WILLIAMSBURG — In recognition of his volunteer work and commitment to agriculture, the Dundas Federation of Agriculture has nominated Gordon Garlough for the County Volunteer awards presented by the Ontario Federation of Agriculture. The award will be presented to Garlough at the Nelson LaPrade Centre in Chesterville on Wednesday, Jan. 4 at 8:00 p.m. at the DFA regular meeting.

Nelson Zandbergen Record Staff WINCHESTER — Ronald Paul Gaw was the first baby of 2012 born at Winchester District Memorial Hospital, entering the world at 11:12 a.m. on Jan. 1. The strapping boy’s arrival also preceded any birth recorded in Cornwall, according to nurses on staff at WDMH, likely making Ronald the true Baby New Year for all of SD&G. The firstborn child of Corey and Eric Gaw was a peaceful, rosy-cheeked bundle asleep in the arms of his 26-year-old mother, when The Record paid a visit to the Maternal/Child Unit at the hospital later that day. Her 9 lb., 7 oz. son felt “hot� as she cradled him, Corey, a sheet-metal worker, exclaimed with wonderment to her mother, Carolyn Dey of Morewood, who was beaming nearby at her first grandchild. “She was a trooper; a rock star,� Carolyn said of her daughter’s performance during the all-natural childbirth chosen by Corey. A pair of midwives from Gentle Beginnings Midwifery of Winchester, led by Genia Stephen, handled the delivery, according to Carolyn. “They were fabulous.� Eric, a 25-year-old farmer, had returned home to Heckston for some rest by this late point in the afternoon. He and his wife arrived at WDMH around 5 a.m. that morning, on the heels of New Year’s Eve. “So he didn’t sleep at all last night,� Corey said. Their baby represents the start of a fourth generation of the Gaw family at Stonepile Farms, a cashcropping operation.

Ronald is also the second generation in his family born at WDMH, on either side of his parentage; Eric and Corey were both born at the local institution. His mother said he was due on Dec. 22 but seemed content to

stay where he was for most of the holidays. “We missed Christmas, so we figured on New Year’s,� she quipped. Three more babies were also born later that day at WDMH, including a set of twins.

Nelson Zandbergen Record Staff WINCHESTER — North Dundas Mayor Eric Duncan strikes a satisfied tone when looking back at changes implemented in 2011, and takes an optimistic view of the year ahead. Reflecting on the completion of his first year as mayor, Duncan points to the new council’s quick work of the municipal budget as emblematic of the operational “modernizationâ€? and “big pictureâ€? planning approach he champions for township governance. “We got the budget done as early as we ever have this year. And now we’re under way to get the [2012] budget done by the end of January,â€? remarks the 24-year-old politician, who divides a relentless schedule between the mayor ’s desk in Winchester and the Cornwall and Ottawa offices of Guy Lauzon — where he works about 26 hours weekly as the local MP’s executive assistant. “From an operations point of view, I think that’s important for us because when it comes to capital budgets, and the things we’ve got to work on, we’re getting a head start. And it’s reaping benefits already‌. That’s a big picture item, and that’s something we can be proud of this year.â€? Continued on page 2

Duncan reflects Continued from the front Holding court with local media in the township boardroom, the mayor appears at ease and fit — he dropped nearly 50 pounds after adding “jogger” to his lengthy resumé in 2011 — and ever eager to delve into a discussion about township policy. On that score, he’s keen to highlight the “change in mentality and effectiveness, or the quality of customer service” within the township’s planning and building department. He acknowledges making an election issue of the department, and today commends its director, Calvin Pol, and chief building inspector Greg Trizisky for “really turning things around” with five key service improvements. Complaints have fallen “drastically,” the mayor asserts, crediting the pair with approaching the new council after the December 2010 inauguration to say they had gotten the voters’ message “loud and clear.” Trizisky has since held several open-house sessions with builders to receive input and to help explain the township’s enforcement of rules around the Ontario Building Code, an idea other townships in the area are now looking to emulate, according to the mayor. Such outreach plays into Duncan’s desire to foster a reputation for North Dundas as a place that’s “growth-friendly and open for business.” In that vein, he also touts the township’s 2011 hiring of its first economic development officer, Rob Hunter, who’s helping North Dundas place a renewed emphasis on residential development as a source of economic growth — already a strong suit in a township with 15 or 20 subdivisions currently on the go. The township’s population is “the number one question” of prospective new commercial and retail businesses looking at opening in North Dundas, the mayor says. “We know we need to grow the population at a sustainable pace. We’ve made an effort to go to developers and say, ‘Consider Winchester, we’ve got the hospital; consider South Mountain, [with] its new library, a quiet bedroom community; Hallville and it’s proximity to [Highway] 416 … “And going forward, I think, in 2012, you’re going to begin to see a big pickup in development for the municipality here. We’ve had a lot of prospective developers coming in here, and we’re going to see a lot

of announcements here next year, I think, on that.” He suggests the uptick is testament to the addition of Hunter to township staff, and his work in concert with Calvin Pol on the development file. “The benefits have been reaping already. The amount of investment we’re going to get from housing, jobs and new residents here, I think, is going to be very, very good. In the next five to 10 years, you’re going to see Winchester, Hallville, Harmony … really beginning to take off in terms of development,” says Duncan, who also cites the Thompson subdivision in Chesterville as a bright spot. Regarding the empty former Nestlé plant in Chesterville, Duncan remarks: “We’re always trying to work to get people in there and we’re actually starting to see the benefits, we’re seeing more people interested in this.” The new economic development officer has made two or three presentations to prospective occupants and has also fielded calls from local residents with suggestions or tips on companies that may be interested in the facility, he says. But he also tempers expectations by saying the attempt to find a group of tenants for the building a “fouror five-year evolution. And there are several other options for growth in Chesterville as well, so we’re also looking at those.” On township-owned infrastructure, Duncan also looks forward this year to “re-jigging” the roads plan to include a tar-andchipping schedule for the township’s remaining gravel roads. It was a campaign promise of the mayor’s to eventually cover all of the township’s gravel roads with tar-and-chip – a coarser type of pavement — with some of that work already taking place in 2011. He also envisions more planning for sidewalk upgrades in 2012 and beyond, citing “huge, huge improvements” undertaken in Chesterville and Winchester in 2011. The sidewalks on the west side of King Street in Chesterville are among those he hopes to see redone in 2012, complementing the new concrete on the other side of the street. He also foresees more planning for park development, including a January 2012 council decision to finalize the location of a playground in the Forestwood Heights

