The Kemptville 73’s are doing their best but the puck bounces the wrong way.

The modernization of the Kemptville Fire Department continues as Fire Chief Paul Hutt presented his department’s fleet upgrade plan to Committee of the Whole on Oct. 3. Hutt made the case to replace several aging vehicles and lower the lifespan of the department’s often-used pumpers from 25 years to 20 years, meaning they would need to be replaced more often, but would work better in the field while in service. The department’s most senior pumper, No. 1, will be 30 years old next year, and is long overdue for replacement. But instead of buying a new pumper at a cost of approximately $150,000, Hutt recommended acquiring a versatile, modern vehicle called a quint. A quint is a multi-purpose fire response vehicle that combines the traditional function of a pumper – the truck that responds to structural fires and motor vehicle accidents – with a 75 foot ladder that can be operated remotely, meaning dangerous rooftop fires can be fought without putting firefighters in harm’s way. “It’s basically a glorified pumper” that does the job of several vehicles, Hutt explained. At a cost of $750,000, a quint is significantly more expensive than a pumper, but the advantage such a vehicle provides firefighters, especially when battling quick-spreading blazes typical in lightweight construction homes, is incalculable, Hutt said.

ed aid agreement to increase cooperation and share resources – particularly the ladder service – with nearby municipalities. “This is part of a larger project we have to take on as a result of the report from the Fire Marshal’s Office,” said Hutt, referring to a recent report calling for the department to update many of its practices. To that end, Hutt said the department is also looking to add water collection points for fire service throughout North Grenville, and an all-terrain vehicle firefighters can use to more quickly access forest properties. In response to Coun. Barb Tobin’s concern about “donor fatigue” if the community was asked to fundraise for the new equipment, Hutt said that the department was working on a fundraiser involving the local ATV club next spring that would use registration fees to help offset the $15-20,000 expense of an ATV and trailer. The department also needs to Patrick McGahey replace Truck 5, a decommisBroker of Record sioned ambulance used for fire prevention and public education events that Hutt called “unrepairable.” To raise money to replace the truck, the department will sell a “redundant” 1993 Chevrolet van formerly used to store equipment that firefighters now keep in their own vehicles. Hutt told council the new vehicles combined with the current fleet will enable the department to respond to any scenario. If the municipality’s continued growth means another pumper is Real Estate Ltd. Brokerage one day needed to cover the territory, development charges could help offset the cost, mused CAO Andy Brown. Council approved all of KFD’s recommendations at the Oct. 11 meeting.

Because of changes to insurance requirements, the municipality also needs to purchase a new tanker – a vehicle that stores over 2,000 gallons of water – to increase flow rate and maintain the superior shuttle certification that helps lower the municipality’s fire insurance costs. Council considered various options for determining the life cycle of the fire department’s vehicles, settling on 20 years for heavily use vehicles such as pumpers and tankers, and 25 years for specialty equipment, which includes the quint. The change only applies to new equipment and will be implemented gradually so the municipality isn’t hit with a significant bill right away. Current vehicles on a 25-year cycle that are already older than 20 years will be grandfathered out as opposed to replaced right away, a solution Mayor David Gordon said would be “more palatable” for taxpayers. Under the phased replacement plan, the municipality will have to set aside $150,000 per year for the next five years, and then commit $175,000 annually until 2036 to cover immediate or future fire vehicle expenses. Coun. Tim Sutton called the vehicle replacement plan “good fiscal management” and recommended a similar initiative for all municipal departments.

after the April meeting to discuss his idea. The planner was “exceptionally receptive. He loved the plan,” Hoffman remembered. Symon included Hoffman’s proposal as a fourth option in a survey mailed to all Settlers’ Grant residents. Of the 44 surveys returned out of 221 sent, 55 per cent of respondents supported Hoffman’s idea, while 35 per cent wanted to cut the land in half and sell the top lot, and 5 per cent advising selling both lots. One respondent asked for the status quo. Symon agreed that Hoffman’s idea was exactly what the area needed, since a wooded park with a trail is much easier and cheaper to maintain than a grassy area with a play structure, which residents with young families had initially been clamoring for. But after 15 years, most of the children in the area have grown up, and a trail with rest areas and fitness stations akin to those in South Gower Park will meet the needs of all residents and become part of the municipality’s official trail system, Symon said. Riverside Park is also nearby for young families to use, he noted. More than 30 residents attended a special Committee of the Whole meeting at the Municipal Centre on Sept. 28 to discuss the survey results. While some people noted with regret that the hoped for play park never materialized, there was near unanimous support for Hoffman’s proposal. In response to the desire for hikers and cyclists to access the main trail system, Symon said he planned to soon open up a currently unopened road allowance south of Settlers Grant and eQuinelle to connect the area to the trail system along County Road 44. The municipality will use $25,000 or 20 per cent of the proceeds from the sale of the northern lot, whatever is greater, to clear brush from the park – which has been untouched since the ice storm – install the fitness stations and lay down stone dust on the trail. The community has the option to fundraiser for a gazebo and picnic area if residents so choose. Council passed the resolution creating the park at its Oct. 11 meeting. “By voting for this, we’ve saved tons of trees today,” a delighted Chevrolet Hoffman said after the public meeting. He was “very pleased” that Symon was receptive to a resident’s plan. “It feels terrific to be heard and listened to, and that the residents thought it was a good idea,” he said. “It’s wonderful when good ideas come from the neighbourhood itself,” Symon said.

