OPP are investigating possible additional sexual assault and Internet child luring allegations after arresting a Drummond/ North Elmsley man on similar charges on July 29. OPP executed a search warrant at a DNE home the day after learning about incidents of sexual exploitation and assault against two teen girls under age 18, who are known to the accused. Andre Renaud, 31, was charged with sexual exploitation (child luring via the Internet), invitation to sexual touching, sexual assault, sexual interference and assault. He was released from police custody on conditions and is set to appear in Perth court on Aug. 16.
While some of the allegations are more recent, the incidents span a two-year time frame, said Const. Paige Whiting of the Lanark County OPP. The allegations include contact both over the Internet and in person. Police seized a computer, which will be analyzed by the OPP’s e-crimes unit, Whiting said. Additional charges may follow, pending analysis of the computer, which could take several months, Whiting said. OPP are searching for people who may have experienced related sexual exploitation or assaults. Contact the Lanark County OPP at 613-267-2626 or give tips anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or can submit information online at www.tipsubmit.com.

When the closure caused an uproar in the community and local politicians met with Canada Post, the story changed, Newton said. She was told that an alternative design would cost her an estimated $21,000 in material costs, plus renovation costs. But Newton was upset that Canada Post could not provide a breakdown of the expenses and worried that the final bill would be much higher when the contract was signed. In the end, the material costs will be a couple thousand dollars less than estimated (including renovations) and should total around $30,000 that Newton will need to pay to renovate and reopen the postal outlet. Newton, who co-owns the Pharmasave with her husband, Robin, credited a “sufficient groundswell” from community members and local officials for the positive outcome.

Close calls for fires BY LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@perthcourier.com A fire alarm at Omya and a lightning strike at a Drummond/ North Elmsley home last Wednesday didn’t result in any damage. Crews from the BBD&E station of Drummond/North ElmsleyTay Valley Fire Rescue headed to Omya Canada’s calcium carbonate processing plant just after 2 p.m. on Aug. 4 after the fire alarm went off and there were reports of smoke inside one of the buildings.

Branded jerseys to help create Perth’s cycling identity BY LAURA MUELLER
laura.mueller@perthcourier.com Perth-logo cycling jerseys are the latest idea in a local committee’s campaign to make the town a cycling destination. The loose-fit short-sleeved tops emblazoned with “Perth� and an argyle check in the town’s signature burgundy and gold colours will be available at the Perth and District Chamber of Commerce office (34 Herriott St.). The branded jerseys will help solidify Perth’s cycling image, said Glenn Tunnock, a member of the cycling committee, which

The jerseys are produced by a Vancouver-based company Atac Sportswear, and are priced at $75 each, which is a standard price for a cycling jersey, Tunnock said. The jerseys are the cycling committee’s latest endeavour. Last year, the group produced a series of maps (available online at http://perthchamber.com/ cycling-route-maps) and this spring the committee held a bike rodeo at Conlon Farm.

Tunnock was first to cruise around town sporting his jersey, and he said it made him feel proud about his community – and it got him a few second glances. “If you have people wear them proudly, perhaps it will build up
Approximately 30 people who were working on site at Omya at the time of the incident were evacuated to the administration building during the alarm. As firefighters were leaving Omya about an hour later, they were called to a home on Foster Side Road off County Road 43 in Drummond/North Elmsley, where it was reported that lightning had struck a house. “I heard a crack and a sizzle, and I could see the lightning all around,� said the homeowner, Kathy Lemanski. Lemanski’s dogs were not the only ones scared by Wednesday’s torrential storm and lightning – Lemanski’s father’s Lombardy home was destroyed after it was hit by lightening around 18 years ago. Luckily, Lemanski’s home escaped a similar fate. Firefighters used infrared technology to check for heat and possible fires within the walls and wiring, but declared there was no risk of a fire.

