The Silver Queen Mine at Murphys Point Provincial Park is the only restored mine offering tours within the Ontario Parks system, and it is perhaps the only such example of a small-scale mine that the public can tour in the province. Nearly 200 people tour the mine each week in the summer to get a taste of the economic and social engine that made this area run in the early 1900s. But local mica mining history stretches back to 1860, when the mica mining at Pike Lake was first recorded.

BY LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@perthcourier.com Eight people were injured and two were airlifted to an Ottawa hospital after a head-on collision on a rural road on Saturday. OPP said two cars struck each other head-on on a curved portion of Drummond Concession 1 just east of Spence Road in Drummond/North Elmsley Township. The crash happened at 8:13 p.m. The people in the two vehicles included a two-year-old boy, a 19-year-old man and 19-year-old woman, two 20-year-old women, two 21-year-old men and a 24year-old man. Police couldn’t say which of the people were airlifted to the Ottawa Civic Hospital. The roadway was closed for several hours and technical traffic collision investigators were called in to assist with the investigation. OPP detachment commander Insp. Gerry Salisbury said charges are pending, but police are waiting for the results of a blood-alcohol analysis from the forensics unit. An update on the condition of the injured people was not available at press time.

FOODSMITHS 2010 SUMMER TASTE FAIR

While meeting a prince was certainly a highlight of his trip to Scotland, Perth Mayor John Fenik said it was the schools across the pond that really impacted him. Fenik and five others from Perth represented the town at our twinned Scottish city’s 800th anniversary celebrations from June 28 to July 9. Fenik was honoured to hobnob with royalty (the Earl of Wessex, Prince Edward, who is the brother of Prince Charles), but Fenik said his strongest memories of the trip were the cultural ties he made with other mayors, as well as the unique setup of schools in Scotland. “In Scotland, when they build schools, they build them with the community in mind. Schools are the centre of activity,” Fenik said, describing how schools are tur ned into gathering spaces for the community by integrating services like pools and other resources into the school. That example could be copied here in Perth, particularly because Per th and District Collegiate Institute is on the list to be rebuilt in the next few years. That, combined with Perth and district’s recreational needs as defined in a feasibility study completed last summer, could create the perfect recipe for a Scottish-style school/community hub, Fenik said. The mayor plans to bring the idea to town council and speak to Jim Bradley, the minister of

municipal affairs, about applying the recreational feasibility study to such a project. “I thought, ‘Wait a minute, this is an opportunity,’” Fenik said. “I think that’s the way to go.” Bringing back the best ideas after seeing them in action is the main benefit of going on cultural exchange trips, Fenik said. “There is always something different that you bring back,” Fenik said. “Anytime you travel to a different county, I think you always pick up something that’s unique. You bring that back to your community and you kind of enrich it.” The delegation from the Town of Perth was also able to share ideas with a contingent of leaders from other municipalities from around the globe. Members of the local delegation were able to connect with mayors and dignitaries from Aschaffenburg, Ger many; Haikou, China; Cognac, France; Bydgoszcz, Poland and Pskov, Russia. “It was like a mini United Nations,” Fenik said, adding that it is “vitally important” that town officials set up links and friendships with international figures. Fenik described Perth and Kinross as a larger version of the Town of Perth, from the Tay River to the type of stone masonry that provides the visual backdrop for both areas. Many of the Scottish locals Fenik spoke to even had ties to the Perth and Lanark, Ont. area. “It felt like home in a lot of ways,” Fenik said. Seeing the historic roots of the See ‘A Scottish’, Pg.

Mica festival marks 150th anniversary preters will welcome visitors. Archibald has been commissioned to write and record collections on the natural and cultural history of parks. His work on Great Lakes marine heritage Spirit of the Inland Sea has been featured at National and Provincial Parks as well as the Blyth Festival and his interactive live performances in parks across Ontario have become camper favourites. T he festival continues on Sunday, Aug. 1 with activities for the whole family at the Lally Homestead (located on Lally Road partway between Narrows Lock Road and the main park entrance) from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. In addition to children’s oldtime games, crafts, traditional trade demonstrations and more at the Lally Homestead, visitors can travel the 2.5 kilometres down the trail to the mine and learn about its history from guided interpreters along the way. A traditional miners’ meal will be served at the bunkhouse near the mine, with fresh corn on the cob, maple-baked beans and oldfashioned lemonade on the menu. The festival is made possible by a grant from the Department of Canadian Heritage Building Communities Through Arts and Heritage Funding Anniversaries program. To get to Murphys Point from Perth, drive south on Rideau Ferry Road and turn right at Elm Grove Road. Continue 2 km past the main park entrance to find the Lally Homestead.

Jeff Muzzi, Renfrew County forestry manager, shows the size of a common wild parsnip plant. The noxious weeds are much more rampant throughout the area than giant hogweed, which is also causing concern. Officials warn residents to steer clear of the plants.

Weed expert Jeff Muzzi insists people do their homework on the giant hogweed plant so they can identify and differentiate it from another noxious plant running rampant throughout the area – wild parsnip. “Everyone is talking about giant hogweed, but there should be as much noise about this stuff – it’s all over the place,” said Muzzi, Renfrew County’s forestry manager. “It’s the ﬁrst cousin of giant hogweed and has the same kind of sap.” He said there are four hospital visits a day across Renfrew County due to exposure to wild parsnip. “A big problem is people whipper-snipping and hitting the weed,” he said. Wild parsnip has also been spotted locally, the Lanark County public works department conﬁrmed. The plants resemble a cross between goldenrod and wild dill. “This looks nothing like hogweed – it’s way smaller and yellow,” Muzzi said. “And there isn’t a place in the county that doesn’t have it. But no one seems concerned about it. They should be. We have a lot bigger problem with wild parsnip.” Muzzi said about one-third of the calls he’s received come back to the wild parsnip plant, not giant hogweed. “There’s so much of it (wild parsnip), it’s a lost cause to try and get rid of it. The big thing is awareness. Know what it looks like and how to deal with it,” said Muzzi.

Westport resident Ray Scott said he sees it in the ditches along Scotch Line between Westport and Perth. Scott contacted the Courier in hopes of warning people that the effects of contact with wild parsnip are similarly unpleasant as the effects of wild hogweed. “Hogweed isn’t nearly as common as wild parsnip, and from what I understand, it’s just about as bad.” Lanark County weed inspector Tom Guindon conﬁrmed that there is a large amount of wild parsnip in the area, which has been the case for a number of years.

The silvery fragments that form a pathway leading to the mine are what’s left of a vibrant operation that provided sheets of the thin, transparent metallic mineral for lantern and oven windows (called “isinglass”) and later, for insulating material for electrical wiring. It can withstand 800-degree Celsius temperatures, making it a perfect substitute for shatter-prone glass. The Silver Queen wasn’t the largest mica mine in the area (it spans a depth of 43 metres). It wasn’t the mine that was recorded to have operated the longest or extracted the most mica. But it is a prime (and perhaps the only) example of the type of mine that proliferated in the area around the turn of the 19th century. In fact, Murphys Point naturalist Tobi Kiesewalter says this area was considered to be in the mining capital of the world at one point. Mining grew out of the tough geological reality of being situat-

Town of Perth and taking in the arts and culture in Scotland will help Shellee Evans, director of community services for the town, as she plan’s Perth’s 200th birthday celebrations, she said. “The dele g ation to Per th, Scotland provided me with a tremendous opportunity to better understand the Town of Perth’s

historic roots, build a stronger bond with our namesake’s community leaders, and to foster ideas that will assist us in planning Perth, Ontario’s 200th anniversary celebrations in 2016,” Evans said. Fenik said that Dr. John Hulbert, the Provost of Perth and Kinross in Scotland, was very appreciative of the gifts

the local delegation presented to its Scottish counterparts: a two-by-three-foot “carved quilt” made of six different Canadian hardwoods by local wood carver Michael Nault on behalf of the town, and a bowl formed from stone mined in Lanark Highlands by local artist John Schweighardt on behalf of Lanark County.

