COUNCIL DENIES SOUTHGATE CHURCH'S REQUEST FOR OUTDOOR RINK GRANT SUPPORT PAULINA HREBACKA phrebacka@metroland.com

insideottawavalley.com

Every single seat in the North Grenville council chambers was filled at the June 11 committee of the whole meeting, as congregation members from Kemptville's Southgate Church came out to back their church's request of council to support them in applying for an Ontario

Trillium Foundation grant of $150,000.

The funds are sought by the church to build an NHL-scale outdoor rink which they've been working to build on the church property for years now.

Council did not approve the request, as staff said it would be premature to allocate such funds to any recreational facility in the municipality before the recre-

ational master plan is completed.

Director of parks, recreation and culture, Mark Guy, added that there are many outstanding initiatives in the municipality's Riverside Park plan, established in 2013, which should be completed before such a significant investment is made elsewhere.

Coun. John Barclay asked for clarification on

Council denied the church's request to support a $150,000 grant application. the name of the rink, which the church has proposed as the North Grenville Outdoor Rink. He asked why it shouldn't be named after the church, as the project is entirely funded by the church and the rink will be maintained by church volunteers.

Lead Pastor Ben Last said the rink is intended as a community rink for all to enjoy.

"If we wanted to build the rink, then that's something that the church could do, but it's a great opportunity for this municipality to work with volunteers and community groups and provide a great service to North Grenville," he said.

Mayor Nancy Peckford noted that before the threeway partnership was forged, the church was already effectively running a private rink open to the community.

Many residents voiced their concerns over the location of the prospective rink, stating that it should be in a more central and accessible location, such as Riverside Park, if it is to be a true community asset.

Former Mayor David Gordon previously claimed that the rink

Sami Kutowy of the Ontario Parenting Connection stressed that the rink should be located within walking distance of local schools and advocated for its installment in Riverside Park.

"I do have some other concerns about the relationship between state and church, and I feel that it would be prudent to keep them separated," she said.

Kutowy added that the partnership could give the impression of a preference over other local churches that do work in the commu-

nity.

Holly Brown, founder of Rainbow Union, Dundas and Grenville (RUDG) recently co-ordinated the municipality's first-ever Pride parade on June 1. She said the rink would not be safe or inclusive for members of the LGBTQ2+ community if it's located on the property of a Wesleyan Church.

"I propose it is not only unethical; but perhaps even unlawful to apply as a co-applicant with Southgate Church," she said.

She also proposed that the church would not be eligible, under the Trillium Foundation's anti-discrimination policy, to apply for the grant on their own as See CONCERN, page 4

Paulina Hrebacka/Torstar North Grenville council hears from municipal auditor Howard Allan as he delivers his report on the municipality's 2018 audit at the June 11 committee of the whole meeting.

not too long ago, in 2014, we were actually at 70 per cent, so we're moving in the right direction."

Mayor Nancy Peckford asked Allan what his advice would be for the municipality, given his understanding of the books over the years.

"I would really encourage us to make the longterm financial plan as part of our budget process," he said. "We really need a multi-year budget."

In an effort to respond to questions he's received from the public on the matter, McManaman asked why North Grenville's property tax rates are higher than Toronto's.

Allan explained that commercial and industrial properties pay higher taxes than residential properties, and so, Toronto benefits as they have a prominent commercial and industrial base, which serves to subsidize their residential taxes.

"We need, at some point in time, for the province to reconsider how they distribute taxes," he said. "In the long run, our property taxes are going to get ahead of us since we have a low commercial and industrial base."

The results of the 2018 municipal audit was overall good news for North Grenville.

At the June 11 committee of the whole meeting, municipal auditor Howard Allan presented his report, stating that 2018 was a year of transition for North Grenville with a brandnew council, treasurer, and director of finance.

Having processed municipal audits for North Grenville for many years, Allan said the financial management of the municipality has been steadily improving.

With a budget in excess of $40 million, North Grenville's statement of operations shows expenditures are over $20 million per year, which doesn't include transfers to the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville or school boards.

Despite the high expenditures, Allan said a surplus from operations of about $4 million was generated in 2018.

"Municipalities need surpluses to carry out their capital programs and to pay down debt," he explained.

