just over $900,000 to go along with $1.3 million in infrastructure funding provided by the federal and provincial governments. The library had only been open a few hours and the payoff was already clear to CEO Sue Higgins. “We expected people to come in and take a look, but people are actually using the library! We’ve signed up so many new members,” she said. All around her, librarians scrambled as books and DVDs flew off the shelves, many into the hands of eager youngsters. “Okay, I think I’m ready to go now,” said one little boy, clutching a stack of seven paperbacks. Odds are he’ll be back soon.
Friends Emma Faghali of South Gower (left) and Taylor Sabourin of Oxford Mills crack open a book in the new library. “I think it’s awesome!” Taylor said. “It’s big, and there’s lot of space for different categories.” Emma was similarly impressed. “It’s really tidy and organized,“ she said. “You can sit and relax.” J.P. Antonacci Photos/Advance Staff
It was party time at last for the Room to Read Campaign, which saw nearly ten years of fundraising and a little arm-twisting culminate in the grand opening of the North Grenville Public Library Norenberg Building on Saturday. Before a crowd that filled Water Street, Coun. Barb Tobin congratulated the campaign and the library board, which she called “a wonderful, hard-working group of people.” North Grenville Mayor David Gordon thanked past councils for their vision and persistence in creating what he believes will become “the cultural and educational centre of North Grenville.” Cutting the celebratory cake are (left to right) Room to Read’s honourary co-chairs George and Norma Fisher, chair Bill McElrea, Mayor Gordon, MP Gord Brown, and library CEO Sue Higgins.
Longtime library supporter Audrey McClenaghan (left) enjoys a cup of tea with friend Hilda Scott during a Seniors Tea in the newly opened library Sunday afternoon. The library makes use of controlled natural light to brighten the experience for users. Dedicated spaces for children and teens, plus a communal area for social events like the tea, ensure that the whole community will feel at home. 470366-22-11

After quality soil the next two most crucial components of any landscape are composts and mulches. With the recent Ontario wide ban on the “Cosmetic Use of Pesticides” it is more important than ever to have top quality soil to support a healthy landscape. It is also a good time to cut back on the amount of turf you maintain. If you want a shot at controlling weeds on the turf you do keep the soil must be rich. Gone are the days when a thin poor turf could be kept weed free by chemical means. It’s not desirable to have vegetation sustained solely by regularly applied fertilization. One of the best ways to fortify your turf is to leave the clippings on your lawn. Sometimes this will mean cutting your grass a little more often. The clippings are a good way of returning nutrients, particularly nitrogen, to the turf.
June 19 till September 9 closed.
If you need to rake some clippings layer them into your compost. Definitely don’t bag them up and pay for a garbage truck to take them down the road. Compost incorporation is the most effective way of keeping a thriving landscape soil fertile without the use of chemicals and commercial fertilizers. If you want to keep the soil ecosystem functioning properly organic material (OM) levels must be kept up. In addition soil microbial populations must be maintained to break down OM and make nutrients available to the plants. Microbial populations with beneficial bacteria, fungi and nematodes are seriously depleted or destroyed when chemicals are incorporated. Healthy well composted material will increase the microbial populations. If a soil needs a microbial boost “Compost Tea” can be brewed quite easily and added to a soil where a healthy OM component already exists. Simply

of some sort put down to cover the soil in around your vegetation. Compost itself can even constitute a good mulch. Mulch acts to keep weed seeds from germinating and will also keep soil a bit cooler in hot dry periods. Mulch also increases the soil’s ability to hold moisture and keep it available for plants. Since mulches are preferably organic as they break down and decompose they provide OM and nutrient value to your garden. Shredded or ground wood barks are good mulches. Newspaper can also be used a few sheets at a time. Larger wood fibre mulches are best for treed or utility areas where you don’t need it to decompose too quickly. Any thing that can limit labour, weed trimmer use and chemicals is worthwhile. Chemicals for cosmetic uses are now banned in Ontario so these traditional gardening methods described here are important to consider.

Thank you! Thank you for being with us these last 5 weeks as we look at some of the best companies in our area to help you get the most out of outdoor living. Times keep changing and with it come new exciting possibilities. The phrase “outdoor living” seems to be part of our culture now, whereas when I grew up it was just called “being outdoors”. People want to get more out of their time outside whether it is in the garden, having friends over to a BBQ in your newly landscaped yard, or just the satisfaction of knowing that your yard is exactly the way you finally want it after many years. Our advertisers have made these pages possible as they do every year, to let you know they are there with new products to help you get the most out of this summer. There have been garden centres, small engine shops, landscapers, deck builders, an outdoor BBQ and living store, and contractors all located within the area. They live here, pay taxes here and employ people here and I ask that you consider thinking of them first. They help support many of
the fairs, charities, and events that make living out here special. Some of the pictures displayed here are of my backyard which took many years to become what it is today and are lucky that so many birds drop by, that our “touchy” flowers seem to bloom most years, and that it is a relaxing place to be. As most Canadians do, we try and spend as much time as possible outdoors before the snow flies and having a ncie looking back yard helps. If you are starting a project (deck, new BBQ area, new garden etc.) keep with it and follow it through. Rome was not built in a day and it may take several years before you find the right fit, but when you do, all the work and expense is worth it. If you are not a gardener, no worries here, luckily we have a great landscapers to sort that out and the plus is that they seem to be much quicker producing results than doing it yourself (speaking for me that is).
Thanks for reading and we’ll see you next spring “In The Garden”.