OPINION

Kemptville Advance - October 20 2011

A toast to rural Ontario

ith the provincial election receding in the review mirror not unlike the fading workers of a construction site, it is time for the rest of us to pay attention to the road ahead. It is not as if we ever stopped doing whatever we do to make our world work the way it should. The direction Leeds and Grenville and its neighbour North Dundas have been going cannot be deflected or changed by a mere election. Surrounded by global economic shenanigans, Wall Street excesses and increasing taxes on all fronts, rural residents must wonder what planet they are on. A drive on the freshly paved roads from South Mountain to Winchester and sections of County Road 43 going to Kemptville from Winchester give the impression that all is well in rural Ontario. It either is or it isn’t. Many feel this part of rural Ontario has suffered less than many other parts of the country. Area municipalities are so healthy, relative to other parts of Eastern Ontario, that during the election we all had the luxury to ask for some kind of renewed anti-poverty movement. From a cynical

perspective, when you are able to be concerned about those with less than yourself you must be a doing alright. Energy was a hot topic this election. The agricultural sector brought up the future of energy on the farm several times. Energy solutions, like so many others we have seen over the past 100 years in Ontario, will likely spring out of rural experiments. From pasteurized milk to white lines on our roads, local rural leaders created a healthy environment for change. The traditionally Conservative-led Leeds and Grenville has done well with new schools, infrastructure money and a refurbished hospital in North Grenville. Kemptville has been showered with economic growth that mystifies the experts. In North Dundas, a Liberal bastion for the past 25 years, all you have to do is take a look at the success of the Winchester District Memorial Hospital and count the $45 million dollars dropped off by the Champlain LHIN to realize how fortunate we all are. If leadership has anything to do with rural progress, we have had a long line of innovative and steady hands doing the steering at all levels of government.

Not quite three cheers for the CBC

n a couple of weeks, the CBC will be full of celebrations of itself, and we should celebrate too. Seventy-five years ago the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation was formed and it has enriched our lives immeasurably. It has done this mainly by providing intelligent content not available elsewhere. While private radio and television stations chased ratings by pandering to the lowest common denominator, the CBC has provided a steady diet of news, current affairs, arts coverage and smart talk. For the longest time, the CBC has been one the things Canadians talked about when distinguishing ourselves from citizens of other countries. It was right up their medicare and hockey. While some have criticized CBC as élitist, many of its greatest triumphs have been far from that — think of Wojeck, Wayne and Shuster, Country Hoedown, The Friendly Giant, The Beachcombers, The Royal Canadian Air Farce. It’s quite a history. So how come so few of us feel like celebrating? The main reason is a feeling that CBC is no longer interested in doing the things that made it great. There is basically no arts programming on television. The CBC used to pride itself on supporting Canadian artists — dis-

covering them, paying them, giving them a chance to perform and bringing them to an audience. There is considerably less drama on television, a strength in the past. Original drama has been replaced by a series of reality TV shows. On radio, specialized music programming — classical and jazz programs that delighted their audiences — has mostly given way to a bland potpourri, designed to offend no one and thrill no one either. This comes from trying to attract a wide audience and CBC people will say that’s necessary because government funding is inadequate and more advertising revenue is needed. For the advertising revenue to come there need to be large audiences. The large audiences, the CBC has decided, will not show up to watch and listen to the things CBC has always done best. Is the new approach working? As far as anyone knows, there has been no

surge in CBC ratings, with one somewhat ironic exception: the CBC radio morning and afternoon drive shows, which do things the way the CBC always did them, with extended interviews, reviews and panels. In Ottawa, CBC information shows do deservedly well. In other areas, particularly TV, programmers are scuffling, too quick to make some decisions — redesigning the national news — too indecisive to make some others — which explains the survival of the embarrassing Don Cherry. News, long a CBC strength, has become glib, overpackaged, superficial and inadequate. On Manitoba election night, viewers in other provinces searched CBC in vain for detailed results and found them, in full detail, on the muchmaligned Sun News Network. CBC put its results online, as if that were enough for a network with national responsibilities. On Ontario election night, CBC was quick to cover what was on Twitter, causing at least one CBC loyalist to check out TV Ontario, finding resultsbased, no-nonsense coverage with experienced commentators and never going back to CBC. These are all small examples, but they show something. So does the local CBC’s recent decision to drop theatre reviews from its morning information show. “People listen to radio now in

very short chunks,” explained a CBC producer. “They’re expecting shorter items and they’re expecting things that set up their day.” What’s a review last — three minutes? When programmers make decisions like that, they are saying implicitly that their audience is not very smart. They might phrase it differently; they might say that their listeners lead busy lives and don’t have time for detailed commentaries or reviews. But it amounts to the same thing. Here’s breaking news: We are never too busy for something interesting, even if it lasts as long as five minutes. Also, we are smarter than CBC programmers think. After 75 years, they should know that.