What to do If anyone does come into contact with either giant hogweed or wild parsnip, Muzzi says the only antidote is to immediately wash the skin thoroughly with soap and water and avoid exposing the area to sunlight. If the skin becomes irritated, medical attention should be sought. Livestock and pets that have been in contact with the plant can also spread to sap. Anyone who feels they may have seen giant hogweed – or those looking for more information about the plant – is encouraged to contact the invasive species hotline hosted by the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, in conjunction with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources.

A depth of mining history

ed on top of the Canadian Shield. Little or no topsoil and exposed rock made farming difficult, so farmers found a different type of harvest – minerals. (Ironically, one of those minerals, apatite, is phosphorus-based and sold as fertilizer to other farmers). Prospector Rinaldo McConnell of Ottawa established the mine in 1903 and called it the Silver Queen – likely a reference to the colour of the mica. It the mine’s peak, in 1908, it was operating year-round and was staffed by up to 28 men who lived in a bunkhouse on the site. The mine was ignored and filled with water from annual flooding until the 1980s, when park staff decided to pump the water out and open the mine for public tours in 1983. Mining engineers rehabilitated the mine and return annually to test it for safety. Inside the mine, which is much colder than the outdoor temperature, different-coloured minerals streak through the rock. Black, metallic mica is prevalent, but so is apatite, which is a light green colour, and marbled gray and white feldspar, which is used in producing pottery. While the mine lies silent most of the time these days, having the site brimming with people for anniversary celebrations should give a sense of what life was like during “mining fever.” “It affected the social fabric of the area,” Kiesewalter said. “There was a real community spirit here.”

While the festival itself is free, visitors will need to pay the dayuse fee for the park ($14 per car or $11 for seniors). The anniversary celebrations will also leave a lasting mark on the mine site: part of the grant will be used to purchase and install a boom hoist mimicking the type of equipment that was used to remove rocks from the mine. The boom hoist is expected to be installed in the fall.

Medical clinic reno gets a boost BY PERTH COURIER STAFF A sizeable donation from the Perth and District Community Foundation is ensuring renovations to a Perth medical centre can be completed. The foundation recently gave $20,000 towards the project to expand office space and make room for two new physicians in the medial centre attached to the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital. The renovations have been ongoing since April and will cost about $600,000 in total. The size of the wing will not change, but the renovations will create more space for exam rooms and the addition of space

for two doctors to occupy in the future. The new rooms will be equipped and ready for new doctors to “turn the key,” move in and begin working – an attractive feature that will draw physicians to the area, said Brian Allen, vice president of finances and support services for the hospital. “Without question, this project will be a key incentive in recruiting new physicians,” hospital CEO Todd Stepanuik stated in a press release. The $20,000 grant was made possible, in part, through a donation the Perth and District Community Foundation received in 2008 in collaboration with the Town of Perth’s physician recruitment initiative.

Focusing proactively on residents’ top concerns led to an almost 30 per cent rise in the number of drug-related incidents recorded in Perth in 2009, and a similar-sized drop in youth mischief. Along with traffic concerns and speeding, drugs and youth mischief were the three issues the Perth Police Service decided to focus on when creating its business plan in 2005. Focusing on those areas has led to results, as shown in the service’s 2009 annual report, says Chief Pat Capello. While the overall number of charges laid in town went down three per cent (from 569 in 2008 to 552 in 2009), Controlled Drugs and Substances Act charges rose 28.6 per cent over the year (from 14 charges in 2008 to 18 charges in 2009). “We had some proactive efforts with regards to drug use in town,” Capello said. “We were clearly targeting drug users and increasing warrants for certain residences.” Capello said the higher numbers show that the proactive focus encouraged by the community has been successful. “It’s the stuff you go digging for,” he said. Charges against youth went down 18.4 per cent (from 38 in 2008 to 31 in 2009), thanks in part to the police service’s crime prevention programming in schools, as well as enforcement that has been done in the past. Street patrols are a further deterrent to youth crime, Capello said. The local police service’s clearance rate for solving crimes is also something to be proud of, Capello said. The weighted clearance rate (taking the severity of the crime into consideration) is 56.2 per cent overall, and 95.3 per cent

for violent offenses. According to Statistics Canada, the national weighted clearance rate for police services in Canada was 37.6 in 2008. Although Capello has been with the Perth Police Service for 25 years, 2009 marked his first year as chief. Capello said he continues to follow the model laid out by the previous chief, Claude Brett. “I’m just building upon the model and moving it forward,” Capello said.

Targeting drug crimes The focus on preventing and targeting drug-related crimes will continue, Capello said. While the Perth Police Service was not initially asked to become involved in the Lanark Countywide Municipal Drug Strategy Network when it began last fall, Insp. Derek Dewey has been involved with the committee for about six months. “We are definitely involved in it,” Capello said. “We didn’t know about it at first – initially there was some confusion.” Perth drew criticism from other members of the drug strategy network during its initial meetings in February. Perth councillors and town staff were too overburdened last fall to take on another official committee of council, Mayor John Fenik said at the time. Now that the network is up and running, it is time for Perth to get involved, Fenik said. “It seems to be working in other parts of the county,” he said. “More and more, as I review the police service report, thefts and assaults that happen are directly related to drugs.”

Paying for policing The total cost of operating expenditures for the police service in 2009 was $2,749,928, which is paid for by a combination of municipal policing grants,

fines, licences, cost-sharing and taxpayer dollars. The largest portion of budget costs – 71 per cent – comes from salaries and wages. Interdepartmental charges (for services billed to other town departments, such as accounting) account for the next-largest amount at 14 per cent. Salaries and wages were budgeted at $1,845,138 but actually cost $1,942,660 in 2009, largely due to a new collective agreement with the Perth Police Association. The contract included an additional $79,000 for salaries. The contract negotiations in 2009 also tripled the cost of the town police service’s contracted services. Contracted services cost $98,489 in 2009, while only $19,056 was spent in contracted services in 2009. The police service had budgeted $31,064 for contracted services in 2009, but that amount ballooned due to the length of contract negotiations and the amount of legal advice required, Capello said. Operational revenue for the police service was $264,259 in 2009, up from $131,679 the year before thanks to additional federal grants ($70,000 over two years)

Crime numbers in Perth • Total violations: down three per cent (from 569 charges in 2008 to 552 in 2009) • Total adults charged: up 9.3 per cent (from 118 in 2008 to 129 in 2009) • Total youths charged: down 18.4 per cent (from 38 in 2008 to 31 in 2009) • General mischief: down 26.8 per cent (from 157 in 2008 to 115 in 2009) • Criminal Code traffic violations: down 6.3 per cent (from 32 in 2008 to 30 in 2009) • Liquor Act violations: up 10.5 per cent (from 76 in 2008 to 84 in 2009)

UCDSB trustees approve $335-million budget BY PERTH COURIER STAFF

board-funded Ready 2 Learn programs will cost the board about $2 million. The UCDSB received $200,000 from the Ministry of Education to allow it to offer fullday kindergarten at the 11 chosen schools, but the board has had to pour additional funds in order to make the expanded kindergarten program possible, MacPherson said. “But we’re hoping that it will help us retain our competitive edge,” by encouraging families to enroll their children in the public board for kindergarten, MacPherson said. The board has planned for 325 full-time equivalent educational

assistants (EAs), down from about 380 last year. That was due to a $2.6million reduction in the funding the board receives for those positions, MacPherson said. But the board has flexibility to hire more EAs, and the board will now have 25 early childhood educators (ECEs) on staff to support the early-learning programs. David Thomas, director of education, referenced the board’s CREW (Communication, Equitable Distribution of Resources, Educational Programs and Wellness) Strategic Plan as ambitious, and said it will take UCDSB students to even higher results. “Our overarching goal is to

achieve a 90 per cent graduation rate, and some of our high schools are already there,” he stated in a press release. Board chair Greg Pietersma says the balanced budget supports the board’s CREW strategic plan. “Our strategic plan is moving our board from an industrial-aged education system to a knowledgedriven, meta thinking, digitally organized board of education that is oriented and disposed to having our students ready for the future, ready for jobs and careers that haven’t been created yet,” he stated. The UCDSB is the largest school board in the eastern half

of eastern Ontario and 47 per cent of the total student population in the area attends schools in the public board. This past school term, the board created five new Grade-7to-12 schools. The board is also building two new high schools, one in Vankleek Hill (Vankleek Hill Collegiate Institute) and the other in Kemptville (North Grenville District High School). Perth and District Collegiate Institute is the next high school on the list to be rebuilt. MacPherson said the board hopes to receive notice of funding from the Ministry of Education within the next fouryear term of the board trustees.

