ADD SOME LAVENDER
Lavender can be a great as-set to any garden. It looks and smells great and has a connec-tion with the ancient Romans. 5
Finding something you lost - especially something you love - always feels like a small miracle.
That is how Crystal and Jamie Anderson feel af-ter fi nding their lost four legged family member.
The couple are avid dog lovers and live with two dogs, 10-month old Rhodesian Ridgeback pup Fynn and Gideon, an older Ridgeback. Like most folks in the area, the family came to Kemptville for the excellent fi reworks display every year. They live in Chesterville. Dur-ing the fi reworks Fynn decided he would rather be somewhere else and proceeded to put his plan into action. As a result, the couple had the terrify-ing prospect of never see-ing him again. The story of how he was reunited with Crystal, Jamie and
Gideon is a happy one.This Canada Day they
arrived at the Kemptville College University of Guelph Campus all ready for a great fi reworks dis-play. Both dogs enjoy trav-eling and being with Crys-tal and Jamie. However, throw in some very loud fi reworks and their reac-tion is not a happy one.
“Fynn wasn’t so happy with the fi reworks,” said Crystal. “So we each had a 70-pound dog in our laps to ease their anxiety. Fynn jumped off my husband’s lap and Jamie followed.”
Somehow as Fynn twisted around making his escape from the loud noises, the safety release on his collar came loose. He was gone.
“He ran through a crowd of people and straight down the street, past several cars parked by the railway tracks and across County Road 43.”
Osgoode village was busy on the weekend as the third annual Osgoode Medieval Festival took place, thrilling hundreds of visitors. There were many events to see and enjoy as the festival included jousting, archery, and sword fi ghting - not to mention an actual medieval King’s Feast. Visitors at the three-day event rubbed shoulders with medieval vendors, musicians, maidens and knights and enjoyed a bit of history from a distant past.

The Kemptville Youth Centre
Staples Business Depot has fi nally arrived in Kemptville. The grand opening of what will be the fi rst of many new businesses at the Colonnade Development off County Road 43, was held on Satur-day, July 10. In this photo the staff at Staples gather for a special group picture. The store has created 22 jobs for residents of North Grenville. Staples has given the Kempt-ville Youth Centre a gift card for $1,000 to help them buy items for their new building.

Anyone who lives with a dog can imagine the thoughts that went rac-ing through Crystal and Jamie’s head. The couple assumed that Fynn, in his attempt to put the fi reworks behind him, was running east. “We searched for several hours but it was dark and we were exhausted,” remembered Crystal.
The two had a plan to look for Fynn. They printed up fl yers with Fynn’s pic-ture along with contact numbers. The next morning they went back to Kemp-tville arriving at around 7 a.m. They
took bicycles and biked out along the east side of County Road 44 from the college area to the railway tracks that run under Highway 416. But they had no luck. The next step was to go door to door asking if anyone had seen or encountered Fynn. They went back to Kemptville with friends to help them and began talking to store owners, and people in the street. They put up more signs and handed out fl yers.
They even contacted all of the vet-erinarian clinics in the area and went out into the countryside stopping at farms and asking about Fynn. Despite
all of that work, there were no leads to be found. They included Facebook as one of their searching tools. “The re-sponse was overwhelming,” said Crys-tal.
“People residing in Kemptville were altering their normal activities and were actively searching for Fynn. In this day and age, for perfect strang-ers to come out and help in a time of despair and urgency - it was just so overwhelming,” said Crystal. By Sat-urday morning, July 3, there was still no luck. Two hundred more fl yers had been placed in mailboxes on the west
side of Highway 416.Then they received a call.
“Someone had spotted Fynn at the Kemptville College,” she said. Ja-mie found Fynn lying about 50 feet from the same tree we sat under on Canada day. “He was so exhausted all he could do was wag his tail,” said Crystal. “Fynn had bug bites all over his face and scratches on his nose and between two of his rear claws. With so much land to cover and so many places he could have gone, he came back to where he started and that in itself is amazing.”
The happy ending suited Fynn, Gideon, Crystal and Jamie just fi ne.
“In the end, so many friends, strangers and the Kemptville community came together to fi nd one little puppy. It really makes you feel good that people do care and reaffi rms our faith in human-ity,” said Crystal.

The North Grenville council cleared the air for residents of Burritts Rap-ids last week as they nixed the idea of carrying out a survey that would have considered whether or not the small community by the Rideau River should receive heritage status.
The issue of a heritage designa-tion fi rst aired at the special traveling council meeting that North Grenville convened in Burritt’s Rapids. The council wanted to sound out residents about the idea of a survey regarding declaring their village as a heritage conservation district. Residents felt that they had not had enough time to consider the idea of heritage designa-tion and the survey at this time might be premature.
