Kemptville’s library, which opened in 1912, was one of 125 Canadian public libraries to receive a Carnegie construction grant, though the donation of $3,000 was close to, if not the smallest, amount Carnegie donated to a single library. Most Carnegie libraries in Canada – nearly all of them located in Ontario – received
between $6,000 and $15,000. The municipality designated the building’s exterior a heritage structure in 2001, and Brown confirmed that designation will remain in effect. This means that while the new owner can change the interior, passersby will still recognize the century-old building.

A branch of hope STAFF Ryan’s Well won’t run dry this summer, thanks to the staff and customers at the branch restaurant. For every glass of water served this month at the restaurant at 15 Clothier St. E. in Kemptville, guests are encouraged to donate 25¢ towards the Ryan’s Well Foundation. The branch will match all donations. Since 1998, when Kemptville Grade 1 student Ryan Hreljac began to raise money to help those without access to clean water, the foundation has built 682 water projects and 821 latrines, bringing safe water and improved sanitation to over 700,000 people. In Feb. 2010, Ryan’s Well representatives travelled to Uganda with professional photographer Lesley Marino, who photographed the people and communities that benefit from the group’s sanitation projects. Marino’s incredible photos tell stories of heartbreak and resilience, and are on display throughout the month of August at the branch. Marino herself will be at a special public reception on Aug. 23 from 5 to 8 p.m. All are welcome. For more details, contact the branch at 258-3737.

“Today we are building a very strong awareness of the Route – the only world heritage site in Ontario,” said town councillor and RHRTA board member Terry Butler. At Monday’s meeting, Butler told council that North Grenville was well represented in the RHRTA delegation at the Rideau Canal Festival in Ottawa from July 28 to Aug. 1. The group talked to
several hundred day trippers – the majority from western Quebec – about tourism possibilities in North Grenville.

Tourists exploring the Rideau Heritage Route now have a place to kick off their traveling shoes and learn about the many attractions North Grenville has to offer. Mayor David Gordon and members of council and staff unveiled a new tourism kiosk at the entrance to the Ferguson Forest Centre, (FCC) last week. The new kiosk is located at the north end of the Municipal Centre parking lot, near a shady patch of grass where FFC will soon set up picnic tables for travelers deciding which nearby sites to visit. The stretch of Highway 44 that goes through Kemptville is part of the Rideau Heritage Route, which made North Grenville eligible for the Rideau Heritage Route Tourism Association (RHRTA) kiosk program. The idea is that travelers can enjoy a layover in Kemptville and the surrounding area before continuing up to Ottawa or west to the canal locks at Burritt’s Rapids and Merrickville. “The kiosk will act as an information centre for visitors and the community and a great way to welcome visitors to our green and growing community,” said North Grenville economic development coordinator Teri Devine. Along with a map highlighting points of interest along the Rideau Canal, the info board tells visitors about things to see and do in North Grenville, including information on Old Town Kemptville shopping and self-guided heritage tours. Eventually, a map of the trail system will help visitors get off the beaten path, and a community bulletin board and brochure stands will inform locals and tourists of upcoming events. “Tourism development continues to be a priority for this council,” said Mayor David Gordon during the ribbon cutting ceremony on Aug. 8. “(The kiosk) is a great introduction to our green and growing community for visitors traveling the Route,” The new kiosk was designed by Margo Davies Leclair of Visual Sense Illustrations in Lyn, ON, based on her design for a similar kiosk in Seeley’s Bay. The kiosk is one of four planned for the Rideau Heritage Route, with two destined for Smiths Falls, and one for Rideau Lakes. Funding from the Eastern Ontario Development Program subsidized the cost of building materials, and the municipality paid for contractors to install the sign. North Grenville’s kiosk is burgundy, gold and green, the colours of the Rideau Heritage Route.

Patience is the word
Once again our healthcare system has been deemed a failure. A recent national survey, town hall meetings, where the public told of their experience with the healthcare system and online questionnaires, indicate our healthcare machine is broken. Every few years we are told that universal healthcare has failed and perhaps privatization is the answer and each time, almost too late we realize that those who have a vested interest in private healthcare have tried to con us again. Canadian healthcare has never been broken. Like any and all other modern industries or disciplines it is simply evolving. Most of us have had great if not superior experiences with Canadian healthcare. For those who handed in a negative experience on all of those surveys, all we can do is ask them to be patient as the system self corrects. There is absolutely no reason to abandon a universal healthcare system such as we have. However, for those who insist that all is lost and our healthcare system is a waste of time, perhaps they should pay more attention to all of those other reports that somehow tell a vastly different story about our healthcare
system. Locally the Winchester District Memorial Hospital and the Kemptville District Hospital are getting the job done. The Champlain Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) has been investing more and more money into great programs at both hospitals as part of their mandate and as part of a grander plan than the healthcare naysayers want to talk about. Years ago, all levels of government realized that healthcare was like an ever-changing blueprint for a house. The needs, direction, challenges and goals were going to be changing all of the time. As our population changed so did the kind of healthcare we needed and expected. If you take a moment to look at what the various LHINs in Ontario have been up to, you will see that they are well on the way to giving us better healthcare without having to sell the farm. Good healthcare is not only about fixing that broken arm as quickly as possible, it’s also about all of the other cuts and bruises, heart attacks and health issues we all may face in the future. All you need is the time and energy to be patient until the nurse calls your name.

