Clark captures easy win in Leeds-Grenville DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Of all of the 37 Progressive Conservative candidates elected or re-elected across the province last week, Steve Clark and his volunteers had more than enough reason to feel election fatigue. While the Ontario election stretched the time, patience, resources and money of Tory volunteers with last year’s municipal elections, and last May’s federal vote, Leeds-Grenville Tories had to contend with Clark’s by-election campaign in March 2010. “The Leeds-Grenville team is second-to-none,” said Clark during his victory speech at The Mill Restaurant on Water Street in downtown Brockville on Oct. 6. “It’s been a hard 30 days…(But) it’s wonderful to have such a wonderful PC family. I feel extremely fortunate. The last year-and-ahalf have been a good learning experience for me.” With Ontario electing its first minority government to Queen’s Park since 1985, Clark said that he still knew where his priorities were. “It doesn’t matter if it’s a majority or a minority government…it’s Leeds-Grenville first, that’s who I represent,” said Clark. “My job is to represent the people who elected me.” He also pointed out that, during his time in Toronto, he witnessed the three parties working together to pass important legislation and private member’s bills. While Clark was glad that he was re-elected, and that the party

saw its seat total and share of the popular vote increase, he admitted that the evening was bittersweet. “Obviously, you hope for a majority when you start an election,” said Clark, who added that one of his priorities will be private sector job creation. He also noted that he was sad to see that “voter turnout was not where it should have been.” While Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak did not meet expectations amongst some Tories, that the party would return to government, Clark did not question his loyalty to his leader. “I think we need to band together,’ said Clark. “We have a big job as an opposition. We’ll be a united caucus.” Leeds-Grenville MP Gord Brown knows a thing or two about minority governments, having served in three of them. “We always had to plan for an election,” he said of his time on the government benches between 2006 and 2011. “We were always planning for an election.” Had the Tories formed a government, or if they do so in the future, Brown predicts a strong role for his friend of 30 years. “I’d have really loved to see Steve as a minister in a Hudak government,” said Brown. “I’m disappointed that Tim Hudak didn’t win. (But) it’s a wonderful night for Steve and Tories. He does a great job as a Tory MPP (and) it’s a vote of confidence.” Photo by Desmond Devoy Brown admitted that there was a bit of voter fatigue in the riding, Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark is surrounded by members of the mereflected in the voter turnout. dia during a cramped media scrum at his election night victory party at See CLARK on page 2 The Mill restaurant in Brockville on Oct. 6.

Clark enjoys election night victory Continued from the front “It’s disappointing,” said campaign worker Ed Teague of Spencerville, who was in charge of putting up election signs, as he watched the election results roll in with his friends. But as for Clark’s election, “we didn’t think there would be a problem,” he said. But having worked on Brown’s campaign as well as Clark’s, Teague is ready to go again if needed, fixed election dates notwithstanding. “We’ll be working at

Newly re-elected Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark smiles to supporters as he receives a hero’s welcome at his election night party at The Mill restaurant in Brockville, accompanied by his wife Deanna on Oct. 6. “If you live in Brockville, you see a lot of NDP signs,” Greenham said, before adding, “on lawns (that is), not in ditches!” He also noted that Green Party candidate Charlie Taylor would have done better had he had more “troops” on the ground. While Greenham commended the work of former Leeds-Grenville Tory MPP Bob Runciman, now a senator, he surmised that

Officer operations manager Don Greenham said he was surprised with some of the numbers for NDP candidate David Lundy. “The NDP has been campaigning hard,” admitted Greenham. “I thought they would be higher. I was expecting Lundy to be in second place.” Greenham also pointed out that he expected better NDP numbers from Gananoque and Brockville.

A bagpiper playing Scotland the Brave leads newly elected Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry MPP Jim McDonell and his wife Margie into McDonell’s victory party in Cornwall on Oct. 6. The Liberals and Conservatives did take a near identical share of the popular vote, with 37.62 per cent for the Liberals versus 35.43 per cent for the PCs. McDonell looks forward to “making a bigger difference” as he leaves the mayor’s chair in South Glengarry and heads to Queen’s Park. He said that as mayor he found it difficult to get funding for roads and infrastructure in recent years, and pledges to push for predictable funding for municipalities from the province. “It has to be a team approach,” he said. Local MP Guy Lauzon, whose strong performance has kept the riding Conservative at the federal level, was on hand to offer his support to McDonell, who thanked his counterpart for advice and guidance during the campaign.

