Jim Peden was awarded this year’s Perth Medal during the Perth and District Chamber of Commerce annual award dinner last week. The medal, which was created by the Perth Rotary Club in 1996, is annually awarded to a resident who demonstrates strong dedication to the town. “People say Jim Peden is a thinker,� said Mayor John Fenik, who presented the award to the former Perth and District Collegiate Institute teacher. Peden’s commitment to his town has garnered respect from both his colleagues and fellow volunteers since moving here in 1967, Fenik said. “Jim’s always involved with and raising money for good causes,� Fenik said. Since that time, Peden taught at PDCI for 33 years, served three terms as a town councillor and spent nearly 12 years as a member of the Rotary Club, including as its director and president. He also served as the director of On-
tario Small Urban Municipalities in addition to many volunteer activities, such as the Tay Basin Revitalization Project and helping to found the Rotary Club’s Authors in the Park reading festival. Peden said while the festival didn’t take off the way the organization hoped it would, many of the country’s best authors paid visits to Perth while it was running. “We were trying to set up a festival for readers of all types, both kids and so on, and we got some of the foremost authors in Canada to come to participate in that,� he said. “Unfortunately, we couldn’t get crowds to match. It takes a while to grow something like that.� Peden said finding out he had been nominated for the award was a surprise, but learning that he had actually won was “absolutely thrilling.� After being awarded, Peden spoke to the crowd about the importance of volunteering and teamwork.

The new home of the Algonquin College Heritage Institute had its grand opening on Oct. 21. The event boasted an inclusive ribboncutting ceremony, which saw all members of the audience wielding scissors to cut their own piece of the green ribbon. That sense of community is what made the project so successful, Lana March said during the ceremony.
“This truly has been a team effort,� she said. March, a former educator and mayor of Perth, is also the chair of the Building our College, Our Community, Our Future campaign. Algonquin College president Robert Gillett agreed. He said what makes the campus special is its link to the greater community through the jobs that were created during the campus’ construction, as well as the programs now offered to students. “This fully embodies community,� he said.

Council looks at OPP costing ROSANNE LAKE rosanne.lake@perthcourier.com
After a lengthy in-camera session prior to the scheduled Perth town council meeting last Tuesday night, the mayor and councillors decided to pursue OPP costing. Of those present at the meeting, Mayor John Fenik, Deputy Mayor John Gemmill, and councillors Jim Boldt, Judy Brown, Ed McPherson and Beth Peterkin voted in favour of requesting the costing for the OPP policing the town. The only councillor opposed was Jim Graff. “I have the utmost faith in our current police service,� Fenik said. “This request is not as a result of dissatisfaction with the current service.� Fenik said that as a politician, the costing makes sense in terms of garnering all the information available to make the best, and most economical, decision for the people of Perth. “If we have all of the information, then we’ll be better informed to do what’s right, not just as a town, but what’s right for our ratepayers, too,� he said. “We can

The original campus opened 40 years ago, according to the college website. “The current facility is 38 years old, inefficient to operate, and was built originally as a minimally designed steel structure,� the website stated. The new campus now offers eight programs, including early childhood education and the adaptive reuse of buildings program, both of which started this fall. These new programs and facility will not only benefit the Town of Perth, they will also benefit Lanark County and eastern Ontario, said Perth Mayor John Fenik. “I woke up this morning and there was a smile on my face and it hasn’t faded all day,� he said. “It’s not about this building; it’s about the students in it.� The new campus now has space for more than 350 students, up from the 250 students the old building was able to accommodate. It also contains computer labs and a topof-the-line trades’ wing. A fitness facility was also built, thanks to the Students’ Association, which acting dean Murray Kyte called “a leader in the college system.� Linda Cooke, former campus dean and one of the initial people who pushed for a new campus, sent her congratulations. Cooke left her position earlier this year to become a technical advisor for an educational project in Guyana. The entire project cost approximately $10 million.
consider the numbers going into the budget cycle and also consider where we’re going now as a municipality. “You want all the information to be able to make a proper decision.� The last time the town took a serious look at such a costing was in the mid1990s. Lanark County is also in the process of an OPP costing, after the county decided to investigate having a county-wide police force. Using the Town of Carleton Place as an example, Fenik said the costing process can be completed in about eight months. According to numbers from the 2010 year, the current local police force costs the town $2.75 million per year, which includes police dispatch and court security. That number includes 15 officers, an executive assistant for the police chief, five full-time and two part-time dispatchers as well as two full-time and one part-time court security officers. The local police service has a long history in town, dating back almost as long as the town is old. See ‘OPP’ page 3

