A new planned subdivision run-ning alongside the Kemptville Creek is one step closer to be-coming a reality, but neighbours still have questions about the vacant piece of land sitting across from Holy Cross School.
A few familiar fac-es were seen at a re-cent North Grenville council meeting that discussed the draft conditions set by the developer, Novatech Engineering Consul-tants Ltd.
These conditions were the result of some of these same neighbours who voiced their opinions at the public meeting in August concerning the land.
Considering the concerns people had at the August meet-ing, director of plan-ning and develop-ment Forbes Symon highlighted some of the draft conditions for the subdivision which will feature 40 duplexes and town-houses.
One of the issues property owners ad-dressed was fencing.
“With this situa-tion, the developer would approach prop-erty owners of where the fence would go and what kind of fence it would be,” said Symon.
He also acknowl-edged the concerns residents expressed with drainage and grading, and said the owner will submit a plan of drainage and grading to the munic-ipality and county.
He added that a
traffi c impact state-ment would be done on Clothier Street West, in addition to a requirement that there be parkland in the subdivision.
Resident Cynthia Langlois came to mi-crophone during a period for questions from the public and had three main con-cerns. The fi rst con-cern she brought to the table was the pol-icy for fencing.
“In the initial plan of subdivision, I be-lieve Mr. Symon said that fencing would be on either side of the western and eastern portions and it would be four-foot fencing,” said Langlois. “And this evening, I under-stand fencing would have to be negotiated with the developer?”
Symon said the de-veloper will be con-sulting with neigh-bours to determine what kind of fencing they would like to see.
“It’s a condition we oversee as a dis-cussion between the neighbours and de-velopers to make sure they get the type of screening or fencing they wish to have,” said Symon.
Langlois asked if that means that the municipality is ac-countable to make sure that discussion happens.
Symon said the condition for fencing states that the fencing or screening on east and west boundaries of the subdivision must live up to the municipality’s satis-faction.
“To achieve that, the developer has to sit down and ask the neighbour what kind
of fence they want to see – for example a cedar hedge, picket fence or keep it natu-ral vegetation,” said Symon. “But it must be to our satisfaction and we oversee to make sure it’s fair.”
Langlois said she hasn’t been contacted yet by the developer about trees being re-placed on the prop-erty, and wanted to make sure there will be a dialogue between the developer and neighbours regarding the fencing.
Langlois also asked
what kind of housing the new subdivision would include.
“In the planning ra-tionale that was pre-pared by Novatech, there was a reference to it being affordable housing,” said Lan-glois. “But I under-stand that it isn’t af-fordable housing. So if the development isn’t affordable hous-ing, why was it in planning rationale?”
Symon and the de-veloper, who was also present at the meet-ing, weren’t sure of the affordable hous-
ing reference but told Langlois they would look into it.“I’m not disputing the need for affordable housing,” she said.
“I’m just wondering about the intent.”
Finally Langlois asked a question re-lated to how this new subdivision would maintain the ru-ral character of the Kemptville Creek – which is one of the objectives in the Kemptville Creek Wa-tershed Plan.

