Stanley Cup comes to town
KRISTY WALLACE
It all started in an out-door rink in the backyard of a Kemptville home.
Now, Kemptville native Ben Eager - who played left wing for Stanley Cup winners the Chicago Blackhawks – had his day with the Stanley Cup and brought it to Kemptville where he visited his grand-father at Bayfi eld Manor retirement home.
“I’d like to see some beer in it!” laughed his grandfa-ther, Ray Eager as he held the Stanley Cup.
Family and friends gath-ered outside Bayfi eld Man-or in the morning to see Eager arrive with the cup. Lois Crowder, a friend of the family, was outside with her grandchildren waiting for Eager’s arrival.
“I was out in Vancou-ver watching the game, I jumped for joy and every-one wondered what all the excitement was about,” she said. “All I said was, ‘Ben won’.”
Eager got some private family time in the retire-ment home with his grand-
father and immediate relatives. After that, Eager spent time autographing people’s shirts and taking photos with staff, residents and visitors.
“Chances are it’s never going to happen,” said his father, Art Eager. “From the outdoor rinks on the fi elds on the farm, to the organized hockey and all the different leagues, you never think you’d get your name on the Stanley Cup. It’s very special.”
Eager’s next stop was in Ottawa, but he said it’s been great being back in his hometown.
“As a kid it’s your dream and now it’s starting to set in,” said Eager in an in-terview with the Advance. “When the cup shows up at your house, it’s pretty sur-real.”
While he mostly played hockey in Ottawa, Ea-ger said the Kemptville community’s support has helped with his success.
“It’s been very supportive out here and a lot of people have been following my ca-reer,” he said. “It’s great to share it with the people in the town.”
Ben Eager, a Kemptville native and former left wing for Stanley Cup winners the Chicago Blackhawks, shows off his Stanley Cup to people waiting outside Bayfi eld Manor before he saw his grandfather, Ray Eager.

Hail storm destroys Merrick-ville area
farmKRISTY WALLACE
Walnut-sized hail recently hit
areas across North Grenville - and the damage has destroyed an area vegetable farm.
“It was just incredible to see. In one way it was awesome – it was hitting the ground and you couldn’t face into it and it was so big,” said Scott Kelland, owner of New Terra Farm just south of Merrickville. “But in another way it was pretty devastating.”
Kelland said he could only watch as the large hail – which came down for about 15 minutes – destroyed his garden that in-cluded peppers, squash, toma-toes and cucumbers.
“It piled up on my backdoor like a drift, still on my roof an hour later,” he said. “It punched holes my greenhouse and in the garden beds. It looks like a shot-gun had blasted the holes and it shredded plants.”
Kelland delivers to 45 homes in the area, including ones in Kemptville, Merrickville and Burritt’s Rapids.
He said he’ll have to contact his customers and let them know they won’t get their deliv-eries throughout the rest of the summer.
“It’s already the end of July,” he said. “It’s very late in the sea-son for a lot of things.”
However Kelland – who grows and delivers his vegetables up until Thanksgiving – said he might try and extend deliveries three weeks after his normal end date.
The loss of his business will also take a toll fi nancially for Kelland and his wife.
“It’s going to be rough. I do some consulting work but my wife is full time on the farm,” he said. “It looks like I’ll be going back to work as a consultant.”
Kelland said the hail storm serves as a reminder of how frag-ile crops can be and the impact it can have on a community.
“This is a fairly small scale di-saster but it’s taking food away from 45 families,” he said. “No-body’s going to starve because I cant bring them fresh veggies. But if a storm like this hap-pened on a larger scale, people should be prepared and really think about food security.”

010 OPINION
The news in the summer can be titillating, laid back, simply silly or carefully constructed so that no one sees what is coming next.
The recent splash about reviewing our nation’s affi rmative action program in regards to the civil service is case in point.
The program has been around longer than many of the people who have been complaining about it. Back in the day, so to speak, the program was the only way that many disadvantaged sec-tors of our society could get ahead. The govern-ment was really trying to fi ll public service posi-tions with an appropriate number of people from all parts of Canada and in doing so was naturally asking all of the rest of us to agree to put up a bit of generic unfairness in order to address a greater need. Back in 1986 Canadians were in agreement about affi rmative action even though from time to time, it was frustrating.
Now we hear that the conservative government wants to review the program. Not only are they apparently looking at the program, they will be looking at the entire Public Service Employment Act.
The issue raised is that in trying to help vis-ible minorities, women, aboriginal and disabled people, the government has to be carful not to achieve its desired results by discriminating against the rest of us who do not fall into one of those categories. You can bet that someone will be offended. There has to be an understanding between politicians and people they represent.
