Local twins participate in Hirst piece at Pop Life BY LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@perthcourier.com After spending a lifetime trying to carve out their identities as individuals, Brooke Silversides and Ashley Silversides-Ottenhof finally succumbed to the “twin mystique.” The Tay Valley sisters, who celebrated their 28th birthday last week, are one of 53 sets of twins who were selected to be part of a rare performance piece at the National Gallery of Canada. The installation, which is retitled each time the set of twins featured in it changes, is a recreation of a famous piece by renowned British bad-boy artist, Damien Hirst, whose pickled shark artwork shot him to fame in 2007. It’s featured as part of the Pop Life exhibit on now at the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa. It’s the only North American stop for the exhibit, and the Silversides twins said they are honoured to be participating. T hey became involved in the project on a chance comment from their father, Jamie Brooke Silversides (left) and Ashley Silversides-Ottenhof (right) Silversides, who heard an ad callappear in the National Gallery of Canada’s exhibit, Pop Life as part of ing for identical twins on CBC “Ashley, Brooke,” 2010, by Damien Hirst (created in 1992).

“I didn’t think it was as big of a deal as it was,” Ashley said. “Until we got there, it really didn’t sink in. The more you see people reacting to you, the more you realize how big of a deal it really is.” Visitors’ reactions to the sight of two live people performing as pieces of art inside the exhibit is especially interesting to Brooke, a sociology major studying a Queen’s University. “I’m interested in how people traditionally behave, and we’re in a non-traditional setting,” Brooke said.

The twins must dress and style themselves exactly the same and sit in chairs below two of Hirst’s signature dot paintings, which are applied directly to the wall. The twins can do an activity (read, play games, etc.), move around in the gallery and speak to each other and visitors, but the twins must try to mimic each other’s actions. At times during their fourhour shifts, they would become unintentionally still, leading to perplexed looks and cautious inquiries of “Are you real?” See ‘Mirror image’, Pg. A3

Concert replacing parade due to construction BY LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@perthcourier.com The Perth Fair will start off on a different foot this year. Organizers have cancelled the annual parade through town in light of traffic congestion and the business impact of ongoing construction on Wilson Street. Instead, popular local country rockers Tailgate will open The Chappy Open celebrated the festivities on Friday, Sept. 35 years of golfing in support of 3 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Perth Camp Merrywood.

Swinging for Easter Seals

District Agricultural Society board decided the event would cause too much inconvenience by closing roads in addition to the delays and detours due to the reconstruction of Wilson Street. “We felt as a group that they’ve been through enough,” said Gene Richardson, president of the Perth Fair, referring to downtown merchants who have lost business due to the construction. “We felt that we didn’t want to make anyone lose anymore.” Richardson noted that the cancellation is for this year only, and the parade will return next year.

“This is a one-time thing,” Richardson said. “It will be back at full strength next year.” “It will be a much better and more attractive route next year,” when construction is completed, he said, adding that board understands the Wilson Street construction is necessary to upgrade the underground services and the road surface. The parade usually begins at The Factory on Sunset Boulevard and continues down Wilson Street, along Foster Street and Gore Street before winding its way to the fairgrounds. The parade has only been can-

celled once before in the past two decades, that time due to rain, Richardson said. To warm up to the opening festivities on Sept. 3, Tailgate will take to the newly-covered stage at the Perth fairgrounds at 5 p.m. The concert will be followed by the regular opening ceremony. This year marks the 165th anniversary of the fair, which takes place Sept. 3 to 6 – Labour Day weekend.

oldest bridge on the Tay Canal, originally received $700,000 in stimulus funding, which was announced by Reid during an event in April of 2009. The initial estimate was based on a very preliminary investigation, said Dean Hamilton, assistant chief engineer for Parks Canada. A more thorough inspection and a few delays (including the illness of one of the key heritage bridge engineers) put the project back by almost a year and doubled the cost. Work on the bridge finally commenced last week, as construction crews removed the swing span from its pivot base. The timber decking will be replaced, extensive structural repairs to the steel will be done and a high-

performance steel coating will be applied to the bridge. Some mechanical work on the bridge’s moving parts must also be completed. The work is expected to be done this fall. “This is fairly major for us,” Hamilton said, indicating that the age of the bridge and the scope of the repairs are a “significant” project for Parks Canada. Funding for the expanded Beckwith Street Bridge project was announced along with upgrades throughout the Rideau Canal system. “The canal has turned from being used for defense and economic commerce purposes to being used for recreation,” said Reid, the MP for

Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington. “These features draw people to certain areas, and that’s what this is all about.” A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Rideau Canal is composed of 202 kilometres of rivers and canals between Kingston and Ottawa. The historical and recreational resources along the canal attract tourists, making it a vital part of the economy for communities that line its shores, Reid said. Reid, Perth Mayor John Fenik and Don Marrin, the supervisor of the eastern Ontario field unit for Parks Canada, paddled into Perth’s Tay Basin in kayaks to illustrate a key component of the canal rehabilitation project.

Highway 7 expansion leaves bottleneck in CP BY PATRICIA LONERGAN patricia.lonergan@metroland.com With the final phase of work on the twinning of Highway 7 from Ashton Station Road to Carleton Place now underway, the province is starting a transportation study along the stretch of highway from Carleton Place to Peterborough. Transportation Minister Kathleen Wynne, who visited the construction site off Cemetery Side Road on July 20, said she wanted to let people know the study is taking place because expensive projects sometimes happen in little pieces. She added she understands Highway 7 is “extremely important” to eastern Ontario and the province has to look at other sections of the road. That the ministry is even starting a transportation plan acknowledges the highway has to be looked at, she said. What the study will mean for commuters is unclear, as the it’s still in the preliminary stages, Wynne indicated, adding timelines aren’t even set out. “It takes a long time to go through a transportation plan,” Wynne said. Local MPP Randy Hillier said he’s disappointed the project has

taken so long. “Highway 7 is a major corridor,” he said, adding the road has seen a significant increase in traffic over the years. “It takes an inordinate amount of time to make decisions on these sorts of things. “The process is very lengthy.” Even with the expansion currently underway, he noted there will be a potential for bottlenecks in Carleton Place where the four lanes go down to two. Hillier indicated the ministry should look at the situation in a “more expeditious” manner and find ways to streamline the process. Meanwhile, the final phase of the expansion project from Carleton Place to Ottawa, which began earlier this year, is scheduled to be complete in 2011. During this final phase, a new interchange will be built at Cemetery Side Road and Appleton Side Road, while new service roads will run along both the north and south side of the highway. Wynne said the expansion will improve safety and traffic flow congestion. The section of highway sees about 8,000 vehicles per day. “This project is very important to this community,” she said. Beckwith Township Reeve