Garbage finds its way to former landfill site JOSEPH MORIN joe.morin@metroland.com

Old habits take a long time to form and a long time to forget. In 2008 the South Mountain landfill site on Cameron Road was closed. Residents in the area, used to going to the site, were asked to drive a few minutes further east to Winchester. There they could use the Boyne Road landfill site. Still almost 3 years later, some people are still coming to the closed landfill site in South Mountain and dumping their garbage just outside the closed gate on Cameron Road. Resident Linda St. Onge lives along that road and is tired of seeing the rural landscape littered with garbage. “When we moved here it was still open,” Onge remembers, looking out at the garbage around the entrance to the former landfill site. She feels it is simply laziness that keeps peo-

ple dropping their garbage off. “I love my property,” she said, but she is fed up with people who keep dumping their garbage at the entrance to the closed landfill site. “Sometimes I see construction trucks dumping material off,” she said. Doug Froats is the director of waste management for North Dundas. He has been out to the South Mountain site a few times since it closed. “There is no electricity so we cannot monitor it,” he said. “We rely on good neighbours to inform us about the garbage.” He explained that there is a large, 4 ft by 6 ft sign that tells people the landfill site is closed. The people who may be guilty of illegal dumping may not be from the area. “A portion of those doing illegal dumping are not from North Dundas,” said Froats. According to Froats, the OPP have in the past laid charges

against litterers. He said he has several people who drive through the area on a regular basis alert him to any instances of garbage being left at the site. “I have contacted the municipality on previous occasions,” said Onge. They have always sent someone out to come and clean up the area. “This should not have to be done, if people would stop being so ignorant of the sign that is there and go to the other dump,” she said.

Public input sought on North Grenville budget J.P. ANTONACCI jp.antonacci@metroland.com

Money talks, and you can too, as North Grenville council and staff seek public input into the 2012 municipal budget. It cost $25.7 million to run North Grenville in 2011, a figure that includes everything from paving roads and building the new library to planning for ongoing development and paying the municipality’s 52 full-time employees and scores of seasonal and part-time workers. Each fall, heads of the various municipal departments – chief among them public works and parks and recreation – work with municipal councillors to submit a “wish list” of projects they would like to see completed over the following year. It is treasurer Sheila Kehoe’s job to combine these lists with ongoing projects and predictable expenses such as salaries, and prepare a draft budget for council to consider. The municipality’s biggest fixed costs are salaries and benefits, along with utilities for public buildings such as the Municipal Centre. The basic operating cost to pay staff, keep the lights and heat on, and buy supplies – everything from calcium for roadways to staples for the office – is $12.7 million, with capital projects

and other expenses added on top. As for what projects need attention, “It’s always going to be the infrastructure demands,” Kehoe said. Each budget usually includes previously approved projects that were held over to the next year – such as a $2.5 million well and sewage project in the east quadrant, and work on the Hurd Street bridge – along with recurring contenders for funding, which this year include lights for the second baseball diamond in South Gower Park, and a cleanup of the municipal digester. “There are so many needs, but there’s never enough cash to go around,” Kehoe said. By law, municipalities in Ontario must table a balanced budget. Councillors debate the merits of each project and come to a consensus. The municipality will soon need a new snow dump outside of Kemptville, for example. “That’s on the horizon – but is it a 2012 project, or bump it to 2013? That’s a decision council has to make,” said Kehoe. But those decisions are “flexible,” she explained. The budget is only “a snapshot in time” which can change as new technologies and funding opportunities present themselves. The ongoing skatepark expansion – which was originally going to happen in stages over several years,

but instead will be completed this fall – is an example of how an unforeseen opportunity – in this case, the chance to appear on television and marshal support from local contractors – can lead to a change in the budget. Fluctuations in development fees and federal and provincial government initiatives, such as the stimulus funding that made the new library possible, can also change the equation after the budget is passed, as can shifts in funding from the tax gas and other revenue sources. During the budget process, council and staff hear from citizens and community groups at a series of public meetings. These meetings are opportunities for residents to make their views known and ensure that the final budget reflects their needs, Kehoe said. “We are a level of government that’s right next to the people,” she said. Budget meetings are currently scheduled for Nov. 16 and 17 from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m., and Nov. 29 and 30 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Municipal Centre. Committee of the Whole will have its final budget discussion on Dec. 5 at 6:30 p.m., with the official 2012 budget scheduled to go before council on Jan. 9.