The July 5 meeting of the council back in Kemptville was an ideal time for residents to prepare a response to the council’s initial idea of the survey.
Councillor Tim Sutton told the resi-dents assembled at the council meeting that the survey and the idea of a heri-tage designation was not one that the council wanted to “shove down their throats.” Forbes Symon, the director of planning for North Grenville, add-ed, “I do not think there was any inten-tion to force anything on anybody.” He added that he felt that the information
meeting for Burritts Rapids residents was sincere and it was very interest-ing to hear the comments.
Mayor Bill Gooch was quick to ex-plain his position to residents. “I be-lieve in the right of individuals to do what they want with their property,” he said. He added that he did not un-derstand why anyone would want to designate the entire island as a heri-tage area. “I do not support a heritage designation,” he said.
There were several residents of Bur-ritts Rapids who came to the meeting to ask questions and explain their con-cerns about the survey and an eventu-al heritage designation. Patrick Gon-neau brought a petition to the council. The petition had around 40 names. “We went to quite a few people,” he said. “They were not in favour of a heritage des-ignation.” Mr. Gonneau wondered if a secondary plan could be used to look after the majority of resi-dent’s concerns.
“I thought it was a real-ly good idea to take a walk around and ask about it,” said Gonneau. The con-cern with residents was that once declared as a heritage area, it would be diffi cult for that decision
to be undone.The council decided that a survey
right now was premature. They told staff to look into fi nding out from the City of Ottawa what they thought of the idea, considering that a heritage area would include a part of Ottawa.
The mayor asked the planning staff to come back to the council with more information probably for the fall and an information meeting for residents would be held. Councillor Terry But-ler suggested that if the heritage issue were to become a planning issue then the solutions might be different. Coun-cillor Barb Tobin agreed that there is concern about the streetscape and what can be done to protect it.

Sometimes when you are waiting for something to happen you can forget that the waiting is only the distance between the beginning and the ar-rival of what has caused all that fuss.
The specter of economic growth in North Gren-ville has teased at least two terms of councillors. It has created debate and concern among all play-ers in the game of making a profi t in Kemptville.
Most people have gotten used to the sound of the economic train that has been driving towards their town and year after year the sound of the commercial engine has been constant.
Staples arrived in Kemptville Saturday morn-ing, July 10. Last Saturday, the roundabout at the entrance to the Colonnade Development was busy as cars turned into the site and then into the Staples parking lot. The Staples store was open-ing. The fi rst of an avalanche of new businesses at the site, Staples’ arrival heralds the keeping of a promise by not only the people at Colonnade but the municipality. While Staples cannot be com-pared to the second coming or even the Montreal Canadian winning the Stanley Cup, they are a crucial and an important piece of the puzzle that is Kemptville. With Staples opening its doors there are 22 more jobs in the area than there were before. There is also more of a reason to skip driv-ing into Ottawa or Brockville to pick up what you need. There is still great competition in the area for Staples and residents will be the ones to come out ahead in the end.
In a time when economic development is often no more than wind passing you by with lots of talk and little substance, the arrival of Staples in Kemptville is a promise kept. The bad news is that local business in downtown Kemptville may feel a bit nervous about losing what trade the do have in Old town Kemptville. Competition anywhere is always a test for established business close by and while Staples will not challenge any grocery stores or car dealerships it does signal to everyone that business is moving forward and Kemptville is about to experience the kind of growth that a town or village only experiences every decade or so.
The term “heritage conservation” seems to be popping up almost every day in North Grenville.
Some people are advocating for heritage designation on some of the North Grenville’s surplus buildings while others around Burritts Rap-ids are fi ghting a possible heritage conservation district placed on their area.
All this talk of heritage conser-vation – both on buildings and in Burritts Rapids – seemed to surround me throughout the weeks leading up to my vacation. When I left for holidays in early July, it didn’t occur to me that stepping outside of North Grenville would give me a different perspective on the issue.
Sometimes, placing a heritage con-servation district on a community can help. But in the end, it’s really not a “one size fi ts all” issue.
While on vacation I visited my hometown, Niagara Falls. The city is known for more than its waterfalls and for being a typical tourist trap. It seems as if wherever you go around the region, it has a fascinating
history dating back before European settlement.
While I was visiting I went to Ni-agara-on-the-Lake – an old town that was recognized in 1986 as a provin-cial heritage conservation district and in 2004, federally designated a national historic district.
Every building in the old town must follow a strict code – even a nearby Shopper’s Drug Mart is designed to fi t in with the buildings, some dating back to the American Revolution and War of 1812.