Construction underway on new Maberly fire hall BY LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@perthcourier.com Tay Valley Township’s fire service is getting a much-needed upgrade, as construction on a new, $1.46-million fire hall begins in Maberly. The existing South Sherbrooke fire hall on Bolingbroke Road in Maberly has been in its current state since a 1996 renovation, but it had many lives before that, including as a restaurant. The small building can barely contain the expanding Drummond/North Elmsley-Tay Valley Fire Rescue crew and equipment, said Chief Greg Saunders. Squeezing four trucks into three bays has been an exercise in frustration, with mere inches between the vehicles and walls. “You can’t walk between them,” Saunders said. “It’s hard to move around. It’s hard to check your apparatus on a weekly basis and keep the trucks and equipment ready to go.” On top of that, two trucks must
be stored at a nearby municipal garage. The meeting/training room cannot contain the 24 volunteer firefighters who serve out of the South Sherbrooke station. The washroom facilities are also inadequate, and there is no women’s washroom, Saunders said. Work is underway to build a new hall that will cover about 800 square metres, including storage space, when complete. It will include enough space for the fire service’s current fleet of vehicles, with room to expand. There will be a station chief ’s office, as well as an office to be shared by five fire captains. A larger meeting and training room, and washrooms and change rooms for both men and women. “Our response times will be quicker, and we’ll have better access to vehicles,” Saunders said. “It’s also really good for morale,” he added. “If people are willing to give up their time, 24/7, and to be trained every few weeks, we as a

Employment program expands to Sharbot Lake BY LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@perthcourier.com A Perth youth centre hopes to inspire new employment opportunities in Sharbot Lake by expanding a job skills program. Applications are being accepted for a pilot of the Skills Link program, a six-month, full-time placement program that teaches young people both life skills and employment-readiness skills they need to enter the job market. The program, which begins on Aug. 23, will focus on the unique challenges people aged 15 to 30 face in trying to find employment while living in Sharbot Lake. “Opportunities are limited,” said Tara Cameron, program coordinator for the Youth Action Kommittee (YAK) Youth Centre, which is sponsoring the Sharbot Lake program. The main options for employment include forestry, construction, agriculture and seasonal tourism, but Cameron is hoping the Skills Link program could actually spark an entrepreneurial spirit in the participants and encourage them to create new employment opportunities for themselves – and others – in the community of about 40 kilometres west of Perth.
Correction

A story about municipal councilnominations in Tay Valley Township incorrectly stated that Coun. Wayne Jordan was a firefighter. While he never served as a firefighter, Jordan has been involved with the fire board for more than six years.
“We want to look at bringing employment back into the community and teach them how to create job opportunities for themselves,” Cameron said. “I want to focus on trades and entrepreneurship.” The program will also open doors for people who never finished high school or those who thought they couldn’t pursue postsecondary education by giving them the knowledge and skills they need, whether it is taking an equivalency test, distance education or other options. “It’s not as out-of-reach as it may seem,” Cameron said. The program is the third satellite site for the local Skills Link program. It began at YAK in 2003, and a second program has been running in Smiths Falls since 2007. The idea for the Sharbot Lake program has been in the works for about a year, when YAK was informed of the need for such a program in that location. The Sharbot Lake program will run out of the bottom floor of the North Frontenac Telephone Company building at 1019 Windwood Dr., which is located just off Highway 38 south of Highway 7. Perth resident Dave Hitchcock, a recent graduate of the social service worker program at Algonquin College’s Perth campus, will serve as the co-ordinator for the new program. He is known to many local families as the president of the minor hockey association. He has been interviewing candidates for the program and getting a sense of the employment issues that young people face in the area.

Arborists to reach for the top in Stewart Park BY LAURA MUELLER

The notion of climbing trees conjures up memories of gangly youths scampering up limbs. But ascending into leafy tree tops is not just the practice of children; in the world of professional arborists, it can become a cutthroat competition. That contest will play out in Perth on Sept. 11, when a couple dozen tree-care professionals will compete for the Ontario Tree Climbing Championship (OTCC) title in Stewart Park. It is the first time the 22-year-old tournament has come to Perth, and organizers are hoping the spectacle creates some interest in tree management and health. The competition involves five events: a simulated work climb, which mimics the everyday conditions that arborists would encounter; aerial rescue, in which climbers must rescue a dummy (representing an injured

