WINCHESTER — The moustache-growing exercise technically concluded at the end of November, but the Eastern Ontario Prostate Awareness Committee continues to accept donations for its fourth annual campaign.

Factory finding new use New NestlĂŠ owner in place Candice Vetter Record Staff CHESTERVILLE — The IDP Group has begun moving into the former NestlĂŠ plant and owner/partner Hamed Asl says the IDP Group headquarters should be set up and operating by April. General cleanup work on the site has already started. Asl said the group expects to spend $500,000 to $700,000 on the site in the following year to help bring the big warehouses and sections, which are in good condition, back into operational status. IDP Group plans to take over half the space (roughly 150,000 sq. ft.) and lease out the other 150,000 sq. ft. to other interested parties and businesses. Asl said rates are expected to be less than half of what similar space in Ottawa would cost. There will be sections available to lease for small, medium and large businesses. â€œOur plan is to turn the entire plant back to operational status, grow our businesses within the plant, and help other businesses set up and give them growth potential based on low and affordable overhead cost,â€? says Asl. “The site has great warehousing and logistics potential on top of being zoned industrial which is ideal for manufacturing and commercial

use. Our vision is to have a booming industrial centre going in the next five years, housing multiple businesses and operations.â€? One of the advantages for business tenants is the warehousing portion of IDP Group’s business. “With our warehousing space and equipment, we can offer complete asset management of inventory.â€? IDP has its own forklift, trucks, equipment, etc., that could be a boon to many businesses which

must maintain inventory (including for web-based sales) but don’t want to use their resources to invest in the costs of their own warehouses. IDP can take care of inventory receiving, withdrawing, shipping, management and insurance—leaving small businesses time to do what they need to—take care of sales. The vision Asl describes includes converting the plant’s former cafeteria building into a professional building in partnership with former potential

buyer, John and Sarah Meharg’s company, Armour Developments. Prospective tenants for the project are already lined up. One of the advantages of the plant is its location in the centre of Chesterville, near both Highway 401 and 417 and near Bank St. “We’re 15 minutes from the 401. We’re already attracting people from Ottawa, Brockville, Cornwall, Montreal.� He also envisions a future further off which takes advantage of the rail line and Continued on page 2

Factory Continued from the front existing siding for shipping. “The shipping could be half the cost of trucking, be more environmentally friendly and very efficient,� he says. They would be able to both distribute and receive from the location. The plans are ambitious but well underway and appear to be doable with the enthusiastic team. Asl, the Mehargs and other principals have extensive experience in similar enterprises, but Asl cautions, “We need the support of the Township of North Dundas and of the community.� One of the issues that had to be settled (and still has small points being negotiated) was an outstanding sewer bill to the

New owner at former NestlĂŠ site

Township, which was related to rainwater pooling on the 330,000 sq.-ft. roof, and due to piping which has been hard to trace in the 70year-old complex, flowing into the sewer lines. Many people in the community who are anxious to see the plant used productively again have expressed the opinion that the Township should be lenient regarding the bill— especially considering that there has been no use of water or sewer on the property which has sat empty for many years. However, Asl is optimistic and willing to work with the municipality on that issue and on several outstanding work orders. For example IDP fixed a manhole which was causing problems and which is in fact 270 feet away from the property and on what is

now Township-owned land. Asl said they had the equipment and the expense was about $2,600. An advantage he didn’t mention but which seems apparent is the ability to get the job done quickly. Some outstanding items are less important than getting the facility up, running and earning money—which Asl is keen to point out. The beautiful old brick house on the property needs a new roof, but IDP would prefer to leave that repair until they can do a major retrofit on the building, which is a low priority to them right now, but is part of the plan for the future. Both companies are also well known for contributing to the communities they join, including hosting events for the public and sponsoring local events. They also look forward

to lots of local hires. They have received 22 resumĂŠs (without asking for any) and are impressed by the calibre of candidates. They have so far hired eight full-time and part-time employees. With the number of new businesses expected to join the complex, there is also no doubt that some business owners will move to Chesterville, which Asl already plans. “I’m going to buy a house here,â€? he says. “This is a great community with a lot of assets and potential.â€? Currently the new owners are cleaning up the site and have been working with Hydro One on getting the complex electrical system up and running. Architects and engineers have been on site and there will be more work upcoming to make it movein ready for spring.