Editorial Policy
Get out and vote
LETTER
Long-term care is close to home
OPP versusKFD
COMMUNITY
At the municipal level in a small community like North Grenville, councillors are our friends, neighbours and our co-workers. Decisions made by these people lie at the heart of how we live our daily lives.
It affects how we get to work in the morning. How fast we should drive on roads. How sewage will be treated and whether or not a subdivision will be built in our backyards.
That’s why it’s so puzzling why voter turnouts are so low every time municipal election year rolls around.
According to the municipality of North Gren-ville, only 39.3 per cent of eligible voters actually voted in 2006. Before that in 2003, it was 39.1 per cent. Before that in 2000, it was 40.6 per cent.
These alarming statistics show that less than half of the North Grenville population who were eligible to vote actually got out and voted.
The low voter turnout can be attributed to a number of things. People might say they’re too busy to vote and don’t have time. Others might say they’re not aware of the issues. With the voter age starting at 18, maybe a low level of youth engage-ment is another reason people aren’t getting out to the polls. These are all bad excuses.
But for someone to say they don’t vote because they don’t care about municipal issues is not only a bad excuse – it’s also a lie.
That would mean these people don’t care about their loved ones who might own a small business that could be destroyed when big box stores come to town. It would mean these people don’t care if their roads are plowed when we get those harsh Canadian winters, nor do they care about getting their lights turned back on when there’s a power outage.A lot of potential voters like to also use the excuse that their vote is one vote, and it doesn’t matter. But what’s been engrained in all of us – or should have been engrained in all of us – is that people died for us to have the right to vote.
North Grenville is a community that’s fi lled with great minds, and the community won’t reach its full potential unless we get 100 per cent of those great minds having their say on Oct. 25.
The Ontario Provincial Police have accepted the challenge and picked up the gauntlet thrown down by the Kemptville Fire Department.
Last week the Kemptville Fire Department challenged the O.P.P. to a paintball game at the Real Deal Paintball Park. The showdown has been planned for Sunday, October 3 at 10 a.m.
The public is welcome and there is no admission. Firefi ght-ers have asked spectators to bring along a food donation for the food bank. The word on the street is that both services have been busy mapping out their strategy. Support your com-munity while cheering for your favourite service.
It was with great interest earlier this summer, that I read your four part series “Situation Critical - the crisis in long term care.”
I work as the activity programs and services director at a 98 bed long-term care home located in Win-chester.
As I read your articles, I could relate in many ways to your research and fi ndings, and I agreed with many of the issues you presented, namely, lack of funding, training, space, and beds.
I do query as to why when you were doing a focus on long-term care, why you didn’t do a little research in our own backyard?
While many of the issues you men-tion are faced in homes like HillTop Manor in Merrickville, Bayfi eld Man-or in Kemptville and Dundas Manor in Winchester, I believe you may have also got another look at what goes in these homes.
All three of the above mentioned are what are called “stand alone” homes, which means they are
privately owned and operated. In Dundas Manor where I am employed, the same family owns it that built it 32 years ago.
They are in the building every day and take an active role in ensuring our resident’s needs are met and the Bill of Rights is followed.
The government recently released the new Long Term Care Act which reviewed all processes in the admin-istration of care at all levels and departments in long term care.
The new funding model MDS is forcing all staff to look at restoring residents’ abilities and ensuring all possible services and referrals are made to promote the best care pos-sible.
These are all positive steps in ensuring excellent care and a more resident-centred approach.
I don’t know, maybe I am old fash-ioned and a bit naive, but I feel these local homes are jewels.
They still have a small town feel where everyone looks out for each other.
Often the staff is caring for their former neighbor, teacher, or farmer they bought hay from.
I know the hot topics in your paper right now are elections, subdivisions and zoning, the arrival of new build-ings like the library and WalMart, all very current and important.
But, every now and then perhaps you should head up to Bayfi eld and chat with some of the residents about what is going on with them, ask them to tell you how they knew when it was a good time to cut hay, or how to make raspberry preserves, or what the cost of their fi rst car was.
Ask them what they think about what qualities it takes to be an ef-fective mayor, ask them where the government should focus their study on long-term care.
Ask the local residents at Bayfi eld what they always liked about the Kemptville Advance, I think you will be glad you did.

