A working trip taking aerial photographs of the North Grenville area ended with a plane crash on Friday, July 1.

The two men flying in the plane scrambled out of the small 1972 Cessna CEFFNA Cardinal after it had flipped upside down in a farmer’s field west of Kemptville and east of Tamarack circle, south of County Road 43.

The Kemptville Fire Department was called to the site of the plane crash at around 4:30 p.m. but was asked to stand down from the call before they could get to the crash site. According to the O.P.P. the plane was taking aerial photographs. Both the photographer and pilot were from Quebec.

Beatrice and Winston Sheppard live near where the light plane landed. They recall hearing the sound of the plane’s engine cutting out then starting up again and then stopping. The O.P.P. said that the engine had stopped and the pilot was able to successfully start it up again only to have it stop for a second time. The plane was almost able to make a safe landing in the field. The rear wheels hit the ground first and then the nose wheel. The nose wheel collapsed and the plane flipped over.

The Sheppards rushed to the plane and saw there were two men getting out of it. A neighbour, a paramedic, was also able to get to the plane and looked the occupants over. The two men, in their mid-30s, were taken to the Kemptville District Hospital and later released.

Most North Grenville residents know of the Ferguson Forest Centre (FFC), the tree nursery that stretches from the Rideau River to County Road 43, bound

by County Road 44 and the Kemptville Creek.

At 1,000 acres, it’s hard to miss.

But few are aware that five of those acres are set aside as a butternut archive to help the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) improve disease resistance in butternut trees, a species nearly driven to extinction by cankers.

Or that, in partnership with the State University of New York, FFC tests cloned willows to determine whether they are hardy enough to survive in northern climates.

FFC also harvests bales of hybrid poplar and willow trees as part of a Canadian Forest Service biomass planting project. It is hoped that the bales can be used for power generation and to create biofuels that will replace the corn-based ethanol fuel in use today. Cellulose products yield a much higher volume of biofuel than corn products, meaning the future of clean energy may be found in the forest.

“If they can get (the process) perfected, it’s got a much higher potential for improving our natural resources” and saving the best land for growing food, chief operating officer Ed Patchell told North Grenville council and staff, along

with FFC directors and a representative from the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville, during a recent site visit.

These research projects aren’t profitable – in fact, the centre loses money on them – but scientific outreach is part of FFC’s mandate as a not-for-profit entity, Patchell said. The centre reinvests most of its $1.3 to $1.5 million annual sales revenue into research and charitable causes, such as the Christmas trees donated to the Lions.

“The philosophy is, you invest and improve the forest, and what comes out of that is your profit,” explained board president John Wilson.

FFC sells between 2.5 to 3 million trees each year, making it the top nursery east of Peterborough, and one of two provincial powerhouses. Businesses, landowners and government agencies typically buy in bulk, while the public can purchase individual seedlings or potted trees for their gardens.

Patchell said he has shipped trees as far as Korea, but most of the 350 million trees sold since the centre opened in 1945 have taken root in eastern Ontario.

Many are used to reforest provincial land, including the two million trees the centre currently contributes annually to a government-supported program to plant 50 million trees by 2020.

FFC leases 300 acres from the municipality, most of which is used to grow seedlings. But the centre also encompasses roughly 700 acres of forested Crown lands, through which wind sev-

eral kilometers of multi-purpose trails, including a 2.3 km walking trail with information points to educate hikers about regional forests.

Wilson is working with North Grenville’s planning director and chief trail enthusiast Forbes Symon to link FFC’s trails to Old Town Kemptville and bring the trail system up to provincial standards through increased signage.

“I know every blade of grass in this place,” said Mayor David Gordon, who has walked his dogs in the forest centre for years.

Also on the docket for FFC is a proposed arboretum planned for a 25 acre plot north of the wastewater treatment plant. The arboretum would be a permanent, “quiet use” forest and recreation area with gardens, paths, and benches shaded by an assortment of local trees.

“We will be highlighting native plants.

That’s out specialty,” Wilson said. He hopes to find sponsors and community groups to care for the gardens.

“We’re hoping to make this a real community project,” he said. “It is such a beautiful area that we’d like to see if we can share it with everyone.”

