Frizell wins gold, sets record BY ANDREW SNOOK andrew.snook@perthcourier.com Sultana Frizell decided to give herself an early birthday present this year. The Perth hammerthrower threw her way to a record firstplace finish at the Commonwealth Games on Oct. 7 in Delhi, India. She turns 26 on Oct. 24. Frizell, 25, threw a 68.57-metre toss to make it into the record books. The previous record was held by Australia’s Brooke Krueger, who threw for 67.9 m in the 2006 Commonwealth Games held in Melbourne, Australia. Carys Parry of Wales earned the silver medal with a toss of 64.93 m and England’s Zoe Derham won bronze with her throw of 64.04m. Frizell nearly fouled out The gold medal in Delhi is Frizell’s most impressive victory to date, but her gold medal throw did not surpass he personal best throw of 72.24 m, the current Canadian women’s record.

Kerem was struck by the makeshift communities that would evolve as yurts were constructed and dismantled, as they are intended to accommodate the nomadic Mongolian lifestyle. “I tend to be of the school of learning by doing,” Kerem says. “I could tell it (yurt building) was a very specialized profession there.” Despite not speaking a word of the native tongue, Kerem managed to communicate to the tradesmen that he wanted to learn their craft. “I left with a very strong sense of bonding with these people in the most meaningful way – by living and working with them,” Kerem says.

FROM THE FRONT Stories continued from Page 1

Journey to Mongolia is closer than you think people could live and experience a natural setting, and that is a goal that has consumed him ever since. The realization of his goal has recently come to pass: Kerem recently opened his yurt accommodations, deemed the Kingsford Yurt Camp, in his forest near Burridge in South Frontenac Township, just west of Westport. The camp is located just steps away from Frontenac Provincial Park, which gives visitors access to rivers and trails. “This place has a magic all its own,” says Kerem as he stands beside the bubbling Kingsford River, with curves around the clearing. He spent nine years clearing the dense forest and underbrush to create a clearing in the location he envisioned.

“I was just trying to uncover what was naturally here,” he says. “It was a pioneering sort of effort.” At the same time, Kerem was tackling his first yurt in his workshop. He worked away at it sporadically over the course of a year, eventually completing the 4.3-metre (14-foot) diameter structure. The second yurt, a 5.8-metre (19-foot) diameter blue structure, was handcrafted in Mongolia and decoratively painted to Kerem’s specifications before being shipped to Canada. Both yurts are filled with elaborately decorated furniture that was also made in Mongolia.

where he lived until age eight. His pursuit of different trades brought him to live in several European countries in his 20s, including Switzerland, where he learned the trade of dairy farming and cheesemaking. Likening maple syrup production in Canada to cheesemaking in Switzerland, Kerem’s next mastercraft quest brought him to Canada, where has has lived ever since. Being in the forest brought out a special interest in woodworking, which led to his wellestablished Burridge woodworking shop, Radiance of the Ordinary. The workshop has become a destination in the area, particularly for Kerem’s The journey to Mongolia unique hand-tooled brooms. Kerem grew up in Israel, Coincidently, the workshop is

located in a restored cheese factory, a restoration project that earned Kerem and his wife, Tanya Deacove (who is originally from Tay Valley Township), a Frontenac Heritage Foundation award last year. His pursuit to learn the practical applications of traditions from across the world also drew him to Tibet to apprentice with a coppersmith, and Bhutan, where he did architectural design for the government. Despite the difﬁculties getting into Mongolia at the time, Kerem was determined to visit a childhood friend there who worked for the United Nations. After the 2001 trip, Kerem began tackling his own yurt in 2007 and eventually returned to Mongolia in 2009 to re-engage with the craftsmen there.

Since the camp opened in August, one group of people have stayed at the Kingsford Yurt Camp. “They were blown away by the site and the yurts,” Kerem says. The guests told him that the unusualness of living in a circular space added to the exotic nature of the stay. While a modernized version of the yurt is becoming more common in Canada (some provincial parks offer yurts as accommodations), Kerem said the appeal of his camp lies in the ornate and traditional aspect of the yurts. “It can’t help but foster an appreciation for the natural environment,” Kerem says. “It is the way humans can create beauty in the natural environment, and have done so for millennia.”

Lanark mayoral candidates From ‘Lanark mayoral’, Pg. 1 “For the ﬁrst time after 10 years of work and three councils we were able to put a system in front of the people with a cost, that’s where we’re at right now. Engineering for in-ground piping is completed but we have to investigate and ﬁnd the funds necessary to make the project feasible.”

Coun. Peter McLaren McLaren was elected to his term as a councillor in 2006, representing Ward 4. He has owned and operated his own transportation business and worked in the construction industry. He said that he is interested in running for mayor because he wants to improve how the town operates and reduce unnecessary

spending. “The way things are going we are going to be in trouble with ﬁnances,” he said. McLaren recently started his third year as the provincial director of the Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement Association, and has sat on the MississippiRideau Source Water Protection Committee for three years. McLaren said that the main issue with the water and sewer issue is affordability. “You’re never going to get any development without it,” he said. McLaren wrote in his election pamphlet that he would continue to pursue funding for the water and sewer project, but would give the project a green light unless he was convinced it was an appropriate system and affordable to residents.