Richard Kidd echoed Wynne’s sentiments, noting safety has been a “huge problem” over the last 10 years. He said the expansion will cut down on commute times and ultimately improve the quality of life for residents in the area. “We can’t wait for 2011,” when

the four lanes will open, Kidd said. The multi-phase expansion project started in 2006. The first phase of the project saw the expansion of Highway 7 to four lanes from Highway 417 to Jinkinson Road, as well as a new interchange at Hazeldean Road. That phase was

finished in 2008. During the second phase, approximately 12 km of Highway 7 will be widened. Phase two is expected to be completed in late 2010. The $107.4 million project is part of the province’s $32 billion Open Ontario plan.

Hospice plans beginning to take shape After three years, the idea of a hospice facility in Lanark County is picking up steam. With a newly formed vision for what they want a local palliative care facility to look like, Dignity House Hospice is moving forward. After visiting a home that provides a supportive environment for people at the end of their lives, the local group returned to Perth “re-energized and enthused.” “We now have a much clearer plan of what we want to do here,” said Stephanie Smart, chair of Dignity House’s board of directors. The movement to create a residential home where people diagnosed with fatal conditions could receive support and care has been afoot in Lanark County for about three years. But volunteers say it is now time to buckle down and garner the level of community and financial support that will turn their vision

the last few weeks of their lives. Medical equipment, such as IVs or oxygen tanks would be available, but would not be the focus. That is a model board members discovered last month when they visited Aunt Sally’s House, a hospice in Bancroft. “It is very strict on end-oflife comfort care only, and pain management,” Smart said. “It is a peaceful, happy place to be, and non-institutional.” While there are local services that provide end-of-life care that allow people to die in their own homes, the burden of that care and coping with the death is sometimes harder on family members. But a hospice is a welcoming environment separate from their day-to-day lives that allows family members to connect with their loved one before they die, Smart said. “The family can come in for a day and just be family – they don’t have to be caregivers,” Smart said. As a nurse, that is something Smart had to learn herself. When her father was dying, it was difficult for her to make moments with her dad simply a time to connect and reflect, and not bathe or provide nursing care for him, which could be done by staff. Smart and the Dignity House board hope that the concept is something people in the community will relate to and rally around, and they are planning to ratchet up their efforts in the months to come. A fundraiser is being planned for late autumn, a fundraising drive is in the works for next year and the board has set a goal of opening the doors of a residential hospice facility in Lanark County in two years. If they were to build a home for the facility, it could cost around $600,000, board members say. They are hoping for the possibility of a generous

from a dream into reality. “We’ve laid a lot of the groundwork. We’ve learned a lot, and met a lot of people,” Smart said. “Now it’s time to see some results from all of this.” The group was “very idealistic” about how quickly it hoped to establish a residential hospice in Lanark County, Smart said. “Reality got in the way,” she said. But along the way, board members have gained valuable information about funding that is available from the government and the different models for hospices. Now, the group needs the support of community members – and it also needs funds. “We are now actively engaging the medical community,” said Doug Burt, vice chair of the Dignity House board. “We need the support of doctors; they are the ones who will be referring the families to the hospice.” Burt said the group from Dignity House is looking to inform local doctors about hospice care and garner letters of support that will help the group as it applies for funding opportunities. Burt is sure that local doctors will be on Dignity House’s side, because hospice care frees up hospitals to focus their resources on curing patients who have a chance of getting better. While nurses do offer comforting care, they have many patients and cannot spend the same amount of time with a dying person that a hospice worker could, Burt said. And the financial side makes sense: operating costs for a hospital bed are about $1,000 per day, while a hospice bed’s operating costs are about $300 per day, Burt said. The hospice, which would serve the whole county and have three to five patient beds, would provide free care for people in

Perth resident fined for illegal deer hunting BY PERTH COURIER STAFF On July 13, 2010, Perth resident Andre C. Bergeron was convicted of five offences related to deer hunting back on Nov. 13, 2008, said the Ministry of Natural Resources. He was fined $3,000 and had his hunting licence suspended. The case was heard by Justice of the Peace Barry Switzer in the Ontario Court of Justice in Perth. Bergeron was fined $600 for each of the

following offences: trespassing to hunt, illegally discharging a firearm from a motor vehicle, carelessly discharging a firearm, possession of illegally killed wildlife, and having a loaded firearm on a roadway. He was prohibited from hunting in Ontario for three years and must complete a hunter safety course before his licence is reinstated. The charges originated from an in-

Mirror image each other, which is an interesting twist in the exhibit, said Rhiannon Vogl, the curatorial assistant who was in charge of the search for the twins. “It reveals that something can be the same, but still completely different,” Vogl said. The Hirst piece extends pop art’s fascination with mass production to the idea of biological and genetic mass production, in the form of twins. “It reinforces this idea that people assume that twins are the same person,” Vogl said. “There are subtle differences … there is no such thing as an ‘identical’ twin.” Brooke and Ashley said they feel the message of the piece is positive. “It’s about being an error in genetic mass production, Brooke said. “It’s almost a blessing in genetics.” “We know we’re special,” Ashley added. While the piece was recreated using the same criteria as Hirst’s original “twins” piece at the Cologne Unfair art fair in 1992, although Hirst was not directly involved in choosing the twins for the Ottawa twins performance. All of the twins who participate will receive a photo print of themselves in the exhibit, signed by Hirst.