Trustees with the Upper Canada District School Board approved a $335.5-million budget for the 201011 fiscal year during a special board meeting last week. The budget marked the elimination of the last of the board’s deficit, said local trustee Bill MacPherson. “Next year, we’re going in free and clear.” The board will spend $214.9 million on classroom expenditures this year, including teachers’ salaries, staff development, textbooks, and classroom supplies – that’s more than $8 million higher than last year. The costs of non-classroom expenses, including the costs for administration, principal and vice-principal salaries, school operations and transportation will be roughly $891,000 less than last year, at $98.65 million. Costs associated with principals and vice-principals will be roughly $165,000 less than last year, at $15.35 million. The board decided to strike a staffing review committee to examine all staffing lines. The board will also receive monthly reports from its special education advisory committee on the deployment of educational assistants. All-day kindergarten (Early Learning Program) will be introduced this fall in 22 classes at 11 schools (including Maple Grove Public School in Lanark village), but the board has also created a new Ready to Learn (R2L) program, offering 37 playbased kindergarten classes at another 10 schools, including The June 28 marked the graduation of the final Grade 8 class that attended school at St. John Elementary School on Wilson Street.

Town mourns former chief administrative officer

BY PERTH COURIER STAFF

The Town of Perth mourned a career civil servant last week, whose longtime dedication shaped the town. Tom Kent, former chief administrative officer for the town, died of cancer on July 10. Former mayor, Lana March, worked with Kent for 11 years and gave the eulogy at Kent’s funeral last week. “Everyone talks about how beautiful Perth is, but I don’t

think people realize how he helped shape what we have today,” she said. Kent worked at the Brown Shoe factory on Sherbrooke Street before then-clerk administrator, John Mather, to work as a junior secretary to Mather’s secretary. Kent was groomed to take over Mather’s position when he retired in the late 1970s. March said that during his time at the town, Kent mentored many staff members and politicians, including March herself.

“Many people attribute their own career successes to his guidance and his willingness to delegate responsibilities to them in order to develop their own skills and strengths by taking charge of projects,” March said. “Tom could do this because he was comfortable with himself and got pleasure from seeing others succeed. Personally, I learned skills from Tom which I have continuously used in many facets of my life.” March described Kent as some-

one who had a vast knowledge of Perth and cared deeply for the town. “Tom was very hands-on, and every Sunday morning he would do his drive about the town looking for signs of things which needed attention. On Monday morning, he would make sure that the problem was fixed,” March said. “He intimately knew Perth and the citizens, but in a quiet understated way.” While Kent was part of the “old guard” of municipal affairs,

he was open to change and new ways of doing things. When he was introduced to the computer, he helped develop the first spreadsheet in eastern Ontario to calculate the mill rate. Kent is one of two long-serving staff members to be honoured by having a room at town hall named after him. On a personal level, March said many people commented on Kent’s infectious smile and sense of humour.

EDITORIAL OUR OPINION

Stewart Park Festival was music to the ears

hile throngs of people headed into Ottawa to enjoy the last weekend of the Cisco Ottawa Bluesfest, it was nice to see so many people travel to Perth to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Stewart Park Festival. Families made their way to Perth from all over the Ottawa region to enjoy performances from a wide variety of talented musicians including the Spades, Mighty Popo, the Arrogant Worms, the Souljazz Orchestra and Rick Fines, to name a few. A combination of graceful and energetic dance performances dazzled large crowds at the main stage with well choreographed performances, while other visitors cooled by off by taking a dip in the Tay River, when it wasn’t occupied by hundreds of rubber ducks wading their way to the finish line. Children’s playful screams could be heard throughout the park as they enjoyed various workshops and activity stations. Hungry visitors were offered a piece of Stewart Park birthday cake on Saturday, and a brunch on Sunday, to quiet their grumbling stomachs. Performances from more than a dozen talented artists in a beautiful venue, workshops and activity tents, Sunday brunch and a birthday cake, and all for the low, low admission fee of zero dollars. For 20 years, the organizers of the Stewart Park Festival, with assistance from generous sponsors, have been able to provide an annual celebration that anyone can attend. During a time when the economy is fragile, and ticket prices for many musical events are unaffordable for the majority of the public, it is nice to know that there are people who care enough about tradition, and a celebration of the arts, to organize events that everyone can enjoy. A tremendous amount of time and effort goes into making an event of this magnitude a success, so it was nice to see so many people come out and enjoy the festivities. Hopefully the time-honoured tradition of a Stewart Park Festival that is free for all will continue for another 20 years. Tell us what you think. Email letters to editor@perthcourier.com.

Be the first to correctly identify the location or item in the picture by emailing editor@perthcourier.com with the subject line, “Local Landmark,” and your name will be printed in next week’s paper! Last week’s landmark was correctly identified by Tracy Pennett as part of the accessible play structure on Mill Street, near the old outdoor swimming pool on the Tay River. This week’s landmark is a workshop relic located where critters are now more common than tools.

LETTERS

Prison farms have rehabilitative value Dear Editor: Though most of the feedback from my letter “Wake up and smell the manure” in the July 8 Courier was enthusiastically positive, some people seem to see the support of prison farms as being “soft on crime,” bleeding heart support of criminals etc. This is due to a misunderstanding, I think. Imagine that your kid, or grandchild or one of their friends does something stupid and gets in trouble with the law. In the United States, if this stupid thing involves drugs then there is a mandatory prison sentence as part of that country’s “war on drugs.” If Canada adopts the proposed “tough on crime” legislation currently being pushed by the Harper government, which mimics the U.S.’s “war on drugs,” then many more people will be going to prison for mandated jail terms instead of the current system of having judges use their discretionary power to sentence. Already we are seeing gross overcrowding in our provincial facilities as more and more people, particularly young people, are being incarcerated for crimes that might have instead been ordered into mandatory alcohol drug treatment, community service etc. If their sentence happened to be mandated at two years or more, then they would be fed into the federal penitentiary system with men serving time for really

serious crimes like murder and other violent crimes. We don’t have accurate statistical studies of the rehab value of various prison programs but anecdotal evidence (and common sense) tells us that languishing in a prison cell with nothing to do in violent and overcrowded conditions, being fed cardboard food shipped in from who knows where, is a surefire way to increase violence and antisocial behavior in those who already had those behaviors and to create them in those who did not. On release, these men would be more dangerous and a definite public safety risk. On the other hand, stories abound in the rehabilitative value of these men working on the prison farms. Anyone who has cared for an animal or a vegetable garden knows the value of those activities. There is a sense of accomplishment from growing good food, caring for animals and collecting their eggs or milk for the table to feed yourself and your fellows. Violence decreases, compassion and empathy for one’s fellow creatures increase and these men are released with lowered levels of anger that anger management classes sometimes fail to do. Isn’t the fact that these men have lost their freedom and ability to make choices of where they will go and what they’ll do for however many years they’ve been incarcerated enough punishment? Does increasing