Houses, bed and breakfasts and hotels either follow these same codes or they are in restored buildings that are more than 200 years old.
And people love it. While working as a summer stu-
dent down by the falls, I would always tell people to visit Niagara-on-the-Lake. Those who had already visited
had nothing bad to say. Even the residents don’t seem to mind living there.
While it gives off an historic feel, businesses are booming during the summer.
Those who want to get away from the typical tourist attractions of Niagara Falls can step back in time in this heritage district – and enjoy a glass of good wine while they’re there.
For the Niagara region, it just works. A heritage conservation district is just another piece to the puzzle.
Eventually, Burritts Rapids residents will be fi lling out surveys sent to them by the municipality on whether or not they want their com-munity designated as heritage. It’s been made clear that people either love the idea or hate it.
In the end, the community - and the municipality - needs to answer an important question. Is a heritage designation in Burritts Rapids inap-propriate for the community, or is it a missing piece of the puzzle?

Most gardens have a patch of lavender tucked into one corner or another.
The soothing aroma, the soft velvety feel and its ease of growth make it a very popular plant for any type of garden.
It can be used as edging, in borders, as a small hedge, or in rock gardens. It is especially nice when it is in easy reach of the back door where the fragrance can be released by a quick touch.
Lavender is an herb that comes from India, the Canary Islands, and the Mediterra-nean regions, and has grown for thousands of years in these sunny climates. Ancient Ro-mans used lavender in their bath water, and since the Latin lava means ‘to wash’, the plant was given the name lavendula, or Lavender. They brought lavender to their farthest outposts, and thus began the spread of lavender around the world. Monks in Britain grew lavender in their monastic gardens, perfumers in France as far back as the 17th century grew lavender for their per-fumes, and it was carried in nosegays to ward of pestilence and plague in cities all over Europe.
Today many types of laven-der can be found including La-vandula angustifolia, Lavan-dula x intermedia, Lavandula lantana, and many other vari-eties. The fl owers of lavender can be white, pink, red, and the well known bluish purple.
Many varieties can be grown as perennials in our Zone 5 cli-mate, but check the labels at the nursery, as there are many others that need to be in Zone 7 or higher to overwinter suc-cessfully. Alternately a tender variety can be brought indoors for the winter, and planted in the garden again in the spring. The lavender in your garden is a very versatile herb and all of the varieties have medicinal, culinary, and/or perfumery applications. One of the easi-est items to make using your lavender fl owers is a balm.
Lavender balm is a great item to have on hand, as laven-der is an excellent remedy for burns and stings, and it’s anti-bacterial properties help heal cuts and scrapes.
The oil in the salve is mois-
Using lavender from your gardenturizing which make it good for soothing faces that are dried by the wind, and softening rough chapped hands.
The base of all balms is infused oil. Most oils will work for this, including ol-ive, sesame, almond, grape seed, coconut, and saf-fl ower. Each oil has its own properties, but for a fi rst batch, any oil you have on hand will work. There are only three ingredients for home made lavender balm; lavender fl owers, oil, and beeswax. They are mixed at a basic ratio of one ounce of dried fl owers to one cup of oil to one ounce of bees-wax.
The fl owers can be picked just when they open to be at their most effective, but any time the fl owers are open will be fi ne.
The fl owers need to be dried for 24 hours before using to evaporate any ex-cess water.
Harvest the sprigs in the early morning, brush off any dirt or debris and hang in small bunches to dry in a cool dark place. Alter-nately, spreading on trays or screens in a cool dark place is also good.
Once the fl owers are dry, coarsely chop two ounces then add to either a crock-pot or a pan to put in the oven.
Add two cups of your chosen oil. Stir the mixture to ensure the fl owers are coated and heat for three
to fi ve hours at 100 to 125 Degrees F. More heat than this can cause the volatile oils in the lavender to evap-orate. Check the mixture a few times to ensure the heat is staying in the prop-er range. Strain the mix-ture through cheesecloth into a clean pot, or into a bottle for storage. The mix-ture is now an herb infused oil. Measure the amount of infused oil, and add the
appropriate amount of shaved or grated beeswax to the mixture, and stir un-til melted.
When the beeswax is melted, remove the pan from the heat. Use a metal spoon to remove a small amount and put it into the freezer so the mixture will cool rapidly. This will tell you how hard the mixture is without waiting for the entire batch to harden. If the sample on the spoon is too hard, add a little more oil, if it’s too soft, melt in a little more beeswax then test again. Once the hard-ness is to your liking, pour the balm into any wide-mouth container to cool and harden. Label the con-tainer with the date and the amount of each ingredient used for future reference.