Get ready for a blast from the past. Perth’s Royal Canadian Legion Brach 244, at 26 Beckwith St. E, will be hosting the first ever Perth Toy Nostalgia and Collectibles Show on July 31 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. “I’ve always wanted to do a series of shows outside the big cities,” said Bob Thompson, the organizer for the event. Thompson said the show will be a combination of vendors and toy exhibits for people to enjoy. He said there will be exhibits and displays on toy trucks, Lionel trains and several other older toys.

Cost to repair Beckwith Bridge About $275,000 will be spent to construct low-level floating docks along the canal to improve access for paddlers in canoes and kayaks. “It’s the least expensive component but possibly the most significant,” Reid said. “It will enhance the utility of the canal and make it that much easier to use.” Floating docks will be installed at all lock stations where it is possible to do so, and in other locations – about 75 in total, said Don McKay, a heritage presentation specialist with Parks Canada who is in charge of the dock project.

Brooke said. Some people aren’t sure whether it is OK to “talk to the art,” so the gallery is filled with side-ways glances and hushed whispers. Other times, the giggles emanating from their room drew people in and there was a line of visitors waiting to talk to them. What has been most surprising to the Silversides twins is the shocked reactions of people who have never seen identical twins before. “We’re so identical in every way, but I don’t feel like I’m looking at myself,” Ashley said. The sisters are always together and completely fit into the stereotype of the twins who can finish each other’s sentences, know what the other is thinking, and feel sad or happy based on how the other twin is feeling, even when they are apart. Yet they are very different: Brooke is an academic, while Ashley is artistic and plans to study music in university. The girls both have tattoos, but Ashley’s skin is more heavily inked thanks to her tattoo-ar tist husband, Andrew Ottenhof. The tattoos are the one physical feature that distinguishes the women from

“I’ve been going to shows for years and years,” he said. “It bothers me that many of the events charge a lot of money for people to get in, and then only have items for people to buy.” Dealers from across the Ottawa region are expected to attend. There will be a variety of collectibles, including toy cars, soldiers, non-sports cards (Including Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh!), kinder toys, model kits, vintage toy trucks, trains, comics and Star Wars and Elvis Presley memorabilia, As an added attraction, the Legion will have their museum open to the public. Admission is $3 for an adult and $2 for kids.

COUNCIL BRIEFS

Baby alright after crash The following matters relating to Perth town council came up this month, while council was on its summer break.

Hiring of contract accountant authorized Perth town council authorized the hiring of an accountant/ deputy treasurer to make up for a reduction in personnel. The town’s staff was down two people after the departure of Jorgen Hoeven, the town’s former director of environmental corporate services/treasurer. Two senior staff members, Grant Machan and Lang Britchford, stepped up to take over the two halves of Hoeven’s role, leaving their positions vacant. Machan and Britchford were supposed to review their positions after a year to make suggestions on staffing levels. In a July 5 report to council, Britchford requested that a contract-position accountant be hired during the review period to maintain the status quo in the corporate services department. Another treasury staff member changed from full-time to parttime status late last year, which further lowered staffing levels in that department. The financial implications are expected to be minor (the equivalent of 0.1 full-time position) as the position was already budgeted for.

Open house for community improvement plan A public open house to obtain input for a downtown community improvement plan was set to be held Wednesday, July 28 from 7 to 9 p.m. at town hall. The town is considering finan-

Infrastructure master plan for lands north of Highway 7 The town is moving forward to plan how the land north of Highway 7 will be developed. Building on work to redesignate the area as part of Official Plan amendment 10, the town is calling for proposals for consultants who could design a master plan for how sewer and water servicing in the area would be laid out. “This is to create the basic backbone of the system,” Cosens said. “We want to make sure there is a co-ordinated approach to service delivery in the area.” The area covers approximately 95 to 98 hectares of land, between 17 and 20 ha of which are wetland or low-lying land. Most of the land will support residential development. Aug, 19 is the deadline for submissions to the request for Eric Paradis tends to his Rafale, a French fighter jet, during the sixth proposals, which can be directed annual Model Aeronautics Fun Fly event, which was held at the Smiths Falls/Montague Airport on Saturday.

WING NUT

A newborn baby is doing well after the 20-year-old mother was airlifted to Ottawa Civic hospital after a July 17 crash on Drummond Concession 1 just after 8 p.m. Carol Runge, said her granddaughter, Amanda Young, gave birth to a baby after being rushed to the hospital in what is suspected to be a drunk-driving incident. She was in labour and on her way to the Smiths Falls hospital at the time of the crash. Runge said mother and baby are doing “alright” and Runge has been taking care of them at home. OPP couldn’t confirm whether the second person who was airlifted, a 24-year-old Ottawa man who was in the other car, was out of the hospital. Both Young and the other person who was airlifted were listed as having serious but non-life threatening injuries after the head-on collision, which injured eight people in total. Const. Sean Trahan of the OPP said charges are pending based on forensic investigation, but alcohol is believed to have been a factor. “It’s still under investigation. It’s definitely a priority for us,” Trahan said.

Restraining order charge A 19-year-old man from rural Perth was charged with breaching a non-communication order after Perth police pulled him over for talking on a cell phone while driving. The driver was stopped on Highway 7 in Perth on the night of July 8. Further investigation revealed that he was breaching an “officer in charge undertaking” because a person he was not supposed to communicate with was in the car at the time. He was charged with failing to comply with the order.

