Fourteen years after a little boy first wondered why everyone in the world didn’t have clean water, and then resolved to do something about it, the Ryan’s Well Foundation has built over 680 wells through community partnerships in 30 countries, bringing safe water and improved sanitation to over 723,000 people. While mingling with several dozen volunteers and well-wishers celebrating Kemptville-based foundation’s tenth anniversary at the branch restaurant last Tuesday, Ryan Hreljac reflected on the day in 1998 that his Grade 1 teacher at Holy Cross Catholic School explained that children in Uganda were dying because there was no clean water close to their village. “I counted the steps it took me to get from my classroom to the water fountain, and I counted ten. And my teacher explained that they would have to walk something like 5,000 steps to get to the other village. And it just didn’t make sense,” Hreljac said. He resolved to help those children get the water they desperately needed. “When I was six, I didn’t comprehend that the problem would be this big. I thought that one well would fix the entire problem – that it was just one other village in the world…that didn’t have clean water,” he said. “I thought it was unfair.” With his parents’ encouragement, the youngster raised $70 by doing extra chores around his house, J.P.

Well water project began in Kemptville Continued from the front He then began speaking about his project to service groups and schools to raise the rest of the $2,000. “I was an awful public speaker,” said Hreljac, 20, explaining that he stuttered and had other speech impediments as a child. “The words may not have gotten across, but the message did.” The first of Ryan’s many wells was built at Angolo Primary School in northern Uganda the following year, and still serves that community today. His desire to help others led him to create a charitable foundation in 2001, and he has since travelled the world speaking about water issues. His story of selfless giving has inspired many young people, including one eight-year-old girl from Barrhaven. After her Grade 3 class at Jockvale Elementary School saw a video about Ryan’s Well and raised $2,000 to build a well, Katie Grines decided to raise an additional $2,000 all by herself. “I said to her, ‘Are you sure you can do it, Katie? It’s a lot of money, and you’re eight years old,’” remembered Grines’ mother, Susan Collier, who brought Katie to the anniversary celebration. “And she said, ‘Well, Ryan did it.’” Through barbecues, extra chores, and a lemonade stand – along with

help from impressed relatives – Grines has raised $1,700 since February and hopes to reach her goal by the end of the year. The young philanthropist could barely contain her glee at meeting Ryan himself, hopping about excitedly and smiling as Hreljac thanked her for her great work. “She has lots of big dreams,” Collier said proudly What began as a way to help one village has ballooned into a global effort to secure access to clean water throughout the world, and Hreljac’s view of the problem has similarly broadened. “The world’s water crisis isn’t just confined to a few regions in the globe. It’s creeping up on us in our own backyards, and is present in our society today,” he said. The third-year international development student at University of King’s College in Halifax advocates water conservation and understanding watershed management plans to forestall future crises. “It’ll be interesting to see if we treat (water) as something economic, or something that’s a human right, as the UN has just declared it,” he said. “But if we start talking about how important it is, hopefully we can come to the right moral decision.”
School buses are back Mark Tuesday Sept. 6 on your calendar. For parents getting ready to send off their children to either the Catholic or public schools in the area, it is a big day. The Upper Canada Public School Board and the Catholic School Board of Eastern Ontario are open for business again for another school year. That means there will be school buses out on the country roads Tuesday morning. In a press release, the OPP remind motorists to be on the look out for those yellow school buses as they take to the road for another year. “The public is reminded that every driver, while on a highway while meeting a stopped school bus that has its overhead red signal-lights flashing shall stop before reaching the bus and shall not proceed until the bus moves or the overhead red signal-lights have stopped flashing. (Section 175(11) of the Highway Traffic Act),” stated the press release. Many children in rural villages walk to school, and motorists should be aware of the increased pedestrian traffic around schools and watch their speed. Remember that the children will be excited about their first day of school.

North Grenville calls itself the Roundabout Capital of Canada, and the traffic circles dotting County Road 43 are in line for a makeover through the adopt-a-roundabout program set to be implemented this fall. Based on the province’s adopt-ahighway program, businesses in North Grenville can volunteer on a yearly basis to cut the grass and weed the flowers in the centre of the traffic circle, in exchange for a small promotional sign posted nearby. As its name suggests, County Road 43 is maintained by the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville (UCLG), which does not have a formal roundabout maintenance program. North Grenville planning director Forbes Symon said it is unrealistic to expect county employees to come to North Grenville every week just to cut three small patches of grass.
Symon thinks the new adopt-aroundabout program brought forward by the municipality’s economic development committee, with input from local businesses, is a logical way to keep the roundabouts neat and appealing at no cost to North Grenville. “(The roundabouts) are an entrance feature, so you want them to look good, and you can’t expect the counties to be there every week cutting the grass and weeding the flowers. It makes a lot of sense to have a more localized approach,” he said. UCLG staff will train volunteers from the businesses, provide safety vests and pylons, and make a maintenance schedule for each roundabout. “They’re happy to do that and then not have to worry about sending expensive work crews up here,” Symon said. There is no cost for businesses to enroll in the program, and they can bow out of their contract if they are no longer able to participate. By the same
token, the municipality and county can find a different sponsor if a roundabout is poorly maintained. “If someone’s doing well and they enjoy doing it…then they get to keep them forever and a day,” Symon said. The company’s promotional signage displayed near each roundabout is “extremely modest,” smaller than a yellow turn side, he added. “It’s more of a community-minded thing, the satisfaction of keeping your community looking good.” Symon said the existing three roundabouts on County Road 43 have already been adopted by local businesses, though he can’t yet reveal which ones. He expects signs to be installed and volunteers trained over the winter so the program can start in earnest next spring. Later this year, the municipality will invite interested companies or groups to sign up on a waiting list to either take over current roundabouts or adopt new ones as they are built.
Winchester hospital hires new CEO joe.morin@metorland.com
The Winchester District Memorial Hospital, (WDMH) has hired a new chief executive officer. His name is Cholly Boland. The hospital’s board of directors had been looking for a replacement for former CEO Trudy Reid, who retired from the position several months ago. Reid and the board led the hospital through a $42 million restoration project and initiated plans for how the hospital will partner with its community in the future. The board has found someone who they believe will take the rural hospital further along its path of renovation, education and growth. “On behalf of the board of directors, I am pleased to announce our new chief executive officer. His appointment is effective Sept. 6,” Board chairperson John Polak said in a statement. “Cholly brings a wealth of expertise to this position and will play an integral role in advancing WDMH’s vision to create a Centre of Excellence for rural health and education.” The new CEO’s resume includes time spent in key positions in several rural hospitals. He was the CEO of the Headwaters Health Care Centre as well as the CEO of the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital. He led the hospital in Arnprior in achieving one of the top patient satisfaction results for Ontario. Boland has experience working with several health care organizations including the Childrens Hospital of Eastern Ontario and
the Ministry of Long-Term Care. He has also served as CEO for the Kitimat and Area Health Council/Kitimat General Hospital in British Columbia, the Community Care Access Centre in