“Guy gave people the confidence that this is a Conservative riding and we’re going to keep it that way,” said McDonell’s campaign manager, Eric Duncan. Duncan, who is mayor of North Dundas, was not surprised by McDonell’s wide margin of victory. He sees this election as part of the gradual trend of rural Ontario toward Conservatism. “The Liberals won two ridings in rural Ontario, and they won them barely. So I think that’s a loud message there, and Jim’s going to be continuing that message,” Duncan said. McDonell will advocate for relief on “everyday pocketbook issues” like HST on hydro bills and look for a “pragmatic and reasonable” approach to green energy, said Duncan.

After falling just one seat short of a majority, the provincial Liberals are likely looking with regret at ridings that slipped away. Put Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry on that list. Liberal candidate Mark MacDonald sought to hold the traditionally Liberal riding by promising to continue the infrastructure-rich legacy of his wellregarded predecessor, longtime MPP Jim Brownell, who retired before the campaign. The media predicted a close race. Instead, Progressive Conservative Jim McDonell won in a landslide with 21,615 votes, topping MacDonald and the NDP’s Elaine MacDonald, who finished with 8,438 and 8,078, respectively. Justin Reist of the Green Party collected 553, with 400 voters casting their ballot for the Libertarian Darcy Neal Donnelly. Voters overwhelmingly opted for a fresh approach in a riding that has seen employment fall and hydro costs rise. “We really saw, going door to door, people were very much looking for change,” McDonell said soon after arriving to his victory celebration at the Ramada Inn in Cornwall on Oct. 6. “Our job really is working with our constituents and looking out for their needs. It’s unfortunate that we can’t look at making some major changes in Ontario.” He expressed hope that a Legislature with many new members – including a significant gain for the Conservatives – could bring a fresh approach to governance. “People are saying they need some fiscal responsibility exerted at the upper tier, and they’re not seeing that. So we’ll go in and we’ll govern as a responsible opposition,” he said. The newly elected MPP brings 17 years experience in municipal politics plus a stint as warden of the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry to his new role at Queen’s Park. McDonell was hesitant to blame PC leader Tim Hudak for not convincing more of the electorate to vote Tory. “It seemed to be an election when nobody wanted to talk about the realities of what was happening. Maybe it’s a rural area, where they have a little more respect for the debt,” he said, contrasting his party’s fiscal approach with the Liberals. “I really think that right now we’re on the verge of some issues in Ontario, and the people of Ontario didn’t want to think about them.”

OPINION

Kemptville Advance - October 13 2011

Election indigestion The weather was sunny. The date was set years ago. Advance polling options were more numerous than ever. And still, voter turnout in Ontario on Oct. 6 hit an all-time low. Apathy, that most heinous of political sins, abounded in Ontario. Dalton McGuinty narrowly missed a majority re-election and will have to settle for a 53-seat minority government. But with less than half of eligible voters marking an “X,” we have to wonder if his government really represents the will of the electorate. McGuinty’s Liberals picked up 37.62 per cent of the popular vote. But since only about five million voters hit the polls, only about 22 per cent of the approximately 8.5 million eligible voters favoured a Liberal government. Officially, the turnout recorded on Oct. 6 was 49.2 per cent. That was down from the previous all-time low, which was set in – wait for it – 2007, dur-

ing the last provincial election. There was one bright light in this apathetic mess. Improved advance polling and other options to make casting a ballot more accessible were successful: 650,000 Ontarians voted before election day. At least Ontario is still doing better than the Northwest Territories, where 35 per cent of eligible voters cast ballots in a recent election. But Manitoba’s general election last week yielded 57 per cent turnout. PEI had an astounding 76 per cent turnout – and that was low for the Maritime province. So what is the issue here? Are the leaders too boring? Did the issues and platforms fail to resonate with citizens? Have people lost sight of their civic duty? Voter turnout can be a pretty accurate measure of how much we care. Here in Ontario, after three elections – municipal, federal and now provincial – in less than 365 days, it’s probably safe to say that voters were simply tired of caring.