FFC management is anxiously awaiting word as to the fate of ten acres of municipal land adjacent to the wastewater treatment plant. The land has remained underutilized while the municipality decides whether to build equalization ponds to collect excess water when the plant is at capacity.

That decision is many months away.

Making a difference

It does not take much to create a kind of momentum that can do good things in the world.

Whenever local high school and elementary school students are asked about how they felt about their charitable projects they invariably say something along the line that they wanted to make a difference somewhere in the world and this was their attempt to do that.

The Seeds for Peace campaign at the Winchester Public School and Sarah’s Hope at the North Grenville District High School all have had an impact on others far outside their respective municipal boundaries.

The Seeds for Peace project has elementary school children sending packages of sunflower seeds to such far away places as Iran, Afghanistan and South Africa.

The idea is that school children at the other ends of the seed exchange will plant the sunflowers, tend them and then harvest the seeds to send back to Canada.

The project is simple, and sincere and students are eager to buy into the notion of planting a seed of peace in the minds of their contemporaries across the world.

Who would have thought that students from Winchester could connect with students a world away and get a positive response?

In Kemptville, at the North Grenville District High School, students lend their time, energy and money to Sarah’s Hope. The project sees money raised in North Grenville help children in Kenya.

In both cases young adults wanted to make a difference, somewhere, somehow, and they found a way with give back, with help from teachers and parents who make such programs possible.

Not only have students organized themselves behind good causes here and abroad but they have been able to see and in some cases experience the results of their efforts.

The connections being made between local students and their far away contemporaries are real and do make a difference to both ends of the exchange.

What many of us over the age of 40 may have believed to have been unlikely in the past is now a common occurrence.

All of us can and do make a difference somewhere.

Soaring high above the hit and miss world of politics and diplomacy are the simple desires of those who know they can make a difference in someone elses life.

Our younger counterparts are finding out that they do have an effect on others.

COLUMN

The good news and the bad about the arts in Canada Summer is the right time for a look at the good, the bad and, yes, the ugly in the Canadian arts.

First the good: Last week, during the Ottawa International Jazz Festival, a band of young musicians rehearsed in the theatre of Library and Archives Canada, as part of the TD Jazz Youth Summit. The 17 players, high school, university and college students, were brought together from across the country. Later, they would present two concerts on the festival’s main stage.

Three seasoned pros, all Canadians, worked with them as they struggled to learn a difficult composition, Transit, by Darcy James Argue. The band’s musical director, Jim Lewis, a Toronto trumpeter, composer and teacher, welcomed Argue, who is originally from Vancouver but now leads a New York-based band.

One of his trumpet players, Ingrid Jensen, who is also originally from B.C., also pitched in, as well as playing fiery trumpet solos. The guidance was in part technical but also general – it was about breathing, it was about not playing timidly, it was about projecting authority and it was enjoyed by both sides. “I’m very appreciative of you guys playing my music,” Argue told them.

By the end of the 90-minute rehearsal,

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town the piece was sounding almost as professional as it would sound later that night, when Argue’s own band, the Secret Society, played it in Confederation Park.

Here was the Canadian arts scene at its best, the essential components being talented young performers, dedicated mentors and generous funders. In varying degrees it can be found across the spectrum of the arts in this country. In music, theatre, dance and writing, more and more young Canadians are emerging as impressive performers, ready to take their place in the professional ranks.

Here’s the bad: Once they get to the professional ranks, they find they can’t make a living. The same day the young jazz musicians were rehearsing in Ottawa, the SummerWorks Theatre Festival in Toronto was facing a significant

loss of government grants. The federal Heritage Department’s rejection letter to SummerWorks was particularly ominous. It said it was looking for “tangible results, which contribute to program objectives; provide the best possible value for money; and meet the needs of Canadians.” This is great. Government is quantifying art, looking at plays and music and paintings to see if they produce tangible results that contribute to program objectives. I think that’s one play you don’t want to see.

Meanwhile, the federal finance minister, James Flaherty, was warning cultural institutions not to count on government grants. And of course they shouldn’t, but anybody who thinks the arts in this country can operate without help from government and corporate donors doesn’t know much about how the arts work, not only here but all over the world.