Working, playing and persevering BY ANDREW SNOOK

andrew.snook@perthcourier.com It’s safe to say that Ray Donaldson has been a fan of cars and guitars his whole life. The 69-year-old Lanark resident fashioned his first guitar from old wooden, crates for oranges when he was 10. Donaldson’s work with his hands didn’t stop at musical instruments, even at such a young age. “I was tearing my bicycle apart at age 10,” he said. Donaldson was born in Almonte and lived in Cardinal, Ont. before moving to Lanark at the age of six in 1947. At the age of 17, he started playing guitar at a variety of local gigs, completely self-taught, and has been playing ever since. He said that he only stopped playing for five or six years when his children were young. “I had to work, raise three kids and had a business to run.” In 1962, Donaldson opened his first repair shop at his father’s home. But in 1964, the business was destroyed during a storm, when lightning hit a large maple tree that had branches that hung over his garage. The fire ended up burning down his business and destroying all his stock; however, the accident did not deter Donald-

play a variety of guitars including steel guitar, lap steel guitar and Dobro. He even knows a little on the mandolin; however, he doesn’t take all the credit for being able to continue his musical career. “Feryn (Donaldson’s wife) has been very supportive,” he said. The happy couple celebrated their 51st wedding anniversary on Sept. 5. “It seems like yesterday,” he said. Donaldson has performed a countless number of concerts, fairs and events over his lifetime and is looking to share his wealth of musical experience with up-and-coming musicians. He is currently in the process of organizing a steel guitar workshop. Donaldson also sits on the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame’s committee for inducting new members. “Music is meant to be fun, I do it because I like doing it,” he said. “Once the fun leaves, go find another job. It’s just a hobby for me, but I’ve had a great run at it.” Donaldson had a few words of advice for people learning to play musical instruments. “There’s no wrong or right way to play music,” he said. “Just play what you feel in your heart.”

Day championing community involvement in school board BY LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@perthcourier.com Stephen Day says he wants to bring the school community back into the decision-making process of the Upper Canada District School Board. Day is the first person to challenge the incumbent, Bill MacPherson, for the Ward 2 trustee seat in 10 years. One of the issues that sparked Day’s interest in the trustee role was the campaign to keep a strong musical education program at Glen Tay Public School, which one of his daughters attends. When the board standardized the amount of French instruction at all schools (which resulted in an increase in French for Glen Tay), parents spoke out against losing music time to make up for the additional French requirements. “There is no question that is

one of the issues that got me involved,” Day said. He said it seemed like the board had made a decision about the amount of French before parents and the school community had been fully informed and consulted. After parents expressed concern about the effect on the music program, Day said the board staff gave parents “lip service” that their concerns were being considered. The trustee’s role in such situations is to represent his or her constituents, Day said – not the interests of the board bureaucracy. He also believes schools should have some autonomy over decisions. Steven Day To avoid the type of conflict that occurred at Glen Tay, Day said he would be directly involved with school community, so he could each school council to ensure he anticipate issues and outcomes is in touch with the strengths and of decisions before they happen. “Before that situation arose... I individual characteristics of each

want to be in a position to understand strengths and weaknesses of each school,” Day said. While he acknowledges that he would be only one of 10 trustees sitting around the horseshoe in Brockville, Day said he would use his knowledge of the schools to bring back messages to his schools and ensure he communicates the issues to them. The major issue the board will face in the next four-year term is the continuing issue of declining enrolment, Day said. Day said that if it made financial sense, he would support a proposal to combine Perth and District Collegiate Institute (which is slated for replacement in the next few years) with a recreational facility (spearheaded by the Town of Perth). But he cautioned: “I don’t want to spend time talking about bigticket items when kids are fall-

ing through the cracks ... In four years if I am running for re-election, I don’t want to stand up and start talking about buildings.” Day said he hasn’t been involved in school council before, but he frequently volunteers as a coach and chaperone, particularly during the winter months, because his work is seasonal. Day has two children in the public school system: his daughters attend Glen Tay and PDCI. Day grew up in Peterborough, where he attended Trent University for English literature, before moving to Milton, where he worked in the food sector and started his own business. He and his family moved to Tay Valley Township nine years ago to take over operation of Christie Lake Cottages. He has never run for political office before. The election takes place on Oct. 25.

MacPherson looking to start second decade as trustee BY LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@perthcourier.com When Bill MacPherson first entered politics in 1974, he was the youngest councillor in Lanark County at only 26 years old. Now 62, the one-time Drummond/North Elmsley Township councillor (a role he held for 16 years) is now better known as the local face of the Upper Canada District School Board, for which he has been the Ward 2 trustee for 10 years. MacPherson is seeking re-election in the role, but for the first time since he was elected as a trustee, he is facing a challenger. MacPherson says he has had a lifelong passion for grassroots politics, and he simply loves his role as a public representative. “I have always liked to help people,” he said. One of his “pet projects” has been the area of special educa-

tion for children who have learning difficulties. MacPherson said he accomplishes a lot as trustee, but prefers to do things quietly, behind the scenes. He said he is offended by his challenger, Stephen Day’s characterization of MacPherson as a trustee who does not go to school council meetings. “I am very much aware of the issues,” MacPherson said. “I go to as many meetings as I am invited to,” adding that he makes presentations to all the municipalities within his jurisdiction. MacPherson said he experimented with a newsletter to parents as a form of engagement, but he has had more success with his monthly radio addresses on Lake 88.1 FM. In his role as a trustee, MacPherson said he must balance the needs of parents, students and the board.

If you miss this deadline, you can drop it off at the Township Office at anytime up until 8:00 p.m. on October 25th. 2010 Election Results Unofficial election results will be released at the Reception Centre, in the gym at Maple Grove Public School, 151 George St., Lanark and posted on the Township website as soon as they are available after 8 p.m. on Election, Monday, Oct. 25, 2010. Candidates, Media and Public are welcome to attend.

Bill MacPherson MacPherson said it bothers him when he hears people call the school board’s bureaucracy “bloated.” “We are not bloated,” he said, noting one example of when the board declined to hire a new superintendant of facilities when he retired, instead giving his duties to the person who looks after

information technology. The board budget is audited annually and must conform to Ministry of Education guidelines, MacPherson said. In the next term, MacPherson said he would be focusing on rebuilding Perth and District Collegiate Institute, which is up for replacement. “It’s at a very delicate stage of approval,” he said, noting how a possible provincial election and subsequent change in policy could have an effect of the project. MacPherson is working with board staff and Perth town staff and councillors to envision how a recreational facility could be combined with the new high school. MacPherson said it is important to keep an eye on the arts, and how the school’s Mason Auditorium could be replicated. The biggest challenge will continue to be declining enrolment, MacPherson said.