The municipality's purchase of the Kemptville Campus in December of 2018, of about $7.7 million, reflected some big changes in the audit this year.

"We wanted to be sure, recognizing that this was an expensive item, that it didn't cost the taxpayers money," said Allan. "After all the revenues were collected and all expenses were paid, we actually ended up with a slight surplus of about $15,000 for the year, which will be put into a reserve for the college."

Though it's only a slight surplus, Deputy Mayor Jim McManaman pointed out that the $15,000 comes as a nice surprise, given that the municipality had projected a $30,000 loss.

Other big expenditures for North Grenville in 2018 were on capital projects, though not all of them were completed. Overall, the municipality's net debt was increased by $240,000, but at the end of the year, $3.5 million of debt is forgivable, thanks to a provincial forgivable loan toward the campus purchase.

Allan said the municipality's net debt, at about 30 per cent of operating expenses, is slightly high for the 20 per cent ideal, "but

the Wesleyan Christian denomination discriminates against gay people. Brown read statements from the website, www.wesleyan.org, which claim that sexual relationships between two people of the same sex are immoral and sinful.

"I'm advancing that the church's position on human rights issues - specifically the infringement on the ability to live your life without prejudice or discrimination on the LGBTQ2 community - disqualify them from applying to the Ontario Trillium

Foundation," said Brown.

RINK FUNDING Southgate Church, located on French Settlement Road, is currently undergoing a $4.5 million expansion. Their request of council came just one day prior to the grant application deadline.

The funding model for the rink, had the application been successful, would have seen a $50,000 donation from the Sens Foundation (contingent on the Trillium grant), which would have been matched by an unnamed corporate sponsor, along with $35,000 that was raised at a gala

held last fall at the church.

This makes a total cost of $285,000 for just the first phase of the build, out of three.

After requesting specifics on the rink's features, which includes a roof and refrigeration, Coun. Kristin Strackerjan suggested that the grand total project cost of $570,000 offers somewhat of a Cadillac model for the rink, and that perhaps a smaller design would be more attainable and not rely on Trillium funding to build.

"When you build it, build it so that you can use it to the maximum amount," replied project

co-chair, Randy Hopkins.

"Make it so that it can be used in a bigger way than just for hockey - recreational activities all year long."

When Coun. Doreen O'Sullivan asked why the church couldn't apply for the funding on their own, Last said it's because the municipality is leasing land from the church, and that their support is required as part of the application. He claimed that the church is eligible to apply, but not as the lead applicant.

Before council voted unanimously to deny the request, Peckford said the

complexity of the issue is due to competing proposals and the concern of whether the municipality can be a full partner with the church.

"I think this community's recreational needs, especially for inclusive, accessible, and free recreational services and infrastructure is growing," she said. "How we accommodate that is how I think we,

as a new council, is really struggling."

"We want to offer North Grenville the best of what we've got, and that is why we're taking this so seriously," she concluded.

Deputy Mayor Jim McManaman said he doesn't believe that the municipality has been successful in receiving a grant of the subject amount in the past, and that if they are, it would potentially take away from any other project on which they are embarking.

STORY BEHIND THE STORY

Reporter Paulina Hrebacka began following the development of Southgate Church's outdoor rink project when the church applied for the Canada 150 rink last summer and requested that the municipality assume responsibility for all donations, expenses, and the issuing of charitable receipts on behalf of the church for the rink.

The local Salvation Army food bank was topped up over the weekend with 1,400 pounds of food and $1,000 cash from donations collected at the 10th annual Father's Day Car Show and

Shine, hosted by the Highway 43 Car Club on June 16.

The event was held on the Kemptville Campus grounds for the first time, where organizer Rod Rafter says he's envisioned it since year one. Previously, the show was hosted at Riverside Park.

This year, nearly 800 cars were on display as well as 150 trucks. The event drew large crowds for the popular Burnout Contest, which featured 14 participating vehicles.

The Highway 43 Car Club raises funds for local food banks every year through their special events and regular car shows held at the Food Basics parking lot in Kemptville on Friday evenings through the summer.

At Christmas time, they present a cheque to each local food bank in the area.