stated, “Compost Tea” is an aerobically produced concentrate of microscopic life. It can be produced with commonly available aquarium equipment and can be applied liberally to soils and directly onto plants. In 12 – 24 hours beneficial microbial populations can be multiplied by 500 – 1000 times. Notably fungi and nematodes can be found in a good “Compost Tea”. Compost Tea is brewed with a bucket, aquarium air pump and attachments and a small amount of good quality compost (about 1 pound). The compost is in for 6-8 hours then 18-20 hours later the brew is complete. It can then be applied with a hose end sprayer or watering can. Five gallons of tea in a water sprayer will cover an acre or more. It can be put on at any interval and as often as you like. Along with good compost the value of Mulches can’t be stressed enough. There are many types and ways of using mulches. Generally good mulch is an organic material

Mowing a large lawn seems like such a simple task and it can be if you have a yard or garden tractor with the right features. Turn Tight™ Technology enables homeowners to manicure their lawn quickly and easily while reducing the amount of gas needed to get the job done. This is because Turn Tight™ technology features an innovative steering system to help the user closely mow around objects, like garden gnomes, and quickly and easily cut grass around tight spaces created by trees and flower beds without the need to reverse. Turn Tight™ Technology is an innovative steering system that offers a tighter turning radius to be able to efficiently mow around obstacles, such as garden beds and shrubs, without using the reverse motion. This means that in many instances you do not have to get off your tractor to complete the job manually. For open areas, a tight turning radius is important as it allows users to quickly turn around and mow parallel to the last mowed swath in the opposite direction. Tractors with a large turning radius require more time and more use of the reverse gear to properly position the unit for parallel path mowing. Turn Tight™ Technology is unique to models of Craftsman yard and garden tractors and is a great choice for homeowners as

The Upper Canada Little League Minor 9-10-year old season opened up in Kemptville as spring weather gave way to summer. The first game of the season took place on the newly renovated field in front of 50 fans at Riverside Park. The Kemptville Black Sox defeated the Kemptville Red by a score of 14-5. In this photo pitcher Ben Medynski, threw the first pitch to open the new field, which will also be home base for the Kemptville Wildcats Minor All Star team. The league held a minor ball tournament during the Dandelion Festival. It was an all-day event from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. They are looking forward to the spring of 2012 when they will be doing it again.

73’s get their man at CCHL draft As a 15-year-old minor midget player, Blaine Byron only had nine games at the end of last season to make an impression with the Kemptville 73’s coaching staff. It’s clear he made his presence felt. The 73’s dealt forward Brandon Lesway – a player who has committed to the Ontario Hockey League’s Kitchener Rangers – and Gloucester’s second-round pick for a player development fee and the rights to protect Byron in the Central Canada Hockey League 2011 Draft at Earl Armstrong Arena on May 18. The Manotick native was then selected third overall by the 73’s. “We thought he was the best play-making centre in the whole draft,” 73’s general manager and head coach Pat Malloy said. “He’s a dynamic player and was probably one of the better players during the games he played.”
Byron, 16, posted a goal and an assist during his brief stint with Kemptville. But with the Upper Canada Cyclones AAAs, he finished sixth in Ontario East Minor Hockey League scoring with 48 points while playing all 30 games. The six-foot, 147-pounder said his time with the team last year will help with his adjustment going into the 2011-12 season. Given that the 73’s finished third last in the 12-team league with a 22-33-2-5 record, Byron will likely get ample chance to play. “It’s a great organization for me to go from a development standpoint,” Byron said. “I hope I can go in there and see how training camp goes and make the team and hang on from there for the rest of the season.” According to Malloy, that shouldn’t be an issue. Because the 73’s didn’t have a first-round pick a year ago, they wanted to ensure a quality selection this time. They believe they’ve found their man

