Grants, loans are options for downtown improvement BY LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@perthcourier.com Investing a little could turn into a lot of improvements to the appearance and quality of Perth’s downtown core, stakeholders lear ned at a meeting about the community improvement plan last Wednesday. Consulting firm MMM Group met with stakeholders and members of the public to discuss what Perthites would like to see as a vision for the future of the downtown area. Based on feedback from the public, MMM Group will be outlining a plan intended to spur investment in the community.
“These are local initiatives encouraging and maintaining a healthy downtown,” said Chris Tyrrell, manager of planning and environmental design for MMM Group. The types of initiatives discussed at the meeting revolved around the option of the town providing grants, tax incentives or loans to downtown property owners if they invest in improving the appearance of their buildings. In Haldimand County, which has a population of approximately 45,000 people, Tyrell said the municipality invested $100,000 of taxpayers’ dollars into similar initiatives and leveraged about
$800,000 economic spinoffs in just over two years. Johanne Lacroix, who owns two mixed-use (commercial and residential) buildings on Gore Street East, said the community improvement plan is “a glimmer of hope” for the downtown area. “So many people are feeling the strain. To know that we can get some financial help, it’s great,” she said. Lacroix was one of about 18 stakeholders who met before the public meeting to discuss what they see as the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats facing downtown Perth.

Rural fire crews busy Firefighters with Drum-mond/ North Elmsley/Tay Valley Fire Rescue were busy with seven calls over the long weekend, but there was no serious damage to report. A brush fire brought crews to Black Lake Road on Sunday afternoon to battle a difficult-toreach grass fire that spanned a couple of acres, said fire chief Greg Saunders. It took six hours to put out. Another small grass fire on Monday afternoon was sparked by a train on the tracks near Christie Lake Road, and a lightning strike set a tree on fire the same afternoon on Long Lake Road. All in all, crews responded to seven calls, Saunders said.

August is in the air and plans are being completed for two new events hosted by the Art of Being Green Projects (AOBGP). Fiddling at the Fairg rounds and the Fresh Air Festival are scheduled for Friday, Aug. 27 and Saturday, Aug. 28 at the Middleville Fairgrounds on Wolf Grove Road. These two new events have been designed by the volunteers, staff and board of the Art of Being Green Projects to once again bring a wealth of information together under one roof – or many tented roofs! On Aug. 27, the gates open at 3 p.m. for an afternoon featuring a variety of exhibitors and vendors on an environmental theme.
There will be some amazing food vendors to tempt your palate as well. During the after noon, the entertainment tent will welcome an array of local fiddlers in an open-mike format. Interested fiddlers are asked to contact AOBGP at 613-264-9677 or 1-877-763-9979. For a new twist, AOBGP is holding a fiddling concert on Friday evening (LCBO licensed). The concert will take place under the festival tent and features performances by Elly Squared, John Richard, Wade Foster and Matt Pepin. Bring your dancing shoes for this exciting evening. Admission on Friday afternoon is $5 per person with children aged five years and under admitted free. For the Friday-evening concert, the cost of admission is
$20 per person and includes the afternoon events. Celebrate Ontario, a funding program of the Ministry of Tourism, provided financial assistance for this event. On Aug. 28, the Fresh Air Festival will be open from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the Middleville Fairgrounds. The exhibitors and vendors will once again be open for business, along with a variety of musical entertainment and children’s programs throughout the day. Young visitors will appreciate the attendance of Silly Sally, especially as she is unable to be at the Perth Fair this year. The highlight of the day on Saturday will be 100-mile local lunch buffet featuring the tastes of Lanark See ‘Fiddling and fresh’, Pg. 3
The pungent aroma of garlic will once again waft through the streets of Perth as the town celebrates the “stinking rose” Aug. 14 and 15. The Perth Garlic Festival will run for its 13th year at the Perth Fairgrounds, and many garlicky delights await guests this year, said festival chair Jerry Sawdon. “There is so much you can do with garlic,” Sawdon said. Those options will all be on display at the festival, which not only features the area’s largest selection of Ontario-grown garlic from more than a dozen vendors, but also demonstrates what you can do with garlic. Cooking demonstrations will be held throughout the weekend inside the Lions hall at the fairgrounds. Chefs from LaPointe’s Seafood in Kanata, The Cove Country Inn in Westport and Judy Dempsey (former owner/ chef of the Hungry Planet in Perth) will show off how to use the member of the onion family in your own cuisine. People can test their own culinary skills at a new addition to the festival: the tailgate rib cook off. So far, eight competitors have signed up to square off on Aug. 14 from 9 to 11 a.m. Celebrity judges, including Ottawa Senator Matt Carkner, will set their taste buds to work choosing the best garlicky goodnesss. “It’s created a lot of interest,” Sawdon said. People who wish to participate should contact Wayne Greer at 613-283-4271. The Birds of Prey show, one of the most popular events of the festival, will retur n this year, with three shows throughout the day on both Saturday and Sunday.