Soldier remembered through new grave marker ROSANNE LAKE rosanne.lake@perthcourier.com
Evander William Francis McRae died and was buried the Hopetown Cemetery more than 85 years ago, yet he only received a proper grave marker last week. A simple but purposeful stone was unveiled last Tuesday for the veteran of the American Civil War, the maternal great-grandfather of Linda Middleton. Middleton, who lives in Harcourt, Ont. is a genealogist and author of a book about Echlin Family History. When she started investigating the lives lived on her mother’s side of the family, she stumbled upon McRae who was buried in the Hopetown Cemetery in 1924, with no permanent grave marker ever being placed there. “In my mind, it’s not right that a soldier would have an unmarked grave,” she said. McRae’s obituary, printed in the Lanark Era in 1924, states that his accounts of his experiences in the war were full of adventure and bravery. At 18 years of age, McRae enlisted with the 8th New York Calvary at Rochester, N.Y. in December of 1863. With grey eyes, dark hair and standing only 5-foot-3, Middleton said that her research uncovered he was with two different companies during the following years, wounded twice and honourably discharged in June of 1865 when all engagements of the Civil War ended for his unit.
He was paid $120 on his departure from the cavalry. After that, McRae returned to Canada and was a resident of Lanark Village for many years, where he later died in his home. “I was finding out all this great information about him – but still no one seemed to know where exactly he was buried,” Middleton said. “His death schedule said he was definitely buried here in Hopetown, the question was where in the cemetery.” Undaunted and looking for answers, Middleton visited the cemetery last year, and scoured one end of the property looking for anything that would resemble his grave. Norval Wilson, plot locator for the cemetery, approached her to see if she needed assistance. They looked at historic maps and records with names and burial locations written on them and were able to narrow down a general location for McRae’s final resting place. Through divining for the body, Wilson pinpointed his grave. Wilson said that the cemetery is configured in several sections; the one in which McRae is buried is the oldest. “People come to the cemetery looking for relatives, quite often, at least once a month, during the summer months,” he said, noting that the old books and locator maps kept on file offer a lot of help for people interested in family history.
After locating the grave site and armed with a small mountain of research, Middleton applied to the United States department of Veterans Affairs for a grave stone to denote McRae’s plot. “I went to look up his service records and I realized they would offer a stone at no charge,” she said. But although US Veteran Affairs supplies the stone, the family is responsible for the installation, she said. After putting out a call for assistance to fund the endeavor, Middleton found several family members to donate for the installation. She said Joyce Moss (Carl) of Smiths Falls, Violet Rathwell of Perth, Bruce Echlin (Sandra) of Perth, Keith Echlin (Janice) of Port Elmsley and Bill Echlin (Peggy) of Pictou, N.S. as well as her own family, all answered the call so that the stone could make its home in Hopetown. Shipped last week, G. Quick and Sons from Belleville did the installation work. McRae’s properly denoted grave was unveiled last week in front of a handful of family and community members. With this chapter of her genealogy adventures drawing to a close, Middleton said her interest has been piqued in her mother’s maternal side of family. “I’m planning another book, but this time about the McRaes,” she said, noting that she can’t wait to see what she’ll uncover next.

Perth’s founders and volunteers played a crucial role in building and maintaining the town, its organizations and its people. “They recognized
what could be done, what should be done, and what – very importantly in some instances – should not be done,” he said. “Perthites are very, very special people.”

Parking formally created at Michael’s Table ROSANNE LAKE rosanne.lake@perthcourier.com
Patrons of Michael’s Table Restaurant on Gore Street will now have a definitive, if limited, parking area next to the establishment. At a regular meeting of Perth town council last Tuesday evening, a bylaw was passed allowing for three parking spaces to be designated next to the restaurant. The issue has been discussed around the council horseshoe for months, first having been brought to light by the traffic and parking committee back in May. The spaces adjacent to the restaurant were found to violate
the town’s parking bylaw, as the lot sometimes houses up to five vehicles, for which there was no formal parking designation. Councillors at Tuesday night’s meeting said those vehicles can stick out onto Harvey Street, potentially creating a safety hazard. The approved spots will be 4.8 metres by 2.6 metres and will be able to accommodate smaller vehicles. Just before council voted to pass the bylaw, Coun. Jim Graff brought forward a potential amendment to the bylaw as he was aiming to get three parking spots as well as a smaller spot for a compact car or motorcycle allotted for the space. Graff noted that the owners
did not know when they purchased the business that the parking area would be reduced. In a recorded vote, council voted against the amendment, then passed the original bylaw, with all attending councillors in favour, except for Graff. Deputy Mayor John Gemmill said he voted against the amendment, as he thought adding an additional small spot would cause problems trying to police the parking there. Coun. Jim Boldt agreed, saying that he’s been informally monitoring parking in the space for the past few weeks and seeing larger vehicles park there even though they don’t properly fit in the spaces. He said adding another, even smaller, spot
would only make that situation worse. “We should stick with the three spots we approved,” he said. According to a report from the
traffic and parking committee, which quotes Perth Police chief Pat Capello, there were eight accidents in 2010 that involved vehicles using the space. With files from Kassina Ryder
Deer population not ideal says ministry KASSINA RYDER kassina.ryder@perthcourier.com
Deer populations in the area are up this year, according to the Ministry of Natural Resources. “In most of our units, the deer populations have increased slightly from last year,” said Scott Smithers, a biologist with the ministry’s Kemptville district office. Wildlife management unit 64A, which includes the Perth and Lanark area, grew to 5.2 deer per square kilometre of forested habitat, up from 4.9 last year. Smithers said while numbers are up, they are not ideal. “We want deer populations to
be about seven deer per square kilometre,” he said. “We’re still in the process of building herds.” In 2003, deer populations were “extremely high” in most areas, Smithers said. WMU 63B, which borders Lanark and Perth, was especially high. “In 2003 in the same unit; we had 12 deer per square kilometre,” he said. Managing deer herds means controlling the number of female deer that can be hunted in a given year. Smithers said a drop in deer population translates into a drop in doe tags. “Antlerless hunting was dramatically reduced in recent
years,” he said. Smithers said the goal is to build the herds back up to between five and eight deer per square kilometre. “We’ll probably reach that next year,” he said. If that happens, the numbers of does allowed to be hunted will increase. Currently, only about 30 per cent of hunters who applied for a non-antlered deer tag this year received one, Smithers said. “Right now, there are fewer of those tags out there than there are hunters requesting them,” he said. That means, three out of 10 hunters who apply for an antlerless tag will get one.
OPP costing figures sought From the front According to information from the Perth Police Service, in July of 1851, a bylaw was passed that saw eight people appointed as constables of the municipality of the Town of Perth. Three years later in 1854, the Town of Perth was incorporated
and in April of that year, another bylaw was passed appointing a chief constable for the town and a constable for each of the wards. Hence, the Perth Police service, albeit a much smaller version, was born. Fenik said he recognizes that that the current costing puts
people’s lives up in the air. “I apologize for any uncertainty this will bring,” Fenik said. “While this costing unfolds, it will be absolutely transparent… We want to do it right. “It’s such a huge decision to make – probably one of the most important decisions we’ll make as a council.”

