Tay Valley Township will look at the possibility of allowing ATVs on township roads. The move would legalize what many ATVers – including Reeve Keith Kerr – already do. “If I want to get to a trail, I have to load my ATV into my truck, drive down the road to the trail, and unload it,” Kerr said. A group of residents and members of the Ottawa ATV Club requested that TVT council investigate the possibility of allowing all-terrain vehicles to travel on township roads. The Province of Ontario gave municipalities jurisdiction to decide whether to allow ATVs on local roads in 1999 as a way to bolster tourism. “We would be looking at specific roads to allow this on,” Kerr said. At the committee-of-thewhole meeting on Oct. 12, Kerr suggested that a committee be struck in the new term of council to look at the issue. The committee would include township residents, ATVers and See ‘TVT looks’, Pg. 3

Actor nominated for prestigious award

BY LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@perthcourier.com The lead actor in one of Perth’s Classic Theatre Festival’s inaugural plays has been nominated for a prestigious award. Michael Dufays, who played Bill in The Voice of the Turtle, was nominated as best actor in the Capital Critics Circle. The critical nod comes after the Classic Theatre Festival’s first season of producing professional theatre in the Town of Perth. “It’s really a validation of what we’re trying to do here,” said Laurel Smith, the festival’s founder and artistic producer. The Capital Critics Circle Awards recognize excellence in professional and community English-language theatre and have been given out for 11 years. The critics on this year’s selection committee include the CBC Radio’s Alvina Ruprecht, the Ottawa Citizen’s Patrick Langston and Jamie Portman of Postmedia News. “This is my first nomination for an acting award and I can’t quite describe how good it feels to be appreciated by people other than your friends and your mother,” Dufays wrote in an email. “In a way it feels like I’ve arrived as an acting professional even though I have been a union member for over five years.” The nomination is especially

fulfilling to Dufays because it comes in his hometown of Ottawa, which he left to pursue more acting opportunities available in Toronto. He said he is also pleased that the nomination indicates that the Classic Theatre Festival is already garnering critical attention after only its first year in existence. “I’m also very happy for Laurel and Matthew (Behrens), who

have worked so tirelessly to get their festival off the ground and noticed – something I feel they have accomplished, and in a single season, I might add,” Dufays wrote. Dufays graduated from American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York City. His most recent work includes playing The Officer on the upcoming See ‘Actor nominated’, Pg. 3

BUSY BEES Steve Peters of Perth is garnering some big attention for the tiny subjects he is passionate about: bees. Peters has been using macro photography to capture images of pollonators for five years, and one of his photos was recently chosen to be featured in the 2011 David Suzuki Foundation calendar for the month of May. The image (different than the one seen here) depicts a large leaf-cutter bee facing off against a tiny ground bee. Peters said he hopes his images educate people about the importance of bees in the ecosystem. His photos can be found on www.flickr.com by searching “Northern_Nature.” Steve Peters photo

GRAVEYARD, HAUNTED HOUSE & NEW STATIONS BRING A CARVED PUMPKIN FOR THE CONTEST

BY PERTH COURIER STAFF In Tay Valley Township, there is a threeway election race in Sherbrooke Ward. On Oct. 25, two candidates will be chosen to represent the ward. The councillors (Gail Code and Ken Fournier) representing the second ward, Bathurst, have already been acclaimed. The Reeve, Keith Kerr, and Deputy Reeve, Susan Freeman, were also acclaimed.

Mark Burnham Burnham is looking to return to local politics. He ran for council when the township first amalgamated and served three terms in TVT. Last term, he decided to make a run for the deputy reeve’s seat and was unsuccessful. After a four-year break, he has decided to return. “I thought I’d like to get back into municipal politics,” Burnham said. While he wants to return to council, he said he doesn’t want to seek deputy reeve’s chair because he “has enough on his plate” and doesn’t want the additional burden of county council. Burnham is the chair of Mississippi Valley Conservation and he sits on Conservation Ontario board. While on TVT council, he was a member of library and fire boards. Burnham is a woodworker, and he also works at the car wash in Perth.

Dave Campbell Campbell said his experience working in federal and provincial political parties would help him serve constituents at the municipal level. Campbell declined to say which party he is involved with, but he said he has worked in the local riding. He said his experience and contacts in politics would serve the township well. He is also the past president of the Lanark Federation of Agriculture (from 2004-05). He also sat as a director of the Lanark County Cattleman’s Association. “I’m a strong believer in serving your fellow citizen and community,” he said.

He said it is time to “step up to the plate” and get “new blood” on council. Campbell said that getting more paved roads and ensuring the waste drop-off site remains open are important issues to him. He said councillors need to be out at community events – something he already does.

RoxAnne Darling Darling entered politics in 1992 in Bedford Township (now South Frontenac), where she served for two terms. She was acclaimed in Sherbrooke Ward when she moved here shortly afterwards and she is the only incumbent runnign in the ward. As the operator of Nordlaw Lodge, she sees lake stewardship as an important issue, both environmentally and economically. She started a lake stewardship committee in Bedford and considers herself a front-runner in lake management. She has also served on tourism and fire boards. “My goal is to bring a common-sense voice to the table,” she said. “I’m not afraid to take a stand … and make a decision that needs to be made.” Darling said the township need to do strategic planning to encourage industry to come to the area. “I will actively and aggressively pursue that,” Darling said. She encourages people to call her if they have any issues and she will make sure it comes forward to council.

COUNCIL BRIEFS Perth Council briefs The following matters were discussed by council members during committee-of-the-whole meetings on Oct. 5 and Oct. 12. Council was set to approve these recommendations during its meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 19 (results were not available at press time).

Funding sought for heritage study The idea of designating the downtown core of Perth as a heritage conservation district may be closer to reality. The town will be applying to the recently announced second round of funding for the federal government’s Creative Communities Prosperity Fund, which offers a rare opportunity for the town to receive 80 per cent of the funds needed for the study. Most government programs offer only one-third of the project’s cost. The study is estimated to cost $35,000 and will include community consultations, assessment of properties and the

Valley is still crisscrossed by county roads, which ATVs are not allowed to travel on. Freeman said it is a complex decision and council needs to seek input from the rest of the township’s residents, many of whom are not yet aware of this debate. The township will also have to look at how the change would effect its insurance, Freeman said. The issue previously came to the township in 2003 and the police service board rejected the idea of allowing ATVs on township roads, Freeman said.

2010 Municipal Election

Voters in the Township of Lanark Highlands will cast their votes on a mail-in ballot. This method makes it accessible for both full-time and seasonal township residents and property owners to vote. Voters in LH will also be asked to respond to a plebiscite question: “Do you agree that the deputy mayor should be elected by general vote?” The deputy mayor is currently elected by fellow council members at the first meeting of the new term. If more than 50 per cent of voters answer the question and more than 50 per cent support the question, the change would be enacted in the next election in 2014. In early October, all eligible voters who are on the voters list were to receive a ballot kit containing the ballot, instructions, a voter declaration and a return

creation of a plan that is consistent with the town’s official plan. If the town receives the funding, it would only have to contribute $7,000 towards the project. “I think it is absolutely critical that we do this,” said Coun. Judy Brown, noting that the district would be a way to market the town and attract tourists. Although Mayor John Fenik was absent until the end of the meeting, Shellee Evans, the director of community services, said that Fenik was asked by other mayors why the town didn’t already have a heritage conservation district while he was at a recent conference in Newfoundland for the mayors of municipalities that have won the Prince of Wales Prize for municipal heritage leadership. The town’s portion of the study was pre-approved for the 2011 budget. If the town doesn’t receive the funding, it would discuss the possibility of paying for the entire study during budget time.