Whatever you do, don’t go downtown

ne of the uglier little stories of the year is the one about Air Canada deciding to keep its employees out of downtown Winnipeg. The airline, saying that “several downtown locations are susceptible to crimes of violence and opportunity,” decided that its employees would overnight at hotels near the airport. So much for supporting a city that has supported Air Canada over the years. For Winnipeggers that was nasty enough, considering that the city has a crime rate below many well-known U.S. cities Air Canada visits, but the really nasty part was to come. That was the bit in the company email about instances of public intoxication being connected to “approximately 1,000 displaced people from rural Manitoba.” Winnipeg people knew what that meant: it meant native people forced from their homes by flooding. As if that was not enough, now they don’t get a chance to associate with Air Canada pilots. Air Canada has apologized in a classic example of the nonapology apology. “It appears that certain inferences are being drawn from the contents of a recent internal bulletin relating to accommodation for flight crews on overnight layover in Winnipeg,” said

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

a corporate email. “Air Canada wishes to state categorically it had no intent to cause offence to any individual or group and apologizes if it inadvertently did so.” In other words, we didn’t do it, but we’re sorry if you think so. The story can be viewed on many levels, such as the economic one, where a city is trying desperately to rebuild its downtown and succeeding little by little when a big company kicks it in the teeth. The Winnipeg Free Press tried to have a little fun with the story, asking its readers whether they would recommend a downtown hotel to out-of-town friends. Almost 10,000 of them replied. A third of them said downtown was unsafe and their friends should stay at a suburban hotel. The statement, “There’s some nice hotels downtown, but stay inside after dark,” was supported by a larger

group, 38 per cent, and 29 per cent said downtown is fun: let’s have a night on the town. When you take into consideration that the suburbs of any big city, including Ottawa, contain people who are afraid to go downtown and never do, it seems that the majority of Winnipeggers are not unduly alarmed. Maybe that’s because they know that there’s more harm can come to you inside the hotel than out – room service, mini-bars, ironing boards that fall out of the closet, not to mention overly enthusiastic folks in the hotel bar who don’t happen to be displaced people from rural Manitoba. On a somewhat more serious level, it’s possible to see Winnipeg as the front line in a struggle between cities and corporations. What if more big companies decide to keep their travelling employees at the airport inn? What if the practice spreads to more cities than Winnipeg? It could happen. There are places in Ottawa you wouldn’t want to go to late at night with your pilot’s uniform on. How can we the fight back? The obvious answer is to launch elaborate public relations campaigns on how safe their downtowns are. But such campaigns

will inevitably fail. All it takes is one well-publicized mugging to blot the city’s reputation. Maybe, instead, the answer is to be proactive. This would involve taking a vote at city council meetings to decide which big companies are welcome downtown. The rest have to stay at the airport. If they want to come downtown, let them beg. Or pay. Think of the revenue potential. The effect will be to make downtown more attractive, because it is forbidden. True, bar and restaurant owners might object at first, but eventually, visitors will flock to downtown because they know they are in no danger of being accosted by Air Canada vice-presidents.

There’s a new trend, I noticed, where some people are doing away with the annual Thanksgiving dinner and all of its overabundance. They argue that we should be thankful every day of the year, and not just the second Monday in October. Well, I agree with that concept, but I think that most of us need a reminder to give thanks for all our blessings. The stat holiday helps us to do that, and to get together with family and friends for the occasion. The cornucopia of food doesn’t have to be wasteful either. Not much goes to waste in this house. We have college students, hungry yuppies, barn kitties and farm dogs who will gladly take any leftovers (and usually in that order too). We also live in the best country in the world, and arguably the best province in that country. Those of us who have lived elsewhere can testify to that truth. And for those who insist on raining on our Thanksgiving parade, they can just stick a drumstick in it. I’m not listening.