South Stormont resident Jac-queline Sears was rushed to hospital in serious condition on Sept. 15 after falling off a horse in Ferguson Forest - a popular area in Kemptville where people often ride their horses.
Const. Cathy Lindsey said the OPP got a call shortly after 2 p.m. from an off-duty offi cer who reported Sears as injured. She was lying on a gravel portion in the forest.
“She was found immobile and was having a hard time breath-ing,” said Lindsey.
Around 2 p.m., North Gren-ville Mayor Bill Gooch spotted a horse with reins over its head off Highway 43 and caught it near the cemetery across from the forest.
He immediately called the police knowing something was wrong.
“It’s just logical,” said Gooch. “When you see a horse with
reins over its head, you can as-sume someone had fallen off.”
Resident Chris Bitterhoff of-fered to look after the horse at the cemetery while Gooch and a resident, who refused to give his name, waited for the woman who had been riding with the injured female to come back to the scene to retrieve the horse named Shady.
The woman, who only gave her name as Tammy, said she had been taking riding lessons with Sears for the past year or so.
When the off-duty police of-fi cer arrived at the scene, Tam-my went back to look after her friend.
“I was praying she’d be OK,” said Tammy.
She said Shady was known to be unpredictable although he generally likes to walk and has been a well-be-haved horse.
Gooch said it’s possible some-thing could have spooked the
horse, like another animal. Police couldn’t confi rm what
the cause of the accident was.Gooch, Bitterhoff and the oth-
er resident helped bring Shady back to the horse’s trailer locat-ed in the forest where Tammy came to pick it up.
While Gooch and the resident stopped traffi c to help Bitterhoff and Shady cross Highway 43, two cars were involved in a fender bender.
Lindsey, who was been a resi-dent for 11 years, said this was the fi rst time she had ever heard of something like this happen-ing in North Grenville.
Sears, 51, was rushed by am-bulance to Kemptville District Hospital where she was then transported to a hospital in Ot-tawa.

The number of runners was up this year despite having to com-pete with the military run in Ot-tawa.
The fi rst Terry Fox Run took place in 1980. It was called the Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope. In 2009 thousands of people from across Ontario had pledged and donated $10.5 million to can-cer research. North Grenville residents would eventually add
themselves to the list of 220 Ter-ry Fox Runs that take place each September in Ontario.
Over the past 30 years $500 million dollars has been raised for cancer research through the Terry Fox Foundation.
Thanks to years of research Terry Fox, if diagnosed today ,would most likely not have had his leg amputated and his chance of survival would have been 80 per cent greater than in 1977.

Municipal Elections 2010
The township of Edwardsburgh-Cardinal enjoys having a bit of two worlds come together under one roof.
The agricultural industry plays a prominent role in the township. While farming dominates the north end of Edwardsburgh-Cardinal, its south end includes the village of Cardinal and the St. Law-rence Seaway, the Port of Prescott and the popular County Road 2 tourist route that takes visitors from Montreal all the way west to Gananoque. The 2010 municipal election in Edwardsburgh-Cardinal will feature an interesting battle for the mayor’s chair between two political veterans. Councillor Bill Sloan is taking on Mayor Larry Dishaw for the mayor’s position at the council table.
The township uses a ward system with two councillors looking after each ward. The council is made up of the mayor and six councillors. In the 2010 election there are two councillors who have decided they will not run again.

Edwardsburgh-CardinalThe Township of North Dundas seems to have been enjoying its
fair share of stability.The area has maintained a modest growth pattern that refl ects a
careful development strategy.Voters can choose from a variety of interesting platforms this
time around including, more community input into local govern-ment through the use of committees as well as creating a strategy to deal with the gravel roads on the township just to name two.
In the 2010 North Dundas municipal election, Mayor Alvin Run-nalls, who is trying for a third term in offi ce, is running against councillor Eric Duncan.
Deputy Mayor Estella Rose, a veteran member of the North Dun-das council, is up against Gerry Boyce of South Mountain for the deputy mayor position.
Around the council table are incumbents Allan Armstrong and John Thompson. Taking them on are newcomers Doug Shirreffs, Wray Holmes, Tony Fraser and John Cayer.
Merrickville-Wolford is indeed “A Jewel of the Rideau”. The area is a tourist destination for most of this part of Ontario and northern New York State.
It is governed by a mayor and six councillors. Since amalgamation, two members of council rep-resent the Wolford Ward (the former Wolford Township), two members of council represent the Mer-rickville Ward (the former Village of Merrickville) and two members represent both wards as at large members. The current mayor is a resident of the Merrickville Ward and subsequently the deputy may-or is a resident of the Wolford Ward. The current municipal council was acclaimed during the last municipal election in 2006. This time around the only member of the council who has been acclaimed is Merrickville-Wolford Mayor Doug Struthers. There are 12 residents of Merrickville-Wolford who have decided to ask voters for a seat at the council table.

