Candidates talk economic development at debate BY LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@perthcourier.com

“Economic development” was the song sung by a chorus of candidates during a pre-election debate in Perth on Monday. All eight candidates vying for five seats on council – including all five incumbents – highlighted the need for an increased focus on drawing new businesses and residential development to the town. Incumbent councillor Judy Brown was the first to propose that the town should look at devoting a full-time staff person Twelve candidates will vye for to economic development, a statesix seats on Lanark Highlands ment that was echoed by other Township council on Oct. 25. 3 candidates, including current

LH candidates

councillors Eric Devlin; Beth Peterkin; Ed McPherson and Bill White, who named it his numberone priority; newcomers Jim Boldt and Jim Graff. The town’s director of community services, Shellee Evans, is currently responsible for both economic development and parks and recreation. Peterkin said economic development is a “very urgent” issue. “We need to balance it with growth so it can carry some of the tax burden,” Peterkin said. Boldt, running on a fiscally conservative mandate, said he would look forward to working with a new economic development officer, saying “We can’t move forward without the right tools.”

“It’s a great idea, but where does the money come from?” White asked. McPherson said there could be a possibility of shuffling existing parks-and-recreation staff to give them more responsibility and free up the economic development officer to focus on that task.

Candidates split on tourism When panelist Laurel Smith, artistic producer of Perth’s Classic Theatre Festival, posed a question about the candidates’ stances on the importance of tourism, views differed. Graff said it is “hard to find any fault” in what the town already has to offer and does to promote tourism.

Devlin said the Perth and District Chamber of Commerce (which hosted the debate in conjunction with The Perth Courier) gets a grant from the town in order to support tourism, and that the group is doing a good job. Attractions like the Perth Museum draw tourists to the town, Devlin said. “We know how beautiful our town is,” Brown said. “Our next step is to let other people know what a beautiful town it is.” Boldt agreed that Perth has a lot to offer, and repeated that “it all boils down to economic development.” Perth’s “unique, eclectic shops are what make it a destination,” See ‘Candidates talk’, Pg. 3

Expanded Perth Medical Centre re-opens BY LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@perthcourier.com Doctors and hospital officials welcomed visitors to the newly re-opened Perth Medical Centre on Friday. The clinic, which currently houses four physicians, was closed over the summer as it underwent massive renovations. The new clinic has additional space for twice as many doctors. There are additional examination and consulting rooms that will allow eight physicians to work at the clinic, making it a turnkey operation that the hospital hopes will attract new doctors to the area. “This reinforces our ability to retain staff and attract new physicians,” said Todd Stepanuik, president and CEO of the Perth and Smiths Falls Dis-

Perth and area residents will have a rare opportunity to donate stem cells during a special OneMatch clinic this Thursday. As part of the Canadian Blood Services blood drive on Thursday, Oct. 7, people will have a chance to learn more about the process of donating stem cells. There are 742 patients waiting for a stem-cell match in Canada, but unlike blood-type matches, only 30 per cent of those waiting for a donor will be compatible with a family member. One patient waiting for a match is five-and-a-half-month-old Nathanial Lupton, the nephew of Perth resident Laura Weekes. She wanted to help organize the OneMatch clinic as a way to inform more people about the difference they could make in lives like Nathanial’s. Lupton was diagnosed with Wiskott Aldrich Syndrome, a genetic disease that leads to bone marrow failure. He receives weekly platelet and red-blood cell transfusions, and his only hope

of recovering is to receive a stem cell/bone marrow transplant. “Our family is hoping that one generous Canadian will be a bone-marrow match for Nathanial and will be able to save his life,” Weekes wrote in an email. “In return, we are trying to raise awareness of the need for donors in Canada and hopefully save the lives of other Canadians.” Bone marrow is rich in stem cells, but part of the awareness campaign is to let people know that stem cells can be obtained in new and less intrusive ways, thanks to improvements in medicine, Weekes said. More information about the donation process will be available at the OneMatch clinic, which will run from 1 to 7 p.m. alongside the blood donor clinic at the Perth Civitan Hall on Cty. Rd. 43 (Craig Street). For more information about OneMatch, visit www.onematch. ca. The blood donor clinic will take place from 1:30 to 7:30 p.m. Call 1-888-2-DONATE to book an appointment or visit www.blood. ca.

trict Hospital. Larry Sparks, chair of the hospital board, said doctors are vital to the functioning of the community, and the clinic will play a role in that. The $600,000 renovation took a “delapitated building ravaged by age” and transformed it into a bright, vibrant space, Stepanuik said. Seventy-five per cent of the cost of the renovation was covered by Rexall, which has a pharmacy on site. Angelo Farneti, divisional vice-president of operations for Rexall, presented the hospital with a cheque for $450,000. Work completed on the clinic, which is attached to the Perth site of the hospital, includes: new layout, flooring, lighting, paint, millwork, an upgraded HVAC A view of the bright new clinic, which features skylights. system and roof.

Hospital gets $1.3 million to maintain new wing

BY PERTH COURIER STAFF

An annual $1.3-million infusion of cash will help ensure the new hospital wing in Smiths Falls is running smoothly. The funding will support ongoing utility and equipment costs associated with the new 50,000 square foot wing of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital. The money was allocated to the Smiths Falls site through the Post Construction

Operating Plan (PCOP) program of the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. “This is recognizing that we need financial sustainability,” said Larry Sparks, chair of the PSFDH board. The funding is part of the South East Local Health Integration Network’s (LHIN) commitment to “review and adjust PCOP funding levels based on the hospital’s evolving experience in serving residents and patients,”

stated a press release sent by the LHIN. Construction on the new hospital wing began in September of 2008 and cost $43 million. The wing opened in May and contains a new dialysis unit, CT-scan unit, four ultrasound rooms, dedicated scope rooms, a larger lab area, four maternity birth rooms and three operating rooms. The annual operating budget for the PSFDH is $45 million.

Dignity House’s board says it is now or never if residents of Lanark County would like to see a residential hospice in the community. “Please speak with your dollars,” Scanlon said, encouraging people who support a residential hospice to consider donating to the cause. Dignity House is a registered incorporated charity. If each household in Lanark County gave $2 towards the residential hospice initiative, Dignity

House would have enough money to open the hospice and keep it running with four beds for one year, the group said. To celebrate World Hospice Day, Dignity House will have a booth at the Perth Farmers’ market on Saturday, Oct. 9 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., where visitors can find information about hospices. The group will also be selling used books and other items as a fundraiser. A gala banquet is being planned as a fundraiser in the new year. In Bancroft, volunteers managed to raise $200,000 from the community of 3,500 people in just four months. While the Perth-based group doesn’t expect to replicate quite that level of success, Dignity House is hoping to raise $300,000 by December of 2011.

Candidates talk economic Boldt said. McPherson agreed that economic development and tourism promotion go hand in hand, and that re-dedicating a town staff person to work on those issues will be important in the next term. New events such as a bicycle rodeo and a motorcycle rally would also draw people to Perth, McPherson said. White said that working with shops to create standard hours of business would go a long way to encouraging tourism. A new regional tourism body could mean new grants for Perth in the future, Peterkin said, and a movement to designate downtown Perth as a heritage district would also be a good promotional tool.