Other initiatives on MacPherson’s mind include pursuing a joint French immersion program with the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario in Lanark Highlands, community engagement and seeking the position of board chair so he can advance his ideas, particularly to rotate the location of board meetings to encourage the public to participate. MacPherson said he is well-positioned to take these ideas forward because he is fully aware of the processes and how to make them work for the benefit of the constituents. MacPherson grew up in Drummond/North Elmsley and has lived in the township his entire life. He has volunteered as a 4H leader for 20 years. He has worked as a school bus driver for 35 years, transporting 125 children each day. The election takes place on Oct. 25.

Foster said he is seeking reelection so he can follow through with several public works projects that have been mapped out for the next five years, including Leach’s and Hands roads, which Foster says are the priority. Economic development is also a priority for Foster. “It’s high time we had an economic development fund,” Foster said.

Letts is concerned about the provincial policy statement, which he says is trying to “curtail” development in rural areas such as DNE.

McEwen is a member of the board for the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority. In the next term, McEwen said the council will face the challenge of completing the official plan. One issue in the official plan is the designation of about 3,000 acres of land as Class 1 and Class

Charlotte Reed says her background in business would be an asset to DNE council. Reed graduated with a degree in psychology and philosophy from Queen’s University, which she later attended for her master’s degree in public administration. Reed spent much of her career working for Canada Post and Bell Canada. This is her first election campaign, and she says serving on council would give her more knowledge and understanding of the township. She said she is at a point in her life when she needs a new direction and challenge. Reed ran unsuccessfully to fill a vacant seat on DNE council this

Ray Scissons Ray Scissons says his insider knowledge of how the township works would give him an advantage as a councillor. Scissions served as chief building official (CBO) for DNE for 16 years until his retirement last year. He currently works as the CBO for the Township of Elizabethtown/Kitley, and he fills in as a CBO on a contract basis for a number of other area municipalities. “My experience in the day-today stuff is a big asset,” he said. Scissons first attempted a political run this summer, when he filed a nomination to fill a vacancy on DNE council. He said people in the township encouraged him to run. The expansion of Highway 7 from Ottawa to Carleton Place will have an impact on DNE, bringing more residents with higher expectations for services. “We’re going to get that and we need to be prepared,” Scissons said. The current council has served the township well, but Scissons said he would like to see “less red tape” in terms of the township’s bureaucracy. He also thinks the council should do more to recognize small businesses that open in DNE. Scissons also has a career background in the Ministry of Municipal Affairs, where he did assessments for 13 years before the advent of MPAC. Scissions has lived in Lanark County his entire life. He is originally from Carleton Place. His son, Carl Scissions, is the manager of public works for DNE, which experts have advised him is not a conflict of interest, he said.

COMMUNITY NEWS

CFUW celebrates 40th with Fall Gathering BY LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@perthcourier.com While other service clubs address aging populations and declining membership, one local group is celebrating its 40th anniversary with a membership that grows exponentially each year. The Canadian Federation of University Women of Perth and District is bucking the trends and even standing out among other CFUW chapters because of its popularity; each year for the past several years, a couple dozen new members have come out to the club. The number of members has more than doubled in the last four years alone. The club draws members from Perth and the surrounding townships, as well as Smiths Falls and Westport. Now, the club boasts a membership just shy of 100 women, and numerous special-interest groups have sprung up in the club’s ranks. From gourmet and supper clubs to Spanish- and French-speaking clubs to a dogwalking group, travel club and even a karaoke group, the CFUW has evolved to cater to every member’s interest. While the social aspect of the club is a main draw, the group’s charitable focus also attracts a lot of interest. The CFUW focuses on education, and its annual house tour is the major fundraiser for its education scholarships that are given to local women each spring. Last year, the local club gave out $17,500 in scholarships to 33 applicants, a “big jump” over last year, said president Anne Neil. Additional monies raised are given to causes involving literacy and youth, such as the Youth Action Kommittee in Perth, the Ready To Read program at Glen Tay Public School and the heritage fair. The group also partnered to organize a fundraising dance and auction for the Stewart Park Festival.

The other focuses of CFUW include the status of women internationally, as well as the environment – a cause that came into the limelight with the CFUW’s recent success in lobbying Perth town council to enact an anti-idling bylaw. The anti-idling bylaw will continue to be a focus for the club, as it embarks on a year-long education campaign to inform residents and visitors about the bylaw and its health and environmental benefits. Another focus in the coming year will be violence against women – a cause championed by Neil. “I’d like to have more awareness out there,” she said. “It’s even where we live, in our perfect, idyllic little town.” One initiative marking the local CFUW’s 40th anniversary is the release of a fundraising cookbook entitled From Our House to Yours, filled with recipes cooked by the gourmet club over that group’s 10 years in existence. The book costs $15 and is available from CFUW members. At its annual general meeting in May, the CFUW celebrated by inviting past presidents to join the group in enjoying a cake. Next up, the local CFUW will host the annual Fall Gathering for all CFUW clubs in eastern Ontario. The day-long conference is open to the public and will take place at Code’s Mill on Saturday, Oct. 23 from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Speakers will include: eastern Ontario CFUW director Monique Togas, United Nations women’s representative Caecilia Van Peski, long-time CFUW member Marylee Burtt and Carol Ann Cole, an inspirational speaker who rose through the ranks to become a vice-president of Bell Canada. Cole also started her own breast-cancer charity after both she and her mother were diagnosed with the disease. For tickets to the event, contact Katie Hoffman at 613-284-9371.