that punishment to levels that increase anger, violence and criminal behavior that will put us all in danger when they are released really make any sense? These are human beings, many of whom have already come from less than ideal circumstances. What if one of them was that difficult kid who sat at your dinner table last Sunday? Wouldn’t you rather, if he did go to prison, that he had the chance to learn about hard work in something that fed people and gave him some pride in his ability to contribute that might carry over into his life upon release? Or would you rather his life be wasted being warehoused in a super prison with less and less chance of breaking out of a dangerous and tragic cycle of crime and punishment? We could ask the families of thousands of men in just that situation in the US and also ask their victims how they feel about the two choices. If we don’t make our feelings on this and other matters clearly heard, and even when we do, we need to make sure that our government acts in our best interests and doesn’t try and sell us a rotten fish, dressed up as a gourmet dinner, making us all sick and the few people who run these super prisons rich. Wake up, folks and smell the BS that’s emanating from Parliament Hill. Susan Quipp, Perth

don’t remember being bratty about summer boredom when I was a kid. In fact, I don’t remember being bored much before the end of August. There always seemed to be something to do – whether it was playing with neighbourhood kids or reading a book. I remember our family camping trips and travelling and the things that used to keep me happy during long car rides waaaaay before portable DVDs and Nintendo DSIs. Indeed, if I wasn’t fighting with my brother or checking out the scenery, then I was adding to my licence plate collection in my notebook. Yes, I would record all the licence plate numbers I saw on our travels. This was particularly exciting if they were out of province or – gasp! – out of country. I had a list of hundreds. I’m willing to admit it’s possible I was a strange child who was easily amused. Now that I am a parent I sometimes think my children are little space aliens and I wonder if my parents felt the same way about my brother and me. Or maybe it’s just a different world today. Something I find about kids – and maybe it’s mine in particular – but as soon as you do something “exciting” it becomes an expectation that something “exciting” will happen every day. This turns into a pester fest (“What are we doing today, Mom? What are we doing today?”) that occasionally makes me wonder if it would simply be easier to raise them in a mushroom-like environment – in the dark and feeding them lots of…well, you know. Just kidding! Sort of. Boychild, for example, is at an

Stephanie

GRAY Past Deadline age where it seems to take a lot to enthral him, which I find odd considering he takes great delight in talking about gastrointestinal emissions with his sister. I’ve been living with this kid for more than eight years now and I still sometimes have no idea if he is ever really impressed by anything. Friends of ours invited us for a visit that included a ferry ride to see some giant windmills, a trip to a splash pad and a meal at a restaurant where the chef cooks in front of you and juggles eggs and sets fire to things. Both of the kids had a good time, but their favourite part of the day was frolicking in the hot tub back at our friends’ place. (Scratches head.) I guess that’s sort of like the cliché of the child enjoying the box more than the toy that was in it. Another friend of mine sometimes comments that kids today seem to need things to be really “whammy” before they are

remotely impressed. Whammy often means expensive and far away and filled with constant activity. I guess it’s hard for me to understand because if you change my scenery and park me beside a shoreline where I can stare into the water for hours and look for critters I am perfectly content but, then again, I am that easily amused person… .(Nice girl, but a bit odd.) Oh, I know, there are a handful of very simple explanations for why kids are this way – assuming it’s even considered to be a bad thing. Maybe we’re supposed to be saving up for trips into space or month-long journeys on ocean-going vessels or mountain climbing or backpacking across the universe or whatever. “They” say kids’ brains are affected by all the flickering lights in televisions and video games and, thusly, they now require constant stimulation. Or maybe it’s just that they see too much about what is out there in the world through media and are, as a result, underwhelmed when real life shows up live and in person (I know sometimes I feel that way). Or maybe they just need to get used to the idea that life has exciting times and not-soexciting times. Around these-here parts we are not likely to have every moment scheduled with some sort of whammy activity. For that matter, we are not likely to have every moment scheduled – period. After all, in my day (uphill both ways) we used to collect licence plate numbers in a notebook and we liked it. We LOVED it! (Nice girl, but a little odd.)

Workers deserve to be treated equitably Dear Editor: I was not surprised to read the Courier’s report of the organizing of Lanark Highlands staff with the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (“Lanark Highlands employees unionize,” The Perth Courier, July 15). As a resident of Lanark Highlands, I am pleased to see that our employees are taking steps to ensure their wages, benefits and working conditions will be comparable with surrounding unionized townships. At the Lanark Highlands

budget review meetings held in May of 2010, the mayor indicated that all staff would be provided with a three per cent monetary increase. This would have been a reasonable increase and enable our workers to work and live in our community with dignity. Sadly, in response to a vocal lobby group and a few nervous councillors, that promised three per cent increase was reduced to a on per cent increase in the final budget. Despite this frugality, the chief administrative officer was reportedly provided with a handsome nine per cent compensatory increase; no

wonder the workers feel they are treated inequitably. Clearly, workers are recognizing that unions are more important than ever as critical front line staff are the first ones attacked when weak councils look for budget cuts. Rather than attack staff wages, Lanark Highlands council would been more productive to direct staff to recover some of the current $880,000 in delinquent taxes in the township to afford annual wages adjustments for all its workers. Cameron Johnstone, Lanark Highlands

Fresh ideas come Your at all ages opinion counts

Dear Editor: Re: “Council run at age 89 is ‘wrong,’” letter to the editor from Olwen Romano, The Perth Courier, July 15. Mr. Romano states that Coun. Eric Devlin, 89, seeking his seventh term as a Perth councillor, is too old: “If Perth is to be considered a progressive community, younger councillors with new ideas are called for,” he says. The suggestion that only younger councillors with fresh ideas are suited to the council chamber is tactless and short-sighted. A diversity of age is a benefit to any group, families included, in which the historical memory of our elders teaches us life experience, knowledge elevated to wisdom, and humour too, from times past. I have observed Eric Devlin at council meetings and admired his ability, on occasions when his own preferred proposal has been

voted down, to accede with good grace to the wishes of the majority and move on to the next item. He is alert, high spirited, and also remains actively involved in Legion and other organizations. Mr. Romano ponders the idea of term limits and I am generally a supporter of this policy. Justification for term limits can be found at all levels of government, to politicians of any age who add no value, and who seek continual re-election for their pensions or other selfserving reasons. But the drawback of term limits is that occasionally they must be applied to good people who are making a valuable contribution. This would be the case with Eric Devlin. He is a good councillor and a fine representative in a historic town that promotes itself as being “aged to perfection.” Tonia Kelly, Perth

Camera Corner magical to see how it can eliminate reflections from water, for example. To attach it to your camera, your lens must be threaded to take the filter. You could just hold it in front of the lens, but that would be a bit awkward. Noon is usually the worst time to take photos, due to the harshness of the sun. Many scenes will have blown highlights (areas that are way too bright) as the camera struggles to capture the huge range of tones from dark to light. If you can find shade for your people shots, for example, you’ll be much happier with your results and your subjects won’t be squinting into the sun. Try changing the white balance to “shade” or “cloud” to get rid of blue casts. Early morning or late afternoon is hugely better for your scenic stuff as the light is softer and much more appealing. Tripods are photo accessories that people love to hate. That’s usually because they bought a cheapie piece of junk or a good one that is far too heavy to carry any distance. Expect to pay quite

h, those lazy, hazy crazy days of summer. Time to relax, barbecue, visit friends and take holidays – and shoot lots and lots of pictures, of course! Here are a few tips to help with your summer photography. It’s a good idea to travel light. I’m constantly amazed at the huge kits some folks lug wherever they go. They must carry everything photographic they own and that’s not a lot of fun in 30-degree weather. Maybe a pro has to have more stuff with him or her to be ready for any scenario, but most of us can get by just fine with a lighter load. Be careful in beach locations (sand and salt water) and also in very dusty regions (think deserts). Sand and sea can wreak havoc with your camera and lenses. If you have a DSLR, don’t change lenses under adverse conditions; it’s better to plan ahead and take just one lens to those kinds of places. It’s very depressing to hear a horrible grinding noise as you try to focus your camera because fine sand has crept into the barrel of the lens. It’s an expensive repair. Filters are pieces of glass that you screw onto the front of your lens. In the days of film, photographers carried many filters to cover all sorts of situations and to correct lighting conditions. With digital, many problems can be corrected in whatever editing program you use, such as Photoshop Elements, so it’s no longer as important to own a bagful of filters. There is one, however, that is very useful – the polarizer. That’s the filter which makes skies more blue and removes glare from things. It has two glass elements and all you do is rotate the outer one until you get the effect you want. It’s quite