CELEBRATION It’s been 60 years of marriage - plus four children, 10 grandchildren, and one great-grandson - for Mary and Gus Quattrocchi. The couple have lived in Perth for their entire marriage, and had family come together at their home to celebrate with them on Oct. 23, one day after their 60th wedding anniversary. The original wedding dress was on display, along with a suit similar to the one that Gus rented 60 years ago for the big day. Mary said the secret to their long marriage is “give and take,” but, still in love after 60 years added, “but maybe he’s the secret.”

COMMUNITY
Perth resident shares about her work in Haiti Perth resident, Bonita Ford, will be sharing about her work in Haiti, where she gave trainings to teachers, community animators and agronomists earlier this year. On Oct. 21, Ford gave a talk at St Paul’s United Church about the work. After a brief trip to Haiti as a consultant, a few months after the 2010 earthquake in Port-au-Prince, Ford decided to raise funds and return as a volunteer. She raised over $8,500 to support three locally-based non-profits in Haiti, and to cover her own transportation and a stipend for other expenses. The organizations she chose were AMURT, Helping Hands Noramise, and Sustainable Organic Integrated Livelihoods (SOIL), because of their relationships with the local communities, their long-term investment in Haiti, and their size. All three organizations focus on local capacity building, empowerment, sustainability and health in a number of areas, including youth leadership, micro enterprises, ecological sanitation and clean water. In May this year, Ford spent six weeks
in Haiti volunteering with AMURT. She trained over 40 teacher-trainers, community animators, and agronomists from three organisations and five sites, and coached three teams. Her work was based on principles from ecological design (permaculture) and Nonviolent Communication. Her talk was part of the 40th anniversary celebrations of Canada World Youth (CWY). In the Perth community, Ford’s volunteer work includes Transition Perth, Dignity House Hospice, and Canada World Youth. Ford is passionate about social change and personal growth. In facilitating groups and in one-on-one “Cooperative Coaching”, she integrates ecological principles, collaborative communication, body-centred learning and Reiki. She has led workshops and groups worldwide for over eight years, including in Budapest, Soweto, Durban, Port-au-Prince, San Francisco, Seattle, New Mexico, VerPhoto courtesy of Bonita Ford mont, Toronto and Ottawa.

Children and Youth Services and Youth Justice Services. Kevin Cameron, director of the Canadian Centre for Threat Assessment and Trauma Response, told a crowd of about 50 supporters it was “very rewarding” to see the long and involved process come to fruition. That process began because of a high profile school shooting in Alberta, he explained. “Then as time went on, we realized, oh my goodness, we can do so much good work by collaborating. We don’t need to wait till tragedy occurs,” he said. Cooperative protocols such as these are mandated by the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services. Cameron acknowledged that linking the agencies and negotiating what information to share and how to work together was no small feat. But, he said, in a choice between administrative legwork and picking up the pieces after a school shooting. “I would rather do violence prevention any day.”
THE POPPY CAMPAIGN (2011) PERTH-UPON-TAY BRANCH 244 THE ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION The Royal Canadian Legion was founded with a number of Purposes and Objects. As would be expected, some of these testaments address the need to preserve the memory of those who gave their lives in the service of Canada. This point was demonstrated by these words: “perpetuate the memory and deeds of the fallen and of those who die in the future” and “promote and care for memorials to their valour and sacrifice, to provide a suitable burial if required, to keep an annual memorial day, to preserve the records and members of their service, and to see that such services shall not be forgotten by the nation.”

Police chiefs, school board chairs and social agency directors came to the North Grenville Municipal Centre on Oct. 17 to sign two agreements that will increase communication and cooperation between the various agencies, all with an eye toward preventing youth violence. The documents outline the roles of police, schools and community partners when helping students who seem headed down a violent path, said Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario superintendent Donaleen Hawes, who hosted the signing ceremony. Using the Community Threat Assessment Protocol and Police and School Board Protocol, the agencies hope to work together to keep schools safe and intervene to get atrisk youth the help they need before they harm themselves or others. The agreement details how to collect and analyze data and observe suspect behavior, when
and how to involve parents in the assessment process, and how to evaluate risk levels. Agencies will share information to craft an intervention plan for at-risk students that will not necessarily include an out-of-school suspension, since the protocol identifies a poorly timed suspension as a high risk action. “Threat assessment trumps suspension” and is not a disciplinary measure, the report states. Five school boards – the CDSBEO, the Upper Canada District School Board, Conseil scolaire de district catholique de l’Est Ontarien, Conseil des écoles publiques de l’Est de l’Ontario, and Conseil des écoles catholiques du CentreEst – pledged to work with the OPP and the police forces of Perth, Smiths Falls, Gananoque, Brockville and Cornwall to assess risk and conduct threat assessment training for board staff. Eight community agencies providing family and youth services, health care, and mental health support also signed on, along with the Ministry of

Babies feel the warmth of giving The obstetrical unit staff of the Perth & Smiths Falls District Hospital accepted a number of baby gift sets last month for new moms who are in need. The gift packs include a hand-made quilt and other hand-made items as well a dozen diapers, blankets, outfits and numerous other articles to get this new babe off to a good start. A warm message to assist the new mom is also included in the gift pack. The Smiths Falls branch of the Sisters of the Relief Society from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints donated these gifts. This is the second such gift to the hospital in recent months. RN Judy Livius noted, “These gifts are given to moms in need and are always received with expressions of gratitude.” Judy Brown, hospital board member and member of the Relief Society stated that, “The Society motto is ‘Charity never Faileth’ and we are happy to provide service to those in need in our community.” Submitted by the Perth & District Smiths Falls and District Hospital