Speak up and speak often That headline is great advice from the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, (OFA). Found in an OFA press release about what the agricultural sector should be doing to ensure they do not get left behind during this coming provincial election, the slogan is about as basic as you can get. Citing, that on the one hand, the agricultural sector is manned by only 1 per cent of Ontario’s population yet generates more than 700,000 jobs and contributes $33 billion to the provincial economy, it is an industry that has to be paid attention to. According to the OFA, politicians should be dealing with five key election issues that have been identified by the organization’s policy advisory council as having an impact on the agricultural sector. They are: environmental stewardship, rural infrastructure, energy policies, risk management programs and regulatory reform. All of the issues are as familiar to urban voters as to rural ones. The only addition could be more efficient and transparent government. While the populations of some far away countries have to find a gun to make sure
their voices are heard all we have to do is speak up. Like the song says, you do not always get what you want but you just might get what you need. First you have to ask for it. There is a chance that this time around the average voter will see through all of the slick marketing and political framing that has given politics and politicians a bad name. If the questions that are asked are clear and meaningful then the answers whenever possible should be the same. Let’s see what happens this time. There will be a full slate of candidates made up of a few excellent incumbents and some interesting newcomers. With the dire predictions about the state of the national and provincial economy ringing in our ears, do not expect too much vote buying to go on. This election may be all about keeping the status quo for a few more years until a more stable global economic landscape appears. The antidote to an election that changes nothing but affects everything, is when voters take the time to ask questions. All of the candidates are ready and able to answer just about anything you could ask.

Back to school preparations I took the kids camping for their last summer hurrah. For two months, I had built the trip up in my mind to be a repeat of last year’s glorious dog days of August on the beach. Last year, it was just me and the boys: We read Harry Potter; we built sandcastles; we rode the waves for six hours a day; and we all got along like peas in a pod. This year there was a storm. First, there was the real tempest, a lightening and wind storm that forced me to abandon our tent in the middle of the night and jump into the car. And then there was the kids: For two days, they ran around the woods with older boys, pounding each other and fighting and bickering and otherwise driving me up the wall. I lost my patience, more than once, and threatened repeatedly to head straight home if they didn’t smarten up. (Funny how I sound more like my mother every day). It wasn’t until one of them said “I hate school” that I realized the catalyst. They had just three days until the beginning of the school year and it was playing on their minds and ruining their
BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse vacation. So we talked about it, (as much as any mother can sit a five and six-year-old boy down and have a conversation in the middle of forest wars, where one is determined to save “the republic” with a giant stick, and the other is attacking with a large cushion). Anyway, I digress. From what I could gather, the younger one was feeling upset about being confined to the indoors all day. He’s pretty active, and he was worried the teacher was going to force him to sit still and learn. (A valid concern.) The older one was upset that the Grade 1 classroom lacked Lego. (This is a kid who spends up to six hours a day building things out of 6,000 pieces of Lego in the basement; much to my cha-

grin, the only way to manage this is to dump the entire box across the rec room floor because “otherwise you can’t find the right piece.”) These may sound like petty concerns. But for the kids, they are real. I thought about what they were saying and realized that maybe school isn’t the best environment for kids. I know from experienced teachers that try to induce some old-fashioned creativity into their lessons that they have to “break the rules” to do it. As one woman said to me recently, “school is designed to turn active, creative boys into 19th century clerks.” Sigh. Short of marching into the board and demanding they alter the curriculum, I found a few ways to lessen the boys anxiety, although admittedly starting two days before school wasn’t optimal. If you have some time this weekend, try asking your children how they’re feeling about September, play at the park near their school, take them shopping for supplies, and let them help plan their lunches. And if it’s possible, try to continue some of that summer fun into the first few weeks of September, so it’s not such

a jarring experience for the family. (P.S. School isn’t the same as camp, so expect a transition even if they’ve been in camp all summer.) Take the kids outside to eat, invite their friends over for a weeknight supper and try not to cram their calendars for the first few weeks. And if the little one wets the bed for a few nights, as mine has, just chalk it up to nerves. These little guys have a lot playing on their minds, day and night. What they need more than anything is a little patience and understanding. I’ve already started tapping my reserves.