North Dundas Mayor Eric Duncan poses in front of a painting depicting an icy South Nation River at Chesterville, inside the township boardroom at Zandbergen photo Winchester, last month. subdivision — an idea that has vexed the township for years. When asked what might have “bugged” him most during his first full year as mayor — the questioner citing publicity surrounding the Upper Canada Rodeo’s acrimonious departure from the township — a smiling Duncan refuses to take the bait. “I prefer to temper that with a positive,” he replies. “I love every minute of this job. I still pinch myself that I’m in the position that I am, and fortunate to be able to do this job every day. There hasn’t been one minute in this job where I haven’t liked it or been frustrated by it.” One year into the role, he says from experience that being mayor is “a completely different ballgame” from that of councillor, the role he was elected to in the 2006-2010 term, at the age of 18. (And that stint immediately followed his time as “prime minister” of the other “North Dundas” – the local public high school — during his senior year.) As chief executive officer of the township, “I am exposed to 10 times more information and judgment calls,” he says, marvelling at the amount of work he witnesses being performed by staff at township headquarters, where he spends much of his time — including Saturdays — in the mayor’s office. “It’s nuts here,” he exclaims. “It’s busy every single day. I go from one room to the next and see the meetings … “ Being at the centre of the action at the municipal office has given Duncan “a newfound appreciation for the things that go on here,”

he says. And despite his youth, he’s always been treated with respect when working with senior staff members, he says. The same holds true of the new council, which he lauds for getting along very well together to produce efficient meetings and a “ very good year.” He adds, “… the confrontation is gone. There’s a real professionalism that council and staff have, and I think people do appreciate that.” Even where the mayor may differ with his council colleagues on an issue – such as the method of using a $4-million hydro fund to assist with village infrastructure – he professes a willingness to accept the majority’s opinion. “I will respect any decision that council makes on that,” Duncan says of the impending hydro-fund issue, adding he will view the matter as “a straight forward vote” with no need for any procedural “drama” around that vote.

WINTER TIRES

Lois Ann Baker Record Staff LONG SAULT — The past year, 2011, can be characterized as a “positive and productive� one, according to South Stormont Mayor Bryan McGillis. The township enjoyed a positive population growth rate of over 32 per cent, the highest in Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry. The new housing and building starts also continued in an upward trend with 81 new residential units, a $28.7-million construction value. The growth comes in part to South Stormont’s reputation as having the lowest tax rate in the region, according to McGillis. Based on an assessment of $155,000, a South Stormont resident paid approximately $1,953 in taxes, while the same valued home in Cornwall would have paid $2,731. The overall increase in taxes for 2011 was 0.3 per cent, well below the cost of living. Fifty-one percent of taxes go to the United Counties, the school boards receive 18 per cent, which leaves 31 per cent for South Stormont purposes. In addition to the low tax rates, the mayor is keen to highlight the many programs, projects and endeavours approved in 2011. Council was able to donate over $300,000 to local organizations including support of the

adjacent to the St. Andrew’s Fire Station. Fire and rescue purchases for South Stormont included health and safety items like bunker gear, selfcontained breathing appartuses and other necessary equipment. Newington’s Fire Station will also receive a new water tanker and a new plow truck was purchased for Transportation Services. “They’ve just received that and are very excited about it,� said McGillis. South Stormont completed the Superior Tanker Shuttle Program, an accreditation that provides direct savings for insurance premiums to individual homeowners. “We’ve placed signs so

There are very few people remaining who still need to be convinced that winter tires are incredible tools that are a help to drivers during the cold season. What’s left to do now is explain that there are different types of winter tires that apply in different conditions — which is why they are now called “winter tires� and not “snow tires�.

that taxpayers can realize that there’s some incentives out there that limits their insurance,� said McGillis. The Public Works Garage on Post Road also benefited from a new salt shed, a project that came in just under budget. The roads in South Stormont have also received upgrades thanks to the Federal Gas Tax funds. Spruce Street was reconstructed and other capital road construction projects for the year include the resurfacing of Cameron, Sandtown and Eligh Beckstead Roads; gravel upgrades to Groves, Richmond, McGillis and Willy Allen Roads; and Moulinette Island and Race Track Bridge with guardrail replacements/upgrades. “They’ve had a pretty busy year,� said McGillis, referring to the roads department. To improve gravel roads, council went with a three-year cycle for resurfacing. This amounted to an additional budget expense of $80,000. A technical road review and an updated Road Management Plan have been completed. This will assist council and staff in finding the most cost effective long-term maintenance and construction strategy. Another big project tackled by McGillis and his council colleagues was the Comprehensive Zoning By-

Law. This long-term project brought together all of the by-laws left behind after amalgamation under a better by-law system. “Previously Cornwall township and the former Osnabruck township had separate by-laws, and several years later the by-laws were never consolidated,� said the mayor. This caused problems for the planning department because when a call was received regarding a property, the appropriate by-law had to be assigned. Sometimes this meant what was legal on one side of the road was in violation of a by-law on the other side of the road. “With all the mapping and changes to zoning, it was an intense procedure,� said McGillis. Some anticipated projects for 2012 include asphalt resurfacing as per the 2011 Roads Need Study, reconstruction of Fairground Drive in Newington and Moulinette Island development. The extension of the Windermere Drive waterline is in the works allowing for the possibility of servicing other areas requiring municipal water. The St. Andrews West fire station is slated to undergo construction with potential for another recreational facility. “We are now in negotiations with the St. Lawrence Parks Commission to con-

tinue the partnership we have (with regards to Farran Park),� added McGillis. South Stormont currently leases the park and is responsible for the operations and upkeep. “All the money we get from that park we revert back into it,� asserted McGillis. “Township never incurred any profits from it.� McGillis said a lot of time and money has been put back into the park and is looking to continue the lease agreement. Pending the long-term agreement with the St. Lawrence Parks Commission, council is hoping to bring a sewer main to Farran Park. Other park considerations pending the agreement include front entrance gate at Farran Park complete with washroom and laundry facilities, a Hoople Creek Rest Area and a Long Sault Parkette. Council also hopes to begin a review of internal documents such as an overall five-year capital plan, a strategic plan and a community improvements plan. Continued support for economic development is still in the forefront, specifically for small businesses and local shopping plazas. “We will continue to lobby our MPP and MP along with provincial ministries to ensure they understand our local issues and the need for commitment for long-term funding,� concluded the mayor.