The unfortunate thing, here and all over the world, is that the people buying tickets, CDs, books and paintings, do not provide enough revenue to keep the culture going. That’s the ugly part. The ugly part is us. Those of us who have money to spare, spend thousands on elaborate electronics and home theatre systems and, relatively speaking, virtu-

ally nothing on going out to see live music and theatre. Festival season may be an exception. People seem capable of venturing out of the house if someone is putting on a festival nearby. Tickets and passes are relatively cheap, helped by the grants that cultural institutions are told not to count on any more. But once the summer is over, we go back inside, turn on the home entertainment system, download music for free and leave the artists to fend for themselves. As anyone who has seen Canadian young people perform knows, we are doing a terrific job of raining young artists. But we are doing a terrible job of supporting them.

Some of that is government’s fault, but a lot of it is ours.

How to tame a feral kitten I have too many kittens in my barn. I need to adopt some of them out and get the rest spayed or neutered. Here’s the problem.

They’re wilder than Tarzan’s ape. Lucky for me, You can learn how to do almost anything on the Internet.

I googled “how to tame a feral kitten” and found some good advice.

My kittens look tame enough.

They sit there all doe-eyed, fluffy and innocent looking, until you get close enough to touch. Then they either dart off to freedom or, if backed into a corner, they become a hissing, spitting ball of fur, claws and razor-sharp teeth. I have learned that if you wear rubberized gardening gloves, a long-sleeved shirt and a modicum of bravery however, you can sneak up on the little fur balls while they are eating or sleeping and quickly stuff them into a waiting cat carrier.

I feel a bit like the scary old man on the movie Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, who drove around with a cage full of children that he had kidnapped. I go into the barn and come out with a cage full of mewing kittens. The adult cats just stare at me. I wonder if they are thinking, “Oh thank goodness, I don’t have to feed them anymore,” or if they are really worried about where I am taking their babies. In any case, they don’t seem to have much of a reaction.

According to the advisory page that I found on the Internet, I am to enclose the kittens in a small room. I normally use the

Ready For Picking

places are out of my reach, however, so I can catch them if need be. Two of the kittens still have the eye infections that many barn kitties get. I need to be able to catch and treat them. It will be much easier now that they are in a room and cannot get away from me.

Apparently I am not to attempt to touch the wildest of the feral kitties for the first couple of days. I can go into their room, sit amongst them and cuddle the more tame kittens. I can put a small towel over one of the timid kittens, pull it into my lap and pet it until it gets used to me, but I cannot go chasing the kittens that are hiding. If I have to catch one for any reason, I must bring my arm around behind them because they perceive an approaching hand as a threat.

Also, I must not make too much eye contact. Kittens prefer it if you avert your eyes. That is less threatening to them.

They have a kitty litter station, a bubbling self-watering bowl and a continuous supply of kitty food. I have scattered “toys” (anything that scoots or rolls across the floor when batted with a paw) over the floor and padded the various boxes, carriers and futon with soft, worn towels. It’s kitty heaven down there. I hope they appreciate it. The goal is to get them all tame, so I can adopt them out to good homes. And yes, the Farmer is wondering why his Farmwife has suddenly turned into the Crazy Cat Lady of O’Neill Road.

Winchester Public School students have seen first hand that what they believe in and do does make a difference.

It has been almost a year since the idea of sending packets of sunflower seeds around the world became a special project by students at the school. The project is called the Seeds for Peace campaign.

On Thursday, June 23 the school’s students watched a slide show of students in Kabul Afghanistan at the Sayed Jamaluden primary school planting the seeds that Winchester students had sent them.

The seeds were brought to Afghanistan by the wife of that country’s ambassador to Canada.

The idea for the project came about as part of the many interesting ideas for students generated by the school’s educational

Kristie Bredfeldt believes in living her life as it happens.

So when the notion of trying out for Miss Ottawa 2011 came about, she did not hesitate.

Now she is on her way to Miss Canada International.

The pageant is more about who a person is than what they look like, and because of that philosophy Bredfeldt decided to take a chance and compete.