No more junk food at Ontario schools

BY SAM COOLEY

sam.cooley@metroland.com Those salty, sodium-filled cartons of French fries and aspartame-injected cans of carbonation won’t be seen in schools in Ontario anymore. On Oct. 4, the Ministry of Education released its School Food and Beverage Policy. It focuses on the availability of healthy food that can be purchased within school boundaries, such as vending machines or cafeterias. The policy does not cover food that the students bring from home or other places, just for products sold at schools, or during school events. The School Food and Beverage Policy recognizes three distinct food categories. The first category takes up 80 per cent of food available in schools and is described as “the healthiest options.” According to the policy website, the healthiest options

“generally have higher levels of essential nutrients and lower amounts of fat, sugar, and/or sodium.” The second category takes up the rest, at a smaller amount (20 per cent). Products in this category take up that have a higher amount of sugar, fat, and sodium. The third category, the “confectionary” category, is now not permitted for sale. Food in this group doesn’t have a lot of good nutrients, and has a high amount of sugar, fat, and sodium. Examples of which are deep fried foods, candy, and chocolate. The policy document also mentions that school principals have a maximum of 10 “special event” days, which the policy rules regarding the sale of unhealthy food do not apply. Through an email exchange Laurie McCabe, the principal of Almonte District High School, approved of the new policy. “We (the staff at ADHS) are

anticipating that this new policy will have a positive impact on ADHS staff and students,” said McCabe. “Since the policy comes into effect for both elementary and secondary schools, we will eventually see a significant shift in the eating habits of youth as they become more aware of the benefits of making healthier eating choices.” McCabe also mentioned that the Grade 12 leadership class is going to elementary schools in the area and promoting healthy lifestyle choices. There are several school programs aimed towards educating youth in reducing poor health decisions. “Statistics came out this year revealing youth obesity rates which are staggering,” she said, “We need to work together, not just as a school but as a community, to address this issue and we are very pleased with the school food and beverage policy as doing our part.”

Hospital parking changes at SF site during construction The Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital’s $43-million Smiths Falls Site redevelopment is now in the final year of the twoand-a-half-year project. The emergency parking lot located on Cornelia Street will be closed starting at 4 p.m. on Friday Oct. 15 to allow for expansion of the parking lot and construction to improve access to the emergency department. The renovation of the original 1950s wing, now underway, includes major exterior work, which will affect the parking arrangements at the emergency parking lot located off of Cornelia Street. Landscaping and additional water catch basins are part of

the work to take place that will see the expansion of the current emergency parking lot to 39 permanent spaces. In May, the hospital opened its new 58,000-square-foot patient care wing. In June, construction started on the renovations of the 1950s wing. The emergency department entrance will continue to be open 24 hours per day during this work. During construction, visitors accessing the emergency department may also park in the main parking lot located on Elmsley Street. A temporary lot is also available for emergency department patients. That lot is located at the corner of Cornelia and Elmsley streets.

EDITORIAL OUR OPINION

Take advantage of opportunities to inform your vote

ct. 25 is just around the corner. In our communities, we have a lot of reading to do. In Drummond/North Elmsley, Lanark Highlands, Perth and Tay Valley, we have a total of 32 candidates nominated in municipal elections – and that is not including those who have already been acclaimed and the two people who are vying for a seat on the Upper Canada District School Board. There are many ways to prepare and educate yourself for a municipal election. By now, particularly if you live in town, chances are good you’ve had at least one candidate come to your door to introduce themselves. Don’t be afraid to ask questions and learn more about what they are planning to do while they’re standing on your doorstep. Many candidates also take the opportunity to put out election flyers outlining their platforms, as well as advertisements in local newspapers. Each week, we have been featuring candidate profiles and will continue to get your local candidates out there to help you be more informed. These days, more and more candidates are using the web as a tool to get their information out, whether they host election websites or use social networking, such as Facebook, to reach a tech-savvy generation. Finally, all-candidates debates are have been happening across the board, giving candidates a chance to voice their views and giving voters an opportunity to hear from the candidates firsthand, and get a sense of how they would fare if elected as politicians. Take the time to hear what your candidates have to say and make your voice heard. In the last municipal election, the average voter turnout in communities with a population between 2,000 and 25,000 people was 42.2 per cent, according to a survey conducted by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs. This is our chance to participate in the future direction of our municipalities, so get out there and vote! Whatever works best for you, take advantage of it. While it’s your right to vote, an undereducated vote won’t help your community go in the direction you want it to. Information about ensuring you are on the voters’ list, as well as instructions for voting, are available from the returning officer at your municipality’s administrative office.

increases the tax base with two potential outcomes: it allows the town to spend more and/or reduces the tax burden on residents. Unfortunately there was hardly a word said about the residents of this town and the taxes paid by them. I often hear people talking about the new people moving into Perth because it is so attractive, but the base population doesn’t change. Are the councillors and prospective councillors not

aware that for this to happen people are moving out of Perth and into areas where the tax burden is less? Sure, green, tourism and businesses are important, but if you dwell on these factors and increase our coloured boxes, hire another person to develop business opportunities and improve our public image to encourage tourism you could find yourselves with fewer citizens to pay the bills.

Give generously to food bank Dear Editor: It is that time of year once again – time to give thanks for all we have and to remind ourselves that there are many in our community do not have the advantages we enjoy. It is also the time of the Perth and District Food Bank’s annual Harvest Campaign. This year seems to be a particularly difficult year for food banks across Ontario. Even our provincial premier has encouraged Ontarians to give to their

local food bank. While I must take Premier McGuinty to task for his government’s lack of initiative in ensuring that the disabled and the disadvantaged citizens of Ontario have sufficient funds to put food on the table for themselves and their families, I do have to agree with his suggestion that we all try to be as generous as we can in supporting our local food banks. So many depend on the generosity of their neighbours

to meet their basic needs. It is a deplorable situation in such a rich country. But until the governments of Ontario and Canada address the issues of poverty and lack of nutritious food and affordable housing, it is up to each of us to help. I urge all to give generously to the Harvest Campaign and if you have a few minutes, write to Premier McGuinty and suggest that he do more about poverty in this province. Joan Frommer, Perth

O’ dreaded decade that no longer ends in “teen.” “Ends in teen,” you might observe, rhymes with “Drama Queen.” The 20 years between then and now have made a big difference in perspective. When turning 30 I felt slightly cross, but not nearly so melodramatic. At 40, instead of lamenting out loud, my approach was to try to pretend it wasn’t happening and to quietly mope. At least there was less wailing and bemoaning and such. Quite an accomplishment, I suppose. (Yes, except now I’m writing about it in the newspaper.) The Big Day was a few weeks ago amid of flurry of other 40year birthdays that provided acknowledgment strategies ranging from ignoring it completely to moderate celebrations to full-blown rent-a-hall type of parties. I celebrated by eating a lot of food at various locations. It worked out well – unless you ask the scale. So what IS the big deal? I know, I know – “It’s just a number.” I also know that 40 is a mere half of 80 and twothirds of 60 – I’ve been told by many people who have already reached those increments. (They were, I think, diplomatically trying to tell me to “Suck it up, buttercup.”) Maybe 40 feels weird because it’s on the edge of something. For example, by now I figure I should know what I’m doing,

notion I am about 17. Now I think I will officially have to change that to 29 or thereabouts. People say different things about 40. Some say it’s all downhill from here and that my body is going to slowly fall apart. Others say these will be the best years of my life. Still others say 50 is better because after that you no longer care what other people think about the things you do. Perhaps 50 is when you finally grow into your own skin – or does that ever happen? Of course there are some huge perks to turning 40. The biggest one, near as I can figure, is that Past Deadline this year it will be so much easier to remember how old I am.