Making the town grow When posed a question about what capital projects the candidates would like to see the town accomplish in the next term, many candidates spoke instead about residential, commercial and industrial development in the town. McPherson said the town has facilitated development planning for new residential areas (par-

ticularly north of Highway 7), and now it is time to put pressure on developers to move faster and actually get shovels into the ground. “Let’s make the Town of Perth grow,” McPherson said. Peterkin said the town should focus on plans for Highway 7 and the Wilson Street gateway into Perth, which will happen in conjunction with the Ministry of Transportation reconstructing the Perth section of Highway 7. Graff said the town needs to promote its industrial park on South Street/Scotch Line in order to sell lots at the town-owned property. The ongoing need for a bypass road to divert truck traffic from Highway 7 to County Road 43, around the downtown, was echoed by Peterkin, Brown, Boldt and newcomer Kelly Lowry. Municipal elections take place on Oct. 25; however, the election period begins on Oct. 18. In Perth and Tay Valley Township, voters will receive a personal identification number in the mail that will allow them to vote 24/7 online or by phone beginning Oct. 18.

LCT keeps trucking into the fall BY PATRICIA LONERGAN patricia.lonergan@metroland.com The Lanark Community Transit Board has decided it will continue to operate throughout the fall season, with reassurances from Autobus Galland that it will continue to provide service in for 2010. “We’re fully behind what we do,” said Cliff Neudorf, president of LCT. News of continued operations comes after the Town of Carleton Place refused a request to increase a loan guarantee for LCT. Councillors were told LCT, which runs commuter buses from Carleton Place to Ottawa and back, did not have enough money left from its $120,000 loan to pay its August bill. According to a financial statement circulated to councillors in early September, LCT is facing a net loss of $130,246. Carleton Place councillors agreed to continue to honour the $120,000 loan guarantee and release what’s left of the $40,000 grant for LCT. Neudorf, meanwhile, indicated LCT is not in a situation where he’d say they’ve exhausted the money available. Funding is in place, he said, and the organization will move forward with that. Autobus Galland has also made a public commitment to continue its operations as LCT’s service provider. In a paid advertisement, the transportation business said, “Ridership is growing, and we are pleased to say ‘our service with LCT is guaranteed for 2010.’” Meanwhile, LCT is hiking the cost of adult monthly passes to $290 from $260 starting in October. Neudorf indicated they are increasing fares to help move the organization into a break-even position sooner than existing fares would allow. The service will continue to operate at a loss until ridership reaches a break-even point. Neudorf noted that is expected and has been taken into account in the business plan. “The objective is to have a viable organization going forward,”

he said. Neudorf added that ridership is developing in accordance with the organization’s business plan, with an average of 80 seats sold per day this month. Continued ridership increases in the fall are expected to bring the operation closer to the break-even point, if not out of an operating loss position, he indicated. Neudorf said LCT is proving itself to be a vital part of the Carleton Place community, with over 20 students making use of the service. Students who would otherwise spend money in Ottawa are choosing to invest in Carleton Place, he continued. He estimated those students are putting about $176,000 per year into the local economy. Students, who get a reduced rate, are currently subsidized by about $160 by the non-profit organization and its regular commuters, Neudorf said, noting there’s an opportunity for Carleton Place to subsidize student fares. In a letter recently sent out to all candidates in Lanark County and Smiths Falls, Neudorf asked their position regarding the use of taxpayer funds to subsidize student fares. “In the interest of fairness and in the interest of assuring that these students will continue their studies, LCT suggests that your municipality should step up to the plate and subsidize the fare of those students from your municipality who are full-time students and who are utilizing LCT services for transit to postsecondary schools in Ottawa,” Neudorf wrote. “As an individual running for public office, could you kindly advise LCT and the public…where you personally stand with respect to using tax dollars to subsidize student transit fares?” Meanwhile, LCT is working with Smiths Falls to define a route and bring service to that area. “It’s very close to being initiated,” Neudorf said, adding that the inclusion of as many municipalities as possible will help make the commuter service viable.

Work crews widen a hole that formed on Bolingbroke Road (County Road 36) after heavy rains caused a beaver dam to fail, flooding the culvert. Fred Barrett photo

Beaver dam causes road washout BY LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@perthcourier.com A section of Bolingbroke Road (Cty. Rd. 36) was completely washed out after a beaver dam gave way to a flood of water on Thursday, Sept. 30. “I haven’t seen something of this magnitude in the 12 years I have been here,” said Steve Allan, Lanark County director of public works.

Crews worked to fix up the road and one lane of traffic had reopened by the end of the day. “Asphalt will be replaced in a couple of weeks after things have a chance to settle,” said Sharon Roberts, who is with the County of Lanark. A vehicle driving over the section of road caused the pavement to collapse, leaving a whole 10 feet wide by 10 feet deep, Allan said. Traffic is being diverted at Hwy.

7 and Hannah Road. Signs and county public works employees are directing non-local traffic to take a detour on Cameron Sideroad. Allan said a high level of rainfall likely contributed to a nearby beaver dam giving way, which led to flooding and debris blocking the culvert and the eventual collapse of the road at around 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, Sept. 30.

Missing people found BY PERTH COURIER STAFF A man and a woman who were separately reported missing in the Perth area recently were both located. On Tuesday, Sept. 29, OPP requested the public’s help finding 25-year-old Natacha Young of Sharbot Lake, who was reported as missing since Sept. 17. Young

came to the crime unit at the Lanark County OPP detachment and spoke to officers, and the investigation and matter are now closed. Police also asked for the public’s help finding a 54-year-old Lanark Highlands man who was reported missing on Sunday, Sept. 26 after he become separated from a group of friends several

hours earlier in thick bush near Bow Lake around 7:30 p.m. Police did not release the man’s name. OPP conducted an overnight search using helicopter and canine units. He was found Monday morning before 9 a.m. with an injured ankle and was to be transported to hospital in Perth.

Trustee candidates spar over arts education BY LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@perthcourier.com For the first time in 10 years, a contender has come forward to challenge Bill MacPherson for the role of Upper Canada District School Board trustee. In Perth on Monday night, that challenger, Stephen Day, and MacPherson traded barbs over issues such as arts education during an all-candidates debate. MacPherson has spent 10 years as the trustee for Ward 2, which includes public schools in Drummond/North Elmsley, Lanark Highlands, Perth and Tay Valley Township. While Day bemoaned cutbacks to arts funding and an inconsistency in the delivery of arts (particularly music) programming in schools, MacPherson defended the board’s record on arts funding and reiterated his position that arts education can be integrated with other subjects. “When we were looking at potential cuts, arts was on the table. We chose not to cut it,” MacPherson said. Day countered that the board has not supported arts programs and the decisions made by the board have led to arts programs and dedicated arts teachers being cut back. A question from the audience prompted further debate on the topic of arts education, which became a hot topic last year after parents at Glen Tay Public School in Tay Valley Township became upset when the school reduced dedicated music education hours to make up for increased French time (the board harmonized the amount of French education across the board). Day said his children attend

Glen Tay and he was upset at the changes that reduced music education. He blamed it on the “idea of cookie cutter schools.” Day said he would make arts a priority at the trustee level and he would bring that idea to the board table. “What happens at the school level is up to the school,” MacPherson said. He said that schools in Lanark County were teaching the lowest number of French hours of any schools in Ontario, so harmonizing the amount of French education made sense. Day said that it is essential for trustees to attend parent council meetings at each school he/she represents and appearing at community events is also important. “You need to make sure you’re visible and talk to parents … so you can anticipate issues before they become a problem,” Day said. MacPherson said that as trustee, he makes a point of going around to all the parent councils and municipal councils in his ward, “and not just when there is a fire to put out,” he added. He highlighted his abilities as a proactive facilitator of information sharing. “I am a hands-on trustee,” MacPherson said. Looking to issues the board will face in the future, MacPherson said declining enrollment is one issue that never goes away. The solution is to attract foreign students, which the UCDSB has been proactively doing in China, MacPherson said. The board also needs to “get creative” at budget time to balance local needs against provincially determined funding, MacPherson said. Day said the top issue coming

up during the next term will be the chronic underfunding of schools. He proposed looking at cuts at the board office to find savings, instead of cutting programs such as special education. “We’ve got to get back to the basics,” Day said, adding that quality education for children is where it begins. Day said he will hold the school board answerable and accountable for decisions that are made and assured voters

that he will “not become part of (the school board’s) bloated bureaucracy in Brockville.” “I am someone who will be a true community representative, much better than you’re currently getting,” Day said. MacPherson highlighted the board’s statistics as a sign of success: a 65 per cent capture rate for students in Lanark County (the rate is 52 per cent across the UCDSB), a graduation rate that is higher than 80 per

cent, and consistently high EQAO (Education, Quality and Accountability Office) test results. One of his greatest successes, MacPherson said, was getting The Stewart School built in Perth, a success he hopes to repeat by participating in the construction of a new Perth and District Collegiate Institute in the next term. The municipal election, include the trustee vote, takes place on Oct. 25.