Every disease known to man is tried out on a sheep fi rst.” This statement, or some varia-tion of it, is often uttered by the Farmer when we lose a ewe or lamb due to some myste-rious ailment that we’ve never seen before.
I fi nd the dec-laration a bit confusing, as I’m pretty sure that humans and sheep don’t share the same dis-eases – but I’m not about to question him.
Just like my father, the Farmer has his favourite sayings and I’m not going to mess with them.
He uses them whether they fi t the situation or not, and yes, he is prob-ably a good candidate for a website called, “Crazy Sh*t my Dad Says.” Fun-ny that they don’t have a similar collection of say-ings attributed to mothers. Perhaps it is a direct result of generations of exasper-ated mothers saying, “Go ask your father.”
Anyway, I digress. The latest sheep casualty was a perfectly healthy looking lamb who just got weaker
and weaker, un-til one day she couldn’t stand up. We put her in a pen and tried antibiot-ics, penicillin, even homeo-pathics before she fi nally gave up the ghost. The Farmer took a closer look at her swol-len throat and said, “Bottlejaw. Time to work the sheep.”
Parasites are a continual problem with a herd of sheep, and al-though the ewes are pretty tough, the lambs can be taken down in just a few days of the affl iction.
So, instead of cozying up with a glass of wine, a pizza and a movie on Fri-day night, we hooked the sheepdog to her leash and put her to work herding the sheep into the barn.
The Farmer says a fl ock of sheep fl ows like water. If you can get one through the gate, they will all fol-low. If one breaks away, a trickle of others will follow. The key is to put barriers at all the escape routes. Chelsea the sheep-dog is the best guard. I am not. The sheep look at me and I’m sure they’re think-
ing, “Hey. Isn’t that the chick who feeds us corn and treats every once in a while? I’m goin’ her way.”
I’m supposed to smack their fl uffy butts with my shepherd’s crook and use it to block the exit, much like a hockey goalie wields his stick between the posts. I was never very good at hockey.
Finally we get the sheep into the back room where we can open the door and bring a few out at a time into the gated area that acts as a chute.
The Farmer approaches the pile of cowering sheep in the corner, grabs one by the scruff and straddles it. Then he holds his hand out to me and yells over the din, “Big one!” or “Little one!” depending on the size of his captive.
I load up a needle with the pre-determined dos-age of Ivomec and hand it to him. I have only stuck him once. Usually I stick myself.
You know your needle hit the spot when the sheep does a little dance followed by a jump in the air.
It’s like they are try-ing to shake off the sting. Then they squeeze out the chute door and start hol-lering for someone to com-miserate with. See FARMWIFE page 20