Eventually there will be the need to change the affi rmative action program if for no other reason than after a generation or so the population will have shifted, and minorities will be majorities and those who once needed help will be in a better position to make it on their own.
Until then, the government will have to make sure that as they revisit the concept of fairness in hiring in the public service they keep in mind that their program has to refl ect as much as possible the sense of fairness that all Canadians share.

Editorial Policy
Fairness for all Canadians
Long form takes 12 minutes to complete for fi ctitious family
NEVIL HUNT
If information is power, why does the federal government want less information?
The Conservatives recently an-nounced the end of the long-form census, the document that helps many organizations – and the gov-ernment itself – make the right deci-sions about a community’s needs.
At the same time, the voluntary short form will go to more homes.
End result? More forms, less infor-mation and greater cost.
Voluntary data is always suspect. Some demographic groups will fi ll them out more than others, and will therefore be over-represented.
Industry Minister Tony Clement asked Statistics Canada to scrap the long form without any public con-sultation. Now the people who need
accurate stats are complaining.Clement has since said he won’t
change his mind, pointing to Cana-dians’ fears of government intru-sion, although the census folks soon pointed out that complaints are just about nil.
In the interests of research, I printed out a long form from a recent census and fi lled it in on behalf of Jane and John Doe.
Remember that all the info that could identify the Doe family is kept out of the hands of researchers for at least 92 years. If the Does are para-noid, they can even choose to check a box that ensures their names are never linked to the census, even if they’re dead and buried.
The Doe family shared the follow-ing information for consumption by researchers and the public:
sex, birthdate and marital status,disabilities,place of birth, citizenship, lan-guages spoken,their race and families’ ancestry, if they’ve moved lately,level of education and fi eld,
•••
•••
workplace and occupation,time spent each week at work and doing unpaid work,how they commute,income,if they rent or own their home, and when it was builtthe number of rooms and bed-rooms in their home,what they spend on utilities,how much their home is worth.
If this feels too onerous for some, maybe they should stop using a crayon. If it feels too intrusive for others, maybe they should pack up the canned food and the guns and go live in a cave before the G-Men come to take them to the secret UN labour camps.
Filling out the forms took me 12 minutes. Imagine throwing out some of this nation’s most valuable data – data that could be valuable for decades to come – because of 12 minutes of paperwork.
Bad decisions are worth revers-ing. Especially when we end up with a more expensive census that is not quite worthless, but undoubtedly worth less.

Louise Pillon went from being laid off to pursuing a dream she always had, thanks to an area program that helps peo-ple start their own business.
“I’ve always wanted to work with ani-mals,” said Pillon, who was laid off in the high tech sector and now owns Sunny Acres Farm in Spencerville. “My original career goal was to be a vet, but life didn’t take me down that path.”
Pillon is one of 800 people who have used the Self-Employment Benefi t Pro-gram offered through the Grenville Com-munity Futures Development Corpora-tion.
The program, sponsored by the Min-istry of Training, Colleges and Univer-sities, helps people start their own busi-ness. The provincial government cut funding for the program, but recently re-instated it.
The program offers 42 weeks of train-ing, with the fi rst eight weeks of in-class training. While participants are in the program, they are also given $423 a week.
“The point of the compensation is not to essentially invest it in their busi-ness,” said Ben TeKamp, who has taught this program for 15 years. “It’s so, par-ticipants don’t have to take money out of
their business.”He said many of the people who take
part in the program are mature people from age 25 to 30 at the lowest to 55 to 60 at the highest. During the fi rst eight weeks, these potential business owners are taught how to prepare a business plan and marketing. Once TeKamp reviews the business idea, the participant will continue on to the rest of the program where they put their idea into action.
“The program in my opinion is its one
of the better programs - it provides in-stant results,” said TeKamp. “They learn the business plan. They actually have hands-on experience and they’re put in a situation where they must be ready to start a business after the eight weeks.”
TeKamp added that many of the partic-ipants who are in the program are former high tech workers who lost their jobs and it’s too early for them to retire.
He adds that many students, like Pil-lon, eventually have the career they’ve always wanted through the program.
“Burnout enters the picture as well,” said TeKamp. “One gentleman worked for 25 years in high tech, but was ready to move on start doing interior house paint-ing. He reached a point where he was burned out and to him, being a painter is much more gratifying than working in a high tech job.”
