The 146th Spencerville Fair was hot stuff
SPENCERVILLE Organizers of the 146th edition of the
Spencerville Fair are pleased with the outcome of this year's
event.
Thousands of people attended the annual fair, which ran from
Sept. 6 to Sept. 9. Although figures were unavailable Monday,
attendance appeared to be higher than last year's record numbers.
As has been the case throughout most of the summer, the threat
of rain was virtually non-existent as sunshine and above-normal
temperatures dominated the forecast during the four-day fair.
Harold Malcomson, president of the Spencerville Agricultural
Society, described this year's fair as a big success. Much of
the credit for that success should go to the many volunteers
who spent countless hours planning and running the wide variety
of events and activities associated with the fair, according
to Malcomson.
That sentiment was shared by Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs
Minister Brian Coburn, who took part in the parade Saturday morning
and spoke at the opening ceremony Saturday afternoon. Coburn
noted the effort that goes into staging an event that showcases
the contribution made by the agricultural community. The fact
the fair is in its 146th year also illustrates the hard work
and co-operation involved each year, according to the minister.
"With that kind of longevity it's not something that
happened by accident," Coburn said.
Malcomson acknowledged the weather this summer affected many
of the entries in the agriculture competitions. The hot and humid
conditions this past weekend also made it difficult for some
of the animals at the fairgrounds, not to mention a few of the
exhibitors.
But many basked in the sunshine and attended the wide variety
of activities presented at this year's fair. The demolition derby,
tractor pull and horse races attracted large crowds to the grandstand.
Both the Spencerville Fair Ambassador Pageant and the Little
Sir/Little Miss Pageant took place Friday night. Karen Van Ryswyk
was crowned ambassador; 1st Runner-up and Miss Congeniality honours
went to Julie Crawford. Jessica Dunnington and A.J. Laroque were
named Little Miss and Little Sir respectively. The Shania Twin
tribute show also took to the stage Friday night at the community
centre.
As fair organizers began the task of cleaning up the fairgrounds
Sunday, planning for next year's fair was already in the works.
Malcomson said the board will go over its notes and meet next
month to review this year's events and look ahead to the 147th
edition of the fair.
Attacks prompt tighter border security
JOHNSTOWN Security was heightened at the international
bridge Tuesday morning in response to a series of terrorist attacks
in the United States.
Several Ontario Provincial Police officers were dispatched
to the Canadian side of the crossing. The southbound lane was
closed for between 30 and 45 minutes Tuesday morning. The crossing
was open as of press time Tuesday afternoon. OPP officers were
assisting Canada Customs personnel with vehicle checks.
Leeds-Grenville MP Joe Jordan condemned the attacks on the
World Trade Centre towers, Pentagon and other American targets.
Jordan, who met with government leaders in Ottawa Tuesday, referred
to what happened in the United States as "a cowardly attack
on innocent citizens.
"Our prayers go out to them," the MP added.
Council seeks better
results
PRESCOTT Concerns about the way town council is doing
business made for a lively debate Monday night at a committee-of-the-whole
meeting.
What started as a discussion on a proposal by Mayor Robert
Lawn to change council's committee system turned into an opportunity
for some councillors to express their displeasure with the current
situation.
The mayor had proposed council follow a committee-of-the-whole
approach that would see all members of council meet to discuss
issues from six policy areas. Each councillor would be assigned
a general policy area and would be spokesperson for that department
at council and committee-of-the-whole meetings.
Council had adopted a standing committee system at the beginning
of its term. Each councillor who had previous experience at the
council table was selected to chair one of four committees; the
committee would include two other councillors, with the mayor
being an ex-officio member of each committee.
Mayor Lawn indicated his proposal would give each member of
council an assignment and give all members full opportunity to
take part in committee discussions. Councillors Garry Dewar and
Terry McConnell responded by voicing their concerns about the
existing structure and what they believe to be council's inability
to do its job.
Dewar said council has not been effective and is lagging behind
on a number of issues. He went on to state the town is having
money problems and 25 per cent of taxes are going unpaid.
"We have absolutely no control over the finances of the
town," he said. "If we were a company we would be bankrupt."
McConnell said there are "too many things that aren't
right." The councillor added he feels helpless as chair
of the transportation and environmental services committee
Continued on Page because of what he believes has been the
finance and corporate services committee's inability to take
a lead role on certain issues, including the transfer of water
services to the municipality. Having a committee-of-the-whole
meeting every week is not getting the job done, according to
McConnell.
"We're spinning our wheels," he said.