Perth to experience a summer Meltdown BY ANDREW SNOOK andrew.snook@perthcourier.com The Town of Perth is about to experience another Metal Meltdown. This will be the heavy metal concertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fifth time playing in Perth. The show will take place at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 244 at 26 Beckwith St. E on Aug. 14. The first few Metal Meltdowns had long delays in between concerts. The first one occurred in 1997, but a second show wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t organized until 2004. A third show in 2008 proved that three times can be charm. The concert was so successful that the Metal Meltdown concerts have been put on annually ever since. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always wanted to bring heavy metal to Perth,â&#x20AC;? said Aaron Hoffman, one of the promoters of the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I went to high school you were lucky to have 10

people into heavy metal, now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big here.â&#x20AC;? It seems there was a pentup demand for something a bit heavier than other live music offerings in the area. Metal fans would have to travel to Ottawa, Montreal or Toronto to catch heavy metals shows before the Meltdown started. Now, it is the only heavy metal concert of the year in Lanark County and the Ottawa Valley, Hoffman said. Hoffman expects between 250 and 300 people to attend this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show. Motorhead tribute band Motorheadache will headline the event. The Motorheadache set list will comprise of material spanning 35 years of Motorhead history. The bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s set spans 90 minutes and will close out the 2010 show. Also playing will be local rockers Joe Thrasher, Axiom and Naartok. Bands travelling from other areas include: Fatality (Toronto),

Punch Drunk (Oshawa), and Aggressor (Ottawa). Hoffmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longtime friend Andrew Weir said he was excited to see the headliners perform. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see Motorhead itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the next best thing,â&#x20AC;? Weir said. Doors for the show open at 3 p.m. and the show runs from 4 to 11 p.m. While there will not be an outdoor merchandise market this year, bands will have merchandise available for sale inside the Legion hall as they perform, so fans are encouraged to bring cash with them. The show sold out last year, so metal fans are encouraged to purchase tickets in advance to avoid disappointment at the door. Tickets are $15 in advance, or $18 at the door, and are on sale at Hoffmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gore Street Flea Market at 147 Gore St. E. and at Shadowfax on 67 Foster Street. Tickets are also available online at: www.ourhost.ca/pmm.htm.

Slammers prepare to compete in Ottawa BY PERTH COURIER STAFF As the 2010 season of poetry slams winds down in Lanark County, the national team is beginning to prepare for the big show this fall. After the last slam finals competition on July 17, the Live Poets Society of Lanark County and Smiths Falls team has officially been compiled. Emily Kwissa, Sarah Bingham, Inez Dekker, Ken Kicksee and alternate Britt Faraday have been announced as this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lineup. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Canadian Festival of Spoken Word will return to Ottawa, the city it was created in in 2004, from October 12 to 16. Thanks to the competition returning to Ottawa this fall,

the team members will be given a break from the normal fundraising they have had to complete in the past to have enough funds to travel to the last two competitions in Calgary, Alta. and Victoria, B.C. Teams from across the country, from Victoria to Peterborough and Saskatoon to Halifax, will head to the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital for the much-anticipated small poetry competition. LiPS was first established in 2008 by Danielle Gregoire. They participate individually and as a team at local and national events throughout the year. The most recent performance was at the Walter Hachborn, who founded the Home Hardware chain 72 years ago and went on to become a Midsummer HerbFest east of billionaire and Canadian business icon, came to Perth as part of a tour of eastern Ontario stores.

t is official: as of Aug. 1, anyone aged 21 and under cannot have any alcohol in their system when getting behind the wheel. Previously, anyone who held a full G licence could have a blood alcohol level of up to 0.05 per cent. Following an announcement by the Ontario Transportation Minister and Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) on Monday morning, that number now only applies to drivers 22 and up. Young drivers who are caught with any alcohol in their system will face an immediate 24-hour suspension of their licence which could last up to 30 days and up to $500 in fines. Kathryn Windsor of the Renfrew County MADD branch said young people in the area have problems with alcohol because of the small town feel and the proximity to Quebec. Youths consuming alcohol have been the cause of “a percentage of the accidents happening in this area,” said Windsor. According to the Ontario Ministry of Transportation, the peak ages of drinking and driving are 19 to 21. New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Manitoba already have similar regulations in place. Some may argue that this new law is an example of ageism. Many young drivers are responsible and would be able to handle having a glass of wine and hitting the road responsibly later on. However, there are many who can’t. And that doesn’t just go for young drivers. Everyone handles their alcohol differently, depending on gender, weight/size, metabolism, etc. Over the years, countless police reports have come across the news desk about impaired driving. People of all ages, from teens to seniors, have been caught drinking and driving in Lanark County. What about the over-21 population who can’t seem to handle their alcohol? Drinking and driving does not seem to be going away anytime fast. It remains a reality, often ending up in tragedy. Perhaps limiting youths behind the wheel is just the beginning. It may not be a bad idea to start at the 16 to 21 demographic and work up from there. Alcohol and driving has never been a good mix.

OPINIONS LETTERS

Older doesn’t mean incapable Re: “Fresh ideas come at all ages,” letter to the editor from Tonia Kelly, The Perth Courier, July 22 and “Council run at age 89 is ‘wrong,’” letter to the editor from Oliwen Romano, July 15. With a mother about to be 87 in September and who is still keeping books for a pediatrician, I had to weigh in. Up until two years ago, my mom was managing an afterhours children’s clinic in Toronto, overseeing 52 doctors. While physically she is having some challenges, her mind is sharp, with it, computer savvy and she can add figures in her head faster than I can on a piece of paper! I am extremely proud of my mother and her continued contributions to society. People of

her generation offer experience, know-how, reliability, responsibility, dependability and energy (yup, energy) to the workplace that some people half their ages are missing. She won’t be leaving work to get married (my father would have a fit), have a baby (...really have a fit) or take extended vacations or sick days. She loves what she does and the doctor knows that when she leaves her office at the end of the day, it has been ably managed. Working is adding to the quality of my mother’s life. Age does not have to a factor for anyone who chooses it not to be and this doctor recognizes the capabilities my mom brings to her practice. Experience may be one of the

most important contributions that older people offer the work force. What they have seen, done and remember can be huge assets to organizations needing to spend time and money to train or retrain employees. Why would anyone in their right mind exclude this portion of the population from continuing to contribute based on their ages? A couple of other examples of very capable octogenarians: Queen Elizabeth II and Betty White. Both of these women continue to be vibrant, engaging, charming, interested and interesting people in society. I’m sure not going to vote to shut them down; heck, one day I hope to be one of them! You are an inspiration, Mom. Lynda P. Haddon, Perth

