IN BRIEF Montague woman killed in LH crash A Montague woman was killed in a single-vehicle crash in Tay Valley Township last Tuesday afternoon. Shirley McLeod, 78, was taken to Perth hospital before being airlifted to the Ottawa Civic Hospital, where she was pronounced dead. The crash occurred at around 4 p.m. on Aug. 31 on Fallbrook Road, about three kilometres south of Fallbrook village. OPP said the car McLeod was driving was travelling north on Fallbrook Road when it went into the shoulder on the right side of the road before losing control and veering across the road into the opposite ditch. McLeod was the only occupant in the car. Road conditions were wet at the time, OPP said. The cause of the crash is still being investigated. Fire crews from Drummond/ North Elmsley-Tay Valley Fire Rescue extricated McLeod from the car.

Applause greets passage of anti-idling bylaw BY LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@perthcourier.com A chorus of cheers broke out in a packed council chambers last Tuesday as Perth council passed an anti-idling bylaw. Councillors debated the challenges of enforcing the bylaw before they gave it the final stamp of approval on Aug. 31. Coun. Judy Brown said residents who sent emails to the town were “overwhelmingly” in

support of the bylaw. Those who were opposed to it were generally confused about the parameters of the bylaw, she said. “It doesn’t cover school buses, vehicles in drive-throughs or extreme temperature situations,” she said. Brown said she still had concerns about how the bylaw would be enforced, but she supported it with her vote. Coun. Eric Devlin re-iterated that he felt the bylaw would turn

neighbours against neighbours by encouraging people to report infractions they observe. He said he supported the idea behind the bylaw, but wasn’t sure about spending taxpayers’ dollars to enforce it. Coun. John Gemmell said enforcement of the bylaw will hinge on common sense, and bylaw officers will enforce the bylaw in areas that they are able to target – parking lots and streets.

Youths charged in rash of break-ins OPP laid charges in relation to a series of break-ins at Tichborne homes this summer. Police investigated 11 incidents in which seasonal and year-round homes in the Eagle Lake area were broken into. Small items such as CDs, alcohol and cash were stolen, OPP said. Two male youths, who cannot be indentified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, were charged with a total of 12 counts of break and enter, 12 counts of theft and a count of mischief.

Coun. Ed McPherson countered Gemmell’s opinion, saying that he didn’t support the bylaw as it is written because it enables officers to enforce it on private property. Jim Connell, the town’s director of protective services, had previously told councillors that bylaw enforcement officers would use common sense and their own discretion when determining who to fine for idling. For instance, the bylaw states that drivers are exempt if they are idling their vehicles in extreme temperatures (hot or cold weather) but “extreme temperatures” are not defined, McPherson pointed out. “You can’t say you won’t enforce it – it’s in the bylaw,” McPherson said. “It’s open to interpretation.” “Common sense for some is not the same for others,” Devlin added. “It should be rewritten so it’s clearer.” McPherson proposed removing the fine and instead focusing on a two- or three-year education campaign. “Let’s challenge them to turn their cars off, not threaten them,” McPherson said. While councillors Brown and Bill White spoke in favour of McPherson’s idea, the majority of council did not support it. “People typically do not change their behaviour unless there is an incentive,” said Coun. Beth Peterkin, speaking in support of a fine for the bylaw. Mayor John Fenik agreed. “I spoke in (committee of the whole) about how this bylaw should have teeth,” Fenik said. “A bylaw without a fine is just empty, empty space.” See ‘Applause greets’, Pg. A3

The Salvation Army Thrift Store is expanding its merchandise and getting back to its Christian roots. The charity thrift store is renovating and changing its format to be able to offer more merchandise. “We’re expanding the store to meet expanding needs,” said Maggie Swanson, the new manager of the store. She has managed the Smiths Falls Salvation Army store for six years. Those needs include increased demand for the social programs the Salvation Army offers out of its Family Centre on North Street. But the store on Foster Street also serves as the front line for the church, Swanson said. “The thrift stores are here as ministry units, also,” Swanson said. “We’re the front line. We’re a referral service also.” She said she hopes to re-affirm the store’s place as a Christian Changes irk volunteers organization. A group of about a dozen Rev. Shirley Bradley said the volunteers who worked at the church had been looking for a store left as a result of the larger space that could house both the Family Centre and the See ‘Salvation Army’, Pg.

store, but renovating the existing store is the next best thing. The store will be closed from Sept. 20 to 25 and a grand reopening will be held on Monday, Sept. 27 at 10 a.m. to unveil the improved store. Swanson has dubbed the project: Extreme Makeover – Thrift Store Edition. There will be prizes, music, refreshments and hourly specials during the grand re-opening. The renovated store will be more accessible to people with mobility concerns. Another new feature of the store will be debit and Visa payment options, and Swanson is looking at starting regular auctions. To prepare for the re-opening, the store will be having a countdown sale from Sept. 13 to 18. Swanson pointed out that the store hasn’t changed its prices since 2009 and still offers good deals to families on a budget. The store has been located in Perth for about 10 years.