coworker) at the top of a tree; belayed speed climb; secured footlock climb and a ground-based throwline rope challenge. “It’s a fascinating event to watch,” said Michael Bradley, one of the members of the organizing committee. He is a longtime arborist who works for the Grand River Conservation Authority in Cambridge, Ont. This isn’t your typical child’splay type of tree climbing. Commonly understood to be one of the most dangerous professions, climbers must avoid electrical lines, maneuver equipment such as chainsaws and use their physical strength and agility to move about the tree, all while relying on harnesses and ropes to keep them aloft and secure. “Our climbers are very physically fit and mentally astute,” Bradley said. “There are new challenges every moment and tremendous risks.” Although the dangers of falling out of trees or being injured by equipment are very real, Bradley said rates of injury in the trade are low. Arborists generally start their training at apprenticeship programs at community colleges, Bradley said, but most treeclimbing skills are acquired on the job. “It’s not something you learn overnight,” he said. Mentorship is important, and tree climbers have access to advisors, with approximately 300 members in the Ontario Chapter of the International Society of Arboriculture. The tree-climbing competition is the largest annual event that brings many of those members together to share techniques and network, Bradley said. “It’s the focal point of the year,” he said. Approximately 30 men and
10 women will compete on Sept. 11 in Stewart Park. During the single-day competition, the top four men and top four women in each category move on to a final round. The two champions will compete at the international level at the 2011 International Tree Climbing Championship in Brisbane, Australia. The event also draws many spectators – about 1,000, Bradley said. People from all walks of the tree-care trade come to share tips and techniques and put on a small trade show with specialized equipment for sale. Members of the public are also encouraged to attend and take in this rare spectacle; it is free to view the competition. People can also try their hand at professional tree-climbing techniques in a supervised setting. Any member of the public, but especially children, can climb using supplied equipment, with the assistance of professional arborists to ensure people stay safe while they learn how to climb a tree. All of the trees are inspected for safety before the competition begins, Bradley said. While he said the news of two older silver maples having to be removed from the park was “unfortunate,” it won’t affect the competition. The Town of Perth cut down the trees in July after a large branch fell from one of the trees, revealing a high degree of rotting within its trunk. The Perth location was chosen for “majestic” shade trees located along the Tay River, said OTCC chairperson Paul Kobold. “The event site has great trees and all the facilities required for another successful event,” Kobold stated on the OTCC website.

How is Perth’s Classic Theatre Festival doing? Gutsy director named one of The Most Intriguing People Laurel Smith, artistic producer of the new Classic Theatre Festival in Perth, was recently chosen by Ottawa Magazine as one of the six most intriguing people “who we’d like to get together with this summer for drinks, a bite to eat and uninhibited conversation.” In the write up, it stated: “Laurel Smith: Forget Stratford. The gutsy director and playwright has chosen Perth as her heritage town, launching the ambitious Classic Theatre Festival with a focus on golden oldies from the 1920’s to 1950’s. Congratulations Laurel! Matthew and Laurel have done a fabulous job of marketing the festival as well as the town of Perth. Everywhere you look, you see the bright yellow signs, boasting the theatre’s schedule. The couple hasn’t missed a beat, getting the news out to communities across Ontario. The Chamber can attest to the success of this marketing. The office has received several phone calls and visitors, either inquiring about or attending the Festival. We have witnessed several people from outside Perth, visiting our town for the first time, specifically to enjoy the production, Blithe Spirit, dine and shop. Many of these visitors will be returning to Perth for the second Production, The Voice of the Turtle.

Jewels Jewels Gently Used Clothing is a newcomer to Perth, and has welcomed warmly by local shoppers, according to new store manager Michele Baitley. After the first month, sales were very steady, and many volunteers have joined the team, proving that Big Brothers Big Sisters made the right choice in expanding their store to Perth. Jewels Gently Used Clothing operates as a fundraising entity for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County. With sales going so well, the only complaint is that more clothing donations are needed to keep up with the demand. Area residents can drop off gently used clothing for the whole family, books, and small knick knacks during store hours, which are 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday. The store is located at 37B Foster St., Perth. For information, call Michele at 613-326-0079.

