Idling fines to start next year

IN BRIEF Lanark man in serious condition after ATV crash A 71-year-old Lanark Highlands man was airlifted to hospital after the ATV he was driving hit a tree.

The crash occurred on Saturday, Aug. 14 at around 4 p.m.

Lanark County OPP said the ATV was travelling west on Watsons Corners Road when it left the roadway on the north side, where it struck a small tree and threw the man off the vehicle.

Police said the man was travelling alone and was not believed to be wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. He was discovered shortly afterwards by a passerby and taken to the Perth hospital before being airlifted to Ottawa Civic Hospital with lifethreatening injuries.The injured man’s name was not released and the cause of the crash is still being investigated.

Mike Brown hopes to make splash at London 2012

BY ANDREW SNOOK andrew.snook@perthcourier.com Mike Brown has made big waves in the swimming world.

The Perth native has decided to jump out of retirement and dive back into the pool in hopes of representing Canada at the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London.

The 26-year-old announced his retirement more than a year ago, in May of 2009.

“It has been about six months in the process to come to a decision,” he said.

Brown was watching the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics while working as a real estate agent in Calgary. He said that watching the games helped him put everything in perspective.

“Being a world-class athlete has a time frame on it; I can work for a corporation anytime,”

he said. “I miss the racing and representing my country.”

Brown swam for the national team for eight years, specializing in the 200-metre breaststroke. He holds the current Canadian record for the event with a time of 2:08.84.

Brown said that his passion for the sport and his country were his main reasons for his decision to return to the sport, but his desire for the podium after impressive his fourth-place finish at the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics was also a factor.

“Obviously I would love to be on the podium. It’s always a goal,” he said. “But it wasn’t the only reason for me to come back, I love my country and I love my sport.”

Brown said that his competitive spirit has never faded and that the break that the year-long break Mike Brown has jumped out of retirement and back into the pool he took from the sport has been a for a shot at representing Canada at the 2012 Summer Olympics in Stock photo.

Planned TVT solar farm worries neighbours

BY LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@perthcourier.com Clear cutting a forest to make room for solar panels doesn’t make sense, say residents and the reeve of Tay Valley Township.

Details of a proposed solarenergy farm on Narrow’s Lock Road are beginning to emerge in advance of a public meeting on Thursday, Aug. 26 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the township hall on Harper Road.

Northland Power called the meeting to provide information about the project, which is slated to include between 45,000 and 55,000 solar panels on a, 85-hectare (210-acre) privately-

owned property located between Scotch Line Road (County Road 10) and Stanley Road.

While residents in the area say they support greener types of energy production, they are concerned about the effects a project of this magnitude could have on the forest and wetland habitats on the property, as well as wildlife.

“It’s green for green,” said Johana Lintaman, whose Stanley Road home is surrounded by the proposed solar farm.

She found out about the solar farm when a neighbour told her she would be receiving a notice from Northland Power in the mail.

The area of the proposed solar farm contains a forest that surrounds Lintaman’s home. It’s a forest that only recently recovered from the effects of the 1998 ice storm. Birds and other wildlife have finally returned and are flourishing, Lintaman said.

The trees would likely be razed to make way for solar panels, which would not only destroy the habitat of deer, porcupines, birds and other wildlife, but would also increase the risk of soil erosion, which could have a negative effect on the water table.

There are also two wetlands within the boundaries of the solar farm property, and another wetland directly adjacent.

While plans for the project (available at www.northland power.ca/northburgess) indicate buffers may be left along the property’s edges to block the panels from view, Lintaman is worried about the effect the solar farm will have on her enjoyment of her property, and on her property’s value.

“I would have never, of my own free will, chosen to live next to something like that,” Lintaman said. “It’s not that I’m against it, but it’s being thrown in my backyard without me knowing about it.”

Lintaman said she isn’t the only one who is concerned. Derek See ‘Planned solar farm’, Pg. 3 409219

Perth drivers should get ready to be dinged for idling their vehicles, as the town plans to enact an anti-idling bylaw next summer.

While the bylaw will not apply to vehicles stopped in traffic or at railways crossings, it will be enforced for vehicles in parking spaces, parking lots and driveways. Drivers caught idling will be slapped with an $8 fine starting June 30, 2011.

Town councillors approved the bylaw during a committee-of-the-whole meeting on Aug. 10, but it must still receive council’s final stamp of approval on Aug. 31.

In the bylaw, idling is defined as the operation of the engine while the vehicle is not in motion; however, no time limit is given for how long a vehicle should be idling before a ticket is issued.

Vehicles that are being used to operate auxiliary equipment are exempt, as are boats, emergency vehicles in use or training, armoured vehicles, vehicles in parades, and a few other reasons.

The move comes at the request of the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) of Perth and District. EcoPerth intiated a push for an antiidling bylaw about 10 years ago and the CFUW lobbied council for a bylaw in 2006-7, but the idea failed to gain traction. Members of the group approached town council again this June, prompting councillors to ask town staff to draft a bylaw for consideration.

Peggy Land, chair of the CFUW’s environment committee, said the group is “cautiously optimistic” about the bylaw. “This looks to be a very workable bylaw,” she said.

Mayor John Fenik said he was in support of the bylaw, but said idling is a provincial issue and

Police gender pay equity will cost Perth $75,642

BY LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@perthcourier.com Perth will pay $65,779 to compensate for underpaying female police staff since 1990.

A lengthy review that began in 2003 recently concluded that is the amount needed to account for historic pay imbalances in the Perth Police Service.

“At the end of the day, we’re happy it’s been done,” said Const.

Steve McElravy, president of the Perth Police Association, adding that he was surprised the back pay totalled such a large amount.

According to a town report, Perth believed that pay equity was achieved through bargaining and arbitration with the police services board. The town originally began evaluating job classes in 1989, a year after the Ontario Pay Equity Act came into effect.

While a pay-equity plan was developed by 1992, it was never implemented or fully reviewed by the town because it was deemed unnecessary because equality was thought to have been achieved through contract bargaining.