This can be used and stored at room tempera-ture indefi nitely. Lavender is beautiful when grown in the garden, but by putting it to work for you, it shows you another face entirely and imparts a new appreci-ation for this fragrant little plant.

It’s something we all have in common, after all. The weather unifi es us. Last week sure was a scorcher, huh? A real record-breaker.
Over the last few summers, since I became the Farmwife, we haven’t had much heat.
It has been cool, gloomy and wet. The hay has been crap as a result. We were due for a hot summer. Like the summers of our youth.
Like many people my age, I grew up without air condition-ing.
We did have a monstrous square fan, however, that sat on the fl oor at the end of the hall-way in our two-bedroom bunga-low on George Street.
I would sit in front of it and sing into it, entertaining myself for hours with the robotic voice that emerged.
If it was unbearably hot, one could always retreat to the dark, cool basement.
The jingling of bells coming down the street sent us running for Mom’s purse. “The ice cream man is coming!!”
We have air conditioning in the farmhouse, but we aren’t fond of it, normally. We have been fond of it lately. That and the standing pool (too small for swimming) is keeping us alive, I think.
It’s nature’s cruel joke that this heat wave has been perfect haying weather.
I am equal parts relieved and feeling guilty that the task of bringing in the hay is really a one-man job.
I don’t think I would last long if we were stacking square bales on the wagon and transfer-ring them up to a hot loft in the barn.
Thank goodness for round bales.
But the Farmer spent a good two days bringing those up from the fi eld all by himself, with-out many breaks, because the sky threatened to dump rain on what looks like a delicious
sweet, green crop of hay. I watched from my fl oating
chair in the pool. Isn’t that aw-ful?
I paid for it with an upset stomach and a sunburn, but it was fun while it lasted.
I do my bit to contribute, head-ing out to the chicken coop fi rst
thing in the morning to wrestle 40-kg bags of feed while kicking my legs and shaking my head in a strange mosquito-repelling dance.
The chicks are getting to the age where they peck at my legs if I take too long struggling with the bag string, however, so this job may also get passed over to the Farmer soon. I don’t like be-ing hen-pecked.
The cows can always be found in the old log barn during the heat of day.
They pack all four of them-selves in that one tiny 8’ x 10’ stall, where it is dark and cool and the bugs don’t seem to both-er them.
I see four sets of eyes peering at me through the slats as I pass by.
The kittens lie fl at out on the deck of the swimming pool. They appear to be boneless, like furry puddles.
Occasionally they dip one paw in the pool and raise it to the mouth.
The horse and donkey roll on
their backs in the dusty sand to cool themselves and to ward off the biting fl ies.
We tried to cool Misty with a garden hose last year but she was having nothing of it.
The horse fl ies have left their mark on her.
I am having trouble convinc-ing her that bug spray is nothing to fear. The squirting startles her.
I will have to spray citronella on a cloth and rub it on her un-derbelly, where she is bitten the most.
The Farmer broke his shears after the second sheep this year, so most of our herd is still wan-dering around in full wool. Poor things.
They pant like dogs and lie be-side the water trough, under the shade of the tree.
Yes, it’s hot. But you won’t hear us complaining.
My fall fl owers are already beginning to bud, reminding us that cooler weather is just around the corner.
Much cooler.

HOWAIDA SOROUR
Just last month six local may-ors and about 30 business people from the Thousand Islands and greater region spent between two and three weeks in China – their mission - economic devel-opment.
Back in Canada and over their jet lag the members of the expe-dition are excited and thoughtful about the experience and the re-ality they discovered in China.
“They have done an awesome job of coming into the 21st centu-ry,” said Terry Cowan, co-owner of The Cove in Westport and a member of the delegation.
The mission, organized by Frank Kinsella, mayor of Leeds and the Thousand Islands as a follow-up to the friendship agreement signed with the Chi-nese Thousand Islands region, was by all accounts a great suc-cess. The delegation included private business owners, educa-tors and elected offi cials some of whom already have relations with China and others who are
interested in exploring new rela-tions.
“We are already active in Chi-na,” said Chris Whitaker, presi-dent and CEO of St. Lawrence College. “So I was interested in new opportunities for the college and certainly have a number of follow-up activities to pursue now. We’ve already set up meet-ing with our Brockville campus to plan tours for students and their parents from China,” he said from his Kingston offi ce.
Brockville in particular was looking for business opportuni-ties in China and city offi cials have said they now have fi ve or six solid leads to pursue follow-ing this trip. “I knew they [the Chinese] wanted to talk to Ca-nadian business people, and our people needed to see where Chi-na is, in terms of development,” said Kinsella.
The mission achieved most of its goals not least of which was to give those who hadn’t been there before a whole new appre-ciation for the sleeping dragon.
