Fenik acclaimed as Perth mayor BY LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@perthcourier.com Perth Mayor John Fenik will return for another term. Fenik has served on Perth town council for 13 years. He was elected as deputy mayor in 2003 and mayor in 2006 and is currently serving a one-year term as warden of Lanark County. Since no challengers filed nominations for the position by last week’s election deadline, Fenik was acclaimed as mayor. Fenik said he was feeling “pretty good” about his acclamation and
he is looking forward to being an observer for the first time during the election season. “I’ve had to fight in every election I’ve ever entered,” Fenik said. “I’m going to go to the allcandidates debates and listen to what the candidates have to say.” Fenik said he feels as though he will have to work “twice as hard” as mayor because he didn’t face a challenger in the election. His priorities for the next fouryear term will be to continue positioning Perth at the forefront of renewable energy as a “green”
town, and to encourage citizen engagement. Lobbying for a bypass road in Perth will be “critical” as plans for the re-alignment of Highway 7 progress, Fenik said. “It’s make or break for the bypass,” he said.
Gemmell returning as deputy mayor Deputy Mayor John Gemmell also returns for another term in his position. Gemmell was elected by council members to fill the deputy mayor’s seat, which
was vacant following the death of former deputy mayor Wendy Laut in February of 2009. He has served on Perth council since 2003. All incumbent members of council are seeking to return, including: Judy Brown, Eric Devlin, Ed McPherson, Beth Peterkin and Bill White. New candidates who have thrown their hats into the ring include Jim Boldt, Jim Graff and Kelly Lowry. Those eight candidates will compete for five seats on council. The municipal election will take place on Oct. 25.
Four-way race for mayor in Lanark Highlands BY LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@perthcourier.com Two surprise last-minute candidates join the incumbent mayor and a councillor in the race for the mayor’s chair in Lanark Highlands. At the close of the nomination period last Friday, Mayor Bob Fletcher found himself opposed by Ward 4 Coun. Peter McLaren, Pinegrove Road resident Cory Donaldson and Lanark village resident Ryta Dulmage. “I think it’s always a good thing to have a race,” said Fletcher who remained unopposed until two weeks ago, when McLaren declared his intention to run for the top seat. The two incumbent candidates represent two sides of a divided council that has seen a 3-4 voting split on the majority of issues the council has faced in the past year. Three of the mayoral candidates agreed that consensus building would be paramount in the next term of council (Dulmage could not be reached for comment). “The future of Lanark Highlands depends on a council that can work together,” Fletcher said. “In the end, they (councillors) have to be willing to form an opinion that they can all work with … and make sure decisions work for the whole township. “The problem is if you have people who can’t compromise,” Fletcher said. “Everybody needs to give and take.” Council needs to have more stability and rekindle better working relationships with the MP and MPP, McLaren said. Donaldson said that the current councillors went into this term with good intentions but have ended up divided. He said he hopes a new council will be a fresh start that voters can be proud of.

‘Milestone’ groundbreaking for new Perth campus Dozens of people gathered at Algonquin College’s Perth campus to celebrate the groundbreaking of what is designed to become Perth’s greenest building. Construction has begun on a $10-million project to build a new building for the college’s Heritage Institute, which will open next September. “This is a giant leap forward for the college, and Perth is a part of that,” said Ottawa WestNepean MPP Bob Chiarelli, Ontario’s minister of energy and infrastructure, who attended the event. Dignitaries gathered to mark the ceremonial start of construction on the new, 3,900square-metre (42,000-squarefoot) building. The new campus will accommodate 40 per cent more students (from about 300 to about 400) and is designed to achieve LEED Gold certification. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) standards recognize energy efficiency and suitability building practices; gold is the secondhighest level of certification. “This building reflects sustainability, and that’s what we want to do,” said Robert Gillet, the college’s president. He said the principals used to design the building will mirror the practices the college teaches as part of its advanced housing program. The campus’s design incorporates traditional materials into a modern design, representing both the advanced housing program and the heritage carpentry and masonry trades that are taught at the Perth campus. The project has received $9million in federal and provincial through the Knowledge in Infrastructure program, the province’s budget and the college community. The Algonquin College Students’ Association
that will start next fall. Gillet acknowledged Perth Mayor John Fenik for his role in lobbying for funding to build the new campus. “He made sure the importance of the campus to Perth was well known,” Gillet said. “When I lobbied for this project, it wasn’t about the building and the bricks and mortar,” Fenik said. “It’s about dreams, hopes, aspirations, goals and enlightenment. “The students of Algonquin College are valuable assets and part of our community here in Perth and Lanark County,” Fenik said. “That in itself is a legacy,” Chiarelli said of Perth’s commitment to the campus. “It also sends a strong message that the community has its act together. It gives confidence to other ministries and private industry.”

Charges laid in transport crash BY LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@perthcourier.com A transport truck driver was charged after a truck and a car ended up in the front yard of a home on County Road 43 on Wednesday, Sept. 8. Luckily, only minor injuries were sustained in the crash that involved a transport truck and a car. The collision occurred at 10:35 a.m. when a westbound transport truck tried to pass a slower vehicle. OPP said the second vehicle involved in the collision was already attempting to pass the transport truck, and was cut off when the transport began to pull into the left lane. The transport and car never came into contact with each other, but the drivers’ attempts to avoid a collision resulted in both vehicles leaving the roadway. The car, driven by Leslie-Anne Lentz of the Perth and Smiths Falls area (her teenages son, Connor Coupland, was also in the car), flipped onto its roof and came to rest on the front lawn of a County Road 43 home in Drummond/North Elmsley Township. They were taken to the Perth
site of the Perth hospital with minor injuries and released later that day. Lentz’s partner, Steve Close, said there was some irony in the crash, as Lentz was the first person on the scene at a singlevehicle crash just outside Carleton Place the week before. “This just happened last week,” Close said. “She was coming home from Ottawa with her friend who is a nurse, and they were behind the car when (the crash) happened.” The badly damaged transport truck tipped onto its side in the ditch. The driver was not injured. The driver said he has been driving trucks for about five years and was hauling a load of asphalt from Havelock, Ont. to Williamsburg, Ont. Lanark County OPP charged a 26-yearold Limoges man with attempting to pass when the roadway was not clear. Traffic on County Road 43 was reduced to one lane for about five hours while the crash was investigated and crews cleaned up about 40 litres of diesel fuel that leaked from the truck, which was carrying asphalt for a construction project. The cleanup continued on Thursday.