High temperatures, low blood donor numbers BY DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com The higher the mercury is in the thermostat, the lower the number of people who show up to donate blood. While summer may mean a break for many people, the season usually sees Canadian Blood Services (CBS) scrambling for all blood types. “Typically in the summer, numbers do drop because people forget about their appointments,” said Sharleen Blois, the head registered nurse in charge of the recent CBS blood donor clinic
at the Almonte Civitan Club on July 22. “We need all types of blood.” A blood-donor clinic is scheduled for today, Thursday, Aug. 5, from 1:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Perth Civitan hall on County Road 43. Appointments are encouraged (call 1-888-236-6283) but walk-in spots may be available. In particular demand is O negative blood, which is a universal donor blood type. Friends Ralph Cotterill and Steve Robinson have donated since they were children. “I’ve been giving since I was
a kid. It’s the right thing to do,” said Cotterill. “There’s a demand and I have a supply and I can make the time available to donate,” agreed Robinson, whose sister needed “huge amounts” of blood when she was a child. “There’s no reason not to (donate),” said Robinson. “There’s insignificant pain.” Blood platelets are also being sought from volunteers, but things are a little different for those types of donors. “They are in high demand. They only have a five-day shelf life,” said Blois of the platelets.
“It’s a bit more of a commitment (from the donor.) You can donate every two weeks… (since) we’re filtering out the platelets,” and the rest of the donor’s blood is then returned back into their body during the longer procedure. Blois said that CBS intends to be in this part of the Ottawa Valley in the next 56 days, since that is the amount of time that is required for the body to build back up its blood supplies. The tentative date is set for Sept. 20, though this may change with time. “We try to go back to the same
sites,” said Blois. “Generally we have a pretty good turnout.” For those who may have missed last week’s clinic, rolling up your sleeve at your doctor’s office is not an option. “If you want to go donate blood, you have to go to CBS,” said Blois. The CBS is based out of Ottawa, at 1575 Carling Ave., where blood donation clinics are held daily, Monday to Friday. For more information on when and where to donate, and just who can donate, you can call 1-888-236-6283, or click on www. blood.ca.

Residents feeling short-changed by provincial program rate drop BY KATIE MULLIGAN katie.mulligan@metroland.com
407002
A change in rates for the microFIT Progam, designed to encourage producers to invest in solar technology, has left area representatives surprised and disappointed. The microFIT Program was launched last October, giving participants a chance to be eligible for a rate of 80.2 cents per kilowatt hour. As of the beginning of July, that rate for the ground-mounted solar PV program was dropped to a proposed 58.8 cents per kilowatt hour. The changes do not affect other energy programs. Andrea McCoy-Naperstkow, president of the Lanark Federation of Agriculture, released a statement expressing the organization’s extreme disappointment with the change. “Out of the blue…the Ontario Power Authority announced changes to the program tariff by reducing the level of compensation by 27 per cent,” she stated. “Why? Because the OPA believes the new price category is fair, reasonable and more accurately reflecting the costs associated with ground-mounted projects and maintains the long-term stability of the program.” McCoy-Naperstkow said the original idea of the microFIT Program was to pay potential producers enough to make investing in solar technology financially worthwhile. “We are very concerned for the future of many farmers who have taken out loans; remortgaged their farm proper-
ties to support this initiative,” she said. “The recent changes to the program are not what farmers signed up for. Taking the Ontario government and the Ontario Power Authority at their word will mean tens of thousands of dollars of lost income to Ontario farmers.” Recently, the federation had teamed up with the Ar nprior Federation of Agriculture and Beckwith Township, hosting meetings in Pakenham and Blacks Corners. Regional solar energy companies, Hydro One, the Ontario Power Authority, farmers and residents from across Lanark County attended the meetings to learn more about the microFIT Program. “I feel bad that we promoted (the program) as an economic development tool in Beckwith,” said Beckwith Township Reeve Richard Kidd. While Kidd said he knew the rates wouldn’t last forever, he thought the program would remain consistent until January at the very least. Kidd said he thought the money from the program would be going to rural Ontario instead of a nuclear power plant. “That income for creating electricity could have been spread across rural Ontario,” he said. Beckwith Township has passed a motion to support the federation, asking the Liberal government to wait until the end of the year to change the rates. The motion is being sent to every other municipality in Lanark County, asking for the same support. “There were a lot of people who had (the program) in their plans,” said Kidd. “I knew right away they would be very upset (about the change).”
THE TOWNSHIP OF LANARK HIGHLANDS NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING OFFICIAL PLAN FIVE YEAR REVIEW/UPDATE TAKE NOTICE, that the Township of Lanark Highlands will hold Public Meetings with respect to the five year review of its Official Plan: Date: Saturday, July 24th, 2010 Date: Friday, August 27th, 2010 Time: 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 noon Time: 7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. Location: Municipal Office, 75 George St., Lanark, Ontario The Consultants and Municipal Staff will be in attendance to provide information and review the amended draft Official Plan. Section 26(1) of the Planning Act requires that Municipal Official Plan documents be updated no less frequently than every five (5) years. The new Official Plan will update and refine the policies of the current plan to ensure conformity with provincial plans, have regard to matters of Provincial Interest and provide consistency with Provincial Policy Statements, as well as to set a course for the development of the Township over the next 20 years. The proposed revised Official Plan applies to the entire municipality and as such no key map is provided with this Notice. The revised Official Plan will be adopted by the Council of the Township of Lanark Highlands and submitted to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing for final approval. Council will have regard to any written submissions about what revisions may be required and will give any person who attends an opportunity to be heard. Interested parties may also make written submissions directly to the Township at any time during the review process. ANY PERSON may attend the public meetings and/or make written or verbal representation either in support of, or in opposition to the proposed amendments. If a person or public body that files an appeal of a decision of the Council of the Corporation of the Township of Lanark Highlands in respect of the proposed Official Plan amendment does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the Township before the proposed revised Official Plan is adopted, the Ontario Municipal Board may dismiss all or part of the appeal. TAKE NOTICE THAT if a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the Township of Lanark Highlands before the proposed revised Official Plan is adopted, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision to the Ontario Municipal Board. Further, if a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the Township of Lanark Highlands before the proposed revised Official Plan is adopted, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Municipal Board unless, in the opinion of the Board, there are reasonable grounds to add the person or public body as a party. IF YOU WISH TO BE NOTIFIED of the adoption of the proposed revised Official Plan you must make a written request to the Township of Lanark Highlands, at the address below.
tum since the 2000s, when the Ontario Municipal Act was changed to allow municipalities to offer these types of grants and loans. “It’s growing in popularity,” Tyrell said. After the stakeholders’ meeting, only about five members of the public attended the open house. Mary Stewart, owner of the Running Goat on Foster Street, said that her main concern was getting more boaters into town; currently, the low Craig Street Bridge restricts the size of crafts that can enter the Tay Basin. She also liked the idea of incentives for owners to improve their properties. “Right now there is no financial impetus for façade improvements,” she said. Wendy Hassard, a Perth resident, said the quality of the downtown area has slowly been deteriorating due to an increasingly visible segment of the population who appear to be drug users. Some downtown apartments are “dirty” and attract undesirable residents to the downtown area, Hassard said. “If we can get some of the building owners to make better-quality apartments, you’d attract better-quality people,” she said.
Local governments need to look at providing low-income housing and transportation options that would give people on fixed incomes more options for places to live, both in the downtown area and in the rest of town, Hassard said. Hassard said she was disappointed in the low turnout at the meeting, and added that the consultants will only have a few months to come up with new ideas to improve the town. “It’s hard when they don’t see a lot of residents coming forth with their concerns.” For those who were unable to attend the public open house, written comments will be accepted until Aug. 12. They can be addressed to Eric Cosens, director of planning, at town hall (ecosens@perth. ca). MMM Group will present an initial report to Perth town council in August. More stakeholder meetings are planned for October, and a formal public meeting on the draft plan will likely be held in November, and adopted by town council soon after. Any grants or other incentives would take some time to roll out, said Cosens. The first step would be addressing the options during 2011 budget discussions.