“My fi rst impression was on
arrival in Shanghai. It was the most sophisticated, advanced airport I’ve ever been in and you’d swear it was in the most developed country,” said Cowan.
For most of the Canadian del-egates the sheer enormity of the population, its density and the level of building activity was well remarked. “The incredible number of people that moved about in such a strategically organized fashion was amaz-ing,” said Merrickville-Wolford Mayor Doug Struthers who was among the six local mayors that
spent fi ve days in Beijing (popu-lation 22 million) before heading to Shanghai (population 20 mil-lion) to be joined by the rest of the delegation. Everyone com-mented that the infrastructure was unbelievable, with high-ways that would compete with the German autobahn, and end-less vistas of skyscrapers, which were in many cases apartment buildings.
“The infrastructure was mind-boggling,” said Cowan. The oth-er signifi cant comment was that construction activity was almost frenetic and constant, with mas-sive cranes dotting the skyline in every direction. From a tour-ism perspective, both Mayors Struthers, Kinsella and private owner Cowan agreed there are defi nite opportunities for tap-ping the huge Chinese tourism market with niche advertising while recognizing and learning to accommodate the tourist’s needs. “I think there is potential for joint tourism opportunities,” said Cowan, not least because the delegation of elected offi -
cials and business folk were able to garner a great deal of good will with their gracious hosts. Still there is a lot more to do.
“What we need to do is col-lect an inventory of our tour-ism destinations and market ac-cordingly,” said Kinsella. “They want to invest here, but they’re looking for a summary of poten-tial investment.” By comparison the Chinese Thousand Island re-gion, which is situated on a man-made lake, is designed for voy-eur travelers rather than active participants. “There’s no access to the lake, other than through carefully placed resorts, and then only from the docks which are not particularly conducive to swimming. There were no leisure boats or jet skis,” said Cowan. In spite of which there is considerable optimism that the Canadian Thousand Islands and surrounding region could be the contrast that would attract Chi-nese adventure seekers.
“We’re well positioned to be a destination of choice,” conclud-ed Struthers.

Townhouse and retail developments are becom-ing a reality in North Grenville.
Two public meetings at the end of June have re-sulted in re-zoning which will allow a townhouse de-velopment to move into its second phase and for retail development on Sanders Street.
The bylaws were passed on a late June council meeting held at the North Grenville Municipal Cen-tre. After notice was given to residents in the areas, Senior Planner Phil Ger-rard said there were no objections from the com-munity.
The fi rst zoning amend-ment was for lands within the eQuinelle subdivision in the former Oxford-on-Rideau Township. The pro-posed subdivision would be on 169 hectares of land and would have 420 units. The land fronts County Road 44 and River Road.
The land is actually starting its second phase of development, but the de-veloper wanted to ensure the zoning of the lands was correct before moving on to this stage.
The former bylaw said that the land was only to be used for single detached housing, but there was a need to have a mix of hous-ing options for marketing purposes.
Josh Kardish, a planner for eQuinnelle Homes Inc., was at the public meeting and said having a mix of residences on the land will be benefi cial to the munic-ipality.
He said he has already received positive feedback from some members of the public.
“We’re not squeezing them in there,” said Kard-ish. “We’ve been received very well and sales have been good.”
In addition, a small piece of a golf course is also be-ing re-zoned and will be added to the land.
Another public meeting
was held regarding 415 Sanders Street. With no objections, council passed a bylaw allowing 415 Sand-ers Street to be used for re-tail purposes.
North Grenville’s Of-fi cial Plan designates the area “downtown commer-cial,” meaning that the lands all along Sanders Street can be used for fu-ture retail development.
While areas of Kempt-ville’s downtown have been zoned for retail, a business in the downtown core will also be closing.
Mayor Bill Gooch an-nounced that Caicco’s Bis-tro on Prescott Street will be closing its doors.
“It has supported many charities,” said Gooch. “We wish Andy Caicco the best of luck. It’s a shame he’s closing.”
At an upcoming meeting, council will hold a public meeting for another new subdivison on the horizon - the Pine Hill Subdivision. Visit the Advance online at www.yourottawaregion.com for coverage.
When people say that Kemptville ath-letes compete around the world they are correct.
A group of karate enthusiasts who practice their skills at Douvris Martial Arts in Kemptville are getting ready to head off to the world championships in Portugal. Eight Douvrais students have joined forces to form the Kemptville Ka-rate Team.
Practicing for the championship is one thing but fi nding a way to fund the trip is another. That is where the North Gren-ville and Kemptville business communi-ties have come in to support the team. Along with businesses showing their sup-port, the team has also been backstopped by the Kinsmen Club of Kemptville.