The president of the Ottawa chapter of the Canada Council for the Blind (CCB), Theresa Dupuis (in orange), and her sister, Rita Boivin (seated with the dog), joined a group of blind visitors who travelled to Perth to tour the Round Garden for the Blind last week. The accessible garden, located at the Lanark County administrative building on Sunset Boulevard, attracts many visitors who or blind or have other accessibility constraints, but the CCB was a particularly large group.

oh man. I didn’t expect to host someone who sings show tunes at 1 a.m.!” At my lovely billeter’s house I reside with four cats and a dog, which I really enjoy; however, as I review my scenes in the basement each night, all four cats perch themselves on my bed, looking at me askance as I shriek my lines in a Cockney accent. And when I practise my song, all of a sudden all four start to simultaneously yowl along. Geez, everyone’s a critic. Our days are spent trying to figure out where martini shakers go on stage, walking around in shoes that belong to the characters we’re trying to become and going through more emotions in one day than most people go through in a year. Our director (and artistic producer) Laurel Smith had the dream of starting this theatre festival

20 years ago. Each day on my way to rehearsal, I think about that. Imagine being chosen to take part in someone’s dream? As I look around at the talented and giving souls working on this play, I sometimes think, “I wonder what I did to be so lucky as to experience this place and these people this summer?” Natural disasters aside, we are all thrilled to be in Perth this summer, where we’re on a quest to make new friends, buy up as many antiques as we can fit in our suitcases and make sure the Classic Theatre Festival becomes one of the many things to brag about in Perth for years to come. So if you see us about town talking to ourselves, assume we

are just trying to remember our lines. And if by chance we’re singing, feel free to hum along. Don’t worry about singing out of key – the four cats at my billeter’s place certainly don’t give a hoot about it.

“What I love about the Perth Farmers’ Market – the sights and sounds of summer envelope you in the work of local producers of vegetables, fruits, baking, crafts and music. When we started looking for a new home in Perth three years ago, one of the attractions was the Farmers” Market. The friendliness of the vendors and the excellent quality of product now makes a visit a new Saturday morning tradition. Every market day, a new crop awaits. Lots of organic greens make our salads a delicious experience. Herbs, meats of all kinds, eggs, homemade bread, preserves, sausages, cookies, honey, maple syrup and granola are among the many culinary treats for your pantry. A handmade hammock would guarantee relaxation on your porch or at the cottage. Each week a new musical artist serenades you as you experience all that is the market. The market, a changing experience every week ... but the friendliness is always there. ” Linda Zeisner

The first benefit night at Perth’s Classic Theatre Festival was held in collaboration with the Rotary clubs of Kemptville and Perth to support the End Polio Now Campaign. The house was full with 140 Rotarians and friends as well as 50 other ticket holders to see Blithe Spirit, the riotous Noel Coward comedy, on July 14. “Over $2,000 was raised to help Rotary’s End Polio Now Campaign. Everyone enjoyed both the pre-play supper and the play” said David Batchelor, project co-ordinator for the Perth Rotary Club. “The evening was a great success and Rotary will definitely be first in line for the 2011 Classic Theatre Festival season as we continue to work towards the complete elimination of polio.” Thanks to Rotary and its partners, the number of polio cases has been slashed by more than 99 per cent, preventing five million instances of childhood paralysis and 250,000 deaths. When Rotary began its eradication work, polio infected more than 350,000 children annually. In 2008, fewer than 2,000 cases were reported worldwide. This year, there have only been three cases in Nigeria, and the World Health Organization expects that Africa will be free of polio in 18 months. “We’re very much inspired by the people we have met since moving to this area,” said Laurel

Gypsy moth munching in area more land in the two counties defoliated by the voracious moth larvae. “We really don’t have any indications that things are going to get better,” he stated. In order to control the moth infestation, the MNR submitted a number of control options to senior staff in the government for consideration. If one of the proposed options is approved, a decision to move ahead with control measures should be announced within the next three months.

“Anything that is decided will have to be carried out before next spring to do any good,” said Denys. Denys pointed out the stage of defoliation has passed and that the larvae have developed into adult moths. The first moth infestation was noted by the MNR in 1981 in an area covering 1,000 acres near Kaladar. As of early this week, a total area of more than 200,000 hectares has been infested by the Gypsy Moth.

Fifty sheep killed

outh Elmsley Township Council, meeting at a special session last Friday night, approved a resolution strictly enforcing a section of the Dog Tax and Livestock Protection Act of the Ontario Statutes in an effort to curb the slaughter of sheep in the township by dogs running at large. Some 50 sheep and lambs, valued at more than $1,000, have been killed by marauding dogs in the past week. The section of the act which will be rigidly enforced states: Any person can kill any dog found killing or injuring livestock, or found in a township or village between sunset and sunrise straying from premises where it is habitually kept, or found straying at any time and not under proper control upon premises where livestock are habitually kept. The council was quick to point out dogs could not be shot in the daytime if they were not injuring livestock. The largest wholesale slaughter occurred last Tuesday morning, when dogs killed 26 sheep on the farm of Thomas Balfe, RR 1, Smiths Falls. The mangled bodies of 23 of the animals were found floating in a quarry 50 feet from Hwy. 15 and four miles southwest of Smiths Falls.

PPUC manager dies unexpectedly Indicative of the high esteem in which he was held by a wide circle of friends and acquaintances in Perth and surrounding district, the funeral of the late Walter C. McLaren, manager of the Perth Public Utilities Commission, which was well attended, was held from the Blair and Son chapel on Monday afternoon, with interment in Elmwood Cemetery. His sudden passing was a distinct shock to his wife and family, close friends and associates. Mr. McLaren suffered a heart attack early Thursday morning and passed away Friday evening, at the age of 65 years. He took an active part in the municipal life of Perth for many years, entering the town council as councillor in 1935. In 1942 he was elected mayor, which office he held until early in 1946, when pressure of business forced him to relinquish the post.

“We haven’t got the definite number; we’re sure it is over 200,000 hectares but under 250,000,” stated Denys. Some of the land that has been under attack from the moth is found in provincial parks, and in order to save some of the foliage in the area, Sharbot Lake, Silver Lake and Frontenac parks were sprayed with Bacillius Thurigiensis (Bt) in May and June.

Drummond project to cost $1 million The Town of Perth is planning a $1 million construction project for Drummond Street, including installation of new sewers and watermain. The municipality would also like to widen the 24-foot street to 32 feet, but no definite decision on the proposed widening has been made, says town engineer Jim McIntosh. The construction would take place in 1986 and 1987, with North Street to Isabella Street done in the first year and Isabella to Daines Place in the second year. Letters have been sent to 45 property owners on the street, with about 20 responses opposed to the plan and “four or five in favour.” A public meeting on the subject will likely be held in September, said McIntosh. The existing sewer system in the area is about 90 years old, he noted, and handles both sanitary and storm water. It would be replaced with two separate sewers with an increased sanitary sewer capacity. A large portion of the estimated $1 million cost of the project will be in the form of provincial grants, said McIntosh. Perth Public Utilities will also be installing a 12-inch watermain which will provide drinking water and fire protection “for some areas with limited protection.” The project will also likely encourage development of housing at the northerly end of Drummond Street. “The underground work is pretty important as far as I’m concerned,” said McIntosh, who noted the design work for the sewers has been completed and submitted to the Ministry of the Environment for approval. He says there are no definite plans for the surface of Drummond Street and says the municipality has no intention of making the street a major thoroughfare. “We realize it’s a residential street,” said McIntosh. “There’s no intention to make it a thoroughfare.”