He spent eight years as reeve of Lanark village and only had two short breaks away from council during his tenure. He most recently represented Ward 3. He first got involved with politics as an extension of the discussions that happened at the village barbershop that he ran. Echlin grew up in Lanark and has many memories of accomplishments during his political career – even the first year council approved putting artificial ice into the village arena. “I’ve enjoyed it,” Echlin said. “I wouldn’t have changed a thing.”

doing,” said Coun. Ed McPherson. “Maybe the time has come to be a bit tough on this.” The option discussed by council would see the amount of discretionary funds given out tied to the population. A rate of $3.10 per person (population 6,000) was used as an average figure based on what other municipalities give to come up with a suggested amount of $18,600 for grants in Perth. Councillors worried that change would cut groups’ budgets too thin, and decided to change the granting policy, but leave the dollar amount to be determined during the budget process next year. “We’re higher, but we hold ourselves
to a higher standard,” said Mayor John Fenik. “I’m supportive of the essence of the motion, but I’m not sure of the figure … I’m worried we’re falling too far, too fast.” Coun. Bill White put it more bluntly, saying that community groups should be made aware if there is going to be a change, because losing grant money will “kick them in the butt.” Last year, the Youth Action Kommittee received the largest chunk of discretionary funds from Perth at $12,000. The Stewart Park Festival got $7,759, the Heritage Building Restoration Fund received $7,529 and the Rideau Heritage Route was given $6,000, among others.

Unique accessible trail launches BY LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@perthcourier.com Lanark County Trails is hoping the opening of its new accessible trail is the first of many big projects. The Lanark County Municipal Trails Corporation (also known as Lanark County Trails) celebrated its first project by revealing the Tay River Pathway and the design of a new sign to mark the trail, which is located behind Lanark Lodge retirement home in Tay Valley on the west border of Perth. “This is just a taste of what can happen,” said Susan Freeman, trails corporation chair and deputy reeve of Tay Valley Township. “People are beginning to realize what a gem we have here.” The Tay River Pathway’s construction makes it accessible to people who have mobility concerns.
The striking white calcite ma-terial that forms the base of the path makes it easy for people with low vision to see where they are going. The material, which was donated by Omya Canada’s Glen Tay plant, is bound with soil glue to make it hard and easier for wheelchairs and walkers to traverse. The path was construct ed by Crain Construction as an in-kind donation. There are also a number of benches to provide resting spots for people who would like to enjoy the wilderness along the Tay River and behind the Lanark County administration building, where a community garden is located. The trail is currently 1.5 kilometres in length, but Lanark County Trails hopes to expand that and continue the trail along the river. There are also plans for platforms on the river’s edge that could be used for sightseeing,
resting and fishing.
Future trails
Donate a tree or bench Those plans are dependant on raising money, and the trails corporation announced fundraising initiatives. Individuals and groups can purchase a commemorative tree and adjacent plaque for $200 to $300, depending on the species of tree (all trees in the program are species native to the area).

Several benches donated by local municipalities (Carleton Place, Drummond/North Elmsley, Lanark Highlands, Mississippi Mills and Tay Valley, as well as the Lanark County Stewardship Council) have already donated benches for the Tay River Pathway.

Drummond Ward councillors Gail Code and Ken Fournier, who was the successful candidate in a July byelection, were both acclaimed to their positions because they faced no opposition. It is a different story in North Elmsley Ward, where incumbent
councillors Russell Foster and Michael McEwan face challenges from Ted Letts, Charlotte Reed and Ray Scissons. At the beginning of its term, council will elect one of the Drummond Ward representatives as deputy reeve, because the reeve hails from North Elmsley.

The three candidates will vie for two positions in that ward. Coun. Chris Rawling, who currently represents Sherbrooke alongside Darling, will not seek re-election.
Burgess Ward will see one new face representing residents. Newcomer Greg Hallam will join Coun. Brian Campbell in representing that ward. Coun.