‘Smiley’ gives hope BY CHRIS LOVELESS Parish Nurse
The following story is from one of my devotions, written by a missionary, that, has hit home to me personally, and I’d like to share it with you. “So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” (2 Corinthians 4: 18) “I don’t know her real name, but Smiley is one of about 200 men and women who live in a leper colony near one of our church sponsored orphanages in a rural village of India. Dan and I had been asked to lead a worship service for the leper colony and I have to admit that I was both curious and terrified by the prospect of ministering to lepers. I had never even seen anyone with leprosy and had no idea what to expect. I prayed like crazy that God would somehow work through me to bless His wounded and broken children. As the worship service began, Smiley sat in front of me in the dirt, a look of anticipation on her face, waiting for a message from God. I think the message was mine to hear. We had come to bring her joy and hope – but she already had both. Leprosy has ravaged her body, leaving her with no toes, no fingers, and a death sentence. Cows, chickens and goats roam the dirty, rugged road in front of her thatched-roof shack. Smiley does not enjoy the luxury of running water and electricity, and food is scarce. Personally, I could see very little that Smiley had to smile about but it was her radiant smile that caught my attention and tugged at my heart. After the service, I wrapped this precious woman in as big a hug as I could possibly give because she was so rarely touched by others. With the help of an interpreter, we celebrated the truth that one day she will once again have all her toes and fingers. One day, she would be well and whole. She laughed like a little girl at the prom-
ise of being with Jesus and living with Him in heaven. Smiley has fixed her eyes on the unseen and found joy and hope in the process. She does not depend upon the temporary things of this world for contentment. Hope gives her strength to get up each morning and begin her daily search for food. The promise of heaven comforts her each night when she lies down on a dirty cardboard mat to sleep. Smiley has nothing – yet she has everything – because she has learned, and lives out the truth that inner joy does not depend upon outward circumstances. We can learn a lot from Smiley. God promises that if you know Him you will know true joy. Joy is not merely happiness but rather an unshakable confidence that God is in control. Therefore, He is our one and only source of joy and stands ready, waiting to saturate every circumstance with His presence. As His children, joy is ours to claim. If so, then where is it and why do we not experience a sense of confident celebration as we go through each day? Maybe it is because of the “joy stealers” who lurk in the shadows, waiting to crush joy wherever they find it. Choosing joy requires us to identify and eliminate the “joy stealers” in life. You may be allowing a person to take your joy. Maybe some painful experience from a shadowed yesterday is an obstacle of joy in your life today. Perhaps a fearful circumstance or a broken dream is the culprit. I know life can be painful. I know life is often hard and painful and unfair. I also know God is in control. Therefore, if God really is God (and He definitely is) then we can and should be people of joy. I have read the final chapter of the Book and we win! Nothing and no one can take your joy without your permission. So, don’t give it! Choose joy! I pray that we will all learn to choose joy in whatever lies ahead.

EDITORIAL OUR OPINION
Safety should be front and centre Halloween night
L
ooking out for the vampires and ghosts, witches and zombies, and keeping them safe from all the “normal” people sounds like the role of a character some sort of sci-fi horror
movie. But that’s a role that everyone should take this Halloween, regardless of what costume you may be sporting. Halloween is the night of the year that almost every child in the community can excitedly run from house to house, collecting candy. That makes it important for drivers to remember that it’s very easy for a small child, loaded up on Halloween sugar, to run into the street without first looking. Anyone driving on Halloween evening needs to be aware that this isn’t a regular night of the week, and while normal safety precautions, such as not texting and driving, should always be followed, it is especially true on Oct. 31. Imagine how easy it would be to turn sending a quick text on the phone into a disaster if the look down means to missed seeing your four-year-old neighbour, dressed in head-to-toe as a vampire in a black costume, dart into the street. Nothing could be scarier. It’s important for parents to remember traffic risks as well, and incorporate reflective material or a bright colour whenever possible. Another option for trick-or-treaters’ parents is a flashlight, equipping kids with a solo headlight of their own. The best way to convince kids to keep close to the houses is to promote route optimization – the less walking, the quicker the route, and the more houses the kids can get to. Kids, parents and drivers all need to take responsibility this Monday evening. Halloween should be a night to remember for all the right reasons.

ild boar. Bear. Venison. Cattail pollen pasta with wild pesto. Leek and potato soup. Wild grape juice. The list goes on for the many delicacies that were on the menu Saturday night at a private hunters and gatherers dinner, held on Railway Street. More than 20 people gathered to hoist a glass and celebrate locally harvested fare with flare. With each person contributing something, the food soon accumulated to form a veritable feast. Everything from stuffed puffball to black walnut bread, and from venison chili and moose cabbage rolls to Jerusalem Artichoke Casserole added colour and unmatched wild flavour to the menu. Although the food looked delicious, the taste of the fare was secondary to the message that I took away from attending the dinner. If you do your research and spend the time to know where to look, you can eat well off the land. Not just any land, but the land in your own backyard. In parks. Even in your neighbour’s unoccupied field (with permission, of course), or along that trail through the woods where you like to walk with the dog. Food is all around us, grow-
Rosanne LAKE View from the Lake ing naturally. Take one dish at the dinner, for instance. Erik Kafrissen co-owner of Fiddleheads and part of the Heeb and Rob Show, attended, bringing with him the most delicious combination of ground venison, dried walnuts and dried wild blueberry packed into dough. The walnuts were from a tree near the restaurant and he took the time to show me pictures of how he dried them for a week or so, then cracked them and compiled the nuts for use in his dish. We see things like fallen walnuts, or a sprig of lambs quarters (an excellent green in salads) or even sumac and often walk past them, barley giving
them a passing glance. The dinner last weekend, really hit home for me that now, more than ever, we need to start looking at what’s around us to fill our bellies. Spend that extra time to research the plants in your back yard, and what you can consume that’s growing freely around you. In this age of prepared food and excess, it’s easy to head to the frozen food section and grab something quick and easy. Or to sacrifice healthy and natural for fat-laden, sodium-heavy foods that take five minutes on the stove. But growing unassuming all around us are practical foods that we, as humans, have used for hundreds of years – some even with healing properties. It was so refreshing and just plain intriguing to chat about foraging Saturday night, and realize that people in this community are enthusiastic about finding, harvesting and eating the food that is around us naturally. The event, though put on as a private dinner this year, was so well-received that it sounds like the idea may grow into a charity event for the next edition. I can’t wait to see where this goes and am already salivating thinking about what people will prepare next time.