SD&SG election breaks with tradition JOSEPH MORIN joe.morin@metroland.com

The election on Thursday night featured its share of surprises. In Stormont Dundas and South Glengarry, (SD&G) nearly 25 years of Liberal representation at Queens Park came to an abrupt end. Conservative Jim McDonell, a veteran of municipal politics, was able to make a successful bid for the SD&SG seat in Toronto. Along the way, he created disappointment for Liberal candidate Mark A. MacDonald and NDP veteran Elaine MacDonald. As of early Friday morning, McDonnell had 21,615 votes with Mark A. MacDonald way back with 8,483. NDP Elaine MacDonald was not far behind the second place spot with 8,478. Darcy Neal Donnelly running for the Libertarian party garnered 400 votes and Justin Reist running for the Green Party came up with 553. Losing the election was a blow for the liberal party in the riding. However, MacDonald was pragmatic about it. “We worked as hard as we could,” he said to a large hushed group of supporters in the basement of the Knights of Columbus Hall in downtown Cornwall. “I do not think we could have done anything different,” he said. “That is life,” he added as the reality of the loss sank in. Later he talked about his concern for the province in the future. “We need to have stability,” he said.

“I do not think the province needs a minority government,” he explained. Macdonald admitted that the campaign took its toll on him and family. He was not sure what the future would bring. Now that the election is over, he is looking forward to spending time with his family and friends. “It was a grueling campaign,” he said. The future of the Liberal party in ASD&G is not in question, said Christine Shaver who works with retiring SD&G Liberal MPP Jim Brownell at Queens Park. “We have a strong group of people here,” she said. “our Liberal association will still be working alongside those Liberals who were elected,” she explained. Some Liberal supporters wondered how voters could have ever forgotten all of the work that Jim Brownell did for them over the past eight years. For Elaine MacDonald the election is a turning point for her party. “I feel energized,” she said, pointing out that locally, the NDP had tripled its vote. She believes the SD&SG, NDP party is going through a positive upswing in voter interest and support. “We have been building support since 2000,” she said. “We not only increased our vote but put together a great team for the future.” Macdonald assured supporters that she would be involved one way or another with NDP efforts in the future. “I will still be part of the next election,” she explained. Brian Lynch, the president of the NDP riding association in SD&G was frustrated as he watched the results of

Liberal Dalton McGuinty has managed to secure a third term as premier in Ontario, winning a 53-seat minority that was only one seat short of his coveted third majority. In his late night victory speech the premier refused to concede a minority, suggesting “we may not know for several days what the results will be in all

the ridings” and that those tight races could yet give him his third majority. Tim Hudak’s Progressive Conservatives scored 37 seats, adding 12 to their ranks, and the New Democrats took 17, adding seven. That one-short minority could easily turn into a majority over the course of McGuinty’s third term. Jonathon Malloy, political science professor at Carleton University and an ex-

Driving patients for cancer society can be a rewarding experience By Gena Gibson

hen Dr. Anna Cornel retired from her position at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, she still wanted to give back to the community. The Perth resident chose cancer patients as the beneﬁciary of her community service, driving clients to cancer treatments on a regular basis through the Canadian Cancer Society’s volunteer driver program. “I really enjoy it,” she stressed. “You meet a lot of interesting people, and a lot of the pick-ups are rural, so you see different areas (you may not normally drive through).” Cornel has driven for the Canadian Cancer Society for three-and-a-half years now, e-mailing the co-ordinator before the beginning of each month to let them know when she will be available. She said she can drive as often as twice a week, but it is more often two or three times a month. “I was retired, and looking for something to do,” Cornel explained. “I’ve collected for the Canadian Cancer Society for years.” As a captain of the April canvassing campaign, Cornel knew how important the Canadian Cancer Society was for cancer patients. Attending a kick-off meeting for the campaign a few years ago, she heard about the need for volunteer drivers and decided she could help. She drives mainly to Ottawa, but has been to Kingston, Brockville and Carleton Place as well. The Queensway-Carleton Hospital is the site for many of the treatments for this area, since it opened the Irving Greenberg Family Cancer Centre in February 2010. Cornel said she usually drops patients off at the treatment centre for three to four hours, but sometimes for as little