Susan Freeman
Freeman has also been on council since before amalgamation, having spent three terms as deputy reeve/deputy mayor. She has been involved in mining issues, recreation, tourism and corporate services (including strengthening the professionalism of the township’s staff). That issue spurred Freeman to initially get involved in municipal politics. “There was turmoil because of the amalgamation,” Freeman said, and one way to combat that was to ensure the township hall was run by a new contingent of professional senior staff members. Freeman was also vocal about initiating a countywide 911 system in her role as a representative on Lanark County council. Freeman was the first woman in the century elected as warden of Lanark County. Having an opportunity to represent Tay Valley at both the township and county level is one reason Freeman said she is seeking reelection as deputy reeve. In the next term, Freeman said she would continue her work with the county trails corporation, which created an accessible trail this year, and she would work to stabilize the township’s budget because it is unlikely that the provincial government will offer any grants to municipalities in the near future.

He said he brings a common-sense voice to the council table and he is not afraid to defer matters if he feels he needs more time to think it over.

Mark Burnham served three terms on Tay Valley council until the last election, when he unsuccessfully ran against Freeman for the deputy reeve seat. He would like to return to council chambers as a councillor for Sherbrooke ward. He said he would like to focus on township matters without the additional responsibility of county council that comes with the deputy reeve’s role.

BY PERTH COURIER STAFF The environmental focus of the next Canada World Youth (CWY) project in Perth will be introduced with a screening of the documentary film, The Clean Bin Project. The film will be shown at St. Paul’s United Church (25 Gore St. W.) on Aug. 14 from 7 to 9 p.m. as a way to introduce the CWY environment program, and connect the concept of the film to the concept of the CWY program. From Aug. 10 to Oct. 30, Perth will be hosting a group of 18 Canada World Youth (CWY) youth volunteers from Honduras and Canada. The focus of this year’s program will be environmental initiatives, community health and food security and participants will volunteer with local groups and businesses relating to those issues. The Clean Bin Project is a feature documentary film about a regular couple and their quest to answer the question: “Is it possible to live completely waste free?” In the film, partners Grant Baldwin and Jenny Rustemeyer go head-to-head in a competition to see who can swear off consumerism and produce the least landfill garbage in an entire year. Their light-hearted competition is set against a darker examination of the sobering problem waste in North American society. Even as Baldwin and Rustemeyer start to garner interest in their project, they struggle to find meaning in their seemingly minuscule influence on the large-scale environmental impacts of our “throwaway society.”
Featuring interviews with renowned artist Chris Jordan and marine-pollution expert Captain Charles Moore, The Clean Bin Project presents the serious topic of waste reduction with optimism, humour, and inspiration for individual action. Baldwin and Rustemeyer are currently biking across Canada, screening the film in as many communities as possible. On Aug. 14, they will stop in Perth to screen the film in partnership with the Canada World Youth environment project. The event is open to everyone and will include a discussion with the two stars/ producers about living waste free. “The participants of the Canada World Youth program will also be there to participate in a discussion about working to reduce waste in your community, and ways they as annual volunteers in the Perth CWY program can participate in that change,” said Laura Howard, coordinator of the local CWY program. Canada World Youth (www.canada worldyouth.org) offers international educational programs to young people aged 17 to 24. Since 1971, close to 32,000 people from Canada and around the world have participated in CWY programs in 67 countries. The youth volunteers’ three-month stay in the community will be the first stage of a CWY youth-exchange program where the youth will volunteer with several organizations working in the area of the environment. The second half of the program will take place in Gracias de Lempira, Honduras, where participants will work in the area of community health and food security.

One-stop shop for employment services BY LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@perthcourier.com
also help streamline each employment centre’s ability to refer clients to specialized services, including apprenticeship programs, Probert said. Probert said the results of restructuring employment services will be more dramatic in cities, where many programs were offered by a large number of different providers. Rural employment services were already quite consolidated, Probert said. “I think what we’ve been doing here has served as a bit of a model,” he said. The changes will also allow each employment services centre to add approximately one staff member to their rosters. To find out more about the employment services offered at each centre, contact: • Perth: Algonquin Employment Services – 2 Wilson St. W. in the Perkins Building; 613-267-1381; jobconnectperth.com. • Smiths Falls: OnTrac – Unit 2, 52 Abbott St. N.; 613-283-6978; www. getontrac.ca. • Carleton Place: Canadian Career Academy Employment Resource Centre – 92 Bridge St.; 613-2573237; www.canadacareer.ca.