Susan Faith-Lecoupe knew she had to do something when she realized how many people around her were affected by breast cancer.
Her mom had a breast cancer scare in the spring. She later found out her aunt had had a double mastectomy.
“I am not the type of person to sit by and do nothing,” said Lecoupe. “But when it comes to cancer, that’s what you have to do. It’s not the type of disease where you can donate blood or give an organ.”
That’s why Lecoupe combined her love for Halloween – and her 30th birthday milestone – as a chance to host Haunted Hap-penings – A Costume Gala in support of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.
“I thought, why not combine all three of them and do some-thing special?” she said.
With help and support from her colleagues in event co-ordi-nating and her employer, AJ’s Catering, she’s throwing the event on very little operating costs.
“I’ve lucked out in the way of community support,” she said.
“A lot of it is working with peo-ple I work with in the industry
and pulling in some favours.”Lecoupe has been promoting
the event through Facebook, posters and through the website she has set up.
She hopes to sell a minimum of 100 tickets at $20 each.
But, the hall can hold up to 150 people.
“I’ve gotten a lot of support from my friends and family,” she said.
“Now it’s just getting the word out to the community and push ticket sales.”
Lecoupe hopes to raise more than $2000, and the event will also feature a silent auction which she expects will add more to the amount of money raised.
“Two thousand dollars is just a drop in the bucket unfortu-nately, but it’s better than zero dollars,” she said.
In addition to the silent auc-tion, Lecoupe said those who at-tend are encouraged to dress up for a Halloween costume contest, great food, door prizes and mu-sical entertainment from Corn-wall-based band Whiskey Sour.
Plus, she has a few surprises in store.
“I just want people to dress up, come out and have some fun,” she said. “And I couldn’t have picked a better location.”
The gala will be held at the Howard Johnson hotel in Kemp-
tville, which she said will make an excellent setting for a Hallow-een gala.
“It has a classic, dark Victo-rian feel to it,” she said.
Lecoupe said she hopes to make it an annual event, but will use this year to determine what she plans for next year.
Through all of the planning for this event, Lecoupe said her proud mother is also helping her out with the event.
“She’s never been shy about her emotions, and she’s told me more in the last little while how proud of me she is,” said Lecoupe.
In 2010, an estimated 23,200 women in Canada will be diag-nosed with breast cancer, an in-crease of 500 from 2009.
Tickets to the Haunted Hap-penings Gala are available on-line at: www.sellyourevents.com/hauntedhappenings.aspx
Tickets can also be purchased at the Howard Johnson hotel or through Lecoupe by calling her at 613-258-9684.
Her employer, AJ’s Catering in Metcalfe, will also be selling tickets and can answer any ques-tions at 613-821-1445.
More information on the event is also available by visiting: http://sites.google.com/site-hauntedhappeningscbef/ and it’s on Facebook.
A head-on collision in North Gower has left a man and woman in hospital with life-threatening injuries and two children under fi ve who were left unharmed.
The crash happened on Sept. 15 just before 4 p.m. on Roger Stevens Drive near North Gow-er, between McCordick and Mal-akoff roads.
“When we arrived, the gentle-
man was already out of the vehi-cle which surprised us because he should have required extrica-tion, but he somehow managed to free himself and get out,” said Marc Messier of Ottawa Fire Services.
The male driver, who freed himself from his silver Acura, was airlifted to the trauma unit and was listed in critical condi-tion with life-threatening chest and head injuries.
Messier said it took about 45
minutes to get the female driver out of her Taurus while her chil-dren – both under fi ve years-old and in car seats – were cut out of the car by an off-duty fi refi ghter who came to help.
The children were strapped in their car seats and were un-harmed, but inspected by emer-gency medical services.
“I would assume there was probably a lot of crying going on,” said Messier of the chil-dren. “They were young children
so they must’ve been scared.”Messier said the woman had
broken arms, broken legs and internal injuries.
Fire offi cials had to remove the doors and roof from her car, and use equipment to rip the dash away from her.
She was rushed by ambulance to the Ottawa Civic Hospital’s trauma unit and the children were taken to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario to get looked at, according to emer-
gency offi cials.A third car was involved in the
collision but the driver wasn’t hurt.
Messier can’t confi rm if the road is known to be dangerous.
“Road conditions were fi ne,” he said.
“I don’t know as to who crossed over the line but it ended up as a head-on.”
It’s unknown how fast the cars were going when the crash hap-pened.

Special to the Advance
In the fi rst game of the season at the North Grenville Munici-pal Centre, the 73’s took on the Nepean Raiders.
The start of the game featured the introduction of the mem-
bers of the 2010-11 team, includ-ing where they were from and how long they had been in the league.
Ten members of this year’s team will be enjoying their rook-ie season.
Kemptville goaltender, Ben Curley was presented with an
award from the CHL for being selected as the Combat/CHL Player of the Week by 73’s Gen-eral Manager, Paul Brenton. Brenton stated that this is a sig-nifi cant award as it is voted on by the general managers of the other teams in the league.
This means some of the vot-ers felt that Curley played bet-ter than players on their own teams.
However, the game did not pro-ceed as Kemptville had hoped.
After taking a 2-1 lead to the dressing room at the end of the fi rst period, it looked great.
Josh Pitt scored his fi rst of the season followed by a beautiful short-handed effort by Ben Hut-ton for his fi rst of the year. In the second, the Raiders scored twice and added one more in the third.
Three of the four Nepean goals were scored on the power-play. The 73’s suffered their fi rst regulation loss of the season by a score of 4-2.
On a warm Sunday afternoon, Kemptville welcomed the Brock-ville Braves to North Grenville. Before the game was ten min-utes old, the Braves had scored three times to set the tone.
After that outburst, both teams settled into fast, end to end hockey.
Kemptville notched a power-play goal late in the period to go into the fi rst intermission down 3-1. The goal was scored by Jake Clark, his fi rst of the season.
The remainder of the game was played in much the same
fashion with no further scoring. Ben Curley was named the fi rst star of the game as he stopped 37 of the 40 shots that he faced.
Coming up this week, the 73’s travel to Nepean on Wednesday, Sept. 22 and to Brockville on Friday, Sept. 24 in a rematch of this past weekend’s games. Both games are 7:30 p.m. starts.
On Sunday, Sept. 26, the 73’s will face the Gloucester Rang-ers.
In a fl ashback to Kemptville’s Junior B days, game time will be 7 p.m.
Come out and fi ll the stands. Catch some exciting hockey!