The oversight first came to light

in 2003, when the Perth Police Association made an application to the Pay Equity Commission.

In 2007, the Perth Police Service Board hired a consultant and a committee was created, including former police chief Claude Brett, the mayor and members from the police association.

According to the town report, the committee didn’t think there would be any “extenuating financial obligations” resulting from the review and did not develop a budget plan.

“Some years were missed,” Perth Mayor John Fenik said.

“This amount represents what it’s going to take to achieve pay equity for current and past female officers.”

McElravy said the payroll adjustment will affect more than a dozen current and past female employees.

In the end, retroactive payroll adjustments were required at a cost of $64,779. An additional $19,863 was spent on consultants during the process. Council approved the budget deviation to account for the $75,642 price tag.

McElravy said the pay-equity Lola Kirkham, 5, doesn’t mind getting a bit wet as she has fun under the spray from the Perth Fire plan will be reviewed annually to Department’s hose at Conlon Farm during the Perth United Soccer Club’s annual house league ensure it is up to date. tournament on Saturday.

COUNCIL Perth council BRIEFS briefs The following matters were discussed at the Aug. 10 committee-of-the-whole meeting of Perth town council.

MAKING A SPLASH

High school/recreation centre idea gains traction

Maintaining twinning relationships

BY LAURA MUELLER

Representatives from Perth, Ont., should travel to our sister city in Scotland during each four-year term of council. That’s the recommendation from a group of town councillors and staff who travelled to Perth and Kinross, Scotland, to take part in 800th anniversary celebrations there this summer.

“It became clear to me how important it is to twin,” said Mayor John Fenik, one of the members of the delegation. “We have to continue to make sure we are nurturing those friendships.

“As long as I’m around, I will support these twinnings, because they are so important,” he said.

The recommendation also encourages council to hold an annual video conference with Perth, Scotland to “discuss matters of mutual significance,” and that a minimum of four letters be sent from the mayor to the provost of Perth and Kinross each year.

Director of community service Shellee Evans, one of the members of the Scotland delegation, presented a report about the trip to council. She described the various activities and ceremonies local officials attended.

She also highlighted the benefits of strengthening ties with twinned municipalities: putting Perth, Ont. on the world stage for tourism promotion, discovering our town’s heritage roots, observing best practices for celebrating the town’s upcoming 200th anniversary and gaining ideas for citizen engagement, economic development and more.

Coun. Beth Peterkin said the trip was a great opportunity for networking and sharing ideas.

People in Scotland expressed interest in the concept of a co-operative shop, like Riverguild here in Perth.

“That’s just an example of the things we could learn from each other,” Peterkin said.

The town’s delegation included Peterkin, Evans, Coun. Judy Brown, heritage manager/ curator Karen Rennie, community member Glenn Tunnock, Fenik and his wife, Laurie Clavette. The budget allotted for the June 28 to July 9 trip was $5,000; actual spending amounted to $4,017.

SF might send organic waste to Perth Smiths Falls is considering a green bin program that would divert organic waste from a landfill.

Staff members from Smiths Falls have spent roughly two months investigating waste programs that parallel the efforts in Perth, said Smiths Falls’ director of administrative and planning services, Elaine Mallory. Staff from Smiths Falls has approached Perth to explore the option of Perth processing organic waste from the Smiths Falls area.

“This is an opportunity to take advantage of a municipal partnership,” said Mallory. “We naturally thought of (Perth).”

Mallory said Smiths Falls is also contemplating using the compost site located along Hwy. 43 (east of Hillcrest Cemetery).

The rate for organics at the Perth landfill site is $50 per tonne; the town also charges a 50 per cent surcharge for any material received from outside Perth’s boundaries.

Diverting organic waste helps extend life of a landfill, saving the town money in the long run, because the town wouldn’t have to search for alternative landfills.

Perth’s environmental services director, Grant Machan, said he would entertain the request to proceed with discussions with the Town of Smiths Falls, and Perth councillors agreed.

Perth staff is expected to report back to committee of the whole to provide an update regarding the discussions in the future.

The Town of Perth and the public school board are planning to discuss the concept of integrating a rebuilt high school and recreation facility.

Mayor John Fenik first proposed the idea of a joint high school/community centre in July after he returned from a trip to Perth, Scotland, where he saw the success of this model.

Perth and District Collegiate Institute is scheduled to be rebuilt within the next few years, local trustee Bill MacPherson said, indicating that he was open to the idea of discussing a recreational facility being incorporated

into the school.

MacPherson, who sits on the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB), sent a letter to town council reaffirming that commitment.

“He (MacPherson) suggested they could be combined as part of our recreational feasibility study,” Fenik said.

The recreational feasibility study was conducted last year and indicated a desire and need to expand recreational opportunities for residents of Perth, Drummond/North Elmsley, Tay Valley and Lanark Highlands townships.

The town collaborated with DNE and TVT to propose a joint facility featuring a pool and ice rinks, but the

project stalled when it failed to receive federal and provincial funding last year.

“We didn’t want to put that on the shelf, but look for new options for it,” Fenik said of the recreational feasibility study.

Since Fenik is employed by the UCDSB as a youth counsellor, he declared a pecuniary interest. Coun.

Judy Brown, Deputy Mayor John Gemmell, Coun. Beth Peterkin, Tim Simpson (chief administrative officer) and Shellee Evans (director of community services) indicated that they would take up the cause and communicate with the board about the idea.

The county will install a sign marking Stewart Park as one of the Seven Wonders of Lanark County.

The park is the only one of the seven wonders that is located in the Town of Perth. The others are Blueberry Mountain in Lanark Highlands, the fivespan stone bridge in Pakenham, the Mill of Kintail in Mississippi Mills, the Showy Lady’s Slipper Orchids at Purdon Conservation Area in Lanark Highlands, Silver Queen Mica Mine at Murphys Point Provincial Park in Tay Valley Township and St. Peter Celestine Church in Pakenham.

The circular sign will be installed at the entrance to the park near the Doug Cavers Bridge, because other park entrances already have signs or interpretive stations. Several committees reviewed the sign proposal and made suggestions about wording and photo selection for the sign.

