RUSSELL - A 24-unit

condo complex at the

corner of Castor and Warner

Streets in the village of

Russell is now advertising

for buyers while it awaits

two Ontario Municipal

Board appeals. The

development by Oligo

Development Group and

Donnelly Homes has been a

bone of contention with

some residents who have

cited the project as "not the

right fit for the village

core".

The opposition has been

led by Russell resident Tom

Huisman who has

challenged Russell

Township Council and its

Planning Department on not

only the overall project but

on the grounds that he feels

proper procedures were not

followed in obtaining input

from the community and

communicating the

development's details

thoroughly to residents,

including allowing for an

appeal on a matter of a

minor variance to the

proposal. For his part, Oligo

President developer Eric

Brisson has made changes

to the original site line and

size of the condo building

to suit some of the concerns

addressed by a municipal

open house and from

opinions expressed by the

Township's Minor Variance

Committee. Originally a tie-

vote by the three-person

committee (with one

member declaring a conflict

of interest, not voting)

meant that Brisson had to

go back to the drawing

board and reduce total lot

coverage. A second vote

was taken, this time with

Township Mayor JP St-

Pierre breaking the tie and

moving the project forward.

However the first proposal

was sent to the OMB which

is expected make a ruling

on whether the original

project can proceed or if the

changes must be adopted

that would see more green

space on the lot while

keeping with the original 24

units.

Huisman has said that he

is not against building

condos in the community

but the size of the project

where it is to be located is

simply too big for the area.

He and others would have

preferred a building half the

size with only 12 units. In a

recent letter to the editor in

The Villager, Huisman

states, "To be clear, the

residents who spoke against

the project were not

suggesting a condo could

not be built at that location,

rather the residents were

simply asking the Township

to ensure the property

respected its By-Laws and

that the property continued

to fit within the look and

feel of our village."

St-Pierre told The

Villager that while he

agrees that communication

on the project could have

been better, he feels that the

proper steps were taken

based on municipal by-

laws. "Going forward, I

have discussed with the

Planning Department about

how we can improve the

process so that residents are

engaged at each step and

that it is done in a timely

matter." St-Pierre suggested

giving public notice on

projects a week earlier than

is stipulated in the

communication by-laws as

well as putting up larger site

proposal signs indicating a

specific project would help

improve the process. "We

have guidelines that give us the bare minimum of what wehave to, but those guidelines can be expanded where wefeel it its warranted," said St-Pierre.

Procedures and minor variances aside, the $5.8 millionconstruction is a go and already developers have signed upnine tenants for the units that start at $199,900 and featureone or two bedrooms, hardwood and ceramic floors, moderncabinetry, a balcony and indoor parking and storage. Brissonhas indicated that the development will be considerate of thenature and the history of Russell while adhering to theTownship's Official Plan.

While Huisman tells The Villager that he is still lookingat his options for an appeal, he has said that the communitymust come together to scrutinize and ensure that any futuredevelopment in the village core makes sense.

The chanceof being struckby lightning israre, howeverit does occa-sionally occur.What is morelikely to hap-pen during a summerstorm is that lightningmight strike an object thatin turn can cause furtherdamage or harm. By tak-ing precautions duringelectrical storms you canavoid being harmed byboth scenarios.

Lightning strikes cancarry up 100 million voltsof electricity and arecaused by the discharge ofstatic electricity thatbuilds up between thun-derclouds or thunder-clouds and the ground.Any lightning strike hasthe potential to do realharm or even kill andshould be taken seriously.The first sign of lightningis thunder. Thunder is thesound produced by theexplosive expansion of airdue to the heat generatedby a lightning strike.Anytime you hear thunderyou know that lightning isnearby.

Most of us grew uplearning that if you count-ed how many seconds itwas between seeing light-ning and the thunder clapit would tell you how farthe lightning was. Forexample five secondsequaled five miles. Wellwe were a little mislead,since sound travels atapproximately 340 metresper second. A five secondcount would mean that thelightning was around1,700 metres away or onemile plus 90 metres - a lotcloser than the five milecount we were taught. Agood rule of thumb toadhere to would be if thethunderclap is heard inless than 30 seconds afterseeing lightning, you are

in an area thathas the poten-tial for a strikeand you shouldbe taking pre-cautions.

If you areoutdoors, the

first precaution is to seekappropriate shelter in ahome or vehicle. If in avehicle make sure you arenot parked near large treesas they can topple over inlarge storms. Another haz-ard to look out for ispower lines. If by chancethey do fall across yourvehicle, stay in the vehi-cle. DO NOT get out onyour own! Even if chargedlines are on your car andyou will be safe as long asyou stay within the vehi-cle. To exit safely, thepower has to be cut fromthe lines, which requiresthe help of hydro crews. Ifshelter is not available,stay away from tall objectsand seek low-lyingground.