A guest book for the Trans-Canada Highway For the last 20 summers, ever since the train ceased to be an affordable option, we have driven the Trans-Canada Highway across northern Ontario to Kenora and sometimes beyond. It’s a trip not enough people take, as you can tell by the increasing number of closed restaurants, motels and gas stations along the way. Last year’s casualty was the Busy Bee, a homey restaurantgift shop at Nairn Centre, west of Sudbury. This year it’s the Rossport Inn, an adornment to the former fishing village on Lake Superior since 1884. Border hassles and our rising dollar have cut into tourism from the U.S. The economic decline of Northern Ontario, particularly in the pulp and paper towns, is reflected along the highway. Yet it is a highway well worth taking – a very drivable road with many passing lanes and breathtaking views along the north shore of Superior. Fortunately – or not, depending on how you look at it – it is never crowded. Always on the lookout for meaningful trends along the highway, I am somewhat pleased to be able to report that the Ontario government has put shiny new outhouses at rest stops along the highway. Oh, and people painting their

names on rock faces is back. For some reason, the more beautiful the setting, the more people feel a need to make their mark on it. After a while, the writing on the rocks took a back seat to the building of inukshuks. This was nice at first, but got to be a bit annoying. You remember how cute it was back in the 1980s when people began doing The Wave at football, baseball and hockey games. It seemed then like a nice bit of audience participation but the copycat syndrome took over and The Wave became a cliché. You couldn’t escape it. Amazingly, it persists to this day in some backwaters. The inukshuk, a few rocks piled together in a certain way, was a beauti-

ful idea in its original context, but has now become so widely imitated as to become meaningless. Inukshuks are everywhere along the northern Ontario Trans-Canada. Some of them live up to their meaning in Inuit, “in the likeness of a human.” Most of them do not. Most of them look like somebody started to pile up some rocks in a certain way, then get bored and went off to do something else. In the old days, people used to paint their names on the rockfaces along the highway. “Joe loves Irma, July 6, 1978.” This wasn’t pretty and it’s just as well that it doesn’t happen everywhere. On the other hand, the tops of the rockfaces were left pretty much as God made them. Now, it’s pretty well impossible to find a rockface along the Trans Canada Highway that doesn’t have a pile of rocks on top of it. And the piles don’t look like anything except other piles, other clichés. “Joe loves Irma” may be a cliché too, but not to Joe and Irma and at least the painted message allows us to think fond thoughts about the moment they may have had before the paint can came out. Now, bright new fluorescences tell the 2011 story of Joe and Irma and others of

their ilk. Maybe that’s for the best. It’s probably a bit nannyish to worry about piles of rocks falling on somebody’s head (but what a uniquely Canadian story it would be!). The real problem is that there is no longer a rock surface along the Trans-Canada that somebody has not piled rocks on. And how many of them even know why? Since the Ontario government can spend all that money on fancy new outhouses, maybe it can funnel some more funds on finding constructive ways for people to make their mark – a guest book? It’s probably too much to hope that people will some day decide to leave no mark at all.

North Grenville’s green space continues to grow as council approved the creation of Veterans Way Memorial Park at last Monday’s meeting. The 1.176 acre park is located within the Ferguson Forest Centre (FFC) at the northeast corner of County Road 44 and Veterans Way, a roadway lined with trees and plaques describing the military service of 27 North Grenville veterans. According to the site plan prepared by the Veterans Way Memorial Committee, the park will be a “living memorial” that complements Veterans Way, an official Canadian military memorial registered with the Department of National Defence (DND). “This is going to be a wonderful place,” said committee chair Owen Fitz’Gerald. He envisions the park as a place where visitors can quietly reflect on the sacrifice and service of veterans and current members of the armed forces from North Grenville and beyond. The land at the park’s northern end forms a grassy berm that resembles the trenches soldiers climbed over into battle during the First World War. The committee plans to install permanent benches by the entrance, a rest area for hikers along the FFC trails, and a “remembrance garden” which will include a memorial cairn and stone walkway. Three new interlocking flagpoles will replace the existing steel flagpoles, which Fitz’Gerald built himself. One flagpole will fly the Canadian flag, sponsored for $2,000 by the mayor and council in honour of veterans from North Grenville. The second will fly the Royal Union, sponsored by Roy and Cheryl Brown in honour of Roy’s grandfather, Christopher George Brown, an army sergeant major in the First World War, and Cheryl’s father, James Albert Shipman, a Second World War flight sergeant with the Royal Canadian Air Force. Fitz’Gerald will secure sponsorship for the flagpole flying the American flag. The committee also hopes the municipality will formally request that DND donate a decommissioned Canadian
Forces C1 105mm Howitzer for display at the site, an idea that has Mayor David Gordon particularly excited. “I think this is going to be a plus for the municipality,” Gordon said. “Once we get the flags in the ground, you’re going to see everything speed up,” Fitz’Gerald told council. The Veterans Way Memorial Committee was formed in Oct. 2009 with Fitz’Gerald as chair, Roy Brown, Douglas Brunton, Philip White, Tim Sutton from the FFC board of directors, and Joanne Dudka and Ralph Pulfer from the Kemptville branch of the Royal Canada Legion. The committee took their plan to council’s Special Projects Committee, headed by Coun. Terry Butler, which suggested some minor modifications. The mayor thanked the committee and recognized Fitz’Gerald, Brown, Brunton for their many years of dedication to this project. “Without their vision, we wouldn’t have Veterans Way. For your hard work and dedication, I thank you very much,” Gordon said. The forest centre will donate trees and shrubbery and keep the park in a clean, well-maintained state. People hiking the FFC trails can stop at the park, which would be the first part of a visit that would include the planned arboretum and Anniversary Park. Butler says the new park will add value to North Grenville and the Rideau Heritage Route, which passes along County Road 44 past Veterans Way. New signs will direct motorists to visit the park, and from there they can hike the trails and relax in the planned arboretum in the forest centre. “As tourism is, it’ll be good for everybody,” Butler said, as visitors will eat and shop in Old Town, Colonnade and the malls while they’re here. Council also hopes to pave Veterans Way itself within the next few years. Staff will find out whether the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario can contribute some money toward the paving, since their school buses use the road daily to drop off students at St. Michael CHS. The new park will be officially dedicated at a ceremony this fall.