Grants proposed for downtown improvement BY LAURA MUELLER laura.mueller@perthcourier.com Offering grants to property owners who invest in improving the look of their buildings made up most of the recommendations for revitalizing downtown Perth in a recently released report. The foundations report on the Community Improvement Plan (CIP) was accepted by council this month and residents will have a chance to comment on the plan during a public open house

tonight: Thursday, Oct. 21 from 7:30 to 9 p.m. in council chambers at town hall. Nine different granting opportunities are presented in the report, suggesting the town could give grants and loans or waive fees for property owners who choose to undertake improvements. Suggested projects include: facade improvement; upper-storey conversion/renovation; landscaping; energy efficiency retrofit; creating a sidewalk cafe or patio; or undertaking improvements that

lead to an increase in tax base (such as creating new apartments). The draft plan also outlines nine recommendations for “municipal leadership programs,” such as the establishment of a CIP review panel to assess applications for financial incentives and review the plan itself. Other ideas presented for municipal leadership include: creating urban design guidelines for downtown Perth, which would help the panel review if financial incentive proposals would be appropriate downtown; a gateway and signage improvement program that would put signs, landscaping and/or other features at major entry points into the downtown core; and a streetscape and other ideas. The report indicated that the town should look at improving its off-street parking lots by beautifying them and broadening the monthly parking pass program to offer more parking opportunities for people living downtown. A waste-management program providing more frequent pick-up service downtown and making bins more readily available to downtown tenants and landlords would help address the issue of curbside garbage dumping, according to the report. Other ideas included and education program to tell people about the benefits of heritage-

building restoration and a marketing, education and communications strategy to inform people about the CIP, particularly landlords and business owners who do not reside in Perth. Another financial incentive for property owners could be a grant program to assist them in undertaking a heritage design or restoration feasibility study, to encourage the continued use of heritage buildings in the downtown. The report offers three examples of other communities that have successful CIPs. In the City of Timmins (population 43,000), approved more than $245,000 in grants for 32 applications representing more than $360,000 in investments by the private sector in the first year of the plan.

Downtown issues The number of retailers in downtown Perth is declining, and their business hours are inconsistent. A lack of boat access is also hurting the downtown, and poor amenities in many rental properties fail to attract higher-income tenants. There is no clear vision for the town, and past improvement schemes have treated businesses inconsistently. Those were the findings after consultants sought feedback in July from residents, business and property owners on what they thought should set the direction of the CIP.

On the positive side, respondents spoke favourably about the heritage character of the downtown and how pedestrian-friendly is it, as well as the beauty of Stewart Park and the planted trees and the consistency of the town’s signs.

Why a CIP? The CIP grew of the downtown revitalization committee comprised of the Town of Perth, the Perth and District Chamber of Commerce, the Downtown Heritage Perth Business Improvement Area (BIA) and the Perth Campus of Algonquin College. The Town of Perth approved $20,000 for the CIP in May of 2010. The study was conducted by consultants from MMM Group. According to the report, the purpose of the plan is to “fill in the gaps” in revitalization efforts by the town and other community groups, to address specific issues or needs, to market and promote the incentives available to downtown property owners, to prioritize the town’s investments in the downtown area and to demonstrate the town’s commitment to ongoing revitalization and improvement. People who are interested but who cannot attend tonight’s meeting can submit written comments to Eric Cosens, the director of planning, by emailing ecosens@perth.ca by Nov. 4.

Food bank offers Haggart dams can’t be removed: RVCA home delivery BY LAURA MUELLER

laura.mueller@perthcourier.com

The Perth and District Food Bank is very pleased to announce the launch of a new delivery service in the community on Tuesdays and Thursdays beginning Nov. 2. The food bank wants to provide its essential service to people when and where they need it most. “We feel that there is a significant number of area residents who we are not reaching either because they cannot get to the food bank, or because they cannot carry the groceries home,” stated Samantha Davidson, the food bank’s director of operations. “A three-day emergency supply of food for a family can be an impossibly heavy load, especially during the winter with children in tow.” Many of the food bank clients face challenges such as disabilities that limit their mobility, or mental health conditions, Davidson stated. If you need to have an emergency food basket delivered, call the food bank to register at 613-2676428. Or, if you know someone who could benefit from this service please encourage them to reach out to the food bank. The food bank will be asking that clients call in their food orders on Tuesday and Thursday mornings between 10 a.m. and noon. Deliveries will arrive at homes between 1 and 3 p.m. Criteria for eligibility for delivery service can range from short-term illness, lack of transportation, to long-term mental and/or physical disabilities. Clients are asked to come to the food bank if they are able, but the food bank will gladly help if clients are not able to come. The Perth and District Food Bank is a service that is open to all residents of the Town of Perth, Tay Valley Township, Drummond North/Elmsley and Lanark Highlands. Clients do not have to be receiving any form of social assistance to be eligible for service and there is no proof of income required. The food bank is open to walk- in clients on Mondays and Fridays from 1 to 3 p.m. and Wednesdays from 5 to 7 p.m. If you are unable to come in during these times for any reason, call the director of operations at 613-267-6428 to make arrangements. If you would like to volunteer as a driver or as driving partner (volunteers will go to visits in pairs) call Davidson at the food bank. Submitted by the Perth and District Food Bank.

Removing the old Haggart dams is not an option, council has been told. Bruce Reid presented the findings of a Rideau Valley Conservation Authority study looking at options for two deteriorating weirs on the Tay River. One option is to remove the either one or both of the dams entirely. While that might save on costs, it would also impact or reduce the habitat of sensitive species, including the stink pot turtle, Reid told council. Repairs for the smaller weir alone

could cost in the neighbourhood of $300,000, but Mayor John Fenik said there is “room here for lots of parties to come to the table,” including groups and government agencies interested in protecting species at risk. Renovations to the smaller dam would also necessitatethe reconstruction of the Rainbow Bridge. Stage two of the repairs – fixing the larger weir – which Reid suggested could take place in the next three to five years, would cost an additional $600,000. The dams determine the amount of water that goes into the Tay and Little

Tay rivers, Reid said. Removing the dams would cause the Little Tay to go dry during times of lower flows. Changing the flow could also put properties at increased risk for flooding. According to a 2007 RVCA report, the current Haggart Island dams were constructed in approximately 1971. These dams are comprised of two separate weirs – the Haggart Island Dam and the Tay Road Dam. But Reid told council that the dams have been in place on the Tay River “in some form or another” for 200 years. They originally provided power for mills on the Tay River.

EDITORIAL OUR OPINION

The power of one vote

ne ballot may not seem very powerful. It’s a small slip of paper, or in today’s tech-wise world, it’s not even that – just a mere click of the mouse. But if everyone voted responsibly, our politicians would have no choice but to listen. Everyone lives his or her life based on a a set of personal experiences and beliefs that can’t help but colour the way we view our world. But personal bias can also tarnish our view. It can strip away that most precious attribute of humanity – empathy. The secret to creating strong government – whether federal, provincial or municipal – is to understand the simple concept of common good. Life is not an individual endeavour. It is human nature to want, and to need, interaction with others. When hard times befall us, we want the support of our community. We should be prepared to give the same. But sometimes we get tainted by the politics of fear. Desperate politicians know it will have impact. It is in their best interest to prod us to operate on fear: fear of losing one’s job, home, loved ones, material possessions from guns to land, or freedom itself. The minute you fall for that manic message is when you have truly lost your freedom. That is when you are controlled.Voters can’t always be experts on broad provincial or federal matters. But municipally, we, the citizens, are indeed the experts. We know the services we use and need. Too often we’re just too darn lazy to vote. It’s far easier to let the election slide by and then gripe afterwards. It clears us of blame because we simply aren’t accountable. Don’t be fooled. You will pay. You will pay taxes. You will pay water bills. You will pay user fees. And you and your family will always hurt when the broader community hurts. So care enough to care. Care enough to vote. Tell us what you think.