Boating and swimmingare two activities that mustbe avoided during electri-cal storms. If you are in aboat, head towards landimmediately and find shel-ter. Lightning strikes onthe water can travel greatdistances from the point ofcontact so staying out ofthe water is your bestdefense. Wearing rubberboots will not save youfrom a lightning strike sostaying out of streams andlarge puddles also applies.

If you witness a personbeing struck by lightning,use standard first-aid prac-tices. Victims havereceived a massive electri-cal shock but do not carryany electrical charge sothey are safe to handle.Those hit by a lightningstrike will often sufferfrom burns and shock butit is also possible that theirheart and breathing maystop which will requireCPR. Seek medical atten-tion as soon as possible.

"ThroughCanada's Economic ActionPlan, we are creating jobs,investing in communitiesand improving the qualityof life for residents livinghere and across the coun-try."

"These infrastructureinvestments we are makingare building new opportuni-ties for our children andgrandchildren," statedLalonde. "This modernlibrary will be a cultural andeducational centrepiece forall the people of theMunicipality of Russell formany years to come."

"Today, we celebratedthe completion of this state-of-the-art municipal build-ing together. We areextremely proud to be ableto not only provide a librarythat will serve our growingmunicipality for years tocome, but also to offer afully accessible facilitywhich will better serve ourseniors, children and resi-dents, particularly thosewith a disability," saidMayor JP St. Pierre. "Wewould like to express grati-tude and acknowledge ourloyal financial partners, thefederal and provincial gov-ernments, for their signifi-cant contribution. Our resi-dents are looking forward toenjoy this wonderful facili-ty."

The governments ofCanada and Ontario haveeach committed up to$600,000 toward the projectthrough the CommunitiesComponent of the BuildingCanada Fund. TheTownship of Russell con-tributed the balance of thetotal eligible project cost of$1.8 million.

Following the speeches,a ceremonial ribbon cuttingtook place in front of thebranch followed by theplanting of a tree byLemieux, Lalonde and St-Pierre to symbolize theopportunities of knowledge

and growth offered by thenew library.

A special in-camerameeting between Counciland the Library Board wasto have taken place onMonday, July 4 to discussthe future of the EmbrunLibrary branch. A proposalto move the branch, whichmust vacate its current loca-tion at the municipal officesto make way for an expan-sion the Service Ontariooutlet, was made to Councillast month with the plan topartner with the CatholicDistrict School Board ofEastern Ontario. The Boardand the Township staff haveagreed in principle to locatethe library within the Saint-Jean/Pavillon La Croiséecatholic elementary schooloff of St. Augustin St. nearNotre Dame St. While acouple of members of

CASTORCountryBy Tom Van Dusen

When I was growing upacross the river in Aylmer inthe 1950s and ‘60s, backwhen the gravel roads werecoated with hot tar to keepthe summer dust down -goop which got traipsed intothe house on the soles ofbare feet - we lit fireworkson special occasions justlike folks do today, by golly!

Only we called them firecrackers, not fireworks.Back then, it was all aboutthe blow – how big a bangyou got for your buck – notabout the show.

The show came as a side-line at a much lower costthan today’s expensive fire-works exemplified by thosethat lit up the night overParliament Hill July 1… andactually drew complaintsfrom some ungratefulCanadians for not beingimpressive enough.

Back in the day, our dogHedy – named for 1940sHollywood bombshell HedyLamarr – a black and whitespaniel with a zany person-ality, provided much of thefree, backyard show.

Hedy had a thing for thetiny crackers which came ona string and went off like amachine gun when you litone end… rat, tat, tat, tat!When a lit string hit theground and began writhingand popping, Hedy wouldpounce, grab the crackersand shake them like shemight an unsuspectinggarter snake.

They went off in hermouth, but she neverseemed to get hurt and never

let go until the last one wasextinguished. While the per-formance didn’t exactlyelicit ooohs and aaahs fromthe audience of small chil-dren and twisted adults, italways got some big laughs.

Then there were thecanon crackers whichseemed close in size to astick of dynamite…kaboom! Canons were greatfor launching tin cans intothe stratosphere, somethingour bizarre neighbour NickCarter did without fail onany occasion worthy of it.The show was all about howhigh in the sky the canwould fly.

I was thinking aboutthose much simpler timesover the Canada Day week-end while enjoying the elec-trifying spectacle of a mod-ern fireworks display as farremoved from 1950s Aylmeras today’s tar-less road net-work.

To get my fireworks fix, Ididn’t have to hustle toParliament Hill and braves h o u l d e r - t o - s h o u l d e rthrongs heightened by thepresence of cute youngRoyals Will and Kate whoare garnering an astoundinglevel of adulation withouthaving done anything otherthan being born lucky.