Making those big orders at Chesterville merchants by Carolyn Thompson Goddard Record Contributor Main Street and King Street in Chesterville were once home to a number of buildings with names such as the Kearns Block, the McMahon Block, the Baldry Block, Blacklock Block and the one that I refer to as the Fulton Block, where for many years the Fulton Brothers ran a grocery store. We called it a grocery store, but it had more than just groceries as there was a hardware section, a toy section and as time went on an electronics area. I can remember the layout quite easily, recalling the location of the check out counters, the canned goods, fresh fruits and vegetables as well as the meat section. We would often see either one or both of the Fulton couples in the store, ready to assist either their employees or customers as best they could. While Mother often shopped at Casselman`s Red & White Store, or Laflamme Grocery, when she had a big

The Road Home order she would invariably go to Fulton’s. There were probably a number of reasons for this including the home delivery and the excellent customer service, but I am sure that one of the deciding factors was the ability to collect Gold Bond Stamps on purchases made at this store. I am not sure how the number of stamps per purchase was calculated, but I can remember quite well, the long strip of stamps and the accompanying stamp book that Mom would receive as she completed her shopping. I suspect that it was about once every six months a new catalogue would come out that would illustrate all the different items that could be obtained for a specified number of filled books. Mom and I would look over the different pages, decide what we would like to order and then (often just before the book expired) place

the order at the store. A few weeks later our free items would arrive and it would be just like Christmas. One time Mom ordered a set of bedroom lamps for her and Dad’s room, while another time my relentless pleading paid off when I received (for Christmas) the bride doll that I had coveted in the latest catalogue. It hung in the living room of our house on King Street for almost 15 years until I packed it up when we moved after Dad’s retirement from Nestlé. Awhile ago, going through one of my youthful treasure boxes, I came across a small pair of oriental style slippers that my brother Mike had brought back from his trip to New York City made in the early 1960s, won as a direct result of our grocery shopping at Fulton Bros. Apparently at that time, IGA had had a promotion of some sort where the person who purchased the largest

Some will never learn

The year that was in Ottawa

Why aren’t people getting it? Year after year our local Ontario Provincial Police set up R.I.D.E. (Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere) programs and every year there are still people out there who knowingly get into their vehicles and drive while impaired. The results for the Eastern Ontario Festive R.I.D.E. program are out and the number of motorists that either were charged with impaired driving or refusing to take a breathalyzer are more than double that of the same time last year. In 2010, police laid 51 charges, and in 2011 that number rose dramatically to 103. The total number of motorists stopped during the program is not known, but the fact that the number rose so much is pretty sobering. In addition to the impaired charges, 81 motorists fell within the “warning” range of the roadside tests. For a smart society, we sure can do some dumb things. It isn’t that we are worried about an impaired driver hurting themselves so much as he/she is endangering the lives of innocent men, women and children who share the roadways with these selfish drivers. It seems all the warnings on television and the radio reminding us of consequences fall on deaf ears. The producers of those commercials even try to get creative and tell you of all the things you can receive like free accommodation and wrist jewellery. But for some reason, even taking a light-hearted look at the issue doesn’t seem to get through. What more can police do? Some think the consequences should be stiffer fines and more jail time. Whatever the solution is, it makes you think that perhaps travelling over the holidays is akin to dodging bullets or land mines in an effort to arrive safe and alive at your destination.

The Editor: It is traditional at this time of year to look back at the past 12 months and review the highs and the lows that occurred during the preceding 365 days. From my perspective it has been a very exciting and productive year but, it also included some sadness. It was an exciting year because on May 2nd Canadians elected a strong, stable, national, majority Conservative Government. A sad aspect of the year is that we lost Jack Layton, the leader of Her Majesty’s Official Opposition and a very dedicated parliamentarian. After governing with a minority government for five

years it was very humbling to be given a strong, stable majority by the Canadian electorate. In the months leading up to the election, pollsters and pundits alike were predicting our Conservative government would have difficulty holding on to the 143 seats we held when the election was called. Others were convinced we would be held to minority status and the opposition parties would actually form a coalition government. Much to everyone’s surprise we won 166 seats. The low point of the past 12 months was the untimely death of Jack Layton. After courageously leading the NDP to Official Opposition

1982 January 6, 1982 BERWICK - Finch township’s four road employees have expressed the desire to form a union, township council was notified by the Labour Relations board at last Monday night’s meeting here. Reeve Ralph MacKenzie said the township will not oppose the employees at a hearing set for January 15 in Toronto. He said the workers intend to ally themselves with the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE). At this point, said Mr. MacKenzie, all negotiations have been suspended pending the outcome of the hearing.

amount of groceries during a specified period of time won a free trip to New York City, with one prize per store awarded. It seems that in Chesterville there were two trips awarded, with Mike being one of the lucky travellers. During a birthday visit with my brother recently, the subject of my little slippers and his trip to NYC came up. It seems that Mom and Dad scraped together $15 to send with him for spending money. In addition to his expenses during his trip, he managed to bring home a gift for all six of us as well as Mom and Dad. We were able to recollect some of the trip gifts that he brought home which included my slippers, a model of the Statue of Liberty for my brother Doug and a set of salt and pepper shakers for Mom. I am not sure where Mom’s salt and pepper shakers are, or if Doug still has the Statue of Liberty model, but I know that my little slippers from Chinatown in NYC are safely tucked away amongst other articles from my youth which help me remember the good times we had growing up in Chesterville.

After a 3 week spring session and the summer recess we returned to the House of Commons last September intent to deliver on the campaign promises we made during the election campaign. And we delivered on a good number of them. Our government finally passed our budget after introducing it in February and fighting an election campaign on it. We enacted our omnibus crime bill ensuring violent and serious sexual crimes will be appropriately punished. We enacted the Fair

You’re going to find credit cards harder to get and you’re going to see fewer “do anything anywhere” cards around, says the Financial Post. In the heyday of the credit card binge, some firms sent out unsolicited cards to mailing lists. Many of them got badly burned financially. Some consumers just wouldn’t use the cards. Others used them, and wouldn’t pay up. Result: many smaller credit card firms are now out of business, and others have pulled in their horns.

We got rid of the Canadian Wheat Board, something Western Canadian farmers have been trying to do for the past 40 years. Further, we introduced legislation to scrap the ineffective and wasteful long gun registry.

ed: “The character of the instruction observed was of a satisfactory standard. Pupils in the classes showed a keen interest in the topics being taught and have done very good work in keeping neat note-book records.” Since forecasts are interesting, even though we may expect errors in them, we are reproducing the remarks of a veteran newspaperman made at Ottawa last week. In the year 1942, he predicted, the vast majority of Canadians are going to feel wartime conditions for the first time. Effect of all the Government regulations directed toward a drastic cut in private spending will likely come into full bloom by June. By that time few will be able to purchase a new motor car, and the private motor car used for private purposes will be spending more time in the garage than on the highway. Gasoline rationing will have become a reality. By that time literally hundreds of articles of merchandise that can be purchased in our stores now, will be unavailable.