Proudly presents:
Accessing employment service in Lanark County just got a bit easier. As part of a province-wide change, services for those seeking employment, apprenticeships or retraining will now be available at one location. In Perth, Algonquin College Employment Services (in the Perkins Building at 2 Wilson St. W.) will offer a full range of employment services, from oneon-one sessions with employment consultants to workshops on job-searching techniques, job postings and resume-writing tools to job training programs. Previously, there were two centres in town that offered different types of employment services: Algonquin’s JobConnect and OnTrac. Now, all the services previously offered by both those centres have been consolidated into a one-stop shop run by Algonquin. Michelle Toop, OnTrac co-ordinator, said the changes will make it easier for people to access these services. “It’s going to eliminate a lot of
confusion for clients,” she said. Previously, each centre specialized in a variety of programs targeting different age groups that were run by both the provincial and federal governments. The services offered by centres in each municipality sometimes overlapped, which added to the confusion, Toop said. Now, all programs are run by the provincial government. “We’re really looking forward to it,” Toop said. OnTrac will continue offering employment services as the designated provider in Smiths Falls (Unit 2, 52 Abbott St. N.). There used to be a Canadian Career Academy Job Search Resource Centre in Smiths Falls as well, which is now closed. In Carleton Place, services will be provided by the Canadian Career Academy Employment Resource Centre (92 Bridge St.). OnTrac’s Carleton Place office will close. The changes will allow each centre to have an even better working relationship with local employers, said Rob Probert, president of Canadian Career Academy. The new format should

Planning for the future of the community
Dear Editor: What is happening at the Salvation Army? The friendly faces of staff and volunteers are gone. It is like going into a store that would prefer you did not open the door to enter. The friendship table in the back room is gone and there are no friendly faces anymore. I only hope someone opens their eyes and realizes the decision to put people in charge who are only interested in their own importance is not good for the community. This is a community-supported outlet that has many wonderful volunteers and staff. Marion Mayhew, Maberly

or better or for worse, improving Perth’s downtown area could come at a cost to taxpayers, and they should have a voice in how that money is spent. A healthy-sized group of people showed up for a stakeholders’ meeting about the proposed community improvement plan (CIP), but only a handful of “regular Joes” came out for the public meeting (see story on page 1). Stakeholders – the people who own businesses or property in the downtown area – will clearly want to be involved in the discussion about the CIP, but other town residents should make their voices heard as well. The town has already committed $20,000 towards the consultants’ fees for putting the plan together, but the plan will lay the groundwork for future investments on behalf of taxpayers. The result of the CIP will likely be to offer grants, loans and/or tax breaks to property owners, which will be funded from taxpayers’ dollars. It’s too early to say how much money would be invested in such a program, but it could be significant, and now is the time to speak up if you want a say in how that money is doled out. The idea is to create a vision for the downtown that resonates with both residents and visitors; a plan that we’ll all feel supportive about funding and helping to implement. When residents feel that they have a stake in the work that’s being done to improve the downtown, and that their comments have been taken into consideration, the plan will be much more successful. The problem with creating a community improvement plan for Perth is that everyone has a different vision of what (if anything) needs to be improved. Some people see what they perceive to be drug users and dealers on downtown streets, and what they consider to be an unsightly amount of errant garbage set out on the wrong day, or overflowing trash receptacles. Others might see those problems as minor, but be more concerned about the appearance of some building facades, while still others won’t see any issue or need for investing money in improvements – after all, Perth is seen as a leader and example of what many small towns strive towards for their downtown cores. That’s why it’s so important to make your thoughts known. Without proper guidance from the people who will be paying for these initiatives – the taxpayers – council won’t have a full picture of the public’s wishes. While the public open house has already been held, written comments will be accepted until Aug. 12. They can be addressed to Eric Cosens, director of planning, at town hall (ecosens@perth.ca). Tell us what you think. Send letters to editor@perthcourier.com.

Dear Editor: Over the summer I have been meeting with many people throughout the riding to discuss issues, concerns and their ideas to create stronger communities. Many farmers I have talked to have said how broken our agriculture system is and how difficult it is to make a living. Input prices like the cost of fertilizer and fuel keep rising and in many sectors the farmer is still getting the same price as they were decades ago. It’s long overdue to have a serious debate over our food sovereignty. If we keep going with our current agricultural policies we will be importing most of our food and most of our small and mid sized farms will be gone. Politics is about making choices and setting a long-term vision that will ensure we build the kind of Canada we want. It’s

time we invest in our agriculture community and take it seriously before we loose it. I’m tired of hearing there is no money to support agriculture when Scott Reid’s Conservative party seemed to scrounge up over one billion dollars to pay for the G8 and G20 meetings. The Liberal Party will support a National Food Policy based on healthy eating, safe food, sustainable farm incomes, environmental farmland stewardship and international leadership. Farmers and the agriculture sector generate $42 billion in annual economic activity and are responsible for one out of every eight jobs. The National food policy will work with farmers to build a practical, bankable farm program to help meet the cost of production and invest in a buy local fund to promote locally
grown food. You don’t have to look far to figure out Reid’s Conservative governments view of agriculture based on the comments made about the prison farms, stating that inmates don’t learn valuable skills from the farm operation. I don’t know anyone who works harder and needs to be a “jack of all trades” than a farmer. Inmates learn many transferable skills on the farm they can use on the outside to help them re-integrate as productive members of society. The Conservatives need to keep the prison farms open and they need to start supporting all farmers by making a serious investment in our agriculture community.