LH needs weeding in the council garden

Local Landmark In this space each week, we will feature a photo of local interest. Be the first to correctly identify the location or item in the picture by emailing editor@perthcourier.com with the subject line, “Local Landmark,” and your name will be printed in next week’s paper! Brenda Hutchinson was the first to correctly identify last week’s landmark as the Beckwith Street Bridge. The historic swing bridge is finally undergoing repairs and will be re-opened to traffic by mid-November, according to Grant Machan, the town’s director of environmental services. The moveable part of the bridge was to be returned this week and wooden decking installed. Groups are arguing over who has the responsibility to destroy this week’s landmark.

Dear Editor: I recently read about the outrageous and disgusting behaviour of Messrs. McLaren and Stewart and how they walked out of Lanark Highlands council chambers ignoring our national anthem and flag. They are running for office but should just be running … away! Their actions are a grave insult to not only the residents of the Highlands but also to our national anthem, our flag, our country, and to the brave and proud members of the armed services who protect us from our aggressors.

This pair has, in my opinion, just insulted all the young people who have died in the service of our nation. They are intending to seek election on our council as our leaders. Well I have no use for anyone who behaves in the way they have done and would not give them my vote for street sweeper or dog catcher. My advice, for what it is worth, is that they should both dig a hole and hide. I wonder if they would volunteer to go to Afghanistan and fight beside real people because I and a great number of our loyal

residents do not want leaders like them. I recently retired from the bench and built a home in Lanark Highlands and thought how fortunate I was to be able to retire to Lanark (my birthplace is the town of Lanark in Scotland). Regardless of what two of our residents think or have disgraced us with, I still think this is a great place to be. But, we the people seriously need to do some weeding in our council garden. Hon. Bruce R.H. Monteith, Lanark Highlands

UN decision shows Grit influence Dear Editor: Re: Canada losing United Nations security council seat. Over the last year I have been disappointed with Michael Ignatieff and the Liberal Party. I did not see any leadership nor did I feel any inspiration in Liberal policies. I felt that Mr. Ignatieff has had little impact in our country and on

the world stage. However, I am now reconsidering. The Conservative Party has convinced me that Mr. Ignatieff is indeed an international power house. His comments influenced a large majority of nations and single-handedly led to the defeat of Canada’s bid for a security council seat. Obviously, Mr. Ignatieff

deserves my respect as a key player internationally with much more influence than all the Conservative delegations that lobbied so hard for the post. Thanks go to Mr. Harper and the Conservative team for convincing me that Michael is such an important figure. André Frommer, Perth

ou may have noticed I have been oddly silent about running these days. About that... When people ask, “How’s the running going?” I would love to say “Great!” or “I’m up to 22 kilometre each time,” but the truth is more like “Sporadic at best.” I have learned a lot in this running journey. My most recent discovery is the line between running enough and not running enough. It took months for me to build up my strength and endurance to the point it felt good to do 5 km each time. I’m not one for races or for going vastly long distances, but doing 5 km without feeling breathlessness or pain and without needing ice, ibuprofen or A535 was a victory. I felt great when I finished, and that was success. I discovered that even if you get off your routine a bit, it takes a long time for all the strength you’ve built up to diminish. In fact, sometimes running was even better after a rest period. I was amazed how when I missed running for three weeks in the summer due to holidays and various other things, my body could still go that distance without any trouble. You can only push your luck for so long, though. The start of the big trouble was mid-September. I was still running, but not two or three times per week as before. Even so, I wasn’t intimidated by the 5 km I planned to do for the Terry Fox Run. In fact, I was really looking forward to it because I had pledged that this year I would run the whole thing for the first time ever. A few days before the big day

Stephanie

GRAY Past Deadline I was a little sniffly, which I attributed to some mild allergies I sometimes encounter in the fall. I didn’t think it would affect my run in any great way. Can you guess where this is going? Run day arrived. I was part of a team and we congregated and set off. Right off the start I was in trouble. Weird trouble. I couldn’t catch my breath. That hadn’t happened since the early, building-up days. What the heck? By the time I reached the halfway point I was really struggling. I wanted to stop and walk, but I was too stubborn. There was an argument in my head: “Walk for a bit – catch your breath,” said the sensible one. “No! I am running this route!” said the psychobananahead runner. “You’re wheezing.” “Shut up, wimp. It’s the wind.” “Your chest hurts like it is on fire.” “Run through the pain! It’s not a heart attack, just a fire.”

(Sometimes runners are idiots.) “You feel awful. Stop running, moron.” “It’s only 5 km! My usual 5 km! I can do this. I want to run with the team.” At about the 3 km mark, the Voice of Reason broke into my head, which turned out to be one of my running mates announcing she was going to walk for a bit. I nearly hugged her. Possibly she was alarmed by my wheezing and realized I was too stubborn to stop on my own accord. Whatever the reason, it was a good thing. We walked a good while and ran the last few hundred metres. Then I spent the next several hours coughing in an I-thinkI-might-be-dying kind of way before I realized the sniffles I had been experiencing were, in fact, the start of a chest cold that afflicted me for nearly two weeks. I didn’t run again in September and I’ve only run two or three times so far this month. And that, apparently, is the line. I have officially crossed from building up and maintaining my running strength into regressing and having to rebuild. Now when I run I breathe like a freight train. (It’s so glamorous.) My legs feel lead-like. My knees and some small angry muscles sometimes voice their opinions, which hasn’t happened since the early days. Worst of all, 3 km is about all I can muster. Sigh. A key component to the rebuilding is to turn up the music so I can’t hear the discouraging sound of my own breathing. Ibuprofen is on standby. Maybe NEXT year I’ll finally run the whole Terry Fox route.

OPINIONS LETTERS

The short goodbye

Back it up with I facts and figures Dear Editor: A certain Paul Waite of Perth, Ont. wrote in last week’s Courier that Perth “… spent several thousand dollars,” on a trip to Perth, Scotland. This could be alarming information; however, anybody can throw accusations around in a letter to the editor. But a truly responsible letter writer would back up his accusations with solid facts and numbers. Why does the editor print such irresponsible gossip? Doug Smith, Perth Editor’s note: As reported in the Courier on July 1: “The Town of Perth budgeted $5,500 for the trip, with some members of the delegation covering part or all of their expenses.”

t seems that almost overnight, the issues of Highway 7 construction and commuting have become a reality for me, instead of just a reporting concern. Yes, for the next little while, I have become a commuter. And that also means I am saying a very painful goodbye to the Courier. It’s difficult for me to think about moving on from this amazing community and this spectacular little paper that I have called home for almost two years, but it’s even more difficult to imagine never having worked here at all. My time in Perth has been tremendous – I have met so many friendly, welcoming and engaged people, and I have seen the difference that a true community and volunteer spirit can make. It’s something I can readily admit I will be hard-pressed to find in the city. But opportunity beckons, and in the name of career advancement, I had to answer. I will be reporting on Ottawa city hall, as well as issues in federal and provincial politics. Anyone who knows me well would tell you that this is my dream job. I get to combine my passion for local government, urban planning and politics with my love of community newspapers (I will be reporting for the soon-to-launch Ottawa This Week group of newspapers, owned by Metroland Media Group – Ottawa Division – the same company that owns the Courier). But it’s a change that has happened so quickly, I haven’t had a chance to properly digest the fact that I won’t be working in Perth anymore. I was one of the typical visi-