In the report, which will be pubnews.

lished in full in next week’s edition of the Courier, Wiseman says the Liberals have been “a major disappointment to Ontario food producers.” He says agriculture and food only received a three-sentence mention in a 32-page speech by Premier David Peterson. “The lack of Liberal commitment can largely be attributed to that party’s overriding priority to retain its new urban voters,” says Wiseman. He described the Liberals as “unprepared and inexperienced” and says the Liberals have already failed in their promise to consult. The announcement of the “spills bill” was made without consulting farmers, says Wiseman. “Farmers transporting farm chemicals will be made responsible for clean-up costs in the event of spills even when that farmer is not at fault,” he says. Wiseman says he has also been asking about changes in legislation regarding milk inspectors informing farmers immediately about antibiotics in milk and about the Liberal election promise of increasing tile drainage funding. Wiseman said this week his formal position in opposition is as a backup to Bette Stephenson as treasury and economics critic.

This is a change from other years, when the band performed on the front steps of the heritage house. It has been decided it is best for the band to work in the shelter of the bandstand to avoid having a rain cancellation, as has

happened the last two years. All are invited to bring their own seating to spread on the lawn in front of the bandstand and settle in for the musical program beginning at 7:30 p.m. There will be a coin collection at the concert interval, with funds going towards the maintenance of the house and grounds of Inge-Va.

Photo entries sought for charity pet calendar

The Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) is now seeking photo entries for the 2011 Charity Pet calendar. Pet owners all have one (or many): that cute photo of your dog gazing at you adoringly, as manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best friend does, or perhaps the cat goofing around with its favourite toy. Those photos that give you a warm fuzzy feeling when you look at them, or make you laugh so hard you shed a tear. Why not share them with LAWS and help a good cause at the same time? Send your photos in, as well as your choice of calendar date, as slots always fill up quickly. The entry deadline is Sept. 1 and prices this year follow that of previous years - $20 for the first photo and $10 for each additional photo entered. Photos may be sent electronically for the 2011 edition and are being looked after by Cathy Hasler. Email your photos to either cathy.hasler@rbc.com or shelter@lanarkanimals.ca, with attention to Cathy Hasler. As a non-profit organization with no funding except for

donations and fundraising activities, LAWS relies on the public to support the cause. Dollars donated go immediately to the animals in LAWS care.

About LAWS LAWS has been a member of the Ontario Society For The Prevention Of Cruelty To Animals (OSPCA) for most of its existence, first as a branch and later as an affiliate. LAWS remains the only affiliate with the OSPCA not to use the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;humaneâ&#x20AC;? or SPCA in its public identity. This makes searching for LAWS difficult for people looking for their local â&#x20AC;&#x153;humane societyâ&#x20AC;? or trying to distinguish LAWS from a rescue/pound. LAWS is affiliated with the Ontario SPCA and receives no funding from either the government or the OSPCA provincial office. The shelterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s affiliation with the OSPCA gives LAWS, and only LAWS (in Lanark County), the mandate to enforce both federal and provincial laws that deal with animal welfare. The shelter

is also the only enforcement agency in Ontario that receives no funding to enforce those laws. The shelter is also part of a community of over 50 members (through its affiliation) that speaks in one voice for the welfare of the animals. Some of the many services the shelter provides includes cruelty investigations, bringing perpetrators of cruelty to court, sheltering and adoptions,

Heads Up for Healthier Brains

wildlife rescue round the clock, government and industry advocacy, humane education, reducing pet overpopulation through the Spay Neuter Assistance Program (SNAP), emergency rescue and treatment and reuniting lost pets with their owners. Upcoming fundraising events for LAWS include fundraising garage sales set for 9 a.m. to noon, on July 24 and Aug. 21. You will

be sure to walk away with some treasures you have been looking for, and a few you werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. All garage sales take place at LAWSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; shelter, located on Glenview Road, off Highway 43, about two kilometres west of Smiths Falls. For information about LAWS, to volunteer or make a donation, please visit www.lanarkanimals. ca, email shelter@lanarkanimals. ca, or call 613-283-9308. Submitted by LAWS.

Catch a creative spark at the MERA schoolhouse BY HILARY BARRETT This autumn, McDonalds Corners-Elphin Recreation and Arts (MERA) is presenting an exciting series of lectures by well-known Canadian artists representing a variety of disciplines. The lectures will take place in McMartin House in Perth on alternate Sundays at 2 p.m. starting on Sept. 19 and admission is $5. An informal “meet the artist” session with light refreshments will follow each lecture. “The artists will be discussing the creative impulse shaping their work, both the subject and their choice of medium and materials” says Ankaret Dean,

artistic program director at MERA. “We’re very grateful to the Ontario Arts Council, whose financial support allows us to bring this marvelous group of artists to our area and we look forward to an interesting and inspiring series.” For the first lecture on Sunday, Sept. 19, MERA will welcome Marjolein Dallinga, a fibre artist from Montreal who makes fabulous felt pieces. Her creativity stems from a love of living things, movement and colour. Trained in graphic arts and painting at the Minerva Academy in the Netherlands, Dallinga started felting hats, shawls, mittens and handbags. Her techniques have evolved to include theatrical

pieces, including her work for the Cirque du Soleil. www.bloomfelt. com. On Oct. 3, Ellen Good, a weaver from Central Frontenac, will be discussing her work. She is noted for her use of shibori and ikat weaving techniques and produces one of a kind and limited-series garments, accessories and home furnishings. In 2009, Good received the first MERA Award for Excellence in Fine Arts and Fine Crafts, a juried award which recognizes artistic excellence. The third in the series, on Oct. 17, will feature Bill Reddick from Picton, a porcelain artist and potter who created Canada’s official dinnerware, the Maple Leaf Service, used for state

dinners at Rideau Hall and 24 Sussex Dr. He represented Canada at the 2009 Cheongju International Craft Biennale in South Korea and has exhibited his work across the United States and Canada, including the Gardiner Museum in Toronto. See www. billreddick.com. Jerry Grey, a painter, portraitist, muralist and teacher from Ottawa will talk on Oct. 31. She is a fellow of the Royal Academy of the Arts, and her work appears in public and private collections across the country, including the Art Gallery of Ontario and the Bank of Canada. Grey has been commissioned to produce several large multimedia murals for public and private institutions including the Ottawa

Police and the Sisters of Charity. See www.jerrygrey.ca. The final lecture on Nov. 14 features Max Dean, a mechanical artist who has created a dazzling and thought-provoking range of interactive, computer-based works which have been exhibited around the world. His Robotic Chair is featured in “A Short Film about Falling,” shown at the International Film Festivals in Toronto and Vancouver. The National Gallery of Canada has acquired some of his works. For more information, contact meraschoolhouse@bell.net or 613278-0388. Submitted by McDonalds Corners-Elphin Recreation and Arts.