Champlain LHIN meets in Kemptville JOSEPH MORIN joe.morin@metroland.com
Programs to help seniors get out of the hospital sooner and back home faster are starting to work. Projects to get more patient information into the hands of doctors are about to bear fruit. Our healthcare planners are connecting with the communities they serve. On Wednesday, August 10 the board of directors of the Champlain Local Integrated Health Networks, (LHIN) held a regular board meeting at the Purvis Hall on the University of Guelph Kemptville Campus. The meeting included updates about how the eHealth Strategic Plan was coming along and as well as new information about the ongoing Alternate Level of Care program that LHIN is driving. Both projects are designed to help meet
the challenge of reducing wait times and maximizing a patients level of care. In a presentation to the board of directors, about the Alternate Level of Care, Alex Munter, Champlain LHIN CEO explained that more seniors are getting out of a hospital bed and getting home or finding a bed in a long-term care facility. The point of he Alternate Level of Care project is to do just that. “We want seniors to be as healthy as possible in their own homes,” said Munter. He pointed out that for seniors, maintaining a measure of independence was crucial. “The healthcare system has to support that,” he explained. The strategy of the LHIN is to get the existing healthcare system to look at what they do regarding seniors a bit differently than in the past. The strategy includes: • Mobilizing leaders to achieve re-
Letter to the Editor In response to Angie Shamaoun’s and Christine Stowar Hunter letters to the editor, we too have this problem. Victoria Parks’ cat problem is out of control in other areas of Kemptville as well! Our neighbour lets her cats and dog use our property as their personal pottie. We have to licence our dog but due to a lack of a by-law, cats are free to roam at will. The cats seem to be fending for themselves most of the time. In this heat, this would to seem to be cruelty to animals. The cats and the dog run across the street and do their business in our flower beds, under our sunroom and other places in our yard and then run back across the street. We have been awakened late at night by this dog barking at the cats as they merrily played and pooped in our yard and the owner standing by the gate into our yard watching them. We too, would like to know what

gives this person the right to let her animals roam at will on other people’s property. We have spoken to her and she seems to think it is a big joke. Other neighbours around us either own cats or dogs. You will never hear these dogs barking or their cats on other people’s property. These are caring and responsible pet owners. We are a dog owner and our dog is under control at all times. It is time that she show respect for her neighbours’ property and keep all her animals where they should be...on her property!! We are tired of cleaning up after her cats and dog. If a person cannot control their animals then they should not be pet owners. It is not fair to the animals and certainly causes animosity between neighbours. George and Ingrid Clark Kemptville

“Hilarious laugh-a-minute farce!”
Cornwall
The progress on the eHealth Strateg Plan has been good explained Glen Alexander who is the LHIN chief information officer. The project o find a way to collect and make available medical records has been a complicated and difficult task. “I am excited about it,” said Alexander “We will be the first to test out the diabetic registry,” he explained. The goal of the electronic gathering project is to make lab and drug information available in a timely fashion to healthcare providers.
Alexander said the project is going as planned. “Over 240 clinicians and support staff have been given access,” he said. The next step is involving three community organizations or healthcare facilities in the project and finally, by the Fall of 2011 have 10 community based providers connected. Once this part of he plan has been implemented the LHIN expects patients to need fewer lab tests, that same test information will be available to more healthcare providers and sharing the information will help increase the effectiveness of monitoring a patient’s progress. The board chair of the Champlain LHIN, Dr. Keon was pleased with the meeting saying he was happy to be able to bring the meeting to the North Grenville community. “We are doing this more and more,” he said.

North Grenville council has approved the 2011 levy for the Old Town Kemptville Business Improvement Area (BIA) in the amount of $7,500. This amount is unchanged from 2010. The levy is an annual tax collected from the businesses in the BIA, based on property value assessments. The 2011 levy will be collected from 57 commercial properties in Old Town at a rate of $84.11 per $100,000 of assessed value. The levy represents 100 per cent of the
BIA budget, said chair Su Sally. The BIA markets Old Town to shoppers and tourists and works with the municipality to make improvements to building façades. In 2010, the BIA was expanded from its original boundaries of Prescott Street between Elizabeth Street and the Kemptville Creek to include businesses on Clothier Street between Rideau and Barnes, as well as the area bounded by Reuben Crescent. The BIA recently purchased four permanent outdoors benches, which will soon be installed throughout Old Town to provide pedestrians the opportunity to rest and socialize, Sally added.
MarketPlates is back at Farmers’ Market Skip breakfast on Sunday, Aug. 28, for the MarketPlates. The Kemptville Kinsmen Farmers’ Market is hosting the second annual MarketPlates at Riverside Park in Old Town Kemptville from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. While there is no admission MarketPlates, organizers are suggesting a $ 15 donation each. This unique culinary event brings together farmers and chefs from the North Grenville area to celebrate the local harvest. The proceeds go to the Kemptville Kinsmen, who have provided so much support for the Kemptville’s Farmers’ Market, and without whom the market may not even be possible. MarketPlates is the focal point of a fabulous market season. It is the greatest opportunity to devour the marvelous tastes of summer in North Grenville as residents appreciate the uniqueness of our small community, the abundance of our “terroir” and skill of our local chefs. Like many communities worldwide that celebrate harvest time with festivals, the focus is on the bountiful provi-
sions given up by the fertile and tender earthly womb. Chefs, cooks, and owners of local restaurants and catering businesses are donating their time to participate with Farmers’ Market vendors and farmers to prepare tasty tidbits for everyone to sample. Some chefs will even be doing live demonstrations. Participating restaurants and caterers include Wyatt’s Grill, the branch restaurant, Brewed Awakenings, Brigadoon, Catered Affairs, The Kemptville Pub, The Crusty Baker, The Landing, and more. Live entertainment will be provided by Lauren Mann and the Fairly Odd Folks, George Buys, John Carroll and the Maplewood Ceilidh Band. Additional entertainment will be provided by Shakira’s Belly Dance Fitness, and Andrea Goral School of Highland Dancing. Sunday August 21 is the only date scheduled to sell advance tickets. Be sure to visit the market between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. to purchase your ticket, as this event is expected to sell out quickly!