Companies compete at camera conference P

hotokina 2010 has just happened in Cologne, Germany. It’s one of the largest photo trade fairs to be held anywhere in the world and a place where all the major camera manufacturers display their products and introduce exciting new stuff. So, what happened at this year’s big show, which concluded at the end of September? Several major announcements were made prior to the show, while others were saved for the trade fair itself. Either way, here are a few of the major highlights from that huge event. Nikon announced the new Coolpix P7000, a high-end compact camera designed to compete with Canon’s highly successful “G” series. This is a camera aimed at the serious photographer who wants lots of control, and it can shoot in RAW format, of course.

If Nikon can fix that problem, they will have a real winner on their hands. Canon, not to be outdone, announced the G12, next in line in the well-regarded “G” series. It will become available by the time you read this. These cameras are a bit bigger than the typical small point-and-shoots, but light years ahead in what they can do. They won’t fit in a shirt pocket, but they will fit in a Camera Corner jacket with no problem.

It has no viewfinder, but is a highly regarded picture-taker. It’s also very compact. That’s the top end of the small, but high quality point-and-shoot models. In DSLR world, new models keep coming down the pipe. If you are interested in buying one of these, I would recommend very careful research before you purchase. What looks phenomenal in the reviews may not be all that great in your hand, so try before you buy. Case in point – the new Sony Alpha 55. Reading the specs, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on one, but when I did, I was not nearly so impressed. It just proves what I’ve said before – you

www.perth.ca Water Meter Reader Contractor Required The Town of Perth is seeking quotations for service from individuals interested in reading residential and commercial/industrial water meters within the municipality. In total, there are approximately 2,400 meters that require reading on either a monthly (commercial/industrial) or bi-monthly basis (residential). The Town is moving to a new system in 2011 whereby estimated billing for residential customers will be eliminated. Details of the new system will be discussed at the mandatory contractors meeting described below. The contract will commence January 1st, 2011 for an initial period of one year with the possibility of an extension for a further one or two years. The contractor will be paid on a monthly flat-rate all-inclusive basis. Interested individuals should work well with numbers and have access to transportation. Liability insurance in an amount not less than $2,000,000 with the Town as a named insured is mandatory. A satisfactory police background check as well as the ability to obtain bonding is necessary as the contractor is required to enter onto private property and may be required to enter into some residences.

LOOKING BACK 25 years ago

Lanark backs Tibrell to the hilt

full slate of 10 Progressive Conservative delegates was elected at the nomination meeting of the Lanark PC party last week, giving PC leadership candidate hopeful Dennis Timbrell the solid backing of Lanark County. The delegates travelling to Toronto for the leadership convention scheduled for November includes Norman Turner of Perth, Arnold Jackson of Carleton Place, Gloria Leonard of Almonte and youth delegate Barbara Galaway of Almonte. Delegates who will once again be representing Lanark County in their second leadership convention include the president of the Lanark PC party, David McMullen of Almonte; Dr. Frank Murphy of Almonte; Joyce Brennan of Smiths Falls; Florence Virgin of Almonte; youth delegate Jamie Schoular; and Joyce Bridges of Carleton Place. The 10 delegates all voiced their support of Dennis Timbrell during the meeting held last Wednes-

day evening. Murphy, one of the delegates to the convention, said it was his understanding that Timbrell had “en masse support from Lanark County.” Timbrell was edged out of the party convention held in Toronto earlier this year by a mere six votes and although provincewide polls show leadership candidate Larry Grossman out in front, local delegates are positive Timbrell will be victorious. “Mr. Timbrell is on a roll and I think he has a very good chance of winning. The recent polls are very encouraging,” said Murphy. Murphy said the most pressing problem the PC party has to contend with is “grassroots input.” “The party has been run too long by a small group of people in Toronto,” he said.

spraying in the area. Needleton opened the meeting by telling the audience what landowners should request from the government. These requests included government spraying of private land, acquisition of federal funds, pinpointing insect hotspots by satellite and wanting to know what exactly the government is doing with Crown lands, according to Needleton. Denys, of MNR, stated that the gypsy moth had infested 246,900 hectares in 1985, up from 80,000 hectares in 1984. “The gypsy moth is found everywhere in Ontario,” he said. According to Denys, there are about 20 MNR people scouring the area identifying the rate of infestation on high-value Crown lands. The survey is scheduled to be completed by Nov. 15, and a report will then be sent to the provincial minister responsible for MNR. A comment or commitment from the minister is expected by the end of the year. Denys went on to say that by January of next year, the MNR should be holding public meetings, if spraying is going to take place, and by February a final decision should be handed down. When asked by several people in the audience what plans the provincial government has for spraying private land, Denys replied, “The government has nevwinner by the judge, Carman er been involved with pest-conTennant, agricultural represen- trol programs on private land.” tative of Grenville County.