No car, no problem Family swaps driving for biking and walking BY ANDREW SNOOK andrew.snook@perthcourier.com
In January of 2009, Perth resident Andy Cockburn was fighting a losing battle familiar to many automobile owners. His old, green Ford Escort required repair after repair, forcing him to consider investing in another car. That’s when Cockburn did what many people would consider unthinkable; he got rid of the car and didn’t replace it. “My wife and I were talking about whether we should buy a new car,” he said. “It was getting to a point with our old car where we had put so much money in we didn’t want to do that anymore. Then I thought, ‘What if we didn’t get another car?’” Cockburn said that the decision to make The Cockburn family enjoys a ride through Stewart Park on Thursday, Aug. 5. The family such a drastic lifestyle change stemmed has been doing their part for the environment by travelling around town without a car from his family’s unique situation. He is a full-time professor at Algonquin College’s since January of 2009. From left: Koren, Andy, Stuart (age seven) and Ruby Cockburn Perth campus in the advanced housing (age nine). Andrew Snook photo program. “We’re lucky enough that I work in town and my wife is a stay-at-home mom and the kids’ school is within walking distance,” he said. “Obviously whatever small part we could play in helping the environment is good as well.” Cockburn said that his wife Koren, and his children Ruby, 9, and Stuart, 7, are not bothered by the fact that they no longer drive everywhere. “We bike or walk most everywhere,” he
said. “If we do need a car we rent one, but we don’t spend very much in rentals.” In addition to saving money on car payments, gasoline, insurance, maintenance and repairs, Cockburn said that he finds himself making much fewer impulse buys. “Not having a car has helped us in being more frugal and making better decisions,” he said. “It’s really worked out for us.” However, giving up the car has given Cockburn his share of headaches. “Last year I went out and tried to buy a lawnmower on my bike,” he said. “It snapped the carrier on my bike and I was forced to carry the lawnmower and my bike home from Canadian Tire.” The winters have also presented some challenges to the family, but Cockburn said that it has not been that inconvenient. “If it’s a blizzard and we need to get some groceries, we can call a cab,” he said. “If it’s crazy outside we won’t go out.” Although Cockburn is happy with his decision to live without a car, he understands that it is a decision many people cannot choose. “We don’t want to preach to others on what to do. It’s impossible for some people to give up their cars because of work and lots of other reasons,” he said. “But if our family can take the car out of the driveway and get a little exerecise instead, it’s a good thing. It’s amazing what you see. You really do stop and smell the flowers, it’s nice.”

EDITORIAL OUR OPINION
Going postal pays off for downtown Perth
S
ometimes, the squeaky wheel does get the grease. That was the case with the saga of the downtown Perth postal outlet, which shut down in June when the owners of the Perth Downtown Pharmasave declined to spend about $80,000 on upgrades needed to meet Canada Post’s new space standards, which were instituted in 2008. Well, it turns out that there was another, cheaper option for renovations that would still meet Canada Post’s design regulations – an option that wasn’t presented to the store owners until after townspeople and local politicians made a stink about the closure. We have to wonder why this option wasn’t investigated sooner, when withholding it clearly only caused grief, wasted time and expense for all parties involved. But that’s neither here nor there at this point. The important thing is that in the end, local officials, including the mayor, MP and MPP, were able to successfully lobby the Crown corporation to ensure postal service remains in the downtown core. While there is another postal outlet in Perth, at the Shoppers Drug Mart on Highway 7, the narratives for keeping another postal service in the downtown area could be split into two camps. On one hand, business owners who have seen their business battered by the effects of the economy and the Wilson Street construction discouraging drivers from coming downtown see the post office as another feature that will draw people to the commercial centre of the town (if the downtown is to be considered a commercial centre). On the other hand, the issue was a matter of convenience and accessibility for people – the elderly and those with mobility or transportation restrictions. Others see the post office as an important gathering place of the community – sort of like the town’s water cooler. While the reasons aren’t mutually exclusive, they did speak to many different people’s hopes for what a post office means for the town. Hearing the protestations over the closure, one might be convinced that the presence of postal service would be a saviour for any perceived ills facing the downtown area. While it’s certainly convenient, we wonder if the ill effects of closing one of Perth’s postal outlets would have been quite as heinous as some predicted. With two postal outlets in town, Perth is already much better off that other municipalities, which have lost their postal service entirely. Tell us what you think.

Weeds stories could ‘Sally Ann’ shoppers spark change Dear Editor: Just a note to say thanks for the excellent coverage you gave to the occurrences of giant hogweed in Renfrew County and other parts of Ontario. I believe you saved many people a trip to their local hospital’s emergency department, and gave many others an explanation for injuries that they had previously sustained, not realizing that they had been exposed to hogweed or wild parsnip. The media coverage has definitely stopped the spread of giant hogweed here in our county, and probably in other parts of the province as well. An added bonus is you’ve raised the question of who should be dealing with invasive species, and how much of an economic, health and environmental impact they are having on our province. Perhaps this will stir either the provincial or federal government to action – a lack of a strategy, and the lack of a level of government being responsible for invasive species, is a glaring omission in this province right
now. I think we have something in the neighbourhood of 185 invasive species in the Great Lakes basin alone. Now, if only we could get you all interested in using wood to produce energy instead of solar or wind... Jeff Muzzi, Manager of Forestry Services for the County of Renfrew