want to preface this column by saying I really like the office administrators at my kids’ school. They are friendly, efficient, organized and generally wonderful. That said, when the phone rings and the school number comes up on the call display, I don’t particularly want to talk to them. Usually I would much rather dive under my desk and slap my hands over my ears. Nice. Dark and quiet. Except those clever office administrators have my cell number, too, and they know how to use it. Often they call it first, and I will be caught somewhere with no desk for diving. If it weren’t for the fact I love Mr. George BlackBerry, executive assistant, I would be inclined to fling the phone into the bushes when they call. Why so tense? Well, I would love to be able to say they are calling to tell me that one or both of my children have been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize or that they have been selected to be honorary chairs of a special philanthropic children’s foundation or even that they won a prize or some such glorious thing. I am grateful, at least, they have not, so far, called to say my children have been expelled. I think they have me on speed dial anyway, and the reason they do is because Germ Season™ has begun. Sigh. One of my kids (the one who is not crazy about school) occasionally falls victim to illnesses that feature ambiguous symptoms. This leaves me guessing as to the veracity of the claim, thus throwing me into turmoil: am I an uncaring mother who
Stephanie
GRAY Past Deadline lacks sympathy for her child who is actually sick or simply a frazzled mother who is trying to work and has reason to be suspicious? Either scenario is undesirable. There are few other phone numbers that cause me such angst. Sometimes when they pop up I am tempted to dive under the desk. Usually I don’t though, because I don’t fit very well underneath. And it’s dusty under there. It’s just easier to answer the phone if I am in its vicinity. I am cautious with unknown numbers, however. I sometimes hate talking to strangers. It’s one of the reasons I left reporting – so many strange people. I mean strangers. Anyway, back to unknown numbers. There’s just something so darned unknown about them, don’t you find? Somehow my spirit of adventure (chortle) is not ignited by the mystique of answering mystery phone numbers. After all, it could be a salesperson or a scammer or someone offering me something free that isn’t really free. Will I get trapped
into answering questions for a survey that is “only going to take a couple of minutes, ma’am,” but ends up taking 20 minutes right at supper? Am I going to be tricked into revealing my social insurance number and bank account info and mother’s maiden name because I have trouble saying no? Better to dive under the desk, I say. If it’s important they will leave a message. (Okay… so if you ever call me and I don’t answer are you going to be imagining me checking messages while cowering under my desk? Hehehe.) Ahem. Sometimes you get to recognize unknown numbers, thereby making them somewhat known, and can still confirm they are Big Trouble™. This is true when Utah calls (No offence, Utah.) Regular readers may remember I wrote a year ago about getting to know all of the many numbers associated with a collection agency in Utah. I wrote them all down when they popped up in the middle of the night so I could call to lodge various complaints. They were trying to send a fax to our phone line, and we finally figured out the fax they were trying to reach was one number off of ours. It was definitely a relief to get that sorted out. As much fun as that was, I don’t miss the heartpounding middle-of-the-night wake-up calls. Similarly, as awesome as they are, I would much rather chat with the office administrators when I pick up the kids after a full, healthy day at school. Here’s hoping! Germ season is only just beginning….

How to be a minor hockey parent
Photo by Rosanne Lake
DELIGHTFUL DINING Peter Fischl and Barb Gibson show some of the food on the menu at the Hunters and Gatherers dinner Saturday night hosted at Gibson’s house. See a column about the unique event on the opposing page.
Clarification In the Oct. 20 edition of The Perth Courier the article “Film Night International moves to Full Circle Theatre” stated that FNI is looking to purchase a larger screen if the group settles there permanently. Film Night International has
always been and will continue to be a fundraiser for the Perth and Smiths Falls public libraries and will not be using profits to purchase projection equipment for any local theatre. The Courier regrets the confusion this may have caused.
The launch to another minor hockey season means dedication from two parties within the family unit: the players and their parents. I’m amazed by the demanding minor hockey travel schedule, but as my husband often reminds me, hockey is life (although his message changes come springtime when he replaces hockey with golf. But that’s a whole other Private I story). Since hockey is life, it’s easy to get wrapped up in your child’s success on the ice. A minor hockey association in southern Ontario wrote a document titled, “How to be a Minor Hockey Parent,” and the tips offered should be shared around the dressing room. One tip included, “The Car Ride Home,” where, rather than asking your child endless questions about their play time, teammates and coach, instead ask them for their own interpretation. Another point says to support your coach. The majority of minor hockey coaches are volunteers, giving of their time. Some are more qualified than others and some are better communicators than others. But almost all of them, to start with, deserve the benefit of the doubt. If you second guess the coach in front of your child, all you are doing is undermining your own child’s experience. Lastly, this document suggests minor hockey teams use the 24-hour rule. If you have something to say to the coach, give it 24 hours before approaching them as this time allotment usually allows tempers to settle and brings perspective. You’re going to spend the next five months in the arena. While hockey is an emotional