Pillon bought her Spencerville farm fi ve years ago in case she or her husband got laid off. Pillon is planning to take her business plan one step further – in ad-dition to having an interactive, hands-on petting zoo. She will also offer movie nights in a theatre she has set up in her garage and will also be converting her detached garage into a party room where people can host events and even serve as a meeting place for different organiza-tions.
“This is something I want to keep go-
ing,” said Pillon. “If I can keep it a suc-cess, I don’t want to go back to high tech. I prefer this lifestyle and I enjoy teaching the kids about the animals.”
After 15 years of the program, TeKamp said the success rate of businesses af-ter they’ve been through the program is about 70 per cent.
The other 30 per cent that aren’t suc-cessful are usually due to a spouse mov-ing, or the business owner getting offered a full-time job.
“Realization hits home that if business is not doing well, full time employment is not a bad thing to fall back on,” he said.
Most importantly, TeKamp said peo-ple’s attitudes often change once they’ve been through the program.
“When they fi rst come in, everyone’s a little grumpy and sad and feels someone in this world let them down,” he said. “But when they get over that psychologi-cal barrier, they fi nd out it’s not the end of the world. Then they fi nd a niche.”
As for Pillon, she said the program let her take the risk to start her own busi-ness.
“Being part of the SEB program means that I continue to collect my Unemploy-ment Insurance during the startup phase of my business,” said Pillon. “This gives me the security to know that there will be food on the table and that our expenses can be met.”

Kemptville resident Sara Landriault was recently prevented from applying for a job at Citizenship and Immigration Canada because of her race.
Now the federal government is getting involved since she couldn’t continue with her online application after she indicated that she was white.
“I felt like I’d been kicked in the stom-ach,” said Landriault. “I got up [that morning] and I was thinking that I need a job. Nine years of being at home - working evenings and weekends - is not enough to cover the bills.”
Gord Brown, Leeds-Grenville Member of Parliament, made a statement sup-porting Landriault.
“I support inclusion in the public service but not discrimination,” said Brown.
Treasury Board President Stockwell Day and Minister of Citizen, Immigra-tion and Multiculturalism Jason Kenny also responded to recent news reports.
They called to review the provisions of the Public Service Employment Act as well as any other related policies and practices to make sure all Canadians have an equal opportunity to apply for positions in the public service.
“While we support diversity in the public service, we want to ensure that no Canadian is barred from opportunities in the public service based on race or eth-nicity,” said Day.
Citizenship and Immigration Canada didn’t return phone calls from the Ad-vance.
On the other side of the country, Bran-don Stiles works for the First Nations Employment Society in Vancouver, Brit-ish Columbia.
In its mission statement, the society said it provides support and opportuni-ties to Aboriginal people and helps to in-crease employment through building and promoting self-reliance.
Stiles said while he understands the attempt to try and hire more Aboriginal and visible minorities in the public ser-vice, he personally doesn’t agree with
how Citizenship and Immigration Cana-da went about their hiring process.
“As a First Nations person myself, eq-uity types of opportunities are needed to give First Nations people more op-portunity to be able to participate in the workforce,” he said. “However I wouldn’t agree with a white person being excluded just because she’s white.”
He added that when his organization posts jobs on their website, they prefer that First Nations people apply.
However, Stiles said that if they inter-view someone who’s First Na-tions and they’re not qualifi ed, the organization will look out-side the community.
“Because of our history, a lot of our Aboriginal people don’t have the qualifi cations. It’s not to say there are no First Nations people qualifi ed, but it’s just harder to fi nd,” he said.
“If they’re really trying to bring more First Nations people into these jobs, then targeting [these groups] isn’t such a bad
idea. Everyone should have the opportu-nity to be interviewed.”
Landriault - who was originally born in England - was particularly drawn to Citizenship and Immigration Canada be-cause she just became a Canadian citizen last month.
“I’ve always been Canadian. I’ve been here since I was two,” she said. “I had experience in citizenship because I’ve al-ways been a landed immigrant. I’ve gone through the paperwork and I know what I’m doing. And then this happened.”

For the love of feral felinesI had a very lucky phone
call last week. A friend of ours, who is a veterinarian, was giving me some advice on my barn cat population. Halfway through the conver-sation, he offered to come out to the farm and perform surgery on as many as I can catch. At fi rst I thought I was hearing things. But rather than look the gift horse in the mouth (what a weird expression) and ask too many questions, I thanked him and hung up with the direction to collect as many cat carriers as possible in order to catch my mostly feral feline family. And I would study up on the Trap-Neuter-Release (TNR) process. I contacted Paul Lafl eur of the Village Kitten Rescue in North Gower, for advice on trapping the little beasties. He was extremely helpful, showing up within a couple of days with two dozen cat carriers.