Laura

MUELLER Private “I” tors to Perth who only knew the town from commercial strip along Highway 7. But as soon as I drove down Wilson Street and came to the downtown, I fell in love. While I am told I cannot consider myself a Perthite for another 10 years (or 20, depending on who you ask), the people in this area have really made me feel at home here. From the Polar Plunge to a particularly feisty Lanark Highlands council meeting, I have enjoyed every moment in this town and the surrounding townships. Although this change has come upon me so quickly that I haven’t had a chance to personally tell everyone I know that I am leaving, I cannot thank all of you enough for your help and hospitality towards me. I am so proud to say I have lived in Perth, and I will carry the message of this wonderful town with me wherever I go. I see great potential for tourism and economic development here, particularly surrounding the Classic Theatre Festival.

I’ve told many people that Perth reminds me of a more down-to-earth version of my hometown, Niagara-on-the-Lake, and I sincerely hope Perth never loses that charm. But I also hope that when I visit (and I certainly will), I will be greeted by a more vibrant, inviting and culturally rich community each time I return. For those of you who’d like to get in touch, I can still be reached at the same email address. Story ideas, submissions and correspondence for The Perth Courier should be directed to editor@perthcourier.com, or call my colleague Andrew Snook at the office (and please be kind to him!). Thank you for everything, Perth, and please do “Make Haste Slowly.”

A change of plans

ust as I was getting excited about a trip to Vancouver for my best friend’s 80th birthday, already packing necessities into my lovely new sapphire blue suitcase, the telephone rang to say that dear husb’s second replacement knee operation has reached the top of the waiting list and is scheduled for next month. So it rather looks as if trips out west will have to be on hold for a while. Ah well, at least we have a reasonable health service, unlike one not too distant country I could mention. He’s been dependant on shots of cortisone lately to see him hobbling through the day, but the pain has been troubling him more and more and it’s a great relief that at last the time has come to tackle the problem. Having had one knee replacement myself, I know it’s a bit of a drag having to go through all those visits and exercises, although I really enjoyed trundling around behind a

walker for a while, kindly supplied on loan from the Civitan club. In fact, now that my hips are getting a bit wobbly, I’m seriously thinking about buying a nice, bright, all-purpose model for permanent use in my old age. When I look out of the car at all those splendid sidewalks going in along Wilson Street, I can just see myself zipping up to the shops, maybe even coasting downhill a bit (steady Bet!) when the job is done. And, bumpy as things are as I write this, they do seem to be doing a good, steady job of road improvement, whatever you poor folk alongside it may feel. So roll on November when they tell us it will all be smooth and beautiful and finished. But I started out with nearest and dearest’s immobilization in mind which, since I don’t drive and haven’t yet got a fancy walker, means that we’ll be dependent on others to get us out and about for a while. Since dear husb is a volunteer driver

Betty

BENDELL Settled In for Home Support, he’ll be missed by them but at least we know that help is out there – something other oldies should be aware of if they end up housebound. We all know about Meals on Wheels – what a good idea that has turned out to be! But for a reasonable sum you can also be

driven to medical appointments, etc., by local folk via a telephone call to Home Support. Aren’t we lucky to live here in Perth where all these amenities are so readily available? I wish my husband’s operation was being tackled locally but, alas, due to past complications after surgery, it will be done at the General in Ottawa. So yesterday, off we went there for his preliminaries. I thought I’d be company for him and we could treat ourselves to a fancy lunch on the way home. His appointment was for 12:30 p.m. so we grabbed a cup of coffee en route, parked around the back in the $13.50 parking lot and headed for the entrance. What a place it is! Rather like a major railway terminal with folk bustling about in all directions. We found the correct waiting room without too much trouble and I settled down to do my daily crossword puzzle while he was whisked off for x-rays and blood samples and all sorts of other things which went on and on

and on until, three hours later, I slipped out into the crowded corridor to look for a place to eat. Below me, via the escalator, I could see folk sitting at tables sipping coffee so I headed there but, after wandering through a maze of tables, I could only find snacks. Then I saw another cafeteria notice in the distance and headed to a massive canteen. Where, alas, the cooked foods were covered over and the best I could find was a slice of pizza. Then back to the original waiting room (did I mention that I have almost no sense of direction?) where at last I caught sight of dear husb limping from one interview to another. Since it was now around 4 p.m. and he’s a bit of a foodie, I managed to lob half my pizza slice in his direction before settling down to yet another crossword puzzle. Finally we were free to join the really slow rush hour traffic home. Not the greatest day of our lives, but at least step one is over. 421030

Perth Fire Department Safety Tips • The department conducted its annual “Smoke Alarm Blitz” last Wednesday evening. If a representative of the Department didn’t visit your home and you require assistance changing batteries, or need information regarding smoke alarms, don’t hesitate

to contact the number below. • It is recommended to change your smoke alarms every ten years. • A working smoke alarm and an effective escape plan are crucial in surviving a fire in your home. You should always have two ways out and have a meeting place so that everyone can be accounted for. Make sure to practice your escape. • Keep hallways, stairwells and doors leading to the outside clear. Cluttered or blocked exits could make the difference of surviving a fire in your apartment or house. • Keep a close eye on the stove while you’re cooking and don’t keep combustible items on or near it. Kitchen fires are the number one cause of house fires in the province. • Install carbon monoxide alarms in your homes to detect this deadly gas. • The Fire Department recommends that all home owners have heating systems serviced annually. Faulty furnaces not only waste energy, but pose a fire and carbon monoxide hazard. • Wood burning appliances, as well as all chimneys, should be inspected by qualified contractors, to ensure all components are in good working condition. Use metal pails for ashes. • Fire prevention is the key; do your part to help make Perth a safe place to live, work, and play. Questions can be directed to the Perth Fire Department at 267-5574.

Owned by the Ontario Heritage Trust, Inge-Va is operated by a volunteer board of management appointed by the Town of Perth to preserve this elegant old stone home, which has played such an important part in Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rich history. The Ghost Walk of Perth will be held on Friday, October 29, at 7 p.m., foul weather or fair. Tickets are $10 per adult, $5 per child (maximum $25 per family), and can be reserved by calling 613-2672595. Proceeds from the evening will go towards the support of Inge-Va.

Have you ever met a ghost on the streets of Perth? On Friday, Oct. 29 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just in time for Halloween â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you just might meet one or two on the annual Ghost Walk of Perth in support of the Perth historic home, IngeVa (where the victim of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last fatal duel lived). Other tortured souls who clamour to have their stories told include a murderer who swung from the courthouse gallows, a ferryman who demanded deadly tolls, and a cursed woman who forever roams the hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s halls. Long known as a picturesque town of tree-lined streets and historic homes, Perth also has its fair share of spooks. Even Matheson House, home to the Perth Museum, has a shadowy resident who is more at home in the nineteenth century than the twentieth. Susan Code, local historian and author, will lead the approximately 90-minute walk. People are asked to meet (in costume, if they wish) by 7 p.m.