The Farmer finished up his holidays by watering a stone. He was watering the stone to loosen it from the ground so that he could pick it out and move it from the front lawn. Problem is, the stone is like an iceberg. The part you can see is only a fraction of what lies beneath. That’s one of the things I love about my husband. He is curious, and he likes a challenge. At least he doesn’t get bored and start asking me to entertain him. Nope, he can entertain himself just fine. I didn’t have such a great week. I decided to try one of those herbal detox pills that is supposed to help you lose a little bit of water weight, while cleansing your insides a bit at the same time. High school reunion coming up and all, you know. After just
one dose, I began to question my judgment. Went to the computer and searched the thing. All the reviews were positive, but they did warn against side effects. After the second full day of suffering, feeling as though my insides were slowly being liquefied, I was feeling pretty sheepish for worrying about my weight enough to try something that was obviously unsafe. And then I spoke to someone else who said that my symptoms were very typical reactions to detoxification. So I wasn’t so dumb after all. But I decided the one dose was enough for me. I think I’ll stay toxic for now, until advised otherwise by a medical professional. Oh well. I shouldn’t be so hard on the old bod. At least she’s healthy.
The Accidental Farmwife Diana Fisher
Which is more than I can say for one of our old ewes. This girl is solid, but her girth can work against her. She toppled over on her
back—and I don’t know which event happened first but at some point she was bitten on the face, probably by a coyote. The Farmer first noticed the turkey vultures circling overhead. That is never a good sign. He later found the ewe belly-up, spindly feet kicking the air, and had to slowly roll her back over and wait until her insides settled before he could lift her up onto the trailer and move her to a safe pen in the barn for recovery. I went to see her shortly afterwards. Her face and neck were swollen, her body was still slightly lopsided from the tumble, and she had a rather traumatized look in her eye. I can just imagine what was going through her head as she lay on her back, helpless, watching the vultures circling over her, waiting.
Hopefully she couldn’t see or hear them. Now I go into the barn twice a day to feed her sweet grain while spraying her wounds with antiseptic. She will be OK. Our little lamb is not OK. At three weeks of age, we have lost the little guy who went to cottage with us—the lamb who depended on me as his only source of food. I did the best I could to replace his mother and he appeared so strong—running over the field, scooting under the fence and up onto the back porch of the house, calling to me—but he didn’t make it. It’s been a rough week. I only lost three pounds on that detox diet and I’m pretty sure the eating and drinking at our 4th Annual Fisher Farm Party will put that weight back on. But that’s OK. Life is meant for living.

The Saturday parade and a full slate of family entertainment, along with a bustling midway, make the fair a prime destination for kids of all ages all weekend long. “Many country fairs have disappeared due to the lack of involvement from the community; we should all give ourselves a pat on the back for a job well done,” Drummond told the volunteers and com-

The George Drummond Memorial Grounds will be transformed into a field of dreams for the 156th annual Spencerville Fair from Sept. 8 to 11. Kevin Costner is the star attraction at this year’s fair, which is sponsored by the Spencerville Agricultural Society. The leading man turned front man is stopping in Spencerville on Sept. 10 for an 8 p.m. show with his band, Modern West. Over the summer, Costner’s country trio visited Russia, the Calgary Stampede and the oldest rodeo in the world in Cheyenne, Wyoming, and will embark on a European tour later in September. Last year the band played the Ottawa Bluesfest to positive reviews. Though better known for starring in films such as Dances with Wolves, The Untouchables and The Bodyguard, Costner has been playing and writing music with bandmates John Coinman and Blair Forward for more than 20 years. Ottawa-based rock group Silver Creek will open the Saturday night show, following returning favourite The Bowes Brothers earlier in the day. Country rockers Ambush kick off the entertainment on Friday night. But the annual agricultural fair offers more than just great concerts. Addressing exhibitors in a welcome message on the fair’s website, fair president Robert Drummond wrote, “It is your exhibits that keep the people coming into the exhibit buildings all weekend to see what talented people we have in our community.” And there will be exhibits aplenty at this year’s fair, including poultry and rabbit judging, horse and pony shows, goat and cattle shows, and the greasy pig contest.

Is this heaven? No, Mr. Costner, it’s Spencerville. Kevin Costner will be the star attraction at this year’s Spencerville Fair. The actor and singer will take to the stage on Saturday, Sept. 10. And just in time for autumn, fairgoers can marvel at the Mammoth Pumpkin Weigh-in. Youth from the 4-H Club will display their livestock and produce. Young performers. meanwhile, will charm the crowd during the amateur talent show on Friday night at 8 p.m. in the Drummond Building. For some four-wheeled entertainment, look no further than the demolition derby
munity-minded sponsors and exhibitors that make the Spencerville fair a continued success. Admission to the fair and midway costs $9 for adults on Friday and Saturday, and $12 on Sunday. Children’s prices vary, and shows are extra. Admission on Thursday – when midway rides are just $2 each – is by donation to the Food For All food bank in Spencerville.