hew! That’s another cottage task completed. Just lately we really have been to-ing and fro-ing fit to bust (or in my case melt) as various cottage visitors have had to be prepared for. At the beginning of the season I stocked all available shelves with cans and packages of just about everything I could think of. At home it’s easy to pop out to the stores and pick up more milk, fruit, meat, etc. But once we are settled in by the lake there are no convenience stores closer than Perth or Westport, so it’s a good idea to plan ahead. My main concerns recently were keeping enough Honey Nut Cheerios for our lanky younger grandson (who usually goes back for third helpings) plus planning for a lunchtime visit from dear husb’s Kiwanis club. At the last meeting I went to, an evening meal at the Perth Restaurant, I counted about 30 heads; so I thought I’d better prepare for possibly that number at the cottage. Soon the freezer compartment of our not very large refrigerator was full to bulging. No, actually more than that – full to the point where an avalanche of cold stuff slid out to meet me when I opened the door. The fridge below was no better – so much so that I started using a large cooler for overspill. This meant constantly checking

Well not exactly exploded. But the lid shot off and the entire kitchen counter was covered with boiling foam. Another trip back home for a new kettle. Meanwhile we waited with baited breath for the new sunroom to be installed. It would be such a good spot for the gathering if it rained. Unluckily, the sunroom still hasn’t arrived. Luckily the weather was OK for the gathering. A gathering of Settled In nine.

s a follow-up to the story we ran about wild parsnip, I got some information from Steve Allan, the director of public works for Lanark County, who just returned from holidays. Responding to our concerns about how the county’s public works employees approach yard work when there is a great deal of wild parsnip (or any other noxious weed) present, Allan said they avoid those areas and try not to cut the plants. Cutting the plants exposes the sap, which can cause severe burns to skin and temporary or permanent blindness. If you come into contact with it, wash the exposed Private “I” skin with soap and water, seek shelter (exposure to sap makes skin sensitive to sunlight). the county has had two people On the giant hogweed front, come forward saying they have the enormous plants in their property.

Downtown deal could be close area levelled. In 1980, it was believed that the huge Cadillac-Fairview company, in conjunction with Heritage Canada, had the inside track on the project. That was not to be, as members of council, in September of 1980, voted unanimously in favour of Fuller Construction, which proposed a 17,800-square-foot grocery store and an additional 10,000 sq. ft. of retail space. By the following summer, it appeared Fuller had floundered, and in 1982, Westeinde Construction was on the scene. Westeinde didn’t have any better luck than Fuller. A $1 million loan offer from the province to assist with start-up costs (provisional on project goahead) eventually ran out when an anchor store couldn’t be found.

Local beekeepers battered by bears It has been a tough summer for area beekeepers as marauding bears savage hives to get at honey. “They’re just coming out of the bush,” says Lanark County bee inspector Harry Toop. “For awhile there it seemed like I was getting a call every day.”

The province subsidizes damage to hives up to $75, and Toop, an Arnprior-area resident, inspects damage claims in this region. “It’s been bad enough,” adds Ken Maley, inspector for the region southeast of Lanark County, commenting on the bear situation. He has received reports about bears from the Dundas and Stormont areas, a region where there haven’t been reports for about 10 years. A number of Lanark-area beekeepers have reported increased damage this year from bears mauling the hives. Charles Perdue, of RR 4, Lanark, is a commercial operator with about 200 hives. He says he has lost “25 or more” hives due to bears this summer. He has suffered bear damage before, “but nothing like this year.” Perdue speculates that the increase in damage this summer could stem from bears moving into the region, a general increase in the local bear population or a lack of early-season natural food for the animals. He estimates losses at between $200 and $250 per hive with honey. The province provides subsidy money only for damage to the hive or bees, not for lost honey.

“People don’t realize how many two season tickets to the Flyers’ bears there are and how bold they home games. are,” says Perdue.

Airstream trailers flood Perth Airstreams, silver bullet-like trailers that offer all of the comforts of home, were gathered together en masse at the Perth Fairgrounds last week as part of a scheduled stopover of the Second Annual Capital to Capital Caravan. The caravan, guided jointly by Ivan Fox of Burlington, Ont. and Ken Marple of Melbourne, Fla., will see the 35-trailer caravan travel from Ottawa to Washington, D.C. this summer. The trip for the 35 trailer owners began at an International Caravan meeting in Lake Placid, N.Y. on June 27. By July 4 the 3,950 Airstreams had split into different groups to travel throughout North America.

Lanark hockey team draws fans

The Lanark Intermediate ‘AA’ hockey team was officially named last Friday evening before a crowd of 300 gathered at the Lanark and District Community Centre for the fundraising dance sponsored by the club. The LA Flyers will take to the ice in uniforms similar to the Philadelphia Flyers in the 1985/86 season, with strong indications of fan support from Perth and Lanark. Although the team has yet to be assembled, prospective players joined Flyers coach Grant Bowman and club executives on Friday night to watch the unveiling of the new team sweaters. town.

deal which will likely bring a food store into the Perth downtown-core area appears close to being inked. “It’s proceeding,” commented Mayor William Warren this week. “It looks go,” he added. Members of town council met Monday night to discuss the core proposal. Financial ramifications are believed to have been part of that discussion. It is still not publicly known what food store is negotiating with the town, but a lease agreement is being negotiated and could be signed in the near future. A site plan has already been formulated and viewed by some interest groups in the community. “We’re gradually ironing out the formation of a lease form,” said Warren. He said there are only minor matters to be ironed out with regard to the lease form, with lawyers for both parties working on the form. Warren said there is no rush to sign the lease, and he said he doesn’t expect any construction to begin this year. Perth’s $1 million downtowncore site has had a topsy-turvey history in the five years since houses were demolished and the

Changes made to advance polls James W. Baskin, MP, Renfrew South, announces sweeping changes for those who desire to vote in an advance poll in federal elections. Previously, only commercial travellers, fishermen, members of the reserve Canadian forces, Mounted Police and railway employees were allowed to vote at advance polls. Now any elector whose name appears on the list of electors prepared for a polling division comprised in an advance polling district, who has reason to believe that he will be absent and unable to vote in such polling division on the ordinary polling day at a pending election, may vote at the advance polling station established in such district if, before casting his vote, he takes and subscribes to an affidavit for voting at an advance poll, before the deputy returning officer of such advance polling station. -The above editorial appeared in the July 28, 1960 issue of The Perth Courier.