COLLISION ON CRAIG One car was badly damaged in a collision at Drummond and Craig streets at around 1 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 29. It was one of three collisions on Wednesday that prompted the Perth Police Service to send out a reminder to drivers to be patient during Wilson Street construction. Two other collisions happened in the congested area on Drummond Street between Isabella and Harris streets on Wednesday. Laura Mueller photo

Attention shutterbugs: Perth photo contest now underway If you’re an aspiring shutterbug with an eye for catchy photos, now is your chance to have your work published on the cover of a local visitor guide that will be seen by tens of thousands of people across the province. The Perth Courier, in conjunction with the Perth & District Chamber of Commerce, is sponsoring a photography contest with the top photo earning the coveted cover shot on the Chamber’s 2011 annual visitor guide. The contest opens today and runs until Oct. 29. The photos must depict life in Perth and area, illustrating the region from the perspective of the photographer. In other words, how do you see the beautiful area you call home and how would you convince someone to visit based on that one photo? Is it a beautiful fall landscape? Is it a unique look at the buildings in our historic downtown? Is it kids playing in Stewart Park? Or a peaceful canoe trip across the water? Only you can answer that question with your camera. Entries must be emailed to photocontest@perthcourier.com prior to the deadline of 5 p.m. on Oct. 29. The photo should be no larger than 5 MB when emailed, however, please keep a raw image of the photo as the winner will be asked to submit that shot on a CD. It needs to be high resolution because it will be the cover shot on the next visitor guide. As well, the winning photographer will receive $350 in gift certificates to local businesses. But it’s not only the first place winner that has a chance to have his or her work published. Other photos may appear in the guide, along with full photo credit. If you take time to enter the contest, you are eligible for a randomly drawn prize of $150 in gift certificates. All you have to do is snap a photo and submit it. It’s that easy.

EDITORIAL OUR OPINION

Candidates need to stoke the fire

n all-candidates meeting on Monday night provided the perfect venue to meet local people who have thrown their hats into the ring for the Oct. 25 municipal election. While all eight council candidates and both school-board trustee candidates were present, the same could not be said for the residents of the town. The approximately 600 seats at the Mason Auditorium at Perth and District Collegiate Institute were not well-used by the 100 or so people in attendance – a venue whose size alludes to a more idealist view of municipal political involvement in Perth. Other local debates in the past week have drawn more then 200 people each, including debates in Smiths Falls and Montague. To be sure, the election in Perth is one of the most staid in the area. With no race for the mayor or deputy mayor’s seat, it seems that people are even less engaged than normal. But residents must remember that each council member’s vote carries equal weight, whether they are the mayor or a brand new councillor. While the mayor may set the agenda and provide leadership, decisions made by council are made democratically, with each councillor equally involved and responsible for the decisions made. While there was not a large turnout for council nominations in Perth, there are three newcomers who are vying for your vote, in addition to all five incumbents – and even one new face on council could mean a big change in a small town like Perth. So being engaged in the political discourse surrounding this election should be no less important than if there were 18 candidates. But it’s difficult to blame the public for not being engaged when the candidates themselves seem slightly underprepared or uninterested. Vague, sweeping grandstanding statements with little factual basis do not provide substantial fodder with which to truly address issues. Thoughtful, forward-thinking responses are needed. For instance, a panelist’s question about each candidate’s views on the role tourism plays in Perth elicited lackluster responses. While all candidates seemed keen to take up the torch of economic development, repeating the phrase many times with only a few glimmers of an actual plan, only a couple of candidates appeared to have put any thought into what role tourism could and should play in economic development. For a platform plank that got a lot of play, the focus on economic development was somewhat shallow and shortsighted. Electors in Perth deserve representatives who are truly immersed in the issues and thinking about ways to improve the town. But the media and the citizens themselves also share the responsibility of putting pressure on candidates to show them that yes, we do need Dear Editor: them to prove themselves.

Gotta go – my mom’s waiting S

ome women turn to medicine cabinets, beauty parlours or spas when they feel the passage of time taking its toll. Fancy lotions, anti-wrinkle regimes, diet and exercise plans, even psychotherapy – there are lots of things we can do to help us feel younger. I have a different plan. It’s a little complicated, but it might save you a few dollars. Here’s how it works. First you make arrangements for your husband to get a new full-time job in the city that requires him to commute every day. (Hurray! He’s not working from home any more!) The next step is to stop, scratch your chin and say, “Hm. We only have one vehicle and we aren’t quite sure whether we are prepared to buy a second car.” Then you hoof it all over town as much as you can. You get blisters when necessary, just to remind yourself about how good you are being by walking everywhere – even when not wearing appropriate footwear. Here’s the clincher, though. The thing that truly makes you feel young again is bumming rides from your parents. Yes, it has come to this. My mommy and daddy give me rides to and from Algonquin College (where I teach part-time) a few times a week. I bum a ride home from a friend on one of those days. I figure it gives my parents a little break so they don’t disown me. Sometimes I borrow their van or my in-laws’ car and sometimes even my friend’s van for far-off appointments or errands requiring copious amounts of baggage or to transport children longer distances. Occasionally

mean two cars but ANY cars. They have thrown off the chains of monthly payments, insurance and maintenance costs and the need for a bigger driveway. (Anyone who has seen our driveway knows there is barely room for one vehicle, let alone two. Vertical parking, anyone?) I really would like to be one of those people who doesn’t rely on a car. Sometimes I think it might be possible. I also want to be stricter about screen time for my children, eat nothing but a 100-mile diet, use only all-natural cleaners, never use my dryer, become a Past Deadline role model for exercise and, of course, save the world, but I seem to be much better at preaching I beg rides from other friends than practising.