Green Food Bag celebrates three years JOSEPH MORIN joe.morin@metroland.com
With an increase in usage since its beginnings in 2008, the North Dundas Green Food Bag program is healthier than ever. This past Friday morning, at the Winchester Community Centre, volunteers were busy filling more than 80 bags with produce destined to be picked up later in the day. By 9:30 a.m. volunteers at the Winchester community Hall had finished unloading a truck filled with vegetables. The back of the North Dundas township truck was filled with bags of potatoes, fresh corn, boxes of oranges, cucumber, cantaloupes, carrots and grapefruit. Meaghan Meerburg, community development programmer for North Dundas, described the program as a success. “We
started with 20 bags in 2008 and this month we have close to 90,” she said. Each bag costs $10 and is available to everyone in North Dundas. All of the money goes towards buying the vegetables at wholesale prices. There is no profit from the program. The executive director of Lazarus house in Mountain, Pauline Pratt had come across the idea of the Green Food Bag program at a conference and suggested the idea to the township’s recreation and culture committee. “The program is 100 per cent self-sustainable,” explained Meerburg. The unique partnership driving the Green Food Bag is the vegetables from Mike Dean’s Superstore, information and public awareness programs about the program courtesy of the East-
ern Ontario Health Unit and distribution by the township. Volunteers make the program possible. “Some of our volunteers have been with us for three years,” said Meerburg. “We are very fortunate to have the volunteers that we do.” Due to the interest in the program, the township will continue to promote it. “Our goal is to expand the program and increase the number of bags,” explained Meerburg. The All Things Food Network is also involved in the program. “It is a great way to help make fruits and vegetables accessible to everyone,” said Dana Kittle from All Things Food. Taking a moment from separating vegetables and putting them in bags, Kittle explained the concept of the latest program expected to take place in the fall. It is called

The ‘Giver kids’ and host Michael Lagimodiere celebrate the opening of the Amber Schening, 14, of Kemptville (second from left) builds the skatepark’s new ramp with fellow South Gower Park fitness trail and obstacle course on Monday, Aug. 29. The volunteers Derek Wendler (far left) and William Armour, and Michael Lagimodiere. revamped skatepark was unveiled on Wednesday, Aug. 31 at Riverside Park.
Action! Cameras roll on new skatepark, fitness trail
North Grenville had its moment in the spotlight this week as the TV Ontario series Giver came to town for the construction of Kemptville’s revamped skatepark and the new fitness trail and obstacle course in South Gower Park. About two dozen young volunteers filled Riverside Park last Thursday, Aug. 25 under the watchful eye of tradespeople and producer Kristen McGregor of Sinking Ship Entertainment. The eager youth painted the existing ramps and helped construct new ramps and other structures for the park, which will cater to beginners and advanced skaters and BMX bikers. Over the weekend, the work crew and more volunteers braved the fierce winds to build the fitness trail between the soccer and baseball fields at South Gower Park. The seven superhero-themed fitness stations along the obstacle course will give spectators something fun to do during games and practices at the nearby fields. Volunteer Dan Williams from Actons Corners loved the positive spirit among the whole crew. “I had a great time. Everyone here had an amazing attitude, and we also helped each other out,� he said. “We learned to mix cement by hand, and we used an auger to make holes. All the kids got to help out with digging, painting, using chainsaws. I think a lot of the volunteers don’t usually do that stuff, so it was great.� He said he was glad that so many local youth took ownership of the projects. “I feel better now that we’ve done it, since there’s pride that goes with it, and respect,� he said. After the freshly poured concrete settled over the weekend, crews returned to Riverside Park earlier this week to complete a skatepark that is expected to become a popular destination for local BMX and skateboard enthusiasts who previously were forced to travel out of town to find a more challenging or accessible park. Several teens who regularly used the previous park were consulted to help design the new one. Local trades did most of the construction work, helped by a small army of teenagers. The children and young adults featured on the program put a human face on the projects.
a short period of time.� Eight developers and construction companies donated cash or free labour from carpenters and landscapers, including EQ Homes, Kempten Realty, Lockwood Brothers Construction, Westerra Homes, Parkview Homes, PBM, Assured Quality Builders, and Settlers Grant. Other local businesses contributed materials and craft services to the project. 488579

At the South Gower ribbon-cutting, Mayor David Gordon praised the successful partnership between the municipality, “the expertise of the local trades and the interest and ambition of the youth and children.� “This project is another example of the great work that is done in North Grenville, where members of the municipality come together to build a better community,� he said. North Grenville will be featured in the 11th and 12th episodes of the 13-part TVO series. During a break on the job site, McGregor said it has been inspiring to see so many communities across the province transformed for kids, by kids. “These kids are great because they all have a really clear concept of what they wanted, which is really fun,� agreed builder-turned-TV host Michael Lagimodiere. “We’re trying to work to their desires, and it’s great to have that sort of input on the playground, because it makes it theirs.� Giver presented an opportunity for North Grenville’s business community to invest in youth, and businesses did not disappoint. A joint effort from the newly formed Home Builders Group of North Grenville, led by Robert Noseworthy of Westerra Homes, helped the project come in under budget. “We were looking for construction-based projects, as opposed to ‘let’s just give another $1000 to some charity group,’� Noseworthy said. “(Giver) gave us the opportunity to use the people and the skill sets we have to be able to build something like this over