On Sunday, June 27 the team took part in a fundraising golf tournament held at the Rideau Glen Golf Course. This was the fourth annual tournament for the team. It was a huge success for the young karate enthusiasts, their families and supporters. With perfect weather on their side, 72 golfers took over the club’s 18 - hole course. An estimated $6,000 is ex-pected to have been raised.
There was a chance for good golfi ng but there were also many prizes up for grabs. One tantalizing challenge was to sink a hole-in-one on par 3. Although a few golfers landed on the green close to the hole, no one was able to sink the ball. The gun-shot opening started at 10 a.m. and the last of the golfers made it in by shortly after 3:30 p.m. Dinner and prizes being awarded followed the day of golfi ng. A silent auction was also a main feature of the day with many interesting articles donated by local merchants from North Grenville, Merrickville, Ottawa,
Kanata and surrounding areas. The con-tributions were overwhelming, accord-ing to organizers, and were certainly ap-preciated by the Kemptville Karate Team Canada. There were items from games to paintings, Ottawa Senators tickets, gift certifi cates, work tools and more. The organizing committee was thrilled by the support from local businesses who al-lowed the committee to put their signs up and helped out in so many other ways.
The Kinsmen Club of Kemptville spon-sored a 50/50 Draw for Kemptville Karate Team Canada and tickets were sold in ad-vance of the event. The draw was made at the dinner, and the winner of $1,000 was Christine Guay of Ottawa. Team Canada would like to thank the Kinsmen and all those who purchased and helped to sell these tickets especially Jacob Wood and other team members who set up tables in the mall.
Glen Greer, MC for the day, thanked all the golfers and guests who attended this event and awarded prizes to the golfers. Prizes awarded were for: Best Team – The team of Philip Coates and Jeff Leman. Most Honest Team – Johnny V’s team who actually went into the water to get the shot. Longest drive – men – Mike Munroe (two years in a row); longest drive - wom-en – Karen Brûle, closest to the pin – men – Zach Morgan; closes to the pin – women – Karen Wood; and the winner of the put-ting contest, Sensei Ray Richards. The fa-cilities at the golf course were excellent as was the wonderful dinner, thanks to the manager and staff of the Rideau Glen Golf Course. This fundraising golf tour-nament is part of the continuing Kemp-tville Karate Team Canada campaign. Since Douvris Martial Arts, Kemptville opened its doors 13 years ago in July 1997 it has strived to produce some of the best karate members in the world. Sensei Earl
Horvath, owner entered the 1999 World Champions in Germany and his fi rst eli-gible student, Jamie Baker, joined him in 2001 to make a trip to Vienna. Every year since there has been at least one student representing Kemptville in these cham-pionships. This year eight of their stu-dents will be representing Canada in Por-tugal in their respective categories for the hopes of coming home with a world medal. These accomplishments are due not only to the hard work of the karate students, but also the wonderful Senseis who give so much of themselves to pro-vide superior coaching and mentoring skills. Sensei Earl Horvath (Coach) and Sensei Ray Richards (both 4th Dan black belts) are the two main instructors. The Kemptville Douvris Martial Arts Centre now boasts over 30 black belts (Junior, Senior, 2nd Dan, 3rd Dan and 4th Dan) training with the club and helping other students to obtain their goals.
Kemptville Karate Team Canada is an arms length organization of Douvris Martial Arts, and is comprised of club members and parents who help realized the participants’ goals by helping raise funds to support them in their sport. Team members train very hard every week, not only in regular classes but spe-cial sparring classes. These students com-pete at various venues during the year and must place not only at the provincial level but also place within the top three at nationals. Although the team members change year to year, the committee mem-bers are always looking for ways to offset the cost of travelling around the world. A garage sale and BBQ is planned later this summer as the teams fi nal fund raiser, and donations big or small are always welcomed. This year Kemptville Karate Team Canada
members consist of: Megan Wheatley, Ja-cob Wood, Morgan, Brandan and Valetta Hudson, Elyse Gorrell, Danielle Gorrell and Chenoa Cassidy-Matthews. Douvris would like to thank the committee mem-bers Valetta Hudson, Karen Brûle, Karen Wood as well as all other parents and sup-porters who all deserve accolades for the hard work and dedication they put into this successful fundraising day.

Make This Summer Season a Safe OneMake This Summer Season a Safe OneMC - Swimming is a popular pastime when it is hot outside -- provid-ing good exercise and keeping you cool. However, on average 4,000 water-related injuries occur every year. Many of them are related to swimming and boating. One in four fatal drownings is a child under the age of 14.
Even non-fatal drownings can be dangerous. Brain damage can occur from when a person is denied oxygen for prolonged periods. That is why pool safety should be an utmost priority this season.