Economic development drives council bid

Idling fines to start next year

BY LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@perthcourier.com

409483

Coun. Ed McPherson wants to come back to the council chambers, but he wishes there was more competition in the race.

“I wish people with kids would run; I wish businesspeople would run,” McPherson said.

If more people were engaged in local politics, they would have a better understanding of how the town is run, he said.

McPherson has been gaining an understanding of local affairs for 13 years. He first got into local politics on a whim, because his neighbour had to drop out of the race at the last minute, and McPherson filed for nomination in his place.

“I had no idea what I was getting myself into,” he said.

Now, after serving on the fire board, water board and environmental services board, and spending six years as the chair of corporate services, McPherson says he has a full grasp of how the town works.

“I don’t think the average taxpayer understands the responsibilities of council,” he said, describing how municipalities’ responsibilities have increased due to “downloading” from the provincial level of government during McPherson’s time on council.

In the past term of council, McPherson said the major accomplishment has been working with the former director of corporate and environmental service, Jorgen Hoeven, to reduce the town’s reliance on borrowing money for day-to-day operations.

Perth has also become a leader in waste management, extending the life of the landfill site by introducing an organics recycling program, McPherson said.

“Perth is the leader in this issue,” he said. “Now, Smiths Falls and other communities are looking to us as an example.”

For the next term, McPherson said he will be pushing to improve economic development in the town. He would like to set up a formal committee to address the issue and find new ways to attract business, industry and residents to town.

That effort would include a concentrated effort to encourage developers to begin work on lands

the town should be lobbying the province to enact anti-idling legislation. He also said that enforcement of the bylaw is important. “We need teeth with this,” he said.

Coun. Judy Brown echoed Fenik’s concerns, but spoke against the bylaw because of enforcement issues she had seen in other municipalities that have similar bylaws. Brown also expressed concern about the lack of an idling time limit written into the bylaw. According to Natural Resources Canada, the 20 Ontario municipalities that currently have idling-control bylaws typically set a three- to five-minute time limit.

Coun. Bill White agreed, say-ing it would cost the town too much to hire new staff to enforce the bylaw. Idling is “a fact of life,” he

said, and an education campaign would have a greater impact.

“Adding fines and that frustration – I don’t think that’s going to work,” White said.

Coun. Ed McPherson agreed that the proposed $75 fine was too high. Brown asked that the bylaw be changed to lower the fine to $8 instead.

“I don’t support this bylaw as it is currently written,” McPherson said. “Is it going to be effective or just make people mad?”

Coun. Beth Peterkin countered their concerns, saying, “There will always be folks who don’t get caught; it’s the same as speeding.”

The bylaw is needed, Peterkin said, to show that Perth is on the “environmental forefront.”

In the end, the majority of

coun-cillors supported the move.

About $4,000 will be spent on a campaign to educate the public about the harmful environmental and health effects of idling. After Peterkin approached EcoPerth, the group agreed to design and print 2,000 information flyers or bookmarks at its own expense.

The CFUW will also assist with education, with help from Canada World Youth program participants who are in Perth for the next three months.

Enforcing the bylaw will cause an estimated 10 per cent increase in “on the street” enforcement costs in 2011. The estimated cost to enforce the bylaw for the final six months of next year is $3,750. Signs would be erected to indicate that Perth is an “idlefree” town.

“They didn’t want to push me one way or the other,” he said.

“Nobody pushed me, which is probably the best thing. They’re all extremely supportive.”

Brown has already begun training and said that his year off and age should not prevent him from making the national team.

“I wasn’t training to the extent that I was (when competing) but I’m still being active running and swimming,” he said. “There’s a little work that I need to do, but I already feel great in the water.

All the coaches and support staff are behind me. I’m pretty excited for the next two years,” he said.

Planned solar farm worries neighbours a Lanark County tree-cutting bylaw, which restricts clear cutting. Kerr said he and Deputy Reeve Susan Freeman would not support an exemption that would allow Northland Power to cut down the trees, if the company must request that exemption from the county.

The project would still be subject to environmental assessments (including reviews by Rideau Valley Conservation and the

Ministry of Natural Resources), said Noelle Reeve, the director of planning for Tay Valley Township.

Northland Power will hold another public meeting in the fall to inform residents about the results of the assessments.

Hockin said a different developer iniatiated the project last year, and Northland took over planning for the solar farm last November.

Stanley Road resident Johana Lintaman is concerned that the dense forest shown here behind her home will be clear cut to make way for a proposed 10-megawatt solar farm.

Revving support for motorcycle ride

BY PERTH COURIER STAFF

Hundreds of bikers are joining up along the way for parts of the ride, and approximately 120 riders rode the stretch on Aug. 11.

The ride has expanded to include events across the country,

and has raised a total of $5 million in the 23 rides that have taken place so far. This year, part of the money raised will also go to assist the military families support fund.

More than a hundred motorcycles stormed through Perth to raise money and awareness for prostate cancer research last week.

The 10th-annual Motorcycle Ride for Dad made a stop at Charlie Brown’s Christmas Tree Farm in Drummond/North Elmsley during the trek from Ottawa to Kingston on Wednesday, Aug. 11.

BALANCE AND HARMONY

Local man arrested during prison farm protest

BY LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@perthcourier.com A few months ago, Gerry Capelle couldn’t have imagined he would be arrested over some cows. But that’s just what happened to the 65-year-old Perth resident, who was one of several local people who travelled to Kingston on Aug. 8 and 9 to protest the closure of a prison farm.

Protest action against the closure of the farms, which supporters say play a key role in rehabilitating low-risk prisoners, has picked up in recent weeks. The debate climaxed when a group of protestors from Save Our Prison Farms attempted to block trucks from removing a prize dairy herd from Frontenac Institution.

Capelle, a film animator, was among 24 people arrested over

the weekend. Although the herd was removed from the farm and auctioned off, Capelle said he and other protestors felt their actions made an impact.

“That is what I went down for – to take it to the limit,” he said.