Hundreds of Canadians descended on Parliament Hill on Monday, Aug. 22 to pay their respects to the man many said transformed not only the New Democratic Party but the Canadian political landscape. Jack Layton, leader of the official Opposition, passed away peacefully at his home in Toronto surrounded by family and loved ones, according to a statement released by his wife Olivia Chow. He was 61. A group of mourners shocked by the news of Layton’s death cried, lit candles and laid flowers around the Centennial Flame on Parliament Hill as the Canadian flag flew at half mast above the Peace Tower. “It is very sad, I can only hope we take Jack’s legacy and work together to build a better Canada,” said Vicky Smallman, an Ottawa resident and NDP supporter who was among those gathered. The NDP leader had been battling prostate cancer since February 2010 and had hip surgery just before the May 2 federal election. In July, Layton surprised many by announcing he was taking a temporary leave of absence to receive further treatment after doctors discovered he had a new cancer. Messages of condolence were issued throughout the day by politicians of every political stripe. Premier Dalton McGuinty said Ontarians and all Canadians will miss Layton’s passion, hard work and fighting spirit. “He always worked hard to represent his constituents, their interests and their needs. He was always a tireless

It was his leadership that inspired me, and so many others, to run for office.” Gov. Gen. David Johnston said Layton’s fundamental decency and his love of the country should serve as examples to us all.
“Mr. Layton was held in great esteem by Canadians for his passionate dedication to the public good,” Johnston’s message read. “Throughout his career as a community leader and politician, he constantly strived to bring people together in the common cause of building a better Canada, and he did so with great energy and commitment,” In a statement, Prime Minister Stephen Harper saluted Layton’s contribution to public life, a contribution he said will be sorely missed
“When I last spoke with Jack following his announcement in July, I wished him well and he told me he’d be seeing me in the House of Commons in the fall. “This, sadly, will no longer come to pass.” In a statement, the Canadian Cancer Society said it was deeply saddened to hear of Layton’s untimely death after battling cancer for a second time. “The Canadian Cancer Society will always be grateful for Jack Layton’s passionate efforts to improve the health of Canadians and to raise awareness and funds for our organization to help us in our mission to eradicate cancer and assist those living with the disease,” Peter Goodhand, the society’s president and chief executive officer, said in the statement. In a letter written two days before his death, dated Aug. 20 and released by his family on Monday, Layton called on other Canadians afflicted with the disease not to be discouraged that his own journey hasn’t gone as well as he had hoped. “You have every reason to be optimistic, determined, and focused on the future,” Layton wrote. “My only other advice is to cherish every moment with those you love at every stage of your journey, as I have done this summer.” He urged his party members to build on the progress they have garnered in the last couple of years and continue to move forward. “Let’s demonstrate in everything we do in the four years before us that we are ready to serve our beloved Canada as its next government.” A state funeral for Jack Layton was held at Roy Thomson Hall in Toronto on Saturday, Aug. 27.
Tradition of helping others Jack Layton was born July 18, 1950 in Montreal and was raised in Hudson, Que. His father, Robert Layton, was a Progressive Conservative cabinet member and his grandfather, Gilbert Layton, was a Quebec cabinet minister. He leaves behind his wife, Trinity-Spadina MP Olivia Chow, and two children, Sarah and Michael Layton. Political Career: Jack Layton was a City of Toronto councillor from 1982 to 1991. He was a Metro Toronto councillor from 1984 to 1988. Layton was deputy mayor of the City of Toronto in 1990. From 1994 to 1997, Layton again served as a Metro Toronto councillor. He was a City of Toronto councillor from 1997 to 2003. In 2001, Layton became the president of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. In 2003, Layton was elected federal NDP leader and was first elected to the House of Commons in the 2004 general election. In 2011, Layton led the NDP to its best-ever election result, securing 103 seats to form the official Opposition.