County embarking on official plan BY LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@perthcourier.com Lanark County council will be asking municipalities to help guide a vision for “Local Priorities for a Sustainable County.” That is the theme of the county-wide official plan that is getting underway, and planning consultants from Stantec will be making presentations to each Lanark County municipal council to get feedback on ideas and directions for the plan. “We need to hear from decision makers about what the local priorities are, and the initial reaction,” said Pierre Mercier, a Stantec planning consultant who is working on the plan. An official plan is a land use-policy that directs long-term growth and development through a series of regulations. It will cover similar issues that lower-tier municipal official plans cover, but with a county-wide focus, such as environmental protection, transportation, water and wastewater. County councillors were divided on how the official plan should be presented. Some, like Lanark Highlands Mayor Bob Fletcher, said consultants should high-

light that creating an official plan was required in order to access $2 million worth of gas-tax money. “That’s why we are doing this. We here at the county have to take care of our county budget,” Fletcher said. Beckwith Reeve Richard Kidd agreed, saying the the public has to be made aware of the financial implications of why an official plan is necessary. “They are going to see it as adding another layer – a regional government,” Kidd said. If the county chose not to create an official plan, it would lose the $2 million in provincial gas tax grants, which equates to an eight per cent increase on the county portion of residents’ tax bills. The “road show” will begin Tuesday, Sept. 7 with presentations at municipal council and committee meetings in Lanark Highlands at 2:30 p.m., Perth at 5 p.m. and Montague at 7 p.m. Presentations will continue on Tuesday, Sept. 21 in Drummond/North Elmsley at 3 p.m., Tay Valley at 7 p.m. and Carleton Place at 8 p.m. There will also be three public open house sessions scheduled in the fall, to ask for feedback and demographic information from county residents.

changes, as described in letters to the editor published in the Courier in the past few weeks. “Change is never easy. None of them wanted to see changes happen,” Bradley said. “There was no reason for them to leave … they’ve never been not welcome. “It’s sad, but there are bigger issues to deal with,” Bradley added. One reason some former volunteers may have been upset was because of the renewed Christian focus of the store. “Maggie prayed. There are lots of places to volunteer that aren’t Christian,” Bradley said. “The store is coming back into the mission; really, that should be the mission.” Doris Popplewell, the former manager of the Salvation Army store, declined to comment on the situation, saying that everything the former volunteers wanted to say was expressed in a card of thanks printed in the Courier on Aug. 19.

Bird takes the stage as community services officer

katie.mulligan@metroland.com

BY LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@perthcourier.com Const. David Bird is planning to bring the same vitality he displays on local theatrical stages to his new role as community services officer. Thee OPP constable and former Perth police officer was recently appointed to the outreach role, which includes school visits and presentations, as well as communicating with the media. “I’ve always been interested in that,” Bird said. “I feel like I have a connection to the community anyways.” He said that the community service officer role is not vastly different from his regular works as a police officer. “We are already a part of the community,” he said. “This role is about improving relationships.” One of his goals is to show people what police do, beyond the stereotypes presented on TV. He said he also hopes to open “frank lines of communication” with community groups. “It gives people a connection with the police that isn’t a negative situation,” Bird said. “We generally deal with people in stressful situations – we turn up when something is bad,” Bird said. “The CSO turns up when it’s good. I want to extend that.” Bird started his policing career in London, England when he was 21 years old. His career has spanned all types of police work, from public order and riot policing to walking the community beat as a member of the local Perth Police Service for 11 years. Bird came to Perth because his wife, Marilyn Bird, grew up in the area. After they met on the job in London, the couple decided to settle in Canada and fell in love with the Perth area. They settled down here in 1989. He has been acting with local theatre companies – mainly BarnDoor Productions – since 1994. For the past eight years he has performed his popular oneman Christmas Carol in Sharbot Lake, where he was stationed when he first joined the OPP. He is also an active member of St. Paul’s United Church.

CANADA POST RE-OPENS Employee Megan Spaidal mans the newly re-opened Canada Post Outlet inside the Perth Downtown Pharmasave (57 Foster St.). The outlet opened Sept. 1, after public outcry prompted local officials, including the mayor, MP and MPP, to lobby Canada Post to relax space requirements. The postal outlet had closed at the end of June because the Pharmasave owners declined to pay the $80,000 required to upgrade the location to meet Canada Post standards. Laura Mueller photo

E-voting info sessions BY PERTH COURIER STAFF Curious about electronic voting? Municipal elections are coming up on Oct. 25, and Lanark County is holding information sessions to inform voters about how to use electronic voting software. Two sessions will be held at the county administration building (99 Christie Lake Rd.). The first session on Wednesday, Sept. 8 will run from noon until 3 p.m. On Sept. 9, learn more about e-voting from 6 to 9 p.m. Electors in the Town of Perth and Tay Valley Township will be voting electronically, by Internet or telephone. There will be no

paper ballot. A voter information letter will be mailed to residents October to provide voters with a Personal Identification Number (PIN) which will allow you to vote 24 hours a day for seven days (from Oct. 18 to 25), from any telephone or any device connected to the Internet. If access to a telephone or internet connection is unavailable to you, a voter help centre will be established at the municipal office with telephone and internet access from Monday, Oct. 18 to Friday, Oct. 22 during regular business hours and on Monday, Oct. 25 from the start of business until 8 p.m.

Residents already in the process of setting up small-scale ground-mounted solar panels will get the original rate of 80.2 cents per kilowatt-hour they were promised, while new applicants will see a decrease in potential returns. On Aug. 13, the Ontario Power Authority announced a new finalized price for the microFIT ground-mounted solar price category. The new rate has been set at 64.2 cents per kilowatt hour, up from the 58.8 cents initially proposed. “I am glad to see (the Liberal government) finally pulled their horn back in,” said LanarkFrontenac-Lennox and Addington MPP Randy Hillier. “The people who have spent all of that money and time installing these systems are back to where they should be.” In July, local government representatives said they were surprised to learn the program dropped its pricing category from 80.2 cents per kilowatt-hour to 58.8 cents. Anyone who had plans for installation or were in the process and did not have a finalized contract would have received the lower rate. The new category is effective immediately for eligible projects with applications submitted any time after noon on July 2 of this year, when the new price category was initially announced. Any ground-mounted projects submitted prior to that time will have the 80.2 cents per kilowatthour price honoured, regardless of receiving a new contract or conditional offer. The projects must be installed and have a connection requested by May 31, 2011. Hillier, who has not been an advocate of the green energy policy from the beginning, said