Saturday night as residents and cottage owners of the Sharbot Lake area questioned government officials about the measures being taken to eradicate the gypsy moth. Close to 100 people packed the Oso Township Community Hall hoping to hear that both the federal and provincial governments would assist private landowners in ridding themselves of the destructive pest. The meeting was sponsored by a group of concerned property owners in the area who will be facing extreme hardship if the gypsy moth is not kept under control in the immediate future. Bill Needleton, a property owner in the area, chaired the head table, which included Alec Denys from the Ministry of Natural Resources; Don Raddon from the Ministry of Environment; Anne Wood, a technical representative Emotions high from Zoecon Corporation; and at gypsy moth meeting Howard Hutchinson from AgroEmotions were running high tors, a helicopter company that is

Thanksgiving holiday warm and sunny

anada’s Thanksgiving holiday was blessed with clear, warm sunshine and glorious colour as summer lingered across the country. Many cottages were opened for the weekend, as the weather was more ideal than many weekends during the summer months. Clear, warm weather took many motorists from the highways to the county and township roads to view the beautiful scenery which was at the best last weekend. While there has been no heavy frost in the area to speak of, the soft maples have turned to bright red and golden colours, and the hillsides and valleys caught the fancy of sightseers, and were a treat to behold. As a rule, Thanksgiving weekend has been a tragic time for highway fatalities, with motorists taking advantage of the last holiday before Christmas, but the Perth area was fortunate in escaping any serious accident. With the hunting season only started a week ago, the woods are full of hunters, but luckily no accidents were reported.

Town hall sporting fresh look Much favourable comment was heard, during the bazaar held last week, regarding the neat and spicand-span appearance of the town hall auditorium, kitchen and restrooms. The same might be said of the building throughout, with the clerk’s and the assessor’s office, the police office and mayor’s office undergoing a complete clean-up with varnished and waxed floors. The council chamber now presents a much-improved appearance with the new acoustic ceiling, which has been dropped about eight inches from its previous height. R.T. Parks and Son had the contract for this work, and the old plastered ceiling, which was about an inch and a half in thickness, was removed. Bert Fournier had the contract for the painting of the walls and woodwork. A light-yellow paint has brightened the walls and woodwork. It was the intention of council to renovate the council chambers next year, but there are other pressing commitments which the council will face in 1961 which are a must, hence the improvements to the chamber will have to be delayed for some future time.

An increase in Canada’s Parcel Post rates, to take effect March 1, was announced today by the post office department. It will be the first boost since 1951. Increased transportation costs, salary adjustments and other cost increases were given as the reason for the change in rates.

Bill Reddick is a potter and a porcelain artist who builds amazing pots, and his own kilns. He is speaking at McMartin House (125 Gore St. E.) on Sunday, Oct. 17 at 2 p.m. as part of McDonalds Corners-Elphin Recreation Arts Creative Spark lecture series, featuring influential Canadian artists. As a young man, Reddick walked away from university, wanting only to be a potter. When he discovered Prince Edward County he was knocked out by its beauty and serenity and decided that was where he wanted to be. Money was scarce, but ingenuity was plentiful. Reddick built a kiln in the garden to produce a popular wholesale line of stoneware, but soon felt locked into wholesale demand and yearned for more time to experiment and create. Though he left the academic world, Reddick never stopped learning. He discovered the beauty of Chinese ceramics, inspired by works from the Song Dynasty (roughly 965 to 1265) and marvelled at the ancient craftsmen’s pure design and delicate glazes. He resolved to wind down the stoneware line and began working in porcelain. His first porcelain line, created in 1996, attracted the attention of Jackson Lee, who invited him to tour China in 1997 with an elite group of Canadian potters. His first appearance at the One of a Kind Show in 2001 won him the Best New Artisan Award. He had found his niche. Surrounded by woods, fields and flowers and peace, his studio in Prince Edward County is his sanctuary and his inspiration…and the art just keeps getting better and better. Check out his website at www.billreddick.com. The remaining three lectures in the Creative Spark series are also taking place at McMartin House at 2 p.m. on Sundays. Jerry Grey, a painter, portraitist and

muralist, will be speaking on Oct. 31 and Max Dean, a mechanical artist, on Nov. 14. The lecture by Ellen Good, a weaver and designer of beautiful pieces, has been rescheduled to Nov. 21. Admission is $5, free for students. An informal “meet the artist” session with light refreshments will follow the lecture.

October 14, 2010 - THE PERTH COURIER - PAGE 13

Everyone loves a bargain, so Studio Theatre in Perth is offering a great one: two delightful productions all in one evening for the usual price of one play. An Evening of One-Act Plays features two love stories. Joanna McAuley will move audiences from laughter to tears with her performance as Laura Cunningham in Robert Anderson’s The Last Act is a Solo. Laura is an aging actress who was devoted to her stage career and has surrounded herself with tangible reminders of that career because her own memory is failing badly. Her nephew Ben, played by Norman MacDonnell, tries to persuade her to go to a retirement home, while Paul Roach, who plays the young director Michael Jones, entices her with an offer of one last role. My Narrator is a more traditional love story (if playwright Norm Foster can ever be called traditional). Mary Ann Majoury and Lucas Tennant are two young people, Lacy and Miles, who meet and begin a not-so-successful relationship, guided by their Narrators, Bob and Barb. These Narrators (Barb Guthrie and Alfred Von Mirbach) have been created in each of the

young people’s minds to suggest appropriate responses in difficult situations. But like Alice, the young lovers give themselves very good advice but they very seldom follow it. In true Foster fashion, the course of love follows a comic and rough route to bring it to a satisfying conclusion. The Last Act is a Solo and My Narrator mark directing debuts of Kathy Reid and Ro-berta Peets. These two highly experienced theatre people turn their considerable talents to directing, and both plays will head off to the Eastern Ontario Drama League One-Act Play Festival in November.