We are fortunate in our area to have a reliable supply of electrical energy. Power outages of any major duration are reasonably rare. There was one such interruption back in August 2003 and a few since then that have served to remind us just how incredibly dependent we are on electricity. Whenever the power goes out, my first thoughts turn to the pain it will be to reset all the clocks in the house. Then, I begin to worry about the safety of the food in our refrigerator and freezer. Your refrigerator will stay cold longer, if it is relatively full since its contents will hold the cold better than the air in an empty refrigerator. Generally, things in your freezer will stay frozen for about 24 hours, providing you keep the door closed at all times. The real risk comes when you are away from your residence for a prolonged period of time and don’t know if a lengthy power failure has occurred. This is particularly trouble-
some for people who own cottages and may only be there on the weekends for much of the season. Consider what might happen if the power was interrupted early in the week for several days. As the contents of your freezer gradually thawed, any microorganisms present in the previously frozen foods would have the opportunity to proliferate in numbers, even if just on the surface. After the power was restored, chances are very good that the food would have re-frozen before you returned to the cottage the following weekend. Potentially what you could have in your freezer would be re-frozen contaminated food. You would have no way of knowing that the food had thawed (or partially thawed) while you were away for the week, unless you were informed by a neighbour or a local newspaper story. The flashing of electric clocks is not a good indicator, since even a very short power disruption can cause this to happen. What is really needed is an easy and
reliable way to monitor the contents of your freezer to detect any unexpected thawing. This is where the “cool” idea comes into play. You can make your own thawing “detector” by freezing some water in a plastic cup and placing a coin on top of it. Leave the cup in your freezer and check it on a regular basis. If there has been any thawing, the coin will sink into the melted ice or go to the bottom of the cup and be re-frozen below the surface when the refrigeration capacity returns. You will need to check if the frostfree feature of your freezer has any impact on the behaviour of this device. If you open the freezer door a lot, this may also have some impact on it as well. The beauty lies in its simplicity and low cost - a penny and a cup of water are all you need. However, if you would like to build a “deluxe” model, you can use a loonie or a twoonie instead of a penny. Speaking of ice, try using hot or boiled water to make the ice, but allow it to cool before putting it in the freez-
er. It will be clearer than if you use cold water. Dissolved air in the cold water creates tiny bubbles in the ice which give it a degree of opacity. Heating the water reduces the dissolved air content creating clearer ice cubes. Associate Professor, Food Science Kemptville Campus University of Guelph

Funeral service was held in the Chapel on Friday at 10:00 A.M. In remembrance, contributions to the Ottawa Hospital Cancer Centre at the General Campus or the Great War Memorial Hospital Foundation would be appreciated. Derrill’s family wish to express their sincere thanks to Dr. Ross McLean and the nursing staff of the 3rd floor of the Perth Hospital for their care and compassion.
Peacefully at Kemptville District Hospital Long Term Care Unit, with her husband at her side, on April 23, 2011. Mary Dorothy Campbell (nee Cleary) of Oxford Station, age 91 years. Beloved wife for 63 years of Murray Campbell. She was the devoted mother of the late Linda (Steve Testart) of Kingston, and Diane von Bornhoft (Hans) of Martintown, who has been such a support and comfort to her parents. Loving grandmother of Jason Bornhoft (Jennie) of Barranquilla, Colombia, Christopher von Bornhoft of Toronto, Shannon Carr (Kevin) of Guelph, Heather Jeffery (Shawn) of Waterdown, Danny Ravary and James Miller, both of Martintown. Great Grandmother to Jessica, Kristen, Jacob, Liam, Sienna, and Hayle. Dear sister of Elmer (Christine) of St. Bruno, QC, Catherine Ingram (Steve) of Whitby, Ann of Ancaster and sister-in-law Margaret Cleary of St. Lambert, QC. She will be missed by her many nieces and nephews. Pre-deceased by her parents Elmer and Delia (Brault), step mother Kitty (Stace), brothers Paul, Redmond, Tom and sister Stella. Mary was born in Grand-Mere, QC on Feb. 18, 1920 where she attended the Ursuline Convent. In 1931, she moved to Montreal with her family and attended the parish school of St. Michael the Archangel. She married Murray on Oct. 4, 1947 in St. Ignatius of Loyola Parish. In 1985 Mary and Murray retired to their home in Oxford Station. Mary enjoyed many activities throughout her life. She was a remarkable seamstress, she enjoyed bowling, singing, and bringing her beautiful smile to brighten the lives of the lonely. A Breast & Thyroid cancer survivor, she was a member of the Cancer Support group in Kemptville for many years and a founding member of the Circle of Friends. The family is very grateful to the staff of the Long Term Care Unit (KDH), who treated Mary with the kindness and attention of a family member. A Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated on April 28 by Father Andrew Shim in Holy Cross Catholic Church, Kemptville, followed by burial in the Parish Cemetery. Those who wish, may make memorial donations to Kemptville District Hospital, Canadian Cancer Society, or the Beth Donovan Hospice. Mary will be remembered for the three tenets that guided her life: Faith, Family and Friends, her indomitable spirit and her endearing smile. May She Rest In Peace. CL24722-22-11

LMR is excited to be adding DRYLAND TRAINING to their programming this summer for sports enthusiasts ages 10 to 16. Sports require multiple fitness skills, and whatever your sport may be; hockey, softball, swim or soccer, often fundamental athletic skills are missing from the overall training program such as balance, core strength, quickness, agility and power. Country Boot-Camps....Clean-Dirty-Fun for all ages! We like to call these workouts “clean dirty fun” because each and every workout appeals to our sense of play and adventure. Rain or shine, you will love how your fitness level increases and you’ll also love the deep sense of accomplishment. Registration date is Saturday May 28, 2011 at 10677 Loughlin Ridge Road, Mountain.