WINCHESTER — After more than four decades as proprietors of Durant’s Flowers, John and Marg VanBruinessen of Chesterville sold the enterprise last month to new owners Kelly Windle and her husband, Stefan Kohut. Although pruned to one Kelly Windle physical location in the transition — the Durant’s shop on St. Lawrence Street in Winchester — the business naturally still delivers to Chesterville. “Winchester has really welcomed us so far. It’s going to work really, really well,� said Windle, an experienced floral designer and two-year South Mountain resident. With more than 15 years in the flower business, Windle spent the last five of them working in an Ottawa greenhouse supplying a number of big retailers. Two of the same Durant’s staff continue to work with the new owner. “It was definitely time for us to sit back and slow down. We just couldn’t do it anymore,� said John VanBruinessen, 68, of the sale. “It was a good run for sure, a lot of long hours and nights,� said VanBruinessen, whose father and grandfather were florists in Holland. The VanBruinessens originally bought Durant’s from Grace Durant-Dale 44 years ago. They put the business up for sale a number of years ago before Windle came along with their first serious offer, he said, adding he wishes the new owners every success. The VanBruinessen home on Industrial Drive, which doubled as the former Durant’s Chesterville shop, remains for sale as a commercial property.

The Editor: My heart is heavy. I drove past a violent massacre on #43 just east of #31 - a very long hedgerow of once healthy trees lying dead beside their stumps. Don’t even attempt to try to convince me the murders were necessary to clean out a ditch. (I was told this and that it was at the expense of the taxpayers.) One hundred years ago in Southern Ontario, Edmund Zavitz noted that cutting down the trees resulted in the land drying up and blowing away – he planted trees to solve the problem. For his efforts, he is called the Father of Reforestation. Forty years ago in Africa, a woman, Wangari Maathai,

noted that cutting down the trees resulted in the land drying up and blowing away – she planted trees to solve the problem. For her efforts, she won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2004. Today, in Dundas County, I note that cutting down the trees will result in the land drying up and blowing away – I plant trees to help solve the problem. Last week, I marched on Parliament Hill to beg the world leaders to do something to stop climate change – like not cutting down trees. Last week in Dundas County, the county leaders decided to do something about climate change – they made it worse by cutting down trees. I can’t think of a humorous thing to say about it – sorry. Jo Saunders,

Gratitude from the Parade of Lights The Editor: On behalf of the North Dundas Parade of Lights Committee, I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who helped make this year’s event one of the best ones yet. It takes months to plan this event, but it takes you—both parade participants and spectators alike—to make it a success. First off, thanks to all the businesses and community organizations who participated in the Vendor and Trade Show and in the parade. Thanks to Hugh and Diane Fawcett for once again doing a great job of announcing the parade from the main corner. As always, we are grateful to the community organizations and businesses who offer dinners on parade day, the Legion for hosting its annual after party, and the North Dundas Night at the “Moovies” for hosting a back-to-back movie event following the parade. Thank you also to the volunteers who lend a hand on parade day. Whether you’re walking the parade route or organizing floats at the township building, your time and effort is appreciat-

ed. Of course, none of this would be possible without our sponsors, and for them we are truly thankful. We are always amazed at the effort and creativity that goes into the floats every year, and the committee will be announcing float contest winners next week. I am proud to serve on a committee of such dedicated and hardworking volunteers. Gina Welch and Martha Link-Horvath, thank you for helping to ensure this event ran so smoothly, and Aaron Dellah, for stepping in for Antonella Holmes this year. Of course, what’s a Santa Claus parade without the jolly old elf himself? Thank you, Santa, for taking time from your busy schedule to take part in our event. And last but not least, thank you to everyone who came out to enjoy the Vendor and Trade Fair and the Parade of Lights. This event would not be what it is without all of you, and for that, we as a committee thank you. We look forward to seeing all of you again next year. Merry Christmas! Sandy Burns, Treasurer, North Dundas Parade of Lights Committee

All Stars Christmas Benefit show a success for VETS The Editor: As the North Dundas Arts Council (NDAC) celebrates its third anniversary, Dec. 9, we wish to thank our dear Mayor Eric Duncan and our township residents who came out in force to the third annual Mayor’s All Stars Christmas Benefit Show. This year’s beneficiary was Guitars For VETS, Canada, a program by Veterans Emergency Transition Services (VETS) that provides veterans battling post traumatic stress disorder with free guitars and lessons. Founders Jim and Debbie Lowther spoke to the audience about VETS Canada’s work, and emotions were palpable when Jim held up the evening’s donations and said, “This could save another veteran’s life.” Those wishing to make donations to VETS Canada can visit VETScanada.org for details.