Celebrate the Christmas season with the fifth annual Heritage Perth House Tour. The women of the Canadian Federation of University Women of Perth and District invite you to tour some of Perth’s most unique homes Dec. 4 and 5 from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and help the group raise funds to support higher education for women and young girls. This year a total of nine unique homes will be open to visitors – heritage homes that remind us of our past and some more modern but truly unique homes. Decorated for the season, the tour will definitely put you in the Christmas spirit. One of the town’s finest heritage homes, Nevis Estate, has been added as a bonus house for our visitors. Since the tour will make you hungry, lunch will be served at St. Paul’s United Church (25 Gore St. W.) on Saturday and at St. James the Apostle Anglican Church (12

Harvey St.) on Sunday for a small charge. Don’t miss afternoon tea and snacks on Saturday at the Factory Grind coffee shop in the Old Perth Shoe Factory at the corner of North and Sherbrooke streets. Tickets, in the form of a brochure illustrating the homes and their history, will be available starting Nov. 1 from Home Furniture (18 Gore St. W., 613-2649876), Elizabeth Interiors (8 Chamber St., Smiths Falls, 613-283-7581), Tivoli Florist in Ottawa (282 Richmond Rd., Westboro, 613729-6911 or 18 Clarence St. in the Byward Market, 613-321-0960) or call Muriel at 613267-2270. The CFUW is a voluntary nonprofit organization committed to the improvement of the status of women, human rights and to the promotion of education. Last year’s Heritage Perth House Tour enabled the granting of $17,500 to area women continuing their education. Submitted by the CFUW of Perth and District.

hile the fall season still nurtures days of summer-like weather, it’s a good time to begin stocking your backyard feeders. While many people have already begun this rewarding cold-weather pastime, others like ourselves now feed the birds at all seasons. To readers just starting out on this fast-growing hobby, or to those who might want to check their feeding program for better results, here are a few suggestions. Probably the one most important rule that must be adhered to is that once you have started feeding birds in the autumn or winter you must continue until the good weather returns. All too often in the past, well-meaning people have lost their autumn bird-feeding enthusiasm by January or taken off for warmer climes. The sad result of this leaves many dependent feathered friends without available food in the coldest months of the year. The type of feeding station you maintain depends on several things. First is how much you want to spend on over-thecounter models, or second is having someone in the household who is handy with some basic woodworking tools build one. If you are in the second group, it’s not only possible but practical to fashion your own feeders from scrap wood, plastic jugs, bottles, or little log sections. One home-built feeder that works well, especially when you are beginning, is simply a 24-by24-inch platform with a raised edge to prevent all the seeds from falling off. Later on, when the birds become accustomed to it, or to keep the snow off, a protecting end and a partial overhanging roof can be added. While sunflower and mixed seed are often the main type

BRIGGS-JUDE Outdoors of bird food used in backyard feeding stations, there are other items that attract wild birds as well. For example, to provide the necessary warmth on the coldest days of winter, many of the birds, including pheasants and grouse, welcome handouts of cracked corn. As far as cost goes, this is about as economical a bird food as you can get if bought in the large 40-kilogram sacks. And while on the subject of costs, you will find the small black sunflower seed goes further than the large striped variety and can be used by the smaller finches as well as the larger birds such as the grosbeaks and the doves. Don’t forget that stale cake or doughnut crumbs, apple cores, squash and pumpkin seeds can all be put out on the birds’ feeding shelf. Bacon fat can be mixed with cracked corn or oatmeal and set out in shallow plastic containers or dried grapefruit halves. While all of these items will be utilized, for woodpeckers it’s hard to beat raw beef suet. Cut into chunks and hung in mesh bags or put into wire holders that are fastened to a post or tree, this

highly nourishing food is a must for insect-eating woodpeckers, nuthatches and chickadees. One feeder we have developed that allows you to feed this latter group of birds at all seasons is a peanut feeder. As you know, suet by its very nature tends to melt, go rancid, or attract flies in the warm weather. By feeding peanuts in the shell you avoid all of these problems and in the summer reap the benefits of seeing these woodpeckers bring their families to meet you in your own backyard. Make it as follows. From a log or wooden post six inches in diameter cut two roundels three inches thick. Fasten these wooden discs to each end of a smaller log four inches in diameter and about 14 inches long. Now lay this dumb-bell-like holder on the bench and staple or nail half-inch mesh wire to the roundels, leaving an overlap where the wire mesh joins. Fill the peanut feeder with peanuts in the shell through this opened flap until there is a one-peanut thickness all around. Hold the opening closed by wrapping the holder with two pieces of singlestrand wire. Attach by one end to a length of wire and hang out of the reach of squirrels and raccoons. Now sit back and be patient. The birds will soon come and provide you with many sighting opportunities.

Not just a sport for the boys BY ANDREW SNOOK

andrew.snook@perthcourier.com Kasie Murphy is tackling old stereotypes about football being a man’s game. The Grade 9 St. John Catholic High School student is a member of her school’s junior football team. Murphy became interested in football after her uncle got her involved in the sport at a young age. “I played in the Smiths Falls league out of Brockville,” she said. “The first year I was on the Renegades and last year I played on the Bengals.” Murphy said that she plays a variety of other sports including hockey, baseball and bowling, but that football is her favourite. “It’s different from every other sport,” she said. Although people are sometimes surprised at her decision to play football, Murphy said that she

has encountered few negative responses. “Most people have been pretty accepting,” she said. “Usually at the end of the game people are surprised…when I take off the helmet and all the hair comes out.” Her father, David Murphy, said that Kasie’s coaches have been very encouraging and supportive. He said that he is happy to support his daughter on and off the field. “We try and encourage her to do whatever she wishes,” David said. “She’s quite good. She earned her spot on the team.” The 14-year-old, offensive tackle said that she has enjoyed the transition to competition at the high school level. “This year it has been fun because of all the excitement that comes with high school football,” Kasie said. “It’s fun with every-

one cheering you on and staying after school. It’s a really good environment, it’s just like I’m any other teammate.” Kasie is enrolled in the extended French program at SJCHS and she said she enjoys it a great deal. When she’s not hitting the books or opposing players, Kasie enjoys volunteering to raise money for the Shriners Hospital for Children. “We do face painting and the Shriners dress up as clowns and hand out balloons. We do pretty good with that,” she said. Murphy hopes to play football throughout her high school years and continue to playing it at a recreational level after graduating. “It’s always good to see some- Kasie Murphy, 14, poses for a photo outside St. John Catholic High body go right down, that’s the School’s football field.