COMMUNITY NEWS
Lanark transit running on empty BY PATRICIA LONERGAN patricia.lonergan@metroland.com Carleton Place councillors will not increase funding to Lanark Community Transit, which is close to being broke. The decision came during a committee meeting on Sept. 7 that was initially scheduled to be a closed door session but was opened to the public when councillors determined it did not meet any of the provisions that allow for a closed meeting. The vote, however, came after Coun. Wendy LeBlanc suddenly requested a recess so she could have a private conversation behind closed doors with councillors Louis Antonakos and Jerry Flynn. When the meeting resumed, all three councillors voted in favour of maintaining the current loan commitment. Lanark Community Transit (LCT) president Cliff Neudorf went before councillors asking to increase its $120,000 loan from the town to $150,000 to act as a cushion. He also asked the town to absorb the $5,778 in legal expenses from the $40,000 Carleton Place granted LCT on top of the loan. The legal expenses are associated with establishing the non-profit group. The organization, which runs commuter buses from Carleton Place to Ottawa and back, does not have enough money left from its $120,000 loan to pay its August bill. Lanark Community Transit (LCT) will only have enough to cover its August expenses if it counts the September fares, indicated town treasurer Phil Hogan. According to a financial statement circulated to councillors, LCT is facing a net loss of $130,246. Contrary to documents presented by the town treasurer, Neudorf estimated LCT will see a shortfall starting in October of just over $3,500, with that amount rising to $26,393 in December. The difference in the forecasts was partially accounted for in how the GST/ HST rebate was being applied. LCT’s figures assumed it would be receiving a rebate, while the town indicated it has already removed the tax burden from the organization and no rebate would be forthcoming. “We are out of money right now,” Carleton Place Mayor Paul Dulmage said, explaining councillors have to decide whether or not to continue funding transit with tax dollars. He indicated LCT has not yet demonstrated it can increase ridership
and questioned if it was time to “cut the bolt” on the operation. LeBlanc, meanwhile, noted that the municipality of Clarence-Rockland subsidizes its commuter transit system by about $250,000 a year. She argued that transit is a vital service for commuters and current ridership numbers are not indicative of future growth. “It bothers me we’re making judgments based on the first four months,” she said, adding she supports establishing an annual budget to fund transit. Carleton Place staff recommended councillors either offer to assist LCT with discontinuing transit service, or determine that commuter transit is an important municipal service and commit to establishing an annual budget to fund the net cost of transit operations. While councillors were clear they support the idea of transit, there were concerns expressed about the amount of money already being spent on LCT. In the end, councillors agreed to continue to honour the $120,000 loan guarantee and release the roughly $28,000 left in the $40,000 grant for LCT to spend as needed. Councillors also passed a motion to absorb the legal costs, giving LCT an additional $5,778. As for the future of transit in the area, councillors suggested the next council should sit down sometime in December and decide if transit funding is possible in 2011.
Expanding to Smiths Falls Despite the precarious financial position of LCT, Smiths Falls Coun. Chris Cummings, who represents Smiths Falls council on LCT, said the news doesn’t affect a potential service expansion into Smiths Falls. He indicated he continues to work with the organization in good faith. “We’re very close to negotiating an extension of services to Smiths Falls,” he said. “Very close. I’m very encouraged by the process.” The town is conducting a survey to determine if Smiths Falls requires a commuter service. Cummings said 70 people responded with interest in a service, and added LCT is only one option being examined. “LCT is one avenue we’re looking at,” he said. “If it doesn’t work out, there is another plan in the making.” With files from Melissa Di Costanzo.

Rare windstorm damages Perth residence BY ANDREW SNOOK andrew.snook@perthcourier.com On Friday, Sept. 3 at 4:30 p.m., Bill Kelford got into his pickup truck and drove away from his home to deliver some ice. A few moments later, he felt a gust of wind that nearly pushed his truck off the road. He said he thought the strength of the wind was a little out of the ordinary, but did not realize the severity of the storm, until he arrived back at his home on County Road 43. Nine of his tall poplar trees lay in a giant pile in his backyard, covering his sheds and his truck cap. The trees were pulled with such force that their roots ripped right out of the ground and were almost entirely exposed to the sun. A sheet of steel from his neighbour’s barn, more than 30 metres away, was sitting in his front yard. One of his lawn chairs was resting in his corn field and a mess of branches and other materials were scattered all over his front and back yards. Fortunately, his home was untouched. But
how, and why did this happen? The Kelford residence was the victim of a microburst. “It’s kind of mind boggling,” Kelford said as he surveyed the damage. “Imagine what it would have sounded like when nine trees came down.” A microburst is a localized storm that produces extremely strong downward winds (up to 270 kilometres/hour) that affect an area of up to 4 km in diameter. The storms usually only last a few seconds but have the strength to knock down fully-grown trees. Kelford said that it was fortunate he needed to go deliver some ice, because otherwise his truck would be buried with the rest of his equipment in his backyard. Only about 10 m from the pile of fallen trees, his wood pile sat perfectly organized, completely untouched. The 57-year-old Perth resident wasn’t happy about the rare storm touching down on his property, but appeared to remain optimistic about the experience. “It’s a little different, I’m always good for excitement,” he said.

EDITORIAL OUR OPINION
Who are your community leaders?
I
t’s that time of year once again. The seasons are changing from summer to fall, children and families everywhere are preparing for a fresh start to the school year, and local political leaders are gearing up for the upcoming municipal elections by promoting their plans for growth and positive change to their communities. While there may be only one winning candidate, and ultimately one leader responsible for making our community a better place, there are numerous youth who do just as much, if not more, without recognition. These extraordinary young people intuitively understand what the word “community” is really about and selflessly give their time to various causes, making them community leaders in their own right. So who are these youth and where can we find them? They are all over this community – volunteering with local groups, schools, churches and sports teams. It is just a matter of picking them out of the crowd. This newspaper strongly supports the Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Awards here in Perth so we can provide recognition for such outstanding young people who are, and will continue to be, fine examples of leaders in our community. The awards program is co-coordinated by the Ontario Community Newspapers Association (OCNA), of which we are a member. Any Ontario resident aged six to 17 is eligible to receive an Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Award. Please help us by nominating an individual in one of four areas: • A person involved in worthwhile community service. • A special young person contributing to their community while living with a physical or psychological limitation. • Someone who has performed an act of heroism in the past year. • Young people who show a commitment to making life better for others and those who do more than is normally expected of someone their age. Up to 12 nominees will be chosen as the final recipients of the provincial award and will be invited to a ceremony held in Niagara Falls in the spring of 2011. Each nominee will receive a certificate. The nomination deadline for the 2010 Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Awards is Nov. 30. Nomination forms are available at www. ocna.org or by calling OCNA at 905-639-8720 ext 239. Tell us what you think. Email letters to editor@perthcourier.com.

speed, strength and agility. Encumbered as they were with their safety gear, about which they were meticulous, they seemed to scamper about like human squirrels high up in the branches. More than one real squirrel seemed to be astonished at this invasion of their domain It is worthy to put an article in the paper somewhat in advance, but signage and banners would have helped impress upon the public that an event was imminent. In mid-afternoon when the masters’ competition was underway there were no more than a few hundred onlookers who nevertheless lustily cheered on the contestants and were rewarded by a fine performance. Local businesses would have profited significantly if greater crowds were drawn in to a quality function
such as this one. They surely have a self-interest in getting on board with publicity for such occasions. If there is a local chamber of commerce they slipped up
on this one. Regrettably, we may have to wait another 22 years before our turn comes around again. That is our loss. Doug Trigg, Perth