WE’VE GOT YOU COVERED

house at the Sullivan’s Shakey Acres House Concert at Bennett Lake. It’s always refreshing to hear Weekes and stories of her adventures in the Yukon, a recent tour in Ireland, mushing her dog team or paddling far north rivers. This soft-spoken lass has found an inner vocal strength that sells both her sincerity and serenity. Her mom, Carolyn Stewart’s, accompaniment on fiddle and background vocals added a tasty mix to the evening. Weekes is heading off to China next, and I’m already looking forward to the musical stories that will return or be inspired by her time there. Toronto’s Juno-Award winning blues piano wizard Julian Fauth, backed by James Thompson on stand-up bass were a real delight, featured at the Findlay House Concert in Carleton Place. The 1930s and 40s vintage and Fauth’s own vintage-style songs were hauntingly able to transport us back to those delta roots. The minimalism of just acoustic piano and bass – no electrics – seemed to only underline the authenticity of the style. Fauth’s barrelhouse jazz style offers a whole different aspect of the blues tradition. I’ve heard these two together for a couple of years and they’ve become a really tight team, playing off each other’s styles. I hope they come to Perth soon to win over even more fans. Last week I got my double Keith Glass “fix” as he filled in at O’Reilly’s for Brock Zeman, who is touring out west. Anyone who enjoys guitar would be impressed with his multiple styles, versatile riffs and fills. Doubling the pleasure, on Sunday afternoon at the Black Sheep Inn in Wakefield, Que.

For tickets and more information, contact carthur@ripnet.com. Saturday, Nov. 27: The amazing Nonie Crete arrives at Music On McLean House Concerts. Crete is a musical and storytelling force to be reckoned with. From heady blues and Irish balladry to Cajun and French Canadian hues, Crete seamlessly traverses genre with an execution only matched by her uncanny ability to explore equally diverse lyrical themes. Whether upbeat, sorrowful, poignant or whimsical, Crete’s songs reach into the landscape of the heart – family, community, memory, discovery, love and loss – woven together by her stunningly beautiful voice.

The Lanark County Grannies are once again hosting an evening of fun and Christmas shopping on Friday, Nov. 19 from 5 to 8:30 p.m. at the Royal Canadian Legion Hall, Branch 244 in Perth (26 Beckwith St. E.). The ceramic Kazuri African jewelry on sale at this event is handmade and hand-painted by Kenyan women whose sole source of income to support their children is from the sale of this jewelry. Additional proceeds will go to the Stephen Lewis Foundation via the Grandmother to Grandmother Campaign. The campaign is aimed at supporting African grandmothers who are left to care for their grandchildren who have been orphaned by AIDS. Several jewelry sales will take place across Canada this fall, and Perth is proud to be among them for a very successful third year. Please join us for this exciting evening, have fun, and get started on your Christmas shopping! For information, contact Diana Bracegirdle 613-264-1025 or email dmoon@superaje.com.

charge of the room during her stint at the mike, as did Michelle and John Law (The Laws) with their sweet harmonies. I’d be remiss if I didn’t recognize Don Reed’s fiddle work. This three-time North American fiddle champ stays back in the shadows, but, like Glass, always has the right riff to enhance any tune. As a finale, all came on stage to perform a song called “Healing Wall Waltz” written especially for the event by Wheatley, The Laws and Jim Gordon this past spring in Florida. Again, Glass’s guitar work added creative riffs to italicize the magic of the moment. I’m sure that song brought to everyone’s mind someone they knew who had been challenged by cancer … a fitting conclusion to a terrific afternoon for a great cause. So, thanks to a little driving, a whole lot of wonderful musicians kept my live music fix satisfied. Have a look around and you, too, can be enthralled by all the great live music out there, up close and personal.

where he and his partner, Erin Driscoll, joined Katherine Wheatley, The Laws, Kelli Trottier, Geoff Horrocks, Don Reed and James Stephens for a fundraiser in aid of the Queensway-Carleton Hospital Healing Garden. Driscoll’s original music was impressive, especially with Glass sitting back and letting her rightfully shine on her own accord, and shine she did. It was a spectacular afternoon, especially with the sun highlighting all the wonderful colours from the hill on the other side of the Gatineau River, complete with sailing craft flouncing about. Glass was asked to add his tender touches to all the other artists at some point in their performances. One of the most memorable was Trottier’s version of Laurie Lewis’s song, “Who Will Watch the Home Place” with keys and backing vocals by Horrocks, while Glass added tasty guitar and harmony vocals. You could have heard a pin drop and I know I wasn’t the only one with damp eyes. Wheatley shared her heartfelt, emotionally charged compositions well enough to take

’ve been spending what seems like a lot of time in my car recently, whether through work, visiting or my constant quest for live music. Here are a few brief road encounters that were memorable I thought I’d share. An otherwise rainy Sunday afternoon was positively tempered in McDonalds Corners recently by the sincerity and passionate solo effort of Toronto’s Jon Brooks. This multi-award winner recently received a 2010 Kerrville Folk Festival (Texas) Songwriting Award. He’s also the proud winner of the 2008 Mac Beattie Porcupine Award (for musicians who are proud to be identifiably Canadian). This award is handed out by Steve Fruitman of CIUT FM (University of Toronto Radio) who hosts the weekly “Back to the Sugar Camp,” recognizing north-of-the-49th musicians in various categories. Beattie was an Ottawa Valley songwriting hero who wrote many songs about events and tragedies throughout the valley, hence the award being named in his honour. A side note is that locally raised musician (who is now calling the Yukon home) Kate Weekes won the same award in 2007. (More on her later.) Brooks is a folk singer in the truest sense. He writes and performs with a conscience that captivates, challenges and offers hope to those who take the time to listen. He started studying jazz piano, moved on to a writing career for a while but was challenged by an old writer friend, Austin Clarke, to take his thoughts and causes and put them to music. He pulled out his guitar and has been doing so ever since. There aren’t any fluffy love songs here. Brooks states he doesn’t write happy songs but rather hopeful songs, where he offers opportunity to help make this a better world. Oh, he admits to revealing a wound or two, but the overall result if definitely upbeat. His voice and writing have been compared to Steve Earle, Bruce Cockburn, and Leonard Cohen in his descriptive vision focusing on social justice. I especially enjoy Brooks live, where his passion is most evident. As I walked into my folks’ home outside Orillia recently, I was instantly transported back to Perth via their stereo, as they had on a Clay Young CD recorded at the atrium in Code’s Mill. Mom and dad play this disc almost daily, loving the virtuosity of Young’s piano style. They are not travelling too far these days, so his music takes them back to one of their favourite Perth locales, all via music. Yes, music is magic. You can catch Young and guests at Fiddlehead’s for their Sunday brunch. Always enjoyable. Weekes thrilled a nearly full

Spartans fundraise for maternal health Thousands of women around the world give birth each day without the comfort of hospital beds or the care of doctors. Babies are born on the dirt floor of their family’s hut while an older sister dabs her mother’s head with a damp rag. In Africa, the risk that a woman will die during child birth is one in 30, simply because they lack the necessary medical care and sanitary environment. Among the United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals (eight anti-poverty goals around which the St. John Catholic High School Justice Action Committee bases its activities) is a goal to improve maternal health in developing countries; more specifically, by making access to reproductive health care universal and reducing the maternal mortality ratio by three quarters – all of this to be achieved by 2015. The Justice Action Committee (JAC) organized a barbecue last Friday at lunch to raise money for maternal birthing kits. The kits will contain such simple things as a plastic sheet to cover the floor, gloves, ties for the baby’s umbilical cord and scalpel blades. Priced at only $2 each, the kits will go a long way to improving maternal health in povertystricken countries around the

Carleton Place High School on Thursday Oct. 14. The girls played at home with a grand score of 30-19. The boys traveled to CP, defeating the Bears in a five-match game. The day before, our cross country team traveled to Almonte, where they had an excellent run with several top-10 finishes. Go Spartans go!