To date, more than 300 homeowners in the region have taken advantage of the program. This year, funding support has been reduced, so REAL is only able to offer a very limited number of visits – bookings are first come, first serve. Look for Well Aware information at municipal offices throughout the region and local health unit offices. People

who are interested can contact REAL to request a Well Aware presentation for their group. Well Aware is a project of Green Communities Canada and is delivered locally by REAL. Funding support is provided by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment. Technical support is provided by the Association of Professional Geoscientists of Ontario. Well Aware is endorsed by the Ontario

Rural homeowners in Lanark, Leeds and Grenville counties are being offered a chance to have a free, confidential and non-regulatory well check-up conducted by a certified water guide. The program, known as Well Aware, is delivered by the community-based environmental charity, Rideau Environmental Action League (REAL). During a well check-up visit, a guide spends up to two hours with the homeowner, teaching them how to identify and address potential risks to their water supply. Homeowners will learn about the soil and bedrock conditions of their property and how these can impact their groundwater. They are informed about potential contaminants to their water supply. They are shown how to perform routine check-ups and maintenance on their wells, and they

BarnDoor teams with Smiths Falls Community Theatre Mark Twain’s Patent Scrapbook one-man show kicks off partnership show opened last Friday and is running at the Station Theatre in Smiths Falls for three more performances, July 22, 23 and 24 at 8 p.m. Mark Twain’s humour proves to be still fresh and engaging after more than 100 years, while Jacklin’s performance is as full of energy and excitement as it was in 1977 (and at age 12 when he first

portrayed Mark Twain). Jacklin is known in eastern Ontario as the producing director of Perth’s BarnDoor Productions (BDP), now in its 15th season. Among his other accomplishments, he is a multiple award-winning playwright and composer and an actor, with hundreds of productions to his credit, including work with the

community theatre, home to BDP, but open for touring productions, community groups and more. The two productions BDP is mounting this summer are fundraising projects for the new theatre. When BDP was unable to find a stage for its shows in its hometown of Perth this summer, the Smiths Falls Community Theatre was able to provide a venue, opening possibilities for future cooperation. The newly opened Station Theatre in Smiths Falls and the under-construction Full Circle Theatre in Perth are similar in size and shape and could trade productions easily. Mark Twain’s Patent Scrapbook will be followed by the remarkable, unique musical drama, Dark of the Moon, starting on July 31. The production is a remarkable play about forbidden love, set in the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee. Filled with music, lyricism, drama and comedy, Dark of the Moon is the largest production to hit the region’s stages this summer, with a cast of 20. Dark of the Moon will run for five performances, July 31, Aug. 1, 5, 6 and 7, all at the Station Theatre in Smiths Falls. Those looking for something different this summer will find it in Mark Twain’s Patent Scrapbook and Dark of the Moon: the former, a one-man show full of life, energy and timeless humour; and the latter, with the region’s largest cast of the summer, filled with music, poetry, drama and much more. Tickets for either show are $20 reserved or $23 at the door, with students and children $12 at any time. For information or to reserve, call 613-267-1884 (cash only). Submitted by BarnDoor Productions.

Blyth Festival, Press Theatre, Port Stanley Summer Festival and over 100 one-man performances of Ted John’s The School Show on tour throughout Ontario.

PEDALING FOR PROSTATE CANCER Vancouver cyclists Fred Tsai, Sam Wade, Tevis Bateman and Brian Tong prepare to continue their journey across Canada to raise money for the Prostate Centre, after enjoying a complimentary stay at Code’s Mill Inn and Spa. The group started its journey in Victoria, B.C., and has raised $11,000 of their $25,000 target for the Prostate Centre. Wade was inspired to start the cycling tour after his grandfather Malcolm was Andrew Snook photo diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2008.

Ironman, meet Ironwoman Emergency room nurse and mother-of-three completes eighth Ironman race

BY ANDREW SNOOK andrew.snook@perthcourier.com Perth’s Kristine Plant knows how to run the gauntlet. When the 45-year-old mother of three is not healing the injured as an emergency room nurse at the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital or teaching her fitness boot camp, she is cycling, swimming and running her way across the finish lines of Ironman competitions around the world. “I got bored of running,” said Plant. “I ran since 1978 and I had done marathons and I was looking for a new challenge.” Ironman competitions consist of a 3.8-kilometre swim, 180-km of cycling and a 42.2-km run. Plant was inspired to take part in an Ironman competition after she watched a friend compete in one in Lake Placid, N.Y. “Its certainly not for everybody, it’s a lot of training,” she said. “Every time you go to the start line you never know if you’re going to finish.” Her track record certainly doesn’t show the same levels of difficulty she described during her interview. She has completed all eight Ironman competitions she has

participated in. Plant said her most difficult Ironman to finish was when she ran with a broken heel. “I figured, run if I can, and if it’s too painful, quit,” she said. “After swimming 3.8 kilometres, and biking 180 kilometres, everything hurts at that point.” Plant has successfully completed Ironman competitions in Lake Placid, N.Y., Penticton, B.C., Louisville, Ky., Madison, Wis., Panama City Beach, Fla., and most recently, Frankfurt, Germany. Plant placed sixth in her age category (45 to 49) after competing on land and in water for 11 hours and 53 minutes. The Frankfurter Sparkasse Ironman European Championship was held on July 4, 2010. Plant said she decided to compete in Frankfurt because it gave her an excuse to travel. “We took our kids,” she said. “We took a week in Germany and then went to France and watched part of the Tour de France.” Kristine is not the only Plant in the family that enjoys a healthy dose of iron in their diet. Her husband, Cory, a 45-yearold coating operator at the 3M plant in Perth, has joined his wife in several of the Ironman competitions. Cory has partici-

pated in six of the events. “Both of us do them together,” he said. “Being the nice guy I am, I usually let her beat me,” he joked. They met while Kristine was working as a summer student at the 3M plant. They married and became an official iron couple in 1991. Their three sons Dakota, 16, Connor, 13, Kai, 11, have already began following in their mother and father’s fit footsteps. All three boys are members of the Perth Stingrays Aquatic Club – the same club Kristine started her athletic career with back in 1976. “My mom said you can’t do both,” she said, referring to competing in both running and swimming. “I was a better runner than swimmer.” Their oldest son, Dakota, may prove that statement to be untrue. As well as being a member of the Stingrays, Dakota has already run in a triathlon. However, Cory said that the choice to run in an Ironman one day is entirely up to the children. “We don’t force anything on them,” he said. “But if they show Ironman competitors Cory and Kristine Plant finish up a practice run an interest, we’re totally behind through Perth. Kristine has competed in eight ironman tournaments, while her husband Cory has competed in six. Andrew Snook photo them.”

horses her entire life. Wagner, like many young athletes, struggles to find funding to compete at events. Her father, Mike Wagner, has been travelling the area looking for corporate sponsorship for his daughter. “It s not uncommon to a young athlete that wants to make it to the Olympics,” he said. “It’s a full-time job just keeping the bills paid and keeping the horses healthy up here.” He hopes to gain enough corporate sponsorship to send his daughter to the 44th annual American Quarter Horse Congress horse show in Columbus, Ohio. She said is eagerly anticipating the event, because she will get to compete with Maybe I’m A Fantasy. She said she enjoys barrel-racing competitions the best, because they are based on times, not judges. “It’s timed, it’s fast, it’s fun,” she said. “It’s me and my horse, and we’re a team.”

Perth’s Allysa Wagner is preparing to have a barrel of fun. The 17-year-old St. John Catholic High School student is headed to Jackson, Miss. to compete in the National Barrel Horse Association (NBHA) World Youth Championships July 26 to 31. This will be Wagner’s second time racing at the event; she competed in 2009 and missed making the finals by 3/1000ths of a second. Wagner was granted a wildcard entrance last year by NBHA Canada that allowed her to go to the worlds. She said it was extremely fortunate for her to obtain the wildcard, since a rider normally needs to collect points at local competitions in order to be eligible. Wa g n e r ’ s h o r s e , M a y b e I ’ m A Fantasy, was injured for much of the season, preventing her from competing.

When she arrived at the worlds in 2009, Wagner had only three hours to get familiar with Breezy, a horse made available to her for the event. “It was so exciting for me to go down and compete on a horse I never rode before,” she said. She said that it is extremely challenging to ride a new horse, since riders become so familiar with their horses. “It took me three years to get going with my mare to get her riding to the best of her abilities,” Wagner said. “It’s a completely different style of riding; the best I can do is hope for the best and kick.” For this year’s competition, Wagner will arrive a few days in advance, so she can get re-acquainted with Breezy. She decided not to bring Maybe I’m A Fantasy to the event, due to the long travel times on the road with high levels of humidity expected throughout the trip. Wagner has been competing for more than eight years, but has been around

It’s time to dust off the old cleats and hit the field for the 27th annual James D. Canuel Memorial soccer tournament. The tournament will be taking place on July 24 and 25 at the Conlon Farm sports facilities and the St. John Catholic High School. Teams from all over southern Ontario come to take part in the recreational tournament. The tournament honours James Canuel, a 22-year-old who died in a construction accident while working a summer job in July of 1984. Canuel was wellknown for his athletic skills and participated in a variety of sports including soccer, track and field, basketball, and hockey. The age divisions will include: men’s open age adults, women’s open age adults, old-timers (35 and older), and over 30 women’s.