Still time for public input on trails strategy J.P. ANTONACCI jp.antonacci@metroland.com
One of the joys of summer in North Grenville is enjoying the area’s many walking and biking trails. Led by planning director and chief trails booster Forbes Symon, the municipality recently took a comprehensive look at the current state and future needs of the trail system, particularly regarding how to connect the existing 150 km of trails. As previously reported, public response to a survey conducted by consultants MMM Group earlier this year far exceeded expectations, with 480 respondents sharing their views with the municipality. “Sometimes I can sit up in my office as a planner involved with economic development and say trails are wonderful, people should use them,” Symon said. “But until we got that overwhelming survey response, where people talked about how important trails were for them, I didn’t really know whether (the message) was hitting the mark.” After several months of analysis, the consultants produced a report synthesizing the survey findings. Council then declared a period of public consultation for residents to read the report and offer feedback on MMM Group’s suggestions. At over 250 pages of detailed analysis, the report isn’t exactly beach reading. But it paints a clear and illuminating picture of the trail system residents want.
Trails should first and foremost be a place where residents can walk, run, bicycle and enjoy nature. Residents would like the trails to connect the hamlets and villages throughout North Grenville, and provide a real alternative to car traffic. “Roads are not trails” was an oft-repeated response. Coun. Terry Butler said the report exceeded his already lofty expectations. He envisions the development of ‘trail tourism’ that encourages residents and tourists to enjoy North Grenville’s natural and heritage features. Butler has high hopes for the trail system at the Ferguson Forest Centre (FFC), along with the upcoming Veterans Park and arboretum. “To me, as a member of the Rideau Heritage Route Tourism Associaiton, when we get that all done, that will be one of the biggest jewels (of the route),” he said. Symon is excited about several “creative and affordable” solutions to help pedestrians safely cross County Road 43, removing a significant access barrier and connecting urban Kemptville to the FFC trails. It defeats the purpose to drive to a walking trail, Symon pointed out, and pedestrian-only stoplights along County Road 43 make “a ton of sense.” FFC director John Wilson is working with Symon to link the centre’s 2.3 km forest management trail with the municipal system, and bring the trails up to provincial standards through increased
signage. The report recommended that all future development and public works proposals be cross-referenced with the trails strategy, a suggestion that if approved by council would send a powerful signal that North Grenville greatly values its green space. The consultants’ final recommendations amount to an approximately $18 million investment over a 20-year period. However, $12 million is tied into the municipality paving the shoulders of roads within the trails network so pedestrians can safely walk on level ground, which is something the municipality can do piecemeal as roads are repaved. “When you take that out of the equation, it’s really a modest amount over a 20-year period that’s going to trails,” Symon said, adding that the additional benefits of paved shoulders to improve longevity of roads for all users, including cars, makes this an attractive option for all involved. The North Grenville Integrated Community Trails Strategy report is available online at northgrenville.on.ca/trailstudy.cfm, at the North Grenville Public LiJ.P. Antonacci Photo/Advance Staff brary, and the Municipal Centre. The public consultation period Forbes Symon, pictured here on the Turtle Trail, welends Sept. 15. comes public input on the trails strategy.
Layton’s lesson to a young journalist J.P. ANTONACCI jp.antonacci@metroland.com
Like many young journalists in Toronto, I crossed paths with Jack Layton, albeit briefly, while writing for The Varsity, the University of Toronto’s campus newspaper. Layton often used U of T’s athletic centre, and it was after an early morning workout that he bicycled over to the Varsity office for a chat with the editorial team. As luck would have it, the previous evening’s production had run particularly late, even by our quasi-nocturnal standards. A refreshed and energetic Layton strode into the newsroom, propped his bike against the wall, brushed aside the empty pizza boxes and crumpled sheets of paper littering the conference table, and opened wide his arms, as if to say, “Ask me anything.” There was a moment of awkward silence as eight bleary-eyed editors looked at the leader of a federal political party and couldn’t summon a single coherent thought. Grinning at our fatigue, Layton rescued us by talking about his time as a professor at Ryerson, and how the U of T campus had changed over the years. We eventually marshalled our intellect and had a lively, informative conversation. Having since had the occasion to interview many politicians, I can confirm
what has become one of the most-repeated reflections about the late NDP leader – he addressed everyone as his equal, and really listened to what others had to say. That he took the time to visit a bunch of student journalists was telling enough; that he took our questions about his party and social issues seriously, and in turn expected us to be well-informed on those issues, was a kindness we all appreciated. Impressively, he even left us with a few local story ideas to investigate, directing us to specific individuals and businesses, which is no mean feat considering how many files a national politician has to monitor. I imagine we all called him Mr. Layton at that first meeting, as one does. But “Jack” taught those young, skeptical, world-weary editors a lesson that day. He didn’t come by our office to score political points, or to stage a photo op with starry-eyed students. Instead, it was clear that he came out of a sincere desire to be of service to us, and by extension, to the community we covered. Many editors in that newsroom have gone on to careers in journalism, and Layton’s lesson – that politicians and journalists alike exist not to feed their own egos, but to serve their communities – remains a guiding principle in our work to this day. Thanks for the reminder, Jack.

Low flows could hamper boaters Thanks to a dry, hot summer, the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) has issued a warning for those wanting to boat on the Rideau River watershed. Authority staff will continue to monitor low water levels and flows – which were below long-term averages for the end of July – and could impose mandatory cutbacks, the RVCA said in a release. With little significant rain in area weather forecasts, the RVCA has already
initiated the first level of the Ontario Low Water Response program. The first phase recommends voluntary conservation measures. The last time the RVCA issued a Level 1 Low Water declaration was in September 2005.

HOW DOES THEIR GARDEN GROW? David Watson of St. John’s United Church in Kemptville displays some of the colourful produce on sale at the church’s weekly farmers’ market. Watson and other volunteers set up in the parking lot of the church at 400 Prescott St. every Saturday morning from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. Parishioners donate cucumbers, beets, beans, squash tomatoes and other green goodies from their own gardens. The veggies, along with some baked goods, are sold to raise money for the Canadian FoodGrains Bank, which in turn buys grain destined for areas of East Africa stricken by famine. Unsold produce is donated to local food banks. The market will continue till mid-September, or until the produce runs out.

RIDEAU AUCTION BOUNCES BACK Rideau Auctions in Winchester had their liquidation sale building gutted by a fire on June 24. The early morning blaze destroyed all of their stock. This past Monday Rideau Auction owners met with contractors to plan for a new building. In the meantime they have rented space at 301 Van Buren Street to offer their customers continued service. The next time a sale will be held will be Wednesday, Sept. 7 from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Thursday, Sept. 8 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Friday, Sept. 9 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. In this photo Barb and Dave Delaney take a look at some of the items on sale.
Busy summer for Pathfinders ALLISON BROWN Oxford Mills Pathfinders
The past year, the Oxford Mills Pathfinders were busy at work, preparing for their annual summer camp and wrapping up the year. They had a wonderful first year. The pathfinders are a strong group; accomplishing the first part towards their Canada Cord. Many girls earned their Canadian Citizenship Award. With their summer camp that took place during the first week of July, the Oxford Mills Pathfinders were accompanied by the Oxford Mills Guides at Charleston Lake Provincial Park. There, the girls enjoyed a week of fun filled activities like crafts, biking, shelter building, campfires, and visits to the beach. Girls ages 12-15 interested in joining the
Oxford Mills Pathfinder unit, met at the KSK Snowmobile Clubhouse on August 28 to discover topographical and trail maps. They also hiked about 3 km to a pool for a BBQ and a pool party.
The group played games and swam all afternoon to kick off a second year of pathfinders. For more information about the pathfinders please contact Ann Robinson at 613-882-5147.