This year marks the Year of Biodiversity and a time to learn about and reflect on the wealth of biodiversity we have in our area. Over the spring and summer a number of bioblitzes have taken place, which are setting a benchmark on biodiversity in the area in which they were done. To learn more about the biodiversity in our natural neighbourhood join the Rideau Valley Field Naturalists on Sunday, Sept. 12, when biologist Mike Yee will present a talk on the variety of flora and fauna, critters that swim, crawl, fly, float and wiggle around our natural environment.

many people were attracted to the program because of the rates. “We still don’t know how we’re going to pay for this,” he said. “He’s lowered the price for these new applicants, but still, now it’s only 10 times over the market rate.” While Hillier indicated he feels this will be a problem going forward, he is pleased to see the provincial government doing the right thing. “Those 10,000 people who were put in untold turmoil in their expenses and costs can sleep a little easier this week,” he said. “We still have about 1,000 people around the province who have been screwed on doing new barns (as the higher pricing only applies to ground-mounted systems).” According to the Ontario Power Authority, more than 19,000 applications have been received since the launch of the program last fall. Small-scale solar energy systems, such as the microFIT program, have been promoted in Lanark County recently following proposals for a solar farm in Beckwith Township, on Highway 15 near Franktown. While municipal representatives and residents say they are not against solar energy, most were against the idea of clearcutting 100 acres to make way for the new solar farm. A Lanark County bylaw threw a wrench into the potential plans, as there is a tree-cutting bylaw which restricts clearing trees anywhere within the county. Other proposed solar farms in Mississippi Mills and Tay Valley Township are running into the same tree-cutting bylaw issue. Deputy Reeve Sharon Mousseau and Coun. Brian Dowdall both made it clear at the Beckwith site public meeting that, while they, along with the rest of the residents in Beckwith, are all for green energy and initiatives, it just doesn’t make sense to eliminate one natural resource to make way for another.

He has been the announcer and scorekeeper for the Perth Jr. B Blue Wings for 12 years. He said that if elected, he would bring dedication and enthusiasm to the job, talk openly with residents about their views on issues and speak his mind at council meetings. Boldt grew up in Renfrew

laura.mueller@perthcourier.com Jim Boldt got a taste of election fever when he ran for the vacant seat on Perth town council last winter, and now he’s back to try again. Boldt is the only candidate of the nine who ran to fill last year’s council vacancy who has filed his nomination for the Oct. 25 municipal election. It is Boldt’s first foray into politics and the election process, but he says it is something he has always been passionate about. “I have an active interest in how the town is run,” Boldt said. He has also had a lifelong interest in politics, signing on as a member of the Progressive Conservative Party when he was 15 and working with the party for years. “I’ve been fascinated by politics my whole life,” he said. “This is the best way to make change.” While he says the current town council has done a “fairly effective job,” Boldt said he would like to see great effort put into economic development. In particular, he would like to see the council focus on encouraging small industrial operations to come to town. Several smaller businesses that each employ 10 to 50 employees would have less of an impact if one or two went out of business, compared to largescale operations like Hershey in Smiths Falls going under. Development north of Highway 7 should be approached in a way that is sustainable for the downtown area, without

is running unopposed for the mayor’s seat, as is John Gemmell for the deputy mayor’s chair. All current councillors, with the exception of Bill White (the longest-serving member of Perth council, with 25 years of experience) have filed their nominations. Those members of council are: Judy Brown, Eric Devlin and Ed McPherson. The only other new face to come Perth nominations forward in the election besides The municipal election will Boldt is Kelly Lowry. Nominations close this Friday, take place on Oct. 25. So far, incumbent Mayor John Fenik Sept. 10.

JIM BOLDT missing out on development opportunities. “We’ve got to move forward,” he said. “If it doesn’t happen here, it will happen down the road.” Bringing more industrial and commercial tax base into town would help with another one of Boldt’s “pet peeves” – the town’s high tax rate. It’s an issue that led him to move to DNE for several years as a silent protest against his taxes going up steeply in Perth. “If we want to continue to attract people to town, we need to hold the reins on tax increases,” he said. With years of experience with several organizations, Bold says he understands the municipal process and would have a lot to offer around the council

SMOOTH SAILING After months of construction and bumpy gravel surfaces, the full downtown section of Wilson Street from Foster to Isabella streets received a smooth new layer of asphalt last week. Crews were out in 32 C heat laying down the pavement, and sidewalks are mostly completed on the east side of Wilson from Isabella to North Street. In the next two weeks, road base construction will also begin for the west lane of Wilson between North Street and Sunset Boulevard, and for the north section of Wilson between Highway 7 and Sunset Boulevard. Construction is set to be completed by November. Laura Mueller photo