Reconnecting at McCloskey’s Carolyn Thompson Goddard Record Contributor For several years now, some of us gals who attended Chesterville Public and North Dundas High have been getting together a few times a year. One of us always hosted the Christmas get-together at her home and it was the one time that we all did our best to make it. This year Brenda flew the Chesterville coop and moved to be closer to her daughter and family. I guess because she knew how much we all enjoyed congregating at the Yuletide in her home that she took it upon herself to make sure we got together somewhere. That somewhere was the dining room at the newly renovated McCloskey’s Hotel in Chesterville and the date set to coincide with the Holiday Train’s historic stop in Finch. The plan was to enjoy a delicious turkey dinner with all the trimmings (at a very reasonable price) catered to by McCloskey’s, visit, travel to Finch and see the train, after which we would once again congregate in the dining room for some homemade soup. Entering the dining room where once the Chesterville Rotary Club held their dinner meetings, a decorated Christmas tree was in

one corner with our presents underneath, a beautifully set dining table and on the sideboard desserts that Dot, the creative cook in the group, had provided. One by one we arrived with the visiting, joking and fellowship only interrupted by the arrival of one of the best turkey dinners that I have ever tasted. It soon became apparent that the Holiday Train was off the schedule as we decided to continue visiting, eventually popping out to the bar area (brought back a few memories) to hear some live music and then the time to say goodbye. While hurried plans were made to get together this coming summer (and I secretly hope it is at McCloskey’s again) and promises to keep in touch, we said goodbye. I realized the importance of old friends getting together upon receiving a text from Mary Anne, a high school friend of mine, who resides in the Smiths Falls area and I had asked her to keep an eye open for a university chum from Smiths Falls, Bev Dorman. Mary Anne told me that she had read Bev’s obituary recently as she had passed after a battle with cancer. Bev, her roommate Pat and I had been good friends while at Carleton and right then I decided that enough time had passed and began looking for Pat. I found her relatively quickly, have made arrangements for a visit next week and look forward to catching up with this old friend. There is no time like the present to reconnect with those we care about.

CASTOR Country By Tom Van Dusen

Registry sell out Well, doesn’t that put a pre-Christmas damper on things! Instead of a bright red bow being attached to the front door and the keys turned over to a Russell community group, a “For Sale” sign has gone up on the old Registry Office beside the Post Office. The vacated registry is the village’s most important historic building. It’s an edifice that should remain in the public domain, preserved for posterity as a fine example of early Ontario brick architecture. But it appears that won’t be happening. Instead, the building offered at $245,000 will likely end up in private hands. In one of the most skillful political slights of hand ever witnessed around here, the registry emptied out about three years ago, suddenly relocated to the township hall in Embrun as part of a new Service Ontario Centre. The Embrun library was tossed to the curb to make way for the new paying tenant. Originally, plans called for the Service Centre to go into the registry where it stood in Russell. But political powers stepped in and cobbled together the new arrangement. After all, why would a provincial Liberal government want to give such a big present to a village that traditionally votes Conservative! The old registry has been collecting dust ever since, amid much speculation about what would eventually happen to it. One group of prominent Russellers led by Greg Rokosh and Connie Johnston, both recent recipients of Community Service Volunteer Awards, lobbied to see the beloved building converted to an arts and culture centre. They envisioned it as a home away from home for local artists – of which Rokosh is one – craftspeople, actors, singers and musicians, the equivalent of La maison des arts in Embrun. The centre could include an art gallery, small theatre for plays and shows, and work space for various creative groups. Rokosh, Johnston and their backers had hoped Russell Township Council would take over the registry under terms that require a senior level of government to give first option to acquire surplus property to another government or public board. That didn’t happen and now the registry is on the block. “I panicked a bit when I saw the For Sale sign,” said Councillor Cindy Saucier, confirming the township has no plans to take over Mayor Eric brought a festive feel to the evening as emcee, introducing gorgeous performances by soloist Benjamin Vreman, The Bolands, The Academy of Dance and Fitness, and the Winchester Open Mic Night Choir. Thanks to all of you who helped make this show happen, for donating your gifts, talents, time and services: Kent Raistrick and Family, Winchester Print and Stationery for the posters; The Barbeauian for designing our poster; the Dundas Youth Centre for the canteen; Mark Jorgensen, for handling donations at the door and daughter Amelia Jorgensen for welcoming guests with candy canes; Shane Freeman for doing sound and lighting; Cholly Boland for providing the sound system; Deputy Mayor Gerry Boyce for showing his support to everyone in the show; and the North Dundas “Moovie” Committee and NDAC for providing door prizes. Big hugs to you all for a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Ann Brady, Co-Chair, North Dundas Arts Council