Sweetening sugar’s image DON MERCER One day, when our daughter was in Grade 2, she came home from school and announced the teacher had told the class that sugar was “evil.” This meant that she was no longer going to eat anything with even the slightest bit of sugar in it. No amount of reasoning could sway her opinion since, if the teacher had said it, then it must be absolutely true. To me, sugar is not “evil,” but is an integral part of our diet. The basic problem is too much sugar, and the challenge is to select the sources of our sugar intake wisely. While working in the food industry, I was amazed at how many parents emphatically stated that they would not give their children crystal beverages on a hot summer day because of all the sugar they contained. Instead, they said they gave them apple juice, orange juice, or grape juice. Of course, all of these are great tasting and definitely good for you, but basing the decision
solely on their sugar content is a bit misleading. Let’s take a look at just how much sugar is in some of the fruits and beverages we consume (see chart). These were all purchased recently at local grocery stores. The percent sugar by weight and the number of grams of sugar in a 250 mL glass of juice are given in the table. Due to sugar being present, 250 mL of each beverage weighs about 260 grams. Juice from a fresh McIntosh apple contained 10.9 per cent sugar, and the juice from some fresh grapes had a sugar content of 18.9 per cent. As you can see, the crystal beverage drinks that were considered to have excessive sugar levels actually contained less sugar than the natural fruit juices. It goes without saying that we must be mindful of the other healthy aspects of the fruit juices and not simply focus on sugar alone. However, for most of us, there is nothing wrong with the occasional glass of these crystal beverage drinks, providing they
do not take the place of natural juices. Surprisingly, adding three rounded teaspoons of sugar to a mug of coffee gives about the same sugar content. Another misconception that I have encountered is the idea that sugar is not natural. Many believe that because it is refined there is something artificial or overly processed about sugar. In actual fact, sugar is a natural product obtained through a simple process involving sugar cane or sugar beets. In the case of sugar cane, juice is squeezed from the crushed cane and then boiled to create a thick syrup from which the sugar crystallizes. This sugar has a brownish colour due to the presence of molasses. To remove the brown colour, these crystals are refined by re-dissolving them in water to form a second syrup which is then filtered. A subsequent crystallization step results in the white granular product we know as refined sugar. To extract sugar from sugar beets, the beets are cut into slices which are soaked in hot water to dissolve the sugar and form

a syrup. This syrup can then be processed to give crystalline sugar. Sugar, or sucrose, is easily broken down by our bodies into glucose and fructose. It is basically pure energy with about four Calories per gram. A level teaspoon of sugar will contain about 15 Calories; while a rounded teaspoon, which many of us use, may contain around 30 Calories. As shown, sugar is found in many natural sources
in addition to the crystalline form that we usually associate with refined sugar and add to our food.

Volume raised on noise bylaw J.P. ANTONACCI jp.antonacci@metroland.com
In a procedural move that could have broader consequences, council approved an update to North Grenville’s noise bylaw that will make the rules about noise levels easier to enforce. The rules aren’t changing substantially, but the minor amendment to the bylaw’s penalties section now makes it legally possible for any recognized court to levy fines for infractions and order violators to cease actions that contravene the law. Previously, only the Ontario Superior Court was listed in the bylaw text.
Making this simple change opened up the broader issue of updating the noise bylaw, and bylaws in general. The current noise bylaw, for example, does not indicate precisely when noise must cease – only that no construction work is permitted between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. – and does not provide any guidelines as to appropriate decibel levels. The bylaw covers the sonically debilitating effects of phonographs, but there is nary a mention of car alarms or loud motorcycles. “It seems to me (the bylaw) could be tightened up a bit,” Coun. Terry Butler
said during the most recent Committee of the Whole meeting. Deputy clerk Heather Render agreed, and said that staff would soon revise and update the bylaw to include more specifics. CAO Andy Brown said he thinks that process will take place in the fall, at which time the new noise bylaw will be brought back to council for approval. Coun. Tim Sutton suggested that overhauling all of the municipality’s out of date bylaws would make for a useful project in 2012, an idea that received general agreement. Resident Barry Cameron was pleased to hear that the noise bylaw would now
be more effectively enforced. “I’ve called the cops because of (late night) karaoke,” Cameron told the Committee of the Whole. He indicated he was surprised to learn that the OPP can’t legally enforce the noise bylaw. “Noise is one of the main aggravations,” Mayor David Gordon agreed. At least one member of council wondered if making the current noise bylaw enforceable wasn’t just sound and fury, signifying nothing. “Have we ever won a case on (the noise bylaw) in 25 years?” Deputy Mayor Ken Finnerty wondered aloud. Silence was the only reply.

The Accidental Farmwife There aren’t too many things that would make me want to give up sheep farming. I’ve only wanted to quit a couple of times so far. I wanted to throw in the towel during my first winter lambing season, when every second lamb born, died. It was just too cold for them and they didn’t make it. I bottle-fed the ones that didn’t seem to be getting enough of their mothers’ milk but they just weren’t strong enough. The only other time I remember thinking, ‘that’s it! I quit!’ was just the other night. I was doing the nightly check on things, making sure the new lambs were okay, the chickens had enough water and the turkeys were still in their pen. A gathering noise outside drew my attention to the far side of the barn. Sheep noise. Instead of settling down for the night
against the wall of the barn, the sheep were all standing in the spotlight, staring down the field. I grabbed my flashlight, hopped over the gate and went to see what they were looking—and hollering—at. I saw two sets of eyes, one considerably taller than the other. Donkey and Misty. At their feet, another set of eyes blinked at me from the grass. A lamb was down.
Another set of eyes blinked at me from the grass. A lamb was down. The horse and donkey were flanking the lamb as if protecting her from something. I swung my flashlight around at the darkness but saw nothing. Upon inspection, the lamb appeared to have at least one bloody foot. I wondered if a coyote had bitten her in a failed abduction, or if the big horse had accidentally hobbled her. I couldn’t leave her there in the field; we had had too many coyote kills lately and I knew he was probably watching from the wings, waiting for us to leave his snack untended. The lamb looked small enough, so I
squatted down, put my arms around her and lifted her up. Ugh. She was heavier than she looked. I panted my way to the barn, dog and horse on my heels. My breathing was scaring the other sheep out of my way, as I parted the flock like the Red Sea on my way to the lambing pen. We had a gate wired across the open door in summer, so I had to gently plop the lamb down on the inside before running around through the other barn to meet her. I kept thinking that a coyote was waiting for me to leave my lamb alone for a moment so he could scoop her up and spirit her away. Once inside the lambing room, I had to lift the lamb again to lower her into the lambing pen.
That’s when I noticed that the blood was not coming from her foot at all. It was coming from her neck. I noticed that she hadn’t moved a muscle since I first discovered her. She was using her only line of defense (besides stomping feet). She was playing dead. I told her she was safe now, and the mother of the new twin lambs
came over to inspect her. That’s when I noticed that the blood was not coming from her foot at all. It was coming from her neck. The Farmer had told me that when a coyote kills a lamb, it rips its throat out. Sometimes a sentry animal like Donkey will scare the coyote away, but it usually comes back later to collect its meal. I worried that the coyote would come to the barn to get my lamb at night. I have heard of farmers finding coyotes in their barns, but the ones on our property rarely make it all the way up to the barnyard. This one had been within 50 metres of the fence. I parted the wool around the lamb’s neck and found some tiny insertion points, like vampire bites. The bleeding had stopped. The Farmer gave her a shot of penicillin, and we will watch her closely. When I left her for the night, she was cuddled in to sleep beside the ewe, after having eaten her fill of sweet hay. We have had six coyote kills this year. Normally we leave the coyotes alone to hunt mice in the back fields, and they leave our sheep alone. Donkey keeps them away from the herd. But this is getting ridiculous. We may have to call in some of the Farmer’s hunting buddies to get rid of this fearless predator.