The Chesterville Record Page 5

South Dundas mayor weighs the positives and negatives of 2011 Lois Ann Baker Record Staff WILLIAMSBURG — The past year has certainly seen its challenges for South Dundas. But it has also seen some great accomplishments. “Biggest news item that was and continues to be is the refurbishing of the old high school and getting that set up,” said Steven Byvelds, mayor of South Dundas. This project to turn the old Morrisburg high school into a clinic and the municipal offices has been a long time coming. “We’ve done our research and we’ve seen what can happen, hopefully sometime in 2012 the project should come to fruition,” said Byvelds. The mayor also said he has heard a lot of good comments about the project from the public and that council is looking forward to getting it finished. It isn’t all good news, though. There is also concern for the future of Williamsburg. But Byvelds defends the decision to move the municipal headquarters for a variety of reasons. In theory, the current offices were supposed to be temporary. In 1998, with the amalgamation of the predecessor municipalities, Morrisburg was the recommended site for the offices; however, there wasn’t a suitable structure at the time to accommodate them. And now, they have outgrown the Williamsburg office space. From a municipal point of view it will be good, but from a Williamsburg point of view, it’s another sore departure from the hamlet. “That is a challenge and I think that’s something that we need to look at as a municipality and work with the community group that is in Williamsburg and see what we can do for Williamsburg,” said Byvelds. Rebuilding in Dunbar One other check on the plus side for this council is the decision to rebuild the Dunbar Rec Centre that was destroyed recently by fire. “Dunbar is fairly close to Chesterville and we could have had the attitude that they can go to Chesterville and do something there,” said Byvelds, “But no, they are still part of South Dundas and we tried to incorporate them.” Byvelds sees 2012 as being a challenging time for budget deliberations. “Economically when things change in the world, and people’s investments are going down, there is less opportunity to make money and jobs are tight,” said Byvelds. “We have to recognize that and make sure that we work within those parameters. Last year our tax increase was a little higher than inflation, but most of that money was reinvested in the community.” Byvelds said he wasn’t aware of any backlash about how the township’s money was handled last year, but feels that going forward they have to stay within the parameters that the community feels comfortable with. “We are not unique,” said Byvelds, “Every municipality has these challenges.” “I don’t see us over-spending but we still

have to keep in mind that we have to do what we need to do so that we don’t get behind,” he added. The old high school project will more than likely be financed, so council must consider where that fits in the property-tax scheme. Fiscally speaking Another big challenge facing South Dundas council is that though they have a very good road system, some of the older paved roads are starting to need a major rebuild. Council is faced with having to find ideas on how to do this and what will be left behind. The caveat to that, however, is any road left behind becomes a major expense in the future. Luckily, Byvelds finds that South Dundas is in a fairly healthy fiscal position. One of the things that this council has done this year is to streamline how donations are distributed amongst special interest groups. In the past, the groups needing funds just had to put a request before council and council would decide what to give them. Under Byvelds’ initiative, groups now have to provide more information and become more accountable for the funds that get distributed. Byvelds wants to know what they are going to do with the money, what they did last year, and how is this going to benefit South Dundas. “We’d like to see that it provides accountability,” said Byvelds. This is really the first year that the new request for funds takes place, so he is expecting a few hiccups. He also expects council to be flexible when dealing with groups that aren’t quite aware of the new rules. A heated issue around election time has also been solved this past year: The Iroquois Golf Course settlement. Council had to try to find a partner that would do what they wanted which was to have no more tax dollars go into it. “In the end we got there and I think we were as open as we could be.” Byvelds feels the people running the golf course have done a fairly good job and the community has seen council is not putting any more money into it. Boil-water upshot The nightmare on Byvelds year-end checklist has to be the boil water advisory that happened this past summer. “It’s always a shock when you hear of it,”

appearance in Cornwall court, while he is scheduled to appear on Jan. 31.

SOUTH STORMONT — A South Stormont home is missing a truck and an ATV. SD&G OPP reports that sometime between Dec. 27 and Dec. 28, a 1996 Dodge pick-up truck and a 2007 Yamaha ATV were removed from a residence on County Road 18. The investigation is ongoing.

Sex assault

Two charged INGLESIDE — A call to a Dickinson Drive residence in Ingleside has resulted in charges against two individuals in the wake of a domestic dispute. SD&G OPP charged an 18-year-old female with assault, assaulting police officer, breach of probation and forcible confinement. Her 23-year-old boyfriend was charged with assault. She was held pending an

MORRISBURG — Tempers flared over the New Year's weekend in Morrisburg, as SD&G OPP officers responded to a pair of domestic incidents. A 31-year-old female was arrested and charged with assault and mischief under $5,000 when police arrived at the Annette Street address. She is scheduled to appear in Cornwall court on Jan. 17. And on Carraway Crescent, police arrested a 45-yearold male on numerous charges including assault, sexual interference of a person under 16, invitation to sexual touching under 16, failure to comply with undertaking or recognizance and sexual assault. He was held in custody pending an appearance in Cornwall court.

said Byvelds, who was notified of the advisory while out on his tractor. “In the end there was no problem. There was no major issue there, but a contaminated sample.” Much to council’s relief. The issue that arose from there was where do they go from here. “It was a lesson learned by the seat of our pants,” said Byvelds. “We asked what we needed to do and we did it.” After working extensively on it, the new protocol for boil water advisory was brought to council and approved at last council meeting, but challenges still remain, such as how to budget for this. The multi-million-dollar upgrade to the Iroquois wastewater treatment plant has been approved this past year. Once that is completed, an estimated 90-week project, Iroquois will have an up-to-date wastewater system that is not only going to benefit the community, but should serve to draw more people to the area. “A big positive is that the Iroquois plant is being 100 per cent funded not only to build a new plant, but to do additional work. That is good news for the village,” he said. Thoughts on having opposition MPP Mayor Byvelds also commented on having the new MPP of SD&SG Jim McDonell on the floor opposite the government at Queen’s Park. “I know Jim well. I’ve worked with him on counties council and various other committees,” said Byvelds. “He’ll have his work cut out for him to try to get funding to our area. It won’t be as easy as when Jim Brownell was in office.” But, still, Byvelds is confident that McDonell will do what he can for this area. Time as warden Byvelds also just came off his one-year term as Warden for the United Counties. Pulling double duty as mayor and warden did have its challenges in 2011. “I managed my time the best I could. I

took the position from a more political point of view as opposed to ceremonial. I did my best to attend what I could,” said Byvelds, though he admitted it was impossible to attend every event he was invited to. “Looking at issues, I always believed that when you went to counties council, you had to look at what is best for the counties, not necessarily what is best for South Dundas,” he said. “You have to separate what is best for everyone. When I am in South Dundas, I’m thinking what’s best for South Dundas.” Though he did concede that if something came to counties council that would hurt South Dundas, his response would be “no” keeping in mind that it was still a council decision. Working as warden and on United Counties council gave him a good perspective of what counties do. Forty per cent of tax dollars go to the counties, so Byvelds feels that everyone should be aware of SD&G’s role. “We at the counties need to tell people about that,” he said, citing the example of roads and policing which consume 66 per cent of the counties budget. Pro fire chief The hiring of Chris McDonough as fire chief was another of South Dundas’s checks in the positive column. Now council has a point person to deal with regarding fire issues. McDonough has already done two major changes to the fire department, moving the 911 answering service to Brockville to ensure better service for the residents of South Dundas and implementing a by-law to make carbon monoxide detectors mandatory in all homes. Council also recently awarded a contract for a consultant to research and create a community strategic plan that he hopes everyone will become involved with. “I want to make sure everybody, not just the special interest groups, get to that table,” he said. “It’s not South Dundas council’s plan, it’s your plan.” Overall, Byvelds looked back on this past year positively. His time with this relatively new council has worked out well. “We don’t always agree, we’ve had our issues, but in the end they are dealt with and we move on,” said Byvelds.