Mayor back from the rock Too generous with tax dollars Dear Editor: Re: “McPherson offers Fenik helping hand to Newfoundland,” The Perth Courier, Sept. 30. Although this article was not funny, I had to laugh when I read about the generosity of Coun. Ed McPherson to pay for another trip for our mayor with money from his travel budget. When I sat on council, any unspent money from any budget was applied towards a year end surplus. What a concept. It is unfortunate that we have a council that has so many long service members that they start to believe that the tax dollars are their own. I am sure that Mr. McPherson would not have been as generous handing over his own money to finance this trip. Mr. McPherson, I for one do not see you as such a nice guy for

spending the town’s tax money so freely. It seems that our mayor believes that he has become more important than the position he holds. Please remember that the Town of Perth has less population and a much smaller geographical area than most of our surrounding townships. Let me remind you, Mayor Fenik, that the monies that you seem to have so little respect for come from property taxes and from the pockets of many families who earn far less than the amount that you pulled in this past year as mayor. Mr. Mayor, I would suggest that you should take some time to learn about operating within a budget. I guess that there is little need to do so when you have a council that increases your pay

Tantrums not welcome at council Dear Editor: I read both Brian Lillico’s letter in The Perth Courier regarding councillors Peter McLaren and Brian Stewart walking out of a Lanark Highlands council meeting during the singing of our National anthem (“Lack of respect for council, anthem,” Sept. 30.) Apparently this was done because they didn’t agree with the recently passed procedural

bylaw. These men don’t seem to understand the democratic process in which they are involved. In a democracy the wishes of the majority carry the day until such time as they are persuaded otherwise. Their behaviour is the kind one expects to see in the playground when a child tantrums because they don’t like the way the game is going. At a time when young Canadian men and women are

It’s that time of year T

here are good and bad things about this time of the year. In late September I celebrated my 81st birthday – although whether this counts as good (hooray its my birthday!) or bad (yikes, the end is drawing nearer) is a moot point. But since it was also our 53rd wedding anniversary, let’s look on the bright side: dear husb and I are still putting up with each other and both, so far, are in reasonable health. I say “reasonable” because, unlike some of my contemporaries, I refuse to dwell on all the lesser aches and pains we deal with on an all-too-regular basis as we grow older. So let’s concentrate on life’s brighter side. All around us the trees are changing colour: a lovely sight for a fall outing. I often wonder why we see red and gold as beautiful, but not grey clouds – just as we see some faces and some architecture as pleasing

to the eye. It was explained to me in my youth when I asked this question, that the brain likes balance. A Georgian house is a great sight because the door is in the middle, the windows equally spaced on each side –rather like our pioneer stone homes with that distinctive vee above the door, which I’ve always liked. So much so that I designed a rug patterned with rows of these settler homes. It hangs on my basement wall and cheers the place up no end, along with others I’ve designed and hooked in the past. On the not so positive side, I can no longer hook these rugs, partly due to arthritic thumbs and partly because the company that used to supply the yarn no longer does so. But come on now, Bet, back to the sunny side of life… The trees look good to us for whatever reason. And I have just read that our winters will likely

We’ll just have to wait and see if warmer winters are good news or not. I doubt if our heating bills will go down whatever happens so, with this in mind, we’ve just had an energy-saving thermostat fitted in our hallway. It looks quite smart but I can’t say I totally understand the instructions that came with it. Thank goodness for nearest and dearest who is much more savvy about the mechanical side of life. He even understands all those strange computer words like blog and Twitter, which make talking to the younger generation a bit mystifying for some of us oldies.

So no more distinctive sapphire blue – my snow up to our knees, maybe, but please no more rain turning favourite colour. The last time I saw someone off at the airport I to ice.

Municipal Connection www.perth.ca October 3-9 is Ontario Fire Safety Week How many of you bought at least one lottery ticket in the last month? Even though the odds of winning are about one in 14 million, there’s a good chance you or someone you know bought one. How many of you tested your smoke alarms in the last month? Even though the odds of you having a fire in your home are one in ten, there’s a good chance you or someone you know didn’t test the alarms. Despite the odds, when it comes to fire, it’s easy to think it will never happen to you. A recent survey conducted by the Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs found that 48% of Canadians feel they have almost no chance of having a fire in their home. But the fact is fire happens anywhere, anytime. Fire and smoke spread so fast, you can have just seconds to safely escape with your loved ones. Working smoke alarms provide early warning of fire and give you the extra seconds you and your family need to escape. A recent study by the National Institute of Standards and Technology in the U.S. found that working smoke alarms increase your chances of surviving a home fire by 63%. People still think that fire won’t happen to them. All too often, Fire Services crews in Ontario respond to fires in homes with no working smoke alarms. That’s why the Fire Department of the Town of Perth is raising the alarm about smoke alarms once again this year. The theme of this year’s Ontario Fire Prevention Week from October 3rd to 9th is “Smoke Alarms: A Sound You Can Live With.” Following are the top ten things you need to consider about smoke alarms to help keep you and your family safe from fire. 1. Most fire deaths happen at night when everyone is asleep. You can have as little as one minute to escape a fire. If there is no smoke alarm in the proximity of the fire to warn you, it will continue to grow rapidly and spread throughout your home, diminishing the chances of everyone getting out safely. 2. The Ontario Fire Code requires that all homes have working smoke alarms on every storey and outside all sleeping areas. If you don’t have working smoke alarms, the Fire Department has the power to issue a ticket for $235.00 or lay charges that could result in a fine of up to $50,000.00 and/or up to a year in jail.

3. The more smoke alarms you have, the better your odds of survival. The Fire Department recommends that you also consider installing one inside every bedroom. 4. Landlords are responsible for providing and maintaining smoke alarms in their rental properties. If they don’t, they could be fined up to $100,000.00 and/or sentenced to up to a year in jail. 5. Homeowners or tenants can be fined for tampering with or disabling a smoke alarm – and that includes removing the battery. 6. The most common reason for removing batteries is because the alarm operates when you don’t want it to – such as when cooking dinner. We call this a “nuisance alarm.” There are ways to address this that don’t put your life in danger, such as installing a smoke alarm with a hush feature that allows you to temporarily silence it at the push of a button, moving the alarm or installing a photoelectric model. 7. Smoke alarm batteries should be replaced every year or when the smoke alarm starts to chirp, which is a signal that the battery is nearing the end of its life. 8. Smoke alarms should be tested every month, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Be sure to test them if you have been away from your home for more than a few days because the batteries could have expired in your absence. 9. All smoke alarms, whether battery-operated or electrically wired, should be replaced with new ones if they are more than ten years old. 10.

dled by terribly smart women in incredibly high heels. I don’t intend to stop wearing my comfortable flatties but wheeled carry-on luggage will be a lot easier to handle than any on the assorted hold-alls and suitcases we’ve collected over the years. I chose blue because most of the ones I saw were black and I want mine to be distinctive and easy to pick out. I thought about pink but decided at my age, maybe not. No sooner had I wheeled it home and stood back to admire it, than the telephone rang and my best friend out west invited me to her 80th birthday. Quick as a flash, I unzipped the case and folded in one of my favourite nightgowns, then my lightweight traveling slippers. Then I reminded myself I won’t actually be flying to see her for several weeks yet. But it is something to look forward to and we all need that at this time of the year. 419293

One of the heroes of this summer’s Blue Skies festival will make a return visit to the area with a special concert at the McDonalds-Elphin Recreation and Arts (MERA) Schoolhouse at McDonalds Corners on Friday, Oct. 22. Australian troubadour David Ross MacDonald, whose brief set at Blue Skies left the festival audience enthralled, says he wants to “keep the Blue Skies magic alive,” by playing a fulllength concert at a local venue. Those who witnessed it will know what he means by “magic.” It certainly seemed like magic when MacDonald, for his final song, asked that the stage lights be turned off and told the audience to look up at the star-strewn sky. He serenaded them in the darkness with his magnificently understated version of the Australian folk ballad “Waltzing Matilda.” That in itself was magic

enough, but when a shooting star streaked across the sky in the middle of the song, a couple thousand people were totally enchanted. Formerly a drummer with the acclaimed Australian folk group The Waifs, MacDonald’s first solo album, 2003’s Southern Crossing, was a collection of original finger-style guitar instrumentals. The next year’s release, Far From Here, revealed his talents as a singer-songwriter. Acoustic Guitar Magazine likened MacDonald’s vocals, lyrics and intricate finger-style guitar style to “a collaboration between Nick Drake and a mid-1970s Bruce Cockburn.” American Songwriter Magazine called MacDonald “one of those few songwriters … that can captivate his listeners armed only with a voice and guitar.” Such glowing reviews won’t surprise anyone who has heard David Ross MacDonald’s three CDs or seen him perform at international festivals including Australia’s Woodford, Port Fairy,

Apollo Bay and National, as well as Canadian events including the Mariposa, Edmonton, Stan Rogers, Stewart Park, Live from Red Rock and Ness Creek Festivals. Having played with and opened for luminaries such as John Renbourne, Tony McMannus, Kelly Jo Phelps and Chris Smither, Macdonald constantly tours internationally, armed with his 1935 Gibson guitar and a carpet bag of songs that he illuminates in his own inimitably reserved yet intense, poetic style. David Ross MacDonald’s performance at the MERA Schoolhouse in McDonalds Corners will begin at 8 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 22. Tickets are $20 and are available at the door or in advance from Shadowfax (67 Foster St.). For more information, contact Danny Sullivan at 613-268-2376 or shakeyacres@hotmail.com.