The newly-minted CHL got a chance to show off its changes on the opening day of the CHL showcase at the Kanata Recre-ational Complex on Sept. 10 and the two-referee system was front and centre.
The idea was voted on in the offseason and was initiated as part of the league’s branding in May.
Because all Hockey Canada regional and national events must by offi ciated by two referees, CHL president Kevin Abrams said instituting the system a year earlier helps everyone adjust before the Fred Page Cup comes to Kanata in 2012.
“You’ve got to embrace change,” he said. “I see the benefi ts of it. I see that the positioning is better for the offi cial and gives him the opportunity to make better calls.”
Some feel the system isn’t without its wrinkles however.
In the second period of the game be-tween the Carleton Place Canadians and Cumberland Grads, Canadians defence-man Donovan Gardiner was given a hold-ing penalty during a play along the end boards in the second period. The penalty was not called by referee Tom Sweeney, who was positioned in the in the zone, but instead by colleague at centre ice Bruce Gray. It’s because of examples such as that one that caused Canadians owner
and head coach Jason Clarke to vote against the idea in the offseason.
“This isn’t the NHL,” he said. “We shouldn’t be wasting our budget on two refs.”
Not knowing exactly what transpired on that play, Scott Loney said the call was probably made by the appropriate offi -cial. A 14-year offi cial of CHL, Loney has worked games with two referees before, and said the offi cial in the zone is sup-posed to watch happenings in front of the net, while the other one’s priority is the play in the corner. Plus, with the constant communication between periods, ensur-ing consistency usually isn’t a major con-cern.
“For the most part, guys are able to adapt enough and see what the other guy is call-ing so they know whether their standard needs to be lowered or increased,” Loney said, who worked the Kanata Stallions-Kemptville 73’s game later that night. While Abrams recognized the additional expenses the league must incur to hire more referees, he said it is the perfect op-portunity for the league to help develop more high-quality offi cials.
He added another referee on the ice means more calls will be the correct one.Nepean Raider head coach and general manager Peter Goulet agrees.
“I think it’s one of the best things we did all summer,” he said. “It helps get all the stuff behind the play. It eliminates a lot of cheap stuff and guys getting hurt.”

The under 13 Kemptville girls competi-tive soccer team capped off a fantastic season with a solid gold medal victory in the pouring rain at the Kickin in the Capi-tal tournament held in Ottawa, Sept 12.
Kougars fi nished the tournament un-defeated against some stiff local compe-tition and teams from North Bay, Milton and Toronto.
Finishing fi rst in their pool with 3 wins and a tie the Kougars went to the semi fi -nals and secured a 1-0 victory over North Bay on a strong left footed effort from out-side the box to make it to the fi nals. The
fi nal was played under diffi cult condi-tions driving rain and wind but the Kou-gars used their skill, control and fi nesse to lock up the gold with another solid 1-0 shutout victory. All games were shutouts and refl ected the inpenetrable Kougar de-fence.
This tournament signaled the end of a wonderful season where the Kougars went undefeated in league play and took three tournament gold medals.
Their success was attributed to the hard work, effort and practice all girls dedicated themselves to for the entire sea-son. Coaches and parents are extremely proud of all their accomplishments!