JAMES Private “I” sport, it’s supposed to be a game where your child learns to grow and works in a team setting. Take advantage of the advantages hockey will bring for your child. That is, at least until golf season. COMMUNITY FOUNDATION CELEBRATES A DECADE Ten years ago an idea came to life. The Perth and District Community Foundation was founded and it’s a non-profit organization that has donated nearly $200,000 to community initiatives since its inception. To celebrate its 10th anniversary this year, the PDCF has established a Special Youth Achievement Award. This award honours a community member who is 19 years old or younger and has shown leadership in volunteer, environmental or community initiatives. The recipient will be announced at the PDCF’s Christmas Gala on Nov. 25. The Gala will be held at Algonquin College Perth Campus Student Commons from 5:30-8 p.m. To learn more about nominating a youth (or to get your gala tickets!), visit pdcf.ca or con-
Juno-awarding winning group, Mumbo Jumbo Voodoo Combo, will arrive in Perth for a night of entertainment, helping the Guatemala Stove Project volunteers raise money for their next trip. Since the Guatemala Stove Project first launched 12 years ago, more than 4,000 masonry cook stoves have been installed inside Guatemalan family households. To continue the tradition to help others, the Stove Project volunteers must raise enough funds for supplies. The annual fundraiser will take place at the Perth Civitan Club Nov. 4. Tickets can be purchased at Shadowfax and Coutts & Company, or at the door. For more information, visit guatemalastoveproject.org or call 613-267-5202.

Treat Yourself to a Fire-Safe Halloween The Perth Fire Department encourages everyone to take a few minutes to focus on safety when selecting costumes, decorating, and trick or treating this year. The following is a list of top fire safety tips for Halloween night. • The best costumes are light coloured or bright and reflective • Keep costumes short to avoid tripping and falling. Minimize the risk of contact with candles or other ignition sources by avoiding baggy pants, loose frills, or billowing skirts. • Teach children to “Stop, Drop, & Roll” in case their costume were to catch fire. STOP immediately, DROP to the ground and cover face with their hands and ROLL over and over to extinguish the flames. • Make sure that children know how to call 9-1-1 if they experience an emergency. • Consider using only battery-powered lights or chemical lights sticks in decorations. • Small battery-powered lights are the safest for use in jack-o’-lanterns. If you use a candle, try a tea light or votive candle in a non-combustible holder. • Always keep matches and lighters out of the reach of children. • Place candlelit jack-o’-lanterns on a sturdy surface away from anything that can burn like autumn decorations such as cornstalks and bales of straw, or other combustible items such as curtains and children’s Halloween costumes. • Ensure that electrical outlets are not overloaded with items creating lighting or special effects. • Test your smoke alarms to ensure that they are in working order. For more information contact the Perth Fire Department at 613-267-5574.

Employment Opportunity
Civil Engineering Technologist PANEL “E” (Non-Union) Temporary- 12 month contract The Corporation of the Town of Perth is seeking the services of a Civil Engineering Technologist to be responsible for the day-to-day operation, maintenance, and records management for the municipality’s engineering department. The successful applicant will play a key role in recordkeeping, program management, and performing municipal asset maintenance and replacement. The successful candidate will be a strong advocate for the community and perform a key support role for the management team of the municipality. Summary of Duties: 1. To design municipal infrastructure including water, wastewater, and road systems.
Part Two of Three
Heritage Protection for Perth: Frequently Asked Questions Q) Does a heritage designation make a building inadaptable for modern purposes or under modern demands? For example, what if wheelchair access is required? A) A heritage designation does not freeze a building in time, but rather ensures that future changes are made in a heritage conscious manner. Q) Can a property be altered once it is designated? A) The designation provides a process for ensuring that changes to a heritage property are appropriately managed and that these changes respect the property’s heritage value. If the owner of a designated property wishes to make alterations to the property that affect the property’s heritage attributes, the owner must obtain written consent from the municipality. In general, this should be a cooperative process, where a property owner submits an application for the proposed work, and receives advice and guidance from the municipal heritage committee and/or municipal staff. Council makes the final decision on heritage permit applications unless this power has been delegated to municipal staff under the Ontario Heritage Act. Note: Perth Town Council has delegated authority to municipal staff to help fast track this process. Q) Do property owners need permission for general maintenance? A) General maintenance work, such as repainting of exterior trim, replacement or repairs to an ex-
isting asphalt roof, or alteration and repairs to property features that are not covered by the designation by-law, do not usually require heritage approvals. However, you may still need a building permit. It’s always best to check with your municipality prior to commencing any work. Q) Do we have to protect everything old in the community? A) What you wish to protect and designate depends on the value that your community places on a particular place or structure. Everything does not need to be designated, but a community should consider recognizing and protecting properties that have been identified and evaluated as having heritage value. Q) Does designation alter the right to sell the property? A) Designation will not interfere with your right to sell the property. Designated properties are registered on title at the Land Registry Office, by the Town Clerk. If you are considering the purchase of an older home, it’s wise to ask your legal representative if a designation is registered on title for that property. Should you purchase a designated property, as the new owner, you are required to advise the Town Clerk of the ownership change in accordance with the Ontario Heritage Act. For more information on heritage in Perth please call Karen Rennie, Heritage Manager/Curator at 613-267-1947

spair – but they’re also intelligent and adaptive and rebellious by nature; the change should start there, and with urgency. Why? Because kids are killing themselves when a better life is possible.” At the heart of Neudorf ’s work as a speaker is the conviction that life is good. The focus of his presentation is on suicide prevention, self-acceptance, self-confidence, loving your neighbour, loving yourself, being happy and making quality of life a priority. “Like all people, children and adolescents struggle with self-acceptance and self-esteem,” he says. “The epidemic is nothing new, but that doesn’t make it incurable. Accept yourself and make the most of what you’ve got. “What else can anyone do? What else can I do? What could be better? These are the things I like to talk about.” He says every topic, from queer issues to bullying to veganism, lends itself to this fundamental conclusion. “It’s a simple message and a powerful weapon.