the registry and that it hasn’t been protected with a heritage designation. “My biggest fear is that somebody might buy it and tear it down.” Suggesting continued use as office space, commercial realtor CBRE which seems to have listings everywhere, is offering the 2,459 square-ft. showpiece at the aforementioned $245,000. With historic brick homes in downtown Russell selling for well above $300,000, that price sounds like a heck of a deal for somebody. If I wasn’t caught up in other real estate adventures – some would say misadventures – I’d consider buying it myself and preserving it. But that shouldn’t happen. What should happen is something along the lines of what Rokosh and Johnston have promoted. The history of the building on the corner of Concession and Castor streets is a colourful one. It was constructed in 1874 using three layers of regionally famous Russell brick to serve all of Russell County, a project that cost $14,300 including a second building in Prescott County. At one point, there were three brick manufacturers in the township, turning out products used to make most of the older brick homes in the village and area landmarks such as the Ottawa Civic Hospital. The registry’s solid construction was tested in 1915 during the Great Russell Fire that levelled much of the village core. While the roof of the registry was destroyed as were the buildings around it, the interior remained intact thanks to the reinforced walls, as well as the steel doors and shutters. In his local history book From Swamp and Shanty, the late Wendell Stanley comments glowingly on the durability of the old registry office. He ought to know: In 1960, Wendell followed his father Melvin in the position of registrar until 1982. As an aside, my brother Mark bought Wendell’s house in the village and later purchased the Stanley farm in North Russell. Rokosh and Johnston always saw the registry closure as an opportunity rather than a calamity, a chance to put forward a use that would take advantage of its location and history. Unless a generous public benefactor steps forward, it seems that opportunity has now passed us by.

Helping high schoolers help Guatemala orphans

With the goal of learning about poverty in the developing world, a group of students at St. Thomas Aquinas (STA) Secondary School are headed to Central America for 10 days of hands-on charity work at a Guatemala City orphanage and adolescent centre, where they will help out and live in the same spartan conditions as the 350 children on the premises. The Chesterville Lions learned more about the endeavour Nov. 25 when they hosted three of five participating girls and their two teachers organizing the March ‘Poverty Exposure Trip’ at STA. Several other schools in the Catholic school board are taking part as well, for a total of 30 involved students from around the region. “Hopefully, they’re going to be change agents when they come back to school [after being in Guatemala], said teacher Helen Zurawski (photo right) of the local team. They’ve been collectively raising money to fund the journey, equivalent to $2,300 each, to which the local Lions have contributed $500. That donation “will make a difference in Guatemala, to enhance the orphanage,” said Zurawksi. Also shown in the photo, from left, teacher Tracey McShreffrey-Bertrand, students Justine Plummer, Annie MacKinnon and Emily Gosselin, along with Lions President Todd LaPlante and Treasurer Carl Robinson.

In the past, students and staff have brought in large sums of money. This year’s goal is to beat last year’s total of $7,200, by Dec. 15. The students are helping make the holiday for 36 families, or 123 recipients, a happy one.

Rockets make positve moves Jeff Moore Record Staff CHESTERVILLE — The North Dundas Rockets picked up two Winchester Hawks this past week signing Shawn Simms and Liam Morrow. They also picked up Jordan Ruby who was released by the Rockland Nationals and also resigned agitator Harry Wyss.

third period with a one-goal lead. The Rockets pulled their goalie but that didn’t turn out the way they planned as the Nationals were able to hit the empty cage. Nationals 5 Rockets 3 The North Dundas Rockets welcomed the Rockland Nationals to the Chesterville Arena on Sat., Dec. 5, in the NCJHL. The Rockets added three new players this past week as they welcomed Shawn Simms and Liam Morrow from the Winchester Hawks and acquired Jordan Ruby from the Rockland Nationals.