displeased with changes
Dear Editor: Re: “Unwelcome changes,” letter to the editor from Marion Mayhew, The Perth Courier, Aug. 5. What indeed, has happened at the Salvation Army Store? The same question is being asked by the many faithful “Sally Ann” shoppers. We are also wondering why the prices have dramatically increased? Why are items priced making adjustments to income no longer possible? Why has the variety of merchandise declined? Where has the cheerful and helpful staff gone? Where has the family feeling gone? All this seems to have morphed into just another commercial thrift store with no atmosphere that made our Salvation Army shop unique. Lois MacLean, Perth
Spinning the petty crime I
f a petty crime falls in the forest, does anybody report it? Even more importantly, does anybody go to prison for it? And how exactly will we know? If there is ever another federal election, there should be some nifty spin when it comes time to discuss the long-form census issue, not to mention the criminal nature of statistics or, rather, the statistical nature of crime. It will be interesting to see what sort of stuff Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s control-freak message people come up with. True to form, the Harper government is letting its hypervigilance about privacy and secrecy trump common sense in its decision to make the completion of the long-form census voluntary instead of mandatory. After all, why would you want to have real, valid statistical information that a government could use to make informed policy and program decisions? Why, that might be a way to prevent spending, say, $13 billion on new prisons we might not need, for example. In HarperWorld™, though, you don’t actually need valid information – that’s just crazy talk. After all, valid information has to come from real people, and those folks (you and me) might not like to be asked personal questions. This from the government that is known for ducking any forum where there is no guarantee that the message can be controlled by the PMO. In HarperWorld™ made-up information is much preferred because by the time it is verified (or not) the Harperites assume we the people have all dozed off and have forgotten the original issue. Please oh please, people. Stay awake!
A StatsCan analyst went on to say, though, the most common reason people give for not calling police about a crime is that they don’t believe it to be serious enough. You know, stuff like property crimes and petty theft. (Folks tend to snitch about violent crimes.) The thing is, even if these petty crimes had been reported, they probably wouldn’t have been serious enough to warrant a jail term. Not only that, but we’re talking about building federal prisons here, and to earn yourself a spot in one of those you need to get a sentence of at least two years. Petty crime just isn’t going Past Deadline to cut it.

Shelters are up
S
tatistics show that Perth has only had a series of minor thefts during the first part of this year, but the number of transients being given shelter is on the increase. Up to the present time, shelter has been given to 115 transients. Twenty thefts have been reported, the majority being for car parts such as mirrors, wheel discs and batteries, etc. Seventy-two car accidents have been reported, with 48 being under $100 damage. No fatal accidents have occurred in the town, and only four accidents reported where people have been injured. Break-ins recorded to date total seven, namely: Jan. 2, radio stolen from the town hall, valued at $50 and owned by Robert Sergeant; May 31, two cartons of cigarettes, $2 in cash and a wristwatch valued at $30, stolen from Couch’s Service Station; May 31, a cooler was broken into at A and B Motors and about $3.90 stolen; June 5, the safe was stolen from Canadian Tire Corporation, which only contained a number of post-dated cheques. This was recovered in Ottawa. On June 29, Dominion Store was entered by breaking a front window; merchandise was removed from the store, but the thieves were interrupted by Corp. N. Gibson. Two men were later apprehended and sentenced to a year at Burritt’s Rapids. On July 17, a small quantity of cigarettes and chocolate bars were taken from the small booth on Gore Street East; on July 31, a wristwatch was stolen from a trailer owned by Fred Buker. Only two cars have been reported stolen, one from A and B Motors on June 6 and one owned by Clyde Bulloch of Balderson. Both cars were recovered, the first being in Napanee and the second in Montreal.

for violators. This new legislation, if passed at this month’s county council meeting, will close loopholes that now exist in the tree-harvesting bylaw. The impending bylaw will make it tougher on commercial operators to indiscriminately wipe out woodlots. “We never really enforced the old bylaw, and we knew this sort of thing was going on,” stated Harry Barr, chairman of the county agriculture and reforestation committee. Under the new bylaw, operators will have to file in advance with county officials their intentions of how much wood is to be cut, location, and types of trees to be cut. “There are new limitations of the size of trees to be cut, and violators can be subjected to a heavy fine, imprisonment and forced tree replanting,” said Barr. According to Barr, this notification of intention will allow the county to control and inspect the tree-harvest operation. Another major concern is the amount of clear cutting that is taking place. Currently the bylaw stipulates that a tree cut at ground level must be a minimum of 12 inches in diameter. The new bylaw will see this increased to 14 inches when cut 12 inches above ground level, and 18 inches in diameter when cut three inches above ground. Those trees protected by the bylaw with regard to cutting size include white pine, red pine, basswood, white spruce, sugar maple, yellow birch, red oak, white ash and hemlock.