Some readers may remember my com-ments one year ago, when I stated that I would not be spaying and neutering my barn cats. Our feline population was controlling itself at the time, I thought. That is no longer the case.
I trolled the Web for more info on luring and trapping. www.alleycat.org is full of sound advice and insight. The worst thing you can do for a feral cat, the site states, is to catch it and bring it to an animal shelter. First of all, it is not adoptable. Wild cats are not good house pet material. Wild kittens, on the other hand, have a chance of being tamed. The trick is to socialize them as soon as possible. Several of our barn cats now march right into the house – one even knows how to slide the screen door open to let himself in – because we have been handling them since they were tiny. Once given their shots, they will be quite good pets to some lucky Fisher farm visitor. But if we don’t do something about the adult feral felines, the overpopulation will only get worse. I’m already starting to resemble a crazy cat lady, as I shuffl e along to the barn with a dozen little crit-ters at my feet. The Trap-Neuter-Release method sounds like the solution to our problems. Of course, it has been sug-gested before by a few well-meaning yet highly critical people who must think I have all the money in the world. Perhaps
they thought I had one or two cats to fi x. But with the good doctor’s help, we will get this cat collection under control.
Catching and culling my cats, as some other farm-ers have suggested, is not a reasonable method of control-ling the population either, in case it has crossed your mind. I have a food supply here – ro-dents in my sheep feed. Cats
will always be here, and having to routinely put the “excess” kittens down is not something that I can allow in my environ-ment.
I have assembled the cat carriers. They are lined with newspaper. I am putting small amounts of food in the cages, to allow the cats to become comfortable inside the small spaces. On TNR day, I will put a tiny delicious pile of something – perhaps tuna? – inside each cage. Cat will go in, and I will then tuck his or her tail in and latch the door. Doc will come, needle the cat into a nice blue dream, my assistants (fi ve cat-lov-ing daughters) will carry the sleeping patients to the surgery deck (yet to be determined – the Farmer is thinking “not my kitchen island”) and the work will begin. Post-surgery, the cats will be gently placed back in their carriers until the drug wears off. They have trouble controlling their body temperature dur-ing this recovery phase (also learned that from alleycat.org), so they will remain in the house overnight. I expect we will awake the next day to quite a racket. And when we release the cats back to their homes in the hay bales, they will have quite a shared adventure to discuss.
During my inquiries regarding TNR, I also met someone named Gwen Thomp-son, who is running the Country Cat Rescue. She has her hands – and house – full of kittens that she lovingly cares for until someone adopts them. Unfortu-nately, since the recent tainted pet food catastrophe, her suppliers (Purina and Iams) are no longer sending her dona-tions. If any Farmwife readers out there know of a way- a corporate donation would be lovely – or a grant of some kind - to keep Gwen in kitty food, please give her a call: 613.258.2622 – www.coun-trycatrescue.com.
The kitties thank you.

The Dundas Cattlemen’s As-sociation has do-nated 700 pounds of meat to the House of Lazarus and to the Dun-das County Food Bank.Left to right are: Kim Merkly, the food bank’s coor-dinator, Pauline Pratt, Executive Director, Rose Stewart, presi-dent of the Dun-das County Food Bank and Dave Stewart an asso-ciation
House of Lazarus receives meaty donationJOSEPH MORIN
The House of Lazarus in Mountain is the recipi-ent of $1,000 worth of nu-tritious meat courtesy of the Dundas Cattlemen’s Association.
On Wednesday, July 21, Rose Stewart, the president of the Dundas Cattlemen’s Association dropped by the House of Lazarus in Mountain to offi cially mark the dona-tion occasion.
The beef was donated by the association, passed over to the Tommy Hen-derson Custom Meat in Chesterville and the result was 700 pounds of beef wrapped up in one pound packages. The associa-tion donated 350 pounds to the Dundas Food Bank and another 350 pounds
to the House of Lazarus “We will be trying to do this every year to help the food banks out,” said Stewart.
The Executive Director of the House of Lazarus, Pauline Pratt said, “They (Dundas Cattlemen’s As-sociation) have been do-nating the meat for the barbecue for our annual 7/14/ kilometer walk and run event each year.”
Pratt says the people who have to use the food bank are able to get good nutrition from the food there, but from time to time they are not able to get as much protein as they might need. The do-nation of meat will help to address that. “The beef will last approxi-mately two and a half to three months at our cur-rent rate of service,” said Pratt.

Sometimes good people in a bad situa-tion just need a break.
Glen Perrault and Karina Bauer along with daughter Leila have had a run of bad luck that no one wants to share.