They want to play and the world is still new. They are not yet fully jaded – only a little jaded. They soak in knowledge like sponges and blossom with their new experiences like the biggest, brightest flowers. Girlchild, who is four, had her first and second rounds of swimming lessons this summer. For the previous year she had joined me on the bleachers at the indoor pool to watch her brother move through some badges and was quite delighted when we suggested she could take lessons when school finished. Oh, my. What an excruciating wait it was for those lessons to get started less than a week after her last day of school. We counted the days. Then the hours. Then the minutes. Kids who are Girlchild’s age start with a beginner program, and her first level was Sea Turtle because she is big enough to go in the water without a parent. Despite the obvious anticipation, I approached the whole thing with a tiny bit of caution because I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but kids can be weird. Sometimes, even though they might express unbridled enthusiasm about a thing, it can suddenly become the Most Fearsome Thing in the World and Something To Avoid Entirely. Sometimes we seek refunds. This time, though, there was little doubt Girlchild was excited. She couldn’t sit still on the bleachers as we waited to see who her
because there are certain preparations to be made and obstacles to overcome before one really gets it. We watched as, day after day, Girlchild rose to the challenges and eagerly embraced them. We started calling her Esther Williams, in fact, because you couldn’t wipe the grin off her face. When it was her turn to do a task, she was so excited she squirmed in the water with joy, and when she completed it her excitement practically rippled across the water. For example, at home in the wading pool before her lessons Past Deadline started, Girlchild practised sticking part of her face in the teacher would be. water and blowing bubbles.

Perplexing parking policy Dear Editor: As a visitor to Otty Lake for the last 13 years and a frequent customer to the downtown Perth merchants, I was saddened to find myself with a parking ticket. Upon arriving into town to do some quick shopping with my son we decided to park in the complimentary two-hour parking, returning less then an hour later to find a parking ticket on my car. When I arrived back to the lake
I explained my ticket situation to my husband and a resident of Perth. The resident had then stated to me about the new parking bylaws. Unbeknownst to me, my husband had been into Perth earlier that morning to visit the bank; hence the parking ticket. What a ridiculous bylaw with a five-hour impeding infraction. I do believe that most people just like me would read “Complimentary two-hour parking Monday to Saturday” and carry on with
business. The writing on the plaques is misleading as to one said vehicle or one said person not being allowed re-park within a five-hour time frame. I also believe this could disrupt business for the downtown merchants and drive tourism away. Thank you to the Town of Perth for understanding the parking confusion and waiving the ticket.

Hunting wildlife with your camera don’t pretend to be a wildlife photographer. I know people who are really good at capturing birds and animals using their cameras and they have one important thing that I don’t have – patience! That’s not to say I don’t enjoy getting the occasional wildlife photo, as long as I don’t have to sit all day, getting eaten alive by the deer flies, hoping that some elusive animal will choose to pose for me sometime in the next six hours. I admire those who can get the fabulous shots you see in nature magazines and floating around the Internet. That being said, I think we all enjoy snapping the odd animal photo – a bird, fox, deer – even a chipmunk in the right setting. Here are some tips I can share with you, based on my limited experience in this field. Those who get the amazing pictures do their homework. They study the habits of the animal they plan to photograph so they know when and where it can be found. They know the time of day it will be active and scope out a suitable location to set up and wait. Some wear camouflage clothing to blend in with the background; others might build blinds to really become inconspicuous. They go prepared with food and water, first aid supplies, proper clothing, etc. Not up to all of that? Don’t blame you, but opportunities do abound in this wonderful part of the country we live in. We don’t have to travel very far at all to find birds and other animals to shoot with our cameras. If you have a bird feeder, that’s an easy place to start as our winged friends quickly become used to us being nearby. Same thing with bird houses during the nesting season. Also, around the house, you may have chipmunks, squirrels, deer, foxes, raccoons, skunks (be careful) and porcupines. Near water one can find muskrats, beaver, snakes, loons, gulls, herons, etc. Lots to choose from. A long zoom lens is a real bonus here. I chuckle when I think of a friend showing me a photo he took of an owl. I studied the picture for a while with a puzzled look on my face. Where was the owl? It’s right there – see. Oh, yes, now I see it – that tiny speck way up on the tree branch.

Runaway hydroplane feature of regatta Three thousand spectators attending the 60th annual regatta at Rideau Ferry on Monday afternoon were given a thrill which was not on the program when a driverless runaway hydroplane raced across Rideau Lake and came to grief on the rocky shores of the lake two miles from the race course. Hugh Rood, of Canton, N.Y., driving “Pett Pass,” was speeding up the east side of the course when rough water pitched him out of the cockpit. The boat roared at a speed of 40 miles per hour and just missed a 55-foot cabin cruiser, “Flo Bellee,” owned by Brainard Foote of Morris Plain, N.J. The cruiser was occupied by his family and a number of friends. Max Hurley of Toronto, driving a jet boat in hot pursuit of the runaway craft, tried to head it off, but could not make it before the runaway boat crashed on the shore near the cottage of Jim Mead of Smiths Falls. The course was rough throughout the afternoon, and three other drivers were tossed out of their boats.
Economic outlook bright
Council discusses dogs A good part of last week’s regular town council meeting was spent discussing some serious dog business. For almost one year, a group of Brock Street North residents have been complaining about barking dogs belonging to a neighbour. The municipality laid a charge under its kennel bylaw and the case was heard by Justice of the Peace Ivan Penfold, who ruled the dog owner did not operate what constitutes a kennel. “Are we supposed to harass the police department to get any justice,” said one of the residents at last week’s meeting. According to residents, the dogs bark and howl both day and night. Council suggested the residents lay charges under the municipal noise bylaw. The Aug. 27 meeting of the Perth town council has been cancelled since many councillors will be holidaying or unable to attend the meeting.
David Dempsey is evidently cracking down on impaired drivers by getting them where it really hurts ... in the pocketbook. On Tuesday morning, five impaired drivers appeared before Dempsey and were handed fines ranging from $250 to $400, depending on their blood/alcohol ratio. One Perth-area man was sentenced to 21 days in jail for his second offence of impaired driving. According to police, the 41-yearold man was stopped on Hwy. 7, in the early-morning hours of June 13, after OPP officers noticed his erratic driving. The man will serve his sentence on weekends.