A former Perth resident and the holder of the Glen Tay Block Race record, Doug Scorrar, 36, led the field from start to finish in the historic race held last Thursday evening. Scorrar, a resident of Ottawa and an employee of Sport Canada, is a regular participant in the 14.6-kilometre race. In 1976, he recorded the fastest finish time of the run, completing the course in 45:30. This year, Scorrar’s time was slightly slower, as he stormed over the finish line at 49:13 to take the first-place trophy. Participation in the block race was lower than anticipated by race officials. Organizers had expected more than 100 entries for the race, but race official Tom Graham said confusion with the date of the race and summer vacations taken by some of the runners interfered with the projected number of entrants in the race. Only 82 athletes lined up at the starting line in front of the Perth Museum on Thursday.

Canadian champion riding high andrew.snook@perthcourier.com When it comes to riding, Elaine Steele does not horse around. When the mother of three from Mountain Grove is not spending her nights as the swing manager at the McDonald’s restaurant in Perth on Highway 7, she is riding her horses, Chanticleer Shadow and Xena Warrior Princess, to victory at numerous competitions. Steele has been riding horses for 48 years; she first rode when she was four years old. “My parents have always had horses,” she said. “It runs in the family. They’re the ones that taught me to ride and raise horses.” Her first competitions were horse shows; Steele didn’t start competing in long distance riding until 1997. Steele figured she would give it a shot, and became a member of the Ontario Competitive Trail Riding Association. She later joined the Canadian Long Distance Riding Association, the American Endurance Ride Conference and Endurance Canada. Thirteen years have passed since Elaine made her decision, and she has compiled an impressive riding resume over that time.
Riding accomplishments She has competed in five Canadian Trail Ride Championships and has won an assortment of awards, including multiple gold, silver and bronze medals in competitive trail and endurance ridings at various Canadian championships. Her most recent impressive placement was on July 1 at the Ca-
nadian Trail Ride Championships, where she and Chanticleer Shadow won gold, and the title of Canadian Champion for the 50-mile (80 kilometres) endurance horse and rider. The duo finished the race in four hours and 53 minutes. “This year is the first year I’ve competed in the endurance riding at the Canadian championships,” she said. “I enjoy the endurance. It’s a lot of fun, but I prefer the trail riding. You have to pace your horse and how you manage going through the trail. There’s a lot more technical skills involved.” At the 2004 Canadian championships, Steele won the gold medal in the two-day 80-mile (128 km) ride and earned the title of Individual Canadian Competitive Trail Champion. She has also travelled south of the border to compete. In the fall of 2007, she placed fourth in the 65 mile (104 km) two-day competition at the Arabian Horse Association’s U.S. National Championship Competitive Trail Ride, held in North Carolina. Steele has been ranked one of the top 10 competitive trail riders in Ontario nine times, a top-10 endurance rider in Ontario twice, and a top-10 overall endurance rider in Ontario four times.
A family affair Steele’s accomplishments on the trails have inspired her entire family to become involved in the sport. “My family is very supportive,” she said. “My husband was the team manager at the Canadian championships. All three of my children have been at the Canadian championships with me.” Her husband, Rick Steele, a school bus driver, works as her team’s manager. The couple have
been together since the summer of 1983. “I enjoy doing it,” he said. “There are a lot of headaches and a lot of different rules, but I enjoy it. I’m very proud of her.” Their youngest son, Michael, 23, has been training as a member of Rick and Elaine’s pit crew. “He’s doing a super job,” Rick said. “I’ve won pit crew of the year four or five times from the Ontario Competitive Trail Riding Association.” Rick said that one the nicest aspects of competitive riding is the sportsmanship shown by the competitors. “If you’re having any problems people will stop to help you,” he said. “They will even jeopardize their own rides to help you.” Rick and Elaine’s oldest child, Mark, 30, was a competitive rider several years ago, while their daughter, Mandy, 26, recently began competing alongside her mother. She hopes to qualify for the 2012 Canadian championships. “Being on maternity leave and having extra time I thought it would be the next step,” Mandy said. “It’s a lot of work but I am enjoying it, there are great people I am riding with. It makes the work a lot more enjoyable.” Elaine’s vast riding experience isn’t the only knowledge related to her sport that she can offer her children. “I haven’t always just ridden for my own pleasure,” Elaine said. “I gave lessons for about 20 years, operated a boarding facility for horses and took the two-year equine studies course at Humber College. I’ve done a fair amount of training as well.” Elaine’s next major goals are to compete at the 2011 provincial championships, and qualify