Ruby

Ruby, an Ottawa native, had one goal and one assist for the Nationals in 13 games. The Rockets were coming off a big win over the South Division’s second-place team. The Rockets also re-signed a crowd favourite, Harry Wyss, which should help the Rockets. The Nationals were coming off a win against the St. Isidore Eagles in their last outing and were sitting in second place in the North Division. The Nationals opened the scoring at 9:51 on the power play of the first period to take a 1-0 lead. The Rockets tied the game

Simms

when Justin Rutley scored as he sniped one to the back of the net at 13:13 from Brandon Mullin and Jordan Ruby. The Nationals retook the lead at 15:24 on another power play but the Rockets tied the game again as Mullin fired one home from Tyson Sherrer and Rutley. The teams took a two-all draw into the first intermission. After a scoreless second period, the Nationals found themselves on another power play heading into the third period and made the Rockets pay scoring just 40 seconds into the period. The Nationals scored again at 2:18 to take a 4-2 lead but the Rockets got one goal back at 9:06 when Justin Cyr scored from Harry Wyss to make it 43. The Rockets had some good scoring chances but couldn’t get the puck to the back of the net. With just under a minute they pulled their goalie in favour of an extra attacker but it backfired, as the Nationals were able to clear the defensive zone and send a player on a breakaway to the empty cage and he made no mistake delivering it to the back of the cage. Suffering the loss in the Rockets’ goal was Thomas

Hawks pick up three of four points in overtime Jeff Moore Record Staff WILLIAMSTOWN — The Winchester Hawks had two games this past weekend as they welcomed the Metcalfe Jets to the Joel Steele Community Centre on Friday night and travelled to Williamstown on Saturday night to take on the Char-Lan Rebels. Both Hawks’ games went to overtime and the Hawks came out with a win on Friday night and a loss on Saturday night. The Hawks lost a couple of locals as they signed with the North Dundas Rockets of the NCJHL. Rebels 4 Hawks 3 (OT) The Winchester Hawks travelled to the Williamstown Arena to take on the Char-Lan Rebels on Sat., Dec. 5, in the CCHL2. The Winchester Hawks were riding a high heading into the game after winning an overtime game the night before over the Metcalfe Jets. The Rebels have been playing some good hockey lately but were still in the cellar of the Martin Division with 15 points and trailed the Hawks by just four points. The Hawks opened the scoring at 3:57 of the first period when Raphael Lecours scored his second goal as a Hawk in just his second game, from J. D. Samson to take a 1-0 lead. The Hawks took the 1-0 lead into the first intermission. The Rebels tied the game at 4:19 of the second period but the Hawks got that one back just 15 seconds later when Andy Clarke scored from Franco Gagnon and John Kalivas to make it

2-1. The Rebels answered with two consecutive goals at 5:44 and with just 57 seconds remaining in the period. The Rebels took a 3-2 lead into the second intermission. The Hawks tied the game at 6:17 of the third period when Niko Roy scored from Gagnon. Neither team could score before the end of regulation so the game went to a three-on-three overtime period. This was the second time in two nights for the Hawks but this time the tables were turned as the Rebels scored the game winner at 2:26 of the overtime. The Hawks left with a single point but that was not what they were looking for. Suffering the loss in the Hawks’ goal was John Gilmer. Hawks 5 Jets 4 (OT) The Winchester Hawks welcomed the Metcalfe Jets to the Joel Steele Community Centre on Fri., Dec. 4, in the CCHL2. The Jets were 11 points up on the Hawks in the Martin Division and were looking strong lately. The Hawks have had a see-saw season thus far and have been very inconsistent. The Metcalfe Jets opened the scoring when Jordan Malette scored at 5:04 of the first period from Andrew Burke and Carter Malette to take a 1-0 lead. The Jets took a 2-0 lead when Zack Rheaume scored an unassisted goal at 8:24 but the Hawks cut their lead in half when J. D. Samson slapped one to the back of the net from Andy Clarke and Franco Gagnon at 8:43.