KEMPTVILLE LIVE GRANTED MORE SPACE AS EVENT CONTINUES TO GROW PAULINA HREBACKA phrebacka@metroland.com Attendance for Kemptville Live Music Festival continues to grow year after year, as does its vendors, musical lineup, and pool of hardworking volunteers.

Numbers have jumped from 5,000 guests in 2015 to 12,000 in 2016; 17,000 in 2017 and 21,000 last year. Attendees spent nearly $2 million at last year's festival, with 32 per cent of guests being first-time visitors. Over its four years, Kemptville Live

has spent $400,000 in marketing.

This year, the popular festival is set for July 18-21 and the organizing committee is expecting roughly 25,000 patrons.

Member of the organizing committee, Karen Bedard, made a presentation to North Grenville council at the June 11 committee of the whole meeting to request that the festival increase its footprint on the Kemptville Campus grounds.

"If we want to sustain this festival in Kemptville, we do need a little bit more room," she said. "There's an area behind our main

event field, approximately an acre, that we would like to clear."

Bedard said the intent was to have the lands cleared for this year, but timing may not be on the committee's side. She's

hopeful that at least half of it can be cleared in time if approval is granted.

The lands will be used to provide extra camping space for the approximate 1,100 people to set up camp this year, who will be stay-

ing within the community from Wednesday, July 17 to Sunday, July 21.

She added that making more space usable would benefit the whole community, as it would offer more green space once it is cleaned up.

The municipality's chief administrative officer Brian CarrĂŠ recommended that council grant the extra lands.

"From my vantage point, I see it as an improvement for Kemptville Live Music Festival, but also for the community hub," he said.

CarrĂŠ added that the amount of money spent in the community over the four-day festival in addition to the numbers that Bedard provided is certainly something for council and staff to keep in mind when working in partnership with the festival.

Looking ahead, Bedard said Kemptville Live would like to remain on campus for at least the next five years.

POLICE SERVICES BOARD LAUNCHES COMMUNITY SURVEY The North Grenville Police Services Board (PSB) has launched the 2019 Community Survey to gather input from the public to help identify local priorities for the delivery of police services in the municipality.

The board is a five-member body that, in consultation with the Grenville OPP Detachment Commander, establish local objectives and priorities for the provision of police service in the municipality.

The board is responsible for monitoring the performance of the Detachment Commander, overseeing the contract for service be-

tween the municipality and the OPP, receiving monthly performance statistics of crime and prevention initiatives. It also participates in selection process for choosing the detachment commander.

The 2019 Community Survey will provide data to help the PSB fulfill these responsibilities and will also be used to provide community input to aid in the development of the Grenville Detachment's Local Action Plan.

Bruce Harrison, vice chair of the board, noted "This action plan is used to guide the delivery of police services in North Gren-

ville, so public input from residents of all ages is extremely important to ensure that police services meet local needs."

The survey is available through the municipal website at www.northgrenville.ca - just click the Online Services & Surveys button. Hard copies can be picked up from the North Grenville Municipal Office (258 County Road 44) and the North Grenville Public Library (1 Water St.). The survey will be available until July 12.

WE HAVE CLOSE CONNECTION TO RAPTORS WIN As basketball fans across the country watched the Toronto Raptors make history with the first NBA championship win by a Canadian team June 13, it was doubly sweet for our neck of the woods.

The sport experienced a boost in popularity and nowhere was it felt more than in Almonte, which boasts the birthplace of the inventor of basketball, James Naismith. Local, national and international media descended upon the town, who experienced more than their 15 minutes of fame, capitalizing on the chance to highlight one of their most famous sons.

The community celebrated in its own way with a series of four viewing parties where residents were invited to watch the finals on the big screen. It showed Canadians and the world just how much community and basketball pride Almonte has. What a great sight to see the Almonte Old Town Hall parking lot filled with fans armed with lawn chairs and youth shooting some hoops while the Naismith Basketball Association engaged with visitors about Naismith.

Kudos to the Municipality of Mississippi Mills, the volunteers and businesses involved in the organization of those parties.

Naismith Basketball Association's Kimberly O'Connell brought the idea for the viewing parties to the municipality and indicated the association is "just so ecstatic to see everyone as happy about basketball and proud of our hometown."