EDITORIAL OUR OPINION

Hop on board with school-bus safety

encils? Check. Books? Check. Indoor running shoes with non-marking soles? Check. The kids are ready for the back to school season and are getting settled back into the daily routine. The question is, are we ready to be dealing with school buses again? After more than two months of bus-free roads, it doesn’t hurt to take a moment to think about school year safety. Lanark County OPP is reminding motorists to take their time and be careful to help keep the students in our community safe. The Ministry of Transportation has some tips for bus riders to help keep each trip to and from school safe and stress-free. Always be at the bus stop on time so you don’t have to run to the bus. While waiting for the bus, stay in the designated area, far back from the road. When crossing the street to get on the bus, wait until the bus and all nearby traffic comes to a complete stop and the stop arm on the bus is extended with lights flashing. If you are ever unsure about safety, wait for the bus driver to signal to you. Hold the handrail when getting on the bus. Most importantly, be aware of the “danger zone.” This is the area around the bus where the driver cannot see you. If you’re close enough to touch the bus, chances are good you are out of sight. Never push or shove while getting on or off the bus. Once on the bus, be respectful and avoid being loud to help the driver concentrate, and stay in your seat. OPP are reminding motorists that when they meet up with a school bus stopped with its overhead red signal lights flashing on any road, other than a highway with a median, they must stop before reaching the bus. Do not proceed until the bus moves, or the red signal lights have stopped flashing. Those who do not comply put the safety of the children at risk, as well as their wallets, as those caught can face up to $400 in fines. General speeding fines are often increased in designated community safety zones. Community safety zones are defined as areas with signs near schools, daycares or other marked areas. “Many of our children walk to school and motorists should beware of the increased pedestrian traffic around our local schools,” said Lanark County OPP in a recent press release. “Reduced speeds in some school zones will again be in affect, so beware, we’ll be watching.” Dear Editor: OPP officers will be out patrolling to ensure motorists are followBravo to Laurel Smith and ing the rules of the road.

trippers, but they also generated publicity and created excitement. They promoted our town and their festival throughout Ontario and well down into the United States. Play-goers came, stayed, ate, bought, and appreciated. They’ll tell their friends and family – and likely will come back next year. Not only did Laurel and Matthew make money for themselves and the town and create work for professional actors, they allowed several

Pretty, positive Perth deserves a pat on the back Dear Editor: Wednesday to Friday (Aug. 25 to 27) saw a gathering of the proto-clan Doig here in Perth – the first such gathering to take place outside of Scotland.

There were enthusiastic comments about the bed and breakfasts, which, I gather, went well out of their way to make their guests

Not only did they smile at us, they greeted us with a warm ‘Hello!’”). The shops and shopkeepers got great reviews for the same reasons, and, of course, as one Canadian attendee just emailed me, “Perth really is the prettiest town in Ontario!” My pride in being a Perthite is

no secret, but I just wanted to pause and give us all a collective pat on the back for doing us all proud.

Shiny happy pathetic fallacy O

ne of my favourite literary devices – and come on, I know you all have one – is pathetic fallacy. This is when inanimate objects, such as weather, are endowed with human emotions. It’s often used as a tool to foreshadow a foreboding event or to punctuate a murder with a thunderclap, for example. Pathetic fallacy played a role in the first night of our recent vacation at a cottage. (I know I keep dwelling on this, but can you blame me? It was a vacation!) We arrived after a long day of packing and lugging. We set up the beds, stowed the provisions and checked out the scenery. It took a long time for the kids to get to sleep, partly because of the newness of it all, but also because they were sleeping together in a double bed which, as you can imagine, led to much giggling and whispering and the occasional poke and kick. It took the grown-ups a long while to get to sleep, too, being the first night in a new place. I was hoping that wouldn’t be the case because I was reeeallly tired. Eventually, though, everyone slumbered – until about 4 a.m. – when the first of about a half million thunderstorms started to roll through. (I also like hyperbole, you might have noticed.) I awoke to pounding rain. Then Boychild came to. Then lightning flashed. Thunder rolled. Then Girlchild joined in and the kids started chit chatting again. The walls are thin. There was scolding and shushing. Then Boychild said, “I see a bat in the cottage.”

to go? Is this some sort of karmic thing? Will I ever sleep again?” In the end we decided there wasn’t really anything we could do at 4:30 in the morning during a thunderstorm, so we went back to bed, secured the curtains over the doors to the bedrooms and told the kids we’d deal with it in the morning. You know, in a few minutes. Boychild called out, “Do bats bite?” “No!” I said immediately. I was groggy and wanted it all to go away. Flash! Boom! Then I hear Boychild whisper to Girlchild, “Well, if the bat Past Deadline comes in here, we’ll pick it up and take it out....” We paused. I was too tired to Inner groan. Flash! Boom! move.

REAL supports anti-idling bylaw Dear Editor: An open letter to Mayor Fenik and town council: The Rideau Environmental Action League (REAL) wishes to encourage you to pass the anti-idling bylaw and to set an example for the other municipalities in Lanark, Leeds and Grenville counties. REAL is 21 years old. We have experience in delivering numerous environmental programs in the region. For three years, we conducted an education program about idling and encouraged drivers stopped at the lock crossings in Smiths Falls and Merrickville to turn their vehicles off when waiting for the locks to change. We made some progress – most people would turn their vehicles off when we approached and asked them to. And most learned in turning their vehicle off that it was not hard to do. As one of our participants, an editor of a local paper, noted the first time he turned his car off: “The sky did not fall in, the drivers behind me weren’t honking their horns at me, the quiet was lovely.” But, most do not continue with these good practices on their own. To achieve a genuine shift in habit, people need to know that society as a whole has said it

is the wrong thing to do. Municipalities must pass antiidling bylaws to get this firm message across. Often the reason given for not passing a bylaw is that it would be impossible to enforce. The bylaw before you addresses this concern in being innovative and easy to enforce by way of the low fine. Idling is simply one of the most unnecessarily wasteful and damaging things we do – to the climate, to our air, to our selves,

to our vehicles and to our pocketbooks. Please, do the right thing: Cut CO2 emissions, save Perth half a million dollars per year, set an example for the region – and create some calm. Barb Hicks, President, On behalf of the Rideau Environmental Action League board of directors Editor’s note: This letter was recieved before Perth council voted to pass the bylaw.