Two years into an archeology degree at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Bredfeldt decided she wanted time to consider her options. She took a year off, and was hired by the Osgoode Township Historical Museum as its assistant museum manager.

“I had worked at the museum as a summer student,” she said.

Keeping up her connection with the rural museum turned out to be a great choice.

From archeology to the Miss Canada International Pageant is an interesting story.

“I had been interesting in mod-

eling,” explains Bredfeldt. She came across an opportunity to compete in Miss Ottawa 2011. The competition involved telephone interviews as opposed to the traditional beauty pageant process.

She won that competition, which set her up to take part in Miss Canada International in Toronto from June 30 to July 9.

“This is a scholarship pageant,” explained Bredfeldt. There is no bikini contest, and prize money funds the winner’s education.

All of the contestants take part in the Teddy Bears of Hope project. Participants collect teddy bears as well as any stories that go along with them. The winner of the pageant will travel around the world with Teddy Bears of Hope founder Sylvia Stark.

The project delivers teddy bears to children around the world who need that special comfort that only a teddy bear can bring. More than 90,000 bears have been sent to Africa and last year 74,000 teddy bears were delivered to Afghanistan.

Next year, Bredfeldt will attend Algonquin College in Ottawa for applied museum studies.

The summer storm that rumbled through the Ottawa area last week arrived with thousands of lighting strikes.

Five Ottawa homes were singled out by Mother Nature to be hit by lightning.

North Grenville was not left out of the storm’s path. Heavy rains, thunder and lightning were part of the same weather system that converged on the Ottawa Valley on June 28.

A North Grenville couple eating their supper Tuesday evening were treated to a close up look at what lightning can do.

Gerry and Pat Gannon were enjoying their dinner and watching the approaching storm from their enclosed dining room at the back of their home. The couple lives just north of the Rideau River along River Road halfway between Burritts Rapids and Kemptville.

At around 7:30 p.m. a tree on their property was hit by lightning. The explosion was so loud their entire neighbourhood cane out to see what had happened. One of their trees, close to 100 feet high, had been hit by lightning and split down the middle.

The layer of bark all around the tree was sent hundreds of feet in the

JOSEPH MORIN AND J.P. ANTONACCI

June 29 was a day of fond farewells and new beginnings as two North Grenville high schools held their commencement ceremonies.

At North Grenville District High School, 107 graduates – including 29 Ontario scholars – received their diplomas inside a gymnasium full of cheering relatives and friends.

UCDSB superintendent David Coombs, who presented his son Paul with his diploma, jokingly told the graduates that their proud parents were also relieved that their children made it through high school.

“Now would be an excellent time to ask them for money,” he quipped.

Principal Steve Sharp praised his students’ school spirit and commitment to each other, as well as their leadership in promoting human rights and the environment. “Have no doubt – you are our hope,” Sharp said.

Valedictorian Samantha Yee won’t soon forget her graduation day. Along with academic awards in math and chemistry, the Ontario Scholar received the Governor General’s Bronze Medallion for the top academic average, the Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario Volunteer Award, and the UCDSB Character Always award. That was on top of the Gary Bowlby Leadership in Athletics award she took home at the athletic awards banquet.

In a humble and heartfelt speech, Yee paid tribute to her classmates’ talents and

“Every knight who has walked through these halls has made a distinct mark, which contributes to how our graduating class will be remembered,” she said.

Yee told her classmates that “it’s okay to make mistakes” as long as they take responsibility for them and learn from them.

On behalf of all the graduates, she thanked parents, family, friends and teachers “for their gifts, inspiration, patience and the doors they have helped us open,” and joked that the students learned from each other despite the “sauna-like atmosphere due to no air conditioning” in the

venerable school building.

Family, accomplishments and the joy of learning were the main themes of the 2011 valedictorian speech given by Emily York at the St. Michael Catholic High School graduation ceremony.

One hundred and thirty-five students came to the end of their high school experience. The gymnasium of the high school was packed with more than 400 friends and family as the graduates went up on stage to receive their diplomas.

A recording made by the school’s chamber choir and band announced the graduates as they took their place at the front of

the gymnasium. Two St. Michael students created a first rate video which captured the high school experience through the eyes of the graduating students.