The family of three lost their home in Kemptville to a fi re in 2008. In late Sep-tember of 2009 they suffered through a second house fi re. Both fi res were deter-mined to be accidental with no one to blame, but still Karina and Glen could not help but feel a bit intimidated by their run of bad luck.
These days, in 2010, the family has re-located and thanks to their community and the generosity of Colautti Construc-tion Ltd. and the construction company’s associated partners in the construction industry, they have been able to restore a living space in the area. This time they hope their run of bad luck has ended.
How Colautti Construction Ltd. and Karina and Glenn got together is an ex-ample of how those who need some help fi nd it from unlikely sources.
The North Grenville community had heard about the challenges that Karina, Glen and Leila were facing. Wendy Pettit lives in the Merrickville area and works at Colautti Construction Ltd.
She had heard about the two house fi res and wanted to fi nd a way to offer some help to the family.
She told the company’s vice president Dennis Colautti about the family and wondered if there was something they could do to help. Colautti’s is the kind of organization that promotes a giving cul-ture inside their own shop.
“Every Christmas I fi nd a few families who need some help,” said Dennis who en-courages his staff to take the money that
they would normally spend on Christmas parties and gifts to one another and spend it on a family in need.
“We are very much like a family here,” he added.
Colautti believes that an organization is only as good as the people in it and feels that a community works much the same way.
“After the house fi re, we spent about fi ve days at the Howard Johnston cour-tesy of the red cross and the Salvation Army,” remembers Karina.
She can remember that despite all of the help from the Red Cross and the com-munity their future was looking grim.” our lives were in disarray and to compli-cate matters Leila fell ill.
“We had no money. After the fi rst fi re our credit had suffered. The family would not give up. “We had been in this exact position before,” said Karina, “and we had made it.”
Needing some help in collecting build-ing materials to be used at their new lo-cation, Glen and Karina asked for help. “The fi rst stores I visited were the Home Depot and Reno Depot.”
Several Home Depot stores, the Bar-rhaven location, the Woodroffe and Base-line stores helped us out. Glen and Karina began working to fi x up the building.
“My husband and I were living in the machine shed which had no running wa-ter, no bathroom, no heat source, and no where to cook,” said Karina. Eventually the couple were about to get the inside of the garage framed, built two upper bedrooms, set up a kitchen with a fridge stove, sink, cabinets and running water.
All the while Leila had to stay at Kari-na’s mothers in Ottawa while the couple worked to turn the garage into a home.
It was at this time that the Canadian Tire Store in Kemptville called them up
and asked if they would like to meet with the folks from Colautti Construction Ltd. At that fi rst meeting they were given warm jackets by Colautti and the offer of a plan. Dennis and Wendy had a plan to get the work done and to send Glen, Karina and Leila to a bed and breakfast to wait while their home was completed.
Helping out someone is second nature to the staff at the construction company. They met with Glenn and Karina who by now had relocated to a piece of farmland and were living in an old garage. Their front door was actually the old garage door.
“They were living in the shell of the building,” said Dennis “It was really an old storage and machine shed.”
Wendy and Dennis had a frank talk with Karina and Glen about what they wanted to do. “They wanted to stay there,” said Dennis.
At the time of the meeting Glen had been digging, by hand, a hole in the back yard to put in a holding tank. That was where Dennis decided to start.
“We did not know how we could help them but knew we would fi nd a way,” said Dennis.
He said that giving all of the help to Glen and Karina that they needed, was the result of the combined efforts of many of the people who worked along with Colautti in the construction indus-try.
The fi rst step was to replace the garage door.
The next job was to provide the family with a workable septic system. “We knew an engineering fi rm who designed septic systems,” said Dennis.
There was also cooperation from the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority who issues the permits for septic tanks. “Colautti Construction ended up arrang-
ing for stone for the driveway, guard rails for a small bridge that approaches the property, a new front door, another extra door to be used as an exit. and new win-dows.
“They had an idea and we simply inter-preted that,’ remembers Dennis.
The entire job took around two and one half months. “We pretty well had people there every day,” said Dennis.
The staff at Colautti’s made sure that the project was as good as it could be. Proj-ect manager Gerry Podlesny kept things on track and the company partners Steve Weiss, Alistair Miller , Chris Jacobs and Dennis Colautti supported their staff all the way through the project. Karina says that there was help coming in from ev-erywhere. Home Depot helped out with a bathtub, sink, wood, plumbing and wir-ing material. The Canadian Tire Store in Kemptville raised $1,000 in donations and then matched that total for $2,000.