“We could wave a sign, which says ‘We disagree with you,’ or we could show that we disagree with you so much that we are willing to put ourselves and our (criminal) records on the line.”

Capello said he as always been politically aware and previously participated in local protests about uranium mining, but only recently jumped on board with Save Our Prison Farms because he sees the closure of the farms as “cold blooded cruelty to dismiss this form of rehabilitation.”

The federal government decided to close Canada’s six remaining

prison farms after a 2008 review determined they were not useful because few prisoners were finding agricultural work after being released.

Susan Quipp, another Perth resident who attended the protest, said the farms were “amazingly successful” and criticized the Conservative government for not consulting the public before ordering the farms’ closure.

She said the farms teach minimum-security inmates valuable skills, while making them less frustrated and angry during incarceration, which makes them less likely to re-offend when they are released from prison.

“They are extremely therapeutic,” Quipp said. “It’s a nobrainer.”

The farms also fed prisoners at a lower cost than the government

will have to pay in order to purchase mass-produced food, Quipp said. The farms are also ideal places to try out innovative farming techniques, she added.

Capelle and Quipp were among a half dozen or so protesters from the Perth area who participated in the Aug. 8 and 9 blockade.

Capelle was arrested on the second day, when approximately 30 Kingston police officers were joined by more than 100 tactical OPP officers, Capelle said.

“The atmosphere completely changed” after the OPP arrived on the second day, Capelle said.

He was one of the final two protestors arrested. Police calmly arrested him when he broke through a line of officers and attempted to put himself in front of a cattle truck to prevent it from leaving the farm.

Spending more than 12 hours in a holding cell with fellow protesters, whose ranks included university professors and people of all ages, from 20s to 80s, was an “ennobling and inspiring experience,” Capelle said.

He anticipated that many of the protestors arrested would end up pleading guilty to the mischief charges.

While the protest didn’t save the Frontenac Institution farm, Quipp said the group can now turn its attention towards lobbying to start up farms at all federal and provincial prisons that have available land.

EDITORIAL OUR OPINION

Going green pays off

P

erth frequently trumpets its green credentials, but far from being greenwashing, the town can back up its claims.

From participating in the development of a plan for a sustainable neighbourhood (PerthWorks) to encouraging the Perth and District Chamber of Commerce’s cycling initiatives, the town considers environmentally friendly avenues in many of the decisions it makes.

Particularly for such a small town, Perth makes an effort to consider sustainability.

Now, Perth will join about 20 municipalities in Ontario that have instituted anti-idling bylaws.

In a report from town staff, the idea of an anti-idling bylaw is likened to anti-smoking bylaws in the mid-1990s. The town passed a bylaw restricting smoking in its buildings in 1996, but a more encompassing bylaw banning smoking in public areas was defeated by council.

So far, the anti-idling bylaw has escaped the same fate.

The bylaw still needs to be approved by council, and there is a chance that it may not make it through. Councillors were split on whether to approve the proposed bylaw in committee-of-the-whole; the tie was broken by Deputy Mayor John Gemmell, who voted in favour of the anti-idling bylaw.

While the bylaw will add about $9,000 into the town’s budget, between education and enforcement, many would argue that it is a small price to pay to contribute to encouraging environmentally responsible lifestyles, and to situate Perth as a green-conscious town.

And as Ottawa residents look to move outside the city to retire or commute (particularly with the expansion of Hwy. 7), focusing on environmental initiatives is one way to make the Town of Perth stand out and attract newcomers here.

Another Perth green initiative that is attracting attention is the town’s green bin program. While Ottawa media are ripe with residents griping about maggot and raccoon-infested green bins, Perth residents seem fairly well adjusted to the program, which has been running for nearly two years.

The program is attracting notice from neighbouring municipalities, including Smiths Falls, which is now in talks with Perth to see if our town’s organics processing pad could receive waste from a Smiths Falls green bin program.

The green bin program in Perth diverts 28 per cent of organic material from the landfill. At any given time, there are approximately 2,500 tonnes of compost in various stages on the compost site.

The pad can hold up to 4,600 tonnes of material.

Other green initiatives are on the horizon, including an amendment to indicate Perth’s commitment to green, healthy lifestyles in the town’s official plan.

We applaud this focus on sustainability, when it has teeth and makes sense for the health of the town’s residents and finances.

The challenge in the future will be ensuring these efforts accomplish the environmental altruism they set out to achieve, instead of simply giving the appearance of sustainability.

County council remuneration and expenses soar Dear Editor: Recently, while doing some research for the Lanark Highlands Ratepayers’ Association, I obtained a copy of the county council remuneration and expenses statements for the past few years, and what a shock!

In the past three years, the total remuneration and expenses for Lanark County council members (composed of mayors, reeves and deputies) has increased by 60.6 per cent.

In 2006 (the last year of the previous council) the total payment was $308,070. In 2009 the amount increased to $494,792. The average payment to the 16 councillors (including the warden) representing the eight municipalities increased from $19,254 in 2006 to $30,925 in 2009.

Thinking that perhaps this was a “catch up” situation, I also obtained the statements from two other neighbouring counties. In Renfrew County, the 17 councillors each representing one municipality received a total payment of

$157,653 for 2009.

Leeds and Grenville also has one representative for each of the 10 municipalities and the total payment for 2009 was $312,888. With only one representative for each municipality, one would think the workload for each representative would be substantially greater.

We all have our priorities for how our taxes should be spent, but I doubt that paying excessive remuneration to elected representatives places very high on anyone’s list.

Perhaps there is a logical explanation for the substantial increase in remuneration for the county councillors and hopefully someone will come forth with the justification.

The statements produced by the county showing the details of the remuneration for each year can be found in the “What’s New” section of the LHRA website: www.lhra.ca.

Blame game Dear Editor: Please explain to me the rationality of a business posting a sign in their window that they are closed Saturdays for the summer months.

Saturday is the day working people have off to do their shopping and if they can’t do it in Perth, they will go elsewhere.