We all too often perceive that only bad-news stories get the big coverage: catastrophe, chaos and crime. This got the “biggeststory” treatment in spite of the fact it is good news – or just maybe, because it is. Secondly, there was room for overt religious symbol and spiritual expression. No one thought it odd that a Gideon Bible should rate as valid, vital equipment for the trapped men. No one thought it out of place to kneel and make the sign of the cross as the first act at liberty. (On the other hand, none was criticized for omitting the gesture.) The word “miracle” was openly

spoken. Why not? Looking at that wide, wild, wasted landscape and asking, “How does one know where to use resources and time to sink a vertical shaft?” you know why. We might take a lesson in our smug post-enlightenment, frown-on-faith culture, where our “Big Question” tends to be, “Should we keep ‘God keep our land’?” Thirdly, the universal attention paid to this event reminds us (especially when some people today try to exploit differences) of our common humanity. Take a look at the Google Earth satellite picture and scrub the borders. That’s how God sees the created world. It is not denying love of country to say we ought not employ God as a booster of nationalism. Finally, something was done that represents the heart of Christian faith. Imagine what it was like for those men who had endured fear, entrapment and gloom, “in darkness and the shadow of death,” when they were joined by several brave and dedicated healers and technicians from above, who came down among them. In this presence, their hope must have been raised greatly – even before their actual rescue. Let this illustrate for us the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh, who has dwelt among us full of grace and truth, to save.

I learned once in high school that “they mine copper in Chile.” I promptly forgot the fact after passing the geography exam by recalling “Ch=Cu” or some such aide-memoire. Since midsummer, how more immediate, pertinent and alive that lesson seems! During the months-long drama of rescuing 33 miners from the Chilean copper and gold mine – and especially in the days as their rescue approached, most people were riveted to their media outlets. The story is too well-known to dwell here on the details. The future is less understood. Will the other rescued men turn out to be sufficiently prepared for the effects both of trauma and publicity? Will the other miners, laid off without pensions, turn out to be the real victims? Will some elevator company put in a proposal to make the site a tourist destination? Still, it may behoove a pastor and preacher to offer some theological reflection. As a pastor I get one point, and, of course, three more points as a preacher. Firstly, this is good news! Or, as the old English term has it, “gospel.” Yes, there are economic consequences for the rest of the workers. It is still a good-news story. Yes, there will be investigations and repercussions around shoddy conditions and practices. It is still a good-news story.

LOOKING BACK 25 years ago

Perth Blue Wings are back on track

he Perth Blue Wings had their future decided last Friday at a meeting of the Blue Wings executive when a decision was made to continue operating the team for another season. Blue Wings general manager Jim Buchanan said the executive decided to keep the club operational for the remainder of the year rather than have the club fold. Buchanan said the decision was made even though the turnout of players for the practice held the same evening was “not a big success.” The announcement that the team was on the verge of collapse came early last week when the organization was given 11 days to form a team, a grace period granted by the Eastern Ontario Junior B Hockey Association. The Wings faced collapse after the firing of the head coach and a substantial drop in the number of players attending team practices. Buchanan said he hopes an open practice scheduled for Oct. 16 will draw local players to the team. He will continue to coach the Wings in regular-season play until a replacement can be found.

North Street residents want bypass About 40 North Street residents assembled in the basement of St. Andrew’s church last Wednesday to vent their frustrations about a proposal to use North Street as a major truck route. The meeting was conducted by Dr. James Walsh, a resident of North Street, who introduced several other speakers including Steve Cross and Tony Rubino. Cross is the chairman of the Drummond Street residents committee, which is fighting the proposed widening of Drummond Street. Rubino is also on the Drummond Street committee and operates a legal practice in Perth. “I share your concerns about what’s going to happen to our street,” stated Walsh as he addressed the meeting. The concerns of the residents stemmed from a 1981 traffic study of Perth conducted by DelCan Engineers and Planners, of Ottawa. The study stipulates the town should extend Rogers Road to North Street and widen North

Street to allow for the greater flow of traffic created by the extension of Rogers Road. According to the Perth works commission, all roads must be a minimum of 28 feet wide, which would mean widening the street. The report proposed the upgrading of North Street from the Rogers Road extension east to Wilson Street in order to accept trucks and transports coming from Rogers Road and travelling east on Wilson Street. The report recommended that North Street be upgraded from Sherbrooke Street to Drummond Street and that the street be designated a truck route and bypass from Hwy. 43. According to Walsh, a committee of concerned individuals approached town council about the proposed traffic route and the committee was assured no plans were being put forward to make North Street a truck route. In a notice delivered to the residents of North Street, Cross stated the Drummond Street Committee is against the establishment of any truck route along any residential street.

Prosperous year for Perthites

ost people in Lanark County were well off last year and showed it in the way they spent their money. It stood out most clearly in their purchasing of food, their bill in this direction totalling a huge $10,284,000. With more money in their pockets, thanks to better earnings in 1959, they proceeded to demonstrate the fact through increased spending generally. Most retail divisions profited as a result, according to the copyrighted findings of Sales Management, which has released its annual report showing how the average householder locally and in other parts of Canada and the United States spent his retail dollar. The $10,284,000 tab for food in Lanark County covered expenditures made in butcher shops, grocery stores, supermarkets, bakeries and other stores that sell food for home preparation consumption. The amount was exclusive of the money spent for on-thepremises eating and drinking in restaurants and at refreshment places. It represented 21 cents out of every dollar spent during the year in all the local retail stores. In Lanark County, the year’s food bill, if spread uniformly among the local population would be equivalent to $943 per household. Other retail lines also profited from the big spending in 1959. Stores selling automobiles, motorcycles, passenger trailers and automotive parts had receipts totalling $8,046,000, the report shows. That was equal to 17 cents of every dollar spent at retail locally. Sales of general merchandise, in variety and department stores, came to $7,807,000 or 16 cents of the dollar. Home furnishings establishments accounted for $1,466,000 or three cents. Specialty and apparel shops had receipts of $2,128,000, equal to more than four cents.

Vehicle destroyed by fire A 1960 station wagon owned by Dr. Ralph Fish, veterinarian, was destroyed by fire at his home, Harris Street, about 7:15 Wednes-

day morning. The fire was discovered by Rickey, aged four years, when he came downstairs and noticed smoke coming into the house from the adjoining garage. After Rickey notified his parents, an alarm was turned in, and on the arrival of the firemen, the garage door was forced open and the station wagon hauled out onto the driveway. The interior of the vehicle was badly charred and some equipment was destroyed in the back seat. The loss is estimated at $4,000. The origin of the fire is a mystery, as everything appeared in order when Dr. Fish put his car in the garage on Tuesday night.

A letter was received from the Stonewood Sales Inc., Port Credit, Ont., stating that Mr. Tedman of Burgess, McLean and MacPhayden, Ottawa, requested them to write to the Perth and District Collegiate Board regarding their Stonewood flooring material. The firm understood that through a flooding condition the gymnasium floor has to be replaced and the board was anxious to obtain a permanent type of flooring that will not lift or buckle under any condition. The architect has requested the company to make a sample showing of the Stonewood tile grouted in a cement slab. The secretary was instructed to obtain the estimated cost of installing a Stonewood floor in the Jack Thomas named gymnasium and also investigate where similar installations have citizen of the year Radio station CJET at Smiths been made in the Ottawa Valley.