Annual Harvest Fest returns to college STAFF It’s October, time once again for another Harvest Fest evening sponsored by the Kemptville College Foundation in aid of program and student support at Kemptville Campus of the University of Guelph. The dinner with entertainment and live and silent auctions is set for Oct. 22, beginning at 6 p.m., at the W.B. George Centre on campus. The foundation is always building upon previous years’ auctions, which have boasted an impressive array of items, from Ottawa Senators’ tickets, to gift certificates for massage therapy, to artwork and home décor. Harvest Fest routinely raises about $10,000 to be invested in worthy students and projects at Kemptville

Campus. It’s KCF’s largest fundraiser and has been instrumental in helping the foundation raise more than $600,000 in cash and equipment. “It’s one of the best fall gatherings of staff, students, alumni, supporters and friends of the campus,” said foundation president Dave Morrow urging residents to becoming foundation members and to participate in its donation program which includes five recognition levels. The levels are Bronze (gifts under $100), Silver (gifts to $499) Gold (gifts to $999), Platinum (gifts to $4,999), and Diamond (gifts of $5,000 or more). Lifetime membership in the foundation is available for just $10. Tickets are $40 each or $375 for a table of 10, contact Ian Carley, 613-889-4117, for information on tickets or to donate an auction item.

J.P. ANTONACCI jp.antonacci@metroland.com

In May, 2011 a group of volunteer ‘secret shoppers’ from Arnprior visited Old Town Kemptville as part of the First Impressions Community Exchange program, sponsored by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA). Their mission was to shop, dine and observe life in Old Town, and report back to the municipality. The group identified many positive features of Old Town and several areas that could be improved to better attract tourists and encourage residents to shop locally. A volunteer group from Kemptville paid similar visitors to evaluate Arnprior’s downtown core. North Grenville’s economic development committee met on Sept. 23 and again on Oct. 21 to discuss and prioritize the short and long-term recommendations in the FICE report in advance of budget talks this fall. Council will consider their conclusions for the 2012 budget. In the meantime, the committee has already taken action on several “quick win projects” recommended in the report, said North Grenville’s economic development coordinator, Teri Devine. The municipality and the Old Town BIA set up four new pedestrian benches along Prescott Street, and a new recycling receptacle at the library. The BIA-sponsored Kemptville Pirate Days street festival in September was the first of what Devine hopes will be several tourism programs supported by Old Town businesses. In response to visitor comments that it was difficult to find tourist information if the Chamber of Commerce office was closed, the municipality unveiled a tourism kiosk at the entrance to Veteran’s Way, just north of the Municipal Centre, with information about North Gren-

Better access to the waterfront, more pedestrian spaces and cleaner storefronts are components of the First Impressions Community Exchange report. The municipality is taking action on several “quick win” projects while looking long term at how to draw more tourists to Old Town Kemptville. ville, the Rideau Heritage Route, and the trail system. If approved by council, Devine says residents could see additional info points at the Colonnade shopping area and the entrance to Old Town next year. Removing outdated signage from vacant buildings and sprucing up Old Town storefronts was one of the report’s central recommendations, and Devine says her department is working with local service clubs to develop an “Adopt a Storefront” program to “clean up, rejuvenate and utilize vacant storefronts” for community events, arts and culture displays, and tourism information. This program is pending council’s approval. The Arnprior group marveled at the variety and qual-

ity of dining options in Old Town, with one visitor saying he would come back just for the food. The report urged the municipality to promote local food options and take advantage of the abundance of nearby farms and food producers. Devine says North Grenville is considering a local food strategy for 2012 that would connect restaurants with farmers and distributors to boost the local market and attract tourists and residents to a “100 mile dinner” event in Old Town.

Kemptville Rotary Group Exchange program exciting for team members JOSEPH MORIN joe.morin@metroland.com

The distance from Brazil to Kemptville is thousands of miles but the connection between Rotary club members in the two parts of the world is measured in good will. The Rotary Group Study Exchange team from District 4520 in southeast Brazil, is currently visiting Canada. The group, made up of five visitors, stopped off in Kemptville for three days in early October. More than 50 people applied for this portion of the trip. This was a special visit to Rotary District 7040 that runs from upper New York State to Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec. The team consisted of a Rotarian leader (Patricia Gonçalves-Attorney), and four young professionals (Cibele Borgesoccupational therapist, Karine Diniz-civil engineer, Ramon Guelber-mechanical engineer and Cláudio Sátyro-automation analyst). In May 2011 a team from District 7040 of which Kemptville is a part, participated in a visit to Brazil. “The challenge was setting it up because we are such a large district,” said Anna Rochon, the District GSE Chair. “The group found it a very worthwhile experience,” added Rochon. The group found a home for their stay in Kemptville with Rotarians. They had the opportunity for a close-up look at what their Canadian contemporaries were doing. The University of Guelph Kemptville College Campus staff volunteered to take the group around the campus. The visit included a look at the college’s new robotic milking barn and the equine program. The tour also included the Afro-Forestry centre. Later, Paul Jansen of Warren and Jansen, Carrie Smith of Kemptville Physiotherapy Centre and Dennis Evans of the Municipality of North Grenville were kind enough to share time later in the day with individual group members who shared corresponding professions. The group had a look at the municipality’s water treatment plant. One of the members of the group from Brazil, is actually responsible for operating a water treatment plant in their hometown, so the look at how Kemptville managed its water resources was interesting. The group is currently staying over in Watertown. They will visit Montreal and then Cornwall before heading back to Brazil. In early May, the Kemptville Rotary Club arranged for five people to travel down to Brazil as part of the Rotary Group Study exchange. One of the participants was Kemptville resident Jennifer Bradshaw. She is an electronic engineering technician with Bell Canada. “The trip was extraordinary,” said Bradshaw. While in Brazil, she was invited to take a tour of one of the central offices of the areas telecommunications networks. “Some of the ways they have developed their products and installed them was interesting,” she said. The Canadian team had great weather