We assume everyone knows Canadian Naismith invented basketball in 1891, as anyone from around this area has either heard the story, visited the Dr. James Naismith Museum at the Mill of Kintail, or has participated in the Naismith association's 3-on-3 festival. But not everyone does. The Raptors playoff journey offered a great opportunity to tell that amazing story and shows just how proud Almonte is of the sport's inventor and the impact his contributions have had around the world.

If you haven't been to the Naismith museum, it's worth a trip. Not only will you get to learn interesting facts about the man, including how a game he played in his childhood, "Duck on a Rock," ended up as inspiration for inventing basketball, but the museum shares space with the Robert Tait McKenzie collection, another famous Almonte native, and the two were boyhood friends. Not to mention there's a chance to explore the beauty of the Mill of Kintail Conservation Area.

This spotlight on the sport is introducing new generations to the story of its history, which brings a new appreciation for Naismith, his humble beginnings and a love of the game. And that's just what Naismith would have wanted.

WILDLIFE MOVES IN TO THE FARM FROM MOOSE TO CHICKS, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL SEE, WRITES DIANA FISHER DIANA FISHER Column

"Don't let that dog near the shed. My chicks are in there."

Huh? "What chicks? You have chicks in the shed?"

The Farmer just looked at me and shook his head.

I attempted to defend my slacking as a farmwife: "I didn't know you had chicks. Of course, these days you could be keeping an elephant in the barn and

I wouldn't notice - I'm so busy during the week I don't have time to look around."

I commute to the city most weekdays, and lately my work-from-home day hasn't happened as I have been called into the office to cover holidays.

He could move an elephant in - or a moose could move himself in. The moose that was spotted in the area last fall is back again. At least, I suspect it's the same one, because he's back in the exact same neck of the woods. This time he came from Merrickville. Maybe he followed the creek when it got cold and found a place to spend the winter months.

In any case, he's back.

Last year when he was spotted nearby I stopped my car, walked over to the fence and addressed him as

he lay under the apple tree, slightly drunk from eating sweet, fermented windfall.

People had been driving out to Oxford Mills all day to take photos and video of him because seeing a moose around here is a bit of a novelty.

At the time I told him he should take care to stay away from vehicles and to steer clear from residential areas if he wanted to live in peace.

And if he wanted a safe, quiet place to spend the winter he was more than welcome to live on our 200 acres. He might not have taken me up on my offer of hospitality but he's spending time pretty close to our property now. He was spotted on Stone Road, which is just two farmer's fields away from the edge of our land.

Usually when I walk the

Rural Internet with unlimited data?

It makes for a rather sleepless night. The last time it happened I had to move Ferg down into his crate in the basement with the fan on for the remainder of the night so I could get some shut-eye.

He often hears things roaming in the night from his pouf-bed watch-post on the living room floor. I think it must spook him a bit, because he comes up stairs and sleeps on the floor outside our room, where I almost trip over him in the morning.

You may look around the farm now and think it's fairly abandoned of any animals, because our livestock is long gone. But the wildlife has taken advantage of the opportunity to roam the quiet corners of the barn and to build homes in the rock fence where they will no longer

You're never really alone on the farm. From spring to fall we have to be aware of this as we put the dog out for one last watering after dark. He might meet up with a porcupine or skunk and take it by surprise.

Luckily they are staying away for the most part, because I have the yard fairly well-lit and I think Fergus has marked his territory quite effectively.

Often at night we can hear the coyote pups learning to howl, in a canine choir. If they wake up our Fergus he will try to join in.

There are groundhogs eating the barn cat food - I caught one the other day and barn swallows divebomb my head whenever I enter the shed.

The Farmer has had to cover the arbour he is building for our eldest daughter's wedding with a tarp so that the birds don't mark it from their nest.

Yes, there is still plenty of life on this farm - it's just a bunch of different breeds and species now.

And apparently we now have new chicks under the heat lamps.

I will make a point of going out to ensure they have food and water, and I will turn their lamps off if summer finally decides to arrive.