Having spent her school years in Kemptville attending Holy Cross Catholic School and then St. Michael, York has been able to take in the big picture when it comes to her education.

“I can remember when we all first came to high school and we tried to hide our differences,” recalls York. “Later we realized that our differences were our strengths.”

She told her fellow students gathered for the graduation that their school was ranked number one. “That will only mean something if we do something with it,” she said.

York’s high school experience included being part of a generation of students who have become truly global in their world perspective. “We live in Kemptville but we are part of a global community,” she said. She thanked her high school for creating opportunities for herself and fellow students to take part in such projects as their trip to Cuernavaca, Mexico, where the students had a hard look at the poverty there.

In September, York is heading off to St. Paul’s University to study ethics.

This year’s graduating class included 22 students who were given French certificates. There were 60 Ontario Scholars and 34 Honour Cord recipients. The Honour Cord is awarded to students who keep their academic average at 80 per cent or more for the four years of their schooling.

A/C Evacuation & Recharge Service The function of an air conditioner is to help remove the heat and humidity from inside the passenger compartment of the vehicle.

Powered by a belt, the air conditioning compressor compresses the refrigerant to pressurize it and pump it through the system. The refrigerant is pushed through a valve where pressure and temperature are reduced. The now-cool refrigerant travels through the evaporator in the passenger compartment. As a result, cooled air is blown into your vehicle. This refrigerant returns to the compressor where the cycle begins once again.

• visually inspect the air conditioning compressor drive belt for cracks or damage • visually inspect accessible components for leaks or damage • check the operation of the air conditioning compressor and other air conditioning components • evacuate refrigerant from the system • vacuum test the system • recharge the air conditioning system using the appropriate refrigerant to the system capacity according to the vehicle manufactuer’s specifications

Community LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Thanks to the troops

you have represented us.

Words are not enough to convey how grateful we are for their commitment and dedication. As a national endeavour, I am encouraging local branches to hold appreciation events for veterans of the Afghanistan mission this coming August, in order to remember those who have fallen, thank those who have returned and to celebrate how proud you and your families have made us to be Canadian.

As the combat mission in Afghanistan transitions into other military activities, The Royal Canadian Legion would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to those service men and women, and their families, who have served with distinction and sacrificed on behalf of Canadians during these past several years. Their contribution to the well-being and care of another country’s populace is a tremendous reflection of Canada’s efforts toward maintaining global peace and we are proud of the way

Patricia Varga Dominion President The Royal Canadian Legion

No excuse for a lack of manners back. I saw them coming, and they also saw me. They ran across the highway and kept going. I started after them, but at 59 years young, I am not as physically fit as I once was.

I followed them all the way to the school, but they disappeared into the crowd. I asked some students if they knew their names, but no one seemed to know them.

These young boys know

who they are and I hope they feel some guilt.

I could have been seriously injured, if the plum had been one or two inches higher.

I hope this is not the start of things to come from our young men and women of the town, province and country.

Stephen Morris from Oxford Mills won the Non Pro, Intermediate Non Pro, Limited Non-Pro and Prime Time Non Pro at the Kemptville Slide Reining Show June 18.

The Trophy is a Morrison Bronze, thanks to Henry & Lian Roche from Majestic Horses for sponsoring the Non Pro Class, named for the sculptor. He was riding EPR Duns N Trouble (aka Cooter), a six-yearold Quarter Horse gelding by Buenochexinic out of a daughter of Hollywood Dun It. Stephen Morris trains with Gaetan Gauthier his friend and client for over 30 years.

The 9th Annual Kemptville Slide Reining Show, a NRHA & ORHA Sanctioned show was held at the A.M.

that they are being thought of even in countries far way such as Canada.

“We want them to remember that we remember them and that we want to help them participate with us in something that can bring them hope.”

Watching the slide show of the students in Afghanistan colouring their seed packets was a thrill for the Winchester students.

“The kids at our end got to see the other children doing it,” explained Arsenault. The message was clear: We all want peace, we hear you and you are not alone.

The students in Winchester planted a tree of peace and laid a commemorative marble stone out-

side their school after the presentation. The stone was donated by Upper Canada Granite and Stone and states, “Peace in the community; Peace in the family; Peace in the world; and Peace in our hearts.”