Notes from North Grenville council J.P. ANTONACCI jp.antonacci@metroland.com
North Grenville’s burn ban has been lifted, but the fire department is still cracking down on improper open air burning. After investigating a complaint, North Grenville’s fire prevention office charged two individuals with unauthorized burning. Both pleaded guilty and were fined $500 each. The department is also investigating multiple burn complaints on Hilly Lane; a letter to educate property owners about open burning and the need to apply for special burn permits is forthcoming. Fire Chief Paul Hutt told council that residents were “very responsive” to the recent burn ban. He thanked “responsible” permit holders for doing their part to limit uncontrolled fires.

After residents complained that speedy motorists were using Wellington Road in Kemptville as a shortcut to bypass the traffic on Hwy 43, council agreed to post 50 km/h speed signs to remind drivers that the gravel road was still in the municipality, and not a country speedway. Those signs have now been posted at either end of the street, and it is hoped that the visual reminders to slow down, plus an increase in OPP patrols, will convince drivers to ease up on the throttle.
COMMUNITY GRANTS UP FOR GRABS In June, council approved $5,600 in grants to ten diverse community organizations. Starting in late August, the municipality will be accepting applications for the next round of grants, to be distributed in October. North Grenville budgeted $8,000 for community grants this year, meaning $2,400 is still up for grabs. TROUBLED BRIDGE Deputy Mayor Ken Finnerty told council that construction work on the Hurd Street bridge might be postponed for the second year in a row because of concerns from the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority. Work due to be completed this year would be rescheduled to 2012. AND THEY’RE OFF! Aug. 25 is North Grenville Night at the Races at Rideau Carleton Raceway. Council invited residents to come to the racetrack from 6:30 to 11 p.m. for a good meal and some fun with family and friends. Coun. Terry Butler said he is saving his toonies for the annual outing, and Mayor Gordon reminded residents not to place any bets until they received Deputy Mayor Finnerty’s “sage advice” on the mounts. “Remember, bet on the riders, not the horses,” Gordon advised.

4 EASY WAYS TO PLACE YOUR AD IN THE CLASSIFIEDS
Community
Illegal pathway vehicles grinding Osgoode’s gears EMMA JACKSON emma.jackson@metroland.com
Only two months after the Osgoode multi-use pathway officially opened, residents, police and community leaders are struggling to keep unauthorized motorized vehicles off the pathway. The 22 kilometre rail bed pathway running between Osgoode Main Street and Leitrim Road has been the centre of a controversial rural pathways policy since last fall, when the City of Ottawa set out to decide if motorized vehicles such as snowmobiles, all-terrain vehicles and dirt bikes should be allowed on the resurfaced gravel path. After a heated debate that set community members against each other and led to several tense public meetings, the city decided to allow snowmobiles on the path during winter months but to ban all other motorized vehicles the rest of the year, as part of a two-year pilot project.
Now, despite signage, narrow entrance gates and as much police presence as the force can realistically offer, dirt bikes and ATVs are still a problem. “I find they don’t slow down, they go very quick,” said Osgoode resident Merilee Lackey, who walks her dogs on the path every day. “The dogs are afraid, and you have no time so you have to kind of run off the path.” Residents along the pathway have been issuing regular complaints with Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson and the community police station, as well. “I’ve gotten a few complaints,” said Thompson, who has also noticed evidence of illegal vehicles while using the path. “I was out biking a week and a half ago and I didn’t see any vehicles, but I could see where they had gone in and made a few ruts in the pathway itself. So there’s evidence that they are there. This is the major concern that we had all along, that they would cause damage.”
Ottawa South community police officer Nicole Gorham said she expected these issues even before the pathway was officially open. “People were complaining before the pathway launched, and they were already anticipating there were going to be problems,” she said, adding that there’s only so much the police can do. Apart from limited staff resources and few opportunities to patrol the lengthy pathway, Gorham said it’s not safe for police to chase offending dirt bikes down the path. “People expect enforcement, but I’ve explained to the community that we’re not going to pursue dirt bikes. It’s not safe and it’s not our protocol,” she said. It could also put other path users such as joggers, cyclists and hikers at risk. Thompson said he would like to see increased police presence on the path, but understands the limitations. “They can’t be out all the time, but hopefully they can nab and fine them ac-