DON'T PICK ON THE RRSP ACCOUNT, PICK ON THE ADVICE OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS THERE HAS BEEN A RISE IN PEOPLE FEELING LIKE RRSPS AREN'T THE GREAT RETIREMENT SAVINGS TOOL THEY CLAIM TO BE. WRITES DAREN GIVOQUE GIVOQUE Column

Registered retirement savings plans (RRSPs) are a tool that many people use in Canada to finance their retirement. Contributions that you make throughout your working career are income deductions on your taxes, which leads to a lower tax bill and may mean you receive a tax refund cheque after you file your taxes. Any investments or transactions made inside your RRSP are not subject to tax, however when you take money out of your account it is taxed as income.

In simple terms you can look at RRSPs as a giant tax

deferral tool.

At the age of 71 you must convert your RRSP into a registered retirement income fund (RRIF). It is at this point that people must start taking money out of the RRIF in minimum withdrawals, mandated by the government. Unfortunately, some people are reporting that they are being taxed at roughly 50 per cent on the dollar when they withdraw their money, causing them to feel like the RRSP they had been paying into their entire career is a tax trap, rather than a valuable tool to support retirement.

While this situation is unfortunate, it is the exception not the rule. Recent studies have shown that RRSPs are no worse than any other savings options if your tax rate in retirement is the same as it was when you were paying into the RRSP. For most people their tax rate actually decreases in retirement, so they end up paying less tax on their RRIF withdrawals than they would if they had used a different tool to save, which wouldn't have had the same tax deferral benefit as an RRSP. Regret over using an RRSP normally comes when they see a portion of their savings going to taxes, however it is important to remember the tax breaks you received when

you were paying into your RRSP. Many people are choosing to use tax free savings accounts (TFSAs) as they see it as a better way to save for retirement.

While withdrawals from a TFSA are not taxed as income, contributions are not tax deductible. This means that there are only tax savings if you will have a higher tax rate in retirement than you did in your working years. TFSAs are ideal retirement savings tools for low income Canadians as they won't trigger a clawback of the Guaranteed Income Supplement.

For others though, TFSA contributions may not be enough to build significant retirement savings as the limit you can contribute per year is $5,500.

The percentage of tax filers who make contributions to RRSPs has been on the decline for the past 15 years. Partially because of the economy but also because people are believing in the unfounded belief that they are a tax trap.

Don't believe the rumours.

For most people RRSPs are a great savings tool and making consistent contributions will help ensure your financial stability in retirement Daren Givoque is a CDFA and partner with O'Farrell Financial Services.

NEON NIGHT RETURNS TO FIGHT BACK AT CANCER SEPT. 21 Hearing the words, "you have cancer," can change everything. But it doesn't have to define who you are.

Because life is bigger than your diagnosis. Bigger than chemo. The surgeries. And the scars. Life is not about what you have. It's about what you do and who you're with. Because life doesn't

have to stop when you have cancer. The Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) believes that life is bigger than cancer.

Every day in the work done by CCS across the country, Canadians living with cancer see beyond their diagnosis and continue to live their lives with

love, joy and hope.

The Neon Night Fun Run in Kemptville showcases local love and hope by honouring the childhood cancer warriors who are currently going through treatment. The event has managed to raise more than $350,000 in the past five years including $102,000 last

year during its fifth anniversary. All that money is used to help fund childhood cancer research through the Canadian Cancer Society.

The event returns to Riverside Park on Saturday, Sept. 21 with the registration/pre-party kickoff at 5:30 p.m. followed by our opening ceremonies at 7 p.m. Last year, more than 1,100 people registered in the fun, non-competitive event, participating in either the 2K or 5K run.

One child with cancer is one too many. Every year, about 950 children under 15 are diagnosed with cancer in Canada. Neon Night is large contributor to Canada's best childhood cancer research. The event is an opportunity for our community to rally together to support childhood cancer research and celebrate childhood cancer warriors with an inspirational knighting ceremony.

Veronique Chiasson knows all about living with a diagnosis of childhood

cancer. Her daughter was diagnosed with a papillary (brain) tumour of the pineal region at age 10.

Chiasson said "most research is done on adult cancers, not childhood cancers.

However, research has shown that paediatric cancers do not react the same way as adult cancers do. We need more evidence of effectiveness of intervention that could potentially prevent later effects such as cognitive difficulties, growth hormone deficiency, reproductive system failure, etc. The research into childhood cancer through the Canadian Cancer Society is an investment in the future."