“I have to thank Claire Larabie of the Jump Start Foundation and Dan Hamel of the Canadian Red Cross,” said Karina, “as well as Kemptville’s Spin Cycle who washed all of the clothing I was able to salvage from the fi re and the Kemptville Fire Department and Chief Tim Bond, Stephanie Gilmer of the Salvation Army and Georgia Carpet Outlet Mill who gave us the carpeting we used in our upstairs bedroom and laminate fl ooring for he bathroom and entrance.”
Now that all of the work has been com-pleted Glen, Karina and Leila have a real home to live in. “Our home is a wonder-ful escape,” said Karina. “It is a safe ha-ven in a world where so many terrible things can happen. Truthfully, this place is everything and more than I could have imagined.”

At the Annual Canadian Association of Foodser-vice Professionals (CAFP) Conference in Saint John, New Brunswick, students of the Kemptville Campus Student Branch were win-ners!
They won the student branch of the year award and newsletter of the year award. S
tudent, Jane Pearl, was presented with the Leader-ship Award and the Gold Plate Award. The Don McPhie Bursary was also presented to Jane Pearl for being a well-rounded stu-dent, who demonstrates strong commitment to the Association.
This conference is held every year, in different cit-
ies across Canada, to bring Foodservice professionals together to learn new, in-novative ways to improve their businesses.
The students attended to share all the hard work they have done at their schools across the nation, all year long.
This is a perfect way to network, meet new peo-ple and connect with old friends.
They met with Chef Michael Smith, Canada’s best-known chef, who host-ed the Farmer’s Market Dinner.
He was also the keynote speaker on Friday after-noon of the conference which focused on Local Food, Local Producers and Local Chefs.
He is the winner of the James Beard Award for
Cooking Show Excellence and host of Chef at Home, Chef at Large and the Inn Chef on Food Network Canada and in 26 other countries.
Recently back from the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Chef Michael Smith can proudly say that he has fed the whole world right here in Can-ada.

During the 1940s, 50s and 60s, Osgoode Township fi lled with Dutch settlers.
This weekend, the Osgoode Township Historical Society and Museum honoured these settlers in Vernon with the 34th annual Pioneer Day and Strawberry So-cial.
“I’ve been living here all my life, and I didn’t realize there were so many Dutch settlers,” said Kim Sheldrick of the his-torical society.
This year’s pioneer day fea-tured Dutch music, crafts and traditions.
There were also heritage dis-plays, demonstrators and an-tique cars as well as fun games for children.
Also included in the festivi-ties was a barbecue and a Dutch
music group that performed throughout the day.
Sheldrick said new to the event this year were a couple local au-thors on site who have written books on the Dutch settlement.
“Two of our members are writ-ing books about the settlers,” she said.
Sheldrick added that this year’s pioneer day comes during the 65th anniversary of the libera-tion of Holland.
She said this year she hoped to get attendance up.
“We kind of hit a plateau after 34 years,” she said. “Some people new to Osgoode don’t know about the museum. Dutch settlement is a very important part of our his-tory.”
The Osgoode Township Histor-ical Society is located in Vernon, Ontario. Learn more about them by visiting their website www.magma.ca/~oths/

The City of Ottawa’s taxpayers will be on the hook to pay for statistics research as a result of changes to the federal cen-sus, said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson.
The federal government recently an-nounced it will scrap the mandatory long-form census, replacing it with a shorter voluntary one.
But municipalities can’t rely on the statistics provided in a voluntary census, said Wilkinson, forcing them to research information normally provided by Statis-tics Canada.
“It’s going to cost us money to do re-search we (now) get from the census,” said Wilkinson.
Ottawa city council passed a motion earlier this month asking the federal gov-ernment to reconsider its decision.
Municipalities can’t depend on statisti-cal information provided on a voluntary basis, said Wilkinson.
“Who’s going to fi ll it out?” asked Wilkinson. “There’s no way to ensure it’s valid.”
Wilkinson said certain statistical groups, such as new Canadians, will be under represented or ignored in the new census.
“You would not have valid data you could use,” said Wilkinson. “This is po-litical interference in something that should be absolutely arms length from government.”
Canadian municipalities depend on the census data to apply for federal and provincial funding, said Wilkinson.
Cities will have to spend money to col-lect data missing from the new census, she said.
“It’s research that’s used all the time by the planning department,” said Kanata South Coun. Peggy Feltmate. “Every mu-nicipality uses its information.”
John Moser, the city’s general manager of planning and growth management, said the census provides the city with a wealth of information “essential to the
city’s planning and delivery of a wide range of services.”