The Hawks tied the game at 16:08 when Andy Clarke continued his hot hand as he slipped one past the Jets’ keeper from Kyle Richardson and Niko Roy. The Jets retook the lead when Carter Malette scored from Eric Turner and Rheaume with just 1:10 in the opening frame. The Jets took the 3-2 lead into the first intermission. The Jets took a two-goal lead when Conor Rolland scored the only goal of the second period with 1:45 remaining in the middle frame from Jeremy Barrie and Nick Rowan. The Jets took a 4-2 lead into the sec-

ond intermission. The Hawks got to within a goal at 11:10 of the third period when Richardson scored a power-play goal from Diego Gagnon and newcomer John Kalivas. The Hawks tied the game when their newest player, Raphael Lecours, scored from Diego Gagnon and Kalivas. Neither team could score before the end of regulation so the game headed to overtime. In the extra frame, the teams went at it in a three-on-three scrimmage. The Jets had three good scoring chances but the Hawks’ goalie Brandon Lowry made some unbelievable saves and at 2:57 the Hawks’ Kris Johnson scored on his own rebound as he roofed it. The Hawks’ bench emptied and a sigh of relief from the coaching staff. Picking up the win in the Hawks’ goal was Lowry making 46 saves on 50 shots. Suffering the loss in goal for

Jeff Moore Record Staff WINCHESTER — The North Dundas Bantam B Rep Demons welcomed the Perth Lanark Wings to the Joel Steele Community Centre on Mon., Nov. 30, in the UCMHL. The Wings got on the board first at 7:31 of the first period to take a 1-0 lead. The Demons answered with a goal by Nolan Brown who scored at 7:59 from Kobey Young. The Demons took their first lead of the game at

8:31 when Nicholas Brugmans batted one home from Brown. The Wings tied the game with just 1:50 remaining in the opening frame as the teams took a two-all deadlock into the second period. The Demons retook the lead when Curtis Bell pounded one home from Owen Goulet and Brandon Lovely just 51 seconds into the second. The Wings evened the score again at 3:37 but the Demons restored their onegoal lead at 7:50 when

Goulet scored from Xavier Leclerc making it 4-3. The Demons took that one-goal lead into the third period. The Demons made it 5-3 when Brown scored his second of the game at 7:15 of the third period from Young. The Demons made it 63 at 10:12 when Leclerc scored an unassisted goal. The Wings got one back at 11:13 but it wasn’t enough as the Demons took the game 6-4. Picking up the win in the Demons’ goal was Toby Byrne.

Vikings win three of three despite injuries Jeff Moore Record Staff METCALFE — The Casselman Vikings had a busy week as they played three games in five nights. In their first game of the week, they travelled to Clarence Creek on Wednesday night to take on the Clarence Beavers. In their second game, they welcomed the Athens Aeros to the J. R. Brisson Complex on Thursday night, and in their final matchup, they travelled to Metcalfe to take on the Jets on Sunday afternoon. The Vikings went into this week without defenseman Nicholas Legault but also lost one of their top scorers, Maxime Choquette, and defenceman Evan Mantha in their first game against the Beavers. The Vikings blew the Beavers out but had a much tougher time in their following games versus the Aeros and the Jets. Vikings 5 Jets 2 The Casselman Vikings made the short trek to Metcalfe on Sun., Dec. 6, to

take on the Metcalfe Jets in the CCHL2. The Jets were coming off a 5-4 loss to the Winchester Hawks in their previous game and were sitting in their place behind the Ottawa West Golden Knights and the Vikings. The Vikings were 10 points up on the Jets and the Golden Knights and were looking to increase their lead at the top of the Martin Division. The Jets scored the first goal of the game at 13:39 of the first period as Carter Malette scored from Simon Martel and Conor Rolland. The Jets took the 1-0 lead into the first intermission. The Vikings tied the game when Mathieu Galipeau shot one from the point and it found its way to the back of the net just 54 seconds into the second period from Oliver Castleman and Carl Faucher. The Vikings took the lead for the first time as Sean David fired one home from Harrison Wood and Ethan Wensink at 12:52. The Vikings made it 3-1 when