Cláudio Sátyro and Jennifer Bradshaw for their trip. May is the beginning of Brazil’s autumn season. Brazil has the world’s third fastest growing economy so there was a great deal of infrastructure to look at. She said the group learned from all of the visits they made at schools and factories and that the U.S. and Canada could learn a lot from Brazil’s environmental perspective. They went to a pulp and paper factory that uses eucalyptus trees to make their paper products. The industry harvests the trees from tree farms and replaces what they take with new trees. The idea came from a partnership the country had with Japan several years ago. “They have figured out how to clone the trees so that they have no knots and grow perfectly straight.” The Rotary exchange program has quietly given members from around the world a look at how their global contemporaries are doing. “I would recommend the experience to anyone,” said Bradshaw. The Rotary Foundation’s Group Study Exchange (GSE) program is a unique cultural and vocational exchange opportunity for businesspeople and professionals between the ages of 25 and 40 who are in the early stages of their careers. The program provides travel grants for teams to exchange visits in paired areas of different countries. For four to six weeks, team members experience the host country’s culture and institutions, observe how their vocations are practiced abroad, develop personal and professional relationships, and exchange ideas.

Eating healthy food and preparing a meal that is not only healthy, but fun to create and share is the focus of the North Dundas Community kitchen. The idea of holding a Community Kitchen came about as a result of a simmer survey conducted by the All Things Food SDG Community Food Network. The survey indicated that there was an interest in starting up the Community Kitchen idea. “We had a great response from the survey,” said All Things Food coordinator Dana Kittle. The support for the community kitchen was strong enough for Kittle to consider adding a second kitchen if the numbers warranted it. Ideally, the working number for one kitchen group would be eight to ten people. The idea behind the kitchen is to give community members the opportunity to get together, share the cost, planning and preparation of healthy meals. The Community Kitchen concept has more than enough positive aspects to make everyone want to join in. There is the camaraderie to be found whenever a group of people are working together es-

pecially cooking food. “It is fun to get together and cook together,” said Kittle adding that the cooking sessions will be perfect for planning senior’s meals for example. Another aspect of the Community Kitchen will be the skill and knowledge sharing that will take place between members of the kitchen. “They will be learning new skills and new recipes,” explained Kittle. The healthy meal project is a partnership between All Things Food. Linking Hands Dundas and the Township of North Dundas. The township will be helping out by providing some cooking equipment. Everyone in the community is invited to take part. There will be a planning meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 9 at the Winchester Community Centre from 7 to 8:30 p.m. The meeting will include an explanation of how a community kitchen operates, as well as recipe selection and a decision on the date for the first session. As a rule, during one kitchen session, three to four healthy meals are prepared by the group of cooks. To pre-register for the meeting please call 613-875-3262 or email info@allthingsfoodbouffee

ATV group looking to use shoulders, road allowances EMMA JACKSON emma.jackson@metroland.com

City staff are reviewing a request from a group of all-terrain vehicle enthusiasts to add select road allowances and shoulders to their trail network throughout Ottawa South. Kris Gough, who is affiliated with the National Valley ATV Club, spoke at the city’s Agricultural and Rural Affairs Committee meeting on Sept. 29 to outline a plan that would allow ATV users in the city of Ottawa to use some road shoulders as well as unopened road allowances (land set aside for future roads) in the Osgoode, Greely and Manotick areas to connect one ATV trail to another. Gough presented the proposal during the open mic portion of the ARAC meeting, which meant the committee’s members could not take action on his request. They did, however, ask city staff to review the proposal. ARAC chairman and Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson said he met with the group several times before Gough presented at ARAC, and said it’s important to consider their request as ATV use increases in the area. “ATV ownership is growing quite rapidly, so I

think it’s important to take a look at it,” he said, although he hesitated to give his full support without a staff recommendation. He said each road allowance and shoulder in question would have to be considered individually in terms of traffic load and impact on nearby residential areas. He added that other municipalities in the Ottawa Valley allow ATVs to use road shoulders, and city staff will have to research the issues that rose from such policies before making a recommendation. ATV use has been controversial in the Ottawa South area, particularly in regards to the multiuse pathway that was installed along an old rail bed starting in Osgoode. Local ATV groups actively lobbied to use the pathway, but the city decided to only allow access for snowmobiles on the grounds that the path would have too many pedestrians in the summer months to share with all-season vehicles. Gough declined to comment on the details of the proposal, explaining that the idea is still in its early stages. Thompson estimated staff would likely have a recommendation prepared in time for the spring.