McConnell and Dewar said they favour returning to a committee
system in place when McConnell served on council several terms
ago. The mayor insisted his proposal would address the councillors'
concerns, but he went on to state it was clear the proposal did
not meet their needs.
Emotions appeared high during portions of the discussion.
At one point McConnell said he did not want to enter into "a
pissing match" with the mayor, adding the two have been
good neighbours for almost 30 years and McConnell wants it to
stay that way despite the serious differences emerging at the
council table.
Finance committee chairperson Jo-Anne Beckstead, who was not
present for the first half of Monday's discussion, said she likes
the committee-of-the-whole system in which each councillor is
responsible for a section of meeting business. The system is
more transparent to the public because various issues can be
dealt with at one meeting, she noted. With more people at the
committee-of-the-whole meeting, Beckstead argued, more ideas
could be suggested and discussed.
She said after the meeting she does not support any attempt
by council to "micro-manage" municipal operations.
In light of opposition to his committee structure proposal,
the mayor asked McConnell and Dewar to put together a proposal
and present it later this month.

Boundary railway crossing in bad shape
PRESCOTT Town council is looking into how much it would
cost to repair the Boundary Street railway crossing.
Councillors expressed their concerns about the condition of
the level crossing at a meeting Monday. One estimate pegs the
cost of repairs at $25,000, Councillor Terry McConnell said.
It was suggested the town contact CN and ask for a revised
quote. The municipality would pay for the repairs.
Councillor Garry Dewar said the poor condition of the crossing
is the second most frequent complaint he hears from the public;
the most frequent is the condition of Churchill Road.

Augusta council
faces verbal attack from residents at township meeting
By Monica Whitney - Journal Staff Writer
MAYNARD Augusta residents continue to question council
on decisions they say will negatively affect the township.
Four residents made separate and sometimes heated presentations
to council at its Monday meeting, each citing specific concerns.
Reeve George Vail was forced to restore order in the council
chamber on at least one occasion.
Don Biccum insisted "a full explanation doesn't cut it"
when Councillor Jane Fullarton explained why she did not declare
a conflict of interest in a personnel issue.
Biccum questioned Fullarton for not declaring a conflict when
her stepbrother was being considered for employment with the
township last spring. Gary Hogeveen was hired as a full-time
driver/operator for the roads department. He had been a seasonal
township employee for about the past 10 years.
Fullarton noted legal requirements call for municipal employees
and elected officials to declare a conflict of interest only
when that person stands to gain financially. She said the employee's
father was married to her mother, making him "technically"
a relation.
However, Hogeveen's father died about four years ago, she
said, and since then there has been a "significant rift"
in the family.
"There isn't any relationship there that could have any
financial benefit from him to myself," Fullarton said.
Biccum suggested Fullarton conveniently "disowned"
her stepbrother for personal gain.
Fullarton encouraged Biccum to seek legal recourse. "You
will be hearing from me again," Biccum said.
Reeve George Vail assured resident Glen Kirkland extra money
spent on the construction of Lords Mills Road was necessary to
repair mistakes made by a previous council.
"The way it looks you're trying to bankrupt us,"
Kirkland said, noting it has taken more than $700,000 to fix
the road instead of the $500,000 that was figured into the budget.
"This is totally unacceptable for a road that's going nowhere,"
he said.
Deputy Reeve Morris Stark explained to resident Gill Cyr converting
the township's 1993 single-axle truck to a tandem will prove
more efficient and cost effective than purchasing a new truck.
Cyr felt the conversion was unprofessional and poor planning.
"This was wrong, and the chance of that truck going down
the road right is small."
Cyr was also troubled by the fact there is now a municipal
employees' union representing some township employees. Cyr wondered
what happened "to our men to provoke them so bad that they
felt they had to call a union to manage. Something is terribly
wrong between either council or your management.
"The union costs me money. We don't want too many of
these boo boos done anymore because pretty soon we're all going
to be in a mess."
In response to a question from township resident Jim Bailey,
Stark said the removal and demolition of an old guard shack at
the Maynard landfill was necessary because of its deteriorated
condition. Bailey felt it was a waste of taxpayers' money to
pay for a rental trailer on the site.
Councillor Doug Barton, who also heads the waste management
committee, assured Bailey the temporary structure will help ease
the transition of the landfill site to a transfer station. Once
the transfer station is operational, a building with a proper
washroom and lunchroom will be constructed for the employees.
Barton also said the cost to have the shack professionally moved
was prohibitive.
EDWARDSBURGH/CARDINAL BRIEFS
New computer for township official
SPENCERVILLE Edwardsburgh/Cardinal Chief Building Official
Terry Peacock will be receiving a new computer system to aid
in his work, council authorized at its Sept. 4 meeting.