cordingly. It’s difficult to ask people to let us know who it is or give descriptions, because most people are wearing helmets and most of those vehicles don’t have a license plate,” he said. “We’re going to have to rely on the police and also residents. If someone knows who is riding the path, perhaps they live in the same area or recognize the bike, they should let us know and we can crack down on it.” There have been several incidents involving broken windows along the Osgoode Village end of the path, where eggs and beer bottles have been thrown through windows and caused minor injuries. However Gorham can’t confirm if the damage was caused by pedestrians or illegal vehicle drivers. Furthermore, she said the problem isn’t as pressing as some residents might think. “I don’t think it’s a huge problem, but it definitely is a problem and people need to stop and obey the rules so everyone can enjoy the path,” she said.
Trillium grant keeps Riverkeepers in the water MICHELLE NASH michelle.nash@metroland.com
The Ottawa Riverkeeper has received an Ontario Trillium Foundation grant to promote and analyze data from a 900 kilometre trip down the Ottawa River. Ottawa Riverkeeper Meredith Brown has been leading a team, which includes scientists, canoe experts and historians, on the first river-long study, the Great River Project. The trip began on July 4. The purpose of the three-month trip is to study the state of the Ottawa River from Fort Temiscamingue, Quebec to where the river flows into the Saint Lawrence River in Montréal, Quebec. Natasha Wilson, executive director of the Ottawa Riverkeeper, said the $58,000 grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation will offer the Ottawa Riverkeeper organization the ability to fund the trip as well as have the funds to analyze and educate, once all the data from the journey has been compiled. “This money will be used to help fund the community events, education and materials needed to complete this journey,” Wilson said. “We are very excited to continue to work with the Trillium Foundation.” The Ottawa Riverkeeper has been receiving funding from the Ontario Trillium Foundation since 2002, money Wilson said
is integral to promoting the importance of keeping the watershed safe. Of the 900 kilometre journey the Ottawa Riverkeeper has embarked on, close to 300 kilometres is already behind the team and now they will be starting their third trip of the five-trip journey on Aug. 13. The funding has made it possible for the Ottawa Riverkeeper to invite 10 students to participate in this leg of the project, Wilson said. “This money is being used to get students on the water. To make them ambassadors of the Ottawa River and hopefully become future leaders of keeping the watershed safe,” Wilson said. The organization received a number of applicants for the youth-led trip and through a selection process; Wilson said they chose the 10 students who will be accompanying Brown. “We have a diverse range of students from both Quebec and Ontario and from all areas of the watershed,” Wilson explained. After an information session, the students left on Aug. 13 from Rapides des Joachims in Québec. They will return home and finish their portion of the trip at Portage-du-Fort in Québec on Aug. 20. It won’t be all work for the young travellers; the students will have a day of whitewater rafting with Esprit on Aug. 18.

division, with the Ottawa/Toronto GOAT team taking silver behind Vancouver’s Furious George, and the Phoenix earning bronze. The Phoenix, for their part, enjoyed home-field advantage for all it was worth. “I had two perfect cups of coffee each morning of the tournament. That’s a big deal,� smiles captain Luke Phelan, highlighting a good night’s sleep, comfortable surroundings and nutritious meals when they want it as other hometown benefits. “And you can’t complain about perfect weather and perfect fields. It doesn’t get much better.� With a 5:30 a.m. start to each day, and three high-intensity, hour-and-a-half games per day in the heat, the four-day nationals can be a downright exhausting competition. “It’s one of the most physically demanding sports I’ve ever played,� notes Phelan, whose squad compiled a 7-2 overall record at nationals. “There is a lot of jostling and a lot of impact with the ground all the time. And there’s the wear and tear because of the constant running.� With bodies flying left and right at full speed, the nationals certainly displayed a very strong competitive wing to a sport that is largely viewed as a recreational activity, and the Phoenix are also proof of that. Minus the original crew of friends – Ben Haig, Matt Cole and
Ramsey Wright – that formed the Phoenix over a decade ago when they were at Nepean High School, the connection between players is simply that they’re the city’s best. “We’ve played together for awhile, a lot of guys train hard, and you know what? We take it seriously,� explains Phelan, noting that off-season training and coaching in the Ottawa Carleton Ultimate Association’s junior ranks to build a new generation of talent is all part of the package. “This isn’t running around in the sun in our flip-flops. We treat it like a real sport, and everyone that joins the team takes it seriously. We put in the time and the work.� Over 1,450 players competed on 68 teams in the nationals’ five divisions, which also included the Mixed category – where Montreal and Vancouver teams took gold and silver – and Junior, where Vancouver’s Shock topped Toronto’s Overdrive. The tournament returned to its Ottawa roots for the 25th edition of the event that began with 10 teams in 1987. “Ottawa is the best place to hold a national tournament,� says Di Filippo of Toronto. “Having UPI – a set of fields made for ultimate – is amazing. It should always be here. It’s a great venue, there’s friendly people, and the fields are the best in the country.�

Ottawa and Toronto are often fierce rivals in just about all sports, but in the self-refereed game known for its cooperative nature, a group of 22 ultimate frisbee players proved the merits of joining forces this past weekend. The Capitals women’s team – made up of an equal number of members from the provincial and national capitals – were rewarded with a trip to next July’s world championships in Japan after winning the Canadian title at the Aug. 11-14 nationals event held at Ultimate Parks Inc. in Manotick and Carleton University. “We came together to try to put together a strong team to compete with American teams, to start,� explains Carla Di Filippo, noting the Ottawa and Toronto clubs usually only play together in the fall, except in the summer before worlds, which are every four years. “You also need a strong team to compete against the west coast. So in an attempt to try to be Team Canada next year, the Capitals formed.� It’s still quite the challenge for a team to live in different cities, but they alternate visits for practice weekends and the captains of each city’s group are constantly communicating with one another. “It’s not easy, but we are doing the same practices, we have the same plays, everything’s the same except we’re just miles apart,� Di Filippo adds. “When we come together, that’s when the magic happens.� That magic was certainly on display at nationals as the Capitals scored the maximum 15 points in all their preliminary-round games en route to a 5-0 record. They then downed Vancouver’s Traffic 14-12 to earn an easier path to the final, where the rematch with Traffic produced a convincing 15-6 victory for the Ontario ladies. “We’re big on fitness,� Di Filippo says, identifying the keys to her squad’s success. “It’s a lot of practice, and you’ve got to train really hard – there’s no secret. And we want it. We’re very determined.� The Capitals weren’t the only local national medallists. GLUM picked up a silver medal in the Masters category, handling all challengers except for Victoria, B.C.’s Nomads. Ottawa occupied half of the podium’s three steps in the Open
Ottawa’s Phoenix lay it on the line at the Aug. 11-14 Canadian Ultimate Championships, earning a bronze medal in the Open class of the event held at Ultimate Parks Inc. in Manotick.