Alex Munter named head of CHEO KRISTY WALLACE

Alex Munter, a former city councillor and current head of the Champlain Local Health Integration Network, will replace Michel Bilodeau as the head of the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario. Munter will take over as chief executive officer on Nov. 7, replacing Bilodeau, who is retiring. Bilodeau announced his retirement plans in April, and will remain in an advisory role until the end of November. When Munter was reached on Oct. 12, the day of the announcement, he said

he was excited to hear of the appointment. “CHEO has earned a very unique and special place in the hearts of people in our region,” he said. “And for me personally, it’s just a tremendous honour.” He will leave his role as CEO of the Champlain LHIN, a position he said he “wasn’t looking to leave.” He will leave his role as CEO of the Champlain LHIN, a position he said he “wasn’t looking to leave.” “The LHIN is in very good hands,” Munter said, adding that Dr. Wilbert Keon, chairman of the LHIN’s board of directors, has demonstrated strong leadership along with the staff team.

Kemptville Advance - October 20 2011

ITR, Kemptville Players share theatrical weekend Nov. 3 to 6 ANDREA JERMACANS Isle in the River Review (ITR) hits the stage this fall with a comedy by one of Canada’s favourite playwrights, Norm Foster. My Darling Judith tells the story of a husband (Davis Jermacans) who has grown tired of his eccentric wife (Judy Beltzner). He contrives to unload her on one of his employees (Bill Steele) so he can start a new life with his sexy young mistress (Andrea McClearly). As marriages crumble, affairs flounder, and new friendships form, the relationships between the four characters are bound to ring familiar to the audience. “The humour in Judith is good for all ages and people of any marital status,” says director John Orton. “No matter where you are in life, you’ll get it. The audience gets both the man’s point of view and the woman’s and it’s a laugh a minute. It’s not vulgar at all, but there’s a bedroom conversation for instance that everyone would identify with and maybe learn from.” Orton has directed and acted in several plays for ITR and Dundas County Players, as well as spearheaded DCP’s youth theatre for four years. His experience has taught him that Norm Foster is always a winner with the public. “What I like about Foster is his wit and humour,” says Orton. “He makes people think but also laugh. It’s not slapstick, it’s true to life humour that everybody can identify with.” Theatre goers can look forward to a couple of changes to this fall’s play. My Darling Judith will run over only one weekend instead of the usual two. “The Sunday performance is going to be a family-oriented matinee,” explains Orton. “There won’t be any alcohol available but we will provide complimentary sandwiches and tea. The afternoon shows tend to draw out our senior citizens and we’re hoping to appeal to them by offering the dainties as a special treat for their patronage.” The always-popular dinner theatre will take place on Saturday, Nov. 5, and as usual, all evening shows will offer a cash bar. “ITR is one of the only theatres where you can actually sit and enjoy and alcoholic beverage, sitting at a table. Grab a beer or a bottle of wine, and enjoy the performance,” says Orton. As with every performance, ITR will be collecting donations for the Break a Leg Bursary. ITR offers a $250 bursary to graduating students from St. Mark’s High School and Osgoode Township High School who are going on to study theatrical arts at a Canadian post-secondary institution. The bursaries are awarded in the spring to one qualified applicant per school. Students may apply online. My Darling Judith runs Nov. 3 and 4 at 7:30 p.m. and Nov. 6 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $15 for adults or $13 for students or seniors. Dinner Theatre is Saturday, Nov. 5. Bar opens at 6 p.m., dinner at 6:30. Tickets for the dinner theatre are $45 in advance only. To reserve tickets, call 613-860-1291 or visit itrtheatrecompany.com. Kemptville Players Inc. (KPI) is bringing