BELIEVE BECAUSE IT WORKS

IN REVIEW

July 27, 2011 DUNDELA — The last known surviving firstgeneration graft taken from the first McIntosh apple tree — as recalled by family memory at Smyth's Apple Orchard — has died. “It's history now. It was green up until about three weeks ago, and then the heat sort of finished it off," said Paul Beckstead, who operates the business with his wife, Sandra Smyth Beckstead, and their son and daughterin-law. "We'll probably keep a piece of the wood or something," added Beckstead. The tree's origin stems back to the original McIntosh tree, which expired in 1906, just up the road at the former McIntosh farm. That tree was discovered growing wild by John McIntosh 200 years ago this year. August 3, 2011 SOUTH DUNDAS — South Dundas Township fire fighters were called out to a blaze on Gilmour Road in the early morning hours of July 28, but unfortunately, it was too late. A call came in from a passerby that a structure was on fire, and SD&G OPP officers were dispatched to the scene. The fire department also responded, but by the time they arrived on scene, the house, owned by Jim Thompson, was completely destroyed. August 10, 2011 WINCHESTER - After 30 years on local roads, Arden Carruthers, Public Works Director for the Township of North Dundas, has announced his retirement. Council will be searching for a replacement for Carruthers, who leaves

his role on September 1. WILLIAMSBURG — Another family has been given a home built with the efforts of a caring community. Troy and Amy White and their three children, Sophia, Savannah and Jacob, are the latest family set to receive a house built through Habitat for Humanity, this time in Williamsburg. August 17, 2011 WINCHESTER — In response to the escalating vandalism on the Chesterville waterfront, council agreed to move ahead with measures to further protect the area. At the August 9 council meeting, the local politicians discussed various methods of stopping the vandalism from ruining what is left of the hard work the Green Action Gang has put into making the waterfront a nice parklike setting for residents to enjoy. August 24, 2011 STORMONT-DUNDAS -SOUTH GLENGARRY — The unexpected death of federal NDP leader Jack Layton early Monday morning has caused quite a reaction across Canada and the local riding. Layton, who had recently announced he was temporarily stepping down as the country's Official Opposition leader, succumbed to cancer while surrounded by family and loved ones at home in Toronto.

August 31, 2011 CHESTERVILLE — The mayor and council's refusal to endorse a reborn Upper Canada Rodeo is spurring the event's pullout from Chesterville and North Dundas Township, says Kevin Pennock, head of the newly formed nonprofit foundation that recently assumed control of the rodeo. According to Pennock, the Upper Canada Rodeo Group Foundation won't be able to apply for government grants to assist the rodeo if the municipality won't endorse the event.

The Aug. 31 event drew a good sized crowd to the nearby waterfront area on Main Street North, where they enjoyed live music played from a docked boat and snacked on a scrumptious corn roast overseen by members of the local Rotary Club.

At around 2 p.m. on Sept. 1, North Dundas fire fighters were called to the church to battle a blaze that appeared to have started in the basement. Within two hours, the flames had spread and engulfed the whole structure. Continued on page 11

IN REVIEW

September 14, 2011 SULLIVAN'S CORNERS — A onetime minitourist attraction in North Dundas quietly slipped away into oblivion this summer. The little old bottle house that stood since 1967 in the pasture west of Louis Moriarty's place was finally done in by a June windstorm this year. "I was in the process of rebuilding it, and then that windstorm did quite a bit of damage and I finished tearing it down," Moriarty, 82, said during a late- August interview in the kitchen of the County Rd. 7 farmhouse that's been in his family since 1912. The heap of old bottles that remained were turned in for almost $100 in deposits at the LCBO, he said. September 21, 2011 CORNWALL — The Council of the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas, and Glengarry on Tuesday approved a new contract policing agreement with the Ontario Provincial Police that will see taxpayers hand over a substantial 10 per cent cost increase this year while retaining the OPP as police services provider to the upper-tier municipality until the end of May 2016. MAPLE RIDGE — It was a new experience for local Grade 7 and 8'ers this September when for the first time, they attended classes at North Dundas District High School instead of Maple Ridge Senior Public School. With Maple Ridge closing its doors last June, NDDHS underwent a few

Grade 7 and 8 students now occupy a section on the second floor of the high school and are separated from the older students on the floor below. The students have different schedules, lunch breaks and nutrition breaks. September 28, 2011 WINCHESTER — Dundas County's only allcandidates' meeting covered plenty of ground, as four contenders sparred over healthcare — with Winchester District Memorial Hospital repeatedly tossed into the mix — along with farm policy, education, the economy and the eight-year record of Dalton McGuinty's Liberal Jointly government. organized by the North Dundas Chamber of Commerce and Dundas Federation of Agriculture, the Sept. 19 session at the Winchester Community Centre drew over 100 people. CHESTERVILLE — Does an electronic leashone of those virtual devices that commands a dog through remote control meet the definition a

“leash” under North Dundas Township's canine control bylaw? Kevin Pennock of Chesterville claims it certainly does meet the standard, and he intends to make that case in front of a judge or justice of the peace. He's contesting a $65 charge, levied against him under the bylaw, for having his pet dog, a boxer named Axle, at the village's community park without a traditional leash this past summer. October 5, 2011 LUNENBURG —A late evening fire thoroughly destroyed a Lunenburg landmark. Newington volunteer fire fighters received a page at 8:32 p.m. on Oct. 2 that a fire had broken out at the Lunenburg general store known as Mike's Big M on the corner of County Roads 12 and 18. CHESTERVILLE — In front of a full house and after an absence of nearly 25 years, Junior C hockey returned to Chesterville on Sunday, as the new North Dundas Rockets touched down for their inaugural home game.

the game 3-1 against the Rockland Nationals, but the defeat at home couldn't extinguish the spirit of the fired-up audience crowded around the boards in a village arena largely bereft of anything like normal seating. October 12, 2011 CORNWALL — In his first bid for provincial office, Jim McDonell handily won StormontDundas-South Glengarry for the Progressive Conservatives last Thurs., Oct. 6, one of a dozen new seats scooped up by the Hudak Tories in the Ontario election that saw the McGuinty Liberals retain power but reduced to a minority government. McDonell, the South Glengarry mayor, will face off in the legislature against his Glengarry counterpart, Grant Crack, mayor of North Glengarry and newly elected for the Liberals in Glengarry-Prescott-Russell. MORRISBURG — The SD&G OPP officer at the wheel of a Suburban-type cruiser that fatally collided with another vehicle on County Road 31 has been cleared of all wrongdoing by the province's Special Investigations Unit. The officer, it has now been revealed, was joining the pursuit of a stolen vehicle that was fleeing police while driving erratically with a blown-out

tire very early on July 31. According to the SIU report, the officer involved in the crash that left one woman dead and two passengers with significant injuries did everything bythe-book. October 19, 2011 WILLIAMSBURG Williamsburg's days as the of municipal seat government in South Dundas appear to be numbered. Current users of the old Morrisburg High School building have been advised to vacate the premises by a date later this month, as the township, owner of the Collegiate building, is poised to renovate the structure into an expanded St. Lawrence Medical Clinic and likely new headquarters for council and staff. FINCH — Officials have concluded a devastating Sun., Oct. 16, fire that consumed a Goldfield Road hog barn, killing all 2,700 pigs inside, was accidental in nature. Firefighters from the Finch, Crysler and Avonmore stations responded to the 2 a.m. call originating at Arnie Hakvoort's farm, said North Stormont Fire Chief Joe Bakker. Newington also delivered tanker support to the operation. November 2, 2011 WINCHESTER — With his council colleagues standing on the edges of the room, North Dundas Mayor Eric Duncan took centre