The Blue Skies Community Fiddle Orchestra has been practising and performing together for 11 years under the direction of founder Carolyn Stewart. The concept of this orchestra grew from a respect for the place of the fiddle in the heritage and culture of this area and a dedication to the continuation of that tradition in an enjoyable, yet educational atmosphere. This all-ages group of fiddle, mandolin, guitar, penny whistle, bass and piano players meets every Saturday at the Maberly Hall. Over the years, one orchestra has become three. In order to sustain this vibrant community of musicians, Stewart has brought on board her long-standing student Cindy McCall to work with the preparatory orchestra. McCall has taught fiddle for 10 years and studied at the Gaelic College in Cape Breton with such fiddling luminaries as Ali Bennett, Eddie Rogers, and others. McCall says that she feels

Here, they can familiarize themselves with the repertoire of the Blue Skies Ccommunity Fiddling Orchestra at a learning speed and experience working with other instruments and a conductor.

A drummer with groove and grace

guess you call them coincidences. Some read into things a bit deeper than others looking for meaning. All I know is one of these coincidences happened to me recently. While touring around the MusicWestport, I had just left a classy concert by Brock Zeman, Blair Hogan and Keith Glass and strolled around the corner, seeking out Rueben deGroot, who I’d been impressed with at the Elphin Roots Festival and looked forward to catching again. As I arrived, they had just kicked off a great rendition of “Dixie Chicken,” a Little Feat standard. I moseyed over to see my friend Chuck Gobeil, who was running the sound board and shared my delight at their choice of the tune. He stepped back and indicated Rueben had announced before the song that it was in memory of the one and only Ritchie Hayward, drummer

Tourism organization gets funding BY PERTH COURIER STAFF The provincial government recently announced that Regional Tourism Organization 11 (RTO11) is set to receive $1.75 million over the next two years. These funds are part of a larger $40 million province-wide investment in tourism divided proportionally among the province’s 13 newly formed RTOs. Region 11 is comprised of eight existing Destination Marketing Organizations (DMOs), tourism agencies and authorities, including Lanark County Tourism, the Ottawa Valley Tourist Association and the Rideau Heritage Route Tourism Association. “To date, tourism development in our region has depended on municipal funding and membership fees

collected by individual DMOs,” said transition board president Todd Mattila-Hartman. “The $1.75 million in provincial funding is going to provide a tremendous opportunity to tackle larger initiatives we otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford.” An example of one of the first priorities for RTO-11 is the completion of a premier ranked destination framework exercise. According to Nicole Whiting, RTO-11 co-ordinator and RTO11 transition board members, the premier ranked destination project will provide a solid foundation for RTO-11. “There is definite value to conducting this type of exercise. But until now, these types of initiatives were cost prohibitive,” Whiting said.

at our camp after work on that day and as we sat around the campfire that evening, I put on a fabulous Canadian CD called 2B3, produced by Lance Anderson, one of Canada’s Hammond B3 organ legendary players. On it are a host of Canadian who’swho B3 players like Lance, Denis Keldie, Michael Fonfara, Rob Gusevs, the late Doug Riley, the late Richard Bell, all joined by Bill Payne, Little Feat’s B3 player and another co-founder, with none other than Ritchie Hayward playing drums throughout. I remember specifically pointing out to my family that night just how amazing his drumming abilities were. You need to know that Little Feat is one of my favourite bands and, as it happened, of all players to be singling out on the day he died, there I was, enjoying Ritchie. Little Feat started in 1969 in Los Angeles, CA, headed by guitarist Lowell George. Band founders Lowell, Ritchie and Bill created their own sound blending rock, blues, R&B, folk, country, jazz and funk in their own unique way with Ritchie keeping their innovative beat and Lowell constantly impressing with his slide guitar prowess. Ritchie talked of the previously mentioned styles being his influences but then he found New Orleans and it loosened up his whole style of play. They toured worldwide until Lowell George

died suddenly in 1979 of a heart attack, at age 34, on a solo tour and Little Feat broke up. The group formed again in 1987, with vocals by Craig Fuller until 1993 when Shaun Murphy, a former background singer took the lead. Paul Barrere and Fred Tackett have been perennial guitarists, with Sam Clayton on percussion and Kenny Gradney on bass. For some of their live recorded concerts they add a horn section that further stretches their great sound. I’m indebted to my brother Drew for turning me on to Little Feat, back in the 1970s. I’ve seen them many times over the years, though never with Lowell. I was lucky enough to have met the band in Ottawa twice and for a group who are on the road for well more than 250 days a year for the past 20 years, they were remarkably sane. I had arranged to meet Bill Payne to get him to sign my 2B3 CD and he quickly brought over Ritchie, pointing out how he had been the drummer for the sessions. Ritchie was a true gentleman, taking the time to listen to me babble on, actually listening to the point of gaining clarification through questions – a classy guy. They wished me a happy birthday during the show and dedicated “Old Folks Boogie” in my honour. Upon returning home from the camp, I went online to gather

more details, only to find he has been living in Comox Valley on Vancouver Island. One of our musical friends, Doug Cox, (a master dobro player whose played our house concert four times and is also artistic director of the Island Fest) lives there. I contacted Doug and he graciously sent along a picture I will always cherish, taken by CBC Saturday Night Blues host Holger Petersen, of Ritchie coming off the stage for the last time with his Little Feat family a month or so before he succumbed to liver cancer. Ritchie hadn’t been playing with Feat since 2009 due to his illness, but practised hard for as long as he could. He played last at Doug’s Island Fest, sitting in for the last half of the show and, quoting Doug: “He played his ass off !” Doug also said there were only a handful of people who came out of that scene with as much dignity and respect for others as he did, with heart and discipline, groove and graciousness. That is the legacy of Ritchie Hayward. That was the genius of this man and his talents. Now that you’re finished reading this column, go put some Little Feat on, or Google “Ritchie Hayward” to watch one of his drum solos, and you’ll hear just why he was one of the masters. Thanks for the memories, Ritchie. Support live music everywhere.

Breathe through a straw for 60 seconds. That’s what breathing is like with cystic fibrosis. No wonder so many people with CF stop breathing in their early 30s.