There is also an engraving of a dove.

This project, along with several others initiated by Arsenault, is designed to help students connect with the world.

Through the various projects involving seeds he wants to hopefully install a sense of wonder and respect for gardening as well as for children to understand the peace and health that can be achieved through taking up gardening as a hobby.

Continued from page 7 When the students were finished, the packets were sent to Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan and South Africa.

Once they arrive, the Winchester students hope they will be planted and when they are grown the resulting sunflower seeds will be sent back to Canada.

“Spreading the seeds is an important symbolic gesture and a first step in achieving peace in countries affected by war,” said Arsenault. “It will create a link between different cultures by sharing a common bond – the joy of nurturing life,” he added.

He believes that children in war torn parts of the world need to be reminded

The past school year was a busy and successful one for St. Michael High School athletes.

The school had three LGSSAA volleyball championships, exciting track and field, cross country and wrestling achievements and results through out the year.

Lara Aleinik was presented with the Junior Female Athlete of the Years Award. Aleinik’s positive attitude and outstanding teamwork were just some of the reasons why she was given the award.

Aleinik was a key player on the LGSSAA champion junior girls volleyball team and a strong contributor to the senior girls soccer EOSSAA championship.

The Junior Male Athlete of the Year is Eric Cornel. Noted for his skill and ability as a hockey player, Cornel proved to be

a standout player on the junior volleyball and basketball courts.

The OFSAA Colin Hood Awards are presented to a male and female athlete who are graduating with an above average academic standing and have participated in a minimum of three different sports throughout their high school career.

The award winners should be leaders in all aspects of the school setting and provide a positive presence in their school and community. St. Michael’s Colin Hood Award winners for 2010-2011 were Meghan van der Heyden and Drake Levere.

The Commitment to Sport Award went to James Papatzimas. This award recognizes a graduating student who has contributed to the betterment of athletics at St. Michael.

In addition to his contribution to the soccer team as one of the most dangerous

strikers in Eastern Ontario, Papatzimas has volunteered as a minor official in nearly every sport offered at St. Mike’s.

He also completed a successful term as the Athletic Council President.

Graduating student Jessica Graham received the Senior Female Athlete of the Year. Graham was a versatile basketball player, a fearsome hitter on the volleyball court, a successful badminton partner, and a major portion of the defensive backbone of a championship soccer team that didn’t allow a single goal in LGSSAA and EOSSAA competition.

Drake Levere is the Senior Male Athlete of the Year. Levere bypassed most junior sports at St. Mike’s and spent the majority of his four-year high school career as a senior athlete.

In basketball, this past season, he was voted one of the top five players in LGSSAA by the league’s coaches. Levere was also an outstanding volleyball player,

contributing to the school’s first LGSSAA AA senior championship in that sport.

He might be best known for his prolific scoring touch on the soccer pitch, helping to lead his team to back to back OFSAA soccer appearances in the past two years.

The coaching staff also honoured one of their own at the assembly. Sheri Camillone received OFSAA’s Colin Hood Award for Coaching.

OFSAA’s criteria for the award requires that the winner be an active teacher-coach at the high school level who understands the value of school sport involvement, has coached multiple sports, has coached for a minimum of five years, is a leader in all aspects of the school setting, and has a strong presence in the school and community.

DON MERCER Associate Professor, Food Science Kemptville Campus University of Guelph

The coming of the hot weather means that berry season has arrived–first strawberries, then raspberries and blueberries, just to mention a few. These will be followed by peaches and other fruits. Fortunately for us, this provides the chance to prepare delicious homemade jams and jellies.

In jam-making, one of the questions that frequently arises is, “Why do I need all this sugar?” Many people seem to view sugar as something evil and want to avoid it as an unnecessary source of calories, or a threat to their health. However, don’t be too quick to condemn it just yet.

The thing to keep in mind is that sugar is essential for successful jam-making.

Cutting down on the sugar in a jam recipe is just asking for failure. You will end up with a runny mess to show for all your work. While it is true that sugar contributes to the sweetness of the jam, it does much more than that.