Summer, we need to talk D
ear Summer. We need to talk. I can’t do this anymore. I think we need to break up. It’s not you, really. It’s me. I feel differently about you now, and I’m sorry. I know you’re thinking this is about the weather – those alternating hot stinky smoggy days versus cool drizzly times. It’s not that, although the lastgasp heat waves of 40-plus degrees followed by a dramatic drop to 14 are a bit harsh. Actually, I’ve been concerned about our relationship for a number of years now. I remember those carefree days when we first met, back in the 1970s, when I could strip down to a bathing suit and frolic day in and day out without a care in the world. Oh, how I loved you, Summer! You were warm and loving. We were about playing outside and eating Jell-O popsicles and running through sprinklers and splashing in pools and catching frogs and building forts and looking for fireflies and camping and everything fun. As our relationship matured, we still had a great time. Even though I had part-time jobs in high school and university, you still meant a break from school. The jobs were fun and I worked with friends and we could still gallivant and play. In fact, even when I became a grown-up you weren’t so bad – at least at first. I still had holidays during which I could enjoy your offerings. There was still travelling and patios and swimming and hiking and camping and gardening. There still seemed to be ample free time to do these things. But something has changed, Summer, and I’m not sure if
Stephanie
GRAY Past Deadline there’s any going back. Maybe it’s because I have kids now and that makes life busier in general, but you just aren’t what you used to be. You’re hot and humid and I’m – well – less willing to gallivant in a bathing suit these days. The longer I run my air conditioner the more expensive you become. Really, though, it’s less about the weather and more about how I set myself up for failure with my own expectations of you. Every year as you approach I say, “This time I’m going to...” and out flows a litany of things to do. The list encompasses everything from changes in routine to make sure we get outside to enjoy you more to travel plans to things we hope to get done around the house and so much more. It’s too much. The list never ends. Soon we’re busy shoehorning all these wonderful plans around work because, unlike our kids, we don’t have eight or more
weeks off the way we used to. A myriad of unexpected things pop up because everyone has weird schedules during these holidays – which can be good, but not always. As the halfway mark passes in a flash I have to resign myself to the fact I’ll probably never accomplish everything I wanted to do. This annoys me and I start to kick dirt. And then, in a blink, the end of August appears and school is around the corner and lo and behold I’m one of those moms heaving a huge sigh of relief because everyone is getting back into a routine. I guess I’m just not that fun-loving, spontaneous, bathing-suit-wearing girl I used to be. Even though I have felt this way for years, I think the time has come to publicly acknowledge the end of our love affair. Summer, I have fallen for someone else: Autumn. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean for it to end this way, but Autumn offers so much more for me: routine, nicer temperatures, no pressure to wear a bathing suit, the ability to use my oven more to make the comfort foods I love and, most importantly, lowered expectations. Sure, there are things I want to do in Autumn, but even though it’s busy as stink, it’s expected to be that way. I have no illusions about languishing around on deck chairs sipping margueritas or spending countless hours gardening or swimming or hiking. Autumn doesn’t fool me like you do every year. So, goodbye, Summer. I’m sorry, but it’s over. Here’s your sunhat. I hope we can still be friends.

The mighty monopod
L
ately, I’ve been using my monopod much more than in the past and have come to really appreciate the merits of this terrific little tool. So, what’s the big deal? Why not just use a tripod? A good tripod is quite heavy – fine for shoots where one is not going long distances on foot, but it magically increases in weight with each kilometre hiked. There are super-light tripods available for those who are not pocket-book impaired, but most of us can’t justify that kind of expense. Thus, the mighty monopod. A monopod is simply a tripod with only one leg, which retracts the same way as tripod legs do. Because of its design, it’s much much lighter than the threelegged monster. They also cost less – quite a bit less. As with anything you buy, you basically get what you pay for. A $20 monopod will not be the same thing as a $120 pod, and one can easily go up from there until the law of diminishing returns kicks in. How tall are you? My first monopod was really too short for me, meaning I had to stoop to look through the viewfinder. If your camera doesn’t have a viewfinder, length may not be
Graeme
CRABB Camera Corner so important. My newer pod extends much further and is way more comfortable for me to use. Next, I really recommend a head for the monopod. Pods tend to come with just a screw thread on top, which goes into the threaded socket on the bottom of your camera. Yes, it does work, but limits your use and enjoyment of the tool severely. The head comes with a quick-release plate which attaches to the camera, then the camera snaps into place. Use it once and you’ll never want to be without it. There are
two common types of heads suitable for monopods. One, like the popular Manfrotto 234RC, lets you shoot horizontally or vertically and is great for panning, especially when shooting video. It’s best for shooting straight ahead, not up or down. I prefer a ball head, which allows unlimited positioning of the camera without doing contortions. My new monopod has a very clever feature. By squeezing a trigger I can instantly raise or lower the pod. I find this really useful when adjusting the angle for shooting. With the quick-release plate, I can attach or detach the camera in seconds. There are a couple of monopods on the market that have flipout legs on the bottom, enabling them to double as tripods. I discovered, though, that they are great if working on level ground, but awkward if on any kind of slope, as the small legs are either in or out – no in between. Also, you wouldn’t want to leave your camera on this unit when in tripod mode if there’s a strong wind blowing. Bye bye camera! These handy gadgets have become more popular lately, so there are more choices. Check ‘em out. Click!