MUSICAL SPELLS SUCCESS Quirky characters, clever dialogue and solid vocals led the way as the Kemptville Youth Musical Theatre Company presented The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee to four raucous audiences at the North Grenville Municipal Centre Theatre last week. The experience of the largely veteran cast shone through, as the actors’ confident stage presence, expressive delivery and deadly comic timing rivaled that of professional theatre companies. In her director’s message, Barbara Lacelle explained that the cast put the show together on its own, with Lacelle offering some advice as the curtain drew nearer. Putnam is a difficult musical in that the songs aren’t all that memorable, so the success or failure of the show depends on the audience connecting with and caring about a group of misfits who balance the demands of competition with the need to feel loved. Whether it was the hilariously dour Phill Konopka’s magic ‘spelling foot,’ Emilie Westbrook’s tightly wound overachiever, Carly Reinkeluers’ lonely genius, or David Wijsman’s endearing goofball, all the actors inspired the audience to root for them and cheer their ultimate success. Throw in tongue-in-cheek pop culture references, humorous jabs at traditional Broadway musicals, unwitting cameos from audience members, and witty ad-libs from Kathleen Lacelle as the bee’s vaguely unhinged hostess, and this production spelled entertainment for all.

The Legion will provide office space and lunches for approximately 50 workers, television crew members and volunteers during the three-day shoot. Legionnaires also voted to donate $5,000 from their lottery fund toward the project. Legion president Joanne Dudka (far left) and PRO Ruth Garrett visited the current skate park to present the donation to (back row, left to right) parks and recreation director Darren Patmore, Mayor David Gordon, and Coun. Barb Tobin.
Members of Helping Haiti, a group that knits sleeping mats out of used plastic milk bags, demonstrated their craft at Winchester Dairyfest on Aug. 7. Approximately 25 volunteers have already knit 80 mats now used as mattresses by Haitians affected by the recent earthquake. Students collect the bags at their schools, and the mats are used as packaging for medical supplies and sent free of charge to the Northwest Haiti Christian Mission. Between 600 and 800 milk bags make one 36” x 60” adult-sized mat. Holding up a finished mat are (back row, left to right) crocheter Lisa Streng and coiler Olive Hutchinson, and (front row, left to right) Hutchinson’s grandchildren Willowna, Austin, Mallory and Esther, who all cut the milk bags into thin strips they then twist into plastic yarn.

History, elegance, and the kind of craftsmanship that belongs to a different era highlighted the annual Ottawa International Antique and Classic Boat Show on the weekend. Once more, the Manotick Classic Boat Club hosted their show on the shady banks of Long Island Locks on Saturday, August 13. This was their 36th annual show and the great summer weather along with the picturesque setting of the Long Island Locks made for a perfect day for visitors. Forty boats were registered for the show, along with antique cars, speedboats. The afternoon included a model boat building project for children. Ray Saunders is the chair of the Ottawa International Antique and Classic Boat Show. He explained that the show is one of the longest running antique boat shows of its kind in the country. One of the reasons for the show’s continued success year after year is the community partnerships the club makes. “We have great partnerships,” he explained. For example the docks used for visitors to the show needed repair. The Manotick club provided the wood and Parks Canada came up with the labour to repair the docks. New this year was a boat that took visitors for a tour of the area free of charge courtesy of Pirate Cove Marina in Kemptville. The show features a popular ship building section for children. Home Depot supplied all the wood used to build the boats and Harvest House cut all the wood into a boat shape. There is no charge for the event and visitors love it. There were at least 75 to 100 years of boats at the show, including a cabin cruiser design from the 1950’s and restored vintage boats from the early 1900’s. Each and every craft had its own story to tell. One special boat is a 1950 Peterborough Boat owned by Carol Ann Arsenault of Kemptville. Her boat, named Little Soggy Bottom, won the coveted Peoples Choice award as well as the Classic Boat of the show award. Another boat, owned by John and Susan Richardson of Manotick is the only one of its kind left in North America or according to John, anywhere on the planet. Originally constructed in 1935 by the Dodge Boat and Plane

John and Susan Richardson of Manotick refurbished this 1935 Dodge Cabin Utility Philippine Mahogany boat. John sits in the elegant cockpit of the wood finished-craft. Corporation, the 20 foot pleasure and working boat had seen better days when it was spotted by its current owners. “It was in pretty rough shape,” remembers John. “When I got it I had to strip it entirely. Most of the planks were rotting.” The boat is now called the Campster. The name is derived from John and Susan’s grandson’s name which is Cameron. The engine is a 1955 Chrysler

entire inside of the boat was stripped and sanded down. The floor was replaced as was the 1941 ACE motor. The boats history includes years of working in the Thousand Island area delivering groceries to the South Shore of Lake Ontario and to the islands. The shipyard where the Campster was born was most likely in a small corner of the Dodge automobile plant in Detroit. The
This boat, a 1954 Greavette Streamliner, is owned by George and Jaquie Balaschak. Its home port is Juno, Florida.
This 1935 Dodge Cabin Utility boat has a long history. Marine Crown flat-head six rated at 117 HP. The Richardsons bought Campster in 1999. Before that the boat had been used strictly for fishing and was starting to rot away. A fellow by the name of Don Roney had found the boat in 1990 and had refurbished it just enough to be used as a fishing boat. The Campster is a labour of love. Twelve coats of varnish were applied over two years. The
shipyard began producing various watercraft in 1922. By 1929 the shipyard had been relocated to Newport News, Virginia. It employed 700 workers on a 100 acre site. At one time, they were able to produce 40 boats a day. Historians feel that the Dodge Boat and Plane Corporation built some of the most beautiful launches and runabouts. These boats are now collectors items.
With support from Home Depot and Harvest House, these two aspiring shipbuilders had some fun building their own boats at the show.