as 15 minutes. She said some volunteer drivers do stay at the hospital and spend the time drinking coffee and reading magazines, but she prefers to use her time shopping, going for a walk or visiting a gallery. “I don’t think I’ve had any unpleasant drives,” Cornel stressed. She said clients are usually cancer patients who are older, and don’t have relatives in the area who can drive them to treatments. As a former doctor at CHEO, Cornel said she has some insight on the best free parking spots at area hospitals, saving the Canadian Cancer Society some money. The society pays for mileage and parking for volunteer drivers, with about 3,900 rides in 2010 costing more than $133,000. The Lanark, Leeds & Grenville Unit of the Canadian Cancer Society is pleased to partner with Metroland Media, Lake 88.1 FM and BrockNews as sponsors of Wheels of Hope. If you would like to volunteer your time to become a volunteer driver or donate money to help get a local cancer patient to their cancer treatments you can call (613) 267-1058 or 1 800 3672913 or contribute online at www.cancer.ca/wheelsofhopeLLG.

pert on Ontario politics, said that with a “major minority” of 53 seats, the Liberals could be looking to attract members from another party across the floor in order to secure a majority. “With 53 seats, you have to think that you only need one person, one Belinda Stronach-type figure,” Malloy said. “Both Mr. Hudak and Ms. Horwath will have to be a little sensitive to the fact that if they anger just one member, they could get that person to cross the floor to the Liberals and it could change a lot of things.” McGuinty was greeted like a celebrity at his campaign wrap-up at the Chateau Laurier downtown Ottawa, where a tense but giddy crowd gathered in the elegant ballroom to watch the results roll in. Spontaneous cheers rose up now and then as the Liberals hit 54 seats time and again, with seat counts flip-flopping between 53 and 54 for several hours. McGuinty’s speech was gracious and hinted at the party’s close brush with failure this election. “Ontarians are telling us, ‘We are placing our trust in you but we expect you to work even harder, listen more than ever, give us nothing but your best every day. But most of all we demand that you lead.’ Because we are Ontario and that’s what we do. We lead,” he told the crowd. The tight race didn’t seem to resonate with voters, however, since the election yielded the lowest voter turnout in Ontario’s history. Malloy said the all-time low turnout of 49.2 per cent (down from 52.8 per cent in the 2007 provincial election) is “very concerning.” “Here is a great, competitive race, with the outcome so uncertain, and yet large numbers of people don’t turn out,” Mal-

loy said, adding that research hasn’t yielded a clear answer of what factors contribute to low voter turnout. Supporters young and old waited patiently throughout the evening, riding out a partial power outage at the top-rated hotel and mingling with media until the premier finally showed up around midnight. Ottawa South federal MP David McGuinty was circulating through the crowd, with nothing but good words for his brother. “I think his campaign was flawless,” David McGuinty said. “I think what you saw in this campaign in terms of his leadership is what you get as a person. He is thoughtful and sincere. As a brother I worry about him because he carries the weight of this responsibility. He’s hardwired that way.” McGuinty, 56, has won five consecutive elections in Ottawa South since his father and former Ottawa South MPP Dalton Sr. died in 1990. After his second win in the 1995 provincial election, McGuinty began his bid to become leader of the party, which he achieved against all odds in 1996. He became premier in 2003 and held the post for eight years. McGuinty was born in Ottawa and attended St. Patrick’s High School before earning a bachelor degree at McMaster University and studying law at the University of Ottawa. He and his wife, Terri, have four adult children. McGuinty grew up with nine siblings. He contested the Ottawa South riding against Progressive Conservate Jason MacDonald, New Democrat Wali Farah, Green candidate James Mihaychuk, and Party for People with Special Needs candidate John Redins.

Mac’s Milk bandits arrested STAFF The armed robbery of the Mac’s Milk convenience store on Rideau Street in Kemptville on Oct. 1 was the start of a mini crime spree that ended in two arrests, police say. Two Ottawa men were arrested on Oct. 5 in connection with the Kemptville robbery, as well as hold-ups at two other Mac’s Milk locations. The two suspects were pulled over by Russell County OPP on Highway 17 just after 2 a.m. on Oct. 5 after the report of a Mac’s store on Laurier Street in Rockland.