one of theatre’s most famous murder mysteries to the stage this fall. Agatha Christie’s well-known favourite, The Mousetrap, will take place at Leslie Hall from Nov. 3 to 6. “I think it is one of the best plays ever written,” says director Monica Cleland. “Even if you know the story, it has so many different layers I think it’s a play that you can see again and again and still get something out of it. You can take it as a social commentary of the times or even read it as a mystery novel.” The Mousetrap takes place in rundown Monkswell Manor circa 1953, during a freak snowstorm that threatens to isolate the building from its lovely English backdrop. One of the characters traipsing though the manor has murder on the brain, but the murderer’s sibling is there to stop things before they get out of control. As children, these two characters and a third sibling were taken from their parents and placed in foster care with people who looked good on the outside but were ultimately responsible for the death of one of the children, while the magistrate, Mrs. Boyle (played by Elizabeth McGregor), turned a blind eye. “The poor circumstances ruined all three of those children’s lives. One of those kids went completely crazy and now has the attitude that ‘if grownups can get away with murder, then so can I.’ Fast forward to 1953 and they’re adults now. One sibling is trying to track down the other before he or she does anything horrible. I can’t say any more because nobody knows who these characters are once they’ve grown up,” says Cleland. Cleland says that while the premise can seem a bit gruesome and is based on a true story, there are plenty of jocular moments throughout the show. “Christie has a wonderful character, Christopher Wren (J.P. Antonacci), who seems to be the comic relief of the play. He’s silly and childish, you laugh with him. Molly (Amy Quinn) just gets caught up in his light heartedness. She’s mesmerized by Wren, much to Giles’ (Seamus O’Brien) upper middle class disdain,” she says. True to Agatha’s style, not everyone is who they first seem to be, and the manor quickly fills with an oddball cast. There is a stranger who comes knocking without a reservation – Mr. Paravicini (Phil Irving), the mysterious traveler from an unspecified land, Miss Casewell (Janet Patenaude), and the quintessential English military man, Major Metcalfe (Steve Wendt). Add Detective Trotter (Dave Lang) and the cast is complete. “It is a big cast of quirky characters,” explains Cleland with a smile. “It’s just wonderful to watch.” KPI was originally slated to perform The Mousetrap in November 2010 but due to casting conflicts the show was cancelled last minute. Three of the original nine cast members are back, and Cleland herself is returning as director this season, with directing experience within the theatre company. “We’re hoping to have as great a turn out as we did for Jenny’s House of Joy this spring, which nearly sold out every night,” Cleland says.

“I think there’s enough twists and turns to this play that unless you’re a real Agatha Christie fan, it’s not easy to figure out (the ending),” she added. “And if you’ve already seen it, then you’re part of the secret, along with the cast. Don’t give it away!” The Mousetrap runs Nov 3 to 6 at Leslie Hall, 19 Clothier St. W. Thursday and Friday performances at 7:30 p.m., Sun-

day matinee at 2 p.m. Tickets are $15 for adults or $12 for seniors and students (up to Grade 12), available at Business Strategies (aka Home and Beyond) or by calling 258-9657. Dinner theatre will be held Saturday Nov. 5, tickets $40 in advance only. For more info visit kemptvilleplayers.ca or email info@kemptvilleplayers.ca.

FIRE SAFETY IN ACTION Kemptville Canadian Tire owner Frank Hoffman uses a fire extinguisher to douse a controlled fire at the Kemptville fire hall during Fire Prevention Week. Hoffman was recognized by the Kemptville Fire Department for his continuous support of fire prevention efforts, including donating smoke alarms from Canadian Tire to local seniors and providing complimentary advertising space in local media to promote Fire Prevention Week, which this year was Oct. 9-15. KFD held two open houses on Oct. 11 for the general public, with one geared toward seniors, to raise awareness of how to test smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, use fire extinguishers, make a home escape plan and limit the chance of fire in the kitchen. For more information on fire safety, contact KFD Fire Prevention Officer Elizabeth Greenberg at 258-2438, or drop by the fire hall on County Road 44. J.P. Antonacci Photo/Advance Staff

STAFF The Spencerville Area Ladies Awareness Day is slated for Oct. 29 at the Lions Club Hall on the Spencerville fairgrounds from 9:30 am to 3:30 pm. This annual fundraiser for the Friends of the Spencerville Library promises to be fun filled and educational with presentations related to women’s wellness, success in personal fields of endeavour and clean water for the world. Andrea Robertson , of Prescott’s Shakespeare Festival is the winner of the Prix Rideau Award for outstanding set and costume design for MacBeth in 2010. Dr. Heather Jones has a Doctorate of Chiropractic degree and has practiced for three years at the Kemptville Chiropractic Clinic and Prescott Family Chiropractic Center. The Ryan’s Well Story will be presented by Jane Baird: Executive Director of the Ryan’s Well Foundation and Susan Hreljac, Ryan’s mother. The dream of her six-year-old boy who wanted

to give clean water to developing countries grew into a ten-year old organization helping more than 700,000 people around the world live healthier lives. The OK Clean Water Project takes it’s name from the link between Ottawa and Kumbo, Cameroon, Africa. Kathy Monkman and Carmel Horan are volunteers with this project, which raises funds to support water delivery systems in and around Kumbo, Africa. The villagers volunteer their labour and receive training to manage and maintain the water supply. SALAD will wrap up with Pat Moore who wrote “Clean Water for Lukong” a delightful children’s book illustrated by her sister Mary Moore of Spencerville. Tickets are $50.00 ($40.00 for Friends of the Library members) include a gourmet lunch by Natalie Castellas of Catered Affairs. Please register early as space is limited by calling Annalee at 613-658-2300 or Roshan at 613-658-5721.