Kemptville 73’s eye playoffs, restock for next season Summer is over! At least in the hockey world it is. The Kemptville 73’s have been busy over the summer. It all started back on May 18 with the 2011 CCHL entry draft. All twelve teams in the league were able to protect two major bantam players who live closest to their home rink while announcing this year’s selections. The 73’s protected players were both from the Upper Canada Cyclones. Kemptville’s Eric Cornel and Alexander Row are only allowed to play five games in junior this year as mandated by Hockey Canada. Kemptville used the third overall pick off the draft to select Manotick native and former Cyclone Blaine Byron. Byron played nine games for the 73’s at the end of last season and made a very good im-
talent in past seasons, the team is scouting players from across the United States and as far away as British Columbia and Newfoundland. In addition, there were many good local players from midget and Junior B on the ice. Coach Malloy said his intention was to get “bigger, faster and more intense.” The team also needs to be “more mobile, have faster foot speed and bring a high level of competitiveness to every game,” he said. The player pool has been restocked with an improved draft position and intense scouting. The coaching staff feels that many of their needs have been addressed. The intent is to go local if possible, but there will be no hesitation to bring in better players that will come from out of the region. The 73’s have signed several talented Junior B players: Dan Lacroix from

pression. The remaining draft selections were John McLean, Connor Rankin, John Welch, Darius Gibson, Jonathin Cyr, Matt Shackell, Alexander Loslo, Sawyer Woodside and Nathan Bowness. In total, six of the players selected came from the Cyclones organization. 73’s head coach Pat Malloy was pleased with the draft results and is looking forward with excitement as these young players develop. After almost two months off the ice, this year’s main camp was held July 8 to 10. After qualifying once in the past four years for the playoffs and losing five twenty-year-olds, with several players being traded and others moving on, there was a great deal of interest in coming to play in Kemptville. Almost 120 players were in camp, trying to catch the eye of the coaching staff. After being content with mostly local

Owner and general manager Paul Brenton said, “While the 73’s program prides itself on developing the best available local players, we recognize that to be competitive in this league we must have the option to be able to roster players from outside the area.” Joining the regional players as well as the locals from Kemptville, Manotick, Spencerville, Winchester and area, there could possibly be players from out of the province or the country.

The 73’s regular season kicks off Sept. 9 against the Cumberland Grads at 5:15 p.m. Game two of the weekend is Saturday, September 10 at 8:15 versus the Gloucester Rangers. In other news, Kemptville’s Eric Cornel was selected as one of 42 bantam players from across the country to participate in the first annual Allstate All-Canadians Mentorship Camp in conjunction with the National Hockey League Players’ Association (NHLPA). The camp was hosted by NHL players under the leadership of 21-year NHL veteran Gary Roberts from Aug. 2 to 6 in Mississauga. Eric played for

Medaglia brothers motor to motocross finals J.P. ANTONACCI jp.antonacci@metroland.com
Kemptville motocross racers Tyler and Jeremy Medaglia continued their success in the eighth and penultimate round of the Monster Energy Motocross Nationals at Sand Del Lee in Richmond on Aug. 7. Riding his KTM 250cc dirt bike in front of many relatives and friends who came to cheer him on at his home track, Jeremy shook off the injuries and mechanical problems that had hindered his previous races to finish the day first overall. Jeremy led the pack around the first turn of the first heat and never looked back, notching one of his best times of the season. In the second heat, Jeremy found himself behind teammate Kaven Benoit after the first turn. The two riders jostled for position, with Jeremy taking over the lead just before the halfway point. Benoit nipped at his heels for a few laps, but Jeremy was not to be denied the sweep, finishing five seconds ahead of Benoit to take both heats in impressive fashion. Jeremy was thrilled with his performance during one of the season’s best-attended weekends. “It was awesome, and to do it in front of my home crowd, with my family and friends there...was pretty cool,” he said. “I just knew that I’d been working hard, and if I could make no mistakes and get in
front, that I could do the job and get both wins.” Tyler, a veteran rider currently leading the MX2 standings by a wide margin, became entangled in a pileup around the second turn of the first heat, and had to pour on the gas to regain lost ground. He weaved and charged his way to a respectable fifth place finish. Though he started the second heat in tenth place, Tyler demonstrated the technique that makes him such a success on the track by darting past rider after rider to finish third. Jeremy’s strong riding earned him first place overall in Round 8, with KTM teammate Benoit in second. Tyler’s fifth and third place finishes in the two heats landed him fourth overall on the day. Jeremy complimented his brother’s gritty performance, pointing out that gaining ground on the main group of riders, as Tyler did, is no easy task. “Being so close to getting the championship, he just needed to ride smart and not take any big chances, which he didn’t, so I think it was a smart weekend for him,” Jeremy said. Thanks to his stellar performance at Sand Del Lee, Jeremy heads into the MX2 National Series finals in fourth place with 251 points, trailing third-place rider Austin Politelli by 24 points. Benoit is second overall with 306, and Tyler’s 351 points put him in a good posi-

Jeremy admits it would take a minor miracle for him to make up enough points to reach the podium this year, but he is ready to race his best yet again. “I’m going to go into the final weekend with the same attitude as at Sand Del Lee – trying to win both motos and trying to
have another good day. Not necessarily putting pressure on to win, but just having fun and trying not to make mistakes, and the results will be the results after the day is done,” he said. The ninth and final round of the MX2 season takes place Aug. 21 at Walton Raceway near Kitchener, ON.

Curbsiders are impostors who pose as private individuals, but are actually in the business of selling stolen or damaged vehicles.