Solution proposed for PDCI gym floor

A solution for a permanent floor in the gymnasium may be solved by the Perth and District Collegiate Institute Board, it was learned at a meeting of the board last Friday night.

“We are in favour of a bypass which would not affect any residential area,” he said. He also went on to say that a bypass has been discussed by many councils for many years and nothing concrete has ever come of these discussions. “We feel that it is time to stop talking and do something about it,” noted Cross.

Candidates gear for November elections Another candidate has announced his intentions to run for the office of mayor in the Nov. 12 municipal elections. Reeve Tony Noonan announced Tuesday that he will throw his hat in the ring and compete with Lowell Yorke and councillors Charles Montgomery, Phil Aston and Bill Armstrong for the mayor’s chair. As of Tuesday, 23 Perth residents, including the above, had taken out nomination papers for various public offices, including mayor, reeve, councillor, board of education trustee and public utilities commissioner. Those candidates who have declared their intention to run for town council include Terry Stewart, Brad Kyle, Bill White, Lana March, Rev. Gordon Smyth and Eric Devlin. So far, only one person has stated his intention to run for the office of reeve, and that is DeputyReeve Frank Mahon. Three people have put forward their names for the position of commissioner on the public utilities commission: Doug James, Bill Warren and John Brankin. There are four candidates slated for the position of trustee on the public and separate school boards. These include Glenn Blanchard, John McLean, Joe Ryan and Art Flemming. Nomination papers were also taken by Bob Butterworth, Gary Horne, Kurt Scrivens and Norm Turner, but they were unavailable for comment to determine what offices they were running for.

Property maintenance bylaw passed Property owners in Perth could face fines up to $500 if they fail to comply with the amended property maintenance bylaw, passed last week at a regular town council meeting. The bylaw document, which amends an existing property maintenance document, allows for the appointment of a property standards officer who would be responsible for administering and enforcing the measures in the bylaw.

The officer, Tom Gallagher, the town building inspector, will be inspecting all buildings, including private residences, in Perth to ensure that ice and snow buildup does not pose a threat to citizens. The bylaw also includes an amendment that deals with general maintenance of all buildings. Infractions of the bylaw include dangerous wood, bricks, roofing and antennas, as well as ice and snow buildup. The two-and-a-half-page document includes measures for emergency situations and allows the officer to take immediate steps to contain a hazardous situation. The officer can take steps to alleviate the threat without notifying the property owner. In a case where danger to the public has not yet reached emergency status, the property owner will be informed of the problem and will be ordered to correct or remove the dangerous situation. If the owner fails to comply with the order within a specified length of time, a fine of up to $500 a day can be levied against the property owner. The amendment to the existing bylaw was brought about as a result of the death of an infant girl last winter. Jenna-Marie Bowers was struck on the head by a large chunk of ice and snow that slid off a rooftop on the main street of Perth. The infant died as a result of the accident. Town councillor Phil Aston said at the council meeting that, “We should see that this type of occurrence doesn’t happen again.” The parents of the child, Bryan and Donna-Marie Bowers, voiced their support of the bylaw amendments last week. “It’s really good. It shows farreaching powers and shows that council is concerned for everyone’s safety,” said Bryan Bowers.

Volleying their way to victory BY ANDREW SNOOK andrew.snook@perthcourier.com For the Perth and District Collegiate Institute’s (PDCI) senior boys’ volleyball team, the letter “V” has not just stood for volleyball, it has stood for victory. The team earned an impressive second-place finish at a tournament held at the Royal Military College of Canada (RMCC) on Sunday, Sept. 26 and has won two of its first three games this year. Two of the members of that team, Colin Francey, 17, and Brock Ogilvie, 17, are confident that more wins are soon to come. “The coach of RMCC came up and told us we have a pretty good team,” Francey said. “We’re pretty confident; I think we’re going

to do well.” Francey said that he has enjoyed playing volleyball since Grade 6, when one of his cousins got him interested in the sport. He said that his favourite aspect of the game is that it is extremely team-oriented. “The saying that you’re only as strong as your weakest link is true,” Francey said. Ogilvie decided to try playing competitively for the first time this year. “So far it has gone quite well,” he said. “I find the overall vibe of the sport lots of fun to play.” Ogilvie said that he is happy he had the opportunity to join the PDCI’s team in September. “Everybody is playing extremely well this year,” he said. “Just being around them has dramati-

cally helped my game. Pete (Stothart, acting head coach) and Ms. Rumball (head coach Donna Rumball) have helped the team a lot.” Both Ogilvie and Francey said that they are planning on continuing their education at PDCI next year to help improve their grades. Francey said that he gave up playing club volleyball to help bring his grades up in hopes of going to university, where he would like to continue playing the sport. “Then again, playing in Europe (competitively) doesn’t sound so bad, either,” Francey said. PDCI’s next home game will be against Carleton Place High High school students Brock Ogilvie, 17, and Colin Francey, 17, are School on Thursday, Oct. 21 at members of the PDCI senior boys’ volleyball team.

Cyclocross is coming to Perth PLMHA hosts First Duel andrew.snook@perthcourier.com The Town of Perth will play host the Eastern Ontario Cyclocross series on Oct. 24 at Conlon Farm. The cyclocross races will be split into two one-hour sessions taking place at 8:45 and 10:30 a.m. “It’s sort of a cross between road biking and mountain biking,” said Darren Cope, a member of the cycling sub-committee of the Perth and District Chamber of Commerce. The cyclocross races are set up so people of any age can participate. Cope said that anyone inter-

ested in participating needs to register online. “We have 21 different categories divided by gender and age,” said Bob Woods, cyclocross race director for the Ottawa Bicycle Club. “We go from a kids category, boys and girls, all the way up to Master E, for people 70-plus. We get a lot of non-racers coming out and doing this…it’s a very comfortable way for people to race…It’s almost like steeplechase with bikes. We have barriers in different locations around the course…cyclocross was originally designed for casual riding and improving your bike handling skills. Anyone will tell you that their bike handling skills improve after competing in

cyclocross.” Woods said that the idea of Perth as a new location for the event was suggested to him by Cope after two of the group’s regular cycling locations were closed due to construction. “If it’s a nice day there should around 150 racers,” Cope said. “We encourage people to come out. If the town supports the race, it’s quite likely they’ll be back every year in the future.” Cope said that people are welcome to bring any bicycle they want, but he suggests a road bike over a mountain bike.

The Atom C Wings have been chosen and are ready for action. Team members are Connor Greaves, Callum Anderson, Sawyer Jones, Ryan Jordan, Kendra Parks, Aiden Reesor, William Umpherson, Jacob Noonan, Josh Armstrong, Matthew Cardinal, Emily Mulville, Austin Topping, Kalil Bailey, and Ethan Hofstatter. The coaching staff includes head coach Colin Anderson and assistant coaches Jamie Topping and Kurt Greaves. The Wings first game was at home in Lanark on Oct. 16 against the Osgoode Rideau Senators. With very little practice time behind them this game was the first real opportunity for the team to get to know each other on the ice. Midway through the second period, Jordan lit up the scoreboard on a pass from Reesor to put the Wings up 1-0. Minutes later, Emily scored to give the Wings a

two-goal lead. Wings defenseman Noonan finished off the secondperiod rally converting on a pass from Topping to give the Wings a 3-0 after two periods of play. Wings players Jordan, Umpherson, Parks and Anderson finished off the scoring to defeat the Senators by a score of 7-0. Goaltender Greaves was not overly busy between the pipes, but remained incredibly focused and made key saves to pick up the win. The next morning, the Wings headed out on the road to play the West Carleton Warriors. Both the forward lines and defensive played well together. The Wings scored three times in the first period and Greaves shut the door on the Warriors’ offense to give the team its second straight shutout to start the season. If the Atom C Wings recent play is any indication of how the team will fair this season, then fans are sure to be treated to an exciting and successful year of hockey.