If they want an extra day off, close on a Monday like they used to. I just went to The Office to buy some items and it was closed. Last Saturday I went to get an oil change for my wife’s car, as she works out of town and Saturday is the only time we can do this. Guess what? What used to be Uncle Tom’s is closed on Saturdays for the summer months.

Most stores that do open do not do so until 10 a.m. and close at 5 or 5:30 p.m. Almost sounds like what used to be banker’s hours.

I have no sympathy for store owners who complain about people not supporting them and shopping elsewhere. Support is a two-way street. Make your business available and affordable to the customers and they will shop here.

More bad news about fish I ’ve learned a thing or two about neon tetras in the last six months.

There are many schools (schools – get it? Fish joke) of thought out there about these little fish, and I’m tending to agree with those who say they are extremely sensitive.

For those of you who have been following my Fish Tank of Doom saga, there’s more. I’m hoping some sort of fish police don’t pull up to my front door and cart me away to rehab for well-meaning fish keepers.

Neon tetras are silver with red and blue racing stripes and they are quite lovely. They zoom around the tank and are such fun to watch.

Unless they’re dead.

The whole saga started after the last of Boychild’s long-lived goldfish floated to the proverbial aquarium in the sky. We decided on neon tetras because they’re so flashy and because I had kept some years ago with no problem or fuss.

The story of our first batch of 14 ended badly. Some rather serious water chemistry issues led to 100 per cent mortality within 24 hours.

We learn from our mistakes, though, and when we purchased a fresh dozen (from a different store – too embarrassed to go back to the first), we were certain we had solved all problems.

This is a great theory if you follow basic fish-introduction rules, primarily: float the bag, you idiot!

Floating the bag is literally that. You put the bag of fish in your tank for a while so they get used to the temperature and so that you can slowly exchange the water.

recommended. We got eight new neon tetras and four little peppered corys that look like spotted catfish and comb through the pebbles looking for debris with their whiskers. Very cute.

The tank was ready. I tested the water. I floated the bag. I tested the bag water. I exchanged the water. I slowly and carefully released the new fish. I tested the water again.

And we watched.

Things looked great. The new fish (which were frighteningly tiny) schooled with the old fish.

They zoomed around. They ate.

There was no sign of shock and no sign of ick – no sign of Past Deadline anything.

And then, one by one over 48 Dumping new fish directly into hours, each of the new little a tank results in shock.

Long-form census too invasive totally irrelevant to a census count and many were extremely invasive and personal. After reading it I decided it went too far and put it aside without filling it out.

Several weeks after the deadline I received a phone call from Stats Canada. They knew who I was, where I live, my phone number and that I had been sent a long-form census which I hadn’t returned. So much for privacy and secrecy!

I told them that I fully

understand the importance of a census count and would gladly complete a short form.

They refused my offer and threatened me with legal action. Subsequent phone calls threatened me with a large monetary fine and finally jail time!

Do you really think that “real people” forced to complete a long-form census under such duress would provide “valid information”?

Government priorities distorted on census Dear Editor: Re: “Spinning the petty crime”

by Stephanie Gray, The Perth Courier, Aug. 12.

Stephanie Gray showed courage as well as insight in her column questioning the Harper government’s priorities. Her view that in HarperWorld (TM), the facts are distorted to

justify building more prisons might not go down well in this Conservative-leaning town.

But Ms. Gray was right to hammer her point home so forcefully and eloquently.

Genuine conservatives are equally appalled that at a time of fiscal deficit, the government is using false logic about

“unreported crimes” as an excuse to pour billions of dollars into new prisons. This comes right on top of a $16-billion contract for new fighter planes, which wasn’t even put out for competitive bids.

In what sense is this government accountable or, for that matter, conservative?

The ABCs of composition I seem to keep coming back to the topic of composition in photography. There’s a good reason for that – it has been a topic of discussion (and controversy) for many hundreds of years in the world of art, and, for the last 150 years, in the photographic community too.

Many people have attempted to make rules, lay down definitions, expound theories and otherwise pigeon-hole this vast topic.

Easier said than done! I just finished reading a book by Michael Freeman in which he attempted to analyse every possible aspect of composition in photography. It was extremely heavy slogging and I’m not sure if that’s the right approach for everyone.

Ansel Adams said that good photography is about knowing where to stand. Think about that for a moment. It makes a lot of sense – oversimplified, of course, but what a great starting point.

We’ve all been to tourist spots where a sign tells us where to stand to get a particular shot.

How do you feel about that? Take the picture there and you have exactly the same photo as countless thousands do. Would it be more satisfying to look around and find a different angle?

Guy Tal wrote an article on composition which he called the ABCs of Composition. Angle, Balance and Crop. It’s interesting to read other photographers’ ideas on the subject. We may not always agree with what they say, but it gets us thinking.

Tal says that the big enemy of good composition is impulse shooting. You see an interesting view and, click, it’s done – move on to the next spot. I agree with that and have been guilty of doing it, later wishing I’d taken more time to refine the shot.

An interesting angle helps to make our photo just a bit different from everyone else’s, and that’s satisfying. To get that different angle, we need to move around and experiment – don’t just stand next to the sign that says “Shoot the picture here,

be harder than it sounds as too much clutter is confusing to the viewer, while only one element dead centre can be just plain boring. Think such things as rule of thirds, diagonals and repeating patterns.

Cropping. Purists say we must crop in the camera during the picture-taking process. There is a lot to be said for that – get it right to start with and save a lot of time afterwards. However, in a less-than-perfect world, we may have to crop later on in an editing program, or even (gasp) in an image printing machine.

Satellite spotted from Perth Large numbers of Perth residents reported seeing the U.S. “Echo” satellite orbiting high over Perth on Tuesday night about 11:40 p.m.

A few days ago it was launched by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Aluminized skin on the surface of the balloon is thinner than the cellophane wrapper on a package of cigarettes.

The satellite circles the earth in a little over two hours’ time, and when passing over Perth appeared to be a huge star, giving off the various colours in its flight. A number of citizens motored into the country, where a better view could be had, as there were no obstructions of trees or buildings.