A typical batch of cooked strawberry jam may call for about four cups of mashed berries, a few tablespoons of lemon juice, and as much as seven cups of sugar. Once these have been brought to a boil, some form of liquid or crystal pectin product is blended thoroughly into the mixture before filling the jars and sealing them.

Let’s take a look at the role of each ingredient in strawberry jam to get a better understand what’s actually happening.

The function of the fruit itself should be rather obvious, so we don’t need to worry too much about that aspect.

Strawberries contain about 90 per cent water by weight. When sugar is added to the mashed berries, it dissolves in the strawberry juice. Once a sufficiently high concentration has been reached, some rather interesting reactions begin to take place between the sugar and the water inside the fruit. The sugar draws water out of the fruit and forms chemical bonds which “bind” the water molecules to the sugar molecules. The bound water is held so tightly that it is no longer available to support the growth of many types of microorganisms. In this way, sugar acts as a means of preservation against future microbial growth problems.

Sugar also helps in the development of flavour and texture. For me, a favourite way to enjoy this flavour is with homemade strawberry jam and Devon cream on freshly baked scones.

Pectin, generally the last ingredient added to the jam mixture, is obtained from the peels of citrus fruits, especially oranges. It can also be extracted from the fleshy part of apples left after the apples have been squeezed to remove their juice.

Pectin itself is a large molecular compound which is capable of forming bonds

with other pectin molecules to form a gel under certain conditions. It is these conditions which we want to optimize when making jam. With the sugar binding much of the water in the fruit, the pectin can then form a gel with the proper strength to create the desired texture in the jam.

If too much water is present, the pectin cannot form a strong enough gel which results in a runny texture. This is why the sugar is so important, since it is responsible for taking care of the water by chemically binding it and effectively preventing it from reacting with anything else in the jam mixture.

The lemon juice helps ensure that there is sufficient acidity in the jam to promote the formation of gels by the pectin. The abundance of sugar helps mask the sour taste of the citric acid found in the lemon juice.

For those who are concerned about the sugar levels in various jams and jellies, forms of pectin have been developed that can function with more water present.

These are typically marketed as “light” products and can reduce the calorie content of jams by as much as one-third.

Whatever pectin product you use, be sure to follow the instructions carefully and do not make any unrecommended adjustments. Of course, cleaning all your jars and good sanitation practices are important parts of the jam-making process as well.

Beware fraudulent public health inspectors STAFF Someone is impersonating a health inspector and contacting local food premises, reports the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit. These imposters telephone the premises to schedule an inspection, requesting detailed business and personal information from the owner/operator, and requiring a return call to confirm the personal information through the use of a unique code number.

“We do not conduct business this way,” said Jane Lyster, Director of Health Protection with the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit. “We encourage local residents and business owners not to be fooled by these phony inspectors.”

This has also been happening in other areas around the province, said the OPP. The impersonation of a public officer is a criminal offence.

Please be advised that Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit inspectors will not call a business to book an appointment, nor will inspectors issue an inspection number or require businesses to call back to confirm appointments. They will not ask for personal or financial information about the business or the owner.

If business owners encounter a public health inspector they have not met before or they are unsure of their identity, they should ask for proper identification signed by a Medical Officer of Health. All inspectors carry photo identification.

If you receive a call from a purported inspector, do not give out any personal or business information, and report the incident to Fraud Busters or the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501 or info@antifraudcentre.ca.

smith demonstrations, displays of armour, shields and weapons and children’s games will keep the family entertained on July 9 and 10, beginning at 9:30 a.m. each day.

At 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, King Tracey Howe and his wife Queen Gainer – wellknown community members chosen to rule the Kingdom of Osgoode this year – will provide courtly entertainment with a story teller and medieval music at the community centre before the royal feast begins.

Unfortunately for the royal couple, each of the four annual festivals has been marred by a royal assassination, usually after the knighting ceremony that honours a special community member on Sunday.

Last year, the king was murdered by a female assassin who couldn’t allow him to live since he brought in the HST. Tickets for the royal feast are $45 in advance or $50 at the door for adults, and $30 in advance and $35 at the door for children.