IN REVIEW

November 30, 2011 LONG SAULT — “I would like to make a motion, if I can, that there's never going to be an open bar; there is going to be a cash bar only at any event put on by the municipality.� Deputy Mayor Tammy Hart offered that opening salvo to start a lively discussion around the South Stormont Council chambers Nov. 23. Hart’s motion was defeated three-to-one in a recorded vote with Hart and Woods in favour and the rest of council dissenting. WILLIAMSBURG — Williamsburg Non-Profit Housing Corporation has permanently branded its local low-income housing complex with the name of a longtime former chairperson, and celebrated the completion of a recent $15,000 pathway project. During the fall of 2011, a walkway was constructed between Tolley Place Townhomes, site of 20 housing units built under the Affordable Housing Program, and the nearby J. W. MacIntosh Seniors' Support Centre. The walkway and garden sheds were made possible through an approved $15,000 capital grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation. Trevor Tolley was on hand for the official sign denoting “Tolley Place� in his honour. C H E S T E RV I L L E — New Winchester District Memorial Hospital CEO Cholley Boland and his chief financial officer, Michelle Blouin, estimated that construction of a planned 15,000-square-foot office building project, slated to open on the hospital grounds this November, will cost approximately $1-million to $1.5-million. The admission on that figure came as Boland addressed about 50 people attending WDMH's annual community ambassador's breakfast, Nov. 24 at the Chesterville Legion.

While council did not officially vote Nov. 29 to permanently withdraw just over $2-million from the untouched $4-million account yielded by the sale of the former North Dundas hydro utility more than a decade ago — to pay off the township's portion of the recent Winchester water 'feedermain' pipeline project and the six-yearold Tim Hortons sewer-line job — the majority around the table clearly favoured such an expenditure.

CHESTERVILLE — The Daniels Visitation Centre on Industrial Drive in Chesterville is having a Grand Opening. Jim and Mona Daniels are inviting the public to come out to see their new facilities this weekend, Saturday, Jan. 7 and Sunday, Jan. 8 from 1:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. The new facility is an affiliate of Daniels Funeral Chapels, Inc. serving Chesterville, Winchester and surrounding area. Jim Daniels, a funeral director with over 30 years’ experience in the business, says he bought the former ‘Job Zone’ building several years ago and began renovations to the 3,500-squarefoot structure about three months ago. “It will hold 150 people very comfortably,� Daniels said of the new centre, which “mirrors exactly� the firm’s Winchester facility, which opened in 2006. The site also features ample parking to accommodate 60 vehicles, he also pointed out.

Obituary DROPPO, Marjorie Jean Peacefully at the Winchester Hospital on Monday, December 26, 2011, Marjorie Jean Droppo of Morrisburg, formerly of Chesterville, in her 94th year. Beloved wife of the late Hosea Droppo (1969). Loving mother of Gary (Jane) of Kingston, Rick (Kelly) of Cambridge and Bob (Pam) of Hill Island. Cherished grandmother of Kelly (Chris) Van Beilen of Morrisburg, Kevin (Carla) Droppo of Bradford, Dan Droppo of Bolton, Gina (Josh) Beavers of London and Jamie Droppo of Hill Island. Dear great-grandmother of Tiago, Maia, Reyen, Kade, Halle and Mikayla. Born March 28, 1918 to her parents James and Ethel (Dean)) Hanna, she was the librarian at Morrisburg Public School. Marjorie and Hosea were married at St. Lukes Anglican Church, Burlington, Ontario on October 11, 1941 and they jointly lived their life for the good of others. They were a team. Together their entire focus was on their own kids, other peoples’ kids, dogs, birds, and anyone or anything that needed anything they had to give. Through the 50s and 60s, together they had coached every kid in town how to swing a bat and how to slide into second base. Marjorie was a member of Signet Chapter #272, Order of the Eastern Star, Finch. Once she was plunged into a life on her own, with her husband JRQH DQG KHU FKLOGUHQ JRQH VKH ¿ OOHG KHU ZLQWHU YRLG ZLWK VNLLQJ But cross country skiing was too girly for her – she downhill skied till she was near 80! She golfed well into her 80s till she couldn’t ¿ QG DQ\RQH ZKR FRXOG ZDON WKH FRXUVH ZLWK KHU *ROI FDUWV DUH IRU old people. Nobody would ever see her riding in a golf cart, not even for the second 18 of the day. Years ago, winters in Florida helped to extend the golf season for her – till she even outlived all RI WKH RWKHU SHRSOH ZLWK ZKRP VKH ¿ UVW VWDUWHG WKDW GLYHUVLRQ Marjorie was a woman of devotion and strong faith. She served her church, St. James Anglican, through several entire decades as the organist both in Morrisburg and in Chesterville. She was indeed a very private person, insisting to the end on living alone in the house where she raised her family, a home that had been moved in Seaway times. She had many past-time activities to help her get through the lonely days but her real focus never wavered from her three boys, and then their wives and families became her family too. And oh yes – did anyone ever notice that she was opinionated? So many people are linked to the life of Marjorie Droppo in one way or another. Her sons, her grandchildren and her greatgrandchildren will be part of the legacy that she leaves behind. They will carry on telling of the family history, just as the other people whose lives have been inextricably altered by Mrs. Droppo will continue telling stories of her as they have known her. Friends were received at the Parker Funeral Home, 28 Sir James Morris Drive, Morrisburg on Wednesday, December 28, 2011 from 10:00 a.m. until time of the funeral service in the chapel at 11:00 a.m. Spring interment at St. Lawrence Valley Cemetery, Long Sault.