The subsequent police investigation linked the two men, aged 52 and 25, with armed robberies of Mac’s stores in Prescott on Oct. 3 and Kemptville. A 52-year-old Ottawa man was charged with robbery with a firearm, two counts of wearing a disguise with intent to commit a criminal act, possession of marijuana, and breach of probation. The 25-year-old was charged with three counts of disguise with intent, two counts of robbery with a firearm, and marijuana possession. The pair appeared in Brockville court last Thursday for a bail hearing.

SUGOLD BREAK-IN SUSPECTS IN COURT Three men charged in an Aug. 16 break and enter at Sugold Jewellers in Kemptville appeared in Kemptville court on Oct. 5 and had their court date put over to Nov. 2 at the request of the accused. No plea was entered. CHECK YOUR BRAKES It is extremely dangerous to operate any vehicle with mechanical failures or malfunctions.

North Grenville housing starts continue to impress J.P. ANTONACCI jp.antonacci@metroland.com

After a record-breaking 2010 for construction in North Grenville, building contiues to boom in the municipality in 2011. Planning director Forbes Symon told Committee of the Whole on Oct. 3 that North Grenville has seen 102 housing starts so far this year. He expects the municipality to meet or perhaps exceed its expected target of 130 housing starts in 2011. The final number will most likely not reach 2010â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lofty height of 175 new builds, which was quite high because 46 new condominium units were included in the count. But a late surge in housing starts may yet match the record, Symon said. The value of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s housing starts is just over $30 million, which is good news for the municipal budget, as the $351,295 in building fees assessed to date is already more than what was budgeted for all of 2011. Between 2001 and 2009, annual housing starts fell within the 87 to 104 range, with values ranging from a low of $13.8 million in 2001 to $43.6 million in 2009, which itself was a significant jump after several consecutive years in the $21-22 million

range. But thanks in large part to the Colonnade retail development, the value of construction exploded to $63.7 million in 2010, with the municipality collecting $443,606 in fees. HAVE YOUR SAY IN THE 2011 BUDGET The municipality is looking ahead to 2012 as all departments are currently preparing draft budgets for treasurer Sheila Kehoe. The annual budget process is a delicare balancing act as funds are sought for a wide variety of pressing needs and long-awaited projects. The public is invited to have their say about how their tax dollars should be spent by attending one of several public meetings on the budget. Two afternoon meetings will be held Nov. 16-17, and two evening meetings will be held Nov. 29-30. Times and locations will be announced at a later date. The budget committee welcomes public submissions and will be hearing deputations from community groups including North Grenville Accessible Transportation (NGAT) and the North Grenville Public Library. The budget must be approved by Jan. 9, 2012.

The drive to help others never stops. The Farm Credit Canada Drive Away Hunger tractor was in the area last week Thursday afternoon, Oct. 6, a brand new CASE tractor, courtesy of REIS Equipment, pulling a trailer rumbled into the House of Lazarus parking lot. It had travelled almost 400 km in its annual route to pick up donations of

food and cash for the House of Lazarus. The project began in the Embrun area, went over to Kemptville and then back to Mountain and Winchester. The FCC offices in Kanata and Embrun spearheaded the project. Driven by Marc Beaudry, the relationship manager for Farm Credit Canada in Embrun, the tractor had just stopped at the University of Guelph, Kemptville campus to pick up 613 pounds of donated food. They also arrived with cash donations totaling $229.

Kim Merkley, House of Lazarus foodbank coordinator, on the left accepts a bag of food donations from Tanya Zandbelt of Farm Credit Canada.