The Perth Fire Department is committed to providing a Fire Safe Community. • To coincide with Fire Prevention Week, the Perth Fire Department will be conducting our annual Smoke Alarm Blitz on Wednesday October 6th from 6PM until 8:30PM The Volunteer Fire Fighters will be going door to door in various neighbourhoods throughout town making sure people have working smoke alarms on every level of their home. If we don’t make it to your home and you have questions regarding your smoke alarm, contact us at the number below. • Test your smoke alarms monthly and change the batteries once a year. A good reminder to do this is in the fall. When you change your clocks, change your batteries. • It is recommended to change your smoke alarms every 10 years. • A working smoke alarm and an effective escape plan are crucial in surviving a fire in your home. You should always have two ways out of your residence and have a meeting place so that everyone is accounted for. Make sure you practice your escape. • Keep hallways, stairwells and doors leading to the outside clear. Cluttered or blocked exits could make the difference of surviving a fire in your apartment or house. • Keep a close eye on the stove while you’re cooking and don’t keep combustibles items on or near it. Kitchen fires are the #1 cause of house fires in the province. • Install carbon monoxide alarms in your homes to detect this deadly gas. • We recommend that all home owners have their heating systems serviced annually. Faulty furnaces not only waste energy, but pose a fire and carbon monoxide hazard. • Wood burning appliances as well as all chimneys should be inspected by qualified contractors, to ensure all components are in good working condition. Use metal pails for ashes. • Fire Prevention is the key, do your part to help make Perth a safe place to live, work, and play. Questions can be directed to the Perth Fire Department at 613-267-5574.

One dead as tornado touches down on Big Rideau
A
weekend boating trip on the Big Rideau Lake ended in tragedy Saturday for three Espanola couples after their rented houseboat was ripped to shreds by a tornado. The incident claimed the life of Diane Kelly, 40, and left several others injured, but none seriously. According to Westport OPP, Kelly died about 6:30 p.m. Saturday after the houseboat had been rolled over a number of times. Witnesses stated that the boat flipped over and over again in waves that measured six feet in height. The 30-foot houseboat had been rented from Big Rideau Lake Rentals at Rideau Ferry just 30 minutes prior to the accident. After the tornado struck the craft, all that was left were three pontoons, and debris was strewn throughout the area.
Five others on board were rescued by boaters and cottage owners from a nearby island. The tornado cut a swathe four kilometres long and destroyed several cottages that lay in its path. “I heard it coming and it sounded just like a freight train ... a low moaning sound,” stated Terry Sled, manager of Sled’s Grocery in Portland. Sled was sitting on the porch at his residence in Portland when he heard the tornado approaching. “It was really something to hear,” said Sled. “The damage was awesome,” said Sled, and his brother went on to say that, “It looked like someone had taken a chainsaw and cut right through the area.” Sled and his brother Rick toured the damaged area twice on Sunday and were amazed at the destruction.

Council expected to ink core pact
materials to be used for construction. There will likely be a public meeting to discuss the plans prior to the November municipal election. The lease which might be inked Tuesday is a long-term lease with National Grocers. The lease which was expected to be discussed Tuesday concerns only the financial deal between National Grocers and the town. Plans for the grocery store building on the core site show the building and parking spaces taking up much of the location, with a small parcel of land remaining for further development.
Perth town council was expected to approve a lease agreement pact with National Grocers for the downtown-core site at the regular Tuesday-night council meeting this week. An informed source indicated the matter would be dealt with at the Tuesday-night meeting and an agreement on financial terms might be signed. The proposed pact was described as “very advantageous” to the town. However, before National Grocers can go ahead and erect a building, there are four conditions which must be met. The Strikes rock cut, conditions include approval of pickup driver dies the flood plain situation in the area, approval of the Ontario MuA 35-year-old Maberly man was nicipal Board, approval of a site killed Friday night after the pickplan agreement and approval of up truck he was driving slammed into a rock cut on Cty.

Perth, a daughter.
Fire fires in three days
T
he Perth and rural fire brigades were swamped with fire calls from Thursday evening until Saturday afternoon, during which time they were summoned to five outbreaks. On Thursday evening, at about 6:15 p.m., a storage barn on the farm of Peter Mast was destroyed from an undetermined cause, resulting in an estimated loss of $3,000. Equipment in connection with the operation of Mr. Mast’s greenhouses was stored in the building and nothing was saved, so quickly did the fire spread. Deputy Fire Chief Eric Nixon and Carman Echlin rushed the fire pumper to the scene, but the blaze had gained too much headway and the whole building was ablaze. The dry grass near the building caught fire, but this was soon extinguished and the surrounding area soaked with water. Before the pumper returned to town, the siren sounded for another call to the Quattrocchi building on Gore Street, for a blaze in the apartment of Mr. and Mrs. Rodger Barrie. A pan of grease ignited on the stove, but was extinguished before the local fire brigade arrived. Considerable damage was caused to the contents of the apartment and to the electric stove. About 3:30 p.m. Friday afternoon, the rural fire brigade was called to the United Cedar Post Factory, on the Ferry Road, a mile south of Perth, to a blaze which had started in a large pile of cedar bark and trimmings, which is believed to have ignited from a spark that passed through the conveyor pipe from the mill. Eric Nixon and Carman Echlin had the pumper on the scene within a few minutes, but they
soon realized that the blaze was much larger than the 500-gallon tank could combat. The huge pile was about 40 feet high and occupied a space of approximately 300 square feet. The huge pile was a mass of flames, with sparks flying in a southeasterly direction towards a cedar bush. The mill was only a short distance from the blaze but, fortunately, the wind was blowing away from the wooden structure. Fire wardens and firemen from Elmsley Township, as well as Perth firemen, joined in the battle in the evening and continued their efforts until dawn on Saturday morning. At this time they had the fire under control, but not fully extinguished, and the pumper and a crew stood by playing water on the blaze. A number of men remained on the scene during Saturday night and the blaze was finally subdued on Sunday morning. A call to the farm home of John Belanger, 7th Line of Bathurst, was received on Saturday morning and the rural pumper was rushed to the scene. A number of men were baling straw near the barn when fire broke out around the machine. The blaze was under control when Cliff Truelove and Carman Echlin arrived with the pumper. About four o’clock Saturday afternoon, the rural brigade was summoned to the farm home of Eldon Garrett, 2nd Concession of Bathurst. A calf had died from Black Leg and Mr. Garrett was burning the carcass when fire started on the ground, but the blaze stopped before reaching the buildings. Costs and damages from the five fires were estimated at $6,000,