‘Soggy Bottom’ wins classic boat show award JOSEPH MORIN joe.morin@metroland.com
Carol Ann Arsenault and Susan Moir had not planned to become experts at restoring classic boats when they purchased their Peterborough boat in 1999. In this year’s Ottawa International Antique and Classic Boat Show, put on by the Manotick Classic Boat Club, their affectionately nicknamed Soggy Bottom, took home three awards. One for the degree of craftsmanship judges found in the work they had done on their boat, a second was the top award for the classic boat of the show and finally the people’s choice award. “I was so impressed that we won the classic boat of the show award,” said Arsenault. One of the reasons for that particular award was the amount of original wood that was still a part of the boat. Made in the early 1950s by the Peterborough Boat Company, the small craft driven by a 10 horsepower motor was a typical craft cottage owners would have owned. Almost 70 years later there are not many of these types of crafts around. Moir and Arsenault live out-
side of Heckston. They have had a cottage in Quebec for years and only last year gave it up. They had purchased Soggy Bottom to be used at their cottage as a boat to picnic in or just drive around enjoying the summer. Now it was sitting waiting for summer in their garage. Having no cottage to retreat to they found they had a lot of time on their hands to do things around their home. Arsenault operates Aresenault Appliances and, coming from a family where she had lived around her father’s carpentry projects, she is no stranger to working with her hands. “We started to do a lot of stripping by ourselves, but then we realized we needed more professional work done,” remembers Arsenault. The cedar planks at the end of the boat were showing their age. The boat went off to MillarPotter Boat Restoration outside of Manotick. The rotting planks were expertly replaced but the hull and the interior of the craft had to be refinished. The two decided to restore their boat as much as possible. The steering column was moved from the very front of the boat
with a complete sanding in between each layer. Arsenault remembers how each layer had a different varnish to paint thinner ratio. The final coat was at least 95 per cent varnish and only 5 per cent paint thinner. The challenge at that point was applying the very thick coat of varnish in a way that wouldn’t see it dry in globs. By the time all of varnishing was complete Soggy Bottom had a glass-like finish. “We love this boat so much,” said Arsenault as she explained how at the boat show both her and Moir wore their voices out talking to people about their boat. This was the first time they had ever entered a boat in any kind of competition and they thoroughly enjoyed it. “I was impressed with how the afternoon went,” remembered Arsenault, referring to the afternoon at the Long Island Locks near Manotick where the show was held. “We met some really nice people.” The end result of all that work is a beautifully restored boat they use for pleasure. “This is not just a show boat,” said Arsenault.

Carol Ann Aresenault sits behind the wheel of the award winning Peterborough boat. back to where it originally had started out. The outboard motor, an original 1956 10 hps Johnson along with the original gas tank, were refinished as well. A friend, Doug Whitehorn, painted the motor, returning it to its original look and colours. Meanwhile Arsenault and Moir started to sand the boat down. Arsenault connected the hull to a hoist in their garage.
Raised the boat off of its trailer until it was suspended in the air. She then flipped the hull over so that she could work around it. The lower portion of the hull was sanded with an electronic sander but the top section and the inside all had to be sanded down by hand in preparation for varnishing. The two managed to put six layers of varnish on the boat