Jeremie Lefebvre scored on the blocker side with just four seconds remaining in the middle frame from Brett Faber. The Vikings took the 3-1 lead into the second intermission. The Jets got to within one as Jordan Malette scored from Carter Malette and Andrew Burke at 13:49. The Vikings got some breathing room when Sebastien Plante scored at 15:17 to make it 4-2 from Castleman and Faucher. The Vikings closed out the scoring when Kyle Colette snapped one home from the top of the left circle at 16:59 from Faber. The Vikings took the game 5-2 and the two points. Picking up the win in the Vikings’ goal was Gianmarco De Meis making 36 saves on 38 shots. Suffering the loss in goal for the Jets was Kenneth Nichol making 37 saves on 42 shots. Vikings 3 Aeros 0 The Casselman Vikings welcomed the Athens Aeros to the J. R. Brisson Complex on Thurs., Dec. 3, in the

CCHL2. The Vikings went into the game in first place in both the Martin Division and the entire league. The Aeros went into the game with a little over a .500 record but are always tough to play. After a scoreless first period, the Vikings opened the scoring with just 59 seconds remaining in the second period as Jeremie Lefebvre from Sean David and Oliver Casselman scored to take a 10 lead. The Vikings took the 1-0 lead heading into the second intermission. The Vikings made it 2-0 at 3:09 of the third period when Brett Faber slid one home from Matt Clement and David. The Vikings closed out the scoring with just under two minutes remaining in regulation when Harrison Wood scored a power-play goal from Sebastien Plante and Carl Faucher. The Vikings took the game 3-0 and their goalie Gianmarco De Meis picked up the shutout making 24 saves. Up next The Casselman Vikings

Parks and Rec supports Sports Dome plan Candice Vetter Villager Staff EMBRUN—The sports dome proposed by the Russell Kin Club for the west end of Embrun has won the support of the Recreation Complex Committee who generally recommended the project to Russell Township Council. Council and members of the Recreation Complex committee heard a presentation from Kin Club members including local president Doug Anthony at a meeting on Thurs., Dec. 3. “My preoccupation was to ensure that a Sports Dome would not compete with a future recreation complex, but rather complement it,” said Councillor Amanda Simard, who is Parks and Recreation committee and Rec Complex committee chair. “The Kin Club provided us with more details on their proposal, which addressed that concern. I believe this is a great initiative that would benefit our community and hope we can reach an agreement to move forward with the project.” The club’s presentation included information about other successful domes. The club argues that sports domes can bring additional money into a community and would fill many needs. The proposal would be for a multi-use facility. The presentation also included a draft business plan. The club has started low-key fundraising in the community already, directing funds raised for some of their many events towards the project. The club was also the recipient of funds raised at the Russell Run last May. The project is estimated to cost between $2- and $2.5million. Preliminary discussions with the Township have ironed out some details and the location is on Townshipowned property. The club would raise the funds and erect the building, then Township would take over as owners of the facility once complete. The project timeline is two to three years, including fundraising. Council had earlier agreed in principle to the project in February. Club members are anxious to get started on the design and have stated in the past that they hope for participation from other organizations and from residents about the community’s needs in a facility of this type.

No charges yet in Castor River manure spill Candice Vetter Villager Staff KENMORE—The significant manure spill near Dalmeny at one of the sources of the Castor River has been cleaned up, says the Ontario Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, and the decision of whether or not to lay charges has not been made. “There has been no decision on charges,” Mike Heeringa, Issues/Project Coordinator at the Ottawa office. “Our focus has been on clean up and protecting the community and environment.” He later added, “The ministry is currently reviewing the incident to determine whether there will be charges. No decisions has been made at this time.” He suggested there may be an update in a few weeks. Heerina confirmed that the presence of dead fish in the Castor River is believed to be a direct result of the September manure spill. “The shortterm impacts to the water quality in the Castor River have since cleared up,” he said. Naomi Langlois-Anderson, senior Fish and Wildlife technician at South Nation Conservation, said, “In terms of effects, the immediate effects are that fish immediately downstream of the manure/contaminant will try to swim away but eventually they become engulfed by it and suffocate.” She quoted from a University of Michigan explanation of how manure