All census information dealing with income, commuting to work, labour force activity, housing costs, tenure, mobility, non-offi cial languages, education, immi-gration and ethnic origin comes from the long form, said Moser.
“The planning and growth manage-ment department uses these data . . . to project population, housing and employ-ment needs, for transportation, deter-mining development charges, and other planning initiatives,” he said.
“It is staff ’s opinion that the (volun-tary survey) will result in response bias, as some economic groups will be more likely to answer the survey than others,” said Moser. “This will skew the results and render the data unreliable.”
Moser said city staff will be unable to compare the data to information from the long form, which has been in place for 35 years.
“That affects our ability to understand economic and social changes both within the city and in relation to other parts of Canada.”
Moser said the city does not have the money to gather the needed statistics in-dependently and lacks the legislative au-thority to compel residents to provide the information.
Since Industry Minister Tony Clement announced the changes to the census in June, politicians, researchers, statisti-cians and politicians across the country have complained the voluntary census will produce unreliable data.
“We believe the changes will harm the integrity and quality of the Canadian statistical system,” said Ian McKinnon, chair of the National Statistics Council, a government-appointed group that ad-vises Statistics Canada, in a statement issued this week. “At the same time, the council recognizes that concerns about intrusiveness and confi dentiality should be addressed.”
The council said the voluntary census will compromise the value of statistical information provided to municipal gov-
ernments, businesses and social agen-cies, which is used to plan private and public budgets.
Last week Muni Sheikh, the head of Statistics Canada, resigned from the na-tional statistics agency in protest over the decision.
INTRUSIVETransport Minister John Baird said
suggesting the City of Ottawa will have to create their own statistics department to gather census information is “a tad alarmist.”
“If this is such a huge issue for the city I can’t believe the mayor hasn’t called me,” said Baird. “I think there’s a bit of political mischief making here.”
He declined to elaborate on the com-ment.
Baird said he met with several council-lors and the mayor this week during sev-eral different public functions and none of them mentioned the city’s problems with changes to the census.
“Which surprises me,” said Baird. “If this is such a huge issue, no one picked up the phone and called me.”
Baird said some municipal politicians are making political hay out of the issue.
“Their biggest priority is how I can (put) myself in the news this week,” said Baird.
The Ottawa West-Nepean MP said he has yet to hear complaints about remov-ing specifi c questions in the census.
“Let’s have a discussion based on facts,” said Baird. “If the city has concerns, let me hear them – which questions from the census do they question?
“There can be a legitimate difference of opinion,” said Baird. “I think as an MP we should always be listening.”
Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre said the only change to the census is that it is now voluntary.
“That’s because we believe it’s wrong to force people under threat of jail time to provide unnecessary personal informa-tion to the government,” said Poilievre.
Poilievre said people shouldn’t be
forced to provide unnecessary informa-tion such as the number of bedrooms in their homes and what time they go to work.
“There will be no additional cost to the City of Ottawa resulting from this change,” said Poilievre.
“We believe if we send a voluntary sur-vey to a third of all people, (it will pro-vide) more than enough of a sample size (with) helpful data.”
Great Britain and Germany will hold their last census next year, said Poilievre, and some countries such as Denmark haven’t used a census for decades.
The federal government will send the voluntary census to a larger number of households, said Poilievre and collect data from an equal number of people on a voluntary basis.
“I think all Canadians will do their best to make a contribution to the census,” said Poilievre.
Poilievre said companies, municipali-ties and hospitals already collect statis-tical data on a voluntary basis to serve their markets.
Carleton-Mississippi Mills MP Gordon O’Connor was unavailable for comment.
The National Statistics Council is sug-gesting a compromise to the federal gov-ernment.
The advisory group suggests maintain-ing the long-form mandatory census but removing the threat of jail time for those who fail to fi ll out census forms.
No statistics were immediately avail-able that indicate anyone has ever been jailed for refusing to complete a census form.
The group also recommends a review of the census questions to ensure each is necessary.
“The National Statistics Council be-lieves that these steps, taken together can respect the valid concerns voiced by Ca-nadians about privacy and intrusiveness, while ensuring that the vital information that currently fl ows from the long-form census can be maintained and continues to serve Canadians needs,” said McKin-non in a statement issued this week.

The Kemptville Kougars U 13 competitive soccer completed the Mississippi Invitational tourna-ment undefeated with a 1-0 shut-out victory over Smiths Falls on the new artifi cial turf fi eld at Beckwith Park July 18.
The Kougars reached the fi -nals playing a control and at-tack style of soccer which kept their opposition on their heels throughout the preliminary and elimination games.