Eco-friendly Perth? Dear Editor: It’s nice to see a small town like Perth being able to blow its own horn on how “green” it is; However, they have created a situation that I think takes away from their “green-ness.” Up until this year, I and many of my neighbours have been taking our yard waste to the Perth dump. Over a period of time, this yard waste becomes valuable compost and Perth sells it to local residents. This year, since we live on the edge of the Perth town boundaries and are actually in

Drummond/North Elmsley, we are not allowed to take our yard waste to the Perth dump. This means we have to drive the 60some kilometres round trip to the Drummond/North Elmsley dump in order to get rid of our yard waste. In order to do that, we drive past the Perth dump and through the town of Perth, emitting fumes from our vehicles and adding to the traffic issues. So much for “eco Perth,” “think green,” “carbon footprint,” etc. Ron Brown, Chaloa Acres

don’t know if its old age that is making me a bit grumpy about the world we live in, or the wisdom that comes from living through several changing decades. Whatever it is, I am getting increasingly appalled at a number of things I see on a daily basis. As we all know, we are under continuous pressure to buy. I especially dislike the use of young children to sell all that back to school stuff. Heck, they just need writing materials, maybe math accessories and a dictionary to get them started; all of which, when I went to school, were provided in the classroom, with what seemed like the proper use of our taxes. We did pay a bit extra for a water-colour paint box, as I recall, if we had artistic leanings, but we kept everything in our desks. As we got older, some of the really serious kids had briefcases, but mostly satchels to carry homework to and fro. Now they need

backpacks. Which have to be in sensational colours, mostly pink. Or they can save their aching backs by having a laptop, of course. Which all needs heavy advertising campaigns. So there are all these under-tens, striking sexy poses with their hips tilted, being made use of by manufacturers who don’t exactly have the kids best interests at heart but want to make sure that they will feel terrible if they arrive at school without the absolutely latest gear. And the latest fashionable clothing, of course. It’s just as bad for we grownups. To keep eager merchants happy I get the idea that we should all be buying at least one new car a year. As dear husb and I turn the pages of our daily paper, its an ongoing joke to say “Oh look! Another page of car ads!” Then we switch on the television and yet another alluring lass is flipping her shiny hair at us, urging us to

And I couldn’t even think about my weekly grocery shopping without all those lovely flyers packed with special offers. In fact, nowadays, in my less-than-breathtaking social life, it’s one of the high spots I share with a couple of friends: “Hey look, they’ve got a really good deal here on tomato ketchup/dishwashing liquid or whatever.” So off we go, keen and enthusiastic, the week’s Settled In housekeeping money burning a hole in our pockets.

much doubt if I can persuade nearest and dearest to go for it, but I can pass many a happy hour or two picturing a sleek new chest-of drawers all along that bedroom wall. And maybe, if I push the sofa into a corner we might find room for another armchair. I’m getting quite excited just writing this down but come on now, Bet, simmer down. You’ll be tilting your hips, flipping your hair and wearing pink sandals of you keep this up. So let’s just take a deep breath and consider, sensibly, what we need to keep us going. Having just started to purge my closets, I know from experience that it’s easy to have far more than we can use. It makes me particularly ashamed and uneasy when I think about that other half of this world that has nothing. So a few donations to charity are in order, plus a sensible mindset: enjoying what we have, buying what we need and maybe doing without that new chest of drawers. At least for now.

Election race for Perth mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job

ne candidate has thrown his hat in the ring, and others are expected to follow, in a bid to succeed William Warren as mayor of Perth. Coun. William Armstrong said this week he will definitely be running for mayor in the Nov. 12 municipal election. He says he has been quietly running a campaign to gauge the feelings of the community. Others who have indicated they may take a stab at the mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat include Reeve Tony Noonan and Coun. Phil Aston, although neither man has committed him-

self. However, both men have stated they are considering running for the job. There will be a large number of vacancies for council seats, since a number of incumbent councillors have indicated they will not be running. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t given it any thought yet,â&#x20AC;? said Deputy Reeve Frank Mahon, who said he is thinking about not running for office. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As far as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m concerned itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a good council to work with; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a good bunch of fellows,â&#x20AC;? said Mahon, who suggested there might be an entirely new slate of council members after the election.

Coun. Gerry McInnis said this week he will not be seeking office this fall due to health problems. Coun. Chuck Montgomery says he is â&#x20AC;&#x153;unsureâ&#x20AC;? whether he will run in the upcoming election. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It depends on certain situations happening,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Perth Fair a big success

he 114th South Lanark Agricultural Society Fair at Perth last Thursday, Friday and Saturday was the most successful in the history of this organization, both financially and in the attendance. An estimated 12,000 spectators attended this annual event on the three days. The number of exhibitors was greatly increased, and cattle, horses, farm produce and other exhibits showed a marked upswing. Ideal weather favoured the event for the three days, and not a drop of rain fell until 11:30 on Saturday night, and this only continued for a few minutesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; duration.

Could the Perth Fair be anything less than a success? The president of the Perth and District Agricultural Society, Ron Cameron, thinks not, especially with attendance at the three-day fair reaching record numbers last weekend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People came from all over to see the fair. We had a couple from Orillia who heard about the fair from friends and they took their holidays so they could see the fair. One of the draws in the Lions Hall was won by a woman from Toronto ... it was a great fair!â&#x20AC;? enthused Cameron. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything was on the increase. We had 183 entries in the Beef Cattle Show on Saturday and the fair was expanded this year. There were displays that reached the cattle barns and expanded the other way to near the Lindsay Horse Barn. It was less congested and people had more room,â&#x20AC;? explained Cameron.