Calvin is the subject of the 2011 short documentary: “On the Male Side of Middle” directed by Paul Neudorf, which demonstrates how strong a family can be when they love, care and listen to each other. “Suffering is epidemic,” Calvin says. “It’s a nasty bug, contagious too, with symptoms ranging from fear to cruelty, cowering to bullying, self-destruction to apathy. I’m tired of watching it destroy lives as it nearly did mine. “Life is good, and it can be better.” Neudorf notes young people seem particularly vulnerable to suffering, from bullying to suicide. “They’re on the front lines of violence and de-

ENTERTAINMENT
Free Spirits hits the stage with a spirited production It was a tough haul for BarnDoor Productions to get the opening show of their 17th season to the stage, seemingly thwarted by illness, accident and the elements, but it finally came about last Friday at the Full Circle Theatre in Perth – and early audiences agree that the show is a crowd pleaser. Free Spirits is a fast and witty comedy, very much in the Noel Coward school. In fact, it is a sequel to what is probably Coward’s most famous play, Blithe Spirit. The trick here is that the production is the world premiere of an all-original script created by BDP’s producing director David Jacklin. Jacklin is a multiple-award winning playwright with some 30 scripts to his credit and Free Spirits benefits from that experience. Its dialogue is tight and fast and the plot moves at a break-
neck pace through two acts of a very funny and entertaining story. Combining fast and funny dialogue, some great characters and an intriguing plot into a fast-paced and energetic production, Free Spirits is a worthy tribute to Sir Noel and a great choice for pre-Halloween entertainment. If it’s funny you want, Free Spirits and the Full Circle Theatre are the place to be. Free Spirits concludes its run this week with performances at 8 p.m. on Oct. 27, 28 and 29. Tickets and more info are available at 613 267 1884 or online at www.barndoorproductions.ca. All performances at the Full Circle Theatre, 26 Craig St., Perth, near Last Duel Park. The theatre is fully barrierfree. Submitted by BarnDoor Productions

16-year-old narrowly escaped death last Sunday afternoon when the farm tractor he was driving flipped over and pinned him underneath. OPP Const. Neil Fennell reported that the accident, involving Mark McIlquham, of RR 1 Lanark, occurred about 1:45 p.m. on Blair Road, near the junction of Cty. Rd. 15. According to police, the youth was travelling along the township road and accidentally entered the west ditch, where the tractor rolled over. The Lanark County Rescue Unit was called to extricate the young man and he was then taken to GWM Hospital, where he was treated for abrasions and bruises and then released.
St. John’s school a growing institution
funding for separate schools in Ontario, St. John’s in Perth is growing into a major educational centre in Lanark County. Work is well underway on major interior renovations of the convent building adjacent to the school, which will eventually house four classrooms, a chapel, guidance office and administration offices. The cost of the renovation is more than $300,000. The school principal, Greg McNally, points out that the exterior of the structure will not be touched. “We know that Perth’s a heritage community and we’re conscious of the place of that building in Perth.” Currently the total student population at St. John’s is 552, with 133 enrolled at the high-school level.

last week, increasing parking fines and increasing the monetary stipend for members of council and the mayor. A motion calling for a four per cent salary hike for members of council was passed. The motion also states that Perth town council, in future, increase remuneration for council members at the same percentage rate received by municipal employees. The four per cent hike will bring the salary of Mayor Lowell Yorke up to $4,680 annually and members of town council to $3,120. Municipal employees received a four per cent wage hike this year. Reeve Frank Mahon strongly opposed a motion to increase parking fines, and suggested input be sought from downtown merchants before implementing increased fines. The motion to increase the fines was passed, with Mahon and Coun. James Walsh voting against. It now means that motorists overparked at a meter will be fined $3. The fine had been set at $2 for many years. Most other fines — parking in a prohibited zone, double parking and others — are increased to $5. In other business, it was stated that the municipality is currently negotiating with Sullivan Sanitation for a one-year extension on the garbage contract. Council also announced that the individual responsible for an oil slick that marred the Tay River will not be charged under the municipal sewer use bylaw. A man apparently poured oil into a storm sewer and the oil ended up in the Tay River. A small amount of oil, it was noted, can pollute a large section of water. The individual responsible has agreed to pay for the clean-up costs of the pollution.

council met for well over an hour in closed session last Wednesday evening, after which it was announced that 66 non-union county employees would receive a four per cent wage hike. County administrator and clerk-treasurer Keith Coulthart stated the increase would cost the county $68,238. Other than the initiation of a dental plan and a few individual pay adjustments, that was the extent of the settlement. At the same regular monthly meeting, it was also decided that the county should proceed with purchasing an IBM computer, software and other related equipment for a total cost of $50,000 for use by the accounting department.

The Department of Highways will subsidize the town for 50 per cent of the total cost. The property is well known to the department, as it does more or less create a blind intersection on the connecting link on Hwy. 15.

Local schools take county meet by storm ROSANNE LAKE rosanne.lake@perthcourier.com
Cross country runners from both local high schools laced up last week to run away with some top prizes at the Lanark County meet in Almonte. Held last Wednesday at Gemmill Park, students from Perth and District Collegiate Institute and St. John Catholic High School were among some top-seeded athletes of the day. They are competing today (Thursday) at the Eastern Ontario meet in Kemptville, but results were not available by press time. The PDCI Blue Devils, had runners finish in the top five places for all six division races. The midget boys team captured first place in their division, with Matt Ferguson earning first place. Senior Tommy Sommerville finished third, and junior Derek Oliver also took home a bronze. Midget girl Stella MacDonald took home placed fifth in her division, but should have taken home the prize for perseverance, too. Coach Cara Fleming said that MacDonald lost both shoes mid-race and still managed to earn fifth.