The tournament will have 16 men’s teams, eight women’s teams and six old-timer men’s teams. The old-timer teams will only play one day on Sunday, July 25. Each team must have a minimum of seven players and a maximum of 16. The games will be 44 minutes in length, with 22 minutes per half and a three-minute break between halves. No premier or first division players from any league are allowed to play in the tournament. All players must be registered with the Ontario Soccer Association, and must have a player passport as proof of registration. Anyone under the influence of alcohol will not be allowed to play. For more information contact Shannon Gent at 613-264-1240 or sgent@ripnet.com.

MAKING A SPLASH IN WINNIPEG Stingrays Olivia Ellard, 12, and Bailey Andison, 12, take a break from practicing to smile for the camera.

Lifeguards throughout Ontario will be taking part in the Lifesaving Society’s “500 metres for 500 lives event,” during Drowning Prevention Week, which takes place from July 19 to 25. The fundraiser is dedicated to the 500 Canadians that lose their lives each year by drowning. Kelly Manoukas, fund developer for the Lifesaving Society, said that the goal of the event is to raise the public’s awareness about drowning. “The society is grateful to the aquatic staff for their hard work and for taking part in this event in memory of those who have lost

their lives due to drowning,” she said. The society’s Water Smart Drowning Prevention Campaign is through fundraising events, personal donations and corporate support. The Lifesaving Society is a charitable organization working to prevent drowning and water-related injury through its training programs, Water Smart public education and safety management services. The society certifies 700,000 Canadians annually in its swimming, lifesaving, lifeguarding, first aid and leadership courses. For more information on the event, or to sponsor a lifeguard, contact: Betsy Gelinas McFarlane at 613-267-5302.

Canoeing for cancer BY ANDREW SNOOK andrew.snook@perthcourier.com

The fourth Canoe the Clyde for Cancer will take place on Aug. 14. at 115 Mill St., in the village of Lanark. The event is hosted by the Lanark and District Civitan Club. The event will be staged over 5-kilometre and 10-km courses. “I was a cancer survivor and I paddled the river,” said Dick Cordick, creator of the fundraiser. “I got an idea of how we could get people to enjoy the river and raise money for cancer.” All the proceeds go towards the Canadian Cancer Society. Participants raise funds for each kilometre paddled. “It’s not a race,” Cordick said. “People come out at their own leisure and enjoy themselves for a couple of hours.” He said the event has raised $21,000 over the last three years, and he expects to have between 70 and 80 canoes and kayaks this year. The entrance fee is $10 per paddler with a maximum of $20 per canoe or kayak. All participants are responsible for ensuring all safety requirements are met including life jackets, bailers and whistles. For more information call 613-267-1058, or contact Dick Cordick at 613-259-5738 or riversedgebandb@ aol.com.

Shirley Valentine coming to Newboro

BY MELISSA DI COSTANZO

melissa.dicostanzo@metroland.com

better to do than talk to the wall. Shirley’s neighbour presents her with an opportunity to take a holiday in Greece and she decides to go, a decision which will change her life forever. “It’s a poignant play,” says Goudreau. “So many people can identify and relate to it.” Actor Heather Markgraf is familiar with the role: this will be at least the fourth time she has played Shirley. One of those

productions was the Hudson Village Theatre’s presentation of the play. “At least three times,” she laughs when asked how many times she has played the role. “It’s very profound, very empowering.” Markgraf says the message the play delivers is to live life to the fullest, all the while taking risks and chances, and to do what you want to do, rather than what you have to do.

That being said, she says the piece is a comedic one. “Shirley is a lovable character,” she says. “The message is timeless, even though it is set in the ‘80s.” Shirley Valentine will be presented as a dinner theatre show at the Newboro Community Hall on Aug. 6, 7, 13 and 14 at 6:30 p.m., with 12:30 p.m. matinees on Aug. 8 and 15.

Deborah Goudreau is looking forward to bringing Shirley Valentine to Newboro. Goudreau, a fairly recent resident in the community, moved to the area about a year ago. She purchased property on By Street and intends to turn it into a local arts centre, where people can learn how to practise yoga,

pottery, sculpting and other forms of art. Once completed (hopefully in 2011), the centre will be called DharmaNectar Studio. In the meantime, she’s focusing on her other brand new project: DharmaNectar Studio, which is presenting its first project, a professional production of Shirley Valentine, a famous Broadway comedy written by Willy Russell about a woman who is stuck in a hopeless marriage with nothing

Throwing out hazardous waste just became a whole lot easier, said Stewardship Ontario. The non-profit agency has added 13 new material categories and thousands of new products to its list regulated by the province. Stewardship Ontario is a non-profit agency responsible for overseeing the province’s recycling and hazardous waste removal programs. The organization was created by the Waste Diversion Act in 2002 by provincial legislation. Starting this month, the organization rolled out Orange Drop across the province, a program designed to make it easier for residents to remove their hazardous waste. The list of materials now accepted includes batteries, pharmaceuticals, syringes and aerosol containers. Orange Drop follows the municipal hazardous or special waste program, introduced in 2008, said Sean Magee, Stewardship Ontario’s promotion and education co-ordinator. The special waste program accepted nine waste material categories including paint and solvents. The program is expected to divert 27 million kilograms of trash from Ontario’s landfills – 10 million more kilograms than last year. “The more we can divert away from landfills the longer their lifespan will be,” said Magee. “The main goal is to protect the environment.” Manufacturers of products that end up as hazardous waste pay for its transport and removal, said Magee. “That really can be a great brand recognition for them,” Magee said.

Last year, the municipal haz- hazardous or special waste and ardous or special waste program to encourage Ontarians to make returning these items part of cost $25.6 million to run.

the fishes’ plight when the commercial haul fell to a little more than half that amount the following year. By 1959, this total had slipped to less than 50,000 pounds. Yet there was still no conservation action taken when the overall take went down to a mere 3,600 pounds in 1960. It finally bottomed out at less than a dozen fish in 1966. Of similar grave circumstances was the fact that countless fishermen like myself went merrily on catching these dwindling blue fish with no knowledge from the powers that be that the species was in trouble. With plenty of yellow pickerel being caught, one wonders why a closed season on the “blues” would not have helped save them from extinction. I can recall going down to the dock at Queenston below the Lewiston Bridge on the Niagara River and catching blue pickerel near the huge sand piles there. The mouth of the same river off Old Niagara was another good place to bring in full stringers of these same fish. Evan’s Point in Lake Erie was also a great place for trolling especially in August

can see on this earth, but allowed a species that swam beneath the surface, almost under our noses so to speak, to fade into oblivion. There is no pride in those of us who caught the blue walleye, only the feelings of frustration and remorse that we, in fact, were responsible in some small way for adding it to the list of creatures now extinct.

It seems to me some of the best walleye fishing starts about the middle of next month. I’m also reminded that most of the old timers, especially in Canada, called this fish the yellow pickerel. While angling for this choice gourmet fare is among the most popular pastimes in this province, I remember when this golden beauty with the opal eyes had some competition. It came in the form of a slate-coloured cousin, the blue pickerel. Those whose fishing adventures take them back to the mid-50s can remember when this slate-blue game fish was listed on the fishing regulations. The memories of those anglers whose exploits took them to Lake Erie, the lower Niagara River, or the western parts of Lake Ontario as far east as the Bay of Quinte still flash images of this unique game fish. Yet today’s anglers plying those same waters will never know what their earlier counterparts experienced, for the blue pickerel is no more. Gone the way of the dodo bird and the passenger pigeon in an era when we should have learned from our past mistakes.