STAFF Last week, Stormont Dundas & Glengarry OPP received two reports of suspected scams involving retailers. The scam begins when a female enters a local store and speaks with the employee at the cash register. After a short time, three to four more people come into the store and start asking the employee questions about merchandise for sale. When the employee is distracted, a member of the group goes behind the counter or into a storage area looking for cash or valuables. SD&G OPP advises merchants

The

to be aware of this possible scam and to not to be distracted. If more than one person starts to ask questions or otherwise strikes up a conversation, ask them to speak one at a time and be firm as to where they are allowed to go in the store. If any merchant experiences this type of incident, please take note of the description of the criminals and what type of vehicle they are using, and call your local police detachment.

Kemptville Advance - October 20 2011

73’s losing streak continues BRIAN WILSON Special to the Advance

In the last two weeks, the Kemptville 73’s have played six games. The first game saw Kemptville take on the undefeated Cornwall Colts on Oct. 6 at the Lumley Arena. After an evenly played first period, Cornwall took a 1-0 lead into the second intermission, outshooting Kemptville by a margin of 18-5. In the third, Josh Pitt notched a goal to even the score. But just over a minute and a half later, the Colts regained the lead and then added a third to make it 3-1. With less than three minutes left, Pitt scored his second of the night to make it a game. In the last minute, Cornwall took two penalties and the 73’s pulled their goalie in favour of the extra attacker, but the Colts managed to score twice into the empty net to cement the victory. Setting up the goals for Kemptville were Cedric Lacroix with two and Jesse Lussier. Kemptville outshot the Colts 21-9 in the third period. Both goalies were named game stars, with the 73’s Travis Wilkins third star. With no time off, the 73’s travelled to Smiths Falls to take

on the Bears the next night. In a lacklustre affair, the Bears scored once in the first and then added five more in the second to take a 6-0 lead. With the game in the bag, Smiths Falls played to hold the lead. There were no penalties in the third and the Bears only managed seven shots. The 73’s managed to get two goals back, with Eric Malloy getting his second of the year and Dylan Burdick his first. Assisting were Malloy, Jesse Ferras, Ben Hutton and Mason Nowak. On Oct. 9, the 73’s held their “Pink the Rink” game in support of the Kemptville District Hospital mammography unit. The 73’s were sporting special pink sweaters for the game against the Hawkesbury Hawks. Blaine Byron scored his second of the year from Ferras and Lussier to bring the opening period to an end with the score tied at one. The Hawks scored the only goal of the next frame to hold a 2-1 lead, but Hutton notched his third of the season to deadlock the game at two. The overtime period solved nothing and the game was to be finished by a shootout. The Hawks prevailed and took home a 3-2 victory. Jesse Ferras was

named the second star. The game also featured a silent auction and a car show from the Highway 43 Car Club. Game day sponsor R.M.Aluminum donated a $100 for each goal scored by the 73’s. The team presented a cheque to KDH for $1600. On Oct. 12, Kemptville visited the Nepean Sportsplex to tackle the Raiders, who might have been emotionally drained after handing Cornwall their first loss of the season. The teams exchanged first period goals with Pitt getting his tenth of the season from Cody Hendsbee and Malloy. In the second, Lussier scored his first of the year from Byron and Hutton. Just over halfway through the third, the Raiders scored twice in two minutes to take a 3-2 lead and the win at home. Wilkins faced 41 shots and was named second star for his stellar performance. Oct. 14 saw the return match as the Raiders came to North Grenville. Nepean took a 1-0 lead in the first period. The teams exchanged goals in the second with Billy Ulrick scoring his second from Malloy and Hendsbee. Halfway through the third period, Hendsbee scored his first of the year to tie the game at two. Ulrick and Malloy got the assists.

The 73’s held their “Pink the Rink” game against the Hawkesbury Hawks on Oct. 9 in support of the KDH mammography unit. Melissa Graham of the KDH Foundation (left) and Kendall Brenton of the 73’s drop special pink pucks for the ceremonial faceoff. They are flanked by Ben Hutton of the 73’s (left) and Sebastien Meltzer of the Hawks. Kemptville took the lead when Malloy scored a short handed goal on a beautiful pass from Ferras. Then, just like the previous game, the wheels fell off. With 90 seconds left, the Raiders scored three times in 45 second s to earn themselves a 5-3 victory. Malloy was named third star. The last game of the week had the 73’s travel to Hawkesbury. The Hawks scored once in the first and the 73’s tied the game in the second on John McLean’s

first goal of the season, with assists from Hutton and Byron. With just over a minute left in the third, Hawkesbury scored to take a 2-1 lead. That’s the way the game would end, bringing Kemptville’s record to nine straight losses. Goalie Wilkins faced 49 shots and was named third star. The 73’s next home game is Oct. 21 at 7:30 p.m. against the Cumberland Grads. Kemptville then travels to Pembroke on Oct. 23 to face the Lumber Kings.

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.