Mushrooms are considered nature’s hidden harvest

Art

BRIGGS-JUDE Outdoors observed devouring mushrooms were of no help in this regard. Modern biologists have discovered that the digestive tracts of these animals allow them to consume harmful fungi with no ill effects. In some instances, it may well have been that the hardier native people were not as easily affected by some of these natural foods as was the case with their more civilized but often allergic white brethren. It is doubtful, however, if any human form could escape the ravages of such toxic specimens as the

commonly called Death Cap (amanita phalloides). Oddly enough, in all the fungus family, the term mushroom is generally applied to those types that are edible and the term toadstool to any that are unpalatable or poisonous. While the 100,000 or so species of fungi are traditionally considered to be plants, in reality they are members of what has been referred to as the “Third Kingdom” because they have no chlorophyll, roots, stems or leaves. What we see and collect is really the fruit of the mushroom because the true fungus or mycellium lies under the surface of the earth. Actually, the gathering of these types of nature’s harvest has been carried on at least since the days of the Roman civilization; however, the myths surrounding the various fungi for their poisonous content were unfortunately not lost in history. Far too many people over the years have been poisoned using a wide variety of traditional but unreliable methods of testing. The placing of a silver spoon or a coin in with the cooking mushrooms was a common practice. Ironically, metallic additions to the cooking pot do

not necessarily turn black if the mushrooms are poisonous. Similarly, the cruel practice of feeding doubtful mushrooms to a cat or dog is useless, as these animals have a different reaction or take longer to react to the fungi poison. Also, boiling will not remove the poisonous properties from lethal mushrooms. Of the many varieties of fungus we find in the woods and fields around us, there are only four kinds that we personally feel safe in harvesting: the inky caps or shaggy manes, the morels, the meadow mushrooms, and the giant puffballs. Of these, the near football-sized puffballs are the most obvious. Taken when they are still firm and pure white, sliced an inch or so thick and butter-fried, they make a delicious changeof-pace meal. Come to think of it, with all of this recent rain and mild weather, these kingsized additions to our autumn landscape should be sprouting up in goodly numbers right now. While reminding you to be sure of what you pick, I’m reminded of an old mushroom collector’s saying: “There are bold mushroom pickers and old mushroom pickers, but there are no old, bold mushroom pickers.”

All persons having claims against the estate of DOROTHY S.D. MOFFATT, late of the Township of Tay Valley, in the County of Lanark, who died on about the 3rd of March 2010, must be ﬁled with the undersigned estate trustees on or before October 30, 2010; thereafter the undersigned will distribute the assets of the said estate, having regard only to the claims then ﬁled. Dated at Perth, Ontario September 23, 2010

uite often at this season of the year, when you are out hunting or just rambling around the countryside, you’ll discover some of nature’s hidden harvest. The appearance of these mysterious life forms, often in places where they were never noticed before, only adds to your general curiosity; small wonder that the early settlers often clung to the beliefs that the circular patterns of the growing mushrooms were the work of forest gnomes. How they explained the location and discovery of giant puffballs, gourmet morels, inky caps, or even dead tree fungi was probably lost in the endeavour to eke out an existence. There is no doubt that our native people passed on their knowledge of the edible kinds of North American fungi to the European arrivals. It is knowledge that must have been handed down from their early civilization, gained by much unfortunate trial and error. Who, for example, informed the nomadic Indian bands about what forms of fungi were safe to eat or what kinds were lethal? Certainly the squirrels and deer that the original inhabitants

Lastly, Canadian mining companies operating abroad are increasingly recognized for practices that harm the environment and do not honour the human rights, health and safety of local workers. Should we be concerned about these companies’ activities at home and abroad and is there anything we can do? After the 7 p.m. social and business elements of the monthly CFUW meeting are completed, Ramsey Hart will speak at 8 p.m. and answer questions from the audience. The meeting will take place at the Royal Canadian Legion Hall (26 Beckwith St. E.). Submitted the Canadian Federation of University Women of Perth and District.

At some point in a homeowner’s life, there comes a time when you consider downsizing. Maybe the kids have moved on and its time to move out of the city to a smaller town, or leave that big house for a smaller bungalow or even abandon land ownership altogether and move into a condo. Quite often, the large vegetable garden plot in the back of your property plays a part in your decision to move, even though you are loathe to quit on the garden you have loved and the home-grown vegetables you have enjoyed for years. Well, go ahead and launch into your new life without regret, because Jeremy Dutton is going to show you how to continue gardening and producing good quality vegetables no matter how small your new “digs” may be. Dutton speaks from experience, since he and his wife Peggy, a

master gardener in her own right, have slowly downsized from largeacreage vegetable gardening to smaller plots and different types of produce. Whether it is supplying fresh produce at the Perth Farmer’s Market or local restaurants like the former Hungry Planet, the Fall River Pub and Grill or the Factory Grind, the Duttons have continued to re-invent themselves through the years by downsizing their garden plots but continuing to be active gardeners. Their gardening includes sharing their expertise in providing courses and workshops in their home and loaning garden plots on their property. Their newest adventure is to promote the development and maintenance of smaller “urban” gardens, including containers, so good quality vegetables can always be on your platter no matter how small you go.

or directly to the Perth Lions Club Hall in Perth on Oct. 30, prior to the bazaar. This bazaar has become a popular event throughout the years, and is one of LAWS major fundraisers each year. Donations and public support allow the LAWS shelter to continue to serve animals. The shelter cares for more than 1,000 animals a year and has for more than 25 years. The shelter is community funded, not government funded. Funds raised at events like the bazaar aid in the care of the animals – including Chinook, an elderly and very overweight Husky, who came to the shelter with a bladder infection and maggots all over his belly. Or China, a tiny grey-and-white kitten brought into the shelter after she was found clinging to a cattail in the swamp near Jasper. For info or how to get involved or to make a donation, visit www.lan-arkanimals.ca, call the shelter at 613-283-9308 or email shelter@lanarkanimals.ca.

Share the bounty with the food bank’s Harvest Campaign Tables at the farmers’ markets in Perth and McDonalds Corners were laden with beautiful local produce and irresistible home baking last Saturday. Many of you are planning a Thanksgiving dinner at which you will share the bounty with family and friends. We have much to be thankful for. And yet this week (and every week), some of our neighbours will walk through the door of the Perth and District Food Bank because they just won’t be able to buy the food they need to make it through the month. Last year, the food bank gave out more than 5,000 emergency food hampers each with a three–day supply of food. Who needs the food bank? You would be surprised. They are people whose disability support allowances simply do not pay for the basic necessities and food. They are seniors who, having worked hard for many years, find themselves with incomes that don’t stretch far enough. They are the single parents who are perhaps the most vulnerable. Forty per cent of the Perth and District Food Bank’s clients are children. The fastest-growing client group at the Perth and District Food Bank, as in all Ontario food banks, is the working poor. This phrase is used to describe people who are working but whose income is still below the poverty line. Many are working at parttime jobs, usually without sick leave or other benefits. The working families who came to the food bank say they can manage when the going is good, but that it doesn’t take much to leave them short: one dental emergency or two new tires for the work vehicle and the budget is blown. In a healthy community, everyone would have enough food, nutritious food every day. Tea and toast is not a healthy meal

for a grandmother. Soup and crackers is not an adequate meal for a child. Mothers should not be skipping meals. We all understand that food is a necessity – a right. No one should go hungry in our community. How can you help? Throughout October, the Perth and District Food Bank will be canvassing for your support as part of its Harvest Campaign. Lynda and Tony Hendriks, former owners of Your Independent Grocer in Perth, are the honourary chairs for the 2010 Harvest Campaign. The campaign is the food bank’s principal fundraising effort. Donations will help the food bank buy food and run its programs. The food bank receives donations of food throughout the year from local grocery stores, school groups, families, churches and clubs, and every can of tuna and jar of peanut butter helps. But, in order to provide emergency food hampers stocked with a wellbalanced selection of nutritious groceries to feed an individual or

family for three days, some food must be purchased. Each household in the area served by the Perth and District Food Bank (the Town of Perth and Drummond/North Elmsley, Lanark Highlands and Tay Valley townships) will receive a brochure with a donation form in the mail before Thanksgiving. Consider donating to the food bank or sponsoring a monthly donation. The completed form can be returned by mail or dropped off at the food bank at 91A Drummond St. W. The food bank is also seeking the support of local businesses, professionals and service clubs. For the third year, the Harvest Campaign kick-off was hosted at the Stone Cellar restaurant by Peter Blier and his partner Jamie Troutman hosted a dinner in their restaurant – the food and staff time were donated. All proceeds from ticket sales will go to the food bank. For more information, contact 613-267-6428. Submitted by the Perth and District Food Bank.