Rideau-St.Lawrence Showcase, Jan. 7, Winchester

Giberson balances school and hockey while having career season Darren Matte Record Sports CHESTERVILLE— We all hear jokes about professional athletes who took courses in college or university just to play a sport, but not often do you hear about an athlete who is mindful of his studies while playing at a high level. That is the case for Chesterville’s Dylan Giberson, a left-winger for the Ottawa Junior Senators in the Central Canada Hockey League, better known as the local Junior A league. Giberson, 18, grew up in the North Dundas Minor Hockey Association until his minor bantam year when he made the jump to AA and the Rideau-St. Lawrence Kings. Then AAA came into existence in the Ottawa area and he moved up to the Upper Canada Cyclones. Giberson described his biggest influence growing up in the minor hockey as his father, Barry Giberson. “After my first year of B rep, my dad was always there, he

was my coach the whole time. Like most hockey players he was my main role model.” When Giberson was 15years-old, he made his first appearance with at the Junior A level with the Kemptville 73s as an affiliate. In 2009, Kemptville picked Giberson in the first round of the draft. Giberson remembers that moment in his career. “It was great I got to the draft and wasn’t expecting much, but I got picked third overall and, being close to Kemptville, I was really excited.” Giberson spent the 200910 season with Kemptville but was moved to Ottawa in the off-season. Now, Giberson feels he has matured as a player. He has been given opportunities to play in different situations and he has excelled. So far this season, Giberson has 11 goals and 16 , including two game-winning goals. The Junior Sens coach, Rick Dorval, admits that fast grinding winger’s breakout

season has even surprised him. “He is good in both the offensive and defensive zone. He is strong on the puck and competes hard for every puck.” So far this season the Senators are in fifth place in the league. The confidence that Dorval has in Giberson is something he thrives on. “That is the thing with Hockey players, just getting the chance to play and building that confidence makes it easier on the ice,” said Giberson. It is not only his work on the ice that makes Giberson an interesting athlete. One of his goals has been to get a division one scholarship in the NCAA, so far he has not secured one, but he continues to strive towards it. “Right now I would love to play NCAA either division one or three. I am keeping any option open, but my main focus is school.” Currently, Giberson is attending the University of

Ottawa where his major is Business Law and minor Political Science. Giberson realizes that it is a great fall back to hockey. “My parents have always said you never know when you will get that career ending injury.” Unlike many athletes Giberson admits that he enjoys school. “I like reading and writing and by playing in this league, which is so school oriented, I can get a scholarship or something to fall back on.” Balancing the two has never been an issue for Giberson who has always been on the honor roll or close to it. “You get used to it over the years with traveling to Toronto and back along with conversations with teachers. You just get better at it as you play more hockey.” The combination seems to be working for Giberson. With a career-season and the continued focus on his studies he is setting himself up for success no matter which path he takes.

Dylan Giberson is having a breakout year for the Ottawa Junior Senators in the Central Canada Hockey League. Giberson, a Chesterville native, has 27 points, 11 goals and 16 assists in 40 games so far this season. The stats are career highs for the fourth-year player. Matte photo

Lions beat Rangers, 3 back of Rebels Darren Matte Record Sports CARDINAL— The season has been filled with ups and downs for the Morrisburg Lions, but after a win over South Grenville on Dec. 27, the Lions are just three back of Char-Lan for the final playoff spot in the St. Lawrence Division. It didn’t start well for the Lions when they faced the Rangers and it was South Grenville opening the scoring midway through the first on a goal by Logan Geisbrecht. South Grenville was all over the Lions in the first as they outshot them 16-8, but Lions goalie, Mikael Dion stood tall and kept his team in it. Things changed in the second, South Grenville got a quick one just 34 seconds in, but Morrisburg responded. Just two minutes after falling behind by two, Ryan Ward took the Chris Rutley and Clarke Veenstra offering and buried it, 2-1. Then with eight minutes to go in the period, Sam Hodgson and Sylvester Bzdyl set up Michael Keenan who tied the game at two. South Grenville regained the lead shortly after on a goal by Lucas Scott, but after that it was all Lions. Michel Lefebvre tied the game with six to go in the second, from Michael Poapst and Keenan. Then, with two minutes remaining, Keenan gave the Lions their first lead of the game with helpers going to

Rutley and Poapst. The Lions outshot the Rangers 21-11 in the second. The Lions took advantage of power play opportunities in the third period. First, a minute and a half into the frame, Michael Paquette scored from Alex Steingruber and Keenan, then Marc Antoine Kamel got one with 52 seconds remaining from Paquette and Brayden Girard. Again the Lions peppered the Rangers net with 17 shots. Their strong second and third periods helped them escape with a 6-3 win.

Dion stopped 32 of the 35 shots he faced and earned his eighth win of the season. At this point in the season, the Lions have 10 wins, 17 losses and an overtime loss for 21 points. They are 10 points up on the last-placed Wolves and just three back of Char-Lan for that final playoff spot. The Lions host Char-Lan in a very important game on Jan. 6, before the Rideau- St. Lawrence Showcase, on Jan. 7 in Winchester, where they face South Grenville with a 9:30 a.m. puck drop.

OTTAWA— The hockey stars of tomorrow were in Ottawa this past week for the annual Bell Capital Cup, recognized as the largest hockey tournament in the world. Atom and Peewee players took part in the tournament that spanned five days, Dec. 28-Jan. 1, and 28 Ottawa area arenas. Local teams from North Dundas, South Dundas and North Stormont Glengarry each had a team in the 410-team event. North Dundas Atom B The sole North Dundas team in the tournament was the Atom B team. Their tournament did not start the way they wanted as they opened with a 1-0 loss to the Nepean Frostbite. They rebounded in their second game with a 7-0

win over the Orleans Sharks. Goals were scored by Seth Christophersen (2), Chase Holmes, Curtis Bell, Sam Sylvestre, Adam Barkley and Nick Brugmans. Liam Antille picked up the shutout. The Demons continued to roll with a 3-0 win in their final game against the Ottawa East Hornets, Barkley, Sylvestre and Bell scored to give the Demons the win, while Antille earned the shutout. South Dundas Atom B The Lions came close to winning it all, losing in the semifinals to the eventual winners from Pembroke. They began with a 2-2 tie against Kanata with Jackson Thom scoring both goals. Next, they beat the West End Eagles 7-0. Thom (3), Max

Garlough (2), Thomas Rae and Kieran Geurkink had the goals. The Lions then beat Almonte 4-0, with goals from Garlough, Rae, Thom and Blake Feht, to advance to the quarters. In the quarterfinal they needed quadruple overtime to beat South End 5-4. Thom had four goals including the OT winner and Garlough had the other. The team came up short in the semis as they lost 4-1 to Pembroke with Garlough getting the only tally. NGS Atom Major B The NGS team struggled against some strong competition. They opened with a loss to Stoney Creek, then fell to Gloucester-Orleans and finished with a loss to the Blackburn Wild.

Demons win ‘B’ title and earn pair of runners-up Darren Matte Record Sports annual North The Dundas Novice held in Tournament, Chesterville and Winchester Dec. 27, resulted in a strong showing for the North Dundas association’s teams as one team won the ‘B’ championship, in their division, and the two others were finalists for ‘A’ titles in their respective divisions. Novice C Division North Dundas C2 The C2 Demons took home the ‘B’ championship in a close match with Hawkesbury. The C2 Demons began their tournament against that same Hawkesbury team. In that game Cole Eikelboom opened the scoring but Hawkesbury tied it before the end of the first. Hawkesbury took the lead in the second, but Eikelboom’s second of the game in the third period tied it at two and that is how it ended.

