Perth’s treasurer is hoping that town council can deliver on a 2018 that will only see taxes rise between one and two per cent. “It’s that time of year again,” said treasurer Lang Britchford, during a presentation to Perth town council’s committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 3. “We are starting to think about the budget.” The overarching goal, for his office, is that “we keep our levy increases in line with CPI,” the Consumer Price Index.

Lanark United Church celebrates anniversary
Members of St. Andrew’s United Church will host an “all you can eat” turkey supper on Sunday, Oct. 29, in celebration of their 194 years as a church on the Clarence Street hill. The first bell to hang in Lanark Highlands was installed in 1852 in the belfry of St. Andrew’s in Lanark Village. This area “pioneer” called people to Sabbath services year after year and still peals out and can be heard “for a five mile radius in four townships.” Twenty nine ministers have served the congregations over the past 193 years and the current minister is Rev. Shelley Roberts. For the Sunday night supper, doors will open at 4 p.m. and everyone will be seated at that time. As well as a main course of turkey and all the trimmings there will be a large variety of pies supplied by the excellent cooks of St. Andrew’s. Advance tickets are required and are available from Feryn Donaldson, at 613-259-2010 or Gail McFarlane at 613-259-5410. The cost is $15 for adults and $7 for those 12 and under.