hile removing the plaster from the ceiling in the council chambers of the town hall, workmen with R.T. Parks and Co., which has the contract of installing a new ceiling, found several papers and programs which had evidently fallen through the trap door in the stage, immediately above the council chamber. A program for a concert given by the Separate School on Friday evening, Nov. 26, 1886, 74 years ago, contains the names of many who have relatives living in town or elsewhere. Another program, which was held on Friday, Aug. 13, has no year of the event. A copy of the Ottawa Journal, dated Friday, Aug. 30, 1901, has been well preserved. There were 10 pages in the issue. Some prices on merchandise and foods advertised were: boys’ suits, $1.75 to $5; a sale at one of the Ottawa stores quoted boys’ suits at $1 and men’s suits as low as $2.50; ladies’ handkerchiefs, 49 cents a dozen; ladies’ skirts, $1.50; men’s ties, 25 cents; wool blankets, $1.75 each; houses were advertised to rent at $12 and $20 per month.
It is believed the men made their way to the rooftop by climbing a series of fire escapes at the rear of the building. The two men were charged with causing a disturbance by being intoxicated.

Whalen makes debut at worlds in Las Vegas BY ANDREW SNOOK andrew.snook@perthcourier.com Kasey Whalen walked on to the stage in Las Vegas as the lone Canadian competitor at the FIG Aerobic Gymnastics World Series, and she performed admirably. The 15-year-old Almonte gymnast, who trains at Saltos Athletics in Perth, had a strong showing, placing 16th out of 20 competitiors in her age category, 15 to 17 years of age. An impressive feat for the young competitor’s first time at the worlds. The only international experience Whalen had previous to this trip was at the Pan-American Games in Mexico when she was 12 years old. “It’s pretty intimidating to go to your first worlds,” Louise Miller said, Whalen’s coach and owner
of Saltos Athletics. “A lot of the delegations come and have 30 to 40 competitors and we have just one. She held it together really well; I was really impressed with her mental focus.” Whalen said that she found the whole experience to be eye-opening and exciting. “The feeling when you’re standing there and they call your name to go on stage, you’re so pumped when you get to go out and do your routine,” Whalen said. “It took 30 seconds and it felt like it was an hour. I was super excited to be representing Canada.” Whalen’s routine was judged in three different categories: artistic, execution and difficulty. Her strongest area was artistic. “She scored a 7.8 in her artistic which was first place in her
division,” Miller said. “She beat the defending champion and the first-place champion in her artistic.” Whalen said that she was happy with her routine, but after seeing athletes from around the world perform, she knows there’s room for personal improvement. “We saw different movements and crazy skills that I’ve never seen before,” she said. “There are many skills I can pick up, like strengthening skills.” Whalen is taking a break for a few weeks before heading back to the gym to continue improving her routine. Both Whalen and Miller have their sights set on the Pan-American Games that will take place in Brazil in November. “She wants to revamp her rou- Kasey Whalen, 15, practises for the FIG Aerobic Gymnastics World tine,” Miller said. “She’s going to Series that was held from July 19 to 24 in Las Vegas, Nev.

Perth skating club chosen for CanSkate pilot BY ANDREW SNOOK andrew.snook@perthcourier.com The Perth Figure Skating Club is skating on cloud nine after being selected to run a pilot program by Skate Canada. The Perth club was one of 45 out of more than 1,200 clubs chosen, to participate in the CanSkate pilot program.
CanSkate is Skate Canada’s flagship learn-to-skate program, and is the feeder program to all other Skate Canada programs. The CanSkate program focuses on fun, participation and basic skill development. Lise Drummond, the head coach for the Perth Figure Skating Club, wrote in an email that she was very excited her club was chosen to take part in the
program. “There will be more emphasis on speed, flexibility, earlier introduction of edges, turns and stroking basics,” she said. “We will put more focus on better skill progressions to develop and reinforce stronger skating skills. The new program will challenge skaters to push their learning and encourages their progress by exposing them to more skills.”
Drummond said that her club wants to ensure that the CanSkate program will be available to all prospective skaters including figure skaters and boys and girls hockey players. “All of these proposed changes are designed to improve the skater’s skill level and quality of skating, she said. “I can see how it will have a significant impact on the development of our skaters.”
Registration will be taking place on Saturday, Aug. 14, from 9 a.m. to noon, and on Wednesday, Aug. 25 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Conlon Farm Recreation Complex. For more information on the program, go online to: http:// www.skatecanada.ca/en/skate_ for_life/programs/canskate, or contact Hilary Machan at perthfsc@yahoo.ca.

Courier thanks friend and long-time columnist BY PERTH COURIER STAFF The Perth Courier lost a long-time friend in Gwendolyn Robinson on Monday, July 19. Robinson was a sports columnist for many years with the paper, who wrote about her golfing adventures as a member of the Perth Links O’Tay Golf Club. “I met her very shortly after my husband and I moved to Perth in 1958,” said Shirley Barker, Robinson’s friend and golfing companion. “I was a tennis player then, but there were no tennis courts available, so I decided to golf at Links O’ Tay, that’s when I met Gwen.” Barker has fond memories of her time on the greens with Robinson. She said that even though Robinson excelled at golf, she was always warm and welcoming to beginners like herself. “She seemed to encourage new people to feel at home at the golf course,” Barker said. “If you were a friend of Gwen you had many funny memories. She had a tremendous sense of humour. I can consider it a privilege to have known her.” Robinson was a respected writer and member of the community and will be missed. The Perth Courier thanks Robinson for her years of warm, witty columns enjoyed by both the Courier staff and the Perth community.