Blue Wings ready to fly high at Fall Classic BY ANDREW SNOOK andrew.snook@perthcourier.com The Perth Blue Wings will be looking to soar against their competition at the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League’s (EOJHL) Inaugural Fall Classic, taking place on Sept. 18 and 19 at the Sensplex in Kanata. The Blue Wings will face off against the Westport Rideaus on Sept. 18 at 1:15 p.m., and against the Winchester Hawks on Sept. 19 at 10:30 a.m. The Westport game will be one of six games that were chosen to be televised on Rogers TV. The fall classic will replace
the traditional Boxing Day tournament, and will all give all 22 EOJHL teams the opportunity to play against non-traditional opponents from other conferences. Ex-NHL player Luke Richardson and current Ottawa Senator Jesse Winchester both attended the event. “It was a great high-level league that helped me get where I wanted to go,” said Richardson, who played for the Ottawa West Golden Knights. Richardson was drafted in the first round by the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1987. He went on to play 1,417 regular season games and 69 playoff games over his NHL
career. Richardson played for Toronto, Philadelphia, Tampa Bay, Columbus, Edmonton and Ottawa. “I think it’s going to be a great event that will continue to be something big from year to year,” said Steve Sundin, general manager and head coach for the Blue Wings. “This way you will see all 22 teams play twice, and it’s a good spot for all the scouts to come out and watch.” Sundin said that the decision to scrap the Boxing Day tournament was based on poor turnouts. “The weather was uncertain, and people are often going out of town,” he said. “We ended
up going to the tournament last year with eight players. It’s also a tough time of year school-wise, too. A lot of the players are going into exams in January, so it’s a nice break for most of them, which I think is important.” Sundin said that the coaches will also benefit from the fall classic games, since they will have an opportunity to watch teams they could potentially play against in the finals. The games from the fall classic will go towards all EOJHL teams’ 2010-11 regular season standings. “You don’t have teams sitting guys, we’re playing for keeps,” Sundin said. “One of the things
we talked about is that we wanted to make this credible. It will be very competitive and that’s what we want.” Sundin hopes the event will draw a good crowd and potentially increase the Perth team’s fan base. “I’m excited about it,” he said. “I think it’s going to be a fun weekend and its going to be good hockey.” The Blue Wings’ first home game will take place on Friday, Sept. 24 against the Athens Aeros.

Perth plays host to pro-am tournament andrew.snook@perthcourier.com Amateurs in the Ottawa area got a chance to play against the professionals during the Perth Golf Course’s first pro-am tournament on Monday, Aug. 9. The driving range and putting greens were filled with excited amateurs ready to square-off against the pros. The event was organized by Russ DaSilva, manager and di-
rector of golf for the Perth Golf Course, who said that 100 golfers came out for the event. The 19year golf pro has been organizing pro-am tournaments for 15 years. “It’s good for the amateurs and the area,” he said. “It brings new people to the course and the town.” One of the professionals who made his way to Perth for the tournament was Chris Learmonth, whose family is originally from Smiths Falls. Learmonth and DaSilva worked together at
Cedar Brae Golf and Country Club in Scarborough from 1991 to 1994. “I’ve been organizing pro-ams for 20 years,” Learmonth said. “I know how much time is involved in organizing and I wanted to help them.” Learmonth is fresh off competing at a tournament in Montreal. “If I was an amateur in the sport I’d be happy to play a pro,” he said. Learmonth said that he would be happy to offer advice to any

The Downtown Heritage Perth Business Improvement Association (BIA) has organized a golf tournament to help fund the Perth campus expansion. The tournament will take place on Sunday, Sept. 12 from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., at the Mapleview
Golf and Country Club. The BIA have committed to providing the college financial assistance over a five-year period to assist with the project. The expansion will allow for a 40 per cent increase in capacity, allowing the college to register up to 350 students. The cost of the tournament is $75 per golfer, which includes 18 holes of golf with cart, lunch with a beverage and a chance at some prizes. Businesses can also raise funds
for the project by purchasing signs that will be displayed during the tournament for a cost of $50 each. There will be a raffle, with various prizes given away, and a 50/50 draw.