Perth sidecar driver Miles Holden might have been down a passenger last weekend, but that didn’t keep him from clinching the rookie title for his inaugural season behind the wheel. It looked on Saturday as if the odds weren’t in his favour at the final race of the season in Grand Bend, Ont, but Holden kept his eye on the prize. With a new passenger on board on Saturday, Holden was driving at break-neck speed and actually lost the passenger on one of the corners half way through the race, which caused the team not to finish the competition that day. “That made us even more determined the next day,� he said. Sunday’s feature race was a textbook run, said Holden, with everything falling into place and the duo taking home bronze for their efforts. “We worked well together,� said Holden, noting that his stand-in passenger was experienced. “It was a good last race to end the season on, and we went out with a podium finish.� Not only that, but Holden clinched the Sidecar Racing Association East’s rookie of the year title in the process. That association encompasses a massive geographic area including tracks in the United States, as well as eastern Canada. Holden said the title is also a result of a lot of help received from Perth Motors, Ken’s Mobile Welding, Tony at AB Toolex and Woody’s Cycles, in the racer’s inaugural year. The title caps off a successful first season racing with the association, based out of the Shannonville Motorsports Park. The racing season typically includes 16 races, with Holden and his former passenger Kim Shaw competing in New Jersey, New Hampshire, West Virginia, close to Toronto and more. Even though the racing season is barely two weeks behind him, Holden is already looking ahead to next year. He’s looking to purchase a more modern rig, selling the Formula 1 from this year to acquire a Formula 2 rig for next season. The new season is just around the corner, with regular races starting up again in April.

POPPY & REMEMBRANCE CAMPAIGN – 2011
B

ranch 244 of the Royal Canadian Legion is currently organizing the annual Poppy and Remembrance Campaign which is scheduled to start on Friday, Oct. 28, 2011. For the convenience of the residents of Perth and the neighbouring community, and with the kind co-operation of the local merchants and store owners, Poppy boxes will be placed in the establishments throughout the town. In addition, representatives of Legion Branch 244 will be posted, from time to time, in various locations in the town stores for easy access by the citizens to this most valuable means of fundraising for the Poppy Fund. The Poppy and Remembrance Campaign also embraces a Poppy Blitz on Monday, Nov. 7th, when various Legion members and friends go house-to-house for the distribution of poppies.

For the Poppy Blitz on Nov. 7th, sign-up sheets for volunteers are available in the Branch. Members and others are requested to report to the Branch from 5:30 p.m. on, to pick up poppy boxes and an area to canvass can be assigned.

The pink-themed event saw the team sport while jerseys with pink Perth Blue Wings logos, which they signed and gave away to women and girls in the stands at the end of the game. Perth was victorious again on Sunday, when they chewed through Clarence 7-6. The Blue Wings avoided the sin bin throughout the game, only incurring three penalties for the entirety of the game.

Canadian Cancer Society Wheels of Hope campaign is just shy of reaching its halfway mark The Canadian Cancer Society of Lanark, Leeds & Grenville has only two more months to reach its fundraising goal of $25,000. To date, 48 percent or $11,885 has been raised. The Canadian Cancer Society Wheels of Hope is a new fundraising campaign that will help raise much needed money for its local transportation program. “About 40 donors and businesses have come forward already to support this local initiative,” said Thora Pugh, Unit President. “But we still need more donations from the public to help fund local transportation. The need for the Canadian Cancer Society Transportation Program locally is growing on average of 24 new clients each month. Wheels of Hope provides patients in need of cancer treatment with a ride to the facility where their particular treatment is offered. The program is especially important to people without vehicles, a driver’s license, local family and friends to help, or the financial means to make the sometimes daily trips to Kingston or Ottawa. The average cost for the Canadian Cancer Society to take a patient from Lanark, Leeds & Grenville to their treatment is just over $60 a trip due to
the long distances traveled. “The communities of Lanark, Leeds & Grenville have always been very generous to the Canadian Cancer Society, says Pugh. “If we can get more people to give what they can, we’ll reach our goal. It’s not the size of gift to Wheels of Hope that matters, what matters is that people support their neighbours who might not otherwise be able to get to their life saving cancer treatments. If you would like to make a donation to help get a local cancer patient to their cancer treatments you can donate to the Wheels of Hope program at www.cancer. ca/wheelsofhopeLLG or by calling (613) 267-1058 or 1 800 367-2913. The Lanark, Leeds & Grenville Unit of the Canadian Cancer Society is pleased to partner with Metroland Media, Lake 88.1 FM and BrockNews as sponsors of Wheels of Hope. About the Canadian Cancer Society The Canadian Cancer Society is a national community-based organization of volunteers whose mission is the eradication of cancer and the enhancement of the quality of life of people living with cancer.

Frizell, seen here competing at the Toronto International Track & Field Games in July, threw a 70.11-metre toss at the Pan Ams, which moved her into second place overall. She recorded the toss in the fifth round.
A unique race is set to end up in Perth this Sunday, as Pat’s Rideau Trail Race will make history as the longest competitive foot race staged in Lanark County. On Oct. 30, starting in Smiths Falls, the “brave forty” will gather for the start of a new challenging 26-kilometre run. The competition will require runners to make their way from Smiths Falls to Perth on the Rideau Trail, with the finish line just “inside” the doors of O’Reilly’s Pub. The race is capped at 40 entrants in celebration of the 40th anniversary of the founding of the Rideau Trail. The run starts at 1 p.m. in Smiths Falls near Rob Roy’s Pub. The route will wind out of town, down the Poomalie Road and into the wooded path on the way to Port Elmsley. From there to Beveridges Locks and along the Tay River, following the Old Tow Path, runners will cross the finish line on Gore Street. All runners receive a membership in the Rideau Trail Association as they will use this money for trail development and maintenance. The event is organized by the Perth Running Goats Club; and presented this year in memory of local, world ultra-marathon trail runner Patrick Doyle, who died in December 2010. Doyle was born in Smiths Falls, and was in the ownership of O’Reilly’s Pub in Perth. There are still a couple entry spots left. To sign up, email therunninggoat@ cogeco.net or call 613-264-8904.