Ed Broadbent, Trevor Cole, Helen Humphreys and Roy MacSkimming will be in Westport for Writers Reading on Sunday, Sept. 19. The third-annual event will take place at the Westport United Church from 1 to 5:30 p.m. Ed Broadbent is a social democrat and political scientist. He is a former leader of the New Democratic Party of Canada. Following graduate studies at the London School of Economics, he obtained a PhD in political science from the University of Toronto in 1965, after which he joined York University’s political science department. He entered politics as an NDP Member of Parliament in 1968, and was elected leader of his party in 1975, a position he held until his retirement in 1989. He made a brief return to Parliament as MP for Ottawa Centre from 2004 to 2006. In 1990, Broadbent became the founding president of the International Center for Human Rights and Democratic Development (now Rights and Democracy). He was made an officer of the Order of Canada in 1993 and a companion in 2001. He has lectured at and been a fellow of many universities including, McGill, Harvard and Oxford, and is currently a Queen’s University Skelton-Clark fellow. Professor Broadbent is the author of The Threat to Democratic Citizenship, among other publications. He lives in Ottawa. Trevor Cole is the author of three novels: Norman Bray In the Performance of His Life, The Fearsome Particles, and his soon-to-be-released third novel, Practical Jean. Both Norman Bray (2004) and The Fearsome Particles (2006) were short-listed for the Governor General’s Award for Literature, and long-listed for the IMPAC Dublin Literary Award, a rare double achievement. Norman Bray was also short-listed for the Commonwealth Writer’s Prize for Best First Book (Canada and Caribbean), and, along with The Fearsome Particles, has been adapted for radio and optioned for film. In addition to his novels, Trevor is a veteran magazine journalist and editor. He worked for 12 years in senior editing positions with the Globe and Mail, following which he spent three years as a senior writer for Report on Business Magazine. He has received numerous awards for his journalism, including his features in Toronto Life, and his satirical columns in Canadian Business. Trevor lives and writes in Hamilton. Helen Humphreys is the acclaimed author of five novels, four books of poetry and one work of creative non-fiction. Her

first novel, Leaving Earth (1997), won the 1998 City of Toronto Book Award and was a New York Times Notable Book of the Year. Her second novel, Afterimage (2000), won the 2000 Rogers Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize, was nominated for the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize, and was a New York Times Notable Book of the Year. Her third novel, The Lost Garden (2002), was a 2003 Canada Reads selection, a national bestseller, and was also a New York Times Notable Book of the Year. Wild Dogs (2004) won the 2005 Lambda Prize for fiction, has been optioned for film, and was produced as a stage play at CanStage in Toronto in the fall of 2008. Coventry (2008) was a number-one national bestseller, was chosen as one of the top 100 books of the year by the Globe and Mail, and was chosen one of the top ten books of the year by both the Ottawa Citizen and NOW Magazine. Humphreys’s non-fiction work, The Frozen Thames (2007), was a number-one national bestseller. Her collections of poetry include Gods and Other Mortals (1986); Nuns Looking Anxious, Listening to Radios (1990); and, The Perils of Geography (1995). Her latest collection, Anthem (1999), won the 2000 Canadian Authors Association Award for Poetry. Her work has been published in many languages. Humphreys was born in Kingston-on-Thames, England, and now lives in Kingston. Roy MacSkimming is the author of four novels and three works of non-fiction. His latest novel, Laurier in Love, due for release on Sept. 18, follows hard on the heels of his notable success with his novel, Macdonald, in which he recounts the final days of Laurier’s great predecessor, Sir John A. Macdonald. The Globe and Mail described Macdonald as “an engaging novel handled with imagination, sympathy and verve, making a hugely enjoyable read.” MacSkimming’s non-fiction work The Perilous Trade was a National Business Book Award finalist and a Globe and Mail book of the year. He has written two other critically praised novels, Out of Love (1993) and Formentera (1972), both translated into French. MacSkimming has been a book publisher, book editor at the Toronto Star and policy director of the Association of Canadian Publishers. He lives in the country near Perth.

Mid-August Lunch will kick off a monthly series of international films shown in Smiths Falls to raise much-needed funds for public libraries in Perth and Smiths Falls. “It’s a variety of films from different countries that audiences otherwise wouldn’t have an opportunity to see,”said Faye Cunningham, FiNI’s director.

It is one of the classic plays of our time. Directed by Joan Sonnenburg, Harvey offers one of the most challenging roles in theatre, that of Elwood P. Dowd, a man who is charming, generous and outgoing. He has only one flaw. His best friend is a six-foot white rabbit that only he can see. This part was created so convincingly by Jimmy Stewart in the film version, that there is a temptation for performers to play Stewart, not Dowd. The director will be looking for an actor who can embody the charm and innocence that made Stewart’s performance so memorable. She is not looking for Stewart. The play offers a wide variety of delightful roles for actors and actresses of all ages: Veta Louise, Elwoods frantic sister; her daughter Myrtle Mae, who despairs of ever meeting the right people because her uncle insists

It is the enabling link between mankind and God, the part of a person that is dead at their physical birth and made alive when we are born from above by God the Holy Spirit (John 3:3). Without this miracle in our lives, there is no development of our spiritual life and no personal relationship with God through His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. When this miracle does take place, our life here on earth is profoundly affected for eternity. As a pastor I have often spoken with many young couples who may have had an early introduction to nurturing their spiritual person in a Sunday school or Christian camp setting, but have largely ignored further development because of the business of life. That is until they become parents and welcome their own children into their lives. Loving their child, they want to give them the benefit of spiritual training and begin to look for a church seeking to renew interest in their own spiritual development, as well as desiring the same for their children. If you have largely ignored your spiritual side of life, I encourage you to seek out of the fine Christian churches in Perth and area this fall season. Let the pastor know of your interest, and he or she will be thrilled to welcome you back to the pathway of spiritual discovery.