Her daughter is now 18years-old.

Progress continues to be made in childhood cancer research but it remains the No. 1 cause of disease-related deaths in children. Sign up for Neon Night and you can do your part to help.

Registration for Neon Night is now open at a preevent price of $40 adult, $10

for children aged 15 and younger. There is also a $90 family registration fee which covers two adults and up to three kids. By registering early, your T-shirt size is guaranteed. Event day registration is $50.

There are many ways to get involved. You can sign up at www.cancer.ca/neonnightkemptville, invite a friend to come with you and also join our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/ neonnightkemptville.

REDNECK RUMBLE KICKBOXING CIS AND TRANS, SATURATED AND UNSATURATED: WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN? COMPETITION JUNE 22 DON MERCER BREAKS DOWN THE DIFFERENT FATS DON MERCER Column

If all the bonds in the carbon chain of a fatty acid are single bonds, each carbon atom will have two hydrogen atoms on it. This is true for all except the last carbon atoms on the chain, but that's another story.

When looking at fatty acids with only single carboncarbon bonds, scientists say, the molecule is saturated with hydrogen atoms that take up all the remaining bonds. Hence the term "saturated fatty acids."

If there are any carboncarbon double bonds present, the molecule is not saturated with hydrogens.

This means that the fat molecule is "unsaturated."

When there is only one double bond in the carbon chain, the fat is "monounsaturated." With two or more carbon-carbon double bonds, the fat is said to be "polyunsaturated" (where "poly" means "many").

In my rather simplistic way of looking at things, unsaturated fats are healthier because they have sites on them that our digestive systems can attack to break them down.

With polyunsaturated fats, there are more places for opening-up the double bonds and digesting the fats. Saturated fats do not have these sites, so they are much more difficult for our bodies to digest.

Now, what about those pesky trans fats? The trans prefix indicates that this has to do with being across from something. "Across

from what?" is the real question. First of all, trans fats are unsaturated fats that contain at least one carbon-carbon double bond. The carbon atom on each end of the double bond will have a single hydrogen atom sticking off to the side. If these hydrogen atoms are on opposite sides of the carbon chain, then we have a trans fatty acid.

That's where the sense of being "across" comes into play.

When these two hydrogen atoms are on the same side of the fatty acid's carbon chain backbone, we have a cis fatty acid. For reasons that are too involved to explain in a short article such as this, trans fats are the bad guys when it comes to diseases of the coronary arteries. Fortunately for us, most naturally occurring fatty acids have the cis configuration.

It's usually when the fats are hydrogenated to modify their behaviour that the trans forms are produced.

The take-away message in all this is to minimize your intake of trans fats and avoid saturated fats.

Hopefully, you now have a bit more insight into what the terms actually mean that will help dispel some of the mystery concerning these important components of the foods we eat.

It seems like everywhere we turn, we're being bombarded with technical terms that are overused and under-explained. This is readily apparent when looking at various dietary guides and listening to health gurus when they talk about fats.

We hear that unsaturated fats are better for us than those that are saturated. However, we are cautioned to avoid trans fats the opposite of which are cis fats (pronounced "sis").

So, what does all this really mean? Unless you have a degree in chemistry or some related field, probably not a lot. In order to sort this all out, we need to get right down to the molecular level and look at the structures of fatty acids.

Long chains of carbon atoms form the backbone of fats, or more properly, fatty acids. These carbon atoms can be joined to each other by single bonds or double bonds. In total, carbon can have only four linkages or bonds with other atoms. A double bond counts as two of these. This means that each of the two carbons linked by the double bond will have one linkage to the next carbon atom in the chain and the remaining single bond will most likely be to a hydrogen atom. Carbons joined by single bonds will have two linkages along the carbon chain - one bond with each of its neighbours. The two remaining bonds on each carbon atom will be occupied by hydrogen atoms.

Submitted/Don Mercer These diagrams show the saturated and unsaturated forms of fatty acids, along with examples of their cis and trans fats.