• The Graffiti of Mr. Tupaia: 14 minutes in English, written by Paul Ward and directed by Christopher Dudman.

The Spiritual Cinema Circle presents a veritable feast of short films this month. Each one deeply probes some aspect of the human condition that will bring a smile to your lips and a tear to your eyes. And since festivals are in such fashion, let us call this the Spiritual Cinema Short Film Festival. The difference is that this festival will only be in town for one afternoon: Sunday, Aug. 29 at 2 p.m. at the Myriad Centre for the Arts (inside the Old Perth Shoe Factory at 1 Sherbrooke St. E.). Don’t miss it. The cost for entrance is a $2 donation towards the theatre rental. Different films are shown on the last Sunday of each month at 2 p.m. For more information, contact Jim Deacove at 613-2674819 or fp@superaje.com.
to blend in, they form tentative friendships with a group of people who may hold the key to their quest. • Grande Drip: 20 minutes English, written and directed by Angela Salvatore Restaino. Each morning, straight-laced copy manager Eric buys a cup of joe from the strip-mall coffee shop, hoping the cute, bespectacled barista will wait on him. When she does, he can barely muster the courage to say anything but his order. Will an eccentric, well-intentioned “regular” be successful in bringing the two together? There will a brief intermission at 3 p.m. • Be My Brother: eight minutes English, written and directed by Genevieve Clay. A young man with Down syndrome entertains himself with his tape recorder while waiting for the bus. Using charm, wit and Shakespeare, he tries to engage two other people, attempting to break down barriers. An unexpected moment occurs between the strangers. • Edgar: 12 minutes in German with English subtitles, written and directed by Fabian

Perth’s two community choruses, the Women of the Tay and the Men of the Tay, will have interim directors for the forthcoming season. Shelley McLaren, director of the men’s chorus since its beginning in 2002, and the women’s chorus since it began in 2008, will be taking a sabbatical year to complete a pastoral assignment with husband Brent McLaren as part of a diaconate formation program. This is the last year of five years of study leading up to Brent McLaren’s ordination as a deacon in the Roman Catholic Church. Both McLarens are well known in musical circles in Perth and the surrounding area, and as Mr. and Mrs. Perth Town Crier. Mary Ellen Grigor, a member of the soprano section of the Women of the Tay since the 200809 season, will be its interim director for the 2010-11 season. The interim director of the Men of the Tay will be Dr. Carl Whitehouse, a member of the bass section of the chorus. Both interim directors have extensive choral experience. Grigor is a graduate of Trinity College of Music, in London, England. She comes from a musical family and is a classically-trained pianist and cellist. She has sung in choirs since her early school days in Britain and is currently a vocal student of Shelley McLaren. Grigor has taught piano, music theory, recorder and cello locally for almost 20 years. She also directed a community choir in Lanark for four years and has served as organist at several Lanark-area churches. Whitehouse has been with the Men of the Tay since 2008. He studied music at the Northwestern University School of Music in Evanston, Ill., before deciding to go into health care. While pursuing his medical career he has maintained an active interest in music as a singer and as a conductor of several church choirs and community choruses in Burlington, Swanton and St. Alban’s, Vt. He is a part-time resident of Rideau Ferry and is well known in the Perth area as a volunteer with the Perth Rotary Club Guatemala eye clinic project.
Accompanists Pam Newton of the Women of the Tay and Valerie Leavitt of the Men of the Tay will continue to assist the choruses this season. The men’s chorus will hold its first rehearsal of the season at 7 p.m. Monday, Aug. 30 at the First Baptist Church on D’Arcy Street in Perth. Subsequent rehearsals will be held at the choruses’ usual location at Perth and District Collegiate Institute. Rehearsals for the Women of the Tay will begin at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 15, at St. John Catholic High School. Both choruses welcome new