Lighting improvements made to two intersections The new lighting arrangement at the Lanark turn-off at Dufferin Street has been completed and has answered the long-awaited need for better vision for night driving in this area.

Hydro workmen are now working at the intersection of Wilson and Dufferin Street, and this week will see the completion of the work.

These two intersections have created driving hazards for some time, and the extra lighting will be a great relief to motorists travelling on these roads.

Perth’s junior hockey journeyman

BY ANDREW SNOOK andrew.snook@perthcourier.com Samuel Coyne is a journeyman of junior hockey. The 21-yearold has played for nine different teams in his junior hockey career.

Coyne started his hockey career when he was only five years old, living in Smiths Falls. He played for a variety of teams growing up, including the Rideau St. Lawrence Kings and the Ottawa Valley Titans. He moved to Perth in Grade 8 and a few years later he was playing for the Perth Blue Wings.

He said his favourite hockey memory to date was helping the Blue Wings win the Valley Division Championship.

Unfortunately, Coyne’s junior career has not panned out the way he had hoped.

“My junior career has been a bit of a mess,” he said. “I had two major injuries, a torn MCL in my knee and a major separated shoulder with several torn ligaments. When I was younger I was predicted to do a lot better than what I’ve done. In Titans I had back-to-back seasons where I had 100 points.”

Coyne said when he was growing he modelled his play after NHL superstar and power

forward Eric Lindros, who also dealt with a number of serious injuries throughout his career.

Coyne has been sidelined due to injury for a significant number of games over his junior hockey career and he said it often resulted in him being traded.

Over his junior hockey career, Coyne has played for the Perth Blue Wings, Kanata Stallions, Brockville Braves, Smiths Falls Bears, Carleton Place Canadians, Gloucester Rangers, Bancroft Hawks, Kingston Voyageurs and the Ontario Hockey League’s Erie Otters.

“I bet I have the biggest suitcase you could find,” he joked.

The majority of his junior hockey career was played in the Central Junior Hockey League (CJHL), where he played 122 games. He scored 38 goals and had 40 assists for 78 points over that time with 43 penalty minutes.

The stumbling blocks Coyne has encountered have not deterred him from chasing after his dream. He intends to try out for University of Ottawa’s team this fall, when he goes back to school to pursue a degree in marketing.

Coyne plans to play for the Ottawa West Golden Knights in the EOJHL if tryouts with the university do not go as planned.

“I had a lot of negative experiences with reaching some of

my goals, but I still know I have the ability to play professional hockey and love the sport enough to pursue it,” he said. “I’ve been training really hard this summer and I think I’ll have a legitimate crack at making the team.”

Coyne decided to return to school to increase his career options, in case his hockey career does not turn out the way he hopes it will.

“I realize that in hockey all it takes is one bad shift and it can all be gone pretty quick,” he said.

For the remainder of the summer, Coyne plans to continue training before tryouts start, while working at his family’s business, Coyne’s Maintenance, an asphalt repair company. He said that he is extremely excited to get back to playing hockey in the fall.

“The junior career was a bit of a mess but I’m healthy and strong now and I’m ready for a fresh start,” he said.

Despite the injuries, Coyne remained positive and said that his junior career has taught him valuable life lessons.

“If you really want something you can’t lose faith that easily,” he said. “You have to keep battling for the things that are important to you. Don’t put all your Samuel Coyne is training to hit the ice and the books this fall. The eggs in one basket, but don’t give 21-year-old is heading to the University of Ottawa to pursue a degree up on the things that you love, in marketing and a starting spot on the school’s hockey team.

The Heart and Stroke Foundation is looking for people to run, swim and bike their way to healthier hearts. The foundation has organized the Sand Lake Tri, its first fundraising triathlon, to take place at Lions Club Beach in Westport on Aug. 28.

“It’s a great first-year event that we can build on,” said Jennifer McAndrew, community engagement co-ordinator for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. “I think it’s a great opportunity for people to see Westport.”

McAndrew said that the event is a good way for people to get some exercise leading up to the event. She hopes to be ready to run a full triathlon by next year.

“I don’t think I’ll be ready this year, but I will be there supporting the event,” she said.

event’s organizers, said that she wanted to create an event that was unique to Westport and the surrounding area. The race will involve swimming 750 metres in Sand Lake, biking 20 kilometres to Canoe Lake, then finishes with a seven-km run through the countryside.

For those who would like to participate, but are intimidated by the size of the triathlon, the race can be run by a group of people instead of one, assigning each section of the race to a different participant.

“People can register as individuals or as a relay team,” Ditchfield said. “That way, it’s a slow way to introduce the sport to people.”

She said that the goal for the race is to raise $15,000 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Registration will begin at 11 a.m., with the race starting at 2 p.m.

One sad soul was Greg Howard. He scored an eagle on the fourth hole and it didn’t count at the end of the night. Too bad, so sad.

Hole-in-one prizes from A&B Ford and Canadian Tire are still available for any golfer who can score a hole-in-one on the designated holes. Tom Burns donates a $100 gift certificate each week for the golfer closest to the pin on the eighth hole and the Perth Blue Wings donate game tickets for the shot closest to the pin on Hole 11. Giant Tiger in Perth has donated Callaway golf balls for prizes for the low score and longest drive prizes, and each week a different business sponsors draw prizes for participating golfers.

The Putt Fore a Purpose golf tournament will take place on Aug. 21 at the Timber Run Golf Course in Lanark Highlands.

The majority of the proceeds will go towards eastern Ontario’s Camp Quality, a non-profit summer camp for children with cancer.

A small portion of the proceeds will also go to the Lanark Highlands Fire Service.

The camp was started by Glenn Mooney, a business development worker for Energy Ottawa, and his wife, Pam, a director for the Royal Ottawa Hospital. It is run entirely by volunteers and receives no government funding.

Children who have cancer can attend the camp for a week at a time.

Mooney said that the camp focuses on letting the kids have fun, and does not dwell on the

disease.

Mooney said that the children are also set up with a companion over 18 years of age, who fulfils a role similar to a big brother/sister.