Swim in safe areas only. It’s a good idea to swim only in places that are supervised by a lifeguard. Swimming in an open body of water is diff erent from swimming in a pool. You need more energy to handle the currents and other conditions. Don’t panic and don’t fi ght the cur-rent. Swim with the current, gradually trying to make your way back to shore as you do so.
* Remove enticing toys. Children may be drawn to fl oats or toys re-maining in a pool. Take them out of the water when the pool is not being used.
* Learn to swim. Enroll the family in a certifi ed swimming course. Not only will you learn the basics of swimming, you can learn techniques to stay afl oat and save someone’s life.
* Turn off the pump. Injuries have occurred across the country when children get stuck to fi lter intake sources. While many of these injuries occurred in larger, commercial pools, accidents can still occur at home. Turn off the fi lter for safety’s sake when the pool is in use.
* Learn CPR. If a person does become injured in a pool, prompt com-mencement of CPR can help clear the airways and revive an individual. Sign up for a class in your area.
* Prevent falls around the pool. Encourage swimmers to walk around the pool perimeter, not run. Otherwise they could trip and fall.
* Be careful at the Water Park. OK, so you do more splashing than swimming, but it’s just as important to know your skill level at the water park as it is at the pool. Take a moment to read warnings and other signs.
The pool and the beach are great places to learn new skills, socialize, and check out everyone’s new beach toy. So don’t let paying attention to safety turn you off . Now go have fun!

Merrickville Cruise and Shop celebrates 10 years
A. Morin Photos
There were cars of all kinds in Merrickville on July 11 as the village celebrated along with car show orga-nizers the 10th anniversary of the Merrickville Cruise and Shop Show. The warm weather was perfect for visitors to the show and what once was a special event years ago has become a tradition in Merrickville.
LAST IN A FOUR PART SERIES
By Mike Adler and Rob O’Flanagan
The answer to gridlock across Ontario’s long-term care system is an injection of new money,
elder advocates say.For nursing-home operators,
a top priority is the fulfi llment of a long-standing promise from the province to fund more staff.
Ontario’s Health Quality Council, a watchdog agency, sees more assisted-living homes as a potential pressure relief valve for overwhelmed nursing homes.
For thousands of Ontario families battling the system’s long waiting lists and cumber-some bureaucracy, any relief measure would do.
“I think the fi rst thing that is needed are more homes,” De-nise Riekstins of Toronto wrote in a typical e-mail response dur-ing research for Metroland’s special report.
“The waiting lists are ri-diculous, especially for newer homes. I also think that more thought should go into how to improve home care, maybe make it more affordable, so the person can stay in their home as along as possible. Institutional homes are certainly not like home.”
Health Minister Deb Matthews says quality improvements are taking hold now in all nursing homes, with a focus on reducing traditional health risks such as falls and bed sores.
Efforts to make more home care available as an alternative are in progress under a $1.1-bil-lion program created in 2007. More short-stay beds are being created, to help reduce the num-ber of seniors placed perma-nently in long-term care.
Such “restorative” beds, as Matthews calls them, allow el-derly people with short-term needs to be placed temporarily
in nursing-home beds to regain their health, and then go home.
But what exactly has to hap-pen to produce real change?
“I think more time,” Mat-thews said. “I mean, it does take time to change a system.”
Christina Bisanz, CEO of the Ontario Long Term Care Asso-ciation, believes in a conversion that would see nursing homes become a “hub” for all types of care.
With the right kind of plan-ning, she says, Ontario’s existing 625 homes could feature day pro-grams for the frail elderly who have dementia or chronic dis-eases, “to help them to live in the community as long as possible.”
Bisanz said nursing homes can become “more than just the residence where 24-7 care is given.”
In some Ontario long-term care homes, that’s already hap-pening.
At Shalom Village in Hamil-ton, residents pump iron to help maintain functional mobility.
Shalom’s health-club concept was originally regarded skep-tically by potential funding bodies, said Pat Morden, the home’s chief executive. A long-term care home is traditionally viewed as a place of restful care. That’s changing.
Experts in the fi eld of geron-tology say such workouts help prevent falls and other debili-tating mishaps, and can also improve cognitive ability. Ben-efi ts fl ow to the home and the resident.
Attitudes about what long-term care settings should be like and what services they should offer are changing rapidly. Re-searchers are looking at ways to incorporate brain-benefi ting music classes and computer games, and body-strengthening practices such as yoga and tai chi, into daily routines to make the fi nal years of life more re-warding, positive and healthier.
Morden has witnessed the ca-
pacity of activities such as mu-sic to reactivate mind and spirit. One resident who had a musical background but was debilitated by Parkinson’s and dementia be-gan to participate in the home’s long-standing drum circle.