PROVINCE INVESTS $71M TO EXPAND BROADBAND, CELL COVERAGE Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes MPP Steve Clark and Ontario's Minister of Infrastructure Monte McNaughton announced May 17 that the government is taking a giant step toward improving mobile broadband and eliminating cellular dead zones in eastern Ontario through a $71 million investment.

Clark and McNaughton were joined at the announcement by United Counties of Leeds and Grenville Warden Pat Sayeau and officials from the Eastern Ontario Regional Network (EORN).

They stressed the investment will make people safer and lead to greater economic growth in the re-

gion.

"Our government has committed to help people get the broadband and cellular connections they need. This is a matter of public safety and economic opportunity," said McNaughton.

About 10 per cent of rural eastern Ontario has no mobile broadband connection, leading to dropped calls, missed emergency services and a lack of opportunity.

"It is essential that proper infrastructure is in place to support public safety across the province, including Leeds-GrenvilleThousand Islands and Rideau Lakes where cellular coverage is often lacking," said Clark. "Our govern-

ment is taking action to improve connectivity so that people can feel confident and safe - at home and on the road. Being connected to the digital world is also a must-have for today's businesses and for our riding's ability to attract them."

"Improving connectivity is key to our region's economic growth and prosperity and the present lack of this connectivity is inhibiting the development and expansion of many of our local business operations," continued.

Warden Sayeau. "Thank you, Minister McNaughton and MPP Clark for recognizing what matters most: the fundamental need of improved reliable connectivity in Eastern Ontario and

for providing this provincial funding support to the EORN project, which the Eastern Ontario Wardens Caucus has been working on for the past five years."

McNaughton announced Ontario is committing $71 million to EORN's project to virtually eliminate coverage gaps in the region. The public-private initiative requires contributions from the federal government as well private sector and municipal partners.

The total value of the project is estimated at $213 million.

To date, the federal government has not committed to funding, noted McNaughton. Ontario is hopeful the federal government

will commit to funding its share of the project.

"Last week the federal Liberals said the people of Ontario's priorities were their priorities," said McNaughton. "Well, this is a huge priority in eastern Ontario. It's about public safety, economic growth and development and convenience. We are investing in people and building our province's future."

With the May 17 announced support for EORN, the provincial government is fulfilling a commitment to invest in cellular and broadband infrastructure.

"Our government made a commitment to invest in broadband and cellular expansion. Today I am happy

to say: promise made, promise kept," said Clark.

The EORN project involves all Eastern Ontario Wardens' Caucus members and 10 separate municipalities. The goal of the project is to bring cell coverage to 99 per cent of the region where people live, work and travel. Unpopulated areas, including forests, swamps and protected lands are not included in that goal. EORN has already completed a major project to build a high-capacity fibreoptic backbone network in eastern Ontario.

Division, which trains assistance dogs for individuals in the Ottawa area with mobility-related disabilities.

HERITAGE DESIGNATION WOULD PRESERVE D-DAY SITES

Call 1-800-263-6480 to plan your advertising campaign today!

Two weeks ago today our country staged an impressive ceremony in Normandy, France at the coastal location where 75 years earlier Canadian troops stormed ashore as part of the Second World War DDay invasion.

I got up early on June 6 to watch television coverage of the various events held to mark the special anniversary. D-Day veterans now average 95 years of age.

So it was undoubtedly the last time any of the soldiers who actually participated in 'Operation Overlord' (the code name for the Normandy landings) will take part in such observances.

June 6, 1944 marked the beginning of the end for Nazi Germany and Adolf Hitler's dream of world domination. It was also the biggest seaborne invasion in history. So, not an insignificant event!

In my column published in this newspaper on the actual anniversary date, I lamented the fact that polls show a majority of Canadians either don't know what D-Day was or can provide scant details of the Second World War battle. I think that's sad considering that 14,000 Canadian soldiers stormed ashore on that long ago morning and 359 died in the first day of fighting. During the two and a half months of the Normandy Campaign (June 6-Aug. 21) more than 5,000 Canadians were killed in action.

When my wife and I visited Normandy in 1995 there wasn't a lot to see at Juno Beach in Courseulles-

sur-Mer, France. There were some plaques, a Second World War-era tank and a few flags and banners flying.