The building official had the oldest equipment in the township
and it was out of date, council said. The new system will network
with other municipal equipment, and includes a large-size monitor,
an Internet connection, battery back-up system, and a printer
capable of printing heavy card stock for building permits.
The purchase will cost the township $3,553, including tax.
Council agrees to antenna project
SPENCERVILLE Edwardsburgh/Cardinal council passed a
bylaw Sept. 4 to enter into an antenna site licence agreement
with Upper Canada Networks (UCNet).
Based in Kemptville, UCNet is a non-profit company dedicated
to bringing affordable, high-speed wireless communication to
Leeds and Grenville. The company plans to install three antennas
and a receiver on the grain elevators in Johnstown. The equipment
will aid in building a wireless Internet loop that would service
the counties.
The Port of Prescott antennas would serve as a jump-off point
for the wireless network in several directions, including across
the St. Lawrence River to an Ogdensburg business park, UCNet
CEO Vic Allen indicated at an earlier council meeting. The affordable
Internet access would be available to businesses, individuals,
schools and hospitals within the loop.
Ports management meeting set
SPENCERVILLE A special meeting to determine the future
of the administrative structure at the Port of Prescott elevator
has been scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 13 by Edwardsburgh/Cardinal
council.
Councillor Peggy Taylor said at a Sept. 4 meeting time is
of the essence, since the contract of the current general manager
at the port expires Oct. 31. She also indicated the manager may
be wanting to leave the job.
"It shouldn't be a slip-slap thing at the end,"
Taylor said, stressing the importance of reviewing a job description
and advertising the position.
"We've done nothing to date and we've got to do something.
We have to move and I think we should move on it as soon as possible."
The township took over ownership of the ports property from
the federal government last October.
Churchill Road sewer connections to be checked
PRESCOTT Town officials want an in-depth analysis before
making a final decision on the proposed reconstruction of Churchill
Road.
Prescott council has yet to sign a contract to rebuild the
decaying roadway from Edward Street to Boundary Street. Among
the options being considered is reconstructing the section from
Edward to Massie Drive this year, leaving the stretch between
Massie and Boundary for next year.
However, council members agreed Monday to obtain additional
information about sewer connections under Churchill Road before
awarding a tender.
Councillor Terry McConnell explained Town Engineer Clyde Solomon
suggested a camera be sent down to inspect existing connections
between houses and the sewer line. Problems associated with some
of the connections in the area prompted town officials to look
into the matter.
The estimated cost of rebuilding Churchill Road is in the
range of $600,000. The low bid submitted during a recent tender
call falls within that range.
Meals on Wheels
celebrates 25th anniversary
PRESCOTT After 25 years of service, volunteers with
Prescott's Meals on Wheels program keep driving forward to provide
a friendly face and nutritious food to local people.
The volunteer committee celebrated its 25th anniversary Monday
with a luncheon at the Prescott health centre. The gathering
was also a goodbye to Clara Marchand, who is retiring after 20
years with the organization, and to Irving Miller, retiring after
19 years.
"It's fulfilling for us," Marchand said, commenting
on why she has volunteered so much time over the years delivering
meals and acting as chairperson. "You might be the only
one to be there in a day for them."
Marchand said she enjoyed the noon meal visits so much, she
would often return for afternoon visits with the clients.
The time has come to take a reluctant rest from volunteer
work, Marchand noted, adding she is also involved with the Rebekah
Lodge, St. Paul's United Church and the lawn bowling club.
Meals on Wheels operates with about 45 volunteers, many of
whom have been involved for more than 20 years. The volunteers
pick up meals Monday to Friday from St. Lawrence Lodge in Brockville
where they are prepared, and then deliver them to residents in
Prescott. About 14 clients are currently served, at a cost of
$3.25 each per meal. St. Lawrence Lodge is paid $3 per meal,
and the remainder pays for administrative costs to keep the program
running. Volunteer drivers provide their own vehicles and gas.
Costs are kept low because no one is paid for their work.
One meal consists of a soup, meat, potato, vegetable, bread,
butter and a dessert. There is often food left from the large
portions for another meal, and the servings are geared to dietary
needs.
Volunteer Joan Fortier says its the strong bond and friendship
that develops with co-workers and clients that makes the work
rewarding. "It's mainly because we like the people,"
she said.
"It's a good feeling you get when you finish with your
run," said Ursula Noe, who has been with the program since
its inception. "You get more out of it than we give to it."
Jane Dalgleish, who is also an original member, said Meals
on Wheels "is a very valuable program for the community.