Theatre still hot this summer BY IAN DOIG Well, I have to say that the biggest news to hit the theatrical world of our area for a long while has been the arrival of professional summer theatre here; specifically, at the Studio Theatre in Perth. I was fortunate enough to have attended the opening night of the Classic Theatre Festival’s first production, Noel Coward’s classic, Blithe Spirit, and to say that I was impressed would be a sad understatement. Just to touch on a few points: the set was superb, the direction outstanding and the acting excellent. I had never seen the play performed, nor read it, and one thought that struck early on was, “The writing is amazing. Every word fits perfectly.” But what else would one expect from the likes of Noel Coward? I know that the Ottawa Citizen “reviewer” panned it, in a piece that struck me as being more than a little vindictive, and aimed primarily at the director, Laurel Smith, and he’s certainly welcome to his opinion, but I must say that in my opinion it is an excellent show. True, it’s a long production: three hours, roughly, but that’s really the only even remotely non-laudatory that I could say about it. And for those of us who tread the boards as amateurs, there’s a lot to be gained from watching the acting, the staging and especially the direction. The show continues on Wednesdays to Saturdays at 8 p.m. with 2 p.m. matinees on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays until the first of August. And then, building on the successful run of Blithe Spirit, the Classic Theatre Festival mounts a charming Second World War romantic comedy, John van Druten’s The Voice of the Turtle, Aug. 6 to 29. Directed by Lezlie Wade (who is currently assistant to Stratford’s artistic director Des MacAnuff), the show stars Krista Leis and Michael Dufays (both of whom have worked at Stratford), along with Sarah Joy Bennett (a veteran of Ottawa’s Odyssey Theatre). The play deals with the changing roles of women during the 1940s, and is the nineth-longest running show in Broadway history.

Van Druten also created I Am a Camera (the basis for the musical Cabaret) and Bell, Book and Candle (which inspired the TV series Bewitched). Judging from what I saw of Blithe Spirit I would do my level best to get out to take in The Turtle, too. During August, a number of benefit evenings are set aside to help raise funds for Lanark County Interval House as well as the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum. The festival is busy planning its second season in Perth, and details will be announced later this year once next summer’s plays are confirmed. For more information or to order tickets, visit www.classictheatre.ca, email info@classictheatre.ca or phone 1877-283-1283 (or 613-264-8088). The Smiths Falls Community Theatre has transported Shakespeare’s notorious sorcerer, Prospero, from his perpetual island in the sea to Manhattan, N.Y., where his plans are to wreak havoc. Melanie, a dramaturge with magical powers, joins forces with Prospero’s runaway son, Caliban, a trio of drag-queen Furies and a love-sick Momma’s-boy lifeguard, who endeavour to defend humanity from this rampant fictional character. Rough Magic, by Roberto AguirreSacasa, is a fantasy comic book – a story that promises laughter amidst a battle of wills and a most startling ending. The show opens on Aug. 19 and runs until Aug. 28. Watch for information regarding specific dates, times and tickets shortly on the website, www. smithsfallstheatre.com, and in the local media, or contact Christine Winter at 613284-3815. And up in Almonte, the Valley Players are rehearsing their up-coming production called Quilts from Hell, which will be presented as part of the Fibrefest 2010 at the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum on Sept. 10, 11 and 12 – but more on that next month. So there, things are starting to pick up already – and where better to chill out on a hot-and-sunny/cool-and-wet summer’s evening than at the theatre!

Get growing garlic with horticultural society It’s nearly August and time for garlic season once again. As one wise wag put it: “Shallots are for babies, onions are for men and garlic is for heroes!” One hero of the garlic world is the Perth and District Horticultural Society’s guest speaker for Aug. 10: Paul Pospisil. He is a professional engineer who retired from the Canadian Armed Forces and, in 1990, became a serious hobby farmer promoting agriculture and family farming. Pospisil and his wife, Marylou,

were instrumental in starting up farmers markets in Smith Falls and Perth. The couple are two of the original founders of the Perth Garlic Festival and Paul Pospisil is an avid grower and researcher of varieties of garlic that will thrive in the eastern Ontario growing zone. For more than 20 years he has conducted organic growing research trials for over 150 varieties of garlic on his farm, Beaver Pond Estates, in Maberly. He is also the publisher and editor of The Garlic News, which provides garlic-growing news

and advice for the garlic grower’s network. At the Aug. 10 meeting of the Perth and District Horticultural Society Pospisil will tell us how to grow garlic in this area, discuss the properties of garlic and teach us how to avoid the common pests that can destroy our garlic crops. The meeting takes place in the library of Perth and District Collegiate Institute at 7 p.m. If growing your own garlic has been an idea in your mind for years, now is the time to put that thought into action and ask all the questions you have of a

growing expert. There is a saying in New York City that “a nickel will get you on the subway but garlic will get you a seat.” Well, at the Perth Horticultural Society you can have a seat, a snack and c o nve r s a t i o n about garlic for free. Membership in the Perth Hor ticultural Society is $10 per year. Experience is not required

and lots of fun is to be had. Guest speakers, road trips and social events provide lots of entertainment and access to some expert and novice gardeners. Submitted by the Perth Horticultural Society.