Since our visit things have improved immensely with the advent of the Juno Beach Centre, a museum located immediately adjacent to the site of the Canadian landings on D-Day. Thanks to the work of private individuals who spearheaded the project funding was obtained, including contributions from both the Canadian and French governments, to develop a facility dedicated to Canada's considerable role during the Second World War and particularly on D-Day. The centre was inaugurated on June 6, 2003.

Still, I am very concerned by the general lack of knowledge about Canada's role in the wars of the 20th century. Polls continue to show a steady decline in this regard.

I don't blame teachers. I blame the current curriculum which doesn't place nearly enough emphasis on this important subject. Our teachers are more than capable of imparting this important history to their classes. And some go out of their way to do so.

However unless war history is made compulsory a large segment of our youth will avoid taking what many consider to be "boring history."

I feel that by detailing what happened during the world wars - the terrible

loss of life (both military and civilian) and the nearly incomprehensible tragedy of the Holocaust perpetrated by the Nazis during the Second World War - people in general should realize the folly of war and the horror of man's inhumanity to man.

Historians, including staff at the Juno Beach Centre, are lobbying hard to make sure that artifacts of the Battle of Normandy are retained and preserved. Included are remaining gun emplacements, bunkers and trench systems which were part of Hitler's muchvaunted "Atlantic Wall" the coastal defences the Allies successfully breached on June 6, 1944.

There is also a move afoot to have the Normandy invasion beaches and the remnants of the seaside battle designated a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Site. However that process has been delayed which is concerning.

I think it would be a terrible shame if the former invasion beaches and remaining remnants of this pivotal Second World War engagement don't receive the proposed heritage designation. I will be following the UNESCO process with great interest!

KNOW YOUR VEHICLE'S TOWING CAPACITY BEFORE USING HITCH BRIAN TURNER DISHES THE DIRT ON TRAILER HITCHES BRIAN TURNER Column

Trailer season is upon us and it's a great time to review a few things about hooking up your recreational or working trailer to your ride.

First, if you're new to trailer towing, or are hooking up to a new ride, things have changed drastically

in terms of vehicle towing capability.

Many models that used to have a minimum tow rating of 2,000 pounds are now prohibited from towing any type of trailer. Slapping a hitch on one of these is a good way to have a warranty claim denied. So before you start, peruse your owner's manual to see if your vehicle can tow.

Next, many small utility trailers now require a seven-pin wiring hook up instead of the traditional fourpin style. Seven-pin harnesses provide a power source for trailer brakes and reverse lights. And the days of just tying into the ve-

hicle's tail-lamp connectors to install a trailer harness are getting rare indeed.

Now many models use electronic circuit boards to control their lights and if you simply splice in a trailer harness you might find it won't work at all.

In some cases it can cause problems with the vehicle's electrics.

Source a credible supplier for your hitch and wiring needs and make sure your choices are compatible with your ride.

With some vehicles, even after installing the correct harness, you may have to have an authorized dealership's service de-

partment reconfigure the vehicle's computer(s) to get things lit up.

When picking out a vehicle for your trailer, don't push its towing limits. A good rule of thumb is to allow for a 20 per cent comfort factor.

This will ensure you never have to worry about exceeding the top end of the rating, and will give you room for a future trailer upgrade or to take on a surprise weighty acquisition during a road-trip.

Just because you don't put many miles on a trailer on an annual basis, is no reason to think it doesn't need any maintenance.

At the beginning of every season, take the time to inspect all lights and wiring for any corrosion or other failures.

Pop the lamp lenses off and remove the bulbs to look for evidence of corrosion.

Unless your trailer wheels ride on sealed hub/ bearing assemblies, they should be checked for lubrication, and tires and wheels should also get a careful once-over.

Remember you're responsible for securing everything in the trailer, so tiedown strapping and other cargo securing devices are not just an option, their

Admission to Riverside Park is free. You will find live bands playing for your pleasure all afternoon and into the evening. 100 Men

tummies full and happy.

Join us in the beer tent where KDCA volunteers are selling beer and coolers for the day, or relax in the

proper use is mandatory.

This becomes critical when you consider that many trailers have a much less advanced suspension system than the vehicles that tow them.

A bump that might just splash your Timmies double-double can easily dislodge what you're carrying on your trailer, including a boat.