From KEMPTEN page 3
Symon said her question would have been more appropriate to ask at the Au-gust public meeting before draft condi-tions had been made for the new subdivi-sion.
However, he said 98 per cent of the wa-ter line is rural and it will remain rural.
“This portion of the Kemptville Creek is in the urban boundaries and it won’t stay rural,” said Symon. “When you look at the Kemptville Creek Watershed Study, it’s acknowledged that there’s a differ-ence between urban and rural. The state-ment you’re making deals with the vast majority in the rural area but not in the urban area.”
Langlois said the objective of the wa-tershed plan just said “rural character,” and she didn’t see any distinction.
“The rural character to me means keep-ing housing at a low density,” said Lan-glois.
“I understand Kempten Park is part of urban service area but wasn’t when I moved here and when other people did. So, the rural character will not be pre-served.”
Mayor Bill Gooch stepped in, and said that Langlois’ concerns had already been addressed by Symon.
Once council took a look at the condi-tions for draft approval, it was sent to the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville.
Park development still raises questions

Left to right are: JoAnne Best, President of the Leeds Grenville Provincial Progressive Con-servative Association; Gord Brown, MP; Monica Parmar, recipient who received $1,000 for post-secondary education; John Johnston, Selection Chair; Steve Clark, MPP and Dave Gordon, President of the Leeds Grenville Federal Conservative Association.
The latest provincial educational testing show-cases two area schools who are leading the way in helping their students excel.
Teachers and staff from all Ontario school boards have risen to the challenge of fi nding a better way to build their students skills.
The results of all that labour have paid off for two schools in the area, St. Michaels Catholic High School and Mer-rickville Public School.
The Education Quality and Accountability Of-fi ce, (EQAO) has released a report that details what was determined after Grade 9 testing was com-pleted in mathematics along with the Ontario Secondary School Lit-eracy Test. The test was designed for English lan-
guage students.The goal of teachers
is to be able to fi ne tune how they are teaching students, and fi nd ways to quickly assess if their strategy is having the de-sired effect.
The challenge behind the teaching strategy is that while the content of education may change from generation to gener-ation, how children learn and how well they are able to effectively absorb, retain and use informa-tion is something educa-tors are always trying to perfect.
The test results indi-cate that the 27 schools involved in the EQAO testing have been able to demonstrate that their students are benefi ting from the efforts of teach-ers and school staff to keep learning styles cur-rent and effective. The EQAO tests measure the success of those efforts.
At St. Michael Catholic High School the distinc-tion of being recognized for producing students with increasingly better skill sets is becoming the norm.
“It is an indication of our ability as a board to implement the strategy that is researched-based to improve the skills of our students,” said Jane McMillan, superinten-dent of school effective-ness at the Catholic Dis-trict School Board of Eastern Ontario.
McMillan noted that Holy Cross Elementary public school in Kempt-ville has been enjoying great success in bring-ing the level of their stu-dents’ skills up. “Their results are outstanding,” she added.
The superintendent attributed the testing results at St. Michael Catholic High School and right across her board to
the efforts of the teach-ers. “Our teachers are working very hard to give students more feedback and more frequently,” she said.
She believes that giv-ing children the skills to be able to do well at criti-cal thinking, especially in
these modern times, is crucial to the child’s suc-cess in an educational en-vironment and beyond.
St. Michael Catholic High School was used as a case study in the report as was Merrickville Pub-lic School.