“Each dollar,” said Beaudry “is turned into two pounds of food.” Kim Merkley, the food bank coordinator at the House of Lazarus was happy to see the tractor pull into their parking lot. “Throughout the summer, people are so busy and sometimes forget about us,” she said. “This comes at a really good time.” “This is our best year yet,” said Beaudry. The Embrun office is the only FCC office to have an annual food drive of this size. He says there is a rivalry starting up between the Kemptville and Alfred campuses. This year Alfred pulled ahead with a total of 1,648 pounds of donations while Kemptville came in with 613 pounds. On another leg of the journey, the tractor and trailer went over to the University of Guelph Alfred Campus to pick up donations there. Those donations go to the Alfred Food Bank. The FCC tractor tour collects food and cash donations for food banks across the country. All of the donations go to Canadian food banks. All of them local. The tour will come to an end in Embrun on Friday, Oct. 14 and volunteers are celebrating with a chili cook-off at the Embrun FCC office. FCC employees from coast to coast take part in the annual food drive. The national program partners are BDO Canada, New Life Mills and Windset Farms. There are even more supported locally. For example, each year explains Beaudry, organizers ask a different equipment company for help. “This time it was REIS,” he said. “They all do a phenomenal job for us.” Since 2004 the program has collected over 5.2 million pounds of food. Records show that almost 1 million people need to use food banks in Canada each year. Thirty-eight per cent of that number, is children. Food bank use, in small town and rural areas of Canada increased by 13 per cent. In 2010 the tour collected 1.7 million pounds of food for food banks across the country. For more information about how to participate in the FCC Food Drive please call 613-443-2138.

A Tale of Two Restaurants The Marlborough Pub

Salamanders Restaurant

Located in the heart of North Gower is a delightful country restaurant called the Marlborough Pub. It is almost guaranteed that you are pleasantly full with home cooking once you have enjoyed a meal there. They are the Family Restaurant on Ottawa Shop Talk launching later this month.

Salamanders Restaurant in Kemptville is excited about reaching potential customers by joining Kemptville Shop Talk. Enhancing their online digital presence with monthly features, and a page about their unique restaurant, is one major benefit of this product. Adding a one minute video of the business allows anyone to “take a tour” and discover for themselves why Salamanders is such a focal point for dining in North Grenville. For consumers, you can now “get acquainted” with a business from the comfort of your computer or smart phone.

When it comes to Shop Talk, Jason Moore (owner) had one thing to say: “I was surprised with the package so far because they really did their research on my restaurant and North Gower. I am impressed.” We promise an almost turn-key approach in looking after our business partners – you are busy enough. “There were comments on the video that I did not mention to then, yet they were there” Jason continued. The night of the video went well and with a few tweaks it will soon be ready, and what better way to get your message across?

As for why they decided Shop Talk was for them? The flexibility of the whole package, QR codes, and little work on their part to produce and maintain are just a few of the reasons why this marketing solution fits. “A complete marketing package that works with our current and future plans to reach customers” was another comment that Salamanders had to point out. Watch for them on the upcoming Kemptville Shop Talk launching soon.

For Consumers, Shop Talk will provide news and updated information about some of the best local businesses. Looking for the right product or service? Shop Talk may be your best starting point. For more information please contact Drew Headrick or Jennifer Hindorff at 613-258-3451

That’s what people say. The only problem with Blundstone boots is that they never seem to wear out. Oh, people try. But after a few years of kicking the bejeez out of them, they’re more comfortable than ever and still going strong. Expensive? Nope, they get cheaper by the day.

The NEW Sonic & Orlando

WOW!

These are Worth The Drive!

2012 Chevrolet

The 2012 Orlando was designed to strike the right balance between what you need and what you want. It has three rows of theatre- style seating, which means there's plenty of space inside for your entire family and a few friends. Or fold down the 2nd and 3rd row seats to make room for almost anything you might pick up along the way. And because Orlando is built on the same compact platform as the Chevrolet Cruze, it not only moves through traffic like a small car â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it parks like one too. Now that's balance.

Some rules are just easier to break. Case in point: the upcoming 2012 Sonic. For one, just look at it. Small car aesthetic conventions? Obviously broken. Secondly, uncommon refine- ments to steering and suspension give Sonic a responsiveness that sets it apart from its peers. Compact-car ride and handling standards? Shattered. But are there any rules this little car doesn't break? Yes - Sonic obeys the laws of physics. So you can see it right now... but Leather, sunroof, navigation, push it'll be a bit before you get to hear it. Coming button fall 2011. start 96500 kms