Mixed reaction to core plan

poll of stores situated in the centre of Perth indicates most managers and owners of grocery, convenience and specialty stores have mixed reactions to the development of a grocery store in the downtowncore area. At least one manager foresees the failure of his business if the store slated for the core area is approved. The manager of Henderson’s Red and White, Charles Henderson, said he can see “at least four businesses going by the wayside” when the store is opened. “It’s not only my store that I can see being affected, but two or three or four others as well,” commented Henderson. Henderson said his attempts to reach National Grocers, the owner of the Red and White chain, have been futile. “They won’t even talk to me,” he stated. Other local store owners are also concerned with the situation that will face the small grocery store on Gore Street. The owner of East End Grocers, Sebastian Vanderwaardt, said, “It’s going to go right in Red and White’s backyard.” “Everyone’s business will be hurt a little bit at first because all of the people will want to go to the new store, but business wise it’s really not going to affect me,” stated Vanderwaardt. The owner of The Butchery, Roger Desormeaux, said his first comment on the proposed development was that there wouldn’t be enough parking if the plans

are approved. “It’s really not going to affect me; meat is not quite the same thing,” said Desormeaux. One of the co-owners of the Kitchen Kupboard, Kitty McEwen, said she had mixed feelings about the new store. “I know it’s going to be behind the Red and White and I wouldn’t want to see it hurt Red and White; on the other hand, IGA gets the bulk of the business and I think it would be good to have some competition,” she stated. The manager of the Pinto convenience store, Noel Gagnon, asked if the town needed another grocery store. “There’s one right in front of it and that’ll be hit hard by the new store; he’ll be hurt. Most grocery stores will be affected ... competition is only good to a certain extent,” he related. The owner of the Foodsmiths Store, Don Smith, said it was hard to predict the effects the new store would have on existing businesses. “My personal opinion, if I didn’t operate a food store, would be that they could use that beautiful spot for something other than a food store. Business wise, it could help bring more people into town, and to other businesses ... all businesses, except IGA, could benefit from the store,” he said.

election. Lowell Yorke and Coun. Chuck Montgomery both announced this week they will be candidates for mayor in the election, bringing the number of committed candidates to four. Councillors William Armstrong and Phil Aston announced earlier they would be running for the mayor’s job. Reeve Tony Noonan says he will announce his future political intentions on Oct. 10. In addition, local businessman Brad Kyle announced this week he will be seeking a seat on council. Deputy-Reeve Frank Mahon has announced intentions to run for reeve in the upcoming election. “I feel I can contribute,” commented Montgomery. “After five years (on council) I feel I still have a lot to contribute to the public.” The issues over the next threeyear term of council, says Montgomery, are the downtown core, expropriation, development of the Conlon Farm recreation area and Drummond Street. “I’ve had a lot of people come and offer support,” added Montgomery, who said he will be running a “grassroots campaign.” During the past term of council, Montgomery has been chairman of the finance committee, chairman of the recreational coordinating committee and chairFour-way fight for man of the library board for the mayor’s job past year.

Disappointing turnout at tuberculosis clinics T he meeting of the Lanark County Tuberculosis Association was held at the home of Miss Hilda Cram in Carleton Place last week. Mr. Fergus Kelly, seal sale consultant from O.T.A., was a guest. Under the direction of Mr. J.O. Swan, Christmas seal sale chairman, the 1960 appeal letter was prepared. Mr. Swam stated that, due to the lack of public information shown during the TB survey, the letter should be regarded as an educational medium. The president, Mr. Howard Edwards, stated that 14,104 people were tested for tuberculosis in the recent survey. He said that while this figure represents a 10 per cent increase over the survey in 1955, it is regrettable that 50 per cent of the testable population of Lanark County did not attend the clinics.

Use of natural gas on the rise Every day an average of 20 new customers are installing natural gas equipment in the Ottawa Valley, Ottawa Gas reports. Sales of domestic water-heating gas equipment are three times what they were in the previous year. More than half of the new customers are using gas for more than one purpose — heating and water heating, or for a dryer or for cooking.

C&D Power Corporation, known locally as C&D Batteries, has announced a $1,052,000 expansion to its Perth plant which will mean the creation of 10 to 15 new jobs. The announcement was made by Mayor William Warren at a regular town council meeting last week and confirmed by C&D officials. The company plans to construct a 14,000 square foot addition to its Perth plant. Construction on the new addition is expected to be completed by May of 1986. C&D manufactures batteries for the North American market and currently employs 110 people at the Perth plant. Plant officials said 10 to 15 permanent jobs will be created through the addition. Charging plates for batteries will be manufactured in the new addition. Cornerstone Construction will be the contractor for the addition, and plant officials said local subcontractors will be used as much as possible for the job. The primary thrust of the expansion will be manufacturing

Investigation of house fire The Ontario Fire Marshal’s office has been called in to investigate a fire which broke out in a Beckwith Street home on Monday night. Firefighters were called to 107 Beckwith St. about 9:15 p.m. to quell a fire in the living-room area of the home. Fire officials say actual fire damage was minimal, but that heat was so intense it melted plastic furniture items, including a television set and telephone. Fire officials said the fire was brought under control quickly, but flames could have erupted had quantities of oxygen reached the living room. Perth Police say the fire is under investigation.

on numerous other committees as both member and chairman. Local businessman Yorke says he can offer a different style of effective leadership than the other declared candidates. “I disagree that we are electing a chief executive officer,” says Yorke. “I would rather say that we are electing a mayor who has the style to seek a consensus on the issues rather than lead council in his direction.” Yorke also paid tribute to Mayor William Warren, who is stepping down this year. Yorke has completed six terms as a member of the Perth Public Utilities Commission and has been chairman for the past five years. He said Warren fostered an excellent relationship between the PUC and town council. If elected, says Yorke, “I’ll give my opinion on most things, but I am only one member of council and we have to work together as a team.”

Lucky number 15 for Lexie and Lacey BY ANDREW SNOOK andrew.snook@perthcourier.com Fifteen may be a lucky number for Lexie Schouler. The Grade 10, 15-year-old, St. John Catholic High School student competed at the 2010 Trillium Hunter/Jumper Championships, held from Sept. 9 to 12 in Palgrave, Ont. She won the provincial championship in the 0.85metre show jumping division. Schouler said that the credit should go to her horse Simply Red, a 15-year-old thoroughbred mare. “She deserved it, she’s such a good horse,” Schoular said. Schoular began her riding career when she was nine years old, after receiving a horse as a present from her grandfather. She would often go out and watch her sister, Katherine, take lessons; she eventually followed in her sister’s footsteps. At age 11, she started competing in shows on a little pony. She has been competing at shows with Simply Red for three years. Schoular said that her horse was extremely excited to be competing in the event in Palgrave. “It’s a bigger ring,” she said. “As soon as Lacey (Simply Red is her horse’s show name) enters the ring, her nostrils flare and she starts to purr. It’s really cute.” Scoular’s entire family was on hand to witness her victory, including her mother, Kimberly, a nurse for Leeds, Grenville and

Lanark District Health Unit. “It was wonderful, she did very well,” Kimberly said. “It’s a lot of hard work. It made for a nice week.” Schoular said that her goal going into the event was to place within the top 10 competitors, she said winning was an unexpected surprise. One person it wasn’t a surprise for was her coach, Julie Cull. “I’ve been working with Lexie for the last four years,” Cull wrote in an email. “We had a plan for the season with the goal of peak performance for Lexie and Simply Red at the Championships, and we were able to compete and train all summer in order to bring out the best in her horse. The pair was absolutely ready for Championship competition.” Schoular trains with Cull at Riverbend Farm on County Road 43, between Merrickville and Smiths Falls. Cull has 25 years of experience teaching riders and is a certified coach with Equine Canada. Cull said that the next challenge for Lexie is training her new horse, Tahiatian Meraidt, a five-year-old, 16.3-hand Friesian/ Quarter Horse cross. “Her new horse will allow her to grow as a rider and a trainer,” Cull said. Lexie said that her new horse’s name is well-suited to its big, black frame.