Could it really be happening already? While enjoying the delight of many weeks of sun-filled days, it seemed impossible that nature was beginning to send a message that fall was coming. Yes, the leaves are changing color. Wasn’t it just yesterday that we officially welcomed the summer season? I guess deep down I don’t want to admit it – I love summer and want to hang onto it. Oh, its not that I don’t enjoy the fall season. It is what follows that leaves me cold! If you missed seeing the changing of the leaves, it is impossible to ignore the messages we are bombarded with. Retailers remind us that school is just around the corner and we have everything your children need in the way of supplies and clothes. Just drop in. So many decisions will be made by parents and students attempting to sort out what is really needed and what is simply wanted. How I remember those days! There will also be decisions regarding extra activities your children will get involved with. Hockey, baseball, soccer, music and dance lessons along with a host of other opportunities will present themselves. It is important for kids to be involved with experiences that help develop them in all areas of life awareness. Churches are also gearing up for the fall season. Great programs are being developed and offered that will help meet the spiritual need of our lives. Unfortunately this is an area that is often ignored and, if considered, placed low on the scale of importance; the end result being that churches are dwarfed in the most important area of our lives. We are tripartite beings, composed of a body, a soul and a spirit. Each of these areas needs stimulation, development and growth. We stress proper nutrition and exercise to maintain a healthy

Mowing down the competition

BY ANDREW SNOOK

Mike McNamee has been preparing for an NHL career his whole life. The Perth resident has been on the ice since he was old enough to skate. His parents put him his first pair when he was 15 months old, his mother, Beth McNamee, said that he didn’t even wobble. Although McNamee is too young to remember those days, he said he probably fell in love with the sport since the day he started. The 17-year-old was born and raised in Perth and has played for a variety of teams across the Ottawa region growing up, including teams in Kanata and Ottawa. McNamee said that playing hockey has always been a vital part of his life. “It (The hockey rink) is a place for me to let go,” he said. “I go on the ice and nothing else matters. Hockey is sort of the thing that keeps me going.” At 15 years of age, he began playing for the Central Junior A Hockey League’s (CHL) Smiths Falls Bears. This year will be his third year in a Bears uniform. “(Playing for the Bears) has been more than anyone can ask for,” McNamee said. “Billy (Bill Bowker) is by far the best coach I’ve had. I just hope I can help the team move forward and do the best I can.” The Bears struggled in the 200910 season posting a record of 1840-0-4 and missing the playoffs. McNamee said it was a tough year for the team, but his favourite hockey-related memory occurred while playing for Smiths Falls last season. “Last year things were getting rough, but Billy named me assistant captain,” he said. “Being chosen to be a leader at such a

Dustin said that he is going to take courses at Algonquin College to become a certified truck and coach technician. Although the sport does not receive a great deal of media coverage, Dustin said that it can draw a large number of spectators and drivers from across Canada and the United States. “Up in Norwood (Ont.) there were almost 7,000 people there watching, it was hard to get through the people to get onto the track,” he said. “In Peterborough we were signing autographs.

You don’t get that every day. It’s neat.” Dustin tries to compete every weekend at various events. He said that the majority of his races are at fairs in towns across Ontario. Dustin said his parents are very supportive of his racing, which is not surprising since his mother, Kelly, and his father also race competitively. “I always liked racing, I used to drag race when I was young,” Ian said. Several members of the Murphy family are members of Grass Hogs Racing, a lawn tractor racing club based out of eastern Ontario. The club’s next race is schedule for Sept. 12 at the Picton Fair in Picton, Ont. Kelly said that she really enjoys racing competitively with the Grass Hogs team while being able to spend time with her family. “Every weekend everybody brings potluck and eats, it’s very much a family affair,” she said. “Family that plays together, stays together.” For more information on lawn(Left photo) Dustin Murphy (left) poses with Jaden Dowdall (middle) and Ian Murphy (right) after winning mower racing in eastern Ontario, his qualifying race (photo at right) in the super-modified class at the Perth Fair on Saturday, Sept. 4.

equipment. “Last year someone rolled his tractor and ended up with a broken collar bone and cracked ribs,” he said. Dustin has enjoyed working on machines since he was 15 years old and is currently working an apprenticeship with Crain Construction as a shop mechanic.

young age on such a good hockey team means a lot.” McNamee enjoyed his most productive season to date in the CHL scoring 25 goals and 31 assists for 56 points in 62 games. Even though he nearly doubled his goal production from the previous season (13 goals in 59 games), he said he always thought of himself as a playmaker more than a goal scorer. “I see the ice well and I consider myself a smart player,” he said. “My mom and dad always tell me to shoot more.” McNamee said that he was extremely thankful for all the support his family has shown him during his years on the ice. “When people say you won’t be there without them it’s true,” he said. “All those early morning… you have to thank them whenever you can.” McNamee will be attending Perth and District Collegiate Institute this fall. He will be studying mathematics to improve his grades so he can go to college or university. He said that he hopes to be playing at a college or university by the 2011-12 season. McNamee said that he does not have a specific school in mind; he just wants to play at that next level of competition. “I’ve always tried to play the best level possible,” he said. McNamee said that he interested in studying sports medicine, but that he has not made up his mind as of yet. He has already received interest from scouts from schools in Bowling Green, Ohio and Providence, R.I. He hopes that he will one day play in the NHL. “I guess it’s the dream of any hockey player,” he said. “It’s not an impossible goal, I just have to keep working hard and do the best I can.”