Stingrays finds podium twice in Winnipeg BY ANDREW SNOOK andrew.snook@perthcourier.com The Perth Stingrays Aquatic Club finished their season by making a splash in Winnipeg. Stingray Bailey Andison, 12, swam her way to two thirdplace finishes at the Canadian

Age Group Championships held from July 22 to 24. Andison earned third place in the 50-metre breaststroke, 12-and-under, with time of 35.35 seconds. She also swam her way to a third-place finish in the100m breaststroke, 12-and-under, with a time of 1:18.79. Stingrays head coach Rod

Agar said that both times were personal bests. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safe to say that Bailey is over the moon right now,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a lot more in her too, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a question of confidence and belief in herself.â&#x20AC;? Dakota Plant also represented the Stingrays in Winnipeg. He

competed in the 50-m, 100-m and 200-m breaststroke events. His best placement was 16th in the 200-m event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dakota was a little disappointed,â&#x20AC;? Agar said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s young and he has a lot of potential. Hopefully these swims will lead to better swims next year.â&#x20AC;? Agar said the Stingrays will

be out of the pool until mid-September, giving them some time to enjoy all the activities they miss out on when they are in training. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I tell them to do everything but swim,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Go bike riding, canoeing, all those things you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re training, but stay in shape.â&#x20AC;?

Golfers swing for Easter Seals at 35th Chappy Open BY ANDREW SNOOK andrew.snook@perthcourier.com The Chappy Open charity golf tournament celebrated its 35th anniversary on July 23 at the Perth Golf Course. The tournament was named after Al Chaplin, one of the original organizers of the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It started with about eight of us deciding to play golf together in Westport,â&#x20AC;? Chaplin said. Golfers travelled to Westport to take part in the tournament for the first 10 years, but moved it to Perth 25 years ago due to the competitions increasing popularity. Seventy-two golfers battled the rain on and off throughout the afternoon to participate in the tournament last week. For the last 25 years, the orgaThe Big Rideau Lake Association hosted a wake nizers select a charity to donate camp last week which was coached and operated by the proceeds to, this year the the Lenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cove Marina wake department.

MAKING WAVES

The camp is a 30-acre site that is located between Perth and Smiths Falls on Rideau Lake. It runs recreational programs for children and young adults with physical disabilities. Chaplin said this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tournament raised approximately $1,500. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Chappy Open chooses a charity to sponsor each year,â&#x20AC;? said Jacques Schryer, site manager for the Merrywood camp for the last 18 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the years theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve chosen to sponsor us they have raised close to $15,000.â&#x20AC;? Schreyer said the money raised by the tournament has gone towards a variety of upgrades for the camp, including a new DJ system for the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dances and privacy curtains for personal care. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a rewarding scene to see those kids come in year after year,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No child is refused entrance to the camp. They all get to experience what Merrywood is about.â&#x20AC;?

Golfing news fresh off the tee The return stage of the annual home and home with Lombard Glen seniors was held on Monday July 19 at Lombard Glen with 17 golfers from Perth coming out to play in nine matches. The odd man out was Bob Fitzsimmons, who took on a pair from Lombard Glen and won his match.

We won five of the eight matches played in Perth, with one loss, one tie and one match

Tuesday Twilight Hinton Auto Connection sponsored the July 20 Men’s Twilight action that brought 104 golfers out to play a four-man-scramble.

The first team was Barry Murphy, Skip Patterson, Ray Kilpatrick and Brad Hasler. The second was Dave Peters, Jeff Peters, Dave Chaplin and Chris Goviea. Long drives were hit by Les

There were 26 golfers on the greens for the I-Hate-Cooking Friday Night Mixed Twilight. We played a four-person scramble to speed things up as there was a threat of a storm. The team of Dave Trick, Anne Trick, Sandy Cook and Doug

Cook finished with the low score of 34. Longest drives were hit by June Taylor, Diane Twenlow, Doug Cook and Chris Drummond. Marion Linka and Andy Davis collected the prizes for being closest to the pin. The Blair and Son Furniture gift certificate is still available to anyone that can score a hole in one during our Friday night play.

Open Doors: mental-health resource for youth Open Doors for Lanark Children and Youth is Lanark County’s very own children’s mental health centre. Our agency is an accredited member of Children’s Mental Health Ontario and the staff members at Open Doors are trained social workers, counsellors, child and youth workers, psychological associates and early childhood educators who have extensive experience working with children, youth and families. Parents are often concerned about how best to parent their children or how best to help a child experiencing a significant life change such as a separation or a loss. School problems may also be an issue. Youth may be having suicidal thoughts, be anxious, having difficulties managing angry feelings or relationships with peers and family. Some children and youth referred to Open Doors have a diagnosis, such as ADHD, schizophrenia or conduct disorder. Many do not. Some families hesitate to call our service as their child does not have a diagnosis or they are not sure if their problems are serious enough. Open Doors is really a service for any child or youth in the county experiencing behavioural,

psychological or emotional difficulties. We believe it is important to help children and youth as early as possible to avoid problems becoming more serious. To access our services, call either of our main offices in Smiths Falls or in Carleton Place and speak with a quick response worker. They will help you assess whether our services are appropriate and the urgency of your need. Our Quick Response team will provide service within one working day in high-risk situations and in addition, if the waiting period for our other services is too long, this team will see children, youth and families for up to three sessions. The other services available include: Early Years (for children six and under), Family Resource Team (teaching parenting strategies to families in the home), Sexual Assault (for sexual abuse victims and sexualized behaviour assessments), Counselling (for children and youth up to age 18 and their families), Specialized (psychological and psychiatric on a limited basis for clients of the agency) and PATH (parent assisted treatment homes). Unfortunately, we know that youth experiencing difficulties often do not reach

out to professionals. Families often tell us that it would be much easier to deal with a broken arm or leg. Children’s mental health services work and that through early intervention, we can support children and teens to reach their maximum potential. We believe in helping children, youth and their families discover the strengths