ZANDER Progressing History in December of 1953 that there would be no ice for the season as the operating costs were too high. In October of 1955, the James family offered the arena to the Town of Perth, and it accepted; however, in 1959 the rink was condemned by structural engineers and a hefty price of $50,000 was needed to make the necessary repairs. The town decided against spending the money. There was a strong desire to build a new community centre and in 1961, the first fundraising event, a sportsmen’s dinner, was organized by the Jaycees at the town hall. Two hundred people paid $10 per plate to listen to former NHLers Bun Cook, Auriel Joliat and King Clancy. The dinner was a success, as $1,000 was donated to the arena cause. Although the fundraising for the community centre got off to a successful start, it was only the beginning of what has been termed “... a four-year battle of backbiting, flip-flopping, namecalling and general confusion.” By 1963 there appeared to be no progress in the new community centre. The town had paid $500 to Proctor and Redfern Consulting Engineers to begin the process and was presented with a $9,500 bill from the company in January of 1963. People were outraged at the large cost with nothing to show for it. Town council quickly severed ties with the firm and briefly turned to the architectural firm, Schoelar and Barkham. Mr. Barkham recommended that the Town build the arena on the site of the old James Arena; however, a week

after dismissing Proctor and Redfern, the town was once again cooperating with the engineers. The James Arena was the favoured location for a new community centre and in February of 1963, it was demolished. By May, it was clarified that the community centre was to be on the old arena site. Since 1961 there had been “incessant bickering” over the cost of the community centre. The town wanted to keep the cost to around $200,000, but once accepted a tender of $270,000, a decision quickly reversed. In December of 1963, the town did a flip-flop on the location, as the Perth Public School site on Foster Street was favoured over the James Arena land. Testing showed that the Foster Street location had better footing for building than did the old arena site. Council hoped to use the old school as part of its building thus saving dollars but the council was also prepared to demolish the school if it was unsuitable. Early in 1964, little progress had been made on the community centre and some residents were asking that their donations be returned. While the Town of Perth squabbled over issues, the village of Lanark began the building of its new arena in May. Perhaps spurred on by Lanark, the Town of Perth decided in June that the school site would be the location for the community centre. In August, demolition of the school began and a contract was signed committing the building contractor to start construction by Sept. 15, 1964 and finish by Feb.15, 1965. After many years of being a contentious issue, the new community centre was to become a reality on Sept. 14 as Art Daines, chairman of the community centre committee, dug a silver-plated spade into the dirt on Foster Street. A cornerstone laying ceremony occurred on Jan. 16, 965 and the official opening of the community centre was on Feb. 22.

The Perth and District Community Centre is celebrating almost 46 years of history with the grand re-opening dedication ceremony on Oct. 22. For five months, the Beckwith Street facility was closed as workers improved it. The renovations, which cost $856,000 (shared by the federal government, through its Recreational Infrastructure Canada Program, the provincial government through its Ontario Recreation Program and the communities of Perth, Drummond/North Elmsley and Tay Valley); have given the arena increased usefulness to the district. Covered arenas have played an important role in the local community for over a century. It has been almost 111 years since the doors to Perth’s old James Arena swung open on New Year’s Day in 1900. The building of the arena was very quick, as the Perth Skating Rink Company had only been formed on Sept. 20, 1899. For $4,000, W. J. Rabb was contracted to build the Perth Arena, as it was officially named, but it was better known as the James Arena after it was purchased by George James in 1915. Perthites attending the James Arena on the corner of Beckwith and Herriott Streets witnessed many memorable events. Hockey was often the highlight, as the arena was the home of the senior Crescents and the junior Blue Wings. The Blue Wings of the late 1930s played an exciting and winning brand of hockey. In 1936, the Perth junior team won the Lanark County championship and followed that with four consecutive Citizen Shields, emblematic of the championship of the Ottawa district. The most spectacular season for the Blue Wings was in 1937-38, when the team advanced to the semi-final series of the Memorial Cup. Not only was the James Arena used for hockey, but it was also used for speedskating, carnivals, figure skating, concerts, banquets, roller skating and roller hockey. Despite the varied use of the arena, the James family declared

A deer mating ritual

BRIGGS-JUDE Outdoors be a protective stance. From our viewpoint, we could see that both deer were now concentrating their attention on a stand of pine that broke the contour of the slope a hundred yards or so from where they stood. Was it a coyote or a renegade dog that the deer seemed to view with alarm? We followed their line of sight and immediately saw the reason for their apprehension. There was no way of knowing whether this bigger buck that now broke out of the evergreens was making any vocal sounds. What was apparent, though, was that it was in an aggressive mood. Shaking its huge rack against several small trees, it charged up and down the slope as if trying to locate the position of this as yet unseen adversary. In a few minutes, it had gained the last shrub-covered gully between them and was already moving through the open patches of old pasture. The young buck tensed as it watched the old warrior approach then pawed the ground as a signal of challenge. All male ungulates, such as these white-tailed deer, moose, caribou, and elk, battle one another during the mating season to gain and retain as many females as possible. Sometimes these encounters are merely a show of

force between the two rival males; however, just as often, they can be fierce tests of strength, skill, and endurance with no quarter given. On occasion, deer and moose have been known to lock antlers while fighting, leading to the death by starvation of both animals. Ironically, these lethal antlers are shed every year sometimes as early as December. More frequently, they are dropped in the first month of the new year. The small buck on the hillside stamped down hard with its front feet and began to move up. In the years ahead there would be similar challenges, but for this afternoon of this year his two-pronged rack was no match for the heavy set of armament that now approached him. With a farewell glance towards his short-term mate, the young buck bounded over the crest of the hill and was gone.

t may have been the lengthening shadows against the mostly white background, or just the fact that we happened to look in that direction. At any rate, the deer was there. Resting in the snow on the distant hillside, it reminded me of a big jackrabbit taking in the last benefits of the afternoon sun. Motionless, even when viewed through the binoculars, the greybrown form showed no sign of horns. For an hour or so, the deer sat tight, paying little heed to the occasional vehicular traffic that passed on the nearby roadway. When the warmth of the slanting rays faded behind the crest of the hill, it stood up, shook off the loose snow and moved slowly forward. It was then that we noticed another deer step from the thorn trees higher up on the slope. As the larger animal moved down to where the first one stood, it was time to get the spotting scope. In another moment we would know for sure whether the second deer was a buck or whether the two white-tails we were watching were a doe and a fawn. Then, while I fumbled with the focus, something happened that we had never seen before in all our years of outdoor life. That something answered all our questions without the aid of the powerful lens. For there, on the last day of November, among the rocks and saplings of that cutover hillside with a covering of new snow, the animals mated. Through the scope it was now possible to see the small rack the young buck sported, notice the darker cast to its sleek coat and compare the size of the two deer. When they parted, both turned to face their tracks. The buck nipped some twigs from a nearby apple tree, while the doe raised her head and strained her ears forward. There was something in the wind that was causing the doe some concern. The young buck sensed his mate’s anxiety and stepped ahead of her a few paces in what appeared to