Blue Wings keep top spot in Valley division BY ANDREW SNOOK andrew.snook@perthcourier.com The Perth Jr. B Blue Wings split their games last weekend and retained control of first place in the Valley division. The weekend started off with a surprising 7-4 loss to the Pontiacs in Shawville on Friday, Oct. 1. The Pontiacs caught the Blue Wings off guard and rebounded from an embarrassing 11-1 loss to Ottawa West to hand Perth its first loss of the season. “Worst game we played this season,” said Steve Sundin, head coach and general manger of the Blue Wings. “There wasn’t anyone playing well – it was a real team effort. We took the opposition lightly and they stunned us.”

The Blue Wings were able to shake off the loss in time for their home game against the Arnprior Packers on Sunday, Oct. 3. Perth defeated Arnprior by a score of 4-1. “It was a good effort by everyone,” Sundin said. “That’s the team we have to beat all year.” Perth goaltender Jeremy Wright had a strong showing. “He kept us in the whole game,” Sundin said. With the victory against the Packers (4-1-1), the Blue Wings (5-1-1) have taken sole control first place in the Valley division. Perth’s next game will be against the Clarence Beavers (4-1-1) at the Perth and District Community Centre on Friday, Oct. 8 at 7:45 p.m.

Spartans senior action The St. John Catholic High School senior football team shut out Carleton Place High School 37-0. The team rebounded from their 7-3 loss earlier in the week against Renfrew. With the win, the Spartans’ senior team improved to 2-2. “We faced two tough losses,” said head coach Ryan Murphy. The result fueled the team going into Thursday’s game, which saw the offense really start to move, Murphy said. “We took a few chances,” he said. The team started off Thursday’s game on a high note by scoring on a reverse on the kickoff. “That got the engine started,” Murphy said. The senior team’s next game will be at home against Mackenzie High School (Deep River) on Friday, Oct. 8 at 2 p.m. for the school’s senior Turkey Bowl.

Junior Spartans The St. John Catholic High School junior boys’ football team continued its undefeated streak defeating CPHS 27-6 on Sept. 30 and PDCI 27-6 on Sept. 28. The Spartans’ junior football team is now 3-0. The junior team will try and remain undefeated when they take on Notre Dame Catholic High School at home on Saturday, Oct. 9 at 2 p.m.

Institute’s senior football team lost 21-7 against Arnprior District High School on Tuesday, Sept. 28 in Perth. The Blue Devils got behind early in the game, allowing two touchdowns in the first quarter, and trailed the Redmen 13-0 at the half. “(At half time, I) tried to get players to realize they weren’t meeting their potential,” PDCI head coach Kris Wiley wrote in an email. “Many mistakes were made with too many penalties taken on both sides of the ball.” PDCI fought back in the third quarter to keep the game competitive. Blue Devil quarterback Brady Fournier found John McLean in the open and threw for PDCI’s first touchdown of the game to cut the Redmen lead to 13-7. The PDCI defense held Arnprior’s offense to a single point in the third quarter to keep it a onescore game. Unfortunately, that was as close as PDCI would get to even the score. Arnprior added another touchdown in the closing to win 21-7. Wiley said that he received strong performances from Lukas Logan Smith and Jed Bowes. Wiley said that Logan had great determination on his punt returns and made a couple of nice catches, while Bowes led the team’s defense in tackles. “A monster on defense,” Wiley said. “He seemed to be in every play.” PDCI’s next game will be at the Turkey Bowl against Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute on Sunday, Oct. 10 at noon in Perth.

Weir said that while growing up, he modeled his play after former NHL player Doug Gilmour. “I was a huge Doug Gilmour fan,” Weir said. “I liked that he could play defense, offense and wasn’t afraid to go into corners. He was just a tough hockey player.” With his mother in the military, Weir has practically had wings himself, moving from place to place, offering his hockey talents to a variety of teams. Weir started his hockey career at the age of five in Gatineau, Que. He has played for teams in Gatineau, North Bay and several Ottawa-based teams. He played minor hockey in Nepean and has played his entire junior career at the Junior B level. He currently lives in Barrhaven, but said he enjoys commuting into Perth for hockey. “I think it’s a great community,” Weir said. Weir plans to continue playing in the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League (EOJHL) in the 2011-12 season, and then pursue a hockey career at the university level. He said he will play hockey for as long as he possibly can. “I just love the game.

The 20-year-old native of Summerside, P.E.I. has tallied three goals and five assists in his first six games with Perth, including two game-winning goals. Weir was picked up to add some offensive depth to an already strong Blue Wings lineup, but that’s not the only skill he brings to the table. He plays all positions except goaltender, and he is happy to put himself in whatever role his team requires of him. “He’s been a great addition to the team,” said Steve Sundin, head coach and general manager for the Blue Wings. “He can play defense, he can play offense, and he has a great attitude. He’s fit in very nicely as a veteran.” Sundin said that he appreciates Weir’s diverse talents, but prefers to have him play at the centre position. “He has very good vision, he’s a Perth Jr. B Blue Wings player Dan good set-up guy,” Sundin said.

Spartan scoreboard on the horizon Three upcoming fundraisers will finally help St. John Catholic High School answer a question often heard on its football field: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the score?â&#x20AC;? The school is poised to finally purchase a scoreboard for its outdoor field after four years of football at the school and four years of efforts to find a sponsor for the scoreboard. No sponsors stepped up to help cover the cost of the $17,000 to $20,000 piece of equipment, so the athletics department and parents are taking matters into their own hands. Coaches approached school groups asking for help, and are now only $3,000 away from the goal of having a scoreboard at SJCHS. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one part of the whole experience thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been lacking,â&#x20AC;? said Dominic Marando, a teacher at the school and head coach of the junior football squad. The only complaint attendees make at games is that they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell what the score is or how much time is left in the game, he said. But a scoreboard is also a valuable coaching tool that is currently missing, Marando said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The experience of the games will be better, and it also allows the coaches to better manage and coach their teams,â&#x20AC;? Marando said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been working on for four years,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finally up, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably shed a tear.â&#x20AC;? Coaches hope that three fundraisers planned for this year will make up the rest of the funds needed. The first event will be a tailgate party this Saturday, Oct. 9 starting at 12:30 p.m., before the start of the junior teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Turkey Bowl game against Notre Dame Catholic High School.

There will also be a fundraising school dance at the end of October, as well as a year-end banquet at in mid-November for all football players and their families. The school already had about $4,000 in the bank towards a scoreboard: a $2,000 donation from parents of a football player after the first year of the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s football program, and another $2,000 raised during a dance organized by parents last fall. The scoreboard budget was also bolstered by leftover funds from the SJCHS OFSSAA volleyball committee.