I've always been proud to be a part of it and to be with such
good friends. It's been no effort, really."
The Prescott Meal Care Steering Committee was first formed
in Sept. 1975 with officers Sandra Lawn as chairman, Pam Snelling
as recording secretary and Grace Scott as corresponding secretary,
who also initiated a nutritional survey of seniors in Prescott.
Others members visited neighbouring communities who had a meal
care program and obtained information on forming the local program.
The group received a Local Incentive Program grant for $15,500
in Nov. 1975. Four employees - Melvin Parrott, Mabel Wills, Linda
Gettings and Dan Jones - were hired to carry out the day-to-day
operation.
St. Lawrence Lodge in Brockville agreed to supply the meals,
and four hot boxes, charcoal and metal dishes were purchased
from London, England. The price to the client was 85 cents, and
an average of 21 meals were delivered Monday to Friday.
The steering committee did public relations work through local
churches and organizations, and in March 1976 called a meeting
to encourage Prescott and area residents to support a volunteer
meal care program. The response was encouraging, and the first
executive for the program was formed with Irene Angst, Carmel
Glynn, Pam Dewar, Pam Snelling and Jane Dalgleish.
The first constitution was signed in Jan., 1978. The first
chairpersons were Ursula Noe, Laurie Malowsky and Clara Marchand.
Secretaries were June George, Beverly Willer, Jane Dalgleish
and Sandi MacKay. Co-ordinators were Barbara Swoger, Lea McQuitty
and Jane Dalgleish.
Anyone interested in volunteering with Meals and Wheels can
contact Ursula Noe at 925-4494 or Suzanne Simms at 925-2988.
Search and rescue boat being considered by
town
By Tim Ruhnke - Journal Editor
PRESCOTT The municipality will apply for funding to
offset the cost of acquiring a search and rescue boat.
Council agreed at a committee-of-the-whole meeting Monday
to apply for $25,000 in JEPP funding. The move follows a request
made earlier this summer by the Prescott Fire Department.
Although a funding application has been made, council has
not made a decision on whether a rescue boat will be purchased.
Fire department officials indicated the cost of a boat and
related equipment could total $90,000. Much of the money to pay
for the boat would be raised by firefighters, council members
were told.
The Ontario Provincial Police operates a boat that is shared
by Grenville and Leeds detachments. Although the coast guard
provides search and rescue service, it operates on a volunteer
basis and uses a standby system after business hours.
Town CAO/Clerk Andrew Brown reported to council the coast
guard has an auxiliary search and rescue program which would
enable a community-based volunteer group to receive training
and some operational costs.
The OPP and the county fire co-ordinator support the Prescott
department's request, according to Brown.
Although council members agreed to have a funding application
submitted, there are mixed feelings on whether the town should
get into the search and rescue business. Councillor Garry Dewar
said he would not support the proposal if Prescott paid and neighbouring
municipalities did not. It was noted Prescott has a much smaller
waterfront area than Augusta and Edwardsburgh/Cardinal townships.
Councillor Jim French agreed costs should be shared. He pointed
out the county is recommending a search and rescue service would
cover the area extending from Maitland to Cardinal.
Councillor Terry McConnell said the search and rescue proposal
is an excellent idea; however, he added "it's not going
to fly" without the co-operation of neighbouring municipalities.
French noted "it's a dead issue" if the funding
application is denied.
Annual historic
house tour offers a taste of the past
PRESCOTT A magnificent Victorian mansion nestled along
the banks of the St. Lawrence River returns to the line-up of
stately homes selected to mark the fifth annual Grenville Historical
Society House Tour, set for Saturday, Sept. 22.
With its elaborate gables, prominent chimneys, decorative
shingles and brick work and sweeping veranda curving to overlook
the river, the Isaac Wiser house is a popular addition to the
tour.
The King Street West home was a focal point of the first house
tour five years ago, and the home's beautiful interior never
fails to impress. Each of the principal rooms features a different
wood species, many with arched doorways and unique fireplace
surrounds. It was built about 1892 for the son of J.P. Wiser,
the prominent Prescott distiller.
An earlier example of Victoriana, the Benjamin French house
on Dibble Street West features steep gables with gingerbread.
This brick home was built in 1859 for the railroad tycoon who
was superintendent of the Ottawa and Prescott Railway, providing
a valuable link for previously isolated communities along its
route. This house also features elegant woodwork and a beautiful
staircase.
At about the same time and only two blocks away on James Street
West, the congregation of St. John's Anglican Church commissioned
a home for its rector, Rev. Richard Lewis, who succeeded the
founder of this parish, Rev. Robert Blakey.