kills fish, “Naturally occurring aerobic bacteria act as waterway scavengers, constantly breaking down waste and organic matter in the water. But when a large and sudden amount of organic matter enters surface water, it can cause sharp increases in Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD). This means that when manure enters a pond, lake or stream, these scavenger bacteria multiply very rapidly to clean up the mess. Their need, or demand, for oxygen also increases rapidly, and suddenly the bacteria are competing with fish for oxygen. If the bacteria win, the result can be a quick and extensive fish kill.” Regarding long-term effects, Langlois-Anderson said, “The longterm effect is the impact the die-off has on the local fish populations. Larger fish tend to succumb to low oxygen conditions quicker than small fish because of their size, they need more oxygen than small fish. Some fish species are more sensitive than others, meaning that species like longnose dace, a cool water species, will likely have been impacted harder than say carp, for instance, who are generally very tolerant of low oxygen conditions. So if this particular manure spill caused most of the adult northern pike to dieoff, that means that several year classes will be missing, and that the breeding population has been depleted locally. Very likely, neighbouring northern pike who weren’t affected by

the manure spill will move into the depleted zones over time. As to the fish carcasses that floated downstream, some lucky turtles had a feast. But the decaying matter also contributed to higher BOD, so there’s definitely more of a downside to all of this.” The spill occurred in one of the Castor tributaries near a source, which is one of the few cool water streams suitable for spawning of pike and other cool water species. The amount of manure released (and potentially milkhouse wash water which is acidic) is not known, but it is possible it went on for some time, as the fish kill was seen far downstream in a slow running area. The name of the owner of the manure lagoons has not been released by MOECC. The spill was originally reported by an Environment Canada officer who happened to be checking water in Kenmore. When the MOECC was asked if there was an impact on wells near the river Heeringa said, “Cleanup has been completed and for these reasons impacts to private well users are unlikely. Long-term impacts to surface water are not evident.” He added that in general, homeowners are encouraged to ensure their wells are properly maintained and to routinely test well water for the presence of bacteria. The Eastern Ontario Health Unit can be contacted regarding well testing services.

Geese by the thousands

About 20,000 snow geese and about 40,000 Canada geese have been using the North Russell quarry lake as a migratory stopping place. Local birder Paul Schoening estimates around 60,000 snow geese and 90,000 Canada geese are currently in the general area. White-fronted geese have also been spotted, and recently a rare pink-footed goose has been observed near Casselman. The birds move between their favourite locations including the North Russell Quarry Lake and the Embrun lagoons. Birders have come from as far away as Toronto and Montreal to see the huge flocks of snow geese and to observe other waterfowl including several species of ducks. The photo above was taken in mid-November and numbers have increased since. Vetter photo

Taggart Miller responds Nelson Zandbergen Record Staff O T TAWA – H u b e r t Bourque, representative for Taggart Miller Environmental Services (TMES), the consortium proposing a landfill and waste recovery site near the Ottawa-Russell boundary, has responded by email to questions from The Record regarding the status of the application. When asked if the application was still active, he said, “Yes, we are still in the approval process.” Regarding the original proposed site, which is in North Russell at the former Hanson Brick quarry, he was asked if that site was now off the table in favour of pursuing approval for the alternative site at Boundary and Devine roads. His answer was, “Taggart Miller has stated that it has no intention of pursuing

approval for the Russell Township site.” Bourque said, “No decisions have been made yet on Taggart Miller’s plan for the property. Those plans could include the sale of the property. The timing of that decision will depend on market conditions.” When asked when TMES hoped to proceed he replied, “We are hopeful that the EA process will be completed some time in 2016.” EA refers to Environmental Assessment, which is a major portion of the Ministry of Environment approval process. The usual timeframe for approval for a landfill can be long. Asked if TMES is concerned or disappointed with the time spent waiting for approval on this project, Bourque answered, “The process is proceeding on the timeline we had generally anticipated.”

Local celebrity Jonathan Pitre, the Russell youth who has become internationally famous for his advocacy on behalf of epidermolysis bullosa, a rare skin disease, has been named as part of the Top 15 Moments in Canadian Sport for 2015. Pitre is also known as an Ottawa Senators’ superfan, and his surprise at being honoured at the NHL awards in Las Vegas earlier this year was listed as the Best Fan Moment in the top 15 list released in honour of the sixth annual RBC Sports Day in Canada, by CBC, ParticipACTION and True Sport. The list captures defining moments in Canadian sport for the last year.