He hadn’t spoken for two years.
“He was in the drum circle and he was drumming, and he was sobbing,” Morden said. “He just sobbed and sobbed. And then gradually he took over the leadership of the drum circle. That’s the magic, to fi nd those moments for people, at some level.”
Demands on long-term care in Ontario are mounting as the population ages, and as a more affl uent and informed popula-tion demands better care and more services.
Expectations of long-term care
have steadily increased in recent decades, said Dominic Ventres-ca, director of seniors services for Niagara, who oversees eight municipally run homes.
Residents who grew up dur-ing the Depression were content with “a bed and a meal,” and an occasional visit from a doctor or nurse, Ventresca said.
Ontarians now expect care that is above that base level, Ventresca and others said, with a greater selection of meals and activities, and more timely service — not just having nurs-ing or personal support avail-able, but having it delivered in a timely way, such as more fre-quent changing of diapers and other incontinence products.
Gerry Phillips, Ontario min-ister responsible for seniors said that the province is also en-couraging development of tech-
nology — from high-tech push-button devices to summon help or monitor health, to low-tech kitchen sinks people in wheel-chairs can use — that could help seniors stay home longer. As demand for senior-friendly de-vices grows, Phillips said, costs should go down.
In a decade, the fi rst of the baby boom generation will hit 75. By 2036, the number of On-tarians 75 and over will rise to 2.2 million, from 850,000 today.
Seniors will outnumber chil-dren in the future, and one might expect that a scramble to build as many new nursing homes as possible would be un-der way.
But that’s not what the prov-ince is doing, contrary to what some experts on the elderly ad-vise. Indeed, the focus is on ag-ing in place.
Ontario elder advocate Doris Grinspun said Scandinavia in-corporates the elderly into day-to-day life, and embraces them as vibrant members of the com-munity.
Every senior in Denmark gets a phone call at 75.
“Happy Birthday!” says the nurse on the line. “We’d like to discuss how to help you stay in your house as long as you want.”
Grinspun, cochair of the El-der Health Coalition, an adviser to the province of Ontario since 2004, said “we haven’t made enough progress” on helping seniors age gracefully at home, and there’s no time to waste.
In many places, small steps and shifts in attitude are inch-ing toward a future where it’s intended that most Ontarians won’t need a nursing-home bed, no matter how long they live.
Long-term care in Ontario is undergoing “total renovations,” and elder advocates Concerned Friends of Ontario Citizens in Care Facilities said it is pleased with the province’s new patient-centred direction, said Phyllis Hymmen, the group’s president.
“There’s a lot of encouraging things happening,” she said, adding people are still afraid of what the future may be like, “but increasingly less so.”
More money needed for long term care

Eric Leslie William GutknechtWe want to sincerely thank all those that played a role in Eric’s life these past 17 years. Its this role that made him into the genuine and unique individual he was in life and remembered as such forever in our hearts.
First thank you to the paramedics, fi remen, nurses, and doctors that tried to save Eric’s life.
Thank-you to those that attended Eric’s wake and funeral and for those that sent cards, wrote personal letters to us, posted comments on his Facebook page and created the ‘In Memory of Eric Gutknecht’ facebook page. Thank you to those that made donations to Eric’s favourite charities, the fl owers, gifts, food and baked goodies. Thank you to all of our friends, current and former employees at CRA who came to visit or called. Friends will always remember friends!
Thank you to the teachers at both NGDHS and KPS for paying their respects and painting the real picture of who Eric truly was.
A big hug to those that created the memorial ribbons and wore them in his memory at the prom, and to each and every friend that brought a rose to the prom and subsequently had them delivered to our home.
Thank you to the pall bearers Cameron Turcotte, Dave Maki, Jon Marshall, Mike Streight, Ben Ramsdale and Scott Thompson. This must have been an honour for you but we know it must also have been painfully diffi cult.
To Pastor Peggy Hudson, thank you for a beautiful service and send off to heaven for our precious boy. The music was simply outstanding and your message quite real and comforting. Thank you to Eric’s brother in law Chris Griffi ths who was able to maintain his composure in delivering our fi nal eulogy.
Thank you to our family who took care of so many arrangements (most notably the after funeral gathering and luncheon). To our beautiful daughter who during her own mourning of her brothers accidental passing was able and continues to hold us both upright.
Please continue to visit the In Memory of Eric Gutknecht’s facebook page, post comments, call and visit us as we try to mend our broken hearts.
If all of Eric’s friends is a ‘random’ sample of who will lead our country in the future, we truly are in good hands.
Love Billy/Valerie & Elizabeth