The gold-coloured brick was a step away from the traditional
red used in most houses here. Inside, the large rooms with high
ceilings are framed with deeply curved mouldings and door frames.
Stepping farther back in time, an early 1830s gristmill for
grinding grain secured its place in history as the site of the
now famous Battle of the Windmill. Interpreters at the site are
happy to relate the story of the 1838 bloody skirmish as local
militia successfully defended the banks against American interlopers.
The mill was concerted to a lighthouse in the 1870s.
Many stone and wood buildings surrounded the mill at the time,
but today only one remains. It was built in 1822 as a store and
has been carefully restored by its present owners. The east wall
still bears scars of cannon shot from that battle.
These sites may be visited in any order between 1 and 4:30
pm Sept. 22. Access is by ticket only.
Tickets are available in advance at Young's of Prescott, Flower
World, Chris Slater House of Flowers, or at the historical society
by calling 925-0489. The ticket folder includes a map and brief
description of the houses. Admission includes a traditional afternoon
tea, to be served from 1 to 4 pm at Walker House, 623 King St.
W.
The house tour is the historical society's major fundraising
event of the year. Proceeds from the event help ensure the organization's
volunteers can continue with their work of gathering and preserving
the history of the area.
The society archives is open to the public each Tuesday for
research. It is located at Dibble and Edward streets.
Delegations will
be required to follow bylaw procedures
MAYNARD Augusta residents will now be required to follow
a procedural bylaw established in 1998 before being allowed to
make presentations at regular council meetings.
Reeve George Vail notified a full-house audience Monday night
all delegates must submit a written notice to the township chief
administrative officer before 4:30 pm on the Wednesday preceding
a Monday council meeting. The submission must be signed, and
the purpose of the presentation clearly stated. Written submissions
should not be more than one page in length. Only one spokesperson
per issue will be allowed to address council.
The reeve stated adhering to proper procedure was necessary
so council could be adequately prepared with relevant information
during presentations.
A number of delegates have appeared at recent council meetings
in which councillors were not able to speak on the matter before
obtaining more information.
Fair Ambassador, Little Miss and Little Sir
crowned
SPENCERVILLE The new ambassador of the Spencerville
Fair is looking forward to the upcoming year.
Karen Van Ryswyk was crowned ambassador Friday night at the
community centre. Van Ryswyk, an OAC student at South Grenville
District High School, was one of six contestants to vie for the
title.
A crowd of more than 500 attended the event, which also featured
a performance by Shania Twin, a tribute to the popular recording
artist from Timmins, Ont.
This was the first pageant in which an ambassador was crowned.
A queen was crowned at pageants in the past; however, young men
are now eligible to compete. Iain MacPherson was one of the six
contestants in this year's event.
Natalie Bruce, last year's Spencerville Fair Queen, recalled
what seemed to be an eternity when she took to the stage in last
year's pageant. She has represented the fair and Spencerville
at numerous events in the area and at provincial get-togethers.
"It went by very fast, but it was enjoyable," she
said.
Van Ryswyk said she will enjoy being fair ambassador because
it will give her a chance to meet new people and represent her
community. "I am looking forward to it," she said.
The ambassador said she was shocked to hear her name announced
as the winner; all the other contestants were great, Van Ryswyk
added.
Julie Crawford was chosen 1st Runner-up and Miss Congeniality.
The other contestants were Melissa Henderson, Brooke Hunter
and Marissa Carver.
Ten girls and three boys were entered in the second annual
Little Miss/Little Sir pageant which took place prior to the
ambassador competition. After each contestant was introduced,
three boys and three girls were selected for the final round;
each was asked a question, and the judges left to make their
decisions after all six had answered.
Jessica Dunnington was named Little Miss. The other two girls
who made it to the finals were Jessica Halliday and Charlena
Miller.
Little Sir honours went to A.J. Larocque. Chase Tetreault
and Colin Reynolds were the other two boys who took part in the
event.
The other girls who entered the Little Miss competition were
Fiona Cleary, Julisa Tetreault, Jessica Miller, Paige Burnie,
Megan Wheatley, Laura Wheatley and Meghan Evoy.
Townships support Lanark
request
MAYNARD - The councils of Augusta and Edwardsburgh/ Cardinal
have each supported a request to allow tickets to be sold within
the townships for a Lanark County fundraiser.
Pike Falls Classic, a non-profit motorcycle event that raises
money for Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Lanark County, had
requested permission to sell raffle tickets in each of the municipalities
until May 5, 2002. The prizes in the raffle are a Harley Davidson
motorcycle and a $1,000 gift certificate.
Both township councils supported the request at their most
recent September meetings.