Special Olympics kicking up a storm in Perth BY ANDREW SNOOK andrew.snook@perthcourier.com Athletes across the Ottawa region will be taking part in the Perth Special Olympics Hometown Games soccer tournament Aug. 21 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Conlon Farm Recreation Complex. The Hometown Games were created so local athletes with intellectual disabilities would have the opportunity to compete in more local competitions. The event is being organized by Knights of Columbus, Perth Council 3531, members Pat Loftus and Mike Watters. Loftus said that the Knights
council members have put in more than 600 hours of volunteer time to help organize the event. They also raise funds to make the Hometown Games possible through raffle draws and ticket sales. Sister councils in Smiths Falls and Carleton Place also help out by selling raffle and event tickets. “Having these games to me is a social outlet for these kids,” Loftus said. “It’s a great way for these kids to meet people.” Kim Leach, media liaison for the Special Olympics, wrote in email that research has proven physical training and athletic competition for individuals with intellectual disabilities
increases self-respect, self-confidence, enhances adaptive skills, and strengthens social and emotional development. She said that Conlon Farm will play host to 50 to 100 athletes from Perth, Kingston, Ottawa, Alexandria, Renfrew and Toronto. Loftus said that there will also be athletes from Smiths Falls participating in the tournament. Perth will have two teams competing in the tournament, coached by Knights of Columbus member Mike Goebel. As an added bonus for the audience, Constable Cory Noonan of the Perth Police Department will be organizing a team to challenge the Special Olympics
all-star team. “We’re going to be a combination of Perth police officers and Lanark County OPP,” he said. “We’re more than happy to do it; we thought it would be a great way for us to show our support for our athletes.” The all-star game will take place at 1 p.m. Admission for the event is free, Loftus hopes for a large crowd to come out and support the teams. “It’s really good when people come out and watch the kids,” Loftus said. “They’re playing their hearts out.” For more information or to volunteer, please contact Pat Loftus at 613-267-6303, or Mike Watters at 613-267-4446.

to hear how the expansiveness of the Yukon allows her creative imagination to roam. Like all of Beggs’ music, the songs on Blue Bones authentically capture the rustic charm of the Canadian north, and allow people down south to experience the vicarious thrill of life in the outback from the comfort of their homes or a seat in a concert hall. She represented the nation at Canada Day celebrations in London’s Trafalgar Square and, most recently, was a nominee in CBC Radio’s Songquest competition. “Wanderer’s Paean” earned her a Canadian Folk Music Award and Western Canadian Music Award nomination along with a Porcupine Award for Find of the Year. While “Streetcar Heart” earned her a Just Plain Folk (in the United States) award nomination. So, with all the attention garnered for her first two releases, there’s a lot riding on the release of Blue Bones. Thankfully, in working with Steve Dawson, Kim Beggs has found a collaborator capable of helping her bring her vision to its fullest fruition. Dawson’s masterful string playing graces every song in the album, and it’s a thrill to hear his national steel, electric slide and weissenborn back up Begg’s increasingly heartfelt guitar playing. With support from John Raham (drums), Keith Lowe (bass) and Chris Gestrin (keyboards) the sound of Blue Bones is as deep, rich and organic as the place the music comes from. Beggs’ performance at MERA schoolhouse is at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 5. Admission is $10, and tickets can be purchased in advance from Shadowfax (67 Foster St.).

THE LARGEST OUTSIDE SHOW IN EASTERN ONTARIO
Concerts take place at the bandstand, behind Town Hall in Stewart Park Free admission – please bring a lawn chair.
Award-winning Yukon singersongwriter Kim Beggs, on a crossCanada tour in support of her latest CD, Blue Bones, performs at the McDonalds CornersElphin Recreation Arts (MERA) Schoolhouse in McDonalds Corners on Thursday, Aug. 5. The CD release tour will be a special treat for lovers of female vocal harmonies as Beggs will be joined by fellow Appalachianinspired Yukoner Natalie Edelson. Edelson, who is also influenced by the vocal quality of Hazel Dickens’ and Alice Gerards’ coal mining songs, sings low harmony to Beggs’ sweet-dark melodies, enhancing the high lonesome sound of Beggs’ sophisticated country compositions. She also brings some colour through supporting instrumentation, including percussion, banjo and electric guitar. Beggs and Edelson have been singing together since the ragged old campfire days, and their long association shows in the unique blending of their voices. Beggs hasn’t always made her living as a singer-songwriter, and as someone who began work at the tender age of 12, the road has never been easy for her. Born in Val d’Or, Que. and raised during her younger years in the mining towns of northern Ontario, Beggs inherited a sturdy disposition before leaving her Toronto home to arrive in the Yukon in the winter of 1991. With only $50 in her pocket and a pawnshop guitar, Beggs spent more than a decade swinging a hammer and working in the trades before she started performing away from the campfire and singing her own songs. It’s often been said that all Canadian artists are influenced by geography, and even though the soul informing Beggs’ music might sound Appalachian, it’s easy

a lifetime – ensemble acting at its best. There are many things to enjoy in The Big Country. The landscape itself is a character that is overwhelming present throughout entire film. All beautifully photographed, this big country is appropriately accompanied by what some have called one of the greatest musical scores in film history. Jerome Moross’s score stands alone as a beautiful listening experience. Whether or not you care a hoot about westerns, this is a powerful moving experience. The Big Country will be screened at the Myriad Centre for the Arts (1 Sherbrooke St.) on Sunday, Aug. 8 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $5 for PFS members (a lifetime membership is $5).