“Every camper has someone with them 24/7,” he said. “They maintain a relationship with the kid all through the year.”

The registration fee for the event is $75, which includes 18 holes of golf, golf cart rental, dinner and the opportunity to bid in a live auction. The auction items will include: a fall cleaning courtesy of the Lanark County firefighters, a 2010 Tomo scooter, an autographed Jason Spezza jersey and Ottawa Senators tickets.

Registration begins at 10 a.m., with the tournament starting at 11 a.m. using a best-ball format.

ENTERTAINMENT

Bless them volunteers for all they do Twenty years of volunteer shirts hung from the rafters, gently blowing in the breeze, sparkling white linen tablecloths adorned the many tables. Patrons were entertained by strolling musicians. Held in the Crystal Palace, Waterfall Catering put on a majestic feast that satisfied everyone’s palate, all in an atmosphere so visually appealing, situated by the Tay Basin’s fountains and shore.

The artistic director, Carolyn Sutherland, provided a great mix of past and new performers that pleased the multitudes. It’s always so nice backstage as there are no egos – just a great bunch of musicians eager to share their

every year. With pennies so tight, it’s sometimes hard for us festival committee “lifers” to entertain new ideas that would heighten the festive mood in celebrating our 20th.

Enter John. When he first suggested the Sunday brunch, all we saw was more work and expenditure of funds, but by the next meeting, John came back with a plan that worked and was one of this year’s highlights.

I’m going to miss swimming under the weeping willows at Stewart Park, canoeing down the river, singing to myself as I traipse along wildflower-covered paths and the incredibly starry skies that have dazzled me every night. People who floored me with their generosity of spirit, storytellers who inspired me with their incredibly precise artistry, a landscape that boasted a postcard view every 10 steps and a feeling that I’ve recovered a part of my humanity I somehow lost in the concrete jungle.

Perth, you’re really something.

If I had a special pin to give to a town, you’d get it. Keep it in your pocket as a reminder. I know I will.

Dear Perth: I kind of don’t want to write this letter. What is that quote, that wretched quote, about all good things coming to an end? If that quote was an ant, boy, would I give it a good dose of Raid.

Perth, we have been living in your beautiful town for over a month now. We came from places all over Canada to act in the Classic Theatre Festival’s Blithe Spirit this summer. Sure, we’ve seen and met a lot of towns in our careers. But there’s something about this one. Like the fact that people say hello when you walk down the street.

I’m a Cape Bretoner who has called Toronto home for five years now. But something dies a little inside when I have to force myself not to acknowledge another human being as I stroll down Big Smoke streets. Here in Perth, not only will people say “hello,” but they’ll haul you over to have a glass of wine and offer you their bike if you need it!

Perth, I found my Cape Breton spirit again in the generosity of your people. It’s going to be really hard to go back to a place where you have to shut off that part of your being after the show ends on Aug. 1.

Because what I’ve re-learned by living here, Perth, is that the little things are the big ones.

The fact that at O’Reilly’s when my soda’s ice starts to melt, the waitress notices it and replaces it for free because she “hates it like that” herself. The moment when we all pile into the Red Fox after the show and Kathy greets us with a roll of her eyes and a grin, already lining up the drinks she knows we like.

And the billeters who have hosted us actors – do you know how lucky we’ve been? They have baked for us, driven us places, reminded us to take umbrellas when it’s raining, thrown us dinner parties, inspired us and cared about us.

My billeter gave me a special pin on the opening night of our play. I put it immediately in the pocket of the costume I wore as the clumsy maid. Each night, before I went on stage, I would feel it in my pocket and know that even if tonight was the night no one laughed and the audience got up and left after they threw rotten vegetables at us, when I walked out the stage door that night, someone who thought I was somebody special enough to deserve that gift was waiting for me at home. And that, that makes all the difference.

If you’ve ever had a time in life that later on, when someone mentioned it, you sit back and say, “Ahhh,” with a little smile on your face, this was mine. I was blessed with an opportunity to work with storytellers who pushed me to raise my own standards daily – both the actors in my cast and our director, Laurel Smith. I have spent much of this month listening, learning and asking a million questions as I watched brilliant stage moments

caught up in the great vibe. Two guys took it upon themselves to improve crowd control while preserving the gardens near the stage. Ed Roberts and Peter Cochrane placed barricades at appropriate places and assisted artisans in repositioning their booths so the crowds wouldn’t trample the gardens running along the edge of the park. John McNeil and Paul Brady were others who seemed to always be ready to do what was needed, no matter the time of day.

ell, we pulled it off ! The 20th anniversary of the Stewart Park Festival is now in the history books as one of the most enjoyed, as measured by people’s positive comments.

Isn’t it amazing what a bunch of energetic, questionably sane volunteers can do here in our quaint shire? Bless the 100 or so volunteers who gave some of their precious personal time to do all those little jobs that go to make a successful event. They are what make it all work.

There is a small core group who meet year round to plan and organize. John McKenty chaired this year’s event, which is never easy. Anyone who has ever been to one of our meetings will know how hard it is for us to stay on task, but somehow, through John’s leadership and vision, we got it done.

When trying to host a free, three-day festival, economics are extremely crucial. Every year we provide a quality lineup of musicians and artisans, in spite of necessary costs like sound and light, tent rentals and musician expenses going up

friend asked if he had attended the race. The visitor turned and said, “No. Let me tell you what my family and I did this weekend (instead). We came across the Stewart Park Festival on Friday and were blown away by the community spirit so much we stayed for the whole weekend and we’ll be back next year.”

Doesn’t that just sum it up?

To those locals who are not music lovers, I apologize for all the crowds and the difficulty getting around while the festival is on, but I hope you realize what a positive image Perth offers via the yearly Stewart Park Festival. I know many people who have moved to our community because of the good feelings they got when attending and many outof-towners come back throughout the year to revisit our amazing

Al Sproule. This seemed fitting, as both lads had gone to high school with Wendy in their “yeut.”