Ice death spurs action Action will likely be taken next month with regard to hazardous ice and snow on downtown Perth rooftops, says Phil Aston, chairman of the town building and planning committee. Aston said this week the committee has looked at the possibility of amending the municipal property standards bylaw. The committee will now receive legal advice with regard to amending the bylaw and probably introduce an amendment early in October. Aston says the problem with amending the bylaw is enforcing any amendment, and the municipality wants to take a hard look at the legal ramifications. The study of the situation by the property and planning committee stems from the death last winter of seven-month-old Jenna Marie Bowers, who was struck by falling ice and snow from a Gore Street building.

The golden age of badminton BY ANDREW SNOOK andrew.snook@perthcourier.com Move over Batman and Robin, there’s a new dynamic duo, and they live in Perth and Smiths Falls. Perth’s Jack Powell, 66, and Smiths Falls’ Leo Thibault, 70, competed at the Canada 55+ Games that took place in Brockville from Aug. 23 to 28. They won the gold in the men’s doubles badminton in the 65-plus category. The two athletes met a few years ago at the Rideau Regional Centre Gym in Smiths Falls. Both men obtained a great deal of their badminton experience while working in the Canadian Armed Forces. Powell said that the sport was a great exercise for fitness and stress relief. “It was a very popular military sport,” he said. Powell moved back to Perth after retiring from the military in 1994, his last position was as a base administration officer CFB Chatham in New Brunswick. Thibault moved to Smiths Falls almost four years ago and met Powell shortly after arriving. “We do work very well; we have the same style,” Thibault said. “We know what each other are
doing. I was in the forces for 36 years, I went through the same ropes that he did.” Thibault said that the key to their success is the strength and speed behind their swings and playing like a cohesive unit. “I can hit it pretty good,” he said. “I’m used to playing with a hard shot. I never really was for a slow game.” Powell said that he and Thibault had no place in the area to practise this summer, so they drove to Kingston three times a week. Both men said that aging is the biggest challenge. “Old age is terrible,” Powell said. “I’m 66 and my partner is 70. We don’t recover as quickly as we used to.” Powell pulled his Achilles tendon in April and said he wouldn’t have been able to compete without help from his physiotherapist and chiropractor. “Now that we’re getting older it’s getting harder,” Thibault said. “Our minds are quick, but the body is slow.” Powell said that he has been playing for 52 years and coaching for almost 20 years. Although Powell has won a large number of medals at various events over the years,
he said his favourite badmintonrelated activity is coaching the students at St. John Catholic High School in Perth. “The kids seem to appreciate it,” he said. “They don’t necessarily like my military style of doing things, but they know if they’ve been with me for a couple of years that what I say works.” Thibault and Powell are hoping to successfully defend their Ontario Championship from Feb. 15 to 17, 2011 in Haliburton. Thibault said that there was one more reason for his team’s success. “Because Jack is shorter than I am I can always see the bird coming,” he joked. Powell certainly hasn’t lost his competitive spirit over the years. When asked what his favourite badminton-related memory was, he responded, “They’re all good memories whenever you win.”

Perth rower going solo Perth and District Community BY ANDREW SNOOK andrew.snook@perthcourier.com Perth’s Kate Goodfellow has decided to go solo. The medalwinning rower will change focus for her rowing competitions for the upcoming year. The 21-year-old has found success in a variety of team events including the under-23 quad, four, eight and pair. Her most recent victory occurred at the 128th Royal Canadian Henley Regatta that took place from Aug. 1 to 8 in St. Catharines, Ont. Goodfellow and her teammates (Mariel Boomgaardt, Athena Debrouwer and Samantha Kayser) won the Carl Dorland Trophy for finishing first in the under-23 women’s quad event. Although Goodfellow was happy with her performance at the Henley regatta, she said the highlight of her summer was at the FISA World Rowing Masters Regatta that took place from Sept. 2 to 5 in St. Catharines. She finished fifth in the A final for the under-23 women’s single.
Goodfellow said that she is looking forward to the new challenges she will encounter in the solo division. “It’s a much different race, much more psychological,” she said. Goodfellow said that the psychological aspect of the solo competitions is mainly about motivating yourself during races. “It comes down to how much you are going to push yourself,” she said. Goodfellow’s studies may be able to help her understand the mental challenges involved in solo competitions. She is currently studying psychology at the University of Ottawa. She will be competing for the university’s rowing team in the under-23 eight category this fall. Goodfellow said that rowing for the university team is good preparation for her solo events. “It works out really well,” she said. Her next competition will take place at the National Rowing Championships from Sept. 24 to 26 in Victoria, B.C.
centre open and ready for skaters BY ANDREW SNOOK andrew.snook@perthcourier.com Perth residents hit the ice last week to enjoy the newly re-opened Perth and District Community Centre. The arena was ready for skaters on Sept. 7. Shellee Evans, director of community services, said that the project is nearly finished, with only a few small details to be completed. “We are on budget and on time
and everything is going quite well,” Evans said. The $856,680 price tag for the renovation of the community centre included new piping, seating for persons with disabilities, replacing the ice surface and boards, repaving the parking lot, upgrades to the canteen, washrooms and dressing rooms, a new paint job, drainage improvements and new signage. The money for the project was funded by the Recreational In-
frastructure Canada program (RInC), a section of Canada’s Economic Action Plan. The only big surprise during the renovation was the discovery of a time capsule buried in 1965, at the time of the building’s original construction. The small piece of Perth’s history will be on hand for the grand opening celebration scheduled for Oct. 22 at 7 p.m. “We’ll be adding to it and putting it back in (the ground),” she said.