PDCI football player sought after by schools across North America BY ANDREW SNOOK andrew.snook@perthcourier.com At six feet, four inches, 295 pounds, Perth’s Elliot Leeflang is not the average Perth and District Collegiate Institute (PDCI) high school student. Of course, the 17-year-old is also one of the star players for PDCI’s senior boys’ football team and has reigned as captain for the past two seasons. “This is his third year of senior football,” wrote PDCI head coach Kris Wiley. “We brought him up as a senior in Grade 10 which is not a regular thing to do. He has been an integral player for us as he plays both defensive and offensive line for most of the games.” Leeflang plays offensive line and defensive tackle for PDCI, but he said his favourite football memory to date was playing nose tackle at the U-17 Canadian Championships in 2009, when he helped Team Ontario defeat Team Alberta 42-7 in

Saskatoon. He said that he enjoys a variety of sports, but decided to stick with football because he excelled in the game. His decision appears to be a sound one, with universities from all over Ontario, Quebec and the U.S. attempting to recruit him. Helen Leeflang, Elliot’s mother, is excited at the opportunities being offered to her son. “The universities really support the academic side,” Helen said. “They have all these mentoring programs and staff to help players with time management. They really do support the players.” Elliot said that he is looking to study a field within the social sciences, possibly history, for his undergraduate degree. Elliot said he may also pursue a post-graduate degree in law. “I work hard at school and get high marks,” Elliot said. “I can do math and the sciences but I find I like the social sciences best.”

Blue Wings split weekend games

BY ANDREW SNOOK

andrew.snook@perthcourier.com The Perth Jr. B Blue Wings split more than drumsticks over the Thanksgiving weekend, picking up a win and a loss. The Blue Wings started off the weekend on a sour note, losing to the Clarence Beavers at home by a score of 5-2 on Friday, Oct. 8. Perth fell behind early in the first period, giving up two goals in the first seven-and-a-half minutes. The Blue Wings were able to cut the lead to 2-1 near the end of the first period on Mark Vradenburg’s fifth goal of the season, but the Beavers were able to regain its two-goal lead midway through the second period on a goal by Brett Shruton. Perth’s Nick Brunet scored a short-handed goal in the second period to cut the lead to 3-2, but that was as close as the Blue Wings came to tying the game. Clarence dominated the third

period outshooting Perth 17-5 and scored twice on goals by Jason Talbot and Trevor Doucette. “We had a good game for two periods and penalty problems in the third,” said Steve Sundin, head coach for the Blue Wings. “We gave them some opportunities and they buried some pucks.” The Beavers finished the game outshooting the Blue Wings 3827. Goaltender Jeremy Wright stopped 33 of 38 shots for Perth, while Patrick Martin stopped 25 of 27 shots for Clarence. The Blue Wings (6-2-1) bounced back from Friday’s loss by defeating the Stittsville Royals (2-7-0) by a score of 6-3. “We ended up with two lines and four defensemen, it was a real character win for us,” Sundin said. Perth jumped out to an early lead on the first of three goals by Jared Havelock. Havelock finished the game with three goals and one assist.

Blue Wings forward Dan Weir scored his fourth of the season near the end of the first period to increase Perth’s lead by a score of 2-0. Both Perth and Stittsville scored three times in the second period to keep the game at a two-goal advantage for the Blue Wings. Perth’s Haiden Goltz scored his first of the season in the final minutes of play to put the game out of reach for Stittsville. “That was a big goal for us,” Sundin said. Ben Minkus also scored for the Blue Wings, while Mark Vradenburg added four assists. Perth dominated the shot count, outshooting Stittsville 42-20. Blue Wings goaltender Troy Anderson stopped 17 of 20 shots, while Josh Cooper stopped 36 of 42 shots for the Royals. Perth’s next game will be against the Gatineau Mustangs on Oct. 15 at 8 p.m. in Gatineau.

entertainment and door prizes. Since 1965, the Perth Tay Seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Club has been a member of USCO, an organization that is the largest and oldest in Canada. It has representatives to speak to and to work with all levels of the government on behalf of and for the assistance to all seniors. It has already been successful with many improvements and changes that are beneficial to seniors. This is an on-going task. On a national level, USCO is affiliated with the National Pensioners and Senior Citizens Federation. It represents seniors from all over Canada by putting forward their issues and concerns to the federal government. The primary concerns have been to secure improved health care and drug plans for seniors, property and sales tax rebates for seniors, a bill of rights for residents of nursing homes, improved seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; housing, seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; independence so they can remain in their homes, improvements to OHIP and the Old Age Security Program, the Canada Pension Plan and many other relevant issues. On the fourth Wednesday of each month, a fundraising event for the club takes place at noon. Following a light lunch, games of bridge and euchre are played by members and non-members. For more information, please contact the president, Bob Hayes at 613-264-8252. Submitted by Perth Tay Seniors Club.

The Perth Tay Seniors Club has resumed following a summer break. Those aged 55 years and over are warmly invited to attend a meeting and consider becoming a member. The club meets at the Lions Club Hall on the second Wednesday of each month at noon, from September to June. When lunch has finished, a short business meeting is held, and then the highlight of the afternoon begins: musical entertainment and/or a guest speaker. Outings can include an arranged cruise on the Tay River, visiting other seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; clubs, enjoying nearby musical entertainment, attending a strawberry social or some other delightful event. If the distance warrants and carpooling isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feasible, a bus is hired for transportation. In December there will be the annual catered Christmas dinner, at which time members may choose to donate nonperishable food items to the Perth and District Food Bank. In February, the group has a pancake and sausage meal; in March, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for the Irish stew lunch that has become a favourite tradition. Another monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s noon meal of ham and scalloped potatoes prepared by members of the executive has become popular. Each year, a fun-filled day-away rally for all area United Senior Citizens of Ontario (USCO) clubs takes place that includes transportation, a tasty meal,

…from a shop downtown. The shop owner met a friend for lunch at one of Perth’s many fine restaurants. The restaurant owner had earlier picked up flowers from a nearby store to decorate the tables. The flower store owner had her hair done at the beauty salon for a party that evening. The beautician and her husband are going to look at furniture and appliances for their new home. The furniture store owner is about to sponsor a community event to benefit…. And the list goes on.

All because Mary bought a dress. When you shop locally, everyone wins and our local economy only gets better! This message is generously underwritten by