Blue Wings’ Sundin not expecting big changes to roster for upcoming season BY ANDREW SNOOK

Steve Sundin, head coach of the Perth Blue Wings, said that he expects the bulk of the roster from last year to return to the team. “I’ve got 14 returning players including my whole defense core from last year,” he said. “We may be looking for goaltending though.” Sundin is not optimistic about his 2009-10 season goaltenders, Jeremy Wright and Troy Anderson, returning to the team. Both goaltenders are currently trying out with junior A clubs. “If both came back I would be a pretty happy hockey coach, but I’m not counting on it,” he said. Sundin said that fans should not expect a huge change in the style of play from last year’s championship team, coached by Jeff Snow. “Jeff and I had the same philosophy last year,” he said. “We’re not going to trap, we’re going to Perth Blue Wings defenseman Connor McGahey leads a rush out of come at you.

When it comes to racing, Dustin Murphy knows how to hit the grass and go. The 20-year-old Perth resident has been racing lawn tractors competitively since 2007. He still remembers the first time he raced a mower for fun against his father, Ian Murphy. “We had two old lawn tractors we were fixing, getting them ready for the summer,” Dustin said. “We went to go park them and we ended up driving around doing laps.” Dustin earned his first lawn tractors by cutting the grass for one of his neighbours for an entire summer. After that, he began going to competitive races in the area and learned how to convert his lawnmowers into racing machines. He said that owning and maintaining a lawn tractor for competitive racing does not have to be a costly venture. He said that to compete in the stock modified class, a person could compete for as low as $100 to $300 dollars. “My favourite is the stockmod because I’ve been in it for so long,” Dustin said. “You have

the attitude that you need to hang on to it for dear life. When you go into a corner its going 60 kilometres you’ll see it going up on two wheels a lot of the time.” Although racing the mowers comes with a certain level of risk, Dustin said that all drivers have to follow safe driving procedures which include wearing protective

PGHA looking for players and coaches BY ANDREW SNOOK andrew.snook@perthcourier.com The Perth Girls Hockey Association (PGHA) is looking for players and coaches for the upcoming 2010-11 season. Girls of all ages and skills are welcome to come out and hit the ice. “We start at fundamentals, ages three to six, with certified instructors and go all the way up to the Senior A level,” she said. “Hockey is great for girls socially.” Jayanna Wood, president of the PGHA, said that girls looking to play for the first time are welcome to come and practise for the first two weeks of September for free.

The association hopes to fill open roster spots at each level of competition before games begin in October, including in the PGHA’s new novice level that kicks off this season. Wood said that each team currently has between eight and 10 girls ready to play. The PGHA is also looking for new coaches and volunteers for the 2010-11 season. Although all volunteers are welcome, Wood hopes that more women will take up coaching this year. All potential coaches and volunteers must pass a criminal record check in order to participate. For more information contact Jayanna Wood at 613-267-7810 or go online to: www. perth.goalline.ca.

B6 - THE PERTH COURIER - Thursday, September 09, 2010

Networking, fun and giving back the community CFUW of Perth and District and the Stewart Park Festival together, raised over $10,000. The CFUW’s share was presented to Care Canada in support of the Sahabhagita Project in Nepal, which was the CFUW’s main international focus for 2010. Annually, the CFUW works on several different fundraising activities with all funds distributed to causes that answer the group’s mandate. One new project is the gourmet club cook book, which is currently being completed and should be on sale next month. This will include gourmet club menus produced over the past few years and promises to be a real hit. In addition, work continues in the environment and advocacy arenas. The latest success in the first week of September this year was the final passing of an anti-idling bylaw by the Town of Perth after a long, drawn-out effort by the CFUW environment

Nothing can compare to the great feeling you experience when you are part of a team responsible for fundraising and then seeing those funds allocated to the benefit of adults and children in the community. Perhaps you want to get involved in community volunteerism but do not know where to start. How would you like to join a group of interesting colleagues, have fun working to raise monies for some very worthy causes and enjoy the chance to participate in new social activities? The Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) could be your answer. CFUW is an organization of women that promotes quality education, participates in pub-lic affairs and improves the status of women and girls in an atmosphere of friendship and co-operation. Membership is not limited to university graduates, all women from diverse educational backgrounds are welcome. The Perth Royal Canadian Legion Branch 244 will host the first meeting of the season at 6 p.m. on Sept. 20. The first meeting of the new season is always a very popular one and CFUW encourages potential new members to attend. Returning members will provide an expansive potluck meal. There is a festive spirit and a general feeling of camaraderie,

fostered by years of working together and raising funds for the community through a myriad of initiatives. Those fundraising initiatives are achieved through thorough planning, organization and hands-on commitment by each respective committee, whether it is for the Heritage Perth Christmas Home Tour, advocacy, education, literacy and the arts, environment and hospitality, to name a few. On Sept. 20, you will have the opportunity to sign up for these and others. In addition, CFUW offers an array of social activities including supper club, gourmet club, book club, bridge, dog walking, Spanish, French travel and many others. The CFUW’s major fundraising event annually is the Heritage Perth Christmas Home Tour and this year it will take place on Saturday, Dec. 4 and Sunday, Dec. 5 from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on both days. Tickets will go on sale on Nov. 1 at the Home Furniture store in Perth. The proceeds from this project assist in funding the CFUW’s education awards which were donated to 21 successful applicants this year. That same fundraising project allows the CFUW to make additional donations under its education, literacy and arts umbrella and this will continue to be an objective in 2011. Internationally, last spring, the Best Ever Dance and Best Ever Auction, jointly presented by