For the past nine months, the Perth Film Society (PFS) has been screening classic films from the golden age of Hollywood for Perth audiences. Each evening has a particular theme, whether the focus is on award-winning directors such as Norman Jewison and Woody Allen, actors such as Bette Davis and Audrey Hepburn, and genres including romantic comedies, Hitchcock thrillers, and westerns. Many evenings involve double features and include a short talk and discussion led by a local film expert. PFS members have been thrilled with the film lineup and the combination of the big screen, an excellent sound system, comfortable seating, air conditioning, and freshly made popcorn. As part of its Classic Sundays series, the PFS is presenting a tribute to the director, William Wyler, and what is perhaps the greatest “antiwestern” epic ever made: The Big Country, starring Gregory Peck. The Big Country is a masterpiece, pure and simple. Every now and then a movie comes along that adds layers to the basic concept of its genre and becomes something more. This is the story of a man who steps into what is, for him, a totally alien world and who refuses to
accept the clichéd role expected of him. Gregory Peck is perfectly cast as the newly-arrived former sea captain and pacifist who is reluctantly thrown into the battle between two powerful families: one respected and one considered outcasts. To western observers, he is treated with indifference and his quiet, peaceful demeanour is perceived as a sign of weakness and cowardice. The emphasis in this film is on the complex personal relationships between the characters. In this breathtaking landscape, the story of the characters unfolds with their prides, jealousies, fears, loves, pretensions, hopes, and disappointments. The actors expertly convey emotional nuances not normally seen in a Hollywood western. This is a film with space in lots of senses and it gives the cast time to flesh out their characters. Along with Peck, the film also stars Charleton Heston (who almost didn’t accept his secondary role, but went on the following year to star in Wyler’s Ben Hur), the beautiful and graceful Jean Simmons, Burl Ives (who won an Oscar for his role as the purportedly villainous Rufus Hannassey, and who has all the best lines) and Chuck Connors who give the performance of

O
f all the small mammals that inhabit the backyards and back forties of Ontario, none is more familiar than that black and white pussycat – the common skunk. It’s a regular nighttime visitor to many city streets and gardens and a frequent resident of country barns and outbuildings. It is equally at home along brushy hedgerows or woodfringed meadows, while rock piles and stream banks seem particularly attractive to this slow-moving member of the weasel family. Actually, it’s this non-hurry attitude that often causes its downfall, especially when its nocturnal travels take it across the roadways of our busy society. For here we see it all too frequently in carcass form, its penetrating odour fouling up the surrounding area. The fact that it has this obnoxious perfume, which it uses only in self defence, gives the animal a sense of security and little need for speed. Only the great horned owl, flying on hushed wings above, has mastered this potent defence. As for all the other potential enemies such as the dog, fox, and coyote, the skunk is a painful revolting experience, but never a meal. And unfortunately for many household pets, it’s a lesson they never seem able to remember. I have known dogs

The Perth and District Food Bank is looking for volunteers. The food bank has only one part-time staff member; the work is done mainly by volunteers. They are the heart and soul and hands of the food bank. There are as many as 60 volunteers who work regular shifts and many more who volunteer to help out at events or on short-term projects. These volunteers meet with clients, sort and package food, clean, file and type, garden, run events and more. Some of the volunteers are seniors who have been working with us for years. Frances Batoff, Janet Cain and Bonnie Richardson, for example, have been volunteering since the food bank was housed in the old Perth Jail more than a decade ago. Some are students who need the volunteer hours or who just like to help out. Some have lived in the Perth area all their lives; others have just moved here. Last year, Canada World Youth volunteers from Honduras worked with the food bank. Each volunteer brings work and/or life experience. We think that the diversity of our volunteers makes the food bank stronger and better able to serve the community. Why volunteer at the Food Bank? As a volunteer at the Perth and District Food Bank, you will have the opportunity to develop new skills, or to contribute skills learned at work and
the food bank at 613-267-6428 for more information. At the Make a Difference with your Empties bottle drive on Aug. 28 and 29, the food bank will collect returned bottles at the Beer Store. We need volunteers to help set up, to take some shifts on that weekend and more. Contact David Kotin, team leader, at 613-2670297. And please save your empties for that weekend to donate to the food bank. In October the food bank will run its major fundraiser, the Harvest Campaign. If you are interested in canvassing, helping with communications, even stuffing envelopes, please contact Nancy Wildgoose at 613-267-0256. We have a generous garden plot behind the Lanark County building on Sunset Boulevard that needs regular weeding and must be harvested in the fall. Do you have a green thumb? Do you like to work and learn with an experienced gardener? Call Lynda Haddon at 613-267-6754. We like to keep an inventory of people interested in volunteering with us. Even if you do not see a good match for your interests listed above, call the food bank and let us know what you might want to do. We will contact you when an opportunity comes up. Join the many people who volunteer at the Perth and District Food Bank and give back to your community. We think that you will find, as one of our volunteers said, “When you give, you get!” Submitted by the Perth and District Food Bank.
home. For the past several years we have been lucky to have Dominic Richens, a computer specialist, help manage our system and files. You will meet new people and have a chance to socialize while you work in a team. There is often laughter mixed with labour when volunteers are gathered around the worktable packaging food. A growing number of volunteers are encouraging their families to work alongside them. Phill Brackenbury, his wife Carey and their children, Paige, Joey and Meaghan, all volunteered for the Perth Polar Plunge that raised money for the food bank in 2009. One of the most important reasons for volunteering at the food bank is that you will have the satisfaction of reaching out a hand to those in need. As one volunteer put it: “This is hands-on volunteering. I can see for myself that what I do makes a difference”. What kinds of volunteers are needed now? Regular volunteers to work three hours every week or every second week. The Perth and District Food Bank currently has openings for: • Drivers: We really need volunteers who are willing to pick up donated food supplies from area grocery stores, etc. These jobs involve some lifting (of grocery boxes, etc.). • Cleaners: Because we handle food we have to keep the food bank spotless.