More than 150 people were at the North Gren-ville Municipal Centre to see the unveiling of a new interactive website and vibrant new marketing brand to attract regional investment.
Launched by the Leeds-Grenville Economic Devel-opment Offi ce, Minister of State (Science and Tech-nology) Gary Goodyear, Senator Bob Runciman, Member of Parliament Gord Brown and Warden Bill Thake were among those on hand for the prod-uct unveiling held recently at the centre.
“Our new logo and In-vest website are impor-tant tools and part of our overall economic develop-ment action plan,” said United Counties of Leeds and Grenville Warden Bill Thake.
“The website gives peo-ple one-stop shopping for local information, ranging from directories to busi-ness start-up aids.”
Banners were uncov-ered that showed a new logo for the county – a new, modern teal and burgundy logo with the simple title “Leeds Grenville.”
The main graphic of the logo refl ects many of the elements to the Unit-ed Counties of Leeds and Grenville including agri-culture, tourism and rec-reation.
The new brand updates the county’s image and is vital to promoting the region, said Economic De-velopment Manager Ann Weir.
“We’re building a re-gional toolkit beginning with the new website,” she added.
Goodyear – who heads the Federal Economic Development Agency for
Southern Ontario - was also on hand to give the keynote address to the au-dience
Runciman and David Be-atty, CEO of Canarm Ltd., were also special guests for the event.
The pair shared with the audience a look back of roundtable discussions fo-cused on economic devel-opment they had launched together more than 10 years ago to encourage growth.
Speakers like Elizabeth Savill, CAO for the County of Frontenac, were also there to talk to the partici-pants about economic sus-tainability.
There was also a presen-tation given by Chairman Dan Stanford from the Eastern Ontario Commu-nity Futures Development Corporation Network on the Eastern Ontario De-velopment Program and a case for renewal.

Vac ShackVac ShackThe Accidential Farmwife: Just another weekend
I fi nd the whole experience entertaining and satisfying, be-cause you do get a sense of ac-complishment when all 100 sheep are properly medicated, hooves trimmed, etc.
But I can’t speak for the Farm-er.
He usually is covered in sweat and has a very sore back at the end of the ordeal, which takes about 2 hours on a good day.
On Saturday, my husband had his band of merry men over for a pre-season skeet shoot. Appar-ently when the hunters play, the horse runs away. Misty and Don-key found a gate left open by some rookie for their convenience, and seized the opportunity to go visit the neighbour’s apple tree.
I would like to take this op-portunity to apologize to Megan,
who was getting something from the trunk of her car when she felt hot breath on the back of her neck…Misty and Donkey are very curious.
Maybe they just wanted to help the girl to get over her fear of horses.
Saturday night we enjoyed an evening of karaoke singing at Lock 17 in Burritts Rapids with a bunch of family and friends.
Thank you to Richard for my new cowgirl hat, which I will hide so that it doesn’t end up in the burn barrel with the last one that the Farmer “accidentally” threw out.
I would like to thank Denyse, a reader from Winchester who sent me a lovely hand-written letter this week. Thank you for read-ing! www.theaccidentalfarmwife.blogspot.com
From AREA page 19
In Merrickville the challenge was to take a look at how stu-dents were doing in reading, writing and mathematics. Prob-lem solving, literacy and the opportunity for all students and staff at the school to experience modern technology have made a difference. It highlighted how the school is using new technol-ogy to enhance student learning. The study stated, “In fact the use of technology is exceeding all ex-pectations in terms of the speed and depth of interactive student
learning, as well as heightened interest and engagement, espe-cially among boys. In differenti-ating instruction, staff is discov-ering that what is essential for some students can be advanta-geous for all of them.”
School principal Ray West-endorp said “There are many forms of data. Any meaningful data that helps us support stu-dent learning is what we want to pay attention to. It allows us to see what trends we’re on and where we are heading.”

Almost $1 million has been raised to help im-prove cancer research thanks to more than 325 bike riders.
Participants rode 100 kilometres from Ottawa to Merrickville-Wolford as part of the fi rst an-nual Ride the Rideau event.
The event raised $901,000 which will help build the new Centre
for Innovative Research at the Ottawa Hospital General Campus. The centre will help speed up research into treat-ments that connect vi-ruses, cells and genes to help destroy cancer.
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death for Canadians – 6,000 patients have been diag-nosed in the immediate community this year.
RIDE THE RIDEAU RAISES ALMOST $1 MILLION
More than 160 shoeboxes fi lled with basic hygiene items were collected this year at Kemptville And District Home Support Inc. and sent to seniors in need in Chernobyl.
Executive director Cheryl Brown want-ed to thank each se-nior, volunteer, staff member and the com-munity at large who
contributed and fi lled a shoebox for a Cher-nobyl senior.
The shoeboxes in-cluded toothbrushes, toothpaste, sham-poo, deodorant, face cloths, hand towels, brushes and combs.
The shoeboxes have been delivered to the Canadian Aid for Chernobyl or-ganization based in Brockville.