It is with great sorrow we wish to announce the sudden passing of Mr. Arthur Bennell on September 3, 2010. Predeceased by Mavis, his first wife and mother of his three sons, and survived by his loving wife Kayoko; Simon, Martin (Stephanie) and Peter (Donna); grandchildren Meagan and Christopher and their mother Joanne; Robbie and Sean; Sydney, Arthur and Nicholas; cousin Marjorie and brothers Jack and Bill. Arthur graduated from Manchester University in England with a degree in Metallurgy, and spent some time working for the British Atomic Energy Commission. Seeking a more rewarding life, Arthur, Mavis and Simon moved to Canada in 1957. He was hired by a small wire manufacturing company in Perth. Years later, after becoming owner and General Manager, he retired from Central Wire, now a successful world-class business. Sadly, Mavis passed away during this time. Arthur missed her terribly, but met Kayoko, fell in love and they married. Arthur often said that he was a lucky man to have loved and be loved by two wonderful women. Arthur and Kay moved to Victoria, B.C., where they enjoyed golfing, skiing and entertaining their many new friends. During his life Arthur travelled to many different parts of the world and brought back fascinating stories. He had an agile mind, a wicked sense of humour that he loved to share, and a love of life that never diminished. He gave as good as he got, and was never afraid of a challenge. He embraced life at every opportunity, and he shall be greatly missed by all whose lives he touched. As per Arthur’s wishes, a small family gathering was held in Victoria on September 8, 2010.
It’s how they live every day...

Forever in our hearts, Cindy, Gerry, Sean, Ryan

Have you ever pulled a woolen sweater out of the washing machine and found it shrunken and felted? Felting artists do this deliberately and the results are interesting, creative and beautiful. Marjolein Dallinga is one of Canada’s foremost felters and she will be speaking in Perth on Sunday, Sept. 19 at 2 p.m., as the first speaker in MERA’s Creative Spark artist fall lecture series taking place at McMartin House. An informal “meet the artist” session with light refreshments will follow each lecture. The Creative Spark series features well-known Canadian artists representing a variety of disciplines, and is presented by McDonalds Corners-Elphin Recreation and Arts (MERA), with support from the Ontario Arts Council. The lectures take place on al-ternate Sundays in the fall at 2 p.m. starting on Sept. 19. Admission is $5 or free for highschool students. Dallinga is a hands-on person and her creativity from an early age stems from her love of living things, horses and riding, movement and colors. She trained in graphic arts and painting at Minerva Academy, a fine arts institute in Groningen, Holland, where she was born. Dallinga spent subsequent years mostly painting and drawing. In 1989 she came to Canada, where she became interested in working with wool, especially felting – an ancient technique that allows unlimited freedom in the creative process with very limited mechanical intervention. She started teaching felting, and her work came to the notice of the Cirque du Soleil. This led her to becoming involved in producing exciting and experimental theatrical pieces. There will be three more Creative Spark lectures in October and one in November.

The house concert series hosted by the Dorner/Sullivan family near Maberly begins its season this fall with a concert on Friday, Sept. 24 by Kate Weekes. She is a former Smiths Falls and Perth resident, who is now making a name for herself as a singersongwriter based in the Yukon. The family has known Weekes since she was a child, when she was a piano student of Kathleen Dorner’s in the 1980s. Many years later, the whole family was charmed and enthused by Weekes’ performance at the Blue Skies Music Festival, and particularly by her self-titled CD. Her songs are powerful expressions of the relationship between Canada’s geography and what it means to be an artist in this country. They also have a habit of reverberating in one’s memory long after the concert is over or the CD has ended. You may have seen Weekes busking outside of your local liquor store a few years ago as she was saving up to head out on a cross-country, hitch-hiking adventure that led her to the Yukon. Now calling the Yukon home, she has spent the last few years canoeing, dog sledding, and becoming an established musician and songwriter. Weekes released her debut, self-titled album in 2007, and has received national airplay, toured across Canada, and had the opportunity to showcase her talents at the Western Canadian Music Awards & Showcase.
She is the recipient of the 2007 Beth Ferguson Award and has performed at folk festivals in both the Yukon and Ontario including Blue Skies Music Festival, the Ottawa Folk Festival and the Festival of Friends in Hamilton. In 2007, Weekes had the honour of performing at a reception for the Governor General during her visit to Whitehorse. While her songs are often introspective, they are rich in story and capture glimpses of varied lifestyles. In 2007, the album “Kate Weekes” received the Mac Beattie Award as part of the Porcupine Awards, for being “quintessentially Canadian”. Weekes’ new album reflects her joy of life and determination to question her own motives. Weekes’s appearance at Shakey Acres (in Bennett Lake Estates) will begin at 8 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 24. Tickets are available in advance at Shadowfax in Perth, the Nature Lover’s Bookstore in Lanark, the Sharbot Lake Pharmacy, or at 121 Meadow Lane Court (Shakey Acres). For more information, or to reserve tickets, phone 613-268-2376 or email: shakeyacres@hotmail.com.

Audition call for Orion’s The Full Monty in their lives – including two wives, an ex-wife, a girlfriend, and a no-nonsense piano player. It’s a big, fat musical about guys getting naked on the surface, but at its core, it is a smart show about body image – in particular, inverting the traditional roles and having the guys fret about their images for a change. Above all, it is a show about friendship, marriage, and enduring love. This is a hilarious show with great music – upbeat and jazzy, with the odd tender ballad thrown in. The producers are looking for approximately 10 to 12 male and eight to 10 female actors. There are a wide variety of opportunities in this show in terms of age (youngest role is a 12-year-old boy, and the oldest is age 50 to 60; most are “middleaged”), and there are both singing and non-singing roles. Pre-registration and preparation of a scene and a song from the show are required. To register and request an audition package, contact the producers at myriad@ storm.ca or 613-267-9610.