good title for this column could well be “The birds of summer.” Yet these words are not about the winged creatures that require a field trip to discover, but rather about the feathered friends you could have right in your own backyard. However, the mention of feeding birds in the summer months often gets me in deep water with some people. Since I went overboard for birds many years ago, that doesn’t bother me particularly. What does ruffle me is that all too often these ideas are like a handful of last year’s acorns, they look good but they don’t have any meat in them. I honestly believe that some of these people sit at home thinking up ways to discourage the rest of us from enjoying a sample of our most beautiful wildlife in a closer perspective. You’ve probably heard the majority of the reasons for not putting out feed for the birds during the summer: it’s unnatural, the birds don’t need it, they become dependent on handouts, the young birds choke on the seeds, etc. To me, that sounds like a lot of the four-letter stuff whose spelling ends in “-it” that’s found in the bottom of a bird cage: “GRIT.” Sure, summer feeding is unnatural, but then again the same could be said for the winter custom. As far as not needing it, well, they’ve got to eat some place so what’s wrong with giving the birds a free meal when they want it, winter or summer. Remember, too, wild birds devour other items besides those that you provide on the shelf, so an increased avian population in your area will give you some extra weed seed and insect pest control – naturally. Then of course there’s this dependency notion. To me, this is a cold weather problem that occurs when the birds have no other food source. It’s interesting to note that if wild birds are so dependent on sunflower seed, for example, why do some species, like the big yellow evening gros-

BRIGGS-JUDE Outdoors beaks forsake it in the spring? If it’s nesting territory they’re seeking, I think the local evergreens are every bit as suitable for nest sites as those they find upon arriving in the still frozen north. Our particular purple finches, on the other hand, are the exact opposite, arriving at the food shelf in early spring and departing by September. Truth is, most wild birds move on the urgings of an inner seasonal clock, with food playing a minor part in their migration patterns. Some years ago, about the time someone came up with the story about cranberries being carcinogenic, another story surfaced about young birds choking on seeds. Well, in more than 60 years of feeding wild birds at all seasons, I’ve never seen this happen. Matter of fact, the many young birds that have been brought to our feed trays would certainly have provided us with an opportunity to see such a problem occur if it did exist. Actually some species, such as goldfinches, can be seen regurgitating the small seeds into their youngsters’ mouths. And while on the subject of small seeds, the small black oil sunflower seeds will attract more kinds of birds than the large striped variety.

The hall was first built in 1850 as a Presbyterian church on the French Line Road in Lanark Highlands. By 1914 it was closed and remained empty until 1939, when it was reduced to a pile of lumber and then rebuilt by volunteers to serve as a community hall at 5531 Tatlock Rd. in Lanark Highlands. It was three years ago on Sept. 14, 2007 that the main building of the hall was moved to its present location at 696 Concession 7 in Lanark Highlands. The Ontario Trillium Foundation invests in local initiatives to strengthen the capacity of local volunteers to serve their communities. www. trilliumfoundation.org.

IN MEMORIAM

GIFF: In loving memory of our Dad/Poppa Lorne, who passed away July 29/06. He wasn’t a hero known by the world But a hero he was to his little girl I knew his voice before I could speak And loved it when he would kiss my cheek He taught us life’s lessons of right from wrong And instilled in us values that would make us strong And so through the years like a hero he stood Working to give all that he could His presence was important and we loved to see him smile For no one in the world could recreate his style And so, dear Dad, my best memory to recall Is the gift of your presence The greatest gift of all. Forever in our hearts, Tracy, Faith and Jack GUNN: In loving memory of a dear mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and aunt, Mildred, who passed away July 20, 2008. God took her home It was His will But in our hearts We love her still Her memory is as dear today As in the hour she passed away. We often think of her When we are all alone For memory is the only friend That grief can call its own. Love always, Bob and Marilyn and families

B12 - THE PERTH COURIER - July 29, 2010

Plan a bioblitz on your property Aug. 13 and Saturday, Aug. 14. “The management of my forest property is focused on forest wildlife,” Lee said. “As such, the more information I can get regarding the plant and animal makeup and their ecological connections, the better I can manage and understand my forest. The bioblitz represents a

real opportunity to generate much of that information, in a hurry.” Two more bioblitzes are planned later in August and early September on two properties in Leeds. For more information about the bioblitz project or to register as an expert or volunteer,

contact McDonald at 613-267-4200, ext. 3194 or at bioblitzintern@ gmail.com. Submitted by the Community Stewardship Council of Lanark County.

hensive list of species at each property and the data is then provided to the Ministry of Natural Resources. “This type of information is highly valuable to biologists, conservationists and land-management experts as very little inventory work has been completed in eastern Ontario due to the high percentage of privately owned property,” said program manager Barbara King. The stewardship councils have partnered with the Eastern Ontario Model Forest and St. Lawrence Islands National Park (Parks Canada) to carry out habitat suitability modelling on the properties. This tool predicts the how frequently species could occur based on a set of habitat variables. The relationship between habitat variables is mapped in a Geographic Information System (GIS). Habitat variables considered may include the species’ food, reproduction, habitat area and landscape configuration requirements. “It is important to recognize that the models represent a tool for assessing an area’s ability to support wildlife species, and not whether the species is actually present at a given location,” said Erin Neaves, biodiversity specialist with the Eastern Ontario Model Forest. The first bioblitz is planned on a 1,000-acre property near Almonte owned by Gerry Lee on Friday,

Local groups are teaming up to help communities learn more about biodiversity and stewardship in their own backyards by hosting bioblitzes this summer. Thanks to funding from the Species at Risk Stewardship Fund and the Community Fish and Wildlife Incentive Fund, the Centre for Sustainable Watersheds, in partnership with the Community Stewardship Council of Lanark County and Leeds County Stewardship Council will be planning a number of bioblitzes in Leeds and Lanark counties on private properties. Bioblitz events typically run for 12 to 14 hours with a group of volunteer experts, naturalists and enthusiasts offering community learning activities such as guided walks, small-mammal trapping, seine netting, insect catching, and interactive displays. The bioblitz concept has been rapidly gaining popularity over the past decade with the goal of producing a volunteer-based biological inventory by counting the total number of plant and animal species in a specified area. “Organizing and hosting a bioblitz is a fun and interactive way for communities to come together to learn about biodiversity, stewardship, and natural heritage values right in their own neighbourhoods,” said Meaghan McDonald, the bioblitz intern who is working on the project. The events generate a compre-