Solid defense and goalkeeping was displayed in every game.
It wasn’t until the fourth game that Kemptville conceded their only goal of the tournament in the semi fi nal match against Kanata.
It was an excellent strike off a free kick that curved over the wall of defenders into the top corner of the net.
The central defense and full-backs were able to shut down opposition strikers and move the ball quickly to midfi elders in the counterattack and sup-ported the offense on every pos-session.
The midfi eld distributed the ball with authority and took ad-
vantage of overlapping opportu-nities to threaten and score sev-eral times.
Strikers worked hard to fi nd the defensive openings and shot with accuracy when opportuni-ties arose.
The Kougars worked hard throughout the tournament fi nishing with a record of 5-0 with 13 goals for and 1 against.
The coaches are extremely proud of the effort, skill and positive attitude displayed by every player.
Cameron Duff is the head coach of the team.

Canada’s Kim Farlinger of Ottawa, ON, made her fi rst trip to the Horse Show by the Bay Equestrian Festival in Traverse City, Michigan, a winning one, claiming top honours in the $30,000 Grand Prix of Traverse City on Sunday, July 18. Course designer Pierre Jolicoeur set a track that saw eight horses advance to the jump-off. Four were again able to leave all the rails in place, but none could get the job done faster than Farlinger and Cordoba, who raced through the tim-ers in 36.32 seconds. Scott Lenkart fi n-ished second with a time of 37.89 riding Un Prince, and also placed third with a time of 38.35 seconds aboard Impulsive. “Cordoba is a fast horse naturally, and he was in the game for sure,” said Farlinger, 25, of her victory. “I had to go pretty fast, but everything just came up nicely and I did not have to slow down anywhere.” Of the fi rst round, Farlinger noted, “Pierre built a good course, it was tech-nical and long enough with 13 numbered fences, including a triple and a double that was off a diffi cult bending line.” Cordoba is a 12-year-old bay Dutch Warm-blood gelding by Polydox that Farlinger imported as a six-year-old. Owned by Kim
Farlinger Stables, Cordoba placed second in the $60,000 Bonjour Quebec Grand Prix at CSI2* L’International Bromont, QC, in 2007, and was third in the $100,000 John Deere World Cup Grand Prix at CSI-W Tournament of Champions in Palgrave, ON, the fol-lowing year. In addi-tion to Cor-doba, Kim F a r l i n g e r Stables also owns Bay Street and the newly a c q u i r e d Caprice van de Brouw-e r s h o e v e . Both horses perfor med well in Tra-verse City with Bay Street win-ning a 1.30m class. The 11-year-old Han-noverian gelding by Escudo is just com-ing back to the top level after a hoof wall separation, and Farlinger hopes to show him in the $30,000 Grand Prix during the third and fi nal week of com-
petition in Traverse City. Caprice van de Brouwershoeve, a seven-year-old West-phalian mare by Corofi no II, also had a win in the 1.30m jumper competitions. “All of my horses jumped very well, and all three that I own won a class during
the opening week,” said F a r l i n g e r, who will compete all three weeks of the Horse Shows by the Bay Equestri-an Festival. “Everything in the barn was good; the horses were very fresh and jumping well. The horses are all on form.” F a r l i n g e r
arrived in Traverse City with nine horses in total, three of her own and six owned by clients. In fact, Farlinger started her fi rst day of competition with a win in the 1.3m jumper competition riding Acardia 3 for owner Emily Kinch. The horse was
purchased for Kinch, 17, of Barbados with future North American Junior and Young Riders’ Championships in mind. Kinch herself rode Acardia 3 to a third place fi nish in Saturday’s $5,000 NAL Low Junior/Amateur-Owner Classic. “It took 12 hours to get here, but we are used to driving and it was worth it,” complimented Farlinger. “The show is on Traverse Bay off Lake Michigan, and this is very much a summer va-cation town. There are lots of restau-rants and shopping right on the water.” Farlinger fi rst made a name for her-self in 2003 when she won the North American Young Riders’ Championship Junior Individual Gold Medal in 2003, the same year that she made her Grand Prix debut riding del Destino. In 2004, she fi nished a close second to Ian Millar in the Canadian Show Jumping Cham-pionships. While continuing to pursue her Grand Prix aspirations, Farlinger is also developing a reputation as a trainer of horses and riders at all levels, and is committed to the success of her students. Farlinger operates Kim Farlinger Sta-bles, a full service hunter/jumper train-ing facility, in Spencerville, located 40 minutes south of Ottawa and 30 minutes from Brockville.