North Dundas then took on L’Outaouais, who got out to a 1-0 lead after one. North Dundas came back with three second period goals by Riley Jampen and two from Eikelboom and led 3-2 after two. In the third, Amanda Shay and Justin Williams scored and the Demons won 5-2 earning them a rematch in the ‘B’ Final with Hawkesbury. There was no scoring until the third period. Hawkesbury got on the board first but, less than a minute later, Michael Tufts tied it. Then with 1:50 to go, Williams scored the game winner and North Dundas won the ‘B’ Title 21. North Dundas C1 The C1 Demons got off to a great start with a 9-0 win versus Metcalfe in their opener. Picking up goals for the Demons were: Kieran Macqueen-Laduceur (3), Benjamen Weber (2), Sara Sloane (2), Reise Marriner and Chayce Hyndman. Hunter Vanbreugel earned

the shut out. In their second game, the C1 Demons took on Hawkesbury. North Dundas had a pair of first period goals from Sloane and Macqueen-Laduceur and led 2-0. In the second, Hawkesbury scored a pair to tie it at two, but the Demons came back and scored two late second period goals by Weber and Sloane and took the win 42. That win advanced the C1 Demons to the ‘A’ Finals to take on South Grenville. South Grenville opened up a 3-0 lead after the first. North Dundas got one back midway through the third, by Alexis Sharpley, but South Grenville added one more and won the ‘A’ championship 4-1. Novice B Division There was one North Dundas team that took part in the B division and made it to the ‘A’ final against South Dundas. North Dundas opened

Justin Williams breaks in alone with Hawkesbury goalie Samuel Lacroix in the Novice C division’s B final at the North Dundas Novice House Tournament on Dec. 27, in Winchester. Williams was denied on this attempt but he did get the last laugh as he scored the game-winning goal for the Demons with just under two-minutes to go in the third period. Matte photo

their tournament with a 6-5 loss to South Stormont. The Demons fell behind but battled back to make this one interesting before ultimately falling. Adam Barkley led the Demons with a hat trick while Max Messervey and Jaymen Heuff had the other two. That loss made North Dundas’ second game against Richmond even more important if they wanted to make the ‘A’

Finals. The Demons came out with a great effort and won 11-0. Goal scorers were: Curtis Bowman (3), Austin Rivet (3), Heuff (2), Josh Foley, Barkley and Mason Carr. With that win, along with their goal differential, the Demons moved on to play South Dundas in the ‘A’ final. South Dundas was the only team in the division to win both of their games, 3-

2 against Smiths Falls and 3-0 against South Stormont. North Dundas opened the scoring in the finals on a goal by Delaney Johnston less than a minute in. South Dundas came back and tied it before the end of the first, before scoring five more in the second and third. The Demons got one late off the stick of Bowman, but it was not enough and they had to settle for silver.

Erik Bedard finds new home with Pittsburgh Darren Matte Record Sports Navan native Erik Bedard will have a new cap on this spring as he signed a one-year, $4.5million deal to join the Pittsburgh Pirates Dec. 7. The 32-year-old lefty is expected to help a young staring rotation currently comprised of all righthanded pitchers. Bedard is joining his third team in the last year and fourth of his career. He was drafted by the Baltimore Orioles in 1999 and played for them from 2002 to 2007 before being traded to the Seattle Mariners. He played there until the 2011 trade deadline when he was shipped to Boston. His contract expired in the off-season, making him free to sign with any team. The move also means Bedard will pitch for a National League club for the first time. Bedard had a combined 24 starts in 2011 between Seattle and Boston. He struck out 125 and walked 48 batters in 129 and a third innings of work. He has a career 3.70 earned run average. Bedard recently commented on the signing and what he thinks of the young team. “I think that they were a good team that

made some big strides last year. I am just looking to come over here and add some pitching depth and help them win.” The veteran also realizes that he will be one of the leadership players on the young squad. “When you have a lot of young talent, it makes for a lot of excitement on the ball team. I’m 32, a little older than them. I am just glad to join the rotation and help them do better. One of the advantages of the National League and specifically PNC Park in Pittsburgh is that they both favor pitchers, something that helped in Bedard’s decision. “I have heard a lot of good things, great fans, a nice ball park, it is a good pitchers ball park, I will be glad to be in a park I like.” Pirates General Manager, Neal Huntington, believes adding Bedard will improve the starting rotation. “He gives us a quality starting pitcher to add to the rotation, adds depth and gives us a chance to win every time he takes the baseball. “ Huntington went on to talk about having the veteran presence that Bedard will bring. “He is a veteran, he’s been one of the best pitchers in the

American League, when he is healthy. We believe he is healthy and ready to go this year. He is motivated to do some great things for himself but also for the organization to help us turn the corner.” Injuries and health concerns are nothing new for Bedard. In 2003, he missed the entire season after undergoing elbow surgery and in 2009 he had shoulder surgery that prematurely ended is campaign. This past season he missed a month with a sprained left knee. His previous injury history was something that the Pirates made sure would not be an issue for 2012. “We felt that last year the injuries were not arm related and our medical staff did their diligence and gave us reasonably a justifiable risk with a quality upside,” said Huntington. Still, as Huntington described, there is a great upside and if Bedard can stay healthy he can once again be a dominant force in the league. Pitchers and catchers report to Pirates training camp on Feb. 18 with their first exhibition game coming on March 2. Their season opener is on April 5 at home against the Philadelphia Phillies.

Navan’s Erik Bedard will suit up for his fourth team this spring when he dons the colors of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Bedard signed a one-year deal with the club on Dec. 7. Bedard, seen here with the Seattle Mariners at the beginning of the 2011 season, also played for Boston in 2011 and Baltimore from 2002-07. Photo courtesy of the Seattle Mariners

Winchester Skating Club keeps thriving The Winchester Skating club will turn 38 this year and the club continues to thrive in North Dundas. Since the beginning, the club has had the Tiny Tots program the initial step in the Can Skate program. This year the club saw even more youngsters come out to learn the basics of skating as they had 25 skaters register in the program, which was more than expected. The Tiny Tots make up one fourth of the club that has 100 total skaters, 55 of which are in the Can Skate program. The club begins each year in October and the Tiny Tots begin about a month later. Kids as young as two can register in the program, the first stage of Can Skate, and can remain in it until five or six, depending on how they progress. The program’s premise is “Learn to Skate” and coaches work on teaching the fundamentals like movement balance and getting up to the young skaters. After kids have progressed

through the Tiny Tots program they then enter the remaining stages of Can Skate with the club’s goal being that they remain in skating. With that elevation in the skaters’ levels, it allows them to be eligible for some of the Can Skate events. One event will be the Winchester Skating Club Challenge later this year. The club also has a pair of test days planned on Jan. 14 and Feb. 3 and their Ice Show on March 24. For now the club seems optimistic about the future. They believe that the club will continue to grow in general as Skate Canada continues to grow on a national level. It is not too late to register for the club’s programs, as they will be holding registration for the second half of the season.