All I had to do for my fixwas, come 9:45 pm, drainmy Molson Canadian select-ed in honour of the occasionand served to me by cheer-ful volunteers at the Russellfairgrounds, and mosey onover to Ecole St. Joseph forthe big pyrotechnical blast

presented everyyear by the localLions Club for adonation if you’dbe so kind as totoss one in the pot.

The local showmay not have beenas big – or maybeit was - as whatwas offered on theHill, but it was asgood, as profes-sionally done, asI’m sure morethan 1,000 grateful area res-idents would attest whocould be seen clustered onthe soccer pitches when therockets and artificial starsbriefly chased away thedarkness.

Sometimes we don’t real-ize how good we have it insmall town Ontario and I’mas guilty as the next guy intaking some things forgranted, things like theannual Canada Day celebra-tion in Russell which startswith breakfast and winds upat 11 pm when the bandcranks out the last tune –and I crank out my last beer- all of it free to all comers.All you have to pay for areany extras… burgers, ribsand beers.

So it’s time to salute theunsung heroes of CanadaDay in Russell, the dozensof volunteers working underthe auspices of the Lions,the agricultural society andLegion Branch 372. Manyof the same faces have beenmaking this great day hap-pen year after year with rarepublic thanks.

I’m going to call itFlawless Friday and I wason hand for a lot of it, start-ing with the free Legionbreakfast which served

more than 900 people to thepoint of running out of mostfood items.

There may have beenmore complaints from thosesame ungrateful Canadiansabout the level of talent onthe Hill – can you believethey’d whine about GreatBig Sea and Sam Roberts? –but nary a one in Russellwhen Canada Day regularsEddy and the Stingrays tookto the stage playing vintagerock and roll in matchinghot pink jackets, on match-ing turquoise guitars.

And there were certainlyno complaints about the restof the musical lineup,Ginette Hamilton, theCastor River Boys and OddMan Out; and no complaintsabout several other activitiesincluding the jello and hotdog eating contests inwhich, after sizing me up,some “friends” thought Icould be a contender.

All that hard work fromso many good neighbours toprovide all that free fun!Please join me ladies andgentlemen in saluting thosegreat local organizationsand their fine members whocontribute so much to locallife. Kaboom! Rat, tat, tat,tat!

RUSSELL - While many brave souls

dared to head to downtown Ottawa this

past Canada Day in the hopes of catching

a glimpse of the visiting Royal Couple,

the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, sim-

ply known as Will and Kate, many decid-

ed that they would enjoy a more rural

atmosphere to get their party on.

It was a sea of red and white at the

Russell Fairgrounds for the annual

Canada Day birthday bash hosted by the

Russell Agricultural Society, the Russell

Lions, the Russell Legion and the Russell

Fire Department. From bouncy castles,

face-painting, an impromptu waterpark

with the RFD water tanker, a BBQ by the

Russell Scouts and later by the Russell

Lions Club, as well as stage shows by the

likes of Eddy and the Stingrays, the Castor

River Boys, Ginette Hamilton and the 4

Gs, and Odd Man Out, there was definite-

ly something for everyone to get a full day

of celebrating under the hot summer sun.

Other highlights of the day included a

hot dog and jello eating contest and a vol-

leyball tournament. Once again organizers

outdid themselves with the spectacular

nighttime fireworks behind St-Joseph

school.

Check out the next two pages for pic-

tures of what turned out to be one of the

best Canada Day parties on record.

Ronald Griffith In loving memory of a dear son, who

passed away accidentally on July 12, 2009.You can shed tears that he is gone,

Or you can smile because he has lived.You can close your eyes and pray that he’ll come back,

Or you can open your eyes and see all he’s le� .Your heart can be empty because you can’t see him,

Or you can be full of the love you shared.You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.

You can remember him and only that he’s gone,Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on.

You can cry and close your mind,Be empty and turn your back,Or you can do what he’d want;

Smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

Forever in our hearts,Mom & Dad

ORLEANS - The 8th Annual Snakebite

Tournament was held on June 25-26 at the

Millennium fields on Trim Road in

Orleans. Although the fields were wet, the

Russell Raiders U13 Boys refused to slip or

slide on their way to a gold medal perform-

ance.

Game 1 put them on the field against the

host Cumberland Cobras. Unfortunately

for the Cobras, they were no challenge for

the Raiders as the Raiders took a 5-0 lead

into the second half. As in the first, Russell

dominated at every position. They netted

two more for a 7-0 win.

The second game was against the 98

Meteors from Sudbury. The Meteors came

out flying and the Raiders found them-

selves down 2-0 early in the first half.

However, Coach Alec Long settled the

boys down and told them to play their

game. The boys did just that and scored

three times to take a 3-2 lead into the sec-

ond half. That was it for the Meteors as

Russell added two more for a convincing 5-

2 win.