Police warn of financial scams The Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry (SDG) Detachment of the OPP reminds everyone to be very careful of anyone requesting they wire money to assist an injured relative or someone who has been arrested and requiring bail money to be wired. There are also several other scams where people are told they have won money but need to send some money first to secure their prize. Others want you to hold onto millions of dollars as their country is under siege etc. SDG OPP have received a complaint of a scam where a suspect contacted an unsuspecting person and identifying himself as a relative or grandchild who is sick and is in dire need of cash to be wired through Western Union for medical expenses. Do not wire anyone any money if you are not sure who they really are. Please obtain as much caller information such as phone numbers and addresses etc, and contact police if you are unsure or contact another family member to verify if the call is genuine. CHECK YOUR BRAKES Over the last few months a number of off-road vehicles have been stopped and checked by police while on trails and roadways. Unfortunately, an increased number have had either no brakes or no rear brakes. It is extremely dangerous to operate any vehicle with mechanical failures or malfunctions. The law requires that all brakes on off-road vehicles be in proper working order. As with all vehicles, regular maintenance and a pre-trip check is crucial to safe travel.
If there are equipment issues, have a qualified mechanic check and repair the unit.
Conservation needed as South Nation water levels low STAFF
CHARITY BARBECUES STILL SIZZLING The OPP Charity Barbecues continue to be a great success, with $603.95 going to the Kemptville Youth Centre and $555 to D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education). The OPP thanks Prudential Real Estate and the North Grenville Police Services Board for their sponsorship. POLICE BLOTTER The OPP is investigating several incidents in North Grenville. On Aug. 15, police received a report of a stolen truck from a residence on Actons Corner Road. Sometime between Saturday and Monday morning, culprit(s) forced open a locked gate and stole a 2000 white Ford F450 with a green dump box. On the evening of Aug. 20, police received a report of a possible impaired driver westbound on County Road 43 in Kemptville. The GMC Sierra pick-up was located in the McDonald’s drive-thru at the Kemptville Mall. The driver had a strong smell of an alcoholic beverage and registered a “fail” on the road side screening device. The driver was transported to Kemptville OPP detachment for an intoxilyzer test, and later charged with driving a motor vehicle with over 80 mgs of alcohol. A total of 10 cans of beer, three of which were empty, were seized from the truck.
South Nation Conservation (SNC)’s Water Response Team has issued a Level 1 Low Water Condition across the South Nation River watershed. Below normal average stream flows for July and August mean that there is the potential for a low water supply problem to develop if water use is not reduced by ten percent through voluntary conservation. The Water Response Team encourages residents to reduce water usage by repairing all leaks around the home, watering the lawn in the early morning or late evening to reduce evaporation, and use water collected in a rain barrel or while running the tap to water plants. There are three levels of low water conditions. A Level 2 condition involves conservation and restrictions on non-essential water use. A Level 3 condition could mean restriction and regulation to reduce water use. Under the Ontario Low Water Response Program, conservation authorities have each
formed a Water Response Team to ensure that the public is provided with advance warning of reduced water availability, and to involve local stakeholders in the decision-making process. The SNC Water Response Team, made up of representatives from provincial and municipal governments, agriculture, and special interest groups, met recently to discuss the effects of low water in the watershed. Low water conditions have adverse effects on groundwater, which could result in dry wells. Trees, agriculture, fish, and water quality are also affected. “Lower flows can result in higher pollutant concentrations and lower oxygen levels for aquatic fauna, particularly fish,” said SNC water resources specialist Katherine Watson. Though the watershed has recently received a significant amount of rainfall, the Level 1 Low Water Condition continues as an extended period of low-intensity rain is required for the stream flows to normalize.

saw more skating and scrimmages as their learning curve increased. On Saturday, Aug. 27, a team made up of some veterans, draft choices and prospective players travelled to Gloucester to challenge the Rangers. This was the 73’s game all the way. They won all the battles and peppered the Gloucester goalies with 50 shots on their way to a 5-3 victory. On Sunday, another group of players travelled to Smiths Falls to play the Bears. The Bears put up a good fight and scored the go-ahead goal with less than five minutes left in the game to win by a score of 3-2. Assistant Coach, Al Shanks ran the bench while the rest of the coaching staff continued to evaluate the players.
Special to the Advance
The Kemptville 73’s opened their 2011-2012 training camp on Aug. 19 with 45 plus veterans and hopefuls ready to try to earn a spot on this year’s team. After intense skating drills and dry land training on Friday and Saturday, a team of rookies made the trip to Pembroke on Sunday. Taking on the Lumber Kings is always a daunting task, but now that they are the defending national Junior A champions, it makes it even harder. In what was a 2-1 game in the second period, Pembroke scored four times in a three and one half minute span to make a 6-1 game. The Kings cruised on to an 8-2 final. Back in Kemptville, the team
After the game, coach Shanks stated, “Their execution is continually improving and there is no doubt we are going to be a very fast team this year.” As the camp moves forward, the number of players looking for a roster spot continues to dwindle. This week, the Pembroke Lumber Kings come to town on Wednesday, Aug. 31 for a 7:30 p.m. game. Then on Labour Day weekend, before school starts, the Gloucester Rangers will be here Friday, Sept. 2 for a puck drop at 7:30 p.m. and then on Sunday, Sept. 4, the Smiths Falls Bears will provide the opposition for a 2:00 p.m. game.

Ladies Nine and Dine at Rideau Glen There was a putting contest and a raffle for a 24 inch flat screen combo. The Happy Gilmor Hole gave golfers a chance to win a $100 gift certificate for Sugold Jewellers. Bringing effective healthcare solutions to rural parts of Ontario is one of he mandates of the KDH. The population growth expected in North Grenville challenges the needs and services of the hospital. The nearest mammography unit that can provide the services needed is over 30 minutes away. The hospital has been approved as an official partner of the Ontario Breast Screening Program. Mammography and access to the OBSP are beginning this year. KDH will need $760,000 by 2012 to purchase the equipment they will need.

For a second year, the Ladies Nine and Dine fundraising event was held at the Rideau Glen Golf Course. The growing fundraising day of golf generated an estimated $4,000 to be donated to the Kemptville District Hospital’s, (KDH), MamCam project. The event was held on Tuesday, August 23 and the threatening bad weather held off long enough for all of the golfers to get out on the course and have some fun. The KDH has plans to serve the almost 11,000 women in the area aged between 50 and 69 year’s old. Under the Ontario Breast Screening Program these women are eligible for a mammogram. Breast cancer rates are higher in North Grenville and Ottawa West
than in other parts of the country. The cancer mortality rate is also higher in these areas. Amanda Arsenault of Caldwell Banker and Jennifer Young Droeske of RBC Royal Bank organize the event each year. “We had 42 register last year and this year that increased to 59,” said Arsenault. She said the fundraiser was a success. The weather was perfect, the dinner and all of the prizes was great. “It was a delicious dinner,” said Arsneault. “We were so impressed with the dinner last year that we did it again this year.” The afternoon of best ball golf featured prizes for just about everyone. There was a prize for the team with the best costume as well as a 50/50 draw that netted $145 to the winner.