What people don’t see are those behind the scenes who make it all possible. By chairing the sponsorship committee to raise funds, Diana Bracegirdle and her illustrious crew were magnificent at scraping together what we needed. Tracie Goodberry works all year to masterfully co-ordinate the artisans and food area, while Sheri Halpenny and John and Barb St. Arnaud are our volunteer co-ordinators, a task that is so necessary.

Heather Hansgen, our producer and BIA co-ordinator, is another who weaves throughout to keep us crazies focused. Joanne Hughes is the backstage queen, welcoming backstage attendees and securing food and drinks for volunteers, while Sue Tennant and her crew provide the food spread for the musicians every night.

Jamey Cameron cut his teeth this year as stage manager and was another who never said “stop.” He and his far-better half, Dorothy, were seen with Carolyn Sutherland in the wee hours of Sunday morning, moving gear from one venue to another to be ready for the next day.

The After Hour shows were a success again due to the hard work all year of Paul Brady.

Tara MacDonald brings great creativity to our well-attended kids’ area, much to everyone’s delight. Carol Onion of Hillside Gardens and her gang arrive every year to beautify the stage setting just because she cares.

And if you ask them why they give so much of themselves, they will tell you it’s because of the live music and the great satisfaction they get watching the audience enjoy themselves.

So, bless all you volunteers.

One of my friends was in a bank machine line up on Monday morning following the festival.

The gentleman ahead of him was wearing a car-racing hat, so my

town, supporting the local economy.

I just have to mention our festival or town name to musicians everywhere and they drool at the possibility of playing at such a well-respected event. So Perthites, be proud! Thank everyone who helps make this event happen.

If you have any ideas or want to help, contact one of the organizers and we’ll get you connected.

August 19, 2010 - THE PERTH COURIER - PAGE 15

Lions fundraisers sailing smoothly this summer Midway through the summer, members of the Westport Lions Club are busy with a number of annual fundraiser events and making sure the mobility van is available and answering calls for those needing its services.

Lion Bob Weir, who is in charge during the absence of the regular convener, Lion John Rempel, has a roster of volunteer drivers from the club who help out.

The $10,000 draw, which has been a popular event each year, was held at the Legion hall on July 24 and the last two tickets are usually split between two individuals. This year, due to the inability to contact the one ticket holder, the lucky winner was Shelly Hubert, a local woman employed at the Westport

Esso. Over the years the draw was held for a brand new car and, on occasion, a new boat, motor and trailer. A total of 250 tickets were sold, making this year’s venture very successful.

The weekly bingos started out a little slowly in early July, perhaps partially due to the hot, humid weather, but with a little more desirable weather, interest has picked up and there has been excellent attendance. This is also a major fundraiser for the club and volunteers from the club man the various postings to keep everything running smoothly. The support of area residents and visitors is appreciated by the Lions club, as it enables them to continue and expand their service to the community.

Convener Jim McGlade has the annual Lions $10,000 cash calendars

out for sale and they are available at Murphy’s Sport Shop or from Lions members. As usual, they have excellent photos of familiar faces and scenes in this area from both past and present, and are real reminders of the history and beauty that abounds here.

The Lions Beach is an ideal setting for a family picnic, where the children can play and swim.

It has been a busy spot this summer, with local residents and visitors taking advantage of such excellent facilities that are open to all.

The beautiful setting right on the shore of Sand Lake is a gem to be proud of, and the Lions club keeps it in excellent and safe condition for everyone to enjoy.

The beach will be the home to a Heart and Stroke Triathlon on Aug. 28.

August 19, 2010 - THE PERTH COURIER - PAGE 19

Under country skies A while ago, there was a news item saying that western, central and northern Canada would see a spectacular view of Aurora Borealis. Here in eastern Canada, we get the occasional glimpse of those northern lights – flashes and spires of icy reflections from a far-away northland. The modern trend would likely be to compare this phenomenon with some distant Star Wars encounter, but to us country folk these streaks of mirrored light are exciting observations.

Several years ago, while making one of the nightly barn trips to check on an expectant ewe, this marvel of the heavens illuminated our rural scene. The sky seemed overcast with little character when I set forth that winter night, but it had certainly changed by the time I returned.

Across the vale on the northern skyline was an outpouring of silvered brilliance, resembling points of shattered glass. It flickered and changed, forming pyramids and crystal wedges before fading into infusions of radiance of different hues and shapes. Confronted with such a resplendent display, it was not too difficult to fashion Arctic scenes and objects in this celestial mural.

On other occasions, the Aurora Borealis could be likened to bolts of shot-silk fabric, unwound and billowing in the wind, releasing multicoloured spectrums as they

Art

BRIGGS-JUDE Outdoors rose and fell.

The visible expanse of celestial sphere above our homestead is not confined to the appearance of the northern lights. Because there are no distractions from any other nearby light source, the whole heavens sparkle on a clear night with constellations, galaxies, stars and planets.

Every August, the Perseid Meteor Showers occur, filling the northeastern sky with streaks of light. The comet Swift-Tuttle is responsible for the Perseids. This comet takes 133 years to orbit the sun, creating a long, narrow oval.

All comets eject mass as they travel over the centuries and a cloud of particles is created along

the entire orbit. The Swift-Tuttle is far away from us now, but every year our earth passes through this cloud of debris. The debris, the size of a speck of dust or grain of sand, enters the earth’s atmosphere and is burnt up by friction. When this happens, we see shooting stars.

In the country, not all the spectacular sky views are confined to hours of darkness.

Patches of coloured light appear against the western horizon, some distance from each side of the afternoon sun. Like short pillars of summer rainbows, these “sundogs” are produced by ice crystals high in the atmosphere. The old schooner skippers believed sundogs were omens of an approaching storm.

Modern science has shown that the minute ice crystals responsible for the sundogs’ appearance form part of the advancing cloud system associated with coming bad weather. While not infallible indicators of impending storms, we believe sundogs have a high incidence of accuracy.

Across the country road, the sun languishes behind a rise of treelined rocks to finally disappear.

And like those ancient mariners, we, too, cast a thoughtful eye in its direction.