No medieval festival is complete without a wedding, and Lady Lisa Martineau and Lord Todd McCooeye will oblige on Saturday as they wed in full medieval garb.

For the past two years, the couple has been participating in a traditional handfasting ceremony that legally marries them for a year and a day. On July 9, they will marry for good in the spirit of the theme that brought them together in the first place.

Lords and ladies, maidens and princes, knights and even commoners are invited to the fourth annual medieval festival in Osgoode this July.

Beginning Friday, July 8 with an education day for kids and families, the festival runs the gamut of medieval activities from sword fighting, dancing and jousting to eating an entire feast with a single utensil.

“Last year some people snuck in cutlery, and we told the king and queen on them and they were brought to justice,” explained festival organizer Judy Carey, who said real medieval feasters usually just used a knife to stab their food. This year only spoons are allowed.

The Knights of Valour, a troupe of professional jousters, will entertain the crowds with several competitions throughout the weekend. “This is not pretend; whatever happens happens,” Carey said.

Jousting competitions have changed greatly since twelfth century Europe. “In the olden days, if you lost a joust you lost your lance, your land, your horse and your armour. They were a big deal,” she said.

For $5, visitors can enjoy the many spectacles set up beside the Osgoode village square across from the community centre.

Young Manotick author becomes a bestseller J.P. ANTONACCI jp.antonacci@metroland.com

When we first met Tommy and Melanie Glatzmayer in late February, they were visiting Kemptville Public School to read from Melanie & Tommy have two pet rats and one syndrome, the children’s book Tommy wrote with his mother, Nathalie Wendling.

Helped by their two pet rats, 8-year-old Tommy and 11-year-old Melanie – who has a rare genetic condition called Cornelia de Lange Syndrome (CdLS) – crash their car and get into other hair-raising adventures, but still manage to finish their chores on time.

Students at KPS enjoyed meeting Tommy and Melanie, learning about CdLS, and most of all, getting up close and personal with those enterprising rats.

Since then, the Manotick residents have appeared on TV and radio shows, held book signings throughout Ottawa in conjunction with the Children’s Miracle Network and CHEO, and even launched a line of plush rats and Tommy and Melanie dolls.

The book Tommy wrote to educate his classmates so they would stop teasing his sister has become a bestseller.

Through sales at Ottawa-area bookstores and hospitals across Canada, and online orders through their website, www.2petrats.com, the family has sold 6,000 copies of their self-published book

in less than one year.

The book is now available in hard cover, and a French version translated by the children’s grandfather, René Wendling, will arrive this fall Customers include school libraries, adoring young fans, and parents of children with autism, Down syndrome, and any number of conditions that are hard for young people to understand.

Wendling heard of one young boy who was inspired by Tommy’s book to make a presentation to his classmates about his sibling with autism.

“I get so many of these crazy stories, I just sit down and bawl,” she said.

Wendling said the experience has been positive for Melanie too. Once other children understand why Melanie still wears diapers and can only speak a few words, they often go out of their way to include her in games at recess and at the park.

She can now go to birthday parties and even sleepovers, which her mother said was unthinkable even a few years ago.

“In kindergarten Melanie was terrified of people. She would almost pass out during attendance when too many students would look at her,” Wendling said.

“This past Monday, they were asked to speak at a fundraising golf tournament for Children’s Miracle Network in front of over 1,000 people. It was so perfect.”

At assemblies, after students learn about the care and feeding of pet rats, they usually want to know more about

Tommy Glatzmayer (seated, left) and his sister Melanie (seated, right) visited Oxford on Rideau Public School with their pet rats, Ninja and Smokey, for a book reading on June 17. (Left to right) Students Bryanna, Graham, Emma, and Brad enjoyed the story. the syndrome, and how Tommy felt when people made fun of his sister.

That kind of learning is invaluable for children and adults alike, Wendling thinks.

Tommy, Melanie and the rats are eagerly preparing for a trip to New Jersey next month to meet some new friends.

“The Grade 4 class at Shongun School in Randolph, New Jersey, sent fan mail.

We were so excited, we wanted to meet them,” Wendling explained.

Then the courageous siblings will return to Manotick to reflect on an incredible year and go on new adventures with their furry friends.