Game 3 would decide the first place

team in the round robin. The 2-0 Raiders

were up against the 2-0 Nepean City Storm.

The Storm scored in the first two minutes

on a penalty kick and once again the

Raiders would have to come from behind if

they were to win. As the first half wound

down, Russell scored twice and the Storm

found themselves down 2-1. The second

half showed no change in the score and

Russell went into the semi-finals seeded

first overall.

Russell once again faced the 98 Meteors

in the semi-final. This time Russell found

the back of the net early and often. With a

4-0 lead after the first half, the Raiders

played a defensive second half and allowed

the Meteors no shots on net. The Raiders

added a late goal and headed to the finals

with a decisive 5-0 win.

The gold medal final pitted the Raiders

against their division rivals from Almonte.

Coach Alec told the boys it was their game

to win and to leave it all on the field. The

boys started well, but Almonte scored on a

penalty kick for an early 1-0 lead. The

opposition continued to press with their

best player, #19, ruling the field. Coach

Alec assigned one member of our defence

to shadow #19 and that was the beginning

of the end for Almonte.

The Raiders scored before the half-time

whistle leaving the score tied 1-1. With #19

no longer a factor in the game the Raiders

opened up the field and took control.

Midway through the second half they

scored their second goal of the game for a

2-1 lead. Almonte responded with a strong

offensive push, but another Russell goal

put the game away. The Russell Raiders

defeated Almonte 3-1 to take the U13 Boys

Tier 2 Championship.

It was a great weekend for soccer and the

players and parents would like to thank

Coach Alec Long, Assistant Coach Bruce

Bennett, Trainer Dan Byrne and Manager

Christine Belliveau for their time and effort.

The team would also like to thank

"Appointments Online" for their sponsorship.

GLOUCESTER - What teamwork! That was the key to a very suc-

cessful season for the Gloucester Peewee Lacrosse team, comprised

of 13 skilled and committed boys, four of which come from Russell.

With great coaching, the players learned to play the game as a

team and also had fun doing it. The real amazing thing is how this

group of first and second year players have bonded, coming together

in such a short amount of time.

The team played very well only losing two games this season, fin-

ishing in second place overall heading into the championship game

on Saturday, June 25. The boys hit the field for a great show of skill

and sportsmanship, coming out the victors with an impressive 5-2

win and sealing their first place fate.

Congrats 'Marshmallows' on a terrific run!

RUSSELL - Wednesday, June 29 was a

night to remember for Russell High School's

Graduating Class of 2011. Hosted by RHS

teacher, Sean Addis, the evening included a

list of guest speakers including Russell

Township Mayor JP St-Pierre, Glengarry-

Prescott-Russell MPP Jean Marc Lalonde,

Upper Canada District School Board repre-

sentative Terry Simzer and RHS Principal

Jeff Curtis, each sharing their words of con-

gratulations and encouragement for future

success for all the grads.

Speeches aside, the real stars the ceremo-

ny were the graduates themselves as they sat

rather impatiently as each of their names

were called to receive their high school

diplomas, with impromptu loud whoops and

applause sounding out as the students took

to centre stage.

Special awards were handed out to

deserving recipients in front of a packed

auditorium of proud parents, grandparents,

siblings, and friends, capping off an extraor-

dinary year of higher learning in only the

fourth time in the history of RHS that a com-

mencement ceremony has been held at the

school.

Before sending off the graduates into the

great wide world of post-graduate studies

for some, and the job market for others,

Valedictorian Jamie Cochrans, a unanimous

choice by both students and faculty,

addressed his peers. Paying tribute to his

parents, former RHS principal Brian

Cochrane and his wife Laurie, who he con-

sidered his "role models", he thanked his

whole family for shaping him into a young

man with the fortitude to meet the chal-

lenges of life head on. Jamie also spoke

fondly of his years at Russell High School

and encouraged his fellow graduates to

never forget the memories of their high

school years and to apply the lessons

learned at their alma mater, establishing and

meeting goals that will help each of them to

live successful lives beyond the walls of

RHS.

Speaking with The Villager before the

ceremony began, the student council mem-

ber, track athlete, and budding acting star

said that he wouldn’t change his time at

RHS for anything. "Russell High School is

great because it is within such a tight-knit

community with terrific teachers, fantastic

coaches, and wonderful students. The teach-

ers are second to none, very encouraging. I

am really going to miss it here." While the

summer is beckoning him to spend time

hanging out with friends, Jamie is already

thinking about the fall and Queen's

University where he is planning to pursue a

Bachelor of Business Commerce.

For the rest of the graduates, as they say,

"the sky is the limit" and the future looks

bright for them all. Congratulations to each

of the Russell High School grads and special

award recipients. Enjoy your summer and

good luck out there!