The season kicks off in October with an Evening of One-Act Plays: the comedy “My Narrator” by popular Canadian playwright, Norm Foster, and “The Last Act is a Solo,” a drama by Robert Anderson. Christmas brings Mary Chase’s whimsical, heart-warming comedy, “Harvey”, followed in February by the suspense thriller, “I’ll be Back Before Midnight” by Peter Colley. Spring brings another comedy, “You Say Tomatoes” by Bernard Slade, and finally, winding up the season, “Rabbit Hole”, the Pulitzer Prize winning drama by
David Lindsay-Abaire. Directors include such accomplished veterans as David Parry (The Importance of Being Earnest), Jeremy Dutton (The Affections of May), Joan Sonnenburg (Laura) and Norma Cummings. (Roman Fever) The cost for a season pass is $75, only $15 per ticket for some of the best theatre in the area. Tickets can be purchased in person at Tickets Please (39 Foster St.) or by phone at 613-4856434 (a convenience fee applies).

Orion Theatre Company has just announced its 2011 production of the hit musical, The Full Monty, and will be holding auditions at the Myriad Centre for the Arts in Perth starting at 7 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 27. The Full Monty tells the story of six ordinary working guys who have been laid off from the local factory in depressed Buffalo, N.Y. and are desperate to gain back some sense of self-respect. They’ll do anything to avoid working at the mall … they think. While shocked at the spectacle of the local women flocking to a Chippendales-style male strip show, Jerry comes up with the idea of putting together a show of his own, with his pal Dave (whose wife, Georgie, organized the gals’ event), and anyone else he can convince to join them. The idea of going “the full monty,” (British slang for total nudity) occurs to Jerry later, out of desperation to attract enough women to make the venture a success. While the plot is driven by the men’s economic plight and their bare-it-all solution, it is also the tale of the strength of the women

Drummond House, Stone Cellar and Classic Theatre Showcase Perth!! (Testimonial received through Bed and Breakfast Canada) August 31, 2010 We were lucky enough to win our overnight stay at The Drummond House through the CHUM Radio auction. Believe me we were not disappointed! Pat and Dave were wonderful hosts that made us feel very welcome and at home. The room was just fabulous and comfortable, and the use of the pool and hot tub really was a highlight of our night away! Our breakfast was nothing short of gourmet (I was sure to tell my husband to not expect the same presentation at home! LOL) We attended a local play (fabulous!), and had an amazing dinner at The Stone Cellar (amazing as well!) All and all a wonderful trip to Perth and will be definitely recommending The Drummond House to friends and family! 5 Stars for sure! Thank you again Pat and Dave!

BUSINESS OF THE MONTH Wolfe Spring Golf & Waterfront Resort, Westport, Ontario (written and submitted by Wolfe Spring Golf & Waterfront Resort)
While almost everyone has dreamed of owning a family cottage, that dream hasn’t yet come true for many of us. Regardless of whether we have been put off by the everrising cost of recreational real estate, our increasingly hectic lifestyles, or the overwhelming workload that comes with owning a second property, we all have our reasons for not yet making the leap. A new development near Westport hopes to encourage all of us to revive our dreams of cottage ownership. Wolfe Springs Golf & Waterfront Resort is a four-season resort offering shared ownership of luxury vacation villas. This arrangement offers an ideal opportunity to optimize what you’re getting out of property ownership while minimizing what you have to put in. Buyers are able to obtain shared ownership rights at a small percentage of the price of full ownership. Unlike a time-share, Fractional Ownership enables buyers to enjoy a vacation property and have a life-long personal ownership stake in a piece of premium waterfront real estate. Once purchased, the intervals are yours to keep forever. They can be passed down through future generations or sold at your discretion. Wolfe Springs is conveniently nestled in the heart of the sought after Rideau Lakes Region with the lush links of Evergreen Golf Course and the pristine waters of Wolfe Lake right on either doorstep. Just 5 short minutes from the charming village of Westport, real estate professionals admit that you would be hard pressed to find a better location for a luxury Fractional Ownership development. While some have taken interest in the financial investment potential that this form of ownership offers, it is the investment in a balanced and healthy lifestyle that makes sense for everyone. It provides the perfect opportunity to spend quality time with your family and friends while securing an affordable equity stake in the dwindling supply of our country’s remaining waterfront real estate. Buyers of all ages are coming to understand the benefits offered by this form of ownership and are realizing that this “alternate route” to the cottage makes a lot of sense. Open your mind to new possibilities…then sit back, relax and watch your investment grow! www.LifestyleAwaits.com 1-877-384-4477

Recent local draw winners
Stamp club meetings resume in September at McMartin House BY GUS QUATTROCCHI The stamp club is prepared to resume their meetings in September, which are held on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month at 7:30 p.m. in McMartin House on Gore Street East in Perth.
The club is composed of both men and women interested in furthering their knowledge of philately, as stamp collecting is called. All of our meetings are an educational experience, where members can talk about and show stamps, each taking a turn at a chosen meeting if they desire,
with the schedules made up twice a year. We know that there are a lot of collectors in the area, but they seem to be too shy to admit it or to come out and try to improve their knowledge. There is more to the hobby than just placing stamps in an album, -
Recent winners in the Knights papers, tagging, perforations, of Columbus 150 Club include: Week 22: Glenn Ireton and meters, covers, postal history, revenues and a lot more. If you Marion Morrow Week 23: Laurie Schroeder and are a collector or interested in learning more attend a meeting, George St-Denis Week 24: Fred Pierman and they are free. Norma Jean Cameron Week 25: Dan Mahon and Submitted by the Perth Stamp Cheryl Dermann. Club.
